Where are they on that project: Mount Carmel Pool
MOUNT CARMEL, Ky. (WEHT) — The Mount Carmel Pool has been a staple in the community dating back to 1936. Now almost 90 years later the old pool is being demolished and a new pool is being built. Mayor Joe Judge says a big problem arose last year when the main filter bed imploded causing 35,000 gallons of water to leak a day. 'To keep the pool open last summer, we had to put a lot of chlorine in it at a very high expense and the state came in and said we would not be able to reopen in 2025, unless we made all the improvements they had been talking about,' said Judge. Those improvements include fixing electrical problems, becoming ADA compliant, upgrades to the chemical room, and everything else that had to be brought up to code. The city council took a vote making the decision that it would be in the best interest of the taxpayers to build a new pool. 'We told the engineering company we wanted something you know, iconic to replace the pool that we have and they've come up with something that we think will be a hit with not only our community, but with other communities in the area,' said Judge. While the final renderings have not been released, Mayor Judge says the new facility will have aquatic features not seen in the area. 'It'll have the six swim lanes for competition swim,' said Judge. 'It will have several aquatic features that no other pool in the area has, which we're pretty excited about…and you know, one of the big things everybody loves about you know, our iconic pool that we have, is the beach. You know, being able it's a bowl style and we will still have that functionality with the new pool.' Contractors arrived on site today and the entire process should only take up to 2025 days.

Elsmere city councilwoman resigns after alleged misconduct and missed meetings
Hours before her fate as a council member was set to be determined at a June 4 meeting, an Elsmere city councilwoman resigned from her position effective immediately, according to an email sent to The Enquirer and other city council members. Serena Owen, who was serving her second term on Elsmere's city council submitted her letter of resignation after months during which she was accused of misconduct and missed meetings. "I am writing to formally submit my resignation from my position as a Councilwoman for the City of Elsmere, effective immediately," Owen wrote. "This decision has not been made lightly but is necessitated by the escalating challenges that have profoundly impacted my ability to serve effectively and safely," Owen said her resignation comes as a result of her fear of being shot at a public meeting by a man she claims has harassed her online, and her "repeated and justified requests for a minimal inexpensive ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) hybrid video teleconference accommodation to attend council meetings virtually (free Zoom/Teams link)" being dismissed. In March, the six-member Elsmere City Council unanimously voted to begin proceedings to remove Owen from office. Since then, they've announced seven charges against her including willful negligence and misconduct. A public meeting was set to be held June 4 from 6-7 p.m. to discuss the removal of Owen from her position on the council. The Enquirer reached out to the City of Elsmere's city clerk Katie Hehman, who declined to confirm the resignation.
