1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,480
we have any other choice. Now, before I

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,480
turn this over to the council, Mr.

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,240
Fuller, do you have any comments on that

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,880
at all with the action that we need to

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,880
take?

6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,320
>> No.

7
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,839
>> Okay. Uh our our attorney Lyall Fer says

8
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:18,080
we can move forward. Council, you have

9
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:20,160
this in your packet. You're aware of the

10
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,840
uh situation. Uh, this subject will be

11
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,680
discussed later in this council meeting,

12
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,960
but at this point in time, I would

13
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,880
entertain a motion to take action on

14
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,599
these bids.

15
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:33,680
>> May I'll make a motion that we at this

16
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,480
moment reject the accepted bids on the

17
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:39,200
new water tank construction.

18
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,480
>> Reject all of the

19
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:41,680
>> reject all bids.

20
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,200
>> Is there a second?

21
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,960
>> I'll second it.

22
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,000
>> Any questions, comments? just a comment

23
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,800
and uh if you'll clarify for me and for

24
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,399
our uh community, we're not rejecting

25
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:56,239
the grant.

26
00:00:56,239 --> 00:00:58,320
>> Uh we're not we're not putting that in

27
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,520
jeopardy. We're we're only rejecting the

28
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,119
bids until we can uh talk about a

29
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:06,320
different solution.

30
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:07,200
>> Correct.

31
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,520
>> Thanks for that clarification. Correct.

32
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,920
We we are going to try to do anything

33
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,600
imaginable to retain this grant.

34
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,040
Correct. Thank you, Mr. Dodge. Yep.

35
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,320
>> Okay. I'll uh take a vote to reject all

36
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:29,109
bids. Terry Larson.

37
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:29,520
» Hi,

>> Brent Dodge.

41
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,000
>> Okay, thank you. All bids have been

42
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,720
rejected. Uh we do have a representative

43
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,040

Help us out here. Would you please come

48
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,759
>> When you get there, hit the red button.

49
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:53,840
Good. We've got a new mic that I think

50
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,320
will be much much better if you'll get

51
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,280
it right up there.

52
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:57,680
>> Okay.

53
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,399
>> Thank you.

54
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:00,240
first and foremost, Mayor

55
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Council. Thank you for letting us come

56
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,159

Coulter. uh he is viewing online. Uh he

58
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:10,080
could not be here. So he he sends his

59
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,440
regards and his apologies for not being

60
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,000
able to be here. Um but yes, to answer

61
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,920
your question, mayor, yeah, at this

62
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,680
point, the council has made this

63
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,760
decision to reject all bids, so we can

64
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,920
go ahead and and send out notices to all

65
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:23,760
of the contractors

66
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,000
um to to let them know of that.

67
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,599
>> So you will take care of that then?

68
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:28,560
>> Yes. Yep.

69
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,760
>> Okay. Um,

70
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,840
I'm I might be getting a tiny bit ahead

71
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,160
of oursel, but

72
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,480
I'm going to hope and assume maybe that

73
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,560
you will let them know that we're

74
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,040
looking at other options to possibly

75
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,080
rebid. Correct?

76
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,640
>> Yep.

77
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,120
>> Okay. Any questions for Jared?

78
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,400
>> That was going to be my question. You

79
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,599
just asked him, so thanks.

80
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:51,599
>> Okay. Thanks, man. Appreciate that.

81
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:52,319
>> Thank you.

82
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:55,280
>> Okay.

83
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,760
Next on the agenda, water line

84
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,760
connection. Robert Miller, 12:05 West

85
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,080
Highway 36.

86
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,480
Bob or Pat, if you don't mind, thanks

87
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,800
for being here. Would welcome. Come on

88
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,239
up and tell us. I'm a little bit uh more

89
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:13,599
than a little bit. I'm shocked that you

90
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:17,440
don't have city water. So, uh tell us

91
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,360
the story.

92
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,640
Thanks for coming again.

93
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,800
>> Well, thanks for putting us on the

94
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,480
agenda. Uh we uh were

95
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,159
uh when we moved here about 50 years

96
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:36,159
ago, we were in the county and we built

97
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,000
our home.

98
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,400
Uh Chris, I don't know if you know where

99
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,120
our house is. Okay. I think everyone

100
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,720
else does. Um so we were in the county

101
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,480
and um we drilled a well

102
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,159
and it was um it was adequate you know

103
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:57,200
it was adequate for our needs and then a

104
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,840
few years ago we

105
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,640
uh became part of the city so we're now

106
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,720
uh city residents. I don't know how many

107
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,080
years ago that was but we would sure

108
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,239
like to have a city water

109
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:15,120
>> Bob. So, are you saying that the the

110
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680
city annexed you and to the city? I

111
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,150
thought you were always in the city.

112
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,040
» I didn't think so, Dan. I thought we

113
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,840
were in the county and then we were

114
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:31,040
annexed in at a later date.

115
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080
>> But you never applied for annexation.

116
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,400
>> Not that I remember.

117
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,000
>> Pat, help us out here. She's going to

118
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,880
rescue you, Bob.

119
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,919
>> Oh, good. Here comes it. I'll just step

120
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:43,840
aside.

121
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:44,720
>> Sorry.

122
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,600
>> No, thank you.

123
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,160
>> So, when we bought the property, I came

124
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,919
in before we bought it and I was

125
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:53,199
guaranteed a water hookup and um then

126
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:55,759
when it came time we built the house and

127
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:58,240
everything, we were denied. I'm not

128
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,320
going to go into that. But so then we

129
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,400
had no choice but to drill this well.

130
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,520
So, we did. Then Arlene Nash contacted

131
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,160
me 20 years later, 15 years later,

132
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,039
whatever it was, right before she quit,

133
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:13,440
and she said, "We're going to," I think

134
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,720
it was when they put in the bluff, the

135
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,199
>> Blair River Blair. And she said, "We're

136
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:21,520
going to annex that and we'll annex you

137
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,680
and you'll be up for city water." And I

138
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,919
said, "I don't want your water." I was

139
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:30,800
ticked, you know? I mean, I Yeah. So I

140
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,960
said, "No, don't annex me. I don't want

141
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,840
that. So then then we we decided, well,

142
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,360
we've been on a couple of missions and

143
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,400
we're gone. And it would be nice to know

144
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,840
that we don't have to have somebody come

145
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:45,280
in and check and make sure the wells

146
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,520
running and everything else. It just be

147
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,639
easier on ever the family while we're

148
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,160
gone if we had city water. So then I

149
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,360
came in and and um Linda AOK said,

150
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,800
"Well, I think you're already in the

151
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,800
city." And I said, "We are?" And she

152
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,160
said, "Yeah. and she contacted Chris and

153
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,319
he said, "Yeah, they've been paying city

154
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:07,759
taxes for quite a while." I said, "Well,

155
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:09,120
if I'd have known, I'd have been voting

156
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,479
on in the city." So, cuz we haven't ever

157
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:14,880
voted on the city elections cuz we

158
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,479
thought we were in the county.

159
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:17,360
>> Interesting. Okay.

160
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,759
>> Yeah. So, it's been kind of a mess. All

161
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:22,160
a mixup, let's say.

162
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,240
Well, and I don't want to make this too

163
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,039
personal, but I remember exactly when

164
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:28,800
you came to town and when you built your

165
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,680
house and when you uh uh got your

166
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,800
business financed. So, you've been good

167
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,880
solid members of the community. But,

168
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,319
council, do you have any questions for

169
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:40,800
the Millers on this situation?

170
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,160
>> I don't have any questions for the

171
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,720
Millers particularly, but do you know

172
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,919
where the where would you hook up or

173
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:48,720
where do we hook up?

174
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,000
>> We'll have Sean talk about that.

175
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,440
>> Okay. Okay. You're getting to that.

176
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,319
>> Yeah, if that's okay.

177
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:53,919
>> Okay. Yeah. Perfect.

178
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:56,639
>> Um, let let's see what Oh, go ahead.

179
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:00,639
>> Here's why you have a good wife.

180
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:03,039
>> You know, I I can just stand here and

181
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:06,319
try to look intelligent. You know,

182
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:08,160
take over. You're not telling me

183
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,039
something I haven't known for years.

184
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:12,720
>> Why don't you folks have a chair and we

185
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,880
will discuss this. Okay. Thank you very

186
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,360
much. Sean, would you please come up and

187
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,440
tell us uh uh the logistics and what the

188
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,360
situation is on this?

189
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,919
>> Yes. Uh so the water line uh stops on uh

190
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:33,360
on on street about uh 600 ft uh east uh

191
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,280
and on the north side of the road from

192
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,759
the Miller property. Um so in order to

193
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:41,599
get them a a connection, it's not simply

194
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:43,440
just purchasing a connection and and

195
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:49,360
doing that. it's actually extending the water line through. Um, with that

196
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,240
being said, if the city were in the move

197
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,479
for a big project, I would like to get

198
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:56,160
that water line looped all the way down

199
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,160
to the bluffs because the bluffs

200
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,440
actually comes in from the industrial

201
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,680
park and uh cuts through a field and

202
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,199
then that's how it uh connects into that

203
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:04,800
subdivision. So, it's it's not looped,

204
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,400
it's just a big long dead end. Um,

205
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,840
that's a bigger project probably though

206
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,520
than what we're looking at here. So

207
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,120
again, at the very minimum though, it's

208
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,680
uh 600 ft of water line uh main line

209
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,639
that would have to be extended out uh to

210
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:20,879
the west.

211
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:23,280
>> So as far as you know, the existing

212
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,840
water line on Onida Street is a 6-in

213
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,720
line.

214
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,319
>> That's my understanding. Correct.

215
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:29,680
>> And so help us with the

216
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,680
>> our current code. Uh we're required to

217
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,279
put everything in at least an 8 inch.

218
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:34,479
That's the minimum.

219
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:36,000
>> Okay.

220
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,279
And the line runs on the north side of

221
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:40,800
Highway 34. Correct.

222
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,760
>> That's correct. So, um, even if the line

223
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,839
was there, uh, they'd have to, uh, the

224
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:47,120
millers would have to bore under the

225
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,880
road, uh, or or work with the state. I'm

226
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,480
sure the state would make them bore it,

227
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,880
uh, in order to get that, uh, across the highway.

228
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,800
>> So, is the city under any obligation to

229
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,440
provide them water? I didn't know about

230
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,680
the annexation issue with Arlene. of

231
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:07,440
>> typically if someone is annexed into the

232
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,600
city, that's an an issue that is not

233
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,320
ignored,

234
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,480
>> right? This is kind of a an odd

235
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,240
situation. So, I wasn't aware of

236
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,760
everything that happened with how that

237
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,360
went down with the the annexation when

238
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,680
they were brought into the city. Uh that

239
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,040
being said, if we were to um if the

240
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,080
miller were to come to us now and say,

241
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,240
"Hey, I want to build a house here." Uh

242
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,800
we'd say, "Okay, that's fine. Uh you're

243
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,000
going to have to extend the water line,

244
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,320
though." if they were coming in today

245
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,560
and and that would be on them to do that

246
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:39,760
uh as opposed to the the city.

247
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,990
>> Any questions for Sean?

248
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,920
What's your Sorry, Sean. Stay there.

249
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,399
What's your recommendation? Do you uh

250
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:52,560
dare tip your toe in the middle of this?

251
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,560
>> Well, like I said, if I had my my

252
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:56,399
choice, I would like to see that water

253
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:59,519
line extended anyway. Um, I think it's

254
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:02,160
uh definitely something that we need to

255
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,920
do in the future uh to say the very

256
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,440
least to get it extended out to all the

257
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,600
way to the Bluff Sloop to get that uh

258
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,680
looped into the the water system.

259
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:11,680
>> Now, now there's a provision in our code

260
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:14,880
as I recall that if there is a residence

261
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,120
within a,000 ft of water line, the city

262
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,839
is required to supply them water. Am I

263
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:21,120
correct in that or

264
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,720
>> they're required to hook up?

265
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:22,959
>> Okay.

266
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:24,560
>> Um so we would we would say yeah, you

267
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,399
need to hook up as opposed to drilling a

268
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,640
well. Again, this is kind of an audit

269
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,000
situation where some things have

270
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,279
happened in the past that have made it

271
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:32,800
so it's not just straightforward.

272
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,320
>> Okay, I understand that and I'm going to

273
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,560
keep going here. So, even though they

274
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,760
are required to hook up, uh I would

275
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,120
assume that they would be subject to the

276
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,320
connection fee.

277
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:44,640
>> Correct.

278
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,600
>> I mean, okay.

279
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,519
>> Yeah. Any uh new connection, you've got

280
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:49,760
to pay the connection fee. And so, um

281
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,600
they would be subject sub excuse me,

282
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,320
subject to that at this time. Um and

283
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,519
that would be just the standard

284
00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:57,760
connection fee. um which is I believe

285
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,440
$9,000.

286
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,720
>> Council,

287
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,880
>> my question is for Sean or maybe even

288
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,120
Scott can answer this with no

289
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,600
institutional knowledge. We're talking a

290
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,320
minimum of 600 ft of mainline.

291
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,200
>> Correct.

292
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,519
>> How much would that cost?

293
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:18,079
>> Scott, come up, please.

294
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:19,040
>> He's prepared,

295
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,630
>> you know.

296
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,640
All right. So, I talked to Facers about

297
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,839
this

298
00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:31,760
>> um for 600 feet and I just had them do 6

299
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,920
in mainline

300
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,880
and that would be $56,745.

301
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,079
>> Say it again.

302
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:46,069
>> $56,745.

303
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:47,519
» That's not a bid. That's just an

304
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:48,320
estimate. Correct.

305
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,560
>> It's an estimate. Yeah.

306
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,560
>> Okay. That would you

307
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:54,480
>> That is just your question. Correct.

308
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,630
Yeah. And that's painful.

309
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,000
» Any other questions for Scott?

310
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,600
>> What it would be if it was an 8 in

311
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,760
extended out there? How much that cost

312
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,800
of the pipe? It' probably be

313
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,040
my guess it would be close to $5,000

314
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:16,550
more for 8 in

315
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:21,200
spot would how far is it in theory from

316
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,839
potentially where the miller's line

317
00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:27,760
would go from there to Bar River Bluffs?

318
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,959
Is that another I mean 2,000 ft? I mean

319
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:32,160
yeah just give me

320
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,399
>> I don't think it'd be that far but

321
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,440
probably roughly 1500 feet.

322
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,480
Okay.

323
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,480
>> I mean, this looping project that Sean

324
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,920
describes, I understand it, but that's a huge that's a budget breaker.

325
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,560
That's something we got to plan for uh

326
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:54,710
out of budget. Um

327
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,680
» well, if we ever plan on right, it would

328
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,560
be best to go with an 8 in line at that

329
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,560
point. But if we're just going to extend

330
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:05,920
and dead end it, you could go dead end

331
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,639
it and put a fire hydrant on the end as

332
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:13,030
well. So,

333
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,560
» okay. Any other questions?

334
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,560
>> Bid does include the fire hydrant on the

335
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,360
end as well. So, that would benefit them

336
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,959
as well.

337
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:22,160
>> Okay. Thank you.

338
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,000
>> I have questions for Lyall.

339
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,750
>> Ly, please come up. Thank you.

340
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,200
My main question is um that maybe Lyall

341
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,639
can answer. I've done a little bit of

342
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:36,240
research on this, but I'm not sure if

343
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,839
I'm accurate. Idaho code does obligate a

344
00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:43,519
city to provide utilities if when where

345
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:44,880
feasible.

346
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,760
>> Uh our city code says within 1,000 ft

347
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,440
the resident should has to hook up. I

348
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,800
think 1300 I think.

349
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,839
>> I think it's code 50-301

350
00:13:55,839 --> 00:13:58,160
or 18. I mean that it talks about

351
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,360
utilities that were obligated to provide

352
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,920
sewer and water.

353
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,399
>> If if we have a system, you don't have

354
00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:08,320
to have water and sewer, but if you do,

355
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,240
then you try to serve the people in the

356
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:10,560
city.

357
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,639
>> My question is, does that code extend to

358
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:14,320
the fact that then the city should

359
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,320
extend that mainline for this city

360
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,550
resident at our cost?

361
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,680
I I would have said yes before hearing

362
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,600
about the annexation stuff tonight and

363
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,120
I'm not sure what happened with the

364
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:29,600
annexation

365
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160
>> and that was new to me but if I throw

366
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,839
that in the mixing bowl in my opinion

367
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:38,880
when the city was the applicant to annex

368
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,199
them they should have given them water.

369
00:14:41,199 --> 00:14:44,240
Now I realize Mrs. Miller, you said no.

370
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,000
But that's when I would have looked at

371
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,199
you and said, "You're getting it

372
00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:49,120
anyway."

373
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,839
I think the city missed their obligation

374
00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:55,199
then, to be honest.

375
00:14:55,199 --> 00:14:58,240
>> Yeah.

376
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,880
>> And to me that when it when you were the

377
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,040
applicant for annexation, there's some

378
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,519
different rules. If we are the applicant

379
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:08,320
and we annex, I think then that

380
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,480
obligates us to provide the services we

381
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,519
have.

382
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,279
>> Yeah. to reference what Sean said

383
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:14,720
earlier. You know, if they were coming

384
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,440
in new with a bare piece of ground and

385
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,040
building a home, the cost would be on

386
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,600
them,

387
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,000
>> right?

388
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:20,399
>> Properly

389
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:21,199
>> extend the mainline

390
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:22,800
>> to extend the mainline, but that's we're

391
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,600
in a different odd odd duck situation.

392
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,120
>> But I'm sure you guys don't want to

393
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,829
spend $56,000.

394
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:34,160
» I Yeah, I did. I didn't think it would

395
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,440
be that high.

396
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,360
>> Mr.

397
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,120
I would uh maybe just take a

398
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,600
add to what Councilman Thomas has said

399
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,760
and maybe get the attorney to review

400
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,759
this, but there seems to be some

401
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:52,480
verbiage in uh our municipal code

402
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,350
13.72.020

403
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,480
and it says for any property annex to

404
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,199
the city from and after the adoption of

405
00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:06,720
this ordinance which is number 20115. So

406
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,279
this was dated in 2017.

407
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:12,000
There's some steps that we need to take.

408
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,120
Number two says this says if the city

409
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,519
annexes property to the city without the

410
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:19,360
consent, permission or request of the

411
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,560
owner, which would be this case here,

412
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,240
then the owner of said property shall

413
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,920
not be required to transfer shares of

414
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,639
water to the city upon annexation.

415
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:30,560
However, prior to development, and this

416
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,920
is where it maybe gets a little bit

417
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,839
fuzzy, but I thought this was

418
00:16:33,839 --> 00:16:37,839
interesting. Number seven says this

419
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:40,639
says there is hereby established a fund

420
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:42,959
within the budget of the city to be

421
00:16:42,959 --> 00:16:46,160
hereafter named the water acquisition

422
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,839
fund.

423
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:50,720
Um said fund shall be used to receive

424
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,800
funds from developers of annexed areas

425
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,759
and for the acquisition of water for the

426
00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:00,800
city and its inhabitants and to expand

427
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,720
and upgrade the water system for

428
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,160
extensions to annexed areas.

429
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,280
So,

430
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,559
>> I'm wondering what the balance

431
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:12,319
>> we have said I'm wonder.

432
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:16,640
>> You know what the balance is, Kelly?

433
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,240
>> 26,000.

434
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,360
>> Okay. We've only had one applicant for

435
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:24,160
annexation in my time here and that that

436
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,760
the money that's in that fund would have

437
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,120
been from that applicant.

438
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:29,919
>> Apparently, there's a money in a bucket

439
00:17:29,919 --> 00:17:30,400
for

440
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,190
>> that would go toward this

441
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:35,760
Well,

442
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,919
>> so that changes the cost to the

443
00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:39,760
>> I appreciate you bringing that to my

444
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,600
attention, Councilman Dodge, and I'll look at that

445
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,480
>> ordinance in further further detail.

446
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,440
>> Kelly, how difficult would it be to get

447
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,120
the exact amount of money that's in

448
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:52,320
there? Would you go check on that,

449
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,559
please? Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Dodge,

450
00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:58,480
for bringing that up. It's uh

451
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,400
But you do remember that, Mr. Thomas?

452
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:00,960
>> Yes.

453
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,679
>> Okay. Okay.

454
00:18:01,679 --> 00:18:03,600
>> I had actually forgotten about the water

455
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,200
acquisition fund. You know, that's been

456
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,280
there forever. Usually not had much in

457
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,200
it and we would use it to buy shares of

458
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,640
secondary water on occasion. But in my

459
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,160
I'm just going to say guys, in my

460
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,760
opinion, I think we ought to approve

461
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,160
this application. The Millers would be

462
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,360
responsible for the connection fee. And

463
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,200
I I think this is under the city

464
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,120
umbrella of obligation to provide a

465
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,440
service to a city resident and we can

466
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,600
use the water acquisition fund to cover

467
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,799
about half the cost of that.

468
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:35,360
I'm going to it's not in the form of a

469
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:37,120
motion yet. I'd like to hear what Kelly

470
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,440
comes back with, but I support this.

471
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,000
>> Okay.

472
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,880
>> On those reasons.

473
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,240
>> Thank you for that. If it's all right.

474
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,240
Terry, can you hear us? All right. Do

475
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,520
you do you want to comment on this?

476
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,080
So, I just one question. Um, so the

477
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,919
people speaking from the mic, it's a

478
00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:55,440
little bit broken, but I'm getting most

479
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,480
of it. So, uh, Scott said that the the

480
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,280
bid or the cost to extend

481
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,679
that water line

482
00:19:05,679 --> 00:19:08,480
um, 600 ft would be about what was it

483
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,679
57,000.

484
00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:10,240
>> Yes.

485
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,000
>> Is that is that a bid to extend? Is that

486
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,280
labor and everything or is that just

487
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:17,919
pipe?

488
00:19:17,919 --> 00:19:20,080
>> And that's 6 inch pipe.

489
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,240
>> It's an estimate and it's all inclusive.

490
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,160
>> Okay, that was I wasn't sure if that was

491
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,400
materials only or if that was materials

492
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,320
and labor. And then um so that answers

493
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,080
that question. I guess

494
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,120
my other my other concern is and I hate

495
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,799
I mean it's it's dumb to hook six to

496
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:45,120
eight, but I believe we have an

497
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,480
ordinance that says any new mainline has

498
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,799
to be 8 in.

499
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:53,039
Uh

500
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:56,640
yeah, we'd be going from 6 to 8, but is

501
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,320
there something that we need to do or

502
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,600
we're in ordinance that any mainline has

503
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,520
to be 8 in? And now we're talking that

504
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,720
the city itself is going to put 6 in in.

505
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,400
You know, maybe that's a question for

506
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,480
Lyall. Seems like a little bit of a

507
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,280
sticky a sticky situation there where

508
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,440
we're requiring developers or stuff like

509
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,679
that to put in eight, but then we like

510
00:20:19,679 --> 00:20:23,360
to put in six. So maybe maybe we could

511
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,360
discuss that or get an answer somewhat

512
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:28,950
to that.

513
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,919
» Can I can I throw one more in the mix?

514
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:34,720
We've had two two comments from our

515
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,039
public well from our staff that

516
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:40,480
mentioned it would be nice to loop it

517
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,880
and I'm wondering if uh if we're

518
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,559
stopping short of of of the of the

519
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:49,679
recommendation that they're making.

520
00:20:49,679 --> 00:20:50,960
>> You mean to do the loop?

521
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,159
>> To do the loop and and and uh because um

522
00:20:56,159 --> 00:20:58,400
it's it you know it's good, better,

523
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,799
best. In other words, put four tires on

524
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:03,919
instead of two. But the thing with that

525
00:21:03,919 --> 00:21:06,080
kind of project though, we're talking

526
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,280
multi-million dollars.

527
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,039
>> Well, I I don't know. Is that right?

528
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:14,470
>> I I would think so.

529
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,590
» Say what?

530
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,640
» Have him come up and

531
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,520
>> Yeah. I don't know.

532
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,799
>> I'm more worried about what the cost

533
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:24,320
would be to do the whole looping right

534
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:24,640
now.

535
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,120
>> We just don't know the number on that.

536
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:28,720
the other water projects we're trying

537
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,640
>> Well, I don't I don't know if it's I was

538
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,799
thinking if it was another $10,000.

539
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:34,400
>> Oh, no. I didn't Wouldn't we loop it

540
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:34,640
more?

541
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,320
>> No, no, that that would make sense.

542
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,120
>> I didn't I didn't I did when you said a

543
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:42,240
couple of million, I was no

544
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,840
>> based upon your place quickly.

545
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,200
>> Based upon Mr. Montgomery's estimate,

546
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,200
you know, multiply that by three or

547
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,440
four. That's a long ways away from two

548
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,240
million bucks.

549
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,960
>> Yeah. But still, it's more than we've

550
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,679
got in our fund. Yeah. Mr. Mickelson,

551
00:21:57,679 --> 00:22:00,000
what figure did you come up with?

552
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,070
71,000.

553
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,080
» Well, I can see some people in our

554
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,640
audience smiling.

555
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,559
>> Okay.

556
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:12,320
I will now make the motion that we

557
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,159
approve the application for this water

558
00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:16,880
connection with the city extending the

559
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,400
main line following an estimate uh at

560
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,240
our cost and the connection on the

561
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,440
applicant's cost. Is that adequate word

562
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:25,919
or

563
00:22:25,919 --> 00:22:28,320
>> specify pipe size

564
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,480
>> that the city will adhere to their own

565
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,679
ordinance of an 8 in or pipe mainline?

566
00:22:35,679 --> 00:22:38,240
Does that cover it all?

567
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,159
>> Is there a second?

568
00:22:40,159 --> 00:22:42,559
And I guess I should add them and be the

569
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:44,159
funds for this project will come from

570
00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:46,320
the water acquisition fund and the

571
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,520
millers will pay

572
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,200
>> and the millers will be obligated for

573
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,320
the normal connection fee. Well, since

574
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,000
we haven't got a second yet, but we

575
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,720
there is something uh Mr. and Mrs.

576
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,039
Miller, you need to be aware of. Again,

577
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,840
the water line is on the north side. You

578
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,799
would be responsible to get it under the

579
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:09,840
road to your home. So I just hope you

580
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,360
understand that. So

581
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,840
>> you want to make that contingent on them

582
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,760
purchasing the water connection because

583
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:16,880
there's no reason for us to do it if

584
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,000
they don't purchase.

585
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,520
>> We could do this and she could look at

586
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,679
me again and say what she said before. I

587
00:23:21,679 --> 00:23:24,159
don't want your water.

588
00:23:24,159 --> 00:23:26,240
So that's conditional upon the the

589
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,440
miller's agreement.

590
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,400
>> Do you want to come up?

591
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,600
>> Mr. Mickelson is coming up. I was just

592
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,360
going to tell you we would have to

593
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:37,200
whenever we decide to do that we'd have

594
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,720
to open the budget because we've never

595
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,960
budgeted for anything coming out of that

596
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,960
fund. But just just so you know that we

597
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:43,679
can do it.

598
00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:45,679
>> Good point. Thank you for that.

599
00:23:45,679 --> 00:23:47,760
>> And of course that would be before our

600
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,159
next fiscal year starts October 1st. I

601
00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:52,960
don't know how soon this would happen.

602
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,120
Uh but if it's before October 1st, we'd

603
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:57,200
have to do what Kelly said. Well, and I

604
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,799
guess even after.

605
00:23:58,799 --> 00:23:59,679
>> Yeah. Either way,

606
00:23:59,679 --> 00:24:01,039
>> right? Okay.

607
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:03,120
>> Okay.

608
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:04,720
Uh, Taylor, do you have any other

609
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,640
comments? We kind of interrupted you.

610
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,799
>> No, you're you're good. I think all my

611
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:15,039
questions have been answered.

612
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:17,200
>> Well, we're looking for a second on Mr.

613
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,640
Thomas's motion.

614
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,320
>> I'll second it.

615
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,080
>> Was that you, Mr. Dodge? I didn't see.

616
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,559
Okay. Uh, Mr. Brent Dodge seconded this

617
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:29,039
motion. Any questions, comments?

618
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:33,200
Let me just just clarification. Uh our

619
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,880
attorney, have you looked at that? Is

620
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,559
that the uh proper use of the uh uh of

621
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:42,240
the ordinance or of the code?

622
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,960
>> I haven't had a chance to review.

623
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,200
>> Do you mean of the use of the fund?

624
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,640
>> Yeah, use of the fund. I mean, that's

625
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,559
it. That's a

626
00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:52,000
>> I just want to make sure that we're

627
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,600
using the code

628
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,440
>> as it water project.

629
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,000
>> Yes,

630
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,679
>> correct. I as I read it would be

631
00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:03,520
use of funds would include to expand and

632
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,360
upgrade the water system for extension

633
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:07,279
to add.

634
00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:10,320
>> Okay, that almost sounds perfect.

635
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,520
>> Sounds like it matches.

636
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,840
>> Okay.

637
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,559
We have a motion on the table to

638
00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:20,240
approve the uh water line connection.

639
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,559
The city will extend the line with with

640
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:26,799
an 8 in line

641
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:30,720
to uh approximately 600 ft which would

642
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,039
allow the millers to connect at their

643
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:35,440
expense.

644
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,679
All in favor? Mr. Terry Larson.

645
00:25:39,679 --> 00:25:40,240
>> I.

646
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,039
>> Todd Thomas.

647
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:41,440
>> I.

648
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,240
>> Chris Larson.

649
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:42,640
>> I.

650
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,360
>> Brent Dodge.

651
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:43,760
>> I.

652
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,000
>> Okay. Motion carries. I hope that'll

653
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,520
work, folks.

654
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,279
Um,

655
00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:52,880
we will uh move forward with that. Okay.

656
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,559
>> I just hope we can finally stop coming

657
00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:57,120
up with these once in these things that

658
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:58,799
are once in a blue moon and we've had so

659
00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,360
many of these in my time on the council

660
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:03,279
decisions that were made years ago that

661
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:05,679
are come back to bite us now. But

662
00:26:05,679 --> 00:26:07,760
>> I think we all agree, Mr. Chris. Thank

663
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,679
you.

664
00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:12,159
Okay. Next on the agenda, uh, east

665
00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:14,080
Enclave subdivision building permit

666
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,480
issuance prior to essential

667
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,240
infrastructure completion and also uh

668
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,240
included in this discussion partial

669
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,080
refund east enclave infrastructure

670
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,159
and rounds uh $826,90.

671
00:26:30,159 --> 00:26:33,039
Sean, would you please come up and and

672
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:34,720
uh

673
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,440
talk about these? I I think you need to

674
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,520
talk about uh the uh uh building permit

675
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,760
issuance issue and then I might have

676
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,679
Scott Montgomery come up and talk about

677
00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:46,880
the other.

678
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,600
>> Okay. Uh so Enclave East uh subdivision

679
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,080
uh Cameron Rans and Jordan Snedker uh

680
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,240
sent in a request uh to have provisional

681
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,200
uh building permits issued

682
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,440
uh without having all the infrastructure

683
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,360
in. Uh so what's going on is they've uh

684
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:09,360
made deposits and they've paid what they

685
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:12,080
need to pay to get the uh electric

686
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,600
company and the gas company and a few

687
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000
other utilities out. Uh those companies

688
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,559
have not shown up yet uh to complete

689
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:20,000
that work and so that's pushing them

690
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,440
further out and the people who have

691
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,279
purchased their lots that's pushing them

692
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,520
further out uh as far as being able to

693
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,720
get in there and get work done. Um along

694
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,840
with that, without having that

695
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,440
infrastructure in, they can't put in uh

696
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,840
the city sidewalk.

697
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,080
Uh so with that, they're asking that we

698
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,880
uh grant uh building permits uh

699
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,440
provisional status that uh would allow

700
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,880
people to go in uh people who have

701
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,520
purchased those lots to go in and uh

702
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,279
begin doing work. Um in speaking with

703
00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:51,840
them they've said that uh the utility

704
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,520
companies have expressed that it should

705
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,159
be you know this week or next week uh

706
00:27:56,159 --> 00:27:58,480
that they get work done and uh I haven't

707
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,840
talked to them today so it may have

708
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,520
already begun but uh very soon is what

709
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,480
uh the feeling that I got from them.

710
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:18,310
>> Any questions for Sean?

711
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Scott, do you want to please come up and

712
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,840
talk about your letter that you wrote

713
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:29,350
and uh

714
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:31,200
» you've been out to the site obviously?

715
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,120
>> Yes. Yes, I was out there. Um checked

716
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:39,679
all the roads, curb, gutter, um

717
00:28:39,679 --> 00:28:42,159
checked all the electrical condo. All

718
00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:45,840
the boxes are there. Conduit's in.

719
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,240
Um I can't remember what else was on the

720
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,880
list, but the the street signs are not

721
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,640
there. That's why they was taken out.

722
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,799
The street signs and the stop signs.

723
00:28:56,799 --> 00:28:58,799
>> Are all the fire hydrants in?

724
00:28:58,799 --> 00:28:59,360
>> Yes.

725
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,919
>> Okay.

726
00:29:01,919 --> 00:29:08,389
Um any questions for Mr. Montgomery?

727
00:29:08,399 --> 00:29:11,990
» Thank you.

728
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,320
So, where we're at on this, I I think

729
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,840
that we're going to have to have two

730
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,600
motions.

731
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,360
Council, I don't know. How do you

732
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,320
want to discuss this? Terry Larson, do

733
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,320
you want to say anything about one of

734
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,440
these requests?

735
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,279
>> Yeah. Um, I didn't So, I didn't realize

736
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:35,200
that we had two requests. one for the

737
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,640
bond re the partial bond refund and for

738
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,960
the request for building permissive

739
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,679
within the same issue. Um and then next

740
00:29:45,679 --> 00:29:49,919
on the agenda we have the

741
00:29:49,919 --> 00:29:52,240
uh Ralph subdivision

742
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,039
that is kind of in a similar situation

743
00:29:57,039 --> 00:29:58,640
sidewalk-wise. It's not the same

744
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,640
situation but there there's an ask

745
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,799
there. Um, so I think

746
00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:07,279
you know the the relief from the

747
00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:11,360
sidewalks for Enclave and the bonding

748
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,279
for the sidewalks for uh the Rouse

749
00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:17,440
subdivision. Those are two things that

750
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,240
are kind of tied together that I think

751
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,880
the discussion needs to be had with

752
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,000
those two kind of going back and forth

753
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,399
between those two things. But depending

754
00:30:28,399 --> 00:30:37,039
on the decision that's made with the sidewalk issue, I think would

755
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:41,039
make a difference of possibly the

756
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,360
bonding, the refund of the bonding. Is

757
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:49,430
that does make sense what I'm saying?

758
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,399
» No.

759
00:30:50,399 --> 00:30:53,200
Well, the council said no, and I'm

760
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,360
saying maybe,

761
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,240
but uh I didn't know if you had a

762
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,919
personal uh issue on one or both of

763
00:31:01,919 --> 00:31:04,320
these.

764
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,559
No, I I don't have a personal issue on

765
00:31:06,559 --> 00:31:11,279
either of them. Um, as far as the

766
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:14,159
Enclave and the and the Ralph

767
00:31:14,159 --> 00:31:16,720
subdivision, I think whatever the

768
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,320
decision that's made is, it needs to be

769
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,600
basically the same for both parties. I

770
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,840
don't think we refuse one and then allow

771
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,159
one because by ordinance um, you know,

772
00:31:30,159 --> 00:31:32,559
we're not allowed the ordinance requires

773
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:35,440
the sidewalk to be put in. So if we

774
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,559
allow for the Ralph subdivision to bond

775
00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:40,480
for sidewalks,

776
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,200
then I think we're would be at least at

777
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,320
the obligation to allow the rounds to

778
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,399
bond for sidewalk.

779
00:31:48,399 --> 00:31:50,880
And if they bond decide to bond for

780
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,880
sidewalk, if that decision is made in

781
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,919
that favor, then I would say that the

782
00:31:55,919 --> 00:31:59,440
partial bond refund shouldn't be as much

783
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,080
as it is.

784
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,440
>> Okay. I and I appreciate the input. We will I'm sure the rest of the council

785
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,760
will have some discussion. I if I can

786
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,200
clean this up a little bit, at least try

787
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,880
to clean this up a little bit. On the

788
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,200
back of your page, council, the letter

789
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,760
that Scott Montgomery wrote, our city

790
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,080
clerk, Linda AOK, has given us a

791
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,320
complete review of the total bond amount

792
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,720
and the releases and what the remaining

793
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,880
amount would be. I I do want to say that

794
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,760
this based upon changes to our municipal

795
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,039
code, partial releases will not ever be

796
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:41,039
an issue ever again. Uh but based upon

797
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:46,950
this proposal, we still have $444,900

798
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,279
remaining in a letter of credit that

799
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:53,360
would cover the infrastructure

800
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,559
improvements. and that excludes the 10%

801
00:32:56,559 --> 00:32:59,600
retainage that the city will hold on to

802
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,320
for a year after the entire development

803
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,159
is complete. I don't know if that makes

804
00:33:04,159 --> 00:33:06,960
any difference, but I'm wondering if we

805
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,519
can maybe move forward on one of these

806
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:11,919
and take these issues one at a time.

807
00:33:11,919 --> 00:33:16,880
>> Can can you can somebody uh

808
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,240
>> there was that much of the bond left? um

809
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,559
that my my understanding was the with

810
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:26,480
the release of the bond that we all we

811
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,760
would have was

812
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,240
>> the 10%

813
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,559
>> that thought. So if we do still have um

814
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:40,000
adequate funds to for the you know as a

815
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,120
through the bond to cover the sidewalks

816
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,640
then whatever the

817
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,480
I didn't both ways.

818
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,799
>> No I got I got you T. I think that I

819
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:54,799
think that we would be covered but Mr.

820
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:56,880
Dodge you you had a comment please.

821
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,080
>> That that was mainly my comment. I was

822
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,960
curious on when they approached us on

823
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,360
this and when we approved this. I would

824
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,200
like to see a copy of what we did

825
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,720
approve. Um I don't remember it being

826
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:15,839
this all cart. I I thought it was um

827
00:34:15,839 --> 00:34:18,000
>> mean for the item bonded.

828
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,399
>> Yeah. Yeah. I I don't remember it but I

829
00:34:20,399 --> 00:34:24,000
thought it was um at different phases or

830
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,839
I I don't know. Do you have a copy of

831
00:34:25,839 --> 00:34:26,800
the development agreement?

832
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,200
>> Uh I I do. I I'm referencing a copy of

833
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,480
the development agreement. Um, let me

834
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,440
find that.

835
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:36,960
Uh, so the development agreement

836
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,879
references that the total bond amount

837
00:34:38,879 --> 00:34:41,760
would be 2,661,000

838
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,040
for the current phase of the

839
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,800
subdivision,

840
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,240
but I'm I'm not aware of a a exhibit or

841
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:50,079
schedule that breaks it down further

842
00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:53,520
than that. Maybe honor the developers

843
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,760
are, but that was the total amount and

844
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,960
that was how it was listed in the

845
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,160
development agreement.

846
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,720
>> Then what did we agree to? We I know we

847
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:03,760
agreed to do partial releases, but what

848
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:09,270
was that agreement like?

849
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,079
» Well, I'm not sure there was a specific

850
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:14,560
agreement. The request has come to the

851
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,560
council every time they've wanted a

852
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,200
release as part of the consent calendar.

853
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,880
I think we put some sideboards on it is my

854
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,160
>> within the I thought within the

855
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,880
development agreement.

856
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,480
Let me let me look for that further.

857
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,200
Council,

858
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,400
>> yeah, I just I I wor sideboards.

859
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,240
>> Okay. What what I think we ought to do

860
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:35,920
and council let you tell me if you

861
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,560
disagree. I think we should table this

862
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,320
partial refund request until next

863
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,880
meeting until we get a little more

864
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,440
information on the previous releases. I

865
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,200
don't know how you feel about that.

866
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,480
Well, uh, if I may go ahead, I'm going

867
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,960
to I'm a believer in cutting the Gordian

868
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,480
knot and keeping it simple. I'm okay

869
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,040
with a partial release as requested for

870
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,200
the roadway improvements. You know, our

871
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,520
original agenda had electrical listed

872
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,640
and that was incorrect. We took that off

873
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,280
and the number has been adjusted per Mr.

874
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,560
McGomery's letter, you know, signage,

875
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,960
things like that. So, I'm honestly okay

876
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,079
with this partial release right now. Uh,

877
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:22,400
but I'm also very much relieved that we

878
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,079
have changed that ordinance so that we

879
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:26,640
don't keep doing partials.

880
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,720
When you go down to number six and talk

881
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:30,800
about building permit issuance, at this

882
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,640
point, I'm honestly going to say I'm not

883
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,119
in favor of that until all those

884
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:37,920
improvements are done. Uh, I don't think

885
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,119
it's fair to the future occupants of the

886
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:43,599
subdivision to allow building to start

887
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:46,079
without all the infrastructure in first.

888
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:49,040
That's just my opinion on that. I think

889
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,480
the other issue of bonding for sidewalks

890
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,280
with Mr. Ralphs is slightly different. I

891
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,280
totally get why you want to wait and do

892
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,599
the concrete after so you don't break it

893
00:36:59,599 --> 00:37:02,000
up and have to redo it. I'm more

894
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
comfortable with a with a bonding for

895
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,800
that uh while the construction gets

896
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,200
finished. I wouldn't want Mr. Ralphs to

897
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,200
have a building permit either in this

898
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,280
case without all the infrastructure put

899
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,160
in first aside from the sidewalks.

900
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,680
>> Okay. So, let's stay with cutting the

901
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,200
guardian now. Did you want to make a

902
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,839
motion in regards to the partial refund

903
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:24,000
release, Mr. Thomas? Let's see where

904
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,520
this goes. Yeah, I'm happy to make a

905
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,920
motion right now just on that topic that

906
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,520
we do grant the partial refund uh

907
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,240
release of bond to on East Enclave for

908
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:38,079
the adjusted amount of $826,90.

909
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:39,440
>> Is there a second?

910
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,560
>> I'll second that.

911
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,800
>> Chris Larson has seconded it. Council,

912
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,480
do you want to make any more discussions

913
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,079
about this issue?

914
00:37:46,079 --> 00:37:49,280
>> The I I would like to read the uh

915
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,160
>> Please go ahead.

916
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,839
>> Yeah, the agreement. So the agreement

917
00:37:51,839 --> 00:37:54,960
that we made with Enclave uh subdivision

918
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,000
is this. The city will partially release

919
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,520
any shity provided by the developer as

920
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,760
individual components of the

921
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,560
improvements i.e. water, sewer, road,

922
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,280
sidewalks are completed and installed,

923
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,359
provided that no such partial release

924
00:38:11,359 --> 00:38:13,760
will occur unless and until the

925
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,079
appropriate city official, including the

926
00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:17,839
director of public works, director of

927
00:38:17,839 --> 00:38:19,839
land use, planning, and city engineer,

928
00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:21,920
if applicable, have inspected the

929
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,680
completed improvements and deemed them

930
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,240
acceptable, at least so far as to grant

931
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:29,599
a partial release of the shy. My my

932
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:32,720
understanding of that paragraph is that

933
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:37,040
um it it fits within their application.

934
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,560
>> I think it does.

935
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,720
>> Thank you for that.

936
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:42,640
Okay. I will call for a vote. All in

937
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,119
favor for Mr. Thomas's motion.

938
00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:46,640
>> I I

939
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,200
>> I

940
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,680
Terry.

941
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,280
>> Uh I

942
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,760
>> Okay, we have a reluctant eye from Terry

943
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,240
Larson. Uh motion motion carries

944
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:03,680
unanimously. Thank you. Okay, we're back to number six. Uh East

945
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,640
Enclaves building permit issuance prior

946
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:16,630
to essential infrastructure completion.

947
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,720
» Thank you.

948
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:20,800
Since we've drugg out the development

949
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,040
agreement,

950
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:28,000
uh in subp paragraph U as in between T

951
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,119
and V, page 11, it does say no building

952
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:32,480
permits will be issued prior to

953
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,079
completion of improvements according to

954
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:36,400
the improvement plan in this agreement.

955
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,320
And so that that topic is addressed in

956
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,839
the development agreement. Now, I think

957
00:39:39,839 --> 00:39:43,280
Cody Ralphs is not to the progress to

958
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,960
the point of having a final development

959
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,000
agreement yet on on that one, but just

960
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,599
thought I'd add that piece of

961
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:51,680
information to your discussion. And

962
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,520
>> so I think that statement there backs up

963
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,760
what I suggested that we do not approve

964
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,599
conditional building permits until all

965
00:39:57,599 --> 00:39:59,440
the infrastructure improvements are

966
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,680
done. So I'll put that in the form of a

967
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,599
motion.

968
00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:05,920
>> I'll second that.

969
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,000
So your form of the motion is to deny

970
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:08,480
it.

971
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:08,960
>> Correct.

972
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,440
>> Okay. Is that you're understanding, Mr.

973
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,440
Dodge? Okay. Any last comments, Terry?

974
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:23,040
>> I I have a comment. Okay. So, I I don't disagree with with Todd's logic

975
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,079
there that I and I believe that the

976
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:28,079
sidewalks, you know, that there's a good

977
00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:30,240
chance of breaking those sidewalks up.

978
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:32,400
But when we pass this ordinance, that

979
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,480
was one of my arguments against passing

980
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,400
this ordinance was that very thing. And

981
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,839
we opted to pass the ordinance with that

982
00:40:41,839 --> 00:40:46,640
still in there. So now we have a

983
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,680
developer that we're looking to grant

984
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,520
permission with a bond to get around

985
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,520
that. So

986
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,599
in my opinion, you know, we've got an

987
00:40:55,599 --> 00:40:58,960
ordinance that I feel like we know had

988
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,359
issues with it and now we're it's not a

989
00:41:03,359 --> 00:41:05,359
variance, but we're now we're going

990
00:41:05,359 --> 00:41:09,520
against what our ordinance is. So,

991
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:15,760
I'm still on the I'm still on the uh my

992
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,280
stool, I guess, of or my standpoint of

993
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,599
if we grant one, we grant both because

994
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:25,680
we know

995
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,280
we've known since we passed the

996
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,040
ordinance that this was an issue.

997
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:32,880
>> This this one this one for Enclave

998
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,640
though is not about sidewalks, right?

999
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,720
It's because the electrical is not the

1000
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:38,240
power company hasn't done their work.

1001
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:39,839
It's because

1002
00:41:39,839 --> 00:41:41,680
>> gas hasn't been put in.

1003
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:42,640
>> That's my understanding.

1004
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,680
>> That's what I That's what I understand.

1005
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,359
>> Terry, we're going to have Mr. Snder

1006
00:41:47,359 --> 00:41:48,240
come up.

1007
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:50,400
>> Thanks, Jordan. Hope that's okay.

1008
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,319
Council,

1009
00:41:52,319 --> 00:41:54,000
>> we do have a motion on the table with a

1010
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,760
second.

1011
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,839
>> Can you hear me?

1012
00:41:57,839 --> 00:41:58,640
>> Can now? Yep.

1013
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,440
>> Thank you. Um, just to clarify, um, our

1014
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,839
hands are tied based off of the, uh,

1015
00:42:03,839 --> 00:42:06,079
power company and the gas company. We've

1016
00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:08,079
paid our fee for them to come out.

1017
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:10,720
They've just got a backlog. And, in

1018
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:12,560
fact, they've showed up today. They've

1019
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,440
started. And so, um, I talked to them

1020
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,520
today. They said within this week or

1021
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,960
next week, they would be completed. Um,

1022
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,319
we've just got some people that are

1023
00:42:22,319 --> 00:42:23,920
wanting to start, you know, breaking

1024
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,960
down before snowfalls, but our hands are

1025
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,720
tied as the developer that we I mean,

1026
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:30,560
it's a monopoly that Rocky Mountain

1027
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,880
Power has. We've paid their fee. We've

1028
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,760
been compliant. Um,

1029
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,520
regarding we're just they're just

1030
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,480
wanting to get started. Um, and so it's

1031
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,040
within a week or, you know, 10 days from

1032
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,760
them being completed and then it would

1033
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,520
be the sidewalk. the sidewalk can't go

1034
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,400
in until after those um uh improvements

1035
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,280
are installed. But then you go back to

1036
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,040
you put this sidewalks in and they're

1037
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,720
going to get brack crack cracked, broken

1038
00:42:56,720 --> 00:43:01,440
and you know um but we're willing to do that and

1039
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,000
we're going to do that but um we're just

1040
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,319
asking for this variance or this you

1041
00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:08,560
know conditional approval for lots so

1042
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,119
that we can continue progressing without

1043
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:14,560
getting held up by uh a monopolistic

1044
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,839
entity such as Rocky Mountain Power.

1045
00:43:17,839 --> 00:43:19,280
But they're on site. They are on site

1046
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,599
today. They're on all this week. So, I'd

1047
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,800
say within, you know, 10 days.

1048
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,280
You guys have any questions for me?

1049
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,040
>> Thank you, Mr. Senator. Go ahead, Chris.

1050
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,640
>> I was just going to ask Jordan. Jordan,

1051
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,800
just your opinion on this, but it was

1052
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,280
something I was thinking was I I

1053
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,359
understand that Rocky Mountain Power is

1054
00:43:37,359 --> 00:43:39,920
holding you up and whatever else, but

1055
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,960
why is that the city's problem?

1056
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,680
That's kind of my thought when I that

1057
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,599
that's not the city's problem at all.

1058
00:43:47,599 --> 00:43:50,160
this is our problem as part of the risk

1059
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,720
that we um took on when we decided to do

1060
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:55,920
this project. Um but we're just trying

1061
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,440
to provide a service to the people of

1062
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,839
Preston so that they can continue moving

1063
00:44:01,839 --> 00:44:04,160
forward. And so we're just asking for

1064
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,160
this um consideration to to not delay

1065
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,560
things as you know fall's coming and

1066
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:11,680
winter's coming.

1067
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,760
>> You know, Mr. Snediger and I appreciate

1068
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,000
your application and and you asking the

1069
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,359
question and and I ditto what you said

1070
00:44:19,359 --> 00:44:20,880
and that is is that we're trying to

1071
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,640
provide a service to the city or the

1072
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,599
municipality to make sure that everybody

1073
00:44:25,599 --> 00:44:29,359
fits within the code. And so we don't

1074
00:44:29,359 --> 00:44:31,359
doubt your integrity or what you're

1075
00:44:31,359 --> 00:44:35,040
trying to do, but we as council members

1076
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,480
and as this board um we have to keep

1077
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:43,599
order. And so uh that's um and as such

1078
00:44:43,599 --> 00:44:46,720
the code specifically says no building

1079
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:48,800
permit shall be granted until curb

1080
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,079
gutter and railway of a phase of a m a

1081
00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:53,839
major subdivision are completed. That's

1082
00:44:53,839 --> 00:44:57,430
code 16.28.020.

1083
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,760
And your comment in regards to the um

1084
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,440
cracked sidewalks and those things that

1085
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,640
um maybe you think are ridiculous. We've

1086
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,839
made a provision for that. Uh it says to

1087
00:45:11,839 --> 00:45:14,240
the extent necessary to accommodate the

1088
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:16,160
sidewalk, curb, and gutter when

1089
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,160
determined that it is technically or

1090
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,040
otherwise infeasible to comply such as

1091
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,319
where there is a lack of public

1092
00:45:22,319 --> 00:45:24,800
rightway, extreme uh topographical

1093
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,359
conditions, uh presence of a fire

1094
00:45:27,359 --> 00:45:29,599
hydrant, mailboxes, those kinds of

1095
00:45:29,599 --> 00:45:31,440
things. We've made a provision for those

1096
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,839
sidewalks. So, uh, if if you feel like

1097
00:45:35,839 --> 00:45:38,720
there's an extenduating circumstance,

1098
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:42,000
uh, you can make a a a request for those

1099
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,839
sidewalks not to go in.

1100
00:45:43,839 --> 00:45:48,720
>> But for you to say that, um, the city is

1101
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:52,640
not um is not builder friendly, I think

1102
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,880
is a mischaracterization.

1103
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,079
I think you're putting words in my

1104
00:45:56,079 --> 00:45:58,079
mouth. Okay, Councilman died. I didn't

1105
00:45:58,079 --> 00:45:59,440
say that you're not builder friendly at

1106
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,520
all.

1107
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:02,800
Thank you for your comments. You know,

1108
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,640
>> Jordan, I'm I'm very comfortable with

1109
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,040
the sidewalks coming later. Sure.

1110
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,520
>> I get you don't want to, you know, do it

1111
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,079
twice. And we've done that several times

1112
00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:14,000
either with a partial bond or just a

1113
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,319
waiver, a variance. I recall one

1114
00:46:16,319 --> 00:46:18,000
instance with a homeowner where they

1115
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,440
were required, they had to do

1116
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,920
asphaltting. Well, it was December, they

1117
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,160
couldn't get hot mix and so we gave an

1118
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,960
extended, you know, time to do it later.

1119
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,560
So, I don't want you to worry about the

1120
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,359
sidewalks.

1121
00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:30,720
>> Okay.

1122
00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:32,160
There's still a method there.

1123
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,119
>> Sure.

1124
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:34,640
>> The signs are purchased, but we can't

1125
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,119
put the signs in before the concrete.

1126
00:46:37,119 --> 00:46:39,920
Um, it's just uh we're just waiting on

1127
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,720
the the big players to install their work.

1128
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:43,599
>> I get it.

1129
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:45,440
>> So, thank you for coming up, Jordan.

1130
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,040
Appreciate you being here. Okay, we have

1131
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,480
a motion on the table to uh deny this

1132
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,599
request number six. Uh, I'm going to do

1133
00:46:53,599 --> 00:46:55,839
a roll call vote. Mr. Dodge.

1134
00:46:55,839 --> 00:46:56,560
>> Hi.

1135
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,920
>> Uh, Terry Larson.

1136
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:01,040
>> Nay.

1137
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,160
>> Was that May?

1138
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,480
>> Tell what it said.

1139
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:05,040
>> Nay.

1140
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,359
>> May is in no. Chris Larson.

1141
00:47:07,359 --> 00:47:08,319
>> I.

1142
00:47:08,319 --> 00:47:10,720
>> Uh, Todd Thomas.

1143
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:11,359
>> I.

1144
00:47:11,359 --> 00:47:13,359
>> Okay. Motion carries 3 to one. Thank

1145
00:47:13,359 --> 00:47:16,079
you, Terry Larson. Thank you, Mr. Sneder

1146
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:19,440
and Mr. Rounds. Okay. Number seven,

1147
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,839
general obligation revenue bond on

1148
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:25,520
November ballot for 2 million gallon

1149
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,440
water storage tank.

1150
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,200
I guess this is where I will

1151
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,720
editorialize briefly

1152
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:37,359
based upon the fact that we do have a

1153
00:47:37,359 --> 00:47:41,990
grant for $3,750,000

1154
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,680
as well as the fact that the city of

1155
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,520
Preston does need additional water

1156
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,319
storage. We have about four and a half

1157
00:47:48,319 --> 00:47:50,000
million gallons of water storage

1158
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,800
currently and an extra two million

1159
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,480
gallon would do uh uh significantly

1160
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,839
increase our uh holdings of water and

1161
00:47:59,839 --> 00:48:01,760
based upon the fact that our city

1162
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,839
engineering essentially has been

1163
00:48:03,839 --> 00:48:05,760
completed on this project. Is that

1164
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,200
correct Mr. Jared Richens? Okay. The

1165
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,160
council has decided that we would like

1166
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:16,240
to put the qu the request on the ballot

1167
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:19,520
to have the citizens vote in the

1168
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,520
November election to approve a revenue

1169
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,829
bond for $2,500,000.

1170
00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:30,480
Now, this is a situation that would

1171
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,400
require

1172
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,920
uh a majority vote only.

1173
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,920
Also, this is a situation. It is a

1174
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,079
revenue bond.

1175
00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:42,480
It will have no bearing whatsoever on

1176
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,599
individuals property taxes. It will not

1177
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:47,760
affect the property tax on your home or

1178
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,559
improvements or property, bare land,

1179
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:53,440
development, whatever. This is purely a

1180
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,240
revenue bond. I want to give a brief

1181
00:48:56,240 --> 00:48:59,440
history. We currently have a revenue

1182
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:04,720
bond in place that was incurred in 1998,

1183
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:08,880
a 30-year bond for in excess of $5.4

1184
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,480
million.

1185
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,440
That was to 4 million was to improve

1186
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,280
lines and water meters. $1.4 million was

1187
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,680
for a new water tank.

1188
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,880
This bond was refinanced

1189
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,040
uh by the council in the year 2020.

1190
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,200
That 5.3 million, 5.4 million was paid

1191
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,319
down to 2.8 million.

1192
00:49:34,319 --> 00:49:36,640
The council was able to refinance this

1193
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:41,510
at a fixed interest rate of 1.97%.

1194
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:46,400
This uh obligation balance is about

1195
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,040
uh $500,000.

1196
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,319
And this 30-year bond will be totally

1197
00:49:52,319 --> 00:49:57,280
paid off on May 15, 2028.

1198
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,280
So the fact of the matter is is this

1199
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,640
proposed $2.5 million item that will be

1200
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,760
on the november ballot if the council so

1201
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,520
chooses will actually be less of a debt

1202
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,079
service obligation than we are currently

1203
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:15,920
paying. Uh council, help me here. any uh

1204
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,480
information that you want to discuss for

1205
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:23,510
the public?

1206
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,960
» Um what I what I would just add is that

1207
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,119
one of our biggest issues that we have

1208
00:50:29,119 --> 00:50:32,880
as a city with the um spring that we get

1209
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,640
our water from is that storage capacity.

1210
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,440
uh until we were surprised with the

1211
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,760
amount of the bids, we had every

1212
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,079
intention of moving forward with a 2

1213
00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:48,319
milli extra holding for the city. Um if

1214
00:50:48,319 --> 00:50:50,720
that water does not get held that we

1215
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:53,520
already have right to and we fill up our

1216
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,480
current tanks, it just flows out into

1217
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,640
foster, right? So, what we're talking

1218
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,880
about here is the ability to hang on to

1219
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,280
more of our water that can then be used

1220
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,079
in situations like this summer where we

1221
00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:09,599
had a pretty major drought. Um, from all

1222
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:11,119
things that I've been reading, it sounds

1223
00:51:11,119 --> 00:51:13,359
like we might be in for another drought

1224
00:51:13,359 --> 00:51:20,000
this winter um potentially. But what this tank does is it gives us the

1225
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,720
ability to have 2 million more gallons

1226
00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:25,520
in holding for circumstances such as

1227
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,760
this. the fact that um we're able to do

1228
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,640
this without an increase to the water

1229
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,119
bill specifically, and I don't want to

1230
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:37,359
get that confused with a sewer bill and

1231
00:51:37,359 --> 00:51:39,440
a water bill. I know that we get you get

1232
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,200
that at the same time, but there

1233
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:42,720
wouldn't be an increase to the water

1234
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,480
bill, which this has to come out of

1235
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,720
those funds. So, being able to move

1236
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:51,760
forward with this, I I would hope um

1237
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,400
getting it on the on the ballot. I'm

1238
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:59,040
hoping that the citizens would see the need that the city has for this and

1239
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,880
be able to also understand that we're

1240
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,640
not talking about increasing that water

1241
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,480
bill. We're talking about the funds that

1242
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,079
we're already getting in every month

1243
00:52:06,079 --> 00:52:08,319
being able to continue to pay for it,

1244
00:52:08,319 --> 00:52:10,640
but we just can't build the tank without

1245
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,599
that approval from the public. That's

1246
00:52:13,599 --> 00:52:18,319
the that's the big thing. And so that's what we'll hopefully be asking

1247
00:52:18,319 --> 00:52:20,559
for uh on that November election. But

1248
00:52:20,559 --> 00:52:24,000
that's my that's me uh editorializing on

1249
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,040
that.

1250
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,200
>> Well, I appreciate that, Chris Larson.

1251
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:32,480
Uh to give your perspective, u uh to Mr.

1252
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:33,440
Thomas, do you have his

1253
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,920
>> Yeah, my thoughts on this. Uh I'm I'm

1254
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,760
comfortable with this decision. I think

1255
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,760
this water tank is extremely important

1256
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,520
to us. That's going to do uh have a

1257
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,720
great deal of benefit to us until the

1258
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:48,640
lucky day comes that we find another

1259
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,319
source of water.

1260
00:52:50,319 --> 00:52:52,000
Uh,

1261
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,680
so

1262
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,000
I would encourage this to be on the

1263
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,400
November ballot. I am a big believer in

1264
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,960
ballot initiatives. No matter what the

1265
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,079
topic, even if I vote no on it or I vote

1266
00:53:04,079 --> 00:53:06,079
yes on it, I'm a big believer in the

1267
00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:08,000
Republican form of government of one

1268
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,559
person, one vote. And a ballot

1269
00:53:10,559 --> 00:53:12,880
initiative like this gives the voter

1270
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,920
that chance. But then the responsibility

1271
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,319
needs will rest not just on the council

1272
00:53:18,319 --> 00:53:20,240
shoulders. it'll rest on the city

1273
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:23,760
residents. That's where it should be.

1274
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,559
Um, they need to say yes or no. And what

1275
00:53:26,559 --> 00:53:28,559
they're basically doing with a yes vote,

1276
00:53:28,559 --> 00:53:30,319
you're giving the council and the mayor

1277
00:53:30,319 --> 00:53:33,200
permission to go borrow that money to

1278
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,480
build this project. If they say no, we

1279
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,720
won't be able to build it. And then

1280
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:40,319
you're running the risk of running out

1281
00:53:40,319 --> 00:53:43,599
of water possibly. I like the election

1282
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:46,160
option much much better than judicial

1283
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,680
confirmation.

1284
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,680
Uh we've done judicial confirmation

1285
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:54,880
twice. Once for the water meters in 98.

1286
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,559
Uh and I think that turned out to be a

1287
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:59,200
good move for the city. And then we did

1288
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,520
it for the sewer plant.

1289
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,079
We chose to hold an election like this

1290
00:54:04,079 --> 00:54:07,839
for bonding about six, seven years ago

1291
00:54:07,839 --> 00:54:09,520
uh

1292
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,640
to raise the money for a new water

1293
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,359
mainline from the tank into town if you

1294
00:54:15,359 --> 00:54:17,839
can recall that. and it went very

1295
00:54:17,839 --> 00:54:20,319
successful. We had a 70 something%

1296
00:54:20,319 --> 00:54:22,000
approval

1297
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,760
uh with the city and we appreciated

1298
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,400
that. The job of the council now is to

1299
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,559
educate and inform the voters so they

1300
00:54:28,559 --> 00:54:30,400
make the right choice. So I'm all in

1301
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,720
favor of this. Mr. Dodge, have you got

1302
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:34,880
any comments on this, please?

1303
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,800
>> It was um we started this process with

1304
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,200
uh the bond. Uh I remember the day up at

1305
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,599
the capital all of us uh council member

1306
00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:49,200
including the mayor met with uh uh

1307
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,200
congressman's uh office and uh this is

1308
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,880
where the seed was planted where we

1309
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,880
needed a water tank and uh and fast

1310
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,559
forward

1311
00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:07,119
it's got to be 5 years ago and uh fast

1312
00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:09,520
forward we thought that we had enough

1313
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,000
money to build a water tank.

1314
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:17,119
And uh the inflation has just uh uh

1315
00:55:17,119 --> 00:55:20,400
caught us off guard. And so with that

1316
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,400
being said,

1317
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,000
we essentially have uh we get to make a

1318
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,319
decision. And um so I I want the

1319
00:55:30,319 --> 00:55:32,800
citizens to think of it this way.

1320
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:38,400
Basically, um, we're we're going to get

1321
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,160
a a new an additional water tank for 50

1322
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,559
cents on the dollar.

1323
00:55:44,559 --> 00:55:48,400
Um, if we decide, hey, we don't want to

1324
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,640
bond for it, we don't want we're not

1325
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,799
going to bond for it, we're not going to

1326
00:55:52,799 --> 00:55:55,599
pay that money, uh, then we'll just send

1327
00:55:55,599 --> 00:55:58,559
back the $3.7 million.

1328
00:55:58,559 --> 00:56:01,760
And, uh, at a future date when we do

1329
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,559
need another water tank, the price tag

1330
00:56:04,559 --> 00:56:08,319
of that, we'll have to pay full price.

1331
00:56:08,319 --> 00:56:11,920
And so in my mind's eye, uh missing out

1332
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,240
on that opportunity

1333
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:17,599
uh would be um would not be in our best

1334
00:56:17,599 --> 00:56:20,960
interest. Who doesn't want to go uh

1335
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,480
shopping

1336
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:26,079
uh with a uh and shop at uh on the

1337
00:56:26,079 --> 00:56:30,160
clearance rack at uh 50% discount.

1338
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,000
>> Thank you, Mr. Dodge. Terry Larson, you

1339
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,960
got any comments on this?

1340
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,839
Um I just I I do echo everything that's

1341
00:56:37,839 --> 00:56:41,839
been said. Um and just you know

1342
00:56:41,839 --> 00:56:45,280
reflecting on it when we when we asked

1343
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,000
for this grant and was given basically

1344
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,040
given the grant and through the process.

1345
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,119
Uh the exact same thing has happened

1346
00:56:53,119 --> 00:56:54,559
with with what happened with the

1347
00:56:54,559 --> 00:56:56,799
wastewater treatment plant. From the

1348
00:56:56,799 --> 00:57:00,079
time we started the process to the time

1349
00:57:00,079 --> 00:57:02,160
the rubber hit the road we doubled in

1350
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,200
price. Well,

1351
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,040
you know, like Brent said, 50 cents on

1352
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:08,799
the dollar is really good. And I would

1353
00:57:08,799 --> 00:57:11,440
say it was at probably even more than 50

1354
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,920
cents on the dollar that we're getting.

1355
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:18,559
And uh the need for the water is not

1356
00:57:18,559 --> 00:57:21,280
going to lessen. The cost of the tank is

1357
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,520
going to increase the longer we kick it

1358
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,160
down the road. So, you know, next time

1359
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,240
another council, another mayor, whatever

1360
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,160
it is, goes to do the exact same thing,

1361
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,359
it's not going to be 6 to7 million. It's

1362
00:57:35,359 --> 00:57:40,000
going to be 12 $15 million probably with

1363
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,880
not even $3.7 million worth of grant to

1364
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,079
match it. So, you know, I I I think it's

1365
00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:48,160
foolish that if we that we don't move

1366
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,040
forward with this and and I agree

1367
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,359
wholeheartedly it's at the at the

1368
00:57:53,359 --> 00:57:55,440
citizens discretion of whether we do it

1369
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,799
or not and and I agree it needs to go to

1370
00:57:58,799 --> 00:58:02,319
them to decide.

1371
00:58:02,319 --> 00:58:05,119
>> Thank you, Mr. Terry Larson. Mr. Thomas,

1372
00:58:05,119 --> 00:58:06,640
you had another comment. My last thought

1373
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,880
is, you know, in the whole course of

1374
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:10,880
this wastewater plant, many comments

1375
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,280
have been made, uh, like, why didn't you

1376
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,040
guys do this 10 years ago? It'd have

1377
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,920
been cheaper. Well, it might have been.

1378
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,480
Uh, but 10 years ago, if we had started

1379
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,319
the wastewater thing, we might not have

1380
00:58:22,319 --> 00:58:24,319
got the grant funding we got this time,

1381
00:58:24,319 --> 00:58:25,760
and we might have had a whole different

1382
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,319
interest rate. So, it could all turn out

1383
00:58:28,319 --> 00:58:30,240
to be sixes.

1384
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,319
That we will never know. But, this is

1385
00:58:32,319 --> 00:58:35,200
the second chance. Now, let's not kick

1386
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,839
this down the road. Let's do it when

1387
00:58:37,839 --> 00:58:40,799
it's cheaper so that in 5 years we try

1388
00:58:40,799 --> 00:58:42,559
to do it and we're not told the same

1389
00:58:42,559 --> 00:58:44,160
thing. Why didn't you guys do it 5 years

1390
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,200
ago when it was cheaper? Uh, so that's

1391
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:51,430
my thoughts on it.

1392
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:51,599
I

1393
00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:55,440
>> think we might have lost Mr. Terry.

1394
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,119
>> Linda, can you see if you can get Terry

1395
00:58:57,119 --> 00:58:59,040
Larson on the phone uh

1396
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,280
>> before we vote?

1397
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,640
>> Correct.

1398
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,240
Uh,

1399
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,160
she's going to grab her phone.

1400
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:07,839
>> Um, the other thing I'll say, you know,

1401
00:59:07,839 --> 00:59:11,040
did uh I'm kind of assuming we're going

1402
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,119
to approve to put this on the ballot. We

1403
00:59:13,119 --> 00:59:15,119
then have to meet a deadline of wording

1404
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:18,480
for the ballot. Between now and then,

1405
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,119
please everyone keep an eye on us. We'll

1406
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:22,960
be having some town halls and some

1407
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,079
education where people can come and look

1408
00:59:26,079 --> 00:59:29,359
at pictures and diagrams and information

1409
00:59:29,359 --> 00:59:31,680
and education. Please keep an eye out

1410
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,000
for that information from the city so

1411
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,720
that you make an informed vote.

1412
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:43,589
Kelly, please come up. Kelly,

1413
00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:45,520
» I was just going to say when we applied

1414
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,799
for this grant, we applied for like I I

1415
00:59:48,799 --> 00:59:51,680
might be wrong, but like 5.9 million and

1416
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,240
the 3.7 was all they give us. So, we

1417
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,000
didn't

1418
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,319
not plan for how much the water tank was

1419
00:59:58,319 --> 01:00:00,240
going to be. We're just didn't get the

1420
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:00,799
money.

1421
01:00:00,799 --> 01:00:01,359
>> Good point.

1422
01:00:01,359 --> 01:00:02,799
>> Thank you for the update. Now, let me

1423
01:00:02,799 --> 01:00:05,119
just uh give some additional information

1424
01:00:05,119 --> 01:00:09,440
to the public and the council. Uh we

1425
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,440
have asked our engineers to rebid this

1426
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,359
as quick as possible under the

1427
01:00:15,359 --> 01:00:19,119
assumption that the voters will act in

1428
01:00:19,119 --> 01:00:22,720
the affirmative for this $2.5 million.

1429
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,599
But this next bid process

1430
01:00:25,599 --> 01:00:28,640
will include a provision and Jared can

1431
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,400
you come up briefly to basically state

1432
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,319
if the bids come in way high again there

1433
01:00:36,319 --> 01:00:39,440
will be a secondary aspect to the bid to

1434
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,920
give us another figure if we only can go

1435
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,200
do a million and a half gallon tank. Uh

1436
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,119
so Jared give us enlighten us a little

1437
01:00:47,119 --> 01:00:48,079
bit about that please.

1438
01:00:48,079 --> 01:00:51,520
>> Yeah. Yep. Um, so as as the mayor

1439
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,400
mentions, we've looked at uh what

1440
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,559
potentially could be the the city's in

1441
01:00:56,559 --> 01:00:58,000
the city's best interest for moving

1442
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,400
forward. Obviously, the city has made an

1443
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,480
investment in the design of this tank.

1444
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,400
The city needs this tank. The city wants

1445
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,559
to see this tank move forward. You have

1446
01:01:06,559 --> 01:01:08,960
the the almost $4 million in grant

1447
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,799
wanting to see that put to to beneficial

1448
01:01:10,799 --> 01:01:14,319
use. Um so as we went back and took a

1449
01:01:14,319 --> 01:01:17,520
look at things uh really we saw kind of

1450
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,240
three options for moving forward um the

1451
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,280
first option as has been discussed would

1452
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,400
to do a a bond election or or judicial

1453
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,480
confirmation obtain that authority to

1454
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,680
bond u to make up the the shortfall in

1455
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,960
the funding um and still only target a 2

1456
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,640
million gallon tank. That would be

1457
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,240
option number one. Um, option number two

1458
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:44,160
to hedge our bets. Um, it would take a

1459
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:45,839
little bit of of re-engineering.

1460
01:01:45,839 --> 01:01:50,160
Currently, the the tank is designed as a 2 million gallon tank. Um, but we

1461
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,440
could go back and re-engineer that to be

1462
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,720
a 1.5 million gallon tank uh with an

1463
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:00,559
adder to then go to 2 million gallons if

1464
01:02:00,559 --> 01:02:02,559
sufficient construction monies are

1465
01:02:02,559 --> 01:02:07,359
available. Um so that would take some additional engineering work to to

1466
01:02:07,359 --> 01:02:11,119
redo. Uh there are some options as we

1467
01:02:11,119 --> 01:02:13,280
were looking at that to make that work

1468
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,000
within the current engineering contract.

1469
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,319
Um to cover that additional engineering

1470
01:02:18,319 --> 01:02:20,960
work. Uh but that one would be one

1471
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,559
option. Um, and then the third option

1472
01:02:24,559 --> 01:02:28,559
would be to to forego the bonds to look

1473
01:02:28,559 --> 01:02:31,040
at reducing the size of the tank and

1474
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,200
then to to move forward with a a smaller

1475
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,760
tank. Um, something that the city could

1476
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,680
potentially afford with the the funding

1477
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,040
currently available.

1478
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:40,559
>> I don't know if you have these numbers

1479
01:02:40,559 --> 01:02:42,319
memorized.

1480
01:02:42,319 --> 01:02:44,880
2 million gallons. How many days does

1481
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,280
that give the city of Preston?

1482
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:48,319
>> I I do.

1483
01:02:48,319 --> 01:02:50,079
>> Maybe Scott would give us a better idea

1484
01:02:50,079 --> 01:02:52,160
or Brian even.

1485
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,160
We'll do how many we have currently

1486
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,799
>> based on the current usage. If we base

1487
01:02:56,799 --> 01:02:58,480
it on the waste water flows coming to

1488
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,400
the treatment plant, it be six to 10

1489
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:01,119
days

1490
01:03:01,119 --> 01:03:03,359
>> of emergency use

1491
01:03:03,359 --> 01:03:05,440
>> of the current usage of the city as

1492
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:05,839
right

1493
01:03:05,839 --> 01:03:07,599
>> an emergency I'm sure you can get people

1494
01:03:07,599 --> 01:03:08,720
to ration right

1495
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,799
>> and you can extend that even longer but

1496
01:03:10,799 --> 01:03:12,880
as current usage 2 million would be

1497
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:13,920
about

1498
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,680
>> because I think currently what's our

1499
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,000
storage capacity 6 million four and a

1500
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,559
half four and a half so we're we're

1501
01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:23,280
going up by 50% and it you're basically

1502
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,440
saying in an emergency it would add at

1503
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,839
least a week

1504
01:03:27,839 --> 01:03:30,480
of water to the houses while we get the

1505
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,480
thing fixed or whatever. Okay.

1506
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:32,799
>> Yeah.

1507
01:03:32,799 --> 01:03:33,280
>> Thank you.

1508
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:34,880
>> Obviously, what what's measured at the

1509
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,160
treatment plant doesn't account for

1510
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,720
outdoor water use, but as as Brian

1511
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,440
pointed out in an emergency, hopefully

1512
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,200
you would cretail that outdoor use and only provide what's needed for the

1513
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,960
home.

1514
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,559
And the idea I think council is if we

1515
01:03:50,559 --> 01:03:53,039
approve this,

1516
01:03:53,039 --> 01:03:55,440
we're going to rebid this ASAP because

1517
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,599
we don't have to accept the bid for 60

1518
01:03:57,599 --> 01:04:00,400
days and that will put us past the

1519
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,480
November election. In other words, we're

1520
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,359
doing we want to do what we can to not

1521
01:04:05,359 --> 01:04:08,400
have inflation rip our rip the cost of

1522
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,200
this. So it's insurmountable.

1523
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:12,400
>> Is that is that correct?

1524
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:12,960
>> That's correct.

1525
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:14,880
>> So you you're thinking September maybe

1526
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:16,880
we can rebid this? Yeah, we would we

1527
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,440
would get the bidding scheduled um you

1528
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,839
know, let's say September, typically a

1529
01:04:21,839 --> 01:04:24,319
three to four week bid process. Um so

1530
01:04:24,319 --> 01:04:25,520
that would mean the bids come in

1531
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,400
sometime in October. Uh the the election

1532
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,480
would be in November, but then as the

1533
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,319
mayor pointed out, um there's a

1534
01:04:32,319 --> 01:04:37,680
requirement that those bids that come in October are then able to be held for

1535
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,319
60 days. Um, and so that means the city

1536
01:04:40,319 --> 01:04:43,920
could respond to those biders um, as

1537
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,799
late as, you know, sometime in November,

1538
01:04:46,799 --> 01:04:48,160
so early December.

1539
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,960
>> Thank you, Jared. Any questions for him?

1540
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:51,520
>> Thanks, B.

1541
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,280
>> I was going to say that does that would

1542
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,200
still keep us on target for starting

1543
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:59,200
construction hopefully next spring.

1544
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,280
>> Uh, yeah, depending on their specific

1545
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,039
schedules. Yeah.

1546
01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:03,680
>> Yeah.

1547
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,119
>> So, potentially Earth.

1548
01:05:05,119 --> 01:05:06,480
>> We're trying not to lose time. We're

1549
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,559
trying to do all that all that stuff.

1550
01:05:08,559 --> 01:05:10,319
purpose behind it. So, just wanted to

1551
01:05:10,319 --> 01:05:11,280
make that clear.

1552
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,760
>> So, this is an action item. We need to

1553
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:17,039
uh get approval for the general

1554
01:05:17,039 --> 01:05:19,760
obligation bond, Mr. Fer. Right. And

1555
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,599
then we do the ordinance. Help us out

1556
01:05:21,599 --> 01:05:25,670
here, please.

1557
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,520
» Yeah, there's an ordinance in the in the

1558
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,480
packet that references potential ballot

1559
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,280
language, references the u the amount of

1560
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:37,520
the two up to 2.5 million. uh has the

1561
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,920
information that that we had as of when

1562
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,720
we put this together uh last week. So,

1563
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:46,400
in terms of uh motions, uh mayor, I I

1564
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,880
think you could uh take a entertain a

1565
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,720
vote or motion to have this uh placed on

1566
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,680
the ballot and then have a maybe a

1567
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,440
separate motion to introduce the

1568
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,680
ordinance and and go from there. Thank

1569
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,680
you. Okay. Okay, I'll entertain a motion

1570
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,640
to uh place a general obligation revenue

1571
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,200
bond on the November ballot for a 2

1572
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,280
milliongal water storage tank.

1573
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,240
>> I'll make a motion that we uh place a

1574
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,000
general obligation revenue bond on the

1575
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,240
November ballot for a 2 milli water

1576
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:16,960
storage tank.

1577
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,400
>> Thank you, Chris Larson. Is there a

1578
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:18,799
second?

1579
01:06:18,799 --> 01:06:19,920
>> I'll second it.

1580
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,440
>> Thank you, Mr. Thomas. All in favor?

1581
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,039
I I

1582
01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:26,160
>> I

1583
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,270
>> Terry.

1584
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:40,150
Uh Terry, are you there? Let me

1585
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,839
» nice.

1586
01:06:41,839 --> 01:06:50,710
>> Okay, we will pass the motion to the

1587
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,839
» Okay, can you hear? Okay, Terry.

1588
01:06:53,839 --> 01:06:56,000
>> Yeah, I apologize. I'm going through the

1589
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,920
rolling hills, Oregon, and that keeps

1590
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,559
dropping my service.

1591
01:07:00,559 --> 01:07:02,640
>> Okay, we we're voting on the motion to

1592
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,480
put this on the ballot. Terry, did you

1593
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:08,789
want to vote?

1594
01:07:08,799 --> 01:07:10,079
» Pardon?

1595
01:07:10,079 --> 01:07:12,319
>> Do you want to vote on the motion to put

1596
01:07:12,319 --> 01:07:14,319
this on the ballot?

1597
01:07:14,319 --> 01:07:15,119
>> Yes.

1598
01:07:15,119 --> 01:07:17,039
>> Okay. Motion carries. Four to nothing.

1599
01:07:17,039 --> 01:07:19,680
Thank you, Terry Larson. Okay. Next is

1600
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,640
we need to have a resolution for the

1601
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,880
general obligation revenue bond which

1602
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,200
has been prepared. Would someone like to

1603
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,039
introduce this uh ordinance?

1604
01:07:31,039 --> 01:07:32,480
>> Mayor, I'll make the motion that we

1605
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,920
introduce ordinance 2026-7 for a general

1606
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:41,990
obligation revenue bond.

1607
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:43,760
» Instruct our city clerk to read the

1608
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:45,839
ordinance in summary and wave the

1609
01:07:45,839 --> 01:07:48,640
reading of three consecutive days.

1610
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,160

this is a a good move and and our

1661
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,319
engineers. Thank you, Jared, for being

1662
01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:31,679
here and giving us a little further

1663
01:09:31,679 --> 01:09:35,520
explanation. Okay, we're on number nine.

1664
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,480
Amendment to owner consultant agreement

1665
01:09:38,480 --> 01:09:41,279
for the ch children pedestrian safety

1666
01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:44,080
ADA ramp. Scott, did you want to visit

1667
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,239
with that us about that or Jared, do you

1668
01:09:46,239 --> 01:09:48,799
want to talk about that at all?

1669
01:09:48,799 --> 01:09:52,880
>> Uh Lyall is Nope.

1670
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,960
>> Come on up, Jared. This is just a change

1671
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,320
order, I assume.

1672
01:09:58,320 --> 01:09:59,920
Shouldn't uh shouldn't let Scott off the

1673
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:04,800
hook. Um so what this is uh this is a I

1674
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,880
guess a good problem to have. Um in this

1675
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,440
case uh the sidewalk project that the

1676
01:10:09,440 --> 01:10:11,760
city received a grant for uh bids came

1677
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:15,040
in very favorably. Um and so the city

1678
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:19,600
was able to do additional work. Um so

1679
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,760
this amendment actually amends our

1680
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,920
contract to do additional design and

1681
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,800
then also construction um administration

1682
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,520
services associated with that sidewalk

1683
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:33,199
project. Um and so reader excavation has

1684
01:10:33,199 --> 01:10:34,960
been here in town. They've actually

1685
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,960
already completed um most or or all of

1686
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,920
the the base bid work. Um we had sent

1687
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,640
them some additional sidewalk to get

1688
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,080
started on on 4 East. Um and then

1689
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,280
there's also the potential uh ELTAC is

1690
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,000
supposed to be responding to us this

1691
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,800
week about potential additional funding

1692
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:58,719
besides the extra that the city already

1693
01:10:58,719 --> 01:11:01,920
had. um where you could be able to do

1694
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,719
even more. So, this is uh for that

1695
01:11:04,719 --> 01:11:06,239
additional services that that we would

1696
01:11:06,239 --> 01:11:07,920
be providing.

1697
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:09,679
>> As you recall, council, we have a bid,

1698
01:11:09,679 --> 01:11:12,000
I'm sorry, we have a grant for 250,000.

1699
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,800
The bid came in, I think, don't hold me

1700
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:16,719
to this, about 160. Yep.

1701
01:11:16,719 --> 01:11:20,719
>> And this is amending the contract to

1702
01:11:20,719 --> 01:11:22,880
give Reader Construction

1703
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,920
uh additional latitude to to do this

1704
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:26,880
extra work. Correct.

1705
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:28,880
>> Yep. Correct. Yeah. that that initial

1706
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,920
you know 90ish thousand of extra funds

1707
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,480
plus you know whatever LTAC comes back

1708
01:11:34,480 --> 01:11:36,239
with whatever extra funds they they have

1709
01:11:36,239 --> 01:11:38,239
available and for the purpose of the

1710
01:11:38,239 --> 01:11:41,199
public this money has to be spent by the

1711
01:11:41,199 --> 01:11:42,719
end of this fiscal year

1712
01:11:42,719 --> 01:11:46,000
>> uh by the I believe early September is

1713
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:47,360
the cut off point yeah

1714
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:47,840
>> okay

1715
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:48,239
>> so

1716
01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:50,400
>> thank you Jared any questions comments

1717
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,560

PUD. Sean's already on his way up. Thank

1792
01:15:00,719 --> 01:15:02,400
you, Sean.

1793
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,560
>> So, I just spoke with Mr. Rouse. Uh he's

1794
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,000
decided to withdraw his request, so uh

1795
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,360
we won't be considering that at this

1796
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,470
time.

1797
01:15:12,480 --> 01:15:14,719
» Thank you, Sean. It's an action item.

1798
01:15:14,719 --> 01:15:17,520
What do we do? just uh say the request

1799
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,840
has been withdrawn.

1800
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,560
>> You need a motion on it.

1801
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,159
>> Thank you very much, Linda. You've got

1802
01:15:24,159 --> 01:15:27,679
that, I'm sure. Okay. Uh we're down to

1803
01:15:27,679 --> 01:15:31,440
unless I missed something. Council and department head report on

1804
01:15:31,440 --> 01:15:34,320
the signed designations. Terry Larson,

1805
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:40,070
do you have anything to report?

1806
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:40,960
» No, we lost.

1807
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:42,880
>> He's gone. Brent Dodge.

1808
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:44,960
>> No. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Chris

1809
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:46,480
Larson.

1810
01:15:46,480 --> 01:15:47,920
>> Thing I just wanted to mention is that

1811
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,120
we're coming up on, believe it or not,

1812
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,360
the holiday season planning and things

1813
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,080
like that. Um, school's getting ready to

1814
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:58,480
start again. But as far as the

1815
01:15:58,480 --> 01:16:03,440
candlelight dinner is concerned, uh we are um having that again this year.

1816
01:16:03,440 --> 01:16:05,920
It will be on November the 7th, which is

1817
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:09,520
a Saturday. We would invite uh anybody

1818
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,600
in the community to come out to the

1819
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,239
candlelight dinner that everybody's

1820
01:16:14,239 --> 01:16:16,159
invited. We get asked every year, do you

1821
01:16:16,159 --> 01:16:18,080
have to be part of an organization or

1822
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:19,840
whatever? You don't. Individuals are

1823
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,560
more than welcome to purchase a seat for

1824
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,840
that catered dinner and uh come out to

1825
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,760
the Robinson building and enjoy that.

1826
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,520
There's a

1827
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,400
uh an a silent auction that goes on. uh

1828
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:33,840
any of the funds or anything that's

1829
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,719
raised always just goes back into uh the

1830
01:16:36,719 --> 01:16:38,960
traditions that we have downtown on

1831
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:40,880
Thanksgiving weekend as well as

1832
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,199
replacing lights uh downtown during the

1833
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:45,440
holiday season. So that's coming up. Put

1834
01:16:45,440 --> 01:16:47,440
it on your calendar. We'd love to see a

1835
01:16:47,440 --> 01:16:49,360
big turnout and honestly I'd love to see

1836
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,600
you purchase tickets early so that we

1837
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:52,640
know what to plan on.

1838
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,560
>> Thank you for that, Mr. Thomas.

1839
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,600
>> Believe it or not, nothing.

1840
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,920
>> Okay. And I'd like to have our uh

1841
01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:02,320
wastewater treatment plant operator

1842
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:06,000
director uh um Brian Moss. Thank you,

1843
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,239
Brian.

1844
01:17:08,239 --> 01:17:11,520
>> Yes, thank you. Uh progress report for

1845
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,239
the month of July. We're down to fine

1846
01:17:14,239 --> 01:17:15,520
details for the most part at the

1847
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:16,560
treatment plant. It's largely

1848
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,280
operational at this point. Um getting a

1849
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,360
lot of stuff crossed off of the punch

1850
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,760
list. Uh Keller's been great at showing

1851
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,360
up and making sure a lot of that stuff

1852
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,000
is done to completion and correctly. Um,

1853
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,480
we've added things here and there. Um,

1854
01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:32,480
RSCI has been great to work with as far

1855
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:34,560
as uh, making sure things are wrapped up

1856
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,880
for the most part. Um, getting a lot of

1857
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:40,880
cooperation with them. Uh, Violia, we're

1858
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:42,159
still working with trying to get the

1859
01:17:42,159 --> 01:17:44,000
membranes dialed in completely. They are

1860
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,159
operational and they are working and we

1861
01:17:46,159 --> 01:17:48,560
have gotten a lot of the things that uh,

1862
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:50,960
we need to to get those working. Uh, but

1863
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:52,239
we're still, you know, getting some of

1864
01:17:52,239 --> 01:17:55,360
those bugs worked out. Uh but as a whole

1865
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:57,600
as it is, the treatment plant has

1866
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,360
consistently been meeting our permit

1867
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,360
limits to levels that the city has not

1868
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,760
seen before. Uh the quality of the water

1869
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,280
going back into the creek is better than

1870
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:08,480
it's ever been uh for the month of July.

1871
01:18:08,480 --> 01:18:10,960
We have successfully treated and

1872
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,360
discharged over 16 million gallons back

1873
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,320
into the Worm Creek. Um through that

1874
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,360
process, we also uh uh accumulate

1875
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,120
bioolids in the process. That's not the

1876
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:22,400
same as trash that we're able to pull

1877
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:23,679
out in the beginning stages of the

1878
01:18:23,679 --> 01:18:26,320
treatment plant. Um, that's the bacteria

1879
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,159
and other bugs that are working to treat

1880
01:18:28,159 --> 01:18:29,920
the organics and other things of the

1881
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:31,760
wastewater. Uh, but that has to get

1882
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:33,760
wasted out regularly to maintain a

1883
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,159
healthy plant. Uh, we have removed 25

1884
01:18:36,159 --> 01:18:37,679
tons of that from the plant over the

1885
01:18:37,679 --> 01:18:41,760
month of July. Um, and these are ongoing

1886
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,159
processes that happen, you know, every

1887
01:18:44,159 --> 01:18:46,080
day. So, uh, we're working with the

1888
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:47,679
county and the landfill and how they

1889
01:18:47,679 --> 01:18:49,600
accept that and and they've been great

1890
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,679
to work with as well to help us, uh,

1891
01:18:51,679 --> 01:18:53,760
have a place for us to put that stuff.

1892
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,199
Um, Headworks, uh, we've seen some, uh,

1893
01:18:57,199 --> 01:18:59,520
work there with the HVAC system, uh,

1894
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,800
and, uh, Huber has been out to check on

1895
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:04,080
some of the equipment. We're still

1896
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:05,360
looking at some replacement of some

1897
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:06,800
equipment there that hasn't been working

1898
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,880
correctly. Uh, it is under warranty and

1899
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:10,960
Huber is going to be replacing that

1900
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:12,880
stuff. Um, we're just waiting on that

1901
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,480
because that's coming from Europe. So,

1902
01:19:14,480 --> 01:19:17,280
it takes time to get here right now. Uh,

1903
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,120
as far as everything else, like I said,

1904
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:20,640
we're just down to fine details for the

1905
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,360
most part.

1906
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,280
Brian, if I can ask, put you on the spot

1907
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,320
a little bit. You stated that our water

1908
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:32,400
uh quality from the treatment plant is

1909
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,280
better than ever. Can you

1910
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:39,440
give us a specific from what to what?

1911
01:19:39,440 --> 01:19:41,199
Are we getting close to DEEQ

1912
01:19:41,199 --> 01:19:41,760
requirement?

1913
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:43,280
>> Right. So, a lot of the things that we

1914
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,360
have to remove uh the suspended solids

1915
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,600
in the wastewater, the uh a lot of the

1916
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:52,320
uh components that create a demand on

1917
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,159
the oxygen from the wastewater, you

1918
01:19:54,159 --> 01:19:55,600
know, so we don't want to cause fish

1919
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:57,600
kills and things like that by putting

1920
01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,440
oxygen depleted water back out to the

1921
01:19:59,440 --> 01:20:01,040
creek, things like that.

1922
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:02,800
um the percent removal that we have to

1923
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,360
get from a lot of the uh minerals and

1924
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,600
other uh things that are carried in

1925
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,960
wastewater. Uh prior to uh this

1926
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:12,320
treatment plant that we currently are

1927
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:15,760
operating, we were consistently in the

1928
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:19,760
best day low 90s mainly in the mid 80%

1929
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,080
range of removal. We are consistently

1930
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,760
hitting 98 99% removal of all these

1931
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,560
things right now. So it's very very

1932
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:30,159
clean going back into the creek. That's

1933
01:20:30,159 --> 01:20:32,320
got to be impressive to the regulators.

1934
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:34,400
>> It helps keep them off our back. Yes.

1935
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,320
>> So, let me ask you this. Is it clean

1936
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:38,159
enough that you'd drink it?

1937
01:20:38,159 --> 01:20:40,080
>> I wouldn't go that far. I was I think

1938
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:41,920
Terry asked me that before, too. And and

1939
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:43,760
I I would probably send it through

1940
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,920
another filter before that. But, but we

1941
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:47,920
are seeing because of treatments and

1942
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:49,760
technologies like we have right now

1943
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,239
where ideas of putting a water treatment

1944
01:20:52,239 --> 01:20:53,520
plant on the end of a wastewater

1945
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,120
treatment plant is not very far off

1946
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:56,800
anymore.

1947
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:58,719
So, uh, and also to mention, uh, the

1948
01:20:58,719 --> 01:21:01,280
city Preston will be hosting, uh, there

1949
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,040
are organizations out there that help

1950
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,840
operators maintain their licenses. And,

1951
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,080
uh, Southeast Idaho operator section is

1952
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,640
one of those. And that concludes

1953
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,640
operators from both water and wastewater

1954
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,280
in Southeast Idaho. And they will be

1955
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:16,800
coming here for a class this week. And

1956
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:18,640
we will also be including a tour of the

1957
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:22,560
plant for them while they're here.

1958
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:23,840
>> Good report. Thank you.

1959
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:25,199
>> May I have Go ahead, please.

1960
01:21:25,199 --> 01:21:27,600
>> Yeah. So there's two stages as I

1961
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,199
understand it. Actually there's a lot

1962
01:21:29,199 --> 01:21:31,440
more stages but the uh the sand

1963
01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:33,600
filtration system and then the membrane

1964
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,400
system. Um

1965
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,239
I guess there was a there was some

1966
01:21:38,239 --> 01:21:41,120
confusion or maybe a lack of fitting

1967
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,840
problem with the membranes and and

1968
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:45,199
that's the part that you spoke about

1969
01:21:45,199 --> 01:21:48,480
that they're fixing that right?

1970
01:21:48,480 --> 01:21:50,000
>> Something of that. Yes.

1971
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:53,840
>> Yeah. I was just curious on how was it

1972
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:55,440
really necessary that we go to the

1973
01:21:55,440 --> 01:21:58,639
membrane or are you able to get the

1974
01:21:58,639 --> 01:22:02,320
quality of uh get us up to the uh level

1975
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:05,120
or a standard with just the sand uh

1976
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:06,480
filtration system?

1977
01:22:06,480 --> 01:22:08,639
>> Uh there's probably a dozen or more

1978
01:22:08,639 --> 01:22:10,239
different processes that could have been

1979
01:22:10,239 --> 01:22:12,159
used. Uh this one was probably most

1980
01:22:12,159 --> 01:22:13,920
likely selected because of the level of

1981
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,480
our flows and the footprint. Uh we don't

1982
01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:18,320
have a lot of area out there. The sand

1983
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:19,679
filters would have required a much

1984
01:22:19,679 --> 01:22:21,360
bigger footprint to be able to handle

1985
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,000
the same amount of flows. So, you know,

1986
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:25,360
that that would have definitely been

1987
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:29,520
impacted with the decisions there.

1988
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:31,679
>> So, we don't have both. We just have the

1989
01:22:31,679 --> 01:22:32,960
>> No, we just have the membrane.

1990
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,480
>> Oh, okay. Very good. Thank you.

1991
01:22:36,480 --> 01:22:41,040
>> Any other questions? Hey, thanks, Brian.

1992
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:51,590
Chief McMan.

1993
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,840
The police department responded 204

1994
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:55,440
calls for service during the month of

1995
01:22:55,440 --> 01:22:57,760
July and 43 of those were just on the

1996
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:00,480
rodeo weekend. Officers issued 64

1997
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:02,480
infractions with 26 were on the rodeo

1998
01:23:02,480 --> 01:23:04,560
weekend. 11 misdemeanor, two were on the

1999
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,760
rodeo weekend. 19 city citations, which

2000
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,239
17 were on rodeo weekend. filed four

2001
01:23:10,239 --> 01:23:12,960
felonies and conducted 229 traffic stops

2002
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,000
which 63 of those were on rodeo weekend.

2003
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,520
Copy the calls been attached as well as

2004
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:19,920
the month of reported dispositions.

2005
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:21,360
During the month of July, we had a lot

2006
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,600
of department training. We had a use of

2007
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,239
legal use of force legal update from IIC

2008
01:23:26,239 --> 01:23:28,719
crimp. We completed a CPR research

2009
01:23:28,719 --> 01:23:31,360
training and we appreciate Katie Golitly

2010
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:33,920
for doing that for us. I had Matt

2011
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:35,760
Dassler conduct some Archon training for

2012
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,199
us and ITD came down and helped officers

2013
01:23:39,199 --> 01:23:40,960
uh Gaye and Griffin get trained up on

2014
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:42,880
the use of the new school lights out on

2015
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,760
91 by the junior high. Uh those new

2016
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:47,520
lights are way easier to program and

2017
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,000
hopefully they'll be more easily seen by

2018
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,800
traffic. We survived the rodeo weekend

2019
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,480
which was extremely busy for us and it

2020
01:23:54,480 --> 01:23:55,679
sounds like it's going to get even worse

2021
01:23:55,679 --> 01:23:57,280
for us with them adding another day to

2022
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,000
it. Uh making it almost an entire week

2023
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,480
for us instead of just a weekend. There

2024
01:24:02,480 --> 01:24:03,840
were some issues that came up with the

2025
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,360
parade and I'll be discussing those with

2026
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,440
the head of the parade committee uh

2027
01:24:07,440 --> 01:24:09,920
hopefully pretty soon so they can get uh

2028
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,560
working on it by the end of the by the

2029
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:15,120
time they get started for the next one.

2030
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:16,639
The officers that were on foot patrol

2031
01:24:16,639 --> 01:24:18,320
during the parade had some very positive

2032
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,480
interactions with the community. It has

2033
01:24:20,480 --> 01:24:21,760
also been very helpful to have an

2034
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:23,760
officer assigned to take calls on each

2035
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:25,280
side of the city. Seems how we can't get

2036
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:29,120
across uh each side very quickly.

2037
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:31,199
We did have several accidents over rodeo

2038
01:24:31,199 --> 01:24:32,880
weekend, which is expected when we have

2039
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:34,960
so many visitors and such an enormous

2040
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,360
increase in traffic. I would like to

2041
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,199
give a huge thank you to Bill Chambers

2042
01:24:39,199 --> 01:24:41,120
with Northstar's Ultimate Outdoors for

2043
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,679
providing us a side by side to use over

2044
01:24:43,679 --> 01:24:45,920
the weekend. We did have an ambulance

2045
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:47,520
call during the parade one of the nights

2046
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:49,040
and it helped to have the side by side

2047
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:51,120
to assist getting the ambulance to the

2048
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,199
hospital. Now, we move on to the

2049
01:24:53,199 --> 01:24:55,120
Franklin County Fair and school starts

2050
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,000
on August 24th. Um, one thing I'd like

2051
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,840
to mention is you're talking about

2052
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:02,320
sidewalks. That's one thing I noticed

2053
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:04,880
over the the rodeo weekend. We really

2054
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,920
need to look at getting sidewalks on 300

2055
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,840
North and around our uh parks and

2056
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,239
fairgrounds. There's a lot of foot track

2057
01:25:14,239 --> 01:25:16,960
over foot foot traffic over there year

2058
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:19,760
round on a lot of things. 300 North has

2059
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:22,000
zero sidewalk on it heading towards the

2060
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,320
fairgrounds and so there people are

2061
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:25,760
having to walk in the lane of traffic.

2062
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,239
So, I would just as as in the in the

2063
01:25:28,239 --> 01:25:30,320
coming years as we start looking at at

2064
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:31,760
sidewalk, that was that would be one

2065
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:33,679
that I would suggest putting on top of

2066
01:25:33,679 --> 01:25:36,560
the list.

2067
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:38,320
>> A good suggestion. I'm surprised that

2068
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,639
hasn't been suggested before to be

2069
01:25:40,639 --> 01:25:42,480
honest with you. Thank you. Any other

2070
01:25:42,480 --> 01:25:44,639
questions for the chief?

2071
01:25:44,639 --> 01:25:46,560
Thank you,

2072
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:48,880
Mr. Montgomery. You're chomping at the

2073
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:54,470
bit here.

2074
01:25:54,480 --> 01:25:56,320
All right, the last little bit we've had

2075
01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:00,239
a a water leak on Second West, 186 South

2076
01:26:00,239 --> 01:26:02,320
where we had to pull a new service line

2077
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,040
for that house. Um, we've painted

2078
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,440
crosswalks and we do have a few more to

2079
01:26:07,440 --> 01:26:11,120
go. Um,

2080
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,000
we cut down the tree that was behind

2081
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,400
Carquest in that little alleyway. It had

2082
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:18,000
a big crack in it, so we got it down

2083
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,239
before it came down on someone's

2084
01:26:20,239 --> 01:26:21,600
vehicle.

2085
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:24,080
Uh we've had the tree stumps ground

2086
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,639
down. We've put sod back in into place

2087
01:26:26,639 --> 01:26:29,760
or hardly even know that they're gone.

2088
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:33,040
Uh we had a water leaky on 2200 South

2089
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,840
1164 East.

2090
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:37,440
Um

2091
01:26:37,440 --> 01:26:39,760
we put up and taken down the rodeo flags

2092
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:42,800
on Main Street.

2093
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,520
We've had two water meters that we had

2094
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,440
issues with that wasn't reading right

2095
01:26:47,440 --> 01:26:50,000
when we got there to change them out.

2096
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,159
realized that they were way too deep and

2097
01:26:52,159 --> 01:26:53,840
we were not able to work on them at that

2098
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:57,120
time. So, we had to raise them up. Our

2099
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,840
Vermeier vac

2100
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:02,960
has had to go to Idaho Falls to get some

2101
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,360
work done on it. It

2102
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:08,639
quit working on us. Um, having some

2103
01:27:08,639 --> 01:27:11,600
issues with it. We trim the trees behind

2104
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:14,400
the the furniture store so it's not

2105
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,400
rubbing their trailer or their truck as

2106
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,520
they go in and out of the alleyway.

2107
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,080
uh the sidewalks, the ADA ramps, they

2108
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:23,679
pretty well completed everything over

2109
01:27:23,679 --> 01:27:26,880
here in this section of town that they

2110
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,199
was originally contracted to do. They

2111
01:27:29,199 --> 01:27:31,920
are now over on fourth east. They're

2112
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,960
going to start that tomorrow.

2113
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:38,239
Uh Scott Weekes has been out on the road

2114
01:27:38,239 --> 01:27:41,040
grader on our couple gravel roads that

2115
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:42,880
we've had. He's been smoothing those up.

2116
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:46,000
Gordon's been out in the patch truck and

2117
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:47,760
the dump truck that we have ordered a

2118
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,239
couple years ago. I finally got the text

2119
01:27:50,239 --> 01:27:52,239
saying that it is done. It's just got to

2120
01:27:52,239 --> 01:27:54,239
get delivered.

2121
01:27:54,239 --> 01:27:57,510
So,

2122
01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,800
» do does our sidewalk contractors readers

2123
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:02,480
are they aware that schools start on

2124
01:28:02,480 --> 01:28:04,639
August 24th and will they get that done

2125
01:28:04,639 --> 01:28:06,239
in the next two weeks?

2126
01:28:06,239 --> 01:28:08,000
>> That's why he says that they will be

2127
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:09,040
done.

2128
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:09,600
>> Thank you.

2129
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:10,960
>> So,

2130
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,280
>> any questions for Mr. Montgomery.

2131
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:20,950
Thanks, Scott. Sean

2132
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:23,280
uh coordinated a meeting with Jones and

2133
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:26,880
DeL as well as public works and facer

2134
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:28,800
excavation on the eighth north waterline

2135
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,400
project. We'll have another meeting on

2136
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,960
the 12th. Um and then they should be

2137
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:37,120
starting that on the 17th. Um so far so

2138
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,280
good. I think uh everything went pretty

2139
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,360
smooth at that initial meeting. Uh we'll

2140
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:43,120
kind of see how that goes uh once

2141
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,600
construction actually starts. But uh I

2142
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,800
think we've made a good choice there. Um

2143
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:50,639
we'll get uh once the budget passes,

2144
01:28:50,639 --> 01:28:53,840
I'll start looking for uh

2145
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:55,679
grants for the impact study and capital

2146
01:28:55,679 --> 01:28:59,199
improvements plan. Um been refining a

2147
01:28:59,199 --> 01:29:00,960
few things in cloud permit uh tweaking

2148
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,000
the different uh certificates and

2149
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:08,159
permits. Um so uh that's going well.

2150
01:29:08,159 --> 01:29:10,719
still running in the system, but it's uh seems to be working pretty well

2151
01:29:10,719 --> 01:29:15,120
for us. Um we made the purchase for the

2152
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:18,400
downtown Rotary Park of the uh the

2153
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:20,800
banner signs, the metal banner signs.

2154
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:23,120
So, those are going to be uh that bill

2155
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:26,239
was signed this just just now. And that

2156
01:29:26,239 --> 01:29:28,719
uh those will be fabricated and then

2157
01:29:28,719 --> 01:29:31,280
delivered. Um and then we'll be

2158
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:32,639
responsible though to get them

2159
01:29:32,639 --> 01:29:35,440
installed. So, uh I think we still have

2160
01:29:35,440 --> 01:29:37,440
a little bit of money left over um on

2161
01:29:37,440 --> 01:29:39,600
those ARPA funds that were obligated to

2162
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:41,920
that. Um so, we'll have to look and see

2163
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:43,520
what we can get done with that, but u

2164
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:44,639
you know, maybe a little bit of concrete

2165
01:29:44,639 --> 01:29:46,960
and a few things like that.

2166
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:49,920
Um our domain name lapsed uh for a few

2167
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:53,199
hours. So, um

2168
01:29:53,199 --> 01:29:56,080
we uh purchased uh re repurchased it for

2169
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,000
nine years. So, that won't happen again

2170
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:59,679
for a long time. Probably by the time

2171
01:29:59,679 --> 01:30:00,800
that happens again, we'll have forgotten

2172
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:02,960
about it and have to figure it out.

2173
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,760
um working with Lyall on a few things as

2174
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,120
far as water code and how wells can be

2175
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:12,400
uh integrated into the city or not. Um

2176
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:14,080
so we've been discussing a few things

2177
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,480
and uh once we get everything ironed

2178
01:30:16,480 --> 01:30:18,880
out, I'll bring that back to you on uh

2179
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:21,440
what we've what we determine.

2180
01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:23,040
Um

2181
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,239
Kellen Associates um had a few things on

2182
01:30:26,239 --> 01:30:28,719
Silver Sage PUD phase one. So, they're

2183
01:30:28,719 --> 01:30:30,800
going to make a few changes to their uh

2184
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,600
construction documents. And then, uh

2185
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:35,600
their final PL should be forthcoming

2186
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:40,000
shortly after that. And then, um

2187
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:42,239
also with that, there may be a request

2188
01:30:42,239 --> 01:30:45,280
of a zone change on the south end of

2189
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:49,920
that property. Um there was a kind of a

2190
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:51,920
single lot that they were planning

2191
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,320
initially on doing just some additional

2192
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:57,440
multifamily housing. Uh however uh with

2193
01:30:57,440 --> 01:31:00,800
interest in the commercial side um the

2194
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:02,000
people who are interested in that want

2195
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:03,600
it to be want that lot to be changed to

2196
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:04,880
commercial so they can purchase it for

2197
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,840
their use. So uh that may be forthcoming

2198
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:12,719
here soon as well. Um

2199
01:31:12,719 --> 01:31:14,880
we had the forecast board meeting on the

2200
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:16,960
6th. Uh I was elected chair of the board

2201
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:19,440
again this year.

2202
01:31:19,440 --> 01:31:21,120
Uh updated the website with information

2203
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:24,320
for Rex soccer. And then uh included in

2204
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,360
your packet, there was a world atlas uh

2205
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:30,880
article where Preston was named uh one

2206
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,360
of the nine towns in Idaho for a weekend

2207
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:35,760
retreat. So that's kind of a cool thing

2208
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:38,080
uh that they did. Uh so I just encourage

2209
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,000
you to read that and if anybody um

2210
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:41,280
anybody out in the community would like

2211
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:42,800
a copy of that as well, I've got a copy

2212
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:45,520
that they can read. So any questions

2213
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:46,400
about anything?

2214
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:47,280
>> Thank you.

2215
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,360
>> Thanks, Sean. Good report. This

2216
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:51,360
concludes our council meeting. Our

2217
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:52,880
commissioner informed me that he had to

2218
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:56,159
get over to the fair before 6:30. He had

2219
01:31:56,159 --> 01:31:58,080
nothing to report. So, we will now

2220
01:31:58,080 --> 01:31:59,520
adjourn this meeting and we will

2221
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,400
reconvene on August 24th, which will be

2222
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,880
our public hearing for our budget. Thank

2223
01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:07,840
you everyone.
