[1:49] » Here.
>> Mayor Pro Tem Biegel.
[1:51] » Yes.
>> Commissioner Reese.
[1:52] » Yes.
[1:57] » And
[1:59] » Here.
>> Good afternoon.
[2:04] » We've got a few items today.
Um, the first one is going to be task
[2:08] order number three [cough]
for the airport taxiway A and B project.
[2:12] This is an updated task order that was
previously approved back in March of
[2:17] this year.
Uh, this has updated numbers. Um,
[2:23] with with more concise costs that have
changed slightly since then. And the
[2:30] biggest thing is it names myself instead
of Ralph Lopez as the project contact.
[2:38] And that's that's really all it is. So,
I'm asking for approval on this and I
[2:43] stand for questions.
[2:46] » Any questions?
[2:51] » Now, the number three, where is that?
>> The the task order? This is for the
[2:57] airport taxiways A and B.
>> Okay.
[3:00] » So, they're going to be resurfaced.
Um,
[3:04] » Which way is it going? Is it going
>> Uh,
[3:07] » You've got uh
main runway
[3:11] and then one more way
south
[3:15] northwest on the other thing.
>> Correct. Sure.
[3:18] » And then you got the other one going
back.
[3:20] » Yeah, so the taxiway comes off the main
runway
[3:23] » Okay.
>> and it's the one that that winds back to
[3:26] the airport.
>> Uh-huh.
[3:27] » And that's A. And then the B side is on
the north side of the airport there.
[3:32] » Okay.
>> And they just need to be resurfaced. Um,
[3:35] the FAA is very um,
[3:40] very precise with
what condition those taxiways are in.
[3:45] » Yeah.
>> Um,
[3:47] basically they look at from the center
of the runway outward
[3:51] » Mhm.
>> as, you know, what's most important.
[3:55] And they we wanted to do the apron next,
but the FAA came in and evaluated and
[4:01] they decided that we needed to do our
taxiways first. What you got there?
[4:05] There's some Yeah, you can't have any
cracks
[4:09] and we can't have any debris, you know,
any of the asphalt coming up
[4:14] because rocks can get in the engine.
>> What's that? They can't do that on the
[4:17] city street. On the city street.
>> Well, I agree with that.
[4:21] Yeah.
>> But now, on one part that they did
[4:26] a couple of three years ago
they built that
[4:30] taxiway up.
>> I believe so, yeah.
[4:34] And this is just This is resurfacing, so
we don't need to
[4:39] uh rebuild any of the taxiways at this
point. We just need to resurface.
[4:43] » I just wonder why they elevated that.
>> I That I don't know. That That's a good
[4:49] question. Uh I would imagine it had to
do with FAA regulation. It was all that
[4:54] changing.
>> I figured probably because they were
[4:56] landing ostriches out there.
>> That could be. It could have to do
[5:00] with that, too.
>> Okay, thank you.
[5:03] » You're welcome.
[5:06] » I now make a motion to
accept the task order number three for
[5:10] the airport taxiway A and B project.
>> I'll second that.
[5:14] » Roll call, please.
>> Mayor Christian Meadows.
[5:16] » Yes.
>> Commissioner Hayes.
[5:18] » Yes.
>> Mayor Wells.
[5:19] » Yes.
[5:22] » Okay, the second one I have
is action and discussion applying for
[5:27] the FAA grants
uh that will cover the taxiway projects.
[5:32] Um
this application, that's all together
[5:37] is actually for two FAA grants that
total
[5:40] 266,000
[5:44] and
>> I believe it's
[5:48] 266,316.
[5:51] Um
these grants in correlation with the
[5:54] state
uh make up the total project cost. Um
[6:01] it's 95% federal grant, 4% state, and 1%
city.
[6:07] So, the maximum out of pocket that will
be required to
[6:12] put up forth is $2,666,
I believe, but that's covered in the
[6:17] cost order that was previously
approved. Um
[6:23] » I'll answer that yet.
>> No, I know. I wish they were all that
[6:27] good, too, but um
basically, uh this is just a packet that
[6:32] is everything required to apply for two
FAA grants. And um
[6:37] I'll stand for questions.
[6:40] » Do you have a question?
>> No.
[6:43] » No questions?
>> I'll make a motion to accept the FAA
[6:47] grant application.
[6:50] » I'll second.
>> Councilman
[6:53] » Yes.
>> Yes.
[6:55] » Councilman
>> Yes.
[6:57] » Councilman
>> Yes.
[6:59] » Thank you very
>> And the very last thing is from it's
[7:04] still lower from last week when we had
some
[7:07] uh confusion about a third resolution
with the
[7:12] LGRF grant.
Um
[7:15] this was the one that was
we thought may have been a duplicate. It
[7:21] is different, and it is needed.
And so,
[7:25] I just ask for approval on that. And
I'll stand for questions.
[7:29] » I'm glad you came back.
>> Yeah.
[7:32] » We'd hate to lose that grant.
>> That's right.
[7:34] » Yes.
[7:38] Any questions?
>> No questions.
[7:41] » Mayor, make a to accept resolution
2016-24
[7:46] uh approving the 20 fiscal year 2017 uh
local government group on
[7:51] cooperative agreement.
>> Mayor Betten?
[7:56] » No conflict.
Commissioner Bliss?
[7:59] » Yes.
>> Mayor Willis?
[8:00] » Yes.
>> Mayor Permenter Tippett?
[8:02] » Yes.
>> Thank you, Mayor.
[8:13] » Did you have anything to say, Mr. Salas,
before we go?
[8:15] » No, ma'am.
>> Okay.
[8:16] I just need your name is down here, so
the reason I was calling on you.
[8:20] » Well, um we were I was talking to him
about that cuz I looked in my old
[8:23] folders and you know, I brought some
work from the county. The way it works
[8:27] is that you could also use the city's
resolution and not use that one, so
[8:30] that's why I was used to doing three cuz
we'd rather use the county's and not
[8:34] that and I went back and looked and
there was only thing. So, it's just
[8:37] another thing yet that you can pull it
out.
[8:40] I was just telling him to send it to the
board to go on and get it signed, so.
[8:44] » Thank you very much. We appreciate you
coming back with us.
[8:48] Mayor Betten?
All right. Um
[8:51] thank you, Mayor and Commissioners. Um

[9:30] a notice of award, a review of the

>> So there um
[9:41] without having to go to into executive
session, their fees did not change from
[9:46] the last time. So, just
just
[9:50] FYI on that.
>> And they were the only one that
[9:53] » They were the only one that that
provided
[9:56] an adequate response to this.

[10:00] looking forward to having a CPA firm to
come in
[10:03] for sure.
Let's be forward.
[10:06] The
And when when we sign a
[10:11] if we sign a contract with them on the
23rd,
[10:14] how soon could they start working could
they say?
[10:17] » They did not um
at that point they would be they would
[10:22] be with the city manager and they would
work together to get a timeline
[10:26] together.
I didn't set that up at that point
[10:30] unless there's other procurement issues
that come up further than that.
[10:33] I set that in but after
it's been awarded to the city manager,
[10:37] we'll
we'll discuss the timeline.
[10:40] » That's good.
[10:44] » And so with that I ask for your all's
approval to accept the
[10:48] the recommendation of the evaluation
committee and the next step being
[10:53] appointed and possibly being able to go
through the contract with you all on the
[10:57] 23rd.
[11:01] » Anything from you?
>> No.
[11:03] » Okay.

and he's going to test tomorrow. And
[12:09] they are actually going to show us the
first time and then just their truck
[12:12] to they don't spray enough over there
long as we keep it safe. So, I just met
[12:16] with him a little bit ago
and Sam Holm said they're going to help
[12:19] us out. So, hopefully we got a bunch of
rain coming up, so it really doesn't set
[12:23] well with wind. So, hopefully I've got
one guy test tomorrow
[12:28] and gets the the license and then we'll
go from there. And hopefully we'll be
[12:33] spraying by
early next week.
