Clary declared the motion carried. CITIZENS’ COMMENTS The guidelines were read by Mayor Clary. Travis Kimmons of 173 Luna Lane addressed the Board as a citizen and an employee of the City since 2006 in support of increased pay, the bridge retirement program, and adjustments of the pay scale steps. He is currently serving as a Captain at Station 1. He spoke of concern for his employees’ physical and mental health due to the varying types of incidents they face daily. He spoke of the comradery with HPD and the unity they share. He asked one thought be remembered; Police and Firefighters are “relied on the same, compensated differently”. One profession is not harder or incurs more risk than the other. This line of thought is divisive, demoralizing, dangerous, and adversely affects the citizens’ public safety by pushing away decades of experience. Jamie Steele of 632 Hogans Branch addressed the Board in support of increased pay for firefighters. When he first started firefighting with the City in 1975, there was a difference in pay even then between HPD & HFD. Firemen were not held to the same standards as Police were in the State of Tennessee. In the 1990’s, Hendersonville began working on state certification that larger cities within the state were attempting to attain. Police are held to incredibly high standards and accreditations. Firefighters are as well. In 2004 recognition was finally made for all the hard work and certification that Fire had attained and there was parity with Police. The bar was raised to add educational attainment. A Fire Captain had parity with a Police Sergeant because their job descriptions were professionally reviewed and brought before the Board. Hendersonville Fire Department is one of the top fire departments in the Southeast. The greatest respect received from fellow firefighters in the field was that Hendersonville was able to say they had parity with Police. That brought tremendous pride to the Fire Department. The badges worn are equal, as servants to the Lord, citizens, and the City of Hendersonville. Matthew Johnson of 179 Bonita Parkway addressed the Board as a City of Hendersonville firefighter speaking on behalf of the Firefighter’s Association in support of increased pay and benefits for firefighters, stating Hendersonville is thriving and in a good financial position due to responsible fiscal management and sound economic decision-making. While the implementation of the apparatus replacement schedule and the PIPP fund has allowed for firefighters to be well equipped, investments need to also be made into the employees. The firefighters fully support the Police needs that were addressed at the mid- year budget, but other city employees deserve to be fairly compensated for their commitment and service. Enhanced benefits would also make the City a more desirable place to work. Mr. Johnson thanked the Board for the commitment to study the TCRS bridge program and for making Hendersonville be enviable as a place to work, live and thrive. 4 Ryan Chandler of 1166 Forrest Retreat Drive addressed the Board as a firefighter at House 5 and a member of the Local 3460. His focus was on turnover, retention, and compensation. He has served a total of eleven (11) years as a firefighter; six (6) with Hendersonville and five (5) with the City of Gallatin. He was drawn to Hendersonville with the opportunity for better pay, benefits and the chance to learn from experienced firefighters. He was seeking stability, growth, mentorship, and a pay increase. He shared numbers of staff vacancies, varying leaves, and future retirements ending with saying there were 32 firefighters off the road. Morale is low because of the strain of understaffing due to these multiple reasons. The City’s fiscal status is much appreciated, but he closed with urging the Board to address the issues of turnover, retention, and compensation. Greg Yandell of 110 Glen Leven Way addressed the Board in support of Ordinance 2025- 08. As a Hendersonville citizen, owner of Ace Hardware, and board member of the Chamber of Commerce, he agrees the spirit of the ordinance is needed, but the language may need to be adjusted. With long-vacated buildings and some in disrepair from the tornado 16 months ago, these serve as visible reminders of “disinvestment” in the City. There comes a point when a vacant building is no longer attractive to the commercial market and causes safety issues, decline in property values, and nearby businesses suffer. Mr. Yandell believes this ordinance gives the City a tool to engage with the business owners to address these issues before they get out of hand. He views the spirit of the ordinance not as a punishment, but to encourage stewardship. John Taylor of 110 Daniel Smith Drive addressed the Board regarding the condition his property has been left in after work for drainage issues was done. He stated perhaps the project is not complete, but currently his concerns are for safety, a headwall that was dismantled and is now coming down, issues with sod he had put down that is now gone, underground fencing for his mower is going to be fixed by the contractor, he no longer has access to the neighbors across the yard, and there is a lot of wash out. He invited someone to come look at the issues to see what can possibly be done to correct them. Keith Dennen of 135 Saranac Trail addressed the Board regarding Ordinance 2025-08. He stated he was an attorney who practices Real Estate Law among other areas. Upon review of the ordinance, he felt there were many problems with it. Upon being told it was based on a similar ordinance drafted and adopted in Jackson, TN, he researched further and found the Jackson ordinance exists as a part of a Central Business Improvement District. While Hendersonville does not currently have one, the West Main Corridor does satisfy the requirement. Jackson’s ordinance applies to a slum area which Hendersonville does not have. He stated there is no provision of implementation regarding notice to the affected owners which would be provided if it was a Central Business Improvement District. He defers to City Attorney Wray on whether a notice is required. He has found that people are not always aware of ordinances. He used an ordinance adopted in 1970 regarding minors in places of beer sales as an example of people not knowing it exists. Mr. Dennen suggested to the Board that notice should be given with an opportunity to comply. David Luckey of 110 Clarendon Place addressed the Board regarding Ordinance 2025-08. He owns several commercial buildings and thankfully all are currently leased. His concern is that building owners are going to have to pay for a few “bad actors”. He suggested attaching remedies to current ordinances or Codes ordinances and recommended 5 enforcement actions for those that violate the ordinances instead of creating a new one. To Mr. Dennen’s point, he feels commercial real estate agents and title attorneys are not going to know about it and thus not address it. He stated there is a big difference between a vacant building and an abandoned building. He suggested taking the vacancy restrictions off and go with abandonment language. While he does recognize West Main needs to be cleaned up, there are some occupied businesses that could use maintenance, and the proposed ordinance does not address that issue. He researched the origin of the vacancy and abandonment type ordinance and found it originated from San Francisco, moving on to Detroit and Austin, TX. Kody Sharman of 495 Albion Circle addressed the Board in support of the firefighters. He is a US Marine, stationed in Hendersonville in 2014. He was in a horrible motorcycle accident, citing he was almost cut in half, but because of the efforts of HFD with their skills and expertise, his life was saved. He wanted to put a face to everything they do and the skills they have and their impact on the community. CONSENT AGENDA Evans noted an error in the amendment section of Ordinance 2025-04. In Chapter 2, Section 12-102 should be 12-202. Attorney Wray stated it would be clerical as the error is at the top as the contents, but the actual code is correct. Garza moved; Goodwin seconded a motion to approve on Consent Agenda the second readings of Ordinance 2025-03, an ordinance amending the Hendersonville Municipal Code Title 7, to adopt a revised edition of International Fire Code, Ordinance 2025-04, an ordinance amending the Hendersonville Municipal Code Title 12, to adopt a revised edition of the Building and Maintenance Codes, and Ordinance 2025-05, an ordinance amending the Hendersonville Municipal Code Title 13, to adopt a revised edition of International Property Maintenance Code. There was a unanimous vote to approve the consent agenda items. Clary declared the motion carried. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS Evans asked to be removed as a sponsor from Ordinance 2025-06. Without objection, the request was granted. Clary entertained a motion to bring Ordinance 2025-06 and Ordinance 2025-07 off the table and defer them indefinitely. That would allow the sponsors of each to return those at any time. Collins moved; Evans seconded a motion to bring Ordinance 2025-06 off the table and defer indefinitely. 6 Discussion included Evans noting on Page 67 of the packet after First Reading [of Ordinance 2025-06] and on Page 74 of the packet after First Reading [of Ordinance 2025- 07], that it showed them as passed on first reading when they were tabled. Correction will be made. There was a unanimous vote to approve the motion. Clary declared the motion carried. Collins moved; Evans seconded a motion to bring Ordinance 2025-07 off the table and defer indefinitely. There was no discussion. There was a unanimous vote to approve the motion. Clary declared the motion carried. The caption was read for second reading of Ordinance 2025-08, an ordinance to amend Hendersonville Municipal Code, Title 12, Building, Utility, etc. Codes, relative to registration of vacant commercial and industrial buildings. Martin moved; Ward seconded a motion to approve Ordinance 2025-08. Clary noted the packet does not include the amendment made two weeks ago which changed Chapter 13 [found in Section 1] to Chapter 15 located on page 77 of the current packet, and on page 82 of the current packet the first sentence in Section 12-1506, (d)(3) now reads “The initial registration fee will be waived for twelve (12) months…” Attorney Wray sent out a version of the ordinance today with changes highlighted in yellow that was a combination of suggestions from Evans, Ward, and Roberson. Clary has some suggestions as well based on the email received last week from Mr. Luckey. Without objection, Ward was added as a sponsor. Ward stated the ordinance needs more work and he agrees with some of the citizens’ comments which need to be discussed or given more time to study. He briefly mentioned some specific items that were removed, but feels definitions are needed for vacancy and abandonment. Evans' changes included removing “a defined area of” from the first WHEREAS, striking the language “that resides in Sumner County, TN” [Chapter 15, Section 12-1501. Definitions 1)] and changing sixty (60) days to one (1) year [Chapter 15, Section 12-1505. Registration]. He agrees with Ward in that vacancy and abandonment each need to be defined and agrees with the spirit of the ordinance but is wondering if there are already ordinances in place that items can be added to address these issues as opposed to creating a new ordinance. 7 Director Free was asked about ordinances already in place that might address a lot of these issues. As far as unkept and unsightly properties and buildings in disrepair, he stated the International Property Maintenance Code was enforced through the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Officer in the Police Department. Clary inquired if there was anything the City could use now when there is a vacant building that doesn’t violate a zoning or codes issue that becomes an eyesore or dampens resources such as inviting the homeless, having parking issues evolve that aren’t allowed at that location, and constant vandalism. Director Free stated there is nothing that could address those things but could possibly address them after the fact. For example, if there was vandalism that degraded the exterior of the building, the City could send notice to the owner and if they didn’t make the necessary corrections there could then be a citation issued. If there is a vacant building and there are no code violations with the building itself or the site, no zoning or use violations, there is nothing in place to address the concerns Clary mentioned. Sasse expressed concern with striking the language of the authorized agent residing in Sumner County, TN fearing that was too wide of an area. He would be open to restricting it to those who reside in TN or within a certain mile radius. He felt 12-1505 Registration (b)(1) & (2) were repetitive. Clary explained the person of contact for each instance may or may not be the same person as the reason both were included. Burgdorf expressed concern of needing the terms “vacant” and “abandoned” defined before moving forward with the ordinance. Director Free suggested clearly defining vacancy as “vacant, also being there is no active Certificate of Occupancy or approved Use & Occupancy”. This ties an approved use to it. Burgdorf is unsure he can support it at this point. Martin questioned the removal of 12-1507 Vacant building plan (a)(2)(C) & (D) regarding lighting and a regular maintenance plan of lighting citing potential safety concerns. Ward addressed the question agreeing there could be a potential safety issue if there was no lighting, but the plan consists of simply changing the light bulb and didn’t feel that needed to be in writing. Evans moved; Ward seconded a motion to amend Ordinance 2025-08 with all the yellow highlighted language supplied by Attorney Lance Wray. There was a majority vote of ten (10) to three (3) to approve the motion to amend Ordinance 2025-08, with Burgdorf, Martin, and Skidmore voting nay. Clary declared the motion carried. 8 Roberson inquired of Attorney Wray whether the City had proper statutory authorization for the new chapter. Attorney Wray responded there is a preemption statute regarding the registration of landlords under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act meaning nothing can be changed or added to that act. There is not a preemption statute for this ordinance and as long as this would be interpreted to fall under the City’s police powers and regulatory powers for protecting the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, that would be the City’s authority. Attorney Wray continued that it would be on more solid legal grounds if it were more weighted to blighted and deteriorated buildings and feels vacancy needs to be better defined. Roberson proposed six (6) changes to the ordinance with detailed explanation and questions to Attorney Wray. Due to technical difficulties, Goodwin moved to take a five-minute break @ 8:30 pm, Dixon seconded. With a unanimous vote of approval, motion carried. Using the amendment with the yellow highlighted changes passed previously, Clary noted where each of Roberson’s proposed changes were located, temporarily omitting the citing of statutory authority. Roberson moved; Dixon seconded a motion to amend Ordinance 2025-08 with changes submitted by Roberson. Sasse expressed concern with the multitude of changes and not having the time to review the proposed changes. Skidmore expressed concern since the ordinance no longer reflects the one provided in the packet. He suggested referring it back to the General Committee or putting it off until a later BOMA meeting. Burgdorf stated he would like to see how the proposed ordinance lines up with the Property Maintenance Code passed earlier tonight in Ordinance 2025-05. Collins commented she has recently learned that commercial realtors do not use MLS except for land. If there is a building, they are not required to use MLS. There was a majority vote of seven (7) to six (6) with voting as follows: Aye: Dixon, Garton, Garza, Goodwin, Roberson, Sasse, and Clary. Nay: Burgdorf, Collins, Evans, Martin, Skidmore, and Ward. Clary declared the motion carried. Clary moved; Garza seconded a motion to amend Ordinance 2025-08 by changing the language in 12-1501 1) as follows: 9 1) “Authorized agent.” …to be responsible for the security and maintenance of the building and property, who shall have access to the building and property and who shall be available at all times during business and during nonbusiness hours in the case that an emergency occurs requiring immediate response and/or to make immediate repairs within forty-eight (48) hours”. There was a unanimous vote to approve the amendment. Clary declared the motion carried. Collins inquired of Director Free if there was anything in the current code or what was just adopted that deters repeated vandalism. Director Free stated not necessarily repeated vandalism but the results of the vandalism could result in a property maintenance violation of the International Property Maintenance Code. The original ordinance is about vacancy and abandonment. Collins further inquired as to what conditions a building would have to be in before the City could condemn and demolish it legally. Attorney Wray stated the building would need to be declared a nuisance and uninhabitable. There is statutory authority and City authority if it is a nuisance. Director Free offered the steps in the process prior to demolition being notification, citation if the issue was not addressed, then if still not addressed, declaration of a nuisance and a danger, then the City could take action. The City would have to have the money to afford the demolition then file a lien on the property to recover that cost. Collins’ further discussion included unintended consequences, the need to define vacant and abandoned buildings, the Fire and Police Chiefs needing to know which buildings have active alarms and utilities on, potential need for inspections, residential homes now zoned commercial smaller than 1,000 ft. should not have the same fees as an abandoned shopping mall, suggestion of a table reflecting square footage ranges with comparable fees, not only send back to committee, but also have a workshop. Burgdorf suggested if the ordinance goes back to committee, there be an ad hoc committee consisting of a chair, a vice-chair and another person to bring information back to the General Committee. Martin inquired of Wray whether there had been consideration of creating a Vacant Building Commission in order for the City to use the state statute to apply remedies to compel performance instead of creating this ordinance and whether a committee or subcommittee would help by reviewing on a case-by-case basis. Attorney Wray stated he had investigated that particular state statute and was not sure that the City would fall under the statute as it didn’t fall into the boundaries of the last subsection applying to certain counties based on population. He stated the commission would be a good idea to have as it would be more of a due process for property owners. 10 Clary recapped the next step items to be addressed at a workshop including the idea of a commission, citing the City’s statutory authority, agent response, differentiating between vacant and abandoned buildings, creating an appeal process for a building that has been declared vacant, and graduated fees based on the square footage. Skidmore moved; Collins seconded a motion to defer Ordinance 2025-08 indefinitely, to go to workshop, then General Committee. There was no discussion. There was a unanimous vote to approve the motion to defer Ordinance 2025-08 indefinitely. Clary declared the motion carried. Martin moved; Dixon seconded a motion to approve all the appointments and reappointments shown on the agenda except for Item #8 which was removed, as a group as follows: Appointments to the Hendersonville Lakeshore Committee a. The appointment of Robert Bertotti b. The appointment of Jeremy Hatcher c. The appointment of Angela Holmes d. The appointment of Alan Phillips e. The appointment of James Petersen Reappointments to the Hendersonville Art Council a. The reappointment of Rene Shepard b. The reappointment of William Clifford Reappointments to the Hendersonville Parks Board a. The reappointment of Mike Pike b. The reappointment of Thomas Golden c. The reappointment of Mahlon Hellman d. The reappointment of Jill Rathert Discussion included, upon Martin’s request, Dixon explaining the purpose of the Lakeshore Committee voted on in Resolution 2025-06 by reading the Staff Report that accompanied the Resolution. Evans expressed his appreciation to all the teams that put in extra work during the storms this past weekend. Additionally, while very appreciative of those wishing to serve on the committees and boards, he shared his concerns that all wards were not represented equally due to the redistricting of wards. He expressed concerns with representation on the Lakeshore Committee, and asked for Clary’s assurance that his appointments would 11 include at least one person from Ward 2 or Ward 5, as Wards 1, 2, 4, and 5 are touched by the shoreline and have representatives already from Wards 1 & 4. Clary added that he and Dixon have looked at diversity in the interests of the individuals who have applied so several areas of lake use can be represented. Dixon shared the number of individuals on the committee for each ward. Evans continued that the Art Council has representation from all wards. While the Parks Board does have representation from each ward, he expressed concern that one-third of the representation was from Ward 4. Clary explained with his appointments he tries to bring those who have recreational experience and can bring something to the Parks Board that perhaps there is no perspective on. Dixon added that while she appreciates the representation concern, she views the Parks Board as more parks oriented as opposed to ward oriented. Evans responded he views it differently and used the example of his own Ward 6 as only having one representative, but four (4) parks in Ward 4. There was a unanimous vote to approve all appointments and reappointments as listed above. Clary declared the motion carried.

Parks flooded, trees down. NES originally had 60,000 customers without power, currently there are 500. Over 60 poles were broken. Parks and Public Works will be busy cleaning up. The limb crew will be collecting on the regular routes as well as the storm routes. • Parks is still recovering from the last storms. It takes a lot of people to get through storm events starting with Police, Fire, Parks, Public Works, then Finance, who does all the paperwork for the FEMA reimbursements. . • Paving in April – 5 lane miles. • Sales Tax is up $73,000 over February 2024 and up approximately $865,000.00 year over year. • General Fund Operating Expenditures are up significantly for February, but only 1% over for the year. • PIPP Fund updates • Police calls remain on trend with previous years. The increase seen is because the reporting of self-initiated calls is included. • Increase in LPR hits. Numbers now include every time the license plates help solve a crime as well as when having blue lights on them. This shows the effectiveness of the LPR cameras. • Multiple Parks events, Special Needs Egg Hunt at Mary’s Magical Place April 10. First Baptist Church’s Egg Hunt at Sanders Ferry Park. • Stormwater Projects are nearing 100% completion for the 23 budgeted projects for this year. • Casey LaMarr gave awareness of a mock DUI event at Hendersonville High School in conjunction with TriStar Medical Center involving Police and Fire and a Medivac helicopter. There will be lots of emergency vehicles. To avoid panic, homes surrounding the area will be visited in person to be made aware and flyers will be given out, a Code Red text will be sent to the peninsula area, schools have been sending notices out and notification will be put on the City’s social media. • TDOT Update on the Walton Ferry realignment is on the City’s website. • Bradford Berry Progress-GE’s legal has asked for a supplement to the Phase 2 report, and release of liability. It is still looking positive to get deed restrictions removed. They have also requested a survey which is being coordinated by Public Works. • Skidmore asked Eckenroth to look into Mr. Taylor’s situation that he spoke about 13  during Citizens’ Comments prior to the next Public Works Committee meeting. Appreciative of the TDOT updates • Roberson inquired about the Capital Projects ROW at Drakes Creek & Stop 30. He is aware appraisals have been received, and purchases have been made. When can construction be expected to start. Eckenroth responded that everyone has signed for the right of way acquisition. This involves a CMAQ grant so you must go through the federal process. No imminent domain issues. Seven (7) of the eleven (11) properties have closed. It will probably take six (6) months to complete the plans which are in motion. Roberson asked to discuss it at the next Public Works meeting. Roberson also mentioned the pros and cons of tornado sirens. Upon motion by Dixon and second by Garza there was a unanimous vote for approval to adjourn. Clary declared the meeting adjourned at 9:52 p.m. Approved: Jamie Clary, Mayor Attest: Tamara Ingersoll, City Recorder 14  RESOLUTION 2025-14 Sponsor: Clary A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A RELEASE OF DEED RESTRICTIONS AGREEMENT RELATIVE TO THE BRADFORD-BERRY PROPERTY WHEREAS, on December 13, 2023, HTPC, LLC donated certain real property to the City located at 250 East Main Street, between Maple Row Blvd and Maple Drive on the north side of East Main Street, identified on Sumner County Tax Map 159J, Group A, Parcel 021.19 (also known as the “Bradford-Berry property”); WHEREAS, the Bradford-Berry property deed contains certain deed restrictions placed by General Electric Company that have existed from as early as May 28, 1997, when the property was conveyed from General Electric to H.T.P.C. LLC by Special Warranty Deed and recorded on May 23, 1997 in Record Book 697, Pages 832-837, Register’s Office for Sumner County, Tennessee (the deed restrictions are listed on Exhibit B of the proposed Release Agreement attached hereto); WHEREAS, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), as well as a Phase II, Subsurface Investigation ESA has recently been performed on the Property, the results of which are to the satisfaction of General Electric and to the City, and General Electric agrees to release the Restrictions subject to the terms and conditions of the release agreement: WHEREAS, the City desires that the deed restrictions be released for the ability to use the property without the restrictions: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE, TENNESSEE, that the City hereby approves such a release of deed restrictions on the Bradford-Berry property, and hereby authorizes the Mayor to sign the attached Release of Deed Restrictions and Restrictive Covenants, subject to possible minor changes in language by legal counsel of the parties.

APPROVED: __________________________ JAMIE CLARY, Mayor ATTEST: _________________________________________ TAMARA INGERSOLL, City Recorder APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: _____________________________________ LANCE A. WRAY, City Attorney 15  Legislative History Resolution 2025-14 Sponsor: Clary Committee: General Date of Committee Meeting: April 8, 2025 Committee Recommendation: Yes BOMA Reading: April 22, 2025 16 DATE: April 22, 2025 ORDINANCE/RESOLUTION # Resolution 2025-14 That the Board of Mayor and Alderman authorize the SPECIFIC REQUEST/ Mayor to execute an agreement between the City and RECOMMENDATION: General Electric (GE) to remove deed restrictions on the STAFF Bradford Berry Property. REPORT REPORT PREPARED BY: Jesse Eckenroth – Chief of Operations BACKGROUND: 1 General Electric (GE) formerly owned and occupied the current Aladdin Building adjacent to City Hall and owned the adjacent Bradford Berry property at 260 East Main. GE placed deed restrictions on the Bradford Berry property excluding recreation type uses of the property. Deed restrictions run with the land and apply regardless of ownership. When GE owned the property GE had discretion to place deed restrictions on the property. Sale/transfer of property/ownership does not authorize the new owner to amend the deed restrictions; however, the party who originally placed the deed restrictions on the property has the legal authority to remove the deed restrictions. DISCUSSION: 2 The Bradford Berry property was donated to the city in 2023 when the property was approved for new development. The property owner separated the then one large parcel into several smaller parcels, the largest parcel being the 13+ acres donated to the city. The deed restrictions on the property limited the city’s potential use of the property. The city has been engaging with GE’s legal counsel to develop a path to remove the property’s deed restrictions. The city has conducted a Phase II environmental report, via Athena Consulting. The phase II report did not detect the presence of harmful conditions and was presented to GE without objection. As the city prepares to formally request removal of deed restrictions, GE has asked, amongst other ancillary items, for the city to prepare an agreement between both parties to identify future liability associated with the property. The draft agreement attached to Resolution 2025-14 identifies said liabilities. FISCAL IMPACT: 3 No budget amendment required and no foreseeable financial impact.
