1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,040
Yeah.

2
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:34,599
It's just a sample just to see what was
on the agenda.

3
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,599
I'm just doing a sample one tonight.

4
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:45,239
Coming in.
Yeah. I'm going to open the

5
00:00:48,810 --> 00:00:51,869
[Music]

6
00:00:52,559 --> 00:01:02,160
flag of the United States of America and
to the republic for which it stands. One

7
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:06,680
nation under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.

8
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:18,479
Does anybody have anything they need to
add to the agenda?

9
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:23,520
If not, I need a motion to make a motion
to accept the agenda as read. Motion by

10
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:28,799
Sher Linda, second.
Second by Cynthia. All in favor?

11
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:34,000
Um, I need a motion to approve the
minutes of the regular meeting May 14th.

12
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,560
I make a motion that we approve the
minutes as needed as printed on May

13
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:44,860
14th. Motion by Sharon. Do I have a
second? Second by Angela. All in favor?

14
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:47,920
I
[Music]

15
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:52,960
chair.
Citizens call.

16
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,119
Do I have any citizens call for
business?

17
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,280
call for business or to where we can
just speak up speak out. This is when

18
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,799
you do. All right. I got a few things
I'd like to kind of bring up and ask

19
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:12,000
about. Uh I know Danny resigned from his
spot. Kind of curious what was going on

20
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:18,720
with his. I know Kendrick put a letter
of intent. I have a couple letters.

21
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:25,040
Did we ever publish that or open it up
to the public or anything or We don't

22
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:30,080
need to do that. We just um if there's
vacancy and you're interested, you just

23
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:38,720
send a letter of intent. Isn't Is there
not a uh time frame that is supposed to

24
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:44,440
be filled or No, right. No time frame.
Yeah. Fred, you might dumb.

25
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,440
So

26
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:58,720
it's a mayor mayoral appointment
um subject to consent by the council

27
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:05,840
and the council once the appointment is
offered or it's nomination I guess the

28
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:10,800
council can only reject that if they
pass a resolution that finds that

29
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:15,360
someone simply does not meet the minimum
imum requirements of the position.

30
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Um, it's not unusual for one to stay
open for a while. It really is. I've

31
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,000
been doing this a long time and it's uh
it's not unusual especially given that

32
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,360
this happened what the end of the year I
think. Yeah. Yeah. With uh the weather

33
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:36,799
and winter and everything else, but I
noticed it's only attempted. So, but

34
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:40,159
there is no time frame involved. No. And
I just had a couple letters of it in the

35
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:43,840
last few months. And as far as
publishing it, I mean, it's been

36
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:48,080
announced. Yeah. And I do think there
was something posted.

37
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:55,480
It would have either in the minutes or I
I mean, I'm just that he resigned. Yeah.

38
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,480
Yeah.

39
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:04,080
So, who who appoints him? Is it the
council or is it left up to the mayor?

40
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:10,400
It is one of the it is one of the powers
of a mayor to

41
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:15,439
to appoint someone subject to the
consent of the council. But that consent

42
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:22,479
can only be withheld if they pass a
resolution that specifically finds that

43
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:27,440
in their opinion the person does not it
I think the language is is not fit for

44
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:32,080
the office and that has been interpreted
meaning

45
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,919
let's use city clerk as an example
doesn't meet a residency requirement or

46
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:41,680
isn't bondable you know there's some
basic fundamental

47
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:47,600
requirement of that position that they
the council feels they don't fit or meet

48
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:53,520
um like if they weren't a citizen or
didn't res

49
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:59,919
and I'm very familiar with that because
that change in the law I live through um

50
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:04,800
we had a situation in Humble that was
pretty ugly that basically kind of

51
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:09,759
resulted in that law change or we were
part of other people that helped change

52
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:15,000
that law.
So, is there there a way that we can

53
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
change

54
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:23,039
how it's uh
or who makes the decision of who is

55
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:26,639
that's state law. That's state law.
Absolutely. State statute. I'm just

56
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:31,120
going to throw my opinion out here and I
know a lot of citizens here in Florida

57
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:35,280
feel the same way. Very important. Laart
feel the same way. There's a just like

58
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,520
in the White House, there's a lot of
buddy system and I'm going to take you

59
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:43,919
over you because you're my friend and
blah blah blah. But that's just my

60
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:49,600
opinion and others around here and they
really don't care for how the city's

61
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:54,160
being run in that sense. So the position
is filled only for the remainder of that

62
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:58,800
unexpired term and then they must stand
for election. It's not a full term. It's

63
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:02,800
just whatever is remaining of that term
and that's when you have a chance to

64
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:07,759
change that. Is that the election? Yeah.
Assume the terms just came up.

65
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:12,160
It's it's the way it is. I mean that's
that's what the law says. What I'm all

66
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:18,319
I'm saying is my opinion is like some of
the people in here is I'm going to use

67
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:23,919
Angela. We know it's a buddy system or
we we believe it's a buddy system of how

68
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:30,319
you got in versus others that we feel
are more confident or

69
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,319
Yes.
I mean that's my opinion and others of

70
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:40,240
the city. So I'm just throwing that out
on the ballot like everybody else does.

71
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:44,160
All right. I'm going to move on unless
somebody else got something to say on

72
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:49,080
that. Nope.
citizens that I spoke to in the town

73
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:56,960
feel that we need
more training with the fire department

74
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:01,199
with the things that have been going on
lately.

75
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:07,919
Uh people that were over at the other
the fire recently, they said it was a

76
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:13,680
mess. I spoken to some other volunteers
from other fire departments.

77
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:20,160
They said that they asked
multiple times. Do you want to call in

78
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:25,440
backup? We'll bring out tankers. Makes
told them no. We're waiting for the tank

79
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:29,759
for the tower to fill.
We are trying to take care of the people

80
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:35,599
here. I understand we want to try to do
it ourselves, but sometimes you got to

81
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:39,520
do what you got to do.
So, I don't I don't know what we're

82
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:43,759
doing for training anymore. I used to be
on it. I know what we used to do. Does

83
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:49,199
everybody have to be certified that's on
the fire department on the volatic? No,

84
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:54,400
nobody has to be certified. You got to
be okay by the chief. And does the chief

85
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:59,840
got to be certified? Does the chief need
to be certified? He He Yes, he is. He

86
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:05,919
doesn't have to be. It's a volunteer
system. To my understanding with other

87
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:12,879
volunteer fire departments, we have been
invited. Not we. The fire department has

88
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:18,400
been invited multiple times for free
training and no one from the heart

89
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:22,800
showed up.
To me, that's unjustifiable. Even if

90
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:28,479
just one person went, they could bring
it back and share that with the rest of

91
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:34,560
the department.
So I guess my next question is are what

92
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:38,560
are we doing to
for our training just blowing out

93
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:42,599
whistles or what are we doing for
training? Not doing that

94
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:50,320
and nobody can do it because they got
this.

95
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:56,560
Another problem is half of our fire
hydrants are buried in the ground. And

96
00:08:53,440 --> 00:09:02,160
if there's a fire, they have to go and
uny them like they did with Mr. Adair's

97
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:08,000
fire. They had to dig that fire hydrant
out in order to access it. That

98
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:11,519
shouldn't be right. Somebody needs to be
doing maintenance, doing maintenance on

99
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,680
them.
I don't think they dig that one out. No.

100
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:21,040
No, they didn't dig that out.
No. But no way.

101
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,560
Okay. Then where did all the dirt come
from that was piled up around the fire

102
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:29,120
hydrant? That was when they dug the hole
for the telephone pole.

103
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:35,360
Okay. Well, that's my my
misunderstanding then. I was told they

104
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:40,000
had to say we don't have any in ground.
Uh there's several that look really

105
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:45,120
questionable whether you can access them
or not. And couple of them are here on

106
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:50,000
Main Street. One of them's down by
Vicky's house.

107
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:55,120
You just might have them drive around
and look at them. Well, you have to go

108
00:09:52,320 --> 00:10:00,480
through and flush them. So, that's I
haven't seen the fire hydrant flushed in

109
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:08,680
the 10 years I've been. They were just
flushed in April. Yep. So,

110
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,680
every one of them? Yep.

111
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:19,600
Cuz we have to flush them.
The one on my corner never flush. They

112
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:23,360
flush my backside that question. Mm. Um,
cuz you weren't home. I think when the

113
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:30,320
fire department comes up, I've watched
them fight four fires in this town.

114
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:35,079
They drive up on scene. They don't do a
perimeter check. They don't look.

115
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:42,640
The fire down there's house. Fire was
shooting out of the back of the house.

116
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:48,000
They didn't even know it until somebody
came up to them and said, "The fire's in

117
00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:52,320
the back of the house and they're
sitting there with a water hose spraying

118
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:57,440
water on the front of the house
and

119
00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:00,720
it's doing absolutely no good." And then
they pow-wowed in the driveway for 10

120
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:05,440
minutes and then went running in the
back. Now, what kind of good does that

121
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:11,200
do?
I wasn't there, so I can't. And then and

122
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:16,640
then they drain our water tower. No,
they didn't drain it. We did not lose

123
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:21,120
pressure on our tower at all. Cuz if we
had them, you'd had a boil order. You

124
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:28,320
cannot lose pressure on the tower. How
many hours did we go on this fire? Oh

125
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:33,120
god. We didn't run out of water. No. And
I even called Larry Tony, who is our

126
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:38,560
supplier, and we had no pressure drop
whatsoever in our tower.

127
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:44,079
How many hours do we go on this fire? I
have no clue.

128
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:50,000
Too long.
I know. But it was it was too long from

129
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:54,480
the time till about 6:00 the next
morning and then they got called out

130
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:58,079
three other times from Yeah. Well, the
house was full of clothes. That was one

131
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,440
problem.
So, it's just like a hay bell smoking.

132
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,600
So, yes, water was put everywhere.
There's a lake around there. So, they

133
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:11,279
wouldn't lack water.
And it was full of stuff, you know,

134
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:17,440
not put anybody down, but it was full of
stuff. Took lots of water and ours is

135
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,800
smolders and smolders.
Didn't they have two uh layers of

136
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:26,519
shingle on there and then metal on top
of it? Hard to get the water through the

137
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,519
metal. Yeah.

138
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:34,480
How you put
through a tin roof? I wasn't there, so I

139
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:39,760
can't tell. I seen a video of it. I
wasn't there either. If we had had any

140
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:44,560
wind any win at all. Yeah. You lost when
we' have lost the whole South.

141
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:48,800
Harrison. No, you would have. Oh, yeah.
We would have had it here. You wasn't

142
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:53,519
there. You don't know the situation. How
long do we wait before we call in mutual

143
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:58,079
aid? How long do we let a house burn
before we call in mutual aid?

144
00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:01,120
We called in when we needed, but we
didn't need it. We was getting the water

145
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,560
was needed. It was just full of stuff.
Like I said, we had a bunch of

146
00:13:02,959 --> 00:13:09,680
bystanders which next time we'll be
escorted off. They're in the way and

147
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,959
we'll run our mouth. They don't know the
facts and I don't have to disclose that

148
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:17,680
with you. That's between me and the land
owner. So, I really can't be telling you

149
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,760
much.
Well, I'm I talked to some of the other

150
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:25,120
volunteers. Well, that's them. This is
us. We got our procedure. It sounds like

151
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,240
they've had a whole lot more training
than what this town has. So, they

152
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,839
probably know a little bit more than
what we do cuz we don't do our damn

153
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,279
training. Okay, we're done. We're done.
This is old fight when you're done. This

154
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:40,480
is not a personal.
This is not a personal The whole town is

155
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:44,560
trying. But it's not the point of this
particular item on the agenda. You've

156
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:49,680
made your point. This is not a time to
be discussing or arguing about it. When

157
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:54,720
is the time? Well, this is the time you
guys give us this. If you want to do it,

158
00:13:52,160 --> 00:14:01,760
then you need to you need to ask for a
point on the agenda where there is an an

159
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:06,320
actual issue for the council to decide.
We're looking out for the city. You

160
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:11,920
you've made your point. I'm assuming
it's been received that you would like

161
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,360
to have more training for the fire
department looked into. That's been

162
00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:22,480
That's what I got. That's been brought
up for years now. What has it gotten

163
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:28,959
done? We got two burnt houses down.
Multiple people knowing that we are not

164
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:32,320
capable of taking care of things and
you're telling me that we've come up

165
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:38,519
here as citizens and speak to the
council which is supposed to be working

166
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,519
for the citiz

167
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:47,519
what what we want to know what we're
going to do. you I think I mean you guys

168
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:52,000
have received his comments.
I assume you'll look into it. Yes. I

169
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:56,720
think you're wrong about training. I've
been Humbled City attorney for almost 40

170
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,399
years and I would say it's a really good
department, but I don't think they do a

171
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,399
lot of training like like you're talking
about. In fact, I almost know that.

172
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:09,279
Well, I've been on the fire department.
I know what we did on training. Then

173
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:13,120
I've talked to people that were on fire.
I'm not going to argue about that.

174
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:16,399
council was going to argue about Sean
Reynolds come over here and look at our

175
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:24,560
fire department. See what he thinks
about it. I that is Mark's decision. He

176
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:28,959
is our fire and you're our mayor. Craig,
most council meetings, the public

177
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:34,160
discussion, citizens discussion, they
usually get five minutes at a time. And

178
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:40,320
she's being nice enough to allow you. He
can have my five minutes.

179
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:44,560
is all these citizens are trying to say
something to you guys and you're pretty

180
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:50,000
much saying sit down and shut up. No, if
you have an issue, put it in writing.

181
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:54,000
Submit it. No, submit it in writing
because that's how you get stuff

182
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,720
discussed. This is just going around
like this and making arguments and never

183
00:15:55,759 --> 00:15:59,600
arguing about training. We're not
arguing about nothing. Yes, you are.

184
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:04,399
You're arguing with Mark. You're arguing
with me about how much I'm talking to

185
00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:09,279
you. I know. So if you put your concerns
on in writing, this is how you handle

186
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:14,880
something like this. Write down these
are our concerns. One, training. Two,

187
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:20,320
are the hydrants being flushed? Yes,
they are. Three, did we run out of water

188
00:16:17,199 --> 00:16:25,519
and lose pressure? No. But if you if you
consolidate it and and summarize it,

189
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:30,800
then you can address things in an
orderly fashion where things are

190
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,959
addressed and can be answered. But to
have a free-for-all discussion that

191
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:39,279
flows back and forth and becomes
circular with no end.

192
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:43,120
Like I said, to what point does this
discussion need to continue? You've made

193
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:47,680
your point. I assume the council will
follow up. Hopefully next month you'll

194
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:53,360
have a report back. Good. And that's the
way the procession work, but it ends. It

195
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:58,160
doesn't need to take 15 minutes to have
this discussion going round and round.

196
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:05,039
Well, it's it's a major concern with the
city with as citizens. Point made. Okay.

197
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:09,439
But this is not how you handle stuff in
a in a council meeting is what I'm

198
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:16,000
saying. You're not here every time. I'm
here almost every time. No,

199
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:21,919
I've never seen you have that. I have
been here almost every time. I have been

200
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:25,439
here almost every time.
Can I ask? And it's not even my job

201
00:17:23,679 --> 00:17:30,640
description to be here every time. Oh,
you got a job description? I do, as does

202
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:36,000
everybody in the in the city. You're an
attorney? Yeah. Good.

203
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:40,000
Can I ask one more thing? One more. I
know at when I was on the fire

204
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:45,039
department, I got kicked off at one
point there.

205
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:49,559
There was a firefighter that got sent to
the hospital. That's supposed to be

206
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:49,559
county.

207
00:17:49,679 --> 00:17:58,880
Are we back on the city with them?
I don't know what you're talking about,

208
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Mark Wagner Jr. back when you guys
kicked me off of it. We didn't kick you

209
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:11,120
off. That's not the council's job. That
is Mark Bark's department.

210
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:18,480
Okay. Was the Let's forget all that. Is
he city and county? Cuz last I knew he

211
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:22,799
was just county. Uh county.
Just county. Mutual aid was with the

212
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:28,160
ladder truck. So
that's rule rig.

213
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:32,360
Okay. Now we're done. Any other citizens
call for business? Jerry,

214
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:44,559
I just want to know what I can do to
take care of that piece of property.

215
00:18:41,679 --> 00:18:50,559
Can I stay in a camper as sleeping
quarters only

216
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:58,160
and park it on my property?
For how long? To clean up that mess.

217
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:02,480
Cuz normally we give a time limit. Yes.
So understood. I mean when when they

218
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:08,120
have granted the variance, they give a
time limit on it. So how long do you

219
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:08,120
need?

220
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:14,480
Well, no. What? What's really
reasonable? I got people that will help

221
00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:18,120
me. It'll probably be at least a couple
months, won't it, Jerry?

222
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:27,280
I'm sure if I do it myself. Yeah. If I
was a if my insurance comes through and

223
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:31,440
I can hire, say Ray Maloney to do it, he
can do it in a day. Well, I know when

224
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:36,320
our house burnt, our big twotory house
burnt, I had three months to get it tore

225
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,640
down. 90 days.
Okay. Should we go from there? It was a

226
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:46,160
big twotory house. Come back and get an
extension. Come back if needed. Yes.

227
00:19:43,919 --> 00:19:51,200
Yeah. And Fred will write up some for us
and we'll have you sign it. Okay. But

228
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:58,080
I'll need a motion
by the council for this. I'll make a

229
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:03,120
motion that we give Jerry 90 days to
live on the property and then to come

230
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:09,360
back if he not completed by then. Yeah,
that's a hardship. Okay. Water. I have a

231
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,919
motion. How How are utilities going to
be hooked up and are you on? All it's

232
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:18,480
going to have is electricity in it.
Okay. The house across the street also

233
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:24,559
belongs to me, my mother and
father-in-law, but he passed away. But

234
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:29,919
it's a small house and it it's just
easier if I sleep somewhere else. Yeah,

235
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:34,960
I could rent a house downtown somewhere,
but the travel time I could use to do

236
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:38,720
the cleanup if I'm right next door. So
basically you just need like an

237
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:44,320
electrical plug in and your gray water
and black water you'll just move it out.

238
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:49,919
I go in and shower and we eat there with
her. Oh, so you won't even have that.

239
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,280
So
this is a lot simpler than the other

240
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:58,559
ones that we're hooking in. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. No problem. Okay. So I have a

241
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:03,280
motion by Ron. Do I have a second?
Second by Cherylyn. Any more discussion?

242
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:08,080
All in favor?
Okay. and Fredo gets them wrote up and

243
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,320
Michelle will get a hold of you and
we'll get you in here and signed and but

244
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:17,840
you can go ahead and bring in. Okay.
Okay. Thank you. Mhm. Any other citizens

245
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:22,320
call? Yes. I have issue with the dogs
running in the park. Okay. And the same

246
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:25,520
old people, same old dogs
and the city don't want to do anything

247
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:30,000
about it.
And I called Penny. I've sent pictures.

248
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:34,880
I've called Michelle and you've called
me and you and I tried to get a hold of

249
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:40,320
Anua but she won't answer and I've
talked to Sheridan over the years. Same

250
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:44,240
old people, same old dogs.
Those pictures in that video has been

251
00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:47,360
sent to animal control, but it don't do
any good. You know that. Well, I don't

252
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,440
know yet.
I mean, you can imagine I'm like

253
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:56,400
invisible. And they run over there and
torment my dogs, which has never been

254
00:21:53,360 --> 00:22:00,720
loose, never even on leash, always in a
pin or in the backyard. And they come

255
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:05,280
over and then my dogs are buddy head to
toe because they're agitating my dogs.

256
00:22:03,919 --> 00:22:08,480
Okay? And they do it on the weekends
when they know they can get by with it.

257
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:14,159
And I holler and scream and they still
don't want to know. And Gary Bradley,

258
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:18,559
everybody knows Gary Bradley.
Okay. I've had Wagner's dogs down at my

259
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,400
house repeatedly over the years, which
they've never even had a dog ticket. And

260
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,880
I don't know how many times I've picked
up diesel.

261
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:32,320
But why do certain people get tickets
and certain people don't? Um, and

262
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:37,320
there's other
type of opinion about and she nobody can

263
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,320
answer me.

264
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:47,280
I mean, no,
but I will start shooting them or start

265
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:50,240
poisoning them. I'm not I'm not kidding.
When I have to pick up somebody else's

266
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:57,600
dog in my yard, it's already
happen. And I pick up my dog

267
00:22:53,919 --> 00:23:04,640
here. Thank you. Thank you. Any other
citizens call? I got problem. Yes,

268
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:10,880
Carrie. Um, with this new firework law
where fireworks can be sold year round,

269
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:16,320
there is some people that is shooting
fireworks off at night in my end of the

270
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:22,880
neighborhood.
Is that legal to be doing in within city

271
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:29,440
limits? No.
Fire department.

272
00:23:25,919 --> 00:23:33,360
I don't I I don't think that the county
has any restriction on shooting

273
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:37,919
fireworks any time of the year. I I
think that's right. Right. But but the

274
00:23:35,679 --> 00:23:42,600
ordinance here is Yes. It's only through
those dates that we approve

275
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:48,960
before. Right. So we got certain people
that will blow them off two weeks before

276
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:52,320
the court and get by with it because
they do it long enough for the law not

277
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:55,360
to get out here. And even if the law
came out here, they say, "Oh, no, no,

278
00:23:53,679 --> 00:24:01,679
put that up.
the same people that does it

279
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,960
and again we can't do nothing about it.
So it is against the law to be shooting

280
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:11,279
them off right now. It's against a city
ordinance. Yes. Within the city limits.

281
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:15,840
Yes. Thank you. Till what? 27th 27th to
the 5th. I think that's what it was. I

282
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,600
think that's what we did. And the county
won't take care of that. Yeah. Huh.

283
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:23,679
They'll just have them put them out.
Yeah. See the county won't handle it.

284
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:28,720
They're going to have to have a city.
We don't have a city call. All right. So

285
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:33,840
then it's just the way we do it. It's a
free-for-all. Free. We are. You can call

286
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:36,320
the sheriff. Sheriff tell them. Yeah.
No, they won't. They'll tell them to put

287
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,799
it out. They won't enforce our
ordinances.

288
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:46,080
I tell you, they will tell them not to
do it. That's it. But that's all they

289
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:50,960
can do. And I've been in the middle of
that one before. some more. Yeah.

290
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,880
Well, a lot of times just sheriff
showing up will be enough to scare them

291
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:59,200
to shut them down. Yeah. I I tried
shutting down a party one night at him

292
00:24:56,559 --> 00:25:03,679
house and it made it worse after sheriff
lock left. They got worse. It was a

293
00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:08,240
rental house. Yeah. It was our rental
house and they went over and asked who

294
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:13,360
who called the sheriff. The sheriff that
the new deputy told him and then they

295
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:19,919
turned up the music even louder
in the city. Huh? In the city limits.

296
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:24,240
Yeah. Do we have a noise? Uh,
can't do anything about that. Got to

297
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:27,240
have a Yeah, we can do anything
about

298
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:32,039
All right. Any other citizens call?

299
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:41,360
I have one more question. I don't mean
to be keep bugging you. Um, I want to

300
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:48,159
know one thing. Who else knows
Michelle's job? like 100% if something

301
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:54,559
were to happen to her and I hate to put
it in that terms but I've had two

302
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:59,919
aneurysms one that burst and I had a
stroke so anything can happen to anybody

303
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:06,880
at any time
and I need to know who knows Michelle's

304
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:14,799
job 100% we have an assistant city clerk
who Penny knows Drisco Driscoll yeah Oh,

305
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,000
she has she's been our assistant for
quite a while. Yeah. You call up here

306
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,039
and she's like, "I don't know. You'll
have to wait till Michelle gets back." I

307
00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:27,799
can't look that up. You got to wait till
Michelle gets back. I can't do that. You

308
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,799
have to wait till Michelle gets back.

309
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:37,600
Every time Every time I call or I call
for Tim or I come up,

310
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:43,919
what question are you asking? I mean,
that's what we need to know. Um,

311
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:49,039
somebody with a little bit more training
to back Michelle up to help the citizens

312
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:54,159
when we called in her
can I say something? Yeah, gets to work

313
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:58,080
30 hours a month. Okay. And that's not
very much time a week in the office. I'd

314
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,320
love to have her 40 hours. The city
can't afford that. So Teresa is always

315
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:06,240
working on pins and needles, afraid of
making a mistake. And I have told her

316
00:27:04,159 --> 00:27:11,760
numerous times all mistakes can be
fixed. But that is just who she is.

317
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:16,799
She's nervous. That's who she is. She's
a very, very sweet lady. She is will

318
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:20,720
visit with anybody, but her knowledge of
wanting to come out and answer questions

319
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:24,320
she is very uncomfortable with because
she's afraid of saying the wrong thing.

320
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,279
How long she been doing the job?
Teresa's

321
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:31,120
she's probably know she's probably been
with us for 10 years because she was

322
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:35,760
city treasure. She was treasure. Yeah.
She's just she's not in here enough.

323
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:41,120
She's in here two days a week, you know,
four hours. And I mean, that's just not

324
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:45,360
enough. And she drives from where? Out
here somewhere. And she's also a

325
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:49,200
Bronson.
But when I go away on vacation, I mean,

326
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,600
she's got it covered and I come back to
a clean desk. The other ones before her,

327
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:57,279
I mean, I wasted my time while going on
vacation. And she's helped me a lot on

328
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:01,760
the computer when I come in. Yeah. She
is just She's not speedy with it. I

329
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:07,279
mean, she doesn't have as much time and
years that I have in it, right? And

330
00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:12,080
she's she's just real doubtful and I'm
trying to build her confidence up. Okay.

331
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:17,520
So, it's not that she probably doesn't
know, just that she's she doesn't know

332
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:22,320
how to answer. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I
have Well, I think I know one of the

333
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:29,919
questions was Tim was having problems
with his meter and I asked her um if she

334
00:28:27,919 --> 00:28:37,039
knew when they were going to come down
and put in the new meter.

335
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:41,360
I wouldn't know that. I would work I
think even if a work order had been put

336
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:45,120
in. Yeah. I wouldn't know that until I
reached out to somebody on maintenance

337
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:48,399
to ask them, hey, you know, when are you
guys going to do this work order? I

338
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:51,360
wouldn't know that. I make the work
order. We both make the work orders. We

339
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,840
hang it up. If they've got something
else that takes priority over those work

340
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:59,200
orders, they've got to do that first and
then they'll come. So, I I never know

341
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,559
when a work order is going to be
completed or if if it got completed, you

342
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:08,960
know, I don't look through them each
day. Yeah. Okay. I have work orders. The

343
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,159
other concern I have is about wagon boys
riding all over town, hot riding their

344
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:16,880
trucks. Does anybody else have that
problem? They're doing what? Hot riding

345
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:21,919
their trucks all over town.
Don't tell me. Well, maybe I haven't had

346
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:25,760
any Michelle, you know that they've been
turned in for 10 years since she's 15

347
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:29,600
now they're driving, right, Michelle?
Yeah. There's nothing there's nothing we

348
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:35,640
can do about it cuz we don't have a cop.
Exactly. And if you see

349
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,640
on

350
00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:43,360
But again, I'm going to take care of
that problem on my own, too. No. Just

351
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:47,679
have video. They can't prove it. Just
we're going to move. Okay. I'm sure the

352
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,320
attorney's sitting here eating it all.
The other thing is about water bills.

353
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,960
How much more you going to keep raising
their sewers and waters? I mean, we

354
00:29:53,039 --> 00:30:00,799
can't take much more than property
taxes. To be totally honest with you,

355
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:04,960
the city I mean, we've got a $ 1.5
million sewer project. Yeah. That should

356
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:09,440
have been fixed a long time ago with we
put money in towards something like

357
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:12,320
before he came in office. That's for the
for something and then it all

358
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:17,600
disappeared. I don't have a number. No,
that is for that money was set aside for

359
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:21,360
the lagoons because it is very they have
no we have a separate account. No, you

360
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,600
told us you didn't know where it went
either. Michelle said money gets moved

361
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:32,880
around. How many citizens do we have in
in our heart? 490.

362
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:36,799
No. Yes, we do. 293. We're down
something like that. Everybody's moving

363
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:40,799
out. Okay.
The sewer. Okay. This is how this is

364
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:44,880
going to work. Okay. We are trying to
upgrade our lip stations and we've had

365
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:48,720
numerous meetings, public meetings on
our sewer lift stations. We tried to do

366
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:54,000
the whole entire town. I cannot remember
the dollar amount. The sewer stations is

367
00:30:50,880 --> 00:31:00,559
1.5 million. Kansas Water Office gave us
a grant for 750,000.

368
00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:06,640
We got approved for a loan through KDHE.
However, before we can touch that loan

369
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:11,840
to pay for them, KDHE is saying your
sewer rates need to be at this amount or

370
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:15,279
you cannot have that money. Yeah. You
guys keep moving around accounts like

371
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:19,360
this many.
All we do is monthly transfers. We move

372
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:22,880
the sewer reserve fund over to a
separate bank. And that's something this

373
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,960
mayor started. They never did that in
the past and it was all the money was in

374
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:30,799
one working fund and they just spent it
wherever they wanted to. We've got

375
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:36,000
several separate accounts that can't be
touched unless it's just for sewer or

376
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:38,640
for electric or for water. We've got
separate accounts for all that stuff.

377
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:44,240
It's going to take us forever to get
that done. No. No. Hopefully not. We

378
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:50,000
will. The loan with that we have, we
will start once we activate that loan,

379
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:54,480
we will start making payments on it. And
it's a 20-year loan. I We all live here.

380
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:59,200
I don't want to pay that. I don't want
to pay what we're paying now. But in

381
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:05,679
order to fix our issues, we've had an
employee that put in Daniel 70 hours

382
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:09,679
last week babysitting two lift stations.
We can't do that. I know it needs it

383
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:13,760
needs fix. Yeah. Yeah. We We can't be
without it. We We've got to get the

384
00:32:11,919 --> 00:32:17,600
money somewhere. Yeah. And if the sewer
lift stations don't get fixed and we got

385
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:22,720
sewer spilling all over the ground, then
we got fines from the state of Kansas.

386
00:32:19,919 --> 00:32:27,039
Is it the or is it the little bit of
everything?

387
00:32:24,399 --> 00:32:32,799
They're They're 25 years old. But if we
did the whole system, it would be over

388
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:36,480
$7 million. How can we get grants? We
did. We're trying. She gives grants to

389
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:42,880
everybody else and donate it. Well,
because a lot of those got stopped.

390
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:50,080
Yeah. Did you not buy Kelly's pocket?
No, that's not a lot of those grants

391
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:57,440
dollars. I'll tell you something. Last
last year, we tried to get a CBDG grant.

392
00:32:54,240 --> 00:33:01,120
to help with this. Y they decided they
were going after walking trails and they

393
00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:06,799
decided
that's a government that has nothing to

394
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:10,880
do with us. And I sat in on numerous
meetings with these people trying to get

395
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:17,679
something
this year. We got some

396
00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:25,440
a lot of money. It is a lot of money
taxes would property tax 12 or 13%. My

397
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,440
owners at 3 or 4%. No.

398
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:35,120
Okay, I think we're done.
We're going to move on.

399
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:43,519
Um,
unfinished business, the speed bumps.

400
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:49,440
Um, you guys have got that information.
Yeah. And also, can I share Larry called

401
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:54,399
and said, and I know I think Fred said
he was probably against this, but Larry

402
00:33:51,919 --> 00:33:59,840
said um he used to work on construction
before and he knows how to build the

403
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:03,600
mold or the framing
for speed bumps cuz they had to make

404
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:07,120
speed bumps for construction work out on
the highways. I said, "Yeah, but I think

405
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,079
it's got to have the yellow markers on
and he said, "Well, we could probably do

406
00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:15,119
that with fluorescent paint, but he
would fill the structures and fill it in

407
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:19,919
with um cold patch or whatever material
they use to make those speed bumps,

408
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:25,599
too." So, and I don't know anything
about a cost on that.

409
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:31,359
Larry just is offering to
Does that patch break down after? Yeah.

410
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:35,599
I'm just Yeah, I don't have to get the
signs. Yeah. Yes, we still need signs.

411
00:34:34,399 --> 00:34:41,440
I'm just throwing that out there because
Larry offered I let him try before we

412
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,480
purchase these.
But we're still going to have to

413
00:34:42,399 --> 00:34:52,560
purchase the signs when he does it. So
we can put them up at the park. Yeah.

414
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:56,639
Fred says it's okay. There's nothing.
When I was talking to Michelle, my my

415
00:34:55,040 --> 00:35:01,119
concern was if you didn't know what
you're doing, you don't want to just

416
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:06,480
throw a bump out there and then have
cars get damaged. And you I think I some

417
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:12,320
because I did a fair amount of research
on it. It can't be any more than 6 in in

418
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:15,320
height at any point or something around
that

419
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:25,320
versus the hump issue kind of thing. So
if he's had experience and and he's been

420
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:32,480
knows what he's doing.
Okay. Anyway, I told him I mention it to

421
00:35:29,359 --> 00:35:35,920
you guys so we can either
I can't see this.

422
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:41,440
Even if we try one, we're still going to
have to have sign. Yeah. So, we can go

423
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:45,760
ahead and purchase the signs and then
for that

424
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:50,079
sign because you you just you can't have
somebody hitting one at full speed not

425
00:35:47,839 --> 00:35:53,760
knowing it's there. That's going to
damage something. And we'll need signs

426
00:35:51,839 --> 00:35:59,680
going both ways, too. So, there's I have
six. I see six.

427
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:08,000
Yeah. Yeah. Has the city got enough
money if a drunk has arrested two packs?

428
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:12,480
As long as I got signs up.
Oh, we only need three. I looked at that

429
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:16,320
again.
Yeah, we only need three. That's an

430
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:21,839
insurance. Yeah, it looks like they're
three.

431
00:36:17,839 --> 00:36:27,599
Whatever. I read that question. Can a
citizen of the city put speed,

432
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:31,520
but do we want to wait until we talk
about the law enforcement? I mean, are

433
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:36,160
we going to need the speed bumps? It's
up to you. That's up to you guys. The

434
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:42,560
speed bump is is is kind of a self
enforcement. Yes. I mean, it's not going

435
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:48,000
to hinder anything. I don't
I want to go speed.

436
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:51,920
I know. So, do we want to do we want to
set a dollar amount for Larry to try

437
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:54,800
this or just try one and see what it
does? Well, we got cold patch down

438
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,400
there, don't we? Uh-huh. Yeah, we'll
just see what it does. I want to see.

439
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:04,880
Okay. But we got to have the signs
first. Yeah, sir.

440
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:08,640
Make a motion we have a motion by Ron.
Do I have a second? I'll second it.

441
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:14,400
Second by Charlotte. Any more
discussion? All in favor? Yes.

442
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:18,280
And then we get the signs. Well, then we
can have try.

443
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:27,440
All right. Um, thank you.
Next order of business. I do have

444
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:36,000
another letter of intent for the council
is from Cindy Mley.

445
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:42,400
She is back here. There she is. Um,
I know they are new to the town. They

446
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:49,040
came from Moran. Iola.
Sorry about that. Um,

447
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,839
so that is our second letter of intent.
So now that I have a couple, I'll

448
00:37:50,640 --> 00:38:00,880
probably be making the decision
probably by the next meeting.

449
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:06,880
Yes. You said last meeting that you
would have a decision made today. I

450
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:12,960
know. And but I got this new letter, so
I'm going to send it back in to send let

451
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:17,280
the council get to know her any
questions they might have. Well, you

452
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:21,599
tell me we can't interview them. Well,
you can talk to them. Well, that's the

453
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:27,520
same as interviewing
a formal like to come in at a council

454
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:34,079
meeting and be
but you you're free to call somebody up

455
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:38,640
and talk to whatever ask them questions.
I mean, you can talk to them all you

456
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:44,240
want. Okay. So, I know they're new to
town, so and I'm sure she's willing to

457
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:50,480
talk to anybody that wants to talk to
her. Okay.

458
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:54,560
inner letter of intent. Yes. What do you
have in it? Are we going to see it?

459
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:59,200
Well, I just have one. I didn't make
copies. It just says I would like to put

460
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:06,040
in for the open seat for the city
council

461
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:06,040
and our phone number. Okay. Okay.

462
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:15,599
All right. Um CDBG engineering
requirement.

463
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:20,480
That's you.
Well,

464
00:39:17,359 --> 00:39:28,079
I met a couple weeks ago with Nate,
Carolyn, and Michelle to talk about um

465
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:33,839
CDBG grants that would basically pull up
the tile floors. There are some girl

466
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:39,599
that are loose, kind of a safety hazard,
and replace that with like CET flooring.

467
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:44,720
We also talked about adding in um
automatic door openers for the cap

468
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:49,440
accessibility for the entrance and the
entrance to the gymnasium.

469
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:52,880
Um and we we kind of talked about some
of the requirements because CDBG has a

470
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:58,000
lot of different kinds of requirements
to it. Um you guys went through that

471
00:39:55,200 --> 00:40:02,960
process several years ago. Um that was
before my time. Oh, and I guess I should

472
00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:07,680
introduce myself by the way. Sorry. I'm
Vicki with Thrive County. Um, I'm a

473
00:40:05,839 --> 00:40:11,760
grant writer and I also brought Jessica
Thompson who's our deputy director

474
00:40:09,359 --> 00:40:18,480
because she answered any questions I
don't know. So, so sorry about that. Um,

475
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:24,800
anyway, we kind of talked about it and
uh since we met, a couple things came up

476
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:30,000
that that uh they thought that I should
probably talk to you guys as a group

477
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:34,800
about. Um, the main thing there's a
couple things that need to happen before

478
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:39,760
we can submit an application. One is you
need to fill out a preliminary

479
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:43,920
application online. And I think I I said
um you know, it's pretty simple. It asks

480
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:48,480
a few questions about what are you
doing, why are you doing it, you know,

481
00:40:45,839 --> 00:40:51,680
pretty simple answers, but if you need
help with that, we're more than help

482
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:56,560
happy to kind of walk you through that
process and and and kind of answer some

483
00:40:53,920 --> 00:41:02,640
of those questions for you. Um the other
thing that you will need is a public

484
00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:06,000
hearing. Um, and we were going to do
that tonight, but then we found out

485
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:11,520
something else that kind of delayed it.
So, uh, that's again a pretty simple

486
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:15,119
process. It's just a matter of, um, you
know, just just kind of letting the city

487
00:41:13,359 --> 00:41:19,440
know, the residents know what you're
doing and why, and they can discuss it,

488
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:24,000
um, at that time. Does it require
publication though? Yes. Okay. Yes.

489
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:29,760
Yeah.
Um, so the big thing, the reason why I'm

490
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:36,319
kind of here is um, you guys had quotes
for this work and um, and I even

491
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:41,040
calculated it uh, total. Oh, there's
also a 10% match from the city and you

492
00:41:39,359 --> 00:41:44,079
also will need to kind of hire a grant
administrator. Thrive doesn't do that,

493
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:48,400
but again, we can help you with that
process to do that. And they'll charge

494
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:54,319
generally charge a fee of about 10% to
10 to 12 and a half%. And um, that'll

495
00:41:52,240 --> 00:42:00,319
have to be bid. So hopefully it'll be
10% because they'll be competitive,

496
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:06,079
right? So um but the estimates that you
had for that came up to be about

497
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:10,640
$65,000.
So it's not going to be a huge project

498
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:16,560
hopefully. And this is for a smaller
project. That's what this this CDEG is

499
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:22,400
designed for. The problem is that um
unfortunately we can't use the bids that

500
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:27,200
you got. So, they require a preliminary
engineering or architectural report um

501
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:31,520
by a licensed professional engineer or
architect before the application be

502
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:35,119
submitted. And that's how you'll get
kind of the cost estimate as they'll

503
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:40,640
look at it all and kind of tell you
here's kind of what we think it'll cost.

504
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:44,800
And then if you're move forward with the
process, if you get the award, then put

505
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:51,839
it out for bid. The problem is if you
use the bids you got as that that

506
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:57,680
estimate, those people those companies
can't do the work. There's a a

507
00:42:54,720 --> 00:43:03,520
restriction that they have on that. Um
and

508
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:08,640
and then that cost I did message um the
guy with the department of commerce and

509
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:14,560
that cost can be included as your
matching funds or part of the grant

510
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:19,680
application in the end. Um, another
thing that you will need to pay for is

511
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:23,920
an environmental review, but that can be
done after the grant award. Um, you just

512
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:29,200
have to fill out a form that says, "Hey,
you will do this if awarded the funds."

513
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:33,119
So, and that, you know, that is
something the city does have to pay for

514
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:39,359
with local funds, but the other one can
be part of the grant. Um so I think

515
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:45,520
those are pretty much that pretty much
catches us up in uh information as to

516
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:51,200
where we are. So pretty much um to move
forward we'll need the uh preliminary

517
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:55,920
engineering and architectural report
that will give us a cost estimate that

518
00:43:53,440 --> 00:44:01,280
we can use for the public hearing. And
hopefully if we can get that all done um

519
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:08,079
the sooner the better. So hopefully we
could have maybe the public hearing in

520
00:44:03,119 --> 00:44:13,680
July. And is that in that engineering or
architecture? It's either or. It's just

521
00:44:11,359 --> 00:44:20,079
basically a cost estimate. Yeah, they're
basically it says that they will um

522
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:24,480
uh analyze the need, determine the most
appropriate solution alternatives and

523
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:29,839
provide. There's no engineering study or
anything. Okay. Okay. So maybe an

524
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:35,760
estimator. Yeah. Yeah. It shouldn't be
too big of a deal hopefully. But So, um,

525
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:42,560
do you guys have anybody anybody you
use? I mean, I'm assuming BG Consultants

526
00:44:39,119 --> 00:44:50,680
can do that work. Yeah, BG Consultants
or or um some other architecture firm

527
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:50,680
can can do that.

528
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:58,640
I I I mean when I talked to Michelle
about this BG who came to mind, but I'm

529
00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:03,280
sitting here thinking sometimes
Rick Zingray who's an architect in Fort

530
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:10,319
Scott who does a lot of city work around
here. Okay. What's that name again? Z I

531
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:15,839
N G R E. I think Rick Zingray.
I I think he's still working. He's not

532
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:20,319
battling. Uh I mean we're all getting
old

533
00:45:18,319 --> 00:45:24,560
been a while since I've seen but anyway
he he's pretty reasonable and if all

534
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:28,720
you're needing is an estimator he he
might be more reasonable than BG at

535
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:34,079
their rates but it's worth a phone call
you need he's in the book in in Yates in

536
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:39,760
Fort Scott. Okay. He's done a lot of
work for the Iola housing authority when

537
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:44,720
they were redoing a lot of stuff. He's
done work for Humble. He's done work

538
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:49,599
for
just he's done a lot of work over here

539
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:53,720
and he kind of caters to smaller
communities like this. So

540
00:45:53,920 --> 00:46:05,359
and he's an AIA certified architect. So
he would fit the bill. Okay. Got it.

541
00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:09,359
Is there a timeline on this? There's the
deadline is November, but I believe it's

542
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:16,560
like sort of it's first come first
serve. So once the funds are out there

543
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:24,640
Yeah. So we were trying to get in on the
head end of it

544
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:31,520
and say we would um get this does that
disqualify us from future CBD jeep to

545
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:38,319
whatever it is CDBG grants for a period
of time. Uh so you can't have more than

546
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:44,640
one going on at a time. So, if it takes
you a year to do this, then you can

547
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:49,440
apply for another one next year. But if
it takes you two years to do it, then

548
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:53,160
you can't apply for one until you're
done with the project.

549
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,480
Anything

550
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:14,400
else? No. Anybody else have any more
questions on it?

551
00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:19,200
Give them a call. All right. We will get
into it. Okay. All I can do you ready

552
00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:24,000
for the next step? Okay. Sure. Will. Is
that a 10day notice on the publication

553
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:30,079
do you think? I can't remember. I think
so. Here.

554
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:36,800
All right. Um the sewer charge days
before the hearing. Okay. Sorry. Sewer

555
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:41,560
charge variance. Um we have
sorry GIS I skip

556
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:46,200
GIS system code.

557
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:59,040
Is this the one that they said if we
want to go with it, we can get the they

558
00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:04,000
can help us with the grant to get it?
But then they also say they wanted us to

559
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:09,760
recruit people
or I don't have the email with me. Um it

560
00:48:07,839 --> 00:48:14,319
would be more successful if several
communities went together. You're right.

561
00:48:12,319 --> 00:48:20,160
Yes. Well, the only thing I can see that
they're going to do is it's simple. Take

562
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:24,400
your cell phone over there, take a
picture of that map, send it to your

563
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:30,240
email, pull it up on your computer, and
there it is. Why spend $13,000 for

564
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:36,400
something you can do right now in a
minute, less than a minute? Those guys

565
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:39,880
can pull these up on their phones.
Save us $13,000.

566
00:48:43,119 --> 00:48:50,160
I mean, that's common sense to me.
That's my opinion. Well, I'm not for

567
00:48:48,319 --> 00:48:56,160
doing it anyway. We can't I mean that
$13,000 we could spend somewhere else.

568
00:48:54,240 --> 00:49:00,160
I mean, Penny's put a lot together. She
knows where a lot of these are. She's

569
00:48:57,839 --> 00:49:05,200
designed her own map. Yeah. The map that
we had wasn't up to date. The lines

570
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:08,720
aren't where they say they are. It would
be more convenient, but I think we're

571
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:12,240
beyond that point right now. We're not
big enough to do it. We're not big

572
00:49:10,319 --> 00:49:16,800
enough. Financially, I don't think we
could afford to do it. It's a wonderful

573
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:20,960
program, but it's not I just don't think
it stable. We can always go back to it

574
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:26,200
later. Like we can always go back. We
don't have to do it right now. We can go

575
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,200
two years from now.

576
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:36,800
I think we ought to just put this on
hold. Okay.

577
00:49:34,079 --> 00:49:42,240
That's what we'll do. Is that what
everybody else wants to do? That's what

578
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:48,880
it'll be. Okay.
Right. Now we're moving on to the sewer

579
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:54,839
versions. Um
can I copy?

580
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,839
Okay. Um

581
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:05,800
I wrote a letter. Yeah. She's asking for
variance for a property that um

582
00:50:05,839 --> 00:50:18,480
she just wants water on, not sewer.
and she wants to not pay the sewer

583
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:22,720
charges for the water
because it doesn't have any dwellings on

584
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:26,040
it or anything and she's going to use it
for a garden.

585
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:36,240
Is there a meter there now? Water there
now. There is meter and water.

586
00:50:33,359 --> 00:50:40,160
She's one that turned on symbol water
test for water.

587
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:43,599
Well, the only thing with this is if we
do it for one, we got to do it for

588
00:50:41,599 --> 00:50:48,839
everybody. Yeah. And how many other
properties in town have water?

589
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:57,599
Well, with four shut them off with the
I don't know anything about this. Yeah.

590
00:50:55,599 --> 00:51:03,200
But I'm saying we kind of went through
this with TLC as I recall too. Yes, we

591
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:09,520
did. But this is a a vacant lot with no
structure on it that has no sewer

592
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:14,000
attachment or anything. It's it's just a
hydrant versus a house that has an

593
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:17,920
outside hydrant that is for a garden.
Correct. Okay. Yeah. I think there's a

594
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:23,760
distinction between that situation and
this one. Three other people though that

595
00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:29,119
just had garden spots with a spet and it
on a lot with the house. Nate. Okay. And

596
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:32,319
if a house would ever go in there then
obviously There's a meter on there.

597
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:35,280
They'll still have to pay a meter charge
and they still have to pay for water,

598
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:39,200
but they won't have a sewer charge
because it's not going down the sewer.

599
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:42,520
Yeah. There's no sewer service. So,
yeah. Okay.

600
00:51:46,079 --> 00:51:55,119
You could almost create a separate
water charge point in your ordinance for

601
00:51:52,640 --> 00:52:03,480
something like that and define exactly
what what would qualify.

602
00:51:58,559 --> 00:52:03,480
vacant lot, no other structures.

603
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:11,559
So, do I need a motion on this?

604
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:22,559
I think we should um notify the people
who have the same situation and offer

605
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:27,040
them the same conditions because that
was the reason they they turned it off

606
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:31,200
and I don't think that would be fair.
Well, the ones that turned it off, they

607
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:35,440
didn't want to pay the interchange.
No, they didn't want to pay because they

608
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:39,520
but they didn't want to either. They
could keep it. We told them they No, we

609
00:52:38,079 --> 00:52:42,880
told them mine's right there behind me,
but she didn't want to pay for the

610
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:46,960
meter. No, they didn't want to pay the
sewer charge. Yeah, they didn't pay that

611
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:49,760
either. They came in and asked and and
you guys wouldn't bend on that. You

612
00:52:48,559 --> 00:52:54,559
said, "No, if you got water, you got to
pay sewer."

613
00:52:52,079 --> 00:53:02,200
So, they shut them off. Cuz I fill in
the pool. Then I'd say let's not do it.

614
00:52:57,839 --> 00:53:02,200
Just leave it the way it is, I guess.

615
00:53:02,559 --> 00:53:11,040
So then you're saying that I got a water
meter across my street, my my house. I

616
00:53:08,559 --> 00:53:14,720
if I turn that on, I have to pay sewer
charge for water that's not even going

617
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:20,559
down the sewer. That's what they
evidently told the other people. I mean,

618
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:28,599
that's stupid. I know. I agree.
I mean, why would I want to pay $40 some

619
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:28,599
dollars just to my water my garden

620
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:36,480
out of my meter? To me, if the lot's
vacant and the meter's already on there

621
00:53:32,559 --> 00:53:40,559
and it's val or
go back and put an ordinance in there

622
00:53:38,079 --> 00:53:43,920
and make an ordinance and if you have a
vacant lot, this is what we charge you.

623
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:47,920
And if you don't have vacant lot, this
is what we charge you. We can go with

624
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:53,520
that route, too. We can do an ordinance
for the vacant launch with the meters on

625
00:53:50,079 --> 00:53:58,640
it just for the garden or we can do none
or we can do it the way we're doing it

626
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:02,079
now. There's another option. You got
options to these ideas. Well, that's why

627
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:05,200
most of them are shut off, right? Cuz
they don't want to pay the sewer. But if

628
00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:09,839
you come up with say like an ordinance
like Fred suggested like or we could do

629
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:15,240
say, "Hey, this is what we're charging
you for the baking with the on

630
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:22,880
So keep in mind the more restrictions we
have.

631
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:28,160
This is a we're we're coming up with the
solution. Well, see a lot of them the

632
00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:32,720
problem was the mine was on their house
too and they didn't want to put in a

633
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:36,960
separate meter.
They all had they all had separate

634
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:40,079
meters. They all had with a separate
meter and when they didn't do this they

635
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:45,520
would have to pay for two meter charge
meter. But they had to

636
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:51,119
regardless of whether they wanted to or
not. To follow up with what Angela was

637
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:58,160
saying is if you created a a new
category of water consumer

638
00:54:54,160 --> 00:55:04,559
that is only available for a vacant pot
with a outside hy with a hydrant and a

639
00:55:01,839 --> 00:55:08,240
separate meter where they would pay the
applicable water rate and the meter

640
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:16,599
charge.
It's a new user. It's a new consumer and

641
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:16,599
it's more volume that you're selling,

642
00:55:17,359 --> 00:55:24,160
right? And and you wouldn't have to have
people come all the time for asking for

643
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,280
and then if you want to see the
property, then you know, you're more

644
00:55:25,599 --> 00:55:32,559
than welcome to be like, "Okay, that one
has, you know, go by." And then you

645
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:37,280
probably need to address too that it was
a vacant lot, but they decide they want

646
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:40,160
water on it.
Who's going to pay for putting that in?

647
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,720
You're going to have to have to outline
all

648
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,839
that. They're going to have to have a
meter and we'll and you need to tell

649
00:55:44,559 --> 00:55:48,720
them how many foot they can have the
meter from the street. Otherwise, you're

650
00:55:47,599 --> 00:55:52,640
going to have people coming in here
wanting

651
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:56,200
two acres. Is isn't that basically a new
tap? Yeah.

652
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:04,079
I know. But we have to that that's the
option. So need to know they need to

653
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:08,160
know what the full options are before
well we have to get the ordinance like

654
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:13,040
if we want to go with the or like get in
the ordinance we have to build the

655
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:17,280
ordinance. Yeah. So you want to see what
Frank can come up with as far as you can

656
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:21,839
go ahead and approve if you want to and
then I'll come up with something that

657
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:25,599
cuz she's already got one there.
Well, a lot of them have them there.

658
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:30,319
Yeah, like Cynthia said the other ones
have there too. I think we should reach

659
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:37,400
out to them and let them know that we
are making this consideration and give

660
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,400
them that that option.

661
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,799
But they have the meter there.

662
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:50,319
Yeah, but I'm sure she's on the water
garden.

663
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:54,960
Well, not right now, but what is I if if
you approve it, I would love to turn it

664
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:59,440
on and pay that. And honestly, we know
the water's probably going to stop

665
00:56:56,799 --> 00:57:06,640
raining. So, I would I would like to use
this as soon as possible if if approved.

666
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:11,079
And that would be a residential rate,
right? Yes. Yes.

667
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:21,680
So, right now with this being in front
of us, we need to Do you want to make a

668
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:25,160
motion to grant this? Do you want to
wait? Anyone?

669
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:31,799
She'd like to be able to use it now.
Well, then you'll make motion.

670
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:43,119
You can make a motion. You need to get
the Yeah, we'll get the rest of it. Fred

671
00:57:38,799 --> 00:57:47,119
needs to draw something up on it. Yeah.
And our computer system will handle it

672
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:52,480
on fill in the water. Sure, Michelle.
Yeah. Okay. So, we've got to make a

673
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:58,960
motion that we could this here pending
what the forest deal comes up with.

674
00:57:55,599 --> 00:58:02,319
Well, what you approve it tell me to
come back with something that kind of

675
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:06,160
takes care of it. Takes care of
everything. It she says it's going to

676
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:10,559
turn hot and dry here real fast. Yeah,
it will. It will. So, do I have a motion

677
00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:13,839
to approve this? I'll make a motion we
approve it. Okay. I have a motion by

678
00:58:12,079 --> 00:58:18,640
Sherman. Do have a second. Second.
Second by Ron. Any more discussion? All

679
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:25,839
in favor?
Okay. Now, now Fred,

680
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:30,200
we'll have you go back
up. Okay.

681
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:44,640
Okay. Um, next
we need to

682
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:50,480
we the roof is done or getting done um
back in

683
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:56,960
May of 24 when we decided to go with
this bid. Um you guys had decided of

684
00:58:53,920 --> 00:59:01,040
where the funds were coming out of.
Um

685
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:08,559
this is being brought back before you
because we need to resend this vote.

686
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:16,880
And instead of just taking
10,000 out of fitness, we can take 15.

687
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:22,799
And then the other it's like it's close
to 35,000.

688
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:29,359
We can take five out of water, sewer,
electric, and general. So that would

689
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:35,920
cover the whole expense. But when you
voted, you voted to take the 25 out of

690
00:59:32,559 --> 00:59:40,079
the electric fund and and all of our
funds are looking pretty good. So I just

691
00:59:37,599 --> 00:59:48,040
seem to spread the
spread it around.

692
00:59:42,319 --> 00:59:48,040
So, I need a motion to resend this vote.

693
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:59,680
Make a motion resend this vote we made
back

694
00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:05,280
in 20 24. Okay. I have a motion by Ron.
Do I have a second? I'll second. Second

695
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:10,880
by chairman. Any more discussion?
All in favor?

696
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:18,880
All right. Now I need a motion to take
the funds out of 15,000 out of fitness,

697
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:23,799
5,000 out of each of water, sewer,
electric, and general. Right.

698
01:00:24,319 --> 01:00:35,839
I can make a motion. We take um 5,000
out of explorer and serve in general.

699
01:00:32,559 --> 01:00:40,319
Thank you. And then 15 out of fitness.
15 out of fitness. Fitness. Fitness.

700
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:43,680
Okay.
Okay. I have a motion by my wrong. Do I

701
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:47,799
have a second? I'll second. Second by
shar. Any more discussion?

702
01:00:52,640 --> 01:01:00,240
Law enforcement. Ron, you're up. Yeah.
We need a cop. We need him bad because

703
01:00:58,559 --> 01:01:03,440
there was a couple Yes. Just the other
day, wife and I was sitting out on the

704
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:08,880
front porch
and this car was coming down by the

705
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:12,799
church, little gray car.
Next thing you know, this big old truck

706
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:17,760
come flying around and passing right on
Main Street.

707
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:21,680
And in the evening and in the early
morning, I guarantee you biggest share

708
01:01:20,079 --> 01:01:26,079
of them people that go through town are
flying between 50 and 60 miles an hour

709
01:01:24,079 --> 01:01:30,880
for the school. I don't know if
everyone's good or not. Just anybody.

710
01:01:28,319 --> 01:01:37,520
Yeah. I mean, they fly up and down
Harrison. Yeah. It's all over. We need

711
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:42,880
to do something.
All right, Fred. So, I was going to

712
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:47,599
bring this up under my thing.
No, no, no. I'm glad you did because it

713
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:52,640
it uh
does yours much better. So, I've talked

714
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:56,720
to a couple of you people. You people
I've talked to a couple of you. Um, I'm

715
01:01:55,200 --> 01:02:01,680
not sure if I ever addressed the whole
council or not, but I have had this idea

716
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:05,440
in my head for a long time that there
has to be a way to work a deal with the

717
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:10,640
county.
And I had Michelle run some numbers a

718
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:16,000
while back about what you have spent on
law enforcement over the last several

719
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:24,079
years and what that has brought in as
far as traffic funds

720
01:02:20,319 --> 01:02:29,680
and with what those budget numbers were.
I think you could probably

721
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:37,720
offer the county almost a full-time
position without having any of that.

722
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,720
Um,

723
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:45,599
don't even have to furnish them a car.
Yeah. Without all that other stuff

724
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:49,920
that you now and I keep hearing things
like, well, they can't afford. Those are

725
01:02:48,079 --> 01:02:55,359
just roadblocks to be worked around. I
mean, I I've

726
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:59,920
I've spent 40 years priding myself on
thinking outside the box. I have an

727
01:02:58,079 --> 01:03:05,839
appointment with the sheriff next
Wednesday. Okay. I've told him I have no

728
01:03:02,799 --> 01:03:10,880
authority. I'm just there to brainstorm
to see if something couldn't be worked

729
01:03:07,839 --> 01:03:14,559
out. And I typed up a list of things I
would like you two to come up with

730
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:18,720
before then. And I went off and left it
in my printer. But it's basically what

731
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:23,119
hours would you like somebody here
regularly? If it's morning and evening,

732
01:03:21,039 --> 01:03:29,520
school time,
what what's what's our wish list? The

733
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:34,400
second one was uh what specific days
would be a good to have him here? Fourth

734
01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:41,680
of July,
uh heart days, whatever. Let's see. Um,

735
01:03:39,119 --> 01:03:46,400
and then random things like I had to ask
the sheriff today to have someone here

736
01:03:43,599 --> 01:03:53,200
for court this afternoon, which he
graciously sent over his his under

737
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:58,000
sheriff uh on a day he was extremely
thin on his on his crew because three of

738
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:02,559
them were subpoenaed into court. And so
he was run in a really tight chip, but

739
01:03:59,839 --> 01:04:08,000
he still sits. But anyway, in talking
with him just on the phone and setting

740
01:04:04,799 --> 01:04:15,200
up this meeting, he seems receptive. new
sheriff in town. Your situation's

741
01:04:10,319 --> 01:04:19,119
different. I would like to just
be have your blessing, I guess, to go

742
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:26,160
see if there's something that we could
work out. If the answer is no, you're no

743
01:04:21,119 --> 01:04:30,880
worse off. But the problem here is
finding a quality person for a part-time

744
01:04:28,559 --> 01:04:37,039
job.
Um, secondly, keeping them

745
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:42,160
and the
uncertainty of what that budget item is

746
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:50,160
going to require. I mean, it gets out of
hand as I think we've experienced

747
01:04:45,359 --> 01:04:54,880
and not having the the personnel issues,
not having the all the associated costs.

748
01:04:52,880 --> 01:05:00,480
And I've asked you to list go through
and get a true picture of what it costs

749
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:05,440
the city to hire somebody. I don't know,
but like I I think probably our

750
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:10,079
insurance goes up from a liability
standpoint because law enforcement

751
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:16,079
that wouldn't be the case. Your share of
FICA, your health insurance, um

752
01:05:12,559 --> 01:05:24,240
retirement, retirement, the Yeah. caper,
the certifications, the training, the

753
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:30,400
ammo for the firing. If we could strike
a deal that says we'll pay X number of

754
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:33,520
dollars. this is what we want as we know
we're going to have coverage these

755
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:37,680
times. These are the other times we
would like coverage and you're going to

756
01:05:35,119 --> 01:05:43,039
be on call for when we need you, you
know, if if there's a situation, right?

757
01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:46,640
The thing about
having law enforcement, if you don't

758
01:05:44,559 --> 01:05:50,000
have 24/7,
they're going to they're going to break

759
01:05:47,839 --> 01:05:53,920
the law when no one's here. That's just
that's

760
01:05:51,599 --> 01:05:57,359
the way it is. And so if you don't have
somebody here, you're not going to get

761
01:05:55,119 --> 01:06:04,960
somebody a ticket. But if but if there's
a regularity to it and then also a

762
01:06:00,319 --> 01:06:10,319
randomness to it, at least people know
there's there's a law enforcement

763
01:06:06,559 --> 01:06:17,760
element in town. And with what I think
we could offer, I think he could supply

764
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:21,280
that and probably help his department a
little bit too because it would give him

765
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:24,400
more manpower to supplement other
things.

766
01:06:23,039 --> 01:06:27,440
Yeah, there's going to be some give and
take. We got a lot of things to work

767
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:32,559
out, but I would I don't want to go in
there if I don't have your support to at

768
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:35,760
least explore it. What about you said
like the traffic violations would go

769
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:40,799
through district court and we'd keep
animal code here. That's my assumption

770
01:06:39,119 --> 01:06:45,119
because I don't think they want to have
to send somebody over here for court

771
01:06:42,079 --> 01:06:50,799
every day, right? And the the dollars
that you told me we collected in in

772
01:06:47,359 --> 01:06:55,440
traffic fines was minimal. Mhm. So the
code enforcement which is Penny which is

773
01:06:53,599 --> 01:07:00,799
basically
for the last several years has been what

774
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:06,400
80% of our dock we can handle that in in
here. So you'd lose the you lose the

775
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:13,520
fine money that was going for the
traffic but in in comparison

776
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:17,359
it's a nice trade-off I think. Well also
let me why I have okay attorney's fees

777
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:22,240
for courtapp appointed we wouldn't have
to do those anymore. I don't know what

778
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:25,280
we've gone unreimbured for jail fees. I
know we don't always collect those back

779
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:29,520
cuz when people don't pay, they don't
pay. We don't have that anymore. That's

780
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:33,920
all in the county. Not only that, if the
judge does issue a warrant, there's a

781
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:38,079
possibility we won't have the the
individual brought out here because

782
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:41,920
they're not there to transport back and
forth. I just had that phone call and I

783
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:46,319
called Fred immediately. It's like,
well, you call the sheriff. We worked it

784
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:50,880
out. Yeah. Uh,
and it worked out okay, but it was still

785
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:56,160
a bit of a beg to get somebody here for
court, which was um,

786
01:07:54,400 --> 01:08:01,839
nice to have. Let's just say that. It's
got to be better than not having to cop.

787
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:08,079
Yeah. And and and the truth is, you
know, small towns can't afford it. You

788
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:12,079
really can't. And I I've almost, if this
works, I'm tempted to pick up the phone

789
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:18,239
and call Moran and say, "You guys need
to do this, too." Mhm. Um well gas is

790
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:23,199
the same way is it? Well I didn't have a
constable or anything

791
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:28,400
I think I think there would be a in this
short distance there would be a good

792
01:08:26,159 --> 01:08:32,159
area here to patrol. The things I wanted
to say too you wouldn't have to worry

793
01:08:29,679 --> 01:08:37,839
about vacation and all that. So it's a
lot of these benefits of what eats

794
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:41,440
alive. But my main concern is will they
and can they enforce our city

795
01:08:39,679 --> 01:08:46,719
ordinances? Well, you're paying for a
ser. Yes, that there's a workaround

796
01:08:43,440 --> 01:08:49,440
around that. That's that's that's one of
the frustrating things I hear when

797
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:53,120
people just say, "Well, we can't do it."
Well,

798
01:08:51,199 --> 01:08:57,759
let's find a way to do it instead of
saying we can't. Yeah, there's a way to

799
01:08:55,279 --> 01:09:03,359
do that. I haven't quite sorted it out,
but if nothing else, they they become a

800
01:09:00,799 --> 01:09:07,440
deputy. I mean, there's a way.
interlocal government agreement I I

801
01:09:05,759 --> 01:09:13,679
think would probably be also work to
just say they are now part of LAR uh

802
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:17,759
hours you could still probably have that
like we had before so I think it would

803
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:22,480
be a terrific idea I think it's worth
checking into so your homework before

804
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:28,480
next Wednesday at 1:00 okay is to sit
down and I I apolog I

805
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:32,319
nicely typed it's so neat and it's
sitting in my printer oh yeah so I'll

806
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:37,920
I'll email it to you tomorrow okay
that'll work But I would like to know

807
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:43,920
just of what it is you're looking for as
far as numbers of hours, dates. Um, and

808
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,719
then I think you guys need to get a
handle on what you guys have spent over

809
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:50,400
the last several years. And I think
you're going to be surprised. We got a

810
01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:54,640
car sitting up there. I was going to
say, what are we going to do with that

811
01:09:52,159 --> 01:09:59,440
$35,000 car that Well, that's part of
the poker chips on my side. That's part

812
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:02,480
of the poker chips on my side. We came
out good on the last one, and I'm sure

813
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:07,280
we do the same this time. But you're
probably still paying insurance on it,

814
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:12,880
right? Yeah, we have to. Yeah, that's my
point. It's it's a drain.

815
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:20,000
And I think this might be a longer term
solution if and again, new new sheriff

816
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:23,760
in town, new ideas, right? Not so many
preconceived

817
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:27,920
notions. We can outline the holidays
where we want coverage and all that.

818
01:10:25,199 --> 01:10:32,400
Yeah. Yep. So, are you guys okay with
him going forward? Yeah,

819
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:36,400
and I talked about I have no authority.
I've been upfront with you. I said I

820
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:40,320
have no negotiating authority. I'm just
here to explore ideas. So, well, we we

821
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:44,000
need some coverage. You got three
daycarees that come down there and go to

822
01:10:41,679 --> 01:10:48,480
our park and they're not going 20 mph
down that road. Yeah. And I'm worried

823
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:52,239
about some kids life.
So, we need this.

824
01:10:50,719 --> 01:10:58,159
If we can work something like that out,
it'd be great. Yeah. If you need me to

825
01:10:54,640 --> 01:11:04,560
help with time to put in on it, I will.
Okay. So, Brad get all get together.

826
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:11,000
We'll get that done. All right. The next
order removal bid for 406 South

827
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,000
McKenley.

828
01:11:12,239 --> 01:11:23,920
Only got one bid.
I know.

829
01:11:17,679 --> 01:11:27,840
Um from Ray and it's $1,200. $1,200.
That's pretty.

830
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:32,880
So I need a motion to accept. I'll make
a motion.

831
01:11:29,679 --> 01:11:39,040
Motion by Ron. Do I have a second?
I'll second it. Second by

832
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:45,239
second by chairman. And all in favor?
How are we paying for this? Um it will

833
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:45,239
come out of

834
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:53,120
general
that's under because last month we we

835
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:58,280
did two. Yeah. Yeah. We did two of them
last month. Yeah. Yeah. So, it'll come

836
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,280
out of general.

837
01:11:58,719 --> 01:12:07,199
All right. Moving on. All in favor? Oh,
all in favor. Sorry.

838
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:13,360
Okay.
Fred, that was my

839
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:17,679
shot my on that one. Um Roy is not Oh,
hi Roy. I was going to say you're not

840
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:22,719
here. How are you? I'm good. I'm good.
Nothing new here. Good.

841
01:12:20,719 --> 01:12:26,320
Um
um you'll see Wait a minute. We got a

842
01:12:24,239 --> 01:12:32,719
water hydrant. Yeah. Larry Tony stopped
in the office today. Very upset. Um

843
01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:36,960
their water hydrant or their fire
hydrant, water hydrant, whatever you

844
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:41,760
want to call it. The blue one. Somebody
attempted to turn on whatever is they

845
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:45,920
broke it. So he was in town this
afternoon fixing it. They're having a

846
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:50,400
meeting tomorrow night. Public wholesale
is. And he said he'll have Roy report

847
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:54,280
back to me. He's probably going to ask
for some reimbursement

848
01:12:54,480 --> 01:13:02,880
on it.
Okay. Who tried to do that? I don't

849
01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:06,719
know. I I don't know. Maybe Roy will
find out more tomorrow night. I'll find

850
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:10,199
out
over by the water

851
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:17,199
straight east. Okay. Jog over Taylor.
That one right there on the corner.

852
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:20,800
Yeah. He said it was broken and Okay.
Right away somebody going to hit that

853
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:28,080
thing. That's like 4 foot down the
ditch. Yeah. That's weird. Okay. Okay.

854
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:33,920
Okay. All right. Penny, I have her
monthly her Yeah. Her monthly report.

855
01:13:31,679 --> 01:13:38,159
Anybody wants to read it? Mark, you're
up. We have the minutes.

856
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:42,880
Yeah. We'll get back on the whistles
when it kind of was raining. We want to

857
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:49,280
hear from y. Okay. That's all we got
going right now.

858
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:54,640
Um, thank you guys.
Work orders.

859
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:59,719
Michelle, you're up. Only thing I got on
the work orders, they're not always

860
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,719
putting an address on there.

861
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:09,080
Okay. Okay. I told Michelle, is it on
all of them or just part of some?

862
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:21,360
Okay. Okay. I received a
insurance check on um Jerry Jerry

863
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:26,800
Adair's place. He knows that we have
this check. I didn't know what it was

864
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:33,120
for, but state law says all Kansas
communities have a 15% lean ordinance on

865
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:38,159
their homeowners insurance. And this
check is for a little over 9,000.

866
01:14:36,239 --> 01:14:43,280
And what we're what the city is entitled
to do with this is to hold on to it

867
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:47,760
until the city is satisfied with the
clearing of his property and then

868
01:14:45,199 --> 01:14:52,159
release the funds to him. If it he
doesn't get done in a timely manner, the

869
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:57,199
city can go in and pay somebody to do it
and he'll get the difference. Okay. But

870
01:14:55,440 --> 01:15:00,320
it also when I was looking at our
ordinance and I found that out from the

871
01:14:58,719 --> 01:15:04,719
insurance lady because I haven't seen
one of these in 12 years that I've been

872
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:09,280
here like what do I do with this? I also
found

873
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:13,920
that with these, it's in our fire
ordinance.

874
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:17,239
Um,
we have to

875
01:15:18,070 --> 01:15:25,280
[Music]
uh we have to open a fund as the fire

876
01:15:22,480 --> 01:15:29,600
insurance proceed fund. All monies
receive received as provided by this

877
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:33,920
article should be placed in said fund
and deposited in an interest bearing

878
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:38,480
account. Well, I've talked to Fred about
it after CO. I mean, I've been here

879
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:44,000
almost 13 years, and this is the first
one I've ever seen. And he suggested a

880
01:15:41,199 --> 01:15:50,239
separate line item in QuickBooks that
this is fire fun. This is Jerry's money

881
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:53,920
whenever he gets the property cleared.
Yeah.

882
01:15:52,159 --> 01:15:59,360
After we talked, I I had another
thought. Do you have a fund or an

883
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:03,920
account with the state for like your
excess money that's they they invest?

884
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:09,000
Okay. Not with the state. Well, you can
just stick it in there and get some

885
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:09,000
interest on it. When does that

886
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:20,320
has to be cash within so many days?
After 180 days, six months,

887
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:25,360
they did the same thing to us. It's a
handful. Yeah. And

888
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:29,360
when I got our h Well, when we had to
have when we got the house cleaned up,

889
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:33,440
we got our money back plus interest.
Yeah. And and that's the issue. So we

890
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:40,199
can find out. So we need we can find out
what the state interest is and pay him

891
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:40,199
the difference. So

892
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:49,600
well, I think what I think you could
find out what a local bank's interest

893
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:54,400
would be for count. Okay. But much, you
know, it's $8 $9,000. I think it they're

894
01:16:52,880 --> 01:17:00,719
supposed to get cleaned up within like
90 days or something. I did the

895
01:16:56,560 --> 01:17:05,600
calculation. It's like $8 a month. So,
my thought was it might be easier to

896
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:11,760
just put it in your fund, your general
fund as a separate fund. Put Sorry, two

897
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:16,239
wrong terms there. Put it in your
general account. Okay. as a separate

898
01:17:14,480 --> 01:17:20,239
fund, which means it has a separate page
and you track it separately. It's

899
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:26,159
segregated, but it's still comming.
Yeah. And then if they want interest,

900
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:30,719
you write them a check for $24 from you.
Okay. Okay. Because otherwise, you're

901
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:36,480
going to have to run into the bank and
sign new cards and and you're going to

902
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:43,520
get 2% or 3% on your Well, when they
just put it in a general fund, but our

903
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:46,600
checking account doesn't get interest.
We just

904
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:55,520
I'm just asking that question.
So his 90 days starts tonight. 90 days

905
01:17:52,800 --> 01:18:00,080
starts tonight. Yeah.
Your 90 days starts tonight. Thanks.

906
01:18:01,199 --> 01:18:05,560
I'm going to ask you questions like

907
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:18,960
you know you put now because they've
allowed Do you care if it's on interest

908
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:22,560
or not? That's what I like. No, I just I
just want to get it done. Yeah, that's

909
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:28,640
my thought too. Yeah, I mean it's it's
probably less than 20 bucks total. You

910
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:36,400
kept the whole $20. So, it's a lot of
hassle to open up a whole new account.

911
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:40,880
So, in the 90 days when he if he's
completed, can Penny okay that or does

912
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:46,159
the council need to go okay that before
releasing this? I think if this is my

913
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:51,760
opinion. Y
I think that's Penny's job. Okay. If

914
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:55,520
Kenny's happy, we're good. You're good.
You're not Yeah. Get a hold of us

915
01:18:53,440 --> 01:18:59,920
whenever you've got it all cleared.
Yeah. Like And if she signs off on it,

916
01:18:58,239 --> 01:19:04,000
she'll cut you a check. Yeah. That's
Yeah. The insurance company said you

917
01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:09,440
were aware of all this and Yes. Okay.
had a good adjuster. Okay. Okay. They

918
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:13,440
explained all that to me. Okay. Good.
Yeah. That's what she told me. It's

919
01:19:10,719 --> 01:19:18,320
like, okay, good. Okay. So, we'll do
that. Okay. Um,

920
01:19:16,480 --> 01:19:24,080
Kyle
emailed me and he he would like to set

921
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:31,520
up the 2026 budget meeting Monday, July
7th at 6:00 with our budget hearing then

922
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:36,960
at the August
meeting, council meeting. And the reason

923
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:41,520
why July 7th, yes, because if we have to
exceed our RNR, it needs to be turned

924
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:46,719
into the county clerk
by July 20th before. You have to simply

925
01:19:44,239 --> 01:19:52,080
give the clerk a letter that says you're
going to exceed the RNR by July 15th.

926
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:55,840
15. Okay. Thank you. But you can have
your you can have your hearing later.

927
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:59,920
It's just you have to give her notice
because then she sends out a Yeah. Yeah.

928
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:03,520
But you should be getting like just talk
to her today. You should be getting your

929
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:08,000
information from her to finish your
budget like in the next day or two. She

930
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:15,360
said because you have a July one
valuation that factors into that in your

931
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:21,920
budget worksheet. didn't matter.
So, will July 7th work for everybody at

932
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:27,600
6? It won't work. But what do you I can
we have ball games that night? We're at

933
01:20:24,719 --> 01:20:33,840
tournament that night. But we can I can
call Who's doing this for you?

934
01:20:31,199 --> 01:20:37,840
Um down there.
Yeah. Okay. They're just coming to

935
01:20:35,199 --> 01:20:42,960
discuss the budget. Okay. That's not
your hearing.

936
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:46,560
Yeah. This is if we have to need to
receive RNR, we can get this to right

937
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:51,440
because your notice for your hearing has
to say whether or not you want. Okay,

938
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:54,920
I'm with you now. Sorry.
It's on Monday.

939
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:02,600
Let this go by. Yeah.

940
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:13,320
You should have heard her couple.

941
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:22,120
I'll get two signatures.
As far as

942
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:30,080
this last thing over there, right now
I'm recording

943
01:21:28,159 --> 01:21:35,760
this council meeting because I've had
some citizens ask if we would live

944
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:39,840
stream and I personally do not want to
live stream on Facebook because I get

945
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:43,199
sick and tired of comments on Facebook.
I know you can turn them off. I don't

946
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:50,320
want nothing to do with Facebook on our
videos. However, I am recording this to

947
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:54,719
see if I can post a video on our
website,

948
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:57,840
our city website, like Iola does, you
know, with a link of the day of council

949
01:21:56,480 --> 01:22:00,960
meeting and people can get in there and
view it at their own time and won't be

950
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:04,639
able to comment on it. They'll just sit
there and watch it like watching a TV

951
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:10,480
show.
But I didn't know how you guys felt

952
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:16,560
about that. Or like I said, I just had a
few ask if we could live stream. I'm not

953
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:23,199
a fan of the live. No, I don't like
Facebook.

954
01:22:19,440 --> 01:22:26,960
Facebook. So, you okay with the just
recording it and then we just put it on

955
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:31,600
our website? They can't comment on it.
Well, it it' be a link and all they

956
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:35,760
could do is watch it. It's just a video
file with that you put the link to the

957
01:22:33,440 --> 01:22:40,000
video. It's pretty much just watching
what we you just watch, right? You can't

958
01:22:38,239 --> 01:22:42,960
comment. You can't And then if you have
a concern, then they can come up like,

959
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:46,639
"Hey, that council meeting, this is what
we heard." And then But I'm also

960
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:51,600
wondering, you know, how that this
feed's going to be with hearing

961
01:22:48,639 --> 01:22:55,920
everybody's Yeah. discussion.
Yeah. This is just trial right now. We

962
01:22:53,280 --> 01:23:03,360
may need, you know, an extra different
sitting in here anyway. Yeah. And I

963
01:22:58,719 --> 01:23:09,000
didn't I I'm fine with it. I am too.
Go for it. That's it. Okay.

964
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:29,120
All right. Um do that.
Anything else to discuss on the agenda?

965
01:23:26,639 --> 01:23:33,120
So, did we buy a mower?
Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did. Did I miss

966
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:37,280
the bill?
We bought the mower. You guys approved

967
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:41,760
it. Yeah, we approved it, but I didn't
see Yeah, we spent a lot less than what

968
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:47,199
we needed. It was on I think we put on
the credit. Uhhuh. It was through Home

969
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:51,360
Depot. Yeah. Okay. I didn't see anything
which I guess that's bills. I can email.

970
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:56,159
I never thought about that. I can email
you, but it was a lot less than what you

971
01:23:52,880 --> 01:24:02,000
guys like 3,900 or something. Have we
heard anything on the other? Um, yes. He

972
01:23:59,440 --> 01:24:06,320
says, "Yes." Um, they don't make that
engine anymore, so it's going to be a

973
01:24:03,440 --> 01:24:11,040
Kawasaki engine. Mhm. And RNR is just
waiting on them to send it to them so

974
01:24:08,480 --> 01:24:15,600
they can put it in. Sweet.
Okay. So,

975
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:18,480
in a few days.
