    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.

It’s a regional hub for Western Kansas and sets the pace for the region. Many of McCownGordon Construction’s finest associates are from Western Kansas, including Garden City, and we’re committed to serving your community. This project makes an important statement to your residents and we pledge to make it one they will be proud of. We will also engage as many of the local businesses as possible during construction and offer you our own team of highly qualified professionals that will make your aquatics project a success. We’ll do this with three key differentiators. Depth of Experience Per your RFP, there were several examples of ideas for Garden City’s aquatic park. The one most similar was Long Branch Lagoon in Dodge City for which McCownGordon was the construction manager. As your design and operations consultants have shared with you, aquatic projects have a host of unique challenges. Through our experience in successful delivery of several municipal aquatics projects across the region, we intend to bring those lessons learned and best practices to the table (See page 9 - schedule and page 23 - Keys to Success). From creative cost saving techniques to inventive constructibility recommendations, our team has the knowledge to provide significant value from the very first day we are selected as your partner.

Add to their duties a full time state job where they serve the Commonwealth of Kentucky as well, and you have a citizen giving back two-fold. “During Operation Iraqi Freedom we flew missions into 59 locations in 38 countries in the Middle East, Southwest Asia, Europe and Africa,” said Colonel Steve Bullard of the Kentucky Air National Guard in Louisville. Bullard was mobilized for 26 months and commanded a composite National Guard and Re- serve C-130 aircraft squadron in Germany. Besides serving in the Air National Guard, Bullard works full time as the Director of Administrative Services in the Department of Military Affairs at the Boone National Guard Center. “We regularly send out two airplanes and three crews on 17-to-45 day deploy- ments to places like Iraq, Bosnia and Central/South America,” Bullard said. Responsible for flying in troops, gear and humanitarian supplies on C-130 cargo planes, Bullard says soldiers are quiet going in to combat zones and boisterous returning home. Regardless your position in state government or elsewhere, he says leaving home is the greatest challenge. “One of the reasons I left active duty was because I was gone so much. I averaged 253 days on the road.” With a wife and three children, Bullard said he missed many winter holidays including two spent in the Middle East. Now Bullard is gratified to have the best of both worlds, working in Military Affairs and in the Air National Guard.
