Summary
At its Oct. 20 meeting the Lawrenceburg City Council unanimously approved a salary ordinance and the 2026 budget, held three claims tied to the riverfront for further review, discussed grinding markings off speed tables near schools, and heard public comments on deer crossings and a distillery sewer issue.
Lawrenceburg City Council on Oct. 20, 2025, unanimously approved a salary ordinance and the city's 2026 budget and approved routine payroll and claims while holding three claims tied to the riverfront for further review.
The salary ordinance identified in the meeting as ordinance 8-2025 passed by unanimous voice vote. Council members also approved the city's 2026 budget by unanimous voice vote; the meeting transcript did not specify a formal ordinance number for the budget ordinance.
Council members said the salary and budget ordinances were finalized in time for posting online. The council noted both the salary ordinance and the budget must be approved before Nov. 1, 2025.
On claims, Council member Dylan Little moved to approve all claims except APV items 3889 through 3890 and 3809, which Little asked to hold for further review. The council approved the motion to pass the remaining claims and to approve payroll reports and checks once properly certified. Tommy Roulette seconded the motion to hold the three riverfront-related claims.
Council discussion also touched on traffic-safety markings at speed tables near local schools. Members asked staff to investigate removing or grinding the white vertical markings on the tops of certain speed tables near Central School and other locations so the features are less likely to be mistaken for crosswalks. Multiple members said they would mention the concern to Austin (city staff).
During the public-comment period a resident urged the council to consider placing deer-crossing or warning signs on Bilby Street after a fatal crash in which a motorcyclist struck a deer; the council called the suggestion a good one for preventing future injuries.
A resident identified in the meeting as Bridal Corrine Ritchie asked about whether a local distillery was current on tax or sewer payments. A city official said the issue discussed at the meeting involved sewer rates and that the distillery was paying the charges assessed; the official indicated residents did not need to buy bottled water in response to the question.
Utility staff also thanked crews for a quick repair to a water main on Tate Street and said no boil-water advisory was issued for that repair.
The council completed remaining routine items and adjourned.
