Columbia City Council Special Meeting - 13 Mar 2018 REPORT In last night's City Council meeting
Click on headline for complete Council Report with a photo(s) By Ed Waggener The City Council voted last night to adopt a proposal recommended by Mary Ann Loy of the Sidewalk Committee begin sidewalk projects immediately, while authorizing Mayor Curtis Hardwick, who is also Chairman of the Board of the Lake Cumberland Area Development District to seek inclusion of the Dillon Street to the Adair County School District campus into the Transportation Cabinet's six-year plan. The council then voted to employ 1) Greg Eastham for engineering work on ramps and preparation for a ramp from the Joe Flowers property for a crossing of Greensburg Street to the Shuffett house at Dillon & Greensburg Street. 2) To take bids on ramp projects and repairs including sections of sidewalk along Greensburg Street toward town, a ramp at Jamestown Street and S Reed Street, and other areas curbs block unassisted wheel chair access. Loy said that the committee was choosing the request to follow Mayor Hardwick's suggestion sidewalk project into the State 6-year plan in part because of two property owners objections to the project. She said that if the state puts the project into its six year plan, they will be able to handle the easement questions as a routine matter, and that they might include curbing and guttering the project all the way from the Shuffett corner to the school campus. Mayor Hardwick reported that the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, at the Governor's direction, will be going to a 2-year plan, which might make the Greensburg Street Sidewalk project more likely to be built earlier than it might have been if the city proceeded on its own. The Council, on a motion by Councilor Pam Hoots, with a second by Linda Waggener, and Councilors Craig Dean, Craig Lasley, Ronald Rogers, and Mark Harris, unanimously approved the plan. City gets good news in 2016-2017 FY Audit Brent Billingsley, of the accounting firm of Campbell, Myers, & Rutledge, Glasgow, KY, presented the 2016-2017 audit report, which showed a very positive picture. Among the highlights he reported:
The audit report was the best in many years, Billingsley told the Council that the city's financial picture is "Stout," one of the best of any small community in the state. He attributed the turnaround to implementation of the payroll tax and new money from the city's alcoholic beverage board among other factors. Billingsley's audit was unanimously accepted on a motion by Craig Dean, with a second from Pam Hoots, and Councilors Linda Waggener, Craig Lasley, Ronald Rogers, and Mark Harris joining them in a 6-0 voice vote. Council approves resolution of a Memorandum of Agreement for Dohoney Trace The Council approved a resolution "adopting and approving the execution of a memorandum of agreement between the City and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Transportation Cabinet, Department of Highways in the amount of $39,375 for Dohoney Trace Project (CS-1201). The project extends from Hardee's to the Sleep Inn Hotel. Mayor Hardwick said that the grant was one of only two from Governor Matt Bevin's Contingency Fund, and credited State Senator Max Wise and Rep. John Bam Carney for helping secure the grant. The appoval came on a motion by Coucilor Ronald Rogers, with a second by Mark Harris, with Councilors Craig Dean, Linda Waggener, Craig Lasley, and Pam Hoots joining in a 6-0 vote to approve. Council approves request from the Green River Kruzers The Council approved a request from the Green River Kruzers for permission to use the Public Square for Cruse-Ins on the 2nd Saturday in May, May 12; the 2nd Saturday in June, June 9; and on Labor Day, Sepptember 3, 2018, for car shows from 1pm-4pmET each event.
