[Music] have Michael do you just want to brief introduce yourself and your company to the to the council certainly and thank you for your consideration and moving me up on the agenda tonight I appreciate it I want to say also to the mayor and uh to the folks with economic development and Engineering uh how appreciative I have been and we are of all their accommodations and courtesies it's been great uh refreshing actually uh to be considering to come into a town that's been so welcoming and helping uh I am vice president of the several building uh components uh we we build components for metal buildings uh everywhere from a like a carport or garage that a carport company might manufacture to a larger facility in this particular facility we will distribute the products that we are making in Texas and Indiana tubular steel sheet metal trims rollup doors and walk-in doors along with Windows and anchors that we bring in from third parties so this project allows us to be closer to a lot of our customers and to also allow us to expand and as we open we uh we envision 12 to 15 employees uh maybe within the first 12 18 months and hopefully to see it to grow to a larger number yeah us [Music] too so what he's asking for is he's going to do retail sales but also he will do some light Industrial in the same building which requires a special use permit to to do the light Industrial in the retail sales area is this going to be uh more or less a Distribution Hub that would be correct for retail and whale to our bigger companies who manufacture buildings okay but we will

also make it available to yourself if you wanted to come pick up metal and trim for maybe a project you were doing uh at your home or on your farm uh it would be aail ailable to the general public as well is it like red Iron buildings or the the like the tubular style carports and stuff it's it's a galvanized tubular structure and tubing so they take those sticks as we call it of the tubing and they will bend it weld it and fabricate it to meet the size and dimensions of your building that you have ordered from thank you can I ask about um you said you're going to distribute out of there how many um trucks would you have in and out of there on a daily basis can you give us an approximation could you repeat that for me Michael she's she's asking about um Distributing from that site and about how many trucks you know the the truck count coming and going daily okay right uh as far as trucks in the form of semis we would expect probably to be two a week is what we anticipate right now to product in as far as smaller trucks we hope that number grows as far as a a duly with a trailer coming to pick up materials as far as shipping large semis out of that plant we don't anticipate that being our our plan uh that was done more in our manufacturing facilities in Indiana California and uh Texas thank you I just asked that because you said Clark Road I didn't want that to impede the bus traffic there there's a lot of Clark Road that intersection is just on the western edge of our schools high schools just across the street from it so there was some concern about mixing you know student traffic in with big trucks and things

like that so it's a genuine concern yeah certainly I can't imagine that being a big problem for traffic control um like I said our trucks will only be coming in to restock what we may be selling uh so I I feel pretty comfortable maybe three a week in a really busy season which might be your July August and of course September would be in light of the start of school but I wouldn't imagine it being a lot of traffic on our perfect thank you Michael thank you have a motion is it an ordinance we got to read the ordinance I'm sorry I'm sorry is it an ordinance yeah I didn't flip it in my book I'm sorry M Barber could you read the ordinance please ordinance approving a special perment request for the City of Clarksville Arkansas whereas the City of Clarksville has here to for adopted a zoning ordinance and official zoning map to guide and influence the allocation and arrangement of land uses the development of land and the future building within the corporate limits of the City of Clarksville whereas a petition was filed in accordance with the provisions of said ordinance requesting a special permit for Paul castan in a C3 zone for certain lands within the corporate limits of the city of Clarks whereas a public hearing was held on set petition on September 5th 2024 the Planning Commission approved the special permit request on September 5th 2024 and recommended its approval to the Clarksville City Council on September 9th 2024 now therefore be it ordained by the city council of City of Clarksville Arkansas section one a special permit in a C3 zone for Paul cman shall be granted use as a light manufacturing and retail space on the following described property part of the southeast corner of section 2824 approximately 25 acres being located west Clark Road and Shady Grove Road Clarksville Arkansas section two all ordinances or part of ordinances in Conflict here withth are hereby repealed we'll open it back up for questions and comments sorry I got out

through there I know we've had several people that live out that way complained and wanting it widen so have we done a traffic study out there because I've been out there two time since we got our agenda and there's been like six cars I can promise you there's more than six cars driveing up down that thing a day if you go out there and work on them I could put a traffic count out there but I don't you know it still doesn't how how far of North gags do you plan to go all the way to 64 all 6 yeah that's what you know there's some extensive utilities and stuff in there we got to work around and that's why we want to do a study to see what we can do you have to do Geotech you have to do surveys you got to figure out what easements are and if we can even do it and you know even going through the part down there but through the core there's probably going mitigation we got to pay for and all that but so this 200,000 is just for the that's just for the preconstruction work the engineering survey Geotech I don't think we don't think Country Club is going to be a problem I think the problem is going to come in North or South skags will be you know there's a lot of utilities and stuff we got to find out through there but you know that's one of our it's it's a lot busier than you think if you go out there and you work on it one day you'll realize there's a lot of traffic on and like I said it's just a lot of it is the school buses you know there's no room to pass there's no room pass hardly two cars and for some reason GPS is send 18 wheelers down Country Club and then up scags I don't know how many many times we've had to go send trucks to get them out yeah I do remember that it's that happens pretty routinely but what I'd like to do you know some work on mass and Gil out there and all that and get it all up to shape where it needs to be but you know while we're out in that area we'll do all that at the same time so so this uh would you'd be in contact with CCU on any utilities you'd have to move oh definitely we have that's the reason part of yes Sentry Link Sentry de that's to get it drawn up and everything is what this money's for

so is that widening on both sides of that road yeah we'll widen it you know well without have to you know buy easements I'm sure because there's not much easements out there and move fences and everything when we get ready to do it this is just going to give Morgan you know the money to work with to design it some of that Patrick is even closer than the houses were on Montgomery it's just not possible we just have to work through that as best we can but they did a pretty good job if you go down Montgomery now areas I thought they couldn't widen they widen and actually made it better for the home on South skags it'll be it'll have to be carbon Gutter and ditch you know pipe and drainage is what it would have to be because there's no way we can do it without it it's a sampy area yeah and they're open ditches now so we have to fill those up and you know it'll be it'll be an extensive project but I think it'll be well worth it do they have sewer up there up so far y it doesn't go all the way out I don't it go just to the lift station y yeah it needs a lift station to Ed on South past many ofie states yeah I think I'm not Chad is not here elaborate on exactly where it is I think it stops I think out there by the end of scagg somewhere right in there I believe you know is it Griffith it's right in there somewhere yeah it's somewhere right there close yeah I think I think Chad went out there and looked at for me one time because I know it's somewhere right where the good where the Goods live Barbara and Jimmy before he passed go through that dip and come up on the hill past the the overseas you get up on that Hill there where the goods are there's no that's all I know that's all I do know there's some sir manholes in Griffith Loop but I think it kind of stops right in that area the problem is you can't you have no fall once you go through past the overseas there is no it's all uphill so you have to have a lift station to get it from there and that's the problem so but this like I said this would be just get the design

and everything drawn up yeah then we'll have to come back next year and approve the money for the job it's just that way we can get it done next year if we can get this approved and get it designed yeah the idea is to see if if if it can even be a project you know it's worthwhile project because there could be some expansion toward Housing Development um out further west and this would give us flow of traffic residential traffic not missing with commercial traffic on Sterling hurle 64 seven potentially this is your any other questions I don't know if I answer what you need to no sure do you have the money in your yes yeah we have plenty in there that's for that that's what it's for that's what I was looking right now we have 7. 7,178 464 we have budgeted 6, 96340 a 7.1 million in it Got7 million minus you got some baseball exp coming out that and we get more coming in next year for our projects too [Music] so I'll make a motion to approve the street Improvement or the adjustment to the street Improvement budget for 200,000 is there a second second Miss Barbara Baker yes Bradley yes Edens yes King yeah Ranger yes Thompson yes thank you Council uh the mpb roof replacement have you all had a chance to look at that and when we say roof replacement this has an interesting story Cody it's

not yeah the the roof on the MPV has you all know that we've had to replace the basketball floor on Sunny's court right twice now because of the leaks the air conditioners that are on the roof are causing either condensation or the pans are overfilling and they're following the pipes down and they're getting on the floors we can we have been putting Band-Aids on this for years and if we don't address it now then it's just it's just going to get worse most of the problems on the walking Track are from leaks on the roof and it's just getting worse worse and worse so I'll let Cody and Mike kind of talk about some of the history of it so what we learned is uh during ball games is probably the worst time if it's raining you literally have people out there with plastic catching water and then they're having to sit there with towels and drop Stop The Game Stop The Clock dry up water so me and Mike we got a scissor lift and we took some like stuff you would put on a uh RV roof and spent hours up there and this stuff don't go on Easy by the way we spent hours up there was it water Dew it eventually finds a different hole somewhere else um the unit on the North side never could find a leak but you come in there and there'd be tons of water so we took the ladder truck up there I think slick was there wasn't you yes sir in six seconds I that's how long it took for it just to start pouring water in there they're shooting water from a 100 yards away so two weeks ago we had the kitchenette area um I ain't got my work phone on me but there I got pictures of all the asphalt shingles that they literally just pick up and move eight 10 foot of it out of the way well what's happened is all that is asphalt shingles is just shed that asphalt to the drains and

causing blockage and no waterers draining at all so you got six in of water just sitting on top of that um roof up there and it's it's going to find a way to go somewhere so you're saying whenever we sprayed the water that one time we found leaks and you that it just went somewhere else well we T we put a big tarp around that whole unit and gorilla taped it down just to keep water so that unit didn't get to run this summer because it's if it comes if it comes to rain it just floods the courts what what Patrick how this is evolved to there's four units on that roof that one it's shut down and wrapped up in a tart so we can stop the one leak from happening the other leak that said there was some complaints and this is primarily from the pickle ball groups and we've been complaining about that leak for a year and I went out there and there's no leak right now stay out there for three or four hours there's no leak and apparently it only leaks when I'm not there so five hours pass I go back out there's drops on the floor well I went and turn the air conditioning off the that third unit turned it off had been a leak on there since so the unit's condensating the second unit has got a weird reverse suction so instead of going out the drain line to drain it's sucking water back into the unit filling the pans up and it's about 20 25 gallons of water that pan holds and then just dumps on Force so we're down we're down to two of the four units working and it just progressively is getting worse degrading worse well what I was going to say what would it what would it help if we you know you say something about the the unit on top of the building yeah put yeah put that's what's in this proposal yes that that is in there we looked at doing the sock duck work the same as what's inside the new gym um two big units instead of four and if if y'all noticed how nasty those ducks are inside there it's just years of buildup and you can't take a pocket knif to scratch it off

so so my thought process was you know we we do we did get quite a bit of arpa relief to to the tune of a million dollars we have that in CD that we could use to pay for this or I've given you two options to do short-term financing pledging our our revenue or franchise fees to it and then offsetting Street Improvement percentage to make up of that in our general fund budget originally in our bond when we approved the uh all these projects the soccer field and and baseball field and all that stuff this was in that uh well the walking Track was well I know but we were going to fix air conditioner uh but anyways is there any more of that Bond money left Barbara we're not finished it will there be any yeah there will be a little bit left no because you're going to end up having to pay I think there's 293,000 in there and the Arbitrage on that is going to be about 241,000 that will wind up having to pay and we set that Bond up so that we could use the bond funds to pay it so if you expend the full 293 you're going to have to come up to 241,000 Arbitrage so of the 293 that's left you need to save the 241 to pay the Arbitrage so you have about 49,000 that you use you can use to pay fees and things like that well for for the Layman out there what is arbitr so if you if you borrow $8 million at one 1.9% interest and you put it in the bank account it draws 5% over the time that you have it you make money on it well Uncle Sam wants their share of that you have to pay taxes on it so when you get towards the end of your construction or the end of the fund you

request the bank to run you a a um am amortization on what that Arbitrage might be and as of last week it's going to be around $241,000 and we did we were we did have the foresight to make sure we could use the bond funds to repay it the old Bond wasn't set up that way you had a construction fund you had an admin fund we set this one up as One Fund so we save back enough to pay the Arbitrage so if any of y'all ever been on the roof of the Marvin no it's a real nice it's a real nice ladder like stairs that go up to it you should go look at it what they done years ago is they took what six inches of foam yeah some kind of weird foam and they foam that whole roof over top of the metal so a leak that we have right now there's no black spots on the ceiling or brown spots Mike can't find it it could be coming from 80 feet over here or 80 feet over here enf Roofing I believe was one that came out yeah can't pin point a leak you could run die in it but you're gonna have a really nice blue roof on the inside to find where it comes from that don't come off now Mike I would point out to the council that that ens sent you were Morgan some pictures where they put their fingers under a flap so when you roll out the the tar that that's tar down as the roof they put their finger in and probably a 10- foot stretch of that tar came up and he had it lifted up what about three four inches yeah like three or four feet yeah and so at a minimum it's going to have to be the entire thing is going to have to be and you know recoded somehow and that's just on the asphalt shingles that's on top of the kitchenet that's not the Marvin that's a little bit the Cass stand the kitchenet and a little bit that goes towards the um the weight room is asphalt shingles the rest is the I don't know what kind of foam they used what it's called what kind of guarantee they give

the fish if they replace the roof yeah most I want to say 20 years he was either 15 or 20 years what's where St go years I think I saw him here right years hey on building what kind of warranty did they give you on that roof T was it was it 15 or 20 years you remember I believe it was a 15 year it's what I thought yeah so we're not talking which I don't know they're not yeah so we're not talking having to take this down where you're down to insulation you could scrape and TPO this take the screws out that you see and put a TPO roof same thing it's on the police department most all your buildings downtown now have a big thick white roof and it is sealed and it's good Vann says 20 warranty 20 year I was thinking 15 is it in there it 22 I know I read it in yeah 20 year Ro Point yep is2 the back yeah good catch that it's got to be done also like installation that's that to the gym and look up it's coming down that's off water damage in several places um what they've been doing is taking one in PVC pops and running between the Raptors that pushes that installation back up so when you have on here new flooring

would that be the walking Track as well I think so yes see where it says number 30 the rubber base could be johnsonite or ropy colored they got into an argument over what color so we'll let barara pi whatever that's going to be so that would be that would be the walking Track then yes okay number 29 where it talks about that new for to be Target on the sports mayor just so I can get it in my notes and think about it for a second can you give us those options that you were thinking about again so I gave you two different handouts before the meeting or when that did no oh no there they are so ien I didn't get we actually probably need to meet with Barbara the budget person Comm need to meet so you really have three options you've got your RPD that you can use and there's some short-term financing pledging your franchise revenues but you're talking about a payment of $176,000 you rce that from your general fund you're gonna have to offset that somewhere else either cut your cost but you could take a certain percentage of your street Improvement that's bringing in you know 2.2 million a year reduce that by that 2% or whatever it is and apply that to your general fund that makes up for and if we cash in a CD that was a million dollars you're G to lose 5% of Revenue 60,000 year what and it would be better to do the shortterm finance have a budget meeting I think that would be great idea quick because I long this stuff is going to hold up its prices and it's really good price right now because if you think about the Monroe billing it was . millionair I didn't say

anything Friday FR what time Friday morning or [Music] afternoon what day is oh the baseball committee's meeting on Friday can we not do Wednesday at 4:30 or five wednesday3 Wednesday night's my church night well but I don't think this will take that long I mean four Wednesday would be fine with me if that's fine everybody four o' Wednesday four o' Wednesday yeah who's who else okay I don't know if I can be there actually oh I be there at five I could be there at 5 we make we keep it under 20 minutes I think my class gets out 4:45 go to put you behind St we'll do it at five yeah that works for me about two or three thousand is all 2500 I think the last time all right thank you CCU well you're not getting off you can't you can't pain it off on them no more got to be you this time is it said she's done I thought that were Roger that's Ro I'm sorry I'm Ro Young have my report any questions good to go thank you I'll see you next month thank you
