I'm Renee Shaw.

Thank you so much for joining us this evening.

This election Day, a petition put an extra question on the ballot and one Kentucky town and Hart counties, Bonneville Community residents were asked if they wanted to dissolve their city government.

It passed by 7 votes.

Our Lauren Rogers has more on what the decision means for the future of the city.

>> The city of Bani Bill.

Population.

262 most the time people are together and help each other has a small town.

Bob's a small town with its own local government, but only for the next couple of weeks, there's sort of a division millet that the number of COVID be in or out and it was voted out a division and decision that have ruffled some feathers.

>> Cousins is my hometown and I love it.

And there's no sense of it going on incorporated.

Mayor Murray Whitlow says supporters of the dissolution more unhappy paying city taxes honestly didn't think that it would go.

But >> I mean, there's a lot of things that affect the decision yesterday.

Both sides today are really day.

>> At the end of the day when they're paying a tax bill to the city tax bill is what are they getting for that for the money for every $100 that you're given county taxes, I can go over to go out with 100 in like 3 service.

>> A new bill city taxes pay for street lights, something that will now be the residents responsibility.

>> The back row.

They're going to be totally dark.

>> It's 6 properties here and the Texans are really small now.

I'm going to be paying.

It ought take the lights.

I'm going to be paying probably in excess of $700 more a year.

>> Despite those concerns, the majority of services including water and sewer will not be interrupted.

The school will not be affected.

The fire department.

That's county fire department.

So it's not tied to the city will not be affected.

And of course, your post officers federal, they'll still be manago Kentuckyian their zip code and mail still get delivered as Manigo Kentucky Park County Judge Executive Joe Cho says Bonnie Bills city streets will not come county roads, a little snow or ice or whatever will be out there providing the same service system on a bill that we do the rest.

Russell County, these are just historical document council members like Kobe Smith now cleaning out city home.

>> If being through the history of their community dating back to the Mid 18, 100's as the building and its assets will now become county property must be the last Myers gavel city upon a hill.

This is a history of on the bill still needs to be kept.

You have whatever money is handed over to us.

We're not gonna spend it.

We don't put it off to the side.

Obviously that probably getting some interest.

The city hall when it's dated us.

>> More than likely we will hold title that I guess the last organization that's very active in Monte Rio is the fire department.

So, you know, they may be a recipient of that.

Judge Choate says there is the possibility of Bonnie Ville becoming incorporated once again.

>> And knowing that, you know, if it's 2 or 3 years, that has that option.

We're going to set everything to the side of you have that time frame.

Give them that opportunity.

At least once.

>> For too nutty that is appealing to those who want to preserve city government.

I'd like to see everybody come back together once again and Aldi, you know, helping each other instead of.

>> And the bees.

For Kentucky edition.

I'm Laura Rogers.

Thank you.

Laura Bonneville was officially incorporated on December.

The 12th 1955.
