Radcliff council approves four rezonings, police policy updates and Mercure Plaza lot purchase
Summary
At its July 15 meeting the Radcliff City Council adopted four zoning map amendments, approved updated police operating policies, confirmed two planning-and-zoning appointments, authorized an $85,000 purchase of Lot 1 in Mercure Plaza (with Councilwoman DeRoach recusing), and approved the annual cooperative salt purchase.
The Radcliff City Council on July 15 approved a package of routine and action items including multiple rezonings, updated police operating procedures and a real estate purchase intended to support local economic development.
In formal votes the council adopted second readings of four zoning ordinances affecting multiple parcels along Chandler Avenue and a large parcel at 699 Blackjack Road. The ordinances change zoning classifications for Dogwood Manor Lot 14 (0.468 acres), Lot 15 (0.276 acres) and Lot 16 (0.275 acres) and rezone 22.65 acres at 699 Blackjack Road to R-2. Planning Commission hearings on the map amendments were held June 5, and the commission recommended approval for each request. Each rezoning passed on roll-call votes.
Council also adopted updated police policies and standard operating procedures presented by Chief Cross. During discussion Councilmember Brown asked whether officers carry weapons off duty; Chief Cross confirmed officers do carry weapons when off duty and that the policy requires them to have their weapon when leaving home. The policy package passed by roll-call vote.
Mayor (unnamed) recommended two appointments to the Planning & Zoning Commission: Bob Mahanna and John Jennings. The council approved both appointments; Mahanna was presented as a longtime volunteer and assistant fire chief and Jennings as a local resident and retired Fort Knox contractor. One appointment fills the remainder of a term left vacant by the death of Pam Featherstone.
The council approved participation in the state-coordinated salt purchase program for Zone 8. The packet listed a price of $122 per ton for orders of 20 tons or more; the city usually purchases in bulk with neighboring municipalities to secure a lower price.
After an executive session for acquisition and sale of real property and economic development, the council added an item authorizing purchase of Lot 1 in the Mercure Plaza Subdivision (currently owned by Abound Credit Union) for $85,000 and authorized the mayor to sign documents necessary to complete the transaction, including any required budget amendment. Councilwoman DeRoach recused herself from that vote because of a family connection to the credit union; the motion passed on roll call.
No other formal actions were taken during the closed session, the mayor said. The meeting concluded with community announcements and a brief presentation by a U.S. Small Business Administration representative on disaster-relief loan programs.
