Go ahead, Mr. Mayor. >> Yes, this resolution allows us to 135 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:20,080 partner with the Shelby County Commission on the bridge replacement for 136 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:24,919 Liberty Road bridge. The low bid actually came in 137 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:29,000 a little higher than what estimated. It came in at 138 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000 $1,192,876.76. 139 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:38,800 That's this resolution allows the city to 140 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:42,360 expand up to $250,000 from the city of Chelsea. 141 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,680 The Shelby County Commission will pay $600,000 towards the bridge replacement. 142 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:51,760 And Rebuild Alabama grant was received in 143 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:55,440 the amount of $350,000. So, basically this 144 00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:02,080 accounts for the additional $200,000 over what we had budgeted 145 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,080 as a city. 146 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,839 Am I missing anything? >> This 147 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:11,320 This is perfect.

They really helped us out on this. 149 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:21,120 They did a great job. This is a bridge that's needed to be replaced for a 150 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,520 while, so I'm excited about it. And 151 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,240 like I said, this is There was a grant out there. We went and 152 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:32,600 got it. The county helped us get it, and the the money that comes in was $350,000 153 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:37,200 towards the the city's contribution to this. So, we've got that money plus the 154 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,336 250,000 to do this, and then the county's paying 155 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,400 cash for their part of it. So, it's >> [snorts] 156 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:46,680 » it's a big win for both of us and a major thank you to the county 157 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,800 uh for working on that.

And then to go along 161 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:02,600 with that one is resolution 1357. Do we have a motion for this? 162 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:07,400 » Council President, I'll make a motion to approve resolution 1357. 163 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,160 » That's 57, authorizing the mayor to execute contract with Shelby County. 164 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,800 » All right. We have a motion. Do we have a second? 165 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,120 » Second. >> We have a motion and a second. Any 166 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,320 discussion? This is to 167 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:24,920 go through everything we just discussed on 1356, put it on paper, and now the 168 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,760 mayor will be able to authorize it once it's approved. 169 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:29,240 Um Go ahead. 170 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,520 » And in addition to that, just so everybody knows, uh work is scheduled to 171 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,960 begin the day after school is out for the summer, 172 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:41,240 and to be concluded before school starts back. So, it would be about a 2-month 173 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:45,520 project uh during the summer months that Bibb Mill Road will be shut down at the 174 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:49,520 at the current bridge, but it's just part of growing pains, and it'll be 175 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,520 worth it in the end. 176 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,440 » All right, Council. Any further discussion? 177 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,360 All in favor say aye. >> Aye. 178 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,240 » Aye. >> Any opposed say nay. 179 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,120 All right.

I'm joining 254 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:04,480 that Marvel thing and the challenge Mr. Arthur Fisher. 255 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,800 Um all right, so we have pretty much the same events that we've been sharing on 256 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:12,200 our Facebook and our blog. Um this weekend is the severe weather Excuse 257 00:16:10,721 --> 00:16:16,920 [clears throat] me, preparedness sales tax holiday. We've posted about that and 258 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,600 Ms. Ethridge has put uh helped us put up a 259 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:24,760 PDF of everything that you can get discounted. So, please be sure to to 260 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:29,480 participate in that. And then we have several events happening on February 261 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:33,720 21st, the Kiwanis pancake breakfast as well as our Arbor Day celebration. And 262 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,640 so, we've been publicizing that throughout the town. So, the community 263 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,120 center has been doing a great job planning those events and hosting lots 264 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:44,040 of events. The library's doing a great job and that leads me into some of our 265 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,560 smaller uh things around the city that the city 266 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:51,240 handles like the museum and our splash pad and those types of things. We're 267 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:54,160 trying to incorporate the events that we're doing along with those facilities 268 00:16:53,296 --> 00:16:58,520 [clears throat] so that we can get the word out there and get some more 269 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,760 participation. So, the 30th anniversary celebration that I talked about last 270 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,920 week, we're actually going to have a reception. It's open to the public and 271 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:10,640 everyone attending and we're going to meet at 2:15 at the historical museum. 272 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:15,640 And we have some amazing ladies, Marie Alverson who's 92 and her sisters will 273 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:19,160 be there. They will be giving tours and we have some local students. We have one 274 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:23,360 in particular who wants to be an archivist and go to college for that. 275 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:27,319 So, she's going to be there as well. So, we really want people to enjoy the 276 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:31,080 history museum and then come over and learn about what's going to go in the 277 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:35,160 time capsule to celebrate our 30th, and then hopefully on the 50th, when it gets 278 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:40,000 opened, they'll just love everything we've prepared. Um we have uh several 279 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:43,600 things in April. So, we're posting about those. We're working with the community. 280 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:48,040 If the community has events, please let us know. Um some local churches are 281 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:51,840 doing the Easter Extravaganza on the City Hall lawn like they've done in the 282 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:55,800 past, and we're collaborating with them. And then we have Shelby County's 283 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:59,240 Pinwheels for Prevention, which is Child Abuse Prevention Month in April, and 284 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:03,400 they will be coming out to host their event here. They have a medical truck. 285 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:07,520 It's free to the public, bouncy houses, lots of information and activities. So, 286 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:11,160 we're excited about that. And then, of course, the community 287 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:15,520 center's also having their spring craft fair on the 25th, which is a huge event 288 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:19,560 that they do every year. So, other than that and the 25 food trucks that have 289 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:23,840 already signed up for Chelsea Fest, we're doing great. So, just keep giving 290 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:28,200 us those ideas. The Cupid event was fantastic, and we hope to do one for um 291 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:33,160 St. Patrick's Day. We might have to go find a leprechaun. So, we love 292 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:37,640 supporting our community, including our local businesses. So, thanks for giving 293 00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:42,880 us the opportunity, me and Mr. Wayne, to help promote the city and all the great 294 00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,880 things we have.
