BDCityBuilding

BEAVER DAM, Ky. (10/22/15) — The Beaver Dam City Commission approved the second reading of the 2015 Property Tax Ordinance and agreed to send potential BDPD officers for training, among other business during a special-called meeting Oct. 13. — After approving the minutes and paying the bills, the three person city commission was to approve the second reading of the 2015 property tax rates. Commissioners Kevin Davis and Charles Patton were not present for the special-called meeting. At the August meeting, both Davis and Patton, along with Mayor Paul Sandefur, voted yes to approve the first reading of the 2015 Property Tax Ordinance, which would see the city take the compensating rate plus 4 percent on both the real and personal property tax rates. Commissioners Sandy Robinson and Keith Dale voted no. The compensating rate plus 4 percent for the 2015 real property tax rate was 2.72 and for the 2015 personal property tax rate the compensating rate plus 4 percent was 2.831. The real property tax rate for 2014 was 2.63 and the personal property tax rate was 2.691. After a few moments, Robinson cut through the awkwardness saying, “Well this is interesting, since the only two that are here are the ones that voted no (on taking the compensating rate plus 4 percent).” “Yes, it is,” Dale agreed, Sandefur pointed out, if the commission didn’t pass the second reading at that time, the process would start all over again. This would mean the ordinance would again have to pass two readings before going into effect. It was believed the tax bills were already printed and not approving the second reading could delay the mailing of the tax bills. “I’ll change my vote and vote for it, if the other person who voted against it will second my motion,” Dale said. “I don’t really want to, but I don’t really want to screw the process up like it will do, either.” “Well this is not setting the rate, this is just passing the ordinance where the rate was set, right?” Robinson asked. “Yes,” Sandefur answered. “Then I’ll second it,” Robinson said. Dale made the motion to approve the second reading of the 2015 Property Tax Ordinance. Robinson seconded the motion. The motion passed by a 3-0 vote. — The Beaver Dam Police Department is in the process of searching for a new officer. Chief Mike Allen had several interviews coming up and he wanted approval to send a couple of candidates to the Department of Criminal Justice Training Facility for Phase one and two of the Peace Officer Professional Standard testing. Allen is only looking for one new officer, but if the other candidate completes the POPS Phases, it’s good for one year. Which means, if the BDPD needed another officer within a year, it would have a potential hire who has completed the POPS Phases. Robinson made a motion to send two candidates to Phase one and two of the POPS. Dale seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. — The City of Beaver Dam has tried to streamline the city’s administrative policy, as well as the Beaver Dam Police Department’s. The city wanted to remove any duplicate language in the city’s administrative policy from the BDPD’s. Both the city commission and Chief Allen were in agreement, so long as policies weren’t changed. A motion was approved to remove the duplicate items from the policies. After the policies have been streamlined, if anything was incorrect in the BDPD’s, Chief Allen would report it to the commission. — City Superintendent Larry Carter told the city commission an employee would be leaving in the near future. To be ready for this departure, Carter wanted permission to advertise for a laborer. Robinson made a motion to advertise the hiring of a new laborer for the city. Dale seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. — Chief Allen asked the commission to declare a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria as surplus. The 2004 Ford was the oldest in the BDPD’s fleet, except for a Ford Explorer, but Chief Allen wanted to keep the Explorer in case of winter weather. Dale made a motion to declare the 2004 Ford Crown Victoria as surplus and to sell it on govdeals.com. Robinson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. — The city commission re-appointed Jean Booth to the Code Enforcement Board after a motion by Robinson and a second by Dale. — The city commission was presented with an opportunity to apply for the 2016 Litter Abatement Grant. The city has applied and received this grant for the last several years. The only thing the grant money can be used for is sweeping or picking up trash on the streets. The city received around $3,100 per year with the grant, but each year, the city had to refund some of the money. One year, the city refunded around $1,600 of the money. Generally the money is refunded because the city doesn't have the manpower to have one person picking up litter on the streets. Sandefur said he’d like the city to continue to apply for the Litter Abatement Grant because he and the commission might have found some ways to use the money. Dale made a motion to apply for the grant. Robinson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
