                              e.   Cedar Street Pumping Station Instrumentation Bids:

Mayor Kipp read the memo from Marc Johns in regard to the bids received for the instrumentation at the Cedar Street Pumping Station that is currently under construction.  Since this is a specialized field it was not possible to obtain three bids, there are two bids.  Trustee Sparrow questioned the validity of the bids since they were both over 30 days old, Mayor Kipp advised that they were still good bids and that due to the time in between meetings, and obtaining bids it is often past thirty days. 

  Motion was made by Trustee Beach, seconded by Trustee Tyler to approve the bid from Brown’s Hill in the amount of $8048.00 to complete the instrumentation for the Cedar Street Pumping Station project.  The motion carried 6-0, Mayor Kipp, Trustees Baumgartner, Brandt, Sparrow, Beach, and Tyler voting yes. 

                             

                              f.    Automatic Gate at shop Bids:

Mayor Kipp explained that due to safety concerns and security it has become necessary to keep the gate to the shop area closed, and that in the interest of efficiency an automatic gate would be ideal.  The board discussed the cost difference to install an automatic gate or to extend fencing around the lagoons, based on the costs of fencing during the waste water treatment upgrade; it was deemed that fencing would exceed the prices quoted for the automatic gate.  One side of the gate will remain manual to allow for a larger opening to get equipment into the area when necessary and to have just one side operate automatically with openers similar to garage door openers.  There were three bids, in the amounts that follow:  Steelock $ 7,654.00; Rocky Mtn Access Control 7,967.00; and Standard Fence Co. $8,900.00.  Rocky Mtn Access provided the town with a detailed scope of work and physically reviewed the site for the work to be performed, for this reason Marc Johns requested that the bid for Rocky Mountain Access be approved as it is just slightly higher than Steelock.

Motion was made by Trustee Tyler, seconded by Trustee Beach to approve the bid from Rocky Mountain Access Control in the amount of $7967.00 for the installation of an automatic gate for the shop/lagoon area.  Motion carried 6-0, Mayor Kipp, Trustees Baumgartner, Brandt, Sparrow, Beach, and Tyler voting yes. 

  

                              g.   Pumpkin Patch Donation Reimbursement request:

Mayor Kipp asked that the board reimburse him for the donation he made on behalf of the town for the pumpkin patch.  This request came in after the meeting had taken place, and rather than not have the town participate Mayor Kipp donated personally in the name of the Town of Keenesburg. 

Motion was made by Trustee Sparrow, seconded by Trustee Tyler to approve the reimbursement of $200.00 to Mayor Kipp for the donation to the pumpkin patch activity on behalf of the town.  Motion carried 6-0, Mayor Kipp, Trustees Baumgartner, Brandt, Sparrow, Beach, and Tyler voting yes. 

 

                              h.   Access Permit for Ground Water Monitoring Well:

The town clerk received a late response from JB Wright, & Assoc in regard to this request, Mayor Kipp asked that the board review the request along with the response from JB Wright & Assoc.

Motion was made by Mayor Kipp, seconded by Trustee Tyler to table this item to the next meeting; motion carried 6-0, Mayor Kipp, Trustees Baumgartner, Brandt, Sparrow, Beach, and Tyler voting yes. 

 

                             

i.      Executive Session:

Motion was made by Trustee Baumgartner seconded by Trustee Tyler to go into executive session for discussion of a personnel matter under C.R.S. § 24-6-402(4)(f)(I) and not involving any specific employee who has requested discussion of the matter in open session, specifically concerning a request by the Mayor to review the employee performance evaluation of Marc Johns that has been prepared by the Mayor, as required by Section VII.B.1 of the Town of Keenesburg Personnel Policy, and for the purpose of determining positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations, developing strategy for negotiations, and/or instructing negotiators, under C.R.S. § 24-6-402(4)(e) regarding the A & W Bulk Water Sales Agreement.

                              j.    Public Works Director Appointment:
