Frankfort commissioners review strategic-plan draft with Kentucky League of Cities, adjourn special session

Mayor Layne Wilkerson convened a special meeting of the Frankfort Board of Commissioners on Jan. 6, 2026, at the Capital City Museum Library to hold a strategic planning session with consultants from the Kentucky League of Cities (KLC). The session, which began at 8 a.m., focused on reviewing preliminary reports from a prior November 2025 meeting and refining the Board’s priorities and goals for the coming term.

Tad Long and John Buchanan of the Kentucky League of Cities reviewed findings from the preliminary reports and led the Board through a comprehensive review of the draft priorities plan, identifying areas for refinement. Commissioners discussed earlier department-level input that had been gathered during the November session and raised items for clarification; the transcript records substantive commentary but does not record any formal amendments or votes on the plan’s content.

Commissioner Kelly May moved that the meeting adjourn; Commissioner Katima Smith-Willis seconded. The motion was adopted by voice vote and the meeting adjourned at 11:21 a.m. The minutes record the Mayor’s signature and City Clerk attestation as the formal record of the session. No next meeting date or further procedural instructions about the plan were recorded in the transcript.
