We ask these 13 00:13:52,550 --> 00:14:00,430 things in your name. Amen. Nice to fly at place. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States 14 00:14:00,430 --> 00:14:09,590 of America and to the Republic for which stands one nation under God in the visible with liberty and justice for all. 15 00:14:09,970 --> 00:14:10,130 Thank you. 16 00:14:10,650 --> 00:14:11,630 Thank you. 17 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,760 I'm doing a little bit from our agenda this evening. 18 00:14:19,020 --> 00:14:26,240 But I would like to provide some very special recognition to someone whom we have an audience with us this evening. 19 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,680 And that happens today, Mr. Tommy Gafer. 20 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,800 If you happen to have caught the article in the Texture County Gazette and the Saturday, 21 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,240 November 5th edition, there was a very nice photo depicting our police chaplain Tommy 22 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,440 Gayther, and a very nice article that accompanied that. 23 00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:51,420 And I just wanted to thank him for his service, his wife, Wanda's here with him this evening. 24 00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:53,200 I love it about Mr. Gayther. 25 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:59,880 He just recently received the Diplomate level for police chaplain certification. 26 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,880 And this is a very, very prestigious designation, and he has been a chaplain with the Texture County 27 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:12,840 Texas Police Department for the past 18 years. He has also, has been a minister in the Church 28 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:20,040 of Christ for 52 years, and currently serves as the outreach minister at the Walnut Church 29 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:27,420 of Christ located here in Texture County, on Moore's line. He was one of 10 presented at the recent 30 00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:32,840 international conference of police chaplains, and this was the 43rd training seminar that 31 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:39,220 was recently held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And this is a very proud designation for 32 00:15:39,220 --> 00:15:44,460 him, a little bit about Tommy and his family. Of course, his wife, a Wanda is here within 33 00:15:44,460 --> 00:15:50,060 this evening. They have been married for 51 years. I think that deserves a round of applause. 34 00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:59,560 Mr. Mrs. Gaye, there have been married for 51 years. They have two sons, Anthony Gaye, 35 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:06,660 he resides in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Lance Gaether of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and they also 36 00:16:06,660 --> 00:16:12,120 have been blessed with six grandchildren. And Tommy has a assignment to get to. He's got to 37 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,520 be somewhere in just a little bit. So I want to ask if he will please come forward and share 38 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,920 some thoughts with us about the rewarding work that he does. It takes a very special type of person 39 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:28,700 to do chaplain work for our police department. And he is doing an outstanding job when I'm out 40 00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:34,140 traveling throughout the city. I see him quite regularly. He's in a patrol car with an officer, 41 00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:39,360 and so he's interfacing with our police officers who work our streets each and every day, 42 00:16:39,580 --> 00:16:42,740 and also interacts with our citizens on a regular basis. 43 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,460 So Tommy, I'm just going to turn it over to you. Once again, thank you for being here. 44 00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:51,040 Thank you for wanting to thank you for being here as well. And we certainly appreciate your service, 45 00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:54,020 and I'm going to turn the floor where you serve for a few remarks. 46 00:16:54,020 --> 00:17:03,820 Okay. I appreciate the award that was presented. It takes the 500 consecutive or continued 47 00:17:03,820 --> 00:17:11,780 education units to be able to meet the diplomat award. We have start with basic, which 48 00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:19,740 is 12 core courses, and then we move up to senior and then to master. When I got my master's 49 00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:31,120 certification in 2008 and Mobile Alabama thought, well, I had reached the top and then they added two more levels, so I guess they didn't want me to retire. 50 00:17:32,460 --> 00:17:45,600 So I appreciate what I do. I love doing what I do in supporting these officers because every day they go out and they don't know what they're going to face due that day. 51 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:52,480 I, as the, Mr. Mayor said, I do get a chance to end the privilege to ride along with officers. 52 00:17:54,180 --> 00:18:00,700 And when I step in there, their office, their automobile, that they're driving for the day, 53 00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:06,900 then I'm at their disposal on their first backup. 54 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:14,620 If they need backup and the police department here does a great job at backing each other up 55 00:18:14,620 --> 00:18:24,660 In the city, whatever the call is they have, just last week, we were called to an accident. 56 00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:30,080 Luckily no one was hurt and everything went well. 57 00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,360 And I do love what I do. 58 00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:38,960 I love doing the work of the church in the ministry for 52 years. 59 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:51,460 And we're here in Pennsylvania at the Walnut Church for, as I reached Minister for, I'm going in my 19th year and 18 years with a police department. 60 00:18:53,440 --> 00:19:03,900 When I moved here to work with the church, I got the call from one of the Lieutenant's, at that time, now a retired captain. 61 00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:09,080 He said, the chief would like to meet with you for lunch and I thought, well, I just moved here. 62 00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:09,980 Why did I do wrong? 63 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:21,000 So, it was, it was a shock to be invited and I received my commission December of 1998 64 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,660 and been working ever since. 65 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:31,000 But I appreciate the recognition and I'm working towards the next level of time I get there. 66 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080 I want to move two more levels out of it. 67 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,220 Well, you'll just keep going. 68 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:35,680 We're growing. 69 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,680 Appreciate it, baby. 70 00:19:36,940 --> 00:19:37,280 All right. 71 00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:40,760 We appreciate your presence here this evening. 72 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,320 And we thank you for the great work that you do. 73 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,860 And comforting our officers and especially in very critical times. 74 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,960 And in those days crop up, unfortunately, from time to time. 75 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,340 And so we're just allowed to have you. 76 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:58,520 And we appreciate the great work that you do serving the church in the community as well. 77 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,440 So there's a banner that's out on display in front of the church that says, back the 78 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:03,920 blue. 79 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,820 So we certainly appreciate that. 80 00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:08,700 So thank you very much for being here. 81 00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:14,560 And that my rock is with me, my wife, I appreciate her being here tonight as well. 82 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:14,940 Okay. 83 00:20:14,940 --> 00:20:16,120 Thank you so much for the record. 84 00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:16,640 All right. 85 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,100 You're welcome. 86 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,040 Have a great evening. 87 00:20:23,770 --> 00:20:24,010 All right. 88 00:20:24,130 --> 00:20:26,010 Moving along with our agenda this evening. 89 00:20:26,110 --> 00:20:30,230 I have a few items of additional items I'd like to go over with you this evening. 90 00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:39,330 First of all, Council, we will be having a special meeting next Monday, November 21st at 6pm here in the Council chambers. 91 00:20:39,890 --> 00:20:48,750 The main purpose of that meeting will be to canvas the recent election results, and we do have three ordinances that we're going to be considering that evening. 92 00:20:48,990 --> 00:20:52,450 So we do want to make sure that we have at least a forum for that. 93 00:20:52,450 --> 00:20:59,590 It only takes two council members to do the campus thing, but in order to take action on the ordinances, we do need to have at least four here. 94 00:20:59,590 --> 00:21:04,790 So please try to make every attempt to be here next Monday for a special call to Council 95 00:21:04,790 --> 00:21:07,190 meeting,

250 00:33:36,020 --> 00:33:40,380 I mean, is this, is there a certain period of time before this item can, or any items 251 00:33:40,380 --> 00:33:43,720 like this, have you built on that can be revisited or is this? 252 00:33:43,780 --> 00:33:47,120 I don't think this one has a revisited, dead line or time line on it. 253 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,120 Function of the Ministry of Education. 254 00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:50,120 The Ministry of Education. 255 00:33:50,380 --> 00:33:50,560 Okay. 256 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:51,620 Okay. 257 00:33:51,620 --> 00:33:51,820 All right. 258 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:57,040 So resolution of 2016-116 fails by vote of 3-1. 259 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:02,620 Item eight is orders number 2016-126, a mending budget expenditure for the fiscal year 260 00:34:02,620 --> 00:34:12,260 ending September 30th, 2017 to appropriate funding in the amount of $1,353,200 for projects, 261 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:17,060 including included in the previously approved capital improvement program. 262 00:34:17,700 --> 00:34:20,360 And we are set to vote on this item this evening. 263 00:34:20,940 --> 00:34:23,780 Any comments from staff on this item, Mr. Winston? 264 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,540 The presentation I'll take you through right quick. 265 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,340 I'll talk to you as I get to that page. 266 00:34:41,450 --> 00:34:47,350 P was part of your budget approval and you had workshop on CIP and we had public hearings 267 00:34:47,350 --> 00:34:50,370 and we really received a little input at the public hearings. 268 00:34:50,970 --> 00:34:55,410 However, the CIP does have a number of items for this fiscal year, 269 00:34:57,670 --> 00:35:21,010 $13.4 million in value, items that are in blue, and what we're working on these projects to get a moving forward to get ready to issue the bonds about March, but we want to get the bids in hand so that you know exactly the cost before we issue the bonds, so we don't have to over-issue the bonds. 270 00:35:21,010 --> 00:35:31,550 And so, in working on the project, what we've come to realize is that first project is the 271 00:35:31,550 --> 00:35:32,230 ball field lights. 272 00:35:32,890 --> 00:35:41,250 We had identified ball fields at both Springlight Park and Wallace Park to be received new 273 00:35:41,250 --> 00:35:41,710 lights. 274 00:35:42,210 --> 00:35:47,250 So as we worked on getting quotes for those lights, we're going through the byboard, which 275 00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:48,090 you don't have to compete. 276 00:35:48,330 --> 00:35:49,650 You actually just go to the byboard. 277 00:35:49,650 --> 00:35:55,470 And we got a quote, and those two projects, originally, 278 00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:04,040 $41,000 in value, we got a quote for 279 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:09,920 7,000 or 79,000, which is 59,000 less, plus two additional fields, that spring-like 280 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:10,320 parks. 281 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:16,140 So we have additional fields being lighted for less money than what we had programmed. 282 00:36:17,380 --> 00:36:23,180 Howard the Bible word would like for us to water those before December 31st, and Parks and 283 00:36:23,180 --> 00:36:25,780 We'd like to get them installed before the next month season. 284 00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:29,040 So that would be a head of the bond issue. 285 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,440 We have four projects that require quite a bit of design effort. 286 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,920 And we've gotten quotes for the design effort for these projects. 287 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,440 Within those projects, the design money that we had set aside in the planning, 288 00:36:45,580 --> 00:36:49,440 total $875,000 for the four projects you see listed. 289 00:36:50,820 --> 00:36:58,120 And we've gotten quotes to do the design work for 509,000, so 360,000 less than we had programmed. 290 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:07,680 So here's a recap of the two, the purchase, the early purchase of the ballfuel lights, the design effort to me and two, 291 00:37:08,460 --> 00:37:14,180 we're planning a $64,000 contingency there, bringing it to me and $353. 292 00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:24,680 So that's 418,000 less than we had programmed in the CIP for this particular effort, moving forward. 293 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,100 Green zoom into some of this for you. 294 00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:38,960 The design line you see here, we're right here at this point, we've received the quotes, 295 00:37:39,740 --> 00:37:41,580 and then of course the purchase we got the purchase price. 296 00:37:41,580 --> 00:37:47,640 Now, we're bringing to you the resolution or the ordinance to adopt, allow us to go ahead and 297 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:53,600 make these purchases early, but the ordinance we're working with the bond attorney and 298 00:37:53,600 --> 00:38:00,520 selfless financial advisors, and so the ordinance includes provisions that would allow reimbursement 299 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:06,100 to the city once we sell the bonds to get this money back, so this is a loan to get this moving 300 00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:11,540 forward and have it up front and we expect to have everything ready about March. It will be 301 00:38:11,540 --> 00:38:17,620 meeting with Southwest Financial and the Bond Attorney later to establish their milestone 302 00:38:17,620 --> 00:38:23,060 dates and then we'll make those dates mesh up with when we should have all the bids in so that 303 00:38:23,060 --> 00:38:29,240 we'll have the grand total of what the total bond issues should be going forward. Then we'll add to that 304 00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:35,620 design money for next year's projects, which there's three projects, one, two of which will have 305 00:38:35,620 --> 00:38:42,360 on efforts. The art park is the big one. The parole renovation and art park project. So we would 306 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:49,580 want to get that design money in hand before next year starts. And so that would be in, 307 00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:54,040 we'll establish a fund for that to all the design money is held there all the time and we'll keep 308 00:38:54,040 --> 00:39:00,340 rotating that money in and out from year to year to year. So we want to have to do this early reimbursement 309 00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:07,460 effort. The bottom turn is provided the language necessary to protect the city and the 310 00:39:07,460 --> 00:39:12,620 lender, because the lender has to maintain their tax status in order to get their tax 311 00:39:12,620 --> 00:39:17,500 exemptions when they do loan the money to us and we start paying the debt service, so 312 00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:21,980 that is municipal debt and they get a big tax break for that and that's how we get lower 313 00:39:21,980 --> 00:39:28,580 interest rates. We would also say that the previously when you approve the refinancing of 314 00:39:28,580 --> 00:39:36,800 those beets have come in and we'll be closing on the new bonds later this month and 315 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,900 this grant hold savings to the city is $1.2 million. We actually did get a very good 316 00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:48,920 interest rate less than 2% interest rate on those bonds and so we are moving in the 317 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:53,880 direction of ensuring that we're doing the right things for the capital improvement 318 00:39:53,880 --> 00:40:01,220 program as a debt service program. We did go through a bond rating review with 319 00:40:01,220 --> 00:40:06,800 standards and poor, with that particular issue and they did give us a nice 320 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:11,700 report. We're still double A minus, but with a strong outlook, which we haven't 321 00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:17,840 had before, so we start to move that direction. And as I review the report, we will 322 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,320 try to get some extraction that report for you. The report itself is confidential. 323 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:27,100 They don't want you to publish it, but there are some comments in there. 324 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:33,320 They review everything, the government, the city, and the city's government got high marks 325 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:39,120 across the board on policies, procedures, things we're doing to build the capital 326 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:44,580 movement plan, carry out the plan, that sort of thing, and the policies you adopted, there 327 00:40:44,580 --> 00:40:49,080 are aware that we owe you two more policies you have to do, we need to adopt it, the 328 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:55,320 One bounce policy will be bringing to you a debt service policy, will be bringing to you a revenue policy and their expect and see those. 329 00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:57,860 They expect that will help us in the next review. 330 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,940 The city itself is quite kind of held as back a little bit. 331 00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:04,600 The economic strength of the city. 332 00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:08,860 There's one factor that they use as wealth of the city. 333 00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:11,180 That's the per capita wealth. 334 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:19,060 And from what I can figure, they take the total tax value of the city and divide it by 335 00:41:19,060 --> 00:41:24,400 the population and we're below the national average in that number and that's kind of 336 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,100 holding us back a little bit but if we keep continuing to improve our communities continue 337 00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:34,880 with the demolition program for example continue to look for industry to come here. Over time 338 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,200 we think that's going to improve and I think they feel like it's going to improve as well based on 339 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:45,240 what we're doing. The analysts that we spoke with, Chris and I spent probably hour and a half 340 00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:54,240 two hours on the phone with the analyst in New York at the time and reviewed everything with him and he'd been reading all the newspaper articles from here. 341 00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:01,480 Reading all of our reports, he was very thorough with our website, new everything about us. 342 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,560 So he was very confident. So we think we have a good analyst working with us. 343 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:12,360 So I think it's looking forward. I think we have a good outlook looking forward to helping prove our bond rating. 344 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:18,120 They won't do the review again for two years, but we'll continue to work on those aspects that 345 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,560 they've identified in there that we need to work on. 346 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,320 So with that, so what we're bringing to you is the opportunity to save somebody, we feel, 347 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:31,780 and to get these projects ready and moving forward so that we can get all the projects ready 348 00:42:31,780 --> 00:42:37,340 by March for award-of-contracts and issuance of the bonds all at the same time. 349 00:42:37,540 --> 00:42:39,400 So with that, being in your questions and comments. 350 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,280 Questions from Council members on this item? 351 00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:49,920 Okay.

511 00:53:36,500 --> 00:53:37,860 Thank you very much. 512 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:44,240 Moving along to item 2, resolution number 2016-132, approving and authorizing the city manager 513 00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:50,060 to enter into an agreement with waste management of taxes incorporated for refuge collection. 514 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:57,040 Public hearing will be held over the 28th, second briefing December 12, Council vote January 9, 2017. 515 00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,040 and we have our Director of Public Works, Mr. 516 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,000 Collided, to break this on this item. 517 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:03,100 Good evening. 518 00:54:03,260 --> 00:54:04,060 Good evening, Mayor Council. 519 00:54:05,620 --> 00:54:08,480 As you may remember, heard here this year, 520 00:54:08,620 --> 00:54:11,120 we discussed that the City's Trans Collection contract 521 00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:12,060 with Ways Management, 522 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,120 expires February 28th, 2017. 523 00:54:16,500 --> 00:54:19,040 At that time, through Resolution 2016, 524 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,340 O85, the Council author asks the city manager 525 00:54:22,340 --> 00:54:24,880 to negotiate a contract extension with Ways Management. 526 00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:32,500 staff has negotiated with waste management and has recommended the approval of a five-year agreement. 527 00:54:33,260 --> 00:54:36,240 The proposed agreement would start March 1, 17. 528 00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:42,300 I'll try to go through and just give you some of the highlights of the contract. 529 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:50,340 I think first and foremost all services that are provided in the current contract are provided in the proposed contract. 530 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:57,880 One of the atoms that would be new in the proposed agreement that the city would receive 253 531 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:06,120 Hall offs of 30 yard roll offs means annually, that is a big deal for us. 532 00:55:07,020 --> 00:55:10,960 We use those roll offs in demolition all the time. 533 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:18,020 We use them for neighborhood cleanups and other city projects just to give you kind of idea how much that is. 534 00:55:18,620 --> 00:55:27,100 City could possibly have a cost of wood and some close to $78,000 at the current rate, if we use all 250 535 00:55:28,100 --> 00:55:35,380 hall-offs. Just for your information, demolition alone, from last November to this November, we've used 536 00:55:35,380 --> 00:55:40,180 150 of those hall-offs just for demolition. That doesn't count anything else we would have used 537 00:55:40,180 --> 00:55:50,700 So, also, part of the proposed agreement, there is a special grid waste container that TWU uses at their 538 00:55:50,700 --> 00:55:57,580 south state land treatment plant. There's a current charge in the contract for $133.32 539 00:55:57,580 --> 00:56:07,700 a month, so rental for that container. In a proposed contract, that would be no cost for that 540 00:56:07,700 --> 00:56:15,280 agreement. The city could have cost savings of $150,000 annually on the Curbsat Bokew 541 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:22,580 Ways Collection Service. That service has been in a current contract since 2010. 542 00:56:23,620 --> 00:56:33,640 Winnian has a dendom, a dendom to the second amendment. Winnian in 2010, it was after 543 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:37,780 we'd gone from two pickups a week, to one pickup a week, 544 00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:42,000 they added back the bulky, bulky waste pickup to one time a week. 545 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,040 The city actually was getting directly 546 00:56:46,700 --> 00:56:53,380 billed for that service for at a $12,500 monthly since 2010. 547 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,180 The service is not changing, it'll still be provided. 548 00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:02,660 Same way it has been, one time a week pickup. 549 00:57:02,660 --> 00:57:11,360 want up to one cubic yard of material, but the cost for that service has now been included in 550 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,780 the proposed rates going forward, so it would be a service that would be paid for on the 551 00:57:15,780 --> 00:57:16,780 customer hand. 552 00:57:18,820 --> 00:57:25,680 Both residential rates and commercial rates look to go a small amount. 553 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:36,040 Currently, in the contract, residential rates per month are $17.35, the proposed rate, which 554 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:46,860 would go into effect March 1, showed to be $17.85, so a 50-cent per month increase $60 a year 555 00:57:46,860 --> 00:57:49,160 roughly for that overall. 556 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:56,940 I have included all the commercial rates, there's several options depending on how much 557 00:57:56,940 --> 00:58:00,680 you get picked up, how big your container is and that kind of thing. So there's a 558 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:06,300 rate sheet in your packet for commercial rates. They're a little bit different depending 559 00:58:06,300 --> 00:58:13,400 on what you're looking at, but I'll just give you a quick for instance. Currently, if you 560 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:21,180 are, let's say you're using an 8-yard front-end load container, you get picked up one time a week, 561 00:58:21,620 --> 00:58:28,560 you're paying $1.956 for that service currently in the proposed contract. It looks like 562 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:38,900 it's $199.99 or $22.00. So, the less than $8.00 different. So, just for instance, both of 563 00:58:38,900 --> 00:58:44,340 included in your packet with all the rates, and with that I would open it up to any questions 564 00:58:44,340 --> 00:58:46,000 you may have. 565 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:47,440 Questions from Mr. Billy? 566 00:58:49,470 --> 00:58:54,570 Well, we've got Mr. Samson, the audience from West Management, who's a regular attending 567 00:58:54,570 --> 00:59:00,370 our council meetings and West Management, my opinion does a great job serving our citizens. 568 00:59:00,810 --> 00:59:06,930 And so we thank you for the work that you put in on this contract, and we will have a follow-up 569 00:59:06,930 --> 00:59:10,530 with the public hearing at the next council meeting. 570 00:59:10,770 --> 00:59:13,590 Any questions for Mr. Dooley or for Mr. 571 00:59:16,130 --> 00:59:16,570 Sam's? 572 00:59:16,810 --> 00:59:18,250 Okay.

The long-awaited welcome, Sam. 586 00:59:48,750 --> 00:59:54,390 We've got two different things I'd like to talk about. First, we took the invitation. 587 00:59:54,550 --> 00:59:59,390 We sent out invitations for Beads, for the construction of the welcome, Sam. We did that 588 00:59:59,390 --> 00:59:59,970 on October 7th. 589 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:10,500 16th. We received three separate meds. One was from 413 incorporated. The other two were from TEC incorporated in dynamic 590 01:00:10,500 --> 01:00:19,480 sand solutions and marketing LLC. We opened meds November 3rd. The lowest responsive 591 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:28,000 Minter was 413 incorporated and their press was $66,479 for the, they're being. 592 01:00:29,180 --> 01:00:32,960 We do have, we have had them perform work for us in the past. 593 01:00:33,540 --> 01:00:42,220 Their work history is very good, so we would ask that you would consider all the rise in 594 01:00:42,220 --> 01:00:46,120 the city manager to be able to enter into a contract before 13 to do that work. 595 01:00:47,140 --> 01:00:56,440 Also, as part of this ordinance, funds have not been appropriated in the FY 17 budget to do 596 01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:57,040 this work. 597 01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:02,300 Remember the last time we talked, we were going to get the bid prices and bring you back. 598 01:01:02,780 --> 01:01:05,460 Budget amendment, we're also doing that with this ordinance. 599 01:01:07,380 --> 01:01:14,520 The appropriation that we're requesting is $79,779 in each requested from the general fund. 600 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:23,580 The reason that's different than what the contract amount was is that's a 20% contingency in case we run into anything during the contract 601 01:01:23,580 --> 01:01:28,640 That we don't know about going in. So that's why that's why the number is a little different 602 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,520 With that I'd answer any questions you may have 603 01:01:33,220 --> 01:01:34,180 Question with Lily 604 01:01:34,180 --> 01:01:36,520 Now that we've been 605 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:41,620 just waiting just to take place and so we'll have bookends for our city both the and the 606 01:01:41,620 --> 01:01:47,080 West and in the West and the East and for those who are traveling through the city by way of 607 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:53,820 interstate 30 so this is something new and exciting and look forward to getting this done. 608 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:58,660 So thank you very much.
