We'll see how it goes. Um, so first of all, I just want to thank Wayne and 116 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:22,720 his crew for always being awesome. I put a bunch of brush out and I came home the 117 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:26,800 next day to a uh empty road, so they must have swept it up and everything. 118 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:32,240 So, uh, continue to be impressed by the service that I get from the public um, 119 00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:35,600 employees here. So, appreciate that. >> Thank you. 120 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:39,600 » Um, ironically, also want to talk about the website. So, I've been up here a 121 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,161 couple times this year. I think if I remember right, I think of February is 122 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,480 the first time I came up. [clears throat] Just letting you guys 123 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:48,720 know where the accessibility for the website stood. Um, you know, I come from 124 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:53,680 a expert opinion on this. This has been my career for 25 plus years. Um, I'm not 125 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,279 looking to get any extra work. I'm not doing any consulting work. So, I'm just 126 00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:00,560 recommending uh that you guys spend some effort here, but it won't be with me or 127 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,360 at least if it if it is, you're not going to pay me any money. I'm willing 128 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,959 to give some of my time if that's what it takes. 129 00:17:05,199 --> 00:17:11,839 Um, I was excited to see that we had a new website. Uh, I was less excited to 130 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:16,240 see that it actually scores worse on the accessibility uh standard. So, it's 131 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:21,919 actually a 42 now out of out of a 100. Um, I realized that if you don't know 132 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:28,079 the standard, it's hard to meet it. So, what I asked for tonight is just engage 133 00:17:25,199 --> 00:17:33,200 some expert somewhere to please help. Um, I turn reduce motion on on my 134 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:37,919 browser and I'm with a video that moves at the very first thing I see on the 135 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:42,559 website. That should not happen. I get sick of motion, 136 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,440 right? So, the importance of a website today is just as important as this 137 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,720 physical building. You have more people walking through the front door of the 138 00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:53,760 website than you do of this building. Everybody that needs to have access to 139 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:59,039 the website, it needs to work for them, right? This is table stakes in 2026. So 140 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,640 please, whatever you do, whoever you engage, find somebody knows what they're 141 00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:08,720 doing and please improve it and I'm willing to to meet or talk offline if I 142 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:12,080 can be of help there. No cost. Okay. Um these are basic basic things. 143 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,360 Secondarily, I was going to mention what actually Chuck happened to mention is 144 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,240 there's no documents on there. It's just not it's just not acceptable. It wasn't 145 00:18:17,679 --> 00:18:23,280 ready to go live apparently. Um, it should have been it should have been 146 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:27,600 delayed until those documents were up there because I I remember earlier this 147 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:31,440 year there was a resolution passed that the agenda would be posted to the 148 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:35,600 website prior to the meeting. You didn't meet that and you knew ahead of time, 149 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,000 right? I don't think this is a surprise to anybody. So, please spend the time. 150 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:45,559 It's important. More people are going to visit the website than walk through that 151 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,559 front door. Thank you. 152 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,480 » Thanks, sir. 153 00:18:52,960 --> 00:19:01,280 fiscal sir. >> Good evening, village residents and 154 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:10,520 council.

And I just 166 00:19:55,919 --> 00:20:02,799 wanted to invite everybody here on council and the audience to mark your 167 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:10,160 calendars for a couple of dates. The first is Sunday, September 20th. Um, we 168 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:14,480 are participating in the Ohio Open Doors program.

We are trying to get the state 170 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:24,000 to pay attention to some of our lovely real estate here in the village. And if 171 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:29,280 we get our foot in the door with this program, we have an opportunity to bring 172 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,320 historic preservation specialists who normally if you had to pay out of pocket 173 00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:35,280 to get people like that to come down and look at your house, your property, and 174 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:40,559 say, "Hey, what do I do with this?" or I have this substrate, what it would be uh 175 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:44,159 just ridiculously expensive, but we're we're trying to get our foot in the door 176 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,919 so we can bring those experts down at other occasions who would make their 177 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:54,240 services available free to village residents. Um that program will be from 178 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:59,679 uh 2:00 to 4 on that Sunday. We will have the armory open. We will give a 179 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:04,240 presentation of our newly refurbished space in here that 180 00:21:01,679 --> 00:21:08,720 we're working very hard on. and um we will offer refreshments and that program 181 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:14,320 is paid for by the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office.

He's going to play a 184 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:30,320 program for us. I do not have the entire program yet, but the folk piece that he 185 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:36,640 has chosen um for his performance at 7:30 on the night of October 3rd is 186 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:41,840 Yankee Doodle. Um he's also asked if we have a piano here, and I was very happy 187 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:45,760 to say yes, we actually do have a very nice Baldwin piano here. So, I believe 188 00:21:44,159 --> 00:21:50,240 he's bringing a pianist with him as well. And uh we're going to have him 189 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:54,799 evaluate our uh historic violin made here in Claremont County while he's down 190 00:21:51,919 --> 00:22:00,640 here. Um, I also wanted to mention as a an aside that um I concur with the 191 00:21:57,679 --> 00:22:05,440 gentleman's comments uh earlier uh about the friendliness and helpfulness of the 192 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:10,720 officials and staff of this village. I've lived here for 26 years. 193 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:14,799 They haven't always been friendly. They always haven't always been open-minded. 194 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:17,840 This is the friendliest climate that I have seen, the most helpful climate that 195 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,679 I've seen in this village. And it fills me with a tremendous amount of hope. um 196 00:22:19,919 --> 00:22:27,360 not just as a resident but as a property owner here. And um on the subject of 197 00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:34,080 accessibility um I teach online and in person and I 198 00:22:31,679 --> 00:22:38,960 have to have 100% compliance in my courses on accessibility. I would be 199 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:43,440 happy to work with you and see if we could make use of some of the resources 200 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:48,000 with University of Cincinnati to make sure that we're in compliance on our 201 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:52,480 website here uh because they are a juggernaut of this process. Uh but I've 202 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:58,159 been I've been making my courses compliant for two decades before it was 203 00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:03,280 mandated. Okay. So, I understand what you're saying. I believe in it. It's 204 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:07,840 possible. It's a pain in the ass. It >> is a total pain in the ass. 205 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:12,320 But I'll help you on My name's Kelly again. I will help you on it because I 206 00:23:09,919 --> 00:23:17,840 do fundamentally believe in it and it's just it's hard to find the resources to 207 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:21,840 do it unless you really really work at it. So anyway, that's that's my 208 00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:24,559 stickick. That was more than two minutes.

We can always explore the type one 274 00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:09,919 annexation at a later date.

Uh, in the last month, 323 00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:08,720 my office was quite busy with matters relating to the village. Um, some of 324 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:13,760 which people in the audience may have heard about. Um, I do want to ask 325 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:18,240 council if we could have an executive session at the end of the meeting 326 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:23,360 pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 121.22 327 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:28,880 G3. That's to meet with legal counsel to discuss pending or eminent litigation. 328 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:32,640 U, there's no request for action to be taken. So, we can do it later rather 329 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:38,000 than have the crowd sit here while we meet. Um, so I would ask for that later. 330 00:32:35,679 --> 00:32:42,000 Uh the only other thing of of note in the last month that took place was we 331 00:32:39,679 --> 00:32:46,960 did have a meeting with the court on the CRT zoning violation matter. Uh we had 332 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,720 previously mediated the case and thought there was potentially a framework that 333 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:55,519 could be discussed to move forward toward the possibility of resolving the 334 00:32:52,320 --> 00:33:01,840 condition of the property. Um and as is uh of note in relation to that property, 335 00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:05,919 um promises were made and then promises could not be followed up on and that's 336 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:09,760 not by the village. Therefore, uh we've asked the court and Judge Brock was kind 337 00:33:08,159 --> 00:33:14,720 enough to get us on his schedule and we are set for trial in November. There 338 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:20,960 will be a trial in November. At that point, um it will be a request from me 339 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:24,720 as the solicitor for the village uh for in the event that we are successful 340 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:28,480 final orders with respect to the condition of the property. There is 341 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:32,880 currently a permanent injunction on the property. So, it would simply be a 342 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:38,159 matter of uh should we succeed in order to allow the village to go in and 343 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:42,799 remediate the multitude of vehicles currently parked on the property. Um 344 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,559 those are the things my office took care of in the last month uh that are a 345 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:51,080 matter of public discussion that are not attorney client privileged. Thank you. 346 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,399 » Any questions for our solicitor? 347 00:33:56,399 --> 00:34:04,679 Hearing none. Thank you, sir. Thank you for all your work.

Um as far as the administrator side, Maddox Industrial 354 00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:39,760 Transformers is sponsoring another music on Main tomorrow night uh in the Kathy 355 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:45,040 Turner Park right here next to the building. I did speak with a developer 356 00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:50,159 of the Harvest or the uh Riverpoint Apartments. Um they are going to be 357 00:34:47,839 --> 00:34:54,159 starting within the next week marking where the buildings are going to go and 358 00:34:52,079 --> 00:35:01,040 they hope to start moving more dirt to the site uh soon afterward. Uh he did 359 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:05,119 advise that with the amount of dirt that they needed to bring in, it may take two 360 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:11,040 to three months to bring it in and move it where they need to move it. 361 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:15,119 No update on the streamside rental properties. uh Betavia Schools, they 362 00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:18,960 continue to support our commercial development. Uh the school was happy 363 00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:23,680 with the progress on the park that we've made on Broadway. Uh if you haven't been 364 00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:28,079 down there, we did create a full circle walking path now. Um so you can actually 365 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:33,280 walk around the property without having to go in the grass or on Clark Street in 366 00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:37,440 the back. Um and it's uh few people that I spoke to out there are u really 367 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:42,960 enjoying it and they like that it's there. Um, 368 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:48,160 no updates with UC Claremont. Uh, I did speak with Casey's. Uh, they're moving 369 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:52,800 along on the construction. Uh, they were ran into some delays with pouring the 370 00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:56,560 footers for their canopy. They had hoped to be open by the end of September. Uh, 371 00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:01,920 but it looks like it's probably going to be mid October before they open. Now, 372 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:07,520 um, still working with the engineering firm for the final engineering for the 373 00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:11,200 foundry sidewalk grant. uh the Herald Road interchange, that project has been 374 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:16,480 completed. Um I didn't receive any response back 375 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:24,079 from Norton Signs on when they plan to start the construction of the sign there 376 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:30,000 at the uh Red Barn property. Um public works, they started clearing the 377 00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:34,160 riverbank area of the the low brush and everything. It's they've done a great 378 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:38,960 job and went really quick to get that done to start working on that park 379 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,359 project. Um Wayne, I did have one question for you. You know when they're 380 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,200 start supposed to start the paving project? 381 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:49,680 » Yeah, it's >> I hadn't heard either. Still waiting on 382 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:54,440 the start date for the pave road paving project. And that concludes my report. 383 00:36:55,839 --> 00:37:01,359 take just in case the people wanted to know, do you want to say where that 384 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:05,599 paving project is going to be at? >> Um, yeah. I'm not sure what area it is, 385 00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:10,079 but it's up Shelly Drive and up that area is where most of the roads will be 386 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:14,800 done. There are some spots in a couple of other roadways that are deteriorated 387 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:18,160 that are also going to be fixed during that paving project. 388 00:37:15,839 --> 00:37:24,400 » Okay. Thank you. I I also have uh so I just want to make 389 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:29,280 a comment. So on Herald the Herald Road, uh boy, we need to do something there, 390 00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:34,640 you know, as far as the the people trying to leave uh on Herald Road and 391 00:37:31,359 --> 00:37:39,040 get on the 32 or uh we need like a turn lane. We need something needs to be done 392 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:44,000 there. Uh especially even trying to slow down if you're going uh westbound on 32 393 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:48,800 towards Herald Road, trying to turn right, there's no turn lane there. and 394 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:54,960 uh something needs to be done there to uh h how do we how do we get the ball 395 00:37:51,200 --> 00:38:01,520 rolling on that because that's uh public safety. And so the original plan was 396 00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:05,839 after this improvement was made to look at grant funding through the Ohio 397 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:12,200 Department safety grant to do an acceleration and deceleration lane on 398 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:12,200 both sides of 32. 399 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:20,560 Is there anything we can do to speed that process up? I mean, do we u It is 400 00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:27,599 pretty dangerous up there. I' i've driven up to both neighborhoods. Uh but 401 00:38:23,359 --> 00:38:33,839 especially um that one it is scary to uh get off the highway there, especially 402 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:38,160 during traffic time. Um so I also have a concern about um what we're doing to 403 00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:41,640 make that better or how we can maybe expedite that. 404 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:54,160 Yeah, I have a question. It was already brought up by the public about the 405 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:59,839 agenda not being posted online in the and the previous minutes. I understand 406 00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:05,119 the discussion this past week that was supposed to be taking place. is could we 407 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:12,680 get a timeline on when we're going to get into a routine of putting the 408 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,680 information up there for the public? 409 00:39:13,359 --> 00:39:21,680 » Yeah, I spoke with uh John today um about that and they are they have a 410 00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:27,680 bunch of line items that they're still working on to finish up on the website 411 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:34,240 and that's part of it. Um, he did get the mid or the agenda 412 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:38,640 on Friday that I sent him, but that portion of the website, 413 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:42,720 I don't know if he didn't have it completed or or what, but it didn't get 414 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,960 put up there. That's why I sent Mr. Gallagher the uh 415 00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:52,720 agenda today. >> Yeah. And and that's also another thing 416 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:56,079 of when the uh the motion was approved back earlier in the year, January or 417 00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:01,520 February. Um I know there was discussion of 418 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:05,280 setting up a time frame for the agenda to be completed, not just for the 419 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:11,359 public's benefit, but for council's benefit so that we have time with it. 420 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:17,839 Could we get it up by w by noon on Wednesday of the week before the meeting 421 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:21,599 so council has at least a day and a half to look it over and recommend any 422 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:25,000 changes before it gets posted for the public. Please 423 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:38,320 well and I apologize to everybody for the agenda. I was not I again the agenda 424 00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:44,320 it falls on me when the agenda does not get um put onto the website. Um but I 425 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:48,560 thought and again I might be wrong. I thought the agendas went out to the 426 00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:52,000 council on Wednesdays. Did they go not go out to the wind? You 427 00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:56,680 might want to because I thought they did. I'm sorry. I might be wrong on 428 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,680 that. 429 00:40:56,720 --> 00:41:04,560 » Yeah, I sent it out on Wednesday. I try to start it right with you on Monday. So 430 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:08,319 I don't um I mean I can go back and look at the 431 00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:10,960 emails and send them out again uh to show everybody the time stamp, but I try 432 00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:14,720 to get it out. >> That's not the situation. It wasn't 433 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,520 complete yet. >> There was still a very preliminary 434 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,800 agenda at that point. >> Gotcha. 435 00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:25,839 Yeah. A lot of times, like I said, I apologize. We'll try to get the um get 436 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:32,720 this done, especially with the website. It's so still in its infancy. I just 437 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:39,200 remember it's what just last year we just started to do have our own website 438 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:44,000 um as of last year. So we are it's it's still moving forward but again I'll make 439 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:48,400 sure that that agenda gets on there for the next meeting. Definitely. Uh Scott, 440 00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:54,000 are you okay if I just give a small update about um the website and uh there 441 00:41:52,640 --> 00:42:00,800 there's a small committee that's been working on that? 442 00:41:54,880 --> 00:42:05,599 » Yes. Um and uh this was um uh topic of conversation at our last meeting to make 443 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:11,040 sure that these things were up. Um so uh correct uh I'm sorry that that did not 444 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:15,760 happen. Um however uh couple of things to look forward to. There will be a form 445 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:21,280 on the website in the near future. Um we'll have um a notification system uh 446 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:26,720 with like email and text message that businesses and residents can sign up 447 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:32,480 for. Um that way when we get the minutes done, we can email them to you. Um and 448 00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:36,560 uh any other pertinent information that needs to be sent uh to let businesses 449 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:40,640 know maybe there's, you know, something going on in the park or whatever. So, 450 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:44,720 um, that should be happening in the next week to have those forms up hopefully by 451 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:48,560 the next at least the next, uh, council meeting.

I just like to if nobody's gone by the 509 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:28,960 work along the river and seen what the village is clearing out down there and 510 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:33,040 the views that you're starting to get of the of the river and you can see where 511 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:36,880 the walk's going to be. It's really going to be a beautiful place down there 512 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:42,880 when it gets finished. And if you get an opportunity, you really should walk or 513 00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:49,920 drive down there and take a look at it. And again, I just to to um say just a 514 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:55,520 little bit more about that. Just as a reminder, this is something that has 515 00:47:52,160 --> 00:48:00,160 been always in the mind of having something else to attract more people 516 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:07,280 and something for our for our residents to do, especially in a continuation of 517 00:48:03,359 --> 00:48:12,240 our main street. So, that project will be at least 2,000 feet long, and I call 518 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:19,119 it a rivercape because that's what it's going to be. The uh media that's going 519 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:26,480 to be put down as a we don't know as of yet if it's what hard surface wise, but 520 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:33,200 still in in the uh infancy of that thought, there will be places to sit. 521 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:37,760 There will be overlooks and kind of like Sycamore Park Park, we could even do 522 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:42,880 something that um we can use for picnicking. So, our residents and and 523 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:49,119 alike would like to come down to the village and uh actually see our 524 00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:53,440 riverscape because there's not a lot of villages around that have a rivercape. 525 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:58,640 we were very very lucky even though we've been comparisons to some to some 526 00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:05,119 other areas or communities but now we have our own riverscape um and I think 527 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:10,800 it's a very exciting time where again uh for our residents to be able to take 528 00:49:08,319 --> 00:49:16,319 advantage of that at some point in time and have that uh riverscape available to 529 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:21,760 them. Take your families there and make sure you see the riverscape because it 530 00:49:17,839 --> 00:49:25,920 is beautiful. Anything else from the council? 531 00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:30,240 » Go ahead. >> So when that riverwalk is done, that's 532 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:34,800 going to be a like a boardwalk, right? It's is it 533 00:49:32,319 --> 00:49:37,200 » like is it a wooden boardwalk? No. Or is it a path? 534 00:49:35,599 --> 00:49:39,440 » It would be more like a path. >> Okay. 535 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:43,200 » It'll be more like a path. Now again, the media is that's going to go down the 536 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:46,640 surfacing. I don't know if it's going to be black 537 00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:51,040 topped like we just did at our other park over here or it's going to be a 538 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:55,280 concrete path. I think I'm not an engineer and I don't know what goes best 539 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:58,880 right next to our river, >> but probably black top. 540 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,440 » Black top. >> Okay, so there you go. Probably black 541 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:06,880 top, sir. >> And do you Wayne, do you have any 542 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:13,559 how long or how wide typically paths like that are? No wide. 543 00:50:10,559 --> 00:50:13,559 » Yeah. 544 00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:21,920 Well, like Mr. Stton said, I mean, thank you to your department for all your work 545 00:50:19,359 --> 00:50:26,960 doing that.
