In a routine gathering this morning, the Lawrenceburg City Council convened for their regular session. The session commenced with the City Administrator reporting on productive meetings held with all city departments, signaling progress in the budget planning for the upcoming fiscal year.
Transitioning to a packed agenda, council members deliberated and voted on various items, all of which received unanimous approval. Noteworthy decisions included the passing of an ordinance imposing a 2.5 percent privilege tax on hotels, motels, and other lodging establishments. Additionally, an ordinance amending the 2023-2024 budget by $87,600 for the Police and Fire Departments was approved.
Further actions taken encompassed a resolution greenlighting the purchase of a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe from Wilson County Motors, secured through a state bid, for the Police Department. Another resolution authorized the Fire Department to seek a SAFER grant from FEMA, aiming to recruit six full-time frontline firefighters for a three-year term. The council also approved a contract with Vickers Consulting to assist in the grant application process.
