Report on Special Called Meeting Columbia Council, March 16, 2005
2005 D'Zine, Ltd Major sidewalk building and rebuilding will be underway soon along parts of Tutt , Greensburg Street, Burkesville, E. Guardian, and Grissom Streets following action Wednesday, March 16 by the Columbia City Council. The council also approved a pool of engineering firms from which the city will draw for projects requiring engineering project advisors. Mayor Bell opened the meeting with an expression of gratitude for the work that State Senator Vernie McGaha and State Representative Russ Moberly had done in securing the largest number and highest dollar amount of state funded projects in the history of Columbia and Adair County. He circulated letters of thanks he was sending to the two local legislators and recommended that others do the same. At the same time, he told the Council that he wanted to publicly thank former Mayor Curtis Hardwick for the assistance he has given in Hardwick's new capacity with the Transportation Cabinet. "I really appreciate it," Mayor Bell said. The meeting took place at 1:00 p.m., with Mayor Pat Bell presiding, and Council Members Larry Marshall, Joe Moore, Charles Grimsley, Edwin Taylor and June Parson, and City Clerk Carolyn Edwards, City Attorney Marshall Loy, City Police Chief Mark Harris in attendance. Council Member Craig Dean was the only member out for the session. Sidewalk bid accepted was the low one Mayor Bell recommended, and the Council voted, to accept the low bidder, Professional Concrete Service, PCS, for the sidewalk work. The bids read at the regular March meeting were:
The $42,535 sidewalk project is in addition to the rebuilding of sidewalks now underway to replace those damaged in the current waterline reconstruction. Professional Concrete Service, PCS, is doing that work. Four firms selected for engineering pool At the regular March meeting, the names of six applicants to serve as engineering advisors was read. The six were Cantech, A & H. DDS Engineering, Howard K. Bell, Kenviron, and Monarch Engineering. At the earlier March meeting, the Mayor appointed a committee which included the Mayor, City Clerk Carolyn Edwards, Council Member Larry Marshall, and City utilities Director Jim Williams to review the qualifications and make recommendations. The group recommended that four firms, Monarch Engineering, Kenvirons Engineering, Howard K. Bell, and Cantech be placed in a pool from which the City and the Utilities Commission would draw on a project specific basis. The vote, on a motion by Member Charles Grimsley, seconded by Member Edwin Taylor, was 5-0 to accept the concept. Council to get clarification on utilities service calls The council gave first reading to Ordinance No. 610.62 Amending Gas Meter Charge and Service Calls for Water, Sewer and Gas Departments. This is a recommendation from the Columbia Utilities Commission to charge a flat rate of $25 for service and hook-up visits, instead of an hourly rate of $6.00. The move is designed primarily to make it cheaper for customers to leave gas on in the summer than to have two service calls, one to turn off gas in the spring and another to turn on in the fall. It is also designed to bring in extra money for the revenue-strapped system. The Council postponed any action on the measure, awaiting the return of City Utilities Director Jim Williams from jury duty. In addition, routine readings for the following items were considered and unanimously approved by the five council members present, except for matters relating to previous Planning & Zoning Commission recommendations, on which Council Member June Parson abstained. All were voice votes, with no negative ones:
