Council adopts procurement resolution for 'green sink' flood‑mitigation project
Summary
Council adopted a resolution to use the Kentucky model procurement code (KRS 45A) for engineering selection and contracting on the city's Greensinks flood‑mitigation project and authorized formation of an engineering selection committee.
The council adopted a resolution authorizing the city to apply the Kentucky model procurement code (KRS 45A) for the Greensinks project, a flood‑mitigation approach that uses deep, vegetated sink features to manage floodwater. The resolution authorizes advertising a request for engineering qualifications, establishing selection criteria and appointing an engineering selection committee to negotiate design fees.
Council discussion briefly clarified what a 'green sink' is — a flood‑mitigation technique that captures water in large sink features rather than allowing flood flows across neighborhoods — and staff said Morehead is among the early adopters in Kentucky. The clerk called the roll and the resolution passed on a recorded vote.
