The Bardstown City Council on May 26 adopted Ordinance B2026-07 authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $25,680,000.
Councilman Roland E. Williams moved to adopt the ordinance as read by City Attorney Audrey Haydon-Blackmon; Councilman Franklin Hibbs, IV seconded the motion. The roll call recorded Councilmen Joe Buckman, David Dones, Franklin Hibbs, IV, Bill Sheckles, Roland E. Williams and Councilwoman Betty Hart voting "aye." Mayor J. Richard Heaton then declared the ordinance adopted.
The ordinance authorizes the city to issue bonds in the stated principal amount; the meeting minutes record the adoption but do not specify which projects or line items the bonds will fund. The ordinance was read in summary by the city attorney at the meeting.
No dissent or abstentions were recorded on the adoption vote. The council continued with other agenda items, and the fiscal-year budget ordinance for 2026–27 (B2026-08) was introduced later in the meeting for summary reading by the city attorney.
