<br />5. Contract for sandblasting and painting of Centennial Commons gym’s ceiling. The staff <br />recommended awarding the contract to Joe Ward Painting Company for $65,802.00. <br />The City Attorney had reviewed the contract. <br /> <br /> Mr. Price moved to approve awarding the contract to Joe Ward Painting Company for <br />$65,802.00 and was seconded by Mr. Glickert. <br /> <br /> Mr. Kraft noted that Centennial Commons was not very old and asked if it was normal <br />to repaint in only six years. <br /> <br /> Mr. Jared Agee, University City Building Commissioner, stated that the ceiling at <br />Centennial Common was painted with a type of paint that was not properly adhering to <br />the decking material and the structural steel. He said it had been reviewed by several <br />experts who said it could not be patch painted in such a way that would give if a shelf <br />life of more than three months. Mr. Agee said the plan was to completely sandblast <br />and repaint with a paint that would adhere to the structural steel and the decking so this <br />would not be a problem in the future. <br /> <br /> Mr. Glickert said that in his two terms on City Council, no issue had been greater than <br />the constant calls he received from citizens regarding the paint flaking from the ceiling <br />of Centennial Commons onto the track and gym floor. He stated he was glad that they <br />were dealing with that issue and hoped this would remedy the problem. <br /> <br /> The motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />6. Sweeping Private Streets.

There was no second to the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft said usually they do not have the City Attorney’s opinion made public; <br />however, he would like to ask Council to allow the City Attorney’s opinion be made <br />public in this matter because he would like the public to know the reasons behind the <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe asked the City Manager if the City Attorney could provide his opinion on the <br />legality of the City sweeping private streets. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft stated he would like the City Attorney’s written opinion be made public since <br />residents that were in favor of street sweeping in private subdivisions were present for <br />this agenda item. Mr. Kraft moved that the City Attorney’s written opinion regarding <br />sweeping private-owned streets be made public and was seconded by Mr. Sharpe. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow said Mr. Kraft’s suggestion was a good idea, but he wondered if this issue <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
