5:46

Uh the administrative service director, Tim Cummings for introductory remarks.

5:52

Do you have a comment?

6:00

Oh, we're still don't have uh we still don't have audio here.

6:06

Can I come up and just check the screen?

6:08

Oh yeah.

6:13

So you were not muted, but we have this, so let's just let me just try that.

6:21

See if that fixed anything.

6:29

It says microphone on the test.

6:41

Yeah, that's good.

6:43

So he has one test two.

6:49

No drop down, no, yeah, it's just not connected.

6:52

Microphone's not touched.

7:07

Should we pump up the volume?

7:09

Pump up the volume.

7:11

So I can unmute on mine, but then you're gonna hear that dreadful echo the whole time in here.

7:18

Unless Tim said he could hear for a quick moment and then it went went back out.

7:28

I wonder if I can mute it just for in this room, but if it mutes it for everyone.

7:33

I don't try it.

7:34

Right now, everybody else is muted.

7:36

Yeah.

7:37

Let me unmute.

7:38

And then if uh you hear the echo, just see if you can mute me.

7:45

I don't know, that just happened.

7:46

No clue.

7:48

Maybe someone joined.

7:49

Tim, can you hear us?

7:51

No, he's gonna unmute it in there.

7:54

And then you're gonna have to mute the one that says automatic change.

7:58

The black box.

8:00

Yeah, right.

8:00

You already muted it here.

8:02

Oh, it is muted.

8:04

Now mute this one.

8:13

I I can now hear that.

8:16

Okay.

8:16

Okay.

8:18

We're trying to work out an echo.

8:20

What?

8:22

That might be the whole role.

8:24

So I was gonna say just put it on.

8:27

Yeah.

8:28

That's it.

8:29

Oh, okay.

8:30

Yeah, but now Tim can't hear us.

8:32

Yeah.

8:33

See, we have to go back to here where we were.

8:36

Hang on, it helps on the way.

8:38

We have it.

8:39

But we had it.

8:41

Temporarily.

8:41

Okay.

8:42

I think we might be mute for the general one.

8:45

Just doing one last thing in the roll.

8:46

Test one, test two.

8:48

Okay.

8:49

Oh, so did you hit that?

8:51

So we muted this.

8:54

Now he doesn't hear us.

8:55

Right.

8:56

But we don't get that code.

8:57

Umly leak over Kevin's desk.

9:01

Yeah.

9:02

Tim said if it's if it's getting too complicated, so we can persevere without getting him fully connected.

9:10

Okay.

9:17

But we will have to have this.

9:18

We kind of figured out for the 7 o'clock, is what he said.

9:21

Uh yeah, we will.

9:23

So Tim, can you hear us?

9:35

Okay.

9:39

Can you remind me how computers are supposed to improve my life?

9:48

Um sorry.

9:52

There's no microphones.

9:54

It's because it's just not seeing the device, so maybe something got unplugged or unattached at some point.

9:59

Or not turned on.

10:00

Um I'm not sure how they set up audio in this room.

10:03

So maybe through this.

10:05

I'm just poking around real quick.

10:10

Right.

10:11

Right.

10:12

I can give Jeff a call because he's set this up.

10:15

Um if we're going to just persevere, and then I'll try to in between the two.

10:18

Troubleshoot it more properly.

10:20

Okay.

10:21

So let me just mute on my end and you get to push forward.

10:25

All right.

10:28

All right, we're gonna press severe.

10:31

Unfortunately, without uh administrative service director, Tim Cummings.

10:37

He is on Zoom.

10:39

And I'm sure he'll text us or something like that if we go too far off the uh the ranch.

10:48

Okay, moving on.

10:49

I'll call for public comment.

10:53

See nobody that has anything from the public.

10:56

Move to approval of minutes.

10:59

Alderman Sullivan.

11:01

I'd like to make a motion to approve the minutes of the November 5th, 2025 meeting.

11:08

Okay, any discussion on the motion?

11:11

Seeing none, call for the vote.

11:13

All those in favor signify by saying aye.

11:16

Aye.

11:17

Motion uh against motion carries.

11:20

General progress update.

11:22

Uh at this time, uh unfortunately we don't have administrative service, Mr.

11:28

Cummings, but uh can we forego this?

11:31

Because I think you've got to give us an update on your slides, correct?

11:35

That's correct.

11:36

So we do have a uh slide presentation.

11:40

Okay.

11:41

Hey Jeff, I heard you.

11:43

Oh, oh glad we got you, Mr.

11:46

Cummings.

11:54

Thank you.

12:01

Okay, good evening, Mr.

12:02

Chairman, and just uh give the uh update for the Nine Riverside project for this month.

12:10

Um right now, under active construction, we actually uh did the uh final walkthrough yesterday morning.

12:20

So we are 100% done with the interior work.

12:23

Uh one of the last remaining items was the insulated metal panels of the garage and the security uh surveillance system of just nine riverside.

12:33

And there are a couple uh outstanding items identified yesterday, one of them being turning on the garage doors and um uh a couple repairs to the EV chargers that are being installed on the uh north face of the building.

12:48

And a punch list has been established by the architect at LBA, so we when we have that turned into us uh earlier today, so we are we are uh in in great shape and looking to still complete the project on time by uh December 16.

13:04

Um items that have been discussed here is the the PD main roof, and we are still evaluating some design scope options and seeking some input from um contractors on on final scope to to get some uh construction costs established.

13:25

The parking lot design project, the uh survey work has has commenced and that to date's been limited to deed research for the layout of um James Rose and Panther Drive and Riverside.

13:36

They haven't been able to do too much field work because of the recent snow, but we'll hopefully get a little bit of a melt off and and continue with that.

13:48

Uh contract items that are uh before you this evening is uh wedding turner's November pay requisition, and that is at $345,538 and one cent.

14:04

There are two CNs uh before you.

14:07

Uh one of them is CN22, and that's um that's been uh mentioned before uh to the joint committee, but that's for uh access control work on the PD main building that was incorporated into this contract.

14:20

And um another CN23, and that is for um magnetic locks and some of the hardware as we got into some of those uh walk components were past their service life and weren't working with the card reader system.

14:35

So we found that to be an advantageous time to make those repairs.

14:40

There are some other contract actions coming up, another one being is uh GPI's OPM services, so that's myself, and that's for uh contract closeout services and um continuing on through the parking lot design phase.

15:00

So that's before the joint committee this evening.

15:04

A few other contract actions are um that's been mentioned to the joint committee before as well that we have some um PD uh maintenance projects that were were scoped with nine riverside.

15:18

We we pulled them out for the Whiting Turner contract to not build too much high-risk stuff in that contract.

15:25

Now that we're at the end with Whiting Turner, there are some of those construction funds available, so we have with ARI Phoenix, uh the vehicle lifts, that's uh for the new garage, and that those are lifts specific to uh be able to perform maintenance on those two larger uh the mobile command unit and bomb squad truck.

15:48

Um the security um system, the sorry, the camera security system on the PD building.

15:56

Um right now we just did nine riverside, but now we want to finish the PD building.

16:01

Uh currently the cameras there uh have a significant amount of blind spots, and they are well past their service life, so we're we're trying to eliminate the blind spots, get the cameras up where they should be.

16:16

And a big part of that is the cameras in the the cell blocks, which right now those cameras they're not uh set at a good angle, and a lot of times uh the residents of those cell blocks can actually throw their clothing and shirts over them and block the surveillance of of that system.

16:37

So that that's in need.

16:40

And another PD uh Dell server, and we had approved two of those last month.

16:49

Um it is uh come to our attention at the PD that there is a a third needed.

16:55

There are a total of four in the PD building.

16:58

Uh but this third one is is become particularly important because it comes with license fees and they are licenses that the PD does not need.

17:08

So if the existing third server is also passed its service life and will come with a mandatory $24,000 license fee in uh the spring of 26.

17:21

So this is a uh effective time to get this third server replaced.

17:25

It will be replaced at a lower cost because we're buying the other two, and it will eliminate some some significant future cost for licenses that the PD no longer needs, but would be forced to buy if we keep the old server.

17:43

So with those uh items before you, I I want to just do my normal monthly update of the overall project cost.

17:52

So our uh GMP with Whiting Turner is remain has remained the same, the 2.351 million with about 81 percent uh spent per date, and we uh now are very confident in completing this on budget.

18:17

Um my analysis of the entire project with the uh 3.5 million authorized uh right now I'm budgeted through construction at 3.3 million.

18:32

That number is uh with some of these additions has gone up about uh $18,000.

18:37

So as I said, many of these items we're bringing for you had been budgeted uh for the most part.

18:42

We're just I just made uh uh adjustment to that number that is more accurate now with these new items.

18:50

And um about 2.9 of that, 2.9 million of that has been currently issued in POs to our our contractors or service providers.

19:01

And currently uh the city has paid 1.8 million to um contractors uh through uh November 30th.

19:15

Um current project status.

19:17

So as you can see, the garage is now looking very complete with uh with the exception of uh the interior lights and the garage doors uh operating.

19:28

Um this looks a little small, but uh as you can see the week of December 8th through 12th, this current week is our our architectural punch list and walkthrough, and we still have that December 16th completion date, and um the wedding turner completion items, that's referring to project closeout.

19:53

So that's not necessarily referring to work on the facility.

19:56

So we're right where we should be with the project.

20:02

So that is uh project update for for this month.

20:10

Okay.

20:11

Any questions of Mr.

20:12

Lamaire?

20:13

Alderman Sullivan.

20:15

Thank you.

20:16

Uh so last night we passed the uh additional funding of $900,000 for the roof.

20:22

Does that and and for those at home the the roof on the uh main police department?

20:28

Is that gonna roll into this project or is that a completely different project?

20:34

Um I'd have to refer that to Director Cummings.

20:37

Okay my understanding is as at the moment it's a separate project.

20:42

Okay, but Director Cummings would would know the correct answer to that.

20:47

I guess Mr.

Cummings has nothing to say.

25:00

If if I if I may for uh miscellaneous as we get into January and February and look to close out Whiting Turner's contract, one thing to keep in mind as well is the PD likely have again probably two to four more of the smaller nine riverside scoped items that were not put in nine riverside.

25:15

It's already budgeted in our budgeted through construction, but they've not they've not been brought before the joint committee yet.

Summary of Proceedings

Joint Committee Infrastructure & Police Commissioners Meeting - Dec 10, 2025

The Joint Committee of Infrastructure and Police Commissioners convened on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at 6:03 PM via the Automatic Chamber. Despite significant initial audio difficulties and the absence of Administrative Services Director Tim Cummings, the committee proceeded with the roll call, minute approvals, and a series of project updates and contract approvals regarding the "Nine Riverside" police facility and related PD infrastructure projects.

Consent Calendar

  • Minutes Approval: Alderman Sullivan moved to approve the minutes of the November 5, 2025 meeting; the motion carried unanimously (Aye: All).
  • Invoice Approvals:
    • Approved Whiting Turner Contracting Company invoice for $345,538.01 (November 30, 2025); motion carried.
    • Approved Greenman Peterson Incorporated (GPI) invoice for $4,732.64 (November 24, 2025); motion carried.
    • Approved Lavalley Bressinger Architects (LBA) invoice for $9,373.20 (November 13, 2025); motion carried.

Discussion Items

  • Nine Riverside Project Update: Director Lemaire provided a progress report indicating the project is 100% complete regarding interior work. Final outstanding items include insulated metal panels for the garage, the security surveillance system, and adjustments to the garage doors and EV chargers. The committee was informed of an architectural punch list established by the architect. The project remains on track for a December 16, 2025 completion date. The General Maximum Price (GMP) is $2.351 million, with 81% spent. The total authorized budget is $3.5 million, with current construction budgeting at $3.3 million (recently adjusted up by $18,000 due to additions).
  • Police Department Main Roof: Alderman Sullivan asked if the recently approved $900,000 additional funding for the PD main roof would roll into this project. Alderman Dow clarified that the roof project is a separate initiative, though it involves the same contractor.
  • Parking Lot Design: Survey work has commenced, initially limited to deed research for James Rose, Panther Drive, and Riverside due to snow conditions preventing field work.
  • PD Infrastructure Projects:
    • Vehicle Lifts: A contract with ARI Phoenix is proposed for vehicle lifts specific to the mobile command unit and bomb squad truck, funded by remaining construction funds from the Nine Riverside project.
    • Security Surveillance: A proposal to replace cameras on the PD building, specifically to eliminate blind spots and address cell block cameras that residents can obscure.
    • Server Upgrade: A proposal to replace a third Dell server at the PD. The Director explained that retaining the current server would trigger an unwanted mandatory $24,000 license fee in Spring 2026; replacement is now prioritized to avoid this cost.
