Owensboro-Daviess County Building Code Appeals Board – Reappoint Ben Clark Jr. to a four-year term effective May 7, 2023

Owensboro Historic Preservation Board – Reappoint Ed Allen and Aaron Kizer to a three-year term effective May 18, 2023 

Chapter 19, Article II, Sections 19-41 to 19-55, inclusive, of the Owensboro Municipal Code is the “Special Events Ordinance”, and is included under Chapter 19 entitled, “Parks and Recreation”.  Special Events are managed by the Public Events Department and not the Parks & Recreation Department.  In order to prevent confusion, the Special Events Ordinance should be separated from ordinances concerning Parks & Recreation.  Various changes need to be made to the Special Events Ordinance including identifying membership of the Special Events Committee by department, making meetings of the Special Events Committee internal since all members are City employees, and exempting from the Special Events Ordinance events to be held at the Owensboro Indoor Sports Facility.
