DENNING TO THE BOWLING GREEN- WARREN COUNTY MOBILE RADIO COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE, AND THE APPOINTMENT TO THE BOWLING GREEN-WARREN COUNTY LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE Summary of Municipal Order No. 2011 - 2 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Nash and seconded by Waltrip for consideration of said Municipal Order. Comm. Denning commented that he has had concerns for several years about members of the Board of Commissioners being appointed to various boards throughout the community, being put in a position to serve two masters at the same time, and any potential problems with conflicts of interest. He suggested that unless it was mandated by law, there should not be any appointments of elected officials. Comm. Denning requested that staff take the necessary steps to remove the requirements for appointments of any of the Board of Commissioners members from these community boards as soon as possible. Mayor Walker noted that this body had discussed the various boards in the past and staff had done some work to try and consolidate some of the boards. With this being the start of a new term of office for the Commissioners, she explained that the first meeting of January generally contained these appointments following the expiration of the previous terms on December 31st . She requested that the Board proceed with these recommended appointments on a temporary basis in order to avoid placing any of the community boards in a position of not having adequate membership until any changes could be identified and approved. This would also allow staff time to review the requirements for each board and prepare amendments to ordinances, if necessary, to bring back for consideration. She suggested that if there was a simple request by the organizations bylaws than the Board could discuss its membership with that particular organization and if an organization would like an elected official to serve it would have the ability to request a specific member but it would not have to be an official act of the Board of Commissioners. City Attorney Gene Harmon stated that the Board of Commissioners may need to discuss this issue further. He agreed that any City ordinance could be amended to remove memberships, although a few of the boards were set up by interlocal cooperation agreement or were joint ordinances which may require discussion with Warren County Fiscal Court as well. He voiced concerns with staff taking the lead on this issue and advised that the Board needed to provide more specific direction regarding which ordinances it wanted to revise. For instance, he remarked that by statute, the City could appoint the City Manager to serve on the BGMU Board instead of an elected official. Mayor Walker remarked that if an organization wanted a member of this body on its board, it would be the organization’s prerogative to invite a particular elected official to serve and that elected official would have the ability to say yes or no. City Manager DeFebbo indicated that this issue could be discussed further at the Board’s annual retreat (Strategic Goal Planning Session). If there was no objection to addressing the issue at the retreat, Mayor Walker urged the Board to move forward with these appointments tonight which currently required official action. 3 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-January 4, 2011) Comm. Wilkerson commented about his participation on these boards, his willingness to listen to people’s opinions and the influence that elected officials may inadvertently impose. He would prefer not to be the “eight hundred pound guerilla in the room” and was willing to step back regardless of whether by ordinance or by invitation. He further stated, that if by invitation, it was less of an imposition on that group, and he encouraged the Board to look at it from that stand point. As discussion continued, Mayor Walker recommended that the Board proceed with consideration of these appointments on tonight’s agenda since many of the boards meet regularly and to allow time for the organizations to respond to these proposed changes. She commented that the Board could discuss this issue further at its upcoming retreat as previously suggested and recommendations could be brought for formal action at a later date. Mr. Harmon reiterated that he would prefer that any specific changes be recommended by the Board of Commissioners instead of by staff members. He agreed that staff could provide detailed information regarding the membership requirements and the available options to make changes. Comm. Denning stated that he did not want this matter to be interpreted as negative toward any organization. He specified that these changes would give more of an opportunity for other citizens to be appointed, in place of the elected officials, to lend their expertise and have the ability to serve. Following a clarification about what the Board members were being asked to approve tonight, a roll call vote was taken.

Wilkerson regarding the purpose of some binding elements that simply reiterate the minimum standards of existing ordinance requirements, such as the landscape ordinance. Mr. Hunter remarked that although redundant, in some cases these binding elements provide assurances to neighborhoods that a developer will meet minimum requirements and/or meet certain standards that were in place at a particular point in time. He acknowledged that the Planning Commission would do a better job of policing those redundancies in the future. Mr. Hunter also responded to questions from Comm. Nash about the truck traffic discussion which took place during the public hearing and some amendments made to binding elements following a brief recess. He clarified that the rezoning applicant did not make any specific commitment on the truck traffic issue. Comm.

BG2011 – 3 (First Reading) ORDINANCE RELATING TO BUDGET AMENDMENT ORDINANCE APPROVING AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011 Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2011 - 3 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Denning and seconded by Waltrip for first reading of said Ordinance. Mayor Walker explained this was an amendment to restore two items (membership in the US Conference of Mayors and general travel funds) in the legislative budget to their original funding levels as recommended during the budget process. Comm. Wilkerson commented that when he reviewed this item, he looked back to all the details in the previous budget discussions. He agreed that the proposed budget amendment was perfectly proper, but that it was outside the routine of the types of amendments the Board normally considered. Although, he was unimpressed with the US Conference of Mayors’ (USCM) organization and its activities, he admitted that others may have a difference of opinion. He explained that his greatest objection to USCM was its involvement in political debates about national and international issues, such as immigration policies or national gun control policies, which had no bearing on this local government. He stated that when the only legally recognized signatory for the City of Bowling Green signs documents in the capacity of that office held, it indicates to many people that the City 8 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-January 4, 2011) officially supports the issue, when it was really just one individual’s opinion. Comm. Wilkerson asserted that he believed the City of Bowling Green should stay out of funding and engaging in those national and international activities which have a divisive nature and partisan debate. However, after listened to Comm. Denning’s and Comm. Waltrip’s opinions from previous discussions, he acknowledged that having access to a level of training and contacts and to some of the programs brought to our community through USCM may be beneficial. Comm. Wilkerson offered to support this budget amendment if there was a commitment made to keep the City’s name out of any issues of national or international concern for which this local government had no authority or control. Mayor Walker indicated she did not believe the USCM was a partisan organization and that its goal was to promote cities and communities, like helping to save CDBG funds for cities and developing the concept of the energy and environmental conservation block grants from which Bowling Green received $585,000. She remarked that USCM helps local governments come together to present a unified face for protecting the interests of all local governments which are affected by the state and national levels. Comm. Wilkerson reiterated that if the City would be able to get funding back to benefit the community than he could agree to support the membership. Comm. Denning commented about the Mayor having the opportunity to be one of the most recognized individuals in local government with involvement in these types of organizations, like USCM and National League of Cities (NLC). He pointed out that this City could not reap the benefits of anything coming to the community if we are not seen, and we cannot be seen if we are not there. He indicated that somewhere along the line good things were going to happen if we have these types of associations. Comm. Waltrip acknowledged that he could not completely discount Comm. Wilkerson’s concerns and that there were a number of issues to which our City did not need to be attached. He stated that he thought the request for a commitment proposed by Comm. Wilkerson was a good compromise. He also agreed that if the City could get funding back that was a good thing. Mayor Walker stated she respected the point made by Comm. Wilkerson. Although USCM did not often take a position about highly divisive issues, Mayor Walker committed that she would not affix her signature to any of those type of issues. If an important issue did arise, she agreed to bring it before the Board of Commissioners for its consideration regarding support. Comm. Nash remarked that in a brief search he could not find any past budget amendment where a Mayor proposed a change to a budget approved by a previous Board of Commissioners’ vote. If approved, he expressed concern that they would be setting a precedent by immediately allowing a more or less favorable Board of Commissioners (based on the changes in elected officials from one term to the next) make amendments to the budget mid-year which could enhance or decrease a department’s funding. He also inquired if there was any conflict with the Mayor sponsoring the item and voting on it if she was the only one to reap the benefits of these funds. City Attorney Gene Harmon opined there was no conflict since the travel funds could be used by any of the elected officials and the membership was for the City not the Mayor individually. There was discussion regarding the current requirements and process for approval of elected official travel expenditures and the possible need to discuss revisions to that process in the future. Additionally, Mayor Walker responded to Comm. Nash’s inquiry and expressed her desire that other 9 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-January 4, 2011) members of the Board get involved with these organizations. Once all discussion ended, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Waltrip, Wilkerson and Walker Voting Nay: Nash First reading of Ordinance No. BG2011 - 3 was approved by majority vote. MUNICIPAL ORDER NO. 2011 – 12 MUNICIPAL ORDER ACCEPTING DONATION FROM BOWLING GREEN EAST LITTLE LEAGUE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PICNIC SHELTER LOCATED AT KEREIAKES PARK Summary of Municipal Order No. 2011 - 12 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Wilkerson and seconded by Waltrip for consideration of said Municipal Order. DeFebbo recommended acceptance of the generous donation to provide funds to purchase the materials to build a shelter for use by the Little Leagues during the ball season and be available for general use during the off season. He thanked Parks Maintenance Manager Gerald Belcher for helping to make this donation possible. Mayor Walker stated this was a great public and private partnership. In response to an inquiry by Comm. Waltrip, Parks and Recreation Director Ernie Gouvas confirmed the entire project would cost in excess of $8,000 (the amount being donated) when considering the labor of approximately 584 hours being provided by Parks staff to build the shelter. Comm. Waltrip also stated this was a great example of a beneficial partnership. Mayor Walker asked for additional discussion, and with none, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Nash, Waltrip, Wilkerson and Walker Voting Nay: None Municipal Order No. 2011 - 12 was approved by unanimous vote.

TO THE GREENWAYS COMMISSION OF BOWLING GREEN AND WARREN COUNTY Summary of Municipal Order No. 2011 - 14 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Wilkerson and seconded by Nash for consideration of said Municipal Order. Mayor Walker thanked Tina Coates who was stepping down after ten years of service on the Greenways Commission. With no additional discussion, a roll call vote was taken. 10 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-January 4, 2011) ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Nash, Waltrip, Wilkerson and Walker Voting Nay: None Municipal Order No. 2011 - 14 was approved by unanimous vote.
