Board of Directors Meeting 4 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M. 21a Proposed Resolution No. R-06-54 A resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION CONDEMNING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE NO. 4623 (1024 MINERAL),” was taken from the agenda and read by title only. A motion was made by Director Edwards, duly seconded by Director Maruthur, that the resolution be adopted as read. Upon discussion, Mr. Bart Jones explained this condemnation was removed from the Board agenda on January 6. The City has issued permits on this property every two years since 1999, and the basic condition of the structure has not changed. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City proceed with condemnation. Mr. George Bennett, 257 Peachtree Street, owner of the property, said he has ten or twelve properties in the City that he has been working on at the same time. Mayor Bush questioned how long he has owned this property, and Mr. Bennett said it has been since 1999. He commented that he purchased this piece of property because he also owns the properties surrounding it. Mayor Bush pointed out that he purchased the property in 1999, and the City has issued five permits to him since that time; but the structure still looks the same. Mr. Bennett explained that he has made some repairs on the inside of the house; and in the last couple of weeks, he has spent around $4,000 or $5,000 on it. Mr. Bart Jones said that he was up there today, and Mr. Bennett was working. He stated staff’s recommendation is to proceed with the condemnation, which allows him 30 days after that before the City could take any action. He added that he can bring it back to the Board before it is demolished if Mr. Bennett ceases doing any work. Director Edwards asked if he is going to be working on the structure next week, and Mr. Bennett said that he will be and the week after. He stated he has spent the last two weekends working on it. City Manager Kent Myers explained that the City cannot demolish any buildings without taking bids and bringing those bids back to the Board. If the Board approves the resolution tonight, that starts the process. The City then solicits bids, and it will be around 90 days before those bids Board of Directors Meeting 5 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M. are ready for Board consideration. In the meantime if Mr. Bennett has taken action on his part to repair the structure, then staff will bring a recommendation back to the Board not to accept any bids and continue to work with him. Mayor Bush questioned how long it will be before it is demolished if the Board votes to condemn this property. Mr. Jones explained that Mr. Bennett is allowed 30 days under the ordinance, and then it has to be bid out. Director Daniel asked what percentage of progress is he expected to do in 30 days, and Mr. Jones replied that he would like to see it secured in 30 days to be in compliance with the Vacant Structure Code. He added if it is secure and there is siding on it, then Mr. Bennett can take as long as he needs to finish the inside. Director Maruthur commented if a structure is boarded and secured, it can be kept like that for the next ten years. Mayor Bush then called for a vote on the motion to adopt; and upon roll call, the following voted “aye”: Directors Maruthur, Jones, Smith, Weatherford, Daniel, and Bush, total 6. Voting “no”: Director Edwards; motion carried. Whereupon the resolution was declared adopted. 21b Proposed Resolution No. R-06-55 A resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION CONDEMNING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE NO. 4623 (120 RUGG),” was taken from the agenda and read by title only. A motion was made by Director Jones, duly seconded by Director Maruthur, that the resolution be adopted as read. Upon discussion, Mr. George Bennett stated that he owns this property also and is in the process of making repairs. Mayor Bush then called for a vote on the motion to adopt; and upon roll call, the following voted “aye”: Directors Maruthur, Jones, Smith, Weatherford, Daniel, and Bush, total 6. Voting “no”: Director Edwards; motion carried. Whereupon the resolution was declared adopted. Board of Directors Meeting 6 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M. 22 Claim from Ms. Neva Nall, 118 Deerview Circle, for Water Damages Mr. Don Cochran, Utilities Director, advised that staff received a claim from Ms. Neva Nall, 118 Deerview Circle, for damages resulting from a water service line leaking to a meter at that address. He stated that staff’s recommendation is to deny the claim. He explained that on December 1, 2005, the Utilities Department approved reimbursements for damages at this address and their neighbor’s, at 116 Deerview Circle, in the amount of $1,424.47 for each address. Ms. Nall’s original claim was for $7,124.45; but the neighbors requested $1,424.47; therefore, staff thought it was fair to offer both customers the same damage claim. He explained that the Nalls first moved into the house in 2004; and during that time, they discovered they had a problem with under the house being very wet. They tried for several months to remedy the problem taking advice from different individuals who had made recommendations for french drains. In June 2005, they called the City; and Mr. Pat Watson, from the Public Works Department, investigated the problem and discovered that it was the water line leaking. At that time, a Water Department crew was dispatched; and a few days after that, the repair was made. Staff’s position is that had they known about this in 2004, they could have corrected it much earlier; and the damage would not have been as extensive. Ms. Neva Nall, 118 Deerview Circle, explained that Mr. Pat Watson from the City came out and told them they would have to do something with the mold. She contacted Mr. Cochran, and he asked her to get estimates from the mold company and submit those estimates. She said that she is asking for the City to pay for the removal of the mold. She commented that Mr. Watson informed her that the mold was already in the attic. She said they had already installed the french drain because they were told it was from springs. Director Daniel pointed out that it was approximately two years before they notified the City, and Ms. Nall said they did not know the origin of the water. However, someone came out and said that they had springs underneath the house; and the only way to fix them was to install a french drain. Mayor Bush questioned what prompted her to finally contact the City, and Ms. Nall said that they called after they had the french drain installed; and it was worse than it was previously. She stated the entire backyard was full of water, and the water was then coming out of the ground in the front yard, around the meter, and found that the meter was full of water. At that time, she contacted the City. She mentioned that Mr. Watson investigated it and discovered there were six gallons of water running out every three minutes and reported it. Director Daniel asked if they had a licensed plumber, and Ms. Nall stated they did; but none of them would attempt to make any repairs because they did not do that kind of work. Board of Directors Meeting 7 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M.  Director Daniel asked if anyone could trace it back to the meter, and Ms. Nall stated that no one knew what was wrong. Director Weatherford questioned how far on the City’s side of the meter was this leak, and Mr. Cochran said it was on the service line before the meter. Therefore, it would have been out in the street. Director Weatherford asked if his department determined that the water was following that service line, and Mr. Cochran advised that his department received a call from Mr. Pat Watson, engineering inspector, who did an investigation of the house. The Utilities employees made the repair, and the water stopped after that. He stated it was the service line running to her meter but was not running through her meter. Director Maruthur pointed out it was determined there was a service line leakage, and the City paid her for that repair. Mr. Cochran explained that Ms. Nall and her neighbor filed a claim at the same time. The neighbor’s claim was for $1,424.47, and he thought a good-faith gesture would be to pay both residents the same amount of money. However, Ms. Nall is asking for much more than that; and anything over $5,000 has to come to the Board for approval. Director Maruthur commented anything that came from the service line problem has been addressed. If there is a spring under the home, the City is not responsible for that. Mr. Cochran explained there was not a spring, but the service line leaking out in the street. He added that the water would migrate down the trench line and then resurfaced under the home. He said that it was the assumption of people, whom she hired to investigate, that there was a spring under the house. City Manager Kent Myers asked when the individuals came to check on her water, if they ever advised her to contact the City, which could have checked it free of charge. He added that every plumber in the City is aware of that and is curious why they did not tell her to contact the City. Ms. Nall said there was no reason to think it was that part of it because there was no water running through their meter. City Manager Kent Myers explained that the City is responsible for drainage, which would include spring water and potable water; and all of the local plumbers are aware of that. Director Daniel asked if there was any way of telling how long the leak had been there, and Mr. Cochran pointed out that it was before it got to the meter. Therefore, there was no way of knowing through any records or meter readings how long the water had been running. When Ms. Board of Directors Meeting 8 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M. Nall moved into the house in 2004, the water was already under the home at that time; and that is when she began to contact people to try to help her find the problem. A motion was made by Director Edwards, duly seconded by Director Weatherford, to deny the claim of Ms. Nall; and upon roll call, the following voted “aye”: Directors Jones, Smith, Weatherford, Edwards, Daniel, and Bush, total 6. Voting “no”: Director Maruthur; motion carried to deny the claim. 23 Proposed Resolution No. R-06-56 A resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 2006 ANNUAL PAVING PROGRAM,” was taken from the agenda and read by title only. A motion was made by Director Jones, duly seconded by Director Maruthur, that the resolution be adopted as read. Upon discussion, Mr. Steve Mallett, Public Works Director, explained that the paving program consists of six miles of paving on 20 streets and also includes two miles of milling on four streets. Last year, they had a budget that they reappropriated this year (remaining funds in the amount of $176,000). This year the City had $400,000 set aside in the budget for the paving program. The overall budget this year is $576,956.02; and the proposal covers paving some streets in each district and also a list of suggested alternates. Those streets will be used at staff’s discretion with the approval of the Board in case utility work precludes them from paving the streets that are listed. Mayor Bush asked what the budget was in 2005, and Mr. Mallett advised that it was approximately $575,000. Director Jones mentioned some of the streets in District 2 were not paved and questioned if those funds were still available. Mr. Mallett explained that is the rollover he mentioned, and those streets are still on the paving program. He noted that not only did they bring the funds forward from last year but the streets that were not paved from last year. Director Jones said that she had received a call regarding John Street, and Mr. Mallett advised that it is on the paving program. Director Jones stated the one on the list is from John to Pleasant to Palmetto, but this is from another section of John Street. She said that she will get that information to Mr. Mallett. Board of Directors Meeting 9 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M.  Mayor Bush then called for a vote on the motion to adopt; and upon roll call, the following voted “aye”: Directors Maruthur, Jones, Smith, Weatherford, Edwards, Daniel, and Bush, total 7; motion unanimously carried. Whereupon the resolution was declared adopted. 24 Proposed Resolution No. R-06-57 A resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION WAIVING CONSTRUCTION PERMIT FEES FOR GARLAND COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY FOR 2006,” was taken from the agenda and read by title only. A motion was made by Director Daniel, duly seconded by Director Edwards, that the resolution be adopted as read. Upon discussion, Mr. Mike Scott, Chief Building Official, stated this is to waive the permit fees for 2006; and they have proposed nine houses this year totaling approximately $3,000, which will be for the electrical, plumbing, mechanical and building fees. Mr. John Goodman, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity, expressed appreciation to the Board in waiving these permit fees. He stated the sole mission is to help as many low-income families move into decent, affordable housing. Director Edwards asked if the families are responsible for the upkeep and repair, and Mr. Goodman replied that they are. He added the houses are sold to them, and they assume a 20-year interest-free mortgage. They are homeowners and responsible for maintaining their homes. Director Weatherford commented there was some discussion about the storm water permit, and Deputy City Manager Lance Hudnell replied that he will have to check that ordinance since it is a separate ordinance to see if there is such a provision included. If it is not, then that ordinance would have to be amended. Director Smith said that although the request is to waive the fees, they are not waiving the inspections; and Mr. Mike Scott replied that is correct. He added all inspections will be made, and they are pulling permits as ususal; but the City will not collect the monies. Mayor Bush then called for a vote on the motion to adopt; and upon roll call, the following voted “aye”: Directors Maruthur, Jones, Smith, Weatherford, Edwards, Daniel, and Bush, total 7; motion unanimously carried. Whereupon the resolution was declared adopted. Board of Directors Meeting 10 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M. 25 Proposed Ordinance No. O-06-12 An ordinance entitled, “AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2003 EDITION OF THE MANUAL ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES,” was taken from the agenda for consideration.

The ordinance was then read for the first time by title only; and upon the question “Shall the ordinance be passed as read?” and upon motion of Director Weatherford, duly seconded by Director Edwards, that the ordinance be passed as read. Upon discussion, Mr. Steve Mallett, Public Works Director, advised this is the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). It governs all traffic standards with regard to signals, signs, etc. Mayor Bush then called for a vote on the motion to adopt; and upon roll call, the following voted “aye”: Directors Maruthur, Jones, Smith, Weatherford, Edwards, Daniel, and Bush, total 7; motion unanimously carried. Whereupon the ordinance was declared passed. 26 Proposed Ordinance No. O-06-13 An ordinance entitled, “AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT FOR SERVICES WITH GARLAND COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION; WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING; AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO,” was taken from the agenda for consideration.

A motion was made by Director Daniel, duly seconded by Director Edwards, that the rules be suspended and the ordinance be read for the first time by title only; and upon voice vote, the motion unanimously carried. The ordinance was then read for the first time by title only; and upon the question “Shall the ordinance be passed as read?” and upon motion of Director Daniel, duly seconded by Director Weatherford, that the ordinance be passed as read. Upon discussion, Director Maruthur stated that for many years, the City did not allow this because it is a private organization; and she supports this organization. However, she cannot support this ordinance because she believes the City should have a summer baseball program; and Parks and Recreation was in favor of that. Mayor Bush then called for a vote on the motion to adopt; and upon roll call, the following voted “aye”: Directors Jones, Smith, Weatherford, Edwards, Daniel, and Bush, total 6. Voting “no”: Director Maruthur; motion carried.

In reply to Director Edwards, Mr. Don Cochran, Utilities Director, advised that these will be ordered tomorrow and should have them in within 30 days. He added their existing equipment is 13 to 18 years old; and they cannot get repair parts for these computers. He stated that a meter Board of Directors Meeting 12 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M. reader will read between 300 and 400 meters a day; and on the radio system, that system can read 300 or 400 meters in two or three hours. Director Smith asked if they have been using these same handheld computers before, and Mr. Cochran advised that they have. He added it is the same company; therefore, it is compatible with the existing equipment. He mentioned these are the handheld computers that they bring in the afternoon and load them in a cradle which downloads the information to the billing system. Director Smith asked why the City is paying $2,425 for on-site installation and training if they are basically the same. Mr. Cochran explained this is an upgraded unit, and there will have to be some training on them. He said that part of the $2,425 is to have the factory representative come to Hot Springs; and there will be a charge for travel, accommodations, and meals. Deputy City Manager Lance Hudnell added that part of that is installation, and there will have to be some programming on-site. Mayor Bush then called for a vote on the motion to adopt; and upon roll call, the following voted “aye”: Directors Maruthur, Jones, Smith, Weatherford, Edwards, Daniel, and Bush, total 7; motion unanimously carried. Whereupon the ordinance was declared passed. OTHER BUSINESS 29 Board of Directors Items Director Edwards expressed appreciation to the Police Department for their traffic control at the race track. On behalf of the P.H.O.E.B.E. Board, Director Jones thanked the Convention Center for its work during the Black History program this past weekend, which had about 300 in attendance. Director Daniel expressed appreciation to the staff that was involved, along with Arkla Centerpoint Energy, for their efficiency in correcting some serious problems in the CBID No. 2 with the meter boxes where automobiles had pulled over them. He said he did not realize that the lids and boxes were fiberglass. He stated they were down below the sidewalk level; and people would park, get out of their cars, and trip. He reported the old boxes were jack hammered out, new boxes installed, and new concrete poured. Director Maruthur reported there was a work session regarding the rezoning by the fairgrounds on Higdon Ferry, which was very productive. Board of Directors Meeting 13 February 6, 2006 at 7:00 P.M.  City Manager Kent Myers advised that the contract between the Fair Board and the shopping center developer is 60 days. Staff’s intent is to try to bring it back to the Board two weeks from tonight. He reported that he talked to the traffic consultant, and they were meeting with St. Joseph’s Mercy Center today. If that meeting is successful, then he did not see any reason why it cannot be considered by the Board in two weeks. Director Maruthur commented that is was very productive, and there have been some articles and comments made that shaded it. She added that both parties involved want to work this out so this does not become another Central Avenue. Mayor Bush expressed appreciation to Director Maruthur for her comments at that meeting pointing out that her opening comments set the tone for the meeting. 30 City Manager’s Report City Manager Kent Myers gave the following report: 1. Three individuals have been selected for interviews for the Planning and Development Director, which will start Wednesday.
