But then I see this transfer of ownership application 121 00:09:05,790 --> 00:09:12,790 that says that the ownership is going to be transferred to the people who, maybe not quite a year ago, 122 00:09:12,950 --> 00:09:19,570 we're in here saying, oh yeah, I already own part of this.

And so as it was presented to us, the ownership interest is moving from a 60% 155 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,900 ownership with Kiz Kizel Hill Pizza, LLC. 156 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,920 A&W construction had a 10% owner percentage. 157 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,040 Alex Rzeurski had 10% owner percentage. 158 00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:22,060 Aaron Hoster had 10% owner percentage. 159 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,900 And Grant Keener had 10%. 160 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,820 It's moving to Kizel Hill Pizza, LLC having 29.23, 161 00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:33,080 or somewhere around 29.0 something. 162 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:41,360 MW property management having 10.26 Alps or Zersky having 10.26 Andrew Inksman having 10.26 163 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:50,180 Steven Soar having 10.26 Pekaiser having 10.26 Grant Keener having 7.69 and Aaron Haastier having 2.56. 164 00:12:51,340 --> 00:13:01,200 So I'm not sure if the other people who were added to the new license ownership were maybe part of 165 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:12,720 Kiesel Hill construction LLC or maybe AMW construction LLC because the Kiesel Hill construction is coming from 60% down to approximately 30%. 166 00:13:17,020 --> 00:13:27,700 And Kaiser and Ant Anxman were not listed previously because I remember seeing their names on something that came to us. 167 00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:32,440 So that's why I'm so confused, I'm really confused. 168 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:39,100 And it was 51% that the outside entity owned at that time, 169 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,980 of the paperwork that I remember reading. 170 00:13:42,820 --> 00:13:46,280 Yeah, I'm not sure what the history of all of this is. 171 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,620 What I did is the city manager has reviewed based off of the code provisions, 172 00:13:52,380 --> 00:13:55,920 the information that was presented, and there isn't any reason 173 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,560 and the FAS to protest the transfer of the license based off of the percentage and the people 174 00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:02,200 that are listed. 175 00:14:02,940 --> 00:14:04,940 I can't speak to the history or the FAS. 176 00:14:05,580 --> 00:14:05,920 All right. 177 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,040 Anybody else have any questions? 178 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,160 Because we don't need to vote on this, right? 179 00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:13,140 All right. 180 00:14:15,810 --> 00:14:16,350 I'm sorry. 181 00:14:16,450 --> 00:14:17,210 I have my hand raised. 182 00:14:17,970 --> 00:14:19,150 Oh, I'm so sorry, Kelsey. 183 00:14:19,310 --> 00:14:19,850 I didn't see her. 184 00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:21,930 I was just waiting to hear you say something. 185 00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:22,410 I'm sorry. 186 00:14:22,510 --> 00:14:22,890 That's okay. 187 00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:31,890 Okay, so is there going to be another document because that's indicating who the remaining 188 00:14:31,890 --> 00:14:38,650 what is at 9.22% of the ownership is or does that just not matter, just for clarity 189 00:14:38,650 --> 00:14:40,190 and transparency purposes? 190 00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:46,430 The council should not expect to see any other documentation. 191 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:49,630 This is submitted to us through AMCO office. 192 00:14:49,630 --> 00:14:58,470 the code asks us to look at certain standards when we're looking at licensed transfers or renewals. 193 00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:59,930 and the owner. 194 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:19,560 Interest percentage is not something that we look at. We look to make sure that the businesses listed are compliant with our sales tax, don't owe any fees or obligations to the city and that the license itself is in compliance. Thank you. Can you point out that they don't add up to them? 195 00:15:23,410 --> 00:15:32,510 Okay. Somebody can. Whoever is in contact with Amco, regarding this, I think should say something. 196 00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:42,620 All right. Moving on to reports. Item 11.1 mayors report. I do not have a mayors report. 197 00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:46,800 At this time, moving on to 11.2 city managers report. 198 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,920 Thank you, Mayor Henderson. So, city administration with the finance team is getting coordinated 199 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:01,160 and organized in our sales tax and business registration enforcement. We're finalizing 200 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,920 with Libby's support, a contract to the third party vendor that the council approved about 201 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:12,080 a month and a half or two months ago to allow us to work with the third party vendor to initiate 202 00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:24,140 business audits. We are near finalizing that contract with some tweaks and hope to begin 203 00:16:27,060 --> 00:16:31,020 significant sales tax enforcement in the coming month or two. 204 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:39,560 We've got potential process change that we're working on to go to council as well for 205 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,720 the next meeting, which will allow a forgiveness period as we did a number of years ago for 206 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:51,920 people that are not compliant, to become compliant without the significant penalties and 207 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,640 interest that comes along with not being compliant. 208 00:16:55,540 --> 00:17:02,000 Some of our first steps in our sales tax compliance will be looking at short-term and long-term 209 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:09,520 rentals, utilizing our utility billing information to look at multi-dwelling units and making 210 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:16,540 sure that the people who own or have controlling interests in multi-dwelling units are registered 211 00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:17,560 with us. 212 00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:21,940 So we'll be bringing more to the council with that here shortly. 213 00:17:24,060 --> 00:17:28,520 We continue to work through our collective bargaining negotiations with the union. 214 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,040 We've got another meeting with them this week. I would say it's going very well. 215 00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:39,580 Everyone continues to bargain and the demeanor at the table has been very respectful. 216 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,460 I'm really thankful for the city team that is putting a lot of work and effort towards 217 00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:53,960 the collective bargaining negotiations as well as Laura and we did have a turbine maintenance 218 00:17:53,960 --> 00:18:00,300 issue twice actually within the last month. So we're working also on, we just will release 219 00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:07,620 a request for proposal tomorrow for turbine maintenance and monitoring so that we can get 220 00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:12,640 a new contract issued with the contractor, this last one expired in May. But we also want 221 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,660 have a complete overview of what's happening with the turbine as like with a car you need to change 222 00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:25,980 your belts and do regular tune-ups. Start working on a budget for long-term maintenance and repair 223 00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:33,820 of the turbine so that we can make sure that it has a long usable life. So that is built into this 224 00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:38,880 request for proposals so that when we get a contract initiated we'll be able to work with that 225 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,640 contractor to identify more than just routine maintenance. 226 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,060 We had a surprise OSHA inspection on Monday of last week. 227 00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:51,920 I'm really proud of our landfill team and the public works team for coming together 228 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,300 very quickly to organize files, documents, training records. 229 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:03,180 They were very quick to get things together, and we are working with the Ocean Compliance 230 00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:05,480 Officer right now in our responses. 231 00:19:05,740 --> 00:19:07,420 So good job to the public works team. 232 00:19:07,420 --> 00:19:11,460 The council has been very busy with the nuisance abatement procedures. 233 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:17,480 We've identified two properties at our last meeting last week, and the city is ready 234 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:25,700 and plans to perform abatement of those properties this fall, if the property owners do not declare 235 00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:33,740 or if the property owners do not become compliant with the abatement orders within the timeline. 236 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,020 We are whittling down our capital improvement projects. 237 00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:45,180 We've got really good progress on our animal control facility. 238 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,840 And I was explaining to Kevin earlier today, I'm really thankful that the kennels made it on the barge. 239 00:19:50,860 --> 00:19:54,240 It was a really tight timeline there, but they made it. 240 00:19:54,700 --> 00:20:00,020 So the animal control facility we expect to be done at the end of October or early November. 241 00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:03,160 I'm sure Bethel, friends of Canine, will appreciate having that space back. 242 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:10,240 And then the YK community center expansion, we're looking at probably a late winter completion 243 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,640 date for that project. 244 00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:18,880 We do have to, we don't, we will be the contractor, we'll be flying in new roof panels and fully 245 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,880 replacing the roof. 246 00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:27,040 In the meantime, there's mechanical work that the team is still working through and we will 247 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,680 be able to keep the roof panels that they're removing from the facility and we can use them for 248 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:37,540 other projects because they're very fancy panels. So, happy to answer questions if there are any, 249 00:20:38,140 --> 00:20:43,240 we're going to more detail with any of the projects listed. Anybody have any questions for 250 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:50,640 City Manager Strickler? Council Member Springer. Thanks. Two things. Am I the only one that's 251 00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:57,880 I guess maybe really surprised is the right phrase for how much dust has gotten kicked 252 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,420 up with the dry weather? I mean, the EK35 quit work in or what's going on there? 253 00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:10,000 Yeah, you know, I would say that we learned last year when we had the EK35 application, 254 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:17,220 that it did not perform as well as we had hoped. So I don't remember the data or statistics 255 00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:25,160 with EK-35, but the number of passes that most of our roadways have exceed 3,000 a day. 256 00:21:25,780 --> 00:21:32,780 EK-35 is not meant to withstand that kind of traffic pattern, but we worked with 257 00:21:32,780 --> 00:21:37,760 a contractor, they came out and assisted us with the application, and there was a new application process 258 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:45,040 that they tried this time in our high impact locations. But again, you know, as soon as you 259 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:51,220 grade, what has been laid down, it loses its efficacy pretty significantly. 260 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,780 And that's what we're seeing. 261 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,580 So we did get calcium chloride in on the barge. 262 00:21:57,060 --> 00:22:01,600 The team members have been short staff, so they're able to get it out of the yard, but 263 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:07,520 they have not had the team members available to make the application. 264 00:22:08,420 --> 00:22:12,540 Also, it's my understanding, and I'm not a streets and roads expert. 265 00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:19,560 but and I was checking to see if I got any text from them as we're talking about them, but to apply 266 00:22:20,260 --> 00:22:25,680 calcium chloride, you need to have you know the elements need to be like right for it and we have 267 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:35,660 had a pretty rainy summer fall. Okay yeah it does seem like a few of the roads have started to heal 268 00:22:35,660 --> 00:22:42,900 up a little bit platform-wise. And my other question was, oh yeah, how are the lights in 269 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,320 Pinkie's Park and the boardwalk they're holding up? As far as I know, they're holding up well. 270 00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:56,120 I haven't seen them on for a number of months because of the daylight, but at the end of the spring 271 00:22:56,120 --> 00:23:02,060 season, they were doing good. You know, we're going to see a little bit of movement. So the lights 272 00:23:02,060 --> 00:23:08,880 are attached to the boardwalk instead of on like a ground mount because we wanted to have some 273 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,080 flexibility. So the team does need to go out there and make sure that the line connections to each 274 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:21,320 of those aren't impacted by shifting. But as far as I know all the lights are turning on. 275 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:27,940 Thank you. Anybody else have any questions for City Manager Strickler? 276 00:23:31,010 --> 00:23:44,070 I have one or two. I was really pleased reading the, and I don't remember what they called it, 277 00:23:44,250 --> 00:23:53,160 the police department's report on Facebook, the one time, but it hasn't come out since. Do we know 278 00:23:53,160 --> 00:24:01,500 why it hasn't come out since? So no, it should be coming out every month. And when I spoke with the 279 00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:06,560 communications specialists, they were still waiting on the report from the 280 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,140 plan, the police department. So I'll have to check with public safety and ask what's 281 00:24:10,140 --> 00:24:15,680 going on, but we do intend to release it every month. Okay, that's all I have, anybody else? 282 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:27,000 Hearing and seeing no one, we'll move on to item 11. Thank you city manager's 283 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,360 trickler.

I know quite a few 304 00:26:23,610 --> 00:26:27,610 people didn't get any moves but you 305 00:26:27,610 --> 00:26:29,530 still have another chance come winter 306 00:26:29,530 --> 00:26:33,550 time so don't give up hope yet. School 307 00:26:33,550 --> 00:26:35,950 has started. I didn't mention this in 308 00:26:35,950 --> 00:26:38,990 the our last meeting but school has 309 00:26:38,990 --> 00:26:41,510 started so please everybody again be 310 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:50,130 mindful of the school zone. I don't bring kids to school in the morning anymore but I do pick 311 00:26:50,130 --> 00:26:58,010 them up and I still see quite a bit of people zooming through there. Usually when they're leaving 312 00:26:58,010 --> 00:27:03,510 because you don't see the blinking a lot when you're leaving the school areas but when you're going 313 00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:09,570 in they tend to slow down and do what they need to do but it's easy to forget so please be mindful. 314 00:27:09,570 --> 00:27:20,470 Oh and also it's illegal to go around that bump in front of the high school road. That's a double yellow line. It's illegal. I've watched an accident almost happened the other day. 315 00:27:24,290 --> 00:27:30,190 I don't think I have it. I'm sure I'll think it's something else, but at this time I have nothing else. Thank you. 316 00:27:30,870 --> 00:27:33,090 We'll move on to Councilmember Springer. 317 00:27:33,930 --> 00:27:42,990 Yeah, thanks, Madam Mayor. Yeah, it's getting darker. Kids are back in school. So what's your driving? 318 00:27:43,170 --> 00:27:45,710 And what's out for the kids? And I think that's all they got. 319 00:27:46,430 --> 00:27:49,110 Thank you, Council Member Springer, Council Member Minor. 320 00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:51,970 No comments. 321 00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:55,150 Thank you, Council Member Sheedler. 322 00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:57,590 I don't have any hint at today. 323 00:27:58,010 --> 00:27:59,630 Thank you, Council Member Keim. 324 00:28:00,910 --> 00:28:08,830 I would like to extend an appreciation to our city staff who worked on Labor Day, the 325 00:28:08,830 --> 00:28:12,910 water and sewer. That's my understanding, at least correct me if I'm wrong somebody, 326 00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:20,250 but extending some gratitude there. I did also want to remind people that children are 327 00:28:20,250 --> 00:28:26,810 also important. So our pets, I do care about the children, but I also have a dog on my own. 328 00:28:26,810 --> 00:28:31,970 make sure that you are if you're walking your dog that they're on a leash, it is a violation 329 00:28:31,970 --> 00:28:39,890 of the municipal code otherwise. It's a safety risk for everybody if your dog is off of their leash. 330 00:28:40,410 --> 00:28:47,270 So I had one more thing, but I can't think of it, so I will save it for next meeting. Thank you. 331 00:28:48,190 --> 00:28:50,190 Thank you, Council Member Kaim. 332 00:28:51,070 --> 00:28:51,890 All right. 333 00:28:54,790 --> 00:28:58,350 Moving on to item number 13 executive session. 334 00:28:58,610 --> 00:29:00,690 We do not have executive session tonight. 335 00:29:01,410 --> 00:29:03,970 So move on to item number 14 adjournment. 336 00:29:06,590 --> 00:29:07,750 I move to adjournment. 337 00:29:08,510 --> 00:29:08,770 Second. 338 00:29:11,130 --> 00:29:13,190 Thank you, Council Member Kaim. 339 00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:13,630 Sorry. 340 00:29:14,350 --> 00:29:14,730 She's there. 341 00:29:15,010 --> 00:29:17,710 And thank you, Council Member Minor. 342 00:29:17,710 --> 00:29:25,070 all those in favor please signify by saying aye aye any opposed motion carried 343 00:29:25,070 --> 00:29:29,630 thank you everybody the meeting is over at 7 p.m.
