Again, Adam Weissen, Public Works Director. 00:01:12.674 --> 00:01:20.585 - This is on behalf of city legal and Bloomington police but on March 13th 2026 around 10 30 p.m. noise 00:01:20.585 --> 00:01:28.497 - citation 4 0 7 8 4 was issued by to Vincent LaBella at 6 13 East Brenda Lane by officer shields. They 00:01:28.497 --> 00:01:36.564 - received a call from dispatch regarding loud music coming from the garage area of the home. The officer 00:01:36.564 --> 00:01:38.270 - parked at the school. 00:01:38.946 --> 00:01:45.982 - nearby and could hear the music from the road and the music was pending for more than 15 minutes prior 00:01:45.982 --> 00:01:52.949 - to the issue and so the citation and I do believe we've got the appellant here in the room but it was 00:01:52.949 --> 00:01:54.110 - decided that the 00:01:54.914 --> 00:02:02.473 - There was a violation of Bloomington Municipal Code fourteen point oh nine dash oh one oh and BPD recommends 00:02:02.473 --> 00:02:09.616 - that the citation be upheld based on that information. And if Mr. LaBella would like to offer anything 00:02:09.616 --> 00:02:16.620 - to the board he is welcome to you. If you if you would please state your name at the podium and then 00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:24.318 - we'd be happy to hear what you have to say. Thanks. So my name is Vincent LaBella on March 13th of last month. 00:02:24.418 --> 00:02:29.483 - Received the noise citation at my my own home I'm appealing the citation as it was issued without a 00:02:29.483 --> 00:02:34.751 - prior warning and contains minimal detail regarding how the noise violation was determined The incident 00:02:34.751 --> 00:02:39.968 - occurred around 1030, which is near the beginning of typical quiet hours I was not made aware that the 00:02:39.968 --> 00:02:45.286 - noise had reached a level that would result in a citation and I would have immediately complied if asked 00:02:45.286 --> 00:02:50.503 - Additionally, the citation does not specify any measurable standards such as distance or decibel level 00:02:50.503 --> 00:02:53.086 - used to determine that the noise was excessive and 00:02:53.314 --> 00:02:58.589 - This is my first offense and I take responsibility for being more mindful moving forward I respect the 00:02:58.589 --> 00:03:03.967 - purpose of the ordinance and maintaining peaceful environment for my neighbors as a first-time homeowner 00:03:03.967 --> 00:03:09.293 - and a lifelong member of the Bloomington community I'm committed to being respectful and compliant with 00:03:09.293 --> 00:03:14.568 - the city standards. This is my first offense and I will ensure it does not happen again I respectfully 00:03:14.568 --> 00:03:19.792 - am asking for a dismissal or reduction. I Appreciate the time and consideration regarding this matter 00:03:19.792 --> 00:03:22.558 - and request a favor of resolution Thank you very much 00:03:24.706 --> 00:03:34.289 - New questions from the board is the officer present with us on zoom. We don't have the officer does 00:03:34.289 --> 00:03:44.446 - the officer need to be present legal represent our legal representative. We'll have legal to answer that. 00:03:54.562 --> 00:04:01.917 - Castamania from City of Livington Legal Department So the officer we will you guys can continue based 00:04:01.917 --> 00:04:09.416 - on the staff report and you continue with your findings and you can also continue Based on the citation 00:04:09.416 --> 00:04:16.627 - that was issued So I'm happy to answer any questions that you have for the police department or for 00:04:16.627 --> 00:04:23.838 - the legal department Thank you, we could also postpone and wait if you guys want to wait but Thanks 00:04:29.186 --> 00:04:40.332 - I would ask the officer this Is it standard to provide a warning before noise violations or not provide 00:04:40.332 --> 00:04:53.086 - a warning before noise violations That's correct warnings are not issued So first offense would automatically go to it 00:04:53.314 --> 00:05:02.806 - The first fine. Yes. And the first fine is fifty dollars. So the first offense is fifty dollars and 00:05:02.806 --> 00:05:13.153 - their warnings are not part of not part of the citation process for noise violations. So any other questions 00:05:13.153 --> 00:05:21.886 - or other questions from the board. No I don't have any other questions. I just was going to 00:05:22.242 --> 00:05:30.968 - restate from the the staff report because it was mentioned in the appeal document that there wasn't 00:05:30.968 --> 00:05:39.869 - a specific measure that it was Found against and that is in part because of the way that ordinance is 00:05:39.869 --> 00:05:48.682 - written that it's not based on a certain decibel level or a measurement but rather If there is noise 00:05:48.682 --> 00:05:51.998 - that can be heard from outside of the 00:05:52.194 --> 00:06:03.493 - Under the Bloomington Code chapter 14 additionally, there is a pending time limit. So it's 15 minutes 00:06:03.493 --> 00:06:14.681 - once it's called from dispatch. So the officers do make sure that that time frame is met before they 00:06:14.681 --> 00:06:21.438 - go in to check and so the it's the reasonable person measure 00:06:21.570 --> 00:06:31.069 - under Chapter fourteen point oh nine zero one. Oh as as written in the staff report Unreasonable unnecessary 00:06:31.069 --> 00:06:40.046 - excessive and offensive noise from all sources subjects subjects to its police power It's unlawful for 00:06:40.046 --> 00:06:49.022 - any person to cause or make unreasonable noise or to allow any unreasonable noise to be caused or made 00:06:49.282 --> 00:06:58.189 - on any real or personal property. So we would argue that there was noise. That is a fact. And the citation 00:06:58.189 --> 00:07:06.847 - was issued. And the noise had been pending for 15 minutes once the call came in from dispatch. And also 00:07:06.847 --> 00:07:15.838 - that warnings are not part of, it's not under our code to issue warnings for noise appeal, noise citations. 00:07:17.986 --> 00:07:25.695 - Just confirm that the call log we have in our packet Does mean that a complaint call was called into 00:07:25.695 --> 00:07:33.710 - dispatch, which is correct. Okay. Thank you I do want to make one correction that I noticed in the staff 00:07:33.710 --> 00:07:41.420 - report There was some language from one of the previous carryover cases on both of the staff reports 00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:44.702 - for the noise or noise appeals and section 00:07:45.346 --> 00:07:51.567 - under our facts there's language included in here about the apartment when teaching his roommate how 00:07:51.567 --> 00:07:57.850 - to DJ that's from a previous one that was not edited out of this document and that's in both of these 00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:04.071 - staff reports for tonight that will be struck from the record that's not for that was an error to be 00:08:04.071 --> 00:08:10.293 - included so thank you I did see that when I was reading over the weekend and neglected to bring that 00:08:10.293 --> 00:08:14.974 - up at the work session so thank you for saying that last appeals okay sorry 00:08:15.394 --> 00:08:23.506 - Is there any public comment on this item? Not on zoom, all right seeing none is there a motion Does 00:08:23.506 --> 00:08:31.780 - the opponent have anything else that they do you want to add anything else at this point? I just want 00:08:31.780 --> 00:08:39.892 - to make sure you had a chance. Perfect. Thank you Is there a motion I Move that we uphold the noise 00:08:39.892 --> 00:08:42.974 - citation for 613 East Brindle Lane.

It does not appear that officer Dorman is here this evening Do we have him online by chance? 00:09:24.992 --> 00:09:31.331 - Okay, and so The officer became alerted to the noise when they received a call from dispatch regarding 00:09:31.331 --> 00:09:36.254 - loud music coming from the home Reported by the roommate the roommate left left 00:09:36.354 --> 00:09:43.407 - Officer Dorman into the building where the officer could clearly hear music and visually saw about 10 00:09:43.407 --> 00:09:50.530 - to 10 to 15 people partying And the appellant is here. This is another case where it was declared that 00:09:50.530 --> 00:09:57.514 - the policy of the city was violated and prohibiting unreasonable unnecessary excessive and offensive 00:09:57.514 --> 00:10:02.078 - noise from the sources above certain levels and is detrimental to 00:10:02.274 --> 00:10:10.137 - to the well-being of the public nearby. Also just stating that that it was a standard of unreasonable 00:10:10.137 --> 00:10:18.386 - noise and that a complaint was received on this one as well. If the appellant would like to offer anything 00:10:18.386 --> 00:10:26.172 - to the board now would be your chance. If you could state your name please at the podium. My name is 00:10:26.172 --> 00:10:31.646 - Emanuel McKenzie and on the 18th of March there was a noise complaint. 00:10:32.514 --> 00:10:38.201 - For my understanding, on that particular day, it was an apartment to be precise. I had a few friends 00:10:38.201 --> 00:10:43.831 - over. It was during the spring break. And I don't want to cause a disturbance or anything. Before I 00:10:43.831 --> 00:10:49.518 - had this gathering, I spoke with my neighbors that I live with and I asked if I'm going to be having 00:10:49.518 --> 00:10:55.486 - people over. So they said, oh, you can do that, kids. We're not going to be here during the spring break. 00:10:55.810 --> 00:11:01.229 - On that particular day, I spoke with my roommate. I lived with three other people. One of my roommate 00:11:01.229 --> 00:11:06.700 - was not here. He went home for spring break. The other two people, I had a conversation with the other 00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:12.066 - person. And the last person that reported this, that was my, I made a mistake and I forgot to inform 00:11:12.066 --> 00:11:17.644 - him because I had some other things. I was supposed to tell him the old thing that, oh yes, I was having 00:11:17.644 --> 00:11:21.150 - people over, but I made a mistake and I forgot to inform him that 00:11:21.666 --> 00:11:27.395 - But on that particular day, I was playing music, but not so loud to the point where it was causing too 00:11:27.395 --> 00:11:33.069 - much disturbance to the other people in the building. But I feel like that noise is just too much for 00:11:33.069 --> 00:11:38.798 - my neighbor, World's Liveaway, and I take responsibility for that. It wasn't my intention to make them 00:11:38.798 --> 00:11:44.416 - uncomfortable because I was supposed to communicate with them, but I made a mistake not telling them 00:11:44.416 --> 00:11:50.590 - sooner than before having the party over. And I apologize for wasn't making noise, causing a disturbance to my 00:11:50.690 --> 00:12:00.732 - Roommate and I just hope I could get a second chance. Um So because this is my first offense and I've 00:12:00.732 --> 00:12:10.281 - made um Steps not to make this kind of mistake again not to cause disturbance saying I've better 00:12:10.281 --> 00:12:17.566 - communication with my tape with my roommate Questions from the board Just 00:12:18.338 --> 00:12:26.622 - Question from city legal we were talking about the 15-minute time period in the prior noise appeal I 00:12:26.622 --> 00:12:34.824 - just want to confirm that that was also upheld and the 15-minute time period was upheld in this one 00:12:34.824 --> 00:12:43.517 - as well They wait 15 minutes from the time that they get the call of dispatch to see if the noise becomes 00:12:43.517 --> 00:12:46.142 - unreasonable if it continues so 00:12:46.306 --> 00:12:53.676 - In this particular case, um, when the officer arrived, uh, the call was actually, actually came from 00:12:53.676 --> 00:13:01.046 - the roommate, um, from Mr. Kenzie's roommate. Um, and the roommate did lead the officer to where the 00:13:01.046 --> 00:13:08.343 - noise was coming from, but, um, well before the officer, um, got to the actual apartment, he could, 00:13:08.343 --> 00:13:14.910 - um, hear the music and he visually saw about 10 to 15 people, um, in the home. Um, again, 00:13:15.042 --> 00:13:25.429 - I stated in the previous citation BPD does not issue warnings for the citations. They are $50 and and 00:13:25.429 --> 00:13:35.816 - Unless that it falls within an enumerated exception under our code There is no warning. Thank you Any 00:13:35.816 --> 00:13:43.454 - public comments on this item None on zoom. All right, is there a motion?

I Caron I motion passes Thank you very much for coming Just for the record 00:14:06.498 --> 00:14:11.887 - You know, it has been pretty clearly established with the noise violations over the last couple years 00:14:11.887 --> 00:14:17.329 - that the warnings aren't issued, that we are gonna always ask the board to uphold them, and thus there 00:14:17.329 --> 00:14:22.824 - are some very extenuating circumstances. You know, I wish there was opportunities for just quick second 00:14:22.824 --> 00:14:28.107 - chances, but I do appreciate both of the appellants and the way that they said that they understood 00:14:28.107 --> 00:14:33.549 - that it was a violation, but they wanted to try to make right by it, so I appreciate that. Just wanted 00:14:33.549 --> 00:14:35.134 - to mention it for the record. 00:14:38.402 --> 00:14:45.748 - We have petitions and remonstrances.

The maintenance of traffic for the project will include a full road closure on West 00:19:43.313 --> 00:19:50.511 - Kirkwood, which will be a maximum of 10 days, not necessarily consecutive. For West Grimes Lane, Patterson 00:19:50.511 --> 00:19:52.126 - Drive and South Rogers, 00:19:52.322 --> 00:19:58.825 - One lane road closures will be in place throughout the project.

It's 180 days, so it's a very tight timeline. And after 00:20:51.514 --> 00:20:59.962 - award tonight, we will figure out when that start date is. I imagine they'll want to start as soon as 00:20:59.962 --> 00:21:08.659 - possible, maybe May 1st. And then there are restrictions on the closure on Kirkwood as well as the other 00:21:08.659 --> 00:21:10.398 - part of the project. 00:21:11.682 --> 00:21:18.444 - Believe the dates are May 22nd through June, August. I can't remember the exact date, but yeah, before 00:21:18.444 --> 00:21:25.338 - students return. Avoiding the problematic traffic time, which is, of course, what I'm asking. Of course. 00:21:25.338 --> 00:21:32.100 - So I'm actually currently also looking at a document that talks about all of our projects that we have 00:21:32.100 --> 00:21:38.206 - going on throughout the whole community this summer. And so we're balancing a lot right now. 00:21:38.562 --> 00:21:45.415 - Pavement maintenance projects that are outside of this contract that are also adjacent To the area where 00:21:45.415 --> 00:21:51.943 - we're gonna have paving here You know, this is these are all of the main thoroughfares in that kind 00:21:51.943 --> 00:21:58.078 - of quadrant of the city from the Norbert Nordic site north on Patterson up to third and fifth 00:21:58.210 --> 00:22:04.134 - Kirkwood because it wouldn't be a road in Bloomington without three names. And then over to the portion 00:22:04.134 --> 00:22:10.116 - of Kirkwood we're actually going to do from like Adams to... We're going Pine to Rogers. Pine to Rogers. 00:22:10.116 --> 00:22:11.198 - You know, so we're 00:22:11.426 --> 00:22:17.088 - Coordinating all of these with other projects in mind as well We also still have the continued work 00:22:17.088 --> 00:22:22.863 - on 2nd Street throughout the summer with utility relocation. So the folks like Sarah and You know the 00:22:22.863 --> 00:22:28.638 - the street staff and everybody that are doing the like fine fine tuning coordination of balancing all 00:22:28.638 --> 00:22:34.413 - this Really appreciate those efforts because there is a lot of balancing that we're trying to do with 00:22:34.413 --> 00:22:40.414 - all these various projects It wouldn't be a summer in Bloomington if we weren't closing some streets. Yes 00:22:40.802 --> 00:22:47.665 - All in the name of good investments into our infrastructure for long term maintenance and minimum impact 00:22:47.665 --> 00:22:54.201 - trying to get them all in during the same time period. So appreciate that coordination. I just want 00:22:54.201 --> 00:23:00.933 - to confirm you said that the full closure at West Kirkwood and Rogers would be 10 days not necessarily 00:23:00.933 --> 00:23:02.110 - consecutive days. 00:23:02.786 --> 00:23:09.538 - And it won't it won't just be at Rogers intersection. It would be along that corridor from pine to Rogers 00:23:09.538 --> 00:23:15.972 - because we are putting in some raised crosswalks for safety purposes. So those will be needing maybe 00:23:15.972 --> 00:23:22.660 - a few days closure each. And so those will be spaced out over time depending on how the contractor wants 00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:29.412 - to get it done. So it'll be up to them if they want to make it consecutive or not consecutive. OK. That's 00:23:29.412 --> 00:23:30.686 - helpful. Thank you. 00:23:32.674 --> 00:23:39.011 - Any other questions from the board questions from or I'm sorry public comment on this item. 00:23:39.011 --> 00:23:45.968 - None on zoom. All right.

I will call the roll Cox-Dickard. I Korone I motion passes. Thank you Next is adopt a roundabout policy. I 00:32:22.306 --> 00:32:28.765 - Good evening board Adam Wason public works director for the city of Bloomington. This is something we've 00:32:28.765 --> 00:32:34.979 - been working on for last several months with staff from several city departments including parks and 00:32:34.979 --> 00:32:41.192 - recreation engineering department and others and So this is a program that will seek out sponsorship 00:32:41.192 --> 00:32:47.651 - monies for the support and maintenance of four of our roundabouts and this kind of this came to us after 00:32:47.651 --> 00:32:49.374 - some interested parties and 00:32:49.730 --> 00:32:57.036 - asked about any programs that we had in place for such work and Realized we didn't have anything formal 00:32:57.036 --> 00:33:04.273 - in place that really could Help us to meet some of our goals to not only beautify but maintain several 00:33:04.273 --> 00:33:11.439 - of our roundabouts There is a sponsorship agreement that's been included in your packet And this will 00:33:11.439 --> 00:33:18.605 - also go to the Board of Parks commissioners for their approval some things to note that there are You 00:33:18.605 --> 00:33:19.518 - know several 00:33:19.682 --> 00:33:28.155 - of goals or intentions listed here in terms of the beautification and such, but also that there are 00:33:28.155 --> 00:33:36.881 - terms in which the sponsor provides the financial support and what type of recognition they get in the 00:33:36.881 --> 00:33:42.558 - roundabout with signage and such. It also lists out that there are 00:33:43.778 --> 00:33:49.907 - Industries and products that may not participate in the adopter on about program including religious 00:33:49.907 --> 00:33:56.462 - religious organizations party based or issue based political organizations or campaigns Businesses regarded 00:33:56.462 --> 00:34:02.713 - as adult businesses as defined by Indiana code and companies that derive 50% or more of their business 00:34:02.713 --> 00:34:08.478 - from the sale of any of the following alcohol tobacco or vape alcohol tobacco or vape products 00:34:08.578 --> 00:34:18.438 - firearms or ammunition pornography or gambling so there are some restrictions and some language in there 00:34:18.438 --> 00:34:28.298 - to that Outline who may not participate in this type of program and then just also list that the program 00:34:28.298 --> 00:34:35.998 - is a 12-month sponsorship and that the Board of Parks both the Parks director and 00:34:36.738 --> 00:34:45.796 - Parks Department and the Public Works Department will work on these sponsorship and agreements in partnership 00:34:45.796 --> 00:34:54.524 - Any questions from the board Regarding the Sponsorship levels, is there like a maximum number of sponsors 00:34:54.524 --> 00:35:03.005 - per roundabout? Okay, so as many as we can fit the signs in we could have like multiple you could have 00:35:03.005 --> 00:35:04.158 - a landmark or 00:35:04.418 --> 00:35:11.555 - but also a welcome maybe in the same roundabout potentially. I don't know that we'll have overwhelming 00:35:11.555 --> 00:35:19.038 - number of individuals or businesses knocking on the door but we have a few that are interested and you know 00:35:19.426 --> 00:35:27.789 - Ideally, we would seek sponsors of all of the different roundabouts instead of multiple ones at a single 00:35:27.789 --> 00:35:36.151 - one But we also understand some of them probably have higher traffic counts than others, etc. So Imagine 00:35:36.151 --> 00:35:44.354 - a situation where they'd prefer a certain roundabout exactly. Yeah Does this language match other city 00:35:44.354 --> 00:35:45.310 - sponsorship 00:35:46.498 --> 00:35:53.421 - Activity like what is it? Is it crafted from something that has parks parks has had sponsorship for 00:35:53.421 --> 00:36:00.413 - trees Beeline backers program, so We pretty much pulled from previous examples work for city legal I 00:36:00.413 --> 00:36:07.336 - believe some of the language may even come from the adopt a road sponsorship program that we've had 00:36:07.336 --> 00:36:13.982 - partnership with the solid waste management district on so We did not try to reinvent the wheel 00:36:17.058 --> 00:36:26.258 - One is about the recognition signage says it shall not exceed 16 square feet in total area per sign 00:36:26.258 --> 00:36:35.458 - that 16 square feet is that four by four feet? Yes, just like is That's a very very large sign with 00:36:35.458 --> 00:36:41.438 - that not impede No, so when you really think about it in traffic 00:36:41.602 --> 00:36:48.999 - You'd be surprised at how small 4x4 sign would actually look as you're in a vehicle or something like 00:36:48.999 --> 00:36:56.323 - that. It would not. So all of these standards are based on the UDO and the manual on uniform traffic 00:36:56.323 --> 00:37:03.937 - control devices, otherwise known as the MUTCD, and their signage standards for roadway signage and such. 00:37:03.937 --> 00:37:09.086 - Okay. Thank you. I'm not an engineer. It just sounds large to me. Yes. 00:37:10.146 --> 00:37:18.383 - Overall not as big as you would think. Okay And I just have a question for city legal This came up yesterday 00:37:18.383 --> 00:37:26.167 - during our work session and I would just like to make sure our colleague who is not here Has his voice 00:37:26.167 --> 00:37:33.725 - heard could you explain the list of industries and products that may not participate in the program 00:37:33.725 --> 00:37:35.614 - how that was defined and 00:37:41.378 --> 00:37:50.877 - I can tell you that I was part of this conversation largely with parks and they have the same list when 00:37:50.877 --> 00:38:00.559 - it comes to park sponsorship So who can put up banners and who can sponsor things? through their programs 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.030 - Frankly, I would have to look back at 00:38:04.354 --> 00:38:11.277 - At the statute, but I believe that there's a lot of those things are taken from statute, especially 00:38:11.277 --> 00:38:18.269 - the definitions of things Some of those things are just are some of the items on the those lists are 00:38:18.269 --> 00:38:25.815 - pretty standard for municipalities or other governmental entities there are already pretty strict guidelines 00:38:25.815 --> 00:38:28.446 - we have to follow when you talk about 00:38:29.186 --> 00:38:37.435 - political signs in on government property Potentially religious signs on government property. So there 00:38:37.435 --> 00:38:46.004 - those are already things that we have to be very conscious and careful of And to avoid bringing everything 00:38:46.004 --> 00:38:54.012 - back to this board every single sign back to this board It can be easier for us to make a rule with 00:38:54.012 --> 00:38:56.094 - these items on the list I 00:38:56.194 --> 00:39:05.471 - cannot remember the basis for decisions regarding adult products, smoking, vaping, alcohol, those kinds 00:39:05.471 --> 00:39:14.391 - of things. But I can tell you those are also pretty standard in governmental prohibitions regarding 00:39:14.391 --> 00:39:23.311 - signs and advertisements on government property across governmental entities. Thank you. Yes. Other 00:39:23.311 --> 00:39:25.630 - questions from the board? 00:39:27.202 --> 00:39:38.967 - We did at one point in the distant past have some sort of sponsored like roundabout sponsor situation. 00:39:38.967 --> 00:39:41.822 - This is a long time ago. 00:39:41.922 --> 00:39:47.993 - I'm just curious. I don't remember all the details of it. This seems like a more formalized process, 00:39:47.993 --> 00:39:54.486 - though, than what we had before. So I'm just asking, like, is this essentially an improved process compared 00:39:54.486 --> 00:40:00.677 - to what may have been in place in the past if any organizations had participated in the plan? Yes. One 00:40:00.677 --> 00:40:06.689 - of the things I didn't quite have time on my plate, this was on a to-do list for quite some time to 00:40:06.689 --> 00:40:11.678 - get it updated. And we brought on some new staff that was able to devote the time. 00:40:11.842 --> 00:40:18.248 - Shout out to Cassie Warnie for her work on this. It was just one of those where it finally had somebody 00:40:18.248 --> 00:40:24.407 - that was able to put the time and effort to work with parks, get it formalized, get it updated, and 00:40:24.407 --> 00:40:30.997 - make it something that would work better. It still has terms and language on if the sponsor is not meeting 00:40:30.997 --> 00:40:37.280 - their obligations, things like that. But one of the issues in the past was that the sponsorship often 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:40.606 - included the maintenance side of it from the sponsor. 00:40:41.250 --> 00:40:47.880 - Pulling weeds from around about in the middle of Sarah and Rogers probably not your favorite day of 00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:54.776 - activities for most people So we did have some issue in the past with that. This is more of a financial 00:40:54.776 --> 00:41:01.406 - contribution So then we can then contract for the maintenance. Yeah, I noticed that which I thought 00:41:01.406 --> 00:41:08.302 - was an improvement an improvement, especially for the sponsors Great. Thank you Not on zoom, all right, 00:41:08.302 --> 00:41:09.694 - is there a motion to 00:41:10.370 --> 00:41:19.528 - I move that we approve the adopt a roundabout policy. Nice second with a motion and a second. I will 00:41:19.528 --> 00:41:27.870 - call the roll Cox Decker. I Caron I motion passes Next is amendment to to contract with IMS 00:41:28.002 --> 00:41:34.401 - All right. This is after we discussed this at length yesterday. I think we've got a much more clear 00:41:34.401 --> 00:41:40.800 - and concise reason for how we've ended up where we're at here. But this is amendment number two not 00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:47.327 - amendment number one and it is in the amount of two thousand four hundred and eighty dollars. This is 00:41:47.327 --> 00:41:52.382 - just an amendment to add 12 months of additional of an additional time period. 00:41:52.514 --> 00:41:58.253 - for the photo images from the data collection project that we're doing that we would have it for an 00:41:58.253 --> 00:42:04.050 - extended period of time being 12 months. This brings the total amount of the contract to two hundred 00:42:04.050 --> 00:42:09.444 - and fifty three thousand three hundred and seventy one dollars. And we request your approval. 00:42:09.444 --> 00:42:15.183 - Thank you. I'll just say I appreciate the clarification after our conversation yesterday. Questions 00:42:15.183 --> 00:42:20.980 - from the board. That got pretty confusing yesterday for everybody. I'm glad that was a work session. 00:42:20.980 --> 00:42:21.726 - Not tonight. 00:42:22.498 --> 00:42:29.855 - No, I don't have any other questions. Okay public comment on this item None on zoom is there a motion 00:42:29.855 --> 00:42:37.284 - I move that we approve amendment 2 to contract with IMS and I second I will call the roll Cox Deckard. 00:42:37.284 --> 00:42:44.569 - I'm Caron. I motion passes Next on the agenda staff reports Miranda beaver on behalf of Zach Bell. I 00:42:44.569 --> 00:42:52.286 - think he forgot he had a follow-up on the IU circuit relocation notification I did meet with him today and 00:42:52.450 --> 00:43:01.282 - We discussed the Duke energy's process for notification, um, with Corey, um, Hamlin from Duke energy 00:43:01.282 --> 00:43:10.113 - and he did send an email out to them, um, to get a little more clarification on it. However, they do 00:43:10.113 --> 00:43:19.294 - have a text messaging and a, um, email notification process for 72 hours before the outage is, um, going 00:43:19.294 --> 00:43:20.606 - to occur. And, 00:43:20.706 --> 00:43:27.537 - They also have to this was the other thing that I think we missed yesterday in the work session 00:43:27.537 --> 00:43:34.724 - is clarification that they have to meet the iurc standard of Notification process for an a scheduled 00:43:34.724 --> 00:43:41.911 - outage. So all we are doing is approving the noise during that time period the iurc really navigates 00:43:41.911 --> 00:43:46.750 - the notification for those longer period of time outages which when 00:43:46.914 --> 00:43:54.097 - Zach and Kyle followed up. It is a 72 hour notification that they will be Aware of but we did try to 00:43:54.097 --> 00:44:01.564 - get more information on exactly which businesses in advance of this so that we can get That that figured 00:44:01.564 --> 00:44:08.747 - out and this is Something that was requested by the KCA. It is an update to this circuit relocation. 00:44:08.747 --> 00:44:15.646 - That is their dedicated circuit for These power outages to not happen and that at those download 00:44:15.746 --> 00:44:23.575 - Downtown locations. So Kyle is pretty sure that all of the businesses down there are aware because they're 00:44:23.575 --> 00:44:28.990 - in favor of having this upgrade done to this circuit Thank you, all right 00:44:29.122 --> 00:44:35.980 - That report for me now just really quickly Lots going on we're starting construction season as we talked 00:44:35.980 --> 00:44:42.643 - about with the contract for the paving with West Kirkwood Patterson and Rogers We have major projects 00:44:42.643 --> 00:44:49.697 - going on throughout the entire summer as you know as is kind of typical around here for summer construction 00:44:49.697 --> 00:44:56.752 - season, but We will have several projects kicking off right after graduation that Monday May 11th including 00:44:56.752 --> 00:44:59.038 - our Kirkwood sidewalk project with 00:44:59.138 --> 00:45:06.667 - brick rehabilitation. We are repaving our downtown parking lots. So the surface lots that are under 00:45:06.667 --> 00:45:14.346 - city control downtown are all getting a refresh and with pavement.
