Mr. Matt Bernhardt, Director of Public Works and Utilities, for this Mr. Bernhardt stated the City of Gastonia's Two River's Utilities (TRU) has been working for some time on the Southl Fork Phase II Regional Sewer Project - ai regional sewer project that will connect the Town of McAdenville and] Pharr Yarns to the TRU wastewater system viai force main which will then allow their aged wastewater treatment facilities to be decommissioned. Mr. Bernhardt noted that during the time we have been in design and survey and all the preparatory things, the construction market place activity has picked up and we are fairly certain that the original estimate we had for the project of $2.8 million is probably now in the range of $3.4 resultingi in a gapi int thei funding necessary to complete the project. Mr. Bernhardt noted The Clean Water Statel Revolving Fund Loan Program has additional funding available toi fillt the funding gap for the Project and has indicated that the Project is eligible for up to $3 Million in total loan funding. Bernhardt noted that the NC Department of Environmental Quality will allow for the completion of the Project to the benefit to all parties involved, and it will continue the regionalization and consolidation of wastewater flows and treatment in Gaston County through partnership and teamwork.

Mr. Bernhardt stated we did not reçeive funding directly for this project. An application was prepared and submitted on behalfofl McAdenville but with a very crowded list it Councilman Kirlin asked ift the costs willl be divided between Pharr Yarns and McAdenville and Two Rivers. Mr. Bernhardt stated that we have agreements in place that were approved by the Council sometime back with Pharr and McAdenville that will essentially pay the loan funds back over time. Mr. Bernhardt stated that we are also looking at additional funds for the statedi it willl bej paid back over time by Pharr Yarns and McAdenville. Councilman Kirlin asked if this would impact their rates. Mr. Bernhardt stated we have not considered ai rate increase specific to this but we are still working on the project. Mr. Bernhardt relief and as we complete thist research we will be bringing those back to you for might consideration. Councilman Gallagher asked why there was an increase in the project. Mr. Bernhardt stated that this was ani inherited project when we did the consolidation with Cramerton and we almost lost it during the economic meltdown, and then we lost a good portion of the design that had been completed to that point as well as all the survey data when the Engineering Company involved closed their doors. Wel had to start from scratch and these were events that were totally out of our  presentation.  approved.  didi not makei it.  but project  noted therei isap possibility ofs some additional fundst that could be obtained that  provide some  133-    Page 134  Page 134  REGULARCOUNCI: MEFTING-Mar.1.206  control, but wel have overcome those. Mr. Bernhardt statedt thati ini regards to Councilman Kirlin's question, the flows willj pay back the loans that we receive andt the grant does not] have to be paid back, but thej period oft time that it takes for that payback is al little longer than we would like fori it tol be, sO we are working tos seei ifthere iss some additional grant funding thati may be able to shorten that.

Mr. Bost noted that the crews have moved North toward Franklin and they are doing more of the water line and storm drain work underground and once all the underground work is completed, then the next thing would be the grading. Mr. Bost stated iti is very similar on the East side, as well as Titman Road, where that contractor essentially got all of the underground work done and there is nothing for them to do now until the ground dries for them to do the final grading and then build those lanes. Mayor) Bridgeman asked ift thes study was complete on the speed humps on Midwood near Hunter Huss. Mr. Bosts statedt there was al lot ofa activity out there, noting thatt there has alsol been ai request from the school to put speed humps on Edgewood, right beside the school.

Mr. Edl Munn, City Manager for this presentation.  Mr. Munn stated that he had passed these out the 2016 Strategic Planning Workshop Takeaways att thel last Council meeting and wanted to go overaf few things where he couldi report some progress and also to let Council know that all next week we would be reviewing the budget. Mr. Munn stated that during the Strategic Planning Workshop that we were very aspirational as a group and we wanted to do al lot oft things. Mr. Munn also notedt that now the challenge would be to quantify all oft this and bring it backt tot the City Council. Mr. Munn stated there are many great projects out Mr. Munn advised the first item is compensation and we are preparing ourselves going forward with the merit system and looking att that next year ort the year beyond. Mr. Munn noted that we were. looking at ane early March across-the boardi increase for employees but we ended the before coming back around to that. Mr. Munn stated the question is do we want to do this meeting and Councilman Gallagher stated we have the money available, $287,031, for the early March 19th Mr. Munn stated iti is not budgeted but it is available through our fund balance because we have done very well with our fund balance. Mr. Munn noted this advance is a one-time event. the total is $450,000 and the $287,031 to the general fund.

Councilman Kirlin seconded the motion. Councilman Humphries asked ift this was something we are going to try to do every year or what. Mr. Munn noted that right now we happen to have some extra money and pay has been an issue city wide and he thinks the timei isI right to do it ands stated it would be unlikely we would do it all Councilman Humphries stated he just wanted to be sure this was a one-time event this because obviously they deserve it and we have the funding, but he wants to be sure Mr. Munn noted there have been years when the raise came later in September due to have occurred July 1st and that is true with all local governments, cities, counties, and school boards. Mr. Munn noted thati is what yous should expect as the norm, not March. Council Kirlin stated that for clarification purposes is that your Manager'sb budget for this coming year will include a3 percent pay increase for all employees and we are just starting this early because we can financially affordi it and because we have hads several years in which wel have not been able to do as much for our employees that we would like to and now since we have this opportunity we are going to extend this tot the employees ont this one time basis. Mr. Munn stated that is correct. Mr. Munn noted you would not always do this but] I think thisi is exactly as Councilman Kirlin said and I think that is the way should explain it, that we can do it now and because we were not ablet to do as much as we would] have liked tol have done the last few years, this allows us to deal with our employees and as many of you) have said "thati isl how we our work done" and making sure that we take care of our employees and address that first get is Councilman Kellogg stated that he is really in favor of this and he feels it is important if we do have a little bit of extra funding to do this early to show our city employees how much we appreciate them. Councilman Kellogg noted that he knew there were many employee that have not] hada any sort ofraisei in several years, itl has been a difficult economy, andi ifthere iss something that we can do toj just say thank you and eveni ifiti isj just a couple of extraj paychecks, Iami in favor Councilman McAteer stated this does not have anything to do with the market studies where we  thet time.  year, employees  know this is a one-time thing.  concerns,  but It think for 90 percent of the years that we have had compensation increases, budget they  important.  oft that.  might make adjustments.  Mr. Munn stated thati is correct, thatj process is ongoing and thisi is not] part ofit.  Councilman McAteer asked about the lower paid employees and what the City was doing for them. Mr. Munn stated that the last two years wel have pushed dollars down at the lowest levels and we havel had as situation where wel have put those percentages ands some oft them have been] 4p percent or close to 4.5j percent andt then some of the other employees were getting 1 pretty It was appropriate to dot that coming out ofthe recession. Mr. Munn noted the reason we would) percent. like to return to the traditional way, which is that is what all of our competitors are doing. We were the only ones for those two years that pushed pay raises down to the lowest of levels for those employees. Mr. Munn stated that as we move forward in this, hopefully post-recession period, that we are competing with everyone else who is giving 3 or 2.5 percent raises sO when we hiring our midlevel people and others, wel have tol be careful that we stay in sync with the market. Mr. Munn noted that wel have alsol held the insurance costs and not passed those on and the insurance costs are coming to us for families and we do not pass that on. Mr. Munn stated we also have a wonderful clinict that our employees are ablet to access and that really helps many ofc our employees  high,  -135-    Page 136  Page 136  REGULAR COUNCILI MEETING- - March 1,2016  with modesti incomes. Mr. Munn stated we would continue to look at other things tol help those at Councilman Gallagher stated that the last two years we did try to help the little guy butI If feel that doing a 3 percent across the board helps everyone because we have all struggled with this Mayor Bridgeman stated that we had a motion and a second.

Due to the significant price increase, the City has looked to combine existing funding from two of the projects and apply to a single project. This would allow the City to fully fund one project or bring it within an acceptable amount for additional funding request. City staff recommends shifting all available funds from the three projects tot thel Franklin Blvd. project, due toi identifieds safety needs and likely impacts oft the I-85 widening on the interchange for the other two projects. This will result in a project with $991,000 in Federal funds, matched with $247,750 in City funds, for a total project budge of$1,238,750. The Committee voted unanimously (3-0) to recommend that the City Council implement the Franklin Blvd. sidewalk project by cancelling the Cox Road and] New Hope Road projects and transferring funding to the Franklin Blvd. project.

These items are collected the County at the Gastonia's Farmer's Market and other Gaston County convenience sites. by Many residents place these items att the curb for collection ask bulky waste and currently not have a procedure inj place to handle this type of collection. In the calendar year of we 2015 do Solid Waste staff forwarded 182 complaints to Code Enforcement to be processed as code Solid Wastes staff has coordinated with Gaston County to create a program that will benefit the City of Gastonia residents. Staff will collect these items as bulky waste special collection similar to! how we currently collect household appliances.
