All right, good morning, everyone. We're gonna get this meeting started at 10 01 a.m. on March 2nd, 2026. All Board of Public Work Members are present uh looking for approval for the minutes from February 23rd, 2026. Motion made by Director Train, second by Council President Dickinson. Any discussion or corrections? CNN, please vote. All right, moving on to our first agenda item. Don't know how to say this word. Uh 260216 street privilege permit request for signs over right of way at 2006 Street South. Motion to approve by Director Gallagher. Is there a second second by Council President Dickinson? Uh Director Gallagher. Thanks, Mayor. Um, all of our questions have been answered. Um it's fine with engineering, and it sounds like building inspection approved as well. Any other discussion? Uh I will can you clarify the so the permit is essentially to put these existing signs into the new owner's name and to reface them. None of them are new, so they won't create any um any violations. Awesome. Thank you. All right. See no other discussion, please vote. That motion passes unanimously. Moving on to bidder's proof of responsibility 251168. I know there are three. Right? Yes. Okay. All right, Councilmember Gaga. Thanks, Mayor. Um, I had a developer reach out to me and ask why um why the bidder is required to re-up this every year, and why not add language to um maybe say if assets change that they need to let us know, but each year it seems to they feel it just puts another burden on them. I guess I could try to answer. I don't know if finance has any additional information, but as far as I know, we just are following state statutes, and every company who wants to do public work is required every year to re-up their insurance as well as their financial statements showing that they're qualified to bid. We've never done anything different. Director Hawkins, anything you would like to add? Thank you, Director Gallagher. Oh uh, yeah, thank you for the question. Um, certainly don't disagree with the fact that um can seem to be burdensome and troublesome, but to um go again with Director Gallagher's thoughts and process on this, more so on a state statute piece, but I think it's very important to know um companies can uh even flow right with their financials um pretty easy. I I don't think that this process asking them to do it on a yearly basis is unreasonable just for the fact that um it keeps make sure that that they're still able to perform these functions uh with what they're financially saying because again we don't know where they're going. So to have them do it yearly. I know it's a little bit of a uh cumbersome and a pain, but I would agree. Thank you. All right. Motion to approve by Director Train, second by Director Gallagher. Any other discussion? All right, please vote. Moving on to our next agenda item uh 260233 request to approve 2026 structure inspection quote. Is anyone from staff able to talk about this? Good morning.
