SO, THAT'S MY REPORT.

UH, MAYOR, THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER DUNN.

THANK YOU, LA.

THE LAST 10 DAYS, IT'S BEEN REALLY BUSY FOR THE HISTORIC BOARD.

ON A MARCH 29TH, WE HAVE THE HISTORY BOWL, AND WE HAD A WONDERFUL CROWD.

AND THERE ARE A FEW PICTURES THAT YOU'LL, YOU CAN SEE FROM THAT NIGHT.

WE REALLY, UH, HAD AN EXUBERANT CROWD.

UH, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY BROUGHT THEIR OWN SIGNS TO ROOT THEIR TEAM ON.

I THINK THAT WAS FROM RAVENS RAVENSWOOD HIGH SCHOOL.

UH, BUT THE VICTOR WAS NOLANSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.

THEY WON $800.

RAVENSWOOD CAME IN SECOND, THEY WON 600, AND SUMMIT CAME IN THIRD, WINNING $400.

WE WANNA THANK DAN THOMAS FROM, UH, W-S-M-T-V, WHO WAS OUR HOST FOR THE EVENING.

AND OF COURSE, OUR FORMER STATE LIBRARIAN, CHUCK CHERYL, WHO WAS THE QUESTIONER, WHO WAS SEATED RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT.

AND SOME PERSONAL THANK YOUS.

UH, MOST OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE SCORES, BUT WE HAVE SOME, UH, FOLKS WHO VOLUNTEER FAITHFULLY EVERY YEAR.

COMMISSIONER TRAVIS AND HIS WIFE RHONDA, HELPED US SCORE IN, UH, CITY MANAGER BEDNAR.

AND THEN, UH, RUNNING THE BUZZER EVERY SINGLE YEAR IS ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, JAY EVANS.

AND, UH, WE REALLY APPRECIATE COMING BACK OVER HERE AT NIGHT AND DOING THAT.

Y'ALL HELPING US OUT.

I DO WANT TO THANK AGAIN, THE SPONSORS BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE THE MONEY THAT MAKES THESE GIFTS POSSIBLE.

UM, DE KAPLAN FAMILY, MARLA RICHARDSON, UH, REALTY, MARY LEE BUNCH, UH, AND ASSOCIATES.

ANDREWS TRANSPORTATION, RAY LITTLE TIRE, JOE GROSS, ANNETTE GAINES.

OH, WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO? THERE ARE TWO OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS.

I HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN SOMEWHERE.

UM, WELL, I'LL THINK OF THEM IN A MINUTE.

IT'S SOMEBODY ON OUR BOARD.

VERY GENEROUS PEOPLE.

UH, WHO WERE THEY? ANYHOW, THE NIGHT WENT VERY WELL.

AND WE DO NEED CHARLES.

HAVE WE GOTTEN THOSE CHECKS OUT TO THE SCHOOL YET? WE'RE CUTTING THEM.

VERY, VERY GRATEFUL, BUT IT WAS A LOT OF WORK.

'CAUSE I'VE HEARD FROM ONE ALREADY, THEY SAID, WE NEED TO DEFRAY THE COST OF YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT THAT THEY'RE ATTENDING VERY SOON, AND COULD WE GET THE PRIZE MONEY TO THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE? SO I WANTED YOU TO BE ABLE TO, UH, UH, GET THOSE OUT NOW ON.

THEN ON THE THIRD, UH, WE HAD BRENTWOOD SPEAKS AT THE LIBRARY.

NICOLE SMITH CHAIRED THAT, AND WE HAD 55 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

SO WE WERE VERY PLEASED.

HAD SOME GREAT PRESENTATIONS.

ASHLEY ALTE, UH, JOE GROSS, KATHY GREAVES, ANNETTE GAINES, RIE MANGRAM PRESENTED HISTORIES OF VARIOUS SUBDIVISIONS.

AND ASHLEY STARTED IT OUT BY GIVING AN OVERVIEW FROM 1400 UP TO THE PRESENT, BRIEFLY, OF COURSE, UH, THEY ALL HAD GREAT POWERPOINTS TO MAKE IT INTERESTING.

AND WE HAD A LITTLE SOCIAL TIME WITH REFRESHMENTS AFTERWARDS.

UH, ONE OF THE INTERESTING COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE, UH, RAY, I THINK YOU MIGHT'VE LIVED HERE BACK IN 1967, OKAY? ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN WHOSE FAMILY'S BEEN HERE A LONG, LONG TIME, HE WAS A YOUNGSTER AT THAT TIME.

AND HE SAID HE WENT TO LIPSCOMB ELEMENTARY.

AND YOU, UH, CONCORD ROAD WAS A TWO LANE ROAD THEN, AND THE INTERSTATE HAD RECENTLY JUST OPENED.

AND LBJ WAS SPENDING THE DAY AT THE HER HERMITAGE AND THEN TRAVELING TO THE POLK HOUSE DOWN IN COLUMBIA.

SO THE STUDENTS FROM EL LIPSCOMB, NOW, HE DIDN'T SAY IF THIS WAS BEFORE OR AFTER SCHOOL, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE TEACHERS TOOK THEM OUT OR WHILE, BUT THEY LINED THAT AREA WHERE YOU COULD LOOK OVER THE INTERSTATE AND THE PRESIDENT WHISKED BY VERY QUICKLY.

BUT THEY ALL GOT TO SEE THE PRESIDENT IN HIS CAR.

SO THAT WAS ONE OF HIS MEMORIES OF, OF ATTENDING LIPSCOMB ELEMENTARY.

AND A COUPLE THERE THAT DAY, GAVE US A VERY, VERY GENEROUS DONATION UPON LEAVING, WHICH CAME AS A, A BIG SURPRISE.

SO WE WERE

[00:20:01]

BUT EVERYBODY DID A GREAT JOB THIS FRIDAY, UH, AT NINE 30, THE ODDS OF MARCH, MARCH 15TH, UH, WE WILL HAVE OUR HISTORIC BOARD MEETING AND WE'LL BE ELECTING OUR OFFICERS.

AND I DID WANT TO GIVE A KUDOS TO OUR LIBRARY.

I WAS READING THIS ISSUE OF THE TENNESSEE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.

UH, THEY MENTIONED THE MEMORY KITS.

THERE'S A LOVELY, LOVELY, HUGE ARTICLE ON THE MEMORY KITS, AND THAT GOES OUT STATEWIDE.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT, YOU MIGHT TRY TO, TO, UH, LOOK AT IT.

IT, IT WAS REALLY WELL DONE.

AND, AND IT WAS, I THINK, QUITE A COMPLIMENT TO OUR LIBRARY FOR, FOR OFFERING THOSE TO RESIDENTS.

SO, THANK YOU.

OVER AT THE LIBRARY, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU COM COMMISSIONER.

LITTLE, UH, NO REPORT.

JUST ONE COMMENT ON COMMISSIONER DUNN, THAT IT WAS SAFER TO BE ON CONCORD ROAD AT THAT TIME.

'CAUSE THERE WAS NO ENTRANCE OR EXIT ON THE INTERSTATE.

SO, AND MOST OF MY LIFE IT WAS TWO LANES.

UM, SO REAL QUICK, UM, BRENTWOOD UP HAD AN EVENT, UH, OH, I'M SORRY.

UH, COMMISSIONER TRAVIS, WE WERE KIND OF GOING ON TIME.

I KNOW WE, WE WERE GETTING THROUGH THIS.

UM, THANK YOU MAYOR.

UM, I'VE HAD A GREAT TWO WEEKS, LEMME TELL YOU, IT HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN AND GOOD NEWS HERE IN BRENTWOOD.

IT STARTS OFF BECAUSE OUR CITY ATTORNEY ASKED ME TO BE A JUDGE AT A SPELLING BEE AT CROCKETT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, FIRST, SECOND, AND FIFTH GRADE.

AND, UM, STEPHANIE HIGGS, HER NAME IS, SHE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER.

SHE'S GOT A LARGE CLASSROOM, IS HALF AS BIG AS THIS ROOM HERE, AND IT IS FULL OF THINGS.

IT'S SO IMPRESSIVE WHEN YOU GET THERE.

I GOT THERE EARLY, HAD TO STUDY THE WORDS, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, BUT IT'S SO IMPRESSIVE TO SEE ALL THAT.

SHE'S GOT TO TEACH THESE KIDS.

IT'S JUST AMAZING.

UM, FIRST GRADE, SECOND GRADE, FIFTH GRADE, FIFTH GRADE, MADE IT THROUGH JUST ONE ROUND OF THE FIVE KIDS.

AND THEN WE HAD A WINNER.

FIRST GRADE WENT THROUGH EIGHT ROUNDS, ALL OF THEIR WORDS, PLUS ALMOST ALL THE SECOND GRADE WORDS.

AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED.

AND I'VE TOLD EVERYBODY THAT THEIR, WHEN YOU'D ASK 'EM A, A WORD, JUST SIMPLE WORD, LIKE RUN, THEY'D LOOK AT THE CEILING, RUN, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE VISUALIZING UP THERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THOSE LITTLE MINES WORKING.

IT WAS JUST, IT WAS SPECTACULAR.

THAT WAS IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

CAME HERE EVENING, CAME HERE, HISTORY BOWL.

AND YOU TALK ABOUT MINES WORKING AGAIN.

THOSE KIDS ARE STUDYING UP UNTIL YOU, YOU ASK THEM QUESTIONS, AND THEN, THEN THEY GOT A PIN UP HERE.

LIKE, THEY'RE JUST PUSHING LIKE CRAZY FOR JAY.

THE HISTORY BOWL WAS, AGAIN, SO MUCH FUN.

THOSE KIDS WERE SO EXCITED.

NUMBER ONE, TO WIN NUMBER TWO, $800 MEANS A LOT TO THOSE KIDS THAT THEY WERE ALL SO IMPRESSED WITH THAT PRIZE MONEY.

AND THEY'RE GONNA PUT IT TO GOOD USE IT, IT'S NOT GONNA BE WASTED.

I MEAN, WE ARE SO LUCKY THERE.

UM, ALSO, UH, CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR OWN JEFF HUGHES FOR HIS, UH, WIN ON THE, UH, SHERIFF'S RACE HARD RACE.

UM, BUT IT WAS A GOOD RACE AND HE WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

IT WAS REALLY, REALLY, UH, FUN.

CONGRATULATIONS TO JEFF.

HE'LL DO A GREAT JOB.

THAT'S A GREAT THING, ANGELA.

AGAIN, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TO THE CHA HERE TO THIS CHAMBER, AND THEY'VE SAID, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOU DON'T GET THE NEWS THE WAY WE USED TO GET NEWS.

SO THIS IS, THIS'LL HELP A LOT, CHARLES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, I'M ALSO VERY GRATEFUL FOR WHAT THE LIBRARY IS DOING FOR THE FIRE STATIONS.

THE LIBRARY'S PUTTING IN LIBRARIES FOR THE FIRE HALLS WHERE THEY CAN HAVE BOOKS AND THEY CAN READ BOOKS.

AND I THINK THAT'S OVER AND ABOVE.

SUSAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.

AND I TOO LOOK FORWARD TO ARBOR DAY.

I'M SO GLAD YOU WENT OVER FOR THE SPELLING BEE.

WHEN I WAS IN EIGHTH GRADE, I WENT TO THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL, WHICH WAS NOT A LARGE SCHOOL, BUT WE HAD A SCHOOL-WIDE SPELLING BEE.

MY BROTHER IN THE SIXTH GRADE.

AND I, MY BROTHER WAS SMART, BUT HE DIDN'T TRY VERY HARD.

UM, WE WERE THE LAST TWO, HE BEAT ME.

I, I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT, OR THE WORD HE HAS HAS ZERO MEMORY OF IT.

THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT UP, IT MADE A DIFFERENCE TO ME.

IT DID

[00:25:01]

I'M GLAD YOU WERE THERE TO MAKE IT FUN FOR THEM.

IF YOU, UNLESS YOU ARE BEATEN BY YOUR LITTLE BROTHER, AND THEN YOU DON'T, IT'S NOT FUN NECESSARILY.

UH, SO THIS COMES TO YOU, UH, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE LIBRARY BOARD THROUGH A RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF TO ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN FOR ANY CITY EMPLOYEES PART-TIME OR FULL-TIME, WHO HAVE WORKED, UH, 20 YEARS WITH THE CITY.

AND THEN BASED UPON DISCUSSION ON THURSDAY, I THINK THERE MAY BE A DESIRE TO AMEND AND, AND REDUCE THAT NUMBER, BUT THAT'S HOW IT'S PRESENTED TO YOU AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

COMMISSIONER DUNN, AFTER WE VOTE ON THIS, I WANT TO OFFER AN AMENDMENT, OF COURSE, AS WE DISCUSSED, CHANGING THE PERIOD, BUT I'D LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION.

DID WE COME TO A CONSENSUS LAST WEEK ABOUT, UM, NEEDS TO BE ALIGNMENT? IF YOU FAILED TO WITHDRAW AN ITEM FROM THE LIBRARY DURING A YEAR'S PERIOD THAT YOU WOULD, UH, FOREGO THIS PRIVILEGE? DID WE COME TO ANY KIND OF AGREEMENT ON THAT OR DID WE NOT WANT TO GET INTO THAT? I THINK IT WAS JUST KIND OF DISCUSSED AND ACCEPTED THAT WAY THAT THEY DIDN'T USE IT.

AND IF I MAY, COMMISSIONER DUNN, IF YOU WANNA GO AHEAD, THE AMENDMENT WILL NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE FINAL VOTE, SO THEN IF THE AMENDMENT PASSES, THEN IT WOULD BE THE MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS TO PASS FIRST.

I JUST WANT DON'T EVEN ADD THAT IF YOU ALL THOUGHT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY.

SO I THINK THE THOUGHT WAS IF PEOPLE ARE USING IT, UM, THEY WOULD USE THE LIBRARY.

ALRIGHT.

WELL, I WON'T CHANGE THAT.

WELL, COMMISSIONER DUN, I KNOW WHEN SUSAN WAS THERE, WE HAD THE DISCUSSION.

SHE MENTIONED THAT IT AUTOMATICALLY HAPPENS, UH, IN THE SYSTEM AFTER THREE YEARS.

SO THEY HAVE A SYSTEM FOR INACTIVE ACCOUNTS TO COME OUT ALREADY.

SO IF WE STUCK TO THE SAME TERM AS AS GENERALLY DONE, IT WOULDN'T CREATE ANY EXTRA WORK FOR THE LIBRARY STAFF.

THAT BE GOOD THEN? OKAY.

READY TO, I'M READY.

DID YOU WANNA MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND WE HAVE TO APPROVE THIS FIRST.

NO, MA'AM.

WE NEED TO, UM, YOU NEED TO, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AMENDMENT WELL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THIS, TO CHANGE THE, UH, LANGUAGE OF 20 YEAR, 20 YEARS TO 10 YEARS, 20 YEARS OF SERVICE TO 10 YEARS OF SERVICE.

RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL VERY GOOD.

PRIMARY MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DUNN.

I'LL SECOND THAT SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ANDREWS DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENT.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

KRISTEN, AT OUR BRIEFING, YOU MAY MENTION THAT WE MAY HAVE TO TAKE THAT BACK TO THE BOARD.

YES.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE LIBRARY BOARD RATIFY THIS CHANGE, UM, AT ITS NEXT MEETING OR AS SOON AS IT COULD GET ON THE LIBRARY BOARD AGENDA.

THAT'S GOOD TO ME.

SO PROCEDURALLY, UH, HOW WOULD, UH, HOW WOULD THE LIBRARY BOARD, UM, RATIFY THAT IF WE VOTE ON IT TONIGHT, SIMPLY TAKE A VOTE TO RATIFY THE COMMISSIONS CHANGE? SO ULTIMATELY, THE WAY THAT THIS IS SET UP, THAT THE LIBRARY BOARD RECOMMENDS THE CHANGES TO YOU ALL, YOU ALL ARE THE FINAL DETERMINING OR DECISION MAKING BODY OF THIS POLICY.

SO AGAIN, THEY WOULD JUST RATIFY AND ACCEPT THE CHANGE THAT YOU MADE.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT? THEN THEY WOULD COME BACK AND ASK FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

AND YOU ALL COULD SAY YES OR NO TO THAT.

YEP.

AWARE OF OUR FEELINGS ON IT.

YEP.

COULD WE JUST DEFER IT, LET THE LIBRARY BOARD KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, SUSAN AND I COULD TAKE IT BACK AND GO, OKAY, COMMISSIONER DUNN AND SO FORTH WANTED TO ADJUST THE YEARS.

LET'S LOOK AT THIS AGAIN.

AND THEN WE REPRESENT IT.

IF WE DEFERRED THIS, HAD THE MEETING ON THE 20TH, DISCUSS THE, THE POLICY CHANGE AND THEY, THE LIBRARY BOARD MAKE THEIR RECOMMENDATION AND THEN WE VOTE ON IT.

COMMISSIONER, I WOULD PREFER THEY KNOW WHAT OUR THINKING IS WHEN IT GOES BACK TO THEM BECAUSE THEY'VE LOOKED AT IT TWICE THIS YEAR ALREADY.

UH, WELL, IT WAS BROUGHT UP AT ONE MEETING AND DROPPED EARLIER IN THE YEAR, AND THEN IN NOVEMBER IT WAS BROUGHT UP AND, UM, THIS WAS A RESULT OF THAT.

SO THEY'VE DISCUSSED IT AND I THINK THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT OUR THINKING WAS.

I'M NOT BEING CRITICAL OF 'EM.

I THINK THEY JUST WEREN'T

[00:35:01]

SO I THINK IT WOULD, I WOULD PREFER SENDING THEM I DECISION AND LETTING THEM RATIFY IT INSTEAD OF GOING BACK AND LETTING THEM DISCUSS IT AGAIN AND MAYBE SENDING SOMETHING DIFFERENT BACK.

BECAUSE AS MR. BEDNAR SAID, WE HAVE THE FINAL DECISION TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, PROCEDURALLY THE COMMISSION CERTAINLY COULD DEFER IT, BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD BE UP TO THE COMMISSION WHETHER OR NOT TO MAKE THAT MOTION AND SENT TO DEFER.

UM, I, I MEAN, I DON'T THINK IT'S ANY DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE WE'VE DONE WHERE WE'VE HAD A, WE'VE HAD, LIKE EVEN THE MOUNTAIN BIKE RULES, IT WENT BACK TO THE PART BOARD.

WELL, IT'S BEEN BACK TO THEM.

I MEAN THEY, WE, WE'VE ONLY DISCUSSED IT ONCE AT A LIBRARY BOARD MEETING.

WE DIDN'T DROP ANYTHING.

WE HAD THE ONE DISCUSSION AND THEN MOVED IT FORWARD.

AND THEN THIS IS, WELL, IF YOU WANNA DO IT THAT WAY, I'M FINE WITH THAT.

UM, I MEAN, I, I THINK I I WILL AND SUSAN CAN TAKE BACK THAT YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS 10 YEARS.

I THINK IT'D BE EASIER JUST TO DO IT THAT WAY AND HAVE A CLEAN POLICY.

THAT WAY Y'ALL CAN APPROVE THE POLICY CHANGE.

WELL, YOU'RE THE LIBRARY BOARD REP.

I RESPECT YOUR OPINION ON THIS.

SO I WILL ACQUIESCE TO HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE IT.

AND I MEAN THAT IN GOOD FAITH.

I DO RESPECT EVERYBODY'S POSITION ON THEIR VARIOUS BOARDS.

AND SUSAN, AND I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD KNOWS THAT IT, THAT YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO BE 10 YEARS.

AND I THINK I SAID IN OUR BRIEFING, THEY WEREN'T COMFORTABLE WITH FIVE.

I DON'T, AND I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITHOUT THE BOARD WEIGHING IN ON WHETHER THEY WOULD WANT IT TO BE 10 OR 15.

BUT I THINK THEY WOULD BE FINE.

I THINK I'M OKAY TO SAY THEY'D BE FINE WITH REDUCING THE AMOUNT.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WOULD RECOMMEND IT GO.

SO, SO ARE YOU WANTING TO, UM, MAKE A, UH, UH, A MOTION TO DEFER? I THINK I MAKE A MOTION TO DEFER IT TO WHAT DAY THE NEXT MEETING IS, UH, IS MARCH 25TH.

UM, WE HAVE OUR LIBRARY BOARD MEETING ON THE 20TH.

CAN IT BE DEFERRED AND CAN WE VOTE ON IT? SUSAN, I'M LOOKING AT YOU TWO ON THE 20TH.

DISCUSS IT AT THAT BRIEFING, I MEAN AT THAT LIBRARY BOARD MEETING AND THEN TALK ABOUT IT AND VOTE ON IT HERE.

IF YOU WANNA DEFER IT TO THE 25TH, WHICH IS THE NEXT MEETING, THE LIBRARY BOARD WOULD NOT MEET UNTIL AFTER WE'VE PRODUCED THE AGENDA.

WE COULD PRODUCE IT WITH THE 10 NUMBER AND THEN IF THE LIBRARY BOARD DOES SOMETHING DIFFERENT, YOU CAN COMMUNICATE THAT ON THE 21ST AT THE BRIEFING AND THEN THIS BOARD CAN CONSIDER IT.

ON THE 25TH.

UH, AND MAKE ANY CHANGES OR, OR, OR WE WOULD HONESTLY, WITHOUT THE LIBRARY BOARD ACTING BY THE TIME WE GOT IT, WE'D PROBABLY JUST PUT IT ON AS IT IS TODAY.

MM-HMM.

, YOU REPORT BACK WHAT THE LIBRARY BOARD'S RESPONSE IS AND THEN WE'RE BACK TO KIND OF WHERE WE ARE TONIGHT WITH AN AMENDMENT TO MAKE IT 10 IF THAT'S THE DECISION TO DO IT.

SO LET'S JUST DEFER IT TO THE 25TH, THE LIBRARY.

I'LL TAKE THIS INFORMATION AND SUSAN TO THE MEETING ON THE 20TH, THE LIBRARY BOARD MEETING ON THE 20TH.

AND THAT WAY WE CAN VOTE ON IT ON THE 25TH AND PUT IN WHATEVER WE WANT.

SO YOU'RE MAKING A MOTION TO DEFER TO THE, UH, UH, TO 25TH MARCH 25TH.

UM, NO MA'AM.

UM, UH, IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND.

AND, UH, VICE MAYOR TRAVIS WILL, UH, MAKE SECOND, UH, DISCUSSION ABOUT, UH, THE DEFERRAL.

I'M FINE.

NOTHING VERY GOOD.

UH, ALL IN FAVOR OF DEFERRING, UM, RESOLUTION, UH, 2024 DASH 25 TO MARCH 25TH.

COMMISSION MEETING SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ABSTENTIONS OPPOSED.

[1. Resolution 2024-28 - A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH NICKELL COMPANY, LLC FOR MURRAY LANE AT HOLLY TREE GAP ROUNDABOUT, for adoption]

NEW BUSINESS, UM, RESOLUTION 2024 DASH, UH, 28 RESOLUTION AUTHOR AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH NICKEL COMPANY LLC FOR MURRAY LANE AT HOLLY TREE GAP ROUNDABOUT FOR ADOPTION.

DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE? MOVE TO APPROVE.

AND I'LL SECOND KIRK.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UM, THIS IS A PROJECT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT QUITE A BIT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, WHICH IS THE ROUNDABOUT AT, UM, MURRAY LANE AND HOLLY TREE GAP OUT ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN TODAY.

THAT INTERSECTION IS A THREE WAY STOP.

UH, AND AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE UH, TRIED TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW AROUND TOWN WHERE WE'VE GOT MULTI-WAY STOPS ON ARTERIAL ROADS BY ROUNDABOUT.

SO THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT EFFORT.

UM, THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT SOLICITED BIDS, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT ON OPEN BIDS ON FEBRUARY 20TH.

WE HAD THREE COMPANIES THAT SUBMITTED BIDS.

NICKEL COMPANY LLC IS THE LOW BIDDER AT $1,549,724

[00:40:01]

AND 45 CENTS.

UM, YOU RECALL THAT THIS PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATERLINE WORK RELATED TO THE HARPETH VALLEY UTILITY DISTRICT.

YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED A RELOCATION AGREEMENT WITH THEM.

THEY WILL END UP REIMBURSING US ABOUT, UH, I THINK IT'S ABOUT 110, A LITTLE OVER $109,000.

THAT WORK WILL BE DONE IN THIS PROJECT, AND THEN THEY WILL REIMBURSE US THAT AMOUNT, UM, FOR THE WORK THAT IS OUTSIDE OF, OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROJECT.

UM, WE ARE PLANNING TO CLOSE THIS INTERSECTION IF ALL THINGS COME TOGETHER AT THE RIGHT TIME.

TIMING WISE, UH, SHORTLY AFTER SCHOOL GETS OUT FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS, UH, WE HAVE PUT INTO THIS CONTRACT A $75,000 BONUS TO THE CONTRACTOR.

IF THEY'RE ABLE TO GET THE, THE ROUNDABOUT BACK OPEN BY AUGUST 2ND, WHICH IS RIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN.

UH, THERE ARE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IF THEY OVERALL EXTEND, UH, BEYOND THE CONTRACT TIME.

ALSO, UM, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF ALL THE OTHER DETAILS HERE.

IT'S A PROJECTED TO BE A A FOUR MONTH CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

UH, SO WE'LL START PROBABLY IN MAY, UH, TO ALL THE PREP WORK THEY CAN AND THEN BE READY TO CLOSE IT.

OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT MORE COMING FOR THE PUBLIC IN TERMS OF CLOSURE AND, AND, UM, DETOUR ROUTES AND, AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

UM, WE ARE ALSO, AS PART OF THIS RESOLUTION, UH, RECOMMENDING THAT WE USE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDS FOR THIS PROJECT, WE HAVE SOME FUNDS YET NOT YET EXPENDED THAT WE NEED TO GET UNDER CONTRACT BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.

SO THIS IS ONE PROJECT WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING TO USE THOSE FUNDS.

UH, AND IN ADDITION TO THE BID AMOUNT AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE $75,000 BONUS, UH, IF THEY, UH, COMPLETE AND GET THE ROUNDABOUT BACK OPEN IN TIME, WE'RE ALSO ASKING COMMISSION TO AUTHORIZE A $75,000, UH, CONTINGENCY ALLOWANCE, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 5%.

THAT WILL ALLOW STAFF TO APPROVE SMALLER CHANGE ORDERS, UH, IN A TIMELY MANNER TO KEEP THE PROJECT MOVING.

YOU HAVE A SHEET AT YOUR SEAT, WHICH IS A REVISED LIST OF SUBCONTRACTORS.

UH, AND THE CHANGE THERE IS RELATED TO THE WATERLINE CONTRACTOR.

UM, THEY HAD TO CHANGE THAT SUBCONTRACTOR TO BE, UH, HARPETH VALLEY UTILITY DISTRICT APPROVED SUBCONTRACTOR.

THAT CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE, IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE BID AMOUNT.

UM, SO WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITIONS ARE COMPLETE AND SETTLED.

SO THE PROJECT IS READY TO MOVE FORWARD.

QUESTIONS OF, UH, COMMENTS OF STAFF.

I WAS EXCITED TO, UH, TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A, UH, A FINISH EARLY, UH, BONUS IN THERE.

UM, WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SPEND THAT MONEY.

WE HOPE WE CAN PAY THAT.

UM, PERHAPS, UM, TDOT SHOULD HAVE PUT SOMETHING ON FRANKLIN ROAD, RIGHT? COMMISSIONER, VICE MAYOR TRAVIS' TAKING A LITTLE MORE THAN 75,000, BUT , RIGHT? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

UM, ALL RIGHT.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NO.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL IN FAVOR OF RESOLUTION 2024 DASH 28.

PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
