The Shepherdsville City Council approved an ordinance to annex a 0.507‑acre parcel into the city during a special meeting. Council members recorded a motion by Rob, seconded by Jennifer, and called the roll; multiple members answered in the affirmative and the annexation passed by voice vote.
City staff (reading Ordinance 026001) described the property as a 0.507‑acre parcel located on Chili Coop Road in Trippetsville with parcel ID 027NE008008. The ordinance text, as read during the meeting, states the property is contiguous to city boundaries, is urban in character and suitable for urban development, incorporates descriptive exhibits by reference, and will remain subject to the same land‑use restrictions previously applied by Bullitt County fiscal court prior to annexation.
Council Member Mike Hibbert is listed as the ordinance sponsor in the reading. The ordinance summary included a deed reference (D book 11 47, page 585) and a standard severability clause and publication requirement. Chair S1 reminded council members that votes on annexation and planning matters should be supported by factual findings and consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan to reduce exposure to potential litigation.
Motion and vote details recorded in the meeting: the motion was made by Rob and seconded by Jennifer. When called by name during the roll, members including Mike, Faith, Rob, Fred and Buddy responded 'Yes.' The meeting record shows the ordinance reading, motion, and affirmative roll call; the council then offered brief congratulations to the property owner.
The ordinance text indicates the city will publish the ordinance as required. The council indicated related procedural matters (finalizing paperwork, exhibits and deeds) will be followed up as typical in annexation processing. No formal amendments to the ordinance were recorded during the meeting.
The meeting moved on to other new business after the annexation vote; the ordinance will be implemented according to the publication and recordation steps specified in the ordinance language.
