[0:04:15] that motion carries next on the agenda is a resolution for surplus property in the police department the conveyor board will have a 2004 chevrolet suburban that is uh no longer of any use to the department it's pretty much outlived its life expectancy we're requesting for it to be declared circles properly so that we can dispose of it according to state model second we have a motion bomber in florence second alderman wheeler is there any discussion yes that motion carries next on the agenda is a resolution for sergeant thomas jones uh retirement uh mayor ward we request that uh sergeant thomas jones be able to be allowed to retain his service weapon he is retiring with uh 30 years of service to the south african police department that would be important or as allowed by state law i'll make that motion as well second is there any discussion i'd like to thank sergeant jones for his service and hearing no other discussion roll call please yeah yes yes thank you that motion carries thank you uh next on the agenda is a resolution for uh qualified resort status basically uh when we now start us off if there any

[0:06:18] any other details nick is helping us with this this is similar to what we did at uh tanger back in 2015 just it gives certain incentives and abilities for certain designated areas in the city through the department of revenue the reason that this has been requested for the amphitheater is so that it changes the hours that alcohol may be sold it also allows the ability in addition to beer and certain wines it allows liquor to be sold during the concerts at the amphitheater and allow a third-party vendor to not have to be hired that would be done directly by live nation so that's basically what it's about uh it has the details in there designates the hours and is restricted to a certain area i believe it has the amphitheater snow house and the tennis center but it's not something that would be open you know to the entire park for obvious reasons you know we want to be careful that we keep a family friendly environment at the park but with the concerts and then at the tennis center there can be social functions that are held there at the tennis center and obviously like we're doing now the snoke house so those are the reasons that that's being requested after we or if the board chooses to approve this tonight we'll gather a packet and we'll send that to the department of revenue then they'll have to approve that for it to be fine mr may i move we adopt a resolution of the mayor and board of aldermen of south haven authorizing the mayor to apply to the mississippi department of revenue for qualified resort area status second you have motion baller in pain second baltimore wheeler is there any discussion motion will also include i don't that's in their advertising to settle times we have to give public advertising this at a time that's what your emotional include that's all right any other discussion

[0:10:33] rotation uh record policy and those that are included on that list for this year for the year 2019 we have six towing companies that we have on the list before you that has been approved they do meet all of the criteria and our policies and past inspections and those are robert's towing choice towing auto rescue cleans garage gossip tracker service and elite toy and transport doing businesses with griffith towing those are the six that we request to be approved for inclusion in this year's record rotation list and did have one that that did not meet all criteria that we did not include on this list i'll make that we have a motion ballroom painting second part and kelly is there any discussion chief is there didn't you uh have some desires to change that policy or something you said it was a loophole or something you found you wanted to try to change yes sir in in our policy uh we have discovered uh two areas that uh need to be addressed uh two sections of the uh record policy that needs to be addressed and need to make changes too uh first one is going to be uh on page two section three of subsection a4 which deals with a change of ownership uh if somebody else comes in and purchases the record company under the existing and current policy the change is allowed they would be suspended off the rotation list until they made application for approval regardless of time frame that is contradictory to our policy in two ways

[0:12:37] number one is we only do this once a year and in number two it doesn't provide for the two-year prior ownership and being in business here as a business that the policy requires so with that confusion we want to strike that and have a change to upon change of ownership the towing company will be removed from the record rotation list a towing company shall not assign its interest in the record rotation list to a new owner and then the second change would be on page six section six subsection f which currently allows for a person to own multiple towing companies and be on the rotation list this has caused problems when we initially made the change in 2017 we anticipated that uh what it might do would be to give more growth how other record companies open up further on the east side where we could potentially start having the response closest to where it was needed done that is not going to at this point be able to occur what we would have to do is divide the city into zones and how the record companies in different zones and how them responding in zones right now every towing service that we have is state line of 51 area which is on the west side of the city we don't have anything on the east so actually uh that change is not going to wind up benefiting the police department and trying to get records on scenes quicker and get things cleared up like we hadn't hoped so what we would like to do is go back to the original uh version of our first policy where it is prohibited now for a person to own two or more and both of them be or all of them be on the rotation list you can strictly have one rotate one record on the list regardless of how many you own

[0:14:41] now in the future again if uh if the expansion goes uh and as we get more records if we get more records before we can look at dividing up into zones then we can look at readdressing right now it does cause confusion uh it has not helped us in in any way and and chief you did a great job explaining that if i may add to that just to back up a little bit and share a little history in 2017 it was brought to my attention that it could be a benefit to the city if we did allow different companies not just people you know splitting their lot in half and getting more uh spots on rotation but if they actually had a different company you could do as cheap as mentioning it could help our rotation by faster response times if they were in a different zone other places around the city so at that time i brought that to chief's attention went before the ordinance committee board voted upon it at that time and it was our hope at that time that it was gonna help give us better response time so uh but it was never intended to be a situation where someone uh just formed two businesses that were at the same location and so that's why after you know bringing that back uh to chief's attention he believes that uh that's that it would not be beneficial unless uh these second businesses at a different location which would allow faster response times i had some calls last week about this that's why i want to speak to make sure everybody's clear on that but it was a board approved thing and that was the reason we did that because we felt like it was going to give us better response time i would still be hopeful that maybe in the future that we can have record services that are spread out somewhat i know that zoning plays a big part in that um and i'm assuming that the reason all the records uh towing services are in one area has to do with our industrial zone and um but anyway maybe in the future there would be a way that we could have them spread out through the city uh which would would cause us to take a new look at this correction yes that's correct okay but anyway i had many calls about that

[0:16:45] last week so are there any anybody else have any questions about why we did that or why that was recommended i thought that was what we did to begin with i thought it was if it was more than one location that they could have correct it was always done well it was done the amendment was done in 2017 in paragraph six to allow one individual that owned two separate companies that were filed with the secretary of state's office if he would have to be a true different company fully staffed to meet all the other requirements and also at a different location so that's why that was done but evidently there was a little bit of confusion about that so are we striking that is that that's what he's recommending are we doing that now or is that something that in the future that we're going to recommend uh if the board knows it's not i'll make the changes in the morning it'll be effective okay and ultimately like i've told the people that have asked me about this uh when when people came to me i i told them i would take it to the police chief first and then obviously to the board of aldermen but ultimately you know we rely on the police chief to make the decisions on on what uh you know gets our streets cleaned up the fastest and keeps our streets safe so i would never propose anything that uh that was not you know blessed by the police chief to make our streets safer so that's how we got to this point but but i believe it's the police chief's decision on what he thinks is the you know most effective way for us to uh you know to tow the cars after we have wrecks mr mayor as a chief recommendation i make a motion to change those two paragraphs okay can i ask one we'll take that motion and is there well i'll wait is there a second exactly okay so we have a motion balance can we vote on the first record rotation motion first then come back to this one okay okay yeah okay let's back up if that's okay we'll back up because i did have a i want to clarify one other thing the second thing that um i do let's go ahead and do what nick's talking about and then my question will be after that okay so is there a motion to approve the record rotation yes okay motion volume flores

[0:18:48] second of all to gallagher is there any other discussion on the rotation hearing known roll call yes okay that motion carries and then uh before we vote on the second one i want to ask one other question about the comments you made the first thing that you propose and change and that would be in a situation where let's say that someone wanted to sell their business to another towing company in the city well regardless it could be anybody if somebody from memphis would come down and purchase okay so basically what you're saying is there there is no assumption like you can't just be if if this individual business is on the rotation now and there's a change of ownership that takes them off there is no guarantee that they they don't automatically assume that position on the rotation that is correct they would come off of the rotation uh and then once the new owners met the criteria of the policy then they could apply for inclusion on the okay location okay i understand that does everybody else understand that yeah and then the other thing i wanted last little quick comment about um in 17 when it was requested that one individual be able to have two uh it was also with the assumption based on your recommendation that it'd be in a separate location it was never and again i i know word travels it gets kind of silly sometimes but it was never an intention to allow one person to just split their lot in half and get two spots on the rotation okay so just i want to make sure everybody understands that and we're striking that based on on the recommendation that does not benefit the city unless they were in different zones which we don't have here correctly correct okay okay so is there a motion to uh prove the changes that um that chief pearl's making the city i'll make that mention a second okay we have a motion baller wheeler second ballerman hoots is there any other discussion what chief

[0:20:51] will just put that new result you can keep right there with just the new um policy in the minutes that's what we put in the minutes for tonight with the with the revised version so the minutes will actually have the new policy you'll just give that new policy to andrew at the reflecting the minutes what was voted on is there any other discussion hearing none wrong yeah yes that motion care thank you thank you all right next one is jen is our planning agenda this way he cook i guess our first application is a subdivision uh request for the gardens of beltway phase two this is gonna be on the north side of church road just east of getwell baseline is already under construction it's going to be between snowden grove and the existing bellpoint subdivision this will have portions of a 55 and up community in it as well as single-family residential it was approved as a pud back in 2018 it is compliant with that putt in terms of the lot sizes the heated spur footage minimums and the common open spaces so it was voted unanimously in favor of by the planning commission with one recommendation to change the street names by the fire department police department there's one code that you'll see on the bottom there and they've got a north and a south require request for the coves and we're asking them to change that because that gets a little confusing to dispatch so we're having them change that but otherwise in that there was no other request mr make a motion to approve item number one on the planning commission agenda second okay i don't want to have a motion by alderman wheeler second bottom of fluoresce is there any discussion so if they're changing the street name the code names or the uh well they can they're going to have to basically change the street now it's the same street name but they used it as east and what era i'm sorry north and south

[0:22:54] actually and they haven't is it on our paperwork i'm sorry the names aren't on here uh it was kensington cove kensington way north and south they gave us a list on an email i sent those over to chris shelton uh he passed them on to chief colonel and chief scallions they came back and said we don't really like the north and south obviously for dispatching purposes it causes confusion sent that back to the developer and he is going to have those changed we'll resubmit those into 9-1-1 dispatch make sure that they're okay but we're trying to get away from the north south east west directional street names because it does cause some confusion so we'll have that corrected before we apply it so emotional reflects subject to the north and south or directional locations being removed from the street well the street we'll have the streams completely changed because okay we don't want a parkway situation like no no more parking okay is there any other discussion on one hearing none roll call yeah yes no motion carries item number two is a parcel of property that's a 4.35 acres that is owned by the cronin family right now that is actually a portion of property that the city of south heaven is looking into purchasing as part of the snowden grove expansion project um you'll see there's an 80 foot ingress egress on the north end which will allow access not only to the park expansion but also future access into the career development property once they decide to do future development it is compliant with um single lot subdividing with bulk regulations uh and all of our subdivision application requirements uh we did not place a recommendation on it simply because it was a city of south haven application but in the staff report we will state that it is comply with all regulations mr mayor make a motion to approve item number two on planet agenda

[0:25:01] we have a motion baller and wheeler second baller matutes is there any discussion on two hearing roll calls yes that motion carries item number three we have a request for design review for a funeral home facility on the northwest corner of getwell road in dead meadows lane this is currently a commercial piece of property that was zoned back in the 90s a funeral home is allowed by wright as a permitted use on the property as you'll see they have designed it to be residential and appearance it does have a shingle group hip roof brick facade it is located like i said on a hard corner dumbbells is a no access single line residential drop that goes to single family residential they did have a landscape plan that was adopted by the planning commission with no comments the resident army the residential appearance and elevations were adopted with no comments the only thing that we had asked them to do is initially they had very minimal parking on it um since it was a funeral home facility and sometimes they can be overcrowded this is one that is expanded out of hernando that has an overcrowding issue we did ask them to do an expansion on the parking what you see there was what they submitted we have found a way to expand over in that area just off of dove meadows lane and they have been able to supply 17 more additional parking spaces so that was a requirement by the planning commission and it was approved with that edition of those parking stalls but other than that it was approved and recommended by the planning commission unanimously this may make much to approve item number three on funding second we have a motion wheeler second of all flores is there any discussion on item

[0:27:04] three where exactly is dove meadows at it is north of goodman um it's it's north of github church right before you thought daycare there used to be two old brick signs on each side of it that said meadows lane uh you probably wouldn't know if you saw it these are two old vacant lots and then it's um just like i said a single street that goes into some old branch doll homes that have probably been there since the early 70s um it's just a large lot subdivision by two acre lots you wouldn't know the lane if you saw it you passed the street i would have never known it now you've never even paid attention to it like i said these two lots on the corner have been zoned commercial since the early 90s and just that vacant but uh the mayor called and asked me about it today and you know some people ask about funeral homes but it is a very uh non-intrusive commercial use that actually fits well into residential properties he's done a great job in designing it to have a residential appearance a very attractive funeral home i know that there should be some appearance he modeled after a home in castle ridge so it's got the very hip root the finials on top solid brick arched windows it's a beautiful appearance so it should be a nice asset to the area any other discussion on three hearing none roll call yeah yes that motion carries our next application is for a bank on the hard northeast corner of nail road and get ball road and it is for guarantee bank this bank has submitted for design review also um obviously this is going to be in the snow district area so we asked them to do a much harder landscape appeal to it especially on that hard corner that they are revising even further for us we asked them to do some arched windows add some limestone into it obviously some bronze appearance to it they've come back about four times with some design review

[0:29:07] they've still got some further detail to work on to give it more main street appeal in terms of the lighting and the sconces on the building they're acting they're adding some decorative lighting up and down gettwell road as well as on nail road i said some lighting on and details on the building but overall it was approved unanimously on the building materials and the raised parrot roof you see here um the limestone they used on the building the old brick they used some of the pushed out mortar to make it look like a it's an aged building and that's what you see here like i said they've got some minor changes to do and they've got a red line landscape copy that they have to work on with us administratively but overall they've asked for approval again the sleeve up planning commission mr mayor make a motion to approve item number four on the plan agenda second we have a motion ballerman wheeler second ballroom in flores is ring discussion on item four have you ever seen atm coverage no we've had a discussion about that too that it was very hard to go with the mainstream appeal and then go with a very modern looking uh atm cover so we're in discussions with that as well we had a really good design team that has come in and we gave them pictures of the bank across the street we have pictures of the chop house building uh the le honor building that's going into play so it is still a work in progress these are the minor adjustments they're making the overall building is kind of what we were here for um but they are making those adjustments but the atm and those coverage are something we were addressing i mean it's different well but you can't have a you can't have a main street building that has kind of a an old feel and then go very modern with with your drive-throughs it kind of throws you off so they're they're addressing that for us as well and then is there going to be adequate lighting too so that's not nice they have they have standard parking lot lighting but we're also making them add a decorative acorn lighting like i said up and down um gallery one of the things that we've got many of the buildings doing here this

[0:31:08] one's no different all the parking's in the back so the building's shoved up to gateway road and nail road all parking will be behind it um so the streetscape appeal will be the building itself grass the decorative gliding and landscape only you will not have the parking in the front you will not have the parking on the side where you can see it from the street um so they will have the led standard shoe box lighting in the parking lot in the rear every bit of the lighting in the front will be your acorn lighting and then the main street sconces on the building and their ingredients will be on both mainland you have a shared ingress egress on the north end because there is another lot to the north of it and then you have a right in right out only on nail road yes that motion cares our next application is for a new branding of ihg hotels we're now in the millennial stages of hotels so you'll recall we had what's called the true hotel by hilton which is their millennial hotel this is the new branding called avid from the ihg which is your hotel indigos and your holiday inns this is actually proposed on marathon way where you have the full service holiday inn um over behind the car dealerships um it has got your standard loud coloring like a lot of millennial hotels have uh we did have them tone it down dramatically it had an aqua blue that was all over it and we kind of we took that away they do have a great youtube they have some red accent they have a very minimal amount of aqua but we did tone down put some dark brick color on the bottom and they agreed all of that um they're making those adjustments for us now the brick samples ended up they're everywhere on your table here um they did agree to all of that it's been the most toned down any abbotts have done but this is the first one in this area um the landscape has been adjusted their site plane was approved and with those

[0:33:11] changes to the tone down of the color and landscape redline planning commission did those unanimously in favor of it [Music] we have a motion volume of pain second volume of wheeler yes our next application is for a small warehouse facility spec building to be located on haywood davis subdivision lot 2 which is going to be just south of the walgreens at state line airways it's approximately 8.72 acres it is located in the plain business park zone district right next to the cooper lighting building on airways which is another warehouse building uh the building itself is 156 000 square feet which is much smaller than what we have as a standard and like i said it is a spec building you'll see in the drawings standard tilt-up concrete building uh it does have faux windows and glass features for the entry points there's three entry points on the building all facing south parking is situated on the three sides they do have a heavy landscape screen along airways we have asked them to put in the decorative lighting we asked them to make some adjustments on the landscaping the building actually is pretty standard to what we have associated with that overall planned business part so we did not have any adjustments to the building itself they agreed that the changes in the addition to the decorative acorn lighting above entry points so the planning commission did vote unanimously in payroll at that point mr mayor moved to approve item number six on the planning agenda as presented on last night

[0:35:16] motion baller mckelly second ballerman hoots is there any discussion on item six hearing none roll call yes that motion carries all right next on to jenna's request for approval to submit to the transportation improvement program the 2020 to 2023 amended schedule including carryover and new projects yes mpa requires that we have um this adjust added to a public hearing for approval by the board any new projects or carryover projects to the new tip cycle our tip cycle is when we submit our projects usually for an 80 20 split as we've done with so many of our projects we do have two carryovers and one new project that we're submitting for the 2020 to 2023 cycle the two carriers are going to be obviously getting road south our wyoming project which i think everybody's familiar with and also our main street pedestrian path which the mayor talks about quite often uh the new project i think he's mentioned as well is the state state line road resurfacing project from ipd5 to oklahoma which will be to get a new resurfacing along here um so we need permission to carry those projects over and avenue into the tip cycle this does not include both of our pedestrian trail projects because they're already allocated funds and already undergoing construction and bidding process those are still good but we're not required to have those go back through this process this is just something formal that we have to have to continue on to get those funds carried over and for the new projects to go into the mpo tip cycle so if i can just get you to guys to vote so i can show them that we're all in favor of it is there any discussion no it's just it just has to be on your

[0:37:17] agenda to have a vote any discussion hearing non-roll call here yes that motion carries thank you next on the agenda's request to reject all bids and rebid the multi-use trail connecting central and snowden parks mr dan cordell mayor board um unfortunately we took bids on january 23rd for the bike trail between the central park and snowden those bids came in significantly higher than both the states and our estimates um to be honest they were two contractors we weren't familiar with and i'm not quite sure really why we didn't have more interest in local contractors but we did not uh we had several that were bidding on other projects and were determining whether they were going to get those whether they wanted this one or not so we had the state compare their estimates for the area for this type of work uh their estimates were about 1.8 million our estimates were between 1.6 and 1.8 bids came in between 2.4 and 2.9 million so at this point i recommend that i do not believe those were just prices i wanted to adjust some of the items that i think they may have had problems with would be in stone we're going to open up some soil cement options for the bidders but at this time i recommend that we reject these bids second we have a motion monitor florida the second ballroom in pain is there any discussion you want to go out to bed against me i need a separate motion for uh i think because then i'll warm up pending i'm not approaching that's what it is

[0:39:22] so we had a motion uh to reject the bids for calling with flores second baller been paying is there any other discussion on rejection events hearing none all in favor say aye all posts say no i just have a motion carries to reject the bids now is there a is there a motion to authorize rebuilding the project so moved to a second promotion modern flores second baltimore gallagher was there any discussion just by the way dan and i were talking about this it is going to set us back about four to six weeks right yes which after eight years everyone's gonna die right don't kill anybody on the motion rebid this author also includes central bidding to help with electronic bidding process okay is there any other discussion on authorizing the new people hearing done all favor say hi all posts say no mayor's report a few things i want to update the board about last week as you know you did authorize me to represent the city of south haven and uh to go to washington d.c to discuss the memphis horn lake creek seward district contract uh we did do that and just give you a follow-up report uh we felt like it was a successful trip that we're able to speak to senators wicker and hud smith and also we met with congressman trent kelly and i explained the issue they were very good to us gave us plenty of time very patient let us go through the history of what the issue is and we left that and left town with senator wicker going to take the lead on that and to reach out to the director of epa and get a formal ruling or opinion from the director of epa as soon as we get that

[0:41:25] then we'll know what the next step is you know to move move towards the solution field of dreams playground is uh y'all aware of that that's one of our projects on our parks enhancement expansion plan uh y'all seen the uh the renderings i'm happy to tell you that is under construction now so we'll be excited to have that there at the park and a lot of people are very excited about that and so i'm gonna um i did admit uh by the way let me stop um our boy scout uh group 73 i know we have some people that named you you weren't here you were late i saw you're late anyway you weren't here but i see that you kind of strolled in i just wanted to welcome you and uh thank you for coming to the meeting it's important to learn about what's going on in your city to be a good citizen we appreciate you taking the time to be here to listen so very you're very welcome to be here and back to uh just the last thing uh y'all are familiar with the city monument signs that we've been planning for about four years we did get those designed they did go out to bid we got the bid back on january 25th since we've met last so i was going to ask you to accept those bids tonight they did come back in line with what we proposed there's two designs that we're working on there's an interstate city entrance sign that is the the straight sign that we have plans to put up on i-55 going what's actually on the southbound lane that will be facing the northbound lane just north of starlanding road there's a hill right there it's the ideal location to have a grand entrance to the city very excited about that that would be the first location then the second one is going to be what we're calling uh district monument signs and these will be the ones if you may remember the design that is uh has a uh a curvature it's a you know like an arch designed to kind of wrap around the intersection

[0:43:27] so this bid was to include one of each the numbers on it we had estimated that uh to do two signs like that it was going to cost us i mean one of each for a total of two i was going to be about 150 000 and actually the lowest bid came in at 150 337 so it's right on on the mark there you approved funding for this in the fy 19 budget under beautification we have 199 000 uh still left in that budget line so that's how we'll pay for it then we will have the balance of that rather than trying to get the third sign in this year we're just going to take the balance of that and do some landscaping projects throughout the city then next year we'll come back and try to knock out two more so the first two locations will be as i mentioned uh the one on 55 near star landing the second one will be the district sign and it will be in our original business district it'll be on the southwest corner of us of i-55 and state line so when you exit i-55 on a state line road going southbound you'll be facing it when you come off the intersection we thought that was one of the most high profile locations you know to make a statement you know when you when you come into the city so there y'all remember i showed them a thousand times i know you're sick of me talking about it but they're beautiful signs they're absolutely beautiful they're brick-based signs they'll have landscape lighting so it'll do a lot to just give that grand entrance when you come into the city that was one of the first things that i mentioned when i became mayor in 2013 is there's no grand entrance you know south haven is the uh is the northern threshold to the state of mississippi you know when you cross the state line coming out of tennessee into mississippi we need to let people know that we're proud of our state no offense to him doc but the the blue signs just don't do it for me okay we need a we need a good sign uh these are going to help us accomplish that same thing you know coming from the south when you come into south haven you're

[0:45:29] going to know it and i think it makes a huge statement uh to what kind of city we are so but anyway those are the details on it and i'm asking you tonight for a motion to accept that bid okay i've got a motion of alderman flores second of all kelly any other discussion oh it's uh i'm sorry it's it's fnf construction and that is documented in the city clerk's office if anyone wants that the bid was open on january 25th we did have four bidders and epinephrines they love us and one of the there is one other question when we did this we did allow for an ad alternate so like if we do the ones next year nick do we have to bid that again since they we added that into the off we did an ad alternate in the bid and they did that as well they did 73 000 for an individual uh district sign you could go i mean it depends on if you're accepting them all if not you would have to if you have to accept them all tonight and see if they'll honor it for a year from now i don't know if they'd be willing to honor it that long or do you know i don't know um let's hop into that okay again you can go ahead and ward the low bid after that probably 50 300 but if you want to add an ultimate throw one you have to find out the one on earth for over a year or not okay but if we if we did choose to come back we could we could build that third one since they did did that already yeah i think we could i think we could just look at the decisions that's not the blame because we had a budget too so that's not the plan so if you went ahead and we're tonight i think you could i think the only issue would be once you're working tonight can you come back and award an offer later i'd answer i don't know if i have to look into that okay let's don't worry about that tonight my recommendations may not do that board okay my recommendation is what the motion was to approve two signs to do this budget here is there any other discussion hearing now in roll call
