Waste Connections - Price Adjustment based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) Solid Waste Contract Section 12.A Craig is making Council is aware of the increase that they are going to be doing. This will be up when the renewal happens. This is within the contract also. Craig stated that this will go on the next meeting and will be in Executive Session for council to discuss. The increase is 4.1 percent increase and will go on the water bill. B. U.S. Appropriations Committee - FY23 - Community Project Funding Opportunity - Congressman Marc Veasey  Craig stated that he got notice from Marc Veasey's office that they have opened up the United States Appropriations Committee for the Community Project Funding again and that we do qualify and they are requesting any projects that we wish to submit. The deadline for his was Friday so Craig only had a few days to put something together. Craig did take in consideration while submitting this on our CIP Plan and other things that have been discussed and the project he submitted focusses on Storm Drainage Improvements along South Race Street. He did also ask the City Engineer to draft a Conceptual opinion with probable cost with that. Craig also wanted to inform council that a total storm drainage overhaul on Race Street and Christie Avenue is well over Five Million Dollars. The portion of this Stag Grant would require to provide a twenty percent match and we are not n any position to provide that. Craig then asked our Engineer what would be a more beneficial project , on Race or Christie and he recommended Race Street because it would capture the water and prevent a majority of it flowing to Christie. This project for Race Street is just over three million dollars and that side of the project is what was submitted. When this goes through then we will get back with council on how we will get that twenty percent for this project in the event of the approval. With this project submission the City Engineer recommends to replace the water-lines underneath Race as well as the Sewer lines and Craig does have those cost estimates and closer to Budget we will talk more about that. The Storm Drainage Project would be from Enon to Everman Parkway on Race, all of South Race Street. This will not solve the flooding but will help storm drainage in that area. Council will be updated as Craig gets information on this submittal with Marc Veasey's office. 9. EXECUTIVE SESSION 10. CITY MANAGERS REPORT A. Update related to ongoing projects Craig updated that the City Hall Annex is moving right along and he stated that the invites to the Ribbon Cutting have been sent out and if they need to add anyone to the list to let him know. Exterior is nearly complete, the water tap and fire suppression system is scheduled sometime later this week or next week. The rest of the progress will be hidden inside. Things are progressing right along. Craig also updated that all the parking lots are under construction. Pittman Park parking lot will be complete by tomorrow and they have already began to cut out for the Mobile Food Truck parking lot. Memorial Park parking lot is about 75% complete. Then, they will move to Johnson Park and behind the Police Department. Also, Christopher Drive is expected to begin right around May 4th-6th. This will take about two weeks for completion. Then they will move to Race Street around May 23rd and this will take another additional two weeks. All of this will be complete before the Ribbon Cutting for the new City Hall Annex.
