Covington commissioners authorize staff to initiate foreclosure actions on five properties
Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Covington Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an order authorizing city staff to initiate foreclosure proceedings on five properties as part of a city housing initiative; the minutes do not list the properties or further procedural details.
The Board of Commissioners of the City of Covington voted unanimously on March 10, 2026 to authorize city staff to initiate foreclosure actions on five properties as part of the city’s housing initiative. The motion to approve Commissioners’ Order No. ORD-057-2026 was made by Commissioner Tim Acri and seconded by Commissioner Tim Downing.
The minutes record that the order passed by voice vote with Commissioners Acri, Downing, Shannon Smith, James Toebbe and Mayor Ronald L. Washington voting yea and none voting nay. The record does not identify the specific properties, their addresses, owners, liens, or the legal grounds cited for foreclosure; the minutes state only that staff were authorized to initiate foreclosure actions.
The order appears on the consent agenda and was approved without discussion at the March 10 meeting. The minutes do not state what follow-up steps staff will take, whether the city will seek mediation or rehabilitation alternatives before filing, or any timeline for when foreclosure filings would be made.
The board entered a closed session later in the meeting under KRS 61.810(1)(b) and KRS 61.810(1)(c); the minutes note the closed session concluded with no further action. The minutes do not indicate whether any of the five properties are subject to matters discussed in closed session.
City officials did not provide statements or additional detail in the recorded minutes. Further information about the identities of the properties, the legal basis for foreclosure, and next steps were not specified in the record and would need to be obtained from city staff or in subsequent meeting materials.
