CIP resolutions being introduced, 091577, reallocate funds from 2025 CIP Project Carlisle Ditch Drainage Repairs to Capital Project Lang Park, 12 Mile Creek Bank Stabilization, 100,000.

Mr.

President, um advice.

Um just to um clarify why we're doing this.

Um the Carlisle Ditch drainage repairs is really a two-budget kind of a program.

Uh one year is for design, the next year is for the contract.

But we had all of the money set aside in this year's budget.

So what we've decided to do is take a portion of the funding, go to Langan Park, and then we'll still do the design this year, and then next year's budget will have the contract in it for uh the actual work.

So instead of having that money sit in the budget and not be used this year, we're gonna move it somewhere where we actually need some work like now.

So just in case anybody was wondering why we're uh moving some money from a drainage repair, that's fine.

Okay.

So this purchase is part of our incentive package for our wellness program that we do for the PT test annually.

Part of that is where they get a shoe voucher to purchase uh exercise shoes so that we can you know we can increase our the ability to have physical fit firefighters um so this is part of just an incentive package that we do for that and it was a requirement for the bids due to the numbers but you might not be able to answer this question but does the police department have a 20 years or so the police department does um a similar thing they actually I believe they do time off instead of uh a voucher for shoes uh the shoes okay so it's a package that we've been working on to uh incentivize just the physical education or the physical fitness of our firefighters and we've been doing this for the past probably two or three years it's just gotten to a point that um procurement wanted to make sure that we met the bid specifications because we go to local vendors here and it gives our employees a chance to get a shoe voucher to purchase uh athletic shoes that they can use for their physical fitness okay all right i appreciate that thank you yes sir uh anything from this council uh yes sir mr i was just uh hoping we can get some sort of update on our assessment of our real estate usage here at government plaza are we in the process of evaluating our use and what's the status of that do we know about when we'll have a decision on all of that um yes we are in the process of evaluating all the space we're using i think joe snowden is undertaking the space analysis and probably vacating some space but uh we haven't made the decision on where to relocate a lot of our different departments that we have here but it's being studied we are looking at other real estate options and so um and the at the same time we're negotiating with the county about a renewal okay and uh over the holidays the reason reason I'm bringing up everybody that out of town guests everybody you know are you gonna pay your rent you know just off the cuff jokes and that sort of thing and um I think you know I'd like to see us bring it to a resolution at some point you know within the next six months at least right yes I believe so I don't think it'll take that much longer it's just what we're doing is we're operating under the previous contract price until we can renegotiate a new contract price we don't doubt that it probably deserves an increase uh the mayor wants to do a square footage assessment for and then as we reduce our footprint it reduces the cost here okay and makes uh some of our departments more accessible to the public thank you want to go for waving the rules on uh waiving the rules we have the one planned unit development that Josh talked about earlier and then under resolutions we've got um zero eight fifteen eighty two eighty three eighty four eighty five eighty six and eighty seven if everybody's okay with those or any others that we need to look at 1589 okay all right anything else from this council anything from the administration okay if not we see each other at 1030 downstairs
