[0:21] And welcome to the La Prairie City Council meeting. Today is Monday, November 20th. First order of business is the pledge of allegiance.
[0:38] The United States of America, and to the Republic for which stands, one nation, under that individual with the liberty and justice for all.
[0:52] Good evening, everyone,
[0:59] here I read that
[1:05] first order of business the approval of the minutes from the November 6th Council meeting
[1:14] Those in favor, please say aye
[1:20] Then
[1:24] the consent agenda right I'm three a b and c including the finance report correspondents and then claims for the approval
[1:34] So that we had an addition to that for the consent agenda, does everybody have that?
[2:04] If I didn't want to run away?
[2:07] How are you just a wee bit?
[2:09] A wee bit.
[2:20] A wee bit.
[2:21] I'll move to a couple.
[2:24] One more second.
[2:25] There was in favor, please say aye.
[2:28] Aye.
[2:28] Those in post.
[2:29] consent agenda is approved. Thank you. Moving on to public forum, we have no public.
[2:38] Anybody have additions to the agenda, Lisa?
[2:41] Yes, I have two. One,
[2:45] Pre-carding the F-350 truck frame, possibly adding it to the sand blessing priming and painting
[2:57] quote that we already have.
[3:00] And then we can do that under six G-3.
[3:04] So these equipment, that's all right?
[3:06] Yes, ma'am.
[3:07] And then the other I have is the liquor license renewal for bottles and brews.
[3:15] Okay.
[3:16] Okay.
[3:19] Consider it done.
[3:25] All right.
[3:28] Maintenance is not here.
[3:32] I guess the only question I have is we're waiting on the part for the ASV is that
[3:36] in and in wrong.
[3:39] We've got the same.
[3:41] A little more changeable in and wrong.
[3:45] ASB or...
[3:47] Yes, we are the gear.
[3:49] ASB. Oh, sorry.
[3:50] Yeah, that one is pinnain.
[3:52] Just wait and do what we want to bring in.
[3:54] Right. Okay.
[3:56] All right.
[3:58] Now would be the time since we're not really dealing with much snow.
[4:04] I would say that if, yeah, because it looks like I mean, fairly.
[4:11] Or depend upon when we get that truck back.
[4:14] Right.
[4:14] I have to be the only thing.
[4:16] It's going to be at least a week.
[4:19] Okay.
[4:20] So I can, I think,
[4:21] borrow whether we're going to do that.
[4:23] Sorry for not?
[4:24] Sure.
[4:25] I'm welcome.
[4:26] Okay.
[4:29] Uh, nothing from the attorney engineer.
[4:33] Nothing from law.
[4:35] Uh, Lisa.
[4:36] Let's do that, uh, safety group update.
[4:38] Yeah.
[4:39] Um, I had a meeting today.
[4:41] And we set up a regional safety group called Attastic Counties and we have six cities.
[4:52] Oh, we do.
[4:53] We do.
[4:54] Five was a minimum, right?
[4:57] They have a group.
[4:59] Okay.
[5:00] And then there are two other cities who are interested, possibly interested in joining us.
[5:06] If another city has added, which they didn't mention this part,
[5:10] If another city is at it, we need to have one more additional meeting.
[5:16] So anything over six, you have a seven city, you have seven meetings for you?
[5:21] It's eight meetings for you.
[5:24] And I asked how the cost and he would work out if we had eight and eight meetings.
[5:30] And he said it would be the same as if we had six and six meetings.
[5:42] That's consistent from three on up, the 1200,
[5:49] well that's reasonable as far as what we're getting out of that.
[5:53] definitely. They're working on a schedule. We should have it by the end of the year so that we can
[6:00] then schedule the transfer. Sure. And implement that from for a festival of 2024. Okay. Yeah,
[6:07] that's awesome. It's nice. So what is OSHA giving us the needs meetings for training? Yeah.
[6:15] Um, I don't know. I just don't even know. Yeah, I don't even know. But it's just. Yeah, it's just.
[6:23] Yeah,
[6:23] I don't know if I provided, I didn't provide a list of the services in the US already.
[6:30] And some of them, of course, are required and then some electives?
[6:36] There are some electives, yes.
[6:37] You mentioned like mock, OSHA inspections as well too.
[6:41] Those are other opportunities for options that we have also.
[6:47] I would say that that would probably be the number one priority, at least to start.
[6:52] anything else I related to make sure but if there are some electives that you know maybe it would be nice to at least have one
[7:03] person involved in that meeting
[7:07] all right so twenty twenty four
[7:13] have we well we'll get to that. Never like anything else
[7:21] Okay, okay, Council have anything?
[7:25] There you go, okay.
[7:27] There are anything for committees.
[7:32] Like, a rinks ready to go for, for ice,
[7:39] tentatively looking at the weather coming up,
[7:43] behind shooting for right after Thanksgiving dinner,
[7:47] starting to stop some ice down that night,
[7:49] so hopefully the temperatures don't rebound too much.
[7:53] during the day, but 20s and lower at night should be good for a start, and the only one that will be doing it, just trying to pump up there.
[8:05] I don't, he had been talking about the fire department at one point in time, too, about possibly dividing that base coat.
[8:12] I don't know if that's the thing or not, but as of now, he's pining on flooding, so.
[8:22] The facility-wise, they got the Great Landed, and I think Brian's got it to have full already, so that's raised utilize that.
[8:37] All righty.
[8:39] Mike, what were you saying about the Gator, something of the park there?
[8:44] Well, we had both the sweeper, unit that we bought and the blower.
[8:48] They both use the same undercarriage connection, the order the strong one, or the crush that came in,
[8:59] but the correct one is coming with the other unit when that gets here with the blower.
[9:05] And we don't want to do them because they're like $700 per night assembly, so we're just going to have to open that and hopefully that one's early too.
[9:14] Anything else on the 12th or something, I heard that?
[9:18] This was a lower question, sorry, and so on, okay.
[9:21] Thank you.
[9:23] All right, and in addition to facilities equipment is that
[9:29] a denim that Lisa handed out six G-3.
[9:37] The truck has been delivered to pro-blast to have the truck
[9:41] that and wheels sandblasted, primed and painted.
[9:44] And there was a suggestion made to have the frame done while the other work was being done.
[9:52] So that, essentially, is that the same material as first like a bed liner material?
[9:59] Or are we just talking primed and painted?
[10:02] I believe in primed painting.
[10:04] Okay.
[10:07] I think any of this is bed liner.
[10:12] Okay.
[10:12] Yeah, nothing here on the truck bed, but I would say that if we have some issues with that frame that
[10:29] we should actually get that done, I think going to get any better.
[10:33] That would be my recommendation, it's the box is off.
[10:39] About 100 bucks.
[10:40] Yeah.
[10:41] That's a better video than that.
[10:43] They would charge us that just to remove the box again.
[10:46] Yeah.
[10:47] Well, why don't we,
[10:50] We need a motion.
[10:51] Yeah, we do want to make motion.
[10:54] Well, second.
[10:56] All right.
[10:56] Those in favor, please say aye.
[10:58] Aye.
[10:58] Those opposed.
[11:01] Motion is approved.
[11:02] to have the frame on the F350 done as well for a sandblasting priming and painting.
[11:10] Money will spend.
[11:11] It certainly is.
[11:13] Wonderful.
[11:14] Thank you, Lisa.
[11:17] I think that does conclude section six, seven.
[11:25] We'll business the engineering services proposal.
[11:28] That's from November 6.
[11:38] We want to go over there.
[11:48] Okay.
[11:49] all right well yeah I haven't have you okay so I'm the odd man out again
[12:10] what are your feelings on the proposal as I didn't get to least the
[12:16] Today when I didn't know whether or not I would make it just stay with that CH. Yeah, that's my vibe. I guess I kind of felt that all along truth be told
[12:28] But you know just we have a good familiarity
[12:32] With Jason. I've always found it to be helpful and his group on the back end. I'm about you guys
[12:42] We had one of them that was what 50 bucks less an hour. Yes
[12:48] I mean, I guess looking at cost-wise, what would that save us going to, you know, new forum?
[12:57] I know you're bringing in new people and, you know, starting from scratch, type thing, but...
[13:04] Well, sometimes that when you are starting from scratch, it can end up costing more, as far as
[13:11] coming familiar with. Initially, yes. The other thing too is that there are those occasions
[13:21] where, you know, this is a bit situation. And sometimes, bids get, you know, dropped in order
[13:28] to secure business and then such a point bids become more reasonable. I don't know.
[13:38] I guess
[13:39] that's just my humble opinion that, you know,
[13:42] beds are one thing, rail is another.
[13:48] And forget it, you know,
[13:50] I would be in agreement that I think what you're,
[13:55] what I've ever looked like,
[13:57] maybe a cost sentence may and reality
[13:59] turn out not to be, because here we have,
[14:04] might again, my opinion, the name broke, don't fix it.
[14:07] We've got the establishment relationship. Everybody knows what's going on with everything and anything pops up
[14:14] It's not a crisis situation
[14:17] Get somebody new in and all of a sudden that $50 dollars an hour could
[14:22] You know could have been money wall spent by staying with what we currently have and and again. That's just my opinion
[14:30] Put your phones
[14:33] We're looking at it a little bit wrong.
[14:38] Our cost per hour really isn't going to be a mitigating factor,
[14:45] especially for the next year.
[14:49] I mean, in all likelihood, we have no major projects coming up next year, right?
[14:53] So we're looking at sub $10,000 line item on our thing.
[14:58] As far as continuity.
[15:00] I agree with what you guys are saying as you each has been our step fast.
[15:07] Yeah, they've been left for a long, long time, I guess.
[15:12] But two things that I'm kind of looking at here
[15:17] is local, right, that's where this bolt in and make their internal. So I have another internal option, I'm big on doing business local.
[15:30] But I guess the big thing and what we've been running into a lot these past couple of years is funding grants support that financial aspect of these projects that we don't have the experience on.
[15:47] rely on our partners in order to provide,
[15:53] I guess I would challenge console to take a re-look
[15:58] at, you know, these outfits with that aspect in mind and not so much what are we paying,
[16:06] but what can they possibly brain services, tables, as far as helping us, where's the nicer pants
[16:15] and we can afford otherwise, if that makes sense.
[16:19] We don't need to make this decision until the urbanization meeting, but if we wanted to bring
[16:24] somebody in to, I guess, give us a further review of their services, I guess, and they would
[16:32] all probably jump at that shop, so again, I lean like you guys do towards that solution, continuity,
[16:42] But, like I said, I think we got to look at that bigger picture too, so I was just
[16:49] what we're paying, but what they can bring in financially, and there's, I was, there's
[16:54] some high openers in there, so.
[16:57] Well, certainly, SEH doesn't provide,
[17:03] and I think last time we did take a look at that organization,
[17:06] And they didn't have a local office here, right?
[17:13] So certainly, there's going to be a few, but yeah.
[17:17] I mean, we're certainly not married to TSEH.
[17:24] And if you guys feel that way, what have you and I, take a second
[17:31] harder note.
[17:32] I think it's the excellent idea, maybe add them all, give us the presentation.
[17:39] It would be nice to have for a refresher.
[17:41] Because you're going to read the perspective of the long side, the same thing.
[17:46] It's that in the person.
[17:47] It's going to be responsible to come in and say, oh, I don't know if it's Jason or I think
[17:51] of potential counterpart or whatever.
[17:53] Here's what we'll offer.
[17:54] Here's what we're going to do to the table.
[17:56] Excellent idea, Mike.
[17:57] Yeah.
[17:58] At least a top three, we need to look at everybody, but maybe put an emphasis on what they've done and what kind of grant money they've brought in for specifics.
[18:14] Well, if actually, you know what that's a great idea. Maybe what we could do is when we asked them to come in is weighted to the what they provide that SEH does affect.
[18:28] So that way we've got it, but yeah, that's a great idea.
[18:31] I'm a comparison and I guess I'd realize that we only need to bring two in.
[18:35] I mean, we need to work with what we have with SEH, so it's two other options.
[18:41] Maybe that, so if council wants to maybe just drop a note to me,
[18:45] so I guess on your top two alternatives.
[18:49] That's your discretion.
[18:51] All right, we'll do.
[18:54] Yeah, that's a great idea.
[18:57] So be it.
[19:06] Okay, so we got that. And then item eight, we did add, assist the removal application for the liquor license for bottles and brews. So I think we need a motion.
[19:25] I'll move. I'll side down. Those are driver. I think those are posed.
[19:32] Right models and grooves has been approved again for a life in
[19:44] Tony's not here.
[19:47] Who wants to take the mantle for item nine?
[19:52] I hear the surrogate. I can't do it.
[19:56] Yeah, but he's a member in our heart
[20:04] adjourned at 6.19 p.m.
[20:08] No second.
[20:09] Those in favor please say aye.
[20:11] Aye.
[20:12] Those opposed.
[20:14] All right.
[20:15] Ocean is approved.
[20:17] We are officially adjourned.
[20:19] Thank you very much.
