[1:59] Mhm.

[2:13] » Recording in progress. >> Like the we're welcome everybody to the

[2:17] rescheduled Public Works Committee meeting for Tuesday, June 9th, 2026. Can

[2:31] » Here. >> Alderman Lackmiller.

[2:33] » Here. >> Move on to approval of the agenda. Is it

[2:40] Approved by acclamation. Moving on to citizen comment.

[2:44] Anybody in the audience wish to speak for 3 minutes? Anyone online, Octavia?

[2:49] » None online. >> On to reports of committee chairs.

[2:54] All I have is I'd just like to thank committee members and staff for

[2:58] uh allowing me to reschedule meeting from Thursday to Tuesday.

[3:02] Thank you very much. Alderwoman Tyus?

[3:05] » No report. >> Alderwoman Meyer? Or Alderman Meyer?

[3:09] » No report. >> Move on to department and commission

[3:13] reports. Uh let's start with Public Works, Dan.

[3:27] » Uh here's our miscellaneous projects that we have that we typically bring to

[3:31] you. So, midnight road, uh we did replace that failed modem on the

[3:35] Brentwood side. I've been checking it and everything's been working. I don't

[3:39] know if anybody's said anything to you folks as far as

[3:43] the way it works. I know I can adjust the uh timing

[3:46] between them. Right now, I believe it's set at 25 seconds. Um Um, got the

[3:50] passive buttons. Those work. It shows that they work. So, if you break the

[3:53] radar beam, it'll trigger the lights if a person breaks that beam.

[3:58] Um, the only thing I haven't checked, but I had staff check, were the lights

[4:01] on top. You know, if you cover it or it senses that there's low lighting levels

[4:06] and the button's pressed, it's supposed to aim the beam across the crosswalk.

[4:09] So, I haven't seen it for myself, but I'm told it all works.

[4:13] Uh, and then we'll just keep monitoring that. So, so far everything is working

[4:17] the way it should. Um, and I can actually track like the peaks, like how

[4:21] many crossings there are per hour. You know, usually I see because it's good

[4:25] weather or was good weather at times, like over 100 crossings in an hour. It's

[4:30] usually peaked at like 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. I guess people are walking to the park.

[4:34] That one's done. Uh, 2832 2828 Manderly, that's the uh,

[4:39] uh, retaining wall that's between those two properties. I spoke with the

[4:42] contractor, he's still looking at like stone-like materials. The resident when

[4:47] I spoke with her, they actually have stone in the backyard. It's like

[4:51] quarried stone with mortar, which is not what I'm proposing. Just because that's

[4:56] way more labor and I can't guarantee it's not going to shift in time versus

[5:01] what we'd propose is the Versa-Lok with the straps that are keyed in

[5:04] horizontally and compacted. So, it's got something to pull, you know, if it tries

[5:08] to pull its way over overturn, it's creating friction and tension with those

[5:12] straps and it should be fine. So,

[5:16] I don't think that's going to change. I think it's going to be some sort of

[5:19] machine block with straps. It's going to have to be just because it's more

[5:23] stable. Um, so I should be able to figure that

[5:26] one out here shortly. Uh, Manchester Road, again, it's that

[5:30] cabinet that's causing the biggest delay. That's over

[5:33] on the north side, just east of Dorothy. It's a stainless steel cabinet that was

[5:37] damaged. A new one's being rebuilt. It should

[5:40] show up any day now here in June. And once we have that, then the

[5:43] contractor will connect it and then it'll restore, I believe it's like six

[5:47] lights that they'll uh, restore service to.

[5:51] The four lights that weren't working over by what used to be Circle K, those

[5:54] are working. So, that's got new conduit and wiring. Those are done. And there's

[5:58] two more damaged lights. One was near the former

[6:03] Well, actually not former, it's the self-storage building, and then the

[6:05] other's near the Rock Church. Those are here in St. Louis. It's just a matter of

[6:10] the electrician going out and putting them on the pedestal and getting those

[6:14] working. So, at least we have the material, and I'm hopeful that those

[6:17] will be done in June as well. Uh Hampton Creek, the MSD sewer relief

[6:22] project, I did get an update from MSD. They're actually pushing it back. Before

[6:27] it was August-September of '26, now they're saying that I should reach out

[6:32] to them at the end of '26, it's looking like early '27.

[6:35] So, I guess that's good news. It's no disruption for us for several more

[6:40] months. Uh the Webster Groves trunk sanitary

[6:43] relief phase two, I know Bates is the contractor that's supposed to be doing

[6:47] the work. I don't know a start date. I had reached out to MSD on that. I did

[6:51] not hear back when that start date is, but I know that one they actually have a

[6:55] contractor ready to do the work. There's not that much in

[6:59] Brentwood, but I know that it affects the Arboretum area, like south of the

[7:03] Metro garage. Uh the temporary parking lot on the

[7:06] north side of Manchester Road, we did grade portions, you know, north and

[7:11] south um inlets on that property on the east

[7:16] side. We do need to go back out there hopefully tomorrow, you know, it's dried

[7:20] out enough, but grade back another 8 to 10 ft, remove that gravel, then that'll

[7:25] be green space, and then it'll be sodded. Um you know, work the slope

[7:29] there. And then we've got a trial area picked out. We're going to apply the

[7:33] spray for the dust control. I think that's probably the better of the two

[7:38] when I really looked at the safety data sheets. The granular one, when you

[7:43] spread it like fertilizer pellets, then you wet it, but then you have to

[7:46] mechanically work it back and forth with a rake and it forms like a gel and then

[7:51] you're not supposed to drive on it for like 12 hours. versus the spray, you

[7:55] dilute it, mix up your concentration, spray it.

[7:59] It dries out and if it's as hot as it is now, I mean, 90° weather or so,

[8:04] I would think it'd dry in an hour or so and

[8:07] it should hold it. You know, they've got some YouTube videos I'll probably post

[8:10] those next time, but um it shows them driving on a gravel road after they put

[8:15] the liquid glue down and it holds the rock from creating dust clouds.

[8:21] So, that we're going to try out. Um 8837 White, we're actually done with

[8:26] that project. So, we removed the um sidewalk that was low and that little

[8:30] bit of driveway there, raised that up a good 6 to 7 in

[8:35] at the low point. And I've been out there a couple times after it's rained

[8:38] and I do not see water of any significance. There's a little bit that

[8:42] puddles, but nothing like it was, you know, several inches. This under a heavy

[8:46] rain event, there's very little like you would expect and it goes away.

[8:51] So, I know we've spoken with the property owner, he's pleased with it and

[8:54] he said if he saw anything, you know, out of the ordinary, he would send us

[8:57] information on it. So, I would think no news is good news in

[9:01] that instance. And then we just threw in some pictures of it, you know,

[9:05] uh before or actually a during and then an after. We have a before, but I just

[9:09] thought it was kind of neat seeing how much it had changed.

[9:13] And I don't know if you have any questions on these or anything else

[9:17] public works. >> Hensley.

[9:23] Thank you, sorry, but um thank you on McKnight. I have not noticed it flashing

[9:26] randomly uh at times and have not heard complaints about it, which probably

[9:29] means it's working. Uh and then on the 8837 White, I have not spoken to the

[9:34] actual homeowner there, but to the home just to the west where a lot of the

[9:37] sidewalk in front of their home was done. They are very pleased. It does

[9:40] pool a little in the street but not on the sidewalk.

[9:44] Uh and so I it's a a great um project. So, thanks to your team for doing that.

[9:48] » Okay. Thanks. And um last week we had a tree fall on

[9:53] uh Salem >> Mhm.

[9:55] » and it took out the wiring that uh you've been you worked over many months

[9:59] to get Amarin there put up for the street lighting.

[10:03] Um do we need to report that or do you think they already know?

[10:06] » I'll go ahead and report it. I know they were out there. They took care of the

[10:10] wiring but took care of it meaning they just cut it so that Davey could remove

[10:14] or at least cut up a portion of the tree that was blocking the road.

[10:17] » Yeah. Cuz it's a line that feeds those three

[10:19] lights and so now they're >> Yeah, cuz I believe they're in series

[10:22] like connected at the north end and they work their way south. So, if you break

[10:25] that chain >> A link.

[10:27] » that one won't work.

[10:30] » Thanks. >> Okay. Yeah, I I know the light number

[10:33] cuz I've reported it multiple times. So, I'll just report it back to them and see

[10:36] what they say. >> Thank you.

[10:38] » Okay. Thanks. >> And

[10:41] move on to reports from planning and development

[10:45] department. Whitney.

[10:55] » Good evening. Um for the month of May, there were 55 new code enforcement cases

[11:01] and 136 inspections. Building permits received were 210

[11:07] new permits and there were 978 inspections.

[11:12] Um the planning and zoning commission is scheduled for tomorrow night, Wednesday,

[11:17] um to review continue reviewing the town home development at 8815 Match.

[11:23] Um if they make a recommendation that

[11:26] night, which I am anticipating, then it would be at the July 20th meeting

[11:32] um at the Board of Aldermen. Business license renewals today at the

[11:37] end of May, there were 589 active licenses and

[11:42] two were issued that week and 24 waiting payments

[11:46] with 19 renewing and there has been

[11:50] approximately 59 expired business license that we are continuing to follow

[11:55] up with. Contractor registrations are also due at

[11:59] » I have a question. Could you explain what you mean by following up so that

[12:03] the committee >> Well, we're having the inspectors go out

[12:05] to verify that businesses are still open.

[12:08] We have called, we had sent out postcards, we've

[12:13] emails. So, the next step is we're going around to check if I there check make

[12:18] sure they're still open and those that are will follow up with zoning violation

[12:23] letters. Oh.

[12:25] Contractor registrations,

[12:28] there were 100 1,684 contractor credentials issued by the end

[12:35] of May with two issued that last week 15 issued

[12:40] that last week and two in the renewal process and two waiting payments.

[12:45] Staff attended the Ladue Quarry project presentation at the Zoning and Planning

[12:52] Commission. They call it commission at the Ladue

[12:55] City Hall last Wednesday

[13:00] or not last Wednesday

[13:04] Okay, last Wednesday. Um at 4:00 p.m. to discuss where they just

[13:10] presented the topic and it's continuing. We asked that staff be

[13:14] invited to any further meetings. The project includes 11 single-family homes

[13:20] at the southwest corner of the property as as from Old Warson Road

[13:26] 31 single-family homes on the north of Deer Creek, and a mixed-use building

[13:31] with up to 235 apartments and 9,000 square feet of commercial space.

[13:36] Um this is the property surrounding Rock

[13:39] Hill Quarry's landfill at McKnight and Old Warson Road.

[13:45] The architectural review board is scheduled for June 18th to review two

[13:49] projects. We have the return of 2002 South Brentwood Boulevard

[13:54] for the modification to the exterior building materials.

[13:58] And 70 York Drive, they're doing a 965 square foot room addition that is

[14:04] visible from Middlesex Drive and York Drive.

[14:08] Um we did issue the RFP for the nuisance abatement um in May 21st, and so the

[14:14] responses are due on the 15th. So we'll bring that back to you

[14:19] as well. We have received two applications for

[14:22] the July um

[14:25] planning and zoning commission so far. The June um Board of Adjustment was

[14:30] canceled due to incomplete applications and a lack of quorum. So they are one I

[14:36] know is working towards revising their application for the July

[14:41] 25th meeting. Or 23rd, I think.

[14:46] So we will

[14:48] let you know when that's completed and notices will be sent out for those.

[14:54] » It is Any questions for Whitney?

[14:57] All right, thank you, Whitney.

[15:01] Move on to Parks and Recreation, Eric.

[15:11] » Uh good evening. Just a couple things uh tonight. The first is uh

[15:15] that staff that with the business manager of the Movement Center uh in

[15:19] Hanley Industrial Court. Uh they had they have a need to have

[15:23] maybe utilize some parking. They their parking lot's not big enough for their

[15:27] staff. So, they're wondering if they could

[15:30] have up to five parking spaces in the Hanley Park parking lot. Uh it's

[15:36] interesting time for this mainly because we're going to be going into

[15:39] construction of that parking lot and the and the the pavilion here and hopefully

[15:45] by the end of the year and then we can maybe work out a parking arrangement

[15:49] with them so that our users can use their parking lot during construction.

[15:53] And then once construction's over, we can kind of revisit if we feel like it's

[15:56] still needed. Uh so, if the committee is open to it,

[16:01] what I would do is I'd start working on a MOU

[16:05] and would bring it back to this committee for review and discussion.

[16:11] » Um I guess a show of our

[16:14] I guess voice. All in favor of letting Eric explore the MOU, say I.

[16:20] » I. >> I.

[16:21] » Great. Thank you. Uh the other thing is

[16:26] I don't know if you know our marketing person Sophie. She came

[16:29] bounding in my office one day all excited cuz she saw something about Bird

[16:32] City, Missouri and she really she's the one who's taking all our photos for

[16:37] social media. If you notice, she loves birds.

[16:40] And so, she really thinks this is a wonderful opportunity for the city.

[16:45] As we mentioned, it's part of the Bird City network. It's really a program that

[16:49] really wants cities to kind of improve habitats

[16:53] sustainable promote sustainability and conservation things like that. In

[16:57] looking at the application, we've already done most of that

[17:01] primarily the park and park and other things we're doing throughout the city

[17:05] even going back a couple years when we changed the light levels reduced the

[17:10] Kelvins on the light levels things like that have already put us in position

[17:13] where we're probably uh get this very easily. It's a free program.

[17:18] Uh it's something that we think would be kind of a nice feather in the cap of the

[17:22] city. Uh pardon the pun. And uh right now

[17:26] there's only one bird sanctuary in city St. Louis. So, uh we'd like to

[17:31] we're moving forward to try to do that. And then and uh we'll uh be excited when

[17:35] we can get that moving. So. Next is the Brentwood Days theme. Uh we

[17:40] could talk to last month or the month before about possible themes for for

[17:44] Brentwood Days and and also talking about what we could do for uh America's

[17:48] 250th uh celebration. And we talked about it in our Brentwood Days committee

[17:52] and we really thought doing something for America 250 in September uh would be

[17:57] a little bit late spending most of this stuff is happening in June and July. So,

[18:02] uh it was our recommendation not to do that. And in in talking with staff and

[18:06] the committee uh that we talked about the possibility of the fact that it is

[18:11] the 100th the centennial of Route 66. And Route 66 went through the city of

[18:15] Brentwood uh in 1926 when it first opened uh until it re-routed in 1932 and

[18:21] and bypassed Brentwood. But, uh interestingly enough, the only surviving

[18:26] landmark from that period is Carl's Drive-In. And so, we thought it'd be

[18:29] kind of fun to kind of re-route the parade this year, go right by Carl's

[18:32] Drive-In, get them to kind of be a part of the this parade aspect of it. And

[18:37] we're getting kind of excited about that. So, uh it'd be our recommendation

[18:40] to move forward with this Route 66 uh theme for this year's Brentwood Days.

[18:46] » Yes or no from us? >> Yeah, as long as you guys are okay with

[18:48] it. >> We're all in favor of Eric's

[18:52] proposal. >> Great.

[18:54] » Sounds creative. Thank you. >> Very good.

[18:56] » Well, that came from uh Jesse, our he's my historian in in my department. He's

[19:00] like, you know, it's the centennial. And And he's the one who actually did the

[19:03] research on on Carl's. So, uh last is Urban Chestnut. Uh this is

[19:07] something again I'm very excited about. Um

[19:11] and something we've talked about in the past of trying to see if there's a a

[19:14] partnership we could have in the in this in the park. One to activate the park,

[19:19] two to maybe help bring in more people, and three

[19:22] uh something that might be mutually beneficial for both uh the vendor and

[19:26] the city. And so uh after the Wine Whiskey Walk, Urban Chestnut actually

[19:31] contacted us to say, "Hey, we're really interested in doing something with the

[19:35] city of Brentwood, and especially in Brentwood Park." And we talked briefly

[19:38] about the RFP and and how we put that out, and they're not quite to that part,

[19:43] but they want to kind of look at maybe a proof of concept. And so they have kind

[19:47] of a mobile they call a beer garden. It's basically a mobile tap, uh four or

[19:51] five taps on it. And and they thought about the idea of maybe kind of doing

[19:55] that proof of concept uh in the summer this time uh this year. And so we're we

[20:00] talked Tuesday, Monday.

[20:02] Today's Tuesday, Monday. Uh and they're looking maybe to do Wednesdays in July.

[20:07] It is we looked at Placer, it is one of our lowest times for for people, and

[20:12] they thought that'd be interesting case study see, "Hey, we know what the what

[20:16] the uh attendance is on a Wednesday. Let's see if it builds up for you guys

[20:20] based on this." Uh and we talked about a lot of things

[20:23] and and how this could lead to hopefully maybe that larger partnership that we

[20:26] talked about in the RFP. Uh but first for this year, we talked about what what

[20:30] would look like, and it would be they they agreed to uh pay that $100 fee

[20:36] that's outlined in our food truck policy. So they basically rent a truck

[20:39] food truck space for the night. Uh and in addition, they they what

[20:43] they'd have is a program where they kind of introduce a beer draft or a tap

[20:49] handle. So they actually take one of their current beers, and they basically

[20:52] call it the Brentwood Park beer. And they're willing to donate 10% of the

[20:56] proceeds of every beer poured in Brentwood Park to the Brentwood Park um

[21:00] parks maintenance and liquidity fund. And so we see that as a benefit as well

[21:05] that we can build up that fund that we're already building, but it's a way

[21:08] to build that up even more. So, uh this is something we're real excited

[21:12] about to see what this would be. Uh they talked about that for that the month

[21:17] they they want to go into August, too, but we're going to start with July. We

[21:19] need to talk about it tonight to make sure it's on the board agenda for their

[21:22] special use permit. Uh but they're talking about maybe one night they just

[21:25] come out and and see what happens. Another night they might do bingo or

[21:29] they might do trivia. And then we talked about maybe one night we do something

[21:33] that also gets the kids involved. So, face painter, balloon artist, something

[21:36] like that, something small that we can add to it. And so,

[21:39] a way again, it's another way to kind of activate the park. It's a way to kind of

[21:43] see if this partnership, uh this type of arrangement would be something that

[21:47] would be beneficial for the city. And uh so, we'd like to move forward

[21:51] with that. And with your guys's approval, we'll then

[21:54] bring the special use permit to the board meeting on Monday.

[22:01] » Great. No, I think it's great. Really fun. Now, if maybe we have our public

[22:04] works meeting July on a Wednesday and head over to the

[22:09] head over to the park afterwards. >> Yeah, short agenda, I'm sure.

[22:15] Well, I think you we're all in favor of it, Eric. So, uh I

[22:19] just have one question. Who promotes it? Do they or

[22:22] » So, they they will will kind of will co-promote. Uh they'll put some stuff on

[22:26] their social media. We'll we'll share it. Vice versa, we'll put some stuff on

[22:30] our social media, they'll share it. They have 147,000

[22:34] members on their social media. So, they they have a broad reach already. And so,

[22:39] we have I think we have close to 40 now. So,

[22:42] we'll kind of hopefully piggyback on each other and and be able to kind of

[22:46] promote these things.

[22:52] » We're moving to sustainability. >> No report this month. Uh sustainability

[22:55] meeting was canceled cuz of Memorial Day. We'll be picking back up again in

[22:58] June.

[23:01] » Under consent agenda, once again, could we approve the consent agenda by

[23:05] acclamation? Okay, it will be approved by

[23:08] acclamation. Moving on to old business, we have

[23:13] sustainability dashboard. This is you again, Eric?

[23:17] » It is. Uh we've talked about this a few months

[23:20] now, and so I you know, I don't think I have a whole lot more to add. Um I

[23:24] apologize that we how it kind of was late getting into the

[23:29] packet last month. So, uh nothing more to add than what we had

[23:32] last month beyond the fact that it's still something sustainability

[23:34] commission is very interested in and think it is uh

[23:39] would be beneficial for the city and a good use of the sustainability funds

[23:43] that are budgeted each year for the committee.

[23:47] » Um I just have a quick question. I So, how would this be launched? What

[23:52] would it look like if somebody went to our website?

[23:54] » So, we would basically have a um link on our sustainability page that

[23:59] would take you to the dashboard page. And with that, we can have everything in

[24:03] there. Uh in talking with them, there is a way

[24:06] to kind of create look a lot like our um

[24:10] if you think about the Brentwood bound page on the city's website, how you kind

[24:13] of clicked on the Brentwood bound page and it took you to something else that

[24:16] looked very much like our website. It'd be very

[24:19] much like that. Almost like parks and recreation have the same thing. So, it'd

[24:22] be kind of a main link that takes you there.

[24:26] » They work specifically with someone park staff to get

[24:29] » They'd be uh primarily working with uh Michelle and myself. Michelle because

[24:33] she has all the uh all the social media and and does all

[24:38] the website work. And obviously, she and I are the liaisons for sustainability,

[24:43] so we partner on a lot of that stuff. >> I went to Columbia's and

[24:47] it was kind of confusing because if you

[24:50] went under government sustainability, you got one page, and then you went

[24:53] under uh I think residents and sustainability, you got it something

[24:57] completely different. >> And And tell you exactly why Columbia

[25:02] did that, but they basically KLA has told us that it we can make it

[25:07] mirror what our website looks like, and so it almost be kind of the fact that

[25:11] wherever where you go, it would take you to that main page. They they talked

[25:15] about if depending on how much we want to put on to the dashboard is that you

[25:19] can almost put all of your sustainability items with on the website

[25:22] that we currently have on that dashboard page, so everything

[25:25] for sustainability kind of lives right there. So, you don't have to go to any

[25:29] other places. >> And I know the Sustainability Commission

[25:32] has $20,000 to work with. So, in the first year it looks like it comes out of

[25:36] there, and then it becomes a uh comes out of the budget of IT.

[25:41] » It In something like that, we would normally place it in the IT budget, yes.

[25:45] Um and so, we'd obviously be working with IT for that. Um if it's uh

[25:51] So, yes, that's where it would come >> Why would it not continue to come out of

[25:54] the 20? >> Yeah, we can.

[25:57] » If it's being allocated, it should come out of the 20.

[25:59] » Sure. That's That's fine. I just with the IT aspect of it, uh it's my mistake.

[26:04] I apologize.

[26:07] » Well, with my ways and means hat on, I would

[26:10] say let's leave it with sustainability because that's why I every year we get

[26:14] to the IT stuff, and I'm like, "There's all this stuff that everyone says we

[26:17] need, but what is it?" So, >> I would I really support this, but I

[26:22] think we ought to keep the the funds tied to sustainability so that we know

[26:27] where >> That makes a lot of sense.

[26:28] » comes from and where it's going. Um so, that's my two cents. But, um I'll make a

[26:32] motion to um approve uh hiring KLA uh to create a sustainability

[26:39] dashboard um for the city of Brentwood.

[26:43] » I second it. >> Paula?

[26:48] » Paula, I have a question on this. Um does this need to go to the board since

[26:53] it's money and a contract or

[26:57] can we just direct Eric to do this like >> I think we can There are two ways to do

[27:03] it. Um We could report it under city

[27:07] administrator report or we could put it as a consent item. Either one works.

[27:12] » But it does need to go to the board. >> I I would

[27:17] Does there prefer I mean under >> Consent.

[27:20] » Under the consent agenda on the next Board of Aldermen meeting and we put all

[27:23] of our other contracts. >> Okay. So go to the July meeting.

[27:26] » Okay. >> Probably won't be ready for the June

[27:28] meeting. >> Any other questions before we vote?

[27:32] All in favor say I. >> I.

[27:34] » I. >> Anyone opposed?

[27:36] All right, Eric. Much. >> So that I'm clear, that was seconded by

[27:40] Meyer. >> Yes.

[27:41] » Okay. >> Uh looks like we got Dan, we got Douglas

[27:47] Court and Mary Court solar lighting.

[27:58] » Yeah, this is a carryover from before I was

[28:02] researching the different types of lights and stuff. Um the ones that we

[28:06] have right now First Light Technologies was the one that did like Lavern Court.

[28:10] So that's more of a rectangular box shape that's mounted to a squarish post.

[28:16] Uh the ones in York Village were Fond Roche lighting. Those are no longer

[28:19] made. I did confirm that. So they have a a collector on the post. So it collects

[28:26] vertically instead of on the top. The ones I had originally submitted with the

[28:29] two saw uh last time and this time around has a squarish collector on top.

[28:35] It's more of a modern look. I did actually find one. I'll have to

[28:40] put together a table just so that I can keep these all straight, but I do have a

[28:45] post top. I didn't include it in here since I just found it in the last day or

[28:49] so. Um

[28:51] these I can either get them like a smoked

[28:54] um finish, so it kind of diffuses the light, or you can do clear panels, or

[28:59] you can do a combination of one side with diffused and the other clear.

[29:03] Uh if you're worried about light scattering around, these do actually

[29:06] meet the criteria that we require for lights, so I can get them in 2700K for

[29:11] the color temperature. You can do 3000, you can do 4000, but definitely 2700.

[29:17] What I don't know, which I couldn't figure out from just doing the research,

[29:20] was the post looks like it's only a 3-in steel post, so it's fairly slender. Um

[29:26] it doesn't require a whole lot of post to support the weight of the post top.

[29:30] The post top's only 9 kilos, which is roughly 20 lb. Um

[29:35] but they are painted. You can get them in black, you can get them in bronze

[29:38] finish. I just thought these look more like what you were looking for. And if

[29:43] the post is only a 3-in and it grabs on there, then I can cut that in about the

[29:48] length of what we would usually supply, which is probably 10 or 12 ft. Um so

[29:53] I'll reach out to the sales people to see how much these are and I can put it

[29:56] together and either bring it back or put in a weekly report or both, but I did

[30:01] find something that has hope that it would kind of match what we were talking

[30:06] about at the last meeting. I don't know why they discontinued it,

[30:09] but Finero said they don't do that anymore. They do the modern one and I

[30:13] said, "Well, that's not what I need. I need something more like this." This is

[30:17] a different company, so I mean we might just buy one to try it out and if it

[30:22] works, great. We could continue forward and put the other one in or

[30:26] you know, if they don't work out, we could put them somewhere on city

[30:29] property. I'm sure that they would do just fine, you know, by a building. What

[30:34] I don't know is like the lumens in that is great, but what I don't know is what

[30:37] you really see when you're looking at it from the street. How well does it light?

[30:42] It does have profiles like the other lights, so it'll show if it's more

[30:45] circular, if it's more oblong. So, I know you can pick different lighting

[30:48] patterns depending on what the street's like.

[30:51] So. >> I would probably since all the women go

[30:54] to see in here and it's her ward like to continue this at our next meeting with

[31:00] the information you just found. I think I really appreciate the deep dive you've

[31:04] taken in trying to find one of these things.

[31:06] » It's weird like everybody is a more modern. One of them looked like a golf

[31:09] putter, so it was like turned over and the light was underneath. I'm like

[31:12] that's I don't think that's going to work. But it was black. It was like

[31:16] similar to this, but the top's completely different.

[31:19] » Yeah, let's carry it over for the next meeting and uh

[31:23] put that information together and we'll do it in July.

[31:25] » Okay. All right, we'll bring it back.

[31:27] » Thanks, Dan. >> Yep.

[31:28] » Move on to new business. Uh looks like we've got

[31:32] an RFQ for professional design. Is that you, Eric, or Dan?

[31:37] » Uh we did it together, so I did most of it, but it was a team effort, so we

[31:43] received 11 proposals as it states here in the memo.

[31:46] Um on May 14th uh we had four people scoring them

[31:51] including myself and Eric and two others. Uh we reduced that group of 11

[31:56] down to three and we brought those three in, which would be H Design Group, Arch

[32:00] Images, and KAI ADiNi for interviews. Uh we did the interviews on May 27th, so

[32:05] just recently, and of those three we narrowed it down to two. Of the two, it

[32:11] would uh H Design Group and KAI ADiNi. And we did a comparison table uh between

[32:17] the two of these to see how they fared. So, that's in the memo. Um

[32:22] what it boiled down to was H Design provided more complete examples of what

[32:27] they did recently and in um the past as far as uh

[32:32] public works facilities. They did have complete references including the uh

[32:36] costs. For some reason, the Kiadini, if you look at it, um I know it was

[32:41] attached, but the Kiadini one was missing the construction cost for two

[32:45] projects. They listed six, but of the six, four of them there's no references.

[32:50] I did track down Berkeley. Uh that was provided, and they gave good

[32:55] recommendation for Kiadini, so that was good. Um I did talk to Kirkwood, even

[33:00] though it was left blank. I knew the person over there.

[33:03] They said that the study they did with Kiadini, they liked, but then when they

[33:07] pushed forward into design and construction, they actually switched

[33:12] horses and went with Arch Images. So, the Kirkwood facility will be completed

[33:17] sometime here in 2026, but it's with a different firm.

[33:20] Um Kiadini, you know, had really good

[33:22] qualifications. They did the report for us, if you recall, uh through Navigate.

[33:28] They are based in Brentwood. They have Horner & Shifrin as their new additional

[33:32] partner on their design team. But when we came down to the key

[33:37] rationale that I listed here, you know, H Design had more relevant and recent

[33:41] public works experience, stronger more complete references. Uh they do have

[33:46] really good feedback from their municipal clients. That I did check.

[33:50] And just a more detailed explanation on their program, their planning.

[33:55] Uh they would do design charrettes for a two or three-day process to really drill

[33:59] down and figure out how equipment fits in the building, future growth, things

[34:03] of that nature. So, you know, the recommendation that we had

[34:06] as a group was that H Design would be selected for professional design

[34:10] services for the maintenance facility. Um

[34:15] I don't know if there's any questions.

[34:20] » Need a recommendation to forward on to the full board, uh selecting H Design

[34:24] Group for the professional design services

[34:30] » I'll make that motion. >> I'll second the motion.

[34:34] » Uh all in favor say I.

[34:38] Anyone opposed? Dan.

[34:41] » Okay. >> Move on to Let's Sing Her Paving and

[34:44] Striping. >> I think Alderwoman Tyson asked this this

[34:48] in the past about you know, the the striping is faded. I will agree with

[34:52] that. Uh it was done probably in 2016 when the STP project was done on the

[34:58] north side like the entire length. Um we've done a few spot areas. Typically,

[35:03] we just do the crosswalks and the stop bars, but the longitudinal lines, you

[35:08] know, the ones that run parallel, the center line, and the outer shoulder

[35:11] ones, we don't have equipment that can do that great a distance. We did reach

[35:15] out to McConnell since we use them and they are part of a consortium. So, they

[35:20] gave us a price broken down by the three different jurisdictions. So, most of it

[35:26] is under Brentwood. As you go closer to Brentwood Boulevard,

[35:30] it switches over to county ownership like the turn arrows and stuff like

[35:33] that. And then we've got Rock Hill where you get to Bremerton and from Bremerton

[35:38] to McKnight, the southern portion is theirs and northern half is ours. So,

[35:42] that's the convoluted part there. Um our total would be $5,450

[35:49] and that would take it from McKnight all the way to Brentwood Boulevard, just our

[35:54] portion. The county we reached out to them, they said that they would just do

[35:57] it themselves. So, in a few weeks they'll paint there in by Brentwood

[36:01] Boulevard, so that'll be brightened up. Rock Hill, we reached out to them, we

[36:04] have not heard back from them. What I'd like if they agreed to was, you

[36:08] know, we could do it and they would just reimburse the $2,010.

[36:13] If they don't agree, then I guess we just do our portion. It'll look a little

[36:19] I don't know what the proper terminology would be, but it won't look fantastic as

[36:23] you go Brentwood to McKnight because we would only do one yellow bar the whole

[36:29] distance. There's on the other half would be the faded one and then their

[36:33] white shoulder would be whatever it is. So it'll, you know, there could be

[36:37] complaints because well, why did you not do the whole thing?

[36:41] I would prefer that they just piggyback on to our contract and just do it, but

[36:45] if they don't, I don't think we want to spend our money to do their piece.

[36:50] Um, my recommendation be we definitely do ours if they agree to do theirs with

[36:54] ours, there could be cost savings. Otherwise, they just going to have to do

[36:58] it themselves.

[37:02] » Um, this has been a repeated um um

[37:06] complaint, well, complaint is a strong word from this particular resident, but

[37:09] it's she's brought it up to me for several years now, so

[37:12] uh and and as soon as she said it, I started looking. I'm like, oh, this

[37:15] really looks terrible. You can barely see the yellow line. It is so um I do

[37:19] think we should move forward and hopefully we can convince Rock Hill to

[37:22] participate as well. >> Um

[37:27] I don't see I can you uh road requirements, can you do just

[37:32] one yellow line when it needs to be a double? I mean

[37:35] » I was going to say the paint folks can do do one cuz that's what we did with

[37:39] McKnight when it was resurfaced. They were able to save the side that was

[37:42] LaDue's of the double yellow and they left that and they did a

[37:46] perfect seam and then, you know, wait a week or so for it to dry, then they did

[37:51] the bright yellow. They I know LaDue actually we partnered together. So

[37:55] whenever that road gets striped, they tell me typically what it costs

[38:00] and we just reimburse them. It's just a simple agreement.

[38:04] Now, I'm hoping this is the same. It's like if you wanted to, you know, you

[38:07] could do just the yellow. Maybe that's half that, maybe it's a thousand, but I

[38:10] don't really want to spend a thousand dollars of Brentwood money to do

[38:14] somebody else's.

[38:19] » Yeah. >> All done at one time, right?

[38:23] » Yeah, cuz your other option would be is you could truncate it at Bremerton, just

[38:27] do within our city limits, and then both of them, and then going from Bremerton

[38:31] west, nothing would be done for the double yellow to make it consistent.

[38:38] » Um is it a priority that it be done this fiscal year?

[38:42] Cuz we're we're dealing with the city that probably

[38:47] may not have the means to all of a sudden this ranks as priority

[38:52] unless there's public safety, a compelling public safety

[38:57] reason that that makes them rethink it and make it a priority. So,

[39:03] I think it's good to ask City of Rock Hill to see if they could

[39:07] participate on what the cost would be. And that pop- possibly Dan would oversee

[39:12] it so that all they need to do is contribute. But if they could wait till

[39:17] Give them more than one option for your consideration.

[39:20] » Well, and then I I guess you um I think you sort of said like

[39:23] maybe just ask if you could just see from the contractor if it would be about

[39:29] half that to just do the yellow line cuz maybe the white line on the Rock Hill

[39:32] side, that's less important to do, but to have

[39:36] uh half a yellow line from Bremerton to McKnight just

[39:41] doesn't seem to make sense, but maybe they maybe if it is only a thousand

[39:44] dollars, then that might be uh more agreeable to Rock Hill either this

[39:48] fiscal year or next. >> Yeah, I'll ask him. I'll have him

[39:51] subdivide that. It's like what's the white, what's the yellow for just that

[39:54] segment, and then maybe it is more palatable to do just a thousand or

[39:57] whatever it is. >> And do we have time until the say the

[40:00] July meeting to >> Oh, we do. Yeah, there's no rush cuz he

[40:03] said that, you know, the weather's perfect for doing this. You know, we've

[40:06] got still several more months to get this done. And it won't take them long.

[40:10] It'll just be like, you know, the state and the county the way they paint it's

[40:13] with a truck, and it makes the paint perfectly, you know,

[40:17] the the correct width and adds their little reflectorized beads and

[40:21] » Well, um And the bid will still be good but

[40:25] 30 days? >> We'll call and see if it needs to be

[40:27] refreshed, but I can't see it varying a huge amount, you know, it's through a

[40:31] consortium. So, I mean, the price is >> But I think like Nancy said, given Rock

[40:34] Hill the option of >> Mhm.

[40:36] » this level or this level maybe they'll go lower level and we can just get it

[40:41] done. Cuz you would just we would do the

[40:44] county's portion too and they're pretty open to just paying bills when they get

[40:47] them. >> The county's just going to do theirs at

[40:49] their cost if the 660 goes away that was in the breakdown.

[40:53] Uh they have their own crews. They have they just said we'll just take care of

[40:57] it. Like just don't worry about ours, just do yours. So, that made it easy.

[41:02] So, really it's just coordination with Rock Hill, you know, if they can do a

[41:06] portion, great. If they say no, then we need to figure out where to create a

[41:10] » They'll do that and maybe take it up in July.

[41:12] » Okay. >> then.

[41:14] » Will do. >> All right, that's it for new business.

[41:19] We'll move into citizen comment. There's nobody here. Anybody online?

[41:25] All right, without any other business, we'll

[41:28] adjourn. Thank you, guys.

[41:30] » Thank you.
