    • The board discussed easement overgrowth and the need to make sure all is clear before it gets too bad.  Letters will be sent out to remind owners of easement and Paul will get estimates from someone to clear the areas that are not clear, billing the resident.

    • MSD came on December 19th and cleared portions of easement.  Creek rock in the easement is blocking the flow of water and will need to be removed.  A letter will be sent to the owner of the house and if the creek rock is not removed in a timely manner, the city will contract the work to be done and bill the owner.
    • Paul stated that he felt the leaf removal was sufficiently done for the weather that we had in December.
    • Three bids for snow removal were received.  The first was a contract by a large company that would put Moorland last on the list, the second was a contract by the hour and the board felt that the cost would be too high.  The third bid was with the same contractor as last year and the same price.  Paul motioned to accept the last bid and all approved.
    • The clerk gave an update on the website.  The contact page was sending all info into spam and the hosting site could not rectify.  The clerk made the decision to have an email link in place of the text box.  The clerk also updated the board on the work on the street signs.  The sign that fell has been repaired, the leaning pole has been fixed and the sign with damaged corbels had to be taken to the shop because the repair would need to be welded in the shop.

    • The invoice for the sidewalk has not been paid yet.  There was damage to a resident lawn and when it is repaired then the payment will be made.
    • A resident brought attention to the board about a Claremoor resident that has creek rock in the MSD easement, blocking the flow of water.  The board will wait for MSD to come and clear the areas they agreed and if they do not clear the creek rock then the board will move to have it removed and bill the resident. 
    • Multiple residents have complained about a resident that has concrete markers in the area of the lawn next to the street.  Discussion of whether it is lawful or not ensued.  Commissioners will research if Moorland or Jefferson County has ordinances pertaining to these objects.  If so, then a letter will be sent to the resident.
    • Discussion of hiring a company to do leaf removal has been brought to the board.  The quote is $5k for two pickups, one around Thanksgiving and another around Christmas.  The company did not have the apartments in the bid so Paul will ask for new quotes and also ask them to bid on the snow removal for the new year.  Paul motioned on having leaf removal and all commissioners agreed.  Paul suggested having signs made to make residents aware of leaf pick up, which would be at the end of yards at the street.
    • Tony is quoting the same price for snow removal as last year.  Barbara Taylor said she needs the actual bid for the new year.  She would like it  to be posted in the CJ but the board agreed to post on Nextdoor instead.

    • A second reading of the camera ordinances had a second reading.  All Commissioners agreed with the ordinance and it was signed.  After, a resident brought forth the wording of the ordinance pertaining to the cameras being self contained.  Discussion about the sim card transmitting off-site ensued.  Kevin will change the ordinance to clarify and bring to the next meeting.
    • Kevin brought forth concerns with the MSD easement.  Paul spoke to a resident who received a violation letter and does not believe it is her property.  The clerk sent maps to confirm it is said resident’s property.  Paul will discuss with the resident directly.
    • A resident stated that a solicitor was in the neighborhood.  Kevin had already contacted the company the solicitor was with and they stopped.  Kevin suggested checking into companies advertising on our website.

    • The clerk announced the website is live. The developer had some changes to make and the clerk is still transferring data onto the new website but it is fully functional.

    • Barbara brought up the poor conditions of the apartment buildings.  The clerk brought up a complaint from an apartment resident of homeless people sleeping in the stairwell of at least one building.  A send will go out to that building for fire violations.

    The deposit for the sealcoating project was half of the total cost.

    Chek written to Tony’s Tree Service for $2600 was issued.

    Business

    • Paul updated everyone on the sealcoating project.  Many residents are angry that the schedule has been delayed but it has rained and no work is done on Wednesdays, so as not to interrupt garbage pick-up.  There are four phases to the work and half is done.  Friday is scheduled to do the end of Claremoor, end of Ashmoor and Farnham.  Paul has tried to reach LG&E about the front entrance work being done but cannot get an answer.  If they close the entrance on Friday then the sealcoating will be delayed so people can leave the neighborhood.  The police are watching from 11-6 at $75/hr.
    • 1809 Claremoor has a tax debt that has been bought and the city is listed under lawsuit.  Paul will check if there are liens on the house. (Clerk found an unreleased lien).
    • The light pole in the 1600 block of Ashmoor that is leaning has a work order with LG&E.
    • The sidewalks have been very difficult in getting estimates.  There were two received estimates.  The first was for $15k and Paul felt there were many red flags with this company.  Sam The Concrete Man quoted $8900 that includes a sealer to warranty the work for one year.  He was very detailed and professional.  Paul motioned and the board unanimously approved.
    • Kevin and Jason wrote proposed ordinances for the cameras.  Kevin stated that Kentucky has no laws against cameras.  Home rule authority allows the city to pass laws to protect the public and install cameras, within the purview that the law allows.  The cameras will not be used to ticket persons.  Kevin introduced a video retention ordinance and a video open records ordinance.  Two readings are required and Paul read into record the first reading.  Kevin said that the open record request has to be provided but it does not have to fall into 5 days.  No video can be emailed and the request will have a $40 fee.  The clerk has to be the controller of the video.  Kevin states that only quality thumb drives should be allowed so as not to compromise the video.  The video feed is saved for 12 days so all requests will need to be made within that window.  Bowen often does not abide by the agreement with Moorland.  There is no one watching the cameras and is connected through sim cards.  Paul brought up whether we would need to comply with police if they request feed, yes Moorland would need to comply.  Copies of ordinances will be posted on the website when they have been read twice.  Barbara needs to be called to make sure the cameras are insured.  Moorland hasn’t bought anything with the EIN# in so long that we have no credit.  The streaming requires a deposit of $500 up front, which should cover the cost for a year.
    • Paul suggested a sign to be installed prior to the start of the school year on August 7th to inform parents of the rules and the video.  Jason suggested a newsletter with all expectations to parents.
    • A resident is against the company that makes the cameras.  It is a Chinese company that has done wrongs in China and he has concerns with the political implications of using Chinese products.  Kevi stated it was too late now and that he did not know the controversy of the company.  Suggestion that the camera video request be published for transparency.
    • A resident has concerns with the MSD easement overgrowth.  The clerk will prepare letters of notice to residents in violation.
    • Tammy would like to be added to the email list. 

    Paul motioned to adjourn the meeting and Jason seconded.  Meeting adjourned at 8:36 PM. Next meeting is August 5, 7pm in person at Northeast Library.
