Resident pitches bilingual civic app; sheriff, clerk announce drug take-back and voting schedule
Summary
A resident presented a bilingual civic app called PropOC to aggregate local government information; Sheriff Tim Wakefield promoted an April 25 drug take-back, and Clerk Amy Alvey reviewed early voting, absentee-ballot deadlines and voting centers for May.
At the opening of the Oldham County Fiscal Court meeting on April 21, resident Larry Kaiser presented a public demonstration of an app he's building called PropOC ("Public Resources Organized Properly"). Kaiser described it as a bilingual, map-centered civic app that would aggregate government information, parks status, construction updates, meeting agendas and voting information to help residents find and report issues.
"It's going to be one app for everything," Kaiser said, explaining features that would show parks, restrooms, building permits and parking status. He told the court the tool is intended to "move public participation from reactive to proactive" and to reduce confusion caused by scattered information on Facebook and multiple websites.
Oldham County Sheriff Tim Wakefield announced a drug take-back event scheduled for Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at three locations: LaGrange Fire Department Station 2 (3637 West Highway 146), Oldham County Police Department (1855 North Highway 393) and the Kroger in LaGrange (2304 South Highway 53). "It'll be a great time to get rid of any prescriptions that you have laying around your house," Wakefield said.
County Clerk Amy Alvey laid out election logistics: excused voting at the clerk's office on May 6-8 and May 11-13; no-excuse early voting May 14-16; and nine voting centers on election day (including Oldham County High School, Crestwood Baptist Church and Goshen Elementary). Alvey said about 275 absentee ballot requests had been processed so far and reminded residents the final day to request an absentee ballot is May 5, 2026.
Judge Vogle and clerks also reminded residents of the courthouse dedication scheduled for April 30 at 11:00 a.m., with a post-ceremony tour and light reception.
