Okay, and I know you have your timeline set. on here of the substantial one year and final 395. Those were my questions.
I do. And this is for Martha. Nowak Construction Company, have they laid pipe in the city?
Did they do their work in a timely manner?
And on the overall work, were there change orders out of the ordinary added? I know sometimes they find a valve or a fitting or whatever it might be in that type of work where it's something that wasn't in the scope of work that while we're at it, it needs to be done. But Raising the bid above for whatever reason. Was there any history with NOAC?
It reminds me of when we were talking the fiber optic cable and how they were running into things that weren't anticipated but still had to be done or had to find a workaround. But that answers my questions.
I have one more question for Martha, maybe first. Or maybe Jacob, but on NOAC construction, And as far as that goes with deal, too, did they talk about or have you talked about a timeline for them to start construction? Because there's a big difference if they're going to start next week or next month or next year.
Wow. But you have not had that conversation with NOAC?
Okay. Good question, Jacob. The community theater is not part of the city, correct?
Yeah, and I know you and I have talked about that before. A 50-year agreement is seemingly crazy. Do you have any idea what the annual costs for the city are of supplying the janitorial? And I'm guessing lawn is probably included.
On the community theater, if we were to If we were to provide this money, because I think we keep pushing the boundaries of what government is supposed to do. This is money that could be coming in and helping pay property taxes in our community. And I know that agreement you said goes to 37. But could you put a caveat on that? That from this point forward, they'll take care of their own janitorial, their own lawn, their own snow plowing, and take that off your plate or the taxpayer's plate.
I'd like to think that you have 410,000 ways to perhaps do it.
I have one follow up comment. And you might have, Jacob, you might have hit on this earlier, but just wanted to verify this has no impact on the city's budget. No, it does not.
I'll go ahead and make a motion. I trust the Planning Commission, so ordinance number 26-11297, rezoning the subject property from C7, Highway Commercial, the C5, Service Commercial District. I make the motion that it should be approved.
