Due to the forecast of a 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms on October 31, 2018. The City of Fulton is recommending that organizations and residents observe “Trick or Treat” and other outdoor activities on October 30, 2018. The City feels that this is the best option for a successful turnout and the safety and enjoyment of all.

Events below have already been rescheduled:

First Baptist Church

“Due to heavy rains forecast for Wednesday Oct. 31, the residents of Third Street have decided to do “trick or treating” on Tuesday night, Oct. 30.
Because of the bad weather on Wednesday and the incredibly large number of families and children who come to Third Street for “trick or treating”, the recreation committee has decided to move the FBC Fall Festival to Tues. evening, Oct. 30 from 6-8pm. All activities will be inside the FBC Family Life Center”

Third Street Community (Reprinted from the Current News)

The neighborhood of Fulton’s Third Street residents will continue their annual Halloween trick-or-treating event, however because of a threat of bad weather, Third Street resident Darcy Linn said after consulting with several Third Street neighborhood residents, it was decided they would change their event to Tuesday night from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The street will be blocked during those hours for those who plan to trick-or -treat on Third Street.
No official change in the observance of Halloween has been made in the City of Fulton in its entirety.

We will have independent contractor crews working on the trip hazards on the sidewalks along Third, Second, Pearl & North College. This was originally going to happen this week but has been delayed by the contractor. They are going to begin on Third Street Monday October 29 and will be completed with all repairs by Tuesday October 30. Just in time for the trick or treating.

Some exciting news from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office!
Starting October 24th, we will have an office open every Wednesday at Fulton City Hall. We will be open from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. You will be able to pay property taxes at this office.
We are very excited to be opening an office to better serve the citizens of Fulton County!
-Sheriff Derek Goodson

Notice of Public Hearing

Proposed Tax Rates for 2018-2019 Fiscal Year

Pursuant to KRS 132.027, The City of Fulton Commission will hold a public hearing on September 24, 2018 at 5:30 pm. The meeting will be held at 101 Nelson Tripp Place at Fulton City Hall for the purpose of hearing comments from the public regarding the institution of the proposed tax rates for the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

The City of Fulton proposes to exceed the compensating tax rate by levying a real property tax rate of .2980 (per $100 of assessed value) and a personal property tax rate of 0.3916 (per $100 of assessed value).  This represents a 4% increase from the Compensating Rate.

The tax rate will increase from .2780 per $100 of assessed value to .2980 per $100 of assessed value on all Real Property for an increased revenue amount  of $9,695 and from .3009 per $100 of assessed value to 0.3916 per $100 of assessed value on all Personal Property for an increase revenue amount of $12,961. If the

new rates are enacted, revenue to the city will increase approximately $22,656.    

The additional revenue generated will be utilized in the General Fund for governmental purposes. All persons desiring to present their views (either oral or written) on the proposed rates and fees shall be heard.
