Mayor Dodd stated the City has allocated $4.6M from the FY2019 budget cycle to pay
for this and $3.5M will be coming in FY2023/2024 from the discretionary sales tax
reserves. The discretionary sales tax reserve has approximately $810 right now. He
wanted the public to understand that the project did increase from $6M to $9.1M to
procure a complete building.
Vice Mayor Hill said he has been a strong proponent of moving the compound to the
airport for decades as it will allow them to move forward with the citizens' CRA vision for
the triangle property and ignite an economic engine on the west side of the airport.

design build agreement with Wright Construction Group, Inc. for the City Garage and

Chairman Dodd asked if they do an RFP without restrictions and they receive five
responses, could they turn down all responses. The City Manager advised that the City
puts a clause in all bid documents that they reserve the right to reject all bids.
Chairman Dodd said one of conditions should be that the design concept will be
consistent with the Charrette vision. Vice Chairman Hill said he had no problem with
that criteria.
Motion by Vice Chairman Hill and SECOND by Mr. McPartlan in favor of the City putting
out an RFP to Include the Charrette design criteria.
Chairman Dodd suggested another criteria that they lend some weight to include the
adjoining property. The City Manager advised they could look at all of the proposals,
and collectively, if they like a proposal that includes both properties, they could go with
that one.
Mr. Nunn said the beauty of the discussion is that it will be done with all five members.
There was no public input.
The MOTION passed with a unanimous voice vote of 5-0.
