C
A
D
Okay,
thank
you
chairman
and
committee
members,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
a
portion
of
Senate,
Bill
141
and
the
portion
I'm
going
to
speak.
To
is
how
code
enforcement
liens
have
been
streamlined
to
make
collections
easier
and
help
cities
eliminate
blight
and
vacant
properties
to
make
them
more,
affordable
and
more
viable
business
use.
A
few
changes
are
the
following:
first,
if
cities
prepare
their
property
tax
bills
and
do
property
tax
collections
themselves,
they
can
include
the
amount
of
any
outstanding
code
enforcement
lien
on
this
bill.
D
It
must
be
treated
and
listed
as
a
separate
item
on
the
bill
and
may
not
be
considered
part
of
the
underlying
ad
valorem
tax
liability
and
second,
if
the
code
enforcement
lien
is
not
paid
or
is
paid
after
the
due
date,
it
can
only
be
enforced
the
traditional
code
enforcement
lien
process.
Secondly,
the
legislation
permits
the
city
to
use
the
provisions
of
the
mass
foreclosure
act
to
enforce
uncollected
code
enforcement.
Liens
the
same
mayor
that
cities
use
the
provisions
to
enforce
unpaid
property
taxes.
D
This
allows
properties
of
defunct
non-profits
that
have
been
blighted,
other
vacant
and
abandoned
properties
without
outstanding
tax
liabilities
or
properties.
That
are
not
being
maintained
with
multiple
unknown
errors
to
be
included
in
these
corporate
hearings,
where
due
prices
will
permit
the
transfer
of
clean
titles
to
the
master
commissioner's
sale.
E
E
There's
been
a
a
lot
of
work
around
the
clock
for
the
last
several
days
on
this
and
I
believe
we
have
come
to
concessions
I'm
going
to
go
through
the
basic
parts
of
the
bill
and
then
I'm
going
to
invite
two
guests
up
to
introduce
themselves
and
let
them
speak
on
the
bill.
We'll
have
JD
Cheney
from
KLC
and
Jim
Henderson
from
caico
to
come
up
and
speak
to
that,
and
your
gentleman
can
come
on
up.
E
E
We
start
in
section
three,
and
this
is
a
city
that
is
annexed,
initiated
annexation
under
KRS
chapter
181a,
owner
after
March
1st
of
2023,
but
has
not
completed
the
annexation
prior
to
the
effective
date
of
this
act
shall
not
complete
the
annexation
unless
it
meets
the
requirements
of
subsection
3
of
this
section,
in
addition
to
any
other
statutory
requirements
for
the
annexation
owner
after
the
effective
date
of
this
act
and
prior
to
July
21
July
1st
of
2024,
a
city
shall
not
initiate
annexation
procedures
under
KRS.
E
Chapter
81a
accept
is
set
out
in
subsection
3
of
deception
and,
in
addition
to
any
other
statutory
requirements
annexation
within
the
time
limits
prescribed
in
subsections.
One
and
two
of
this
section
May
proceed
or
be
initiated.
If
the
city
can
demonstrate
that
an
opportunity
for
substantial
Economic
Development
has
been
impeded
if
parcel
of
land
is
not
annexed.
E
Such
a
demonstration
would
include
the
necessity
of
the
extension
of
city
services
to
this
partial
for
the
location
of
the
business
or
other
development
that
provides
evidence
that
it
will
not
locate
in
that
partial,
absent
Services
significa,
specifically
available
from
the
city
annexing
the
partial
land.
Would
directly
facilitate
the
delivery
or
new
or
substantially
improved
services
that
cannot
be
provided
by
the
city
or
any
subunit
of
the
city,
absent
annexation
or
the
lack
of
annexation
will
result
in
the
substantial
loss
of
services.
E
A
contact,
a
contract
lit
prior
to
the
effective
date
of
this
act
will
be
voided
by
the
moratorium
in
the
case
of
an
annexation
underway,
as
described
in
subsection.
One
of
this
section,
the
property
owner
made
a
request
for
the
annexation
of
his
or
her
property.
The
property
is
contiguous
to
the
existing
City
boundary,
and
the
city
has
provided
written
notice
to
the
Fiscal
Court
when
the
property
is
located
at
least
45
days
prior
to
enacting
a
final
ordinance
e.
The
city
has
received
concurrence
for
the
annexation
from
the
Fiscal
Court.
E
Four,
in
addition
to
any
persons
withstanding
otherwise
provided
by
Statute
or
in
a
common
law,
the
County
government
containing
the
city,
asserting
that
an
annexation
completed
within
the
time
frame
prescribes
in
subsections.
One
and
two
of
this
section
was
completed
without
meeting
the
demonstrated
Necessities
or
exceptions
and
set
out
in
subsection.
3
of
this
section
shall
have
a
standing
to
challenge
the
annexation
in
the
Circuit
Court
of
jurisdiction,
provided
that
the
action
is
initiated
no
later
than
45
days
following
the
date
of
the
publication
of
the
ordinance.
E
E
The
provisions,
these
sections
shall
not
apply
in
counties
that
have
adopted
Urban
County,
former
government
pursuant
to
KRS
chapter
67a
or
the
Consolidated
local
form
of
government
government
pursuant
to
KRS
chapter
67a,
and
that
particularly
addresses
Jefferson
County
and
Fayette
County
am
I,
correct,
General,
okay,
there's
been
a
lot
of
questions
on
that.
The
legislative
research
commission
is
hereby
directed
to
establish
task
force.
E
Local
government
annexation,
tax
force
and
local
government
and
annexations
shall
investigate
and
make
recommendations
regarding
the
present
statutory
methods
for
the
city,
annexation,
The,
Beneficial
and
deleterious
effects
of
City
annexation
on
issues
such
as
taxation,
Economic,
Development
provision
and
sustainability
of
water,
gas,
electric
sewer
and
other
Utility
Services
police
protection,
fire
protection
and
emergency
services
from
the
perspective
of
local
governments
and
their
residents,
and
any
Rec
recommended
change
to
statutory
law
arising
from
the
task
force.
Deliberation
the
task
force
on
the
local
government.
E
Annexation
sound
consists
of
four
members
of
the
Senate
important
appointed
by
the
president
of
the
Senate,
one
of
whom
shall
be
a
member
of
the
minority
party.
Four
members
of
the
House
of
Representatives
appointed
by
the
Speaker
of
the
House,
one
of
whom
shall
be
a
member
of
the
minority
party.
Final
membership
of
the
task
force
is
subject
to
the
consideration
and
approval.
C
E
Section
8
provisions
of
sections
four
through
seven
of
this
act
to
the
contrary.
Notwithstanding
the
legislative
research
commission
shall
have
the
authority
to
alternate,
alternatively,
assign
the
issues
identified
here
into
an
interim
joint
committee
or
subcommittee
thereof,
and
to
designated
study
completion
date.
Sections
four
section:
9
sections
4
to
8
of
this
act.
E
I
have
the
same
legal
status
as
the
Senate
concurrent
resolution
in
section
10,
where
it
is
important
to
ensure
that
cities
May
begin
to
put
in
place
measures
to
collect
outstanding
liens
and
whereas
it
is
important
to
ensure
that
any
deleterious
effects
of
annexation
are
ceased
at
the
earliest
opportunity.
An
emergency
is
declared
to
exist
and
this
act
takes
effect
upon
its
passage
and
approval
by
the
governor
or
upon
its
otherwise
becoming
law.
E
I'm
going
to
speak
to
just
a
few
things
that
I
have
been
asked
for
members
and
I
want
to
direct
these.
If
you
don't
mind
Mr,
chair
to
the
gentleman
on
either
side
of
me
to
make
sure
we're
all
in
agreement,
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
this
is
a
moratorium
for
one
year
on
annexation,
with
exceptions.
E
The
first
two
that
I've
already
noted
are
are
for
counties
and
basically
Jefferson
County
and
Fayette
County.
They
have
different
forms
of
government
where
this
is
not
necessarily
applicable.
There
are
exceptions
where
there
are
processes
in
place
that
have
substantial
Economic
Development
contracts
in
place.
Already.
There
are
exceptions
where
the
city
and
County,
the
local
governments
can
Concur
and
agree,
and
there
are
exceptions
for
if
there
is
a
substantial
economic
development
that
is,
that
comes
comes
up
during
this
process.
We
don't
want
to
impede
that
Economic
Development
am
I
correct
on
that
gentlemen.
E
And
I
can
assure
all
those
out
there
I've
talked
to
I,
think
I
could
literally
say
hundreds
of
judges,
County,
Commissioners,
Mayors,
City,
commissioners,
County
magistrates
and
all
the
way
down
the
line
and
the
intent
of
the
general
assembly
I
believe
and
my
purpose
in
this
is
Economic
Development
and
what
we
can
do
to
encourage
companies
to
come
to
the
Commonwealth
and
when
there
are
disagreements
or
anything
between
city
and
county
governments
or
any
governments.
It's
hard
to
get
a
company.
E
That's
maybe
wanting
to
spend
two
three
four
hundred
million,
possibly
billion
dollars
and
come
in
and
and
it
becomes
an
obstacle.
So
the
priority
is
to
make
sure
that
we
can
set
the
framework
with
this
group
together
to
look
at
how
it's
currently
done
see
if
that's
sufficient
or
see.
If
her
changes
to
be
made,
and
my.
E
Like
for
each
for
Mr
Cheney
and
Mr
Henderson
both
to
make
a
statement
on
behalf
of
their
organization,
if
you
don't
mind,
Mr,
chair
yep,.
C
Jd
Cheney
I'm,
the
CEO
executive
director
of
the
Kentucky
League
of
cities,
I
know
you're
unaccustomed
to
me
being
brief,
but
I
will
be
at
on
this
occasion.
We
would
like
to
thank
on
behalf
of
my
members,
the
opportunity
provided
by
the
speaker
and
Senate
President
Stivers
to
have
a
discussion
about
this
matter.
We
are
anticipating
a
productive
discussion
over
the
interim
that
this
bill
provides
through
the
task
force.
C
We
look
forward
to
to
having
that
discussion
about,
as
representative
Bridges
said
about
Economic
Development
and
growth
in
our
communities,
creation
of
jobs,
the
creation
of
quality
residents
that
occur
in
our
cities,
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
collaborating
with
their
Partners
in
local
government
in
that
discussion
in
a
good
faith
way.
As
a
result
of
this
change
just
to
be
very
clear
as
a
result
of
this
change,
the
document
that
you're
about
to
approve
Kentucky
League
of
cities
is
no
longer
opposed
to
this
legislation.
F
I'll,
just
excuse
me,
Jim
Henderson,
I
work
for
Keiko
I
would
Echo
the
thanks
for
the
work.
That's
been
gone,
going
on
for
the
last
few
days
in
particular,
both
JD
and
I
have
spent
a
collective,
a
number
of
hours
together,
Maybe
10
or
so
in
the
last
72
between
being
asked
to
meet
and
talk
about
this
issue
after
the
topic
was
broached,
I
I
know
this
is
a
hard
topic.
F
I
I
don't
get
to
pick
the
process,
so
we've
we've
tried
to
work
within
the
framework
of
the
process
of
the
last
few
days
and
I
appreciate
your
all's
comments
about
that.
F
I
want
to
thank
you
for
creating
the
conversation
over
the
interim
to
address
some
of
these
decades
old
laws
that
are
hodgepodge
and
piecemeal
in
a
way
that
has
been
very
detrimental
for
counties
and
all
we've
asked
for
when
we
testified
last
fall
before
this
Committee
in
The
Joint
Committee
with
the
Senate
was
to
have
a
chance
to
have
a
a
con,
a
conversation,
ongoing
conversation
and
so
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
have
that
in
the
interim.
F
We
just
asked
for
the
opportunity
to
have
the
the
playing
field
be
fair
for
counties
and
that's
all
we've
asked
for
so
we
look
forward
to
the
task
force
with
your
leadership
here,
we're
committed
to
reaching
an
agreement
with
our
city
Partners
on
long-term
policy
improvements
and
deliver
meaningful
recommendations
on
our
behalf,
hopefully
to
you
all
the
next
sessions
on
behalf
of
caico
and
it's
120
counties,
1500
plus
members.
We
appreciate
opening
the
door
to
the
dialogue.
Thank
you.
We.
A
Do
have
a
motion
in
a
second
I
believe
there
are
some
questions
start
off
with
representative
Lockett.
G
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
I,
just
have
a
quick
question
section
three
subsection
3A,
where
it
says
an
opportunity
for
substantial
Economic
Development
will
be
impeded
and
it
continues
on.
Could
you
define
for
me
what
substantial
economic
development
is.
F
My
thought
was
that
it's
somewhat
intentionally
vague
to
give
the
broadest
interpretation
of
that
from
our
perspective,
I'm,
not
sure
that
would
be
exactly
the
same
opinion
JD
golf.
Certainly
let
you
speak
to
that.
C
Ultimately,
representative
Lockett,
it
would
it's
not
defined
in
the
build,
but
it
would
be
defined,
probably
by
Court,
given
the
action
Provisions
here.
That
would
allow
a
challenge
for
any
annexation
that
proceeds
under
these
Provisions.
That
would
be
debated
in
court.
If
there
was
a
challenge
under
this
temporary
legislation
about
whether
it's
substantial
I
view
it,
as
personally
from
from
my
legal
perspective,
is
that
could
vary
from
jurisdiction
to
jurisdiction.
A
Quick
Mart
in
Fleming
neon
might
be
substantial,
whereas
a
quick
mark
in
Bardstown
may
not
be
so.
E
And
I
want
to
follow
up
with
that,
the
key
word
if
it
were
challenged
and
that
that
is
I'll
agree
that
that
is
sort
of
a
vague
term,
but
the
intentions
behind
that,
as
is,
is
Mr
Cheney,
has
said
it's
relevant
to
the
community
you're
looking
at
and
the
size
of
the
community.
There's
a
very
small
community.
A
convenience
store
can
be
a
big
challenge,
a
big
deal
in
a
larger
Community.
It
may
not,
but
depending
on
the
community,
I
feel
like
that.
E
The
local
governments
will
look
at
that
and
if
it's
important
to
both
of
them,
there
is
Provisions
for
them
to
work
it
out
before
they
have
to
challenge
it
in
court
and
if
it's,
if
it's
a
big
enough,
if
it's
substantial
I,
believe
you'll
see
that
happen,
because
we
can
look
at
it
at
earlier
factors
before
this
is
put
in
place
to
where
communities
have
come
together
and
have
worked,
and
in
our
research,
local
governments
that
work
together.
E
We
have
examples
where
they
are
flourishing
and
and
and
that's
the
intent
to
bring
us
all
together,
get
us
on
the
same
page.
Let's
focus
on
what
we
have
in
common,
and
that
is
our
for
economic
development,
rather
than
looking
at
our
differences
and
causing
divisions.
So
hopefully
this
will
be
an
effort
to
bring
it
together.
H
As
has
been
stated
in
this
hearing,
this
is
rather
complicated
and
the
complications
have
have
ensued
when
I
first
talked
with
the
KLC
staff
about
this
bill,
it
House
Bill,
141,
Senate,
Bill
141,
rather
did
not
include
anything
about
annexation.
H
A
H
That
I
cannot
be
in
favor
of
the
annexation
or
or
the
the
code
enforcement
liens
and
taking
properties.
It's
a
serious
problem
for
me
and
my
district
I
understand
what
has
been
or
what
is
being
attempted
to
do,
but
I
cannot
be
in
favor
of
this
legis
of
the
committee
sub.
E
C
I
I
just
want
to
express
my
sincere
appreciation
to
both
of
you
all
for
your
willingness
to
work
on
this
and
to
have
this
conversation,
because
it
has
put
a
lot
of
us
in
a
very
difficult
situation
that
none
of
us
ever
wanted
to
be
in.
We
respect
both
of
your
organizations
and
what
you
do
for
our
state
and
our
and
our
local
community,
so
I
want
to
say
that
off,
first
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
is
it.
I
It
is
our
tax
policies
and
our
change
in
policies
that
have
put
us
on
this
trajectory
towards
an
increasing
population
and
economic
development,
and
so
it
this
situation
is
only
going
to
increase
as
we
go
forward
and
so
I
think
it's
very
important
and
and
I
do
appreciate
your
willingness
to
do
this
and
I
vote
I.
J
I
think
gotta
make
a
quick
comment
just
exactly
like
she
said
this
was
a
tough
situation
to
be
in
I
used
the
analogy:
it's
like
our
parents
were
divorcing
and
we
were
forced
to
figure
out
who
he
wanted
to
live
with.
So
I
think
this
is
a
good
compromise
and
I'm
glad
that
both
sides
are
are
happy
with
the
situation.
I'm
a
yes.
F
K
Yes,
with
one
comment:
please
I
vote
Yes
because
I
agree
with
the
divorcing
parent
that
Kentucky
can
only
be
as
great
as
his
cities
in
his
counties
and
if
you
two
are
fighting,
we
don't
win
and
to
rep
Bridges.
Thank
you
for
being
the
what
do
they
calling
Guardian
Ad
Litem
and
making
sure
that
we
can
move
forward.
So
thank
you.

There's
been
a
lot
of
angst
go
on
in
the
last
few
days,
and
this
is
a
tough
topic
and
I
want
to
express
my
appreciation
to
both
House
and
Senate
leadership,
to
acknowledge
that
we
gotta
look
at
the
tough
questions
and
we
gotta
face
the
tough
issues
and
in
in
local
government
I,
don't
believe,
there's
any
tougher
issues,
because
we
got
two
of
the
strongest
organizations
in
our
state
right
here.
E
I
think
the
two
strongest
and
I
appreciate
and
I
want
to
extend
the
appreciation
of
leadership
to
both
Mr
Cheney
and
Mr
Henderson
to
Keiko
and
KLC,
and
there
would
be
one
person.
I
would
be
amiss
if
I
didn't
acknowledge
two
and
that's
the
vice
chair
break
he's
worked
hard
long
and
hard
on
this,
as
is
everyone.
Our
staff
members
have
spent
multiple
multiple
hours
late
night,
working
on
draft
after
re-draft
after
re-draft
and
there's
been
I.
E
Don't
think
we
could
ever
name
everyone
that
has
been
involved
in
this,
but
we
do
appreciate
that
and
we
appreciate
our
members
of
this
committee
and
what
what
how
they've
had
to
deal
with
short
notices,
short
explanations,
a
very
fluid
atmosphere
where
things
were
changing
by
the
second
and
it
is
stuff,
but
you've
shown
the
leadership
of
what
you
were
likely
to
do
here
and
I
appreciate
each
and
every
one
of
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
chair.
