[0:16] [Music]
[0:36] Hey.
[0:39] [Music]
[1:48] It's good.
[1:56] You got just me today.
[1:59] >> You got just me today.
[2:06] » Once in a while.
[2:11] » Not too often.
[2:18] I'd like to call to order this
[2:19] connecting city council committee
[2:20] meeting for Monday, August 4th, 2020.
[2:23] August 3rd
[2:25] >> already. Oh my gosh. Where did the month
[2:28] go already?
[2:30] >> August 4th, 2025. Uh the first committee
[2:34] is government operations.
[2:37] >> Madam President, like to call order
[2:40] government operations. We have one item
[2:43] on the one item on the agenda today. Mr.
[2:45] Williams.
[2:46] >> Uh thank you. So I think the last time u
[2:48] discussed this this was still in its
[2:50] infantile stages. I'm excited to
[2:52] announce that just waiting to hear back
[2:54] from more feedback from the rest of the
[2:55] board or not the board the committee
[2:57] regarding um the nominated criteria and
[3:00] how the applications will be received
[3:02] from applicants. um hopefully hearing
[3:04] back from the simple majority by
[3:07] Wednesday and then we'll be able to at
[3:08] least start receiving applicants and the
[3:11] assumption we'll do that for a twoe
[3:12] period. Um it's a lot of learning. I met
[3:15] the process with including some
[3:17] representatives from our academia. The
[3:19] summer time might not be the best time
[3:21] to have a reviewing committee meet. Uh
[3:23] so I'm definitely taking a lot of notes
[3:24] just due with the back to school efforts
[3:26] with the colleges and also with the
[3:28] school district. But sincerely I
[3:29] appreciate everyone's involvement. Um, I
[3:32] can definitely look to field some
[3:33] questions, but I think ultimately in the
[3:36] resolution that we passed, it had a
[3:37] September 8th date identified, and I'm
[3:40] confident that we'll still be able to or
[3:41] the committee will still be able to
[3:43] receive applicants, review them, and
[3:45] then push forward a recommendation to
[3:47] council on time.
[3:50] >> Colonel, um, Mr. Williams, could you
[3:52] tell me I can forget who's actually on
[3:54] the selection committee?
[3:55] >> Uh, I can send that to you. Uh, just I
[3:57] just don't want to mispronounce any
[3:58] names, but I can send that to the Great.
[4:00] Thank you.
[4:02] Mr.
[4:03] >> Mr. Williams, when when you initially um
[4:04] introduced this legislation, there were
[4:06] certain groups that were going to be
[4:08] represented. Is are those still the same
[4:09] groups?
[4:10] >> Yes, ma'am.
[4:10] >> Okay. So, the individuals come from
[4:12] those particular groups that were in the
[4:13] legislation. Okay. Thank you.
[4:18] » Any other questions, comments?
[4:20] [Music]
[4:22] Motion to any other business to come
[4:25] before government operations.
[4:27] Okay. Hearing none, I'll accept a motion
[4:29] to adjourn.
[4:31] So second
[4:34] >> second all those in favor. We are journ
[4:38] >> call to order the finance committee and
[4:40] the first item is amendment to the US
[4:44] finance agreement. That's correct.
[4:48] >> Um I'm going to defer to s.
[4:59] Thanks.
[4:59] >> You're welcome.
[5:01] >> Any questions?
[5:05] » Yeah. So, this is an amendment. Could
[5:06] you Can you tell us how this differs
[5:09] than the original agreement?
[5:10] >> Yep. The main difference in this
[5:12] agreement is that the original agreement
[5:14] that we did last year was for some base
[5:16] work of eight courts with the
[5:18] alternative work of 10. USA has provided
[5:21] the additional funding so that we could
[5:23] do all 18. So, we revised the agreement
[5:26] to include all 18 and that USDA would um
[5:30] come up with the additional funding. Uh
[5:32] I've also, just so you're aware, I've
[5:34] talked with the US today and I've asked
[5:36] that the USDA Eastern provide you with a
[5:39] letter of concurrence for your meeting
[5:41] on Monday just so that you have that. Um
[5:45] you have to remember Maxine, uh she did
[5:47] a really great job working with them as
[5:49] it went. But there is a section in here
[5:51] that I'll call your attention to because
[5:53] we don't want to get anybody nervous.
[5:55] Section two, se part one. It says if the
[5:59] costs are found to be in excessive, US
[6:02] may terminate this contract. The idea
[6:04] was is that USGA, we didn't think it was
[6:07] fair to have them have a contract that
[6:09] bind them into what the cost would be.
[6:11] >> Um, and so we did get six bids. The low
[6:15] bid was uh within our budget. actually
[6:17] was a great bid contractor that we've
[6:20] worked with and uh we've reviewed it and
[6:23] we have a letter from our consultant in
[6:25] the later portion of the packet and USA
[6:27] will be uh sending us a letter to state
[6:30] that they are comfortable with the bid
[6:31] and will be providing us with the
[6:33] additional funding. Um, the amount won't
[6:36] be determined because if you were to
[6:38] read into here, there's some other
[6:39] things that they like a shed and things
[6:41] like that. Those are things that they
[6:42] may purchase additionally because like
[6:44] it states in the agreement, the city
[6:46] funding is capped at the funding that we
[6:48] have available, but they realize that
[6:50] this facility is important to their
[6:52] operations for the next 20 years. So,
[6:54] they want to make sure that the
[6:55] investment is there initially.
[6:58] >> Go ahead, please.
[6:59] >> So, initially they were going to do 10
[7:01] courts in Central Park and then the
[7:03] Michigan Avenue. we were going to do
[7:04] eight courts in Central Park and do some
[7:07] repairs to Michigan Avenue. So now,
[7:09] right now, we're focused on Central Park
[7:11] and that we will have uh possibly an
[7:13] agreement in the future for Michigan
[7:14] Avenue, but they Central Park is
[7:17] critical to their um essentially to
[7:20] their season, to their schedule. So,
[7:22] they want to put right now all their
[7:24] eggs in one basket with Central Park. Um
[7:26] Michigan is more critical to 15 Love
[7:30] because a lot of educational things
[7:31] happen at 15 Love. So, it is something
[7:33] that we'll have to look at, but they
[7:35] like to uh focus on Central Park
[7:39] because, as we talked about prior, um
[7:41] the June 1st deadline is going to be a
[7:43] challenge. Um right after this gets
[7:45] approved, we're going to have meetings
[7:46] with um construction with Gallup and try
[7:50] to move this forward as quickly as
[7:51] possible.
[7:54] [Music]
[7:55] >> Any other questions?
[7:57] Seeing none, may I
[7:59] have a motion to move this item forward?
[8:02] >> Second. All in favor?
[8:03] >> I thank you.
[8:05] >> The next item is just a reminder, 2023
[8:08] consolidated annual performance and
[8:09] evaluation report. The public hearing is
[8:12] scheduled for August 11th at 700 p.m.
[8:18] Are there any other business for
[8:19] finance?
[8:21] Seeing none, may I have a motion to
[8:24] second?
[8:24] >> All in favor?
[8:25] >> I thank you.
[8:28] >> Uh I'd like to call city development and
[8:30] planning. We have six items on the
[8:32] agenda. The first item is the new USDA
[8:35] use agreement. Mash,
[8:37] >> I will defer again to Mr. Watkins.
[8:39] >> Okay. So, this is not necessarily my
[8:42] subject matter. Um, it's a usage
[8:44] agreement, not a finance agreement. So,
[8:46] this is for um USA and their subsidiary
[8:50] of 15 love to use these tennis courts
[8:52] for a period of 20 years suspending
[8:54] December 31st, 2046. Their previous
[8:57] agreement was set to expire this year.
[9:00] the USA uh requested that for the money
[9:04] to be transferred over that they extend
[9:05] this agreement so that the both happen
[9:08] at the same time. They're making an
[9:09] investment and the city's acknowledging
[9:10] that we'd be able to they'll be able to
[9:12] use the the courts for 20 years. The
[9:14] only thing that I could point out on
[9:17] this because I was talking with uh both
[9:20] Maxine and Bill Maza is that this this
[9:23] regards a waving of fees given their
[9:26] commitment for USDA Eastern and 15 Love.
[9:31] No other entities.
[9:33] Now, the city has to probably get
[9:35] something in place similar to the pool
[9:37] where we have something that would make
[9:38] sense for both the city and for the
[9:40] patrons. But you know, right now the
[9:43] courts are not a paid entity. So this
[9:46] just takes place to USDA Eastern and
[9:49] 1511. That's what's stipulated in here.
[9:54] » Mr. I'm sorry.
[9:55] >> So just for clarity, so
[9:59] after the investments made um and the
[10:01] courts are done, you're saying that only um those are only entities but
[10:08] people but we're talking about rather
[10:10] citizens could use the courts for your
[10:12] charge.
[10:13] >> No,
[10:15] it is in the code today that there is a
[10:19] charge to use the central park tense
[10:20] courts. The city has not
[10:22] >> Oh yeah.
[10:23] >> done it
[10:23] >> right. But it is on the books. It is one
[10:26] of these many things that is on the
[10:27] books that we have. Um it was stopped uh
[10:32] I believe several years ago because the
[10:34] costs of staffing to
[10:37] >> you know collect the fee ended up being
[10:39] more than the fee.
[10:41] >> Mhm. But what this agreement is talking
[10:43] about is for the next 20 years, USDA
[10:46] Eastern 15 love, if the city were to
[10:48] come out with a fee structure and
[10:50] enforce it, they would not pay for that
[10:52] fee structure for their events.
[10:55] It also I believe it gives them uh
[10:58] priority to book ahead of time so that
[11:01] if there were a USJ Eastern event going
[11:03] up against a school event, the USJ
[11:05] Eastern event would have the the
[11:07] president. They would be able to book,
[11:08] not the school event. Mr.
[11:12] Mayor
[11:13] >> defer to the chair.
[11:14] >> Oh, I'm sorry.
[11:15] >> Okay.
[11:16] >> Uh, this has been a long-term
[11:18] relationship for the city and it
[11:20] continues to expand where we really had
[11:23] more formal relationship with the junior
[11:25] division. This is expanding that. So,
[11:29] uh, they're making a significant
[11:31] commitment, but there's also, uh, it's a
[11:34] regional draw where it brings people
[11:37] into the community. So people are
[11:39] staying at the hotels. Uh they're going
[11:42] to restaurants. Uh they're spending
[11:44] money here in Skenctity and believe it's
[11:48] a good partnership and we're had to
[11:51] defer a little bit for Michigan Avenue.
[11:53] Glad to look at that in the capital
[11:55] budget for 26 and I submit that to the
[11:58] council. Hopefully we'll be able to
[12:00] address that uh have this move ahead. It
[12:04] compliments the swimming pool, the A
[12:05] diamond, the rose garden, the
[12:08] greenhouse, uh,
[12:11] >> music.
[12:12] >> Yeah, music haven. And just it's really
[12:14] an impressive record that we've put
[12:17] together in Central Park.
[12:21] >> Uh, so regarding um how long will the
[12:24] courts be shut down? Because I get asked
[12:26] that question a lot.
[12:27] >> The courts uh anticipating that today is
[12:31] 4th. So if if the contractor would allow, they
[12:35] would be closed from September 15th to
[12:37] June 1st.
[12:39] >> Okay.
[12:40] >> Um the other thing is in regard to
[12:43] parking since we're talking about having
[12:45] these these tournaments there and
[12:46] already park as you know parking is a
[12:48] challenge. So um is there any thought as
[12:51] these renovations are being done how we
[12:53] can expand the parking to be able to
[12:56] accommodate people or was that part of
[12:58] the plan? Is that parking planned into
[13:00] this at all? There's no parking as part
[13:03] of this. Um there's been we have
[13:08] right now are doing work on Fair Avenue
[13:11] >> to upgrade that to uh reconfigure it uh
[13:16] with uh millings and other things which
[13:18] will provide parking for the swimming
[13:22] pool, a diamond, tennis courts, uh some
[13:26] of these things. uh music haven. It's a
[13:28] little bit of a walk, but there would be
[13:30] more parking within a reasonable
[13:33] distance. And you know, there is some
[13:35] parking on street around the tennis
[13:37] courts. It does not uh meet the needs
[13:41] when there is a major event or a lot of
[13:43] activity at the tennis courts or the
[13:45] swimming pool, but we're uh doing work
[13:48] right now on Fair Avenue to increase
[13:51] that capacity.
[13:53] >> Right. So, and and frankly right now it
[13:55] really doesn't even meet the needs in
[13:56] the morning with the drop in quite
[13:57] frankly starting to park like really
[14:00] going down and just um on the other
[14:02] because um on the other side where
[14:05] there's grass there was a no parking
[14:06] sign on the the tree
[14:09] >> and um actually someone was getting a
[14:11] ticket just the other day. So parking I
[14:14] just wanted to bring forth the fact that
[14:15] uh parking is already
[14:17] >> trying to get a little revenue to pay
[14:18] for some of this.
[14:19] >> Well, except it was it's a whole thing.
[14:21] I talked to Mr. wrong about it, but I
[14:23] just want to make sure that as we're
[14:24] considering it, we make sure that
[14:25] people, you know, we know people are
[14:28] coming that people um are accommodated,
[14:30] especially those who um also live
[14:32] locally and park there. So, you're not
[14:33] going to take they're not going to take
[14:34] away the parking that currently exists
[14:36] in front of the courts that will not be
[14:38] removed even though they're doing um
[14:40] things on Fair Avenue?
[14:42] >> No, there's no plan to remove anything
[14:45] even though they've talked about the
[14:47] shed and some other things. So, that
[14:49] >> there's plenty of space for the front.
[14:51] So, we're going to leave the parking
[14:52] there. We're going to allow still
[14:53] parking on the grass
[14:55] >> um on opposite for events. Usually, that
[14:58] works out pretty well. We'd like to make
[15:00] sure the buses aren't there. They take
[15:01] up a lot of space trying to get them to
[15:03] Fair Avenue. The area that you're
[15:05] talking about, um that is a no parking
[15:08] area. One of the things that we need to
[15:10] talk about internally is the whole
[15:12] what's good for the goose is good for
[15:13] the gander, which is it's easy to to
[15:16] ticket one car that's parked there for
[15:18] tennis. However, we have many events,
[15:21] many very large events, Music Haven,
[15:23] Caribbean Fest as such where people park
[15:25] everywhere and then maybe the
[15:26] enforcement is lax because it is just
[15:28] overwhelmingly
[15:30] uh out of compliance and then we have to
[15:32] find out because then we would be
[15:33] selective ticketing and we don't want to
[15:35] do that. We want to make sure that what
[15:36] we do is uniform. So, um you know what
[15:39] we'd have to do is make sure that we
[15:40] have enough enforcement to cover what
[15:42] we're doing and have areas of it. But
[15:44] technically that area that's no parking
[15:45] is no parking. We've talked about it
[15:47] internally and that is a no parking
[15:49] area. We can put including grass or some
[15:51] kind of a sign like that, but we just
[15:53] feel that people are probably parking
[15:55] there and if we put grass there, they'll
[15:57] park on it. So then we're getting into
[15:59] boulders and rocks and ropes and it's
[16:01] something that we're going to have to
[16:02] look at cuz the utilization of the park
[16:03] is at an all-time high and it's only
[16:05] projected to go higher.
[16:06] >> Mhm.
[16:10] » Uh any other questions from any other
[16:11] council members?
[16:14] If not, I'll introduce.
[16:16] [Music]
[16:19] » Thank you very much, Mr. W.
[16:21] >> I'm here for a little while.
[16:22] >> Oh, okay. You're right. Item number two
[16:26] is authorizing the issuance of revocable
[16:28] permit number 689 to Solstice Kitchen
[16:30] LLC for a sign that will overhang the
[16:33] city's right away on the facing building
[16:34] at 515 State Street. Mr.
[16:38] >> Yep. Uh Solstice Kitchen is the former
[16:40] puzzles and Farmer Biblio Tech. Uh that
[16:44] was the name of it. Um they are looking
[16:47] to open up a new uh kitchen restaurant
[16:49] and have a blade style sign similar to
[16:51] what we have on the 400 block of State
[16:54] Street. This is a revocable permit for
[16:56] that sign. Um planning sees no issues
[16:58] with this design and they submitted all
[17:00] the required paper.
[17:03] >> Any questions, concerns?
[17:06] I do have one thing though that I'd like
[17:08] to bring up. It's not about the sign
[17:10] necessarily, but about the um I always I
[17:12] spoke to Mr. W about about the
[17:14] establishment. Um did all of you get the
[17:16] email from Miss Michael about the 500
[17:19] foot look um hearing on this uh
[17:23] particular place. Um, and what it is,
[17:26] the 500 foot hearings is if an
[17:28] establishment that serves alcohol on
[17:30] site, um, is within 500 ft of other
[17:34] establishments that do the same thing.
[17:36] So, this one does when we look at
[17:39] there's one across the street, there's
[17:41] Amber and Amber and Court down the
[17:43] street and then there's 501. So, I just
[17:45] want to make everyone aware that that's
[17:47] out there. I'm not I don't think I don't
[17:48] know what the implication is going to be
[17:50] once they go to the hearing, but I did
[17:52] even note the fact that there are
[17:54] establishments within the 500 ft. So,
[17:57] Miss uh Barash, um I if you could if you
[18:00] could just um just provide for us
[18:02] information, clarification whether any
[18:04] of that's going to matter for this
[18:05] particular establishment. I don't know
[18:07] that it would matter with the sign
[18:08] because maybe they could then decide not
[18:10] to have alcohol on on on um on site and
[18:14] the uh 200 foot there's also a 200 foot
[18:17] um uh here rule and that has to do with
[18:21] uh religious religious establishments in
[18:24] schools and none of the the school
[18:25] that's close to that is not within 200
[18:28] feet because we already um established
[18:29] that as well. So, I just wanted to make
[18:31] you all aware desk school it's it's
[18:34] within 500 feet but not within 200 feet.
[18:37] So, I just wanted to make you all aware
[18:39] of why you're getting that information
[18:40] and what it's about and how it could
[18:42] possibly impact us.
[18:45] >> Did you have your hand up?
[18:46] >> Did you have your Yes. So, I I just want
[18:49] to say that, you know, whenever um we
[18:52] own a property um and whenever
[18:54] anything's opening close to us, there's
[18:56] always a public hearing held and anyone
[18:58] can go speak their their mind or object
[19:01] to it. But I I don't understand what the concern is here.
[19:05] >> Well, the concern is they're making you
[19:07] aware that there has to be a hearing
[19:08] because this place could fall in um
[19:12] >> fall under that. And this public
[19:14] hearing, by the way, is not in public.
[19:15] It's very clear that if you want to make
[19:17] any remarks, you you would send them in
[19:18] writing, but no one can appear.
[19:20] >> Okay?
[19:20] >> So, this person, this um public, this
[19:23] place in particular is serving alcohol.
[19:25] So, whenever it's serving alcohol,
[19:27] >> there's a public hearing that's within
[19:29] 500 ft. So, the concern is not the I
[19:32] won't say the concern. I just want to
[19:34] make sure that you're aware that it's
[19:35] happening. That's what this is about.
[19:37] So, that it's happening. And that
[19:38] happens a lot in the city and we get,
[19:40] you know, notices, but I I just don't
[19:42] understand why today we're just hearing
[19:44] >> Well, this property I don't remember the
[19:46] last time I got a notice regarding um a
[19:48] public hearing for something that was
[19:49] going to be in there.
[19:49] >> Right. Well, I do on Union Street when
[19:51] things when bars and restaurants open. I
[19:54] I'm just saying I just don't understand
[19:55] why
[19:56] >> that's you as an individual. This is us
[19:58] as a municipality. So, the notice came
[20:00] to the municipality to make us aware.
[20:02] >> So, I'm making everyone aware of why
[20:04] we're getting it.
[20:05] >> Okay.
[20:07] I I just wanted to note that um Novel
[20:09] Bibliotic, okay, um did also serve um
[20:13] wine. I I was never there at night, but
[20:15] I know that they did have that on their
[20:16] menu. So, I don't know. I I I know that
[20:18] it's a separate establishment and they
[20:20] have to go to the liquor authority as
[20:22] well for their own bourment, but
[20:24] >> um that that establishment did have
[20:28] >> Well, it depends on it also depends if
[20:30] you're serving food on the
[20:30] establishment. It's it's not just that
[20:32] they're serving alcohol. So, there's
[20:34] some other things that come into place.
[20:36] And the school is new.
[20:38] >> Yeah. And the school was prior to was
[20:41] prior to uh I mean came after five 151
[20:45] came after 151.
[20:47] >> Yeah.
[20:48] >> Maj I saw your hand.
[20:49] >> Defer the mayor.
[20:50] >> Okay. Mayor
[20:52] >> this is a standard notification that's
[20:54] been given for every one of those
[20:56] establishments. So
[20:58] >> thank you. Thank you.
[21:01] >> Except but this is like new. This is
[21:03] like one of three within the area. So I
[21:05] think it may fall in the root. We'll
[21:06] see. But Miss Williams,
[21:09] >> I don't think there's any issue with
[21:10] getting more information. I think part
[21:12] of the assumption that we often miss is
[21:14] that people that are viewing our meeting
[21:15] might not have a clear a clear
[21:18] indication of what we are discussing. So
[21:20] I think providing that additional
[21:21] context should be valued and appreciated
[21:24] and also make sure you give appropriate
[21:25] consideration to anyone that is queuing
[21:27] in for the first time.
[21:29] >> Thank you. Any other questions or
[21:31] concerns?
[21:33] Yes, Mr. Rush. Um,
[21:34] >> just for clarification as it relates to
[21:37] the uh the matter at hand right now, the
[21:40] revocable permit hearing um would not
[21:44] necessarily have any um it wouldn't be
[21:47] relevant to the permit because the
[21:50] establishment could still open
[21:52] >> um without liquor um if they were to uh
[21:57] not prevail during their hearing.
[21:59] >> Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah. But I
[22:01] just wanted to make sure people still
[22:02] were aware.
[22:03] >> Sure.
[22:04] >> Thank you.
[22:05] >> Any other questions or concerns?
[22:06] >> I'll move this.
[22:07] >> Second. All's in favor.
[22:10] >> Thank you very much.
[22:11] >> Um
[22:13] the next item number three is the award
[22:15] the baby contract of Central Park Tennis
[22:17] court improvements to Gallow
[22:19] Construction Corporation. Mr. W.
[22:21] >> Yep. So similar what we talked about, we
[22:23] wanted to make sure all the agreements
[22:24] and bids were together at once so that
[22:26] we could be efficient. Um the city bid
[22:28] the improvements to the Central Park
[22:30] tennis courts. Uh we received seven bids
[22:33] which is a nice amount of bids. Uh
[22:36] several of them were very tight uh with
[22:38] a low bid of Gallow Construction. Gallow
[22:41] is a general contractor in the area that
[22:44] we have worked with in the past. Um
[22:46] originally we were hesitant and we did
[22:48] call them um about that because they are
[22:51] not a tennis specialty contractor. Uh
[22:54] however um they have a subcontractor who
[22:57] will be doing all of their tennis work
[22:59] and their subcontractor is one of the
[23:01] more respected in the northeast. So GW
[23:04] will be local. They will be the GC doing
[23:07] all the dirt work handling all the
[23:09] grading and all the prep for the
[23:11] subcontractor who will put in the
[23:13] specialized concrete plane surfaces and
[23:16] then a fencing contractor will come in
[23:19] uh at the end and finish the fencing.
[23:21] So, um there's a letter of
[23:22] recommendation from our engineer who
[23:24] spoke with Gallow um just to make sure
[23:26] we have that and we are comfortable
[23:29] moving forward
[23:31] and and just know this is a
[23:33] very competitive bid. We did a lot of
[23:35] estimates and this is uh below those
[23:39] estimates. I wouldn't say significantly
[23:41] below but below which is good in today's
[23:42] day and age that we got a bid that was
[23:45] below our estimate.
[23:46] >> Mhm. Well, I'm really I'm glad first of
[23:48] all it was below the estimate, but also
[23:50] that we're using a local company that
[23:52] can subcontract. So, that's uh that's
[23:54] important. I know that we init we signed
[23:56] something um saying that they didn't
[23:58] need to have an apprentice program
[23:59] because we were thinking there may be
[24:00] places that out of state, but that still
[24:02] falls in place here. Is that that's
[24:04] correct?
[24:04] >> Correct. Okay.
[24:05] >> The majority of the work will be the
[24:07] subcontractor. The subcontractor work is
[24:10] the bulk of the work. the the tennis
[24:12] courts, they will be pouring all of the
[24:14] concrete and that is the bulk of the
[24:17] work, but they will be doing it as a
[24:18] subcontractor to the local firm.
[24:20] >> Okay.
[24:22] >> Mr. Williams,
[24:22] >> I was just speaking to your comment
[24:24] earlier about the bid coming in below.
[24:26] Is it too early to tell like whether the
[24:29] uh just industry in general with like
[24:31] supplies and like materials just
[24:33] skyrocketing? Is it starting to ease
[24:35] down or
[24:36] >> I don't I don't think it's starting to
[24:37] ease. I think that um we talked with
[24:40] them. They uh being local um you'll see
[24:42] like Classic Turf, the company
[24:44] themselves bid, they were actually tied
[24:46] for second. Um they were coming from out
[24:48] of town. Uh the other bid might have had
[24:50] a little bit more on it. I I think that
[24:52] certain things are starting to ease, but
[24:54] I don't think we're seeing a lot come
[24:55] down, but we are able to at least
[24:57] estimate where we are a little bit
[24:58] better than, you know, 3 years ago where
[25:00] you had to pad everything uh quite a bit
[25:02] to get to where we are. So, we're
[25:04] excited about this. I'm actually uh if it moves today, I'm going to be
[25:08] making phone call tomorrow to try to
[25:09] line things up so that we're trying to
[25:11] expedite everything as soon as possible
[25:13] to get on get on their schedule, get
[25:14] them out there.
[25:16] >> Any other questions or comments?
[25:18] >> Entertain a motion.
[25:20] >> Second.
[25:20] >> All those in favor?
[25:22] >> Thank you, Mr. Wall.
[25:23] >> That's it for you. Um the next item is
[25:26] the call for a public hearing on the
[25:28] 2025 2026 6 action um annual action plan
[25:32] which just remind public hearing will be
[25:34] on August
[25:37] M 11. When's the public hearing?
[25:39] >> Call for public hearing 11 and then the
[25:41] actual public hearing.
[25:42] >> Okay. The call for public hearing be on
[25:44] the 11th.
[25:44] >> Oh no. We're calling for the public
[25:46] hearing.
[25:47] >> We're calling for the public hearing.
[25:49] >> Yes.
[25:50] >> I'll move. We have to move that.
[25:53] >> Yeah. We're calling for the public
[25:54] hearing, so we have to move. Yes. So, I
[25:56] move that.
[25:56] >> Second.
[25:57] >> All those in favor?
[25:58] >> I.
[25:59] >> All right. The last two um items have to
[26:01] do with redemption of property. So, they
[26:04] would be an executive session. Um all um
[26:09] I'd like to call for I'd like to ask for
[26:12] a motion to enter into executive
[26:13] session. So, move second. All in favor?
[26:15] I.
