COMMISSIONER HITE asked if the additions were of paving entrances to side street private driveways, HWU parking lot. Are the private driveways just repairing what we had to use to complete the project itself? Mr. Newman explained that when we added curb and gutters, we had to go back about 10 feet on each of the private drives and cut them out and tie them all in because we raised the street up.

MR. NEWMAN explained that in your packet we have enclosed pictures of the existing walking trail through Atkinson Park and as you can tell the condition of it is fair to poor. In many places, we had an opportunity by applying for this grant to half of the cost to go in and make the necessary pavement repairs as well as overlay the entire length of the walking trail. The trail was constructed by volunteers about 25 years ago and the only maintenance that I am aware of was some patching as well as, about 10 years ago, they seal coated the river walk. A lot of the problem occurred because of the trees and roots have uprooted the base system. DISCUSSION WAS HELD. VERBATIM DISCUSSION IS ON TAPE OF THIS MEETING The vote was called.

COMMISSIONER DAVIS added a personal comment stating that he grew up in this area and his grandfather was the custodian of Audubon Baptist Church for 30 years so he is very familiar with the neighborhood and the need for this project. He stated that he wanted the people of the East End area to know that we are listening to their needs and hopefully it is going to be a well used project. COMMISSIONER PRUITT agreed “that everybody know that we have been working with different groups on the east end project and when I grew up, most of the time people said that tax payer money never crossed Green Street. I’m really proud that we are going to put this playground in for the kids in the East End. COMMISSIONER HITE said “that this was a part of the City-County Co-Op Study and originally I was hesitant building a park because there was so much more that we could be doing for the East End but I realized that this is as good a place as any to start and she definitely did not want the efforts to stop.” MAYOR AUSTIN appreciates the City-County Cooperative Study working on this particular project and thanks everyone for bringing it forward.

Mr. Newman responded by saying that the total grant is $80,700.00 but half of that will be the City’s match and the in-kind (materials, equipment, land) cost will provide about $36,250.00 of in-kind match. Commissioner Davis continued by saying that he believed that our grant request had to be in the amount of the actual funding that we expect to receive from the state, not what the total project cost was. Mr. Newman agreed that that was a correct statement. Commissioner Davis said “I just want the record to show the correct grant request instead of the project cost and the total would be $80,700.00 including our match and other things.” MR. BUZZY NEWMAN stated that one thing that he would like to say to the group was “we have a short time frame to get this grant into the state and we have to have a public hearing, not only for this grant but for the previous grant that you just approved so we will be having that in the next two weeks. The other thing that we had to do “if there was any other input that the City Commission would like to see, we have got time between now and the time we apply if you all would like to see something different than what is being proposed in this grant request; basically what we are looking for is to fence the entire lot and, of course, we have to put some fill dirt in, fence it, seed it, straw it and we need to put up some lighting and we are providing some benches and trash cans and are going to provide a playground structure with the plastic curbing to go around it and then rubber mulch to go inside of it. We are also putting in money for new concrete sidewalks on the outside of the fence. We’ve looked at the condition of them and they need to be replaced. With all that being said, the sidewalks will be new, the park will be ready to use by the public and another thing that I would recommend that we lay this out and leave a room for future growth for other uses on that site. You can see from the breakdown of the project cost, the breakdown indicates costs of fencing, sidewalks, benches and playground equipment. COMMISSIONER HITE asked what kind of play ground structure was going to be in this park? Mr. Newman replied that he and Emily Gilliam, discussed that on Friday and we really need to get into the book and start looking but we think we can buy a nice structure for that amount of money. Commissioner Hite stated that she definitely wanted an active structure. Mr. Newman agreed to bring samples of playground structure back to the Board if the grant is approved. DISCUSSION WAS HELD.

RUSSELL R. SIGHTS, CITY MANAGER, received a request from Michael and Barbara Hall seeking to be voluntarily annexed into the city. They, too, are one of the residents on Wathen Lane but their request did not get here in time to be added to the others that have been approved. I need to be authorized to send this request to the Planning Commission for the purpose of seeking zoning for the property so then it will come back to the Board for proceeding with the annexation request. MOTION by Commissioner Hite, seconded by Commissioner Davis, to send this request for annexation to the Planning Commission for zoning designation. The vote was called.

I read about one of the House Bills in the House that’s been proposed by one of our representatives and I would just like to say that when it comes to gun laws, the people of the state of Kentucky, we do not need to be registering our guns, paying fees, dealing with fines if we don’t, so I would hope that they would just leave that part alone and let the Constitution and the federal government rule on that.” ____________________________ COMMISSIONER DAVIS said “coming from me, it’s probably going to sound crazy, but we have several board appointments that are almost a year old.” Mayor Austin responded that these have to do with the Parks Board and the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Parks & Recreation Director, are putting together....the Parks Board has had an attendance problem, a quorum problem, a meeting problem and a direction problem and I will send each of the Board members an email next week looking at some possible options that we might do on that and we will move forward pretty quickly.” Commissioner Davis added “GO COLONELS!” ___________________________ COMMISSIONER MILLS added thanks to the Board and everyone else in County Government and City staff that worked on the east end park idea. It’s been a collaborative effort by City and County both. Magistrate Putman was instrumental in getting that project off the ground. He thanks everyone for their support. ___________________________ MAYOR STEVE AUSTIN announced that Henderson Power and Light has secured a new coal contract and they use more than 275,000 tons of coal a year and the new price for coal is about $6 less than the previous contract. That calculates to over $1.8 million dollars in savings and the total savings will be passed along to HMP&L customers through the Fuel Adjustment Clause on their bill. So, in the next 12 month period, there will be more and $1.8 million returned to our citizens on the coal contract that was negotiated by HMP&L.  A Regular February 26, 2013 REAPPOINTMENT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT – CITY MR.
