AGENDA. THANK YOU, MS. WITTEN.ANY QUESTIONS ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA FOR THE CITY MANAGER? THERE IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP.
AS WE APPROACH OUR NEXT MEETING ON DECEMBER 21, WE WOULD NORMALLY HAVE A WORK SESSION ON DECEMBER THE 16TH.
I WOULD LIKE FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER SPENDING A LITTLE EXTRA TIME AT THAT WORK SESSION. THERE ARE TWO ITEMS THAT I BELIEVE ARE WORTH SPENDING SOME TIME LEARNING MORE ABOUT.
NUMBER ONE, THERE IS A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN NORTHWEST AUBURN CALLED OLD STANFORD. IT'S A SIGNIFICANT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LARGER THAN ANY THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS SEEN IN HIS THREE YEARS OF SERVICE FOR THE CITIZENS OF AUBURN.
THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME UNIQUE THINGS AND CIRCUMSTANCES ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AND IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IT WOULD BE THE WORK THE COUNCIL'S TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE STAFF MAKE A PRESENTATION ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND BE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS IN A COMFORTABLE SETTING AND PREPARE FOR WHAT DECISIONS WE MIGHT BE MAKING ON THE MEETING OF DECEMBER 21.
I WOULD LIKE FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER COMING IN A LITTLE EARLY TO TALK ABOUT THAT. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER ITEM THAT HAS COME INTO FRUITION HERE. MANY OF YOU MIGHT BE AWARE THAT THE AUBURN AIRPORT IS GOING TO HAVE TO EXPAND ITS RUNWAY DUE TO AN FAA MANDATE. AND CREATE A SAFETY ZONE.
TO DO THIS, THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO CROSS THE ROAD AT SAUGAHATCHEE ROAD AND GO INTO THE INDIAN PINES GOLF COURSE.
THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON REALLY SINCE I WAS SWORN IN. WE HAVE BEEN TO WASHINGTON, DC A COUPLE OF TIMES TO SEE OUR SENATOR AND TO SEE OUR CONGRESSMEN. WE HAVE BEEN TO MONTGOMERY TO TALK TO OUR REPRESENTATIVE DOWN THERE.
IT IS TIME NOW I THINK TO PRESENT THIS PROJECT TO YOU GUYS AND LET YOU ALL FULLY UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF WHAT THIS PROJECT WOULD BE ABOUT AND POSSIBLY WHAT THE INVESTMENT THAT THE CITY WOULD NEED TO MAKE TO MAKE THE GULF COURSE HOLD.
THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION THERE THAT I KNOW ALL ABOUT.
BETH KNOWS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT BECAUSE SHE ALSO SERVES ON THE AIRPORT BOARD. IT IS I BELIEVE ALL OF Y'ALL NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR US TO SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT THAT. I HAVE ASKED A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE AIRPORT AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE INDIAN PINES BOARD TO COME AND ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL AT THAT TIME.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER IS ON THE 16TH TO COME IN AT 3:30 AS OPPOSED TO 4 O'CLOCK AND SPEND POSSIBLY AN HOUR TO AN HOUR AND A HALF, MAYBE TWO HOURS WITH THE STAFF TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THESE THINGS.
WILL ALSO GET PREPARED FOR OUR MEETING ON THE 21ST AND HAVE OUR REGULAR WORK SESSION AT THAT TIME.
WITH THE COUNCIL BE OKAY WITH THAT AND CITY MANAGER DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS TO MAKE ON THAT?
>> SPEAKER: WE ARE PREPARED FOR THAT DATE IF YOU GUYS ARE AVAILABLE. WE WILL DO THAT IN THE TRAINING
CENTER. >> SPEAKER: WE WILL STILL BE ON
PHONE? >> SPEAKER: NOT IN THAT CASE BECAUSE IT WOULD NEED TO BE IN PERSON.
WE HAVE AN IN PERSON MEETING NORMALLY THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE BEEN JOINING BY PHONE. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THIS ON ZOOM BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO.
SO THEREFORE IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE VISUALS AND BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU NEED TO BE THERE PERSON.
AND I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR WE ARE NOT DELIBERATING AT THIS MEETING. IT'S FOR YOU TO GATHER INFORMATION. YOU HAVE BEEN VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT THAT AND YOU DON'T DELIBERATE AT THESE MEETINGS BUT IT IS TIME FOR QUESTION AND ANSWER.
[00:05:01]
THE OTHER MISNOMER ARE OUT THERE ABOUT WHY THE AIRPORT IS BEING ASKED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO YOU THERE NOT REQUESTING ANYTHING OF YOU AT THIS TIME. IT IS A DIFFERENT SCENARIO THAN THE APPLICANT FOR OLD STANFORD IS WELCOME TO BE PRESENT IN THE ROOM TO LISTEN TO EVERYTHING BEING SAID AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS BUT THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK.YOU CAN'T ASK THEM QUESTIONS AND THEY MAY NOT PRESENT AT THIS
MEETING. >> SPEAKER: THINK OF HER CLEAN
THAT UP. >> SPEAKER: THE PUBLIC WAS SO
BEEN INVITED? >> SPEAKER: ABSOLUTELY.
>> SPEAKER: THE WHOLE THING STARTS AT 3:30 IT ASIDE UNTIL IT
IS DONE AND EVERYBODY IS WELCOME >> SPEAKER: AND AT THE BOSTON MEETING AND THERE SHOULD BE AMPLE SPACE THERE FOR THE PUBLIC
TO ATTEND. >> SPEAKER: THERE SHOULD BE.
>> SPEAKER: COUNCIL OKAY WITH THIS? SO 3:30 ON THE 16TH. WE WILL TAKE UP OUR WORK SESSION AND NORMAL MEETING ON THE 21ST AND ALSO TALK ABOUT OLD STANFORD AS WELL AS THE AIRPORT INDIAN PINES.
ONE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE CITY COUNCIL AND I WOULD LIKE AS A QUESTION TO THE CITY MANAGER.
ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO THE PUBLIC WAS INVOLVED WITH OUR PARKS AND ADVISORY TEAM IN DEVELOPING SOME CRITERIA AND SOME PLANS FOR AUBURN'S FUTURE WHEN IT CAME TO BUILDOUT OF NEW PARKS AND RECKLESS SILLY'S. AS WE APPROACH 2022, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT WE NEED TO REEVALUATE THOSE PRIORITIES AND GO BACK AND LOOK AT THOSE AND SEE IF THEY ARE STILL THE BEST PAST FOUR FOR A COMMUNITY. IT IS MY BELIEF IN LISTENING TO MANY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE SLOWLY BUT SURELY GETTING SQUEEZED IN SPACE FOR SOME OF THE ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES THAT OUR CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN AND SOME RESPECT OUR ADULTS PARTICIPATE IN. I BELIEVE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO EVA -- REEVALUATE WHETHER OUR PRIORITIES NEED TO BE CHANGED AS WE MOVE FORWARD AS A COUNCIL. NEXT YEAR IS OUR BIANNUAL BUDGET YEAR. THE STAFF AND OUR SALES WILL SPEND A LOT OF TIME PLANNING THE EXPENSES AND THE BUDGET FOR THE COUNCIL AS WE APPROACH THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
THIS DOES GIVE US A LITTLE TIME NOW TO THINK FORWARD ON THAT TOPIC. MY SIMPLE REQUEST IS, MS. CROUCH, IF THE COUNCIL IS WILLING, TO HAVE THE PARKS IN A ADVISORY BOARD JUST REEVALUATE THE PRIORITIES THAT ARE SET NOW AND GIVE US THEIR THOUGHTS AND THEIR OPINIONS AS TO WHETHER THOSE ARE STILL PERTINENT AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO THE YEAR 2022.
>> SPEAKER: I'VE BEEN HAVING DISCUSSIONS FOR SOME TIME WITH OUR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT -- WITH THE ORIGINALS WERE COMING TOWARD THE END OF THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF IMPROVEMENTS. THINGS ARE CHANGING AND DYNAMICS WITH ATHLETICS AS A RECREATION PASSIVE ACTIVE ITEMS HAVE BEEN CHANGING. PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD HAS BEEN TAKING A LIGHT LOOK AT DATA TO DATE BUT NORMAL PROTOCOL WOULD BE IF THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS SO INCLINED, IS TO ASK PARKS AND ADVISORY BOARD TO LOOK AT THE PRIORITIES IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION CULTURE MASTER PLAN AND THE LIBRARY BOARD CAN ALSO TELL YOU BECAUSE THEY PLAY A ROLE IN THAT AS WELL. JUST WHERE THEY SIT WITH THEIR GENERAL LIBRARY PRIORITIES AND WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN AND WHEN. AND WE WILL GATHER THAT INFORMATION AND GET IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL.
WE COULD SET A DATE, BUT THE DATE NEEDS TO BE WELL BEFORE WE ARE SETTING OUR BUDGET PRIORITIES SO THE FEBRUARY MARCH TIME FRAME WOULD BE WHEN WE WOULD NEED THAT INFORMATION BACK. STAFF TO FORMULATE THE BUDGET IF WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE PRIORITIES, WE DON'T HAVE PRICE QUOTES ON THINGS THAT ARE FURTHER YEARS FURTHER OUT IN THE PLAN. SO IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO GET SOME CONSULTS AND ANSWERS SO THE BUDGET GETS SET TO AN ACCURATE NUMBER. OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR DOESN'T PULL HAIR OUT WITH ALL OF THESE CHANGING NUMBERS ALL THE TIME.
WE ARE ADJUSTING AS YOU SEE AND YOU HAVE ON THIS AGENDA NUMBERS ARE CHANGING RAPIDLY. IF THE ECONOMY EVER BALANCES ITSELF OUT IT WOULD BE EASIER ON THIS.
THERE IS ONLY WILL BE X AMOUNT OF PROJECTS WE CAN DO.
CAPITAL PROJECTS, AND WE WILL SET THOSE PARITIES AS PART OF THE BUDGETING PROCESS. 'S OF GATHERING INFORMATION AS APPROPRIATE AS THE MAJORITY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT.
>> SPEAKER: MEGAN, WOULD IT BE IN HERE AT THE END OF THE FIRST FULL WEEK OF DECEMBER, YOU THINK THAT IS AN EXPECTATION WE COULD RECEIVE THAT REPORT FROM THE PARKS AND RECORD ADVISORY GROUP IN FEBRUARY? MARCH? WHAT WOULD BE A FAIR EXPECTATION?
>> SPEAKER: MARCH FOR SURE AND TYLER, THAT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT WITH LIBRARIES WELL? WE ARE LOOKING AT THINGS AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN PLANNING AND MOVING FORWARD WITH IN OUR MASTER PLAN IN THE BOYKIN CAMPUS AND SETTING FORWARD.
YOU WILL SEE A NUMBER OF DESIGN CONTRACTS LIKELY ON THE 21ST AGENDA FOR A WHOLE HOST OF THINGS WE ARE DOING AT BOYKIN.
ALL OF THAT PLAYS A ROLE BECAUSE AGAIN WE CAN COULD A BALLOON INTO MILLION DOLLARS PROJECT AND OTHER LARGE PARKS FACILITY WITH MULTIPURPOSE FIELDS, BASEBALL DIAMONDS, SOFTBALL, PARKING,
[00:10:01]
RESTROOMS, ETC. IT COULD ALSO BE A $40 MILLION PROJECT AND THOSE ARE NOT GOING TO BE SUSTAINABLE IN THE TWO-YEAR PERIOD TO DO $80 MILLION WORTH OF PARK PROJECTS. SO GETTING THE PRIORITIES FOR WHAT NEEDS WE NEED TO MEET. I KNOW THE PARK AND REC ADVISORY BOARD IS BEEN LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE GYMNASIUM SPACE THAT'S A VERY HIGH PRIORITY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF USE WE HAVE, NOT JUST IN RECREATIONAL LEAGUES BUT DAILY PLAY.SO THEY WILL BE ABLE TO -- BECKY HAS VERY GOOD DATA THROUGH PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT ON USE SIGN UP FOR LEAGUES AND SO ON AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU GOOD DIRECTION BASED ON WHAT THEY SEE AND WHAT THEY RECOMMEND PRIORITIES BE CONSIDERED.
>> SPEAKER: DOES ANYONE ON THE COUNCIL HAVE A THOUGHT ON THIS? JUST OFFERED THIS IDEA AND I WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR APPROVAL BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A THOUGHT ON
THIS? >> SPEAKER: I WOULD WELCOME AN UPDATE AND SORT OF A REFRESHER. PRETTY COMPETENT TO STUDY FIVE YEARS AGO NOW. A LOT OF WATER HAS PASSED UNDER THE BRIDGE SINCE THEN. TO GET AN UPDATE AND AN ASSESSMENT OF WHERE WE ARE NOW AND WHERE WE ARE ON SOME OF THESE WOULD BE VERY MUCH WELCOME I HEAR A LOT ABOUT WHERE WE ARE ON SOME OF THESE PLANS AFTER OUR BIG ROLLOUT FIVE YEARS AGO.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE, WHY ISN'T THIS OTHER FUN -- AN UPDATE
WOULD BE WELCOME. >> SPEAKER: THEY ALSO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT NOW THAT WE HAVE SENT US DATA INCLUDE THAT IN THERE? SINCE WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT FIVE YEARS AGO? COULD THAT INCLUDE THAT IN THERE?
>> SPEAKER: ABSOLUTELY. COUNCILPERSON GRISWOLD HAS BEEN WORKING WITH CONSTITUENT WHO HAS BIG CONCERNS ABOUT PARKS, AS YOU AS WELL AND IN YOUR WARD IN THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN WHICH BECKY HAS SOME IDEAS ABOUT. THOSE ARE THINGS THEY NEED TO TALK ABOUT AND THAT IS THE WHOLE GAMUT OF PRIORITIES.
WE HAVE A HUGE MASTER PLAN BUT IT HAS ALSO -- LENDING TO WHERE WE ARE GOING TO HEAD WITH THAT. WE ARE NOT WAY OFF ON THAT.
LAKE WILMORE GOT DELAYED, SOCCER COMPLEX BIDS WILL BE PUSHED INTO JANUARY, BUT WE ARE OUT TO BID AND JUST EXTENDED THE BIDDING PERIOD A LITTLE BIT BUT WE WILL BE ABOUT MOVING WE ARE BACK INTO THE CAPITOL THIS FISCAL YEAR AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THAT AFTER THE HOLIDAYS. BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE NEEDS AND DATA THAT WE HAVE. AND SOME OF THE SWIMMING POOL OBLIGATIONS. 'S THERE'S MUCH TO DISCUSS AND I THINK WE CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD TO MOVE ONE MORE UP AND WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE PRESENTATION ON THAT TO GET YOUR LEGS. THE MEETING WITH THE FINANCE DIRECTOR WE CAN'T AFFORD TO MOVE THAT UP.
SO WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT WILL BE CREDITED TO COVID AND THEN IT LEFT THE BUDGET COMPLETELY IN THIS BIENNIUM.
THOSE ARE SOME THINGS. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY PARKS AND RECREATION HAS ALREADY GOT A LITTLE BIT OF DATA AND WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE THAT THEY STATED TO YOU AND LET YOU KNOW THE PARKS AND RECTIFY ADVISORY BOARD WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. YOU ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS AND THEY WILL BE READY TO GO.
THEY WILL BE -- WE BEEN WAITING AT SOME THINGS ON THE POOL AND SOME PRICING TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE WE THINK
THAT WILL END UP. >> SPEAKER: ANYONE ELSE? 'S COUNCIL OKAY WITH MAKING THIS REQUEST OF THE PARKS AND
ADVISORY BOARD? >> SPEAKER: AND THE LIBRARY
THANK YOU. AND I HAVE ONE FINAL QUESTION FOR THE CITY MANAGER. CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE ON OPELIKA RD., THE CONSTRUCTION OUT THERE?
>> SPEAKER: I WOULD LOVE TO. I WILL HAVE CITY ENGINEER FRASER FRAZIER GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON OPELIKA RD.
>> SPEAKER: I'VE NEVER GIVEN A SCINTILLATING REPORT.
OPELIKA RD. HAS GONE ON A LITTLE BIT LONG.
THE CONTRACTOR IS WORKING. HE HAS MOVED MOST OF HIS FORCES TO COX AND WIRE AND THEY'RE WORKING HARD ON THE ROUNDABOUT AND THEY HOPE TO HAVE IT FUNCTIONAL BY CHRISTMAS.
MOST OF THE FORCES ARE THERE. THEY ARE WORKING ON WATER LINE, ELECTRICIAN IS UNDERWAY. WE DO HAVE SOME WORK LEFT TO DO ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT WE ARE EXPECTING WORK TO BE COMPLETED SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE WITH THE PROJECT HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF FEBRUARY. BARRING RAIN, HOLIDAYS AND IN,
WHETHER. >> SPEAKER: THAT WAS A
SCINTILLATING. >> SPEAKER: SEE, IT WAS SCINTILLATING. ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE CITY ENGINEER FRAZIER AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT WE WILL WORK AS BEST WE CAN WITH OUR CONTRACTOR TO GET LANES OPEN. WE HAVE HAD SOME FRUSTRATION AROUND THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND WE WILL HAVE IT COMING UP AGAIN IF THEY ARE OFF THE JOB AND THERE'S A WAY TO SAFELY HAVE ALL FOUR LANES OPEN SO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC CAN TRAVERSE THE AREA WITHOUT HAVING TO MERGE CONSTANTLY WITH THE WORKERS IN THE VICINITY. WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO DO THAT BUT WE HAVE TO DO THAT IN A SAFE MANNER.
IF WE CAN DO THAT WE WILL DO THAT.
>> SPEAKER: WILL WE HAVE ANY MORE CLOSURES WITH THE TRAIN?
ARE THEY DONE? >> SPEAKER: THE EAST UNIVERSITY DRIVE CROSSING IS FRUSTRATED AS PEOPLE WERE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DID AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HELPED A GOOD BIT IS WHEN THEY LAID THE NEW ASPHALT BACK DOWN THEY PUT A LOT OF WATER ON IT TO GET IT TO CURE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
[00:15:04]
IN THEIR EXCITEMENT TO GET EAST UNIVERSITY DRIVE OPEN THE FIRST DAY THEY CLOSED IT WITH VERY LITTLE NOTICE THEY GOT A LITTLE DAMAGE TO. SO THEY HAD TO CLOSE IT TO REPAIR IT. I'M NOT AWARE.MR. WOODY THAT THERE ARE NO OTHERS? THERE ARE NO OTHERS THAT THEY NEED TO DO THAT.
THAT WAS COMING BACK AND CORRECTING THAT.
I DON'T RECALL HOW OFTEN THEY DO THESE.
>> SPEAKER: SO IS THERE ALL OF THAT LOGGING ON ONE OF THE --
>> SPEAKER: THE RAILROAD TIES THERE ARE BIG STACKS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE REPLACING THEM RIGHT NEAR OR PICK THEM UP AND MOVE THEM AROUND.
PICK THEM UP AND MOVE THEM DOWN THE LINE.
>> SPEAKER: OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER? MOVED TO ADJOURN?
