Highland Heights City Council: 8/4/26
<p>At its August 4, 2026 meeting, the Highland Heights City Council approved the minutes from the July 7 meeting and conducted its annual <strong>Municipal Road Aid discussion</strong>, inviting residents and council members to identify streets in need of future maintenance and reconstruction. Residents requested that the city evaluate <strong>Brandywine Drive</strong>, citing deteriorating pavement near completed curb work, while council members recommended reviewing <strong>Catherine Court</strong>, where repeated resurfacing has reduced curb height and contributed to drainage issues, as well as a section of <strong>Ridge Hill Drive</strong> near a resident's driveway and the lower end of <strong>Camp Road</strong>, where pavement edge failure has become a concern. City officials explained that these locations will be reviewed by the city engineer and Public Works Department and prioritized based on overall condition as part of the upcoming road improvement program.</p><p>Council also received correspondence thanking the Public Works Department for improvements made to the city's community garden, including repairs to the elevated water tank and improved water pressure for gardeners. Public Works reported that crews continue to receive positive feedback on the city's appearance, recently completed pavement repairs on Catherine Court, and ongoing construction on <strong>Honey Tree Lane</strong>. The department also announced that crew leader <strong>Brett Dorn</strong> had completed the <strong>Roads Master</strong> certification program, joining other certified members of the department, and provided updates on planning for Highland Heights' <strong>100th anniversary celebration</strong> in 2027.</p><p>Police Chief Bill Birkenhauer reported on current public safety initiatives, including ongoing traffic assistance during the resurfacing of <strong>U.S. 27</strong> from Interstate 471 into Fort Thomas and reminders about Kentucky's updated <strong>school bus stopping law</strong> as students prepare to return to school. He also highlighted the department's acquisition of a new <strong>moving target firearms training system</strong>, purchased cooperatively with five other law enforcement agencies to improve officer training while reducing costs. Officials noted that the equipment will also strengthen the department's Kentucky League of Cities insurance and accreditation standing. City Clerk Jeannie Schmitz informed council that delays by the state in finalizing property assessment information have postponed the city's annual tax rate process, making it likely that a <strong>special council meeting in September</strong> will be necessary to adopt the required tax ordinances before October billing deadlines. Council subsequently voted to <strong>cancel its August 19 regular meeting</strong> due to the light agenda.</p><p>Following an executive session held under <strong>KRS 61.810(1)(f)</strong>, the council returned to open session and announced that <strong>no formal action had been taken</strong>. However, several council members publicly addressed the recent guilty plea entered by Council Member <strong>Jesse Hockenberry</strong> on a misdemeanor <strong>third-degree sexual abuse</strong> charge stemming from conduct involving a former legal client. Multiple members expressed that, in light of the guilty plea, they believe Hockenberry should resign from both the council and his reelection campaign, citing the importance of maintaining public trust in elected officials. Council members also explained that if a resignation is not submitted voluntarily, the city could pursue the statutory public hearing process to consider his removal from office. The meeting concluded with council comments and adjournment.</p><p>Disclaimer: This summary was generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence based on the meeting transcript and may not capture every discussion, motion, or detail contained in the official meeting record.</p>

Members explained that using the nonprofit organization will allow sponsors and donors to make tax-deductible contributions while providing transparent financial management for anniversary events and projects. Council also discussed plans to establish a citizen-led centennial committee to coordinate historical exhibits, community celebrations, and other commemorative activities throughout the anniversary year.</p><p>Additional business included updates from city staff on planning and development activities, including continued coordination on commercial projects, infrastructure improvements, and economic development opportunities.

Highland Heights City Council: 6/16/26
<p>At its June 16, 2026 meeting, the Highland Heights City Council approved the minutes from the June 2 meeting and received the Mayor’s annual State of the City Address, which highlighted the city’s financial position, economic development activity, and community initiatives. City leadership reported that revenue increased approximately 14% over the previous year, crediting strong business activity and continued recovery and growth following the slowdown experienced during and after the COVID period. Officials noted that commercial development continues to play a significant role in supporting city operations, with businesses accounting for an estimated 66–70% of the city’s budget support, while also pointing to renewed interest in available commercial properties, ongoing development at Gateway West and the north end of the city, progress on the new VA medical facility, installation of updated city gateway signage, and completion of portions of the city’s green space improvements including trails, gathering areas, and future pickleball amenities.</p><p><br></p><p>Council approved on second reading Ordinance 03-2026, amending the Fiscal Year 2025–26 budget. Adjustments included increasing total estimated revenues from $5.95 million to approximately $6.40 million, increasing total operating revenues, reallocating American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, and increasing appropriations in several departments including maintenance, planning and zoning, and capital outlay while ending the fiscal year with a projected fund balance of approximately $5.2 million. Officials explained that some departmental increases reflected the final allocation of ARPA funds, all of which have now been committed and must be fully expended by the end of 2026.</p><p><br></p><p>The council also approved Municipal Order 11-2026, extending the city’s agreement with Rumpke of Kentucky for waste collection and recycling from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028 at a rate of $23.19 per unit per month. City officials recommended exercising the first renewal option rather than rebidding the contract, citing concerns that current market pricing would likely exceed the rates negotiated in 2021. Residents were informed that the adjustment represents an increase of approximately $2.74 per month, or $32.88 annually, per household.</p><p><br></p><p>In additional business, council adopted Resolution 03-2026 requesting an extension of Governor Beshear’s executive order temporarily reducing Kentucky gas taxes by 10 cents per gallon through June 30. Members discussed balancing potential short-term savings for residents against possible impacts to municipal road aid funding but ultimately supported requesting continued relief. Public comment included discussion regarding an ongoing code enforcement matter involving placement of a residential shed, with staff explaining that the property owner remains in the compliance process and that additional enforcement action remains available if progress stalls. Council also began early discussion about forming a citizen committee to plan Highland Heights’ 100th anniversary celebration in 2027, with the goal of involving residents and documenting city history ahead of the centennial year.</p><p><br></p><p>Disclaimer: This summary was generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence based on the meeting transcript and may not capture every discussion, motion, or detail contained in the official meeting record.</p>
