1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,839
and make any adjustments and then
prepare the

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,719
capital replacement program for next
fiscal year

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:15,280
the capital projects fund 13 is
essentially the city center

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,760
so right now we have revenues of 2
million 417 160

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:28,240
and then expense
projected expenditures of 5 million 367

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:33,440
and 300 i'm sorry 5 million 367 360
dollars so that creates a deficit of

7
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:37,040
two million nine hundred and fifty two
hundred thousand or two hundred dollars

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:46,399
then we have the tick tiff uh larkin
the tiffer

9
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:50,320
larkin avenue around 30 of revenue of 35
000

10
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:56,239
in expenditures of 35 000.
so as uh

11
00:00:52,399 --> 00:01:00,640
lisa pointed out in a memo she provided
the only change we made a slight change

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,159
here in the in the appropriation because
the

13
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,799
the revenues were incorrectly identified
as

14
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:11,119
other revenues
and the revenues for the tif district

15
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,880
are actually coming from property taxes
within that tif district

16
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,240
so the dollar amounts haven't changed
it's just reflecting the dollars are

17
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,759
coming from the actual tif district
property taxes not from other revenues

18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,880
then fund 30 we have the debt service
fund for water and sewer that's balanced

19
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,520
as well the revenues and expenditures
are the same

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,200
general debt service for the city center
same thing here the debt service dollar

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,960
amounts are the same so it's balanced at
hundred seventy three thousand three

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:48,880
hundred fifty dollars
then we have the rest bus plant rehab

23
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:53,759
that's uh balanced as well revenues and
expenditures match at six million a

24
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:58,079
hundred thirty seven thousand dollars
then the fund for garbage pickup

25
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:01,759
the revenue is one million three hundred
seventy three thousand nine hundred and

26
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:05,759
thirty seven dollars
expenditures

27
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,200
are a little bit less that creates a
surplus of twenty five thousand four

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,720
hundred and
twenty three dollars

29
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,440
then when we have the police pension
fund uh the dollars for the revenues and

30
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:24,160
expenditures are the same so that's
balanced and then the police special

31
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:28,000
assets um is 8 500 for both revenues and
expenditures

32
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:34,160
so that brings us down to the city-wide
total so all those funds totaled

33
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:38,440
together have revenues of 40 million 482
454 dollars in expenditures of 43

34
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:42,080
million
938

35
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,800
298 dollars
which creates an overall deficit of 3

36
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:51,239
million
455 844 dollars

37
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,680
and as we're showing here if you pull
out the police pension fund that gives

38
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:02,319
you a total
without the pension fund

39
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,760
and then that has a deficit of the same
amount that i just mentioned three

40
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,879
million four hundred and fifty five
thousand eight hundred and forty four

41
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:14,000
dollars so
that deficit is going to be paid for out

42
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,879
of the general fund balance
so we have a reserve uh balance in the

43
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,360
general fund that will cover that
deficit

44
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:30,159
so that's an overview of all the funds
in the budget

45
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:33,360
the one other item i want to mention was
the

46
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,920
memo
that

47
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,440
lisa prepared
that identified

48
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:44,640
you know a few changes for
clarifications from the last budget that

49
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:50,159
was presented to you
so that references the one item that i

50
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:55,680
mentioned for the tif district
and then there are two other

51
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,400
items in here one is a slight increase
to the information technology

52
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:05,040
budget when this originally was
presented to you we didn't have the

53
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:09,599
final numbers on a couple items
for the antivirus

54
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:13,599
software and the backup system so that
increased slightly about by about twenty

55
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,639
thousand dollars
and then we also have in here

56
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,680
uh
a cost in capital projects

57
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:26,960
for the entry what uh entry signs the
gateway entry signs

58
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:31,040
um 143 000 that's at the full cost
that's only for budgeting uh

59
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:35,040
some of the gateway signs for this year
because we would do it over multiple

60
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:41,080
years we wouldn't do it all in one year
so that's reflected in in the memo

61
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,080
that lisa provided

62
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,199
so when we redistributed the budget on
5.2 that those changes he talked about

63
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,280
were in that budget that you had your
previous package so nothing changed from

64
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,520
five to till now those numbers are the
same

65
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:06,240
can you just good question so people
reserve three million we pulled three

66
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:10,320
million from reserve do we have like
what is the balance of the reserve

67
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:15,280
our reserve was about 10 million dollars
now for the general fund for the general

68
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,280
fund 10 okay

69
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,240
3.4
yeah

70
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,120
anything else
no that's all i am

71
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,759
in general terms yes and in the general
class

72
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:37,039
okay hang on hang on perfect council
question sir first i want to turn over

73
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,919
to our treasurer glenn conklin for any
comments you'd like to make in regards

74
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:44,080
to the budget i know you were involved
in the in the process also

75
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,960
i think it's been laid out pretty clear
i'd entertain any questions if you

76
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,400
haven't
you're you're balanced uh you're gonna

77
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,120
be thrown from reserves that was money
that's essentially your savings account

78
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,000
so
uh

79
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,639
generally that's where you pull capital
projects from and you've been building

80
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,880
on that for
a number of years you've actually got

81
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,880
more in your
war chest than you probably should have

82
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,199
it's hard to say you have too much but
um it should be put to use

83
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,400
are you stating that before the
reservable or after

84
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,240
well i think
we'll be sitting about 10 11 months in

85
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:25,360
in reserves that's going to knock us
back about four

86
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:29,199
three months would be healthy
six is

87
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:34,639
a little overcharged
you know are or very robust so we've

88
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:38,160
been we're we're still in a really good
financial position

89
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,880
better than most by
leaps and bounds

90
00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:48,960
and you'll be probably looking at future
projects like roads through that

91
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,440
through our uh
i hate to call it circle through our

92
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,440
reserves

93
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,560

comments from the mayor for our

00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,360
residents that are watching on

115
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:23,919
some budget highlights that i have
written down in regards to the 2022-2023

116
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:28,720
budget for city of cresthill the budget
is certainly as we all know the most

117
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:33,440
important document in in the city
for every fiscal year it is a fluid

118
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:37,440
document that constantly changes
throughout the year

119
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:42,320
the the budget was published in the
jolly at herald news

120
00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:46,360
we did hold two work sessions one on
april 11 2022 the other one on april

121
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:53,040
25th
2022 in regards to the budget

122
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:58,560
proposal along with several
of the department heads

123
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:02,560
you have before you a balanced budget in
the general fund that has been presented

124
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:07,279
to city council for approval with a
surplus of 91 000

125
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:12,720
some of the individual highlights from
each of the departments

126
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:17,279
first from the police department
this budget includes the hiring of two

127
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:21,040
additional police officers
and to make our community service

128
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,320
officer
to go from part-time to a full-time

129
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,800
position
with the cresthill police department

130
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:33,440
also in regards to our police pension
fund our fund our police pension fund is

131
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:37,120
funded at 75.5
percent

132
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:40,680
uh comparing
comparing to other communities

133
00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:46,640
surrounding us
75.5 is a fantastic number to have for

134
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:52,480
our police pension fund most of the
communities are far less than that most

135
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:57,040
of them in the 30 and 40 percent
we will continue as a city of cresthill

136
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,360
to meet all of our contributions and our
obligations

137
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:04,720
and
with our additional contributions we are

138
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:08,640
scheduled to be fully funded on our
police pension fund by

139
00:10:06,839 --> 00:10:13,880
2038.
state law is to be

140
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:19,600
funded at 90 percent by
2040 so we are in a very strong position

141
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:25,600
with our police pension fund
and we're in a much better position than

142
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:30,320
several of the other communities within
the state of illinois so we as a city of

143
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:34,959
crystal we as a city council should be
very proud of these accomplishments that

144
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:39,120
we've been working on for the last
15 years in regards to the police

145
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:43,360
pension fund
for the public works

146
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:48,560
the mft monies
this year

147
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:53,519
will be used for road rehabilitation on
arbor arbor lane

148
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,800
on rock run drive and on bicentennial
drive

149
00:10:54,959 --> 00:11:00,560
we will also be
doing design engineering will be done

150
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:05,440
this year
for the five blocks of center street and

151
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:12,160
cheyney avenue
and the

152
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:16,800
road project will be started in 2023
at an approximate cost of 1.7 million

153
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:20,640
dollars
in regards to our water and sewer

154
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:24,640
department
this budget includes upgrades to our

155
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:30,399
scada system
it includes lining of the water main on

156
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:35,839
route 30 from susanna drive
to six corners

157
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:41,440
since 2011 as everybody knows we have
had 29 water main breaks in this area

158
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:45,600
this is going to be a 1.9 million dollar
project to line this water main and

159
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:49,839
hopefully
decrease

160
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:54,639
and stop stop the number of water main
breaks on that

161
00:11:51,760 --> 00:12:00,399
roadway so that's long overdue
in regards to well number 14

162
00:11:57,519 --> 00:12:06,000
uh the new well um
near the backside of

163
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:12,240
new city center
that well is needed to be constructed

164
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:16,880
for our lake michigan allocation
i certainly want to send out my

165
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:21,519
thanks to our state representative
natalie manley she has

166
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:27,120
promised us four hundred thousand
dollars in a state grant to go towards

167
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:32,320
the installation of well number 14.
we are also in this budget planning on

168
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:36,320
constructing start construction of our
new west swords treatment plant

169
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:41,839
which again is long overdue which was
built in 1968

170
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:47,200
and upgraded in 1993 i believe it was
so uh that again is long overdue for the

171
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:52,639
city of cresthill at the west treatment
plant on gaylord route

172
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:58,399
it also includes hiring a wastewater
lead operator and a project manager for

173
00:12:55,279 --> 00:13:02,360
the lake michigan water transition
to help us with compliance of lake

174
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:06,320
michigan allocation and the
sustainability

175
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,880
of lake michigan water and again this is
going to be a 65 million dollar project

176
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:14,160
for the city of crest hill
um

177
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:18,000
but i believe that when we look at the
long range of the lake michigan water

178
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,839
it's going to be a
great move for the city of cresthill

179
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:27,120
which will be sustainability for the
next 100 years for several generations

180
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:31,200
to come in the city of cresthill
those are the budget highlights that i

181
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,959
have written down
that are included in this budget i

182
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:39,279

210
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:40,240
let let it be known that this is the
time and the place for city council to

211
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,680

on um

215
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:03,199
on the budget so if council has any
comments or questions of any of city

216
00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:05,440
staff please feel free to ask at this
time

217
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:15,360
well i um
i want to thank everyone for um

218
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:20,639
the time that they put into this
but to me every time there's um

219
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:25,040
when you dig into reserve to me it's
like

220
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:30,399
it's like a red flag to me
maybe not to most of you

221
00:16:28,079 --> 00:16:30,399
um

222
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,880
i'm
i am okay that is not in deficit but

223
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:45,440
again we're tapping into a reserve
and i have hard time when our streets

224
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:48,720
are crumbling we keep saying we have a
healthy

225
00:16:46,959 --> 00:16:52,480
budget
but when we only have

226
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:56,800
we're only able to do three or four
streets a year if that

227
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:00,800
so that's my point of view
i feel like

228
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:04,959
we should be able to take care of the
our roads

229
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:09,439
a lot more than than that so
we can sit and say we have a healthy

230
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:13,280
budget but do we have the money to do
streets we don't

231
00:17:11,439 --> 00:17:19,280
that's the way i see it
i asked the question of

232
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:24,400
lisa our um finance director when we're
hiding doing all this hiring if we able

233
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:29,280
to sustain these
this hiring and i didn't get a yes or no

234
00:17:27,199 --> 00:17:33,039
answer i got
hopefully

235
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:36,240
am i right
so

236
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:41,200
that's the only concern that i have um i
think there's a major concerns but

237
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,600
that's the way i feel
anybody

238
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:50,320
well i've else to my two cents to i
agree with the majority of what she said

239
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,720
i
i think we should be very cautiously

240
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:59,760
optimistic at this point but i think we
have a lot of things to keep our eye on

241
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,640
and i think she's made a lot of those
points i won't reiterate them but i do

242
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,640
agree with her

243
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,919
wholeheartedly

244
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:15,919
last call for city council
you know mayor i think you know at the

245
00:18:13,679 --> 00:18:19,919
end of the day this is a
tough uh

246
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:23,760
just a tough job all together to decide
what takes priority and what type of

247
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:27,200
work needs to to get done
uh i agree that there are road

248
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:31,200
improvements that
you know i'd like to see um

249
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:35,440

00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:02,000
reserve fund yeah we are tapping into it
but that that is what it's there for and

256
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:06,400
we've been saving for some of these big
capital projects and

257
00:19:03,919 --> 00:19:11,200
i'm just glad to see uh some of these
things coming

administrator jim moreno good evening
jim good evening

293
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:51,760
good evening mayor and council i've got
four items for you the first item is a

294
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:55,760
lease with dell technologies a 48-month
lease agreement for computer equipment

295
00:22:54,159 --> 00:22:59,440
in the amount of twenty nine thousand
eight hundred and seventy six dollars

296
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:03,679
and twenty eight cents
this includes equipment uh

297
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,840
for the police department we currently
have twenty desktop community desktop

298
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:12,080
computers in the police department
that are five years old and incompatible

299
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,280
with the current version of microsoft
windows

300
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,799
those need to be replaced with laptops
we also need some micro computers these

301
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:23,200
are computers
that are smaller computers that

302
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,679
would be used in the new city center and
police department

303
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,480
in the
conference rooms in some of the meeting

304
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:33,200
rooms
and then also a new tower computer that

305
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,640
we would use for the public access
channel to replace the one that we

306
00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:40,480
currently have we can purchase these
computers outright at a cost of about

307
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:45,520
thirty one thousand dollars but it's a
little bit less to uh lease them at

308
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:50,559
about twenty nine thousand dollars
uh one benefit of leasing is that uh

309
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:54,480
every four years or so we would replace
all those computers with new ones

310
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:59,840
so we would get an update to the
hardware and the software and instead of

311
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:04,480
replacing compute computers piecemeal we
would replace them with a new lease

312
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:10,240
every four years and then we'd have a
consistent and standardized amount of

313
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:14,799
computers and hardware
okay motion would be in order to approve

314
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,919
a 48 month lease agreement with dell
technologies for computer equipment in

315
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,600
the amount of twenty nine thousand eight
hundred seventy six dollars and twenty

316
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,039
eight cents so move this presented
second we have motioned by our other

00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,159
motion carries thank you

322
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:53,600
the next item is the approval of a
purchase of computer network back backup

323
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:58,880
hardware in a three-year backup service
plan from shi international corp

324
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,000
in the amount of forty two thousand
eight hundred and

325
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:07,039
seventy dollars
this backup system would replace what

326
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:10,640
was provided by vertec uh we were paying
vertec um

327
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,520
it was about twenty four thousand
dollars a year

328
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,520
uh
to manage

329
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:21,600
our backups uh this new system with unit
trends would save us about twenty nine

330
00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:25,840
thousand dollars it would cost forty two
thousand eight hundred and seventy

331
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:29,440
dollars over three years
um with this we would have a

332
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:34,159
comprehensive computer backup system
that includes two high-end computers to

333
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:39,200
replicate the backup with the with the
associated software and recovery service

334
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:43,200
this system will have an effective
disaster recovery process that will

335
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:48,159
allow the business continuity with
minimal recovery time

336
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:52,400
i talked with tim stinnett he evaluated
all the different options for backup

337
00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:57,120
systems and says this one best meets our
needs provides us

338
00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:01,760
more than adequate backup and recovery
and allows him to

339
00:25:59,919 --> 00:26:07,120
manage the backup system which we did
not have previously with vertec they

340
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:13,120
basically had full control of the system
now with tim here he'll be able to

341
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:17,600
manage and monitor the backups on a
level of what we need for everything we

342
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:21,600
have in our uh in our system and we are
saving like 10 grand like that right

343
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:25,919
right in the long term
right

344
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:30,960
and how long if we approve this before
we implement this

345
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,919
that would be um by the end of the month
so once

346
00:26:31,919 --> 00:26:37,120
tim is tim's got everything lined up to
place the order and get everything up

yes so um
they are still assessing the repairs

399
00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:42,320
that need to be done they removed all
the flooring that they needed to

400
00:30:39,679 --> 00:30:46,640
everything's been dried out
the claims adjuster from the insurance

401
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:52,159
company is supposed to be up tomorrow
to look at the situation um in the

402
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,080
damage and what repairs need to be made
we took photographs of everything and

403
00:30:54,399 --> 00:31:00,399
those have already submit been submitted
to the insurance company so they'll

404
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,279
start the process of
you know

405
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,960
evaluating the extent of the damage and
what repairs need to be made in the

406
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:12,240
cover the cost that they will cover for
that i noticed that the facade was like

407
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,519
moved as well
from where we sit

408
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:21,440
the
the whole front of it oh at the dais

409
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:26,240
yeah yes so there was some damage to the
front of the dais

410
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:30,000
and also to the platform
behind the dais so they had to remove

411
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,000
some of the flooring there that's going
to have to be

412
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:38,960
looked at and rebuilt as well
do we have an estimate time of

413
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:43,440
when all this will be
no no not yet so harvard contractors is

414
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:47,039
working on reaching out to the
contractors

415
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:51,039
the subcontractors that did the flooring
and did some of the other work to we're

416
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:55,200
going to have to order new flooring new
carpeting and then schedule the work for

417
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:59,039
them to do the replacement so they're in
the process of putting that together now

418
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,679
i don't have a specific timeline but
i'll keep you updated as i get more

419
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:05,519
information
is the timeline

420
00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:10,080
heavily impacted by
insurance i would assume

421
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:13,200
um it can be i'll find out more after i
talk to the adjuster and get more

422
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:17,200
information they haven't done their full
assessment yet because they haven't been

423
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:20,320
on site as i said we provided them with
some of the information they

424
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:24,240
know we already have the photographs and
some of the other information but as we

425
00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:28,559
get the remainder of the information
they need the contracts uh cost

426
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:32,320
estimates they'll compile all that
information and let us know you know how

427
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:35,600
we can proceed from there i have one
more question who is doing this

428
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:39,679
investigation like
how this happened well i'm going to

429
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:44,480
start with the insurance company and see
how involved they do how involved they

430
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:49,120
get i don't know to what extent they do
the investigation it appears to be a

431
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:52,720
faulty um
sprinkler head

432
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:56,320
we do have that sprinkler head so the
insurance company is going to want to

433
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,600
take that sprinkler head and they may
talk to the manufacturer i'm not sure

434
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:04,880
exactly what their process is but we're
going to start with that and see where

435
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,880
the insurance company takes us

436
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:11,600
is there any way to know
with that sprinkler head if maybe there

437
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:14,399
was a recall or if there was
you know any other

438
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:18,720
possibility of any of the other
sprinklers that were installed at that

439
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:23,440
time along with that one the possibility
of them being defective or causing

440
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:26,399
damage in the future is there any way to
we'll be looking into that we'll be

441
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:30,000
talking with we already had an initial
conversation with the company that

442
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:32,960
installed the sprinkler system but we'll
talk with them some more and i know the

443
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,720
insurance company is going to want to
talk to them themselves directly

444
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,559
and they'll get answers to that as well
is there any possibility that they will

445
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:45,600
cover some of that cost since was their
sprinkler system it's possible yes yeah

446
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,240
i think it'll be good something to look
into

447
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:52,080
the other thing i find out that the air
conditioning is not working it is

448
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,760
working now it is working now so it's
kind of disappointing for a construction

449
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,880
company that is in charge they're not
monitoring

450
00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:02,240
these things that just
i have to go out there we need to hold

451
00:34:00,399 --> 00:34:05,039
these people accountable i mean you
can't keep doing the same mistakes over

452
00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:09,040
and over
you know part of being

453
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:12,399
in this field you know you check if the
temperatures

454
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:16,320
it's warm weather which has been hard
for

455
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:20,079
90 something the last couple
day a week whatever

456
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:24,560
how is it possible we don't have air
conditioning on and if their condition

457
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:29,200
was bad why would we not notify what
why was it fixed at this point you know

458
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:33,040
well the air conditioning wasn't bad it
just wasn't turned on for the season and

459
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,919
i don't know exactly you know what the
schedule is i have a hard time

460
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:40,240
understanding this you know because i
used to run spec homes and specs home in

461
00:34:37,839 --> 00:34:42,800
the winter we turned the heat on
constantly we checked them on a daily

462
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,040
basis
verse versus summer you turn the air

463
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:51,200
condition you monitor the temperature on
a daily basis for spec homes

464
00:34:49,359 --> 00:34:56,639
for a construction company that's
handling millions of dollar job

465
00:34:55,040 --> 00:35:00,800
i'm having a hard time and who is
overseeing these people like who is

466
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:04,000
overseeing their work at this point like
is he our building commissioner

467
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:08,960
overseeing this or who who's who's
managing this company i mean

468
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:12,880
harbor yeah who's managing them who's
who's watching over them

469
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,520
well because my understanding will pull
kirk our building commissioner out of

470
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:18,720
this
who is proving everything that they're

471
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,680
doing
well i've been working with them and

472
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,960
overseeing i've been pulling in the
police department for everything related

473
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:30,640
to the police department side of the
building that harbor contractors is

474
00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:34,800
working on as well as public works so
we're working on it together

475
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:37,599
collectively with harbor contractors
and

476
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:42,000
there's i think what may have happened
is that during this transition

477
00:35:39,599 --> 00:35:45,359
from from kirk to harbor
some things didn't get handed off

478
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:50,880
properly and that may be where the
problem was and why the air conditioning

479
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:56,160
system wasn't turned on at the time i
have to agree with you with that because

480
00:35:53,280 --> 00:36:00,160
we pulled kirk and bryant like this
instead of doing a transition there's a

481
00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:03,359
transition where you pass something to
the next person just like right now we

482
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:06,960
have a new kind of development and
steve's still working with him because

483
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:10,720
there's a transition and that's my
opinion that's how it will shut down

484
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:14,160
instead of pulling them right away and
there's other people trying to figure

485
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:18,400
out what's going on
there was a transition yeah we didn't

486
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:22,960
pull them kirk kirk was kirk's brian
stayed on for a week

487
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:26,720
and then kirk stayed on for at least two
weeks if not more and was on site with

488
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,839
harbor
for two week periods

489
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:34,640
and nobody could catch an air
conditioner

490
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:38,640
i i had a few concerns myself
one of them being an issue that's really

491
00:36:38,839 --> 00:36:45,839
uh of alarming to me that i i really
hope we're going to check to the nth

492
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:49,920
degree for us
we do not want any mold in that facility

493
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:53,920
we do not want any mold in the sheet
rock we don't want any mold on the

494
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:57,520
concrete on the because that is just
going to

495
00:36:55,359 --> 00:37:01,680
be an issue ongoing that we do not want
to deal with so are we going to have an

496
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:06,240
inspection of to make sure that that
place is free of mold before we put new

497
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,760
flowering down new carpeting down knew
that because when something gets flooded

498
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:13,599
the sheetrock lots of times you have to
go up and cut it at a certain height and

499
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:17,280
replace that as well because it gets wet
and i the last thing i want is to build

500
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:20,960
a multi-million dollar building and move
into it six months later black molds all

501
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:24,800
over it so that that's really a big
concern of mine right and i hope we're

502
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:28,560
addressing that
yes the insurance well the insurance

503
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:32,240
company will address that because i did
speak with the claims adjuster on friday

504
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,079
and he told me that is one of the
components of their assessment and

505
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:39,520
evaluation is they will bring somebody
out to do an assessment to make sure

506
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,560
there's no mold the last thing i want to
see is our employees going to work in a

507
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:46,160
building
that could potentially be filled with

508
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:49,440
mold that's the last thing i want to see
right i don't

509
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,400
expect that will be an issue and but
we're going to have it tested the

510
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:55,920
insurance companies are going to require
that to be tested to make sure there

511
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,560
isn't an issue i think that one thing
that's good for us is

512
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:05,280
the on-site supervisor for harbor was
the one that discovered the sprinkler

513
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:08,880
system was activated and he shut it off
immediately and he called the

514
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:12,160
restoration company immediately and
before i even got out there this morning

515
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:16,240
they were already in the process of
cleaning it up drying it out so they got

516
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:21,599
on top of it immediately
and they removed the flooring and uh

517
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:26,079
they even uh cut some holes in the
drywall to improve the airflow to dry it

518
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:30,400
out as quickly as possible so it's not
like the the water hadn't been sitting

519
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:33,839
there for days and days
they were on top of it right away so

520
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:38,000
when you say immediately how long is
this sprinkler head running i heard it

521
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:40,640
was running like 15 hours four
about four hours it's a lot of water

522
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:43,920
though i know
four hours is a lot of water

523
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:49,599
when the sprinkler went off how come
your landing go off we're looking into

524
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,720
that as well that's a good question i
don't know another one of my questions i

525
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,960
didn't get finished answering but that's
okay

526
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,560
well and that is another one of my
concerns is why

527
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,760
why an alarm didn't go off why nobody
knew this why we were getting all this

528
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:07,359
water and
as he said i would want to make sure

529
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,400
that these other sprinkler heads do not
have the same

530
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,280
failure because
wow

531
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:17,680
what a mess that could be
is the alarm system fully

532
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:21,119
installed and functional
it's

533
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:26,000
jason we talked about this earlier today
so it's installed but we have to make

534
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:32,079
the final connection to wescom is that
correct uh yeah just before this meeting

535
00:39:29,839 --> 00:39:36,400
got off the phone with uh director
wescon

536
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:40,240
told him about the incident and
asked how soon we could get the radio

537
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,760
that
transmits over from the alarm that was

538
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:47,839
never set up so
um that will be set up

539
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:53,359
they are going to put a rush on it for
us so um i'm waiting on the paperwork to

540
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:56,720
get over to us we will fill it out and
i'm hoping that'll be done tomorrow

541
00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:00,000
morning
literally about an hour before this

542
00:39:58,079 --> 00:40:03,839
meeting was on the phone call all day to
handle it so

543
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:07,440
that should be functioning
sooner than later

544
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:11,839
based on that so westcom was very
accommodating to us

545
00:40:08,839 --> 00:40:15,359
saying that they will get on it right
away

546
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:18,480
it's a small connection fee
so i'll get that full amount for

547
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:22,240
everybody but i
talk a couple hundred bucks to get a

548
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:26,720
connection fee well i appreciate that
but unfortunately here's another thing

549
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:31,119
that was overlooked he said
so we have a series of things that were

550
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:34,720
overlooked that you know are biting us
yeah

551
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:38,480
so it wasn't a matter of the
alarm system being defective it just

552
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:41,280
wasn't connected
function

553
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,119
with
for a

554
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:50,400
signal for an alert to go out yeah the
tie-in between the building and wescom

555
00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:54,400
was not made and i
don't know why we'll be looking into

556
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:58,319
that as well i think
the um the contractor that installed the

557
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:02,160
alarm system
typically makes that final connection

558
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:06,480
and does the final testing
with wescom to make sure everything's

559
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:11,200
working properly but we have to look
into why that didn't happen

560
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:17,599
yeah unfortunately there's a lot of
unanswered questions that need to be

561
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:21,599
investigated so so will this impact
the budget

562
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:25,200
of this building
or this is going to be

563
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:28,480
um
an insurance claim that we hope that's

564
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:32,319
covered 100
it'll be an insurance claim yeah okay

565
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:36,079
and with the hope of it being covered
100 percent not finding

566
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,920
uh
you know man-made error or something

567
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:44,960
right and our deductible is five
thousand dollars so that

568
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:47,920
should be the only cost we incur
and they'll make us whole and they'll go

569
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,960
selling everybody they need to to make
themselves effective

570
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:58,240
okay thanks jim
uh moving on i'm sorry are we doing this

571
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:02,400
insurance since we still
um so the policy goes through you're

572
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:07,760
talking about the bridge policy that we
have right now so it goes through june

573
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:11,200
i'll be reinstating that we will until
um

574
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:16,800
we have occupancy because our current
provider will not provide that unless we

575
00:42:13,359 --> 00:42:20,880
have the certificate of occupancy so
we need to speak with berkeley marine is

576
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:26,240
who we currently have it through so
we'll speak with them about that

577
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:31,200
but there's also a couple other options
we could go with who could bridge it for

578
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:34,079
us
yeah we're going to extend it we're

579
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:38,560
going to have a bridge we have to we're
going to be fully insured until through

580
00:42:36,319 --> 00:42:44,720
the the bridge insurance until we take
occupancy then our regular insurance

581
00:42:41,359 --> 00:42:48,720
carrier will take over from there
thank you that we need to pay an annual

582
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:53,920
premium and i get
pro rated rebate after

583
00:42:51,599 --> 00:42:58,800

agenda item i have before you is an

605
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:28,240
implementation and project plan with
strand associates

606
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:32,319
since we made the decision to go to lake
michigan water in 2030 one of the first

607
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:35,119
steps is how to implement the changes
that will happen to our water supply

608
00:44:33,839 --> 00:44:38,960
system
strand when they did the water supply or

609
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:42,640
the alternate water supply they were
just looking at which water supply is

610
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:46,560
the most cost effective and efficient
for the city for the future

611
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:50,400
the next part is how do we get there how
do we do it what's the implementation

612
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:53,839
so strain will now work on the process
of what exact internal improvements

613
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:59,040
conceptual site plans for delivery
stations including tanks and sizes

614
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:03,359
conceptual transition plans
converting our wells to emergency

615
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:06,240
backups along with opinion of probable
cost for all of us

616
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:09,040
also
strand will start working on a project

617
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:13,760
plan
which is the first step for iepa loans

618
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,880
low interest loans you have to have a
project plan submitted to them and

619
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:20,240
approved
the other items included with the

620
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:24,160
project plan
uh in addition to everything with the

621
00:45:21,839 --> 00:45:28,640
alternative water supply would be the
lining of broadway theodore and the

622
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:32,480
remainder of plainfield road uh those
are three main thoroughfares that we do

623
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:36,240
not want to be digging up uh so we'd be
looking at aligning those potentially in

624
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:40,640
the future so getting the project plan
approved to get that epa funding in

625
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:45,599
place right now so i'm not i'm
recommending a not to exceed contract

626
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:49,599
with australian associates for 119 000
this includes 70 000 for implementation

627
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:52,240
10 000 for on-call support for the
switch

628
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:57,680
and water regional water source outside
of the plan and 39 000 for project plan

629
00:45:54,960 --> 00:46:01,680
so moved is presented second
we have a motion by other person

630
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:07,119
overland seconded by alderwoman gazal

00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:38,720
similar one is with strand and one is
with cornwell in a cornwell

638
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:43,760
engineering
the first one was the strand

639
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:47,760
for the occt
that is

640
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:51,760
the optimum corrosion control treatment
desktop study this is so when we switch

641
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:55,520
to lake michigan water
the lake michigan water does not

642
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:59,200
interact with our current water and our
pipes to create harmful reactions to

643
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:05,440
have
any sort of metal or lead flake off

644
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:08,800
and hurt our residents this is uh this
is directly to prevent another flint

645
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:12,560
michigan where they switched water
supplies they

646
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:16,240
didn't react well together
so this is a process that everyone in

647
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,359
the regional water commission is going
through right now

648
00:47:17,359 --> 00:47:24,079
strand is handling the
city specific stuff and then cornwall

649
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:29,359
engineering is a nationally known firm
out of virginia who the epa looks to for

650
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:33,839
guidance in this area so they will be
doing the lake michigan portion and then

651
00:47:31,839 --> 00:47:37,200
once we go into the where this is just
for the desktop study

652
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:40,720
once we actually start getting into the
live study we'll be shipping containers

653
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:45,040
of
crest till water and lake michigan water

654
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:49,599
to virginia for them to run through our
pipes that will ship out there

655
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:53,280
so this is the desktops portion to come
up with a plan on how to run the study

656
00:47:51,359 --> 00:47:57,599
and get it approved through the iepa so
i'd be looking for two approvals one

657
00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:04,079
with strand and then one with cornwell
for the occt desktop study the strand is

658
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:08,240
not to exceed of 23.3 and the cornwell
is not to exceed at 22 000. all right

659
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:13,599

a single complaint and if they did
didn't get back to me so it's even

679

00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:59,760
it really was
truly an awesome experience that we hope

685
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:02,720
to have a touch of truck every year now
because it really did bring the

686
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:06,960
community together and let kids come and
see what we do it's a great kickoff for

687

696
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:50,800
the whole public works looks clean i
mean it was just like you guys start up

697
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,280
every detail the only thing i think was
missing was like a bar for like the

698
00:50:52,319 --> 00:50:58,079
adult
like happy time uh besides

699
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:02,640

700
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:06,480
like i can't even thank you enough and
yeah i saw it like in the faces of the

701
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:10,480
kids the uh
the

702
00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:10,480
uh it was

703
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:16,240
good job the bar will not be in the
future plans

704
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:21,440
oh because the liquor commission we're
not gonna allow it so let me just say to

705
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:26,160
you mark as director of public works to
uh blaine klein

706
00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:30,160
as the assistant director of public
works to all of your staff to the police

707
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:33,280
department
the

708
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:38,720
clerk's office the treasurer's office
the cresthill alliance club everybody

709
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:43,520
that participated in that event
it did exceed my expectations also it

710
00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:47,680
was long overdue because of covid when
we had to hold off for two years before

711
00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:52,079
we did it but a compliments to you and
your staff for how well organized

712
00:51:49,839 --> 00:51:56,319
everything was you know i was expecting
two or three trucks and i i think you

713
00:51:54,240 --> 00:52:00,800
had probably close to a dozen trucks for
the kids to climb on and beat the horns

714
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:04,800
and everything else so i thought that
the quiet hour

715
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:08,640
for our special needs residents was a
fantastic idea because there was quite a

716
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:11,599
few of them that went through also
uh for their quiet time which was

717
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:16,079
another
another um

718
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:21,200
positive i heard nothing but positive
comments about the touch of truck

719
00:52:19,119 --> 00:52:24,720
i also heard a lot of positive comments
about the public works facility

720
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:29,359
and
you know hopefully next year it can even

721
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:33,040
be bigger and better so thank you for
everything that you did also for this

722
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:37,520
any other questions or comments of
public works yeah i'll reiterate what

my wife and i brought the three my three

725
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:49,680

um the activities they had a couple of

726
00:52:48,319 --> 00:52:53,200
baseball games that they had to get to
but they actually didn't want to leave

727
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:56,960
because they kept playing the game so um
yeah thanks i was i was quite pleasantly

thank you
okay moving on to our city engineer ron

738
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:44,000
wedeman good evening ron thank you mayor
i just have one item tonight um you're

739
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:47,040
looking for a motion to approve the
award and execution of the contract

740
00:53:45,839 --> 00:53:52,800
documents
by the mayor with jay and janual

741
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:57,680
concrete contractors for the 2022
concrete flat work contract

742
00:53:55,599 --> 00:54:03,040
this bit this contract is for all the
concrete repairs i'm required due to

743
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:08,480
repairs of underground infrastructure by
public works i.e curb gutter driveways

744
00:54:06,079 --> 00:54:12,400
things like that
contract was set up this year in order

745
00:54:10,319 --> 00:54:17,920
to lock in our prices it's a 12-month
contract with a one-year extension

746
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:22,800
so we have that in there as uh new um we
had six local contractors pick up um but

747
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:27,040
only one actually dropped off a bid was
the same one that we had last year

748
00:54:25,119 --> 00:54:30,240
he kind of specializes in this type of
work so

749
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:37,920
um he said good results there jane j
newell it's a 40 226

750
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:41,680
226 um dollars was his total bid and
that's just a single unit price contract

751
00:54:40,079 --> 00:54:45,040
obviously the final numbers would be
based on the number of repairs that they

752
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,839
they do
um

753
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:52,400
so that's that's all i have right here
in your package should we attach a bid

754
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:57,040
tab and i also referenced in
a comparison of prices from last year

755
00:54:55,359 --> 00:54:59,839
so um
right now that's what i'm looking for is

756
00:54:58,319 --> 00:55:03,680
a motion to approve the award and
execution of these documents

757
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:06,079
