The Glasgow City Council will meet Monday, Feb. 9, at 6 p.m. at Luska J. Twyman Municipal Building, with council members expected to hear a departmental update and consider two resolutions, including one tied to hazardous waste disposal for local residents.
While no old business is listed on the agenda, two items of new business are scheduled for consideration. One resolution would amend the composition of the Plaza Theatre Advisory Board and reappoint its members.
A second resolution would authorize the City of Glasgow to apply for a grant administered through the Kentucky Pride Fund for household hazardous waste management, which could help offset the cost of safely collecting and disposing of items such as chemicals, paints, and other materials not suitable for regular trash service.
In addition, the council will be formally notified of a series of executive orders updating the Glasgow Police Department’s standard operating procedures.
The 15 orders cover a wide range of policies, including vehicle operations, jurisdiction and mutual aid, ethics, arrest and citation procedures, duty to intervene, use of naloxone (a drug used in cases of opioid overdoses), ride-along guidelines, and critical incident investigations.
While the executive orders do not require council action, they are being entered into the public record for transparency.
The next scheduled regular council meeting is Feb. 23.
The agenda is as follows:
Presentation: Wes Billingsley – Public Works Department
New Business:
• Resolution No. 2026 – A Resolution Amending the Composition of the Plaza Theater Advisory Board and Reappointing Board Members.
• Resolution No. 2026 – A Resolution for the City of Glasgow to Make Application for a Grant Administered by the Kentucky Pride Fund for Household Hazardous Waste Management.
