The Wilder City Council convened on June 2, 2025, for a meeting marked by remembrance and reflection, beginning with a moment of silence for the late Mayor Stanley Turner and Assistant City Clerk Karen Slip. The council proceeded to approve prior meeting minutes and introduced a new attorney, Sue Cassidy, filling in for the city’s usual counsel. Several ordinances received attention, including final approval of changes to stop sign and trailer parking regulations, updates to police department policy in line with Kentucky League of Cities recommendations, and the first reading of new legislation to regulate medical cannabis facilities in anticipation of potential dispensary applications. A detailed overview of the proposed 2025–2026 city budget was presented, highlighting 9% revenue growth, increased tax income from new developments, and thoughtful staff compensation strategies, including base pay adjustments driven by savings in pension costs. The city also discussed capital improvements, including street repairs, playground upgrades, and emergency funds for city-owned rental properties. Departmental updates touched on staffing in the police and fire departments, infrastructure concerns, and trail planning near Route 9. The meeting concluded with community updates, a recap of recent events, and recognition of new city staff.
