There was a special meeting of the Flemingsburg City Council Thursday, November 30, 2006 in the City Annex at 5:00 p.m. Council members present were Nancy Suit, Georgianna Sparks, Meredith Story, Scott Manning and Mary Voiers. Councilman Carl Haight was absent. Mayor Louie K. Flanery presided.

Councilman Manning led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Councilman Story addressed the council regarding water testing. Story reported that he had contacted several labs and some were not certified to do the test. One lab couldn’t do the test because they were already doing work for the City. Story recommended Micro Lab out of Louisville, KY. They would charge $40.00 per hour to draw samples and $14.00 each to test the samples. He said if we draw the samples and send them to the lab it would save some money. Councilwoman Suit did not think that would be a good idea; the lab that does the test should draw the samples. Council concluded that would be best. Councilman Story said that Gary Crabtree, who works for Micro Lab, is experienced in working with well water. Councilwoman Sparks asked if they would only test the water of people who had complaints. Councilman Voiers suggested random testing. Mayor Flanery said it would be discussed with the lab that does the testing. Councilman Story stated he had spoken with Western Fleming Water and Fleming County Water Association about joining the City in the water-testing project. He asked each entity to allocate $1000.00 toward the costs of testing the water. That would be a total of $3000.00 for testing. Western Fleming didn’t think there would be a problem, but were going to poll their members. Councilman Voiers moved that the City allocate $1000.00 for water testing even if the other two entities didn’t contribute. Councilwoman Sparks seconded. All were in favor.

Mayor Flanery reported that the City had committed to buy 800 recycling bins from The City Of Vanceburg. The bins needed to be stored until the recycling program was in place. Councilman Story offered the basement of the old Honda Shop on Elizaville Avenue, which is owned by Story, his brother and sisters. Story offered the space rent-free for three months (Dec.- Feb.). Councilwoman Sparks moved to accept the offer. Councilman Manning seconded the motion. All were in favor.

Mayor Flanery suggested putting the property address on the bins to discourage theft. It was recommended that the Ag dept. at the high school be contacted to do the stenciling and painting. Mayor Flanery said that Larry Dearing works for Stephens trucking and offered to pick-up and deliver the bins at no charge for his time. The only costs would be to Stephens trucking for use of the truck.

Mayor Flanery said the Industrial Authority was looking for an EDC Specialist who would be dedicated to bringing industry into the Industrial Parks. The pay and hours have not been determined. Danetta Barker suggested they consider Romey Griffey, who recently retired from the City of Maysville. The City has budgeted $30,000.00 per year to fund the EDC. Mayor Flanery stated that these funds would still be needed to support the Chamber’s operations. The Fiscal Court has already approved dissolving the interlocal agreement for the EDC. Councilman Story moved that the City dissolve the Interlocal agreement as well. Councilwoman Suit seconded. All were in favor.

There being no further business Councilman Manning made motion to adjourn meeting at 6:45 p.m. Councilwoman Sparks seconded. All were in favor.
