[7:49]
All right, Ms. Kerry, if you're on the line, you got your sign.
[7:52]
Here's your sign, I guess is what they were saying.
[7:54]
So thank you very much.
[7:58]
All right.
[8:01]
Item number
[8:04]
14 has been continued
[8:11]
to the 15th, June 15th.
[8:16]
Okay.
[8:18]
All right.
[8:19]
So we'll go to item number 17.
[8:23]
Consider authorizing an oversized participation
[8:26]
I agree with blockhead to a 280-7 blockhead to Mr. Bayley, are you going to?
[8:33]
Yes sir.
[8:33]
Lane, close with that is.
[8:36]
Mayor, council, the item you have before you tonight for consideration with the 287
[8:41]
blockhead to L.P. for the oversized participation is basically there's two items you're 17 and 18 are
[8:49]
companion items. The 17 is the item we're asking for approval to funding or I'm sorry for
[8:57]
participation of and item 18 is the funding companion. So 17 is for the approximately 1160 linear
[9:07]
feed of 16 inch diameter waterline over sizing from 12 inch diameter in the saddlebrook phase 2A
[9:15]
addition. It's with the two 87 walks of HLPE in the amount of $90,960 and in the companion item
[9:28]
I guess we make me want to vote on this separately, but the companion item is just the reimbursement resolution
[9:34]
where we would be funding this project or reimbursing ourselves from the 2019-2020
[9:41]
certificate of obligation bond sales that did happen or were proposing to have later this summer
[9:50]
and I'm available for any questions you might have. Oh right thank you. Any questions from Mr. Bailey?
[9:55]
All right,
[9:58]
hearing none, we'll ask for motion for approval on item number 17 of motion and the second, please vote in the second.
[10:09]
Get them strength.
[10:12]
Jack Bayley.
[10:15]
Mayor Lyshipley.
[10:17]
And Mayor Hill.
[10:18]
I've all eyes have it.
[10:20]
And then item number 18 is the reimbursement.
[10:22]
Is the motion for that to please.
[10:25]
Move to move.
[10:27]
Second.
[10:28]
Motion the second, please vote in the second.
[10:31]
have them strength, Mr.
[10:37]
Chipley, mayor Hill, thank you, as well.
[10:42]
All right, and then Adam, number 19 has been outstanding.
[10:46]
And I'm taking this probably year six, right?
[10:48]
Yes, sir.
[10:49]
I'll feel that one, too.
[10:51]
The item 19 is for consideration is our sanitary sewer system point repair contract
[10:57]
with G2 contractors, and that's in the amount of $107,320 or $0.04, and this is for repairs
[11:09]
that's been identified in the sewer system from our 2018, our 2018-2019 smoke testing project
[11:20]
to be paid for out of our 2019-20 O&M projects, and we've got those dollars
[11:27]
budgeted in this year's Operation of Maintenance funds, and
[11:33]
I'm available to
[11:34]
answer any questions you may have on that one.
[11:36]
Anyone have a question from Mr. Layton?
[11:57]
Yes, sir,
[12:01]
yes, sir, this is our fifth phase of smoke testing and it's some of the larger
[12:14]
items that's been identified. Staff has repaired several of these items but it's
[12:21]
time to bring in some contract help now to finish them up.
[12:26]
So we would appreciate
[12:27]
council.
[12:35]
Well thank you sir. Thank you. Anyone else?
[12:40]
I don't need to motion for approval
[13:05]
I'm going to pass this, we're going to pass that,
[13:13]
yeah, good evening mayor and council.
[13:16]
So, yes, the item in front of you tonight is a supplemental appropriation to the Trinity River Authority or
[13:21]
TRA contract for Bargwell Reservoir Maintenance.
[13:24]
It's the amount of $56,000.
[13:26]
This is an annually planned expense.
[13:29]
And every year the TRA provides us the budget they get from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during our budget process.
[13:36]
However, it can be subject to change.
[13:38]
Unfortunately, we received a revised budget amount from the TRA after the city had finalized their budget for this year.
[13:44]
So this supplemental appropriation will be needed to meet our maintenance obligation for the remainder of the fiscal year.
[13:51]
However, we did receive a check last month for $75,000 from the TRA.
[13:55]
It's a credit from last year's budget, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers didn't use all the funds.
[14:01]
They needed so this settlement will more than offset the request tonight.
[14:06]
I'm available to answer any questions, thank you.
[14:07]
Thank you.
[14:22]
Okay, thank you for the refund, so we'll find a vote on that need a motion to accept that please motion and a second please vote in the
[14:32]
All right.
[14:34]
Kevin Strenke.
[14:36]
All right.
[14:38]
Chuck Bayley.
[14:41]
Mayor Lew Shipley.
[14:44]
David Hill.
[14:45]
There you go.
[14:46]
I have it.
[14:46]
Appreciate it.
[14:47]
Thank you.
[14:49]
I get to sound item 21.
[14:52]
For comments on Mayor of City Council attorney
[14:55]
and the city manager.
[14:58]
Channel, we'll start off with you since you're to our left.
[15:04]
The only thing I'd like to say, and I know we've said it a million times, but Thomas is actually here to not to be able to hear it come from us, but for me anyway. But I just appreciate everything that Thomas and all the folks over at the OC's been doing, Megan and Monica and Gary, they've been helping out and working a lot of hours and Thomas is always working in the evening time. We get text from him all throughout the weekend and he's constantly calling.
[15:29]
me an updating me and all throughout the day and like I said on the weekends and everything else I'm
[15:35]
always trying to get him to go home and rest but obviously you see him here at council meeting tonight
[15:40]
which I told him he didn't have to come but he was he wanted to make sure he was here because we had
[15:44]
a couple of items on the agenda but I just appreciate everything Thomas has been doing and and all those
[15:50]
folks over there and the mayor and mayor procune for their assistance and guidance they've been
[15:55]
providing you there as well. Thanks. Thank you. We didn't really discuss the funds that were turning in for the
[16:07]
re-inversion of the site, but during our time at Kennedy?
[16:13]
I mean, because most people don't know that. We had a county of them at a 575.
[16:19]
Right. That's what we're doing. Yeah, so the items that were on the agenda tonight,
[16:23]
I can talk about funding and things like that,
[16:27]
which is one of the things that Thomas and those folks
[16:30]
over there are tracking for, it's our expenses.
[16:33]
We've been buying a lot of PPE,
[16:35]
different supplies for our employees and operations here,
[16:39]
but also we've been providing packets
[16:42]
to some of the nursing homes when they need them.
[16:45]
So we have those on hand and some of the testing
[16:48]
that was mandated down from the governor
[16:51]
for the fire department's Thomas spearheaded that and got a third party contractor to come
[16:57]
in to do that testing so that we wouldn't have to, you know, unnecessarily expose our
[17:02]
firefighters for that and get a third party contractor to do it and it was really at
[17:07]
only a slightly increase over what it would have cost us just to take them to lab to get
[17:12]
the analysis.
[17:13]
So that's why we had to do the budget amendment to put some more funds into that account
[17:19]
the paperwork, but then on the other hand, we authorize the mayor to do the paperwork
[17:24]
and submit so we can get reimbursement because there's federal funding out there through
[17:29]
the Coronavirus Relief Fund with the CARES Act and the public assistance where we should
[17:36]
be able to get 100% funding back on these items.
[17:41]
We've got just through the coronavirus relief fund that's $2.1 million
[17:49]
essentially is what's allotted for walks of hatching.
[17:52]
And then we get it up front for that is $425,000.
[17:56]
So that we'll get that.
[17:58]
We can start using that pretty much immediately.
[18:00]
Well, once the funds get here, we've got to submit all of our information
[18:04]
and show that we've got the approved moves and everything.
[18:06]
But then we'll get that money and it just has to be for eligible expenses and they have a list of the things are eligible
[18:14]
So it essentially has to be for coronavirus-related items public health medical those types of things
[18:21]
You can't be for item. They had already budgeted for
[18:25]
Exempted for example like over time for our first responders and things like that
[18:30]
Could possibly be covered
[18:33]
It should, we'll see, but really it's those unexpected and unbudgeted items that we're
[18:42]
required to use those funds on.
[18:45]
There are some requirements that come along with that when you look through them.
[18:50]
Most of them are things we already do as far as our purchasing requirements and contracting
[18:55]
and making sure that we have to meet all of our environmental permits, standards, we
[18:59]
you know with air and water and waste water and those types of things but but for the most part
[19:05]
it's it's just things that we we already do on a regular basis anyway so as long as we're we're
[19:11]
doing the right thing here and we're spending that money on eligible expenses we should be we should
[19:16]
be good and and like I said hopefully we'll get a hundred percent refund between the two different
[19:21]
funds that are out there. Thank you appreciate that but people don't know what but all that is but
[19:28]
but it takes them hours to get that together.
[19:32]
And that's what Monica and the rest of them do while they're
[19:36]
over there every day, so that's important stuff.
[19:39]
So thanks for that, Mark.
[19:42]
Thank you, Mayor.
[19:43]
I'll just mention real quick.
[19:44]
I think I've conveyed this in an email to you all last week.
[19:47]
But today, of course, it was the first day
[19:49]
we had our doors in Longtrick City Hall.
[19:50]
And it certainly was great not only to have city staff
[19:54]
back at full strength, but also to see members
[19:56]
the public, you know, kind of in those folks that we haven't seen and come down every month
[20:01]
and pay the water bills or if you're not in business, we did have a number of folks who utilize
[20:05]
the in-person services today and a lot of folks are still staying at home and using the online
[20:11]
services which of course is the safest means and actually probably the most efficient.
[20:16]
So hopefully folks, people have figured those things out and will utilize those services so it's
[20:20]
good to kind of have the doors out a lot and be able to public again and directors came back last
[20:25]
week and so where they're getting our second week's
[20:28]
having all the records back because we're going to write
[20:30]
directions. Thank you, thank you, I should do it.
[20:42]
Impressed with being out at the EOC and the work that Thomas
[20:48]
and his staff are doing, they are efficient and knowledgeable
[20:53]
and we're lucky to have them.
[20:59]
So yes, I just had one quick comment and that was it's good to see Lori here again, and
[21:06]
can you pray us for her?
[21:10]
Sorry, anything you would like to say?
[21:12]
No, I appreciate it.
[21:13]
Awesome prayers.
[21:14]
Yes.
[21:16]
All right.
[21:17]
I do want to thank you.
[21:18]
Have you had anything?
[21:22]
Yeah, I wanted to tell Thomas, be sure to say thank you for that.
[21:50]
I want to be sure that we include Gary Myers.
[21:55]
Gary has been working over there since we got this.
[21:58]
of the power started, and he's pretty much getting all of our PPEs together and stuff
[22:05]
like that, but he can never find any gowns.
[22:08]
So we're calling it nothing, no gown, neither is what we're calling and has a little joke
[22:16]
amongst the staff, but it is a labor of love that our emergency people are involved in
[22:25]
And while they enjoy what they do,
[22:28]
and they're trained for it, it's a dangerous profession.
[22:33]
So I pray it's not only with Laurie and her health
[22:38]
and getting her strong in the end, but also protecting
[22:41]
our fitting, keeping our first responders safe.
[22:45]
So as we go through this in the next couple of weeks,
[22:47]
I'll just continue to remember that the virus still alive.
[22:53]
this. It's still there and we still need to keep our distance and watch your hands
[22:59]
and if you want to wear a mask, you ought to wear a mask. And with that, I guess,
[23:04]
there's nothing else we'll just be adjourned. Okay? Thank you.
