Somebody's 183 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:03,000 all right. 184 00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:06,839 Let's go over here. 185 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,360 I'm no comments. 186 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:21,120 Um, so I did provide a quarter 3 project update and I'll just pause there if you 187 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,800 guys have any questions. It starts on page 89 188 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:29,440 and then you can ask any of the department heads if you have any 189 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:35,040 questions or about progress or updates on those things. The um items that are 190 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:39,760 in light green are obviously done and then the items in pink I assume are 191 00:13:38,079 --> 00:13:43,440 going to be carried over to the fiscal the next fiscal year most likely. So, 192 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,519 uh, with that, do you guys have any other questions on those? 193 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,320 » This is just a high level question, probably not pertaining to this 194 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:54,560 particularly, but where are we at with all the city the street stuff that we 195 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:59,120 did last school year? I know it was a multi-year project, but 196 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:02,800 we have Fourth Street. >> Oh, that's the project they're working 197 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:06,639 on right now. And we just got an update today that they're on Fourth Street and 198 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:11,360 they're >> not bowling alley. 199 00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:11,360 » And what are they? Putting a water line. 200 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,399 Okay. Yeah, I noticed that they were digging. I I assume that was all part of 201 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,240 it. >> And they're and they finished over their 202 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,240 own 203 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,480 paving greens. >> Yeah. When's the 204 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,480 » overlay? 205 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000 Yeah. 206 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,560 » Yeah. It's probably one of those things if you do it right now, it's probably 207 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:53,320 not going to it's probably better to do it in the 208 00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:53,320 spring anyways. 209 00:14:53,440 --> 00:15:02,560 Okay. Thanks. Um Okay. So, just a little bit on fiscal 210 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:07,839 year 2627 budget comments. Um, I provided you with um a quick overview on 211 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:11,040 the general fund revenues, kind of letting you see what we were last year, 212 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:16,480 where we are this year, and what our budget was. Um, I do I do think we're 213 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:20,959 going to get where we need to get. I think almost 214 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:25,440 all of them are looking on track. The only one that's not going to make 215 00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:29,519 it, but that's okay because we didn't know what we didn't know is probably the 216 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:33,120 marijuana tax. But it's also in part because it's a little bit goofy how they 217 00:15:30,959 --> 00:15:36,560 pay us. They only pay us every quarter and that's the only sales tax that we 218 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,240 get like that. So you really end up missing a couple months in their fiscal 219 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:43,920 year. So like I said, we'll get a payment in January and then we won't get 220 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:48,880 another one until April. So it's really the last payment of our fiscal year. 221 00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:51,759 It's a little bit strange. Um, and this year we'll have a lag. Next year you'll 222 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,680 kind of get like a whole year, but this year it's kind of, but we also really 223 00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:00,800 didn't know what we would get. So, you know, again, it's not a primary source 224 00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:04,560 of our revenue, but it's it's of course nonetheless helpful. So, what we what 225 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:09,680 we'll get, we'll use. Um, and then the rest of them, I think, are coming on 226 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:15,519 track. Um, the next thing is is I just put a note 227 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:20,079 in there about health insurance. Um, so the city for new people who haven't 228 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,120 heard, we're self-funded and we've we've been that way for as long as I've been 229 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:30,079 here and I think for some time before then. So, um, the a couple years ago we 230 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:35,120 embedded Big Tree into our program to modify uh to help modify our cost just 231 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:39,920 cuz primarily it was on our prescription medication. And so we're able to get to 232 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:45,920 pay the the membership fee to Big Tree and then we get all the sort of 233 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:52,240 maintenance medication for free um for the employees and then it kind of keeps 234 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:56,399 it off of our books and so it helps it helps when they go out to put our 235 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,360 insurance to bid every year. Um we also have to have an like kind of an 236 00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:03,680 aggregate deductible on our insurance right now is 79%. They'd like for you to 237 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:08,480 be at 80. That's just the reserve fund. So, in case the catastrophic happened 238 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:14,319 and everything went wrong, um you know, you hope that 239 00:17:11,919 --> 00:17:18,880 never happens, but um you're supposed to have enough to cover they like to see at 240 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:23,600 80%. We do have a little bit of a reserve fund here in the city as well as 241 00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:27,600 with uh GBH. So, we're a lot we're closer than that, but anyways, [snorts] 242 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:33,679 for those re I think that was a slight reason why our insurance kind of went up 243 00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:40,240 a little bit. So, I did do a a moderate increase for the employees. It was 244 00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:45,280 between $2 and $5 a month. So, it's $52 if you're an employee only if you're per 245 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,640 month. If it's employee, spouse, >> I don't know about all that. I just know 246 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:53,520 the number. The $455. >> That's right. So, 455, 247 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:57,600 » right? That's I think employee ch employee plus children. 248 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,520 » Mhm. I don't know the >> employee spouse I think is like 500. And 249 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:06,240 then families like about 600. So those went up $5 the contribution on their 250 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:12,080 end. Um and then we also increased our contribution $5 as well. So we donate 251 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:17,840 well we don't we give $1,20 each month per employee for insurance or per per 252 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:23,120 member. So if it's a family um other insurance information, I 253 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,880 provided the renewal quote from First State. I told you it was kind of a mixed 254 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:34,960 bag. The big the big problem is the general liability policy went up 12%. 255 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:38,799 Which it dwarf or it is grossly larger than any of our other insuranceances 256 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:42,559 that went down. So So we're we're still going to owe more. I did ask for some 257 00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:46,880 information. Um it's a it's a couple of factors. A 258 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:51,120 lot of it is external things that we continue to not be able to have any 259 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:55,760 control. Floods, tornadoes, they said terrible weather in Missouri this year, 260 00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:59,840 I guess with the tornadoes. So those sort of things, but also we get dinged 261 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,880 in the insurance agency generally because of, you know, things that happen 262 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:07,039 in Florida. Just >> the main policy with Tokyo Green looks 263 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:11,440 like it went up 20%. >> Um, it went from that 297. He told me 264 00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:12,960 12, but I guess I didn't check his math, but 265 00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:16,160 » yeah, >> and I'll double check that. 63,000. 266 00:19:15,679 --> 00:19:19,600 Yeah, >> I'll double check that number with him 267 00:19:17,919 --> 00:19:23,679 because that looks like 20% to me. That's 268 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:28,480 » Yeah. And then um the other thing is that I've been slowly doing 269 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:34,480 is when [snorts] we first started with Tokyo Marine and First State, our total 270 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:38,400 insured value of the city was like 56 million, 271 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:43,600 which again you hope the whole world doesn't get 272 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:50,240 destroyed, but 56 million would certainly not cover very much. So, I 273 00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:54,960 have been slowly increasing our total insured value on items each year, but 274 00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:58,960 every time you add more value, it goes up in price. So, I that's something I've 275 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:04,720 just been doing. Um I think we're at like 86 million now, so we're still 276 00:20:01,679 --> 00:20:07,840 probably wfully un underfunded, but again, 277 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:11,679 um >> Okay, that how often do we and I don't 278 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,960 want to open a Pandora's box here, but how often do we let that out? like do we 279 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,559 put that out for >> they bid this one this year again for 280 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:24,799 us. So we've been with first date for several years and we have bid out our 281 00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:28,880 insurance like the middleman the carrier but these guys did bid out this year our 282 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:31,520 insurance and they do several and then they and just the same with our health 283 00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:35,440 insurance. Our health insurance is bid out every year as well. 284 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:40,559 » Um and Tokyo Marine still is looks like our best offer. So and we'll probably do 285 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:47,120 honestly to bid out the insurance again next year. 286 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:50,720 » Okay. on the on the the provider. So, um 287 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:54,480 it's it's unfortunately kind of it is what it is. You really don't have much 288 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:59,200 control over it. They just tell I mean you guys all know you have car insurance 289 00:20:55,919 --> 00:21:03,440 and health insurance, too. So, um the next thing is workers comp. I've yet to 290 00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:07,919 receive a number, but we have had an excellent year again. So, thanks to all 291 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:12,880 the employees for their their really conscientious work. Um, so I think we 292 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:19,120 should continue to keep our our E- MODOD low. If you remember last year, we we 293 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:22,159 dropped down below the I think we're 86 and I think we should stay there this 294 00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:28,240 year. Sim something similar. Anything below one is excellent. So I think we 295 00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:31,360 should be doing good there. Um, and then also on Loggers, we haven't quite 296 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,960 received the increase on that. Loggers, for those of you who don't know, that's 297 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:41,919 the city's retirement. Um, it's a defined pension plan. And we last year 298 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:46,960 uh elected to raise our contribution rate till they're at the 2% modifier, 299 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:52,960 which is is a is a big deal. It's it's a good appeal to keep people here. Um, and 300 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,320 I think, you know, not very many people have a defined pension benefit plan, so 301 00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:59,520 it's kind of a nice thing for all the employees to have. There will be an 302 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,880 increase because there's an increase every year. I think it won't be as 303 00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:07,520 significant as last year cuz we had to buy up all the way to the the two 304 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:14,480 modifier, but I anticipate it still being somewhere in the five to six 7% 305 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,320 probably. Um, so that's kind of where we are on the insuranceances 306 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:22,159 [clears throat] and those of course affect all of the 307 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:26,720 all of the budgets across the board. Um, and you know, other than the the general 308 00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:31,440 liability insurance, it's it's certainly 309 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:36,159 doable and I think we can absorb it with our continued growth. So, I am uh I 310 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:40,559 didn't include it, but I was looking today. Um, 311 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,320 I feel for like the first time in several years, I can see the growth in 312 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:51,919 the city. Our water and sewer revenues are coming in um higher than I than we 313 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:56,240 anticipated. So, um, sort of heartening to see because as we get more people, 314 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,720 then it's there's more people to help spread the the necessary improvements 315 00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:05,360 over. So, hopefully that one day we can help lessen the increases as they come 316 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:09,280 across. So, I'm happy to answer any questions about those. I think next week 317 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:12,880 you'll start actually seeing some number number budget stuff. So, we're going to 318 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:19,280 talk about economic development. and that'll be Jim and um I'll have the 319 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:23,520 admin budget ready for you, debt service and the airport. So, 320 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:27,320 but I'm happy to answer any other questions if you guys have any. 321 00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:34,440 » Any concerns about uh where the year numbers are going to come in? 322 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,080 » No, I mean the year numbers are going to be what they're going to be. I have some 323 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:44,240 concerns about all of the capital costs that we have 324 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:48,799 acrewing over the next 2 or 3 years and making sure they fit. Um there are 325 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:53,760 things that we've obligated ourselves to obviously whether 326 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:59,919 by passing temporary sales taxes to do improvements or committing to do 327 00:23:55,919 --> 00:24:04,400 improvements. But um that again I I do think we're kind of 328 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,960 getting near the end of those imp improvements, those capital projects 329 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:12,159 that we have to do, particularly at Keer. Um obviously getting the $500,000 330 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:18,159 on the roundabout will really help cuz that's more money that we can put in at 331 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:22,720 Keer. Um but also we're hearing in a couple years we're going to have paid 332 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:27,200 off several coops. So some of the things that we maybe need to be improving like 333 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:32,400 parking and infrastructure on the back side of camper to accommodate some of 334 00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:36,799 that growth um will have freed up some coop some debt money that we're no 335 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,919 longer spending. The soccer field and the INI basin will be freed up. So that 336 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,200 will also help with some new sewer projects. So I think a lot of it will 337 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,919 come in at the right time. It's just going to be hoping the [clears throat] 338 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:52,559 construction and the and the bidding takes about what I think it's going to 339 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:55,840 take. But where we are in the revenues, I think they're okay. I mean, you always 340 00:24:54,400 --> 00:25:02,400 wish you were going to see a little more growth, but um there is some growth, so 341 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:07,760 that's good. Um, and I and I'm also excited to kind of see what 342 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:12,960 this year generally will be a good year for general revenues to see what happens 343 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:18,880 in our next fiscal year between um the addition of uh the ball fields there 344 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:23,440 at Brady Ballpark um the stuff with America 250, the World Cup. I'm sure 345 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:27,279 we'll get some spin-off ancillary from all of those big events. So hopefully 346 00:25:25,919 --> 00:25:31,120 next year we'll see some more growth and whether it's sustained in the long term, 347 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:36,559 we'll find out. Kate, have we have we done any financial 348 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:40,720 modeling potentially for tax revenue from the new ball fields? Do we have an 349 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:45,360 idea of what that might look like? >> No, it's it's very hard to tell. 350 00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:48,720 » And you can do I mean like Jim can has been done some modeling for us on some 351 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:53,200 things. >> Um 352 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,480 » which ball fields the the new soccer that we 353 00:25:53,840 --> 00:26:01,440 » ballpark central. I was going to say cuz I know Brady had mentioned that she had 354 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:06,159 modeled out the benefits to the city for for the for the baseball field. So 355 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,708 » I have always found sales tax a very tricky 356 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,728 » number to chase because [snorts] 357 00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:18,880 it just makes no sense. Like you you would think they'll come in and you're 358 00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:22,559 like, "Oh, it's 100 or it's 100. It's 100. Oh, it's Christmas, so now it's 359 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:26,240 300." But then all a sudden there's like 8,000 and you're like I I don't I don't 360 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,919 know what happened >> and they don't give you any information. 361 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:34,000 So is it a oneoff? Are they paying back taxes you don't know about? I mean you 362 00:26:31,679 --> 00:26:41,440 don't you just see a line item >> and um I've I used to track every month 363 00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:45,120 and in several businesses to try to see if I could find the magic thread, but I 364 00:26:43,679 --> 00:26:48,640 never found it. So I kind of just gave up. And I mean, as long as I kind of 365 00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:53,919 keep each watching each month, as long as they're steadily similar or slowly or 366 00:26:51,440 --> 00:27:00,080 trend in the right direction, um, you know, that's good. So, and yes, they do 367 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:04,400 modeling, but I've I'm yet to ever see a model and they'll be like, "Ah, yes, 368 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:09,200 here it is in our sales tax revenue." It just doesn't work that way. And um but 369 00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:14,640 again I I think the nice thing too for the city is thanks to the support of the 370 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:18,960 citizens we are you know well diversified with our revenue sources. So 371 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:22,240 we're really fortunate in that you know there's money for parks, there's money 372 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:27,279 for storm water, there's money for capital projects. So I know of course 373 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:30,240 gaming. So we have a lot of other pots. If we didn't have those things and we 374 00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:34,400 were just talking like general fund and CIP and there was no gaming I think it 375 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:40,360 would be a very different city. So, we're we're able to do a lot of things 376 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,360 because of that. So, 377 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,559 any other questions? 378 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:53,039 » City council, you got anything? 379 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,320 » Oh, me? Um, actually I do. Um, >> city clerk, 380 00:27:53,919 --> 00:28:03,120 » sorry. Um, I just want to give an update on the filing for the November or 381 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:09,039 November, gosh, April election. Um, four people have filed so far. Two for mayor, 382 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:15,200 which is Morris Carter and Mike Conway. Um, Sai Harville has filed for Ward 4 383 00:28:11,919 --> 00:28:21,279 and Andrew Coward has filed for W three. No one has filed for one or two. And the 384 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:27,000 filing period ends December 30th. Does know anyone? Send them to send them my 385 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000 way. 386 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:32,080 That's it. >> Now I've got a report. 387 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:37,919 Um, I'll try to be brief so we can move on. Um, but before you all get any phone 388 00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:42,559 calls from your constituents, I'd like to go ahead and address the council. Um, 389 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:47,279 city of Bundo made the news tonight because earlier today we initiated 390 00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:53,120 demolition on the two houses at 806 and 810 Third Street. Um, we have been in 391 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:57,279 regular coordination with Grace and with Mr. Hey at the building department, but 392 00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,640 I want to give you a quick timeline in case you catch phone calls and if 393 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:04,880 nothing else so I can preserve this timeline for the record in case anybody 394 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:09,120 at home is watching. Um, if you'll recall on April 21st, we had a city 395 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:14,320 council meeting here where property owners signed a consent order that they 396 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:20,000 would agree to obey all dangerous conditions no later than August 1st. And 397 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:23,760 in that order, it stated specifically that if those dangerous conditions 398 00:29:21,679 --> 00:29:29,120 continued to exist, the city reserved the right to demolish those buildings. 399 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:33,520 August 1st came and went with no complete abatement per the repair plan 400 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,720 that was in the order. Property owner appeared before the 401 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:44,399 council the following Monday at the August 4th council meeting and ask for 402 00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:48,080 more time. And the council was gracious enough to authorize one week for a 403 00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:53,520 property owner to secure a building permit and to immediately abate the 404 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:58,080 dangerous conditions to the satisfaction of the building inspector no later than 405 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:02,159 September 4th. [clears throat] On September 15th, our building inspector 406 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,600 did an on-site investigation and inspection, then circled back again on 407 00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:11,919 October 21st with photographs to show that no compliance of the abatement of 408 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:15,200 the dangerous conditions had been satisfied. 409 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:19,600 Thereafter, I drafted a letter to the property owner 410 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:23,520 informing him that the city was moving forward with the order from April 21st 411 00:30:22,399 --> 00:30:27,360 that the buildings were going to be demolished to remove any personal 412 00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:30,720 property therein. The city was moving forward. 413 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:34,240 Shortly after the service of that letter, Department of Natural Resources 414 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:39,600 contacted us because someone had expressed concern about the potential of 415 00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:45,039 asbestous in those properties. The city has employed Gim Environmental. We did 416 00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:49,120 our samples. We submitted them to Department of Natural Resources, came 417 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:53,440 back to where no deficiencies were found. We've secured the proper 418 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:58,640 demolition permits and initiated demolition this morning. 419 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:02,799 It made the news tonight because someone called the local television stations. 420 00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:07,600 So, I want to make the council very aware should you get any phone calls or 421 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:10,960 concerns from your constituency that the city has done everything. You all I 422 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,720 believe everyone was here at the April 21st meeting. 423 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,960 » Mhm. >> We have documented documented 424 00:31:16,399 --> 00:31:23,360 information that this was agreed upon that property owner was going to obey 425 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:28,159 the dangerous conditions by a deadline. We even extended that deadline multiple 426 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:32,880 times and the properties are now in the process of being demolished and cleaned 427 00:31:29,919 --> 00:31:36,480 up by the city per the order. Any questions? 428 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:40,080 » Has any of this information been shared with media? And if not, should we 429 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:45,840 proactively do so? >> I if they want I can draft a public 430 00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:48,000 release just >> I was watching the news before I came up 431 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,360 here. >> Yeah. 432 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:56,480 » We made the news >> again. Um, 433 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:59,279 but one of the things that I was doing prior to the meeting was making sure 434 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:03,760 that I had the documentation on the city's behalf in order someone request 435 00:32:01,679 --> 00:32:07,600 it. Obviously, it's a sunshinable. I'm happy to disclose it to any media 436 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:11,679 outlets that want it. Um, because we have written consent orders from 437 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:18,080 property owners that we weren't going to be in this situation. So, 438 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:21,440 but I I anticipate some someone out there is going to call one of you all 439 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,679 and say, "What's going on with those buildings?" So now we've got this 440 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:30,320 recorded timeline. >> Have they called you? I mean, I'm just 441 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:34,320 reading their story and it says they they tried 442 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:39,120 multiple times to reach Booneville officials. I mean, have they tried to 443 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,080 » call city hall? >> I did. Okay. 444 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,760 » I choose not to do that. >> And and if if for what it's worth, I had 445 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,640 municipal court this morning. >> Yeah. 446 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:52,720 » And um I didn't I wasn't in my office, so I don't even know if they tried to 447 00:32:49,919 --> 00:32:55,919 contact my office. But back to what Ter said, I think the best course of action 448 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,519 at this point is if they want some information, I'm happy to provide 449 00:32:57,519 --> 00:33:03,919 anything and everything cuz all it does is solidify the city's position that 450 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,559 this goes back to April 21st of this year when there was an agreement that 451 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,360 these dangerous conditions were going to be abated. And if you'll see in the 452 00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:12,000 article makes no reference to the fact that the buildings were declared 453 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,600 dangerous. >> Mhm. 454 00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:20,720 » Yeah. And I mean it it's so well documented this I can just go through 455 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:24,080 many many logs of of >> and now you can watch our YouTube video 456 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:28,240 » and they probably won't. >> Yeah. 457 00:33:25,679 --> 00:33:29,760 » So the story the story that I saw was a bit one-sided. 458 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,320 » Oh yeah. >> About preservation of log cabins. 459 00:33:31,679 --> 00:33:36,240 » Exactly. >> Um they did not talk about the fact that 460 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:40,720 the sides of the houses weren't there. So 461 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:43,679 » but if any of your constituents have any questions or concerns are welcome to 462 00:33:41,919 --> 00:33:46,960 reach out to me as well. Thank you for doing that. Yeah. So, 463 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:51,600 Brad, just one thing in the in the article, 464 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:56,320 uh, the the owner states that the permit wouldn't expire in 2026, 465 00:33:54,559 --> 00:34:00,240 February 7th of 2026. >> So, that so he's he's referencing I 466 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,159 didn't read the the online article. I watched I just watched it. He's he's 467 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:09,679 referencing the building permit and that's the building permit was what we 468 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:13,599 supposed to secure by August 11th, 7 days after our August 4th meeting. and 469 00:34:11,839 --> 00:34:17,520 that building permit would be good for six months. But the agreement on record 470 00:34:15,839 --> 00:34:21,119 was he was going to abate the dangerous conditions within 30 days first 471 00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:25,440 » and then finish that >> and then I just want clarity about that. 472 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:29,679 » Yeah. Because I made the comments prior that if he got the dangerous build the 473 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:33,919 dangerous conditions abaded, we don't care if he takes 2 years and continues 474 00:34:31,919 --> 00:34:37,520 to renew his building permits. It was the danger conditions that were the 475 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:41,119 concern for the safety and wellbeing of citizens of Boomville. Yeah, I think I 476 00:34:39,359 --> 00:34:45,119 think that's a big important distinction there is having a building permit is one 477 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:50,159 thing, but having a dangerous building hearing is a least by paying for a 478 00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:54,240 six-month building permit did not give him 6 months and and he was well aware 479 00:34:51,919 --> 00:34:57,280 of that because if you recall, I addressed him specifically at the 480 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:03,040 council meeting on August 4th and I said, "You understand no more 481 00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:07,440 continuences. This is it." And unfortunately, 482 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:12,720 September 15th, on-site inspection, October 21st on-site inspection, 483 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:19,640 Mr. A, who had the authority, directed the demolition, and we gave proper 484 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,640 notice to him. Okay. Thank you. 485 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,320 Well done, sir. Thank you, R. 486 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:39,040 All right. All right. See, public works monthly 487 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:46,240 report for November 2025. >> Just in the packet for reference. 488 00:35:41,839 --> 00:35:50,160 » Any questions or comments on it? So, it passes. Is that what we're 489 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:54,320 saying? Okay. 490 00:35:52,320 --> 00:36:01,200 Is there a motion? >> Motion to second. I know how to do that. 491 00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:04,839 It's almost like you have some practice motions in seconds.
