Shepherdsville meeting: MET allocation falls to $192,000; carryover used for storm response
Summary
At a special meeting, participants said Shepherdsville was allocated $192,000 in MET funds for the year, down from about $252,000 the prior year; officials said there is no carryover because funds were used for road repairs and salt during recent severe weather.
At a special meeting at 5:30 p.m., meeting participants said Shepherdsville was allocated $192,000 in MET funds for the year, down from about $252,000 the previous year.
Meeting participants said there is no carryover this year because funds from the prior year were fully used for road repairs and for salt to respond to a recent snow event. “We are actually allocated a hundred and 92,000 for our MET money,” an attendee said during the discussion.
The participants noted the MET allocation is derived from road-related revenue, including gas-tax-related distributions, and that the reduced allocation reflects a smaller tax revenue base compared with last year. Participants referred to last year’s allocation as roughly $252,000 and said a prior carryover of about $45,000 had been used.
No formal spending decision or new ordinance was adopted at the meeting. The discussion consisted of acknowledging the allocation, confirming how prior carryover was spent, and noting that funds are used for road maintenance needs such as repairs and deicing materials.
After the brief discussion, a motion to adjourn was made, seconded and approved. The meeting ended shortly after the allocation discussion.
