All right, so it's five o'clock, five forty five o'clock in 46 seconds.

Um we'll get this um meeting started and let's start around the table.

We'll start on this in.

Parliament seven color fifth board Ben Job Jen 6th board breakdown first board.

Uh Frank Holly, Service Commissioner and uh uh Commissioner Gusler will not be here tonight yet in the family, so it'll be absent with post control.

Sorry, Nicole Gleason.

I'll grip aldermen at large.

Mary McGinnis, third board, Jasper Newton.

Alder Woman at large and Tim by Gelease and uh interim city administrator.

Thanks to me.

And over here, yeah.

Oh no, um see a call.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

All right, so um we had three items, uh three updates tonight on business before the um uh council and commission.

And the first is uh update on um discussion on the job jobs posting.

Um I believe that uh you have received an email about this.

Um and um Miss Fleming, do you want to um do you want to have any comments on this or or anything you want to want to run over the highlights?

Sure.

So um I distributed a memo yesterday of Mr.

Neaton uh with an update on the job postings.

I can give you another update on that.

Um we worked with Director Lacy today, and those jobs, uh the three remaining jobs are actually posted.

So they are out and live on the city's website.

And does anyone have any questions up from the commission or anybody from the council have any questions about the thank you?

So basically we have uh for the the um the ones that are um were union, it was like we're passing the hurdle.

Um, and it looks like the it's at the state, there's a final ratification or something in the state, but that is typically not an issue.

Is that correct?

Uh so this is the first time we've done uh unit clarification like this.

Um what we are doing right now, there is a um proposed decision from the state that has to be posted and provided to potentially affected employees.

That's been done yesterday, um, and that has to be posted throughout the different city buildings uh through November 17th.

After that, the board will make their final decision if no objections are received by the board.

All right.

Anybody have any questions about this or comments?

Can you elaborate?

What do you mean you said posted throughout the buildings?

What does that mean?

So we give notice uh as I said to the potentially affected employees, so that's directly emailed to them.

There's three specific notices that you can be given to them.

Those same three notices are posted in city buildings where there are other apps meeting bargaining unit employees.

So, for example, public works, police department, city hall, uh, a few other buildings, uh, just to make sure their um bargaining unit members are aware of the uh the clarification.

So the jobs haven't gone public yet, is what no the jobs are live while we're waiting on the final decision from the state.

We've the jobs.

Okay, thank you.

Any other questions about that?

Okay, um, let's uh move on then to the update on office space, and I'll ask um director Gleason uh to Nicole Gleason to talk about that, please.

Sure.

So um city staff had Bray architects um do the due diligence exercise.

Um, and we received um there was a little bit of back and forth with Bray on some confusion on and what exactly their estimates meant.

So we went back for clarification and received that October 24th.

Um I then presented a memo to city council, which um I just distributed.

Um they they presented costs um for the ADA accessibility um and the remodel for um basically a ground level renovation, um, and then you can obviously read the full memo was around 1.2 million.

Um full full remodel, I think, including the upstairs was 1.8.

Um, and then obviously again the the city hall space, we still have estimated at 280, and then staff just said another option that council could consider was if if they if none of those options were amenable was potentially a lease, but we have not had a chance to meet with city council on the their preferred budget for this.

So we thought we would at least give you the information, um, gain any feedback, and then where we will defer to council um on next steps as far as a budget goes.

Question what was that last option?

I missed it.

Um, we just said if none of the three options, one of the uh options council could consider is a lease.

Um, not a lease, yes.

Okay, yeah.
