[0:19] [clears throat]

[0:23] Yes. And preferably I think he says sidewalks

[0:28] again. That's kind of confusing to me. >> Well, I think the one right now says

[0:34] that they can't write.

[0:37] » Well, I wish somebody

[1:06] Somebody volunteered to buy the pumpkins.

[1:09] » Yes. From Joe. Exactly. Because he goes out there

[1:15] » and then have somebody go out there all day.

[1:23] public sidewalks and multi

[1:34] back. >> Thank you.

[1:35] » Good to be back. >> Stir crazy.

[1:41] » You know, you think, "Oh, I got all this time off. I'll do this, that, and the

[1:43] other thing." And then just don't have it in you to do it. Yes.

[1:57] » But you still I see kids scooters.

[2:04] Any

[2:13] morning?

[2:17] » Yes. >> How are you?

[2:23] I just went to his house to drop some stuff off and help him.

[2:55] classified as

[2:59] » we had a complaint today. Would you tell >> about

[3:04] some lady thinks that they need to be red? We're like, "What? We don't

[3:10] » Well, yeah. I said, "We don't do that anymore."

[3:12] » But there was a >> She thinks they would be like car

[3:18] like we do cards for the city, but not side by side.

[3:21] » We used to do side by side till the state got

[3:27] » because they won the money. >> Yeah.

[3:32] » Yeah. But they're not getting

[3:37] » Yeah, for sure. >> Well, you can call the county if you'd

[3:41] like, but there's nothing we can do at the city.

[3:48] We have

[3:52] no

[4:04] problem.

[4:16] Yeah, I think the biggest

[4:25] » out of the country, I mean

[4:30] gas station all the time

[4:34] » and they have to

[4:38] ride this year.

[4:42] They do some that are only like for when you go uphill or

[4:47] something. It wasn't like fully motor, but it was a lot of like

[4:59] » Yes.

[5:03] » Yes.

[5:06] » You know what's

[5:13] that we're supposed

[5:21] to have.

[5:32] » Well,

[5:37] Aren't

[5:50] you glad? Aren't you glad you're running?

[6:00] You're not the dogs will be just fine in here in

[6:05] the Yeah, >> our level of maturity,

[6:09] » you know, >> I just go out there

[6:24] » and then all of a sudden

[6:33] » Oh, no. Not when the sun They're out there now. It's amazing difference

[6:41] once that sun feels cooler. It's probably not that

[6:44] much

[6:51] » when they walk back. One of them just like it's just

[6:57] » now when I come to the door. [laughter]

[7:04] » I don't know. Do you see that?

[7:25] » Why are you here? >> Life is good.

[7:31] [laughter]

[7:40] God, I see it. Get into the 80s.

[8:15] I'm just driving by.

[8:26] » [laughter]

[8:38] » They don't think they don't know.

[8:45] couple days away. You ought to

[8:56] just go get

[9:08] up. They're on that. He's just running around.

[9:14] I can imagine

[9:18] » right. >> Oh

[9:20] » boy, that house looks a lot better. >> It's a lot of work.

[9:25] » How much work you How much time you think you have left?

[9:28] » We just Oh, no.

[9:33] Lover textured the bathroom after school today. I ran out of texture. So I sent

[9:40] Kelly to the hardware store and I sent a picture of that.

[9:45] » Oh, they'll get their money. >> He's like, "Oh, no. You don't need that.

[9:49] Just get the spray can. This will do a whole bas

[10:17] in the foundation tomorrow.

[10:22] Oh yeah.

[10:32] But the smalls >> they do.

[10:44] » You were at the last meeting. I told her I bought another house and

[10:49] » I told that last Thursday. What's the next one?

[10:58] » I bought it, walked across the yard, sold it.

[11:06] That's a little >> No, I think it's just

[11:11] » 46

[11:16] [laughter]

[11:23] city council meeting that night.

[11:28] » [laughter]

[11:38] » Oh yeah.

[11:45] » Half of them will be out on the front. Give them more room and less heat on the

[11:50] inside. >> Okay. The ones on

[11:56] the yard,

[12:02] » but when it's really hot, >> I treated it twice already.

[12:06] » You'll see them'll be

[12:15] too hot inside.

[12:19] I still got to spray it again. So, I've been working on our hot tub.

[12:26] » Did that time of year?

[12:30] » Yeah, it's been empty since winter. It broke down

[12:37] » two days ago. >> I got

[12:42] to do something with that. >> Not right now. That's too hot. Um Jerry

[12:47] Lenn every

[12:51] » John Deere John Deere and I think his wife should be able

[13:02] » or as often as we can. photos. Nice. That's extremely

[13:11] » tear.

[13:34] be good for like

[13:48] » they had the bunch of people over there

[13:57] wanted to do one final

[14:01] destroying And it was like the whole

[14:09] bass called me looked at holy

[14:17] basal.

[14:26] » Yes. >> All righty. Let's call this meeting to

[14:28] order. Like to welcome everybody tonight. Tonight is the pledge of

[14:32] allegiance to the flag of the United States of

[14:37] America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God,

[14:43] indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

[14:49] » Agenda.

[14:55] » Jennifer, yes. Josh, >> yes.

[14:57] » Jake, yes. >> Yes.

[14:59] » Yes. is a public hearing to amend chapter 76

[15:04] ordinance for the purpose of regulating transportation devices.

[15:11] » Second, >> Jennifer,

[15:14] » yes. Jake, >> yes.

[15:15] » Josh, >> yes.

[15:16] » Earl, >> yes.

[15:17] » Sean, >> yes. Any comments tonight? I got a

[15:21] question on So, it says any person under the age of 16 should not offer

[15:26] electricity.

[15:30] under 16 chain class three. What's a class three? Anybody know what?

[15:34] » Yes. >> Is that the high speed?

[15:36] » It's defined under definition. >> That's the one

[15:47] » 39 mph.

[15:56] H25C.

[16:03] Okay. 20 miles hour >> on a low speed electric bus.

[16:09] » So, the way I read this is they're still going to be allowed to ride on the

[16:13] sidewalks. Is that right?

[16:17] » No, they should be able. >> They thought we were just trying to keep

[16:20] them off the main sidewalk. >> At least off the square.

[16:24] » Well, it doesn't. It says you can designate areas that are like they

[16:31] cannot ride but I mean it's open in here but you can designate

[16:35] » areas later that's the way I understand it but

[16:39] that's a gay question >> the signage.

[16:40] » Yeah. >> Okay.

[16:42] » Yeah. I know the main qu or the main concern was that they didn't ride them

[16:46] around the square. Yeah. Because they brand new. uh if they rode them going

[16:50] down the sidewalk around town on people's sidewalks they were

[16:54] » I had someone call say they were confused and thought that we were going

[16:57] to eliminate any kids riding on electric scooters

[17:01] » primarily >> yeah that's what I thought

[17:06] » so if we want to do something about a writing on the square we just do that

[17:09] later >> yeah it's people that dismount zones

[17:13] we'll establish those >> okay another time

[17:16] » okay it's there's already something about riding on the square

[17:22] » in a different ordinance. >> So, you mean electric?

[17:26] » Well, bicycles of any type. >> Yeah.

[17:29] » So, >> is it legal to ride a bicycle around the

[17:32] square? >> No, you're supposed to get off and push

[17:34] it around. >> Even on the street? Well,

[17:37] » in the streets, >> the streets are okay, but on the

[17:40] sidewalk, you're supposed to get off and walk,

[17:42] » right? Yeah. >> Okay. So,

[17:45] » all right. Don, >> is there a minimum age that a child has

[17:48] to uh reach before they can ride these electric devices on the streets within

[17:53] the city limits? >> Not if it goes under if it's under the

[17:58] class. >> Yeah. You have an 8y old riding.

[18:04] » Well, if they're under that many miles per hour, it would be considered like a

[18:07] bicycle. >> And I don't believe that. I don't think

[18:10] there's many scooters that go over 20. No, they're not. I think I think the top

[18:14] speed um was like 26 miles an hour on those.

[18:17] » In my opinion, that's a real problem because I've seen young kids that look

[18:21] like they're younger than 10 zipping around town maybe 15, 20 miles an hour

[18:26] with total disregard for any of the rules of the road.

[18:30] » Yeah. >> And they've never been taught what the

[18:31] rules of the road are. >> No, we talked about we actually

[18:35] » I'm afraid that it's just a matter of time before we have a real tragedy

[18:40] involving those young kids. that

[18:43] » that came up that came up last meeting and it's just going to take seeing them

[18:49] do that and writing just go ahead and write tickets. So it's just like a

[18:54] bicycle. They can blow a stop sign. >> You set a minimum age to operate those

[18:58] if they wanted to >> a bicycle.

[19:01] » No, electric modes of transportation. >> Scooters I'm talking about mainly

[19:06] because they eight nine year old kids don't ride bicycle. They ride scooters.

[19:10] » Sure. >> That's what it looks like to me.

[19:13] » Yeah. But if they're going if they're going 20 miles an hour or less, that's

[19:18] the that's the same speed as essentially. It would be the same issue.

[19:24] Like if they're blowing if they're blowing a stop sign going 28 miles or

[19:28] less, it'd be like blowing a stop sign going 28 miles or less on a bicycle. You

[19:33] treat it the same, get your ticket book out, write tickets.

[19:37] » I was going to say it's my understanding that we couldn't on the roads. They had

[19:40] to follow the regular DOT guidelines, correct? That we could only um regulate

[19:45] the sidewalk. >> Yeah,

[19:46] » was my understanding. And some of the some of the roads don't

[19:51] have sidewalks. For example, there's a sidewalk in front of my house,

[19:57] » but in most cases roadway to obey the traffic laws.

[20:01] » Yes. Yeah. And we preached Grant growing up, you know.

[20:08] » Yeah. Maybe we should have the uh police

[20:12] department give a educational seminar to the elementary and and middle schools

[20:19] etiquette for these kinds of devices because there's probably more than one

[20:23] kind, isn't there? >> Yeah, actually

[20:30] work with the school and >> I mean it wasn't the whole school, but

[20:33] didn't the Christian church do something like that?

[20:35] » We did it in that but it was bicycle safety and

[20:39] Yeah, that's a great idea. I can get a hold of Mr. Steph tomorrow

[20:43] at the Christian church. Again, I would say maybe we have a presentation from

[20:48] Chase or someone saying here's the

[20:54] sooner before you know which rules actually apply to you. That's my

[20:58] understanding. different horsepower and that would that

[21:02] be a good idea when you reach out to him just to like an all assembly of him in

[21:08] front of the classes you know are divided up you know K through three and

[21:14] then four and >> the other the reason I'm so concerned

[21:17] about this is what I've said but they're awful hard to see when a little bitty

[21:21] you know kid this tall riding scooter 20 miles hour down the street they're hard

[21:26] to see what the rules are for riding them at

[21:30] night. That's another

[21:38] » night there were two in front of me that and it was past

[21:44] dusk. >> I mean, it was dark [clears throat] and

[21:47] I'm going, "Man, where's the light?" Well, if you get close enough, you can

[21:50] see it. It's about the size of a thimble, you know, on the back end of it

[21:54] blinking. And excuse me, I'm 76 years old picking that up in the night and

[22:01] when they're wearing black and everything else is black, it's pretty

[22:04] hard. >> That's that's also a state thing.

[22:09] » It's supposed to be so many feet.

[22:14] It's supposed to be visible certain distance. I think it's 300 feet. Um I

[22:19] remember national programs

[22:27] a national program that that uh we can look at also to get information to

[22:37] any other comments that

[22:42] Okay.

[22:53] » Yes. >> Yes. Jacob.

[22:55] » Yes. >> Sean.

[22:56] » Yes. >> Yes.

[22:57] » Approve first reading of chapter 76 ordinance for the purpose of regulating

[23:01] transportation devices. >> To approve first reading of chapter 76.

[23:10] » Josh. >> Yes.

[23:11] » J. Yes, >> Sean.

[23:12] » Yes. >> Yes.

[23:18] » Due to in my opinion it being a safety factor, I move to wave the second and

[23:23] third readings of chapter 76 for the purpose of regulating transportation

[23:28] devices and you guys know I don't normally do

[23:32] that.

[23:36] » Jake, >> yes.

[23:37] » Sean, >> yes.

[23:39] » Yes. >> Jennifer,

[23:40] » yes. Scott. >> Yes.

[23:47] » I had radio traffic in my ear. Um pretty much tonight um school year started. We

[23:52] tried to help out with school traffic uh issues they have. They've got a new

[23:56] obviously I don't know if you've been by there. They've done some construction up

[23:59] there. It's kind of a mess. Parking is not great to begin with and it's Morris

[24:03] now. So we're trying to be as active as we can be up there in the morning and

[24:07] afternoon. Uh, we've got High Five Friday tomorrow with the um sheriff's

[24:12] department and the hospital and we're working to fill a few vacant instructor

[24:16] roles and that's all I got. >> Jeff couldn't be here tonight, but he

[24:22] sent me an update and everything's going good on the fire

[24:26] department. They had a pretty good size fire yesterday involving hay bales,

[24:30] about 344 hay bales. Um and then on the um on the

[24:37] code side and nothing really urgent to report. He's starting to put the hammer

[24:43] down on some delinquent properties and people not mowing and not picking up

[24:46] junk around their yard. So that is his report

[24:53] center.

[24:59] » Okay. Main Street. >> Okay. Um, we had a good gem and deli

[25:03] competition last weekend, 29 entries, uh, which was a good fundraiser for the

[25:09] farmers market. We have everything ready to go for the fall festival on September

[25:14] 19th. Our last downtown cleanup will be on September 17th. Um, and we have

[25:19] started talking about ways to fundra during our hometown event as we will not

[25:24] be doing the festival of trees this year. So the last one is the ready

[25:30] project is almost complete. We're working with Rusty to get

[25:38] » in my mouth. I have seven of them. They came today in Amazon.

[25:45] » Oh, that's too bad. I don't was that because it wasn't very successful and

[25:49] people didn't do them or >> it's getting harder to get people who

[25:53] want to decorate them and the amount of money people were spending to decorate

[25:57] them was not equating to bids. So we're just

[26:04] » pretty hard to get my wife to get her 18 then before Christmas. [laughter]

[26:10] » Now that jam competition was really mean. So I taken home like three three

[26:16] things of jam from the house. Yeah. So,

[26:22] » okay. Thank you. So, DC and meeting, but I couldn't make it.

[26:29] » Is that an agenda? >> So,

[26:35] » Sean, >> yes.

[26:37] » Yes. >> Jennifer,

[26:37] » yes. >> Josh,

[26:38] » yes. >> Jay,

[26:39] » yes. >> Approve driveway agreement with the

[26:42] Davis County Community School District. >> Table that. Oh, tableabling them. Okay.

[26:51] » Approve class A retail alcohol license for RNR.

[26:58] » Motion. >> Second.

[27:02] » Earl. >> No.

[27:04] » Josh, >> yes.

[27:05] » Sean, >> yes.

[27:06] » Jennifer, >> yes. Jake,

[27:07] » yes. >> This pass and decide on jetervac truck

[27:13] department replacement plan. So, our our jitter trucks getting some age on it.

[27:20] We've got in the shop right now getting welded up so we can still use it. We did

[27:24] a couple of meetings back we did get your approval to replace the pump on it

[27:28] and spend some money on to try to get a few more years out of it and I believe

[27:32] we'll do that. It's over at Milton right now getting welded on on the tank.

[27:35] That's our biggest issue is split out. Uh that is the biggest biggest and most

[27:41] used piece of equipment we have at the city. So, I'd like to I think we could

[27:46] get another year, maybe two out of what we have. Um, but I guess moving forward,

[27:51] we started we we had one demoed the other day. We brought in a brand new one

[27:55] and demoed it Monday. Believe Monday we demoed one. So, trying to My biggest

[28:00] thing was there's so many good ones out there now. New ones cost 600 used ones

[28:05] anywhere two to four give or take. So, trying to get as much as we can out of

[28:11] this one, as much use out of it. But in the near future, I guess giving you a

[28:15] heads up that >> Did we buy ours new or did we

[28:18] » It was a used one 10 or 11 years ago, we think we 100,000 for it then.

[28:23] » So, we've gotten to maybe we might get two more years or 12 out of the used.

[28:28] » I believe we can get get a year or two out of it. But I guess in the meantime,

[28:33] uh letting you know or also asking permission to pursue investigating other

[28:39] trucks, looking into other trucks, seeing what's out there. Uh, we've had

[28:42] one truck and that's all we've ever had. So, I want you guys to demo some others,

[28:46] see what's there, see what's good or bad, talk to other cities, see what they

[28:49] have, you know, do do some do some research on before we just try to jump

[28:53] on a truck and say that's what we want. But in the hopefully not near future, we

[28:58] may have to look at borrow. I would like to borrow money to buy one instead of

[29:03] just trying to take big chunk of money to buy one all right now. Now, if we was

[29:08] to do it right now, interest rates to go through a dealership is around 4%

[29:13] for a truck and they used to put them on up to sevenyear loan. So, it would be a

[29:18] lot more feasible. I think they

[29:23] possibly distribute that across all the all the utilities that way instead of

[29:27] just hitting one one utility, but we have company cross that bridge cut to it

[29:33] kind of thing. So, I guess I would just tell you to have them

[29:38] I don't know how many different models or make or whatever probably, you know,

[29:43] have them try to, you know, try to get it down to maybe the model and make that

[29:48] they like >> that's been my goal and that's started

[29:52] doing but bring it up that in case we bring this

[29:56] one home and it it dies in a week and we put a lot of money and we probably put

[30:00] 100,000 in it in the last two years. So, I think it's going to be good. We just

[30:04] replaced the pump and now the tank and that's the two main main parts on it. So

[30:09] that was 40 going to be almost 40 grand. So I think we'll be all right for a

[30:14] while. But I guess >> Earl's got this look of despair on his

[30:18] concern what he's thinking over here. >> You know, we we've been talking about it

[30:21] for quite some time. And >> yes,

[30:24] » um I have some personal opinions about the

[30:28] truck that we have >> uh and the and that. But um also the

[30:34] fact that I think unfortunately we were just starting into a year. If we'd have

[30:39] really done this back when we were doing budgets, then we could have said, "Okay,

[30:44] we're going to set aside $100,000 this year, $100,000 next year, and $100,000 a

[30:51] third year, and you got the half half the cost of a truck saved up." Um

[30:58] uh in my mind that's the way I have to do it at home but uh

[31:04] you know and then look at that as a line item

[31:08] » and save towards. So >> I'm not sure I'm not sure I followed

[31:14] budget 100% but I don't know that we can set money aside. It's just because of

[31:18] that year we just got to say we're doing it.

[31:21] » Yeah. So it could come >> or the fact that we know that it's going

[31:24] to have to happen. So, I guess that's my point, too. My

[31:28] hopes are that we get another year or two out of it. We're good to go.

[31:31] » It sounds like even when this gun is repaired, we need to be working with

[31:34] Tommy Joe to work her magic. She she had ways of

[31:38] » we've had many.

[31:42] So I guess I just >> Yeah. No,

[31:47] » the purpose of the loan is so that um you know there is only up to $100,000 a

[31:53] year that would um be applied out of their budget. So, right now in the sewer

[31:59] fund, there isn't enough to pay for like a $500,000 truck plus the $500,000 a

[32:07] year sewer um loan for the plant itself plus the 500 that it takes to run the

[32:14] budget for the year for sewer, which is a million and a half. So, um, yeah, I

[32:18] would suggest you would either borrow the money and just budget the annual

[32:22] payment for a couple years since you don't have all your equipment or, um,

[32:26] because the one thing that I don't want to do is raise the sewer rates to pay

[32:30] the truck. So, >> right.

[32:34] » Okay. Sounds like you >> and we're only two months away from

[32:38] getting into next year's budget, so we could absolutely put it right on the

[32:41] budget for next year. But at the same time, we we hate for it

[32:45] to just die on us and we have nothing to sell but a scrap.

[32:48] » Yeah, >> it'd be nice to sell it while it's

[32:50] running and working out that way, too. >> Okay,

[32:55] » thank you. Proof quote for manhole repairs in the amount of $36,278

[33:01] from America Rehab Coding. So, you've got that paper there in your packet.

[33:05] This was something new that we're going to do. Jeremy had we got one big sewer

[33:09] project down by the country club that's manholes [clears throat]

[33:11] in bad shape and in the past we just came in usually the deep one so we

[33:17] usually bring in an excavator and pull it out of the ground and set a new one

[33:21] in and that was the what we had on just to do one manhole the old way was 39,000

[33:27] and then we Jeremy and Trent went to a convention last year for an annual

[33:31] meeting and met these people so they we found out that they can now liner they

[33:35] can put the liners in our manholes like we do our sewer lines. In the past, they

[33:40] talked to some of those people and they weren't really certified and the

[33:43] engineers wouldn't back them. So, we was afraid of it. Now, they have them that

[33:46] are working. They have good good results and they've got the backing from our

[33:50] engineers. So, we're going to do that this year 36 36. We're going to actually

[33:54] get nine nine manholes lined. That's a big plus because we got so many out

[33:59] there that are still basically a red brick red brick weld style manhole. And

[34:05] so we line them. I think Jeremy said a 30 year a 30-year

[34:10] guarantee on these liners. So it'll cost us a lot of time.

[34:14] » Obviously get nine nine for the cost of one the old way. So that's what we're

[34:18] going to put these. >> Okay. So how many is it that you're

[34:21] doing? >> This is going to be nine. Nine different

[34:26] » 36 will come out of the 350 set aside for semester.

[34:32] Move to approve.

[34:36] » Jennifer Carl. >> Yes.

[34:38] » Sean, >> yes.

[34:39] » James, >> yes.

[34:40] » Josh, >> approve asphalt overlay from Park View

[34:43] Avenue. I didn't get to pull back quick enough

[34:48] to get it in the package from Norris asphalt. Obviously, we're want to do the

[34:53] street project next year, but I think go big with the finish off the town with

[34:57] all our seal cut roads and hot mix everything. uh park view from right at

[35:02] the top of the hill down to the the seam turnaround and that also starts our it's

[35:07] a kind of in conjunction with the trails right there that goes down south. We

[35:12] cost us about $10,000 a year to maintain that just for the damage from the

[35:16] eroding that we spend on cold mix on it. So we got a quote just to just to bring

[35:21] the hot mix people into town and fix that section of road this year to go.

[35:26] So, it's the quote came in at 61,900 bucks and some change to do. It's about

[35:33] a 670 long stretch, 24 foot wide. So, it's on

[35:38] right on Q. Their price hasn't went up from what they what they did last year,

[35:42] which is a good thing. I expected it to be higher, but I know it's just it's

[35:47] just two blocks. Probably get some push back of why didn't you do my road? Why

[35:51] didn't you do my road? That one's we've got to spend another

[35:56] $10,000 on cold patch to fix before winter. So that's why we was proposing

[36:02] to try to get them in town to just do those two blocks for this year and next

[36:06] year. That's what we're going to have in the budget to finish off the whole town.

[36:11] That does does go from Franklin and that's your that's your trail. Start

[36:16] your trail goes to the trails and go east.

[36:20] Is it from Franklin or just where >> Franklin? No, it's not from Franklin.

[36:25] It's just the top of the hill. But that's where you're

[36:29] just a little based

[36:36] bic.

[36:40] » Yeah, >> it's a little it's a little higher than

[36:42] we wanted, but we also put go an inch thicker on the asphalt. We normally do a

[36:48] 3-inch overlay that doesn't get heavy traffic except the trash truck. It's on

[36:53] a hill and those trash trucks are awful. So, we got a bid for an extra inch of

[36:57] overlay on it. Will they put a curb on that or just No, they will not put curb

[37:02] on there >> just like all the other street that's

[37:04] been asphalted. >> Yes. So, people that don't go on that

[37:09] street, it's at the end of the concrete which would be Mrs. RS. That's the end

[37:15] of the concrete. And from there down to Jefferson is perfect. What is concrete?

[37:21] But from there toward bike trail is a nightmare.

[37:26] » That's the part we want to ask.

[37:30] » Is that county? That's kind

[37:36] » not the road but the properties are. >> Yeah. Where the trail starts. I believe

[37:40] that starts county down there. >> Yeah. Because I I know like Dave Mason,

[37:44] he's on that road. >> A lot of those houses are county houses.

[37:49] » So, >> one size county, one size.

[37:52] » No. >> No. The house

[37:54] » weird. >> Yes.

[37:55] » So, Ros was split. We got and we got ownership.

[37:58] » So, like for for example, for example, like Linda is here. She's town. Right

[38:05] next door is Dave Mason. He's county. >> Yep.

[38:08] » So, you know, we have that on car street.

[38:12] very

[38:19] » proposing to do those two blocks for this year and hopefully next year in May

[38:23] or June do the rest

[38:32] » yes >> Jennifer

[38:34] » yes

[38:37] » yes >> Jake

[38:39] » yes >> Josh

[38:40] » yes I'm I'm Hoping someday some third ward streets

[38:45] get done.

[38:49] » Prove 32,500 for purchase property on Chestnut

[38:53] Street.

[38:57] » You got that? >> Oh, that is uh so that's the property

[39:00] over Mr. Goodness that's in between our two properties over off Chestnut between

[39:04] Chestnut and South Street. That was we he priced it 35 to us. We counter the 30

[39:12] and then he back the 30 to buy for that property.

[39:18] It could be a good investment. I feel like it's going to say that money was

[39:23] they already have the money to do that. >> Yeah. It'll come out of the streets

[39:26] department >> for the show.

[39:34] » I'll make a motion to approve it. Second,

[39:39] » Josh, >> yes.

[39:41] » Jennifer, >> yes.

[39:42] » Jake, >> yes.

[39:43] » Sean, >> yes.

[39:44] » Earl, >> yes.

[39:46] » Street closings for homecoming parade September 25th at 2:00 p.m.

[39:54] » requested that we change that to 1:00 because the parade starts at 2. That'll

[39:59] give me time to get it cleared off. Yeah, we have

[40:05] motion to approve as amended. >> Second.

[40:11] » Earl, >> yes.

[40:12] » Gate, >> yes.

[40:13] » Jennifer, >> yes.

[40:14] » Josh, >> yes.

[40:15] » Sean, >> yes.

[40:16] » Public comments tonight. >> I have

[40:20] » Okay, perfect. If you go on Jefferson Street by the

[40:26] Legion, buy Bogle Real Estate, stop at that stop

[40:31] sign and you look up at the exchange bank three stories up,

[40:37] » the maner is falling away from the building.

[40:41] It's seriously it's the old bricks like in your sewer,

[40:46] but the front of that building is going to fall on the sidewalk. I'm not an

[40:51] engineer. But common sense, when it's cracked like this, it's leaning forward

[40:56] to the sidewalk. You go to the other end of the block, we've all seen it. They've

[41:02] got it taped off the back end of the

[41:09] » steel. >> Yes.

[41:13] the 25 to 50 of those bricks have fallen away and so the corner of that building

[41:20] has nowhere to go except down. The outside buildings

[41:26] on each side of the square wants to weather the storm. But that

[41:33] north block, >> we need to get somebody in there before

[41:37] who has that building. Does anybody know? We we did an adject request. It

[41:44] was reported that they >> I know the exchange bank has got an

[41:47] auction coming up probably because of that. I don't know whether or not

[41:50] there's a reserve on the building or or not, but

[41:54] » who currently owns the >> Josh the east. I'm not sure that the

[42:00] south one's in a new under contract. It was a [clears throat]

[42:05] » Yeah, the people living in it now are are buying it off contract. They've been

[42:10] they've been in contracts >> since

[42:13] they sold it. >> No, they still own

[42:18] the bottom line is this. >> They're not an engineer. But when you've

[42:22] got a wall cracking and leaning out just everyone in here, drive by and look and

[42:28] we'll have the same opinion. >> Is somebody doing something with that

[42:31] building into that where you guys taped it off?

[42:35] » We It was just a Jeff just asked us to do it kind of a safety thing. It it

[42:39] those look really rough on that corner. So, we're trying to keep them away from

[42:42] from that corner right there where the bricks have started falling.

[42:46] » Somebody was taking them out of there. That's why Jeff had them somebody was

[42:49] actually pulling them out and stacking them on the ground and so she had to she

[42:54] called it in and then Jeff came and put it around it. She I know that the um

[42:59] person that did the tuck pointing on some of the other buildings has visited

[43:02] her so she is in contact with the person but I don't know.

[43:09] I know that auction's what? September 25th.

[43:14] » Oh, it's >> end

[43:21] by that. [laughter] It has it has some work done on

[43:26] North. >> We may I mean what what I'm saying is

[43:31] when that auction ends it may be I haven't somebody mentioned Bruce the

[43:37] other day. You see the crack on that? So I drive by and I'm looking. I still

[43:41] haven't >> right at the top where

[43:44] » what do you call that where the about three foot is ornamental.

[43:48] » But what I was saying I mean I'm sure the owner wouldn't really like us going

[43:52] up and taking off something before the auction was over. But when the auction's

[43:56] over, we may want to make a call to them and say, "Hey,

[44:00] » yeah, >> this needs to be addressed or we're

[44:02] going to block it off." I'm guessing as they do an appraisal

[44:07] that'll probably be noted in I wrote down to ask to work with you about it.

[44:13] » Okay. As far as how to address it. >> Okay. Any other public comments?

[44:18] » Okay. Tell me Joe. >> I don't have anything here tonight other

[44:23] than I am out of the office on Tuesday. Okay. Rusty, I said all [laughter]

[44:35] » Tammy sent an update, but you're free to add more.

[44:40] » You haven't seen it. Tommy or Tammy sent an update. Either it was this morning or

[44:44] I think it was >> this morning. Sorry, it was late. Yeah.

[44:47] So, >> unless you have questions, we're good.

[44:52] » Council updates. There's a football game in town tomorrow

[44:58] um at 7 PM. Uh they are running a JV schedule, but they're running everything

[45:04] as as it was. Um they've been working really hard. So, Kelly and I have had

[45:11] we've had a lot to do with like feeding the team and stuff like that. So,

[45:17] community would be appreciated. [snorts] >> Okay.

[45:22] » All right. Any other council at least mayor comments? I'd like to apologize. I

[45:28] didn't forgot all about the high five Friday until 9:00 the night before. So,

[45:34] um, and then the next time we do the high five Friday, I'd advise we get down

[45:40] there earlier. I kind of showed up about 8. It was a nightmare getting into the

[45:45] parking lot and the traffic's bad. So, by the time I parked, I got up there and

[45:50] I missed a lot of high fives. put it for that. So, uh, so that's it. So, next

[45:55] time the mayor will do a better job or at least notify

[46:00] the the woman over here, the woman over here that saved my butt all the time.

[46:03] So, >> that's what all the kids were saying.

[46:05] They said that you missed it and you were late. They didn't understand why.

[46:10] [laughter] >> I was in this I was in this carpool lane

[46:13] thing and I'm going, "What are we doing down here? Let the kids out. Let's go."

[46:18] » They said it was okay. Everybody else >> Yeah. [laughter]

[46:23] That's all I got.

[46:28] » Yes. >> Yes.

[46:32] » Yes. Thank you.
