[1:43] questions starting from Councilwoman
[1:45] Blackwell?
[1:47] >> No.
[1:48] >> I just on the um
[1:50] item well uh
[1:52] I don't know what the number is on
[1:53] letter A.
[1:55] Are we going to
[1:56] get that or I'm sorry if you're
[1:58] >> It's in the packet.
[1:59] Okay, good.
[2:00] Do you mind if I look at that? Thank
[2:03] you.
[2:04] >> [clears throat]
[2:06] >> So, no changes, right? And then
[2:08] >> So, this is the tax rate, the certified
[2:11] tax rate. So, it keeps everything the
[2:13] same. We do get money for new growth,
[2:15] which in this case was
[2:19] Uh
[2:19] >> 38,500
[2:21] >> at 45,000 and got a little less than
[2:23] that.
[2:23] >> I'm finally understanding it. So, thank
[2:25] you. And then on the second, uh letter
[2:26] B, uh
[2:28] that's 22K.
[2:30] And pardon if this is in the packet. Um
[2:33] Is
[2:33] >> It was.
[2:34] >> Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
[2:36] >> Um
[2:37] >> I won't take long. The uh
[2:39] This is
[2:40] I was trying to under- I actually did
[2:41] read this. I was trying to understand
[2:43] This is just for the change
[2:46] uh that we
[2:48] asked for to show brick or not Not for
[2:51] anything else. This is just for them to
[2:53] do more designs.
[2:54] >> This is the to update the plans and the
[2:57] structural for the exterior changes that
[2:59] were approved last Tuesday night.
[3:01] >> But this is just for their time of like
[3:04] changing it to look like brick or
[3:05] whatever or not.
[3:06] >> Right. That's not for the material
[3:07] changes. We haven't had We don't have
[3:09] the price tag on that yet. But we're
[3:11] hoping the price difference will negate,
[3:13] but we have no idea what that will be
[3:14] until the bid comes through.
[3:16] >> So, I just I don't know. That seems like
[3:18] a lot, 22 grand for that. Um so, I'm
[3:21] kind
[3:21] >> This is what happens when you do a
[3:22] change order. They have complete control
[3:24] over the cost because they're already
[3:25] contracted.
[3:26] >> Right.
[3:27] >> Um we This is what they gave us. I did
[3:29] Yesterday we had a meeting.
[3:31] I said, "Wait, structural went up a
[3:32] thousand. The What?" I think Shane sent
[3:35] Did you send this one out or the
[3:36] previous one?
[3:37] >> It was the one that they had just
[3:39] >> So, there is a thousand-dollar
[3:40] difference. They just sent right sent
[3:42] over a rough estimate, and this is their
[3:44] final real estimate. And so, yes, it
[3:46] went up a thousand to 2275, which is
[3:49] over our design contingency.
[3:51] >> Okay, awesome. Okay, so I can be yes on
[3:53] one but no on another. Is that okay or
[3:55] is it just all or nothing?
[3:57] >> We can spread it. I guess we could um
[3:59] spread it out, but um
[4:01] >> It's okay. I can just say no and I'm
[4:02] sure the votes will carry, but uh but I
[4:04] just think it's too much. That's all I'm
[4:05] saying. I mean just if we could try to
[4:07] be cautious since we're working with
[4:09] them with any other future
[4:11] modifications or realizing that we're
[4:12] kind of locked.
[4:14] >> That's
[4:14] >> I I would really hope because it sounds
[4:16] like they can charge a lot of money and
[4:18] >> That was my concern.
[4:19] >> I know I mean this is So Mayor, that was
[4:21] a valid concern and I'm sorry for uh
[4:24] this
[4:25] and I hope we don't have anything else
[4:26] like it.
[4:27] >> And and we do have a contract with the
[4:29] architect. Uh it would have been passed
[4:32] last year
[4:33] um and it outlined, you know, if there
[4:35] are any changes, this is how it's
[4:37] handled. So they're following the
[4:39] contract. This is just the the cost.
[4:42] >> Right, it just sucks. Okay, thank you. I
[4:44] appreciate it.
[4:44] >> Okay, so we have um
[4:46] Brent, do you have any questions
[4:47] regarding the items?
[4:50] >> No.
[4:51] >> Jessica?
