The second ordinance authorizes a contract with Tri State Construction in the amount of $9,986 to carry out the fence replacement, to be paid from CDBG funds administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development.

The board member said the request followed “a significant amount of feedback” and proposed working with parks employees and community partners to provide pollinator examples and involve local schools in educational components, either later this year or in planning for next year. The member formally moved to rescind the delay; another member seconded, and the motion was adopted after the usual procedural votes.

The transcript records the motion to rescind and the board’s adoption; it does not record details of the original delay ordinance (such as its text, effective dates, or the precise enforcement policy). The board member characterized the next steps as working with parks staff and community partners to provide pollinator examples and educational programming; the transcript does not record an assignment of staff or a specific timeline beyond the suggestion to plan for next year if necessary.

Following adoption the board member said, “I expect to hear some lawn mowers going this morning,” indicating the commission intended to resume enforcement in the near term.

The action rescinds the previously adopted delay and directs staff to explore non‑enforcement outreach and educational options with community partners as described in the discussion; full direction and implementation details should be confirmed in subsequent staff reports or minutes.","After public feedback, a board member moved and the commission approved rescinding a prior delay of high‑grass and weed citations and asked staff to work with parks employees and community partners on pollinator and educational efforts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6261242,"Ashland joins Kentucky sewer coalition agreement to pursue regulatory approaches for long‑term control plans",34,644000,678000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3124425-f5f6087e6389079718d64b602bbb49a8&start=644&end=678","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3124425-f5f6087e6389079718d64b602bbb49a8/thumbnail_644000.jpg","/articles/6261242/Ashland/Boyd-County/Kentucky/Ashland-joins-Kentucky-sewer-coalition-agreement-to-pursue-regulatory-approaches-for-longterm-control-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6261242-c4675558814241eb97d0beb1ea402b2e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172488&Signature=h-HGAFFQKnLv0Dbmk4UrsHJ~ABbLTM~OMw71myR3V~blyqv-BNwcC~rnFZ1nZQyP3bnh3ms~sv4suQn-yIN9ud8xUbQkuetXYOz6me0JjX3bkPFOPucoPhQFyQfqygAxh2xnWMX92Ozge-~ZRdFbI8vMRzybOmX1OncX9Co5NGNBHRIwDoeJJlWqv9ZLtK0ZZw02BpVsWToqrlMUObrlfwPWFhkYkGJQvdWswIh2XL8aqA0nh68SFMyeQB0t3tFNBO6oRYO4g2hezoVjB2y1zRCFEqx4L42~BTscuN~5PkdnAymG-bAoisVW~ROT-sXp7ydXI~0~CpoYupNWv1oakA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of City Commissioners of the City of Ashland on April 25 adopted an ordinance authorizing the mayor to execute a memorandum of agreement among the Kentucky Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Coalition (of which Ashland is a member), Strand Associates Inc., and the law firm English, Lucas, Priest & Owsley.

The agreement authorizes work on regulatory approaches to terminating long-term control plans with the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet and sets a not-to-exceed amount of $16,250.

City staff read the ordinance and the board moved and seconded the item; the transcript records an affirmative vote. The ordinance was described as a memorandum of agreement in an amount not to exceed $16,250 for the Department of Utilities (wastewater regulatory work). The transcript does not provide additional terms, scope-of-work detail, or funding source; those items should be confirmed in the memorandum itself and related contract files.

The approvals cover separate purchases from multiple suppliers for specific treatment chemicals and related supplies, with unit prices set in each ordinance.

The ordinances—each read for a second time and adopted—authorize contracts with the following vendors at the prices quoted in the ordinances: Bridal Mid South Inc. for powder activated carbon at $1.19 per pound, hydroflow salicylic acid at $3.39 per gallon and sodium hypochlorite at $1.8625 per gallon; Kim Bridal Incorporated for potassium permanganate at $2.12 per pound; Citco Water for aluminum sulfate at $1.761 per gallon and sand at $0.107 per pound; Evonik Corporation for (described in the minutes as) “parasitic acid” at $0.797 per pound; Paula Dean Inc. for liquid polymer at $17.114 per gallon (water plant), $15.308 per gallon (wastewater plant) and polymer cationic at $2.41 per pound; Univar Solutions USA Inc. for liquid caustic soda at $1.077 per gallon; and USALCO LLC for poly aluminum chloride at $3.2814 per gallon.

Each ordinance was moved, seconded and adopted without extended discussion. Where the meeting record shows only the standard roll-call question (“All in favor?”) but does not list individual votes, the actions are recorded in the meeting minutes as second reading and final adoption.

The contracts were presented as department-level procurement for the Department of Utilities, Divisions of Water Production and Wastewater Treatment. The ordinances specify unit prices; the meeting transcript does not record total contract quantities or multi-year term lengths.

The approvals will permit the utilities divisions to purchase the listed chemicals at the stated per-unit prices under the contracts authorized by the ordinances.

Votes at a glance: the meeting record shows each ordinance read for a second time and adopted; the transcript records unanimous “Aye” responses and no recorded roll-call tallies or named no votes except a brief, unclear exchange at one vote where a speaker voiced opposition without a clear name, so individual vote tallies are not specified in the transcript.","At a recess meeting April 25, the Board of City Commissioners of Ashland approved a series of ordinances awarding supply contracts for water- and wastewater-treatment chemicals to multiple vendors, each listed with contract price per unit.","actionData","errors"]
