Summary

The Bullitt County Fiscal Court met on April 6, 2021 and approved routine business, including bills and the March 16 minutes. It also passed two ordinances on second reading.

The court adopted an ordinance setting a specific license fee for small farm wineries. It also created the Highway 245 tourism overlay district. The transcript does not clearly show the final roll call on the overlay, but the discussion indicates it moved forward.

Magistrate Mitchell asked for the proposed employee handbook to go to department heads for review. The court agreed that written comments are due by the April 20 meeting, with a vote on the handbook at the first meeting in May (May 4).

The court held first readings and public hearings on two zoning changes for property at 1529 South Sanders Lane, from conservation to agricultural and to R1 residential. Second readings are set for April 20. No one spoke for or against either request.

The court also approved hiring a part-time paramedic, a rural secondary program resolution, and a rural and municipal aid agreement. It restored the speed limit on Brook Station Lane to 25 mph. The judge reported on a possible University of Louisville hospital for the county and on staffing changes in EMS and EMA. The meeting then adjourned.
