Travis,
I think it would be safe to say our city is paying more than adequate salaries. I feel most hard working folks would have loved to have a 16.5% wage increase over the last five years and have not. I would hope you feel the same and find their pay more than sufficient.
Thank you

C. RESOLUTION NO. 2024-198: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT OF PARTS AND SERVICE FROM PARKSON CORPORATION FOR THE CITY’S AQUA GUARD SELF CLEANING BAR/FILTER SCREEN AT THE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A CONTRACT; AND SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
I cannot make the math on this one to add up the $179,817 staff is looking for on this resolution. On page 47 & 48 of the agenda packet I add up item 1B and 3 and only come up with $159,462.
Can you please tell me what I am missing?

B. RESOLUTION NO. 2024-197: A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A PROPOSAL FROM HALL CONSTRUCTION CO., INC. TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES REGARDING THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER ROOF REPAIR PROJECT; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A WORK AUTHORIZATION THERETO; AND SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Guaranteed Maximum Price of $34,144 for the project, which includes the construction management fee.
Well I guess we should be glad we at least should not see this come back for more money for a project manager!
I am aware we need to fix the roof if it leaks, but in the agenda packet I do not see any diagrams or pictures to where the roof issues lie. Isn’t this the building still undergoing repairs from a fire? How do we know this is not due to the fire? Like I said I do not see any diagrams or pictures, only the bid.
What I am concerned with is if the project is approved, the funding will need to be reappropriated to the FY 2024-2025 budget through the year-end budget amendment process and the agenda packet is lacking enough information to make an informed decision.
And I may have missed it, when is the projected date of completion of the project, and is the city charging a penalty if the project is not completed on time?
Thank you

Dear Editor,
How ironic that after discovering a case of Polio in Gaza the combatants, the PLO and the IDF have agreed to a 3 day suspension of their war, so that the Polio vaccine can be delivered to the inhabitants of Gaza. Why ironic? Hamas and the PLO slaughtered 1,200 Israelis and is still murdering innocent Israeli hostages taken on the first day of their invasion of Israel on October 7th, as evidenced by the six Israeli bodies found in a PLO tunnel.
And, an American-Jewish scientist, Jonas Salk, developed the Polio Vaccine on March 26, 1953, 71 years ago, which has saved millions throughout the world from a terrible disease, inflicting also an American president FDR. That is what is ironic. While the PLO and its allies and masters in Iran try to eradicate the tiny Jewish State, the lives of their Arab-Muslim children are being saved because of a Jewish man they would have murdered along with all the Jews in the world. Jews would rather save lives than destroy them like their enemies.
Thank you, Wm. J. Levy Ormond Beach, FL 32174
