Page 1 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA There being no public hearings or presentations, Council then moved to Item 8 -"Public Operations" with the topic of smoking and alcohol prohibitions in the parks. Mr. Utt, in reference to a new memo before Council, said the two draft ordinances in the packet should be disregarded and asked Mr. Quesenberry to provide further explanations. Mr. Quesenberry noted that Council had received a request from a citizen banning smoking and alcohol in all town parks. He advised that the Town was not authorized by the state to enact a ban on either smoking or possession of alcohol in a public park. He explained that Virginia is a strict constructionist Dillon's Rule state which means local governments have no authority on an issue unless the state grants it the authority. Localities, he continued, can regulate the possession of open alcoholic beverage containers in parks, playgrounds, public streets, etc. but, they are not authorized by state law to ban possession of alcohol in a public park. The same principle, he said, applied to smoking in that the Town is not authorized by state law to enact a prohibition against smoking in parks. Mr. Utt noted that staff modeled the proposed ordinances after a Winchester statute but as additional research showed, the prohibitions extended beyond the allowable reach of the town. Regarding as to what could be done, Mr. Utt said in discussions with Mr. Rygas, the bigger problem was the litter that results from the cigarette butts. He felt that an increased effort, twice a week, to pick up the butts may be the best option. Mr. Kidd asked if the Town could designate more cigarette stands away from the buildings and public places. Mr. Quesenberry said the stands could be provided but the Town could not mandate they be used because state law does not extend local authority regarding smoking to the outdoors. Mr. Penn asked about the smoking ban at Calfee Park. Mr. Utt responded that Calfee Park was private property as opposed to a public park. Places where localities could regulate smoking, Mr. Quesenberry continued were listed on page 2 of the handout. "Public places" he noted were defined as an indoor area used by the general public. Vice -Mayor East asked about the phrase "other areas" mentioned in the state code 15.2-2824 & 2825. Mr. Quesenberry responded that those sections covered child care centers, emergency rooms, restaurants and other indoor locations. In reference to enforcing possession of open containers of alcohol he continued, the police department must be authorized to enforce the ordinance. He then asked Acting Lieutenant Neice to comment. She said an open container ordinance would have to (1) authorize the P.D. to enforce the local ordinance; and (2) include a civil fine. Vice -Mayor East asked what action the Town could take. Mr. Utt's recommendation was that there be no action on smoking other than increased litter control and to develop an ordinance, following the state code, to prohibit open containers of alcoholic beverages. Mr. Rygas discussed with Council the creation and application of ordinances. Ordinances he said were crafted to address behaviors that were desired to be modified. With respect to the current Page 2 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA discussion the original complaint involved litter, not disorderly conduct. He cautioned on implementing alcohol based ordinances because: (1) alcohol was not the original concern, litter was; (2) caution was necessary in regulating alcohol consumption because there will be events serving alcohol; and, (3) contradictory alcohol provisions might, given recent discussion in the Town, discourage alcohol related businesses and events. Mr. Goodman asked if someone was walking around with a drink with the lid on, was that considered to be open container. Acting Lieutenant Neice replied that could be dealt with in a couple of different ways that would not require the officer to use the "open container approach". Vice -Mayor East asked Acting Lt. Neice if in her opinion she felt an ordinance was necessary. She replied that she felt it was not necessary, that the Town had the code sections needed to address the situation. She said that the police had made a concerted effort to be in the downtown parks more and advised waiting to see if that rectified the situation over the next couple of months may be the best option. Vice -Mayor East thanked Acting Lt. Neice and asked if there were further comments from Council. Vice -Mayor East observed that previous complaints addressed persons who were drinking continuously. On another point he said, a person who drank quietly was not an issue while a disorderly situation would be covered. Mr. Utt replied he would rather not encourage the behavior but try to discourage it, especially with respect to children and the image of alcohol consumption in the park. After asking if there were further comments from Council and receiving none, Vice -Mayor East moved to Item 9a in the agenda, "Discussion of Utility Deposits and Utility Billing procedures". Mr. Utt reminded Council that Mrs. Sandra Hillyer had approached Council about the high cost of deposits required by the Town in order to have utility services cut on for renters. He noted that Mrs. Reece and her staff had prepared options for review in response to Mrs. Hillyer's concern. Mrs. Reece briefed Council on: (1) the typical monthly utility billing process; (2) the typical water bill noting the fixed and volume charges; due dates; penalties and fees; and, (3) the breakdown of deposit charges for in -Town and out -of -Town users and the deposit refund policy. Due to a new feature on the billing software, the department was considering the idea of partial deposit billing. According to Mrs. Reece, approximately 21 % of Town utility customers have deposits on file. With no way to differentiate between renters and homeowners, she added, the Town typically doesn't require homeowners to make a deposit unless there were prior payment issues. Mrs. Reece then described the Town's use of the state's Debt Set -Off program allowing agencies to collect on delinquent utility accounts by confiscating all or part of a customer's Virginia tax refund or lottery winnings. The disadvantages of the program were that localities are the last agencies authorized to collect funds and the party in question must have filed a Virginia tax return. Nevertheless, since 2015, the Town had managed to collect $27,800 using this method. Mrs. Reece recommended to Council that the Town: • Encourage more customers to sign up for ACH-automatic payment/electronic transfers from personal bank accounts to help eliminate penalties or disconnections. Presently only 250 customers use ACH. Audio DS400163.WMA Page 3 of 10/July 18, 2017 • Use partial deposit billing for renters to activate service ($65 up front which includes a $20 service fee and a $45 garbage deposit) and have two monthly payments of $70.00 for the remaining deposit balance. • Move the due date on water bills from the 15th to the 20th of the month. Following her presentation, Council discussed the recommendations including promotion and incentives to encourage ACH-automatic payments, initiation of partial deposit billing using a 12 month period for deposit refund, and changing the due date from the 15th to the 20th to assist customers by having a second payday in a 20 day window and to make up for slowed mail delivery of bills. At the conclusion of her presentation Mrs. Reece asked about updating Section 86-5 of the Town Code dealing with utility billing. Mr. Utt asked if Council was comfortable with the change of 10 days to 5 days for the bill due date. If so, the staff would do some research and return with a draft ordinance/code language to which Council concurred. Vice -Mayor East asked if Council had any further comments. There being none, Vice -Chairman East said he hoped that an incentive could be found for customers to use the automatic withdrawal. Discussion then ensued over various incentives that focused on reducing the size of deposits tied to the use of ACH. Mrs. Reece reminded Council that lower income customers who may not be able to sign-up for ACH and paid paycheck to paycheck would still have to pay the sizeable deposit. Discussion then took place on methods to encourage ACH use including waiving of deposits either whole or in part. Mrs. Reese said that the staff could look at other options. Mr. Goodman suggested collecting data on ACH users to find out how much of an incentive the Town could afford to offer. Vice -Mayor East clarified for staff that the Council was looking at an ACH route regarding deposits and a non-ACH route for customers who did not have a bank account. Mrs. Reece then told Council that a review of the Town Code Sec. 86-5 found that it was not current with Finance's current operations. For example, she mentioned the Town Code indicated that the Town charged interest and sent out delinquent notices, which it no longer did. These issues were voted on but the Code itself was not amended accordingly. Following a short discussion on charging interest, Mrs. Reese replied that the Town would not stop charging the penalty but would not add interest on top of it. Staff could look into it, she said, but her main concern was the Code was not up to date. If the Town was taken to court, she ventured the Town would appear automatically to be in the wrong. Mr. Utt asked Council to direct staff to draft the necessary ordinance. Mrs. Reece added that both the Municode on-line Town Code and printed code for the Town were not up to date. Mr. Goodman moved that staff be directed to draft the necessary ordinance to revise Section 86-5 "Billing" of the Pulaski Town Code to reflect current practices. The motion was seconded by Mr. Radcliffe and approved on the following roll call vote: Mr. Radcliffe -Aye Mr. Goodman -Aye Mr. East -Aye Mr. Kidd -Aye Page 4 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA Mr. Clark -Aye Mr. Penn -Aye Next on the agenda was Item 10a. "Special Exception Public Hearing Request". Mr. Utt explained that staff wanted more structure to the relationship between Council and some committees by presenting major special exception requests to the Town Council for referral to the Planning Commission. He noted that the Town had received a request from West Main Development, L.L.C. to do a virtual realty venue in one of their buildings which would require a special exception. The referral was a way of letting Council know there was a public hearing coming up, since Council would make the final decision. Mr. Goodman moved that Council authorize the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing regarding the special exception request from West Main Development, L.L.C. His motion was seconded by Mr. Clark and approved on the following roll call vote: Mr. Radcliffe -Aye Mr. Goodman -Aye Mr. East -Aye Mr. Kidd -Aye Mr. Clark -Aye Mr. Penn -Aye Following the vote, Council moved on to Item 11 a. "Brush Drop Site Options". Mr. Utt told Council that the PSA had closed the drop site behind the Sheriff's Office that the Town was using for brush. The reason given for closure was that the site was filled and the Regional Landfill's tub grinder sustained $30,000 damage from metal in the brush. Currently, brush has to be taken to the Dublin drop -site or to the landfill at Cloyd's Mountain, he observed, leaving both citizens and the Town Public Works Department with no other options. Relative to the need for a brush site option as well as the relocation of the current Dora Highway Drop Site, according to Mr. Utt, two lots were subdivided from Honeywell's main property between Lafayette and East Main Street, with Honeywell retaining ownership of the parcel closest to Main Street. The Town he continued, had reached out to Honeywell to acquire that lot, but no response from Honeywell has been received to date. He expected the PSA would be willing to buy that lot and that now is the time to bring the issue up by approaching the PSA at their next meeting and ask them to move the issue along. Mr. Goodman said that he had received two types of complaints from citizens on brush: (1) why did citizens have to go to Dublin; and (2) the neighborhood on the left of Rt. 99 near the trestle was starting to have problems with people dumping brush and garbage there. He felt the problem would worsen during the fall. Mr. Utt said the PSA agreed to clean out the lot and was nearly finished with that task. The PSA he continued, had said they did not want any more brush in the site or if the Town did allow brush into the site, it would be left to the Town to transport it to the regional landfill. When asked about the cost of a tub grinder, Mr. Utt opined that it would likely be in the $150,000-$200,000 range for a used unit. Mr. Kidd asked if there was an agreement with PSA to do this. Mr. Utt responded he believed that part of the refuse agreement included having a drop site open and as far as PSA was concerned, Dora Highway is the drop site. Mr. Kidd said he was referring to the grinder. Mr. Utt replied that the previous use of the grinder was a gesture on the part of PSA as a member of the Resource Authority. Page 5 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA Mr. Kidd said he did not understand how PSA could "hold" the Town while they did their own loading in the hopper. Mr. Utt said that PSA's problem was that the site is not a manned site, but that they would return if the site is manned. Mr. Utt noted that it did not make sense to pay someone to be there and at the Dora Drop Site at the same time. Mr. Kidd agreed saying that the Town should move forward. Mr. Goodman felt the Town should get the site back open. Mr. Kidd felt the issue had been on the "back burner" too long and the Town should proceed forward. Mr. Utt said the short term options would be: (1) to pay someone to be at the site 3 or 4 hours a day; (2) or pay the PSA to pay someone to be at the site; or, (3) open the site and have the Town haul the brush itself. Mr. Goodman asked about the Town renting a tub grinder or bringing in one of the tree companies in the town to grind the brush up occasionally and then haul it out. Mr. Pedigo responded that he did not know of anyone in the near vicinity that operated a tub grinder other than the Resource Authority. Vice -Mayor East ventured that contracting with a company that has a grinder, doesn't require use but every so often. Mr. Goodman said the last time he talked with Mr. Utt about this, when a tub grinder was used, it took about a year for the site to fill back up. If the Town could open the site back up, he continued, the Town would have about a year to figure out how to empty the site. Mr. Pedigo commented that he was not sure that one year was accurate noting the site filled up in six or seven months most recently. Mr. Goodman said that even six months could get to wintertime when usage would drop off which gives the Town some time to put out a bid for a company to clear the site and to figure out the funding needed. Mr. Utt said the staff could look and find someone to rent a grinder from. Vice -Mayor East proposed contracting out relieving the Town of taking responsibility. Mr. Pedigo added that Council should realize the inconvenience for the citizens and the Town itself. In the past week, the Town's Street Superintendent estimated about 50 loads on a single axle dump truck were hauled to the landfill. Running the brush to the landfill, Mr. Pedigo added was impractical. Both Vice -Mayor East and Mr. Goodman agreed that rental of a grinder would show savings in fuel and staff costs. Mr. Phillips also noted that the landfill charged $32 per ton for dumping. Mr. Goodman proposed reopening the site, giving staff time to bring back options to Council as to cost and options for disposal of the brush. At least he continued, Town staff would have a place to take debris without going to the landfill and the citizens would also have an option available to them. Mr. Utt asked Acting Lt. Neice if the Town could charge someone for littering at a brush -only drop site. She replied that the police could charge someone with illegal dumping, but that she would have to look up the code section. Mr. Penn strongly cautioned the Council that the site should not be left unmanned. Mr. Radcliffe said that the citizens could not be held hostage. Mr. Utt said he would contact PSA and staff to discuss reopening the site at Town's cost. Page 6 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA Mr. Goodman asked Mr. Rygas if the PSA was in breach of the refuse contract, since they have terminated that brush collection service at Dora and are unwilling to provide that service elsewhere in town. Mr. Penn also asked if the refuse collection agreement included brush. Mr. Rygas said he would review the agreement. Vice -Mayor East said that a short term plan and a long term plan were needed. Mr. Rygas asked about using surveillance system to monitor the site. Mr. Goodman mentioned that there were systems available that could provide such monitoring. Council then discussed monitoring and administration of the dump site including, penalties for debris other than brush, hours of operation, and the availability of Town staff to open and close the facility Mr. Radcliffe asked since the PSA is under contract with the Town, wouldn't PSA not reimburse the Town if the Town had someone there. Mr. Rygas said he would look at the agreement and see what is says and go from there. Vice -Mayor East then asked if there were other comments from Council. There being none, the Vice - Mayor summarized that the actions needed were to get the site open as quickly as possible, determine the obligations of the PSA, and consider a long term solution. There being no further comment, the next item on the agenda was Item 12a. "Grant Summary". Mr. Utt said that Mrs. Van Noy had found a grant opportunity related to the public safety building to help fund the engineering and environmental surveys that would have to be done before the Town could apply for a Rural Development or a FEMA grant Loan. The grant would fund a full set of plans, ready for construction drawings and do the environmental reports necessary to meet the federal standards for funding. The grant would get the Town to the place to apply for final financing. The grant he continued had a zero match requirement. Since the Town had originally budgeted $60,000 for the initial design study, Mr. Utt recommended taking $10,000 of the $60,000 and pledging it to the grant application. The Town would apply for up to $60,000 with a pledge of $10,000 from the current budget. The application was due in two weeks with an award date of September 30th.He requested that Council authorize staff to apply for the Technical Assistance Training Grant and pledge $10,000 from the Town budget. Vice -Mayor East called for input from Council. Mr. Kidd said he would like to see the Town get moving on this. Mr. Utt noted that the Town had been working with the engineers and they had eight or nine sites where they had been doing the preliminary conceptuals for grading and cost of construction or renovation. Vice Mayor East then called for a motion regarding the TAT grant application. Mr. Goodman moved that the Council direct Town staff to prepare all the paperwork and submit it for the TAT grant application with a $10,000 dollar pledge of support as a cash match to the project up to a $60,000 grant application. Mr. Clark seconded the motion which was approved on the following roll call vote: Mr. Radcliffe -Aye Mr. Goodman -Aye Mr. East -Aye Mr. Kidd -Aye Mr. Clark -Aye Mr. Penn -Aye Page 7 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA Council proceeded to the next item on the agenda: Item 14 "Round Table Discussion". Vice -Mayor East then called on Mr. Radcliffe if he had any comment. Mr. Radcliffe, in reference to recent water breaks involving a 12 inch main, said that he wanted the Town to get to work on replacing some of the Town's infrastructure. He noted that businesses and others do not understand why the water breaks cannot be fixed. There are a lot of deteriorating water lines in the Town he noted, and the Town has a very capable staff for dealing with it. He would like in the near future for a meeting to discuss the infrastructure. Mr. Utt said that the Town was proactive in setting aside funds for replacement and had done some smaller projects to replace galvanized pipes. He said he would reach out to the County who had received some grants to replace galvanized piping because the Town still has a fair amount of galvanized pipes serving as main lines. Mr. Utt understood that the line in question (12 inch main) was very old. Mr. Pedigo ventured that it was the original feed from Warden Springs made of cast iron pipe with leaded joints and probably had been in service to the east end of Town for 100 years. He added additional breaks the following day on Sunday were a direct result of the incident due to pressure changes in the line. Vice -Mayor East asked if: (1) there was proactive action that could be taken; and, (2) if there were areas with aged lines that could be targeted. Mr. Utt replied that the Town was aware of some problem areas where breaks happen. Mr. Pedigo noted the problem with water lines were that they could not be seen, unlike sewer lines which can be inspected with cameras. Vice -Mayor East asked when line failures were seen did those commonly involve galvanized lines. Mr. Pedigo replied lines that have been in the ground for some time are beyond their lifespan and break easily. Vice -Mayor East asked if the Town knew where the galvanized lines were, could the frequency of breaks be reduced. Mr. Goodman asked if the Town could use a device used in oil pipe lines which, when inserted into a line, could pinpoint area where the risk of failure is higher. Mr. Pedigo replied that there were such devices which were costly and the Town had looked at using it with the raw water line. Mr. Utt said his greatest concern was the raw water line running 2.5 to 3 miles from the pump station to the Filter Plant, replacement of which would be very expensive. Mr. Goodman asked if the Town should be looking at grants for replacement. Mr. Utt said that Mrs. Van Noy was looking at some EDA funds and CDBG funds that might be available. Replacement of this line would cost at least $2 million he said noting the line crossed the creek and railroad several times. Mr. Goodman felt the Town should proceed given the importance of the line. Mr. Penn asked if a line breaks under the railroad, does the Town have to wait for the railroad to give permission to repair. Mr. Pedigo replied that yes, if a line breaks under a railroad right of way, Town crews have to wait until a railroad flagman gets there. Vice -Mayor East commented that a raw water break was a "worst case scenario" and there were other scenarios that would not be as bad. While a large project could not be done immediately, there would be other less expensive, preventative projects that could be done. A risk assessment he said would be the place to start to find high risk areas then follow by having a plan at least on an annual basis to take action each year, otherwise he was concerned that no future action would be taken. Page 8 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA Mr. Goodman suggested to first find out the cost of assessing the older lines so a decision on funding could be made. Mr. Utt felt that grant funds were likely available for an assessment. Mr. Utt said the Town had taken the first step by having the funds set up and doing two neighborhoods with one or two other neighborhoods to be done this fiscal year. The Town was taking care of the customers and at the same time acting preventatively, with the main issue being manpower. Vice -Mayor East said he understood and did not intend to minimize the task at hand, but the Town did need a starting point. Mr. Pedigo commented that the water system as a whole was rather large. It was just a question of how much money would be spent upgrading the system and when it would be spent. Mr. Radcliffe said it was a start but added that it sounded to him that the staff was already taking action. Mr. Pedigo said Council had also acted by setting aside funds for repairs in addition for capital funds for water projects. In his second comment Mr. Radcliffe said that the Pepper's Ferry Road bank looked good. He asked about the status of the wood chipper, which he heard was broken-down. Would it be feasible he asked to lease a chipper to blow the debris back on the banks rather than run dump trucks or buy a chipper? Mr. Pedigo replied that it would be good to have a new chipper since the current unit is aged, small and fed manually making it dangerous. Throwing chips on the bank he continued, might be fine for Pepper's Ferry but it was not suitable if livestock were present. Most places in town could not have the chips applied, but it would help if the chipping could be done on site. Mr. Utt noted the Town did have areas to store chips, but not brush. A short discussion about purchase of a chipper ensued with Vice -Mayor East suggesting it might be worth looking into purchasing a chipper. Mr. Pedigo felt it was feasible to consider it. Mr. Radcliffe also thanked Public Works for their work on the water breaks. Mr. Kidd suggested that in looking at purchasing a chipper, look at least at a medium-sized unit, one that will meet Public Work's needs now and into the future. Vice -Mayor East then called on Mr. Clark for any comments. Mr. Clark said there was much going on in the Town with the ballpark attendance averaging 2,600 to 2,700 people. Many of the people he talked with at the games had not been to Pulaski before, which was a great thing. Vice -Mayor East then asked Mr. Goodman for his comments. Mr. Goodman said he wanted to address with Council a couple of issues from the June 6t" meeting. First he wanted to thank staff, Ms. Hair and Councilman Kidd for their assistance, and the public for their concern regarding a recent personal health issue. Then he expressed concern over telephone polling among Council members, maintaining that Council's work should be done publicly. While a discussion of ideas and issues were fine he said, informal planning of procedural matters left the public in the dark, which in turn lessened public trust. He encouraged all members of Council to carefully consider open government with respect to discussing Town matters. Page 9 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA Vice -Mayor East then called on Mr. Kidd who commented that he had used AskPulaski for several complaints and found that they were being expedited more quickly. He felt that the new Code Enforcement Officer also helped. He liked the developments but hoped to see the process become timelier. Vice -Mayor East then called on Mr. Penn for comments. Mr. Penn mentioned a complaint from a citizen on Bluff Street who was cited for obstructing traffic while picking up trash on Mt. Olivet Road, even though she parked off the street and there was little traffic. Mr. Penn asked if the citizen was not allowed to pick up trash, would the Town pick it up. Mr. Utt said he would get with the Police Department and find out what happened. Vice -Mayor East then reviewed a possible date for a Council retreat. Following discussion, Mr. Clark suggested the retreat be held in September, after school starts and vacations are over, which would also allow review of work done by the Town during the summer. There being no further discussion, Vice -Mayor East asked for a motion to go into Closed Session under Virginia Code 2.2-3711 (a) 7 of the 1950 Code of Va. as amended for one item involving a boundary adjustment. Mr. Goodman moved that the Council go into Closed Session under Va. Code 2.2-3711 (a) 7. Mr. Clark seconded the motion which was approved on the following roll call vote: Mr. Radcliffe -Aye Mr. East -Aye Mr. Clark -Aye Mr. Goodman -Aye Mr. Kidd -Aye Mr. Penn -Aye Council went into Closed Session at approximately 6:45. Council returned to chambers at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Goodman moved to certify that Council discussed only those matters under Code of Va. 2.2-3711 (a) 7 in the closed session. Mr. Clark seconded the motion which was carried on the following roll call vote: Mr. Radcliffe -Aye Mr. East -Aye Mr. Clark -Aye Mr. Goodman -Aye Mr. Kidd -Aye Mr. Penn -Aye Following a review of future meeting dates, Vice -Mayor East called for a motion to adjourn. Mr. Clark moved to adjourn; Mr. Radcliffe seconded the motion which was carried by unanimous voice vote at 7:02 p.m. ATTEST: David N. Quesenberry; Clerk of Council Approved: Gregory a t, ice -M yor Page 10 of 10/July 18, 2017 Audio DS400163.WMA
