[8:34] uh to the bleachers of section sections f g h i and j

[8:40] of memorial stadium located at 180 west dallas avenue south alabama 36701

[8:47] i paused here to make uh one observation a technical one

[8:51] uh when this was originally requested we talked about 50

[8:54] but it is not a 50 division so i wanted to make that clear

[8:58] that this is not an even equal 50 divide between two

[9:02] uh two projects but it is actually by section

[9:05] uh whereas the cost to procure labor materials for the public works projects

[9:11] shall not exceed 50 000 and does not require

[9:14] advertising or sealed bids in accordance with alabama code

[9:18] title 39 public works 3922 whereas a purchase order in an amount

[9:24] not to exceed 24 000 shall be uh processed for labor to

[9:28] remove and replace home seating area identify areas identified above

[9:34] for parks and recreation budget line item 1.6600.51850

[9:42] repairs and maintenance other and whereas a purchase order in the amount

[9:46] not to exceed 24 six dollars and eighty cents shall be uh processed

[9:54] uh for materials to replace home seating areas identified above

[9:58] for park and recreation budget line item numbers uh 1.6

[10:07] fixed assets over five thousand dollars now therefore being resolved

[10:11] by the city council of the city of southern alabama that mayor james

[10:14] perkins junior and his capacity is mayor it's hereby authorized

[10:18] to take any and all further actions necessary to carry out the intent and

[10:21] purposes of this resolution on behalf of the city

[10:24] of selma i ask for councils favorable

[10:27] considerations you have attached to your drafts for the

[10:30] resolution a copy of the estimates for the material

[10:34] uh from a local contractor in fact and also a copy of the labor

[10:41] costs also from a local country

[10:51] um so we're gonna be replacing the bleachers

[10:55] and what else within this fifty thousand dollars that we'll be

[11:00] doing besides the bleachers that's it we're actually working on the

[11:04] on the uh stadium portion where we can actually

[11:08] have people attending a game that's that's that's a critical piece of

[11:12] getting the stadium ready uh for august for the august football

[11:16] season okay so for the office football season we're

[11:20] gonna have the bleachers which gotta remote are gonna be safe for the

[11:23] people to sit in okay with the football field

[11:25] we good with the field yes we will be fine okay no

[11:29] no other questions thank you yeah um i know the boys number 12

[11:35] treat them you don't have to or they already don't have a prank

[11:40] awesome good this this is from a local company i'm not

[11:46] expecting that that is correct it's a plastic super

[11:48] wood python with no wood in it

[11:54] that's correct yeah decorators this is that

[11:57] corrugated board right uh you can't break it with a sledgehammer right here

[12:04] made right hand side

[12:08] any other questions attorney i just have a statement i want to make

[12:14] sure if we if we do this uh in

[12:19] stages at what point if we decide to do the second half we'll

[12:24] have to bid that out correct if we if we move this project up if we

[12:28] decide to do more my understanding is that if if any

[12:32] of the work in sequence totals more than fifty

[12:35] thousand dollars yes it would have to be

[12:42] the time range i'm not completely sure about but the question is is what's the

[12:47] intent and your question i believe is aimed at

[12:50] whether or not there's an effort to skirt the video and

[12:52] i say no i don't think there's an effort to do that

[12:57] i think i think we're definitely trying to stay under business i hear you i hear

[13:00] i hear i hear you and that's my point that's my point

[13:04] that the work is being done uh the way it's been done

[13:08] to avoid uh you know that all right all right

[13:12] go ahead um also i i see there you know we have a lot of concerned

[13:16] citizens that want to make sure the stadium gets what his need is at

[13:21] some point that maybe we can do a resolution where we can have volunteers

[13:24] to come and volunteer to get some parts of it

[13:27] done with dr city having expense on it because we got

[13:31] citizens that's ready to help with it that does not require resolution that

[13:35] just requires touching base with the recreation director

[13:38] it's just like any other volunteer in the community you want to come out and

[13:41] help we'll be glad to accept your help

[13:52] but what we are planning to do is to have a couple of clean up days

[13:56] prior to like kind of pregame get ready for

[14:00] the season so we are planning to do that as we get closer

[14:03] to the august date so just look for some information and we'll make sure to put

[14:08] that out make sure the council knows and make

[14:10] sure our citizens know so we'll put that out on all our social media channels

[14:14] and any other outlets and so we will have

[14:18] organized clean up dates where we are certain

[14:21] various things that we will definitely need to make sure that we

[14:24] have done prior to accepting patrons in for

[14:28] games okay thank you very much for coming up with a solution

[14:35] michael and councilwoman james one of the things i was asked to do

[14:41] last session was to prepare a resolution for volunteerism for a specific

[14:48] individual my response to that was and i think

[14:51] councilwoman randolph echo his concern

[14:56] that we do for what we do for one we do for all

[14:59] right so i will we'll be presenting you a resolution for volunteerism period

[15:04] thank you along with what you asked me to do can we include

[15:07] a policy that is

[15:24] what is the budget about seoul second i let the record show councilman

[15:30] randolph moon and councilman johnson

[15:36] president young council of marvel councilmember christie

[15:40] thomas council pro tem carmichael councilwoman james yes councillor

[15:45] randolph yes councilman jemison yes councilwoman

[15:49] jamie thomas councilman johnson yes

[16:05] if someone volunteered to support honestly that they get hurt

[16:10] that we want to make sure that we're not liable and they get hurt yeah they get

[16:13] worried about triple h

[16:18] right and that harkens back to what councilman randolph was asking and what

[16:22] i suggested about a policy for all volunteerism

[16:26] not just for one person because you're not going to just you're not going to

[16:30] ever have one person volunteering if anyone on city property

[16:36] is injured or hurt there is always a question of liability

[16:40] not necessarily proof of liability and a whole homeless agreement an

[16:45] identification agreement is also what you want people signing off on who

[16:50] volunteered so that they don't try to hold the city

[16:53] locker for any injury of their own so yes any any

[16:59] resolution to that effect should definitely include

[17:02] and the policy which will be recommended to this body

[17:06] will include home homeless agreement and identification

[17:09] uh council uh pro tem just one announcement relating to this what i

[17:13] want to do well two one i want to thank you

[17:16] uh thank you councilman jemison councilwoman james

[17:19] councilman randolph councilman johnson for actually

[17:23] uh taking time to be at this meeting so that we could take care of this

[17:26] important business the second thing is that i have approached the summer

[17:30] city school system about partnering with us

[17:33] on this project we are awaiting a decision from them

[17:37] but it may be that we won't have to do the second portion of this thank you

[17:50] thank you
