The board approved multiple final plats and replats, a contract change order for the Olive Branch Animal Shelter after an irrigation‑line incident, a change order for a South area sewer contract, a five‑year stormwater consultant renewal, and a work order for construction engineering and inspection services at the airport utility extension.
At the Nov. 18 meeting the Board of Alba approved a slate of plats, a replat, several contract change orders and service agreements.
Plats and replat: The board scheduled a Dec. 16 public hearing on a rezoning/consent item to rezone 108 acres to R2 for the Foxpaw Creek residential project and approved a final plat to create a single commercial lot tied to an earlier rezoning. The board also approved the final plat for Lot 2 of the Fox Creek Commercial Subdivision (1.36 acres) and the replat of Lots 29 and 30 of Pleasant Hill Estates East to adjust property lines; the planning commission recommended approval of these plats subject to standard conditions.
Change order — animal shelter: Staff presented change order #6 to the Barnes & Brower contract in the additive amount of $16,602.75 (increasing the contract from $2,737,804 to $2,754,406.75) related to the Olive Branch Animal Shelter project. Public works staff explained that while installing a gravity sewer line the contractor struck an irrigation line that caused extensive damage and required repairs and replacement of the control panel. Mr. Swims recommended approval and said the cost impact was split with the city covering 75% and the contractor covering 25%. "They hit a an irrigation line, did a lot of damage," he said.
Change order — Annexation water/sewer South Area: The board approved change order #3 with Encore LLC in the additive amount of $37,444 to complete additional seeding, sod work and other items for the annexation water and sewer South Area Number 1 contract.
Stormwater services renewal: The board voted to renew a five‑year agreement with Neil Schafer Incorporated for stormwater MS4 program services in an amount not to exceed $15,700 annually; staff said this represents the city’s portion of a jointly managed program with other municipalities and the county.
Work order for airport utilities CEI services: The board approved work order #21 with Garver LLC for construction engineering and inspection services not to exceed $112,238 for the terminal drive utility project to extend water and sewer service at the airport.
Executive session: The board moved to leave regular session and go into executive session to discuss personnel matters in the gas billing and police departments; the motion passed and the board entered executive session.
