Owensboro Board of Commissioners Regular Called Meeting - October 6, 2026

At the October 6, 2026, regular called meeting of the Owensboro Board of Commissioners, the board approved the sale of the city’s one-third interest in Air Park property to Clark Distributing Company for $40,000 per acre. The company plans to relocate there to support its continued operations and truck access. Commissioners also approved applying for an Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant to reimburse the Owensboro Police Department for $32,136 in network software and armored-vehicle-mounted cameras; the grant requires no city match. The city’s August financial report was accepted for audit. The air show recap noted an intention to hold another show in 2028 and discussed event costs and revenue, but no specific expenditure or contract action was presented.

The commission gave first readings to ordinances revising leaf-collection rules, closing an alley, and establishing a six-month moratorium on consideration of new facilities in certain group-housing categories; the moratorium would not affect existing facilities. It also considered an ordinance changing the Parks and Recreation superintendent title to deputy director, with no change to duties or salary. No other procurement awards or contract approvals were identified.
