Um if you 381 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,200 recall, we went to bid um last year for 382 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,400 the public works building when we 383 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,960 thought that it was going to come in at 384 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,039 five or six million $6 million. the bids 385 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,480 came in significantly more than that. 386 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:52,720 It's caused us to go back and um revise 387 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,240 uh the drawings with the eye towards 388 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:59,280 rebidding and hoping to get a better 389 00:21:54,240 --> 00:22:01,280 price. Um but as uh we go through that 390 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,919 process, we recognize that that while we 391 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,600 may not get to, you know, the nine or 392 00:22:03,919 --> 00:22:06,960 $10 million that we were looking at 393 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,600 before, we're going to end up somewhere 394 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,280 in the middle. So, that's going to make 395 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,799 us have to make or you have to make some 396 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,360 tough decisions about how much of our 397 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:18,640 reserves we spend. We don't have any 398 00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:21,600 debt in the township, which is a real uh 399 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,840 oddity uh in today's uh local government 400 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,360 scene. So, um we're probably going to 401 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,200 have to take on debt for the first time, 402 00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:30,400 and that may necessitate some increased 403 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:33,600 tax revenue. Um so, just out out of an 404 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,200 abundance of caution and transparency, 405 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,799 last month we had a report on the old 406 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,480 building. This month I'm gonna ask Devin 407 00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:40,320 to get up now and give a little report 408 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,720 on what the new facility looks like and 409 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,600 how it differs from the old design. And 410 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,840 next month we'll do uh a little 411 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:51,840 discussion about uh the financing side 412 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:54,320 of things. Um a lot of times uh we go 413 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,880 through this process and folks come in, 414 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,559 you know, when in January or February or 415 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,840 budget time and and say that they didn't 416 00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:01,280 have a chance to weigh in, that they 417 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,880 hadn't heard anything about this, that 418 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,799 we weren't transparent. not not really 419 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,559 us, but I mean that's the local I mean 420 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,840 that's the that's the typical criticism 421 00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:10,000 of local government. So I want to make 422 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,159 sure although this gets a little tedious 423 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,559 that we give everyone a chance to both 424 00:23:12,159 --> 00:23:16,720 online or in person uh learn about what 425 00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:19,840 we're doing and why uh to weigh in as 426 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:22,080 part of the process um so that we make 427 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:25,280 uh a good decision um with as much 428 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,720 public input input as possible. So if 429 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,080 you would 430 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,280 » Great uh thank you. So um just to start 431 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,880 off here I want to do a little bit of 432 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,200 background uh on the next slide about 433 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,919 how we got to this point. So uh just a 434 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,440 comparison here uh 1990s versus today 435 00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:43,120 when when the public works building that 436 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:46,320 exists today uh was built um uh we had 437 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:48,720 approximately 40 mi of roadway um and 438 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,360 Gable Park, Wedgewood, Benton Lane uh 439 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:54,480 were just new uh or being built uh 440 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:55,760 neighborhoods. Um uh parks were just 441 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,520 starting to be added to the township. 442 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,760 the township didn't even didn't even own 443 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,360 parks back then. Maybe Window Landing in 444 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,960 the '90s was just new with that 445 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:05,679 development, but even Hamilton Park at 446 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,480 that time was privately owned um by the 447 00:24:05,679 --> 00:24:09,600 the Hamilton Plug Park Club, I think is 448 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,600 what was called. 449 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,000 » Um and Community Park didn't didn't even 450 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,000 exist yet. Um it was a farm to my 451 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,400 knowledge back then. And also the MS4 452 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,600 storm water requirements um were were 453 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:24,000 not in existence. Um we now have over 50 454 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:27,760 mi of local road uh five parks with over 455 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,880 100 acres to manage. uh MS4 uh is up and 456 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,880 running and a lot of what we do is based 457 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,000 around that with storm water concerns uh 458 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:38,080 today. Uh not to mention about a 50% 459 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,880 population increase since n since the 460 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,960 early 1990s. Um and we've highlighted 461 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,720 some of those roads and uh in color 462 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,400 there you can see that not the state 463 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,480 roads in blue, but the reds and yellows 464 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,720 were roads that weren't weren't here 465 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,600 were just recently developing uh when 466 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:58,080 this the current building was was built. 467 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:59,840 Um um so just a little example uh of how 468 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,279 that's impacted storage. So just remind 469 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,000 you of that photo and how that 470 00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:05,760 complicates things. Um so just just 471 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,240 taking in mind here with the size of 472 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:11,279 that building and how that looks um when 473 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,200 we go through the next slide here. Um so 474 00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:15,279 so this is the design for the new 475 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,720 building. Um and the current building 476 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:21,120 sits in approximately a quarter of this. 477 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,720 So, that tells you the the the the much 478 00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:27,760 needed space that we'll be able to 479 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:30,400 create. Um uh to uh have uh additional 480 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,480 storage, uh the ability to to to get 481 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,520 vehicles in and out without moving 30 482 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,200 pieces out to get one piece. Um not to 483 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,720 mention just the just the overall safety 484 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,880 of being able to move around freely 485 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,440 without tripping over a trailer hitch or 486 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,799 or or what um whatever may be sticking 487 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,000 out of the back of a truck after a 488 00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:50,400 workday. Um, in addition to that, we'll 489 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,640 have a a separate wash bay, uh, which 490 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,360 will allow us to to wash vehicles and 491 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,919 not get everything else musty and dirty. 492 00:25:55,360 --> 00:26:00,000 Uh, and a mechanics bay, which will will 493 00:25:57,919 --> 00:26:04,320 be separated from the the maintenance 494 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:08,880 storage area. Um, we'll have uh have 495 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:10,880 completely separated the the lunchroom 496 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,200 areas, the break room areas, all of 497 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,400 those things, the offices from the 498 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,760 maintenance space, which as most people 499 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,240 know tend to be a little bit more 500 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,480 dirtier uh with some positive air uh 501 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,840 which would would uh negative would 502 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,279 decrease the amount of dust and dirt 503 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,679 that you see in the office spaces and 504 00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:30,240 lunchrooms. And then above that uh which 505 00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:33,279 you can see at the top there is the 506 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,720 mezzanine which would be the 507 00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:36,320 I don't even know how how much more 508 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,799 space it would be. It'll be all of the 509 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,720 dry storage that we have for filters and 510 00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:42,640 recycle bins and all those things that 511 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,559 we just currently have stocked in 512 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,520 storage containers here and there and 513 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:49,520 everywhere else. Um 514 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:54,159 and then u and then this is the 515 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:55,919 oversight plan. Um uh we did um 516 00:26:54,159 --> 00:26:58,720 we had Bill had mention about changing 517 00:26:55,919 --> 00:27:00,400 the the scope of this. Uh we did go 518 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,000 through and and make some changes to 519 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,559 this. So, the original building layout 520 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,360 plan did have uh an excessive overhead 521 00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:09,679 crane throughout it for for mounting 522 00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:11,840 plows and all of those things. Uh we've 523 00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:12,880 completely uh removed that through the 524 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,720 majority of the building with the 525 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,880 exception of the maintenance uh area 526 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,120 where we can use that to to put the 527 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,480 plows and salt spreaders on um and not 528 00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:22,480 need to have that throughout the entire 529 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,360 building which is which was a 530 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:28,320 substantial cost. Um and in addition to 531 00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:30,159 that by removing the back place uh the 532 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,880 place where the red circle is um which 533 00:27:30,159 --> 00:27:36,080 would uh be additional outdoor storage 534 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:38,400 and um some vehicle storage for the 535 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,640 police uh which had an excessive amount 536 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,120 of rock removals to be uh to be done 537 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,640 there. Uh by removing that we saved a 538 00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:48,000 lot of money as well and then we we 539 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,360 would move those things off site. Um so 540 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,720 just a couple of things that we looked 541 00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:54,240 at um that substantially decreased the 542 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,760 cost. Um there were there were 543 00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:00,000 oversightes when we talked to the 544 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:02,399 designers originally. So um so we we 545 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,159 anticipate these changes to save the 546 00:28:02,399 --> 00:28:08,080 project about 1.3 to 1.5 million um and 547 00:28:06,159 --> 00:28:11,919 uh bring the total project cost down to 548 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:13,679 about 7.8 million to to 8 million. Um uh 549 00:28:11,919 --> 00:28:15,600 like Bill has mentioned before the last 550 00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:18,720 the lowest bids with the last round was 551 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,440 about $9.3 million. So, we're hoping 552 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:24,559 that these savings, uh, these reductions 553 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:29,080 can help save the project overall. 554 00:28:24,559 --> 00:28:29,080 So, uh, any questions? 555 00:28:30,399 --> 00:28:31,360 » Great. 556 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,360 » Thank you. 557 00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:34,360 » Thanks. 558 00:28:47,679 --> 00:28:52,799 Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, 7 p.m. 559 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:56,320 Planning Commission meeting here at 560 00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:58,799 12:40 Maple A.
