1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,320
Good.

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:12,240
» Welcome to the Brian City Council
meeting on March 2nd, 26.

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:17,520
» All please stand for the pledge.
>> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:24,160
United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:29,530
under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.

6
00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:29,530
[clears throat]

7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:41,920
Um, I'd like to uh a motion to approve
the minutes of the February 16th

8
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:44,960
meeting. [cough]
>> I'll make a motion.

9
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,160
» I'll second.
>> Mary,

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,440
» yes.
>> Steve,

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,200
» yes.
>> Jim,

12
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:51,840
» yes.
>> Yes.

13
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:57,000
» Yes.
for a hearing of public concerns.

14
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,760
Hearing none,
proceed.

15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,640
Item number four, an ordinance providing
for annual appropriations.

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,759
John, would you please number and read?
Ordinance number 10, 2026, an ordinance

17
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:22,640
providing for annual appropriations for
the city of Ryan fiscal year ending

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,960
December 31, 2026,
declaring emergency.

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:33,040
There's one item in this ordinance and
I'd like uh Chief P to come up and

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,640
explain what that is.
>> Good evening.

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,560
» Good evening.
>> So, I forewarned you when I did the

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,880
annual report, we may have a more
expensive repair with the town. We sent

23
00:01:41,539 --> 00:01:47,520
[clears throat] it down for the first
repair. They looked at it and uh they

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,439
came back said, "Yes, you need to do
it." The good news is it's not 30 to

25
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:58,159
40,000. It's about 19 and a half, so
almost 20,000

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:03,560
uh in this repair.
So, that's what we're looking at with

27
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,560
this appropriation.

28
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,560
» What's the repair?
[clears throat]

29
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:16,000
Believe it or not, it's little plastic
slide blocks,

30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,400
but they all have to be custom miked and
uh they've lasted 31 years. So,

31
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,280
yeah,
>> it was good plastic.

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,440
» Yeah, it's good plastic. That's why it
costs that much. And they can't work on

33
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:32,239
it until the first repair is done
because they have to extend it to be

34
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,239
able to get to it. And that is a two
week repair. We're about halfway through

35
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:41,840
that right now. So, we're probably not
going to see it back until mid-March,

36
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,440
even with this repair done.
>> So, I assume that's on the ladder.

37
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,360
» Yes, that the tower. Yeah, it's in the
ladder section itself.

38
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:54,160
» Uh engine wise, chassis wise, we haven't
had any issues with this truck. We're

39
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:59,360
just not putting miles on it. So, those
are all good parts. It goes in and out

40
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:03,200
when we run it every week to test it.
>> Sure.

41
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,840
» Well, I'll move.
>> I'll second. Jim,

42
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,879
» yes.
>> Steve,

43
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,840
» yes.
>> Rick,

44
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,280
» yes.
>> Mary,

45
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:11,040
» yes. And John,
>> yes.

46
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:13,840
» Move to approve.
>> And I'll second.

47
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,040
» Mary,
>> yes.

48
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,319
» Rick,
>> yes.

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,519
» Jim,
>> yes.

50
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,720
» Steve,
>> yes.

51
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,319
» And
>> yes.

52
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,239
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

53
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,800
» Thank you,
>> Chief.

54
00:03:24,362 --> 00:03:32,480
[clears throat] Agenda item number five.
P's number and read. Ordinance number

55
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:37,462
11, 2026, an ordinance for the transfer
of funds for the city of Brian for the

56
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,482
month ending March 31, 2026.
[clears throat]

57
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:47,120
An ordinance providing for the transfer
of funds for the city of Ryan for the

58
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:53,920
month ending March 31, 2026.
All of the items from this transfer um

59
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:57,840
accommodate the closure of the re uh
refu and recycling fund, the

60
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,599
communications fund, and the
communications capital fund. Um, as

61
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:07,599
we've discussed now multiple times, um,
those funds are no longer needed because

62
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:12,159
those services are no longer provided,
but they hold balances.

63
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,400
And, uh,
we have determined that the balances in

64
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,799
the communications fund rightfully
belong to the electric fund, which is

65
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:24,800
where they'll end up in the c in the
communications capital fund should

66
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,520
belong in the electric capital fund,
which is where they'll end up as a

67
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:37,919
result of this. and in the refuge and
recycling about a $300,000 balance. Um

68
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:43,680
the logical and arguably best place to
put it barring any discussion from you

69
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:47,520
folks is the streets department. Um, and
we have asked uh Tyson and others

70
00:04:46,238 --> 00:04:54,479
[clears throat] to consider how that
might be used uh for a one-time since

71
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:58,720
it's a one-time influx of money um to
build it into some kind of a one-time

72
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:02,800
capital project, possibly an improvement
to their building facility or something,

73
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:10,080
not just build it into the operating
because again, it's a one-time influx of

74
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:15,560
money that the streets fund. Um,
all that we accomplished with this

75
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,560
simple little ordinance.

76
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,199
» I'll move to suspend.
>> I'll second.

77
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:26,479
» Rick,
>> yes.

78
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,600
» Jim,
>> Steve,

79
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,280
» yes.

80
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,800
» yes.
>> Yes.

81
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,520
» And I'll move to approve.
>> I'll second. [clears throat]

82
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,720

>> Yes.

86
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,960
» Thank you.

87
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:50,960
» Agenda [snorts] item number six.
>> Resolution number 19, 2026, the

88
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:55,520
resolution approving and adopting the
Williams County [cough]

89
00:05:52,560 --> 00:06:00,800
Plan and declaring an emergency.
>> Uh good evening again. I'll speak to

90
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:06,160
this. Um the there's a requirement
within the county to review this plan

91
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:10,800
periodically. uh they've been asking for
input from the city, emergency

92
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:15,840
management, LAPC, having several of
those hats have been involved with this

93
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:22,319
process over the last 6 months. Uh we've
had input from the city ranking where we

94
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:27,360
see uh hazards, natural hazards within
the county. They put together this plan.

95
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:29,280
Uh how many pages was
>> 771?

96
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,360
» Yes.
>> So I did not print it for each of you.

97
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,960
» Email that to me, would you?
>> Sure. [laughter]

98
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:40,639
We will.
>> Yeah. A a lot of a lot of it is uh

99
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:44,240
statistical data. Um looking at
populations,

100
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:49,199
uh different hazard areas, what are
probability for wind storms, tornadoes,

101
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:54,960
worst case scenario, the probability of
earthquakes, dam breaks, a lot of those

102
00:06:51,759 --> 00:07:01,360
things. And they compile it all into one
master plan. And then it requires uh an

103
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:08,560
approval to accept. then it's our turn
to uh accept that.

104
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:11,759
» Is part of this plan like of um heaven
forbid but a railroad derailment with

105
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:17,360
hazard materials.
>> This one is primarily natural disasters.

106
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:26,080
So So they're looking at at things like
uh drought uh extreme uh snow events,

107
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:32,000
floods, things of that nature. what
covers that that I just spoke of

108
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:38,960
» that is part of the LEAPC we look at as
well as the uh u man what they would

109
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:45,520
consider man-made hazards and uh those
are addressed in a different uh plan.

110
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:51,360
This is primarily the natural
hazard mitigation that is developed and

111
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,240
there's a lot of stuff there and a lot
of it is charts that you can pull online

112
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:04,919
and then some of it's just compilation
of many many um different charts

113
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:04,919
bringing them all together in one place.

114
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:11,759
» I'll move to suspend.
>> I'll second

115
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,039

00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,160
» yes.
>> And John,

124
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,160
» yes.

125
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:40,719
Item seven, uh, police annual report.
Chief, yourself.

126
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:43,880
» Evening, council. Good evening.
>> Good evening.

127
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:53,560
» So, yeah, I'll just go through the
report. I believe you all had a copy of

128
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,560
it in the packet.

129
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:02,480
As you can see, we had handled 264 car
crashes, investigations, 563 traffic

130
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:09,240
citations,
605 traffic warnings, a total of 9,22

131
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,240
calls for service.

132
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:17,519
Uh these are the personnel changes over
the year. We hired three full-time

133
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:21,839
officers, two auxiliary officers, three
part-time dispatchers,

134
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,240
one full-time officer, and one part-time
dispatcher.

135
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:30,160
» So sorry.
>> No, you're doing fine.

136
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:35,600
» The bike patrol, uh we had our hours
were down on that due to the ones that

137
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,600
had applied for it. they were part of
our field training for the new hires.

138
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:45,279
So, we weren't able to train those
officers to become um new members of the

139
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:50,240
bike team. We are in the process of
getting them trained up for or hopefully

140
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:56,920
this spring yet so they're ready to go
for summer. So, those are the numbers,

141
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,920
the hours, and miles ridden.

142
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:03,279
Uh just touching basis with the police
chaplain, that's still Pastor Michael

143
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:07,200
Elkins from New Hope Church. He's been
with us now for I believe 6 years. He

144
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:11,360
does a phenomenal job. Anytime we have a
traumatic event, we notify him. He'll

145
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:15,720
come in, speak with the officers or
speak with family members as needed.

146
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:23,839
Yeah, we are still with the Owens
Community College uh police consortium.

147
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:28,240
I I think they raised the rate to $600
this year, which is a phenomenal fee.

148
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:33,279
With that, we can send officers to a
vast array of trainings that they they

149
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:38,880
host. Um and it doesn't cost us any
additional money. So that's that's a

150
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:43,519
huge benefit. Um
overall most officers while the entire

151
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,760
department we had over 1300 hours of
training in various topics, ethics,

152
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:52,240
arrest, search and seizure, trauma and
wellness, domestic violence, vehicle

153
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:57,680
dynamics, report writing, leadership. We
had some SWAT training and uh first

154
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:04,560
first responder active shooters as well.
Um the state requires 40 hours and I we

155
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:09,519
were well above that for each officer
and also the department now has three

156
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:14,399
opata certified instructors so we can
teach courses inhouse and we we've been

157
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:19,120
doing that as well
as as mentioned I'm you're fine you

158
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:24,480
don't have to go back but the last line
on there is we are hosting several

159
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:29,200
courses um locally we we hosted our SWAT
basic training um and some courses

160
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:32,880
throughout. So, it's always nice to
bring other departments in, let them

161
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:38,079
view facilities, and everybody's always
pretty envious of the the police and

162
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:42,000
fire complex. Um, the fleet, not much
has changed there. We still have a total

163
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:47,440
of 13 vehicles, nine marked patrol, four
unmarked. The the maintenance cost, I

164
00:11:44,959 --> 00:11:52,800
believe, was within $100 of what we're
where we were at last year. The fuel

165
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:58,079
usage was pretty well spoton, and the
fuel cost, I think, was within $1,000,

166
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:02,959
if I'm not mistaken. So
that hasn't really changed.

167
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:06,600
» No, it was up. You see that? Because of
full staff levels.

168
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:19,360
» Dispatch operations. We had 723 911
calls, 48,257

169
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:22,680
radio calls, and 31,539
phone calls.

170
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:32,079
OVIs were pretty steady with where
they've always been. A total of 48

171
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:37,760
subjects subject tests were conducted on
the new machine. 27 of those were by

172
00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:42,639
Brian officers. There were additional
three subjects arrest for OBI, but

173
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:47,760
testing used other methods. Typically,
that's a a urine test if the the

174
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:54,600
machine's down for some reason. And
there was an increase of 25% in the OVI

175
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:54,600
from the previous year.

176
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:02,720
Uh again, you had the stats with you to
review for both the canines. Obviously,

177
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:07,839
we retired Tyson out in um November of
last year. So that just leaves Bane and

178
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:11,600
his hair has been out on medical leave.
So hopefully we'll we'll start seeing

179
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,600
some activity with the dog before too
long.

180
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:22,240
uh the multi-air narcotics task force
that continues to be a huge asset to

181
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:28,240
Northwest Ohio. These are just uh stats
for Detective Rathky. Um but we, you

182
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:34,480
know, we work collectively with Fulton,
Henry, Putnham, Pauline, Defiance, um

183
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,760
and obviously Williams County, and
that's just the ones in the immediate

184
00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:44,800
area. Obviously, drug dealers don't care
where the jurisdiction lines are, which

185
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:44,800
is why that task force is so important.

186
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:56,480
calls for service. Um, it looks like
it's gone up dramatically. It's just

187
00:13:52,800 --> 00:14:00,240
really we we changed uh a little bit on
how guys were handling calls and

188
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:04,320
actually showing showing their own
activity. A lot of times they were

189
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:08,880
trying not to necessarily generate a
report for a call they didn't feel they

190
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:12,160
needed to. Um, and that's just a matter
of

191
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:17,279
kind of shooting yourself in the foot.
So, we expressed, you know, if you're if

192
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:23,839
you have a call for service, you need to
make sure you're you're doing the report

193
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:30,800
on it to get the credit for it.
That's just a graph to show the uh the

194
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:35,920
call by volume by days and pretty
consistent across Sunday. I guess if

195
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:40,800
you'd have to say was a slow day that it
would be Sunday. Next slide is okay. We

196
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:46,399
had one for the hours of the day, but
that didn't change much. And then grants

197
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:52,320
for the year. Um, we did the bulletproof
fest grant program. We received 27 or

198
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:57,000
$2,73.38.
And the body worn camera grant was

199
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
$8,959.25.

200
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:05,920
So that's what we have.
Any questions?

201
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:09,240
Okay. Thank you, sir.
>> Thank you, Chief.

202
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,279
Hey, Chief.
>> I'm [clears throat] gonna I'm gonna put

203
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,279
you on the spot for a minute. Sorry,
Wes. It's not your turn.

204
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,880
» Uh, it is Wes's turn.
>> No, [laughter]

205
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:23,040
» I'm going to really put you on the spot.
Can you come back to the podium?

206
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,720
» Yeah, sure.
>> Since there's been a few articles in the

207
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720
paper,

208
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,839
there was a call for 911 service that
was really low. And I think I want to

209
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,279
explain to the council members because
they don't know. Um, cell phones and 911

210
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:44,560
calls in the city of Brian automatically
go to central dispatch. Um, if you've

211
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,399
been reading the paper,
eventually we're going to move to a

212
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:52,880
nextgen 911, which actually will
geocatch the cell phone numbers. So, if

213
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:59,440
you're in the city limits and you dial
911, it will go to our PAP at Brian PD.

214
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:05,199
So, that will increase those calls
tremendously. Um, and and they will come

215
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:09,920
to our dispatch first. So, there's been
a lot of stats and numbers that have

216
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:15,920
been thrown out. Um, and if you have
questions, please directly call the

217
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:20,480
chief on that or myself. Um, but what I
do want you to hesitate on is is those

218
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:25,360
numbers are very preliminary and they're
not 100% accurate. Um, especially the

219
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,240
estimates and cost. So, you've been
working with your team on getting

220
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,959
estimates and cost.
>> Correct.

221
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:38,800
» Correct. Yep. and um and different
versions of software and CAD as well. So

222
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:43,120
um I think one thing that we did
discover is if we would relinquish our

223
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,320
PAP
um in order to get it back, we would

224
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,560
have to get permission from the county
commissioners and long-term I don't know

225
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,800
that that's the best option for our
community um when we're all gone. Um so

226
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:59,199
that's something that we have to really
take into consideration. Is there

227
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:03,120
anything you would like to add? No, I
>> since I gave you no prep time for this

228
00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:06,480
discussion at all.
>> No, I mean that's that's fine, but yeah,

229
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:11,280
unfortunately we are still waiting on
the quotes from the various vendors to

230
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:15,039
to give you accurate numbers, I guess,
to say the least. So, but everything

231
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:20,400
else was spot on.
>> Do we know where this is headed?

232
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:24,319
» So, from my
Brian Times was my witness. I was there

233
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:29,360
to sign a proclamation
um and then I got pulled into a room

234
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:34,480
where NextGen 911 was 3 or four years
out and then all of a sudden it was Q4

235
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:38,320
of this year. However, we're not sure
that that's completely accurate. We're

236
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,600
not sure that some of the software is
going to be available and

237
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,480
» yeah, without going into the fullon
conversation with the gentleman from the

238
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:49,200
state,
>> they said the Q4 may not even happen

239
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:53,440
this year. So it just like everything
else, the state's not 100% whether it's

240
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,400
going to happen this year or not. So
>> So our hope is that we actually have

241
00:17:54,799 --> 00:18:02,480
time to build something into next year's
budget and it should be spread across a

242
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,520
few years, several year period, not just
one year, lots of money. Um and when as

243
00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:12,559
we get more details, we certainly will
keep you guys involved in that

244
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:17,039
discussion and decision making. Um and
and so we don't want you to think the

245
00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:22,080
cart got before the horse. Um there was
something that was long-term discussion

246
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:27,919
that turned into a we need to make a
decision right now that turned into a

247
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:33,360
well we've got some time. So um and in
the first time I was in the room they

248
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:40,400
they were not. So in in fairness to them
like I no stats I didn't know which CAD

249
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:45,280
software cloud anything other than I
knew that we used in digital and I knew

250
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:49,200
that I didn't need to spend half a
million dollars and you know like there

251
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:52,960
were some things in there. Um but I will
also tell you our dispatch service like

252
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:56,240
there's some
I I know you guys know this. I haven't

253
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:59,760
been shy about it. The whole time I've
been mayor, I have been talking to the

254
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:05,360
commissioners about either consolidation
or working with them to combine things

255
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:10,000
into our building. And I say that
because I think the east annex is not

256
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:15,760
something that can be
I the public can't access the east annex

257
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:19,360
at the back area where central is. And
you know, we

258
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,440
um type charges for officers all over
the county um in the middle of the night

259
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:27,520
so that no one has to come up from Brian
Municipal Court to do that at 2 a.m. We

260
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:32,000
take bond for municipal court. That
saves bed um money for CCNO for the

261
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:37,679
county commissioners when they have to
pay for that because those people don't

262
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:42,640
go to jail. Um we are the only um agency
in the entire county that has the

263
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:45,440
Intoxilizer for the OVIs. On top of
that, there's a camera there right into

264
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,960
our dispatch. So, our dispatchers
witness those. That's a state

265
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:54,799
requirement. I mean, there's a number of
things that that our 24-hour or 24/7

266
00:19:52,080 --> 00:20:00,720
building provides um that I don't think
the community should lose on

267
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:05,600
outside of the dispatch piece. So,
there's a whole lot of things in

268
00:20:01,919 --> 00:20:08,960
discussion. Um so, I didn't want those
millions of dollars discussions. I don't

269
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:13,760
think it's going to end up being like
that cost for the city of Brian. I

270
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:18,000
didn't want you to worry about that. I
know that our team and and Chief Pool's

271
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:23,200
been involved in the discussion um too.
Um we will look for

272
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,760
the best service for our community at
the best price. Um we'll try to

273
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:33,760
collaborate as much as we can with the
county. Um but we have before in the

274
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:37,520
past gone a different way because maybe
they haven't spent the dollars that

275
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,679
we're willing to spend. So we'll have to
see how it all shakes out. But you guys,

276
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:45,039
when we do have estimates, we'll be
brought into that discussion and

277
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:49,000
deliberation and decision-m. We just
don't have that for you yet.

278
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,919
But I didn't want you to keep reading
articles and think we're holding out on

279
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:59,360
you. We we truly don't have adequate
numbers for any of the dispatch

280
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,799
conversations for Brian PD.
>> Well, it didn't seem like there were any

281
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,360
adequate numbers available,
>> right,

282
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:09,760
» based upon the article. the article
numerous times indicated that this

283
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:14,320
wasn't available. This wasn't available.
So, it wasn't

284
00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:18,320
um it didn't seem like anything. It
wasn't a Brian Times issue. It wasn't

285
00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:23,039
even a City of Brian issue. It was just
they didn't have the stuff available for

286
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:25,600
the very scenarios that
>> Yeah.

287
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:30,559
» you've been talking about.
>> So, just wanted to kind of fill you in

288
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,799
» since I put you on the spot. You're
welcome. Thank you.

289
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:39,919
Okay, now it's Wes's turn. And he was so
excited. I'm sure the anxiety is just

290
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:43,679
bubbling, isn't it? Steam on it. Oh,
>> I'm sorry. [laughter]

291
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,919
» Good evening, council.
>> Good evening.

292
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,280
» 2025.

293
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,559
Yep. Just the overview that I show you
every year.

294
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:01,360
» We got to figure out how to lighten that
cuz on my screen it looks delightful.

295
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:08,880
» Yeah. Yeah.
Uh operational notes uh for 2025 total

296
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:13,440
flow 525.6
million gallons through the plant. We

297
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:19,360
had uh that's up just a little bit from
2024 but in the scope of things like

298
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:25,840
it's basically the same. So running
about the same daily average 1.441

299
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:32,480
million gallons a day through the plant
1.420 in 2024.

300
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:39,120
Uh we ran 1.617
million gallons of digested class B

301
00:22:36,159 --> 00:22:47,440
solids were dewatered through the plant.
Uh that equates to 228

302
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:54,080
tons of completely dry material. Uh 2024
it was 1.5 and 204. So we're up a little

303
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:58,960
bit there. Uh still within the
parameters of just being an average year

304
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,840
for us. And if I remember right, the dry
material is going to the landfill.

305
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:08,960
» It is. Yeah.
>> Yep.

306
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:13,600
» Uh suspended solids removal 94.5 is good
number. Uh all of these numbers are are

307
00:23:11,679 --> 00:23:18,240
really good numbers and you've heard me
in past years say the plant is just a

308
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:24,159
really good design and the thing
operates really well once you get it

309
00:23:20,159 --> 00:23:30,240
dialed in. Uh CBOD
uh 97.8 8 removal which is fantastic.

310
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:36,240
Ammonia removal 98.6
phosphorus which is one of the big

311
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:42,720
drivers for problems in the lake uh 90.9
which is a pretty respectable number

312
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:49,520
too. So plant operates well all over
through the cost and cost of treatment

313
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:53,360
per gallon is 2 cents per gallon. And if
any of you keep track of the number that

314
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:59,440
I give every year, I'm looking at you,
John, cuz you're the likely culprit.

315
00:23:55,679 --> 00:24:05,919
Normally, that's a percentage of 1%. It
might be 0.5

316
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:10,320
half a cent per gallon or point4. Um,
this number is a lot higher this year

317
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:14,080
just because it reflects the the project
that's going on out there. So, that

318
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:19,440
money gets folded into the operating
cost. So, it's a uh it's a skewered

319
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:22,320
number that we will see go back down at
some point here in the next year or two.

320
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,960
Show up a little bit.
>> So, you wanted to do it that way so you

321
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:30,720
didn't scare me,
>> right? It's still 2 cents a gallon. It's

322
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,960
a bargain.
Okay. So, the the only thing that I

323
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:39,279
really included tonight was just the
secondary treatment improvement project

324
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:44,880
because that's where all the actions
happening this year. Uh this is an

325
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:50,159
overview. The uh colored spots that you
see are where we're adding buildings or

326
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:57,919
tankage out there.
Uh the next slide will be what's getting

327
00:24:53,520 --> 00:25:02,880
demoed. That is the old 1940s plant with
a little bit of that. The north tanks

328
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:09,279
that you can see inside that rectangle
are uh where those those tanks were

329
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:13,840
built I believe in 60 to 62. And all of
them are are failing obviously. That's

330
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:18,559
why we kicked this project off. So, all
that will be gone when we're done with

331
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,559
the uh new equipment buildings that come
in.

332
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:28,720
This is uh a little bit of that tankage
that was in that rectangle there is

333
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:33,200
being demoed out. And where the
excavators are sitting, that's basically

334
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:36,880
the footprint of the new control
building is right there. So, we had to

335
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:42,080
take that old tankage all the way down
to the bottom. Was down there about 12

336
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:48,000
feet. we had to go and crushing concrete
with this this equipment. Uh LJ Irving,

337
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:53,120
they're out of Napoleon and they they do
demo work and they do it very well. So

338
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:58,320
this is this is us opening the ground.
Uh next slide, please. This is when they

339
00:25:56,159 --> 00:26:02,640
got done. They've just taken a chunk of
of the tankage out. Pretty much

340
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:07,279
everything you can see in the forefront
of that that photo is still yet to be

341
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:12,559
removed as we get a little bit further
on.

342
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:18,000
uh backfilling that hole. We had to to
back fill everything with with uh

343
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:23,039
compactable material, stone in there.
So, we we put hundreds and hundreds,

344
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:28,240
probably thousands of tons of stone in
there to give a foundation for the new

345
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:32,480
building.
Speaking of foundation, that's what this

346
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:38,240
is. This is also the control building as
it's going up.

347
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:43,279
the control building itself. Uh we're
getting a lot closer to completion on

348
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:49,520
that. The the timeline we're looking at
right now is roughly maybe the end of

349
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:53,760
March, the first week or two of uh
April, we'll we'll be moving into that

350
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:58,960
building. Then they can get on with the
demo of the old building.

351
00:26:57,039 --> 00:27:04,240
Uh this is the chemical building that
we're building out there. Um you can see

352
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:09,520
it's just just a plain jane block
structure. Uh nothing too fancy. All the

353
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:13,600
equipment sets inside and we'll get to a
picture of that.

354
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:17,760
The inside of the building kind of see
where the tankage is going to set in

355
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:23,440
there.
Uh two tanks installed. Each of those

356
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:31,520
are 5,000 gallons. We use uh alum, which
is aluminum sulfate material. And what

357
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:35,039
that's used for is it's a um a coagulant
in the water that will cause particles

358
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:41,440
to stick together and get heavier. So
they drop out of out of the the waist

359
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:47,360
stream. But it also has the effect of of
taking soluble phosphor or insoluble

360
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:51,679
phosphorus and turning it into a form of
soluble phosphorus that can settle. So

361
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:55,760
that's how we achieve a lot of the the
phosphorus removal that we do through

362
00:27:53,600 --> 00:28:00,880
the plant.
Do you think it's going to increase then

363
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:05,520
the percent from 90 up?
>> No, it'll probably ride right about the

364
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:11,919
same. That's that's generally where we
run in that range year in and year out.

365
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:16,080
Phosphorus is not terribly hard to
remove. You know, again, we can add

366
00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:22,000
alum, which is an expensive product, but
it also is the the best product for the

367
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:27,039
job. So that's why almost every plant
has some form of chemistry that they add

368
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:32,000
to get at phosphorus at the end of the
day because otherwise biologically it's

369
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:38,720
a little bit harder to break down. In
the future, at some point, somebody will

370
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:42,399
be standing here as as things go
forward,

371
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:47,760
nutrient removal will become a bigger
and bigger deal as as far as regulatory

372
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:51,840
goes because we're now really starting
to see the effect that it can have on

373
00:28:49,679 --> 00:28:58,320
large bodies of water that that these
waterheds drain into. And so they will

374
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:02,799
they will require treatment of other
things like nitrates, different

375
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:08,399
different nutrients, but nitrogen is is
a good example. And so there are

376
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:14,559
biological ways to do it. In this
project, we actually set the design up.

377
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:18,960
So if 10 years from now, EPA were to
say, "Okay, you've got to meet a lower

378
00:29:16,399 --> 00:29:23,919
standard." We've already designed the
tankage that we're building around being

379
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:27,679
able to just take the next step with it
and and get into operation instead of

380
00:29:25,919 --> 00:29:33,039
having to reinvent the wheel and build
new tankage, things like that. So, we

381
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:37,760
did get out in front of that. Timeline
wise, might be two years, might be 10

382
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:43,039
years, might be 20 years, we don't know.
But my my personal feeling on it is a

383
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:47,039
decade or so. You'll start hearing a
little bit of rumbling about it. So

384
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:52,320
hopefully we've got things set up where
it'll be a pretty much just a shoehorn

385
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:57,679
in there the equipment that we need. It
won't be ridiculously expensive or

386
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:03,279
anything like that if we played our
cards right here. So

387
00:30:01,679 --> 00:30:06,480
uh it's the outside of the chemical
building getting the brick wrap on it so

388
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:15,200
it matches [clears throat] everything
else that we got out there already.

389
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:21,679
Uh this is a thickening tank. Um the the
current tank that we have was repurposed

390
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:26,559
from a 1940s tank and that was
repurposed in the mid80s.

391
00:30:24,159 --> 00:30:31,200
The repurposed part is doing good. The
shell is falling apart around it. So it

392
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:37,360
was in failure mode. So we're we're
replacing that here with this tankage.

393
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:43,120
Another look as the walls go up on that
thickening tank.

394
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:47,840
That's total outer shell is poured
there. Uh doesn't have the railing on it

395
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:55,559
yet. That's all safety and concrete
forming that you see there.

396
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,559
Little look at the inside of it.

397
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:03,919
Uh the rebar in the outer ring of the uh
overflow for the tanks called a

398
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,919
launderer. That's what we're getting
those guys were getting ready to pour.

399
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,399
Then
>> how deep is that? 20 30 feet.

400
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:18,399
» No. No, it's actually not. I think that
is 12 ft deep. Yeah. Yep.

401
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:24,480
Uh finished concrete poured there. It
does not have the the collecting

402
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:27,919
equipment. There's a a u a geared drive
that's in there to to collect the

403
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:33,799
solids. Pull it towards the center and
that's where you pull the solids out of

404
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,799
the tank at as they settle.

405
00:31:33,919 --> 00:31:42,320
Uh this is the hole that's open for the
new aation tanks. That's about They're

406
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:47,200
probably down there about 16 or 17 ft
there.

407
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:51,440
See the rebar getting laid in for what's
called the mud mat, which is basically a

408
00:31:49,279 --> 00:32:00,039
concrete foundation that sets underneath
the tank to spread the weight of it out.

409
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,039
Walls going up on that tank.

410
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:06,559
Another shot as they move on down
through. And there's actually two tanks

411
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:11,519
there being poured. So, what we're what
we're looking at there is a is the uh

412
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:15,360
outer wall to the right hand side there.
There's no forming there, just rebar,

413
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:21,360
but that's where the center divider is
between the two tanks.

414
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:25,120
A lot of rebar in these things. Takes
forever to build them for sure. We're

415
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:30,480
still pouring concrete. They were
pouring concrete on them today. So, it's

416
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:38,880
this these photos were taken
very early fall, I believe.

417
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:43,679
just doing her one big bucket at a time.
That's concrete going in. And then you

418
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:48,399
can kind of see they they've got the the
exposed walls of the tank finished

419
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:52,320
there. There's still decking as you can
see all that bent over rebar. That's all

420
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:56,360
decking that's being poured. That's what
they were working on today.

421
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:03,000
I guess that's it.
If anybody's got any questions.

422
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,720
All right, I'll wrap it up then. Thank
you.

423
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,720
» Thank you.

424
00:33:12,159 --> 00:33:18,640
» Agenda item number eight. Mark, if you
want to give the correct wording, I
