Topics getting the most attention in Jeffersontown public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Employee health insurance renewal — 30.77% increase
The city's health insurance is expected to jump because of a high-claims year, so the council set a special meeting on November 4 at 5 p.m. to review options and sign up for coverage before the deadline.
FY 2025-26 budget amendment
Council adopted next year's property tax rate ($0.108 per $100 assessed value) and a balanced $39.1 million budget covering city services from July 2026 through June 2027.
Community funding allocations ($84,500)
Six groups — Cub Scouts, the high school alumni association, First Baptist Church programs, the Plainview Swim Club, and Eastern High School's graduation party — asked the city for about $30,000 total. Council will decide who gets money at the next meeting.
Appropriation of 2024-25 unappropriated funds
The council finalized spending about $2.86 million in leftover funds — big chunks for police, public works, special projects, severance, and future projects. This affects what city services and improvements get money this year.
