The Leitchfield City Council approved the placement of city police officer Bryan Langdon as the Resource Officer at the Grayson County High School during the council meeting Monday, May 18.
Langdon is scheduled to attend the 40 hours resource officer training offered by the Department of Criminal Justice in Richmond, KY in July.
Ex-sheriff deputy and high school resource officer, Tim Moutardier, was approved to replace Langdon as a city police patrol officer.
The city is hoping at least part of the funding to support the resource office position will come from a federal Cops Grant the city has applied for. If approved the grant will pay part of Langdon’s salary for three years.
The city has received a grant that will allow the high school to receive sewer service and it will then be annexed into the city limits of Leitchfield. This annexation will make the high school part of the area the city police will parole.
In other business:
• Alfreda Weedman from Master Gardeners presented the council with a diagram of the plants that will replace the trees and shrubbery recently removed for Public Square.
Leitchfield Planning and Zoning Administrator Keith Jones presented two first readings to the council with requesting zone ordinance changes.
The first was a request by S&P Rentals for property owned at 118 South Claggett Street in Leitchfield. The old dry cleaning building is now an apartment building and the zoning request was to be changed from B-2 to R-5.
The second request was made by Kevin Brooks. Brooks requested the 8.4 acres he purchased from the city of the land that the council bought on Hwy 54 be changed from heavy industrial zone to Light Industrial.
The council approved both requests.
• After receiving the resignation of Kay Stanton from the Planning Commission the council approved Kevin Brooks to fulfill what remains in her term.
• The council reported that the city pool had been painted this week and was ready to open on Saturday, May 23rd.
