There was a special meeting of the Flemingsburg City Council Tuesday, April 29^th, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Annex. Council members present were Ricky Hurst, Marty Voiers, Scott Manning, Georgianna Sparks, Meredith Story, and Van Alexander. Mayor Louie Flanery presided.

Councilman Story led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Chris Perry addressed Council regarding renewal of the contract with Fleming-Mason Service. Perry stated that Fleming-Mason Energy had decided to get out of the internet business and was currently in the process of negotiating a deal with Altius Communications out of Maryland. The new owners had requested a 5- year contract. Currently the internet service is using one tower on Mills Ave. and is providing service to the city at six locations in lieu of rent. Perry stated that the new owners have agreed to the terms of the current contract and once the deal is completed the contract with Fleming-Mason Service will revert to new owners. Councilman Voiers moved to continue the lease agreement with Fleming-Mason Service and set a period of 5 years commencing today (April 29, 2008). Councilman Story suggested adding an additional location in case another city department needed service at a later date. Perry said he thought that was fair. Councilwoman Sparks seconded the motion. All were in favor.

City Clerk Joy Roark presented the second reading of Ordinance No. 04-08-1 regarding Noise Regulations. Councilman Manning moved to approve. Councilman Hurst seconded the motion. A roll call was given with all voting in favor.

Mayor Flanery reported that Thompson Bros. had submitted the low bid of $24,500 plus $1,900 for stamping to replace the sidewalks on East Water St. The Thompson’s stated that they preferred pavers instead of stamped concrete because the color would be closer to the existing pavers and offered to pay half the cost of the pavers if the City chose them over the concrete. Mayor Flanery stated that using the pavers would increase replacement costs to $28,200, which was still less than the next lowest bid. Mayor Flanery also asked permission to do a 60’ area on the other side for $3,800. It was noted that the pavers and the additional 60’ area were not included in the original bid specifications and can be approved with a change order; due to the dollar amount a bid is not required. Councilman Story moved to accept the bid from Thompson Bros. of $24,500 plus $1,900 for stamped sidewalk work (total $26,400). Councilman Alexander seconded the motion. All were in favor.

Councilman Story reported that the Finance Committee had reviewed quotes from Humana, Anthem, and Bluegrass Family Health and recommended renewing the City’s health insurance coverage with Bluegrass Family Health and keeping the same coverage with the exception of the prescription card, which would change to 15/25/40. The committee also recommended that the City continue to pay 100% of the employee’s single coverage and 22% of the additional coverage. Councilman Voiers moved to approve. Councilwoman Sparks seconded the motion. All were in favor.

Councilman Manning moved to adjourn at 6:50 p.m. Councilman Story seconded the motion. All were in favor.
