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.
  • Administrative Services Director: Director Tim Cummings was unable to participate audibly due to technical difficulties and offered no formal remarks. The committee proceeded without his direct input.

Key Outcomes

  • Contract and Change Order Approvals: The committee approved the following motions unanimously:
    • CN22: Whiting Turner Contracting Company for PD Access Control work.
    • CN23: Whiting Turner Contracting Company for PD Magnetic Locks and hardware.
    • ARI Phoenix: Vehicle Lifts project approved at $54,973.36.
    • Mount Major: PD Security Surveillance project approved at $110,390.45.
    • Dell Technologies: Server upgrade project approved at $26,328.56.
    • GPI: OPM Services amendment approved at $27,442.80.
  • Financial Status: Current spending stands at $1,806,319.59 against a $3,348,809 budgeted through construction amount.
  • Adjournment: The meeting was moved to adjourn by Alderman Dow and carried unanimously. The committee adjourned at 6:26 PM. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for February 4, 2026, at 6:00 PM.
