15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:20,320
don hoffman was instrumental
in the incorporation of the city of

16
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:25,200
cresthill back in 1960
he was also one of the original eight

17
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,520
aldermen
that were elected

18
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:35,200

good evening mayor council you have in

00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,919
front of you a change order
from kd landscaping

67
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:28,400
out of rockdale this is a change order
to the memorial garden this was

68
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:35,199
discussed at the last work session
what it does it is it adds to the design

69
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:39,199
of the memorial garden a centerpiece of
three columns

70
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:44,320
you have renderings
in the packet and this was reviewed by

71
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:50,039
the owner of kd landscaping last week
so the change order is

72
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,039
in the amount of

73
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,319
forty thousand seven hundred and eighty
five dollars so that includes the basalt

74
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:02,639
columns
and the brick work around it it will add

75
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,400
to what's already been designed for the
memorial garden

76
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,400
question came up at the work session as
to whether or not the columns will be

77
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:14,400
lit and they will be lit but the
question was also asked that the

78
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,280
lighting would be colored lighting and
kd landscape is not putting in the

79
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,880
lighting that's being done by the
electrical contractor so last week i

80
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:24,400
asked kirk wilkins
to find out if it's going to be colored

81
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:30,000
lighting and he's checking with the
contractor and hasn't heard back yet but

82
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:34,479
i'll let you know once i find out
and if the current

83
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,720
specs don't call for colored lighting i
will ask them to change that if they can

84
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:41,199
and include colored lighting for the
columns

85
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:48,479

advertising for a system manager right
now because i've seen anybody say the

97
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,639

email that you sent out

00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:07,520
like it's on my telephone at home
there's something supposed to start i

104
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,840
thought it was an assistant manager that
was starting two weeks

105
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:17,199
that well what i had mentioned in that
report was considering bringing out an

106
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,879
interim temporary person yeah but no i'm
not going to do that

107
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,919
that's being put on hold right oh okay
because i just wonder because i think

108

the council of the voters for that and i
just wondered about that right no

00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:30,319
nothing's moving forward on that oh okay
all right then

110
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,440
anybody else this won't work anyway that
works

111
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,399
i just want to follow up on the memorial
garden just if there's any confusion out

112
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:43,599
there
all of the stones that are currently

113
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:47,040
there which we have almost 1175 names on
all of the stones that are out there

114
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,880
that will all be transported and
transferred from its present location

115
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,880
here at 1610 plainfield road to the new

be in june
um we are unsure at this time but

119
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,959

strong possibility that we're going

120
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:15,760
we're going to need to have one more
memorial day ceremony here at our

121
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:20,080

sense to have it here uh with still some

00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,079
getting a lot of calls in the public
works we're trying to get around as fast

162
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,720
as possible but unfortunately with the
weather we're currently getting uh

163
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:19,200
you don't you don't patch in the rain
um so but we're getting out there trying

164
00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:23,120
to do as much as possible done and we we
see it every day too so we're out there

165
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:27,120
without any questions
questions of public works yeah how about

166
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:30,639
that stop sign on uh getting found by
that business that was determined uh ron

167
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,600
weedman looked into that that was
determined that was a private

168
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,800
drive
so that would be their responsibility to

169
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:41,519
put that up
i thought ron said that was our street

170
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,079
now i like to i'll check with him when
he told me it was that was a private

171
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,240
drive
uh because it's it's just an easement to

172
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:51,440
go back there
so

173
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:55,120
okay maybe gotta have to repeat them
open up themselves yeah that'd be up to

174
00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:59,120
them if they do want to put something
there they're not regulated to but if

175
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:03,360
they we could ask them to
okay any other questions no just uh just

176
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,800
remember
the telephone

177
00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:12,160
um
the comed

178
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:14,639
polls the gilroy or all of them on weber

179
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,000

187
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,519

259
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:16,400
and our final officer that i believe
since 2014

260

graduations that they have handled
so i speak highly of all of them

263
00:19:31,919 --> 00:19:40,400
i can tell you since for the last seven
years now officer heidi outlaw

264
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:44,160
has done a tremendous job also
the way she interacts with the students

265
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,760
she teaches the fourth grade students at
richland grade school and she teaches

266
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:54,559

school about 150 students each year

267
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:57,760
coming out of both schools
you know it's a difficult task in the

268
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,720
environment and the social climate that
we live in today but i will tell you

269
00:19:59,919 --> 00:20:06,559
that
heidi has touched many many

270
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,840
hearts of these young children
i'll i believe she'll be the first to

271
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,799
tell you that she has not touched
everybody

272
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:17,600
but
i will tell you that

273
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:17,600
the hearts

274
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,520
but i will tell you it's a very
difficult job it's a very difficult job

275
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:27,440
in today's climate
but she does a fantastic job and she's

276
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:33,360
earned their respect and she's gained
many friends and you know if she can

277
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:38,400
change uh several several lives and keep
people off of drugs and alcohol then the

278
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,799
program is worth it and it's worth it
the city of crestville sponsors

279
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:47,520

and also the cresthill alliance club has

280

00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:44,400
distinguished line of officers here that
have taught dare so i hope to follow in

293
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:48,799

00:21:53,919 --> 00:21:59,360
i've met
amazing kids amazing parents and i work

297

with some of the best teachers on the
planet at both cheney and richland i

298
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,000
couldn't do this without them i couldn't
do this without you guys and i certainly

299
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:10,480
couldn't do it without this amazing guy
standing behind me without the support

300
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,320
of our deputy chiefs and our chief i
wouldn't be able to do this so again

301
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:18,320
thank you very much i really appreciate
this on behalf of all of the dare

302
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:22,320
officers we've ever had i want to thank
you guys and the mayor for giving us the

303
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,559
proclamation for dare day
thank you

304
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:33,919
this is uh obviously a program we've had
for many years

305
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:38,640
you know i've seen firsthand uh how they
interact with their instructors even

306
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,200
years later i've seen our past deputy
chief who could talk to the kids knew

307
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,000
them
and they would share information they

308
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,120
were they were free to talk to the
officer so this is just one more program

309
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,240
that
provides that outreach to our community

310
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:54,480
and you know our goal is to keep
improving and making more progress in

311
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:59,360
expanding our outreach to the community
so thank you city council for allowing

312
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:03,360
us to have this program it's done a lot
of good in our community and we want to

313
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:06,880
continue it so thank you and thank you
to officer outlaw

314
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:10,559
i'll open up for any comments from city
council well i think you have to get

315
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,679
kids when they're young if you want to
make an impact

316
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,320
and this is one of the areas that i
think is really really critical to make

317
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:23,200
an impact at a young age because there
is so much pressure out there to kids i

318
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:26,320
mean even when my son was that agent he
went through the program it was a

319

children for
everything the time that you put into it

342

your dedication to it and thanks that

343
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:08,720
i know that you know hopefully being

344
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,720

345
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,520
thanks again

346
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:18,880
mayor if i could uh i can remember
you know being in dare myself

347
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,400
in grade school over at holy family it
was a joliet officer that was there

348
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:27,840
but
i think one thing that's important

349
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:32,240
to note of the program too is that kids
at a young age look at authority

350
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:36,080
differently and
when an officer can come in there and

351
00:25:34,159 --> 00:25:41,200
relate to the kids like their their
teachers do or like other

352
00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:45,120
adults do they they realize that they're
real people and then when they see you

353
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,640
on the street they can you know treat
you with respect

354
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:52,080
that's one of the big takeaways of the
program that's not you know mentioned as

355
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:57,200
much
but you cert we've certainly had a great

356
00:25:54,559 --> 00:26:00,799
group of men and women leading this
program and i appreciate all you do just

357
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:05,120
like everybody else has said heidi for
the for the program and the police

358
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,120
department thank you

359
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,840
thank you for your service heidi

360
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:18,799
having three kids that offer that all
went through the dare program and

361
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,919
um you were
instrumental in um

362
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:26,799
in
making them aware of all the risks that

363
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:31,360
are out there and they all all three of
them just spoke really highly of you and

364
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:35,279
