COMMISSIONER DAVIS explained that this resolution applied to all utilities, not just HWU.  A Regular August 12, 2014 COMMISSIONER PRUITT asked Mr. Tom Williams, HWU General Manager, to explain what trenchless construction meant. MR. WILLIAMS explained that trenchless construction was any method that is used to push utilities underground without digging a trench. This type of equipment has been around for a while and the technology has changed a lot. We see a lot of cable and phone companies engaged in using trenchless construction and not letting our offices know ahead of time that they may possibly be impacting the City’s utilities. The vote was called.

MAYOR AUSTIN asked Mr. Williams what would be the easiest way for citizens to find out where and if they have easements on their property? Mr. Williams suggested that going to the Codes Department would be the easiest way to find that information. The vote was called. On roll call, the vote stood: Commissioner Davis ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Mills ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Hite ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Pruitt ----------------- Aye: Mayor Austin ------------------------- Aye: WHEREUPON Mayor Austin declared the Ordinance adopted on its first reading and ordered that it be presented for a second reading at a meeting of the Board of Commissioners. __________________________ ORDINANCE NO. 30-14: FIRST READING ORDINANCE AMENDING STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES ORDINANCE ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE II, EXCAVATIONS, OF CHAPTER 20, STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES, AND SECTION 20-24  A Regular August 12, 2014 THROUGH 20-28 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF HENDERSON MOTION by Commissioner Mills, seconded by Commissioner Hite, that the Ordinance be adopted. COMMISSIONER DAVIS asked Mr. Williams if this ordinance included any authority to hold someone responsible for digging in the area of city easements and then walking away. Mr. Williams explained that the hope was that this ordinance would educate people to be aware that calling city staff before they dig is expected. If they do damage to the street or sidewalk, typically the private contractor that does the damage should be the one to replace it. MR. RUSSELL R. SIGHTS, CITY MANAGER, stated that he knew of another second class city was going through the very same thing. The vote was called. On roll call, the vote stood: Commissioner Davis ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Mills ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Hite ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Pruitt ----------------- Aye: Mayor Austin ------------------------- Aye: WHEREUPON Mayor Austin declared the Ordinance adopted on its first reading and ordered that it be presented for a second reading at a meeting of the Board of Commissioners. __________________________ RESOLUTION NO. 72-14 RESOLUTION AWARDING BID FOR THE PURCHASE OF A 2014 VAN CHASSIS WITH KNAPHEIDE KUV SERVICE BODY TO BOB HOOK CHEVROLET OF LOUISVILLE, KY IN THE AMOUNT OF $32,975 MOTION by Commissioner Mills, seconded by Commissioner Pruitt, to adopt the resolution authorizing the award of a bid for the purchase of a 2014 van chassis with installed Knapheide KUV 129SUK service body, to Bob Hook Chevrolet, Louisville, Kentucky, in the amount of $32,975.00 MR. SIGHTS explained that funds were budgeted for this vehicle; however, the bid came in $975.00 over the budgeted amount due to the addition of two safety items (back-up camera and swing down ladder rack) that were not included in the original estimate. You will find out on the next bid item, if it makes any difference, that we are going to save $9,032.00 so we are trading $975.00 for over $9,000.00, all in the General Fund. The vote was called. On roll call, the vote stood: Commissioner Davis ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Mills ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Hite ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Pruitt ----------------- Aye: Mayor Austin ------------------------- Aye: WHEREUPON Mayor Austin declared the Resolution adopted, affixed, his signature and the date thereto, and ordered that the same be recorded.  A Regular August 12, 2014 RESOLUTION NO. 73-14 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF A LEAF VACUUM FROM MUNICIPAL EQUIPMENT, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, AT THE STATE PRICE CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF $39,967.50 MOTION by Commissioner Pruitt, seconded by Commissioner Hite, to adopt the resolution authorizing the purchase of a GVM Vacuum Leaf Loader from Municipal Equipment, Inc., of Louisville, Kentucky, for the Kentucky State Contract price of $39,967.50. MR. SIGHTS stated that this item would be purchased on a State Price Contract. This unit is in stock in Louisville and could be delivered before the leaf-falling season. Mr. Brian Williams, Acting Public Works Director, explained that a 30-yard leaf vacuum was budgeted and this model is a 20-yard leaf vacuum. As it turns out, with a 30-yard vacuum you need a regular dump truck to pull it and it is a little large for some of our narrower streets as well as dead end streets to turn around. Last year Traffic Control purchased a F-450 one-ton dump truck that will pull the 20-yard unit and the smaller unit should work fine. By doing so, we saved approximately $9,000 and it could be delivered in a week. The vote was called. On roll call, the vote stood: Commissioner Davis ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Mills ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Hite ----------------- Aye: Commissioner Pruitt ----------------- Aye: Mayor Austin ------------------------- Aye: WHEREUPON Mayor Austin declared the Resolution adopted, affixed, his signature and the date thereto, and ordered that the same be recorded. __________________________ PRESENTATION: COMMUNITY ONE REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF BUILDING PERMIT FEES MR. SIGHTS asked that the letter of request be reviewed and approved by the Board of Commissioners. MR. NEWMAN said that Ms. Lori Reed, Community Development Director, for Community One has outlined two options in their project approach, one is doing the whole-house rehab project and the other is doing smaller projects completed totaling approximately $65,000 under their contract with the City. He estimated that this would mean a savings of approximately $950.00 for Community One. MOTION by Commissioner Hite, seconded by Commissioner Davis, to waive building fees associated with the major whole-house rehab project and all housing restoration projects completed under our contract with the City of Henderson with Community One. MR. NEWMAN agreed to bring an up to date report to this Board at their next meeting. DISCUSSION WAS HELD.

MOTION by Commissioner Hite, seconded by Commissioner Davis, that the Ordinance be adopted. MR. LEASON NEEL, HWU CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, explained that this was the last of the borrowing to complete the Sewer- Storm Water Separation Project and the beginning of the monies needed for the North Water Treatment Plant reparation and some work to be done on the South Water Treatment Plant. Mr. Neel introduced Mr. Chip Southerland from Hilliyard Lyons, W. L. Lyons LLC and Mr. Roger Peterman, with Peck Shaffer & Williams LLP. Bonds are expected to be sold on September 9, 2014.

Also, along the Atkinson Street area where we had new gutters; sidewalks are scheduled for the next week or two. Also, abandoned and neglected properties are a concern. He asked staff to move forward and make sure that we are looking at appropriate measures to start the processes of getting around to the demolition of some of the unsafe structures MR. SIGHTS added that we have twelve or thirteen listed properties right now that are in some phase of condemnation. On four or five, we will proceed with tearing down now. If we do all twelve this fiscal year, it will probably exhaust our budget. We will want to come back to you asking for an additional appropriation so we can do them all. Mr. Newman stated that beyond those mentioned, there are an additional ten that he would recommend that be done over the next couple of years. COMMISSIONER PRUITT asked Mr. Newman to explain the process of condemnation. Mr. Newman explained that typically, the Codes Department would go out and make an assessment of a structure and if they find the structure to not be in  A Regular August 12, 2014 compliance with the building code and the structure is a safety hazard to the public, then they will write that up and send notification to the property owner. For the most part, they are left in some sort of absent trust and no one is claiming responsibility and often times, many of these properties have tax liens against them and we have to go through the process of notification and if we find we are not getting any response, then typically, we have to petition the court to prove that the structures are unsafe. Commissioner Pruitt stated “once we take it down, now we got a vacant lot. As the years go on, when does the City actually take control of the property or do we just leave it vacant forever?” MRS. DAWN KELSEY, CITY ATTORNEY, replied that a law suit would be filed and foreclosure on our liens. Commissioner Pruitt, asked if we were going to just leave the lots vacant. Mr. Newman replied that staff has discussed what it would take to create a Land Bank. There would be legal requirements to go through the court system in order to take ownership of the property. The purpose would be to repurpose that property if the City had ownership. Repurpose may be for a non-profit organization like Community One or Habitat for Humanity. Mr. Sights said that staff would present to the Board pros and cons of a Land Bank but there will be extensive legal costs involved. We will present a report to you. ___________________________ EXECUTIVE SESSION: LITIGATION AND REAL ESTATE MOTION by Commissioner Pruitt, seconded by Commissioner Mills, pursuant to the provisions of KRS 61.810(1)(c) for discussions of proposed or pending litigation against or on behalf the public agency as well as pursuant to KRS 61.810(1)(b) for Deliberations on the future acquisition or sale of real property located on Water Street, since publicity would likely affect the value of the property.
