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. 5 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-June 17, 2014) In response to a question from Commissioner Denning about where Ragland Way appeared on the list, City Engineer Melissa Cansler replied she would have to follow-up the next day with more detailed information.

Motion was made by Waltrip and seconded by Williams for consideration of said Municipal Order. DeFebbo explained the ability to use the state bidding process to apply competition and to use several local businesses to meet the needs of the City.

ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Waltrip, Williams, Denning and Wilkerson Voting Nay: None 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. 7 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-June 17, 2014) ORDINANCE NO. BG2014 – 17 (First Reading) ORDINANCE RELATING TO BUDGET AMENDMENT ORDINANCE APPROVING AMENDMENT NUMBER FOUR TO THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014 Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2014 - 17 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Waltrip and seconded by Williams for first reading of said Ordinance. DeFebbo remarked that the key to budgeting was to make sure you did not spend more money than you had coming in. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Meisel summarized the proposed amendments, including the recommendation to move excess revenues received during the year and captured under spending to various capital project funds for future needs.

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.
