The council agreed that once the new City Hall is open and the Casey Bank closes or reduces its downtown facility, additional parking spaces will be open.

If the city chooses to take another 2 percent, it would get between $22,000 and $25,000 extra annually. Sweeney said the city gets 4 percent now. "If our tax was 6 percent, it would not cost the city residents any additional money," said Sweeney. However, it would mean the county will get 2 percent less. Councilman Scott Floyd was patients.

Reviewed by a group that included food service staff, principals and parents, the policy change focuses on how schools will notify parents of meal charges, Superintendent William C.

Wesley said the allocations will be revised in May and again in the fall after the; Kentucky Department of Education releases growth reports for schools.
