The commission reviewed several routine consent agenda items covering fee updates, service extensions, purchases and renewals.
Staff described a 2.17 percent annual adjustment to the public works project fee using the Engineering News-Record construction cost index; staff said the fee is an impact fee on development used to fund public works projects, principally transportation. Staff also briefed the commission on an ordinance update to the city's building valuation table used for permit calculations, proposing an increase of the residential habitable-space valuation from $165 to $170 per square foot (a 3 percent update to the valuation table drawn from International Code Council building-valuation data), which staff said is separate from the public‑works impact fee.
A sewer-service extension to a single-family dwelling at 1004 Holly Tree Gap Road (approx. 8.7 acres, outside city limits but inside the urban growth boundary) was described as a low-pressure grinder pump connection. Staff emphasized the property owner would own and maintain private on-site grinder equipment; the city's maintenance program is optional at a participation fee of $1,900. Staff explained tap fees are $10,000 for properties outside the city and $5,000 for properties inside city limits.
Other consent items included a purchase waiver and contract for carpet for the children's library: the carpet purchase is $42,004.98 from Tarkett (custom run) with installation by Trinity Flooring; the library capital improvement allocation was $65,000. Staff also presented a final invoice to Franklin Marriott for an employee-recognition dinner totaling $33,421.50; a three-year renewal for Automox endpoint-management (730 devices at $45.75 per device, $33,397.50 per year; staff said a three-year commitment produces savings of about $3,600 per year); and replacement vehicle purchases for public works, parks and seven police vehicles (vendor Wilson County Motors; police vehicle total $369,853.60).
Staff said these items were within budget or would be funded from previously-identified capital funds and that more detailed documentation would be provided in the amended resolution or packet materials. The transcript records staff presentations and questions but does not include a roll-call vote or recorded motion.
