City Council report: 01 Aug 2016 Meeting
Click on headline for complete report By Ed Waggener The regular monthly meeting of the Columbia City Council was held at 6pmCT, Monday, 1 Aug 2016, in City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY, with council members present: Craig Dean, Linda Waggener, Craig Lasley, Dr. Ron Rogers and Charles Grimsley. Absent was Mark Harris. Mayor Curtis Hardwick opened the floor to Citizen Comments, always first on the monthly meeting agenda. New subdivision request for help with costs Mr. Greg Burton made a request for help with water and sewer tiling for the homes in the new subdivision he and his sons are developing on the former Conover property in the city. He said since all building costs more in the city because of regulations, he hopes there can be some help with expenses, and that it will also act as an incentive to more people to develop homes in the city limits. He said there has been no subdivision built in the city since 1961 and the added costs due to city regulations is the reason. That is yet to be proven, and no official motion was made by the council, but his request will be considered for this property that would apply equally to all future possible developments in the city. Burton said the name of the new 8-home subdivision will be Columbia Highlands. Maintenance to be done before Trabue Russell House event The historic Trabue Russell House maintenance needs were brought before the council by interested Community volunteer Vonnie Kolbenschlag. She requested these be done before the special event this fall in honor of donor Mr. Jim Blair when the public will be invited to tour the historic home of Daniel Trabue. After discussion, there was agreement to install a new commode and work on other bathroom maintenance needs as a priority. Additionally the plastic covering will be removed from windows to allow for cleaning of frames and curtains. A question was listed on Mrs. Kolbenschlag's informational hand out about the loom in the house which has been left on one of the display cases -- if anyone has information about the loom, who donated it, where it came from in the county, or might be able to provide other information about its background, please contact her through the city of Columbia at 270-384-2501. Mrs. Kolbenschlag praised Mayor Hardwick and City Clerk Rhonda Loy for their courteous assistance with requests concerning the property. Approval of bid for HVAC at the Jim Blair Community Center Motion to approve bid for HVAC at the Jim Blair Community Center, 901 Hudson Street, two bids were received: Wall Heating and Cooling, two Carrier brand 15-ton air conditioners with gas heat, $51,500; and Janes Heating and Cooling, two Bryant Systems brand 15-ton air conditioners with gas heat $35,000. The motion to accept the lower of the two bids (after the City Attorney assures that they are equal in details) was made by Councilmember Linda Waggener with a second by Councilmember Charles Grimsley and the vote was unanimous. The city will pay only one-half the cost of the HVAC. The other half will be paid by Adair Fiscal Court. Council tables proposal by Precision Concrete for minor tripping hazard repairs Sidewalk treatment to grind off any trip hazards on Greensburg Street Brandon Thacker with Precision Concrete made a presentation to continue repair work on city sidewalks. The company did a first time job on the Public Square, and a block around it, earlier this year. This job contract would take care of Greensburg Street minor - one-quarter inch or less - trip hazards. After discussion, a motion was made by Council member Rogers to table action so that further study could be made comparing the cost of owning the equipment vs hiring a contractor to do the work. After a second to the motion by Council member Grimsley who has researched the possibility of owning the equipment, the vote was unanimous. Mayor's Announcements< br> Mayor Hardwick read the letter from the Chamber of Commerce which detailed the upgrades made with the donation from the City to be used expressly on the Roadside Park on Hwy. 55 South. Council Comments Craig Dean: Asked that the new *contact person at the Jim Blair Recreation Center be publicized since the manager had resigned. He also commended the organizers of the Bull Run charity fundraiser held this past weekend. He said it was a fun time with many people coming together in the name of raising money to help others. *Editor's note: At the last meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board, announcement was made that the job of manager of the Center was open and applicants could contact Lisa Handy at 270-250-2411 or by email at Lisa.Handy@ky.gov. Linda Waggener: Asked for request of former Chamber of Commerce President Brenda Mann to be considered to removal of two parking spaces where Jamestown Street meets the public square -- in the name of pedestrian safety. She also asked that all citizens join her family on a safety campaign to stamp out mud puddles and places where standing water would attrack and breed mosquitoes -- since the spread of the Zika virus is growing in the US. Craig Lasley: Asked for consideration of the request from Mrs. Della Hughes that the Grady Loop have "children at play" signs placed in prominent places. Ron Rogers: Asked that everyone drive extra carefully as the start of school is coming up. He also gave a reminder of the letter to the city from resident Yvonne Marshall who wrote, in part, "... I wanted to give a big thank you for the promptness in removing and cleaning the street July 7th when a tree came down during the storm. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for their kindness. So often we take for granted those who keep their city and streets clean. Questions on this meeting or on any city issues may be directed to Columbia City Clerk Rhonda Loy at 270-384-2501. The public is encouraged to attend its regular monthly meeting each first Monday at 6pmCT in City Hall, 116 Campbellsville ST, Columbia, KY.
