The items approved and key details are listed below.

- Surplus radios sale (item 2025-343): IT Services requested authority to sell 50 surplus Motorola portable radios to High Point University for $12,500, described as fair market value. Staff said the radios have aged out of their eight-year service life and are no longer needed for municipal operations; statute requires adoption of the attached resolution and publication of notice at least 10 days before sale. Proceeds will return to the city. The motion passed by voice vote.

- Checkpoint firewall renewal with SHI International (item 2025-344): IT staff recommended annual renewal of software licensing and enterprise support for city Checkpoint firewall systems at $143,469.56, funded in the FY25-26 budget and procured via the Charlotte Technology products and related services contract. The motion passed by voice vote.

- Mimecast (MOMcast) email protection renewal with SHI (item 2025-345): Assistant IT staff recommended renewing the Mimecast subscription used for email threat protection at $115,470.79, purchased via Omnia Partners IT Solutions contract and funded in FY25-26. The motion passed by voice vote.

- Tree trimming contract (item 2025-347): Utilities staff recommended awarding a lump-sum contract to Aspen for tree trimming around the city’s approximately 450 miles of overhead electric lines. The recommended award amount is $2,550,000; staff said the procurement is intended to gain efficiencies and expand the miles trimmed compared with prior years (the RFP is expected to trim roughly 193 miles versus 95 miles trimmed last year under the allotted budget). The motion passed by voice vote.

- Temporary biosolids hauling (item 2025-348): Public Services requested a not-to-exceed contract with McGill Environmental for hauling biosolids during a scheduled incinerator shutdown in September 2025 to allow inspections and maintenance. McGill provided the lowest responsive proposal at $105,000 and funds were available in the current budget. The motion passed by voice vote.

All five items were presented with recommended motions in the committee packet and approved on voice votes; no roll-call tallies were read into the record.

Assistant Police Chief Matt Truitt told the committee the change order will expand the department’s body-worn and fleet cameras, add services to interview rooms and support the department following a migration to Axon. He said the city initially purchased cameras under a different company and has since migrated to Axon. Truitt said the department currently has more personnel than it has body cameras and needs additional units and spares because of service interruptions and battery failures; the expansion also covers reserve officers who will be required to wear cameras.

A committee member asked whether the expanded devices would be comparable to the previously purchased cameras and whether they provided longer battery life or improved upload capabilities. Assistant Chief Truitt said the city will receive the upgraded version of Axon cameras with comparable or improved capabilities and that interview-room support previously provided under a different contract is now encompassed under this agreement.

Truitt and committee documents identified available funds in the FY 25-26 budget to cover the change order. A committee member asked why the change order was needed after a prior larger purchase; staff said the 15% increase reflected expanded users, migration to Axon, replacement of older equipment and need for spares.

The motion to approve the change order passed on a voice vote. The committee record shows the approved amount as $698,798.34 and notes the item as a contract change order (item 2025-346).","The Finance Committee approved a $698,798.34 change order with Axon Enterprise to expand body-worn and fleet cameras, add interview-room services and provide upgraded camera models; staff said the change addresses additional users, spares and integration after moving to Axon.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6587522,"High Point approves sale of 4-acre downtown lot to Condon Foundation for multifamily, structured parking",121,1285000,1406000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588435-c334c95aa48b984c08c336dbf874d36f&start=1285&end=1406","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588435-c334c95aa48b984c08c336dbf874d36f/thumbnail_1285000.jpg","/articles/6587522/High-Point/Guilford-County/North-Carolina/High-Point-approves-sale-of-4-acre-downtown-lot-to-Condon-Foundation-for-multifamily-structured-parking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587522-aa7b5f86a56bd12e1ced768973d82ade/orig.mp4?Expires=1773775518&Signature=FSOJi8tHxWjDlmK7X-hnp~KXOVPndJK1MIEyg0-R9pOTHOhdL5Ig3Idi73hGx4QhyudiP2QilFJlyaXhLWgc-Y2bBXOg5TYy9TR89jh8uLaE0nU-tgWvXe76lY1H2fgTEAfuJWn3MjoWF1J9iqP6wJP4EgCYyMJFFi9DJHCC5dDa6UHng0DPtGg2orAxcAGdS3BkFuzyH4XUFxi5Cwbs2EfAAc7vpAvU3WxHt5RumIMoTbfHj~Rtz8-Ogz2BC9mwseWkSxq04sVA0B4sfDEYucebd1M0JrA3XgBiUNz66IpUKh~aUmklb9rY6yCcXea~OlEwj3wyMkYxLa2IpW4Vjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The High Point Finance Committee on Aug. 14 approved an agreement of purchase and sale for city-owned property at the intersection of English and Lindsay to the David and Helen Condon Family Foundation for $2,065,835.

Deputy City Manager Greg Ferguson said the parcel, about 4 acres currently used as Point Stadium parking, fronts English and North Lindsay and includes one parcel on Appling Way. The cover memo lists county property tax record numbers and maps the parcels in the packet.

Under the sale terms presented, the property must be used for high-quality multifamily apartments with associated structured parking that would include up to 200 public parking spaces. The agreement provides a 180-day inspection period after execution and requires the buyer to identify a developer within 24 months of closing and submit construction documents within 36 months of closing.

Ferguson told the committee the city has adopted several policies addressing development scenarios in the Catalyst District and special state legislation grants the city the right to sell property by negotiated private sale when the sale furthers the city’s adopted policies; the legislation also allows the city to attach covenants, conditions and restrictions to the conveyance.

A committee member who followed the previous downtown revitalization work called the sale “a really great opportunity for High Point,” and the committee approved the conveyance by voice vote.

The agreement resolution authorizes the conveyance and execution of all necessary documents; the committee packet includes the sale price, parcel listings, and the timeline and development conditions described above. The city did not provide additional financial incentives or subsidy details during the committee presentation.","The Finance Committee approved sale of roughly 4 acres currently used as Point Stadium parking to the David and Helen Condon Family Foundation for $2,065,835.

The project will cover South Main Street from the Russell Avenue intersection south to Grimes Avenue. Construction is scheduled to begin Nov. 5 after the fall furniture market and is set to pause so the street reopens for the spring 2026 market from April 11 through May. The city’s completion target is Oct. 2, 2026.

Trevor Spencer, engineering and facilities director, told the committee the work will be a “complete rebuild of the right of way” that also includes a new electric duct bank designed to house fiber communications and conversion of all overhead utilities to underground in the project block. Spencer said the city received one qualified bid at the rebid opening on Aug. 5 and recommended award to Breeze Enterprises at $9,496,575.

The committee also approved a separate task order with Volker Incorporated to provide construction inspection and material testing services for the Market District project. The Volker proposal, received Aug. 6, totals $372,761.82 and covers daily on-site monitoring, soil backfill compaction testing, asphalt density testing and concrete compressive-strength testing.

Committee members commented that the price reflected the scope and that the end product should benefit the downtown area. Mayor Pro Tem Bridal Moore made the motion to approve the contract and it passed on a voice vote.

The project will require a full closure of South Main Street within the project block during most of construction and a detour for traffic, with the planned temporary shutdown described to accommodate market events.

The committee record shows both the construction contract (item 2025-349) and the inspection task order (item 2025-350) were approved; the approvals were recorded as passed by voice vote and no roll-call tallies were read into the record.

Plans, detour routing, and coordination with the fall and spring market dates were included in the committee packet; Spencer gave the presentation and answered committee questions on the project schedule and scope.

The city did not provide a detailed funding breakdown during remarks other than saying the award was a bid recommendation and noting the rebid produced a single qualified bidder. Additional permitting and coordination tasks will be required as the project moves into construction.","The High Point Finance Committee approved a $9,496,575 contract with Breeze Enterprises to rebuild South Main Street in the Market District, convert overhead utilities to underground and replace water, sewer and storm lines; construction will begin Nov. 5 after the fall furniture market and pause for the spring 2026 market.","actionData","errors"]
