for
e e
so hearing discussion regarding general
service and that comprise of Street snow
and ice Property Management Facility
parts and pools waste collection
disposal and recycle water so
engineering and capital
budget we'll start with um engineering
um this
[Music]
evening we got Mr whole evening last
yesterday so we'll go to page um 10 10
and 11
[Music]
I got to use my old my not all right
we're first going to work with at Public
Works
a1140 Public Works admin increased by
2.44% very marginal increase
engineering Construction and design
a441 engineering construction design
increased by
35.8% that's mostly to a removal of
[Music]
a this also comprise page 12 also 10 11
and 12 typ of 12
[Music]
[Applause]
any question for Mr w
[Music]
just his overview yeah yeah so um you
just want to give us a highlight what's
happening in Department anything we need
to know to
cap the biggest thing that we're waiting
on is we just got the list for an
ips3 um we had an ips3 last year and uh
for only matter of months it was really
nice to have the ips4 with the ips3 um
the ips3
uh ended up taking an internal promotion
um which was great for her but then when
she was promoted we had the vacancy and
the test came out test came out in March
we was waiting and we just got the list
a couple weeks ago so we're working with
um K and MaryAnn on what the list is
eligible for and working on that that's
the big that would be the big get if we
could actually replace and fill that
because as a lot of you know a lot of
the work that we do because of the
grants and contracts is just paperwork
so there is a lot of paperwork that goes
into doing all these projects so having
that ips3 uh in engineering would be
great um otherwise everything is pretty
much status quo we have maintenance
contracts in here so we pay for the bike
share and some of the other smaller
contracts sign rental on 890 things like
that come out here so that's all status
and then
um fees for service line that's how I
pay for engineering consultants for
smaller projects ms4 work things like
that so that's why that should remain
because that's a un necessary thing
especially now that there's new ms4
requirements that are pretty stringent
so and then the only other thing is the
on my budget it's blue right it's not
going to be blue it's not blue anymore so that was that
was just something that I wanted to make
sure it was
clear the the position is still there
it's just the funding is not from from
the blue corre correct from
our go ahead please the ips3 um where
which um does it go under um Public
Works admin or engineer it's not on here
at all it's a1440
100 oh okay it's in here yes oh
[Music]
okay any other
questions see none we'll go into capital
[Music]
so Capital this year um could go from
top to bottom first one we had is the uh
small Harbor Docks the large vessel
docks um we've identified a gap in the
funding given that the CFA grants that
we had were essentially preo everything
from preo has increased in price um and
so there's a lot of compens to that and
the docks are quite large uh compared to
other things in the area so this is
a I'm sorry this this is uh funding to
uh to make up that Gap um try to make
sure that maybe the title Anthony one of
the things I just want to make sure with
the title for it is that flexible um
just because if we if we don't use all
of that 750 I would hate to have have to
buy another dock or something I know how
we do something where it's you know
infrastructure or something that
change yeah I I just we we an older way
that we used to haveen is that when we
used to bond money for streets we would
Bond it with the street name and then we
were kind of stuck in having that street
with that money even though we had needs
in other areas so we're just trying if
you know this is worst case scenario if
we you know if it comes in at 500
$400,000 paid to have a balance sitting
in a capital code that says docks
because we don't have docks
um Street improvements this is a little
bit higher than normal um but the reason
that we're doing this is because this is
I'm hoping to have a flexible fund next
year we have several very large projects
happening and I really need some
flexibility when it comes to financing
next year we're starting our Craig
Street project we are starting our
Franklin Street project we're also
hoping to start our J Street connector
which is our project connect City Hall
to m Harbor um specifically the J
conector Project um we would need bonded
money to pay for our share of that which
is to be determined um since it isn't an
existing Road it's hard to use other
forms that we typically do because it's
a brand new street so that's why usually
this is
1.5 uh I asked I'm asking to make it
2.5 um the tennis courts that we see
here um this is to not renovate but
replace um the upper eight tennis courts
with nine new pre-cast concrete
pretention concrete tennis courts um we
have a verbal agreement with the USA
that if we make this investment of $2
million they will contribute an
additional million wow so that is a a
verbal agreement that we have in place
with them if we're going to move forward
with this and then the general facility
improvements um some of these are are
smaller but they add up which is we
really have been talking with the fire
department about removing all their
carpet um we no longer want carpet in
areas like a fire department it's just
uh traps for bacteria and things like
that they're coming in and out of the so
we really want clean uh disinfectable
surfaces in those areas um the chief uh
approach me about generators at stations
3 and four stations 3 and four do not
have generators and we did replace their
doors with uh new uh doors and the issue
with the doors just getting is you might
see a door that has a chain and the door
goes up the new style door because they
go up is a screw and it it takes a
little while so to manually open that
door you're literally turning a screw on
and so they really would like to see
generators at the stations uh I thought
that was a good request um PD building
control upgrades that is literally a
computer system just to try to get that
system by we use a seen control Network
it hasn't been updated I don't think
since
1992 um and it's on a computer that I
can't believe still works the computer
is very old and we're going to have to
update that so that we can able to run
the building systems and then uh lastly
kind of related to that I'm asking for
some money to start to design the
replacement of the HVAC system at the
police station we're anticipating that
this could be upwards of $6 million
project to replace the hbac system in
the building um right now a part of last
year's Capital we're looking at
upgrading the electrical services um so
if you were to go into the basement we
have all of our panels uh for the SPD
electrical the panels are no longer
serviceable so if anything breaks on one
panel we try to replace it with pieces
of another panel and move things around
because the panels are original to the
building so this coming year we're
looking to replace all those panels with
Mod switch gear so that we have the
ability to upgrade and then we're going
to study the replacement of the hdac
system um when I have those costs you
know we can talk about it um you know
I'm sure that the police chief would
more than welcome a new station but this
is what we have to decide on is because
um that station you know it doesn't have
operable Windows everybody's seeing the
station is a very interesting uh thedes
and Schmid design simil more to the
library um and we just have to we have
to upgrade and when we do that we have
to bring things to code and the building
certain things are not to code right now
which is uh the boiler the chiller the
air every single component in that
building is a one giant room code would
not allow you do that you can't have
combustible air and cooling air and
filtered air all the same room so if we
bring this up as part of the cost if we
have to actually split the mechanical
room and start putting fresh air in
certain areas for it so that's part of
that design uh last on here is the
hearing room we budgeted some money for
it last year however you know our
estimates are are higher for that this
would give us approximately $1.5 million
to put towards the hearing room which is
also at the police station um part of
this will be um funded this project will
be funded by the
courts anything that we improve within
the existing courts footprint the courts
will pay however this is an expansion uh
we'll be taking over some holding cells
and some office space and doing some
Renovations so that expansion um is not
paid for once it is expanded and they
have uh under their lease agreement that
new square footage that any improvements
then going forward would be under uh
their expenses to pay for so I'm I'm
anticipating that um they're going to
have it's probably going to be like a 66
City 33 um State split but I don't have
those numbers now we're still working I
just had a meeting today with the chief
uh and our architect we're going going
to the sheriff's department and then the
corrections office just to make sure
everything has to be signed off before
we move forward with any kind of
big question so you go ahead talking
about the Court's
lease so if when this renovation happens
and obviously that lease would be
Revisited I imagine right yeah well the
lease would be Revisited but really the
only thing that would changed as far as
I is that we they pay us per square
footage of use okay um
yeah so every time they take a little
bit of space from City Hall over the
police station we make sure that we
account for that in our lease because
they pay us for the maintenance and
utilities and things like that based off
of equations that they have so right now
they aren't leasing the space but once
they do take it you another approxim
let's say, 1500 square ft then that,
1500 ft will go onto the lease and
they'll start to pay us for the use of
that space the the other benefit that
this project will have is what we're
hoping is right now if you go into the
police station it feels like it's courts
um and the police and the courts are
like this and just because we're all you
know one big happy family we're all
getting along with that but really it's
easier for us easier for the police if
we separate it so one of the things that
this would do is uh the police station
has these four doors when you enter and
it would split two and two now so that
if you wanted to go to the police you
would go to the right if you wanted to
go to the courts you'd go to the left
and then you would have uh barrier in
between so that they're not so mixed up
and I think that would
help go ahead please um Mr did we um
have in the ARA bu did we have money for
H was it for the SPD no no for here we
had it for here for here yes and we are
doing that project that was already a
work thank you yep we we had some money
for tennis court we did we had 500 still
we still do yes any other
questions goe please on the uh courts
the uh Mr wall is outline with the oca's
position is I don't share that uh
position the
cells uh they say that they're only
there for the police department we don't
need them all the time sometimes they're
there to hold uh individuals Court
appearances and that that in fact should
be treated as Court space which would
shift the reimbursement
formula so that's a point of contention
that's there how much uh
OCA uh would contribute to this and
again some of this it's been a long
standing uh concern of mind the inness
and inefficiency within the courts
where we shouldn't be doing any of this
work they should be running the Night
Court which would allow utilization of
space uh double the capacity and keep it
at a single cost uh they take some
conduted theory on that that they can't
work at night uh it's just
foolish
so were these numbers I think Mr Wall's
outline are fair representations that
they're still subject to
negotiation and possible litigation
and on the other thing upgrad to the
tennis courts we've done music C and
done the A and and stuff the tennis
courts kind the swimming pool uh Council
has on the books a fee structure for
using the tennis courts you'll basically
play for free there now uh there's
utilization by Muna Muna School District
that we have to tighten up and part of
this budget is put in place
a fee
structure that uh again will be fair and
we want to you know do these upgrades
have the resources there and it's no
different in the golf course you want
you'll be able to use the golf course
but you have to pay for
it go ahead so with that would that
include a staff person that we would
have to um that would be in charge of
the collecting the fees and maybe for
the pool at the same time I don't know
that might be a lot for one
person that's a scenario there might be
some automated systems or you buy uh
seasonal pass and something that would
scan it validate it uh be able to verify
[Music]
it any other question from are we
missing anything Capt everything St
questions thank you so much ship all
your team good
work team
[Music]
13 so we'll start on page 13 and just
flow
through page 13 and we'll go down in
order 14 start at 14
no all right all yours we'll do one um
time Property Management
a621 marginal increase of 1.11% I know I don't have a lot to
explain I think yeah you're
not other than you know you have you had
question on 1621 404 what's included in
that line dat so much lower than
anticipated um we do to pre removal
custom control removal abandoned
vehicles some of the tree um you bit out
have not been received yet those you
know those um bill are still out there
so there is some those that come in
later in the year um we do more more
trees but that's what we that is what's
in that line um Pest Control Pest
Control now we are um invoicing the
property for
reimbursement um because in the past
that was just a strict strictly a cost
to the city um and now we are doing um
reimbursements to the property owner um
for the treat of whether it's whatever
are thank
you so since we here we talk about the
snap crew up going to places that in
violation of that cutting grasses like
that are we um I know we in the past we
charged a minimum fee are you looking to
kind of up that charge the actual fee we
charge the actual time and material so
the hours of the employee that's there
and equipment that's on site and then
anything that is disposed of with a
weight ticket for the transfer station
or if it's got to go to the county so um
we don't have a flat rate we charge
based on TN okay perect
thankes go ahead please I'd like to step
back to the question on uh 82 81621 404
uh right at 75,000 right now we're about
almost about 15 145 so you're
anticipating we're going to get 75 I
don't know we're all we to 75 our trees
go up to bid as people call in break
complaints for trees we use two lines we
use some of the park money we use some
of the money depending on where the tree
is we do have an agreement now with we
have agre with na grid so some of the
trees involve power lines or F lines
they've been taking them down all we do
is clean up um and the other thing is um
we do have a a very good um experienced
senior tree trimmer now so we are doing
more in heal
way more than we did before so
um and he is the gentleman that would
hopefully will pass this exam think the
end of this month beginning November 4th
and our so so we are seeing the savings
there thank
you any other question on for the
section see now will move to a facility
building and maintenance page 15 facil
81622 fail is increased by 8.67% and
that's uh mostly due to the repair
line I'm sorry the what line repairs oh
thank
you that's I just talking to our C
engineer about he pulled somebody out for Capital do some repairs
this year but between all the repairs
between City Hall Bure service police
supp stations um you know in discussions
with Chris and how U we feel there's a
lot of repairs that these facilities and
200,000 you know $1,000 is is going to
be need for
25 now you know our our goal is not just
to repair stuff but also maintain it
right so you know we're buying
purchasing through the that through that
line
and the build request I just brought
forward Monday night for the glycol
system that's getting pull out of
capital walking right now through um
facility that was $9,000 that's one
repair at the police station it's
$90,000 Bureau I'm
sorry so they for the bureau City Hall
and what else did you say everything
fire stations All City own buildings
okay okay I'll just put down City own
building okay thank
[Music]
you any other question for this
section if not we'll move
[Music]
to page
5 service
Administration service Administration uh
increased by
[Music]
6.61% there is no questions on this want
any
[Music]
questions just give a statement go ahead
please the statement on line 850
Z
$3,000 all the way to the bottom last
page
35
Street That's Mike that's my street
supervisor That's
Mike just avoid calling me
please for the sake of the public and
you know people name out there we ask
respectfully as so we do not mention
names thank you other question go please
85 010141 the uniform and school
allowance 750 what does that cover what
the number please uh
5010 141 on top page
36 on the New budget or the old budget
I'm I'm so I'm going by the one I had
that marked up okay that's what I'm
doing too
okay those are the safety shoes that are
required contractually the same he said
three PA 250 or 250 P so this is just
for three people yeah but everyone gets
Bo everybody different items everybody yes all our all our play saf
shoes so they get allowance just to be
clear they get allowance but they don't
always necessarily buy because sometimes
I see them as neighbors oh I don't
personally take them to the store but
maybe we should give him a card that can
use at the store um no but I mean really
in terms of safety Sometimes using
wearing sneakers and things is just not
they for what they're doing out there I
won't I don't disagree with you and just
follow should we make them mandatory
that they should
[Music]
have it is it's in their contract that
they are required to get them safety
boots and if you're paying for safety
boots as their employ
we would expect them to wear the safy
boosts to avoid any
accidents and you know it's it's a daily thing your safety boots on and
then starting to send people home to go
get their safety boots and delaying the
whole work day but yes I'm not going to
disagree when it comes to safety they
should have their safety boots
onely yes and it's not just cuz I I know
when we look at it I see think most
people we see with their sneakers are
know where call division but this rule
has to be um you know enforced all the
way across the board from the water
wells the wastewater treatment plant to
water sewer streets snap
Parks if you get a boot of
Ls you should have a pair of boots on
yes agree something we can work
on thank
you um I have a question about the the
stien for the street supervisor uh we
had a discussion last evening about a
stien for the city clerk um who who we
put that stien up under her salary as a
line up under it the clerk's salary as a
line what's the difference here the
$5,000 so why does the sement
stay there's other sement too within the
contract I don't know these St have been
there it's not the same it's different
because uh being the
registar is as we defin with the law is
a salary and not part of the typ and
that's the difference now the S is for
uh is being register and the typen like
for this position or the other positions
are you know working at night uh taking
phone calls coming in in the evenings
work in the evenings that's what s this
before right I thought that's what the
stien for the city clerk was because
they were we
for being a reg which
is separate title correct yeah and Main
m m you have that on paper so can I
highlight is can you share that with the
council please any other question for
Street
Maintenance if not we'll move to
um mechanical equipment
garage p37
[Music]
5132 yes you want to skip skip yeah yeah
we didn't do
street we did have those CH
85110 increased by
2% U if you look at the interior theary
uh increas uh approximately
50,000 and this was the last night where
the AR line the amount changed you see
that you see the new
one so there are two two uh being funded
by
correct
yes any question but that had to drop
down that was the
right
correct so come down
13152 yes that's correct there
than any question on the section if not
we'll V to page 37
[Music]
garage mechanical equipment garage
increased by 1.4%
you want to highlight this no I mean
there just minor increases I me if you
look in the um in the uh motor vehicle
repair line the 5152
462 you know um from 23 it dropped from
a million mil 71,000 to 990 stay St just
higher ticket items um repair parts are
coming up a little bit there 15,000
added for parts just to the this parts
for vehicles are getting more and more
expensive and there just 15 ,000 jump in
few
anticipating going up it's not you know
not a big
Jump part my heads myself first one
spent a lot of time going through these
budgets to make them as tight as we can
as accurate as we
can that's my go ahead please U so is
this the where we last year we had the
discussion about the mechanic that we
add just where this is yes who this
individual is is here is um so a513
2121 the Master Mechanic is that no he
is
[Music]
the he's mechanic
one motor equipment oper
mechanic
P was
hir months months ago so he didn't get
hired not like at the beginning of the
year no no we didn't find one at the
beginning of the year um he was hired
when about two and a half months ago
maybe three months ago he was
hired so we had to get a lift also I beg
you pardon we had to get a lift for the
gentleman to work with that was in last
year's budget also so was ordered was in
so he he is working he just getting a
feel for things and then eventually he
will move to an off shift but our our shift will be changing in a little
more than a month because we normally
break our shifts um usually the first
Monday of December is when we go to the winter
schedule after that he will be trained
well enough where he will work on the
second shift um but we're getting a lot
more ACC with him a lot more of the what
we'll call basic maintenance oil changes
Tire Replacements um lights uh and this
is what we needed somebody for to do
some of the just a normal regular
maintenance items on the trucks so we're
not sending them out pardon so we're not
sending them out as these little things
it's another it's another body in the
shop it's getting done to get the trucks
back on the road
quicker and then go to the night shift
correct and so the first seven months of
the year we just that money we really
recapture goes back to the we money in
the budget we didn't spend it it's it's
in the salary line it's still there okay
thank you go ahead please uh the city is
definitely taking uh
measures with purchasing more EV
vehicles have you noticed any negative
effects of Maintenance or have those
costs the EV vles we have right now are
fairly new the where we see a little bit
of a delay is in the older um Chevy Vols they juston that so parts are
not as regularly available so um we
don't we don't work on electric vehicles
we just not qualify to work so the
electric Fels do have to go out to the dealerships so uh and we're at
Comm Mery the availability parts so you
know the parts not available you
unfortunately the vehicle will sit there
so the newer Vehicles we are not seeing
the bolts and you know these vehicle are
older you know BTS if they just they
don't produce no more MH thank you
they've also just discontinued the bolt
after we
invested the B's gone the Bolt's
gone go ahead just correct me from WR
but wasn't there some Federal grant
money around our EV Vehicles purchased
or
no there's grant money we have purchased
under grants right with grants or
subsidized
rebates 26,000 there is some money for
large larger
Vehicles
there any other question for
garage if not we'll move to page 39 snow
and
ice snow and ice
85142 Red by 13.92% from 1, 85,000
approximately to
934 I'm sorry was what was the decrease
percent I'm sorry 13.92% thank
you questions any you want to talk about highlight oh
just the you know the two still a
smaller budget but the two two biggest
reductions were the um fees for services
and the um Road materials um based on
what we spent this year for Road
materials and what we have for salt in
the um salt shed right now we're
confident that we'll get through 25 with
what we have in the budget in 934 500
and these are service covers uh are
private contractors personal f um the
loaders that are have vs of their
own and that's all that's it we do have
the same rate but that's we have they we
kept the rate the same as last year and
yes okay good perfect any other go ahead
please just out of curiosity how many do
we have like private we had any 21 every storm or a certain amount of
storm they they they're there on site
they're brought in um different parts of
the City
View the North End um so the equipment
is already there ready so when they're
called for General P great those drivers
come in we don't have to wait for them
to get the here because takes hours
sometimes these are not machines you're
just going to bring quickly so these
machines are sitting in different places
within the city and the routes are
already established with the contractors
so they know where they have to go they
give them their machines they fuel them
we don't provide fuel or anything um and
they do their wants thank
you go ahead do do you think that the
250 is going to be enough I know that
the year to date I feel like the year to
date when I like 239 I know no snow I
would love no snow I mean it's you know
it's a guess with the weather yeah I
mean the one year um we all know what
happened when we had the 30 some Ines we
spent that LST was million do we can't
anticipate and just budget because we
think something may come um you know if
uh we have a year like we did last year
we should be fine yeah
okay there's two aspects of it one is
big storms or a lot of little storms we
have 4 in 4 in 5
in you got to mobilize
everything and our bigger storms we
involve we do have to go out is you we
have the loaders that pushing the snow
we have a storm like we did you know a
few years ago now we have to go in snow
removal so now we're hiring dump trucks
to on top of it the hall snow and then
that's when you know um you know they're
running 24 hours to get the streets
cleared because there's no way to push
the snow another snor St comes in so
it's not just for the loaders you know
it's everything else running around the
clock and our guys usually run around
the clock
and at the same time on the same subject
uh complian is is Big where you have
like the onesie TWY cars that are
blocking the plows from being efficient
has that been an issue that you've
noticed or have residents been
responsive to efforts of like
no I've been around for 45 years I
started in the street in
1979 there a lot of different falling
snow back there we didn't have a 10
wheeler dump truck we had six whe dump
trucks we didn't have Wing blades okay
um but there was a lot less cars park
people nowadays every family member in
the family has car nobody uses the
driveway because when somebody wants to
get out he looks outside or she looks
out says I got to move five cars to get
mine out so everybody leaves the
driveway open it parks on the street it
makes it very difficult for our plows to
get down these streets and maneuver
around cars it's it's not going to
change it's sows we're going to get
complaints um it's just the nature of
the
Beast well Paul I have to say since we
since this was
implemented we have seen a lot of less
complaint about snow on the straight vle
them out their equipments are out and
they know maneu the straight taking care
of the snow so I would say that you know
it's working and we just want to make
sure we maintain that line so that we
have this available whenever it happens
we started our contractors a little
earlier now General P sometimes we wait
because it's a time where we think we
can keep ahead of the storm and then
sneak up on you and next thing you know
you're behind it so we get the private
contact a little earlier now and start
getting streets
clean it's a lot of coordinated effort
with the police department getting them
out in front of us and and notifying
when they don't they're starting to tell
and they and they've been very good
working with Mike um coordinating the
priority streets because priority street
is a priority street because there's a
reason and those are the streets that we
have to have the cars off and you know
it's obviously where the police
department starts and they notify us so
we get the plows up there as soon as
possible and
clear good job on that yeah any other
question all right seeing none we'll
move to
page 40 and as on Parts
maintenance Parts
Main inre by margin
[Music]
2.18% maintenance pars maintenance
you know most of it is in salary it's
and benefits um but you know if you look
even fees for services in the Parks has
come down a little bit $10,000 there are
no single big items um you know other
than you look at overtime we anticipate
snow the parks take care of their own
parks and certain seity which are the
island streets off Eastern um obviously
you look at increases in t that
increases a time and a half and double
time and it's overtime so overtime
follows accordingly
questions go ahead please um and this
has been a question throughout the
process the blue highlighted blue is
parer money and then on this budget the
um director of parts and W is paid out
of that which we know we
just High um so um after many quite a
while saving that short per had someone
else what's the thought process in terms
of moving forward
to to be able to keep this individual uh
I think the director parks and
reparation is an important or critical
person keeping the parks we've run for
years without think the last long
standing PR Parts was the I think he's
been gone for 20 years I don't know he's
been gone a long time um we've limp a
along but when you limp along it creates
problems too some of the more important
things you want to look at with the
parks okay we just have somebody that's
just dedicated to do that now with the
park structor in place we have somebody
who's dedicated somebody who's actually
familiar with the parks and City
operations so um it will be an asset to
the city moving forward um funding that
now and then removing it later just
going you know we're going to go
backwards it's one step forward two
steps backwards so um I think it's Pro
upon the Council next budget cycle if
it's in there to keep it definitely
that's that wasn't my question whether
way should keep it or not just wondering
about how we think about making sure
that it is there because right now it's
out of arer funds which won't be there
next
year generate more money from the
tennis baseball I mean there are some
fees that are set within the parks and
we look at increasing fees in building a
codes at times it may be time that we
have to look at increasing some of the
fee structures that are people are using
their Parks from everything from the
Rose Garden to The Pavilions everything
I
mean we have our needs and if our needs
are important we have to find a way
to pay for those
[Music]
needs thank you it's a very important
position and it's funded by arook we
fortunate that it was funded by arook
for the last couple years we'll have to
absorb it into the general budget
I mean this is one of them but once we
make the investment that we made in our
Parks it would just be it would be crazy
not to have that position operating
exactly and they par getting better oh um the senior tree trimmer and
the tree trimmer is after new gentleman
who's going to take us which one senior
the senior tree trimmer is the is the
gentleman who was going to be taking his
um arborous exam in fact we just got
some equipment form downstairs very
qualified very experienced um he does a
great job he's he's saving us
[Music]
money um I know that the new parks
director is you know putting together
lists of equipment park by Park uh
things that we need swing swing
replacement um wood chips etc etc um I
I'm concerned about the 25 I um for for
equipment that we might need more money
than that but I'm hoping we can figure
that out but we just got a fairly amount
of equipment
for should be good fors through the
um
Foundation um but a lot of this what um
Mr M is doing is um he's looking at um
the repair things the swings that get
broken during summer the you
know tiers the basic maintenance so we
have all
the play and then obviously start to
develop where we want to go the part in
the
future I'm I'm excited about it I think
that you know it's going to be pretty
planned out and and it's
great any other question Parks
maintenance say none we'll move to um
pools
maintenance which part you want
oh full maintenance a
7115 increased by
22.4% uh this the request of security
staff and meance workers for the uh
new would you like explanation please go
ahead stuff no
I I think we know
it um and and new pool it's a beautiful
pool um it's a complicated pool it's not
what we're used to in Central Park um
the fter
system um because it's new techn it's
today's technology not what we have
water running in it and then overflowing
at the other end um so the requirements
to the health department on ph forine
and different things is a lot more
strict um when they come in and monitor
the pool check the pool and they come in
regularly um so the chemical usage is
different there um you know so staff she
you know help with the monitoring of
that pool right now we're using staff
certified from the Wast to do Chemical
Testing there's it's different the old
Central Park have no filter system so
the cost to operate the filter is a
little bit more and obviously the
security is um it's based on what we
went through in the first year we're
and people are entering the pool at
night um
so L of hands quickly lot of hands just
quick so our last with the last pool we
were essentially emptying and refilling
like every day right like in nor really
what it was there was constant stream of
frh water rning okay okay sometimes you
would have to empty it though with I
mean and the other thing
we all know the problem with the geese
so yes we did have to empty the pool
clean the pool and then refill the pool
and you know clean the deck you know
around constantly because of issues with
the heat
yes and the heating
fuel for the pool for the pool the
heating fuel is for everything there's
the the original building where um all
the servers are um the Central Park
building used to be the office is
there yeah yeah that building was heated
it's the building not no we don't heat
the pool
[Music]
wi there's no heat in the pool or
buildings it's it's for the the
administrative building
is go ahead um yes I wanted to um ask um
in terms of pill first um didn't know if
there was any thought about um whether
we could put a splash pad instead of the
pool uh so that's one question I have um
or just wanted to bring that up and if
so how much would that cost I think
around 75 but I'm but I'm not sure
and could be
considerably Les less expensive than
tring rep the that's we got on the pool
I I think it was three years ago we had
a report on it that was about
$500,000 um since then the pool
everything um all the controls the El
that's in the pit next to the P shot um
the whole pool would have to come out
you'd have to go whole
pooling Million by the time you all the
anything a decision
that director car will maybe next year
budget for you 26 for a
uh it's only
26 with that said there's some there was
AR money that was um dedicated to
Hillhurst and Mr fer is looking up now
to see if there's any remaining and I
was I'm not sure Mr if that's really um
what that that what been what supposed
to be used for
thatle so he said there's 200,000 that's
pickle ball is not paid for yet no the
pickle ball is I'm assuming it's paid
through engineer I'm assuming that's all
been paid talking about the
there's money set aside just for
repair it's just not enough no near
enough we I think there was talks put
the dog park right or
something the dog there was um talk
about a dog park and there was also
something to do with the basketball
courts up at Hillhurst it was all whole
all part of one plan um that we had
worked on um with residents from that
area um and it also we talked a little
bit about fair but I think the Fairview
stuff happened but the big thing were
the pickle ball courts um but yeah the
dog park the um and what did I say the
basketball court um were something there
but maybe some of that 200,000 couldi
courts going into Fair can't remember
what what was with fa two yeah Pi balls are hit yeah the the
basketball courts being made over to a
dog park cut Center section out M yep so the money that's left is going to
cover all that there's no room there's
no uh funding left for considering a
splash pad well unless you divert what
you have towards a splash pad and then
you know see what the total cost of The
Flash p is you know but there might be
some sits finished up
so it's only go ahead um so the other
questions I have um well I just wanted
to say that the health and Recreation
committee um did meet um to discuss
possible fees and pull rules um I think
you you attended that meeting Mr Leon
thank you um and so we did come up with
some ideas we never moved it forward or
voted on anything but we can continue to
have that you know discussion to try to
generate some Revenue um what we had
talked about was non residents um having
to pay fees for the pool but we haven't even brought that forward yet
but um um it might give us you know some
additional Revenue but my other question
is so have we thought at all about the
old pool at Central Park and what we
would do with that I mean I know there's
been a lot of ideas tossed around um but
when would we take care of that well
really depends on um green
[Music]
spaceace some people have asked for back
ice skating the small one it wouldn't
take up the whole pool area
some ask you for um was it the
volleyball there's no volleyball the
sand area where one in is volleyball
there's a number of people who you know
sort of comment on a couple things that
would be nice there but again solid plan
um me particular I think back when I was
young and used to ice gate at Central
Park yeah and um you know if you did
something there you could control the
depth where you don't have to worry
about you know having red FL up all time
it's just not safe you know you make it
12 in deep you don't have to worry about
you know somebody falling in and going
under the ice um so there's a number of
things it's you I think um this
winter B for
a parks
and and see if we come up this what's
the best use for that
area go ahead well uh I do remember the
woman that came forward that
wanted hles where are we with that
because it's going to be next year
pretty soon I'm sorry want
it to back from
her
looking to her yeah we did at the
address that she indicated that she
could be reached at not heard back so
that's as a follow and if there's
anything more I'll bring it to the
council's attention I get from okay I
just want to make sure because last time
was like I did this for since 2022 and
here I am again and nobody's helping me
so just want to make sure that we get
our good
those Paul since pool and the Central
Park Pool the new pool what is your
takeway from the usage this year what
would you if anything change for next
year what would
you change and usage
um we we based the usage on what we
thought was the safe number that the
um boys and girls can handle um and it
was 450 and that pool was maxed out for
it was hot summer so it was maxed out
all the time um and you
know it was the first year whether it
was the novelty of it and next year
we'll see you know what happens but you
know I there's nothing I would do
differently in that po uh with regards
to other than possibly you know trying
to extend hours because people really
enjoy the pool I mean obviously when
it's h people enjoy it but that would be
something we'd have to work out
contraction with um you know the
contractor who's going to you know do
the life regarding and stuff for us but
um it's a short season and we get eight
to nine weeks out of it um and then
unfortunately most of the staff that's
working goes back to school whether it's
college or high school so you know it
doesn't last much longer you know but
maybe hours and there was a lot of
activity very early in the morning for
the lap pool um it was amazing even if
it was raining as long as there wasn't
thunder lightning they were using a la
pool even in the rain so um it was a
great
success um I don't think it was a
novelty I think I think it's just a huge
asset to our city i' see kids walking
all over the city with towels seriously
to and from it was really beautiful I
liked it uh my question is
um uh uh security staff so I I thought
Chief Clifford mentioned yesterday they
had some type of Grant he paid they paid
part of that the community was up there
when I saw the truck there was some
people up there that you know there were
some there were some problems or some
issues at times you know with with the
people you know Vis po um you but at the
funding
part did it come from the PD or just
came from you don't know I don't know I
know after the mayor had requested that
there was an officer there more in the
afternoon sessions because that's when
it got a little more crowd and
especially when the pool is shutting
down getting people to leave the pool so
I'm not sure how it was funded whether
it stly through the PD or whether it was
a grant or something
I I can I can also offer that the police
were there in the morning in the
afternoon I played tennis there in the
morning and they were there like 8:30 in
the morning um so they were there I'm
just wondering the funding line most of
our issues are SS people didn't want to
leave the
C you making nice and you ask them to
leave the funding was directly through
the police department because you know
okay you know we weren't planning at
having police because of TR we
started started TR
so it's been a learning curve now we've
up some of the uh other levels of
deterrence with the camera
systems uh again
there's two factors one is uh
maintaining
uh appropriate activity during the
operational hours of the parks and then
it's people are choosing to go in there
after hours
people jumping the fence and so it's how
do you balance that out uh with will be
uniform police or other security that
might be a little bit cheaper and more
complimentary to just activities within
uh we're talking about the pool now but
I look at uh his a diamond his music cap
and so there places in the park where we
want people to have fun be able to enjoy
it and uh some of it is just being
approached with a little bit level of
flexibility what we learned this year
and how do we implement it going forward
next year again to get most cost
effective results but making sure people
are behaving themselves and having a
good
time when and you called your committee
toward I think one of the discussion was
um security cameras um we talking about
security having enforc security but what
about was um buying some cameras Oh we
have cameras
here J was that they lagged in the
installation so pool was done some of
the cameras weren't placed it was uh
laying some fiber optics uh everything
now I believe is up and
running
okay yeah I mean I think we could still
use a few more cameras um but I think
the lighting is the other piece that
really helped I mean we're having
vandalism I mean there's there's no
doubt but I think the additional
lighting that came as part of the um
overall project of the pool the tennis
courts Etc the road um really was great
and um you know helpful at night in the
park I know during the music Haven
season at least it was it was definitely
a little bit easier to maneuver around
um so I appreciate and the lighting is I
love those um those lights as well I
mean they're really very beautiful
so and just back in terms of the
security staff cause is that what could
cost us this year oh I no I don't I
don't have the I don't have the
information it's
15,000 have
somebody through the whole season you
can look that up and you tell me give
behav you know it's unfortunate that we
have to do this for a nice facility like
that
people are
just oh it was coming out of the police
budget okay I think the special police I said this year the police security was
paid out of the police budget yeah okay
that makes
sense I think to miss Toro's Point um it
might have been under special police
officer when the um when the police
presented
gent and the gentleman that work
downstairs in the pool that's right the
pool Bas numbers on two shifts the
second and the third shift be $25 find
my pool we canet it here and if we have
to revisit it we'll revisit it when um
the parks right committee comes up with
their fees and decide to move forward
with their fee
I'll all right any other question on the
full
maintenance if not we'll move to page 44
waste Administration our favor here we
go
waste admin increased by
6.15% I'm just going to go through the
rest of the waste collection a 8161
inreased by
9.85% waste disposal increased by
6.1% and waste recycling increased by
[Music]
9.02% we Recreation I did
a712 oh sorry all right let's go back to
page 42
bottom full Recreation FS of recreation
87125 increased by
4.72% I think that's mostly due to the
[Music]
board fees for services
correct
staff well the state changed
the minimum all R for lifeguards so
[Music]
yeah
reflects and this is funded by ARA we
had some make
202 2026 per y in the general budget any
question on this that's all the pools
not just um right not just not just
Central I just wanted to point that
out yeah
sorry yeah
okay so we'll move to page 44 W
Administration prob can just give us an
update on Administration and we'll take
question and go colle how much
Administration than some increases with
the to um Staffing or the deputy
director of
um General Services one thing we look at
is retaining help and attention here and
um there are some increase in order to
um compensate the employees that are
doing the work here um we have Union
employees that are exceeding the
salaries of
managers U which is um you know trying
to move somebody up from the to the next
manager spot he's not going to leave his
Union spot because has the full
protection of the bargain unit and he's
making more than the
manager it's um
and it's just something we have to look
at as a whole
um we start looking
at retaining good management within the
organization any question on this on
wasted men right waste
Administration go ahead please uh so the
deputy Street manager
81601 100 so he's half part time half
time here and half time where streets so
okay go ahead sorry but to that point
Miss on is there truly no ceiling for
salaries or for that that
um example you had where you have
employees superseding like salaries of
managers That's goes back to the
negotiations with the barain so when you
look at that and you know youing them
are you know
$98,000 um without their own
time yeah for a phone you it's you know
it's disappointing to the manager from
supervising him and you know after the
first two weeks of the winter he's
already exceeded what the manager's
making and you know so when you look at
moving you know a manager leaves because
find something different maybe um that
person doesn't want to move up to the
manager spot he's making more where he
is within the unit so it's you know
we've got to change that Delta between
some of the bargaining units and some of
the managers that are
managing go ahead please so I see that
you have uh your info processing
specialist three but that that position
is not being filled is this I guess this
is probably a a question for the mayor
and um Mr Ferrari is this consistent
throughout that we're moving all the um
info processes especially either we're
filling those positions or moving them
up to fours and getting rid of the lower
uh clerk kind of positions so looks like
it's happening and I think I think you
know uh I think the reason for that is
to uh is to keep uh retention of of the
employees that are broader level of job
duties that can be assigned to the four
as opposed to the three so we get more
value out of the actual workload plus
you get your attention
employe so the the clerk like we were
talking
about um the clarify Position will be no
more within the city at all
we will but in fact in fact at the
police department they're getting rid of
I3 and adding it
claric so it's recruit so you have to
match
up what the skill set of the employee is
with the actual demands of the job for
the
workload because well you weren't here
may but there was a lengthy discussion
about um an ips3 position being move a
clerical a position being removed ips3
being added and the impact it would have
on that particular because there's an
individual in the clerical Aid and that
person could see conceivably um not have
a job if they had an ips3 who was on the
list which there is a list now to fill
it so that's why I was wondering um the
rational most things do happen with
civil service and long stop trying to
figure out the full logic behind the
civil service system clerical Aid is not
a civil service it's not a tested
position correct but what you're saying
is on the other side where somebody
might be in a position there is a test
they would not be reachable on the list
and they would be out of a
[Music]
position go ahead please well I think
that I think it might have
been we talked about this when you were
presenting last night and I think that
did you mention that we would do
everything in our power to make sure
that that person would be working still
within the city uh somewhere and I also
just want to say and I have very limited
experience in this just from one of my
previous roles but I do find it frust I
found it frustrating as a supervisor but
I also want to say that again I think
that recognizing and trying to promote
recognizing people's skills trying to um
encourage them to move up and and
appreciate their skill level is really
important um especially around retention
um so I appreciate when people are you
know like what the police department
said especially because that clerical
the job
description um I I think is really just
so limited in terms of what that person
can actually do unless they're working
outside their job title and that could
get us into trouble so I didn't see did
they present us with a job description
of a clerical Aid because I didn't see
that I don't think that they did but I'm
just saying they talked about the fact
that I believe the clerical Aid mostly
it's like answering phones for example I
mean once you start to use the computers
and you know typee
ition so you know I can't make that
comparison I didn't see either job
prescription since we're on that topic
and it's related to code I'm just going
to make comment would it be wise to keep
that position because of the workflow
and
codes yeah because there's so much so
much for happening now and so much
things need to get look at is you know
the actual job description cleric versus
what a ips3 can do or
cases4 you know when you deal with the
Bary unit if you run say Clark to say
look I I need you to you know do a
spreadsheet and give me a report a job
description I I to do it so you you you
know you got to look at your needs in
the department and then look at how you
going to fill those needs if you got six
people answering the phone but nobody
can write a report we only
[Music]
one that's why we moved you know up to
you know for the IPS from IPS 2 IPS 3
because the salary is not a big jump but
you get a lot more um respons
responsibilities and they can do a lot
more for you under that title
um and the only way that person if if
they their their job was because
somebody else wanted a job the only way
for them to do that is to move in the
position where if they had seniority but
with the same job title in a different
[Music]
department that's
has to be in that
group it's really
complicated okay and to I have about
five minutes maybe eight I have to be at
the
um plot meeting
so we'll don't worry don't
worry all right let's go any other
question for Waste admin if not we'll
move into waste
collection bottom of page 45 into
46 there was a question submitted 81611
125 are waste working hours that is when
employee from another department comes
down to assist waste there's that $2 an
hour bump that they get so if we're
short or there's a lot of call outs and
weight and get somebody some Street stn
pars they get that $2 an hour and we did
approve that in the contract yes so that
was approved by us contractual thank
you any other questions on this
section if not we'll move to page um 47
at top W
disposal please U just on 46 and 47
increasing the labor loader from uh 3 to
5 and 5 to 7 I think that's a a good
deal I think it's important and I just
want to put that out there disposal
let's do disposal
uh one no no no right here uh but
dealing with this one here oh but we
this this is up here on page 46 so it's
um a
8161
121 so 3 to five yeah um and what it was
there's two in one two in the waste
colle two in recyc have a lot of very
good labor loaders that do a great job
um they're never going to get you know
they not have no incent to get a
driver's license to a CDL for other
reasons right but you know um they
should be looked at to move up to get
benefits from the city because of the
work they're doing and you know we were
kind enough to put five in last year
requesting four more this year and those
are would be four labor orders that are
will call cream the crop they come in
every day they do a great job um you
know and you know and move them from
seasonal to um you know full-time
position here I think that's wonderful
um and they don't need their CDL at this
point but hopefully they'll be working
right along and and want to get it and
that'll increase up the line for CDLs
for for trash drivers thank you go ahead
just really question from we kind of had
this discussion around a different um
department so this this 15 is this
really people in this
[Music]
position
okay all right so that one did get
Bren five is funded
by five is funded
by any other question
mve to page
47 where
disposal Way
Recycling the the big increases are
there obviously in our tiing fees and
that'll answer the question for the way
recycling to the contract is by CPI okay
um I'm sorry what is that consum price
yeah the contracts do go by CPA because
the landf fees go um every year Fiel
prices go um and with recycling there is
no guarantee with recycling we don't
even have a contract that takes us a
past two years because that's all based
on you know we go back four years ago
three years ago we didn't pay for
recycling right and now we're paying
more for you know disposing of recycles
recyclables than we are for MSW so it's
an unknown we could well be been higher
um not anticipating much higher but it's something that nobody can guarantee
us on a regular
[Music]
basis questions thank
you
[Music]
question see on we'll move into
um water
fun I I can't be like they put me on as
first at their meeting and Mr Warner
wants to talk about the high SCH and I
don't want to
get be for that if you want I know you
have unfinished business for um today
you want to be watering store have no
problem well I may be able to answer the
question Chris you leaving
also would you able
to I I can fumble through on water but I
think you're your specialist is to my
right
[Music]
H um we'll see what questions you have
yeah let's go through it and if we have
anything we'll just yes we'll let tell
me abolutely tell me I'll give you an
answer okay I apologize good luck
[Music]
thanks this is still kind of on waist
based on the
um Mr um told us about the plans about
the bags Etc and then we got the email
today we're going to be discussing um
the email that was that was sent out
from the discussing the email about the
turn from yes I I don't have we we can
discuss that when we have unfinished
business next week yeah yes because yeah
that's yes did you see it again yes so
we we can address that um next week next
Tuesday let's finish off working with
the department and go through whatever
we have
and process all time the budget review
let's move to water and let separate
time
so you can go through the revenue
please there's not really much to say
about the revenue we didn't increase any
fe uh I believe that um some of the uh
properties in and out of the city
depending on the year increase decree
that's how what you're seeing in the
differences markal differences in the
revenue
um throughout the water budget other
than that um absolutely the same
zero oh yes we're also added some
appropriated fund balance $61,900
[Music]
moving line FX2 410 we're zeroing it out
because there's no one it's at 5,000
because there's um that property is not
rented it's not rented uh I I you know
my talk PA you think we get some of for
six or something go I don't goes maybe
I'm not running it out not running not
back council with that requires upgrades
it cost more money and not going to go
down that
so we're taking that amount out of the
budget
y
other be one of
[Music]
Chang any additional question on what go
ahead please the Met water cells outside
City the 2022 act Rue line please
correct me if I'm wrong but it seems a
lot Clos certain I don't understand the
reason why but as you can see throughout
the years AC high has all but
doubled um so wanted to ensure that
we're not just attributing all of the
increases to our city residents
especially if external residents are
still equally benefiting from the same
resource so that's my question is just
what would be the process ially speaking
if we're interested increasing that line
for outside actually we did increase it
last year uh but and you have to speak
to PA about that because he he the very
correct
[Music]
answer well these some of those are
would be
Beyond public session some subject to
negotiation with some of our sister
communities
or some
are work with some are less than good to
work
with we've done a proposal years ago go
hit SK in there big debate over water
City could provide 100% of their water a
lot less than what they're charge in
their
residents I'm not any negotiations with
them at this point to actually undertake
that but uh there are times when we
provide 100% of the water for unit we
have the capacity to do
that most times it's more of a split
depending on their capacity out of their
Wells
thank
you any other question on this water
section have pleas um on the on an um an
expense line um the reservoir source of
is that the same Reservoir sour of um
expense line
fx8320 um 458 Landscaping it's under the
reservoir and I was just wondering what
was included in that line cuz that is you know a big jump we're going
from um 14,000 to
30,600 Paul used to mow the grass he's
not there he's not o the grass ah so
that's we're paying okay thank
you don't we just have another St um
somebody else from the city just go M
the grass wouldn't it just be another
staff member that Ms other properties
that we have but I think we weren't
paying we weren't paying all to do the
work so it's an additional work but I am
looking at that within
the stack
see just balance our resources out we
get complaints where we're not going to
grass and Parks some of the islands and
other sours to keep up with
the overall
demand so does that I'm not clear does
that mean that snap crew doesn't
wouldn't be doing that no right now the
proposal is is to have an outside vendor
from the door it which has been done for
the
last 6 weeks 8
weeks and then go ahead 83 am I still in
the same section oh no now I'm in
pumping do you want me to ask a question
or no go ahead let hold okay
8321 425 light power gas I wasn't I mean
it's a it's a big increase but I just
assumed it was probably increases in gas
and you know lighting but I wasn't
sure um page eight sorry page four light
yes you know we're adding fa is it
because of other pumping
station pumping stations add new water
ws and it's also not you know it's also
for electric and U gas also yeah so it's
just the the increases that we're all
facing in those in those areas but okay
so
the electric cost gas cost correct oh
yeah I mean I only there's nothing we
can do about it is basically what what
I'm thinking but hope for a better
contract next
time any other question on Water Well in
that things that we're trying to do we
had the proposal to uh sell the one lot
in reram for half a million dollars
that's been on hold because rather than
put in place a moratorium
[Music]
for solar fields and battery storage we
have adjacent property there we're still
looking uh the option of putting
solar
panels under two models one uh you put
the panels in generate the electricity
and sell it back to National Grid the
other one would be because of our high
demand for those uh pumps at the well we
would just use the electricity right on
sight uh but with solar again it's
a uh condition upon the time of
day the pumps
run to very 24 hours a
day you would never have full capacity
of so
there just want to let you know too
currently we're at
$89,000 per
year for electric yeah I have
that yeah I saw
that yep
[Music]
we'll move to
Su from the
[Music]
okay so the sewer fund it's only a 5.5%
increase 24 adopted to the proposed 2025
there's no increases in the
flat sewer
rates um basically the same thing as the
water um depending on what comes online
go offline um we are using appropriate
debt reserves of
$69,000 other than
[Music]
that for
[Music]
if you have a question go ahead please
I was to call you I I just know that
Paul probably want to let you know that
the sludge hauling and grit yeah because
just the contract has increased
going up to 150 something dollar a know
you been complained so going from
1,700 1950 I know that it's a big point
of contention for them you know I know
he's trying to work hard to try to get
better deals all the time it's not 1700
1.7 to 1.97 to
1.9 if I know you would want to talk
about that so that's a question you guys
can ask when it comes back to again yeah
you want to summarize on the
benefits
uh and the benefits uh uh pretty much
all the same from last year the biggest
increas is uh uh again like we said last
year was U we knew this was going to
happen was for Debt Service and uh
Health uh but you know because you know
we had our plan to increase our the
rates from last year you know that's why
we have to rate this year
questions yes yeah under the workers
comp Medical
Services 2023 was at 11,000 and 2024 50
and went back down by
50 um yeah what had what had happened
was uh
in23 was someone who got and you
contining the services so we knew it was
going to increase and now uh everybody
seems to do good so we're keeping it at
looking at lower it you know cuz you
know there's really not it's not really
a huge uh number of people so if one guy
gets hurt it's will cause
the any other
[Music]
questions got
water and SE is definitely Paul's
Forte General general service questions
I can answer all that if for some reason
not satisfi we can uh we can have him um
be available either Friday or
Tuesday so kind of answer any additional
questions we may
have chrisan you do Capital yes I was
going to roll capital
and capital straight forward
I
don't we can share that one I'm going
[Music]
to it's a poli collection it's proposals
for two rear
[Music]
loers Parts proper yes yeah start from
the top
and uh 2f 350 regular pickups with plows
uh crew cab with the plow and two golf
carts um one of our golf carts was uh
was crashed uh this year the other one
is in very poor shape it's how um our
staff get moves along Central Park and gets from one side to the other um
the fleet pickups are are needed uh um
especially our our our plowing abilities
for our Parks they have a lot of Aging
vehicles in our waste collection um Paul
had also put in for two rear load of
Packers um I I believe this is an
excellent investment to continue to uh
improve and replace these repun these
trucks on a yearly basis uh taking a
couple of these in uh I remember a few
years back three or four years back you
would put four in and now we're down to
the point where we can start maintaining
at a a two truck level I think that's an ongoing budgeting
thing no onment really quickly does that
increase the number of trucks you're
able to put out a daily or does that
ensure that all the trucks are in a good
maintenance like standard it is it is
for more of a maintenance Factor um we
see uh with the the older trucks when
they break down uh there's a cost to
Main maintain those and a lot of those
have to be sent out for for a lot of the
larger
issues um so we' be sending uh uh
usually it's 17 trucks going out daily
and um it depends that that varies a
little bit uh depending on uh the time
of year for U yard waste and recycling
it it's heavier sometimes so we do put
out some more but we we try to put a
constant number out daily
thank next one be
sweet Street Department
[Music]
y uh two six wheel uh dump trucks with
plow and spreader and then uh six whe
dump truck with front plow uh Wing
blades and a salt and
spreader um our plow trucks are aging I believe
um they are 06s that we're
replacing
04 104 Paul 18y old 18 yeah yeah they're
um as they were coming in last year they
were coming in on the recer um they
there wasn't a storm that we didn't have
breakdowns with our CL fet
um this is why we put them trying to
replace it do you still run two people
on a wing truck or no one too
yeah any question on these Capital
[Music]
items Water and
Sewer you have water and sewer if you
can
just again I'll I I'll refer to fall I
can go through this and uh um I I have
very little involvement in water and
sewer
um sewer you know I deal with these guys
but he he uh
[Music]
he
question let's go them you have question
like well field uh is for the two
existing Wells that want to revelop to
with the wells that are there uh where
know
[Music]
where Road other Wells and then the
water district repairs and improvements
uh
350,000 that's for you know any
Improvement that they doing on the water
line throughout the city they need a van
for the plumber and all these were going
to be using a capital reserves uh so
we're not borrowing any money for
that and the sh this this is where you
know it's you know power you but I just
want to make one thing that there's a
Wastewater replac bar screen designed
only for like a million dollars uh and we put some as on the bottom say
that that is going to determine what the
cost is going to be
but million $7 million more so just want
to let you guys know that uh uh the
utility cabs the truck and the was
treatment equipment replacement we're
going to be using the capital reserves
and then we're going to borrow money for
the the collection system repairs and
Improvement uh the digestor which is
he'll have to explain that to you
because that's a a bit a quite a quite
St and then
again I just want to get out that so so
that when you see them it put you your
mind that have to ask them about this
stuff yeah goad please maybe for the mayor or
Anthony so the survey we got on the
water you know what our water
is that do we are is the city
responsible for replacing anything from
the any part of
that and where would that money come
from if we
are there are scenarios where we would
be responsible at this point we're doing
the survey looking to line up for
federal and state money that's going to
be available for that so I'm not at this
point assuming that there's going to be
any expenditure of local
dollars for any of those
[Music]
remediations yeah Paul mentioned that to
us possibility that stand look into
there there is grant funding uh for
talking about they um replacement for
the survey there's um there is grant
money that's 100% reimbursable to the
city and what I would ask the council do
is when you're out with groups or
talking the individuals matter what
you're talking about remind people to
fill out their Sur
send it in so that we have a
better inventory of what's in the field
and have a better way to estimate some
of those potential
costs any other
questions seeing none thank you um all
