Publication of Ordinances Adopted in 2018
A change by the Kentucky Legislature in 2018 allows publication of Ordinances online on the City website rather than running lengthy and expensive advertisement in the newspaper. Beginning with Ordinances requiring publication in July 2018, these publications will be listed below for a period of one year. A brief ad with URL reference is published in the newspaper.
