ADMINISTRATOR TOWNSEND noted emergency sewer repairs were needed in the 200 Block of West 17th Avenue. This block is on the list to be done with the USDA monies. Repairs will be made now with the finish work completed in the fall. The city received 5 quotes out of 8 requested with Perna Construction giving a good price. At this meeting Townsend is requesting Council give verbal authority to do this work. The City Hall expansion project was also discussed as MJJ Construction was the low bidder with a bid of $1,575.000.00. Funding is in place with one grant for $500,000.00 and a $1.1 million bond. Townsend noted some electric items were removed and trim work changed. Townsend is hopeful this can be awarded at the next meeting as the bid is currently being reviewed by our Engineer and Solicitor. Also emergency repairs are being addressed at 232 Seabreeze Court.
COUNCILMAN OGEN noted he has been working on the Master Plan for the City and finds three story buildings are being built on 25’ and 30’ lots. Ogen feels Council should do an amendment immediately instead of waiting for the Master Plan. Ogen wants also to add vacant lots. Height of building should be in proportion to the width of the lot. Mayor Henfey thanked Ogen for his work with this project.
ADMINISTRATOR TOWNSEND asked Council to consider a 2 year commitment to COWCO as this needs to be finalized today. Duncan spoke of a situation where a homeowner needed architect plans for an above ground pool. Duncan feels COWCO are saying one thing but doing another. Maschio stated he is not on board for a two year commitment. Koehler feels they have not done enough with the personnel situation. Rosenello stated he is fine with 1 year but hesitant on a 2 year commitment. It was noted by all Council members that they want this office to succeed. Resolution #24 will be added to the agenda for an agreement to continue COWCO for one year – 01/01/09 through 12/31/09.
On a motion by Koehler, seconded by McCullion, that caucus now be adjourned until the regular meeting begins at 10:00 AM. Carried. 10:03 AM
