Litchfield council approves routine minutes, bills and several agreements; schedules follow-ups
Summary
The Litchfield City Council on July 1 approved minutes and bills, authorized a $27,000 MOA with the Transportation Cabinet for Grayson Street, accepted a telecommunications franchise and bid from Unity (Kinetic ABS LLC), and approved benefit and contract housekeeping items. Several items were first readings or informational; no controversial votes were recorded.
The Litchfield City Council convened July 1 and handled a slate of routine approvals, including the June 15 meeting minutes and the bills packet, both approved by voice vote.
Council approved a resolution on the city’s HRA arrangement for fiscal 2026–27 that continues the practice of the city covering half of the deductible for employees on the HRA plan. The council voted to accept a $27,000 Memorandum of Agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for the Grayson Street project; staff said the city had applied for multiple streets and this was the only award from that round.
The council also approved a telecommunications franchise for Kinetic ABS LLC (doing business as Unity) and accepted Unity’s bid and associated paperwork; staff said Unity was the only bidder, had provided a $5,000 application check and the contract documents are ready to be signed. Council approved a housekeeping resolution allowing the mayor to revoke the city’s earlier offer to purchase the health complex land; staff said that action will return the city’s deposit and shift the city’s role from owner to a contributor in the project.
Council reviewed and approved the May 2026 financial statement. Several items on the agenda were first readings or routine filings (parks-fees ordinance first reading, zoning-text amendments first reading) and will return for later action. The council adjourned after routine business and a public comment period.
