[0:00] Go.
[0:03] [Music]
[0:08] [Music]
>> Hello.
[0:11] » 6:30.
>> It's 6:30. Let's get her started.
[0:21] » Okay. You guys had a chance to look at
the September 2nd
[0:29] Yes.
>> All right. We need a motion.
[0:33] » Make a motion.
>> Second.
[0:34] » Second. All in favor say I.
>> I.
[0:40] » And then this is the addendum that And
you just need to make sure that always
[0:45] stays with it, right? Yeah. Okay.
>> Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
[0:52] » Thank you.
[0:58] All righty.
Claims anything unusual?
[1:04] » Well, we had to pay
for some more pages
[1:13] » and so forth.
>> Okay.
[1:14] » $52,168.
That's the second pay.
[1:22] » Okay. So, under the project. Yes.
>> Okay. Great.
[1:26] » Great. Great. Great.
>> Electrical improvements to the shelter
[1:31] house $2183.
[1:40] [Music]
[1:44] Bought some new mailboxes for the street
project that was on our side. $474.
[1:55] Then we bought some more um
meters and
[2:03] » bought more meters as in the
>> to finish up our
[2:11] » How many do we have left? That's not
>> uh proper.
[2:16] » 60 to 70.
>> Yeah. All in brown.
[2:19] » All right.
>> In town. What about North Brown?
[2:22] » It's all
>> It's all done.
[2:24] » Okay. Okay. So, it's just
right here in
[2:31] » I had to replace our radio with $761.
[2:38] Rest of it's just regular
[Music]
[2:42] » expenses.
Questions or discussions we need to have
[2:47] with us?
claims. No. I need a motion.
[2:53] » Motion.
>> All right. Next thing on here is our
[2:56] 2026 budget adoption.
[3:01] » Nita, you're still up.
>> All right. We had our hearing last month
[3:08] and there was no comments or no
[3:18] » rebuttals. Right.
>> Yeah.
[3:22] » So our budget is
advertised
[3:29] our
total budget
[3:36] this year for next year be $567,130
[Music]
[3:43] and that's up about $90,000.
That difference is because we've got
[3:48] extra money in rainy day. Our general
budget, actual junior operating budget
[3:54] is just a little bit less than last
>> last pass this year. And then park and
[4:02] wreck has about 30,000 more in it. So
that's the difference.
[4:07] » Okay.
>> So we just need a motion to approve it
[4:13] and second. All right. Who's going to
make a motion?
[4:17] Motion second. All in favor say I.
>> I.
[4:22] » Thank you.
[4:26] [Music]
[4:34] [Music]
>> Is that adding not here?
[4:39] » Not here.
>> Okay. Not here.
[4:42] Is there an issue with this or just is
everything given the ordinance and we
[4:48] have no struggles with this or is this
going to be a struggle? I guess no
[4:51] question.
>> Oh, in the middle.
[4:53] » Yeah. Yeah.
>> She's looking to buy a lot that
[4:59] goes
[5:04] faces Brown Street and they're on the
other side of apartments. and she said
[5:10] that she is going to purchase a new
mobile home and put there on that lot.
[5:16] » Okay.
[Music]
[5:21] » And I give her all the information and
she said she would be here but
[5:29] [Music]
[5:33] » okay. All right. Cool.
Got commonwealth on here. Matt or
[5:42] » evening.
>> It wasn't very quick, Matt. Sorry.
[5:45] » Yeah, just kidding.
>> I got a reason for you.
[5:49] » There you go.
>> Doing a little better.
[5:52] » Yeah. Matt Worth with Commonwealth
Engineers. You guys know we've worked
[5:55] here in the past on water wastewater.
It's our specialty. just I think I was
[6:00] here right maybe the very first of this
year and uh want to circle back and just
[6:06] let you know of a program that's out
there. Um it's addressing lead service
[6:10] lines. I know um you guys I don't know
as far as the inventory goes if you had
[6:16] any success or not.
>> We're
[6:19] I don't know within probably 60
customers.
[6:22] » Are you okay?
>> We're really close.
[6:24] » Good. Okay.
>> We're really close.
[6:26] » Finding much?
>> No.
[6:28] » Good. That's even better. So, um, what
I'm speaking of, the the federal
[6:32] government passed on to the state as
they usually do, um, trying to get lead
[6:37] service lines, lead water lines out of
the ground. Um, there's grant money out
[6:42] there for that. There's one more year of
it to help communities get,
[6:48] you know, get the identify
the lead
[6:53] where it is, get out of. So, um, those
are due April 5th. We're in pretty good
[6:59] shape.
>> We're really close. Good.
[7:01] » You don't think we're high risk of
finding some at certain locations?
[7:04] » Uh,
might be one or two here left in the old
[7:10] home.
>> Okay.
[7:12] » But most people have already replaced
that with plastic.
[7:16] » Okay. Good.
>> Right.
[7:18] » Lot of lot of fittings and things like
that, too. Some of the goose necks and
[7:24] in the old houses. So
>> but so the state's taking an aggressive
[7:31] approach to try to get
rid of that stuff. So
[7:37] that's one program.
Um the lead service line and then um
[7:45] wasn't sure where you stood on any other
types of water. I think they were able
[7:49] to resolve that in house
>> and do their own treatment plant. So
[7:53] that was good. So it didn't for you.
>> Not bad. Not rad at this moment.
[7:58] » Okay, that's fair. So I just like I
said, I like to stop by and steer my
[8:02] communities every once in a while and
just let let you guys know if there is
[8:06] anything out there. So that's all I'm
doing.
[8:08] » Well, something on my radar is our
leapage issues that we have, how we
[8:13] might go about the
>> next year's your next audit year. So
[8:17] » that's coming up, right? Right.
>> Yeah. I know we probably got some
[8:21] issues. Not
not as far as our water. We're not
[8:26] having any
>> but on sewer. Yes. On sewer.
[8:33] » Sewers where we would have our issues on
>> needing to do the smoke test to figure
[8:38] out where where our leaks are such as
that.
[8:43] » Yeah. That's been a while, I think.
>> Yeah.
[8:47] » So, I mean, you got an interest in doing
that. Um, usually what that does once
[8:54] you smoke gas then you buy and I coming
in here and we're treating a lot of rain
[8:58] water
that we don't need to treat,
[9:05] » but it's leaking.
>> We did that about six or seven years.
[9:09] » Yes, you did.
>> Didn't we?
[9:12] » I don't remember. I've been
see
[9:16] ago when recommendation made we didn't
act on it. Right.
[9:20] » Yeah. You got a planning grant for
>> Yeah.
[9:24] » $50,000
[9:27] something back then that we did that
identified where some were.
[9:32] » You might want to dust that off at some
point.
[9:35] » It's not getting any cheaper to treat
like that. May even have an illegal sump
[9:39] pump or two hooked up to the to the
storm system.
[9:44] So
[9:47] that's something you guys can correct
pretty quickly.
[9:50] Just want to make you aware. That's all
I got.
[9:52] » All right. Thank you, man. Hope you hope
you heal up quick.
[9:55] » I'm doing better.
>> All right.
[9:59] » All right. Uh, number four on there.
What's this black engineering
[10:05] update? What's that?
>> Okay. Um, we get our road project done,
[10:11] then we need to update our ELAP plan.
And
[10:18] Brian said he would go ahead and
through that for us and his fee would be
[10:27] not to exceed $2,000 to update our plan.
>> We want to get any more relief.
[10:35] » Okay. Okay. All right. Yes.
[10:41] » Do you need a motion on that or Okay.
Motion.
[10:46] All
>> in favor say I. I.
[10:49] » Okay. Are you good?
[10:57] » All right. Salary ordinance is the next
one.
[11:12] Did you talk about the salary ordinance
last week? I don't recall. Did you talk
[11:17] about it or did
>> No.
[11:19] » Okay.
>> This will be our first reading.
[11:22] » Okay. Well, just give us a
10,000 foot overview first before you
[11:27] read it just so we can have
conversation. Okay.
[11:30] » If we need to.
>> Okay. The council member from the
[11:33] attorney
[11:39] were basing it on an hourly increase of
a dollar per hour. That'll get us up on
[11:46] our additional hourly employee up to $15
per hour, which about the minimum
[11:55] » increase in our our
assistant
[12:02] getting her a little better.
>> Are you guys okay with with that?
[12:09] » How many? We have six.
[12:16] [Music]
And then we only have a part time. We
[12:22] used to part-time like I think
>> three
[12:25] » July started right after the 4th of
July. So July, August, September
[12:32] three months a week is what we use
the part time to help through the summer
[12:39] and
>> that's more or less to keep up with fire
[12:46] catching up on stuff. Get
>> ready for the festival.

[15:39] and make a motion and stand. Right.
Okay.
[15:44] Any additional business
[15:55] Lisa?
>> Nothing to report.
[15:57] » Okay. Thank you.
[16:01] » I did get an estimate for a brush
for our excavator if we are going to be
[16:07] maintaining the walking trail.
>> Okay.
[16:11] » Um
other than that, the estimate was for
[16:15] $6,100 an attachment.
>> That's an attachment on an shape is our
[16:20] esavator in pretty good shape. Yeah.
>> Can you drive? Okay. Or who drives it?
[16:24] You're in both of you. We both do.
So you go through and did a trim and
[16:29] then you just have to clean up
afterwards, right?
[16:31] » Yes.
>> I suspect we will have to maintain that.
[16:37] » That that's the way.
>> Yeah.
[16:40] » And we got quite a bit of woods.
>> Yeah.
[16:43] » Down through here on both sides. And
then to keep from like our last meeting
[16:48] where they was complaining about all the
horse weeds and stuff over that steep
[16:51] bank.
>> Uhhuh. Well, then that's what this
[16:54] attachment on our esavator could work
for us here on the road and working back
[16:59] and forth on the banks because we can't
get our tractor over there. Last time we
[17:03] had the tractor out, we got a flat tire
from it.
[17:06] » Is is that something we should like
maybe schedule twice a year and just do
[17:09] that? Is that the most prudent way to do
it or what's your thoughts? You know, I
[17:15] don't think we got to do it monthly or
nothing.
[17:17] » Right. Right.
>> But maybe twice a year. What do you
[17:19] think? I mean that hopefully once a year
we can possibly get by the trim and tree
[17:26] down there.
But but with the weeds here, we're
[17:31] probably going to have to do that. And
between spraying and weeds, if we can
[17:36] keep it sprayed,
>> it won't be so bad as the weeds.
[17:39] » Yeah.
>> But I'd say tree trimming, we're going
[17:42] to And plus with all these new trees
that they put in,
[17:46] uh we'll possibly be trimming a couple
times a year.
[17:49] » Yeah.
[17:52] I think 6100 would be a good investment.
>> What size? How big?
[17:56] » Uh
it's a for the size estimator we have
[18:01] what the numbers they run on it was a 42
in
[18:04] » 42 in
>> wide cutter for the hydraulic flow that
[18:09] our machine has.
>> And this would be purchased at Bon SS in
[18:15] Washington.
[18:19] Is it easy to put on and off?
>> Yeah.
[18:27] Buckets and then couple.
[18:34] » What do you think?
>> I need it.
[18:36] » You good with it? Okay. I need a motion.
>> Motion. I'll second this one. All right.
[18:41] All in favor say I. I. We're
>> good.
[18:49] use river money to do.
>> Well, that's what
[18:58] we'll buy out of river.
>> And uh I did put up oneway traffic
[19:03] signs.
That was kind of a waste of our money.
[19:10] » They pay no attention to it.
>> None whatsoever.
[19:15] » The street along railroad tree. I even
call Hey, they do not see the signs and
[19:19] they just look at me.
>> Stop sign.
[19:27] [Music]
[19:33] » It takes time to develop.
It
[19:36] » does.
[19:40] But these people
>> that makes it even harder to change.
[19:47] » You've done it all,
>> right?
[19:53] » I decided to put that out there. I
didn't
[20:02] complain about pass each other,
>> right?
[20:06] And there's really not room.
>> Yeah, there's not.
[20:10] » No, because I got a water meter that
close to the road over there and I'm
[20:13] going to have to end up switching it out
to something different because they keep
[20:16] running over it and and knocking it off
of there. So, I've got to come up with a
[20:20] different style of wood for that one
that's really close to the road there.
[20:24] They keep knocking it off.
>> Can we move it back?
[20:28] » Yeah.
>> I can't move it. That's right. It's
[20:31] there.
[Music]
[20:36] Well, then they'd be actors for
something.
[20:41] » Slow down.
[20:47] » Slow down.
>> Yeah. Let's just encourage Joe to help
[20:51] us get down.
>> I do like our new speed limit signs.
[20:55] » Okay.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I I I would like to see it.
[20:59] I don't know where Joe got looking up
two more possibly,
[21:04] but I would like to see us have a couple
more.
[21:08] » I think that's something moving more
towards maybe next year. Where's our
[21:11] next dangerous our next two dangerous
locations? I
[21:16] » I think once we get east reb black top
here in less than a month
[21:24] » they're going to pick up their speed
because it's just going to be a smoother
[21:27] surface
>> out that direction just kindly hey we
[21:32] need to slow down here they can see the
big green sign got our feet going
[21:40] » in post those red um flag flag strips or
whatever they are on top of the speed
[21:46] limit signs or did we do that?
>> No, end up did that.
[21:49] » They those are very helpful. Simple
thing but very helpful
[21:55] » and it has slowed a lot of people down
out here on the highway. But then there
[22:00] still some people that
>> don't like it.
[22:03] » Yeah, there's a lot of people Oh, that
that complain, you know, should
[22:06] shouldn't be lower than speed.
>> So, people don't like change,
[22:09] » right?
[22:13] » Anything else? That's it.
>> Okay.
[22:17] Joe's not here. Park and wreck.
[Music]
[22:22] Anything to report?
Okay. All right. And how about water
[22:30] leak adjustment?
[22:37] [Music]
[22:56] I'm just kidding.
>> Yeah, I know.
[23:03] » Five months.
>> But they paid the bill.
[23:07] » They paid the bill. They drugged their
feet on every fix. They just did fix it.
[23:12] It took them over five months to
>> Yeah, it took them over five months to
[23:17] to decide that they was going to get
after it and fix it because they finally
[23:21] climbed up where they Well, Kyle says,
"Well, we're just going to let it leak
[23:25] till it comes to the top of the ground."
Well, wouldn't it come to the top of the
[23:28] ground?
So they did finally fix it Saturday and
[23:33] somehow suspiciously they dug right one
spot and dug right straight
[23:38] and I told him that it was a shark bite
leaking and that's what he dug up.
[23:44] » So they did get a fix.
>> Okay. Well, let's just act on that.
[23:51] » It's fixed. It's fixed.
Made a motion on that.
[23:58] Is that you? AJ, you make a motion. No.
>> Okay, I will. I'll make a motion. I
[24:03] » was going to let him do
>> I'll do I'll do it. I'll do it.
[24:06] » Okay.
I'll make a motion. Look for a second.
[24:13] » Yes. I'll second.
>> Okay.
[24:15] » Grudgingly.
>> Okay. All in favor say I. All oppose say
[24:20] nay.
[24:28] All right. Two to none. Okay.
AJ, what do you bring to us? Oh, I'm
[24:34] sorry. I need a purse. All right. Sorry.
Need a purse.
[24:38] » Oh, that's all I have.
>> That's all you have?
[24:41] » Oh, there was one person.
[24:54] to the dollar store.
That's a possibility.
[24:59] » I don't think No, we're not allowed to.
I don't believe because the state has
[25:02] right away there. Yeah. I don't I don't
think that's even a possibility if we
[25:06] wanted to.
>> Now, if we had property off of that or
[25:10] the
maybe, but we don't have that.
[25:18] » Okay. Now, AJ, anything?
>> No.
[25:23] Uh me I don't tell everybody I watched
the video camera last time and it's all
[25:28] good. So if you can't attend I recommend
using that. I was texting folks. Of
[25:35] course they were paying attention to me
because I wasn't officially here anyway
[25:39] but
you know it was uh
[25:46] it it worked good. You could tell what
was going on. Okay,
[25:52] that's my feedback. Jen, where you at?
>> Just a couple questions. Um, somebody
[25:57] called me and asked about on Sycamore
down by Sudter Lane where they're
[26:03] building that new house.
>> There's like a place on the road
[26:07] » and they were asking when it would be
fixed. I told them I would ask. I had
[26:11] temples in here last week and they
haven't got back with me on the
[26:15] estimates
of patching the small patches that we
[26:20] have. The boys that done that was
supposed to have already had it fixed
[26:25] the building the new house right there
on the corner. They told me they was
[26:28] already going to have it fixed. They
haven't got it fixed. I told them that I
[26:32] had Temple coming out and that they
would be responsible for the bill. They
[26:37] finally got a little ill with me because
they didn't like that. said they was
[26:40] going to take care of it theirel, but it
still hasn't been done. So, I'm going to
[26:44] have an estimate here, I would think, in
the next few days from Temple on the
[26:47] small patching projects that we have
here in town. So,
[26:50] » how did they create it? I'm curious.
>> Uh, yeah,
[26:53] » they had put in a new sewer line across
the road to the manhole.
[27:00] » A user put a new sewer line across a
city street.
[27:08] » Yes.
[27:11] Well, they're
construction company, so I would to do
[27:15] that.
>> Okay.
[27:18] Good date on when they're going to fix
it back because it's almost too late in
[27:22] the year to even get bring in black top,
right?
[27:25] » Not quite yet. So, we're getting close
because Temples is pushing their
[27:29] » Well, they're done with their concrete
work. They're all done with concrete
[27:32] work. So, now they're going to be
milling and should be coming into black
[27:36] top. But I I would I'd pressure him for
a date and it wouldn't take anything
[27:41] more than 30 days.
>> I I guess we're just going to have to
[27:43] send them a letter because often
>> whatever it takes, but we got to make it
[27:46] seem to
>> be getting We got to make it formal to
[27:48] get it happen. Yes. Okay.
>> All right. We'll get a letter draw up
[27:52] tomorrow and get it mailed to them.
>> So I can tell the person who called me
[27:55] that you're on it.
>> I am I am working on I tried pressuring
[27:58] the boys, but they just ain't moving on
it. So I did have people in here with
[28:02] estimates last week. So that's good
because yeah, we'll I don't mind acting
[28:06] if they don't hit the date that they say
they're going to hit,
[28:09] » right?
>> Yeah.
[28:10] » And then just curious, I saw several
complaints on Facebook about water bills
[28:16] like going way out. Is something
happening like
[28:21] » people saying it went from like
15 or
[28:26] » how many people living in the household?
men and me that did look at each person
[28:31] that we seen complaining
>> and there's no like crazy leaks or
[28:34] something going on.
>> No, there's no crazy leaks but they just
[28:37] have higher water consumption. We don't
know how many people's there.
[28:41] » Yeah.
>> But we can
[28:43] » show you on our graph of just the water
they're using. One person even said
[28:46] because last month when it didn't read,
we stopped and looked in their meter
[28:51] pit. They come running outside. Well,
now you was tampering with our meter.
[28:55] want to charge us money.
>> These people
[29:00] » Facebook, they want to complain.
>> I know.
[29:02] » And then post anonymously. Well, if you
tell us who it is, maybe we can try to
[29:07] help you here. Tell you if you have a
leak.
[29:10] » And a lot of times when you go tell
these people you got a leak, well then
[29:13] you got to take your cuss. That just not
it don't work out real well sometimes. I
[29:18] do try to tell people if they got a
leak. Most people are happy that I tell
[29:22] them they have a leak and other people
just don't seem to do nothing about it.
[29:26] » My favorite is when they say, "Where's
it at?"
[29:29] » Yeah. I mean, it's because here we are
in the situation again. Virginia Jones
[29:34] has got 300galon a day le
>> again.
[29:38] » Again, I've been on them for over a
month. I took the custom from Mike and I
[29:43] just left. I said, "Mike, I just come
down here to tell you that you got a
[29:47] leak and he just blow bomb up on me and
I just went and they have still yet to
[29:54] fix the leak."
>> So there's Danny.
[29:58] » Oh yeah, Danny knows it. All All of
them. Denny knows it. Danny knows it.
[30:02] Buddy knows it. They have two different
back codes they have access to to fix
[30:07] the problem, but nobody do nothing about
it.
[30:10] » So you're seeing the same messages I
saw.
[30:13] » Yes. Okay,
>> this is just
[30:17] I I talked with the guy while I was
getting my truck worked on that has
[30:20] South Lawrence water. He says every six
months he has to replace the guts in
[30:25] his. And he says they have more ground
water than they do clear water and his
[30:29] bill is $60 a month. I said our bill in
town with sewer is about $60.
[30:35] » I replaced the guts and the lab toilet
the other day and I've been here almost
[30:39] 10 years and that's first time I've been
replaced since I've been here.
[30:43] So
we we do have hard water and that may
[30:48] smell like rotten egg sometimes but we
don't have the worst water in the
[30:51] Indiana.
>> And our water as far as the price is
[30:57] cheaper than most.
>> Yes, it is.
[31:04] » You're going to always have a complaint.
I know
[31:07] » they're there.
>> Everything on Facebook's believable.
[31:11] » I know. No, it just takes one complaint
and then 50 more.
[31:14] » Oh, yeah. Yeah, they just explode on.
>> Do you see them at the meeting?
[31:20] » No.
>> And that's what we tried to tell them.
[31:23] Come
[31:29] » just had to Salem's getting ready to do
a major water project here soon, too,
[31:34] because of the startle they had. They
they had several boil things last summer
[31:41] or this past year and it wasn't because
of a leak either.
[31:45] » No, it was their new
>> water. Yeah. Yeah.
[31:48] » It's their new plan.
>> Yeah.
[31:50] » And I heard it was going to cost upward
million.
[31:56] [Music]
[32:00] » I know.
[32:04] » Okay. I'm good.
>> All right.
[32:09] » Yeah.
>> I thought you point there.
[32:12] » That was your turn.
>> No, I don't really have anything.
[32:18] Fly right through this before we stop
here.
[32:22] » Don't even
>> That's because of the new trees.
[32:25] » That's because of new trees. You can't
see
[32:31] » baloney.
>> But I think Never hurts to get a license
[32:36] plate and make sure that gets to jail.
>> Never hurts.
[32:41] » They do the same thing on Hickory.
They're going to work and they fly
[32:44] through there and don't stop. And I've
mentioned that before. And he set up the
[32:49] other street and they knew he was there
and they just slowly drove.
[32:55] » That's why I say if we would get a
license number would help immensely.
[32:59] » And I think we had an issue with the
parade, didn't we? Be your house.
[33:03] » Yeah. My nephew almost got ran over.
>> Yeah. During the parade, cut through the
[33:09] middle of the parade.
>> Oh my goodness.
[33:11] » But Adam chased him to try and get a
license and couldn't catch him.
[33:19] » What else?
>> That's it. I don't know anything.
[33:22] I just want to know what was wrong with
the shelter house that we had to upgrade
[33:26] to get on electric because I don't know
how many times they hit us
[33:32] put an electric on the shelter house.
>> Okay. So, I put more plugins on because
[33:37] for people up on the stage with their
music, but the biggest cost was the
[33:42] electrical box that they had to put out
behind the the Legion
[33:48] building. It was completely shot and the
boys said they couldn't even believe it
[33:53] worked. So they had to put up a whole
brand new back air. So that was just
[33:57] tied in with the part of the money that
was in the shop.
[34:00] » I know we put a lot of money in that and
they tell us it's not good enough and we
[34:05] put more. So that's probably the fourth
time that it's had to be upgraded. I
[34:11] know. I just just didn't know. But it
never included the legend. No, no. That
[34:17] that electrical panel out behind the
Legion is our electrical panel and
[34:20] that's what they used to to uh for their
inflatables.
[34:24] » Okay.
[34:29] » Anything else?
>> That's I just you know I just
[34:33] » No, I just I just want to say you
probably not noticed in the kitchen, but
[34:38] MP had some employees which Mount Taber
painting all in here. You see that? How
[34:44] white it looks. And we're so thankful
for that. But MP had employees come.
[34:49] They got down the hands and knees,
scrubbed the floor, scrubbed the
[34:53] cabinets, scrubbed the refrigerator.
Really worked hard. I sent a thank you
[34:57] card on behalf of the Betterment
Committee for their their hard work. So,
[35:04] you know, look around and see things
look clean.
[35:11] » You got something out?
>> I did think of something else. This old
[35:13] sign out here is horrible. Oh, yes.
>> Needs to go.
[35:17] » We'd like to be able to buy a digital
sign.
[35:19] » We're getting ready to put one in a
church and I know we can't afford that,
[35:23] but the old sign that's down there is
better than what we've got here. So, I
[35:28] asked if they're not going to do
anything with it, which obviously
[35:31] they're not. If we can have that and
then have it bolted onto a metal plate
[35:35] out here in place of that old one out
here. Anybody got a problem with that?
[35:40] » You're getting the sign from the church?
the one that's up there now at at the
[35:45] » at the Baptist church.
>> At the church. Okay.
[35:48] » Okay. And they're just going to get rid
of it for nothing. Okay.
[35:51] » All right.
>> Well, I understand.
[35:54] » So, if that's the truth, then I guess we
maybe we ask your permission to be able
[35:59] to use it out here.
>> I I don't have a problem with it as long
[36:04] as it's
good. Darren can verify this sign here
[36:10] is shot and we need
>> Do you want to do we want to haul it off
[36:14] or do we want to put it in storage? What
do we want to do?
[36:16] » We're not going to that. But I had been
I've been calling around places cuz B
[36:21] had mentioned about the electronic sign
that they were wanting for the end of
[36:24] the building. But the sign that they had
was 40 in
[36:28] » long and 18 in wide. I don't think many
people were going to see much of that
[36:33] just right up here on the end of the
building unless they were stopping in
[36:35] front of breaking their neck to turn
around and look to see what was on. And
[36:41] them older signs like that are just
outdated. And I've been trying to call
[36:44] around and find places
>> that kind of like rebuilt them. Had the
[36:48] the parts to rebuild that. Yeah. Every
place has pretty much gone to digital
[36:53] signs instead of olden signs.
Uh there was possibly one down in
[36:58] Kentucky that we found for 500 on the
internet, but I hadn't talked to to Ben
[37:04] about that just yet.
>> Okay. No, I I don't mind just as long as
[37:09] we, you know, deal with that
appropriately.
[37:11] » Yeah.
>> Okay.
[37:15] » So, if you all get assigned for free,
we'll figure out some way to make a
[37:19] stand for something out here.
[37:23] » Anything else?
Okay sir.
[37:30] » Let your speak. All right.
>> Is everybody aware that
[37:34] probably is the AIM conference your
statewide association of cities and
[37:39] towns is going to be over French lick in
a couple weeks for three days.
[37:43] » That's where all the towns and cities
around the state come and there
[37:47] workshops and educational workshops.
Um there's CEUs for some of the
[37:52] employees can get credits
for towards certifications and so it's a
[37:59] great opportunity to go. They got a
municipal day on Wednesday. I think it's
[38:02] like I need it's cheap
for just that one day. You don't have to
[38:08] do the whole conference. But there's a
lot of the towns that are in the same
[38:13] boat you guys are in. And there was a
new bill passed by the legislature this
[38:18] year that's not very favorable to cities
and towns in terms of revenue.
[38:23] » Yeah.
>> It's shifting everything. You're getting
[38:25] more towards property tax.
>> So what's the name of that organization
[38:30] that's doing that?
>> AIM. A I M.
[38:33] » Okay.
>> Accelerating Indiana municipalities.
[38:36] » Okay.
>> It used to be called IAT. Indiana
[38:39] Association of Cities and Towns back in
the day. They change the name for
[38:43] whatever reason,
>> but they hold this is a big annual
[38:46] conference. A lot of towns are members
of that. I don't know if Gamlesburg is
[38:50] or not. They do. So now everything is
extra to go to that.
[38:55] » Right. Right.
>> It's a day well spent or a couple hours
[38:58] well spent is closed this year. So
it's Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
[39:03] like 21st, 22nd, 23rd of October.
>> We're signed up to go to
[39:09] » Okay, good. I mean it doesn't
during the day but
[39:16] you we're going to run into a lot of
towns your size and you know all sharing
[39:21] the same combinations.
[39:26] » Sure.
>> All right. Anybody got anything else? We
[39:29] need a motion to adjourn.
>> Motion.
[39:32] » Second.
>> Cool. Thank you.
[39:35] » Okay. Meeting is over. I just
they're on that table and some like lost
[39:41] and found
[39:46] item.
