Summary

Commissioners approved a memorandum of agreement between the Kentucky Combined Sewer Overflow Coalition, Strand Associates Inc., and the law firm English, Lucas, Priest & Owsley to pursue regulatory approaches to terminating long-term control plans, not to exceed $16,250.

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 adopted agreement directs participation in the coalition’s regulatory effort and authorizes expenditure up to the stated amount, as recorded in the ordinance.
