ORDINANCE RELATED TO WKU GATEWAY TO DOWNTOWN BOWLING GREEN TIF
DEVELOPMENT AREA
ORDINANCE APPROVING AMENDED AND RESTATED LOCAL
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #3 AND AMENDED AND
RESTATED MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT #2
RELATED TO THE WKU GATEWAY TO DOWNTOWN BOWLING
GREEN DEVELOPMENT AREA
Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2012 - 11 was read by the Assistant City
Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Nash and seconded by Hill for second reading of said
Ordinance. Attorney David Lanphear, local counsel for Downtown Redevelopment Authority, Inc.
(DRA) and on behalf of Attorney Nader Baydoun (out of town counsel), requested that the ordinance
be tabled to allow time for them to look at the revised Master Development Agreement (MDA). He
stated that he thought there were some changes that did not serve the best interests of DRA or the
taxpayers. Mr. Lanphear responded to questions about waiting until this meeting to bring these issues
forward and bringing them directly to the Board of Commissioners as the policy makers instead of
approaching the City Attorney and staff in advance of the meeting. Among other issues such as the
expansion of the district and the Master Developer’s compensation, Mr. Lanphear indicated that
numerous changes to the MDA deleted obligations of the Master Developer to bring $2 million of
private development in relation to DRA’s building at 601 State Street. He urged the Board to wait on
approving the agreement for another two weeks, which would allow time for Mr. Baydoun to prepare an
appropriate retort to protect DRA.

(Minutes-Board of Commissioners-May 1, 2012)
In response to some of the issues that Mr. Lanphear brought forward, Mayor Wilkerson stated
that several of the changes to both agreements were discussed at the April 17th work session. He
reiterated that many of the changes in the MDA related to actions already taken by the Board, including
the expansion of the district in 2008 and compensation to the Master Developer.
Downtown Redevelopment Authority Executive Director Ron Murphy responded to questions
about not being able to meet with Mr. Baydoun before tonight and for not speaking up at the April 17th
meeting when the ordinance was brought up for first reading. With Mr. Baydoun involved with a trial
and unable to attend this meeting, Mr. Murphy requested that the Board table the issue to allow more
time for DRA to study the changes.
At the request of Comm. Denning, Attorney Kevin Brooks, representing Warren County
Downtown Economic Development Authority (Authority), explained there was no direct relationship
between the Authority and DRA, nor was DRA a party to or beneficiary of the MDA. He
summarized that the changes being proposed made clear those things that should already be clear
based on past decisions and actions already taken by the Authority, City and Warren County.
Essentially, he believed that the changes simply memorialized the facts as they already are. Mr.
Brooks also reiterated that making improvements to 601 State Street was predicated on borrowing
money which has not been able to be done.
City Attorney Gene Harmon advised that all parties to the agreement understood the expansion
and its impact on the Master Developer compensation agreement. He also concurred with Mr. Brooks
that it was the Authority’s intent to issue TIF bonds which would have provided the funds to make
improvements to DRA’s building if such financing became available.
There was continued discussion about the request to table the item and the inability of DRA and
its attorneys to have enough time to gather information and review it prior to tonight. Comm. Denning
made a motion to tabled Ordinance No. BG2012 - 11 to provide all involved more time to review the
materials. The motion was seconded by Waltrip, and a roll call vote was taken.
ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Hill, Waltrip and Wilkerson
Voting Nay: Nash
Motion to table Ordinance No. BG2012 - 11 was approved by majority vote. Following the
vote, there was discussion about when the item should be brought back for continued discussion. Mr.
Lanphear referred to a letter from Mr. Baydoun which requested the item be tabled until the June 5th
meeting of the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Brooks indicated that approval of the MDA was needed
to predicate other actions for the Block 6 development. He suggested that the item could be tabled
again at the May 15th meeting if more time was needed. The Board agreed that the ordinance would
be brought back for discussion May 15th.

locked in prices for the duration of the contract. She also explained the contract required that the
auditing staff be rotated to avoid complacency. Comm. Nash indicated that he would like to see a
6

new firm every five years to ensure that the process stays fresh. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Meisel
clarified that the selection of a firm was based on an evaluated bid and not just based on lowest price.

before, but rather consider their experience in government auditing and other evaluated criteria.
