Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Jeffersontown public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Amphitheater access and vandalism
Residents have been cutting chains to get through the locked back gate, but the mayor says it's locked for safety — police were once blocked by parked cars during an emergency. Council asked the public to spread the word.
Park Vandalism and Misuse
The mayor reported Veterans Park is littered with dog waste and park bathrooms are being vandalized with rocks, bottles, and unflushed toilets. She threatened to lock facilities and asked staff to research how Metro Parks handles similar problems.
Amphitheater operations dispute
The city admits it let the amphitheater operating contract out too early and communication with the operator, Joey, has broken down. Big decisions — take it over, reassign it, or he stays — come after this summer's events, possibly in August.
