Russell R. Sights, City Manager, indicated that even with budget cuts a steady
revenue stream would be necessary to cover these additional expenses long-term
and presented a brief overview of each of the submitted suggestions for additional
revenue and budget reductions:
• Raise Payroll Tax from 1.29% to 1.39% and/or raise Net Profits Tax from
1.0% to 1.39%; raise garbage fee by $1.00; move 9-1-1 fee from landlines
to county-wide water bills; increase liquor and beer license, building
permits, electrical permits, boat launch permits, law enforcement fees, and
cemetery sales prices by 25% (or as permitted); increase gas fund rates to
insure break-even; move 9-1-1 fees from landlines to utility bills for all
City residents and increase rate by $0.50 per year for four years; creation
of “wheel tax” fund that would go 100% to streets and related
expenditures; increase water utility PILOT by $100,000.00 in the next rate
increase; and increase property tax rate to $0.49 per $100.00.
• Closure of the Municipal Golf Course; cut HRA contributions from
$1,000.00 to $500.00 for family and from $500.00 to $250.00 for single
persons; cut hazardous duty employees; cut non-hazardous duty

CITY OF HENDERSON – RECORD BOOK
Record of Minutes of A Called Work Session Meeting on April 10, 2018
DISCUSSION WAS HELD regarding the option of moving 9-1-1 fees from landlines to
county-wide water bills and all of the terms and conditions that would allow such a move-which
include the County also approving it and giving the appropriate notice to the various telephone
companies; the amount of additional funds that moving the 9-1-1 fees from landlines to water
bills would generate; increasing the 9-1-1 fee in addition to moving it to water bills; the amount
of funds needed to supplement the 9-1-1 system each year; the term and dollar amount of the 9-
1-1 system annual maintenance agreement for the new equipment; state statute regulates that
ABC license fees may only be raised 5% once every five years; that increasing gas rates doesn’t
decrease the additional pension funding needed; the amount of reserves the Gas Fund has, and
what is fiscally sound practice; the amount of PEAK funds and how long they are expected; all
three utility PILOT dollar amounts were reviewed; that the wheel tax was a nightmare to
enforce; that each $0.01 raise in the property tax rate increases revenue by $139,000.00; all
vacant positions are reviewed and justified prior to filling; that the Board could set a goal of the
number of positions not to be filled in both hazardous duty and non-hazardous duty; the number
of licensed vehicles; take-home vehicle policy; the police department take-home policy and the
number of fleet vehicles; the possibility of using some single arm trash trucks to reduce
personnel; the possibility of retrofitting one trash truck to start due to the large front end expense
to purchase the equipment and the possibility of utilizing both types of trucks and work crews for
garbage pick-up; updating the 2008 analysis relating to sanitation pick-up and disposal;
considering using one-half increased revenues and one-half decreased expenses to cover the
additional pension costs; and that the proposed budget will be presented at the May work session.
It was determined that members of the Board would submit ranked revised/refined ideas
on reducing expenses and generating additional revenue to help offset the additional pension
expense to the City Manager and a called work session would be scheduled for review of the
submitted items after the state legislature has finalized their vote on whether or not there will be
a phase-in of the additional pension costs.
NO FORMAL ACTION WAS TAKEN BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.

evidence of their qualifications as it may deem necessary, and may consider any evidence available to it
of the financial, technical, and other qualifications and abilities of a bidder, including past performance
on contracts of this type with other agencies. The purchaser shall be the final authority in the award of
bids.
XIV BID GUARANTY:
Bid proposals shall be accompanied by a Certified Check, Cashier's Check, or Surety Bond in the amount
of ten percent (10%) of the total price of the bid. The bid surety shall be made payable to this agency
and conditioned upon the successful bidder accepting the award and submitting an acceptable

liquidated damages because of such failure or default.
XV INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE:
The contractor shall indemnify and save the purchaser harmless from any and all claims, liability, losses,
and causes of actions which may arise out of the fulfillment of this agreement. The bidder shall pay all
claims and losses of any nature whatever in connection therewith, shall defend all suits, in the name of
the purchaser when applicable, and shall pay all costs and judgments which may ensure thereafter.
Since these specifications describe an emergency vehicle that may be used under adverse conditions,
this agency seeks to reduce its future liability exposure, therefore, all bidders responding to these
specifications shall submit the proposed Certificate of Insurance. This shall certify that the manufacturer
of the vehicle bid has in force product liability insurance in the minimum amount of twenty million
dollars {$20,000,000.00).
Bidders failing to submit proof of the above insurance requirement CANNOT be accepted and their bid
proposal will be rejected.

XVII PROCSAL IN REPLY TO SPECIFICATIONS:
Any exceptions to these specifications must be itemized. Should the bidder require additional space for
his reply he may attach an additional page(s) into the response at that point. Details concerning the
exceptions or "clarifications" must be clearly explained. Each exception will be considered by the
purchaser as to the degree of impact and total effect on their bid. If specification sheets are referenced,
they shall be included as a part of the bid proposal.
NOTE: Bidders are reminded that these specifications call for a vehicle and equipment that must meet
the specific needs of this agency. Price alone is not the primary factor in a bid award. With that in mind,
bidders are encouraged not to take exceptions to this specification but to engineer their product to
meet the requirements of these specifications.
When submitting their bid proposal, bidders must return all pages of these specifications as part of the
bid proposal as it will form the contract between the contractor and the purchaser. Caution should be
taken by the bidder that afl questions are answered in the space provided and all information required is
submitted.
VIII SUBCONTRACTS
This agency is extremely concerned with purchasing the vehicle from a manufacturer who can provide
the necessary service after the sale with a minimum of confusion. With this in mind, this vehicle shall be

bid) contractor.
This requirement applies to all major components and subcomponents of the vehicle. Major
components would include items such as: the modular ambulance body, interior cabinets, electrical
wiring harnesses, paint and paint prep, and other related items.
This no subcontractor clause will apply to any type of subcontract, lease, rental or any other similar
arrangement. The bidder may be required by this agency to prove compliance with this requirement.
No exceptions will be allowed on this requirement since the purchaser will not accept the above
mentioned warranties from a fragmented source unless otherwise noted.
!XX FAMILIARITY WITH LAW
The bidder is presumed to be familiar with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, code rules, and
regulations that may in any way effect the work. Ignorance on the part of the bidder shall in no way
