00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,640
We were messing around one day and one

00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:14,789
of the girls at work her husband was

00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:31,189
in college.

4
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:50,389
Hang on.

5
00:00:50,399 --> 00:01:14,005
» It's a queen.

6
00:01:14,015 --> 00:01:14,640
» [clears throat]

7
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,630
>> Thank you for coming tonight. Um, I'd

8
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:16,640
» Thank you for coming tonight. Um, I'd

9
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,400
like to ask you to silence your phones

10
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,640
and join us for an invocation and then

11
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,280
the pledge.

12
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,119
Stephanie, would you offer our

13
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:26,000
invocation tonight?

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,789
>> Sure.

15
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:26,799
» Sure.

16
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:28,550
>> Heavenly Father, we just come to you

17
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:28,560
» Heavenly Father, we just come to you

18
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,479
this evening and we just ask for your

19
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:33,119
grace and your provision. We just ask

20
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:35,920
that you help us with making decisions

21
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,560
uh that is best for the community and we

22
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,079
just ask for your peace and we thank you

23
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,079
for this weather that we're having. We

24
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:43,840
just ask that you cool it down just a

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,040
little bit. And uh yeah, thanks Lord.

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,560
And we pray these things in your

27
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,840
precious name. Amen.

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,710
>> Amen.

29
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:50,720
» Amen.

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,789
>> Please join me in the pledge. I pledge

31
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:52,799
» Please join me in the pledge. I pledge

32
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:55,119
allegiance to the flag of the United

33
00:01:55,119 --> 00:01:57,759
States of America and to the republic

34
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:00,640
for which it stands, one nation under

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,360
God, indivisible, with liberty and

36
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:12,309
justice for all.

37
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:14,000
» All right, the next item on the agenda

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,120
is items of community interest. Um, I

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,861
don't think there's a lot of big

40
00:02:18,861 --> 00:02:21,360
[snorts] events this month. If I'm other

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,040
than school starting, if you guys think

42
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,640
of anything, does anybody in the public

43
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,760
have a meet um item they'd like for us

44
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,520
to know about?

45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,959
If not, then we're going to move on to

46
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:33,840
the city manager report.

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,830
>> This is mostly good news for the week.

48
00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:35,840
» This is mostly good news for the week.

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,160
Uh, the bid came in on the rock and

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,760
draining project well below the

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,000
engineers estimate and we will be

52
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,840
awarding that project at the next

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,319
meeting. The estimate within the $2

54
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:48,239
million range and the base bid was

55
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:50,480
alternative bids. All came in at

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,720
a,ion300,000

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,879
uh and change. The lowest bidder was

58
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:58,080
wall contractor LLC from Denton. They're

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,840
highly recommended company. We look

60
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,760
forward to working with them. As you

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,560
would will recall, we are self-funding

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,440
this project with Surface Funds. This is

63
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,920
uh the project that we're doing uh the

64
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:11,599
resolution

65
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:13,280
2026-23

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,760
for financing. If we'd need to borrow

67
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,000
money for this project, I don't think we

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,560
will, but better safe than sorry. And

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,640
this was recommended by Governor

70
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,440
Capital, our financial advisors. The low

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,360
bidder for the Glenn Hills Lift Station,

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,360
which you're voting on tonight, is Venus

73
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,400
Construction Company. Their bid was of

74
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,309
$800,299.79,

75
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,599
was $400,000 lower than the previous bid

76
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,080
that we had. Initially, we bid out the

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,840
project before we had a clear easement

78
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,680
to build the lift station. So that the

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080
project had to be rebid because of the

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,000
amount of time it took to get get the

81
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480
easement. It turns out that we will save

82
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,480
around $400,000.

83
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,560
This project is being funded by alone

84
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,360
with the Texas Water Development Board.

85
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Uh if you recall, the legislature passed

86
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,760
the bill that requires we have a

87
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,799
wildfireification plan in place by

88
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:10,400
January 2027.

89
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,640
uh which is this coming January. We g

90
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,879
the information uh that the cost of the

91
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,040
wildfire mitigation plan and utility

92
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,680
pole inspection plan would both cost

93
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,720
around $200,000 to have professional

94
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,680
engineers write the plans for us. Javis

95
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,800
Kirk Higgins uh met with a company to do

96
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,639
the pole inspection for us and we'll be

97
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:33,360
able to write a plan that should work.

98
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,720
However, we con were concerned with the

99
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,759
wirefire mitigation plan would be very

100
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:41,520
difficult for us to figure out what the

101
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,160
PUC wanted as a plan because they had

102
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,720
not given anyone a template for what

103
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,240
they wanted. Uh at the TPPA meeting last

104
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,639
month, I let the head of the PUC know

105
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:55,199
that smaller utilities like us were

106
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:56,960
having problem financing the plant

107
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360
because we did not have the financial

108
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,240
resources that larger utilities have.

109
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,320
Right. After I spoke, a couple of people

110
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,560
who work for Impact Engineering

111
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,720
approached me and said that they could

112
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,560
do a wildfireification

113
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,759
plan at a reasonable cost. Two gentlemen

114
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:17,120
from Impact came week before last and

115
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,360
told us about their process and we've

116
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,960
decided to work with them to put the

117
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,960
plan together at a much lower cost than

118
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,600
we initially thought. We should have a

119
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,440
mitigation plan well before the date

120
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,840
will outline in January.

121
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:33,350
>> Any questions? So that 200,000 estimate

122
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:33,360
» Any questions? So that 200,000 estimate

123
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,560
is that for the pole inspection and the

124
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,120
plan together?

125
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,950
>> Yeah, that's what I put in the budget

126
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:38,960
» Yeah, that's what I put in the budget

127
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,440
for those things both together. So it

128
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,639
looks like we're going to come out on

129
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:43,600
the good on that.

130
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,909
>> Is that the I mean what what is the I

131
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:45,919
» Is that the I mean what what is the I

132
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:47,120
mean what are they looking for? I guess

133
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,000
you don't really know.

134
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,189
>> We really don't know. Uh you just pretty

135
00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:51,199
» We really don't know. Uh you just pretty

136
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:54,720
much have and see if they'll approve.

137
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,230
>> Wow.

138
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:56,240
» Wow.

139
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,430
>> Yeah, that's what we say too. Wow.

140
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,189
Any other questions?

141
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:06,720
» All right. Well, let's move on to the

142
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,240
public hearing which is for the

143
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,520
municipal budget. We are going to open

144
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,960
the public hearing at

145
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,070
605

146
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,280
and Bart is going to present the

147
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,280
the budget. Council members, you have

148
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,080
budget in your packet.

149
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,160
So would you mind presenting it to the

150
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,280
council and the public?

151
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:33,189
>> And a quick overview of the budget. You

152
00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:33,199
» And a quick overview of the budget. You

00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:37,120
all have a copy of it. Should have u the

154
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,360
utility fund will have revenue of

155
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,710
13,50,90.

156
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,870
Uh we budgeted for expenses 13,9,000

157
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,520
50 which will leave us a surplus of

158
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,479
balance in the utility fund of $41,037.

159
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:01,120
The general fund revenue should be

160
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,790
around 13 million71,861.

161
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,880
Uh expenses in the general fund uh will

162
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:17,589
be in the vicinity of uh 13,278,431

163
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:21,199
uh which will give us a $423,430

164
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:24,240
surplus. The total surplus for both

165
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,000
revenue and general fund will be

166
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,909
$464,467.

167
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:32,639
Hopefully the majority of that surplus

168
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:34,800
we'll use on the rocking pillar along

169
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,240
with some other surplus fund. Uh the tax

170
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,280
rate uh is budgeted at 0.575 per $100

171
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,520
valuation which will bring us in

172
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,510
2,990,988.

173
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,240
Uh the certified values this year were

174
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,309
520,71,84.

175
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,520

went down quite a bit.

00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:13,039
» That was that was a mistake I made when

186
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:15,280
I was doing the budget. I left revenue

187
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,230
of $200,000 out of the

188
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,240
general fund, uh, which, uh, I shouldn't

189
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,680
have left out because we're spending

190
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,160
that money on Rocket Pillar.

191
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,360
We're using surplus funds. So, messed it

192
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,440
up. So, I had to move numbering around.

193
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,159
So,

194
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:35,430
>> I mean, it looks like

195
00:08:35,430 --> 00:08:35,440
» I mean, it looks like

196
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,829

» I fixed it before we did the budget. So,

198
00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:40,310

» it brings it in line with what we've

200
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,159
been actually spending.

201
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:43,670
>> Yeah.

202
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:43,680
» Yeah.

203

208
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,160
that this budget is online. If you want

00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,320
to go through it [clears throat]

210
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,800
at home, your phone, wherever. If

211
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,720
anybody wants a copy of it, give me your

212
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,399
email address and I'll send you a copy

213
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:06,550
of it.

214
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,720
» So, did anybody have any I'm assuming

215
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,519
you all went all over it. So, if anybody

216
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,760
had any questions

217
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,389
>> or are we going with the

218
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:16,399
» or are we going with the

219
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:19,120
contingency for the health insurance? Is

220
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,440
that going to be more most in line? I

221
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,680
sent y'all an email this week about what

222
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,720
our insurance advisory company said.

223
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,560
They're still battling with Blue Cross

224
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,160
Blue Shield. There was I think five or

225
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,720
six companies that turned down uh our

226
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,680
policies because of basically you could

227
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,560
call it the experience rate. uh we have

228
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:49,440
uh some sick people or a lot of claims,

229
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,320
let's put it like that. And so they're

230
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,360
trying to negotiate with Blue Cross Blue

231
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,120
Shield and they still don't have us a

232
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,000
solid number yet. That's why I left that

233
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,279
contingency in there.

234
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:09,269
>> Does the public have any questions?

235
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:13,350
council.

236
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,720
» Okay. Well, I'm about to close the

237
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,519
public hearing.

238
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:19,040
So, if that's the case, then we'll close

239
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,257
the public hearing at 609.

240
00:10:22,257 --> 00:10:24,079
[snorts]

241
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:26,399
Now, we'll open the podium to public

242
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:30,240
comments if anybody has any.

243
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,480
Um, I ask you to go to the podium and

244
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,200
state your name. And if Barbara needs

245
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:41,750
you to spell it,

246
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,120
My name is uh Isaiah Durr.

247
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,550
>> You want to spell that last name?

248
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:46,560
» You want to spell that last name?

249
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:52,310
>> Uh Durr. D E R R.

250
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,240
» So

251
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,600
am I. Good to

252
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,150
>> go ahead.

253
00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:56,160
» go ahead.

254
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,310
>> Okay. Uh, members of the council and

255
00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:58,320
» Okay. Uh, members of the council and

256
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,800
citizens of Buouie, I'm Isaiah Durr and

257
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,880
I'd like to publicly oppose the idea of

258
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,800
having automatic license plate reader

259
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,680
cameras or ALPRs, otherwise known as

260
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,600
flock cameras in our town. In this day

261
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,600
and age, we live in a uh constant

262
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,040
surveillance state with our smartphones

263
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,279
containing age verification, facial

264
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:17,279
recognition, web cookies, ad tracking,

265
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:19,279
and thumbrint scanning. It's no secret

266
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:21,360
that online scr uh security should

267
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,120
always be our priority. So, why are we

268
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,680
not embracing further? So, why are we

269
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:27,279
embracing a further breach of our

270
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:29,600
privacy? A LPRs have been reported to

271
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000
identify your Bluetooth chips, uh, track

272
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,600
your individual phone, not just your

273
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,519
plate number, and have been reported to

274
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,120
pick up residential conversations

275
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,560
despite flocks claim that they are

276
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,200
unable to do so. Some ALPR, such as the

277
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,880
Flock Commodore, have been proven to

278
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,480
physically track humans in their phone

279
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,000
screens. The argument can be made that

280
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,560
there is no expectation of privacy on

281
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,079
public roadways but with devices like

282
00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:52,399
the flock drone and flock condor. How

283
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:53,920
are we to feel safe in the fact that our

284
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,839
residential privacy is not in jeopardy?

285
00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:57,680
In addition to this, there have been

286
00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,360
several reports of officers of the law

287
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,680
misusing ALPRs for personal use or

288
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,200
failing to use these tools for what they

289
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,279
intended to do. The statistics for

290
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,200
violent crimes being solved with ALPRs

291
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,959
is shockingly low. and in an area with

292
00:12:08,959 --> 00:12:10,480
such a low crime rate, I failed to

293
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,920
understand what our community would gain

294
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,320
from the installation. Aside from an

295
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,000
unnecessary infiltration of our daily

296
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,839
lives, obviously, I'm not the only

297
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:19,360
citizen concerned with this matter. I

298
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,959
have lived in Buoie my entire life, and

299
00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:22,320
just like many of you, I contribute to

300
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,639
the local economy, and my taxes benefit

301
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:26,320
our local systems, just like many of

302
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,480
you. The petition to have ALPR's banned

303
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,839
in our city is nearing the required

304
00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:31,440
amount of signatures. And I implore you,

305
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,800
my neighbors and friends, to consider

306
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,240
adding your name to stand up for the

307
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,000
privacy and safety of our people. Thank

308
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,040
you for your time.

309
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:42,230
>> Thank you. Thank you.

310
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,279
» Anybody else?

311
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:49,190
>> Oh gosh.

312
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,480
» Uh, good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

313
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,079
My name is Wes Stell. I've lived here in

314
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:56,880
town uh I guess jeez since 1973.

315
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,440
Uh, grandpa bought the shop, dad run it.

316
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,000
I got to run it for a while. Um, as far

317
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,240
as the flock cameras go, uh, I somewhat

318
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,720
do agree with the young man. The

319
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,639
residential privacy, especially in a

320
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:12,240
town like this, is very important to a

321
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,600
lot of us. That's why we've moved here.

322
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,959
That's why we like living in a small

323
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:16,639
town like this. Everybody knows

324
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:18,800
everybody. It's kind of a secure place.

325
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,920
It's safe for all of us. Um, the flock

326
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,360
cameras being in town, I am

327
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,320
somewhat opposed to that. However, on

328
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,480
the other side of that coin, I would

329
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,839
like to point out that down in

330
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:33,440
Jacksboro, they've got a lot of flock

331
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,399
cameras set up at the city limits and

332
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:38,800
they have really cleaned up Jacksboro.

333
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,839
They really have. Um, they've gotten a

334
00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:43,519
lot of drug busts. They've gotten a lot

335
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,519
of arrests and anybody that's lived here

336
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:46,619
in this town knows,

337
00:13:46,619 --> 00:13:47,200
[clears throat and cough]

338
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,240
excuse me, knows that we have had a lot

339
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,040
of problems with drugs in this town. I

340
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,680
for one have been a victim of that in

341
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,399
the 90s. Admittedly, if they had had

342
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:00,399
flock cameras back then, I'm sure I

343
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:02,399
would have gotten in a lot more trouble.

344
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:03,760
And it's hard for me to admit that in

345
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,519
front of everybody, but I'm 50. I guess

346
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,639
it's time. But

347
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:11,519
I would feel remiss if I saw flock

348
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:14,720
cameras right downtown.

349
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,240
I

350
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,160
admittedly it is a major intersection

351
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,160
where the highways come through, but I

352
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,959
feel like if we had the perimeter like

353
00:14:22,959 --> 00:14:25,199
they do in Jacksboro and have the flock

354
00:14:25,199 --> 00:14:28,320
cameras set up. If somebody left town,

355
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,079
say one of your family members left

356
00:14:30,079 --> 00:14:31,760
town, they would be able to know, well,

357
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,760
they left Buoie at such a time they got

358
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,199
through Decada, they got through Fort

359
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:36,880
Worth, they left Fort Worth, they got

360
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,079
through Decada, but they haven't made it

361
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:41,040
home. I can understand how it's a very

362
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,399
effective tool to help with the public.

363
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:46,639
But again, as I'm trying to play devil's

364
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:48,959
advocate, on the other side of the coin,

365
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:51,519
there are have been several internet

366
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:53,040
reports, nothing that I've seen

367
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,360
personally, but you always read and you

368
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,240
always see that uh some officers have

369
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,600
used the flock cameras uh incorrectly.

370
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,360
And I'm not saying that our police

371
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,320
would. I'm saying that maybe a license

372
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,920
plate reader might read a license plate

373
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,800
number wrong or things like that. But

374
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,199
these are the things that

375
00:15:13,199 --> 00:15:15,600
we as the public and we as the world are

376
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,720
having to deal with now with the way

377
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,880
technology is.

378
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,279
I

379
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:22,639
want to let you guys know that I

380
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:24,720
somewhat I I I really oppose the flock

381
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,639
cameras being in town. I don't know if

382
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:30,639
we really need them. You know,

383
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:32,160
I don't know if I need to get flocked

384
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,519
running to Brook showers to grab a

385
00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:35,519
bottle of milk or not. But if I'm going

386
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:37,680
to Fort Worth and I get caught on a

387
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,440
flock camera and I don't make it back

388
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,120
home, that flock camera might help to

389
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,040
protect me. It's a slippery slope and I

390
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,959
would advi I'm here to say that I would

391
00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:49,120
like to advise the city council and the

392
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,600
public, all of us, to look at this with

393
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,279
an open mind and try

394
00:15:57,279 --> 00:15:59,680
to work together. if the public doesn't

395
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,079
want it in town,

396
00:16:02,079 --> 00:16:03,680
if that's what the resol because they're

397
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,360
doing the uh they're they've got the

398
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,959
thing where you can sign up now. Uh and

399
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:12,310
>> if you want to sign up, I'm taking too

400
00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:12,320
» if you want to sign up, I'm taking too

401
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,920
long. I'm sorry I ramble. Anyway, thank

402
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,040
you for your time. Uh and y'all have a

403
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:17,519
good evening.

404
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:18,310
>> Thank you.

405
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:18,320
» Thank you.

406
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:24,310
>> I ramble. I'm sorry.

407
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,440
» Anybody else?

408
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,240
All right. Well, let's um move on from

409
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560
public comments. Let's go to the consent

410
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,800
agenda items. In your packet, you had

411
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,199

00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:40,880

414
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:46,399
So, I would entertain a motion to accept

00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,079

444
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:18,240
Next item on the agenda is

445
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,679
the discussion of the proposed 2026 27

446
00:17:23,679 --> 00:17:26,160
budget for the Buoie Economic

447
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,559
Development Corporation and the Buoie 4B

448
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:30,080
sales tax of which we'll start with the

449
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Buoie Economic

450
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:39,270
Corporation.

451
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,200
Good evening, council. I'm Carlos

452
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Swaford. I'm president of the 4A board.

453
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,080
In your packet, you have two pages of

454
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,799
our budget, which is an expenditure

455
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:54,080
budget. First page, all the line items

456
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,520
you'll see are very close to last year's

457
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,600
amounts. There's been very little

458
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,799
changes. Um, the insurance is,

459
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:06,640
as Bert was saying, we don't know for

460
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,960
sure what ours is going to be either.

461
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,720
So, we've just plugged in a flat fee,

462
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,280
but other than that, it's very close to

463
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,200
what our expenses run. And again, with

464
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,080
very little change over last year. On

465
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,919
page two, you'll see that our

466
00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:27,440
expenditures are 2.2 million. Sounds

467
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,200
like a lot of money,

468
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,950
>> but when you work under business

469
00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:30,960
» but when you work under business

470
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,760
expansion and recruitment. You see that

471
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,080
most of that money is going to finish

472
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,760
our spec building in the industrial park

473
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,760
and um we always try to have money left

474
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,160
over for small projects that might come

475
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,520
up during the year. But the big

476
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,679
expenditure for our year is finishing

477
00:18:51,679 --> 00:18:54,480
that spec building and hopefully getting

478
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,200
a a lease or a renter or get it sold.

479
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,160
Anybody have any questions on anything

480
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,669
you've seen?

481
00:19:05,679 --> 00:19:07,360
» What buildings are covered in your

482
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:08,880
building maintenance? Is it just the

483
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,400
office across the street?

484
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,710
>> Well, no. I mean, we own the we call it

485
00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:14,720
» Well, no. I mean, we own the we call it

486
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,360
the big green giant building out on 81

487
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:20,000
where the waste management company is.

488
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,919
Even though their lease they take care

489
00:19:21,919 --> 00:19:24,603
of most of little maintenance, but

490
00:19:24,603 --> 00:19:25,840
[clears throat] this last year we did

491
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,520
have to do some work on the loading

492
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,000
dock. So, we do have expenses that come

493
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,799
up.

494
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:35,510
>> We also own the building um

495
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:35,520
» We also own the building um

496
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,880
that's Montg Street, Sanders Street. Um

497
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,280
the I call it the old dress factory, but

498
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,840
most of you are not as old as I am, so

499
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,400
you know it as something differently.

500
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,559
But, uh we own that building and we've

501
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,640
had some expense with it. We've had to

502
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,799
do some roof repair that insurance

503
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:57,760
didn't cover. replace a couple broken

504
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,760
windows, you know, that kind of thing.

505
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,280
And then, of course, we have maintenance

506
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,990
on our office building.

507
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,240
Anything else?

508
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,909
Any other questions?

509
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:17,990
» Thank you, Mr. Sford.

510
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,760
» All right, let's go ahead and and hear

511
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,554
the 4B sales tax corporation.

512
00:20:23,554 --> 00:20:24,799
[clears throat]

513
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:27,350
>> Good evening. I'm Wallace representing

514
00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:27,360
» Good evening. I'm Wallace representing

515
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,640
the 4B. Uh you also have our budget with

516
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,679
you about two pages there. Overall, I

517
00:20:33,679 --> 00:20:37,120
know uh pretty much our expenses we

518
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:40,880
budgeted a decline of about 8% and our

519
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,320
revenues are approximately the same. So

520
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,919
really, we've got a couple of projects

521
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:50,640
that we're finishing the project uh out

522
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,919
by the pickle ball court. We've got uh

523
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:56,000
playground equipment, covered playground

524
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,720
area, and we're in the process of

525
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,880
working on some other stuff out there to

526
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,600
improve the park system and make it a

527
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,590
lot better for our citizens.

528
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,120
» It's fantastic. Any questions?

529
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,909
>> I know, council.

530
00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:13,919
» I know, council.

531
00:21:13,919 --> 00:21:14,230
>> Thank you.

532
00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:14,240
» Thank you.

533
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,254
>> I like I love the length of your budget.

534
00:21:17,254 --> 00:21:17,264
» I like I love the length of your budget.

535
00:21:17,264 --> 00:21:19,590
[laughter]

536
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,360
» Thank you.

537
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:23,029
>> All right. So let's go ahead and go back

538
00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:23,039
» All right. So let's go ahead and go back

539
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:24,480
to the vote on the Buoie Economic

540
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,159
Development Corporation budget. I would

541
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:27,520
entertain a motion to accept as

542
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,880
presented.

543

>> So moves,

» So moves,

546
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:33,029
>> Second.

reappoint to the Buoie Economic

609
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:16,799

610
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:20,400
see two names there.

611
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,880
Uh first is Zack Gunner. The second is

612
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,520
Randy West and

613
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,880
you'll hang on a second. Let me get

614
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,320
there on this. We have to um consider

615
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,240
them individually. So, we will take Zack

616
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,640
Gunner as the first. Is Zach in the

617
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,440
room? I didn't see him come in. Um, so

618
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,280
I'd entertain a motion to accept the

619
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,000

00:30:15,919 --> 00:30:17,600

1279
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,480
putting me at the end. I have documents

1280
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,200
if y'all want to see them but I mean

1281
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,400
feel free. Anyway, um I just I I'll be

1282
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,880
really brief first. I I just I wanted to

1283
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,079
inform the public that because uh your

1284
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,000
city council has chosen to be a part of

1285
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,280
the ACSC coalition. Um the rate for

1286
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,200
their attorney is rolled into the rate

1287
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,920
that's passed on and that rate is still

1288
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,800
much lower than what your rate would be

1289
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,560
if they weren't a member. So they're

1290
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,400
very conscientious about trying to do

1291
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,480

1294
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,119
inform them. um on this. I I know that

1295
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:21,680

1296
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,119
wanted to give you all an update of the

1297

city profile of how uh Atmas has

1298
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:28,400

1299

just last year. Um, that's for

1304
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,079
replacements, for repairs, for new new

1305
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:48,560
pipe in the ground, unfortunately, gas

1306
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,079
leaks that have to be, it's

1307
00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:51,599
all-encompassing.

1308
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:56,560
So, um, and, um, we have 1,774

1309
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,960
customers that you are helping to save

1310
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,760
funding for. So, thank you for that. Um,

1311
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,720
we have roughly 22 employees that live

1312
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:07,680
within a radius of 30 miles of Buoie, if

1313
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,640
not within the city limits. So we we do

1314
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,040
that because we want our employees to be

1315
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,119
invested in the communities, not just as

1316
00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:17,599
an employee, but as somebody who pays

1317
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:19,200
taxes and has their kids go to the

1318
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,520
school and eat in the restaurants. And

1319
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,960
so um the very last um piece of

1320
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,440
information that's important is in the

1321
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,079
past year, um Atmas has contributed

1322
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:31,760
$274,000

1323
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,800
in donations that have uh directly

1324
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,280
impacted Monte County in one way or

1325
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,160
another. Um 50% of that is for energy

1326
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,880
assistance though. So if you have a

1327
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,599
resident who is in need of services, you

1328
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:47,680
know, they have a leak on their side of

1329
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:48,880
the meter and they've lived in that

1330
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,640
house for 50 years and they just don't

1331
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,640
have it in their budget to pay for it.

1332
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,280
Um that money goes to helping citizens

1333
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,760
like that and I have my contact

1334
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,359
information on the bottom because people

1335
00:37:59,359 --> 00:38:02,160
just don't want my card anymore. So, if

1336
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,240
you happen to have any questions or

1337
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:07,040
somebody asks you something and you want

1338
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,960
to know more about things like the

1339
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,720
energy assistance, please feel free to

1340
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,280
call me. On the back page, it does talk

1341
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,800
about rates here, but you received the

1342
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,400
big packet. Um, the back page is 811

1343
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,040
because today's National 811 day. So, I

1344
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,200
just wanted to plug in to remind people

1345
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,359
to call 811 before they dig so they're

1346
00:38:25,359 --> 00:38:26,800
not cutting our lines because if they're

1347
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,079
cutting our lines, they're cutting your

1348
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:30,640
lines. And everybody pays a price. And

1349
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,160
the most important thing is that we just

1350
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,599
want people to be safe. So, um, does do

1351
00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:39,920
y'all have any questions for me?

1352
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,109
>> When you're looking at your capital

Texas.

1360
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,310
>> That's a lot.

1361
00:38:48,310 --> 00:38:48,320
» That's a lot.

1362
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,349
>> It Yes, sir. But we do have some older

1363
00:38:51,349 --> 00:38:51,359
» It Yes, sir. But we do have some older

1364
00:38:51,359 --> 00:38:52,720
infrastructure that we're trying to

1365
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,640
replace because we want to be safe. You

1366
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,320
know, we want all of our piping to be

1367
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,240
safe in all of throughout our community.

1368
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,480
So little bits at a time, we're we're

1369
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,640
eating that elephant and and trying to

1370
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,040
go back in and put poly where old pipe

1371
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,359
might be. And you see the pie chart, it

1372
00:39:07,359 --> 00:39:11,119
shows you coated steel, very good pipe,

1373
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:13,599
uh plastic, very good. That bare steel

1374
00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:15,920
is what we'll be continuing to replace.

1375
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,839
And there's 8% steel left in the

1376
00:39:17,839 --> 00:39:22,150
community.

1377
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,599
» Yes, sir.

1378
00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:36,310
>> Is this request for consumption or is it

1379
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,870
Yes, sir.

1380
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,440
» Um, it's it's just the rate that the

1381
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,520
railroad commission deems reasonable for

1382
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,880
reimbursement per customer.

1383
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:58,550
$1,200.

1384
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,880
» If you were to contact uh customer

1385
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,320
service, we could see what we can do

1386
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,560
about reducing.

1387
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,510
>> Oh, dang. Okay. [laughter]

1388
00:40:07,510 --> 00:40:07,520
» Oh, dang. Okay. [laughter]

1389
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,030
Yes, sir.

1390
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:17,109
» Yes, sir. Yes, sir. cheaper.

1391
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:19,119
» I know that commercial customers pay a

1392
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:23,200
higher rate than residents do.

1393
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,790
>> Wow.

1394
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,880
» Um I I also want Boy, you haven't been

1395
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,400
here very long, but this is something

1396
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,560
that we do every single year. and the

1397
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,000
group that does the negotiating for us.

1398
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,240
I know that they do negotiate a rate for

1399
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:42,560
the city of Buouie citizens because I

1400
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,000
also have a home on the outside of the

1401
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,839
city limits and there's considerable

1402
00:40:45,839 --> 00:40:48,800
difference. So, it is a good savings for

1403
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,550
our residents.

1404
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,119
Any other questions?

1405
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:56,640

00:40:59,030 --> 00:40:59,040
» We appreciate it. Do you have to make

1410
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,560
another city council meeting tonight?

1411
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,550
>> No, [laughter] it was no Kona. That

1412
00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:02,560
» No, [laughter] it was no Kona. That

1413
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,240
never happens. No, Conan and Buoie had

1414
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:07,040

00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:11,430
