» make you feel important.

20
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:56,720
» Okay. I brought with me a painting.
Um, Ray Swanson was born in Alcestor,

21
00:01:52,240 --> 00:02:04,159
South Dakota, October 1937.
He died December 17th, 2004, and his

22
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:09,599
funeral was held in Phoenix, Arizona.
Swanson graduated from Northwork

23
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:15,280
Aeronautical Institute in 1960
and he began his career as an engineer

24
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:21,680
in California moving away from South
Dakota like so many others. In 1973 he

25
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:28,160
left California to establish the
Christian Academy of Prescott, Arizona

26
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,920
in Prescott, Arizona. He later moved to
Carfield, Arizona where he opened his

27
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:36,879
first studio or one of his first
studios. He became a professional

28
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:42,560
painter of the American West, especially
of the Native Americans. His paintings

29
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:47,519
depicted the lives of the Hopi, Zouri,
and Navajo tribes and were so realistic

30
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:54,959
that they were wellreceived by these
tribes. And he was also welcomed on the

31
00:02:50,959 --> 00:03:00,000
Navajo reservation to paint.
He was a member of the Cowboy Artists of

32
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:05,280
America from 1986 until his death in
2004. He won a gold medal from the

33
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,280
National Academy of Western Arts in
1975.

34
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,680
A lot of his works can be found in
dedicated collections such as the one

35
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,280
found in the Pippen Museum in Prescott,
Arizona.

36
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:22,319
His paintings depicted the daily lives
of Native Americans and have sold for

37
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:30,000
upwards of $87,000 on East Coast
auctions and in Western art galleries.

38
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:35,519
The painting when I researched it is an
original signed oil on artist board Ray

39
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:42,319
Swanson. It is part of his beginnings
into the western arts and AI values it

40
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:46,959
at between 8,000 and 12,500 in pristine
condition.

41
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:52,080
This one isn't pristine.
It has been well-loved and displayed for

42
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:56,879
years.
I didn't know its value or providence

43
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:02,879
until very recently. To me, in my
family, it was just a part of home.

44
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:08,000
I'm a veteran, a Navy vet. I left home
at 17 like so many in South Dakota.

45
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:14,080
And I was stationed on the East Coast
where things were so very different from

46
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:18,079
a young South Dakota girl.
The base where I was stationed, they

47
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:23,040
didn't have a stables, but I was a horse
nut. I found a place by where I could

48
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:30,320
lease a couple of horses for myself and
my family. Uh but that meant that I

49
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:35,919
needed gear. I needed tack.
Being a military family, we purchased

50
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:40,600
used. We were looking.
And that's where I found an estate sale.

51
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:44,680
And that's where I found this painting.

52
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,040
Little town in Virginia. I wish I could
remember the name and I wish I could

53
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:55,280
remember the lady's name.
Alls I remember is a woman was from

54
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,759
Beersford, South Dakota.
This was home.

55
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,440
We purchased the tack. I don't remember
all the tack we purchased, but I

56
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:12,800
remember the painting. It was home. It
was Beersford, South Dakota.

57
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:17,840
The lady had it framed
the plaque. She had it named.

58
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:24,000
She must have loved it as much as my
family came to love it.

59
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:29,120
My children were both born in Portsouth
Naval Hospital.

60
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:33,360
But they call 605 home.
All the stories,

61
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:39,960
all the things I told them about home.
When we finally came home, 605 became

62
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,960
their home.

63
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:48,800
This was the biggest piece of South
Dakota that was in our home the whole

64
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:57,120
time we were in the service.
Now, imagine my surprise when I went to

65
00:05:52,800 --> 00:06:00,800
do some renovations on my old farmhouse
and I decided to research the artist

66
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:08,400
because I could not remember the woman's
name. All I had to go by was the

67
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:13,039
signature in the corner, Ray Swanson.
and I found he too was from South

68
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,280
Dakota.
His beautiful works have been in

69
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:22,560
galleries on the east coast and there is
that collection in Arizona.

70
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:27,840
I couldn't find anything in South Dakota
that displays some of his works.

71
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:34,479
That's why I'm asking the city of
ancestor to purchase this painting

72
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:42,880
for 5,000 to bring him home so more
South Dotans can see this work.

73
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:47,160
It's not one of his more famous works,
but it's a part of bringing him home.

74
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,520
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

75
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,160
» What is the name of the painting?
>> Excuse me.

76
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,319
» Do you have no Do you know what the name
of it is? I didn't.

77
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,280
» Chorus Glenn.
>> Chorus Glenn. Yeah.

78
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:28,639
You can tell from your story how even
though the world is so big through

79
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:33,120
everything, it's actually really small
and it brings it all back together. So,

80
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:37,280
thank you for sharing your story and
your family's story with us as well.

81
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:41,400
» Well, you're welcome. I I used to work
helicopters. I'm deaf as a post.

82
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:48,880
» Part of my last tour.
>> That's okay.

83
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:55,199
» And like I said, I wish I could remember
the lady's name. I really do. Um,

84
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:58,160
» was was the lady from Beersford
originally? Then

85
00:07:55,919 --> 00:07:59,759
» she was from Beersford, South Dakota.
That's

86
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:06,160
» I just wanted to make sure I was adding
these up correctly here.

87
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:11,240
» Yep. And you can tell it is
I displayed it my home not knowing

88
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:18,680
anything about the artist. It is just
oil on artist board.

89
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:29,560
now whether she was a friend of the
family being from Beersford or what

90
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,560
um

91
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:34,360
but it was always

92
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:45,080
part of home.
It was always one of those things that I

93
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:45,080
can say this is from where I'm from.

94
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Um, it had to have been in the early 80s

95
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:04,680
when I purchased it.
I was in the service from

96
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:04,680
1979 to 1991.

97
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,399
So, that kind of gives you a rough time
frame.

98
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,800
One of my service injuries was a
traumatic brain injury when I got blown

99
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:22,480
off of the top of a helicopter.
Fell over 30 feet.

100
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:30,920
» Yikes.
My memory can be a little sketchy.

101
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,920
» My memory is sketchy without that. So,

102
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:33,959
» same.

103
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:42,480
» Um, does anybody else have any
questions?

104
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:48,120
that I can try to answer or
I would just like to see it from

105
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640
um

106
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,880
I think
so I don't know if you saw our agenda at

107
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:10,160
all or have heard any of our big
projects that we have going on. Um,

108
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:15,839
while I would love to keep it here and
display it for everyone, like you said,

109
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:19,360
bring it home. Um, I think that
unfortunately 5,000 is out of our price

110
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,040
range.
>> Does it I mean,

111
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:27,680
» I would agree. We I mean, we make our
budgets a year in advance

112
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:32,720
» and we normally don't set funds for this
type of stuff aside since we focus on

113
00:10:30,079 --> 00:10:39,839
mostly city improvements.
I just don't think right now we have the

114
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:43,360
funds to put forth towards that. And I I
don't know. I mean, I do want to do

115
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:47,279
right by the artists and like you said,
bring them home. I just don't know if

116
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:53,440
this is the right place to truly display
it. Um, and really have that. I mean, I

117
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,560
would say maybe like the library or I'm
trying to think of somewhere that

118
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,399
actually has like a collection of work
that would

119
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:01,839
» Yeah. And we don't have
>> it would fit in with

120
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,839
» Unfortunately, we don't have a museum.
>> Yeah.

121
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,320
» You know, like that would be a perfect
place for

122
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,920
» something like that.
>> Yeah.

123
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:18,440
» Um
I just I I feel like the story behind it

124
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:18,440
and how it means more to you

125
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,640
has more meaning than what it's going to
give to our community and what we have

126
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:29,440
available.
I feel like

127
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:33,920
Reva like the paper
>> if you reach out to the paper and list

128
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,560
it and I think Reva I think this would
be a great because I do know there are

129
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,720
people in our community
>> who would really

130
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:45,839
» who would really they do there are
people that can do that with their own

131
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:50,560
» with their own funds. But I always look
at it and as you're a veteran, you

132
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:54,640
understand when we're holding on to
people's money.

133
00:11:51,920 --> 00:12:00,079
» We're holding on, we are, you know,
dealt with the task of appropriating

134
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:04,079
funds for the people who even if they're
veterans, they're living paycheck to

135
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:09,920
paycheck or or substance, you know, or,
you know, check to check. And so we have

136
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:15,760
to be fiscally responsible. And I feel
it would be a disservice to the people

137
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:19,839
of our community if we I even though I
would buy it because I because I know

138
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:22,560
what we I know we could just be like
nope we're not doing this we're not

139
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:27,519
doing this we are buying pretty things
and we are making our town beautiful.

140
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:33,200
» I am not that's why we that's why it's a
council cuz

141
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:37,040
» Kirstston's not responsibly but I I
would love to

142
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:40,880
» Yeah. And I I would even love to write
something about how important it is.

143
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Like I would love to input on that cuz
it is a beautiful piece of art,

144
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,040
» but like we said, we have
>> too many

145
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:51,760
» we have too many things on our plate.
But we have and I don't know

146
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,160
» I just don't think we can do it service
that it deserves and the story that it

147
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,360
deserves.
>> And even if the city could help me reach

148
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,720
out.
>> Yeah. And Yeah. And I would love to I'll

149
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,200
I could reach out I can reach out to
Reva. I got here I I'm writing down

150
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:09,360
Reva's email address for you
>> and that would be great because I've

151
00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:13,680
been
>> I don't I haven't really found a way

152
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:18,639
other than
>> reaching out this way to say how can I

153
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:22,880
reach out? How can I find a way to bring
him home?

154
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,680
» And this would be even great for people
in the city itself to find a way to

155
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:32,399
bring him home. I think Revo would write
a great story.

156
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:36,959
» She loves and she even if she loves
special interests and our paper reaches

157
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,120
people who live who are from ancestor
who don't get who don't live here

158
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,399
anymore.
>> There are subscribers all over the

159
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:46,800
place. You never even
>> and that's I always say if you never ask

160
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:51,279
and the answer is always no. But you
have to like and somebody's going to

161
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:54,240
know somebody who knows somebody and
maybe even maybe even their family's

162
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,560
watching
>> and they're be like I know Ray Ray

163
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:02,560
Swanson with my uncles, brothers,
cousins.

164
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,920
» This was my initial way to find a way to
reach out because

165
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,480
» I understand city government.
>> Yeah.

166
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,320
» And you and you also understand small
town. You also understand small town

167
00:14:10,079 --> 00:14:16,160
South Dakota. This is you talk to the
people who know the people.

168
00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:21,839
» Yeah. And I live in Camasota myself.
Camod is a small town. But this is a way

169
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:27,519
to reach out and to let city
>> members and city people Hey, by the way,

170
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:30,880
» would you would you mind if we have a
picture of you with it and then I can

171
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,680
send it to Reva.
>> Oh, no, that's fine.

172
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:39,040
» And that way kind of give her a little
bit of a background behind it, too.

173
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:41,600
» And we've got
>> your email address. So, I can share that

174
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,160
with her, too.
>> What was that? I can share your email

175
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:51,519
address with her. Okay. Yeah, perfect.
>> How long was this the high school?

176
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,440
» This section was the high school here um
from the early 90s.

177
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,959
» When?
>> Early 90s. Was this

178
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,320
» a family that grew up here? That's what
I was wondering. They probably went here

179
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,279
then.
>> And then the other.

180
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:07,120
» Sure.
>> And I can give you my email address.

181
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:11,040
» I've got that from what you said, Dave.
Yep. So, we're good there. So, I will

182
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:13,600
get that over to Reva and get that
going. Yeah, because

183
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:18,639
» you know the other thing the first way
to reach out this is somebody's pen.

184
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:23,360
» It's the city. You can have it.
>> I'm everywhere. We have a speckled

185
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:29,279
» um No, and I think that's a great idea.
Uh Kirsten, thanks for coming like

186
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:35,279
bringing that up. Yeah. Um, and just to
kind of go off that, I think, you know,

187
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:39,920
if it's not somebody that wants it here
in town, like you said, there could be

188
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:44,160
somebody somewhere
>> that is interested in that history. Even

189
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:49,199
I mean, I don't I don't know the art
background of South Dakota well enough

190
00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:54,240
to know like if there's like a
South Dakota art society kind of

191
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:56,959
situation, but um, somebody could have
>> several galleries. Yeah.

192
00:15:55,199 --> 00:16:00,160
» Yeah. Somebody could have some kind of
insight to that, too.

193
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,600
» Washington Pavilion has been really good
about not getting back to me, but

194
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,440
telling me they would love me to donate
it.

195
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,959
» Oh, yes.
>> Yeah, that's what I'll say, too. Like, I

196
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:13,920
would love if you have to if you have to
store it somewhere. We could hang it at

197
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,279
the golf course for you and we could
hang it at the golf course with a with a

198
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:22,959
with a bracket below it that says this
is how much this is. And so, um, a local

199
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:27,680
artist used to um sell paintings that
she had displayed there. And so I mean

200
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:32,240
» that Reva would be a great
>> Reva would Yeah, Reva. Yep. And I will

201
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:35,440
send this to her. I'll CC you on the
email so that you are right involved in

202
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,279
it. So
>> yeah, she'll get back to you.

203
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,920
» Yeah, she's very good about She loves
great stories for the paper, too. She

204
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:45,759
just loves things that actually, you
know, that you don't Yeah. It's It's a

205
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:49,920
natural story. You don't have to dig it
up. You don't have to scrge for it. Yep.

206
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:55,040
» The story will tell itself.
>> And that's and that's something that's

207
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:58,560
not Journalism is never easy. So it's,
you know, having something where

208
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,160
somebody wants to tell a story is is
huge.

209
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:05,919
» Yeah.
>> So I like that. I I do I I I would love

210
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:09,600
it if somebody would buy it for Alcester
and you could display it. That would be

211
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,720
even cooler
>> and we could try to make that happen.

212
00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:15,520
» We could try to do that. So if somebody
wants to

213
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:19,120
» The possibilities are endless. But there
is a possibility there, you know. There

214
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:22,000
is a possibility there.
>> Yes.

215
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:24,720
» Thank you. Thank you so much for coming.
Well, thank you for having me.

216
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:30,439
» And if you want to stay for our
engineers meeting, he talks really fast.

217
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:38,480
» Engineers meeting at home working on
helicopters.

218
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,600
» Oh, no. This is so much different stuff.
This is sewer and pipes and all sorts of

219
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,600
fun road stuff.
>> Everybody wants to talk about

220
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:49,120
» Yeah, we It's great. Sewers. You want to
know what happens to sewer water? Yeah,

221
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:53,039
it's great. It's fun.
>> They have to be patient.

222
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:58,960
All right, Paul, you're up.
>> All righty. Well, with that intro,

223
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,799
uh, go through the engineering report
uh, with everybody. Um, I also, you can

224
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,760
probably see that we got the the TV over
here. Um, I have a little presentation,

225
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:10,320
a little update of kind of the
conceptual, uh, preliminary design for

226
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,280
the DOT tap grant. That's sidewalk going
from here out to the school. Just kind

227
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,840
of want to show you visually what we're
planning on doing. Uh, basically do um,

228
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:21,840
a little coordination with you guys,
kind of know what's all going on. and

229
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,400
then um I get with you guys and Dave to
kind of coordinate with a couple

230
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,440
property owners that uh we have you've
got already talked to but just here's

231
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,720
more the definitive answer when we're
thinking happening for all that but with

232
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,480
all that being said first I'll kind of
go through the engineering report as

233
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:39,679
mentioned uh general engineering uh
nothing to report on that one uh looking

234
00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:44,240
at the uh sewer lining project it looks
like that is actually finishing up here

235
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:47,360
I believe uh Tanny and them are um
looking at the final review of the

236
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,080
videos and all that stuff that are
planning on actually being done

237
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:54,080
substantially completely completed here
um by mid of this month here. So about a

238
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,520
month earlier than they were planning on
doing. So uh good news there. Uh there

239
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,559
were probably a couple hiccups that you
heard about there. I think there's three

240
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:05,039
lateral services um that uh ended up
having issues. One was is from a

241
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,559
property owner that was having
construction. Some of that construction

242
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:11,440
stuff went into the sewer uh service,
locked it up. So you know that was

243
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,400
technically on the the property owner.
And then two of the other ones were

244
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,520
actually on the lining service. U one of
those property owners ended up having to

245
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,200
uh get a hotel for a couple days. Is
that right? they end up staying with

246
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,000
family,
>> staying with family. Uh they are keeping

247
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,240
track some of the charges and basically
that's going to go through the

248
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:28,320
contractor through their insurance for
for damages, all that stuff on there.

249
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:33,039
But uh those uh two services have been
repaired that I know of. Um looking kind

250
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:38,000
of forward on the budget, it looks like
the uh drinking water or sorry the uh

251
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:42,080
clean water budget is for this project
is going to be under by about 14 grand

252
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:46,320
is it what it looks like on that one. So
always be good to be under budget then

253
00:19:43,679 --> 00:19:50,480
overbudget for all that.
Uh moving right along to the water tower

254
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:56,960
project. They are finally here as you
probably saw. Um so they are currently

255
00:19:52,960 --> 00:20:01,039
working on that. Um the plan is um still
here. Have they given you guys an

256
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,919
updated um schedule for that? Okay. Uh
from like the last one, I believe their

257
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:07,200
updated schedule is what beginning of
October to have everything done?

258
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:12,880
» I think the last schedule that they sent
out uh they were planning on completion

259
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:15,440
October 2nd or 3rd. Uh just going to
give you guys the information. I believe

260
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,799
it was the end of was it this week or
next week was uh um the substantial

261
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,559
completion date
>> 15th.

262
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,559
» 15th. So yeah, next week was the
substantial completion date um for that.

263
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,799
So just know that once after the 15th,
we'll be basically counting every um day

264
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,840
for liquidated damages. So if you guys
do want to assess that to the contractor

265
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,720
for, you know, them taking over what
they were contractually obligated to,

266
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,840
you guys have the right to. But just
wanted to let you guys know uh be aware

267
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,799
basically that they will probably likely
be in liquidated damages uh for all

268
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:46,960
that. Um,
moving along on that one. Uh, there is a

269
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:52,000
invoices. Oh, sorry. Excuse me. Backing
up back to CIP stuff. Uh, there is a uh

270
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:56,000
pay request uh for the contractor as
well as an engineering invoice uh for

271
00:20:53,840 --> 00:21:00,720
us. And then for the water tower, uh
looking at an invoice from us um so far.

272
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:04,240
Moving along to everybody's favorite
project, the fourth street water main

273
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:08,000
project. Um that is coming along here.
Um looks like all the utilities have uh

274
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:10,400
been installed. So, all the new
connections to the water tower and

275
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:15,120
everything now, now that the thing's
emptied, we've been um those connections

276
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:18,720
have been made. Talking with uh Lonnie,
even when this was temporarily put in,

277
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:20,960
he's reporting better flows, better
pressures throughout town. So, it is

278
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,440
doing what it's supposed to be doing
here. So, it's good to have that nice

279
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,200
big artery going through the center of
town here uh for everything. And the big

280
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:30,159
one, too, is having the extra valves
now. So, if something does happen like

281
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,120
we had before, you have better ways to
isolate what's going on. And hopefully

282
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,640
maybe only a quarter to a few blocks of
the town need to be turned off, not cold

283
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:42,640
town uh for everything. So, it's good
start for you guys on there. Um, as for

284
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:48,080
considerations on that one, we're
looking at uh engineering invoice for us

285
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:54,720
as well as pay request number three from
the contractor. Um, and then there's

286
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:57,840
also a change order number three on that
just to kind of go over to simplify what

287
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:02,159
we're talking about on that one. There
is basically a few fittings uh that we

288
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:06,640
need to switch over um on that guy. So
instead of finding some um uh 4in lines,

289
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,360
we end up finding some 8 in lines and
vice versa. They just have to flip out

290
00:22:08,159 --> 00:22:12,880
some fittings and stuff like that. So
we're just flip-flopping on some of

291
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,400
that. And also as well there's a water
service for the apartments over on uh

292
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:19,520
park that we thought were 1 in actually
one and a half inch too. So that'd be

293
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:24,080
compensation get that extra line and all
the the fittings and all that stuff for

294
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:28,960
it. So nothing crazy on that one too. Um
this uh this one change order also uh

295
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:34,159
corrects an error. We were off two cents
on our contract amount and Danner wanted

296
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,919
it corrected. So that's what you see in
red there at the top is correcting that

297
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,760
uh two cents error that goes back a
couple of change orders, but that makes

298
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:45,360
all the math math for everybody. So
hopefully make make everything easier on

299
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,840
that one. Uh to give you kind of an
update too, I did uh look at the

300
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:54,720
projections for the project. It looks
like we should be decently under our

301
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:59,840
budget. ballpark wise, we will probably
be about $100,000 under our budget for

302
00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:02,400
everything on it. So, um so yeah, we uh
that the nice part about that is

303
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:05,200
depending what we kind of end up doing
for our asphalt because we know some

304
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,840
parts are going to start breaking up a
little bit as we're doing stuff, we can

305
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,000
expand that and we can be pretty
confident that we're not going to be

306
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:16,120
over budget for some things there. So,
we got a little wiggle room on that. So,

307
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,120
should be all good on that end.

308
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:26,480
And then let's see,
moving along to uh the drainage study

309
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:30,000
too. Um I did actually reach out to the
state uh to Jim Poppin with emergency

310
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,960
management uh for that drainage study
for the town. Uh just give you guys a

311
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,720
recap, we applied for a hazard
mitigation grant um with the state plus

312
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:40,480
FEMA would ultimately give you the
money. FEMA is still taking their time

313
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,600
looking at everything that they told us
originally July, but with everything

314
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,600
going on in Washington, I assume that
just keeps getting punted along. Uh no

315
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:51,600
update as of today. Um the state hasn't
gotten an update either um in recent

316
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:56,240
times. So we're just at the mercy of
when we ever get the funding for for

317
00:23:52,960 --> 00:24:01,280
everything to want it. And then last but
not least, we're looking at that DOT uh

318
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:06,080
tap grant um that we're doing from along
Sixth Street here. And let's see here.

319
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,200
I'll go grab my stuff. I don't know if
you guys wanted to go through the

320
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,279

grab this stuff. That works for you.

All right.
>> Y

355
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:50,960
» All right.
>> I was just going to do a little recap of

356
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,760
what we are planning on doing and then
we get in more of the logistics of

357
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,840
everything. Uh what you see on the
screen is basically the general thing we

358
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:01,760
apply for is basically taking an 8 foot
wide sidewalk from here from city hall,

359
00:26:59,679 --> 00:27:06,640
take it over to Sixth Street and take
that thing all the way down to school

360
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:10,720
and potentially the football field. Um
once we applied for all this, got

361
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,520
everything together. Um the way the
budget kind of worked out, it looks like

362
00:27:12,159 --> 00:27:16,880
we have to split this project into two
projects. We're looking at construction

363
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:21,520
in 2027
and 2028 is what we're um planning on

364
00:27:19,919 --> 00:27:24,720
doing for this one here. So, I'm going
to be basically splitting this thing up,

365
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:27,279
kind of seeing where the money's hit for
everything and then we'll just figure

366
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:32,720
out which intersection we want to stop
at for all that. Um likely what we're

367
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:36,000
probably going to do is Can you guys see
my mouse? Okay. uh is likely what we'll

368
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,679
do is we'll basically make this
connection to the school and not do this

369
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,559
connection over into the football field
knowing that at some point this

370
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:46,400
connection potentially up into that
residential development might go up here

371
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,000
or back over here. I don't want to get
you guys into a situation where we have

372
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,880
to basically rip a bunch of stuff up. So
if we stop right here, the school gets

373
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:56,080
what they need. We'll do a little bit of
grading so that way future sidewalk can

374
00:27:54,559 --> 00:28:00,000
go in here and then whenever we get a
definitive of where this um intersection

375
00:27:58,399 --> 00:28:04,399
needs to go, then you can extend the
sidewalk um over to that area here. So,

376
00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:06,880
um, should hopefully save a few bucks
and also makes it so that way you guys

377
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,159
don't have to rip stuff off that you
already installed and paid money for.

378
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,159
Um,
let's see. Kind of the cross-section

379
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:17,200
view of what it's going to look like.
And so, when we're actually along Sixth

380
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,760
Street, it's all asphalt um to the
shoulder. We're basically going to plan

381
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,679
on doing is basically go over a few
inches on the asphalt, cut a nice um

382
00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:28,159
straight line on it, and then after that
do 8 foot of uh 6-in concrete on the

383
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:31,279
side. So, that way too that is the same
as like a driveway uh approach. So that

384
00:28:30,159 --> 00:28:34,559
way you guys can take equipment and all
that stuff on it. Uh two to basically

385
00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:38,000
get all the uh the snow and everything
off of it. So you have 8 foot wide

386
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,880
concrete sidewalk. They'd be about a
little bit 1ft buffer of grass so that

387
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,399
way this thing doesn't slough off right
away when drainage and everything's

388
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:49,360
going across it. And then basically try
to do some type of um existing swale

389
00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:52,799
like they have right now. And the one
thing to keep in mind, we'll get a

390
00:28:50,559 --> 00:28:55,520
little bit further um into this is how
that's going to look and play out on

391
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:58,080
some of the properties and everything.
Just want to make you guys aware of

392
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,480
what's kind of going to go on. Some of
the maintenance issues you might

393
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:05,279
currently have and what you'll continue
to have after this. Um, it's kind of the

394
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:07,360
if you choose one thing, it'll work. You
might have some maintenance issues, but

395
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,559
if you want to do the other thing
that'll have less maintenance issues,

396
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:15,039
you got to pay more money upfront on it.
So, just want to see what your guys'

397
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:20,960
thoughts are on it. So, now you guys get
to see this fancy thing that I put

398
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:23,679
together. So, we're if you're trying to
uh see where we're at, this is going to

399
00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:27,840
be city hall here. So, here's the
parking lot out front. building that

400
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:30,720
too.
>> Our city hall looks fancy.

401
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:36,720
» Do you guys want me to like make it
taller too? I can

402
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:38,640
» Yes. Center city hall
skyscrap

403
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,279
is that?
>> Yeah. As long as it has elevators. You

404
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,760
can make it tall as you want.
>> Yeah.

405
00:29:42,399 --> 00:29:47,919
» I've never thought about making this an
entire like, you know, convention center

406
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:52,000
complex. Wow.
>> Sorry.

407
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:56,720
» We can continue.
>> So, put this in the newsletter. we

408
00:29:55,679 --> 00:30:00,480
» so what you're seeing right here is
existing conditions on this and what

409
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:04,880
you're seeing in the yellow um that is
your approximate property lines right

410
00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:08,960
now um so I kind of want to show you how
close things are how things are skewed

411
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,840
and just kind of know relatively if
we're going on some other people's

412
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:16,799
property things like that um so kind of
looking at the existing conditions if we

413
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:20,080
go along
the road here you can see that we got a

414
00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:24,480
ditch section along the south I even put
in the power poles and all that along

415
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,520
here but relative Relatively, we have a
pretty wide open area. Uh the biggest

416
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,120
one, as we'll get to in a little bit,
will be this property owner here on this

417
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,080
uh on the corner of the highway and
Sixth Street. Uh there's a bunch of

418
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:38,000
bushes, everything that's going to be in
the way. Um the other kind of point to

419
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:42,320
look then is when we get into the park,
uh what I kind of have highlighted in

420
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:46,880
this area is your existing um hedge.
>> So keep in mind is we're going to take

421
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:50,720
this sidewalk, extend it out 8 ft. That
means that ditch slope is going to go

422
00:30:48,159 --> 00:30:55,279
also go out 8 ft. uh when when I bring
up the new uh version of it, basically

423
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:59,679
the side slope here is going to butt up
right against the uh um against the

424
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,960
gravel section on here. So, at some
point when you guys do do some um new

425
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,480
renovations through here, likely you're
going to have to be raising some things

426
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:10,000
up um and all that for whatever you know
goes on in the park and all that. But,

427
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:13,200
uh the other big one is how steep things
are kind of going to be on there. So,

428
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:17,360
I'll kind of point that out. And then as
we keep going along, go across Park

429
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,320
Avenue, get over to the school. Um the
things that the big things we got to

430
00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:23,440
contend with is obviously the approaches
um through here. There's a few culverts

431
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,159
that we have to deal with and then when
we finally the big one is you know

432
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,399
trying to how do we get a connection
down to the school down over into here

433
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:34,320
and the biggest thing is I have to make
everything ADA compliant which means

434
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,919
these steep slopes that you have uh
right now in the ditch sections I can't

435
00:31:36,399 --> 00:31:40,960
just put a sidewalk obviously straight
down the thing. So basically what we end

436
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,320
up getting is a sidewalk that starts
kind of over in this area, makes its way

437
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,600
all the way to this corner and goes
over. Um we'll end up having to have

438
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,559
railing on both sides and all that. And
there'll be some areas where you're

439
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:54,000
basically coming down, landing, going
down, landing on it. But thankfully we

440
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:57,120
don't have to serpentine it. Those ones,
those are the worst ones I end up having

441
00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:01,039
to design on it. So thankfully it worked
out that way. Um myself, Dave, and Eric

442
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,640
the superintendent did have a meeting
here last week to kind of go over this

443
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,840
preliminary design for everything. um
had a couple things that he wanted to

444
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:11,039
adjust on it, but overall didn't have
any issues with the the actual concept.

445
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,000
So, what I'll do here is actually turn
on the conceptual design.

446
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,279
» Question for you.
>> Yeah.

447
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,240
» Instead of going down the hill by the
school,

448
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,559
» why not use the access
>> where the driveway is?

449
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,279
» Uh like this one right here.
>> Yeah.

450
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:32,480
» So, this is also decently steep. And the
other part, too, is I need to provide

451
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:37,440
some type of pedestrian aisle somewhere.
So, we're having to add a sidewalk here,

452
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:40,399
which is a direct steepness issue right
here kind of going through here. And

453
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:44,399
then I have to then put in sidewalk
here. And there's drainage that goes

454
00:32:41,919 --> 00:32:47,440
across this area here. So, you're going
to have water constantly running across.

455
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:51,200
Probably having some icing issues on it.
So, um we kind of felt the easiest way

456
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:55,679
that we'll do this thing across here. We
can maintain some slopes and basically

457
00:32:53,279 --> 00:33:00,000
have the least amount of issues on it uh
with just um you know, with icing and

458
00:32:57,919 --> 00:33:05,120
dealing with drainage, all that stuff on
here. So, let me turn on the

459
00:33:02,399 --> 00:33:11,279
» while he's pulling that up. I did speak
to

460
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:16,000
um the owner of the storage units. Um
they they have no issues. Their only

461
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:20,080
question was they wanted to know, you
know, where they could move the snow. Um

462
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:25,200
and we've answered that question for him
already. Um and then I did see uh Mr.

463
00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:31,760
Zifel that lives on the corner of the
highway and I talked to him again on

464
00:33:27,919 --> 00:33:36,080
Friday. Um, and his response to me and
Lisa was, "I don't care what you do." He

465
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:39,279
goes, "It's all over there." He goes,
"Do what you got to do."

466
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:42,240
» Well, he asked he asked how much it was
going to cost him.

467
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,799
» Yeah, that was his only question. And
so,

468
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:49,679
» he's like, "Absolutely." He goes, "You
guys make it look nice, do it great."

469
00:33:47,679 --> 00:33:53,840
So, I have no problems with it at all.
So,

470
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:56,880
» no, good deal. Everybody's on board. Um,
so looking at the conceptual design. So

471
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,880
again, what I did is basically just
slapped on what the preliminary grading

472
00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:03,679
um is, plus the new surfacing and
everything. So you guys kind of have an

473
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:07,360
idea of what's going on. So how the
connection to city hall is going to work

474
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,960
is it'll be basically a sidewalk up
against the property line. It's going to

475
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:15,040
uh tie into the concrete right here at
the uh the edge of the uh the driveway.

476
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:19,040
And then we'll have basically an 8ft
wide sidewalk, come partially up into

477
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:22,079
this ADA parking stall, and I will have
to redo part of the sidewalk over here

478
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,359
to get all the ADA stuff and everything
updated and reworked. Um, but that's

479
00:34:23,919 --> 00:34:29,280
basically the plan to basically redo a
part of your sidewalk here in front by

480
00:34:26,879 --> 00:34:34,800
the um little library box over here and
then new sidewalk all the way down to

481
00:34:30,879 --> 00:34:38,480
the road. Oops. Oops. Wrong buttons.
Bring this uh guy up to sixth street be

482
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:42,399
redoing the intersection as well to make
all that ADA compliant. So, that's one

483
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,679
thing to keep in mind too is when you do
sidewalk, the road also has to be ADA

484
00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:48,240
compliant for things too. So, I'm
actually reworking some of the roads and

485
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,320
all that stuff to make sure that those
are um going to work as well. Um,

486
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:56,079
concrete out there. We'll redo that back
as concrete.

487
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:59,839
And right now, I'm not planning on
putting any cutouts or anything for any

488
00:34:57,839 --> 00:35:02,000
sidewalk anywhere else. You guys good
with that? I mean, at the end of the

489
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,480
day, if you guys have to redo a fillet
or something, I mean, compared to the

490
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,920
total cost of everything, it's going to
be minimal for that. And who knows when

491
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:11,920
ever you're going to do a sidewalk on
the other side sometime in the future.

492
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:17,200
Um, so yeah, basically sidewalk then
coming along here. Then it it uh will be

493
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:21,680
going to a curbside. So, that's where
we're actually going to go right up

494
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,960
against the uh the current asphalt on
here. So, the new drainage ditch is

495
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,320
basically going to be if you're walking
eastbound is going to be on your the

496
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,440
right side. There'll still be a ditch on
there. It's going to be a little

497
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,880
shallower um than what you have have
before, but the intent is still to take

498
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:37,599
water um all the way down to I believe
there's a culvert that's sitting kind of

499
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,280
down in a low spot that will take it
further to the west. Uh but the nice

500
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,560
part is as you can kind of see if this
is a property line, we're not coming

501
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:48,560
near the property line. So, um, that way
we're not great on private property. So,

502
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,720
then kind of moving along here, pretty
much the same thing. Um, here's where

503
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,760
all those trees and brushes are. Uh, for
sure we'll probably have to take a bunch

504
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,960
of bushes, all that stuff out. Um, if
you actually go out there now, I had my

505
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,920
land surveyor uh go out there and
actually put the approximate property

506
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,440
line on there so you can actually line
up and kind of see how far the actual

507
00:36:03,839 --> 00:36:08,720
property line is over. So, we'll need to
clear cut a lot of that stuff out. Um

508
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,160
there might be some of the bigger trees
we might have to remove potentially in

509
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:16,240
there just depending on how much those
root systems end up getting into um kind

510
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,200
of our um sidewalk on there. But seems
like that property owner is pretty

511
00:36:17,839 --> 00:36:22,200
receptive to everything on there.
>> Y

512
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:28,320
» as we get up to the highway itself, uh
pretty straightforward. Uh the one big

513
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,320
change I'll do is I'm going to change
the radiuses of um these intersections.

514
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,839
So that this basically that kind of
concrete they see that does the radius

515
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,680
around here, that's called a fillet. I'm
gonna increase the radius of that um to

516
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,560
25 feet. So that should make it easier
for larger vehicles and all that stuff

517
00:36:41,359 --> 00:36:46,000
like semis for instance to make the
corners and all that. And the other part

518
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,800
too is right now if you go out there the
fillets don't line up. One is

519
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,720
kittywampas compared to the other one.
Now both of them will line up straight

520
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,680
for everything on it. So we'll redo
that. We'll tie in directly to um the

521
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,720
highway. We're not planning to do
anything in the um in the road section

522
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:02,400
itself other than just tying in our
concrete and everything like that. And

523
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:05,760
then once we get over into the park,
that's where you kind of see the biggest

524
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:09,200
difference. And you kind of see see you
can kind of like here like I said we're

525
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,800
bringing the sidewalk over 8 feet and
then having to come down uh with the

526
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:18,079
slope and here I can switch back between
what was there before

527
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:22,000
as it chugs along. So you can see that
beforehand we're you know sitting way

528
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:27,960
back you know over here basically by the
property line where that ditch is. But

529
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,960
then once you add the sidewalk

530
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:33,119
now that graving is actually going past
the property line with everything. Uh,

531
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:37,760
what I'm planning on doing this is kind
of making it as steep as reasonable.

532
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:41,599
What you have there is about a 3:1
slope. That means for every foot you go

533
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:46,960
down, we're going out 3 ft horizontally.
It does make it difficult to maintain.

534
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,560
You have between a 3:1 and a 4:1 right
now. So, you can kind of do basic

535
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:54,000
maintenance on it. But, u talking with
um Dave here, Lonnie, I think you have

536
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:57,599
what goes directly straight up and down
that to mow it. So, if he kind of uses

537
00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:00,640
that same fashion, it should be okay.
But, there's not going to be take the

538
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,280
mower and then go east and west on that.
that's not going to work. You're going

539
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:07,760
to be too tipped over to to make any of
that work. So, um um don't get me wrong,

540
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,040
in the future, if you guys do want to
fill more in whenever, you know, the

541
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:14,400
park improvements go, by all means, do
that. Um but for this project, just bas

542
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:18,079
basically limit how much we're going to
get into, especially redoing the gravel

543
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,760
and all this stuff. Um that 3:1 is
basically what I can make work the best

544
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:25,200
for everybody. Uh we will end up having
to go there is a culvert that's sitting

545
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,839
right back over here. We'll have to
extend that out obviously where there's

546
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,280
that concrete. We'll extend that out
that extra 15 ft or something like that.

547
00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:36,000
Um, do you guys have any issues still
using the CMP, the um, uh, the

548
00:38:33,839 --> 00:38:40,079
corrugated metal pipe on there, or would
you rather, what I could do is keep

549
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:44,000
what's in the rightway as corrugated
metal and do the rest as a plastic pipe.

550
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:46,079
That last longer, so that way you don't
have the rusting problem, but you're

551
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:51,880
still going to have the rest of the
issue going the other way. It It doesn't

552
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,880
really matter to me.

553
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,359
» Just slap something on there and we can
we'll make it work. Okay.

554
00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:59,520
» Just as long as the water can flow
through it.

555
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,079
» Yeah. Yes. And doesn't go into people's
driveways

556
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:05,359
» or if Lonnie has a preference one way or
the other. I'll talk about I was just

557
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:08,880
going to say circle circle back with
Lonnie on that.

558
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:13,520
» Y question. How does it impact what the
plans are for the park?

559
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:19,599
» So right now for all
>> the tentative plans for the park is once

560
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:24,800
we would get to that portion that road
would end up getting brought up and

561
00:39:21,839 --> 00:39:28,320
leveled off a little bit. Um and then at
that point it would be

562
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:32,480
» Yeah. Yeah. that gravel access and then
it would get widened just a little bit

563
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:38,240
for parking. And that's kind of just a
preliminary on the master plan. That may

564
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,839
end up changing somewhat at some point.
>> I was just curious for like pool parking

565
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,160
because everybody parks into that grass
right now.

566
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:48,960
» Yeah. Once that happens, they won't be
able to pull into that grass. They'll

567
00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:54,640
have to park facing east west,
>> which they I mean they'll have to park a

568
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:58,160
little bit further down than what they
do right now, but

569
00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:01,200
» Okay.
>> Um, one thing we kind of kept in mind,

570
00:39:59,839 --> 00:40:04,960
too, is, you know, the approach the
entrance right now, uh, right off of the

571
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:09,680
highway is pretty close to the highway
intersection. I did bump it a little bit

572
00:40:07,359 --> 00:40:14,160
just to be further away uh, from the
intersection. Uh, but because this is

573
00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:18,160
six-inch concrete, my thoughts are, you
know, people are, you can run over this

574
00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:20,960
if you want, but if whenever you get a
final design of, you know, what you're

575
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:25,200
going to do in the part, you can rip out
that 20 30 foot wide section and redo it

576
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,680
with a reinforced concrete on it. And
that way you have a definitive here.

577
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,359
This is where we know we're going to put
the entrance on it. But temporarily, we

578
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:34,320
can kind of put back close to what you
have on it. And then you can redo

579
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:39,040
something, you know, later down the
road. Um, and that way too, yeah, you're

580
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:42,800
not you're not tying yourself to a
certain design now for the park. You can

581
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,119
make the park work however you need it
to at the end of the day. But there will

582
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,599
be a little bit of, you know,
reconstruct that'll end up happening,

583
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:52,920
but it's minimal. It's just, you know,
whatever the width of the approach is

584
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,920
for that you want to put in.

585
00:40:53,040 --> 00:41:00,000
And Park Avenue, same deal through
there. Um, and then this is where we

586
00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:02,480
kind of get into the and this is not a
great

587
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,520
» the vertical that you're seeing right
here is not correct on it, but basically

588
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,400
we are um
>> looks amazing.

589
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:11,920
» We're going to be tying right in at the
property line on it. Um, I guess yeah,

590
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:14,480
Dave from you know talking to this
property, do you think there's any

591
00:41:13,119 --> 00:41:17,280
issues getting easement or anything from
do some minimal grading like 5 10 ft

592
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:23,200
newer property?
>> I have not she's the one that I have not

593
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:26,960
spoken with yet. Um, I'd spoken with Dan
before he passed and he was all on board

594
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:30,880
with it, but I have not spoken I have
not had the chance to speak with

595
00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:33,920
Rebecca. I wanted to have this
>> um so I could show her more detailed of

596
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,800
what
>> Okay. Yeah, I'll get an exhibit together

597
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,640
so that way you know from property line
how far you go out. Um, if you kind of

598
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:43,839
know when you're going to talk to her, I
can have my surveyor stop out and mark

599
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:47,119
out where the property line is.
>> Hoping to do it this week.

600
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,760
» Okay. I'll see if they're stopping by. I
could just mark out a couple of property

601
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,200
lines for you so that way you know, hey,
I need to go 10 ft from this l over

602
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,760
here. Do you have any issues with that?
And that way too, we can take a look if

603
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,680
we got some trees in the way or any
bushes or stuff like that that we need

604
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,520
to
>> Shouldn't be anything on that north

605
00:41:59,119 --> 00:42:02,079
side.
>> Okay.

606
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:06,400
» Um in that space.
>> Okay. And then once we get over into the

607
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,520
school, it's basically the same thing.
We're going be redoing all the culverts

608
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:13,200
and all that. Um again, talking to
superintendent uh with the school, the

609
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:16,079
new ditch section is actually the bottom
of the ditch is going to be right at the

610
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:20,240
property line. So that's where all this
water from the culverts from the road

611
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:23,440
all that is going to be now going on the
property line will be the low spot. So

612
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:27,200
this will drain to here this will drain
to here. Talking to the school they are

613
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,079
fine uh with that happening. There'll
probably be some internal conversations

614
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,839
with Dave too if they want to go for
full easements or some type of um

615
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:37,040
arrangement of you know who's
maintaining what and all that. Just

616
00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:40,000
knowing that hey this water was in the
rightway now it's getting pushed

617
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:43,760
partially onto the property. There might
be some agreement or handshake deal that

618
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:49,119
needs to happen on there. I'm going to
go to the schoolboard meeting with this

619
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:54,480
next week and present it to the school
board, come back with any questions that

620
00:42:52,000 --> 00:43:01,200
they may have, concerns, and then I'll
get those back with Paul so we can

621
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:06,800
fine-tune any things that they prefer.
Um and then once we would have an

622
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:10,720
agreement that both parties agree on,
we'll get something formally done up and

623
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,760
we're heading
and then kind of going the connection to

624
00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:16,800
the school. Um as I kind of mentioned
before, there's that 8ft wide sidewalk

625
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:20,079
and eventually is going to connect into
the the football field and all that. Uh

626
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:23,839
what I'll plan on doing on this project
is we'll stop it once we get to this

627
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:28,560
connection to the school, but still
grade out to basically the end of the

628
00:43:26,319 --> 00:43:31,520
school here where the building is. grade
this thing out. So that way in the

629
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,960
future whenever this thing needs to get
extended, the grades, all the grass is

630
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,160
already there. You basically just rip
off the top soil, put your concrete and

631
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:41,280
your base course down and there you go.
So that way you don't have to do a bunch

632
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,200
of screwing around too. That's going to
affect the uh right around the school

633
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:48,240
area and everything. So get that done uh
right away. And so what you see here

634
00:43:47,599 --> 00:43:50,240
» I have a question.
>> Yeah.

635
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,920
» So at the very very end where it
connects to the school

636
00:43:51,599 --> 00:43:55,280
» Yes.
>> you'll have to make that ADA compliant.

637
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:59,359
There's like a grate there right now
that I'm assuming is where it's going to

638
00:43:57,119 --> 00:44:02,000
like a gate at the end.
>> We'll get to that just here in a second.

639
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:07,599
» Sorry.
>> Sound good. So, um, so again, because of

640
00:44:05,359 --> 00:44:11,680
the steepness of this, um, back slope on
here, we have to go off this weird

641
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:15,520
little skew here. So, because of how
steep everything is and current ADA

642
00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:19,440
regulations, for every thing's 2 and 1/2
ft drop, I need to put a landing spot

643
00:44:17,359 --> 00:44:23,440
and then 2 and 1/2 ft landing spot. So,
you'll actually see this thing come down

644
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:26,000
flat, come down flat um, on it. and
we'll end up having to put railings on

645
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,079
this too. And that at the end of the day
too, that's just going to help whoever

646
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,520
is going down there, especially if they
have mobility issues or anything like

647
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:36,640
that. So, you see some railing going
along the sides and basically the tie-in

648
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:42,240
point we're looking at. Actually, let me
just pull up

649
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:45,240
our own Google Earth Street view for you
guys.

650
00:45:01,839 --> 00:45:07,599
back there.
There we go. So, this side lock is going

651
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:11,200
to come along where my cursor is at a
diagonal. And then once we tie in over

652
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,560
here where this curb and gutter is, I'll
be redoing basically the curb and gutter

653
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:18,000
from this section to this light pole
just to get ADA and all that stuff to

654
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:21,760
work out. but minimal amount of curb
gutter that we'll end up redoing. And

655
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:25,040
then eventually this thing, the
sidewalk's going to sit behind these

656
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,440
power poles, these light poles over
here. Talking with the superintendent,

657
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,000
we'll probably end up putting some type
of like decorative rock or something

658
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:33,359
like out here just cuz it's going to be
a little island of grass that's never

659
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:37,200
going to get maintained. Um,
additionally too, for um, kind of the

660
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:40,960
steepness that we have um, through here,
I'm going to be reaching out to Milborne

661
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:44,240
seeds and looking at potentially um,
getting low maintenance kind of native

662
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:47,680
grasses planted in there instead of turf
grasses um, just because of the kind of

663
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,720
the steepness on there trying to
basically give them an ability where

664
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:54,400
they don't necessarily have to mow it
all the time for it. And the nice part

665
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,960
is it's also a potential learning uh,
opportunity too for the students and all

666
00:45:55,839 --> 00:45:59,359
that. So we put a little plaque and I
know Milbourne would probably be on

667
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:03,040
board with you know writing something up
and putting on there too. Here's some of

668
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:06,720
the native grasses and all that. So,
>> so the way the sidewalk goes, you know,

669
00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:10,800
down the hill and stuff,
>> there'll be drainage underneath the

670
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:13,520
sidewalk mean since there's a culvert
right there.

671
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:17,440
» Yep. So, right. Yeah. Right now,
>> go back to the other side.

672
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:21,680
» This water right now goes over here,
goes overland, and then eventually makes

673
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:25,440
it over to
this guy right here

674
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:29,359
is what this ends up making to there's a
curb cut here. This water comes across

675
00:46:27,599 --> 00:46:33,119
here and eventually gets into the storm
service system here. This sidewalk's

676
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:39,079
going to kind of come out and go this
area over here. There is what's called a

677
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:39,079
sidewalk bridge. And

678
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:47,000
see if I can get a decent angle on of
course Bing. Nobody uses Bing.

679
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:58,400
Uh basically what we're going to do is
build the sidewalk up and it'll be uh an

680
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:02,319
opening down below for a section that
water can go underneath of everything.

681
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:05,520
So what it'll look like because
otherwise the alternative is you dip the

682
00:47:04,079 --> 00:47:08,000
sidewalk low and then you're constantly
having water go across. You're going to

683
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:12,400
have dirt, you're going to have icing
issues, things like that. Um but if we

684
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,520
go sidewalk bridge, yes, it's a little
bit more expensive, but it's going to be

685
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,880
more usable for everybody at the end of
the day.

686
00:47:16,319 --> 00:47:23,119
» And kids love bridges.
My bridge is that tall.

687
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:26,720
» They don't care. They don't care either.
They love if it's a if it's anything

688
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:31,440
unique. They're like, I want to go over
the bridge.

689
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:36,000
» My kids will always choose the bridge.
>> Let's see here if I can see decent image

690
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:40,319
of one I did in the past. You can kind
of see it right here. So, imagine the

691
00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:43,440
sidewalk up here. This channel wouldn't
be here because it would be right at the

692
00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:46,400
the curb and gutter. Uh but yeah, you're
lifted up a few inches so that way water

693
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,800
can go underneath. But if you do have a
big rainstorm and water does get too

694
00:47:47,839 --> 00:47:52,880
high, then it'll just dump over the
sidewalk obviously and go across. But

695
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:56,480
they do make um things that we can put
in place here to um basically make it

696
00:47:54,800 --> 00:48:01,839
easier for everybody to to get across
and not worry too much about the the

697
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:05,280
drainage going through that area. Um and
we'll likely probably have to do

698
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:08,960
something similar to this area here. Um
it looks like this water that kind of

699
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:13,640
hits this corner goes through where this
curve opening was. Let's see. Do I have

700
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:22,160
Looks like some water cuts across here
and then comes back around um this way.

701
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,640
So, I'll probably have another sidewalk
bridge that probably are sitting over

702
00:48:23,359 --> 00:48:28,480
there again just to take some of that
water um keep it let it go underneath

703
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:32,079
and not have an icing issue for somebody
that's walking in it during the winter

704
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:35,839
time.
So, that in itself is pretty much what

705
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:40,079
we're planning on doing. Um I know does
anybody have any big thoughts on, you

706
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:43,280
know, if we should extend the sidewalk
anymore? Are you guys kind of good with

707
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:46,880
just kind of stopping it here? I'll do,
like I said, I'll get the grading and

708
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:50,960
all that stuff taken care of. Um, or any
other major issues or things we should

709
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:56,000
think we should coordinate.
>> You should just make it all bridges.

710
00:48:54,400 --> 00:49:00,559
» Uh, no. But Dave, the only thing that
I'm thinking because Paige brought it up

711
00:48:57,599 --> 00:49:05,200
at the library board meeting is the
community really wants ADA accessible on

712
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:09,200
that side because there is no ADA
accessible to access the library. and

713
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:12,800
the school has been very hesitant to
change anything, but maybe this would be

714
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:15,760
their opportunity since we are bringing
it all the way down to that front

715
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:20,160
entrance
>> that there could be an ADA

716
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:23,440
» like right at the school entrance
>> like at the library entrance.

717
00:49:21,839 --> 00:49:27,440
» Yes, because that isn't one they have to
go down to like the

718
00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:30,640
» events activities the activities one
>> and so there's a step

719
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,480
» at this door here.
>> Yeah.

720
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,960
» Yeah. So I don't know what that could
look like at the library

721
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:38,559
» cuz they have drains on both sides of
that door Paul. Yeah.

722
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,319
» So that drain that's over there to the
left is there's another one on the

723
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,960
right.
>> Not that it has to be our

724
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:46,160
responsibility. I just know that Paige
has brought it up and the community

725
00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:49,119
members like they asked like we did that
survey not that long ago and they said

726
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:52,640
one thing they'd like is an EV
accessible.

727
00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:55,920
» Um but it's not technically our property
because it's a school property and

728
00:49:54,079 --> 00:50:01,520
they've been very hesitant to add it. So
I don't know if there is or if there

729
00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:05,200
will be like a spot that they can get up
at that point or

730
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:07,359
» so once yeah somebody comes up here is
there any other ramps or anything going

731
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:13,520
into the building?
>> Not until you go farther to the the east

732
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:16,400
» the activity entrance the activity.
>> So are these doors um accessible at all?

733
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:20,960
Are there access?
>> They are accessible doors but the actual

734
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:25,520
there's the only place that there's that
step up is at the middle entrance.

735
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,920
» Okay. where you see that
>> that one and then there's one in front

736
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,000
of the elementary too.
>> Okay.

737
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:32,480
» Yeah. This I mean this is a good start
for like hey I mean at the end of the

738
00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:35,920
day redoing a little bit of concrete and
everything it's doable for them. It's

739
00:50:34,559 --> 00:50:39,760
just obviously it cost money for it but
I mean this will get you 95% of the way

740
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:42,400
there and
>> just something to bring up if you're

741
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:47,040
going to be talking to them. Yeah, I can
I can bring it up and you know we could

742
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:51,440
do it as a cutout while they're doing
that work if they wanted the same

743
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:54,880
» because Kendra if you put right there
like in that corner right where that

744
00:50:53,119 --> 00:50:58,319
little blue line goes
>> if you put that and then made those the

745
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:02,480
handicap spots.
>> I mean that's all up to the school. I'm

746
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,000
just saying but would that be wants that
>> would be that would be awesome though,

747
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,960
right?
>> It might be a little bit clo I don't

748
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,280
know if how much closer.
>> Is there not handicap spots at all?

749
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:15,280
» No.
>> No. Well, the only handicap spots are up

750
00:51:12,079 --> 00:51:17,359
on the bewest edge of the parking.
>> Yeah,

751
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:24,720
» it's going to be an offline
conversation, but I have some questions.

752
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:27,599
» But you want to go to schoolboard, too?
>> I mean, you could just do this entire

753
00:51:26,079 --> 00:51:31,440
presentation.
>> I just think if there would be something

754
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:35,520
like feasible that you could do right
there at that connection, then those

755
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:38,160
spots potentially could be that. But
again, I'm not trying to push for that.

756
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:42,559
I just think it would be a good
opportunity while we're doing this work

757
00:51:40,319 --> 00:51:47,440
to potentially add it and
>> it'd be good for very and then the

758
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:50,400
elderly community members that access
the library as well.

759
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:54,400
» And if we're going to get any big rain,
I will try to video all what happens

760
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,720
when it rains in this parking lot
because that's another huge issue.

761
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,400
» There's a whole bunch of water build up
here and also like almost get into the

762
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,480
building.
>> Um every you can't even get into the

763
00:52:00,319 --> 00:52:06,720
building cuz it just is a pool.
>> Yep. So yeah, if and that's just

764
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:10,559
something like if we're going to if
we're working together on this anyway,

765
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:15,040
maybe we solve all the problems.
>> Yeah. And that'll be something that will

766
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,559
» that'll be something that comes up when
we finally get that drainage um study

767
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:22,160
done too is we can look at how much
water is actually coming down there and

768
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,880
then ultimately like here this is how
big of a pipe you guys need because

769
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:28,160
you're putting it in a big hole. You
need a big enough pipe to take that out.

770
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:31,680
» Well, here's what it should be upsized
to. And then if there's some creative

771
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:35,680
ways to try to get it out, I mean that's
the the biggest problem.

772
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:39,280
» I just think it sits on a dip and
there's

773
00:52:36,319 --> 00:52:40,960
» Yeah. But um but yeah, they'd be the
next step.

774
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:44,079
» They didn't ask you first. That's what
it was.

775
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:48,240
» I sold all their issues.
>> What the heck?

776
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:51,440
» Just include that in your question. I
think they

777
00:52:49,839 --> 00:52:56,280
» What time is it school board meeting?
>> It is at 7 o'clock.

778
00:52:56,319 --> 00:53:02,480
» Okay. cuz I'm going to be in Parker for
their council meeting. So, um

779
00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:07,760
» if I can get out of there soon, I could
maybe teams in or they have on um public

780
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,440
input right away.
>> Okay.

781
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:13,520
» So, um
>> I'll take it.

782
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,400
» Yeah, I'll try to tune in as soon as I
can. But yeah, that is kind of

783
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,520
» that's from my library board
perspective.

784
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,079
» So, that is the general plan for
everything that we have right now. I'm

785
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:26,160
working on basically getting the plans
and getting a initial submittal over the

786
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:30,559
DOT here in the next couple weeks and
then uh working with Logan on schedule

787
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:34,480
for them to review, get back to us,
finalize everything out and then get

788
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:39,680
that first phase um bid out here so we
can construct uh this next year and then

789
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:42,880
also get with Dave 2 for budgetary uh to
see kind of where we need to cut the

790
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:47,359
line for everything on it, go from
there.

791
00:53:45,599 --> 00:53:51,280
Any questions or
>> No, but thank you for the PowerPoint

792
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:53,680
instead of just the
>> pictures.

793
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:58,400
» That was fun.
>> School would be nicer being wire, too,

794
00:53:54,960 --> 00:54:04,000
cuz that's a paint right now.
>> It's sharp and everybody always cuts it.

795
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:07,359
» Make all the improvements,
>> right? For sure.

796
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:11,280
» Hi, we have issues.
>> Hey, road safety is important.

797
00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:15,680
» It is.
>> I have so many ideas for that parking

798
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:19,040
lot. I like it. It looks It looks really
awesome.

799
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:22,960
» Um do note too um talking with the DOT,
it looks like uh just because you know

800
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:26,000
you did do this CAP grant, by all means
once you're done with this one, don't

801
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:29,200
think you have to do their you know 5
years down the road do another TAP

802
00:54:27,599 --> 00:54:33,680
grant. Um like that's when you can do a
CAP grant. You can apply for next one

803
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:36,720
next year if you really wanted to.
Um

804
00:54:35,359 --> 00:54:40,480
but yeah, the DOT does have some you
know funding on it. So, if there are

805
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:43,119
some sidewalk projects or things like
that, but that's

806
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:46,880
» I think Dave's like, I'd rather do a tap
dance grant.

807
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:50,400
» Um, the one that might be easier to use,
especially on Dave's end, would be

808
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:55,119
community access um on it. That is a
much easier deal to work with. You don't

809
00:54:53,359 --> 00:54:59,839
have to do DOT plans and everything.
Basically, any engineer can use their

810
00:54:57,119 --> 00:55:04,400
standard set of plans and it's basically
just a uh they actually upfront you. I

811
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:07,520
think it's like 60% of the money uh when
you're ready to bid for everything like

812
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:11,760
that. So, it makes things pretty easy on
that. Um, but yeah, the DOT does have,

813
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:16,000
you know, some options for you guys
here. But, um, yeah, other than that,

814
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:26,079
that's all I got.
>> Thanks. Thanks, Paul. Appreciate it.

815
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:30,240
» All right. Um, item number 10, reviewing
our

816
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:36,240
proposal for non-alcoholic beverage
contracts.

817
00:55:31,839 --> 00:55:40,400
So, I did put out um to both um drink
beverage providers from Pepsi and Coke

818
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:44,880
um to be here in case you guys have
questions over what they have submitted.

819
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:49,760
Um
and looks like neither one of them are

820
00:55:46,880 --> 00:56:01,319
here. I did also send both of these to
Sam. Um he did send back some revisions

821
00:55:55,359 --> 00:56:01,319
for the one through Coke. Um

822
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:13,000
couple things really that um for you
guys to take note is

823
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,000
um

824
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:22,640
the
Pepsi 5year would be we're the one that

825
00:56:19,359 --> 00:56:28,160
we're finishing up with Coke is a 2000
case

826
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:33,599
minimum. Um, and that's what theirs is
at. COPE did actually change theirs for

827
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:41,680
the coming uh for their proposal down
from 2000 to 1,955.

828
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:49,880
Um, and then on this page of
the Pepsi one and then on the

829
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:49,880
third or fourth

830
00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:53,559
um

831
00:56:53,920 --> 00:57:01,079
Yeah. at the bottom of
the where there's

832
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:14,160
uh under number six on the coke one
under consideration

833
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:20,280
um that'll walk through the um
I guess the the sponsorship fees

834
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,280
Um,

835
00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:31,480
for the two of them,

836
00:57:37,839 --> 00:57:46,079
I did speak with Carrie. Um, she did not
have a preference one way or the other.

837
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:49,760
um
she doesn't have any issues with Coke,

838
00:57:47,839 --> 00:57:53,040
but
kind of left it in your hands for your

839
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:59,359
decision.
>> What do the sponsorship fees cover?

840
00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:06,640
» Uh that is put towards the the general
budget of the clubhouse. Um there

841
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:12,319
so the like the Pepsi they have it'll be
a certain dollar amount of sponsorship

842
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:18,000
fee that they just give us toward that.
it's, you know, it's just kind of

843
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:22,799
included in that general whatever um in
that budget. Um

844
00:58:21,119 --> 00:58:27,200
and then that, you know, there's so much
included as like branded merchandise

845
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:31,839
that we could give out during, you know,
events, whether it be a golf tournament

846
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:40,000
or or some sort of event in the event
center. Um and then the, you know, the

847
00:58:35,119 --> 00:58:47,599
rebate off of our purchases as well.
Um but the actual like for

848
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:53,119
Coke for the the 2500 um and then the
with Pepsi the 600 the annual

849
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:57,599
sponsorship it doesn't it's to be used
you know kind of however within our

850
00:58:55,040 --> 00:59:02,799
budget. So both of them what it is is
it'd be you know the contract would

851
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:08,960
start October one of this year we would
get you know partial for the end of this

852
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:14,400
year at the beginning of 27 and then it
would be the full amount at the end of

853
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:18,240
27 or the beginning of 28 for the year
prior with all the rebates for

854
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:34,559
to move into executive session to
discuss this further.

855
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:39,240
I'll make a motion to enter into
executive session pursuant to SDCL1-25-2

856
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:48,480

And you'll reach out to them also.

01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:46,480
» I will reach out to them and I will

wording of the contract, I will get with

>> As a courtesy, I would also email the

870
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:56,640
Pepsi rep and just say we decided to go.
Yeah.

871

» Make a motion.
>> Make no motion on number E.

» All right. Um, can I get a second on

» Second.
>> Okay. All in favor?

» I
>> opposed. Motion carried.

885

So, no motion is carried. All right,
Dave,

886
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:09,200
it's your turn.
>> Okay. Um,

887
01:02:07,359 --> 01:02:13,680
did you guys all have a chance to look
through

888
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:17,359
the proposed 2027
budget?

889
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:24,880
» Yes. I will start off by asking if there
are any questions on what was sent to

890
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:30,599
you after um met with all the department
heads, sat down with budget committee um

891
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:43,599
a lot of numbers.
>> Um yes. Um I guess I would start any

892
01:02:40,799 --> 01:02:51,119
questions on the revenue side. Um the
one thing I will point out is for uh

893
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:56,799
property taxes um the
CPI of 2.5% from the that we got from

894
01:02:53,920 --> 01:03:01,599
the county and then the uh growth fac uh
is 0.6.

895
01:02:58,799 --> 01:03:07,079
So property tax uh revenue will be
relatively flat. There's very little

896
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:07,079
change from year-over-year.

897
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:21,039
Any other questions on the revenue side?
Oh, no. The only question um question,

898
01:03:15,119 --> 01:03:25,119
can you send me the schedule fee or the
wages?

899
01:03:21,839 --> 01:03:28,319
» Wages and the
um fee.

900
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:30,880
I can't think
>> the schedule of fees.

901
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:38,160
» Yeah, schedule fees.
>> Sorry, my brain's not

902
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:42,359
» But it doesn't have to with this.
I asked you a question already.

903
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:53,319
All right.
>> Anybody else have any questions about

904
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,319
the rabbit code?

905
01:03:55,520 --> 01:04:00,599
» All right. Then looking at expenses

906
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:09,119
» questions on um
it's broken out by department for you

907
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:13,440
line items. Um,
>> have money in her

908
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:16,880
equipment fund. You really want to push
it forward.

909
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:21,359
» Questions at all on
any of those.

910
01:04:18,799 --> 01:04:25,359
» Oh, I was again not super pertinent to
this. When are you moving the library to

911
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:31,359
the general fund under that?
>> After the first of the year. So, um,

912
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:36,000
yeah. So, if you look at, um, it'd be
page

913
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:40,240
six. Is that going to then when our
auditor goes through fix the issue that

914
01:04:38,079 --> 01:04:43,760
she has when you have when we input
things to take it out?

915
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:47,440
» So has that differential amount?
>> Yeah, there we'll have to address that

916
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:51,280
once I get the final audit report and
all that stuff um with their

917
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:56,319
recommendations. So, one of the
recommendations from this year's audit

918
01:04:53,839 --> 01:05:00,880
um that came out is because the library
is funded by the general fund, but up

919
01:04:59,359 --> 01:05:07,119
until
up until now, it's always been listed

920
01:05:02,799 --> 01:05:12,240
separately as 98 fund, um they wanted to
see that moved actually officially into

921
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:16,960
the general fund. It's not going to
change any way any of that stuff has

922
01:05:14,559 --> 01:05:22,799
been paid. It's just going to be
included for budgetary purposes. um

923
01:05:20,319 --> 01:05:27,839
under the general fund with uh revenues
and expenses. It was always categorized

924
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:34,000
in
its own fund, but it's actually in

925
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:39,839
reality it's funded by the general
funds.

926
01:05:35,839 --> 01:05:45,400
Um so they wanted to see that changed.
That's the big change on the ex on the

927
01:05:41,599 --> 01:05:45,400
revenue and expense side.

928
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:59,280
The other thing I'll point out on
expenses is under water and sewer, the

929
01:05:55,599 --> 01:06:03,280
um loans for this year's projects
because the substantial completion and

930
01:06:01,039 --> 01:06:08,400
the project will be completed this year.
They will both go into

931
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:13,039
um repayment.
Um so the new water loan will go into

932
01:06:10,079 --> 01:06:19,280
repayment starting next year. Um if you
look under water the

933
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:27,520
page six
um I reached out to the state and to the

934
01:06:24,079 --> 01:06:33,359
um the loan folks and they were able to
give me the high estimate of the total

935
01:06:31,839 --> 01:06:38,480
amount that we will end up paying for
the loan in 2027 of 50,800 but they

936
01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:43,039
could not break out exactly what the
principal and what the interest would be

937
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:47,359
but that would be the maximum amount.
It'll just fluctuate a little bit based

938
01:06:44,799 --> 01:06:52,720
on our final draw downs of the loan, but
that would be the absolute highest that

939
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:55,880
our total payments for 2027 would be on
that loan.

940
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:11,839
» Then in the sewer, the SRF,
>> do we have a fee schedule for that? I

941
01:07:09,119 --> 01:07:16,960
have not heard back for
the uh so the loan three yet.

942
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:25,359
» I have I've reached out I just have not
gotten the figures back from them. Um

943
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:28,000
but I'm still anticipating those at some
point.

944
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:31,680
» So then do because this is only for one
and two.

945
01:07:29,599 --> 01:07:38,079
» Yep. And so three would have to be added
in once I would get those and that was

946
01:07:35,599 --> 01:07:41,280
it was a different department. I heard
back from the the drinking water folks,

947
01:07:39,839 --> 01:07:42,960
but I have not heard back from the clean
water.

948
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:46,200
» I just didn't know how much it was going
to take

949
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:52,960
» from that budget.
>> Yeah, that I don't know. Um

950
01:07:49,359 --> 01:07:58,319
» probably 25 to 30, I would say.
>> And I Yeah, it's total guess. It's It's

951
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:00,880
not It depends on what the final draw
down with the sewer is going to be. And

952
01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:05,280
that one's going to be a little bit
closer than the drinking water or the,

953
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:09,720
you know, for the water projects. Yeah.
>> Um so

954
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:28,000
I still have my opinions about the
equipment purchases for the sewer, but

955
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:34,719
if nobody else has an issue with it,
I'll keep them. And depending on that

956
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:38,640
other sewer loan those that's you know
that's where those

957
01:08:36,319 --> 01:08:41,640
» would have to to come from would be from
there

958
01:08:42,719 --> 01:08:46,000
» I mean I think one is well aware of how
his budget works.

959
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:49,560
» Yeah.
>> Right.

960
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,560
» Yeah.

961
01:08:49,759 --> 01:08:53,960
I will give him credit for credit.

962
01:08:54,719 --> 01:09:01,960
» I have no other questions.
>> And then um

963
01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:12,640
» so we were working with Carrie. We were
able to get some capital equipment

964
01:09:09,759 --> 01:09:17,040
purchases budgeted for the clubhouse
next year. Um, initially we had we had

965
01:09:15,440 --> 01:09:20,319
included
there was the possibility we were going

966
01:09:18,159 --> 01:09:25,040
to have to replace both friers. Now it
sounds like we might not need to. Um,

967
01:09:23,199 --> 01:09:31,359
sounds like those are working much
better at this point right now. Um, but

968
01:09:28,239 --> 01:09:35,359
we've left that in just in case. And
then there's also some itemized in the

969
01:09:33,839 --> 01:09:40,159
second penny for the clubhouse as well
for some equipment that's, you know,

970
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:45,199
it's five plus years old, close to six,
starting to wear out. whatever happened

971
01:09:41,839 --> 01:09:48,319
with the uh grease filter machine
>> that's in there.

972
01:09:46,159 --> 01:09:52,400
» That's included for next year. Um
because they it had like a 90day limited

973
01:09:50,799 --> 01:09:57,280
return warranty.
>> The extended warranty also is only like

974
01:09:55,040 --> 01:10:01,280
» a year up to up to a year. Um
>> it was like a really short time. So,

975
01:09:58,719 --> 01:10:06,560
when I was getting numbers on that for
carry, it was basically looking at

976
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:11,120
similar products price-wise to what we
have out there

977
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:14,480
» with the max warranty
>> just because it gets used and stuff so

978
01:10:13,679 --> 01:10:18,679
much.
>> So, um

979
01:10:19,679 --> 01:10:26,719
questions.
The one thing revenue-wise that will

980
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:32,719
change is going to be the revolving loan
fund. Um the food pantry building down

981
01:10:30,239 --> 01:10:38,719
on this corner of First and Dakota that
did get sold and that they closed on

982
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:44,560
that this past Saturday. So that loan
will be getting paid off here in the

983
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:49,040
near future from um the Elsister Health
Services Foundation.

984
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:55,480
Um so that will change the projected
revenue for that fund, but it only

985
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:55,480
affects that fund. So

986
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:04,000
It will relocate. I'm just not sure
where.

987
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:07,199
» I have not been told where yet.
>> As far as I know, we'll relocate. I'll

988
01:11:06,239 --> 01:11:12,199
put it that way.
>> No.

989
01:11:09,199 --> 01:11:12,199
» Right.

990
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:19,440
» All right.
>> Questions on the line items at all

991
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:26,640
from anybody. Okay.
>> Do you understand this? cuz then you can

992
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:32,679
» Hey, I know what numbers are and that is
an achievement in and of itself to ask

993
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,679
my high school math teacher.

994
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:42,600
» So then the last thing will be um
questions on the appropriation

995
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,600
ordinance.

996
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:50,800
As it stands there, it's it's balanced.
It's actually a projected revenue a

997
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,280
little bit higher than projected
expenses.

998
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,960
So
>> that's usually the goal.

999
01:11:54,480 --> 01:11:59,040
» That's good.
>> Fingers crossed.

1000
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:03,520
» And that's general fund and all funds.
So

1001
01:12:00,239 --> 01:12:07,840
» fiscally responsible like it.
>> I'll make a motion to approve the first

1002
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:11,520
reading of the 2027 appropriations
ordinance.

1003
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:15,360
» Oh, I'm going to take Nick.
>> Nick gets it. Big boy.

1004
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:18,719
» Any further discussion? That's
>> awkward. Sorry.

1005
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:23,600
» All in favor?
>> I

1006
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:26,239
» opposed. Motion carried.
>> August warrants.

1007
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:29,239
» I make a motion to approve August
warrants.

1008
01:12:29,679 --> 01:12:36,400
» Second half.
>> Second.

1009
01:12:34,159 --> 01:12:41,360
» Any further discussion on those? We
haven't had anybody any questions or

1010
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:47,040
anything like that for Dave.
>> Yeah. Dave, will you explain these all

1011
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:52,000
in detail, please, real quick? Sure
can if you really want me to.

1012
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:59,560
» Story time.
>> All right. All in favor?

1013
01:12:54,719 --> 01:12:59,560
» Opposed? Motion carried.

1014
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,440
» Any
>> I have no questions on the financial

1015
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,280
report.
>> I do want to point a couple of things

1016
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:12,480
out on there.
>> Oh, yay. So

1017
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:16,480
there has been some delay with our
reimbursement for um

1018
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:24,400
» Christiey's not here still is she?
>> No. Um for for the for the w so for the

1019
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:29,600
July August um reimbursements for
invoices, pay applications. Um there

1020
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:34,880
were some delays because of some
paperwork that got messed up on the

1021
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:40,320
SECOG side. So, we have not gotten
reimbursement

1022
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:45,120
up until since June. So, that's why it's
looking so far in the negative because

1023
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:49,440
we've got
up until what not including what you

1024
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:55,199
approved tonight
like around $200,000 from both funds

1025
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:58,400
that has not that has been paid but has
not been approved or has not been

1026
01:13:56,719 --> 01:14:02,480
reimbursed. I did reach out to the
state. We did get one reimbursement that

1027
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:10,880
was not included on this um that came in
late Friday um that's in the bank now um

1028
01:14:06,719 --> 01:14:15,840
for the water side. Um the sewer one is
still um I heard back from Bailey at the

1029
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:19,360
state and that one is still pending.
They're still processing that. Um but

1030
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:24,679
that's
>> has to both.

1031
01:14:21,679 --> 01:14:24,679
» So

1032
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:31,679
» um otherwise community center it's you
know we're still showing a loss but it's

1033
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:37,199
actually stayed relatively steady. Um
and it did show a positive balance or a

1034
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:41,520
positive for the month of August which
um so that was good news.

1035
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:45,360
» So
wasn't much but it was it was

1036
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:49,440
» it was in the it was in the positive for
the month of August. So Whatever we did

1037
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:55,360
in August, we'll just do that for the
next 12 months by

1038
01:14:51,920 --> 01:15:02,480
» football games like all year round.
>> So, any questions on that at all? And

1039
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:10,080
then behind that is line items uh
revenue summary and then um expenditures

1040
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:15,120
um just kind of a highlight of the
departments and then behind that um by

1041
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:19,360
line item.
So,

1042
01:15:17,440 --> 01:15:25,920
No questions.
>> Got nothing.

1043
01:15:22,159 --> 01:15:29,840
» All right. Um item D. Make a motion to
approve the proposed records destruction

1044
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:33,360
list.
>> Second.

1045
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:39,040
» Thank you both. Any further discussion?
All in favor?

1046
01:15:34,719 --> 01:15:44,159
» I opposed. Motion carried.
>> All right. Item E. I'm not going to go

1047
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:53,040
too in depth on this yet just because
it's still relatively new and I'm still

1048
01:15:47,440 --> 01:16:02,880
learning on it. But in the 2026
uh session out in Pier um they passed a

1049
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:08,320
new law uh instituting or allowing
municipalities to institute what's

1050
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:16,480
called a capital improvement board.
um in your uh packets is a summary of

1051
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:21,600
what the imple implementation process of
that board would look like and some just

1052
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:26,000
kind of a general guide. So if council
would so choose in the future to

1053
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:31,679
establish a capital improvement board,
it would consist of five members only

1054
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:35,600
one being from the municipality
uh appointed by the mayor and approved

1055
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:42,320
by the the council or the governing
body. Um, and then four residents of the

1056
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:49,440
municipality and they would each serve a
term of 3 years starting January 1 or

1057
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:54,880
July 1, whichever occurs first. Um,
basically what this would be is if the

1058
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:56,960
community as a whole would see, let's
just take the park for example, because

1059
01:16:56,159 --> 01:17:02,000
we're already working on the
revitalization of the park. So the

1060
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:05,840
capital improvement board would have the
opportunity to say you know we believe

1061
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:13,199
that this project is something that we
should focus on and it allows them to

1062
01:17:10,159 --> 01:17:17,280
institute a
temporary

1063
01:17:14,719 --> 01:17:26,159
um basic it's basically a third penny
tax is basically what it amounts to. Um

1064
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:31,840
and then that entire plan would be then
presented to the public for vote public

1065
01:17:28,159 --> 01:17:36,480
vote. Um if it is passed by the public
for that vote that tax would then be

1066
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:39,840
implemented up to the point of where
that so it would have a dollar cut off.

1067
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:45,440
you would say, you know, it's we're
going to raise up to $2 million. Once

1068
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:51,600
that is done or the project is
completed, that third penny tax, for

1069
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:56,480
lack of a better term, would sunset. It
would go away. So once that project is

1070
01:17:54,480 --> 01:18:02,320
completed and that fir and that project
is done and that tax is retired, you

1071
01:17:59,679 --> 01:18:08,000
cannot institute a new one for a period
of 24 months. Um you have to give it

1072
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:11,760
that kind of cooling off planning
period. So

1073
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:17,040
» you can't just start it up over
>> correct. Yep. Um

1074
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:23,679
if a project would go to the public and
it would have to pass with a 60%

1075
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:30,320
majority of voters. Um and funds would
have their own capital outlay fund. Um

1076
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:34,400
yep 24 months. So, um, I did have a
resident that had heard about this and

1077
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:41,120
they'd had some conversations in the
community. Um, and he had brought this

1078
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:46,480
up to me about 6, seven weeks ago. There
was still a lot of unknowns with it. I'm

1079
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:51,199
still not intimately familiar with it. I
have not yet heard of a community that

1080
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:55,360
has been the first one to jump on the
bandwagon for this. There might be some

1081
01:18:52,880 --> 01:19:00,800
that are working on it. Um, I think at
the very least I think it would be a

1082
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:07,120
good idea for the council to consider at
least forming a capital improvement

1083
01:19:03,199 --> 01:19:11,440
board to then look at is there something
that we think that the community as a

1084
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:20,400
whole or 60% or more of the community as
a whole would support this tax. Um, and

1085
01:19:17,679 --> 01:19:26,239
then that board could then dive deeper
into this and learn more about exactly

1086
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:30,080
what their needs would be. Um, and you
know, kind of take it from there. Um, so

1087
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:36,000
something for you guys to think on and
consider. If you come up with any

1088
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:40,560
specific questions regarding this, Sam,
um, would be a great resource. you can,

1089
01:19:38,159 --> 01:19:44,400
you know, shoot me an email of list of
questions and I can pass those on to Sam

1090
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:48,719
and and maybe at a future meeting here
in the next few months before he goes

1091
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:53,280
back to session in January, we could ask
him to to kind of give us a more

1092
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:58,320
detailed review of what that exactly
would look like.

1093
01:19:54,159 --> 01:20:02,640
» Can you email me the CAPS guide
just that way I don't have to pull it

1094
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:07,600
out of the Thank you.
>> Yes, I can. So, is there any questions

1095
01:20:05,679 --> 01:20:11,120
on the capital improvement board?
>> I like it.

1096
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:15,840
» Um, I think it's a great opportunity for
us to get the community involved in what

1097
01:20:13,199 --> 01:20:20,960
that would look like. Um, and there's a
list of and the the list on that first

1098
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:26,320
page is not all inclusive. It's just
kind of a here are some of the ideas of

1099
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:30,760
what this, you know, would, you know,
projects that this could be used for.

1100
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:39,679
» Perfect. Thank you. the the 60% that's
of all the voters in the city

1101
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:43,040
» or is it the vote the voters voting it
says so the people that show up to vote

1102
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:47,120
» yes
>> 60% of those

1103
01:20:44,239 --> 01:20:49,920
» so yeah that so it's not 60% of
registered voters

1104
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:55,679
» 60% of
>> which is like a school bond I think

1105
01:20:51,840 --> 01:21:01,600
requires a 60% of registered voters this
is 60% of the votes for that measure

1106
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:06,000
» so if 100 people show up 60
>> correct Yes.

1107
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:10,800
» Correct. So,
>> thank you.

1108
01:21:08,159 --> 01:21:14,640
» All right. Number 12. Make a motion to
approve hiring Nick Broen as full-time

1109
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:19,120
assistant superintendent of public works
at $28 per hour effective September

1110
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:23,120
14th, 2026.
>> Second.

1111
01:21:20,159 --> 01:21:28,000
» Thank you both. Any further discussion?
All in favor?

1112
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:31,920
» I opposed. Motion carried. Welcome to
the team, Nick.

1113
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:38,000
» He apologizes for not being here. He is
finishing up uh work with his current

1114
01:21:36,159 --> 01:21:42,640
job as he's finishing out and they have
him working out of state out of state.

1115
01:21:41,440 --> 01:21:47,840
So
>> I think it'll be a good addition to our

1116
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:53,040
streets or public works department
streets whatever. All right. Number 13,

1117
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:59,280
September property maintenance and
inspection report. Uh there's a couple

1118
01:21:55,360 --> 01:22:05,040
in green on page one and page two um to
note. Um both those files have been sent

1119
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:10,880
to the city attorney. The one on page
two specifically um was requested to

1120
01:22:08,480 --> 01:22:15,440
have both property maintenance inspector
and the um code enforcement officer

1121
01:22:13,440 --> 01:22:20,000
inspect. They have red tagged that
building

1122
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:23,440
um as unsafe for occupation
>> for which

1123
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:30,880
» the one on page two.
angry in the middle. Um, so, uh, the

1124
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:35,840
city attorney is aware and he's working
on the next steps process for that.

1125
01:22:33,199 --> 01:22:38,960
» I did not cross reference these with the
driving around town, but I do feel like

1126
01:22:37,440 --> 01:22:42,880
a lot of the community members have
really stepped up and done a lot to

1127
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:46,800
their properties, and you can really
like tell the difference. There are a

1128
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:52,639
lot of improvements made. Um, I do
encourage people if because I'm not able

1129
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:57,280
to get out and drive the community. Um,
the one thing the property maintenance

1130
01:22:54,239 --> 01:23:02,639
inspector does not do is the yard and
weed maintenance. Um, so if there is

1131
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:06,400
somebody, I'm not telling you to telling
your neighbors, but if your neighbor or

1132
01:23:05,199 --> 01:23:10,239
somebody in the neighborhood or if
there's a property that's getting

1133
01:23:07,440 --> 01:23:15,040
overgrown, please call the office, email
me, stop in the office, let me know, and

1134
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:17,679
I will, you know, hang a tag on their
door making sure that they are aware

1135
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:20,960
that they need to take care of that or
we will

1136
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:24,080
» or reach out to your alderman or myself.
>> Alderman numbers are on the website. Um,

1137
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:28,400
» so
>> do we have anything about how long

1138
01:23:27,199 --> 01:23:33,280
» 8 in
>> tree cleanup is reasonably to take?

1139
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:36,080
» Uh, not necessarily. No.
>> Okay.

1140
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:38,719
» Not in the ordinance. Um, I know. I
know.

1141
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:43,600
» It has been a struggle this week. Um, we
left we left the rebel site open over

1142
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:48,560
the weekend. Um, Mitch had closed it
this morning um just for for safety, but

1143
01:23:47,199 --> 01:23:53,760
we ended up having to send it back out
there to close to reopen it today um

1144
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:57,120
just because We only have two keys here
in the office and if they're signed out,

1145
01:23:55,280 --> 01:24:00,480
they're signed out. Um, we have one
gentleman that signed one out last week

1146
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:06,320
and hasn't brought it back yet. Um,
Christy has been on them about that. Um,

1147
01:24:04,480 --> 01:24:10,480
and I've reminded people that cleanup is
coming. Um, I had a lot of questions

1148
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:16,639
asked, is the city going to be coming to
pick this up? Um, unfortunately, no. Um,

1149
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:20,000
last year was a kind of a the reason we
were able to have somebody pick up the

1150
01:24:18,480 --> 01:24:24,320
branches at the street was because the
county volunteered their staff. Um, so

1151
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:27,199
it is the responsibility of the
homeowner to get those out um to the

1152
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,840
rebel site.
>> Bigger storm.

1153
01:24:28,239 --> 01:24:34,639
» So,
>> um, but for the most part, it's it's

1154
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:38,239
getting done slowly, but because of you
only have a couple keys and rain this

1155
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:42,719
weekend and stuff. So,
>> how is the rubble site? It's really

1156
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:45,520
still pretty muddy. Uh, it actually I
was informed it wasn't as bad as they

1157
01:24:44,239 --> 01:24:49,000
expected this morning.
>> Okay.

1158
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,000
» So,

1159
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:56,480
» yeah, I agree. If there's any problems
that you see while you're out and about,

1160
01:24:54,560 --> 01:25:00,080
let any of us know.
>> I try and catch them as I can, but

1161
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:05,520
» it's not it's not killing on someone.
It's just making our city look better.

1162
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:09,520
» It's keeping the pest out, too. Pest
control.

1163
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:14,719
» All right. Uh, speaking of all of those
things, we have some reminders. Uh, fall

1164
01:25:12,159 --> 01:25:21,679
cleanup days are going to be held on
Friday, September 11th through Sunday,

1165

>> hours for that is posted on the city

1166
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:27,520

already. I can't remember.
