The Bellevue City Council met to review financial matters, city projects, and community events. The meeting included a presentation of the annual audit, which resulted in a clean report with no significant deficiencies or compliance issues. The auditor highlighted the city’s strong financial position, noting a surplus in cash reserves but recommending the addition of a full-time accountant to manage complex financial transactions and federal grants.
The council approved several new ordinances, including an agreement with Compass Infrastructure Group for engineering services and an interlocal agreement with South Bank Partners to promote regional economic growth. A resolution was also passed opposing a state proposal to centralize local occupational tax collection, citing concerns over losing local control.
Community updates included preparations for the Bellevue Winter Carnival on February 22 and the Shamrock Shuffle scavenger hunt on March 7, followed by St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Business owners requested an extension of operating hours during the holiday weekend and improved pedestrian safety measures on Fairfield Avenue.
Public comments focused on preserving the Bellevue Urban Forest, with residents urging the council to change its classification from a “special development area” to a protected buffer zone. Infrastructure discussions addressed road closures on Riviera Drive and ongoing delays in water meter installations on Lafayette Avenue.
The meeting concluded with updates from the police and fire departments, including new hires, promotions, and recognition of Bellevue’s top-tier compliance rating from the Kentucky League of Cities audit.
