Radcliff council approves medical cannabis ordinance

The Radcliff City Council met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.

The council approved on second reading an ordinance that approves the operation of medical cannabis facilities in the city, as outlined by a Kentucky law that went into effect this year. 

“The cannabis business is any entity licensed under Kentucky statutes or administrative regulations as a cultivator, dispensary, processor, producer, or safety compliance facility,” said Radcliff City Attorney Mike Pike, reading from the ordinance. “Please find the full ordinance on the website www.radcliff.org, or by contacting the Radcliff City Clerk by email at Ashley.Russo@radcliffky.gov.”

That’s Radcliff City Attorney Mike Pike reading from the ordinance. Council Member Jerry Brown said the council had weighed the good and the bad, and after speaking with a pharmacist he said he believes the good outweighs the bad.

“He said there’s all these positive things and very little downside,” Brown said. “We’ve had to do a lot of research. We talked about this. I feel like this is the right thing to do.”

The first reading was held on an ordinance that will amend the city’s budget for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. Radcliff Mayor JJ Duvall said the budget adjustment is standard for the end of a fiscal year.

Council Member Pamela DeRoche encouraged area businesses and organizations to sign up for the Radcliff Days Festival and parade, which is coming up on September 21.

“That starts at 4 p.m. with vendors, and then the parade at 5, so we are looking for parade entries,” DeRoche said. “We’re looking for vendors. I’ve got several vendors already lined out. We’ve got food booths.”

The Radcliff City Council will next meet September 9.

The Elizabethtown City Council met for their second meeting of the month Monday.

An ordinance approving a zoning change for 1505 North Miles Street was approved on its second reading. The zoning was changed from R-2 to R-3, which fits developments such as duplexes.

The council approved several municipal orders, including the appointment of H.Y. Davis IV to the Board of Zoning Adjustments. The council also approved a contract not to exceed $200,000 with Palmer Engineering for professional design services for the upgrading of Commerce Drive for the city’s outdoor music venue.

“These services shall include surveying, final roadway design plans, permitting, preparation of bid documents, bidding assistance, and construction administration to be completed in coordination with the design of the outdoor music venue site,” said City Attorney Ken Howard reading from the municipal order.

An order approving the acceptance of $1,250,550 from the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority was approved. The city entered into a partnership agreement with the Authority for sanitary sewer upgrades for Leitchfield Road and South Ring Road to help support development on that end of the city.

Mayor Jeff Gregory and members of the council presented a portrait and plaque recognizing former Council Member Bill Wiseman, who passed away in June, to Wiseman’s wife and children. Patricia Wiseman said the portrait was a nice honor.

“I am very emotional, so this is really hard for me, but thank you, and I don’t think I realized until he passed away how many people really did love him, so he’d appreciate it very much,” Wiseman said.

The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet August 26.
