[00:10:06]

WE'RE LOOKING FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN GERONTOLOGY, SOCIAL WORK, NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT, RECREATION OR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'VE GOT A WIDE SPAN OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MAJORS THAT THESE STUDENTS THAT ATTEND A GEORGIA COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY COULD HELP ME. SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME USING THIS GRANT. I KNOW WE'VE USED THIS GRANT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD THIS FOCUS OF PREPARING FOR GEN X. THIS IS A GRANT THAT THE COUNTY HAS RECEIVED MULTIPLE YEARS FOR FOR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS. PROBATES USED THEM, SOLICITOR'S OFFICE USED THEM, DEVELOPMENT, DEVELOPMENT, COURT SERVICES.

IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM THROUGH HCG THAT THAT REALLY AGAIN, IT'S OBVIOUSLY GREAT BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL HAVE COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT ARE RETURNING HOME FOR THE SUMMER AND LOOKING FOR INTERNSHIPS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO UTILIZE IT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. IF NOT WE'LL TAKE THIS UP TONIGHT. THANK YOU SIR I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS. UNFORTUNATELY, I REALIZED THAT I'M IN GENERATION X AND HE'S PREPARING FOR MY RETIREMENT, SO. SO ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MARK TO

[6. Discuss Ratification of Joint Funding Agreement with BOE and LaGrange College (Mark DeGennaro)]

VALERIE ACTUALLY REVIEWED THE RECORDS AFTER WE GOT THE MINUTES AFTER WE GOT THE SIGNED COPY OF THAT AGREEMENT BACK FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD AND LAGRANGE COLLEGE, AND DID NOT SEE IN THE MINUTES WHERE THE BOARD HAD EXPRESSLY APPROVED THAT, ALTHOUGH IT WAS DISCUSSED IN IN CONTEXT OF THE APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT, BUT THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT DIDN'T COME BACK UNTIL LATER. SO NOW THAT WE HAVE THE SIGNED AGREEMENT BACK FROM THE COLLEGE AND SCHOOL BOARD TO KEEP THE RECORD CLEAR, IT'S PUT BACK BEFORE THE BOARD SO THAT YOU CAN RATIFY THAT AGREEMENT. AND SIGN IT AND GET IT FILED AWAY AND FILE. RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS? RIGHT. IF NOT,

[7. Discuss Joint Funding Agreement for Aerial Imagery Services (Dana Eaton / Dan Smith)]

[00:15:04]

ANY PROJECT THAT WE HAVE THAT'S DRAINAGE, WE USE THE TOPO. ANY PROJECT WE HAVE THAT'S GRADING, WE USE THE TOPO EVEN TO ASSESS PROPERTIES FOR VIABILITY OF FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE USE IT. AND IT'S NOT JUST THE COUNTY STAFF BY ANY MEANS. THERE ARE PROFESSIONALS ALL OVER THE AREA THAT COUNT ON THAT TOPOGRAPHY AS WELL. IT'S BEEN AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE THROUGH THE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OFFICE OVER THE YEARS. AND WE'VE WE'VE RECOVERED A LOT OF THE EXPENSES FOR THAT FROM THOSE REVENUES FROM SELLING THAT DATA. AND I WOULD SUSPECT THAT SINCE OH NINE, THE TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED BETTER. IT IS IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE A A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL OF DETAIL. THIS WAS AT THAT TIME MUCH HIGHER LEVEL OF DETAIL. THAT THAT PRODUCT WAS, WAS NOT EVEN SPECIFIED AS A LIDAR PRODUCT.

IT WAS MORE OF A A STEREOSCOPE TYPE OF TOPOGRAPHY. THIS TOPOGRAPHY WOULD BE NOT JUST LIDAR, BUT IT WOULD BE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF LIDAR, WHICH IS A IS A LASER RANGE DETECTION FROM THE CAMERA THAT TAKES THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY. IT WILL ALSO SHOOT A LASER IN AN ARRAY AS IT FLIES AND COLLECT. VERY ACCURATE ELEVATION INFORMATION AS IT FLIES. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DANNY SAID THERE WAS WHAT? SINCE 23, THERE'S BEEN 1200 HOMES. AND HOW MANY COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS? YOU KNOW, THERE'S PROBABLY BEEN WITH APARTMENTS. COME IN THERE.

WE'VE GOT 30 TO 40 NEW BUILDINGS, A LOT OF GRADING, A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES.

AND THIS WILL NOT ONLY HELP US, BUT THE CITIES. I KNOW OUR 911 DEPARTMENT HAS A AERIAL THAT THEY USE THAT'S TEN YEARS OLD THE LAST TIME WE TALKED. SO THIS WILL UPDATE THEIRS. CITY OF WEST POINT PART OF THIS CONTRACT IS ACTUALLY FLYING THE CITY LIMITS OF HARRIS COUNTY.

THEY PAID FOR THE ADDITIONAL FLIGHTS. SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO CAP. THEY'LL HAVE ONE MAP FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER FOR THEIR ENTIRE CITY LIMITS. HOGANSVILLE WITH THE GROWTH YOU'VE SEEN UP THERE, THEY VERY ACTIVE. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A COPY OF THIS. WHERE WILL THE FUNDING COME FROM? I KNOW OBVIOUSLY FROM JAMES OUR THE TOPOGRAPHY WILL COME FROM SPLOST, BUT FROM THE OTHER OUR PORTION WILL COME FROM TROUP COUNTY, WILL COME FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISALS, CONTRACT SERVICES THAT Y'ALL APPROVED IN THE BUDGET. AND THEN THE CITIES WILL PAY PER PARCEL BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PARCELS WITHIN THEIR CITY LIMITS. IT'S BROKEN DOWN ON THE CONTRACT THAT YOU HAVE. JUST SHOW YOU WHAT PERCENTAGE SONYA ON ON OUR SIDE WILL SEND OUT LETTERS SOMETIME THIS FALL TO COLLECT THAT FIRST ONE. FIRST PAYMENT WILL BE DUE

[11. Discuss ACCG 2025 Safety Grant Award]

GLAD TO ANNOUNCE TO YOU THIS MORNING THAT TROUP COUNTY HAS AGAIN RECEIVED OR MET THE CRITERIA FOR THE SAFETY GRANT AWARDED BY CQG. THE AMOUNT IS $2,500. IF YOU REMEMBER, LAST YEAR WE USED THESE FUNDS TO PURCHASE CPR TRAINING MATERIALS FOR THE POOL THAT WAS PUT IN AT THE GREG CENTER THIS YEAR. WE WANTED TO SWITCH UP A LITTLE BIT AND WORK ON ERGONOMICS.

THAT IS ACTUALLY OUR THIRD HIGHEST COST FOR WORKER'S COMPENSATION CLAIMS IN THE COUNTY. DURING THE LAST ANALYSIS, WE SPENT IN EXCESS OF $82,000 IN CLAIMS FOR ERGONOMICS. WE SUBMITTED A I'M SORRY, WE SUBMITTED A SAFETY ACTION PLAN TO CQG ON HOW WE PLAN TO FOCUS ON THESE ERGONOMIC ISSUES, THE FIRST WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND THEIR COMMAND STAFF, AND THEN WITH THE PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT AND THEIR COMMAND STAFF WORKING WITH DIFFERENT WAYS TO REDUCE CLAIMS IN ERGONOMIC RELATED INJURIES. AS A PART OF THAT, THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS LIKE THE TAG OFFICE, OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE PRIMARILY ALLOCATED TO COMPUTER DESK ALL DAY LONG, WHICH CAN CAUSE CLAIMS DUE TO THE USE OF BEING THE WAY THAT YOU SIT, THE WAY THAT YOU ARE IMMOBILIZED. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS TO USE TO PURCHASE 20 DESK CONVERTERS SO THEY CAN BE IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS TO STAND UP, SIT DOWN TO BETTER ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.

THIS IS A BASICALLY REIMBURSEMENT GRANT. SO THERE IS NO MATCH REQUIRED BY THE COUNTY. AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE. ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS. THEN WE'LL TAKE THIS UP THIS AFTERNOON. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE'D

[12. Discuss TCSO - Permission to Apply 2025 GEMA/Homeland Security EOD/K9 Grant (Nathan Taylor)]

[00:30:08]

WHEN HE DID, HE WAS ALLOWED PERMISSION TO TAKE HIS K9 THAT HE HAD AT THE TIME WITH THE WITH THE PROMISE FROM THE STATE THAT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE US AND WOULD PURCHASE ANOTHER K9 FOR US. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS FOR, IS FOR A NEW K9, AS WELL AS A KENNEL AND SOME EQUIPMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF 14 278. I THINK WE'VE BEEN IN THIS SINCE 2009. NOW, IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY AND THEY CONTINUE FUNDING US FOR THE SUSTAINMENT OF THIS GRANT. QUESTIONS. YEP.

ALL RIGHT. IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, WE'LL TAKE THIS UP THIS AFTERNOON. THANK YOU.

[15. Discuss Change Order(s) for Whitesville Road Soccer Complex Expansion Project (Jay Anderson)]

WE ARE DOING WHITEVILLE ROAD SOCCER, WHICH INCLUDES THREE FULL SIZE SOCCER FIELDS, TWO BIG PARKING LOTS WHICH IS WELL NEEDED BECAUSE 470 PARKING SPOTS AND THEN ALSO STORM DRAIN SYSTEM THAT WOULD GO WITH THAT. IT'S A PRETTY BIG AREA, A LOT OF STORM WATER DRAIN, CATCH BASINS AND PIPING TO GET ALL THE STORM WATER OFF OF THREE SOCCER FIELDS AND TWO BIG PARKING LOTS. SO WE AWARDED THAT BACK IN MARCH, AND THEY'VE BEEN OUT THERE WORKING AWAY EVER SINCE THEN. AND DURING THE INSTALLATION. ALL DURING ALL THE GRADING, THE INSTALLATION

[00:35:04]

THERE WAS JUST MUCKY GROUNDWATER TYPE, JUST SPONGY. THE LOADER ACTUALLY BOTTOMED OUT AND FELL IN THERE. SO WE HAD TO DIG THAT AREA OUT AND THEN ALSO ADD FRENCH DRAINS. WE ALREADY HAD STORMWATER DRAINS GOING IN THERE TO CATCH THE THE FIELDS. AND SO WE ACTUALLY JUST ADDED SOME PERFORATED PIPE AND GRAVEL AND ADDED FRENCH DRAINS THAT THOSE FRENCH DRAINS IN THAT AREA DUMP THAT WATER INTO THE STORMWATER SYSTEM, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. AND AND SINCE THEN, LUCKILY, KNOCK ON WOOD, WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN GOOD SINCE WE DID THAT. AND THAT'S REALLY FIRMED UP. DRIED UP. AND IF YOU'RE RIDDEN BY LATELY THE THEY'RE THEY'RE STARTING TO WORK ON THE THIRD FIELD. NOW THEY'RE FOR THE ASTROTURF THE ARTIFICIAL TURF. IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD AND IT'S HOLDING UP REALLY WELL. BUT THAT WAS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST AREA THERE WITH THE THE BAD SOILS AND THOSE TWO SOCCER FIELDS AND THEN ADDING FRENCH DRAINS TO GET RID OF THE SURFACE WATER. THEY JUST GROUNDWATER THAT YOU RAN INTO THERE. AND THEN THE SIXTH WAS WE DID A LITTLE CONCRETE WORK. ONE OF THEM WAS A FLUME UP THERE ON THE ENTRANCE OFF OF FORT DRIVE. WE HAD PARKING LOT DRAINING THERE, AND WE NEEDED TO ADD CONCRETE FLUME TO KIND OF, I GUESS, CHANNEL AND FUNNEL THE WATER A PARTICULAR WAY, OTHERWISE IT WOULD JUST ERODE.

[00:40:02]

WE KNEW WE WOULD AND WE DID. WE RAN INTO IT. OKAY, WHERE'S THE FUNDING GOING TO COME FROM THIS PROJECT? IT'LL COME FROM THE CAPITAL FUND AS WE'VE DONE THE OTHER PROJECTS. AND I LOOK BACK AT, AT GRIGGS WITH THE BETWEEN THE POOL AND THE WORK WE DID ON THE GYM, THAT ALL THE WORK THERE AT GRIGGS THAT WE RAN INTO ABOUT THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF UNSUITABLE SOILS THAT WE DID HERE AT WRIGHTSVILLE. IT'S ABOUT THE SAME. THIS IS ACTUALLY A BIGGER AREA, THOUGH.

THIS IS A THIS IS A BIG AREA WHEN YOU'RE TALKING BOTH THOSE PARKING LOTS AND THE THREE FIELDS. THAT'S A PRETTY BIG AREA. THIS IS THIS IS THE FINAL TALLY BECAUSE WE'RE DONE WITH THE GRADING. LIKE I SAID, ALL THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE STARTING I THINK MAYBE TODAY OR TOMORROW PUTTING THE ARTIFICIAL TURF ON THE LAST FIELD. WE'VE ALREADY STARTED DOING THE GRASSING AROUND THE FIELDS. AND THEN AS SOON AS THOSE TWO THINGS ARE DONE, WE WILL LAY THE THE FINAL COAT OF ASPHALT. WE'RE JUST HOLDING OFF ON THE FINAL COAT OF ASPHALT TILL EVERYTHING'S DONE. SO IT'LL BE NICE AND BLACK AND AND PRISTINE AND, AND THEN THE LANDSCAPING IS THE LAST THING. SO WE'RE JUST DOWN TO THE LAST 3 OR 4 ITEMS, AND WE'LL BE OUT OF THERE IN ABOUT 45 TO 60 DAYS. SO THIS WAS NO ONE'S HAPPIER THAN I AM. THIS HAS BEEN ABOUT A 3 TO 4 YEAR PROJECT, AND I CAN SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. SO THIS WAS THIS WAS PHASE THREE, RIGHT. AM I REMEMBERING RIGHT THE, THE THE PARKING LOTS AND ALL THAT? THE REASON I'M SAYING IS, IS THAT I WAS UNDER UNDERSTANDING WHEN THEY BID IT. WE HAD THAT THERE COULD RUN INTO SOIL, BAD SOIL AND HAVE TO GET IT. SO WASN'T THERE AN AMOUNT IN THAT BID FOR THAT? WE I THINK I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION. WE DID NOT HAVE A LIKE AN ALLOWANCE. WE DID NOT HAVE AN ALLOWANCE LIKE A DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WOULD COVER LIKE WE DIDN'T SAY, OKAY, LET'S BUILD INTO THE PRICE $50,000 OR LET'S BUILD INTO THE PRICE 1000YD■!T F BAD. WE DIDN'T BUILD IN ANYTHING, BUT WE KNEW IT WAS PROBABLY THERE BECAUSE WE HIT IT EVERYWHERE. AND SO THAT'S WHY AS PART OF THE BIDDING PROCESS, THEY BID WHAT THE GRADING PLAN WAS AND THE STORMWATER AND THE PARKING LOTS. AND THEN THEY ALSO BID OVER HERE UNIT PRICES FOR IF THEY HIT THE SOIL, BAD SOILS. WHAT, WHAT THAT PRICE WOULD BE PER CUBIC YARD. OR WHEN THEY BRING IN THE STONE TO A LOT OF TIMES YOU HAVE TO BRING IN STONE THAT THAT WHAT WAS THE PRICE PER TON.

SO AT THE BEGINNING WE DIDN'T WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT IN THERE, BUT WE HAD UNIT PRICES THAT WERE FIXED IN CASE YOU HIT IT, YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE UNIT PRICES WOULD BE TO FIX IT PER CUBIC YARD OR PER TON OF STONE. AND ON HERE ON THAT CHART THAT THAT IS THE PRICES WE USED. DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YEAH. IF I CAN REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THOUGH, THE PHASES THAT WE VOTED ON WAS ALL FUNDED OUT OF SPLASH. ALL RIGHT. I THINK WHAT WE DID IS WE WE BORROWED MONEY FROM CAPITAL AND WITH WITH THE PLANS OF REPAYING OURSELVES WITH SPLASH SIX ONCE IT BECAME AVAILABLE. AND SO SONIA'S BEEN TRACKING THAT. AND WE TALKED ABOUT ACTUALLY THIS

[00:45:04]

AGAIN, JUST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH HOW WE HANDLED THE PAST. SO AGAIN, TO YOUR POINT, WE CAN CERTAINLY MAKE THAT PART OF THE MOTION TONIGHT. IF WE IF WE MOVE FORWARD, IS THAT WE WOULD TAKE MONEY FROM CAPITAL AND THEN REPAY OURSELVES WITH SPLOST SIX AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. SO THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TO PAY IT BACK. YES, SIR. OKAY. OUT OF SIX. WHAT? OUT OF SPLOST, 6 OR 6. THAT'S WHAT I WAS. I WAS UNDER IMPRESSION THAT EVERYTHING WAS COMING OUT OF SPLASH ON THIS PROJECT, BUT TO REX'S POINT, MR. SCOTT'S POINT THE SO THE THE ORIGINAL SOME OF THE FIRST PHASES OF LIKE PHASE ONE WAS TEARING DOWN THE SCHOOL AND DOING THE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT THAT THAT DERIVED FROM SPLOST FIVE. AND SO WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILLION IN SLOTS. FIVE. AND AGAIN, PART OF THAT PART OF THAT MONEY CAME FROM OR PART OF THAT PROJECT CAME WAS THE WAS THE DEMO PORTION. SO I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 900,000 FOR THE DEMO, PLUS SOME OF THE THEN WE DID SOME WORK TO THE GYMNASIUM. WE HAD SOME ROOF ISSUES ABOVE THE FOUR CLASSROOMS THAT WERE LEFT OVER. WE HAD A TPO ROOF TO THAT FACILITY, AND SO THE MONEY RAN OUT BEFORE THE PROJECT COULD BE COMPLETED. PHASE THREE ON UP IS ALL SPLOST SIX, CORRECT? YES, SIR. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. IT'S BEEN A 3 OR 4 YEAR FROM THE TIME WE GOT IT FROM THE SCHOOL, AND THEN KIND OF GOT OUR PLAN TOGETHER AND THEN PUT IT OUT TO BID FOR THE DEMO AND THE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT. AND THEN WE REDID THE FLOOR OF THE GYM. WE PAINTED THE GYM, PUT A NEW TPO ROOF ON THAT. WE BASICALLY WERE ABLE TO RENOVATE WHAT WAS LEFT OVER AND DO THE DEMO WITH SPOTIFY, BUT THEN THE REST OF THE PROJECT WAS OUT OF SIX, WHICH WAS UPGRADING THE LIGHTING AND THEN THE TURFS. AND I CAN SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THANK GOD WE'RE WE'RE ALMOST THERE TO THE FINISH LINE. WELL, AND I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL AGAIN TO BE TRANSPARENT AS WELL. I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT WE'RE COMING BACK FOR ONE ONE LAST THING, WHICH IS THE LANDSCAPING, WHICH YOU TALKED ABOUT AS WELL AS WELL, SO THAT THAT WILL BE ONE FINAL PIECE OF THE PROJECTS. AND AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN DO THAT. OBVIOUSLY OUT IN THE PARKING LOT. IT'S DONE. LIGHTING IS DONE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO AND TEAR OURSELVES BACK UP. AND SO AND IT'S A GOOD PLANNING TIME TO PLANT SHRUBS AND TREES. SO SO I KNOW JAY IS WORKING ON THAT AND WE'RE WORKING ON BIDDING THAT OUT RIGHT NOW. HAVE TO MEET WITH MULTIPLE LANDSCAPERS AND GET COMPETITIVE QUOTES. YEAH, THAT'S MY LAST PIECE I'M WORKING ON. REFRESH MY MEMORY THOUGH. WE HAVE GOT PLAYGROUND ALSO THOUGH, RIGHT? THAT WAS OUT OF A DIFFERENT GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE. BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT WOULD BE THE ANOTHER PIECE TO IT WOULD BE PUT THAT PLAYGROUND IN. YES. WITH THE LANDSCAPING TIE INTO THAT PLAYGROUND. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE IT OUT OF THAT AREA. EVEN LIKE FOR INSTANCE, SOME OF THE THE GRASSING WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AROUND THE ARTIFICIAL TURF, THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO LEAVE THAT SECTION OUT AND JUST PUT SOME SEED AND HAY THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO LAY NICE SOD. AND THEN IN THREE, 4 OR 5 MONTHS DIG IT UP. PLAYGROUND IN. SO, SO TO YOUR POINT TO SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING AND SOME OF THE FINAL GRASSING, WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE OFF OF THAT AREA BECAUSE THERE'S NO REASON TO PUT IT IN AND THEN TEAR IT UP. SO PREVIOUSLY WE HAD ALSO WHEN WE DID THE THE TURF, THERE WAS ALSO SOME SOD TOO. THAT'S THE PART I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE LANDSCAPING. NO. WE ALREADY APPROVED THE SOD. YES, WE ALREADY APPROVED THAT SOD. THAT WAS BASICALLY EVERYTHING INSIDE OF THE SIDEWALK AND IN THE PARKING LOT. THAT'S WHAT YOU REFER TO. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING, THOUGH, BECAUSE, I MEAN, WE ALREADY APPROVED THAT. WE KNEW AT THE END WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE LANDSCAPING. CORRECT. YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT GRASS. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED DOING THAT. GRASSING TO IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT THAT'S FIELD ARTIFICIAL TURF IS DONE. IF YOU RIDE BY ON THE LEFT FIELD ONE OF THE FAR TO THE LEFT, THE MIDDLE ONE IS DONE. AND SO STARTING MAYBE TODAY OR TOMORROW, THEY'RE STARTING TO PUT THE ARTIFICIAL TURF ON THE, THE FAR RIGHT ONE THAT'S ALONG WHITESVILLE ROAD. AND THEN THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED DOING THE SOD AND GRASSING OVER BY THE FIRST ONE, WHERE BASICALLY THE SOD AND GRASSING IS FOLLOWING THEM AS THEY FINISH A ARTIFICIAL FIELD. THEY'RE JUST FOLLOWING THEM TOWARDS WHITESVILLE ROAD AND ALL THAT'S MOVING, MOVING RIGHT NOW TO WHERE IT'LL ALL BE DONE IN 30. THAT PART WILL BE DONE IN 30 DAYS. AND THEN ALL WE GOT TO DO IS DO THE FINAL COAT OF ASPHALT AND THEN THE LANDSCAPING THAT I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, THE FARTHEST TWO TO THE LEFT SIDE DOWN BELOW, IS THAT WHERE THE PLAYGROUND AREA IS. PLAYGROUND IS RIGHT THERE. RIGHT THERE. OKAY, I SEE IT NOW. OKAY. SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO LAY THE SOD IN THAT AREA BECAUSE THERE'S NO REASON TO LAY IT AND TEAR IT UP.

[00:50:04]

THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S FURTHEST OUT OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR I'LL MOVE ON TO. OKAY. GOTTA GET MY BROTHER UP HERE THOUGH. GOOD COUSIN RIGHT. THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ARE SOME WORK THAT WE

[16. Discuss Roof Replacement - Troup County / LaGrange / Callaway Airport - Airplane Hangar (Jay Anderson & Troy Anderson) ]

SO EITHER WAY YOU'RE GETTING A 20 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE MANUFACTURER'S PRODUCT AND A TWO YEAR CRAFTSMANSHIP AND LABOR. SO THE WARRANTY IS THE SAME WHICHEVER WAY YOU GO. AND WE HAVE DECIDED TO TO RECOMMEND THE TPO ROOF WITH METAL WORKS, MAYBE 60,000, IT IS THE CHEAPEST, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT'S AN OCCUPIED HANGAR AND THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF STUFF IN THERE AND IT'S THE LEAST INVASIVE TO THEM IS TO LEAVE THE METAL ROOF ON AND THEN JUST PUT TPO MEMBRANE OVER IT, BECAUSE THEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE RISK OF STUFF FALLING IN THERE AS THE TEARING THE ROOF OFF, OR THEY GET PART OF THE ROOF TORE OFF AND IT RAINS. AND SO BEING AN OCCUPIED BUILDING THAT THAT'S THE LEAST INVASIVE TO THE THE TENANT WHO'S IN THERE.

SO OUR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO GO WITH MCCALLUM FOR $60,230 TO DO THE TPO OVERLAY. WERE THESE COMPANIES THAT MCCALLUM IS OUT OF? THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DID THE THE NEW METAL ROOF AT DALLAS STREET AND DID A GOOD JOB. AND THEY ALSO ARE THE SAME ONE THAT DID THE NEW METAL ROOF AT THE THE BUS BARN OR THE MAINTENANCE BUILDING THAT SOCCER. THEY'VE DONE TWO JOBS FOR US LAST YEAR AND DONE A GOOD JOB, AND THEY'VE DONE REPAIRS AT THE AIRPORT AS WELL.

AND THEN MJR SOLUTIONS, THEY'RE OUT OF MANCHESTER. THAT'S THE ONE THAT WE AWARDED ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO DO THE ROOF AT HOGANSVILLE ACTIVE LIFE, THE HOGANSVILLE REC CENTER. THAT'S THE ONE. THEY'RE OUT OF MANCHESTER AND WE'VE USED THEM BEFORE TOO. SO BOTH OF THOSE WHICH DID IT, THEY'VE DONE WORK WITH US IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND THEY DO. THEY DO A GOOD JOB. I THINK IT'S JUST MEMBRANE. I THINK IT'S THE MEMBRANE 60 MIL, 20 YEAR WARRANTY IS THE 60 MIL. YOU CAN GO UP TO AN 80 MIL WHICH BUMPS YOU UP TO, I THINK, A 30 YEAR WARRANTY IF YOU GO WITH THE 80 MIL. BUT WE WENT WITH THE 60 MIL, WHICH IS AGAIN THE SAME 20 YEAR WARRANTY AS THE METAL WOULD HAVE BEEN. SO WARRANTY IS THE SAME. WHAT'S THE PROCESS AT THE 20 YEARS AT THE YOU KNOW, THE LIFE OF THAT MEMBRANE? MY MOST LIKELY I WOULD SAY THAT THAT IT WOULD BE JUST TO PUT ANOTHER MEMBRANE OVER IT. OKAY. BECAUSE YOU CAN PUT A MEMBRANE RIGHT OVER IT. HOW'S THAT PROCESS? HOW DOES IT GO TO THE METAL ITSELF? IS THERE IS THERE ANYTHING THAT GOES IN BETWEEN THE TWO? YES. YOU READ THERE SAYS HOW THEY WILL. TO THE ROOF SYSTEM THAT THEY ACTUALLY THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS PUT DOWN A FLUTED FILL INSULATION.

THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT GOES ON THE METAL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE SPINNING IS THERE'S

[00:55:03]

SOUNDS LIKE MCCALLUM'S GOT A GOOD TRACK RECORD WITH TRI-COUNTY. WHAT THEY'VE DONE.

YEAH, THAT WAS A BIG JOB AT DALLAS STREET. AND AND THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND CLEANED UP OUT THERE. EASY TO WORK WITH. NICE TO TALK TO YOU. FAMILY RUN BUSINESS MCCALLUM FAMILY. AND THEY DID THE BUS BARN. LIKE I SAID THE MAINTENANCE SHED AT WHITESVILLE. AND THEY DID A GOOD JOB THERE. AND THEY'VE DONE WORK AT THE AIRPORT LIKE YOU SAID. RIGHT. SO THAT'LL BE

[17. Discuss Request to Replace the HVAC Unit at the Airplane Hangar located at 201 Airport Parkway (Jay Anderson / Troy Anderson)]

WE GOT THREE QUOTES ON THAT, ONE FROM AIR FORCE HEATING AND AIR, ONE FROM JACKSON, ONE FROM SWIFT BROTHERS WHERE THEY'RE IT'S A TWO TON GAS FURNACE, AIR CONDITIONER. IT'S REALLY JUST FOR THE OFFICE AREA, I BELIEVE. AND THE LOW ON THAT WAS JACKSON AT $6,400. SO OUR STAFF RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO GO WITH JACKSON SERVICES AT $6,400 FOR THAT TWO TON GAS FURNACE.

THIS EQUIPMENT WAS INSTALLED IN 95, 96. IT'S ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED. IT'S GOOD. IT'S LASTED A LONG TIME. YEAH. DID YOU. WHY IS THERE SUCH A PRICE DIFFERENCE HERE? I CAN'T SAY, OKAY. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD THESE ALL THE SAME BRAND. HE ASKED HIM AND THEY. I THINK TROY ASKED HIM TO, BUT IS IT THE SAME BRAND, SAME TONNAGE OR. YEAH, THAT WAS THE REQUEST. THE EXACT SAME BRAND, WHICH WAS CARRIER. TWO TIMES. TWO TIMES SPLIT. YEAH. 80% FURNACE. THEY DID SOME OTHER STUFF. I MEAN, I CAN'T SAY, BUT THEY DID OTHER STUFF FOR US RECENTLY THAT'S BEEN KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE NEW OWNERS. THEY WERE SOLD OUT AGAIN. AND THE AIRPORT DID THE FBO THAT THE THE COUNTY PAID FOR AND THAT WE SAW THE SAME SORT OF DELTA. THAT'S RIGHT. JACKSON ENDED UP OWNERSHIP SHIFTED LIKE TO MIAMI OR SOMEWHERE. RIGHT. WELL, THE NEW OWNER, I BELIEVE, IS OUT OF RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA. OKAY. IT WAS MIAMI WHEN THEY BOUGHT IT FROM DAN BLANTON. BLAYLOCK. SORRY. DAN BLAYLOCK. IT WAS A COMPANY OUT OF MIAMI THAT BOUGHT HIM OUT. AND THEN IN THE LAST 3 OR 4 MONTHS, THEY'VE BEEN BOUGHT OUT AGAIN BY A COMPANY OUT OF THE CAROLINAS. I BELIEVE. IT'S SO I THINK, IN ALL THIS. PRICING'S GOT A LITTLE HAYWIRE, MAYBE. THAT MAKES SENSE NOW. OKAY. THAT'LL BE ON THE AGENDA AS WELL. TROY

[18. Discuss Approval to Accept Bids for Obstruction Clearance - Airport (Troy Anderson)]

[01:00:02]

SO MOVING FORWARD, THE MONIES THAT WILL BE USED WILL BE OUT OF THE AIRPORT ENTERPRISE FUND TO CONTRACT THIS WORK. WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO SUPPORT THAT. I'LL ALSO PUT OUT THAT THE DURING THE TIMBER CLEARANCE EARLIER IN THE YEAR, THE AIRPORT REAPED ABOUT $40,000 IN REVENUE AS A RESULT OF THAT TIMBER CLEARING THAT THAT TIMBER WAS HARVESTED AND WE WERE THE BENEFICIARY OF THAT. SO THAT WILL HELP OFFSET SOME OF OUR COSTS. BUT AT PRESENT, THE AIRPORT ENTERPRISE FUND HAS SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ENTIRE CONTRACT HERE. THIS IS NOT REIMBURSABLE. WE WISH IT WERE. IF THE THESE PROPERTIES WERE LOCATED ON AIRPORT PROPERTY, WE COULD SUBMIT TO TO DOT AND FAA REIMBURSEMENT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S NOT THE CASE MOVING FORWARD AS PART OF THE BID PROCESS. IT WILL IF, WITH YOUR PERMISSION, WE'LL KICK OFF AROUND THE 6TH OF NOVEMBER. ACTUALLY, WE'LL KICK OFF NEXT WEEK AND WE'LL CLOSE OUT ON THE 6TH OF NOVEMBER, AND THEN WE'LL ASSESS WHO THE THE BEST CONTRACTOR IS FOR THAT WORK. THE INTENT IS TO HAVE IT COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE YEAR. AS OUR ORIGINAL REQUEST TO GIVE US THE ALLOWANCE BY DOT TO TO HAVE ALL THIS WORK.

RUNWAY THREE AND TWO ONE COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE YEAR. BUT IF WE'RE SHOWING PROGRESS, WHICH WE ARE BASED ON, THE FACT THAT WE'RE COMING FOR YOU FOR AN APPROVAL THAT THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO US. BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, WE HAVE TO GET THESE TREES DOWN. THE INTENT IS TO REMOVE THE TREES TO INCLUDE GRINDING ALL THE STUMPS. THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE HOLLOWAY. NOW THERE'S 1 OR 2 PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE WOULD BE RETAINED ON SITE, AND WE'LL WORK WITH THOSE INDIVIDUALS INDIVIDUALLY. IF THERE'S QUESTION ABOUT BEING ABLE TO HARVEST. I BELIEVE THESE THESE ARE MOSTLY HARDWOODS AND THEY ARE SUBSTANTIAL IN SIZE. SO WHILE TIMBER HARVESTING LOOKS FOR SPECIFIC SIZE TREES, VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SPECIES, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE THE TREES ALONG GORDON COMMERCIAL AND ON THESE PROPERTIES ARE THEY'RE MASSIVE. INCLUDE ONE 1 OR 2 ARE GOING TO BE VERY VERY COMPLEX WHERE WE HAVE TO POTENTIALLY EMPLOY CRANE SERVICES TO LIFT THE TOPS OF THESE TREES OUT AND TAKE THEM DOWN INTO, YOU KNOW, IN SEGMENTS. SO SORRY FOR THE LONG PRESENTATION, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF DETAILS HERE IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE. SO ALL THE LAND ON PEGASUS WHERE LIKE AT WEST POINT ROAD WHERE THOSE ARE THE TREES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BACK IN THERE WHERE THEY THOSE HAVE ALREADY BEEN CLEARED. AND SO BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND CALLAWAY FOUNDATION, THEY ARE UNDER CONTRACT, JUST AS WE WERE ARE WE HAVE 42 ACRES AND OURS HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CLEARED. AND SO OUR CONTRACT WITH THE BIG 40, I BELIEVE IS THE NAME OF THE COMPANY. WE'RE WE'RE CLEAR NOW. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER END OF THE THE AIRPORT RIGHT THERE AT MCDONALD OIL, WHERE DONALD OIL IS LOCATED, HIS PROPERTY AND MOVING TOWARDS LEE'S CROSSING. THE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS THERE, ALONG WITH COMMERCIAL THAT NEED TO BE CLEARED. SO THESE ARE LIKE RESIDENTS AND STUFF. AND YOU JUST GO AND THERE'S SOME COMMERCIAL. YES, SIR. BUT PIECEMEAL, EACH PROPERTY'S GOT PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO UPWARDS OF TEN, 12, 15 TREES. AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY DELICATELY WITH EACH OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS. IN FACT, THERE WAS 1 OR 2 PROPERTY OWNERS WE'VE WE'VE BEEN CHASING FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, TWO YEARS TO GAIN CONTACT WITH. SO IT'S BEEN A TOUGH PROCESS. BUT

THANK YOU SIR. WHERE'S THE FUNDING GOING TO COME FROM FOR THE ROOF IN THE ALL ALL ITEMS ARE COMING FROM THE AIRPORT FUND. WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDING RIGHT NOW IN THAT FUND TO BE ABLE TO COVER THE COST AGAIN. I MEAN, IF IT DOESN'T, THEN ULTIMATELY THE COUNTY IS

[19. Discuss Preliminary Plat Review - Pointe Vista - Crafted Milestone LLC (Ruth West)]

LOTS WILL BE 67, ONE WILL BE AN OPEN SPACE. ALL OF THE DRIVEWAYS WILL BE ON INTERNAL ROADS. THE PROPOSED LOTS RANGE FROM ONE ACRE TO 16.973 ACRES, AND ALL PARCELS WILL BE SERVED BY PUBLIC WATER AND SEPTIC. THE LAND USE TRENDS IN THE AREA ARE MIXTURE OF SMALL AND MEDIUM LOTS. THE USES IN THE GENERAL AREA ARE LARGELY RESIDENTIAL, WITH ONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND ONE LIMITED COMMERCIAL PARCEL. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MAJOR SUBDIVISION WILL INCREASE POPULATION DENSITY PATTERNS AND INCREASE USE OF PUBLIC FACILITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SCHOOLS, UTILITIES, POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION AND STREETS. THE PROPOSED CHANGE WILL INCREASE TRAFFIC CONDITION AND MAY AFFECT PUBLIC SAFETY DEMANDS. THE PROPOSED CHANGE SHOULD NOT CREATE ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. THE DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATED THIS AREA AS EMERGING NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR THIS AREA. THIS IS FOR YOUR REVIEW AND PROVIDE COMMENTS OF ANY CHANGES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE. IT IS IT WILL BE GOING BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING ON THURSDAY FOR THEIR APPROVAL. WHAT WAS THAT YOU SAID AGAIN? YOU SAID IT. THE STAFF LOOKED AT IT AND IT WILL DO WHAT TO THE PUBLIC? OH WHICH ONE? I HAVE ONE. WHAT? THAT SAYS IT WILL INCREASE THE POPULATION DENSITY PATTERNS AND WILL INCREASE USE OF PUBLIC FACILITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SCHOOL UTILITIES, POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION AND STREETS BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE AT LEAST 6 TO 6 NEW RESIDENTIAL LOTS. OKAY. WAS THAT LIKE DURING THE STAFF MEETING? DID THEY HAVE A WE DO TYPICALLY HAVE THE WHAT DO THEY CALL THEM, THE DRY OR THE PARK DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE. WE HAVE ROADS AND ENGINEERING, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE ASSISTANT COUNTY MANAGER AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT REVIEW THEM WITH THEM. SAY WAS THERE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS OR ANYTHING THAT THEY NEEDED TO? WE'VE TAKEN CARE OF ALL THE ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT THEY NEEDED TO PLACE ON THERE. I THINK OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE THINGS, OBVIOUSLY, THE COMMISSIONERS ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE NEW FIRE STATION IN THAT AREA, CERTAINLY. SO THAT CERTAINLY WILL HELP TREMENDOUSLY WITH COVERAGE. AND AGAIN, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, ANYTIME WE ADD A NEW SUBDIVISION, WE CERTAINLY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE, THE IMPACTS OF OF OF ALL THINGS, OBVIOUSLY.

AND AGAIN, YOU HAVE 66, YOU KNOW, SUBURBAN LAKESIDE LOTS AND WITH POTENTIALLY OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THAT SORT OF THING. AND SO CERTAINLY THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WILL HAVE SOME IMPACTS AS WELL. I THINK WE'RE SAYING THAT BASICALLY ACKNOWLEDGING THE FACT THAT THAT A SUBDIVISION OF THAT SIZE WAS 66 LOTS. WILL IT INCREASE SOME TRAFFIC? YES. WILL IT INCREASE SOME NEED FOR SERVICES. YES. BUT WE DIDN'T WE DIDN'T WE DID NOT STATE IN THERE THAT IT WAS GOING TO OVERBURDEN THE SYSTEM OR, OR BE, YOU KNOW, NEGATIVELY ADVANTAGEOUS OR ANYTHING. WE JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT IT ISN'T GOING TO INCREASE IT. YES. I WAS JUST WANT THIS IN THE AREA WHERE THE NEW FIRE STATION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. AND IT WAS JUST SO

[01:10:04]

OH, FOR A YEAR. ALMOST TWO YEARS. REALLY? YES. THERE'S A LOT OF RESEARCH AND JUST WENT INTO IT TO SEE IF IT'S A VIABLE DEVELOPMENT. NICE. LOTS NICE HOUSES. IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD ADDITION. I MEAN, I THINK SO. PROPERTY IS ALREADY ZONED FOR IT IS ZONED DEVELOPMENT AND IT CAME IN BEFORE. THE REASON WHY IT IS THE ONE ACRE LOTS IS BECAUSE IT CAME IN BEFORE THE THE NEW UDO WENT IN. SO THEY'RE ALLOWED THAT DENSITY. AND SO TONIGHT IS THIS JUST THIS MIGHT BE THE IT WON'T BE TONIGHT. I WAS FIXING TO SAY THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST ONE THAT'S COME TO, TO THE COMMISSIONERS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO A SUBDIVISION, THE PRELIMINARY PLAT COMES TO THE BOARD JUST FOR LIKE, FYI. HEY, IT'S COMING. JUST SO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT? DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS? BUT BUT WHEN IT COMES TO APPROVING THIS PRELIMINARY PLAT, THAT JUST GOES TO THE BOARD OF ZONING OKAY. TO BE THURSDAY. SO IT WON'T BE ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA. WE ALWAYS DO IT AT THE WORK SESSION AS LIKE THE FYI IS COMING. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT FOR THE FINAL PLAT WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. RIGHT. AND THAT THAT WILL BE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING IN A ROAD. SO THEY'LL HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM ROADS AND ENGINEER BEFORE THEY CAN COME BEFORE YOU FOR THE FINAL PLANS. RIGHT. PRELIMINARY PLAT, SUPPORTIVE ZONING. BUT THEN THE FINAL PLAT WILL BE LAID OFF. BUT THAT'S AFTER THE ROADS BUILT AND UTILITIES ARE DONE AND FINAL GROUND STABILIZATION HAS BEEN DONE. AND JAMES IS HAPPY WITH IT. AND THEN THEY DO A FINAL, FINAL SURVEY OF THE WAY IT'S BUILT. AND THEN THAT WILL COME BACK BEFORE YOU. THE APPLICANT AND THE SURVEYORS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM. THANK YOU ALL. ALL
