37 <br /> <br /> <br /> The City Attorney said they rely upon the City Engineer to do <br /> the engineering. He said the City obtained from Campbell Soup <br /> the number of trucks estimated to be using the street daily, <br /> and based upon engineering practices the Engineer determined <br /> what was needed. Chairman Cecil said if he understands <br /> correctly the City has looked at this matter and feels that <br /> twelve inches is required for this drive. <br /> <br /> City Engineer Smith said he would like to briefly explain how <br /> he arrived at this figure. He said he went through and checked <br /> the soil types and Highway Department Design Manuals based on <br /> his conversation with the people at Campbell's Soup. He said <br /> they figure they are going to be running 300 trucks weighing <br /> approximately 80,000 lbs. per day both in and out. He said <br /> when you look at all these factors plus the soil types expected <br /> to exist in the area then the numbers used to determine the <br /> pavement thickness are correct. He said another thing the <br /> design considers is a twenty year service life. Mr. Cecil said <br /> the City could put the request in at what the amount is and the <br /> Board will act on it at the June meeting. <br /> <br /> City Attorney Haynes said his question was as to whether the <br /> Board wanted to pay it as the draws occurred or whether you <br /> wanted to go ahead and authorize the full amount since it is <br /> going to be for a short period of time. Chairman Cecil asked <br /> for thoughts on this matter. Chairman Cecil said he felt if <br /> the project is authorized the Board probably wants to Just <br /> authorize one payment. Chairman Cecil said he felt the board <br /> was very interested in this project. <br /> <br /> Board member Amis wanted to know how much above the actual bid <br /> could the Board expect to see the cost of the project go up due <br /> to City appropriated time. Mr. Smith said when he was drawing <br /> up the design he did not keep track of his time. City Manager <br /> Malone asked if it would it give the Board members a better <br /> feeling about the project if the City participated. Chairman <br /> Cecil said that he felt that would make the Board happy. <br /> <br /> City Manager Malone suggested the Engineering and staff time <br /> involved in the project plus approximately $20,000.00. Mr. <br /> Malone said he felt that would be a contribution the City <br /> Council would find suitable. Chairman Cecil said when the <br /> Board acts on this request that it be structured in this <br /> manner. Chairman Cecil asked for other questions and there <br /> being none he thanked Mr. Smith for this report. <br /> <br /> Chairman Cecil questioned the next item regarding personnel. <br /> City Manager Malone stated that this item was placed on the <br /> agenda in the event the Board wished to discuss the joint <br /> Chamber/Economic Development Manager. Chairman Cecil asked <br /> board members if they felt it was premature to discuss this <br /> matter and they agreed. <br /> <br /> Chairman Cecil stated at the next meeting the Board will act on <br /> the Campbell Soup Street Paving Project request and also <br /> possibly at that time discuss the personnel situation. <br /> <br /> Chairman Cecil asked if there was any other business and there <br /> being none he declared the board meeting adjourned. <br /> <br /> CHAIRMAN PHILIP R.
