Item No. 9 -Ranking of Firms Ranking of firms for Management Plan for

Item No. IO -Budget Amendment Request a carryover from previous year's budget
for purchase of bullet proof vests
City Manager Saunders pulled item 2 for further explanation. That is a bid award for Legends Way Phase
3. Legends Way is a County impact fee road project the city entered into an agreement to administer that
job. We contracted for the engineering and put it out to bid. The County will be paying for it through
impact fees. There is a portion of the bid for utility improvements and we are responsible for the cost.
We would be awarding the bid to Boykin even though the Utility section of the line item was higher than
the 2 other bidders. It will be better to have one contractor on the job than multiple contractors. City
Engineer Richardson reviewed the bid and found it was not an alternate bid. The simplest way to not
have the additional $9,000 would be for us to do the Utility line project in-house. The Construction Crew
could do that project in house and could be done cheaper than the lowest bidder. Staff is proposing to
award the bid for the project however eliminating the utility line item from that bid and staff will take
care of that in-house.
Council Member Hogan moved to approve• seconded by Council Member Good~ame.
The motion passed with all members present voting "aye".
Council Member Mullins moved to approve the balance of the consent agenda; seconded

NEW BUSINESS
Event Request - US Hydrofoil Association
Assistant City Manager Gray introduced Mr. Brad Scott. The event requested is to organize a
tournament to pull boats up on our beach at Waterfront Park.
Brad Scott was present to request approval.
Mayor Turville asked City Manager Saunders if Council would have to take action to open the beach for
this event. City Manager Saunders confirmed the beach is the request. Mayor Turville would like to see
him return with more notice and when the beach is ready.
Council Member Berlinsky suggested getting onto the boats from one of the docks.
City Manager Saunders noted there is not a problem with doing the event as long as it is not within the
bollard area. It is not a problem to load and unload at a dock.
Brad Scott stated docks are well above the water so it makes it awkward.
