Motion to pass agenda item number one Mr. Butler approval balance change order to the construction contract with Southeastern SEO code. Yes, sir. Good afternoon. So this is a uh neighborhood drainage project. It's an additive change order for $9,945 and some change. Uh brings the contract amount to 205,541 dollars and uh project location on the screen. Uh some pictures of the work in progress. Uh had to add a bit more concrete work to this job just to tie in all the features correctly. Uh and like I said, neighborhood drainage project, and this was right on the cost between districts seven and six. All right, any questions for Bill? Second, got a motion and second, all in favor. Ah, motion passes. Bill number two. Uh again, another uh neighborhood drainage project this time timber lane drainage showing location here on the screen. Uh this is a deductive change for 1,974 dollars. Uh this was replacement of a corrugated metal pipe that was failing with reinforced concrete pipe and uh neighborhood drainage fund project as well. This is Dick District 7. I'll make a motion. Got a motion and second, all in favor? Ah, aye, motion passes. Bill number three. This is a right-of-way use permit. This is for new core steel. Uh this is they are looking to bore under Holt Road Northeast, which was which is city right away. Uh they want to bring fiber optic connection between their plant facility and their technical academy on either sides of that road. So the board pits will be on private property, the boring underneath the road will be a city right away, uh, deep enough to not cause any problems. Uh and that's all I got. Pretty simple. Any questions for me? Bill. Motion. Second. Got a motion and second. All in favor. Motion passed. Thanks, Bill. Lane number four, approval of minor public works contract with Alabama Pro Stripe. Sir, if okay with you, I'll stay at the order of safety transition time. So this is mine for the works contract. Uh again, project location. This is for the next phase of our crosswalk striping. This is to put continental crosswalks in these downtown intersections. So general orientation there. Uh, example of crosswalk of continental striping on the right, so that's what we're going towards. And uh this is bounded by 8th Street to the north, Bryant Drive to the South, Queen City Avenue, Greensboro app. That's the area, and about 14 intersections will join with there. Bill, how many of these? Do you know how many more of these intersections that we have of these? If not, I I can get that.
