Alderman Rhoads: Are there notice provisions for this March 15th meeting? 113 West Mountain 72701 (479)521-7700 (479)575-8257(Fax) City Council Meeting Minutes March 1,2005 Page 3 of 14 Tim Conklin: Yes we have re-notified the school districts, school board and the taxing entities. The publication in the newspaper occurred last Sunday and will occur again this coming Sunday. We have met the notification requirements for the Project Plan amendment. Alderman Marr: Will the request be to go through all readings in one meeting? Tim Conklin: Yes it will be. We are trying to meet the deadlines for the financial institutions that are participating in this project. It is critical that we move this project forward. Looking at the contractual obligations for the purchase of the property we have set the calendar for a March 15th approval process in order to meet those deadlines. Kit Williams: We have read the Project Plan ordinance for three times, it will just have to be approved as amended with the amended Project Plan. The bond ordinance is the one that we will ask to go through all three readings and approve. I appreciate the fact that the Niblock Family and Firm have agreed to give us more time. Should the City Council approve the bond ordinance and the bond purchase agreement, the bonds themselves will have a closing date of April 191h and the property will be purchased April 201h. It is my understanding that all the property owners have agreed to extend the time. The City of Fayetteville is appreciative of them being willing to work with us. Alderman Marr: The reason that I asked the question is not that I am opposed to that at all. I think that we have been through this for so long that I want to make it clear to the citizens that this is a request that we look at this in one reading so if they have any comments they have between now and the 151h to get it to us. Mayor Coody: The staff has worked tirelessly on this; the developers and the City Council have kept working on this. This is going to be a project when all is said and done it will very much have been worth it. John Nock: Thanked the Council, staff and the property owners. He also thanked Kit Williams for his work on this project. We continue with the architecture design, we have done some modifications to allow some more flexibility on the parking so the people on Center Street will have more parking opportunities. We also have gone ahead, to save some time on the timeline; we have engaged and are paying out of pocket the environmental studies that will be required so that once the property changes hands from the current owners to the City those tests will have already been put into place. The process required for demolition can be the very next step rather than waiting that additional time. I don't think we have lost as much time as some have anticipated; a lot has been going on behind the scenes. I encourage citizens if they want to come out and talk, this will be a good time to do it. Bank of Fayetteville has been extremely patient and 1 think that we are going to meet their needs so there is no recapture on the tax credits that they have allocated towards the project. We have a little bit longer but together we will get there. Alderman Marr moved to table the ordinance until the March 15, 2005 City Council meeting. Alderman Jordan seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479)521-7700 (479)575-8257(Fax) City Council Meeting Minutes March 1,2005 Page 4 of 14 NEW BUSINESS: Shake's Property Offer: A resolution to accept an offer from Stephen L. Davis to purchase the remainder of the former Shake's property and building for $178,555.00. Stephen L. Davis, Purchaser: Thank you very much for your consideration and particularly for your patience in getting to this point. Alderman Jordan moved to approve the Resolution. Alderman Cook seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously. Resolution 40-05 as Recorded in the Office of the City Clerk. SBC Communications Project Approval: A resolution approving a project with SBC Communications in the amount of$61,227.86 to provide for the implementation of redundant wired data link to all of the City's remote sites. Scott Huddleston, IT: We have close to 100 users out there at remote sites that are currently connecting back with wireless connects. There are some single points of failure that if they go down then all 100 people are without the ability to connect back to the City to do their computer work. It is a huge down time loss when they go down. This will load balance our existing network plus provide for outages if they occur in the future. Alderman Jordan moved to approve the Resolution. Alderman Reynolds seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously. Resolution 41-05 as Recorded in the Office of the City Clerk. UVorld Maintenance Approval: An ordinance waiving the requirements of formal competitive bidding and approving payments not to exceed $20,000.00 to IFWorld for maintenance and enhancement of the City website's Content Management System. Mr. Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Jordan moved to suspend the rules and go to the second reading. Alderman Ferrell seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. Mr. II<llianis read the ordinance. Alderman Jordan moved to suspend the rules and go to the third and final reading. Alderman Ferrell seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously. Mr. Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Cook: I have had citizens sometimes comment that they find it difficult to navigate the website. What is the protocol or how do we access that? 113 West Mountain 72701 (479)521-7700 (479)575-8257(Fax) City Council Meeting Minutes March 1,2005 Page 5 of 14 Scott Huddleston: We do get comments back to the webmaster. We have an in-house website committee that looks at these things. The basic process is to send your comments to the webmaster or to the website committee. Alderman Cook: How often do you evaluate? Scott Huddleston: The website committee meets once a month. The members have different parts of the website that they look at and evaluate. There are certain pieces that we need to do that only IFWorld can do. That is kind of what this proposal is for. Mayor Coody: I have experienced the same thing myself sometimes. It is a very complex and data loaded site. There is so much information that sometimes it is hard to find what you are looking for. If there is a way that we can work to streamline this and to make it more simple for people like myself and others let's see if we can't do that. Scott Huddleston: That's where we are heading. Mayor Coody asked shall the ordinance pass. Upon roll call the ordinance passed unanimously. Ordinance 4681 as Recorded in the Office of the City Clerk. Reappropriate Capital Improvement Funds: A resolution approving a Budget Adjustment to reappropriate $130,334,454.00 in.order to retain current fiscal year project funding for identified and scheduled capital improvements. Alderman Thiel: This proposal is strictly the capital improvements. Is there going to be a reauthorization of the operational funding? Kevin Springer, Budget and Research: Currently there are no operational funds that have to be re- budgeted. We have sufficient funding in 2005 to maintain all the needs without having to go back to last year's funding and grab it. Alderman Jordan: Kevin, for the people at home can you explain to them what we are doing here? Kevin Springer: This is a routine house keeping item that we have to bring forward every year. At the end of every fiscal year which is December 31st our funding will lapse. We have the City Council re- appropriate the budget and move it forward to 2005. All we are doing is asking for reapproval of the same project money again. Most of it you will see another time or two when you are presented with contracts. Alderman Marr: The Mission and Maple signalization; has that study been started? Gary Dumas, Operations Director: It was denied last year because of traffic. We have looked at other alternatives to solving the problem at that intersection, there has been quite a bit of neighborhood discussion about what the solutions might be. I don't know if there is consensus in the neighborhood on what change would be most appropriate there. The traffic has not changed there. We can continue with 113 West Mountain 72701 (479)521-7700 (479)575-8257(Fax) • • City Council Meeting Minutes March 1,2005 Page 6 of 14 that traffic evaluation and see if it could meet some warrant for a traffic signal. I don't know of a solution that is not going to generate significant neighborhood disagreement. Alderman Marr: We are holding that money there for whatever solution there might be. It is not necessarily dedicated to this signalization. Gary Dumas: It can be used for whatever the solution is, if there is a solution that will solve the problem. That solution might be re-designation of Highway 45 to some alternative route, which we are looking at also. Alderman Rhoads moved to approve the Resolution. Alderman Jordan seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously. Resolution 42-05 as Recorded in the Office of the City Clerk. Ford Motor Company General Release and Waiver: A resolution to approve the General Release and Waiver from Ford Motor Company and to authorize the Mayor to sign the General Release and Waiver. Mayor Coody: Kit you are relatively comfortable with the waiver? Kit Williams: I certainly haven't changed my position from what I originally said. I don't really like under cutting the Attorney General on this. However it is certainly a policy issue for the City Council to determine. The Police Department is in need of new police cars. I don't generally like to have a waiver of liability in order to purchase a product but this might be an exceptional circumstance. It is really for the City Council to determine. The waiver is entitled a General Release and Waiver and is supposed to be restricted. There is some restrictive language within it that hopefully we can rely on but there is other broader language in it. It was drafted by Ford so it would be interpreted against Ford so hopefully the restrictive language would be the controlling language. Mayor Coody: I called Attorney General Beebe and asked him if we would be under minding him if we approved this. He said not at all if we need to do it go ahead. This doesn't slow him down one bit; he is going to be okay with it. Captain Greg Tabor, Police Department: Obviously the last thing I want to try to convince you to do is to go against the advice of the City Attorney. The Police Department basically has been using the Ford Police Crown Interceptor exclusively since 1990, prior to that we did have some Chevrolet Impalas. Most police departments in this area also use the police interceptor from Ford a few of them have tried various things like the Dodge Intrepid and the Chevrolet Impala but they have quickly moved back to the Crown as their vehicle of choice. Washington County did a cost analysis and they determined that the Impala and the Intrepid cost about $4.00 a day more to operate than the Ford Crown Vic did. We have identified two alternative vehicles if this waiver is not signed one of which we believe is not a very viable option that is the Chevrolet Impala. It is a smaller vehicle on the inside and that creates a lot of problems for us. We have computer laptops in the cars that sit in the passenger side of the vehicle which creates a problem when we are riding two officers in the vehicle. The size of the interior is a definite problem for us. The Impala is also a six cylinder vehicle which is front wheel drive, we see some problems having a mixed fleet with some vehicles being front wheel drive and some being rear wheel drive. In a pursuit the officer will have to remember which vehicle he is driving because of 113 West Mountain 72701 (479)521-7700 (479)575-8257(Fax) City Council Meeting Minutes March 1,2005 Page 7 of 14 the handling characteristics of the car. The second one we identified is the Chevrolet Tahoe; in 2005 they came out with a true police package Tahoe. It is a two wheel drive vehicle and would meet our needs for space. The fuel economy is approximately the same as the Ford that we are driving now. The problem with the Tahoe is that it is about $8,000 more per unit that the Crown Vic. In 2005 there are 13 new vehicles budgeted so if we go with the Tahoe, Fleet would need about another $100,000 to $110,000 to purchase Tahoe's instead of Crown Vic's. Alderman Ferrell: At budget time we added these patrolmen if we have budgeted the money I would move that we go ahead and approve the resolution. Alderman Reynolds: Our fleet management practice has improved. We went from running police cars from 65,000 to 120,000-miles and that saved us money. We didn't replace cars in 2004; we are at the point that we have to have cars this year, they are three short for implementing the plan in 2005. I will support this; we certainly need to order these cars. Alderman Marr: After reading the City Attorney's memo I was uncomfortable supporting this. Having had the discussion at agenda session about risk versus our decision I do think it is prudent to move forward. This is currently an investigation and not an actual case. I think our City Attorney will be able to adequately defend us based on the information that we have at this point I think our risk is fairly small. I will vote for the resolution. Alderman Ferrell moved to approve the Resolution. Alderman Lucas seconded the motion. Upon roll call the resolution passed unanimously. Resolution 43-05 as Recorded in the Office of the City Clerk. Fayetteville Downtown Partners Contract: An ordinance waiving the requirements of formal competitive bidding and approving a contract for services with Fayetteville Downtown Partners in the amount of$150,000.00 to assist in the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan. Mr. Williams read the ordinance. Alderman Rhoads: I serve on the Board of this organization at the request of the City I think I will recuse my voting on this. Tim Conklin, Planning: This is a contract and bid waiver ordinance for services with Downtown Partners. This organization was formerly known as the Downtown Dickson Street Enhancement Project and reorganized with its primary mission to assist the City in implementing the Downtown Master Plan. This organization also represents the area that is included in the Downtown Master Plan. Last September we adopted the Downtown Master Plan and it recommended working with this type of organization and looking at how to create an organization that is self supporting. Within the contract the main focus is for this organization to look at developing funding mechanisms to become self supporting over the next three years. In the contract it also talks about identifying the feasibility of a business improvement district and based on that feasibility implementing a business improvement district within this area of the Downtown Master Plan. Mr. Conklin explained some of the scope of services that are outlined in their contract. 113 West Mountain 72701 (479)521-7700 (479)575-8257(Fax)
