013back to us Mr Trombley what do you have to add sir William Trombley one6 putty gut in Casco uh I don't know the menu yet um it's the same truck we had last year um the food was good and uh the response was good you know there wasn't like oh don't ever bring this guy back again you know so uh we decided to bring him back and uh we would like your permission to have him back at the auditorium for the uh professional wrestling event and it's going to be a banger very good uh is there a motion I'll make a motion to approve the special event request for mobile food vendors from William trbl saving Destiny animal rescue to have a mobile food vendor Oscar and Wally's on site for the professional wrestling event
014to benefit the saving Destiny animal rescue on Saturday April 12th 2025 from 600 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. with the hours of operation for the food truck being 6:00 p.m. until 10 him support what made and support is there any questions now this is outside will you know you know we had a wedding out of town last year we couldn't make it yes sir how do they access the outside food from the auditorium um last year they went through the side door and that entrance you know where you're coming from the back and it has the sidewalk but I think it John me mentioned it's the property that the city we're going to work out uh with the change in property ownership exactly where it'll be but last year saving Destiny had a lot of things
015going on out in front of the odd so people were actually coming out the front door and just going around the side and and getting the food was front door yep yep so because there was so much like they had kind of some of the kittens and puppies that were okay up for Rescue out front that people you know kind of to raise more awareness and so there was kind of people coming and going and stepping outside and so everyone kind of just went out the front door to it so is there an adoption time then um night or no not so much an adoption time but more of a meet and greet and then fill out an application so so forth okay yes sir okay right any other comments questions anything from the audience
016back to the table all in favor of the motion signify by saying I I against motion does pass good luck will thank you all very much you bet item number four is consideration introduction first R of text Amendment uh to section 9.04 of the Richmond zoning ordinance Mr city manager council is schedule to consider introduction and first reading of ordinance 15634 which amends section 9.04 residential parking standards of the Richmond zoning ordinance to revise the standards regarding the location and duration of recreational vehicles uh when they may be parked within the front yard setb uh and uh also uh when not that they should never block sidewalk um the uh council at their January Roundtable went through this ordinance change uh at the February 13th Planning Commission meeting a public hearing was held uh as
017I mentioned uh our ordinance didn't really clearly Define uh the uh 48 hours before and after a trip that you can have your travel trailer in your driveway in front of the front edge of your house um for loading and unloading uh and then also for boats we're allowing 24 hours but no more than 48 within a given 7-Day period uh but it also more clearly defines that even while doing that you should never be blocking the sidewalk that that trumps whether or not you can have your trailer in your front uh in the in front of your house so uh again uh this was uh part of the recommendations from the uh code enforcement committee that uh mayor Pro raish and councelor Schultz sat on with the chief of police and uh Administration thank
018you is there a motion I'll make a motion to introduc and give first reading of ordin ordinance 56-34 which amends section 9.04 residential parking standards of the Richmond zoning ordinance to revise standards regarding the location duration that recreation vehicles may be parked within the front yard area and street right away support most been made and supported is there discussion on this item been quite a quite a bit of discussion as city manager stated at our Round Table workshop on this item and um I I think basically all we're doing is clarifying what was already existing and uh maybe we weren't enforcing it quite the way it could have been but I believe we started to enforce that a little bit more give people some time to make the change but um yeah and this allows
019those letters that go out to them to have very clear and concise language on on the ordinance um and so again once uh we do the introduction first reading the second reading adoption will come back at your next meeting uh we also have a couple other changes uh that we discussed in that quarterly that we're working on the ordinance language now good great anything else Council comments Mr Mayor I would just say that uh I was on the committee with councelor Schultz and there was a lot of good discussion and this was one of the areas the with differentiating between boats and and RVs um that really helped out we were talking with with Becky and Nicole um that does a lot of the um follow through on those they were getting a lot of
020complaints about boats and people just using that ordinance kind of playing the system in a way so you know go if they're going out on the weekend then they would have it Monday and Tuesday and then you know so it really be one day but they would have to move it and then come back you know Thursday Friday so this way 24 hours seem like an appropriate time for getting things in and out of a boat and uh hopefully get some of those complaints down good so I appreciate the work that the administration did to pull this together and uh for a lot of the valuable information that we got from Becky and the call was was very helpful in doing this thank you I think it's a good a good change very good and
021we appreciate you guys sitting on that committee with the administration to clarify this U ordinance anything else any audience comments on this item back to the table all in favor of the motion signify by saying I I against motion does pass item number five is consideration of contract award Main Street water main replacement Mr city manager Council schedule to consider awarding the bid for the replacement of the water main on Main Street from Division Road to the CN railroad tracks the 2425 budget included funding for the project uh part of that funding was uh a $943,000 EPA grant that was secured through uh representative Lisa mcan's office um and Jim is here to answer any questions you have on the bids Jim would you like to add to that uh just to clarify that the
022project is it's from Division Road to the CM railroad tracks that main is from prior to 1916 and it's an it's an 8in main currently and we're proposing to install a 12in uh hdp which is high density polyethylene that's the material we installed on Stone Street recently and uh Council recently approved the same material for Oak and preep street that project uh and that will be directional drilled as well very good thank you is there a motion before any discussion I'll make a motion to authorize the expense of $897,000 the major Street and water funds support motion made and support any discussion we've addressed this also uh many times already it's nice to see this uh coming in the bids uh taken care of uh like to take a moment and thank our uh representative
023Lisa mlan um United States Representative our congresswoman for coming up with the money and I'd like to give a lot of credit to our city manager especially to Jim because Jim you had uh if I remember the phone call we got it was like on Thursday and we had to have it in by Friday or it was Friday and you had to have it in by Monday you had already done a lot of the numbers on this an anticipation of someday somebody coming up with a kind of money it's going to take to do this so you know hats off to you for getting that done I remember the phone call from Brown and yeah I think it was a Thursday and it wase Friday it was due Friday so thank you Don Brown for
024also making that phone call to us absolutely um and then uh it just it worked out great and uh you know certainly appreciate this it saved uh saved the taxpayers and the City of Richmond a lot of money the other thing we want to clarify because this went around on social media uh sometimes back when the word got out about this well how dare you go in and tear Main Street up this is going to be bored we're not tearing Main Street up so let's make that clear so it doesn't go around again with people who don't know what they're talking about putting on social media that we're going to destroy the sidewalks and everything else yes there may be where it has to come up or whatever there may be a little excavation but
025the majority of this is going to be underground boring so correct am I correct that is correct yeah so um it's great it's it's going to be great that uh uh we're going to replace that 1916 line in there were you going to uh auction that at the DPW as an antique or anything well most of it will stay in the ground going stay in the ground okay any other discussion on this item yeah I just have a maybe a question on the boring because people have been asking so is it just one entry point that goes through or do you have to check it along the way how does that actually work uh there's certain length that they can you know feasibly construct at a time you know you know hundreds of feet couple
026hundred feet so say 500 ft they will take a hole at one end and they'll pull the pipe through as far as disturbance along the way they do have to excavate for water service connections and for hydrant installations stuff like that there most of the the uh excavation for the water main itself will be in intersections where you have to make connections side streets stuff like that and and of course again the the water services will be bored under Main Street as well for the the opposite side businesses or or residents there and so there will be small excavations those are open for a day they dig it up make the connection and then back fill that day and so then it's very minimal and the road itself in Main Street we only anticipate being
027in Main Street at the very limits of the project at Division and at the tracks to connect to the existing main that is currently under the roadway so so so every piece of property is not disrupted it's just well they will have a water service so there will be a small excavation at each property yeah B basically to get down to the shut offs is that correct correct yeah okay just to make that new connection down there yeah anything else Council audience comments back to the table all in favor of the motion signify by saying I I against motion does pass yes item number six consideration of wastewater treatment clarifier wears material purchase only Mr city manager council is scheduled to approve the purchase of fiberglass reinforced plastic wears for the uh two clarifiers at
028the waste water treatment plant the final clarifiers at the plant are the final uh process for treatment uh where the liquid sludge and the water are separated um we originally had um funds in the 2425 budget included to do some work at the plant in advance of the screw press project um for the next round of federal funding that we received however due to the age and condition of the we Administration has recommend utilizing These funds to replace the we this year and we'll do the work for the screw press in the following year so again as the mayor mentioned this is just for the purchase of the of the we themselves thank you uh Jim anything to add to this uh no nothing thank you okay is there a motion I'll make a motion
029to authorize the expense of $ 56,86282 won't rust out like these other ones did but yeah they got a is their life expectancy the same as the the metal ones of for our Engineers yes I mean this is really the way that uh this type of process is going as far as material because it is resistant to uh it's in it's in the water it has that air water interface all the time so there's a lot of corrosion with steel this is immune to that and it's it is also UV inhibited I I did ask you know it's outside all the time and there's no concern of degradation due to to UV either so this is kind of the I'll say the future very good okay anything else Council if uh any comments from the
030audience back to the table all in favor of the motion signify by saying I I against motion does pass item number seven consideration of wastewater treatment plant raw sewage pumps engineering contract Mr city manager Council scheduled to consider approving a proposal for Engineering Services for the upcoming sewer projects at the waste treatment plant the 2425 budget does include funding for the replacement of the raw uh sewage pumps at the at the plant um tetr has provided us with a proposal for engineering uh as engineering is a professional Service uh we're not required to bid that that project out and tetr has uh considerable knowledge of our plant uh and uh we're recommending uh approval of the proposal thank you Jim anything to add to this uh no thank you uh Council uh ready for a
031motion I'll make a motion to authorize the expense of$ 37,500 for design engineering services on the raw sewage pump replacement project by tetratech with expenses charged to the appropriate line item in the wastewater treatment plant equipment replacement fund support motion been made in supported discussion yeah just this is just part of the the process year after year of just keeping the plant updated and trying to stay ahead of problems so we're not trying to fix it all in one year and Jim is doing a great job keeping that we're not spending a ton of money over a one or two year period over now we can spread it out over years and years so yeah so I didn't quite understand what are they also installing these pumps so uh aind install you know a submersible
032pump I didn't know if that meant they're they're putting the pumps so this is strictly engineering that's correct so my question before you go to part jum my question is going to be why do we have to re-engineer replacing pumps sure and that's a a great question the existing pumps are a different design they're called screw pumps and they the benefit of the screw pump they run 247 the same speed as the water level increase say flow increases into the plant the pumps naturally increase their output because of it's their elevation change it's it's maybe complicated but uh the new pumps are submersible pump they're significantly cheaper meaning we could replace them seven times before we would pay for one screw pump and so that we believe in the long term is the cost effective
033way to do that but as part of that change these these pumps uh they will still run 24/7 but they will uh have to they will adjust their output based on the in influent and so we need to install we need electrical design to get power to a new control panel and how the the programming goes so that it it it'll tell a pump to come on or it'll tell a second pump to come on if needed and how to adjust the the rate and so that is energy efficient so and these pumps are have a smaller motor than the existing screw pumps so we expect to see an energy savings while they're running and part of that is also because it it can fluctuate so on low flow times it's not running at the
034same you know it's not running at 100% it'll it'll ramp down for that so there uh a significant portion of this engineering cost is for programming there's the skada system that they monitor from the office they they want to tie this in so that there's alarms where there need to be alarms and we get call in if there happens to be an issue but and the pumps need to rotate properly so again one pump was installed uh somewhat it was an emergency about 2 years ago that was just piped in so it's ready to turn on uh manually if needed or it it's there's there's floats you know or come on or go off but that that's really it so once we install the remaining two pump once we replace place the remaining two pumps
035we need to be uh ready to you know in we there's no screw pump that's just going to run 24/7 and handle it we need to have this and ready to go and and obviously to get proper permitting we need to have this engineering done so that egole can approve this change as well so all right I apologize for being long-winded there but it is more complicated than you know than I originally anticipated as well but it's a very important part of the this treatment process good very good any other comments questions audience participation at all back to the table all in favor of the Motions signified by saying I I I against motion does pass item number eight is consideration of establishing the budget Workshop meeting dates Mr City manard it is that time
036of year again so uh council's being requested to consider scheduling approximately three uh budget workshops uh meeting dates during the months of April and May uh if we go uh with what council has done in the past uh we would recommend the second meeting in April and the two meetings in May I believe that's April 21st May 5th and May 19th thank you uh would Council like to drop the rules for uh a discussion prior to yes we have a consensus okay um I have a question uh Easter is on the 20th and the proposal is for the 21st council meeting um I want to make sure you know as we always do we try to make sure that we accommodate everybody's schedule will everybody be home there is no school that day either so
037I'm thinking extended vacations for some of us that have yeah uh I will not be here you won't be here on that whole week yeah okay so that's what I was concerned with but that I mean if it works for everybody else that's fine too well cuz we we get the information we can provide input okay let's let's see what we're uh going to do here um so again um I would go to the 28th which would that that would accommodate you would that accommodate everybody if we went to 28 instead of the regular meeting in uh on the 21st yes yes yes we work John that works for you I believe so yes okay it's the fourth Monday so Monday yeah uh it'll work for me okay I'll have to and I believe spring
038break is early for everyone else so spr break is in March yeah so I that that shouldn't be a problem okay okay if it is I'll bring it back but I I we can treasure yeah we've got plenty of I I think I think it'll be fine okay okay are we good is there a motion I'll make a motion to schedule the following budget Workshop meeting dates to review and modify the city manager's proposed fiscal year 2025 26 City budget as necessary April 28th May 5th and May 19th beginning at 5:30 p.m. most been made and support you any discussion on this glad it all worked out for everybody hate to take everybody away another night but I think it's important that uh especially that first meeting I think it's important that uh we if
039we can all be there then it works out good so any other comments questions audience comments questions back to the table all in favor of the motion signified by saying I I against motion does pass we move on to miss Lance Matters from the city manager sir uh this week in town uh mome County Public Works office uh is in working on the uh drain line that runs on the west side of the railroad tracks uh a couple years ago they improved the uh drain uh here by next door to City Hall uh this one is running from uh the railroad tracks on the west side from Division Road down to priesta uh we'll link into this and they've actually today we're out doing some additional work on ours you know here next to City
040Hall but uh this will help uh with some of the flooding issues we've had at Oak prea when we have those really heavy uh severe rain events so uh glad that it was approved uh by the city council uh I think last summer or last fall uh that we're partnering with with them uh I'd also like to thank uh and congratulate uh commercial house and Stark referee they had their bibs and Brews event this weekend uh well attended and the tril Cookoff raised $950 for the uh fire department oh very good and then uh we did receive a encouraging call uh today from MDOT I don't have a lot of details um but it appears that MDOT did funding in for a roundabout uh at Mountainville Lane and gret uh that area where County Line
041comes in and we have all those uh streets coming together um they had submitted for the funding and it didn't appear that it would be uh successful but they called to let us know that it would be we're meeting uh in the next couple weeks to kind of get a little more information that is you know it's like when you called me told me this afternoon I said f huh cuz they made it clear to us there's no way it's a it's a mul I think multi-million dollar project to put a roundabout in to solve some of the craziness uh traffic that we have down in there and uh John got a call from uh the gentleman from the state and saying it's done basically I mean it's there's still Hoops to jump through yeah
042and they've uh scheduled the funding for like spring of 26 for to start the design so we're still little ways away but we've never been this close before to solving that issue down there so and you guys all saw that uh we thought they were going to do 32 from the railroad tracks to to St Clair County we thought we were had a meeting the three of us had a meeting uh a few months ago with roads that is not going to get done in this fiscal year it's going to it sounds like it's gone to 26 the good thing about it is it looks like Dell Lanes will be put into the existing businesses and then after that any business that goes in there has to put Dell Lanes in from what we understand
043now yep um like weeks is when they expanded they had to put that Dell Lane in there's a grant that we use for 33 Mile Road when we just read yeah small Urban funds from MD and we're we're going to be able to get on to that again and uh save a lot of money but create a much safer stretch through that area right there meanwhile there need to do some major pairs in there so hopefully we can get that you know hopefully we can get that done uh but yeah this this is uh this is fantastic the only thing that John and I discussed uh what he got the the alarming uh good news was that council's been talking about what we're going to do down there at the muttonville Crossing and I think
044that's still something that we need to talk about um cuz it's a couple years you know away before that this would ever happen so we still need to uh talk more about that down the road anything else Mr seag no okay Jim you have anything to tell us nope no you're good I am thank you very much you haven't seen that uh that brand new piece of equipment that you got it'll be out next week next week outstanding outstanding you think you think it's going to be nice and warm and I think everything is going to be unfrozen and able to run the new uh street sweeper that's the home that's great that's great okay we go to council comments uh just want to um welcome Nick to here to the table and look forward
045to working with him y Dennis Jim just like to thank Rob Tren for his three years of service as fire chief it's a very stressful job nobody really thinks so but deep down it it gets some wish rob a lot of luck uh in his tenure of uh being Fire Chief and also welcome Nick to uh the board here very good Emily I concur with everything and I'd also like to add that um congratulations to um rhs the mock trial they won first place in the Regionals so I guess they're going to States and also um Richmond competitive competitive cheer um went to States and took third place for their division very good very good Jack all set Nick how how did your first council meeting go Nick PR smooth pretty smooth yeah yeah yeah
046yeah it was it was a lot on the agenda tonight but uh um yeah usually this is about the way it goes quite often a lot of our stuff is is hashed over at our Workshop meetings so when it finally gets to the city councils after the administration's done all the work that they needed to do to to get it to us so um you know sometimes people think that we don't talk a lot about this we rubber stamp this stuff no we usually are somewhat grueling to uh the administ make sure they cross all their teased out their eyes before it ever becomes uh in front of the city council for formal action so uh you'll find that outcome uh what was the date the last uh last Monday the fourth Friday and Monday
047it all starts then that's when we get pretty intense into the budget and talk about everything that we we feel the the community needs to take another hard look at so um it's coming buddy it's coming we appreciate you being here and uh again I don't want to be redundant but uh you you have uh done a lot in in your lifetime already and you belong here you definitely belong here um you've got the experience that uh we need to to have and you still have the youth um that we need to have for the future and uh you've done an outstanding job uh in everything that you've participated in over the the years and uh we're so happy that uh you decided uh to give up some of your personal time to be here
048also along with your tiffa and your volunteer fire department and whatever else that uh you may uh be involved in in the future so again thank you very much for being here tonight and uh uh hopefully uh we have an election coming up in November and hopefully uh you'll like it enough that uh you'll uh run uh for the seat uh come November so with that if there's oh we have to do a little intro here for Lois Wagner Memorial Library uh the evening puzzle competition will be Friday March 14th at uh it's a 6 o'clock checkin that's over at the library this Friday the 14th at 6:00 uh there's a ton of things going on at the uh Auditorium um I'm not going to take time I don't know if the cameras can pick
