Holly Lewis, representing the Office of U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, presented the City of Bowling Green with a letter from Senator McConnell, which was read into the record as follows: Dear Citizens of Bowling Green, Congratulations as you celebrate the Bicentennial of the City of Bowling Green. Settled by America’s earliest pioneers in the late 18th century and named after Bowling Green Square in New York City, Bowling Green was incorporated in 1812. Over the last two centuries, the people of Bowling Green have upheld the rich traditions and legacy of those pioneers and exemplified the very best of what Kentucky has to offer. You have kept Kentucky’s history alive and you represent our future. My best wishes for a successful and happy Bicentennial celebration. Sincerely, Mitch McConnell United States Senate Mayor Wilkerson also commented about a delegation from the sister city of Kawanishi, Japan who recently visited (October 11th-14th) and had presented Bowling Green with several gifts that were displayed in the Commission Chamber.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Field Supervisor Juan Pena of the Kentucky Human Rights Commission outlined a recommendation of the Kentucky Fair Housing Task Force which recently met in Bowling Green. He indicated that the Task Force was established to help identify impediments to fair housing and was encouraging local governments across the state to pass the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA). Mr. Pena also reported the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) added LGBTs (lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders) to housing rules increasing protection against housing discrimination based on sexual orientation. Kyle Chafin with Lexington Fair Housing Council, a private non-profit entity that investigates housing complaints throughout the Commonwealth, also encouraged the passage of URLTA because it provides detailed policies and procedures of responsibilities on both the landlord and the tenant. Dana Beasley-Brown, a member of Kentuckians for the Commonwealth (a state-wide grassroots community organization) and a resident of Bowling Green, illustrated the need for URLTA by giving an example of a disabled mother on a fixed income who recently received notice of eviction and was only given 10 days to vacate from her apartment, which was not adequate time to be able to find other housing. Ms. Brown thanked the Task Force for its work and recommendations to help address discrimination in fair housing. Mayor Wilkerson suggested the use of the Bowling Green Human Rights Commission to assist with working through such fair housing issues. He explained that if determined to be important enough to do so, a member of the Human Rights Commission could contact one of the elected officials to request sponsorship of an item to be placed on an agenda for consideration by the Board of Commissioners.

BG2012 – 39 (First Reading) ORDINANCE REZONING REAL ESTATE ORDINANCE REZONING A TRACT OF LAND CONTAINING 1.56 ACRES FROM RM-3 (MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) TO GB (GENERAL BUSINESS) LOCATED AT 603 OLD MORGANTOWN ROAD, PRESENTLY OWNED BY PSM ENTERPRISES, LTD WITH REDO SALKIC AS CONTRACT VENDEE Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2012 - 39 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Hill and seconded by Waltrip for first reading of said Ordinance. Comm. Nash expressed concern about the location of this zone change and the proposed use of the lot as a grocery store being in the middle of an older residential neighborhood. City- County Planning Commission Director Steve Hunter explained that the area was a mix of zoning types which was permitted under the old Comprehensive Plan provided it was considered compatible. In addition, he pointed out that the actual land use map identified other uses. Mr. Hunter reported that the zoning applicant met all 17 policies in question and the Planning Commission felt it was incompliance with the 1990 Comprehensive Plan (this application was filed and considered under the old version). However, he noted that moving forward under the new Comprehensive Plan which took effect September 2012, zoning changes would be determined based on the Future Land Use Map. Comm. Waltrip inquired about the operating and delivery hours for the business and whether or not those could be set by binding element. Mr. Hunter responded that there was discussion about the hours of operation at the public hearing but there was no commitment made by the applicant to set the hours. Comm. Waltrip expressed concern about the lack of commitment. City Attorney Gene Harmon advised that if a majority of the Board of Commissioners did not support the recommended rezoning, then the Board would have to reject the zone change by making its own independent findings of fact and conclusions which were different from the Planning Commission’s determination. He suggested that the ordinance could be tabled to allow the parties involved time to speak at the next Board meeting to address the voiced concerns. Mr. Hunter commented that he would be glad to speak to the applicant about the possibility of adding provisions to the binding elements or to consider withdrawing the case and re-filing under the new Comprehensive Plan. 9 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-October 16, 2012) On behalf of a requesting citizen, Comm. Waltrip asked that the Planning Commission start providing the names of all the principals involved in a zoning case when the applicant is listed under a company name. Mr. Hunter agreed to provide the information in more detail and would consider tweaking the application form to make it easier. Following further discussion to clarify the issues, a motion was made by Nash, seconded by Waltrip, to table Ordinance No. BG2012 – 39 until the next meeting of the Board of Commissioners in an effort to request the applicant to consider additional provisions to the binding elements which would alleviate some concerns about the encroachment of a commercial development into a residential area. Once the discussion concluded, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Hill, Nash and Waltrip Voting Nay: Wilkerson Motion to table first reading of Ordinance No. BG2012 - 39 until the November 20th meeting of the Board of Commissioners was approved by majority vote. ADJOURNMENT Once all discussion concluded in closed session and there being no further business to come before the Board of Commissioners, at approximately 8:20 p.m., Mayor Wilkerson declared this meeting adjourned. WORK SESSION Prior to the regular meeting and with no action taken, the Board of Commissioners, excluding Commissioner Joe W. Denning, convened at 4:00 p.m. in the Commission Chamber of City Hall for a regular work session to discuss the following subjects: 1) presentation and update relating to the City of Bowling Green Language Access Plan; and 2) the City’s Nuisance Wildlife Policy written in draft format.
