Also Present: Clerk/Treasurer Strecker, Attorney Eddington, Engineer Harkins, Chief of Police Hurd, Building Official Estes and Deputy City Clerk Anaya. Mayor Varney called the meeting to order. Laura Halley led the Pledge of Allegiance. Mayor Varney stated that the Torrington High School girls golf team won the Wyoming 3A State Championship that was held at the Riverton Country Club in Riverton, Wyoming. He indicated that the win marks the first state championship victory in school history. The Trailblazers shot a 530 in the two day tournament and finished on top by a record 80 strokes over Lander. Caleigh Essert earned an individual state championship title and set not only a 3A state record, but also an all-class record in Wyoming with her total of 146. The Mayor and Council commended the team on their triumph. Members present were Coaches Jeff Halley and John Gibson, Laura Halley, and Caleigh Essert. Councilman Law moved and Councilwoman Hill seconded to approve the consent agenda which includes the minutes from the 09-18-18 Council meeting as published and all actions therein be ratified. Motion carried unanimously. Councilman Adams moved and Councilman Kelly seconded to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Varney presented for approval a request to consider the remaining half day of Christmas Eve Day (December 24, 2018) as a holiday for City of Torrington employees. He stated that per policy, only a half day on Christmas Eve Day is designated as a legal holiday for City employees and indicated that the manner in which the holiday days fall this year is the reason why the request is being presented for approval. Christmas Eve Day falls on a Monday and Christmas Day on a Tuesday, and since Christmas Day is designated as an all-day legal holiday, it would be prudent to approve the remaining half day of Christmas Eve Day as a holiday and resume business as usual on Wednesday, December 26, 2018. Councilman Law moved and Councilwoman Hill seconded to approve Monday, December 24, 2018 as an all-day holiday for City of Torrington employees. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Varney stated that the City Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, January 1, 2019 will need to be changed to Wednesday, January 2, 2019 due to the holiday, New Year’s Day, falling on Tuesday. Councilman Adams moved and Councilman Law seconded to approve the Council meeting date change from Tuesday, January 1, 2019 to Wednesday, January 2, 2019. Motion carried unanimously. Attorney Eddington read by title AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND RE-ENACTING SECTION 18-44- 020 OF THE TORRINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE, 2018 REVISIONS, RELATING TO THE CITY OF TORRINGTON, WYOMING, AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP BY ESTABLISHING “R-4” ZONING FOR A TRACT OF LAND. Councilman Kelly moved and Councilman Adams seconded to approve the ordinance on second reading as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Engineer Harkins presented for approval an Agreement for Professional Services with M.C. Schaff and Associates, Inc. He stated that the agreement is to provide services in response to a Request for Qualifications that the City advertised on August 8, 2018. The agreement will retain M.C. Schaff and Associates under a five (5) year contract to perform engineering services for the Torrington Municipal Airport. Engineer Harkins indicated that the selection committee’s recommendation to retain M.C. Schaff and Associates is due to their familiarity with the airport and the fact that they are currently performing very well in that capacity. Councilman Adams inquired if any modifications had been made to the proposed agreement than what had previously been approved. Attorney Eddington responded that a provision titled “Attorney Fees” had formerly been omitted, therefore it was added. Councilman Kelly questioned Article 5.2 of the agreement referencing Attachment “A” and asked what the attachment entailed. Engineer Harkins replied that Attachment “A” will outline M.C. Schaff and Associates’ schedule of prices and that those rates will not be available until after the approval of the agreement. Councilman Kelly asked why the Mayor and Council would approve the agreement without a completed Attachment “A” being included. Engineer Harkins responded that the agreement is strictly a contract to perform services, it is not financially binding. Costs will be determined as work is established and addendums to the agreement will be created to cover the scopes of the work identified. The Mayor and Council will then have the opportunity to review and approve or deny the addendums as they are created and presented for approval. Councilwoman Hill moved and Councilman Law seconded to approve the Agreement for Professional Services with M.C. Schaff and Associates, Inc. as presented. Motion carried unanimously. The bills from 09-19-18 to 10-02-18 were presented for payment. Councilwoman Hill moved and Councilman Adams seconded to approve the bills for payment as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
