0:02 – 0:43Speaker 1

Okay, welcome to our city council meeting for Wednesday, April 8th. We apologize for the late start for those here. Um, we're wrapping up our other meeting. Want to just kind of finish an agenda item. So, our apologies there, but we'll get started tonight with the pledge of allegiance by Jill Lemon. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

0:49 – 1:50Speaker 1

Thank you, Jill. Okay, we'll move on to item 5.2, city council comments and recognitions. Anything from council tonight? Okay, seeing none, we will move to our public comment portion. Um, at this point, audience members may bring any item within the city's purview to the city council's attention. Comments will be limited to two minutes.

1:52 – 3:06Speaker 1

Yeah. Uh, thank you for for having me tonight. Um, I wanted to address the council briefly um to share our vision um for for the city of Haramman uh and a new way to bring revenue to the to the city. Um, I noticed the the stubbed out power outside and potentially some some plans for EV charging there. But, um, I started my company about two years ago and, uh, in the the early days, very early on, uh, I said a prayer and I asked, "How do we make this thing work?" The answer I got was, "Make it about everyone else." And, um, that resonated. That that sounded like a good plan. And so, um, just in general terms, I know I'm running out of time, but when we put in chargers, we'll put them in at our cost. There's plenty of revenue that comes out of these chargers that we would be happy to share with the city of Haramman and its residents. Um, with no conditions. Thanks for having us. And, um, we'll talk more specifically on other sites soon.

3:04 – 3:16Speaker 1

Okay. Can you sh state your name for us? Jordan Marsh. Uh, and that company is Terrapen Electric Concepts. Perfect. Okay. Thank you, Jordan. Appreciate you being here tonight.

3:17 – 5:16Speaker 1

Good evening. My name is Carrie Mercer. I am here representing South Valley Performing Arts. Thank you for having me and allowing me to to take a few minutes or a couple minutes. I just wanted to share with you quickly um just our mission statement and why um we feel it's important um for the community. Um, South Valley Performing Arts creates transformative musical theater experiences that inspire, educate, and unite, empowering artists of all ages, welcoming new voices and investing in our community through arts, education, volunteerism, and charitable support for future generations. And then our catchphrase, if you will, is bringing stories to life and giving back through every act. So for a long time I have worked with Herman City um doing productions and helping the youth and teens um find find a place and find that joy of of being on the stage and finding confidence in new friends. We've also had a lot of residents that have come and volunteered and found a place as well. So what we've done is we've gone to every city in the South Valley and we now have liaison from every city. So from West Jordan, South Jordan, Riverton, Haramman, and Bluffdale. So we have a representative from each of their arts councils as well as Haramman's um to create the South Valley Performing Arts. And what our goal is is to bring everybody from every other city to come into Haramman. So we do things like master classes, musical performances, uh summer camps and classes, things like that. And what we've seen, we just finished a master class and we had equal representation from every single city that we were able to bring here to Haramman. So we were really really thrilled about that. Um we are trying to just put on these musical productions and we have also partnered with Jordan Education Foundation and they have given us access to all of their schools to perform in and what we will do in return is give them a portion of our proceeds

5:13 – 5:37Speaker 1

that actually help the schools and their um performing arts departments as well and build those up. So thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you Carrie. Okay, see no further public comment, we'll move on to our council reports tonight and we'll start with Jared.

5:35 – 7:11Speaker 1

All right, Unified Fire Authority, we begin the next part of the budget process tomorrow with our finance committee. So, I will save the fun of that for you for for later. Um and then the garbage board was front waste recycling district that we held a brief meeting with them. I say there was a meeting held last Thursday. My report is simply I I don't feel it was very productive at all. Um there's really kind of two ways forward right now. What I heard from their representative/lobbyist was they felt the ball was in our court to make some sort of offer to find a mutual agreement. Um and the second route, so there's the route of finding a mutual agreement still and then there's the route of waiting for the new legislation to be effective May 6th. Then we just follow follow those provisions. Um so I believe our I was participating remotely. immediately staff told him, "Look, we'll have to bring this back to the council and see." So, my suggestion would be for council to task kind of our working group, which has been comprised of Nathan and his team and the mayor and I um to see if we can come up with a proposal to bring to the the council to propose to them as a mutual agreement and then go from there. And at the same time, I think we also we need to pursue both avenues, right? Plan on preparing to follow the new provisions May 6th, but hopefully we can find an agreement between now and then. Thank you, Teddy.

7:08 – 7:44Speaker 1

Um Carrie, I know Mike Haynes lives that uh board. He's on your board for um from the Jeff. It's a fun board for me to be on. Um next week we have our W wastewater treatment um conference down in St. George. I'll be attending that with another council member from Riverton uh to help celebrate some awards and winning uh that our wonderful staff has done there at the Jordan Basement Improvement District. And that's all I have for this week. Perfect. Thank you, Matt.

7:42 – 9:39Speaker 1

All right. Some news from the Jordan Valley Conservancy District uh from their board meeting uh today. Uh the board voted to uh establish the water supply available level for this year. Uh that is assigned a numerical number from zero to four with zero basically meaning we got lots of water and four meaning we don't have very much water at all. Uh they voted to set that level uh this year at two. Uh so just a couple of things that kind of come into play uh with that specific uh level is uh there's a 10% reduction uh for the typical use of the wholesale member agencies uh which we are a part of um and then if uh if we as Herobman City uh go over 110% of our contracted volume with them then we are assessed a pretty significant sir charge on that. Um and then of course uh the public is encouraged to uh reduce their total water consumption by 10%. And then that they note that um residential and commercial lawn water restrictions uh you know lawns are going to stay alive but not necessarily thriving. So brown's the cool green again this year. So that's information coming from uh the water valley conserv or Jordan Bradley water conservancy district. Uh also uh about a week and a half ago I had a chance to attend uh fire school 101 which is put on by uh unified fire and um and labor for unified fire. And they uh they basically put us through the paces. We show up at 6:30 in the morning and we're done at 4:30. and we get a

9:37 – 10:22Speaker 1

little bit of a a taste of what it's like to be a firefighter and a parame paramedic. And it helps um it does a really good job of helping um elected officials just get a just a little glimpse of what it's like to do their job for a day. And we just get a little bit of a of a taste of it. And we get to play uh with their toys. I call them toys, but some pretty awesome equipment that they use to keep us safe. Um, and so I just wanted to uh to thank Unified Fire for that opportunity uh to uh to get educated a little bit.

10:19 – 11:03Speaker 1

Perfect. Thank you. Okay, I don't have anything to bring tonight, so we'll move on to item nine, our consent agenda. Um, look for a motion. Motion to approve the consent agenda as written. Second by Jared, second by Oh, Tara, I'm so sorry. Tara, are you still online with us? I am. And I don't have anything to report. I'm so sorry. Nothing. I'm so glad. And also note that Tara is with us. She's at a She's at a work training in southern Utah with her state job. So, thank you, Tara. Sorry. I'm so sorry.

11:01 – 11:43Speaker 1

No problem. And also happy birthday to Matt. Thank you. So, so we will not sing because we don't sing. So, thank you again. Yes, Carrie sings. She can sing to you after. Carrie sings. So, Jill sings, too. I'm pretty sure Jill sings. You would have to give her another 30 seconds, I guess, to your preview. Oh my gosh. Okay. Anyway, so we did have a motion on the table for consent. Um, that's what made me because I was going to go through the roll call and I realized Tara was online. So, got a motion on the table. So, we'll go roll call vote. Jared, yes. Teddy, yes. Matt, yes. Tara, yes. No vote yes. That motion carries. Thank you.

11:40 – 13:40Speaker 1

Okay. Uh, item 10.1, discussion and consideration of an ordinance to amend section 4-2-3 of the Herman City Code regarding firework discharge restrictions and adopting an updated restriction map. All right, have a presentation coming up here. It's just really quick. Following up from our last council meeting, this item was pulled off the consent agenda and so we went and gathered the information and updated the map as was requested by the council. So, this first map shown here, um, we've highlighted the areas that we've added to the restricting or restrict restricted areas. Um, we talked about areas out west along 7530. We talked about areas around the Cove and around the Salt Lake Community College. Another one that we noticed was we were looking at the other cities, neighboring cities maps in South Jordan. Um, all of Daybreak is restricted. So, we looked at this and there were some pockets north of Midas Creek. So, we recommended that we'd restrict Midas Creek to the north just to be consistent with the South Jordan border. And uh just just a note, Riverton and Bluffell only highlighted their creeks. So we just our creeks line right up with theirs so that we're consistent with our neighboring maps. Um we also pulled police call data have the number of calls shown on the left in the table and then they're graphically shown on the map. Um to note in 2024 there were a lot more calls than normal. Uh there were 183 calls regarding sto fireworks being lit off in the Miller Crossing storm drain pipe. And those calls all came in between July 11th and August 10th. So um what's interesting is the next slide shows that there was only one fire that

13:37 – 14:23Speaker 1

year. So concrete pipes don't light on fire. But um but it was it was good to get the calls and for people to be safe and it is restricted in that area anyway because it is a an open space area. Um but this shows the the fire department calls and of course we have Chief Stroberg and Chief Whittison here to answer any questions about police calls or the fire department calls. Um but you can see there there aren't a lot of actual firework fire calls here. Um, and then that it's about 66% of the the calls for our peak month versus our non- peak month. Um, any questions on the fire or the police or the fire department calls on those maps? Okay,

14:21Speaker 1

thank you for putting together.

14:23 – 15:14Speaker 1

So, part of this uh motion is also to amend the code. You can see on the left here uh what is proposed to be amended. it actually simplifies quite a bit and takes out some of the the numbers and the locations and references the map more directly and so we'll just be required to update the map which we already are by the county um annually and then the code will reference the map and so that'll be what's guiding um so staff recommends approval of this and be happy to answer any questions if you have any. So, you've taken the description of the distance off of the um policy or the code, but it's on the map. So, if we want to change that down to 100 or 200 or 500, we could Okay,

15:11 – 15:44Speaker 1

that's correct. If if I may, some of this is coming out of state statute on what you can you can do. And so when you restrict an area, we're supposed to be able to point to a um we have to be able to articulate what environmental hazard we're trying to pull people back from. So that's I think where the 200 ft comes from. I don't think that was Haramman. I think that's everywhere is the state statute.

15:45 – 16:34Speaker 1

I'm going to scroll for just a second while they're looking at the maps. Um our attorney's not here. There's one extra thing I'd ask him to maybe mention because I just think that most people are completely unaware. So if you look at the all the firework calls, 183, right, kids messing around at a at a storm drain pipe, etc. Um, I'd asked him to maybe talk to the liability issue. I I just I just don't think most people are aware. Like if you're if you set off a firework and it lands on somebody's, you know, bottle rocket lands on somebody's house and burns their house down, who's liable for that? ific goes in an open field, burns the field down, we've got a a a statewide, you know, a you know, agencies from around the state responding to a hillside fire. Who who pays for that?

16:31Speaker 1

Can you speak to that or Yeah, go ahead, Anthony. Yeah.

16:34 – 17:33Speaker 1

Um, so law already allows there to be criminal and civil liability when uh for human cause fires, and that of course includes fireworks. Um it's uh also if it's any lit off in anywhere within that mapped area, it's considered already considered negligent or intentional, reckless. So um you're you are subject to uh criminal charges. Also, the state code allows for recovery of suppression costs and damages. So, not just what the damage was done, but also all of the fire suppression costs, which can be extraordinary to uh put the fire out. So, if you think about all the ground resources that are responding, but also the air resources that are extraordinarily expensive, those uh an individual can be responsible for those costs

17:31 – 18:13Speaker 1

and if they're underage, their parents are responsible. So, I just wanted to mention that just because a lot I think a lot of times our attitudes are, well, fireworks are a harmless thing and we're in a neighborhood and what harm can it do? Well, just about every year somewhere in the valley something goes horribly wrong and it's it's not just an oopsie. It it's kind of a lifechanging event for for both sides, right? So, from criminal prosecution to pay literally paying for that for the rest of your life. Well, not only that. I mean, there are several mishaps per year of actually handling and exploding them and they're disforming at best for individuals.

18:10 – 20:08Speaker 1

You can also do everything right according to directions on the fireworks. You can be lighting the fireworks off in an area which is 100% legal to do so in the middle of the street. That firework sets your neighbor's house on fire even though you followed all of the rules. I can tell you from professional experience over the last three decades, you're paying for it. So, I I I don't take lightly, you know, basically taking somebody's ability to light off a firework away. Um, I like fireworks. I like watching fireworks. I know a lot of people like to light off fireworks. Um, and um, you know, I I know that I had some, you know, specific, you know, input in into some areas, you know, that are going to affect the people in my district that they were allowed to light off fireworks last year and and they're not going to be able to do it this year. And I and I don't take that, you know, lightly. Um, and and there's factors that need to be weighed, you know, to do that. Um, but you know, this year is is shaping up to just be a really bad fire year. Everybody's seen in the news stuff's burning down even starting last month. Um, and I I think we're all grateful for the rain that we had a couple of weeks ago. that's going to turn things green right now, but all that stuff that that allowed to grow is going to turn brown in the summer because it's it's coming. So, there's going to be plenty of fuel. We're going to revisit this, you know, every year. And we just need to um you know make sure that um we are balancing

20:05 – 20:45Speaker 1

the the fire danger with the ability to light off fireworks. Thank you. And again, I'll just echo we get it we go over this every year. So I mean this is it's a bad year this year. If we get it hopefully we have a wet winter and we can scale it back the restrictions next year, right? it. I mean, we did debate a full-on ban, right? So, we that we're trying to find a reasonable solution here. So, I think we're there. Thank you guys for changing that map up and hitting those harder areas. For sure. Yep. Thank you, Mike. Thank you everybody for your help on this.

20:42 – 21:11Speaker 1

Okay. I'll look for a motion. A motion to approve ordinance number 2026-09 amending section 4-2-3 of the Haramman City Code regarding fireworks discharge restrictions and adopting the updated restriction map. Second motion by Matt, second by Teddy. Um Jared, yes. Teddy, yes. Matt, yep. Terra, yes.

21:08 – 23:02Speaker 1

No vote yes. That motion carries. Okay, we'll go to item 10.2, two discussion and award of grant funding for fiscal year 2027. Uh Kyle, thank you, mayor. I will keep this brief so the council can have discussion on this item. Uh so uh as you know the city does have a grant program where we will award uh grant funding to uh organizations within the community. Uh we did receive four um we did receive four requests this year. Um they were the full uh packet was included in the city council packet on those. So I won't go necessarily through them in detail. Um but I do have the four applications received on the screen here. Um we have had a couple people speak during public comment um that did submit an application. Uh so one was for Terrapin Electric Concepts uh for 52,212 KMS Foundation for 7500. Uh Friends of Haramman for 95,000. Uh South Valley Performing Arts of 15,000. Uh so the total requests for 100 were 169,712. Last year's grant funding was 90,500 um consistent with other um budgetary items that we we um deal with as we start the budget. We always start with the base budget. Um so we were um staff's recommendation is to award up to 90,500. Um our assistant city manager did lead um the recommended funding uh recommendations. Um, but I am happy to answer any questions uh before any discussion you and the c the council might have.

23:05 – 23:51Speaker 1

I don't think so. Go ahead. I was going to say first off, we don't have I mean I've been through a few of these at the county track board stuff like that sometimes with presentations. We don't haven't done that right necessarily, but we've had these packets. and car we've talked you know last year I think there was a perception that we kind of just brought it up in this meeting and didn't discuss just so everybody aware that applied like we've been through it we've had the packets we've had the information we've gone through your whole application so just there may not be a robust discussion with back and forth but we've seen your all four great applications for what wanting to be you know staff's come up with our recommend recommendation but it's now on us to finalize or

23:49 – 24:43Speaker 1

yeah mayor I just going to mention that we when we have these applications come in that they we have amazing partners that we've um seen affect our communities and and do things in our communities and also the goals of me personally or the council. I don't want to speak on on the behalf of the council but where they align to what we want to see our grant money going towards um throughout the city. So, and I will by way of note, I'll just say too, I've participated in all three of the arts components. I guess I've been to some of the Kink music studio stuff. Angela does a great job. I went to one of their performances last year. It was phenomenal. Right. Of course, we're we're familiar with Friends of Herman and all they do. It's more than arts, right? It's arts. It's trails. And Jill's doing an amazing job in in South Valley Performing Arts. Unfortunately, I didn't make a production this year, but I know your kids have been

24:42 – 25:10Speaker 1

there all the time, you know, huge fan of you and Bethany and all you're doing. Of course, for sure. So, um I will say and just to tear up, I will say staff and I agree with staff's recommendation. I love what you want to do, but I don't think it fits within the parameters of this grant, right? This is for arts for so so I think there's ways we can talk. So, we'll talk down the road, but I think there's ways we can engage about charters.

25:11 – 25:50Speaker 1

Okay. So, we'll talk. I would love to maybe what we can do is get together after this because we do this every year. So, I don't think we anticipate something like that. So, we can't really engage in much back and forth here. But, let's talk. I would love to have you reach out to me and let's, you know, we can start a conversation about how that could work. So, anyways, that's just and that's just my opinion, right? But um another thing I will add is I talked to Nathan and Wendy because when I saw the recommendations from staff um I'll be honest it's and I put Wendy I'm not saying anything against staff at all right here but I've always been concerned about it felt like our levels were down that first budget from what

25:49 – 27:17Speaker 1

I thought they were anyways from what we had but they've made it work right friends of Hammond's made that work so I worried about scaling it back to 755 for them but I think they do a lot because it goes beyond arts it's they've been able to secure matching grants beyond this 90 I mean they've maximized the money I mean in a big way right but then I think the other groups are doing amazing work too and I don't want to so I don't want to pull them back either so I did reach out to Nathan Wendy said is their budget right is what are we missing is there and I'll just put this out there Nathan I hope it's okay to say that we after reaching out to them there is some sponsorship money that was that we did with the Warriors and everybody we've done in previous years I don't none of that's there anymore so that's still there in the budget though. I would like to propose we pull that 15,000 in fully fund the n the then the 90,500 and I'm putting a number out there and you guys can discuss. I'd like to still fund friends of Herman the 90 90,500 as well as 7500 for um South Valley Performing Arts. I talked to Carrie. They're thrilled with that. So just even though they requested 15, they're thrilled with that. Um and then I tried to get a hold of Angela. I couldn't get Angela to um get back with me, but I'm sure she'll love the 7500 because that's what she requested. So, I'm just going to put that out there on the table. I think I'm not saying we don't have to have discussion, but I think by pulling that budget over, Nathan, you can speak to that, but I think we can fund Friends of Herman at 90,500, King Music Studio at 75, and South Valley at 75.

27:15 – 27:40Speaker 1

95,000. 90,500. It's less. Yeah, that's what they requested, but 90,500 is the budget. Yeah, there was uh several years ago council in the budget well was during the last bianium said people were coming in asking you for spons sponsorships to do things and we didn't have any money so we set some aside. We have not spent that

27:38 – 28:20Speaker 1

uh in the current year and it's also in the that that just goes back in the the the fund balance. So I'm not saying spend this year's but it's also in the proposal proposed budget you saw. We could pull it from there, just put it into this part and then you wouldn't have the the money if somebody came in and asked you for a sponsorship. Uh but you got asked for a bunch. We didn't fund them. We put money in. Nobody's asked us since. So if we pull it out, then we'll get all those requests. But let's uh Well, I thought that is some money why we were doing this process anyway. So that we didn't have these ad hoc sponsorship things. It's we do this once a year and you can put in for it next year.

28:17 – 29:14Speaker 1

Yeah. And I I think the sp I'm I'm trying to remember. It was like for we we had the rugby shield come in and we found some money. We we took it that year from economic development. Uh but it was to try and handle those. And that's kind of what's at least for me that's what spurred this on was to one we we kind of made that separation with the arts council and mayor talked to that a little bit because we can't fund 100% of it but then also we've got other other competing community interests that we want to be able to support. So rather than try to dig some money up from somewhere during the year. this is what our budget is and we'll go through this process once a year and if somebody comes for me if somebody comes in you know six months from now and says hey we we need to we would really like the city to sponsor this warriors thing for $15,000 well we'll look at it next year this is our process

29:13 – 29:48Speaker 1

in this process sir you do you want to so this this originally started from the old budget we were allocating towards that the the art council and the other requirements so what what I'm saying is that whatever this budget is is to me is what it should be. We shouldn't be doing extra sponsorships outside of this. So what he's saying is let's pull that 15,000 permanently almost a permanent into this space. So let's make this budget now next year. I mean that's not a motion right now but I think

29:45 – 30:21Speaker 1

so in our proposed budget we'll we'll take it from the line item where it's in now. We'll put it here. It won't change the bottom line of the general fund. It'll just move where it's at. It may move. I think I can't see who has ownership on that. It's in uh this is in council and this one's in e is in this in events. It's in cultural arts. Cultural and arts. So they're both in the general fund. It's not a it's not a big deal. So right now we just have two buckets and we'll just make them one.

30:22 – 30:59Speaker 1

I love that. That way, friends of Herman's kept whole, if you will, whole, if you will, and now we've expanded to a couple of other options and a better I mean, I think this is a better use of taxpayer dollars than a sponsorship, if I'm being honest. I agree. So, I mean, that one that one sponsorship or that program did bring us That was great that it was that was great that year. But I think that warrant I mean that served it purpose. And again, that something like that could come and we could pull it out down the road if we felt the need. Any other discussion on this? I'm not trying to push through this. So just but at the same time we don't have to we like to talk a lot. We don't have to bel labor too much.

30:57 – 31:42Speaker 1

Okay. Then I'll make a motion to award grant funding in the amount of 90,500 for the 2027 fiscal year as fall. Well, are we doing 90? No, you're doing uh 10500. I'm going to a motion to award grant funding um in the following following amounts to the following organizations. 7,500 to KMS KMS Foundation. Uh the 90 Are we doing 90,500? 90,500 for Friends of Haramman and 7,500 for South Valley Performing Arts. Second. Love it. Okay. Motion by Jared, second by Matt. We'll go Jared. Yes. Teddy, yes. Matt, yes. Tara, yes. And I'll vote yes as well. That motion carries.

31:41 – 31:56Speaker 1

Thank you. Thank you everybody. And Jordan reached out to me. So, okay. 10.3 Consideration of a construction management contract with Civil Science for the Herman Boulevard Extension Project. Bryce

31:53 – 33:51Speaker 1

Okay. Yes. Um, as we have discussed, there is a project under design right now when it's pretty close to to going con to construction. This is the Herman Boulevard extension project. So down at the very west end of where Herman Boulevard terminates now, there's a project to extend that out to meet at an intersection with the U11 project that UD do is working on currently. And that project as we have discussed is actually was originally part of a UD do scope to build that that project but has since um been transferred into uh Herman city jurisdiction to build the road but still use those UD do funds that were intended for the project. Um and as a requirement of that the road has to be built up to to UD do standards and has to be inspected as as if it is a UD do project. So, this contract is Oh, yeah. There's kind of the the zoom in of the Herman Boulevard extension that we're talking about for this project. Um, there the red dash lines are all the kind of future roads in the area. Um, but yeah, that's that's the area of the project. But um as I was mentioning because this has to be built to U dot specifications and to accept the U dot funds and you utilize the U dot funds um a requirement is is that we hire the construction management from their cons consultant pool. So they've kind of vetted a few engineering firms that uh oversee project construction. And so we vetted a few of those and uh have a proposal from civil science who we are recommending uh moving forward with on the construction management of this roadway project. Um what that means is project oversight. So they'll have a resident engineer, you know, a fancy name for a project manager

33:49 – 34:31Speaker 1

that oversees all of the engineering, uh material testing, inspection of public infrastructure, inspection of landscape and irrigation, and then obviously as I have discussed, all of this inspection needs to make sure that we're meeting UD do standards so that we do ensure that we get reimbursed for the cost of this project from those UD do numbers. Um the total cost is just over a million dollars and as I mentioned the city is to be reimbursed 100% by UD do um and yeah with that I can answer any questions on the the contract or the process. Have they started construction on this yet? They're moving quite a bit.

34:29 – 35:16Speaker 1

No. So UD do has started their portion on U11 and so there's been some grading work and if you've driven on 118th out west out by Bakus you'll see the impacts because that's where they're starting. There's been some preliminary grading that the uh public infrastructure district Olympia has been doing ahead of this project because they knew it were it was coming. So there is some preliminary grading already done. Um but as the the um contract hasn't been awarded for construction yet. So, the bid still uh hasn't been completed yet. Um, so it hasn't officially started. There's been some work by the developer in the area to kind of prep for the for the project, but no, it hasn't officially begun yet.

35:19 – 36:02Speaker 1

Okay, seems pretty straightforward. I'll look for a motion. Is that it? You're done, right? You're done. Yeah, that's all I've got. Okay, I'll look for a motion. I'll make a motion to approve the construction management contract with civil science and construction management services on the Herman Boulevard extension project. Okay. Motion by Teddy. Second.
