A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Continued from 1 question is much more critical than the former ques- tion, but how can we help? WE need to make sure to assist the numerous charities who provide food and clothing for those in our community who are having a difficult time. We need to encourage a more fervent benevolance this holiday season and be more respect- ful and courteous to each other!! Is Louisville in for bleak economic times? Just as families are making choices, we, as the Mayor and City Council, make the same choices for the City. We are fortunate to have a budget that is not only man- ageable, but is not dependent on revenues that may come into the City. We have many positive economic indicators in Louisville and we should be thankful for those opportunities. 2009 will be a year for Louisville to make some critical decisions and the City Council is ready for the challenge. We must be willing to be progressive, as we have in the past, to anticipate our City's needs and the services that make our City so wonderful. Your City Council will be studying various measures to contin- ue to provide those services and one of the options in 2009 will be the consideration of an equitable use tax. No decisions have been made and we are aware of the prior vote by our citizens. We will be canvassing to evaluate some alternatives and to address some of the concerns as to why the previous use tax ballot ques- tion did not pass. In closing, I would like to express my heartfelt ap- preciation to all the citizens of Louisville for allowing me to serve as your Mayor. From my family to your family, I wish each of you the happiest of holidays during this very contemplative time. REMINDERS FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT Snowy weather brings slippery side- ~ walks.
