Meeting Minutes

Treasurer’s Report

The Treasurer distributed financial reports prior to the meeting for activity through June 2026. They included:

• General Fund Income Statement
• Balance Sheet
• Northfield Schedule of Investments
• Road Fund Income Statement & Balance Sheet

Road fund required $28k from prior year earnings to cover a deficit.

Charlie covered the insurance increase. He requested a quote via Kentucky League of Cities which was $10K less. Randy will have Larry review the quote before a decision is made. The city is currently with Travelers. Larry advised we ask our agent for a review annually.

No update: Larry asked if we were eligible for state funding for our road work. Certain criteria has to be met to be eligible. John will share a presentation that explains the process. The Mayor has experience with Federal funding.

Old Business

• NF Main Entrance signage and lighting update. The new sign and lighting has been installed (in progress by Tracy: electric problem to be addressed). The Lime Kiln sign and lighting is in progress. All brick will be power washed prior to the new sign install. Lights and sign have been ordered. The pole and old camera will be removed as part of this effort.
• In Progress: Fence down along US42. John advised us to get the required approval from KYTC before proceeding. Tracy has spoken to them and they were not in favor of a fence in the right of way. Next steps:
  • Tracy and the Mayor will review the presentation with our State Representative Ken Fleming, with the goal of assisting with KYTC.
  • Debris from the damaged/decaying fence, how to remove? Is this issue a violation of the nuisance ordinance? Lawnco to help with a short term solution? Not resolved.
• Lime Ridge sidewalk installation and landscaping. Survey has been completed. Next step is contract signing. Easement has been approved.
• Trish asked about a brick fence instead of a wood fence along 42. This was investigated a few years ago, and was not deemed viable due to cost. Trish reported on one quote she had received, for a brick perimeter fence, 8’ tall, $500K. She will distribute the quote to the council, and is in the process of getting more quotes.
• The Mayor is setting up a shredding event, details TBA.
