AS THE ADMINISTERING AGENCY MRS. DAWN KELSEY, City Attorney explained that last Tuesday the Tri-County Recycling Alliance, Inc. and the Solid Waste Alliance Boards met to discuss the future of the Tri-County Recycling Alliance as a result of the operation being idled and how Tri-County will move forward. Under the current Agreement all participants are required to take recycling materials to the Recycling Center. Mrs. Kelsey indicated that she and Mr. Steve Gold, County Attorney, worked with the Tri-County Board to come up with a new Interlocal Agreement allowing participants to continue curbside recycling without being under contract with them. During this period of idleness Tri-County Recycling will work more toward receiving grants for special days like Hazardous Material Day and continue to provide recycling opportunities for all the participants.

WILLIAM L. NEWMAN, JR., Assistant City Manager, explained that with the City assuming the residential curbside recycling process, a part of the community that is not being addressed as far as recycling within the city limits is the commercial accounts that have participated with Henderson Recycling in the past. There has been interest from that sector of the community that would like to participate and because our current curbside recycling agreement does not address the commercial side of things, this municipal order is necessary to include them as well. MOTION by Commissioner X R. Royster, seconded by Commissioner Robert M. Mills, to adopt the municipal order approving recycling services through September 30, 2016 for commercial businesses that were served by Henderson Recycling. Each participating business will be charged a $5.00 per month material handling fee. COMMISSIONER JOHNSTON asked if the program would be voluntary. Mr. Newman answered that participation would be optional and that only those that participate will be charged the $5.00 per month handling fee. Under the curbside recycling contract the 96 gallon bins are utilized and commercial participants will place the containers curbside on the appropriate day of the week that regular residential routes are picked up. The vote was called.

RUSSELL R. SIGHTS, City Manager, indicated that these five identified properties would continue the Boards’ desire to remove dilapidated structures. MR. WILLIAM L. NEWMAN, JR., Assistant City Manager, explained that the operating budget for the Codes department allocated funds specifically for the demolition of additional homes above and beyond what has been budgeted in the past. These five properties will complete the objective within the approved budget. Staff recommends that these structures be demolished as proposed. MOTION by Commissioner Jan Hite, seconded by Commissioner Jesse Johnston, to award the bid for the demolition and removal of structures from five properties in the City to Hazex Construction Company, Inc. in the low bid amount of $11,295.00.  87 CITY OF HENDERSON – RECORD BOOK Record of Minutes of A Regular Meeting on May 24, 2016 The vote was called. On roll call, the vote stood: Commissioner Royster ---- Aye: Commissioner Mills ------- Aye: Commissioner Johnston --- Aye: Commissioner Hite -------- Aye: Mayor Austin --------------- Aye: WHEREUPON, Mayor Austin declared the municipal order adopted, affixed his signature and the date thereto, and ordered that the same be recorded. /s/ Steve Austin Steve Austin, Mayor ATTEST: May 24, 2016 Maree Collins, City Clerk ________________________ MUNICIPAL ORDER NO. 24-16: MUNICIPAL ORDER AWARDING BID FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW DRIVE-THRU CANOPY FOR THE MUNICIPAL CENTER’S FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO Q & S CONTRACTING, INC., SEBREE, KENTUCKY IN THE AMOUNT OF $90,897.00 MR. RUSSELL SIGHTS, City Manager, explained that approximately 55,000 vehicles per year are processed through the one drive-thru window downstairs. As a result of all of this activity, cars are often backed up out into the street and have become a safety hazard. The project will include a second drive-thru lane utilizing some parking spaces; however, we believe that the disadvantage of that will be offset by the benefits of the overall project. Mr. Ward will be in charge of the project and at this time he will explain the bid process. MR. DYLAN WARD, Public Works Engineer, gave a brief overview of the bid process indicating that this was unique in the since that it was a design build. The bid package included the engineering design as well as the construction of the canopy. This would include a structural engineer to size the foundation, size the rebar, size the steel to be partnered with the contractor to build the structure. Mr. Ward indicated that since this was something new to us and we didn’t want to give a timeline that might detrimentally affect the overall price of the project it was determined to make this an evaluated bid criteria with 80% of the score based upon cost and 20% based on schedule. Downtime needed to kept to a minimum yet have a schedule that was cost effective. The two bids received were within $97.00 of each other on cost with AVP having the lower cost; however when the schedule was factored in, Q & S was the low overall bidder and is recommended upon the criteria detailed in the bid package. This bid is for the canopy design and construction only and there will be another bid package for the actual track system that transports the payments. MOTION by Commissioner Jan Hite, seconded by Commissioner Robert M. Mills, to adopt the municipal order awarding the bid for the design and construction of a new drive-thru canopy for the Municipal Center’s Finance Department to Q&S Contracting, Inc. of Sebree, Kentucky in the amount of $90,897.00. MAYOR AUSTIN indicated that a representative from AVP had requested to speak to the Board of Commissioners. MR. ALLAN POWELL, AVP President, 4869 Old Madisonville Road, stated that there was no timeframe indicated in the bid package and that if it was valuable to the City on a daily basis then there should have been a timeframe included to complete the project. He indicated you can’t multiply days times dollars and wasn’t given any way of determining how that 80% for the price and 20% for the schedule was going to be calculated. He further indicated he still doesn’t know that because he wasn’t provided that formula. He stated that if he had had that formula he might have played games himself and figured out how not to get beat. He further indicated that he was the low bidder, is a local tax payer, is paying property taxes to the City of 88 CITY OF HENDERSON – RECORD BOOK Record of Minutes of A Regular Meeting on May 24, 2016 Henderson on three or four properties, and doesn’t understand how you calculate the difference to not give it to a low bidder based on five days. MAYOR AUSTIN asked Mr. Ward to respond. Mr. Ward indicated that the reason a schedule was not included in the bid was that we had not done a project like this in the past where we asked for a design and build together, so we didn’t want to give an unmanageable timeline. He further indicated that we would have loved to have had the drive-thru open in 30 days, but if we allowed 30 days and then found out that their schedule was 70 days there would need to be a lot of overtime work to get it completed within that 30 day limit. In the bid package it was clearly spelled out how the points were calculated. Total points out of 100 – 80% cost calculated using 80 points for the lowest price and if you were not the lowest price it would be 80 time the lowest price divided by the actual price, so you would get a fraction of the 80 points. AVP received 80 points for the lowest price and the proposed schedule was worth 20% that is calculated using 20 points for the quickest schedule, so Q&S received 20 points for quickest schedule and AVP received 20 times the quickest schedule divided by their schedule. He then passed out that sheet from the bid packet and his calculation sheet to show that the bids were very close, however, Q&S Construction was the lowest evaluated bid. DISCUSSION WAS HELD. VERBATIM DISCUSSION IS AVAILABLE OF THIS MEETING COMMISSIONER MILLS pointed out that the motion on the floor was to accept the recommendation. MAYOR AUSTIN confirmed that the motion on the floor was to accept the recommendation to award the bid to Q & S Construction. The vote was called. On roll call, the vote stood: Commissioner Royster ---- Nay: Commissioner Mills ------- Nay: Commissioner Johnston --- Nay: Commissioner Hite -------- Nay: Mayor Austin --------------- Aye: WHEREUPON, Mayor Austin declared the municipal order defeated, affixed his signature and the date thereto, and ordered that the same be recorded. /s/ Steve Austin Steve Austin, Mayor ATTEST: May 24, 2016 Maree Collins, City Clerk ________________________ MR. RUSSELL SIGHTS, City Manager, explained that for the second year in a row the city has participated in the reverse bid for road salt. Finance Director Robert Gunter will provide the results and recommendation. MR. ROBERT GUNTER, Finance Director, indicated that this reverse auction was sponsored by Kentucky Association of Counties and Kentucky League of Cities and last year the price we paid for road salt was $86.00 per ton and this year it is $84.50 per ton. Currently we have about 120 to 150 tons in inventory and we will draw this down as needed. MUNICIPAL ORDER NO. 25-16: MUNICIPAL ORDER AWARDING BID FOR PURCHASE OF 300 TONS OF ROAD SALT FOR 2016-2017 WINTER FROM COMPASS MINERALS AMERICA, INC., OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS IN THE AMOUNT OF $84.50 PER TON  89 CITY OF HENDERSON – RECORD BOOK Record of Minutes of A Regular Meeting on May 24, 2016 MOTION by Commissioner Jan Hite, seconded by Commissioner Robert M. Mills, to award the bid for the purchase of 300 tons of road salt for the 2016-2017 winter season to Compass Minerals America, Inc. of Overland Park, Kansas, in the amount of $84.50 per ton. COMMISSIONER ROYSTER asked if this would be coming from the Evansville terminal if we had to pick it up? Mr. Gunter responded that it would be delivered but if we had to pick it up it would be at Owensboro. The vote was called.

A Special Event Permit has been issued by the City and all requirements have been met for the event to be conducted from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. each Wednesday through September 28th except Wednesday, June 13th due to W. C. Handy Festival activities. COMMISSIONER’S REPORT: COMMISSIONER JOHNSTON indicated that he would like to echo the City Manager’s comments thanking everyone for their hard work on the budget. Staff does an amazing job of putting this together. COMMISSIONER HITE indicated that with this being her last budget season she too wanted to express her sincere gratitude to Mr. Gunter and his staff. All the work that is put into it makes it very easy to review what the City has; what is being spent; and revenues coming in. Commissioner Hite stated, “It has been a pleasure to work with you during this time.” And I do also want to reiterate my thanks to Mr. Ward and Mr. Newman. She indicated that she really does appreciate the ingenuity in coming up with a process that was a little bit out of the box and trying to figure out what was going to work best. She further indicated that she certainly doesn’t want to discourage that type of thinking because sometimes thinking outside the box produces the best results, it just happened that in this case she didn’t agree with the recommendation. ________________________ APPOINTMENT: CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION: ROBERT “BOB” FARMER - TERM TO EXPIRE JUNE 1, 2019 MOTION by Commissioner X R.
