At the Cedar Key Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) regularly scheduled meeting, Tuesday, June 5, 2012, at 6PM, city commissioners discussed: the condition of the city`s storm water pipes, catch basins, and trench drains; the two bids from W.W. Engineering and Florida Pipe Tech; and possible future storm water system actions. Scott Dennison`s motion that no more than $14,000 be spent for a complete video surveillance package of the system`s entire 10,000 linear feet passed with two dissenting votes from Commissioners Feigan and Colson. Funds, in the amount of approximately $83,000, are currently in the CRA budget and designated for projects such as this, storm water pipes and water quality maintenance. W.W. Engineering submitted a $58,000 bid; Florida Pipe Tech submitted $33,000 bid for light cleaning and a $54,000 bid for heavy cleaning. Hodges advised spending little money and holding a larger balance for the future. Commissioner Colson and former Mayor Heath Davis, after explaining the history and operations of the city`s water management and maintenance for past years, advised full funding and completion of the project. Nomination for a CRA chair and vice chair was necessary after the recent city commission election. Dale Register was unanimously elected chair; Hodges and Colson were nominated for vice chair; Sue Colson was elected. Minutes from April 3 2012, were minimally amended and approved; minutes from May 1, 2012, were approved. |
