Mayor Schmitz invited George Harris, the City of Dothan’s lobbyist and partner
with the SoZo Group LLC, to provide an update to the Commission. Mr. Harris
discussed upcoming elections impacting the state, a regulatory proposal affecting
municipally owned gas districts, local economic development and working with the
Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce. Commissioner Barbaree asked Mr. Harris if
he knows Congresswoman Martha Roby’s stance on drones and how that will play
at Fort Rucker. Mr. Harris said he does not know but will be glad to ask her about
this issue. He said that she has been very supportive of our military in trying to
increase anything that will help Fort Rucker so he would expect her to be
supportive of this as well.
Commissioner Newsome asked if we have received any input concerning
registration numbers for CJET Academy. Mayor Schmitz said there have been
over 500 applicants and he believes this is a great pool to fill the sixty jobs
available at Commercial Jet Services, LLC. He said this pool can hopefully be
used by Alabama Industrial Development Training for other training opportunities
to fill positions at Glasstream Boats and Panhandle Converter Recycling.

number of people now using the trails.

with weeds, scrub, wild bushes, grass and other vegetable growth as injurious to
the health, safety and welfare of the community as nuisances and calling for a

meeting on October 21, 2014. Commissioner Dorsey moved for adoption, motion
seconded by Commissioner Kirkland and unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-240 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), declaring certain properties which are overgrown
with weeds, scrub, wild bushes, grass and other vegetable growth as injurious to
the health, safety and welfare of the community as nuisances and ordering that the
properties be abated. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion
seconded by Commissioner Barbaree. In reference to Resolution No. 2014-239,
Commissioner Barbaree said this is the third time the detention pond at Princeton
Place has not been cut. He said the overgrowth results in the pipe getting stuck
which causes flooding to properties on South Woodburn Drive. He said we need to
be in contact with the person responsible for cutting this detention pond and he
wants it cut. City Manager West said a process to speed up the enforcement
procedure by handling more issues administratively is being worked on now and
will be brought before the Commission soon. There being no further discussion,
the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-241 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), confirming the cost incurred in notification and
abatement of certain properties determined to be nuisances by Resolution Number

Secret Service to participate in the U.S. Secret Alabama Electronic Crimes Task
force for reimbursement of overtime expenses totaling $2,500.00 by increasing the

Minutes of the Board of Commissioners – September 16, 2014, continued.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-244 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), entering into an agreement with the Federal Bureau
of Investigation for reimbursement of overtime expenditures related to the Central
Alabama Safe Streets Task Force in the amount of $17,374.25 and appropriating
funds for said expenditures. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion
seconded by Commissioner Baxley and unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-245 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), accepting funding from the Enterprise/Ozark

Selective Traffic Enforcement, Drive Sober, and Click It or Ticket and appropriating
funds for said expenditures. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion
seconded by Commissioner Newsome and unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-246 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), approving the proposed expansion to the facility
boundary of the Dothan Landfill located at 1290 Burkett Road to approximately
536 acres. Commissioner Barbaree moved for adoption, motion seconded by
Commissioner Kirkland. Mayor Schmitz acknowledged Bobby Lewis has signed up
for privileges of the floor regarding this item, and he explained that although Mr.
Lewis is running for office, he is being allowed to speak at the podium today
because this is an issue he has been speaking on for years. Mr. Lewis said he
was chosen to be the spokesperson for the community and the vice-spokesperson
was unable to attend today. He said the community as a whole stands opposed to
the continued expansion of the landfill into their neighborhood. He said he
understands the economics, but for those who live in the area, it depreciates land
and home values, the quality of life, use of their property and future values for
children and grandchildren. He asked the Commission to reconsider this issue. He
noted the property recently purchased by the City is about 180 acres and he
requested clarification of the area encompassed by the 536 acres. Mayor Schmitz
explained this proposal is to expand the purchased property to the existing landfill
property boundaries. Commissioner Newsome expressed concern with the
continued impact, not only on the residential area, but also on the industrial and
commercial development of the eastern part of the City. He said he believes that if
we follow through with alternatives, this can be alleviated. He said that with a
commitment and a promise of corrective action, he thinks this Commission is
willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure this waste does not remain a part of
the City limits. Commissioner Dorsey said this property is located in his district and
he has reconsidered the expansion. Mayor Schmitz said, while this is the best next
step, we do need to look at long-term solutions. He said he hopes our City will look
at a recycling program that keeps 80-90% of solid waste out of the landfill.
Commissioner Ferguson asked for clarification regarding the request today as it
relates to the expansion process. Public Works Director Jerry Corbin explained
that this resolution is part of the Alabama Department of Environmental
Management’s order for advancing the permit. Mr. Corbin confirmed for
Commissioner Ferguson that the proposed expansion is currently in the design
phase and it will take approximately one and a half years before the landfill could
have an active cell. City Manager West confirmed for Commissioner Ferguson that
the final design will be voted on at a later date. Commissioner Newsome said he
has looked at Alabama Statute 22-27-48 which includes six criteria to be
considered and we are having a negative impact on these areas. He said this
statute has existed for years and we have been doing the same thing in the same
place with the same promises and no results. Commissioner Ferguson said he is
not aware of any promises that have been made, but he does know the
Commission has looked at all the options and all decided when they bought the
property that this is the most economical and best solution. There being no further
discussion and upon the motion being put to vote, those voting “yea,” were
Schmitz, Kirkland, Ferguson, Barbaree and Baxley; “nay:” Dorsey and Newsome.
The motion was carried by the majority of five "yeas" to two “nays.”
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-247 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), entering into an agreement with Wiregrass
Rehabilitation Center, Inc., to provide maintenance services at an annual cost of
$465,206.79 (plus approximately $17,000.00 per year for Rip Hewes Stadium

Cleanup). Commissioner Newsome moved for adoption, motion seconded by
Commissioner Kirkland. Commissioner Barbaree said the lights at Pittman Field
need to be left on after the football games until everyone is in their vehicles. City
Manager West requested Leisure Services Director Elston Jones to note this.
Commissioner Baxley asked that this also be considered for other City facilities
and parks. City Manager West said he will discuss this with Mr. Jones. There
being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-248 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), entering into an a contract, awarding the base bid
and alternates 1 and 2, and issuing a Notice to Proceed to Old House Specialists,
LLC of Montgomery, Alabama, for the Historic Window Restoration for Alfred
Saliba Family Services Center in the amount of $155,900.00. Commissioner
Newsome moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Kirkland. City
Manager West clarified for Commissioner Dorsey that this project does not include
the portion of the property utilized and maintained by Dothan City Schools. City
Manager West pointed out that this is Community Development Block Grant funds
and the building is an historical structure; therefore, the wood windows must be
preserved. Commissioner Newsome inquired into why there was only one bidder.
General Services Director Randy Morris explained that there are other companies
throughout the country that specialize in this type of work but the size of the job did
not merit their travel. There being no further discussion, the resolution was
unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-249 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), amending Resolution No. 2014-62 with AssetWorks
Appraisal for appraisal services on all City insured buildings by increasing the
agreement amount by $7,590.00 for a total cost of $34,985.00. Commissioner
Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Newsome.
Commissioner Baxley inquired about the addition of 66 structures and asked if this
has an effect on the original bids submitted. City Manager West explained the
insurance industry has changed the way they look at campuses in that they now
appraise and value each structure separately, instead of as a whole. He said the
contract was bid on a price per building basis. Mr. Morris confirmed and added
that all bidders based their quote on the same number of buildings and the price
per building remains the same. City Manager West confirmed for Commissioner
Newsome that all City owned buildings are insured. There being no further
discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-250 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), awarding the bid, entering into a contract, and
issuing a Notice to Proceed to Donald Smith Company for the refurbishment of
Water Well Numbers 2, S-5, 16, 19, and 27 and Alternate Bid Chemically Clean
Well Number 16 for the sum of $379,479.00. Commissioner Kirkland moved for
adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Barbaree. City Manager West said
this is our annual water well maintenance program. Commissioner Barbaree said
he is glad this contract was awarded to a local company. There being no further
discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-251 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), accepting the proposal of McGriff, Seibels &
Williams, Inc. and entering into an agreement with Lincoln National Life Insurance
Company to provide Voluntary Group Long-Term Disability and Accident
Insurance for City employees at no cost to the City. Commissioner Kirkland moved
for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Ferguson and unanimously
adopted. Commissioner Newsome said this agreement appears to only cover
workers through age 80. Josh Robertson, Representative of Lincoln National Life
Insurance Company, said there is a minimum amount of coverage available to
every employee regardless of age. He advised that employees over the age of 70
have a maximum twelve month benefit available to them. There being no further
discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-252 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), accepting the proposal of McGriff, Seibels &

Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-253 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), entering into an agreement with Sungard Public
Sector for software development to interface AFLAC Open Enrollment system to
the City’s existing Payroll/HR system in the amount of $8,000.00. Commissioner
Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Baxley and
unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-254 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), entering into an agreement with CenturyLink Sales
Solutions, Inc. for metro Ethernet service at Andrew Belle Community Center,
Walton Park, and Eastgate Park for a thirty-six month period at a cost of $269.00
per month, per location. Commissioner Newsome moved for adoption, motion
seconded by Commissioner Kirkland. Commission Barbaree questioned why we
are entering into a thirty-six month agreement with CenturyLink when his
understanding is the phone system in its entirety comes up for bid after the first of
the year. Interim Information Technology Director Robb Meredeth confirmed the
plan is to bid out those circuits before the end of the calendar year. Mr. Meredeth
explained that the reason for this agreement is to get these facilities, which are
currently on a wireless connection that has degraded over the years, on a circuit
as quickly as possible. He said thirty-six months is the minimum contract term limit
available. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-255 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), declaring certain personal property as obsolete and
no longer needed for public or municipal purposes and authorizing the disposal of
said property by whatever means is determined to be in the best interest of the
City. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by
Commissioner Baxley. Commissioner Barbaree noted that this resolution includes
language stating “to dispose of the said property through trade, auction, donation,
or in the City’s landfill.” He said the “the City’s landfill” should not be included in the
resolution. There being no further discussion, the resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-256 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), amending various accounts in the 2014 Fiscal Year
Budget. Commissioner Kirkland moved for adoption, motion seconded by
Commissioner Baxley and unanimously adopted.

No._______at Page_______), approving payment of invoices for the month of
August, 2014 in the amount of $16,503,913.70. Commissioner Kirkland moved for
adoption, motion seconded by Commissioner Ferguson. Commissioner Newsome
said this has been one of the most expensive months we have had. City Manager
West explained that this month included three payroll periods, which also
increased insurance contributions, and electrical payments are higher because of
the heat. Commissioner Barbaree noted that the total payment to the Retirement
Systems of Alabama this fiscal year is $12,793,118.66. There being no further
discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mayor Schmitz introduced Resolution No. 2014-258 (recorded in Ordinance Book
