Mayor Schmitz called the meeting to order. Reverend Clint McBroom, Highland Park United Methodist Church, then led in prayer, afterwhich Commissioner Newsome led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Mayor Schmitz announced Commissioner Dorsey is out of town today attending an Alabama League of Municipalities (ALM) function. Commissioner Barbaree moved that the Minutes of the Meeting of April 15, 2014, be approved, motion seconded by Commissioner Baxley and unanimously approved. Mayor Schmitz presented and read a proclamation, proclaiming the week of May 11-17, 2014 as “Police Week” in the City of Dothan. Police Chief Greg Benton and members of the Dothan Police Department (DPD) were present for the proclamation. Mayor Schmitz presented and read a proclamation, proclaiming May, 2014 as “Foster Care Month” in the City of Dothan. Mary Paulk and Julie Lindsey, Dothan Houston County Department of Human Resources were present for the proclamation. Commissioner Newsome said a pastor was recently bitten by loose dogs on Stringer Street, and he requested the status of this issue. City Manager West said City staff are working with the dog owner to ensure the animals are constrained and the Houston County Health Department is also involved. Commissioner Newsome said this particular address has received numerous complaints in the past and this is an ongoing problem. He asked to be kept updated on this matter. City Manager West requested Captain Carlton Ott to keep him informed so that he may pass the information along to Commissioner Newsome. Commissioner Barbaree asked City Attorney Len White if Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) can be notified that they are in violation of the City’s weed abatement ordinance with respect to right-of-ways and medians. City Attorney White said he will look into this matter to see if ALDOT is subject to the ordinance. City Manager West noted that ALDOT started cutting the Ross Clark Circle yesterday. Commissioner Barbaree said he does not know how we can ask residents to follow the weed abatement act if the state does not follow it. He said he has received emails and phone calls regarding this issue, and while he does not want an adverse relationship with ALDOT, it is unsightly and occurring in most of our thoroughfares. Commissioner Baxley reported vehicle traffic backing up substantially at the intersection of Westgate Parkway and Choctaw Street around 5:00 p.m. daily. He requested the Public Works Department to check into this matter to determine if modifications to the traffic light timing or roadways are needed to help alleviate the congestion. Mayor Schmitz requested Commissioner Barbaree join together with another commissioner and some of the public to discuss ideas for future plans of the old Minutes of the Board of Commissioners – May 6, 2014, continued. Air National Guard Armory property on Westgate Parkway. He noted that staff will also provide ideas and said this will be a long term process. Public Works Director Jerry Corbin explained fuel still exists on this site and CH2M HILL is leading a clean-up effort with the use of a vapor extraction system set up on the property. He said once the vapor is reduced to a certain level, they will be able to close the site. Commissioner Barbaree asked who is overseeing this project and if there is an estimated completion date. Mr. Corbin said CH2M HILL is dealing directly with Alabama Department of Environmental Management and levels are anticipated to be at an acceptable level in about a year. Mr. Corbin said the City has beneficial use of the property but the entire site cannot be cleared until the extraction process is complete. He said the ultimate clean-up and expense lies with the Guard until the vapor is cleared. Mr. Corbin confirmed for Commissioner Barbaree that the Armory Commission of Alabama is doing what they are supposed to do. Commissioner Barbaree advised that the state lobbyists can keep this project on track if their assistance is needed. Mayor Schmitz said a lot of incredible things have happened since the U.S.-China Manufacturing Symposium was held in Dothan in March, 2014. He said one of the benefits of the symposium has been the opportunity to form a relationship with Mr. Francisco Sanchez, former Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade. He said Mr. Sanchez is working to procure manufacturing companies for the United States and our community is now on Mr. Sanchez’s radar because of the symposium. Mayor Schmitz said that he received a phone call from Mr. Sanchez on Friday and yesterday, he, along with Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce President Matt Parker, traveled to Washington D.C. and met with two companies. Mayor Schmitz said doors are being opened and he is proud of this community for doing such a wonderful job. Chief Greg Benton, along with City Manager West and members of the DPD, recognized and presented Life Saving Awards to Officer Jack Donald Hunt, II, Officer Jason Omar Neal, and Officer David Todd Jubenville; Police Star Medal Award to Officer Jeremy Ted Wallace, and Civilian Exceptional Service Medal Award to Mr. George Stokes.

City Manager West announced the Mayor’s Ride for Fitness event will be held Saturday, May 10th at Westgate Park with registration beginning at 9:30 a.m. City Manager West announced Older American’s Day will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 7th at the National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds. He explained the event is being moved from Eastgate Park this year because of flooding issues caused by the recent rain event. City Manager West announced the Special Olympics “Tip A Cop” fundraiser will be held from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Friday, May 9th at Red Lobster. City Manager West announced “Bark in the Park” will be held Saturday, May 17th at Eastgate Park.

Commissioner Newsome moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Kirkland and upon the motion being put to vote, those voting “yea,” were Schmitz, Newsome, Kirkland, Ferguson and Baxley; “nay:” Barbaree. The motion was carried by the majority of five "yeas" to one “nay.” Commissioner Barbaree said he cannot in good conscience vote for this when the state cannot maintain our right-of-ways and medians. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-107 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), continuing the tax levied on property situated in the City of Dothan at the rate of five (5) mills upon each one dollar ($1.00) of assessed value and fixing the compensation of the tax assessor and tax collector for collecting and assessing the tax.

Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Newsome. Commissioner Newsome noted this is a one year renewable contract and inquired why the contract is not for a longer period considering the cost for this type of service continuously increases. City Manager West said the current plans are to expand the landfill, and if determined necessary in the future, this service may be rebid. He said Waste Away Group, Inc. originally wanted an escalation cost for each year but the City refused. Commissioner Barbaree said he is glad the City is not entering into a long contract because his hope is for the landfill to be up and running pretty quick. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-109 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), entering into a permit agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation to install approximately 25 L.F. of 4” PVC to existing manhole and internal drop in the 2200 Block of Ross Clark Circle. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Barbaree and unanimously adopted. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-110 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), approving Change Order No. 1 (final) with American Infrastructure Technologies Corporation reducing the contract amount by $108,409.50 to a final contract amount of $418,690.50. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Newsome. Commissioner Ferguson noted the contractor is ready to stripe and asked if the manhole covers will be lowered or another layer applied. Mr. Corbin said the current application is a leveling course, work had to be done to lower some of the higher manholes and adjustment rings will be used to raise the manholes that are too low. He said the striping will be temporary because there will be one more course of asphalt applied. Commissioner Newsome asked if this is the final cost of this project. City Manager West and Mr. Corbin confirmed this is the final cost for the sewer rehabilitation work portion of the project. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-111 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), submitting the 2013 Municipal Water Pollution Prevention Annual Reports for the City’s three (3) wastewater treatment plants to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Barbaree and unanimously adopted. Commissioner Newsome mentioned the Omussee Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and asked if it is possible to look further than the twenty year protections, possibly thirty or forty years. Dothan Utilities Director Billy Mayes said one of the biggest problems in forecasting even twenty years into the future is that so many things change. Mr. Mayes cited the reduction in Wayne Farms production and the closure of Sony as examples. He said, while they do try to plan for thirty and forty years, twenty years is a good target and it is the standard amount of time used by the industry for designs and forecasting. He said Omussee Creek WWTP is currently being studied, a rough draft has been compiled and they are in the process of completion. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-112 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), awarding the bid, entering into a contract and issuing a Notice to Proceed to Layne Christensen Company of Pensacola Florida for the Tuscaloosa Test Well for the sum of $630,031.00 and appropriating funds for said construction. Commissioner Newsome moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Ferguson and unanimously adopted. Commissioner Barbaree asked how many local companies bid on this item. City Manager West said the only other bid received was by a company based in Headland and the Minutes of the Board of Commissioners – May 6, 2014, continued. total amount was over $200,000.00 more than this bid. Commissioner Barbaree confirmed that no representative from Layne Christensen Company was present. He said this is a large amount of money and someone from the company should have attended this meeting. Commissioner Newsome expressed concern about the low number of bids received for this project, and on other items as well, and said vendors need to be encouraged to bid. City Manager West said the specifications of this well limited the number of bidders because there are only a small amount of companies capable of drilling the required depth. Mayor Schmitz acknowledged this is a specialized item and said there are ways to increase bids on other items. He said the City held a community workshop on April 17th as a way to provide this type of information to businesses. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-113 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), amending Resolution No. 2013-431 with the United States Marshals Service to accept additional funding of $650.00 for reimbursement of overtime for officers working Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force cases for a total funding of $13,150.00.

Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Ferguson and unanimously adopted. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-115 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), entering into an agreement with the Housing Authority of the City of Dothan, Alabama to continue the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program by providing police officers for assignment at the public housing developments for a one-year period at an estimated cost of $567,989.00 with $175,000.00 being reimbursed to the City. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Baxley. City Manager West said this is the maximum amount of money that can be reimbursed under Federal law. Commissioner Ferguson asked how many officers are assigned to this program and Commissioner Newsome asked if more officers can be placed on the street in order to cover all the activities occurring at these developments. Chief Benton explained there are a total of eight officers assigned to cover the seven locations. City Manager West said five police officers have been added to this year’s budget and additional officers may be addressed if needed. Commissioner Barbaree said he is glad the additional officers were added but he is also aware of a request to add a captain position and remove an officer position. Chief Benton said the total number of sworn officers will remain the same. Commissioner Barbaree said he does not agree with this request because he does not believe the number of officers on the street should ever be reduced. Commissioner Ferguson asked if the department is fully staffed. Chief Benton said they are six employees short of being fully staffed and five people are about to go to the academy. He confirmed for Commissioner Ferguson that the six positions are funded. Commissioner Newsome said the military drawdown should be a great opportunity to get qualified applicants. Chief Benton said they are sending their recruiting team to two of those installations in the next week. Commissioner Newsome requested City Manager West to provide the Commission with some input on this trip. Commissioner Newsome said he feels strongly that the Commission needs to address funding for additional officers. Chief Benton said some of this may be addressed with a workload analysis, an item on today’s Administrative Agenda. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-116 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), accepting the proposal of WOOF-FM for an advertising package for the promotion of Water World, which includes a radio remote on Mother’s Day, at a cost of $6,000.00 for a four (4) month period . Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Baxley and upon the motion being put to vote, those voting “yea,” were Schmitz, Minutes of the Board of Commissioners – May 6, 2014, continued. Newsome, Kirkland, Ferguson and Baxley; “nay:” none; “abstained:” Barbaree. The motion was carried by the majority of five "yeas" to one “abstention.” Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-117 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), accepting a grant award from Patagonia in the amount of $1,500.00 for building trailheads for the Forever Wild Project and appropriating funds for said project. Commissioner Baxley moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Kirkland. Commissioner Barbaree thanked Mark and Susan Anderson of Eagle Eye Outfitters for their help with this endeavor. He expressed appreciation to Mayor Schmitz for his assistance in resolving parking issues at the business’s new location with the developer. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-118 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), entering into an agreement with MDG, Inc. to provide lobbying and governmental relations services for a twelve month period at a cost of $48,000.00. Commissioner Baxley moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Kirkland. Commissioner Newsome asked if there are any results to confirm the effectiveness of this group. City Manager West said MDG, Inc.’s most successful role is in stopping the state legislature from passing laws that negatively impact us. He said our state level representatives feel this group is very effective and they work hand-in-hand with the ALM to minimize the negative impact on municipal governments in the state. Commissioner Barbaree said, while he concurs, is pleased with the group and will vote in favor of this item, he finds it unacceptable that no representative of MDG, Inc. is here today. In response to Commissioner Newsome’s inquiry, Mayor Schmitz said MDG, Inc. really helped us during the recruitment of Commercial Jet by working to pass legislation regarding tax at the airport. He said their assistance allowed us to be competitive with other airports. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-119 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), agreeing to retain the SoZo Group LLC to provide governmental affairs and economic development representation for a twelve month period at a cost of $5,000.00 per month. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Baxley. Mayor Schmitz said George Harris, who has been our lobbyist for many years, is now partnered with Ray Cheng and the Sozo Group LLC. He said they provide help in Washington and with recruiting of manufacturing. Commissioner Barbaree requested this group provide quarterly reports regarding congressional updates and said a representative from this group should have been present today. Commissioner Newsome noted that the cost for retaining this group has remained the same and asked if there is anything the Commission can do to enhance the group’s effectiveness. Mayor Schmitz said contact is made on a weekly basis and he will ensure quarterly reports are provided. Commissioner Newsome said Mr. Harris seemingly maintains constant contact with our group in Washington, D.C. and this is comforting, particularly when there is something that may negatively impact the area. He said Mr. Harris is diplomatic in his work. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-120 (recorded in Ordinance Book No._______at Page_______), appointing Anita Dawkins as a member of the Community Development Advisory Board. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Baxley and unanimously adopted.

Regarding the fiber optic bids, Commissioner Newsome asked where the new units will be placed to replace Wi- Fi communication. Interim I.T.

City Manager West said this system will provide interconnectivity and correct problems currently being experienced with the wireless network. Mr. Meredith clarified that the bid tab sheets reflect the word “Wi-Fi” in error and the fiber optic ring is actually replacing wireless links. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously carried.
