Woodlawn Park has a solicitation ordinance, but what's it say?

Woodlawn Park is a wonderful city with so many wonderful residents! Our people and our history are our strong suits. We should always strive to be kind, caring, respectful, and considerate of all those that come into our city.

An ATT employee knocking doors of their existing customers is ok.
The Boy Scouts of America sticking a note on residents doors to announce their food collection is ok.
A politician knocking on your door asking for a vote is ok.
A stranger walking down the street with a clip board is ok.

Someone knocking on your door trying to solicit their business without a Woodlawn Park is not ok.

If you believe that a solicitor is in the city without a permit, please contact Chief Wilson at (502) 650-2230 to alert him of the solicitor. Please do not take matters in your own hands.

A permit in Woodlawn Park for soliciting can be obtained via the website and approval by the Mayor only. Fees to solicit during the week are $25 per day, Saturdays are $50 per day, and Sunday's are $100 per day.

Let's all decide together not to jump to conclusions about someone in our city until we know for sure they are soliciting. Verbally attacking the Boy Scouts of America is unacceptable, unkind, and disrespecting to say the least. Let's all stay calm and contact the proper authorities before overreacting.

Crime Safety Tip from Chief Wilson

At this past Monday's City Council meeting, Chief Wilson made us all aware that this is the time of year that porch packages are taken illegally from your porch. A couple suggestions to help:

Assign a neighbor that is home to remove your package safely for you until you can retrieve it from your neighbor.
Make sure your Ring/Security cameras are charged and set to record

City Council Meeting- December 15th

(RSVP by December 7th- see below)

Join us at the December City Council meeting Monday, December 15th for some fun and community. There will be a brief meeting at 7pm. and Salsarita's will cater us a meal at about 7:20pm. We ask that all residents and your families that would like to attend RSVP (502) 895-6620 by Sunday, December 7th. Please enter extension 101 and leave us your name, address and how many will be attending in your family. An RSVP by the deadline is necessary so we can make sure we order enough food! Mayor Mike Brown will also hand out the State of the City that evening.

Clean out your yard drainage culverts

This time of the year is important to pick up your leaves so that water can flow through the city when it rains. One little "back up" can cause a major back up so please find some time to go out and clean out your culverts or drainage areas. We appreciate everyone's help in making this a priority! If you have a major drainage issue, please call MSD at (502) 540-6000 to make a report or contact Councilperson Russell Bushong.

October City Pride Award

Congratulations to Miles and Christine Deason at 4302 Westport Road for receiving the monthly City Pride Award. Their recent landscape bed and addition of our 3rd Little Library in our city really looks nice. If you have a neighbor that deserves the city pride award- just email the Mayor. Be sure to drive or walk by their property all month long for taking pride in their city along Westport Road! Residents are encouraged to use their Little Library as well as the one at city hall and one at the corner of Green Meadow Circle and Green Meadow Court!
