RUSSELL R. SIGHTS, CITY MANAGER, announced that a report is attached to his memorandum from the Public Works Director Selection Committee. He added “this committee met twice, I believe, and the committee members consisted of Mr. Robert Gunter, Mrs. Connie Galloway, Commissioner Robert Pruitt, Mr. Buzzy  A Regular November 11, 2014 Newman, and me. In the second meeting, we had a discussion about how to move forward and in this document we are recommending that the Public Works Director’s position not be filled and that we create two Public Works’ Manager positions, one would be in charge of solid waste collection and disposal at the CD&D Landfill and the City Garage. The other position would be in charge of Streets, and when I say streets I mean the broad vernacular, sidewalks, alleys and that type of thing as well as Traffic Control and City Maintenance. If you accept that recommendation, there is a cost savings of a little over $27,000 in employee salaries and fringe benefits. Again, if you choose to move forward on this, we will bring back an ordinance that will be necessary to amend the budget. I would be glad to answer any questions. This would be an action tonight to instruct us to bring the ordinance back if you are in favor of doing this.” COMMISSIONER MILLS asked ”if we do this, do we take the Public Works Director out of the budget?” Mr. Sights replied “what we would plan to do would be to bring back the ordinance and it would abolish the Public Works Director position.” COMMISSIONER HITE asked Mr. X. R. Royster, who has a long history in that position, to tell the Board his opinion.” Mr. Royster answered “No, I don’t think it will work because going door to door during the campaign, all I heard were complaints like things were not getting done, they didn’t know who to talk to, what do they do? It takes one person to run this operation and that one person has to be strong enough to make decisions on their own and worry about how it falls out later and I don’t think you are going to get that. I was going to wait for the ordinance but I will ask you now if you would table this until the first of the year when the new commission takes the seat and let us deal with it. Commissioner Hite said “One of the questions that I have is, for me, it seems like efficiency would be improved and effectiveness because you would be splitting the duties so one person would be Sanitation and Garage and one person would be only Streets and they would have and maybe be able to focus more time on that position.” Mr. Royster added “you still have superintendents out there. Unlike Police and Fire, there are several layers in there and in Public Works, there is not. So, you take two basic superintendents and make them managers, there is no one under them.” Commissioner Davis asked “there’s nobody under them now, is there?” Mr. Royster responded “the superintendents, you have a Public Works Director who deals with the superintendents.” Commissioner Davis said “I guess I have to agree with Jan because it seems more efficient to divide these up to where given daily attention where we have been sort of in limbo here recently.” Mr. Royster said “being in limbo is two different situations. You are in limbo because no one has done anything about it.” Commissioner Davis responded “I don’t think it’s about being negligent, I think it has been a factor of trying to find out what’s going to work for us.” Mr. Royster responded “I think it has just slowed the process, on purpose maybe, I don’t know.” Commissioner Davis said “I respect your opinion but I have a difference of opinion.” Mr. Royster said “you gave the test once and picked the wrong person apparently so the obvious thing would be to start all over again. If you haven’t, so how do you know?” Commissioner Pruitt added “let me say this “X. R., during those meetings that we had, that was my concern, in anything there has to be somebody where the buck stops with them. Now, you got two people where the buck stops with. I think we should have one person, let’s find the right person and make him the director and let the buck stop with that person. When you start splitting it out and breaking it all down, you’ve got employees looking around like I just don’t know who is running this thing. I really think that anything works better when there is one person responsible and you can break it off in how many layers you want, but the buck stops with Russell Sights. That’s where it needs to be and that’s where it needs stay.” Commissioner Hite said “so currently we have a City Manager, Public Works Director and four Superintendents and so if we were to eliminate the Public Works Director and create the two Managers, would we still have four Superintendents or would we have a need for four?” Mr. Royster answered “just two superintendents, one under each manager.” Commissioner Hite said “looking at it from my position, you are eliminating a position and creating two separate positions that make the whole operation more efficient and effective. Of course, there will always be somebody who looks great on paper and then comes in and really isn’t worth a darn and we then have to deal with  A Regular November 11, 2014 that. That’s not the only department that has dealt with that, this year even. It’s unfortunate that sometime that happens but at the same time, you went through the same process and we were lucky to have you for a long time. Mr. Royster stated “it happens all of the time, you retest, that’s nothing new.” Mayor Austin said “one of the things that he liked about this plan was that we are giving two employees that are now in positions to advance their opportunities and I like that part of it.” Mr. Royster added “I ran into only one who has the chance to do that and the other one is a new position.” Mayor Austin commented that “it probably will be an existing employee. According to the budget they have set up with the $26,000, yes, it will be an existing employee. Mr. Royster said “yes, but you have to test for it.” Mr. Sights added “probably what we would do is test internally at first as long as we can get three qualified people with more than two years experience, to give every advantage to an existing employee. Mr. Royster said “if you don’t, you have to open it.” Mr. Sights explained that “yes, we would then but not until we have gone through that process and it hasn’t worked out. Would Mr. Newman come up because he was deeply involved in the committee and doing some research on his own.” Mr. William L. (Buzzy) Newman, Jr., said that “we were looking at this from the perspective of, not only taking this approach but also adding additional duties to the PWI Manager Position. As you are aware, you have added an infrastructure projects over the last two years that has been above and beyond what we normally do in our operating budget so we call those special projects and those projects have to land somewhere, in somebody’s lap. So far, we have been haphazardly getting it done but with the assistance of Public Works and Engineering and myself when those projects have been completed. When I say that it would be the South Main Street sidewalk project, the Green River Road Sidewalk project. This coming year, we have additional sidewalks for Green River Road and sidewalks planned for other parts of Henderson as well as our lighting project on the Second Street Project, the East End Project.” Mr. Newman stated “ those are some of the special projects that are facing us and I thought and recommended that special projects would land under Public Works and not in Engineering itself.” Commissioner Hite, Commissioner Mills, and Commissioner Davis as well as Mayor Austin agree with the “two manager” concept. Commissioner Pruitt wanted to wait until the new commissioner members take office in January. Mayor Austin explained, “at this point we are trying to create the ordinance.” Mr. Sights asked the Board “do you want us to put the ordinance on the next agenda and then you all make that decision based on official action, otherwise I need some kind of consensus to tell me when to put it on the agenda. COMMISSIONER PRUITT asked that we go ahead and get it prepared and let the incoming commission be a part of the decision. COMMISSIONER DAVIS asked “I think my opinion does still count and would like to request that it be on the next meeting agenda.” COMMISSIONER HITE asked if Mr. Johnston and Mr. Royster would have an opportunity to make remarks on the ordinance. Commissioner Davis pointed out that it is an open meeting and open discussion. REPORT: WORK SESSION MR. SIGHTS stated “we had planned to have a Work Session next Tuesday but only rate changes at the JFK Center are ready for discussion. Would it be possible to come in at 4:30 p.m. before our November 25th meeting to discuss this item?” __________________________  A Regular November 11, 2014 REPORT: 911 PROPOSALS MR. NEWMAN announced that proposals for the 911 Center were received from two different firms today. The Joint City-County Committee will meet on November 20th to go over the proposals. _____________________________ COMMISSIONER’S REPORTS: COMMISSIONER HITE said “Happy Veterans Day” to all who have served. There were a couple of statements made in recent months about ideas and plans regarding some of our parks. “I realized that there might be a hole in our Steering Committee with the Visionary Committee regarding our parks. Commissioner Davis said that recreation and parks have played a large part of the Visionary Plan so far. Mr. Newman added that there was a person representing parks already chosen. Mr. Trace Stevens, Parks and Recreations Director added that he would be happy to join the committee. COMMISSIONER PRUITT congratulated all of the people who won in the election. Thanks to the veterans who allow him to have a seat on this Board and keeping citizens safe. COMMISSIONER DAVIS added that this Veterans Day celebration at South Middle School had to be one of the very best ever. The honor guard of American Legion #40 performed their duties at the celebration and proceeded to Central Park where they presented memorial wreaths for all five branches of the services at the War Memorial. MAYOR AUSTIN thanked the students at South Jr. High, the teachers and the entire staff because they do a wonderful job. ______________________________ EXECUTIVE SESSION: PERSONNEL MOTION by Commissioner Pruitt, seconded by Commissioner Hite, pursuant to the provisions of KRS 61.810(1)(f) that the Board of Commissioners go into Executive Session for discussions or hearings which might lead to the appointment, discipline, or dismissal of an employee.
