[7.a. 2018 Sales Tax Quarterly Update (For Information Only) (FISCAL IMPACT: For Information Only) - Bryan Bauer, PE , Director of Engineering, & Jennifer Bragg, PE, J. Bragg Consulting, 2018 One Cent Sales Tax Program Manager (15 mins)]

ARE DO WE COULD YOU PERFECT WE DON'T NEED A MOTION TO PUT THIS ON JUST FOR THE DISCUSSION I KNOW SO WE'RE GOING TO GO LOOK. YEAH SO THAT'S GOING TO BE OUR NORMAL QUARTERLY UPDATE FOR THE 2018 SALES TAX GOING TO A FEW A COUPLE OF DAYS AND TURN OVER TO JENNIFER BRAGG, OUR PROGRAM MANAGER THROUGH THE REST OF IT. SO THE FIRST UPDATE IS LAST MONTH WE COMPLETED THE DEPOT ROAD PATHWAY CONNECTING SPANISH MASTER TO RIBAUT ROAD AND HELD A GRAND OPENING FOR IT.

WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS COMING UP. THE FIRST IS GOING TO BE MARCH 26 AND THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE BROAD RIVER DRIVE SIDEWALK PROJECT AND.

THE SECOND IS GOING TO BE APRIL 2ND AND THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE U.S. 21 CORRIDOR ON LADY'S ISLAND. SO THOSE GOING TO BE COMING UP AND THEN WE HAVE ONE OTHER PUBLIC MEETING WE SCHEDULED LATER ON IN THE YEAR SO WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JENNIFER TO GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE UPDATES. HEY, HOW ARE YOU? GOOD AFTERNOON. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET THIS GOING.

GOOD NEWS FOR YOU. IT TOOK PINKY LIKE 10 MINUTES EARLIER AND I PROMISE SHE'LL DO THAN THAT. IT'LL BE FINE. YOU'RE WELCOME.

OH, OKAY. I'LL GIVE ME A REMOTE THAT'S DANGEROUS.

ALL RIGHT, SO SOME OF THIS IS THE BASIC INFORMATION OF THE FUNDING FOR THE SALES TAX PROGRAM, THE RESOLUTION THAT REPORT PRIORITIZED THE PROJECTS LAST YEAR.

SO WHERE ARE WE? AS BRIAN MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PROJECTS STILL IN DESIGN, A COUPLE APPROACHING RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION OR IN RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION.

SO WITH THE LADY'S ISLAND PROJECTS AIRPORT ROAD PHASE TWO WE'VE GOT TWO TRACKS THAT REQUIRED RIGHT OF WAY FOR IT. ONE IS ACQUIRED AND IN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH PAYMENT THE OTHER ONE IS STILL UNDERWAY. THE THE PERMITTING IS TIED TO THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION FOR THIS PROJECT SO AS SOON AS THE SECOND TRACT IS SETTLED AND THE PERMITTING IT SHOULD BE WRAPPED UP AND AT THAT POINT WE'LL JUST HOLD THIS PROJECT FOR NOW FOR PHASE TWO TO SEE HOW THE FUNDING WORKS OUT. HAZEL FARM ROAD GAIN DRIVE WE DID START RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION WE GOT APPROVAL FIRST OF THE YEAR FROM NCDOT SO INITIAL CONTACTS GONE OUT FOR A FEW PROPERTIES AND MORE ARE IN THE UNDERWAY AS THEY RECEIVE THE TITLE OPINIONS SO THAT'LL BE ONGOING WHILE THAT IS UNDERWAY WE WILL WORK ON FINAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS TO GET APPROVAL FROM D.O.T. SO THAT WHEN THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION IS FINISHED WE CAN START CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE PERMITS ARE ACTUALLY IN PLACE FOR THIS PROJECT LADY'S ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL ACCESS ROAD WE ARE STILL IN RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION AND THAT SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP AND WE ARE WRAPPING UP THE PERMITS WE'VE GOT 95% CONSTRUCTION PLANS IN HAND WORKING WITH DOT TO GET APPROVAL FOR THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS ON THAT. SO ONCE ALL OF THAT IS IN PLACE AND WE CAN GET TO CONSTRUCTION ON THIS PROJECT SUNSET BOULEVARD MILLER DRIVE WEST ORIGINALLY BY THE WAY PRIOR

[00:05:04]

PRIORITIZATION WE WERE GOING TO GO WITH TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS IT TURNED OUT THE TRAFFIC CALMING ASSOCIATED WITH THE RAISED INTERSECTION DID REQUIRE ANY NEW RIGHT OF WAY SO WE COMBINED EVERYTHING WE'RE WORKING TO GET THE FOR IT AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO ADVERTISE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS PENDING NCDOT A SC DOT APPROVAL FOR IT AND THEN AS BRIAN MENTIONED ON THE 21 WIDENING OUT BY WALMART WE'VE GOT A PUBLIC MEETING SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 2ND. WE'VE REVIEWED PRELIMINARY RIGHT OF WAY PLANS.

WE WILL BE SUBMITTING THOSE TO D.O.T. FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC MEETING NCDOT APPROVAL WE WILL START THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION FOR THAT PROJECT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THESE PROJECTS OR ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT? NO MA'AM.

OKAY. SO THE SIDEWALK PROJECT ALL DAY ROAD IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND EXTEND INTO JUNE. THE CONTRACTOR MADE SLOW PROGRESS ON IT BIG ESTATE ROAD WE ARE STILL IN RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS ONE WRAPPED UP TO GET IT INTO BROAD RIVER BOULEVARD RALEIGH WE'VE REVIEWED PRELIMINARY ABOUT THE 55% PLANS WE'RE WAITING ON THE RIGHT OF WAY PLANS REVIEW THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE WILL SCHEDULE A PUBLIC MEETING ONCE WE GET THOSE PLANS TO REVIEW BROAD RIVER DRIVE.

WE'VE GOT THE PUBLIC MEETING SCHEDULED FOR 26TH. WE'VE HAD PRELIMINARY RIGHT OF WAY PLANS TO REVIEW IT WILL STILL NEED TO REVIEW ONCE WE GET THOSE TWO THINGS THEIR APPROVAL WILL START RIGHT OF WAY AUTHOR ACQUISITION ON IT BRIAN DEEPER RIGHT AS COMPLETE MARTIN LUTHER KING WE'VE STARTED THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION PROCESS ON IT WE'RE STILL GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS SOME COORDINATION WITH D.O.T. ON THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS SALEM ROAD WE'VE SUBMITTED PRELIMINARY RIGHT OF WAY PLANS TO D.O.T. WE'VE GOTTEN COMMENTS SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT TO GET THAT RESOLVED. WE CAN START THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION ON IT AND THEN. STEWART POINT THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION IS OUR WORKING THROUGH WITH THE COUNTY ONCE WE KNOW THAT ALL COMBINATIONS HAVE BEEN FILED 30 DAYS IS LAPSED WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET TO CONSTRUCTION ON IT THIS SPRING AND START THE CONSTRUCTION IT THAT'S IT UNLESS THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE SIDEWALKS AND PATHWAYS ANYBODY ONLINE HOW MANY QUESTIONS SUPER SIMPLE TODAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT.

[7.b. Presentation of Energy Initiatives in County Facilities (For Information Only) (FISCAL IMPACT: N/A) - Frank Stroncheck, Facilities Director & Billy Balckburn, Harris Controls]

WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR SECOND PRESENTATION TODAY OF ENERGY INITIATIVES IN COUNTY FACILITIES. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.

BEFORE I INTRODUCE BILLY BLACKBURN WITH HARRIS CONTROLS ,JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO THINGS. FIRST I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT BILLY IS GOING TO TALK TO US ABOUT SAVING THE COUNTY. THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT WHAT BILLY'S ABOUT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO US TWO INCREDIBLE TEAM MEMBERS IN THE FACILITY DEPARTMENT VANESSA THE OFFICE MANAGER AND OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR JASON MESSINGER . WELL NO PRESSURE BUT THAT INTRODUCTION.

HI, MY NAME'S BILLY. THANK YOU FOR MAKING TIME FOR ME TO COME TODAY.

OKAY, SO WHAT A WHAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT TODAY IS ENERGY MANAGEMENT UPDATE PARIS INTEGRATION SOLUTIONS HAS BEEN A LONG TERM VENDOR OF BEAUFORT COUNTY ABOUT 20 YEARS AND WE'VE BEEN SLOWLY PUTTING IN OUR DDC CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR BUILDINGS IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR WE WERE HIRED TO BE ENERGY CONSULTANTS ON THE THAT WE'VE BEEN PUTTING IN AND TO HELP WITH ENERGY INITIATIVES WITH THESE INITIATIVES THE FIRST THING WE DO IS START ANALYZING WE START REVIEWING UTILITY BILLS WHICH IS A LOT OF FUN AND IMPLEMENTING BUILT IN STRATEGIES. SO AND THE GOAL IS BASICALLY TO REDUCE ENERGY WITHOUT WITHIN THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE CONTROLLING KNOW THAT WE'RE REDUCING ENERGY SO FROM THE LEADERSHIP FROM VANESSA AND JASON LIKE HE MENTIONED WE WERE ABLE TO GO BACK IN TIME AND

[00:10:01]

LOOK AND SEE WHAT BEAUFORT HAS BEEN DOING FOR HIS ENERGY LAST YEAR FOR 2025 AND WHERE WE GOING IN 2026. SO LAST YEAR THEY DID A GOOD JOB.

THEY DID A GOOD JOB OVER REVIEWING UTILITY BILLS, HELPING WITH THE OPERATION EFFICIENCY AND THE SAVINGS THEY HAVE WAS QUITE LAST YEAR SAVINGS WAS ABOUT $100,000.

NOW WHERE THEY GOT THAT FROM IS FROM A GUY DID A LED LIGHTING UP SAVE ENERGY TOO.

YOU GET A BETTER PRODUCT, YOU GET A BETTER LIGHT. THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE BUILDING IS A LOT BETTER AND THEN THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF TRYING TO IMPROVE AWARENESS . THE OTHER PART THEY'VE DONE IS EXPANDED OUR SYSTEM OUR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CURRENTLY NOW WHERE OUR FOOTPRINT IS IN 22 BUILDINGS FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY THAT ALLOWS THEM TO HAVE THE REAL TIME MONITORING THE OPERATIONS SIDE THAT THEY WANT AND NOW WE'RE HAVING THE FACILITY SIDE THAT THEY WANT BY DOING THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT.

SO WE TOOK OVER OR I SHOULDN'T SAY WE TOOK OVER WE STARTED IN JANUARY WITH OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND WE STARTED DOING SCHEDULING. WE STARTED DOING SET POINTS.

THERE IS A GUIDELINES THAT WE USE AS ASH RAY. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ALL HEARD THAT IT IS A GOVERNMENT GUIDELINE THAT IS FOR OUR INDUSTRY AND IT IS THE ENGINEERING SOCIETY OF AMERICA IS WHAT THAT IS AND THEY PUT ENERGY STRATEGY GUIDELINES OUT THAT'S SAFE TO HOW YOU SHOULD MAINTAIN A BUILDING. SO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS WE HAVE SAVED $17,000 WITH ACTUAL THAT WE PUT MONEY BACK IN THE BUDGET JUST FROM DOING GUIDELINE 36 SCHEDULING SET POINTS JUST AS ENERGY ANALYSIS AND OUR COST AVOIDANCE 22,000 AND DON'T GET WORRIED WE'RE NOT DOING FUNNY MATH AVOIDANCE IS REALLY WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE SAVE IF WE ARE PAYING MORE FOR POWER IN THIS YEAR 2026 THAN WE DID BASELINE 2025. SO IF ALL THINGS WAS EQUAL AND WE USED THE SAME POWER WE WOULD HAVE SAVED 22,000 BUT INSTEAD WE PUT GRAND IN THE BUDGET. THIS IS WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE JUST REALLY GETTING KICKED OFF ANY QUESTIONS SO THANKS AND WILL THIS BE IN OUR PACKET FOR THE MINUTES PRESENTATIONS? OKAY.

THANK YOU. OH JOE HAS SOME IT'S JOE. YES IT'S YOURS IN YOUR PROGRAM DO YOU HAVE A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ABOUT MANAGING ALL OF THE HVAC SYSTEMS MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE FILTERS ARE CHANGED IN A TIMELY FASHION OR THE MATTER BECAUSE THAT YOU KNOW IS COST EFFICIENT BY HAVING CLEAN AIR? YES, SIR, IT IS. WE ACTUALLY DO AND AS WE'RE UNPACKING THE SYSTEM WE WILL GET THERE WHERE THERE WILL BE A MAINTENANCE INVOLVED IN THAT WHERE WE DO THAT ON DEMAND AND THEN ALSO WE'LL START DOING FTD IS AN AIR PROGRAM THAT IS LOOKING FOR FAULT DETECTION AND WITHIN THAT WE CAN KNOW CAPACITY OF EQUIPMENT BECAUSE.

A UNIT THAT IS NOT EFFICIENT IS GOING TO COST US 20% MORE TO RUN THAN A UNIT THAT IS SO THOSE STEPS ARE COMING. THIS IS A CRAWL WALK RUN PROCESS FOR SURE AND WE'RE CRAWLING. WE'RE JUST NOW GETTING STARTED BUT YES SIR WE WILL GET THERE.

OKAY, GOOD QUESTION. HOW ABOUT THE LIGHTING SYSTEMS WHERE YOU KNOW FOR SPACES UP AND THERE'S NOBODY THERE, IT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ITSELF OFF ? YES. OR CURRENTLY YOU HAVE SOME LIGHTING SYSTEMS IN PLACE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT SEEING WHAT WE CAN UPGRADE AND WHAT WE CAN LOOK AT TO GET THOSE SYSTEMS INTO THE 21ST CENTURY FOR WE CAN GET THEM TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL A LITTLE EASIER FOR THE FACILITY PEOPLE WE'RE LOOKING INTO THAT NOW AND EVENTUALLY LIGHTING WOULD BE PART OF THAT 20% OF A OF A NORMAL BILL FOR A COMMERCIAL SPACE IS LIGHTING SO THERE'S THERE'S REAL MONEY THERE THAT CAN SAVE GOOD THANK YOU THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ANYTHING ELSE FOR YOU GUYS TO ADD? ALL SET.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL CLOSE THE DISCUSSION PORTION, MOVE ON TO OUR ACTION ITEMS. WE HAVE A FEW BECAUSE JARED BEEN BUSY.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO A APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT FOR A PARK ATLANTIC FOR COUNTY NINE YEAR RESURFACING PROJECT AND A TOTAL OF $3,836,594.16.

[00:15:06]

ALRIGHTY. PERFECT. BRIAN, I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE ME AND YOU HERE. WHAT GOT A FEW HERE. YEAH.

SO THIS IS OUR ANNUAL RESURFACING PROGRAM. THIS INCLUDES ABOUT 14 MILES OF ROAD ACROSS COUNTY. WE HAD TWO BIDDERS ON IT WERE BOTH REALLY RELATIVELY CLOSE I THINK $56,000 SEPARATED THE TWO THIS YEAR WITH AIPAC BEING THE LOW BID.

SO AGAIN THAT IS ALMOST THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS PLUS 10% CONTINGENCY FOR TOTAL ABOUT 3.8 MILLION. ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRIAN? YOU SAID WE'VE USED THIS COMPANY BEFORE. YEAH, I THINK THEY DID PROGRAM THIS IS YEAR NINE I THINK THEY DID YEAR AND IT'S B APPROVE WITH NO OBJECTION. ALL RIGHT AND THAT'S THE LIST OF THE ROADS UP THERE AS WELL. AND THIS WAS APPROVED BY CTSI, A SPECIAL MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ON THE FEBRUARY FIFTH. PERFECT.

APPROVED WITH NO OBJECTION WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE APPROVED OF A CONTRACT FOR API ATLANTIC TO HAEG POINT ROAD IN FRONT OF THE FUSCHIA ISLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH THE COST OF $425,150 THE MOTION THANK YOU, MR. LAWSON. A SECOND A SECOND HEADED BY MISS BROWN ALL, RIGHT? YEAH. SO THIS IS THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE FIRE STATION ON THE FIRST KEY ON OLD HAIG ROAD. IT'S SEEN SOME DETERIORATION OVER LAST FEW YEARS. THEY'VE DONE SOME INTERMEDIATE REPAIRS TRY TO GET IT GOING BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A FINAL REPAIR TO THEM OVER THERE AND ACTUALLY RESURFACE THIS WE PUT IT OUT TO BID AIPAC WAS THE ONLY BIDDER JUST DO THE LOGISTICS AND MOBILIZATION TO GET OVER THE FIRST KEY SO THEIR BID IS THROUGH OUR 386,500 PLUS 10% CONTINGENCY THAT'S 350,000 FROM A APPROVED CIP. THE REST OF IT WILL COME OUT OF OUR TAG ACCOUNT.

I THINK IT'S GROSS. YEAH, IT'S JUST THAT SECTION IN FRONT OF THE FIRE STATION MAYBE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN TOWARDS THE NEXT INTERSECTION RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THIS BE APPROVED WITH NO OBJECTION AS WELL AND NO ONE ON THE SCREEN

[8.c. Approval of a Task Order with Kimley Horn for design services for a right turn lane on Ladys Island Drive to Ribaut Road. ($151,205.00) (FISCAL IMPACT: The task order fee is $151,205.00.

THIS IS ALSO APPROVED WITH NO OBJECTION ONE ITEM C APPROVAL OF A TASK ORDER WITH KIMBERLY HORNE FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR A RIGHT TURN LANE ON LADIES ISLAND DRIVE TO RIBAUT ROAD $151,205 OF A MOTION PUT ON FLOOR MOTION. MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.

AND A SECOND ABOUT MR. LAWSON AND YES, THIS IS THE INTERSECTION LIAISON DRIVE AND RIBAUT ROAD. I THINK EVERYONE'S SEEN THERE ARE SOME ISSUES THERE SO CAMERON ALREADY HAS THE CONTRACT TO DO THE TURN LANE GOING FROM THE DESIGN FOR THE TURNPIKE COMING FROM RIBOT ON THE LEES ISLAND DRIVE THIS IS THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD OFF ELLIE'S ISLAND TURNING RIGHT ON ARRIVAL WHERE THE PARKERS PROPERTY WAS.

SO NOW THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT ONE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT WITH THE INTENT OF BEING ABLE TO BUILD BOTH AT THE SAME TIME ONCE EVER WE GET THROUGH DESIGN AND PERMITTING ON IT. THIS IS JUST DESIGN ASPECT. THIS IS JUST DESIGN A PERMITTING YES SIR. DO WE HAVE ANY BALLPARK OF WHAT WE'RE THINKING COST WISE? PROBABLY GOING TO BE ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF TO TWO MILLIONS PER TURN LANE PROBABLY OR PER TURN LANE YES. SO 3 MILLION IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT 3 TO 4 MILLION.

OKAY. OVERALL GOT MY MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THIS I KNOW THERE'S ONE OF OUR OWN CALLED CONTRACTS BUT MONTHS FROM ISSUANCE OF THE NOTICE TO PROCEED I FEEL LIKE IF WE'RE PAYING $151,000 FOR DESIGN PERMITTING THEY BE ABLE TO GET TO IT A LOT QUICKER IN 18 MONTHS ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY'VE ALREADY ANALYZED THAT INTERSECTION. IT'S JUST LOOKING AT IT FROM THE OTHER SIDE YOU KNOW MOST OF THAT IS NOT ACTUALLY CAMILLI HORN'S TIME THAT'S MOST OF IT'S THE PERMITTING TIME THEY ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF THE SURVEY THEY WANT TO GET ADDITIONAL SURVEY BUT THEY'RE READY TO GO ON IT SO THIS IS MOST OF THAT TIME IS BUILT IN FOR PERMITTING TO GO THROUGH DFS AND ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND THE FACT THAT IT WAS A GAS STATION THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION THAT WOULD BE NEEDED IF YOU KNOW IF THEY DO A PHASE ONE SIDE ASSESSMENT, IF SHOWS THEY NEED TO GO FURTHER AND DO A PHASE TWO THAT COULD ADD TO THE TIME ALSO. BUT YEAH, MOST OF THAT'S PERMITTING SO AND CAN YOU JUST HELP ME EXPLAIN YOU KNOW WE KEEP SEEING THESE FOR THESE CONSULTANTS, YOU KNOW, 150 PLUS THOUSAND EVEN WE DID 156,000 FOR A 12 ACRE PARK DESIGN CAN. YOU HELP ME JUST TO JUSTIFY THAT IN MY MIND. HOW IS IT THAT EXPENSIVE FOR A TURN LANE I MEAN YOU'RE SAYING I KNOW I KNOW THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO IT BUT I JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO JUSTIFY THIS

[00:20:02]

AND THIS EXPENDITURE ON IT. YEAH I MEAN SO WE'RE LOOKING AT I KNOW THE QUESTION CAME UP WITH THE BOAT LANDINGS WE WERE DOING PREVIOUSLY I MEAN THEY'RE LOOKING AT FOUR OR $5,000.

A LOT OF THIS IS JUST SPECIALIZED ENGINEERING THAT IS VERY YOU GOT TO HAVE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING. THERE'S A LOT OF UTILITIES INVOLVED WITH IT AS FAR AS SIGNALIZATION AND MAKING THE FREE FLOW WORK. SO YEAH OF IT IS JUST ENGINEERING COSTS AND THEN PERMITTING THAT GOES IN INTO IT SO YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING BETWEEN TWO AND $300 AN HOUR FOR A PROJECT MANAGER ON IT AND THEN EVEN FOR A YOU KNOW KIND OF MID-LEVEL ENGINEER YOU'RE LOOKING AT $150 AN HOUR OR SO SO IT ADDS UP QUICK ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU START GETTING INTO UTILITIES. THIS INTERSECTION HAS EVERY UTILITY IN THE WORLD GAS THERE'S POWER. THERE'S ALL THESE THINGS FOR THE EXISTING SIGNALS WATER. SO IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO GET THROUGH THERE, A LOT OF EFFORT TO DO THE SURVEYS AND KIND OF MAKE EVERYTHING WORK. SO THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THAT COST IS COMING FROM. AND IS THE COST HIGHER THE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES VERSUS THE PRIVATE SECTOR? I ACTUALLY JUST REVIEWED THE COST ANALYSIS FOR A POTENTIAL PRIVATE PARK BUILT OUT AND IT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN WHAT THE PUBLIC SECTOR IS PAYING. YEAH, IT DEPENDS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE AND THERE ARE OTHER YOU KNOW HOOPS THAT WE HAVE JUMP THROUGH AS FAR AS WORKING WITH DOD AND THE UTILITIES ON THERE WE'RE OBLIGATED TO PAY IF THERE IS A WATERLINE RELOCATION WE'RE OBLIGATED PAY 4% OF THE PROJECT COST TOWARD THAT WATERLINE RELOCATION THROUGH ACT 36 WHICH THAT'S ONLY FOR PUBLIC ENTITIES DOING INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT A INDUSTRY IS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY. SO TAKEN INTO SOME THAT AND SOME OF THE HOOPS WE'RE HAVING TO GO THROUGH WITH D.O.T., IT PROBABLY IS A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPENSIVE I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE ANY TYPE OF TIMEFRAME ON THIS.

I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY YOU WOULD TRY TO HIM UP TO ONE PROJECT YEAH I BELIEVE COUNCILMAN SAID EIGHT MONTHS IS WHAT WE HAVE ON THERE FOR THE TIME FRAME SO HOPEFULLY IF WE CAN FIND FUNDING MOVE FOR CONSTRUCTION AND A YEAR 18 MONTHS WE CAN BE LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PUTTING A BID OUT. YEAH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS IN THIS BE APPROVED TO SEND FORWARD WITH NO OBJECTION I'M ALL RIGHT THIS WILL ALSO BE APPROVED APPROVED BECAUSE OF THAT COST OF 151 STARS 150 OR 200 YEARS.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO OKAY THAT'S FINE JUST FOR THE SENSE OF DISCUSSION LIKE HE BROUGHT UP THOUGH CAN WE BRING THIS FORWARD STILL AS A CONSENT ITEM IN CASE ANYBODY DOES WANT TO PULL IT OFF FOR DISCUSSION BECAUSE KNOW IT'S A BIG ONE FOR THE PUBLIC OVER THERE IN THAT AREA ESPECIALLY WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY JUST DID AS WELL.

SO ALICE, IF YOU'RE OKAY IF WE CAN PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA WAY THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.

GET IT DONE. YEAH, PERFECT. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED. NO OBJECTION.

SO APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT FOR MEAD AND HUNT FOR BUCKWALTER INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN AND PERMITTING FOR $168,298 A MOTION TO PUT THIS ON THE FLOOR AS WELL MAKE THAT MOTION ALL RIGHT I'LL TAKE THE FIRST BY MR. LAWSON, SECOND BY MR. BROWN.

ALL RIGHT. THIS IS ON THE FLOOR. YEAH.

AND SO THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BUCKWALTER CORRIDOR OVER BY REC CENTER BETWEEN AG MCCRACKEN CIRCLE NORTH AND MCCRACKEN CIRCLE WITH IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE COMING TO BRACE AND THE ADDITION OF ADDITIONAL FIELDS AND PARKING. THIS IS TO MAINTAIN ACCESS MANAGEMENT THROUGH THERE TO KEEP TRAFFIC MOVING AND SAFE SO THAT'S GOING INCLUDE IMPROVEMENTS TO BOTH OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS ACCESS MANAGEMENT AS FAR AS CLOSING IN SOME SECTIONS OF MEDIAN BETWEEN THE TWO AND THEN ALSO A NEW CONNECTION ROAD FROM RACE DOWN TO OLD BRIDGE ROAD ON THE SOUTHERN END AND A COUPLE OF BULB FOR U-TURN MOVEMENTS SO AND WILL BE COMING OUT OF IMPACT FEES SOUTH BROAD ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE IDEA THAT'S DRAWN DOWN DRIVEN DOWN THERE KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING THINGS AT FOUR MORE FIELDS. WE'RE DISCUSSING MAYBE TEN IF I'M LUCKY IF I'M LUCKY IT'S TEN ON MS. GERMAN SO I GO BACK SO THE SAME AMOUNT THAT WE'RE PAYING ON THE OTHER ONE THIS ONE SIX MONTHS OF WORK PROPOSAL AFTER THE INITIAL ISSUANCE THE NOTICE TO PROCEED WHERE'S THE DISCREPANCY COMING DOWN ON THAT ONE DOES THIS NOT NEED TO GET PERMITTING IT DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH PERMITTING THE AREA DISTURBANCE HAS GOT TO BE LESS AND THEN IT'S FURTHER AWAY FROM A RECEIVING BODY OF WATER SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME PERMITTING LEVEL. AS FAR AS CTC AND THE OTHER YOU KNOW, ALPHABET SOUP THAT IT HAS TO GO THROUGH. SO THAT'S A BIG PART OF IT AND .

IT'S NOT DOTTIE IT'S ALL COUNTY ROAD SO THAT YOU KNOW, EXPEDITES IT ALSO IN FACT I DON'T KNOW I'M ASKING IF THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE AS MANY BUSINESSES EITHER AROUND IT THAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH LANDOWNERS I MEAN MOST OF THAT AROUND THAT BUCKWALTER THAT

[00:25:04]

SECTION ALL DONE IT'S ALL THE SCHOOL AND YEAH THE MAJORITY OF IT I DON'T KNOW IF WE WE WILL NEED A LITTLE BIT OF RIGHT AWAY BUT IT WILL ALL EITHER BE FROM THE TOWN OR FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SO THAT SIMPLIFIES IT AS WELL. SO I CAN THIS BE APPROVE A NO

OBJECTION NO MIND. THIS WILL ALSO BE A PROVE OF NO OBJECTION WE'RE GOING TO E APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES FOR COUNTY 2018 SALES TAX US 21 DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES MOTION WELL PUSHING A SECOND I'LL SECOND IT THANK YOU MR. LAWSON AND MR. BROWN. ALL RIGHT. YEAH.

SO THIS ONE AND THE NEXT ONE ARE ACTUALLY BOTH ESSENTIALLY CONTRACT RENEWALS FOR 2018 SALES TAX PROJECTS. THIS IS THE U.S. 21 CORRIDOR FOR STANTEC WHICH IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE WIDENING THAT MR. BRAGG SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER BY THE WALMART.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A REDUCTION IN THEIR CONTRACT FEE DO THE RE SCOPING PRIORITIZATION THAT WAS DONE IN JULY. SO THERE'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT IN FEE THERE.

YEAH. SO THIS WILL BE EXPANDED EXTENDING THEIR CONTRACT FOR IT AS THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET FINISHED WITH THE OKAY JUST BECAUSE OF THE REPRIORITISATION AND ADDITIONAL THINGS WITH PERMITTING AND SCOPE CHANGES.

SO YEAH IS THIS THE SAME CONCEPT THAT IT WAS TALKING ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WITH THEY DIDN'T SPEND THE FUNDS THEY'RE NOT FISCAL YEAR SO IT'S GOT TO BE THE NEXT WE JUST HAVE TO ROLL IT OVER TO THE NEXT. YEAH ALL THE FUNDS ARE STILL THERE IT'S JUST AGAIN JUST EXTENDING THE CONTRACT SO ANY YEAH.

GOING BACK TO IT SO I SEE THIS I UNDERSTAND IS TO RENEW AND I SEE THE NONCOMPETITIVE FORM IN HERE REGARDING THE RENEWAL PORTION BUT AND AND I APPRECIATE THE REDUCTION WITH THE WITH THE SMALLER SCOPE BUT I TELL YOU AND I'M NOT TRYING TO KNOCK THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING BUT IN THE COMMUNITY THE DESIGN SOME OF THE DESIGNS THAT THEY PUT FORWARD HAVE NOT BEEN WELL RECEIVED AND THEY'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO PUSH FORWARD I BELIEVE THEY DID THE SUNSET.

MILLER DESIGN WITH ALL THE ROUNDABOUTS. YOU SAW WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAD.

THEY DID LIKE THAT. YES. YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE NECESSARILY NEED TO GO OUT BACK OUT TO BID BUT WHY IS IT WHY ARE WE ABLE TO RENEW THAT AFTER IT'S EXPIRED FROM FIVE YEARS AGO WITHOUT HAVING TO GO BACK TO BID? SO SUNSET MILLER IS IN THE ACCESS ROADS THAT'S ACTUALLY AN ITEM F WELL I'M JUST STANDING SINCE JULY 21 THE CONTRACT AND THIS IS I MEAN I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN ANY REAL PUSHBACK ON THE WIDENING OF IT AND THIS IS THE RE SCOPING OF THE INTERSECTION AT 802 AND 21 BASED ON WHAT THE ORIGINAL PLAN AND THERE ARE SOME HOLD UP YOU KNOW TRY AND TAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE BRIDGE ORIGINALLY THEN THAT GOT RESOLD BECAUSE THERE WAS PUSHBACK ON THAT.

SO YOU KNOW A LOT THIS IS NOT MEETING THE SCHEDULE THAT WAS SET JUST BECAUSE OF YOU KNOW, SCOPE CHANGES OR THE PUSHBACK THAT WAS RECEIVED IN PREVIOUS PUBLIC MEETINGS HAVING TO GO BACK TO RE SCOPE AND MOVE IT FURTHER DOWN. SO THAT'S RIGHT THAT WAS STANTEC THAT TRIED TO EXPAND IT TO SHUT DOWN THE FILLING STATION RIGHT.

NOT NOT INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO SHUT IT DOWN. I THINK THERE WAS A WIDENING THROUGH THERE. YEAH THAT'S MY BAR BUT AND THEN ALSO KIND OF PROTECTING AND THAT CAME FROM A PREVIOUS STUDY THAT WAS DONE SO THAT'S WHERE THAT CAME FROM BUT AGAIN YOU KNOW WHEN THERE WAS PUSHBACK ON THAT THEY RE SCOPED AND STARTED LOOKING AT OTHER ALTERNATIVES SO LIKE SAID I GO BACK IF IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE WE DID THE BID AND I GET THIS IS A REDUCTION IN THE FEE ON THIS ONE IS IT COMMON PRACTICE TO JUST RENEW WITHOUT A COMPETITIVE BID? I MEAN I THINK AT THIS POINT IF YOU WENT AND PUT IT OUT TO BID YOU'D BE LOSING EVEN MORE TIME. I THINK WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO SUBMIT TO DOT FOR RIGHT AWAY AND CONSTRUCTION APPROVAL THIS YEAR I THINK WE MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE SECOND QUARTER 2026 IN THERE SO WE'RE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO CONSTRUCTION ON THIS ONE.

HAVE SOME FUN. YEAH I THINK I SAY CRAZY THINGS UP HERE SOMETIMES HEY I JUST I JUST THINK FROM THE HEART YEAH . ALL RIGHT.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS CONTRACT RENEWAL? I HAVE TO SAY I DON'T GET THROWN OFF VERY UP HERE BUT DAVID JUST THREW ME OFF ON THAT ONE.

ALL RIGHT. CAN THIS BE APPROVED WITH? NO OBJECTION.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE FORWARD THIS CONTRACT RENEWAL NO OBJECTION.

I MEAN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE, MR. CHAIR, BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT HERE WE GO BACK TO DH AND JUST CLARIFY DID YOU WANT THAT APPROVED OF COMMITTEE LEVEL? DID YOU ALSO WANT THAT TO GO TO COUNCIL SO THAT ONE MORE TIME MEMBER? DH YEAH, THE ONE VOTE THAT APPROVED A COMMITTEE LEVEL BECAUSE THAT'S WITHIN YOUR AUTHORITY OR DID YOU ALSO WANT THAT TO GO TO COUNCIL JUST LIKE YOU DID? CHARLIE I THINK WE WOULD LIKE IT TO GO TO COUNCIL SO THERE IS ANY DISCUSSION BASED ON FACT OF WHY WE JUST PURCHASED THAT PROPERTY AND TWO WE'RE TRYING TO MARRY UP TO DIFFERENT PROJECTS TOGETHER JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT PUBLIC HAS SOME IDEA OF IT ON THAT.

D YEAH, THAT'S DIFFERENT. B THE ONE BLOCK AFTER OH. BUCKWALTER NO, I'M FINE WITH SELECT APPROVED. OKAY. SORRY YEAH I WAS LOOKING AT THE

WE ARE REPLACING OR MODERNIZING FOR ELEVATORS THAT ARE IN DIRE STRAITS.

REALLY ABOUT 30 YEARS OLD AND 25 YEARS IS ABOUT THE ANTICIPATED TIME THAT YOU NEED TO REALLY MODERNIZE ELEVATORS. SO THE FIRST TWO THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING MODERNIZE WILL BE THE HUMAN SERVICES ELEVATORS AND WE'RE GOING TO DO ONE AT A TIME.

WE ANTICIPATE ABOUT SIX WEEKS PER ELEVATOR CONTRACTS UP TO NINE BUT THEY FEEL CONFIDENCE 4 TO 6 WEEKS IS REALLY WHEN THEY CAN GET IT DONE. SO WE'LL START WITH ONE KEEPING THE OTHER ONE OPERATIONAL WITHIN THE FACILITY THEN SWITCH OUT AND TAKE CARE OF THE OTHER ELEVATOR. WE'LL DO THE SAME THING OVER HERE AFTER WE'RE DONE WITH HUMAN SERVICES WITH THE TWO ELEVATORS HERE AT THE ADMIN BUILDING SAME THING TAKE CARE OF ONE ELEVATOR AT A TIME SO THAT WE HAVE ONE THAT'S ALWAYS OPERATIONAL.

THERE'S A PLAN DO ONE IN EACH BUILDING AT A TIME. I CAN WORK CONTINUALLY THAT'S THAT'S THE PLAN SO THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING TO IT SAME TIME ONE IN EACH BUILDING.

OKAY YES SIR. AND WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME TO START? THE TIME FRAME TO START WILL BE FOUR WEEKS AFTER APPROVAL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I KNOW I USED THIS ELEVATOR IN THIS BUILDING. I TAKE THE STAIRS SO I DON'T BLAME YOU ALREADY THIS WILL BE APPROVED WITH NO OBJECTION. RIGHT?

THIS PORTION OF THE CONTRACT IS JUST FOR THE DESIGN AND WE WILL DO MUCH LIKE STATION 39 WHENEVER WE RECEIVE THE PROPOSAL BACK FROM FOR CONSTRUCTION FROM NEXT CONSTRUCTION WE WILL COME BACK AND AMEND THE CONTRACT AT THAT TIME AS WELL. SO THIS WILL GET US THROUGH CONSTRUCTION YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT WE HAVE A PRE-CONSTRUCTION FEES AND ALSO CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION IS NOTED IN THAT AS WELL WE WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED THAT AT THIS TIME ALREADY DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OVER THIS ABOUT YEAH OBVIOUSLY THIS IS EXCITING TO SEE THIS MOVE FORWARD THE PEOPLE OF THE FUNKY WOULD LIKE TO ACTUALLY HAVE SOME SAY AND KNOW WE'VE SENT THEM A PRELIMINARY DRAWING ALREADY WHAT WE'RE THINKING SO HOW DO WE HOW DO WE GET INPUT FROM THEM OR WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR INPUT OR FOR SHOW THEM WHAT THE DESIGN IS OR A MEETING OR A

[00:35:02]

ZOOM MEETING THAT WE CAN INVITE PEOPLE TO OR SO AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PROCESS WE CAN CERTAINLY SHARE WITH THEM THE DESIGN THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. WE HAVE A BASIS OF DESIGN THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH NEXT CONSTRUCTION TO BASICALLY WORK FROM AND ONCE WE GET MORE INTO IT WE CAN CERTAINLY SET UP A MEETING WITH THE FIRST GARLAND COUNCIL TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE PROPOSED. CERTAINLY THERE IS A COMMUNITY CENTER ASPECT OF IT AS YOU MAY WELL KNOW THERE'S THE HEALTH ASPECT OF IT. SO WE'RE TAKING ALL THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND CERTAINLY A AS A PLANNED MEETING SPACE AREA.

SO WE CERTAINLY WANT TO HAVE IT EXPANSIVE AS WELL SO THAT IT CAN CERTAINLY HOLD FUNCTIONS THEY WOULD WANT TO PUT ON THERE. THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

YES, SIR. GOOD. WELL, I COULDN'T GET THE RFP TO OPEN THIS ONE. WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE OVERALL SCOPE OF WHAT WE'RE APPROVING WHETHER OR NOT BE DOING OKAY? THE OVERALL SCOPE OF WHAT WE'RE APPROVING IS JUST THE DESIGN PORTION OF A DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE EVERYTHING FROM SITE WORK THROUGH CONSTRUCTION DESIGN SITE WORK CONSTRUCTION PERMITTING IS ALL GOING TO BE DONE THROUGH THIS CONTRACT. THIS IS FOR THE DESIGN PORTION ONLY SO NO NO BUILD OUT ON THAT NOT CURRENTLY. OKAY THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS MOVED ARPA FUNDS AT ONE TIME SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THE THREE COMMUNITIES CENTERS THE ONE IN SAINT HELENA BELTON AND THEN THE FUNKY AND WE MOVED THIS FROM THE ARPA FUNDS AND PINKY'S ARE FUNDING AVAILABLE WE HAVE FUNDING IN PLACE FOR THIS CURRENTLY 2560 SO THERE IS FUNDING BUT IT HAS TO BE APPROVED OBVIOUSLY BY US. WHEN WILL THIS BE FINISHED? COMPLETED SO THIS IS AGAIN AN 18 TO 24 MONTH PROJECT BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 9 TO 12 MONTHS OF DESIGN. SO THEN ONCE WE GO TO CONSTRUCTION THEN AGAIN ANOTHER 12 MONTHS OF CONSTRUCTION AND I'M JUST GUESSING HERE BUT I'M ASSUMING WE DIDN'T GET A LOT OF BIDS CONSIDERING AND SINOFSKY SO WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED FOUR PROPOSALS THIS WAS SENT OUT UNDER AN RFP. WE DID RECEIVE FOUR PROPOSALS TWO MADE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND.

DID TWO ROUNDS OF SCORING AND NYX WAS CHOSEN AS THE FINAL CHAIRMAN FOR ME ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS THAT KIND OF RED FLAG IN MY MIND ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WE USE THE COMPANY HERE I BELIEVE IT WAS FOR A BATHROOM BRUCE ACTUALLY IT WAS $350,000 FOR A SMALL BATHROOM.

SURE. FOR THE BUILD OUT I'M I'M CONCERNED JUST WITH THE OVERALL COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AND AND MOVING FORWARD WITH THEM. WE'VE HAD OTHER WITH NICK'S CONSTRUCTION AND FEEL AND CERTAINLY FEEL GREAT WITH WORKING WITH THEM ON OTHER I THINK AT THAT TIME THAT WAS A STAND ALONE ONE THAT WE WE RECEIVED ONE BID IT WAS DURING COVID RIGHT AFTER AND PRICES WERE ESCALATING VERY QUICKLY AND IT WAS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAN JUST THE BATHROOMS. YES, I DO AGREE IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE I ACTUALLY TOOK A CONTRACTOR FOR FRIEND THERE AND I HAD HIM LOOK AT IT AND HE SAYS AM MAYBE 120 550 AND THAT'S WHAT WORRIES ME. AND I LOOKED AT THE ITEMIZATION OF WHAT WE REBUILD AND THAT WORRIES ME TO A WINDOW THIS SIZE WAS $4,000 WELL I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE ACTUAL ESTIMATE THAT KNOW THAT YOU RECEIVED BUT WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO IF YOU LOOK AT THE CONTRACT SO WE HAVE PUT SOME STIPULATIONS IN THERE AS AS WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING TO BE BUILT OUT AND PUT SOME LIMITATIONS THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT SO YES, ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT.

CAN THIS BE APPROVED? OBJECTION. ALL RIGHT.

THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD AS WELL WITH NO OBJECTION THIS WILL HAVE TO GO COUNTY COUNCIL.

CHAIRMAN SECOND THAT RIGHT SECONDED BY MR. LAWSON.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON MR. CHAIR AND COMMITTEE DILLON KIDD, DEPUTY COUNTY ATTORNEY HERE WITH YOU ON THIS PROJECT.

THIS IS ONE THAT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND WE'RE FINALLY GETTING READY TO CONSUMMATE IT WITH COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL'S APPROVAL I HAVE WITH ME TODAY MR. CLAUDE HICKS FROM THE BGH TEAM AND, MR. RUSSELL BAXLEY FROM BMA EACH TO SPEAK TO YOU

[00:40:01]

ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF THE PROJECT ONE THING I WANTED TO NOTE THIS IS WE CURRENTLY HAVE IT STRUCTURED AS WE DO FOR AFFORDABLE AND WORKFORCE HOUSING PROJECTS WITH OUR STANDARD COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS THAT GO FORWARD ATTACHED TO THE DEED THEY LIMIT THE THEY THEY REQUIRE THAT THE BE BUILT IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING FROM IT AND THAT IT REMAIN FOR 30 YEARS TO BE USED FOR ATTAINABLE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING HERE THERE'S ALSO IN RELEVANT PART ONE THING THAT THE PARTIES HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING IS THE TIME FRAME THAT COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SEE. AND SO THAT'S ONE THING I WANTED TO FLAG FOR YOU ON THE FRONT END SO THAT BY THE TIME WE GET TO COUNCIL WE CAN HAVE SOME CERTAINTY AS TO THAT TERM. CURRENTLY WE HAVE OUR STANDARD PROVISION IN THERE IN THE COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS STATING THAT IT HAS TO BE DEVELOPED WITHIN THREE YEARS OF APPROVAL SPEAKING WITH BGH TI I THINK THEY MAY BE SEEKING SOME ADDITIONAL TIME.

THIS IS A FIVE PARCEL TRANSFER. IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT OF A PROJECT AND WE'VE DONE PREVIOUSLY. THERE'S BEEN SOME NOTION THAT PERHAPS SUBSTANTIAL THREE YEARS FROM PERMITTING MIGHT BE DOABLE BUT I WANTED TO FLAG THAT FOR COMMITTEE AND ULTIMATELY FOR SOME DISCUSSION HERE WE GO THROUGH AND YOU HEAR FROM MR. HICKS AND OR POTENTIALLY MR. BAXLEY YEAH. DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION TO GO WITH IT OF WHAT WE'RE GOING FORWARD OR AT LEAST THE PICTURES TO PUT UP THAT WE HAD PERF PHOTOS SO WITHOUT IT THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS THE LEGAL SIDE OF IT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MR. HICKS TO SPEAK WITH HIM.

OKAY. PERFECT. OH YEAH.

MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE THIS PROJECT IS IN KEEPING WITH A THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED FOR A WHILE THAT WAS FIRST INITIATED BY THE HOSPITAL WITH RESPECT TO HOUSING FOR ITS MEDICAL STAFF NURSING STAFF PRIMARILY WE LOOKED AT IT, TALKED WITH RUSSELL PROBABLY FOR LAST YEAR ABOUT WHETHER WE COULD MOVE THIS FORWARD WHAT THE OBSTACLES WERE GOING TO BE GOING FORWARD AND HAVE CHOSEN REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THEY PROPOSE AND ADAPT THAT AND ADOPT THAT. WE KNOW THAT THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT ARE GOING TO BE PROBABLY SUBSTANTIAL. WE WERE EXPECTING MULTIPLE BIDS ON THIS WE'RE EXPECTING ALSO TO SEND OUT INITIALLY A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF TAKE OFF THOSE THAT DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY TO THE PROJECT.

THE PROJECT WILL BE OPEN INITIALLY TO MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITAL AND THEIR STAFF IF FOR SOME REASON THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT FILL THE PROJECT UP WE WOULD MOVE.

SECONDLY TO EMS FIRST RESPONDERS IF WE STILL DID NOT FILL IT UP WE WOULD GO TO TEACHERS IF WE STILL DID NOT FILL IT UP. OUR FOURTH CHOICE WOULD BE MILITARY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE OF IS THAT WE FOLLOWED A ROUTINE THAT ,WAS TRANSPARENT SO WE WILL BE FINALIZING REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONCE WE GET PERMISSION FROM THE COUNTY FOR THE ACQUISITION FOR DEVELOPERS, ARCHITECTS AND GENERAL CONTRACTORS. WE WANT TO SAY THAT WE'RE LOOKING QUALIFIED RESPONDENTS THAT ARE LOCAL BUT THE ODDS OF GETTING THAT KIND OF SLIM AND NONE BUT THAT DOESN'T WE'RE NOT GOING TO TRY WE WANT TO USE LOCAL COMPANIES DEPENDENT TOTALLY UPON THEIR CAPACITY AND THEIR EXPERIENCE. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE FINANCING STRUCTURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT WE EXPECT DEVELOPERS TO OFFER VARIOUS FINANCING MECHANISMS TO THIS BUILT WE WILL WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER THAT IS CHOSEN TO DECIDE WHICH STRUCTURE IS BEST SUITED FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROJECT WE DO NOT WANT TO LOAD THIS WITH DEBT.

WE DO NOT WANT TO LOAD IT WITH COSTS THAT IT CAN'T POSSIBLY PAY IN THE FUTURE THE PROPERTY SHALL MEET ALL LOCAL REQUIREMENTS LAND DEVELOPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH COUNTY AND CITY STANDARDS FOR JASPER HOUSING TRUST SHALL PROVIDE OVERSIGHT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE CONSTRUCTION AND WE SHALL SELECT A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT HAS THE REQUISITE EXPERIENCE AND CAPACITY TO MANAGE THIS IS PROBABLY THE IMPORTANT DECISION THAT WE WILL MAKE ASIDE FROM HOW TO BUILD IT AND WHAT THE COST IS GOING TO BE TO BUILD IT . MANAGING A PROJECT LIKE THIS IS CRITICAL AS WE ALL HAVE SEEN.

SOMETIMES THAT FAILS AND YOU HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE SO WE WANT TO BE REALLY COGNIZANT OF THAT AND REALLY FOCUS ON IT. WE SHALL PROVIDE ALL OVERSIGHT ENSURING THAT THE PROPERTY MEETS THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARDS. WE WOULD LIKE FOR COUNCIL TO
