[ WORK SESSION - 6:30 PM]
[00:00:10]
THIS IS MONDAY, JUNE 8TH, 2026. THIS IS THE WORK SESSION AT 6:30 P.M. OUR SECOND THING ON THE AGENDA TODAY WILL BE BY MR. KURT MCDANIEL. YOU HAVE THE FLOOR, SIR. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT. WE HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT CDC PROJECTS HERE ON THE WORK SESSION, AND SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THROUGH THESE FIRST READING, AND THEN I'LL EXPLAIN WHAT THE PROJECT IS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. SO FIRST READING OF CDC PROJECTS, A DISCUSS A RESOLUTION RATIFYING AND AUTHORIZING THE CDC TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE WALLS PROJECT, A NONPROFIT ENTITY FOR THE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF A DOWNTOWN MURAL ON CDC OWNED PROPERTY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $40,000, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY AND RELATED DOCUMENTS.
SO THIS WOULD BE FOR A NEW MURAL ALONG THE WALL OF THE EDC BUILDINGS THAT WE OWN DOWN DOWNTOWN. SO WHERE THE CHAMBER, ROUGHLY WHERE THE CHAMBER IS, WE CLEANED UP THAT WALL IN 2024, BUT THIS WOULD BE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE WALLS PROJECT, WHICH IS A NONPROFIT THAT OPERATES ACROSS MULTIPLE DIFFERENT STATES. THEY DO MURAL PROJECTS. THEY HAVE A AN ALIGNMENT OF A LOTS OF DIFFERENT MURALISTS TO COME IN PROFESSIONALLY LICENSED, INSURED, ALL OF THAT. AND THEN THEY ALSO DO A LOT OF THE MARKETING PIECES TO FOR THESE NEW MURALS. AND SO THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE FOR THEM TO DO A MURAL OVER THAT ENTIRE WALL. THAT'S A PRETTY LARGE ONE.
AND SO THAT'S WHERE THAT COST IS COMING FROM. WE WOULD ALSO BE DOING THIS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SEAGOVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. SO WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER THE FRAMEWORK FOR A CONTEST FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN SUBMITTING IDEAS FOR THE WALL. AND SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE ON THIS. SO EDC SPEND 40,000 ON THIS.
THE EXACT QUOTE IS FOR ABOUT 35000. AND THEN WE ADD A LITTLE BIT EXTRA JUST IN CASE THERE'S CONTINGENCIES OR CHANGE ORDERS THAT MAY ARISE. BUT. YES, SIR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THE SECOND READING OR FIRST READING OF ITEM NUMBER B, DISCUSS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN CDC AND CNM CONCRETE CONTRACTING, LLC FOR CONCRETE PAVING AND DRIVE APPROACH IMPROVEMENTS AT THE RAILROAD PARKING LOT FOR A PRICE NOT TO EXCEED $160,000, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY AND RELATED DOCUMENTS.
THIS WOULD TAKE THE GRASS PAD THAT IS RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THAT WALL IS, AND TRANSFORM IT INTO A PARKING LOT TO SERVE OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES, IT WOULD ADD ABOUT 37 SPACES APPROXIMATELY. AND THEN ALSO INCLUDED IN THAT QUOTE PRICE IS THE REDOING THE PARKING THAT IS IN FRONT OF SOULS HARBOR AND THE MASONIC LODGE. TO DO THAT, WE HAVE TO GET THE CONSENT OF WE OR WE WANT TO GET THE CONSENT OF BOTH OF THOSE BUSINESSES OR ENTITIES. AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT PROCESS TO GET THAT CONSENT. BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS ITEM IS FOR. SO I'M AGAIN, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUR PUBLIC PARKING RIGHT THERE. SO THAT WAS MY IMPRESSION. AND THAT'S WHY IN FRONT OF SOULS HARBOR AND THE THE MASONIC LODGE. SO YES, OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THAT'S PUBLIC PARKING, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY. AND THE D CAD LINES ARE A LITTLE BIT INCONCLUSIVE FOR WHERE THE RIGHT OF WAY PROPERTY EDGE OF THE CITY ENDS AND THEIR PROPERTY BEGINS. AND SO THE BEST PRACTICE FOR US IS TO GET A CONSENT FORM FROM THEM SAYING THEY HAVE NO OBJECTION TO IT. THE MASONIC LODGE DOESN'T HAVE ANY ANY ISSUE WITH IT. FOR THAT, THEY WERE ABLE TO SIGN THE DOCUMENTS PRETTY QUICKLY FOR SOULS HARBOR. THEY'RE THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE SUPPORTIVE, BUT THEY HAVE A BOARD AND APPROVALS THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH. AND SO THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON OR WORKING THROUGH THE PAPERWORK ON THAT END. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. AND THEN TO SEE FIRST READING, DISCUSS A RESOLUTION RATIFIED AND AUTHORIZING THE ENGAGEMENT OF C AND M CONCRETE CONTRACTING, LLC TO PROVIDE AND INSTALL A HANDRAIL FOR THE ADA RAMP LOCATED AT THE CDC OWNED PROPERTY AT MALLOY BRIDGE ROAD AND KAUFMAN STREET, FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $2,750, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY AND RELATED DOCUMENTS. THIS IS FOR. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF SIDEWALK AND CROSSWALK IMPROVEMENTS DOWNTOWN. ONE OF THOSE WAS ADDING AN ADA RAMP RIGHT NEXT TO DOE BELLIES. AND SO TO DO THAT, WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE ACTUAL GUARD POST AS WELL. AND SO CNM CAME IN AND COMPLETED THAT FOR US, SINCE THAT'S A ADA REQUIREMENT, I
[00:05:03]
WENT AHEAD AND APPROVED THAT. AND SO THIS IS REQUESTING THAT Y'ALL RATIFY THAT, THAT WORK THAT WAS COMPLETED. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL. MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE ON THE WORK SESSION. MR. MCGILL, YOU HAVE THIS FLOOR HAD A REQUEST FOR RESIDENTS THAT LIVED AROUND 806 THEDFORD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF INSTALLING A STREETLIGHT THERE. THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL CARS THAT HAVE BEEN HIT AT NIGHT AND CARS THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN INTO AND VANDALISM IN THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD AREA, AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN INSTALL A STREETLIGHT SOMEWHERE IN THAT AREA AROUND THE 806 THEDFORD. ANY QUESTIONS? BY STAFF DIRECTION. SO. CHRIS, CHRIS DOES HAVE SOME INFORMATION TO TO SHARE COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. SO THIS IS A MAP SHOWING THE CURRENT STREET LIGHTS AND THE RED PIN IS THE HOUSE IN QUESTION.THERE'S A STREETLIGHT CURRENTLY AT THE CORNER OF SHADY AND THETFORD, AND YOU CAN SEE THE SPACING OF THEM. IF WE WERE TO ADD ONE, IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO MEET SPECS AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A GUARD LIGHT. THERE WAS 500FT. IS THAT THE SPEC? YES, SIR. OKAY. WHAT'S THE TOTAL OF THAT LIGHT IF WE PUT ONE OUT THERE, DO WE KNOW. I MEAN THAT'S LIKE MAYBE 120, 150 FOOT AWAY CURRENTLY FROM THAT ONE. BUT I DON'T KNOW THE PRICE OF GUARD LIGHTS PER YEAR. IT'S PROBABLY LIKE 1000 OR 1500 BUCKS A YEAR, I WOULD SAY AT LEAST. IT'S BASICALLY A STREET LIGHT THAT THE CITY PAYS FOR. AND WE DIDN'T LOOK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A TELEPHONE POLE IN THE AREA ALREADY, BECAUSE IF NOT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD THAT. AND I KNOW THAT'S FIVE GRAND. MAYBE COST. I MEAN, YOU SEE THE SPACING ON ALL THE OTHER AREAS AND IT'S SIMILAR SPACING ON THOSE TWO. RIGHT. ON THAT SECTION THOUGH, THE 800 BLOCK, THEY ARE IN THE FRONT FOR SURE. I'M POSITIVE ON THAT. AND LIKE THE ONES THAT ARE FRONTING LAFONDA, THOSE ARE BACK BECAUSE THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE BACKYARD. SO IT'S BEHIND THEM, BUT THEY'RE ALL ON THAT LEFT SIDE OF THETFORD COMING FROM FARMERS. AND THERE IS TELEPHONE POLES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE END. BUT I DON'T KNOW THE SPACING OF THE TELEPHONE POLES. IT'S PRETTY CLOSE. RIGHT. I THINK THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE FROM THE EXISTING LIGHT IS LIKE 150 FOOT OKAY, WHICH IS REALLY CLOSE TO INSTALL. ANOTHER LIGHT THAT WOULDN'T BE WOULDN'T BE FEASIBLE. BUT IF THE LIGHT IS OUT, THEY CAN REPORT IT ON THIS OR WE CAN REPORT IT EITHER WAY TO IT'S JUST IF YOU GO ON ENCORE STREET LIGHTS, IT'LL PULL UP A MAP AND YOU JUST CLICK ON THERE AND REPORT OUTAGE. EASY. I DID ONE TWO WEEKS AGO AND I GOT FIXED LAST FRIDAY. SO THAT ONE LIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER IS OUT RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS OR NOT. THAT'S WHAT I'M JUST SAYING. I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE AT NIGHT.
I HAVEN'T BEEN AT NIGHT EITHER. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE WORKS. SO THAT'S THE ONE DOWN. NO CLOSER. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. THAT'S SO THAT HOUSE, THE ONE ON THE CORNER. THE HOUSE ON THE CORNER HAS A TELEPHONE POLE IN THE BACK OF THE FENCE. THERE'S A TELEPHONE POLE RIGHT THERE. RIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RED HOUSE, BECAUSE I'M ACROSS THE STREET NOW. SO AT NIGHT TIME, THIS IS KIND OF IFFY. IF IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT'S ON, SOMETIMES IT'S NOT. YEAH. IF IT'S IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN YOU CAN GO ON THERE AND PUT ON THERE THAT IT'S INTERMITTENT. YEAH. SHADY BROOK AND THETFORD SHADY AND THETFORD. THE FIRST TWO ARE ON. YEAH. THE FIRST TWO ARE ALWAYS ON. BUT SINCE I'VE BEEN GOING DOWN HERE THIS ONE'S IFFY. IF IT'S ON. YEAH. THERE'S A NUMBER ON THE TELEPHONE. THAT POLE YOU CAN CALL. CORRECT. WELL, YOU JUST GO ON THIS MAP AND YOU CLICK ON IT AND THAT DOT WILL LIGHT UP RED. AND THEN YOU CAN JUST FILE A REPORT RIGHT THERE. YEAH. I MEAN, I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO DO IT IF WE'RE SURE THAT IT'S INTERMITTENT. I'LL GO ON THERE AND MAKE A REPORT TOMORROW SAYING THAT IT'S INTERMITTENT ON AND OFF, ON AND OFF. BUT THERE'S A TELEPHONE POLE ON THAT CORNER HOUSE, BUT IT'S ON THE BACK OF THE FENCE. OKAY.
I'M ALMOST 100% SURE THERE'S A TELEPHONE POLE THERE. WELL, WE'RE. I THINK WE'RE TOO CLOSE.
IF WE FOLLOW THE STANDARD OF 500FT, THAT'S. I MEAN, THAT'S WAY TOO CLOSE. JUST TURN IT IN SO WE CAN GET IT. YEAH. I'M GOING TO TURN IT IN AS AN INTERMITTENT. THANK YOU. IF I CAN JUST I'VE NOTICED IF NEIGHBORS WOULD TURN ON, THEIR HOMEOWNERS WOULD PUT ON THE PORCH LIGHTS. IT HELPS. IT HELPS, YOU KNOW. YEAH, THAT END OF THE STREET IS TIGHT. IT'S TIGHTER THAN THIS END OF THE STREET. SO IF YOU GO ON THIS END OF THE STREET, THERE AIN'T.
BUT I DON'T EVEN THINK YOU COULD REALLY GET A FIRE TRUCK. THERE'S SO MANY CARS DOWN THERE.
[00:10:05]
YEAH, PARKED ON THAT STREET, SO IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT LOOK EVEN DARKER. THIS END OF THETFORD'S LIT UP FINE AND IT'S WIDER, BUT THAT END OF THE THETFORD IS JUST SUPER TIGHT EVERYWHERE DOWN THERE. YOU CAN BARELY DRIVE A PICKUP TRUCK TRUCK THROUGH THEIR YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO CLOSE THE MIRRORS ON MY TRUCK EVERY TIME I GO DOWN THERE. OKAY. ITEM NUMBER FOUR, MR. MCGILL. I HAD CORRESPONDENCE WITH PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON THESE TWO STREETS.REEVES GETS A LOT OF TRAFFIC FROM CENTRAL EVERY DAY, BACK AND FORTH. AND LUNDY LANE IS A VERY SHORT STREET. WE JUST DID ONE UP HERE OFF OF COFFMAN. I THINK IT'S CALLED HOWARD. IT'S A SIMILAR SITUATION. YOU'VE ONLY GOT LIKE 6 OR 7 HOUSES ON THAT STREET, SO IT'S BEEN IGNORED, I KNOW FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. SO WE POSSIBLY LOOK AT THOSE TWO STREETS AND GET THOSE RESURFACED. OKAY, SO I DID REACH OUT TO OUR ASPHALT CONTRACTOR AND GET PROPOSALS ON THEM. I THINK TOGETHER IT'S ROUGHLY 400,000 TO DO THOSE TWO STREETS. THE ISSUE IS THERE'S CURB AND GUTTER ON THE STREETS. CAN YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE? AND THE CURB AND GUTTER IS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION EITHER. SO THE ASPHALT QUOTE WOULDN'T BE GOOD BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO REDO THE CURB AND GUTTER. I YOU CAN'T REALLY TELL IN THIS PICTURE, BUT IF YOU SEE WHERE THE GRASS IS OVER THE GUTTER, KIND OF GOING TO THE NORTH THERE, THAT'S LIKE A FOOT LOWER THAN THE CURB AND GUTTER AT THE CORNER. THAT'S ALL BUSTED UP. SO IT'S DIPPED AND IT'S NOT LEVEL. SO IN ORDER TO PROPERLY DO THIS STREET, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT ENGINEERED AND REDO IT IN CONCRETE OR, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE HAVE HERE, THE CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER AND THEN ASPHALT. SO IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE UPWARDS OF THREE QUARTERS OF $1 MILLION TO DO THESE TWO STREETS. CURRENTLY CARRYING MYSELF AND JEREMY AND JUSTIN ARE HAVE MET WITH A. SERVICE COMPANY THAT WILL COME OUT AND DO A STREET INSPECTION ON ALL THE STREETS AND RATE EVERY STREET. SO THEN WE HAVE A RATING SYSTEM AND WE CAN GO BY THE SYSTEM AND DO THE STREETS IN ORDER FROM WORST TO BEST, YOU KNOW? AND AT THAT POINT, WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEE WHERE THIS STREET FALLS ON THE LIST AND GO FROM THERE. OKAY, THAT'S A GOOD PLAN. I LIKE THAT I'D GO WITH THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NUMBER FIVE, MR. MCGILL. RESIDENTS THAT LIVE ON MALLOY, THEY'RE DOWN TOWARD THE OLD ANIMAL SHELTER WHERE SEVERAL HOMES THERE AND BROUGHT THIS TO MY ATTENTION. AND IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH THERE, THERE'S A 40 MILE AN HOUR SIGN RIGHT CLOSE TO WALGREENS. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T DRIVE 40. THEY DRIVE OVER. EVEN IF WE SET IT AT 30, WE KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO DRIVE OVER 30. BUT ALL THE CITIES I'VE DRIVEN INTO ON THE EAST COAST AND EVERYWHERE ELSE, YOU COME INTO A TOWN, YOU USUALLY DROP DOWN TO 30, 35 MILES AN HOUR. AND THEY WERE ASKING IF POSSIBILITY WE COULD REDUCE THAT SPEED LIMIT THROUGH THERE. THERE'S A LOT OF REMNANTS PULLING INTO THE WALMART PARKING LOT OF PLASTIC BUMPERS AND STUFF. IT'S HARD TO GET IN AND OUT OF ALL THOSE BUSINESSES NOW WITH THE GRAVEL TRUCKS THAT FLY THROUGH THERE AND OTHER VEHICLES. SO. SO ME AND STEVE HAVE LOOKED AT THIS, IN THAT AREA THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS LISTED AS 40 MILE AN HOUR CURRENTLY. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ROSS, ALTHOUGH IT'S ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER ENTRANCE. CORRECT. AND THEN FROM THERE IT GOES TO 50. ONCE YOU PASS THE OLD ANIMAL SHELTER ENTRANCE. SO WE NEED TO.
WELL, MY THOUGHT IS WE'D BE 30 DOWN PAST ROBERT, DOWN PAST ROSS, WHERE YOU ENTER INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOWN THERE. AND AS YOU COME, COME BACK INTO FROM THAT DIRECTION, IT WOULD DROP DOWN TO 30 COMING INTO THE CITY. YEAH. BUT THEN WHAT? I LIVE ON A 25 MILE PER HOUR AND I GOT PULLED GOING 40, 50MPH. AND IT'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SO YEAH, I MEAN, IT SOUNDS GOOD.
IT LOOKS GOOD TO DROP THE SPEED LIMIT, BUT THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO IT. NOW HOW ARE THEY GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT? 30 HONESTLY, THAT'S TRUE. I MEAN. THAT'S WHAT THE BIG TRUCKS BIG TRUCKS AND STUFF COMING THROUGH. YEAH. THERE'S A COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL STREET.
BUT YEAH, I MEAN, THEY WOULD AGAIN, IT WOULD LOOK GOOD. THE OPTICS ARE GOOD. BUT ARE THEY REALLY GOING TO SLOW DOWN TO 30. AND EVEN IF WE DO THAT WE HAVE TO DO A STREET STUDY ON IT DON'T WE. I BELIEVE. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY ON THAT. NO. YOU JUST DROP IT. YEAH. YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. SO. ENFORCEMENT IS THE BEST TOOL. SHERIFF'S OFFICE OR HIGHWAY PATROL, I
[00:15:05]
DON'T KNOW, I MEAN THAT THAT'D BE THE HOW TO GET THIS SPEEDING. DROPPING THE SIGN 5 OR 10 MILES IS NOT GOING TO. ANYTHING ELSE. ALL WE CAN DO IS TRY. SO DON'T TRY. NOTHING CHANGES. THAT'S IT.THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX. THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE REGULAR SESSION ITEMS? MOVE IN A SECOND. WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 645 AND WE OKAY. YEAH.

WE'LL GO INTO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. JERRY AND HIS LAST NAME STARTS WITH A W, AND I DON'T THINK HE'S HERE. OOPS. NEXT ONE ON THE AGENDA IS.MYRON SCOTT. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS, AND YOU HAVE SIX MINUTES TO ADDRESS US.
MY NAME IS MYRON SCOTT. WE'VE BEEN HAVING. OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'VE BEEN HAVING AN ONGOING PROBLEM ON HIGH SCHOOL DRIVE. AND WE HAVE MANY ELDERLY PEOPLE LIVING THERE. AND I BOUGHT MY HOUSE IN 74, SO I'VE BEEN THERE QUITE A WHILE. AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN THERE QUITE A WHILE. BUT THE PROBLEM BEING IS THE DRAINAGE IN THAT ALLEY, THE DRAINAGE. THE WATER COMES DOWN TO THE BACK OF THE HOUSES. TWO OF MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSES ARE GETTING FLOODED. IT COMES WITHIN AN INCH OF MY PATIO COMING IN. MY HOUSE FLOODS ALL MY STORAGE BUILDING AND EVERYTHING OUT THERE. AND WE'VE HAD SOME BAD RAINS LATELY, AND I REALIZE THAT. BUT THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS, AND WE'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT TO THE WATER DEPARTMENT AND NO RESULTS. I UNDERSTAND IT'S COULD BE A COSTLY SITUATION, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WE'VE GOT WATER STANDING OUT THERE IN OUR BACKYARD. WE'VE GOT WATER STANDING IN THAT ALLEY, AND IT SENDS OUT THERE FOR A LONG TIME. MOSQUITOES. THEY, THEY, THEY LAY THEIR EGGS BACK THERE AND OF COURSE, THEY MULTIPLY. AND IT'S A PROBLEM FOR THE CHILDREN. AND WE JUST CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE. WE'VE, LIKE I SAY, WE WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS THING FOR THE LAST PROBABLY 15 YEARS AND STILL NO RESULTS. I'M JUST THINKING THAT THERE'S SOMETHING SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER THAT CAN BE
[00:20:01]
DONE TO DRAIN THAT WATER OUT OF THAT ALLEY BEFORE IT GETS INTO OUR YARDS. ANYWAY, THAT'S MY COMPLAINT. WELL, THE OTHER THING IS THE UPKEEP OF THE ALLEY. SOME OF THE PEOPLE THERE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO KEEP UP THE ALLEY WAY. THEY WOULD HAVE TO HIRE SOMEBODY TO DO THAT. AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING THAT WITH THAT WORK FOR THE CITY. AND AT TIMES THEY MAINTAIN THAT ALLEY. OTHER TIMES THEY SAY IT'S OUR OUR PROBLEM THAT WE NEED TO MAINTAIN IT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN ANSWER ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. WHO IS TO TAKE CARE OF THAT ALLEYWAY? BUT THAT'S THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE WE NEED TO ADDRESS. ANYWAY, I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY PROBLEMS AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME KIND OF RESULTS. YES, SIR. THANK YOU SIR. DONNIE. WILLIAM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE SIX MINUTES. YES. MY NAME IS DON WILLIAMS. I LIVE AT 811 HIGH SCHOOL DRIVE. I LIVE NEXT DOOR TO MR. SCOTT. I'VE BEEN AT. I'VE BEEN THERE 28 YEARS. I HAVE PICTURES HERE.I'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS PROBLEM MYSELF. I HAVE ELDERLY MOM GRANDBABY THAT LIVES WITH ME.
MY NEIGHBOR HAS KIDS TOO. WHEN IT RAINS, I MEAN IT'S MY HOUSE SMELLS LIKE MILDEW RIGHT NOW.
IT'S COMING IN THE BACK DOOR OF HER HOUSE TOO. AND WHERE I LIVED, ALLEY IS UP HERE ON BOTH ENDS AND IT'S SLOPED RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE. I BOUGHT A PUMP. I'VE BEEN PUMPING OUT WATER FOR ABOUT. I BOUGHT IT THREE MONTHS AGO. PUMPS OUT 1200 GALLONS A AN HOUR, AND IN ONE DAY I CAN LEAVE. AND IT TAKES ME FOUR DAYS BEFORE. TWO DAYS BEFORE I LEAVE THE BUCKET OUT OF MY YARD AND PUT IT IN THE ALLEY. SO I'M PUMPING OUT 20 20,000 GALLONS OF WATER OUT OF MY YARD BECAUSE THE ALLEY IS RUNNING RIGHT IN. ALL THAT WATER IS RUNNING RIGHT IN MY YARD, AND IT'S COMING IN. I IT'S COMING IN MY HOUSE. IT'S COMING IN MY HOME. I HAVE A GRANDBABY. LIKE I SAY THAT I RAISE AN ELDERLY MOM AND, AND I, I NEED HELP FIGHTING IT. I BOUGHT THE PUMP. I'M SPENDING THE ELECTRICITY. YOU KNOW, I'VE ASKED THE CITY, CAN Y'ALL HELP ME? SOMEHOW? THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME OUT ONCE. I JUST I UNDERSTAND IT'S GOING TO BE COSTLY. WHATEVER. YOU KNOW, I'M IN CONSTRUCTION MYSELF, BUT I MEAN, I'M JUST ASKING IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT, RIGHT? I MEAN, I CAN'T EVEN SELL MY HOME IF I WANTED TO, AND I JUST, I NEED HELP. I NEED HELP PUMPING THE WATER. IF YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING, AT LEAST GIVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL AND YOU'LL HELP ME PUMP IT OUT. WHEN IT DOES, IT TAKES ME FOUR DAYS TO GET IT, TWO DAYS TO GET IT OUT OF MY YARD AND MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THESE PICTURES, Y'ALL CAN. CAN I PRESENT THEM? WORSE? OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS? AND I MEAN, WE CAN'T KEEP LIVING LIKE THAT. I'VE LIVED OUT HERE 28 YEARS IN IN THAT. AND, AND DIMMER BETWEEN MINE AND THE THE LADY'S HOUSE NEXT DOOR. SHE RAISES THREE KIDS BY HERSELF AND SHE'S GOT A SMALL CHILD.
THEY'RE TWO. I CAN KEEP THEM. THANK YOU. WE WE'LL PASS THESE AROUND. WE'LL GET THEM BACK TO YOU. MR. ROBERT WAGSTAFF. SAME PROBLEM. MINE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BY THE WAY. I HAVE SEEN NAME AND ADDRESS. ROBERT WAGSTAFF. I LIVE AT 1212 ROSS, BUT I OWN 805 AND 807 HIGH SCHOOL ALSO. THANK YOU, BUT I HAVE SEEN THE WATER ALL THE WAY TO MY BACK DOOR. BUT MY PROBLEM IS NOT THE PROPERTY FLOODING. THE ONLY THING FLOODS IN MY PLACE IS THE ALLEY. BUT WHEN WE HAVE A BAD STORM, THE HIGH LINE WIRES COME DOWN. THEY SEND A BIG TRUCK DOWN THE ALLEY AND THEY GET THE HELL OUT OF IT. WE CAN'T MOW IT. NEXT THING I KNOW, CODE ENFORCEMENT OVER THERE THREATENING TO WRITE ME TICKETS FOR NOT MOWING IT. I WENT OVER ONE DAY AND I'VE GOT A ZERO TURN GRASSHOPPER. I WENT OVER AND BURIED IT UP. TOOK ME ABOUT AN HOUR TO GET IT OUT. ROBERT HONEYCUTT OWES ME A BEER MORE. HE GOT WITH BIGGER TIRES. TOOK ME ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GET THAT ONE OUT, AND IT STILL WASN'T MOWED, BUT I'VE BEEN THERE A LITTLE BIT LONGER. I
[00:25:01]
KNOW BACK WHEN I WAS ABOUT SIX, MY DAD TOOK A TWO WHEEL ALL STATE TRACTOR BEFORE THEY BUILT THAT OLD HOUSES AND CUT A BERM BACK THERE TO BLOCK THE WATER OFF OF THAT FIELD. AND WHEN THAT BARN WAS DOWN, HE WENT TO THE MAYOR, KEN CARTER. BACK THEN, KEN CARTER HIMSELF GOT ON A MOTOR GRADER. COME ON, BLADE OF DEATH GOT IT TO DRAIN AGAIN. AND THEN THEY BUILT THE HOUSES ON GWINNETT. WHEN THEY BUILT THAT, THEY MISSED ALL THE DRAINAGE UP AGAIN. SO SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I MEAN, IT'S NOT CRITICAL TO ME, BUT IT IS TO THEM. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS.[Consent Agenda]
EXTENDED AGENDA ITEMS ROUTINE GENERALLY ACTED. ONE MOTION DESCRIPTION IS IS ON THE SCREEN FOR ITEMS NUMBER 12. IF THE COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR ANYTHING MAYOR, I MOVE WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. SECOND THAT MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12. ALL IN FAVOR? NONE OPPOSED. MOTION. AND A SECOND. I DON'T THINK I[Regular Agenda]
SAID THAT. MOVING TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13. MR. CHRIS RYAN, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.MAYOR, COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER TONIGHT. I'M HERE TO ASK TO APPROVE AN ENGINEERING FOR TWO WATER LINE PROJECTS, P ONE AND PL NINE. CURRENTLY, THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD HAS A GRANT FUNDING PROGRAM OUT FOR UP TO $21 MILLION FOR OUR CITY, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST BASED ON OUR ALL OF OUR CALCULATIONS THAT THAT GO INTO IT. ONE OF THE ISSUES IS, THOUGH, WE NEED SHOVEL READY PROJECTS, AND THE ENGINEERS THINK THAT THEY CAN GET ALL THE SURVEYING DONE AND ALL THE PROJECT TO A POINT WHERE IT WILL BE SHOVEL READY BEFORE FUNDING COMES IN ON THESE TWO PROJECTS. PL ONE IS A WATER LINE FROM OUR ROAD PUMP STATION, GOING UNDERNEATH THE HIGHWAY AND CONNECTING IN BY THE VALERO THERE AT SIMONS, AND THEN PL NINE IS A WATER LINE PROJECT THAT GOES FROM ENVIRONMENTAL WAY TYING IN THERE AT ENVIRONMENTAL AND BOWERS AND LOOPING BACK AROUND TO THE WATER TOWER AT THE SERVICE CENTER. BOTH OF THESE LINES WILL INCREASE THE FLOWS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY. SO THEY'RE VERY VITAL TO OUR WATER SYSTEM. THE REASON THEY'RE LABELED PL ONE AND PL NINE IS THAT WAS IN OUR MASTER PLAN. WE OBVIOUSLY MOVED PL NINE UP AND ARE GOING TO BUMP SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS FURTHER BACK. THIS IS CURRENTLY NOT FUNDED IN THE BUDGET, SO IT WILL BE COMING OUT OF THE RESERVES OR THE FUND BALANCE. THIS IS ONLY WATER PROJECTS AND THE THE GRANT IS ONLY FOR WATER LINE PROJECTS TO HELP DISTRIBUTION THE RESERVES OUT OF THE WATER, THE WATER AND SEWER. YES, SIR. AND IT IS CALCULATED INTO THE RATE STUDY THAT WILL BE PRESENTED NEXT MONTH. SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY THE HARD ROAD TO SIMONS WHY WHY IT'S STOPPING THERE. SO WHEN I FIRST STARTED HERE, WE HAD A WATER LINE BLOWOUT UNDERNEATH THE HIGHWAY AND THEY NEVER REPLACED IT. THEY JUST TIED IT IN WITH A LITTLE PIECE OF SIX INCH. AND THIS WILL REPLACE ALL THAT. SO WHY IT STOPS AT SIMONS IS IT'S TIME TO A 12 INCH AT THAT POINT.
OKAY, OKAY. FROM THERE IT'S 12IN. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING THE OTHER SIDE OF ART AND WE'RE REPLACING THAT 12 WITH A 18 OR THAT EIGHT WITH A 18. THIS WILL REPLACE THE 12 THAT ONLY RUNS TO BELL AND THEN GOES DOWN BELL STREET WITH 18. AND IT'LL CONTINUE ALL THE WAY UNDERNEATH THE HIGHWAY AND DOWN THE SERVICE ROAD AND TIE INTO ALL THOSE STREETS, GLENN TUNNEL ALL THE WAY TO SIMONS ROAD. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS REPLACING A SIX AND EIGHT INCH MAIN, AND THEN ADD IN AN AREA THAT WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE WATER MAINS AT, AND RUNNING A 12 ALL THE WAY TO THE SERVICE CENTER, WHICH WILL ALLOW THAT SOUTHERN SIDE TO MAYBE POTENTIALLY DEVELOP. NO PROBLEM. THANK YOU ALL, MAYOR. APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 13. OKAY. GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13. ALL IN FAVOR? NONE OPPOSED. MOVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 14. MR. KIRK MCDANIEL. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. OH, PERFECT. THANK YOU. THIS IS PART OF THE CULMINATION OF THE DIFFERENT JOINT WORKSHOPS THAT THE EDC CITY COUNCIL AND PNC ALL DID TOGETHER STARTING NOVEMBER AND THEN IN JANUARY. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE POINTS
[00:30:01]
THAT WE HAD IN OUR REPORT OF ADOPTING AN OFFICIAL VISION STATEMENT. SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ IT. THIS IS THE PROPOSED VISION FOR THE CITY OF SEAGOVILLE CITY IS A SAFE, MULTI-GENERATIONAL COMMUNITY WITH SMALL TOWN CHARM, A THRIVING ECONOMY, AND VIBRANT PUBLIC SPACES WHERE ALL CAN PROUDLY LIVE, WORK AND PLAY. WE THINK THAT THESE. THESE. THIS STATEMENT PROMOTES THE VALUES THAT WERE DISCUSSED WITH YOU ALL AS PART OF THOSE JOINT WORKSHOPS AND WOULD BE FITTING. BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE.WE'RE GOING TO COMMUNICATE THIS VISION. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. WE'RE GOING TO BE PART OF THE MURAL. YEAH, I GUESS, BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO PUSH THIS OUT THERE? YOU START YOU'LL START SEEING IT ON A LOT OF THE THINGS LIKE THE BUDGET BOOK AND OTHER DOCUMENTS, PUBLIC DOCUMENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE SEND OUT MAYBE THE UTILITY BILL AND WATER BILL, THE WATER BILL WEBSITE. YEP. ALL THOSE PUBLIC FACING COMMUNICATIONS THAT WE ENGAGE WITH. THE MURAL LAST A LONG TIME. VISION STATEMENTS ARE. I MEAN, THAT'S CONSENSUS OF THE TIME. OKAY. THANK YOU.
YOU ALL DID. OH, OKAY. PRETTY GOOD TO ME. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THERE A MOTION I MOVE WE APPROVE THE AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER 14. SECOND, A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 14. ALL IN FAVOR? NONE OPPOSED. MOVING TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 16. MR. KIRK MCDANIEL.
YOU STILL HAVE THE FLOOR. SO AGENDA ITEM 15151515. YEAH. RIGHT. I'M SORRY. SO THIS IS ADOPTING OFFICIAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE CITY AS IT RELATES TO TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONES, WHICH IS A TYPE OF SPECIAL DISTRICT. THE CITY EMPLOYED THAT FOR THE SANTORINI PROJECT. AND THEN IN OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE GREEN WALL PROJECT, WE ALSO INCLUDED COMPONENTS FOR A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE. WE LIKE TO HAVE THESE POLICIES ON HAND SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THEM TO DEVELOPERS AND THEN HAVE A GUIDE THAT WE CAN POINT TO AND SAY, THIS IS OUR PROCESS, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE VALUING. THAT SAID, WE'VE MADE IT A POINT TO MAINTAIN THE CITY'S FLEXIBILITY WHENEVER IT COMES TO THESE POLICIES. AND SO EVERYWHERE WHERE IT SAYS WITHIN THESE ARE OUTCOMES THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, IT ALSO SAYS IT'S ULTIMATELY THE DISCRETION OF THE CITY COUNCIL. AND SO THIS THIS POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL THAT WE PUT TOGETHER FOR THE TOURS KIND OF LAYS OUT WHAT THE CREATION PROCESS IS, THE DESIRED DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES THAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR, AND COMPONENTS LIKE THAT. IT ALSO INCLUDES A REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEVELOPER TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, AS WELL AS PAY A TOURS APPLICATION FEE. AND SO THEY WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE AN APPLICATION FORM THEY HAVE TO FILL OUT AND SUBMIT TO STAFF FOR REVIEW. AND SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS. THERE. A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 15. A MOTION A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 15. ALL IN FAVOR? NONE OPPOSED. MOVING TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 16. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE'RE GETTING BACK TO THE THANK YOU. SORRY. NOW WE'RE GETTING BACK TO THE SCDC PROJECT. SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND DO THE SECOND READINGS THEN. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE.
ITEM 16 SECOND READING. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER RESOLUTION RATIFYING AUTHORIZING THE SCDC TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE WALLS PROJECT, A NONPROFIT ENTITY FOR THE DESIGN INSTALLATION OF A DOWNTOWN MURAL ON SCDC OWNED PROPERTY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $40,000, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY AND RELATED DOCUMENTS.
DO WE HAVE I'M SORRY, DO WE HAVE DETAILS AS TO WHAT THIS MURAL CAN AND CANNOT CONTAIN? I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE GENERIC. WE WE DON'T HAVE DETAILS ON THAT YET. WHAT STAFF'S WORKING ON PUTTING TOGETHER A. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE PROPOSED CONTEST THAT THE HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE PARTICIPANTS IN. AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE ART TEACHERS. MOST OF THEM ARE ON SUMMER BREAK RIGHT NOW. AND SO THE EXPECTATION IS FOR THAT THAT CONTEST TO START IN SEPTEMBER. BUT WITH THE APPROVAL OF THIS, WE'LL SHARE THOSE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WITH THE WALLS PROJECT. WHO'S KIND OF GONE THROUGH SOME OF THESE BEFORE. AND THEY'LL BE
[00:35:03]
ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF ARTISTIC FEEDBACK OF ELEMENTS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO BE INCLUDED AND CONSIDERED. AND WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH THE EDC BOARD AS WELL.
