Civicpulse Program
Louisville spends over $1 billion a year. Most residents never see where it goes.
CFN's CivicPulse program tracks what Metro Council is doing — legislation, meetings, budget decisions, and neighborhood funding — and makes it legible for the people whose lives it shapes. Not insiders. Not lobbyists. Neighbors.

The decisions that shape your neighborhood, in one place.
Every week, Metro Council introduces legislation, schedules meetings, and moves money. Most of it happens in public — but the agenda is 40 pages long and the meeting starts at 6pm on a Thursday. CivicPulse cuts through the noise. We track three things:
- Legislation — ordinances, resolutions, zoning cases, appointments, and funding allocations as they move through the council process.
- Meetings — full council sessions, committee hearings, and boards and commissions, with dates, times, and agendas.
- The Budget
— where Louisville's $1 billion goes, which neighborhoods see investment, and what the numbers reveal about priorities.
OUR MONEY. OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
Introducing CivicPulse’s budget accountability effort, helping Louisville residents understand where public dollars go, which neighborhoods see investment, and what the city’s spending choices reveal about its priorities.
We turn complex budget documents, council amendments, department allocations, and neighborhood funding decisions into clear, usable information so residents can follow the money, ask better questions, and push for investment that reflects the needs of their communities.

WHY IT MATTERS
CivicPulse makes public decisions easier to see, understand, and act on before they become a done deal. When neighbors can follow the money, the meetings, and the legislation shaping their lives, they are better equipped to ask the right questions and hold City Hall accountable.
