00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:06,720

00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,510

» Okay, um we have two items on the

47
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:45,920
questions starting from Councilwoman

48
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,240
Blackwell?

49
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,800

00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,480
>> I just on the um

51
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,120
item well uh

00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,640
I don't know what the number is on

53
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,160
letter A.

54
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Are we going to

55
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,080
get that or I'm sorry if you're

56
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,000
>> It's in the packet.

57
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,960
Okay, good.

58
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,040
Do you mind if I look at that? Thank

59
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,451
you.

60
00:02:04,451 --> 00:02:06,000
>> [clears throat]

61
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
>> So, no changes, right? And then

62
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200
>> So, this is the tax rate, the certified

63
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,080
tax rate. So, it keeps everything the

64
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,680
same. We do get money for new growth,

65
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,280
which in this case was

66
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Uh

67
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,840
>> 38,500

68
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,720
>> at 45,000 and got a little less than

69
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:23,840
that.

70
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,200
>> I'm finally understanding it. So, thank

71
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,800
you. And then on the second, uh letter

72
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,480
B, uh

73
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,360
that's 22K.

74
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,040
And pardon if this is in the packet. Um

75
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,560
Is

76
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,280
>> It was.

77
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,040
>> Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

78
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,200
>> Um

79
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,000
>> I won't take long. The uh

80
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,440
This is

81
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,640
I was trying to under- I actually did

82
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,040
read this. I was trying to understand

83
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,560
This is just for the change

84
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,959
uh that we

85
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:51,720
asked for to show brick or not Not for

86
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,360
anything else. This is just for them to

87
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,600
do more designs.

88
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,040
>> This is the to update the plans and the

89
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,920
structural for the exterior changes that

90
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,880
were approved last Tuesday night.

91
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,120
>> But this is just for their time of like

92
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,440
changing it to look like brick or

93
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,160
whatever or not.

94
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,680
>> Right. That's not for the material

95
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,400
changes. We haven't had We don't have

96
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,400
the price tag on that yet. But we're

97
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,239
hoping the price difference will negate,

98
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:14,720
but we have no idea what that will be

99
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,959
until the bid comes through.

100
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:18,400
>> So, I just I don't know. That seems like

101
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,000
a lot, 22 grand for that. Um so, I'm

102
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,120
kind

103
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,160
>> This is what happens when you do a

104
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,200
change order. They have complete control

105
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,600
over the cost because they're already

106
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,959
contracted.

107
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:27,480
>> Right.

108
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,800
>> Um we This is what they gave us. I did

109
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,640
Yesterday we had a meeting.

110
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:32,880
I said, "Wait, structural went up a

111
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840
thousand. The What?" I think Shane sent

112
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,880
Did you send this one out or the

113
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,519
previous one?

114
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:39,080
>> It was the one that they had just

115
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,519
>> So, there is a thousand-dollar

116
00:03:40,519 --> 00:03:42,280
difference. They just sent right sent

117
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,000
over a rough estimate, and this is their

118
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,720
final real estimate. And so, yes, it

119
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,000
went up a thousand to 2275, which is

120
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,640
over our design contingency.

121
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,560
>> Okay, awesome. Okay, so I can be yes on

122
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,520
one but no on another. Is that okay or

123
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,280
is it just all or nothing?

124
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,280
>> We can spread it. I guess we could um

125
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,080
spread it out, but um

126
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,720
>> It's okay. I can just say no and I'm

127
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,480
sure the votes will carry, but uh but I

128
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,800
just think it's too much. That's all I'm

129
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,240
saying. I mean just if we could try to

130
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,120
be cautious since we're working with

131
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,040
them with any other future

132
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,840
modifications or realizing that we're

133
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,040
kind of locked.

134
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,480
>> That's

135
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,359
>> I I would really hope because it sounds

136
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:18,480
like they can charge a lot of money and

137
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,480
>> That was my concern.

138
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,120
>> I know I mean this is So Mayor, that was

139
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,240
a valid concern and I'm sorry for uh

140
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,240
this

141
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,960
and I hope we don't have anything else

142
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,680
like it.

143
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,840
>> And and we do have a contract with the

144
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,280
architect. Uh it would have been passed

145
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:33,840
last year

146
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,960
um and it outlined, you know, if there

147
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,520
are any changes, this is how it's

148
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,240
handled. So they're following the

149
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,440
contract. This is just the the cost.

150
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,240
>> Right, it just sucks. Okay, thank you. I

151
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:44,720
appreciate it.

152
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,760
>> Okay, so we have um

153
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,880
Brent, do you have any questions

154
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,000
regarding the items?

155
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,200
>> No.

156
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,230
>> Jessica?

157
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,480
» No questions.

158
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,800
>> Chrissy?

159
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,680
>> No questions.

160
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,800
>> Okay, if not, I will um entertain a

161
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,750

>> It's been moved by Councilwoman
