Edwards motioned to approve the minutes for the October 11th PSC meeting; Collins seconded. Goodwin motioned to approve the minutes for the December 1st PSC meeting; Collins seconded. Resolution 2022-48 regarding the acceptance of a donation from a city resident for Public Safety and the Parks Department. An anonymous donor has offered to make multiple donations over the next few years to the City of Hendersonville, in particular the Parks Department and for Public Safety. The donor agreed to their $25,000 donation going to the Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni Association for the two police officers that are currently undergoing medical treatments. The donor also wrote another check for $25,000 for the Parks Department that will be discussed at a later time to decide what to put the money towards. Discussion of a Fleet Replacement Policy. Chief Bush noted that if a new engine is ordered at the beginning of the year after the mid-year review, the manufacturer could use the custom plans from HFD’s last build. This would mean that the engine could be in the City’s possession by October/November of 2024 versus the usual three year build time. Eckenroth said that a 15 year replacement schedule for HFD apparatus (pumper trucks and ladder trucks) would be best for the city and still follow the national standard for replacement. This would mean a vehicle is used as a frontline piece of equipment for 15 years and then as a reserve for another 5 years. HFD’s other vehicles (Chiefs’, Fire Prevention, etc.) would not be on the schedule because they vary on how often they need to be replaced. Eckenroth proposed a possible budget of $613,000 per year for HFD fleet replacement. Chief Bush said that he will continue to apply annually for grants that can be used to help pay for vehicles, equipment, etc. to save the city money, as well. HPD presented a list for their fleet replacement schedule. HPD has more vehicles with varying uses and life spans, but there is not a national standard in place to follow. With that, it was proposed 3 that Admin vehicles would be replaced at 10 years in service, CID vehicles in 8 years in service, and Patrol vehicles at 5 years in service or at 100,000 miles. Patrol vehicles over 5 years old would then go into the reserve for officers to use while their assigned vehicle is out of commission or for the reserve officers to use when they are working. Chief Jones stated that HPD had 10 vehicles replaced at the beginning of the fiscal year and were scheduled to have 10 more replaced after the mid-year review. As of now, 57 HPD vehicles are scheduled to be replaced according to the proposed replacement schedule. Chief Jones said that for the last few years, the department has advertised for Public Bids instead of State Bids for the vehicles and had received better prices for the vehicles. Most CID vehicles are roughly $32-33,000 and Patrol vehicles are $38,000 plus $18,000 for equipment (light bars, LEDs, radios, cages/brackets, computers, etc.). Some of the equipment for the Patrol vehicles can be transferred from older vehicles, but it is not a guarantee. HPD has looked into leasing cars/SUVs instead of buying, but it would not be cost effective. HPD does lease their motorcycles so they would not need to be added to their Fleet Replacement Schedule. Eckenroth proposed a possible budget of $1.5 million per year for HPD fleet replacement and that there will be legislation written to incorporate a replacement schedule for HFD and HPD into the annual budget process. Goodwin motioned to adjourn the meeting; Collins seconded. Meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m. _________________________________________ ___________________ Russ Edwards, Chairman Date 4  ORDINANCE 2023-05 Sponsor: Clary AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING A STATE GRANT AND AMENDING FY 2023 BUDGET ORDINANCE 2022-11 BY APPROPRIATING $184,860.00 FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHEREAS, the City of Hendersonville Police Department has been awarded a non-matching grant from the Office of Criminal Justice Programs, administered by the State of Tennessee, Violent Crime Intervention Fund Formula Grant Program; WHEREAS, the City of Hendersonville will receive $184,860.00 in grant proceeds in total for a three year period, which is 100% of the grant awarded for the use of technology, training, and equipment; WHEREAS, these funds and all expenditures will be budgeted and appropriated as per the parameters and guidelines of the accepted grant; and WHEREAS, the City will be required to enter into an Agreement for the use of such funds: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE, TENNESSEE that Budget Ordinance 2022-11 is hereby amended so that grant funds in the amount of $184,860.00 are appropriated for the funding of technology, training and equipment for the Hendersonville Police Department in compliance with the grant agreement; and the Mayor is hereby authorized to sign such Agreement.

Jones BACKGROUND: 1 HPD applied for a non-matching grant for Violent Crimes Initiative Funding, funded by the Office of Criminal Justice Programs and administered by the State of Tennessee. Amount of funding was based upon a formula for each agency applying for, and meeting requirements of, the grant. It was determined that Hendersonville Police Department met the eligibility requirements and was selected for an award of funds. DISCUSSION: 2 HPD was awarded $184,860.00 over the three-year life of the grant. These funds shall be utilized for technology, training, and equipment, submitted by HPD, in compliance with the Violent Crimes Initiative parameters. OCJP approved the grant based upon HPD’s proposed expenditures. HPD intends to purchase software, security cameras, investigative tools, and officer safety equipment with these funds. In addition, HPD intends to provide additional specialized training to Detectives. FISCAL IMPACT: 3 There is no net impact to the General Fund; the revenue received through the grant will offset the expenditures. The budget needs to be amended to permit HPD to utilize the grant funds. HPD intends to spend approximately $17,000 the first year, $163,000 the second year, and $5,700 the third year of the grant.

If the General Assembly STAFF approves, BOMA will need to pass an ordinance to enact this. REPORT REPORT PREPARED BY: Jamie Clary BACKGROUND: 1 Several houses in Hendersonville are owned by large companies as rental units. Many of the companies have no employees or offices in Hendersonville. When tenants become repeat problems for police, codes, planning, or other staff, we have difficulty finding a person to contact. We would like to require the owners to provide a name and contact information. That information would be required annually. The owners will pay a small fee to register. The resolution must be passed by a 2/3 vote of BOMA for the General Assembly to consider it. DISCUSSION: 2 BOMA considered this resolution a couple years ago, but it failed to receive the 2/3 vote. Since then, more houses have been purchased by rental companies. And, the City recently had a second shooting at a rental house. Although that house is owned by a local person, the situation exemplifies the added services that rental homes often demand. FISCAL IMPACT: 3 The registration fee would be set to cover the expenses of registration and record keeping. It will not be set as a revenue source. The value of registration is having a name and contact information for rental houses.

REPORT REPORT PREPARED BY: Asst Chief James L. Jones BACKGROUND: 1 The United States Police Canine Association, USPCA, and the American Kennel Club, AKC, have partnered to assist member law enforcement agencies. As a part of that assistance, they offered to fund 50% of the next K9 purchased. The Hendersonville Police Department has received a check in the amount of $7500 to be expended in the next fiscal year toward purchase of a replacement K9. DISCUSSION: 2 HPD K9’s are assigned to each of the three Patrol shifts and are dual certified in both criminal apprehension, and in narcotics detection. The funds received will go toward the purchase and training of a K9 to replace one of our current K9’s that will be retiring next year due to age. FISCAL IMPACT: 3 Revenue in the amount of $7500 will increase the General Fund revenue. The net effect is a “reduction” in the cost of the planned replacement in next fiscal year’s budget. HPD had already planned for the retirement of the current K9 with the intent of requesting the replacement in FY 23-24.

STAFF REPORT REPORT PREPARED BY: Jesse Eckenroth, Chief of Operations BACKGROUND: 1 The city has a substantial fleet of vehicles amongst police, fire, public works and the parks department. Planning for the replacement of fleet vehicles has traditionally been addressed at the beginning of each fiscal year via the annual budget. The annual cost to replace vehicles and fire apparatus can be several million depending on the amount of the fleet that comes to the end of its useful life in a given year. DISCUSSION: 2 Developing a fleet replacement schedule provides a basis for budgeting, timing of vehicle replacement and can lend itself to a budget process that is more consistent year over year. The current annual cost to replace police vehicles is approximately $1,500,000, fire apparatus is approximately $620,000 on a 15- year replacement schedule and public works vehicles are approximately $220,000. FIRE DEPARTMENT - APPARATUS* Type of Apparatus Proposed Schedules Proposed Annual Cost 12-Year Schedule $ 778,333 Seven (7) fire engines, two (2) 15-Year Schedule $ 622,667 ladder trucks 20-Year Schedule $ 467,000 Cost of HFD apparatus in today's dollars 9,340,000 *7 engines, 2 ladder trucks, does not include Special Operations Vehicle POLICE DEPARTMENT – FLEET Type of Vehicles Proposed Schedule Proposed Annual Cost Admin, Dedicated Reserve Unit- K9 Reserve 10-Year $ 77,000.00 CID - SSB Personnel 8-Year $ 156,750.00 Patrol - Flex -ACO 5-Year $ 1,260,000.00 Total Annual Cost $ 1,493,750.00 Cost of HPD fleet in today's dollars $ 8,324,000.00 19  2 FISCAL IMPACT: 3 Resolution 2023-11 is specific to public safety apparatus and fleet. The annual cost for replacement, if using a 15-year schedule for fire apparatus and the 10, 8 and 5-year schedule for police is $622,667 plus $1,493,750, totaling $2,116,417. Public works, parks and other departments would add to the total based on the needs of the department.

STAFF REPORT Scotty Bush, Fire Chief REPORT PREPARED BY: Jesse Eckenroth, Chief of Operations BACKGROUND: 1 FEMA has opened the SAFER Grant process, detailed information can be found here, https://www.fema.gov/grants/preparedness/firefighters/safer. The Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants (SAFER) was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, "front line" firefighters available in their communities. The goal of SAFER is to enhance the local fire departments' abilities to comply with staffing, response and operational standards established by the NFPA (NFPA 1710 and/or NFPA 1720). For details, review the National Fire Protection Association's codes and standards DISCUSSION: 2 The SAFER grant is 100% paid in full by FEMA for a total of three (3) years. The Fire Department is not limited to where the additional firefighters could be stationed within the city; new firefighters would be spread across the various stations to maximize training and mentorship opportunities. Fire Station #7 is coming onboard in approximately 9 months. Firefighters throughout the city, including any new firefighters received via a grant, will be reallocated to account for the additional station. FY2023 Budget approved a total of 122 Fire Department staff, the ten-year staffing levels are as follows: • FY 2014 – 101 • FY 2015 – 101 • FY 2016 – 102 • FY 2017 – 103 • FY 2018 – 103 • FY 2019 – 122 • FY 2020 – 122 • FY 2021 – 122 • FY 2022 – 122 • FY 2023 – 122 The current average daily staffing for the City of Hendersonville fire suppression staff is 29.4, the minimum needed with six stations is 24. With the addition of Fire Station #7 a minimum of three (3) additional staff members will be needed for a total of 27 fire suppression staff. The current daily staffing levels of 29.4 exceeds the minimum threshold of 27 for all seven (7) stations, if the city runs one engine 23  RESOLUTION #2023-12 2 out of Fire Station #7. The City has a Special Operations truck that sits idle at Fire Station #3. If Station #7 staffs the Special Operations truck in addition to the fire engine the daily minimum staff would be 27+3 or 30. Thirty (30) fire suppression staff is in excess of the daily average of 29.4, three (3) additional fire suppression staff (one for each shift) should be obtained if BOMA elects to add a Special Operations crew to Fire Station #7. If we add 12 through the SAFER Grant it will keep the current operational level for HFD accounting for Kelly Days, vacation time, injuries, illnesses, training days or any other unforeseen time off needs. FISCAL IMPACT: 3 No fiscal impact for the first three (3) years however after the initial three (3) years the city would have to fund the positions. One position is expected to cost the city approximately $90,000 to cover salary and benefits. The table below provides a reference of the annual cost for firefighters. Annual Cost – After 3-Year Grant Period Expires 3 Firefighters $270,000 6 Firefighters $540,000 9 Firefighters $810,000 12 Firefighters $1,080,000 ATTACHMENTS: 4 • Resolution 2023-12 24
