1
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,919
That's rocket ball.

2
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:23,119
I should have had my

3
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,280
This is where I go get it.

4
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:44,960
» Welcome to everybody tonight. I will
open the regular meeting of city

5
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:50,079
council. It's February 11th, 2026. The
time is 5:31. I invite everybody to

» I pledge aliance to the flag of the

00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:29,400
republic for which it stands. One nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and

10
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,400
justice for all.

00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:38,800

12
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,640

» Item number three, consent agenda, items
3, 1, 3, 2, and 33.

18
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:07,440
» Mr. Mayor, I move to approve the consent

>> Looks like uh Amanda's joining.

24
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,200

00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:40,519
» Councelor Hammond, can you hear us?
>> I can. Thank you.

26
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,519
» Okay. Thank you for joining. 532.

27
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:52,000
We will start with um Gail Priest.
Uh just state your full name and city of

28
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,000
residence and you will have three
minutes.

29
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:10,959
My name is Gayla Priest and I'm a
resident of Paige for 44 years.

30
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:15,920
Um, I'm concerned about the community
center.

31
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:22,240
The restrooms have been limited to uh
one stall for several months and then

32
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:28,080
closed down completely, replaced uh by
at least uh one stall working, one stall

33
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:33,040
not working in the community center.
They've been replaced by an outhouse

34
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:40,000
outside the building which has been
placed in front of a gravel area which

35
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:44,400
is not conducive to wheelchair or walker
people who are using walkers to be able

36
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:48,720
to use it. There is also no heater in
the outhouse. So if you're going out

37
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:53,840
there in 30°ree weather, it's a little
bit chilly.

38
00:04:51,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Um the there's quite a few seniors who
use the community center every day. I am

39
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:07,840
one. Um, I have some issues uh being
able to be able to use the bathroom when

40
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:14,400
I'm there. Um, I know there's a lot of
people in the park who also use that

41
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:22,880
facility for restrooms and um I'm not
really um know how many, but at least 40

42
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:27,039
to 60 people a day are at that community
center. So, that's a lot of people that

43
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,440
are without being able to use the
restrooms.

44
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Um, I understand that the restrooms were
recently renovated in 2025 and this has

45
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:42,000
been a problem since the renovation was
done and completed. So, evidently it's

46
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,759
not working and it wasn't working when
it was completed.

47
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Um,
I think this responsibility falls under

48
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:56,560
public works.
Um I have not been able to contact

49
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:02,160
anyone in public works. I was told that
there was nobody there that it was

50
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:06,240
vacant position. So um do you know when
it will be filled?

51
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:11,360
Um
other than that that's you know I'd

52
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:18,080
really like to uh urge the council to
look into the community center and

53
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:25,000
getting that u b the restrooms completed
and working for the public. Thank you.

54
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:25,000
» Thank you.

55
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:34,360
» Um, next we will have Michelle Zia.

56
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:58,759
Good evening. You know me by now.
Hello neighbors.

57
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,759
Nice to see you guys.

58
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:12,160
So tonight I want to talk about
construction and for you to consider

59
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:18,800
what it could be like for we're hearing
5 to 10 years worth of construction. Um,

60
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:24,720
but let's just say it's five years and
we have construction going on where

61
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:30,319
there's egress and ingrass on 89
and 98.

62
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:35,599
And these are highways that already
have, especially in front of Horseshoe

63
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:41,759
Bend, significant issues with accidents.
Paige PD can confirm that. Um, we've

64
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,400
been working for years. I worked for the
park before and we were working for

65
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:51,520
years on um managing those traffic
issues there. Some fatal, some really

66
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:57,360
bad ones. So,
uh some of us are wondering how you're

67
00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:05,120
going to manage these say a loaded 15
ton construction vehicle dump truck. um

68
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:10,800
you know cruising up and down 89 or 98
you know dozens of those a day every day

69
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:14,680
for five years
possibly 10 years

70
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:25,680
89 and 98 are scenic highways
they don't just lead to Paige people

71
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:30,639
traverse through Paige maybe to Paige
and then onto

72
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:38,320
Monument Valley Grand Canyon
Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef.

73
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:46,480
Don't forget Glenn Canyon National
Recreation Area is right here.

74
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:51,200
All of those places have been preserved.
Paige has been preserved.

75
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:57,600
People have been conservative about what
they do with the land here. The land's

76
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:06,120
important to the Navajo Nation. We have
public lands surrounding us. We are a

77
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:06,120
destination for the beauty,

78
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:11,080
the natural beauty.

79
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,880
This is not us.

80
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:23,080
We are kids riding bikes.
Kenna,

81
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:33,600
we're people riding dirt bikes and
hiking and I my husband and I ride quads

82
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:38,560
up to the top of the pee for that
amazing view. Anybody else been out

83
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:44,680
there?
We don't want to look at a data center.

84
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,680
Nobody wants that.

85
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:54,440
Okay, your your time is up.
>> Thank you very much.

86
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,560
» Um, last we have Angie Crim.

87
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:19,519
Hi, my name is Angie Crim. I live here
locally in Paige. I am a business owner

88
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:27,200
and I own Big John's Texas Barbecue and
I own the Barnyard and I am a taxpayer.

89
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Um about 2022 before the barnyard
started being built, um I'm here to

90
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:37,839
speak about the sidewalks and the
lighting on Hall Road. In 2022, I

91
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:42,800
started um communicating with the city
uh imploring the city to um put some

92
00:10:40,959 --> 00:10:48,240
sidewalks and lighting on Hall Road. But
I knew how important it would be for my

93
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:52,880
business, for the hotels that are local,
um, for people to get back and forth and

94
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:59,600
walk safely, for my staff to walk safely
back and forth to work in the daylight

95
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:04,399
and in the evening time. And I have um
sent letters, I've sent emails, I've

96
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:09,519
this is probably the fourth time I've
come spoken to the city council,

97
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:14,800
imploring the city council to please put
uh lighting and sidewalks on Hall Road.

98
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:18,320
I see that obviously that was done uh
dur at the end of Hall Road where a

99
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:25,279
paracub is and all that and I think
that's great. Um I'm happy for um that

100
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:29,040
it's a start, but I'm here to ask I was
told that this is a good time of year to

101
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:34,640
come before the council because the
budget is going to be made and to see if

102
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:41,760
the city could put that in their budget
to uh extend the lighting and the

103
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:46,240
sidewalks on Hall Road. There's it's not
I know at one point it was industrial.

104
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:49,600
It's not just industrial anymore. The
ranchets are there. I don't have to tell

105
00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:53,120
you guys and some of you may live there.
How many folks live on that road? How

106
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:58,880
many kids are going to be heading down
to the new splash pad and to the paracub

107
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:03,360
or I have a friend that owns a business?
She has staff that um lives in housing

108
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,680
there. The J1s that come over from other
countries, they don't have vehicles. um

109
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:12,800
they would love to simply walk to
Walmart and purchase items for their

110
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:16,880
home and they can't really do that. I
don't know if any of you have ever

111
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:22,720
attempted to ride a bike or walk on Hall
Road, but it is not safe. So, um

112
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:27,760
obviously we have a coffee shop coming
in. There's hotels on that road. Um and

113
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:31,440
it's not just about me, of course. Yeah,
I'm here because I have a business and

114
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:36,480
I'd like the support, but I just think
that that's no longer an industrial

115
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,720
area. And I would hate to see somebody
have to get hurt or get killed on that

116
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:46,000
road before the city makes the decision
to make that a priority and put that in

117
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:50,240
the budget. Um, like I said, it's just
been really frustrating for me. This

118
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:55,120
being my almost fourth year to come
before the city and beg for some help.

119
00:12:53,040 --> 00:13:01,040
As a business owner, I have never asked
for anything from the city and I don't

120
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:08,399
think this is asking too much. So, I
would definitely um urge the council to

121
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:13,279
put that in the budget to keep our um
our local community safe and to keep our

122
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:17,399
visitors safe. I'd appreciate it. Thanks
so much.

123
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,399
» Thank you.

124
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,920
» Okay.
Item five,

125
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:33,839
reports and announcements. Um,
from the mayor, from myself, I have just

126
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:40,240
a review of last meetings
um, call for letters of interest for the

127
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:48,279
open county or open council seat that
was vacated when we lost a dear friend.

128
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:48,279
Um,

129
00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:57,920
those the letters of interest are needed
to be submitted by February 19th, 2026

130
00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:01,360
at 5:00 p.m. to the city clerk's office.
Just a reminder on the qualifications

131
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:07,279
for anybody interested, they need to be
18 years old, at least a qualified

132
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:11,519
elector, and residing within the city of
Paige and has lived in Paige at least

133
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:16,000
one year from the date of appointment or
prior to the date of appointment.

134
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:23,360
And
that is the only thing that I I wanted

135
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:27,519
to review. So for item number 52, city
manager's current event summary. We'll

136
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,800
turn that over to
manager Marberry.

137
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:37,760
» Thank you, Mayor, Vice Mayor, members of
council. Just a couple tonight.

138
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:42,240
One note, state legislation has changed
the if I get this right, the primary

139
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:47,839
dates coming up. So, I wanted to let
everyone know that the

140
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:53,600
new primary is August 4th,
>> July 21st.

141
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:58,959
Okay. So, it's been moved up two weeks
from August 4th to July 21st. So, please

142
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:04,800
note that in your calendars and I think
that moves everything up two weeks for

143
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:09,199
that election. So, um can I throw you
under the bus and say if anyone's got

144
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:13,199
questions to ask the city clerk?
So, yeah, if you have questions on that,

145
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,920
feel free to to contact the city clerk's
office. She's got all of that

146
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:21,680
information.
Um, and the other one, I just want to go

147
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:25,920
back to the meeting last Thursday. That
was a big long meeting and and just want

148
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:31,279
to recognize my executive assistant,
Robin Crother, that set up that whole

149
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,480
meeting and took care of everything. And
without her, I couldn't get anything

150
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:38,240
done. And so I just wanted to thank her
for that and and make sure everyone knew

151
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:44,120
that that meeting went so smoothly
because of her. So thank you so much.

152
00:15:40,959 --> 00:15:44,120
» Thank you.

153
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:56,959
» Item number six, uh, boards and
commissions council leaison reports from

154
00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:00,160
any board meetings since our last
council meeting. We'll start with

155
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:07,199
councelor Pharaoh and then councelor
Hinger. Yeah, we had the uh the airport

156
00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:14,240
the newly formed uh airport advisory
board met. This is their second meeting

157
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:20,480
and they went over a number of of items
to include that the airport master plan

158
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:27,360
is now on the website. They talked about
a a number of priorities they're working

159
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:30,959
out and understand what the rules are of
the operation of the airport and they're

160
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:36,959
coming together
nicely to figure out how to look at how

161
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:44,160
that airport works under the direction
of Lore who's working um to everything

162
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:51,160
from parking to the buildings and
there's going to be a item on our agenda

163
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,160
tonight that they voted on.

164
00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:55,440
» Councilor Hinger.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Uh Parks and

165
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:59,040
Recreation Advisory Board met on
February 2nd. Our planning and zoning

166
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:04,079
director, Sylvia Schaefer, gave an
update on the downtown revitalization

167
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:07,839
project and how that's going. Um, they
are continuing to gather input from the

168
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:12,959
public and from business owners. So, if
anyone's interested in more information,

169
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:16,240
you can visit page beautifification.com.
Um, in case you haven't seen the signs,

170
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:20,880
I know there's one at the library and
they've got a couple around town, but

171
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,120
the website is also a great source. Um
they're preparing the paracub for an

172
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:28,720
open house that will be on March 2nd.
And then equipment for the updated

173
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:32,240
lighting at the sports complex has been
ordered and should be arriving in early

174
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:36,720
March at which point they can schedule
the installation of it. And then the

175
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:41,120
other thing um that the board discussed
was priorities for next year's fiscal

176
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:45,039
budget. And one of those ideas that
they're um that they've really been

177
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:48,880
diving into is creating an urban trail
system. And so I know staff is working

178
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:53,120
on uh looking into a couple of things
based on questions that the board had,

179
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:57,919
but I know that aligns with our city
council strategic priorities. So I'm

180
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:02,000
excited to hear more as they uh get that
plan together. And then as you all know,

181
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,200
there's an RFP for the pump track on
tonight's agenda.

182
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:11,520
» Thank you, Councelor Prowler.
>> Thank you. Um I' I'd love to tell you

183
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:15,120
that the Planning and Zoning Commission
is the department that never sleeps. Um

184
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:20,240
but we haven't had a meeting in a while.
We we did last week. Um it was kind of

185
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:24,400
light, but uh you know, I don't get a
report on these much, so I figured I'd

186
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:28,400
get it in here. Um it was just voting on
minutes and then some training on open

187
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:35,160
meeting laws. Real real high-speed
stuff. But um you know, PNZ lives to

188
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:35,160
fight another day.

189
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:46,480
I will report on
PUE's board meeting last night. Um,

190
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:50,720
pee is doing well. The one item that I
would like to share is about the water

191
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:54,880
funding update. Um, some of you may have
seen

192
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:59,919
news releases from Eli Crane or other
sources about a about a lump of money

193
00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:06,640
that 3 something million that was
finally released for use. That was

194
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:12,000
actually a 2023
fund that got stuck in the bureaucracy

195
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:17,679
and it took that long for them to get it
out so that pee could use it. That goes

196
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:23,280
towards um
our upgrade of the water treatment

197
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:28,720
plant. Um, we're still working for there
the the team is still working for

198
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:35,200
funding from many different money pots
to try to pay for all of the of our

199
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:40,640
commitment from the city boundary and
the water treatment plant and at the

200
00:19:37,919 --> 00:19:45,120
same time trying to
uh get the National Park Service to team

201
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:49,039
up with us for
um

202
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:53,440
rate American Outdoor Act funding to pay
for the lumps um that is the pump

203
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:58,720
station and the piping coming to the
city boundary. So that's the efforts

204
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:03,919
being made by the water the water
project group at pee

205
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:10,160
and lately it seems like things are
moving. So um otherwise pretty regular

206
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:15,919
meeting from pee.
Any others? No.

207
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:24,000
Item number 62,
airport advisory board bylaws. Is that

208
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:29,720
over to city manager
advisory board by?

209
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,720
» That would be

210
00:20:29,919 --> 00:20:36,320
» I'm not sure.
>> Where is that? City attorney. Okay. It's

211
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:42,640
uh so one of the things that uh our
boards do is they um need bylaws to kind

212
00:20:39,919 --> 00:20:46,799
of govern some of their operations. Uh
because the airport board was just

213
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:50,559
reformed. Um they needed bylaws, but
they can't adopt them without city

214
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:56,880
council approval. This is pretty
boilerplate. Um it's kind of a form that

215
00:20:53,200 --> 00:21:02,720
the city clerk has uh for the bylaws. So
the the airport board did vote to

216
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:07,440
approve them as um drafted and so this
is kind of a formality probably just to

217
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:12,240
get city council's approval so that they
can um become binding.

218
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:17,039
Councelor Frell.
>> I move to approve the airport advisory

219
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,520
board bylaws.
>> Second.

220
00:21:17,919 --> 00:21:23,760
» I have a motion from councelor Pharaoh
and a second from councelor Hettinger.

221
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,400
All in favor say I.
>> I.

222
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,600
» I.
>> I.

223
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:35,039
» The eyes have it. Thank you.
Item number seven, unfinished business.

224
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:40,400
We have selection of design build team
for BMX pump track park. This definitely

225
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:45,360
goes over to city manager.
>> That one is me and thanks to the

226
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:52,320
attorney for the assist on that one. Um,
so yeah, the pump track we received

227
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:57,840
trying to find out five proposals on
that.

228
00:21:53,840 --> 00:22:02,880
We had a or four proposals.
Trying to get my

229
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:09,200
back. Anyway, I can remember it because
we had some proposals received on that.

230
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:15,679
uh had a committee of five um review
that American Ramp was the the highest

231
00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:21,760
ranked firm. They actually had two
options in their pricing proposal that

232
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:28,080
were slightly different. one. Option one
had a a technically a second track, a

233
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:33,520
little beginner speed loop they called
it, in addition to a normal track that I

234
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:38,400
believe would handle, I'm not sure the
certification, but UCI

235
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:43,760
sanctioned events. It would qualify to
to hold some sanctioned events on it.

236
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:50,400
This option two had a little less track
amenities and a raised observation area

237
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:53,600
with some benches. Um, we would
recommend probably going with option one

238
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:59,120
to get the most track for our money and
then have our park staff work on seating

239
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:05,520
and amenities around it as as we can do
in house. Um, so we would uh ask the

240
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:10,240
council recommend going with the the
highest ranked firm, American Rank

241
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:15,679
Company. Um, and their proposal was it
not to exceed about $500,000.

242
00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:19,520
» Okay. Any questions or comments?
Councelor Hettinger. Um, I just want to

243
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:24,880
make sure I'm looking at this picture
right. So, it's all one track, but kind

244
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:29,280
of the top picture in the back is the
beginner loop.

245
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:32,080
Like, you can't get from one track to
the other, but it's all kind of

246
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:36,240
connected. Or is it completely separate
in a different area?

247
00:23:33,919 --> 00:23:40,640
» They're they're next to each other, so
it's all kind of like a skate park with

248
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:44,080
two different bowls or
>> Perfect. Okay.

249
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:47,360
» areas. Um, and their pricing proposal
had a pretty good picture of it. So,

250
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,120
» thank you.
>> But we'll we'll work out details and

251
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:55,280
bring updates to council as we move
through the actual design process. Those

252
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,280
are more concepts than anything at this
point.

253
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:08,320
» Any other comments or questions?
I will entertain a motion.

254
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,520
» Councelor Hinger. Mayor, I move to
approve the contract with American Ramp

255
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,600
Company for the design and construction
of the BMX pump track park option one

256
00:24:14,159 --> 00:24:20,880
for an amount not to exceed 500,000.
>> Second. I

257
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:24,480
» have a motion from Councelor Hinger and
a second from councelor Prowler. All in

258
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,240
favor say I.
>> I.

259
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:31,679
» I.
>> I.

260
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:36,400
» Thank you. Unanimous approval.
Item number eight under new business

261
00:24:34,159 --> 00:24:41,279
number one request to terminate airport
terminal space lease by Westwind Air

262
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:45,200
Service. This also goes over to city
manager.

263
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:48,480
» Thank you, mayor. Uh we'll have uh
Laura, a new airport director, pinch hit

264
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,120
for me on this one.
>> Okay. Yes, sir.

265
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:56,720
» Good evening, Mayor Council. Nice to see
you. Yes, my name is Laura. I'm your new

266
00:24:54,559 --> 00:25:02,559
airport director and I am here to talk
about Westwind Air Service. Um, so West

267
00:25:00,159 --> 00:25:09,600
Wind has requested to terminate their
lease. They currently occupy the gift

268
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:13,760
shop area of the main terminal. And
while the verbiage of their lease makes

269
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,440
it a little complex for them to
terminate it themselves, there is

270
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:21,840
verbiage that allows the city to
terminate it with or without cause with

271
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:27,760
60 days notice.
Um, it is recommended by the airport

272
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:33,360
that we do allow for the termination of
this lease. The airport advisory board

273
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,200
did actually address this on Monday. And
am I allowed to say what they they said?

274
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:41,919
They did allow they did recommend that
we also allow the termination of the

275
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:46,159
lease. Um,
why should we let them out of their

276
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:49,679
lease? It's a good question. So, first
of all, they're excellent tenants and

277
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:54,960
they did request to be let out of their
lease. So we would be giving them what

278
00:25:51,840 --> 00:26:00,240
they want for sure. Uh secondly, that
space is highly sought after. It has

279
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:06,559
been since I've worked at the airport
for the past seven plus years, I get at

280
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:12,240
least a couple inquiries every year as
to ooh what is that? Can we have that

281
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:16,559
space? What can we do with that space? I
feel that if the lease was allowed to

282
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:22,480
terminate, we would not have difficulty
finding another person to lease that

283
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:25,760
space. We would go out for proposals and
see what kind of services would come to

284
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:32,080
us and then y'all would be able to
choose the best thing for the airport,

285
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:38,320
for our guests, and for our citizens.
The second reason came up quite suddenly

286
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:43,440
yesterday actually during our
pre-construction meeting for the

287
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:47,279
terminal expansion. So if y'all don't
know, so the terminal expansion I do now

288
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:51,520
I know because I just found out
yesterday

289
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:56,159
supposed to start between three and four
weeks assuming that everything goes

290
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:59,520
according to plan. So, we have the TSA
section, but we also have the section

291
00:26:57,919 --> 00:27:04,320
that's the counter space that we're
redoing. And that's going to displace

292
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:10,000
our tenants.
So, the architect and the engineer idea

293
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:13,360
was to kind of create some makeshift
counters, some space in the middle of

294
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:17,760
the terminal that would still allow our
tenants to do business when we've taken

295
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:23,200
away their counter space for a month to
two months. If the Westwind space

296
00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:28,640
happened to be vacant, I think it would
be an ideal place to kind of shift our

297
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:32,559
current tenants so they can still do
business with a really nice space while

298
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:40,080
we've displaced them with the
construction. Now, that said, the

299
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:44,240
construction is happening less than six
60 days. So, I don't know if we're

300
00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:47,919
allowed, that would be a Josh question.
If the council is allowed to terminate

301
00:27:45,679 --> 00:27:52,720
the lease more quickly, perhaps at the
end of this month or immediately, but if

302
00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:56,799
we could terminate it earlier, that
would be even better, I think, both for

303
00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:01,760
Westwind, who really would like to be
out of the lease, and uh for the city.

304
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,919
That's it.
>> Any questions?

305
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,480
» You can.
>> We can

306
00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:09,600
» if if if it's at their request, you can.
And the reason this is coming to the

307
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,159
council is because this is a lease that
was approved by the council. So staff

308
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:21,120
doesn't have the ability to modify it.
Um and so we're asking

309
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:26,480
now for you to modify um the terms of
the lease to allow them um to terminate

310
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:31,919
it less than the 60 days that the lease
provides.

311
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:37,360
» Okay. Any questions, comments?
Anybody want to try that that motion? Go

312
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:42,000
for Do we know when when when they want
it to be effective or when we when staff

313
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:46,480
would recommend we it be effective?
>> Um they would have they would love

314
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:50,399
yesterday. Um I would recommend perhaps
just to be clean at the end of this

315
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:54,960
month. That would allow them they've
already started getting their stuff out.

316
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:59,520
Um but that would allow them to really
make the space clean and then we'd have

317
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:03,440
time to prep it for the construction so
we could move people in if that's what

318
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,320
we end up doing.
count.

319
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,840
» And I have a question. Do they prepay
their lease? Like, have they paid

320
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:13,279
through the end of this month or through
the end of a certain period that we're

321
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,039
aware of?
>> The billing is monthly.

322
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,559
» Okay.
>> Um I would need to check with finance as

323
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,360
to whether or not they have paid this
month or not,

324
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:25,760
» but that makes it clean. If we end it at
the end of a month, it's just a nice

325
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:27,760
» Okay.
>> And it looks like councelor Hammond also

326
00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:31,520

>> Councelor Prowler.

327
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:33,440
» Oh, uh we'll let Councelor Hammond go
first. So, I was just kind of

328
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,480

>> Councelor Pller, were you about to make

>> I was.

331
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:48,640
» Go for it.
>> All righty. Uh, I move to allow Westwind

332
