Uh we did come in in 210 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,840 front of you now just to get this 211 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,600 formality out of the way. If it does not 212 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,039 approve then we will not move forward 213 00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:26,480 with it. But I wanted to make sure we 214 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,320 were at the point that we could move 215 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,559 forward it. It's approximately uh just 216 00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:32,640 about an acre. It's on the north side of 217 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,919 the the plant uh to adjacent to it and 218 00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:38,960 it does front on Henry Avenue. 219 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,799 owner's amicable to everything that I'm 220 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:45,039 telling you here tonight. Um, so from 221 00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:47,520 that standpoint, uh, on the fiscal side, 222 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,440 there's really no negative impact as you 223 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,400 can see with our the cash balance in our 224 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,720 utility enterprise fund. This is also 225 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,520 part of the overall budget for the water 226 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,640 plant as well. So based on all the 227 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,679 positivenesses on this, um I'm here to 228 00:20:03,679 --> 00:20:05,200 recommend that you authorize the city 229 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,880 manager to execute the contract for the 230 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,679 purchase of the two parcels. Their tax 231 00:20:09,679 --> 00:20:12,720 IDs are noted um that's adjacent to the 232 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,559 water plant and pending the satisfactory 233 00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:16,400 results of the title and the phase one. 234 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,400 And I'm here to answer any questions. 235 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,240 >> Thank you, Miss Adams. 236 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,120 >> Thank you, mayor. In terms of the 237 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:26,000 property itself, the plan is to use it 238 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,400 for our utilities for for that 239 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,720 expansion. In terms of doing that U in 240 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,559 and out of the property, correct? 241 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:34,720 >> Well, this opens up a whole new 242 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,799 possibility of creating a loop coming in 243 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:38,080 from Park Hill. Oop, excuse me, from 244 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,480 Park Hill and going back out. Um, so 245 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,080 yeah, we're going to probably go back to 246 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,679 the drawing board to see how it's going 247 00:20:43,679 --> 00:20:45,520 to play into it. But that's the goal. 248 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,880 And our last property that we purchased 249 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,039 adjacent to the land that we already 250 00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:53,600 own, we know we have to take down a 251 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,840 house and do some clearing. In this 252 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,679 land, we don't have to do that 253 00:20:57,679 --> 00:20:59,200 additional clearing with that cost. 254 00:20:59,200 --> 00:20:59,679 Correct. 255 00:20:59,679 --> 00:21:00,799 >> There's no house, right? 256 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:02,400 >> There is some trees. 257 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,559 >> Are we are we taking out the trees and 258 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:06,880 doing landscape changes to it? 259 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,240 >> Haven't gotten that far yet. I would 260 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,840 imagine eventually somewhere down 261 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,120 shortly down the road. That would 262 00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,120 probably be the goal. Yeah, we'll 263 00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:14,960 ultimately follow the process and do a 264 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,200 tree survey and take a look at what can 265 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,840 stay and what can go. But ultimately, 266 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,600 um, we originally tried to get this 267 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,360 years ago with the idea of of kind of a, 268 00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:28,000 you know, one way one way in or a a 269 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,840 predominant way in and a predominant way 270 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,480 out um, for the plant and for public 271 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,240 works. And we're never able to acquire 272 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,919 it until um, when it rains a pores. We now have several residents in that 273 00:21:39,919 --> 00:21:44,559 area that um have appreciated our our 274 00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:47,600 constant contact by our project uh 275 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,360 project manager, Mr. Petroni, and and um 276 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:54,880 have I'll say a renewed interest in 277 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,559 possibly selling to the city of West 278 00:21:56,559 --> 00:22:00,320 Melbourne. And so this property uh 279 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,520 really yields itself to a possibility of 280 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,080 a of some kind of roadway 281 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,919 in and out to the project site. 282 00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:09,840 >> How many parcels are left that we're 283 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,640 still considering if they were for sale? 284 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,360 >> There's about four more along 285 00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:16,720 >> four key. Yeah. 286 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,080 >> And there's um maybe five. And then if 287 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,120 you look at the attachment, there's a 288 00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:24,960 property directly to the west adjacent 289 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,000 to this and then another one 290 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,120 maybe six roughly approximately. 291 00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,600 >> Okay. Thank you. U I'll make a motion to 292 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,679 authorize the city manager to execute 293 00:22:35,679 --> 00:22:37,440 the contract for the purchase of the two 294 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,960 parcels.

This 363 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,720 isn't going to even be uh final grade. 364 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,559 This is just to get some trees cleared 365 00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:24,000 out of that corner and kind of set it up 366 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,640 for the next phase. Uh but looking to 367 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,120 clear that off, do some uh seating to 368 00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:31,679 get some stabilization in there. But at 369 00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:33,120 some point in the future, we would come 370 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,279 forward to the council with some 371 00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:37,840 proposed concept plans and and some 372 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,400 architectural renderings to look at. And 373 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,240 so that those are down the road. This is 374 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,919 really just kind of the next step and 375 00:25:43,919 --> 00:25:46,080 clearing it out to kind of make way for 376 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,600 those next steps. 377 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,760 >> Thank you. All right, Mr. Francis, your 378 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,440 questions. 379 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,440 >> It appears you're just uh clearing out 380 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,799 the corner area. Why not do the the 381 00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:58,799 planned trail? Cuz it seems like it 382 00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:00,640 would make sense to do it all at one 383 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,279 time, the the front part and what's 384 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,080 cutting through like the center. Why? 385 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:06,480 not? 386 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,320 >> Yeah. So, with any development like 387 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,520 that, there's probably going to have to 388 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,760 be Phil brought in and bring it to true 389 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,120 grade. And we don't know where that is 390 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:16,000 right this minute. And so whether how 391 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,200 much of that we would have to bring in 392 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,200 to do the trail and that's kind of the 393 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,720 next step. This is really clearing out 394 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,200 the the wooded area and getting it sort 395 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,360 of set up for the next phase. So we we 396 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,279 don't have included the proposed trail 397 00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:28,559 because we had looked at a couple of 398 00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:31,279 concepts but never settled on official 399 00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:33,120 you know we we never brought to a vote 400 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:34,960 what that future site is going to look 401 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,240 like. But one thing that we had um 402 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,480 discussed was the potential community 403 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,880 center being on that that corner that's 404 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,200 mo that's closest to the community park 405 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,559 and the rest was going to come in 406 00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:48,480 multiple phases kind of down the road. 407 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,760 And so we were just kind of starting 408 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,919 with the first part. Um but at some 409 00:26:51,919 --> 00:26:53,360 point down the road I think you know 410 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,360 that there is desire to have additional 411 00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:58,159 trails and bike and walk path. We just 412 00:26:58,159 --> 00:27:00,000 haven't gotten to that point with 413 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,520 development of the site. 414 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,000 >> Thank you. Our public works crews also 415 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,960 has the equipment to do the trails, but 416 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,320 big open spaces like this, you know, you 417 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:16,799 need that you need the big boy toys to to clear efficiently on large sites. 418 00:27:16,799 --> 00:27:18,400 >> Somebody else to have the liability 419 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:18,880 also. 420 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,720 >> Well, that that headache, too. But, you 421 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,279 know, we have we have midsize to small 422 00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:24,960 equipment. We don't have any of the 423 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,080 >> I don't want to break our stuff, 424 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,679 >> the the big the big guns. 425 00:27:27,679 --> 00:27:29,120 >> Okay, Miss Adams. 426 00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:32,240 >> Thank you. As a followup on that, I know 427 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,159 council had talked about during the 428 00:27:34,159 --> 00:27:36,240 workshop uh trying to remove the 429 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,880 invasive pepper trees from that 430 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,279 property. This wouldn't necessarily be 431 00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:42,960 that. This is just looking at the 432 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,679 specific acreage and then we'll look at 433 00:27:45,679 --> 00:27:48,400 the trails and removing the invasive at 434 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,120 another time. 435 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:50,640 >> Yeah, I think the vision is that we'll 436 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,960 bring forward a more complete overall 437 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,760 sort of master plan if you will. But in 438 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,000 each of those plan concepts, the 439 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,360 community recreation center is kind of 440 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:01,679 in this spot. So, this seemed like an 441 00:28:01,679 --> 00:28:03,520 easy first step to kind of get moving on 442 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,080 it and then continue to work on those 443 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,960 renderings and those um sort of option 444 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,480 A, option B, you know, how do we want to 445 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,000 develop this moving forward and sort of 446 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,720 that master plan piece. Um so, we we 447 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,840 aren't quite at that point with the 448 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,320 master plan, but yeah, there there would 449 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,000 certainly be more phases to come. This 450 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,760 is just sort of the first step. 451 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,520 >> Understood. And Mr. Rodie, it's my 452 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,039 understanding we're moving this forward 453 00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:27,440 at this time even though we don't have a 454 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,440 final concept plan because it'll save us 455 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,960 money since we've got some other 456 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,480 construction going on so that we can 457 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,080 move the dirt from one site to the other 458 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,520 without paying additional for it. 459 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,159 Correct. 460 00:28:36,159 --> 00:28:39,279 >> Yeah. Our capital projects uh manager 461 00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:42,000 continues to continues to do more and 462 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,360 more projects which supplies us with a 463 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,799 healthy amount of dirt. And so, uh, 464 00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:51,039 being able to utilize this site to help 465 00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:53,520 get it to final grade and have a place 466 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,200 to take it so we only have to truck it 467 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,360 once. Uh, 468 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,720 >> dirt's not cheap. 469 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,760 >> Well, I, as I like to tell people, when 470 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,919 you need dirt, it's expensive. When you 471 00:29:03,919 --> 00:29:06,240 have dirt, it's hard to get rid of. And 472 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,559 that always seems to be the case. And 473 00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:10,640 right now, with our uh with our 474 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,679 multitude of projects, we have dirt. And 475 00:29:13,679 --> 00:29:16,000 so if we can start putting it on this 476 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,159 site and get a good level base to to 477 00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:20,320 start this project from, uh, it 478 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,799 certainly cost is a big cost savings to 479 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:23,600 the city. 480 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,440 >> I like cost savings for the city. 481 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,360 Although Mark, we're we're two for two 482 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,000 for big projects being on time and under 483 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,240 budget. So the expectation is high now 484 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,760 >> that it is. Thank you, 485 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:36,880 >> Mr. Bentley. 486 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,080 >> Thank you, Mayor. [clears throat] 487 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,840 I guess I have a couple of questions. 488 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:47,120 One is on the first quote on 8B-4. 489 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,200 It says well bill for actuals. Is that 490 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,960 just an estimate for cost that they put 491 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:57,600 in there or is there not a cost but they estimated 4.85 acres. We had 492 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,279 estimated slightly less on the 493 00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:01,760 rendering. Um so it may vary just a 494 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,600 little bit but I I don't know that it's 495 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,320 going to go over that. Um so I'm not too 496 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,679 concerned about that. Yeah. 497 00:30:07,679 --> 00:30:13,190 >> Okay. So the 6971 is their estimate. 498 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,720 I'm looking at the uh sod install 499 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,360 on the allp pro land 500 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,880 >> all pro sod install the 211,000. 501 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,480 >> Yeah. And it says we'll bill for actual. 502 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,159 So that they just estimated and they'll 503 00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:27,279 give you an actual bill when they get 504 00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:28,159 it. 505 00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:29,039 >> Is that what that is? 506 00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:30,960 >> If it takes more, but again I don't 507 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,200 know. 508 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,039 >> It's not that much, right? 509 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:35,039 >> Uh 510 00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:37,679 and the second contractor says they 511 00:30:37,679 --> 00:30:39,520 include debris removal. Is that included 512 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,720 in the first one? It's just not shown. 513 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,240 >> Uh it it does re it does include um land 514 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,159 clearing. So at the at the top um just 515 00:30:48,159 --> 00:30:49,679 under the land clearing section. 516 00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:51,760 >> Okay. Debris says removal of trees. 517 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,480 Right. Yeah. 518 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,240 >> Thank you sir. 519 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,799 >> Mr. Frampus. 520 00:30:56,799 --> 00:30:59,360 >> I forgot to ask uh in the rendering you 521 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,880 show in the yellow section that large uh 522 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,840 area of trees. That's definitely staying 523 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,480 correct. The square section of trees in 524 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,919 the rendering. 525 00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:11,360 Yeah, we're going to try to save as many 526 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,200 as possible. As with all of these types 527 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,559 of things, when you start bringing fill 528 00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:16,080 in, it's hard. You know, there's no 529 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,640 guarantee that they'll survive, but um 530 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,360 the planning department obviously very 531 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,240 adamant about saving trees and as are 532 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,799 >> just the red dots. I'm talking about the large green section within the 533 00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:32,399 yellow square. Correct. 534 00:31:32,399 --> 00:31:35,840 >> The large green section. Um 535 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,760 it'll all be dirt to start with. This is 536 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,279 just a con. This is part of one of the 537 00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:41,120 concepts that shows that as being grassy 538 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,640 area. 539 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,399 >> This looks like trees to me. 540 00:31:44,399 --> 00:31:48,000 >> Um that's grassy area. The dots are the 541 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,600 larger trees that they were intending to 542 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,320 save 543 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,640 >> because this picture looks like the rest 544 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,120 of the green area on here. 545 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,039 >> Yeah, that that's a concept. It's just a rendering concept that you 546 00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:01,039 know we intend to kind of leave a buffer 547 00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,760 at the back edge. um that whole section 548 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,960 in that in that 549 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,000 >> I was just wondering 550 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,200 >> square would be 551 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,399 >> I'm wondering why we're not leaving 552 00:32:08,399 --> 00:32:10,159 those trees because it's not a area 553 00:32:10,159 --> 00:32:13,440 that's going to be utilized for parking 554 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,440 or recreation or any of that kind of 555 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,200 stuff. So why take it out? 556 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,640 >> Well, they've identified the larger 557 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,799 trees there. You see two 18 in trees 558 00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:22,480 down toward the bottom. And so there 559 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,320 must not have been in that area trees 560 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,399 that they felt were of a size and 561 00:32:26,399 --> 00:32:28,480 quality to save because you can see even 562 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,760 through the community center area 563 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,360 they've have dots through there. 564 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,559 >> Right. Right. And so we're going to try 565 00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:34,320 to save those, but at some point they 566 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,000 may have to come down. If the the 567 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,320 concept that's ultimately agreed to or selected by council shows a building 568 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,600 there, then obviously those are going to 569 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,559 have to be removed. Um but yeah, it's it 570 00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:46,960 this is just part of the concept. That's 571 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,480 not a tree area. That's just kind of a 572 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,279 grass area. 573 00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:50,799 >> Pretty much everything in the yellow 574 00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:52,720 block is coming out except for the red 575 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,519 dots. 576 00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:54,799 >> Correct. 577 00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:56,880 >> And most of it is scrub brush. 578 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,919 >> Yes. We walked the site and we for sure 579 00:32:59,919 --> 00:33:05,039 >> it's it's not as if it's pristine in any 580 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:06,880 >> doesn't look that bad from the road. So 581 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,880 >> it it doesn't but when you get inside 582 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,279 it's I assure you it's a lot of 583 00:33:11,279 --> 00:33:13,279 invasives and a lot of scrub brush. 584 00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:15,120 >> I didn't see a lot of big beautiful oak 585 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,039 trees or anything like that. It was 586 00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:20,230 Yeah. 587 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,000 » All right. Thank you. Any more No more 588 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000 questions. All right. We have a motion 589 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,600 on the floor from Miss Adams and a 590 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,640 second from Mr. Frampus. Um, all those 591 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,799 in favor, please signify by saying I. 592 00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:33,440 >> I. Those opposed say nay.

That's 838 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,040 the statemandated training that happens 839 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,920 every year. So, got that done. But just 840 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,359 a reminder that they do offer it at 841 00:42:55,359 --> 00:42:56,880 least two more times virtually 842 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,319 throughout the year and then they will 843 00:42:58,319 --> 00:43:00,079 do it again at the conference. So, just 844 00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:01,440 putting that on your radar if you're 845 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,040 someone like me that likes to plan 846 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,760 ahead. Uh the Citizens Leadership 847 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,000 Academy, I popped in while uh Mr. Roadie 848 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,520 and Mr. Kerry were giving their 849 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,960 presentations.

Their parents asked some 855 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,880 great questions and everybody was really 856 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,640 hands-on.

But 989 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,640 I I need to get that. Okay. 990 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,800 >> Thank you. 991 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,920 Mr. Kerry. 992 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,839 Thank you. And I just wanted to let 993 00:48:33,839 --> 00:48:35,520 everybody know that a week from Friday 994 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,280 is the last day of the legislative 995 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,000 session. Today is the last day of Senate 996 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,960 committee meetings. Um and if you all if 997 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,680 any of you uh went to or watched the 998 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,440 webinar for the League of Cities about 999 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,680 the legislature, they kind of gave their 1000 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,440 strongest verbal indication yet that 1001 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,000 they don't think that the property tax 1002 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,480 issue is going anywhere. Now, you know, 1003 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,280 that that's obviously, you know, things 1004 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:00,720 can happen in the last 10 days of 1005 00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:03,520 session and and so, um, nothing's final 1006 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,000 until the hanky drops, but um, it kind 1007 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,920 of seems like the Senate doesn't really 1008 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,680 want to move that ball. Uh, that 1009 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,520 obviously doesn't foreclose the governor 1010 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,040 from calling a special session, but 1011 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,119 again, he can call a session, he can't 1012 00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:16,640 make him do anything, right? So, they 1013 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,880 can open the session, close it, and not 1014 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,880 do anything. So, we'll see what happens 1015 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,440 um, as far as getting a referendum on 1016 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,359 the ballot. But um I was kind of 1017 00:49:25,359 --> 00:49:30,000 surprised that the league uh gave an 1018 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,160 indication verbally that they thought it 1019 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,760 wasn't going to go anywhere. Um and also 1020 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,160 the 10th or excuse me the 13th being the 1021 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:39,680 final day of session depends on them 1022 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,400 getting the budget published on Tuesday. 1023 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,319 Uh because there's a law that they have 1024 00:49:44,319 --> 00:49:47,599 to have a published budget for uh 72 1025 00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:49,760 hours before they can vote on it. So, if 1026 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,800 the budget drops on Tuesday, then the 1027 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,400 session will probably be over Friday. If 1028 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,000 it drops on Wednesday, then they'll go 1029 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,480 into Saturday. So on and so forth. Um, 1030 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,240 so just uh some things to keep an eye 1031 00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:02,720 on. So at the uh next meeting, we'll 1032 00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:05,920 obviously have a uh post session wrap-up 1033 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,480 that um it it's not going to be the the 1034 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,400 full wrap-up where we go over the report 1035 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,480 of the league. Just kind of more a 1036 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,640 highlevel, you know, these things uh 1037 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,319 pass that concerned us, these don't. and 1038 00:50:16,319 --> 00:50:18,480 we'll do the full wrap up uh in a couple 1039 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:19,839 months after the league's report is done 1040 00:50:19,839 --> 00:50:21,599 as usual. Thank you. 1041 00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:22,720 >> All right. Thank you. Any other 1042 00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:24,400 comments? 1043 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,720 >> All right. This meeting is adjourned at 1044 00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:28,319 uh let me see what time is it really? 1045 00:50:28,319 --> 00:50:32,549 6:40. 1046 00:50:32,559 --> 00:50:35,200 That's all.
