     Spring has finally sprung the grass is green, flowers are in bloom and the horse are ready to run. It's Derby time in Kentucky.

It's a sure bet that with the April monsoons we can almost see our grass grow. Between the rains and the Derby activities that are getting under way it can be a challenge to keep our lawns mowed. If we don't cut at least once a week  as fast as it is growing it can soon get out of control.

Also as we start working in our yards and gardens remember that any yard waste now has to be disposed of in an approved container (reusable bin, paper yard waste bag or compostable plastic bag meeting ASTM D6400 standards.

      Let's take pride in our home and neighborhood. It benefits us all!

     Have a great May!
Mayor Lewis

CITY PRIDE & GOOD NEIGHBOR AWARD

Image

Do you have a neighbor that is deserving of the City Pride Award? 


Does their property stand out?

Have they recently made improvements?

Have they done that something extra?

The City Pride Award now includes a Good Neighbor Award as well. Many times when a neighbor is recommended for the award it also includes that the neighbor is a good neighbor; so City Pride is now the City Pride & Good Neighbor Award. They do go hand in hand!

To nominate a resident for City Pride, please email Councilmember Donna Rand at r.rand@woodlawnpark.com, provide address and a reason for the nomination.

Make sure to check that the local government tax is going to Woodlawn Park on your insurance bills.......

Ordinance Number 3, Series 1990-1991 imposes a License Fee upon Insurance Companies for the privilege of engaging in the business of insurance within the corporate limits of the City of Woodlawn Park.  This includes homeowners, car insurance and first year premiums of life insurance.   This ordinance has been difficult to enforce because of the city dynamics and the number of insurance companies issuing policies. The problem has arisen where many residents are not making their insurance company aware of the proper direction of the tax fee.

Print this out and attach to your next insurance bill payment, or call your insurance agent directly to advise of your correct local government. 


Please properly direct the Local Government Tax for this customer to the City of Woodlawn Park, KY.  Zip Code is 40207.

FOR QUESTIONS

Contact the city treasurer by mail via C. Veeneman CPA, 2527 Nelson Miller Parkway / Louisville, KY 40223-3161

Contact the city treasurer by phone at 502-244-5043.

Please help us solve this situation and help your city collect thousands of dollars that are being routed to St. Matthews or other municipalities in error.  Your insurance rates WILL NOT change.  This tax fee is already being paid as part of your bill.  It is merely a matter of misdirection of these funds.  You can simply call your insurance company or detach the cut-out below and attach to your next payment.
