Barry Brown, Jennifer Oetgen, George Reese and Tom Groover.
Approve the minutes of the previous meeting – Paul Wolff called the meeting to order and
asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the previous meeting. Barry Brown
moved to approve; Tom Groover seconded.
New Business:
I. COMMUNITY RESOURCE COMMITTTEE PROPOSAL
A. Beach Side Showers
1. Rusty Fleetwood and Don Ernst presented 2 options for restoring “rinse
off” showers using shallow wells. Option #1 being a beach shower and
option #2 being a hand pump for foot wash or bucket shower.
2. Barry Brown recommended talking this over with Bubba Hughes before
we make any motions to do anything. Paul Wolff states, that’s a good next
step; we’ll get on the agenda for the next meeting if Bubba is ok with it,
then we can move forward.
II. 14TH STREET PARKING LOT AND 18TH STREET
A. 14th Street Seal and Thermo Strip
B. 18th Street Thermo Strip
1. Joe Wilson states there’s severe surface cracking in 14th St. parking lot.
Has handout of quote from Griffin Contractors; quote is $26,925.
2. Discussions on checking in to having perpendicular parking in that lot as
opposed to angled, to add more spaces, before the lot is resurfaced.
3. Paul Wolff suggests looking at the possibilities of taking over part of
Strand Ave. and incorporating that in to part of the parking lot; do
perpendicular striping and get a ballpark figure on how many spaces we
would gain by doing that.
Old Business:
I. WATERSHED PROTECTION PLAN
A. EPD review comments – HGBD has addressed the comments.
B. City and HGBD response
1. Jennifer Oetgen passed out handouts with the EPD comments; has been
working with George Reese. Jennifer states, basically what we tried to do
is eliminate fecal coli form testing, and a sampling site, which we felt was
not representative of drainage from your jurisdiction and it picks up a lot
of the counties septic tanks.
2. Bill Lovett asked if this Watershed Protection Plan is to go back to City
Council or have this committee approve it before we resubmit to EPD.
3. Paul Wolff states he doesn’t see the point in taking this back to Council.
4. Jennifer made a recommendation that we submit the revised plan to EPD;
let them concur; they may say that you have to have it adopted again by
Council. Paul asked Jennifer if she sees any advantage of taking this back
to Council before we hear back from EPD. Jennifer states, I would not.
Paul states, let’s just keep this on the agenda for next month’s meeting and
we’ll follow up.
II. BUTLER AVENUE TE GRANT
A. Concepts (3 each) review
1. Bill Nicholson presents drawing from last month’s meeting. Handouts
passed out. I have put together 3 estimates for 3 potential options here.
2. The first one is “no road work” which would be pavers in the grass
strip. Should be about 2½-3 ft. in most places. That cost would be
$123,925.
3. The second one is “3 ½ paver strip” that would be matching Tybrisa
Street; would have 11 ½ lanes instead of 12 ft. lanes. The cost would
be $230,000.
4. The third one is essentially the same one we had last month; going
back with the 11 ft. lanes that we had in the previous Historic Butler
job. We would pull the curb in 2 ft. on each side which should give
you 4 ½ feet of paver area or additional sidewalk area on both sides.
The cost would be $ (not audible)
5. Barry Brown states he agrees with Paul; we should go with the 4 ½ ft.
lanes so we can get the most sidewalk we can get.
6. Bill Lovett states that our job now is to go to the DOT and see what we
have to do to get this project approved and bring you back a fee
proposal based on extending the curb 2 ft. on either side. Paul states,
that would be my suggestion.
III. BIKE PATH TE GRANT ENGINEERING FEE PROPOSAL
A. Handouts passed out; Summary of fee proposal (task by task) included.
Bill Nicholson states that the environmental document is almost 1/3 of the
total fee; this is the maximum that it could be. Bill states that one of the things
that are in the environmental document is a $10,000 charge for an
archeological assessment that may or may not be necessary; Bill Lovett states
that the DOT will determine that; will also have to have a buffer variance.
Joe Wilson states that Georgia Power has expressed some interest in sharing
the cost of this with us as long as they would be able to utilize the road area
with their trucks.
Paul Wolff suggests that we bring Georgia Power in next month and get them
involved and see what are options are.
IV. SEASONAL GROUNDWATER WITHDRAWAL PERMIT
V. T-SPLOST
A. Voting July 31, 2012
B. $120,000± per year for 10 years
With no further business to discuss, Paul Wolff adjourned the meeting.
A quorum of city council members may be present which would constitute a meeting.
