About Melbourne KY
Message From the Mayor
My name is Ronnie Walton. I moved to Melbourne in 1984 when I married a Melbourne girl, Darlene Purcell Walton. We raised our daughters and now we’re watching our four grandchildren grow up here also. I currently work at Campbell County schools. I volunteered for Butler Fire Department and my teens and 20s until I moved to Melbourne. I served on the Campbell County Board of Adjustments as a representative for the city of Melbourne. I resigned in 2004 to accept a position as city commissioner for Melbourne. I served from 2004 to 2010 as commissioner and was elected as mayor and served in that position from 2011 to present. I am truly dedicated to our city and have a heart to serve our community.
