else
[19:03] but a lot of their work goes
in the nighttime hours when it's usually
[19:07] sight unseen with heavy snowstorms that
usually occur
[19:12] a lot of times it seems like at night
where they're out plowing for maybe 16
[19:16] hours and then go home and sleep for
eight hours and the major snowstorms
[19:20] have to come back for another eight
hours
[19:23] we don't a lot of people don't see them
unless the water main break is near
[19:27] their residence and a lot of times those
happen
[19:31] when it's
below zero temperatures and it's very
[19:34] cold outside
and they're out in the middle of the
[19:37] night dealing with the traffic and the
and the water main breaks that have to
[19:40] be
um
[19:42] fixed so people can have um drinking

to keep the city operating and i also
[20:04] want to offer my gratitude to their
families for the sacrifices that the

moving on to our city treasurer uh
[32:04] report our treasurer glenn conklin
leaving glenn good evening mayor and
[32:08] council
first off i'd like to publicly apologize
[32:11] to all of you for not having that uh the
uh
[32:15] public meeting for the for the budget on
the agenda the good news is that lisa
[32:18] and jim put that together that budget
quickly and efficiently so
[32:22] we have time to remedy my mistake
um
[32:27] so moving forward i guess i got another
thing that i'd like to ask council's
[32:30] council on
is that
[32:33] in the past we've often
uh
[32:37] reported comp time buyback
we've for a while gotten away from
[32:41] reporting that it's not required by any
means
[32:44] uh but i just wanted to know your
thoughts on whether or not you'd like to
[32:47] see that as
on the agenda in that report or whether
[32:52] uh whether not needing action whether
you
[32:55] prefer not to see it
i'd like to see it i'd like to see it
[33:00] everybody go with that i mean it's a
good it gives us a summary and a great
[33:02] place to look for things so yeah we will
have that moving forward on there again
[33:06] it won't be an action item but it will
be uh something that we'll report as we
[33:10] do the payroll
so um
[33:14] i'd like to report regular overtime
payroll from
[33:17] 411 2022 through 424 2022 in the amount
of 247 thousand nine hundred eighty two
[33:24] dollars and sixty five cents
i'd also like to report our comp buy
[33:31] back in the amount of fifty two thousand
fifty six dollars and fifty five cents
[33:40] oh excuse me i
i flipped some numbers here the comp
[33:45] time buyback was 52
65. and 55 cents my apologies
[33:52] the only uh thing i seek uh
a motion to approve would be our list of
[33:57] bills
which will total up in that same time
[34:01] period of 2 million 545
138 dollars and 72 cents so moved is
[34:08] presented
we have motion by all the person
[34:10] overland seconded by alderman jefferson
for the approval of the list of bills
[34:13] questions or comments
roll call please what do you dissolve
[34:19] uh yes there's two different numbers in
here
[34:22] i announced the wrong
oh we have two different numbers the
[34:26] agenda says different number than in
here i'm just going to say that so i'm
[34:30] not sure which one is correct
[34:33] so the agenda agenda says what you read
okay and
[34:38] the actual handout okay it says
different numbers so you did read it
[34:42] right from the wrong area i'm assuming
because when i read it right from
[34:49] i believe it to be the 56 dollars i
think the agenda has two
[34:53] items transposed yeah the agenda so
we're off by roughly eleven dollars on
[34:57] our
on our uh
[35:00] what what i'm reporting it's not an
action item okay nine bucks actually
[35:05] [Applause]
yes
[35:08] tina oberlin yes mark zappedy yeah nate
albert yes joe kubal yes scott dice yes
[35:15] john richard and darrell jefferson yes
motion carries thank you
[35:19] i thank you all i'll take any questions

[35:50] uh thank the police and public works for
all you guys do for us thank you
[35:55] were three alderman's pity not at this
time mayor all their person overland two
[35:59] things i'd like to remind everybody that
this year we will be having the 80th
[36:04] ladies memorial service sunday june 12th
at 11 o'clock at ladies memorial park
[36:10] um in the times that we're living in
it's kind of frightening to think that
[36:16] what this
park was put there for and what it
[36:19] stands for
um
[36:21] it's a little scary to see what's going
on in the world today
[36:25] so i think it's really critical that
people
[36:28] try to make this ceremony this year it's
it's a really important event and
[36:34] we don't want to repeat history
we're also having a cleanup at the park
[36:40] with the czech consulate and all the
people from up there at 11 o'clock
[36:45] on sunday may 22nd so i would love for
all the want to be gardeners out there
[36:51] to bring your tools and come on over and
meet us at the park and we're going to
[36:55] try to get it looking as nice as we can
