ALAN AUSTIN TO A LOCATION WHICH WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
AND ALSO A WELCOME TO UBER LET'S PRAY, FATHER, WE THANK YOU TONIGHT FOR THE PRIVILEGE.
WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE BUSINESS OF THIS CITY.
AND WE THANK YOU FOR THESE MEN WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR TIME AND THEIR ENERGY.
AND I PRAY THAT YOU WILL GIVE THEM WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, BUT WE THANK YOU FOR THE WAY THAT YOU HAVE BLESSED THIS TOWN AND GOT I PRAY THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO LORD, IN EVERY AREA THAT THEY WILL DEAL WITH EVEN TONIGHT, LORD, I PRAY THAT YOU WILL GIVE YOUR SPECIAL BLESSING.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT THEY DO.
AND I PRAY THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS DONE WE'LL HONOR YOU.
THE MAYOR WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS HIS BUSINESS.
IF HE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA FROM THE CITY ENGINEER, GOOD EVENING BOARD, THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT TREE DUE TO A TOTAL OF 125 MILLION GALLONS OF WASTEWATER DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH, THE AVERAGE DAILY CLOSE 4.4 0.1 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.
AND, UH, I THINK THERE'S A TYPO HERE ON THE MAXIMUM, AND IT'S ALSO STATED AS 4.1.
I THINK THAT'S AN ERROR BECAUSE WE RECORDED 7.17 INCHES OF RAIN AT THE PLANT.
UM, THE PLANT IS UNDER AN SOC AND THEY ARE MEETING THE CRITERIA OF THE SOC AND ARE WITHIN THE LIMITS.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PLANT IS APPROXIMATELY A 50% COMPLETE ON THE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT UNITS, THE, UM, FILTER, UH, THERE'S GOING TO BE A FILTER THAT THE WASTEWATER WILL TRAVEL THROUGH BEFORE IT IS DISCHARGED TO THE RIVER.
UM, THE FOUNDATION ON THAT HAS BEEN DUG AND THEY'RE READY TO START POURING CONCRETE THERE.
UH, SLOW STABILIZATION BUILDING HAS FINALLY GOTTEN THE PAD POURED.
MOST OF THE FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IS POURED.
AND, UH, THEY'RE BEGINNING TO GET PARTS FOR THAT BUILDING.
UM, A LOT OF WORK GOING ON AT THE WASTE TREATMENT PLAN.
IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE IT BY THERE AND HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE CONSTRUCTION, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT JUST TO BE SURE YOU CHECK IN AT ONE OF THE CONSTRUCTION TRAILERS TO GET A HARD HAT AND LET THE PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU ARE THERE, BUT IT'S QUITE MASSIVE AND QUITE IMPRESSIVE.
AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO BY AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT THE, A QUARRY PROJECT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, UH, NEWBURN RECLAMATION, PROJECT, WATER RECLAMATION PROJECT.
UH, THERE REALLY IS NO CHANGE FROM LAST MONTH, UH, STATUS THE, UH, GARDEN STREET CBDG PROJECT, UM, WHICH ACTUALLY ENTAILS FOUR PROJECTS, UM, LAYING OF THE PIPE IS COMPLETE.
UH, WE'VE STARTED PAVING, UM, IN SEVERAL AREAS.
UH, THE GARDEN STREET PROJECT WILL BE THE LAST TO GET PAVED.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL DO THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK OR A LITTLE LATER THAN THAT.
IT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE DAYS PAVED THAT WHOLE AREA OVER THERE.
UM, I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY YES, MA'AM, I'M BASED ON THEIR PROGRESS.
UM, I BELIEVE IT WAS LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING AT, UH, GLEN BURNIE ROAD AND THEY'VE PAVED EVERY DAY.
UM, THEY HAVE GONE OVER TO NORTH SECOND AVENUE AND, UM, WE'LL MOVE FROM THERE TO THE, UM, GARDEN STREET PROJECTS.
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO INSTALL SOME, UH, ADDITIONAL PARKING, UM, THAT WAS REQUESTED THERE.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO, UM, MOVE TO THE GARDEN STREET PROJECT.
BUT ACTUALLY IT WAS AN ADDITION, UM, A CHANGE ORDER THAT, UM, I ASKED THE MANAGER, IF I COULD DO THAT, WE, UM, HAD A SEWER BLOCKAGE IN THAT AREA AND COULD NOT GET OUR SEWER JET TRUCK NEW, OUR CAMERA PAST A PLACE THAT HAD COLLAPSED.
[00:05:01]
UM, SO I ASKED IF I COULD DO AN EXTRA, AN EXTRA 270 FEET UNDER THE CONTRACT AND HE LET ME DO THAT.THAT'S GOING TO COST ABOUT AN EXTRA $18,000 TO DO THAT PORTION, BUT, UH, WE DID THAT AS A CHANGE ORDER.
I WAS OUT OF TOWN THIS MORNING.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
WHERE WAS THIS AT? UH, UM, I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS THAT MAY, THERE'S A, THERE'S A LIFT STATION LOCATED RIGHT THERE IN A CHICK-FIL-A PARKING LOT.
UM, WE MAY HAVE BEEN PULLING HAUNTS AS A NORMAL MAINTENANCE ITEM TO JUST CHECK THE VOLUTES, MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO TRASH IN THEM.
UH DE-GREASING THE STATION COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING HONESTLY, BUT OKAY.
I'M SURE THE CRANE WAS LIFTING A PUMP OUT OF SOME SORT.
EVERYTHING I WILL FIND OUT AND REPORT BACK TO YOU APPRECIATE.
I HAVE IT LISTED IN THE NEWSPAPER.
THE CITIES SHOULDN'T REALLY BE TAKING ON CUSTOMERS, ET CETERA.
AND OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE HAVE NOT READ PUBLICLY AWARE THAT WE'RE OPERATING ON THE PATH NOW, AS WE MOVE INTO THAT AND ARE HAVING SOME PROBLEMS NOW, ALL THE JOBS
SO IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE MISLEADING AND WATCHING THE NEWS
NOW WE'RE COMMENTING ON THE FACT THAT THEY'RE NOW REQUESTING THAT THE PATIENT RATE TO A HIGHER CLASSIFICATION, MEANING THAT THEY NOT FOR THE SPEED ON IT.
I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THAT APPLICATION CLASSIFICATION IT'S A VERY GOOD SIGN.
I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS, BUT TO ADDRESS HOW THEY'VE CHANGED IT.
UM, I'M NOT VERSED ENOUGH AT THIS POINT IN TIME TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU, BUT I'LL CHECK INTO THAT AND GET WITH YOU AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.
IT'LL PROBABLY BE IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
AND IF YOU TAKE IT HIGHER SO THAT YOU COULD SWIM IN IT, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S ACTUALLY LOWERING THE REQUIREMENTS ARE ACTUALLY RAISING THEIR REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS NUTRIENTS.
AND WHAT CAN GO IN THE RIVER IS CONCERNED.
THE NEWS, THAT ALPHABETICAL CLASSIFICATION RES ALPHABET
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
HERE'S THE LADY COULD PROBABLY TELL US ABOUT BEFORE HAZARD MITIGATION, GOOD EVENING, AND PUT A, UH, A COPY OF MY NOTES, PROVIDED IT FOR HIV.
I HAVE 17 ELEVATIONS THAT ARE COMPLETE AND REOCCUPIED, UH, WE HAVE THE TWO
[00:10:01]
ELEVATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.IF YOU REMEMBER, WE COMMENTED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT LAST MONTH.
UM, THOSE TWO, AND WE'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF DIFFICULTY WITH HAVE NOW BEEN RESTARTED, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN PROCEED WITH THOSE UNITS ON COMPLETION.
AND WE'VE HAD SOME DESIGN CHANGES.
WE'VE HAD SOME, SOME OTHER THINGS AND THE PROBLEMS I THINK ARE WORKED OUT SO WE CAN GO FORWARD, UH, ELEVATIONS.
UH, WE HAVE FOUR THAT ARE READY TO PROCEED.
UH, THERE WERE TWO OTHERS THAT WE NEED TO REWARD OR REBID.
WE'LL PROBABLY, UM, WE'LL POSSIBLY REBID THOSE.
WE HAVE ONE MAN THAT HAD WANTED TO GO TO ACQUISITION, WHO NOW WANTS TO GO BACK TO RE ELEVATION.
UM, BUT FEMA HAS TO APPROVE THAT.
SO WE'RE WAITING FOR THE APPROVAL ON THAT ONE, AND THAT WILL BE READY TO GO.
UH, ONE UNIT IS GETTING REHABILITATION IN THE LOWER LIVING SPACE HERE.
UM, THERE ARE THREE UNITS WE WANT TO REBID A BIT INITIALLY BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2000, WE'RE HOPING TO GET BIDS ON THE MAJORITY OF THOSE DURING THE MONTH OF MAY.
UM, SO WE CAN PROCEED ON THOSE.
AND THEN YOU SEE THE ACQUISITIONS THERE.
WE HAVE SIX THAT ARE COMPLETE THREE, THAT THE FOLKS ARE ANXIOUS, ANXIOUSLY AWAITING PERMISSION FROM FEMA TO PROCEED WITH THEIR ACQUISITIONS.
AND THEY'RE TWO THAT THE OWNERS STILL NEED TO MAKE SOME DECISION ON HOW TO PROCEED.
BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
WELL, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH PROBABLY A SLOW DOWN TRYING TO DEAL WITH A NUMBER OF SITUATIONS AND PROBABLY FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS OR SO.
UM, SO WE REALLY HAVEN'T MADE THE PROGRESS IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS AND WE WANTED TO, UH, BUT I THINK IN THE LAST 30 DAYS WE'VE GOTTEN THOSE THINGS, WORKED OUT TO WHERE WE CAN PROCEED IN BEFORE YOU'VE DONE THIS, WOULD THAT, DOES THAT COMPLETE THE NUMBER FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM? THE 41 IS WHAT WE HAD ROUGHLY ESTIMATED DEPENDING ON A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO WITH OUR INITIAL FUNDING.
WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE'LL BE ABLE TO PURSUE ANY OTHER MONEY AND WE HAVE SOME INDICATIONS POSSIBLY WE CAN.
UM, BUT WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE FIRST 41 HIGHEST PRIORITY.
THERE WERE, UM, A TOTAL OF 59.
NOW A NUMBER OF THOSE HAVE BEEN VACANT AND A NUMBER OF OTHER CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED.
AND YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT LOOKING AT A REAL 59.
YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT MORE LIKE 53, 54.
UH, IF YOU WANTED TO REALLY LOOK AT EFFECT AND ITEM NUMBER FIVE, THE LITTER CRITTER IS HERE.
THE BOARD, UM, THE LITTER REPORT FOR THIS MONTH, WE'VE HAD, UH, 16 TOTAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE MONTH.
THAT INCLUDES FIVE CITATIONS AND 11 WARNINGS, INCLUDING ONE I GAVE THE OTHER DAY TO A VERY SURPRISED PERSON.
WE WERE, THE LIGHT WAS JUST CHANGING GREEN AND SHE THREW A CIGARETTE OUT THE WINDOW OF ARREST UV, AND I RAN UP AND PICKED IT UP, GAVE IT BACK TO HER AND SAID, HERE, I JUST SAVED YOU $50.
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE KNEW WHO I WAS, WHAT YOU SAID ALL HAPPENED ABOUT THAT QUICKLY.
SO SHE WAS A BIT SURPRISED, GRATEFUL, I THINK, BUT SURPRISED NONETHELESS, AND JUST A LITTLE ANECDOTAL INFORMATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LITTER, BUT WE DID WRITE FIVE, UH, NOISE ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS, UH, DURING THE PAST 30 DAYS.
SO JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT.
AND I'M READY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE ANECDOTE, A LITTLE NOTE HERE THAT THEY WROTE FOR ME THAT WE DID WRITE FIVE NORTH NOISE ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS.
IF YOU WANT, IF YOU WANT THE LOCATION SO I CAN GET THAT FOR YOU.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT ISSUE IS ANOTHER AREA THAT PEOPLE HAVE CALLED US ABOUT, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT AS WELL.
WE'VE ASSIGNED IT TO DESIGN TEAMS TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THOSE PROBLEMS, ANY QUESTIONS I APPRECIATE THAT.
THEN WE ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO BE CALM AND KEEP THE, KEEP THE VOLUME DOWN.
I MEAN, I APPRECIATE THE MUSIC, BUT I LIKE MY OWN MUSIC NECESSARILY WANT TO LISTEN TO YOURS FROM 200 FEET AWAY.
SO I LIKE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC ACTUALLY.
[00:15:01]
HOW IS THE ACCREDITATION? IT'S ACTUALLY GOING VERY WELL.IT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE OF BUDGET THIS YEAR, WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN PROCEED, BUT EVEN IF, IF IT'S NOT AVAILABLE TO US IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR, WE HAVE, UH, WE'RE ON A 36 MONTHS CYCLE.
FROM THE TIME WE FIRST APPLIED, UH, TILL THE TIME WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ONSITE IS THEY GIVE YOU 36 MONTHS TO DO THAT.
SO IF WE DO HAVE TO BE DELAYED, WHICH WE RATHER NOT, OF COURSE, BUT IF WE DO HAVE TO BE DELAYED, IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
AND WE COULD STILL MEET THE 36 MONTH DEADLINE WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTY.
IF WE HAD TO DELAY IT SIX MONTHS OR NINE MONTHS, WE COULD DO THAT.
WE HAVE A TIMETABLE AND ALL OF THAT, AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS AND IT'S VERY SATISFYING.
ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE REMAINING
ON YOUR DESK, IN FRONT OF YOU, WE HAVE A SHEET WHICH IDENTIFIES A NEW NOMINEE FOR THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
UH, MR. DENNIS WOC BOWL, UH, CURRENTLY IS ON SPENCER AVENUE IS THE MANAGER OF SUPPORT HOUSING PROGRAMS AT NEW CENTER.
