OPERATION BRIGHTSIDE
Circle Saturday, October 26 on your calendar.
Metro Louisville is providing T-shirts to folks
who sign up early. Be sure to mention your size
when you contact me. Our group will be pitching
in to pick up somewhere here in the City of
Hurstbourne Acres. In the spring we had about 12
participants. Community-wide, the event
removed 16 tons of trash from Metro streets,
sidewalks and green spaces. That is equivalent to
the total amount of trash produced by 22
Americans for one entire year. Let's do it again!
Sally Price
THE COURIER-JOURNAL
Several individuals have contacted the C-J
regarding their dissatisfaction with driveway
deliveries, instead of porch placement as in the
past. The C-J's representatives have indicated that
'everyone' needs to call to complain. There was
no promise that delivery would revert back to the
more convenient & safer front door placement,
but let's do please take time to make that call:
800/866-2211. Newspapers lying at the end of
driveways are an indicator that no one is at home.
Also, People falling in an attempt to retrieve their
papers from their driveways is another concern.
Please make that call: 800/866-2211. Sally Price
Streets and Lights
“No U-turn” signs were installed on Bunsen
Pkwy. in co-operation with the City of

Parks
I wish I could take credit for the wonderful
weather we had for the picnic. I would like
to thank everyone that attended and hope
you all had a great time. I gave out over 70
gift cards totaling over $900.00. I enjoyed
meeting with all of the nearby businesses
and most were very generous. I hope you
will patronize them. Also Vision First made
a donation that was not listed in last month‟s
newsletter.
I hope that all of you were notified of the
picnic. The flyers were delivered on
Thursday and Friday and I hope they were
all received.
I had great feedback about the band and if
anyone else has any feedback either good or
bad concerning the picnic or any suggestions
for next year please let me know. Also, if
anyone has an upcoming event and would
like contact information for any of the
performers and/or caterers I have all that.
Please let me know.
I would like to thank the following - Boy
Scout Troop 243 for setting up and taking
down the tents-and their help in finishing up
all the desserts -Buddy Bat - McMahan Fire
Dept. –HAPD for delivering meals, running
errands etc. And to Officer Bittle for

Thanks

____________________________________________
Streets
Commissioner Lynch reported that he has
been in contact with J-Town regarding the „No U-
Turn‟ signs for Bunsen. It was noted by Mayor Fore
that J-Town does not currently have the equipment
needed to install. Further information will be
provided at next month‟s meeting. Concerning the
speed bumps, the newly projected time of
construction will be 10/1 and 10/2. After a
discussion about the paint scheme for the „No

ordered based on the 2015 standards. Finally,
Commissioner Lynch observed a woman pushing a
stroller along Hurstbourne Parkway, concerned
about her safety. The ensuing discussion did not
result in any agreed action by the City to alleviate
the problem.

late, Commissioner Renninger outlined all of the
services that our Police Chief and Police Officers
consistently provide to the city residents and
businesses. Treasurer Hollkamp assured the

payday. After a discussion, Mayor Fore promised
that all future salary payments will be made on time.

Commissioner Lynch for his help in refurbishing the
picnic tables. Commissioner Price assisted with

removal service for our city. It was confirmed that
DirtWorks will continue to provide the service and a
signed contract is forthcoming.
Wall Access to Taylorhurst
From recent criminal activity using the
access in the wall along Hurstbourne Lane, at least
one resident on Hurstbourne Lane is asking that the
City close up the opening. During a discussion,
suggestions to help reduce or eliminate the security
concerns included installing a gate and/or security
camera. There had been previous discussions about
installing an ADA ramp. Mayor Fore proposed that
all of the residents along Hurstbourne Lane be
contacted about this issue. In addition, Mayor Fore
said that he would write a letter to the businesses at
Taylorhurst for their opinion and input.
ABC Ordinance
In answer to a question from a representative
of Liquor Barn at the meeting, Mayor Fore outlined
the reason for the City‟s action in adopting an
ordinance to license and regulate the sale of
alcoholic beverages in the city.
There being no further business or discussion during
the regular meeting, an Executive Session was called
