[0:21] » Okay. You guys had a chance to look at the September 2nd

[1:31] house $2183.

[1:40] [Music]

[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.

[2:24] » 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.

[15:44] 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.
