everything ready for that all it's all

61
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,599
roughed in uh because that that gets

62
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:22,040
pavers on top of

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,239
that uh and then the ice slop floor

64
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:27,239
installs ongoing and then uh as of last

65
00:03:27,239 --> 00:03:29,239
Friday we've rerouted our struction

66
00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:31,560
fence along 7th AV uh for the P tree

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,200
setup it's pretty swampy out there right

68
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,120
now but uh eventually that'll that

69
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,640
spot's carved out for the

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,879
tree um upcoming uh they have started

71
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:45,080
installing C the curtain wall system at

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,000
the Depot and so all that glass uh

73
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
should be in early next week and they'll

74
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,319
get that installed I think I believe

75
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,519
they've got five openings uh of the

76
00:03:52,519 --> 00:03:54,840
curtain wall system in so

77
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,319
far um and then we will also be

78
00:03:57,319 --> 00:03:59,280
sheathing the roof the the truss work is

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,959
complete now

80
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:04,000
uh and that um mechanical me install so

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,519
starting to pipe up everything to the

82
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:09,519
chiller um and out to the condenser

83
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:14,720
there uh final items we touched on the play structure already which um

84
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,840
that'll start next Monday and and likely

85
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:20,440
go a little longer than a week um that's

86
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,360
a contractor coming in from St Louis

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320
area uh and then site papers we we have

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,320
the first uh first pour of paper base

89
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,080
down uh they're looking for I a little

90
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,919
bit more space so hopefully mid next

91
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:35,759
week we'll be able to get uh hm uh

92
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,600
asphalt and which which will be the

93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,160
actual layer that the the papers sit on

94
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,720
there around both uh the east side where

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,440
um adjacent to the broaden main building

96
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,080
and then also um around the depot

97
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,320
itself and then uh we are currently with

98
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,280
our our uh our ice Loop pores occurring

99
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,479
U middle of middle of November through

100
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:01,120
the beginning of December we've got a um

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,520
a period of time that we cannot do

102
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,160
anything with that concrete uh for

103
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,400
caring purposes and so we're looking at

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,280
uh early January getting that first

105
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:10,400
sheet of ice on everything painted and

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,759
going through all that that training

107
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:18,150
process with the city for the ice Loop

108
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,560
itself great and with that uh as always

109
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,240

that we'll be happy to answer any

115
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:41,360
questions so the question I keep getting

116
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,039
asked is will the ice loop at all be

117
00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:49,039
open this winter Seth will touch on that

118
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:50,120
moment

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,680
per I hate to steal his thunder so that

120
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,600
I mean that's the key question I think

121
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,880
obviously once we start putting the

122
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,680
windows on the depot that is going to

123
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,759
change a lot lot of the the appearance

124
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:02,960
and what's going on I think people still

125
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,160
don't understand what's going to happen

126
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,360
with the depot that that's going to be

127
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,639
en closed because you're doing a lot of

128
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:10,000
work inside if they're not seeing so

129
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,440
once you guys put the windows slap the

130
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,360
windows in there people are going to say

131
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,880
wow that's gonna that's looking really

132
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,319
nice so looking forward to that the

133
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:19,120
other piece of of that after the windows

134
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,759
go in is we do have the The Columns for

135
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:23,720
the canopy being Mill uh so that they

136
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,680
have that same decorative pattern on the

137
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,720
corners that the the old ones did and so

138
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,639
once once the windows are in then we'll

139
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:32,280
get those those columns in and get that

140
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,960
canopy built back so one other question

141
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,680
so once we come to the spring time and

142
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,360
maybe this is Suess question too but

143
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,560
once we come to the springtime obviously

144
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,639
you've got a work Zone there with all

145
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:48,319
the grass and mud and everything so so

146
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:49,800
is that I'm assuming that's all the

147
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,759
spring work that Parks needs to be doing

148
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:55,840
and getting that all put back into shape

149
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,039
so that that will be part of our

150
00:06:57,039 --> 00:06:58,560
contract that's part of your contract

151
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,639
yes uh seaing and then there's a um a

152
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:04,440
reinforced Turf that goes along 7th AV

153
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,800
uh and and then the plantings yeah so we

154
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,720
we'll uh we'll re-engage and hopefully

155
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,560
early early to mid-march on some of that

156
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,199
stuff um okay our our intent for right

157
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:16,039
now is to put up snow fence through the

158
00:07:16,039 --> 00:07:18,280
winter um that basically blocks off so

159
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:25,110
that ping is the only accessible route

160
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,199
okay um Louie first off I want to um

161
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:30,120
just

162
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240
I guess say congratulations because the

163
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,479
chiller equipment is on site it is and

164
00:07:35,479 --> 00:07:39,440
ready to be plumbed in yep and that

165
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,639
initial work to make that system

166
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:43,800
operable I I think last time you were

167
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,240
here I expressed just a concern about

168
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,479
you know that's that's the critical hunk

169
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:50,319
of equipment that's really meaningful to

170
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:54,440
the whole uh upgrade of the plaza um so

171
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,639
I just again congratulations for that

172
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:58,000
and I'm just hoping that we don't have

173
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,360
too bad of weather in between now and

174
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,560
the end of the year so all that work can

175
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,000
progress um Seth in advance of uh

176
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,960
responding to Steve's question you know

177
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,479
he's very anxious to see the ice sheet

178
00:08:11,479 --> 00:08:13,919
ready to go I just want to know will you

179
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:18,080
be renting double Runner skates uh for

180
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,879
Steve you know they're it's a safety

181
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:21,840
thing those two Runners on each skate

182
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,879
are an important thing for him I'll be

183
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:27,510

00:16:57,839 --> 00:16:59,240
came up at the last minutes so I had to

367
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,640
go elsewhere but uh and 7,500 room

368
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,199
reservations and that again is a

369
00:17:06,199 --> 00:17:07,720
significant number because that's over

370
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,120
20 per day of reservations of of the

371
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:13,439
library and I'm not there all the time

372
00:17:13,439 --> 00:17:16,000
but when I do go into the library almost

373
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,160
without fail I see four or five of those

374
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:24,600
rooms occupied and being used by uh the residents of Maran so it's just a

375
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,400
wonderful thing some new things at the

376
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,919

Maran uh borrowers must be 18 years of

381
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:45,280

382
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,320
library's library of things which also

383
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,960

to encourage curiosity and

480
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,039
creativity this is generously uh enabled

481
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:50,760
by a grant through Alliant Energy who is

482
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,640
no doubt thinking about recruiting

00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,679
future employees um and uh there are

484
00:22:57,679 --> 00:22:59,840

00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,520
puzzles games kits for themed

486
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,760
learning um the steam learning is a

487
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,640
priority for the

488
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,080
library um as you can see in the

489
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,320
Strategic plan that's in front of you

490
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,400
right now that's one of the U one of the

491
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,679
one one of part of the mission that we

492
00:23:19,679 --> 00:23:23,870
uh feel that we want to provide to the

493
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,279
community okay so how do we pay for all

494
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:29,600
of this cool stuff

495
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,640
here is our adopted budget here is our

496
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,880
expended

497
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,720
amount here is our revenue

498
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,720
generated and then this is the result

499
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,600
based on careful management and skillful

500
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,799
leadership and I would also note this is

501
00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:51,039
the third year in a row that the library

502
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:55,240
has come in healthly under the budget

503
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,159
that it's

504
00:23:57,159 --> 00:23:59,799
adopted and

505
00:23:59,799 --> 00:24:03,840
like I said good management skillful

506
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,400
leadership okay My Philosophy is that

507
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,080
every presentation needs at least one

508
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,640
pie chart so here's the first one it

509
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,679
breaks down in Broad categories the

510
00:24:13,679 --> 00:24:16,080
designations of our

511
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,840
expenses their Staffing operations and

512
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,000
collections

513
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,640
broadly I I honestly feel that each of

514
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,480
these three categories has been

515
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,080
cultivated in a way to bring out the

516
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,279
very best and could

517
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:32,520
talk quite a bit about any of those

518
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,480
three um but this pie chart then uh

519
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,600
splits it a little bit more specifically

520
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,880
into how our collection uh portion is

521
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,320
divvied up so with that physical

522
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,840
materials are things like books and

523
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,159
magazines and the ebikes and the library

524
00:24:51,159 --> 00:24:54,480
of things things downloadable materials

525
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,840
are things like ebooks electronic

526
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,480
resources

527
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,240
and then other is a category designated

528
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,600
by the State library of Iowa and things

529
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,919
like reference databases such as

530
00:25:08,919 --> 00:25:11,520
ancestry.com resources like LinkedIn

531
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,279
learning

532
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:17,000
Esco and uh brain fuse which is kind of

533
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,360
a

534
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:22,720
um uh online tutoring job placement

535
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,039
personalized help with developing a

536
00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:29,080
resume uh and those kinds of things

537
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:34,000
so uh this has been a great year I think

538
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,679
reflects some very good teamwork on on

539
00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:39,039
the part of the

540
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:43,000
staff uh and very careful and uh skilled

541
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,679
management and and Leadership there so

542
00:25:46,679 --> 00:25:48,320
I'm very excited about what the next

543
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,640
year can bring as well all right thank

two of the things that I just personally

553
00:26:12,919 --> 00:26:15,360
believe in um that libraries should be

554
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,320
for I'm really happy to see within the

555
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,760
libraries mission and vision and one

556
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,600
that's providing Equitable access to

557
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,399
Residents and especially underserved

558
00:26:23,399 --> 00:26:25,399
communities but also recognizing that

559
00:26:25,399 --> 00:26:26,919
the modern library is the community

560
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:29,200
center and not just books the books are

561
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,640
super important and that's kind of the backbone of the library but as you

562
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,720
guys talked about it's the library of

563
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,240
things people are enjoying the

564
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,559
programming um and and I like being able

565
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:40,720
to see that mission and that Vision it's

566
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,880
very obvious that those are within all

567
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,399
of these um objective and objective

568
00:26:46,399 --> 00:26:48,720
items on the Strategic plan and so I

569
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,039
just want to say that yeah thank you to you and the board thank you to Bill

570
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:53,760
and you're amazing staff because I think

571
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,039
residents not just in Maran but from the

572
00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:58,919
whole metro area see that work in in

573
00:26:58,919 --> 00:27:00,880
that direction and for me I personally

574
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,880
think it's just going in a really

575
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,559
positive direction seeing this strategic

576
00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:04,960
plan I'm excited to see what you guys

577
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,360
continue to do thank you for saying that

578
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:09,200
I appreciate

579
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,640
that so when we have city council hours

580
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,159
there when we talk to people coming in

581
00:27:15,159 --> 00:27:17,279
we notice at times there's people from

582
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:20,919
obviously from hawaa Cedar Rapids do you

583
00:27:20,919 --> 00:27:24,120
keep track or are you able to out of the

584
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:27,760
total 176,000 people that visited do you

585
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,559
have a bre break down of where they all

586
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:33,760
come from or is that possible yes excuse

587
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,840
me we do have a breakdown um by

588
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,399
municipality as well as uh Rural and

589
00:27:38,399 --> 00:27:40,720
County users um so we do have the

590
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,480
ability to track that and we do track

591
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,919
that I think that's an interesting

592
00:27:44,919 --> 00:27:48,519
statistic to show that that is not just

593
00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:50,000
drawing people from Maring but it is

594
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,840
drawing people from the surrounding area

595
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,880
to come to Maran so I don't call it

596
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,600
tourism but it is bringing people to

597
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,080
marry and so it really participates in

598
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,360
that manner and I'm absolutely shocked

599
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:06,399
you guys did not mention one thing or if

600
00:28:06,399 --> 00:28:09,000
I missed it I was sleeping did you guys

601
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,640
talk about the

602
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,880
bookmobile we did not talk about the

603
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,960
bookmobile because it didn't launch in

604
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,760
fy4 well yeah but you got a stage here I

605
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,080
thought you might bring it up so very

606
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,000
briefly um I I don't know what time

607
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,880
council members arrived at City Hall

608
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,919
today but the bookmobile is in and it

609
00:28:28,919 --> 00:28:31,000
parked outside the library today staff

610
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,440
are actively working on um fitting the

611
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,200
bookmobile with its materials and

612
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,600
Technology um we are going to have a

613
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,720
ribbon cutting planned for December 6th

614
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,679
the day of the peppermint walk um and

615
00:28:44,679 --> 00:28:47,760
I'm working with Ryan and Rachel on a

616
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,960
sneak peek before the peppermint walk

617
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,200
for Council um likely at the work

618
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,440
session uh before the peppermint walk

619
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,960
and so I'm assuming then right after

620
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,960
that assuming after that they'll be

621
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,960
equipped ready to go and go throughout

622
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,840
the community as as another resource

623
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,279
correct and we are still finalizing our

624
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:09,240
hold harmless agreements um I don't want

625
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,600
to make any announcements at this time

626
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,200
as to where the stops are but we will be

627
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,399
out and about after the peppermint walk

628
00:29:14,399 --> 00:29:17,950
looking forward to it

629
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,480
thanks Bill a question that I have and

630
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,919
it sort of um just lingers after

631
00:29:22,919 --> 00:29:26,519
construction of the library um over the

632
00:29:26,519 --> 00:29:28,559
last year has there been any

633
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:31,279
residual post construction things that

634
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:33,279
had to be worked through and kind of

635
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:34,919
what's the state of the building is it

636
00:29:34,919 --> 00:29:37,320
now complete steady state and fully

637
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,320
operational or there's still a few

638
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,640
things that are um demanding some

639
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,679
attention the building is complete and

640
00:29:43,679 --> 00:29:46,960
in steady state we do have one lingering

641
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,320
after effect that we have just

642
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,880
recently become aware of um the majority

643
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,360
of the construction of the building and

644
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,519
the first year that we were open

645
00:29:57,519 --> 00:30:00,279
happened during an extreme drought

646
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:03,080
period with a wet spring and a wet fall

647
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,720
we're discovering that there are a

648
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,440
couple of areas where flashing wasn't

649
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,840
properly attached to the roof where the

650
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,320
outdoor Terrace meets the fireplace on

651
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,399
the second floor so we have uh a

652
00:30:14,399 --> 00:30:17,399
contractor engaged with remedying those

653
00:30:17,399 --> 00:30:20,080
um deficiencies other than that um the

654
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,320
building is open and operational okay

655
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,720
good that's kind of predictable stuff I

656
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,519
would think very good thanks

657
00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:30,720
I just want to not what I really like

658
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,120
this I like I like the like the quick

659
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,279
points of the numbers I'm just curious

660
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:39,399
since I look on your um quick sheets and

661
00:30:39,399 --> 00:30:43,480
the when you look at this for example um

662
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Library visitors are those people who

663
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,320
actually had to check something out to

664
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,600
be considered a visitor or how are you

665
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,519
gauging visitors when I see the people

666
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:54,880
like say when we're doing office hours

667
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,039
or I'm there for events see a lot of

668
00:30:56,039 --> 00:30:58,080
people wandering in and out and like

669
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,880
this number doesn't surprise me in fact

670
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,399
I guessed it could have been even higher

671
00:31:03,399 --> 00:31:07,080
so I was just kind of curious how you estimate that number would you

672
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,679
like to answer here go ahead I mean

673
00:31:09,679 --> 00:31:12,559
there there's there's the gate count at

674
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:15,200
the the metal detectors that detect

675
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,559
whether things are being carried out

676
00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:20,159
also detect people that come in there is

677
00:31:20,159 --> 00:31:25,120
okay and so do the is the number for the

678
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,399
program attendees in the visitor's

679
00:31:28,399 --> 00:31:31,399
number or is that in an in addition to

680
00:31:31,399 --> 00:31:33,360
that is included in the visitors number

681
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,760
it is so we're counting those coming in

682
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,440
for different programs yes have you seen

683
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,039
the um we've I know the community rooms

684
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:44,679
on the main floor see a lot of um

685
00:31:44,679 --> 00:31:47,360
activity do the upstairs room get gets

686
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,960
rented as much as those I think about

687
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,440
the business meetings or we've

688
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,480
participated in a few other um visitors

689
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,559
that we've had discussions with but do

690
00:31:56,559 --> 00:31:59,000
we see as much there or it mainly those

691
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000
two main floor rooms so quite honestly I

692
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,679
haven't analyzed um compared the two

693
00:32:04,679 --> 00:32:07,320
rooms together anecdotally I would say

694
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,880
the rooms are being used just about

695
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,480
equally um so we have varying size

696
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,880
parties that utilize the spaces the

697
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,960
overall community room can be split into

698
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,600
two um and the boardroom on the second

699
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,200
floor is a tiny bit smaller than the

700
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,559
half community room so different

701
00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:23,240
utilizations are using the rooms for

702
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,240
different purposes but we have seen good

703
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,799
usage of the boardroom on the second

704
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:30,159
floor wonderful and then just one um

705
00:32:30,159 --> 00:32:32,320
question more budget and it's not as

706
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,080
much reflective but looking

707
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,360
forward are there big changes that are

708
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,960
anticipated in requests or ways you know

709
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,120
we've kind of this kind of like the

710
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,080
first big years of being open and

711
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,120
settling in and learning how to live in

712
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,559
it and you know you start to figure out

713
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:50,559
oh maybe we want this or maybe this

714
00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:53,200
works do you anticipate in the next year

715
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,760
there much shuffling or um big asks or

716
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,440
there's a big deficit we need to like

717
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,320
whether it's Staffing or a gap with

718
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,200
something else that you see coming so

719
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,480
we're actively working on the FY 26

720
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,559
budget planning now with the entire team

721
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:12,440
um in looking at the budget cycle that

722
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,600
we've already been through we've looked

723
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,559
at asset replacement we looked at

724
00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:17,600
Capital Improvement requests the library

725
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,000
has no significant Capital requests um

726
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,159
for the next couple years um there are

727
00:33:25,159 --> 00:33:27,159
minimal assets that need to be replaced

728
00:33:27,159 --> 00:33:28,679
in the library because it's such a brand

729
00:33:28,679 --> 00:33:31,840
new facility so to answer your question

730
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,240
as we are still settling into the

731
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,240
building I do don't see big asks on the

732
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,320
horizon um but again we're still working

733
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,200

think a lot of the success that we saw

791
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,839

792
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:34,440
project and the use um of our Uptown

793
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,599

794
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:41,119

give Council a quick opportunity to

817
00:37:37,359 --> 00:37:40,640
discuss City Council Office hours um you

818
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,040

yourselves available to Residents in a

820
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,839
number of ways um and that includes

821
00:37:45,839 --> 00:37:48,240
weekly office hours um in the summertime

822
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,480
at Toby Park um and then over the winter

823
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,319
months we move into the community center

824
00:37:53,319 --> 00:37:56,520
um the Maran Public Library um just for

825
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,800
scheduling purposes is um wanted to now

826
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,200
that we're at the start of November

827
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,720
wanted to propose um giving you a little

828
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:08,040
break in between each sequence um and

829
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,720
take October off and April off but then

830
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,760
continue that Weekly presence um at both

831
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,040
of those locations throughout the

832
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,560
year are you looking for any direction

833
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,480
on that or just are you just I'm I'm

834
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,760
throwing out a recommendation interested

835
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,800
in your feedback if there's strong

836
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,400
feelings otherwise um from from my

837
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,400
perspective I I think it's fine to have

838
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:38,200
couple breaks like that um um I do

839
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:44,599
appreciate um the council continuing to U support those weekly office

840
00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:46,920
hours I think we get a lot out of them

841
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,040
with the interaction from from residents

842
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,560
and and being able to to even if it's

843
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,240
just one person that shows up it what

844
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:55,760
that says to the community is that we

845
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,160
are there and available and I know that

846
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,800
we're accessible on email and lots of

847
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,040
other ways but that's a

848
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,560
visual U perception that people have

849
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,560
when they see us there they see the

850
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,560
table that says something to the

851
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:16,720
community that we're accessible and the the Goodwill that we earn from that

852
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:18,280
not only in Maran but in the region

853
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,000
whenever I tell people we do office

854
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,319
hours

855
00:39:22,319 --> 00:39:25,200
weekly it's it's a it's invariably the

856
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,359
reaction

857
00:39:26,359 --> 00:39:30,119
is very impressed that that that our

858
00:39:30,119 --> 00:39:33,000
public figures are willing to do that

859
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,800
and take the time um so it earns a lot

860
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,200
of respect and credibility

861
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,079
and um positive uh Goodwill um in the

862
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:47,040
region for for the city as well as just

863
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,640
what we get out of it you know with with

864
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,839
the interaction with our residents so

865
00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:54,200
again I U I know I say this every time

866
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,680
but I do appreciate the council's Comm

867
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,400
to that

868
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:05,079
so anyone else have anything contrary or other ideas or thoughts go

869
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:08,640
ahead Amber I I think I expressed to you

870
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,520
here um in the last couple of months an

871
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,119
idea of having you know two or three of

872
00:40:16,119 --> 00:40:20,079
us there at a designated time in the

873
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:22,640
month make it kind of an event if you

874
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:27,040
will um but you know after looking at

875
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,720
every everything that's on our

876
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:32,440
Horizon um all of the things that we'll

877
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,720
be undertaking in the next calendar year

878
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:36,480
the critical issues that are going to be

879
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,640
before the community um I kind of backed

880
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,680
off of that notion and I think just

881
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,960
having us there as often as we can be

882
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,280
there each and every week throughout the

883
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,640
winter even as the mayor said even if we

884
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,000
only talk to one person that's one

885
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,319
person we would have missed and and so

886
00:40:55,319 --> 00:40:57,560
uh being 5 years old I can change my

887
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,680
mind and uh I I just wanted to share

888
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,000
that that I've had a change of

889
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,800
perspective on that but it's really

890
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,480
given from the standpoint of um being U

891
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,240
postured to be responsive to the

892
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:12,800
inquiries of our community

893
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,520
so go ahead cage yeah I Echo everything

894
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,599
that mayor and uh council member Harper

895
00:41:17,599 --> 00:41:19,560
said the the only thing I would add that

896
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,200
I think is like a really important

897
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,839
interaction from my time doing this now

898
00:41:23,839 --> 00:41:28,640
is if people have an issue or a question

899
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:29,960
and they're really set on finding us

900
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,839
they're able to do that at any time um

901
00:41:31,839 --> 00:41:33,920
email phone call but the people that we

902
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,280
catch at these that I think's really

903
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,640
important are the people walking by at

904
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,880
the farmers market or coming to library

905
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,119
and you can see it on their face where

906
00:41:40,119 --> 00:41:41,880
they're like like they have a question

907
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,160
all of a sudden that pops in their head

908
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,480
but they're not there to see us

909
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,839
necessarily but then they come back and

910
00:41:45,839 --> 00:41:47,480
they actually do ask that question that

911
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,560
they might not have asked in any other

912
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,839
they would have maybe gone the extra

913
00:41:51,839 --> 00:41:54,760
effort to to send along email or a phone

914
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,520
call so I'm totally fine with the the

915
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,760
couple months off and and I'm glad I'm

916
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,760
just also saying that I'm glad that we

917
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,680
do this and I wish more City councils

918
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,200
around Iowa and around the region did

919
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,359
this as well because I think it's a

920
00:42:06,359 --> 00:42:10,400
really important tool and from a selfish

921
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,240
perspective uh whenever I'm there with

922
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:15,480
another council member it's kind of fun

923
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,000
to just have that time to interact and

924
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,400
socialize with with with each other and

925
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,920
you know just talk just you know talk

926
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,640
about whatever with each other so it's a

927
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,319
that that time also is is time well

928
00:42:28,319 --> 00:42:30,640
spent and and worthwhile

929
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,880
so go ahead no I and I agree I do like

930
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,680
taking those two off I just because I

931
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,119
enjoy the times there but I think like

932
00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:40,200
in the summer especially even if it's

933
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,520
October even is the one off only because

934
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,480
it's not like it's just one office hour

935
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,960
at T park because sometimes there's I'm

936
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,200
at La Park every Saturday in the summer

937
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,520
um one of my colleagues is at tby park

938
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,160
one of my colleagues might be at the

939
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,240
market um at the same time so some of

940
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:58,880
them there's three or four of us at

941
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,359
different locations on the same Saturday

942
00:43:01,359 --> 00:43:03,480
um and so I think sometimes when we get

943
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,000
to October it's okay to take a little

944
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,359
bit of a break but I do appreciate um I

945
00:43:09,359 --> 00:43:11,119
really appreciate our time at the

946
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:14,079
library I agree with Gage I think we get

947
00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:15,359
a lot of conversations with people who

948
00:43:15,359 --> 00:43:16,599
aren't don't want to pick up the phone

949
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:18,119
and talk but when they see you there

950
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:20,880
they just ask that random question um

951
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,880
that they don't feel comfortable calling

952
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,680
in about so um I value them so I'm glad

953
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,680
we're continuing them and

954
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,280
think I've done my signups for few of

955
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,319
the months coming up here um not as far

956
00:43:32,319 --> 00:43:34,119
out so thank you for setting all of that

957
00:43:34,119 --> 00:43:35,280
up and making sure there's always

958
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:36,800
materials there and it's always the

959
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,240
goodie bag to open up and figure out

960
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:40,800
what Amber has supplied to be um the

961
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,920
giveaways of the Saturday so and no

962
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:50,190
suckers anymore at the library right

963
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,319
Bill anyone

964
00:43:53,319 --> 00:43:57,160
else oh go ahead i' like to Echo like

965
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,839
when you said that it was nice when

966
00:43:59,839 --> 00:44:02,680
there's multiple of us at one

967
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,559
location and we've been doing this a

968
00:44:04,559 --> 00:44:07,160
long time now and that used to be very

969
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,599
common that there was always two of us

970
00:44:09,599 --> 00:44:11,960
at the library every Saturday morning

971
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,520
and I don't know if it's is it still set

972
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,400
up where we can two people can sign up

973
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,920
for the same time or is it only one I

974
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,359
think I've limited it to one just that's

975
00:44:20,359 --> 00:44:24,319
who I ordinate the the tote with um when

976
00:44:24,319 --> 00:44:26,520
there's a pickup but now with the

977
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,000
library I could certainly add a second

978
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,079
one if you'd

979
00:44:29,079 --> 00:44:31,359
like just a thought I don't know if we

980
00:44:31,359 --> 00:44:33,040
need it on there if just people just

981
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,640
show up sometimes we had three people

982
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,400
you know sometimes there would be four

983
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,040
I'm like oh one of us got to leave so

984
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,559
yeah that happened a few times back in

985
00:44:41,559 --> 00:44:44,359
the day anyway that's all thanks for all

986

994
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,640
evening so this is our first touch point

995
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,040
with the CIP for uh fiscal year in in

996
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,640
the fiscal year 26 budget process so

997
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,240
this does a So the plan does cover the

998
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:24,119
fiscal years from 26 through fiscal year

999
00:45:24,119 --> 00:45:27,520
2030 the process should look familiar to

1000
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,920
what we did last year we'll present the

1001
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,880
recommendations you'll see our color

1002
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,720
coded list um that was in the

1003
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:38,950
pocket

1004
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,559
so this is just a little update of what

1005
00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:45,280
the a refresher of what this what the

1006
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,000
capital Improvement program

1007
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,599
is so our timeline here this is just the

1008
00:45:51,599 --> 00:45:57,319
CIP timeline in the budget process um

1009
00:45:57,319 --> 00:45:58,720
I just want to stress that there's no

1010
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:01,400
decisions that needs to be made tonight

1011
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,400
um we'll be presenting the staff

1012
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,400
recommendation here at this meeting and

1013
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,480
then you'll have six weeks to dig in

1014
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,640
digest the information and then we'll

1015
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,319
come back with a discussion on December

1016
00:46:14,319 --> 00:46:17,520
17th so then Finance in conjunction with

1017
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,880
the city manager's office and our elt

1018
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,720
will formulate the draft plan where and then we'll also work with da

1019
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:27,000
devidson on our modeling and then also C

1020
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,359
we have another uh opportunity at the

1021
00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:32,400
budget work session in January uh to

1022
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,200
weigh in again before uh formal adoption

1023
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:43,109
in the March April timeline of

1024
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:47,280
2025 so just some key points here

1025
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,760
um the thing that I wanted to highlight

1026
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,119
was um you'll see the staff

1027
00:46:52,119 --> 00:46:54,160
recommendations on the next slide

1028
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,000
regarding capacity if council did have a

1029
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,040
recommendation for a project that they

1030
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,280
would like to see

1031
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,359
funded um then obviously bring that up

1032
00:47:03,359 --> 00:47:07,119
at the December 17th discussion finan

1033
00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:09,400
would analyze the funding and and and

1034
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,119
the timing of the project and we would

1035
00:47:11,119 --> 00:47:14,359
try to um slot that in so an example of

1036
00:47:14,359 --> 00:47:17,160
that was we got the feedback last year

1037
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,359
about the Irish drive and and tter road

1038
00:47:20,359 --> 00:47:23,240
traffic signal Activation so we took

1039
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:25,800
that we came back we slotted it in you

1040
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,680
guys um also said then hey let's move it

1041
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,200
up and so we came back to the budget

1042
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,960
work session accordingly so that's so

1043
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:34,559
that's an example of how that process

1044
00:47:34,559 --> 00:47:38,510
would

1045
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,720
work so your draft CIP document um that

1046
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:45,800
was in the pocket these are the projects

1047
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,480
that staff um is recommending to add to

1048
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,680
the active CIP

1049
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,640
projects and these are highlighted in

1050
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,680
yellow on your drop

1051
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,520
document sorry green you're right I'm

1052
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:01,880
looking at

1053
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,160
actually my color coding on the

1054
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,000
prioritized list they're in green and I

1055
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,599
put them yellow to just confuse

1056
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:10,720
everybody on your draft document I

1057
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:12,119
should have highlight them green to be

1058
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:14,040
consistent with the colors they're

1059
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,040
actually yellow there but I'll change

1060
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,720
that to Green so

1061
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:22,599
um just to confuse everybody so I wanted

1062
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:25,800
to pause here um in case you have any

1063
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,599
initial questions

1064
00:48:27,599 --> 00:48:31,240
about these recommendations um I will go

1065
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:33,200
just show you the next slide so we did

1066
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,319
put our Council hot on like we did last

1067
00:48:35,319 --> 00:48:39,119
year and looked at um okay what uh

1068
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:41,520
projects which staff maybe recommend for

1069
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,400
consideration stuff that's been brought

1070
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,720
up in the past maybe um so we did

1071
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,720
compile ADV this list for your

1072
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:50,400
consideration and then there is the

1073
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,960
unfunded list that you'll see in Gray on

1074
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,839
your prioritized list in your pocket

1075
00:48:54,839 --> 00:48:57,760
that stop is not recommended for fun in

1076
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,960
at this time so I don't know if you want

1077
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,160
to pause for initial questions around

1078
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,200
any of the projects or the process um I

1079
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,000
don't know if Ryan you want to say

1080
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,760
anything at this stage and uh staff

1081
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,920
members are obviously here to answer any

1082
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,760
initial questions but you do have that

1083
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,359
six weeks and we're always open for

1084
00:49:17,359 --> 00:49:19,440
questions between now and then also so

1085
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:20,799
yeah let's see if anyone has any

1086
00:49:20,799 --> 00:49:23,520
questions before we move on any any

1087
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,920
questions anything in particular

1088
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,680
okay thank you yeah so so that's all I

1089
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,160
had it's really presenting this

1090
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,400
information tonight I thought there was

1091
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,960
more sorry no it's good so making sure

1092
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,839
that everybody understands the process

1093
00:49:39,839 --> 00:49:41,359
we just wanted to make sure that you

1094
00:49:41,359 --> 00:49:43,920
have multiple touch points um that you

1095
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:48,000
have ample time to weigh in um on on the

1096
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,359
CIP for this year

1097
00:49:50,359 --> 00:49:52,720
so that's all I had right now and

1098
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:55,200
looking forward to a discussion on

1099
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,200
December 17th and

1100
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,960
yep we've got a couple

1101
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,119
questions um more more of a comment I

1102
00:50:02,119 --> 00:50:04,520
just want to recognize and and thank

1103
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,520
everybody involved in this process um I

1104
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,920
think a lot of residents don't and other

1105
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,880
folks around the state don't recognize

1106
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,599
the budgeting process and how much it

1107
00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:15,920
has changed here and the standard that

1108
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,839
it sets now for other communities in my

1109
00:50:17,839 --> 00:50:19,599
opinion around the state of Iowa so

1110
00:50:19,599 --> 00:50:21,839
thank you to to you guys and and your

1111
00:50:21,839 --> 00:50:26,839
team and all the department uh heads for coming together and being a part of

1112
00:50:26,839 --> 00:50:28,599
really important process but I would

1113
00:50:28,599 --> 00:50:30,799
also just invite residents listening and

1114
00:50:30,799 --> 00:50:33,200
I'll continue when over coming weeks

1115
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,319
when residents or other folks ask me

1116
00:50:35,319 --> 00:50:37,079
what's the what's going on in Maran

1117
00:50:37,079 --> 00:50:38,400
right now and my answer should be like

1118
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,000
what's not going on in Maran right now

1119
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,640
but now I'll be like the CIP like this

1120
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,319
is I invite residents really take a look

1121
00:50:44,319 --> 00:50:46,559
at at this this packet I know it's

1122
00:50:46,559 --> 00:50:48,440
hundreds of pages but it's actually it's

1123
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,000
really well done it's you can skim it

1124
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,559
you can go as deep as you want to but

1125
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:54,040
these are the projects that really

1126
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,040
impact your neighborhoods from streets

1127
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,359
to to sewers to your Parks like these

1128
00:50:58,359 --> 00:51:00,680
are the things that you actually visibly

1129
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,720
see so if you if you look at take a look

1130
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:04,680
at this list over the coming weeks and

1131
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,400
you have opinions about it you know

1132
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,400
reach out to to council ask questions to

1133
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,040
the city departments um because these

1134
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:17,599
are really important decisions that the council and the city make um and and

1135
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:19,040
I'm just a personal believer that that

1136
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,880
residents should be more knowledgeable

1137
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,040
of of this process and and get involved

1138
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,680
if they want

1139
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,760
to excellent point

1140
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,440
yeah I I do have a a question about one

1141
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,040
project and I failed to highlight it

1142
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,440
here in my electronic copy um the work

1143
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,960
that was done on 31st

1144
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,440
Street uh evaluating the placement of a

1145
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,280
sidewalk um for the current

1146
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,799
representation I don't see that listed

1147
00:51:50,799 --> 00:51:53,160
is or am I is that in a different

1148
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,200
category yeah so that's not part of the

1149
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,799
added CIP so these are projects that are

1150
00:51:57,799 --> 00:51:59,400
not currently in the CIP that we're

1151
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,760
recommending be added to the CIP okay so

1152
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,599
there's there's an additional set that

1153
00:52:05,599 --> 00:52:06,880
augments

1154
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,680
this this

1155
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,200
representation yep so so that's in the

1156
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,559
actual octave CIP right now so you just

1157
00:52:13,559 --> 00:52:16,720
see it in the draft document okay um

1158
00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:19,480
because it's an acave

1159
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,920
project and so I guess here's just one

1160
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,680
question relative to the process so what

1161
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,200
is present in our packet

1162
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,839
today is stable for our consideration up

1163
00:52:32,839 --> 00:52:35,200
to and through this our December

1164
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,559
discussion or are there other changes

1165
00:52:37,559 --> 00:52:41,520
that will be made based on staff

1166
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,520
re-evaluation um the only thing that

1167
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,000
might change for example uh you'll see

1168
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,240
in your pocket there's a a draper park

1169
00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:49,640
there there might be a couple of change

1170
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,960
orders for OCTA projects so that's the

1171
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,880
only thing that would really change

1172
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,520
nothing on this list will should change

1173
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,160
between December

1174
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,119
um okay all right but I will highlight

1175
00:53:02,119 --> 00:53:04,640
anything that changes between now and

1176
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,760
then on the on the octus CIP so it's

1177
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,640
very clear all right thank

1178
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,160
you anything

1179
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,559
else I just have to say once again this

1180
00:53:16,559 --> 00:53:20,160
entire process has been so elevated and

1181
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:25,079
um we're we're um L years ahead of where

1182
00:53:25,079 --> 00:53:27,760
we were um

1183
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,880
you know a decade ago and um just want

1184
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,960
to commend everyone the whole team for um this more this methodical

1185
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:40,040
thoughtful way of uh

1186
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,880
um taking care of our business and um

1187
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,640
the manner in which it's presented to us

1188
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,720
so that we can it's in consumable uh

1189
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:50,920
segments so that we can understand it

1190
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,640
and uh um I just feel like we all know

1191
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,720
where we're going a lot more clearly ear

1192
00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:00,119
than we used to so thank you so much

1193
00:54:00,119 --> 00:54:06,470
okay

1194
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:15,990
yeah all right Mr Cooper are you

1195
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,319
ready good evening mayor and Council I'm

1196
00:54:18,319 --> 00:54:20,000
Steve Cooper Mar and storm water

1197
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,960
coordinator I'm going to give you a

1198
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,799
update on our storm water master plan

1199
00:54:23,799 --> 00:54:25,760
which we just picked off recently a

1200
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:27,319
couple weeks ago

1201
00:54:27,319 --> 00:54:29,680
so what is a storm water master plan

1202
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:30,839
it's pretty much what it sounds like

1203
00:54:30,839 --> 00:54:32,520
it's a comprehensive plan for what

1204
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,559
happens when it rains where when we get

1205
00:54:35,559 --> 00:54:39,119
rain like we did today where are our

1206
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:40,760
trouble spots where's the rain going to

1207
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,680
go where we don't have enough storm

1208
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,760
sewers or infrastructure where is our

1209
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,040
infrastructure not doing what it's

1210
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,880
supposed to be doing where do we not

1211
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,920
have infrastructure where we should have

1212
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,160
infrastructure what might it cost to get

1213
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,359
all that stuff to to to do what it's

1214
00:54:54,359 --> 00:54:56,119
supposed to do so that's what a stormw

1215
00:54:56,119 --> 00:54:58,000
water master plan is it's similar to the

1216
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,119
recently completed sanitary master plan

1217
00:55:00,119 --> 00:55:02,400
that we did that's the sanitary master

1218
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,119
plan is for the dirty water the sewage

1219
00:55:04,119 --> 00:55:05,680
water this is for the rainwater that

1220
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,440
falls out of the sky HDR is the selected

1221
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,559
consultant for this along with Anderson

1222
00:55:10,559 --> 00:55:13,000
bogert HDR was also the company that we

1223
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,720
went with for the sanitary master plan

1224
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:16,319
so they know our city pretty

1225
00:55:16,319 --> 00:55:19,200
well so the timeline and schedule here

1226
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,480
is uh there's task 100 which is project

1227
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:23,960
management that's pretty much ongoing

1228
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,520
throughout the whole project we are

1229
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,480
currently in task 200 Public Outreach uh

1230
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,760
there's going to be a detention Basin

1231
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,200
maintenance assessment to see all of our

1232
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,280
detention Bas are our post construction

1233
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,720
storm waterer best management practices

1234
00:55:37,720 --> 00:55:39,440
where are the ones that aren't doing

1235
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,280
their job very well and what might we

1236
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:42,880
need to do to make those a little bit

1237
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,200
better what might that cost to get that

1238
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,520
up to speed we're also in TK 400

1239
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:49,799
hydraulic modeling I'm going to show

1240
00:55:49,799 --> 00:55:51,000
some pictures of that in a couple of

1241
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:56,520
slides here uh future project or future tasks are capital Improvement

1242
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,200
programs and uh the what do we have to

1243
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:00,920
do where do we have to do it what do we

1244
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,960
have to do and potentially what it's

1245
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,680
going to cost there's going to be an

1246
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,119
operations and maintenance plan for

1247
00:56:06,119 --> 00:56:07,880
public works so that we know where the

1248
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,280
trouble spots are where do we need to

1249
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,200
send Crews at at different times to make

1250
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,280
sure that things are working the way

1251
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,480
they're supposed to we are going to have

1252
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,920
a storm water utility rate study da

1253
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,039
Davidson will get involved so that all

1254
00:56:19,039 --> 00:56:21,200
of the information what are the costs

1255
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,440
for this how do we generate Revenue to

1256
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:25,839
make sure that we've got enough money to

1257
00:56:25,839 --> 00:56:28,960
pay for we need to do and then finally

1258
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,000
we'll have the reporting for the whole

1259
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,039
thing the current tasks are public

1260
00:56:34,039 --> 00:56:35,319
education and Outreach we're going to

1261
00:56:35,319 --> 00:56:37,160
have three workshops we're still trying

1262
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,200
to figure out if we're going to have

1263
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,319
workshops in person maybe online we got

1264
00:56:41,319 --> 00:56:42,720
to figure that out which how we're going

1265
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:44,319
to do those there's going to be an

1266
00:56:44,319 --> 00:56:46,359
online interactive geographic

1267
00:56:46,359 --> 00:56:48,880
information map that the public or

1268
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,799
anybody can log into they can put a dot

1269
00:56:50,799 --> 00:56:53,079
on a map and say Here's where I am and

1270
00:56:53,079 --> 00:56:54,680
here's what I want you to know about the

1271
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,440
storm water in my neighborhood or what

1272
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:57,880
are the flooding or the water problems

1273
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,280
that we have in this area uh we're going

1274
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:01,760
to be gathering input from everybody

1275
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,720
from City staff from city council you

1276
00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:05,760
all get constit your constituents call

1277
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,119
you to complain or contact you to

1278
00:57:07,119 --> 00:57:09,319
complain about storm water so you have

1279
00:57:09,319 --> 00:57:10,880
information you have knowledge that

1280
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,920
needs to be included in this plan we're

1281
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,440
going to be reaching out to get

1282
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,440
information from the public from City

1283
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,839
staff from you from Medco Whoever has

1284
00:57:18,839 --> 00:57:20,599
information we're going to gather that

1285
00:57:20,599 --> 00:57:23,200
in the coming months the task 400 of

1286
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,680
hydraulic modeling that's a very

1287
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,200
technical thing that that HDR will be

1288
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,880
doing we've provided them with our

1289
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,240
geographic information systems data all

1290
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,680
kinds of other technical data so that

1291
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:33,960
they can put that into what's called a

1292
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,920
2d rain on grid model uh and and tell us

1293
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,720
where our trouble spots are so that we

1294
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,760
can see where the the water goes when it

1295
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,039
rains and this is these are some

1296
00:57:44,039 --> 00:57:46,599
preliminary maps of what it looks like

1297
00:57:46,599 --> 00:57:49,160
so the darker blue is where we've got

1298
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,880
bigger problems the lighter blue is

1299
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,160
where we've got water that might not be

1300
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,720
as much of a problem and then if there's

1301
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,520
you know obviously the other spots don't

1302
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,160
even really get the water so this is

1303
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:01,599
kind of part of what is going to be in

1304
00:58:01,599 --> 00:58:03,440
the report again it's we just kicked

1305
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,000
this off a couple months ago we are in

1306
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,119
the very beginning stages of it and I

1307
00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:08,319
wanted to give you guys an update and

1308
00:58:08,319 --> 00:58:10,599
let you know this is what we're doing

1309
00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:12,960
and uh I'm kind of excited to to see

1310
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,039
where it goes from here so from there do

1311
00:58:16,039 --> 00:58:17,319
you have any questions do you have any

1312
00:58:17,319 --> 00:58:18,640
thoughts do you have any input anything

1313
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,039
you want to say to us about what

1314
00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:23,000
happened today with El

1315
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:28,720
ring we appreciate the checkin and and the progress report so

1316
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,319
but Steve does does the

1317
00:58:32,319 --> 00:58:36,760
modeling um incorporate any predictive

1318
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,920
information from Noah to maybe say

1319
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,880
regionally what we expect from seasonal

1320
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,160
changes and rainfall it seems to me and

1321
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,160
of course over the last six months we've

1322
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:50,839
been very dry and then all of a sudden

1323
00:58:50,839 --> 00:58:52,640
we end up with a couple of days of

1324
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,400
three-inch rains and I so I'm just

1325
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,920
wondering is there anything that Noah

1326
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,760
creates datawise that we can then input

1327
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,720
into our uh hydrologic model to say if

1328
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,960
that happens that's what it means to our

1329
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,119
community just not that it's actionable

1330
00:59:11,119 --> 00:59:13,640
but it's in our mind of a condition that

1331
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,280
we may need to need to need to face in

1332
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,200
the future climate is always a challenge

1333
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,079
because like you said we had a very wet

1334
00:59:21,079 --> 00:59:23,039
spring had a very dry summer and now

1335
00:59:23,039 --> 00:59:25,839
we're kind of back up with the rain so

1336
00:59:25,839 --> 00:59:27,359
uh trying to keep up with that is always

1337
00:59:27,359 --> 00:59:30,640
a challenge Noah and uh USGS all of

1338
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,480
those different organizations that kind

1339
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:37,160
of keep up with that uh yes that's it's definitely a

1340
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,440
consideration um all of the modeling

1341
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,599
like uh the new FEMA maps that we just

1342
00:59:42,599 --> 00:59:45,400
got were taking into consideration that

1343
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,319
we are getting more precipitation there

1344
00:59:47,319 --> 00:59:49,880
is more water coming out of the sky so

1345
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,920
yes it is being it it's it's part of it

1346
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,839
uh it is not going to be a major Focus

1347
00:59:54,839 --> 00:59:56,960
but yes take that into consideration all

1348
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,760
right thanks G yeah this this might be a

1349
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,039
silly question maybe I should already

1350
01:00:02,039 --> 01:00:04,520
know the answer to this but when was the

1351
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,079
last time a master plan process like

1352
01:00:07,079 --> 01:00:09,640
this was done in we have not done we've

1353
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:15,880
done some many Watershed plans we have the Indian Creek Watershed

1354
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,880
Management Authority that looked at more

1355
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,520
of a kind of administrative planning

1356
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,240
document that wasn't very technical like

1357
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,000
this one's going to be there was a

1358
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,000
technical um storm water plan that was

1359
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,200
done for part of Maran in 1987 there was

1360
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:31,920
the Willow Creek one that was done a

1361
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,720
couple years ago we have not done one

1362
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,640
for the entire city that's great then I

1363
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,200
had no clue that this was the first ever

1364
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,599
so that's amazing Steve yeah the number

1365
01:00:42,599 --> 01:00:44,280
of Master plans that this city has

1366
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,359
undertaken in the last handful of years

1367
01:00:47,359 --> 01:00:49,920
has got to be very rewarding for our

1368
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,400
citizens simply because they ought to be

1369
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:54,760
very comfortable or much more

1370
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,680
comfortable that the city is managing

1371
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,760
these issues and not letting the issues

1372
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:04,000
manage them but relative to uh the

1373
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,119
public Outreach is the timing of those

1374
01:01:07,119 --> 01:01:09,480
public meetings going to be such that

1375
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,000
those can be communicated in our next

1376
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,559
Maran messenger because I know there's I

1377
01:01:14,559 --> 01:01:16,640
mean I get calls

1378
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:20,799
periodically regarding this issue and uh

1379
01:01:20,799 --> 01:01:22,280
so I know there's some people throughout

1380
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,280
the community very anxious to be able to

1381
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,640
uh sit sit down and at least see what's

1382
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,039
going on and communicate their concerns

1383
01:01:30,039 --> 01:01:32,400
so uh is the timing of that going to

1384
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,640
work out yes we we will involve Amber

1385
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,359
okay in in this to make sure that when

1386
01:01:37,359 --> 01:01:39,240
we have these planned that there will be

1387
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,559
press releases it won't just be

1388
01:01:41,559 --> 01:01:43,359
hopefully we'll time out well with the

1389
01:01:43,359 --> 01:01:45,039
Maran messenger that's what I was hoping

1390
01:01:45,039 --> 01:01:48,240
for uh we've got lots of other ways to

1391
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,400
get the word out as well okay all right

1392
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,319
great thanks Steve anyone

uh couple meetings ago Mark sekman with

1401
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:25,319
Medco Mark's here um presented the uh

1402
01:02:25,319 --> 01:02:27,359
capital campaign that Medco is going

1403
01:02:27,359 --> 01:02:30,079
through and the official request of the

1404
01:02:30,079 --> 01:02:33,880
city um as the the the lead investor in

1405
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:38,279
Medco uh to consider uh a new level um

1406
01:02:38,279 --> 01:02:40,920
the resolution that would be before uh

1407
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,799
Council on Thursday amends our uh

1408
01:02:43,799 --> 01:02:45,279
Professional Services agreement with

1409
01:02:45,279 --> 01:02:48,520
Medco to reflect that new amount in

1410
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,640
addition um to that amount we've also

1411
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,960
incorporated into the the um the

1412
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,079
agreement the different benchmarks that

1413
01:02:57,079 --> 01:02:59,839
Mark has put together uh with the uh

1414
01:02:59,839 --> 01:03:03,079
Capital campaign so those are some those

1415
01:03:03,079 --> 01:03:05,079
are things that uh our economic

1416
01:03:05,079 --> 01:03:07,480
development team does review on a very

1417
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,559
regular basis uh with our partners at

1418
01:03:09,559 --> 01:03:12,839
the chamber and Medco um Mark's here if

1419
01:03:12,839 --> 01:03:14,319
you have any questions and we can

1420
01:03:14,319 --> 01:03:16,680
certainly ask any questions but they're

1421
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,520
doing great work and we appreciate them

1422
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,400
agreed um

1423
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:27,710
any questions for Ryan or mark on that

1424
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,559
okay thanks

1425
01:03:29,559 --> 01:03:31,799
Mark the next item that's marked for

1426
01:03:31,799 --> 01:03:36,670
discussion is uh

1427
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:41,839
D9 on yeah Pages aren't marked but

1428
01:03:41,839 --> 01:03:49,349
D9 um any item prior to

1429
01:03:49,359 --> 01:03:52,359
D9 okay we'll go with D9 Mr

1430
01:03:52,359 --> 01:03:54,599
Baro yeah so this is a contract

1431
01:03:54,599 --> 01:03:56,640
Amendment with Schneider and Associates

1432
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,359
so with the $7 million that we got as

1433
01:03:59,359 --> 01:04:02,400
cpf funding it took it from a local

1434
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,160
project to a federal project so there's

1435
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:05,680
more Hoops that we have to jump through

1436
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,760
more processes and so that's what this

1437
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,119
extra money is for um being election day

1438
01:04:11,119 --> 01:04:12,599
we just want to call out no one in

1439
01:04:12,599 --> 01:04:14,480
particular but we do want to thank our

1440
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,240
partners at the federal level that are

1441
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,839
helping us navigate through that system

1442
01:04:18,839 --> 01:04:21,559
of going again from a local let project

1443
01:04:21,559 --> 01:04:24,880
to now a federally uh project and so

1444
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,799
that just adds more complexity to it

1445
01:04:26,799 --> 01:04:28,200
there's additional steps additional

1446
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,200
review that has to occur with that um so

1447
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,200
we just want to thank them for uh

1448
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,440
partnering with us to help us move this

1449
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:36,520
project

1450
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:41,950
forward what's the timeline

1451
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,440
extension the timeline extension is just

1452
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,880
because it obviously when it was going

1453
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,160
to be let with our funds only that takes

1454
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,440
a much shorter time frame when you start

1455
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,839
adding NEPA and different Federal

1456
01:04:54,839 --> 01:04:57,359
requirements that take more ends the

1457
01:04:57,359 --> 01:04:58,599
timeline

1458
01:04:58,599 --> 01:05:04,309
y okay any any questions for

1459
01:05:04,319 --> 01:05:07,720
Mike and so the the additional

1460
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:12,359
222,00 is that is that budgeted

1461
01:05:12,359 --> 01:05:16,920
or so that it is in the um it wasn't

1462
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:18,480
originally planned for but when we got

1463
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,880
$7 million in order for us to adjust to

1464
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,480
be able to do that we have to move some

1465
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:27,829
money around to make it happen

1466
01:05:27,839 --> 01:05:32,990
okay any

1467
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,839
questions all right you have the next

1468
01:05:34,839 --> 01:05:39,279
item which is d11 Mike yep so this was a

1469
01:05:39,279 --> 01:05:42,640
grant that we put in for so uh

1470
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,599
76340 was the max amount based on our

1471
01:05:45,599 --> 01:05:47,960
population um to the

1472
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:53,279
ecbg um and so we did apply for that uh

1473
01:05:53,279 --> 01:05:54,760
and basically what we're going to do is

1474
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,799
all of our black fancy poles that have

1475
01:05:56,799 --> 01:05:58,799
our banners on them we're going to go in

1476
01:05:58,799 --> 01:06:00,559
there and change out the high press

1477
01:06:00,559 --> 01:06:03,799
sodium lights to LED lights so not only

1478
01:06:03,799 --> 01:06:05,400
is it being more efficient but we're

1479
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,440
also using less electricity we changed

1480
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,240
the bulbs less often so we're not up

1481
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:14,000
there as often um but as part of that

1482
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,559
Grant process we have to have an

1483
01:06:16,559 --> 01:06:19,599
official City policy so this is adopting

1484
01:06:19,599 --> 01:06:22,119
said policy that's saying that as we

1485
01:06:22,119 --> 01:06:24,319
move forward we're going to use LED

1486
01:06:24,319 --> 01:06:26,599
lights on our black fancy poles instead

1487
01:06:26,599 --> 01:06:28,599
of High Press sodium which we've already

1488
01:06:28,599 --> 01:06:31,799
changed in pseudos so it's just checking

1489
01:06:31,799 --> 01:06:33,640
another box that's required in order to

1490
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:35,680
get the

1491
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,920
$76,000 and how I mean is it very likely

1492
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:41,559
once if we adopt this policy that we're

1493
01:06:41,559 --> 01:06:43,119
going to get the grant or is there so

1494
01:06:43,119 --> 01:06:45,000
the grant has been applied for right now

1495
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,920
it is in their hands waiting for us to

1496
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:52,240
know if we get the money or not I see so

1497
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:53,720
the the end of the month was the

1498
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,559
deadline so we met that currently in

1499
01:06:56,559 --> 01:07:00,680
holding pattern waiting okay all

1500
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,559
right

1501
01:07:03,559 --> 01:07:07,039
questions thanks Mike the next item is

1502
01:07:07,039 --> 01:07:09,680
under the regular agenda A2 any item

1503
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:16,829
prior to

1504
01:07:16,839 --> 01:07:19,920
A2 hey Dave I'll go ahead and kick this

1505
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,799
one off um this is the on Thursday there

1506
01:07:22,799 --> 01:07:23,920
be a public hearing on a development

1507
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,559
agreement for uh Department Methodist

1508
01:07:26,559 --> 01:07:29,079
Church project the bell tower Lofts uh

1509
01:07:29,079 --> 01:07:31,720
as we all know 55 residential units uh

1510
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,559
total project cost is 10 million um

1511
01:07:34,559 --> 01:07:35,920
through the development agreement we

1512
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,920
will be doing um they they made the ask

1513
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,480
for City assistance uh it'll be done in

1514
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,720
two phases there'll be a tax incurrent

1515
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:47,359
financing Tiff 10 year of 100% um and

1516
01:07:47,359 --> 01:07:49,520
then that'll be F that well that'll

1517
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,599
follow the initial rebate of a 10year

1518
01:07:51,599 --> 01:07:58,279
100% as well uh the Tiff rebate will not exceed 475,000

1519
01:07:58,279 --> 01:08:02,839
and the um Urban rization abatement will

1520
01:08:02,839 --> 01:08:05,440
not exceed 290 or sorry be estimated at

1521
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:09,400
290,000 so you're looking at around 760

1522
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,160
uh estimated total incentive on the

1523
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,480
project in addition to the parking

1524
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,359
agreement there there's a parking

1525
01:08:15,359 --> 01:08:17,520
element to the uh development agreement

1526
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,719
as you know we have 26 onsite spots to

1527
01:08:20,719 --> 01:08:23,679
the east of the classroom Wing uh they

1528
01:08:23,679 --> 01:08:26,120
have a secured another 13

1529
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:30,319
uh leas on the Farmer State Bank side of

1530
01:08:30,319 --> 01:08:33,560
the U uh kind of east of the Farmer

1531
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,000
State Bank there's that little parking

1532
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,159
lot so they've secured 13 additional

1533
01:08:37,159 --> 01:08:40,040
Lots there or spots there uh working

1534
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,120
with Daryl High what are those

1535
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:43,719
agreements what does that parking lease

1536
01:08:43,719 --> 01:08:46,319
look like for the individual tenants um

1537
01:08:46,319 --> 01:08:49,279
working through that to avoid like a a

1538
01:08:49,279 --> 01:08:52,000
boat storage or trailer RV storage

1539
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:56,000
eating up that spot uh for tenants um

1540
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:57,880
assigning those spots not necessarily to

1541
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,319
individual units on that accessory lot

1542
01:09:01,319 --> 01:09:04,000
but reserving them for tenants on the

1543
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,279
rear of the site again trying to keep

1544
01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:08,239
some of that more long-term or

1545
01:09:08,239 --> 01:09:09,520
short-term parking pushed a little

1546
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,560
further back from the uh from the street

1547
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:12,679
so the residents don't have to be

1548
01:09:12,679 --> 01:09:14,600
affected and then obviously just keeping

1549
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:16,960
the residents informed of the progress

1550
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,600
of the project not just parking but the

1551
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,560
entire development so that's been built

1552
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,480
into that uh development agreement as

1553
01:09:22,480 --> 01:09:25,560
well and then always looking to

1554
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,640
additional parking leases uh encouraging

1555
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,279
that throughout the course of well just

1556
01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:33,480
a buildout and obviously well into the

1557
01:09:33,480 --> 01:09:37,189
uh future use of the

1558
01:09:37,199 --> 01:09:40,440
building okay I will um turn over the

1559
01:09:40,440 --> 01:09:42,759
meeting to the mayor proem to handle any

1560
01:09:42,759 --> 01:09:45,359
discussion on

1561
01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:51,239
this questions Steve yeah Dave um I'm

1562
01:09:51,239 --> 01:09:53,400
glad to see the the parking requirement

1563
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,560
in there and I if I as I looked at at

1564
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:59,320
the verbi of that talking about a

1565
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:03,880
70% space requirement for the 70 70 or

1566
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:08,000
70% of the 55 units as you look at that

1567
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,600
on an ongoing basis they've got 26 on

1568
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:11,800
site which means they're always going to

1569
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:13,560
be looking for at least

1570
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,840
13 how do you envision that happening

1571
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,600
and and what kind

1572
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:22,120
of enforcement if I could use that word

1573
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:23,480
would be in

1574
01:10:23,480 --> 01:10:26,679
place at such time say Farmer State Bank

1575
01:10:26,679 --> 01:10:30,080
decides to uh terminate their lease for

1576
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,800
the 13 spots and we've got this clause

1577
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,480
in there saying they're required to have

1578
01:10:35,480 --> 01:10:39,640
70% so how do you envision the city uh

1579
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,360
enforcing that section of the agreement

1580
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,640
yeah I think as I read it it was more of

1581
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,600
the developer will always actively

1582
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,280
seeking to achieve that percentage I

1583
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,280
don't know if it was necessarily A Hard

1584
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,880
requirement to be at that 70% parked I

1585
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:54,880
think it was always to be actively

1586
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:56,640
pursued doing it I think it's a matter

1587
01:10:56,640 --> 01:11:00,480
of as if they lose the FSB lease is

1588
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:02,040
working with the developer to again

1589
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,600
identifying potential private locations

1590
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,440
or maybe new public locations that those

1591
01:11:06,440 --> 01:11:09,239
can be um addressed at so it's always

1592
01:11:09,239 --> 01:11:10,080
going to be just working with the

1593
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,679
developer working with L area land

1594
01:11:11,679 --> 01:11:15,159
owners sorry parking lot owners uh make

1595
01:11:15,159 --> 01:11:16,679
sure they making those connections and

1596
01:11:16,679 --> 01:11:19,880
discussing uh future lease options and I

1597
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,920
just want to add to what Dave's saying

1598
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,040
the agreement does require them to file

1599
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,159
with the city on an annual

1600
01:11:26,159 --> 01:11:29,679
basis proof proof that they are actively

1601
01:11:29,679 --> 01:11:31,960
seeking and if they don't provide that

1602
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,159
proof then they're not in compliance and

1603
01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:35,480
if they're not in compliance then we

1604
01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:38,320
don't have to pay the rebate until they

1605
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,280
are in

1606
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,440
compliance

1607
01:11:42,440 --> 01:11:44,800
okay sorry we're passing the microphone

1608
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:48,480
here but um just one other thing too

1609
01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:52,880
um if you recall uh staff um on the

1610
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:55,320
heels of our parking study staff asked

1611
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,639
Council um for authorization to begin

1612
01:11:58,639 --> 01:12:00,320
the process of kind of planning out a

1613
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:04,520
parking committee um that would be in

1614
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:06,840
existence not just on an ad hoc basis so

1615
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,760
as we continue to develop it um as that

1616
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,520
committee when we get to that point that

1617
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:15,280
committee would be charged with going

1618
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:17,159
through the recommendations of the

1619
01:12:17,159 --> 01:12:19,080
parking study but also being aware of

1620
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:20,960
things like this so that we're actively

1621
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,560
making sure that we can plan ahead

1622
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:26,400
anticipate um Vel recommendations for

1623
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,600
council's consideration uh moving

1624
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,719
forward and just so we can better handle

1625
01:12:30,719 --> 01:12:32,679
and manage those those the parking

1626
01:12:32,679 --> 01:12:35,719
requirements for the entirety of the

1627
01:12:35,719 --> 01:12:37,440
Uptown thank

1628
01:12:37,440 --> 01:12:39,560
you uh and just to follow up quick

1629
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:41,600
little schedule I think many of you may

1630
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,600
have saw the crane here over the last

1631
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:44,960
couple days they have been working on

1632
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,480
the uh the bell tower Loft area and

1633
01:12:47,480 --> 01:12:50,120
removing some of that Bree uh as well as

1634
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,760
removing that big heavy uh stone that

1635
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:54,760
was kind of hanging off the roof there

1636
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,280
uh so they 've been doing just a little

1637
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,120
uh kind of buttoning up a few things as

1638
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,280
part of the uh the demolition in the

1639
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,040
inside um the street may still be closed

1640
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,760
or will be closed periodically uh so

1641
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:09,159
you'll see um additional exterior

1642
01:13:09,159 --> 01:13:11,159
demolition uh probably starting in

1643
01:13:11,159 --> 01:13:13,639
spring so I'm going say March 2025 uh

1644
01:13:13,639 --> 01:13:17,950
site work early summer so

1645
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,360
junisha but uh they've been doing Aus

1646
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,560
remediation internal demolition uh I

1647
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:25,760
don't think they found any scary

1648
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,239
surprises they found some surprises

1649
01:13:27,239 --> 01:13:30,000
inside but nothing really alarming uh so

1650
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,320
they're going to be working on that

1651
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:32,400
throughout the

1652
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:39,030
winter great any other

1653
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:42,520
questions all right okay um the only

1654
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,040
other item marked on the agenda for

1655
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,960
review is uh D3 is there any item

1656
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:49,000
besides

1657
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,280
D3 that anyone would like to discuss

1658
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:57,510
before we go back to that one

1659
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,760
all right Mr barkow all right so this is

1660
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,280
a an ordinance updating our our snow

1661
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,679
routes and winter storm parking um so

1662
01:14:06,679 --> 01:14:09,719
this we're looking at it um new

1663
01:14:09,719 --> 01:14:11,679
Administration the new way of of doing

1664
01:14:11,679 --> 01:14:13,920
things out there with our new plows um

1665
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:15,280
so one of the the major things we're

1666
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:16,880
doing is we're taking emergency out of

1667
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:20,199
it so a 3-inch snow event is not an

1668
01:14:20,199 --> 01:14:24,600
emergency it's Iowa um an emergency is

1669
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:25,800
going to be something where we have a

1670
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:26,719
blizzard and we're going to have to

1671
01:14:26,719 --> 01:14:29,159
split shifts and stuff like that um but

1672
01:14:29,159 --> 01:14:31,480
what we're going to try and do is train

1673
01:14:31,480 --> 01:14:32,800
the resident so if they know that

1674
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,400
there's a 3inch or Ice event that's

1675
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,199
coming then they need to find alternate

1676
01:14:37,199 --> 01:14:38,719
places to park the cars so that we can

1677
01:14:38,719 --> 01:14:40,440
clean the streets the best way that we

1678
01:14:40,440 --> 01:14:43,080
can possible we will still do press

1679
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:44,840
releases and notices that go out to the

1680
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,239
public but if we can start get getting

1681
01:14:47,239 --> 01:14:48,600
them trained that if the National

1682
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,239
Weather Service says three Ines of snow

1683
01:14:51,239 --> 01:14:55,600
or an IC event it's automatic no parking

1684
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,760
um we do have special parking uh decals

1685
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,440
for those that may not have a driveway

1686
01:15:00,440 --> 01:15:03,920
or other means um to park their vehicle

1687
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:06,840
elsewhere um we are also doing a lot

1688
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,520
with our community so we've met with the

1689
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,639
county twice with Cedar Rapids both

1690
01:15:12,639 --> 01:15:15,080
school districts to figure out are there

1691
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:16,960
ways that we can do things better that

1692
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,360
are better for the entire Community um

1693
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,360
so we have been leading that way um so

1694
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:23,679
we're changing the 2080 with ly County

1695
01:15:23,679 --> 01:15:26,199
on what routes we do versus what routes

1696
01:15:26,199 --> 01:15:28,440
they do to make it the most sense same

1697
01:15:28,440 --> 01:15:31,040
thing with Cedar Rapids um and then the

1698
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,080
school districts we're looking at what

1699
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,280
are our primary and secondary routes and

1700
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,280
where are bus stops so when they're

1701
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:38,920
trying to make that call at 5:30 in the

1702
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,080
morning if they have school or not if

1703
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,159
they can move that bus stop over one

1704
01:15:43,159 --> 01:15:45,400
block or if we can move that snow route

1705
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,280
over if it makes sense um then maybe

1706
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,880
they don't have to delay school or maybe

1707
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,000
they only have to delay school and they

1708
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,239
don't have to cancel it so then we can

1709
01:15:55,239 --> 01:15:57,520
have more of that collaboration between

1710
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,719
everyone um so one thing we would like

1711
01:15:59,719 --> 01:16:04,120
to do is it is getting cold out um we'll

1712
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,360
have the first reading on Thursday but

1713
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,480
we are asking to wave the rules and have

1714
01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:10,960
the second and final consideration at

1715
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:12,480
the next set of meetings if council's

1716
01:16:12,480 --> 01:16:13,880
willing to do that so that we are

1717
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,199
prepared for winter weather when it

1718
01:16:16,199 --> 01:16:19,880
should come um and then we will also be

1719
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,280
bringing we're taking we currently have

1720
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,320
a standard operating procedure and a

1721
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:25,800
policy for

1722
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,960
smoke um we're going to combine those

1723
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,280
two into one document and we bring that

1724
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,800
at the same time so all the guys have

1725
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,639
been working together to to put that

1726
01:16:34,639 --> 01:16:37,080
together some of the 208s may be a

1727
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:38,840
little delayed so we might have to just

1728
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:40,639
put the policies in there how how we've

1729
01:16:40,639 --> 01:16:42,760
discuss them and wait for those 2080s to

1730
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:44,639
get through legal and bring those back

1731
01:16:44,639 --> 01:16:46,199
at a later date but we would have a new

1732
01:16:46,199 --> 01:16:47,920
2080 with Lyn County and we'd have a new

1733
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:49,679
2080 with Cedar Rapids but those would

1734
01:16:49,679 --> 01:16:54,950
be separate considerations

1735
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,639
okay anything else no any questions on

1736
01:16:57,639 --> 01:17:01,870

1737
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:03,920
