V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. City Manager Report.(Bob
Wolfram acting)
*
City Hall & Fire/EMS building projects are on time & within budget.
Steel for city hall is about 30 days behind but is now expected next week.
Final finishing details were discussed with both contractors and the architect
and the intent is to match the Landplan drawings for the two blocks adjacent
to City Hall.
* Hope to have at least a rough 2005-06 city budget estimate in about 10 days
* Concern that news story speculating about potential combination of fire
and EMS Departments was premature. The study has not even been discussed at
a working session or been considered by the commission.
* Deadlines looming for SK&O cleanup along rail right-of-way. Two properties
(the coop and elevator buildings) have potential for being taken over by another
party but the Corporation Commission will not release SK&O from their
liability.
2. Discussion and possible action addressing stormwater drainage issue located
between 14th & 15th streets and South Street on a request by Virginia
and David King to appear. I only heard a bit of this
discussion as I left to cover the NHS meeting before it completed. Did hear
Bob Wolfram indicate that a clean up was in order but wanted to consider the
entire creek situation to prevent problems down stream if cleanup was not
well planned and implemented.--Ted
3. Request to address Commission concerning update of Friends of the Collinsville Animal Shelter (FOCAS) by Dr. Susan Babbitt. -- I missed this presentation -- Ted
4. Request to address Commission concerning engineering review fees assessed for the Stone Village development, requested by Kyle Smalygo. -- I was back in time for the end of this discussion. Kyle was concerned with a $1500 fee to have his drawings reviewed by city engineers when he was months into a major project and given no advance notice that these new fees would be assessed. No action was taken.
5. Consideration and possible
action to approve City participation during the Fourth of July fireworks.
-- the commission approved a $3500 budget for fireworks
to be purchased by the city and set off by city employees. The event would
be in the City Park again.
6. Consideration and possible approval of contracting with Accurate Environmental
for water and waste water quality monitoring services. --
approved $250/mo operations assistance, training and testing for drinking
water quality.
VI. Consideration of any new business, which can be considered an emergency,
to come before the Authority not known about or which could not have been
reasonably anticipated at the time of posting this agenda. --
none
