City Council Meeting Minutes April 20, 2021 <br />relating to the Change Order on behalf of the City; and declaring an effective date. <br />A motion was made by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott, seconded by Council <br />Member Gleason, to approve Resolution 2021-74R. <br />Council Member Baker expressed his concern with the overall expenditure of <br />the Police Department renovations. When looking at the current cost of the <br />project would we have considered another bidder or construction company? <br />Mr. Stapp stated that bids are evaluated under strict parameters and the <br />submissions are evaluated on what is presented. It is hard to determine what <br />may come up as the project progresses. Material costs have increased a great <br />amount and he stated funding has not been fully allocated for this project. <br />Given the nature of what is driving this increase, it is likely a different <br />construction company would experience the same issue. <br />The motion to approve carried by the following vote: <br />For: 7 - Mayor Pro Tem Derrick, Mayor Hughson, Council Member Baker, Council Member <br />Gonzales, Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott, Council Member Garza and Council <br />Member Gleason <br />Against: 0 <br />NON -CONSENT AGENDA <br />22. Consider approval of Resolution 2021-67R, designating categories and criteria for the <br />use of General Fund dollars made available due to the Award to the City of CARES Act <br />Coronavirus Relief Funds; partially allocating such funds; authorizing the City Manager to <br />act as the Official Representative of the City in matters related to said funds on behalf of <br />the City, and declaring an effective date. <br />Mayor Hughson stated the Coronavirus Relief Fund reimbursement is in the <br />final stage in being issued for payment. It has actually been submitted for <br />payment processing; however, the funds are still not in our bank. If we do not <br />receive by the 2nd reading on May 4th we can either defer to another date or <br />amend the ordinance to basically amend the effective date to state that its <br />effective when the funds are received. <br />MAIN MOTION: A motion was made by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott, <br />seconded by Council Member Gleason, to approve Resolution 2021-67R. <br />Council Member Baker expressed concern with giving $200,000 to the <br />Chamber for businesses for this program and focus on more direct relief to <br />individuals. Ms. Griffith noted that the only funds kept by the Chamber of <br />Commerce are to reimburse the time spent on administering the program. The <br />City of San Marcos Page 22 <br />
