This Program is a proven process that connects and mobilizes a community over an extended period of time. The Program has an annual budget of $66,850.00 and has already secured $35,000.00 per year toward that budget from the Welborn Baptist Foundation. Senator Mills is requesting that the City commit $30,000.00 per year for two years to complete the budget to fully fund this Program. DISCUSSION WAS HELD relating to other fund-raising opportunities available; the area of the Project and if the area could be expanded in the future; the other local organizations and churches partnering in the project; and that their Board is not opposed to having an Ad Hoc member from this Board. It was determined that a one-year funding agreement would be drafted by the City Attorney to be presented at a future date. ________________________ PRESENTATIONS: “Habitat for Humanity of Henderson Update” BRITNEY SMITH, Habitat for Humanity of Henderson Executive Director and MATT REYNOLDS, Habitat for Humanity of Henderson Operations Manager, gave a brief update of projects that have been ongoing over the recent past. They reported that they are very proud and thankful for the support and accomplishments over the years and currently have five homes underway. They further reported that University of Southern Indiana Grad Students had completed an Impact Study indicating that the Henderson City/County tax rolls are increased by $3.9 million due to the homes that Habitat has completed. Further studies indicate that the majority of these homeowners feel more financially stable and use personal budgets or spending plans and maintain an emergency fund for unexpected expenses. Ms. Smith reported that Habitat was recently named a Certified Housing Development Organization (CHDO) – the only Habitat in the state of Kentucky to receive that certification and the only CHDO on the western side of the state. Very proud to receive that certification in no small part because of the City’s completion of the Vision Plan. Also, additional funding was made available because of the CHDO and having a Vision Plan in place. Ms. Smith also reported on the increase in housing prices. She indicated that the same three-bedroom house plan construction cost was about $78,000.00 and is now $110,000.00. ________________________ PRESENTATIONS: “Planning Commission-Surplus Funds” BRIAN BISHOP, Planning Commission Executive Director, requested permission to use $40,000.00 of surplus FY2021 funds to hire TS Design Group to conduct a study relating to the impact on the U.S. 41 North strip after I-69 is completed.

MOTION by Commissioner Staton, seconded by Commissioner Thomas, granting permission for the Planning Commission to use $40,000.00 of surplus FY2021 funds to conduct a study relating to the impact I-69 will have on the U.S. 41N area of Henderson.

Mr. Berry first thanked the City for formally reviewing the offer of Big Rivers to purchase HMPL and engaging outside assistance and agreed with Mayor Austin that it is better to evaluate the offer correctly than to evaluate the offer quickly. However, the City’s evaluation process has experienced disappointments. Big Rivers submitted more than 50 questions/requests and neither the City nor the Consultant responded to any of them. The City and Consultant acknowledged a material error was made but unwilling to share their calculations to ensure other errors don’t exist. Big Rivers is concerned that many of the “starting point” assumptions are unrealistic or biased and generate misleading results. Big Rivers worked with a recognized industry expert to use the City Consultant’s methodology to analyze the impact of just three fact-based adjustments – Correcting the $20 million error in the cash flow and assuming that the new $13 million building is fully financed with a bond issue in the Base Case (no sale) would increase the 2035 revenue requirement. The three adjustments to the “Asset Sale” scenario are: BREC is a large, investment grade rated electric company and would not need a subsidiary to carry the same cash balance as the HMPL stand-alone utility; would finance the purchase with $60 million of cash at the current Rural Utilities Service 30-year fixed rate of 2.30% not the $90 million of 4.00% financing assumed in the report. -As a large wholesale supplier of electric power, the savings in power supply in 2035 with a BREC purchase would be $8.31/MWh not the $2.00 assumed in the report. -As a regulated retail electric provider under BREC ownership, the correct revenue requirement calculation assumes a 2.10 Times Interest Earned Ratio on interest expense just like Kenergy and Meade County rate cases. Mr. Berry continued that minor and easily documented changes to the section relating to Results of a Sale-Impacts on the Customer result in the negative NPV of $30.5 million becoming a positive $164.7 million NPV impact on customers from a sale. The resulting difference is 2035 rates are lower by $3.590 million in a BREC purchase scenario compared to $4.909 million higher rates assumed in the report. The net change in customer rates in 2035 will be $8.499 million lower than in the report. Several minor changes to assumptions would dramatically improve the financial impact on the City from the relatively minimal positive $1.5 NPV in the report. Those changes include: -The City may not have to make up the multi-employer unfunded liability at closing as was assumed in the report, and does not do that when an employee retires from HMPL. PFM acknowledged this potential correction during their presentation. -The $90 million proceeds would be received at closing, not over 5 years as assumed in the report. -If the BREC franchise fee is tied to sales volume, as is normally the case, the payment to the City would grow over time from the initial $2.5 million per year rate. The report gives no positive impact to the approximate 34 BREC jobs remaining in Henderson. -Using the Henderson Economic Development estimate of annual positive impact based on BREC remaining in Henderson, the 5.0 times multiplier on the remaining $3.2 million payroll results in an annual $15.9 million positive local economic impact to the BREC offer which has zero value in the report. -Elimination of attorney fees and environmental liability at Station Two would save additional millions for the City by terminating ongoing litigation, which was valued at zero in the report. Mr. Berry reported that Big Rivers would be glad to assist and provide industry expertise for long-range assumptions, but would need access to HMPL’s information including long-term supply contracts, etc. In summary, “Is the City concerned that assumptions in the Consultant’s report contradict what HMPL is saying or doing?” relating to financing with debt the new facility, rate freeze, increase of PILOT; and Station Two future costs. He concluded that after adjusting a couple assumptions based on empirical facts: -the few corrections clearly show the significant value of Big Rivers’ offer to the City (>$25 million) and – the few corrections clearly demonstrate that Big Rivers’ proposal will result in significantly reduced electric rates for Henderson’s residents and businesses (>$165 million). ________________________  82 CITY OF HENDERSON – RECORD BOOK Record of Minutes of A Regular Meeting on June 22, 2021 APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA: MAYOR AUSTIN asked the City Clerk to read the Consent Agenda.

This iconic fountain is 18 years old and chlorinated water, weather and time have just caught up with it.

Mark cleared, cleaned and recaulked the pool and it looks like most of the leak has been repaired. TRACE STEVENS, Parks Recreation, Cemeteries Director, reported that there have been some minor hick-ups with the required background checks for pool employees due to the age of these employees, parental consents for the background checks are required (and we were unaware of that requirement). We are back on track for anticipated opening of July 5th, or sooner if we get all of the pre-employment test results back earlier. ________________________ WILLIAM L. “BUZZY” NEWMAN, JR., City Manager, reported that the Riverfront Water Feature has been repaired many times over the years, however, this year we have lost two of the five circuits that operate the main pool feature due mainly to leaks that have caused the water level to go low enough to burn up the circuits. We have contacted the original subcontractor that put in all of the piping and will put together a scope of work to totally rebuild the feature to address these issues. We will come back with a guestimate, because no one knows exactly what we will find, to be presented at a future date. ________________________ COMMISSIONER’S REPORT: COMMISSIONER THOMAS thanked all the Handy Festival volunteers for all their hard work throughout the past year. ________________________ COMMISSIONER PRUITT agreed that the Handy Festival volunteers do a great job, and it reflects well on our community as a whole.
