Public safety is the foundation of everything we do. This budget includes funding for 122 police officers, including leveraged federal grants for community policing efforts. I am also proposing to build on last year’s $12 million commitment to housing by broadening the spectrum of citizens served with a $2.5 million grant to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Although we’ve experienced revenue increases indicative of a strong economy, we are still attempting to gain ground on the deferred investments we needed during the recession. While this budget cannot address all of the infrastructure needs of an almost 240-year-old city in one year, it makes significant progress, more than doubling last year’s street infrastructure investment at $23 million; providing $12 million for essential vehicles and equipment; more than $14 million for technology; and providing more than $8 million for maintenance at Slugger Field, City Hall and Metro Hall. Beyond repairing what we have, we have to invest for the future. This budget includes funding for the design of our third regional library, in northeast Louisville, along with construction funds for a new animal shelter. This plan, with total expenditures of $822 million, including $583 million of General Fund dollars, balances the need for expanded services with a significant investment in our infrastructure. It is only by working together that will we see a return on our investment.

  • A 10-Year Perspective of the Merger of Louisville and Jefferson County, KY: Louisville Metro Vaults from 65Th Th to 18 Largest City in the Nation
    A 10-Year Perspective of the Merger of Louisville and Jefferson County, KY: Louisville Metro Vaults From 65th th to 18 Largest City in the Nation Jeff Wachter September, 2013 Over the past 50 years, the idea of merging a city with its neighboring or surrounding county has been contemplated in many American cities, voted upon in a few, and enacted in even fewer. The most prominent American mergers have been Jacksonville, FL; Indianapolis, IN; Nashville, TN; and Lexington, KY. Other cities—including Pittsburgh, PA and Memphis, TN— have attempted mergers, but failed at various stages in the process. City/county consolidation has been a controversial topic, with advocates and opponents pointing to different metrics that support their expectations for the consequences of a merger. Louisville, KY, which merged with Jefferson County on January 1st, 2003, is the most recent example of a city/county consolidation executed by a major American city. This report examines how Louisville Metro has performed over the past decade since the merger took effect by analyzing the city’s economy, population, government spending and efficiency, and public opinion about the merger. In the late 1990s, business and political leaders came together in an attempt to address some of the issues facing the Louisville region, including a long declining population and tax- base, escalating government spending, and multiple economic development organizations fighting to recruit the same businesses (often to the detriment of the greater Louisville region at- large). These leaders determined that a merger of the Louisville and Jefferson County governments was in the best interests of the region, despite the contentious nature of merger debates.

  • MAASTO Annual Report
    DRAFT i A letter from the president Greetings — I am pleased to present this 2017 annual report highlighting the achievements and innovations by our member states over the past year. The 10 states that comprise MAASTO are accomplishing some truly impressive things that will further elevate the prominent role we play in supporting our nation’s economy and enhancing the quality of life for citizens who call our region home. One thing is clear — as technology rapidly advances and the need deepens for identifying creative solutions for new and old problems alike, it is more important than ever that we work together to share best practices and inspire innovation. In that spirit, 43 individuals from across the region met in Chicago this spring for a summit on intermodal freight with an ultimate goal of strengthening the Midwest economy and improving the mobility of goods and people. A lot of discussion centered on opportunities for collabora - tion, as well as leveraging emerging technology and harmonizing regulations that vary by state and therefore affect freight movement. An overview of the summit begins on page 4. This report also highlights MAASTO’s effort to improve freight network safety and efficiency by providing truckers, dispatchers and their companies with real-time parking information. This is America’s first multistate effort of its kind. I am confident you will be impressed with the progress this partnership has achieved over the past year. We have a lot to be proud of and clearly can achieve great things together. Experiencing that level of partnership has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my role as MAASTO president.

Its health and economic impacts are staggering in scope and still developing as I present this proposal. And the true impact is further complicated by an evolving federal response for providing relief to different segments of our community, economy, and Louisville Metro Government. Given the number of unknown factors, I thought it prudent to present a continuation budget, knowing that we will undoubtedly need to revise it to achieve a structurally balanced and fiscally responsible plan that represents our city values.

  • E-ZPASS TRANSPONDERS RECOMMENDED for MOTORCYCLES Tolling Is Expected to Begin Late This Year
    Contact: Mindy Peterson RiverLink spokesperson 502.595.8704, [email protected] E-ZPASS TRANSPONDERS RECOMMENDED FOR MOTORCYCLES Tolling is expected to begin late this year LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 9, 2016) – Motorcyclists who have been waiting to open RiverLink accounts have a recommendation on which transponder to use. It’s recommended that motorcyclists use a RiverLink E-ZPass transponder, and purchase a transponder holder that works best for their motorcycle and needs. Several options can be found through third-party vendors with an online search. The RiverLink E-ZPass transponder is $15 per transponder. It’s a one-time cost for the life of the transponder, with the battery expected to last at least seven years. The RiverLink E-ZPass transponder can be moved from vehicle to vehicle registered to a single account. It can also be used in all 16 E-ZPass states, primarily located in the Northeast corridor. With a transponder, the toll for motorcycles is $2 per crossing, the rate for passenger vehicles. Opening an Account RiverLink is the new, all-electronic tolling system making the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project possible. There are no toll booths, no coin machines, no lines and no stopping. Initial toll rates range from $2-$12. The lowest toll rates are for drivers with transponders. Drivers must set up a prepaid account to get a transponder. Drivers can open a personal account online at www.RiverLink.com, by phone at 855-RIV-LINK or in person at one of two RiverLink customer service centers. The customer service centers are located at 400 East Main Street in Louisville and 103 Quartermaster Court in Jeffersonville.

  • TOLLING on OHIO RIVER BRIDGES to BEGIN DECEMBER 30 Kennedy, Lincoln and East End Bridges Will Be Tolled
    TOLLING ON OHIO RIVER BRIDGES TO BEGIN DECEMBER 30 Kennedy, Lincoln and East End bridges will be tolled JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (Dec. 13, 2016) – Tolling on the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project is scheduled to begin Friday, December 30. Tolled bridges include the new I-65 Abraham Lincoln Bridge, the improved I-65 Kennedy Bridge and the new East End bridge. “Critical system testing is complete,” said Clint Murphy, director of tolling oversight for the Indiana Department of Transportation. “While system preparations are continuing, we’ve cleared the necessary hurdles to set a start date for tolling. The Ohio River Bridges Project will mean faster and safer commutes for drivers. Without tolling, this new and improved transportation system would not be possible.” Drivers opening their RiverLink accounts online or by phone are encouraged to do so by the end of this week (Dec. 17) to help ensure they get their transponders before the start of tolling. Drivers with transponders will pay the lowest toll rates. Drivers must set up a prepaid account to get a transponder. All drivers who set up their accounts and have transponders assigned to their vehicles will pay the lowest toll rates on the first day of tolling, even if they haven’t received their transponders. License plates will be scanned and the transponder rate applied until transponders are delivered. Crossings will not count toward the frequent-user discount until transponders are properly mounted in cars. Drivers who have their RiverLink local transponders are encouraged to mount them now, so they’re prepared for the start of tolling.
