PUBLIC COMMENTS
John Chilko, resident of Winchester Road, complained that his yard and the general area around his home were not returned to their original state after recent work done by a contractor for the Louisville Water Company. Mayor Tonini said he believes the contractor will be returning to accomplish seeding and other necessary checklist items to the area. However, to ensure that it is finished properly, he will have Kenan Stratman, Director of Public Works review the area and confirm with the Louisville Water Company contractor.
Josh Suiter, Membership Development Director for the Chamber of St. Matthews, reported the street festival was a huge success. Halloween in Brown Park is next on the community events list and it will be held October 26th. Notices were sent yesterday to Chamber members and already 10 business vendors have signed-up.
