[1:18]

[1:20]
» You're more than welcome, sir. Thank

[1:23]
staff reports public works as
>> um I think you all know that they
[1:27]
started on the train last week. Um right
now what they're doing is they've got
[1:32]
one of they've got the caboose
completely enclosed and they started
[1:36]
sand blasting today. Um their goal is to
get some more scaffolding up so they can
[1:41]
get two cars under there. And then what
they're going to do is sand blast those
[1:46]
and probably prime them and then maybe
scoot them out of there and move the
[1:49]
other two under the scaffolding too. Um
they're they're waiting on the other
[1:54]
scaffolding to come. Um last week uh
they taped the windows and stuff and and
[1:59]
everything and got it ready to sand
blast. There were two guys here last
[2:02]
week. A third person showed up today. Um
and they're going to work every day.
[2:07]
It's not raining. So um I think they
worked Friday, Saturday, or Saturday,
[2:11]
Sunday, and Monday this past weekend. So
>> Yep. I saw them here.
[2:14]
» Yep. Yep. So they're going to work every
day they can. Um the street department's
[2:18]
still finishing up uh some storm sewer
work. They add some cementing and
[2:22]
concreting they did on Crescent Drive.
They got a few other uh storm sewers to
[2:26]
do as well. They've got some parking
spots in they're going to finish up
[2:30]
painting yet. Um and for instance out
here on North South Park Place and over
[2:36]
by the theater they got that most of
that swept. Um I think they're going to
[2:40]
finish that up tomorrow and then they'll
paint the stripes there and then they've
[2:43]
got some seal coating left including um
half of the parking lot west of city
[2:48]
hall here.
And once they get done with that, then
[2:51]
they'll be done chip sealing for the
year.
[2:54]
Uh sewer departments um getting ready.
We're going to have to haul some sludge
[2:59]
out again. We do every fall. Um right
now they're at near capacity with the
[3:04]
the sludge tank. And once and the crops
are starting to go out. A lot of people
[3:08]
are chopping and stuff. So once the
crops are out, um they've got the the
[3:12]
gentleman ready to start hauling that
out and um um get that emptied up.
[3:17]
» Where does that all go? Uh we've got
farm fields around here. Uh we've got
[3:20]
agreements with the farmers and and um
the map all has to go to the DNR and
[3:26]
stuff. So it's not random or I mean it
just it it's it's got a schedule so to
[3:31]
speak. So
>> nutrient management plan.
[3:34]
» Yep. Yep. And then the last thing I'm
I'm not going to be at the next meeting.
[3:38]
So um I'll be out of town and if
something pops up I'll be able to join
[3:42]
by phone if necessary. So that's what I
have.
[3:45]
» All right. Thanks Dave.
>> You're welcome. Police.
[3:53]
» Howdy y'all. Good evening. I'm
Lieutenant Sanios Cresco Police
[3:57]
Department. Um you got our um August
calls. Uh we had a few um kind of spikes
[4:04]
in calls. Our animal calls. We had 22
for August. We had 17 civil calls. Uh
[4:12]
medical calls we had 28. Information
miscellaneous calls up almost 50.
[4:18]
Um here on traffic stops also we had uh
64 uh more uh to add on. We're at 627
[4:26]
for the year for that. Um and yeah, some
calls kind of a busy month for August.
[4:33]
So
um I spoke to officer Kitchen. Um he's
[4:38]
doing great in the academy on week two.
seems to be enjoying it. Um I'm hoping
[4:43]
he's representing us all good down there
and uh seems to be having a lot of fun
[4:47]
down there and enjoying and learning a
lot. Um another thing that I also have
[4:53]
is we got approved for our um GTSP
program, which is the Governor's Traffic
[4:59]
Safety Bureau. this uh for goals for 27
is we got approved for $6,500 for uh
[5:08]
approved hours for OWI enforcement and
6,500 in general enforcement.
[5:15]
And then equipment we got approved for
4,800
[5:19]
uh dollars for two new incar cameras uh
or excuse me, two incar radars and then
[5:26]
two new PVTs.
So, the way the 6500 works is um those
[5:33]
are based on hourly rates and we can get
up to $6,500 worth of extra wages. Um
[5:40]
and how that works is we have to do that
strictly on our off time and not while
[5:45]
we are actively on uh our normal shifts.
So, we have to come in during our off
[5:51]
days or personal time to conduct these
um uh these different projects and
[5:58]
whatnot. Uh I know Officer Rush right
now, he's the one that kind of
[6:03]
kickstarted this back up for us again.
Um he's got a few um
[6:10]
uh end of semester project for we're
going to try to enforce uh over near the
[6:16]
school area where we're going to have
cell phones, speed, and seat belts is
[6:20]
what we're going to enforce mostly. Um
and then for a few holiday events, we're
[6:25]
going to try to do more of the OWI um
enforcement during those times.
[6:31]
» Sounds good. Any questions about the
GTSB program? I can try to answer most
[6:37]
of it and officer Rush is definitely a
little bit more knowledgeable about it.
[6:40]
This is kind of what he's getting, you
know, giving me. So
[6:43]
» GTSV stands for
>> the Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau
[6:47]
Bureau. So
>> why do you think the number of calls is
[6:52]
up so dramatically? Some of these are
pretty nice weather
[6:56]
and a lot of time and the animal calls
is we're always going to have a lot of
[7:01]
those. That could be anywhere from a
barking dog complaint to a dog running
[7:05]
loose or in this case cat or some kind
of animal. Um that's the reason why it's
[7:11]
all lumped up into that one. So anytime
a dog barks and we get called on it, we
[7:16]
log that down.
>> Yeah. Even things like welfare checks
[7:19]
went from 20 to 118. Civil calls went
from 17 to 117.
[7:25]
» That's the year to dates.
>> Yeah. The second one is the year to
[7:28]
date. Yeah.
>> I see.
[7:30]
» Yeah. If we did that, we're definitely
going to need a few more out.
[7:33]
» Wow.
>> Yeah. The the one thing that I'm glad
[7:36]
some people were doing was a suspicious
activity. That was 19. Uh we definitely
[7:41]
encourage um the public if you see
something, say some, call us. It's what
[7:45]
we're here for. Um, we'd rather check in
and be nothing than not get called and
[7:50]
something, you know, serious happens.
So, definitely encourage anybody to see
[7:56]
something, say something, call
something, call us.
[7:59]
» You've been getting many calls on sick
animals like that hairless fox that's
[8:02]
running around on the north side of
town.
[8:04]
» I have not seen that a long while. Um,
>> he's around, man.
[8:08]
» Is he still around? I We haven't got any
calls on him and it's been
[8:12]
» I think last year was probably the last
one I've got. Yeah. So,
[8:15]
» no, he's up. He was We saw him
yesterday. Mike's voice.
[8:17]
» Yeah, I've seen him several times. We
had him on camera one night where he was
[8:20]
in the backyard.
>> Might has become the new city mascot for
[8:23]
how right now.
>> There's been two of them in our house
[8:26]
all since spring, but I haven't seen him
for about two weeks now.
[8:29]
» I saw it. Uh yeah, pretty tough looking.
>> Yeah, it's I I heard it's uh definitely
[8:35]
seen better days. So, but it sounds like
it might have been a female maybe had a
[8:38]
litter.
>> They get the male.
[8:40]
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. So there's nothing wrong with
[8:44]
losing your hair either, but
>> nothing wrong with that at all,
[8:47]
actually. So,
>> all right. Thanks, Lieutenant.
[8:51]
» Thank you all. Thanks.
>> I will also add for him, um, on the
[8:55]
claims list is two new vehicles. Well,
not new, new to us vehicles. They are
[9:00]
» Ford,
>> two Ford Explorers. Yep. Um
[9:04]
hopefully I don't know if you and Chief
got that figured out on
[9:08]
» the payment, but hopefully hope
hopefully here by next week is kind of
[9:12]
what the plan is, but
>> and they're going to deliver them for
[9:15]
us.
>> Yeah, I didn't want to overstep on
[9:18]
chief's toes on that. So I didn't bring
it up, but uh we also ordered new
[9:23]
holsters for our fire our new firearms
and they should hopefully be here sooner
[9:27]
than later, but they have to custom make
them to the firearm that we uh chose. So
[9:33]
hopefully those come sooner than later.
>> Okay. Thank you.
[9:38]
» Awesome. Thank y'all.
>> Thanks.
[9:40]
» Administration. Um with the age related
project finishing up, I thought it might
[9:44]
be a good idea council wants to take a
tour of the sewer plant. Um anybody
[9:49]
available next Tuesday or Wednesday at
1:00?
[9:53]
» Tuesday 1:00
>> or Wednesday.
[9:56]
» Do you guys want to check and get back
to me? I can send you the dates after
[9:59]
and just to confirm. Okay. Um, the
sealed bids for the sewer equipment are
[10:04]
due at 2 p.m. on September 21st. We did
give the top three biders the option to
[10:09]
increase their bid after they've been
opened. Um, the street department is
[10:13]
going to put on one of an up one of the
upcoming auctions a bucket for their old
[10:17]
skid loader and a mower for their old
tractor that we no longer need. CIP
[10:22]
packets have been handed out to all
department heads. We've been busy
[10:25]
working on the annual financial report
trying to get the new system to be able
[10:29]
to kick out in the order that we need to
enter into the department of management
[10:33]
website. They also changed their debt
portal that we'll have to use now. So,
[10:38]
we'll have to use that. Busy updating
the EPA emergency readiness plan and I
[10:42]
hope to have that on the next meeting as
well as the street finance report. And a
[10:47]
week and a half ago, that front window
somehow broke. Um the estimate is about
[10:52]
$1,400 to fix. Um they have ordered it.
They thought it'd be about two to three
[10:56]
weeks. Fortunately, it was double paned
so we don't have to have any plywood or
[11:00]
anything up. So,
okay, that's
[11:04]
» any committee updates.
>> We had a economic development meeting
[11:09]
three weeks ago. So, most everything
that was discussed there is old news.
[11:13]
Um, one of the topics brought up at the
meeting was hospital. They picked up a
[11:17]
midwife, I believe, that is currently in
place up there working and be a great
[11:22]
addition to the hospital and other
county's losses are gain. So, but other
[11:29]
than that, that's about it.
>> Okay. At this time, I'm going to
[11:33]
recognize Lonnie Lahan for being with
the street department for eight years.
[11:40]
And no one's in the audience. So I don't
think we have any comments from the
[11:44]
audience.
So business number one, first reading of
[11:48]
propo proposed ordinance number 536
pertaining to water rates. And so I
[11:53]
added this one because um about a year
and a half ago, we changed the dates. So
[11:58]
during business hours, it said 8 to 4
that they would turn and turn on and
[12:02]
turn off the water. With now with the
union contract, it's 3:30. So this is
[12:06]
updating the hours that are their normal
business hours. So that's the only thing
[12:09]
I changed on it.
>> So do I need to read this?
[12:13]
» Yes.
>> Okay. Ordinance number 536, an ordinance
[12:17]

city of Kresco, Iowa by amending

receiving certified and municipal clerk
cler certification. I put this back on.
[14:34]
My certification did come through. So I
sent you guys each a copy of the letter.
[14:38]
Um and that would have been backdated to
July 13th
[14:49]
and earlier I did send out the
comparisons that I had previously given
[14:52]
as well.
[14:57]
Uh, make a motion.
>> Motion of what?
[15:02]
The lines are blank. So, I would need a
dollar amount. And if you wanted to go
[15:08]
with the date for something different,
[15:13]
» we have that discussion when we have
full counsel with the mayor. Is that
[15:16]
something that's got to be passed
tonight or
[15:19]
» next meeting?
>> Pass it. Okay. Is that what everybody
[15:22]
else wants to do? I think so. Okay.
[15:28]
So we'll table number four until our
next meeting.
[15:32]
Number five, discuss storm sewer on
Stock Avenue.
[15:36]
Dave,
>> so excuse me.
[15:42]
Um
[15:46]
talked with um Lonnie a little bit more.
I talked with Lonnie a little bit more
[15:51]
about this today and and Brett Meamer as
well. And um
[15:57]
it is a little wet down on the far end
of
[16:00]
stock
and
[16:04]
you know it could be such a thing that
that maybe we should go all the way down
[16:08]
that road with storm sewer if we if we
do something. I talked to Brent and this
[16:13]
afternoon Brent memered and asked him if
he had considered that when he run the
[16:18]
grade for this small section of the
whole street and he had not and he was
[16:25]
going to see if he could find some guys
that could do it this afternoon and let
[16:28]
me know. I haven't heard back from him
yet. Um
[16:34]
the the other thing too is if we just
decide to do this small part of it, the
[16:39]
250ome feet I think it is um it could be
such a thing that the street department
[16:45]
would be able to do it as well. Um so
then we would would not have to hire
[16:50]
mess to do it. I don't know. depends on
um
[16:56]
I guess what we find out on the on the
grade and timing and stuff too. So
[17:01]
» So you said right now it's currently
sits at 250 ft, right?
[17:04]
» Is roughly.
>> Yep. Yep.
[17:06]
» And if that's something that our guys
can do in a relatively
[17:10]
short period of time,
>> you know, we don't get into uh I'm sure
[17:14]
they're familiar with it, but if we get
into limestone and stuff, that'll be an
[17:18]
issue. it
>> just soon have our guys do it and get it
[17:21]
done.
>> Right.
[17:23]
» But we wouldn't be doing any our guys
wouldn't be doing any of his work.
[17:26]
» No. No.
>> Right.
[17:30]
» Right. So if if there was a line there
today and and a homeowner or property
[17:34]
owner I should say wanted to tie into
it, it would be their expense whether
[17:37]
it's water line, sewer line or storm
sewer to get it from their property to
[17:42]
the main.
>> So they'd have to run it
[17:45]
» they would have to run under the street.
Yep. Yep. and fix the street for
[17:48]
instance, things like that, too. And
that's a chip sealed street, so they
[17:51]
would fill it back in with asphalt. But,
um, yeah. Yeah.
[17:56]
» And we'd probably put a couple inlets in
on that north side, too, somewhere or at
[18:00]
least one, I would think.
>> Correct. Yep. Yeah.
[18:03]
» Wouldn't that be a T or something?
>> Well, I mean, just surface water to get
[18:07]
down.
>> Yeah. Yep. And there's not much surface
[18:09]
water on that side of the road
>> cuz it's up.
[18:12]
» Um, it's it Yeah. I mean, it goes it
goes downstream. So,
[18:16]
um,
>> if we did it all the way down, how many
[18:19]
feet is that?
>> Oh, I looked at that today. Um,
[18:25]
500ish.
[18:28]
» Yeah, at least twice as um I think it's
more than that. I'd have to look again.
[18:33]
We looked at it today. Um,
you know, there's no curb and gutter in
[18:38]
that street, so that doesn't help any of
the drainage. It doesn't direct the
[18:41]
water anywhere. And um we have a lot of
streets like that. So
[18:48]
um
>> why don't we get that narrowed down, get
[18:50]
some get some solid information,
>> and let's put this thing to bed.
[18:54]
» Okay.
>> Do you think you can have that
[18:57]
information for us by our next meeting?
>> I would assume so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I
[19:01]
mean, I guess it is a short two weeks
now, but this is like the third Monday
[19:05]
this week, it seems like. But
>> you won't be here in two weeks.
[19:07]
» I won't be here in two weeks. If it's
such a thing, I might be able to call in
[19:11]
if we know what's going on.
>> As long as we got the information, the
[19:14]
costing the footage.
>> Yeah.
[19:16]
» Yeah.
>> Okay.
[19:18]
» So, there's enough depth on the pipe
that now we could do the whole 500.
[19:22]
» We don't know that yet. That's what we
got to figure out.
[19:24]
» Okay.
>> Yeah.
[19:26]
» But the if we're doing some of that
work, that takes off of, you know, what
[19:31]
Meert's bid was that they would be
doing, we would be doing
[19:34]
» potentially. I mean, the pipe and stuff
would all be there
[19:38]
» and and any drains and stuff, but
>> yeah, I don't see it on these bids that
[19:41]
the the feet are what you were talking
about.
[19:43]
» Well, on on the correct bid shows 260 ft
of 12-in dual wall pipe.
[19:51]
So, that's that's basically how much it
would be, 260 ft.
[19:55]
» Next page
>> on this one. Yeah.
[19:58]
» So,
>> and even done that 260 foot this year
[20:02]
and we decided in a few years to go
farther. Mhm.
[20:04]
» I mean, we got the ground work laid.
>> Y just dig in and
[20:08]
» Yeah. Yeah. We wouldn't necessarily have
to do it all at once, don't we?
[20:10]
» Yeah.
>> So,
[20:13]
» if we eventually pave that street, the
drains on the other side of the street
[20:18]
on the south side would go under the
street and hook in the pipe on the other
[20:22]
side.
>> Yep. Yep.
[20:25]
» Yep. And and yeah, curb and gutter and
whatever. And yeah, like I said, we have
[20:29]
a lot of streets without curb and
gutter. So,
[20:32]
» so we right now basically we're going to
do is get the cost for
[20:35]
» we Yeah, we can do that. Yeah. Yeah.
>> And we'll discuss at our next meeting.
[20:40]
» Yeah. Okay.
>> Thanks, Dave.
[20:42]
» You're welcome.
>> Okay. Number six, discuss cameras for
[20:45]
city hall and possible motion to install
cameras. Um over the last couple months,
[20:50]
we've had a couple issues with um feisty
customers, I guess you could say. And I
[20:55]
know with the police being here, um, we
just thought maybe it's time for us to
[20:59]
get cameras. We're the last building to
have them here at city hall. So, we did
[21:03]
get two quotes. Um, Bob's came in at
3953.
[21:08]
Um, it'd be $600 more to add 60 days
worth of storage versus 30. And then,
[21:16]
um, we also got one from Drifless
Security. Um, theirs is a little bit
[21:20]
more higher technology and that's
$9,400. um that also has a kill switch.
[21:25]
So if you're doing um a close session,
you can turn off the cameras. The other
[21:29]
one does not, but the only people who
have access to the camera system would
[21:32]
be me and Tim. Um so
>> who is Drifless Security? They don't
[21:37]
even put their address or anything.
>> They're out of Decor. They've done quite
[21:40]
a bit of work over at the um theater.
>> Seems strange to send a bid in
[21:46]
» and they don't have their address or
anything. looking through that.
[21:52]
» Well, I mean, we definitely we
definitely need to to move along them
[21:56]
lines,
>> right?
[21:58]
» I mean, it's it's crazy that this the
only public area in town that
[22:03]
» don't have cameras.
>> The police do have a couple downstairs
[22:06]
and there is one at the entryway. This
would put one I believe it's at the
[22:10]
front of the building. So, it catch
basically the whole street and possibly
[22:14]
the side street. There'd be one at the
back that would catch the whole back and
[22:17]
the back corners and everything. And
then there'd be at least one or two at
[22:20]
city inside city hall.
>> But we're going to catch this counter
[22:22]
area.
>> Yep. There'll be one at the counter
[22:25]
area. Yep. And they will all have sound
as well. So if there's any yelling,
[22:29]
screaming, it would all be caught on
camera.
[22:31]
» Sound activated or just all the time on
>> I believe it's all the time. And Tim did
[22:36]
review the um proposals and he was fine
with the one from Bob's Electric. Well,
[22:42]
I'll make that proposal that to go
forward with the the one from Bob's.
[22:48]
Let's get it done.
>> I'll second that.
[22:50]
» Roll call.
>> Bassan,
[22:52]
» yes.
>> Carmen,
[22:53]
» yes.
>> Greener,
[22:54]
» yes.
>> Wolf,
[22:55]
» yes.
>> McConnell,
[22:56]
» yes.
>> Okay. Number seven, discuss mileage logs
[23:00]
for city vehicles.
>> Um, when our auditor was here, she did
[23:03]
recommend that we start having mileage
logs on every vehicle that uses our gas
[23:07]
cards. Um, currently the only one is
actually Dave's.
[23:12]
» Um,
>> so this is a deficiency from the audit.
[23:14]
» It's a recommendation that she
recommended. She's not writing us up for
[23:17]
anything or anything. She's just
recommending that it's something that we
[23:20]
look into and possibly implement.
>> So describe the content that they're
[23:26]
looking for in these logs. They just
daily mileage.
[23:28]
» You would every time you fill up. So
when Dave fills up, he writes down the
[23:32]
date, the mileage on the vehicle, and
how many gallons. turn it in monthly and
[23:36]
» Wendy. Yeah. The book in in my pickup
started in 1993.
[23:41]
» Yeah.
>> Nothing wild.
[23:44]
» So it'll be there for another hundred
years. But
[23:46]
» and this is every motorized city vehicle
>> that would have a gas card. Yep.
[23:52]
» So like a
>> So all your dump trucks, uh, ATVs, the
[23:56]
tractors.
>> Yep.
[23:58]
» Probably not the tractors, the that
equipment. I wouldn't think would
[24:02]
» they all I believe they all have their
own specific gas cart.
[24:06]
» So I think on those is ours
>> probably ours on a tractor for instance
[24:10]
but
>> Mhm.
[24:12]
» it's just their recommendation. Um
nobody's done anything. There hasn't
[24:15]
ever been any question on it. It's just
something that she's recommending that
[24:18]
we look into and possibly implement.
Well, I mean, I want us to go ahead, but
[24:23]
let's make sure that we do a learning
process for everybody because all of a
[24:26]
sudden, you know, you do something
different. Everybody thinks that we're
[24:30]
tracking them,
>> right?
[24:31]
» So, I mean, we got to do a, you know,
>> all the same books and all the same
[24:35]
whatever.
>> Some training,
[24:37]
» right?
>> You know, passing information on this
[24:39]
part of the audit.
>> Yeah.
[24:41]
» And all our diesel fueling stuff is
purchased through Quickstar, I believe.
[24:45]
We don't tank anything here, do we?
>> The exception is if somebody is out of
[24:48]
town at a training. Um, they might fill
up down in De Moines or whatnot
[24:52]
depending on where their gas tank's at.
>> But there's a book in the car though,
[24:56]
right?
>> In his vehicle, yes. But like if he's
[24:59]
filling up down in De Moines for
training, there's not one in theirs.
[25:03]
» Okay.
>> Does Quickar have an option to put in
[25:07]
your odometer reading?
>> They do not. We did check on it.
[25:10]
» Okay.
>> They they they do.
[25:12]
» They told us they did not.
>> Well, I've used a Quickstar card with
[25:16]
the a mileage thing. Enter your mileage.
So,
[25:21]
» it might be required of your card maybe
or something, right?
[25:24]
» Well, it was it was on a it was on a
company card. So,
[25:27]
» I know like the fleet a lot of the fleet
cards do it, but ours are specifically
[25:31]
QuickStar issued and they don't have
that option for their specific card.
[25:36]
» Do they work at anywhere other than
Quickstar?
[25:38]
» They only work at Quickstar.
>> Okay.
[25:41]
» So,
>> why?
[25:44]
» So, yeah.
>> Yeah. Let's proceed, but let's make sure
[25:46]
we're training. Yeah, we do go about it
right and everybody's
[25:50]
» okay
>> understands it.
[25:51]
» Well, it sounds like it's pretty basic.
It's just the date on
[25:55]
» date, mileage, gallon or date, mileage,
gallons, and initials,
[25:59]
» right? And it might not be something
that we check every single month, but
[26:02]
just maybe R Wendy maybe picks five of
them on random each month to just do a
[26:07]
quick spot check.
>> And that'll satisfy the audit.
[26:10]
» Mhm. Is it possible to do like a Google
Docs or a form or some of that effect?
[26:17]
» Possibly.
>> I know all of ours have computers in our
[26:19]
cars and
>> Okay.
[26:21]
» Just be easy to kind of be instantaneous
and you'd have everything right then and
[26:25]
there. Is that a possibility?
>> Should be. Yeah.
[26:28]
» Just kind of thinking out loud, I guess.
>> Yeah. I mean, we're definitely open to
[26:32]
whatever works best for everybody. I
mean, we don't want to make it, you
[26:35]
know, too cumbersome or what We get a
any kind of a government discount or
[26:40]
corporate discount, anything through
Quickstar, we just pay pump price.
[26:42]
» Yep. They give us a discount.
>> They do.
[26:44]
» Yep.
>> So, I mean, and this is a topic for
[26:47]
another discussion, but is it worth it
to put in for number two for the graders
[26:52]
and and tractors and stuff to have a
tank rather than
[26:56]
is there enough cost difference in that?
>> I don't
[27:00]
» that I don't
>> maybe down the road. It's something we
[27:04]
should take a look at, but
>> Right.
[27:06]
So, you need a motion on this.
>> He already did a motion.
[27:09]
» I'll second it.
>> Roll call. McConnell?
[27:11]
» Yes.
>> Bassan?
[27:12]
» Yes.
>> Carmen?
[27:13]
» Yes.
>> Greener?
[27:14]
» Yes.
>> Wolf?
[27:15]
» Yes.
>> Okay. If there isn't anything else, I'll
[27:19]
take a motion to adjurnn.
>> So, moved.
[27:21]
» Second.
>> Roll call. Greener,
[27:23]
» yes.
>> McConnell,
[27:24]
» yes.
>> Wolf,
[27:25]
» yes.
>> Carmen,
[27:26]
» yes.
>> Yes.
[27:28]
» Meeting adjourned.
