This the required, State of the City Address, due at the beginning of each year.

It is with great pleasure to report that the City of Shively turned 80 years old in 2018 and is fiscally sound. Moving forward, we will continue to work on attracting new business and improve infra-structure within the city, as well as healthy and safe neighborhoods.

As we enter a new year, there are new opportunities to grow and enhance our community collectively. I would like to encourage all

residents to make a difference by becoming involved in our diverse Shively community. Whether, it’s volunteering at a school, mentoring the youth, helping senior citizens, or planting a community garden. Random acts of kindness will help to increase a positive community of peace and inclusiveness. We are the gatekeepers our community. So, please if you see something, say something. Together we can change the world.

I ask for your patience as the Dixie Highway and Shively Sidewalk projects get un-derway. We’ve waited a long time and finally, the new Premier Best Western is about to open for business. While traffic may seem to be an issue during this time, it will definitely enhance the face of the city once completed.

As travelers pass through our city, I want them to notice that the landscape of Shive-ly is changing. Therefore, I plan to propose some ideas that will cosmetically enhance the look of our city. Please join us at our monthly meetings and bring new ideas as we collaborate and discuss business items.

Our departments are working hard to maintain the quality of services you are accus-tomed to and deserve. Each department will have has news to share on their progress.

City Hall is busy with collecting taxes and working with various programs. They are in the midst upgrading technology and security measures for our main building. Our fire department have been extremely busy as well. In 2018 they made 2,399 runs.

In 2018 our Code Enforcement board were able to address 2,160 complaints. It is because of their team efforts and hard work, that the city collected over 100, 000 in fines. Thank you to all who maintain their property.

The public works department anticipates that the Sidewalk project will be complet-ed by the end of 2019. This will include the streets of Garrs Lane, Mary Catherine and Farnsley Road. The works department has also implemented an automated system to collect recycling, and purchased 95 gallon totes for residents that choose to participate in recycling.

The police department will be seeking to add a traffic car that will specifically be assigned to running radar in the city to combat speeding complaints in various areas. This unit vehicle will also help investigate serious motor vehicle accidents where inju-ries could be fatal.

Residential and Commercial Alarm SystemsIn February 2017, the Shively Police Department began registering home and commercial alarm systems within the city. In addition, we began leaving notifications of our response to an address when the alarm was determined to be false/unwarranted. Reminder, the Shively Police Department, in conjunction with the Shively Code Enforcement Board will be issuing City Code Citations to addresses with three or more false/unwarranted alarms within a calendar year. It is the duty and responsibility of the property owner or resident/tenant to ensure that alarms are properly functioning and mea-sures are in place to mitigate false/unwarranted alarms. All residential and commercial properties within the City of Shively are required to register their alarm system with the Police Department. Alarm registration forms can be picked up at the Shively Police Station anytime or download from the forms section of the Shively Police Webpage, www.shivelyky.gov. There is no fee for registering alarms.
