Corbin Mayor Suzie Razmus informed the Corbin City Commission during its monthly meeting Monday that she recently got a phone call from a 90-year-old woman about Corbin\u2019s feral cat problem. She noted that the cats got under the woman\u2019s home and did about $500 worth of damage. \u201cIt is really getting out of control,\u201d Razmus noted. City Attorney Bob Hammons suggested contacting Whitley County Animal Control Officer T.J. Centers. Aside from that, no one present offered any suggestions. Also, during Monday\u2019s meeting, the commission received updates on a pair of $10,000 grant applications, one of which was successful. The city was seeking funding allocated by the Kentucky General Assembly last year in House Bill 9. The bill is designed to help small coal impacted communities with matching funds when they apply for federal grants. There are about 20 eastern Kentucky counties and 20 western Kentucky counties eligible for funding through the bill. Corbin Parks and Recreation Director Jacob Roan announced that the city was successful in getting a $10,000 grant to develop a strategic plan for the Corbin Parks and Recreation Department. Roan noted that in April, there will be a town hall meeting to get community input on the master plan. Corbin Tourism Director Maggy Monhollen informed the commission that the city\u2019s grant application to do a feasibility study on the proposed Colonel Sanders Story: A Finger Lickin\u2019 Good musical was not successful. She said that there is still hope that the city can get grant funding for the feasibility study. Monhollen said that she has a lead on a $10,000 National Endowment of the Arts Grant, which could be used to help pay for the feasibility study. \u201cWe are still chasing every monetary avenue that exists,\u201d she added."}
