Managers Report: Mr. Townsend stated that
council has in front of them a copy of Franklin’s ordinance
regarding Peddlers and Solicitors. Mr. Townsend spoke with
the City of Franklin’s Law Director, Donnette Fisher and found
their policy is not as broad as Carlisle’s; and that there
are a couple difference. (1) They do not provide tags; they
request that the organizations provide their own tags. ( 2)
They exempt school groups. A Charity organization or religious
group are not required to pay a fee but are required to
register with the city and the city then provides a number to
them. For vendors who set up on the street, peddlers,
solicitors must apply for an individual permit. The
information that is given allows the Police to do a criminal
background check on them, which the cost is factored into the
permit fee. Mr. Townsend suggested that council review the
information and have more discussion in January.
Mr. Townsend stated that he and Julie had
been reviewing the policy on water and sewer billing as when
the 10th of the month falls on a Saturday or
Sunday. The policy has been that when the 10th
falls on a Saturday or Sunday it has been that the residents
must have their payment in on the Friday before the weekend.
This has been requested to move the payment date back to the
following Monday. Mr. Townsend stated he and Julie found that
the language is specific in nature in that it only commits us
to send out bills with in 12 days of meter reading every
month. This gives us the flexibility to set the due date the
10 of every month. If Council has no objections of moving the
date back we can handle this as an internal policy. When the
10th of the month falls on a Saturday or Sunday we
will back the due date up on the bill and make it due on the
following Monday vs backing it up to the Friday before.
Mr. Townsend stated this past October he
filed with the State Department of Taxation the TIF forms. The
city made an agreement with Associate regarding the TIF
Agreement with Timber Ridge that all monies generated by
Timber Ridge TIF Fund would be used on the extension of Union
Road first. Associate had to agree that they would be
building a certain number of homes in the next 10 years with a
home value of $165,000 that was obligated to spend on Union
Road. Associate agreed to access with the financing with the
project by posting a letter of credit which would help the
city to sell bonds of a revenue nature so this would not be an
obligation to the city but to the TIF Fund. Associate has
agreed to extend Union Road. Associate has extended part of
the road in phase 2 and phase 3 would be able to open Union
Road all the way through. Mr. Townsend stated they have agreed
to extend the road, agreed to the terms outlined in their
agreements, agreed to check the prevailing wage. They have
given cost estimates to LJB and LJB will verify this before
they start in spring. Council will have legislation in
January for the connection to the other side of Union Road
which will align Fairview Drive. There will be some
modifications on Fairview. This connection will align to the
other side union road at Fairview. Need to redo the profile
with this project to make recommendations for the
intersection, curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
Mr. Townsend wished everyone a Happy
Holiday and announced that the Employee Party will be held at
2PM.
