Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Dorsey. Commissioner Ferguson said he is in favor of this, but for the record, he is requesting clarification regarding City Manager West’s comments about matching inflation. Commissioner Ferguson asked why our revenue, in Minutes of the Board of Commissioners – September 18, 2018, continued. terms of sales tax and other sources, would not be more of a deciding factor than inflation. City Manager West said he believes it is both. He said we are achieving our major goals, especially for the general fund, and we are over the budget significantly; therefore, this will not really impact the sales tax which is way more than enough to cover the additional here. Commissioner Ferguson said City Manager West mentioned in their conversation about trying to recruit and maintain employees, and he agrees 100%, but he does not know of any major holes in our work force other than our police and fire departments having more of a challenge than he has heard from other departments. Commissioner Ferguson confirmed with City Manager West that this wage increase will raise the starting base pay for police officers and those other positions. Commissioner Ferguson said his understanding is that the Fire Department is having their biggest challenge with medic positions, and he asked Fire Chief Larry Williams if this increase will address that deficiency in his work force. Chief Williams said with all recruitment, whether it be medical or fire and this will be for any department head, with the 3% increase we will see a total shift forward that will help and there is no doubt that any time we increase any type of benefit, it is a recruiting tool we use. Commissioner Ferguson confirmed with Chief Williams that he feels this increase is adequate. Commissioner Ferguson said he has shared this in our work session and he thinks we really need to look at our public safety departments. He said we have seen reports comparing us to Enterprise and Henry County and he does not know that these are valid comparisons, but he wants to see us address our pay for our law enforcement and fire positions, because if we are not safe, nothing else that we do here really matters. Mayor Saliba said he knows pay is always a very sensitive topic to everyone, as this topic is being discussed this morning and we have retirees here with their concerns, and he wants everybody to know that all of the Commission cares genuinely about having good pay and fairly compensating everyone. He said we are also here as elected officials to serve the citizens and make sure we are financially sound as we do it, so know that any decision made regarding this, it is very important and we take our job very seriously. Mayor Saliba asked if a pay study for all positions has been considered. City Manager West said Personnel Director Delvick McKay participated in a pay study and has forwarded that information to the Commission for their review. He asked if this study is sufficient or would the Commission like to go forward with a consultant study. Mayor Saliba said he is not sure how the rest of the Commission feels, but he would like to take the time to continue reviewing that study and then consider whether to move forward. Commissioner Kenward said she feels the information presented was fairly comprehensive in scope and took into account the size of our city. She said it was very relevant information for us to be able to make the decision to say this pay increase is definitely warranted and she believes if we want quality employees, we need to compensate them in that way as well as with the benefits package, etc. She said she did not necessarily feel like we need to retain another company, and maybe after reviewing the study further, the Commission might feel like that information is enough. Mayor Saliba said if anyone else should wish to proceed with a study we will maybe consider it at another time. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mayor Saliba introduced Resolution No. 2018-256 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), amending various accounts in the 2018 Fiscal Year Budget. Commissioner Ferguson moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Kenward. City Manager West said the Commission has approved some of these items and some are grants.

Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Fleming. City Manager West said this is being funded by CDBG money. Planning Director Todd McDonald said the goal is for the consultant to present their recommendation to the Commission in November. Commissioner Ferguson said his understanding is that this study is done to provide to developers interested in investing in affordable housing. Mr. McDonald confirmed and said the study has numerous implementation strategies. Commissioner Ferguson inquired into the reason for the Memorandum of Understanding. Mr. McDonald said the Housing Authority and the City are working jointly to make this a reality, the Housing Authority wants to take the lead on implementing the study, and the City wants to make sure there is a clear understanding of what our respective responsibilities are in that process. Mayor Saliba said he has met with Mr. McDonald, City Manager West, and the Housing Authority and he appreciates the partnership and also expediting it so we can be prepared to continue to move the study along. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mayor Saliba introduced Resolution No. 2018-262 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), entering into an agreement with Time Warner Cable Southeast, LLC to allow Time Warner Cable Southeast, LLC to attach communications cable to City-owned utility poles. Commissioner Kenward moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Crutchfield. Commissioner Kirkland asked if this is something where we can put a little pressure on them to clean up their old poles before we do this contract. Electric Operations Superintendent Chris Phillips said this is our newest standard agreement and it does have a little more teeth for us to enforce them to relocate. Commissioner Crutchfield asked if there is a certain timeframe. Mr. Phillips said it is dependent on the company’s location on the pole but it does give us provisions to enforce some delays and penalties if they do not move accordingly. Mayor Saliba asked is this something citizens report or how is it regulated. Mr. Phillips said typically this process is tracked through Dothan Utilities when they replace or move a pole. Commissioner Crutchfield inquired into the record on poles left out. Mr. Phillips said over 250 old poles have been removed in the last four years, but there are probably still some out there that are well over twenty years old, and they are working on getting those cleaned up.
