Alderman Hall congratulated Chief Middleton and staff on the accomplishment and asked with this rating will the home owners in the City of Savannah receive a lower fire rating.

Mayor Jackson stated the new rating will take effect on December 1st. Mayor Jackson asked Chief Middleton to introduce his command staff. Present were: Cpt. Ira Harper, Asst. Chief Ben Morris, Battalion Chief Thad Nixon, Asst. Chief Curtis Wallace, Battalion Chief William Handy and Mark Keller, Public Information Officer.

In preparation for the installation of a traffic control signal at the intersection of Bull and E. 63rd Streets, Traffic Engineering staff reviewed the current Code to ensure that it is up to date for signalized intersections. It was found that not all of the traffic control signals in Savannah had been established in the Code appendix prior to placing them in operation. It is therefore proposed to include the missing signals as well as add the signal for Bull and 63rd Streets. Recommend updating the City Code by adding traffic control signals at the following intersections: • Abercorn Street (SR 204) and Arts Drive • Abercorn Street (SR 204) and Truman Parkway • Abercorn Street (SR 204) and Abercorn-White Bluff Connector • Airways Avenue and Gulfstream Road • Airways Avenue and Gulfstream Facility Driveway • Apache Avenue and Fulton Road • Bull Street and 63rd Street • Dean Forest Road and Robert B. Miller Road • Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Hall Street • Montgomery Street and 55th Street • Victory Drive and Dixie Avenue • White Bluff Road and Abercorn-White Bluff Connector 17  OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF SAVANNAH CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 21, 2014 The traffic signals were either installed by the Georgia Department of Transportation or the City and met all of the required warrants. The City-installed traffic signals were funded through the Capital Improvement Program. Approved upon a motion by Alderman Shabazz, seconded by Alderman Hall and unanimously carried, per the City Manager’s recommendation. Ordinance to cover will be drawn up for presentation at the next meeting of Council. “No Trucks” on Adel, Coleman and Lamar Streets, and a Parking Restriction on Lamar Street North of Staley Avenue. The Traffic Engineering Department has received complaints from residents on Adel Street concerning commercial truck traffic traveling through their neighborhood including a truck tractor parking on Lamar Street at its dead end immediately north of Adel Street. Adel, Coleman and Lamar Streets are residential streets located in the Tatemville neighborhood. Residents on Adel Street have complained about commercial truck traffic traveling through their neighborhood and a truck tractor parking on Lamar Street where it dead ends approximately 20 feet north of Adel Street. Traffic Engineering has investigated these concerns and has determined that the subject streets are not suitable for truck traffic due to their residential character, nor are they suitable for parking a truck tractor. The streets were constructed for residential traffic purposes and are not intended for continuous truck traffic and truck parking, both of which occur on a regular basis. Recommend that truck traffic be prohibited on Adel Street, Coleman Street north of Staley Avenue to Adel Street, and Lamar Street north of Staley Avenue to its dead end. Traffic Engineering also recommends that parking be prohibited along Lamar Street from Staley Avenue northward a distance of approximately 270 feet to its dead end. Alderman Hall asked if there was an ordinance in the City Code which states parking of tractor trailers are not allowed to park in residential neighborhoods. Mayor Jackson stated yes there is and suggested he provide the information to the City Manager so the matter can be investigated. Approved upon a motion by Alderman Shabazz, seconded by Alderman Sprague and unanimously carried, per the City Manager’s recommendation. Ordinance to cover will be drawn up for presentation at the next meeting of Council.

Change Order No. 1 with United Grounds Maintenance Services, Inc. – Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. The Savannah Airport Commission requests approval of Change Order No. 1 with United Grounds Maintenance Services, Inc. in the amount of $65,079.25 for the Airport Restroom Improvements project. The original bid for the project was $95,890.00, which included wall tile replacement, new foyer covering, and new restroom fixtures for six restrooms located in the ticket lobby and baggage claim. During the submittal process, it was found that the specified tile was discontinued and could not be obtained for use on the project. In order to keep the job moving, the contractor was asked to submit a similar tile which would match the existing restroom décor. Unfortunately, after several tile submittals, there was no close substitute and the contractor was advised that the Airport intended to work with an interior design group to come up with a new pattern. The contractor stated that they intended to work with the Airport and that they would maintain their direct costs for the other materials to be used on the job. 22  OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF SAVANNAH CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 21, 2014 A final tile style and layout was approved by the Airport Commission and revised drawings were submitted to the contractor for estimating the costs associated with the amended scope of work. Because of the new tile layout, there were additional costs for cutting and installing the different sized tile and replacing the foyer wall fabric covering with a more durable tile surface. There were also deductions to the original contract by not replacing the existing toilet partitions and foyer wall fabric. The net additive cost for the revised scope totaled $28,377.90 which would bring the new contract amount to $124,267.90. As part of the Airport Modernization Program, it was decided that upgrading all of the restrooms to match would be feasible and the remaining four restrooms located in the concourse should, at least, have the foyer areas wall fabric removed and replaced with the same tile scheduled to be installed in the original six restrooms. If installed now the risk of not having the same style tile in stock would not be an issue. The total cost for this work is $36,701.35 bringing the overall cost of the project to $160,969.25. Recommend approval. Purchase of Two Ford SUV Interceptors – Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. The Savannah Airport Commission requests approval to purchase two Ford SUV Interceptors from J.
