The Radcliff City Council met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.
The first reading was held on a zoning amendment for 238 Cedar Oak Drive in Vine Grove.
“The request was for an amendment from Commercial Zone to Residential-Four (High Density, Single Family and Duplex) Zone,” said City Attorney Mike Pike, reading from the ordinance. “The Planning Commission recommended the zone map amendment request be granted as the request was supported by the evidence of record, the city’s comprehensive zoning plan, and applicable law, and the City Council is now enacting an ordinance to change the property zoning.”
That zoning change is for the last parcel of property Silver Gate Properties LLC. is requesting for their development in the Arlington Center subdivision.
The first reading was also held on an ordinance amending the city’s code of ethics.
“The ordinance defines terms and standards of conduct regarding conflicts of interest, receipt of gifts, use of government resources, confidential information, political solicitation, patronage, honoraria, meeting attendance, and other related issues,” said Pike, reading from the ordinance.
The council approved the appointment of Tim Marsh as the city’s fire chief. Radcliff Mayor JJ Duvall said Marsh has been with the department for 25 years and has been serving as interim chief for just under six months.
Marsh thanked the council for entrusting him with the safety of the citizens of Radcliff.
“I don’t take it lightly,” Marsh said. “It’s pretty much an honor to do this. I don’t do it alone. I have a great group of employees and staff. Thank you for the extra captain, because having Captain VanderMolen and Captain Green helping me makes the day-to-day stuff a whole lot better, a lot easier. We run a lot smoother.”
The Radcliff City Council will next meet December 8.

A Grayson County woman is safe after a multi-agency search Monday.
Grayson County Emergency Management says Angelica Elliot was found safe after being reported missing Monday afternoon.
According to a release from the emergency management office, at around 4 p.m. on November 17 the Wax Fire Department, Grayson County Sheriff’s Office, and Grayson County Emergency Management were notified of a missing 19-year-old woman, identified as Elliot. She was last seen in the area of Miller Road in Wax at around 2:30 p.m.
A preliminary investigation and search was performed by the notified units in the area where Elliot was last seen. Additional agencies from Grayson and surrounding counties joined the search after being requested to respond and assist.
At approximately 7:30 p.m., a search team searching structures and the wood line in the area of Wheelers Mill Road heard Elliot yell out for assistance. She was found about 700 yards off the roadway and about three tenths of a mile from her residence.
Elliot was reunited with family and transferred by Grayson County EMS to Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Hospital for evaluation. Grayson County Emergency Management says her initial condition on-scene was “reported to be cold but safe and okay with no life-threatening injuries.”
