REPORTS: City Report: Ed Gardulski
Ed Gardulski reviewed the February 2007 City Report which is attached and made part of these minutes.
Mrs. Hale presented the board members a copy of Resolution No. 2005-38, which establishes a Code of Conduct for City Council Members and City Board Members. She indicated that she was sure that everyone had received a copy of the resolution in their board orientation packets but wanted to make sure that they each had a copy. She also presented each board member a memorandum highlighting some of the specific conduct guidelines that she feels would allow for the board to accomplish many of their goals and objectives.
1. DISCUSSION RE: Butterfly Statue Purchase and Site Location – A motion was made by Ms. Rice and seconded by Ms. Mars that the city purchase the butterfly statue and that the statue be placed in the Veteran’s Memorial Park. The motion was unanimously approved. Mr. Gardulski indicated that he would have the purchase request processed through the city’s finance department, he would purchase and place the statue in the desired location. He also indicated that the statue comes in 2 pieces and he would have Public Works staff mount the pieces together.
2. DISCUSSION RE: Replica Space Shuttle for City Hall – Staff reported that they had the historical files on the research that had previously been done on the replica shuttle and the data was over a year old. It was reported that contact had been made with Mr. Doug Wright of CNC Designs inquiring as to his ability to construct a replica shuttle model. Mr. Wright indicated that, based upon the conversation, he thought the cost would far exceed the $20,000.00 budget cap. However, he said he would need a 3D design program and the specification before he could provide an accurate quote. Mr. Nicholas commented that he didn’t think we needed the rocket boosters, only the orbiter. Mr. Gardulski stated that a 1/10th scale of the orbiter would be approximately 12 feet and a 1/15th scale would be approximately 8 feet. Staff said they would continue to check into the cost and pursue quotes from other sources. An updated report would be provided at the April meeting.
4. DISCUSSION RE: Update on “We Noticed” Signs and Guidelines – Kay McKee reported that the new signs were available for board members to pick up at the streets department office. She also indicated that a new cabinet was being purchased for sign storage. Ms. Hale asked that staff provide the board members with the new guidelines.
5. DISCUSSION RE: Spring Awards – Ms. Hale reminded the board members to get their nominations for the Spring Single Family Quarterly award to staff by April 2, 2007. Staff was also asked to see if they can locate the log of previous winners for “We Noticed” and Quarterly Awards. Staff remarked that they would search the database for historical files. Ms. Hale asked Ms. McKee to check on the purchase of 2 new business/commercial quarterly award signs. The ones that we now have are smaller than they should be and are in need of replacement.
OPEN – Council Member Nicholas reported to the board that the next City Council Meeting of March 19, 2007 has the gift to Portugal on the Agenda.
Ms. Hale asked Ms. McKee about getting new Arbor Day Banners. Ms. McKee indicated that these needed to be a budgeted item for FY07/08.
Staff reminded the board that the City’s Board Appreciation Dinner was being held on Saturday, March 24, 2007 beginning a 6 pm at the Radisson. They were also reminded to RSVP to the City Clerk’s Office if they planned to attend.
