Summary

Councilmember Preston Shell questioned a BOT agreement, saying there should be 30 truck bays rather than 24 and that payments should route through the auditor's office. Other members thanked staff and invited tours of new highway buildings; the council adjourned afterward.

Councilmember Preston Shell raised concerns about a BOT (build-operate-transfer) agreement during the Dec. 1 meeting, saying the agreement calls for 24 truck bays but that there should be 30. Shell also asserted that payments related to the agreement should be processed through the auditor's office.

The minutes record Shell's questions but do not show a response from other members, staff, or legal counsel in the meeting summary. Separately, Councilmember Brad Gilbert publicly thanked payroll deputy Cheryl Voyles for her years of service, and Councilmember Gerald Fleming invited members and the public to tour the new highway buildings. With no further business, the council adjourned following a motion by Preston Shell and a second from Gerald Fleming.

The minutes do not include supporting documents for the BOT agreement, a roll-call vote, or next steps for resolving Shell's concerns.
