B. LAW DIRECTOR. Mr. Mapes stated there is an ordinance on the agenda tonight that will rescind the authority to contract with PAE and Associates and Wagner Smith on the wastewater treatment plant expansion. Mr. Mapes stated this is the result of some new engineering that will hopefully save the City money and the project will be re-bid.

Mr. Parker stated it was his understanding this position was deleted and that was not something that could be done without Council action. Mr. Wiseman stated the position was not deleted, it was determined that we did not have the need to have a full time employee in that position. Mr. Mapes stated an executive session will be held this evening and questions regarding this issue should probably be addressed at that time.

Mr. Sabatino moved to adopt; Mr. Wright seconded the motion. Mr. Sabatino stated the Safety Committee felt it was no longer necessary to have a council member attend these meetings as both report to the Safety Committee. He stated the Tree Commission will have one additional citizen volunteer appointed and the Parks and Recreation Board will remain with five voting members.

E. ORDINANCE 2004-10, “AN ORDINANCE TO RESCIND ORDINANCE 2003-95 AND THE AWARD OF CONTRACTS TO PAE & ASSOCIATES AND WAGNER SMITH ON THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION PROJECT, TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO RE-BID THE PROJEC,T AND THE DECLARATION OF IMMEDIATE NECESSITY AND EMERGENCY IN ORDER TO TIMLEY IMPLEMENT NEW ENGINEERING FEATURES WITH PROJECTED SAVINGS AND TO KEEP THE PROJECT EXPEDITIOUSLY MOVING FORWARD,” First Reading, Hackworth. Mr. Hackworth moved to adopt; Mrs. Riggs seconded the motion. Mr. Hackworth stated this was the result of the re-engineering on the wastewater plant expansion that provides a substantial savings on the project. Mr. Hackworth stated the project will need to be re-bid as the current bids have expired and he would be asking for three readings this evening. Mr. Parker stated it was his understanding that value engineering was done from the start of the project and Mr. Wiseman stated with this process an outside firm came in and over a three to four day period reviewed the plans to see where costs could be saved. Mr. Parker stated his concern was the savings would be short term cuts that would cost more money down the road. Mr. Wiseman stated there were items that were being delayed for now, however, there were some changes such as in the blower system, that will result in substantial savings. Mr. Parker stated he would ask the Finance Director to keep tabs on the project to see if cost more money in the long term. He stated if it saved money initially, but resulted in more costs down the road, it was not a real savings. Mr. Wright stated he had a problem in voting on something that did not have a better definition of what the savings were. He stated he would vote on the first reading, but would not support a suspension of rules and additional readings. Mr. Wright stated he understood the blowers Mr. Wiseman had referred to were less expensive, but were significantly noisier and he did not know how that would affect the neighbors. Mr. Wright stated he also understood some landscaping was removed, there would not be a new sludge building, and there were some deferments with ultraviolet inspections and taking care of the sludge going through the plant which were EPA requirements. Mr. Wright stated he would question if these were truly savings or if they were merely deferments. Mayor Shaver stated it is estimated with re-bidding this project the City will save $1 to $2 million dollars. Mr. Wright stated his concern was that the best decision was made for the residents. Mayor Shaver stated that was the goal of everyone. Mr. Wiseman stated the blower issue is probably the biggest cost savings, and the blowers being proposed are designed to be quiet. He stated the concrete structure to house the filters will be constructed, however, the filters will not be put in until necessary. He stated further two clarifiers are being built, however, the operating material will not be put in one until that is needed. Mr. Wiseman stated a representative from the EPA was involved in the value engineering process to ensure that all EPA guidelines and pollutant discharge requirements were met. Mr. Wiseman stated there would be additional expenses now because of increased construction costs and that is why he cannot give a dollar figure on what the actual savings will be, however, they will be substantial. Mr. Sabatino clarified it was Mr. Wiseman’s opinion that the savings from re-bidding would substantially outweigh any additional costs. Roll call was taken with Mr. Parker, Mrs. Riggs, Mr. Wisniewski, Mr. Sabatino, Mr. Hackworth, and Mr. Wright voting “Yea.” Motion passed, 6-0. Mr. Hackworth moved to suspend the rules for the purpose of three readings; Mr. Parker seconded the motion. Roll call was taken with Mr. Wright voting “Nay,” and Mr. Wisniewski, Mr. Hackworth, Mrs. Riggs, Mr. Sabatino, and Mr. Parker voting “Yea.” Motion failed, 5-1.
F. ORDINANCE 2004-11, “AN ORDINANCE TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A REAL ESTATE PURCHSE CONTRACT WITH BARNARD AND DEBORAH KEMTER FOR THE PURCHASE OF 290 HEREFORD DRIVE, PICKERINGTON, OHIO,” First Reading, Riggs. Mrs. Riggs moved to adopt; Mr. Parker seconded the motion. Mrs. Riggs stated the purchase of this property will resolve some drainage issues and will provide more space for the service department. Mr. Wiseman stated the building can also be used for storage, and we are looking at potentially moving some employees from the old barn into the building as they currently do not have a heated environment. Mr. Mapes stated appraisals have been done by the property owner and the City, and the purchase price is essentially a compromise between the two appraisals. Roll call was taken with Mr. Wisniewski, Mrs. Riggs, Mr. Parker, Mr. Sabatino, Mr. Wright, and Mr. Hackworth voting “Yea.” Motion passed, 6-0.
G. RESOLUTION 2004-07R, “A RESOLUTION TO APPOINT MITCH O’BRIEN TO THE VACANT OFFICE OF CITY COUNCILPERSON AND THE DECLARATION OF IMMEDIATE NECESSITY AND EMERGENCY SO THAT COUNCIL’S ACTION CAN BE COMPLETED AND EFFECTIVE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF SIXTY DAYS FROM THE OFFICE BECOMING VACANT,” First Reading, Riggs, Wright, Hackworth, Sabatino, Wisniewski. Mrs. Riggs moved to adopt; Mr. Wright seconded the motion. Mrs. Riggs stated Rules Committee had interviewed 12 excellent candidates. She stated Mr. O’Brien has been involved in the community for quite some time, he is very knowledgeable, an analytical thinker, and his background will be helpful for the City. Mrs. Riggs stated she would ask for three readings this evening. Mr. Wright stated he concurred with Mrs. Riggs that there were 12 excellent candidates, and the job of Rules Committee was to do what was best for the City and he felt they had done that. Mr. Hackworth stated he felt the interview process worked very well and Mr. O’Brien has very good relationships with the Township Trustees and the School Board and he felt that would be beneficial to the City. Mr. Sabatino stated although he is not a member of Rules Committee, he did attend all the interviews and he was glad to see that the process worked. Mr. Sabatino stated he was glad they were able to reach a consensus candidate and he would welcome Mr. O’Brien to Council. Mr. Wisniewski stated he had attended the final interviews and Mr. O’Brien has a lot of qualifications that will benefit the City. Mr. Parker stated he had chosen not to be added as a sponsor to this legislation, however, he felt Mr. O’Brien would be an asset to the Council. Mr. Parker stated the reason he could not sponsor the legislation is due to the fact that the EPA killed the Hickory Lakes purchase based upon the recent referendum, and Mr. O’Brien was a part of that Committee. Mr. Parker stated he has discussed this with Mr. O’Brien and Mr. O’Brien understood his position. Mr. Parker further stated in the past Council was chastised for not appointing the next highest vote getter in the election, and Mr. O’Brien was not a candidate at the last election. Mr. Parker stated there was a flaw in our system, and perhaps Rules Committee could review this. He stated if the criteria of being the next highest vote getter is not what we are going to use, that should be specified. He stated he agreed the criteria that should be used is to select the best person for the position. Mr. Parker stated he would vote for this because it was going to happen and he would not waste everyone’s time by dragging it out. Mrs. Riggs stated as Chairman of Rules Committee, she would like to point out that there is no requirement to appoint the next highest vote getter, and just because someone runs for office does not mean they are the best qualified out of all the applicants. Mrs. Riggs stated the interview process was very structured and she felt with the majority of council supporting this, it was a very positive step. Mr. Sabatino stated he would like to thank Mr. Parker for seeing beyond his objections and allowing the process to move forward. He stated all of council needed to put the past in the past and move forward. Mr. Wright stated he would like to clarify that six votes are necessary to suspend the rules and to pass this as an emergency tonight. Mr. Parker stated he has expressed his opinion, and he will vote for this tonight.
