[3:34] Yeah.
Um, our tips spending plan was updated
[3:40] in June on the 23rd, our last meeting,
and that is also attached.
[3:45] Um, and that does have a line item of
$24,000 in there or Main Street. That'll
[3:51] come up again a little further down the
the agenda.
[3:59] Yes.
[4:02] » Any questions or comments on the study
plan?
[4:04] » Yes.
>> Yes. Economic development options. First
[4:09] one I added in here is um
Becky Beasley, Rita Se and I went
[4:16] through the police building um and
it couple weeks ago and it
[4:26] was going to check on finding a company
to come in and clean it out.
[4:32] » Well, uh Terry is I spoke with Terry
Mitchum.
[4:37] » Yeah. the chief and he's going to go in
and get his stuff cleaned out. It may
[4:42] take him a month because this is
vacation time and everything. And I'm
[4:47] going to go up I've been meaning to the
last couple weeks and look at that room
[4:52] that's got everything and see what would
be the best way to get that cleaned up.
[4:58] I don't know if it's from It's not one
department, it's from and I've even
[5:04] heard the fire department has stuff in
there. So I don't know if anybody wants
[5:08] to keep anything. I don't know. So I
will try to find out that.
[5:14] » Wonderful. Thank you.
I guess there's still interest in
[5:22] keeping it as a yes.
>> Town building and
[5:26] » um finding good uses.
>> Yes.
[5:28] » For it.
>> I have a few thoughts on that. I was
[5:32] going to send it to the comprehensive.
>> Yeah. And I'll throw out that on the um
[5:41] there's some unclear about where the
property lines are all there. Uh but
[5:47] from the
from the county GIS and the auditor
[5:53] information they have in there that it's
both 234 Main Street, which is the town
[5:59] police building, former town building,
uh but three or 632
[6:06] where Main Street
is in there, right?
[6:10] » That is also listed in our addresses.
So,
[6:15] » it it's really it's two buildings, but
it's actually kind of one building.
[6:23] » Yeah,
>> they do. And the upstairs
[6:26] of
the 632 building can only be accessed
[6:33] from the 634 building.
>> You know, a lot of them downtown are
[6:37] kind of like that.
>> Yeah. That's
[6:40] » the upstairs
over more than one building.
[6:44] » Yeah. Anyway, got a lot of buildings.
>> Yeah. The valley house before they redid
[6:49] it was like a
>> Oh, yeah.
[6:52] How far does the property line go the
other way?
[6:56] » Goes all the way to the alley. It's 165
ft deep and 35 ft wide. And the
[7:02] » is the town is that whole parking lot
towns in between the police old police
[7:09] station and Rosenberg?
>> I believe so.
[7:11] » Yeah,
>> that's what we believe.
[7:14] » Yes.
>> And seventh parking and back.
[7:18] » Yeah. Yeah.
[7:23] All right. And of course, parking out
front.
[7:29] » It's considered one partial building in
the parking lot.
[7:32] » I don't know about that if it's one or
two parcels.
[7:37] » It's not completely clear either from
the county GIS because it
[7:42] » and the county GIS is nothing to brag
about.
[7:45] » Well, right. It it does have like the
property report from the auditor's
[7:50] office in there that has some more
detail, but there may be some more
[7:56] pieces in there that the town owns is
what I'm guessing.
[8:00] » Yeah. And the canal owns some of those
parking spaces, too. The canal trail
[8:05] » in the back.
>> Okay.
[8:09] » Yeah. Yep.
All right. um had an item on here for
[8:17] ready 2.0 and I don't know that anyone I
know Rita was delving into that some if
[8:24] anyone else has any information or
anything that should be shared.
[8:32] So I I just have a quick question
if it's not pertinent and just tell me
[8:39] to shut up and I will
now I was just curious. I've been
[8:43] thinking about this because I always see
money going to the ready group and to
[8:47] the weekly group and blah blah blah.
These see I mean we pay these people a
[8:52] ton of money.
>> We don't pay ready. Ready helps us. We
[8:56] don't pay ready.
>> Oh, okay. Okay. So, we don't pay them.
[8:59] It's just weekly.
>> Yeah. Now, the county pays ready. It's
[9:05] two different things.
>> Oh. Oh, maybe that's what I meant.
[9:08] » I think so. People get confused.
>> Yeah. So, do they ever send put those
[9:13] out for bid to make sure that what we're
paying them per hour or whatever is
[9:20] » usually it's just contracts are renewed.
>> Oh, gotcha. And who manages that per se?
[9:26] Does that
>> Who manages what?
[9:28] » This the
group and the
[9:31] » Oh, the Rei Group is a is a CPA firm out
of Indie.
[9:36] » Sure. Where
>> somewhere like that. Okay. which we
[9:40] don't deal with them.
>> We don't deal with the re
[9:43] » we don't do though.
>> No, that's Kim.
[9:44] » Yeah. I'm just curious. It's like
>> um the um the Wheatly Group though uh we
[9:51] manage them.
>> Oh, okay.
[9:53] » Uh we approved an hourly not exceed
$10,000
[9:57] uh consulting agreement with them
earlier this year uh to do
[10:01] » that's not per instance. It's per year
$10,000.
[10:07] That is their limit for the year.
>> Yes.
[10:12] » And if we need them to do something that
goes over that, we have to come to an
[10:16] agreement on it.
>> Okay. Gotcha. So it's just 10,000 a
[10:20] year.
>> It's sort of like uh attorneys
[10:23] » not to exceed.
>> Yeah. It's like attorneyship.
[10:26] » Yeah. So
>> Okay. Sorry.
[10:28] » Andrew Bosn has provided some consulting
question when the conversation came
[10:33] about about acquiring or bidding
trying to purchase property. Um got
[10:39] legal advice on that as well as weekly
group advice.
[10:44] » Okay, gotcha.
>> Yeah, because
[10:48] expertise we don't.
>> Yes, everybody has expertise inside.
[10:54] » Uh the other nonbolded things down here
aren't are just in front of us. water
[11:01] line out
>> west on 52
[11:05] » the
>> P County Community
[11:10] Foundation fund uh
>> you know some of those things that we've
[11:14] made contributions historically to and
other opportunities we have out there.
[11:20] Actually, let's go down to item H.
That's our next one that involves
[11:25] action. um came to prepared a resolution
and this is in our spending plan to uh
[11:34] pay
Main Street $24,000
[11:40] and the resolution goes like this.
Whereas one of the objectives of
[11:45] Brookville redevelopment commission is
to invest and fund economic development.
[11:49] Whereas the town of Brookville has
requested Brook Redevelopment Commission
[11:53] for services provided by Main Street
Brookville Inc. related to business
[11:57] attraction and retention. Whereas the
town of Brookville has budgeted and made
[12:02] distribution to Main Street Brookville
Inc. the sum of $24,000.
[12:07] Whereas the propeller redevelopment
commission has budgeted and desires to
[12:10] pay the sum of $24,000 for services
related to business attraction and
[12:14] retention for budget year 2025.
Now therefore be it resolved by the
[12:20] Brookville redevelopment commission that
that for the aforementioned reasons the
[12:25] clerk treasurer may distribute the
summer $24,000 to Main Street Brookville
[12:29] Inc. or services related to business

[14:22] last week. It was very good. Uh the
people that came from structure point.
[14:28] They were very happy with with what they
found out and the people that they
[14:32] talked to. And I believe we're going to
have some more of that. I'm not sure
[14:37] when, but I believe there's going to be
more stakeholders come to speak.
[14:41] » Yeah, I was on the stakeholders thing,
but like I said, I was
[14:44] » think
we understood that.
[14:46] » Yeah, I um had all my notes together for
my ideas, but I didn't know if they
[14:52] wanted to wait until there's a
rescheduled one for people that didn't
[14:56] make it to that one.

there's two sets or two groups on this.
[15:28] the the the one that just met last week
which is called the
[15:33] » stakeholders and then the other one is
>> is a steering committee
[15:36] » steering committee and their
responsibility is looking at all of the
[15:40] data that the stakeholders bring and
then prioritizing how we want to
[15:45] » along with their own ideas.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
