I have asked council Member Blackhurst if you would read this proclamation. He is part of the Youth Commission has been for a couple years and Council Member Blackhurst, are you ready? Yes, I am. Thank you very much, Mayor. Suicide Prevention, Education, Awareness, Knowledge Week. Whereas Colorado is ninth in the nation for suicide deaths, and whereas suicide is now the second leading cause of all deaths in the state of Colorado among youth between the ages of 10 and 24, and whereas 23% of Colorado high school students, educated feeling sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more during the 12 in the past, and we're looking at the concerns that we've been looking at and we're looking at the concerns that we've been looking at and we're looking at the concerns that we've been looking at and we're looking at the concerns that we've been looking at and we're looking at the concerns that we've been looking at and we're looking at the concerns that we've been looking at making life saving help and further traumatizing survivors of suicide. And whereas the Brighton Youth Commission stands in tends to expand the citywide suicide prevention efforts and believe suicide prevention should be developed and encouraged. And whereas together we can increase awareness of suicide prevention, decrease its frequency, and provide hope for survivors and build a caring supportive community. Now therefore, Gregory Mills, Mayor of the City of Brighton on behalf of City Council, is hereby proclaim April 22nd through May 2nd, 2020 as suicide prevention, education, awareness and knowledge speak weak in the city of Brighton. Data this 21st day of April 2020. Thank you, Councilmember Blackhurst for reading that to the record. Mr. Falcoburg, it looks like Tony Russell may be here to talk about this tonight. I'm going to go back to the next slide. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, Council for your time tonight. It's good to see everybody's faces virtually in a while since I've seen everybody. So I hope everybody's staying healthy and staying, wearing this crazy time. Before I turn it over to Reagan, I'd just like to say we're so excited to be doing some activities for Speak Week virtually next week. If I'm completely honest, when all of this first started happening, I had conversations with the Youth Commission about there's not going to be school. We can have gatherings and masses and so it looks like we're going to have to be counseling, speak week. So thankful for both my team and the Youth Commission who really said, absolutely not. Even though we're apart, we need to be together in this and we need to stay connected. So the youth commission and Sydney and Abby and I have been meeting a couple times a week in order to make sure to come up with some activities that could be done virtually in order to carry out speak week, our nine-dannual speak week. So I'll go ahead and turn it over to Reagan now. Thank you. Good evening, Mayor and Council. First of all, I just want to thank you guys for your continued support of the speak program. We couldn't hope to be where we are today without it. As Tonya said early on, we weren't planning on having speak this year. School had already been canceled and then we also knew that it wasn't likely we'd be able to have our normal 5K walk event. But as the commission looks closer at the situation, it became clear to us that suicide prevention and mental health awareness is more important now than ever. Stress is really high and honestly things are just kind of crazy. So the Brent Youth Commission worked very hard but together, a week's worth of activities that can all be done completely virtually and remotely. We hope you can join us for next Saturday's 5K virtual walk event information on this walk, structure, signing up and that sort of thing. That can all be found on rightnewcommission.org. Thank you. Thank you, Reagan. Thank you, Tanya. Thank you for putting the speak week together. Do we have a motion? Councilmember Blackhurst? Thank you, Mayor. I would be very happy and proud to make a motion to adopt this resolution. Thank you, Councilmember Blackhurst and Councilmember Watts. Also as an alternate on the Youth commission. I see your hands up. I would be honored to second this. All right. We have a proper first and a proper second. Any other discussion before we vote. Okay. Let's go ahead and roll call vote. Mayor miss. Yes. Mayor pro tem johnston. Yes. Council member Blackhurst. Yes. Council member Christian. Yes. Council member Humbert. Yes. Council member Jordan Ellie. Yes. Council member Pollock. Yes. Council member Watts. Yes, with an exclamation point. You're under the motion passes 8 to 0. Great. Thank you. Thank you, Tonya. Thank you, Reagan. Thank you to the whole youth commission for continuing this despite all the challenges going on with this virus. I think speak week is even more important. We need to show that people are loved. I'll show that people matter regardless of our situation that we're in right now. So thank you very much. Next on the agenda, public invited to be heard on matters not on the agenda. Have anyone that signed up Madam City clerk and also Kristen. I do not have anything you're on. Okay. And Mary, don't see anyone with their hands up, but you might want to just double check if they want to raise their hand. So anybody listening virtually right now, if you're on the zoom. Application. There's an area to raise your hand. If need to speak on matters not on the agenda for five minutes. If you are listening on the telephone you hit star nine. And if we don't hear from you then we will move on. I'll give it another couple seconds here and I'm not aware of anybody else. Okay. Next on the agenda, resolutions item 8A, resolution of the City Council of the City of Brighton, Colorado, continuing the Declaration of Local Disaster Emergency of the City of Brighton, Colorado. Mr. Falconberg, do we have any addition or anything to present on this tonight? We do. We have our emergency management coordinator, Stephanie Hackett. She's here to present. This is really just continuing this on so that we can keep up with the government requirements for funding. Stephanie can explain that. If you have any questions, the city attorney or I can answer any other questions that Stephanie doesn't answer. All right. Do we have Stephanie cute up yet? Where is Stephanie? She is on her way over. Oh, there she is. There she is. It's got to unmute you. You are muted still Stephanie. I'll wait for you now. Yeah, okay. Oh perfect. Just to make sure it works. So as Mr. Calcimber could have mentioned, we've got a resolution to go ahead and extend our existing emergency declaration. So kind of a new and different thing that we can have this in place for more than 30 days, more in place for longer than a predetermined amount of time so that we can have them placed for all of our emergency purchases and our emergency actions for the foreseeable future. And then we'll bring it back to you when we feel like we're sufficiently into that recovery period and ask you to rescind it at that time. So rather than putting a hard date on it, we're asking to just go ahead and keep it in place so that we can continue to operate, make purchases and make emergency decisions as we need to as a city. And we'll be coming back to you. Hopefully not too long for now, but eventually we'll be coming back to you to go ahead and risk in this order because it will eventually need to be rescinded. So that's just kind of the basics there, but certainly available for questions and, you know, would like to hear your thoughts about it. Questions for Stephanie. Anybody? Okay, just for the public's knowledge, as Stephanie said, it's just, it's just, you know, it's simply for funding. If we need that, as that is a requirement for FEMA and other entities of the government. So thank you, Stephanie. And it does allow us to give us a little bit more of the way in making decisions. And as we're starting to bring the public back, as we're starting to say, employees back over time. It does also give us a little bit of leeway with dealing with our code and our existing bylaws so that if we do need it and we may not, but if we do need it, it does allow us some wiggle room there to make decisions as we need to as we continue to address this pandemic going forward. Great, thank you for clarifying. Councilmember Jordan Nellie. Well, I know I speak for everyone to say thank you very much for all the hard work. Would you like it to make a motion while you're talking? I've never made a motion. I move that we, what? Approved item eight A. Proof item 8a. Proof item 8a. Awesome. Do the proper first. We have a second. Council member Humber. I so many hands went up at the same time. Sorry. You are muted. Yeah, I just thought I second that motion. Right, we have a proper first and a second. If there's no more discussion, I don't see more hands, let's go ahead and roll call vote. Mayor Mills. Yes. Mayor Pro Tem Johnston. Yes. Council Member Blackhurst. Yes. Councilmember Humbert. Yes. Councilmember Jordan-Elli. Yes. Councilmember Pollock. Yes. Councilmember Watts. Yes. Your Honor, motion passes 8-0. Great. Thank you. Thank you, Stephanie. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. All right. Next on the agenda item 8B. A resolution of the City Council of the City of Brighton, Colorado, approving Colin Bayinger and associate's proposal. Provide executive search services for city manager for a firm fixed fee of $24,800 and authorizing the administrative services director who execute and sign an agreement consistent with this resolution. Let's see, do we have Karen up here? Does anybody have any questions for Karen before we move forward with this? Council member Watts. Just wanted to real quick on this. Once we approve, say we approve this. Once this goes through, will we get updates every so often of any candidates that have applied or how often will we get that update and when will we be notified? I guarantee, you know, I know, and it's time that we're in right now as a nation and as a world, we might not get candidates tomorrow. I'm just saying like next week we'll be getting an update of where we're at. We'll kind of can't, not their background or anything of that nature, but just how many candidates we've had. I believe we should be able to get updates and, you know, back when we did the city attorney search, I know they're really open. It was a different firm at the time, but they're very open to. Oh, adding with us and I think we all interviewed with them individually. Do anything to add to that, Karen. There you are. Sorry about that. Yes, you will get regular updates. The first actually the first step I asked him to redo the calendar and he wanted to wait until it was approved to make sure. As you know, he's updated it several times for you. Then he will meet individually with you to see what your needs are for the search, what you're looking for, that he'll also be getting advertising material out for your approval. So you will approve every step of the way. I think we should be able to, I'm sure to be open to this, zoom meetings with them, Google Hangouts, whatever format you can do, just so we can all have our one-on-one time with them and let them know what we're looking for in this search. Can you help some member, let's see, Kushine, I see your hands up. Thank you, Bear. I just wanted to mention that I interviewed over the phone the top three firms at the mayor and mayor pro-temperature. Time at column-based or was very impressive and what I really liked is in the topic we're talking about being very flexible to be able to be able to technology zoom you know didn't seem to shy away from moving forward during this time. You seem willing to basically work with us in any way we wanted to. So I was really impressed with him and really impressed with his flexibility. So I just wanted to mention that. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Cushine. Any other questions? So I don't see Mary Ellen's hand because your screen's not showing your face. Do you have any questions Mary Ellen? No, I don't. All right. Now this side is before council mayor pro 10. Thank you, Mr. Mary like to make a motion to approve item 8B. Excellent. We have a proper first. We have a second. Council member Cushion. I'd be happy to second that motion, Mayor. Thank you. Thank you. We were proper first and a second. If there's no other discussion, go ahead and roll call vote. Mayor Mills. Yes. Mayor Pro Tem, Johnston. Yes. Council member Blackhurst. Yes. May I pro-tem Johnston? Yes. Council member blackhurst? Yes. Council member Cushing? Yes. Council member Humber? Yes. Council member Jordan-Nellie? Yes. Council member Pollock? Yes. Council member Watts? Yes. Motion passes 8 to 0. Your honor. Thank you. Thank you very much. And thank you, Karen, for your work and helping us get this together. Thanks, Karen. Next on the agenda item 8c. Resolution of the city council of the city of Brighton, Colorado, accepting the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the authorizing the city manager or design the contract and find the contract amendment one on behalf of the city and the city clerk to attest there to. Mr. Falconberg looks like Holly's here to present to us. Is that right? Yes, Mayor. She is Holly, is our community development director. She worked closely with Maria Ostromar, finance director who cannot be here tonight. They brought this item before you. And I need to apologize. The link was on and off. It's currently working about an hour ago. It wasn't working. So Holly's ready to go through this in detail and answer any questions you might have on this item. Great. Take it away, Holly. Could you name your honorable mayor, ladies and gentlemen of the council. I'm going to pull up my Yeah. Powerpoint. Great. Okay. So what I have before you this evening is the Community Development Departments Building Division specific records management digitization project. This is a change order request. This meets two of the council's strategic focus areas. The first is for a safe, active and engaged community. And that it meets your business plan initiative of identifying smart city best practices and plans for implementation. It also meets your strategic focus area of a recognizable and well planned community. And the business plan initiative of implement solutions for increased records management efficiencies. These are also noted in your adopted 2020 budget. Let me give you a little background in history. You, the city council approved a bid in 2019 for the records management, also known as the digitization of all the building records. And by building records, what I'm talking about are all of the address files, which is over 11,000 files. Address files means any commercial property, any residential property that has an address assigned to it or a structure upon it has a file designated to it. All of the permits that have been approved for that property are in that file, any certificate of occupancies, any business licenses, any home occupation licenses, they are all contained in those address files. You can see those files on the left hand portion of the screen. They're in vertical file cabinets. They're in 59 different file cabinets. The right-hand side of the screen is your commercial and industrial plans. These have to be kept in perpetuating. The space that you're seeing in front of you is approximately 23 feet in length and about five feet high. And those are all rolled plans of commercial projects, whether it's the hospital, gas station, industrial projects, besties, 76 commerce center, they are all in here and we have to keep these permanently. So obviously you can see we have a massive room or space dedicated to the storage of these files on the first floor and storage is of course not the highest and best use of real estate. So you guys approved last year a bid to digitize these records. That contract was awarded to Mountain States Imaging MSI in the amount of $98,670. Records management includes the scanning of all of those regular files, all of those large format size documents. It includes the conversion of all those documents to a digital format that can be indexed and searched. Scanning documents is one thing, but being able to actually pull a document up, go directly to that address and pull out whether you need a license or a permit or a CO. That makes the difference between scanning of a document and the digitization of a document. Digitization makes it searchable. Boxing and transport of all the files to and from the facility for digitization that took four different truckloads for them to take the files out of City Hall and the destruction of any files that we need to destroy. And of course we get back in return in the electronic delivery of all that digital data. The project began in the summer of 2019 last year and in December, unfortunately, a representative of MSI notified the building division that they had miscalculated the cost to digitize all of the records. City staff was very disappointed to hear that, obviously. So the procurement and building divisions worked with MSI to determine the amount of estimated work remaining and the cost to complete that remaining work. The cost to complete the work as set forth in the proposed change order before you tonight is for $122,342.49. The MSI representative has confirmed that this amount will be enough to complete the project. We have a will not exceed amount tied to it and they will guarantee that they, if they should exceed the number of pages, they will eat that cost. So, when we found out this news, we kind of had to do an analysis again, and we've done this analysis when we had asked for the budget for it, of course. But again, we have to go back and reconsider, why are we doing this project? Who does it benefit? What is the timeliness of it? When is the when and those types of things? So again, the analysis, why is this project important? Who benefits from the completion of the project? When does it need to be completed? So to the why, obviously the scanning and digitization of all of those records improves city workflows. Instead of someone having to get a phone call from a citizen saying, hey, I need a copy of my plot plan for my lot because I want to do a pergola in my backyard. Instead of them having to get up physically from their desk, go into that vault, open up the cabinet, pull the file, go through the paperwork, pull it out, and either scan it and email it to someone, or make a copy of it and have them pick it up or send it off to them in the mail. They can literally stay at their desk on the phone with the customer, pull up the file by a simple search, and shoot it off to an V8 email or whatever format the customer would like. So again, cruise the city workflow and also as faster service delivery to a citizen, a builder, a business owner, and those core requesters. And Cora again for the general public is the Colorado Open Records Act. There are state statutes requiring the city to provide documents within a timely fashion to those who request it. And so these could be very large requests to fill and they usually have to be filled within three days. When I spoke to the city clerk's office, she said for so far this year, approximately 50% of the court requests come out of the community development department. And when I spoke to Matt Roland, he said about 95% of the core requests are for the building division files. You can see there's a real need to have this information quickly. Obviously, accessibility of records remotely for staff and emergency responders is really important, particularly during times like these. As you all know, many facilities have been shut down and so we can't have the public coming into our building. So if a resident wants a copy of their plot plan, really this is the best format to get to them to have these things already scanned and just shoot them off. It's also important to think about emergency responders. A good example. We had the hospital call us and we're looking at doing a negative atmospheric environment. So they had existing space in the hospital, but they needed to convert it. And, but they needed to convert it. And the reason they needed to convert it was to create negative air pressure in that space. So no air transfer could go out into the joining space. Basically, they would be venting out to the exterior. Well, luckily we have those plans on file, but they're not quite scanned yet. So we had to call MSI, get them scanned, send them off. If it was already done, it would have been an immediate response. So obviously you can see there's a real need in terms of kind of the health safety welfare aspect of having these plans on file. Another reason for this quick accessibility is if we have an active shooter incident and PD or if there's a fire the fire district needs floor plans to make sure to find out where someone's at in the building where to go and rescue someone it's important to have these plans readily available. Again, this is an protection of the health safety welfare residents by having immediate access to those. It also creates cost efficiencies in regards to time and space. Again, by just improving the city workflow of not having someone have to go and pull those files and scan them themselves or make copies just having them readily available, that saves time and money. It also saves space. Another thing we've learned with this COVID-19 crisis is this six-foot separation. It's looking like we may have to continue trying to separate staff members. And I'll show you a picture later on my presentation. We have staff members on the first floor that are well within the six feet. We could better utilize the area being currently used for storage by expanding office space and allowing for future growth. It also improves the security required documents for permanent retention, in that it lowers chances of files being lost or stolen. And it also provides that all of that information is backed up. One of the things we need to remember is oftentimes a lot of our files are recorded with say Adams County or Weld County. In community development where we have zoning ordinances, where we have final plates and development agreements, those get recorded with county. So there's kind of a backup inherently built in. But with building files, the Adams County and Weld County, they don't have copies of this stuff. If something were to happen, catastrophic, the building was wiped out by a tornado, a fire starting in the sprinkler system didn't work. Those files were gone forever, and they should be retained, most of them should be retained permanently. So, who benefits from the completion of this project? Well, obviously, I believe the existing residents benefit from it. They have access to plot plans and CEOs and ensuring that our future residents, the house that they just bought was properly permitted and it has the CEO. Or if they wanna do an addition or an expansion, they can easily pull up existing plans. Business owners, especially new business owners, moving into a new space and want to renovate it. If they can't track down the architect of record or the building is very old, we still have those plans on file. Corridor requesters, again, people who want that information and we have to return it within three days, the benefits them as well. Obviously it benefits city staff in reducing the time and energy spent on some of these items. And of course it benefits the emergency responders. So when does this need to be completed? Well, let me just tell you this. The records go back 50 or more years. Some of these records are pretty old. There is no backup again for them and most of the records must be permanently retained. And I think our current crisis highlights the need for remote access to files and the need for space within the building. The image on the right is where the inspectors offices, there are four of them in there. And this is just a quick picture of two of their desks. And you can see that tape from the left hand side to the very edge of the tape measure, that's six feet. So people are crammed into pretty tight spaces already. So I think opening up that storage space, scanning those files and allowing for future growth and allowing for potential for more space between individuals is a good thing. So after we did the the why the one. The who benefits we also said, OK,122,000 is a lot of money. What are our alternatives? So alternative number one, which is in your staff report, is to pull the project from MSI and rebuild the project. Of course, the files would need to be returned to us and they would need to be stored. Unfortunately, we can't really take them out of the boxes and put them out of the boxes and put them back into the files. So we would actually have to find space in City Hall to put all the boxes and all the rolled plans. You don't want to co-mingle what's already been scanned with what hasn't. We would then have to go back out through the bid process. So some of the potential negative impacts to that is we kind of anticipate a delay of approximately one year. And the reason for that is to have all those files returned to us and go back through the bidding process, award the bid, have them get the stuff out. It'll take at least 60 to 90 days to do all of those scans. So we're talking about at least a year. And then we're not guaranteed that the new bid would be lower, the 122,000. There's also the issue that the digitized records in regards to the how they're indexed and searchable, they may not align with the work that's been performed today. So MSI has a program and methodology in terms of the search and indexing. But if we hire a new company, there's might not align with MSIs. So we might have difficulty in the records matching up or being accessible. So alternative two was considered, which is performing the remaining work in-house. Again, the files would need to be returned back to us and stored. We'd have to hire temporary personnel to scan all the remaining regular-sized images. And when I say regular-sized images, that's up to 11 by 17 in size. We do have multi-functional copiers that can do that in City Hall, but I want to remind you that generally we have about one copier per floor. There are some floors with two, but that would be taking up existing copiers or we'd have to purchase new ones. We have approximately eight hundred and eighty five thousand documents that would need to be extended house and that's just the regular size. We are unable unfortunately to scan a majority of the large world plans as we don't have equipment large enough for some of those old world plans. We go up to 36 inches, but we do have plans that are up to 48, and those are the older ones. So we might have to actually end up purchasing a new scanner in order to finish this project. So the potential negative impacts on this alternative are what I estimate as a delay of potentially one to three years for staff to perform the work a new scanner would need to be purchased. And my concern here is there's quite quite a great deal of potential for human errors in that scanning and digitization of records. One thing we need to keep in mind is that while it's certainly a lot of money for this change order, this is a company that specializes in scanning and digitizing a document. That's why I included that client list in your council packets. You can see from that client list that they've done work for cities in Colorado, for counties in Colorado, for the federal government. They are specialized in this. We do not have staff that is specialized in this. If you hire a temporary personnel at minimum wage, how invested are they in doing good work? How much turnover are we going to see in that one to three year period with people? What's the quality control look like if someone accidentally scans something upside down? Who's going to go in and look at everyone these documents? It's just not feasible for us to do this in-house. That's why they have companies that specialize in this. And they, at MSI, they actually have a team of 10 people who handles your project. And so you gotta think when someone is opening up the box, taking out the file, creating an index for where the file was located, what is in it, to crack of all of that, then they scan it. But before they scan it, they got to take out any paper clips, staples, any sticky notes. If there's a large format plan that's been folded up in place in that file, then they got to give it to someone else who has to keep record of that. It's a very cumbersome process for in-house to do. That's just to get to the scanning portion of it. Then that person scans it and then they have to go in and they have to digitize and index it. So it's not feasible, in my opinion, to do this in-house. And frankly, I'm not sure that we would end up spending more than $122,000 in the long run just for that. So, with that being said, based on the why-who-when analysis that I went through, and the alternative options staff believes it is the best interest to move forward with the proposed change order. Of course, your options are to approve the change order is presented reject the change order or require new vids to be prepared. Thank you on a mix available for questions. Thank you, Holly. We can minimize the presentation and get everybody spaces up again. We have any questions. We'll start with councilmember Cushion. Thank you, Mayor. And thank you for that presentation. Definitely convinced that it's necessary and important and not a great idea to do it in the House, but I have a few questions. Sure. I guess I feel like this bidding process, I mean, I guess my first question is, what were the next higher bids that were bid for this project? Like how much were the other companies that bid on this? I do not have that. Well, I don't know if that I have the other bids from last year. I mean, I can certainly look through my file, but I'm not sure that I have that. I mean, do you have a rough idea where they 120,000 more? Okay. Yeah, great question. So, but I can tell you, please hold, is that when we were preparing for the 2019 budget request to City Council, we had to have different companies come out and estimate how much it might cost to do this. So we knew how much to request in terms of the budget. So I can tell you those numbers. Okay. Okay, so we had a company, give us a bid, MCCI. So, so, Condive project conversion of regular format documents, just the regular format. They estimated 74,000, $32.59. Conversion of the large format documents was $282,000, $17.57. I guess what I'm asking is what's what recourse do we have to prevent a company from coming in and undercutting all the other bidders, emitting $98,000, when they know they can just come back a year later and request a change over order for more than the entire amount of the contract with an oops, we just underestimated. That's a little bit more of an underestimation. I wonder what we, of course, we have to do, but it seems like every company should do that. It's just a bit 50,000 and then we'll get it. And we can just fix it later. I wish I had an answer to that. I think that's either more of a finance director or a legal question. What I can tell you is when I had a very friendly conversation with the representative from MSI, what he said was that unfortunately, when he had come out in 2018 and done the estimate, he did not come back out in 2019 and go through the files more closely. And so what his story was was that when they started going through some of those files and realizing there's large format plans folded up in here and there's more than I anticipated that we had jam back more in the than the vertical files that he miscalculated. And so that's a great question, Councilman Cushin. I don't know how to answer that as to what are resources or whether someone can play kind of the shell game. I don't know if maybe Jack Bajorik has an answer to that. And I mean, I must say no one here is happy in terms of the city staff. The finance directors have not happy. For procurement managers not happy, to building official, no one is happy that they've miscalculated this. It's very, very frustrating. And it's put a halt on this project for three months now? Well, I guess I just don't feel like we should reward a company for doing that. I mean, I'm more inclined to go out to bid and find a company that's going to give us an honest bid. So we know what we're dealing with and not, you know, I don't know what's to stop this company from coming back and saying they underestimated again. They can't, if they, I mean, they didn't underestimate, I mean, they underestimated by like half the project. So I don't, frankly, accompany it, that's their business. I would expect them to know within a reasonable margin of what the project scope is like. And even if it takes us time, I'd just assume not to be business with somebody like that. That's my opinion. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Kuschy. That's my opinion. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Kushy. Very good points. Mayor Prattem. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I've got some, thank you, Councillor Kushing also. We're bringing up some of this, but I mean, that presentation was pretty unfrestrated added. Of course we understand the need for this. We all voted for it. All of the old council members, we wanted this. It's not as if we needed to be told why we needed it. I'm sure the rest of council also understands the need to digitize, I mean, we're 10 years behind digitizing. We were 10 years behind 10 years ago, and we continue to be. Also, I'm frustrated with the presentation that the actual cost of this was not hooded. It's not $122,000. I don't want anyone watching, hearing, and everyone else that's on council to understand that. So what is the total for this project now? The total is $221,4, $42,000 and $21,000. Right. And with transparency with our residents in council, we probably should put that number up on every piece of paper for this presentation. But also, I want to let you know, Director Preyther, we never got the staff member. It wasn't attached to the agenda. It was only attached to the other one. So we never got to see this, which is another piece of the puzzle of why I'm a bit frustrated and I think other council members are. I mean, I'm a hard-known on this, a hard-known. I think this is what we have done with this. I want to question a lot of things. So I want a few things done. And this is a directive coming for me that I hope council can also agree with. I want to be sent the original presentation, the first one that we saw, so that we can see what Council saw. I also want to know both in the study session What I mean is who presented this to us? How many options did we get presented? It sounds like the other option of $282,000 would have been done now. How was this all done? And it's not to go back and go through who screwed up. It's about to figure out how this doesn't happen again, because this happened in the past, before I was on council so many times, that it was one of my campaign points. It was a reason why we had the water problem that we had. It's that council is often unprotected from the truth because we're presented with one piece or the other and we need to think about how we're doing that and go forward that way. This is a tragedy for staff to recommend for us to pass this. I mean, two years ago, I'm wondering three years ago, I'm wondering if it would have just went through because people were going to read and trusted staff. That's what they were told to do. I also want to know what the exact dates were shown in the study session. And so I can go back and watch the study session and the other thing because if I remember right, there was a conversation about this possibly happening. Why was this so much cheaper? And what was the answer from staff? I also need to say, not only in my heart, no, but I want the money back from this company that is acting as if they told us that they would do this. If they can't do, sorry, motorcycle flew down my street just now. If we could figure out the conversations between, I want to see the conversations between staff and this company also, because I want to see who's underestimated this project by $122,000 and where that came from. So that's my ask. I'm not a hard no on this. I can't be talked out of that. I definitely think we need to do something about this. Let's go back in the study session. Actually see the staff memo and we'll send direction out for the next Tuesday. Just to be handled immediately. We need our record. Thank you, Mr Mayor. Thanks, council. Thank you. Councilmember Blocker. I'll sell you hand next. Thank you, Mayor. My question to begin with is tour city attorney. If we have a vendor who bids on a project comes out looks at the looks at the scope of the project and bids on a project comes out looks at the scope of the project and bids on a project and they're awarded the project and then they come back to us six months, eight months later and say, oops, we underestimated, we underestimated the scope of that. We can only do 45% of the project, 40, 45% of the project. Do we have any legal recourse and say, wait, you came out and looked at the project, you bid it and now you're coming back and saying, oops, that, oh, let me ask you, And now you're coming back and saying, oops. That. Let me ask you to make the second point and it'll turn it over to you, Jack. My second point is anytime we have a. Change order of exceed your original bid. I think we just as a matter of course need to re-bid it. Thank you. So to answer your question, if the contract, the scope of the contract identifies a specific level of performance, provide that X service is. And they miscalculate what it's going to cost them to do it. Then they choose not to finish the project. My opinion is that's a breach of the contract. If, if however, the contract is written in a way to where this is a piecemeal scope of service because they don't know exactly how many documents there are. There are variables it's written in the contract that there could be variables, but it's not a clear breach. Holly, I don't know how the contract was structured for this particular vendor. I mean, I suggest that we need to have our city attorney look at the contract and give us an opinion as to whether the contract was satisfied. I would agree with that too. Council member, are you down? Council member Leckers? Okay. Council member Humbert. Sorry, I have too many mice still by my left side. For one thing, the 221 12.49 was in the presentation that I saw in the agenda. So it's there, which made me wonder, you know, why they more than doubled the bid. I agree that if they underbid by so much, they have to eat the the whole thing I think. I really do agree with Councilman Blackhurst that we need to read the whole thing because that it seems like more than just a mistake. It was more than that. I've seen some calculating calculating actions taken lately and and this one of them, I think, on the part of the bidder. There were other bidders. You said the next closest was 280 and that was just for one part of it. But I think that's a mistake that we didn't make. We apparently let them know that there are multiple pieces of the contract. The other company knew that there were two portions, ultimately, before they bid. So it just, it stuns me that, you know, a company doesn't get its homework, do its homework, it's rewarded. That's all I have to say. Thank you. Council Member Pollock. Thank you, Mayor. So I agree with the Rest of Council. And let's see what Jeff finds in the contract to see what we can do. But, uh, you know, this isn't the first time that we've accepted a bid. And then they come to us later and say, oh, we under us made it the amount we need this. What is the use of a bid? Is this a way to get bid and then know that later on they can come in and get more money? I'm absolutely against that have been from day one. And I don't, you know, unless there's some kind of legal repercussions, I wouldn't even use this company at all because we're not going to start playing those games. This is it really borders criminal to me. So my opinion, I'm definitely a hard no. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Pollock. Council Member Watts. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And I'm not going to beat this. I think everybody's express their opinions. I just want to, I know that the staff wants to get this done. I want to get this done. I think it be easier. You know, once we somebody can call up, we can get it, you know, digitize and it's there and it's sent to the people. We need to do it correctly. We need to do it was right for us financially. And that's kind of what I think we're all saying is, I don't want somebody later on down the road, like Councilman Ramirez said that says, under business everybody by 50,000 and then comes back six months later, and that's what we don't want. And this is nothing against the work you guys do in the city. This is just basically, we need to find the best result for the money that we're paying out for it. This company, what was the name of this company again? You don't mind, I'm sorry. Mountain States imaging, MSI. And have we ever used them for anything in the past before as a city, or do you know of any other local cities around us that has used them? You may not have had enough time to head, and that's okay if you don't. I was just like a research myself. I just was curious if one of the nearby municipalities have used them and what they've said about them. Yes, um, broomfields used them for their attorney file conversion, city and county of Denver used them for large format maps and flats for Collins used them for water utilities. Lots of nearby cities, gridley, all of them. Do we know if they had the same problem with them, the other cities as well, then we know over now. That I can't say, I do not. Okay. And it's okay if you can. I just was just curious about stuff like that. I don't like people doing that. But again, though, you know, we want to get this done. We just need to do it the right way with the right people for the right amount of money. you got some member Watts, council member Jordan Ellie. Last one. Well, Holly, I feel really bad for you and the staff. I know that getting that done is priceless for you. But I always said this before I was a small business man. If I were to double more than double my bid, they'd throw me out the job. So it's just beyond my belief that a company with its professional could be so far off. I don't understand that. But now here's the thing. You said the other bids were in the 200,000 range. So no matter which way we go, we're probably going to end up with a $200,000 range. Now do they have half the job done? A little bit less than half. Yeah. So what are they going to do? Just throw all that away, throw all the discs, whatever, just sorry. That's not what I'm going to do. I mean, we'll keep it. We'll certainly keep what's been scanned and digitized so far. You know, the staff may concern is whether it's going to work well with the new data. We could pro-rate it or just get it free. I don't want to, I don't want to set a council's expectations in a manner that it may not pan out, but I'd also caution the council to now we're talking about potentially, there could be potential litigation here. I just caution council to kind of step back for a minute and not start opining in an open meeting until we know all the facts. Well, that's what I was going to say was, you know, it's no time to have a grudge or or feel for this anything for this company because if we're going to end up around 200 and so many way, we need to just objectively say what's the best route to get this done for the 200,000? And That's what we got to find out and jackal research that and whatever, but you know in the end This isn't a personal Issue this is a business issue and if if we're gonna go up over 200 we're gonna go up over 200. Let's face it All right So that's you know, I just wanted to think about it We're going to go up over to another let's face it. Right? So that's you know, I just want to wait and think about it. Thank you, Councillor Hacker. I'm not happy either believe me. I'm not happy either, but You know, it's not a personal issue Thank you, Councillor Member Jordan-Elli. I'm going to recommend we all you know, let's get our material back and do our investigation and and see where we go from there. Additional comments, I see Mayor pertains hand. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. We'll said by all of council once again, I love working with all of you. I think we need to see just so that this is done. This should be sent to all of council is one. I want to see who presented this. How many options were given as council? What was the exact dates that this was shown to us? Well, the study session and the council meeting. And so we can go watch. Let's figure out how this happened. I don't blame staff by any means. I just want to make sure that this goes forward with other bids. So we can go watch. Let's figure out how this happened. And I don't blame staff by any means. I just want to make sure that this goes forward with other bids that this doesn't happen again. And we figure out a way to stop it both at the staff level, the bidding level and at the council level just so we can avoid this. But I appreciate your time, director Grayther. And I'm about to make a weird motion, Mr. Mayor and Council, just to let you all know I'd like to. Whenever there's a motion to deny, yes, is it an aisle? So I'd like to make a motion to deny, to approve item, excuse me, item 8c. I'd I would also second that. I'd like to make a motion to not approve item 8c. We have a proper motion to I guess deny 8c is what we'd say is that correct Jack? Yeah, that's probably better terminology. Yes. Okay. We have a second councilmember Pollock. Yes I would also second that thank you. Okay we have a proper first and a second any additional comment before we vote. Councilmember Jornelli my last comment is that whoever is hiring these people and we talked about this with the parks and recreation, I said, is this going to be the final bid? We don't want to be the add-on city, right? So whoever has taken these bids, for some reason they're not stipulating, sir, we would rather not have your bid if you cannot commit to this price. So could I do that? For some reason, our city, our people are not conveying to these bitters how important it is to us that we get a final bid. So I just want to bring that out so that we can all be aware that hey, let's make it aware to people that are biddened to us. This is, we want a final bid, you know? That's the common sense. I'm sorry to prove it in but. All right thank you any other comment before we vote. Okay roll call vote. Air mills. Yes. May I pro-tem don't stand. Yes. Council member blackhurst. Yes. No. Council member Blackhurst. Yes, no. Council member kissing. Yes. Council member Humbert. Yes. Council member Jordan Nellie. Yes. Council member Pollock. Yes. Council member Watts. Yes. Your Honor motion passes 8-0-2-9 item 8-C. Thank you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's a joke, by the way, but next on the agenda, item 8D, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Brighton, Colorado, approving the Adams County Community Development Block Grant subgrantee agreement for program year 2019 and authorizing the city manager to execute the grant agreement on behalf of the city. Mr. Falconberg, who do we have to present on this tonight? Yes, Mayor and Council. We'll bring in Nicole Samson, our manager's strategic initiatives and government affairs who worked on this and if you recall there was some work done last year down southern street to really improve the handicap accessibility and this takes it and completes it all the way to fourth street so there's gonna call she's coming in she's on mute so if you come on in and come off mute you can present this is a really good thing to get accomplished, especially in this neighborhood that really needs it. Hello, can you hear me, Council? Yes. We can hear you, we just don't see you. I know, I don't know what's going on. I somehow rejoined, so you'll just have to look at a black screen and imagine me getting a ball ground and a crown. So good evening. The resolution before you tonight is to approve the subgrantee agreement with Adams County, which allows Brighton to receive community development block grant funds to improve the walkability and the wheelchair accessibility of the sidewalks along southern street. There you are. Oh, we see now. So last year the city applied for this grant funds in order to fund the ADA sidewalk improvements to install curb ramps along the sidewalk street intersections along the north side and the south side of southern street from 4th Avenue to 12th Avenue. Brighton has been awarded up to $181,839 in community development block grant funds for the construction of this project and that is what this is upgrantee agreement states. The total estimated construction cost is 216,537 dollars. That leaves an outstanding balance of a little over $30,000. And the city will need to fill that. Now that was something that was stated in the application that we were doing that match. And there is money appropriated in the council approved 2020 budget for this matching amount. This needs to focus areas of the city council approved 2020 budget for this matching amount. This meets two focus areas of the city council strategic plan. First financial responsibility 86% of the project is being funded from the grant. And sustainable infrastructure. This improved accessibility will benefit the people living around southern street as well as those who attend schools in the area or walking along regional trails in the area. There's another element to this. This project will fund work for people during this time when the economic activity is slowed. Because as soon as this agreement is executed, we can bring back to council a list of possible contractors and then we can go under contract probably this summer. And when I say probably and I'm thinking it's probably June. Therefore staff recommends approving the resolution which allows the city of Brighton through the city council to enter into agreement with Adams County and authorizes the city manager to execute the agreement. Do you have any questions? I'd be happy to answer those questions for Nicole anyone. I don't see any hand up council member blockers. Thank you Mayor Nicole this isn't really about this project, but I have to take this opportunity to say again, that it is really concerning to me that we're making improvements. I mean, it isn't concerning we're making improvements in sidewalks. What concerns me is if you go on our main street, the main street of Brighton and you go south of Jessup all the way down to, I don't know, I'm not sure it isn't Jessup, I think it's like scale all the way down to, I don't know, I'm not even sure it isn't Jessup, I think it's like, scale all the way down to Jessup. If you're handicapped, you're gonna walk in the road or you're gonna ride your wheelchair and we've talked about this and talked about this and yet we still have about an 18-inch sidewalk. Literally, that's twisty-turny and I hope if we put in grants in the future we realize their main street of town should be some kind of attention paid to that and I don't know what it's going to finally take to get the city to improve this sidewalk so that people don't have to ride wheelchairs down the middle of the road. So it isn't really on this one, but in the future when we apply for Brock Grants, please, between your office and public works. Look at the sidewalks in that area. It's ridiculous. There's a lot of eligibility requirements with the community development black grant funds because these are federal funds. So I'm happy to go through and look at the streets and see which ones, streets and sidewalks, which ones we can do. Streets is a big issue because HUD does not like to overlap funding that might have come in from the Department of Transportation with those that are coming in from HUD. So we'll look at what ones may have received funding in the past from Department of Transportation. What ones are eligible? And that is my, I'm actually working right now with our GIS staff as well as our infrastructure staff to say what do we need to do for this 2020 CDBG grant? I appreciate that very much. Thank you. Thank you. You know, when Councilmember Blackhurst raises hand, I don't feel any talk about South Man. That's been a real sticking point and I completely agree. Mayor Pro Tem, I'll sell you hand next. Yeah, I just wanted to agree. Counselor Blackhurst, you're much more patient than I am. It's been two years, multiple staff members. We've talked about this since you and I have served together and you have personally been touting this for two years and all of councils agreed two different councils Though we need to do something no disrespect to marvel your staff or the previous city manager and their staff I'm just saying like we're all saying yes at a council meeting Let's let's figure out how to make that a legal yes and get that done one or the other grant or not. It's very important. So I appreciate your comments. Thank you council member Hummer. I Believe it just did some improvements on Southern where it meets Maine. I don't think that they Attacooly addressed the ramps there though if I recall correctly. I'd have to have our public work director or streets engineer actually they're both on for an upcoming item. So I just I just walked through that intersection today. The ramps are in on the work that we did. Yeah, they should do anything. On the west side leading into the pavilions. There are nice ramps that take you on that side. Walker's great. They did a great job. Striping looks like they've already taken care of the vegetation. But if you go 50 feet south of that location, there is literally a 20 inch sidewalk that's tilted, that people have to walk on. There's nothing on the other side of the room. So, and even with the new, I think to bring yourself, but it really sticks out. The new business that's a little further down the old blacksmith shop that's now Lily's ax throwing. They re-did the driveway, but the whole sidewalk in front of their place, they never required, we never required them apparently to replace. It's still a little tiny, tilted sidewalk. And I guess I don't understand how I thought when businesses came in, they had to fix the sidewalks in front of their property. Anyway. Christopher, can you address any of that? You're muted, Mr. Montoya. See, can you guys hear me now? There we go. Sorry about all. Notice everybody else has a nice background. I got a paper we're going over the place here. Well just I guess a little bit of history could be helpful. We've heard you we've heard the request so it takes time obviously to just plan projects. We ran some numbers on Main Street. I think it was a little over a half million dollars for the sidewalk, but we still have that information in our capital projects. This year coming up, well, this year actually, we're cutting some of our budgets. However, we're still anticipating 1,800 feet of sidewalk on Bridge Street. And there's just a lot of areas around the city like that. I ran some concrete numbers throughout the city. We have a little over I think it's 200 million dollars of concrete infrastructure. So a big part of it's just the challenge of the fiscal funding of the projects. We are still evaluating what we can do in some of those areas. And I know that's not the exact answer we're going to get it done this year. Skill street did just get redone. So we're going to get it done. So we're going to get it done. We're going to get it done. evaluating what we can do in some of those areas. And I know that's not the exact answer that we're going to get it done this year. Skill Street did just get redone. So on Skill Street, they did put the walkways and they did do the curb ramps for the accessibility through the downtown area. Also, when we did do Main Street, we tried to promote traffic calming. So we tried to slow the speeds down. And then we added the bike lanes which is a part of that transition. So it's just a transitionary time of really time and dollars to make it happen. I know that's not the exact answer that everybody probably wants to hear. It's kind of the reality too. I'm not sure if I'm addressing those questions properly. Say, anybody else have a follow up for Mr. Montoya? Council member Cushion. Thank you. I just wanted to pile on since we're picking out our pet peeves on sidewalks and just mention bridge in 27th Avenue where the nursing home is and the bus stop is and I think you mentioned there might be some sidewalks happening there but just from a you know 88 point of view someone trying to get to the bus stop or or to the nursing home that that kind of stinks if there's no sidewalks there but I appreciate all the effort I know it's hard to get everything done all at one so we all have our you know asks on that stuff so thank you I know it's hard to get everything done all at once and we all have our you know asks on that stuff. So thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you councilmember Jornelli. I know South Maine is in your ward. Yeah well I've walked down on Southern to the park and I thought there were a lot of ramps with the blind dots on them already. Am I correct? Maybe it's just one of the school. Overall, there were a few. Some corners actually had no curb ramps. Other corners had some modified ramps and then other corners had more like outdated without the detectable warnings as they call them. So really a lot of this transition in around 1984 when I believe it was Americans with disability about warnings as they call them. So really a lot of this transition in around 1984 when the, believe it was, Americans with disability act was issued. It wasn't taken very strongly at the time. So over time it started to transition and become a little more stringent into the early late 90s. And then the federal justice department, they really started enforcing a lot more into the early 2000s and I'm kinda estimating on some of these dates. And in fact, you did see some municipalities be penalized. So you're supposed to have an ADA transition plan that as long as you're allocating funds every year and making these improvements, you have a plan and in essence, you're making that transition. I'm just going to do it all at once, but when the standards change, it made a lot of the slopes change and a lot of the ramps change in elevations and the warnings and such. All that's in those requirements. Okay, so my question is, are we tearing out all the ramps through there because they're insufficient and redoing them all? Generally, newer developments are like anything probably constructed on Southern. Yes, we'll be tearing out almost every corner and replacing everything on that roadway. Wow. And that's just to bring it up to standards. Essentially what you need is my best way of describing some of the ADA at ramps is for one, it allows the wheelchair accessibility. That's why it's a curb ramp. The detectable warnings are for disabled visions. So if you can't see, you have the detectable warning to notify you that you're entering into a street or across, crossing a street essentially and you're entering into a dangerous area. But it's like a set of stairs so you have a landing at the top which would be your normal sidewalk a ramp down and then another landing area and that very stringent requirements. If you're out like 0.1%, which in instances could be as small as a quarter of an inch to half an inch in elevation. It's actually non-compliant. We've made contractors remove ramps and replace them during new developments and such if that was the case. Okay. Next I see Councilmember Pollock had her hand up. Thank you. So you say we're looking at about $220 million in work that needs to be done. So the total assets of the city's infrastructure in concrete for sidewalks is about $200 million. The code requires homeowners and business owners are responsible for the sidewalk adjacent to their property. So that obligation is not necessarily ours. We focus on what would be a public element of the infrastructure. So curb ramps will be public use, cross pans, the drainage pans that go across the road. These would be more public use. And then any of the sidewalks surrounding properties owned by the city, those are all our responsibilities. So we're not responsible for that full 200 million. But if you were to go down like main that comes up all the time, we would be as the city taking on that obligation, even if there's a parcel owner adjacent to it. And that's fine. You do that sometimes the major infrastructure. Another instance may redevelop a block like we did on Skill Street. And as part of that reconstruction redevelopment you put in all the appropriate infrastructure at the time of that construction rather maybe. Sorry but you've been receiving the budget for throughout the year right throughout time because you said you had the money they just haven't been done. So are you gonna wait till, to win? Um, I'm gonna, I think you're asking me from a budgetary standpoint how we allocate the money. So we started now dedicating about 10% of our budget to solely just concrete work and reparsals. And we have another account with like 70,000 bucks, I don't know, for communities. And that's intended for pedestrian connectivity. So more of it if you have gaps. We also have our CBTG one where we use that for things like the curb ramps. And then we try to get reimbursed in the county if we can get into an agreement. And this is the one Nicole's presenting now. So we go. We go costs. Yeah. the polls presenting now. So we have no cost. Yeah, I would like to see more of if we approve. Whatever street to southern or whatever for sidewalks and and whatever. This year, I would like to see the work done this year. This year, not, you know, you've got it in your budget, you're going to get to it when. So for all of our money. Yeah, this is putting off and putting off. Um, why I just don't understand. Maybe that's the way government works. I don't work that way. I run a private business. I need something done. I get it done. Well, and I can clarify. So these so this project should be done this year. Once the contractor gets started, we allocated 30 days in the specifications. It's actually already out to bid. We're answering questions for that project today. So I'm assuming in the next 45 to 60 days we should have that presented back to you. We've already listed it for the infrastructure project this year. It was approximately $3.7 million, and we're covering that budget down to about $2.7 million. That project we're executing a change order with the contractor, and we participate bringing that one in the next, I'd say 30 to 60 days as well. That project does have about a half a mile of new sidewalk. It also has curb ramps on Main Street to the north of bridge right now where we're gonna finish the road paving that we did to the south of bridge street on the road. So I do promise you guys, you will see a lot of construction if we can get out there and get the contract executed. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anybody have anything in addition to ask? Okay I think all of us have a sidewalk project in our respective wards which really like focused on and civil. But I do see the bigger need for South Maine so I hope we can get that going especially after this current one the progress is complete. So I just before council council member blackhears. Mayor I'd be happy to make a motion to improve resolution 8D for the public first do we have a second council member Humbert? It's a very second that motion. Great. We have a proper first and a second. If there's no more discussion, it's going to roll call vote. Mayor Mills. Yes. Mayor Prattam Johnson. Yes. Council Member Blackhurst. Yes. Council Member Pston. Yes. Cancel member Blackhurst. Yes. Cancel member Pushing. Yes. Cancel member Humbert. Yes. Cancel member Jordan Alley. Yes. Cancel member Pollock. Yes. Cancel member Watts. Yes. Your honor, motion passes 8 to 0. Thank you very much. Next on the agenda item 9a, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Brighton, Colorado, accepting the bid of Hazen and Swire and awarding the contract for EPA risk assessment project 20-021 to Hazen and Swire for the contract amount, not to exceed $133,020 in authorizing the city manager to sign the contract on behalf of the city and the city clerk to attest there to Mr. Falcoburg. Yes, Mayor Council, we've got infrastructure director Woodruff. I do not see on here yet. So hope they're bringing him in. There he is. He's got a brief presentation on this item. There he is. You're muted still, sir. You got your mute on there. There we go. Good evening, Mayor Marin City Council. Hope everybody's doing well and I hope you're all safe. This evening I'm here to present to you the EPA Risk Assessment Project and I will pull that up for you. And can you all see that? Yeah. Okay. There's strategic plan that this identifies is the support event sustainable infrastructure. Tonight I'll give you a project background project details the RFP process and results in a final recommendation from staff. Project background in 2018 the American Water Infrastructure Act or AWA IA was passed to revitalize and reassess public water utilities. Section 2013 of the AWA requires that all community water systems more than 3,300 customers conduct a risk and resiliency assessment and develop an emergency response plan. The completion of these is important not only to comply and Dr. Risk and Resiliency Assessment and Development Emergency Response Plan. The completion of these is important not only to comply with regulations, but also to ensure that Brighton's water system remains resilient for the future protected from hazards, both natural and unnatural. This assessment will cover the potential malevolent acts on the water system. The resilience of the current infrastructure, monitoring for subpractices, building systems and operation and maintenance among other subjects within the plan. The emergency response plan will serve as a strategic plan in the event that a bright and drinking water system, the bright and drinking water system is compromised from either malevolent or natural hazards. The RFP process and results we went through the formal request for proposals was due on February 14th of 2020. We had five proposals ranging from $90,848 to $196,077. After a time to analyze and evaluate the proposals, we narrowed the proposals down based on varying scopes of services. We also interviewed the applicants, not all of them. We narrowed it down and interviewed two of the remaining applicants that we felt better suited to the needs of the city. Hazen and Sawyer was determined to be the most responsive and responsible bitter with a proposal price not to exceed $133,000 and $20. This proposal also included the base bid and two additional options that were selected by staff that we felt better met the city's needs. Staff's final recommendation on the project is staff believes that accepting the proposal from Hazen Sawyer for the services for the EPA risk assessment project would accomplish the following. One, provide long term reliable assessment of the state of Brighton's water infrastructure and the potential hazards it could be exposed to. And provide a functional emergency response plan that would be followed if the water system were to be compromised to protect residents. It meets all EPA and American Water Infrastructure Act regulations and according to EPA this process needs to be completed and submitted and in place by July of 2021. So we're well ahead of the curve in getting this done. The other thing that I'd like to mention is this has no bearing on water quality. This is not a water quality type issue. This is more of a hazards issue where they actually go out, identified what the potential hazards may be to our system, as far as the risk of maybe somebody sabotaging pump stations or wells or breaking in and causing damage to our water facilities or water tanks As well as other occurrences that are within our system. Again, it's more of a hazard mitigation types program, not something that's associated with water quality or service. And I'd be happy to answer any questions for you. Thank you, Mr. Woodruff. service. And I'd be happy to answer any questions for you. Thank you, Mr. Woodruff. Questions? I see Mayor Prattem. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Mr. Woodruff. I have a few questions and I just really want us to under like are we any EPA compliance all the way right now? As far as I know, we are, yes sir. Big great to hear. I know we weren't completely any EPA like under the requirements that were handed down. Well, if I spoke by a CDPHE and EPA because of this last October, with the Ryan discharge that was coming out of our, our O-plant. So I just wanted to ask a couple of questions based on what's been presented is, are we, how many cities have to spend this kind of money to do a risk assessment? It's just a lot of money. And is, does that have anything to do with our lack of compliance over that many years with the Ryan that was discharged into the Southland? It has nothing to, yeah, it has a council member, mayor and council member, Gonson, it has nothing to do with the water quality issue associated with the city. And basically, this is a requirement of any provider that services over 3,300 customers. It's something that is mandated by EPA through the America's Water Infrastructure Act. But like I said, it has nothing to do with violations or pass remediation of the water system. This is solely a security and resiliency type study. And it's something quite honestly that is needed and it's something that will protect our water supply and the affordances in the future. Namely from hazards or somebody sabotaging the system, somebody getting into our system and doing harm to our facilities. And that's what this is basically wrapped around. Okay, I mean, it just, yeah, it sounds like back in 2018, a great business to start would be every single city needed this to be done starting in 2018. So it's just a lot of money to spend when I, like, I just kind of want to know, this was asked earlier about another subject, but what are other cities doing and how much are they spending with this? Just because it seems like a lot to do a risk assessment on our city is Westminster spending the same amount, even though they have so many more water customers and such a larger infrastructure, it's just a lot of money to do a risk assessment on anything but along our water infrastructure. You know, Mayor, I'm looking at the proposal or Mary and councilmember Johnson. I'm looking at the proposal that we see. Hansen Sawyer and they just list a few cities in here. Some of these cities are large cities like Miami Dade, summer smaller cities like Buckeye, Arizona and cost range anywhere from about 79,000 all the way up to 500,000. Oh great. Okay. I'm on the nature and the size. Thank you. That's what I wanted to hear. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you. Councilmember Jordanelli. Okay, in the presentation, it said not to exceed, but you can answer maybe Jack and chime in. What do we have in the contract that was not going to exceed that guarantees us that they can't exceed their bit just with the amount that you are approving. It's not necessarily the contract. So if there was some change of the scope of the work and again, we need to be clear that's not anticipated in this case, but you could have a contract, talk about the sidewalks contract where you change this scope to add some additional product at the end. The not to exceed language in the resolution says that staff can't go beyond that without coming back to council for approval. Right, but my question is how are we protected from these companies adding on all the time? So so again, that's that's back to the point I made earlier is if a company bids and the scope doesn't change and Again that that turns on the the language of the disclosures from the city and their investigation You know, there's no as long as there's no room in that, for oftentimes in a construction contract or something, you'll have language in there that says, it's based on these assumptions. If we find out, you were actually trying to build this house on swamp land, and we don't learn that until we do a soil analysis. Well, we're going to come back because it's beyond the scope of the contract. If it's within the scope of the contract, then they need to honor that contract to the letter and that includes for the value, the compensation or the payment that we're agreeing to. Does that answer your question? Yes, thank you. Mr. Woodruff, do you want to clarify more? Yes, I'd like to follow up. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council. One thing I would say on this particular item, we have every bid item identified in this proposal. In other words each of the tasks are identified and there's a dollar amount associated with those tasks. This proposal is clearly definitive as to what needs to be done in regards to complete this contract. So you know when we say not to exceed we fully expect that this contractor will provide every service is listed every one of the services listed in their proposal at the cost in which they did it. And that's what we will hold them to. Yeah, it's beautiful. All right, thank you. Anybody else have any more questions? Don't see any more hands. Okay, the silence before council. We want to make a motion. Councilmember blockers. Yes, Mayor, thank you. I would be happy to make a motion to approve nine. A. We have a proper first. Do we have a second?

You're on a motion passes, A.C. Ram. Thank you. Next, we are coming to the finish line, everyone. Reports. Start with reports by the mayor. With all of our boards and commissions, either not going or going to Zoom meetings, I've had a lot of Zoom meetings and it's a variety of Zoom meetings for with Metro mayors, with a variety of different entities. I was, however, able to witness real quick from a safe manner, our chief of police being released from Plot Millie Medical Center after he is fight with the COVID-19. It's really good news to celebrate. And I was glad to see that was in social media and other entities for the public to see and have something to smile about. Just a reminder to council members. Next week for a study session, we will have our presentation with youth on their trip to DC for NLC. and I'd like to invite everybody that went on council to put together a small presentation of what you learn to just in a plug for the response to the US Census. Every 10 years in America, we do our census. It's typically due in April. This year for the first time, it is a census that you can answer online. It is really simple. Everybody should have received a letter with a confirmation code on how to answer the census. It took me like five minutes. It doesn't take long. I encourage everybody in Brighton to do it. I get reports on how we're doing weekly and we are at last I heard 49% response rate here in the city of Brighton, which is a couple percentage points below the state average. I think the port left is at 51%. So we want to beat them out. So just if you want to be competitive, let's get everybody to answer it. This is one way, one of many ways we get federal funding for various projects. And really, we're under a emergency declaration. And if we need disaster money, this is one way they rate how much we can get. So please, residents, everybody, doesn't matter if you're a homeowner or a renter, please respond, ask your neighbors to and promote as much as you can. Next week there's a special election award too. I invite everyone to vote and have your ballots in by April 28th. And I've seen some Zoom meetings that involve the governor. And it looks like he is leaning towards running from a stay at home to what's going to be called a stay stay for a home, which is a lot similar to what we're doing now, but it's a slow opening to our economy, which could include, it's not detailed yet, but it could include some retail opening up to more curbside business and maybe a little bit more of a slightly bigger opening a week or two later and having everyone that can still commute via telecommute still continue to do that but having more leniency to be able to return more to our regular work with proper PPE coming up later in May. So that's what's the government's office. We have a report from the government that will be coming up in May. That's what it's looking like coming up as far as what I'm hearing out of the governor's office. Nothing official quite yet. So. Do we have any reports by department heads? We do have at least one woodruff will come back on and report. And I just like to thank you, Mayor for mentioning the census. As we all know, it's really, really important for our community for everyone to get on. You can make a huge difference in your own town and the financial situation and receiving grants from the federal government. So it's all confidential. So I just supplement what the mayor was saying and just agree, really take that serious, get that serious get that in is very very short. It's confidential. So here's Woodruff. You're on. Hello. Hello. Mary is a mayor pro Tim Johnston still on. He is videos to talk. Okay. Hey, Mayor Pro Tem, I just owe you an apology. I just wanted to say I addressed you as a council member, not your proper mayor pro Tem. So I just want to apologize for that. That was a faux pas in my part, but I felt obligated to apologize for that mistake. And that's all problem. No problem at all. I was no matter just don't call me jerk, thanks. Why, I, like I said, I apologize thanks for the time. Have a good evening. Any more reports but from department heads? Not that I know of. Okay. City Attorney? I do have a correction to make last week when the study session during the bike brighten presentation the subject of writing bicycles on sidewalks came up and there was a number of questions back and forth but I was specifically asked whether or not that was lawful in Brighton. And I indicated that it was not prohibited in Brighton or was not allowed in Brighton. I have since gone back and reviewed both the model traffic code and the Brighton ordinances, although the Brighton, although the model traffic code does provide the mechanism for a local authority to prohibit writing bikes on sidewalks, Brighton has not done so. The only amendment related to the bicycles in the model traffic code that Brighton did back in 2010 had to do with the definition of a motorized bicycle. It was not related to sidewalks and bicycles. So I stand corrected. I wanted to make sure I cleared that record, corrected that record in a public meeting just as I had answered the question in a public meeting. I would note that a bicyclist is obligated to yield to a pedestrian while they are on the bike on the sidewalk. And they're also required to provide an audible warning when passing a pedestrian on a bike on a sidewalk. But other than that, apologies for mistaking the law. Thank you, Mr. Bajorik. Um. See city manager, Mr. Valkoverde, do you have any more to report? I do not, but Jordan L. Lee celebrating so he's no longer implicated in his bicycle incident on bridge street. You're off the hook. Nothing else to have, Mayor. Thank you. All right, reports by council. I'm going to go by the squares that are on my screen. We'll start with councilmember Cushing. Thank you, Mayor. Not much to report. We had our first virtual doctor cognating, but it was pretty light agenda. There's an effort to prioritize. Se seed out projects in the event that we magically get money. That's seeming less likely in our current financial situation, but we'll keep holding out hope for that. So I guess I'll just use the opportunity to echo what you said, Mayor. The census, I mean, you know, it's easy to think it's just a government wanting to get all your information. And you know, they already, you know, can have all that. If they want it, it's really important that people do it. It really affects a lot of things. And you know, just encourage people to do it. And then I just also wanted to echo your comments, Mayor, about the safer at home. Now, I see people commenting like, we're out of the woods. The stay at home is being lifted. The virus is over. It's not over. I mean, there's, you know, I know a lot of people haven't been affected and it's hard to see. It's hard to see why we can't go out and do with the things we enjoy. And it's a free country, and we can kind of do that if we want to, but some of us have experienced some loss of life. And it's not, I mean, it's gonna get worse. And I just, the governor's moving to a safer at home. We're still trying to stay at home. We're still trying to, maybe now you can get your hair cut, maybe now you can pick up your hobby supplies, but it's really we're not out of the woods and I just really encourage people to do, you know, follow those guidelines so that we can get out of this a lot easier than if we don't. But otherwise, that's all I have, I think, thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Councilmember Cushingion, Councilmember Jordan Elley. I had a link virtual yesterday and they did a real good job of getting put together a human resource support organization going to cost them less than 2700 for the year, which I thought was really responsible use of their money and then The list of the stuff they do I'm not gonna list it, but it's great great stuff for them takes a lot of burden off and then the list of the stuff they do, I'm not gonna list it, but it's great, great stuff for them, takes a lot of burden off. And then we had to get our AGA report into them so we can fund them and also use their services. And I called Jack and they had it within an hour. So Jack, you made me look really good. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Jordan-ellie. Councilmember Humbert. We've had housing authorities had a virtual meeting. It was by phone actually the end of last month. And it was very good. But in the interim housing authority director Joseph Espinoza sent out a report, couple reports. First on how the housing authority was trying to keep places maintained and keep deal with his clients with full COVID protection. And the latest one came out about a week ago and it is how the steps they're taking to help their clients whether the COVID crisis. Meanwhile, as I'm alternate on Marks and Rick, I've been virtually on every path and actually a lot of questions. People have stopped to be on the routes on our routes. And I've tried to keep going. And I've tried to keep going. I've tried to keep going. I've tried to keep going. I've tried to keep going. I've tried to keep going. I've tried to keep going. I've tried to keep going. I've tried to keep going. I've tried to keep going. I've tried a couple questions. People have stopped the clock to me on the routes, on our routes and I've tried to keep track of what they wanted and talk to people about that. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Humbert. Council Member Blockhurst. Thank you Mayor. We're so waiting for a couple of my boards to come up on meeting. But what I've been doing a lifetime since I can't go to see that there's still work going on in the city. Parks crews and then a great job putting bigger signs out there so people understand using a caution tape to surround the restrooms and playgrounds. And they probably have to redo that once a week because kids like tear things down because that's fun for kids. If you haven't been over to Veterans Park, you didn't have those in the playground is finished. It's amazing. Of course, it's not open. So I didn't play on it, but that new, rubberized play surface is amazing. It looks terrific. It's bound to be a big for the kids. I think every park in the city eventually will want that surface just because it's so colorful and so safe for the kids. And I see that the founders park there continues to move along. It's gonna be a beautiful, beautiful park there for people to walk through and for people to see as they enter the city of Brighton. So I'm pretty excited about all the parks. As you can tell, I do have a couple of problems with our sidewalks, but thank you very much, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Block here. So it'll be exciting to bill of play again when we get to that point. Council member Watts I see you're about to take off on an aircraft so let's get you before you take off there. Well thank you Mr. Mayor. You know really have been any meetings except for the fire district and chief shoot the cover that presentation last Tuesday in our meeting with what our meeting was about. So great information with that. I'm so waiting for a few of the other boards to to come on board with doing some Zoom meetings, but um hasn't happened yet. You know, just a couple things. First off, you know, just like the restaurants or the residents know that while we may be coming out of this slowly with the virus and and some of the restrictions being lifted, just continue to buy local, you know, our economy here locally, the restaurants. So if you do go out and get your nails done and your and your dog grooming and your and your haircut like myself and don't try it at home. Just remember the local people, the ones that weren't working, the ones that were there for you that supported you when they weren't working before, and now you can go back there and return to that favor, or it's all I'm asking, just stay local with that, as best as possible. Also, I know it's coming up on that, and we've talked about it before and I'd sent a couple emails that residents have brought to my attention to Falconberg into our mayor and Really recognizing our graduates just coming up here in another month and You know, it's tough and I know we're working on it. Christians got some great stuff going with her team with you know in the information department which is great banners as such but you know just a quick quick story and you know I graduated high school and I'll go ahead and throw my year out there 85 so many many years ago and we didn't get to have a graduation we our graduation was cancelled that night because of a the two juniors in place. Now back then, nobody cared about Bon Threds. We got a slap on the wrist, it was a no big deal, but we didn't get to walk. So we missed that on our graduation and so it was tough. And I know what I went through with that. So I know what these seniors, somewhat are having to go through, not being able to finish their last two months off with their friends, say goodbye to them and then move on to their next challenges and life and their opportunities. And we really need to do a lot for our, as much as we can to celebrate their accomplishments through high school and through their school lives. And I know we brought up and I've sent an email about where a resident had mentioned, hanging their pictures down our roads like we do with like we have hanging now we're gonna put the banner up I get that but just something we can do and I just urge everybody if you know a high school senior in your area just please reach out to them and thank them and show them your support and just congratulate them for what they have a completion. It's a shame they can't continue on and being in front of their families and and get on stage and give that thumbs up that they just got there at the plumber. So just I thank all the graduates and I thank you guys for understanding and working hard to get where you're at and I appreciate that. So thank you very much. Thank you, Council Member Watts. Mayor Pro Tem. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I echo a lot of of statements made already. We'll said the one there's a couple of I just have a couple of quick things. One is I've been dealing with a few constituents over the past two weeks about social media interaction between the city staff, higher staff members and the public. A few of them were police officers, others were just staff. We need to know, the councilor Blackhurst said that we have signed contracts that that cannot happen. We've also been told by our acting city manager that there's been discipline handed down. I wanna know what's going on with that because the reality is we have multiple staff members telling constituents that nothing has happened on purpose because nothing was done incorrectly. So when I get those calls from constituents, I'm saying, no, it's being handled. We need to deal with that. And I appreciate the time and effort that that takes. But I don't know what the rule is. I believe in First Amendment rights. I obviously do not comment back personally, even though I'm one of the only one of us that is on social media heavily, it's very important that we know what the stipulation is. So let's get on top of that. So that's the bad news. Let's go to the really good news. That project that we discussed during our day long study session, breakout session, whatever you'd like to call it, the project with the sports tourism as much further than we imagined that it would. We now have a possibility of dedicated land in Adams crossing for it. Marthalcon Bird, thank you very much for the letter. I wanted it quicker than I got it, but the letter that you sent to me today to get to E470 to get the stable interchange done was spectacular. It was well-written, and now we're headed forward. If we can get to E470, to get the stable interchange done was spectacular. It was well-written, and now we're headed forward. If we can get the E470 intersection done at stable and make that interchange real, then we have within the next five years, this project will now go forward, which changes the entire landscape of our city and as a regional thing. And I've been working very hard on it with the Acting City Manager, a couple of county commissioners. And it's going forward on Thursday. We're going to be meeting and talking about it Thursday morning. So this could be big. And this could really change the forefront of what our city looks like. So that's my main project. And I'll be sending you all legally through Jack and Marv sending you the letter so you can see it as it goes forward and let you know what happens on Thursday. But this is real now. And we're talking, sorry, Mark, what was the money, just the money that's coming in, not alone, but what happens with the infrastructure? How much money per year was that from taxes that if we get this done, do you remember? I don't remember that number. I think it's 21 million. I don't want to miss, but I think it was 21 million a year comes in for taxes in the city of Brighton. So I'll double check that, but this is huge. And we will have to spend a very minimal amount. So I'll let you all know what happens on Thursday, but that's what I've been working on. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you. Council, proud to work with all of you. Thank you. That's great news. Hopefully that becomes reality as we progress forward there. Councilmember Pollock. Well, really, I thought you had forgot about me. I'm not in that. Well, anyway, it doesn't matter.

They'll keep these kids out of jail. They'll keep them out of real trouble if you catch it early. So I just want to kind of give it a little plug that we have that resource called the link.
