BG2015 – 18 (First Reading) ORDINANCE AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 11 (FINANCE, TAXATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) OF THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN CODE OF ORDINANCES TO ADD A NEW SUBCHAPTER RELATED TO THE CREATION OF AN ENERGY PROJECT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (EPAD) Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2015 - 18 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Hill and seconded by Williams for first reading of said Ordinance. DeFebbo indicated this was a new opportunity to collaborate with the private sector to use property assessments to help pay for energy improvements made to the same property. Former Secretary for the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet and former Kentucky State Treasurer Jonathan Miller, attorney with Frost Brown Todd Law Firm, explained Kentucky was the 32nd state to adopt the provisions to allow repayment of a loan for energy efficiency improvements made to private property through a property tax assessment and was similar to energy savings performance contracts for the public sector. He emphasized the establishment of an assessment would be voluntary by the property owner and would stay with that property until the loan was paid. He also emphasized the City would simply be a conduit for loan repayment, but not be on the hook to repay the loan if the 2 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-June 2, 2015) property owner defaulted in any way. Mr. Miller commented Bowling Green would be the first city in Kentucky to establish an EPAD district and adopt the provisions of state law. City Attorney Gene Harmon disclosed any property assessments would be recorded in the County Clerk’s office and would be searchable with property deeds to make any potential future buyer of the property aware of the assessment. Mayor Wilkerson confirmed there were no new taxes involved with this action and it was the choice of the property owner to request and accept the assessment. Once the discussion ended, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Hill, Parrigin, Williams, Denning and Wilkerson Voting Nay: None First reading of Ordinance No. BG2015 - 18 was approved by unanimous vote.
