Hello city council members. I'm 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,280 here today on behalf of Thrive Ellen County, which has partnered with 19 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,080 economic development and Iowa industries through a grant to highlight some 20 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,079 exciting additions we're bringing to the Iowa's farmers market. The farmers 21 00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:36,240 market is already a wonderful community event with fantastic vendors, locally 22 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,680 grown produce, and a loyal community support base. These new activities are 23 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,200 intended to build on that strong foundation, attract even more visitors, 24 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:48,079 and create additional opportunities for our vendors and local businesses. As you 25 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,680 may have seen last Thursday, inflatables filled the lawn of on the west side of 26 00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:57,280 the square along with two delicious food trucks. This week, Los Titos, a Mexican 27 00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:01,439 food truck, and 323, a baked goods truck, will be joining us. The grant 28 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,000 will cover up to $10 towards an order for each of the first 25 customers who 29 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,440 attend both food trucks. We also partnered with a new business, Mabel 30 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,840 Creative, to provide free arts and crafts at each farmers market throughout 31 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:18,239 August. This week only, we'll also have a free watermelon feed featuring locally 32 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,680 locally grown watermelons. In coming weeks, visitors can look forward to more 33 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,760 food trucks, a balloon artist, an entertainer, a car show, and a pie 34 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:30,000 eating contest with a grand prize of $500 in chamber bucks. Last week's 35 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,840 turnout was amazing thanks to these efforts and the Iola Public Library 36 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,200 summer reading wrap-up event, which was held next to the farmers market. We hope 37 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,400 to build on the momentum and continue increasing attendance throughout the 38 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,800 rest of the season. Please stop by and join us. uh for the remaining farmers 39 00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:48,319 markets and thank you for continuing to invest in economic development, our 40 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,120 local businesses in the Iowa farmers market. Is there any comments or 41 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,160 questions? >> Nope. It was a good turnout it looked 42 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,519 like this past weekend. So, >> really exciting last week. 43 00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:02,000 » So, yeah, looking forward to this next week. Thank you. Appreciate the update. 44 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,959 Thank you. >> All right, moving on. Consent agenda. 45 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:14,080 Any questions, comments, concerns? Motion to approve the consent agenda. 46 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:21,640 » I'll second motion to approve consent agenda and seconded. All in favor? I. 47 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,640 » I opposed. Motion carries. 48 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,280 All right. Pickle ball court. 49 00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,680 Um I guess is anybody got any certain 50 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:45,360 questions? I know we I went and got an uh updated formal quote from one of the 51 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:52,400 contractors that was in question um Field Ops Company of Kansas. 52 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,599 Um I did notice here that he has the incorrect date on it, but I assure you I 53 00:03:54,239 --> 00:04:00,680 received this the other day. This is the updated formal quote from Mr. Vaner. 54 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:09,599 Well, instead of 22 cheaper, he's now >> Yeah, his he had told me when I called 55 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:14,879 him and told him uh what I needed um and just talked to him a little bit that uh 56 00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:22,560 material had went up of course in price and um I mean he may have also upped his 57 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,280 uh labor cost as well. Um I'm sure you know if he's a small business owner from 58 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,639 one year the next if he's providing benefits to somebody his cost went up in 59 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:35,360 some sort sort of way. Um, but this is his updated price. Um, and then of 60 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:41,440 course I have the other two former quotes from the other two companies. 61 00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:47,520 Um, I would like to add, um, when I did speak with, uh, Troy 62 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,120 Vaner, the owner of Field Ops Company, he did tell me cuz I just wanted to 63 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:56,800 know, you know, so I could be utmost with you all that, uh, him being able to 64 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:02,240 get to this job this year is in question because of how busy he is currently. Um 65 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:07,440 he said honestly it's up in the air because a lot of his work still to this 66 00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:11,600 is all obviously weather based so if it gets cold enough outside he can't do the 67 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,320 job the the material won't adhere to the concrete properly. Um so he said with 68 00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,320 his current ongoing jobs that if everything still goes as scheduled with 69 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:26,160 what he already has scheduled for other jobs it would be in question if he could 70 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:30,800 get to us this year. Um, I did speak with the other one I know that was the 71 00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:35,280 clo next closest bid that uh had some interest, McConnell Associates, and they 72 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:41,360 said he had told me that he could get us on the books this year. Um, it would be 73 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:47,360 possibly later September roughly right now andor into early October. And he did 74 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:52,479 say if at all something had happened with their schedule and the weather did 75 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,120 turn for a snap, he would not even try to administer their product uh with 76 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,199 anything with concern of curing and he would honor this price into next year 77 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,240 and they would have to, you know, move the job into next year. 78 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:08,560 » Is dangerous? >> I wouldn't consider it dangerous than it 79 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,479 is right now. >> Facts or I mean is it bad? I I haven't 80 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:16,960 looked that way. >> It needs to be addressed. It's not 81 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,400 » It >> It's routine maintenance, honestly, is 82 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:28,440 what it needs right now. >> If would be um they sounds to me like 83 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,440 they're not. 84 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 So, 85 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:42,000 » um he did not clarify that. I would have 86 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:49,759 » he McConnell did say they would honor it into 27, but Troy did not uh clarify if 87 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:54,759 he would honor it into 27 or not. >> Estimate the last couple months. 88 00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:02,919 » Anybody else have any other further questions regarding these? 89 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:10,240 I know there was some hesitation with field ops because it was indicated they 90 00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:14,240 were newer business. Um, you know, that's the dangerous thing 91 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:21,120 with an aged uh estimate is the price did go up for 92 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:25,919 him. You're closer now with McConnell's cost. So, council 93 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,800 » and remind me has McConnell and Associates done for the city? 94 00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:32,400 » Not to my knowledge. They did minutes years ago. Joel. 95 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560 » Okay. >> Okay. They've done some 96 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,599 » before me college. >> Yeah. They've done some work at the 97 00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:41,919 college in the parking lot and stuff >> because I know that that's what you 98 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:45,599 you're referring and so there's got to be reason for 99 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:49,120 » longer company history. The couple people that I've have spoke with said 100 00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:52,319 that they never heard of anything bad as far as their work related to them. I 101 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,639 know they did the job at Shen High School um for their tennis courts. I 102 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:02,479 guess I'm sure they use them for tennis, not pickle ball. Um that's just why I 103 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,479 was leaning in that direction. 104 00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:15,280 like Mac was going to do more square foot 105 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:22,479 square yardage or >> it it should not have been. I gave every 106 00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:26,000 one of them the exact dimensions and um two of the companies did meet on site. 107 00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:32,640 The only one that did not meet on site was field ops, but I gave him oh dozen 108 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,760 photos, uh, video, exact square footage up close of the cracks. I mean, I I 109 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:41,039 talked to him on the phone several occasions. Um, he's got an aerial Google 110 00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:47,760 Earth view. Um, he said he'd done a couple of other jobs, uh, maybe four or 111 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:51,839 five similar to like our job aspect. Um, but yeah, they should all their their 112 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:56,680 quotes should be prepared by the exact square footage for the same job. 113 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:21,279 It's hard for me to disagree with Robbie on his recommendation just because of 114 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:26,399 the extensive proposal that Matt McConnell and Associates has done that 115 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:31,839 even in consideration. Fields is a smaller company and they're trying to 116 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:34,640 build brand new >> got to start somewhere. I mean, I feel 117 00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:40,000 like But >> do we want them to start with us? 118 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:45,120 » I'm okay with it. >> Well, it looked like when I reviewed it 119 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:50,560 last year that it's a franchise company that they've got 95 sites all over the 120 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,839 US. So, part of the question was, you know, what kind of reference do they 121 00:09:51,760 --> 00:10:01,519 have? And is is their product the same? We don't know that though, do we? 122 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:06,600 » You know, refresh my memory. I'm sorry. What kind of guarantee warranty 123 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:13,360 cannot >> none of them none of them guaranteed 124 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:17,440 anything about the the cracks will reappear at some point they said that 125 00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:20,320 this that's nature that's construction >> about the coating or the paint or 126 00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:24,720 whatever how >> adhesion 127 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,959 » how long would it last >> I believe McConnell in here I think he 128 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:34,959 had put in here that he was going to give it a one year. Um, 129 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:38,880 » typically it's usually you get a year >> one full calendar year to see get 130 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:44,240 through all the seasons. >> And and that's I'm sure whenever I spoke 131 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,360 with Preston McConnell that he's just, you know, as many times they've done 132 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:53,839 jobs like this, hundreds and hundreds of jobs. He doesn't foresee the the product 133 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:58,560 completely just failing. And he did say that I mean besides his one-year 134 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,440 warranty um you know if such a thing was to happen he would come and make it 135 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,880 right. >> And what did 136 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:10,959 » he I think he was about the same. I don't know if he has it in writing there 137 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:15,959 for the warranty but he did not describe any type of 10-year warranty or anything 138 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,959 like that. 139 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:25,720 » Think anybody's going to give you 10 years? Well, no, I don't expect that at 140 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,720 all. And I don't expect or you know, 141 00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:32,640 » are you still on the surface that long curve put down? 142 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:37,040 » Yeah. What's left of it on the west half? A lot of it has been completely 143 00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:40,959 worn off and or the winds blown it off after it was loosened or the rain had 144 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:45,120 taken it off. The west half is used more from the tree shade trees in the evening 145 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,440 when people are out there playing. So, we're just about down to bare concrete 146 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:51,680 in in a good portion of it. >> Was that about eight years ago? Nine 147 00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:54,320 years ago, >> probably you think 148 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,320 » probably 10 or better. >> Okay. 149 00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:02,160 » I don't remember. >> 2015. 150 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,720 » 15. >> 15. 151 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,000 » Doug, do you remember? >> Didn't the high school Didn't the school 152 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,519 district just resurface their tennis courts here not long ago? 153 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,079 » I'm trying to think of who did that. >> That was Yates Center. 154 00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:19,120 » Oh, okay. Yeah. the much higher quote. >> I couldn't remember. I thought they had 155 00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:22,279 them resurfaced. I couldn't remember who did it. 156 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,519 » I'll make a motion 157 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000 $46,700. 158 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:46,959 » Motion builds. Do we have a second? >> Second. 159 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:53,040 » We have a second. All in favor I opposed 160 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:59,320 to although yes. >> So what do we have? 161 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,320 » Let me see. Let me see the yeses. 162 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:11,120 Five yeses. And Mark, Joel, and Jeremiah, you're no. 163 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:15,440 » Okay. Motion carries. 164 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:20,839 filled up. Thank you guys. >> Thank you, Robbie. Appreciate your time. 165 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,839 Thanks for bringing it back. 166 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:29,680 » All right. Special use permit 220 South Kentucky. 167 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:34,160 » Angela, are you going to or Greg, you going to talk first? 168 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:39,040 » Uh, I think so. Good evening. The planning commission met uh held a 169 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:44,160 hearing on July 21st to review an application from Angela Johnson and the 170 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:51,200 Shepherd's Post. They're requesting a special use permit for 220 South 171 00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:56,800 Kentucky. The organization is uh wants to use the location as a faith-based 172 00:13:53,279 --> 00:14:05,360 home to support help and support men. The address is in the R2 zone which is 173 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:12,320 two family residential according to our um use table.

There were no calls to my office 180 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:49,040 concerning this. There was nobody that showed up to the hearing at the planning 181 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:53,920 commission in objection to it. Everybody that attended the planning commission 182 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:58,480 hearing was in favor of it.

Um, 268 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:47,840 » and this is just men only, no families. >> No, no families are allowed to live 269 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:52,320 there. Saturday gettogethers for families like from 8:00 to 5:00, that 270 00:21:50,159 --> 00:21:56,400 sort of thing. But no woman is allowed to spend the night in the home.

Um so um and some will ride bicycles, 279 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:31,120 some will walk. It depends. >> Angela, will this be an extension of the 280 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:37,200 pregnancy resource or it's not going to be a separate 501? And 281 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:42,880 » um on that note, I'll just say um been around what 20 plus years, 282 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:47,840 pregnancy resource, and a lot of success stories.

So 302 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:17,919 we have to wait for the engineer to come in to go through everything and check 303 00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:21,520 things out to see if we can keep the church because we'd like to have church 304 00:24:19,679 --> 00:24:26,880 for the anybody on that side of town or anywhere but a church that in use on 305 00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:34,520 that side of town.

Sorry, 314 00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:22,000 » the guys coming out of jail often don't have a safe place to go to. So they will 315 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:25,679 be among the clientele uh potentially. And uh we're saying that it's not a 316 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:30,000 sober house, it's not a homeless shelter, but both of those may be 317 00:25:27,919 --> 00:25:32,799 included if if that's what the needs are.

That's that's illegal. 406 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:25,919 » Those plans don't make it more aesthetically beautiful. 407 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:30,080 » There's nothing in that building that's aesthetically beautiful. Uh yeah, the 408 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:34,320 case was open. We're we are following by the book. Okay, thank you. 409 00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:39,679 » Anything else? >> Nope.

And uh also excited about the park opening on uh Wednesday. Um 415 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:12,640 really hoping that the people of Iola appreciate it and the hard work that 416 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:18,159 they've done out there and that we can do our best to keep it nice and take 417 00:33:15,919 --> 00:33:23,840 care of it. Uh we've been out several times and done some 418 00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:27,440 trash cleanup just around the area. I'm hoping really hoping cuz it's it's 419 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:31,799 beautiful when it'll be all said and done. So that'll be Wednesday. 420 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:58,399 other than that. I guess they're waiting on our 421 00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,799 » Yeah, it hadn't been delivered yet. So, >> I haven't seen it up yet. 422 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,640 » No, >> Dana was going to check on that last 423 00:34:02,399 --> 00:34:07,640 week. be on the second and third Saturday. 424 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,720 This is in the two papers and 425 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:24,480 I think summer's here. >> Check on your pets and your single 426 00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:30,800 living your single friends or family members, elderly.

And I'm excited for Friday night lights. I think it'll 429 00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:45,919 be beautiful out there. >> And that's all I have. 430 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:51,520 » Agree. And on the Lehi State Park, you're all council invited to the open 431 00:34:48,399 --> 00:34:57,200 house, which is at 1 to 2 on Wednesday. The general public, it'll open 2 to 3. 432 00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,200 So one to two council, if you want. inside. 433 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:06,680 » That's a critical question. >> The park is inside. 434 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,680 » No, I need that. 435 00:35:07,839 --> 00:35:15,599 » Go on the water and bring your seat. >> I'll bring it. 436 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:19,680 » Do we Do we know when citywide cleanup's going to be yet? 437 00:35:18,079 --> 00:35:22,079 » We can ask tomorrow, Stephen, and get it set. Usually, it's that what second week 438 00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:24,240 in October. >> It's on my list to talk about tomorrow. 439 00:35:23,839 --> 00:35:29,280 Yeah, >> last year we had it the last week of 440 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:33,920 September and two years ago uh we had it the second week of October. So 441 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,920 » we leave it up I leave it up to Jason. It's his department does all the work. 442 00:35:35,599 --> 00:35:39,280 So >> just want to make sure everyone has 443 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:46,240 enough notice to start getting stuff together. Um, don't know if you've all 444 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:54,240 heard or not, but uh, Camille has purchased some radio spot ads um, 445 00:35:50,800 --> 00:36:00,160 through the Eco DVO program for downtown businesses. I actually heard some of the 446 00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:05,760 spot ads and it's pretty positive and hopefully it's uh, helping to make a 447 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:12,960 difference. Um, want to shout out to Salina and the loss they suffered with a 448 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:20,079 mowing accident that flipped upside down in the river. Um, the operator succumbed 449 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:25,359 to his injuries. And I think it's a good reminder on um John, you probably 450 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:30,880 remember when the city first talked about the uh mowers that could go on the 451 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:36,240 inclines down here and the whole idea of spending the extra money on that type of 452 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:42,800 mower was for safety. So keep in mind that when we look at budgets and what we 453 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:47,280 spend if they bring up safety issues, uh look at what happened in Salina and 454 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:56,560 it's unfortunate. So prayers and condolences to uh all in Salina. Uh the 455 00:36:51,839 --> 00:37:03,200 only other thing I have is um council has asked uh 456 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:09,200 information from past uh meetings that gets tabled or put on the back burner. 457 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:16,480 And if you take one and hand it around, some things have kind of fallen to the 458 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:23,280 wayside. So, if we can keep an ongoing revolving 459 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:27,599 um pending future agenda items on the um agenda. 460 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:33,599 That's uh some of the information that was brought to my attention. Some of its 461 00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:39,119 old business to bring back. Um some of it possibly new information. Um council 462 00:37:37,359 --> 00:37:45,359 looked that over real quick. if there's anything that anyone missed that we've 463 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:51,200 talked about and it didn't come back. Um, it's a way to kind of keep track of 464 00:37:49,119 --> 00:37:55,720 everything that we've brought up in the past and haven't dealt with completely. 465 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,520 » I feel like we deal 466 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:06,720 » there's been a request to bring it back. >> Um, great. 467 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:11,040 » I'll move on with anything for us, Chase. No, not tonight. 468 00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:14,960 » Not tonight. Cory, >> uh, chip seal is getting closer to being 469 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:18,320 done. I think Jason's got about three or four days left. We had some issues with 470 00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:23,920 street sweeper, so they kind of backed off on doing any more sealing until we 471 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:26,560 got it up. They're catching up this next couple days and then they'll get back 472 00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:31,520 on. Hopefully by the end of the week, we'll be done with chip seal, at least 473 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:35,760 with the seal part. Uh, highway projects moving along pretty well as you guys can 474 00:38:33,359 --> 00:38:39,520 see. Um, I mean, we're still probably I'm guessing with the rain, we we're 475 00:38:37,839 --> 00:38:44,320 probably a couple weeks behind where we our target date. Um, contractor still 476 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:50,000 seems comfortable that we'll be done with that first phase in October. 477 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:53,359 I'm holding out. Uh, we'll see. I think we'll be substantially I don't know that 478 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,079 it'll be completely completely that phase done, but we'll we'll be 479 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:59,760 substantially complete. >> Have a plan B for Have we started to get 480 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,640 a plan B for >> uh I've actually I had a phone call 481 00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:08,880 today with them. Uh they've got some some things in the works. Uh I I really 482 00:39:07,359 --> 00:39:12,480 don't think the parade will be affected at all. We'll have the main line unless 483 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:16,720 something drastically drastically happens with rain. We'll have the main 484 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:20,800 line done. Maybe some sidewalks, some handicap ramps on the south side of the 485 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:26,400 road might not be done, but I don't think that will hamper farm city days at 486 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:32,400 all as far as the parade and the that goes. So, um yeah. and the contractor 487 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,520 every meeting I have every week. Hey, I I still think we're going to be there. 488 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:39,920 We're going to be there. So, we'll see how that plays out. But, um they're 489 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:44,560 making some headway now. It It's hard to see progress until you really see that 490 00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:49,599 thing coming together. Uh to this week, they're pouring uh a lot of the 491 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:54,640 finishing the radius or the curb or not the curbs, the uh approaches on the side 492 00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:59,200 streets. Uh tomorrow I think they're going to pour the off streetet or the 493 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:04,079 parallel parking like by Audacious and Community National down by Bob's office. 494 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:08,240 They'll be pouring those pieces. Uh and I think by the end of the week, if 495 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:13,200 they're not doing it, then first of next week, there'll be you'll see some cu 496 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:19,040 curb being formed up ready to be poured. Uh middle of the week, we should see uh 497 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:22,320 grading back in here for sidewalks. So things are coming around. Uh 498 00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:26,000 » people have asked me why they don't work seven days a week. What 499 00:40:24,079 --> 00:40:32,320 » they don't have to >> they it's a calendar completion project. 500 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:36,480 Uh and until they get down to the end, they won't. I can tell you that. Uh and 501 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:40,640 and a lot of times when you see them not there on Fridays, they've worked 502 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,839 themselves into that corner. I guess they poured up as much as they can. They 503 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:49,280 can't pull the forms. They got cure time. Um, so a lot of that's just how 504 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:52,240 they've worked them worked in three days and they've got to back off for a day or 505 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:58,880 two before they can pour another section. Uh, but yeah, I 506 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:03,680 I don't and Kat's kind of unique in the fact that they've got to request to work 507 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:09,280 weekends or holidays. So, uh, Monday through Friday is normal. You know, a 508 00:41:06,319 --> 00:41:12,160 Saturday here or there. I could see >> Well, if you want another answer, it's 509 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,040 money. Yeah, >> if they want to do something like that, 510 00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:19,359 then we would have to fork over a whole lot more than we already. 511 00:41:16,319 --> 00:41:23,200 » Yeah, I think by by like midday Friday to on Saturdays is usually overtime. So, 512 00:41:21,839 --> 00:41:26,240 you're getting the people paying a lot more for their overtime. They 513 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:31,680 » I mean, for example, the concrete crews are in here uh I'd say around 6:00 to 514 00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:35,839 6:30 every morning. When they're here pouring and and forming, they're here 515 00:41:33,359 --> 00:41:39,440 around 6:00 to 6:30 and they don't leave until about 4:30 in the afternoon. So 516 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,800 they're they're getting it they're getting that 10-hour day in. 517 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:47,920 » And it appears that they're using the weekends for the engineer and surveyors. 518 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,240 And it looks like there there's been guys down there on the weekend. 519 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,520 » A lot of >> pinninging and flagging and 520 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:56,240 » a lot of that is borderline guys down on the other end. I know they got Kentucky 521 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,880 Street intersection. >> I'm talking about on the concrete 522 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,920 downtown. If you drive through during the weekend, 523 00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:05,599 » they're they're parked on the concrete and they're marking and they're 524 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,839 surveying. I've seen them with their transom out there. 525 00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:10,319 » It's great. >> So, they are doing some things on the 526 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,000 weekend. >> Yeah, they're I I think they're moving 527 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:18,160 along. Uh I think it's still we're probably a couple weeks from switching. 528 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:21,359 If weather goes well over the next two weeks, I think we'll be switching to the 529 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:24,800 other side. Some of the lighting may not be done on the north side. That can be 530 00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:32,040 done. I think they'll pour the bases. They just probably won't set poles u and 531 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:32,040 flip over to the other side. So, 532 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:48,599 Motion to adjurnn. Second to adjurnn in a second. All in favor? I. Opposed. 533 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,599 Motion carries.
