In Room, Task 1, 785, Pexas 75067. The purpose of the emergency meeting, emergency situation, necessitating this emergency meeting requires immediate approval of the item posted below. Approval of exemption of bidding for all replacement equipment and or all services needed to repair the Joseph A. Curl administration building when the amount of said equipment on services is C $25 this morning and we're here this afternoon to Recommend and approve money spent to repair this emergency and If that I need a motion to approve the $25,000 and otherwise the directive purchasing to execute the contracts I'll move for approval Just for the elements of spenders. I think we need to make a finding of an emergency. Okay. As a court and then we probably need at that point to approve the contract. Okay. Is there anybody here to brief us as to what the situation was so we can make that finding? David. David, come so hard. I'm saying, oh Danny's back there. Tell us what the emergency was Come up over here so we can hear Last night at about 930 a sprinkler head 90 90-gruze sprinkler head in a mechanical room just Nobody was in the building except Tom Tacker from information Services. The sprinkler head just popped off and just burst off, which they do occasionally. And by the time it set off the fire alarm, well it's a about a one and a half inch to two inch pipe. was a shoot in water up to 70 pounds pressure and it just went and went out town the fire department got there I got there down call text out there we finally discovered where it had burst off and got the water shut off it was up on the fifth floor in mechanical room the water just from flowing it came out and it just flows straight down all the way to the first floor. Everything's pretty much ruined. The mechanical room there where there's a bathroom on the other side of the wall. The fire department had to chop through there because they didn't understand where it was coming from. So they basically, since it was emerged, had to chop through the wall there to get to the valve. They didn't know that you could get to it down the hall, round the back. The water, since it came down, and got in some of the electrical components the bus duct. We made the decision to turn off the power to the building at the end, late last night, around midnight or so, so that the water, we, one surfer, was going to ruin the bus duct and it would blow up and like last year what we had happened and cost $7,000 or $80,000 to replace the bus duct. Because we're unsure that we made the decision to shut off the power to the building We've got a company there now evaluating it and Drawing out the bus stop and the running tests on it Conduct or test to make sure that it's gonna be okay when they turn the power back on It's not gonna now blow up the bus stop. However Because there's no power to the building, we couldn't run shop backs, carpet fans, so we can't do any mold prevention. OK. So it's your opinion that basically an emergency exists because the departments that work in that building are unable to occupy their space, and that this building needs to be repaired and an emergency man. That pretty much it. Yes, that's correct. Okay, Miss Gillis. Yes sir. And your opinion, does that qualify as an emergency? Yes sir. Okay, and just to confirm, I wanted to double check with you because I haven't looked at that provision in a while. But it's your opinion that we don't need to notify the media as to that we're having an emergency meeting. Is that correct? Yes, so the code provides that we notify in addition to the minimum to our posting that we've got that we notify any media outlet that has requested notice of any such emergency meetings. And we have through Frank, the administrator, we have no such notice on file or have any record of every ever having received such notice from any local or any of the media. And so, the notice provisions have not been provided to them because there is such no such request on file. So, did you post it to our agenda to our beforehand? Yes. More and more than to. And we've posted it over at the courthouse. Frank, yes, it was posted. It only 146. We've got a lot of posted. So that we posted on the internet. Yes. Yes, that's my yes, it went out. Yes, it did. Yes, it did. And both of us. All right. Any more questions? I think we covered her film. Okay. We have a motion. I'll second it. Is this to a finding, to make an, to find an emergency? And then we do. I wasn't. You were able to do that first. I was able to be the one who made the motion. Okay, we'll draw the motion. Okay. We did. Did the emergency find and prove the contract? Okay. approve the contract. Okay we did define the emergency. Right okay so I would I would move that based on the information from facilities that their emergency exists. Okay. And that we need to basically based on that approve the contract and then after that we'll consider the contract. I'll second that motion. All in favor? Aye. Because if this is an emergency we're holding our meeting here in Louisville and we only have three quick members commissioners myself commission Mitchell and Commissioner Coleman present now we need approval of Arthur Razz and the director purchasing to execute the set set contracts. So move. We'll have a motion second. Okay. Is there any further discussion? Just want to make sure it's a general approval to exempt because we don't know what contracts are coming up. We know we'll have one, probably over 100,000. We've already ordered all the computer equipment at about 70,000, but we're able to do that off contract. So that's saying this, but there's several other small ones out there and we don't know if we may have two or three others. And this one, I mean, you sure from the beginning you did miss my next bid aye. But people like yourself getting back in your office better than you. And also, the manager has been in the building all day. Their little upset that we've not been drying out the building so far. They've been less than not and worked all night, but they've not been there today because we're not able to contract for the rest of that work. They said it's cost us more money the longer we wait because that water is just sitting there. And that's the contract that we expect to be close to 100,000. So as soon as you approve the quote should be in by 5 o'clock today and more contract for that today. They'll start tonight. It'll be five to six days, 24 hours a day to get it dry down. Derek, this is a question for you. How many floors were impacted? Uh, 5 floor out down the first floor. All the way down. Six. How long did it take before it got cut off, roughly? 20 minutes. Wow. About 15 or 20 minutes. Okay. Are there any other questions, statements? I just wanted to make a comment. I talked to Donna Stewart earlier about funding. She said that right now, if we take that up dependency, but since it is declared an emergency, she said an emergency was found that it could, it may be taken out of fund balance. Is there? Okay. So you know that we do have a fund in mechanism. Are there any other questions, statements, comments? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. No, not anything else? We did. Real quick. I missed that, but you did mention that there's, we have $10,000 in the bankable. No, I didn't. Yeah. The insurance is covering this, and that's why we're working with the adjusted. We're following their instructions on how to get our beds and these are broken the mess they can open. Okay. Thank you. You're 10,000. Okay. Thank you. And this meeting is adjourned.
