THANKS, MAYOR COUNCIL.

UM, IT'S A UNIQUE DAY FOR US.

I WANNA SAY IT'S A BITTERSWEET DAY, BUT, UH, UH, WANNA RECOGNIZE ONE OF OUR FINEST, LISA.

GOOD PASTURE.

LISA, YOU WANNA RAISE YOUR HAND OUT BACK THERE? WE WON'T MAKE HER COME DOWN AND SPEAK UNLESS SHE REALLY WANTS TO.

BUT, UH, SHE'S BEEN WITH THE CITY 34 YEARS WHEN THE BUFFALO OR ROAMING, UH, AND EDMOND THERE.

BUT IN ALL REALITY, SHE'S BEEN A KEY, UH, ASSISTANCE FOR LITERALLY EVERY EMPLOYEE.

'CAUSE EVERY EMPLOYEE GETS TO SEE THE BENEFIT OF WHAT SHE'S DONE, WHETHER IT'S FROM THEIR HIRING, I WON'T SAY TO THEIR FIRING, BUT HIRING TO THEIR, TO, UH, PERSONAL REVIEWS TO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND THIS PAST YEAR HAS BEEN GREAT.

WE DID SOME MAJOR CHANGES TO OUR BENEFITS PROGRAMS, TO OUR PAY PLANS THAT LONG AFTER SHE'S GONE, THAT MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES WILL BENEFIT AND FUTURE EMPLOYEES WILL BENEFIT.

SO I KNOW SHE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME TIME OFF AND ENJOY HER HORSES AND DOGS.

AND I KNOW SHE FOLLOWS, AT LEAST ONE OF HER GRANDKIDS IS A BIG GOLFER AROUND THE SOUTHWEST TO GO WATCH HIM PLAY.

AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE HER FUTURE.

WE'RE SAD TO SEE HER GO.

UH, THIS WILL BE HER LAST COUNCIL MEETING AS A FULL-TIME EMPLOYER.

WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA KEEP HER FOR A LITTLE BIT TO HELP US IN THE TRANSITION, UH, BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEW FUTURE HR DIRECTOR.

BUT WE JUST WANNA TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK LISA FOR ALL SHE DOES.

SHE'S A KEY PERSON FOR ME, FOR ALL THE GOOD STUFF THAT WE DO, BUT ALSO THOSE CHALLENGING TIMES WHEN WE'RE MAYBE DOING SOME DISCIPLINARY ACTIVES AND DIFFERENT THINGS.

BUT SHE'S BEEN INVOLVED WITH UNION NEGOTIATIONS, SO SHE HAS LITERALLY HAD HER HAND PRINTS ON LITERALLY EVERY PERSON AND PERSONNEL ISSUE HERE IN THE CITY.

GOOD EVENING.

I'M CHRISTIE BATTERSON.

I'M THE STAFF LEAD FOR OUR MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE.

UM, THE RESOLUTION THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS AN EXCITING TIME.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE SPENT THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WITH OUR MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT.

NOW THE IMPLEMENTATION OF, OR STARTING PHASE FOUR, UM, WE HAVE SEVERAL PARTNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED SINCE THE ASSESSMENT AND OUR CONTINUING AND IMPLEMENTATION.

THIS GRANT IS CALLED A SYSTEM OF CARE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY FROM THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE ADMINISTRATION.

THAT'S UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND, AND HUMAN SERVICES.

UM, IT'S ONLY OPEN TO STATE, LOCAL, AND TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE THE PRIMARY LEAD ON THIS PROJECT.

UM, IT IS $1 MILLION PER YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS.

UM, THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH.

ZERO TO 21 AT RISK FOR IT WAS SERIOUS EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES IN THEIR FAMILIES OR THOSE YOUTH WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS.

UM, A SYSTEM OF CARE MODEL IS TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE AND BUILD ON CAPACITY.

UM, OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN THIS, OF COURSE, IS OURSELVES AS A LEAD, UM, ON THE APPLICATION, NORTH CARE, EDMOND FAMILY COUNSELING AND THE EDMOND PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, WE ARE GONNA BE FOCUSING ON YOUTH FROM SIX TO 21 YEARS OF AGE.

UM, AND PRIMARILY WHAT WE ARE GONNA BE DOING IS ADDING STAFF, FINDING THE GAPS THAT ARE PRESENT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

EVEN THOUGH WE'VE DONE OUR MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT, THERE ARE

[00:15:01]

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE PROVIDING THAT PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT COMMUNITY PARTNERS, UM, FOR THOSE YOUTH INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED IT.

UM, IT ALSO HAS A JUVENILE COURT, UM, PART, PART OF IT AS WELL.

SO IT'S AN ENCOMPASSING COLLABORATION THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

UM, THIS RESOLUTION SHOWS THAT OUR COMMITMENT, WE DO HAVE COMMITMENTS FROM THE THREE PRIMARY CARE PARTNERS.

UM, AND, UM, WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP OUR BUDGET UNDER $1 MILLION RIGHT NOW, , SO WE'RE ABOUT 195,000 OVER.

UM, AND IN ORDER TO GET UNDER THE, EACH COMMUNITY PARTNER IS, HAS A MATCH IN KIND SERVICES.

UM, FOR US TO STAY UNDER THE MILLION, WE WOULD NEED TO P UM, PROVIDE A MATCH OF 195,000.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, ANYTHING? THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO YEAH, THIS, OKAY, SO WE'RE STILL UNDER THE CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION ITEM.

[C. Consideration of Approval of Purchases of Vehicles, Utility Vehicles, Equipment, Beds, Toppers, and Accessories for all Departments from Various State Contracts for FY23-24; Not to Exceed the Approved Budget Amount of $3,698,222.00. (Citywide)]

HELLO SIR.

HOW ARE WE DOING TODAY? GOOD, HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.

ARE YOU GONNA GIVE US A STAFF COMMENTS ON THIS, UH, EXPENDITURE? YES, SIR.

BOB MASTERS AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

UM, THESE FUNDS ARE FOR REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLES THAT ARE ALREADY IN SERVICE.

SO THIS IS NOT ADDITIONAL VEHICLES.

THIS IS NOT ADDING TO THE FLEET.

THIS IS REPLACING EXISTING FLEET VEHICLES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

UM, IT IS FUNDED FROM THE FLEET REPLACEMENT FUND DIRECTLY.

THE FUNDS ARE ALREADY RESERVED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

AND SO NORMALLY WE DO THIS IN JULY, RIGHT AFTER THE NEW BUDGET YEAR STARTS.

WE WAITED THIS YEAR TO MAKE SURE WE COULD ACTUALLY GET THE VEHICLES WE WERE GOING TO ORDER BEFORE WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

AND THINGS ARE STARTING TO FREE UP A LITTLE BIT WHERE WE CAN GET THE VEHICLES WITHOUT HAVING TO CARRY THEM ACROSS TWO FISCAL YEARS AT A TIME.

SO, UH, WE'RE BRINGING THIS TO YOU NOW.

OKAY.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ARE YOU GETTING BACK ON TRACK FOR VEHICLES THAT YOU NEED? UM, WE'RE ABOUT 25 OR 30 BEHIND TOTAL.

UH, WE WILL GET A BIG BUNCH OF THOSE IN THIS ROUND.

UH, WE HAD A SITUATION WHERE ANOTHER CITY, UH, CANCELED THEIR TRASH TRUCK ORDER AFTER THEY WERE ALREADY IN THE QUEUE TO BE BUILT.

UM, THEY MATCH OUR SPECS AND THEY'RE DUE TO HIT THE GROUND IN 30 DAYS.

WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GRAB THOSE TWO AND NOT HAVE TO WAIT TWO YEARS FOR THE NEXT REPLACEMENTS TO SHOW UP.

SO WE'D LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT WHILE WE CAN.

YEAH.

EXCELLENT.

GOOD.

THANKS.

ARE YOU SEEING ANY RELIEF FOR, FOR LONG TERM? BECAUSE BEFORE WE HAD SUCH SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, IS THERE ANY LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUB TUNNEL THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME RELIEF COMING? THERE IS.

THE PRICES ARE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER, ABOUT 38% HIGHER IN SOME CASES FOR THE SAME VEHICLES WE WOULD'VE BOUGHT TWO YEARS AGO.

SO WE WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE LIFECYCLE IN THE FLEET AND EXTEND THE LIFE OF SOME OF THOSE TO HELP COVER THAT EXTENDED COST OVER THE PERIOD OF TIME THAT WE CAN.

VERY GOOD COUNSEL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

BOBBY.

IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, THEN I WOULD LIKE A MOTION, UH, FOR ITEM EIGHT C.

YES, SIR.

I'LL DO THAT IF WE HAVE A MOTION BY MORE SECOND.

SECOND, UH, HAS BEEN MADE.

[00:20:01]

THAT ITEM PASSED.

FOUR ZERO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UH, NOW WE ARE AT ITEM

[A. Consideration of Approval of Resolution No. ___ Adopting Fees for Use of City of Edmond Owned and Operated Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and Providing an Effective Date. (Citywide)]

EACH ITEM PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY RULES AND, UH, COMMENTS MUST BE DIRECTED TO THE MAYOR OR THE CHAIR IN THE MEETING.

FIRST ITEM IS NUMBER NINE A IS CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER FOUR DASH 24 4 DASH 24, ADOPTING FEES FOR USE OF CITY OF EDMOND OWNED AND OPERATED ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS AND PROVIDING A AN EFFECTIVE DAY.

OUR ILLUSTRIOUS ELECTRIC DIRECTOR.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GLEN FISHER, DIRECTOR OF EDMOND ELECTRIC.

WE STARTED WITH THE, UH, WORKING WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA, UH, GOVERNMENT'S ACOG BACK IN 2017 TO PARTNER ON, UM, ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS.

WE STARTED GETTING GRANTS FROM THEM BACK THEN.

THE FIRST ONE WAS AT THE HILTON GARDEN INN.

SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE ADDED 10 ADDITIONAL, UH, CHARGING STATIONS AROUND THE CITY.

UM, WE HAVE NINE LEVEL TWO CHARGES, WHICH ARE SLOWER CHARGES.

THEY'LL CHARGE, GIVE A FULL CHARGE IN ABOUT FOUR TO SIX HOURS.

AND WE HAVE ONE LEVEL THREE DC FAST CHARGER, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU A FULL CHARGE IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES L LOCATED AT THE FESTIVAL MARKETPLACE.

AND SO INITIALLY WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROGRAM IN THIS, UH, PARTNERSHIP WITH ACOG, UM, THE PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL HAD DECIDED THAT TO PROMOTE EVS AND TO PROMOTE THE CHARGING STATIONS, UM, THEY WOULD NOT CHARGE A FEE FOR THEIR USE.

SINCE THAT TIME, THE USE HAS GONE UP A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, SO THEY'RE BEING MORE POPULAR.

UH, PEOPLE KNOW THEY'RE OUT THERE, THEY'RE ON ALL THE POPULAR APPS, CHARGEPOINT APP, AND ALL THE, UM, OTHER, UH, APPS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

AND SO THE USE HAS GONE UP.

SO WE STARTED LOOKING AT A FEE FOR THE TO ASSIST FOR USE OF THE STATION.

UM, WE HAD TO MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON THE USAGE, WHAT WE PROJECTED TO USAGE.

WE ESTIMATED A 10 YEAR LIFE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CHARGER.

UM, WE LOOKED AT, UH, THE UTILIZATION FACTOR THAT'S KINDA STANDARD ACROSS THE NATION FOR THE TYPES OF CHARGING STATIONS.

AND WE LOOKED AT OUR WHOLESALE POWER PRICES, UH, WHICH ARE AROUND 6 CENTS PER KILOWATT HOUR.

SO BASED UPON THAT, BASED ON A 10 YEAR RECOVERY FOR THE OPERATION, THE INSTALLATION OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THOSE STATIONS, WE ARE LOOKING AT A FEE OF 25 CENTS PER KILOWATT HOUR FOR A LEVEL TWO AND 32 CENTS PER KILOWATT HOUR FOR A LEVEL THREE CHARGING STATION.

I WILL POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A 3 CENTS PER KILOWATT HOUR TAX, UH, UNDER STATE LAW THAT WE HAVE TO APPLY TO THE LEVEL THREE CHARGING STATIONS.

IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RATE, BUT IT WOULD BE COLLECTED AT THE STATION AND REMITTED TO THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA AS REQUIRED BY LAW.

UH, IF APPROVED, THESE RATES WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE ON APRIL 1ST.

UM, WE WILL UPDATE THE INFORMATION NOT ONLY ON THE CITY WEBSITE, BUT WE WILL ALSO WORK AT THE VARIOUS APPS, GOOGLE, ET CETERA, THAT HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FEES JUST ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHARGING STATIONS TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE ALL UPDATED.

UM, THE FEE CAN BE REVIEWED ANNUALLY AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS.

ANYTIME WE FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL, IF SOMETHING CHANGES, WE CAN DO THAT.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE PROCESS TO CHANGE THIS RATE.

NOW WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ACOG TO SEEK ADDITIONAL GRANTS FOR FUTURE CHARGING STATIONS.

WE ARE LOOKING AT, I BELIEVE, THREE FOR THE CITY CENTER COMPLEX.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THE YMCA LIBRARY PARTNERSHIP, UM, CITY PARKS, THINGS LIKE THE SPLASH PAD.

AND THEN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AROUND THE CITY AS WELL.

SO WE'LL CONTINUE THIS PROGRAM WITH ACOG.

IT'S BEEN A GOOD PROGRAM FOR US AND WE FEEL IT'S BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY.

YEAH.

YES, SIR.

GLEN, CAN YOU EXPLAIN, SO YOU'RE PROPOSING TO GO EFFECTIVE APRIL 1ST.

ARE YOU GONNA DO ANY TYPE OF NOTIFICATION AT THOSE STATIONS TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE CHANGE IS COMING OR IS IT JUST GONNA BE 1201 APRIL ONE? I WILL HAVE TO VERIFY THIS, BUT I BELIEVE WE CAN ACTUALLY PUT, THERE'S, THERE'S A LCD SCREEN ON THERE.

I THINK WE CAN PUT A MESSAGE IN THERE SAYING APRIL ONE, WE WILL START CHARGING FEES.

OKAY.

AND SAME THING WITH THE APPS.

MOST OF THE APPS WILL TELL YOU WHAT THE FEE IS AND OR IF THERE'S A PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE FEE.

THANK YOU.

AND I WOULD NATURALLY ASSUME THAT WE WOULD JUST USE OUR GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATORS THAT WE JUST HONOR THAT THEY WILL ALSO BE GETTING OUT A STORY ON IT OR SOMETHING.

VERY

[00:25:01]

ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUE COUNSEL ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? WE DID HAVE A WORKSHOP ON THIS EARLIER TODAY.

VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? HEARING NONE, SEEING NONE, I WOULD COUNSEL, I WOULD TAKE IT A, A MOTION TO ADOPT THE FEES? YES, SIR.

I'LL DO THAT.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION FOR MOORE.

SECOND.

ROBERT, LET ME READ MY LITTLE STATEMENT.

WOULD ANY COUNCIL MEMBER LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE MOTION BEFORE A VOTE IS TAKEN? ANY, NONE.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

THAT ITEM IS PASSED.

FOUR ZERO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[B. A.C. Caplinger Sports Complex at E.C. Hafer Park:]

WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE AC KAGER SPORTS COMPLEX AT AC FER PARK.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, BRAD RAINEY, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR.

UM, HERE TO PRESENT TWO ITEMS RELATED TO THE AC KAING GROUP PROJECT.

UM, MS PRESENTATION WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT I GAVE LAST MONTH, BUT TODAY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PROJECT BUDGET AND GETTING THAT SET AND THEN, UM, ENTERING INTO THE DESIGN CONTRACT TO GET THE PROJECT COMPLETELY DESIGNED SO IT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED.

SO, UM, BEFORE I GET TOO FAR INTO IT, JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES THAT I SHOWED YOU LAST MEETING.

I WON'T TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT THEM SINCE WE TALKED ABOUT 'EM AT THE LAST ONE, BUT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE PROJECT, FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN AND ASK.

UM, CURRENT PROJECT SITE THAT'S, UH, AT FER PARK OFF BRYANT, THAT'S A OVERHEAD SHOT OF THE CURRENT COMPLEX.

AND THIS IS THE CONCEPT THAT WAS APPROVED AT THE LAST MEETING THAT'S BEEN APPROVED BY SEVERAL BOARDS AND COMMITTEES AND PRESENTED IN A LOT OF PUBLIC LOCATIONS.

UM, AND THERE'S JUST KIND OF A SIDE BY SIDE, SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE LAYOUTS CHANGE AND THE PARKING EXPANDS, UM, SOME RENDERINGS OF, OF WHAT IT'LL LOOK LIKE PROVIDED TO US BY THE ARCHITECT OF IF JUST FLIP THROUGH THESE ENTRYWAY.

SO WHERE WE'RE AT NOW, AT THE, AT THE LAST MEETING, YOU ALL APPROVED THAT CONCEPT THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU.

AND THEN WE ALSO ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, UM, WHICH WAS CROSSLAND CONSTRUCTION.

AND, UM, WHAT WE ASKED THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK TO DO WAS TO, UM, TAKE A LOOK AT THE OPINION OF COSTS FROM THE ARCHITECT AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S LINING UP BEFORE WE GET INTO THE PROJECT.

UM, SO THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND THEIR ESTIMATES FOR CONSTRUCTION, UM, DID ALIGN WITH WHAT THE ARCHITECT, UH, PROJECTED FOR COSTS.

UM, THEY RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL DESIGN CONTINGENCY BECAUSE WE ARE SETTING A PROJECT BUDGET IN THE CONCEPTUAL PHASE.

SO THAT'S KIND OF A BREAKDOWN UP THERE OF, UM, OF HOW THE PROJECT BUDGET BREAKS DOWN.

16.1 MILLION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND THAT HAS CONTINGENCIES INCLUDED AND ADDED IN THERE DESIGN OF 1.3 MILLION.

SO THAT'S THE CONTRACT WITH HALF THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU FOR APPROVAL.

UM, 0.1 OR A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION FOR, UH, THIRD PARTY QUALITY CONTROL AND ART THAT THAT WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE PROJECT, TOTALING A TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET OF 17.5 MILLION.

SO IF EVERYTHING IS APPROVED TONIGHT, WE WILL, UH, KICK OFF THIS WEEK TO BEGIN DESIGN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE DESIGN ESTIMATE'S SIX MONTHS, WE'LL LOOK TO HOLD THE SPRING SEASON.

UM, UISA IS PLANNING ON THAT RIGHT NOW AND BEGIN CONSTRUCTION LATE SUMMER AND AT LEAST ONE YEAR FOR CONSTRUCTION.

UM, WE'LL STILL HAVE MITCH PARK AVAILABLE AND LOOKING TO DO OUR BEST TO SQUEEZE IN WHAT WE CAN, BUT 12 FIELDS WILL BE DOWN, UM, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD SO THAT THERE'S, THERE'S NO EXTRA 12 FIELDS TO REPLACE THAT.

SO IT WILL BE A DIFFICULT YEAR THERE AS, AS FAR AS FOR OPERATING BASEBALL THAT YEAR.

BUT WE WANNA PROVIDE A, A GREAT PRODUCT IN THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY, FASTEST WAY POSSIBLE, WHICH IS, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE SUGGESTING THIS.

SO WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THE PARK AVAILABLE FOR THE FALL 2025 SEASON AND TRY NOT TO GO AN ENTIRE CALENDAR YEAR WITHOUT BASEBALL.

SO, UM, CURRENTLY IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, WE HAVE $8 MILLION FOR THE PROJECT.

WE'RE SPENDING JUST UNDER A HALF MILLION TO RENOVATE THE RESTROOM AND THAT'S ON SCHEDULE AND HOPEFULLY SHOULD BE OPEN WITH WITHIN A MONTH OR SO.

UM, WE NEED AN ADDITIONAL $10 MILLION TO GET US TO THAT PROJECT BUDGET, AND THIS IS KIND OF WHERE WE'RE PROPO PROPOSING SHIFTING FUNDING FROM, WHICH I ALSO WENT OVER IT THE

[00:30:01]

THAT PROJECT IS CURRENTLY, UM, WORKING ON CONCEPTUAL PLANS THAT'S NOT QUITE READY FOR, FOR CONSTRUCTION YET.

SO SOME OF THAT MONEY FOR 2025 WOULD BE SHIFTED TO THE AC CAPLINGER PROJECT AND ALSO THE INDOOR SPORTS COMPLEX PROJECT OF TAKING SOME MONEY FROM THAT.

SO 2.1 PLUS 7.9 FROM RECTANGULAR FIELDS GIVES US THE $10 MILLION GAP TO GET US, UM, TO GET OUR PROJECT BUDGET SET AND FUNDED.

SO I'VE KINDA MENTIONED THIS, BUT NEXT STEPS WE NEED TO COMPLETE THE DESIGN.

SO AS, AS SOON AS WE, WE GET THE DESIGNER UNDER CONTRACT, THEY'LL FINISH DESIGN, GET THE PROJECT OUT TO BID.

UM, WE'RE ANTICIPATING TWO BID PACKAGES, ONE FOR DEMOLITION, ONE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF, OF THE PARK.

UM, WE'LL USE THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER TO TO VET AND RECOMMEND AWARD.

AND UM, WE'LL HAVE IT ON THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA.

THAT'D BE THE NEXT THING TO SET THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AS YOU'VE DONE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS.

GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

UM, SO THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT, AS I MENTIONED, BETWEEN UH, PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD, THE CIP BOARD.

THEY'VE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND WE ALSO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

COUNSEL ANY QUESTION, COMMENTS, THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

THANK YOU.

YEAH, GLAD TO SEE IT.

THANKS.

IT'S, IT'S BEEN A TEAM EFFORT HAPPENING.

THANKS.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IF ANY COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE ON THIS PROJECT? SEE NONE.

COUNSEL, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR ITEMS NINE, B ONE AND TWO.

SO MOVED.

SECOND.

MOTION.

SECOND.

UM, ANYONE COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE MOTION BEFORE THE VOTE IS TAKEN? HEARING NONE, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

ITEM IS PASSED FOR TO ZERO.

NEXT

[C. Other E.C. Hafer Park Improvements:]

RYAN, ARE YOU GONNA GIVE US THE UPDATE ON THESE? YES SIR.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING.

RYAN NER, DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY QUALITY.

I WANTED TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT A COUPLE OF PROJECTS WE HAVE, UH, IN, UH, NEAR FER PARK.

THESE PROJECTS ARE UP FOR DESIGN AND TO ORIENT YOU TO THE THREE PROJECTS, UM, THAT ARE KIND OF MERGED TOGETHER IN THIS ONE LARGER PROJECT.

HERE IS BRYANT, OF COURSE, ER PARK SHOWN HERE.

HERE'S, UH, SECOND STREET AND VISTA LANE.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MINUTE.

DOWN THERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE IS 15TH STREET.

SO THIS PROJECT ENTAILS A SIDE PATH TRAIL ALONG VISTA LANE THAT WILL CONNECT TO HAYFORD PARK.

IT ENTAILS IMPROVING, UM, SOME MAINTENANCE, UH, NEEDS.

I MEAN THE MAINTENANCE NEEDS SOME TRAILS IN HAYFORD PARK.

OUR EXISTING TRAILS JUST, UM, LOOKING TO MAINTAIN, FIX SOME CRACKS, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO REALLY REBUILD OR WIDEN THESE TRAILS.

JUST, UH, KIND OF SOME UPKEEP.

AND THEN THE OTHER PART OF THIS PROJECT IS DEVELOPED THIS 22 ACRES SOUTH OF FER PARK IN, UH, AS, AS THE EDMUND LAND CONSERVANCY INDICATED IN THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT THAT WAS RECENTLY, UM, GRANTED ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

SO, UH, FOLLOWING WHAT'S LAID OUT AND WE'LL TOUCH ON IT, UH, HERE BRIEFLY IN A MOMENT IN THOSE DOCUMENTS, WE'LL DEVELOP THAT, UH, PIECE OF PROPERTY ACCORDING TO THAT.

UH, AND ACTUALLY THAT'S WHAT THE NEXT SLIDE IS ABOUT.

UH, SO HERE ON THE NORTH, IT'S FER PARK.

HERE'S SPRING CREEK.

AND THIS IS THE MASTER PLAN THAT WAS DEVELOPED WORKING WITH EDMUND LANE CONSERVANCY.

SO, UM, IF THIS CONTRACT THAT'S BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS AWARDED, WE'LL, UH, HIRE CONSULTANTS TO DESIGN THIS TRAIL SYSTEM THROUGH HERE.

UH, DESIGN, THERE'S SOME FENCING THAT'S IDENTIFIED, A SMALL OUTDOOR CLASSROOM, SOME SIGNAGE, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

AND OF COURSE A BRIDGE CONNECTING, UH, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE, CONNECTING FER PARK TO THIS 22 ACRES SOUTH OF SPRING CREEK.

UH, SO ALL OF THAT IS, UM, WOULD BE DESIGNED WITH THIS AS WELL.

SO THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO, UM, RELATED TO EACH DIFFERENT ONE TO DEVELOP THE PRESERVE AT HAER PARK AS IT'S IDENTIFIED IN THE MEMORANDUM OF UN OF UNDERSTANDING.

WITH ELC, WE'VE WORKED WITH THEM VERY CLOSELY STILL EVEN TO GET TO THIS POINT.

UH, THERE'S SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE OUTLINED IN THAT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT.

A GOAL OF THIS IS ALSO PROVIDE SOME COST SAVINGS.

WE HAVE THESE VERY SIMILAR PROJECTS THAT HAPPEN TO BE GOING ON, UH, COINCIDING AT THE SAME POINT IN TIME HERE NEAR THIS AREA.

SO

[00:35:01]

UM, AND LET'S SEE, I GOT A SLIDE ON THAT HERE AND JUST ACTUALLY RIGHT HERE.

SO IF, AS YOU RECALL, OF COURSE, THERE WAS A TEMPORARY, UH, TAX TO BUY THAT LAND IN SOUTH OF HARE PARK, THAT MONEY THAT, THAT WAS GENERATED IN EXCESS OF WHAT IT TOOK TO PURCHASE THAT PROPERTY IS SET ASIDE AND IN RESERVES.

SO ONE OF THE ITEMS ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA MOVES MONEY FROM THE RESERVES TO WHERE IT CAN BE SPENT TO FUND THE DESIGN PORTION OF THE CONTRACT.

THERE WILL STILL BE FUNDS LEFT THERE TO, UH, CONSTRUCT THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE GONNA BE DESIGNED NEXT YEAR IN THE PARK TAX FUND.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME FUNDING FOR THE TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS AND ALSO THE VISTA LANE SIDE PATH TRAIL PROJECT THAT I MENTIONED.

UH, THERE WAS RECENTLY A GRANT THAT YOU ALL ACCEPTED, UM, THAT WILL FUND THAT WITH SOME CITY MATCHING FUNDS.

THAT SHOULD BE D RIGHT? NINE D ONE.

UM, CONSIDERATION APPROVAL FOR THE FINAL CHANGE ORDER FOR BURG GOLF CLUB.

FINAL CHANGE ORDER FOR BURG GOLF CLUB.

GOOD EVENING, A HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

YES, THIS EVENING I'M BEFORE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL FOR OUR FINAL CHANGE ORDER FOR THE KICKING BIRD GOLF CLUBHOUSE AND GOLF COURSE PROJECT.

WHAT IS VERY IMPORTANT, UM, THIS EVENING I AM DISCUSSING THE FINAL JOINT CHANGE ORDER FOR THE GOLF COURSE ITSELF.

UH, MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN BEFORE YOU, I'VE BEEN SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE CLUBHOUSE AND ALL THOSE CHANGES, BUT THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE ACTUAL GOLF COURSE AND IRRIGATION PROJECT.

UH, INITIALLY THE GOLF COURSE PROJECT WAS AWARDED 4.4 MILLION AND WE HAD THREE PREVIOUS CHANGE ORDERS.

THOSE CHANGE ORDERS INCLUDED LASER LEVELING OUR EXISTING TEE BOX AND, AND SODDING THEM.

WE ALSO CHANGED SANDLIN PROVIDERS WAY BACK AND, UM, REROUTED OUR WATER LINE, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY LOCATED UNDER OUR OLD CLUBHOUSE.

SO WE HAD TO ROUTE IT OUTSIDE OF THE NEW FOOTPRINT.

SO WE DID THAT PROJECT AND THEN ALSO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DRIVE BY ON BRYANT, WE HAD A CORRUGATED STEEL PIPE THAT WAS IN OUR NUMBER EIGHT POND AND WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THAT WITH A CONCRETE PIPE, UM, WILL LAST A LOT LONGER AND THAT WAS PART OF AN ALBERTSON EXPANSION WAY BACK IN 1992.

SO WE DID THAT CHANGE ORDER NUMBER THREE AS WELL.

AND WHAT I HAVE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS AGAIN CHANGE ORDER NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS TO CLOSE OUT THE PROJECT, UH, CHANGE ORDER NUMBER FOUR, WE HAD SOME LARGE VARIANCES WITH OUR TEE BOX PROJECTS, OUR GREEN SURROUNDS AND OUR SORTED AREAS WHICH CAUSED THE OVERAGES.

THEY WERE IDENTIFIED EARLY IN THE PROJECT AND WE ACTUALLY BUDGETED THESE FUNDS UNDER THE CIP UH, RESERVES AND THOSE WERE APPROVED AT OUR, AT THEIR LAST MEETING, UM, TO FUND THESE OVERAGES.

BUT THE GPS READINGS THAT WERE UTILIZED WITH THE PROJECT IDENTIFIED 123,000 OF ADDITIONAL SQUARE FEET OF ADDITIONAL TEE BOX CONSTRUCTION, 117,000 ADDITIONAL SQUARE FEET OF SOD.

YOU ALSO NOTICED THAT DURING THE PROJECT WE DID IDENTIFY SOME PROJECTS THAT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETED WHILE WE HAD THE CONTRACTOR OUT ON SITE.

IT WAS GONNA BE BETTER FOR THE CITY AT THIS TIME.

AND I WILL SHOW SOME PICTURES OF THAT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT WHERE WE DID SOME TOPSOIL MANAGEMENT ON OUR DRIVING RANGE T FOR 16,000.

OUR NUMBER EIGHT POND SLOPES ON THE FAIRWAY APPROACH AND THE GREEN SURROUNDS THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE DRIVING DOWN BRYANT.

NUMBER NINE, LOWER LEFT SIDE FAIRWAY IMPROVEMENT FOR 5,000.

NUMBER 10 WAS AN EAST ROUGH TOPSOIL IMPROVEMENT FOR SEVEN.

THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE EVER PRACTICED OUT AT KICKING BIRD, WE FILLED IN THE VALLEY OUT

[00:40:01]

SO WE DID THAT IMPROVEMENT AS WELL.

WE HAD TO CREATE A DIVERSION SWALE BETWEEN HOLES 14 AND 15 TO HELP US WITH OUR NEW BUNKERS.

ON 14 WE'RE GETTING QUITE A BIT OF RAIN RUNOFF THAT WAS FLOODING THOSE BUNKERS.

AND SO WE BUILT THE SWALE IN BETWEEN HOLES 14 AND 15 TO HANDLE THAT RAIN RUNOFF.

AND SO THOSE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS WERE 101,000.

WE WERE INTENDING THAT WAY BACK IN MAY OF 2022 TO MAYBE HAVE ABOUT A $500,000 OVERAGE.

BUT WE WERE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, THE ARCHITECT, BRAD AND HIS STAFF, AND WE LOOKED AT WAYS THAT WE COULD HOPEFULLY TRY TO SAVE SOME MONEY THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT AS IT WAS ONGOING.

AND SO A FEW AREAS THAT WE TRIED TO, OH, SEE WHERE MY POINTER IS, UM, DO SOME IN-HOUSE PROJECTS THAT COULD HELP US.

I'M JUST TRYING TO SHOW YOU UP HERE WERE SOME AREAS WHERE WE WERE GOING TO SOD THE ENTIRE DRIVING RANGE T AND AS WE GOT INTO IT, WE LOOKED AT AREAS TO WHERE WE COULD POTENTIALLY SPRIG THESE AREAS JUST LIKE WE DID WITH OUR FAIRWAYS TO SAVE US ON SOME OF THAT SODDING EXPENSE.

AND SO WE LOOKED TO IDENTIFY THOSE AREAS AS SO WE COULD KEEP THE CHANGE ORDER HOPEFULLY WELL UNDER THE 500,000.

TO KIND OF SHOW YOU WHAT WE DID, AND I KNOW I IDENTIFIED THESE IN PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS, BUT WHEN WE WENT TO LOOK TO DO THE FAIRWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, BRAD HAD COME TO ME AND THOUGHT THAT ONE OF THE WAYS WE COULD DIFFERENTIATE OURSELVES WAS TO PUT THE NEW TMA 31 FAIRWAY GRASS IN OUR FAIRWAYS.

AND SO GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE DID THE ENTIRE SPRINGING PROCESS ON THEIR OWN WITH A VERIFY THE FAIRWAY AND THEN BUYING A SPRINGER AND SPRINGING IN THE TMA 31 RATHER THAN SODDING IT.

THAT SAVED US A 10TH OF THE COST.

IF WE WERE TO HAVE SOUGHTED OUR FAIRWAYS, WE WOULD'VE LOOKED AT SPENDING WELL OVER A MILLION DOLLARS AND WE DID IT FOR ABOUT $150,000 TOTAL COST, INCLUDING THE SPRINGING MACHINE.

AND THIS IS KIND OF THE END RESULT, AS YOU CAN SEE.

SO REALLY WELL, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AREAS OF DISTURBANCE, THOSE AREAS, YOU CAN ALMOST SEE WHERE THE DIFFERENCE IN COLOR OF THE TURF IS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT AREAS WHERE WE CAME IN AND WE WOULD TEAR THESE AREAS OUT AND THEN HAVE TO SOD THAT BACK IN WITH EITHER ASTRO BERMUDA OR THE OMA 31 AND THEN BRAD AND HIS CREW.

THEN WE WOULD CUT A LINE AND THEY WOULD SPRING BACK ALL THE WAY TO THE TEE BOX TO PUT IN THE FAIRWAYS, GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND SOMETIMES WE'RE QUOTED AS TO HOW MUCH DID THIS GOLF COURSE PROJECT COST.

I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE ARCHITECT FEES.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A $22 MILLION COST ON THIS PROJECT.

THE CLUBHOUSE AND ITS CHANGE ORDERS WERE 14.6 MILLION.

THE GREENS IN IRRIGATION UPON APPROVAL THIS EVENING WOULD BE 5.16 FF AND E WAS 964,000.

THE ARCHITECT FEES WAS 1,000,176 BORROWING FEES FOR THE BOND OR, OR WAS FOR 129,000.
