Any remarks by governing body members?

1:00

City manager.

1:02

I do, madam chair.

1:02

I wanted to share with you.

1:04

I learned today a project that I've I've been uh focused on a little bit for a couple of years now, and that is the sewer rehabilitation work that is being done behind City Hall.

1:14

As the council members know, uh we started with the work in the alleys on the west side because of the number of businesses that were affected to get that work complete, and our utility department engineering construction uh department did amazing job.

1:28

Uh the the those alleys look incredible and it's unbelievable uh how much piping or utilities are underground within our alleyway, so try to manage those is not easy.

1:41

So uh I want to take them open to share some good news on an update on the sewer reel rehabilitation project that's behind City Hall.

1:48

Uh we're gonna be doing a trenchless uh sewer repair project that will extend from East College Street through the alleyways between Main Street and First Street, continuing south on uh Fort Worth.

2:00

What is particularly exciting about this work is the technology being used rather than excavating than replacing the sewer line, our contractor in situ form is the name of the company will install what is known a cured in place pipe or CIPP lining.

2:14

Essentially, a new epoxy-based liner is installed and cured inside the existing pipe.

2:19

Once the liner is in place, a robotic cutting machine is used to reopen the existing pipe.

2:24

So actually, this is a less intrusive way to actually take care of those lines to extend the life of those lines.

2:32

Um we're gonna be doing this as I mentioned up and down there.

2:35

Uh there is going to be some night work that's going to be done between the hours of 9 p.m.

2:39

and 7 a.m.

2:40

in approximately one block.

2:42

And so I just want to send a shout out to to Tim Robbins who provided this information, his crew, the ingenuity of thinking what is the best way to do this and not to to upset the businesses.

2:52

Obviously, they're trying to work uh to get this work done so eventually we can go back and do the paving in those areas.

2:58

And so thanks to Tim and his team and the engineering construction team for helping making this happen.

3:02

So I just want to let council know that work will be happening uh very very soon.

3:07

That's all I have, Mayor.

3:08

Wonderful.

3:08

Thank you.

3:09

There is no executive session.

3:12

Make a motion with second sure.

3:17

I had to find it.

3:22

All right, I call the broken arrow economic development authority to order roll call.
