1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,559 To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:14,200 stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,200 for all. 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,960 most. 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,960 We pray Lord that you be with every 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 business tonight. 7 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:56,120 approval of the uh October 23rd 28 8 00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:06,560 council agenda. Do I hear a motion to approve? 9 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:11,840 » Got a motion by JJ. Do I hear a second? >> Second. 10 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,000 » Second by Erica. Any discussion? All in favor say 11 00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:21,600 » I. >> All oppose like sign. 12 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:26,799 Next item is September 23rd, 2025 minutes. Do I hear a motion to approve 13 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:33,360 the amended version? >> I'll move to approve. 14 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:38,799 » All right. Do I hear a second? >> Okay. As your city clerk, it's not your 15 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,400 authority to change my minutes. your not 16 00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:48,799 » I understand >> the uh got a motion in a second to amend 17 00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:56,799 and or to approve the amended. Now the floor is open for discussion 18 00:01:51,840 --> 00:02:01,759 and the we had a question as to whether or not the item five in here was 19 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,719 approved. It is it 20 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:12,920 we want to go ahead and have a show of hands of those that voted yes on the 21 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,920 amended agenda. 22 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:24,319 Show of hands on those that voted yes. That's four. That approves the agenda. 23 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:26,640 So with that stated that's the only amendment. 24 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,520 » It doesn't work that way. >> Yes it does. 25 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,480 » No sir it does not. I'm sorry but you are incorrect. As the city clerk, I have 26 00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:39,519 already completed these minutes. And now I have to go back and add this to this 27 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:45,440 minute. So I have to be able to show that there's a history on why we voted 28 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:49,360 just now to show a history on why it you have to show that transparency. I 29 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,720 understand I'm not changing my minutes and you don't have the ability to change 30 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,680 my minutes as a city. >> I'd like 31 00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:01,239 » I have gotten legal opinion from you, municipality. I've already done that. 32 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,239 » That's [clears throat] fine. I'd like 33 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:09,920 Mayor, the council uh is asked to approve the minutes at every meeting. 34 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,879 Often times they name amendments or adjustments to them. Uh and so this was 35 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:21,640 done to correct. I see no problem with it. Council can 36 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,640 vote to change 37 00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:29,599 to the minutes or the amended minutes were 38 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,360 approved. They need to vote to strike those minutes. Then that's the only way 39 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,640 that these minutes can be changed. They need to strike that comment from there 40 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,400 and they need to vote that they are striking those comments. That's the only 41 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,799 way that the minutes can be changed because we've already have a history on 42 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,959 our minutes from before. Then he brought it up as a work session. So then I got 43 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,200 something on work session and now he brought it up at this council meeting. 44 00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:56,560 So to be able to show transparency and history of why this has happened this 45 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:01,200 way, they have to show up in the minutes. 46 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,280 Mayor, my opinion has not changed. The minutes have not been approved until the 47 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:10,000 council just did so and so those are now additional proceedings. So the October 48 00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:14,197 September 23rd >> I'm not changing 49 00:04:12,177 --> 00:04:14,197 [clears throat] 50 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,040 those 51 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:27,759 202. >> Okay. The October 14 25 minutes. I would 52 00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:31,880 entertain a motion to approve the amended version of those. 53 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,240 » Got a motion from Mark. Do I hear a second? 54 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,600 » Second. >> Got a motion from Mark and second from 55 00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:48,800 Erica. Is there any discussion on this? 56 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,160 » These minutes will not be changed either. 57 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,800 » Um, all in favor say I. 58 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:02,240 What changes are I mean what's an amendment on it? So this 59 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:08,320 » okay on the on these there is a partial transcript rather than minutes 60 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:15,440 and the um >> yes if I can on the first item uh of the 61 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:24,400 uh of the minutes as they were presented that's for resolution to authorize and 62 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:30,400 further back IRS taxes uh There are some statements here uh that I think 63 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:37,120 design captured a part of the discussion that was occurring. Um I think that's 64 00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:42,000 editorializing I think from the 65 00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:46,800 complete uh there was a there was a discussion about uh what some of the 66 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:53,680 parts of the IRS that were received the statement 67 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,639 um Mark Williams had 68 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:04,560 a statement some confusion about what some parts of that meant. Mark Williams 69 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,039 brought some clarity to that. Uh that's not included. So I think this is 70 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:15,600 partial. Uh your minutes in the past reflect uh the uh you know who made the 71 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:19,759 motion, who second the motion uh you know what the vote was. be my 72 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,919 recommendation that we do the same here because I don't think this is an 73 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:27,240 accurate portrayal of discussion that occurred on 74 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,080 your description. >> It also states in the bottom of your 75 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:37,280 minutes on the bottom of the page. It says transcriptions of the proceedings. 76 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:43,919 It says that on every single one of my minutes as well. So 77 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:50,000 » all in favor say I. So, we'reing the original. 78 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:56,080 » So, there's a um there's one of them that's an original and there's one of 79 00:06:51,919 --> 00:07:01,520 them that is um that doesn't have that highlighted 80 00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:05,360 paragraph. Uh and it just has to vote, you know, who made the motion, who made 81 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:09,280 the second and the vote count for that particular body and it doesn't include 82 00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:12,440 the statements that are >> the amended 83 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,840 Yeah. 84 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:23,599 » For one thing, it's not accurate. Uh other thing I don't think it's 85 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:28,560 editorial. I think um so the paragraph that's in there is not an accurate 86 00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:35,120 account of the of of that discussion. There was more of that discussion that 87 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:39,440 occurred. I just mentioned that Mark has some statements in that regard to 88 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,680 correct what what the confusion was and that's not included. 89 00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:46,800 » Yeah. I don't have that much. >> Yeah. And so rather than kind of have a 90 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:52,720 partial account of the discussion, I think it's best just to have discussion. 91 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:55,919 » Why can't we add this discussion? >> I mean uh 92 00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:01,680 » that you you could the whole discussion would 93 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:06,319 have to be transcribed. There is a there's an audio recording of minutes of 94 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:12,240 anybody meeting. So anybody that watches the meeting can can hear it for 95 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:15,759 themselves. Uh but I think having a kind of a partial account is not something 96 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:19,520 that you want to have on this particular issue. 97 00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:28,080 » I don't want to have a partial but if that will resolve the issue because I 98 00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:31,440 know Mark corrected me on that issue. >> Um I'm sorry. 99 00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:36,959 » Yes. One thing is if we in our packet which 100 00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:43,519 would be included right these are all archived and saved 101 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:52,720 is the IRM's actual statement. So we have never done an account like 102 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:59,920 this that I recall in our minutes >> ever. So the precedent has been set that 103 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:07,519 we do it like it's been done and if the IRS statement is included 104 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,279 what I don't understand what the issue is because this isn't what we typically 105 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:17,920 do. That is my thoughts. What we typically 106 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:23,279 do is the amended version and that's what we typically do. No matter what no 107 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:29,040 matter what it is, that's what we do. So, I don't know why we would put a an 108 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:33,680 extra paragraph in an explanation when clearly the IRS statement is there. 109 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,680 » You're welcome to pull our our minutes from previous meetings and we have done 110 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:42,240 this in the past. M I'm not saying it happens all the time. 111 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:49,040 I'm saying that typically it's like what it is on these minutes, a blur that says 112 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:52,959 this person passed it or this person um approved it, this person seconded it and 113 00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:57,839 it went on. The reason that I made that statement to put in here is because on 114 00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:04,320 the resolution it says for 2024, but on the paperwork that was provided it says 115 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:09,440 also for 2025. So that's what those are for. Well, also it isn't that the 116 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,839 interest that was accured for 2025. So that's not the actual statement from 117 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,800 2020. >> But that's the back of the paperwork 118 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,920 that was provided to the council and that packet said 2025. 119 00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:25,440 » But that was on the interest. So we owe a bill from what he says it's interest 120 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:31,839 » interest on notice from 24 first quarter in 24 121 00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:34,000 please mayor let her finish you're not controlling the meeting. 122 00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:37,120 » I know I'm trying to figure out >> you're trying to Yes. 123 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,640 » I'm trying to figure out as the clerk so we can get this resolved. 124 00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:47,200 » That's right. >> Thank you. So that's interest from 2020 125 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:54,800 2025 but on a 2024 bill. So you don't a bill on time, we acrew interest, right? 126 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:58,320 And so it it's not a 2025 bill. It's a 2024 bill. Correct. 127 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:03,279 » Correct. But the invoice that was provided in our council packet showed 128 00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:05,680 that that was 2025 that 129 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:09,360 » because the statement date, >> the statement date said, I remember 130 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,640 clearly October 6 that the statement date came out. Of course, interest is 131 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:17,360 going to acrew on a bill that's not paid from 2024, 132 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:22,560 but it's a bill from 2024. Correct. >> Correct. 133 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:27,519 » And the interest ac time, we approve interest in 2025. It's 134 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:31,600 a 2024 bill. That's all I'm saying is that if you 135 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:35,680 don't pay a bill on time, we acrew interest as it passes, right? And now 136 00:11:33,839 --> 00:11:42,399 we're in a new year. So the interest is there. It's not a 2025 bill. It's a 2024 137 00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:50,000 bill that has approved interest in 2025. So I still view it as a 2024 bill. 138 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:57,760 It's just that we're late on paying and therefore interest ac 139 00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,760 but if that is included I don't see and and I I don't recall every everything 140 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:08,399 you do. I'm sure you've broken it down before but most of the time it says 141 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:12,880 this. So, I don't agree with with this is what I'm saying. And it's because 142 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:19,040 it's a 2024 bill that accured interest in 2025 with a statement date of October 143 00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:24,240 6, 2025. Now that I understand why she wanted to put this in and your 144 00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:28,279 explanation of why 2024 the interest rate wasn't your conc. 145 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,440 » So you're saying you're okay with the 100%. 146 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:51,959 » Is that what you're saying? >> Okay. 147 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,959 that I think discussion. 148 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:59,920 Any further discussion? All in favor say I. 149 00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:09,519 » I. >> All those like sign and that pass. 150 00:13:05,839 --> 00:13:15,040 Next item on the agenda is the financial reports. 151 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:20,680 entertain a motion to accept the uh financial reports for water and sewer. 152 00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:27,760 So move. >> Got a motion by Erica. Do I hear a 153 00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:32,480 second? Second. Second by JJ. Any discussion? 154 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:35,680 All in favor say I. >> I. 155 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:41,440 » All oppose like to sign. That's approved. 156 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:48,720 I saw Carl just walked in. Uh one of the financials for the general fund or the 157 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:56,079 city financials. Um I'm at Carl's working on getting those uh repaired and 158 00:13:52,800 --> 00:14:03,120 we last time we talked about it. Uh he was saying we should have them corrected 159 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:07,839 version by the first or by December. So I'm going to ask that we table them 160 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:11,560 again this month. Do I have a motion? 161 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,600 » Got a motion by hear. 162 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:27,800 » So, can we get this done faster than waiting until December? 163 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,440 I'm ready to see some results here. 164 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:43,120 Can we have that sooner than December because it's we've been tingling this 165 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:48,160 financial >> we will have financials by December. I 166 00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:55,079 cannot promise you that they will be absolutely perfect. There's a lot of 167 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,079 work to do right now. 168 00:14:57,199 --> 00:15:01,880 That's the truth. That's true. 169 00:15:03,199 --> 00:15:09,920 So we might have it by December. >> I will have financials for you by 170 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:16,639 December. I can't I'm not going to stand here and tell you that everything will 171 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:23,199 be exactly balanced. Will all be exactly what they should be. There's there's a 172 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:28,320 lot of stuff to go through reconcile to get to the right number 173 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:34,480 that that needs to be on the balance sheet because you got you got 174 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:40,000 liabilities on your balance sheet. It doesn't work. That means that that means 175 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:47,079 that the people that you say you have a 176 00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:47,079 liability to actually work. 177 00:15:47,839 --> 00:15:56,959 Sorry. It's hard work here. I mean, you want if you want if you want 178 00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:03,519 me to to run through it and do a 179 00:15:59,839 --> 00:16:07,279 half, you know, job, I can do that or else. 180 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:11,360 » I'm not asking you to do that. So, don't don't take it personal. I'm not asking 181 00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:15,920 that. I'm just I'm just hoping we can get this number sooner because the 182 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:20,560 city's financial keep being postponed postponed and I'm just like 183 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,920 » more time. That's 184 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,920 » I will finally 185 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,680 answer it. 186 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:41,759 » Any further discussion? All in favor say I. 187 00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:47,759 » I. >> All those like sign. Those are table. 188 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:53,800 Next item on the agenda is the department reports. Uh fire department 189 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,160 successful. 190 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,439 We're right. 191 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:45,400 » Thank you. Next, please. 192 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:56,559 Hey guys, it's uh business as usual. Uh I was off 193 00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:02,559 there for a couple weeks cuz I had a little health issue. I had the procedure 194 00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:07,360 done. Um whether you guys knew this or not, apparently there was one day while 195 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:14,400 I was out that our vehicles had to be grounded. 196 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:18,640 Insurance hadn't been paid. Not sure if you guys are aware of that 197 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,960 or not, but I just wanted you guys to be aware of it. I got the phone call when I 198 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:28,400 s that we had to all our police officers 199 00:18:25,919 --> 00:18:34,720 to stay at the police department until the insurance was paid. Um, fire 200 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:42,000 chief talked more about that since he was here and he ran down the rock and it 201 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:48,080 my understanding we operated about a month and a half, 202 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:52,799 two months with no vehicle insurance, which is against the law for one 203 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:58,080 to [clears throat] we set ourselves up for a lawsuit 204 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,880 waiting to happen. >> So, 205 00:18:59,919 --> 00:19:09,360 but that's why that happened miles away. So, um but other than that, back up. We 206 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:14,160 got the insurance. We're good. Um soon as that happened and like I 207 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:18,640 said, can talk more about it if you guys have questions about that. I didn't 208 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:24,559 speak with him. I did not have any conversation with him whatsoever. 209 00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:27,960 Again, I was out um dealing with a medical bill. 210 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:37,760 » That was in September when that happened. You remember the 211 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:42,039 day? I'll let talk a little bit more about that. 212 00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:42,039 » So, 213 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:51,919 insurance card expired September 16th I believe and while he was going I seen we 214 00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:57,360 didn't have a new card so I went over and talked to Keith and some other 215 00:19:53,600 --> 00:20:01,480 departments over there so we started with the found 216 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:16,000 » so I said man who's supposed to pay That was actually the 217 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:22,080 bills came in June. They were supposed to be paid by June 1st and it got cut 218 00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:28,400 off on the 19th, the 5th of July. I mean July 1st. It got cut off the 19th of 219 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:33,520 July is when because they cut a second or sent a second notice right after the 220 00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:43,840 first or right around the middle of July. And so that was that was before we 221 00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:49,120 got Carl or anyone else in finance. >> Still you didn't ask my question. I said 222 00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:52,000 » it was when it was when we still had our clerk. 223 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:57,200 » I've actually spoke to the municipal league on that. They did an update to 224 00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:01,360 it's called a software called Origami. So when they did an update to the 225 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:05,840 origami that for the last previous years all of our mail was going to the PO box 226 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:11,440 36. So when they did the update to the origami, it sent it to uh to 134 North 227 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:17,440 Main. We don't get mail at 134 North Main and the post office did not send 228 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:21,120 our mail from 134 North Main and put it into our PO box office. They send it 229 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:26,640 back. So we weren't getting any mail from that 230 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:32,320 134 mailing address is what the the ladies from Municipal League was telling 231 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:37,280 me. And so Miss Sheila at Municipal League is trying to figure out what had 232 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:44,520 happened and why the address transferred from 134 or from the PO box 36 to the 233 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:44,520 134 North 234 00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:50,400 » that's our physical address but we don't know I'm just 235 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:55,120 [clears throat] >> because we don't receive mail there we 236 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,600 have no mail the post office doesn't deliver 237 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:12,240 That's really not good. I mean, honestly, I'm not I'm not happy about 238 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:15,760 that. I don't know how we can What can we do to make sure that doesn't 239 00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:18,799 happen again? >> I think we have I think we got it all 240 00:22:17,679 --> 00:22:25,679 fixed up. >> I've worked with 241 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:32,400 the city and I think You know, I have it on my on my computer 242 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:35,559 also that they pay insurance to do this and so 243 00:22:35,865 --> 00:22:43,480 [snorts] I'm that you know I thought other people were track 244 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,640 next planning commission 245 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:13,919 Good evening. >> Evening question last week 246 00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:19,120 had a couple items on the agenda. One for 247 00:23:16,159 --> 00:23:26,960 this new annex subdivision. We had a permit 248 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:32,240 come in for retaining wall neighbor the decision of approval. There's a 249 00:23:29,679 --> 00:23:38,520 process that goes you know into the approval of it but planning commission 250 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,520 is the under the board 251 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:52,000 they are the group that they build the administrative decision 252 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:55,440 and then we have preliminary petroleum this is the one that we've been working 253 00:23:53,120 --> 00:24:02,799 on right off the wall everything still going through they just wanted to look 254 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:08,159 reworking some of their sewer lines for better alignment with future 255 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:13,360 connectivity. So they have got a new plan to us and Drew's been looking at it 256 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:18,159 you know among others within and they're going to come back collaboration 257 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:25,520 probably come back to us in the work session in November and look at 258 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:32,440 that being said we'll probably postpone the planning commission meeting for next 259 00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:32,440 week we don't have any 260 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:41,760 other things that is on there is the other stuff we want to look at you have 261 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:46,320 before you tonight. the reasoning of the property for light. We'll talk about 262 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:50,880 that if you have any questions. We can talk about that later once we get to it. 263 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:57,279 And then you general updates haven't really changed since the last meeting. 264 00:24:54,559 --> 00:25:02,240 We're still working on the legacy project proposal that was 265 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:07,360 accepted and moving forward with that for next year in conjunction with the 266 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:12,600 water. And of course, that's something I did 267 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,600 notice 268 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:21,720 are meeting to continue work on this. I want to say 269 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,720 middle of next week. 270 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,080 Specific questions. 271 00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:39,080 Thank you. Next item is water and department. 272 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,799 Start with the 273 00:25:47,919 --> 00:25:56,159 got a lot of meters to set up and one leak that we know of which is 274 00:25:54,320 --> 00:26:01,960 fire hydrant that's scheduled to be prepared on Monday. We wait on the parts 275 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,960 for a few weeks. 276 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:09,640 Um and then we have our water set. 277 00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:18,480 Looking at the water loss report, you can see it jumped from 37 to 54. Uh I 278 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:23,679 believe the reason for that is when we tightened up the shoot line that was 279 00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:30,400 leaking about 2 and 12 million gallons a month, it increased the pressure in the 280 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:38,960 line and then created leaks elsewhere. To address this, I went into our KMZ 281 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:44,240 GIS map and found the remaining Y that we know of. And so we are working on a 282 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:50,880 game plan to get all that abandoned. We just abandoned another 400T stretch of 283 00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:56,080 that on Round Road. Um, but as of right now, there's an estimated 2700 ft of 284 00:26:54,400 --> 00:27:03,120 galvan [clears throat] ice in the ground still. Based on that math, there might 285 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:07,120 be we don't know and about 600 ft of unknown pipe. So there's we don't know 286 00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:15,799 the composition of the pipe. It could be could be the old 287 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,799 place. So that is the game plan. 288 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,559 So any questions? 289 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:30,000 Well, we discussed that last night this morning regarding the water loss. There 290 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:35,760 was some recommendation previously when they did the when they did the 291 00:27:33,238 --> 00:27:40,960 [clears throat] locating the you know water loss there was I think there was a 292 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,520 few recommendation in there to what are those recommendation and where we have 293 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:48,320 done those >> yes so with the breed study is what 294 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:54,240 you're referring to they came out and located our system uh listening for 295 00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:58,559 leaks using an acoustic device their recommendations they had about seven we 296 00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:02,720 are currently doing five of those recommendations. The 297 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:08,159 two that we are not doing are we're working towards one. Uh one being 298 00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:11,440 it was also suggested that during the investigation that a high quantity of 299 00:28:09,919 --> 00:28:15,279 leakage could potentially be occurring in particular communities due to 300 00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:20,720 excessive pressure and so they recommended that we install PRBs or 301 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:26,159 other pressure management solutions. That is being looked into with the water 302 00:28:23,679 --> 00:28:29,679 mouse comp. They're going to tell us strategic points to 303 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:36,480 valves, pressure related valves. This could provide some relief for for our 304 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:41,440 pipes. The other recommendation is 305 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:45,600 district meter areas or data driven solutions. So district meter area would 306 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:50,960 basically you know you install meters in strategic 307 00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:57,279 locations on your system and then so take for example you've got a system you 308 00:28:54,159 --> 00:29:02,720 install a meter at the entrance of that pipeline forward 309 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:07,679 and then you take the difference between the usage of the the residential meters 310 00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:12,320 and the water that's come into the system and compare that difference and 311 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:16,960 that will tell you your water in that area of the distribution system. 312 00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:20,080 » Can I ask you a question about that? So now with these new developments going 313 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:25,760 up, is that going to be a requirement for them to put that stuff in on the 314 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:34,240 front end like Hillrest and then the one on Rainbow Dr.'s own property? Is that 315 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:38,080 something that can be tied into that? >> Right now it's not in our specs to 316 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:43,520 require developers to do that. It's certainly something to discuss if we'd 317 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:48,000 like to add to that as as the water master 318 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:52,399 plan gets completed, we're going to find the higher pressure areas are going to 319 00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:57,520 follow the lower elevation within the city. So once that master plan actually 320 00:29:54,799 --> 00:30:01,840 outlines that, it'll look like it'll look at that in totality as development 321 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,960 takes place. And so that can be a requirement for those specific 322 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,480 subdivisions. It will depend on each specific 323 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:12,480 subdivision that comes in and the specific location they're located. 324 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:16,399 » So the new ones that aren't yet currently like Hillrest would be out for 325 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:21,840 that because they're currently underre but the other ones or can the city put 326 00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:28,720 it on on the front end before home stop using water and sewer. 327 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,679 » Okay. >> Part of that recommendation was 328 00:30:30,746 --> 00:30:36,320 [clears throat] the second part was data driven 329 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:39,440 solutions. So, for example, Rogers has 1,600 330 00:30:38,159 --> 00:30:44,320 pressure sensors throughout their system. You know, if you have a sensor 331 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:48,799 here, a sensor here, if there's a discrepancy between those sensors, it 332 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:53,039 kind of pinpoints where they need to be looking for a leak. So, they use 333 00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:56,799 correlation to find, you know, it's this part from this sensor, this part from 334 00:30:54,399 --> 00:31:01,600 this sensor. That's another recommendation that we could also look 335 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:06,320 into. And that would allow us to go out there, use our acoustic leak detector 336 00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:11,840 and pinpoint exactly where the leak is before even services because according 337 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:17,480 to the study 94% of our leaks never come to service which is what we're 338 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,480 struggling with now 339 00:31:18,159 --> 00:31:24,640 that's what I was asking you that question because we're getting to the 340 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:29,840 point we're fixing some we go down then some new one and also are we putting 341 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:35,279 them in sleeves now I mean the pipe and putting pipe we put them in now is the 342 00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:42,240 Yes, it's in space. I think it was one of the workplace. 343 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:46,480 » I think we need to start looking. >> I'm saying that because you're doing a 344 00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:51,360 great job. I'm not criticizing you. I want to 345 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:59,519 committee. We really need to start looking ahead of time. I mean, if 2008, 346 00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:04,720 we were looking at the pipe sleep. maybe we wouldn't have as much pipes that we 347 00:32:01,679 --> 00:32:09,279 have to replace now. So 10 years from now whoever is here of course I'm not 348 00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:14,480 here whoever is here I don't want them say no 10 years ago they have done 349 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:19,919 something to help that and that's why I want to look at outside the box and look 350 00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:26,000 at other recommendation that we can get what we can do [clears throat] like this 351 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:32,640 other study the master water study Daniel is going to do that's great I had 352 00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:37,880 done that a year ago so we were two years 353 00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:37,880 So we need to start looking into 354 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:47,840 future ahead of time not fixing it for now. That's my recommendation is my 355 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:53,760 challenge to you and my committee. We both are not happy with 356 00:32:50,720 --> 00:33:00,080 what we see and you working really hard is working hard. You're doing great job. 357 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:05,840 It's just we don't know what those pipes are. 358 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:09,760 When the pressure changes on them, they start. 359 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:16,039 So, we need to think outside the box. That's my challenge for myself. 360 00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:16,039 Absolutely. 361 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:27,760 » Thank you. Thank you. Next item is the engineers report. 362 00:33:25,679 --> 00:33:31,760 I'll touch on several [clears throat] I'll touch on several water sewer 363 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:36,240 projects that are currently ongoing. In your packet, you've got the notes from 364 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:42,399 last night's meeting. The N project, we're wrapping that up as 365 00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:47,440 we speak. As we got actually two sign offs on our 366 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:54,320 sign offs, we're trying to finalize contractage, 367 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:58,960 complete uh funding request with NRD. the existing wastewater treatment plant 368 00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:04,960 and pump station. We're currently decommissioning those contractor out 369 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:09,760 there the basins as well as removing the pump station on the golf course and turn 370 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:13,119 those over to the original agreement to back to 371 00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:17,440 course. And lastly, I want to talk to you a 372 00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:23,919 little about water service area expansion up here on the screen. And 373 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:30,000 this uh we went over this last night the meeting. Uh just as a general reminder, 374 00:34:27,839 --> 00:34:34,079 water and sewer service areas are like school district boundaries. They do not 375 00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:39,679 follow city limits. So some exhibit I have in 376 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:44,079 front of you at the moment. What's in red is actually what you 377 00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:49,839 currently have on file with the Arkansas Natural Resource Commission as your 378 00:34:46,079 --> 00:34:55,440 water service area. This color here is Roger's water and then the purple color 379 00:34:53,359 --> 00:35:02,320 bill. And then lastly, what you'll see here on the bottom is water utilities. 380 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:05,440 As part of any expansions that we do, we actually have to prepare a report, 381 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:11,520 submit that to the natural resource division. Uh they will hold a public 382 00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:16,880 hearing. We have to notify all the water in the proximity to this area and 383 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:22,640 get their comments on any expansions that we're claiming. 384 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:27,040 U we have reached out to the bill is generally in in agreement with what our 385 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:33,599 plan is. Let me show you real quickly what what our plan is. 386 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:39,760 » Does that currently include the area or is that still Rogers? 387 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:43,920 » It's still it's still with Rogers. We haven't noted in the report that it will 388 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:49,760 transition upon our connection our service connection to that that area 389 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:56,320 as well as the others that we we gave up the connection the station side. What 390 00:35:53,119 --> 00:36:00,400 you'll see here in yellow is what we uh have developed in the water committee or 391 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,200 we plan to recommend or having discussions with our neighbor 392 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:15,599 idea. [clears throat] Highway 264 is running right through 393 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:21,440 here and highway 112 runs through here. This light blue line is the 12in water 394 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:26,800 line was installed with the sales tax bond issue that was passed several years 395 00:36:23,359 --> 00:36:33,280 ago. And this green line is what was the sewer line which carries our waste water 396 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:37,680 to to so it makes sense uh where these areas in yellow that we continue to move 397 00:36:35,359 --> 00:36:45,200 further west and join up with our neighbors. Makes a lot of sense here. 398 00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:50,960 One challenge we have uh you can see city limits in this light gray blue 399 00:36:47,839 --> 00:36:55,119 color actually down all the way to highway 264 400 00:36:53,200 --> 00:37:01,280 but you'll look at our service area dissects that section of their city 401 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:04,920 limits. We had a water service area prior to those 402 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:13,440 not annexations annexations from the property owners that live in that area. 403 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:18,079 So, we presented this to Bentonville. We've been working on this over a year 404 00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:23,599 and their response, [clears throat] excuse me. Their response was uh rather 405 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:29,680 than just the water service areas is to present a 406 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:36,000 franchise agreement where we can actually service uh their uh residents 407 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:41,599 within the city limits. We have that Justin has it. we reviewing that uh 408 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:44,960 determine which path we need to how do we need to move forward and that's 409 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:49,040 that's what I'm going to ask tonight. Do you guys have a direction or what you 410 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:53,040 would like us to move forward with that? Now, two things we do. We got a couple 411 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:58,320 options. One, we can go ahead and submit this to NRD as we have presented here 412 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:02,560 and have to go through the public meeting and there will be comments back 413 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:08,560 from our neighbors associated with that. Or we could do a combination of 414 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:14,960 franchise agreement and adjust this submitt to NRD which effectively we can 415 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:21,680 remove the area here uh where we overlap and only ask for 416 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:26,240 things outside of the city's city limits if you will. Now part of 417 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:32,480 this franchise agreement there's a couple things that we would need to 418 00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:38,000 negotiate. Number one, um any improvements that are generated in 419 00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:43,520 this area, we spend our money uh to invest in that infrastructure. We would 420 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:49,599 like any impact fees to return back to the city of K Springs based on our 421 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:54,640 current ordinances. And probably the other larger item is at some point they 422 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:58,560 reserve the right to come in and take that infrastructure whenever they 423 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,240 continue to build. down to that area where they can connect 424 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:07,200 to it. They would like that to revert back to the city of ownership. We 425 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:13,599 recommend if that were to happen that they would purchase that and whatever 426 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:17,760 value that is at the top. So again looking at a couple of options we want 427 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:23,520 to move forward as we have been working and going to present this TRD or a 428 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:28,800 combination of what we have here today and a franchise agreement with the city 429 00:39:25,359 --> 00:39:34,880 of B. Should be noted that uh the city of Hill does have a franchise agreement 430 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:39,642 with Senator as well and based on my understanding it's worked well. I've not 431 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:45,160 heard anything any different. [clears throat] With that I will open it 432 00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:45,160 up for questions. 433 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:57,680 » I think as discussed last night we need to see that franchise agreement and 434 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,680 understand it before we can make 435 00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:05,599 Well, we can visit with Justin and see if there's an 436 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:09,760 opportunity we can have it back at the next work session. Show you what that 437 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:13,599 looks like. And I would I would anticipate this would go back and forth 438 00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:19,240 negotiating back and forth between each entity as approved by both governance. 439 00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:34,680 Any other questions? Clear as mud. 440 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:43,760 » All right. The last item, engineering report, just a couple projects to 441 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:48,960 discuss. The West Road sidewalks. We received our approval that has been 442 00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:54,160 advertised. Our opening bids on the 13th of November at 2 pm. So we'll be back 443 00:40:51,520 --> 00:41:00,079 for you next city council meeting with the recommendation of the word contract 444 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:05,040 contractor extended sidewalk. The other item on everyone's mind is the traffic 445 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:09,520 signal. The poles will arrive at the contractor's yard at the end of this 446 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:14,400 week is scheduled to begin construction next week. 447 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:20,119 stilling some with sweat coat but that is the latest as of middle of the day 448 00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:20,119 today 449 00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:24,760 or something 450 00:41:25,359 --> 00:41:32,240 » the poles were completed they just had not been shipped maintained on the 451 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:37,800 manufacturer's yard that's what we've been waiting for is to get them to the 452 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,800 conting 453 00:41:48,079 --> 00:41:53,839 We're pushing. >> Any other questions? 454 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,960 » I have a question. >> Yes, ma'am. 455 00:41:54,319 --> 00:42:00,880 » Um, the sewer capacity study. So, we have our new one complete. Is that done 456 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:05,760 yet? >> We have a graph that we reviewed uh last 457 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:10,000 month or previous month's meeting. We're making a few adjustments based on 458 00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:13,520 comments that we received. for the water meeting. We'll be ready, I 459 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,800 would say, in the next couple months to present to the council if yall would 460 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:21,599 like to see it. >> Okay. Because I had um some questions. I 461 00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:28,400 meant to reach out to you today, but I wasn't able to. Um I remember that that 462 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:33,119 Buffington property that was here, they with all these subdivisions coming in, 463 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:38,800 you know, they the number of homes that would have been like on that property. 464 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:42,640 Um it was my understanding communicated that 465 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:47,440 didn't know if it could go forward unless the sewer capacity study was 466 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:52,480 complete. So, how are we building these developments 467 00:42:49,359 --> 00:42:56,319 without the sewer capacity study? Is it 468 00:42:54,480 --> 00:43:00,160 Could you expand upon that? You understand what I'm asking? Because 469 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:05,200 we're approving a lot of development, but I know one development did leave 470 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:10,000 because they we didn't know if that particular 471 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:15,200 land could work for the sewer system and the new 472 00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:20,560 lift station. So with all of these developments being 473 00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:23,200 approved, are are we worried about sewer capacity because a lot of homes have 474 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:28,480 gone up? >> No, they they have been evaluated on a 475 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:32,319 case by case basis. So what the sewer study is actually doing is taking a 476 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:37,200 holistic view of what's available in the city, what's left in the city, and 477 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:41,359 identifying areas for new trunk lines to go 478 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:46,480 to be installed throughout basins where where nothing exists. 479 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:49,359 to max to help us size the future capacity of the sewer. So what we don't 480 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:54,400 want to do, for example, what we don't want to do is install an 8 in sewer line 481 00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:57,119 in an area and develop coming in 10 years down the road. All of a sudden 482 00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:02,079 that 8 in is not enough for that new development. We size it and determine 483 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:07,280 that that needs to be 15 in or larger sewer line and potentially do a cost 484 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:13,440 share or ask the developer to install something larger than than needed for 485 00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:19,599 their development. U what is going on right now with the model that we develop 486 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:23,920 as developers do come in and ask for capacity to your current pressurized 487 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:27,760 system and step system we have that has been modeled and we can put that in the 488 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:32,800 model to determine if that capacity exists with that size of development 489 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:39,760 with the current infrastructure you have to station we have used that on a couple 490 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:46,240 occasions already with with developers 491 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:51,440 But depending on the the property bill for instance, that is one that that 492 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:57,280 requirement was placed on the developer to show us to study our system their 493 00:44:55,359 --> 00:45:00,880 connection point to ensure that there was enough capacity that we reviewed and 494 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:06,960 commented and went back and forth several times to determine if they could 495 00:45:03,839 --> 00:45:10,720 in fact connect to that to the system. >> Okay. So it has not stopped in 496 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,280 development. >> Okay. 497 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:18,480 » Now we may have we may have told some developers that this is in process. We 498 00:45:15,839 --> 00:45:23,200 can't tell them what the ultimate size of a gravity line is until it's 499 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:28,160 completed at this point. >> Okay. 500 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:31,960 » We have not stopped. I think what maybe is like someone 501 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:45,280 that's the question where we at no I think we are comfortable having 502 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:50,000 performing this study at this point is a good put places you in a very good 503 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:55,200 position not only that the the lift station that we just completed there 504 00:45:52,560 --> 00:46:00,160 station back it was designed based on the current size of the city of 505 00:45:57,359 --> 00:46:05,200 education rings with expansion potential what we're talking about this water 506 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:11,920 service area that we just went over. So I can't remember exactly we have places 507 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:16,400 for two additional pumps in the station. >> We have placements for that. So as we 508 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:20,880 grow we won't be able to expand that list. We'll add a pump and then we'll 509 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:26,160 add another pump. Now ultimately at some point depending I mean as as far as we 510 00:46:23,359 --> 00:46:31,440 can plan with our crystal ball that's all we can do densities and some of the 511 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:36,079 plans I think you'll talk about tonight. Uh as we're looking uh other densities 512 00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:39,280 as well that plays a role in this. So some of 513 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:44,960 our neighboring cities where they're running into challenges, infrastructure 514 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:51,040 that was 50 years ago was not based on a higher density what we're seeing wind 515 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:54,400 that's where some of those struggles are coming. 516 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:58,000 But as far as we're concerned, I think we're planning very well. 517 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:02,560 » Okay. >> So we're we're good with what we 518 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:08,720 currently have on the agenda. what we currently have approved and more 519 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:13,760 development to come. >> It should it should be noted five years 520 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:18,240 ago that was not the case because we were we knew that due to the growth we 521 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:21,839 were going to reach capacity with the current treatment plants and 522 00:47:20,079 --> 00:47:26,880 the drip fields that we had and we had to make a decision on whether we stop 523 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:31,760 growing or do we make an investment to go to Naka and that's where you have the 524 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:37,040 vision to move forward and go to NAL. That was not the case that we preserved. 525 00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:41,839 » Okay. Thank you. >> Anything else? 526 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:44,839 Thank you. Next item is the attorney's report. 527 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:53,200 » Good evening, council. Also, we have franchise agreements on 528 00:47:49,839 --> 00:48:00,000 the agenda uh later. So, looking forward to getting those done and and in place. 529 00:47:56,319 --> 00:48:05,359 uh coming up u at the next court session plan to have a draft of a few revisions 530 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:10,240 to personnel handbook uh that we've been working on. So we have that one for you. 531 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:14,160 I'll also have to see the water franchise that we've 532 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:18,560 talked about. Um, I'll provide you with the version that was provided to us bill 533 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:24,000 and then I'll provide you also with the version with recommended changes to it. 534 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:29,760 Um, to to handle some of the issues that Daniel 535 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:33,280 uh brought up. Um, also uh uh some things that are in the works as Daniel 536 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:38,400 mentioned with the NA project now that commissioning is uh decommissioning is 537 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:43,680 happening with some of the implements over the over at the golf course. We're 538 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:49,040 in a position to uh to be ready to to do that transfer. 539 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:54,079 That's already been approved some time back now. It's been a year or two uh on 540 00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:58,160 where that was approved, but there may be something where we decide it may be a 541 00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:01,920 good idea to bring it back through just to get 542 00:48:59,839 --> 00:49:06,319 to make sure we're all on the same page. But essentially, we're going to be 543 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:12,160 transferring those assets that remain over to um over the golf course. Um and 544 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:16,480 then there'll be a release of some of the ements that are there that we're 545 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:20,559 getting in a water sewer ement that we need for [snorts] our system 546 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:28,559 if you kind of recall all that from a couple years ago. Uh lastly, oh had a 547 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:33,680 meeting at Holland yesterday went through a number of kind of uh project 548 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:38,319 issues, things that are going on. U talked quite a bit about drainage and 549 00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:43,280 we're going to continue to be uh looking at that. I'm looking at it from a a 550 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:47,520 point of view of of what type of changes might we need just based on things that 551 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:51,920 we've we've encountered. So, we're going to continue working on that. Uh the 552 00:49:49,839 --> 00:49:57,440 agenda on that meeting was too big for us to complete one day. So, we're going 553 00:49:53,680 --> 00:50:01,599 to uh meet back and and do that. But I I do think that 554 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:06,800 changes coming up on that in the next couple months. Uh so, that's a little 555 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:11,040 harder maybe, you know, maybe coming in January. 556 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:14,960 and some updates that we need to do. So, uh those are just 557 00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:21,319 four different things that are kind of ongoing right now. Any any questions for 558 00:50:18,319 --> 00:50:21,319 me? 559 00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:27,319 » Thank you. Next treasur 560 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:37,599 and then the mayor's report. very brief, but we are currently working 561 00:50:35,359 --> 00:50:43,440 with all the department heads on budgets. It's that time of year. Hope to 562 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:49,040 have you a budget very quickly to be able to review that their input is on 563 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:55,200 their departments and it is it is coming from a group effort that's being 564 00:50:52,000 --> 00:51:01,839 directed by the department heads. So that should be coming to you all very 565 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:08,359 soon and looking forward to preparing for next year. Next item is public 566 00:51:05,359 --> 00:51:08,359 comments. 567 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,695 Any public comments? [clears throat and cough] 568 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:28,920 Um I am asking 569 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:39,680 I know that we keep this down the road but my house 570 00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:43,680 102 days ago. Um it does seem like we would love to things here. I'm just 571 00:51:41,839 --> 00:51:48,839 curious if there's ever going to be a resolution or a plan of action or 572 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:57,920 you guys. >> So, did you hear that the attorney and 573 00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:02,319 the engineer were meeting about the drainage issue? 574 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:07,920 » I did hear that, but I heard that it takes more than I feel like is a long 575 00:52:06,079 --> 00:52:13,680 time. So, I did hear about 576 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:18,240 I don't feel like it because it's not a part of me or I don't know 577 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,520 » or it's a process. It takes time. >> I agree. 578 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,839 » Yeah. >> But I don't think this is the first to 579 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:27,839 experience my knowledge. Um >> I don't think so either. Thousands of 580 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:31,119 years of floods and that's why we have engineers to try to help figure it out. 581 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:35,119 I don't know what else we can do other than rely on our engineers. Do you want 582 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:39,440 us to hire more engineers? Do you want us to like have them do a battle royale? 583 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:42,640 It's just you come and you've sworn at us before and it's just we're not 584 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:46,319 kicking this down the road. It's an important issue to us. There's not much 585 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:50,079 more that we can do. I can't come to your house and figure it out. I don't 586 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:54,319 know how. I just I literally don't know the engineering or the math. So, I can't 587 00:52:52,079 --> 00:52:59,040 figure it out. I have to outsource that opinion to our engineer 588 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:02,160 and then he's going to come with a plan that they're going to, you know, again 589 00:53:00,559 --> 00:53:05,599 try and figure out. It isn't going to be instant though. It's going to take 590 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:10,319 » I'm not expecting it to be instant. I don't think anybody the first person and 591 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:14,559 ask when something is going to happen. I'm not directly targeting you or 592 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:20,079 anybody on the city council here. I'm just saying that this meeting is going 593 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:24,240 to okay and that's fine if it takes time but I 594 00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:30,079 think over time there should be some sort of update that we can expect 595 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:35,839 what's coming out of that. Um I've been a budget before I couldn't simply just 596 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:41,440 continue down the road. I mean listening today like financial reports are being 597 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:45,920 table like I mean what are we supposed to expect? I want party and yeah I did 598 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:50,960 come here and say that it seems like things are show because to be honest he 599 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:55,119 does every time I come >> the mayor looks around everybody else 600 00:53:53,280 --> 00:54:01,359 like where does what is the one responsible 601 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:06,480 for anything I have asked my engineer multiple times about your stuff and he 602 00:54:04,079 --> 00:54:11,680 is looking into it your situation is a little complicated you you you bought a 603 00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:17,200 home in a place that didn't have curbside cutouts. I have personally come 604 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:20,880 after you spoke and another person in your neighborhood came down and looked. 605 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:24,160 Actually, it was before you spoke because you were surprised to see your 606 00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:27,920 pictures up there because I cared so much I asked our engineer to do it. I 607 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:32,640 said, "Could you please look at this home on the corner across from the 608 00:54:29,839 --> 00:54:41,119 detention pond?" So, I have asked for updates. There is a process. Um 609 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:47,920 but your situation is is very unique >> and and he has looked into it. I have we 610 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:52,800 we have updated if we if we constantly I mean he has to do his job. I I did my 611 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:57,680 job as a council member I thought and came down and asked him to look at your 612 00:54:54,800 --> 00:55:02,559 particular property which you questioned why was my house up there. I said well I 613 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:07,400 asked him to look cuz I saw your damage. So the council members do care 614 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:14,960 and once again I'm not trying to blame anybody. This is not where we get we 615 00:55:13,119 --> 00:55:20,319 this is what happens right. I'm just saying I have come here since that 616 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:24,559 happened and hoping that you guys are working on a resolution. If you say you 617 00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:27,599 are I can totally trust you and assume that you are and come back next month 618 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:30,960 and hope you hear something different. I'm not confident that that's the case 619 00:55:29,359 --> 00:55:36,319 because I've been here a few times and nothing has changed. Um, when I come 620 00:55:33,119 --> 00:55:39,359 here, I started by arguing amongst everybody here in this room. How do I 621 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:43,839 have confidence I can trust that you guys are running the city the way it 622 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:47,680 should be? I mean, we didn't have insurance on our police vehicles and 623 00:55:45,599 --> 00:55:50,400 they couldn't drive. person doesn't follow the law in this city, but you 624 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:54,799 can't even guarantee people would be able to monitor the streets for us. So, 625 00:55:52,799 --> 00:55:59,440 I'm not again not here to explain, just simply saying like I'm a homeowner in 626 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:04,319 this city. I care about this city. I would like it if something were to come 627 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:08,160 out of this eventually and maybe like a timeline like in a month we'll let you 628 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,400 know who we spoke to or something and not just 629 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:17,119 » we've already we've already been letting you know we 630 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:21,520 have engineers working. I mean, again, I I just I I 631 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:24,799 don't You say, "I'm not coming in just But that's exactly what you're doing. 632 00:56:22,799 --> 00:56:29,119 You You've come down to two meetings. You've sworn. You've not been 633 00:56:26,799 --> 00:56:33,839 particularly polite." You know, we we are essentially all six of us as 634 00:56:31,359 --> 00:56:39,839 governor. We are essentially volunteers. We do not I mean, the amount that we get 635 00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:44,640 paid is is like a perium. We we are all volunteers in this capacity. We all have 636 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:49,839 full-time jobs and children and lives. Our full-time job Not, oh my gosh, you 637 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:54,880 know, citizens having a drainage problem. I'm going have to put 638 00:56:51,839 --> 00:56:58,559 everything on hold. And we have to rely on the experts. I mean, that's what we 639 00:56:56,720 --> 00:57:00,319 have to do. What is the alternative? That's my question. What is the 640 00:56:59,839 --> 00:57:05,119 alternative? >> I'm not blaming you. I'm not blaming any 641 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:09,680 of you. This is the experts that are supposed to give us solutions. I'm just 642 00:57:07,119 --> 00:57:14,240 asking what you expect. Is that a bad thing for me to ask? I not come up here 643 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:19,200 and have my own like time with you guys to say like I'm concerned about my home 644 00:57:16,559 --> 00:57:22,319 and it wasn't just my home. There were several of them and I'm sure they would 645 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:27,599 all be happy to come up here and share their stories but it's not me who's 646 00:57:24,559 --> 00:57:31,200 obviously upset. >> No no I'm not I'm not I was going to say 647 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:34,640 mayor we're kind of in a back and forth and that's usually what we don't do at 648 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:38,960 public but I was going to say something just to maybe you have a very particular 649 00:57:37,119 --> 00:57:44,240 problem. It's a very complex problem. It's a problem that that is very 650 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:48,400 challenging uh to solve. What I might recommend is it it doesn't lend itself 651 00:57:46,319 --> 00:57:54,160 to solving at a public comment period. This is really a period where people 652 00:57:49,760 --> 00:58:00,079 kind of and and have a comment and one council does what I might suggest is 653 00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:03,760 that um this happens but connecting with somebody at the city that you can come 654 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:07,440 and have a sit down with and a discussion uh where you get some updates 655 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:11,599 and things like that. May seem like you're not getting There are there's 656 00:58:09,599 --> 00:58:16,000 quite a bit happening with with with limited resources and things that you 657 00:58:13,839 --> 00:58:19,280 know gravity only goes one way and and there's some big challenges there and I 658 00:58:18,079 --> 00:58:23,280 think it may leave the impression that nothing is happening. So u if you want 659 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,400 to after the meeting I'll come talk to you maybe I'll do it with somebody. So I 660 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:29,760 think it's this is more of a you probably need to come into city hall and 661 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:33,599 have a sit down with somebody at there and kind of share your concerns get some 662 00:58:31,839 --> 00:58:37,760 feedback and then and kind of have that interaction because it really doesn't 663 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:42,160 lend itself well here. I have concerns about the city not being 664 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:47,359 managed well and it's not based on my particular issue that I have but it's 665 00:58:44,799 --> 00:58:51,280 based on that I see the reports that are coming up here and how I see that nobody 666 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:56,000 seems to take ownership of the things that are happening in our city that's 667 00:58:53,200 --> 00:59:00,079 comment I'm just saying I have concerns about 668 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:03,920 that and as a citizen of the city I would hope that those concerns are 669 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:06,160 addressed eventually but I don't have comments 670 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:16,119 One more time. Ma'am, can I get your name? 671 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:16,119 » L E T I S H. 672 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:33,760 » And I do want to make a statement as well. 673 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:41,520 As we mentioned a few minutes ago, we went down this week and sat down and 674 00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:45,200 discussed a whole host of issues. We are working on a number of different 675 00:59:43,119 --> 00:59:53,440 drainage issues. We're working on a number of different issues as a city 676 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:58,880 from streets to uh growth to drainage to expansion of water and sewer and 677 00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:06,720 development. And those are all things that we do. They do require experts and 678 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:12,799 we have experts engaged and we address those items. I've got a three page list 679 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:18,880 that I work off of every day and things come on, things go off and things are 680 01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:22,720 taken care of. Those are my responsibility. I take care of those 681 01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:26,880 responsibilities. It doesn't always happen quickly and 682 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:32,960 some things happen more quickly than others, but that is where we are right 683 01:00:30,079 --> 01:00:38,160 now. And that is the process that's not always. 684 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:42,280 So the next item on the agenda, do we have any further comments? 685 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:48,559 » Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Council, I appreciate you. Just get a moment to 686 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:52,960 introduce myself. I'm Mike Armstrong. I'm running for family court judge. Uh 687 01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:59,200 I've been practicing law here for about 20 years in in Northwest Arkansas. last 688 01:00:55,839 --> 01:01:04,240 15 doing family law and mentioned dealing with issues in the city and I 689 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:08,720 think that a lot of citizens probably have issues with the courts here in 690 01:01:06,079 --> 01:01:12,559 Benton County and I'd love to be able to visit with any of you today about that 691 01:01:11,119 --> 01:01:16,799 find out what kind of judge you're looking for in Kate Springs and in 692 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:20,720 Benton County. I've been doing this for like I said about 20 years 15 years of 693 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:24,799 domestic relations work. I've got all that experience that I bring to the 694 01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:30,160 table. I think the most important aspect of of family court job is families and 695 01:01:28,319 --> 01:01:33,520 dealing with that. And like I said, I'd love to visit with anybody about that. I 696 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:39,280 hope to earn your trust and your support and vote on March. Again, it's Mike 697 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:44,400 Armstrong. So, thank you. Anyone else? 698 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:48,960 Next item on the agenda is the old business and that's an ordinance 699 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:53,200 adopting the master street plan. Do I hear a motion to sort of suspend the 700 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:57,040 rules and place this on third and final reading? Got a motion by JJ. Do I hear a 701 01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,839 second? >> Second. 702 01:01:57,839 --> 01:02:02,480 » Second by Erica. >> Roll call. 703 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,520 » Mike. >> Yes. 704 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,720 » MC. >> Yes. 705 01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:06,079 » JJ. >> Yes. 706 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,119 » Mark. >> Yes. 707 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:10,119 » Erica. >> Yes. 708 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:22,079 » City case county Arkansas ordinance adopting the master street plan. 709 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:27,200 for city of K Springs, Arkansas. >> Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve 710 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,400 some? Got a motion by JJ. Do I hear a second? 711 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:33,680 » Second. >> Second by MC. Any discussion? 712 01:02:32,079 --> 01:02:36,680 » Yes. David, 713 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:43,559 I'm looking at information you gave us 714 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:52,960 the city council report. >> Yes, sir. 715 01:02:48,799 --> 01:02:59,440 It says mixed use neighborhood categories along 264 East Avenue were 716 01:02:56,559 --> 01:03:02,760 changed to mix corridor. What is it? 717 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:12,520 » It's basically just change based on the downtown. 718 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:23,599 Does that change in those areas? >> Essentially, no. 719 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:27,960 » Yeah. I mean, it's the it's just changing. 720 01:03:28,559 --> 01:03:39,880 » So, what is it? Mix corridor. That's where it's changing to correct. 721 01:03:34,559 --> 01:03:39,880 Okay. So, mixor 722 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:52,720 There's a little bit. So allows for wide spectrum uses 723 01:03:50,799 --> 01:03:56,119 encourages all housing types and single families multi 724 01:03:57,119 --> 01:04:03,839 recognizes the existence of some street commercial industrial uses within these 725 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:08,960 areas. Mixed corridor encourages mixed use development that better responds to 726 01:04:06,079 --> 01:04:13,599 multi needs. Uh place the majority of the parking on the side of your 727 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:17,839 developments. aesthetics design 728 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:21,920 industrial. >> It has a lot of industrial in there, but 729 01:04:19,359 --> 01:04:30,599 it would still have to be zoned actually for industrial and the only place we 730 01:04:25,119 --> 01:04:30,599 actually show industrial is 731 01:04:33,119 --> 01:04:39,720 still for something like that to be allowed to that 732 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:52,720 and And there again, you know, as we transition into the zoning code, you 733 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:56,799 know, like we have to encompass or kind of create those categories, right? 734 01:04:54,799 --> 01:05:02,160 Light industrial like currently we don't have a light industrial category. So if 735 01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:05,359 someone right now came to us and said, I want to do this and called it light 736 01:05:03,599 --> 01:05:10,960 industrial, well, we don't have a light industrial technical category. So we 737 01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:15,359 would have to once we work on that kind of create that and then create what's 738 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:20,760 allowed in industrial typically line industrial would be where you would 739 01:05:17,039 --> 01:05:20,760 allow something like 740 01:05:20,799 --> 01:05:29,839 storage light manufacturing things like that not 741 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:33,839 like not heavy industry essentially you know 742 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:39,079 it's it's it's something that cities have put in place kind of on those 743 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:39,079 corridors to 744 01:05:40,559 --> 01:05:43,559 uses. 745 01:05:44,319 --> 01:05:51,440 » Yeah, I I may have misheard the sentence he 746 01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:58,000 was reading from there. I just um on the excuse corridor Derrick Barer. I just 747 01:05:54,799 --> 01:06:02,799 wanted to mention that within that pink color, that light pink color, it 748 01:05:59,839 --> 01:06:08,559 actually says um I'm sorry >> that that it does not encourage light. 749 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:14,640 any storage facilities are not compatible within NBC other light 750 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:21,839 industrial items. And so those would be of course you dial it in with your 751 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:29,119 zoning map. Um but this resource is suggesting that industrial items would 752 01:06:24,799 --> 01:06:33,640 go into that light industrial category that's actually on the map which is not 753 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,640 open. 754 01:06:37,119 --> 01:06:40,119 just 755 01:06:43,599 --> 01:06:47,480 my concern is 756 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:56,160 nomenclature. This is a future land map, but once if 757 01:06:53,920 --> 01:07:03,280 it's passed tonight, it immediately goes into use. So, it's not a future land map 758 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:07,039 land use map. It's a current or will be current. This is It's going to be 759 01:07:05,359 --> 01:07:10,160 adopted, but it's to guide the future development of the city. It's not some, 760 01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:14,400 you know, just because >> I understand. I understand. It's a 761 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:21,119 guide. >> But I was here when you first hired on 762 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:26,240 and we had the discussion about temporary 763 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:30,640 with the RV park and the explanation that the city, the planning commission 764 01:07:28,799 --> 01:07:37,200 used was that fit, that expansion fit because it 765 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:44,880 met the criteria for park and it met the criteria for recreation and therefore an 766 01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:54,000 RV park fit in there. I still can't wrap my mind why a RV park 767 01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:59,200 meant a park and then recreation. Yeah, there's a golf course there, but that 768 01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:01,760 has no bearing on the RV. >> Wow. 769 01:07:59,599 --> 01:08:09,119 » And I'm concerned that our planning commission still operates that way. 770 01:08:06,079 --> 01:08:16,480 That's my concern with all of this. >> We are becoming or seem to be trying to 771 01:08:11,839 --> 01:08:23,279 become Rogers or Venville in the way we're expanding. Now, everybody has 772 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:27,920 right to sell, don't get me wrong, but use, we're going to start button up 773 01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:35,400 against everybody else and eventually we're going to run out of space. 774 01:08:31,359 --> 01:08:35,400 » Yes. Am I not correct? 775 01:08:35,440 --> 01:08:40,839 » Well, on the RV park side, if I'm not mistaken, 776 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:48,640 so high. So, that is something. 777 01:08:46,719 --> 01:08:53,040 So, once we get into the zoning, which you know, hopefully by the end of next 778 01:08:50,239 --> 01:08:58,799 year, we'll have doing the discussions again will have in the zoning code more 779 01:08:55,520 --> 01:09:03,199 stringent rules on things like RV parks storage things like that because if I'm 780 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:09,440 not mistaken RV parks are allowed by right in commercial zone and that piece 781 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:14,319 of land along the highway somewhat was res commercial and it's allowed by right 782 01:09:12,239 --> 01:09:18,159 and there's no I mean there's there's nothing that we 783 01:09:16,239 --> 01:09:22,880 have to stop it essentially at that point you know that that again that's 784 01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:28,080 dumbuture I'm not I wasn't against the expansion 785 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:34,000 of it. It's the way it was done that bothered me saying it met criteria for 786 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:42,679 park and met the criteria for recreation. I mean again you get into 787 01:09:38,239 --> 01:09:42,679 place but 788 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:49,600 I'm not a trusting person. One one thing I might add in regards to 789 01:09:47,759 --> 01:09:56,400 I I do appreciate that comment about running out of space and um and 790 01:09:53,040 --> 01:10:03,280 development happening all around NWA and C Springs that um and so one thing that 791 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:07,120 I do appreciate about the direction that the cities go with this map and the 792 01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:14,080 planning commission coming from that downtown plan like mentioned um the map 793 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:18,159 is encouraging mixed uses and more density 794 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:25,040 within the downtown area and I don't think that is um I mean that is very 795 01:10:22,239 --> 01:10:31,520 much in line with the the history of the downtown of this community and so the 796 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:37,520 more that we can encourage um with the mixed uses and and density in the 797 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:41,600 downtown area we can save more land you know outside of that 798 01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:45,679 » the CPZ do that also it doesn't have to be 799 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:52,960 because of my late church. >> Yes, 800 01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:57,520 » we're putting in many uh >> Well, we also don't want we don't want 801 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:59,600 to move forward having easy all the time. 802 01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:04,960 » I agree with that. >> So, that that that goes back to the 803 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:09,920 zoning up trying to incorporate where people don't have to 804 01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:13,280 apply for easy and we allow some of those things by 805 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:18,880 » but I I fully understand we're coming from 806 01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:25,159 Southtown and there there's numerous things that once we get to the zoning 807 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:25,159 code, we're going to have to find 808 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:34,000 anything else. I just encourage you to get the zoning 809 01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:38,800 done as soon as you can because we I've been asking for that for a year a year 810 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:44,400 and a half and I really like to see that because we get the subdivision in 811 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:50,000 downtown master plan. Now we got it. Let's start working on those zone input 812 01:11:46,719 --> 01:11:54,960 because when we do PCD it's okay but as you said it and I agree with it PC is 813 01:11:52,560 --> 01:12:02,080 not going to resolve our issues. It's a good thing for now, but we really 814 01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:05,080 need to get those code updated and created 815 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:10,560 and we're continuing to work on it now that you know we've got some of this 816 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:15,520 other stuff. >> Will you get that done faster if we 817 01:12:12,239 --> 01:12:21,960 don't have to talk about this future? >> I mean, we can focus on a little bit, 818 01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:21,960 you know, a little bit 819 01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:25,600 further discussion 820 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:33,760 Yes. >> JJ, 821 01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:37,320 » yes. >> Mark, 822 01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,320 » yes. 823 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:42,840 » Okay, that pass for one. 824 01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:54,560 Next motion to approve the emergency. 825 01:12:50,480 --> 01:12:59,679 Got a motion by JJ.
