We're on to the next agenda item. 219 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:30,080 First reading of ordinance 2609 to amend the hotel height limit requirements. 220 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:34,000 This is ordinance 2609, an ordinance by the mayor and council of the city of 221 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,039 Dublin, Georgia to amend the code of ordinances for the city of Dublin 222 00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:41,120 regarding height requirements for zoning purposes to provide for severability to 223 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,559 repeal all ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict here with to 224 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,960 provide for an adoption and effective date and for other lawful lawful 225 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:55,919 purposes. We currently have a height restriction of 35 ft in the B2 uh 226 00:17:51,919 --> 00:18:02,080 businessoriented district zone. Um and we've identified that um most we've had 227 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:09,039 four applications uh for different hotels to locate out at the I16 228 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:12,320 interchange um near 441 and um obviously all of them would be taller than 35 ft 229 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,480 and so they have to go through a process of getting a variance approved for that 230 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:21,200 purpose. So, we've drafted this ordinance to provide an an exception uh 231 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:28,160 to the general 35 foot limitation to increase it to 75 ft if it is a hotel at 232 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:32,160 an I-16 interchange in the B2 district. That will be exclusive to that 233 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:36,960 particular situation. And um so this is the first reading of this ordinance. 234 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:42,480 » All right. We have next read the second reading of this ordinance at our um 235 00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:46,080 September 17th meeting at 12:00 noon. Um next will be number agenda item 236 00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:51,440 number five. I first read the ordinance 2613 to amend FY26 budget. 237 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,720 » Yes, sir. This is ordinance 2613, an ordinance by the mayor and council of 238 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,559 the city of Dublin to amend the budget for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 239 00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:04,960 2026 to provide for an effective date and for other lawful purposes. And um 240 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,960 the total original budget amount was $90,39,14 241 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:15,799 and the um resulting budget is 73,970,844. 242 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:22,480 I will say I know Mr. Daniels is still um working on some of the final details 243 00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:24,960 of this, so those numbers may be adjusted slightly, but this is pretty 244 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,440 close to what [snorts] we're going to end up being uh for the second reading. 245 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,600 All >> right. And again, that second reading 246 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:36,400 will be on uh September 17th at 12:00 noon. All right, going on to agenda item 247 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:40,559 number six, discussion and action on resolution 2645 to amend the fee 248 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,799 schedule related to rolloff carts. >> This is resolution rates. 249 00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:47,600 » Oh, sorry. This is resolution 2645, a resolution of the city of Dublin, 250 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,039 Georgia by its mayor and council updating the schedule of fees for the 251 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:56,880 city of Dublin related to sanitation rolloff rates and a set an effective 252 00:19:53,039 --> 00:20:04,160 date. Um we have the entire schedule of fees as it relates to garbage and trash 253 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:07,760 and sanitation uh in this resolution. Um but the only things that are changing or 254 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:13,840 that were recommended for change to the council. Um are are some cleanup items 255 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,039 regarding a second roll cart fee to make those consistent between residential and 256 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:22,960 commercial customers because it's the same cart. Um the rolloff dumpster rate. 257 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:29,360 We're recommending the disposal fee per dump be reduced from $225 to $200 and 258 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:35,360 then the landfill dumping fee per ton go from $36 to $40 per ton. Um and then we 259 00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:40,080 have a daily dumpster rental fee that's currently in there that's $5 a day and 260 00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:46,559 we would like to adjust that to so that it's only charged after 14 days um of 261 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:52,240 service. And um the other cleanup items are related to um deleting some 262 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:58,080 superfluous language and making clear uh what the rates are for some services 263 00:20:54,080 --> 00:21:01,840 that we already charge for. Um the um I will say that the silo waste management 264 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:08,080 authority where the landfill that we carry all of our garbage to did um vote 265 00:21:05,679 --> 00:21:15,760 to increase their rates that are charged to us um by quite a bit um after we had 266 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:20,000 approved our budget. Um and so we've been looking at that and currently only 267 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:25,039 have recommended for the council these minor adjustments to the garbage rates. 268 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,039 Council, you hear the recommendation and discussion. 269 00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:37,679 » Move for approval of the amended uh rolloff rates. 270 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:44,000 » Second of approval by Councilman Brown, second by Councilman Griggs to approve 271 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:46,159 the rolloff rates.

Item agenda item number seven discussion action on resolution 2647 to 274 00:21:53,919 --> 00:22:02,080 improve to approve the terms for proposal for cemetery 275 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:06,320 ceite cemetery software. This is resolution 2647, a resolution of 276 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,400 the city of Dublin, Georgia, by and through its mayor council approving an 277 00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:15,440 agreement with Site Industries LLC called Sims Sites Cloud Software for 278 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:19,679 cemeteries for up to five year for up to a 5-year term to authorize the mayor and 279 00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:23,200 city clerk to execute the same set effective date and for other lawful 280 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:29,200 purposes. The council's previously approved uh ground penetrating uh radar 281 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:33,120 to be used under another contract to go through all three of our cemeteries. 282 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,799 that's cross the creek cemetery, North View Cemetery, and the old city cemetery 283 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:41,679 that's behind the First Methodist Church here in town. And that process is 284 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:47,039 ongoing now. They're creating digital maps of the cemetery uh the cemeteries. 285 00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:53,840 And we'll be identifying um and providing data in an online database um 286 00:22:50,960 --> 00:23:00,480 for you know who what places are occupied and what places are vacant. And 287 00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:04,480 um we will then use that to um provide to sim sites which is a company that 288 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:08,559 provides a software that will make it where we can make that information 289 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:12,880 available for administration purposes for the city staff but also for the 290 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:18,799 public to be able to view and click and see and discover where loved ones may be 291 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:23,919 buried. So um we have um budgeted for this. the cost is a bit less than what 292 00:23:21,679 --> 00:23:27,039 we originally were budgeting u because of the digital maps that we're going to 293 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:31,760 be able to provide them. So the implementation cost is $14,000 and then 294 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:37,400 there's an ongoing annual license to use their software. Um that fee is $2695. 295 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,880 We do ask for council to approve this resolution. 296 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,960 » Any questions? >> Make a motion for approval. 297 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:50,000 » Second. >> I have a motion by Councilman Gre to 298 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,679 approve.

Council decided we were discussing trying to get the um 310 00:24:40,316 --> 00:24:46,400 [clears throat] weigh the pros and cons of us buying it out right versus leasing 311 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:50,480 and what have you. So we get trying to get and ask some questions about 312 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:54,000 separating the lease and leasing some of it and buying some of it straight out 313 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,600 route. So that's is what outright. So that's what discussion is about. So 314 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:02,480 we'll get back and have more more information on September 17th. Agenda 315 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:07,039 item number nine discussion and action on resolution 2653 to authorize the 316 00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:12,799 initial project assessment submission for the rural workforce housing grant. 317 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:15,919 This is resolution 2653, a resolution by the mayor and council of the city of 318 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,400 Dublin, Georgia to approve an initial project assessment for the one Georgia 319 00:25:18,159 --> 00:25:24,000 rural workforce housing initiative grant to authorize the mayor to execute the 320 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:31,200 same set effective date and for other lawful purposes. DCA uh the Department 321 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:36,240 of Community Affairs is has published um an funding opportunity for a grant uh 322 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:41,679 that is related to infrastructure costs for housing projects that meet certain 323 00:25:38,159 --> 00:25:45,600 criteria including price points. And um part of the process for this is that we 324 00:25:43,679 --> 00:25:49,200 have to submit an initial project assessment which is kind of a notice to 325 00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:54,000 DCA that we intend to make a formal grant application. But the grant would 326 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:58,480 um be up to $2 and a half million dollars to cover the infrastructure 327 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:04,400 costs which could be water, road, drainage, sewer um associated with a 328 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:09,679 housing development project. Um and we've been approached by a developer for 329 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:13,520 a a proposed project that would um take place on Woodlon across from the Woodlon 330 00:26:11,919 --> 00:26:17,520 apartments in the in the large vacant field that's there. And um so this is 331 00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:23,600 just kind of one step that's required for this process. And um yeah, on the 332 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:28,320 screen there you can see is kind of a um proposed uh conceptual site plan for 333 00:26:26,159 --> 00:26:33,440 what it might look like. And we're working with the developer now on 334 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:37,200 fine-tuning this site plan as well as a we'll have to have a developers 335 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:43,279 agreement uh in place between the city and the developer on the project. And um 336 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:47,039 so if we um get through all that then we may have for the council at a future 337 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:51,440 meeting um the grant application for your approval as well. 338 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:58,240 » All right.

We got to have have it all planned out. Um I will say I from my 344 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:20,080 understanding from DCA is that um we can have multiple grants going at one time. 345 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:23,760 It's possible, but um my understanding from them is that they're going to want 346 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,559 to see that the first grant is or you know, if we have one going that it's 347 00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:31,200 going well and that it's, you know, actually happening. Um there's there's a 348 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:34,480 lot of there's a very tight window for actually building the homes that the 349 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,919 developer has to commit to meet and do. So, um, it's got to be somebody's got 350 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,279 everything, their ducks in a row and has it all lined up. 351 00:27:39,679 --> 00:27:45,760 » But the grant is from the Department of Community Affairs. It's not a city 352 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:48,640 grant. It's just accepting the grant to to build the infrastructure. 353 00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:53,440 » Right. The city the city actually has to be the grant applicant. Um, but we have 354 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:57,600 a separate agreement between us and the developer about cost associated with 355 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:01,039 that. So, any overage in the cost of the infrastructure would, you know, I'm 356 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,559 assuming the council would want that to be the the cost of the developer. Um, 357 00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:10,799 but those are all things that would have to be negotiated in that agreement. 358 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,799 » Any other question? >> Move for approval. 359 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,880 » Second. >> Have a motion to approve by council me 360 00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:22,960 council member Brown. Second by council member Kobe. Um, any discussion? I had 361 00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:24,640 that already. All in approve. All in favor say I. 362 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:31,760 » I. >> All oppose say sign. Eyes have it. All 363 00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:35,840 right. Agenda item number 10. Discussion and action on resolution 2654 to 364 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:39,360 authorize an amendment to the contract with Don Construction Company for the 365 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,960 purpose for the purpose of establishing a guaranteed maximum price for the 366 00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:47,840 street division facility on Madison Street. This is resolution 2654, a 367 00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:51,440 resolution of the city of Dublin, Georgia, buy and through its mayor and 368 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:54,559 council to approve an amendment to the agreement with Dublin Construction 369 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:59,440 Company concerning the Dublin public works street division building 370 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:02,960 renovation project to authorize the mayor to execute and deliver the same to 371 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,640 provide authority for approvals of expenditures for the project to provide 372 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:11,120 for an effective date and for other lawful purposes. We engaged with Dublin 373 00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:14,720 Construction Company on a Seymar or construction manager at risk basis for 374 00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:19,520 this project. We've been working with our architect who is Brian Felder and 375 00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:23,440 Associates to develop the final plans for the building. This is concerning um 376 00:29:21,919 --> 00:29:28,159 what we call the cotton warehouse, but it's the facility that's on Madison 377 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:33,039 Street um going down towards our groundwater plant. Um it's directly 378 00:29:30,399 --> 00:29:35,760 adjacent to that property. And um we purchased this building with the idea 379 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:40,559 that we would move our street division facility um to this location. They are 380 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:45,679 currently housed at the end of South Washington Street down by Riverview Golf 381 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:50,720 Course and um on the other side of Rosco Bower Park. Um so we're hoping to move 382 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:56,159 them out of that area um and clean up that that space down there where they're 383 00:29:52,159 --> 00:30:00,320 currently located. Um the guar the way this works is we entered into a contract 384 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,520 with Dman Construction and they've been working with us on some of the 385 00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:07,120 preliminary matters as we've um gotten into the final design. We have the 386 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:11,279 construction documents. They have gone out and gotten quotes from multiple 387 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:16,240 subcontractors as they need it to deliver the project for us. But it 388 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:20,000 involves um taking that building and creating some finished space. Uh it'll 389 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:27,120 have office space for some of the staff. It'll have um bathroom facilities for 390 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:32,159 them. Um it will have a um common area room. It'll have a locker room. It will 391 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:37,440 have a meeting room. And so the street department, you know, responds often 392 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:40,399 times to um emergency situations. Um the building's going to be equipped with a 393 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:44,640 gas power generator so that they'll be able to go there and have it available 394 00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:49,200 um and have power in the event of some major catastrophe. Um and it will also 395 00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:53,200 have access control. There'll be improvements to the grounds. There'll be 396 00:30:50,799 --> 00:31:00,559 fencing and landscaping and all that's covered by the contract. 397 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:04,120 Um the total GMP is $3,240,000. Uh $240,532. 398 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:13,039 Uh this is within our um budgeted amount that we had estimated for the project. 399 00:31:10,159 --> 00:31:17,440 Um it is going to be funded by the 2024 splast. So it's the one penny special 400 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:24,399 purpose sales tax that's paying for this. And um all told the um total 401 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:30,559 project with the survey and architect's work that's been done is um just over 3 402 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:36,080 point or almost $3.4 million. Um I will say a GMP uh guaranteed maximum price. 403 00:31:34,159 --> 00:31:40,799 They are saying they will deliver the full scope of the project as it's been 404 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:45,039 specified in the plans at that price or less. And if it comes in less then we 405 00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:47,679 experience those savings. If it comes in more than that, if it ends up costing 406 00:31:46,399 --> 00:31:52,480 them more than that, then they have to eat those costs. So, um, this is a good 407 00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:56,559 one to get under under the books and thanks to the facilities committee u 408 00:31:54,799 --> 00:32:02,399 that's been working on this. Um, that's Councilman uh or Mayor Prom Jones, 409 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:06,799 Councilwoman Godfrey, and Councilman Chain uh for your help with this 410 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:09,919 project.

So, um, thanks to everybody involved. 413 00:32:16,159 --> 00:32:21,120 » Yes, >> I had a question. Um, someone approached 414 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:26,399 me. Um, once the street department is out from the Emiry Golf, Emery Thomas 415 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:30,960 um, facility and golf course down there, will that street open back up at the 416 00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:34,559 bottom of the park on the south side? Cuz we used to could walk all the way 417 00:32:32,399 --> 00:32:38,240 around or drive all the way around. Once they're out and all the equipment is 418 00:32:36,159 --> 00:32:41,440 gone, would you do you think the street will open back up? We've got to that's 419 00:32:39,919 --> 00:32:44,480 something I think the council we all needed to discuss and figure out what 420 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:48,640 the future plans are because I know we've also talked about having the a 421 00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:52,240 back entrance to like the Emery Thomas and that kind of thing. So, um we'll 422 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,919 have to look at all that um and see what we want to do cuz you got we've got to a 423 00:32:54,159 --> 00:32:58,880 parks master plan concept for down there.

Although it was his day off, Chief Moon arrived in full uniform, and 502 00:38:47,839 --> 00:38:54,000 took the time to connect personally with our young men. He did more than make a 503 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:58,000 presentation. He shared real life experiences, offered honest and 504 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:01,280 practical advice, answered questions, and encouraged our young men to make 505 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,720 positive decisions about their lives and futures.

I have concerns about who have access to the 543 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:35,680 information, who is shared with, and what protections are in place. I have 544 00:42:32,319 --> 00:42:40,319 submitted an open record request to better understand how the system is 545 00:42:37,359 --> 00:42:45,040 being used.
