# Jenkins City Council October 5, 2026

The Jenkins City Council’s regular meeting on October 5, 2026, addressed infrastructure funding and spending, stormwater and sewer projects, road paving, and a contract for grant administration. The council approved a set of stormwater project priorities to advance through environmental review and construction using more than $4 million in CDBG-DR funding, and approved payment of several project requisitions/invoices, including approximately $21,996 for infrastructure and stormwater improvements, $61,500 for the Grand View water and sewer extension, $4,000 for sewer work, and $19,855 for a resiliency-related invoice. It also authorized the mayor to sign a revised administrative-services contract with the Kentucky River Area Development District to administer KIA and ARC funds. A budget amendment was approved on second reading, incorporating grant and other receipts—including $414,324 in FEMA funds and $150,000 from the sale of the old city hall—and corresponding expenditures.

The council received fall paving bids from TNT Paving ($85 per ton), Fleming Excavation LLC ($74 per ton), and Precision Incorporated ($75 per ton); Fleming was the low bidder, but the transcript does not clearly capture a final award vote. The city also reported submitting a request for about $2.02 million in state road-surfacing funds, with a potential 12.5% city match of $252,500 if all projects are funded. Council approved a resolution imposing a two-year moratorium on hyperscale data-center development, citing potential impacts on electricity, water, air quality, noise, and light, and calling for public information and a local referendum before final approval. Raven Rock Estates residents also presented a petition seeking paving of subdivision streets; no funding decision was recorded.
