Procedures,
As set out herein, the procedure for adopting an ordinance to establish or amend a historic
landmark or district designation may be initiated by the city council, the planning and zoning
commission, the historic preservation commission or the owner(s) of property within the area of
request. Upon initiation of the procedure for designation, applications for a permit to place,
construct, alter, demolish, or remove any structure on the property shall follow the procedures set
forth herein for areas designated as historic districts, and shall continue thereafter unless and
until the city council shall deny the proposed designation."
Commissioner Holtman stated that she believes this means the HPC can make recommendation
or ask the questions we were trying to ask when the issue with the Church Street duplex project
was brought before the Commission. Can the HPC make a recommendation to P&Z or the City

stated there are approximately 10 properties on Church Street that are zoned multi -family.

bid for the addition of a deceleration lane on Loop 286 for the reconstruction and expansion of 34th
Street and the extension of J. Eagan to 34th Street at Northwest Industrial Park as part of the EDA grant
awarded in April earlier in the year. On November 16th, bids were publicly opened and in response, the
PEDC received two bids. The first bid was from J&L Paving at $1,151,367.69 and the second bid was from
Richard Drake Construction at $1,478,764.95.
Ms. Hammond explained that both bidders were vetted and deemed qualified bidders and noted that all
materials were provided in the board member packet for review including a recommendation from the
engineer of record for the EDA grant, Shawn Napier of EST. She stated that both bid submittals included
a detailed bid package, proof of coverage, bid sheet with tabulations, SAM.gov active registration, and
for the recommended bid, previous work experience and comparable work experience are included. Ms.
Hammond noted that there is an extensive process provided by the EDA that must be conducted with a
vast amount of documentation.
Ms. Hammond asked members of the board to reference EST's letter recommending awarding the
construction contract to J&L paving based on being the lowest qualified bidder. As a point of reference,
Ms. Hammond stated that when the PEDC submitted the EDA grant, the budget that was estimated by
the engineer of record was $1,485,000, noting that the low bidder came in considerably under budget.
Ms. Hammond stated that if the board accepts the recommendation, this recommendation still requires
the EDA to sign off, noting that the PEDC has submitted the recommendation to the EDA concurrently to
keep the process in motion. Ms. Hammond concluded her portion of the discussion by reiterating that
there is a lengthy checklist associated with the process and asked Mr. Napier of EST, the engineer of
record, to provide additional comments regarding the recommendation process.

tentatively starting work around early spring, weather permitting. Mr. Napier concluded the discussion
by opening the floor to questions.
After a brief discussion between members of the board, Mr. Napier, and Ms. Hammond regarding the
NW Industrial Park EDA Expansion Project, the discussion concluded.

Industrial Park EDA Expansion Project as the low bidder presenting the best value to the project subject
to EDA approval. Mr. Roddy seconded the motion.

elements that were no longer necessary.

Ms. Hammond stated that over the last couple of months, the PEDC has been in discussions with the
City and the Chamber regarding a software platform called Placer.ai, explaining that this software is a
multi -faceted platform that provides geofenced data. She went on to note that all three entities

commuting patterns, traffic counts, visitor trends, trade area gaps, and more. She explained that there is
Page 3 of 6

a great deal of value for all three entities, especially for the PEDC, noting that the three core things that
she believes will be of particular interest to the PEDC are commuting patterns, residential leakage, and
traffic counts. She continued by stating that it will also provide services in supporting the city in retail
recruitment, in conjunction with traffic counts and utilization of geofencing. The software is $15,000
annually and she is seeking board approval to participate in a three-way split, bringing the PEDC cost to
$5,000 for a year-long contract. She noted that the City has already signed an agreement with Placer.ai
and the PEDC would be reimbursing the city in the amount of $5,000.
Ms. Hammond concluded the discussion by stating that in the interest of transparency, she wanted to
present this to the board for consideration and approval, as the PEDC Executive Director can move
forward based on the PEDC's current budget and current spending thresholds.
Mr. Coleman made the motion to approve sharing the cost of the Placer.ai joint software platform for
one year with the City of Paris and Lamar County Chamber of Commerce, with each party contributing
one-third of the total amount. Mr. Roddy seconded the motion.
