No votes were taken; decisions are anticipated at the next regular meeting.
Okay, everybody, let's call to order. It's the Tuesday, October 13th agenda session. Welcome everyone. We will get right into it. We have a packed agenda next week with several presentations that staff I know has been working on for quite some time. But first up next week on consent agenda, right after the minutes will be item A2, a resolution to amend the lease agreement with OSM Aviation Academy to approximately 1,128 square feet of office space in the airport terminal building. My understanding is that this is essentially the same lease, but they need a little bit more space than they originally thought. And Chris is here and can answer questions about that if you have them. Oh Miss Moore. Yeah, thank you, Mayor. I just had wondered about uh what other possible square footage is potentially gonna become available just based on what our current leases look like right now. I think they have in their contract the first rider refusal, I think, as things become available, and I know they've been a little bit slower, and we were looking at that being kind of revenue generation. So I'm just curious about are there other possible um square footages of leases that could become available soon. Right. So uh really about the only other space if you know where the uh where the old airport administration offices were, kind of towards the back of the terminal. Uh there was a conference room there that's now be used by the by the skydive company. Um, if for some reason that became available, it's really kind of cut off from all of the other uh areas of the airport. So that uh would be a space that OSM might potentially want to take, but otherwise, I don't expect there to be any other spaces. Great. Thank you, Chris. Our next item is about the MILSAP and college intersection improvement funding. It's a resolution to approve a budget amendment recognizing escrow funds from the Mud Creek Bridge Assessment for the MILSAP College Intersection Improvements Project in the amount of 370,288 dollars. Justin Bland, our city engineer, is here to speak to that. Um should you have any questions about it. Okay, we will move on to item A4, the Combs Park Improvement. This is a contract amendment. It's a resolution to approve amendment number one to the professional services agreement with half associates incorporated in the amount of $59,698 to add design and construction administration services necessary to complete the design and construction plans for Combs Park. Melissa from our parks department is here to have answer questions, as is Alison if needed. Ms. Turk. Oh, I would love to hear an update. That'd be great. Okay, great. Either Melissa or Allison, will you give us just a general update, please? Thank you. I know we're all excited about this project coming to fruition. Yes, yes, thank you. Happy to give an update. Um Melissa Evans, park planner. And um, so back in 2023, half an associates was contracted to do the design work for this wonderful park. Um they reached probably 75% completion, uh, minus you know, submitting uh large scale um for approval um from planning commission and then also engineering permits. Um at around around um I guess it was last year. WCRC is doing the work in the river directly next to this park, and so those items need to be coordinated. They're designed with ours. Uh their funding was withheld indefinitely. Um it's federal funding, so uh we instructed half to put this on the shelf until further notice.
