1
00:00:03,965 --> 00:00:06,345
To order, start with the pledge to the flag

2
00:00:09,605 --> 00:00:11,905
pledge allegiance to the flag of

3
00:00:11,905 --> 00:00:13,145
The United States of America.

4
00:00:13,805 --> 00:00:15,825
And to the Republic For, to Spanish.

5
00:00:16,445 --> 00:00:18,825
One Nation under God individual.

6
00:00:19,285 --> 00:00:21,025
If liberty, injustice, all

7
00:00:22,655 --> 00:00:24,345
this call is no longer being recorded.

8
00:00:26,005 --> 00:00:30,185
Oh, good. We, we took care of the recording, Dennis.

9
00:00:30,235 --> 00:00:32,465
Don't worry about it. Okay. I hit the wrong.

10
00:00:35,655 --> 00:00:38,625
Alright. Home call. Laura is here.

11
00:00:39,765 --> 00:00:44,425
Uh, Dennis is with us on the phone. I'm here. April's here.

00:00:44,605 --> 00:00:48,465
Austin is here. Mayor is here. Tim is here.

13
00:00:49,605 --> 00:00:53,465
Uh, chief Graham is here. And Dr. Dave Fulton is here.

00:00:54,605 --> 00:00:55,905
So we'll, we'll do the vote

15
00:00:56,085 --> 00:00:57,085
To allow Him. Yep.

16
00:00:57,085 --> 00:01:00,425
Uh, need a motion to allow Dennis

17
00:01:00,605 --> 00:01:03,345
to join by phone.

18
00:01:04,145 --> 00:01:05,625
I make a motion. Second

19
00:01:05,805 --> 00:01:08,385
Motion by Laura, second by Austin.

20
00:01:09,645 --> 00:01:13,705
Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye.

21
00:01:14,175 --> 00:01:16,825
Opposed? Motion carries.

22
00:01:18,045 --> 00:01:21,425
Dennis, you're good to go. Alright. Thank you.

23
00:01:27,225 --> 00:01:31,065
Announcement of, at the September meeting,

24
00:01:31,065 --> 00:01:34,665
there was accusation of theft, uh, against

25
00:01:35,405 --> 00:01:36,625
Dr. David Bolton.

26
00:01:37,805 --> 00:01:39,425
Uh, chief Graham

27
00:01:39,485 --> 00:01:43,465
and the just district attorney have looked into that

28
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:48,025
and I'll defer to Chief Graham, uh, for the results of

29
00:01:48,025 --> 00:01:49,065
that investigation.

30
00:01:50,925 --> 00:01:53,465
Uh, as you said, sir, during the September meeting,

31
00:01:53,645 --> 00:01:56,145
Dr. Bolton was accused of stealing money.

32
00:01:57,875 --> 00:01:59,225
Based on that accusation.

33
00:01:59,465 --> 00:02:01,665
A criminal investigation was conducted.

34
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:05,425
People were interviewed, bank records were checked.

35
00:02:06,435 --> 00:02:07,705
There was a report done.

36
00:02:08,125 --> 00:02:10,545
It was submitted to the Adams County District Attorney's

37
00:02:10,545 --> 00:02:11,665
office for review.

38
00:02:12,725 --> 00:02:16,585
And their determination is there was no crime there at all.

39
00:02:17,965 --> 00:02:20,505
And based on that, the investigation is closed.

40
00:02:24,255 --> 00:02:24,545
Okay.

41
00:02:30,525 --> 00:02:33,225
You have, uh, judge candidate Paul

42
00:02:33,465 --> 00:02:34,505
Rohrer with us this evening.

43
00:02:34,505 --> 00:02:36,585
Would you like to say a couple words?

44
00:02:36,805 --> 00:02:37,905
Yes, sir. Thank you.

45
00:02:38,365 --> 00:02:41,425
Um, ladies and gentlemen, I know you got a full docket,

46
00:02:41,425 --> 00:02:42,785
so I'm not gonna take up a lot of time.

47
00:02:43,445 --> 00:02:45,625
Um, my name's Paul Rohr. I'm running for Judge.

48
00:02:45,625 --> 00:02:47,065
There's an open seat on the court of common.

49
00:02:47,065 --> 00:02:49,905
Please honor, judge George had that seat

50
00:02:49,925 --> 00:02:51,065
for close to 30 years.

51
00:02:51,125 --> 00:02:52,905
Mm-hmm. And he recently stepped down.

52
00:02:53,045 --> 00:02:56,305
Now he's serving part-time as well as his Judge Kon,

53
00:02:56,355 --> 00:02:57,625
who's someone you may know as well.

54
00:02:58,205 --> 00:02:59,645
Um, and they're both serving part-time

55
00:02:59,655 --> 00:03:01,485
until we can get somebody elected in November.

56
00:03:02,145 --> 00:03:04,725
So, long story short, I'm going around to every borough

57
00:03:04,905 --> 00:03:08,245
and every township, uh, board of supervisors

58
00:03:08,245 --> 00:03:09,765
between now and the election day.

59
00:03:10,265 --> 00:03:12,525
Not to campaign attorney Schul is not, I'm not trying

60
00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:14,925
to run afoul of any rules, but it is my intent

61
00:03:14,925 --> 00:03:18,205
to meet all the community leaders and put a face to a name.

62
00:03:18,845 --> 00:03:20,205
'cause I feel like that's really important.

63
00:03:20,485 --> 00:03:22,125
'cause I don't have to tell you all this is

64
00:03:22,125 --> 00:03:23,165
where the rubber hits the road.

65
00:03:23,915 --> 00:03:26,005
This is what makes this a great place to live,

66
00:03:26,425 --> 00:03:27,685
is this type of thing right here.

67
00:03:28,145 --> 00:03:29,645
And I'm constantly reminded of

68
00:03:29,645 --> 00:03:31,005
that every time I come to one of these.

69
00:03:31,225 --> 00:03:33,565
So if I stay on my game, I stay on track, I'm gonna get

70
00:03:33,665 --> 00:03:36,685
to all 31 I think it is by November 4th.

71
00:03:37,065 --> 00:03:38,525
Uh, long story short, um,

72
00:03:38,865 --> 00:03:40,725
my folks had a place in cash down growing up.

73
00:03:41,145 --> 00:03:43,165
And when it was time to raise our family

74
00:03:43,185 --> 00:03:44,365
and settle down a bit, my wife

75
00:03:44,365 --> 00:03:45,925
and I knew this would be a good place to do it.

76
00:03:46,145 --> 00:03:47,685
And we lived just north of Gettysburg.

77
00:03:47,805 --> 00:03:49,045
I got a daughter off of Penn State,

78
00:03:49,105 --> 00:03:51,085
and my youngest is still at Gettysburg High School.

79
00:03:51,515 --> 00:03:54,605
I've been practicing law for a little over 20 years.

80
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,125
I've been in front of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court

81
00:03:57,465 --> 00:03:58,765
and I've been in front of Judge Little

82
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:00,565
and they're both equally inquisitive.

83
00:04:00,685 --> 00:04:03,045
I can tell you. We, we, uh, we're blessed

84
00:04:03,045 --> 00:04:05,165
with good leadership in this state, by

85
00:04:05,165 --> 00:04:07,205
and large, in the primary.

86
00:04:07,705 --> 00:04:08,885
Um, we did really well.

87
00:04:09,025 --> 00:04:11,125
We got about 40% of the Republican vote,

88
00:04:11,745 --> 00:04:13,485
and my opponent didn't cross house.

89
00:04:13,485 --> 00:04:15,245
So we got a hundred percent of the Democrat vote.

90
00:04:15,625 --> 00:04:17,165
And I'm here to tell you, I'm equally

91
00:04:17,175 --> 00:04:18,365
proud of both of those numbers.

92
00:04:18,425 --> 00:04:20,525
And here's why. 'cause politics

93
00:04:20,525 --> 00:04:21,765
don't belong in our courtrooms.

94
00:04:22,475 --> 00:04:23,925
They don't belong in our courtrooms.

95
00:04:23,925 --> 00:04:25,045
They don't belong in our churches

96
00:04:25,505 --> 00:04:27,045
and they don't belong in our school boards.

97
00:04:27,355 --> 00:04:31,125
They're, it's okay to have parts of our society that

98
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:33,365
politics don't have to be.

99
00:04:34,035 --> 00:04:37,325
It's okay. We have other values we can appeal to.

100
00:04:38,225 --> 00:04:40,685
Um, so long story short, everyone asked me, well,

101
00:04:40,685 --> 00:04:42,525
can you keep that coalition together in November?

102
00:04:43,065 --> 00:04:44,245
Can you keep your, your Rs

103
00:04:44,245 --> 00:04:45,765
and Ds from tearing each other's heads off?

104
00:04:46,445 --> 00:04:49,085
I don't know. I don't have a magic wand,

105
00:04:49,305 --> 00:04:51,085
but what I do have is I have faith.

106
00:04:51,765 --> 00:04:53,325
I have faith. 'cause those people who voted

107
00:04:53,345 --> 00:04:55,285
for me in the primary, they did it for a reason.

108
00:04:55,945 --> 00:04:57,565
And I'm pretty sure I know what that reason is.

109
00:04:58,025 --> 00:05:00,405
So, long story short, like I said, I know you've got a,

110
00:05:00,445 --> 00:05:01,525
I know you've got a full agenda

111
00:05:02,025 --> 00:05:03,085
and I don't want to campaign,

112
00:05:03,265 --> 00:05:04,885
but I did want to introduce myself.

113
00:05:04,985 --> 00:05:07,925
I'm gonna leave some of these and I hope you all keep

114
00:05:07,925 --> 00:05:09,005
an open mind in November.

115
00:05:09,625 --> 00:05:10,605
But thank you for your time and

116
00:05:10,605 --> 00:05:12,205
Doc, it's good to see you again, sir. Thank you

117
00:05:12,205 --> 00:05:13,205
Paul. Appreciate that.

118
00:05:13,205 --> 00:05:13,405


119
00:05:14,975 --> 00:05:15,965
Smith, could you please?

120
00:05:20,115 --> 00:05:22,165
Alright. Right next is, uh,

121
00:05:22,545 --> 00:05:24,565
public comment on any action items

122
00:05:24,565 --> 00:05:29,565
of the agenda, any public

123
00:05:32,355 --> 00:05:35,565
Okay. Uh, approval of the minutes.

124
00:05:35,855 --> 00:05:38,045
We'll start with the September 18th.

125
00:05:38,885 --> 00:05:41,125
I make a motion. Second motion

126
00:05:41,185 --> 00:05:42,525
by Laura, second by April.

127
00:05:42,705 --> 00:05:47,605
Any discussion? All is in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.

128
00:05:47,795 --> 00:05:50,925
Opposed? Aye. Motion carries.

129
00:05:52,225 --> 00:05:55,125
Uh, October 2nd budget workshop.

130
00:05:56,125 --> 00:05:59,005
I make a motion. Second Motion

131
00:05:59,105 --> 00:06:00,445
by Laura, second by Austin.

132
00:06:00,865 --> 00:06:05,725
Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye.

133
00:06:06,275 --> 00:06:11,165
Opposed? Motion carries. Treasurer's reports.

134
00:06:11,655 --> 00:06:12,085
Thank you.

135
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:16,845
Um, it's getting old.

136
00:06:17,345 --> 00:06:20,485
The borough's financial situation is very, very stable.

137
00:06:21,945 --> 00:06:25,645
It doesn't change. Um, we've, uh,

138
00:06:26,215 --> 00:06:29,325
we've got a few bills coming in, um, of note,

139
00:06:29,545 --> 00:06:30,565
uh, that I want to discuss.

140
00:06:30,945 --> 00:06:35,845
Um, the paving bill, uh, for the work done,

141
00:06:36,305 --> 00:06:40,005
uh, when Columbia Gas came in and they did the restoration

142
00:06:40,065 --> 00:06:43,005
and then we added a couple of spots to that just

143
00:06:43,005 --> 00:06:45,245
to make a little better roadway out of it.

144
00:06:45,625 --> 00:06:48,525
Um, so that came in at just under $78,000.

145
00:06:49,265 --> 00:06:53,645
Um, the invoice that I received was not itemized

146
00:06:54,545 --> 00:06:58,645
to the standard that I need it to be to use liquid fuels.

147
00:06:59,145 --> 00:07:00,965
So I, uh, reached out

148
00:07:01,105 --> 00:07:03,485
and Kinsley did provide another invoice.

149
00:07:04,345 --> 00:07:07,205
So, um, I have sent that over to our, uh,

150
00:07:07,205 --> 00:07:09,525
liquid fuels liaison to make sure

151
00:07:09,525 --> 00:07:12,125
that it has the adequate information, um,

152
00:07:12,525 --> 00:07:13,605
'cause that'll come up in an audit.

153
00:07:14,385 --> 00:07:18,845
So, um, I have already transferred the funds from our Plait

154
00:07:18,845 --> 00:07:22,325
account into our A CMB account so

155
00:07:22,325 --> 00:07:23,725
that I can write a check out of

156
00:07:23,725 --> 00:07:25,245
that liquid fuels for that amount.

157
00:07:26,505 --> 00:07:30,125
Um, other than that, um, yeah, just,

158
00:07:30,165 --> 00:07:31,565
everything's going really well.

159
00:07:34,025 --> 00:07:38,685
All right. Need a motion to accept the finance report? I

160
00:07:38,685 --> 00:07:40,085

Thank you. Uh, administrative reports.

First item on the agenda, um, is, uh, I'm going to ask you

170
00:08:15,285 --> 00:08:18,565
to ratify the advertisement of, uh,

171
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:20,685
the Assistant Secretary Treasurer position

172
00:08:21,305 --> 00:08:25,245
and authorize me to, uh, work with the personnel committee,

173
00:08:25,745 --> 00:08:29,005
uh, to, uh, make an offer to somebody, um,

174
00:08:29,865 --> 00:08:31,925
and get them hired prior to the next meeting.

175
00:08:32,505 --> 00:08:36,045
Uh, based on the budget, uh, qualifiers

176
00:08:36,045 --> 00:08:39,565
that we have already established for the position, you will

177
00:08:39,565 --> 00:08:42,405
of course ratify that person

178
00:08:42,705 --> 00:08:44,925
and their salary at the next meeting as well.

179
00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:48,125
Um, but everybody will, uh,

180
00:08:48,505 --> 00:08:50,245
be given the information ahead of time.

181
00:08:50,945 --> 00:08:52,885
Uh, we've got some very good candidates.

182
00:08:54,305 --> 00:08:57,925
So, um, I'm asking for the ratification of the advertisement

183
00:08:58,385 --> 00:09:00,485
and authority to move forward and higher

184
00:09:01,205 --> 00:09:02,205
I make motion.

185
00:09:03,105 --> 00:09:06,405
Aye. I'll second. Motion by Laura, second by Dennis.

186
00:09:06,985 --> 00:09:11,325
Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye.

187
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:15,605
A opposed? Motion carries.

188
00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:20,725
Thank you. And second

189
00:09:20,725 --> 00:09:21,805
item on the agenda.

190
00:09:22,185 --> 00:09:24,845
Um, we have been asked by United Hook

191
00:09:24,845 --> 00:09:29,045
and Ladder to be their municipal sponsor for an LSA grant

192
00:09:29,265 --> 00:09:30,485
for some new equipment.

193
00:09:30,945 --> 00:09:33,325
Uh, Dale I'll let you speak to that

194
00:09:35,435 --> 00:09:36,435
Here. Uh, basically

195
00:09:36,435 --> 00:09:39,765
this is a grant applying for, uh,

196
00:09:40,315 --> 00:09:44,085
this particular grant requires a municipal sponsor.

197
00:09:44,865 --> 00:09:46,965
It doesn't, it's not that the sponsor

198
00:09:47,145 --> 00:09:49,805
or the municipal is responsible

199
00:09:49,805 --> 00:09:52,525
for anything other than giving the blessing

200
00:09:54,185 --> 00:09:55,285
As a municipal member.

201
00:09:55,415 --> 00:09:56,845
We're basically their board.

202
00:09:57,145 --> 00:09:59,885
So, uh, we're just basically putting down that,

203
00:09:59,885 --> 00:10:02,605
that we are okay with them purchasing the equipment.

204
00:10:02,915 --> 00:10:04,605
I'll make Aion Second

205
00:10:04,865 --> 00:10:07,365
Motion by Laura second by April.

206
00:10:07,825 --> 00:10:10,885
And on this one, Dale will abstain. Yes.

207
00:10:11,385 --> 00:10:13,485
Um, so we'll get the proper paperwork for that.

208
00:10:16,905 --> 00:10:21,165
Any discussion? All those in favor say aye.

209
00:10:21,905 --> 00:10:24,645
Aye. Aye. Those opposed?

210
00:10:26,625 --> 00:10:29,725
And I am abstaining due to conflict of interest.

211
00:10:32,275 --> 00:10:33,365
Okay. Alright.

212
00:10:33,535 --> 00:10:37,445
Thank you. Uh, the next item on the agenda is to vote

213
00:10:37,445 --> 00:10:39,965
to advertise to 2026 municipal budgets.

214
00:10:40,425 --> 00:10:44,125
We had, uh, our meeting on October 2nd, uh,

215
00:10:45,205 --> 00:10:47,405
probably one of the longer meetings we've had in a long

216
00:10:47,405 --> 00:10:49,405
time, uh, for a budget.

217
00:10:49,665 --> 00:10:51,005
Um, about an hour and a half.

218
00:10:51,385 --> 00:10:52,925
Uh, we went through every line item,

219
00:10:53,265 --> 00:10:55,285
uh, questions were asked.

220
00:10:55,945 --> 00:10:57,805
Um, justifications were given

221
00:10:58,585 --> 00:11:01,285
and, uh, budget looks a lot like this.

222
00:11:01,285 --> 00:11:03,765
Year's. Um,

223
00:11:04,945 --> 00:11:09,605
we are looking at structural surplus

224
00:11:11,305 --> 00:11:15,565
of the general fund budget of $2,105

225
00:11:16,955 --> 00:11:21,645
with $392,435 in

226
00:11:21,645 --> 00:11:21,965
revenues,

227
00:11:24,215 --> 00:11:27,845
$390,330 in expenses.

228
00:11:30,305 --> 00:11:31,405
And the capital

229
00:11:31,665 --> 00:11:36,285
and liquid fuels budgets were actually multi-year budgets

230
00:11:36,875 --> 00:11:38,965
when we passed them last year.

231
00:11:39,585 --> 00:11:43,245
So they are included as addendums to this budget

232
00:11:43,785 --> 00:11:47,245
and should be re-approved as part of the package

233
00:11:51,285 --> 00:11:52,285
I to advertise.

234
00:11:54,435 --> 00:11:58,605
Alright. Motion by Laura. Second. Second by Austin.

235
00:11:59,905 --> 00:12:04,805
Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye.

236
00:12:05,625 --> 00:12:09,045
Aye. Opposed? Motion carries.

237
00:12:09,295 --> 00:12:12,725
Thank you. Next item on the agenda is the cancellation

238
00:12:12,725 --> 00:12:15,085
of the remainder of the budget meetings for the year

239
00:12:16,745 --> 00:12:18,485
Motion by April 2nd.

240
00:12:18,825 --> 00:12:21,165
Second by Laura. Any discussion?

241
00:12:22,545 --> 00:12:25,925
All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Aye.

242
00:12:26,665 --> 00:12:27,685
Motion carries.

243
00:12:28,135 --> 00:12:30,405
Thank you. Aye.

244
00:12:30,555 --> 00:12:35,085
Next item your consideration. Lemme get some paper out here.

245
00:12:38,505 --> 00:12:42,565
So we had put out RFPs for snowplowing services

246
00:12:43,055 --> 00:12:46,405
after the Burwick contract was terminated

247
00:12:47,665 --> 00:12:51,485
and we did not receive, um,

248
00:12:52,905 --> 00:12:56,205
any until yesterday.

249
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:02,165
Um, so I am going to,

250
00:13:03,785 --> 00:13:05,365
um, let's see.

251
00:13:10,145 --> 00:13:11,325
So we're gonna vote on this.

252
00:13:11,475 --> 00:13:13,885
Well, we can vote on it now I guess

253
00:13:14,845 --> 00:13:17,005
'cause we didn't get anything since September 15th.

254
00:13:19,185 --> 00:13:23,245
So we are currently without services if it's snows tomorrow.

255
00:13:23,825 --> 00:13:28,165
Um, that being said, um, it's up to council

256
00:13:28,225 --> 00:13:31,525
to vote on this one whether they want to accept it or not.

257
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:33,845
Uh, if not, I'll continue looking.

258
00:13:34,385 --> 00:13:37,365
Uh, so it was submitted by Tom Chu paving

259
00:13:37,365 --> 00:13:41,725
and excavating, um, plow trucks,

260
00:13:42,145 --> 00:13:45,485
1 75 an hour, two to three trucks,

261
00:13:46,025 --> 00:13:47,245
uh, to cover.

262
00:13:47,545 --> 00:13:50,685
That's pretty much what Burwick and Beaver covered for us.

263
00:13:52,305 --> 00:13:56,245
Hit run Plow trucks with Beaver, I believe cost 2 25.

264
00:13:57,985 --> 00:14:02,005
Um, salting spread. Uh, that's 2 25 a ton.

265
00:14:02,315 --> 00:14:04,765
That is considerably more than

266
00:14:04,765 --> 00:14:06,045
what we were getting from Berwick.

267
00:14:06,345 --> 00:14:08,645
It is in line with what we were seeing with Beaver.

268
00:14:10,745 --> 00:14:15,285
Um, and then if there's a huge storm

269
00:14:15,385 --> 00:14:18,205
and extra equipment has to be brought in, um,

270
00:14:18,275 --> 00:14:20,205
they will call me, get authorization,

271
00:14:20,265 --> 00:14:24,085
and then of course we'd pick up those extra costs for that.

272
00:14:25,025 --> 00:14:29,915
Um, and they

273
00:14:29,915 --> 00:14:31,915
have their insurance and everything submitted.

274
00:14:31,975 --> 00:14:33,595
So I do have that.

275
00:14:36,135 --> 00:14:37,435
How much nip long have they done?

276
00:14:41,185 --> 00:14:42,875
Some I didn't ask how many.

277
00:14:43,035 --> 00:14:44,155
I didn't ask for a reference list.

278
00:14:46,095 --> 00:14:48,195
We had already had a, a working relationship

279
00:14:48,195 --> 00:14:49,595
with the pair trucks, so I didn't,

280
00:14:49,595 --> 00:14:50,795
yeah, I didn't really go. Yeah,

281
00:14:51,105 --> 00:14:52,105
I'm just Curious. Yeah.

282
00:14:52,105 --> 00:14:54,605
You know how much snow plowing they've done. Right?

283
00:14:54,925 --> 00:14:56,125
I don't want somebody coming in

284
00:14:56,125 --> 00:14:57,285
and all of a sudden they

285
00:14:57,285 --> 00:14:58,325
really don't know what they're doing.

286
00:14:58,835 --> 00:15:00,645
Well, they said they do want to, um,

287
00:15:00,795 --> 00:15:02,245
have somebody take 'em around the borough.

288
00:15:02,305 --> 00:15:05,165
And of course that's customary, that's with everybody right.

289
00:15:05,165 --> 00:15:07,445
To have them go around. But Tom grew up in town,

290
00:15:08,665 --> 00:15:10,685
he said he's pretty sure he knows where to

291
00:15:11,015 --> 00:15:12,045
where to put the snow.

292
00:15:16,065 --> 00:15:19,005
And it is important if you whoever takes him around just

293
00:15:19,005 --> 00:15:20,645
to make notes of what the streets are like.

294
00:15:21,345 --> 00:15:23,165
So I figured maybe Chief

295
00:15:23,185 --> 00:15:25,605
or Bailey would be the best options.

296
00:15:26,235 --> 00:15:28,565
Take him around. I know the mayor had done it previously,

297
00:15:28,625 --> 00:15:31,045
but I know you're busy during the day. So,

298
00:15:31,805 --> 00:15:33,405
I mean, as far as damage and stuff, just

299
00:15:33,405 --> 00:15:34,405
To see. And, and then we also

300
00:15:34,405 --> 00:15:36,645
have a map that we give them so

301
00:15:36,645 --> 00:15:38,965
that they know what streets

302
00:15:38,985 --> 00:15:40,365
or streets and which ones aren't.

303
00:15:42,345 --> 00:15:43,345
We have a few of those.

304
00:15:46,665 --> 00:15:47,805
And this is for a year?

305
00:15:48,635 --> 00:15:53,005
This would be through this season. So it's 25, 26. Okay.

306
00:15:53,355 --> 00:15:57,005
Yeah, generally when we were doing the them previously

307
00:15:57,545 --> 00:15:58,605
we were starting them

308
00:15:59,665 --> 00:16:01,605
and then they were going through to the following year.

309
00:16:02,505 --> 00:16:05,645
Uh, the only time we didn't do that, I believe,

310
00:16:06,665 --> 00:16:07,725
no, I'm wrong.

311
00:16:08,265 --> 00:16:09,765
We were doing it for the whole year.

312
00:16:10,065 --> 00:16:11,285
So the council's gonna have

313
00:16:11,285 --> 00:16:12,845
to revisit this again in January.

314
00:16:15,315 --> 00:16:19,325
Okay. Because that's, we, yes,

315
00:16:20,535 --> 00:16:22,885
there was always a split and that's why we had a problem.

316
00:16:22,885 --> 00:16:27,045
Because if you remember previously we had somebody else, uh,

317
00:16:27,115 --> 00:16:29,765
beat beaver's bid beep.

318
00:16:29,765 --> 00:16:32,765
Beaver's bid. That's pretty cool. Yeah.

319
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:34,205
I'm not, I'm not saying that fast.

320
00:16:35,585 --> 00:16:38,405
And, and, and so that guy was supposed to start in January,

321
00:16:39,025 --> 00:16:40,805
but he ended up coming in in November

322
00:16:41,185 --> 00:16:42,885
and then we had two guys in here

323
00:16:42,945 --> 00:16:44,845
and I told him he didn't start till January.

324
00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:47,005
I Remember that. So yes.

325
00:16:47,225 --> 00:16:50,205
So yes, it is, it is only till the end of this year in,

326
00:16:50,305 --> 00:16:53,445
at the reorganization meeting, you guys are gonna have

327
00:16:53,445 --> 00:16:55,765
to say whether or not you want to continue

328
00:16:56,185 --> 00:16:57,445
or if you wanna look somewhere else.

329
00:16:57,755 --> 00:17:00,165
Okay. So you can almost take it as a interim.

330
00:17:01,045 --> 00:17:02,725
I sort of thought we maybe did it like

331
00:17:04,135 --> 00:17:05,205
later on in the year

332
00:17:05,205 --> 00:17:07,005
through the year to get us through the winter.

333
00:17:07,065 --> 00:17:09,125
So we didn't have this problem this time of year.

334
00:17:09,625 --> 00:17:12,965
No. What we usually did was we would advertise it out in

335
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:16,405
the fall and then we would set it up so that in January

336
00:17:17,305 --> 00:17:19,485
it was on your agenda to accept.

337
00:17:19,915 --> 00:17:20,915
Okay.

338
00:17:22,085 --> 00:17:23,485
I make a motion. Then we accept it.

339
00:17:23,645 --> 00:17:26,485
'cause we need something. If we get snow in November

340
00:17:26,485 --> 00:17:27,485
or December, we're just

341
00:17:28,175 --> 00:17:29,175
Laura, you can do it.

342
00:17:30,185 --> 00:17:31,245
Budget can do it.

343
00:17:32,305 --> 00:17:33,685
Do what? Second.

344
00:17:35,065 --> 00:17:37,725
All right. We have a motion by Laura second by April

345
00:17:37,825 --> 00:17:40,085
to approve, uh, parrot chuck

346
00:17:41,145 --> 00:17:43,085
as our snowplowing contractor.

347
00:17:44,905 --> 00:17:48,485
Any discussion? All those in favor say aye.

348
00:17:49,265 --> 00:17:53,005
Aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries.

349
00:17:55,215 --> 00:17:58,725
Thank you. Uh, the next item I have on the agenda

350
00:17:59,795 --> 00:18:02,685
finally is to vote on the, uh,

351
00:18:02,775 --> 00:18:05,365
sewer authorities improvement plan through the rec park.

352
00:18:05,905 --> 00:18:08,725
Uh, if you remember about two months ago, we went over this,

353
00:18:09,185 --> 00:18:12,045
uh, there were some, uh, notations,

354
00:18:12,165 --> 00:18:13,645
I believe Mr. Schultz has provided.

355
00:18:14,385 --> 00:18:17,965
Um, so those were put into a new agreement.

356
00:18:18,685 --> 00:18:20,885
I did receive that as of this morning.

357
00:18:21,825 --> 00:18:24,965
Uh, or else I'd tell you to postpone it.

358
00:18:25,545 --> 00:18:30,445
Uh, we're gonna put

359
00:18:31,425 --> 00:18:33,685
Oh, the, the ones with the signature page.

360
00:18:33,935 --> 00:18:36,405
Sorry. Um,

361
00:18:38,025 --> 00:18:39,165
so everything looked good there?

362
00:18:39,245 --> 00:18:40,245
I don't Did you get the chance?

363
00:18:40,365 --> 00:18:41,765
I, I did. Okay. I did see it.

364
00:18:41,985 --> 00:18:42,985
Are Are you good with it?

365
00:18:44,345 --> 00:18:45,885
Um, they,

366
00:18:45,885 --> 00:18:48,885
they took the notation about the trees out as you saw.

367
00:18:49,465 --> 00:18:53,245
So, so what, what was explained about that?

368
00:18:53,865 --> 00:18:56,125
Um, and I did talk to Laura about that, was some

369
00:18:56,125 --> 00:19:00,885
of those trees are not part of our agreement for the park.

370
00:19:01,115 --> 00:19:03,445
They were just kind of put in there. Right.

371
00:19:03,665 --> 00:19:07,405
Um, we are looking at possibly transplanting some of those

372
00:19:08,105 --> 00:19:10,605
during this so that they just don't die.

373
00:19:11,385 --> 00:19:14,005
Um, and any of them that aren't transplanted,

374
00:19:14,675 --> 00:19:16,525
then value will be calculated

375
00:19:16,585 --> 00:19:18,445
and they'll help us with escaping. Yeah. Yeah.

376
00:19:18,445 --> 00:19:20,285
But if it's not in the agreement, then

377
00:19:20,875 --> 00:19:22,005
they don't have to do it.

378
00:19:23,115 --> 00:19:25,805
They, They would also only put trees in,

379
00:19:25,805 --> 00:19:28,005
they wouldn't put bushes or flowers in.

380
00:19:28,195 --> 00:19:29,565
There's no bushes or flowers.

381
00:19:29,845 --> 00:19:30,845
I know, but if you wanted them.

382
00:19:31,345 --> 00:19:34,125
No, I wanna make sure that whatever trees

383
00:19:34,195 --> 00:19:36,525
that get destroyed get replaced.

384
00:19:36,625 --> 00:19:41,165
And if it's not in that, then that's saying

385
00:19:41,195 --> 00:19:43,605
that they can say, well, it wasn't in the agreement.

386
00:19:47,745 --> 00:19:48,325
That's fair.

387
00:19:54,245 --> 00:19:55,725
I didn't instruct them to take it out.

388
00:19:56,955 --> 00:19:58,405
Yeah. Well that's how they get away with

389
00:19:58,645 --> 00:19:59,645
It. I was, I was

390
00:19:59,645 --> 00:20:03,005
informed and, and I relayed the information.

391
00:20:03,865 --> 00:20:08,085
So the, the language now, uh, about that used

392
00:20:08,105 --> 00:20:11,085
to the language, the paragraph that had the trees, that is,

393
00:20:11,085 --> 00:20:13,605
that they were, they were gonna take out all of the trees.

394
00:20:14,785 --> 00:20:18,965
It says the grantee, which is, is the sewer authority,

395
00:20:19,855 --> 00:20:21,645
shall repair and restore the surface

396
00:20:22,165 --> 00:20:23,285
features within the easement

397
00:20:23,345 --> 00:20:26,485
to a condition substantially similar, uh, to

398
00:20:26,485 --> 00:20:28,205
that which existed immediately

399
00:20:29,105 --> 00:20:30,105
Before. Before.

400
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:32,365
So I think if we identify the trees

401
00:20:32,365 --> 00:20:35,925
that are likely to be taken out, um,

402
00:20:36,755 --> 00:20:38,205
obviously they don't want you

403
00:20:38,205 --> 00:20:40,005
to plant trees in the right of way.

404
00:20:40,715 --> 00:20:42,645
Well, we never knew where the right of way was.

405
00:20:42,915 --> 00:20:45,645
Well, well now, now we do. Yeah.

406
00:20:45,865 --> 00:20:48,445
So the idea is not to plant those

407
00:20:49,095 --> 00:20:51,165
plant trees in the right of way anyway.

408
00:20:51,665 --> 00:20:54,765
So the number of trees that are going to be taken out

409
00:20:55,555 --> 00:20:59,415
that you can't, that you're not gonna transplant now,

410
00:21:00,355 --> 00:21:03,535
uh, you know, I I think the idea is that they're going to

411
00:21:04,525 --> 00:21:05,975
essentially pay for that.

412
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:09,175
Right. Either they have to restore it

413
00:21:09,515 --> 00:21:11,615
or they have to somehow pay for it.

414
00:21:12,125 --> 00:21:14,255
They just can't put the trees back over top

415
00:21:14,255 --> 00:21:17,135
of the affected area because of the root systems going down.

416
00:21:17,435 --> 00:21:18,495
Oh, I understand that.

417
00:21:19,115 --> 00:21:21,295
So that's why it was like, well, you know,

418
00:21:22,205 --> 00:21:24,015
they're not gonna replace those

419
00:21:24,415 --> 00:21:25,775
'cause those aren't going there.

420
00:21:26,875 --> 00:21:28,455
That's how it was explained to me.

421
00:21:29,075 --> 00:21:30,815
But is there anything that states in there

422
00:21:31,525 --> 00:21:33,695
That we, they're, they're gonna put the ground features

423
00:21:33,725 --> 00:21:34,775
back to a similar,

424
00:21:36,155 --> 00:21:38,695
so the tree might not be here, it might be over here.

425
00:21:39,115 --> 00:21:41,415
Or if a tree isn't possible,

426
00:21:41,645 --> 00:21:44,015
they could put a bush in or something else.

427
00:21:47,565 --> 00:21:48,745
But that would be have to be

428
00:21:48,745 --> 00:21:49,745
Coordinated. I would like

429
00:21:49,745 --> 00:21:51,665
to have them mark off where they're gonna go.

430
00:21:53,015 --> 00:21:57,785
There's a map here. It's just the very I've seen that

431
00:21:57,865 --> 00:21:59,185
I want, I want Okay.

432
00:22:01,185 --> 00:22:03,345
Physical flags put into where they're going

433
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:05,945
so I know exactly where that line is going.

434
00:22:08,775 --> 00:22:09,065
Okay.

435
00:22:14,385 --> 00:22:16,445
And then we can decide We can get that

436
00:22:16,445 --> 00:22:17,445
Done. What to do.

437
00:22:17,445 --> 00:22:20,205
Yep. With the trees. Yeah.

438
00:22:20,635 --> 00:22:22,965
What trees they are to know where to put them.

439
00:22:23,545 --> 00:22:24,565
And I don't even think it's

440
00:22:24,565 --> 00:22:25,645
that many to be honest with you.

441
00:22:25,925 --> 00:22:28,445
I don't think so. It's, it's the very edge of that,

442
00:22:29,145 --> 00:22:31,845
you know, like along that stream area.

443
00:22:33,395 --> 00:22:34,605
Well that's what I kind of figured

444
00:22:35,715 --> 00:22:39,045
Because 'cause the roadway goes down, all

445
00:22:39,045 --> 00:22:40,245
They have to do is put two flags

446
00:22:40,365 --> 00:22:42,005
where they're gonna start and two flags at the end.

447
00:22:42,005 --> 00:22:43,405
Yeah, that's what I'm asking. Yep.

448
00:22:43,535 --> 00:22:45,485
We'll get it done and I'll go down and look at it

449
00:22:45,585 --> 00:22:46,885
and, okay.

450
00:22:46,985 --> 00:22:48,405
See what has to be done. Okay.

451
00:22:49,255 --> 00:22:52,125
We'll get that done. Yep. A good idea, Laura.

452
00:22:53,385 --> 00:22:57,765
So we gotta vote the table for now, question mark.

453
00:23:00,065 --> 00:23:02,125
But they are gonna restore mm-hmm.

454
00:23:02,265 --> 00:23:04,005
That's still in there, right? Mm-hmm.

455
00:23:04,085 --> 00:23:06,005
That they will restore that area.

456
00:23:06,795 --> 00:23:09,445
Okay. I'm fine.

457
00:23:10,225 --> 00:23:12,525
And Amy assured me it will be taken care of.

458
00:23:12,875 --> 00:23:16,285
Okay. I make a motion.

459
00:23:18,305 --> 00:23:22,065
Second. Okay. We have motion by Laura. Second.

460
00:23:22,065 --> 00:23:26,105
Second by Austin. Any discussion?

461
00:23:28,085 --> 00:23:31,745
All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed?

462
00:23:32,965 --> 00:23:34,025
Motion carries.

463
00:23:34,395 --> 00:23:38,185
Thank you. All right.

464
00:23:38,605 --> 00:23:41,665
And let me see if I have anything else for you.

465
00:23:42,745 --> 00:23:45,105
I might, as I might as well do the correspondences.

466
00:23:45,825 --> 00:23:48,085
Um, this way I can be quiet.

467
00:23:48,085 --> 00:23:50,685
The rest of the meeting, um, as you know,

468
00:23:50,685 --> 00:23:53,165
with Veronica leaving and Hannah leaving,

469
00:23:53,825 --> 00:23:56,045
we are down the two signers on the account.

470
00:23:56,705 --> 00:23:58,965
Um, and if one of us don't sign, we don't sign

471
00:23:59,545 --> 00:24:00,605
checks don't go out.

472
00:24:01,505 --> 00:24:03,885
So at some point, and,

473
00:24:03,945 --> 00:24:07,165
and it's not on the agenda tonight, um, counsel needs

474
00:24:07,165 --> 00:24:09,925
to decide who's going to be, uh, the,

475
00:24:10,065 --> 00:24:11,845
the other counsel signer.

476
00:24:12,225 --> 00:24:17,045
And then whoever gets hired will also be a signer.

477
00:24:17,345 --> 00:24:19,885
So I can't do anything until that person gets hired anyway.

478
00:24:21,125 --> 00:24:23,765
'cause no sense doing this twice. Well,

479
00:24:23,765 --> 00:24:24,765
Who do you have now? You

480
00:24:24,765 --> 00:24:28,325
It's just Dale and I And if one

481
00:24:28,325 --> 00:24:29,645
of us don't sign, I thought Laura, I

482
00:24:29,645 --> 00:24:30,645
Thought Laura was on it.

483
00:24:31,825 --> 00:24:33,125
It was until Hannah took

484
00:24:33,125 --> 00:24:34,125
Over. No, Hannah, Hannah

485
00:24:34,125 --> 00:24:35,005
took it. Oh.

486
00:24:36,555 --> 00:24:39,005
I'll do it until December 31st.

487
00:24:40,595 --> 00:24:43,045
Okay. If You guys want me to do it.

488
00:24:43,835 --> 00:24:45,245
Well, it'd be easy because they,

489
00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:46,645
they already have your information.

490
00:24:46,675 --> 00:24:49,205
Yeah. We just have to do another That was a previous sign

491
00:24:49,565 --> 00:24:50,605
resolution at the next meeting.

492
00:24:50,715 --> 00:24:51,715
Yeah,

493
00:24:52,035 --> 00:24:53,845
I'll do it till the end of the year.

494
00:24:55,195 --> 00:24:58,325
Okay. That was easy.

495
00:24:59,475 --> 00:25:01,245
Okay, So I'll put

496
00:25:01,245 --> 00:25:02,805
that on the back burner for next month.

497
00:25:03,425 --> 00:25:08,045
Um, liquid fuels notification

498
00:25:08,225 --> 00:25:11,965
for next year came in, uh, after we had our budget meeting.

499
00:25:12,625 --> 00:25:16,645
And they are allocating $32,006

500
00:25:17,295 --> 00:25:18,405
53 cents.

501
00:25:18,865 --> 00:25:20,245
We budgeted 30,000.

502
00:25:20,665 --> 00:25:24,925
So we're in, um, Adams County,

503
00:25:25,505 --> 00:25:29,765
uh, community Foundation, uh, sent a community report.

504
00:25:30,425 --> 00:25:31,885
Uh, so that is available for anybody

505
00:25:31,885 --> 00:25:33,005
that wants to look at it.

506
00:25:33,705 --> 00:25:37,605
We received a thank you card from the, uh,

507
00:25:37,815 --> 00:25:41,005
Adams County SBCA for our a thousand dollars donation.

508
00:25:49,665 --> 00:25:50,405
You don't need that one.

509
00:25:56,505 --> 00:26:01,405
Um, oh, MedEd, uh, is coming through, uh, the park.

510
00:26:04,105 --> 00:26:07,325
Um, so, so MedEd is replacing the lines in the park,

511
00:26:07,745 --> 00:26:09,045
uh, the overhead.

512
00:26:09,045 --> 00:26:10,445
And they've gotta replace some of the poles.

513
00:26:10,785 --> 00:26:15,525
Now the problem was they

514
00:26:15,525 --> 00:26:16,725
couldn't access those poles

515
00:26:16,725 --> 00:26:19,765
because we had a spring coming up through the ground

516
00:26:19,795 --> 00:26:21,485
that we discovered earlier this year.

517
00:26:21,485 --> 00:26:24,645
Right. That, that was flooding out the park and you know.

518
00:26:24,645 --> 00:26:27,485
Right. Well, it's not a spring folks.

519
00:26:28,385 --> 00:26:29,725
It was, it was a waterline.

520
00:26:30,105 --> 00:26:32,045
And, uh, nobody knew it was there

521
00:26:32,055 --> 00:26:33,445
until they marked it the other day.

522
00:26:34,625 --> 00:26:38,645
And, uh, so yeah, it's, we now no longer have a stream.

523
00:26:39,545 --> 00:26:41,365
So you're telling me that's just been an open main water.

524
00:26:41,795 --> 00:26:43,445
It's been an open main the whole time.

525
00:26:43,705 --> 00:26:46,165
And what I would like to know from those of you, of you

526
00:26:46,545 --> 00:26:50,205
who go to the meetings, I would like to know

527
00:26:50,305 --> 00:26:53,165
how they did not know that

528
00:26:53,165 --> 00:26:56,285
that water was leaking all this time. They

529
00:26:56,285 --> 00:26:57,125
Should have a kind of water

530
00:26:57,125 --> 00:26:59,165
somewhere. You would think their

531
00:26:59,245 --> 00:27:00,405
Building wouldn't match up their

532
00:27:00,405 --> 00:27:01,405
Output, I think.

533
00:27:01,465 --> 00:27:04,205
But you think that we're paying for all the chemicals

534
00:27:04,205 --> 00:27:05,925
and stuff to purify that water

535
00:27:06,345 --> 00:27:08,205
and all that water went into the park

536
00:27:08,345 --> 00:27:09,965
to make a lot of trouble for us.

537
00:27:10,065 --> 00:27:12,205
Mm-hmm. So I would like to know

538
00:27:13,025 --> 00:27:15,725
why they didn't know it was leaking.

539
00:27:16,035 --> 00:27:19,045
Because there's gotta be a big discrepancy between

540
00:27:19,755 --> 00:27:21,285
what water they were putting out

541
00:27:21,585 --> 00:27:23,885
and what water the meters were saying they had.

542
00:27:24,705 --> 00:27:28,925
And that's not right. There's gotta be a big discrepancy.

543
00:27:28,925 --> 00:27:30,885
Where, what, where's

544
00:27:30,885 --> 00:27:32,685
This line Down that way?

545
00:27:33,405 --> 00:27:34,565
Straight down through there. High.

546
00:27:34,565 --> 00:27:36,405
Like where the fountain was. High street.

547
00:27:36,625 --> 00:27:38,525
Yep. All the way up here.

548
00:27:38,985 --> 00:27:40,285
No, that's an on meters

549
00:27:40,285 --> 00:27:41,285
Leak. I think it's

550
00:27:41,285 --> 00:27:43,885
pretty tough. Yes. I don't know that.

551
00:27:44,005 --> 00:27:46,045
I mean, they, the only place they can really meter that

552
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:49,365
is going into the tower and out the tower area probably.

553
00:27:49,865 --> 00:27:51,965
And that tower feeds correct? Correct.

554
00:27:52,025 --> 00:27:53,685
But where do you start? Every place they

555
00:27:53,685 --> 00:27:54,725
are in Adams County.

556
00:27:55,875 --> 00:27:57,205
Yeah. But there's gotta be a way.

557
00:27:57,565 --> 00:28:00,765
I know other towns know how much water's going out,

558
00:28:00,905 --> 00:28:02,405
how much water's on the meters.

559
00:28:02,535 --> 00:28:06,725
Right. There's gotta be a way to know at least some of it.

560
00:28:06,885 --> 00:28:08,165
'cause that's been going on for a while.

561
00:28:09,025 --> 00:28:10,445
That's a lot of water. Yeah.

562
00:28:11,265 --> 00:28:13,245
But it's spread out over a huge area.

563
00:28:13,425 --> 00:28:16,605
So is that fixed now? Even West Manheim Township

564
00:28:17,465 --> 00:28:20,485
is getting fed from this town. I 24 hours race.

565
00:28:20,755 --> 00:28:22,165
Okay. But still, that's a lot of

566
00:28:22,165 --> 00:28:24,485
Water getting fed from this cleaning.

567
00:28:25,145 --> 00:28:28,685
So when are they gonna do this? Know? From previous,

568
00:28:30,105 --> 00:28:31,105
That's what I'm saying.

569
00:28:31,115 --> 00:28:33,365
There's gotta be a way to know. Yeah,

570
00:28:33,365 --> 00:28:34,365
Exactly.

571
00:28:35,365 --> 00:28:36,605
Probably over that huge area though.

572
00:28:37,265 --> 00:28:38,405
It really wasn't that much too.

573
00:28:38,755 --> 00:28:41,285
Went down and met the, that's probably where the problem is.

574
00:28:41,465 --> 00:28:44,685
We created RN River. Yeah. One was

575
00:28:44,685 --> 00:28:45,685
Out. Um,

576
00:28:45,685 --> 00:28:48,445
so yes. Closed up, sealed up.

577
00:28:49,185 --> 00:28:52,045
No more plans for a creek. We're good.

578
00:28:52,985 --> 00:28:55,845
Um, we will be looking to restore that area

579
00:28:55,985 --> 00:28:58,605
to the way it was about three years ago. That

580
00:28:58,605 --> 00:28:59,605
Would be nice. And,

581
00:28:59,605 --> 00:29:01,045
and it'll be a nice little area.

582
00:29:01,105 --> 00:29:04,205
And I'm sure, uh, James Becker down here will be

583
00:29:04,205 --> 00:29:05,365
very happy about that too.

584
00:29:06,145 --> 00:29:07,405
So we don't So what everybody else,

585
00:29:07,885 --> 00:29:09,125
I haven't told him yet, so.

586
00:29:09,545 --> 00:29:12,525
Oh he'll. I'll probably get a Christmas present this year.

587
00:29:13,385 --> 00:29:16,485
You probably noticed. Um, oh no, you,

588
00:29:16,665 --> 00:29:17,845
he talks to me all the time about it.

589
00:29:17,845 --> 00:29:19,125
He knows. Yeah.

590
00:29:19,305 --> 00:29:22,565
Um, so, uh, going back to the RFPs real quick.

591
00:29:22,905 --> 00:29:27,045
Um, we had rfpd, uh, for engineer, solicitor

592
00:29:27,185 --> 00:29:28,965
and zoning, hearing board solicitor.

593
00:29:29,345 --> 00:29:32,925
Um, we did not receive anything back from them, um,

594
00:29:33,595 --> 00:29:36,965
from anybody really, uh, except, uh, Mr.

595
00:29:37,245 --> 00:29:42,165
S Sches did, uh, provide, um, or his Salzman Hughes

596
00:29:42,365 --> 00:29:46,405
provided, um, an engagement agreement for next year.

597
00:29:46,865 --> 00:29:50,565
Uh, it has an annual increase of 3%.

598
00:29:51,305 --> 00:29:54,565
Um, so the rates will be increased,

599
00:29:55,825 --> 00:29:57,445
um, by that amount.

600
00:29:57,665 --> 00:30:01,645
And the attorney rate, uh, will go to 1 75 an hour.

601
00:30:02,585 --> 00:30:06,285
And the paralegal, uh, project manager

602
00:30:06,425 --> 00:30:09,405
and law, uh, clerks are at 1 0 6.

603
00:30:10,105 --> 00:30:13,445
And I will tell you that's a lot lower than a lot of firms

604
00:30:14,385 --> 00:30:16,005
in the area.

605
00:30:16,385 --> 00:30:20,725
So, um, so since there were no real RFPs,

606
00:30:21,265 --> 00:30:25,285
uh, for that, my suggestion is going to be to, um, wait

607
00:30:25,285 --> 00:30:28,445
until January and then reappoint Salzman Hughes and Mr.

608
00:30:28,795 --> 00:30:30,765
Ulti for that position.

609
00:30:33,265 --> 00:30:37,125
And at the same time,

610
00:30:37,345 --> 00:30:40,845
we did receive correspondence, uh, from PMCA.

611
00:30:41,465 --> 00:30:45,325
Uh, they also have a rate increase for next year,

612
00:30:46,105 --> 00:30:48,445
and it is $10 an hour,

613
00:30:49,065 --> 00:30:50,485
and that's the first increase we've

614
00:30:50,485 --> 00:30:51,525
gotten since we've been with them.

615
00:30:52,265 --> 00:30:56,565
So, uh, again, counsel will have

616
00:30:56,565 --> 00:30:59,605
to reappoint in January who they want to do that.

617
00:31:00,665 --> 00:31:03,405
Uh, and then the last thing I have is, uh,

618
00:31:03,985 --> 00:31:05,125
we received this today.

619
00:31:05,155 --> 00:31:09,725
It's a road to independence, um, June 22nd to 26th.

620
00:31:10,195 --> 00:31:13,245
This is part of the Lincoln Highway two 50th,

621
00:31:14,385 --> 00:31:16,205
or as part of the nation's two 50th,

622
00:31:16,545 --> 00:31:19,985
but part of it's being, uh, done

623
00:31:19,985 --> 00:31:21,625
by the Lincoln Highway Association.

624
00:31:22,645 --> 00:31:25,185
So, uh, essentially they're, uh, trying

625
00:31:25,185 --> 00:31:26,385
to put together some things

626
00:31:26,815 --> 00:31:31,385
that people can do along Route 30 that, uh, you know,

627
00:31:31,385 --> 00:31:32,785
they can bring buses.

628
00:31:33,015 --> 00:31:36,505
They're looking to get seven buses, um, out of Philadelphia

629
00:31:37,085 --> 00:31:38,985
and back and forth Pittsburgh,

630
00:31:39,605 --> 00:31:42,505
and show people what's along Route 30.

631
00:31:42,965 --> 00:31:46,505
So, um, if you haven't seen the big shoe now's your time.

632
00:31:48,085 --> 00:31:49,825
Um, but if anybody wants any information,

633
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:50,985
I have that here as well.

634
00:31:52,165 --> 00:31:57,105
And thank you, sir. Oh, okay.

635
00:31:57,295 --> 00:32:00,025
That concludes my report. All right. About time.

636
00:32:00,645 --> 00:32:03,465
I'm telling you I should actually do something.

637
00:32:05,725 --> 00:32:07,905
All right, Tim, you're up next.

638
00:32:08,335 --> 00:32:13,225
Okay. So data center ordinance, um, at the last meeting,

639
00:32:13,565 --> 00:32:17,025
uh, we discussed the only, uh, zoning district

640
00:32:17,025 --> 00:32:18,825
where a data center could go in.

641
00:32:18,965 --> 00:32:21,065
And obviously that's the commercial industrial

642
00:32:22,105 --> 00:32:23,145
district on the zoning map.

643
00:32:23,145 --> 00:32:27,905
That's the red area. Uh, on the map, uh, zoning.

644
00:32:28,065 --> 00:32:29,985
Officer Graham and I were, were charged

645
00:32:30,045 --> 00:32:34,265
of looking at the details of, uh, like setbacks and,

646
00:32:34,365 --> 00:32:37,345
and things like that within the ordinance to make sure

647
00:32:37,345 --> 00:32:42,245
that it would fit at least one of the, the existing lots in

648
00:32:42,245 --> 00:32:43,325
that zoning district.

649
00:32:44,105 --> 00:32:48,645
So we're, from a staffing perspective, we're kind

650
00:32:48,645 --> 00:32:52,565
of exhausted, uh, our expertise on this matter.

651
00:32:53,065 --> 00:32:57,565
Uh, so now we have a proposed zoning ordinance amendment,

652
00:32:58,625 --> 00:33:03,245
and the next step, Uh, that's a precondition for adoption is

653
00:33:03,245 --> 00:33:06,565
to send the ordinance to the Adams County Office of Planning

654
00:33:06,585 --> 00:33:08,045
and Development for their review.

655
00:33:09,275 --> 00:33:12,125
Most of the time for ordinances like zoning,

656
00:33:12,125 --> 00:33:15,285
ordinance amendments that are, that are pretty simple,

657
00:33:16,385 --> 00:33:19,725
we send them and then almost immediately

658
00:33:19,835 --> 00:33:21,445
advertise for the public hearing.

659
00:33:22,235 --> 00:33:23,365
This is a little different

660
00:33:23,365 --> 00:33:26,645
because, um, you know, a data center ordinance is,

661
00:33:26,745 --> 00:33:29,725
is a lot more complex than a normal

662
00:33:29,745 --> 00:33:30,965
zoning ordinance amendment.

663
00:33:31,545 --> 00:33:35,125
So one, one suggestion would be to send it

664
00:33:35,125 --> 00:33:37,885
to them now without scheduling a public hearing,

665
00:33:38,715 --> 00:33:41,125
have them review it, provide their comments,

666
00:33:41,825 --> 00:33:44,925
and then we can, uh, discuss whatever comments they have.

667
00:33:45,395 --> 00:33:49,005
They're, they're the planners. Um, I, I'm not a planner.

668
00:33:49,585 --> 00:33:53,045
Uh, chief Graham is not a planner as far as I know.

669
00:33:53,905 --> 00:33:57,005
Um, Dr. Bolton maybe. Nope.

670
00:33:57,385 --> 00:33:59,725
But I do not hold those credentials,

671
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:01,705
But they are.

672
00:34:01,705 --> 00:34:05,645
So the idea is to is, you know, is to give it to them

673
00:34:06,105 --> 00:34:09,365
and have them review it and provide recommendations,

674
00:34:10,065 --> 00:34:11,405
and then move forward

675
00:34:11,745 --> 00:34:14,565
to towards adoption once we review those.

676
00:34:16,905 --> 00:34:19,405
And that could take them more than a month or so

677
00:34:19,745 --> 00:34:20,885
It, Yeah.

678
00:34:21,025 --> 00:34:22,805
Um, it'll take a month. Okay. Take a month.

679
00:34:22,895 --> 00:34:25,245
It'll take a month. So if we send it, you know,

680
00:34:25,475 --> 00:34:27,405
this week we, we make edit

681
00:34:27,405 --> 00:34:29,605
before your, your November meeting.

682
00:34:30,715 --> 00:34:31,805
Yeah, yeah.

683
00:34:31,805 --> 00:34:33,925
If I send it out tomorrow, they'll probably have it for us.

684
00:34:34,155 --> 00:34:36,885
Yeah. They usually get it over a week

685
00:34:36,885 --> 00:34:39,485
before the deadlines. They're pretty good.

686
00:34:40,395 --> 00:34:41,885
Yeah. I mean, we'll let 'em know.

687
00:34:41,885 --> 00:34:44,765
There's no public hearing scheduled, so, you know,

688
00:34:44,935 --> 00:34:48,885
we're really wanting their expertise on this and not,

689
00:34:50,145 --> 00:34:53,925
You Know, trying to push 'em too

690
00:34:53,955 --> 00:34:55,645
hard, so.

691
00:34:56,075 --> 00:34:58,165
Well, yeah, because this is gonna set a precedent

692
00:34:58,185 --> 00:35:00,245
for other municipality reviews too.

693
00:35:02,155 --> 00:35:03,525
Well, what's, yeah. And what's difficult

694
00:35:03,525 --> 00:35:04,645
here is we're in a borough.

695
00:35:04,905 --> 00:35:08,205
Mm-hmm. Right? So these data centers are,

696
00:35:08,425 --> 00:35:10,565
are usually cited in, in areas

697
00:35:10,655 --> 00:35:12,765
where there's much bigger landmass.

698
00:35:14,745 --> 00:35:16,245
We don't have the landmass here.

699
00:35:17,235 --> 00:35:19,925
Good thing for everybody.

700
00:35:21,585 --> 00:35:23,725
So that's the update on, uh, the data center.

701
00:35:25,225 --> 00:35:27,205
Um, any, any questions about that?

702
00:35:29,025 --> 00:35:30,725
Do you have a rough draft of that, that we're allowed

703
00:35:30,725 --> 00:35:31,765
to review ahead of time at all?

704
00:35:33,145 --> 00:35:34,685
Yes. Okay. Yeah.

705
00:35:34,785 --> 00:35:37,725
So do you need a motion for them to send that to the county?

706
00:35:38,205 --> 00:35:42,125
I, I mean, I, I Usually don't need a motion.

707
00:35:42,315 --> 00:35:45,085
Yeah. I, I think I've been authorized to prepare it

708
00:35:45,145 --> 00:35:46,325
and move it forward.

709
00:35:46,625 --> 00:35:48,885
So this is part of moving it forward, asking process.

710
00:35:48,935 --> 00:35:51,525
We're not advertising it. Right. So, yeah.

711
00:35:51,905 --> 00:35:53,085
So I think not. Okay.

712
00:35:53,515 --> 00:35:58,405
Okay. And, and, yes. Okay. Yeah, absolutely.

713
00:35:58,505 --> 00:35:59,565
So you'll send me a copy

714
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:01,765
and I'll send in the municipal request.

715
00:36:02,505 --> 00:36:03,605
Yep. Okay. Okay.

716
00:36:03,745 --> 00:36:06,485
And I, I'll, I'll, I'll get on that tomorrow. I a copy.

717
00:36:07,245 --> 00:36:09,325
I wanna read it. You want a copy? Yeah.

718
00:36:11,215 --> 00:36:15,445
Gotta, I'm glad you want a copy. There's a lot of topics.

719
00:36:15,445 --> 00:36:16,845
Nobody else asked me for a copy.

720
00:36:16,915 --> 00:36:20,085
There's a lot of topics I wanna look at. I can't.

721
00:36:20,225 --> 00:36:21,225
No, that's good.

722
00:36:21,985 --> 00:36:26,005
So the, the next item has to do with, uh, the 2005 h

723
00:36:26,005 --> 00:36:27,365
and h car trailer case.

724
00:36:27,785 --> 00:36:31,085
As I reported last month, we had oral argument

725
00:36:31,185 --> 00:36:32,725
before the Commonwealth Court.

726
00:36:33,025 --> 00:36:34,445
Uh, we have a decision now.

727
00:36:34,625 --> 00:36:38,805
Uh, the decision upheld, uh, judge Wagner's, uh,

728
00:36:38,985 --> 00:36:42,725
May 6th, 2024, um, decision.

729
00:36:43,145 --> 00:36:46,125
So, I mean, this thing has been hanging

730
00:36:46,125 --> 00:36:47,445
around for a long, long time.

731
00:36:48,305 --> 00:36:52,045
So I, I haven't seen any, uh, request, uh,

732
00:36:52,045 --> 00:36:54,965
for further appeals to the PA Supreme Court.

733
00:36:55,545 --> 00:36:57,005
Uh, but it wouldn't surprise me,

734
00:36:57,905 --> 00:36:59,645
Uh, But I,

735
00:37:00,005 --> 00:37:01,205
I don't think the Supreme Court

736
00:37:01,205 --> 00:37:02,325
would take something like this.

737
00:37:02,325 --> 00:37:03,645
Mm-hmm. So,

738
00:37:04,195 --> 00:37:07,365
because the Commonwealth Court affirmed Judge Wagner's

739
00:37:07,525 --> 00:37:11,645
decision, we are now authorized to sell, uh, the trailer.

740
00:37:12,465 --> 00:37:15,845
Now, understand this, we don't get the money,

741
00:37:17,325 --> 00:37:20,705
the any kind of proceeds we get from the sale, we have

742
00:37:20,705 --> 00:37:23,465
to send that into the motor vehicle motor license

743
00:37:23,655 --> 00:37:24,705
fund or something like that.

744
00:37:25,225 --> 00:37:28,185
Interesting. Uh, we can, we can recoup our cost,

745
00:37:28,245 --> 00:37:30,265
but I don't think that means attorney's fees.

746
00:37:30,425 --> 00:37:32,465
I think it means the cost of the proceedings,

747
00:37:32,955 --> 00:37:35,105
which are relatively minor.

748
00:37:35,725 --> 00:37:39,385
But I mean, we will have costs in the process of selling it,

749
00:37:39,385 --> 00:37:42,465
because if we're gonna follow the borough code, uh,

750
00:37:42,465 --> 00:37:46,025
with this, uh, we're gonna have to advertise it for sale.

751
00:37:47,215 --> 00:37:49,585
It's, it's a, a sealed bid process.

752
00:37:50,645 --> 00:37:52,505
Uh, but along with that, we want

753
00:37:52,505 --> 00:37:54,425
to also advertise it in a wider

754
00:37:55,845 --> 00:37:58,025
way than just the Gettysburg Times

755
00:37:58,025 --> 00:37:59,425
because, um,

756
00:38:00,325 --> 00:38:03,305
no one will read the legal ads in the Gettysburg

757
00:38:03,305 --> 00:38:04,865
Times, typically.

758
00:38:05,765 --> 00:38:10,225
So, so the next step is to, uh, advertise it for sale.

759
00:38:11,485 --> 00:38:16,105
Um, I had previously worked on the advertisement, um,

760
00:38:17,725 --> 00:38:20,025
but it's not an action item for tonight.

761
00:38:20,085 --> 00:38:22,465
So I think it should be an action item for

762
00:38:23,215 --> 00:38:27,105
next month's agenda, uh, to authorize,

763
00:38:28,805 --> 00:38:31,065
Uh, The advertisement.

764
00:38:31,765 --> 00:38:34,745
So we have to do that

765
00:38:34,745 --> 00:38:38,245
by resolution if we're disposing of, right.

766
00:38:38,355 --> 00:38:40,485
Okay. Right. So I'll prepare a resolution for that

767
00:38:45,455 --> 00:38:47,885
costs, let's talk money.

768
00:38:49,185 --> 00:38:50,525
We build an impound lot

769
00:38:53,825 --> 00:38:58,045
to put it in, I guess.

770
00:38:58,585 --> 00:39:01,445
But we do have costs because of this.

771
00:39:01,665 --> 00:39:03,485
Oh, there's no doubt. There's no doubt.

772
00:39:03,825 --> 00:39:04,925
Uh, yeah. This,

773
00:39:05,035 --> 00:39:07,565
this has been an unfortunate situation for the borough.

774
00:39:08,865 --> 00:39:11,885
Uh, you know, we, but we had to do it.

775
00:39:12,005 --> 00:39:14,645
I mean, otherwise it, it would just sit there forever.

776
00:39:15,095 --> 00:39:16,365
Right. Without a title.

777
00:39:16,665 --> 00:39:18,885
So This thing has a title tags, vin every,

778
00:39:18,955 --> 00:39:19,965
well not tag, but I guess

779
00:39:19,965 --> 00:39:21,405
title, vin, all that nowadays. Mm-hmm.

780
00:39:21,875 --> 00:39:23,525
Well, it, it doesn't now, but,

781
00:39:23,665 --> 00:39:26,365
and what's odd about this is that the, the

782
00:39:26,915 --> 00:39:31,365
purchaser will have to obtain a new replacement VIN plate.

783
00:39:31,745 --> 00:39:33,365
So they gotta get through specialty construction

784
00:39:33,365 --> 00:39:35,085
and all that, I'm assuming.

785
00:39:35,595 --> 00:39:38,165
Yeah. So it, it, you know, whoever the,

786
00:39:38,705 --> 00:39:41,685
the purchaser is gonna have to know kind

787
00:39:41,685 --> 00:39:42,725
of how to deal with this.

788
00:39:43,585 --> 00:39:46,045
We, we have a court order that authorizes the sale

789
00:39:46,315 --> 00:39:50,525
that will authorize a replacement VIN plate for

790
00:39:50,525 --> 00:39:54,165
with pendot, but it's not a simple transaction

791
00:39:54,165 --> 00:39:56,165
where we have a, we don't even have a title.

792
00:39:56,705 --> 00:40:00,245
Gotcha. So it's, it's a little unusual,

793
00:40:00,665 --> 00:40:02,845
but that's the other little wrinkle here.

794
00:40:03,905 --> 00:40:07,285
So it, it might scare away like a normal

795
00:40:08,245 --> 00:40:09,365
guy who just wants the trailer.

796
00:40:10,535 --> 00:40:12,925
Right. Yeah. That's a pain in the butt

797
00:40:14,075 --> 00:40:15,485
Certified inspection station.

798
00:40:15,665 --> 00:40:16,965
You gotta take pictures of it.

799
00:40:17,825 --> 00:40:19,645
All the legal documents gotta be

800
00:40:19,645 --> 00:40:22,325
crossed eye and everything else. It's a pain.

801
00:40:22,655 --> 00:40:27,205
Right. Well, this whole thing has been a

802
00:40:27,205 --> 00:40:28,245
Pain and it, and

803
00:40:28,245 --> 00:40:31,565
It's an in and it's a special, uh, inspection on that too.

804
00:40:31,905 --> 00:40:34,285
Mm-hmm. You'll sit here another year,

805
00:40:34,385 --> 00:40:35,605
You'll have more money In that.

806
00:40:36,825 --> 00:40:39,445
So we can recoup the costs associated with the,

807
00:40:39,595 --> 00:40:42,725
with the proceedings and whatever.

808
00:40:43,305 --> 00:40:46,165
If there is a balance, we need to send that into the state.

809
00:40:47,225 --> 00:40:50,045
So you said we can't pay for attorney's fees outta that?

810
00:40:50,425 --> 00:40:51,645
No. Right.

811
00:40:51,905 --> 00:40:53,605
So, so if you prepare the ad,

812
00:40:53,665 --> 00:40:55,365
we can't pay you for it out of that.

813
00:40:55,365 --> 00:40:56,365
Right.

814
00:40:57,065 --> 00:41:00,805
Um, So I should probably prepare the ad

815
00:41:02,275 --> 00:41:03,045
Post it on Facebook,

816
00:41:03,075 --> 00:41:04,245
Even though I don't want to do all that.

817
00:41:04,745 --> 00:41:07,125
The other, um, the other suggestion is,

818
00:41:09,025 --> 00:41:14,005
the other suggestion is, um, uh, is municipal bid

819
00:41:15,545 --> 00:41:18,605
an adequate platform for us to sell that one?

820
00:41:21,585 --> 00:41:22,805
It is approved by the state.

821
00:41:22,945 --> 00:41:26,445
It it is, yeah. Um, and it would get us a bigger net.

822
00:41:27,165 --> 00:41:28,365
I don't think you're gonna get much for that.

823
00:41:28,865 --> 00:41:31,725
Oh, I know we're not, but we're gonna get even less

824
00:41:31,785 --> 00:41:33,005
if we sell it around here.

825
00:41:34,135 --> 00:41:37,445
Maybe. I, I, I'm certainly open to

826
00:41:38,085 --> 00:41:41,565
whatever suggestions counsel has about the best way

827
00:41:41,585 --> 00:41:43,005
of selling this thing. Okay.

828
00:41:43,465 --> 00:41:47,165
Um, But to your point, municipal bid will

829
00:41:47,165 --> 00:41:48,525
Work, I mean, better than an ad

830
00:41:48,525 --> 00:41:51,245
and a in the newspaper, you know?

831
00:41:51,435 --> 00:41:53,045
Yeah. I guess. Well, chief

832
00:41:53,045 --> 00:41:54,365
and I were talking about this today.

833
00:41:54,365 --> 00:41:56,925
We're trying to figure out what is the best way to do that,

834
00:41:57,305 --> 00:42:00,365
you know, so in addition, if we didn't go municipal bid,

835
00:42:00,675 --> 00:42:01,605
Just let me know. Yeah.

836
00:42:02,145 --> 00:42:03,965
Do you just post it for auction?

837
00:42:04,275 --> 00:42:05,925
Yeah. You basically post it for auction.

838
00:42:05,945 --> 00:42:07,125
You put a time limit on it,

839
00:42:07,425 --> 00:42:08,565
and then at the end of the auction,

840
00:42:08,565 --> 00:42:10,285
whoever bids highest gets it.

841
00:42:10,385 --> 00:42:13,645
Is, is that how like municipal bid works or, mm-hmm.

842
00:42:13,725 --> 00:42:14,765
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's

843
00:42:14,765 --> 00:42:16,685
An, it's like eBay for municipals.

844
00:42:16,965 --> 00:42:17,965
I gotcha. Yeah.

845
00:42:21,065 --> 00:42:22,605
Scotty, Well, if you don't sell it,

846
00:42:22,605 --> 00:42:25,365
you can always just keep it and we'll use it to haul water

847
00:42:26,505 --> 00:42:30,205
or mulch for on the property.

848
00:42:30,645 --> 00:42:32,685
I like how you, you said that with street feast tight.

849
00:42:32,865 --> 00:42:34,725
See who's gonna haul it? So,

850
00:42:34,845 --> 00:42:37,725
I mean, for Public works crew, Scotty,

851
00:42:37,785 --> 00:42:39,125
you have a truck. If you end up office,

852
00:42:39,705 --> 00:42:41,925
The Park, your little tractor, you, uh,

853
00:42:42,075 --> 00:42:43,075
That pulled that.

854
00:42:43,435 --> 00:42:47,045
Yeah. In reality though, I mean, you

855
00:42:47,735 --> 00:42:49,525
could weld up walls on it if you want to.

856
00:42:49,525 --> 00:42:51,885
When you're talking a trailer, you could weld up walls

857
00:42:51,885 --> 00:42:53,125
and you could use it for public use.

858
00:42:53,125 --> 00:42:55,965
We have the other police to use for public use already.

859
00:42:56,225 --> 00:43:00,605
Are we allowed to keep it? No. No. Okay. Well, nevermind.

860
00:43:00,825 --> 00:43:02,605
We not joking anyway. Well,

861
00:43:02,645 --> 00:43:05,845
I mean, I, it was actually a good idea as far as function.

862
00:43:08,025 --> 00:43:11,325
All right. Anything else we

863
00:43:11,325 --> 00:43:12,605
have, you have anything else?

864
00:43:13,675 --> 00:43:15,005
Okay. So

865
00:43:17,265 --> 00:43:19,205
On the engineering side tonight, that I know

866
00:43:19,205 --> 00:43:20,205
Of, no.

867
00:43:20,235 --> 00:43:24,885
Nope. They're, uh, they are, um, that's in the process

868
00:43:25,425 --> 00:43:27,485
of, uh, reviewing Sutton Run,

869
00:43:27,545 --> 00:43:30,285
but I'm not gonna step on Chief's toes on that one, so.

870
00:43:30,555 --> 00:43:31,725
Okay. He'll cover that.

871
00:43:33,625 --> 00:43:37,285
All right. Dwayne, you have any words

872
00:43:37,285 --> 00:43:38,925

for one night for, for AB Town.

903
00:45:02,145 --> 00:45:03,125
Sounds like he wants to

904
00:45:03,125 --> 00:45:04,205
have like a social event or something.

905
00:45:04,205 --> 00:45:06,725
Correct. Yeah. Like a trunk or tree for Christmas

906
00:45:06,905 --> 00:45:07,925
Or something to might want happen upon the

907
00:45:08,045 --> 00:45:09,045
Churches. But they, they

908
00:45:09,045 --> 00:45:10,365
usually do that at Ebac.

909
00:45:10,425 --> 00:45:12,645
And that's, can I, I, I know that, but,

910
00:45:12,645 --> 00:45:15,165
but yeah, I mean, you're the mayor. You're

911
00:45:15,165 --> 00:45:16,165
The mayor. Can I send

912
00:45:16,165 --> 00:45:17,405
him up and have approval?

913
00:45:17,585 --> 00:45:19,445
Do we have to get approval to do this? And

914
00:45:20,075 --> 00:45:22,645
What Here, Whatever night it's gonna be.

915
00:45:22,645 --> 00:45:23,725
He wants to be Santa Claus.

916
00:45:26,285 --> 00:45:28,205
I dunno. I'm just

917
00:45:29,055 --> 00:45:30,885
Don't Well, look at me. I'm not having,

918
00:45:31,145 --> 00:45:32,965
And he's a, and he's a wonderful guy. I,

919
00:45:33,085 --> 00:45:34,085
I got enough going now.

920
00:45:34,225 --> 00:45:36,765
No, I thought he there too, that we don't have any special.

921
00:45:37,345 --> 00:45:39,005
And I, and I, and I told him that,

922
00:45:39,025 --> 00:45:41,125
but, uh, he said, Mr. May, see what you can do.

923
00:45:41,325 --> 00:45:42,845
I said, whenever you want, buy the next meeting.

924
00:45:44,705 --> 00:45:46,725
No, there's the person who comes up with everything.

925
00:45:46,825 --> 00:45:47,685
That's what I'm thinking.

926
00:45:47,685 --> 00:45:49,405
That's why I'm looking right at him. Look at

927
00:45:49,405 --> 00:45:50,405
Him.

928
00:45:50,495 --> 00:45:51,925
Don't look at me. 'cause I'm not helping.

929
00:45:52,185 --> 00:45:54,085
Uh, so the mayor currently has

930
00:45:55,275 --> 00:45:58,205
approximately $170 in the line item.

931
00:45:58,605 --> 00:45:59,885
I know, I know you didn't spend it,

932
00:46:00,305 --> 00:46:02,125
but you have, uh, supplies

933
00:46:02,185 --> 00:46:05,125
and awards, $170 left of your budget.

934
00:46:05,785 --> 00:46:06,845
Yep. Um,

935
00:46:08,185 --> 00:46:10,965
we have a hundred dollars from your due subscriptions

936
00:46:10,965 --> 00:46:12,485
and memberships that were not used.

937
00:46:15,905 --> 00:46:18,285
So you do have some funds available at your discretion

938
00:46:18,285 --> 00:46:19,325
that are already budgeted.

939
00:46:19,985 --> 00:46:23,405
If you would like to do something, if you want council

940
00:46:23,505 --> 00:46:25,285
to do something on a larger scale Yeah.

941
00:46:25,285 --> 00:46:26,445
They'll have to approve that.

942
00:46:29,795 --> 00:46:32,765
Like if you did a night with the mayor type thing and Right.

943
00:46:32,945 --> 00:46:36,005
And brought Santa Claus and Yes, you could do that.

944
00:46:36,625 --> 00:46:38,125
We could chat later on about this, right?

945
00:46:38,395 --> 00:46:40,525
Yeah. Yeah. It's in's in your line of jury.

946
00:46:40,715 --> 00:46:42,445
Then if we need to counsel and then we'll just,

947
00:46:42,465 --> 00:46:43,925
You're authorized to tell me how

948
00:46:43,925 --> 00:46:45,125
to spend that money. That's what I would do.

949
00:46:45,125 --> 00:46:47,965
Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yep. At least I can tell him I touch base

950
00:46:48,025 --> 00:46:49,165
and then mm-hmm.

951
00:46:49,985 --> 00:46:52,125
It get from there. I think it'd be pretty cool for him.

952
00:46:52,235 --> 00:46:53,765
Yeah. He's a wonderful, it'd

953
00:46:53,765 --> 00:46:54,765
Be a nice thing to do. Yeah. Santa

After The party, free will change with every, after

956
00:47:01,265 --> 00:47:02,265
The part's closed.

957
00:47:03,875 --> 00:47:06,165
Good. But that's it. That's, that's all I have.

958
00:47:06,785 --> 00:47:11,005
All right. Thank you. Thank you. Uhhuh Code enforcement.

959
00:47:11,005 --> 00:47:13,045
Mm-hmm. Okay.

960
00:47:18,625 --> 00:47:22,085
Jay Mars has submitted their final, final draft

961
00:47:22,985 --> 00:47:24,125
of SU and run estate.

962
00:47:26,115 --> 00:47:29,885
This will be in here at the office during open hours.

963
00:47:30,235 --> 00:47:31,885
Anybody can come in and look at it.

964
00:47:33,105 --> 00:47:36,645
Uh, and Outlie outlays the project pretty much from start

965
00:47:36,645 --> 00:47:37,885
to finish and what the final

966
00:47:40,355 --> 00:47:41,525
Plan Is going to look like.

967
00:47:42,225 --> 00:47:43,925
Uh, since that just came in,

968
00:47:43,925 --> 00:47:45,485
now we don't have a planning commission.

969
00:47:45,905 --> 00:47:49,045
It needs to go to, uh, the office of,

970
00:47:49,465 --> 00:47:51,845
for the county planning and development for review.

971
00:47:53,225 --> 00:47:56,845
Uh, so same thing with them 30 days, once

972
00:47:56,845 --> 00:48:00,205
that request goes in, which the request did go in.

973
00:48:01,145 --> 00:48:04,485
So they have 30 days to get back to us with a response.

974
00:48:04,665 --> 00:48:06,965
Any, uh, criticism

975
00:48:07,225 --> 00:48:10,125
or errors that they see in the documentation.

976
00:48:13,265 --> 00:48:14,525
And that's about it for that.

977
00:48:15,025 --> 00:48:18,485
Uh, continuing to get some more sidewalks in.

978
00:48:19,655 --> 00:48:21,205
Sorry. I need an action item,

979
00:48:21,305 --> 00:48:25,685
or at least consensus to let the engineer engage on this

980
00:48:26,225 --> 00:48:27,645
so that they can review it as well.

981
00:48:28,865 --> 00:48:30,285
Our Engineer? Yeah. Oh, yes.

982
00:48:30,665 --> 00:48:31,885
Oh, I thought he was already,

983
00:48:32,785 --> 00:48:34,205
We wanna make sure that he's good.

984
00:48:34,205 --> 00:48:35,365
And give us a final Yes.

985
00:48:36,155 --> 00:48:38,965
Okay. Motion Made. It's, it's due diligence. Motion

986
00:48:39,035 --> 00:48:40,035
Made.

987
00:48:40,745 --> 00:48:41,745
Second.

988
00:48:42,275 --> 00:48:45,405
Okay. Motion Belo. Second by April. Any discussion?

989
00:48:47,025 --> 00:48:50,165
All those in favor say aye. A. Aye. Aye. Opposed?

990
00:48:51,025 --> 00:48:52,485
Motion carries. Thank you.

991
00:48:55,985 --> 00:48:59,445
Uh, continuing to put some additional sidewalks,

992
00:48:59,515 --> 00:49:04,405
more applications came in for repairs, so hopefully

993
00:49:04,545 --> 00:49:05,565
by spring

994
00:49:05,565 --> 00:49:07,925
or summer of next year, the borough should look pretty good,

995
00:49:07,925 --> 00:49:09,045
at least on Main Street.

996
00:49:09,585 --> 00:49:12,165
Should have all the issues with the sidewalks resolved.

997
00:49:13,545 --> 00:49:18,445
Uh, one property that was in serious disrepair,

998
00:49:18,515 --> 00:49:20,205
they've got their permits.

999
00:49:20,505 --> 00:49:24,005
That's West King Street, and they're, I met with them today,

1000
00:49:24,005 --> 00:49:25,125
and they're gonna follow through

1001
00:49:25,155 --> 00:49:27,445
with getting their roof repaired.

1002
00:49:29,465 --> 00:49:31,805
So at this point, we don't have any

1003
00:49:33,655 --> 00:49:36,565
properties in the borough that are in serious disrepair

1004
00:49:40,425 --> 00:49:41,845
For The first time in a while.

1005
00:49:41,945 --> 00:49:43,765
And it's still there, but it's being fixed.

1006
00:49:43,905 --> 00:49:45,045
So I that's pretty good.

1007
00:49:47,275 --> 00:49:50,885
Awesome. Uh, we have one property in the borough,

1008
00:49:50,935 --> 00:49:53,965
which is dragging their feet, complying

1009
00:49:53,965 --> 00:49:55,165
with the construction code.

1010
00:49:55,365 --> 00:49:59,525
I talked to, uh, attorney Schultes today, uh,

1011
00:49:59,525 --> 00:50:00,685
because it's kind of unique

1012
00:50:01,425 --> 00:50:05,405
and there is a path moving forward to move

1013
00:50:05,405 --> 00:50:06,645
that into remediation.

1014
00:50:08,505 --> 00:50:12,885
Uh, And I think that is

1015
00:50:13,865 --> 00:50:15,805
it for code at this point.

1016
00:50:17,515 --> 00:50:19,565
Okay. Uh, police department.

1017
00:50:20,225 --> 00:50:21,805
Police department, uh,

1018
00:50:23,025 --> 00:50:25,085
as the mayor brought up, both cars are running.

1019
00:50:25,275 --> 00:50:26,725
Okay. Knock on wood.

1020
00:50:28,585 --> 00:50:31,685
Uh, we are approved

1021
00:50:32,345 --> 00:50:33,885
by the Center for Traffic Safety.

1022
00:50:34,665 --> 00:50:38,325
We had requested grant money for various enforcements

1023
00:50:38,425 --> 00:50:41,925
for the 20 25, 20 26 period.

1024
00:50:42,785 --> 00:50:45,965
And, um, we received grant money

1025
00:50:46,145 --> 00:50:50,605
for those 11 projects for the entire period.

1026
00:50:52,345 --> 00:50:54,605
And that will be for the impaired driving,

1027
00:50:54,695 --> 00:50:56,925
aggressive driving occupant protection.

1028
00:50:58,185 --> 00:51:01,005
Uh, and that occurs at different times throughout the year

1029
00:51:01,745 --> 00:51:02,885
for certain periods.

1030
00:51:03,625 --> 00:51:04,805
Uh, so many days.

1031
00:51:05,865 --> 00:51:09,445
Uh, so they gave us a significant amount this year.

1032
00:51:09,985 --> 00:51:13,245
Now some of that was also earmarked.

1033
00:51:13,465 --> 00:51:17,005
Uh, since we are with, continuing with our contract

1034
00:51:17,005 --> 00:51:18,405
with Berwick Township

1035
00:51:18,745 --> 00:51:21,925
and their enforcement, we were actually able to apply

1036
00:51:22,305 --> 00:51:25,405
for grant money for them as well.

1037
00:51:26,025 --> 00:51:29,845
So some of their hours are going to be covered also by

1038
00:51:30,455 --> 00:51:32,565
grant money from the Center for Traffic Safety.

1039
00:51:32,815 --> 00:51:34,005
Thank you. Nice.

1040
00:51:34,225 --> 00:51:37,085
So, uh, some of those roads that we cover for them,

1041
00:51:37,315 --> 00:51:41,885
that bleeds over into Abbottstown, like Kinnaman Road, uh,

1042
00:51:41,885 --> 00:51:44,685
some of the racetrack road issues, if we stop it over there,

1043
00:51:44,755 --> 00:51:47,805
it's not coming into here, but Kinnaman certainly does.

1044
00:51:47,945 --> 00:51:51,205
And 1 94 south of the borough, uh,

1045
00:51:51,395 --> 00:51:53,645
when we stop the issues there, we stop it

1046
00:51:54,345 --> 00:51:55,405
on South Queen Street.

1047
00:51:56,705 --> 00:51:59,285
Yay. Yes. Mm-hmm.

1048
00:51:59,705 --> 00:52:01,885
Uh, and King Street, same thing.

1049
00:52:04,185 --> 00:52:09,045
So that is it for police at this time. Awesome.

1050
00:52:09,415 --> 00:52:12,645
Thank you. Good. Thanks. All right.

1051
00:52:13,715 --> 00:52:16,885
Emergency services. Have anything?

1052
00:52:20,745 --> 00:52:22,445
All right. Committees.

1053
00:52:24,465 --> 00:52:27,245
Uh, is there authority? Anything?

1054
00:52:28,285 --> 00:52:30,005
I don't know if we're having a meeting this month or not.

1055
00:52:30,605 --> 00:52:32,365
I didn't hear yet. Did you ma'am?

1056
00:52:34,145 --> 00:52:38,685
Uh, A-C-B-A-P-S-A-B, anything? No.

1057
00:52:39,875 --> 00:52:41,405
Council, governments, anything?

1058
00:52:41,865 --> 00:52:44,165
Uh, legislative forum last month went really well.

1059
00:52:44,385 --> 00:52:46,165
Um, if you get a chance, go

1060
00:52:46,165 --> 00:52:47,725
to Community Media and check it out.

1061
00:52:48,185 --> 00:52:50,125
Um, Senator Masano

1062
00:52:50,145 --> 00:52:54,725
and Representative Mal gave, uh, some good, uh,

1063
00:52:55,045 --> 00:52:57,605
feedback on some of the laws that were passed last year

1064
00:52:57,905 --> 00:52:59,725
and some of the laws they're working on this year.

1065
00:52:59,865 --> 00:53:01,045
So check it out.

1066
00:53:01,935 --> 00:53:03,085
Where do I check that out? At

1067
00:53:03,275 --> 00:53:04,275
Community Media.

1068
00:53:05,455 --> 00:53:06,605
Let's Go to their website

1069
00:53:06,665 --> 00:53:08,445
and look for the legislative form.

1070
00:53:10,785 --> 00:53:13,445
All right. A-C-T-C-C.

1071
00:53:15,185 --> 00:53:19,445
Budget and finance. Eac.

1072
00:53:20,225 --> 00:53:21,685
The only thing is, again, I'm gonna

1073
00:53:22,665 --> 00:53:25,485
say is giving sprees coming up in November.

1074
00:53:26,265 --> 00:53:28,285
And even if you can only give a dollar,

1075
00:53:28,895 --> 00:53:29,965
every little bit helps

1076
00:53:29,965 --> 00:53:34,845
because every dollar that you get is kind of matched

1077
00:53:34,845 --> 00:53:35,845
with what they get.

1078
00:53:36,505 --> 00:53:40,485
And it really helps out a lot with what we're doing.

1079
00:53:41,265 --> 00:53:44,845
Um, we're also trying to come up with new ideas

1080
00:53:45,625 --> 00:53:49,285
for different, um, things to do for the towns.

1081
00:53:50,145 --> 00:53:53,765
Um, and I just wish, really wish

1082
00:53:53,765 --> 00:53:55,725
that you all can help out a little bit.

1083
00:53:56,125 --> 00:53:57,605
I, it would be greatly appreciated.

1084
00:53:58,675 --> 00:54:03,565
Okay. Okay. Parks and Recreation.

1085
00:54:04,835 --> 00:54:09,285
Well, as you hear, hopefully we won't have

1086
00:54:10,045 --> 00:54:11,045
A river anymore.

1087
00:54:11,145 --> 00:54:13,365
Pretty much. Let's hope. Let's hope.

1088
00:54:13,985 --> 00:54:17,965
Um, which will mean that whole area, if,

1089
00:54:18,145 --> 00:54:22,525
if it dries up and stays dry, have to be all redone

1090
00:54:22,525 --> 00:54:23,765
because all the trees

1091
00:54:23,865 --> 00:54:25,525
and everything that was put in that place,

1092
00:54:26,075 --> 00:54:28,645
including the seeds and stuff I have at home mm-hmm.

1093
00:54:29,055 --> 00:54:32,005
Which I will plant or in the other area, um,

1094
00:54:34,145 --> 00:54:35,245
was meant for wetlands.

1095
00:54:35,745 --> 00:54:40,405
So we're gonna try to move some

1096
00:54:40,405 --> 00:54:42,685
of the trees from that area as it dries up

1097
00:54:42,685 --> 00:54:43,965
and move to the other area

1098
00:54:44,015 --> 00:54:46,565
where we have wetness at most of the year.

1099
00:54:47,305 --> 00:54:49,445
Um, and that's all we can basically do.

1100
00:54:49,865 --> 00:54:53,405
If that area becomes dry enough, we will replant

1101
00:54:54,535 --> 00:54:57,565
trees and bushes and flowers to suit that area.

1102
00:54:58,105 --> 00:55:00,445
But we have to wait to see what becomes of it.

1103
00:55:01,065 --> 00:55:05,725
Um, it may stay wet, not as wet, hopefully as it's now,

1104
00:55:06,425 --> 00:55:08,685
but because you can sink up to your knees down there.

1105
00:55:09,385 --> 00:55:11,685
Um, but hopefully I can. I know.

1106
00:55:12,315 --> 00:55:14,565
Hopefully, yeah, I've been there.

1107
00:55:15,425 --> 00:55:20,285
Um, hopefully we can get it finally situated

1108
00:55:20,675 --> 00:55:24,525
that we actually have some nice things to watch

1109
00:55:24,705 --> 00:55:28,485
and to look forward to in that whole area down there.

1110
00:55:29,265 --> 00:55:31,405
Um, most of our trees are coming along.

1111
00:55:33,105 --> 00:55:36,805
Um, I wanted to try to get more flowers planted.

1112
00:55:37,945 --> 00:55:42,405
Um, the seeds are supposed to be spread this winter, so

1113
00:55:42,505 --> 00:55:45,725
that's what I will be trying to do this late fall,

1114
00:55:46,405 --> 00:55:48,765
probably end of November, sometime in December.

1115
00:55:49,275 --> 00:55:50,325
I'll try to get those out.

1116
00:55:51,225 --> 00:55:54,445
Um, so maybe we'll have even more flowers in the park next

1117
00:55:54,445 --> 00:55:55,645
year, which would be nice.

1118
00:55:56,425 --> 00:56:00,605
And again, please, anybody that can volunteer to help water,

1119
00:56:01,245 --> 00:56:02,765
I would love to be able to plant plants

1120
00:56:02,785 --> 00:56:03,845
in the planters up here.

1121
00:56:03,905 --> 00:56:05,845
We also have more planters to put out,

1122
00:56:06,305 --> 00:56:07,565
but I am not gonna put 'em out

1123
00:56:07,625 --> 00:56:10,325
unless somebody's gonna help water them.

1124
00:56:10,325 --> 00:56:14,005
Because is, even if I get two people

1125
00:56:15,145 --> 00:56:17,445
to come, it takes you half an hour to water.

1126
00:56:17,445 --> 00:56:20,165
Are the planners out here if you could help out?

1127
00:56:20,625 --> 00:56:25,245
Um, thankfully we've got Aland House who does takes care

1128
00:56:25,265 --> 00:56:28,125
of town center.

1129
00:56:29,315 --> 00:56:31,285
Without them, you wouldn't have plants down there.

1130
00:56:31,875 --> 00:56:33,925
They, they've planted, they've,

1131
00:56:35,715 --> 00:56:36,765
They sent already crews.

1132
00:56:36,765 --> 00:56:40,205
We worked together. Yeah. Yeah. They, I planted bulbs

1133
00:56:40,205 --> 00:56:41,805
and stuff down there and they came along

1134
00:56:41,805 --> 00:56:44,205
and said, okay, we're gonna put these plants in.

1135
00:56:44,225 --> 00:56:46,485
And they put them in and they've been watering,

1136
00:56:46,485 --> 00:56:47,565
taking care of everything.

1137
00:56:47,905 --> 00:56:49,685
And same with coffee and Crump.

1138
00:56:49,905 --> 00:56:54,005
Is it Crumpets Coffee and something? Crumbs. Crumbs there.

1139
00:56:54,205 --> 00:56:55,205
Crumbs. Crumbs, yeah.

1140
00:56:55,465 --> 00:56:59,485
Um, they've planted that planter over there too, so, um,

1141
00:56:59,595 --> 00:57:00,925
it's really nice to see

1142
00:57:00,995 --> 00:57:03,365
that everybody down there is getting involved

1143
00:57:03,425 --> 00:57:05,165
and I really appreciate their help.

1144
00:57:05,825 --> 00:57:09,565
It means a lot. And thank you for anybody

1145
00:57:09,585 --> 00:57:12,325
who volunteers. Done.

1146
00:57:12,775 --> 00:57:13,775
Thank You.

1147
00:57:14,335 --> 00:57:16,925
Thank you. You have anything on the rest there?

1148
00:57:17,305 --> 00:57:19,125
Uh, personnel Ed, Laura

1149
00:57:19,125 --> 00:57:21,445
and I talked about some of the new hire candidates.

1150
00:57:21,445 --> 00:57:23,205
Yeah. We went over the qualifications.

1151
00:57:24,185 --> 00:57:27,325
Um, and, uh, sidewalks and streets.

1152
00:57:27,985 --> 00:57:30,725
Um, we've started some line painting.

1153
00:57:31,185 --> 00:57:34,125
Um, we've got some police lines going in

1154
00:57:34,305 --> 00:57:37,165
and then we are going to touch up the lines

1155
00:57:37,315 --> 00:57:38,565
that are in the center square.

1156
00:57:39,105 --> 00:57:40,965
Uh, the crosswalks I think are done

1157
00:57:41,265 --> 00:57:43,125
or no, they're get, they're going to get done.

1158
00:57:43,665 --> 00:57:46,445
Um, and then we're going to get the, um,

1159
00:57:46,445 --> 00:57:48,005
parking spots there done also.

1160
00:57:48,665 --> 00:57:51,885
So it, it's been a couple years since we had those freshened

1161
00:57:51,885 --> 00:57:56,285
up, so I try not to do it every year. But

1162
00:57:56,745 --> 00:57:57,965
No, if people would just allow you

1163
00:57:57,965 --> 00:58:01,445
to walk across the street, that would be fine. Yeah, well

1164
00:58:01,685 --> 00:58:02,685
Remember we had those signs. I

1165
00:58:02,685 --> 00:58:04,805
got their signs and then just run 'em over

1166
00:58:06,235 --> 00:58:07,235
Like they didn't last.

1167
00:58:09,825 --> 00:58:11,885
And the house and the squares up for auction.

1168
00:58:12,145 --> 00:58:15,445
Yes. I saw that You didn't have it very long.

1169
00:58:15,665 --> 00:58:18,165
You can end the mansion. Yep. Get online.

1172
00:58:24,695 --> 00:58:26,525
Place It went up for auction

1173
00:58:26,545 --> 00:58:28,805
for 1.3 when it first went up.

1174
00:58:28,805 --> 00:58:32,165
Yeah. With the previous center and then it just kept Wow.

1175
00:58:32,165 --> 00:58:35,445
Dwindling, annoying, dropping. What'd they sell for?

1176
00:58:35,655 --> 00:58:37,765
Seven? Seven. I

Don't remember. 600 something.

00:58:38,765 --> 00:58:40,445
I think 700,000

1179
00:58:40,445 --> 00:58:41,685
something somewhere. Thought it

1180
00:58:41,685 --> 00:58:42,885
Was just hundred or seven. I thought it was

1181
00:58:42,915 --> 00:58:44,325
Something I could be wrong.

1182
00:58:44,625 --> 00:58:47,045
I'd like to just tour the place. Just look

1183
00:58:47,045 --> 00:58:48,045
At it. Actually on

1184
00:58:48,045 --> 00:58:49,845
the website we have a video.

1185
00:58:50,145 --> 00:58:51,805
We did tour the place. That'd be cool.

1186
00:58:52,045 --> 00:58:54,405
A couple years ago and we filmed it. Okay. So

1187
00:58:54,865 --> 00:58:56,045
The two openings they're having,

1188
00:58:56,145 --> 00:58:57,485
you can go in and look at it.

1189
00:58:58,075 --> 00:59:00,365
Yeah, they do have open houses too. I forget the dates.

1190
00:59:01,485 --> 00:59:05,565
I don't know. I'm not, um, the state PCN came down

um, speed limit.

1206
01:00:02,995 --> 01:00:04,805
It's in the tree. People aren't seeing it.

1207
01:00:05,475 --> 01:00:07,565
Okay. They're Flying down that road.

1208
01:00:08,185 --> 01:00:11,525
And how hard would it be to get a sign back there

1209
01:00:11,525 --> 01:00:12,685
that says children at play?

1210
01:00:15,985 --> 01:00:18,405
We have children, you know, all along there

1211
01:00:18,885 --> 01:00:20,725
I have, I have signs in the shed.

1212
01:00:21,445 --> 01:00:25,525
I think I have a sign in the shed. Can we get it put up?

1213
01:00:27,115 --> 01:00:29,685
Yeah. It's not doing any good in the shed.

1214
01:00:29,835 --> 01:00:31,165
Well then let's put her up. Let's

1215
01:00:31,165 --> 01:00:31,885
Get it up. Just

1216
01:00:31,885 --> 01:00:33,685
Alert them that you, there's sign down there.

1217
01:00:33,755 --> 01:00:35,325
It's only 15 miles an hour.

1218
01:00:35,455 --> 01:00:38,085
We've got 'em going up and down in a one way.

1219
01:00:38,785 --> 01:00:40,445
Um, and it's constant.

1220
01:00:41,505 --> 01:00:44,605
So anytime it backs up, we're getting it behind us.

1221
01:00:44,785 --> 01:00:46,685
Now that's always, And it's always,

1222
01:00:46,945 --> 01:00:49,885
but you know, I want 'em to be able to see

1223
01:00:49,885 --> 01:00:51,085
that speed limit sign.

1224
01:00:51,595 --> 01:00:53,325
Then the sign beyond that,

1225
01:00:53,835 --> 01:00:56,445
that basically tells 'em a truck across.

1226
01:00:56,585 --> 01:00:58,125
Hit that and knocked it over

1227
01:00:58,345 --> 01:01:00,365
so it's laying in our neighbor's yard.

1228
01:01:01,145 --> 01:01:03,365
So, so what I can do is I can have Wick come in,

1229
01:01:03,465 --> 01:01:05,365
put up the new sign, cut back, anything

1230
01:01:05,755 --> 01:01:06,965
that needs visibility.

1231
01:01:07,185 --> 01:01:11,045
That's what we need. Yes, definitely. Yeah. Was that

1232
01:01:11,245 --> 01:01:12,245
Straight on again? That's

1233
01:01:12,245 --> 01:01:15,405
it's on the one way. West Fleet. West Fleet.

1234
01:01:15,545 --> 01:01:19,365
Oh, okay. One way down, down the back. Yep. Oh, okay.

1235
01:01:19,395 --> 01:01:20,965
Down the back by GNSI gotcha.

1236
01:01:21,115 --> 01:01:22,205
Well, sometimes they do.

1237
01:01:22,275 --> 01:01:23,925
When I go out for test drives there,

1238
01:01:24,795 --> 01:01:26,205
it's not delivery trucks either.

1239
01:01:26,505 --> 01:01:28,085
We have people coming down through there

1240
01:01:28,225 --> 01:01:31,405
and I was always wondering if I could just get Chief

1241
01:01:31,405 --> 01:01:35,725
Graham there quick enough. Trust me.

1242
01:01:36,105 --> 01:01:37,485
We, we have, we have met people

1243
01:01:37,485 --> 01:01:38,485
There. Yep.

1244
01:01:38,485 --> 01:01:40,925
Yeah. And they have no conscience. They just,

1245
01:01:41,435 --> 01:01:43,325
It's not even Like they come right down through.

1246
01:01:43,325 --> 01:01:45,205
There's not wide. So I sit there and I look at 'em. There's

1247
01:01:45,205 --> 01:01:46,485
No, like, I don't know what you're gonna rush for.

1248
01:01:46,485 --> 01:01:47,805
There's a road.

1249
01:01:48,275 --> 01:01:51,925
It's right there at one point every intersection. Okay.

1250
01:01:52,055 --> 01:01:54,645
Kathy, any thank you.

1251
01:01:56,205 --> 01:02:00,405
P-B-R-P-B-R. Oh, Mr. Royer.

1252
01:02:02,405 --> 01:02:03,405
I thought it was beer time.

1253
01:02:10,185 --> 01:02:11,845
Um, it's over beer time for me.

1254
01:02:11,915 --> 01:02:13,765
That, you know what I'm thinking? Are you buying?

1255
01:02:13,765 --> 01:02:16,325
You're buying, you're, uh,

1256
01:02:16,325 --> 01:02:19,205
Travis Elizabeth?

1257
01:02:19,595 --> 01:02:22,685
Nope. Okay. Thank you. That's everybody. Anybody else?

1258
01:02:23,185 --> 01:02:25,325
Justin? I don't think you've signed in. Yeah, I wasn't

1259
01:02:25,405 --> 01:02:27,245
Planning on speaking, but, uh, I would like to volunteer

1260
01:02:27,585 --> 01:02:29,685
for doing the plants for water and the plants and stuff.

1261
01:02:29,685 --> 01:02:32,285
Me and my wife, we talked about it. We're willing to do it.

1262
01:02:32,705 --> 01:02:34,125
That'd be awesome. That's Nice.

1263
01:02:34,695 --> 01:02:36,005
Until Ashley, you signed her up.

1264
01:02:36,325 --> 01:02:39,645
I already told her. She already knows. I asked her first.

1265
01:02:40,025 --> 01:02:41,885
She loves her plants though. She's a smart man.

1266
01:02:42,155 --> 01:02:44,525
Well, good. She'd be a good one to do that. Yeah. Yeah.

1267
01:02:44,705 --> 01:02:49,245
It only takes like a half an hour. And Abby was doing it.

1268
01:02:49,795 --> 01:02:52,845
Yeah. Now she's got two jobs and an internship.

1269
01:02:53,475 --> 01:02:55,485
Yeah. Understood. She's so busy.

1270
01:02:55,875 --> 01:02:57,245
It's, you know,

1271
01:02:57,345 --> 01:02:59,445
it only takes about a half an hour to water them.

1272
01:02:59,585 --> 01:03:01,645
The water's out there, you just need to f**k it.

1273
01:03:02,825 --> 01:03:05,245
It doesn't take long and really appreciate it.

1274
01:03:05,585 --> 01:03:07,285
We, we had a lady that was doing it for a while,

1275
01:03:07,285 --> 01:03:09,245
then we had a boy scout that was doing it for a while.

1276
01:03:09,995 --> 01:03:11,365
Then the kids were coming in to do it.

1277
01:03:11,865 --> 01:03:12,885
Now the kids are too old.

1278
01:03:14,635 --> 01:03:16,765
I'll do it. Well,

1279
01:03:16,875 --> 01:03:18,525
between the two of you, it would be awesome.

1280
01:03:18,885 --> 01:03:19,965
'cause then it, they would go on.

1281
01:03:21,115 --> 01:03:23,685
Yeah. So, so if you would just make sure Laura has your

1282
01:03:23,685 --> 01:03:26,605
phone numbers and go around so you can coordinate with her.

1283
01:03:27,065 --> 01:03:28,885
And then if you guys need anything, she'll let me know.

1284
01:03:29,195 --> 01:03:30,725
I'll try. Yep. Thank you.

1285
01:03:33,395 --> 01:03:36,325
Anybody else? I think that's everybody.

1286
01:03:36,755 --> 01:03:41,525
Okay. Thank you. All right. Good of the order.

1287
01:03:42,655 --> 01:03:44,205
April, do you have anything? I

1288
01:03:44,205 --> 01:03:45,205
Do not.

1289
01:03:46,985 --> 01:03:48,725
Dwayne, do you have any additional?

1290
01:03:50,065 --> 01:03:52,045
No. No, but I'll volunteer if any

1291
01:03:52,045 --> 01:03:53,525
of them cars break down on the square.

1292
01:03:55,285 --> 01:03:57,885
I got, I got a phone call right before closing.

1293
01:03:59,645 --> 01:04:02,125
Remember that? That was what was that last year, Scotty?

1294
01:04:02,125 --> 01:04:04,845
Yeah, I think so. Yes. When that one truck broke down, I,

1295
01:04:04,845 --> 01:04:06,485
David new pocket, full tools

1296
01:04:06,865 --> 01:04:08,325
and take the step door up there.

1297
01:04:08,405 --> 01:04:12,085
I got 'em out of the way. A cable truck had a generator on

1298
01:04:12,085 --> 01:04:13,805
the back through a serpentine belt.

1299
01:04:14,755 --> 01:04:19,005
That was my volunteer. But it did pay, but it did pay good.

1300
01:04:20,425 --> 01:04:21,525
But now I don't. That's it.

1301
01:04:21,715 --> 01:04:24,285
Alright, Laura. Um, two things.

1302
01:04:24,295 --> 01:04:26,605
Thank you all for coming. I appreciate it.

1303
01:04:26,645 --> 01:04:29,005
I like seeing people coming in

1304
01:04:29,705 --> 01:04:31,725
and finding out what's going on in this town.

1305
01:04:32,225 --> 01:04:34,445
Mm-hmm. It really makes me happy.

1306
01:04:35,385 --> 01:04:36,405
Um, the other one is,

1307
01:04:37,405 --> 01:04:39,325
remember the golden rule doing unto others

1308
01:04:39,425 --> 01:04:40,845
as you want them to do unto you.

1309
01:04:40,945 --> 01:04:43,045
For goodness sakes. It doesn't take that much.

1310
01:04:43,965 --> 01:04:46,445
I treat others as you want to be treated.

1311
01:04:47,115 --> 01:04:51,885
There's no sense in the whole world right now needs it.

1312
01:04:53,225 --> 01:04:55,885
And I just hope we all do it

1313
01:04:56,395 --> 01:05:00,365
because I'm make it for a better place to live. Thank you.

1314
01:05:01,295 --> 01:05:05,885
Thank you. Um, I received, uh,

1315
01:05:05,905 --> 01:05:07,725
correspondence from, uh, St.

1316
01:05:07,785 --> 01:05:10,005
John's Church. The trunk

1317
01:05:10,005 --> 01:05:14,245

1319
01:05:16,665 --> 01:05:17,665
That's What I text to

1320
01:05:17,665 --> 01:05:18,245
You, Laura. Yeah.

1321
01:05:18,245 --> 01:05:20,845
I write everything on here.

1322
01:05:23,145 --> 01:05:26,645
Are are, are they gonna send me their flyer? Oh, I have.

1323
01:05:26,715 --> 01:05:29,285

01:05:29,945 --> 01:05:32,125
And I'll put it on Savvy. Yep. Okay.

1325
01:05:32,825 --> 01:05:34,005
All right. That's all I have.

1326
01:05:36,465 --> 01:05:40,405
Dennis, do you have anything just motion to

1327
01:05:40,405 --> 01:05:41,405
Ajour? No, well not

1328
01:05:41,405 --> 01:05:45,725
yet. Uh, Austin.

1329
01:05:46,555 --> 01:05:47,685
Well, Laura stole my thunder,

1330
01:05:47,785 --> 01:05:51,805
but thanks everybody for showing up from literally day one

1331
01:05:51,805 --> 01:05:53,125
of me being on here till now.

1332
01:05:53,225 --> 01:05:54,925
You know, whether people are here to, you know,

1333
01:05:54,925 --> 01:05:56,925
speak about something or just listen.

1334
01:05:56,995 --> 01:05:58,965
It's great to see the public's actually becoming more

1335
01:05:58,965 --> 01:06:01,285
interested and more vocal about

1336
01:06:01,285 --> 01:06:02,445
everything going on, you know?

1337
01:06:02,645 --> 01:06:04,605
'cause without you guys, we're not doing what we do.

1338
01:06:04,705 --> 01:06:06,285
And if you're not here, we can't

1339
01:06:07,045 --> 01:06:08,725
properly represent you guys, you know, which,

1340
01:06:08,725 --> 01:06:10,205
what we're elected to do at the end of the day.

1341
01:06:10,435 --> 01:06:12,485
Very true. So I'm appreciative

1342
01:06:12,605 --> 01:06:14,485
to see a, you know, a room full of people.

1343
01:06:14,565 --> 01:06:16,805
I know it's a small town, but you know, small town,

1344
01:06:16,805 --> 01:06:18,005
everybody should almost know each other

1345
01:06:18,065 --> 01:06:19,205
and you ought

1346
01:06:19,205 --> 01:06:21,165
to communicate with each other at the end of the day. Thank

1347
01:06:21,165 --> 01:06:22,165
You. We were all nice.

1348
01:06:22,165 --> 01:06:24,605
You look a nice

1349
01:06:24,605 --> 01:06:25,605
Meeting. Yeah.

1350
01:06:25,605 --> 01:06:26,885
Yeah.

1351
01:06:27,155 --> 01:06:29,645
There's no, we're nice to you. Right.

1352
01:06:29,865 --> 01:06:31,485
But you might have to get a bigger room.

1353
01:06:32,965 --> 01:06:34,925
I think so. You know, I was thinking of that.

1354
01:06:35,305 --> 01:06:36,445
Get a bigger room. Thank you.

1355
01:06:36,955 --> 01:06:39,205
Alright. If it gets that busy, that'd

1356
01:06:39,205 --> 01:06:40,205
Be great. I just,

1357
01:06:40,205 --> 01:06:43,805
um, I concur. Laura and Austin.

1358
01:06:44,205 --> 01:06:46,045
I mean, it's hard

1359
01:06:46,045 --> 01:06:49,445
to represent people when people don't tell you

1360
01:06:49,445 --> 01:06:51,205
what they want until they don't want something.

1361
01:06:51,555 --> 01:06:55,965
Yeah. And, and then it's not, Hey, what can we do for you?

1362
01:06:56,075 --> 01:06:57,885
It's what should we not do for you

1363
01:06:58,555 --> 01:07:00,885
because you don't want us to take certain actions.

1364
01:07:01,025 --> 01:07:04,485
So it, it, it helps to be involved in the process that,

1365
01:07:04,625 --> 01:07:06,285
to sit and listen to the conversations,

1366
01:07:07,305 --> 01:07:09,525
to know why the decisions are made.

1367
01:07:10,005 --> 01:07:11,925
I know Austin and I have had conversations

1368
01:07:12,065 --> 01:07:15,125
and I've filled him in on why decisions were made in the

1369
01:07:15,125 --> 01:07:18,885
past and what deliberations were, um, you know,

1370
01:07:19,605 --> 01:07:21,085
'cause he wasn't here when those happened.

1371
01:07:21,505 --> 01:07:24,645
Um, but I'm really proud of you, ma'am.

1372
01:07:24,735 --> 01:07:26,205
Right. I talk a lot. I'm proud of

1373
01:07:26,445 --> 01:07:27,445
You. You, you've

1374
01:07:27,445 --> 01:07:28,885
started taking your training,

1375
01:07:28,905 --> 01:07:30,325
you've started looking into things

1376
01:07:30,385 --> 01:07:31,925
and I, I, you know, I,

1377
01:07:32,005 --> 01:07:33,845
I know April says all the time, get your training.

1378
01:07:33,945 --> 01:07:36,125
Get your training. I was gonna say often.

1379
01:07:36,155 --> 01:07:37,965
That was pretty nice. What,

1380
01:07:38,055 --> 01:07:39,055
Which part? Just what

1381
01:07:39,055 --> 01:07:41,365
you Yeah, just I can be nice. I can

1382
01:07:41,365 --> 01:07:42,365
Tell you. I

1383
01:07:42,365 --> 01:07:45,005
feel the vibe on you. Laura's

1384
01:07:45,005 --> 01:07:46,285
Done a lot of work. You,

1385
01:07:46,425 --> 01:07:47,845
You must have. It's been hard.

1386
01:07:48,595 --> 01:07:51,245
Your HVAC system must have went good today, didn't it?

1387
01:07:51,595 --> 01:07:54,045
Yeah, actually it did. I had a crappy

1388
01:07:54,105 --> 01:07:55,325
day, but I put a smile on.

1389
01:07:56,905 --> 01:07:58,725
But no, I, I, I do wanna thank everybody

1390
01:07:58,745 --> 01:08:00,485
for coming, um, for being involved.

1391
01:08:00,905 --> 01:08:03,645
Um, if you've got questions, call me during the week.

1392
01:08:03,945 --> 01:08:05,525
I'm sorry if I don't pick up immediately.

1393
01:08:06,145 --> 01:08:08,085
I'm very busy, but I always get back to people.

1394
01:08:08,365 --> 01:08:09,725
I always make sure you're taken care of.

1395
01:08:10,225 --> 01:08:12,925
Um, I know Travis was at the door the other day

1396
01:08:13,105 --> 01:08:16,645
and you know, he saw the sign and he called the phone number

1397
01:08:16,785 --> 01:08:19,005
and Mr. Graham got to him right away.

1398
01:08:19,025 --> 01:08:20,245
And, you know, we're sorry

1399
01:08:20,245 --> 01:08:21,965
that's happening right now, but, uh,

1400
01:08:22,275 --> 01:08:25,045
That was just an FYI post, I am so sorry.

1401
01:08:25,045 --> 01:08:26,085
That got heated somehow.

1402
01:08:26,885 --> 01:08:28,525
Yeah. That's why I'm not in there.

1403
01:08:29,565 --> 01:08:30,565
I dunno how that happened

1404
01:08:30,745 --> 01:08:34,085
For an FYI, I don't, I don't know.

1405
01:08:34,265 --> 01:08:36,965
But, but, you know, I just wanted to point out, you know,

1406
01:08:36,965 --> 01:08:37,965
you, you came to the door,

1407
01:08:38,145 --> 01:08:39,485
you know, and it's the same thing.

1408
01:08:39,705 --> 01:08:41,445
You know, people come to the door, they call

1409
01:08:41,445 --> 01:08:43,205
that phone number, they get me on the cell phone.

1410
01:08:43,625 --> 01:08:45,445
So, you know, even if I'm not in here

1411
01:08:45,665 --> 01:08:47,805
or if I am in here, a gentleman called me earlier

1412
01:08:47,825 --> 01:08:49,165
and says, Hey, you know, I'm at the door.

1413
01:08:49,425 --> 01:08:51,925
And I said, good. I'm in the office, gimme a minute.

1414
01:08:52,625 --> 01:08:53,685
And I come around to get him.

1415
01:08:53,745 --> 01:08:56,965
So, um, yeah, just, you know, we all gotta work together.

1416
01:08:57,015 --> 01:08:58,485
We've all gotta make sure, you know,

1417
01:08:58,585 --> 01:09:00,605
if you're upset about something, let's talk about it.

1418
01:09:00,855 --> 01:09:02,925
Let's get it worked out. Let's find a solution.

1419
01:09:03,155 --> 01:09:07,045
Just like Ms. Wagner, you know, she had, she had a problem.

1420
01:09:07,065 --> 01:09:08,725
She came in, we found a solution right away.

1421
01:09:08,725 --> 01:09:12,925
We'll get it taken care of. So, continue to work together.

1422
01:09:13,115 --> 01:09:14,205
Good deal. Thanks.

1423
01:09:15,625 --> 01:09:17,485
All right, next council meeting.

1424
01:09:17,845 --> 01:09:21,405
November 20th at 6:00 PM Aye. Dennis. Already motion.

1425
01:09:21,985 --> 01:09:23,885
Dennis Already Motion. Dennis made a motion.

1426
01:09:24,505 --> 01:09:26,445
We have a second. Second. Have a second.

1427
01:09:26,745 --> 01:09:30,765
All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Done.

1428
01:09:30,945 --> 01:09:31,605
Thanks Dennis.
