Barbara reported bill for pole installed received and paid for $2600

Barbara reported two delinquent tax bills and after months attempting to retrieve will now move to start a lien on the said properties. 

Business

• Residents asked why the cameras are being installed.  Kevin explained the many problems that have occurred over the years.  All questions were answered and understood.
• The light pole on Ashmoor is leaning from a bus that regularly comes into the neighborhood.  Paul will call LG&E to have it repaired.

• Paul asked Jamie to post the Yard Sale on Facebook.

• Paul proposed repairing multiple areas of damaged sidewalks since we will be repairing one.  Contractors don’t want to do such a small job but it may prove to be beneficial to do multiple.  Photos were displayed of areas of damage.  Commissioners approve.

• AT&T reached out to Paul to remove copper wire.  Paul will call to discuss further.

• Down to Earth wants to schedule the sealcoating on the roads June 30th.  The contractor wants to powerwash the culdesac because the mud from the flood damage left a layer that will not hold seal if not cleared off.  The contractor wants to shut down the entire road even though he previously stated only half the road.

• Commissioners agreed that the website/Facebook/Nextdoor needs a post on grass cutting, keeping easement clear, and tree limbs hanging low over sidewalks.  Discussion of complaints regarding 1800 Claremoor overgrowth ensued.

• Kevin brought up the solicitors in the neighborhood.  Jason had Terminex come to his home at 9:30 at night.  The city has no soliciting but someone brought up that each homeowner needs to have a sign in front of their home.

Paul motioned to adjourn the meeting and Jason seconded.  Meeting adjourned at 7:44 PM.

Next meeting July 1, 7pm in person at Northeast Library.

• The snow removal bill was approved.

.  

Business

• Jason posted questions to residents on the Facebook page about what they would like to see in a new website.  There was very little feedback.  Jamie will post again asking for old Moorland photos.

• Paul has an updated contract for the seal coating for $61,900.  The new company will not close the entire road, but will do half the road at a time with a quick dry time, allowing residents to operate on the roads faster.  The contract is signed and will be scheduled at a later date.

• Kevin brought up that the cameras should be on their own poles to avoid conflict with LG&E.  The camera would need to be at least 12 ft off the ground.  The board discussed the location of the cameras and the need to cover Earlham from the four way stop sign to school, as well as the entrance to the neighborhood.  Suggestions on having two more cameras installed covering both directions of Farnham were discussed.
• The board will start to update the ordinances starting next month, doing a few at each meeting to update and simplify them for the new website.

Paul motioned to adjourn the meeting and Kevin seconded.  Meeting adjourned at 8:25 PM.

Next meeting March 4, 7pm in person at Northeast Library, in a reserved room.

Business

• Paul will mark the spots where the poles for the cameras will be located.  Kevin suggested installing an extra pole so that each camera was on a separate pole for better visibility.  The board approved.  Barabara needs an itemized contract.  Jamie will send letters to residents that will have a pole in front of their home.

• Jamie showed the new website to all and asked for any suggestions.  Everyone liked it and suggested adding some new photos.

• Rumpke is sending a new contract to span the next three years.  Everyone agrees to sign the contract.

• Barabara suggested making an ordinance to make sure that Moorland is not a sanctuary city.  Discussion ensued about whether it was necessary and having a public discussion and multiple readings.  Nothing was decided.

• Paul and Tammy discussed the sidewalk repair.  Tammy will give the information of the person she talked to about the repair and Paul will reach out to him.  The board needs to make sure the contractor is insured.

• Kevin said that the neighbor that has the damaged mailbox from the plows still hasn’t had it repaired.  Kevin will make sure the neighbor knows that time is of the essence.

• Barbara stated that there are three homeowners with delinquent taxes and at the next meeting the board can discuss putting liens on those homes.

• Discussed Lumos Fiber and what benefits Moorland would receive by allowing them into the city.  It is suggested that if they cannot offer a better deal than Spectrum or AT&T then it doesn’t benefit Moorland.

Paul motioned to adjourn the meeting and Kevin seconded.  Meeting adjourned at 7:50 PM

• Grace, a representative from Lumos, came to discuss her company coming to the area.  Lumos is a fiber company that just partnered with TMobile and will soon be rebranded TFiber.  The company has been operating for 20 years and is expanding to cover 10 states.  The fiber is 1 ¼” and 24-36 below ground and all boxes/equipment is also below ground.  All of Jefferson county will be covered in 3 ½-4 years and once the project is started it will become active in about 5 months.  The non promotional price at this time is about $80/month.  If Moorland approves, Lumos Fiber will be available early 2026.  Grace will send more paperwork and videos to show the City.

• June 7th is the first Saturday in June and will be the annual yard sale.  Neighborhood sign to go out May 31st.
