The Russell Springs City Council will consider establishing a new recreation director position when members gather for their regular monthly meeting tonight.

Highlighting the evening’s legislative business is the first reading of an ordinance that would formally create the recreation director role.

In addition to the proposed ordinance, the council is scheduled to vote on two resolutions: one to adopt the Lake Cumberland Area Development District’s multi-jurisdictional, multi-hazard mitigation plan for Russell County, and another concerning city surplus property.

The agenda also features special recognitions and financial reviews, including a retirement award presentation and a formal audit presentation. Council members will hear departmental updates from the police department, economic development, and the mayor’s office, and will review routine business such as previous meeting minutes, cash disbursements, and financial statements.

The meeting begins at 6:00 p.m. at Russell Springs City Hall and is open to the public.
