6
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:43,360

anyone from the public that would like

7
00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:49,840
to speak oh all
right keep your yeah um push your mic

8
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:56,440
then is that
working no something told me it wasn't

9
00:00:52,039 --> 00:01:01,960
going to so cuz it's it's yellow here on
my screen listen I can project yeah all

10
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:08,840
right okay there you go um Eli Wickman
710th Street um so I want to talk about

11
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:13,280
the Jefferson Park shelter awesome looks
great everything with Jefferson Park is

12
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:18,000
going just amazingly and I'm not biased
at all not being on the parkboard it's

13
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:25,320
fine but I do want to use this time to
illustrate the importance of City staff

14
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:28,560
and department heads in conjunction with
the common

15
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,159
Council I
think early in another meeting we were

16
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,720
talking about maybe what may or may not
have gone wrong with Water

17
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:43,960
Street compared to let's say Jefferson
Park where every single step was

18
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:47,159
monitored and looked at and analyzed and
gone to a meeting then another meeting

19
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:51,040
then another meeting and then if a
softball Diamond got rotated it was a

20
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:56,759
weekend phone call and then it was
another meeting so I'm saying I think

21
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:03,600
there might be a happy middle ground
between the two where some things can be

22
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:09,759
delegated fairly successfully because
common Council has what 14ish committees

23
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:13,879
TW 13 12 committees that they have to
have their fingers in at all times you

24
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:20,200
have to keep that information in your
heads at all times and that's a lot no I

25
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,519
don't expect any human to be able to
keep all details of all projects in

26
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:28,560
their heads at all
times that being said I watched the same

27
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,640
questions get asked four different times
in the last meeting

28
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:38,760
it's a lot of information to hold and
delegation is important to City staff

29
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:42,959
and they're doing tremendous jobs again
incredibly biased towards Parks but I

30
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:49,680
think director sacket is doing a great
job and I think it's really really

31
00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:53,360
important that like when you decide what
responsibilities to take on what comes

32
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,599
to committee what goes to police chief
what goes to coun

33
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,959
council can that reasonably be managed
at all time can you honestly say you can

34
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:08,360
dedicate as much time as you dedicated
to the Jefferson Park project as all

35
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,080
other things can you have those separate
meetings can you be able to do that and

36
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,120
I'm not criticizing at all I think
everything's going pretty dang well I'm

37
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:23,560
just saying when you are delegating task
keep in mind that that is more on your

38
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:30,439
plates more on City staff plate where do
you want to have to have meetings that

39
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:34,319
go until you know it's pushing 8:30
some of us have been here a while some

40
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:39,439
of us have you know haven't left or gone
home

41
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:43,519
yet are you able to handle that and
again it's just food for thought because

42
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:49,200
it's a lot of things and I want to make
sure as a citizen that everyone is

43
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,040
performing at their best that things
aren't going to slip through the cracks

44
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:58,519
that things aren't going to be forgotten
which again is human it's just

45
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,519
mitigating how much is forgotten and how
much is slipped through but overall I

46
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:06,799
think it's going good it's just
something to keep in mind moving forward

47
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:09,959
and I think the Jefferson part of the
reason Jefferson Park is going

48
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:15,639
incredibly well is because there was a
level of attention to detail and

49
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:21,600
discussion and all that stuff that
was that made it go like every decision

50
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:27,120
was pretty much discussed to death by
either City staff or and then brought to

51
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Common Council many many many many times
you've heard me several times coming up

52
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:37,320
here being like hey this is why we
should approve this or this is why we

53
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:44,080
should go ahead with that so I'm just
thinking there's a middle ground between

54
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:51,120
the two and that's all I got thank
you so basically what we just would like

55
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,120
to see is better

56
00:04:51,400 --> 00:05:00,280
communication so moving forward we have
uh minutes to approve uh for the Board

57
00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:04,680
of Public Works I would entertain a
motion Alderman repella uh thank you

Construction contract unit number 20
24-10 and this is in regards to the

73
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,880
Jefferson Park shelter and we're going

74
00:06:26,039 --> 00:06:32,599
$969

75
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:39,479
uh charge and this is charge change

76
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:44,319
second second second by Elman Perkins so
this is an addition of

77
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:50,680
$969
196 and um I will have the

78
00:06:48,039 --> 00:06:55,879
director uh explain to the community
what the change order is for sure thank

79
00:06:53,440 --> 00:07:00,000
you for the opportunity um in your
packet it outlines the different changes

80
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,319
really it boils down to about three
different changes and this is in regards

81
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:06,080
to the new Pavilion so you if you've
been out to Jefferson Park recently

82
00:07:04,919 --> 00:07:11,280
you've seen that they've started
mobilizing around that site for the new

83
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Pavilion on the East End of the park so
as we've gone through some of the

84
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,240
specifications um that were outlined and
that our contractor brought forth there

85
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:23,280
are some uh changes that we're looking
one of them is on kind of some of the

86
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:28,280
interior walls it was noted to just have
plywood we're looking to put in um

87
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:32,879
they're called t111 panel so more of
just a kind of a textured planel just

88
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:37,160
versus plain plywood that's where it
added some of that additional cost in

89
00:07:34,599 --> 00:07:42,840
labor and painting so you see a minimal
change there um you see a deduction of

90
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:47,400
concrete polishing we want it to match
um the epoxy floor that we put in the

91
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:52,039
existing Pavilion if you would go into
the existing Pavilion in the renovated

92
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:56,599
kitchen it has an epoxy floor we wanted
it to match that in the specification

93
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:02,360
had just a concrete polishing which was
not our preference and then um that had

94
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:05,800
noted that the cores did not match the
cores that we have in some of our

95
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:10,560
existing facilities so the why you see
the change of the $2,800 for the cores

96
00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:15,560
on some of the locks regarding the doors
so really just matching some of our uh

97
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:19,280
specifications and standards that we
wanted throughout our facilities is what

98
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:23,479
this change is you will see another
change order coming um in the future

99
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:27,440
when I talk about that epoxy floor
they'll be getting us that price um to

100
00:08:25,479 --> 00:08:30,759
add that epoxy flooring in so you will
see a future change order so BAS

101
00:08:29,479 --> 00:08:35,360
basically what the director has
indicated is that we've actually

102
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:42,399
deducted about 8,000 from here made some
changes and the

103
00:08:37,479 --> 00:08:42,399
change um is an add then of just

104
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,080
$969 so they're improvements basically
to this

105
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,000
facility any questions from the

106
00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:01,440
committee I have a question for you
Alderman repell oh you you pulled your

107
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,440
battery out already

108
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:08,000
all right if there's no further
questions uh we'll take a roll

109
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,959
call motion carries 8 Z all right thank
you clerk um with that I'll
