Ritterbeck shared that Music City Studios and Costco are moving forward. Ritterbeck answered questions from Roberson regarding what he felt was the largest impediment of businesses relocating to Hendersonville. He stated the unknown process of permitting. A landing page, a workflow of sorts, outlining the process, applications, fees, and details contained in each would be a great aid. Director Free and he are currently working within Energov to create that. He does not consider land to be an issue. Director Free explained how the G.I.S. will be beneficial. Not only will it provide economic development data, but it will provide many layers of information including land use and financial data. This system will be a “living document” as it will update daily. The pilot area of the G.I.S. will be the Westlake Plan area. Eventually it will encompass the whole City. The G.I.S. database is being created in-house and will interface financial data using Munis software currently in place, the Energov system, and the professional mapping information managed by JP Finnegan, G.I.S. Technician for the City. No date has been set for rolling out the G.I.S. but it is moving at a quick pace.

Paving has been promoted, as well as Beautiful Hendersonville and their nomination process. LaMarr encouraged the Board to create their own posts on their personal social media page(s) or Ward page(s) and share the information with their constituents. Currently the following is not very large, and growth of Facebook and Instagram followers is desired. It is a great platform to get messages out when needed.

STAFF REPORT REPORT PREPARED BY: Jesse Eckenroth-COO BACKGROUND: 1 On March 3, 2024, sustained high winds caused damage throughout Sumner County and the State of Tennessee. The City of Hendersonville suffered from wind damage in the form of downed electric lines and trees throughout the city and various damage to city buildings and parks. DISCUSSION: 2 City buildings and parks are insured through Public Entity Partners (PEP). The city has begun the process of gathering quotes to repair the work, the bulk of the insurable damaged has occurred at the city parks. The Parks Department has met with the insurance adjuster and various contractors to facilitate the repair work caused by the wind damage. The city budget did not account for “unknown” damage and we must appropriate funds to facilitate the repair work. The repair work is insured and will net out to the deductible cost of the insurance policy. The total cost of the repair work is being determined, but our initial estimate is $275,000, subject to change as all actual work is completed. FISCAL IMPACT: 3 The fiscal impact will net out to the insurance deductible of $1,000 per occurrence, plus any work we perform outside of the insured loss. We are estimating $275,000 of expenditures and $274,000 of revenue for a total cost of $1,000. If we are required to file separate claims for different facilities or types of damage the deductible will be $1,000 per claim. ATTACHMENTS: 4 N/A 12 ORDINANCE 2023-06 Sponsor: Clary AN ORDINANCE RESTRUCTURING BEAUTIFUL HENDERSONVILLE, INC.

It is the desire of the City to reorganize under its purview Beautiful Hendersonville as with other City Boards and Commissions, to accept his financial funds on hand and appropriate said funds to Beautiful Hendersonville in order to improve conformity, accountability and efficiency: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Hendersonville, Tennessee that Beautiful Hendersonville is hereby reorganized under the City’s purview, that any funds on hand for Beautiful Hendersonville is hereby accepted, and these funds are appropriated for Beautiful Hendersonville to be used according to its mission and purpose. This ordinance shall take effect at the earliest date allowed by law.

WRAY, Interim City Attorney 13 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY Ordinance 2023-06 Sponsor: Clary Committee: General Date of Committee Meeting: April 11th, 2023 Committee Recommendation: Yes First BOMA Reading: April 25th, 2023 14 DATE: April 25th, 2023 ORDINANCE/RESOLUTION # Ordinance 2023-06 That the Board of Mayor and Alderman consider Ordinance 2023-06, to officially dissolve the incorporated SPECIFIC REQUEST/ RECOMMENDATION: status of Beautiful Hendersonville, Inc. and recognize STAFF Beautiful Hendersonville as an unincorporated city board under Title 2 of the city’s municipal code. REPORT REPORT PREPARED BY: Jesse Eckenroth-COO BACKGROUND: 1 Beautiful Hendersonville, Inc. was authorized, by BOMA, to form as a Tennessee non-profit corporation, in 1979. Non-profit incorporated status requires an annual filing with the Tennessee Secretary of the State. In 1991 the corporation was deemed inactive by the state as the annual filing process was not fulfilled. DISCUSSION: 2 Beautiful Hendersonville is an active and thriving board making positive impacts throughout the city. There is no benefit to reviving the non-profit incorporated status and annual filing since the board is under the umbrella of the City of Hendersonville. Placing Beautiful Hendersonville under the umbrella of BOMA eliminates the need to submit an annual filing, eliminates the need for separate bank accounts and will encourage the consistency of operations when new members come on board. FISCAL IMPACT: 3 There is no associated cost to the city. The existing account balance for Beautiful Hendersonville, Inc. will be transferred to the city’s banking account and earmarked for Beautiful Hendersonville activity, approximately $7,000.00. The Beautiful Hendersonville budget will be determined on an annual basis via the city’s annual budget process.

The objective is to help businesses hire staff. STAFF REPORT REPORT PREPARED BY: Jamie Clary BACKGROUND: 1 Many businesses have a difficult time hiring staff in Hendersonville. Our city does not have a rich labor pool. Some business operators have criticized the city’s restrictions on signs as a hurdle in hiring. Many businesses would like to advertise they are hiring on signs that are illegal. Last year BOMA relaxed those restrictions for one month as a way to help those businesses. This resolution will do the same in May of this year. DISCUSSION: 2 All signs must pertain to hiring. They can be temporary ground signs or banners. They may be placed longer than the current restrictions allow. The time they are up will not count toward the total number of days that such signs are allowed on a piece of property.
