Present were Council President Jack Burrell, Councilmembers: Jimmy Conyers, Robert Brown, and Kevin Boone, Mayor Karin Wilson, City Attorney Marcus E. McDowell, and City Clerk Lisa A. Hanks. Councilmember Jay Robinson was absent. Council President Burrell called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m. and announced that on the City Council Meeting agenda Item Number was pulled by the developer; and Items Number 8 and 9 were pulled by the City Council and Mayor. He also announced the first item on the Work Session Agenda had been pulled by Mayor Wilson. The following topics were discussed: • Agenda Item Number 1 was pulled at the request of Mayor Wilson. • Public Works Director Richard Johnson addressed the City Council regarding the RFP for the inspection of K-1 Center which will not be opened until July 8, 2018. Mr. Johnson said he will need a resolution for the next City Council meeting for Inspections Services with a blank for the company and a blank for the not-to-exceed. Council President Burrell asked City Clerk Lisa Hanks to add a resolution for the next agenda. • The first item on the agenda was a Presentation by Christian Preus with CPLA labeled "Set of Plans of the Transit Hub and Alley Project." (See attached hand out) Mr. Preus said that a group of City stakeholders met several times with ideas for the plans. He said the parking garage is the core of Fairhope and we looked at destination and recirculation for the garage; haphazard; stormwater issues; a second cardboard pickup; and shared space. Mr. Preus said the name of the alley will be "Arts Alley." Mr. Johnson discussed funding for this project and scheduling it around businesses and events to lessen disturbance; and we want Council and everyone's input. He said movement for the one-way is east to west; and travel space is not being cut. The consensus of the City Council was they liked the plan and one way traffic flow. Mr. Johnson said once the bid is awarded, the project would be completed in 180 days; and the contract must leave streets accessible. • Mr. Johnson mentioned a Historic Marker that was found during the Warehouse cleanup; and the need to find a place for it. • Finance Director Jill Cabaniss addressed the City Council and stated we are in budget preparations.
