And we also had our special city council 12 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:10,479 meeting on April 16th, 2026. I think we can do one motion to accept those 13 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:15,680 minutes. >> We have a motion and support. All in 14 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:20,400 favor? I opposed.

Okay, we have a motion 19 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:43,519 and support. All those in favor? >> I opposed. 20 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:50,120 Motion carried. And moving on then to item number six on 21 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,120 our agenda, citizens comments. 22 00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:57,120 We have Colton here for 41 representing 41 wants to talk to us about a little 23 00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:01,519 project they're planning for Fourth of July weekend. Go ahead, Colton. 24 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:06,400 » Uh so July 3rd, uh Chris Redburn with the Redburn band. Uh we got a hold of 25 00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:11,440 him yesterday. I spoke with them and we'd like to do kind of a small venue 26 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:15,040 concert. I shouldn't say small, it's going to be uh we're the last time he 27 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,800 played it was when Bug Shots was still here. and he said that he was with 28 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:24,000 Saving Able and they pulled about 600 people into the city and just being at 29 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,280 the um holiday weekend and everything, I 30 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,239 thought it'd be a good thing to do. Um me and Megan um we spoke a little bit 31 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,360 more uh this morning about like kind of a little bit more details. Like I said, 32 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,920 it's this is all brand new, so everything's kind of out in the open 33 00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:44,480 that we were going to charge like $5 to get in. We're going to have the whole 34 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:51,040 sectioned off area on that um map that I g kind of gave you guys. Um 35 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:55,760 » the little uh yellow box there right at the top corner or top left corner. Uh 36 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:00,159 that be kind of where we set the band. We talked to um I'm sorry I don't 37 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:05,599 remember the gentleman's name uh that owns the funeral home. Yeah, he gave us 38 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:12,319 uh permission to be able to use that and the parking lot there. Um the orange uh 39 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,519 lines there would be where the fence would be going. We'd have a few 40 00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:19,600 different entrances. Uh obviously we would have to have um security people 41 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,320 checking IDs and stuff like that, especially if we're plan on bringing 600 42 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,759 people in there. Um I'd like to get some form of security, you know, just kind of 43 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,240 make sure people aren't walking off without call, stuff like that. Keep 44 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,680 everybody safe. Um a few different entrances to be able to 45 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:41,520 get in with all checkpoints and stuff. Uh the green lines right there. I talked 46 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:46,240 with uh Angiga and with Sky at uh Stormy's there uh for additional parking 47 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,680 and they just they told me that they're all good to go with it just as long as 48 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,880 their insurance companies allows it just with the alcohol sales and stuff like 49 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:59,040 that. They don't want to be held liable if somebody drives and gets hurt. Um 50 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:06,720 they know that uh we'll possibly have to pull a um an insurance umbrella for that 51 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:11,600 for that day. uh to kind of keep us more liable and just kind of keep everybody 52 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:17,280 covered just in case. Um yeah, uh I want to also want to make 53 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,520 sure that you guys understand that uh we will take responsibility on the cleanup 54 00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:25,520 of all those places, especially on the streets and everything. If anybody's 55 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:30,520 like parked on the street, uh we'll take full responsibility on cleanup. Um 56 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,199 there's a couple other things that I can't remember off the top of my head. 57 00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:38,240 uh everything that I kind of wanted to say. But if you guys have any questions 58 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,720 for me, I'll answer them to the best of my ability, but like I did say like this 59 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,560 is like brand new and like we just uh really want to be able to pull the 60 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:51,280 permits and uh make sure that we're Oh, that was the other thing. Um we wanted 61 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:55,360 to do this at night. Uh obviously with the noise ordinance, I believe that it 62 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:59,199 was it's 11 o'clock quiet hour. Uh we'd be done by 11 o'clock and everything so 63 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,360 that way we're not making anybody mad. Um, and yeah, so if you guys have any 64 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,919 questions for me, I'll try to answer them with the best of my ability. 65 00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:11,840 » The last time they were here was at the alley. Sean had them here. 66 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,000 » Okay. >> Where was it, Joe? 67 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,680 » At the alley >> when Sean was running that as a venue. 68 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,919 » Wasn't that mug shots? I thought that was the name of the I thought that was 69 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,520 the name of the alley. >> Yeah, 70 00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:28,240 » I thought that was the name of the alley, but yeah. Okay. Yeah. 71 00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:34,240 Well, one thing, uh, but I don't know, uh, where, um, Mission Electric Control 72 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,080 is going to be with it. Uh, I they will probably ask us for a resolution. So, 73 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:43,919 you making a presentation tonight is great. One thing I would recommend is 74 00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:46,880 completely closing off any entrance to US23. 75 00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:49,520 Um, >> oh, I 76 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,360 » you know, you're showing on your drawing that you have, you know, your driveways 77 00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:57,199 open. If you don't need your driveways, I would completely close that off so 78 00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:01,199 nobody could stumble, walk out, come in through US23. That's just a 79 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:04,080 recommendation. >> Pedestrian pedestrian walkway. 80 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,000 » That makes sense. And like I said, it was just a quick drawing. 81 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,759 » Yeah. >> Processes, you know, 82 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:15,360 » but yeah, that makes complete sense. Um, one other thing I'm so sorry. um the old 83 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,319 liquor store that's there. Megan has mentioned that she would like to try and 84 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:24,240 get that ripped down and cleaned up before the concert on the 3rd of July. 85 00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:28,720 Um if that does happen, I would assume that we would probably want to move the 86 00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:35,520 band to probably right up against the building there where that blue dot is. 87 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:40,000 Um and face out. Um, just that's a big if because I know that that's a that's a 88 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,759 that's a project and so getting that cleaned up and be able to people to be 89 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:48,960 able to walk on that with with safety and everything that you guys own own 90 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,479 that building now of course. Yeah. >> Yeah. You needed asbestous abatement on 91 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:55,759 that that >> take a while. 92 00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:59,520 » Yeah. You're two months out. It would be pushing it to even get that paper taken 93 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:07,759 care of. >> Okay. I'll tell Megan that I like I no 94 00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:11,759 idea on all the the inning outs and all the the red tape that I would be very in 95 00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:14,560 support of that but it's just it it takes time to go through all the red 96 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,560 tape right >> yeah 97 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,879 I guess do you think that's an I guess overflow parking do you think that's 98 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,599 enough parking with those two locations that's the big thing that stands out to 99 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,640 me you're talking about several hundred people 100 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:37,519 » just in Megan's uh Megan cousin as well. 101 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:43,279 » Yeah. So, I think so. You know, uh they said they did 600 people, but that was 102 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:47,519 with a bigger band than they were. Um I would assume that we're probably going 103 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:52,720 to do match that with the size of IG's parking lot. Um 104 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:58,800 and then uh oh, we also talked about doing possibly shuttles uh from the 105 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:03,440 hotels as well. uh whoever stay at the hotel getting uh shuttles. Chris Redburn 106 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:09,360 said that he has a 24 fashioner bus that we could use. I know um 107 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,640 oh my gosh, Dan over at Big Ben Campground. I was going to see if I 108 00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:16,240 could talk with him about possibly that kind of stuff as well and maybe trying 109 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:19,760 to facilitate a little bit more of that so we're not congesting too much in 110 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,920 town. I don't know, like I said, I don't know like the ins and outs of 111 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:29,360 everything. I'm, you know, I'm trying my best here with the day's notice. 112 00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:34,240 The the other recommendation I'd make and I don't know if council would allow 113 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:40,160 it or we'd have to do it, but uh closing off 114 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:45,839 uh Meno from US23 to 115 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:50,080 Michigan Avenue or a portion of it. I guess I'd be in support of that. What 116 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,959 um you're talking about an evening type concert, right? So you're not talking 117 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,880 about it be all day on the third, right? It' be probably from 6:00 p.m. 118 00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,800 » Yeah. I was thinking like, you know, kind of people start showing up around 119 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:05,839 5, six o'clock because we're going to be open throughout the day. 120 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:09,760 » And uh the thought process is I I told Megan yesterday, I'm not dealing with 121 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:15,040 liquor. I said beer, wine, selzers, that kind of thing in burger in uh beer 122 00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:18,720 barrels outside. We'll sell and do cash only kind of thing. Um I just don't want 123 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:22,640 to deal with liquor shots, people taking shots and stuff like that. That's when 124 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:27,279 that's a cause for disaster in itself. Um, and then, uh, before all this 125 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:30,640 happens to, um, I want to get make sure that the whole staff is TAM certified, 126 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,560 which is techniques of alcohol management, um, certified. It's one of 127 00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:39,519 the certifications that all managers basically have to have at a at a bar. 128 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:43,279 Um, and it just and it helps the more people that have it in a restaurant, the 129 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:47,200 the smarter we are. So, I just want to make sure that everybody that's going to 130 00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:50,399 be serving or or not, make sure that they're all TAM certified so that way we 131 00:10:48,959 --> 00:10:53,920 can kind of call it make sure that we're cutting people off and, you know, I just 132 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:58,000 I I want this to be more of a family event. I know that Chris is more of a 133 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,440 rock band, so it's a little bit out there, but uh I just, you know, I don't 134 00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:05,600 want a bunch of swearing and stuff like that. That's one big conversation that I 135 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,600 had. 136 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:16,000 Yeah, I think that would be a good idea to close Meno at least the block or half 137 00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:21,200 the half to the block there. Um, let people freely cross 138 00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:25,680 pedestrian wise to get their vehicles and stuff. And if the IG is going to 139 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:30,640 participate parking, then they could use the Michigan Avenue 140 00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:34,880 exit out of that parking lot rather than coming out on knock. 141 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:41,760 I think that would be much safer of event. Yeah, there no business that'd be 142 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:46,320 affected. Um, you know, we talked to uh Laura Sassy Scissor and uh what's going 143 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:50,959 on in that building? And >> you had conversation with Laura? 144 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,720 » I I haven't I don't know Laura and it was I just started doing this today. I 145 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,959 spoke with the two of them and then I was like, "Oh, shoot. I should probably 146 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,480 do that, too." So, that was kind of on my agenda for tomorrow. 147 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,680 » Yeah. She's going to be dead right. >> Yeah. Yeah. 148 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:11,839 Maybe you could have a specific area set up for crossing to that parking lot if 149 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,120 » you definitely could, you know, like restaurant. 150 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:21,040 » Yeah. >> Oh, with some of the fishing tournaments 151 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,560 you guys have had crossing guards to help people get across, right? 152 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:28,240 » Yes. Yeah. >> That's just 153 00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:32,639 remember this is Friday. I know it's going to be as busy as it gets probably 154 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:36,720 right about that time. So >> yeah, I would be a little concerned of 155 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:43,200 anything happen on US 23. >> I think like I say keeping people if you 156 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:47,200 can with some barriers behind the sidewalk, right? You know that probably 157 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,200 be about as good as it's going to get, 158 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,279 right? having a barrier between the roadway and 159 00:12:53,279 --> 00:13:00,440 your people or you know some physical separation 160 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,440 be a good idea. 161 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:10,399 What kind of action would it take from us to facilitate this other than closing 162 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:14,720 that street? >> Um are there any permits involved that 163 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:19,519 we need to sign off on or anything like that? I tried to find something on a 164 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:26,959 special event uh permit and we don't really have anything. We have two 165 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:32,160 residents that are near and and uh the uh the assisted living facility. Um the 166 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:37,600 two residents I'd be concerned and making sure that they know what's going 167 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:39,839 on. At least let's hear their opinion on it. 168 00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:45,600 » And that's something I can get with Colton to do. 169 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:48,839 I'd like to at least like I said hear their concern. 170 00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:56,959 » They go right in the backyard there.

Like I said, this is first 183 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,320 time kind of going about setting something like this up in a smaller 184 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,680 town. So, like going around like I just I don't know the ins and outs. Um I, you 185 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:56,000 know, I definitely want to let everybody know what's going on. You know, if the 186 00:14:53,839 --> 00:14:59,760 you know, obviously the uh the two neighbors right behind us. Uh I know one 187 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,360 of them is a little bit newer.

Is that the 195 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:42,000 thought? >> Um, really we got to see what the state 196 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:46,399 does to it. I mean, if he pulls together then we would just might have to get 197 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,920 together have something next meeting. Yeah. But I don't think we need to put 198 00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:55,440 together a public hearing. >> We don't do that after the resolution 199 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:57,360 for temporary like for like these other events like car show for example. We 200 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,440 don't >> street closing. 201 00:15:59,839 --> 00:16:04,959 » Yeah. with street closing and I don't know if uh with the area they're 202 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:10,320 covering if I don't know what the liquid control commission is going to ask for 203 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:16,360 like sometimes they ask for a resolution that we they extend or change their 204 00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:16,360 liquor permit 205 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,120 » outside sales and stuff through 206 00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:27,920 because the July meeting regular meeting is not until 207 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,440 Yeah, let us definitely support the project. 208 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:46,480 » It's recorded. It's >> bring a proposal next meeting for you 209 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:51,920 guys. Let you know what I got with Lick Commission and everything. Um, do I need 210 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:55,920 it? Would I need to contact the uh the internet police about the road? I that 211 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,079 one I don't understand. >> Oh, that would be that would be city 212 00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:01,279 then we'd run our police department there. 213 00:17:00,959 --> 00:17:07,559 » Yeah. >> Okay. 214 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,559 » So just think of what's going on. 215 00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:15,520 » Yeah. D at least three or four days ahead so he can have proper 216 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,400 » especially the liquor control commission needs some kind. 217 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,439 » That's a pretty standard form. Uh basically what they're just going to 218 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:25,360 tell me like I was saying is it's got to be fenced in. I have to make sure that 219 00:17:23,679 --> 00:17:29,600 uh we have security making sure that people aren't walking in and out of the 220 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:33,120 area. Um it it's actually quite simple to do 221 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:41,440 that. Uh I know for the USPG or Yeah, that's what 222 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:45,760 we had to do. Yeah, it was basically just because it's 223 00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:48,880 all on our property and we're not doing it throughout the city. So, we're don't 224 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,400 we don't have to worry about that. We just have to make sure that our 225 00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:58,080 insurance lines extend to the parking lots and then the fence around the area 226 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:02,080 that people will be consuming alcohol is basically really what they're going to 227 00:17:59,919 --> 00:18:06,880 tell me. And then just whatever the I think it's like a $75 fee is really all 228 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,240 it is and just how and then the date the duration that they're going to ask for. 229 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:14,720 So every everyone is going to be contained to this orange area that you 230 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,280 got there. Okay. Then the IG is just parking, right? 231 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:28,799 get scrubby to let them park. >> I'm sure all 232 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,600 I mean they pretty much all the strong businesses would be support of that. 233 00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:35,120 » Yeah, >> they won't want you to pay 10 bucks or 234 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:38,480 something for parking in their lot. >> That's kind of what I was thinking. If 235 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:42,000 they want to like by all means like that that's literally what I was thinking. If 236 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:45,039 they want to charge parking by all means like I have no issue like we would have 237 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,799 no issue with that. they start their parking lot and like you know I can't 238 00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:53,600 really tell what to do but I would hope that they would try to profit a little 239 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:58,880 bit off that. Um you know with bees you know I would with bees I I think that as 240 00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:02,880 much as she can get out there and put in a couple signages for the breakfast for 241 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:07,760 the following day for 4th of July. I think that that'll bring in a lot with 242 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:12,160 them. And then um I know like if IGA wants to do like popcorn and stuff for 243 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:17,679 so for people to bring over because we had the conversation that I just don't 244 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:24,400 think that being open for service with 600 people is a wise decision because 245 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:27,919 I'm a group. I'm not um and yeah I think that the inside is 246 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:31,440 just going to kind of be like for the band and people and it's just going to 247 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,520 be outside event. We're just going to do everything straight outside beer, 248 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:40,320 liquor, and you know, we'll have wristbands for people over 21.

Um 336 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:24,320 our our regular uh turn on turn off fee is $35. Emergency after hours. That's 337 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:29,360 the big one. We're only charging $55. We roughly have cost us 150 bucks to 338 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:32,159 send the guys out for an emergency shut off. So, we're we're getting behind on 339 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,799 that. >> To cover your wages or something. Is 340 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,240 that what you had in mind? Or >> Well, we want to I did a recommendation 341 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:43,279 up there and the two of the other ones, Dan, are there our water tap in fee and 342 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:49,039 our sewer tap in fee. Those aren't just the costs of tapping in. And those are 343 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:54,880 the they were supposed to be impact fees on our system. Our system was put in 344 00:27:51,120 --> 00:28:00,480 years ago to service a lot of different people. And 345 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:06,480 the impact fees they they the money goes into the water 346 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:10,159 funds to and the sewer funds, not just what it cost to build years ago, but 347 00:28:08,399 --> 00:28:15,760 when we have to maintain it and keep it up. So, those are the impact fees. And 348 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:23,279 and the way we're set up now, we're charging $2,400 for water, $1,800 349 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:29,360 for for sewer. If someone comes in and wants to hook into water, we charge 350 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:36,640 them $2,400. If it comes out to 20 if the if the labor the equipment charge, 351 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:42,720 the materials comes out to 23.99, we've only made a dollar on it for our 352 00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:44,960 impact fee. If it comes out over 2400, we charge in the overage. So, we have 353 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,039 zero. >> We do charge them an overage 354 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:54,480 » if it if it costs more than 2400. Like they might have to uh order underneath 355 00:28:51,039 --> 00:29:02,240 the road or something of that sort. Um so on these fees, 356 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:06,080 uh had it on my notes. What I'm recommending 357 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:14,559 is we take our regular water turn off from $35 to $50. 358 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:18,960 our emergency turn off from 55 to 150 which will cover our costs of our DPW 359 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:24,559 going out. I want to keep our water and sewer tap 360 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:31,440 fees the same but we would add on our labor equipment 361 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:37,520 materials or supplies to tap in. So, we would be able to put that $2400 or that 362 00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:42,080 $1,800 depending water sewer into our water and sewer fund. 363 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:49,919 » Yeah. You don't have any idea how much the extra equipment is or nothing? 364 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:55,279 » That's going to vary on where they can tap in and what supplies 365 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:58,159 they supply. I know. I know that's a real loose answer, but I don't know. 366 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,880 Levon, you might be able to give a better example of what kind of bills 367 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:06,559 we've have in there. >> Well, it seems like the 24 and 18 if 368 00:30:03,919 --> 00:30:12,320 it's on the the right side of the road, that covers all of our costs. They do 369 00:30:09,679 --> 00:30:17,120 abore, it's always an additional cost. So 370 00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:20,320 you're probably talking 4,800 for water tap and 3,600 for 371 00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:25,120 » Yeah, >> what you're saying? 372 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:30,480 » That would just be if the board then you'd add on extra amount of dollars and 373 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:34,799 » Yeah. Well, that seems fair. >> We don't have many vacant lots left. 374 00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:41,440 » No, that don't have water and sewer. >> Uh and uh that don't have water that 375 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:45,840 aren't hooked up. And uh um you know the cost the cost of having this service you 376 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:51,279 know what it cost to put in a well and septic right now is outrageous also. 377 00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:57,279 » But this is some place that we have if we would have been slowly 378 00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:00,240 having the increments on it. It would be you know been different and also the 379 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:05,880 water and government that's a onetime charge that's once they paid it's there 380 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,880 » forever. 381 00:31:06,159 --> 00:31:11,440 There's nothing wrong with what you're, you know, what you're proposing. Just 382 00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:15,679 long as we're being fair to, we're fair. We're not trying to gouge people is what 383 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:18,679 I'm getting at. Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. 384 00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:24,640 We're not talking about a huge increase right now. It's not like we're tripling 385 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:26,000 or doubling. So, >> doubling. 386 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,600 » What's that? >> You're doubling 387 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:31,679 » with with the extra >> We could be. 388 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,760 » We could be. >> Depends. It depends on the situation. If 389 00:31:33,919 --> 00:31:36,559 it's boring, it's your getting sort of tripling, 390 00:31:36,399 --> 00:31:40,720 » right? >> Yeah. It'll still be boring because you 391 00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:45,440 still have your initial cost plus your boring costs. 392 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,840 » Plus the $2,400 fee. >> You still have that cost on top of the 393 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:54,399 24, >> right? $2,400 just flat fee, which goes 394 00:31:51,679 --> 00:31:58,960 for what? >> It goes to our fund to maintain our 395 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:05,120 equipment and theoretically what it costs to build the equipment. 396 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:08,320 also what our sewer fees are supposed to be doing, 397 00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:13,760 » right? Struggle with the additional cost for 398 00:32:10,399 --> 00:32:19,200 building in the city. Building a new house in the city were adding to making 399 00:32:16,159 --> 00:32:24,200 that more expensive. I'm sort of struggling this whole 400 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,200 process 401 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,480 as it uh maybe making people not want to come into the cities. It's just another 402 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,399 click of referencing. >> Yeah, just and it's not going to be 403 00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:40,960 deciding factor for them. They're either going to want to come or they're not. 404 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,240 It's just another in the negative column. I 405 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:49,760 just struggling with that. My head is all 406 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:54,000 just verbalizing it. >> Yeah, 407 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,960 I definitely get the, you know, labor equipment supplies that you have. 408 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:01,120 » Right. Right. >> Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. like you 409 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,399 say that you're saying like the tap fee itself that that goes into the fund, 410 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:09,360 right? That's what you're >> Yeah, the base we're already doing in 411 00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:15,760 our monthly buildings is supposed to be supposed to include enough to cover 412 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:19,120 um depreciation and cost of repair and maintenance and stuff in our monthly 413 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:24,720 fees. We try to structure that around that. Um and to do one or two or three 414 00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:29,600 tap tap how many taps a year did they do? I would say if we did three was a 415 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:33,519 lot. >> We've had years we've had zero. 416 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:40,720 » So it's it's such a small amount as far as grand 417 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:45,200 scheme of our funds. >> It is but the theory when you theory is 418 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:48,640 when you build a plant you build it for x number of places, 419 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:55,679 » right? And I and so as people are coming into 420 00:33:53,519 --> 00:34:00,240 town, they have the or building they the 421 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,679 benefit to hooking in is you have to help pay for the system 422 00:34:02,159 --> 00:34:07,360 » that you have >> and that's what this is that's an impact 423 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:11,599 fee >> or a tap in fee 424 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:15,919 » is to help pay for the existing system. >> Do you have any idea like what other 425 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:19,520 communities are fees are? I know it didn't 426 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:26,639 » all over the board. John, um we we are going to be on the higher end on this. 427 00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:32,720 Uh not by much. Um Tawas does a fee plus costs on top of that. Uh Standish 428 00:34:30,879 --> 00:34:40,480 um they have a flat fee. Uh Tawas 429 00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:49,440 um is a flat fee. Um I'm sorry. They're they're flat fee, 1,400 for water and 430 00:34:43,839 --> 00:34:56,800 1,400 for sewer. Uh sewer has a $600 uh house has a $1,400 flat fee plus a 431 00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:00,720 $600 and I think it's a debt reduction fee. I don't know what that one was for 432 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:04,960 plus the costs. >> So, like I said, we're we're we are on 433 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:08,800 the higher end uh by a few hundred bucks, but not outrageous. The debt 434 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:14,960 reduction would be like you were saying to pay for the existing system 435 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:18,000 being into that bond or whatever payment but you know 436 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:22,160 » I know that >> revisit this every year either you know 437 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:26,880 they've gone 11 years without >> beach has got a nominal fee don't they 438 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:31,760 » I don't even take that into consideration they got a real problem 439 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,240 off the charts fees. 440 00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:35,240 » Yeah. 441 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:47,359 » So, you're looking for a motion to have um 2400 Well, the 5150 and I think those 442 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:55,839 are no-brainers.

What we look at when they do upgrades on the 509 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:22,560 water tower is ask adding any more weight to the water tower or anything 510 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:28,640 that's going to catch wind. And uh like I said, uh Verizon did some 511 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:33,280 stuff last fall. AT&T came along. They want to add a few things. They're taking 512 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:37,839 very few components off, but they want to add more stuff, but they want to add 513 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:43,040 it. It's all in the pack here. They want to add it in the tower, not on the top 514 00:42:41,599 --> 00:42:46,880 of the water tower. At the top of the water tower, we have a ring that they 515 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:52,800 can add stuff to because we don't want a welding on the water tower, especially 516 00:42:48,720 --> 00:43:02,680 the tank itself. So they want to place uh these antennas 517 00:42:56,720 --> 00:43:02,680 below the tank itself on the tower. 518 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:09,680 Heath did not feel it was going to be a problem. They would have to weld some 519 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:16,240 brackets as long as the materials prepared. They're welded, primed, and 520 00:43:12,319 --> 00:43:21,280 painted again uh properly. uh 521 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:27,839 I wanted more guarantees than that. So I reached back out to uh Masttec which is 522 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:33,440 handling this for AT&T and I asked him three questions. Uh the first one being 523 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:38,800 more of a guarantee that it's not going to rust where they they weld onto the 524 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:42,640 tank. That was the first qu. The second question was when Verizon updated the 525 00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:50,400 tank, they put more anchor bolts in. This is 526 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:57,599 on also on AT&T's proposal. I just want to make sure that they know it's done or 527 00:43:52,960 --> 00:44:01,680 is this additional bolts and this is the first time that I've experienced where 528 00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:08,960 they're adding more equipment and not taking a lot of equipment off. So my 529 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:13,359 third question was at what point do we charge more of a fee for adding more 530 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:18,640 equipment onto the tower? I have not heard back from Masttec yet. So I'm 531 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:22,400 asking to uh table this until we hear back from them. 532 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:25,359 » This is they're proposing to do this below the water vessel on the support 533 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:30,720 column >> sheet A3. Joe got that. 534 00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:35,480 » So they're less money. 535 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,480 » Yeah. a couple years ago. 536 00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:40,079 » Um, so they're going to the support column, not to the actual water vessel. 537 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:46,000 » Correct. >> Um, do can we 538 00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:51,200 should we entertain a independent 539 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:57,760 structural engineer to evaluate this and add it to A&'s the cost of that to 540 00:44:54,800 --> 00:45:04,800 AT&T's cost? We did that with Verizon. We approached them and 541 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:11,200 uh they came back as with their uh their engineering company. 542 00:45:08,319 --> 00:45:16,560 Um on and and that was more of weight and weight calculations. Um, what we 543 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:20,319 would do is we want to see what I want to see what their guarantee is first and 544 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:25,200 then we'd reach out to Nelson Tank who has done did the painting and the 545 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:30,480 repairs and the other stuff on our tank and then get an idea what it cost them 546 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:35,359 to inspect and they would hire them as their inspector and pass it on to Yes. 547 00:45:33,119 --> 00:45:40,720 But we would do Nelson tank. when it comes to structural integr Nelson last 548 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:45,520 time and Nelson said we'd be using this company to do the weight evaluations 549 00:45:43,599 --> 00:45:49,839 anyway. So we weren't there was no benefit but when it comes to the 550 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:54,079 painting and the welding that would be with Nelson. So 551 00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:58,000 » yeah, just so we could get some kind of independent third party evaluation so 552 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:02,960 they're not >> That's what I was looking I wanted AT&T 553 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:07,319 to come back and say we'll pay for your private third party. Yeah, 554 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:13,280 I'm not opposed to it, but there should be some benefit to the city residents 555 00:46:11,839 --> 00:46:18,000 and there should be some kind of guarantee for the city residents that 556 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,680 it's not going to damage our infrastructure. 557 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:28,680 » Correct. We have the 558 00:46:23,839 --> 00:46:28,680 call on top river 559 00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:36,240 equipment. I >> This down here is not And we don't we 560 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:43,040 don't want the support column to the tank 12 years from now that that tank to 561 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:46,480 have structural integrity issues because of what they do to it. Just my 562 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,359 » um >> yeah, that's why I said table it. I I 563 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,960 recommend table until we get more information. 564 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:55,520 » I would totally agree. And also if they're going to add a bunch more 565 00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:00,400 equipment like that, then we should re-evaluate like you said their 566 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:06,400 multi-use trees. There's got to be some benefit to the city. 567 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:12,000 Yeah, the previous uh things that have been happen has been updating equipped, 568 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:16,000 you know, taking a antenna down, putting a new modern one 569 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:21,200 up, whatever. >> This looks like it's going to add a lot 570 00:47:17,359 --> 00:47:25,359 of burden to that tower. And I I we just need to do our due diligence on 571 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:30,040 it. Again, I would 100% agree that table. 572 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,920 Okay. motion then go 573 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:40,640 » uh were you looking for some kind of a motion on them to take 574 00:47:38,319 --> 00:47:44,400 » oh they they were looking for option >> would they ask us to present at the 575 00:47:42,319 --> 00:47:48,880 meeting and I haven't got an answer back from so I figured this might light the 576 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,359 fire under getting an answer >> then I would 577 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,440 » if we table it >> I'll make a motion that we table it 578 00:47:52,880 --> 00:48:02,000 until we get more information from AT&T including guarantees and of both damage 579 00:47:59,839 --> 00:48:05,240 to the tower and structural integrity of the installation. 580 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:14,240 We have motion and support. All those in favor? I I 581 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:18,960 motion carried. All right, we're moving on then from new 582 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:24,480 business to our city manager report. Um, 583 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:29,040 one thing I want to back up a little bit on on Joe, we talked about the 584 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:33,200 miscellaneous charge increase. I just want to throw out that I really think 585 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:37,599 this board has done a great job in their due diligence to keep the cost of our 586 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:41,359 residents down. I don't think we've raised anything that wasn't needed for 587 00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:46,960 the future of the community. I just want to bring that up because you know last 588 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:51,839 last month we uh we uh passed the uh uh putting the millage on to renew the 589 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:56,400 mosquito millage. We were able >> reduce that accord. So I think we're 590 00:48:54,400 --> 00:49:00,160 doing our job back and say you're just going after the citizens. I I don't feel 591 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:04,480 that at all. I think like I said, we do a great job. 592 00:49:01,359 --> 00:49:09,599 » Uh I just my my problem with that was I don't want to 593 00:49:05,839 --> 00:49:14,000 hand confess with cost against promoting more construction in town. You know, 594 00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:17,920 that was >> right. Yeah, understandable. 595 00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:21,760 Flip side too. We're keeping our water and sewer costs down. 596 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:28,480 » Uh some of the lowest we are the lowest in the area. So, we we work hard at all 597 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:34,160 that uh South Court Housing, we're getting close. Um wow, that is taking a 598 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:39,920 long time, longer than I should, but uh real close. Hopefully, the next uh 599 00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:45,920 the next time I talk about this with the council, we're having an open house. 600 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:51,280 Uh campground expansion, little going on the the the sites themselves. The cabins 601 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:56,640 have been delivered. They're in. They look nice. Uh the electrical inside 602 00:49:53,760 --> 00:50:00,800 those cabins is complete. The park manager Chris, he's working on 603 00:49:58,559 --> 00:50:05,680 finishing the inside, putting the bathrooms, the little kitchenets, 604 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:09,520 flooring and stuff in. So, uh Memorial Day is going to be a stretch to have 605 00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:13,599 them open, but they'll be into June to have those open. 606 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:18,480 Ball fields, another one that's finally coming along. Fences going up. 607 00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:22,880 Thanks to Dan has worked hard on the storage accessory building. Uh, I think 608 00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:25,040 that's all set to go, isn't it, Dan? We got 609 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:30,160 » Yeah, we got some uh tables coming for inside tomorrow. Supposed to be here 610 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:37,079 from Bernard's. And uh that's pretty well it. Oh. Oh, I want to know when I 611 00:50:33,359 --> 00:50:37,079 can get that fridge. 612 00:50:39,359 --> 00:50:45,760 » I got to pick it up. It's in my city right now. I I can get it soon. 613 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:49,680 » If you can do it. >> Yeah, I know. Talk to the boss. 614 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:58,720 But they're uh they will be playing ball this year on the fields. If you haven't 615 00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:02,800 driven by them, they look they look >> they look fantastic. I was noticing all 616 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:10,160 the new fencing and stuff like >> Yeah, looks real nice. uh our TIFFA 617 00:51:05,599 --> 00:51:16,599 grants.

Another project I think is great. another 620 00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:30,480 program. I want to thank the TIFFA board for uh for approving that, doing the 621 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:35,280 work on it, and coming up with it again making our community look forward and it 622 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:41,119 look uh great moving forward for our businesses.

Joe 663 00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:14,640 on what a job the city crew is doing. Um yeah, and as you can see by the list of 664 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:20,559 stuff on Dale's list, he does a phenomenal job, especially research and 665 00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:24,480 all this. So appreciate all that kind of work. There's a lot goes into everything 666 00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:30,480 there. People don't realize how many hours you spend on each little topic. Um 667 00:55:27,839 --> 00:55:35,200 the the houses are looking good in the north quarter. The ball diamonds are 668 00:55:32,319 --> 00:55:39,040 looking fantastic. Um, I haven't been over the park since it was so wet over 669 00:55:37,359 --> 00:55:43,200 there, so I haven't seen the latest and greatest, but it looks right. All the 670 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:49,520 projects that are moving forward in the city are just it's pretty cool. We're in 671 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:54,240 everything is positive motion, which is just awesome. 672 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:59,520 That's it. >> Thank you. Thanks, Joe. Dan, 673 00:55:56,799 --> 00:56:03,520 » no, I just kind of reiterate what Joe said. It's just things are coming 674 00:56:01,359 --> 00:56:06,799 together. It looks nice.
