[0:00] We'll call the meeting to order. Let's stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance,
[0:03] please.
[0:04] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of
[0:08] America and to the Republic for which it stands, one
[0:12] nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[0:16] justice for all.
[0:18] Thank you, all.
[0:20] Bye-bye.
[0:26] Let's have roll call, please.
[0:28] Cook?
[0:28] Yes.
[0:29] Eller?
[0:29] Yes.
[0:29] Ferreol?
[0:30] Yes.
[0:30] Fletcher?
[0:31] Yes.
[0:32] Mazur?
[0:32] Yes.
[0:33] All present, Mr. Mayor.
[0:34] Thank you.
[0:36] Agenda is solid as published?
[0:40] Yes.
[0:41] I make a motion we adopt the agenda as presented. I second.
[0:48] Fletcher?
[0:48] Roll, please.
[0:49] Fletcher?
[0:50] Yes.
[0:50] Cook?
[0:50] Yes.
[0:51] Eller?
[0:51] Yes.
[0:51] Ferreol?
[0:52] Yes.
[0:52] Mazur?
[0:53] Yes.
[0:54] Okay. I don't have anybody signed up for public comment.
[1:00] So,
[1:01] I look forward to this. We're all solid with the consent
[1:05] agenda. Everybody's seen it. Could I get someone to make a motion to
[1:09] adopt the consent agenda?
[1:11] So moved.
[1:12] Ferreol?
[1:13] Second.
[1:14] Orr?
[1:19] Yes.
[1:20] Cook?
[1:20] Yes.
[1:20] Eller?
[1:21] Yes.
[1:21] Fletcher?
[1:22] Yes. You can restart that one, too.
[1:25] It is okay.
[1:25] Okay. Well, we'll get you.
[1:27] I need training.
[1:28] We're just trying to keep all the steps correct.
[1:30] Training.
[1:31] Mary Ann, you have the claims. Anything we...
[1:34] Were they good?
[1:36] I make a motion that we pay them.
[1:37] Thank you.
[1:38] Second. Yes, I got that one. I did. You got the other one.
[1:42] Yes. I'm going to give that to Mr. Eller.
[1:46] All right. Orr?
[1:48] Yes.
[1:48] Eller?
[1:49] Yes.
[1:49] Cook?
[1:50] Yes.
[1:50] Ferreol?
[1:51] Yes.
[1:51] Fletcher?
[1:51] Yes.
[1:52] Levity is good.
[1:54] Hey, thank you all.
[1:56] We're down to number eight here,
[1:59] reports from city boards and departments.
[2:02] Ryan Flaherty, you're up first.
[2:04] Good evening, everyone.
[2:09] I believe there's three there.
[2:11] Okay.
[2:11] Ask if it's been done.
[2:14] I guess it's three.
[2:15] Three more things, might not be.
[2:18] Perfect.
[2:20] Okay.
[2:22] First of all, I'm going to start with, we ordered salt.
[2:26] Last month, I ordered salt.
[2:28] We ordered 125 ton this year.
[2:31] We used about 75 last year.
[2:35] We're going to try and start putting more salt down than sand, so we don't have the
[2:38] street to clean near as much anymore.
[2:42] I'm sure that everybody's noticed that we've started painting
[2:46] early. We usually paint in August, but we started painting
[2:50] uptown
[2:51] for tourist season to make uptown look a little bit better, do the
[2:55] crosswalks. We will paint crosswalks for the school and the school
[2:59] painting in August when it's closer to school time.
[3:05] We
[3:07] are pretty close with our phase one of the street
[3:11] project.
[3:12] We've got some final grading, seeding, fertilizing, all that
[3:16] good stuff. They've got some cleanup to do in the streets.
[3:21] Some of their manhole lids are marked different.
[3:24] Some say storm, some say sanitary, and they're in the different
[3:28] holes. They're going to get that taken care of.
[3:31] We have two
[3:34] sidewalk approaches that need to be redone.
[3:37] When we did the final walkthrough on Thursday,
[3:41] some of them are more than 2% slope, so they have to redo
[3:45] some of those.
[3:46] And then,
[3:48] with that being said, they should be wrapped up, and that should be hopefully by
[3:52] the end of this week. And
[3:55] that is going to be done
[3:58] with phase one. Phase two, I asked Jordan on Thursday through the
[4:02] walkthrough if he has talked to Tom Pike
[4:06] through Grimes Asphalt. He thinks they're going to start sometime mid-June,
[4:10] which is coming right up. We'll have that done.
[4:13] We'll get John Wayne done, get Yates done.
[4:17] Yeah.
[4:18] And then,
[4:21] I
[4:22] had a concerned citizen call about the cracks out on
[4:27] Cherry Point out there north of town
[4:30] on the coming highway and went out there and looked at it, and some of the cracks
[4:34] are very large. A bicycle wheel fall in it.
[4:38] I've contacted the company that's going to come in in July and take care of all the
[4:41] cracks and fill them with
[4:44] plastic crack mastic
[4:46] material that's...
[4:49] Dallas County uses it right now. They're from Cedar Rapids.
[4:52] They're going to come out and get that taken care of so we can hopefully
[4:56] leave that section of town alone for the rest of the time that I'm here, but we'll
[5:00] see.
[5:03] And then other than that, I have tough truck coming up on this weekend
[5:06] and-
[5:07] Best I ever
[5:08] ... yeah. We do know that the county's not bringing some
[5:12] equipment. I talked to Rachel, so I'm going to try and take as much equipment as I
[5:15] can.
[5:16] Yes, thank you, because that's an awesome deal.
[5:19] Yep.
[5:19] The grandpa's in the room, and the grandma's I'm sure appreciate it.
[5:22] It's a great deal.
[5:26] Sorry, I interrupted you.
[5:27] No, you're fine. That's all I had.
[5:29] I want to thank you for the no outlet sign.
[5:32] Yep.
[5:33] I've got a retired librarian that's not calling anymore.
[5:37] Fair
[5:38] enough.
[5:39] Yes.
[5:39] Yeah.
[5:40] And I have one more.
[5:41] Okay.
[5:41] No outlet there on 3rd Avenue. I'll send you a note.
[5:47] Just off of Lane.
[5:50] Okay.
[5:51] That 3rd Avenue cul-de-sac up there.
[5:53] Going north?
[5:54] Yeah.
[5:54] Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
[5:57] Are we getting any closer to putting up no parking signs for-
[6:01] One side of the street or the other?
[6:03] As soon as I get to my new budget,
[6:05] instead of buying brand-new signs, I'm going to
[6:09] buy the sticker faces, and they're half the
[6:13] price. And so we're going to go through and sticker the ones that need to
[6:17] be stickered.
[6:19] Good deal.
[6:21] Anybody else have anything for Ryan?
[6:24] I see you cut trees today. Somebody trimming trees.
[6:28] Yes.
[6:28] Every time I drive down the road, and I see there's several trees.
[6:30] We started trimming the bus route from the start of the bridges.
[6:35] When we get done with that, we'll start with the rest of them.
[6:37] Yeah. It seems like this year we must have got a lot of extra growth this spring.
[6:41] Yes. They're all heavy.
[6:43] Water.
[6:44] Yeah.
[6:44] And there's a lot of the small ones actually have grown
[6:47] horizontally out I've seen. So.
[6:50] Yep.
[6:52] Thank you.
[6:53] Yep. Thank you.
[6:54] Thank you.
[6:55] All right.
[6:57] David, I've already besmirched the librarian, so let's-
[7:00] Yes, sir. Well, you get to deal with the mail.
[7:02] Yeah.
[7:03] They're retiring.
[7:05] Good evening, Council.
[7:08] Good news right off the bat, I can report our program attendance
[7:11] for this fiscal year is up
[7:14] about 25%, and that's
[7:18] wonderful. All the credit goes to the staff there. Great programs.
[7:22] Also doing a good job reporting on attendance there.
[7:26] And just to finish out there, it looks like we'll be able to,
[7:30] knock on wood, close out fiscal year '26 well in
[7:35] the black. So,
[7:37] we'll see about that next month.
[7:41] Next,
[7:43] well, there goes Ryan out the door, but, many thanks to
[7:46] our City of Winterset safe operators who will be
[7:50] present for next Saturday's Touch A Truck.
[7:53] As I've mentioned many times already,
[7:57] we're having a big model railroad exhibit this weekend, and
[8:00] then I think that, if anything, will
[8:03] guarantee that my attendance for programs will be way
[8:07] up this fiscal year, which ends
[8:10] at the end of June. So very excited about that.
[8:14] And once again, I can't fail to mention the hospitality suite is for safe
[8:18] operators and officials, people with official status.
[8:22] Right.
[8:22] And so that's all of you. And so I look forward to seeing you there next
[8:26] Saturday. That's my hope.
[8:29] Next, our staff is ready for construction.
[8:32] Your approval of the contract, our contract with Hildreth
[8:36] Construction this evening is very much appreciated.
[8:40] That will really move us forward as an institution
[8:44] and I'm just so excited about that.
[8:47] Lastly, I can announce that, as of
[8:51] July 1st, we are accredited with the state library
[8:54] through 2029. And I know that just sounds
[8:58] academic to you, and
[9:00] some people may think it's a foregone conclusion, but it represented a fair
[9:04] amount of effort to get all that data together, and so I'm happy that's all done,
[9:08] and it was a successful effort. So, that's what I have for you,
[9:12] Council and Attorney, Mr. Administrator.
[9:15] Thank you. Any questions for David?
[9:17] Is your accreditation, are there different levels to that?
[9:20] Yes, sir.
[9:21] Yeah.
[9:21] So we would be at what level?
[9:23] We are at Tier 3, which is the highest level of services, and that's
[9:27] for E-sized libraries, which are Iowa
[9:31] libraries serving communities between 5,000 and
[9:35] 10,000. And our programming has just really
[9:39] gotten attention in the last two or three years, even from the state library, and
[9:43] I'm just so excited to run those numbers at the end of this month.
[9:47] And that comes from having good people in place doing what they're supposed to be
[9:51] doing, namely Rachel and Chris Baumgarten, our adult
[9:54] services guy.
[9:58] Very good.
[9:59] Thank you, sir.
[9:59] Thank you.
[10:00] You bet.
[10:03] Scott, you're up.
[10:08] Thank you, Mayor, City Council, Scott Schmaderer, director of parks and rec.
[10:12] Park center's up and operational for the 2026 season.
[10:15] So this year we have roughly 51 seasonal employees.
[10:18] We opened up this past Memorial Day, as we typically always do.
[10:22] And then a little bit different, actually, last year was kind of the same as this
[10:25] year's school year, but we did stay open from 4:00 to 8:00 throughout the week.
[10:29] So a lot of the other municipalities around us, they don't do
[10:33] that. Just so you guys know that they typically just open the weekend, shut down
[10:37] for the week, and then reopen the weekend.
[10:38] But we stayed open 4:00 to 8:00, and attendance was great.
[10:42] So the weather's been perfect.
[10:45] Planning for the pool season, obviously, it never really stops anymore.
[10:48] It's a year-round deal. So,
[10:50] hats off to Zach and Chris. We start hiring back in
[10:54] November. So we'll close this year in August and then take about a six-week
[10:58] hiatus and start back with the hiring process.
[11:02] So again, hats off to Chris and Zach.
[11:06] Obviously, as Council is aware, alongside our engineers and design team, we
[11:08] carefully reevaluated the field house and police department,
[11:12] and reduced those costs by 25%, lowering the total estimate to 16.4
[11:16] million, from the estimated 20, without reducing the facility's
[11:19] footprint or impacting the business plan.
[11:24] And then so some of those premium amenities
[11:27] that we did
[11:29] remove for cost-effective reasons and
[11:33] alternatives were the traditional wood floors now replace those LED courts.
[11:36] The hoodie gathering area replaces the indoor playground, and the new common space
[11:40] replaces the concession multi-sports simulator area, allowing for more
[11:43] flexibility to utilize those spaces.
[11:46] So those modifications, along with reduction of sand volleyball, the redesign of
[11:49] utilities, allowed us to reduce that estimated cost.
[11:52] Obviously, the process wasn't simply about cutting costs, it was also about showing
[11:56] the community that we heard them, and we all heard questions.
[11:58] So, that's the big thing. And the other thing is without the footprint not
[12:01] being reduced, those amenities that I mentioned, this basically would
[12:04] be an alternative. So, or down the road. So those things aren't gone forever.
[12:08] The LED floors was a design, we'll save the traditional wood floors.
[12:12] But the other things, depending on fundraising or whatever, could still come back
[12:16] in another day.Internal Recreation Trail Project at City
[12:20] Park will start later this month, and conclude around the beginning of
[12:24] August-ish. This is the next phase of that recreational trail project.
[12:27] So this is the internal loop around City Park.
[12:30] And if you guys can remember,
[12:33] around almost a year and a half ago, the majority of this project
[12:37] had been funded through grants. So most, not all, but most of this project
[12:41] is funded through the Iowa DOT,
[12:44] and through their trails and grants.
[12:46] City Park playground is extremely busy again.
[12:49] Weekends are pretty much at capacity. Husky Health Day just occurred.
[12:53] Our parks were big beneficiaries of this.
[12:56] Split and bundle firewood, hedge maze with the rotary, the flower mounds in
[12:59] front of Carver Park, or it's front of City Park,
[13:02] with the master gardeners, and then the tree plantings in coordination with the
[13:06] Tree Commission.
[13:08] Friends of, we picked up 120 flower baskets.
[13:11] So if you haven't seen, if you go by, there's some flowers.
[13:14] They're growing. They're blooming.
[13:17] We got 120 of those from Harvey's, and then the next day around 4:30, we all went
[13:21] outside and started hanging them.
[13:23] So the Friends of and some of our parks staff, we took over the
[13:27] first week just so we can kind of work the kinks out of it, and the volunteers have
[13:31] been taking that over to date, and have done a fantastic
[13:34] job. Also, the Friends of group held a park
[13:38] rededication and mural reveal at George Washington Park.
[13:41] So if you have not had a chance to go check that out, Christine Hulbert, local
[13:44] artist,
[13:46] did that, and then also a local contractor, Clayton Stevens, took down the wall,
[13:49] put a new one up. And that project was, again, primarily funded
[13:53] with donations for that project.
[13:58] New water line installed at Giffen Fields with assistance from Winterset Municipal
[14:02] Utilities. That might be the longest service line in the history of service
[14:06] lines. If folks aren't familiar with that, it starts at the concession stand and
[14:10] runs literally due east under the creek, and hooks up, I don't know, 200
[14:14] feet to a main. So we've replaced that three or four different
[14:17] times in patches. So we tried to do as much replacement as we could finally.
[14:22] Upcoming programs, T-ball's in full swing with about 180 kids.
[14:24] Pitch, Hit, & Run will be a free event this Saturday.
[14:27] This program came back last year. It's a local event, lets kids who potentially
[14:31] go through this local competition go to a state level and so on and so forth, and
[14:35] potentially end up at the World Series.
[14:37] Pickleball's open, move in the park began Friday, June 19th.
[14:40] We've got swim lessons starting next week. Private swim lessons are open.
[14:44] Middle school recently held a cardboard boat race at the pools.
[14:47] We worked with the school district on that a little bit, and they had
[14:50] 120 sixth graders, I think, out there doing some cardboard boat races.
[14:54] With that, I'd be happy to answer any questions.
[14:58] Sounds great. Anybody have any questions for Scott?
[15:01] Out of curiosity, with the field house plan or the funding
[15:06] and the fundraising-
[15:07] Mm-hmm
[15:07] ... you're still keeping the target on that the same, though?
[15:10] You're not changing that or your fundraising target because you were-
[15:13] Pledges
[15:14] will still be accepted.
[15:15] Yes.
[15:16] Obviously, we're going through and seeing how the public turns out to that
[15:19] project. And yeah, we'll still be accepting pledges.
[15:22] Like I said, those amenities that we discussed, those are just going to be
[15:26] reduced for the bidding process. They'll be...
[15:29] And there's an alternate, so we can see where those prices are.
[15:34] So some of the fundraising could go towards some of those other amenities as
[15:37] well.
[15:38] Okay. Thanks.
[15:41] Campgrounds was full. I saw that.
[15:43] Yeah.
[15:43] It was an amazing crowd. And so thank you, sir.
[15:45] Good.
[15:49] Drew, do we have something from-
[15:51] I don't have anything from Fire Chief.
[15:53] I just text him and I say, "If nothing else, can you text me your report?" So...
[15:57] Okay. Well, we'll-
[15:58] I spoke with him earlier today,
[16:00] but...
[16:02] We'll move on to Chief Hipman then.
[16:05] And I know we've got
[16:08] something from him already.
[16:11] Good evening, everybody.
[16:13] Glad to be back.
[16:16] I missed the last couple anyway.
[16:18] Hopefully Sergeant Wood did all right in my stead.
[16:20] I've heard good reports that he got you out of here on time, so
[16:26] Fairly uneventful month for us in May.
[16:29] Statistic-wise, we were a little higher than the previous month.
[16:31] Those stats are there.
[16:33] For our notable events, we did the $10 hot dog days again in all the school
[16:36] buildings, had a blast there. Assisted with traffic control for the Little League
[16:40] parade and for the John Wayne Days 5K run.
[16:45] We held testing for officer applicants for open positions and in
[16:49] the process of interviews at the moment.
[16:51] And
[16:52] one of the reasons I was gone at one of the meetings is I was at the annual Police
[16:55] Chiefs Conference, which is always an excellent round of training for all of us
[16:59] and a good reset.
[17:01] That's all I got.
[17:05] Any questions for Chief?
[17:07] Thank you, sir. We appreciate you being back.
[17:12] All right. Holly, you're up next.
[17:16] Good evening, everyone. As you can see from the report in front of you, in May,
[17:20] 33 properties were in violation of the code, and 37 came into
[17:24] compliance. Right of way jumping debris was the most commonly found violation for
[17:28] the month. The Planning and Zoning Commission met on May 26th.
[17:31] They denied a preliminary plat for the Hollowell One located at 411 East Lane
[17:35] Street, and recommended some changes to better align with the comprehensive plan.
[17:39] A special meeting was then held on May 29th for the resubmission of the
[17:43] Hollowell One preliminary plat with the recommended changes.
[17:46] The plat was then approved at this special meeting.
[17:49] The Board of Adjustment met on May 7th.
[17:51] A special exemption use permit for an in-home daycare located at 103 South 5th
[17:54] Avenue was denied.
[17:56] Variance requests for 115 West North
[18:00] Street, 419 South John Wayne Drive, four vacant lots located
[18:04] on Mildred Circle, and 602 West Hutchings Street were all approved
[18:08] as submitted.
[18:09] I have been diligently working on the 2027, 2028 Iowa Thriving
[18:13] Communities application, along with Ms. Marquart.
[18:17] The deadline is Friday, June 5th. The finalists will be notified on or
[18:21] about July 20thAnd I've included a flyer as to what the
[18:24] benefits are of this designation.
[18:26] Thank you.
[18:27] And that is all I have for you this evening.
[18:29] I'd be happy to answer any questions.
[18:32] Any questions or
[18:34] comments?
[18:38] Thank you.
[18:38] Thank you.
[18:39] Watch out for the deer.
[18:43] I will.
[18:44] Drew, I bring this to you.
[18:46] Yes, sir. I included my report in the packet, Council.
[18:50] For the period of May 18th through May 29th, operations-wise,
[18:55] worked with utilities and city
[18:59] staff on our ongoing projects. As Ryan mentioned, we're about ready to close
[19:02] out phase one and have been in talks with phase two.
[19:05] Of course, the wastewater treatment facility has been high on our list.
[19:10] The landfill, I attended the quarterly landfill meeting, and the
[19:14] board has elected to fill an assistant landfill
[19:17] manager position, which I worked diligently on this afternoon, shared with
[19:21] that board, expect that to be shared and posted shortly.
[19:25] We will host that, not holistically, but
[19:29] in concert with Indianola, Madison County, and other
[19:32] communities that our South Central Iowa landfill
[19:37] serves. So, that might show up on a newsfeed for
[19:40] you.
[19:43] Attended a food bank and Central Iowa meeting last
[19:47] Friday. It was very informative. I can tell you this, that
[19:52] the local food banks in Madison County, specifically Winterset,
[19:56] with our church and our PAW pantry, are well
[20:00] connected with the Des Moines area food banks.
[20:03] And the effort is to try and get
[20:06] information to people
[20:09] in a discreet
[20:11] and helping manner, because they realize that
[20:15] patrons that are attending their food banks are somewhat humbled
[20:19] or somewhat embarrassed, and that we talked a lot about
[20:22] that. How do we discreetly offer that assistance to people and retain their
[20:26] dignity and help them? So we're in a collaborative
[20:30] effort with the school, as well as the utility partners,
[20:34] to work with all of our people and identify demographics that might
[20:38] just be in need of a flyer or a QR code to find
[20:42] food in need so they can continue. So something that was
[20:46] kind of a little more touchy feely, I guess you could say, than normal
[20:49] operations.
[20:51] Projects, as I mentioned, wastewater treatment facility, we did cut that
[20:55] check for PAYF 10, after we got concurrence from USDA.
[21:00] I've been meeting with Travis Squires.
[21:01] We expect to get a rating
[21:04] from S&P,
[21:07] which we expect to be an A+ rating again.
[21:09] We did our due diligence meeting last week, which nothing changed from the last
[21:13] time we applied.
[21:15] So we'll hope to get the rating
[21:18] this week, and then put it out to sale next week, and then
[21:21] close well before the 30th of June.
[21:24] The lawyers at Dorsey, as well as Travis with PFM, believe that we
[21:28] still have authority based on the original
[21:31] February resolution where the council granted myself the authority
[21:35] to assume the note for so long as it didn't exceed
[21:39] 5.5%, and interest rates are in our favor there.
[21:42] So we look for a positive rating on the end of the week and a bond
[21:46] sale by the end of next week with a closing.
[21:48] And the big concern is to get that revenue available to our account.
[21:52] Whereas we've been paying out of our sewer fund,
[21:56] and we'd like to get that reconciled and balanced before we get to the end of year
[22:00] books. So that's the precipice of that July, or excuse me,
[22:05] June 30 date. So good report from last week's meeting.
[22:10] We did get all employees, that desired to elect, which all did,
[22:14] for the majority, or continued as they previously had, for our
[22:18] enrollment. Again, with our benefits package we offer sponsored by Holmes
[22:22] Murphy and negotiated with IGHCP, which again is
[22:26] a 1.8% increase just on the health insurance,
[22:31] which the national average is anywhere between
[22:34] 10% and 15% annually. So still continues to be a
[22:37] positive cohort that we joined three years
[22:40] ago. Finance,
[22:44] been working with CLA. They'll be in town next week,
[22:47] completing our audits, so looking forward to meet them in person instead of on
[22:51] Zoom. And I also included, and Mary Ann was the first one to see it,
[22:55] based on some requests, I think it was Council Member Fletcher, I can't remember,
[22:59] to correlate the revenue source and department and then
[23:03] normal expenditure line item. You might have saw that laminated sheet in there.
[23:07] And what the question was is as our department heads code their bills, it
[23:11] all makes sense to us as we do our accounting system.
[23:16] It's a quick reference guide that you can literally decipher what a code is
[23:19] by the revenue source, the department, and then the general accounting
[23:24] practices. So hopefully that's helpful and everybody will get a chance to see it
[23:28] as they have the claims, and I can also email it to you.
[23:31] So that was the work completed over the last couple of weeks, and I'll answer any
[23:35] questions you may have.
[23:38] Thank you, Drew. I was at a meeting at St.
[23:41] Joseph's during food pantry hours, and
[23:45] I was amazed by the number of folks in there that time,
[23:49] and then just
[23:52] had a discussion Sunday, and
[23:56] evidently that was close to a record, and those numbers seem to be continuing to
[24:00] climb, so glad you're helping spread the word on
[24:04] that.
[24:05] And just to clarify, we're working on the temporary construction loan for
[24:10] the sewer plant-
[24:10] Yes, sir
[24:11] ... not anything long-term, just-
[24:12] Correct
[24:13] ... till we get her up.
[24:14] Interim financing.
[24:16] So that's it for me. Anybody else for
[24:19] administrator Bard?
[24:23] Okay.So
[24:27] that brings us to number nine, resolutions and actions,
[24:31] which is,
[24:34] and I just was looking at it, this is for the library project
[24:37] to
[24:38] do the final approval there.
[24:41] So,
[24:42] Drew or Dave, do either one of you want to say anything about this?
[24:45] I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
[24:50] A resolution approving standard form of agreement with Hildreth Construction
[24:54] Services LLC. That would be Resolution number
[24:58] 2026-28. So,
[25:04] without any other comment, I guess I look for a motion to
[25:08] approve Resolution 26-28.
[25:12] I'll make that motion.
[25:15] Second.
[25:17] Any discussion about this particular item?
[25:22] All right, let's have a vote.
[25:24] Coker? Yes. Ferrell? Yes. Eller?
[25:26] Yes.
[25:26] Fletcher?
[25:27] Yes.
[25:27] Mesor?
[25:28] Yes.
[25:29] And I will then
[25:33] comment two things here on council considerations
[25:37] and discussions. First one being, I received a letter about
[25:41] trees. I'll forward it on to Drew, and
[25:44] Skye, and Ryan about a couple of comments.
[25:48] I think we're probably doing a lot of what the citizen was concerned about.
[25:52] We just need to maybe work on
[25:56] talking. So it was certainly a friendly letter.
[25:58] It's aspirational by nature. And then,
[26:04] I sent a note to the young couple that had talked to
[26:08] us about chickens last meeting and
[26:12] said I would continue to research that issue.
[26:17] So that is the end of my
[26:20] points here.
[26:24] Anybody else have anything?
[26:27] Entertain a motion to-
[26:28] Hold on.
[26:28] Oh.
[26:29] I did.
[26:30] Uh...
[26:33] Now, Holly's gotten through her thing, and you and I had a conversation, I think,
[26:37] but last meeting,
[26:39] I asked for some numbers
[26:41] for,
[26:44] uh...
[26:44] The rental agreements.
[26:46] Rentals.
[26:47] That's right. I'll email them to you in the morning.
[26:48] So-
[26:49] I forgot to pass that on to her.
[26:50] Yeah. Could you do that?
[26:51] Yep.
[26:51] Just, or get it, just whenever, you know
[26:54] Absolutely. I'll email it to you.
[26:55] Yeah.
[26:55] I'll send it to the council.
[26:56] Yeah. And it was nice to hear after that last meeting, we actually had a couple of-
[27:01] We did
[27:01] ... people actually step up to be blind on their own.
[27:04] Absolutely.
[27:06] So,
[27:07] and then we have a
[27:11] workshop meeting coming up-
[27:12] Yep
[27:12] ... sometime, don't we? We haven't really nailed down the date yet.
[27:14] Pending, I have... Yeah, great. Glad you brought that up.
[27:18] I'm looking at June 10th, looking somewhere between the 9 and
[27:22] 10 o'clock hour, starting and going till 2:00,
[27:25] 2:30, whatever that time, open end at the end. Mr.
[27:29] Matstof will be available that day. I have to get the venue, maybe calling Mr.
[27:33] Hargrove.
[27:34] But we'll find a spot to host and...
[27:37] So I haven't got the venue, but I will send that out via email, your
[27:40] availability on June 10th,
[27:43] which is a workday.
[27:44] Okay. Thank you for bringing that up.
[27:48] Hadn't brought it up yet because I didn't have the place yet, so...
[27:50] Yeah, I just know it's getting tight on time.
[27:52] Yep.
[27:52] I didn't remember, but I knew it was...
[27:53] I thought it was, we were trying to do it before Mike and them were
[27:56] gone. But if it wasn't, it was that way.
[28:00] Yep.
[28:01] And then, and then did the,
[28:05] subject matter is going to be?
[28:07] Senate File 2472, just like we did with 718 when that came out and
[28:11] impacted property taxes. We'll have Matt Stoffel here talking about what they refer
[28:15] to as divisions of a code. And so if you
[28:19] recall, last time we produced that, there
[28:23] were over 20 divisions in House File 17.
[28:26] I don't even know how many are in the 88 pages right now.
[28:29] And some were impactful, and some were potentially, and some
[28:33] were non-impactful. And we kind of went through them.
[28:37] We kind of cull or filter the ones that are non-pertinent to our
[28:41] situation. So council is very well aware of what
[28:45] this impact will look like and discussions,
[28:49] about House File 2472. So
[28:53] that will be the intent of it.
[28:58] Proof positive that we went to the meeting.
[29:01] We are photographed.
[29:03] We know we're right. I've been there. It's just...
[29:07] All right, now I will accept a motion to adjourn.
[29:10] So moved.
[29:12] Second.
[29:13] Unanimous consent.
[29:14] Aye.
[29:14] Aye.
[29:14] There we go.
[29:17] We just have a record
[29:19] for
