Thank
you.
Thank you, everyone, for being here today. At the beginning of our agenda, we have a very an agenda for the beginning of our program, which is the consent and action review. And we'll call that to order. And we have, I believe we have a quorum and so we do have a quorum. And so with that, let's begin with our introductions and we'll start with, we'll give with our city clerk, Billy Tons, deputy city clerk,
Anthony Fox, interim city attorney.
Good evening, Renee Johnson, and I'm honored to represent District 4.
Good evening, Dimple Ajmera,
at-large. Dante Anderson, Mayor Pro Tem, District 1. Vi Lowes, Mayor.
Marcus Jones, City Manager.
Malcolm Graham, District
2. Ed Driggs, District 7.
Edwin Peacock, District 6. Good evening, LaWanna Mayfield, Councilmember at-large. Well, thank you for everyone being here, and thank you for those that are attending and watching us either virtually or in person. Um, we really appreciate when we have participation like this for our community and our decisions. So, um, we usually will, we will begin our first items with our consent items. Are there any consent items that the council would like to have for a separate vote or any comment? Ms. Mayfield. Thank you, Madam Mayor. I asked Marie to give me a response for item number 15 that I would like for a separate vote. All right. A separate vote for 15? Yes, and I had questions on our consent items 25 and 26.
All right. So questions on 29 and 25. 25. All right, everybody. All right, here we go. All right, Ms. Mayfield again. 25 and 26. 25
and
26. And that's for comment? Correct. All right. So let's go ahead and address first the motion. I'm sorry, Ms. Johnson? Thank you. Yes.
Can I have a number
20, please? 20? Yes. All right.
Okay.
Item number 20. Okay. All right, so the first item, Ms. Mayfield, would you like to take the first item of item 15? Yes.
All right.
Item 15, Engineering Services for Queens Westfield Storm Drainage Improvement Project. Yes. And my computer is now acting up. So the question that I had on here for item 15 was as far as this proposal in front of us for an amendment, this amendment is for an additional $900,000, which makes the total cost of this project a million 300. Now that we're going into actual design phase, We identified initially two partners through the CBI program. So I wanted to get clarification regarding the percentages that are on here now that this is an additional 900,000. I would think that now that we're actually going into the actual work with design and construction and that this, the company we initially identified
for the Queens-Westfield storm drainage that we would be able to identify additional opportunities. And Marie did share.
Thank you. Council Member Mayfield, so this was a separate agreement. It's amending, but like Ms. Mayfield said, it's for a different set of scope of services. So they did go back to the vendor, but this 9.65% is based on the additional work of this scope for the amendment.
Thank you, Maria. I just wanted clarification on that item. Thank you, Madam Mayor. All right. So that was item 15. Um, so is there a,
we
haven't done any motions for any of them
unless
you're ready to, I'm going to go and say, I was going to ask if you, if we had the, um, 25 and 26. Thank you, madam mayor for 25. And I've asked this question on other projects we're looking at. potential condemnation. I have a challenge with the condemnation process when the property owners are concerned about the potential impacts of the property as far as compensation, specifically for 25. We're looking at 0.074 acre as well as 0.023 acre as well as 0.042. So that is a Combined amount. I want to make sure. And the question that I sent over to Marie specifically for 25 and 26 was asking one, if this is towards the front or the back, because that makes a difference in your property land, if they were interested in selling at some point, but I really wanted to ensure that when we do these projects,
And this is for, this is a clarifying question. Marie, the resident is there now still responsible for their entire lot, even though we've gone in and done work onto their land.
