Civic Action
Committee
·
Sue
will determine if KAWC, EDA, and developer met. ·
EDA
said that they will pay for half the cost of the water tank and that the
city of Midway will be taking out a loan to pay the interest or something
like that. Namely, there is
no full decision, and they are meeting again on the October
1st. The EDA seems
to be fairly hush hush about their meetings. ·
Real
Estate property tax for 2001 went down from 11.7 to 11.6 cents per hundred
dollars. Auto tax stayed the
same. ·
Some
people were complaining about water pressure problems. Apparently this is somehow related
to the chlorine levels. They
are going to try to meet with Water co. ·
City
will renew lease on the police substation for one more
year. ·
Wednesday
October 10th at 2pm to 4pm there will be an open house at the
new sewer plant.. ·
It
was brought up at the city meeting that we were looking at getting
streetlights. Discussion of
all items pertaining to that were put on the agenda for the 10/1 city
meeting.
·
City
owns a house on the city cemetery property, and someone named Brandon
lives there for free. Is
supposed to take care of it?
The building needs many renovations and need to have Brandon move?
And pay rent later? |

Public Relations
Committee
·
Kathy
went to the IRS and found that we need to file under 501.c4 status. This is tax-exemption for
non-profit orgs. To qualify
under this specification, one must be organized for one of many public
services, and what not and we basically qualify as a civic
organization. Applying for
this will cost $150. This
process goes entirely through the IRS, and no state agencies need to be
involved. Regarding grant
eligibility, more research will need to be done. ·
Newsletter
is about done and should be ready in a couple weeks.
·
Decided
to add something about the Library’s mailing list into our newsletter,
thus avoiding concerns of giving out people’s
information. ·
We
tentatively decided that the newsletter will be printed in black and
white. ·
We
decided that as long as printing costs under $50 it can go to
press |

Streets and Grounds
Committee
·
Get
quote for the conduit – Quote came in at $25,437 from Wilhod Inc. in
Nicholasville and will be used as an estimate. This is for 41 lights. With this in mind, this seems to
not be feasible. ·
Discovered
regarding Street lights – Responsibility is to the homeowners for conduit,
KU for wiring and installation, and we hope the city for utility power up
to a certain amount. The
lamps ·
Grants
for putting in the streetlights? ·
Gaylen
Crawley expressed an interest in the mowing
contract. |

coming under the umbrella of the Woodford County Library

survey will be coming out soon asking people what kinds of things that
people would like from the library, including hours and that kind of
thing. Meet
on the second Monday of every month @ 7pm at the Winter Street
Branch.
