The City of Columbia met in regular session on Monday, May 4, 2026, in City Hall.
  • Mary Ann Loy gave an update on the Trabue Russell House. The Trabue Russell House will be receiving $184,000 from the State of Kentucky (through county) effective for the July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027 budget.
  • In addition, the City will receive funding of approximate $800,000 for the Rice Drive drainage project and close to $400,000 for the Burkesville Loop updates.
