[3:35] All right, time is 6.02 on September 24th, the Ferry Board Mayor of Mayor and Alderman meeting will begin.

[3:46] Good evening, everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, who are attending and here on mine, thank you.

[3:54] Thank you for attending the meeting. My name is Alex Kane. I'm the current Mayor of the town of Ferrygate. We appreciate the time that each one of you have taken out of your schedules to be here.

[4:03] to attend the meeting in person, those that were here earlier for our workshop, thank you for being here for that too.

[4:12] All of our meetings are public.

[4:15] The mayor and board of all the meetings are noticed every seven days or seven days ahead of time and just like our planning commission meetings.

[4:25] Board meetings have minutes that are taken and those are available on our website after the meeting is over.

[4:31] Each meeting is recorded and streamed live on YouTube and can be viewed also at a later date.

[4:38] If you're an attendance and you want to speak, those of you that were here earlier and you already submitted your blue cards.

[4:44] Thank you.

[4:45] But if you are here in attendance and you'd like to talk,

[4:49] either to an agenda item or just during the public forum,

[4:53] please make sure that you fill out a blue card and turn it in to the table up front.

[4:57] If you're unable to attend and you're watching online, and you do have a question or a comment,

[5:04] please feel free to send myself or any of the older men and email those emails

[5:09] that are found in our web site.

[5:14] Right after the Mayor's report, we'll be the Citizen Comment portion when, excuse me,

[5:23] If you're a fair, get resident and you're wishing to speak at that time, fill out your

[5:29] blue card and when your name is called, come up to the podium, make sure you give us your

[5:34] full name and your address.

[5:38] And then address your comments, your questions toward me, and then if there's a question

[5:42] or an answer from an Alderman, I will weaken, we can proceed with that as you discuss

[5:48] it.

[5:50] And the only other item before we get started here is when you, if you're interested in speaking

[5:58] and you fill out the blue card, just remember we ask you to be cordial and polite.

[6:05] Tennessee Code annotated does, there is a TCA involving disruption of a public meeting.

[6:13] If a person commits that type of an offense, with the intent to disrupt a lawful meeting

[6:20] procession or gathering that person, if that person also obstructs or interferes with

[6:25] the meeting procession or gathering that there is a classy violation that could go along

[6:31] with that.

[6:32] So we just haven't had to do that, but we just don't want to do that in the future either.

[6:36] So with that, I'll ask Hayley for a roll call for a call.

[6:43] Aldermen Burnett.

[6:45] Aldermen Ruffalo.

[6:46] Yes.

[6:47] That's an air of library.

[6:49] Here.

[6:52] Next, I'm going to ask Aldermen Burnett.

[6:56] Instead of a silent prayer tonight, we have a town staff member who is currently in the hospital

[7:03] around Ostrichard, Parks and Director and I'm going to ask you if you could pray for him

[7:11] tonight. And Alderman Ruffalo's wife had some surgery this week and she got through it,

[7:17] but she needs a big strong recovery. So Drew, if you could do a prayer for us, I'd appreciate

[7:21] that. Sure thing. Let's pray. Father, thank you for this opportunity to come together in this

[7:29] town that we love.

[7:31] Thank you for our families. We thank you for our health. We know that times are not easy for everyone, and we ask for your comfort. We ask for your guidance. We lift up two people to nigh. We lift up Rotto Strike. We lift up Bettina Ruffalo. Father, just in some really tough situations, and this life can be hard, which is why we need you. We need your son Jesus. We ask that you would be with the hands of the caregivers that are

[8:01] delivering that care, the surgeons, the doctors, the staff, everyone in the facility that you

[8:08] would give them wisdom, knowledge, and discernment on how to treat these difficult to treat

[8:14] diseases. Father, we pray to be with each of their spouses, with their family, with their

[8:19] kids, which you would comfort them and draw them to yourself. Father, we need you in those situations.

[8:26] we are asking for your healing, we are asking for your grace and your love to be a parent at all

[8:33] steps of the treatment. Thank you for allowing us to come to you with any and everything that we deal with.

[8:39] And even as I'm pray and father I know in my own life and other people in the audience they're

[8:44] going through extremely difficult times and I pray you would be there, you would be the rock,

[8:50] the foundation that they could turn to and know that you're always going to be there for them,

[8:55] supporting them and loving them and doing what's best and the name of your will.

[9:00] So thank you. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your son Jesus and your name,

[9:05] we pray. Amen. Amen. If I make a stand for the pledge of allegiance.

[9:33] All right. Thank you for that, Drew. Thank you, everyone.

[9:38] First item. Approve tonight's agenda. There are any amendments to our agenda.

[9:44] Second.

[9:47] All right. Those are a favor.

[9:50] All right.

[9:51] Opposed?

[9:53] All right.

[9:54] Approval of the minutes from September 10th.

[9:57] Any amendments to the minutes from that?

[10:00] I believe you spelled my name wrong.

[10:07] Sorry for everybody out there.

[10:08] This is Haley's last day.

[10:10] And we appreciate all the hard work you've put in.

[10:13] I didn't mean to make you turn red.

[10:15] You did not miss Belcher.

[10:19] Just had to put some on you.

[10:21] Thank you for all you've done for us.

[10:22] I'm going to miss you.

[10:24] Yep.

[10:25] All right.

[10:25] So I need a motion for that.

[10:29] Move to approve.

[10:30] Second.

[10:31] All right.

[10:32] Those in favor.

[10:34] All right.

[10:35] Both.

[10:37] All right.

[10:37] Moving on to the Mayor's report.

[10:41] Like we talked earlier during the workshop.

[10:44] We obviously want to get a lot of citizen input on the boring road situation.

[10:49] So we're going to really work hard as a staff to get that set up here in the next 30 days or so.

[10:57] So just be on the lookout for that.

[11:01] Like Drew said,

[11:03] Haley is leaving this a read here last meeting today and we will miss you.

[11:07] You've done a great job and we appreciate that.

[11:16] And because of that,

[11:18] have to make a temporary appointment. Effective October 2 at 12 o'clock PM Eastern time, as

[11:25] a mayor of the town of Faraga, pursuant to session 6-3-106. The town charter, I will be

[11:33] by appointing David Smoke as the interim town recorder. Again, that happened last year too,

[11:39] didn't it, Dave? Yeah, yes sir. I will try to get that interim tag off as quickly as possible.

[11:49] And if you are not doing anything tomorrow night, the boys at Fergett High School could really

[11:56] use town support. They are played in their rival, Beardon tomorrow night. It's seven o'clock

[12:01] in the stadium. So if you are available, we'd love to have you there. And be allowed and

[12:08] proud of the kids in town. They have worked so hard this summer through the summer and

[12:12] through the season and last week they were close to a dozen sophomores on the field.

[12:18] playing at a time so it's a big learning experience and you know if you don't know I volunteer

[12:25] with them I fly at drone during the game it's a program drew and I actually put together what

[12:29] four years ago I guess and so we we filmed it some down there in the end zone and I just I see

[12:36] how hard they work all the time and we're really proud of them but they they really could use

[12:40] to support tomorrow.

[12:43] So, that's all I have.

[12:45] Drew, what do you got?

[12:50] Nope, nothing.

[12:53] Thank you, Mary, I do.

[12:56] Since our last board meeting, I wanted to update the board

[12:58] and the town on some special several opportunities

[13:01] I had to connect with residents

[13:03] and represent a ferrogate across Knox County.

[13:06] I want to thank everyone who came to my first meet

[13:08] the Alderman event.

[13:09] We had at Reef Coffee.

[13:10] Special thank you to Andrew Ingram at Reef Coffee

[13:13] and Hurricane Cycles for hosting us

[13:14] and giving us an awesome informative briefing on e-bikes.

[13:20] He explained the different classes

[13:21] and how they relate to writing here in Ferriott.

[13:24] For example, I, you know,

[13:25] it says on the science class one and two e-bikes

[13:27] are permitted on our green ways.

[13:29] Like, class three's are not.

[13:30] He actually took out examples of each of the class of bikes

[13:33] and showed us what they look like

[13:36] and broke down all the parameters of them,

[13:38] which is great.

[13:39] There's a great conversation, a lot of Q and A,

[13:41] so that was awesome.

[13:41] make sure our trials are safe and more people use them.

[13:46] My next meet the Alderman event will be on Tuesday, October 6,

[13:50] 4 to 6 p.m. at fruition Cafe, 129 West End Avenue,

[13:54] I hope everybody stops by and says hello.

[13:57] I also had the opportunity to attend the County swearing in

[13:59] for our new officers, the Mayor and County Commission,

[14:03] and also the ribbon cutting for Operation Heroes Hill.

[14:07] Heroes Hill provides small homes and support for veterans experience

[14:10] homelessness, has a special fairytale connection, fairytale high school actually students

[14:15] help to build two of the homes that are there, putting their skills to work for people

[14:20] who have served our country. I also attended the Tennessee Valley Fair's Business and Government

[14:26] Development Luncheon. Fair kickoff as well. Thank you to Ed Shows for putting together a great

[14:31] fair kickoff and bringing so many people from across our community together. And finally,

[14:37] But Tina and my wife and I would like to thank everyone who sent thoughts and prayers or reached out via

[14:42] text or calls during her surgery this past week.

[14:46] They were able to extract as much of the tumor that she has as possible.

[14:49] She's in for a long recovery, but hopefully a positive recovery.

[14:55] Wait and see right now, but she's doing fantastic, she's home resting, allowing me to come here.

[15:00] And represent and be with you all tonight. So thank you for following that and your kindness has met more than us than I can express.

[15:08] With that I say thank you to everybody. And also, if we can, you can either do it tonight or you can do it tomorrow at the football game.

[15:16] Can we see happy birthday to David spoke?

[15:21] You're a choice. And I did tomorrow Dave. Let's make it tomorrow. Can we make it tomorrow?

[15:26] What's going to get the football game then tomorrow?

[15:29] Are we doing sure tonight?

[15:29] Whenever you want to do it, I don't sing no.

[15:32] Happy birthday to you.

[15:35] Happy birthday to you.

[15:38] Happy birthday to you.

[15:39] Happy birthday to you.

[15:40] Eight out of ten minutes straight into a time recorder.

[15:42] Happy birthday to you.

[15:45] That's all I got for tonight, guys.

[15:46] Thank you.

[15:47] Thank you, Joey.

[15:49] Next.

[15:50] Alderman Burnett, you have a proclamation you'd like to read?

[15:53] Yes.

[15:54] proclamation tonight is for daughters of the American Revolution day. So we're as the National

[16:00] Society, daughters of the American Revolution founded October 11th, 1980, an incorporated

[16:06] by an active congress in 1896. It's headquartered in Washington, DC acting as a non-profit,

[16:12] non-political volunteer, women's service organization. And we're as the DAR motto is God,

[16:19] home in country, and members were dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history,

[16:25] and securing America's future through better education for its children, and whereas

[16:30] D.A.R. members support these goals by engaging in worthy service endeavors to include

[16:36] supporting scholarship programs in our schools, honoring veterans in our communities,

[16:41] developing memorials, highlighting our nation's achievements, and participating in

[16:45] naturalization ceremonies for our new citizens.

[16:49] And whereas the DAR boasts 190,000 members in 3,000 chapters

[16:54] across the United States and throughout the world,

[16:56] with more than 1 million women serving as members

[16:59] since the DAR was established in 1890.

[17:02] And whereas the town of Phirigas

[17:04] pleased to recognize the following NSDAR chapters

[17:07] of Andrew Bogel, Bonnie Cate,

[17:10] Cavit Station, Emory Road, and Samuel Fraser

[17:13] on this 136th anniversary of the founding of the D.A.R.

[17:18] Now, therefore, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the Town of Ferragut, Tennessee,

[17:22] do here by proclaim October 11th, 2026 as daughters of the American Revolution Day.

[17:29] Thank you.

[17:35] All right, moving on.

[17:36] This will be the season four in time, so I know you have a blue car, sir.

[17:41] So, like I said, this when you hear your name kind of, come on up to the podium.

[17:45] There's a button on the podium that has a little, looks like a little person.

[17:48] Press that the light will turn green and then you can speak.

[17:56] Steve Cotrol.

[18:09] There we go.

[18:11] My name is Steve Cotrol and my wife and I'm Arthur live at 3-5-4 Boring Road, which is

[18:16] the last house on the right before we get to Smith Road.

[18:20] We're both Fergett High School graduates.

[18:24] I taught in the Nox County System for 34 years, so I'm all about schools, glad a new one

[18:31] is near us.

[18:32] I have a couple suggestions, one is, I'm generally in favor of closing boring road on that

[18:41] end.

[18:42] However, if the faculty, the parents, picking up kids, if they could come up part of boring

[18:51] road and connect with the back parking lot, in other words, going all the way from access

[18:58] road to the villages, they're driveway, go all the way across, and hit boring road at that spot.

[19:03] That spot, and then above that boring road would be closed, but that would give them more

[19:09] access to Kings the Pike. You could also move the traffic light that's across from angles

[19:16] and federal Boulevard and put that up boring road, if that would help traffic flow any.

[19:24] So those are my suggestions.

[19:27] Thank you all for doing all you work and good luck.

[19:34] Gerald Johnson.

[19:42] Good evening.

[19:43] I'm Gerald Johnson.

[19:44] I live at 3 to 8, boring road.

[19:47] And like Steve, I'm his next nor neighbor.

[19:49] I generally would recommend or would agree with closing the road.

[19:55] Some people think for safety reasons, so forth.

[19:59] But Sheriff's Office said it doesn't make a meaningful difference.

[20:03] if that road is closed from what I read, anyway.

[20:07] One thing when I moved there last November,

[20:09] I had no idea the amount of traffic that was on boring road.

[20:14] And most of it cuts through from Kingston Pike to Smith Road.

[20:18] And if that road gets widened, that's going to get a lot worse.

[20:23] No doubt about that.

[20:24] And it's not a matter of people going through there,

[20:26] when the school system did the report on the traffic

[20:30] They said morning road didn't have an advertised speed limit.

[20:33] It does now 25.

[20:36] And before it was closed, they'd come through there literally going 15 and 60 miles an hour.

[20:40] They're trying to save a minute by cutting through.

[20:43] And then they're trying to save another minute or two by going 15 and 60 miles an hour.

[20:47] A lot of people walk on that road that live right there.

[20:49] A lot of people have pets on that road.

[20:51] There's small children that are out playing in front of those houses.

[20:56] and it's just a safety issue for myself, myself and my wife.

[21:05] The right end, I wanted to say this to the right end right out.

[21:08] I think that's kind of ridiculous.

[21:10] I mean, it's an option.

[21:12] I'm not saying it's a terrible idea, but if you look at the other right end right out, like

[21:16] at Y goals, fresh market, wall greens, down on camel station, half the people ignore it.

[21:26] They drive around them constantly.

[21:27] So, for me, that's just not a very good option.

[21:32] I know that, and I really feel bad for you guys, because whatever decision the town makes,

[21:38] it's going to make a lot of people unhappy, either way.

[21:40] We know that's the case, but the schools are a mess anyway, everywhere it doesn't matter.

[21:47] They're all a mess, and I don't think that we should do things that make it for the convenience

[21:56] of parents dropping their kids off versus the people that live in the community there.

[22:04] I don't have the final say of course, but I appreciate you listening to me for a minute.

[22:10] And I hope I was polite and nice and the way I put that.

[22:15] So thank you for your time and effort that you put into this.

[22:18] Thank you.

[22:21] David Haines,

[22:28] for it anymore.

[22:36] It's already on. Hello. I'm Brittany Moore, 221 Boring Lane. I have lived in ferrogate my entire life group on the property that I live on. So, lifetime resident, I live in a house that was built by my great-grandparents under 25 years ago, probably the longest house other than the dozens that's standing on the property anywhere on Boring Road still. I also have 50 acres that backs up to Country Manor, Country Way, Boring Road, Village Green. So, a lot of acreage there that also impacts,

[23:07] people coming in and out. My idea and my plan, hopefully, is to keep it as farmland, continue

[23:13] to use it as farmland. I'd like to start cutting hay again on the property, like they do on the

[23:19] Ford property, which we've done in the past few years, but since my dad passed away two years ago,

[23:23] we haven't been able to do that. My access to that comes from boring road from King Simpike. I cannot

[23:29] get traffic. I can't get trailers. I can't get equipment to cut hay into the property without coming

[23:35] up from Kingston Pike because of the way that the road is cut where it splits off to boring

[23:41] lanes.

[23:41] So that's my first concern with any cut off or right in right out of boring road is the

[23:47] actual access to my property to have a working farm.

[23:51] Secondly, I wanted to propose a fifth suggestion that has not been discussed and was not

[23:57] shared to actually it's been very peaceful being closed off where it is right now.

[24:02] I will say it's been very nice for all of us.

[24:05] I appreciate it.

[24:06] I have a 15 year old to turn 16 and we'll start driving

[24:10] in less than a month.

[24:12] So, and we'll be turning in out of boring road,

[24:14] left and right.

[24:15] I make her do it every day during school traffic.

[24:18] She goes to ferrogate schools.

[24:19] My younger daughter also goes to ferrogate schools.

[24:21] She has zero problem, turning in left and right.

[24:24] And any time that we do, there's always option to turn right.

[24:28] Turn in angles and go out at the red light.

[24:30] So if it's terrible.

[24:32] But generally the way that the red lights break up their traffic, their eventually is a break.

[24:37] There's also seven houses right now up there that are coming in and out of there.

[24:41] That's it. That's why people have seen less traffic coming in and out is because there's only seven houses that are affected there.

[24:47] So my suggestion is to close it off where it is now. West. No, I'm sorry.

[24:53] East of the bus loop. So the bus loop would still go out. It eliminates cut through traffic of boring road.

[25:01] but it also helps cost saving measures

[25:03] because you're not having to build dead end,

[25:06] you're not having to build turn around,

[25:08] you're not building anything extra.

[25:10] It just basically makes two dead end roads there.

[25:14] And I think it is a possible solution

[25:16] that can help everybody to keep it quiet,

[25:18] keep it calm, keep it accessible,

[25:21] and stay for children that are up there,

[25:23] and also leave the access for us up there

[25:28] that need it on the other end, where it impacts that.

[25:32] So thank you all.

[25:33] Appreciate you all hearing all the, all the people.

[25:41] Andrew D.

[25:50] When you all, the name is Andrew Dusen to a five boring line.

[25:54] Uh, I'm gonna piggyback off Brittany.

[25:55] Kind of is like our access.

[25:58] Had no problems since I was 16.

[26:00] Turning the left on boring, or on the Kingston Pike.

[26:04] But I've got to get trucks and trailers up there as well.

[26:07] I've got a shot back there.

[26:08] So I can't come down.

[26:11] From Smith Road, so basically same concerns is pretty.

[26:19] Yes, I understand.

[26:20] What's the problem coming off Smith Road?

[26:24] When you get down to turn right into that blind curve, turn in the left up to the lane.

[26:30] You got the power pole, the hand is the mailboxes.

[26:32] So we'd have to redo the grid on that.

[26:35] So it's not the Smith Road entrance to.

[26:38] to boring. It's down. It's on boring. It goes off to your

[26:42] pride at the y.

[26:45] Yeah, but that's not a just sorry. That's not a

[26:48] Kingston pipe left or right. That doesn't have anything to do with boring

[26:52] hitting. It's access to the property. It's just up north. Correct. Where are you

[26:57] live off the side? Thank you.

[27:04] Paul Johnson.

[27:10] Paul Johnson 344. Bernie

[27:12] circle. And I have seven few points I'd like to make first of all. I'd like driving along

[27:18] the old boring road because it is nice and peaceful and quiet. But we live in Baldwin Park,

[27:25] a little further up on the main part of boring road. But I'd like to express that boring road

[27:34] should remain open to the public for safe public safety and for residents and emergency vehicles

[27:43] We as residents of Baldwin Park and other areas, which will now be stone meat coming in

[27:49] there soon, we need two ways in and out.

[27:52] One of the policies of the town of Farragut is to have multiple ways out.

[27:58] That was a new policy, it was instituted a number of years back, and that is nice having,

[28:05] And it's a good idea to have two ways in and out of a location.

[28:14] One thing was mentioned, possibly not having a four-way stop all the time at boring and

[28:21] Smith Road, basically the concept is, once you have a four-way stop, it should be there

[28:27] all the time.

[28:28] If it's a four-way stop, it should remain a four-way stop for predictability for drivers

[28:34] all times. I was at the meetings with Knox County

[28:40] South-Tools Systems, you know, was one of the public there with staff, and

[28:44] one of the suggestions we made, one with staff, was that the drop-off road should

[28:51] be triple lane, and we told them they should build it, prepare it to be

[28:56] troubling, if the double lane doesn't work, so they could widen it to

[28:59] I just like to reinforce that idea.

[29:04] Also, Alderman Burnett asked about the east end of that loop there on the road.

[29:12] They have built underground water catchment areas in that school.

[29:18] There's several on the property.

[29:20] They're huge.

[29:22] And that's between the end of that loop and boring road.

[29:28] So that's they've got underground facility there so they really probably can't build anything on top of that

[29:34] I just thought you'd like to know that and one final thing

[29:40] I've

[29:42] I've come out

[29:43] Down through the village village commons down the Kingston bike recently

[29:49] About twice a month about quarter to eight in the morning and I can't even turn left at that point because of the timing of the traffic lights as such

[29:58] that by the time the lights are...

[30:00] It was green. I can't get through there. I ended up having to drive through angles slot to go to the federal

[30:05] way traffic light. So thank you for your time and I've got two seconds left so I've done it there. Thank

[30:11] you.

[30:14] Page Brown.

[30:21] I'm Page. I live at 310 boring and that's Emily. We both live in the White House. Is that we're built

[30:27] there? I was born to Queen Hills and migrated all the way out west and love it here and

[30:33] I don't ever plan on leaving, but we would love to see the road permanently closed.

[30:39] It has been a lot better, like Gerald was saying.

[30:45] You didn't realize how much through traffic there was going through that road already until it closed,

[30:50] and so then to think about the thousands.

[30:53] I mean, of people that are going to be in proximity to that road now, upcoming,

[30:59] and then thinking about how many more people are going to cut through

[31:02] is overwhelming for us. We do have lots of kids that come and go on that road and lots of young

[31:13] drivers and all the things so we really appreciate the safety that it has brought to it

[31:19] just being completely closed off. My other thought and I was going to say this, if nothing happens

[31:25] and the road remains open. It is such a narrow road, especially down by Kingston Pike. It is

[31:32] not well maintained. I have been calling over here for years when it rains. It floods. There's mud.

[31:40] It's disgusting. It tracks up and down the road. And to think about hundreds of cars in that area

[31:46] with nothing being done. And about this space, they're all going to be on the side of the road.

[31:51] It's going to destroy the grass.

[31:53] There's not even grass there.

[31:54] It's ruts.

[31:55] It's so deep, it floods every time.

[31:57] And I think it's because they say the businesses don't

[32:00] clean out that drainage area.

[32:05] Well, I mean, it's bad.

[32:08] So that was just the other thing I just thought I would mention,

[32:10] just because I mean, we've been impacted by that for years

[32:12] over there without the school.

[32:15] So anyways, those are our thoughts.

[32:17] Thank you so much for your time.

[32:19] Thank you for letting us speak.

[32:20] really appreciate you all wanting to hear from us. It means a lot. So thank you.

[32:37] All right. Thank you everyone. Appreciate that. And like I said, thanks for coming and please be

[32:45] on the lookout for any other additional meetings we have. So moving on, we have a first reading

[32:52] of an ordinance tonight, approval of ordinance 2619 on first reading to amend the fiscal year

[32:58] 2627 Capital Investment Program Fund budget,

[33:02] previously passed by ordinance 2610.

[33:06] Good evening.

[33:07] I'm Tessa Cortez, Finance Director.

[33:10] The purpose of this agenda is to approve ordinance 2619

[33:14] on first reading to amend fiscal year 2627 Capital Investment Program Fund

[33:20] budgets passed by ordinance 2610.

[33:24] This item carries forward the remaining balance of previously approved

[33:28] CIP funding for projects that were not completed by the end of the prior fiscal year.

[33:34] This is a standard annual practice, used to ensure that previously authorized project funding

[33:40] remains available as projects continue into the new fiscal year.

[33:46] The funds were already approved in a prior year budget and are simply being rolled forward to the current year.

[33:53] This does not represent an increase to the project budgets.

[33:56] just a continuation of existing unspent funding for our ongoing projects.

[34:05] The Capital Investment Program Budget will be amended to increase expenditures from 8,833,000 to

[34:12] $24,974,112. Reflecting an increase of $16,141,112.

[34:24] The proposed motion is to approve 2619 on first reading to amend the 2627 capital investment program fund budget passed by ordinance 2610.

[34:36] Go to approve.

[34:38] Second.

[34:40] All right.

[34:41] Any comments on this?

[34:43] Good morning.

[34:46] It's a good day.

[34:46] I do.

[34:47] Nothing.

[34:48] Great.

[34:51] I spoke to staff the other day about this in particular.

[34:55] And today I asked for a consolidated CIP spreadsheet that more clearly delineated what's going on with this agenda item.

[35:05] And I asked if the laying this action would cause any problems to them and they said it wouldn't be a problem.

[35:15] They were also planning a workshop with the board to discuss the CIP moving forward.

[35:21] What projects were in progress and what were planned.

[35:27] And so it just seems that maybe the laying the boat on this might be prudent,

[35:33] although, you know, realistically it's not a really major item.

[35:43] What is the purpose of holding that on it?

[35:45] So these are approved items that we're just moving into the new budget.

[35:49] I guess what's they've already been approved their,

[35:52] what I guess what would the reason be to not vote for

[35:57] it?

[35:58] Well, I just wanted some clarity on it because the way it was worded in the agenda,

[36:02] you know, just I wanted to see how it worked out with the annual report list, how it was

[36:12] being amended so that it was one clear picture. But of course, they're working on that so it

[36:19] can be provided at a later time and this is just the first reading anyway.

[36:26] Thank you, Kelly.

[36:28] Yeah, so in the, in the paperwork here, there's a carry forward including 170,000, 743 dollars for the boring road, bid block, pedestrian crossing, 25,000 for boring roads, mid-road intersection improvements and then the 27 CIP separate list of $50,000 for boring road closure, absolutely just a big workshop on boring road, we have a big one going forward.

[36:51] just so it's cleared everybody, that's watching a listing.

[36:55] These balances that we're carrying forward,

[36:57] doesn't commit the board to a particular boring road design

[36:59] or a closure decision, those choices are separately.

[37:02] We're just preparing the money for things that may happen.

[37:05] That is correct.

[37:06] I just want to make sure that's out there.

[37:08] Also, in the title of the 26-19 mentions the American Rescue Plan Act

[37:14] fund, but its operative section addresses only the CIP.

[37:18] Is there a reference that we might be missing to that fund in there or is there something that we should be aware of?

[37:27] I'm sorry, where is that up?

[37:30] It is,

[37:35] in the actual ordinance, this is ordinance 2016-19 ordinance of the House of

[37:39] Target, investment program fund, and American Rescue Plan Act fund budgets.

[37:42] I got you, I see. I would say that would need to just be amended for a second, reading,

[37:47] because there is none for this. So we can amend that.

[37:52] Thank you.

[37:57] I can amend my motion, my original motion, upon removal of that line item.

[38:04] All right.

[38:08] All right. I don't have any questions.

[38:10] at this time, so roll call for vote, please.

[38:16] Aldermen Burnett?

[38:17] Yes.

[38:18] Aldermen Rufflow?

[38:19] Yes.

[38:21] Vice-Nair Wyberley?

[38:23] Yes.

[38:24] Mayor Cain?

[38:25] Yes.

[38:32] All right, so first reading, pending the proposed amendment

[38:38] to remove that section from the ordinance,

[38:41] we'll see you, and we'll do it for the second reading.

[38:43] All right, thank you.

[38:44] All right, moving on.

[38:46] We have second reading approval of Warden's 2016 on the second reading amending fiscal year

[38:53] 2627 capital investment program fund budget, which was also passed by Warden's 2016.

[39:00] The purpose of this item is to approve Warden's 2016 on the second reading, amending fiscal year

[39:07] 2627 capital investment program fund budget passed by Warden's 2016.

[39:12] The CIP budget will be amended by transferring 40,000 from the CIP available fund balance

[39:20] into the CIP expenditures for fiscal year 27.

[39:24] The ACIP expenditures will increase from $8,793,000 to $8,833,000 and increase a $40,000.

[39:35] The $40,000 will be added to the Everett Road Greenway Connector project due to the bid

[39:41] for the project coming in higher than originally budgeted. There was one change to

[39:46] ordinance 2016 since the first reading. It was to adjust section one to correct the ordinance

[39:53] number in fiscal year 2016. 27 capital investment program fund budget to properly refer

[39:59] sorry reflect ordinance 2016 instead of 2015. The proposed motion is to approve ordinance

[40:08] 26, 17 on second reading, amending the fiscal year, 26, 27, CIP budget in the amount of 40,000.

[40:18] The end of motion.

[40:20] Over to approve.

[40:22] Second.

[40:24] I'll remember that you have any, do we have any resident questions?

[40:28] I'll remember that you have questions.

[40:31] Vice Mayor?

[40:32] No questions.

[40:34] Yeah, quick question.

[40:38] The, um, before final passage,

[40:39] we confirm that the ordinance says fiscal year 2627 throughout and incorporate that section one

[40:45] correction and the ordinance copy here. This is fiscal year 2526 in the enactment clause.

[40:59] Questions are common to a roll cup?

[41:07] All to member net? Yes. All to member net? Yes.

[41:09] Yes. Vice mayor, why really? Yes. Mayor Cain. Yes.

[41:18] All right, next we have a resolution here.

[41:22] approval of Rev-Revel resolution are 2016 declaring certain town property to be surplus.

[41:32] The surplus property sale and disposal policy requires the finance director to submit the

[41:37] board of mayor to submit to the Board of Mayor and Audermann-Ellist of surplus property for approval.

[41:43] We have some items.

[41:47] The town will be advertising these items on govedeals.com,

[41:51] and I'm online government surplus auction site.

[41:54] This resolution approval will allow for the removal of these items

[41:58] from our fixed asset lists and advertise the sale of these items.

[42:03] This consists of a John D. or Mower.

[42:06] Three trailers into F-150 trucks.

[42:09] The proposed motion is to approve resolution 262616, a resolution declaring certain town property to be surplus property.

[42:21] I'm so approved.

[42:24] All right.

[42:25] Thank you.

[42:26] Any comments on this?

[42:28] Any comments from us?

[42:29] Good.

[42:29] Great.

[42:31] I got an email from the constituent that just asked the basis for determining surplus property.

[42:37] apparently he has a trailer that's 30 years old and work and just fine and he would just

[42:43] like that issue addressed.

[42:46] Of what determines how we determine our property a decent place?

[42:54] Do you want to address it?

[42:56] Do you want to help out?

[42:57] Yes, please.

[42:59] We get a lot of use set of arch trailers obviously and we take them all over the place and

[43:03] have to carry our heavy equipment everywhere.

[43:05] So these are useful life things, these are when they are worn out is when we replace the trailer or they're not properly

[43:11] Maybe safe based on road conditions things like that with all the things they need to do so they we we get the

[43:18] Most use we possibly can before we change something out

[43:26] any other comments

[43:27] Yeah, these items already been replaced

[43:29] You know, yes

[43:32] At least I believe the trailers have

[43:34] And when they go up on the Cove deals, how long is it until obviously we don't know when the sales will happen?

[43:41] Once the sale occurs, how long does it take before the town receives funds?

[43:46] You usually can set a deadline, so you leave the auction up for a week to two weeks.

[43:54] And then it sets that deadline for you.

[43:57] And once that happens, there's a certain amount of time that you can give before they give you that money.

[44:03] complete the sale. Okay, and do you know if any fees that might be involved with being on the site?

[44:08] fees for the site. Yeah. There are some fees. It's not terrible, but they do have some fees.

[44:15] Great. Thank you.

[44:17] All right. With that, just all in favor of approval.

[44:25] Say yes. Yes. Yes. Anybody opposed?

[44:31] All right. Moving on to the next business item.

[44:36] Approval of the Eliminated Street Signs, Percus and Installation.

[44:50] There are Chandler, Assistant Town Engineer.

[44:52] This item is part of the Fiscal Year 27 Capital Investment Program,

[44:57] and is Phase 2 of the Town's Eliminated Street.

[45:00] Line installation project. Phase 2 will add 36 lumines, street signs at 13 intersections throughout

[45:07] ferrogate, continuing the improvements made through Phase 1, and fiscal year 26. The signs

[45:13] of mounting hardware will be purchased through Tapco Omnia Cooperative Purchasing Contract at

[45:18] a cost of $134,000 in 35 cents. Installation will be completed by the town's on-call

[45:25] signal maintenance contractor, Stance Electric Company at a quoted cost of $7,000, $812,000.

[45:32] That's $2,217 per sign.

[45:36] So the total cost for materials and installation is $2,013,847, staff is requesting approval

[45:43] proceed with purchase and installation as presented.

[45:48] I have a motion.

[45:56] All right.

[45:57] Thank you.

[45:57] We have any resident comments?

[46:00] All right.

[46:00] I'm going to start with the comments here.

[46:03] I was looking at the map that's in the packet and I would like to ask if we could move

[46:10] two signs in phase two, is that an issue or they've already been nothing's been ordered.

[46:18] So if you look on Turkey Creek Road, you're right there on Parkside, I don't mean Turkey Creek.

[46:24] the far east end sign. I was wondering if maybe we'll get some input from everybody, but

[46:31] I was thinking if we move that one to phase three and instead move that proposal to phase two

[46:39] which would be at the entrance to the school on Kingston Pike. So relocate Turkey Creek

[46:46] and a part of the court to federal.

[46:52] It would be the one that's on.

[46:54] Bill of Congress, excuse me.

[46:56] Yeah, the ones on the far east of the part side.

[46:58] Far east one on the other side,

[47:00] which is, I think, rock, rock, rock is there.

[47:02] If we move that one to phase three

[47:04] and move it to village common,

[47:07] the entrance to village common.

[47:09] With the new school opening,

[47:11] we're gonna have people that may come in there,

[47:13] especially in the evenings for events and so on.

[47:16] And I just thought that that would really help, you know, the way finding and people coming

[47:22] to the news school.

[47:26] The rest of you guys, if you have any questions or comments about it, the free.

[47:29] You actually have a comment on free behavior.

[47:31] I think specifically that one.

[47:32] There's looks like there's three or four on that corridor on Parkside.

[47:36] Maybe even move in the second one, but keep in that first one because that is an entrance

[47:39] to town, the wayfinder first thing into 10 people would see that first.

[47:43] Move that second one out.

[47:45] I don't think we need three or four in a row on this,

[47:48] and this propulsive in this space, at least right now,

[47:50] movie the second or third one out.

[47:52] The situation is, it's whatever,

[47:55] I was looking at that, and I talked to David

[47:57] about earlier the week, and we could move one of those

[48:00] off a part side over to Village County.

[48:03] You know, keep the entrance to town ones

[48:04] that are there, that you have on the floor,

[48:06] and it's north of south east, west.

[48:08] You're the wayfinder science, and then move the second one,

[48:11] or third one, to kind of recondent having three in a row

[48:14] and this phase, it seems like actually looks like four.

[48:18] It's four or two.

[48:21] Other than that, I'm like,

[48:22] I'm good with the whole thing, so anybody else?

[48:25] Yeah, actually, I had a quick question for you.

[48:27] What have we learned about from phase one

[48:29] about the visibility and maintenance?

[48:31] I mean, we go through this budget,

[48:34] to believe us, about $6,000 or so left targeted for this.

[48:39] What about recurring power or maintenance costs

[48:42] that we should expect from these additional signs?

[48:44] It's very very low cost. Yeah, there's and there's very little maintenance to it

[48:50] I can't remember what the warranty is up up on my head, but I believe it's either five or ten years for the like a illuminated portion

[48:57] But as far as overall maintenance, there's virtually none. We've not had to do anything with the ones that have been out

[49:04] thus far

[49:06] All right. Thank you

[49:21] By the roundabout on common word road

[49:27] Or we'll talk about the ferrogate sign, the entrance sign, that is in the right of way in ferrogate.

[49:33] That's correct.

[49:34] On the left side, going towards the roundabout on Concord.

[49:38] However, going's north.

[49:40] Yeah, towards the roundabout.

[49:42] That sign is in the right of way.

[49:44] It's not on right, but it's not in the town of ferrogate, right?

[49:49] It is. So the right of way along Concord Road is in the town of ferrogate, but that property that you're referencing is not in the town of ferrogate.

[49:56] that's correct. Yeah, that's exactly correct.

[49:59] It's just, it's really confused. I mean, seriously, because how many people have asked me,

[50:05] what are y'all letting up build over here at all of this property, and I'm like, well, that's

[50:10] not down at fair again. Well, the fair gets signs right there, so, right? That's really confusing.

[50:14] I hope we don't have any where we straddle property like that, because I think it's super confusing.

[50:20] In terms of Turkey Creek, I view Turkey Creek is leave it alone. Turkey Creek is Turkey Creek.

[50:25] It's like it's on city and I just there's no difference in the West I mean really there's no difference in the West

[50:32] Half a turkey Creek and the East Half a turkey Creek

[50:35] You know it's just all turkey Creek that designed it the way it is to look good and have things flow together

[50:41] So that's where I love the fact that we're

[50:45] Delenating town entry points and letting people know and you come under the train tracks

[50:50] Boom, the first thing you see is fair good side. I like those in all our areas. I just turkey creaked and same like

[50:58] Just kind of gets lost in the noise in my opinion. Otherwise, I love the size.

[51:10] All right

[51:13] With that

[51:14] I just need a voice

[51:16] voice vote for this. Those in favor say is yes

[51:21] Yes, you decided if you're moving one

[51:23] well

[51:24] so

[51:25] So there's nothing, he said nothing had been ordered yet, so to me.

[51:31] I guess at this point is the map, Tom, we have to change the motion, because the map

[51:39] that was presented has an uncertain place for phase two.

[51:46] Is the map attached to the motion?

[51:53] The motion is just to prove.

[51:54] I don't think, it sounds to me like what you're doing as you're approving the purchase

[51:59] of the signs based on the pricing that he's described in that where those signs will go hasn't

[52:07] in fixed year, right?

[52:09] And we would likely have to obtain a new quote because the signs pricing is tied to the

[52:15] street names themselves because the length of the names.

[52:23] So are you trying to make sure I'm clear on this?

[52:28] on Parkside.

[52:30] When you say leave it alone, are you saying don't have any on park side at all or have just one at Red Robin and take out the other three heading towards Campbell station?

[52:44] My parents

[52:52] cars. Just doesn't seem like a place to showcase an expensive nice sign like it is in my opinion.

[53:05] But that's, so I just want to make sure I'm clear that's an opinion and what we need to do is make sure we're doing the right thing what the board wants us to.

[53:14] So what this motion is to basically approve the quoted price of all the ones that Eric has mentioned and it's up on the screen before you have a hundred and thirty four thousand and thirty five dollars.

[53:26] Now, we can go and get other quotes and we can change some of these things around the main thing would be is if the board approves

[53:34] 134,000 and 35 dollars, we're not going to go over that amount for the allocation, so we can we can move some of these things around as long as we get quotes back

[53:42] Let's say this is what that cost is going to be.

[54:05] No, I agree with you.

[54:06] I think there's a redundancy of how I consider earlier having four in a row there.

[54:10] I think having it at the way finding point is probably prudent,

[54:14] but other than that, I don't think we need

[54:15] three or four more on Parkside.

[54:16] So if we can, maybe the crisis from 30, six or whatever

[54:20] is down to 32, we spend less money,

[54:23] where we allocate those to somewhere else, great.

[54:26] But I don't, I don't, at this point, I don't think

[54:28] we need three in a row at this phase.

[54:30] If we need four, we put them in phase three or four, are you?

[54:34] So how much are they roughly per side?

[54:44] So, like Parkside Drive,

[54:50] they are 1,775 sign for the Parkside Drive ones.

[54:57] If there's not a side street, obviously there's no side street sign, but like Lake

[55:02] Edge would have one for Lake Edge, and they are mounted on the face of the mast arm.

[55:09] So, they're not double-sided, they're single-sided,

[55:16] but both lexage and Parkside are

[55:19] 1,775 apiece,

[55:35] the other phase 2 that are down a lot, is there one of Kingston Pike

[55:39] just for comparison of price to the Parkside ones, if you look, it's a hard to see the streets there,

[55:52] is that sniff?

[55:52] Are

[55:57] you asking about face one or face what went into in face one or yeah, so

[56:06] So north-watt road in south-watt road. It's a it's a stack sign so that that one's actually a little bit more. It's 1,995

[56:19] per

[56:20] person and it's, you know, in one direction, it's one way and the other, it's split.

[56:25] Okay. So I don't think it's going to, it may not address the price much if we move

[56:30] them. It sounds like, because if we're moving one off a parkside to Kingston Pike and it's

[56:36] the same shape. Yeah, I think, I think that they can be moved without impact, definitely staying

[56:43] under the budgeted amount for the overall project.

[56:48] The main thing, I guess, would be,

[56:51] if you start adding more signs,

[56:53] they're also, it's the $2,217 per sign to install them.

[57:00] I would have to be considered as well.

[57:03] So I don't think we're any of us here wanting to add more

[57:06] in this phase.

[57:07] I think we just want to move them around to get

[57:09] better visibility for the town in this phase.

[57:12] I think that's our biggest thing, so.

[57:15] American, could we, if it's okay with the board, maybe to clarify for us to, if you want

[57:21] to do a men your motion to take out the, the four that are planned on, perks I drive, that

[57:27] would be those four units, and then we can move whatever money is available to another area

[57:32] of town, whether you want to do Campbell Station Road, and there's three planned next year

[57:36] for those.

[57:37] We could allocate those, or we could move down a Kingston Pike, and we can do as many as

[57:41] with the money that are allocated.

[57:44] I think we want to look at that.

[57:49] And just move them to those areas.

[57:51] I think they get more visibility.

[57:58] So I would say move three of the four off of Parkside.

[58:02] And then take those three and let's find a spot for them on.

[58:06] Kingston Pike and Gamestation.

[58:10] So in the three you're specifically referring to

[58:14] Not the one that's at the red robin leave it, leave it because that is a very, not a

[58:20] city of Oxford border and then, and then take those other three and let's find

[58:23] a spot for it.

[58:30] So, America, we have an amended motion in second just to say that exact things that we're

[58:34] clear.

[58:35] So, I'll need a motion to amend the original motion that we're going to move three of the

[58:40] from Parkside Drive to the Kingston Piker

[58:45] Campbell Station corridor in this phase.

[58:49] Motion to amend the current motion to exactly what Alex

[58:53] did said.

[58:56] Get a second.

[58:58] Second.

[59:00] All those in favor?

[59:03] Aye.

[59:04] Opposed?

[59:07] Thank you.

[59:07] All right.

[59:08] Next is an approval of Team Georgia 1.

[59:11] to contact 26-24 South Monochello Road Culverch.

[59:20] I'll be presenting this one as well.

[59:23] This project was awarded to Adams contracting in May of 2026,

[59:27] and involves replacing and existing 42-inch corrugated metal pipe

[59:31] with reinforced concrete pipe along with improvements to the associated

[59:34] drainage structures near 11619 South Monochello Road.

[59:39] After construction, began utility conflicts were discovered.

[59:43] The utilities had not been identified during the original design survey,

[59:47] which required revisions to the design.

[59:50] The final billable plans call for a straight headwall in place

[59:53] of the original specified Utah headwall along with modifications

[59:58] of the upstream catch basin.

[1:00:00] Additional grading and equipment, construction time, Adams contracting, has submitted a change order request in the amount of $49,908 and $5 cents to complete this work.

[1:00:10] If approved, the contractor can proceed with ordering the pre-cast straight headwall, which has an estimated four-week lead time.

[1:00:19] The town is also working with Canon and Canon on an agreement for reimbursement of $16,076 and 37 cents related to phase 1 of the additional work in the change

[1:00:29] order, resulting from the design issue, this includes cost materials that were ordered, but

[1:00:36] are no longer needed due to the plan revisions.

[1:00:39] The reimbursement would offset a portion of the change order costs and allow the project

[1:00:44] to proceed based on the revised constructible plans.

[1:00:49] Approval of the change order would increase the overall contract amount from $139,767 to $189,600.

[1:00:59] in the $75 staff recommends approval of Change Order 1 to contract 2026-24 in the amount of $49,900

[1:01:10] and $98 in five cents.

[1:01:18] Can you do the second?

[1:01:23] Any resin comments?

[1:01:25] All the good for Nick?

[1:01:29] Nice, Mayor.

[1:01:30] Yes, sir. I'm just curious on the unmark utility part.

[1:01:34] I know when I've called Tennessee one,

[1:01:36] And before I get a list of utilities that they contact and can verify that those markings

[1:01:41] have been made, what happened in this instance for things weren't identified.

[1:01:50] It was an oversight on the design survey team.

[1:01:55] They mistakenly made the assumption that the cross-trained was a straight removal replacement

[1:02:04] And if no conflict's existed at the time, that there would be no conflicts for the replacement.

[1:02:13] It's an error that, that, I frankly, I don't foresee ever happening again.

[1:02:20] It's not something that we kind of expected to see.

[1:02:23] But if there are any questions, you know, directed towards Canon and Canon,

[1:02:28] we do have, that's our design consultant.

[1:02:30] And they do have a representative here as well, just if you had any questions for them as well.

[1:02:37] But you know, ultimately it was just an oversight on their part.

[1:02:44] So that's kind of what led to this.

[1:02:49] Well, in my experience with my subcontractors don't perform like they're supposed to, that

[1:02:54] hold them accountable, I know that Canon and Canon is paying for the original headwall

[1:03:02] correct.

[1:03:03] That's correct.

[1:03:04] But there's any other compensation involved for that oversight, what's your thoughts

[1:03:09] on that?

[1:03:10] That's so phase one is the portion of the change order related to removing what has already been

[1:03:18] installed and getting it prepared for the new headwall.

[1:03:21] They have, that's what it's the agreement that we're currently working on them with to cover.

[1:03:28] That's the $16,760 and $37 cent portion of the $49,908 change order.

[1:03:38] So that was the, the conversation that we've had at this point with them is get it to the point where

[1:03:47] the what's been installed will be removed and get it back to build a

[1:03:52] full state.

[1:03:59] I apologize for the redundancy on some of the questions but are all

[1:04:02] the utilities are now verified against the final buildable plant? Absolutely. Yes.

[1:04:08] Do we know what the revised completion date is that including the four week

[1:04:12] headwall at the time? I don't have an exact date on that. Ideally four weeks is

[1:04:18] there kind of conservative estimate. Hopefully it comes in sooner than that. The

[1:04:22] completion date. They're requesting, Adams is requesting 30 days from when they get that headwall in,

[1:04:29] and I believe they've got five days to install if I'm not mistaken. So it could be quicker

[1:04:38] than that. And certainly they could have the road open back up sooner than the full 30 days.

[1:04:45] That's to get all of the headwall work plus the original contract work that was contracted prior

[1:04:52] completed. So in a minute I'm a little more than two months have started today, basically.

[1:04:56] Third, four week had a wall time and a 30 day installation, plus a five day, yes.

[1:05:01] And then what is the talents expected in that cost after consultancy reimbursement, including

[1:05:05] whether we're going to be trying to recover additional money being pursued. Do we have that?

[1:05:11] Do we know? It would be the $189,675. And five cents minus the $16,076.37.

[1:05:21] and that that's what we've discussed with them at this time.

[1:05:25] Thank you, but.

[1:05:31] All in favor of the motion.

[1:05:34] All right, height.

[1:05:35] Post.

[1:05:39] All right, thank you, Eric.

[1:05:40] All right, next is the approval of a special event

[1:05:42] for St. John Newman Catholic Church,

[1:05:44] Mustang Miler 5K on Saturday, October 17th, 2020.

[1:05:51] Good evening, I'm Mark Shipley.

[1:05:53] I present this item.

[1:05:55] This is a special event for 5K

[1:05:57] associated with the St. John Newman fall festival, which is actually two days. This particular

[1:06:05] 5K is on Saturday, October 17th from 8 to 11. There's a map of this, but the start and

[1:06:15] finish is at the school church property there off of St. John Court. They'll be using the

[1:06:22] be chapel green, you can see on the screen and it'll be going basically all the way to the east

[1:06:29] end of the green way, turning around, coming back to the school for the 5k. This is the same

[1:06:38] course that they've used the previous couple of years. They will have officers stationed at the major

[1:06:43] road crossings of the Greenway.

[1:06:46] They're anticipating to have approximately 75 adults and maybe 50 children,

[1:06:53] participate in this event.

[1:06:55] This event did go to our event committee,

[1:06:59] for review and approval on September 8th,

[1:07:01] and the committee did recommend approval

[1:07:03] of the special event subject to the board's approval.

[1:07:10] Thank you, Mark.

[1:07:13] Any residents?

[1:07:14] Any comments from the board?

[1:07:18] Actually, the question.

[1:07:20] You mentioned officers are going to be, you know, the major crossings, are we going

[1:07:23] to be able to notify other greenway users at some point at a time?

[1:07:28] I'm not sure, Patrick.

[1:07:31] We all done that before.

[1:07:46] There is, if there's a greenery markers to say, hey, this state is going on.

[1:07:51] You could probably put something that's a trail here there to park and ride for sure.

[1:08:00] That's where a lot of obviously people do enter there because there's park in there for that.

[1:08:06] That'd be great. Thanks.

[1:08:38] All in favour?

[1:08:40] Yes.

[1:08:41] Motion to approve.

[1:08:42] Oh, excuse me.

[1:08:43] I'm sorry about that. I thought I got you.

[1:08:47] I thought we did that.

[1:08:48] Motion to approve.

[1:08:49] Second. Second.

[1:08:51] All right. All right.

[1:08:52] All right. All right.

[1:08:56] All right. And finally.

[1:08:58] Approval of contract 27 dash of three

[1:09:01] Construction of the Everett Road Green Lake

[1:09:03] Connector.

[1:09:08] This project is it includes 520

[1:09:11] Linear Feed of Concrete Sidewall

[1:09:13] and curb and gutter to connect two greenways

[1:09:18] over along the western side of Everett Road.

[1:09:21] I believe there's a map, David.

[1:09:24] There it is.

[1:09:27] Connects the greenway at the back of Split Rail Farm

[1:09:31] with a greenway at the back of Fox Run subdivision.

[1:09:36] We've wanted to do this for a long time,

[1:09:38] so we're finally doing it.

[1:09:40] We received six beds on August 25th, the beds were progressively higher from $174,874 to $331,422.

[1:09:58] The low bed was from Wailey Construction LLC with the 174,874,

[1:10:05] and so staff recommends approval of the award of contract 2027-03, construction of

[1:10:12] Greenway Connector to Wailey Construction LLC, for their low bit of 174,870.

[1:10:24] All right, thank you.

[1:10:26] And we have used Wailey in the past, haven't we?

[1:10:29] We have used Wailey several times in the past.

[1:10:31] We've always been pleased with their work.

[1:10:33] Any resident comments from the board?

[1:10:38] Yeah, they're all this contract to provide a complete usable connection between Fox1 and

[1:10:44] SplitRale.

[1:10:45] Yes.

[1:10:47] Are there any known utility or drainage issues outside of the Bitsco?

[1:10:50] There is a KUB gas line that is in the ditch along that side of every road.

[1:10:59] We've talked with KUB, they don't feel like they're going to be in the way.

[1:11:03] So this will be bridging over the ditch.

[1:11:06] Okay. And what would be the expected construction schedule?

[1:11:11] Oh, I didn't look that out before. I'm sorry.

[1:11:14] It should be pretty quick.

[1:11:18] I'm afraid to say, I'll let you know.

[1:11:21] Do we disfaint lane closures while this is going on?

[1:11:24] There will surely be lane closures along the way that we use in flaggers.

[1:11:30] Cool. Thank you. All right, many of you. All right.

[1:11:38] Those in favor?

[1:11:43] Opposed?

[1:11:45] Compassations, there you go.

[1:11:47] All right, thank you, Darrell.

[1:11:48] All right, next should be the time of the stage report.

[1:11:51] Mayor, thank you.

[1:11:52] We've got two things to report tonight.

[1:11:54] One is we've got an upcoming Fareget Fall Trail.

[1:11:57] This is our third year of the annual Fareget Fall Trail,

[1:12:00] which is a passport, style, adventure,

[1:12:02] encouraging visitors to visit our local shops,

[1:12:05] to sit, shop, and explore everything we love about the fall.

[1:12:08] Trail is going to be open from October 1st to the 16th,

[1:12:11] and you can go to the Visit Fareget website,

[1:12:12] to sign up and participate.

[1:12:15] And next we've got a fair-get after-dark,

[1:12:17] which is set up for Saturday October 10th

[1:12:19] at Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza.

[1:12:21] There'll be a free outdoor movie,

[1:12:23] Hotel Transylvania,

[1:12:24] with Fall and Halloween Crafts for all ages.

[1:12:27] Crafts begin at 6 p.m.

[1:12:28] until the movie starts at 7 p.m.

[1:12:31] And with that, that's all I have to report.

[1:12:33] Let's do any questions.

[1:12:37] All right, thank you, David, and Mr. Hail.

[1:12:40] No report tonight.

[1:12:42] Hey, Alex, before.

[1:12:44] Are we doing the common sense?

[1:12:50] I apologize.

[1:12:53] One last thing, Mayor, I apologize as we got the last time we had some technical difficulties.

[1:12:57] So, we wanted to bring back and talk to you about upcoming things that we're working on with a company called Common Sense.

[1:13:05] We're going to ask the Admiral campaign.

[1:13:08] So, Travis is going to walk you through that Travis Ramsey RIT director.

[1:13:11] I'm going to hang out with Joey for a few minutes down here and let him have my seat.

[1:13:15] All right, thank you, Travis.

[1:13:18] All right, good evening, boards.

[1:13:21] Let me pull this up real quick.

[1:13:24] All right, so right now we're in a test environment,

[1:13:27] but this is just a showcase to the new chat

[1:13:29] about that we've been working on for quite a few months

[1:13:32] and we're trying to go live with it very soon.

[1:13:34] And so basically, it's called Ask the Amroll.

[1:13:37] It's got a not so caricature of the Amroll.

[1:13:40] And it's basically welcome to the town of Heraget.

[1:13:41] How can I help you?

[1:13:43] And so this first one, we'll just ask

[1:13:44] a random question of how tall can my grass be

[1:13:48] before it's a co-valletion?

[1:13:58] And basically what it does, it goes and searches our website,

[1:14:02] our document library, our YouTube page,

[1:14:05] our agenda management software, and even municode.

[1:14:14] If it's listed in our information.

[1:14:18] So as you can see, it tastes a little minute

[1:14:20] because it searches all the data.

[1:14:22] Can I see it, 12 inches in height?

[1:14:25] Who are coded?

[1:14:27] Do we ask the chicken one?

[1:14:29] Okay.

[1:14:30] So what is actually, I

[1:14:44] can't talk to no.

[1:14:53] Now if the information is on our website or any of the information that will not show up,

[1:14:57] just let it write no.

[1:14:58] So you can't just ask it like a...

[1:15:00] Like a not joke or anything, it would not respond to you. So you can't ask how awesome is all of them in Ruffalo to give you no answer in that one.

[1:15:07] We tried that with Michelle and it didn't show anything.

[1:15:09] I'm surprised.

[1:15:13] There's your information.

[1:15:17] We'll see me if they click on the link that's a provided.

[1:15:19] Yes, it'll pull up the ordinance, or pull up whatever, whatever that was discussed. That's great.

[1:15:25] I'll take it to the Unicob.

[1:15:27] No, it's just like another fun one. I'll just pull this one.

[1:15:32] Like a type, when was Alderman, Burnett,

[1:15:39] torn in?

[1:15:42] Do you remember that, Drew?

[1:15:51] Let's sew.

[1:15:52] On top of our 11th, 2018.

[1:15:54] And what's neat about this, if it will pop up,

[1:15:58] as you can click on this VOMA button.

[1:15:59] And that again, VOMA stands for YouTube.

[1:16:01] That's the easiest way to describe it.

[1:16:03] You can click on this link.

[1:16:04] And it will pull up YouTube.

[1:16:08] of the NL start plan where roughly one has happened.

[1:16:13] That actually happens around the two minute mark.

[1:16:15] But we're pretty close.

[1:16:15] Business will be the oath of office for Drew Burnett.

[1:16:26] That's

[1:16:28] right.

[1:16:32] So the plan is to go live tomorrow.

[1:16:34] Now that we have this tool up and going, we are in a pilot program.

[1:16:39] So AI is constantly learning how our data is and how we input data.

[1:16:44] So be patient with it, but it's going to get better as time goes.

[1:16:46] as AR, continue to develop.

[1:16:51] All right, thank you Travis.

[1:16:52] Travis, question for you on this.

[1:16:53] This is our closed loop system.

[1:16:56] Yes.

[1:16:57] So this, the data that it pulls is only the data that we have.

[1:17:01] So nobody in the world can input any data unless it's

[1:17:04] in the music code, our website, documents, or anything,

[1:17:07] like the only what we put in that we manage.

[1:17:10] So that's great.

[1:17:20] Oh, you got to comment?

[1:17:22] And I just kind of want to update on the executive session, apparently there was a second request for one.

[1:17:34] No, by Zass me for one.

[1:17:40] David, it's somehow an email that there had been a development in one of the lawsuits,

[1:17:46] and then an executive session was requested.

[1:17:56] borrow Alderman Ruffalo's mic here space.

[1:18:00] That's on a case that Mr. Hale is conflicted out of.

[1:18:07] And discussing that matter, Alderman, why really I think it's

[1:18:11] prudent that we have our fifth Alderman in place.

[1:18:13] Hopefully, before we can get together that way,

[1:18:16] he can talk at one time our attorney in that case

[1:18:18] and bring that forward and get you updated

[1:18:20] and up to speed on what's going on there.

[1:18:26] Alright, with that, it's 717, meeting is adjourned.
