1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,960
what's going on and where we're at. So,
we can all catch up. I know that we've

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:13,040
had multiple communications via text,
email, and phone calls. And just this

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:19,279
right here is a uh
a solidified of everything of that. So,

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:25,119
uh I'd like take uh I'd like to provide
a pull cover project update to this

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:29,679
elected board, citizens, and other in
interested in this project. First, let

6
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:34,079
me say that this project is more complex
than it may seem on the surface. We've

7
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:37,680
been continuously receiving information
from multiple stakeholders, but I

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,079
believe we have developed a solid
summary of what has occurred and how we

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,280
need to move forward in this project.
The original plan called for a new dome

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:52,160
to utilize a gray beam of the same size
as the previous structure, which houses

11
00:00:49,780 --> 00:00:56,399
[clears throat] the anchoring system.
This was was included in the original

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,600
designing cost. However, during
excavation of the for the new gray beam,

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,640
the contractor discovered several issues
with the existing what I would call the

14
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,600
gray beam's footer, for a lack of a
better term. The footer did not match

15
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:18,320
the 2000 site plan that was used to
develop this plan. It w it mo most

16
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:23,680
likely reflected a much older pool
design that was transferred onto the

17
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,159
2000 site plan. So whenever it was first
designed whether it was the 60s7s or 80s

18
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:33,680
and then it just got transferred year
after year no one dug up the concrete.

19
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:37,439
So we didn't know the second uh the
areas where the footer existed the

20
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:43,600
underlying concrete was in very poor
condition and was unable to support the

21
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,640
required load of the new dome.
Third, in some sections, the footer was

22
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,520
missing entirely, leaving nothing stable
to anchor the new gray beam to. After

23
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,719
uncovering these conditions, we had to
investigate further before Yeden could

24
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:02,719
construct the dome. The most important
thing is to ensure the safety of the

25
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:07,840
people using the pool facility. Yeeden
contracted their structural engineering

26
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:12,239
firm, ISG, to review the situation.
Following their evaluation, ISG

27
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:18,080
determined that approximately 500 linear
foot of gray beam footing would need to

28
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:24,640
be replaced with a new uh footing system
that measured 24 in wide, 48 in deep in

29
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:31,360
compliance with the updated 2018
building code requirements. Um, as part

30
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:36,319
of this deeper assessment, geotechnical
experts was also brought in to determine

31
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:40,800
whether there was an underlying reason
why the concrete footers had

32
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:46,480
deteriorated as much as they have. The
geo technical team has recently provided

33
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:51,360
recommendation that slightly differs of
that of the structural engineers

34
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:56,319
approach. Both are now working together
to develop a unified solution that

35
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:01,280
satisfies both the structural integrity
as well as geotechnical requirements for

36
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:05,599
this for this project. We expect the
final recommendation to be within the

37
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:09,760
next two to three business days. Uh in
the meantime, we have received

38
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:15,120
preliminary estimates for the 24x 48
footer system replacement which came in

39
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,480
at 173458.
I would ask for an additional funds for

40
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:23,840
contingency with a total budget
amendment of 225,000 which I believe all

41
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:28,879
of y'all have not received a copy of
this morning. Whatever funds aren't used

42
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,959
will roll back into the uh fund balance,
but this is needed to keep us on track

43
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:38,480
with the six to eight weeks additional
time frame that uh yeen and moss Marlo

44
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,879
has provided to us this morning. In my
opinion, this project has had its fair

45
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,720
share of bad luck from the beginning.
We've encountered several unexpected

46
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:51,680
challenges from electrical issues to
concrete soil complications. That says

47
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,920
we are dealing with an extremely old
facility that naturally leads to

48
00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:00,720
unforeseen challenges.
Also, due to the age of facility,

49
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:04,560
there's no reliable original site plan.
As a result, we don't always know what

50
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:09,280
is or isn't underground and where it's
located. We are gradually building a

51
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:14,000
better site plan as remodels, upgrades,
and maintenance work is completed, but

52
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,400
unlike but it's unlikely we will ever be
100% accurate under the ground. staff

53
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,960
and contractors have been working as
fast as possible to keep this project

54
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:26,960
moving and meet the tight November
deadline despite these setbacks.

55
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,440
Ultimately, I believe it's better to
take the proper

56
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:36,479
corrective steps now, even if it does
mean a short delay, than ask for more

57
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,919
significant and costly issues later. I
think the main thing for the electric

58
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,080
board citizens and swimmers to know is
the dome will be installed. It may just

59
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,759
take a little bit longer than expected.
I also think it's important for everyone

60
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:52,720
to know because I know I wasn't here but
I know there was a debate whether dome

61
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,880
versus permanent structure. It doesn't
matter which path this council would

62
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:03,759
have taken. We would have run into the
same bad concrete bad soil issue. Um so

63
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:08,000
there was it doesn't matter which way we
go we have to address address the soil

64
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,440
and concrete before we [clears throat]
can go up. Uh I think it's uh I would

65
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:18,320
like to ask council for the authority to
continue moving forward by approving the

66
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:23,360
budget amendment. I also will keep the
mayor and council updated until the pool

67
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:28,479
coverage project is completed. And I
also have a copy of the Mars Marlo

68
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:31,479
estimate I'm gonna give and you pass it
around.

69
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:42,479
» Okay. Council questions.
>> Um so you were saying that we're looking

70
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:47,919
at a six to eight week delay.
>> Yes, ma'am. So, uh it's 6 weeks for the

71
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:52,400
new footing system, 500 foot of that.
>> And then afterwards, uh yeeden it'll

72
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:57,680
take pro approximately two weeks to
install the dome. Um it's my

73
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:02,320
understanding that once the footer
system is in place, they will take I get

74
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:07,120
I'm assuming laser measurements to be
exact and then they will build the dome,

75
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:11,440
which it takes seven days to build the
dome. Uh they've already we've already

76
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:15,280
paid 50% of it. They've already got the
material. They're just waiting for those

77
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:17,759
measurements to put it together and then
it'll take another week to to construct

78
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,240
it.
>> Okay. So the six to eight weeks will be

79
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,960
from like November 1st. So
>> from today

80
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:28,000
» from today. Okay. So we're saying
>> we approve this a budget amendment.

81
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:32,000
We're going to give them a sign a change
order and move forward. But

82
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:35,680
» okay. So we'd say mid December is that
sort of approximately

83
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:41,039
» barring any other unforeseen
uh unforeseen incidents. Now I will say

84
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,400
I mean this ain't the most elegant way
to say it. This is the way I grew up.

85
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:48,000
This project's been somewhat snake
bitten from day one. I mean, the first

86
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:50,880
thing we did, we ran into electrical
issues.

87
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,720
» And then now we run into concrete and
soil complications.

88
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,600
» Um,
that's this thing that was underground

89
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,720
that we didn't know about.
>> So,

90
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:04,560
» and again, that were that was things
that we would have come across no matter

91
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:08,479
what we did. Yeah. Either structure just
to verify. Yes.

92
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:14,560
» It's an old facility. I mean, you're
going to run into issues.

93
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:20,960
» Mr. Mayor, I move that we authorize the
additional funds of $225,000

94
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:24,560
uh
so that we can move this thing along as

95
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,039
quickly as possible.
>> Okay, council, you hear the motion. Do I

96
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,160
have a second?
>> Second.

97
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:36,479
» Okay, motion and second. Any further
discussion? just uh uh just just comment

98
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:40,720
or two and there's there's a a lot of
unanswered questions but uh

99
00:07:39,815 --> 00:07:46,880
[clears throat]
one of them is uh well doesn't matter.

100
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,880
Let's just move on with it so you know I
don't have anything else to say about

101
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,560
it.
>> Um I'd just like to say um as a former

102
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:59,199
high school principal I have been to
many meets in that bubble. I understand

103
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:03,680
the importance to our high school
swimmers and we have got to get that

104
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:09,520
bubble ready for a high school swimmer.
Also, I was a member of Linda Kids

105
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:14,080
Aquaize class in the morning. Those
ladies need that bubble. There's a a

106
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:18,800
good group of ladies that come every
morning and are a part of Miss Kid's

107
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:25,199
class. I've also been a member of Tony
Reese's class, Aquaciz class. So, I have

108
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:30,400
been very involved in that poll and I'm
very vested that we get this fixed as

109
00:08:27,919 --> 00:08:35,440
soon as possible.
>> I also want to say one thing. We're

110
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:39,599
going to continue to look for
alternatives, but we're going to keep

111
00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:43,519
the project moving forward and we're
going to do it as as cheap and as

112
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:48,640
effectively as we can, but we're not
going to cut corners to maintain safety.

113
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:51,839
So, I know that number y'all just got
it. You ain't had a whole lot of time to

114
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,440
research it. We haven't either. We're
going to spend the day doing that and

115
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,519
then we're going to if this budget
amendments approved, we're going to move

116
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,320
forward with it.
>> Yeah, that's good. Thank you.

117
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,839
» Anyone else?
>> Now, Moss Marlo will be doing this work.

118
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Is that correct?
>> Yes, sir.

119
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:12,240
» Okay.
>> Okay. I'd like to commend staff and our

120
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:17,600
engineers and our contractors on the job
they've done in identifying the problems

121
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:22,560
and also identifying the solutions. And
I know uh staff has worked overtime on

122
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,560
this and I certainly appreciate your
work, Mr. Terms.

123
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,200
» Thank you.
>> And rec staff and both. Thank you. Okay.

124
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,880
Anyone else?
>> And I just want to um say that I

125
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,880
appreciate the updates that we have
gotten and I know you'll keep us updated

126
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:41,920
on this. I know the six to eight weeks
is fluid, I guess, for lack of a better

127
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:46,640
description. And I'm sure you're going
to try to attain that all the uh parties

128
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:51,920
involved. And I think everybody of
course overall wants it to be safe and

129
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:55,760
ready for use when it is open. So I
think that's

130
00:09:52,640 --> 00:10:01,200
» we have uh all part all the stakeholders
know this is a important project that

131
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:05,680
has to be completed.
>> Anyone else? Okay council I have a

132
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,920
motion and a second. All those in favor
signify by saying yes and raising your

133
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,160
right hand.
>> Yes.

134
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,760
» Seeing none opposed motion carries. I
will now entertain a motion to adjurnn.

135
00:10:14,959 --> 00:10:18,560
So move
>> second.

136
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,040
» Have a motion and a second. Those in
favor signify by saying yes and raising

137
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,120
your right hand.
>> Yes.

138
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:26,880
» Motion carries.
>> Thank you, St. Be safe.
