Curtis Fendley stated he asked for a bid from contractors for the upcoming renovations of the Love Civic Center.
He received bids from Archer Construction and WRA. It was decided to take Archer Constructions proposal to the
Executive Board of the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce. The proposal consisted of approximately $8,000 for
a pre -construction evaluation fee and 10% of the total construction. They expect the, cost to be $650,000 to 1.2
million. Jon McFadden added that the audio, video, lighting and HVAC control RFP was issued May 25' and
proposals are due July 16th'
Randy Nation stated that he would like to plan an AED/CPR class for LCC and Chamber Staff and any board
member that is interested. He will schedule a date.
The trolley barn is still having mold and mildew issues and a bid was submitted to, install a louvered ventilation
system for $2800 plus electrical installation. Only one bid was submitted. The cost of repair may be offset by a
$300 damage claim resulting from a trailer being backed into the side of the building last July. A vent or fan will be
installed in the area of the damage rather than replacing the damaged metal panel. A motion to approve, was
made by Pam Anglin, seconded by Troy Scholl, all approved.
Randy Nation stated that the bike kiosk was vandalized. Three bike locks were broken during the night. The
perpetrators broke the bikes free and went for a ride across the civic center parking lot. A police officer came
through but did not see the perpetrators but his presence scared them off. The officer did submit their license
plate to dispatch. A report was filed, video has been provided to police and investigation is underway.
Replacement locks have been ordered. Randy Nation suggested we install a new light and possible awing over the
bike kiosk. Curtis Fendley stated that we would add that to the proposal for construction and let the contractor
decide what would work best. Randy will seek bids to improve lighting on the area. it was the consensus of the
board to reduce rental hours from 24/7 availability to 6 am to approximately sunset. This information will be
provided to the police department so they will know when bikes shouldn't be in use.
Randy Nation created a survey for events held at the civic center. This survey will go to all renters of the civic
center and will provide feedback or how the event went, cleanliness of civic center and any other information they
provide.
The next meeting will be held on September 13, 2018.
Meeting adjourned at 4:28 pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Gina Crawford
