Columbia City Council report, March 4, 2013 regular meetin In last night's March 4, 2013 City Council meeting:
By Ed Waggener At last night's City Council meeting, it was announced that the stalled water line rehabilitation work in Columbia, under contract to Southern Backhoe of Campbellsville, KY, will back on track with the company's bonding company taking charge. The bonding company, working with the Columbia/Adair County Utilities District (CAUD) will hire a replacement to continue the work. Upgrading the Columbia water and sewer line were a major negotiating point when the merged water district was created, in ceding City of Columbia assets to CAUD. That merger, while working well in the honeymoon months, is getting hard second looks, second guessing as the resolve of current CAUD board members to fulfill those pre-nupt promises may to be waning. Garbage rates may be going up Mayor Harris gave a heads up that there may be an increase in garbage rates. He announced that a review is underway and recommendations will be forthcoming in the future. Council OK's Mayor's recommendation to lease, not sell, bypass property Mayor Harris recommended a lease agreement be made between the city and county regarding property located on Jim Blair Road which had been discussed earlier for possible sale. Mayor Harris said that since the property was a gift to the city, he felt it should not be sold, but rather be leased. There is a need by the county for extra space. Councillor Dr. Ron Rogers moved that an earlier decision to advertise the property for sale, seconded by Councilman Dean and the vote was unanimous. Councilman Rogers then moved Mayor Harris be authorized to lease the property to the County for the purpose of growing a garden for inmates for a period of two years with a second by Councillor Robert Flowers. All council members voted yes except for Councillor Charles Grimsley, who abstained due to being on the Parks board. City approves new street name: Majestic Way Justin Bailey, Adair County 911 Mapping and Addressing coordinator, requested an address change for the Majestic Yachts street address. He said this has been an issue since the bypass cut off Westwood Drive. He asked for consideration that the drive off of Bridgeport be named "Majestic Way." Councilman Rogers moved to make the address change as requested. Charles Grimsley seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Improvements on way in signage, safety Mayor Mark D. Harris announced a $3,000 grant from the Kentucky League of Cities which will be used for better signage and to alleviate safety problems. The council was also informed that the unused concrete posts around the Public Square in Downtown Columbia will be removed. Appointments Lisa Lasley appointed to Ethics Board Mayor Harris recommended the appointment of Lisa Lasley to the Ethics Board, term to expire December 5, 2016, replacing Debbie Jessie who no longer lives in the city limits. Councillor Craig Dean made the motion to appoint and Councillor Linda Waggener seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of Ms. Lasley's appointment. Charles Grimsley will be Council representative on Parks & Rec Mayor Harris recommended the appointment of Councillor Charles Grimsley as Council Representative to the Parks and Recreation Board, replacing Anthony Grider for a term to expire January 1, 2015. Councilman Rogers made the motion to appoint, seconded by Councillor Parson. Five councillors voted yes with Grimsley abstaining. Anthony Grider will remain on Parks & Rec Board Mayor Harris recommended the appointment of Anthony Grider to replace Charles Grimsley on the Parks and Recreation Board for a term which expires February 7, 2015. Councillor Waggener made the motion to appoint, seconded by Councillor Robert Flowers. The vote was unanimous.
