Old Business
- In progress: NF Main Entrance signage and lighting update. Tracy will get options so that we will be ready when the highway construction impact is known.
- In Progress: Fence down along US42. John advised us to get the required approval from KYTC before proceeding. Tracy has spoken to them and they were not in favor of a fence in the right of way. Next steps:
- More discussion is needed to develop and document a plan for the entire fence project. Including a survey of the entire fence line.
- Include our State Representative Ken Fleming in the discussion to gain support, either at our monthly meeting or another time depending on availability.
- Debris from the damaged/decaying fence, how to remove? Is this issue a violation of the nuisance ordinance? Lawnco to help with a short term solution?
