1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,719
move around.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:16,040
» Yeah, let me throw my chair on the other
side.

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,040
» Just got to get on.

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:33,120
» All right, it is past 5:30, so we will
go ahead and call this meeting to order.

5
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:37,840
Get on the right pile here.
>> I'll call the order. Roll call, please.

6
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:43,800
» Here.
>> Yes.

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,800
» Yes.

8
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,320
» Pull that one up. Oh, okay.

9
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,600
No, not yet.
>> That's okay.

10
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:15,000
» I appreciate you were ready for an
answer, though.

11
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:20,200
» No, we can go ahead and proceed.

12
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:27,400
» All right, we'll go ahead and move on to
observe a moment of silence, please.

13
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:02,680
Thank you. Join me in the pledge of
allegiance.

14
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:13,680
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the

15
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:20,360
republic for which it stands. One nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and

16
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,360
justice for all.

17
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:28,959
» Thank you. Copy of the Communities Act
is posted on the wall in the entryway um

18
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:33,360
here in the library.
It's also available in pamphlet form and

19
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,160
if you follow the link listed within the
agenda. Tonight we're going to be joined

20
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,560
or uh the majority of this special
council meeting will be the zoom

21
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:48,480
presentation by Bobby Petty and Doug
Christensen and they are with the five

22
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:52,239
rule rule planning regarding the vacant
property registry program. Thought I was

23
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:57,120
repeating myself but I'm not. It's
really written that way.

24
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,120
Hi Bobby. Hi Doug. Thanks for joining
us.

25
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:09,360
» Can you guys hear? There we go.
I can hear you. Can you hear me a bit?

26
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:14,720
» Yes.
>> So, just to orient myself to the room,

27
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:21,560
it looks like you guys are looking at my
fave, but I'm looking at the back of

28
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,560
your head. That

29
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,720
» comfortable with it. Yes.
>> Yep. That's correct.

30
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:34,239
» Okay.
Okay. So,

31
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,640
when you get ready question. We might
have to adjust the microphone to make

32
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:43,760
sure I can hear you. Okay.
>> Um, April, thank you for introducing us.

33
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:49,519
I'm Bobby Liz with Doug. You might have
figured that out. Uh,

34
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:55,840
we offer the vacant property registry
program. So, our company is in Cardi,

35
00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:02,799
Nebraska. I I grew up in Verna,
Nebraska. 300 people like just on the

36
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:08,640
edge of this hill. Uh, and then I grew
up and um do community planning now. So

37
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:15,280
I have a master's degree in planning,
but we focus on small towns, communities

38
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:21,919
uh 5,000 and below. So I apologize for
putting the name rural in the business.

39
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:27,120
Uh it's important because uh planning is
often associated with like urban areas

40
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:32,720
or cities, but we focused on rural
planning, farm communities. Turns out

41
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:37,280
it's a really difficult word to say. So
someday maybe I'll fix that or rebrand

42
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:44,560
when I get around to it. I don't know.
Uh and so I started the business in

43
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:48,560
2018. Before that I did um I did
military I did planning for the military

44
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,919
department. I was at the National Guard
for the state of Nebraska and worked

45
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:56,479
full-time. Then I worked with the city
of Cardi and over the building

46
00:04:53,919 --> 00:05:00,960
department um development services
planning and zoning. Then I worked

47
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:05,840
development district. So you guys are
part of PAD area development panhandle

48
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,360
area development district. I worked with
South Central Economic Development

49
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:13,360
District
through a couple more planning jobs and

50
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:21,360
then finally just decided to open my own
shop in 2018 and that seems to be going

51
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:26,720
much better. Uh so we do community and
economic development consulting. Some of

52
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:31,680
our clients are long-term economic
development. Like we serve as their

53
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:36,320
economic developer. We also do like
oneoff plans and studies, housing

54
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:39,840
studies, comprehensive plan, draft your
zoning regulations.

55
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:45,759
And then what I'm going to talk to you
about tonight is we offer vacant

56
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:54,479
property registry administration.
So in 2018, the legislature passed LB256

57
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:59,840
and that made it legal for communities
to create a vacant property registry.

58
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:07,039
Before that, we had no enabling
legislation to allow us to do that. Um

59
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:13,840
so now what our program consists of is
uh the city passes an ordinance, the

60
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:19,840
city engages with the veil law. So, we
only use one attorney to um administer

61
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:26,560
the vacant property registry, and we'll
get into why that's important. Um once

62
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:31,919
you pass the ordinance, engage with lot
and then appoint us as your

63
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:36,960
administrator to a resolution, we create
the registry. The properties that go

64
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:42,960
onto the vacant property registry are
properties that are not occupied that

65
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:50,080
were built to be occupied.
So commercial or residential

66
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:56,319
um the owner gets notified once the
property goes onto the registry and then

67
00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:00,479
for zero to six months there's no charge
for the property to be on the registry.

68
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:05,120
There's no fees assessed.
Um to back up a little bit, once we've

69
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,880
identified a property and decided it
meets all the criteria, we notify the

70
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:16,400
owner that their property meet the
criteria and then we give them 14 days

71
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:21,919
to register. If they don't register
after 14 days, then we register on their

72
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:27,599
behalf essentially because if they are
vacant property and they choose to

73
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:33,520
register, then the old fine of $100 a
day comes into effect. So to not do that

74
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:39,280
we register the property for them as the
administrator. Then once the property is

75
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:45,120
on the registry then the clock starts
ticking. So for 0 to 6 months there's no

76
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:51,599
fee of theft or anything. After 6 months
we accept the first fee. Um for

77
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:57,440
residential the maximum allowable fee
you can assess is $250. For commercial

78
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:02,800
the maximum allowable fee you can
assessment. If we are administering your

79
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:09,120
program, we will strongly strongly
encourage you to accept the maximum

80
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:15,680
fees. Binge um the fee double and add
on. So again, at month zero, nothing in

81
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:21,919
due at month six, if you are a
commercial property, $1,000 in due. If

82
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:27,919
you're a residential property, 250 in
deal. And then fees are set every six

83
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:33,279
months. So at month 12, if you're a
residential property and you didn't pay

84
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:38,479
your first fee, you now will owe 750
because you owe 250 for the first six

85
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:45,760
months and then the 250 will double and
add on to 750 and it carries on that way

86
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:52,320
um up to 10 times the original fee. So
after we get so far into it, it's just

87
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:58,240
$2,500 every six months. The way that we
administer the program and the reason

88
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:06,120
that utilize available lot is that feed
that go untaid we will assess a lean

89
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,120
against the property for unt

90
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:15,760
since 2018 and so we have quite a bit of
data and experience and we just decided

91
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:22,000
the other night that the sweet spot is
right around two and a half to three

92
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:28,399
years around that time we if you're a
house we will have lean roughly $3,700.

93
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:33,680
So when we get to that point, that's
when we start to foreclose on the leans.

94
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:39,360
Eventually the property will go to
auction then and sometimes we have a

95
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:43,279
private individual that wants to flip a
property that does show up and buy the

96
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:48,959
property. If there's nobody that's
interested in the property, then the

97
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:54,399
cities will end up with the property. If
you have a CRA or a CA, we would like

98
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:59,200
them to be the one that ends up with the
property and we can help you set that

99
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:05,200
up. If you've never worked with like
substandard studies or tax financing or

100
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:10,000
utilize the CRA or CDA, then we can help
you with that. But we'd like you to have

101
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:15,839
that body available
when we administer the program and often

102
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:22,000
coming from MRA to Doug Go. I'm about to
tell the story of being a kid. Nebraska

103
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:28,640
walking to school and like Aunt Edna
died and then Leota died and then Jenny

104
00:10:25,839 --> 00:10:35,279
and June died and then nothing happened
with their house and so 1994 I'm walking

105
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:39,600
to school in Verna vacant house after
vacant house after vacant house and then

106
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,360
after a while you have to ask yourself
what does that make you think about your

107
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:48,480
community and then what does that make
you think about yourself and so when we

108
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:53,440
administer the vacant property registry,
we have an end goal in mind to see

109
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:59,279
something happen with these properties.
So, we want the properties either to be

110
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:07,839
occupied or demolished and that's the
way that we operate the program with an

111
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:13,120
end goal in mind. So, we charge I know
you're you're probably wondering that uh

112
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:17,279
what's this going to cost? We charge
$6,500

113
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:23,600
I think.
That's what I said. Uh, and it's a black

114
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:29,200
feed and we assess it every we charge
you every quarter for setting up the

115
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:36,160
registry and administering the program.
If we become your administrator, Doug

116
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:40,000
would visit you every six months. So, we
report to you on a six-month basis.

117
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,600
These are the properties on the
registry. These are the properties that

118
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,920
have unpaid leans. These are the
properties that we can assess lean on.

119
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:54,399
now and we come to you every six months
with a static update but we would send

120
00:11:50,560 --> 00:12:00,160
you a report every quarter
um after the first year then we would

121
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:05,519
reassess our contract so we are your
administrator for a year at a time um at

122
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:10,480
the end of the first year maybe we ended
up spending a lot more time on your

123
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:15,760
community than I had budgeted for or
maybe a lot of your property got off the

124
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:19,920
registry right away and we have a couple
properties you're managing, then we

125
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:24,560
would reduce our fees. So, there's the
administrative fee of paying us.

126
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:30,639
Honestly, we're probably the cheapest of
the costs you're going to incur. When

127
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:34,800
you engage with the law, the attorney
that will be representing you is Drew

128
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:39,200
Graham, and he's out of and he's out of
York. He's a municipal attorney

129
00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:45,360
representing numerous communities across
the state. You'll pay $1,000 when you

130
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:50,880
sign the engagement letter with him and
then he'll generate your ordinance and

131
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:57,120
your other documents to get you started.
Then you'll only pay his hourly rate

132
00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:04,000
when needed. So if you guys are like
Sutton and Skyler and everybody in

133
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:08,800
Crawford is lawyered up and we get uh
hot Doug say the other day hot phone

134
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:14,240
call. We get hot call from lawyers. When
a lawyer calls us and says they're going

135
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:18,399
to sue us, we say, "That's great. I'm so
glad that you have a lawyer. Now, your

136
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:24,160
lawyer can talk to our lawyer." And so,
when Drew returns the call, then you pay

137
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:29,440
his fee. When it comes time to assess
leans, you'll you'll pay for Drew's time

138
00:13:26,959 --> 00:13:34,240
to assess the leans. We think our
process is very efficient because Drew

139
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:40,399
knows that we are doing all the
necessary notifications as required by

140
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:44,240
law. So when it's time to file a lean,
he knows our process and that we've gone

141
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,839
through the step, but he will be the
attorney that files the lean. And then

142
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:52,720
when we get to the point that we're
going to foreclode on the leans, Drew

143
00:13:50,639 --> 00:14:00,720
will be the one that we do through that
process. His billable rate is getting up

144
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:03,920
there. around 320 an hour. Uh, but I'm
willing to pay good money for a

145
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:08,240
municipal attorney that's going to get
something done. And so if you check with

146
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:12,399
some of the communities that we work
with, I think you'll hear that he's very

147
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,839
efficient and effective. I don't know if
you're a city attorney in the room. I

148
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,160
don't know if there's any lawyers in the
room. Uh, one of the biggest

149
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:24,079
frustrations the working for the
development district and doing dudes

150
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:28,880
with abatement and then um just trying
to work on dangerous buildings in

151
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:34,000
general. A big roadblock I often run
into with the municipal attorney the

152
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:39,680
local attorney. They don't specialize
municipal law. They're pretty busy

153
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:43,680
anyway or you know seven times out of 10
they have to conflict out because they

154
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:49,519
have some connection to the property
owner. So we think it clears up a lot of

155
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:55,519
issues just to bring a lawyer with us.
Our lawyer will travel but we don't want

156
00:14:52,800 --> 00:15:00,639
to go around your attorney. So if your
attorney doesn't like the program then

157
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:06,000
we don't want to do it because your at
your appointed attorney attorney needs

158
00:15:04,079 --> 00:15:09,040
to be a partner. We don't want them to
be somebody that we're working against.

159
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,519
We tried that in the community and that
was real painful.

160
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:19,920
So,
uh, which direction do we want to know?

161
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:23,920
What questions might do we want to go?
What questions might you have? I think

162
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:29,199
just to start off with, I want to
clarify. You said the 6500 is due

163
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:33,440
quarterly and not annually. Did I hear
that right?

164
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:39,600
» Yeah, quarterly. So, the first quarterly
payment is due when we execute the

165
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:43,279
contract and then every quarter after
that.

166
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:47,839
» Okay. quarter of CC500.
It's build quarterly.

167
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,759
» Oh, so the 6500 is the annual rate, but
it's build quarterly.

168
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,519
» Yes.
>> Oh, okay. Cuz I understood that. But

169
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:58,000
during the first meeting that you guys
said, so then I sold it as that. And

170
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,600
then tonight as you spoke, I was worried
it was 6,500

171
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:06,959
» instead of being 28,000
>> for Yeah. for to be a total of a lot

172
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,199
more than 6,500 annually. So, thank you
for that clarification. So,

173
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:14,320
» split total.
>> No, that that's okay. Thank you. That

174
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:18,320
that helps a lot with that
clarification. And then the next

175
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:22,160
question that that came to mind the more
that I thought about it after uh the

176
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:28,079
initial presentation that I witnessed
through our land bank meeting um was as

177
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:32,720
you assess the fines
um to residential and business

178
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:38,480
properties, how are those fines
processed? Are those fines that you guys

179
00:16:35,199 --> 00:16:45,680
retain and use to help you uh make more
process with more uh more properties or

180
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:50,880
do those fees and fines go to the city?
So the payment the check would be made

181
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:56,480
out to the city. They can pay it direct
to you or they can mail it to us and

182
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:01,839
then we would record in our database but
then immediately put in the mail to you

183
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:08,079
guys. If they do pay it to you directly
then we would just asked if you could uh

184
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:11,760
send us a a scan of the payment method
or something just so we can uh record

185
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,880
that. But all payments would be going
through

186
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:18,000
» okay
>> to you.

187
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:22,000
» Okay. I again this we're super excited
about this and this all sounds extremely

188
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:27,760
wonderful and I'm still looking for the
part that I'm not thinking of. So my

189
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,880
apologies for being hesitant or
um feeling like this feels like the

190
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,240
perfect answer to something that we've
been looking for for quite some time.

191
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,679
and and how unusual that we could afford
it. Um but yeah, that was one thing I

192
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,799
thought, well, maybe they get to keep
the fees. Maybe that's why it's so

193
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,440
affordable. So, thank you for the
clarification on that.

194
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:50,000
I
>> have a question. So, how do you um do

195
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:53,840
the first goound of I mean, you can't
get every vacant property all at one

196
00:17:51,760 --> 00:18:00,400
time. Do you do it by sections of the
city? Are you looking for us to give

197
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:06,600
direction on that or do you come in
of all the properties in the city and

198
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:06,600
make a list.

199
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:16,480
» We start with your list of inactive
accounts. So your residential utility

200
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:23,600
accounts and your commercial utility
accounts that have been inactive for a

201
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:27,120
long time that that's where we start. So
in the beginning when I was very

202
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:31,760
conservative
if your utilities were on you didn't

203
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:35,280
have to be on the registry. We have
since changed that you need more than

204
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:42,320
just your utilities on to be off the
registry but most people turns out not

205
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:48,480
all people in a grass but most people do
not occupy a house if there's no running

206
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:54,000
water electricity. So that's what we
start with and then Doug will come to

207
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:58,320
Crawford and sit down with the clerk and
whoever else and discuss the

208
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:02,880
circumstances of each property. For
instance, if the owner of the vacant

209
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:07,039
property is right next door,
uh not really worth fighting over, we

210
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:12,480
would just like to have them replat or
something. Um maybe the appears vacant

211
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,400
because the utility, but there's some
other circumstance or maybe after you

212
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:22,000
visit with Doug, other properties will
come to mind. Um another decision we

213
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:28,799
made in
had like has more than 50. Uh we are

214
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:32,799
doing 10 at a time. So it's up to you.
We don't we're not going to section the

215
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:36,960
town off. I feel like I would like you
to start with the lowest hanging fruit.

216
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:42,880
Like the properties that everybody in
the community knows has been empty for a

217
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:49,039
long time and it's sort of like a morale
killer. And a lot of like local owners

218
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,640
will usually get off the registry right
away and maybe they just haven't

219
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:57,280
realized how hard that is on the
community to leave a property vacant.

220
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:02,559
But owners like where the owners are,
we've had situations, we've had the most

221
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:07,440
success or I think where we have proven
that we are needed the most. The owner

222
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:13,280
is deceased and no next kid has any
interest. The owner has is mentally ill.

223
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:20,080
We found an owner in a homeless shelter
one time that just drove away from his

224
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:25,120
house. Uh the owner is in prison. Um
maybe it's a landlord that can't afford

225
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:28,559
to fix a house back up. So those
circumstances where you know the land

226
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:32,880
owners are long gone, the property
owners are long gone or

227
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:38,159
they don't they just don't have the
means to do something with the house

228
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:41,760
because once we assess a lean now we
have a financial interest in the

229
00:20:39,679 --> 00:20:45,960
property and now we have a lot more
power to make something happen.

230
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:51,919
That was a long answer, but but
basically I think I answered it. I think

231
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:56,720
I answered your question.
>> So, we have some

232
00:20:54,080 --> 00:21:00,320
Go ahead. I'm sorry. Go ahead.
>> No, no, it's it's up to you guys's

233
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:03,360
discretion.
As far you don't have to do the whole

234
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,880
town at
>> we have some properties that are

235
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:11,520
actively on sale and I see on your
guys's list um as long as they were

236
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:16,159
being sold and long as it didn't
circumvent a certain amount that then

237
00:21:13,919 --> 00:21:22,240
they would be off of it. A lot of these
properties are overpriced. How do we go

238
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:27,360
about putting the pressure on these? And
they've been been open for some of them

239
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:32,480
as long as five, six, seven years
on the commercial side. I'm looking at

240
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:38,640
which is what I'm looking at.
>> So the the law said that if a property

241
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:43,600
is listed for sale, it cannot go on to
the registry. Our ordinance, the law

242
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:50,000
does not, but our ordinance, we took the
liberty of defining what for sale mean.

243
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:53,520
And so we say that it has to be listed
in active listing with an agent. But I

244
00:21:52,159 --> 00:21:57,919
need to be able to Google the property
online and find it. And then it cannot

245
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:04,000
the purchase price. It cannot be
advertised as more than 125% of its

246
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:08,559
assessed value. We have not been
challenged on that.

247
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:12,880
» We defined that on our own, but that's
that's the rule we've been sticking to

248
00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:17,600
and so far so good with that.
>> How is your taxes assessed this last

249
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:21,440
year?
>> Well, you know what? We're all over the

250
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:27,360
state. So, we're down in Dundy County.
We're up in Cing County, Buffalo County.

251
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:32,640
Fern County is way behind county is
another town, they're way behind on

252
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:38,799
their assessment. Uh Buffalo County is
pretty close to 90% below market rate.

253
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:44,320
So it will depend a little bit on on
higher as their census properties, but

254
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:47,440
still sticking with 125% of the test
value.

255
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:50,159
» Many of our properties have been um we
just had our assessment go through this

256
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:56,240
year and they've doubled on some of
these. So I was just curious.

257
00:22:54,320 --> 00:23:00,000
» Yeah.
You know, I get the yellow postcard from

258
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:04,960
the assessor and they're like, "Oh, your
house is nice. Your taxes are going up."

259
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:09,120
And I'm like, "Screw you." Like, next
year, "Oh, you're not so nice." Yeah,

260
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:14,400
» your taxes are going down. I'm still
like, "Screw you." So, uh, not helpful.

261
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:18,640
I know that's not helpful. That's how I
feel about property tax assessments.

262
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:22,640
» So, once we decide to go forward, if we
decide to go forward, how long um we

263
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:26,559
need to give you a listing then or sit
down with Doug and get a listing? How

264
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:30,799
soon can you get started on this? How
long will it take to get started? Are we

265
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:35,520
looking this summer? Are we looking next
year?

266
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:38,799
» First thing First thing, if you sign a
contract, because I don't want to sound

267
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:44,000
like a jerk, but I don't want to work
for free. You sign a contract first.

268
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:49,679
Once you sign the contract, then when
you're when you get the list together,

269
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:54,240
then we will get up to Coftton and get
it going. So, um,

270
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,440
» or not.
away.

271
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:58,880
» Huh?
>> We're not Croftton. It's Crawford.

272
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:04,960
Croftton and Crawford are two different
spots.

273
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:10,480
» I'm so sorry. Crawford, too. So, if I
call you Croftton, I mean Frosters.

274
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:14,320
» I know you're a long way. I know you're
handle. I know you're clear the hell up

275
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:20,640
there. Both of you are kind of close to
South Dakota in my defense, but uh you

276
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:24,559
know, I know you shouldn't do that. I
know you shouldn't mix up town, but I

277
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:28,960
did the founders of the state to get a
little more bit creative when they're

278
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:34,480
naming all these all these communities.
I may I may call you Clarkson too and I

279
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:40,400
apologize for that but I know you're
Crawford. Awesome. Um, another thing

280
00:24:37,919 --> 00:24:45,679
that had come to mind u the more I
thought about this and and setting it up

281
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:51,279
and and how how we determine which
properties are appropriate to be on this

282
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:56,400
registry and how we how we determine
which ones qualify. Um, I'm not I'm not

283
00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:02,080
sure how many communities you've run
across that have an RTS or a ready to

284
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:06,640
serve uh fee. So, a property in our
community doesn't have to have a

285
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:12,799
building on it, but if they have water
services up to their property, then they

286
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:16,880
pay a ready to serve fee monthly. So,
that is it's a different utility than

287
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:21,440
just the regular utility of serving
water and sewer. So, I I'm not sure if

288
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:27,919
you guys have come across that yet or
how that impacts assessing whether a

289
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:33,919
property is vacant or or or how we
assess um to put it on the registry

290
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:38,320
because there will be properties that
that have vacant lots on them that have

291
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:42,880
a ready to serve. Many of them that are
problem properties don't pay that ready

292
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:48,600
to serve. So that's part of the problem.
Um, but there are some that are vacant

293
00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:48,600
that are paid.

294
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:59,120
Vacant lots or vacant houses? Both.
So, the vacant lot, Newman Grove does

295
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:04,720
that, too. If a if the service runs by
your lot, you have to pay for the

296
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:07,200
service. Um, if it's a vacant lot, it's
never going to come up for us. It's not

297
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,400
going to be an issue.
>> Correct. If they're paying that base

298
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:15,679
rate, if they're paying the ready to
third, but it's a vacant house, then we

299
00:26:13,679 --> 00:26:18,640
can still put it on to the registry.
>> Okay.

300
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:24,000
» It has to be it has to be residential or
a commercial building. Correct. It can't

301
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:26,799
just be a lot. I mean, lot
>> empty lots are not don't need to be on

302
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,400
the registry.
>> Right. Okay.

303
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,440
» Right. Yes. And these are buildings like
when I think about it, these are

304
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:39,840
buildings that were built to be
occupied. So, brain bed, no. That's not,

305
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:45,919
you know, a metal machine shed, probably
not. But like a a downtown business, a

306
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:51,120
retail business, a commercial business
by utilities. Um, a lot of times we get,

307
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:56,720
well, it's not vacant, it's storage.
Well, if it wasn't built to be a cold

308
00:26:53,360 --> 00:27:03,840
storage facility, then I'm not I'm not
I'm not buying that. I'm not doing that.

309
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:09,080
» Thank you, Bobby, for continu.
I said, "Thank you, Bobby, for

310
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:09,080
continuing to say the right things."

311
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:17,600
I'm telling you, I thought about I
thought about it a lot before I became I

312
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:23,279
had nothing to do with passing the law,
but once it was passed, I was very I was

313
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:27,120
like, "Let's go."
And we I will tell you, we've made a

314
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:30,640
we've cut our teeth. We have learned
some lessons along the way. There's

315
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:35,919
probably still lessons that he learned
in Broford. There's probably the

316
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:40,960
exciting circumstances that you have
that we never would have thought of. Uh,

317
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:47,039
but we're just we're plugging away. I
keep it I keep the price low. I keep it

318
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:52,000
affordable because coming from well, not
really western Nebraska compared to you

319
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:57,600
guys coming from central Nebraska, but
being raised by a Sand Hills rancher, I

320
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:06,960
understand and respect private property
rights. And I also know how quickly this

321
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:11,120
program can be misunderstood. And so I I
probably care about this program the

322
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:16,799
most out of all the services we offer.
But I keep the price low because if uh

323
00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:20,080
if something happens and you decide you
don't want to do it anymore, I don't

324
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:24,559
want you to be such a big client that I
have to pressure you into it. Otherwise,

325
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,919
I'm going to lose too much money on you.
>> Sure.

326
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,799
Well,
>> I want to keep the pride and love as

327
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,240
possible.
>> Right. Well, thank you for loving it

328
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:36,720
enough that this program even exists
because there's I know we're not the

329
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:43,760
only rural community where maintaining
and and adding additional workloads to

330
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:48,080
our very small already um employee base
is is even an option. Um so we we

331
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:52,159
certainly appreciate that people like
you care enough about rural rural

332
00:28:49,679 --> 00:28:56,880
Nebraska America to create these kind of
programs and these and offer these

333
00:28:53,679 --> 00:29:00,320
services. So, thank you.
>> Can you tell us thank you for your

334
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:07,640
interest?
>> Can you tell us some success stories

335
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,640
» that you've had in in Nebraska?

336
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:15,200
» Oh, yeah. Uh, I'm going to tell you my
favorite and then Doug, you can tell

337
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:21,159
your favorite. I'll be thinking about
it, Doug. My favorite is acknowled

338
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:38,720
right now talking to you guys.
Sorry about that. I'm also a real

339
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:43,760
person. I'm not like a consultant. I'm
like a consultant makes it sound like I

340
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:50,159
have my best way more together than I
do. Anyway, my favorite. My favorite

341
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:55,360
story is the Rapone Nebraska. And mind
you, we do a lot more for Rapo. So, we

342
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:59,840
were prepared, but it was an icky house
a block off of Main Street. So, Highway

343
00:29:57,679 --> 00:30:05,120
283, go through Rapo on your way to
Kansas, hole in the foundation. Uh,

344
00:30:03,679 --> 00:30:10,080
somebody had bought it with the best
intention, then fell in love and Norton.

345
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:16,399
Um, we put on the registry. We kept
doing the lean. She kept ignoring it. We

346
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:20,640
the leans went up to7500. He called me
owner called me one day asked the will

347
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:25,279
and asked what it was going to take to
get rid of the $7,500 lean. And I asked

348
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:30,799
if he'd sign the property over to the
CRA in Arapaho. And he did. And so we

349
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:35,919
ended up with this nice corner lot with
this icky house. And really the only

350
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:41,520
cost that we had in it was RC for
setting up the registry. So he found the

351
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:46,240
property over. We waved the $7,500 lean.
At the same time,

352
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:51,200
uh Shannon, it's her name. She started
baking. She's a farm wife, ranching

353
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:57,120
wife, started baking out of her kitchen.
Wanted to grow her baking business. It's

354
00:30:53,760 --> 00:31:01,840
called Taken. T A K I N. Taking care of
business if you want to look her up. She

355
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:06,080
was looking for somewhere to put in a
commercial kitchen so she could stop

356
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:10,799
being cottage industry and start to sell
her baked goods wholesale. Uh could not

357
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:16,080
find a commercial kitchen that she could
afford to buy in the area. So, we have

358
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:20,880
this nice corner lot, not nice corner
lot, we have the torn lot with icky

359
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:28,480
house. She and the CRA made a deal. So,
the CRA sold over the lot for $1,000.

360
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:34,799
She waved her right to tip, tax
increment financing. The CRA paid $1,000

361
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:41,600
and demolished the house and cleared the
lot for her. She didn't pay the $11,000.

362
00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:48,240
Said $1,000 to the lot. After they paid
the $11,000 and the lot, sold it for her

363
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:53,360
for a,000. The part of the deal was she
was going to have to put a commercial

364
00:31:50,159 --> 00:32:01,440
building on there within a year, which
she did. So, um, where he sat on the

365
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:05,760
corner lot in Arapjo, there's now a
bakery called Taking Tear Business where

366
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:11,679
she does I don't know if you guys ever
got a backed um convenience store, but

367
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:17,919
she's in the process of getting her
products into Fat Dogs. But um instead

368
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:21,679
of having this little house that just
makes you feel depressed when you look

369
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:26,559
at it in the drain in the community,
that house is gone. A new commercial

370
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:32,880
bakery is there with a little venue
attached to it. And that's probably my

371
00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:38,080
favorite story so far. Okay, Doug, you
tell them yours.

372
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:44,320
Well, my favorite one would be uh in
Hampton. Um there's this there's this uh

373
00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:52,640
old commercial property in downtown
Hampton that uh was changing hands

374
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:59,039
between various LLC's and estates and uh
so through the vacant property registry

375
00:32:54,720 --> 00:33:05,440
and then also surveillance work on the
on the title uh this this commercial

376
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:12,399
property ended up in the hands of a
local a local owner who who who started

377
00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:18,559
a restaurant there and and and so that's
the loading shoot there in Hampton. And

378
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:23,919
so every time I go over to to Hampton
every quarter to do their update, uh

379
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:29,519
swing through Hampton and have some
delicious food. I know it's not direct,

380
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:38,880
but it's indirectly somewhat the fruit
of my labor um to eat there at the shoot

381
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:45,120
uh in I think they even won a like a
restaurant tournament in Nebraska a

382
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:48,559
couple years ago in in uh in their food
quality.

383
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:52,559
current NFJ
is this call.

384
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,600
Awesome.
>> Well, we're we're running into our

questions. I'll open up to the public
just really quick just in case somebody

recognizing officers who died in the
line of duty in Crawford.

446
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:04,320
Basically,
let me give you a little background. My

447
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:11,040
name is David.
Started off police department chair when

448
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:14,480
I was 28. Ended up running three terms
and then

449
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:20,000
did not recommend him and become a
school teacher and stuff. And in my

450
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:25,760
research, I ended up finding about how
many law enforcement officers have been

451
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:32,640
killed in the state of Nebraska. And so
we I started a book called tour duty and

452
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:38,400
watch every cop killed to honor them at
Grand Island and nationally if we could.

453
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:44,480
And we've been doing that. And what I'm
going to read tonight is actually what

454
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:52,640
is on Grand Island Law Enforcement
Memorial and a little bit different than

455
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:56,160
the lady. I know where Cass
appreciate that.

456
00:40:53,680 --> 00:41:02,880
» A little side note,
one of the second interview I ever did

457
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:08,400
in my life was at Crawford State Park. I
came and joined a family reunion of the

458
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:14,880
Saxon family when I was dating my wife
to be and I think they interviewed me to

459
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:19,599
find out where I was coming from. I want
to tell you personally and I talked

460
00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:24,000
about Crawford being very very special
place and you should be commended what

461
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:30,240
you've done over the years and will
continue to do. Uh we started that was

462
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:35,200
in 1965 or 66
already been having family re

463
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:42,319
So we have been currently having family
reunions in your park for probably 60 or

464
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:46,640
70 years and we come down to all the
parades.

465
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:53,040
I've been in a couple of parades in my
fighting thing and we do that. We also

466
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:58,160
come back Memorial Day and we are
probably even more consistent coming

467
00:41:55,119 --> 00:42:04,000
back Memorial Day because our family, my
wife's family all started in this area

468
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:07,880
with some of the earliest people. So
it's an honor for me.

469
00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:19,119
So,
with that said, I'd love to read this to

470
00:42:17,119 --> 00:42:26,640
you so everybody understands what's
going on. These are old

471
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:30,400
uh incidents because I felt my wife felt
that a lot of these people were not

472
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:37,359
being recognized. The first one is
Marshall Arthur A. Moss, Crawford,

473
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:41,920
Nebraska, end of Watts, May 13, 1906.
Crawford Marshall Arthur A. Moss died

474
00:42:40,079 --> 00:42:48,560
from a gunshot wound.
7:30 on Sunday May 13th 1906 Marshall M

475
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:53,200
was attempting to disperse a group of
soldiers in the drinking bear and began

476
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:58,880
to create a disturbance when he stepped
into the area while the soldiers threw

477
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:05,680
his revolver and shot it. He died a
short time later fled and was later

478
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:12,240
captured. He was found guilt and seven
years in state for manslaughter. He was

479
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:17,760
actually 31 years old. He's very lucky
because a lot of the people I read about

480
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:23,119
that area, the model go get the killer
out of jail

481
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:26,440
and so he was probably very that is the
first one

482
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:38,040
and the second one happened in 1955.
Chief of police Charles

483
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:47,359
Prophet Chief of Police Charles Esry
delighted the result of a heart attack

484
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,359
following the call and arrested the
American.

485
00:43:54,079 --> 00:44:01,920
When this family called for tear gas
canister gas arrived, he decided to

486
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:08,160
throw it through a basement window. By
doing this, the suspect fire

487
00:44:05,839 --> 00:44:13,760
was a woman that suffered a heart attack
following the attack on his wife that

488
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:18,560
soon was 62 years old and survived by
his wife and two children and I think

489
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:23,839
when I do my story that's probably the
hardest thing is survived by wife and

490
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:29,119
children
and ended their life and these

491
00:44:25,839 --> 00:44:33,200
individuals gave everything for law
enforcement in this town and the town

492
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:39,200
state
and it's pretty impressive

493
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:43,640
they would get that. And so we'd be
honored to honor them today.

494
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,400
» There you go. Thank you.

495
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:02,800
» Well, thank you so much for contacting
us and and bringing this to our

496
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:08,680
attention and helping us uh remember
these individuals that have served our

497
00:45:04,319 --> 00:45:08,680
community. That means a lot to me.

498
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:20,200
» That's so thoughtful.
>> Thank you so much.

499
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:39,760
» Um
I think might this is all very soon that

500
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:43,400
we've been notified of it. This will
happen fairly quick.

501
00:45:44,319 --> 00:45:49,920
» So family
we we're in the middle of considering

502
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:53,920
where we're going to we're hoping to
move the sheriff's office so it might

503
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,800
come to fruition or it might be in a
great place where it can be somewhere

504
00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:02,640
where they're at and where the public
can come see it.

505
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:06,160
» We'll let you know.
Awesome.

506
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,440
Well, thank you. All right, we'll go
ahead and move back. We'll start with

507
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:13,960
our reports. So, if we can start with
reports from park and cemetery, please.

508
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:26,400
» So, I'm going to uh defer a little bit
to our wonderful park employee because

509
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:29,520
everybody keeps saying the best park in
the world.

510
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:34,480
» It's true.
So that that creates a little bit of

511
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:39,920
problems for us as a as a board because
we we know we have such a great resource

512
00:46:38,079 --> 00:46:44,720
and and he does a great job, but he
can't do it all by himself. So we spent

513
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:49,280
a bunch of time um this this last two
meetings actually thinking about who and

514
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:54,800
how much can we pay people to do stuff.
And so we've really I wore out to win

515
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:59,760
seriously because I know that Miss Harry
is going to be looking over her shoulder

516
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:06,720
and and this is the first year of my
tenure in the park board that I think I

517
00:47:03,119 --> 00:47:11,520
really get the budget. I mean it was it
was a series of numbers that I had no

518
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:16,640
input on a year ago. I could be I have
no relationship to those. So with your

519
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:21,920
help in us helping us understand what we
have we really tried to

520
00:47:19,359 --> 00:47:28,800
And and then we had better than we
expected applicants.

521
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:34,480
Wow, that's great. We had three young
people in in high school. We have and we

522
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:38,160
had two people that uh had an ability to
work a little bit longer. And so we

523
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:42,319
wanted to be able to kind of play with
the numbers and everything. So I we

524
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:47,760
asked for uh actually Kevin was really
excited about Hazel uh since coming on.

525
00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:52,640
She's got good experience and then um
has an ability to work for a long period

526
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:56,240
of time. So, and then we're probably
going to go back with Ian because he can

527
00:47:54,319 --> 00:48:01,359
work one or two days a week. Doesn't
bother and that's great. I did talk with

528
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:06,160
all the kids and they would work
part-time. I mean, as a we got a day

529
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:11,200
when like the cemetery, we got the
crosses to go in. Is that right? From

530
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:14,400
John Jones's class. So, that's going to
be a day to put up a bunch of crosses.

531
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:19,200
So that's the kind of things that I
think that as Kevin works to manage the

532
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:24,559
the opportunities we've got with people
plus I think we talked about volunteers

533
00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:32,160
as well. So there's a lot going on and
the park board is really

534
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:36,000
I hesitated to uh to push a little bit
on the budget but again in April and

535
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:42,480
she's been very honest with us that
there is no more budget to work with. So

536
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:46,960
we're going to pencil with Terry every
period, I think, and to watch that. I've

537
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:52,640
asked Kevin to be watchful for the hours
that we're we're um expecting the people

538
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:58,960
to work in so that we keep on track for
you and everybody in our city. Um I will

539
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:05,280
say that we did talk a couple other
things. So, Crawford Serving Humanities

540
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:12,720
is um interested in donating some
lighting at the ball fields for

541
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:19,440
especially for um the um September event
and uh Roger contacted us. He is they

542
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:25,040
are planning to purchase and install
two 60,000

543
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:30,160
water lumen LED flood lights for the
ball field. And they would be in use for

544
00:49:27,839 --> 00:49:34,960
them, but will leave them for us to be
able to use. They are uh you can move

545
00:49:32,319 --> 00:49:38,079
them. So, and there's a light switch at
the bottom of the pole. Looks like

546
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:43,760
they'll be on first and third base is
what they looked at. Um they'll be

547
00:49:41,359 --> 00:49:48,240
adjustable and that 40 to 50 foot high
is where they'll be now. He said that's

548
00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:54,319
a lot of lumens and sometimes people
complain about the light, but you can

549
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:59,200
turn them off. So, they will also have a
um dawn to dusk flood light for the new

550
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:03,760
flag pole that's going in out there as
well.

551
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:08,400
» And when we were looking at um the the
lights that don't work, we asked them if

552
00:50:06,079 --> 00:50:13,520
they could squeeze in their budget the
bulbs to replace on those lights that

553
00:50:11,599 --> 00:50:18,400
are not work currently working. We
talked with Jared have Kevin called

554
00:50:16,079 --> 00:50:22,400
Jared and so he's he said, you know, I
just haven't had time to get out and

555
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:27,680
look at the and stuff. It's probably
okay to go ahead and put those bulbs in.

556
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:33,599
So, no cost to you guys. Think we'll get
those lighting pieces put together. I'm

557
00:50:30,240 --> 00:50:40,440
really excited about that. So, more
stuff to uh add to our beautiful city.

558
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,440
Questions?

559
00:50:41,359 --> 00:50:47,839
» Well, thank you, Jeff. That's wonderful
to hear you guys working with others and

560
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:52,559
getting those donations to to come into
the city where we can help them and let

561
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:55,559
them So we appreciate it
library.

562
00:51:01,359 --> 00:51:10,000
So
March marked a fair weather uptick in

563
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:18,400
library numbers and usage. We had 501
patrones and visits. We had 45 computer

564
00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:23,760
lab uses 30 prior month. circulated 352
materials in the library to include 60

565
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:32,000
DVDs,
136 ebooks and audio books and 23

566
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:36,960
digital audio materials.
Uh upcoming events that we have well the

567
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:43,359
library has an event kind of coming up
this Thursday. We're actually closing

568
00:51:39,359 --> 00:51:49,040
early at 4 o'lock Thursdays because one
we were nominated as the attraction of

569
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:53,520
the year at the discover
Nebraska chest of the Northwest event.

570
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:56,960
So, we're going to have a booth at that
event

571
00:51:55,200 --> 00:52:03,520
participate in their activities that
evening, but will be otherwise open from

572
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:09,200
noon to 400 p.m. that day.
The next event for patrons will be April

573
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:13,680
21st at 5:00 here at the library. It's
trivia night. The theme will be

574
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:17,920
folklore.
So we're excited for that as well.

575
00:52:15,599 --> 00:52:24,240
Crochet knitting club continues on April
24th at 1:30. Reading group will be on

576
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:28,559
May 1st. It's usually the first Friday
of the of the month. So May 1st is going

577
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:33,839
to be
Mayday. The friends of the library's

578
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:39,760
next meeting will be May 5th at 12 and
the next board meeting will be May 11th

579
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:45,599
at 12 p.m. as well.
more topical things. So, I've mentioned

580
00:52:42,559 --> 00:52:49,359
before that the library was awarded an
internship grant from the Nebraska

581
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:56,240
Library Commission. And just to give
everybody a refresher on what that

582
00:52:52,160 --> 00:53:01,040
entails, it's really meant to open up
librarianship as a possible career path

583
00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:05,920
for young people, specifically geared to
high school and college students. And it

584
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:10,880
gives them a place where they can have
real world hands-on experience with that

585
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:15,520
kind of stuff. It's also
next to help during one of our busiest

586
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:21,680
times of the year which is reading
program. So the internship will last

587
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:28,079
from June 1st to July 31st but
applications and flyers have been shared

588
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:31,760
with local high schools the college
online various places and there's

589
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:36,079
applications that are available here at
the library or on our website. So, if

590
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:42,520
you have any questions about that or
know someone who might send my very

591
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,520
happy about it,

592
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:51,119
a fun update on the library's AC
situation. So, when I last spoke to the

593
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:56,000
council, I said that I would look into
quotes options for what that cost would

594
00:53:54,240 --> 00:54:01,920
be and where we might be able to have it
done. And I got three quotes back from

595
00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:08,480
MPC being cooling
mechanical and

596
00:54:05,119 --> 00:54:13,280
homes home heating cooling. So I got
those three quotes back. They ranged

597
00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:18,480
from 5900 to 48.50
And I presented that to our friends

598
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:23,680
group actually and they agreed to pay
the full cost of the replacement of the

599
00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:29,440
equipment and we collectively decided to
go with the home's home quote which was

600
00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:34,880
4850 not just because it was the lowest
quote but also it had twice the warranty

601
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:42,640
of either of the other quotes. So the
other two had a 5year parts warranty and

602
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:48,240
one year the other had a 10year parts
warranty

603
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:55,599
warranty. So um a great shout out
gratitude friends for assisting in such

604
00:54:51,599 --> 00:55:00,880
an important aspect of library operation
on to services development. Just to give

605
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:05,200
you guys an update on the new library
management system that we got and the

606
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:10,640
new They're awesome. They're working
wonderfully. They have really smooth

607
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:15,920
transition periods. Um, all the vendors
that we've been working with are

608
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:21,200
wonderful, very helpful. Um, and patrons
have been responding immediately

609
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:26,720
positively between quality of both
services and all the new features that

610
00:55:23,599 --> 00:55:30,960
they have to as well.
At this point in the fiscal year, we

611
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:38,520
actually have also earned enough print
proceeds to cover the remainder of for

612
00:55:33,359 --> 00:55:38,520
this year. So everything after this is

613
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:46,880
I do intend because there are so many
new features that just haven't been

614
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:51,680
available before. I do intend to create
video content YouTube videos that can be

615
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:56,079
linked to the library's website and our
Facebook and our YouTube channel of

616
00:55:53,200 --> 00:56:01,920
course that explain how to make take
advantage of these new features from

617
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:07,839
home your phones that sort of thing. So
more Plenty more to come on that later.

618
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:12,240
Regarding collection development,
there's been a lot of new exciting

619
00:56:10,559 --> 00:56:16,160
placement and arrangement projects
happening in the library. We're trying

620
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:20,240
to develop sections and better ways
people can find things. The recent most

621
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:26,079
section being developed is a dedicated
large print section.

622
00:56:23,119 --> 00:56:31,520
So between that
our new display style for our section

623
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:37,520
and then
revamp early reader engine reader

624
00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:43,040
chapter section as well.
And lastly for program development um so

625
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:46,960
the cultivate you was a program that I
was trying to introduce this year as a

626
00:56:45,359 --> 00:56:52,559
personal and professional development
series due to a lack of response from

627
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:57,280
possible presenters and attendees. I'm
gonna kind of put a stopper on that

628
00:56:54,960 --> 00:57:01,839
program as a regular program for now. I
still really am invested in the concept.

629
00:57:00,079 --> 00:57:05,520
So I'll be continuing to reach out to
possible presenters and just taking them

630
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:12,319
up when they're available rather than
having a set series. So that one is

631
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:17,520
continuing to adapt and evolve and
develop. The other history talk series

632
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:23,680
on the other hand is in its final stages
of preparation. So this is usually a

633
00:57:21,359 --> 00:57:29,440
global history oriented series that
takes place either sometimes spring

634
00:57:26,079 --> 00:57:34,000
usually and this spring is going to be a
late spring walking tour like the

635
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:41,520
architecture history of Crawford
especially downtown. So the tentative

636
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:45,599
date we set turns out May 17th at 2 p.m.
which is a Sunday and then if the

637
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:49,839
weather's not with us we plan for the
following Sunday at the same time. So

638
00:57:48,079 --> 00:57:54,880
we're very excited about that program.
That's one of the most

639
00:57:51,440 --> 00:58:01,359
requested and popular events. And
lastly, the summer reading program theme

640
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:08,040
this year will be unear a story with the
national theme as well. So that will

641
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:08,040
orient itself around

642
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:16,240
geoscience and that kind of stuff. So
dinosaurs, cool minerals and what a

643
00:58:13,839 --> 00:58:21,359
perfect theme for us here at this point
in the country.

644
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:26,720
Most of the programs I'm just making
final arrangements and touches. Uh but

645
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:33,280
I've streamlined it based on prior
experience to be really impactful and

646
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:38,240
potent while considering my anticipated
capacity by that time and the presence

647
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:43,640
of an intern for the duration of it. So
unless there are any questions for me

648
00:58:40,079 --> 00:58:43,640
that is my

649
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:49,680
» Thank you Ashley. Congratulations on
Thursday's announcement and thank you to

650
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:53,520
your friends. Thank you.

cemetery's new addition as prepared by

653
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:09,440
handhandle land surveying.
This is just something that we need to

654
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:13,119
accept as a final.
>> I guess

655
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:18,319

motion for that,

656
00:59:16,559 --> 00:59:24,319
right? Sure. I'm sorry.
>> So, are they going to be pulling flags

657
00:59:19,839 --> 00:59:31,079
out there? Are they done or
>> heard they still had a few more rebar to

658
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,079
put into the ground?

659
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:43,599
» They said they come back and do those
few that were left, but other than that,

660
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:48,480
I understood they were pretty much done.
>> Okay. Well, if they're done, we're

11, so we will move down to 12 and under

new business. Discuss, approve,

724
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:55,280
Second Street, which is also commonly
known as the Arcade Building. A

725
01:04:51,680 --> 01:05:03,480
presentation by Patricia Province.
I make a motion we approve the bill

726
01:04:58,559 --> 01:05:03,480
consolidation for the church provincial.

727
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:35,200
So, um, this is just kind of a, um, a
letter and I'm going to read part of it

728
01:05:33,359 --> 01:05:39,520
because I'm not a great public speaker,
but anyway. So, yes, my husband and I

729
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:46,559
own, um, what is known as the arcade
building at, um, lots of 412, 420, 424,

730
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:51,520
428 on Second Street.
since 2023.

731
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:59,520
Um it's being been built um under one
building um as a um we would like to

732
01:05:55,359 --> 01:06:06,079
resume that um it's been yes since the
fall of 2023. So the arcade building

733
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:11,200
encompasses 412 420 424 428 and is
currently under active redevelopment as

734
01:06:08,559 --> 01:06:16,960
a single integrated commercial property.
Since October 2023, the city has

735
01:06:14,079 --> 01:06:22,240
accommodated us consolidating building
under one account during this renovation

736
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:27,920
period. We appreciate this cooperation.
At present, the building is has one

737
01:06:24,559 --> 01:06:33,200
active um water connection. It has one
bathroom, one sink, and has very limited

738
01:06:30,799 --> 01:06:36,960
utility usage consistent with a
construction and rehabilitation phase.

739
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:41,839
The remaining spaces are not
independently occupied service or

740
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:47,839
capable of separate utility demand. Nor
do we anticipate

741
01:06:44,799 --> 01:06:52,480
renting them out in in in that capacity
book separately like it had been being

742
01:06:49,599 --> 01:06:56,960
done in the past. That's not our plan.
So for these reasons, we respectfully

743
01:06:55,119 --> 01:07:01,200
request that the city continue
consolidated utility billing under a

744
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:05,680
single account
reflecting the bu the building's

745
01:07:03,119 --> 01:07:11,119
concurrent use as one redevelopment
project or in the alternative classified

746
01:07:08,799 --> 01:07:16,640
the building addresses as inactive or
non-active service units during the

747
01:07:13,119 --> 01:07:21,200
renovation period with reduced or s or
suspended base charges. This is grounded

748
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:25,839
in the principle that the utility
building should reasonably correspond to

749
01:07:22,799 --> 01:07:30,240
actual service delivery and with
infrastructure use rather than

750
01:07:27,599 --> 01:07:35,760
historically addressing that which does
not reflect current conditions. The

751
01:07:32,559 --> 01:07:41,599
request is granted. We evaluate formal.
We're going to we're going to evaluate

752
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:49,359
and look into formal formal process of
basically consolidating the property

753
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:54,160
into one um one address. Um so it's a
long-term redevelopment plan which would

754
01:07:52,160 --> 01:08:00,319
further align the property with a single
service unit. So we thank I thank you.

755
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:04,960
We thank you for
looking into this and considering

756
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:07,599
» So you're That's the goal of the
property in the long term is to have one

757
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:13,520
address.
>> Yes. And it's not we've never intended

758
01:08:10,319 --> 01:08:19,759
it to be, you know, as it was like a vet
office, um, you know, commercial

759
01:08:17,279 --> 01:08:23,839
insurance, things like that. Our vision
is that it will be one, it would be

760
01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:30,000
center, it' be a place of rest and
restoration, however that healing

761
01:08:25,679 --> 01:08:35,040
center, whatever. Um, um, we have a lot
of ideas. Um,

762
01:08:33,440 --> 01:08:41,520
a lot of work. The building was
neglected for two years. Of course, um

763
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:48,319
you know, that's our issue. Um we have
um some re we have done reelectrical

764
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:52,239
work. We have um
that's mainly what we've done, but we

765
01:08:49,839 --> 01:08:57,679
have done a lot of demolition. Um the
property needs a lot of work, but we

766
01:08:54,719 --> 01:09:04,239
have a vision and we're hoping that the
city can continue to

767
01:09:00,480 --> 01:09:08,239
help us in that way. Keeping under one
one usage.

768
01:09:05,679 --> 01:09:12,239
» So the county says that is different.
>> Yeah. And and the starting process of

769
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:15,520
that would would be with the county. Is
there any reason why they could apply

770
01:09:14,159 --> 01:09:18,640
for that to be
>> the 911?

771
01:09:16,719 --> 01:09:21,839
» Right.
>> So is there

772
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:25,040
» is there any way they could just apply
for that now?

773
01:09:23,440 --> 01:09:28,880
» With the county and it's because once
it's approved by the county it's

774
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:35,199
recognized by the city.
>> Yeah. Because what I'm thinking we're

775
01:09:31,359 --> 01:09:43,000
going to run issues with forgiveness
with swan. Um

776
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:43,000
I have a meeting later this week,

777
01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:48,440
» right?
So once you get it rem

778
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:57,920
one one building which I'm good with it
makes kind of sense but you got to go

779
01:09:55,199 --> 01:10:05,440
through proper channels
I' I'd be willing to do a continuence on

780
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:07,679
on the agreement that we currently have
>> pending

781
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:19,280
two and a half years.
>> Right. Right. So, I'm I'm willing to do

01:10:18,159 --> 01:10:24,080
that
>> thinking that it gets, you know, it gets

783
01:10:21,199 --> 01:10:27,280
addressed within six months, a year. I
don't we we should we really need to set

784
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:31,360
down a set parameter on some of this
stuff. These are going to be issues.

785
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:36,000
» Well, right because we've already this
is not this is a redo of what we've

786
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:41,360
already set. We gave We gave two years
and then didn't even even I know take it

787
01:10:39,440 --> 01:10:49,960
away until two and a half. So
>> So we need we need to have this

788
01:10:45,679 --> 01:10:49,960
» but I guess

789
01:10:51,679 --> 01:10:56,239
I don't know
about that.

01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:03,239
She is also 911.

791
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,920
» She's called the office.

792
01:11:07,199 --> 01:11:10,840
» So she would

see. Come back.
a timeline.

796
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,360
» I don't know how long.

797
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:45,760
» Give us some time. We'll just continue.
>> Well,

798
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:51,159
» well, why would it be unreasonable to
say six months?

799
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:51,159
» Oh, to me, no.

800
01:11:53,199 --> 01:11:57,480
If there's a problem with six months,
you can

801
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:06,520
I'm good with it

802
01:12:06,719 --> 01:12:10,120
for six months

803
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,760
that

804
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:24,159
motion.
>> Yeah.

805
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:27,159
» Okay. Thank you.
Second.

806
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,920

All right. 14. Discuss, approve,

help us understand that, Terry?
So, it's

811
01:12:55,440 --> 01:13:01,120
time
a long time ago.

812
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:12,000
before we move to.
>> We had an insurance policy at some point

813
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:16,800
that bought shares.
We've been getting offers to buy those

814
01:13:14,480 --> 01:13:19,800
shares from that company and it's like
$6,000

815
01:13:20,480 --> 01:13:28,480
and it's
really something we should just my

816
01:13:26,239 --> 01:13:33,600
suggestion is that we just cash it in
and put it towards you know I mean it's

817
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:36,600
it's something that's been out there for
years.

818
01:13:37,679 --> 01:13:45,159
» So is it interesting is it Yeah, it's
drawing some interest.

819
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,760
» I think so.

820
01:13:51,679 --> 01:13:56,120
» I read it as Pokemon, but it's not

821
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:07,440
» there's not a ton of interest. Um, and
we don't have a lot of information on

822
01:14:04,159 --> 01:14:13,199
it. Um, we often will get, you know,
hey, you've earned $140 on it, that kind

823
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:16,719
of thing. And then and then we've gotten
this

824
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:21,640
» I think they're tired of dealing with
the paperwork of it, too. And of

825

would like with it, it's

831
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:13,040
We've, as you'll hear in the treasur
report, we've got the reallocation.

832
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:17,520
You could ultimately split it into the
funds that are, you know, and divy it up

833
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:20,679
that way. That could be one way we do it
with that

834

cash flow.

out thing that just shows up once a

take it, you guys should make that

837
01:15:40,480 --> 01:15:50,400
decision and decide if you want to just
keep hanging out there.

than they are, but I just I'd like to

853
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,679
have more information, I guess. So, I'm
okay with it if we can figure out where

854
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:25,199
we're going to put it. I don't I just
don't

taken to a

tonight and then sit down and figure out

what if there's stuff that you want to
sell, stuff that you want to dispose of,

Okay, perfect. That's

900
01:21:33,440 --> 01:21:42,880

>> So my question is I think the same

901
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:50,520
question that the mayor has
on the 60inch mowers.

902
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:50,520
I'm not sure Kevin

903
01:21:51,760 --> 01:22:04,800
that we want to surplus them just yet.
um for myriad reasons. One being um

904
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:11,679
you're using one of them for parts right
now. So, might have to use another parts

905
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:16,800
just to keep the third one going.
um

906
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:28,239
what we talked about yesterday that
those can be utilized for um um

907
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:36,880
» property well not but
>> yeah um so I I don't think that we

908
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:44,800
should surplus the mowers just yet
but um yeah I agree they Do weed

909
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:48,480
trimmers work? Kevin,
>> I'm sorry. What was the question?

910
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:52,440
» The weed trimmers not.
>> There's one that does not work.

911
01:22:52,719 --> 01:23:00,440
» There was like three of them.
>> Yeah, there's

912
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,440
brand new.

913
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:10,560
» Piece of equipment that were bought that
>> used. Wow.

914
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:14,639
» And then there's the 16inch chainsaw.
the steel handheld blower and then the

915
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:18,239
Honda trimmer.
>> So all that would be

916
01:23:16,719 --> 01:23:27,480
» I think I put on their functional or
nonunctional or maybe I didn't

917
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:27,480
» and the also um

918
01:23:32,719 --> 01:23:41,480
» I'm not sure that the dorm fridge
be utilized at city hall.

919
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:50,880
if we move them over
they would like one.

920
01:23:48,639 --> 01:23:54,960
» So these are all pieces of equipment or
items that I have no use for.

921
01:23:53,679 --> 01:23:58,920
» Sure.
It's up to whoever decides

922
01:24:22,159 --> 01:24:29,239
it. Don't surplus it.
Take it back.

923
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:29,239
» I have a truck that I don't want.

924
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:34,040
» I need a hedge trimmer in my office.

925
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:53,560
» Actually, it was probably

926
01:24:54,239 --> 01:25:03,000
How do we acquire a dentist chair?
>> It's one of those departments that got

927
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,000
cut over time.

928
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:13,320
» Well, I I'm okay with most of this other
than than the yard works. I would like

929
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:13,320
to address that a little bit.

930
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:21,440
» There's no push.
>> Yeah.

931
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:24,440
» I would like to
Sure.

932
01:25:33,440 --> 01:25:39,719
» So, we'll go ahead and take action.
>> Suggestions on how to sell it.

933
01:25:47,679 --> 01:25:55,760
» Okay, we'll take no action on item 15 at
least. Number 16, discuss approved,

934
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:59,159
disapproved annual renewal of HAC
service partnership.

935
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:16,880
Why not?
>> Can I ask what those abbreviations mean?

936
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:21,280
» Hawk is the company that provides the
equipment. And this equipment

937
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:26,000
continuously monitors the disinfectant
level in our water and also the

938
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:32,400
turbidity meaning the cloudiness or
particulate matter in the water. This

939
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:35,520
contract is not just a service
agreement. It's also an insurance

940
01:26:34,159 --> 01:26:39,920
policy.
If we were to be maintaining this

941
01:26:37,679 --> 01:26:44,159
equipment ourselves, we would still once
a year probably need to call a hawk

942
01:26:42,480 --> 01:26:51,440
technician to come out for about three
or $4,000 to do firmware updates that we

943
01:26:47,679 --> 01:26:58,159
don't have access to do. The reagents
and chemicals we need to do the

944
01:26:54,480 --> 01:27:02,800
calibrations run about $45,000
a year.

945
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:08,480
and the extra equipment we would need to
have on the shelf would probably hit us

946
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:14,480
for another $16,000 just to have in case
something breaks. Now, if something does

947
01:27:11,440 --> 01:27:19,040
go bad or breaks, our service contract
will cover the replacement of these

948
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:25,040
parts within 5 days.
And if the technician makes a mistake

949
01:27:22,639 --> 01:27:30,800
and messes up that equipment, that
equipment will be replaced for free that

950
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:37,679
day off of his truck instead of if we
happen to make a mistake that might hit

951
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:44,159
us for $10 to $20,000 worth of uh very
sensitive monitor.

952
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:50,719
» We have been over these guys shoulders
for two years. Um, we we are constantly

953
01:27:48,639 --> 01:27:55,520
learning and watching. We have a very
good handle on how the equipment works.

954
01:27:53,760 --> 01:28:00,400
It's just there there's too many
benefits to not going with these guys.

955
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:06,719
Um, I know that we've brought this
contract up a lot. We had a lot of

956
01:28:02,239 --> 01:28:11,360
different equipment that was bought in
stages and then they all had service

957
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:17,120
agreements that were in stages. This now
kind of smooshes it all together and

958
01:28:13,440 --> 01:28:22,159
it'll be every April and it'll give us
four visits on the four tubidity

959
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:28,480
monitors that we have. It'll give us two
visits on each of the controllers that

960
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:34,159
monitor or the three three controllers.
It'll be two visits a year for uh

961
01:28:31,199 --> 01:28:40,480
firmware updates and calibration.
And then our uh disinfectant monitor

962
01:28:37,679 --> 01:28:44,560
will be serviced twice a year. um to
include replacement of all the wear and

963
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:48,880
tear parts on the interior.
>> How long have you been using them

964
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:50,639
» of these machines? These uh machines we
have

965
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:54,239
» no this company
>> Oh, this company was in use before I

966
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:58,639
started working here.
>> We just entered into this contract one

967
01:28:56,480 --> 01:29:01,120
year ago. Has it not been budgeted in
year?

968
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:06,320
» It it is budgeted in for this year. Yes.
>> So what we're considering for the total

969
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:09,360
for this next year is $8,467.
>> That would be from this year.

970
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:12,239
» How would that compare to last year?
Right. How would that compare to this

971
01:29:10,719 --> 01:29:17,600
last year? Is there a lot of change
since we've since we've combined?

972
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:20,639
» It's just one contract contract. It's
actually come down a little bit because

973
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:24,400
everything's consolidated.
>> We're not sending guys out all the time.

974
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:27,920
» Appreciate it.
>> Absolutely.

975
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:31,600
» Any other questions?
>> I make a motion.

976
01:29:30,639 --> 01:29:34,800
I'll second.
>> Thank you. From Dean

977
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,520
from
>> Yes.

978
01:29:35,199 --> 01:29:43,320
» Dean.
Thank you. Number 17.

979
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:43,320
disapprove the treasures report.

980
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:51,600
» So
I just got to on the first page of the

981
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:56,960
treasur
we've always put in this this little

982
01:29:54,800 --> 01:30:06,120
diagram that shows how much in the
negative we were to water

983
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:06,120
the amount as high as $246,000.

984
01:30:06,239 --> 01:30:15,800
If you look at Marches, you can see
we've got everything allocated now and

985
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,800
we are at 54642

986
01:30:17,440 --> 01:30:24,639
after reallocating three years on the
insurance that and other things that

987
01:30:22,719 --> 01:30:29,120
were not
split out to the different departments.

988
01:30:26,480 --> 01:30:34,480
General was caring everything.
Now we actually it makes sense now. I

989
01:30:32,239 --> 01:30:40,000
mean we were struggling to try to
understand how just keeps going bad at

990
01:30:38,239 --> 01:30:44,159
the end. That was a big problem.
>> You'd be excited to have a negative

991
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:48,080
54,000. But good job.
>> Way to go.

992
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:54,440
» I know.
>> I know it's not zero, but it feels like

993
01:30:51,440 --> 01:30:54,440
zero.

994
01:30:54,800 --> 01:31:05,120
» Thank you for that that effort.
>> And Jane was a big part of helping us

995
01:31:00,159 --> 01:31:11,600
find all of that because we just kept
why and when we finally saw what had had

996
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:15,280
happened and was uncovering it then we
were able to fix it all and make

997
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:22,639
adjustments. Now there is something
which the um adjusting journal entries

998
01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:27,520
that we've been doing with the auditor.
We still got a couple that we're still

999
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:31,520
trying to get on the second page. I
pointed this out before that there's a

1000
01:31:29,440 --> 01:31:36,159
couple differences there that kind of
midweight on the page. And when that

1001
01:31:34,239 --> 01:31:41,280
shows on your report, it says there's
something wrong. The bank totals don't

1002
01:31:38,480 --> 01:31:46,639
equal to your general ledger totals. We
were at 68

1003
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:51,679
4014
wherever. And as we've been fixing the

1004
01:31:49,679 --> 01:31:56,639
journal to entries, we're almost got
that fixed and cleaned up so that it'll

1005
01:31:53,679 --> 01:32:01,239
be a clean slate. Matching numbers with
the auditor, matching numbers over

1006
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:06,199
it's definitely a lot of progress.

1007
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:10,360
» Congratulations.

1008
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:19,520
» What a difference.
>> It don't mean we got flesh money, but it

1009
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:24,040
means Real numbers. Real numbers means
we can make do with the money we have.

1010
01:32:25,199 --> 01:32:30,320
» Well, thank you. That's that's that's
taken a lot of hard work. We appreciate

1011
01:32:28,639 --> 01:32:34,239
all that you guys have put through and
investigative

1012
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:39,560
» time that it takes to track that all
down and to redistribute another.

1013
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:47,600
Well, as long as those auditors don't
steal you guys away.

1014
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:51,120
That's not going to happen. I have a
motion to approve the treasures report.

1015
01:32:49,679 --> 01:32:53,520
» I'll make a motion to approve the
treasures.

1016
01:32:52,159 --> 01:32:58,719
» Have a second.
>> Second roll call.

1017
01:32:56,080 --> 01:33:02,320
» Yes.
>> Motion to approve. Sorry. Move to 18.

1018
01:33:00,639 --> 01:33:05,920
Approve bills and claims requisition
orders and transfers. Do I have a

1019
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:10,560
motion?
>> Motion.

1020
01:33:07,199 --> 01:33:14,000
» I have a second.
Roll call. Ron.

1021
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:20,120
» Yes.
>> Motion for

1022
01:33:16,639 --> 01:33:20,120
» Dean second

1023
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,000
for

1024
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:35,560
» Thank you so much.
>> Yes.

1025
01:33:39,679 --> 01:33:42,920
We're just

1026
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:53,080
okay.
