PRESENTATION:
REVISED KYTC PRIORITIZATION – UNSCHEDULED NEEDS PROJECT
LIST
Mr. Brad Mills, Public Works Director, explained that staff recommendations
were presented at the May 21, 2013, Work Session, however, several questions arose
upon review by the Evansville Metropolitan Planning Organization (EMPO), our
transportation planning organization. EMPO staff then contact KYTC and it was
determined that the list had projects that were already into the planning stage and should
no longer be listed.
Mr. Russell R. Sights, City Manager, recognized that this has been a little more
hectic than usual. He continued by saying that Mr. Mills has done a great job of cross
matching and mixing them up to come up with overall rankings and I applaud his efforts.
Motion by Commissioner Pruitt, seconded by Commissioner Hite, to approve the
revised prioritization.

____________________________
RESOLUTION NO. 63-13
RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH NORTHWEST
KENTUCKY FORWARD ALLOCATING $60,000 FOR ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING MAYOR TO EXECUTE
AGREEMENT
Motion by Commissioner Pruitt, seconded by Commissioner Mills, to adopt the
resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with the Northwest Kentucky
Forward (NWKF) for economic development services in the amount of $60.000, split
80% General Fund and 20% Gas Fund.
Commissioner Pruitt said “There has been a lot of grapevine talk about Northwest
Kentucky Forward and the Chamber merging and I’m not comfortable with taking
$60,000 and having it merged with an organization that has a political slant. I need to
know more about that, if they are going to merge and how is it going to work and what’s
going on before we authorize that the money be given to Northwest Kentucky Forward
and they go ahead on the merge with the Chamber because we don’t have the
authorization or power to stop them from merging.” Mayor Austin agreed that we don’t
have the authority to stop them from merging but we do have the power to do is to get a
commitment from them that monies will not be comingled. Commissioner Pruitt
continued “I heard the monies won’t be comingled, then to me, I need to know exactly
why and what is the benefit of the merging, when I think of a merger, I think of people
coming together to become as one. If you are not going to merge money and you are just
going to try to get on the same agenda, I think they can do that another way. Maybe
having once a month meetings with each other saying this is what we are looking at and
where are you guys looking at, hopefully we can get on the same track without becoming
a merger. I don’t think there needs to be any official paper writing merger if you are just
A Regular June 25, 2013
trying to get on the same track. If you are going to keep your board separate and keep
your money separate, then that’s not a merger to me. I would just like to know more
from Brad before and at least up to September 1, 2013, before we authorize this.”
Mayor Austin asked Commissioner Pruitt if he was making a motion to amend the
resolution to delay the funding until September 1, 2013.
Motion by Commissioner Pruitt to amend the resolution to delay this funding until
September 1, 2013.
Mayor Austin declared the motion failed for lack of a second.
_________________________
Commissioner Hite agreed that it would not hurt to meet with those involved and
find out more about their motivations for merging; like how it will benefit them and how
it will benefit the City and community. She stated that she was not necessarily offering a
motion to amend but maybe we could get started on having these conversations.
Commissioner Davis asked if they didn’t have a reorganization committee
working on the merger status right now. Mayor agreed that they have a reorganization
committee working on the merger and both boards have to approve that merger. The
main thing that may be worrisome to some is that will the funding or our $60,000 go to
the Chamber and he said that he was confident that it won’t. If this passes tonight then I
will ask if and when those groups do merge or if they do, I’m sure that both boards have
to approve that then I will ask them for an official letter from Northwest Kentucky
Forward that the city funding will not be comingled with Chamber funding.
Commissioner Pruitt said “Well, that wouldn’t satisfy me. Comingling and once
the two boards meet and how are we going to know 100% that these two boards’ monies
is not comingled. Are they going to give is a report every time they spend or have a
function who pays for that, where did it come from, did it come out of the Chamber this
and that. The Chamber, to me has a slight political slant, it always has and always will
be. It is CEO top administrative heavy. It doesn’t really take on any labor issues at all
for the laborers. To me, giving $60,000 to an organization that is more administrative
and CEO top heavy driven would be wrong just like it would be wrong giving any labor
board, strictly for labor, $60,000. There is not a merger if you don’t merge finances.
You can still get to the same point without merging. When you merge, you become as
one so why would somebody merge and still be separate? We need to slow down and
have a work session with them that will tell us what they want to do and how they are
going to do it and then let us make a decision whether we want to continue funding that.
Mrs. Dawn Kelsey, City Attorney, asked Commissioner Pruitt if she could
address one of your issues. Under the funding agreement that we have, Northwest
Kentucky Forward is required to provide a copy of the annual review of financial records.
Secondly, the current way that we have the funding agreement that can be revoked with
30 days notice and then the City would have their funds refunded on a pro rata basis.
Commissioner Pruitt responded that “if somebody give over five years $300,000 before
you begin to out merging I think you need to talk to the people that’s helping and paying
a big part of your funding. They should have had a work session with us to make sure
that everything was clear before they went out talking about let’s merge. I don’t think
that Northwest should be talking to a democratic party about merging together. I don’t
think you should talk to republican party about merging together. If they are going to do
anything about merging and we’re footing a big part of that bill they should have came to
the Commission to say that this is what we think we are going to do and where do you
see some downfalls. They are putting the cart before the horse so I think it would be a
great idea for us have Brad talk to us in some kind of work session before all this takes
place. At least let us learn what is going on since we are funding it.
A Regular June 25, 2013
Mayor Austin stated that we have a question before us on approving the resolution
agreement for the funding Northwest Kentucky Forward.

WHEREUPON Mayor Austin declared the Resolution tabled.
CITY MANAGER’S REPORT: Mr. Sights referred to a letter that had appeared
in The Gleaner stating that a citizen had received a citation because he was parked in a
restricted area on the riverfront and he had put his kayak into the river but didn’t have a
trailer attached to his car therefore he got a ticket. That’s the violation for parking on
Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. A current ordinance says that you have to have a vehicle
with a trailer attached in order to park there. In this case, this gentleman did not need a
trailer because he carries it on top of his car but thinks that he should be afforded the
same privilege of other people putting boats in the water. The City Manager has met
with the citizen and indicated that city staff members will explore possible alternatives.

COMMISSIONER’S REPORTS:
Commissioner Pruitt said that “when it comes to Northwest Kentucky Forward
our economic engine, driving for the City of Henderson as I look back over ten years and
we have been paying that annual money, the jury is still out with me whether we have
gotten our money’s worth. I really don’t think we should have another organization
merging with our economic development machine and taking it off focus of where we are
wanting to go compared to where they are wanting to take us.
___________________________
Commissioner Davis said that next Monday Henderson will have one of the
biggest days we have had in quite a long time when we ribbon-cut our riverfront with
Senator McConnell as well as Senator Paul also visiting our community. Come out to the
river walk to join us.

Henderson Water Utility
2013–2014 Budget
Approved by the Water and Sewer Commission on June 3, 2013
Memorandum
Henderson Water Utility
To: Members of the Water and Sewer Commission
From: Bruce Shipley, General Manager
Leason Neel, Chief Financial Officer
Reference: Henderson Water Utility 2013-2014 Proposed Budget
Date: June 3, 2013
This is an Executive Summary of the key points detailed in the Henderson Water Utility 2013-2014
Operating and Capital Budgets.
General:
The Operating Budget includes estimated revenues of $16,896,609. This is a 7.08% increase from
last year and is primarily due to increased consumption by a major industrial customer.
$5 million dollars of additional borrowing is projected in the budget in order to continue
construction of the various long term control plan projects.
Operating expenses are budgeted at $15,397,930 which is a 1.20% increase when compared to last
year. This minor increase is primarily driven by higher costs for fuel, electricity and contractual
services.
Operating Budget:
• Salaries and wages are based upon the 108 employees identified below.
• Overtime is based upon our 2012-13 experience which is up slightly due more emergency
repairs and anticipation of coverage for vacant treatment plant operator positions.
• FICA and Medicare are made up of applicable salaries and overtime at the statutory rates.
• Life Insurance EAP and Cancer Insurance expenses are based on the number of eligible
employees and rates supplied by City directly or through past costs charged.
• Medical Benefits expense is based on the number of eligible employees and the rate per
employee supplied by the City.
• Workers Compensation charges are based upon 2012 - 2013 charges.
• Unemployment Insurance expense is based on 2014 projected rates supplied by the City.
M-1
• Retirement Expense is based upon the required contributions of 18.89% of gross wages for
non-hazardous duty employees. Last year the required contribution was 19.55%.
• Small Equipment and Tools includes all plant equipment and other non-capital equipment
items under $5,000.
• Contractual Services is primarily made up of four components:
o Wastewater sludge disposal
o Building Cleaning Services:
o Misc Consultant Services
o Mowing and maintenance: For all HWU facilities and properties
o Laboratory Services: Includes field sampling, testing, and laboratory analysis
services, as well as annual calibration of all lab equipment to maintain state
certification.
Noticeable increases in some categories compared to last year’s budget:
Fuel: This category is up substantially. It is based upon our annualized cost from this year. We
believe that we under-estimated fuel consumption for current budget year by not including the fuel
costs for our emergency pumps.
Utilities-Electric: This category is up due to anticipated rate increases from Kenergy.
Contractual Services: Our cost for sludge disposal is dramatically higher based upon the current bid
that took effect on May 20th, 2013. This is the source of the increase in this category.
Personnel:
Last year’s personnel budget was made up of (83) full time classified, the General Manager, the
Director of Engineering, 5 W&S Commissioners and 17 seasonal employees, for a total of (107)
budgeted employees.
As a comparison, this year the number of full time employees remains the same, but there is an
increase of (1) additional position in the seasonal category for a part time sludge press operator.
HWU’s roster of personnel budgeted for the 2013-14 fiscal year includes (83) full time classified,
the General Manager, the Director of Engineering, 5 W&S Commissioners and 18 seasonal and part
time employees, for a total of (108) budgeted positions.
There are 14 total classified positions listed in the Water Treatment Operator I and II classifications;
however there will never be more than 10 of those positions permanently filled. 4 Water Treatment
Plant Operator positions are available, if needed, to hire and train new operators due to turnover or

Capital Budget:
Our Capital Budget for this year includes a total of $10,006,900 in capital projects and equipment
replacement. A description of all of the capital projects and capital equipment replacement is
included in the budget document.
Our expenditures on capital projects continue to focus on the projects necessary to complete our
Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) required under a Consent Judgment with the State of Kentucky.
Approximately $8,500,100 for LTCP projects is being included in this year’s budget.
Approximately $766,800 for projects that were budgeted for this fiscal year are being carried over
into next year’s budget from completion.
Based upon the limited funds available, our capital spending on new items is restricted to $740,000.
There are several small projects listed that are necessary to keep our facilities in acceptable
operating condition. The remaining $613,500 is listed as unidentified future projects. We have
chosen to identify the remainder of our capital projects as we go through the year. It makes little
sense to identify projects that take up all the available funds, when one medium-size surprise during
the year could require all the funds we have available for capital projects. This will allow us to
replace items when they break and identify our most critical needs in an ever changing
environment.

Capital Expenditure Descriptions – 2013-2014 Budget
Carryover Projects
Generator Backup for Admin: (Project No. 1700-0014) A backup generator will provide
electricity to our servers and phone system when power is out during a storm or other
emergency. The Admin. Building is our main headquarters during times of crisis and it is
essential to have communication and access to our files.
VFD Controls for two 450 HP High Service Pumps: (Project No. 1700-0030) VFDs (Variable
Frequency Drives) will provide better operation and control of our high service pumps at the
North Water Treatment Plant. Currently, our 450 HP pumps are either fully on or off, with no
ability to gradually ramp up or down during the start and stop cycles. The start and stop cycles
on these pumps are very critical to keeping our system water pressures constant and in
eliminating pressure surges that can cause major water leaks. VFDs will allow us to smoothly
start, stop, and run the pumps at variable rates, thereby improving operation and reducing repair
costs.
ISCO 2150 CSO Point Automation: (Project No. 1700-0031) Currently, information from our
CSO Point Data Collection and Analysis devices is manually collected twice a month. This
project will upgrade the devices so that they report automatically via a cell network to a website
that we will manage and maintain. The upgrade will provide us with real-time data during
rainfall events. The equipment includes hardware modules, software and setup.
Auto flush Hydrants (DBP Control): (Project No. 1700-0035) Automatic flushing hydrants,
placed at strategic points in the water distribution system, help ensure more consistent water
movement and turnover, and reduction in Disinfection By-Products (DBPs). We will purchase
10 auto flush hydrants for the North system and 2 for the South system. The hydrant locations
will be established at the extremities of our system, and/or in areas of lower water demand.
Green River Road Water & Sewer Lines: (Project No. 1802-0048) The widening of Green
River Road by the City and State has made it necessary for this to become a high priority
project. We will install a 12” water line and a gravity sewer line. The new water line will extend
from Osage Drive to the Gray Stone Subdivision entrance, and will replace two older existing
water lines, both of which are tied to the Green River Road Tank. The new gravity sewer will
replace a sewer lift station, and will provide future sewer access to other areas on Green River
Road and in Grantwood Hills.
Canoe Creek Interceptor: (Project No. 1802-0003) The Canoe Creek Interceptor is identified
in our Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) as a key component of our strategy of “conveyance to
treatment”. The project involves construction of a new master pumping station on Roosevelt
Street near Canoe Creek, installing a section of new large diameter gravity sewer, and building
a force main to the North WWTP. Three small lift stations will be eliminated, and will be
replaced by some smaller diameter gravity sewer lines. The interceptor will also eliminate the
Cooper Park Pump Station Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Point.
Center and Julia Phase III: (Project No. 1802-0007) The main components of this project,
rerouting separated stormwater lines around the Third Street Basin, have been completed. The
remaining component of the project, replacement of an existing culvert under the CSX Railroad
with a larger culvert, is on hold until we can obtain a permit from CSX Railroad.
NWWTP Basin 1: (Project No. 1802-0011) This project involves the complete reconstruction
and replacement of the existing Extended Aeration Basin (EAB#1) and all related operating
aeration equipment at the North Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Capital Expenditure Descriptions – 2013-2014 Budget
Pump Station Modifications - Various Locations: (Project No. 1802-0013) Several smaller
sewer pump stations need to be upgraded for better operation and maintenance.
Period Tables Pump Station Upgrade: (Project No. 1802-0025) This old sewer pumping
station was equipped with only one pump and is in need of another pump, new controls and a
new wet-well. The old building around it now will be demolished with the upgrade.
NWWTP Headworks: (Project No. 1802-0035) A new headworks is identified in our Long
Term Control Plan (LTCP) as a necessary step to increase treatment capacity at the North
Wastewater Treatment Plant. The headworks is being designed by J.R. Wauford & Company,
Consulting Engineers, Inc. The design includes a complete analysis of the North Plant, as well
as the design of an upgrade to the Janalee Drive Pump Station.
NWTP Rehab Work: (Project No. 1802-0036) The North Water Treatment Plant was
constructed in 1961 and the last major renovation was in 1990. The project is necessary to
provide structural repairs, equipment replacement, and rehabilitation of treatment basins as well
as major maintenance for the pump building and clearwell storage tank.
Golden Corral Pump Station Upgrade: (Project No. 1802-0045) This old sewer pumping
station was equipped with only one pump and is in need of another pump, new controls and a
new wet-well.
Wright Street Pump Station Upgrade: (Project No. 1802-0047) This old sewer pumping
station was equipped with only one pump and is in need of another pump, new controls and a
new wet-well. The old building around it now will be demolished with the upgrade.
HS Building Hoist System: (Project No. 1804-0002) A heavy hoist system is necessary to
safely service and maintain our new high service pumps at the South Water Treatment Plant.
We upgraded the old pumps to larger more efficient pumps when we built the new Chamberlin
Tank. The hoist is for the safety of our maintenance crews when working on or changing out
this equipment.
Main Building Paint/Roof Repairs: (Project No. 1804-0009) The main building at the North
Wastewater Treatment Plant is in critical need of a roof repair/replacement. It has the original
metal roof which has been patched and repaired on multiple occasions. The current age of the
roof as well as the close proximity to the headworks and the resulting exposure to Hydrogen
Sulfide has caused the roof to deteriorate very quickly over the last two years.
11
Capital Expenditure Descriptions – 2013-2014 Budget
New Projects & Equipment:
Copier/Printer/Scanner: (For Admin. and SOC) This expenditure is for the purchase of two
new copiers, one for the Administration Building and one for the System Operations Center.
The unit at the Administration Building is seven years old and has high service and operating
costs because of its age and condition. The unit at the SOC is five years old and the service
cost of this unit is very high as well. The SOC unit gets a tremendous amount of use and has
reached the end of its useful life.
Sludge Loading Equipment Bucket: A replacement bucket is needed for our large end loader
that is used to move and load sludge at the North Wastewater Treatment Plant. The existing
bucket is completely worn out from scraping on the concrete floor of the sludge storage building.
Meter test equipment (for large water meters 2" to 6"): This equipment is necessary to
verify the accuracy of our very large water meters. The test equipment will be mounted on a
portable trailer to allow us to complete the necessary testing in the field. We try to test or
replace our 6” meters once a year and our 4” meters once every two years. These larger
meters represent the majority of our water sales, and their accuracy can have a large impact on
our revenue. Maintaining correct calibration of these meters is very important and can
dramatically affect our revenue if the meters fail or are badly worn.
HVAC for Sludge Press Equipment Control Room: This heat and air unit is for the control
room of our North Wastewater Treatment Plant sludge press building. The control room houses
the polymer feed system and the electronics for the sludge press operation.
Water quality management software (HACH): This software is for managing the water
quality, chemical feeds, and other aspects of our four treatment plants. We have needed this
software for a very long time now and have been using Excel spreadsheets to try to manage
and record this complicated process. This tool will help optimize our treatment processes and
our use of chemicals. It will also help us with record keeping and staying in compliance with our
ever changing regulatory requirements. The system will automate most of our required monthly
reporting for both water and wastewater which should free up time for the Treatment Manager to
do other necessary duties.
Tornado Storm Shelter SWWTP: Our South treatment plants seem to be in tornado alley. We
have experienced several severe storms and near miss tornados in the area. We have an in-
ground storm shelter at the water treatment plant, but no storm shelter at the wastewater
treatment plant. This above ground unit will be installed in the operations building at the South
WWTP to provide a safe place for our employees during a weather emergency.
Blower Building #1 Roof Coating: Hydrogen sulfide has caused the roof on blower building
#1 at the North WWTP to start deteriorating. We need to water blast and put a new coating on
this roof to extend its life. This building was built in 1990.
Unidentified Capital Projects: Because of our limited capital funds, we have chosen to leave
the remaining funds available to assign to a project or projects later in the budget year. As we
have seen this last year; projects that were identified and budgeted had to be delayed or
eliminated because a project with a higher need was identified later in the year. It makes little
sense to identify small projects to use the available funds, when one medium-sized surprise
project during the year could require all the funds we have available. The strategy of having an
unidentified capital projects category will allow us to replace critical items when they fail and to
identify our most critical needs in an ever changing environment.
