City Council - Edgewood, KY

Jeff currently works as vice president and part owner of Swan Floral & Gift Shop, a family business in Elsmere, Kentucky.

During the 25 years I have been on council, I have been instrumental in expanding our police force, enlarging our fire Department, building new facilities, bolstering our parks, improving almost every street in Edgewood and adding many sidewalks. All this has been done while lowering the property taxes in Edgewood to the lowest rate in years. I have always stuck to my motto of “Lower Taxes and Better Services” throughout my time on Council.

2026 Kentucky General Election

QUESTION (for incumbents): What projects would you like to see accomplished while you are on council/Commission?

Jeff Schreiver: This next term, I will be working to add further educational and recreational items to our parks including a children’s educational center. One of my goals this term is to have a development plan in place for Charter Oak Rd. Although our construction focus for the next two years will be Dudley Rd, I would like to have a plan in place for Charter Oak after this is completed. This would be done not only with the city input but in conjunction with the residents that live there.

Jeff Schreiver: I have been instrumental in bringing to our city many projects throughout my time on city council including in this past term, the new playground at Presidents Park, Wi-Fi in both parks, the new band shelter and the rebranding of all of the city’s signage with the new logo. The project that I am most proud of though in my time on city council is the purchase and development of six acres in Presidents Park.
I was heavily involved in every aspect of the new White House Event Center including exterior and interior design and the furniture and display items that are seen. This has been one of the greatest assets added to the city in a few years.

Public Services

Jeff Schreiver: One of the main issues facing our city is the constant threat of developers trying to change our community. Edgewood has historically been a bedroom community with great parks, schools and families. Development and zoning has to be looked at carefully so that we do not change things on the whim of a developer that wants to bring the next new thing to our community. Another issue that we face will be the balance of money in our financial reserves and when it is time to say no more taxes.

I have always stuck to my motto of “Lower Taxes and Better Services” throughout my time on Council.

I will not vote for any new taxes and will continue to vote for responsible zoning to keep Edgewood a residential community. It makes me proud to say that all this hard work has earned Edgewood the ranking of Number One city in the state of Ky!

Transportation & Infrastructure

EDGEWOOD

The city of Edgewood will hold a special meeting for discussion of the intersection of Charter Oak and Tupman on August 27 at 6:30 p.m. Engineers will be at the meeting with renderings, but council members were a little upset that they would only see the drawings on the 27th and would not have a preview.

Mayor John Link explained that this is all the school and the school board, they are running it, and the school is responsible for buying the store that residents have complained about losing, not the city.

Council passed the second reading of an ordinance prohibiting all cannabis businesses within the city. Council members Jeff Schreiver and Dr. Spille voted against the ordinance, but five members voted for it so it passed.

I will never vote for a new tax in our city. I do not believe it is necessary and will always work for our city to be financially responsible while maintaining the high level of services including police, fire, streets and recreation that Edgewood has always provided.
