The Liberty City Council met in regular session last night.
On the agenda was a request to seek a 100% grant for Body Armor for City Police Officers.
The grant would come from the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security and would be of no cost to the City. The request to seek the grant was approved by unanimous vote.
Angela Rodgers addressed the Council with a request to consider a new All Inclusive City Park, where children with, and without special needs could play and interact. She stated that Gateway Park suffers frequent vandalism, and is in an awkward location due to having to cross HWY 127. She proposed a new park with easier access, and safety as the key components. Rodgers said there are many grants available to help fund such a project. Mayor Steven Brown asked about a proposed lot size, and suggested an area already owned by the city near the Head Start. The issue was tabled for future discussion.
The final item on last night's agenda was a First Reading of an Amendment to the City's Personnel Policy. An issue found in a recent audit of the City's Structured Lay-Out cited no designation for salaries for some city employees. A Tier System was recommended, which would incorporate certification tests to advance to a higher Tier, with Tier 3 being the highest level. The motion was approved by unanimous vote.
