Okay, all right, Madam Clerk.

Public hearing today.

It's a public hearing to consider the proposed modification of a previously approved plan unit development for property located at 4350 Moffat Road public hearing to consider rezoning property located at 2602, 2610, 2612, 2614, and 2616, Old Shell Road and 1057 and 107 Item Avenue from R1 and B2 to B2.

Public hearing to consider an amendment to the downtown development district regulating plan to rezone property located at 250 St.

Francis Street from T 5.1 to T 5.2 Public Hearing to revoke the business license at 1608 St.

Stephen's Road.

Public hearing to declare the structures at 610 Pettit Avenue 507 Booker Street, 962 Government Street, 1551 Kellogg Street, public nuisances and ordering them demolished.

All right, Mr.

David.

Yeah, Mr.

President, I I've got an update for Mr.

Carroll on 962 government street, and I apologize.

I thought we had corrected our mistake.

This is listed as a demolition.

We're asking to secure this.

This is a historic structure in a historic district.

Now I do want to mention just uh Mr.

Carroll, just an update.

Uh, about three and a half, four years ago.

The current owners acquired this property.

They have made some improvements, but they are not at the point where they're um productive.

We have a history of demolition permits, certificates of occupancies being issued, where the pattern of the the owner will do some work and then they'll go stagnant.

The permits will expire.

We receive calls and complaints because we have the building that's exposed.

Um right now, the the property owner does not have a permit, and that is why we're here before council.

Uh it has expired, and the owner has not taken actions to go forward.

This is probably as installed by that is correct, yes.

That is correct.

Jesse has to have the work out there and open you.

That is correct.

This is when we talk about the structure of downtown and how we're finding people for not taking care of the property.

This is the type of business we need to be when we need to find people about uh a strong religious basically, right?

This property was uh better off secured before it was purchased, it was purchased in 80% of the buildings and demolished, but nothing done.

I I believe that's a good summary, Mr.

Carroll.

I would think that there needs to be some type of finding place on top of uh securing it because we secured it.

He has the ability.

It needs to be secured because he needs to be forced to do it.

I based on conversations with the owner.

I do expect him at the 1030 meeting, and maybe he'll provide some more insight.

But what you said is exactly true over his pattern, and we see that he is not moving forward to to finish the project.

And I would even also state that in the packet that's presented to council, there's an engineering report that does show some deficiencies and some recommendations with the framing.

Not 100%, 100%.

But um I don't even know if the building can be saved 100%, you know, what unless it's totally reframed, but that's not our responsibility.

If we're gonna secure it, then I mean we need to be sure that we're gonna be able to make sure it goes forward.

The other thing is that I saw a when I went by to look at it, I saw a uh cell sign on it.

It's been listed now.

So that is correct based on the others conversation I had with my staff that he's looking to sell property.

There's one small issue that he needs to get his renovation from it to secure the extra, but he's decided he's not gonna do that property.

That's what he's trying to think that the city should wait on the engineer to report that if we do take action to secure the building, we need to move to do so.

I'm fine with that.

All right, so we're changing this from uh demolished to secured, yes.

That is correct.

The ordinance that we submitted to the package of secure.

Okay, that we I did not get a chance to change on the okay.

One question do we talk to anybody in uh in engineering or uh the architecture office to see if we secured it?

Would it would it be stable enough to restore?

Uh at this point in time, no, because we don't have the authority to move forward to do that.

However, yes, municipal enforcement will work with the historic department for for some standards, and we will have to hire an architect to draw plans if we do secure the building.

So this is gonna be a major cost.

That is correct, and and I would expect those contracts to secure the building, would have to come back to to city council exceeding the $15,000 mark.

Uh I think that would I think there's more legal questions here now than they are just secure, and my concern would be uh recoverable cost would be my concern.

Now, I do want to just follow up and in conclusion that the notices that municipal enforcement has sent is for both securing and demolish.

If council feels it should be demolished based upon the engineer's report, you have the authority to do so.

Well, you know, I'm gonna ask that we save anything historic, especially on on a government street.

I just want to make sure that we have a proper way to do it, the proper way to secure it.

Also, that temporary fence, the people behind it.

I mean, so we need to make sure that we monitor that better or get a more secure fence to keep people from going in and out.

21 1258 authorized contract with our red architectural group for Dolphin Island Parkway New Community Center.

Uh council, I'm gonna ask for you all support on this particular resolution.

Uh 21-1258 and also um I'm gonna ask, you know, for um a vote uh for support on 09-1338.

Um both of these uh projects are some very, very important projects, not just in District Three, but inside the city of Mobile.

Um and I'd like to uh thank the mayor and administration and also um I would like to thank um even the people off of um at the um senior sales center foundation.

Um from years um back date me many many years.

Um this community have been asking for recreation uh center.

Um the closest recreation center um in this area is uh it's like five miles away.

Um my former colleague uh John Williams um had the center used to be located in District 4, but in 2010, the lines had changed.

But I'd like to thank um John Williams for listening to the residents um and ask because they would have been asking for a senior center.

So um back then um that administration and councilman Williams, they had went to a church and opened up a senior center at a church.

Um, my former um predecessor, uh Jermaine Burrell, he was able to move it from a church to the current building where it's at now, which we were leasing from Mobile Community Action.

Mobile Community Action was leasing from the school board.

So between John Williams and Jermaine Burrell, now we at CJ Small, and the people not only still asking for an up-to-date modern senior center, they're asking for a recreation center, which backdated towards Clinton Johnson days.

So many years um this community felt like they had been neglected.

And so now we're at CJ Small and Sandy Stimson days.

And uh I'd like to thank uh the mayor.

I know when he first came into office.

That was one of his first stops where he had his inauguration party at and um pretty much um right now, you know, the seniors have been asking for and the residents, you know, when you're coming back, Mr.

Mayor.

So right now, where we at now is that not only that this administration and this council had only not only provided um brought the land from Mobile County School Board, and right now what's in front of us is a design contract with money to build it, you know.

Uh, we even, you know, it's a great opportunity for residents, you know, across, you know, just not district three, but across the this area of town.

Uh we have many seniors throughout the years to even leave, you know, across different parts of you know, different districts to come down to South DIP because of the involvement at the senior center.

And uh one time we had even more high record numbers than the one on Hillcrest Road, which the city had once built years ago.

So um, this will give the opportunity for not the seniors just off the South DIP, but the seniors throughout this particular area, especially in that five mile radius to have an opportunity to go somewhere where they can have a modern senior center.

Also, this uh residents down there can have a modern and a recreation center, which they've been asking for for many years, and not even only that.

We have three schools down there, which is gear yard, BC Rain, and Pillins, and um pretty much need to nowhere for the kids to go out to school.

So right now we're looking to also have a boys and girls club housed down that particular way along with the food pantry.

So I am asking my colleagues to support this resolution that's in front of us on today.

All right, now clerk.

Okay, 09 1257 reallocate.

Oh, I read that on off.

Sorry.

21 1259 authorized contract with George Glazer for Glaser for professional services for the Office of Professional Responsibility.

Ms.

President, uh Mr.

Penn.

Um can someone uh let me know how long this will take for the upgrades.

This overall effort's got uh 275 working days, which translates into about two years.

We don't anticipate it taking that long.

I mean, it's really really a streetscapes type project, it's not replacing everything beneath the ground, but there is there is up to about two years allocated for it.

Okay, thank you, Nick.

Avenue complete streets project northwest of Butcher's Lane to Beauregard Street.

Ordinances being introduced 64049 is a modification of the previous approved plan unit development on Market Road 64050 is uh the rezoning located on Ocean Road and Item Avenue 64051 uh consider an amendment to the downtown redevelopment district 88052 ordinance deeming certain property not now needed for public or municipal purposes and authorizing the sale thereof 165 South Dearborn Street.

Uh hey, what is that?

What are we selling there?

This is a remnant lot of the housing authority of things to see way back.

We got back to that.

Who we're selling it to?

The unoccupied house that surrounds it's an L-shaped lot that's not buildable that surrounds a guy's house.

So he's just gonna acquire it, maintaining it.

Yeah, it's required at a market right.

Yep.

I hope uh well, Jamie.

The reason I asked is because the neighbors were asking what was happening right there.

Uh hopefully nothing.

That's just gonna be his backyard.

Did we send out notice?

Yeah, we did full RFP uh disposal process, everything.

Oh, well, do we send out notice to 250 feet of the neighbors and all that other stuff?

Uh it's not required for not required.

Okay, but that it was on the website advertised uh we put it for sales on it, I think.

Never should know.

Yep.

88053 ordinance donating certain property to the city's affordable housing program and authorize an option to lease thereof eastern portion of 1050 Baltimore Street.

Uh Mr.

Jeremy.

So Baltimore Street South.

Um this is direct center.

It's gonna be completely redundant.

This is the vacant land next to it as a baseball field here.

So our proposal is to move the baseball field back here, the multiple multiple purpose baseball football field.

Uh, and this helps reconfigure 1010 Baltimore by moving some of those units here, get a knockdown pieces there, then the housing three go back later, knock down the rest of it, and we'll do back.

So 10 will be completely redone as new housing instead of what it is.

Knocking down and rebuilding, yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, the timing of this is it's matching up with the Hartel Street property.

Make sure the people that live here have first right to go here with voucher system.

So timing on them actually clearing this obsolete will be after running.

Right.

What's the timeline?

Uh the lease option is so the developer can keep the project feasibly active so they can get it to state bond application.

They need that between now and first after November 1st.

Um, if they get that in bonds are typically worth in the summer, so the next summer and closing within six months of that.

So two years construction average, about uh three years from today.

Did you say the housing authority rebuild?

No, this will be privately owned, privately managed the housing authority be probably part owner, minority not maintaining anything.

Uh they'll have an option to purchase at the end once 75 years runs on the weeds.

So no funds coming from the city.

How much?

Uh 11.3, I believe it's 11.3.

This is coming out of the 53 million, right?

That we that we got.

Right.

Okay.

And the the biggest part of this is the ability for us to be able for the housing authority to be able to come back and clean up the other side of the street.

There's not much room on their site to demo, reconfigure it all, and then not lose units at the same time.

So this helps them navigate their site.

It's not there's not a footprint there.

So when they clean that portion of the land, what's the plan to do with that?

This will be seven units, yeah, seven units here.

Uh there's 95 total, so they're put at least 25 back.

Bonds are typically 40.

Okay.

And we're just vacating that small portion of the right of away indicating on the yeah, that'll be a few medication coming through if the developer needs it.

Uh right now they're still tweaking it.

They might not need it, but it's uh it'd be up to it.

Yeah, all units will be affordable, right?

Size 1200 to 1300 square feet.

Okay, consultant barber here if you want to answer that one.

Uh that's fine.

I just uh it's still in design.

This just layout general.

I I do have one request.

Um, we know that Baltimore Street has been a um bad one uh bad street St.

Mobile, Alabama, and especially um the project unit, which is known as 1010 Baltimore Street.

So my request is that the address make sure it's changed, but we can get out that statement of 1010 Baltimore Street to revitalization and everything, and make sure we have a proper name for that particular uh unit.

Uh, we are revitalized a street uh several years ago, completely rebuilt it.

Uh new house.

We have some new houses on Marine Street now restore mobile looking to build like six more houses on Baltimore Street.

So it's an area that we're looking to revitalize and everything, but um, it's a great project, and uh again, make sure we just get out that stimuli 10 and 10.

We're gonna bear that and put that to rest.

Amen.

Yeah, yeah, Jamie.

One more question.

The uh standard of new development will it be held to the same report that the Hope Six project was with Red Side.

The same developer that the Mary Bell is developing this.

Sorry, same developers, Maryvels developer on this one.

This will be townhouse style though, instead of the three-story, so it'll fit the neighborhood better.

Okay, all right.

Great news.

All right, battle clerk.

Um okay.

So uh consent resolution is being uh introduced.

Uh just a question, Mr.

Carroll.

You know exactly what this is doing.

So you know exactly what this is doing.

Oh, you're talking about friends.

No, no, no, MLK.

Yeah, yeah.

Good morning.

This is the construction inspection contract for the construction contract that you're voting on today.

This is the first read of it.

Oh, so when is actually this project going to start?

Yeah.

So right now, this is the second stage of the review that we have with the restore act folks.

So that's the federal grant that we have for this project.

After you vote and approve this contract today, it will go back to the state for their final approval.

Typically, that's taken about six weeks.

So we're looking to hopefully have a notice to proceed before the end of the year.

So I guess the question is it's not going to affect Mardi Gras, is it?

No, sir.

We're starting at Butcher's Lane.

So no matter what this year, if we started before Mardi Gras, we'll have no effect.

And those will be single lane closures.

So we'll be working on either side of the street.

We have plans in place just like we did for Broad Street.

When we do have, you know, we're moving farther down the street during the parade route to have it restored and open.

We're going to demobilize and remobilize.

So nothing will be affected.

All right.

Thank you.

Uh you asked about when it will start.

Uh it was my understanding two weeks ago.

We're looking somewhere around the Christmas holiday season by the time we actually have a true groundbreaking start.

So that's what you're looking for.

I will say that we are ready to go.

That is one thing that we do ahead of these because we have a lead time with the approvals.

So we've met with our contractor and we are already ready to go, just like we did on St.

Louis Street.

We got our notice to proceed on Monday, and the following Monday, we were in construction.

So we'd be moving quickly.

Approximately how long this project is going to last.

18 months.

18 months the whole MLK.

Correct.

And so after that, then that means we're going to finish South Broad Street handing to airport, correct?

That's absolutely right.

So that project is at 60%, sir.

And we're expecting 90% uh design plans by January.

We're on time with our design.

All right.

Sounds great.

Thank you.

Um, you said the whole, my bad.

Vice President Pan.

No, go ahead.

Mine doesn't relate to you talking about how far the project goes on MLK.

You know where the curve is.

Most people don't know what Butcher's Lane is.

Do you know where MLK turns to Stone Street just before Three Mile Creek?

Well, Butcher's Lane is right there on the right.

Uh used to be an old shack and club back there years ago.

But I think the city may have just put the sign back up for the street so people actually know what Butcher's Lane is.

So when you make that curve just before you'll be on the right road, not the whole time.

It's not the last one.

It's it's the whole MLK as we originally remember it before it turns into Stone Street.

It's directly across from the new trailhead of Three Mile Creek Greenway Trail as well.

So it connects to that project.

Yeah.

We uh as grandmama you said when you cross over the branch right there, yeah, it turns Stone Street.

Yeah, yeah.

But on this side of the branch, it was MLK.

All right, but yeah, Jen, while you're there, um, can we get an update for everybody in the room on Langan dredging and then the rerouting issues that we're having out there at the park?

So we made really good progress last week.

We took about 400 cubic yards out of the upper lakes.

Sorry, I did hit it, didn't I?

Have it.

We took about 400 cubic yards out of the upper lake.

So part of last week was also getting the rest of the equipment and all of our you know, fencing and everything in place.

So they're making really good progress.

So people go out, they're able to see all the activity in the upper lake with the dredge bar moving around and the big long reach excavators.

So really good progress.

We have been working with the community about making sure they stay off Florinoine Drive.

There's gonna be some pictures that go out that Parks and Rack is going to share in the city going to share later, just to reminding people that it is an active construction site and they need to walk on the grass.

Safety is our number one priority, and we want to make sure we keep as much of the park open as possible, but we need people to be safe.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

All right, thank you so much.

I understand why we don't have council meeting, but yeah, you know, exactly.

I was thinking we're saying twice a month.

I see why we have council meeting every week.

Yeah.

This is a long agenda, and I was just looking at this agenda, all the good things that's on here, and I was like, why is Sandy Stimson retiring as mayor?

You know, can you rethink that mayor?

It's too late.

Okay.

And from this council.

Yes, sir, Ms.

President.

Ms.

Ronald.

We're purchasing a lot of equipment on this agenda, and I'm glad to see it.

You know, those are the sort of things we ought to be spending our money on.

Um this is replacement of existing equipment that's beyond its life or at the end of its life.

Is that correct?

Okay.

Um, I'm excited to see it.

Hopefully, with this new equipment, we'll spark some you know, new desire to get out there and be substantially more productive on some things.

Not that we're doing a bad job.

Um, I'm glad to see that we're teeing things up for this next mayor to come in and get back to doing some of the boring stuff that we all enjoy out in district four, cutting grass, cleaning ditches, that sort of thing, uh trimming trees.

So glad to see it on the agenda.

Okay.

Anything else from this council?

Anything from administration?

Um council, we have been asked to uh go into executive session.

Um we have Mr.

Brent Bonner in uh in front of us right now.

Good morning.

Uh request to go to executive session this morning.

Uh it'll be about 15 minutes again.
