The Ryland Heights City Commission unanimously approved an agreement on Oct. 8 with the Housing Authority of Covington that authorizes Covington to operate the Section 8 housing program on behalf of cities in Kenton County. Commissioner Collins moved to approve the agreement; Commissioner Bowman seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
The commission also advanced a municipal building project after reviewing a cost estimate for a proposed 40-by-60 pole-barn. Commissioner Claggett provided the estimate of $144,498.00 and discussed outstanding design questions, including whether the main entrance should be a double door. Commissioner Ponder moved to hire an engineer to produce plumbing and foundation/floor plans; Commissioner Bowman seconded. The motion passed unanimously, and Mayor John Cole said he would work with the building committee to see the project completed.
Treasurer Rod Rigacci presented the September financial report (bank statements, checking and savings, and budget vs. actual) and noted two vendor changes tied to city operations: "Since Lykins is no longer going to supply heating oil to residential customers, we have contacted Premier Energy and planned with them to supply us with heating oil for the city building," he said. Rigacci also reported the city has contacted a new company to service the generator after the previous vendor went out of business. Commissioner Bowman moved to accept the treasurer's report; Commissioner Ponder seconded and the vote was 5-0 in favor.
Mayor John Cole reported a separate, non-agenda issue when he learned someone was removing logs from city property on Locust Pike. He said he investigated the matter and warned the individuals involved that they could be charged with "Criminal Trespassing." There was no executive session. Commissioner Collins moved to adjourn at 8:30 p.m.; Commissioner Bowman seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The commission also heard routine committee reports: road work began on Lambs Ferry Road and the Veterans Affairs Committee continues work on the memorial. No public comments were recorded. City Attorney Ted Knoebber reviewed the Housing Authority agreement and stated it was in order.
