Residents press county on UDO changes, youth facility progress and community center transparency
Summary
During public comments, residents urged updates to the Unified Development Ordinance to limit 'misuse housing' in Westfield Village, pressed the board for progress on a Westside youth facility and ARPA funding use, and questioned transparency around Nelson Heights Community Center expenditures and county personnel costs.
Multiple residents used the public-comment period to press commissioners on housing, youth services and transparency.
Kimberly Cheese urged the board to consider UDO revisions to limit what she called "misuse housing" and described rising rental percentages in Westfield Village driven by build-to-rent practices. "We now have over 50% renters," she said, and asked the county to limit misuse housing in future UDO updates.
Maya Allen asked for progress on a Westside youth facility and noted the county has approximately $12 million in funds that she said were not being used; she urged the board to act quickly. Maddie Goggins raised questions about pay increases, attorney fees and requested an itemized invoice for Nelson Heights Community Center work, saying she had not received documentation after repeated requests.
Councilman Turner (City of Covington) said he hopes the city and county can work together on youth services such as a Boys & Girls Club and emphasized transparency and collaboration across jurisdictions.
