Regular Council Minutes 11-15-04 Page 3 asking Council go ahead with the Greene Company's proposal because as soon as we get the cable situation cleared up, we can move forward. Mr. Metzung said S.O.M. Center Road continues to move along. The bulk of the Phase 3 work, the concrete work has been completed but we have some large bores left at the Highland Road area. Work at the Beta intersection has begun. The Highland Road area will be completed on Thursday. An infill on the Service Department is being completed this week and we also have an area where they will be adding a third lane here at Wilson Mills sometime next week-they are digging that up now. They have moved to the box culvert at the north end-the pedestrian underpass-and have attempted to raise that underpass using a foam grout material; that proved to be unsuccessful so they have come back and actually excavated the boxes and they are back in position now. They must re-waterproof the walls and backfill with loose material. When they are completed with that, they will be able to do the concrete pour in the area. I don't know when that will be. That is what will be completed this year; that will complete what is Phase 3 roadway and then we probably won't see them until next year. Building Mr. Marrelli said afollow-up from the Caucus Meeting, the High School maintenance building was approved and will begin construction shortly at the High School. Mr. Carney has finalized his plans and is getting the utilities in order to begin construction on his building on S.O.M. Center. Regarding the Civic Center alterations, as we discussed last week, I am getting bids on phase one work: electrical, mechanical, plumbing; I won't have them for probably another week or so and will report back as soon as they are available. Council President Buckholtz said so the Carney building is a go and asked, you don't need anything from Council on that? When will he start? Mr. Marrelli said yes. Right now he is trying to get permits from the Water Department; and utility work is being ironed out. [No action is required by Council.] Property Manager Mr. Chapman said the closing statement on the Lazzaro property has been completed and delivered to our Finance Department so we can complete that closing shortly. We should be able to get in there shortly and clear out the remaining items in the house, put the new carpeting in and get it ready to lease within the next 45-60 days. A homeowner on White Road has requested us to consider a purchase option on her home in the event she might want to sell. We provided her with an appraisal; she advised she does not want to enter into that sort of agreement at this time. She may call us back in a few weeks like she had done before and change her mind. I will be touring 2 of the homes that we own over the next week; I have called those homeowners and told them that I will come by in the near future. We like to do that from time to time to be sure the properties are in good condition and being properly maintained, etc. I delivered an appraisal to a homeowner on Highland Road who asked if we might be interested in the acquisition of that particular property. We are quite interested and pleased with that and if they are interested, we will be looking at that further and discussing that issue as well. The Word of Grace got most of
