AGENDA:

1. CALL TO ORDER - Mayor Tom Watson

2. ROLL CALL - Adrienne Carrico, Acting City Clerk

3. ORDINANCES - 2nd READING

3.A. Consider Ordinance 14-2022 entitled AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 9-2022 TO ESTABLISH REVISED COMPENSATION FOR CITY EMPLOYEES AND NON-ELECTED CITY OFFICERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH A PERSONNEL AND PAY CLASSIFICATION PLAN, AS REQUIRED BY KRS 83A.070.

The compensation of city employees and non-elected city officers was established by Ordinance 9-2022 on May 17, 2022. Subsequent to the passage of Ordinance 9-2022, the Kentucky Law Enforcement Foundation Program Fund (KLEFPF) increased its annual supplement for law enforcement officers and firefighters from $4,000 to $4,300, thereby necessitating revised pay charts for city employees and non-elected city officers for fiscal year 2022-2023.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance 14-2022 on second reading.

3.B. Consider Ordinance 15-2022 entitled AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OWENSBORO ZONING ORDINANCE ADOPTED MARCH 14, 1980, SO AS TO INCLUDE WITHIN THE B-2 CENTRAL BUSINESS ZONE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 407 EAST THIRD STREET.

The Owensboro Metropolitan Planning Commission (OMPC) met in regular session on April 14, 2022, and did consider and approve a proposal to change the zoning classification of the property located at 407 East Third Street from its present classification of I-1 Light Industrial to B-2 Central Business. OMPC staff recommends approval because the proposal is in compliance with the community’s adopted Comprehensive Plan; the subject property is located in a Central Business Plan Area, where central business uses are appropriate in general locations; is located within the downtown overlay districts as adopted by the City of Owensboro and the request is consistent with the concepts of the Downtown Master Plan; the B-2 Central Business zoning classification is an expansion of existing B-2 zoning to the south and east of the subject property; and the B-2 Central Business zoning will promote the redevelopment of the downtown consistent with the Downtown Master Plan.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance 15-2022 on second reading.
