Woodland Hills commission approves routine business, withdraws from Kentucky telecommunications tax
Summary
At its March 25 meeting, the City of Woodland Hills commission approved minutes and financials, voted to withdraw from the municipal order for the Kentucky telecommunications tax effective March 1, 2025, and heard first readings of tree, tax and budget ordinances.
The City of Woodland Hills commission met on March 25, 2025, and took a series of routine administrative actions, including approving minutes, financial reports and warrants and authorizing a withdrawal from the municipal order for the Kentucky telecommunications tax.
City Clerk Lisa Baldwin presented the February minutes; Commissioner Hedden moved to approve with one correction, Commissioner Horan seconded and the motion carried. Treasurer Jones presented the February financial report; Commissioner De Villier moved to approve, Commissioner Gillenwater seconded and the motion carried. Treasurer Jones also presented warrants; Commissioner Horan moved to approve and Commissioner Gillenwater seconded; motion carried.
Mayor Killeen told the commission that the UFIR (Uniform Fiscal Information Report) is due on May 1, 2025. Treasurer Jones reported that a few property tax payments have been received and that eight accounts remain unpaid as of the meeting.
On a separate motion, Commissioner Hedden moved that the city withdraw from the municipal order for the Kentucky telecommunications tax effective March 1, 2025; Commissioner Horan seconded and the motion carried. The minutes record the commission's authorization of the withdrawal but do not include a roll-call tally.
Mayor Killeen presented first readings of three ordinances: Ordinance #2 (Tree Ordinance), Ordinance #3 (Tax Ordinance) — with a proposal to keep the tax rate at the current level — and Ordinance #4 (Budget Ordinance). Killeen noted the city’s refuse contract runs through June 30, 2025, and said he had contacted EcoTech about future refuse rates; he also said he would have professionals review the proposed tree ordinance prior to its second reading.
The meeting record shows one returned petition related to a merger effort; Mayor Killeen stated that petitions had been distributed and that one petition had been received.
The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m.; the next regular commission meeting is scheduled for April 22, 2025.
