Speaker 29: We have launched our a city survey, and so this
Speaker 29: is a community wide survey, so we want to hear
Speaker 29: how we're doing. And so some of the things that
Speaker 29: people can expect in this survey are we're trying to
Speaker 29: capture the opinions on the economy, on community design, utility safety,
Speaker 29: natural environment, engagement, and other elements of.
Speaker 16: Bartlezol's overall liveability.
Speaker 29: And so basically they do a sample pool and so
Speaker 29: randomly selected households will receive a mailed survey invitation.
Speaker 16: Over the next few weeks.
Speaker 29: So if you get that, we are asking all citizens
Speaker 29: that receive it to please participate because we.
Speaker 16: Want to know what you think and how you feel.
Speaker 3: And so I say multiple choice a little bit above
Speaker 3: I believe.
Speaker 16: So there's yeah, it's a very simple survey I believe
Speaker 16: to fill out. There's not.
Speaker 29: It's not a super intense survey with a lot of questions,
Speaker 29: but it is. Yeah, there are some definitely some questions
Speaker 29: in there, and we want to know how they fill
Speaker 29: And so it opens today and it's opened through April
Speaker 29: twenty eighth, So if you receive it, you have until
Speaker 29: April twenty eighth to complete it. So we do ask
Speaker 29: that you participate. If you have questions, you can give
Speaker 29: us a call. We have free city yard debris collections
Speaker 29: set for May fifth through the ninth, and so Bartlezel
Speaker 29: residents can put their bagged yard debris or bundled tree
Speaker 29: lens at their normal trash collection point on their normal
Speaker 29: trash day of that week.
Speaker 16: And so the collection is.
Speaker 29: For leaves, grass, long clippings and limbs and branches if
Speaker 29: they're cut in links of no longer than four feet
Speaker 29: and bundled, and we asked that they're not more than
Speaker 29: fifty pounds as well, and so these don't require stickers.
Speaker 29: The yard waste stickers and clear or colored bags are allowed.
Speaker 29: So that is coming up May fifth through the ninth.
Speaker 29: And you know, we last year we started doing a
Speaker 29: State of the city for our employees and so it's
Speaker 29: just kind of an update for employees to see where
Speaker 29: we're at, where we're going, and so we're we've scheduled
Speaker 29: to have that this week on March twenty seventh. So
Speaker 29: while we have this State of the City for city employees,
Speaker 29: it'll be from ten thirty to one thirty. City Hall
Speaker 29: and the public Library and the History Museum and the
Speaker 29: Operations Center will be closed during that time. So of
Speaker 29: course all fire and police, and you know, things will
Speaker 29: still run as expected, but we are closing some facilities
Speaker 29: so that our employees can attend the State of the City.
Speaker 16: And so on the golf course.
Speaker 29: So I think that if you have not subscribed to
Speaker 29: city Beat, now's the time to do it, because we
Speaker 29: have a big announcement to make. We have placed an
Speaker 29: offer with a pro and he has accepted, and so
Speaker 29: we will have a release on that and city Beat
Speaker 29: and hopefully it'll be today or tomorrow, and so if
Speaker 29: you haven't subscribed, now's the time to do that. We're
Speaker 29: very excited think he'll be an excellent fit for Adam's
Speaker 29: golf course and things that he'll he'll do excellent things
Speaker 29: out there, and so more to come on that, But
Speaker 29: I do Mike can probably I've got Mike Asiimer's here,
Speaker 29: our engineering director, and he'll be able to maybe touch
Speaker 29: base on the projects here in a little bit and
Speaker 29: talk about the golf course project. But I do want
Speaker 29: to give a shout out to our maintenance crew because
Speaker 29: while the course has been closed, they have done a
Speaker 29: tremendous amount of work out there. They've taken down approximately
Speaker 29: two hundred trees and so we did have the USGA,
Speaker 29: the United States Golf Association come out and do an evaluation.
Speaker 29: They evaluated the course and all of the trees to
Speaker 29: determine what trees should be removed versus which one should stay.
Speaker 29: And so we have followed that report and Jody Shahan
Speaker 29: and his crew have taken down a bunch of trees.
Speaker 29: We also got some private donations for our memorial fund
Speaker 29: and with these private donations were able to replace three
Speaker 29: bridges and one colvert and so the course will look
Speaker 29: brand new when it reopens. And so it's a very
Speaker 29: exciting time for Adam's Golf Course.
Speaker 16: And like I said, we've got.
Speaker 29: Some big announcements to make this week, so make sure
Speaker 29: you follow City Beat for those announcements. And so next
Speaker 29: up I went to introduce we've got a chief call
Speaker 29: with our fire department here.
Speaker 16: And he has a special guest with him today.
Speaker 29: We have a brand new deputy fire Chief, Barry Campbell,
Speaker 29: and so they're both here today and they'll be able
Speaker 29: to give an update on the wildfires and then maybe
Speaker 29: we'll get to know Deputy Chief Campbell today.
Speaker 17: Yes, good morning. So on the fourteenth, Bars and Fire Department,
Speaker 17: we were exceptionally busy on March fourteenth. We ran from
Speaker 17: one pm till about ten pm. We had approximately thirty
Speaker 17: fires that day, so most of them were started by
Speaker 17: the high winds and causing issues with power lines or
Speaker 17: down power polls that started the majority of the fires,
Speaker 17: but had anticipated it a little bit and had hired
Speaker 17: some crews back, and we actually had to hire additional
Speaker 17: cruise back because it was such a windy day and
Speaker 17: it was a little worse than what we had expected.
Speaker 17: But in total, we had six engine companies that were staffed,
Speaker 17: and then three brush trucks, so we had thirty two
Speaker 17: of our total seventy one staff on duty that day
Speaker 17: responding to fires throughout the city, and we needed every
Speaker 17: one of them at one point or another throughout the day.
Speaker 17: So we were lucky, blessed that no homes were destroyed statewide.
Speaker 17: I believe there were over four hundred homes destroyed. I
Speaker 17: thought some prayers there was still water. I think they
Speaker 17: lost over ninety six homes just in still water. So
Speaker 17: we were able to get all of our fires under
Speaker 17: control quickly, didn't lose any structures.
Speaker 3: One structure had a little.
Speaker 17: Bit of minor damage to it, but overall, it was
Speaker 17: a good response, and the firefighters did great on the
Speaker 17: response side of it, and everybody was able to get
Speaker 17: there quickly and extinguish the fires. So something the public
Speaker 17: can do to help us out would be to keep
Speaker 17: their property maintained a little bit, to keep some of
Speaker 17: the more flammable vegetation cut at least thirty feet from
Speaker 17: their homes. You know, the cedar trees here in Oklahoma
Speaker 17: are terrible with fires. So, but just try to maintain
Speaker 17: your property in a manner that's going to help us
Speaker 17: to defend it if there is a fire. So at
Speaker 17: least thirty feet from any structures, track heater, grass cut short,
Speaker 17: and vegetation farther away from the structures if at all possible.
Speaker 17: So and then to introduce mister Campbell, our new deputy
Speaker 17: fire chief. So we had a pretty extensive process that
Speaker 17: included internal and external candidates. Mister Campbell's internal candidate. He's
Speaker 17: been with the Bartiswell Fire Department since twenty sixteen and
Speaker 17: has over twelve years of experience in the fire service.
Speaker 17: He's a local, local guy from Bartiswell High School graduate
Speaker 17: class of two thousand and one, and he's served as
Speaker 17: an OSU FST Oklahoma State Fire Service Training Adjunct instructor
Speaker 17: since twenty fifteen and then also with Tri County Tech
Speaker 17: since twenty twenty one. So we're excited to have him
Speaker 17: on board.
Speaker 3: And do you have any questions for him?
Speaker 16: Well, so, Chief, you may be able to answer this one.
Speaker 16: What is the role?
Speaker 29: What is your role versus what role Barry will play
Speaker 29: for your department?
Speaker 4: Okay, So.
Speaker 17: Barry will fill in in my absence as far as
Speaker 17: anything goes, everything I do. He'll be expected to have
Speaker 17: a smaller role in all of that, just to fill
Speaker 17: in when I'm gone. And then he'll have some specialty
Speaker 17: areas that'll be over some of the station maintenance, bunker gear,
Speaker 17: some of the safety aspects of the department.
Speaker 3: They he'll be over.
Speaker 17: And then with this training background, he'll assist on the
Speaker 17: training side of things with our training officer.
Speaker 16: Right, awesome, thank you, so very welcome.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 29: So can you share us a little bit about your
Speaker 29: background and what led you into firefighting?
Speaker 30: Yeah, so I've been in I guess management roles almost
Speaker 30: my entire life. Started with Load's home improvement in high
Speaker 30: school and worked my way up to senior management. I
Speaker 30: got into the fire service kind of on a whim.
Speaker 30: I had the assistant fire chief of Dewey come knock
Speaker 30: on my door when I was living there asked me
Speaker 30: to apply. I didn't have any desire to be a
Speaker 30: firefighter at the time, and I went and volunteered, and
Speaker 30: I just got the hook, you know, I got the
Speaker 30: itch and.
Speaker 16: Say, the rest is history.
Speaker 30: The rest is history. The drives there and I'm born
Speaker 30: and raised here in Bartlesville, so I feel very blessed
Speaker 30: to be able to serve my hometown.
Speaker 3: So next thing you know, you're running into burning buildings.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, yeah, I wouldn't change it for anything.
Speaker 29: So then what's inspired you to take on this the
Speaker 29: deputy chief role here?
Speaker 30: So just my adjunct instructing and stuff and seeing different
Speaker 30: things and different visions of the future of Bartlesville. Taking
Speaker 30: so much pride in this being my hometown, in this
Speaker 30: fire department, I take a lot of things personal on
Speaker 30: the side of Bartlesville Fire. I really wanted to be
Speaker 30: there to help support the guys and support the community
Speaker 30: to do better. I knew that the training could come
Speaker 30: a long ways.
Speaker 4: And I felt that I could really help.
Speaker 30: With that and then assists in other needs. So I
Speaker 30: put my name out there to to try to be
Speaker 30: there and be that guy to help with those things.
Speaker 16: This may be a question for both of you.
Speaker 29: What goals do you guys have for the department over
Speaker 29: the next several years together as a team.
Speaker 30: Yeah, I'd like to as far as me, I would
Speaker 30: like to see some other training come in, some leadership training,
Speaker 30: some strategy, tactics training, technology, trying to bring safety to
Speaker 30: the community, to our citizens.
Speaker 9: How can we.
Speaker 30: Respond better and safer to the community, and how do
Speaker 30: we get our guys the tools and the training to
Speaker 30: be able to do that to help benefit our community.
Speaker 16: All right, well, thank you.
Speaker 29: We appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to
Speaker 29: come meet with us this morning.
Speaker 16: Did you have anything else for him, Chieaf, for anything
Speaker 16: else you wanted to add.
Speaker 17: No, We're excited to have them on board, and we
Speaker 17: see great things on the horizon for the department. We
Speaker 17: keep moving forward to ensure the safety of the citizens
Speaker 17: of barties Field.
Speaker 3: Congratulations, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 29: All right, So, next step, I've got Larry Curtis here,
Speaker 29: he's our community development director and he's going to talk
Speaker 29: to us a little bit about code enforcement and maybe
Speaker 29: the soccer fields.
Speaker 4: Good morning, everybody, So.
Speaker 22: The great segue over from Chief is that, you know, please,
Speaker 22: the big thing to talk about right now spring has sprung,
Speaker 22: and that leads us to wanting to talk about code
Speaker 22: enforcement just because what happens with spring is that we
Speaker 22: get grass growing, and with the grass growing, we need
Speaker 22: to make sure that we keep our lawns well maintained,
Speaker 22: our properties well maintained. Again, it's not just for aesthetics.
Speaker 22: It is a safety issue associated with it. As Chief stated,
Speaker 22: is that when we have dry spells like this is
Speaker 22: that it can lead to fire situations. And so not
Speaker 22: just keeping that thirty foot separation as a minimum to
Speaker 22: ensure you know, fire is safety, but also keeping sure
Speaker 22: that your entire yard is clear from that because you
Speaker 22: want to make sure that your yard is safe and
Speaker 22: your neighbor budding neighbors are going to be safe as well.
Speaker 22: So we all need to be in this together and
Speaker 22: be able to work on that together. So so not
Speaker 22: just milling, but also keep those limbs out and also
Speaker 22: keep your yards clear and good to go associate with that.
Speaker 22: So in regards to soccer fields, the yeah, so our
Speaker 22: reservation system has been in place since last summer, and
Speaker 22: so anybody who's interested in reserving a soccer field is
Speaker 22: free to do so online. Seven days notice is required
Speaker 22: for that, just to make sure that our team is
Speaker 22: able to move forward with reserving that space and getting
Speaker 22: everything associated with that. So if you like to go
Speaker 22: online to the City of Barbershool website, our beautiful new
Speaker 22: website and then click on community development and there will
Speaker 22: be a link there for parks and rec and then
Speaker 22: another link to the reservation system is that you'll reserve
Speaker 22: that way, then our team will reach out to you
Speaker 22: once we check to make sure that everything is copasetic
Speaker 22: there to pay for the reservation, depending on if you're
Speaker 22: going to be needing the lights that are available out there.
Speaker 22: I think it's ten dollars to reserve a two hour block,
Speaker 22: fifteen dollars if you're need to utilize the lights out there,
Speaker 22: and so some days notice is that is required for that.
Speaker 22: Just we are a limited team and so we need
Speaker 22: to make sure that we get everything dispersed out and
Speaker 22: able to do that. So feel free to do that
Speaker 22: and hit us up. But again, if the calendar is
Speaker 22: on our website, so if you're not needing to reserve
Speaker 22: the field, but you want to utilize it, of course,
Speaker 22: you know, that's opened to anybody and everybody to use
Speaker 22: as long as it's not reserved. So be sure to
Speaker 22: check out our calendar as well at the same link
Speaker 22: at the City of Barsville website.
Speaker 16: So what else is going on in the community development world?
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, what is.
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 22: I mean as always a lot of exciting things that
Speaker 22: are going on in our community. A lot of people
Speaker 22: see some dirt moving off of off of the Highway
Speaker 22: seventy five or Washington Boulevard and people are asking us,
Speaker 22: you know, oz a new restaurant. As much as we
Speaker 22: love new restaurants, we love new retail and services coming in.
Speaker 22: That's going to be a new tire shop that's going
Speaker 22: up there. But you know, we're always working with people
Speaker 22: that are interesting coming to Barlsvielle. It's always wonderful whenever
Speaker 22: we get phone calls coming in people asking us about,
Speaker 22: you know, potential opportunities, which they're doing their due diligence
Speaker 22: to make sure that their numbers line up. But you know,
Speaker 22: it's always exciting going on. Always when we wake up
Speaker 22: every morning, we're always facing like what's going to be today,
Speaker 22: And that's what makes our job so exciting. Is that
Speaker 22: it's always something new and fresh and interesting. You just
Speaker 22: never know. You never know, and that's what makes it great.
Speaker 22: That's the reason why I get to go up to
Speaker 22: mics off and be like, Hey, can we do X
Speaker 22: y Z?
Speaker 4: Do we have this over there? Or do we need
Speaker 4: this over there?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 22: It's always yes. We always try to get to yes
Speaker 22: as much as possible.
Speaker 29: So yeah, all right, well, thank you Larry. So next
Speaker 29: step I have Micah Seamers, our engineering director, and he's
Speaker 29: got some project updates for us.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 31: He guys always leave me too much time. I'm gonna
Speaker 31: put everybody to sleep.
Speaker 16: Now, Okay, we'll talk about the golf course.
Speaker 31: Golf course, Yeah, so that is probably our I guess
Speaker 31: I want to say most popular project right now, but
Speaker 31: as far as a citizen interest and questions, I think
Speaker 31: that's probably our top project right now for sure. And
Speaker 31: so everything's tracking well with the golf course. Uh, you
Speaker 31: talked about the fires on the fourteenth. I never would
Speaker 31: have guessed wind would be a factor for a construction project.
Speaker 31: As far as delays, we also never really thought about
Speaker 31: that or planned for it. We think about rains and
Speaker 31: snow and stuff like that. But actually the winds on
Speaker 31: the fourteenth kind of reaked some havoc out there, and
Speaker 31: so all the greens, essentially all the greens mix, everything
Speaker 31: was graded in and in place and cinsure they were
Speaker 31: doing surround work and irrigation and stuff like that getting
Speaker 31: sawed down, but the wind carried off a lot of
Speaker 31: that sand mix. So the greens mix that we plant
Speaker 31: into is twelve inches. It's a USGA greens mix, and
Speaker 31: so it is designed to be twelve inches deep. And
Speaker 31: that is important for draine of the greens and how
Speaker 31: the grass grows. And I'm not an expert in that,
Speaker 31: but my understandings that's fairly important to be right at
Speaker 31: that twelve inches. And so on a couple of the greens,
Speaker 31: we lost anywhere from an inch to two inches of
Speaker 31: that greens mix. It blew into some of the sod
Speaker 31: that was on the surrounds, blew into some of the bunkers,
Speaker 31: and some just bleue for all I know. Could be
Speaker 31: in Kansas by now, or was it a south south wind.
Speaker 31: It's probably probably in Kansas somewhere after I get some
Speaker 31: expensive greens mixing Kansas. And uh So with that being said,
Speaker 31: we are a little bit of a delay it's caused,
Speaker 31: and so we're gonna have to bring in some more
Speaker 31: greens mix and we're working that out with Jones Plan
Speaker 31: right now. Really they're hoping that insurance covers that as
Speaker 31: far as their their contractors insurance, and we think that
Speaker 31: it will, but we're they're working through that right now.
Speaker 31: They're gonna bring that in and do what they need
Speaker 31: to do to get that in place again.
Speaker 29: So it's my understanding that we were gonna originally have
Speaker 29: an April seed date, but that hasn't delayed the April
Speaker 29: seed date.
Speaker 16: It's just maybe delayed it by a few days, a.
Speaker 4: Few days potentially.
Speaker 31: Yeah, So yeah, I think we're still really on track
Speaker 31: for April first was really our target. And you know,
Speaker 31: in a construction project like this, if April versus your target,
Speaker 31: I mean, what if it's raining that week or what
Speaker 31: if it's you know.
Speaker 8: An hour.
Speaker 31: Yeah, because with this bent grass seed, it's a really
Speaker 31: fine seed and so they actually have to uh put
Speaker 31: an additive with it that keeps everything together so they
Speaker 31: can apply it. So you know, if it's windy conditions,
Speaker 31: they can't can't apply the seed's if it's too wet,
Speaker 31: they can't apply the seed, so we always knew there's
Speaker 31: gonna be you know, some wiggle room on that, but
Speaker 31: even first was the target, and they believe that assuming
Speaker 31: weather works out that week, that we still should be
Speaker 31: on track for some time that week, like April seventh
Speaker 31: time frame and end. So I think we're in good
Speaker 31: shape on that. And Jones Plan has been great to
Speaker 31: work with. It's a contract from the project and really
Speaker 31: they've done a great job of any time that they
Speaker 31: can be working that they're making really good progress. And
Speaker 31: so you know, we've dealt with snow there in February,
Speaker 31: we've dealt with some other wet conditions just cold, and
Speaker 31: they've done a really good job of making hay when
Speaker 31: they need to make hay. So it's been a good thing.
Speaker 31: But right now I think they're wrapping up putting sod
Speaker 31: around the greens.
Speaker 4: The majority.
Speaker 31: That's pretty well done, so they're working on that again.
Speaker 31: Kind of going back to the wind. So when we
Speaker 31: had that problem on the fourteenth, you know, the following
Speaker 31: week was still windy as well, and so they shifted
Speaker 31: gears and we actually didn't have started watering. I think
Speaker 31: it's about ten to fifteen minutes every hour on the greens,
Speaker 31: and we basically had the greens and going through rotation
Speaker 31: to try to keep them damp so that they wouldn't
Speaker 31: become airborne quite as bad. So yeah, again, just things
Speaker 31: I never would have thought that we'd be dealing with. Right,
Speaker 31: dust control on projects happens, but you never really think
Speaker 31: about it as far as losing and materially.
Speaker 4: Just paid for it's place.
Speaker 31: But no, project's going well. Again, I think we're pretty
Speaker 31: close on that seed date. It's can be good and
Speaker 31: then we'll get things growing, and we've got to grow
Speaker 31: in consultant who's on the hook to to help Jody
Speaker 31: out there and his crew with They've got a whole
Speaker 31: list of things that they're supposed to be doing to
Speaker 31: to get the best.
Speaker 4: Results possible out of this bent grass.
Speaker 31: And I feel really really confident about confident about that program.
Speaker 31: So we're looking forward to new greens this summer.
Speaker 32: So also about that project, you know, we'd discussed the
Speaker 32: reopening date and the likelihood of the greens being ready
Speaker 32: as we were talking through this with the consultants.
Speaker 29: They probably will not be ready for play until August
Speaker 29: or September, is what we're hearing. Yeah, and so it's
Speaker 29: still there's still a lot up in the air on
Speaker 29: the temporary greens as well. On the biggest thing is
Speaker 29: we want to make sure that it's safe for people
Speaker 29: to be out on the course, and right now it's
Speaker 29: the construction site. And so with our contract with Jones Plan,
Speaker 29: they have until May second to clear everything out and
Speaker 29: finish up.
Speaker 31: And basically, yeah, we gave them thirty days, really thirty
Speaker 31: days after the seeds. So you know, again if we're
Speaker 31: looking at April first date, we went to May second.
Speaker 31: You know, if that's delayed a week, we may shift
Speaker 31: that a week, but yeah, you're talking in early May, so.
Speaker 29: It would we wouldn't be able to have temporary greens
Speaker 29: until after data.
Speaker 31: And that was part of the way we bid the project.
Speaker 31: You know, we could have tried to coordinate leaving the
Speaker 31: course open for some sort of play throughout the duration
Speaker 31: of the project, but it would have probably increased the cost,
Speaker 31: it would have made it more difficult on the contractor.
Speaker 31: So we just gave them free range of the course.
Speaker 31: That really has helped us make these dates with some
Speaker 31: poor weather conditions and whatnot. And so really the intent
Speaker 31: was to give them the free rein of the course
Speaker 31: while they're there working, and so we'd like to stick
Speaker 31: with that as far as when we open things up.
Speaker 29: So we've got to be we've got to have our
Speaker 29: staff up and be ready to too, and so that's
Speaker 29: another factor.
Speaker 16: But we're getting very close.
Speaker 31: To Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of moving
Speaker 31: parts on this project. It really was a coordinated effort
Speaker 31: and lots going on with Jerry retiring and and uh
Speaker 31: and then trying to get a new pro in there
Speaker 31: and the city taking over, you know, a little bit
Speaker 31: more control of the shop and whatnot.
Speaker 4: So a lot of the.
Speaker 31: Moving parts and I know it's going to get there
Speaker 31: and it'll be great when it's done, and just ask
Speaker 31: for people to be patient. I know the warmer weather
Speaker 31: people are ready to play golf, but just be patient
Speaker 31: with us.
Speaker 4: And this was always part of the plan.
Speaker 31: We we always plan on the greens, the actual greens
Speaker 31: themselves not being ready to let August September time frame,
Speaker 31: and so nothing really has changed there. It's just confirmation
Speaker 31: from the consultant and talking with them if we hit
Speaker 31: that seed date when they think we can open those
Speaker 31: greens up.
Speaker 4: So good time. It's been a fun one for sure.
Speaker 31: So so as far as other projects, we do have
Speaker 31: our park parking lot projects still ongoing, and on Stone Park,
Speaker 31: we've wrapped up the pavement at Sooner Park, Lions.
Speaker 4: Park and Joe Low Park.
Speaker 31: We've really finished most of the paving there in Johnstone
Speaker 31: Park as well. Really all it's left on that project
Speaker 31: is to do some sidewalk work there along around the
Speaker 31: Nelly Johnstone. So we've got a this is called the
Speaker 31: viewing Area of the Nellie Johnstone. When it's operational, we're
Speaker 31: gonna have some sidewalk there, some parking, and we have
Speaker 31: a State of Oklahoma shaped concrete area there for people
Speaker 31: to stand on. It's gonna be pretty neat, I think
Speaker 31: when it's all said and done. And so we're working
Speaker 31: on that work this week. I think they're getting that formed.
Speaker 31: I think they started forming that concrete work up last
Speaker 31: week and they should hopefully for this week, should good
Speaker 31: weather conditions this week to do that. And then other
Speaker 31: than that it really is cleaned up and some signage
Speaker 31: that project will be wrapped up here pretty soon. The
Speaker 31: park is still closed while they are finishing up that work.
Speaker 31: I think that somebody was using one of the shelters
Speaker 31: there this weekend and we open it up for that.
Speaker 4: But just as a.
Speaker 31: General rule, I think they've got that closed down. Still
Speaker 31: hopefully get that opened up here in the next week
Speaker 31: or so. But that's been a good project. We've got
Speaker 31: our Tuxedo Bridge projects still ongoing. We're looking at a
Speaker 31: July and August completion on that most likely. We did
Speaker 31: have a few delays on some structural steel, so we
Speaker 31: did plan for some amount of structural steel to be
Speaker 31: replaced on this on that bridge. You know, you can't
Speaker 31: see it all when it's in its current condition, and
Speaker 31: so once you tear things out, you always tho there's
Speaker 31: gonna be something that's that needs some work, and so
Speaker 31: we had a certain amount of that factored in. There
Speaker 31: are some delays on getting it ordered though, some lead
Speaker 31: time issues. That's delayed us about six weeks we think,
Speaker 31: and so they're originally planning on being done in June timeframe,
Speaker 31: so we're looking at the July August get that wrapped
Speaker 31: up and then.
Speaker 4: But it's going well.
Speaker 31: So right now they're prepping for the deck replacement, so
Speaker 31: we're getting all the substructure in there. Will start time
Speaker 31: steel here before too long and they've made those structural
Speaker 31: steel modifications and we'll get that one going. It should
Speaker 31: be a pretty answering project as well. I don't think
Speaker 31: i've really heard a whole lot of complaints on that.
Speaker 31: I think we've gotten less complay since the construction has started,
Speaker 31: just shifting all traffic to the eastbound bridge then when
Speaker 31: we had it before where we had one lane on
Speaker 31: the westbound, which is interesting. But we've gotten really not
Speaker 31: a whole lot of complaints or issues with it with
Speaker 31: the current traffic control. So that's a good thing. Wildcat
Speaker 31: Constructions a contractor and that to doing a good job.
Speaker 31: We're hoping we've got another project, the Sunset Bridge, similar
Speaker 31: type deal. We just did another patch on that bridge
Speaker 31: deck and we we're holding off on bidding that to
Speaker 31: try to time that a little bit with a Tuxedo bridge,
Speaker 31: so we hopefully get some good bid prices from the
Speaker 31: current contractor up here Wildcat, and hopefully get an interest
Speaker 31: from other contractors as well. But we are trying to
Speaker 31: time that to where it works with the contractor already
Speaker 31: on site and hopefully get some savings on mobilization costs
Speaker 31: and things of that nature. So we're looking to do
Speaker 31: that here before too long. We're working on getting some
Speaker 31: ride away on the Sunset Bridge. There's a pedestrian bridge
Speaker 31: component of that that really connects Oak Park to There's
Speaker 31: a bike trail currently along Sunset and it never really
Speaker 31: was a good bike lane across the bridge itself, and
Speaker 31: so we've got some additional funding to do a pedestrian
Speaker 31: bridge adjacent to it, and because of that, we had
Speaker 31: to get some additional ride away. So we're getting that
Speaker 31: all worked out and time to hopefully bid that here
Speaker 31: in the next month or two. And got all kinds
Speaker 31: of other projects out there. I've been given the flash
Speaker 31: and I got two minutes left. I think I've been talking.
Speaker 31: Oh three, I got three Okay, I got all kinds
Speaker 31: of time. Then we did just award too large road
Speaker 31: projects for us on the third. On March third, Council
Speaker 31: awarded contracts to KSL Dirt Works for both of them
Speaker 31: actually for reconstructing Madison from Tuxedo about a half mile
Speaker 31: north to the water tower there. This is a cooperative
Speaker 31: effort with the Delaware Tribe. They're making some improvements on
Speaker 31: their property and would have required platting, and as part
Speaker 31: of that process that are required to improve the west
Speaker 31: half of the road. They're half the road and so
Speaker 31: they have identified funding and we've entered an agreement with
Speaker 31: them to provide up to a certain amount to cover that. Unfortunately,
Speaker 31: the bids came in and it was under budget and
Speaker 31: so it'll be work within their budget and ours and
Speaker 31: that's a good thing. Glad to see that. So we
Speaker 31: anticipate that potentially going to construction maybe in May. We
Speaker 31: haven't had a pre construction meeting yet with the contract.
Speaker 31: We're waiting on getting contracts and bonds back, but we
Speaker 31: anticipate that here in the next couple of months getting
Speaker 31: fired up. So we've also got Yale reconstruction again. KSL
Speaker 31: got that one as well. Maybe we've awarded that on
Speaker 31: March third, and this will be a reconstruction of Yale
Speaker 31: Drive from Abbams Boulevard to Frank Phillips and there's a
Speaker 31: small section of Yale Place that's included that as well.
Speaker 31: It's a concrete street. Now we're gonna cut out the
Speaker 31: concrete salvage of the curbs and go back with an
Speaker 31: asphalt pavement section.
Speaker 4: And so we're looking forward to that and getting.
Speaker 31: Kicked out hearing that Maijene timeframe as well, So again
Speaker 31: waiting on contracts and bonds on that one also, But
Speaker 31: as soon as we get that in we'll get a
Speaker 31: pre construction date and get some dates finalized and go
Speaker 31: from there. So we'll have a lot of things torn
Speaker 31: up this summer, but you gotta things got to get
Speaker 31: worse for to get better, I think so.
Speaker 4: But we'll be working on it.
Speaker 3: Very good, very good. But i'd tell you, Mickey, you
Speaker 3: know a lot of.
Speaker 29: Words, and you know his his notes are very minimal here,
Speaker 29: it's all up here, and so I'm always amazed by that.
Speaker 4: I don't know what I am.
Speaker 3: Smart words at times, we all said the guy with
Speaker 3: a few FCC fines. But anyway, Laura, what else do
Speaker 3: we have on the agenda?
Speaker 29: So we do have a a council workshop this evening
Speaker 29: at five point thirty. It'll be in the first floor
Speaker 29: conference room of City Hall. And so tonight we are
Speaker 29: working on strategic planning and so we currently have a
Speaker 29: strategic plan in place and so it's time to update
Speaker 29: it and kind of it's just an informal workshop with
Speaker 29: the council. That's why we have it in the conference room.
Speaker 29: That way, that they can set around the table and
Speaker 29: discuss and we actually have a facilitator coming in to
Speaker 29: help us work through that process.
Speaker 16: And so that is open to the public.
Speaker 29: If there's there's limited seating in the first floor conference room,
Speaker 29: and so I think Chief Call will be there, probably
Speaker 29: kicking people out if there's.
Speaker 16: Too many people in there.
Speaker 29: But we have an overflow room that's the council chambers,
Speaker 29: and so we typically do these workshops in the first
Speaker 29: floor conference room because there's no action to be taken,
Speaker 29: and like I said, it's more informal and it gives
Speaker 29: the council an opportunity to sit down and chat and discuss.
Speaker 3: So very good. It seems like we just had one.
Speaker 3: It's kind of it's in layers, right, That's how we're
Speaker 3: working this, in layers, in layers.
Speaker 29: Yeah, there's so many council meetings right now because we've got,
Speaker 29: you know, our regular scheduled council meetings, then we've got
Speaker 29: our workshops, and then sometimes we've got special meetings. So
Speaker 29: it just feels like a lot of council meetings. But
Speaker 29: it's just we're getting through these hot topics and so
Speaker 29: it'll I think it'll settle down or level out to
Speaker 29: where it's a normal amount of number of council meetings,
Speaker 29: but right now it's we're working through some things and.
Speaker 3: That's kind of how some hot topics. Yeah, very good.
