MIDWAY CITY COUNCIL HONORED at this week’s meeting Assistant City Clerk
Sonya Conner and Councilmember Mary Raglin for completing the Level I
Achievement in City Governance from the Kentucky League of Cities.
Midway Mayor Stacy Thurman announced at the City Council meeting this
week that the low bidder on the next water supplier contract was the
Frankfort Plant Board (FPB). The current supplier, Kentucky American
Water, was the only other bidder. Thurman directed the Public Works
Committee, chaired by Councilmember Logan Nance, to meet before the next
council meeting with the city engineer, David Brown, and the city water
operator, Jack Blevin, to review and analyze the proposed FPB contract
and make recommendations. Thurman said she expects the council to vote
on the contract at that Nov. 20 meeting.
Thurman reminded the councilmembers that if FPB becomes the new water
supplier, then construction will need to begin quickly on the
infrastructure to hook Midway’s system into the FPB system, which will
include a new pump station that the FPB will maintain. She said this
will need to be completed by May 25, 2024, when the Kentucky American
Water contract expires. A new contract with FPB would be for 20 years.
Councilmember Patrick Hall reported that the Parks Committee has begun
construction of the new dog run which he said, “looks great, people are
really going to enjoy this.”
Councilmember Sara Hicks reported that the Cemetery Committee is working
on a memorial to honor those buried in St. Rose cemetery without a
marker. She said that the committee expects to have a detailed proposal
for the council to consider funding for this project in the 2024-2025
fiscal cycle.
The council honored Councilmember Mary Raglin and Assistant City Clerk
Sonya Conner who completed the training for the Level I Achievement in
City Governance at the Kentucky League of Cities city officials training
center.
