FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014 STREET OVERLAY FROM SCOTTY’S
CONTRACTING & STONE, LLC OF BOWLING GREEN,
KENTUCKY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $900,000
Summary of Municipal Order No. 2014 - 122 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City
Clerk. Motion was made by Waltrip and seconded by Williams for consideration of said Municipal
Order. DeFebbo reviewed and recommended the bid award following negotiations to bring the
amount within budget and to add an auxiliary list of streets. At the Mayor’s request, Public Works
Director Jeff Lashlee described the process by which streets were selected for overlay. He indicated
there was a backlog of streets “in need” of resurfacing and each of those streets was prioritized based
on several factors. Mr. Lashlee also pointed out that more money was added to next year’s budget for
the annual overlay project in an effort to increase the number of locations that could be addressed.
There was additional discussion about how a particular street might meet the threshold to make
it on the list. Mr. Lashlee explained that if a street fell below a 67% threshold it would compete with
other streets at or below the same threshold to make the final list for that particular year’s overlay
project. He also reported that approximately 4.5 miles of right-of-way would be resurfaced under this
contract. Mayor Wilkerson asked if the list of streets proposed for overlay would be posted on the
City’s website. Mr. Lashlee replied it could be added.

Clerk. Motion was made by Waltrip and seconded by Williams for consideration of said Municipal

Municipal Order No. 2014 - 123 was approved by unanimous vote.
MUNICIPAL ORDER NO. 2014 – 124
MUNICIPAL ORDER APPROVING APPROPRIATIONS FOR
VARIOUS CITY CREATED / CONTRACT AGENCIES FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2015
Summary of Municipal Order No. 2014 - 124 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City
Clerk. Motion was made by Waltrip and seconded by Williams for consideration of said Municipal
Order. DeFebbo recounted the proposed amounts for each contract agency that performed certain
services on the City’s behalf were included in the budget recommendation, which was adopted at the
beginning of the meeting. He pointed out the total funding amount for contract agencies was slightly
less for FY2015 compared to the previous year.
At the City Manager’s request and in an effort to address concerns about the payment of
bonuses by some of the agencies, City Attorney Gene Harmon reported that public employees were
not eligible to receive a bonus under state law. He noted that about two-thirds of the agencies would
be subject to that statutory provision and about 45% of the agencies indicated that they gave some sort
of bonus to its employees. Mayor Wilkerson mentioned that he had been going over the Bluegrass
Area Development District audit as a member of another agency board. In referring to that audit, he
detailed that the State Auditor was very clear in his indication that it was not only unconstitutional for
Kentucky public employees to receive bonuses, but that when federal money was generally involved
bonuses were prohibited from being paid. He went on to report that the State Auditor likened it to not
spending all of your programmatic funds in order to save money for your own employees, which was
6
(Minutes-Board of Commissioners-June 17, 2014)
determined to be a conflict of interest. In light of these findings, Mayor Wilkerson recommended the
agency allocations be approved and that the language in the appropriation agreements be revised to
include a provision that bonuses not be awarded to their employees. Mr. Harmon replied it would be
easy enough to add that language. He also pointed out that the Mayor previously requested other
language straight from the CDBG grant documents be added to these agreements prohibiting agencies
from using City funds for political patronage and lobbying and the sort. Mayor Wilkerson
emphasized that he was not accusing any agencies of doing anything wrong; however, now that this
information was known, it was necessary to exercise fiduciary responsibility.
Commissioner Williams requested clarification about whether an agency could use their own
money, excluding City funds, to pay bonuses. Mr. Harmon confirmed that the Kentucky Constitution
specified pubic employees were prohibited from receiving bonuses and should only be paid for work
actually performed. Since not all of the contract agencies were public entities and subject to that
statutory provision, he suggested the Board had the ability to apply a condition on those non-public
entities that if they choose to participate in City funding, they could not provide bonuses to their
employees. Mayor Wilkerson said he thought all the agencies should be treated the same.
Following clarification of the proper protocol, Mr. Harmon recommended that a formal motion
be considered regarding the proposed revisions to the contract language. He noted it would not
specifically amend the contents of Municipal Order No. 2014 - 124, but would provide for the
amendment of the standard appropriation agreement for the City created / contract agencies and
establish a new policy to prohibit the paying of bonuses. Motion was made by Wilkerson and
seconded by Denning to direct the City Attorney and City Clerk to amend the contract language to
address the bonus provision and other prohibited activities as discussed and as it related to the
appropriation agreements approved by Municipal Order No. 2014 – 124.
City-County Planning Commission Director Steve Hunter requested clarification regarding
whether an agency could give more than the cost of living adjustment provided by the Department of
Local Government (DLG). Mr. Harmon confirmed that actual budgeted compensation would not be
considered a bonus. Community Action of Southern Kentucky Executive Director Cheryl Allen
explained that they had just implemented a new policy which provided an additional $100 - $150 to
employees based on their performance evaluations. She expressed concern that the provision
regarding bonuses would prevent their ability to follow through with that policy. Acknowledging that
City and federal funds would not be used to make the payments, she asked the Board to consider
giving the agencies a year to figure out how they needed to proceed. Ms. Allen indicated that she
would also seek further clarification from State officials about the ability for Community Action to
implement its new policy. Once the discussion ended, a roll call vote was taken on the motion to
amend the appropriation agreements.
ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Waltrip, Williams, Denning and Wilkerson
Voting Nay: None
Motion to amend the language in the appropriation agreements for City created / contract
agencies funded by Municipal Order No. 2014 - 124 was approved by unanimous vote. With no
further discussion, a roll call vote was taken to approve Municipal Order No. 2014 – 124 with the
amendment to the appropriation agreements.
ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Waltrip, Williams, Denning and Wilkerson
Voting Nay: None
Municipal Order No. 2014 - 124 was approved by unanimous vote.

Summary of Municipal Order No. 2014 - 125 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City
Clerk. Motion was made by Waltrip and seconded by Williams for consideration of said Municipal
Order. DeFebbo reported this item was discussed during the Board’s January retreat and gave credit
to Human Resources Director and Convention Center CEO Mike Grubbs for coming up with a
creative way to help the City now and support the CCC in the future. Mr. Grubbs reviewed the
proposal to share $300,000 of the Hartland Taxing District revenues collected each year for the next
five years with the City to help pay for Parks and Recreation Department improvement projects. And
in exchange, he specified that the City would repay the funds back to the CCC at a rate of $100,000 a
year for 15 years after the taxing district ends in 2020. Mr. Grubbs reported that the CCC Board of
Directors approved the proposal at its meeting earlier in the day. He also noted that the first $300,000
would be used for the West End Soccer Field Project included in the FY2015 budget. Commissioner
Williams thanked Mr. Grubbs for his creative thinking, and agreed this was a great opportunity to
share revenues and benefit the community. Commissioner Waltrip also agreed and remarked about
the membership of the CCC. With no more discussion, a roll call vote was taken.
