 Pikeville submitted a request for funding to help offset the cost of employee handbooks and training provided by Kentucky League of Cities Personnel Services and was recently presented with a liability grant. The goal of the grant is to ensure that cities have the training and equipment necessary to reduce liability and improve the safety of their employees and the community as a whole. These grants can help pay for anything from police body cameras to safer playground equipment, but in this case, the city will be putting the money towards training employees of the city. The money awarded to the city will help towards ensuring the safety of Pikeville residents and the overall functionality of the local government. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelcey Fidell.
