>> Oh no, the last month. Yeah, you're

we need approval for amendments to this
[2:23] agenda.
That Do we want to approve or amend the
[2:27] current agenda that we have?
This is what I was just saying that I
[2:31] added cuz we're supposed to have it. So,
um
[2:35] I guess to amend the agenda, I would
move to move those to the next meeting
[2:42] that we have, whatever.
That's the only amendment I have.
[2:47] » Okay.
So, we'll go through with the September
[2:50] 12th.

[4:19] » Not I mean just talk loud so they can
hear it in the microphone.
[4:23] » All right. Hopefully this is loud
enough.
[4:26] Um thank you for letting me come here.
My name is Matt Weston and I recently
[4:30] took over as the Dell Rapids Community
Development Director.
[4:35] Uh I was the executive director of the
Chamber of
[4:38] in a three-hour right now um
three three-minute things but
[4:44] I I wanted to come and present to you
guys some ideas that we were talking
[4:47] about when I was on the chamber board of
trying to maybe work together
[4:52] as both the Rapids and Plover taking
creating more of a area Chamber of
[4:56] Commerce.
Um just to kind of help the businesses
[4:59] here in town as well as in Dell Rapids
in the area. Um this idea kind of came
[5:04] because I started to see a lot of the
businesses here posting in the Plover
[5:09] local Dell Rapids Facebook pages and
other Dell Rapids pages and like why why
[5:13] not
try to build something that is more area
[5:16] that we could work together and and help
one another. So that's really kind of
[5:21] the thought that I've had um three a
high-level idea at this point. I'm not
[5:25] sure how it would how it would how it
would work.
[5:28] Um but really my my goal is to try to
help all the businesses succeed and
[5:32] things.
You guys probably face a lot of the same
[5:35] things that we do being so close to
Sioux Falls. How do we get people to
[5:39] shop local, do the things local? Well, I
mean it's so easy to go to New Sioux
[5:42] Falls and go to work and work and
whatever that may be.
[5:46] Um so that's
a trying to paint a picture of what I'm
[5:51] I'm hoping to accomplish and pass off to
the chamber of commerce and take take
[5:55] over.
>> I love it.
[5:56] » Mhm.
>> Yeah. And And it's not a a thing where,
[5:59] you know, we want to take take over any
events or change any of the any of the
[6:05] things that have been going on. It's
more of a how can we network together,
[6:08] share ideas,
share resources, and help one another
[6:11] grow.
>> Right. Absolutely.
[6:14] » that come to the Dog Days meetings we
had. Um, at least one I'm not sure if he
[6:20] came to ones I wasn't at, but it was
very well received by everybody there
[6:23] and we were really excited at the
thought of having
[6:27] kind of a group effort so that, you
know, we could work together and
[6:32] I think it'll would only benefit
the people in Baltic and us.
[6:37] » That sounds good. Actually, this last
year working with Cooper Resources and
[6:40] learning so much about this and because
I spent 19 years in IT, so this world
[6:44] was new to me.
Um, and I think the thing that they
[6:47] forced that word is they pushed R&D, but
rip and duplicate.
[6:53] So, if there's something working in an
area community, they can use it,
[6:57] put your own spin on it if you need to.
>> Have you talked to anybody the local
[7:00] business owners in Baltic yet or
>> I'm working on it.
[7:03] » I have good good
>> dual dual purpose shirts. We're mixing
[7:06] media too. We try not to stream the away
games for the school now or for ball
[7:11] basketball coming up, but yeah. I want
to get in front of all of them all of
[7:14] them with that too.
>> Sounds like you got a lot of hats.
[7:16] » Yes.
>> I have to feel the tag on what Lace
[7:19] thinks that having him come to Dog Days
meetings,
[7:23] it was refreshing to hear from somebody
who wants a cooperative effort instead
[7:29] of a competitive
>> Yeah.
[7:31] » effort between our communities. So, I
was I was really glad about him and that
[7:36] it is everybody working in
>> Have you met anybody from our economic
[7:41] development down here?
I'll probably I'll get I'll get you guys
[7:45] Yeah, no problem. I'll get this
information out. Pass it on to those
[7:49] guys, too. Yeah.
>> Yeah, I'm right now one of the big
[7:52] things I'm working in the economic side
is a leadership program. So,
[7:57] to spread it out and open it up here and
see if we can pull things together. If
[8:00] anybody that wants to take a
leadership program, we all split
[8:06] » That's fantastic. I mean, you guys have
a great idea. Yeah.
[8:09] » But unbeknownst to a lot of people,
we've been utilizing that under the
[8:15] surface for years.
Cuz anything I'm organized is probably
[8:20] been bounced off of
them before as well as all of the
[8:23] chambers. So,
>> It's great.
[8:25] No, thank you for coming down. I I love
it.
[8:28] » Yeah.
>> I think it's a win for everybody.
[8:31] » We'll answer any questions. You guys
have any thoughts or
[8:35] Yes, I said it's a high-level idea at
this point, but
[8:38] I know that the different chamber, even
as they transition a little bit, even
[8:42] though they're moving to a different
position, they're still on the board
[8:44] with trying to do this broader area.
>> Your chamber does have annual meetings
[8:48] up there right now, currently?
>> Yeah, they do.
[8:50] » They also They also do annual meetings
and stuff?
[8:54] » Yeah.
Yeah.
[8:56] » How often?
>> Once a
[8:58] » I'm good.
>> Like mixers?
[9:01] What do they do?
>> Yeah, I I started to do mixers. Uh we're
[9:04] trying to get that one started. I'm
hoping that actually is going to be able
[9:07] to do that once a month.
>> Yeah, yeah.
[9:10] » Is this a legal matter?
>> It's still slow going with that. We
[9:13] started with seven
people that showed up in June and we
[9:19] made up 15, 16 by August. So, in even
just the three months that more people
[9:23] show up. So,
>> Yeah.
[9:25] » Hopefully they keep that going.
>> Or is it a good place to find out when
[9:30] the next meeting would be and
the Our House Chamber dot com is the
[9:34] place to go.
>> They meet second Tuesday of every month.
[9:40] » You have a set place?
>> It is at River Community Church in the
[9:45] conference room at 6:30.
Yeah, we actually just had one last
[9:51] week.
>> Is it the second Tuesday of every month?
[10:04] That's right. That's what you got.
>> I'll get a hold of you guys from the
[10:06] economic development. I have to reach
out to you I think cuz they'd like to
[10:09] probably assault us.
>> Yeah, absolutely. I would imagine so.
[10:13] Fantastic.
Thank you.
[10:15] » Yeah, thanks.
>> I will follow up with you.
[10:19] » Thank you.
>> Thank you very much.
[10:21] » Um does anybody else have anything for
public comment?
[10:26] » Can I hear what process is when we have
wild creatures that we would like
[10:31] someone to get out of our neighborhood?
>> So
[10:35] » Do we have the right to call the city
hall? Do we
[10:38] » You You can. Um if it's
if it's like, you know, a cat or a dog,
[10:45] the Humane Society.
[10:48] Animal Yes, you call the animal control,
they'll come up here.
[10:52] Um
I know someone else in town told me they
[10:55] have a a bad mole problem in their
backyard.
[10:58] » I don't know. Must be the summer or
something.
[11:00] » Everybody's.
>> Yeah, so
[11:06] » How big are we talking again?
>> How big are we talking?
[11:10] » David said it's huge.
>> Really?
[11:12] » And it's about three times the size of
our cat.
[11:15] » Oh, jeez. This guy's big.
>> Yeah, I would call animal control and
[11:18] usually they can come up. They've got
people all around and whoever's closest
[11:22] they'll probably come up and we had a a
pretty sure it was a rabid raccoon that
[11:27] we called them about once. So
yeah.
[11:30] » They'll probably to trap it, won't they?
They they might, yeah.
[11:34] » They try to, though.
>> Yeah.
[11:36] I think Thank you.
>> Yeah.
[11:38] » You got it.
[11:42] » All right. So, moving on to old
business.
[11:45] Uh Baltic Legion
update there.
[11:50] » Hey, they don't have any memorial.
>> I'm on Mark Brand.
[11:53] » The Legion
>> The bell tower and the building.
[11:55] » This is the
>> Um
[11:57] Not a whole bunch of information you
guys don't know already, but I'll go
[11:59] ahead and I'll still put it out there.
Um
[12:02] we have our parking lot that's currently
a work in progress.
[12:06] Um
we had Noble Landscaping came out and
[12:09] helped the city. They ripped all that
concrete out. The city pulled all the
[12:12] weight for us, which was a huge huge
restriction. Um
[12:16] He put down some crushed concrete.
Um I believe our guy came out and
[12:21] sprayed water on it. Apparently, I don't
know a lot of Baltic crushed concrete,
[12:24] but even put water on it and it still
activates somewhat. This stuff is salt.
[12:29] » I did it up.
>> The honest I've been very upset about
[12:32] this because that's a temporary parking.
They're going to lose money if we don't
[12:36] put in permanent put an actual parking
lot in.
[12:38] » True.
Um
[12:40] We have
>> We have to finish that out of the 18.
[12:44] » More time and funds, more everything
really. Um
[12:47] US Concrete, which is Zachary Cody
Sunderman, uh poured all the concrete
[12:52] for us for the silo. As we have um
we also poured the base for our flag.
[12:57] Um our flag is on order. It should be
here within 3 to 4 weeks. Um it's a
[13:02] 35-foot flagpole we got from Maximum
Promotions.
[13:05] » Very nice.
>> It's supposed to be anodized. I think
[13:08] it's going to be used for the
>> It's kind of similar to the ones on the
[13:10] 21.
>> Um this one is different.
[13:13] » Okay, sure.
>> Um we were going to do the same the same
[13:15] model, but we got a special color, but
there's something else that they
[13:18] actually even faded and they can get it,
but the the big thing with those is the
[13:22] love.
>> The paint against it.
[13:24] » Yeah. And this is supposed to be a
better deal, apparently. It it longer.
[13:29] Um we'll go ahead and get some lights on
there. They
[13:32] uh I bet you know we'll at least put in
a second flag pole
[13:36] um for like the the the state flag um
and hopefully smaller flags for each
[13:41] branch of military. We'll still do the
civil war stuff. Again, that's another
[13:44] another phase down the road we have to
look at.
[13:47] Um we'll also hopefully be able to add
you know um the electricity at some
[13:51] point. Uh we got solar lights now to put
out um but they're you know they're
[13:56] they're nice lights but they're just
solar lights not hard lights. Uh we have
[13:59] to figure out where the electric is down
there. I don't know back by the bus stop
[14:02] and all that stuff back there.
There's a a block down there. I don't
[14:06] know
if the school owns that or the city owns
[14:08] that. I'm not sure.
>> We need to talk about that.
[14:11] » I think he might be
trying to steal it.
[14:14] » And if so, then we need to mention that
we'll plug into it. Um I talked to the
[14:18] electrician who said that for the LED
lights that we're putting out what we
[14:20] have down there would be like minimal
cost per unit.
[14:24] » Yeah, I'll be there.
>> They'd have to call the electric
[14:26] company.
Meter in will maybe not cost as much as
[14:29] to pay us more money but the meter in
cost of running it for 10 years would be
[14:32] Um yeah, we've got to figure that out
again where that has to come from. We're
[14:36] hoping to get that taken care of in
phase two along with pouring all the
[14:40] sidewalks around the the with the statue
garden so forth and so forth.
[14:44] » So it's going to be like a ring here?
How's that?
[14:46] » Yeah, it'll be like a like a half circle
circle.
[14:49] » Sure.
>> And eventually the next phase will be
[14:51] um enough folks can come together they
get a a big eagle based right now. It'll
[14:56] also go in phase two.
>> Uh back center?
[14:59] » Where is that going?
>> Yeah, it'll be right in front of the
[15:00] back center right in front of the flag.
>> So it'll be there.
[15:03] » That's That's marked down there if
anybody goes down there. I said the
[15:06] flagpole isn't there. There's something
down there.
[15:07] » There's a hole on the right now because
there's a big hole there. If you step in
[15:10] it you'll be
[15:14] Um
If you have any number
[15:17] I'll get back to you on this one. Uh so
what we're going to do is put an
[15:20] electric sign in. Um again, that's it's
all it's all to be on This is fine. It's
[15:25] everything is is incredibly expensive.
Yeah, we really support our community
[15:29] and from the female all the way down to
the business and down and from Zach to
[15:33] Courtney everyone's been really great
things for us to come. So we can't thank
[15:37] our community enough. Thank city
council, thank school board. Everyone's
[15:40] been a super supportive all come
together for this.
[15:43] Yeah, people want to
>> help you guys raise money, when's your
[15:47] next big bingo?
>> Our next bingo is
[15:50] in two weeks. So we'll be on the
[15:54] » What is on the Saturday night?
>> And the king has not been found.
[15:57] » Right. That's what's the pot at?
>> Uh 13,000
[16:01] 4100 something right now.
13,000 or so.
[16:07] Joker's both out.
>> So go to the go to Beat the Heat Bingo,
[16:10] buy a lot of tickets, bring all your
friends with, bring your kids, support
[16:15] the fire department.
Yeah, it is fun.
[16:18] » Um any questions?
>> For me
[16:20] on what we have going on right now.
>> It looks really nice but you wouldn't
[16:23] know that so far looks really nice. If
anybody hasn't seen it urge you to drive
[16:26] down there and take a look.
>> Yeah, it looks so nice on it. It's
[16:28] really nice looking.
>> Yeah, we're working on some things
[16:31] future. You guys going to put water in
it?
[16:34] » I don't know about that.
You'd have we'd have to that's not yet
[16:37] known.
>> Not yet known really.
[16:39] » Really not. We can't possibly at this
point. That's a whole another review.
[16:47] » Thank you Mark for coming in and
updating everybody. Appreciate it.
[16:50] » Thanks Mark.
>> You're welcome, Jamie.
[16:53] » All right, new business.
>> Business.
[16:56] » So first thing on the new business, so I
was council president and was stepping
[17:00] over to the mayor position. We need to
appoint a new
[17:04] uh council president of council.
Um
[17:08] So basically we're just looking for
somebody to nominate somebody for
[17:11] council president.
It's pretty pretty easy.
[17:15] » I make a motion to nominate Nikki human.
>> Perfect. Uh Uh we have first.
[17:22] » Second.
>> Awesome. All in favor?
[17:25] » I.
>> Fantastic.
[17:27] » Well, thank you. Congratulations.
>> Congratulations. Yeah, so that's
[17:31] and Nikki brings with her so much
experience cuz Nikki was on council in
[17:34] the past. She's probably she has more
experience than any of the rest of us.
[17:38] So um
>> I have a lot of questions.
[17:39] » I I ask her a lot of questions.
Spoke.
[17:42] » Just tell me about the old neighborhood.
[17:46] » Um planning and zoning. Um so Jake is
uh
[17:52] they purchased a house over in
Minnesota.
[17:54] Uh closer to home for him. So we have a
vacancy on the seat.
[17:58] Um so I would like to put Greg Johnson
forward
[18:01] uh for planning and zoning.
Greg, could you kind of tell these guys
[18:06] your uh professional experience, what
you what you do?
[18:09] » Sure. I'm a
went to the School of Mines and mining
[18:13] engineer. I've been in mining industry
for about
[18:15] For the last 5 years I've been working
on um with my company
[18:20] developing properties for industrial
development. So that's been a lot of
[18:24] getting involved with the community.
City planning and zoning boards and
[18:28] reading ordinances all the time and all
and
[18:32] you will see
see a lot of how that process will
[18:35] proceed.
>> I I feel Greg's got there. He's got
[18:40] experience. He understands the Florida
ordinances. I think he gives good advice
[18:43] to have on there. I always appreciated
what Ed Wilson did as planning and
[18:48] zoning president. He was very informed.
It's what he did for a living. So he had
[18:51] a good understanding of it and I think
Greg's got that same
[18:54] uh
skills.
[18:57] So I'd like to put him forward.
>> I'll make a motion to accept Greg
[19:02] Johnson on the planning and zoning.
>> I second it.
[19:08] » You got beat out.
>> Sorry.
[19:12] » All in favor?
>> You just cost me 100 bucks.
[19:19] » So
>> This is
[19:21] So the next thing Sikich isn't here, but
they sent us we need to pass a
[19:27] resolution
2025 05 for the transportation
[19:32] alternatives program grant application.
>> I can do something for that Sikich
[19:36] that's part of that is We're going to
have them working you have them in the
[19:39] conference room.
>> That's the next
[19:41] » Okay, never mind. You're right.
>> Sorry.
[19:44] So we just need to we need approval to
have
[19:48] Brian and myself sign for that for the
purpose of expanding the sidewalk along
[19:53] Lovely Avenue.
Um
[19:57] and committing to continue maintenance
and operation of the trail
[20:00] and committing to match of not less than
18.05%
[20:05] of the project
and that we will secure right-of-way or
[20:09] easements for construction.
Uh
[20:12] So now we just yeah, we just need
approval.
[20:14] » I'm just looking for approval for Lacy
and I to move forward with the TAP
[20:17] grant.
>> Is that the sidewalk on Lovely
[20:20] » 6th and 6th Ave.
6th Street.
[20:23] Yeah, and that's the one
>> No, no, this is for

>> This is for phase two.
[20:27] » Yes. Sorry. Yeah.
Yeah.
[20:43] » It's similar to that.
>> On 5th Street there's an existing trail.
[20:47] » Okay, so we're going to go Lovely Ave.
[20:51] Thank you. Appreciate that.
>> It's all about safe passage for kids.
[20:58] » I'll make the motion to approve the
sidewalk resolutions to the chair
[21:02] favoring and Mason.
>> I second it.
[21:05] » All in favor?
>> Aye.
[21:07] » You're pretty quick on that, Steve. You
didn't want to miss out again, did you?
[21:14] So, comprehensive plan.
[21:18] So, that the comprehensive plan that we
currently have is 2003 to 2025.
[21:24] We're going to start working at the
CCOG. They will work with, I believe in
[21:27] They were going to be here, but not
sure. I think but the way it believe it
[21:31] works, they work with planning and
zoning.
[21:35] And then from there it comes to council.
So,
[21:39] they did tell us it's a 9 to 12-month
process and they are finishing up a
[21:44] couple of other people's. So, it might
be a little delay before we start on
[21:47] matters.
We need to look at and everybody should
[21:50] kind of
take a look at your copy. If there's
[21:52] stuff that you guys think needs to be
changed, we kind of want to give
[21:55] everybody the input on that.
But,
[21:59] what I would like to do
to make sure we're covered is I'd like
[22:03] to get a motion to
continue our current plan
[22:10] until
new comprehensive plan is active.
[22:16] So, we don't have a gap. We're covering
that we are currently in We're in
[22:20] agreement that 23 to 25 plan would
continue until the new one is 100%
[22:26] active.
[22:33] You just want that so that we can say
that there's a current comprehensive
[22:37] plan? Yes. Yeah, but I don't want to
stop right
[22:40] realistically that would continue either
way. Yeah. But, I think it's better to
[22:45] have it set formally.
[22:49] So, I need a motion to I'm looking for a
motion to continue the 23 to 25 plan
[22:54] upon release of the next new current
plan.
[22:59] » I'll make a motion.
Who seconded?
[23:02] » Thank you. This first and then me.
>> I'll second that.
[23:05] » Second.
>> Okay.
[23:07] » All in favor?
>> Steve Scott.
[23:08] » Yes, I.
>> I.
[23:10] » I think you're too late.
>> Can I ask one question before the
[23:14] session ends?
>> Yeah.
[23:16] » Is there a cost associated with C-Town?
>> There will be.
[23:20] Do you know about what that is?
>> I don't yet.
[23:22] » I think I'll find that out for you. I'll
find out what that is.
[23:25] » We're just the Yeah, just gets started.
>> on that process yet, so
[23:28] » Yeah.
>> But I know that we want to look at it
[23:30] that
>> Oh, yeah.
[23:32] » We get so much a year though.
>> We do.
[23:35] » We have a membership that we pay, so
I'll find out because there's certain
[23:38] things that are included in that
membership.
[23:40] » like a discount maybe on
>> Maybe we get some free hours, don't we?
[23:43] » Yeah, we get some Yeah.
>> And then And they're going after the
[23:46] fact this trip's happening. Yeah. And
then the good news is I guess it does
[23:49] take them 9 to 12 months to work on all
this.
[23:51] » Yeah, actually you can So they started
that
[23:53] somewhat soon?
>> Well,
[23:56] » You know, we started this last November.
>> So we tried.
[23:59] » Cuz I've got it all done.
>> Yeah, we tried.
[24:02] We tried and they brought it up to Lacy.
>> that was the ordinance review.
[24:06] Wasn't that?
>> No.
[24:08] » Okay.
>> I don't think it was ordinance. I don't
[24:11] think it was
>> comprehensive plan.
[24:13] I don't know if I still have it. I
probably would say it was them.
[24:16] » Because they said on the phone didn't
they say that they started made an
[24:19] attempt to start?
>> Yeah, you're right. You're right.
[24:21] » And then it just went flat.
>> Mhm.
[24:23] » They just had other things going on at
the time, so
[24:26] But it was a
>> the next few months maybe.
[24:28] » Yeah.
>> We're trying to get them all
[24:29] » Yeah.
Yeah, and they they guided drove the
[24:32] whole part of it. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
[24:35] » Yeah, but I know it's really going to be
Absolutely.
[24:39] » Well,
>> Yeah.
[24:40] » It's kind of very
>> Yeah, we need to do that.
[24:42] » That's what he needs.
>> If he says it can take 9 to 12 months to
[24:45] update a comprehensive plan and so on.
>> I'm not surprised.
[24:48] » He says he expects that.
>> It's probably going to be a
[24:50] comprehensive plan for that's going to
last about 20 years, is that right?
[24:54] » Yeah, well that last one was 23 to 25,
or I'm sorry, 2003 to 2005.
[25:00] So, yeah.
So, we just drew out the lucky the lucky
[25:04] uh string, I guess, that we had to pay
for it under the ordinance.
[25:08] » And he said he does still have So,
this was back in '22, '23 that they
[25:13] started redoing it, and he still has it
all on a Word doc.
[25:17] So, he's got to start kind of a base
that he's sort of got some of it.
[25:22] » And
I don't think there'll be a lot of
[25:24] radical change and I think there'll be
some tweaking here and there
[25:27] um
that we that we just need to do.
[25:30] Right.
Yeah.
[25:35] It is great information they have in
there that will update population and
[25:38] growth and you know, it's a
it's good info to have.
[25:42] It's like
the city Bible.
[25:54] So, anyway.
[25:57] » Now, Brian, cuz I think I gave you a
copy.
[25:59] Or you were given
business 110 or 111 or 112, 113, 114,
[26:05] 115, and 116.
And then general offenses in 130. So, I
[26:11] I see that I had um
the most time on riot.
[26:18] » Are you talking about the ordinance
review?
[26:19] » Well, we did that.
>> Yeah, we did all that and turned it in.
[26:21] » Yeah, but what happened with that?
[26:26] I don't know the whole whole finding.
>> Yeah.
[26:28] » Total reporting.
>> Um Okay. Um this the next one is just
[26:32] kind of a an announcement. They're going
to do
[26:36] uh touch a truck in
in Baltic, which I'm super excited
[26:40] about, and I'm really surprised not many
people know what this is.
[26:45] Um but
I I hope it's okay that I'm talking
[26:48] about this. I I just wanted to let I
didn't know if we needed a permission to
[26:52] bring any of the equipment down there,
but they asked us to take part in it and
[26:57] I'm just so excited. So, it's on my
birthday, too.
[27:01] » Is something you're working on?
>> I used to do traffic games.
[27:05] » That's a job for the city.
>> Absolutely. You've been so good. You're
[27:07] awesome.
>> Yeah, so much fun.
[27:09] » So, basically this is like
different businesses or, you know, fire
[27:14] department, whatever brings their
equipment down, their trucks and um vans
[27:19] and stuff and then kids can kind of go
up in them and look around and stuff.
[27:22] And so, they asked us to bring those.
And adults.
[27:25] » We can go inside the squad cars as well.
[27:29] » So, yeah, I bought I bought I think like
500 little water emoji stickers and
[27:35] stuff to give to kids. And so, um
it's on October 20th. I think it's like
[27:41] 9:00 to 10:30 or 9:30 to 11:00,
something like that.
[27:44] » again, sir?
>> October 20th, my birthday.
[27:48] Don't don't forget.
>> Okay, so in the morning?
[27:50] » It's in the morning. Yeah. So, I don't
know.
[27:52] » After you know.
Yes. Maybe they'll have a coffee truck.
[27:56] » And that's from the city.
>> Huh?
[27:58] » What vehicles are we bringing down from
the city?
[28:00] » Well, Evan was like, "Oh, yeah, we'll
bring the loader." I was like, "Well, it
[28:03] doesn't say the city on it. Maybe we
should bring down the mosquito sprayer."
[28:08] » Or our next little stop
>> mosquito stickers.
[28:12] So,
>> Streets could bring up our name on it.
[28:14] » Oh, that. We could bring that out. Yeah,
that's a good idea.
[28:17] » Cool.
Somebody did that.
[28:21] » I can say a bowly for the street.
>> It is a bowly.
[28:23] » I can say a bowly for the street.
>> It looks like a zombie.
[28:25] » It's a street bowly.
>> Yeah, we're going to we're going to take
[28:30] part in that. So, I hope it's okay.
>> It's a street bowly.
[28:35] » Homecoming parade. Do you know the route
that we need to
[28:38] » as last year.
>> So, so we need
[28:41] » So, same as what they just did last time
around here, coming down the main road,
[28:44] looping around.
>> Yeah.
[28:46] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, we need an we need a motion to
[28:50] approve a road closure from
>> Fourth.
[28:54] » Is it Fourth? Yeah. Fourth
to
[28:56] » First.
>> First on Salem.
[28:59] » On Salem.
[29:03] And I like
>> Oh, yeah, I should probably
[29:06] » Yeah.
>> Um so, it's at 1:30 with line up at
[29:10] 1:00. So, can can we say like
>> 1:00 to 4:00?
[29:15] 1:00 to 1:00 to 2:30?
>> Okay. Yeah.
[29:18] » Yeah, I think that
>> It would have to be really really slow.
[29:22] » The pep rally's got to be done by
>> There you go.
[29:24] » 3:18.
>> Where's the pep rally at this year?
[29:26] » It'll be at the
at the old school.
[29:30] » We can't fit everybody in the old gym
anyway.
[29:33] They're fun.
>> I know. They are fun.
[29:37] » And that's why
>> It has to be done by 3:18.
[29:40] » Yeah.
>> That's when the bus is the bus is late
[29:41] for dismissal. So, like that's why I
parade after
[29:45] » be done by 3:00 cuz we got to do pep
rally. That only can only take so long.
[29:50] So, the slower the parade goes, the
faster the cheerleaders got to cheer.
[29:56] » Those little kids can get on that.
>> Yes, if you are what?
[30:01] » Exactly. It's fun.
>> That is Friday, September 26th
[30:05] um at 1:30. So, you yeah, just
>> They are we're taking the afternoon off
[30:09] to go to
>> They are they're fine.
[30:12] » Edward, do you know if um the request
for
[30:15] the elementary school being on sort of
trunk or treat got approved?
[30:22] Cuz that would be another day in the
>> I was wondering about that.
[30:27] » Okay. And maybe put in a
his paper
[30:29] » Yeah, things like that.
>> Yeah, that got to be good luck with you.
[30:32] Maybe
>> And I they pack them in. It's fun.
[30:36] » Yeah, it'll be fun.
>> It was three I mean, if they were last
[30:38] year. It was so much easier in the staff
paper again.
[30:42] » Well, for the kids, they didn't nobody's
running in out of the street here on
[30:44] that parking lot.
>> Yeah.
[30:46] And they have a good parking.
>> Yeah.
[30:49] » For the people that were coming just to
see the kids.
[30:52] » Yeah, and it was busy the whole time.
>> Mhm.
[30:55] » And just thinking now if we wanted to we
could honestly move it up to high school
[30:58] parking lot.
That one works just as fine, too.
[31:01] » That was great just having the
>> Who wants to do a
[31:05] » You did a great job last year.
I already ordered some stuff.
[31:09] » You would you would you would get
You got to get a second.
[31:11] » I second that.
>> You came in second.
[31:13] » They got to stop by and get their
picture.
[31:17] » So we need a
Yeah.
[31:27] So we just need a motion to do a street
closure from 1:00 to 3:00
[31:31] September 26th from Fourth and Lovely to
First and Lovely.
[31:37] » I'll make a
I'll make a
[31:40] » motion to close the street on September
26th between Fourth and Lovely and First
[31:46] and Lovely from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
>> Second.
[31:49] » Second.
>> Is that right?
[31:50] » Second.
>> Oh. I'm sorry.
[31:53] » I got the number.
>> I always say Lovely, too.
[31:55] » Yeah.
>> First and Saint Aloysius to
[31:59] Fourth and Saint Aloysius.
>> Saint Aloysius.
[32:01] » Why did I wrote down Lovely, too?
>> Might be my fault.
[32:05] » My fault.
[32:08] » So second?
>> Second.
[32:10] » Uh all in favor?
>> Aye.
[32:13] » Aye.
>> Aye.
[32:16] » All right, Lacy.
>> All right.
[32:18] So we had our budget prep meeting on
Friday.
[32:22] Um
>> So you know how to party.
[32:24] » Cuz we know how to party on Friday
night. We were winning.
[32:28] We had no one come. So no one else
wanted to party. But we've got um we've
[32:33] got the budget pretty well figured out.
Um we discussed things that we need to
[32:39] do for the next year, like um, some
campground things we'd like to do and
[32:44] and
some equipment we might need and
[32:49] I mean, I guess I could I should
probably tell you I can tell you what
[32:52] the difference is in the budgets from
last year to this year. Um,
[32:58] so last year our budget was 1,231
649. This year it's 1,317,220.
[33:07] Um, I can tell you that we were
well under budget in a lot of instances
[33:12] so far this year.
Um, we have we have a lot of room yet.
[33:16] So,
I might be guessing high on some of
[33:19] these things, but um,
with the increase in costs, I just don't
[33:25] want to end up over our budget. So,
uh, we've done really well saving money
[33:31] this year. So.
>> Great.
[33:35] That's what we want to hear.
>> Yes. And I can tell you too, so far this
[33:39] year we have earned $17,000 in interest
on our SD fit savings alone and we're
[33:46] only in August. Yeah.
It's been good.
[33:50] » Yeah, and Edward should have said
thank you for the 3.5%.
[33:58] » So, this is just the first reading of
ordinance 321. So, um, we will have to
[34:05] I suppose there's nothing to really vote
on yet, may till next Okay.
[34:11] Comments?
Questions?
[34:16] » Jumped in here.
>> Do you just have to read the ordinance
[34:18] or
>> No, I don't have to. Well, we just read
[34:21] it a minute. Yeah.
Yeah, and that's in packet, so
[34:25] » Oh, okay.
[34:29] » All right,
who's on?
[34:32] I'll start.
>> Uh, Jump to the main station
[34:36] improvements. Contract was sold.
[34:40] Yeah.
[34:43] Open ash
project has met final completion.
[34:47] Contract has completed all the punch
list items that were pending
[34:50] since the last meeting.
Pay application we are going to bring
[34:54] forward tonight will be the final pay
application. We just got to give a
[34:57] signature on that
for this meeting. So We're starting with
[35:00] the following.
I think we might be able to close out
[35:03] there. But again, everything is
completed on that one.
[35:08] I think we're done there.
Great.
[35:11] Now
main station improvements
[35:14] contract will continue as made. Progress
on the list station building.
[35:19] Mostly just again a few punch list items
left on the punch list items. And then
[35:23] there's a little bit of coordination
that needs to take place with XL getting
[35:27] power on to the building. How close do
you guys think you are on the old
[35:30] switch?
I would say we have no idea. You could
[35:34] the 80% I think we're tracking a little
bit ahead of time.
[35:37] » Yeah.
>> So
[35:39] Um just thinking things over to be about
>> Does that have its own backup generator
[35:42] system?
>> Yes, that's okay then.
[35:45] Um other than those couple electrical
items, it's just maybe a little bit of a
[35:48] switch over to that horse main and then
moving that building. Uh for the old
[35:52] main station that's all done. We're
good.
[35:54] » I don't think I'm done.
>> With that, I'm looking forward to the
[35:58] pay application number six getting
approved of $83,619.18.
[36:05] So we need a first for a pay application
payment
[36:10] of $83,619.18.
[36:17] » I'll make a motion to approve
>> Second.
[36:19] » the pay application
six for $83,619.18.
[36:25] » So do a first.
>> I'll second.
[36:27] Who has a second? All in favor?
I.
[36:30] » I.
>> I. Perfect.
[36:33] » And then, we'll have great hope we get
to talk about that a little bit. So,
[36:36] that phase one will work on finalizing
our scope of work with SDOT. So, as I
[36:40] previously noted, we'll have that
designed this winter. And then,
[36:44] construction is sometime sometime spring
sometime next year. So, once we get that
[36:48] finalized scope of work with SDOT, we'll
have some public engagement along there.
[36:53] All work will be approved. Anyway, uh
but there will be towards the drive this
[36:58] through there just to just try to make
sure that everybody's
[37:01] understanding what that project's going
to be and
[37:03] uh but we'll really be looking at the
that sidewalk along 6th um
[37:09] for that phase two which we just passed
as a good good ship or
[37:13] grant application for that phase two in
November first. And so, we'll work with
[37:17] the city now to try to get that to apply
for that grant application for that
[37:21] portion. Once we do that, they have a
decent uh should be back at the
[37:25] beginning of calendar year as far as the
timeframe on whether we're getting first
[37:29] with that sanction of um so, hopefully
we're we're going to be able to do that
[37:32] one do that project in 2027. So, that's
kind of about where we're at. We have a
[37:37] 26 on 6th and a 27 on 5th.
>> But yeah, I think the end of the year
[37:42] » Yeah.
>> So,
[37:43] um that'd be good. That's working out
fine. And it's wild what we're going to
[37:47] identify and needs in the community
where it's at once and will be useful.
[37:51] So, it'll be a slow solution and that
one will take a little while, but
[37:55] Great. Great. Happy from that aspect of
things.
[37:58] » So, you're pretty good about it?
>> For that phase two, they always said
[38:02] they like those phase projects. So, the
fact that we already cleared that first
[38:06] one uh last year if they'll really be
able to do this phase this is good to
[38:09] connect phase once we get that done. So,
So, that'll be good if we're getting
[38:15] that first. Yes. Yes. So,
yes.
[38:19] So, it's all good. We'll be able to get
there. We'll keep you guys updated.
[38:23] We'll see what we need to get. All
that's been done. I think we're almost
[38:25] done with my baby change order. You guys
bring that up.
[38:31] Uh
jumped to this stream improvements. That
[38:35] project as well has been substantially
completed. Uh
[38:39] Got that paving finished out and there's
still a little bit of grading through
[38:42] the ditches. Grading and grading and
grading.
[38:46] So, we're all squared away on that one
and then just finished out some grading
[38:49] through the ditches. And then I think
last week they
[38:52] touched up some spots that needed
additional seeding. So, again, we have
[38:56] substantial completion there. The only
thing that I'm holding on that is just
[38:59] retainage.
Once we want to see that seeding through
[39:02] a journey, make sure we're squared away
on that seeding. Other than that, we're
[39:07] » Question on that. You know, we did a
repairs on those
[39:10] What are the What What the What did they
have to do?
[39:13] Snow fencing. Back of the
snow fencing snow fencing snow fencing.
[39:17] Does that need to come down before snow
flies?
[39:20] Is that a Is that potentially Could that
potentially cause an issue on the road
[39:24] having that snow fence there all the
way?
[39:26] » The through the ditches there?
See what it
[39:29] » No.
>> No. They had a They had somebody with
[39:32] some concerns, so I figured I'd ask.
>> The big thing while I was saying
[39:37] I think
So, we do get establishment that's good
[39:41] enough. It's small. We'll have it pulled
out. But what I don't want is for them
[39:45] to
have establishment taking place with
[39:47] spring with their snow out in the
spring.
[39:50] Oh, I should know what that is.
Okay.
[39:54] So,
That's something we can have.
[39:58] Yeah, the guys watched it as well.
>> Yeah, exactly. That's one of the One of
[40:00] those things we monitor.
You know, something to talk to
[40:04] You guys follow the
That's getting that's all I have. So,
[40:08] » And then the last thing, this stream
ditch improvements. Um
[40:14] the application. Sorry, my bad.
Application number two in the amount of
[40:18] $10,600
to close
[40:21] Do we have a first on that?
>> I'll make a motion to approve pay
[40:26] application number two for $10,600
and 13 cents.
[40:32] » Nick, you have a first.
>> Second.
[40:36] » Steve, is there a two all in favor?
>> I.
[40:39] » I.
>> Just curious something. How do we come
[40:42] in on budget?
>> I believe that one is under budget
[40:46] value.
A few thousand dollars small budget, but
[40:48] we are
>> Good. Thank you.
[40:51] » Um and then that is street ditching
improvements. Talking a couple weeks ago
[40:55] with Kevin.
Sounds like there's concerns upon
[40:59] addition on fifth street just south of
Lovely across from the football field.
[41:04] Uh it sounds like that was getting
washed out with
[41:06] » Oh, yeah. Trench fishers out there.
>> Yep. Washed out with
[41:10] » Yeah, we've had several times where
we've run in.
[41:13] » Does any rock dislodge any means there?
What do you
[41:15] » Yes.
>> It We're going to have it reworked and
[41:17] regraded. There's a bunch of silt that
got washed down into it. Um
[41:20] we're going to have them install some
extra uh river rock through there, too,
[41:24] to just about eliminate the problem from
happening again.
[41:27] » Okay.
>> Um so, we reached out to 605 company
[41:30] since they've been doing some work
locally and we like you
[41:33] with the other projects the last couple
of years uh to get a quote from them
[41:37] um to do that work. And so, they sent us
over a quote for $4,495.
[41:42] Um essentially, they're just cleaning
out that ditch, uh all that additional
[41:46] silt, and then regrading it to just kind
of from that wide flow um
[41:50] to the south.
>> Do you guys know where we're talking
[41:51] about?
>> Yeah, it's right there between Lovely
[41:54] and
>> Yeah, right where that
[41:57] » the cul-de-sac has that pipe coming out
of the drainage. It's essentially going
[42:00] out, digging in, grading it, and then
we're going to have a standing water
[42:03] over there, too.
>> Now, one of the animals flood that
[42:07] » chips from the chips beyond washed out
of the storm sewer system.
[42:11] » And after that there,
>> right?
[42:12] » They washed out. We just put them down,
so to speak. that. So, that's where
[42:16] we're working at putting that at the end
of that. We want to hold the storm water
[42:19] in.
Yeah, that would be in there. That
[42:22] system that issue maybe solve it.
There's some efficiencies to this system
[42:26] now and it's more over there that we
have spoke about.
[42:30] What else can we order? Many excavation
orders. I'll show you the stairs now and
[42:34] then finish up down there. You know, you
have all of this
[42:39] We reviewed it and it's a better price
for where we developed small but
[42:44] She we got permission to lay down the
pipes.
[42:48] » We do.
>> Yeah.
[42:49] » Yep.
>> So, what is the maintenance like on
[42:52] that? Like after that's installed, is
there hopefully Yeah, hopefully we lower
[42:57] the maintenance to buy it. There's some
of that stuff in there. But, it's here
[43:01] once the chips that don't wash down
don't wash down. Just kind of like that
[43:05] thing especially when it's just having
that. Just get built up whatever it is
[43:09] 77 whatever it may be.
So, it's just kind of washing it like we
[43:12] did with this one. So, we don't foresee
an issue with that because
[43:15] we hear about how the future looks here
and stuff built up. It'll be going
[43:19] difficult there. You know,
It's a little bit of that aspect. Um
[43:25] making sure we have enough capacity for
it for any fall events and
[43:29] so much so that we're seeing that build
up. So, our tertiary storm jump water
[43:33] taking taking care of. So,
Hopefully that area that is not working
[43:37] for water to develop the floor of
service dump. So, we might not be so
[43:41] efficient
>> I talked to Ryan about it a few times.
[43:44] He talked about little patches but this
sounds more like a fix.
[43:47] You know, we're talking about just
putting some some different rock in
[43:50] there but the riprap that's going to
control it that's that's a big deal. You
[43:54] know,
And then it's done in done in this
[43:57] » 40 40 inches or two.
>> Yeah.
[44:01] » Yeah, so we need to vote on that and
approve that approve that.
[44:06] » I'll make a motion to approve the bid
for the street extension project from
[44:10] Builders for the 605 companies vote in
the amount of $4,495.
[44:16] » I second
>> I second it.
[44:18] » All in favor. All in favor.
>> Aye.
[44:22] » Steve, you got to get a faster
connection.
[44:24] » Yeah.
[44:28] Yeah, this the video keeps buffering and
I only catch like a third of what you're
[44:32] saying.
[44:36] » Public Works update. I have a Public
Works update tonight.
[44:39] I'd like to introduce Dusty Lau. Um we
interviewed for the Public Works Works
[44:46] Supervisor position. Um Nikki and Lacy
and myself sat in on those and and I
[44:52] felt really felt Dusty had the best fit
for us. Um
[44:56] Uh I'll just say a couple things about
your past.
[44:59] » He's he's coming to us with experience.
>> Uh my name's Dusty Lau. Uh
[45:04] I grew up in Lennox, uh joined the Army,
ended up in Flandreau for for about 9
[45:10] years. Uh worked for the city of
Flandreau for 2 years. Uh
[45:13] held one of the Public Works positions.
Uh I was water and waste water
[45:17] superintendent up there under the Public
Works Department.
[45:20] Uh so I came in with the snow removal uh
road construction plans, worked with
[45:26] lots of contractors and whatnot up
there. Uh
[45:29] moved out of Lennox cuz I wanted to move
back to my hometown.
[45:32] Uh worked in a waste water treatment
plant down there. Uh I actually love it.
[45:36] I'm not a office type of person sitting
in that plant all day. Kind of maybe get
[45:40] some fresh air and crazy.
This position opened up and this is kind
[45:44] of what I've always been looking for.
It's a Public Works position, especially
[45:49] in the supervisor or director role.
There's so many different aspects from
[45:53] the office side of it to the knowing the
codes and the water side of it, waste
[45:58] water. And it just kind of fit.
Everything uh grew up on a farm.
[46:02] Uh so I had to be proficient just about
anything mailman break.
[46:07] Uh so I can think on my toes, but yeah,
I
[46:10] really look forward to coming up here.
Uh so it's talking with you here a
[46:14] little bit and there's just yeah, some
of the things that I that I brought from
[46:18] other communities I went right here and
and take some of the things you guys
[46:21] know and kind of weave it together and
see what we can do.
[46:24] » I'll say that. I think a big plus too
with Essie having experience both in
[46:28] Flanders and Lennox he brings with him
um
[46:32] friendships and relationships in that
business. So for instance, if if there's
[46:36] a question, he's got a resource.
Which is huge. You know, we're small
[46:40] town.
We don't have a lot of city employees,
[46:43] but we have a nice network of people to
work with is huge.
[46:47] » That's one of my biggest things. I get
to seminars a year. I get one in
[46:51] February and I get one in September. And
the seminars are great. All these guys
[46:54] were out here at this last one. We spoke
on some projects.
[46:58] Uh but really comes down to the
networking. Uh
[47:01] everybody from my end I I've always left
a job on a great grateful note. Even up
[47:06] in Flanders when I gave my two weeks
notice they said, "Well, what are you
[47:08] going to work before the week is out?"
And I said, "I will work up until the
[47:12] day. In fact, I could call out on a
service call that night and finish up
[47:15] the the service call after everybody was
there." So so networking is good uh
[47:19] between Grant up in the city of Cullman
and Tanner up in Flanders
[47:23] uh calendar and in Lennox and and the
multiple other people I have that I call
[47:27] on. And I'm the person that I don't know
everything. But I I'll call around and
[47:32] I'll find out what that answer is.
So
[47:34] » And what's your kind of your favorite
snacks if people want to come down to
[47:37] the office?
[47:40] » Um I'm sucker for cheesecake and uh no
bake
[47:44] » All right, it's public. It's out there.
[47:47] » Let's see. I'll give you the 411 on
this.
[47:50] Someday come pay over here and give me
some of the homemade
[47:55] » Oh, it's going to be good too, I bet.
>> You didn't tell me that before.
[47:59] » You didn't tell us you like cheesecakes.
[48:06] » We're happy to get Dusty He get He
Out of our candidates, Dusty was the one
[48:11] that showed the most interest in wanting
to see what we have as a community in
[48:15] equipment and list stations, water
stations. He has the certifications, so
[48:19] it was just a it was a it's a great add.
He can jump right into the job and move
[48:22] forward. So
>> Welcome to the seat.
[48:25] » Yeah, I'm excited.
[48:27] » Um so long as we're talking about the
water works, can I throw something out
[48:30] there?
>> Yeah.
[48:30] » Okay. So, I'd like to get
Evan certified in water and sewer. We
[48:35] kind of talked about it. I think we need
to redundancy in some of that.
[48:38] I think it'd be uh we need to find out
some costs, what it takes.
[48:43] » It's actually in his
job description to get it within a year.
[48:47] » Oh, wait. I missed that.
>> We probably missed
[48:51] » So
>> distribution and water and waste water
[48:53] collections.
>> Yeah.
[48:55] » first one is there's about eight classes
in a year so
[48:57] » He can perfect so we need to look into
getting him signed up.
[49:00] » Yeah.
>> I'll get that.
[49:03] » And then
anybody from the Chesterfield area,
[49:05] please.
[49:13] » What's the question?
>> What's that?
[49:16] » I can't hear nothing.
[49:20] The video keeps buffering. I can't hear
nothing.
[49:22] » I said uh at this point if there's
uh Oh, I'm sorry. I actually skipped
[49:27] one.
>> You skipped me.
[49:28] » I skipped Lacy. I'm going to go
backtrack here and do the finance
[49:30] officer update.
>> All I All I really have I was just going
[49:34] to say so far um through the end of
[49:40] Stand by. Through the end of August, we
have
[49:44] uh we have earned 252,002
[49:48] 252,265
[49:52] dollars in sales tax,
um
[49:54] which is ahead of a lot of towns our
size like Alcester, Canistota,
[49:58] Centerville, Colton, Humboldt, Valley
Springs, Worthing. So, we're doing
[50:02] really good on sales tax this year.
Um
[50:05] » Yeah.
It's that extra step to stop in town and
[50:09] spend money rather than run to Sioux
Falls. It does make a big difference.
[50:12] » It does.
It does. So.
[50:15] Well, the gas isn't cheaper there.
>> Nope.
[50:17] » So.
>> Nope.
[50:19] » These are just buying beer and stuff.
>> And actually my
[50:25] My parents always get gas when they come
see us cuz they say we have the cheapest
[50:29] gas around.
So, they always fill up at the Classic
[50:32] Corner. So, little plug there.
[50:40] That's all I have really other than this
budget stuff. So, my brain's kind of
[50:43] mush.
>> Yeah, you've been busy. You're doing a
[50:46] great job on this budget. So,
>> And um
[50:50] does anybody have anything for council
mayor update? I have nothing. Have we
[50:54] covered everything? I would like to do a
quick executive session
[50:58] and um
Who wants to call it? I must be the
[51:01] caller in a zoom.
[51:04] » I did make a motion to go into executive
session at 7:51.
[51:08] » Perfect.
[51:13] » We need a second for that or not?
>> I'm supposed to be the second. Okay. All
[51:17] right.
>> Do you have to say out loud?
[51:25] » Need to call you, Lacy?
>> I don't know. Am I in it?
[51:29] » No.
>> You want me to
[51:32] » Council mayor update.
>> Yeah.
[51:34] » So, this is just
a option, right? For signs for the fire
[51:38] city hall.
It's big, right?
[51:42] It's also a
maybe a little bigger ticket than I was
[51:45] thinking.
Um
[51:46] who designed it? Make it mine out of
Mitchell. So, they in put it up and all
[51:51] these they wanted 4,000 on this and
[51:56] If you guys are okay with it, great.
We'll do it. If you if you'd like and I
[52:00] kind of think I'd like to get
another option
[52:04] maybe around like the 3 grand mark so
that we could get
[52:07] I you know what I mean? I just I hate
I don't I hate spending money.
[52:11] » It isn't a lot of money.
>> And to be honest, you would our clients
[52:15] like playing hands and Sioux Falls too.
>> Yeah, you sure could. Yeah.
[52:17] » I can take that
>> Yeah.
[52:19] » I can take that and ask them to email
>> right now.
[52:21] » I can ask them what that same thing
would cost.
[52:23] » Yep.
I think maybe
[52:27] something just a tick smaller maybe.
>> Sure.
[52:30] » I mean, I kind of like the big and bold
and we're proud of who we are, right?
[52:34] But
>> You don't like my sign on the door?
[52:36] » I love your sign. Actually, he does
everything around here. Fully making
[52:39] signs on the doors.
[52:43] But, it's an option. It's just something
we can discuss as we go along.
[52:46] Especially since actually he put those
super fancy signs up there.
[52:49] » Well, it's good that we looked at that.
>> Yeah.
[52:51] » You know.
>> Absolutely.
[52:52] » More information is better than not
enough.
[52:54] » Yeah.
>> I can also reach out to
[52:57] Ace
in Sioux Falls jerk as well.
[53:02] Yeah, it's the same as well.
>> Ace signs.
[53:04] » Yeah, I remember who did our signage in
Sioux Falls too.
[53:07] » Yeah.
>> The reason I thought make it mine is
[53:09] they did our sign out here.
>> Yeah.
[53:11] » And I will say they did a great job. I
literally called them on Friday at 7:00
[53:14] a.m. I was Saturday they were out there
measuring that sign.
[53:17] Make it mine and he said forever.
>> Yeah, make it mine used to do our Candy
[53:22] Cloud Factory shirts.
>> Oh, sure in Mitchell.
[53:25] » They were amazing products. They were on
the They spent Yeah.
[53:28] » Scott used to drive by there every day.
>> Yeah, he bring them out to us. Great
[53:32] service, great product, really
expensive.
[53:34] » Yeah. But
>> it was it was worth it.
[53:37] » Oh, yeah.
>> At the time. Then we moved to Sioux
[53:39] Falls and everything was a little bit
cheaper.
[53:41] » They threw that sign up out here with no
zero
[53:44] » Yeah.
>> I
[53:45] » That's nice.
>> And hopefully we don't have another
[53:48] great show come.
>> No, I'm good.
[53:52] You know what else we didn't have?
A square minute.
[53:55] » What's that? Oh, yeah.
>> Right.
[53:58] » You didn't get a square minute, did you,
Travis?
[54:00] » We need a square minute for the ENB.
We got it. We can do it at the next ENB
[54:04] meeting.
Well, then if we don't if we do it now
[54:07] then we don't have to do it then.
>> Yeah, that's a good idea.
[54:09] » I gave it to him. Right here.
>> All right.
[54:13] » There's a test in this show.
>> There's a test. There's a test.
[54:17] » All right.
