Nicholasville outlines use of $21,000 LGEA and $700,000 municipal road aid
Summary
At a July 8 city commission hearing, city staff said Nicholasville expects $21,000 in Local Government Economic Assistance funds (earmarked for parks and recreation) and about $700,000 in municipal road aid split among paving, a sweeper purchase, and personnel; no public written comments were received.
City staff told the Nicholasville City Commission on July 8 that the city expects $21,000 in Local Government Economic Assistance (LGEA) funds and an estimated $700,000 in municipal road aid for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The LGEA funds "are estimated to receive $21,000 in revenue" and the city has earmarked those funds for Nicholasville/Jessamine County Parks and Recreation, Miss Walker said.
On municipal road aid, Miss Walker provided a proposed breakdown: $175,000 for street paving and milling, $350,000 to buy a street sweeper, and $175,000 for street-department personnel. Miss Walker said any resources above the estimates would be used toward paving.
A member of the public asked whether specific roads already were slated for work. Staff and commissioners urged residents to submit suggestions and said the city's staff maintains the road-priority list. A staff member encouraged residents to "shoot to me today" with road suggestions and noted the office keeps the list.
The mayor opened and closed the public hearing after noting there were no written comments submitted prior to the meeting. No formal vote was required to hold the hearing; the record shows the hearing was opened for comment and then closed by the mayor after receiving no written submissions.
What happens next: the allocations and any adjustments above estimates will be considered during budget and project planning. The commission did not take additional formal action at the hearing beyond closing the public comment period.
