The Canton City Council approved a consent agenda and several discrete motions during its June 5 meeting, taking actions on water system engineering task orders, right-of-way purchases and a public-safety letter of support.
Consent agenda: Council adopted the consent agenda as presented, which included (a) award of the river vault installation to Cummins Enterprises in the amount of $73,712.57; (b) award of Task Order 7, Addendum 2 for supplemental services for the Ridge Pine elevated tank and booster pump station construction administration to Black & Veatch in the amount of $490,661; and (c) award of Task Order 13 to Black & Veatch for Canton's water system master plan project in the amount of $486,500. A councilmember made the motion to approve the consent agenda; the motion passed with all members voting in favor.
Right-of-way acquisition for West Main Street pedestrian improvements: Planning staff reported negotiated settlements for Parcels 2 and 5, with Parcel 2 at $25,573 and Parcel 5 at $29,280 (total $54,853). A councilmember moved to approve the right-of-way acquisitions; the motion passed unanimously.
Letter of support for I-575 emergency median opening: Staff said PDP completed a design and applied for a Georgia Department of Transportation permit for an emergency median opening intended to improve first-responder access; GDOT initially denied the permit. Council voted to authorize submission of a letter of support endorsing the median-opening application; the motion passed with all members recorded as voting in favor.
Votes recorded in the transcript are summarized as unanimous for each approved motion; the transcript states "All members voted for the motion" for several items but does not provide a roll-call tally in the public record portion of the transcript.
Council also received information about the Georgia Power pole relocation estimate ($40,523) related to the Canton Creek pedestrian bridge project; staff said the relocation cost is included as part of the project grant budget and that the city's franchise agreement requires the city to pay 62.25% of the relocation cost.
