The Flemingsburg City Council held a special meeting Friday, June 24, 2005 at 5:00 p.m. in City Hall.  Council members present were Carl Haight, Nancy Suit, Scott Manning, Meredith Story, and Robbie Graham.  Councilman Voiers was absent.  Mayor Louie K. Flanery presided.

 

            Councilman Haight led the Pledge of Allegiance.  City Clerk Joy Roark read a letter from Adelphia presenting their bid for the cable franchise.  Councilman Manning moved to approve the bid.  Councilman Haight seconded the motion.  All were in favor.

 

            Resolution No. 05-6-1 approving assignment of the franchise and cable system to Time Warner NY Cable LLC was presented to Council.  Carla Deaton, Adelphia, noted that Time Warner had purchased Adelphia and would be taking control beginning in 2006.  Councilman Story moved to adopt this resolution.  Councilman Haight seconded the motion.  All were in favor.

 

            City Clerk Joy Roark presented the second reading of Ordinance No. 6-05-2 regarding sewer rates.  Councilman Story made a correction to Dale Clary’s statement at the June 13th meeting.  Clary had questioned the need for a rate increase claiming that his department was operating at around $100,000 under budget.  Story noted that Clary’s figures did not include debt service and depreciation, which would cause his department to have a deficit and justify the need for a rate increase.  Councilman Story moved to approve.  Councilman Haight seconded the motion.  A roll call was given with all voting in favor.

 

            City Clerk Joy Roark presented the second reading of Ordinance No. 6-05-3 regarding water rates.  Councilman Story noted that water rates had not been increased since 1999 other than the cost of living increases.  With this increase, once the debt service is paid the water department should have sufficient revenue to operate without additional increases.  Councilman Manning moved to approve. Councilwoman Suit seconded the motion.  A roll call was given with all voting in favor.
