1
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:27,760
And we're ready. At this time, I'll call to order the City of Georgia Public Service Committee meeting for December 1st, 2025. We'll start with roll call. Councilwoman Rarodin. Here. Councilman Mugren. Here. Councilman Hugg. I am here. Next item is the public service minutes from the November 17th, 2025 Public Service Committee meeting. Any changes or edits or discussion? No. Motion to approve.

2
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,480
I have a motion and a second to approve.

3
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:38,460
the public service meeting minutes from November 17th, 2025 as presented, all in favor?

4
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:38,900
Aye.

5
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:39,280
Aye.

6
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:40,080
Opposed?

7
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,420
Showing none, we can move to citizens to be heard on agenda items.

8
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,280
Are there any citizens who would like to speak on an agenda item?

9
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,740
Seeing none, we'll move right into contracts.

10
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:56,520
630, award of contract, a precision truck center for the engine rebuild and

11
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:03,200
I have a truck Fire Department 779 in the amount of $28,454 and $54 cents.

12
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,020
One of the Fire Department Ladder Trucks was having issues with its engine.

13
00:01:09,380 --> 00:01:13,160
After review it was determined that it would need to be replaced or rebuilt.

14
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:22,220
Reviewed this determined that a rebuild was probably the better option and a little bit more cost effective.

15
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:27,720
We saw quotes from three companies that could rebuild it.

16
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:32,060
Precision truck center was the provided the low bid.

17
00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:37,060
Actually, this was just originally about a $23 or $24,000 bill.

18
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,900
So it would not have required a council action.

19
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,800
But when they got in there and started working,

20
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:44,040
they determined that there was some additional work that need to be done.

21
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,840
So it pushed it just over $28,000.

22
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:48,880
So that's why we're bringing it to council for approval.

23
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,220
Questions, comments?

24
00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:51,020
Yeah.

25
00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:52,560
What year is that fire truck?

26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,980
I don't know that off the top of my head.

27
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:55,860
I can find out though.

28
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,880
But we anticipated being in service for a number of years.

29
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,900
That's why we're doing the review.

30
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,280
But there's no warranty left out of this.

31
00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:01,940
No, no.

32
00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:03,140
All right.

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,140
Next item will be 631.

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,320
A word of contract for the 2025 roadways be servicing contract A

35
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:17,000
to PT for construction company in the amount of $516,142.58.

36
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,920
Yes, so this is our annual resurfacing project that we went out for this year.

37
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,460
We had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 bidders on this.

38
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:37,920
PT Farrell was the low bidder at the amount specified there, which was about 10 and a half percent below the engineer's estimate.

39
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,620
PT Farrell's been around for a long time here, so we would like to see this move to council for approval.

40
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:45,960
Questions or comments?

41
00:02:47,620 --> 00:02:57,100
632 approval of purchase one purchase of one compact electric sweeper from Brown equipment company in the amount of $342,523.

42
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:06,740
The 2025 budget included funding for the purchase of a small sweeper for the Ottawa Street deck in the downtown area including the new city square.

43
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:14,740
We reviewed a number of different options, including a diesel option, determined that the electric

44
00:03:14,740 --> 00:03:21,140
sweeper would be best because of the parking deck has a limited height to operate, it's an

45
00:03:21,140 --> 00:03:28,180
older deck with lower ceilings, and also some concerns with fumes and noise as well as fueling

46
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:33,580
concerns, getting the fuel to the sweeper, this is a smaller sweeper like driving it to

47
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,320
would be a challenge so we would have to deliver fuel there.

48
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:44,100
So we went with the electric sweeper, it is available via source well pricing,

49
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,060
which if you remember is a consortium that bids all kinds of competitively bids, all kinds of products.

50
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:57,660
We are also eligible, well we will be reimbursed, $100,000 with an energy efficiency grant,

51
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:08,800
by purchasing an electric sleeper, which will reduce the cost, and we are recommending moving forward with the purchase at this time.

52
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:10,700
Question for examine.

53
00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:13,260
So it's reducing the cost from the $342,000.

54
00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:14,780
That's right. There'll be $100,000 off that.

55
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:15,220
Okay. Okay.

56
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:22,060
And as far as the plaza, which is open, I get the deck, is there a reason we can't use standard sweepers on the plaza?

57
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,460
No, the thought was if we had, we wanted one of these for the deck for years.

58
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:34,100
finally got in the budget. The thought is it would be multi-purpose. You can also add

59
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:38,340
attachments to this so we could potentially do like plowing, snow plowing on

60
00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:41,960
sidewalks or it's no removal on sidewalks with a broom brush and things like

61
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:48,580
that. So it's got multi-function possibilities. And as far as like using a full

62
00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:54,340
side street sweeper, I think they're probably too heavy for the you know the plaza

63
00:04:54,340 --> 00:04:56,060
area generally.

64
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,360
All right 633 the word contract is a district meter area chamber installation

65
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:10,840
project to PT for construction construction in the amount of $267,550. So what this contract

66
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:17,440
is related to is as we are expanding our meter zone areas like our district meter so our water

67
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:25,560
Our main network is 650 miles and we're splitting it into smaller zones so that we can monitor

68
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,120
the water loss in real time.

69
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,380
We do have a handful of zones in action right now that's giving us actionable information

70
00:05:33,380 --> 00:05:34,220
that we can see.

71
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Oh, not only water is up in this area, let's look for leaks and stuff.

72
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:42,340
So that's been great and this is to expand that.

73
00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:47,060
We also have, concurrently in another path, we have something in council order approved

74
00:05:47,060 --> 00:05:52,020
that we're implementing now, is this xylem view software that's going to be in concert

75
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:56,700
with this and give us like dashboarding and real-time data, like so that on a daily basis

76
00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:02,300
we'll be able to do a, to see what the difference is between like water pumped into zone versus

77
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:06,980
what's built so we really get, and start getting really granular on that tracking down water

78
00:06:06,980 --> 00:06:13,260
loss. And so to get to that point we have to basically put valve vaults around the water

79
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:18,000
mains so that these meters can go into the water main. And that's what this project

80
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,120
is for. This is to put in 12 additional, yeah 12 additional valve vaults on the water

81
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,060
main. And then another vendor will be putting the meters in. But with that we had six bidders

82
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:34,420
from 268,000 to 790,000 on the bids.

83
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,580
A little biter it was PT Farrow,

84
00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:39,700
and recommend they do lots of work like that for us,

85
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,000
and we're recommending a war to PT Farrow

86
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:42,820
for this project.

87
00:06:45,260 --> 00:06:45,900
Questions or comments?

88
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,960
I'm thrilled that that's expanding.

89
00:06:48,260 --> 00:06:48,660
That's great.

90
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:51,320
That's really a light at the end of the tunnel

91
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,240
for figuring out this water loss issue.

92
00:06:53,620 --> 00:06:54,160
Can you say?

93
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,100
Yes, yeah.

94
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,980
And then in a month or two,

95
00:06:56,980 --> 00:06:58,780
we'll have a larger presentation

96
00:06:58,780 --> 00:07:03,160
for the service committee on everything that going out behind the scenes with that.

97
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,580
I look forward to it, thank you.

98
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:07,840
I want to real quickly before we do voting.

99
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:09,000
I want to go back to the sweeper.

100
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:11,260
What does the other sweepers cost when we buy them?

101
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,780
Like a full size sweeper?

102
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:15,780
About $500,000?

103
00:07:15,940 --> 00:07:17,560
Yeah, like say $450,000 to $500.

104
00:07:17,780 --> 00:07:19,900
And this seems awful after this, it's a very limited use, right?

105
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,620
Yeah, it's a smaller sweeper, for sure.

106
00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:27,440
But again, we've wanted one for the deck for a number of years to clean the salt and other debris out of there.

107
00:07:28,780 --> 00:07:31,960
You know, it is a smaller sweeper, but it has different functionality.

108
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:34,420
In the back of the day, we used to have two decks.

109
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,060
Now, we only have one, yes, and we might get rid of that eventually.

110
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:40,200
If somebody comes along, I'm going to have a John Bayes Jr.

111
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,700
I will let the council make that decision.

112
00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:46,800
So, and just doing it for them seems like a lot.

113
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:49,820
You know, I'm going to separate that one out, unless there's an objection.

114
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:52,580
You could separate it, you like?

115
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,060
Okay.

116
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,060
So, we can do the other three then.

117
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:23,880
I have a motion and a second to move items on a contract 631 and 633 to the full council

118
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,420
with committee recommendation to approve.

119
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,620
All in favor?

120
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:28,260
Aye.

121
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:29,460
Aye.

122
00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:34,560
opposed showing none you'd have to deal with 632 also to Greg was this in the

123
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:40,700
original estimate for the plaza no this was a separate item in the capital

124
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:44,360
budget and I understand you know when people say it's in the budget the

125
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,960
matter if we can put anything we want in the budget sure so can stay up on me they

126
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,580
can put more than we can afford in the budget and still would be in the budget

127
00:08:50,580 --> 00:08:56,540
sure so okay all right then let's let's do item 632 then I'll

128
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,660
second I have a

129
00:09:01,660 --> 00:09:06,960
motion in a second to move item on the contract, item number 632, to the full council with committee

130
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,180
recommendation to approve. All in favor?

131
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:09,900
Aye.

132
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,120
Opposed? No. It passes 2-1 recommended to the full council to be purchased.

133
00:09:17,060 --> 00:09:21,600
Change orders passed and final payment 634. Approval of amendment number 1 to the professional

134
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,440
services agreement for engineering design services for the Displanes River Tunnel Cross and

135
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,640
Rehabilitation Project for the Water Main Replacement Program to Jacobs Associates.

136
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,540
doing business as DELF underground in the amount of $268,630.

137
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,660
So this is for the design of one of the Waterman replacement projects.

138
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,000
We've been going the route of doing a preliminary design and then a detailed design because

139
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,840
these projects are larger and sometimes more intricate so we get agreement going so that

140
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,480
you can figure out the exact scope and then go and then have a detailed design contract.

141
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:07,400
So Council already proved, and the project's pretty much done for preliminary design engineering of what the project is, is the replacement of the water main going under the tunnel.

142
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:11,600
So that's kind of one of the things, rehabilitation of the tunnel itself.

143
00:10:11,940 --> 00:10:14,800
So in the preliminary engineering, we did an assessment of the tunnel.

144
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:23,000
So we pumped it down, inspectors went in there, all that good stuff, a report was generated as to what needs to be done in the tunnel to rehab it.

145
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,700
Just kind of some fun facts so the we have two water mains in there and then there's a couple of banding gas mains

146
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:35,180
And they're all on like this plank decking material and then there's a bunch of like other stuff that's in there, too

147
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:35,980
so

148
00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:40,120
Surveying was done to get the exact dimensions of everything and

149
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:48,480
And so now we're going into detailed design to get into the weeds of putting the bid set together for what needs to be done

150
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,600
So everything that's in there is going to need to come out then the tunnel will need some like touch up

151
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:59,020
Then everything has to go back in and so that this is generally the scope of that

152
00:10:59,020 --> 00:11:08,920
So with that this contract this design contract will bring that work to a biddle project and the construction of that will start in like the summer

153
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,560
Issue of next year. So that's that we're looking forward to bring this detailed design contract

154
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,060
to correct, awarded to Delve Underground,

155
00:11:17,340 --> 00:11:18,300
to full council.

156
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:19,720
Questions or comments?

157
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,700
Just a question to, so would we say money,

158
00:11:25,820 --> 00:11:26,640
if we didn't do the preliminary,

159
00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:28,460
we just put it all on the detail?

160
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:29,540
You know what I'm saying?

161
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,180
Why would you like?

162
00:11:30,860 --> 00:11:31,300
Sure.

163
00:11:31,540 --> 00:11:34,740
Yeah, so if we do that, what happens is consultants

164
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:37,900
have to be conservative as to what the design is,

165
00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:41,500
because the tunnel itself, they didn't even know

166
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:42,600
what condition it was in.

167
00:11:42,600 --> 00:12:12,580
you couldn't because it hasn't been accessed in some time, so it's the short answer is that it saves the city money to do it like this because then a consultant or contractor doesn't have much risk on them to do their due diligence to figure out what needs to be done so they don't give you like a loaded proposal with extra fluff in it so this lets them sharpen their pencil on the first one could be like oh here here's our price to get into this thing figure out what needs to be done and then we can give you a detailed scope for just that.

168
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,480
as opposed to if we ask them for an all-in contract right off the bat they have to

169
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,020
assume the worst conditions like all right we have to assume extra time for

170
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:26,420
this extra time for that so it does help us and then it also helps us do

171
00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:30,680
these projects a little faster and then with time-value money nowadays too with

172
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:34,360
how much bid prices go up every year it lets us kind of just get into a

173
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,400
groove on this. For the preliminary engineering is done without actually going in

174
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:47,620
The preliminary engineering was to figure out what the detailed scope would be, so the preliminary engineering did get them in the tunnel again.

175
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:56,020
Got them in the tunnel, they did their assessment, so now they know the condition of it, and this detailed design, I don't believe they need to go in again.

176
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,780
Now they are designing like the details of what the tunnel rehab will be and all that.

177
00:13:04,530 --> 00:13:09,810
Okay. I mean, what would change between going into the tunnel and going back to their

178
00:13:09,810 --> 00:13:13,470
office due preliminary, as opposed to they have all the, I mean, they're not gathering

179
00:13:13,470 --> 00:13:19,090
new information for the detail. Right. So they have all the information already. Yes.

180
00:13:19,170 --> 00:13:22,730
In the tunnel. Yeah. So the preliminary engineering got them all the information they needed

181
00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:27,110
to be able to go in detailed design. So like, one of the deliverables they had for preliminary

182
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:31,390
engineering was getting all the surveying done. So they have all that. They're able to put

183
00:13:31,390 --> 00:13:37,270
But the base sheets together, but now for detailed design, that includes things like putting the bid documents together.

184
00:13:37,830 --> 00:13:41,970
And to specify what work needs to happen in the tunnel now.

185
00:13:48,010 --> 00:13:52,270
Okay, 635, you guys don't have anything to do on that now, you know, thank you.

186
00:13:52,630 --> 00:13:57,870
It's 35 approval, change on number one for the 2025 sanitary sewer cleaning and inspection program.

187
00:13:57,870 --> 00:14:03,050
to pipe view America and the amount of $82,779.94?

188
00:14:03,850 --> 00:14:08,790
Yeah, the, this memo is for twofold.

189
00:14:09,010 --> 00:14:13,730
One is to add, sorry, so we ordered a contract

190
00:14:13,730 --> 00:14:18,870
to pipe view to do our annual sewer cleaning and televising.

191
00:14:19,470 --> 00:14:21,890
And this change order is to do two purposes.

192
00:14:22,610 --> 00:14:25,630
One is just kind of balancing quantities

193
00:14:25,630 --> 00:14:31,270
from what that original project was and then two, we're adding some work to it and that is

194
00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:36,610
We're doing some lateral locating for the for the water main program. It's on the city's

195
00:14:36,610 --> 00:14:42,130
Cities on the hook for locating the laterals so that the contractors know where they are so they don't dig through them

196
00:14:42,130 --> 00:14:47,270
And then the other thing that we're adding is the southeast Juliet sanitary district of which we

197
00:14:47,270 --> 00:14:48,970
The last couple of week

198
00:14:48,970 --> 00:14:51,530
Council Sessions, we've had some awards for that.

199
00:14:51,770 --> 00:14:53,410
The city has taken over the southeast

200
00:14:53,410 --> 00:14:55,110
really at Sanitary District from the county

201
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:58,490
and the county's giving us funds to maintain it

202
00:14:58,490 --> 00:14:59,270
and rehab it.

203
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,400
These additional funds are all money that we're getting from getting back from the county to do the additional work for the Southeast

204
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:16,940
Juliet sanitary district there. A small amount of that is city money for the the lateral locating, but the big chunk of this is the the sewer

205
00:15:16,940 --> 00:15:23,260
televising and cleaning for Southeast Juliet sanitary district at the county is paying for reimbursing us.

206
00:15:23,260 --> 00:15:27,140
So are they reimbursing us with the 83,000?

207
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:30,460
92, 92,000.

208
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,540
And they're also paying for the 528,000 original?

209
00:15:39,580 --> 00:15:47,860
No, just the 92,000 is what the new work being awarded to.

210
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,960
Just the work that's in the South.

211
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:50,860
Correct.

212
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:51,580
Okay.

213
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:52,300
All right.

214
00:15:55,340 --> 00:16:00,080
638 approval of change or number two to the claim field road from theodore street to black

215
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,020
road water main improvements project to Austin Tyler construction incorporated for a decrease

216
00:16:05,020 --> 00:16:14,580
in the amount of $1,735,236.11 cents and pay estimate number 11 and final in the amount of $564,960

217
00:16:14,580 --> 00:16:15,500
and $68.

218
00:16:15,860 --> 00:16:16,420
Great.

219
00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:23,220
Yes, so this memo is to close out this project as the original award was for about 9.5 million

220
00:16:23,220 --> 00:16:25,360
I see that there's a bit of a sizable

221
00:16:26,340 --> 00:16:34,360
Decrease on here and a final amount and a big chunk of that ends up being for I guess no pun intended is the less chunks of rock than on the

222
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:41,020
In the bids we put in we have soil boring's done in advance and we figure out what the rock elevation is

223
00:16:41,020 --> 00:16:43,760
You know, we want to have a little extra fluff in there

224
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:50,000
So we're not coming up for another additional funds and so with that and some of the deducks

225
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,000
We were able to not have to use in the project that ended up being a credit or a deduct of about that 1.7 million dollar amount

226
00:16:58,540 --> 00:17:05,400
So that's item one and then the item two was that there was a change order for a time extension to give the contractor

227
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:13,400
Some more time to deal with field changes in staging for restoration. So with that we'd like to see this move forward council for approval

228
00:17:14,020 --> 00:17:19,020
questions or comments? Yeah one question on the item right before that too. Is this

229
00:17:19,020 --> 00:17:25,680
$82,779 but the reimbursing of 92,000 roughly right? Yeah so what it is is

230
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,580
that the $92,000 is the cost for the Southeast Joliet Sanitary District

231
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:35,180
televising and then we're getting a credit back for unused quantities from the

232
00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:38,600
original bid. That's why it's less than the 92 if that answers the question.

233
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,560
All right, that's the final item on a changeover of pay estimates and final payments.

234
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:53,740
Okay, under change orders, pay estimates and final payments, I'd like to make a motion to move items 634, 635 and 638 to the full council with this committee's recommendation to approve.

235
00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:05,240
I have a motion in a second that the items under change orders, pay estimates and final payments 634, 635 and 638 will be sent to the full council with committee recommendation to approve.

236
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:05,880
All in favor?

237
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:06,320
Aye.

238
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,960
I oppose showing none we can move into ordinance and resolutions 648 resolution

239
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,620
approving an easement agreement for water delivery structure by the by and

240
00:18:15,620 --> 00:18:18,260
between the city of Jolia and the Grand Prairie Water Commission.

241
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,940
Right so as we've discussed before there's going to be various delivery

242
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:27,860
structures throughout the city at four locations that will be the transition

243
00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:31,560
point where the Grand Prairie Water Commission provides the water to the city.

244
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:37,300
So the first one of these is going to actually be starting construction in March.

245
00:18:37,580 --> 00:18:42,280
The Grand River Water Commission is owning and operating and paying for the construction

246
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:48,100
of that delivery structure, but the city have to provide the land for it.

247
00:18:48,340 --> 00:18:49,940
And so we have purchased property.

248
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:56,180
This is for the one on strike or avenue, and we just need to provide the easement to the

249
00:18:56,180 --> 00:19:00,600
water commission so that they will have access for constructing owning and operating this

250
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,640
delivery structure. So this has been reviewed by the city's legal department and

251
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,720
recommending that the full council approve this easement.

252
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:09,980
Questions, coming?

253
00:19:11,260 --> 00:19:11,320
No.

254
00:19:12,020 --> 00:19:16,680
647 resolution for the surface transportation program local match commitment to the

255
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:23,240
Theodore Street east of Brighton Lane and Illinois Route 59, railway widening improvement

256
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:23,600
project.

257
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:31,420
So, yes, this is basically the city's applying for a SCP grant that will help improve the

258
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:36,260
Theodore Street, basically widening lanes and some modifications at the intersection

259
00:19:36,260 --> 00:19:39,580
of Illinois 53, or I'm sorry, Illinois 59.

260
00:19:42,380 --> 00:19:48,860
Basically the application submitted for the Phase II B section as we call it and it's resolution

261
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:57,020
The position required that the city is capable of paying our side of the funding if or when we would get the grant, which is an 80-20 split.

262
00:19:57,260 --> 00:20:07,440
So, the project right now is estimated about just shy of 2.85 million with the 20% being roughly 570,000 in the city side.

263
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:17,640
We plan on using the MFT funds for that if awarded, and at this point in time, again, this is just a resolution saying that we have the capability of paying the match for

264
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,240
or the program in the given year, so we'd like to see this move to council for approval.

265
00:20:22,860 --> 00:20:23,220
Questions?

266
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:24,920
One quick question.

267
00:20:25,260 --> 00:20:27,220
We're not widening at the intersection of the ador.

268
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,340
I don't know where we have all the term leads and stuff, right?

269
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:30,460
You mean at 59?

270
00:20:30,860 --> 00:20:31,020
Yes.

271
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,260
For the most part, there is some modifications that you need to be done for safety improvement wise,

272
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,380
but it'd be more west of that that the widening be done.

273
00:20:38,820 --> 00:20:38,960
All right.

274
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,060
Thank you.

275
00:20:40,180 --> 00:20:41,780
That's the.

276
00:20:41,780 --> 00:20:43,000
Oh, come on.

277
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:43,320
Yep.

278
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:44,720
That's the second item.

279
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,820
the last item under ordnance and resolution

280
00:20:52,870 --> 00:21:01,890
second I have a motion and a second for the two items under ordnance and resolution 648 and 647.

281
00:21:02,430 --> 00:21:05,570
Let me send to the full council with committee recommendation to approve, violent favor.

282
00:21:05,930 --> 00:21:06,190
Aye.

283
00:21:06,550 --> 00:21:11,350
Opposed, showing none. We can move on to new or old business, not final action or recommendation.

284
00:21:12,150 --> 00:21:14,010
Report on utilities maintenance activities.

285
00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:20,950
Okay, so since the last report, which was at the November 3rd Public Service Committee,

286
00:21:21,130 --> 00:21:22,670
we've repaired 25 hydrants.

287
00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:30,570
Usually I report what percentage is out of service, but the app that we use, the hydrant

288
00:21:30,570 --> 00:21:34,530
repair app wasn't working when this report was prepared, so I don't have that information.

289
00:21:35,330 --> 00:21:40,210
Three valves were reset or repaired, and the thing to note for Warnbridge is billing

290
00:21:40,210 --> 00:21:44,610
had two. And I don't know the last time we had a monthly report where we only had two

291
00:21:44,610 --> 00:21:47,830
water main breaks. So I think it's we've been talking about this internally. I'm sorry

292
00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:52,810
you've come really noticeable that our water main breaks are starting to decrease. So we're

293
00:21:52,810 --> 00:21:57,730
about halfway through our water main replacement program. So hopefully we continue to see that

294
00:21:58,170 --> 00:21:58,570
trend.

295
00:22:01,690 --> 00:22:07,550
Any questions or comments? Is there any other new or old business? All right. I'm

296
00:22:07,550 --> 00:22:10,310
going to move on to public comment. Is there anybody from the public would like to comment?

297
00:22:11,310 --> 00:22:20,810
Seeing none we'll move on to adjournment motion to adjourn I have a motion a second to adjourn all in favor. I opposed showing none were done. Thank you everyone
