[1:09] All right, my o'clock says it's 7 o'clock, so I'll call this board of all of the meeting order for September 22nd. If you please join me in Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

[1:40] Audemann Hall, Audemann Mayby, Audemann Seven, Audemann Jadala, all eight are here, you have a quarm here, honor.

[1:50] Very good, we have no presentations, communications and appointments, but we do have one public hearing to see, so it's an ordinance established in annual rates of tax levies for the year 2026 for all taxable residential, commercial and personal property in the city of Crestwood, so I will call this public hearing to order.

[2:09] As I just said, this is just kind of our annual exercise.

[2:12] It's at our tax rates in accordance with state law.

[2:16] And if I looked at it correctly, I think it's pretty much the same as it was last year.

[2:21] I think there's one slight change on the commercial, but not anything to speak of.

[2:26] So this is a public hearing.

[2:28] The public is invited to comment on this topic.

[2:31] If anyone cares to, please raise your hand.

[2:33] You sure? It's exciting. Okay. Seeing none before any further board input before we close

[4:37] Very good.

[4:37] That concludes public hearings.

[4:39] We've moved on to public comment.

[4:40] This opportunity for anybody to speak anything on or off the agenda relating to Cresswood.

[4:45] Anybody cares?

[4:46] Anything tonight?

[4:50] Okay.

[4:50] We'll move on to Mayor Board of Alderman and City Administrator reports and or comments.

[4:54] and it's all Roman Gidellas, our soft-seating.

[4:57] Thank you.

[5:00] Participated in the Crestwood night out, and it was a huge success. Our areas first one was last year, and it doubled, like at least doubled. So we had a huge showing. And then I went to the start gazing on Friday, and that was really nice. I mean, they always just have like a handful of telescopes, because it's a pretty small one for them, but they like doing it, and there was people pretty consistently coming through. So if you get a chance to go, it's worth it.

[5:30] That is all.

[5:31] Very good.

[5:31] Thank you.

[5:32] On his ass.

[5:34] Unfortunately, I was out of town for a Crestwood night ass.

[5:36] I missed this year.

[5:37] So you were out?

[5:38] Out.

[5:38] I was out of town.

[5:40] So I have nothing to report.

[5:41] Very good.

[5:42] Oliver Morrison.

[5:44] Very similar report to Older Woman Jalette Chizalas.

[5:48] But we had two in Ward 1.

[5:51] One of them was in our newest neighborhood over by Deerberg's.

[5:57] And I received a bunch of feedback on parking.

[6:03] But I did want to say thank you very much to staff for

[6:06] providing some of this swag.

[6:08] And that was greatly appreciate especially when we realized that there was a large

[6:12] bag of glow sticks.

[6:14] And then suddenly I was mobbed, not by adults, but it was really good.

[6:22] It was good to be there, got a bunch of business cards passed out.

[6:26] and met a bunch of new people.

[6:28] So that's my report.

[6:29] Thank you, very good.

[6:30] Thanks.

[6:31] All the person, Nigel Oram.

[6:33] So I thoroughly enjoyed having the goodies to pass out.

[6:37] So that was really fun.

[6:39] And my son might have taken one of the backpacks.

[6:44] And I heard a lot about speeding and about the new roundabout

[6:48] and the traffic calming measures and talked a lot about that.

[6:52] I actually made it to we had four in our ward and my husband and kids and I we party

[6:59] hopped as much as we could and it was really fun to be able to talk to people and introduce

[7:06] myself and one of them one of the parties have been getting to get I think they said like

[7:11] 28 years even before there was like a night out and so like some of the neighbors there have

[7:15] only lived there for a few years and then the other neighbors like they had it all very organized

[7:20] And that was, it was just lovely to be able to get some

[7:23] known neighbors and hear more about traffic calming.

[7:29] And to meet people's kids and stuff.

[7:31] And I had people come, one of them, I had people come up and stand in line to get my card from me.

[7:36] It was wonderful. So I really enjoyed that. Thank you very much for making it.

[7:42] So easy to be liked when you walk around handing out stuff.

[7:49] Alright, old person now.

[7:50] I also went to Crestwood Night Out in my neighborhood.

[7:53] I usually party hop and try to go to all of them, but this time I stayed at my next door

[7:59] neighbors and we had just a huge turnout.

[8:02] No big issues from anybody except the hostess said, we wanted a fire truck, not the emergency

[8:11] vehicle.

[8:12] As I said, you got to request it next year.

[8:15] But anyway, we had a wonderful time.

[8:17] And I also went to the Stargazing. I almost forgot until you mentioned it, but I went late at night and it was wonderful to go to that.

[8:27] And let's see.

[8:30] Sapping to the House Foundation, both Greg and I went to it.

[8:33] I'll let him say more about it, but the logs are going up and it's looking good and they have a big event Friday night for dinner, a fundraiser.

[8:43] and then Saturday, 11 to 3 all kinds of great events and music that should be there so that's going to be fun.

[8:54] And I really enjoyed yesterday's walk through White Cliff and look forward to discussing that as part of our agenda tonight.

[9:03] Thank you.

[9:04] Very good.

[9:05] Thanks.

[9:06] All in all.

[9:07] Well, thank you.

[9:08] I also attended the Crosswood I-Down.

[9:11] I think we had four parties in Ward three.

[9:14] And I was able to make three of them.

[9:16] So it was all very nice to visit them.

[9:19] I think the Warren Queenston, they said they had 67 people there.

[9:23] So pretty, pretty good crowd there.

[9:25] But also a good time and appreciate everything AJ did to put together the packet for us.

[9:30] So that was very nice and much appreciated.

[9:34] Let's see, sapping in house, we do have that big event run, run, run day, Paloosa this

[9:41] weekend, and so looking, looking forward to that, I'll add the Joseph sappington house

[9:49] out, Joseph sappington cabin, is making pretty good progress, if you go by, you'll see that

[9:56] the logs are up even, some interior logs are up now.

[10:00] It delivered wood for the flooring, for first floor and second floor. The framing of the front deck has been done. The mountains of dirt are gone. Social look a pretty nice for this weekend's event. They met with the stone mason last week. I have not heard when he's going to start. But pretty soon, we should be getting the stones there for the three big chimneys. So that'll be very nice. And four weeks from Saturday, we have the Sun Press Fund.

[10:29] and looking forward to that.

[10:32] It's coming along very well.

[10:34] And I'll have an email out to the elected officials

[10:37] about the parade and carshell.

[10:39] I'll probably have that out tomorrow.

[10:41] I think I have most details finalized.

[10:44] And I will mention that one thing about Suncrest Fest,

[10:48] it's almost completely paid for by sponsorships.

[10:51] You know, Suncet Hills and Crosswood just,

[10:52] I don't think it has any budget money that goes into that

[10:55] or, you know, they cover any shortfalls.

[10:58] but in the last several years, we've basically been at least a break event.

[11:02] So that's a very nice thing.

[11:03] A lot of cities are not accomplished that, but looking forward to that.

[11:07] Thank you.

[11:08] Thank you.

[11:09] All right, maybe.

[11:10] Thank you, Runner.

[11:11] Coming up on October 7th is the next planning and zoning meeting.

[11:15] Like all my colleagues, I enjoyed the Crestwood night out.

[11:18] It's like there was excellent attendance this year.

[11:20] And as always, special thanks to the police and fire departments for making the rounds.

[11:24] And I wanted to give a special ad tip to the fire department.

[11:27] is this year in the annexed area. Sometimes you guys are able to make it over there, sometimes

[11:31] no, but this year you showed up with both vehicles. I don't know if they were playing favorites

[11:36] in Ward 3 over 2, but we got the emergency vehicle and the pumper, and you guys beat Afton there

[11:42] by like 45 minutes, and so then when they came all the kids were like, oh another fire truck,

[11:47] and this one's yellow, they weren't as impressed. So they really enjoyed having all the

[11:51] Yeah, Crestwood Emergency Responders there.

[11:53] So that was wonderful.

[11:54] And then I'll conclude my report.

[11:57] I'll let the mayor announce the results

[11:58] of the Christmas and Crestwood Tribune.

[12:04] Oh, maybe you might want to go ahead and say it.

[12:10] I think the mayor had a strong,

[12:11] mayor still had a strong showing.

[12:12] He has a second or third, right?

[12:13] Until we ran out of all against him.

[12:14] Yeah.

[12:15] Now by your table one.

[12:17] Yeah, my colleagues are smarter than me.

[12:18] So yeah, all the women, they lure them.

[12:20] and John, thank you for hosting it,

[12:22] ultimate hall.

[12:23] We had people in my table who really carried it,

[12:24] but yeah, we managed to hold it off.

[12:26] Good job.

[12:27] Now I got to pull up the scoreboard.

[12:29] All right, Alderman said.

[12:31] OK, well, start with something a few days before that,

[12:34] was a bunch of us visited the community center.

[12:37] As it stands right now, all the walls are up

[12:40] and I took some photos, which I did show at the Tribuneite.

[12:43] Also showed them that my record show on Sunday

[12:45] and a lot of the guys are hoping we move that out

[12:48] the city here, eventually, the actual results of the trivia night.

[12:53] First, we $4,300 and change was the intake, so all of that's going to go towards items in December.

[13:00] We did have a tie for first between a table consisting of several older persons and

[13:07] the Christmas and Crestwood people and former Christmas and Crestwood people, and

[13:11] my former boss is table, and that table always wins the classic rock one.

[13:17] But due to the tiebreaker, the table which happened to have Alderman maybe and others that took first the mayor's table

[13:26] Little further down six

[13:29] Quantis table actually took third which was which was nice

[13:33] Alderman woman Marie Davis of Suset Hills was there former mayor Benson was there

[13:39] Further on that weekend also the Chris one night out

[13:42] We had our ward had three parties and a fourth unofficial party that never made the list, which is all the

[13:48] The people were on metal firm most of which I saw earlier that day at the garden the market at

[13:53] The Ross Wagner farm there the sapon conqueror group did that the next garden market is going to be on

[14:00] October 3rd

[14:02] This past weekend

[14:03] Father Dixon some Terry had their second annual trivia night

[14:06] I'm waiting to hear the numbers back on that. I would imagine about $3,000 there that will go for them with their

[14:13] landscaping and long care on care and other things there

[14:18] then

[14:20] Some other things that happened I probably knows a certain member of the audience is not here this week, but she and I did have our

[14:29] 14th wedding anniversary last week, and then she just headed out of Dodge. I saw it now. She

[14:35] She's coming back from Chicago, as we speak, well for mom, so they have family out there.

[14:41] But so, Kim and Barrister, too much this time.

[14:45] Today is actually my nephew's all over the birthday.

[14:47] Tomorrow is my grandparent 76th anniversary.

[14:50] And then don't forget on this weekend, as Alderman all mentioned, we have,

[14:55] I guess they couldn't get the rights to cross woodstock.

[14:58] So it's Ronde Paloza.

[15:00] Which I'll be at that. It's Ned's birthday that day, too. Those who want to stop by my place before going to the further rendezvous, my annual new fest is on the 26th, which is my dad's birthday. We got a lot of jambalaya, so please come by and take. We got something that I wanted to sign on auction for 50 people for jambalaya, just come by, take food. And then also on the third, the sapping tones are plain at sapping in house for another fundraiser there. And single

[15:29] the classic rocket sponsoring that one.

[15:32] And that is all I have.

[15:33] All right, very good.

[15:35] City Administrator.

[15:38] The only thing that I just want to touch base on real quick

[15:40] is to kind of echo the sentiment of the board

[15:42] and thank Public Safety and all staff

[15:46] for helping out with Crestwood Nightout

[15:47] this last week, a pair of two weeks ago.

[15:51] All right, very good.

[15:52] City Attorney.

[15:54] No report.

[15:55] Oh, I can't even work the mic.

[15:57] Oh, it's already on.

[15:58] No report, you're on it.

[15:59] Thank you very good. All right for my report just two items one is this Saturday

[16:06] morning will be our paint recycling event very first time we've done that so

[16:10] excited to see what that looks like and hopefully our parking lot will remain

[16:14] it's a normal black color and the following weekend is electronics recycling

[16:20] also Saturday morning right here and yeah thanks thanks again to fire and police

[16:25] and public works, is everybody involved to make, you know, the Crestwood night out really

[16:32] a great success. I think this probably was the best year ever, both in participation,

[16:37] as well as in giveaways. So, and I went to, you know, several parties and, yeah, I think

[16:45] that the police and fire made a really great effort this year. And I think visited pretty

[16:51] much every single party out there, which I'm not sure we've been able to do in the past,

[16:56] so thank you for that.

[16:58] Okay, we have no unfinished business.

[17:01] So moving on to Consent Agenda.

[17:03] Does anyone have anything they wish to remove from the Consent Agenda?

[17:07] Oliver, maybe.

[17:08] I've actually got a motion to amend the agenda.

[17:11] I'd move that we take the two ordinances under new business and place them on the Consent

[17:15] Agenda.

[17:16] Very good that would mean that we have no discussion on those items.

[17:19] is there a second on that?

[17:24] Okay. Any discussion on that motion?

[17:29] Seems like everyone's happy with that. All of favor say aye.

[17:32] Aye. Any opposed, say nay. So those will be added to the bottom or wherever city clerk determines to the consent agenda.

[17:41] All right. Anything else? I'll remove.

[17:43] Very good. I'm seeing no other lights. Is there a motion to second for the readings of the items on the consent agenda?
