 SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Once again this year, Bullitt Fiscal Court will get some reimbursement on its annual junk pickup program.

Lewis “Spud” Larimore of the Bullitt County Conservation District presented the county with a check for $7,500 to assist with the annual junk pick-up days.

Over the past five years, the district has been able to return about $52,000 to offset county expenses for the popular project.

The district has also secured about $37,000 over the past five years for dead animal removal.

 Inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may occur, so the information below is strictly of an advisory nature and is subject to change with no notice.

Pothole patching, sweeping, drain & ditch cleaning, pavement marking, and maintenance crews may work on major interstates in the Louisville Metro area only during non-peak daytime hours and at night.  Motorists should watch for roadside maintenance and pavement marking crews on interstates and highways throughout the rest of the district on a daily basis.

 SHEPHERDSVILLE — The Bullitt County Republican Party is asking for the resignation of the director of Central Dispatch or an internal review of the actions taken which lost access to NCIC information.

After infractions by the Central Dispatch operations caused the Kentucky State Police to pull NCIC access to the county, Bullitt Fiscal Court turned over the operations to the sheriff’s office in April.

The hope is that with the sheriff’s office in charge of the department, NCIC access will return in a more timely manner.

 SHEPHERDSVILLE - The show must go on…but it must have seven dedicated people.

That’s how many members will be necessary to continue the Bullitt County Arts Council, or the organization will fold at the end of the year.

The council officially voted to disband by 2018, with the stipulation added that BCAC will continue with enough people in place to properly manage the group.

“We’re at a concerning level,” announced BCAC president Donna Burke.
