[8:59] Yeah, I'm with Advisors. It's nice to
[9:01] meet everybody. I'm going to give you a

[9:08] Advisor is a multi-disiplinary
[9:10] engineering firm. Our mission is
[9:12] advancing communities and our niche is

[9:17] funding working with the administration
[9:20] and the capital improvement plan
[9:21] marrying the two so we can expand
[9:30] a firm over 800 right now. We have
[9:32] experts in all kinds of fields. I would
[9:35] be your main point of contact. But we
[9:36] have traffic people, bridges, parks,
[9:38] planning, corridor studies, you name it.
[9:40] Anything municipal related
[9:41] infrastructure, we have expert
[9:46] help.

[10:24] an evaluation committee of of city staff
[10:27] and they they certainly came out on top
[10:29] and we're looking forward to working
[10:31] with them. And I personally have a lot
[10:33] of experience with
[10:35] zoning.
[10:38] Any way I can help, just give us a call.
[10:40] >> Perfect.
[10:42] >> Thank you.
[10:42] very much.
[10:46] » Okay. Next up is ordinance number 26-31
[10:50] >> being an ordinance amending part 11,
[10:52] planning and zoning of the codified
[10:53] ordinances of the city of Lewisville.

[10:58] ordinance 26-31 to the table for its
[11:01] second reading.
[11:03] >> Second.
[11:04] >> Mayor, this is the ordinance second

[11:23] comments, concerns? I don't think so.

[11:29] >> Street.

[11:32] >> Mallister Atkins,
[11:33] >> yes.
[11:35] >> Okay, let's move to ordinance number
[11:38] 26-33.
[11:40] >> Seeing an ordinance authorizing and
[11:42] directing the finance director to
[11:44] execute a contract with regional council
[11:46] of governments for the purpose of
[11:48] administration and collection of
[11:49] municipal income tax in the city of
[11:51] Lewisville. I'll make a motion that we
[11:53] bring ordinance 2633 to the table for
[11:56] its second reading by emergency.
[11:59] >> Second.
[12:01] >> Uh, mayor, this is the ordinance that
[12:03] will allow us to transition the
[12:05] administration of our income tax to the
[12:09] Rita program.
[12:11] >> And you had indicated that it's a
[12:13] contract or a timelines though. Why do
[12:15] we have the emergency requested?
[12:17] >> Correct. the the emergency is to meet
[12:18] their their timeline so that this can be
[12:20] implemented by 2027,
[12:23] >> right? Yeah. We wanted to get it
[12:24] implemented as soon as possible so that
[12:25] we have a little bit of overlap with
[12:27] Rita coming on before Lori retires to
[12:30] kind of help, you know, ease that that
[12:33] hump a little bit. And um they can't
[12:36] start doing some of their their data
[12:38] extractions to make sure everything is
[12:40] ready to go and and balances are whole
[12:42] until uh the agreement is signed.
[12:44] agreement can't be signed until this
[12:46] goes into
[12:48] >> Okay.
[12:50] >> And again, Rita, a lot of local
[12:51] communities use it. It'll we'll see a
[12:54] cost savings. Um
[12:55] >> yeah, that that's really that's really
[12:57] what this comes down to for me. Um we'll
[12:59] still have Teresa with us as we
[13:01] discussed before. So people can still
[13:02] come into city hall and get that that
[13:04] personal service. Uh if they want it
[13:06] face to face, they can also do that
[13:08] through Rita. They can call Rita.
[13:11] This will give them, you know, online
[13:13] filing, a more streamlined online
[13:15] payment and payment plan structure. Rita
[13:19] does a really good job keeping all of
[13:20] their uh technology up to date, things
[13:23] like that, improving all the time. So,
[13:25] it'll really keep us on sort of the the
[13:26] cutting edge and all that at a a cost to
[13:29] the taxpayers that is less than what it
[13:32] costs to replace that position.
[13:34] >> Great. Thank you. Well, again, Matt, we
[13:37] certainly appreciate you having
[13:39] experience with this coming from Ripman
[13:40] where you certainly had that installed
[13:42] there. Yeah. Yeah, it does help.
[13:45] >> Okay, let's go ahead and vote.
[13:47] >> Street,

[14:32] >> Second.
[14:34] All right, mayor. This uh amends the
[14:36] final plot to Orchard Park Town Homes
[14:38] number two. This is uh the area or the
[14:41] town homes that are located just north
[14:43] of Peach Avenue. Uh and really the
[14:46] difference is that the current builder,
[14:48] Dr. Horton, intends to build slightly
[14:51] smaller town homes than what was
[14:53] originally planned by K. Hovanian Homes.
[14:56] That's the difference or what the
[14:57] amendment is about.
[14:59] >> We're asking for it by emergency. Well,
[15:00] the the developer asked for it by
[15:02] emergency and we're asking for it by
[15:04] emergency. It's well understood what the
[15:06] need for housing in Stark County is. Uh
[15:08] so we're hoping not to delay the
[15:10] amendment so that we can get started on
[15:11] the construction or they can get started
[15:14] on the construction of those homes.
[15:16] >> And it's still single family. It's still
[15:18] owner occupied.
[15:19] >> Yes.
[15:21] Dave, I appreciate what you did for me
[15:23] today, going over the um the prints and
[15:27] uh also showing me some of the uh
[15:30] designs that um Dr. Horton has that
[15:33] they're going to be put in place over
[15:34] there. It looks like it's going to be a
[15:37] nice development and some needed housing
[15:39] for our community.

[16:28] ordinance 2637 to the table for its
[16:30] first reading.
[16:32] >> I'll second.
[16:34] This is the 2026 paving program after a bidding process that was delayed a
[16:39] little bit because we were revamping the
[16:40] bid documents. Uh Barbus Paving is who
[16:44] uh was determined to be the lowest and
[16:46] best bidder and we are asking this one
[16:49] by emergency so that we don't run into
[16:52] any weather related issues with with a
[16:55] little bit of a late start and of course

[17:01] >> Have Have we used them before, Andy?
[17:03] >> This is the first time um that we've
[17:05] used them. Uh I know that they're

[17:24] done some stuff in Stark, but I don't
[17:27] really have any
[17:29] background on them other than that

[21:07] from the past, but this is the last

[21:11] actually a reduction for uh funds that
[21:15] they didn't use related to their their

[21:20] on this and one other final thing uh
[21:23] that we needed to receive from them

[22:34] >> Yes.
[22:35] >> Being an ordinance authorizing the city
[22:36] manager to enter into an amended
[22:38] contract with Hammond Construction
[22:40] change order number 16 for the city of
[22:42] Lewisville Fire Emergency Medical
[22:44] Services Facility Project original
[22:46] contract authorized by ordinances number
[22:48] 2415 and 2439.
[22:52] >> Okay. Is is what guy did still okay?
[22:54] Yes.
[22:54] >> Okay. So now
[22:56] >> now we can
[22:57] >> street.
[22:58] >> Yes.
[22:58] >> Aljanthic.
[22:59] >> Yes.
[22:59] >> Gdome.
[23:00] >> Yes. Mallister Atkins.
[23:02] >> Yes.
[23:04] >> Okay. Next up is ordinance number 26-40.
[23:11] » Being an ordinance authorizing the city
[23:13] manager to enter into a purchase
[23:14] agreement with Miller Builders for the
[23:16] acquisition of a Salt Dome building.
[23:20] >> I'll make the motion we bring ordinance
[23:21] number 26-40 to the table for its first
[23:25] reading.
[23:26] >> Second.
[23:29] Okay,
[23:30] >> mayor. Uh, so I think all of council is
[23:32] familiar with the salt shed that exists
[23:34] behind the police department. It has a
[23:37] concrete foundation and then a metal
[23:39] structure that holds the um the canvas
[23:42] style roof. So the the structure is in poor repair. It's we think roughly 25
[23:48] years old, but the structure is in need
[23:50] of replacement, as is the the vinyl. It
[23:53] was at one point struck by a truck that
[23:55] was dumping salt in the in the shed and
[23:57] tore it. Uh but at any rate, this um
[24:01] ordinance will authorize a purchase
[24:02] agreement with uh Miller Builders who
[24:06] was um secured through Sourcewell, which
[24:09] is a cooperative that satisfies the
[24:11] state competitive bidding requirement.
[24:13] Uh so this will authorize a contract for
[24:16] $99,461
[24:19] to replace both the the structure and
[24:22] the vinyl over the salt dome.
[24:25] >> So like at the same place,
[24:26] >> same place. It'll everything will be the
[24:28] same. It'll just be a new frame and new
[24:30] vinyl or canvas.
[24:33] >> What's the expected lifespan?
[24:36] >> That's a good question. Um,
[24:38] >> yeah, I think it depends on what you're
[24:39] using it for. Obviously, these you're
[24:41] using it for a long, they're going to
[24:43] take a lot more beating. The one that
[24:45] was there originally was galvanized, but
[24:48] when they inspected it, they said that
[24:49] they only galvanized it the outside of
[24:51] the pipe. So, once it started eating the
[24:54] welds away and getting inside of it,
[24:56] sped things up and just kind of brought
[24:59] it from the inside out. So I I mean I'd
[25:02] say 25 years on a salt film like that is
[25:05] probably doing pretty good. I think that
[25:06] the fact the concrete and stuff still in
[25:08] great shape is obviously
[25:11] >> so the new one this would be the same
[25:12] galvanization issue maybe or
[25:14] >> the No, the new one is supposed to be
[25:17] inside and outside the different
[25:18] processes.
[25:20] >> Great.
[25:22] >> Yeah.
[25:24] So way longer than 25 years is what
[25:26] you're saying.
[25:27] >> Yeah. I mean,
[25:29] >> yeah,
[25:29] >> I'm pretty sure I was on council when
[25:30] that went in the first time.
[25:32] >> We We think it was in the early two Jim
[25:34] McBth was a service director at the
[25:35] time. We think it was in the early 2000s
[25:37] >> because a lot of that was done in house
[25:38] if I remember right.
[25:39] >> Yes. Yes, it was.
[25:41] >> Just nice to know where to point the
[25:42] finger.
[25:44] >> Nobody who is currently here was any
[25:46] talk. So
[25:48] >> the concrete's held up. So good job.
[25:49] >> There we
[25:51] go.
[25:52] Okay, let's go ahead and vote.
[25:55] >> Street,
[25:55] >> yes.
[25:56] >> Aljansk,
[25:56] >> yes.
[25:57] >> Gdome,
[25:58] >> yes.
[25:58] >> Mallister Aken,
[25:59] >> yes.
[26:00] >> All right, I'll make a motion that we
[26:02] suspend the rules and consider ordinance
[26:04] number 26-40
[26:06] by emergency.
[26:07] >> Second.
[26:09] >> Let's go ahead and vote.
[26:12] >> Street,
[26:12] >> yes.
[26:13] >> Aljansk,
[26:14] >> yes.
[26:14] >> Gdone,
[26:15] >> yes.
[26:15] >> Mallister,
[26:16] >> yes.
[26:17] >> All right. Can you read it again? being
[26:19] an ordinance authorizing the city
[26:21] manager to enter into a purchase
[26:23] agreement with Miller Builders for the
[26:25] acquisition of a salt zone building.
[26:27] >> I'll make the motion we bring ordinance
[26:29] 26-40 to the table for its second
[26:31] reading.
[26:32] >> Second
[26:36] » Street,
[26:36] >> yes.
[26:37] >> Al Jans,
[26:38] >> yes.
[26:38] >> Gdone,
[26:39] >> yes.
[26:39] >> Mallister Atkins,
[26:40] >> yes. Okay,
[26:45] moving on to ordinance 26-41
[26:49] >> being an ordin ordinance making
[26:51] appropriations for current expenses and
[26:53] other expenditures of the city of
[26:55] Louisisville, Stark County, state of
[26:56] Ohio for the year beginning January 1st,
[26:59] 2026.
[27:02] » I'll make the motion we bring ordinance
[27:04] 26-41 to the table for its first
[27:06] reading.
[27:07] >> Second. Second.
[27:10] >> All right, mayor. This uh ordinance does
[27:12] a couple of things. Uh first, it adds uh
[27:14] $5,010 in revenue to the general fund uh
[27:18] that came from two ebike um I believe
[27:20] one was a donation, one was a grant, but
[27:23] money that we received for ebikes and
[27:25] then it appropriates that some same
[27:27] money in the police budget. It also
[27:30] transfers $720,000 from the general fund
[27:33] to the capital fund. uh 622,000 of that
[27:37] is for the city hall building and it's
[27:39] that amount because what it does is
[27:42] bring the um cash balance of the general
[27:45] fund down to the reserve. This doesn't
[27:47] take into consideration the end of year
[27:48] balance. It's just from a cash flow
[27:50] perspective. It keeps that reserve in
[27:53] the general fund. And then $98,000
[27:57] also transferred to the capital fund.
[27:59] Um, if you'll remember, there were some
[28:02] when the baseball fields were put in,
[28:04] there were some issues related to the
[28:05] contract language and things that we
[28:07] were purchasing versus the um the
[28:11] contractor. And so, um, some of that has
[28:14] to be paid for. So, that's what some of
[28:16] this money is for. And then there were
[28:18] also some expenses related to the um
[28:21] concession standrestrooms
[28:24] that weren't accounted for when the when
[28:26] the um estimate for it to be put in um
[28:29] was done. So these uh funds, this
[28:32] $98,000
[28:34] um covers all of those unanticipated
[28:36] expenses and uh issues stemming from the
[28:40] completion of the the ball fields with
[28:42] the the contractor.
[28:44] >> Okay.
[28:45] >> Then
[28:47] thought I was done, but I'm not. Um, it
[28:50] takes that $720,000 that I just
[28:54] explained and $221,000
[28:57] that we received from the Rotary through
[29:01] the Lewisville Community Foundation and
[29:03] appropriates it as revenue
[29:06] um in the capital fund and then
[29:07] appropriates it for spending on those
[29:10] two issues as well as the amphitheater
[29:14] that the Rotary has has funded. So the
[29:17] amphitheater money will be added to the
[29:19] money that already exists and we should
[29:21] be going out to bid here very shortly
[29:24] for that project. Great.
[29:26] >> What is do we know the timeline for the
[29:29] amphitheater?
[29:30] >> So we are waiting for the final big pack
[29:33] bid package um which again we should
[29:37] have this week. Once we receive that, we
[29:41] have roughly 30 days or five five weeks
[29:43] or so of adver well 30 days of
[29:45] advertising, but probably a week before
[29:47] we can get it out. Once the uh bids are
[29:51] received, we'll select the lowest and
[29:53] best pretty quickly and then following
[29:55] that, we're told it should be about a
[29:57] 90day build. So, we're still hoping to
[29:59] have it done by by the fall.
[30:02] >> Okay.
[30:03] >> Um is is still the the goal. I mean,
[30:05] that's of course subject to everything
[30:06] going
[30:07] >> right, but that's that's that's the
[30:09] goal.
[30:09] >> Okay.
[30:10] >> And and I should back up. Obviously, the
[30:12] Rotary wanted to have this done
[30:14] >> considerably sooner,
[30:16] but when we started receiving that state
[30:18] and federal grant money, uh it then
[30:22] involved all the the rules and and
[30:25] requirements that we have to to satisfy
[30:27] the um the processes that we have to and
[30:31] that of course slows things down.
[30:34] So definitely up and running for all of
[30:36] you this summer. So
[30:37] >> there's absolutely no reason to think
[30:38] that it won't be.
[30:39] >> Nice. All right,
[30:41] >> I'll say that.
[30:42] >> It's fair.
[30:44] >> Any other questions? That's all I have.
[30:48] >> Let's go ahead and vote.
[30:50] >> Street.
[30:50] >> Yes.
[30:51] >> Aljansk,
[30:52] >> yes.
[30:52] >> Gdone,
[30:53] >> yes.
[30:53] >> Mallister Atkins,
[30:55] >> yes.
[30:56] >> Make a motion we suspend the rules to
[30:57] consider ordinance number 26-41
[31:01] by emergency. Second.
[31:03] >> Let's go ahead and vote.
[31:05] >> Street.
[31:06] >> Yes.
[31:06] >> Alans,
[31:07] >> yes.
[31:12] >> Can you read it again?
[31:13] >> Being an ordinance making appropriations
[31:16] for current expenses and other
[31:17] expenditures of the city of Lewisville,
[31:19] Stark County, state of Ohio for the year
[31:22] beginning January 1st, 2026.
[31:25] >> I'll make a motion that we bring
[31:26] ordinance 2641 to the table for the
[31:29] second reading. I'll second that.
[31:34] >> Let's go ahead and vote.
[31:35] >> Street,
[31:36] >> yes.
[31:36] >> Al Janser,
[31:37] >> yes.
[31:38] >> Gdone,
[31:38] >> yes.
[31:39] >> Mallister Atkins,
[31:40] >> yes.
[31:42] >> Okay.
[31:44] Next up is ordinance number 26-42
[31:47] >> being an ordinance amending chapter 192
[31:50] income tax effective January 1st, 2016
[31:53] of the codified ordinances of the city
[31:55] of Lewisville.
[31:56] I'll make a motion we bring ordinance
[31:58] 26-42 to the table for its first
[32:00] reading.
[32:02] >> Second.
[32:04] >> Uh I should point out first this does
[32:05] not change our income tax structure at
[32:07] all. What it does is updates the
[32:09] language in the ordinance uh to reflect
[32:12] what it will need to be as we transition
[32:14] to Rita. And then it also adds a
[32:16] provision that automatically kind of
[32:18] incorporates any state law changes that
[32:21] we would be required to uh to adapt to
[32:24] in the future.
[32:27] Now, is the 2016 do we have to go back a
[32:31] certain number of years? Is that a typo?
[32:33] Do we have to go back like 10 years for
[32:36] >> No. So, there was a a a large change in
[32:39] state tax code in 20 well 15 that was
[32:42] effective in 2016. So, chapter 191 of
[32:46] our ordinances is actually the tax the
[32:49] previous tax code that existed through
[32:52] December 31st, 2015. We only need to
[32:54] change
[32:55] here going forward in 192.
[32:57] >> Okay.
[32:59] >> And it's uh uh I can read all 60 pages
[33:03] if you want, but
[33:04] >> took me all weekend.
[33:06] >> It's mostly uh changing tag. Most of it
[33:09] is changing tax commissioner to tax
[33:10] administrator just as more blanket
[33:12] language for whoever.
[33:16] » Yeah,
[33:17] >> I was hoping for cliff notes.
[33:19] >> Yeah.
[33:19] I read it twice.
[33:20] >> I can throw in some jokes.
[33:22] >> Always does. always does. Okay, let's go
[33:26] ahead and vote.
[33:27] >> Street,
[33:28] >> yes.
[33:28] >> Al Janser,
[33:29] >> yes.
[33:29] >> Gdone,
[33:30] >> yes.
[33:30] >> Mallister Atkin,
[33:31] >> yes.
[33:33] >> Okay, next up is ordinance number 26-43
[33:38] >> being an ordinance authorizing the city
[33:40] manager to enter into a contract with
[33:42] Horn and King Architects for
[33:43] architectural services for the
[33:45] Lewisville City Hall new construction
[33:47] project.
[33:48] >> Make the motion we bring ordinance 26-43
[33:50] to the table for its first reading.
[33:53] Second.
[33:55] >> All right, mayor. So, since the scope of
[33:57] the contract has changed um relative to
[34:00] the renovation of the existing city
[34:02] hall, uh we are doing a new contract
[34:05] with the architects. The estimated cost
[34:09] at this time is not 4.4
[34:14] million24,420,000.
[34:18] It's slightly less than that. it'll be
[34:19] just under4 million uh $400,000. So,
[34:24] consistent with what the estimates to
[34:26] renovate city hall were. But I I think
[34:28] it's also important to point out uh the contingency funds that were in the
[34:33] renovation portion of the um
[34:38] uh or the funds that were contingency in
[34:42] the contract for renovation. I think
[34:45] it's fair to say those likely would have
[34:48] been used if not more based on what they
[34:51] found when they got under construction.
[34:53] With new construction, um it's less
[34:57] likely, not that they won't get used,
[34:59] but it's less likely that those
[35:01] contingency funds would be used because
[35:02] there's a lot less question marks and
[35:04] there's over just over $400,000 in
[35:07] contingency funds in this contract. So I
[35:10] guess all I'm saying is ideally we will
[35:12] come in uh below 4 million um in in in a perfect world. Um but that is in
[35:20] fact the estimate currently for the
[35:22] construction of a new city hall.
[35:24] >> We sure have a lot better shot now
[35:25] anyway. Right.
[35:26] >> Definitely. Yeah. Yeah. I I and and and
[35:30] if you'll remember, that was a
[35:31] consistent warning with the architects
[35:34] that once renovation on that building
[35:36] began and and you're you're in it.
[35:39] There's no turning
[35:40] back. Um it's entirely possible that
[35:43] things could have been discovered that
[35:45] would have u you know up the price. So
[35:49] yeah, a lot less question marks with new
[35:51] construction. Certainly.
[35:53] >> Right on. Um, does this this price
[35:56] include the parking lot, include
[35:58] everything?
[35:59] >> It's it's it's the entire the entire
[36:01] package, correct?
[36:02] >> Entire pick.
[36:03] >> Okay.
[36:04] >> I know this has been discussed before,
[36:07] but I I think it's worth repeating that
[36:09] the city has been planning for this for
[36:11] years, so this isn't like pulling money
[36:14] out of the air. Yes, it it it goes it
[36:17] goes back over a decade that um previous
[36:20] councils have attempted to address uh
[36:23] the issues that we're we're working to
[36:25] address now. Yes.
[36:27] >> And if people have questions about why
[36:28] this is needed, they can reach out to
[36:30] you.
[36:31] >> Absolutely. We'll be happy to happy to
[36:33] provide them with information.
[36:34] >> Thank you. And there was previous
[36:37] renderings I think I don't know if it
[36:39] was six years ago, eight years ago now
[36:41] that on a much larger scale of of a city
[36:44] hall and it had a lot of different
[36:46] components to it and mixed use and I
[36:48] >> Yes.
[36:49] >> This is just this is just the city
[36:53] government essential functions. There's
[36:55] nothing extra.
[36:56] >> No, there are no bells or whistles or
[36:58] extras. Correct. Yeah. But the, you
[37:00] know, the exterior um is is going to be
[37:03] done in in such a way that it will
[37:05] complement the historic downtown
[37:07] corridor.
[37:09] >> That'll be nice. Yeah,
[37:11] >> I mean I just think I think it's
[37:12] positive when people are coming through
[37:14] town, you know, they see you see see a
[37:16] new fire station, you see, you know, if
[37:18] you're coming up Nickel Plate, the the
[37:19] library, you know, the you would see,
[37:23] you know, a city hall building that
[37:24] would,
[37:25] >> you know, not not be imposing, but
[37:27] reflect the, you know, the neighbors
[37:30] around it and, you know, going back to,
[37:33] I mean, when we're the fastest growing
[37:35] community in Stark County, according to
[37:37] the article in the Rep um last week, I I
[37:40] mean, that's those are the kind of
[37:41] things I think that we want to attract
[37:43] people and people would see and they'd
[37:45] see
[37:46] >> momentum happen in the right direction.
[37:48] >> Agreed, Mayor.
[37:49] >> And not and not to mention the
[37:52] current liabilities that we have in our
[37:55] current city hall. Do you mind outlining
[37:59] some of those? The so so the way it was
[38:02] explained to me is there are there are
[38:04] some public buildings that are not ADA
[38:07] compliant, but somebody who was either
[38:09] wheelchair bound or relied on um other means to to for mobility could
[38:16] still navigate the the building. Uh that
[38:19] is not the case with ours. I I think
[38:21] many of the council members have seen
[38:23] some of what we deal with at city hall.
[38:25] If someone were to apply uh for an open
[38:30] position at city hall and they happen to
[38:33] be wheelchair bound, uh we would not be
[38:37] able to accommodate them. Um it's it's that bad. Uh it's um
[38:44] it's it's bad. There's no other way to
[38:45] describe it. We are the furthest thing
[38:46] that you could be from uh being
[38:49] handicapped accessible. And and that is
[38:52] probably one of the most important
[38:54] things that we we need to fix. And we
[38:56] could fix it in this building, but you
[38:59] saw what the cost was. That was one of
[39:01] the drivers is the fact that that
[39:04] building actually exists on four
[39:05] different elevations and you would have
[39:08] to make accommodations between each of
[39:10] those elevations for wheelchair access.
[39:13] >> Yes.
[39:13] >> And some of those restrooms are like
[39:15] three foot wide
[39:17] >> if Yeah. It's Yes. It's
[39:21] Yeah, none of the restrooms meet the ADA
[39:23] requirements. Um, but to your point, one
[39:26] of them is literally you you walk in
[39:30] forward and you walk out backward. It's that small.
[39:33] >> Then you have you and you have asbestous
[39:36] issues they got into.
[39:37] >> Yes, there are asbestous issues. As you
[39:39] know, there's flooding issues in the
[39:40] basement.
[39:41] >> Yes. Which could bring mold.
[39:43] >> They the architects did raise the
[39:44] concern about uh about mold in the
[39:46] basement. Um the HVAC system is failing.
[39:52] >> Yeah. The mechanical systems are are in
[39:55] very poor repair and failing. The
[39:57] electrical systems if if we were to have
[40:00] moved forward with the renovation of
[40:03] city hall. It literally would have been
[40:05] stripped down to the to the bare bones
[40:07] and and everything would have been
[40:08] replaced.
[40:11] >> And this is the building that houses the
[40:13] people that are running our city. So, I
[40:15] think it's important that it is up to
[40:16] code and it's, you know, functional and
[40:19] safe for everybody.
[40:19] >> And that's that's the other part um is the security factor. Somebody anybody
[40:25] could walk into city hall and access
[40:28] quite frankly every part of the
[40:30] building. And if somebody was, I guess,
[40:32] savvy enough, they could enter city
[40:33] hall, not leave and and and be there
[40:36] overnight. And unless we swept the
[40:39] entire building every night, we would we
[40:41] would never know that.
[40:42] >> Um, so I think we do have application.
[40:45] Uh first to ensure that we have those
[40:47] protections in place for our employees
[40:50] and then secondly that we have those
[40:52] protections in place for the information
[40:53] that exists at city hall.
[40:57] >> Plus, we'll be on Main Street. We're not
[40:58] going to be hidden behind our downtown
[41:00] anymore, which I think is a
[41:01] >> I think it' be it'll be an asset. It
[41:04] should be an asset.
[41:05] >> Absolutely.
[41:06] >> Agreed.
[41:07] >> Okay.
[41:08] >> Thank you.
[41:09] >> All right. Let's go ahead and vote.
[41:12] >> Street.
[41:13] >> Yes. Al Jansik.
[41:14] >> Yes.
[41:14] >> Gdone.
[41:15] >> Yes.
[41:16] >> Mallister.
[41:17] >> Yes.
[41:18] >> And
[41:20] Andy, do you mind explaining just real
[41:21] quick why we're requesting this or why
[41:23] it's requested by emergency as well?
[41:25] >> Uh essentially it's so that we can uh
[41:28] continue to move forward at you know any delays in times, risk, cost
[41:31] escalation. And we're actually you know
[41:34] the contract already exists. A a
[41:36] contract already exists with the with
[41:38] the architects. This is just changing
[41:40] the terms of it a little bit to
[41:42] accommodate the new building versus the
[41:43] renovation. So, uh, our I I think one of
[41:46] our biggest interest is to again control
[41:49] the cost as much as we can to
[41:51] potentially get it under um under
[41:55] underway before before the winter.
[41:58] >> Yeah. Because you could you could
[41:59] potentially have at least another 45
[42:01] days, right? you know
[42:02] >> well what what'll happen at this point
[42:03] assuming this passes uh we are prepared
[42:07] to go out to uh to to do what's called a
[42:11] request for qualifications to ultimately
[42:14] hire a construction manager at risk and
[42:16] then that that company that firm will
[42:18] work side by side with the architects in
[42:21] the interest of keeping costs down with
[42:23] their expertise and knowledge about
[42:24] materials and the availability of
[42:26] materials and things like that. So that of course is a little bit of a
[42:30] process but we'll start that here very
[42:32] quickly
[42:34] and then again the engineering will be
[42:38] done within a couple of months and we we
[42:42] obviously need to get it going as
[42:43] quickly as possible.
[42:45] >> Okay,
[42:45] >> there's several more steps to take and
[42:47] we we don't want to just sit and wait.
[42:50] And last thing before I make a motion
[42:53] here, I just wanted to double check, you
[42:55] know, the few things that we had come
[42:57] back with like uh you know, there's no
[43:00] need for a mayor's office and things
[43:01] like that. Have they already addressed
[43:04] that or will they address that when it
[43:06] goes out before it goes out to bid?
[43:07] >> This this cost does incorporate the
[43:10] modifications or the changes that were
[43:12] requested. So, I'm sorry to say that the
[43:14] mayor's office does not exist in the
[43:16] most recent rendering.
[43:17] >> The mayor's office is not needed. Does
[43:18] not exist. Sounds great. the other side
[43:21] of the building that airlock area is
[43:23] also uh the size was also reduced.
[43:25] >> Okay. All right.
[43:26] >> So, it's a smaller footprint than what
[43:29] was originally
[43:30] >> correct here.
[43:31] >> I should point out that this,
[43:33] >> you know, ultimately we'll get a
[43:35] guaranteed maximum price. These numbers
[43:37] are the engineers estimate. If in the
[43:39] end it comes in at some, you know,
[43:42] outrageous price, this contract only
[43:44] binds us to the architectural work.
[43:47] There will be several steps where
[43:48] council will have the um or be in a
[43:51] position to continue the process or stop
[43:53] the process if in the unlikely event
[43:55] something would would cause it to need
[43:57] to stop.
[43:59] >> Good to know.
[44:00] >> I'll make a motion we suspend the rules
[44:02] to consider ordinance number 26-43
[44:05] by emergency.
[44:07] >> Second.
[44:10] » I'll make the motion when you bring
[44:12] ordinance number
[44:15] three.
[44:17] Just a minute.
[44:19] >> Oh, we have to vote on the suspension of
[44:21] the rules, right?
[44:22] >> Just a moment. You're ready. Okay.
[44:24] Street.
[44:25] >> Yes.
[44:25] >> Aljansk.
[44:26] >> Yes.
[44:26] >> Gdone.
[44:27] >> Yes.
[44:27] >> And Aken?
[44:29] >> Yes.
[44:29] >> All right. Can you read it again,
[44:30] please?
[44:31] >> Yes. Being an ordinance authorizing the
[44:33] city manager to enter into a contract
[44:35] with Horn and King Architects for
[44:37] architectural services for the
[44:39] Lewisville City Hall new construction
[44:41] project. Well, now I'll make the motion
[44:42] that we bring ordinance number 26-43 to
[44:45] the table for its second reading.
[44:48] >> Second.
[44:49] >> Any further discussion?
[44:52] >> Okay, let's go ahead and vote.
[44:54] >> Street,
[44:55] >> yes.
[44:55] >> Al Jans,
[44:56] >> yes.
[44:57] >> Gdone,
[44:57] >> yes.
[44:58] >> Mallister Atkins,
[44:59] >> yes.
[45:00] >> All right, that brings us to new
[45:03] business.
[45:04] >> Fine.
[45:06] >> Nothing like a thin agenda right after
[45:08] the 4th of July,
[45:09] >> right?
[45:10] >> New business. We would, mayor, if you
[45:13] would be so kind, we'd like to recognize
[45:14] two employees for their accomplishments.
[45:17] The first is assistant fire chief Hinkle
[45:19] and Chief Border will read his citation.
[45:40] Okay. Uh, this certificate is where
[45:42] Assistant Chief Henle has recently
[45:43] completed 12week program of the NFPA
[45:46] 1021 fire officer 3 and four
[45:49] certifications online through the
[45:51] Cleveland State University. This is in
[45:53] conjunction with what he has previously
[45:54] done of officer 1 and two that he had.
[45:57] this which will help assistant chief hle
[45:59] to acquire his fire credentiing
[46:01] certification.
[46:03] The Ohio fire credentiing certification
[46:05] is completed through the Ohio Fire
[46:06] Chiefs Association and the Ohio Fire
[46:09] Emergency Foundations to where they have
[46:11] identified the need to further enhance
[46:12] the professionalism of the chief fire
[46:14] officers through the state of Ohio to
[46:16] the establishment of the uniform
[46:17] credentiing program. So this was a
[46:20] 12-week program that was pretty easy for
[46:22] assistant chief Hinkle, at least I think
[46:24] so. He does not. He wrote numerous papers on this on this process.
[46:28] He done very very well with it and I
[46:31] congratulate him for this.
[46:42] » The next is finance director Matt Bup.
[46:45] If you come to the center,
[46:47] >> please.
[46:52] » Is Matt a fireman then?
[46:58] In a continuing effort to bring the
[47:00] highest level of financial
[47:02] responsibility to the city of
[47:03] Lewisville, finance director Matt Bup
[47:06] earned the certified public funds
[47:08] investment management credential after
[47:10] successfully completing a comprehensive
[47:13] investment training program that meets
[47:15] the standards established by the
[47:18] Association of Public Treasures of the
[47:20] United States and Canada.
[47:23] Wow,
[47:25] that's
[47:47] » not going to lose you to the Canadians
[47:49] now, are they?
[47:51] already got booted out of the World
[47:52] Cup, so
[47:58] on to page four, city manager report. Uh
[48:02] just a few things, mayor. Um the
[48:05] documents from the impact group, you
[48:07] should have from the email last week. Uh
[48:10] if you want to review them, uh and and
[48:13] let us know if it in fact captures what
[48:15] you intended it to capture. And then uh
[48:18] and you can let me know throughout the
[48:20] week if it if it does, we can bring them
[48:22] back at the next meeting for for
[48:24] >> Can I get copies of them or do I have to
[48:28] >> Oh, that's Yeah, we Yes, we'll give you
[48:29] copies. I
[48:30] >> Thank you.
[48:30] >> We'll give you copies. Matter of fact,
[48:32] I'll give them to you tonight.
[48:35] >> And if you just let us know that it it
[48:36] does or doesn't capture what you
[48:38] intended and then if it does, we'll
[48:39] bring them back for formal adoption. And
[48:42] then also
[48:44] uh to make sure the the public is fully
[48:45] aware, the mayor and I talked about pro
[48:48] providing a statement to the public
[48:49] regarding the city hall building. So you
[48:51] have that same thing. If you can uh let
[48:54] me know if you feel that captures the
[48:56] reasons why you're moving forward with
[48:58] the new city hall, well then we'll we'll
[49:00] make that available to the public or
[49:02] publish that.
[49:02] >> Great.
[49:03] >> Yeah.
[49:03] >> Okay.
[49:05] And that is all I have.
[49:09] >> Okay. Any questions for Amy?
[49:12] >> Oh, no. That's all I have. Mayor.
[49:14] >> Okay.
[49:16] Um, Chief,
[49:17] >> thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Um, the
[49:19] only thing I got is is Friday, July 3rd
[49:23] was the busiest day that I've had or we
[49:27] the department has had that I've known
[49:28] of. We had 17 runs back
[49:30] >> in a 24-h hour period.
[49:32] >> Um, so that's that's extremely busy. Um,
[49:35] we've had EMS calls to accidents to to
[49:38] everything. So,
[49:39] >> is it holiday related?
[49:41] >> No, none of it is related to Fourth of
[49:43] July type firework incidents. Even on
[49:45] Fourth of July, we only had three runs.
[49:47] >> Uh, nothing related to fireworks. But
[49:50] Friday, July 3rd, for some reason, was
[49:51] really crazy. And it wasn't just
[49:54] Lewisville. Osberg was busy. New
[49:56] Michelle was busy. Camp Township was
[49:58] busy. We were pulling ambulances out of
[50:00] Quad, which is down on the other side of Camp South. So,
[50:04] >> wow.
[50:04] >> Um, it was it was a crazy day for us. I
[50:07] commend the ladies and gentlemen that
[50:09] ran that day and and they worked hard
[50:10] for their money.
[50:13] >> So other than that, that is that is all
[50:15] I have.
[50:16] >> Okay.
[50:16] >> Wow.
[50:18] >> All right, Dave.
[50:19] >> Mayor, council, I really don't have
[50:20] anything. I just wanted to thank you
[50:21] again for council for passing the minor
[50:24] subision requirements to make. I think
[50:27] it it will streamline the process and
[50:29] make it more efficient for our citizens
[50:32] with regards to the process timely as
[50:35] far as
[50:37] to do extra steps. I anticipate that
[50:40] we're going to bring some additional
[50:42] amendments to the major subdivision
[50:44] which deals with development rules and
[50:46] stuff. Uh clean we're in the process of
[50:48] developing some new legislation for that
[50:51] just to clean up with regards to these
[50:54] develop.
[51:03] Well, you certainly make it easy to
[51:05] pass, Dave, because you're you're always
[51:06] there with the information that I'm
[51:08] looking for, and I appreciate that.
[51:09] >> I appreciate that.
[51:12] >> Okay, Darl.
[51:14] >> Yeah, just uh couple quick things. Just
[51:17] pointing out the the guys in the service
[51:19] department have been working hard lately
[51:20] setting up for events. I think a lot of
[51:22] them have gone well from what I've
[51:23] heard. I know that the fire department's
[51:26] done a lot with the fireworks and things
[51:27] for chamber. From everything we heard
[51:29] it, it all went pretty well. So, um,
[51:32] thank you to them. Well, I'm excited.
[51:34] Um, I don't know that I got to say it at
[51:36] the time when we were at goal setting,
[51:37] but I appreciate you guys letting me
[51:40] give
[51:41] and speak to you about what's going on
[51:43] in the public works department and what
[51:45] we see that needs to happen moving
[51:47] forward. So, thank you for that. But,
[51:50] yeah, otherwise I don't really have
[51:51] anything else to report.
[51:53] >> Thanks,
[51:55] Rie.
[51:56] >> Don't have anything else.
[51:58] >> Fourth of July, you don't have anything.
[52:00] Wow.
[52:00] >> I was good.
[52:01] >> Wow.
[52:02] >> Okay.
[52:03] >> Apparently, we gave it all to
[52:04] >> Ro.
[52:08] As I was hearing booms, I thought, "Oh,
[52:09] the police the police department must be
[52:11] busy."
[52:12] >> Okay.
[52:13] >> No news is good news for police
[52:14] department.
[52:15] >> Yeah.
[52:16] >> All right, Matt.
[52:17] >> Um, yeah, just a couple quick things.
[52:19] First of all, uh, as far as the
[52:21] transition to Rita goes, I want to thank
[52:23] council for working with me on that and city manager and everybody else. And
[52:27] I also wanted to um thank Lori uh for
[52:32] being a a very important part of this
[52:34] process. She's been extremely helpful.
[52:36] She has a really good relationship with
[52:38] um our current uh income tax software
[52:41] vendor to make sure that that data is
[52:43] shared with Rita and everything. So
[52:44] she's been uh invaluable. So I want to
[52:47] say thank you to her. Uh also just real
[52:50] briefly um the the Ritman officer uh who
[52:54] was tragically
[52:56] killed in the line of duty last night. I
[52:58] knew him. Uh he was a really really good
[53:01] guy and it's it's just always sad. So
[53:03] thoughts thoughts and prayers with his
[53:05] family and and the victims of that as
[53:08] well.
[53:10] >> That's terrible.
[53:18] » Anything else?
[53:21] >> Uh yeah. The only thing I'd like to
[53:22] mention is I I thought we had a great
[53:26] goal setting session. I was glad to see
[53:28] it come back. I appreciate the teamwork
[53:33] that we have here like you can't
[53:35] believe. I've been to a lot of goal
[53:37] setting sessions. We've had a lot of
[53:38] good productive ones over the years, but
[53:41] this one was really, really done well.
[53:44] Um I just appreciate the teamwork, the
[53:47] department heads, Andy and Tiffany. The
[53:50] way it was put together was fantastic.
[53:53] >> Yes. A lot of great information.
[53:55] >> Thank you.
[53:56] >> Yes.
[53:58] >> Okay. I echo that as well. Um and I'll
[54:02] entertain a motion to move into
[54:05] executive session for the purpose to
[54:07] consider the appointment, employment,
[54:08] dismissal, discipline, promotion to
[54:10] motion, or compensation of a public.
[54:13] >> I'll make that motion. Mayor
[54:16] >> second.
[54:18] Go ahead and vote.
[54:20] >> Street,
[54:21] >> yes.
[54:21] >> Alexander,
[54:22] >> yes.
[54:23] >> Gdon,
[54:23] >> yes.
[54:24] >> Mallister,
[54:25] >> yes.
[54:26] >> And no, no action to follow. Um, hope to
[54:30] see everybody at second Friday.
[54:32] >> This is going to be a fun one.
[54:33] >> It will. And who? Who do you want to
[54:35] stay?
[54:36] >> Take our time in executive session. I
[54:38] want to go out.
[54:43] Everybody else should be good.
