Council - workshop

The perimeter of the Carstner House at 301 North Pine Street. All this money comes from a subvention from the Alabama History Commission... Questions? Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Sullivan? Or McCluskey?

Hello, I have the point 11Q, it is a contract with Alabama Guard Rail of a amount of 25, 350 dollars to 50 dollars. This concerns five sites that have been damaged in the last two months and that must be repaired. With sunglasses, tanning and all the rest.

Can you tell us when it will start?

I want to make a point at the arc striping and go back to town today to put the thermoplastic paint. RJ McQueen, the polymer cement specialists, are also in town today. I hope that at 7 o'clock, the head of Lyon is in place at the intersection, but the road is redone. We finish the marking and I would say that if the weather remains calm, we are off to respect our 12 September deadline.

It's great. I received a lot of calls from residents of Wood Avenue on this subject last week. I therefore asked Todd to make me a report. I would give news to these people during my closing remarks tonight. We had asked not to advance on a specific date. So I'm going to avoid, you know... And it all depends on the weather. We don't want to be greedy, but they think we're going to keep the deadlines. I went through it today, very impressed. It looks really good. I think it looks really good. We are satisfied with it.

It's very pretty. Thank you. Thank you. Hello. The first point in the order of the day is an hour of modification. And it's for our friends tomorrow, let me pronounce their names correctly. Waste Services of Northeast Mississippi. I call them Waste Connections. This is the annual increase of the IPC that they carry out every month of August on a three-year contract.

This is the third year.

Our contract will expire next year, but this order of modification is 2.30 dollars per tonne. What they notified us in the initial proposal was much higher. It was quite alarming that they went down to this level. Any questions on this subject?

How much does it represent? What is the estimated annual amount according to your calculations?

We calculated it. 70.80, I don't remember the exact number. I can give you this number.

It's... 1,000.

Yeah. Per year. I have to check the details, but I thought the office didn't bring it. Questions on this subject? Are you going to vote for me on this? We have to do it, right?

Yes. Press.

Emendrix's motion supported by MyMaking. All those who are in favor of the motion... Very good. The next point is the proposal of Southern Environmental Engineering for the sampling of the recycling center. These are contracts that we renew every three years. They have been managing this program for years. It is simply the pursuit of this program. It is the same thing for the discharge, another contract where they carry out our rainwater sampling and the reports to the ADM to remain in conformity. Any questions on these two? And the third concern, Southern Environmental Engineering could issue the NPDES rainwater project permit at the discharge. It expires and when it expires, we have to ask for a resumption, that's what it's for. Questions on this subject? Thank you. DavidG63, 250 dollars for the total of the modification order, as planned. Yes, I think that's right. 63. Thank you.

Good afternoon.

The first point concerning the agenda, I can't read it. It's an agreement between them and us so that they can. We have a lot of locations with rocks all over the county. and we have to use a Vectron system to dig the holes. Or if there are fiber optic cables, we have to use our Vectron system. So it's a contract for them to come and dig the holes for us. They do about 10 per day when they come. We would probably need a week to do one. That's why we want to move forward with this contract. And we are at $2,980 per day for these holes. And if they have to stay on site, there are additional fees for the enemies if we keep them for several days. Any questions on this subject? Okay. The next two, we launched an offer call for pruning trees for the year. Lewis Electric won two offer calls and Triproze won three. These contracts are about... The tree plowing for our five projects of the year. Questions about the latter?

Thank you. M. Mason. We will review the two first invoices. I have invoices 11H and 11Y from Insanew which include both Sunbelt Rental for the cooler and the temporary transformer of the town hall. Questions on these two? The next one is the 11J which is billable. These are muscle extinguishers for maintenance and replacement of extinguishers present at the town hall. Questions on this subject? Finally, the last and the 12D, the resolution declaring the property of the 719 Kendrick Street as a public property that we presented at the last council. It is therefore subject to approval this time. Questions? Thank you. Mr. Jourdain.

Hello everyone. I had several invoices concerning repairs. Questions about one of them.

Actually, yes.

Sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry. Tell me a little more about the Royal Avenue pool. What happened there?

The leak. I think we had a leak. Laissez-moi vérifier de quel point il s'agit. Pouvez-vous m'aider? Il semble que nous ayons eu Not frequently, but quite often, leaks. And when we have leaks, you see, they had to break the concrete. Then they had to replace this 2-inch T-connection, which is part of the PVC pipe. Then, make the repair. As I said, it happens and unfortunately, everything is underground, so they have to break the concrete to intervene. I help you. You know, it is indicated that they used a pipe of caliber 80 and the glue is probably the biggest. The job was to cut the concrete and access the area. Thank you. Anything else? I think Amendrix will present the ordinary point, I'm here, and Mary too, if we can answer questions.

Yes, we have had discussions about this from time to time. This is part of the plan. Director for McFarland Park, I think the general obligation goes back to 2023. It's a bit like the paving that we did a few weeks ago for which we had to approve the contract. This is actually internal with the electricity service and aims to improve electric power. We are organizing more and more events in the beach area around the lighthouse and it is therefore about improving the electricity in this area and on the parking lot where the boats are parked. And is it worth it? One of my questions on this subject is to know if the food trucks will be able to connect to a part of what we are installing during this phase.

It's very good. Okay. Here is an overview of what we are doing.

For now, we don't have three-phase food where we organize events, and most of the stage and big musical groups need it. This would allow us to better welcome the events that we are currently organizing. We also currently have two services with transformers and aerial poles that we are removing to bury them. So aesthetically, it will also be prettier. And the places you're talking about, there will be outlets if there is enough space for different food vendors or, you know, for the Skoll's Fest. They have a lot of trailers and others, so it will also be useful for them. We do all this internally. The project will be fully designed and installed by the electricity service. This is an estimation of costs. It could cost a lot less, but we had to give an estimate because we hadn't bought all the distribution equipment yet. We bought all the entrances. We have the prices, but we still lack the commutation boxes, the equipment, all that. So it's an estimate, but the amount will not be exceeded. Does that answer your question?

What date is it?

Our goal is for everything to be in place before the Scholesfest. It may not be over, but at least we're aiming to have the tri-phase system installed by then. We may not have replaced the two services on Poteau with ground transformers yet, but the goal is to have at least the operational tri-phase system before the festival, And the transformers will not be placed on the ground either. They will be resistant to weather and floods. They will be installed about 1.5 meters from the ground. We will have to do with it, but it is a precaution to avoid any problem with the device of commutation in case of flooding.

and me and Maddison had a meeting with the Skulls Fest team. We actually had two meetings. The first meeting took place on January 21st of this year and we had a follow-up meeting on February 19th. They are the ones who asked for this meeting. They are currently spending $45,000 in generators every time a festival is organized, because the power supply on site is simply unsuitable. I told them a year ago, at the previous festival, that this was part of the director's plan and that at some point we hoped it would be done. And it's one of the major obstacles for people who organize big events there because they spend a lot of money on electricity to be able to settle there. And again, you know, it's a tourist recipe, so we want to do our best for these people to keep coming. But anyway, it was one of the examples. And, and, and, you know, because what they were asking for was sponsorships to compensate part of their costs. And we just told them, we absolutely cannot pay $40,000 in sponsorships. But you know, of course, we can invest in our own infrastructure and hopefully save them and many others money on their events there. So thank you both for working so well together and for developing a plan that meets the needs of all those who will use this space.

I would like to add a little more context. This capacity or the plan for this capacity has been the catalyst for tourism and Rob Carnegie is interested in a LWC grant for the conservation of land and water. What is the grant for the conservation of land and water? via what we did for the recreational vehicle park. Exactly. Those there, those there, yes, yes. And they will continue this approach. This LWC grant, if I say it correctly, would exceed the maximum amount planned for this project and have this capacity there. opens doors for them to look for additional funds for development and increased expansion on site. So I mean, it even creates opportunities for us to go and get more money than tourism can ask for and that would exceed our own costs. So I mean, it opens doors for us.

And I would also say that by working with Jones, who is the engineer, we were able to get feedback locally and you know, we could have aimed bigger. But it would have been more expensive. What Marie means is that it will help all the events there, whether it's for Spirit, Freedom or others. We asked a lot for 50A sockets and classic sockets to plug in various devices and that's what this project also includes. We didn't do everything, I don't remember the size of the transformer anymore, but a bigger transformer would have cost a lot of money. By working with them, we were able to design it as we wanted it best.

These 50A sockets are used by people like me to use what we call Spider Boxes. It locks by rotation on 50 amps and we can plug in a series of boxes with their own connectors and sockets, which allows us to distribute electricity above the ground by having several points of access. It's really a revolution on site.

Thank you all.

Thank you, Marie.

Have a good afternoon. Thank you. Mr Musgrove.

Good afternoon. This is not a revolution. A bill of 512 dollars. For the annual maintenance of the CVC system at the municipal court, financed by the budget. This is the replacement of the filters and the visual inspection of the units. Questions? I think you could better explain that. I think that's all I know. This is what is indicated on the invoice. Visual inspection and change of all filters. That's it. Thank you.

Very well, Mr. Williams. J'ai le point 13A qui concerne la licence d'alcool pour l'événement des 3 et 4 octobre. Vous parliez du Scholl's Fest. C'est la licence d'alcool pour cet événement.

Il s'agit d'une annexe 140 pour des événements spéciaux avec vente d'alcool, bière et vin sur place.

Des questions ? Every time you come here, you ask for more alcohol, beer or wine, don't you, Ricky? That must be my field. I don't... Sorry, yes. Thank you. That will be all for this work session and we will start around 5 p.m. Take a break.
