OZARK CITY SPECIAL COUNCIL AGENDA

OZARK CITY HALL

October 10, 2016

5:10 p.m.

The Ozark Council met in special session on October 10 2016 at 5:10 p.m.  Present were Adam from Miller Boskus and Lack, and Jeff Gattis from Nabholtz, Mayor McNutt, Clerk Eveld, Alderpersons Hall, Holman, Anderson, Vicars, and Waters. Absent was Warden.

Mayor McNutt called the meeting to order and announced that the only item on the agenda was the multi-purpose building and location of the police and water departments and city hall.  He turned the meeting over to Jeff Gattis.  Jeff handed out a conceptual estimate, which was a budget proposal including the police department.

Jeff said after looking at various locations for the police department and finding issues with all of those, it was thought that since we own our current location, why not use the square footage here.  He said in the printout the costs are in narrative form so there is more detail.  He said the budget is for $1,760,112.00

He said if council agrees to move forward, the final phase would be bid out.   He noted that this is a budget and can be changed.  Vicars asked about the possibility of a grant to reroof the old part of city hall and jeff said we would need to move quickly if so.  Mayor McNutt said he would ask about that tomorrow.  

Susan challenged Jeff regarding the “design” of the roof.  She felt the roof was designed.  Jeff said that the roof is very much design and mandated by the state to be done that way.  

Jeff told the council that this is by far the most economical plan to date.

Victoria said it looks good to her and she said Devin was pleased with the designs.

McNutt said that city hall and water will split the costs of remodeling the two departments. The cost of the remodel for both would be $216,901.00.  Zolliecoffer said he would use construction funds for his part and Mayor McNutt said the city hall portion would come from the general fund.

Victoria wants to move ward.  Susan wanted to know if the grant Victoria mentioned was 50/50 and Victoria thought it was 80/20, but she wants sure.  She will check on that.  She also wanted to know if the fire department would be coming back later and asking for more money to complete its new station.  Kevin Eveld said that he needed a small satellite station and would use what money he had left to build his after the police used what they needed.

It was then discussed that the bond should cover the entire reroofing of the building.  

Vicars made a motion to approve the budget estimate as proposed and authorized moving on to the design phase.

Anderson seconded the motion.  On a roll call vote the following voted:  Aye: Anderson, Vicars, Waters, Hall and Holman.  There were no Nays.

Holman motioned to Adjourn seconded by Anderson.  On a roll call vote the following voted:  Aye: Anderson, Vicars, Waters, Hall and Holman.  There were no Nays.

The meeting adjourned at 5:35 p.m.
