Governance
Under the authority of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and according to Kentucky Revised Statute 83A, the form of government under which the City operates is known as the “commission plan.” As such, the city is governed by an elected officer who is called “mayor” and by elected legislative body members who are called “city commissioners.” Together they are known as the “city commission.” Other officers and employees are provided for by statute or city ordinance.

Ordinances of the City are found in this section of the website. Over time, as they are prepared for dissemination, pertinent ordinances will be posted there.
In Kentucky, cities must codify ordinances and review their entire code of ordinances for consistency and updates at least once every five years, per Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 83A.060(11), which involves examining for outdated provisions and ensuring state law compliance. While this is the minimum, many cities, like Meadow Vale, codify by the minimum requirement (five years). Any party interested in acquiring information regarding the codified ordinances may contact the City Clerk as the following email account: meadowvalecityclerk@gmail.com
The Mayor presides at all meetings of the Commission and may vote in all proceedings. Regular meetings of the Commission are held at least once a month on the third Monday of each month commencing at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 9408 Blossom Lane. Residents of Meadow Vale are always welcome and encouraged to attend the open meetings.
Members of the Ethics Commission for the City of Meadow Vale are Jimmy Hogan, Gary Sparks, and Shannon Stafford. These positions are appointed and not elected.
