1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,574
Heat.

2
00:00:04,584 --> 00:00:18,790
[music]

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:03:37,910
Heat.

4
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,840
All right, I have six o'clock. I'd like

5
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,360

00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,319

00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:48,799
Um, I will call the meeting to order and

00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:52,560
ask for approval of the August 18th uh

10
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,480
meeting agenda. I'll make that motion

11
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,519
there.

12
00:03:55,519 --> 00:03:56,159

23
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,280
>> yes.

24
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,879
>> Please bow your head. Moment of silent

25
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:11,910
prayer.

26
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,439
» Amen. Please stand for the pledge of

27
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:17,349
allegiance.

28
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:20,560
I aliance to the flag of the United

29
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,440
States of America and to the republic

30
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,400
for which it stands. One nation under

God, indivisible, with liberty and

32
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,430
justice for all.

33
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,639
» Roll call.

34
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:37,440
>> Gdone,

35
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,800
>> I am here.

36
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,520

00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,479

38
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:41,680
>> Mallister Atkins

39
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,479

40
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:43,040
>> Street

41
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:43,520
>> here.

42
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,320
>> El Janzik

43
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,320
>> here.

44
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Okay, we have a certificate of an open

45
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,600
meeting and um I'll ask for approval of

46
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,639
the minutes from the July 20th, 2026

47
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:55,759
council meeting.

48
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:57,600
>> So moved.

49
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,510
>> Jinx.

50
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,680
» Good job. You and Guy did it together.

51
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,520
>> Joanie got it. All right. Do we have a

52
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,960
second?

53
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,520
>> Second.

54
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,199

>> yes.

59
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,800
>> Mallister Atkins,

60
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:17,360
>> yes.

61
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:17,919
>> Street,

62
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:18,320
>> yes.

63
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,120
>> Aljansk,

64
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,720
>> yes.

65
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,080
>> Okay. Presented in front of you is the

66
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,840
mayor's court report of receipts and

67
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:25,919
disimbursements for the month ending

68
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:28,720
July 31, 2026. I'd ask [snorts] that you

69
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,039
accept those as presented. And that

70
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:34,160
brings us to the financial report. Mr.

71
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,039
Matt, floor is yours.

72
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:38,800
>> Thank you, Mayor. Uh for the finance

73
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,400
report for the month of July, uh income

74
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520
taxes were actually down 1.2% from this

75
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,919
time last year. Uh we're seeing a a

76
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:49,360
pretty drastic reduction in the

77
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,199
corporate net profit bucket of the

78
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:53,759
income taxes, which we think may kind of

79
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:56,560
be a new normal at this point. uh if all

80
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,240
else remains equal. Um [clears throat]

81
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,400
uh which which and if that that being

82
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,160
the case, if that is true, it could be a

83
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,039
loss of somewhere around $200,000 a year

84
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:08,800
in income tax revenue, which will of

85
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,440
course have to be made up in in budget

86
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,880
in the budget process, which we are

87
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,199
currently going through. Uh the general

88
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:18,400
fund balance is down uh from last month

89
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,880
in light of the additional transfers we

90
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,639
did to the capital fund for city hall

91
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:25,039
that were approved by council.

92
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:27,120
Uh the expenditure budget benchmark is

93
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,720
58% for the month of July. Uh all funds

94
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,680
are at 52%. The the general fund is at

95
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,360
55%

96
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,440
when excluding transfers out. Star Ohio

97
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,400
interest rate was 3.83%.

98
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,240
And then I would like to draw special

99
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,680
attention to the brand new seventh page

100
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,520
of the finance report. Uh this is and

101
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,280
I'm going to be going over the audit

102
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,960
results here in a moment, but this is a

103
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,960
direct result of one of those uh

104
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,120
management letter comments. Uh they

105
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,360
would like to see and they are

106
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,160
technically correct uh that the then

107
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,560
purchase orders over $3,000 be

108
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,199
specifically approved by council. So for

109
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:11,360
the month of July, these were the uh

110
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,199
purchase orders. Uh just as a quick

111
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,199
refresher, a then and now purchase order

112
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,520
is a purchase order where the uh

113
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,840
purchase order date is after the date.

114
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,240
So those are listed there. Happy to

115
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,560
answer any additional questions on that.

116
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,240
I I am going to talk a little bit here

117
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,919
now about the audit results. Are there

118
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:31,599
any questions on the finance report

119
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:33,599
before I jump into that?

120
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:36,560
>> Can you just expand? I mean some then

121
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800
are like when there's an emergency it's

122
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,319
inevitable. Is that correct?

123
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:42,000
>> Oh absolutely. the the reason that they

124
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,840
have their own name, which is then and

125
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,080
now, and that they're um you know,

126
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000
discussed in the law, is that they have

127
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,319
a good use and purpose um in in regular

128
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:54,479
activities and things like emergencies

129
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:57,280
or other things. Uh other things can can

130
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000
certainly crop up um and that's what

131
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,720
results in a lot of those. But because

132
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,800
uh historically we hadn't been

133
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,960
specifically approving them here, I do

134
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,319
think there's a little bit of an element

135
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,039
that the they were kind of being done

136
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:13,199
out of order at a at a rate that maybe

137
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:14,400
is a little more than we would have

138
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,400
liked. Uh which the auditors caught on

139
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,840
to too. So we're going to take special

140
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,280
care to make sure that those are being

141
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,960
done in the right order going forward.

142
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,560
We've always been in in you know

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,400
budgetary compliance and things like

144
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,120
that. But just keeping these things

145
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,000
straight for for the sake of the audit

146
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,440
and best practices.

147
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,399
>> Okay.

148
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:35,200
>> Can you It looks like one of them the

149
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,959
payment was made before the actual

150
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:40,560
purchase order was made. Is that typical

151
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:41,839
because it looks like the other ones the

152
00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:43,350
payment is always after at least

153
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:44,480
[snorts] the purchase order.

154
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,360
>> That one must be a special case because

155
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,519
theoretically we can't

156
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:51,279
>> Yeah. or something in the system perhaps

157
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:53,680
because we we can't even push through a

158
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,279
payment without there being a purchase

159
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:57,519
order in place. So that might be a thing

160
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:01,200
where the the payment uh was originally

161
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,680
initiated on a certain day and saved as

162
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:05,440
a draft and finished up later and it

163
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,279
took on the original date. It's

164
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:09,600
possible, but it the system does not let

165
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,920
us uh actually post large payments

166
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,839
without a purchase order being in place.

167
00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:16,399
So strictly speaking, that's not

168
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,160
possible. So I'd have to look into that

169
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,000
one specifically and why it's stated the

170
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,720
way it's stated.

171
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,440
>> Sounds good.

172
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,350
>> Okay.

173
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,399
» Good. Good there.

174
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:26,800
>> Yep.

175
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,800
>> All right. Uh we'll hop over to the

176
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,440
audit results. As I said, uh there was

177
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,880
one uh audit finding uh which related to

178
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,880
the posting of estimated resources to

179
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,000
the ERP system. Uh while it should be

180
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,760
noted that we were in full legal

181
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,760
compliance with budgetary law the entire

182
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,000
time, there's uh no issues on that

183
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,120
front. Uh we're just going to take extra

184
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,640
to make sure that the system reflects

185
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,800
what is certified by council and the

186
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,279
county uh and everything was fully above

187
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,560
board in in that in that case. There

188
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,160
were also three management letter

189
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,760
comments. Management letter comments are

190
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,800
much uh smaller uh things that auditors

191
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,800
kind of find as they're going through

192
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,640
and they suggest to clean up best

193
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,640
practices and things like that. Uh one

194
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,920
of them is the then and now purchase

195
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,360
orders that we just went over. So I

196
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,240
won't belabor that too much. Uh second

197
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,120
is uh an issue with uh on behalf

198
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,399
payments. Uh quick you know explanation

199
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:25,760
an on behalf payment happens when a

200
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,959
generally a grantor or a lessor pays a

201
00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:31,680
vendor directly. Uh these are largely uh

202
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,720
larger projects

203
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,750
essay

204
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,600
the contractor directly for the work

205
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,279
they did and the money never passes

206
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:44,320
through the city. uh because of that a

207
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,160
lot of entities and I have seen it a lot

208
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,399
in my career will just not post those

209
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:50,240
because there's no money changing

210
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,480
physical hands and they bring it on as

211
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,160
part of the year end work to do the

212
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,000
audit report. They bring that activity

213
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,800
on. Uh it's done a lot. This group of

214
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,800
auditors doesn't like it. They want to

215
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,839
see it be posted simple enough to fix.

216
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:07,360
We're just going to start posting it.

217
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,040
that they'll get posted as an equivalent

218
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,120
revenue and expense so that it doesn't

219
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,519
affect the the balances of the books at

220
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:14,480
all.

221
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,200
>> So, we'll start doing that. And then the

222
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,640
third thing uh was an unfortunate

223
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,800
scheduling issue. Uh the records

224
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,720
commission uh is required to meet twice

225
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,519
per year. In 2025, our December meeting

226
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:29,519
ran into some scheduling issues and got

227
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:31,279
pushed into, I think, early to mid

228
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,760
January. They took issue with it. They

229
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,120
pointed it out. We're just going to make

230
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,279
sure we do too this year. and the one

231
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,519
that got pushed into January then is one

232
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,760
for this year. So, kind of corrects

233
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,120
itself a little bit. So, we're just

234
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,880
gonna make sure that uh that that gets

235
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,600
done, but uh nothing too major there.

236
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,200
And that's uh that's what was found. Any

237
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,600
questions? Happy to answer them.

238
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,839
>> So, for the record, they only met once

239
00:11:57,839 --> 00:11:59,360
in 2025,

240
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,120
>> right? And and they're required to meet

241
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,560
twice and that's what was

242
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,040
>> Okay. [snorts]

243
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,760
And this was In your former career, this

244
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,600
is what you did, correct?

245
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,399
>> Um, in a fashion. Yeah, I was I was more

246
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,240
on the consulting side of the auditor's

247
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,200
office, but I [clears throat] worked

248
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,040
very closely with the auditors doing

249
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,800
this work. Yeah.

250
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,519
>> Very good. And

251
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:23,760
what these kind of these kind of letters

252
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,200
typical for a city or a municipality?

253
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,959
>> Yeah. Especially uh this is our first

254
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:32,160
year with this audit group. um the this

255
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,440
the state [cough and clears throat] the

256
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,120
state is of course required to audit all

257
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,959
these entities every year. They don't

258
00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:38,720
have the manpower to do that. So they

259
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,360
are by law allowed to farm these um

260
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,279
these out [snorts] and so the the state

261
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:44,880
will take you back for a while just to

262
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,560
keep things fresh, make sure new eyes

263
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,240
are getting on the audit. This year they

264
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,399
farmed this out. Uh, again, this is our

265
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:52,079
first time with these auditors, and that

266
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:55,279
will typically come with um them picking

267
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,760
up on things that maybe they're more

268
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,760
concerned about than another audit group

269
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,399
or the previous auditors have looked at

270
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,560
your stuff so many times that they don't

271
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,320
notice anymore. And that's the purpose

272
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,959
of getting the fresh eyes. So, but yeah,

273
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:11,200
it's pretty it's I I've never seen an

274
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,120
audit report that didn't have management

275
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,480
letter comments. There's always

276
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,560
something you can improve on, uh, which

277
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,519
is perfectly fine. Sure.

278
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:20,880
All right. Good.

279
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,240
>> Any other questions for Matt?

280
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,360
>> No.

281
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,680
>> Okay. I'll entertain a motion uh to

282
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,720
approve the July 2026 monthly finance

283
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,200
report.

284
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,760
>> I'll make a motion to approve the uh

285
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,240
July 31st, 2026 financial report.

286
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,680
>> I'll second.

287
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:39,839
>> Okay, let's go ahead and vote.

288
00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:40,639
>> Gdone,

289
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:41,200
>> yes.

290
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,000
>> Johnston,

291
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:42,480
>> yes.

292
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,760
>> Mallister Atkins,

293
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,320
>> yes.

294
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,120
>> Street,

295
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,600
>> yes.

296
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,480
>> Alans,

297
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,160
>> yes.

298
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,320
Okay, next up is resolution number 26-48

299
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,880
>> being a resolution approving the 2027

300
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,120
alternative tax budget document for the

301
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,760
city of Lewisville.

302
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,279
>> I'll make the motion we bring resolution

303
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:05,120
number 2648 to the table for discussion.

304
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,189
>> A second.

305
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:10,800
» All right, mayor. So, the approval of

306
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,839
the alternative tax budget is just a

307
00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:15,920
signaling to the county auditor office

308
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,680
that there is a need for the property

309
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,839
taxes that they collect on our behalf.

310
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:30,069
It's an annual um an annual resolution.

311
00:14:30,079 --> 00:14:31,920
» Is this it? Just this inside millillage

312
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,680
is that all it's

313
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,839
>> that's what we get from the

314
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:37,440
>> auditor's collections. Correct. Yes.

315
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,160
>> Okay. All

316
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480
right. Same as what we've done in past

317
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,040
years.

318
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,680
>> Every year.

319
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,360
>> Okay.

320
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,310
>> Very good.

321
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,240
» Good. Good to vote.

322
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:52,880
>> Good to vote.

323
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,480
>> All right. Let's do it.

324
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,199

>> Mallister Atkins,

329
00:14:58,399 --> 00:14:58,959
>> yes.

00:14:58,959 --> 00:14:59,519
>> Street,

00:14:59,519 --> 00:14:59,920
>> yes.

332
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:00,720
>> Aljansk,

00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,600
>> yes.

334
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,199
>> Okay. Next up is ordinance number 26-49.

335
00:15:05,199 --> 00:15:06,880
being an ordinance accepting the final

336
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
plot for a fire at Orchard Park number

337
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,000
2B located within the corporate limits

338
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,320
of the city of Lewisville, Ohio.

339
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,600
>> I'll make a motion that we bring

340
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,079
ordinance number 2649 to the table for

341
00:15:18,079 --> 00:15:21,040
its first reading. Second.

342
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,639
>> All right, mayor. So, as uh Tiffany

343
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:25,279
said, this is the um first reading of

344
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:27,040
the accepting of the final plot. This

345
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,839
the area that we're talking about is the

346
00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:32,000
northeast portion of that residential

347
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
development. Uh this is just the first

348
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,680
reading, but if you have any questions,

349
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,120
uh Mr. Juliani from the the developer is

350
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:46,069
here to answer them along with Dave.

351
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:48,320
» I know we we've talked about this a lot.

352
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,160
Anything else you'd like to share?

353
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,399
>> Not at this time, Mayor. Pretty much

354
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:54,160
self-explanatory.

355
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,759
>> Y

356
00:15:55,759 --> 00:15:56,959
>> anything else you want to share, Mr.

357
00:15:56,959 --> 00:15:57,680
Giuliani?

358
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,199
>> Uh no, it's the next step. It's going to

359
00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:04,000
be 41.

360
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,959
single family lots. They're making great

361
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:11,749
progress. I just got out there today

362
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:14,720
and it should be ready soon.

363
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,399
It's already signed the contract with

364
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:18,240
the city. So, they'll be posting a bond

365
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,040
here soon. Um, get ready for the second

366
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,560
reading and hope we'll get everything

367
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,000
filed right after that because jumping

368
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,440
into get lots. Um,

369
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,279
and I'm kind of pumped after seeing

370
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:34,000
that. repository article St. Louisville

371
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,240
is like a hot area in the county,

372
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,639
>> right?

373
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:40,959
>> Which is great news for us, for you, for

374
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:42,320
me.

375
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,480
>> So, that's the next step. And then

376
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,160
probably in a few months, we'll be back

377
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,120
with phase three, which will be 35

378
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,360
single family lots that are replacing

379
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,480
what was first planned to be 47 town

380
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,680
homes because town homes were not like

381
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,160
that hot and the single families are

382
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,079
basically flying off the shelf once they

383
00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:03,360
get hot.

384
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,600
So that's the plan.

385
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,160
>> Great.

386
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:06,799
>> Yeah. Sounds great.

387
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:08,079
>> Thank you for having me here tonight.

388
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:09,679
Excited to be here. I think it's a great

389
00:17:09,679 --> 00:17:11,360
opportunity for all of us.

390
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:12,720
>> Yeah, it is. And we certainly need

391
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,760
housing.

392
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,199
>> There's no doubt about that.

393
00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:15,919
>> No doubt.

394
00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:16,240
>> Yeah.

395
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,360
>> And the price point or coming in with is

396
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:20,240
just amazing,

397
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,760
>> right? Which is great. It's a good fit,

398
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,959
I think, for our community.

399
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:25,280
>> It is. And you know, and to your point

400
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,360
with um

401
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:30,160
our 44641 being so hot in Stark County

402
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,360
right now with the hits that they're

403
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:34,640
getting on the realtor sites, this is

404
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,520
great timing.

405
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,440
>> Yeah, it is. And hopefully we can take

406
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,400
advantage of it. So, I'm hoping that it

407
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,919
keeps going, it stays this phase three

408
00:17:43,919 --> 00:17:47,679
as soon as possible. I'm talking

409
00:17:47,679 --> 00:17:50,880
other land up here.

410
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,720
This has been it's been great dealing

411
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,240
with the city, [snorts]

412
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,679
great dealing with Dave and all the

413
00:17:55,679 --> 00:17:57,919
people that work here.

>> Good to hear it.

418
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,280
>> I I I was thinking back to when we had a

419
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,720
couple different presentations on

420
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,880
basically the jobs follow the housing

421
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,480
>> and we we all want good paying jobs to

422
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,720
continue to come come to our area and

423
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,120
that that requires the housing to be

424
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:18,880
there in the in the single family homes,

425
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,480
those good neighborhoods. That's those

426
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,840
are the kind of additions we want to

427
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,080

>> Well, thank you for having me. I

431
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:29,840

00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,200

433
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:31,919

>> Let's see. will be 35 short of 199. So

443
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,240
it'll take us up to 164.

444
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,160
>> Okay. And then the next phase will get

445
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,240

446
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,320
>> Okay. That's awesome.

00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,960
Would you like to share anything?

465
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,440
>> Hey, you got three minutes.

466
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,679
>> Come on down.

467
00:19:33,679 --> 00:19:35,600
>> That's not I was gonna say that's not 30

468
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,048
minutes. That's three minutes.

469
00:19:37,048 --> 00:19:38,640
[laughter]

470
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,919
>> So, um my name is Joseph Globear. Um my

471
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:44,000
first council meeting was yesterday but

472
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,799
um I was uh introducing a concept of uh

473
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:48,640
painting patriotic fire hydrants

474
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,400
throughout Louisville. Uh there's about

475
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,960
650 to 700. I had some discussions with

476
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,080
some of the individuals here. Um and uh

477
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,320
a couple reasons. One is they did it for

478
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,000
the bsentennial. I wanted to do it to

479
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,600
250th. Um I thought uh national and more

480
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,840
important civic pride constitution town

481
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,360
and um also an update of our of our um

482
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:12,240
fire hydrants. Um, we have a sharp

483
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,000
looking fire chief, a sharp looking fire

484
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,400
station engine, but some of the some of

485
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,400
the um some of the fire um hydrants are

486
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,799
pretty bad. [snorts] Um so, um that's

487
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:27,120
that was the the crux of it. Um, but

488
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,520
then for my last meeting, I did some

489
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,760
homework and one of the things, uh, you

490
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,760
guys were talking about having more

491
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,640
people move in here, businesses move in

492
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,320
here and stuff like that. But [snorts]

493
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,200
it would be fantastic if, um,

494
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,720
individuals saw that little detail of

495
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,799
the fire hydrant, which is sharp, small

496
00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:46,159
detail. They say, "Well, look, these

497
00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:47,919
guys are paying attention to small

498
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:49,360
details and the safety of our

499
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:50,960
community." So, you know, that might

500
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,960
draw more people in, too. I think it was

501
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,320
your question. What little things can we

502
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,679
do to as this gentleman was talking last

503
00:20:57,679 --> 00:20:59,600
meeting in regards to you know what we

504
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,720
can do about you know

505
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,080
bringing people in. Uh the other thing,

506
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,600
this is another wild one, but um is um

507
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,280
and this is some homework, but um

508
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,480
the PPR, are you familiar with that?

509
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,799
Public protection um uh if you have a

510
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:23,440
good rating of a fire hydrant, a fire

511
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,280
station and community, it lowers your um

512
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,320
home insuranceances. So, it's another

513
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,440
perk.

514
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,440
>> Believe that's for us.

515
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,919
>> I'm sorry. church service organization.

516
00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:37,760
>> Yes. Yes. Yes. But it's directly related

517
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,360
to a lot of different things.

518
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:40,640
>> The hydrants is part of that. Yes.

519
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,280
>> Yes.

520
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,880
>> So, um I'll take any questions. Oh, I

521
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,200
should tell you um I was asked to do one

522
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,960
downtown, but I didn't I do it did it in

523
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,799
the field. So, um a a fire hydrant and

524
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:56,630
it's on um

525
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,120
» Thank you. Marriott and Yod. So, if you

526
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,320
want to take a look at it, I didn't do

527
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,400
it downtown. Any questions? I'll be more

528
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,799
than happy to take

529
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:05,840
How many are there?

530
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,080
>> There's somewhere between 650 to 700

531
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,240
depending if you're talking private and

532
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,559
public.

533
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:14,720
>> The ones at the school. Would you leave

534
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,159
them as they are?

535
00:22:16,159 --> 00:22:17,600
>> They look like little smurfs. They're

536
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,559
light blue and white.

537
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:20,240
>> Yeah. Well, I was told today that those

538
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,880
are public private private school.

539
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,679
>> Are they really?

540
00:22:23,679 --> 00:22:23,919
>> Yeah.

541
00:22:23,919 --> 00:22:25,600
>> Okay. [clears throat] We will go out and

542
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,520
test those. But any service that's all

543
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,039
done by the school, those are private

544
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:30,880
hydr private hydrants.

545
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,280
>> Okay.

546
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,039
>> Yeah. I didn't know you could have a

547
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:34,320
private one.

548
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,240
>> Okay.

549
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,840
>> Hey, I appreciate it. I had the chance

550
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,200
to talk to Mr. Globe Carr a couple uh Saturdays ago in in the yard

551
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,679
and it's it's a fantastic project. You

552
00:22:45,679 --> 00:22:49,120
and I know you've probably seen his

553
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:52,240
stuff, what he's done from Rotary. But I

554
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,320
mean the fire hydrants once you

555
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,360
mentioned them, it's kind of like once

556
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:57,200
those things you start seeing. I've been

557
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,640
driving around now. I'm like looking at

558
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,080
the fire hydrants. I'm like, "Oh my

559
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,320
gosh." like I didn't I didn't even see

560
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,400
them a lot of them before and it's

561
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,080
>> it's something a community kind of

562
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,559
ignores and if I looked at all of them

563
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:12,640
I' I've looked at personally seen at

564
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,960
least 400 of them 450 of them

565
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,120
>> and I will tell you about 20% look

566
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:18,480
pretty decent

567
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,760
>> which tells you the other 80% probably

568
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,950
a little

569
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,520
» Yep. So, I I'm I'm fully behind the

570
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,120
prime. I mean, I the one that you

571
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:31,120
painted looks fantastic. I walked down

572
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:33,600
and and saw that. And on top of the

573
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,679
painting, the just the cleaning them and

574
00:23:35,679 --> 00:23:37,280
making making sure that, you know,

575
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,720
they're functional and ready to go and

576
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,600
not have old chipped, you know, paint

577
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,919
would be a benefit as well.

578
00:23:43,919 --> 00:23:45,440
>> Now, I have to tell you, there's a lot

579
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,039
of concerns that have been, you know,

580
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:49,200
you can't have just slopping paint on

581
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,200
there. you got to and there's a lot of

582
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,799
like I said legitimate concerns [cough]

583
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:57,120
from the dredge to the to the the valve

584
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:58,480
cap on the top and stuff like [snorts]

585
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,840
that. So

586
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,039
>> use a lot.

587
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:05,919
>> Yep. So however we can responsibly move

588
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:08,000
forward and addressing those those

589
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,240
concerns especially I I had mentioned to

590
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,120
um Andy like I think it would look great

591
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:19,039
even if we started in 44 and 153 kind of

592
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:20,480
high traffic

593
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,880
>> areas and then we already have the

594
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,559
divisions broken up for how we do the

595
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:26,799
sidewalk program. Would it make sense to

596
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:30,400
attack it by section that way?

597
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,039
>> Um but I yeah I was excited.

598
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:34,720
>> So that was actually on my list under

599
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,039
new business. Um I presume then that

600
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:39,520
council is okay with granting the

601
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,240
permission to start the project and we

602
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,000
have just probably a few more details to

603
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,840
work out but we'll we'll get it we'll

604
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,760
get it going or Mr. Wilbachar will get

605
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:48,832
it going.

606
00:24:48,832 --> 00:24:49,840
>> [laughter]

607
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,840
>> I have anticipated talking just so you

608
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,520
know.

609
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,159
>> I mean I have no problem talking

610
00:24:56,159 --> 00:24:57,760
excited about the the project.

611
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:58,799
>> The one that you did there in our

612
00:24:58,799 --> 00:24:59,967
neighborhood is that it's probably over

613
00:24:59,967 --> 00:25:01,679
[cough] by the water tower. Is it close?

614
00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:04,159
Okay. Is is that what we can expect or

615
00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:07,039
is there a few different um designs?

616
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:09,760
>> Well, so this is in the details, you

617
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,240
know. Um, initially I thought, oh,

618
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,000
everybody, you know, we get a good

619
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,919
community project going so on and so

620
00:25:15,919 --> 00:25:17,520
forth, you know, and you you put your

621
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,200
stars on it, you know, and stuff like

622
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,120
that and decorated patriotic, but one

623
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:24,720
700, you know, and all those fine

624
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,360
details could be a little tricky. Okay.

625
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:29,840
Two, um,

626
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,279
there's, like I said, there's painting

627
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:33,840
restrictions, so not anybody can just

628
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,480
slap stuff on. And the paint's

629
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,320
important, but the preparation's equally

630
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,480
as important. Um, so to answer your

631
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,559
question, perhaps coming in and coming

632
00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:49,840
into Lewisville and the main arteries

633
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,400
would be um where you'd want to put a

634
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,559
lot of, you know, good energy.

635
00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:55,919
>> And I've thought about this through

636
00:25:55,919 --> 00:25:57,760
there's five different uh

637
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,240
>> districts, [clears throat] okay? And you

638
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,799
do the districts, right? And I don't

639
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:04,640
know if it's community thing, you know,

640
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,360
depending on how we go, okay? But you

641
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:09,679
take the the top five in each district,

642
00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:11,360
top 10, and let them do the main

643
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:12,960
arteries, you know, and make them look

644
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,039
good, you know, and and it's

645
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:17,039
Constitution Town, and this is something

646
00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,760
that'll last

647
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,279
on average at this particular point.

648
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:25,039
Again, if you just throw paint on it,

649
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:26,640
you know, it'll be ready the next year.

650
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,320
It'll be chip and but it could be good

651
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,320
fy year, you know.

652
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,669
>> Sure.

653
00:26:33,679 --> 00:26:36,080
» Any other questions? Rod, is this

654
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,159
something you guys would have to do?

655
00:26:38,159 --> 00:26:39,120
>> What? Paint?

656
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:42,080
>> Yeah. If if he if he if he didn't do it

657
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:42,880
for that

658
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,720
>> that's a service. So you guys would be

659
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,720
you guys would have to do this if it was

660
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,200
if Joe wasn't taking this project on.

661
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,400
>> Well,

662
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,679
>> that's I was going to say I remember

663
00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:54,080
growing up I mean I'm the one here, but

664
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,240
growing up the the service department

665
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,000
did come around and we would, you know,

666
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,833
gather around and watch them paint. It

667
00:26:59,833 --> 00:27:02,159
[laughter] was something cool back then.

668
00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:03,600
>> You'd watch paint dry.

669
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,120
>> Yes. side

670
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:05,919
>> for fun.

671
00:27:05,919 --> 00:27:07,200
>> That was because we didn't have cell

672
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,799
phones or anything. We ride our bikes

673
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:11,360
and go over there painting the

674
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:13,600
>> We thought that was really neat.

675
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,320
>> The other part of this is and I like I

676
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,200
said, there's some beautiful

677
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,039
neighborhoods. It'll kind of give

678
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:21,279
community pride too, you know,

679
00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:22,960
>> and and some of these are blending into

680
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,360
the background and you don't want that,

681
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:27,919
>> okay? You want them to stand out,

682
00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:30,640
>> okay? Um for many reasons, but that's

683
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,640
important. As as of right now, I've not

684
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,960
heard anything that's committing city

685
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,480
workers to doing the painting.

686
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,919
>> Well, I just wondered if he wasn't doing

687
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:40,400
it, would that be your responsibility?

688
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,480
And how often do you guys have to do

689
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:42,960
that?

690
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,470
>> Hasn't been done.

691
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:46,799
» Okay.

692
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:48,559
>> Perfectly fine. Fire department wants to

693
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:51,440
jump on it and do it, too. [laughter]

694
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,880
>> I didn't want to commit anybody to

695
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,919
anything. That wasn't

696
00:27:53,919 --> 00:27:54,799
>> We can't hold a paper.

697
00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:55,679
>> Can't hold.

698
00:27:55,679 --> 00:27:57,279
>> One one of the things Mr. Wilar

699
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:59,200
mentioned that I think he had 50

700
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,960
volunteers at the point when we had

701
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,559
talked that had signed up that were

702
00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:03,919
willing

703
00:28:03,919 --> 00:28:05,120
>> um to help.

704
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:05,840
>> No,

705
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,840
>> that's not true. I'm sorry.

706
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,360
>> It was an idea. Talking to my friends, I

707
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:12,880
said, "Do you think it would be a good

708
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,279
idea?" I said, "I'm not asking you to

709
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:16,720
paint. I'm not asking you for a

710
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,159
donation."

711
00:28:18,159 --> 00:28:19,120
>> So I So

712
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:21,039
>> he's standing behind what he

713
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:23,440
>> So I thought you said, "No, no, no.

714
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,720
We're not willing to help."

715
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,360
>> No, no. I would put my [laughter]

716
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:31,440
>> Okay, so we we'll cross that bridge.

717
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:31,840
>> Yeah.

718
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,840
>> Okay, sounds good.

719
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,440
>> Definitely wouldn't neglect the

720
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,720
maintenance of the parks and the roads

721
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,880
to paint fire.

722
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,159
>> See what we can do.

723
00:28:40,159 --> 00:28:45,840
>> Okay. All right. Um let's move on to

724
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,159
um new business. Um, and looks like we

725
00:28:50,159 --> 00:28:51,760
have here a recommendation for the

726
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,159
construction manager at risk for the

727
00:28:54,159 --> 00:28:56,559
city hall construction project from the

728
00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:00,320
CMR evaluation committee.

729
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,320
>> Yes. So, I guess for the benefit of the

730
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,679
council members [clears throat] work

731
00:29:03,679 --> 00:29:05,120
here when we went through this process

732
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,520
for the fire station, uh, there's two

733
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,840
primary ways you can do a project like

734
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,159
this. One is to have it designed,

735
00:29:12,159 --> 00:29:14,000
engineered, and then you go out to bid

736
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,360
where interested people will submit a

737
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,919
bid. You pick the lowest and best bid.

738
00:29:19,919 --> 00:29:22,320
Another way, which is more recently

739
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,399
allowable in the state of Ohio, is the

740
00:29:24,399 --> 00:29:26,320
construction manager at risk process

741
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,840
where you bring a company on board early

742
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,720
on to work with the architects and the

743
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,000
engineers primarily in the interest of

744
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,320
uh reducing cost. they're more familiar

745
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,720
with the market availability of supplies

746
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,840
and materials and can incorporate those

747
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,159
uh variables into the into the design

748
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:48,000
and the engineering of the building. Uh

749
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,080
we did the Seymour process with this

750
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,640
building. It worked out really well. Uh

751
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,559
so we decided to do it again with the

752
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:58,080
city hall building. Uh it's all spelled

753
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,640
out in many many many places in the high

754
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,320
revised code. There's all different

755
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,320
types of rules and procedures and

756
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,360
processes that you have to follow. But

757
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,840
the short of it is we uh had to develop

758
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,080
an evaluation committee which we did.

759
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,880
All of the firms that responded to the

760
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,399
request for qualifications were

761
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:19,360
evaluated. We shortlisted three of them

762
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,840
meaning we picked the top three. Those

763
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,000
three firms then were issued what's

764
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,159
called a request for proposal where they

765
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:28,480
provide both pricing and technical

766
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,080
information

767
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,279
and then we evaluate those responses and

768
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:35,919
we have to subscribe points to different

769
00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:38,240
uh categories that they're required to

770
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,240
cover. We went through that entire

771
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,360
process. Uh the top three firms that

772
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,279
were shortlisted were Hley Construction

773
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:47,200
who built this building beaver

774
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,000
constructors and capital building. And

775
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,640
after going through the entire process,

776
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,600
Beaver Constructors is who came out from

777
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,600
a point perspective on top and

778
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,520
determined to be the best value for the

779
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,600
city for the city hall project. Um after

780
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,799
you identify that uh best value firm,

781
00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:12,080
there are a few things you have to

782
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,760
uh check on in essence before

783
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,760
uh the legislative body which of course

784
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,919
is you can accept the recommendation of

785
00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:21,440
the committee. So I'm just going to run

786
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,840
down that list real quick here. Uh and

787
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,159
this is specific to the Beaver

788
00:31:26,159 --> 00:31:27,919
Constructor Company. They have no

789
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:30,159
unresolved findings for recovery issued

790
00:31:30,159 --> 00:31:32,080
by the state auditor. They are not

791
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,919
debarred under OC 15302. They have not

792
00:31:35,919 --> 00:31:37,600
been found by a court to be in default

793
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,360
of a judgment or breach of a settlement

794
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,840
agreement. They have not violated

795
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,080
revised code 3517102

796
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,320
by exceeding campaign contribution

797
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,919
limits.

798
00:31:47,919 --> 00:31:50,799
There have been no clerical errors found

799
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:53,360
in the process that would change who the

800
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,480
recommendation is. uh there are no

801
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,399
conflicts of interest known between the

802
00:31:58,399 --> 00:32:00,640
voting members of the committee and any

803
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,440
of the top three firms and uh they are

804
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,679
enrolled in and are in good standing

805
00:32:07,679 --> 00:32:11,360
with a drug-free workplace program. So

806
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,760
having said all that our recommendation

807
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,279
to council for who will serve as a

808
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:18,799
construction manager at risk for the

809
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:20,480
city hall project would be be

810
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,039
constructors. Assuming that you accept

811
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:25,120
that recommendation,

812
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,840
we would then work to come to an

813
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,919
agreement on a contract with them, which

814
00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:32,480
you would see the first reading of at

815
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,559
the first meeting in September. If for

816
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:36,399
some reason, and I think it would be

817
00:32:36,399 --> 00:32:38,880
very unlikely, that we are not able to

818
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,039
come to an agreement with the contract

819
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:42,799
or on a contract with them, we would

820
00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:46,080
then close negotiations and move to the

821
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,399
next on the list.

822
00:32:48,399 --> 00:32:51,919
So, that's where we're at.

823
00:32:51,919 --> 00:32:53,600
Guy, I know you were part of this

824
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,440
process.

825
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,640
>> Yeah. Um,

826
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,200
>> what would you like to share?

827
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,120
>> I thought Andy did a phenomenal job of

828
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,880
putting this together. It was a ton of

829
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,679
work for him. Um, we had a really good

830
00:33:05,679 --> 00:33:10,080
day um interviewing all three of these

831
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,559
construction companies. We had Daryl on

832
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:14,799
site and Corey Smith who did a great job

833
00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:18,080
of asking questions to all three of them

834
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,880
from a construction perspective, from a

835
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,799
preconstruct uh construction

836
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:24,559
perspective. They did a phenomenal job

837
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:27,279
with that. We had the architects here

838
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:30,559
who also were non- voting members, but

839
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:32,320
they

840
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,720
really assisted us with a lot of the

841
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,200
questions. And Andy had it set up pretty

842
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,720
good, too, where we had some time in

843
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,039
between each one of these where we could

844
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:44,240
discuss not only the prior construction

845
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,120
company, but the one to come. So, after

846
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,840
we went through a lot of the uh a lot of

847
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,080
their proposal,

848
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,919
we could kind of, I guess, prompt our

849
00:33:55,919 --> 00:33:58,159
architects on what questions that we

850
00:33:58,159 --> 00:34:00,399
wanted them to ask from an architect

851
00:34:00,399 --> 00:34:02,799
perspective and how to frame those

852
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:04,320
questions. And so we had enough time to

853
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,720
do all of that. It just really went

854
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,760
smooth. Um Andy kept us on task the

855
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,599
whole way through and it it was a great

856
00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:16,320
process. I know it's a lot of work, but

857
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,760
I I think it's it's it's a lot better

858
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,079
for government and it's a lot better for

859
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:24,800
our city to go through what we went

860
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,320
through and a long day and a long

861
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,800
process to get through all of this. But

862
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,480
I've been involved with stuff like this

863
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,240
before where you have to take the lowest

864
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:38,000
bid. And I I think, you know, the city,

865
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,240
the residents, the taxpayers, the city

866
00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:43,040
as a whole is better off for what we had

867
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,200
to go through and what we're going

868
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,879
through um using this process. So, I

869
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:51,359
appreciate what you guys did

870
00:34:51,359 --> 00:34:54,320
uh to get us to this point. As I said, I

871
00:34:54,320 --> 00:35:00,079
think everybody would agree that this method of uh acquiring these

872
00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:01,920
projects

873
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,520
worked really well with the fire

874
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,160
department. And I and I agree the the

875
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,880
concept of going out to bid with the

876
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,720
engineering documents, you know, the bid

877
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:15,280
documents for a project of of this size

878
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,599
or the size of city hall. Um

879
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:21,520
I think it leaves a lot to be desired.

880
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,800
I'm much more comfortable with this

881
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,320
process when it comes time to build.

882
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,079
the

883
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:27,760
builders, the architects, the engineers

884
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,359
are all on the same page because they

885
00:35:29,359 --> 00:35:32,400
came up with it together and there's

886
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,320
really, I think, a lot less room for

887
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,280
error.

888
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,800
>> Dave, I'm sorry. I think I left you out

889
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,560
of that, but I appreciate what you did,

890
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,280
too.

891
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,599
>> Thanks. [laughter]

892
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:45,040
>> Now, Beaver Beaver's local, correct?

893
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,640
>> Beaver, their headquarters, I believe,

894
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,510
are in Perry Township.

895
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,520
They're they're from the area. Yes.

896
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,960
>> About 30.

897
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,400
>> Yeah.

898
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,040
>> So there's there's Beaver Escavating

899
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,839
which has been around for I think 75

900
00:36:01,839 --> 00:36:04,560
plus years and then Beaver Constructors

901
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,560
which is a separate company owned by the

902
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,640
same people that have been around I

903
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,800
think over 15 years. And they they did

904
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,480
they have the contract for the at

905
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,720
Massland for the some of the additions

906
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:18,000
they done over at the school?

907
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:18,480
>> Yes.

908
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,079
>> Like for the football? Uh

909
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:21,119
>> yeah, they were working on it.

910
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:23,040
>> Football facility. It's covering every

911
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,400
inch of grass over there.

912
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,920
>> Yeah, they're they've got that they're

913
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,320
the Key Bank Center at the Hall of Fame.

914
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,680
>> The library too, I think.

915
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,520
>> Library and fire station

916
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:35,920
>> and

917
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,359
>> those projects will be complete.

918
00:36:37,359 --> 00:36:38,880
completions of those projects

919
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,480
corresponds with what we would be

920
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,280
starting

921
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,760
>> and and obviously we would pick the

922
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,079
best, you know, value for our taxpayer

923
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:48,000
money, but it's a I think it's an added

924
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,200
bonus when they have local employees.

925
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,800
You know, it helps the local economy,

926
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,400
you know, Stark County at large.

927
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,240
>> Absolutely.

928
00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:57,680
>> And I think they felt very strongly

929
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,520
about this project being a local

930
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,839
project. They specified that they really

931
00:37:01,839 --> 00:37:04,960
wanted this project and I I I anticipate

932
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,240
they'll do a good job. they were

933
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:08,800
extremely competitive on the on the

934
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,480
pricing portion. And when we when we

935
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:11,920
talk about the pricing versus the

936
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,520
technical, the pricing isn't

937
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,400
what we would all know as the the

938
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,200
guarantee maximum price. Uh it's the the

939
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,359
fees that are associated with their work

940
00:37:23,359 --> 00:37:24,800
on the project. We don't have a cost for

941
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,800
the building yet. It's it's what their

942
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,000
fees are for the work based on uh what

943
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,400
is available at the time.

944
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,000
And they again they were very very

945
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,400
competitive. And I think I think we're

946
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:42,800
really fortunate too to have two really quality companies that came in to

947
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,720
interview um to choose from.

948
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:49,440
>> So, you know, I mean, we are in a big

949
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,119
county and you know, you would you would

950
00:37:51,119 --> 00:37:53,359
expect that, but we're just fortunate to

951
00:37:53,359 --> 00:37:56,720
have quality companies like that that

952
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:59,760
can do this size of a project without a

953
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,040
problem.

954
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,640
>> Great.

955
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,320
Any

956
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,720
further questions?

957
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,800
I'm okay to vote on this, right?

958
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,160
>> Yes, we defer.

959
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,990
>> Okay.

960
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,359
Do you need a motion?

961
00:38:15,359 --> 00:38:16,640
>> We would just Yeah, just a motion

962
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,079
accepting the recommendation of the

963
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:19,119
evaluation committee.

964
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:21,040
>> I'll make the motion to accept the uh

965
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,800
recommendation.

966
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,800
>> Second.

967
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,720
>> Okay, let's go ahead and vote.

968
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:27,359
>> Gdone,

969
00:38:27,359 --> 00:38:28,160
>> yes.

970
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:28,880
>> Johnston,

971
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:29,520
>> yes.

972
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,720
>> Mallister Atkins,

973
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:32,000
>> yes. Street.

974
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:32,480
>> Yes.

975
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,359
>> Alanthic.

976
00:38:33,359 --> 00:38:35,200
>> Yes.

977
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,829
>> Okay. Very good.

978
00:38:39,839 --> 00:38:43,040
» I believe we will need a motion also uh

979
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,520
for council to appoint Tiffany as your

980
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,320
design uh to complete the required

981
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,839
attorney general's sunshine volatility.

982
00:38:51,839 --> 00:38:55,200
>> Okay. And I appreciate that. Um I know

983
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,640
>> you know Tiffany we're trying to clean

984
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,160
things up and do more things just by

985
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,680
motion. Make sure they're they're part

986
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,000
of the record. I just want to make sure

987
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
I I know some of the trainings at least

988
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,359
when we've looked at in the past it's

989
00:39:05,359 --> 00:39:08,079
always during the day when a lot of us

990
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:10,480
are at work and I don't want to assume

991
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,160
does anybody want to complete the

992
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,160
training or are we okay with Tiffany

993
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,920
completing it as our designate and then

994
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,480
informing us keeping us keep us on the

995
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,240
right side of the of the law.

996
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:24,560
>> We do already have two that did complete

997
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,839
it. Um Guy and Trisha both completed it

998
00:39:27,839 --> 00:39:30,960
um on their own. [laughter] So,

999
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,280
you get the goal. So, I know it's

1000
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,800
difficult. It is a three-hour training,

1001
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,560
and you're more than welcome to do it,

1002
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,720
too, Joanie, if you wanted to watch in

1003
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:41,440
with it, or I could be the designate,

1004
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,119
and you can do both.

1005
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:46,880
>> It's all yours. [laughter]

1006
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,160
>> Yeah. I'll make the motion to accept

1007
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,240
Tiffany as the uh [laughter]

1008
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:53,520
designate for the Sunshine Law Training.

1009
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:54,560
>> Second.

1010
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,672
>> Okay. No further.

1011
00:39:56,672 --> 00:39:57,359
[laughter]

1012
00:39:57,359 --> 00:39:59,760
>> Let's go ahead and vote. Gdone,

1013
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:00,320
>> yes.

1014
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,040
>> Johnston,

1015
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:01,520
>> yes.

1016
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,640
>> Mallister Atkins,

1017
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:03,119
>> yes.

1018
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:03,599
>> Street,

1019
00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:03,920
>> yes.

1020
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:04,640
>> Aliance,

1021
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:05,280
>> yes.

1022
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,599
>> Now, was that motion just for me?

1023
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:09,520
>> It's it's for whoever doesn't.

1024
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,200
>> All right. It's for everyone. All right.

1025
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,359
>> In and in in the past, it's been in the

1026
00:40:13,359 --> 00:40:14,480
past it's been everyone,

1027
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,400
>> correct? For our contin practice.

1028
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,640
>> I can tell you it has gotten a little

1029
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,217
more lengthy compared to what it was.

1030
00:40:22,217 --> 00:40:23,599
[laughter]

1031
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:25,493
>> It's interesting though.

1032
00:40:25,493 --> 00:40:27,589
>> [cough]

1033
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:30,240
» So you're so you're saying encourage

1034
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:32,000
>> encouraging people to do it, right?

1035
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,599
>> Yeah. One of those flights to Europe

1036
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:37,040
that you right

1037
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,079
>> get the internet do it.

1038
00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:39,359
>> Yeah. Yeah. Very good.

1039
00:40:39,359 --> 00:40:42,160
>> Requiring everybody to

1040
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,320
>> um Okay. Hey,

1041
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,320
>> let's let's go ahead for um department

1042
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,359
I'm sorry I skipped over department head

1043
00:40:51,359 --> 00:40:54,160
uh reports. So,

1044
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,920
>> one more thing if I could be there. Um,

1045
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,839
I sent you the information on that train

1046
00:40:57,839 --> 00:40:59,920
f company with

1047
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:01,440
>> uh, you know, I've met with them a

1048
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,440
couple of times. They do seem to have a

1049
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,680
great product, especially for

1050
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,760
communities like ours. Uh,

1051
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,680
unfortunately, it is it is very

1052
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,800
expensive. So, what I left with them was

1053
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,480
that it likely wouldn't be something

1054
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,000
that would get funded unless it was

1055
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,319
considerable grant funding. U, but I

1056
00:41:18,319 --> 00:41:20,160
think that will maybe help us seek that

1057
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,400
out. But essentially for anybody get a

1058
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,960
chance to take a look at it. It would be

1059
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,160
a notification sent uh system for

1060
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,000
residents and for first responders when

1061
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,160
a when a train is stopped on the track

1062
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:32,880
as

1063
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,560
>> it was a little while ago for an

1064
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,800
extended period of time uh so that

1065
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,960
people could pre plan to avoid the area

1066
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,640
but again it's it's it's not

1067
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,560
inexpensive.

1068
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,000
I know we have some really good grant

1069
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,750
writers.

1070
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,839
» Are the train stoppages happening more

1071
00:41:51,839 --> 00:41:53,920
than usual this year?

1072
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,319
>> No, I think beyond the one that lasted for so long

1073
00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:00,319
which was caused by a derailment. I I

1074
00:42:00,319 --> 00:42:02,240
don't know that there are any any more

1075
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:02,960
frequent.

1076
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,480
>> I think there was just another one that

1077
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:05,520
same week.

1078
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,079
>> Yes.

1079
00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:08,640
>> It just happened to be on the same

1080
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,960
>> one that was considerably more

1081
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,400
>> Yeah.

1082
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,839
We as city officials have a lot of the

1083
00:42:17,839 --> 00:42:20,400
same questions that the community had as

1084
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,760
far as why they, you know, why they

1085
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,119
couldn't have backed it up, why, you

1086
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:25,119
know, why it was necessary to stop,

1087
00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:26,480
>> why they don't give us a warning.

1088
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,760
why

1089
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,560
the information about what's going on so

1090
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,760
slowly. As I have said before, we are at

1091
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,640
the whim of the railroad.

1092
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,480
Have we experienced any problems with

1093
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,440
like um our emergency services

1094
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,599
getting stuck or not being able to make

1095
00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:44,480
it somewhere?

1096
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,880
>> So, fortunately from the police

1097
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,800
standpoint, it's it's relatively easy

1098
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,359
for the police vehicles to to get around

1099
00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:53,040
that and I know that fire chief of

1100
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,359
course coordinates with the township on

1101
00:42:55,359 --> 00:42:58,480
necessary responses. So, it doesn't uh

1102
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,400
not that it creates an ideal situation,

1103
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,560
but it doesn't uh create the kind of

1104
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,160
issues that I think most people would be

1105
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,839
concerned about with respect to public

1106
00:43:05,839 --> 00:43:08,480
safety.

1107
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,119
>> This company, did they reach out to you

1108
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:12,640
>> or did you Were you looking for

1109
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,119
something?

1110
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:15,040
>> They reached out to us.

1111
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,520
>> Okay. This it's been a couple of months

1112
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,599
ago that they did that. We've I've had a

1113
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:21,280
couple of online meetings with them.

1114
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,520
Several of those meetings with them.

1115
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,520
>> Um because then, you know, they had to

1116
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,520
obviously get some information from us,

1117
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,160
take a look at the tracks, get some data

1118
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,240
to come up with a cost to for our

1119
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:33,599
particular circumstance.

1120
00:43:33,599 --> 00:43:36,160
>> Okay. And I replied to your email, but

1121
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,760
not until like five o'clock today, so

1122
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:43,119
you wouldn't have seen it. Uh, a question I had though was, is

1123
00:43:43,119 --> 00:43:45,599
there something else out there for first

1124
00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:47,119
responders

1125
00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:49,440
instead of a big system, a big elaborate

1126
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,040
system like that? Is there something

1127
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:56,240
that they already have? Do the does the railroad company not like allow

1128
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:58,400
people to see their schedules and things

1129
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,000
of that nature? Do they not send out

1130
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,599
alerts? Is there a way we can do this

1131
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:02,240
without

1132
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:04,160
>> I I don't know that the schedule would

1133
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,119
be the issue. It would be the

1134
00:44:05,119 --> 00:44:07,839
unanticipated stops. Okay. That that

1135
00:44:07,839 --> 00:44:10,480
>> kind of create the problem. Um

1136
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:15,680
>> and again it's very difficult to

1137
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:16,880
>> deal with the railroad

1138
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,000
>> with railroad.

1139
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:18,880
>> What's that?

1140
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,359
>> Lewisville is not unique with railroads.

1141
00:44:21,359 --> 00:44:22,240
They are just

1142
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:25,119
>> if you do some researching online, you

1143
00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:27,280
will find a lot of communities that have

1144
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,680
the same issues. I didn't know if there

1145
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,000
was maybe a smaller system or an easier

1146
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,480
just something for Yes, I know it's a

1147
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,240
pain for citizens that, you know, you're

1148
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:37,520
coming into town and you have to sit for

1149
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,240
an hour. I I get that. Um, however, the

1150
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,720
important would be that a firetruck can

1151
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:45,680
get around. Um, which sounds like Rod's

1152
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,200
already got something in place with

1153
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,200
Nichell. I'm sure the police have

1154
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,880
somebody always on both sides of the

1155
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,880
tracks at all times. I mean, this isn't

1156
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,560
these these railroad tracks are not new

1157
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:55,440
to our town. So,

1158
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,321
>> correct. And we've also of course

1159
00:44:57,321 --> 00:44:58,400
[clears throat] had a lot of experience

1160
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,000
with the flooding which also kind of

1161
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,079
cuts the the city in half when it

1162
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:03,520
happens. So

1163
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,680
>> I know police and fire are good at

1164
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,599
adapting to what those circumstances

1165
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:10,630
happen.

1166
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,280
» Where where do we stand with the with

1167
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,630
the crossings?

1168
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,119
» Well, the good news is the stuff that we

1169
00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:20,960
can control.

1170
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,599
Uh you see the second set of tracks that

1171
00:45:23,599 --> 00:45:27,359
was on constitution that was um so poor

1172
00:45:27,359 --> 00:45:28,720
they've been removed and that's been

1173
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:32,560
aspholded. We are still waiting for word

1174
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,960
from Norolk Southern on the potential

1175
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:41,200
cost of installing the rubber

1176
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:48,079
surfaces over the crossings and uh the privately owned ones. They are also

1177
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:49,920
waiting to get information about the

1178
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,359
company that can because they would also

1179
00:45:51,359 --> 00:45:54,079
like to install the rubber surfaces to

1180
00:45:54,079 --> 00:45:57,359
make the consistent smooth. But again,

1181
00:45:57,359 --> 00:46:01,119
we're relying on the railroad.

1182
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:02,800
Well, we'll just we'll take a followup

1183
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,119
next meeting where where where that's

1184
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:05,680
at.

1185
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,240
>> Okay.

1186
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:09,839
Anything else?

1187
00:46:09,839 --> 00:46:11,040
>> That's all I have.

1188
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,400
>> All right, Chief.

1189
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,000
>> Uh, thank you, Mayor. fire department

1190
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,160
has nothing new to report today unless

1191
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,560
someone has some questions for me.

1192
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,920
>> I did see him out um do a few flushing

1193
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,359
of the hydrants on [snorts]

1194
00:46:23,359 --> 00:46:24,720
>> Actually, we're we're testing the flow

1195
00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:25,440
rates on them.

1196
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:26,319
>> Oh, is that what that was?

1197
00:46:26,319 --> 00:46:28,319
>> Yeah, we do a a district every year. So,

1198
00:46:28,319 --> 00:46:30,079
they're they're in district three right

1199
00:46:30,079 --> 00:46:30,640
now, which is

1200
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,720
>> just before it started raining buckets.

1201
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:34,160
They had to get soaked.

1202
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,560
>> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter]

1203
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,160
>> Yep. That'll be going on till they get

1204
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,040
district done. Yeah.

1205
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,920
>> Okay.

1206
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,680
>> All right. Very good, Dave.

1207
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,119
>> Mayor, council, I have nothing. this

1208
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:45,359
time. Okay,

1209
00:46:45,359 --> 00:46:46,319
>> Darl.

1210
00:46:46,319 --> 00:46:48,800
>> Uh, actually, I do have a few things I

1211
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,920
was excited to tell you all about. The

1212
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,319
air conditioning that the Constitution

1213
00:46:54,319 --> 00:46:56,960
Center is wrapping up. They're finishing

1214
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:57,440
up.

1215
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,079
>> Great.

1216
00:46:58,079 --> 00:47:00,720
>> So, they'll have cold air just in time

1217
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:02,319
for it to turn fall and get cold

1218
00:47:02,319 --> 00:47:04,560
outside. [laughter]

1219
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,319
>> I know that the community cupboard will

1220
00:47:06,319 --> 00:47:08,960
be happy to hear that. So, they're

1221
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,359
dynamic HVAC is doing that job. They're

1222
00:47:11,359 --> 00:47:13,119
doing an actual They're doing a really

1223
00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:15,680
good job installing that.

1224
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,680
>> Um the other thing I wanted to point

1225
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,839
out, this was at the end of July, but we

1226
00:47:19,839 --> 00:47:22,480
didn't have a meeting um since then, but

1227
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,560
New Point Church came into town. I think

1228
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,400
you and I talked about this a little

1229
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,720
bit. They um we kind of did a joint um

1230
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:32,880
project with them. They wanted to bring

1231
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,119
in people and do some work in the parks.

1232
00:47:35,119 --> 00:47:37,440
So we went ahead normally every other

1233
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,680
year we get playground mulch for some of

1234
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,920
the playgrounds and we got playground

1235
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,800
mulch for Eljansik and Wilson and they

1236
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,720
brought in a group of like 20ome people

1237
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:48,960
and they spread the mulch out and did a

1238
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,319
really beautiful job. So if you get a

1239
00:47:50,319 --> 00:47:51,599
chance I I was going to bring pictures

1240
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:52,800
but if you get a chance to go by

1241
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,640
Eljansik and Wilson it looks I was

1242
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,400
vibing there again today. It looks looks

1243
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,319
really really nice. So

1244
00:47:58,319 --> 00:48:00,400
>> awesome. Um, thankful.

1245
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,520
>> Your splash pad is like I've never saw

1246
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,359
somebody put a splash pad on.

1247
00:48:05,359 --> 00:48:08,160
>> It is a Yeah, it is a I was excited.

1248
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,680
I've been driving around the parks and

1249
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,760
we're um the baseball fields are being

1250
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,359
used maybe not so much in Meer Park, but

1251
00:48:15,359 --> 00:48:17,599
um Wildwood's being used quite a bit.

1252
00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:20,160
Splash pad is just every day people are

1253
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,599
knocking on the door to get in there.

1254
00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:24,160
So, it's it's cool to see like to see

1255
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,599
this stuff get used.

1256
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:26,160
>> Absolutely.

1257
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,720
>> For sure. Um,

1258
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:30,480
and then the last thing I'll bring up,

1259
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,800
and this is kind of a knock on wood sort

1260
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,760
of a thing, uh, the the Cle Creek creek

1261
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,319
clearing project that we've been doing,

1262
00:48:38,319 --> 00:48:40,480
uh, we we keep track of the rainfall

1263
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,960
amounts at the sewer plant um, at the

1264
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,800
end of Chapel down here. So, we um,

1265
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,559
Sunday there was about an inch and a

1266
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:51,839
half of rain, and to my knowledge, we

1267
00:48:51,839 --> 00:48:54,000
didn't see any issues around town as as

1268
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,920
far as flooding. And that's happened a

1269
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,119
couple of times this year, but I'm

1270
00:48:57,119 --> 00:48:58,559
pointing out this past Sunday, I

1271
00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:00,480
actually had one of our employees says

1272
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:01,680
he has a rain gauge at his

1273
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,280
father-in-law's house, and he said he

1274
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,720
got over two inches of rain in his

1275
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:06,319
father-in-law's house. That's an

1276
00:49:06,319 --> 00:49:09,200
enormous amount of rain. And I would

1277
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,800
like to say, knock on wood, hopefully

1278
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,559
that's due to some of the creek clearing

1279
00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:14,480
that we've been able to accomplish and

1280
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,359
some of that project, but again, we're

1281
00:49:17,359 --> 00:49:20,880
excited that so far it seems like that's going well with the flooding

1282
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,990
around town.

1283
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,480
Darl, weren't you? We are applying for

1284
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,880
some additional funding. Can that too?

1285
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,559
>> Yeah, Miss Kingham Watershed has a

1286
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:32,640
couple of different grant options for us

1287
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,280
that we are applying for. Um, we're kind

1288
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:36,640
of in the process right now. The first

1289
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,599
one is a one-time grant of 20,000 that

1290
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:41,599
you can apply for and get funding, but

1291
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:44,960
it's a it's a one-time deal. Um they but

1292
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,640
what they advised us was to go ahead and

1293
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,119
apply for that grant because if they

1294
00:49:49,119 --> 00:49:51,200
deem your project to be an ongoing

1295
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,440
project that can go year after year, they have a continuing

1296
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,920
funding uh source for that that we might

1297
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,559
be able to get to. So,

1298
00:50:00,559 --> 00:50:03,920
I will say that that the creek clearing,

1299
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,240
it's kind of one of them things where

1300
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:08,079
those guys take material out of that

1301
00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:10,400
creek, okay? And the water level goes

1302
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,319
down and then they move down the stream

1303
00:50:12,319 --> 00:50:14,559
and they keep going. Well, what happens

1304
00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:16,640
is the water level goes down and it just

1305
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,319
exposes more stuff in the bottom of the

1306
00:50:18,319 --> 00:50:20,240
creek. So, then they got to go come back

1307
00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:22,000
and almost start over, take more out.

1308
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,319
And there's just that much stuff in that

1309
00:50:24,319 --> 00:50:27,040
creek down there. I would love to take

1310
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:28,960
pictures and show you guys, but every

1311
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,280
time I go to do that, it's just exposed

1312
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,960
more logs and stuff laying in the bottom

1313
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,400
of it. And I'd show you those and you'd

1314
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,280
be like, "Well, they didn't do

1315
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:36,960
anything." So, [laughter]

1316
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,680
um, but yeah, Dave's right. There is a

1317
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,440
couple of grant opportunities for us

1318
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,200
that we were looking into to keep that

1319
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:44,000
going.

1320
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,839
>> We are in the process. Commissioner

1321
00:50:45,839 --> 00:50:48,800
Harold, me and Andy were at an event and

1322
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,440
he is we set up a meeting here a couple

1323
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,680
weeks with Muskang about possibly

1324
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,000
getting additional funding for projects

1325
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,960
here in those

1326
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,760
>> chief you see like where I live where

1327
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,839
it's been flooded like worst it's

1328
00:51:03,839 --> 00:51:06,079
flooded since I've lived there worst

1329
00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:09,040
I've had ducks and geese because it's my

1330
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,960
whole backyard is like nothing but a

1331
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,280
pond

1332
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,520
and he was there so you saw But I mean

1333
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,200
it it was never like that. It was always

1334
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,280
messers got that got flooded that into

1335
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:19,920
town.

1336
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,000
>> That was Yeah, that was such an enormous

1337
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,160
amount of water. And that wasn't it

1338
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,400
wasn't due to the creeks overflowing. It

1339
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,200
was because [snorts]

1340
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,000
>> the amount of water

1341
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,280
>> the volume of water the

1342
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,440
storm sewer system just couldn't absorb

1343
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,760
it as quickly as it was accumulating.

1344
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,359
>> I mean that wasn't the only time. It

1345
00:51:37,359 --> 00:51:40,000
just happened the other day. Was it two

1346
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,440
days ago or whatever? I couldn't mow

1347
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,800
yesterday. I could mow the front and the

1348
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,400
side, but I couldn't mow my backyard

1349
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,480
because the wheels were soaked on my

1350
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:47,599
lawnmower.

1351
00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:48,480
>> That's definitely

1352
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,720
>> my backyard is just

1353
00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:53,040
>> And my neighbor too, he said he's never

1354
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,440
had that much water in his backyard

1355
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,680
either. And then when I had somebody

1356
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,680
that's coming to look at my house to add

1357
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,640
some um soil, he looked in the creek at

1358
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,160
the creek or whatever and he said

1359
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:09,280
there's a big island of silt or you know

1360
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,280
sand and stuff or dirt that's all there

1361
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,240
and he he quoted me a price for him to

1362
00:52:14,240 --> 00:52:16,640
take it out, but it's not my yard. It's

1363
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,280
not I said, "No, it's not my property.

1364
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,000
So, we'll see what the creep people have

1365
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,000
to say." He said, "It's just been

1366
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,720
accumulating for decades." And It's

1367
00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:30,470
there.

1368
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,520
» How far on the the creek removal is it?

1369
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,599
Are they all the way done? Are they

1370
00:52:35,599 --> 00:52:37,760
halfway? Are they 3/4 where?

1371
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,839
>> What percentage that project or that?

1372
00:52:39,839 --> 00:52:41,280
Because a lot of it we don't you can't

1373
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,200
see from the road.

1374
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,920
>> I don't know that you can see. [cough]

1375
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,200
>> Oh, [clears throat] it's going to be a

1376
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,359
multi-year.

1377
00:52:49,359 --> 00:52:53,440
So if if you look at the the watershed,

1378
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,520
the where we started is the southern

1379
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,400
portion of the city uh pretty much near

1380
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,280
the city limits at the main the main

1381
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,720
branch and then as you go north up to

1382
00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:08,480
say West Main Street, you cross under

1383
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,160
153 and then you have the area that you

1384
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,000
just referenced kind of across from me.

1385
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,160
But then if there's tributaries that go

1386
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,559
off. So, if if you're talking about all

1387
00:53:16,559 --> 00:53:18,000
of it, it's definitely going to be a

1388
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,040
multi-year project.

1389
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,720
We'll of course continue to make

1390
00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:25,119
progress with what seems, as Daryl said,

1391
00:53:25,119 --> 00:53:27,359
knock on wood, which seems to have a

1392
00:53:27,359 --> 00:53:29,359
very positive effect on the on the water

1393
00:53:29,359 --> 00:53:31,440
coming out of the banks, but it's going

1394
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,760
to be a process.

1395
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,839
>> And just for landmark reference points,

1396
00:53:37,839 --> 00:53:39,760
um the first phase of it took us up

1397
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:44,079
almost past where the cemetery is on

1398
00:53:44,079 --> 00:53:46,559
out here. So

1399
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:49,599
they're Yeah, thank you. So they're

1400
00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:52,000
about even with that. That's the first

1401
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,760
phase of it. But like he said, that was

1402
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,720
us going all the way down to the border,

1403
00:53:56,720 --> 00:53:58,240
the city limits down there and starting

1404
00:53:58,240 --> 00:53:59,680
there and working our way up past the

1405
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,680
sewer plant, starting to head north from

1406
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,790
there.

1407
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,559
» I I don't know that I remember a summer

1408
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:10,720
where at some point we did not have

1409
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:13,119
flooding over Main Street Chapel. That's

1410
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:14,800
what we very fortunately have not had

1411
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:15,440
this year.

1412
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,280
>> Yeah. And we all have that. So there's

1413
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,440
that level gauge that's on the bridge

1414
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,319
there that runs over 44 on the north

1415
00:54:22,319 --> 00:54:24,400
side up there. And I keep we all have So

1416
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:25,839
a lot of us in the service department,

1417
00:54:25,839 --> 00:54:28,079
we have you can get alerts for that.

1418
00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:29,680
>> You can sign up to get an alert when it

1419
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,599
goes over a certain threshold. We've all

1420
00:54:31,599 --> 00:54:32,960
been kind of waiting to get an alert

1421
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:34,720
that it's gone over that threshold and

1422
00:54:34,720 --> 00:54:37,040
it just doesn't it hasn't yet. So again,

1423
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,440
knock on wood, but hopefully that's good

1424
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:40,400
news.

1425
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,559
>> Okay. Well, that that almost seems like

1426
00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:44,400
an ongoing project, I would think,

1427
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:45,280
right? I mean,

1428
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,640
>> well, I I think so. And and and Darl,

1429
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,280
tell me if you disagree. I it's I don't

1430
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,440
know this has ever been done before.

1431
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,200
>> Uh as far as cleaning the the creek, the

1432
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,599
bed clearing, which is what the the Army

1433
00:54:59,599 --> 00:55:01,280
Corp of Engineer calls it.

1434
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,640
>> I don't know that it's ever been done.

1435
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,079
There are probably trees in there that

1436
00:55:04,079 --> 00:55:05,760
have been there for

1437
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,119
>> 50 years. I don't think it has. And most

1438
00:55:09,119 --> 00:55:12,240
largely due to the the fear of touching

1439
00:55:12,240 --> 00:55:13,839
any of it because for the longest time

1440
00:55:13,839 --> 00:55:14,800
it was like what [clears throat] can you

1441
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,119
do? What what are you allowed to do? You

1442
00:55:17,119 --> 00:55:17,839
know

1443
00:55:17,839 --> 00:55:20,240
>> and it wasn't until the Army Corps of

1444
00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:21,920
Engineers come they came in and did

1445
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,839
their report and they they said hey this

1446
00:55:23,839 --> 00:55:25,040
is your best

1447
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,200
>> the best bang for your buck here just to

1448
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:28,880
clear the dead stuff out clear the

1449
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,880
debris out of it. That's addicted

1450
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,880
capacity in itself you know to just get

1451
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,680
that stuff out of the way. So

1452
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,280
>> yeah, certainly not that it would

1453
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,480
require maintenance over time, but I

1454
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,400
ideally we would never be in this

1455
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:43,520
position again,

1456
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,200
>> but just looking at a really really

1457
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,280
small sample size of the tributary. I

1458
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,520
mean, I had about 300 feet in my

1459
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,520
backyard of the broad monarch and for 25

1460
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,160
years it it looked different all the

1461
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,839
time. I would clear it out, something

1462
00:55:57,839 --> 00:56:00,160
else would fall or come down,

1463
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,599
>> you know, from the west. It was kind of

1464
00:56:03,599 --> 00:56:05,680
constant. So if you're only looking at

1465
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,920
300 feet there of a tributary, I can't

1466
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,119
even imagine over the course of 25 years

1467
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:13,599
what the Non Creek would look like.

1468
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:15,599
There's a lot more area to cover.

1469
00:56:15,599 --> 00:56:16,799
>> There's a lot.

1470
00:56:16,799 --> 00:56:17,440
>> Yeah.

1471
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,920
>> Darl, do you guys haul it away or do you

1472
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,000
just put it out far on the banks where

1473
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:22,480
it could?

1474
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,160
>> So what they they did was they brought

1475
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:25,440
in a wood chipper.

1476
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:26,160
>> Okay.

1477
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,480
>> And um a lot of the bigger [snorts]

1478
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,319
stuff was they had to haul away, but

1479
00:56:30,319 --> 00:56:32,640
then as much as they possibly could.

1480
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,480
They were just chipping it up and just

1481
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,640
spraying it off into the away from the bank there.

1482
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,640
>> Okay. Yeah, we're we're paying a company

1483
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,799
to do it. Our our service guys are doing

1484
00:56:42,799 --> 00:56:44,079
it. Gotcha.

1485
00:56:44,079 --> 00:56:45,920
>> Yeah. I'm sorry. I probably should have

1486
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,760
clarified that, but yeah, it's the tree

1487
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,240
company that's coming in to help us out.

1488
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:52,640
>> And did you see an advantage at the

1489
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,040
water treatment plant of like excess

1490
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,040
water that it's pumping through there or

1491
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,200
No, you just saw that we haven't been

1492
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:00,000
flooding.

1493
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,079
>> Not Not yet. But I'm not entirely

1494
00:57:02,079 --> 00:57:06,640
convinced that that that the two are

1495
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,640
100% related. I'm sure there's some

1496
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,960
crossing over there, but

1497
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,079
>> um not to get off on whatever, but that

1498
00:57:14,079 --> 00:57:15,520
that's I think that's got some other

1499
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,040
issues there why we're seeing those high

1500
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,400
flows. Okay.

1501
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:19,440
>> I think there's other issues

1502
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,000
contributing to that.

1503
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,880
>> Okay.

1504
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,440
>> Surface water. Yes.

1505
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,760
>> It's a high flow and then it drops off.

1506
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,799
So it's that indicates a big rush of

1507
00:57:32,799 --> 00:57:36,000
water about not necessarily.

1508
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,359
>> Okay. And that's one of the many

1509
00:57:37,359 --> 00:57:39,119
projects that the service department is

1510
00:57:39,119 --> 00:57:41,440
pursuing to to address that so that we

1511
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,599
can get that

1512
00:57:43,599 --> 00:57:46,960
>> that uh processing rate a little closer

1513
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,040
to the number that we of gallons of

1514
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,680
water that we produce.

1515
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,599
>> Okay.

1516
00:57:53,599 --> 00:57:54,799
>> Very good.

1517
00:57:54,799 --> 00:57:56,160
>> Chief,

1518
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,319
>> um I don't have much. It starts

1519
00:57:58,319 --> 00:58:00,960
tomorrow. So, my SRO's are back. And uh

1520
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,359
we need crossing guards if anybody knows

1521
00:58:03,359 --> 00:58:07,040
anybody. Yeah. Yeah. And uh second,

1522
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,359
>> retirees are probably the best.

1523
00:58:09,359 --> 00:58:10,880
>> I know.

1524
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,040
>> Still in good working shape, but with

1525
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,440
the time to be able to serve.

1526
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:16,400
>> I agree. [laughter]

1527
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:17,359
I agree.

1528
00:58:17,359 --> 00:58:19,839
>> You talk about Roman.

1529
00:58:19,839 --> 00:58:21,359
>> That's right. That's right. Are you

1530
00:58:21,359 --> 00:58:24,240
looking for a motion? [laughter]

1531
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,559
>> It's at wills. It's at completely at

1532
00:58:26,559 --> 00:58:29,520
will. see his grandkids do.

1533
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:29,920
>> Yes.

1534
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,280
>> Cross my own grandkids on the woods.

1535
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,520
>> That's it. That's all I have.

1536
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,440
>> Um,

1537
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,599
how and I and I want to ask back to

1538
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:42,319
school, you know, obviously on my mind.

1539
00:58:42,319 --> 00:58:45,359
How many issues do we have with people

1540
00:58:45,359 --> 00:58:48,079
passing buses in the city?

1541
00:58:48,079 --> 00:58:50,400
>> Not too often. And honestly, the the

1542
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,160
buses are really good. they have a

1543
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:53,839
reporting system down with us on how

1544
00:58:53,839 --> 00:58:55,760
they can report it to us

1545
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,920
>> um and if we can get it on camera and

1546
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,920
make contact. So, it is it is not often

1547
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:01,920
that there's an issue. And honestly,

1548
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,640
most of the people who do they don't do

1549
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,640
it on purpose. They may just not realize

1550
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,200
or not have knowledge of how it works.

1551
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,520
>> I know it's a little bit different in a

1552
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,599
you know, in a city with a lower speed

1553
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:16,240
limit than out in the townships or roads

1554
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:17,839
where people are flying or

1555
00:59:17,839 --> 00:59:19,359
>> correct, right,

1556
00:59:19,359 --> 00:59:22,240
>> things like that. But yeah, I known some

1557
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,319
other cities seem to be having issues

1558
00:59:24,319 --> 00:59:25,599
with it or they looked at different

1559
00:59:25,599 --> 00:59:27,440
ways, but I just I never heard it

1560
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:28,480
brought up. I haven't heard it brought

1561
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,240
up by schools or us.

1562
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,160
>> It's not very often that they that they

1563
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,319
contact us. So, it is not an issue for

1564
00:59:34,319 --> 00:59:35,359
us.

1565
00:59:35,359 --> 00:59:38,319
>> All right. One more thing. I know it's

1566
00:59:38,319 --> 00:59:40,000
hot topic and I talked to you already

1567
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,079
about it. Did the Did the flock cameras

1568
00:59:42,079 --> 00:59:43,920
that got taken down, did those get

1569
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:45,040
replaced?

1570
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,119
>> We're working on it and um I talked to

1571
00:59:47,119 --> 00:59:48,559
Detective Clark because he runs our

1572
00:59:48,559 --> 00:59:50,799
flock camera system. So whether I I

1573
00:59:50,799 --> 00:59:52,240
thought it would be better for him to

1574
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:53,599
he's going to come to the next council

1575
00:59:53,599 --> 00:59:56,240
meeting to kind of explain how it works

1576
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,400
>> um because he runs it and then reports

1577
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,040
to me and it it's just I think more

1578
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:02,319
beneficial if you hear it from him

1579
01:00:02,319 --> 01:00:04,559
because he can answer all your questions

1580
01:00:04,559 --> 01:00:06,480
and it's been people have actually been

1581
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,319
coming into station and asking questions

1582
01:00:08,319 --> 01:00:10,559
and we've been very open about what we

1583
01:00:10,559 --> 01:00:12,799
use the cameras for, how we how it works

1584
01:00:12,799 --> 01:00:14,720
and how it's monitored and then when

1585
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,079
people leave they have a little more

1586
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:17,200
assurance because they're they're

1587
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:18,640
reading stuff that isn't always

1588
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:19,760
accurate. Sure.

1589
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,200
>> So, he'll be explaining that next.

1590
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,559
>> Yeah. He's going to do a PowerPoint for

1591
01:00:22,559 --> 01:00:23,760
you and everything. Love

1592
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,030
>> it.

1593
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:28,880
And was part of the

1594
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,440
>> over $3,000 expenditures that was on

1595
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,599
that list. That was one of the reasons

1596
01:00:33,599 --> 01:00:34,880
why?

1597
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,119
>> No, that's just how we pay for it. Um,

1598
01:00:37,119 --> 01:00:39,119
>> but did you pay for it because of the

1599
01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:40,880
problems that we had with FEP?

1600
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,160
>> No, that's not that's not

1601
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:43,040
>> It wasn't related.

1602
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:43,520
>> No.

1603
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,119
>> Okay.

1604
01:00:45,119 --> 01:00:46,960
>> Did Did the ones that get vandalized get

1605
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:48,319
Did they get replaced yet? They're going

1606
01:00:48,319 --> 01:00:48,720
to

1607
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,720
>> They're going to Okay. So, North Canton

1608
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,960
had several as well. So,

1609
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:54,799
>> I guess we're not

1610
01:00:54,799 --> 01:00:55,760
>> the only ones.

1611
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,119
>> We're not the only ones in the area. I'm

1612
01:00:57,119 --> 01:00:57,440
sure.

1613
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,000
>> That's such a good point. Finding those

1614
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,839
people.

1615
01:01:01,839 --> 01:01:04,160
>> Yeah, we they're they're very beneficial

1616
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,040
for us for plenty of things. He'll he'll

1617
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:08,960
do a PowerPoint, but like stolen

1618
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,280
vehicles, protects victims. If there's

1619
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:12,960
somebody who has a warrant and maybe a

1620
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,480
domestic violence victim and they leave

1621
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,640
in a car, we know what car they're in.

1622
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,200
Um, we've used it to find elderly people

1623
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,119
who drive off and may have a medical

1624
01:01:21,119 --> 01:01:24,000
issue or mental health issue. Um, and we

1625
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,640
found them counties away or or in in our

1626
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,559
city. Um, if another county is looking

1627
01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:31,599
for someone um who who may be missing,

1628
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:33,680
um, I know it's been used for find, you

1629
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,280
know, abducted children, missing

1630
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,079
children, um, missing adults. Um, we

1631
01:01:38,079 --> 01:01:41,040
actually had a, um, speaking of school,

1632
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,400
someone that worked for the school have

1633
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,040
a medical issue and we were we were able

1634
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,200
to locate them in county because of the

1635
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:48,799
plot camera and get them an ambulance

1636
01:01:48,799 --> 01:01:51,280
into a hospital. So, it's done a lot of

1637
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:52,400
really good things for us.

1638
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:52,720
>> Yeah.

1639
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,040
>> Well, it'd be interesting to know what

1640
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:56,799
you didn't find because some were

1641
01:01:56,799 --> 01:01:58,240
vandalized or stolen.

1642
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,079
>> Right. Right.

1643
01:02:00,079 --> 01:02:01,920
>> Yep. So, I would encourage anybody who

1644
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,480
has questions, you know, or they're

1645
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,160
curious about cameras, they hear

1646
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:07,760
different next meeting.

1647
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,920
>> Next meeting or I mean, honestly, people

1648
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,440
have come in. We're we're open. You can

1649
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:12,799
come into the police department if you

1650
01:02:12,799 --> 01:02:14,240
have a question on on, you know, what we

1651
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,839
use them for and how they work. And I

1652
01:02:15,839 --> 01:02:17,119
think the big concern is how they're

1653
01:02:17,119 --> 01:02:19,119
monitored. So, um, people get a lot of

1654
01:02:19,119 --> 01:02:21,200
relief when we explain, hey, you have to

1655
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:22,960
put in a case number. You know, our

1656
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,880
detective monitors who puts in the case

1657
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,400
number, what it's used for, and then I

1658
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,000
monitor, you know, when the detective

1659
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,079
uses it, so that it's used for actual

1660
01:02:30,079 --> 01:02:31,680
cases that are open. We're not just

1661
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,119
putting in plates just because we feel

1662
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:34,240
like it.

1663
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,000
>> Tristan Stuttler had a great post on

1664
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:36,400
that.

1665
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:41,040
>> Yes, he did. I appreciate that. Yes.

1666
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:41,920
>> Okay. [snorts]

1667
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,480
All right, Matt, you don't have anything

1668
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:45,280
else?

1669
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:46,240
>> No, I think I've talked

1670
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:47,520
>> other ways you want to save the city

1671
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:48,400
money.

1672
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,000
>> Well, I've got all kinds of ideas on

1673
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,040
that. That's for another [laughter]

1674
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,079
time.

1675
01:02:52,079 --> 01:02:53,920
>> All right. Well, I I'll be at the next

1676
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:58,079
meeting. Can't wait. Can't wait to hear.

1677
01:02:58,079 --> 01:03:04,400
Okay. Um, so I will just entertain a U

1678
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,160
motion to move us into executive session

1679
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,319
for the purpose of discussing

1680
01:03:08,319 --> 01:03:10,880
confidential economic development

1681
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,480
information and for the purpose to

1682
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,160
consider the possible purchase of real

1683
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:18,870
estate uh for public purposes.

1684
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,559
» Second.

1685
01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:22,640
>> Let's go ahead and do it.

1686
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:23,440
>> Gdone,

1687
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:24,079

>> Yes.

1695
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,079
>> Okay. No business expected to follow.

1696

Have a good night everybody.

1698
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:49,818
