January 06, 2025 7:00 PM City of Smyrna Mayor and Council Meeting 2800 King Street SE Council Chambers Page 11 of 14 As previously discussed, staff has worked with the contractor for options to create an aesthetic finish that can be more easily maintained to address the staining that has occurred on the wall surfaces for the Windy Hill Boulevard project. We have determined the most cost-effective solution is to treat the surfaces with a tinted coating, though this product has a higher unit cost because coverage is not as broad per gallon as the clear coat. The net increase in unit cost is $0.59/gallon. Councilmember Travis Lindley made a motion to approve item CHOR2025-001; seconded by Councilmember Glenn Pickens.
