we have just arrived as a shower unit

48
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:15,040
from the the state is it should be
operational here shortly uh internet

49
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,759
trailer was getting up and running as
well they were trying to relocate it and

50
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:22,160
make sure it got a good connection to
the satellite so that should be

51
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:28,960
available by this evening um and Red
Cross has been awesome and yeah so any

52
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:32,919
specifics anything any questions bless
you

53
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:37,720
so the meal is from 3 to 6 are you
hoping to continue that each night for

54
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:42,360
as long as we need it yes okay and what
about folks who need a place to stay

55
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:46,120
overnight yes so we've got that open as
of last night the Red Cross was

56
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,360
instrumental in getting that operational
we had one person stay last night we're

57
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:56,479
available for for more so we have we
have room and uh a warm place it stays

58
00:04:53,320 --> 00:05:03,520
nice and more there question you
any ask you know um at this point we

59
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:07,120
we're have Red Cross May I don't know
you may be able to speak better to to

60
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:12,440
that as far as cooking and stuff we are
good uh the one concern we're having is

61
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,759
fuel getting fuel for all the generators
is it's going to be it's a little

62
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:19,880
difficult so we're we're trying to
figure that out still but it's a

63
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:26,000
constant feed of fuel so yes can I just
add that the Presa food pantry actually

64
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,800
uh lost their Refrigeration so they took
all of their things they needed

65
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:36,000
Refrigeration to new bapti and they will
use it in feeding yes so think about

66
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:40,479
them when the power comes back on CU
they'll need to replenish all that but

67
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:45,160
also their generosity to the
community yes the satellite tower how

68
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:49,039
how will that work and how will people
be able to connect to it or so from my

69
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:52,680
understanding they they're still setting
it up but they'll check in with the Red

70
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,800
Cross inside at the warming Center and
they'll have a password that you can get

71
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:01,240
in order to connect and I know it's
right now Verizon it's having a really

72
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:05,440
difficult time so be really key as far
as making contact outside

73
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:17,520
yeah and I'd like to also introduce
Carissa HED H from Southern Oregon Red

74
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:23,599
Cross yeah so good afternoon um my name

75
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:30,639
night we were working with the the
county um and you know the city the

76
00:06:26,599 --> 00:06:34,880
efforts um to be able to you know locate
there with with new hope so one of the

77
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:39,639
roles of the Red Cross is to provide you
know Sheltering and feeding you know

78
00:06:37,599 --> 00:06:44,240
during events like this so one we needed
to have a a place that was heated for a

79
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:48,520
shelter so thank you for being able to
provide that and getting the generator

80
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:53,120
there so you know at this point you know
we're we're really we've got um it's a

81
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,560
24-hour shelter so we have a daytime
shift to volunteers and then an

82
00:06:54,919 --> 00:07:02,560
overnight shift so if you just want to
come and have a warmer place to stay

to have more you know you're welcome to

88
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:33,400
do that um but yeah we're just going to
be playing it by ear until

89
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,720
you know until the need is is served um
and then yeah just kind of providing

90
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:43,080
that communal place where people get
that um that access to information so if

91
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,759
you've got your friends Network your
neighbors just let them know I know

92
00:07:44,919 --> 00:07:51,400
internet can be down so talking to your
neighbors knowing that the Red Cross has

93
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:56,199
that you know shelter open is what we're
working with and again we we can't do it

94
00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:04,319
ourselves so the church the city the
state everyone has their part in this

95
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,319
So yeah thank

96
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:14,520
you um I can talk a little bit about
what's going on with the electrical if

97
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:18,759
people want to hear that oh yes um Lane
electric is in the worst shape they

98
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,960
completely lost a
substation so that's why it's going to

99
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:28,479
take till uh January 26 to bring
everybody back on who's a lane Customer

100
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:32,399
because they actually have to rebuild
the substation it had three different

101
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:39,399
lines coming into it from three
different directions all three are

102
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:44,800
demolished um epud is working very hard
to get everybody up and running they

103
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:50,560
have added extra Crews um and yeah
they're just they're just plugging away

104
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:56,959
um with uh Pacific Power they had
actually reestablished electricity in

105
00:08:53,160 --> 00:09:01,839
presswell and um then it was broken
again and they worked on it and it got

106
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:06,880
broken again um so they have been just
re repairing things everyone is

107
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:15,200
concentrating on lwh hanging fruit right
now and um trying to get the system uh

108
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,920
get the debris off the system um devices
froze and I don't know what that means

109
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:24,920
but they were very sad about the fact
that these devices that are part of the

110
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:28,200
electrical system froze and so they were
going to have to wait until they thought

111
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:32,920
to assess them and see if they needed
replacement so not only are they you

112
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:37,720
know redoing the polls they had trem all
of them had a tremendous number of poles

113
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:42,079
come down um not only are they replacing
the poles and the wires they're actually

114
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:47,079
having to you know do some additional
more technical stuff to the system so um

115
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,920
I don't know if that's useful
information or not but they are working

116
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:57,040
they're working late into the night um
and they're they I think they've

117
00:09:54,040 --> 00:10:01,760
reestablished the hospital in Cottage
Grove now is on electrical power they

118
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:07,880
were running on generator um so that was
one of their primary concerns was to get

119
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,880
the hospital up and running and and it

120
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:16,959
is okay so I want to open up to members
of the public that might have questions

121
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:16,959
that hopefully we can

122
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:25,720
answer any
questions I just have another thing um

123
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:30,680
the hospitals are uh having a hard time
as well uh they have a lot of people who

124
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:34,880
fell and broke things that required
surgery and they were turning them away

125
00:10:33,079 --> 00:10:38,959
because they could not do surgeries I
don't know if they're doing surgeries

126
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:44,360
yet um one of the problems in is that
the Springfield Water got contaminated

127
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:50,360
and so it has a boil notice boil water
notice on them and I know that um

128
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:56,079
McKenzie canceled all of its um
surgeries and uh River Bend is trying to

129
00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:00,680
find places for people who have had
surgery to go so they could take you

130
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:05,920
know more people through the doors
because they just have their emergency

131
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:09,399
room received twice its normal capacity
on the first day so they're working

132
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:15,360
through
that city council members and Nicholas

133
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:22,839
you have a question for amandre Amberg
or for Casey or for

134
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:22,839
Kista I than

135
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:30,959
you spre word thank youbody all they've
done so

136
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,959
okay thank you
Nicholas yes uh just thinking ahead for

137
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,720
the future I know it's tremendously
expensive to put power lines underground

138
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:45,680
but I was
wondering I was wondering if it might be

139
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:49,040
time to look at that again I think
they're wondering that as well I think

140
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:54,639
there's some that do Merit Going
Underground The main transmission line I

141
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:59,720
think that went across I five uh was a
eye opener for them um so maybe maybe

142
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:05,399
we'll see some of that actually working
with UD at the airport uh and with dou

143
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:12,000
fastet to underground some lines under
the freeway uh so that may help as

144
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:17,240
well if they're going to keep pushing us
away from gas I think they better really

145
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:24,240
take that serious that's actually my
comment but we are blessed to have a

146
00:12:20,839 --> 00:12:29,000
professional gas range and it has been a
lifesaver at our house because we have

147
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:34,160
not had a generator we have not had my8
mother I finally they got power in

148
00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:39,639
screen field and I took her up to my
sister's house yesterday but our gas

149
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:43,079
range has been our only Lifesaver
because everything else is efficient and

150
00:12:41,199 --> 00:12:50,040
we have one of those tankless water
heaters so we've had nothing but gas and

151
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:54,760
you'll never convince me not to advocate
for

152
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:57,279
gas after this yeah oh yeah they've
created some

153
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:04,320
Warriors I don't if we're there yet but
since we've declared a state of

154
00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:07,880
emergency are there going to be federal
or state funds coming to help families

155
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,279
who have you know or low income have
lost their food or have lost their

156
00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:15,720
shelter during this time or need help
with rent because they've lost work

157
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:21,079
hours do we know that
yet the county declare in order to get

158
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,360
those kind of fundings there's several
steps you have to go through we can't

159
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,959
declare an emergency and receive them
that doesn't mean anything to Fe um the

160
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:34,440
county can declare emergency and then
they'll be eligible for some assistance

161
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:40,079
but it's the state that has to declare
the emergency and the the governor did

162
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:46,760
so we will be working within that
framework to get as much assistance as

163
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:52,519
we can get um it will FEMA is
notoriously difficult and takes a long

164
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:59,120
time and I really do feel for all of the
businesses in town who have had to be

165
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:05,360
down now for you know a week um I I wish
there was some way I could help them all

166
00:14:01,959 --> 00:14:10,240
um have generators but um yeah we just
it won't be fast okay um but we'll do

167
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,240
our

168
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:19,320
best so a couple questions oh Norma well
my my question and it may be answered

169
00:14:18,199 --> 00:14:25,399
later
is we're we're doing this to get funds

170
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:31,880
release so that we can do that what what
will those funds that are releasing from

171
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:37,839
the budget to be doing use for to help
the city of Creswell oh we don't we

172
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:44,759
haven't um yeah uh part of the
Declaration is to create a a fund of

173
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:50,639
money um the way crestwell right now is
expending money is we have overtime we

174
00:14:47,839 --> 00:14:55,360
have a tremendous fuel bill um we're
operating both plants manually that

175
00:14:53,480 --> 00:15:02,600
means every two hours someone has to go
out there and run it all run through the

176
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:08,399
whole plant um Cliff is climbing on top
of the reservoirs nightly to make sure

177
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:13,240
because our Telemetry is down to make
sure that we have enough water for the

178
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:18,000
night for the community um yeah so
there's um we're going to have to take

179
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:23,000
down trees there'll be debris cleanup
there'll be the costs of some of this uh

180
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:27,320
things that the state has sent down I
think the um showers are going to be

181
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:31,519
something that's on a contract so we
might have to pay for that

182
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:37,519
um yeah so those are the kinds of things
we'll be paying for um but fuel right

183
00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:43,079
now is the big deal because um we are
looking for fuel to keep our generators

184
00:15:40,839 --> 00:15:47,240
going at the sewer plant and the waste
and the water plant because those are

185
00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:52,040
are two big objectives right now is to
keep those going those those are top

186
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:57,440
level um that and trying to make sure
that there's no um blockages in the

187
00:15:54,519 --> 00:16:04,240
street those were our priorities so
that's what we'll at and then any other

188
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:11,079
uh things we can do uh to assist our
community uh we'll ask for funding for

189
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:16,839
that so A couple of things manager Amber
um do we have any concerns at this point

190
00:16:13,199 --> 00:16:25,079
about water and sewer in Crest oil no
only only fuel to keep them running and

191
00:16:20,199 --> 00:16:30,120
um yeah okay what about law enforcement
concerns um if people have concerns do

192
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:35,800
they just go through the process of
calling 911 is that the best rout yeah

193
00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:39,519
911 is still working okay um and you can
call them or you can call the

194
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:44,759
non-emergency number if it's not an
emergency unfortunately we have had some

195
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:51,560
crime because without
electricity um alarm systems don't work

196
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:54,560
so we have had a couple
burglaries

197
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:01,319
okay so with that I would like to move
forward to oh

198
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,880
I'm I'm sorry just one other thing as a
kind of security guy I just like

199
00:17:03,959 --> 00:17:09,679
everybody to think about posting on like
Facebook or various things that you're

200
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:15,439
not going to be home that you're staying
with your relatives because uh for

201
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:19,919
somebody with a bad mindset they can say
this house is right

202
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:24,120
now that's all okay
good I would like to move forward then

203
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:28,679
to item number one which is the
resolution and I will read the

204
00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:33,440
resolution there just a few words
changes if you want to note those and

205
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:38,679

00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:50,400
expenses that have already incurred some
may and some may still be to come okay

244
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:56,039
yes yeah we have not expended
$150,000 yet but when we start um you

245
00:20:53,880 --> 00:21:02,799
know taking out trees and rebuilding
senses and doing rep work we did have a

246
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:09,600
treat them down on the water tank um we
may run up to 150,000 any idea where

247
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:15,159
we're already at any any clue is this is
this going to be enough well if it's not

248
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:21,120
enough we'll come back okay all
right answer my

249
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:25,760
question councelor Clark um just to make
sure that that we have Clarity with

250
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:30,039
everyone so in the fifth Warehouse
statement um it talks about suspending

251
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:38,320
279060 and so I'm wondering what is or
279060 make sure that we're we know what

252
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:42,440
we're suspended those are the
procurement laws they require us to get

253
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:46,080
three bids they require us to use
certain things and certain parameters

254
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:50,200
there's a lot of Hoops you have to jump
through when you're doing a a public

255
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:53,640
purchase and it says for this purpose
we're not going to do that we're going

256
00:21:51,400 --> 00:22:00,320
to go straight to a contra contractor
and get the work done thank

257
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,320
you my

258
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:08,159
question so just clarification
if I mean such as paying all the

259
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,039
overtime that's not going to happen
tomorrow there's going to come a time

260
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:17,000
when all these bills are going to come
due if at that time we're short of the

261
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:20,559
150,000 we then can come back with a a
new resolution or would it be better

262
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:24,720
just to up the number at this point what
would you recommend I think let's hold

263
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:32,000
it at 150 I think that's a reasonable
amount okay I I would

264
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:38,720
I'm skeptical that we would go over
that okay any other questions counselors
