Well, if you tell us who it is, maybe we can try to 351 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,399 help you here. Tell you if you have a leak. 352 00:29:10,159 --> 00:29:16,640 » And a lot of times when you go tell these people you got a leak, well then 353 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:19,840 you got to take your cuss. That just not it don't work out real well sometimes. I 354 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:24,559 do try to tell people if they got a leak. Most people are happy that I tell 355 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:28,399 them they have a leak and other people just don't seem to do nothing about it. 356 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,760 » My favorite is when they say, "Where's it at?" 357 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:37,679 » Yeah. I mean, it's because here we are in the situation again. Virginia Jones 358 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:40,799 has got 300galon a day le >> again. 359 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:45,760 » Again, I've been on them for over a month. I took the custom from Mike and I 360 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:51,440 just left. I said, "Mike, I just come down here to tell you that you got a 361 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:56,640 leak and he just blow bomb up on me and I just went and they have still yet to 362 00:29:54,399 --> 00:30:00,880 fix the leak." >> So there's Danny. 363 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:05,120 » Oh yeah, Danny knows it. All All of them. Denny knows it. Danny knows it. 364 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:10,080 Buddy knows it. They have two different back codes they have access to to fix 365 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,399 the problem, but nobody do nothing about it. 366 00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:15,200 » So you're seeing the same messages I saw. 367 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:19,200 » Yes. Okay, >> this is just 368 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:23,440 I I talked with the guy while I was getting my truck worked on that has 369 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:27,360 South Lawrence water. He says every six months he has to replace the guts in 370 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:32,240 his. And he says they have more ground water than they do clear water and his 371 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:38,240 bill is $60 a month. I said our bill in town with sewer is about $60. 372 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:41,440 » I replaced the guts and the lab toilet the other day and I've been here almost 373 00:30:39,679 --> 00:30:45,200 10 years and that's first time I've been replaced since I've been here. 374 00:30:43,679 --> 00:30:50,080 So we we do have hard water and that may 375 00:30:48,399 --> 00:30:54,559 smell like rotten egg sometimes but we don't have the worst water in the 376 00:30:51,919 --> 00:31:00,799 Indiana. >> And our water as far as the price is 377 00:30:57,679 --> 00:31:06,559 cheaper than most. >> Yes, it is. 378 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,520 » You're going to always have a complaint. I know 379 00:31:07,679 --> 00:31:13,440 » they're there. >> Everything on Facebook's believable. 380 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:17,679 » I know. No, it just takes one complaint and then 50 more. 381 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:22,000 » Oh, yeah. Yeah, they just explode on. >> Do you see them at the meeting? 382 00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:26,279 » No. >> And that's what we tried to tell them. 383 00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:26,279 Come 384 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:37,360 » just had to Salem's getting ready to do a major water project here soon, too, 385 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:44,080 because of the startle they had. They they had several boil things last summer 386 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:47,519 or this past year and it wasn't because of a leak either. 387 00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:50,080 » No, it was their new >> water. Yeah. Yeah. 388 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,360 » It's their new plan. >> Yeah. 389 00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:59,230 » And I heard it was going to cost upward million. 390 00:31:56,060 --> 00:31:59,230 [Music] 391 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,799 » I know. 392 00:32:04,159 --> 00:32:09,159 » Okay. I'm good. >> All right. 393 00:32:09,679 --> 00:32:13,840 » Yeah. >> I thought you point there. 394 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:18,519 » That was your turn. >> No, I don't really have anything. 395 00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:23,039 Fly right through this before we stop here. 396 00:32:22,159 --> 00:32:27,840 » Don't even >> That's because of the new trees. 397 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,840 » That's because of new trees. You can't see 398 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:40,960 » baloney. >> But I think Never hurts to get a license 399 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:43,519 plate and make sure that gets to jail. >> Never hurts. 400 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,880 » They do the same thing on Hickory. They're going to work and they fly 401 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:52,640 through there and don't stop. And I've mentioned that before. And he set up the 402 00:32:49,919 --> 00:32:56,880 other street and they knew he was there and they just slowly drove. 403 00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:01,279 » That's why I say if we would get a license number would help immensely. 404 00:32:59,679 --> 00:33:07,600 » And I think we had an issue with the parade, didn't we? Be your house. 405 00:33:03,919 --> 00:33:10,720 » Yeah. My nephew almost got ran over. >> Yeah. During the parade, cut through the 406 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,679 middle of the parade. >> Oh my goodness. 407 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:17,720 » But Adam chased him to try and get a license and couldn't catch him. 408 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:24,799 » What else? >> That's it. I don't know anything. 409 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:29,200 I just want to know what was wrong with the shelter house that we had to upgrade 410 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:35,519 to get on electric because I don't know how many times they hit us 411 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:39,679 put an electric on the shelter house. >> Okay. So, I put more plugins on because 412 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:44,320 for people up on the stage with their music, but the biggest cost was the 413 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:52,159 electrical box that they had to put out behind the the Legion 414 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:54,880 building. It was completely shot and the boys said they couldn't even believe it 415 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:59,840 worked. So they had to put up a whole brand new back air. So that was just 416 00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:03,440 tied in with the part of the money that was in the shop. 417 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:08,480 » I know we put a lot of money in that and they tell us it's not good enough and we 418 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:14,639 put more. So that's probably the fourth time that it's had to be upgraded. I 419 00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:19,119 know. I just just didn't know. But it never included the legend. No, no. That 420 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:24,000 that electrical panel out behind the Legion is our electrical panel and 421 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:27,879 that's what they used to to uh for their inflatables. 422 00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:27,879 » Okay. 423 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:35,679 » Anything else? >> That's I just you know I just 424 00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:42,159 » No, I just I just want to say you probably not noticed in the kitchen, but 425 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:46,879 MP had some employees which Mount Taber painting all in here. You see that? How 426 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:51,280 white it looks. And we're so thankful for that. But MP had employees come. 427 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:55,919 They got down the hands and knees, scrubbed the floor, scrubbed the 428 00:34:53,599 --> 00:35:00,079 cabinets, scrubbed the refrigerator. Really worked hard. I sent a thank you 429 00:34:57,839 --> 00:35:06,560 card on behalf of the Betterment Committee for their their hard work. So, 430 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,720 you know, look around and see things look clean. 431 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,760 » You got something out? >> I did think of something else. This old 432 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,880 sign out here is horrible. Oh, yes. >> Needs to go. 433 00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:21,200 » We'd like to be able to buy a digital sign. 434 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:26,320 » We're getting ready to put one in a church and I know we can't afford that, 435 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:30,400 but the old sign that's down there is better than what we've got here. So, I 436 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,359 asked if they're not going to do anything with it, which obviously 437 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:37,839 they're not. If we can have that and then have it bolted onto a metal plate 438 00:35:35,839 --> 00:35:43,119 out here in place of that old one out here. Anybody got a problem with that? 439 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:46,720 » You're getting the sign from the church? the one that's up there now at at the 440 00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:49,599 » at the Baptist church. >> At the church. Okay. 441 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,560 » Okay. And they're just going to get rid of it for nothing. Okay. 442 00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:57,680 » All right. >> Well, I understand. 443 00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:02,160 » So, if that's the truth, then I guess we maybe we ask your permission to be able 444 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:07,520 to use it out here. >> I I don't have a problem with it as long 445 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:12,400 as it's good. Darren can verify this sign here 446 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:15,760 is shot and we need >> Do you want to do we want to haul it off 447 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:19,280 or do we want to put it in storage? What do we want to do? 448 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:23,280 » We're not going to that. But I had been I've been calling around places cuz B 449 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,480 had mentioned about the electronic sign that they were wanting for the end of 450 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:30,960 the building. But the sign that they had was 40 in 451 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:34,400 » long and 18 in wide. I don't think many people were going to see much of that 452 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,839 just right up here on the end of the building unless they were stopping in 453 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:42,720 front of breaking their neck to turn around and look to see what was on. And 454 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,320 them older signs like that are just outdated. And I've been trying to call 455 00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:50,800 around and find places >> that kind of like rebuilt them. Had the 456 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:56,000 the parts to rebuild that. Yeah. Every place has pretty much gone to digital 457 00:36:53,040 --> 00:37:01,119 signs instead of olden signs. Uh there was possibly one down in 458 00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:06,560 Kentucky that we found for 500 on the internet, but I hadn't talked to to Ben 459 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:11,119 about that just yet. >> Okay. No, I I don't mind just as long as 460 00:37:09,839 --> 00:37:12,640 we, you know, deal with that appropriately. 461 00:37:11,839 --> 00:37:16,800 » Yeah. >> Okay. 462 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:23,400 » So, if you all get assigned for free, we'll figure out some way to make a 463 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,400 stand for something out here. 464 00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:29,800 » Anything else? Okay sir. 465 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:37,440 » Let your speak. All right. >> Is everybody aware that 466 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:41,359 probably is the AIM conference your statewide association of cities and 467 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:45,359 towns is going to be over French lick in a couple weeks for three days. 468 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:50,560 » That's where all the towns and cities around the state come and there 469 00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:55,440 workshops and educational workshops. Um there's CEUs for some of the 470 00:37:52,880 --> 00:38:00,720 employees can get credits for towards certifications and so it's a 471 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:06,079 great opportunity to go. They got a municipal day on Wednesday. I think it's 472 00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:11,119 like I need it's cheap for just that one day. You don't have to 473 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:16,079 do the whole conference. But there's a lot of the towns that are in the same 474 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:20,560 boat you guys are in. And there was a new bill passed by the legislature this 475 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:24,160 year that's not very favorable to cities and towns in terms of revenue. 476 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:28,480 » Yeah. >> It's shifting everything. You're getting 477 00:38:25,599 --> 00:38:31,359 more towards property tax. >> So what's the name of that organization 478 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,680 that's doing that? >> AIM. A I M. 479 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,880 » Okay. >> Accelerating Indiana municipalities. 480 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,839 » Okay. >> It used to be called IAT. Indiana 481 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,320 Association of Cities and Towns back in the day. They change the name for 482 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:48,160 whatever reason, >> but they hold this is a big annual 483 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:54,480 conference. A lot of towns are members of that. I don't know if Gamlesburg is 484 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:56,480 or not. They do. So now everything is extra to go to that. 485 00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:02,240 » Right. Right. >> It's a day well spent or a couple hours 486 00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:07,680 well spent is closed this year. So it's Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 487 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:14,160 like 21st, 22nd, 23rd of October. >> We're signed up to go to 488 00:39:09,839 --> 00:39:18,000 » Okay, good. I mean it doesn't during the day but 489 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:25,400 you we're going to run into a lot of towns your size and you know all sharing 490 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,400 the same combinations. 491 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:31,359 » Sure. >> All right. Anybody got anything else? We 492 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:34,079 need a motion to adjourn. >> Motion. 493 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:39,200 » Second. >> Cool. Thank you. 494 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:44,680 » Okay. Meeting is over. I just they're on that table and some like lost 495 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,680 and found 496 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,720 item.
