we've got no items on consent agenda uh we have two resolutions Mr cob do we wish to change the order of them or not that's fine with me chairman if you wish to change the order we can do that okay I'd like to handle the second resolution
listed here first because that way the the uh budget adjustments appended to both of them are accurate uh because the first one has to occur the second one has to occur first so what we've got in front of us is resolution number
16225 amending the fiscal year 2024 2025 budget is there a staff uh presentation uh yes thank you Mr chairman if you recall back in November we did a uh we did a budget amendment to Candle the carry forward items that were came over
from this year 23 24 into 2025 shortly after that we received our interest income for August and September and basically what this uh that's what this amendment does it does two things one it recognizes the interest income uh for
August and September and brings that into the budget that been placed in the um uh other other projects and actually Annie if you could pull up I believe we have that uh that one budget amendment and then there's also a second thing
that we highlighted it there the 40,000 that is the interest income that we received so we put put it into uh use of fund balance and then as far as expenses we put it into appropriated other capital projects and that's of course Franklin Street uh there's also a uh minor there's a movement within an
account and that is the Wood Street project there is no change in the budget it's just movement of uh 2800 $2,300 from the construction account to the design account and it doesn't change anything other than just moving it within the within the project and so uh
it's recommended that the uh the CRA board uh adopt resolution number 16225 are there any questions for the staff from anyone okay hearing none uh what's the pleasure of the board I'll make a motion to approve uh resolution number
16225 second there's a motion and a second I'll call the vote all those in favor say I I I okay motion passes next item we have is resolution number
6125 intergovernmental inter agency agreement between ovido community redevelopment agency and city of Ovito for Award of the Ovito Connector Road Project invitation to bid 2512 Mr CB uh thank you Mr chairman actually
we've got a couple things for you tonight on this project um one is the adoption is the approval of the interlocal in agency agreement with the city of Vito uh if you recall we've done two prior agreements uh for this project the first first agreement that
was done was for the uh preliminary uh the project preliminary project reports where we got an idea of the route of the project and we also got some uh estimated cost uh for the project and then we did an agreement for the design
of the project and we uh but the design agreement uh did not include the construction so in order for us to move forward with the construction the city has gone through a bid process we're getting ready to award the bid but
for us to be able to go through that to advance further into the construction process we need to do the interlocal agreement between the CRA and the in the in the city to um to facilitate construction of the connector Road uh there's three components to the
Connector Road uh there's the the road itself that stretches from 434 to Geneva Drive there's also lift station 7 which is in the current path of the roadway so we're going to be replacing that but we're putting in a larger uh lift station with more capacity and then the
SEC third thing is the uh pedestrian bridge that will connect the Connector Road over to sler park the when we did the bid process uh for for the for the project the bids came in higher than the budget for
that's in the CRA for the Connector Road uh staff did some when staff started looking at it we discovered that have funding in the city's uh what's known as the uh sewer impact fee account and it's uh it is the account that Wastewater
Capital recovery charges are paid into because the lift station is an expansion of capacity it's a bigger lift station it qualif if for funding through uh through Wastewater Capital recovery charges so what we're recommending that the CRA do is
to will take the take that project out of the CRA fund and move it over to the Sewer impact fee fund and then take the monies that were allocated to that project and reallocate them into the roadway project as well as the
pedestrian bridge and uh Annie could we um put pull up the budget impact tables the the other one good Lord no the budget impact the
the the one that says budget impact on it yeah that table that's it yeah and what this shows it shows the how the allocation of the funding as far as the CRA fund as well as the uh the impact fee fund and with the funding of Geneva Drive the Connector Road with CRA funds
funding of the solar Park Bridge with the CRA funds and then the funding of the lift station with the uh with the CRA I mean with the sewer impact Fe and the the table on which attachment is this is is this an attachment trying to
find it's in the memo it's actually in the staff in it's in the budget section of the staff report yes ma'am I can't see that very well the uh what the table below it is it shows how the reallocation works now when we went
through the reallocation of the $840,000 to the Connector Road as well as to the pedestrian bridge there was still about $5,784 left over that we needed to uh that we still we were short so there's a
budget amendment that's associated with this what the budget amendment does is that and that and you can pull up the budget amendment now uh the budget amendment reallocates the money from the lift station project to the road and the bridge and then it also reallocates the
50 uh the 54 the $55,000 from the uh from the other projects Franklin Street uh to to the to this project as well and so that's what that does the the inter local agreement
itself the C basically the city and the CRA recognize that they are independent agencies but they are also codependent uh codependent agencies the CRA understands that the city will go through its normal procurement processes and construction management processes
and will manage the project for the CRA the C will fund the uh the roadway project and the pedestrian bridge project and then we'll fund the lift station project using the capital Rec covery charges and um it is recommended
that the CRA board adopt resolution number 162 16125 okay I I'd like to entertain a motion after the motion before the vote I'll ask if there's any questions from the members or any discussion so uh
looking for the pleasure of the board as to a motion at this point I'll make a motion to approve resolution number 61-25 second okay there's a motion and a second now for discussion I'd like to an order starting with councilman Britain I'm good thank you councilman bford I'm
good I have nothing to add councilman a yeah can you talk a little bit about the Wastewater Capital recovery charges in the sewer impact fee fund just kind of a I mean I have a pretty good idea what
that is but okay maybe I maybe I missed something there all right he a little bit about it capital recovery charges are what developers pay to secure capacity in the city sewer system so it's like an impact fee but it's called a capital recovery charge and so it's
based on the amount of sewer flow that they will generate and so it's to create capacity and it's to so that these charges are for us to go and to do capacity enhancement projects is what they're for and so we have money in that fund that can be used to pay to pay for
the sewer lift station and the sewer lift station has to be relocated but we also need a bigger sewer lift station the sewer lift station that there that's there now uh we're thinking down the road in the future and so the sewer Li station that's now cannot accommodate the growth that it's going to be coming
to it so we're upsizing the sewer Li station which expanding its capacity and since it's part of the sewer system we're expanding the the capacity of the system and it um therefore it's eligible for we can use those Capital recovery
charges to fund that part of the project and but yes that's what they are they're basically an impact fee that developers pay to secure their capacity within within the sewer system anything more councilman up uh no I don't think so
mayor just and and so we can fully uh fund this through the Wastewater Capital as far as the lift station part yes as far as the lift station part yes sir yeah yeah yes great okay mayor uh so I had actually asked almost the exact same question by email and the answer
back did not fully explain who is paying this so right now you said that it is an impact fee but an email you said that existing users also pay it I'm trying to understand better existing users who expand so like if existing users if they
expand their if they let's say we had expand only okay so nobody who's already in the system would be impacted by whatever money is going to be coming out of the 409 fund like this is not going to cause anybody's rates to be raised no okay just wanted to to make sure that
we're on the same board there one follow-up question uh for Mr Hall I guess is either maybe it's all because it has to be moved the whole thing counts as new and then can come from the capital Recovery Fund or is it just the
expansion that can come from the capital Recovery Fund and the re the moving it part like the I feel like it's two separate things happening there's moving the existing capacity which should not in my purest understanding of how the
statute Works qualify for 409 then there's the additional capacity which would qualify but either way we got to move it so I I don't know where that lands well it's hard to distinguish too because I mean you you've got to plan for future growth so you have to expand
capacity and so forth and you can't just kind of wait till it happens you have to plan ahead so you the fun the money is there to basically plan ahead move ahead get ready and so forth because you have to fund those as you do them even even though you may not have people come on
at the same time well I guess what I'm looking for from you is confirmation that this does not violate any statutes because because of the the moving part can the whole the whole thing you believe truly can be I'm not articulating this well at all do we
comply with stat I think Mr Wyatt understands what's happening in my brain here I think I can help here okay thank so moving the lift station if this was any lift station you'd have to move it if you were building a bigger one you couldn't build it on the same side build it right so the construction moving it
is part the construction so it's it's so because it'ser you can't we can't like use what's already there and then add on to it so it has to be it's in the way of the road okay so well not because of that but if it could stay there and not be re relocated or it would if we could
do it in the exact same place it would have to have a whole new piece of equipment anyway so the so that piece of equipment undeniably if if this is how it works would go under 409 and qualify correct so the only thing I'm wondering is can the moving of the pipe to get it
to the new location also be covered under 409 unambiguously because I I I am concerned that the moving of the pipe cannot be covered but the equipment the new equipment because we can't add on to the existing equipment I think the new
equipment qualifies and I'm not sure that I don't know how far we have to move the pipe it's just it's just to the other side of the road so what 100t Paul and there's some 200 ft I think 200 ft it's just it's across the width of the road okay but there's a cost associated with that and
there's a separate cost associated with the new whatever it is the lift station right so but in my mind from experience this is all part of the same project it's all the you think it's all the same and that nobody's going to split legal hairs on
us okay if everybody's no I believe that is it correct I mean it's and I think your analysis is correct it's a new pipe it's not just it is a but it's a new you can't use for regular maintenance but we could use the old pipe and go to the new piece of equipment but because we're
doing I think what I'm I'm hoping to do here is ask for an amendment which may or may not work I'm looking at these numbers and and say can we parse this into two pieces and have part covered by the CRA and part covered by 409 and I'm not sure who this question's for out of out of what was what was your
first other funding source oh CRA the CRA part of it to stay the re the location of the pipe seems like it ought to stay with the CRA and then the new piece of equipment can go to 409 I believe the gravity sewer is part of the roadway is in the CRA so some of it is already already is in there is the
moving of the pipe in the just a lift station so only the but that says lift station station relocation so the lift station itself can stay in 409 but the relocation the moving of the pipe to get to the place where it pops out and you have or wherever how if it pops out
actually I believe the pipe that's conveying Wastewater to the new lift station isn't is CRA funded but it's not like what we're proposing now is it will stop being C funded it will be instead funded by 409 just the lift station but the
pipe the pipe is in the Connector Road plans so the pipe is already going to be there the pipe is already being paid for Mr Wyatt yeah the PIP just like storm water pipe in okay so the pipe was going to be put there water and all that that's already in the CRA portion this is just the lift station okay because
the lift station itself is being upsized for fut so I I I guess my my beef then is with calling it lift station 7 relocation because it is an installation of a new lift station based on pipes that are already going in that are being paid for with the c I'm good thank you
okay anything else mayor no thank okay so let's uh Vice chairman tuer I think I'm good now yeah okay member Slattery having never built a road before in my life I cannot believe this
road cost $4.8 million it's not even a mile you know when we first started it was a couple million dollars and now it's just mushroomed into this massive that explains a little bit as to why it's so expensive because we're paying
for some of this uh lift station movement but I'm just shocked at how much this thing cost and additionally a $41,000 ped pedestrian bridge wow we first started it was maybe 150 do we
have any renderings what are we building this out of gold or something what what what are we building this thing out [Music] of it's the same construction materials that are in Solari Park it'll be a matching Bridge it'll connect uh
directly into the um the walkway that's on the western side of the park but that's like the cost of a whole house wood with metal rails I know for this this is this is this is what we deal with on a daily basis now this is
inflation wow it's like hitting a moving Target it's yeah so we bid this out and that's the cheapest we can build this thing is $400,000 which is what it's maybe 10 ft long 20 ft long 30t you hand that one
yeah it's not it's not it's not much bigger doesn't help I know 30 just just to clarify I mean it's the bridge plus there's additional decking U that you have to build on the roadside plus there's additional Landscaping there's pavers so it's not
just the bridge there's a there's a park element associated with the bridge so I agree $400,000 for a Wood Bridge is expensive but it's not just that part it's there's other pieces to it that are part of the infrastructure how long was is the
bridge the bridge [Music] is I don't know 60 ft long 100t long that is uh $6,700 per linear foot yeah but again it's not just the bridge there's pavers
there's other materials there I mean there's there's a lot more to it it's it's again it's almost like a park element adjacent to the road so it ties in with solary Park you're you're taking solary Park to the road well what what about Eagle Scouts don't we have some Eagle Scouts need some projects could
they do some of these things if they have a contractor's license and well I apologize it was my idea for this bridge and I I never would have brought it up it was $400,000 but uh we're too far down the the road and we need this bridge to
connect the the street and the and the park so uh that's all I have Mr chairman Mr FL um it's one of those things where yeah it's super expensive but if you're going to do it do it now because if you don't you regret not doing it later and it'll be a lot more expensive exactly right it's it's it's
amenity I think that will really add to the whole area so right yeah I know it it's it's a tough one but I think it's I think it's a a true benefit oh it's it's it's a direct connection from the parking to the park I mean that's that's that's the real to me that's the real
benefit and and isn't there some things that we have to take into account by crossing the creek as well or is that come into play yeah the creek is a floodway regulatory floodway by FEMA so it has to be at a certain elevation that type of thing yeah so those those things
probably those are built into it as well and they all have 10% contingencies so we're going to watch this thing like a hawk and return that 10% back to the CRA correct that is the goal okay okay everybody's uh asked their questions is there anything further
based on what you've heard anybody uh councilman y uh where exactly is the bridge on the the map look at an attachment for if you look if you look where the road bends the road bends yeah yeah see it's
basically it's just to the so where the road bands is just to the West if you're out there on the on the if you're out there walking in the park where the where the where the wooden walk um Boardwalk is on the that Southwest side it connects and it kind
of tees in there comes across who's got the clicker Annie can you can you move the arrow there you go if can you make it bigger no just move your move your mouse down to it or let Bobby move the mouse sorry
that yeah oh so is it anticipated that there would be um when this property just to the north is developed that there would be a connection across there that's just a driveway connection the property to the north that would
just be there's no Bridge needed there there's no Creek there or the the property North the bridge that's no left West well Tre the trees right C own that I'm was trying to I'm
just trying to figure is there the property directly to the north would be just a driveway connection to the roadway I think that's actually built into the project that that property does not extend to the creek the the property directly north is city-owned property part of Solari
Park yeah the creek curls around the west side of the of the of the pond so the am I maybe I'm seeing this wrong the so the part just north of uh where you're saying the bridge is going to be what is that that looks like it's
connecting the the bridge there's a there's an internal side if you're talking about the internal sidewalk Boardwalk um that little piece that comes off off the trail that's just an internal function within the park it doesn't go to the ground level that's right no it's and there's actually even
another little what is it like another little like an outlet or part of that Wetland on the other side over the side of that BM Oh yeah yeah it's been a while since I've been on that so does that satisfy your question uh yeah oh well okay so I can say one other
thing to um Mr slatter's comment you said if you had known it would cost this much money you wouldn't have brought it up and it's too late now I mean is it I mean it's not truly too late now I we're voting on it now I think it brings connection from
the park to the to the road which we have to have and if they say that's the least expensive if they can do it then you know I guess we need to do it so the funding is there and it can
only be spent in the 692 or so Acres so if I had a crystal ball to tell you that yeah we'll rebid this and it'll come in half price I would tell you in a heartbeat so so Mr Wyatt to to kind of clarify to his question the these two projects are integrated so the Connector
Road plans account for the bridge the bridge plans account for the connector Road right so they're they're so it's kind of hard to separate them they're they're a single project it it can be done just the risk of you know just experience me you know me telling you is the experience is if
you're going to do it do it now because if you don't we'll wish we had it later and it'll cost a lot more to retrofit [Music] it okay if there's no other comments or questions at this point I'll call the vote we have a motion
we do have a motion in a second I call the vote all those in favor say I I I any opposed okay motion passes we have a meeting scheduled for Monday March 17 2025 Mr Cobb do you know of anything
that's going to be on that agenda this time uh there's possibility we'll have something okay so you'll let everyone know if we still need that meeting or don't need that meeting uh anything else from anybody okay sure national holiday for n SL yeah can we can we stop meeting on
national holidays so that's up to the executive director not not the chair so so I will make note of that Mr slatter oh all right with that the the meeting is adjourned with two minutes to spare all right it's like the inverse of
the shortest meeting that's the longest CRA meeting on record I think Brian were youall Clos today
