PUBLIC HEARING None MINUTES Collins moved; Dixon seconded a motion to approve the February 25, 2025, BOMA Meeting minutes. There was no discussion. There was a unanimous vote to approve the minutes. Clary declared the motion carried. CITIZENS' COMMENTS The guidelines were read by Mayor Clary. Vicky Johnson of 4973 Cuba Landing Rd., Waverly, addressed the Board in support of raises for the Police Department. She shared her concern for the officers having to decide whether to stay employed with the City of Hendersonville or move to another agency that is paying more. Once gone, replacement can take months. She stated policing is not just another job; it is a commitment, a sacrifice, and a risk. She supports fair compensation for their service and sacrifice as concern for losing officers will soon lead to not having enough to keep the city safe. She asked the City leadership to show the officers they are valued by passing the ordinance tonight. Matt Elliott of 179 Bonita Parkway, Hendersonville addressed the Board on behalf of the Hendersonville Firefighters Association in support of all Public Safety and all City employees. He spoke about the difficulty he and other firefighters have had enduring some comments that have been said over the last few weeks regarding risks they do and do not MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11 , 2025 PAGE 3 take. While they willingly sign'up for the risks, he feels a divisive narrative has been created between HFD and HPD and that is not condoned. Support of the PD will continue. HFD and HPD are a strong unit when cohesive which not only benefits the employees, but the City and the citizens as well. Both jobs are dangerous. Firefighters' jobs are unpredictable as well. Mr. Elliott shared a few scenarios clarifying and making that point. Matthew Sigmund of242 W. Main St, Hendersonville, addressed the Board as President on behalf of the Hendersonville Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 63 in support of the Police pay raises. He began by ensuring Hendersonville remains one of the safest commW1ities in Tennessee. To be able to continue providing exceptional service that is expected and deserved, investment into the officers, supervisors, and detectives must be made. The officers love what they do, and they love Hendersonville, but many don't live here as they cannot afford it. While response times are fast and crime rate is low, they could be better and stronger if fully staffed. He asked the Board to pass the ordinance with no more delays, discussions, or amendments. Lisa Boyer of I 74 Maple Dr. addressed the Board by saying the backbone of Hendersonville are the Firefighters and Police Officers who serve the community to protect and ensure safety to the citizens, knowing that help is only moments away. While First Responders stand behind the citizens who rely on them daily, she questioned whether the First Responders can rely on the Board to stand behind them. She stated not only are the jobs physically demanding, but they are also mentally and emotionally exhausting. She shared firefighters have a significantly higher risk for cancer due to repeated exposure to hazardous materials, smoke, and carcinogens released from the fires. They not only face danger in the moment, but in the future. Many of the First Responders are underpaid and overworked having to take on extra shifts or second jobs because the City pay simply isn't enough. Ms. Boyer urged support of the bridge program. Charlena Aumi!ler of 143 Ruland Cir., Hendersonville, addressed the Board in support of the increase in wages but feels both Police and Fire First Responders are needed for the safety of the community. She referenced an article she read recently in which a 178-pound firefighter's weight increased to 325 pounds after all gear was on. She questioned the desire for anyone wanting to continue to put on that gear after age 55 or 60. She referenced comparisons that were made and while she didn't believe them to have been done well, she offered suggestions to use the $1 .2 million dollars smarter and try to fix something with it. She suggested making fewer steps between promotions. She expressed she has no problem with her tax dollars going to garbage, public service, and especially Police and Fire. She desires the Police to have their wages and to be able to attract talent, but she also wants to make sme the firefighters are taken care of. She agrees with looking at the bridge program and perhaps something needs to happen at the state level between Fire and Police. She stated the health insurance needs to be looked at as well and wants every level of City employee taken care of She stated she would appreciate the salaries to be reflective of the annual salaries for even the Executive level. CONSENT AGENDA None MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 2025 PAGE4 ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS The caption was read for second reading of Ordinance 2025-02, an ordinance amending budget ordinance 2024-08 to reflect mid-year adjustments to the City's 2025 Fiscal Year budget. Clary moved; Dixon seconded a motion to approve Ordinance 2025-02. Goodwin moved; Skidmore seconded a motion to amend the ordinance to add back the 7.5% increase for Lieutenants and Commanders. Sasse inquired what would be needed to take the ordinance back to how it was originally presented. Mayor Clary explained the options. Collins inquired whether the original ordinance proposal was for Lieutenants to have 7.5% increase and Commanders to have 2.5% increase. Director Ingersoll verified that was correct. Collins inquired whether the 7.5% increase for Lieutenants and 2.5% for Commanders result in any single Lieutenant making more than any Commander. Police Chief Jones responded it would result in some Lieutenants making more than Commanders. Collins inquired whether 5% for Commanders would result in the same situation. Chief Jones stated it would. Roberson stated he didn't have an issue with the amendment, but he inquired of COO Eckemoth on how it could be accomplished and whether other ways were looked at to make sure a Sergeant wasn't making more than a Lieutenant and a Lieutenant was not making more than a Commander, other than an across the board pay raise. Were adjustments of pay grades looked at as opposed to an across-the-board change. Eckenroth responded they looked within the existing pay steps. Previously there were 18 pay steps; the goal is to reduce the number of steps. For example, if 3 steps were to be added to a Lieutenant or Commander salary grade, that wouldn't address the issue at hand and wouldn't be in line with the effort to reduce the number of steps. It would also add complexity to the system. One-time payments were looked at as well, but it created a lot of issues, and it isn't as clean. Roberson inquired on the fiscal impact of Goodwin's amendment to which Director Ingersoll responded for the mid-year it is roughly $27,000.00 with an annual impact of $89,000.00. Clary assured Roberson money was not needed to be added for the amendment because of the two-week delay on the mid-year budget amendment. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11 ,2025 PAGE S Roberson further inquired if the action was taken, would it result in any Commander making more than the Deputy Chief to which Eckenroth responded no. Evans stated if the ordinance is going to be amended again, he prefers to go back to the original proposal. Goodwin and Skidmore withdrew the motion and second to add back the 7.5% increase for Lieutenants and Commanders. Goodwin moved; Skidmore seconded a motion to amend the ordinance back to the original proposal heard two weeks ago whlch adds back the 7.5% increase for Lieutenants and 2.5% increase for Commanders, Assistant Chief, and Chief. Sasse inquired if Goodwi.n's amendment also removed the $27,000.00 appropriated for the bridge program. Clary explained Goodwin's current motion did not include taking out the wording that affects the bridge program which he verbally verified with Goodwin. Collins stated that she believes Goodwin's withdrawn motion was the correct way to go as it addresses the compression issues to avoid Sergeants potentially making more than Lieutenants and Lieutenants potentially making more than Commanders. Clary added that while some compression issues are being created, other compression issues are being resolved. But the result is an urgent situation is being focused on. Resolving the compression issues isn't an urgent situation. The Finance Committee along with the Mayor, COO Eckenroth, and Finance Director Ingersoll, will be addressing the compression issues. The sixteen (16) vacancies are the most urgent situation at hand. Goodwin inquired how many Lieutenants would be making more than Commanders with the 2.5% increase. Discussion moved on to Roberson while obtaining the information to Goodwin's question. Roberson stated that it has been said regarding Goodwin's original amendment that a Commander will not be making more than the Assistant Chief or Chief. Director Gallo answered Goodwin's question stating with the 7.5% increase for Lieutenants and 2.5% increase for Commanders there will be three (3) Lieutenants making more than two (2) of the Commanders. Roberson clarified with Gallo that with a 7.5% increase there would not be any Sergeants making more than Lieutenants. Gallo stated that was correct Roberson inquired with a 7.5% increase to the Commanders what would be the difference between the upgraded Commanders position and the Deputy Chief. Gallo responded currently there is a 31 % difference in pay and there would be no Commanders making more than the Chief positions. Collins inquired as to the number of Lieutenants and Commanders on staff. Clary answered there are five (5) Lieutenants and three (3) Commanders, and all those positions are currently filled. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 2025 PAGE6 The motion was approved with eight (8) ayes, and four (4) nays from Collins, Garton, Goodwin and Roberson. Clary declared the motion carried. Clary stated there have been some changes since the mid-year budget amendment was developed eight weeks ago. Unanticipated revenues have come in and some expenditures have been more defined resulting in an additional $23,000.00 in the General Fund. Clary moved; Dixon seconded a motion to amend the ordinance to include the eight items as detailed in Exhibit A. Sasse asked if the $27,000.00 appropriation for the bridge program would eliminate the $23,000.00. Director Ingerson explained with the previously passed amendment and the updated changes in Clary's proposed amendment the result would be a $4,000.00 deficit. Evans asked Director Lock for clarification on the Eagle View Project Design Services expenditure as to whether the $115,000.00 was just for design or for the whole project. Director Lock stated it was just for design. Evans inquired about the total cost ofthe project. Director Lock stated good estimates had not yet been obtained because of needing the funds before a contract could be signed, but her guess would be at least $400,000.00. As persons on the prevailing side, Dixon moved; Clary seconded a motion to reconsider the previous amendment just passed regarding the pay increases. Roberson clarified the motion to reconsider would allow the possible discrepancy of Lieutenants making more than Commanders to be discussed. Skidmore asked for a Point of Parliamentary Inquiry stating the amendment to the motion is what was previously voted on, not the original motion itself. He stated discussion can take place on the motion without having a motion to reconsider since the original motion has not been voted on, then another amendment can be made if so desired. Clary responded Skidmore would be correct if there was a difference in what was wanted, but the request is 100% to reconsider what was previously voted on. Because the Clary and Dixon's motion to amend the ordinance to include the eight items as detailed in Exhibit A has not yet been voted on, Dixon and Clary withdrew the motion to reconsider until after the vote. Roberson clarified with Director Lock that the current budget allocation for the Eagle View Project is $94,200.00 which was a result of drawing the bond the developer put on the property. He further stated the developer had made a commitment to the City that as long as the zoning for this development was approved, the bridge would be bujlt. Director Lock stated that was correct as it was part of their approved site plan. Roberson continued by asking Attorney Wray what the legal obligation for the developer was to fulfill his contractual agreement. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 2025 PAGE ? Attorney Wray responded the City's belief is the developer is fully liable and the City will be pursuing that to the extent that there are any monies paid over the amount of the bond that was called. Roberson asked for clarification of what exactly was being done to the bridge. Director Lock explained there was never an approved structural design to supplement the site plan. That portion was never completed and there was never a driveway permit issued by TDOT or access permit. The design process must be initiated for a structural design of the bridge. There will either be an extension or a replacement. There are additional items that need to be closed out such as final paving of topcoat and the detention pond needs to be certified. There are outstanding items that typically a developer would be responsible for when closing out a subdivision. Roberson asked if the developer had paid any voluntary impact fees to which Director Lock responded she was not aware of any. Roberson asked what happened as to why the required bond was not set at a higher amount. Director Lock explained when the estimate was done in 2017 the numbers used to estimate sureties were much lower, then you compound that with going through 2020 with inflation and the doubling of construction costs. Roberson requested of Eckenroth to make sure that in the future sufficient bonds are collected from the developers in case they walk away from the project. Director Lock assured Roberson that the bridge was safe to travel. It is not wide enough to provide the proper safety measures that TDOT or the City would require for additional houses. As an added note, the City Engineer updates the surety rates annually based on TDOT unit pricing and what is seen with the City's contracts. Roberson addressed Eckenroth regarding the insurance recoveries as to what portion of the $1. l million did insurance cover. Director Ingersoll explained the $750,000.00 of revenue in the current budget was from the flood and tornado from last fiscal year and the $350,000.00 ofrevenue is the estimate of what is expected to come from insurance. The next item in question was the $460,000.00 expenditures for flood repairs. Director Ingersoll stated currently it is estimated that just over $100,000.00 will not be covered by insurance. Clary asked if the developer of the Eagle View Subdivision has been prevented from building additional houses. Director Lock stated there has been a hold on outstanding building permits for that subdivision for over a year. They cannot be completed until the City releases them and that is dependent upon Attorney Wray's advisement. There was a unanimous vote to approve the motion. Clary declared the motion carried. Dixon moved; Clary seconded a motion to reconsider the previous amendment passed regarding the pay increases. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 2025 PAGES Clary stated because Dixon's motion is changing the previous amendment, it should be a motion to amend. Dixon moved; Collins seconded a motion to amend the ordinance by increasing the pay increase for Commanders from 2.5% to 7.5%. Collins withdrew her second and Garton made the second needed. Sasse inquired of the cost of the 7.5% increase for Commanders. Director Ingersoll quickly calculated it to be around $8,000.00. Roberson asked Chief Jones if Lieutenants making more than Commanders would cause issues. Chief Jones unequivocally responded it would. He doesn't believe there is any situation where a subordinate should be making more than the supervisor. Roberson requested of the Mayor and Eckenroth that the compression issue be looke-d at across all departments for the upcoming fiscal budget. Roberson further inquired of Chief Jones whether there would be a problem if the Assistant Chief and the Chief were not given the 2.5% raise and would there be any Commanders making more than the Assistant Chief. Chief Jones responded there would be no Commanders making more than the Assistant Chief. He noted that with the vacancies there is more than enough in the Police Department salary line to cover raises from Officers all the way to Chief, answering Roberson' s question that be believes the raises should go all the way to the top. Skidmore noted that since the Board's inception the pay scale has always been an argued topic. The Board wants to do the right thing and knows that the Police deserve it. Skidmore questioned whether the Board is doing enough. There was a unanimous vote to approve the motion. Clary declared the motion carried. Sasse committed to looking at all departments and administration in the upcoming budget year to make things right across the City. Tough decisions wilJ have to be made for what is wanted and what needs to be done. He spoke about an upcoming resolution inviting TCRS to come to the City and present the bridge program to the Public Safety employees. Depending on the interest in the program, the results of an anonymous survey will be taken into consideration to see if it can be added to the next budget. Sasse moved; Evans seconded to amend the ordinance to remove the $27,000 for the bridge program research. Clary expressed his concern with the removal as a commitment was made to the Fire Department to study the bridge program. In addition to TCRS, he would like to see an independent study from a third party. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 2025 PAGE 9 Burgdorfrespectfully disagreed with Clary's assessment and trusts Roberson's opinion since he is a member of TCRS and is in support of Sasse's amendment. There was a tie vote with six (6) ayes and six (6) nays from Dixon, Garton, Goodwin, Skidmore, Ward and Clary. Clary declared the motion failed. Clary noted in reference to the pay tables located beginning on page 20 of the packet, that because of the amendment to Exhibit A tonight, those tables should be adjusted line by line. Instead, he asks that Eckenroth, Gallo, and Ingersoll deliver those to BOMA in two weeks and BOMA will Receive and File the updated pay tables. As a Point of Clarification, Sasse noted that BOMA would not be included in the COLA raises. Attorney Wray stated they are not included, but the Mayor is as he is a benefited, full-time employee of the City. Clary noted on pages 14-17 of the packet the only change made was the increase to Lieutenants and Commanders of 7.5% and the increase to Assistant Chief and Chief of 2.5%, sticking with I0% raises for the other Police Officers, Sergeants and Corporals and 1% increase for all the other benefited employees in the City. There was a unanimous vote to approve Ordinance 2025-02 as amended. Clary declared the motion canied. Goodwin moved; Garton seconded a motion to take a 10-minute break. The motion was approved with eight (8) ayes, two (2) nays from Sasse and Ward and two (2) abstentions from Martin and Skidmore. Clary declared the motion carried. Meeting resumed at 8:57 pm. The caption was read for Resolution 2025-05, a resolution to apply for the Local Parks and Recreation Fund (LPRF) Grant for various projects in the city's parks. Garton moved; Roberson seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2025-05. Parks Director Gilley addressed the Board explaining this LPRF Grant will allow completion of a wide variety ofprojects in Drakes Creek, Mallard Point, Memorial, Sanders Ferry, and Veterans Parks. It wilJ enable deferred maintenance items to be addressed as well as deal with some infrastructure issues. The cash portion should be coming from the PIPP Fund. Collins inquired what the chances are of being awarded the grant. Gi1ley responded he felt the chances of getting at least a potion of it was good. This is the first time that cities have MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 2025 PAGE 10 been allowed to apply while they are still in the middle of another LPRF Grant project. Roberson stated the City had previously been awarded an LPRF Grant for Heritage Park and questioned the status on it. Gilley stated they were about a week out from beginning the design phase and expects that to take five (5) or six (6) months. The project will then go out to bid with construction being anticipated to begin late fall or winter. Roberson asked Gilley to report on the condition of the Parks after the most recent flood. Mary's Magical Place will need a thorough cleaning. After that a couple of pieces of equipment will be pulled to see if they can be fixed or if they will require replacement. There was some fencing damage at Mary's Magical Place, but if faired much better than last year' s flooding situation. It is currently opened after having been closed a few days for insurance to come and evaluate the damage. With this year's flood the damages are estimated around $300,000.00 - $400,000.00 compared to last year's damages which were around $1 million. Insurance is not covering an area at the baseball/softball fields where spectators sit that sustained damage and two sections of the Greenway at Drakes Creek with one section washing away and one buckling. Goodwin expressed her thanks to Gilley and staff for their persistence in applying for grants. Garton stated she was able to take a tour of the Parks and there are great projects on the list. She asks for all the Board to support this resolution. There was a unanimous vote to approve Resolution 2025-05. Clary declared the motion carried. The caption was read for Resolution 2025-10, a resolution to provide additional guidance for the 2025-2035 Transportation Capital Improvement Plan. Roberson moved; Dixon seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2025-10. Sasse asked for a Point of Clarification on #4 and whether that included eminent domain. CJary responded that it did. Sasse moved; Martin seconded a motion to amend #4 on the resolution to read after "federal law" add "however should eminent domain be necessary in any instance it shall be first be approved by BOMA." Clary spoke to the amendment by stating if it passes, all work on every project in the Transportation Plan will be stopped. He suggested a better amendment might include the specific projects in your ward that you want to have final say on eminent domain. He further explained that there was no reason to give staff the go ahead to move forward on the projects in the Transportation Plan if eminent domain was not agreed to be used. At some point there could be negotiations and if there is no certainty that the property can be secured, there is no point in moving forward on the project. There would be no wasting of MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 2025 PAGE 11 money on City resources, doing engineering and environmental studies and even applying for grants. Clary stated he could not vote for this motion. Burgdorf questioned whether the main motion would prohibit any of the projects' priority being changed. Robertson clarified this resolution was an implementation resolution, not a funding mechanism. Funding will come when the Mayor or Board puts a specific project in the budget. If there is a project that one doesn't want to approve, the objection can be made at the time the budget is approved. Collins stated while she was not ready to give complete agreement to eminent domain, she was not totally again.st it. She would like to see maps of the projects to see what land was going to be needed. Without having that additional information, she is not ready to give the go ahead on eminent domain. Clary stated it is hard to know exactly what land is going to be needed until the engineering is done. lfthe Board says to do the design work and then we'll decide if we want to acquire the property, that means a lot of money will be spent. He is not going to waste the City's money with that approach. If the Board is not willing to allow all legal avenues to move forward then it doesn't make sense to tell staff to apply for grants, put the City's credibility on the line and spend time with engineers. Skidmore voiced his support of the resolution and pointed out the importance of the committees' roles in local government. Burgdorf inquired whether significant events would create changes in the number in line of projects. Clary clarified they are not strictly numbered. Sasse stated his amendment is not an attempt to halt the projects. It is to make sure that if eminent domain is used, it's for the good of the whole City. He asked Attorney Wray if decisions regarding eminent domain would have to come to the Board. Attorney Wray stated that the City Charter gives authority to do that, but it may be advisable to get BOMA approval. The amendment failed eight (8) to four (4) with voting as follows: Aye: Burgdorf, Evans, Martin, and Sasse. Nay: Collins, Dixon, Garton, Goodwin, Roberson, Skidmore, Ward, and Clary The motion was approved with ten (10) ayes, and two (2) nays from Martin and Sasse. Clary declared the motion carried. The caption was read for Resolution 2025-12, a resolution expressing the opposition of the City of Hendersonville to State efforts to restrict or preempt local land use decisions. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 2025 PAGE 12 Roberson moved; Dixon seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2025-12. Roberson explained that legislation has been filed in the State General Assembly that would preempt some aspects of the City's local zoning authority and urged the Board's approval. In the past, those types of decisions have been delegated to local governing bodies. Burgdorf asked to see the documentation of the legislation that has been filed in the General Assembly. Roberson explained the City received notification from our consultant of the filing of the bill. Clary further explained it is multiple pieces oflegislation and part ofthe problem is some of the sponsors have yet to put the text to paper. The process entails a bill being filed (a Caption Bill) without much text. It works its way to a subcommittee where it is amended significantly and that's the point that you truly find out what is in the bill. Clary expounded on a couple of other bills that have been filed that the consultant has made the City aware of. Without objection, Martin, Sasse, Dixon, Skidmore, Goodwin, and Garton were added as sponsors. There was a unanimous vote to approve Resolution 2025-12. Clary declared the motion carried.
