1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120 I'll go ahead and call the Monday, June 11, 2018, 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,160 public utility board meeting to order. 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,960 And we do have some guests here related 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,320 to one item that's under individual consideration. 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,839 So rather than going into closed and doing that first, 6 00:00:19,839 --> 00:00:22,079 we'll go ahead and take-- 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:28,440 as our first item will be item B under the-- 8 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,439 individual consideration part of the agenda. 9 00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:35,000 And that's to consider recommending adoption 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,479 of an ordinance of the city of Denton, Texas, the Texas 11 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:37,719 Home 12 00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:41,000 Real Municipal Corporation, authorizing the city manager 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,960 to execute a professional services agreement 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,439 with Nelson and Morgan Architects 15 00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:48,399 for the architectural design services 16 00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:52,399 for renovation of service center and 651 Mayhill 17 00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:56,079 as set forth in contract that's included in our backup. 18 00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:01,200 So I think Mario is going to do the presentation on this. 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,679 Mr. Chairman, members of the PUB, 20 00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:03,880 thank you for having me here. 21 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,840 Mario Kanazaro, assistant city manager. 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,719 I wanted to present a number of slides 23 00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:13,599 to you to talk about our service center project 24 00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:18,439 along with the renovations to 651 Mayhill. 25 00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:21,959 Back in February, we made this very similar presentation 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,840 to the city council. 27 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,079 And then we followed up with a presentation 28 00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:27,799 to the public utilities board in March. 29 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:31,680 And the issues that we covered that day or that morning 30 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,840 were the history of the service center, 31 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,200 just to kind of give you some background on that, 32 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,870 the fact that the facility was built in 1980 or opened in 33 00:01:39,870 --> 00:01:40,560 1980 34 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,879 and it's been expanded a few times. 35 00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:47,120 But we're out of space for city operations. 36 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,359 And it's very difficult, nearly impossible, 37 00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:54,680 to expand unless you add additional square footage to it. 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,599 Also talked about how we came up with some alternatives. 39 00:01:57,599 --> 00:01:59,120 Staff came through some alternatives 40 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,560 looking at some other facilities that the city owned 41 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,560 and the opportunity to move some existing operations out 42 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,919 of the service center into another nearly vacant facility 43 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,000 to allow us to expand within the service center. 44 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,199 And we also talked about the financial implications. 45 00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:17,539 So I'm going to cover some of those slides here shortly. 46 00:02:17,539 --> 00:02:23,960 And then at the end, go through the proposal, not at length 47 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:23,960 , 48 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,960 but just briefly cover the proposal that was presented. 49 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,000 Because at the conclusion of those two meetings 50 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,639 back in February and March, both boards, both groups 51 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,120 provide a recommendation to staff 52 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,159 to go and seek some design options 53 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:40,080 to bring forward as a contract. 54 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,439 And so what we're doing here is just presenting to you 55 00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:46,159 a proposal from Nelson Morgan Architects 56 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:50,120 that if the PUB gives us direction to move forward, 57 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,740 we'll make the same presentation to the city council. 58 00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:56,159 So just to kind of give you a quick overview of the service 59 00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:58,840 center campus, it's 46 acres in size. 60 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,240 It includes a number of facilities 61 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,960 located off of Mingo Road and industrial area. 62 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,800 It includes all of our field operations, 63 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,960 with the exception of DME. 64 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,080 DME actually did originate there, 65 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,000 but over time has moved out of the service center. 66 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,960 And so while there is a support function there 67 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,680 at the service center through the radio operations, 68 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,960 DME does not have a physical presence there at the moment 69 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,719 as far as staffing and equipment. 70 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:24,120 They do have some of their supplies 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,280 that's administered through materials management, 72 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,639 our purchasing function. 73 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,479 But as far as having a physical presence there on site, 74 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:32,319 they do not have that. 75 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:36,400 Also our fleet services division is housed there 76 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,960 at the service center in a separate facility 77 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,000 where they operate and manage and maintain 78 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,360 all of our fleet vehicles. 79 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,120 And we also have some areas where we have dirt, 80 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,419 fill materials that's used, various construction projects, 81 00:03:49,419 --> 00:03:51,719 maintenance projects throughout the city for city 82 00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:52,479 operations. 83 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,780 The two facilities that we're talking about this morning 84 00:03:56,780 --> 00:03:58,960 and that we've been focusing on is the service center 85 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,080 and the traffic operations building. 86 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,240 These are the slides that you saw back in March. 87 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,159 And to give you a few statistics here, 88 00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:07,719 the service center, as I mentioned earlier, 89 00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:09,219 was built in 1980. 90 00:04:09,219 --> 00:04:11,240 The traffic operations building actually was built 91 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,120 in the 1960s with a different use, 92 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,899 was actually our original animal shelter. 93 00:04:16,899 --> 00:04:19,560 Back in 1980, the population of Denton 94 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,439 was just under 50,000. 95 00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:26,079 And currently, 2016, 2017, 96 00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:30,839 certainly we've exceeded 135,000 people by now 97 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,079 with the amount of growth that we've had in our community. 98 00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:37,079 And also too, just some other quick hits as far as facts, 99 00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:40,800 back in 1980, the city was about just under 33 square miles 100 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,720 and we're just now under 100 square miles in size. 101 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,480 And so, and then lastly, the staffing when it was opened 102 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,720 back in 1980 was 110. 103 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,800 And the service center now houses, 104 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,399 at least as of 2017, 250 plus employees. 105 00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,040 And so, and I would imagine it's been more 106 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,000 because we've been able, we've added staff 107 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,500 over the last number of months 108 00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:03,040 through a variety of operations 109 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,000 and streets and engineering. 110 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,839 Again, another visual of the service center houses, 111 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,120 as I mentioned, just under just over 250 employees. 112 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,759 It is cramped for space, there is no room for growth 113 00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:22,139 unless you build out from the building itself. 114 00:05:22,139 --> 00:05:24,120 But again, as I mentioned before, 115 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,600 we came up with some options that the PUB and the council 116 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,399 felt were favorable based on utilizing existing space. 117 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:34,319 One of the key complaints that I hear 118 00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:36,360 from a facilities management perspective 119 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,399 is a lack of restrooms at the service center, 120 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:42,680 plus just a configuration of those restroom facilities. 121 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,199 As I mentioned to the PUB and the council, 122 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,639 as you walk into, and you'll see some pictures 123 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:52,920 here in a minute, as you walk into the service center lobby 124 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:52,920 , 125 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,819 the restroom facilities, both male and female, 126 00:05:55,819 --> 00:05:58,680 are just behind a wall. 127 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,160 But when you walk into those restroom facilities, 128 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,160 it's your typical toilet and laboratory fixtures, 129 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,399 but you also have shower facilities there too. 130 00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:13,519 So it's not the most inviting thing when you have 131 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:17,199 the public or consultants or contractors come in 132 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:20,319 doing business there, and we do have a lot of, 133 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:22,079 quite a bit of visitors that come in and out 134 00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:24,019 for various meetings, bid openings, 135 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,560 pre-construction meetings, et cetera. 136 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,220 And when you join those functions with a, 137 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,120 I would call it more of a private facility 138 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,139 when it comes to restroom, with public facilities, 139 00:06:37,139 --> 00:06:38,639 it just doesn't intermix well. 140 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,079 So it's not very user-friendly for the public 141 00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:42,920 nor the staff. 142 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,959 To give you some pictures here, this was shown back, 143 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:49,319 again, back in the spring. 144 00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:50,959 And again, I'm not gonna go through every picture, 145 00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:54,800 but as you can see, these are crammed spaces. 146 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,560 The staff actually has been very creative 147 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,759 in utilizing bay space for some areas 148 00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:02,639 where employees could eat lunch or take breaks 149 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:04,399 or have staff meetings. 150 00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:07,720 And some of the areas here where my cursor is, 151 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,680 if you can see this, this is the parks area. 152 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,720 And this is actually a break room. 153 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,839 It's kind of the far corner, but back here 154 00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:20,839 where my cursor is is a stove and a sink 155 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,480 with refrigerators in the corner. 156 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,839 But as you can see, these are basically permanent fixtures 157 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,079 for the most part, these tables. 158 00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:33,120 And this is where our crew leaders and supervisors 159 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,100 have their offices. 160 00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:35,639 So it's pretty crammed. 161 00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:39,639 And so if you're trying to have a meeting with staff, 162 00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:42,160 you're dealing with food and other things. 163 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,600 And so again, they're just trying to be creative 164 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,399 utilizing the maximizing the amount of space they have. 165 00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:49,839 Here below is a locker room area, 166 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,560 which has also been converted into meeting space, 167 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,350 because again, there just isn't any meeting space to be had 168 00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:55,720 . 169 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,439 And in the front here, right in the front center 170 00:07:57,439 --> 00:07:59,000 is that lobby area that I mentioned to you. 171 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,339 There's this wall next to the stairs. 172 00:08:01,339 --> 00:08:02,540 There's no one there to greet you. 173 00:08:02,540 --> 00:08:05,839 So if you're looking to go upstairs to visit 174 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:07,759 with someone from purchasing, 175 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:09,240 unless you know that it's upstairs, 176 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,360 there's no one really to greet you 177 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,480 and direct the incoming public or contractor 178 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,920 to let them know where to go and help them facilitate 179 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,279 and navigate through the facility. 180 00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:20,879 And then the bottom is that restroom facility 181 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:21,720 that I mentioned. 182 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,579 Again, the back there is the shower curtain 183 00:08:24,579 --> 00:08:28,399 along with the restroom stalls and the laboratory fixtures. 184 00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:30,720 So again, just kind of give you a perspective 185 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,179 of the conditions that our service center employees are in. 186 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,840 When we visited back in the spring, 187 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,580 this is the layout of the first and second floor 188 00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:42,759 of the service center. 189 00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:46,259 And as you can see, there's a number of different functions 190 00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:48,080 and operations here at the service center. 191 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,080 And one of the largest areas that encompasses 192 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,799 a lot of the square footage of the space 193 00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:55,759 is materials management, just under 30,000 square feet. 194 00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:59,159 And actual in purchasing on the second floor, 195 00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:02,000 purchasing administration, Karen and her team, 196 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,480 the buyers and some of the admin staff 197 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,679 operate here on the second floor. 198 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,960 And this actually, the thought is that these folks 199 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,759 would stay, but the thought is if we had the opportunity 200 00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,399 to move 30,000 square feet of space 201 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,399 into another existing facility, 202 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,279 that would allow us to have the space to move into. 203 00:09:23,139 --> 00:09:27,840 It's level, it's tall, and so there's plenty 204 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,080 of room for growth. 205 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,200 And so again, that's one of the options that we considered. 206 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,720 And so the thought would be is to move 207 00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:40,740 that 30,000 square feet, 30,000 square foot space 208 00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:42,480 over to 651 Mayhill. 209 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,399 Again, to talk about the traffic operations building, 210 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:50,519 as I mentioned, it was built in the 1960s. 211 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:53,559 It's approximately 4,000 square feet size 212 00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:57,120 square foot facility. 213 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,580 It's a former animal shelter two times over. 214 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,279 And we are in a newer animal shelter facility 215 00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:06,759 and the former animal shelter facilities 216 00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:09,320 have been repurposed now a couple of times. 217 00:10:10,220 --> 00:10:13,440 It's been utilized by traffic since the mid 80s. 218 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,039 We house approximately nine full-time equivalents, 219 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:17,240 nine employees there. 220 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,399 While it does have a garage area, 221 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:22,960 it really has no vehicle bays because basically 222 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,320 that's where they store some of their trailers. 223 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,840 So they really can't keep any of their equipment indoors 224 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,000 out of the elements. 225 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,840 So it's, for the most part, it's either under an awning 226 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,840 or out in the elements. 227 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,120 So that's critical for some of our equipment that we have 228 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,919 is to keep it indoors or at least in a bay area 229 00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:43,559 to keep it protected from the elements. 230 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,159 Again, it's crammed, there's really no room to grow. 231 00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:49,360 And it's not designed for new technology 232 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,559 just based on where the facility is 233 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,340 and the type of equipment that's in there now. 234 00:10:57,159 --> 00:10:58,840 Some visuals to give you an idea 235 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,200 of what's inside Traffic Ops. 236 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,759 This is here where my cursor is, is that bay area. 237 00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:05,480 You can see that garage door, 238 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,360 but that's where they keep one of their trailers 239 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,080 and they keep their signs and markings 240 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,120 and other inventory in there. 241 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,840 So again, not enough room to pull in a pickup truck 242 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,639 or some of their other equipment that they need 243 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:22,159 to operate to do their jobs. 244 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:24,000 And so again, very cramped for space 245 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,279 and the technology just isn't functioning there. 246 00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:31,500 It's not really suitable for new technology in that 247 00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:32,080 building. 248 00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:37,519 So in that slide earlier that I showed 249 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:40,360 with the materials management at 30,000 square feet, 250 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,600 the thought was if we could move materials management 251 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,960 out of the service center into a facility 252 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,519 that's currently owned by the city, 253 00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,480 Solid Waste, it was purchased a number of years ago. 254 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,519 It was a former Department of Defense warehouse. 255 00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:56,080 I believe that my understanding 256 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,240 of that history of that facility 257 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,559 is when soldiers would be deployed overseas, 258 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,360 they would keep their belongings there, 259 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,279 vehicles, other personal belongings that could be created. 260 00:12:06,279 --> 00:12:07,200 They were housed here. 261 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,639 So again, it's basically a warehouse space. 262 00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:13,019 And so the thought is, it's 81,000 square feet of space. 263 00:12:13,019 --> 00:12:14,960 The thought is if we could move materials management 264 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,919 into this space, retrofit it as necessary 265 00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:21,080 with the racks and offices and other restroom facilities 266 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,679 that are required to maintain a functioning operation, 267 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480 why not utilize an underutilized space? 268 00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:32,919 And again, allow us to use valuable space 269 00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:36,879 to move some of our operations into the service center. 270 00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:39,679 And secondarily, if we could also, 271 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,000 knowing that traffic operations needed space 272 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,360 and they were actually part of the 2014 bond package 273 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,840 to build them a new operation center, 274 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,460 why not utilize 10,000 square feet of the space here 275 00:12:53,460 --> 00:12:57,559 at 651 Mayhill and move that operation over there as well? 276 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,320 So that way you have materials management in this 651 277 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,559 along with traffic operations. 278 00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:10,759 So that was, again, just kind of give you a perspective 279 00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:14,700 of just a visual of this square footage. 280 00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:18,200 Again, not drawn to scale, but 61,000 square feet 281 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,120 of materials management would be at the 651 facility 282 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,720 and then traffic would operate 10,000 square feet. 283 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,480 Still leave about 10,000 for future expansion, 284 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,320 whether for materials management or for traffic 285 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,539 or for some other operation 286 00:13:30,539 --> 00:13:33,179 that might be needed here at the city. 287 00:13:33,179 --> 00:13:35,480 But that was the thought and that was basically 288 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,159 the presentation that was made to PUB and the council 289 00:13:38,159 --> 00:13:41,720 and along with the project cost. 290 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,360 And so just to kind of give you an opportunity 291 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,559 to read through all the numbers. 292 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,919 All in, if we were to do all of these projects, 293 00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:55,639 it's just over, just under $14,500,000. 294 00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:59,559 That includes construction, design, furniture and fixtures, 295 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,200 any development fees, any type of flat work 296 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,080 that would be required at the service center 297 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,700 or at 651 Mayhill 'cause there would be the need 298 00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:11,399 to build some parking, also a lay down yard, 299 00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:14,000 which would allow some equipment to be placed 300 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,879 on concrete outdoors. 301 00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:22,480 So all in, it's 14,500,000. 302 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:28,320 3,300,000 would be for the traffic operations function. 303 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,879 I'm sorry, 3,300,000 would be for materials management. 304 00:14:34,879 --> 00:14:38,279 2 million, just under 200,000 for traffic 305 00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:41,080 and then just under $9 million for the service center. 306 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:45,360 So these were the slides and again, 307 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,240 these have been condensed some to not go 308 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,080 through every single slide that was presented 309 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,279 to PUB and council but was presented back a few months ago. 310 00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:58,080 And then overall, based on this information, 311 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,820 both the PUB and the council directed staff 312 00:15:00,820 --> 00:15:04,679 to go and seek a request for qualifications 313 00:15:04,679 --> 00:15:09,679 to select a design firm to do the architecture 314 00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:14,320 and design of both 651 and at the service center. 315 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,919 So since then, this is what we've done. 316 00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:19,960 Working with purchasing, they did issue 317 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,200 a request for qualifications for architectural services. 318 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,600 We did receive seven proposals. 319 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:28,320 Staff did receive seven proposals 320 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,320 from a variety of firms, design firms, architectural firms. 321 00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:37,000 A selection committee was convened. 322 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,399 They reviewed the qualifications of all seven firms 323 00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:44,159 and based on the recommendations of that committee, 324 00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:47,240 they selected Nelson Morgan Architects of Denton 325 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,700 to be the architecture record for these projects. 326 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,559 Based on negotiations with Nelson Morgan 327 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,960 to do all three facilities, design all three facilities, 328 00:16:01,659 --> 00:16:06,659 it came out to $918,402.53. 329 00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,960 As you can see, this is the top graph here. 330 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,960 This top chart is their design proposal 331 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,279 for the three different facilities. 332 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:24,080 And then below these two, on the bottom, 333 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,200 I've broken out the cost so you can see them 334 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,799 by respective facility, by respective building. 335 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,360 And I know there's been discussions, 336 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,480 certainly with council, about design fees 337 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,299 and the cost of design fees. 338 00:16:36,299 --> 00:16:38,919 So I wanted to make sure that the PUB 339 00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:40,840 and then the council will see this as well. 340 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,519 You can see the breakdown of the cost 341 00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:48,519 of what the consultant is proposing for this project. 342 00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:51,679 The majority of the fees are for Nelson Morgan, 343 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:54,960 but there are also some fees that need to go to, 344 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,639 whether it's mechanical engineers, structural engineers, 345 00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:00,720 civil, things of that nature. 346 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,860 And so I wanted to break those down as well 347 00:17:02,860 --> 00:17:06,339 so you can see what's being proposed for this project. 348 00:17:08,380 --> 00:17:11,960 Based on that, this is basically my presentation. 349 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,359 I just wanted to present this to you all as promised 350 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,200 that we believe that this is the best way 351 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,240 to move forward and move ahead 352 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,680 and get started on these projects. 353 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,680 Again, the staff and the space is, we need to expand, 354 00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:33,480 we need to add some additional space for operations. 355 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,960 We think this is the most expeditious manner 356 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,240 in which we can get this done 357 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,119 and not require major expenditures 358 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,420 because of additional facilities that might need to be 359 00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:45,720 built. 360 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,160 It allows us to utilize existing space. 361 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,119 It allows us to move pretty quickly 362 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,039 and not have to know the interior facilities 363 00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:54,079 that are already there. 364 00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:58,599 And allows us to move ahead and get going on this. 365 00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:02,640 And then hopefully get into these facilities 366 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,059 within the next year. 367 00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:07,759 Any questions? 368 00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:08,599 - Questions. 369 00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:13,000 - I was looking at the breakdown of the funding services. 370 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000 So is the traffic operations is coming from the bond fund 371 00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:21,440 because that bond, when that was voted on, 372 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,279 that was about roads and traffic? 373 00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:26,480 - Well, there was an actual, 374 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,039 I believe there was an actual proposition 375 00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:31,480 for a traffic operations building 376 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,240 in the 2014 bond program. 377 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,039 It was part of an overall transportation. 378 00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:39,880 - Okay, okay, thanks. 379 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,559 I hadn't remembered that specifically there. 380 00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:43,880 And then if you could just explain kind of why 381 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,880 the decision to have the service center come from revenue 382 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,599 and then from materials to come from CO. 383 00:18:55,019 --> 00:18:58,160 - Well, my understanding on materials management 384 00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,980 with the certificates of obligation, 385 00:19:02,980 --> 00:19:06,759 there are some COs that are available in solid waste 386 00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:09,319 because it is gonna be a solid waste facility. 387 00:19:09,319 --> 00:19:11,440 Then materials management through, 388 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,480 it would be basically paying solid waste back 389 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,880 through lease payments on an annual basis or monthly basis, 390 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,079 however it is calculated. 391 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,599 So the thought would be to be able to provide that funding 392 00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:27,259 and then pay back the solid waste fund for the asset. 393 00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:30,799 As far as revenue funded capital, 394 00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:32,720 those are some available funds that are available 395 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,799 in a variety of different departments, 396 00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:39,359 whether it's water, wastewater, streets, and drainage. 397 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,359 And so the revenues are available in those respective funds 398 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,240 to be able to at least fund the design 399 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,680 of the service center. 400 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,160 And then once we bring forward the construction documents 401 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,920 and do some cost estimation with our consultant, 402 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,000 we'll bring forward that to the board 403 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,039 along with the council to get further direction 404 00:19:57,039 --> 00:19:59,079 on how to proceed before we go to bed 405 00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:02,640 and make sure that we're good on our numbers 406 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,359 and they're comfortable with the numbers. 407 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,740 - Yeah, that was my, the point I wanted to raise was, 408 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,519 I know the traffic operations building 409 00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:18,519 was part of the 2014 GEO bond proposal. 410 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,160 But I guess once we see what the cost really is, 411 00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:28,279 we'll come back and look at, okay, 412 00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:32,359 how's this gonna be funded going forward. 413 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,119 Also, the other thing I wanted to point out 414 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,480 is it looks like when we did the project, the estimate, 415 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,839 I'm not sure when this was done, 416 00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:42,920 but it looked like the design fees 417 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,440 in the estimate was about a million, 149. 418 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:54,559 And so this actual contract is less than that. 419 00:20:54,559 --> 00:20:56,000 So it's under budget. 420 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:56,839 - Yes, sir. - I wanna point that out 421 00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:57,880 as well. - Under the budget estimate. 422 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,099 Yes, sir. - Yeah, okay. 423 00:21:02,079 --> 00:21:04,440 Any other questions, comments? 424 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,339 - I have one, remind me why this is the pub issue. 425 00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:12,480 - Why it's being brought before the Public Utilities Board? 426 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,559 Because it houses water, wastewater, drainage, 427 00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:18,440 and we wanted to make sure that we brought it forward 428 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,160 just to present it to you and get your recommendation 429 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,700 if you believe it's important 430 00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:25,940 because of those funds that are being used. 431 00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:27,079 And you will receive those, 432 00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:29,880 and you provide guidance and direction on those budgets. 433 00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:33,599 And because also it's a solid waste facility as well. 434 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,039 - I have a question on the evaluation. 435 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:42,640 They're very close, a 99 and a 95. 436 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,640 What was the past experience that gave one person a 40? 437 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,599 - Well, the past experience, and I was not on the panel. 438 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:53,720 So I was not on the evaluation panel. 439 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,839 But Nelson Morgan has assisted the city 440 00:21:56,839 --> 00:21:58,079 over the last number of years 441 00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:02,000 with our facilities master plan. 442 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,359 So they're very familiar with the city facilities. 443 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,240 They understood the need of getting these facilities 444 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:11,240 designed 445 00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:13,599 and constructed as soon as possible. 446 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,920 They had already done some of the legwork 447 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,160 when it came to understanding the number of staff 448 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,079 that would be added over the next number of years. 449 00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:24,480 So they had done some legwork. 450 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,480 So not to have to start from scratch helped. 451 00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:33,640 And so that's what gave this firm the leg up. 452 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,880 - All right, thank you. 453 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,160 - Okay, any other questions? 454 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,279 Do we have a

morning, I'm Chad Allen, Deputy City Engineer 564 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,200 and I have a brief presentation about the Morse Street 565 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,000 expansion project. 566 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,599 The limits are between Loop 288 and Mayhill Road. 567 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,940 So I'm here to ask that you consider approving 568 00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:17,279 a

it's only a two lane road. 582 00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:52,039 So we're gonna widen it to a four lane divided road 583 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:54,279 between Kimberly and Mayhill. 584 00:28:54,279 -->

00:29:17,839 to four lanes with a median. 592 00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:19,480 We're selecting our engineering consultant 593 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,440 based on an RF request for qualifications 594 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,400 for professional engineering services 595 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,200 that was solicited using the city's formal solicitation 596 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,359 process. 597 00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:31,119 In March of this year, the city council approved 598 00:29:31,119 --> 00:29:33,519 a pre-qualified list of engineering firms 599 00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:35,339 to do this type of design. 600 00:29:35,339 --> 00:29:38,279 So Burgess and Nopple Inc. is one of the qualified firms 601 00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:40,319 that submitted for the design of roadways, 602 00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:42,640 intersections and bridges, and we're selecting them 603 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,440 to do the Morse Street project. 604 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,319 The engineering scope of services 605 00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:49,119 includes street widening improvements, 606 00:29:49,119 --> 00:29:51,079 storm drain improvements, and then design 607 00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:52,940 of the water line relocation. 608 00:29:52,940 --> 00:29:55,220 That uses utility funds and that's why we're talking 609 00:29:55,220 --> 00:30:00,220 to PUB today, $24,350 is used from utility funds 610 00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:02,759 to design the water line relocation improvements. 611 00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:05,059 The scope also includes roadway lighting, 612 00:30:05,059 --> 00:30:07,000 bid and construction phase support, 613 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,480 preparation of right of way acquisition documents, 614 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,619 SUE and geotechnical engineering, 615 00:30:11,619 --> 00:30:13,319 and public involvement support. 616 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,160 Here's a map that shows the water line relocation. 617 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,619 This is Morse Street between Kimberly and the Loop, 618 00:30:20,619 --> 00:30:22,759 it's four lanes divided, and then in this section 619 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:25,519 we're gonna widen it between Kimberly and Mayhill. 620 00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:28,400 This is the water line that we may have to relocate 621 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,980 and move depending on whether it conflicts 622 00:30:30,980 --> 00:30:34,279 with the roadway improvements or if it is in bad condition. 623 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,440 So our recommendation is that you recommend approval 624 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,099 of the professional services agreement 625 00:30:42,099 --> 00:30:44,460 between the city of Denton and Burgess and Nopple Inc. 626 00:30:44,460 --> 00:30:49,460 for $255,000 which includes the $24,350 in utility funding. 627 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,720 I'll try to answer any questions if you have them. 628 00:30:57,359 --> 00:30:58,660 - Any questions on this? 629 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,200 Just, I was, general comment on the entire project 630 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,779 that makes perfect sense to extend that little piece 631 00:31:10,779 --> 00:31:14,519 of Morse Street, especially as Mayhill gets expanded, 632 00:31:14,519 --> 00:31:19,519 provides a good east to west access to Mayhill 633 00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:21,059 from the Loop and vice versa. 634 00:31:21,059 --> 00:31:26,059 So it's not very many linear feet, 635 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,990 but it'll be a good improvement for us for east to west 636 00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:30,720 access. 637 00:31:31,839 --> 00:31:34,880 - And I think, I mean the part that pertaining most to PUB, 638 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,180 the water lines is just so necessary. 639 00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:39,019 - Yep. 640 00:31:40,759 --> 00:31:41,599 - Yep. - Absolutely. 641 00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:42,440 - Okay. 642 00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:46,960 Other comments or do we have a motion on item C? 643 00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:50,279 - Move for approval. 644 00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:53,119 - Motion to approve, is there a second? 645 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,519 Second? 646 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,279 Discussion? 647 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,000 All in favor say aye. 648 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,960 - Aye. - Any opposed? 649 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:02,799 Same sign? 650 00:32:04,599 --> 00:32:07,519 Item D is ACM update, thank you. 651 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:10,519 - Mr. Chairman, members of the board, I'll be brief. 652 00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:13,480 In your packet, you'll have your feature agenda item list 653 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,079 along with the new business matrix. 654 00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:17,279 I believe a majority of the items 655 00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:20,680 of the new business matrix have been responded to back, 656 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,880 to the PUB and believe we'd still have one outstanding item 657 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,480 regarding solid waste that will be covered 658 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,200 in the budget process and budget conversations. 659 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,839 Also in your packet is a white paper 660 00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:33,839 that was co-presented by PS Aurora 661 00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:36,079 and a consultant with Black and Veatch 662 00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:39,440 at the 2018 conference of the Water Environment Association 663 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,359 of Texas and it was regarding 664 00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:43,880 our wastewater asset management plan. 665 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,119 So if you have any questions regarding that, 666 00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:48,380 Mr. Aurora is here to answer any specifics to that, 667 00:32:48,380 --> 00:32:51,319 but is included in your packet for your review. 668 00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:52,160 Nothing further. 669 00:32:56,039 --> 00:32:58,759 - Okay, any questions? 670 00:33:01,460 --> 00:33:05,680 Just as a comment, command PS. 671 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,519 - As always. 672 00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:10,519 - On your presentation, it's good to see 673 00:33:10,519 --> 00:33:14,640 the city of Denton wastewater program is being used 674 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,779 as a good example of how to do things right. 675 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,039 It's always encouraged me, so thank you. 676 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,759 Okay. 677 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,440 Concluding items, under section 551.042, 678 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,160 the Texas Open Meetings Act, responding inquiries 679 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,480 from the Public Utilities Board or the public 680 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,039 with specific factual information or recitation of policy 681 00:33:42,039 --> 00:33:44,839 or accept a proposal to place a matter on the agenda 682 00:33:44,839 --> 00:33:46,039 for an upcoming meeting. 683 00:33:48,079 --> 00:33:48,920 Yes. 684 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:49,759 (laughing) 685 00:33:49,759 --> 00:33:52,319 Two, we got both sides of the room here. 686 00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:56,359 - I was reading recently about the markets 687 00:33:56,359 --> 00:33:59,200 for recycling materials and that a lot of cities 688 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,319 are looking at not selling them because it's not 689 00:34:03,319 --> 00:34:07,160 advantageous and I'd like an update on that for us. 690 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,000 And then also on commercial, I know that we don't do 691 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,039 a lot of commercial recycling and do we have any plans 692 00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:16,599 to kind of increase that? 693 00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:20,440 I hate to see plastic and glass going into a landfill. 694 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,280 - Yeah, I agree. 695 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,119 - And aluminum, so. 696 00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:23,679 - And costing us more money than we would have. 697 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:25,800 - Yes, yes, so. 698 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,679 And I think that's where the bulk of those materials 699 00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:31,440 would be coming from is commercial businesses. 700 00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,639 - And we might include in that also, you know, 701 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,199 there's some private recycling firms that contract 702 00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:43,079 with some of the larger users like, 703 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,800 I don't want to give anybody as an example, 704 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:46,780 but some of the big, 705 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:51,679 larger retail people. - At the end of the Walmart, 706 00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:52,760 they do their own. 707 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,639 - Yeah, yeah, they bail it and then it's a third party 708 00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:57,480 that collects it. 709 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,400 - Right. 710 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,119 - So that, put that in the mix, I guess. 711 00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:04,039 - And then Deb had. 712 00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:06,000 - Yes, you had one, Deb? 713 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,800 - Yeah, so a future agenda item. 714 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,400 And this is about the, 715 00:35:11,679 --> 00:35:16,199 I'd like to see a staff presentation 716 00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,000 at some point, you know, relatively soon 717 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,920 about the different kinds of air testing 718 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,199 that have been done, you know, the one kind that was done 719 00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:31,400 and then the one that's going to be done on the deck 720 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,960 because there is confusion, 721 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,440 including in myself as to what kind of testing 722 00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:42,519 had been done and what kind will be done. 723 00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:46,519 So I did some, you know, self-educating 724 00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:49,760 and it seems to me that, 725 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,559 or from what I learned, there are these two kinds 726 00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:56,559 of testing that we have done and are doing. 727 00:35:56,559 --> 00:35:58,480 There's the, and I wrote down the acronyms here, 728 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,400 the new source performance standard, NSPS, 729 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,760 and then the national ambient air quality standards, 730 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,920 NAQS, and as soon as I read about that, 731 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,400 everything that had been confusing to me before made sense. 732 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:16,400 So I would, I wonder if that would help the public 733 00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:20,840 and us and even council to better understand 734 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,280 what's the difference between this. 735 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,719 I still have to look back to what I wrote, 736 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,800 the NSPS and the NAQS. 737 00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:32,920 I think that that would help to clear up a lot of confusion 738 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,320 and would be really helpful. 739 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,079 - We are planning on a presentation 740 00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:39,519 in the next two or three meetings 741 00:36:39,519 --> 00:36:42,280 and trying to arrange to have our black and beach team back 742 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:42,519 . 743 00:36:42,519 --> 00:36:47,280 So with their experts in order to explain the results, 744 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,280 they were our representative to ensure 745 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,079 that all the air quality monitoring was done appropriately 746 00:36:53,079 --> 00:36:55,880 and within the contract parameter limits. 747 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,460 So we'll get them back here and answer all of your 748 00:36:58,460 --> 00:36:59,320 questions. 749 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,480 - Yep. - Good, very good. 750 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,960 Anything else, anybody, any member would like to see 751 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,159 on future agendas? 752 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,880 If not, is there a motion to adjourn then? 753 00:37:13,639 --> 00:37:16,519 - So moved. - Motion and a second? 754 00:37:16,519 --> 00:37:18,360 - We didn't know what to do, Brendan wasn't here. 755 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,760 - All in favor say aye, yeah. 756 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,119 That's usually Brendan's job. 757 00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:22,119 (laughing) 758 00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:23,519 We are adjourned, thank you.
