[0:00] Okay. Uh, New Town Shop. I just happened to talk to uh, uh, Zach from FBI this

[0:07] evening. He said they're going to be in probably

[0:12] there three or four days they'll be in and get

[0:17] started on the finishing touches of the building.

[0:21] So outside of that, that's I don't know a whole lot else.

[0:31] Oh yeah.

[0:36] » Uh, it probably wouldn't hurt for Duke. We can go ahead and call him and get

[0:41] started on it. That'd be fine.

[0:51] » So, yeah, if you uh you want to make that phone call, might as well. We can

[0:55] get Well, that I'll come in here

[0:59] » because really we need to go and get the meter base and they need to be kind of

[1:04] halfway done with that wall or maybe put us in an extra board in there where

[1:09] we're going to mount that meter base to come through into where our head

[1:15] » well meter base

[1:21] well yeah we got our concrete's in the

[1:27] But I mean on the outside we could bring it in but it probably

[1:32] » Yeah, we could bring it under. So you might just call Duke and ask him what it

[1:35] will cost to go underground versus coming in overhead, you know. Good

[1:39] point, Steve. So and go from there. So

[1:45] I would So you want a meter a meter base and break box all purchased or

[1:51] » Well, we need to we need to sit down and we'll get with Michelle and kind of see

[1:55] what we got in the budget. >> Okay.

[1:58] » Um so you know we've got we've got some money that we had in that

[2:05] one savings account from another water project. We could deem some of that

[2:13] with [cough and clears throat] approval use some of that

[2:16] » finish out this new building. >> Yeah.

[2:19] » So, we could do that. So, >> what do we need to do for board approval

[2:24] to do that? I mean, just make a motion on it.

[2:27] » Um, double sharing that Scott, but I

[2:30] » Okay. >> He needs to write up something. He told

[2:33] me sign. >> I That's kind of what I thought. I

[2:35] figured we need to do something like that. So, we'll wait and talk to the

[2:38] legal minion, right? and uh then we we'll have a better idea how to go about

[2:43] with it. >> So Bob, you want to take over here?

[2:46] » Okay. >> So

[2:50] ready for clean up later tonight. >> Okay, we got nine served and four

[2:58] [clears throat] was sent out by Caphil M certified mail. The next section left

[3:04] will be needed be be served.

[3:13] » [snorts] >> and see that they completed it.

[3:22] So that that spreadsheet just has the address of what the address was and the

[3:28] date that it was signed and issued and served. And then um you guys will need

[3:36] to to look to see what you guys think of the progress is if it needs to have

[3:41] another morning or if they've asked for extension or if there's a citation that

[3:45] needs to be issued or what you guys want me to do within that

[3:52] when I did from the west side of Maple Street to the west side of town and from

[4:00] um Brierwood to the south side of Redwood. So, it's that first quarter of

[4:08] town right over there. So, and then um whatever you guys what section you want

[4:13] me to do next is what I will do next. >> I'd say just work north of it and

[4:17] [clears throat] just kind of [snorts] work around. That's what you want to do.

[4:20] Whatever. >> Get that whole side down.

[4:23] » Yeah. Then you got one whole half of town done. You haven't hopscotched in.

[4:33] And I have copies. I have the originals of all the uh warning letters and a

[4:39] picture of it. I'll let you guys see that. And just when you guys get done

[4:42] looking at, give it back to Michelle. These are the originals because for some

[4:45] reason people want to call her and talk to her about it instead of calling and

[4:49] talking to me or to you guys. So [clears throat] I just like her to be

[4:53] able to see the pictures. I know what she's talking. You know, they call ask

[4:57] questions.

[5:03] I didn't take like a ton of pictures of all the properties. I just kind of took

[5:06] a picture of like of the where the majority of the the worst of the worst

[5:12] was at on the property and stuff. So just that way you kind of see what it

[5:16] looks like.

[5:49] » [clears throat]

[5:52] » What else we got? we get rolling on B. >> Okay. Boyce meal fee of $7,65

[6:04] to be paid by September 30th in this year.

[6:09] » Yeah. So, I really

[6:17] » Well, let's my my thoughts on this. I know me and

[6:21] you have talked about it. U we're kind of where we we got to pay it. We have to

[6:28] have them. >> Yeah.

[6:29] » But um and I don't know if the state board

[6:33] of accounts lady Mr. Thor or Mr. Thornton or Jim Stale could guide you to

[6:39] someone else. I mean $7,75 for a little town Dana. I'm sorry that's

[6:45] highway robbery. Well, but you're not gonna be in keeper because I called um

[6:52] and talked to the different people that Scott wanted

[6:56] me to talk to and I talked to Mr. Young and Tyler Tech. They're $20,000 a year

[7:02] » and that's just for the basics. Everybody is around 20,000. It is very

[7:08] high. Voice is able to offer it cheaper to us because they are that's the

[7:13] majority of people use voice. >> Yeah. Seven. It was 8,000. You got it

[7:17] down to7,000 because you know how many you payable. So 7,000 is about as cheap

[7:23] as you're going to get. >> Well, the only problem I had with Boyce

[7:26] » when we went back to the shutdown when [clears throat]

[7:30] um our previous clerk had medical issues, was over in the hospital and

[7:35] could not function. We didn't have a password to get in and we spent three

[7:39] months. We could not. They boys would not refuse to give us a password till we

[7:46] called and sent them money. So them people right there, they're on my

[7:50] naughty list. >> I don't care how great they are. I don't

[7:53] like them. >> Well, they're crooks.

[7:57] » Part of the um one of the things they want to do is

[8:02] they want to go to the cloud. And one of the things when they do go to

[8:08] the cloud, every board member will be able to be a part of it. You will be

[8:12] able to have your own account. You'll have your own account. You'll have you

[8:15] will all have your own accounts. Now, you will not be able to write a check

[8:19] without some sort of approval to do that. And you also won't be able to

[8:23] change things about certain things without approval. But you'll be able to

[8:27] get on there. You'll be able to see everything that I've done on there.

[8:30] You'll be able to um pull up any kind of report you want. You'll be able to do it

[8:36] from your home anywhere you want. You'll be able to remotely do this.

[8:40] » And it will also offer Google the ability to go to [clears throat]

[8:46] » billing. Yeah. >> So that will save money, but that is an

[8:50] upgrade. And Scott, the last meeting we're at was like no way. So I mean

[8:55] being table, it keeps getting tabled. One of the other things that we had

[8:59] talked about was there's training for that new system

[9:04] that they're upgrading to. Clinton's getting ready to go to it. Anyway, that

[9:09] training is expensive, but it depends on how much you need. Like I may not need

[9:14] that much, so it may not be that cost. [laughter]

[9:19] Anyways, long story short, what I'm trying to say, John, is I got it to

[9:22] where they would take that and split the payment in three free ways for us

[9:26] because we're a small town. We don't have a lot of money. They were willing

[9:29] to do that. Scott did not agree to this and so it just keeps getting table

[9:34] table. So, we've not been able to up. >> Well, we can't kick the can anymore.

[9:39] » And so, anyway, something has to be done.

[9:42] » Yeah. So anyway, [clears throat] the very basic though is 7,000. That's what

[9:47] we have right now. And um I I got to get at least that paid so I

[9:54] can conduct business. >> Well, I make a motion to approve,

[9:58] [clears throat] you know, paying voice and getting the next yearly

[10:01] subscription. >> Okay. Thank you. All

[10:04] » in favor. All right.

[10:09] Yes. You said you had a deal there about a password. Have you changed it since

[10:14] then to where more than one person a sole person has a password that locked

[10:18] you up for three months? That don't make no sense.

[10:20] » Yeah, we was locked up. I think >> but one person Yeah. If that one

[10:25] person's out, you got a channel sitting there that can't do nothing. That's

[10:28] that's unheard of. >> Yeah.

[10:30] » Yeah, I do agree. I mean, >> you got to have more than one. You gota

[10:33] have multiple people or you gota have it locked in a safe or something where

[10:36] somebody can get to it. >> Yeah.

[10:37] » You can't lock it down. >> Yeah.

[10:40] » Well, there is. >> Okay. I thought you'd put that in place.

[10:43] The second one. >> Yes, there is.

[10:45] » So, okay. I thought you did have I wasn't sure.

[10:52] » Where to get the codes need to be. >> The next thing is well have wellhead

[10:58] protection ordinance needs to be created by the town attorney for phase two of

[11:04] the five-year protection to be completed for item.

[11:16] He's got a copy. >> Huh?

[11:19] » We sent him a copy of template of the ordinance sign.

[11:23] » Oh, yeah. I got it. >> So, he I just saw him tonight. I'm on

[11:26] his own and he's going to he's working on it. So, he should have it done by

[11:31] next month. >> Okay. Okay.

[11:32] » That's the last step we need to take to get the WHB approved.

[11:38] » Okay. and get that off Michelle's desk. >> Okay.

[11:43] » So, that but he's working on he has a template. There's just a few things he

[11:48] has to add to that and you make sure that's covers cover your stuff. So,

[11:53] » okay. >> Um I think I mentioned before that the

[11:56] ordinance needs to be in place to protect the area around your well

[12:00] » two and a half mile is it not? >> Well, yeah. A thousand feet wherever the

[12:05] radius was. >> Yeah. And then there's one that reaches

[12:07] out quite a ways. >> So there's different requirements.

[12:11] Closer you in, the more requirements are for what you can allow in that

[12:16] protection area, right? >> The further you go out, then

[12:20] he's got everything he needs to go ahead and get that drafted.

[12:23] » And like I told Michelle earlier, that's that's basically all we need to get that

[12:27] thing done and submitted. >> Okay.

[12:31] Camera contract was Scott Craig not here,

[12:34] » right? for next time.

[12:38] » Okay.

[12:45] And your insurance renewal cost. The old town shop has been removed from the

[12:52] insurance policy and the RT insurance is working on

[12:58] getting renewal cost. George from RT insurance will email the

[13:04] clerk treasure [cough] that just completed.

[13:09] » Yes. >> You got it.

[13:10] » We haven't got it yet, but he's working on it. He'll email it to me hopefully

[13:14] this week, [snorts]

[13:18] » but you guys wanted to know John, you wanted to know last time was the old

[13:22] taken off of it. >> Yeah, I wanted you know.

[13:29] Okay, next thing in old business is IRS is requesting payment and click

[13:36] treasure has left several messages to the IRS and [clears throat] is waiting

[13:40] for a return call to discuss. That's I just

[13:46] what to do and I told them a couple times they haven't so I'm sure they will

[13:51] eventually at some point they're gonna be making the letter

[13:55] what kind of plan what kind of plan pay you got.

[13:59] » Well they haven't g us any options yet but usually you know I think what

[14:05] Kevin's trying to shoot you for three year to kind of lessen the blow and that

[14:10] way it locks it in stops penalties and interest. Yes.

[14:22] » See what they are thinking and then I'll bring it to you and then back.

[14:28] » That's all business. New business. A amending sewer rates presented by Mike

[14:36] Novak. >> You guys have questions about

[14:41] » Huh? Do you guys have questions about the what I did was I basically we're

[14:46] gonna have to wait. Okay. [clears throat]

[14:48] At the end of the year, we have to have a US RD annual report which goes through

[14:53] all your finances for the year. And I was telling Michelle that we'll probably

[14:57] wait we'll do that in January. Um what what I put together for the rate

[15:03] ordinance is just basically another 5% rate increase until we know exactly how

[15:08] much we need to cover RD's costs and whatever whatever

[15:14] there was discussion when we first had everything kind of have fall apart. RD

[15:21] sat in here, me and Scott, John McGee >> and some other people, and they talked

[15:26] about that, you know, Dana was in a position where they wanted, we had the

[15:31] option to buy out on the end and add some time to help, you know, because

[15:36] we're at the point we can't take our rate.

[15:39] These people can't take that's up to you. I'm just telling you that the

[15:43] situation [laughter] with RD is they're willing to go ahead and let you keep

[15:46] » Yeah. month to month. >> Yep.

[15:49] Something Scott had brought up is asking Pat RD if you could skip a couple of

[15:56] months to go ahead and pay for some of the improvements you need some stuff.

[16:00] » So that's something we'll need to talk to Pat about.

[16:03] » Another issue is I brought up earlier and talked to Michelle about is we need

[16:08] I need to get you guys to meet have a we need to have a meeting date with Pat

[16:13] from RD so we can discuss all that stuff.

[16:16] » So that's up to you when you want. Yeah, >> you tell me. Um, I get with Pat and he's

[16:22] he's pretty open. I mean, I talked to him not too long ago. He's pretty open

[16:25] about meeting with you. Um, you know, at your convenience,

[16:31] so I just have to tell him when when a good date, good time would be to meet

[16:34] with you guys. >> You want to try to do that in the next

[16:36] couple of weeks or >> It's up to you. sooner than later or you

[16:41] know 30 days you know >> well I mean you know if we need to get

[16:46] you know some additional funding from RD you know it's probably

[16:51] getting a loan from RD it's not an issue >> it's when you ask for grant money that's

[16:56] there's no grant money available >> right

[16:58] » they went from they went to RD went down from $18 million allotted by the feds to

[17:02] the state down to four million that's for all projects in the state right

[17:06] » four million grant So, you know, >> that's great money's done dried up.

[17:11] » Yes. So, it would be loan. We just have to and I talked to uh Eric from HWI. So,

[17:18] he's going to put the the cost factor together. So, he's going to look at a

[17:21] shortterm fix and a longer term fix. So, he's going to put all that stuff

[17:25] together for you guys. So when we meet with Pat, we'll have uh HWI in there as

[17:31] well so he can hold the numbers >> because if we do anything moving forward

[17:36] like you know we've got one new sewer pump hanging over there. We've got a

[17:39] rail that's broken that them pumps right on. So we need to replace that second

[17:43] rail and I for the life of me do not understand why when this project was wet

[17:48] there were no spare parts. only suit system I ever seen put in where there

[17:53] wasn't a spare main lip pump station pump there in inventory [clears throat]

[17:57] or for the small lift station. >> You didn't wrong answer on that, didn't

[18:00] you? >> What's that?

[18:01] » Did you want an answer on that? >> No, but you know, most of them have

[18:03] spare parts. But we need to move forward out of this deal. If we're going to

[18:08] spend a little more money with with the USDA, we need to at least have a backup

[18:13] there because this being one heartbeat away from

[18:16] » No, I think that goes that goes without >> because I know that's what RD is kind of

[18:19] wanting us to do is get ourselves in a row

[18:22] » to where we've got some backup >> and most of the systems I'm working with

[18:25] now, they always got spirits. >> Yep. We need redundancy in our system

[18:29] » and because if something happens like happens

[18:32] » Yeah. then you don't have anything to go back to and then you have to, you know,

[18:36] hunt hunt around for stuff. >> No, we're not going to be doing that.

[18:40] » Something's better than nothing. >> So anyway, that's what we needed kind of

[18:44] a time frame from you guys. I don't care. This month probably shot, but

[18:49] October sometime it' be fine. >> Okay.

[18:54] » No, you tell me when you guys are going to be available.

[18:57] » I'm flexible. the evening.

[19:03] » Okay. Well, I work evenings. I don't know about RD.

[19:07] Well, RD probably let me uh let me go and talk to him

[19:13] about October. Seem like he's got some free time.

[19:15] » Okay. >> And I'll tell him, you know,

[19:19] » if you do, I'd be best. >> Yeah. Okay.

[19:22] » All right. So, I'll talk to him about that. Um,

[19:27] [laughter] that shouldn't be an issue. The as far

[19:29] as the rate increase, I I went to minimum 5%. Uh, at the end of the year,

[19:35] we'll we'll have a better idea how much you guys actually need to maintain the

[19:39] system. >> So, it's up to you guys. You either do

[19:42] it now or we'll have, you know, I mean, the reason I did 5% was kind of so it

[19:47] wouldn't be so bad at the end, >> right? So, I went 5%. So, you know,

[19:52] let's say it's 15% or something like that. Well, you've already done five, so

[19:55] you don't have to do 10. I mean, kind of chopped it up a little bit. So, you

[19:59] wouldn't have, you know, as heavy a hit at one time. [snorts]

[20:02] That's what you typically like to do is kind of do increments,

[20:05] » you know, until you get up to what you need. You can't go one to one. You can't

[20:10] just, you know, what's revenue coming in and expenses going out. You gota be a

[20:14] little bit >> overhead because if something happens

[20:17] and you need you need extra funding there's no there's no money there.

[20:21] » There's no savings there to be able to get to to have any you know to be able

[20:25] to do that then who are you going to borrow from?

[20:27] » Yeah. >> And a store in the bank.

[20:30] » Yeah. >> Yeah. You could, but but you don't have

[20:33] any funds. You know, water or sewer can't really borrow from each other.

[20:38] » And the town, you can't really you could borrow from the town if they had any

[20:41] available funds. But you know better than I do what what is available to

[20:45] that. >> So I mean it's one of those situations

[20:48] that that you know the ratio will be a little higher than one to one so that

[20:53] you have some buffer in there that you can put some money in the savings in

[20:56] case something >> you know to have 15 20% would be ideal.

[21:00] We're a little higher, but we know we need

[21:02] » Well, but it's the same plan that you had, too.

[21:04] » Yep. >> You know, so that's one of the

[21:07] situations and we'll get a better idea. I mean, the loan rates from RD right

[21:11] now, [clears throat] they're probably they're

[21:14] higher than they they have been in the past, but you know, but they're still

[21:19] they're lower in the bank. >> Yeah.

[21:21] » So, I'll get I'll get a hold of that. See when we can do something in October.

[21:26] Um, >> now what's our new guy's name? I know we

[21:29] had Pat Call. We dealt with on rates. >> This is This is Pat Mard.

[21:34] » Yeah. What's What's his name?

[21:40] » I don't remember. >> Okay. Well,

[21:42] » they Well, the thing is [laughter] John McGee is gone.

[21:45] » Yeah. Yeah. Now, >> the office is gone. There's no longer an

[21:49] office there. That's coming out of Knox. >> Yep.

[21:52] » All the way down. Um so, you know, they've they've cut staff as well.

[21:59] » [clears throat] >> So, it's kind of hard to tell sometimes.

[22:01] Oh, yeah. Once a month what's going on, but he's still there. I know that he's

[22:05] been there a while. They've transferred him from another department into doing

[22:09] RD loans. So, so, you know, every time I talk to him, you

[22:16] know, he's he's perfectly willing to work with you. Like I said, they're

[22:20] perfectly willing to let you guys stand on month to month.

[22:22] » Yeah. Could that help? >> That that'd be good. But I mean I like

[22:25] the monthto month that we don't have that great big

[22:28] » probably like the month to month.

[22:32] » You ain't got that big got number. >> So I I don't nobody has a problem with

[22:36] that. So I think we can leave that as it is.

[22:40] » Yeah, >> that's it.

[22:43] [clears throat] Um, the only thing I'm going to get was your water guy. Um,

[22:48] they're requiring us to do a what they call a risk and resilience assessment of

[22:54] your system both water and wastewater and then do an emergency response plan

[22:59] from that. I requires you to have emergency response plan. So they're they

[23:05] used to call them vulner vulnerability assessments. Now we're doing what they

[23:09] call and then we'll get with I won't [clears throat] bother

[23:19] » I know >> I got so many projects anyway with Brent

[23:22] we'll go over all that stuff and then I'll go ahead and do the RA and I'll

[23:27] » I know at one point in time they were talking they were kind of ding us

[23:30] because we didn't have a backup generator

[23:34] that was that >> okay backup generator generate the

[23:38] water. Yeah. >> Yeah, that's still they're still running

[23:43] that. Yes. >> Okay.

[23:45] » I don't know why we didn't they didn't add that into

[23:47] » Well, that water pro last water project when CO hit was so damn upside down that

[23:53] [clears throat] we cut it out of the project, you know, because simply we

[23:56] couldn't afford it. And then when that project got all kinds of money knocked

[24:01] off of it, we'd already submitted it. We couldn't come back and bring it in.

[24:05] » Yeah. Then they turned right around. Yeah, not a whole lot of money left. I

[24:10] think the generator was 200 grand on that.

[24:12] » Well, I'm talking about the the the grand the grand of the

[24:16] » of the grand. >> But we wouldn't let they wouldn't let us

[24:20] come back and put the generator back on the table because trust me, I tried.

[24:25] » Okay. Well, >> so

[24:26] » maybe we can try again. >> Yeah,

[24:28] » just for the generator. >> This is um I put it up there

[24:33] for the water. [snorts] Wait a second.

[24:43] » Mike, will they get mad at us if we share a generator? Like we've got a

[24:47] generator for the lift station, the big one

[24:50] » and all the portable >> and because it be I remember it's 200

[24:57] was that 230ome thousand they want the generator in that waterproof land I

[25:02] think in the last. Oh yeah, my understanding it's not big

[25:06] enough is big enough. The voltage is different on so we'd have to put step

[25:10] down trans >> but it it will

[25:12] » Yes, you could use a you can use a trans use a trans.

[25:15] » Yeah, we can use a a step down >> as long as it meets your requirements to

[25:18] run the plant >> because that would be a whole lot

[25:21] cheaper to use an existing you know and then all we've got to do is have

[25:24] electrician come in and put in a buck and boost transformer.

[25:27] » Yeah. I mean systems that I've operated in the past

[25:29] » we had both >> affordable right and then we had

[25:34] stationaries stationary is usually at the plant then we

[25:38] stations but yeah I mean as long as you as long as it's working

[25:43] and meets the requirements of the plant >> you gota make sure it does because yeah

[25:48] they check the voltage and does it

[25:52] without power you're not going to have wells anything Yeah.

[25:57] » Right. So, what's what's the generator going to run?

[26:00] » It'll run well. >> They don't have one for each pump.

[26:03] » No, they run all feed off of one central feed there.

[26:06] » Yeah. They're all now powered off this building. They no longer get it from

[26:09] everywhere. >> You won't have any waste water.

[26:13] » Yeah. Typically, >> um

[26:20] but sometimes sometimes you have something happen.

[26:22] » Yeah. electrical there that you need to you need to have a generator like part

[26:28] of the system is down so you need a generator for near that part of the

[26:31] system. So you know I said we you know we got big ones we got small ones

[26:37] they work but stationary is the optimum they want stationaries if you like you

[26:44] had the plant assigned you know you had it on there but then you took it off.

[26:49] Yeah. So, >> you know, like I said, make sure that

[26:54] that that that portable is [snorts]

[27:00] » and then we'll do we'll do the risk and resilience assessment with with you guys

[27:05] and then we'll do VRP and then we'll get that to uh get the copies to you guys.

[27:10] You have to keep a copy as always at the at the water plant and at the wastewater

[27:16] plant. Okay? and your your operator plant knows all about those. I'm sure

[27:21] Gary knows that if they they can dingy on it. If they ask you for it and you

[27:25] don't have it, they can ding >> and if you want further funding, there's

[27:31] issue comes up, you need further funding from RD or from SRF,

[27:35] » you got you have so that's, you know, so there'll be a couple of more things.

[27:41] I'll work with Michelle on the uh annual report for RD

[27:45] and we'll do that after the first of year. They typically want it by October,

[27:49] November, but you don't have your year end data.

[27:53] So I said, "No, we're going to do at the end of the year when you have all your

[27:56] datm

[28:08] is March." So they like to have it early.

[28:11] » Yeah. >> We got a little wiggle around. We'll do

[28:13] it. We'll get it done in January. Be done with it.

[28:16] » I hope so. >> Well, that's just that's just you and me

[28:22] » doing it. So I've done plenty of

[28:27] [clears throat] >> Well,

[28:31] we can't we don't have control over. So anyway, unless there's, like I said,

[28:38] I did a basic 5%. That's what I did that. And that was only because I didn't

[28:43] want to hit you with a higher percent at the end that you

[28:47] But you know, it's up to you guys to wait [clears throat]

[28:50] um till the end of the year. I mean, it wasn't going to go into effect until the

[28:54] end of the year anyway. So January first typically that's what you do this time

[28:59] of year to implement a new rate increase. So, like I said, it's up to

[29:04] you. You have all the data you need. Scott's got a copy. Michelle's got

[29:09] copies. So, know what it looks like. >> What were you going to say?

[29:15] » Get with Michelle. She can laugh when we can do that. What do you call R?

[29:20] » Yeah. >> Just

[29:21] » Yeah. Yeah. She She knows how to get a hold of.

[29:29] [laughter] >> All righty. Anything else you guys need

[29:34] [clears throat]

[29:36] today?

[29:41] » I think that's pretty well got it on the water end of things.

[29:45] » Know when you make that date. >> Yeah.

[29:48] » Yeah. Well, I'll I'll talk to uh Pat probably tomorrow or Thursday.

[29:53] » Okay. >> And I'll get with I'll let Michelle know

[29:56] what he's got. >> All right.

[29:57] » For a date and see if that means if you guys are okay with that.

[30:00] » All right. >> Right.

[30:02] Thank you. >> Thanks.

[30:03] » Thank you. >> Can I hear a thumb?

[30:07] [clears throat] >> Next thing in new business is sidewalks.

[30:12] » I put that on there because [clears throat]

[30:16] people on your sidewalks [cough] last week or the week before me and Bob

[30:20] went around sidewalk. Couple of them are pretty bad, but some of them there's

[30:26] grats basically. They're flat, but there's grass growing.

[30:30] We don't have any money to fix those. >> They don't look any different now. They

[30:34] look >> most bought that property with sidewalk

[30:39] like that. >> Yeah.

[30:41] » So, [clears throat] I mean,

[30:44] » and how many people if you did have a good sidewalk, how many people would you

[30:47] see walking down if they're going to walk down the middle of the damn street?

[30:51] [clears throat] >> You know, I think at one time he gave

[30:53] him a take, they take it out, you know.

[30:59] hit me, John. Yeah. >> One time you get they get box and you

[31:02] don't like it, you take it out. >> Yeah.

[31:05] » Wasn't Jack Co was going to take his out. That's what

[31:07] » he did. >> Yeah, he took his out.

[31:13] » John Benton house. He took his out. >> Yeah, Benton took his out.

[31:17] » I knew there were several, but I mean, you know,

[31:20] » I should It's kind of rough m sidewalk, [laughter]

[31:25] but I do

[31:29] I think God gives off option again. If they want to take them out, take them

[31:32] out. >> Yeah. If they're bad, just take them

[31:34] out. >> What do you guys think?

[31:38] » I mean, I would give them the option because if they go in there and say, you

[31:41] know, me or Fred or any of us in here goes and decides we want to pour a new

[31:45] sidewalk, guess what? Them jack legs at the courthouse going to charge us

[31:50] property taxes on it. >> So, I take it out.

[31:54] Yeah, >> I mean

[31:57] that's that's my thoughts on the matter. So I would just leave it at that.

[32:04] » You want to make a motion? >> Yep. I'll make a motion. We'll leave the

[32:07] sidewalk up to the homeowner >> or the property

[32:10] » distance from center street. >> Well, but see that varies from street to

[32:16] street, doesn't it, Bob? >> There's God, I wish I knew where that

[32:20] map was. >> And you should have some liability

[32:22] there. Yeah, you're right.

[32:25] » So, but I forget I forget.

[32:28] » Are you opening yourself up for something? I mean, well, tell them.

[32:33] [laughter] >> I probably [clears throat] check before

[32:36] you go vote on something. >> Yeah, it probably might not be a bad

[32:39] idea. We get our legal minion in here. That's a sue happy world.

[32:45] Yeah, correct. They want to see whether in tech

[32:52] » anybody threaten to sue us. I mean

[32:56] » you have a liability if you have that >> so whether

[33:05] it's just a easement fight. It's not >> Yeahates

[33:09] the ement too. >> It's not it's not a sidewalk. It's an

[33:13] easement. >> Yeah.

[33:15] » Yeah. You got >> let's let's take the vote on that and

[33:20] talk to Scott and [clears throat] get Scott here the next meeting and you know

[33:25] make a little more informed decision but you know [snorts] they Steve does have

[33:33] good points. >> Yeah.

[33:42] » Okay. Several residents have called and concerned about farm animals in town,

[33:49] » particularly pigs. [laughter]

[33:55] » At one time, you can probably back up and find this. At one time, there was an

[33:58] ordinance in this town. This goes way back. I used to own the lots on the far

[34:03] side of town over here where Mick Hagga built his house, the lots next to it.

[34:08] Jim Moore had horses in there at that time. And they passed an ordinance that

[34:12] no farm animals would be inside the city limits of Dana.

[34:15] » Same ordinance they had about the dogs. >> If you were raising dogs, you had to

[34:20] have a killing license. >> So you need back up and find your

[34:23] ordinances. >> But then they revise them at the for 4

[34:28] age. They're going to allow. >> When did that come in effect? 18 now.

[34:33] » Has it? >> It's now quite a while.

[34:36] » Yeah, it has. So, they could have pigs right now. You're saying they're in 4.

[34:42] » Yeah. >> Don't do that because hurry.

[34:46] » Well, you can know real easy because one of them that's raised in hell lives over

[34:50] on my street. Well, I got I got them pigs for my kids. They're not old enough

[34:56] to be in the 4. >> Exactly.

[34:58] » So, that's that, >> you know. Oh, they got turkeys loose.

[35:02] Those were for they said >> about over here.

[35:05] » Yeah, >> they ain't got any bite. Don't think

[35:09] kids are old enough to be in a program for you for

[35:16] up there and find out who is all. >> Yeah,

[35:19] » exactly. Can >> is a

[35:24] commercial pig. >> You just said two words right there that

[35:27] don't even go together. Big [laughter] >> Yeah, I mean it's

[35:32] » they just said, you know, the biggest farm animal.

[35:36] » That's right. >> Yeah,

[35:37] » I agree. I don't like >> now little teacup

[35:40] one. You got back this everyone. Yeah. >> You know, don't pick and choose. You got

[35:44] to do them all. >> Yeah.

[35:48] [clears throat] >> It was It was brought up about Kyle

[35:50] having goats over there. They weren't outside. They were inside the building.

[35:54] » They were never outside over at that church.

[35:58] We have no evidence now. So doesn't matter anyway.

[36:08] » So

[36:13] » well, we might just want to have to pull up our ordinance. Let's research it a

[36:17] little bit. Get with communion, Scotty. And

[36:22] » we need to then have something. Yeah, you got it right there.

[36:27] » But also >> like Steve is saying, you can find out

[36:32] who's got >> Yeah.

[36:35] » I mean, they got to be >> Yeah.

[36:40] » Yeah.

[36:48] could be raising it for food. >> No, because this particular pig was

[36:54] raised by um a guy here in town, but he raised

[36:58] them out of his dad's >> and all them pigs, the pigs being 35

[37:03] pounds basically since February, March. There's something wrong with the pig.

[37:08] It's never going to get any bigger. They fed and fed and fed and fed it and it

[37:11] just stays at 35 pounds. So it it's not >> you're buying [cough] food.

[37:22] [clears throat] >> Here, Bob, let me see that. I'll just

[37:25] read it out loud. Everybody's got a lot of questions.

[37:34] » Town has determined it is necessary to revise its existing ordinance concerning

[37:39] keeping of certain animals in order to better protect the health and safety of

[37:43] the citizens and animals residing within town. Blah blah blah. Section blah blah

[37:48] blah. Town of Dana is amended set forth below. It shall be unlawful to have or

[37:55] keep any hooked animals, including but not limited to swine, horses, mules, or

[38:01] cattle within town limits. Provided, however, that goats, sheep, and fowl

[38:08] except roosters are permitted. So as long as they are kept at least 50 feet

[38:13] away from any residence unless the owner intended if applicable of the residence

[38:21] within 50 ft give written consent. Addition in addition the owner of

[38:27] permitted animal shall not permit any such animal to run at large in the town.

[38:34] Uh this was adopted June 11, 2024.

[38:39] » Yeah. Because I remember the ordinance before this, the reversion before it had

[38:44] the 4H in it >> and I think that got struck down a

[38:48] couple years ago when we >> there.

[38:52] » So >> pretty good answer.

[38:55] » No. >> Nope.

[39:07] Okay. >> So, that's pretty much self-explanatory

[39:10] on that one right there. >> What's the solution?

[39:15] » Get rid of the animal. You ain't supposed to have them.

[39:17] » Yeah. >> Common sense tells you you don't keep a

[39:19] pig. >> Well, I mean, they should call.

[39:23] » Yeah. Right.

[39:34] » Yeah. >> Why would they talk to CB if it's

[39:38] already written there? [cough and laughter] It's already

[39:41] explained out. There's nothing to explain.

[39:43] » Yeah. >> Other than it's an ordinance. They can't

[39:45] have them. What's their >> Take that to them. Show it to them.

[39:48] » Yeah. >> Get on their nose and get rid of

[39:50] laminate it and say, "Here's the tip. Here's the

[39:55] » make me a copy of that and I'll go deliver it to Elmo this evening."

[39:58] » I don't think it's CB's fault to, you know, it's not going to say quit putting

[40:03] it back. Push it. If if you give them notice and tell them get rid of the damn

[40:07] pig and they don't do it, then you can have CV go.

[40:09] » Yeah. >> It shouldn't be his job to go over there

[40:12] and tell him to do something that's already in ordinance.

[40:14] » Yeah, that's true. >> I agree. So if you want to make me a

[40:18] copy of that, I'll deliver that after the meeting this evening and tell them

[40:21] you got 15 days. The anchor goes byebye. >> How many days?

[40:25] » 15 days. I think that's a reasonable amount of time. Is it not?

[40:28] » Yeah. >> CB is that reasonable amount. 15 days.

[40:32] » That's everybody on the mornings. I figured like for the abandoned vehicles

[40:37] and the grass, a lot of people work jobs, a lot of people, you know, start

[40:40] stuff. I figured, >> you know, two weeks was enough time to

[40:44] to arrange to get the grass mowed or to get things removed from properties and

[40:49] things like that. So, and I told people that, you know, if they needed an

[40:53] extension to get like, you know, some of the junk vehicles, if they needed to to

[40:58] get an extension to call, you know, [clears throat] up here to work

[41:01] something out with the board members, you know, because, you know, as long as

[41:05] they're working on getting things like I've seen that like there's been five or

[41:10] six, you know, junk vehicles that's been removed. I know like different scrap

[41:13] yards takes a long time, you know, can be busy or not want to get out here to

[41:17] pick things up and people can't tow things themselves. I told people, you

[41:21] know, as long as you're working on it and you make arrangements with the

[41:24] board, they're going to be okay with that.

[41:26] » Make it an effort attempt,

[41:29] » right? So, I mean, yeah, as long as people are trying to and I think 15 days

[41:34] is plenty and if they need more, they can ask for more as long as they're

[41:38] working on it and they can show that they're working on it.

[41:41] So, I do have a question about violations [laughter]

[41:46] any of the ordinance. Is it only a one time violation or is it a new violation

[41:53] every day that they're out of ordinance? >> Uh, how do we have that see?

[42:02] » What do you want? What are you >> like? Say if we write

[42:04] » just >> say we write to Joe Oddfell over here a

[42:09] ticket for uh or tell him hey you need to clean up your weeds and then 30 days

[42:14] or 15 days then 30 days goes by and he doesn't clean them up

[42:19] » and and we write him a ticket. >> So that citation then that gives him

[42:23] another 30 days before he gets another one typically. Correct.

[42:28] » It doesn't have to be. No, >> I have to go back and look at how the

[42:31] ordinance is written on that section. But I Let me look at it here.

[42:36] » I think that's what she was asking. You know, what's the is you know, it's not

[42:40] every day you're going to get one, but there'll be a

[42:42] » there's a lot of towns that do that. >> Yeah. And I think that like

[42:56] » So sometimes if you want to be serious about your ordinances, you might have to

[43:01] start being a little bit more serious on the violations on the and how much the

[43:06] violation is and how often if it's going to be day to day, if you're going to do

[43:10] it week to week because a lot of people have become emboldened and entitled

[43:14] and they're just going to do whatever the hell they want to do because that's

[43:18] just what it's been. >> Yeah. [clears throat] Well, a lot of

[43:21] them I know in the past is like, just go ahead and find me. You know, I'm just I

[43:25] won't pay it. You can put it on my property taxes. But when you uh get to a

[43:30] certain point where you know, hey, we've given you a warning and three tickets.

[43:34] Now, you know, we're going to arrest you for, you know, I don't want to be civil

[43:39] disobedience or, you know, whatever. not doing, you know, fulfilling your getting

[43:44] your property cleaned up or whatever it may be. That might get their attention.

[43:49] » I have a question for you on 109. What is actually

[43:54] » need to be done? >> 109 and like me

[43:58] » Sycamore Street there next to the corner.

[44:04] » I I couldn't tell. I I haven't seen >> where the trailer was.

[44:07] » Yeah. Where the RV at. >> Okay.

[44:09] » Yeah. I I I can't exactly. Uh Fred's got that glitch down there.

[44:16] » You know about your trailer where you're living at the modular.

[44:20] » Well, first of all, you can't live in the modular. You're in the in the mobile

[44:23] home, the RV. You can't live in it. It's against ordinance in town. It ain't an

[44:26] ordinance. It's a state. You can't live full

[44:42] » the the leaves and the,

[44:46] you know, the trash that's laying in the yard. All the cans laying in the yard

[44:50] and stuff like that.

[44:58] » Yard.

[45:11] Okay. Specifically have

[45:16] » it's been determined that the property is violation because of nauseous weeds

[45:22] overgrowth. me.

[45:26] » This contains adverse public health, safety, and public need.

[45:34] » She's a pro.

[45:47] [clears throat]

[45:50] » That's all.

[45:53] » Okay. that in order to stay off

[46:03] the trash. >> Okay.

[46:06] » The one right behind your RV. >> Oh, okay.

[46:14] [clears throat] >> Oh, okay.

[46:20] » They don't pull it out. Huh? What? Kevin,

[46:24] he's having enough trouble just trying to say hi.

[46:30] Uhhuh. And uh all he said

[46:41] got my favorite sugars and preservatives.

[46:45] » I got cop that up. You want to read it?

[46:52] I'll read it.

[47:03] Moving on.

[47:08] » [snorts] >> The clerk's treasure had received a

[47:10] letter from tap law firm stating er former sewer operators are claiming the

[47:19] town of Dana and breach of contract. The town attorney has been contacted

[47:25] have been contact with tap law firm concerning this mattered

[47:32] by

[47:35] » our previous operators. Yes,

[47:40] which if I remember correctly and again legal meaning can

[47:47] fill us in better, but >> what they going to do?

[47:52] » Yeah, I don't think we were under contract

[47:56] anyway. We we signed another one. But

[48:02] there was backing

[48:07] contract was >> now usually the contract three years

[48:12] period. >> Yeah.

[48:14] » And >> but they also were in violation of

[48:19] several things and they made >> we're supposed to get a Sue report every

[48:24] month. We didn't get that. So that that breached their contract.

[48:28] » Yeah. they agreed to. So, it's going to be one of those toss back and forth. And

[48:36] » also, I'm gonna go back to let everybody know that our police officer is in

[48:42] charge of enforcing ordinances. It is literally in his job description that he

[48:47] signed a paper that says he will enforce ordinances. I am not a police officer.

[48:52] and town residents call me up and expect me to enforce that I'm not knocking on

[48:57] people's doors and the not so police officer is that is his job

[49:08] in the town >> he is in the town

[49:11] » when he's on call but he don't live in town

[49:15] » he doesn't have to

[49:19] » so many miles he can >> still Yeah,

[49:23] » I think the county even changed that through the

[49:26] » state. [clears throat]

[49:39] The reason I bring this up is because himself was here in one of these

[49:43] meetings a while back, several meetings ago, so you could attest to this is he

[49:49] would let people know that when they call in here, it's not an

[49:53] official police report by calling. They have to call me to make it a report. So,

[50:01] when they called me complaining about these various [snorts] different things,

[50:04] I mean, yeah, I'm going to be I I'm here. They're going to complain to me. I

[50:08] did that and I will pass it along to TV, but I am not a police officer. I'm just

[50:14] letting people know that. So, I that's why I informed TV. But if they call you

[50:19] and you say you're going to pass it on to CB, you're putting yourself in the

[50:22] middle. Won't you just tell them to contact?

[50:24] » I do tell them to contact it, but I also let CB know that call,

[50:30] » but it's not official by me doing that. It's only official if they call them

[50:34] themselves. [clears throat]

[50:38] » I miss I missed completely what we were talking about.

[50:43] » Thanks. >> That was in your memo.

[50:53] Next thing on new business is on October 14th, 2026

[51:00] items water quality conducted an inspection of Dana Waterworks

[51:06] type inspection san. The copy of inspection has given to the

[51:13] board. What was that

[51:23] » big?

[51:30] » I see all stuff need to be fixed. You got deadline to get fixed.

[51:33] » Y

[51:36] » I didn't see a deadline.

[51:43] Some of the things

[52:10] we're getting Close. [clears throat]

[52:13] [snorts] >> What did you fix already?

[52:16] » We fixed the tea in there that has the chemical goes into it. Was really rusty.

[52:19] We cleaned it up and painted it. We fixed the wells that had some settling

[52:24] from when the project happened. We got the uh old

[52:31] filter stuff out of the well out of the pump house because Gary says he didn't

[52:36] know how old it was. It probably was no good. So media media media. That's it.

[52:40] It's gone. That's all cleaned up. I've got it all finished out today. We've got

[52:44] all we can do done except what there [clears throat]

[52:52] for [clears throat]

[52:58] » that just has to be brought up. [cough]

[53:04] Next thing on the new business is Spur Law Office to speak about sex offenders

[53:11] law. >> Okay. Um I'm John Spur. I'm county

[53:14] attorney and I'm also the chief of reserves for the sheriff's office. Um

[53:20] each county sheriff's department has to maintain a registry of any people that

[53:24] are on the sex offender registry that live in that county. And it's a

[53:28] searchable map. You can go to it online and zoom down on your neighborhood and

[53:31] see who in your neighborhood is on the sex offender registry if anybody. Uh Jim

[53:36] Miller is the jail commander and he's in charge of maintaining that registry for

[53:40] the sheriff's office. He said one of the problems he's been having is when he'll

[53:44] get a complaint that somebody's on the registry and they were spotted say in a

[53:49] park or at a a little league game or something. Trying to go in and determine

[53:54] if that person is prohibited from being there is difficult because they don't

[53:58] all come here from this county. Sometimes they've been placed on the

[54:02] registry in another county or even another state and it's the orders aren't

[54:08] all uniform. And you kind of looked into what other places are doing. You said

[54:12] other counties and other cities are just creating an ordinance that says sex

[54:17] offenders can't be in recreational areas. So I looked at a bunch of

[54:21] different places. I think I we finally [laughter] we finally decided Pioli's

[54:26] looked like the best fit for here. So, we took that one and we modified it to

[54:30] to suit Vermillion County, City of Clinton, and then all the towns in the

[54:35] county. We've been going around to each board offering a draft ordinance if if

[54:39] if they want to take it. Um it's it's a starting point and you guys can use it

[54:44] or modify it or ignore it. But we're he's just kind of asking. He couldn't be

[54:48] here tonight his work, >> but uh just asking as many places as

[54:52] possible to enact it. Then it gets easy if somebody we just make a chart of all

[54:57] the towns and and the city and the county. The county's already enacted it

[55:01] and I think Universal Perry'sville, KUA, and Newport have already jumped on

[55:06] it. City of Clinton has it. I don't know if they've signed it yet. And

[55:10] ironically, I live closest to Fairview Town Hall, but haven't been able to make

[55:13] it one of their meetings yet. Um, but anyway, uh, uh, then he can just make a

[55:18] chart and if somebody says, "Hey, this guy was in the park in this city." Okay,

[55:22] well, they've enacted the ordinance. I'm just going to go write this person. It's

[55:25] a $2,500 fine to hopefully get and and it helps too because some places will

[55:29] say like they can't be in a park, but it's a walking trail a park, is a boat

[55:34] ramp, a park, is kayak access park. And so it just helps make uniform. If you're

[55:38] on the sex offender registry, you can't go to those places. It does not and

[55:43] cannot constitutionally bar them like you couldn't bar somebody from coming to

[55:46] the town hall or going to the water department to pay their water bill or

[55:50] something. You can't but you can borrow them from recreational areas. So it is

[55:54] what it is. And you want to give this quick looking over

[56:06] [laughter]

[56:16] » I pretty get him a copy in his hand. >> Sit and digest it. So

[56:22] all right that works for me

[56:29] Next meeting.

[56:36] » Okay. >> 24.

[56:57] » [clears throat] [laughter]

[57:06] » question.

[57:09] » Oh yes.

[57:37] » [clears throat]

[57:58] [snorts] >> You getting closer, Michelle?

[58:05] » Yeah.

[58:09] » Any questions on reports? >> No.

[58:16] question. >> No,

[58:25] » get it.

[58:32] » I didn't get the report and I don't know where

[58:48] come here or

[58:52] you talk about being here.

[59:04] » Do you have a monthly statement on gall through the sewer treatment?

[59:20] That's one of the things I want to look at.

[59:23] I would like a copy of that. Directory copy

[59:30] the right word they use thinking on the same track.

[59:35] And I have not got a quote back from that guy yet that uh he's down in

[59:40] Louisville, Kentucky. He was the guy that for fixing that underground leak.

[59:43] » Did you talk to D about that by chance? >> Uh no,

[59:46] » they they just did a deal where they put a sewer system in and had a very severe

[59:52] leak and they pumped that's they he can tell you the company that came in

[59:56] locally. >> Yeah.

[59:58] It's like a

[1:00:03] and it just flows around wherever it goes and shield it up like 15 minutes.

[1:00:07] » Yeah. And I know this guy out of Louisville, that's who B&T recommended.

[1:00:12] I had to send him the diameter, how far down it was, and then he going to send

[1:00:16] me a quote. He sent a rough guesstimation what it be. So, but I have

[1:00:22] not heard heard anything back.

[1:00:34] 47% water. >> Yeah.

[1:00:37] » Yeah. >> 47% water.

[1:00:40] » Okay.

[1:00:51] » But that was probably prior to the main over there. Couple other.

[1:00:56] » Yeah. >> Would you believe?

[1:00:57] » Oh, yeah. >> You got a pretty good leak over there.

[1:01:01] » Yeah, you got a pretty good leak over there.

[1:01:08] » That was a good

[1:01:11] [clears throat]

[1:01:17] » Any questions on the report? >> Nope.

[1:01:21] » Okay. >> Anything?

[1:01:28] and public safety CB.

[1:01:34] So you want me to move to the next section. So

[1:01:39] you guys will as a board will have to look at the section I already done and

[1:01:43] then let me know what you think on those ones and then you guys can ride with me

[1:01:48] one day or you can ride on by yourself. just as soon as all of you guys submit

[1:01:54] what ones you think needs to be done, I'll type up the warnings and then uh

[1:01:59] I'll give you guys a copy of it to look to see, you know, make sure everything

[1:02:03] is good on that. So, that's that. Um for August, I had 85 hours that I

[1:02:11] worked. There's two hours of overtime um that was done because of a search

[1:02:16] warrant late at night after I already had all my hours in for that pay period.

[1:02:21] Um I worked 16 shifts which averaged out of 5.3 hours per ship. Um I had three

[1:02:28] hours of continuing education for the month of August. I patrolled 500 miles,

[1:02:33] used 42 gallons of gas, had 53 uh police services in town, which consisted of two

[1:02:42] accidents, two assisting agencies, a ticket, two warnings, 53 ordinance vi or

[1:02:48] 13 ordinance violations, and 15 other violations or calls for service, which

[1:02:53] included a couple fights and a couple other things. So, other than that,

[1:02:58] that's all I had. Any questions on anything that's mine for the month?

[1:03:04] » How are you doing on supplies? Anything you got upcoming you see you're going to

[1:03:07] need? >> Yeah, we have some things that I'm going

[1:03:10] to have to begin probably the first [clears throat] of the year or so, but

[1:03:14] we can talk about that. >> Nothing you got to have right now.

[1:03:18] » Nothing that has to be done this month or next, but yeah, something probably

[1:03:23] should start talking about to figure out how we're going to cost for it stuff.

[1:03:26] So, [clears throat] >> yeah.

[1:03:31] start putting together wish list what you think you're going to be for next

[1:03:34] year when you start dealing with that

[1:03:39] closer. [clears throat] >> Do we have any water just

[1:03:47] » next

[1:03:51] up? This is um for it's an ordinance or consisting of for the wedding that

[1:04:02] you guys want to have

[1:04:15] » you just got the board just assignment on the last page. [laughter]

[1:04:20] Um read it and everything else

[1:04:26] » you want me to read that

[1:04:36] » we're not invest

[1:04:48] » Oh Yeah, we can't farm it. It's a swamp. >> Yeah. Come look at my yard. You need a

[1:04:55] motion. Second on this

[1:04:59] motion to accept it. >> Yeah, I'll make a motion to accept it.

[1:05:04] » Any second? >> I'll second.

[1:05:13] [clears throat]

[1:05:24] And next thing is public comment. Don Carter.

[1:05:33] » He's not here. >> Nope.

[1:05:41] I have questions.

[1:05:52] » Okay. Where you at on

[1:05:56] me again? I heard about you tabled or last month,

[1:06:03] » right? >> About whether I could hook RVs up to

[1:06:06] your sewage. Mhm. >> Where are we at on that?

[1:06:09] » Well, we've got to get a determination from

[1:06:14] IDM as to where we've got to get first UMAC were supposed to be here this

[1:06:19] evening to talk with us about where we're at and then go over SE report so

[1:06:24] we can sit here and go, okay, we're permitted for say 60,000 gallon. We

[1:06:29] brought in 56, >> but we don't have the SE report. We

[1:06:33] don't have UMAC here tonight. And that's kind of why I wanted them to be here so

[1:06:37] we can talk about what our goal is to get this down. So

[1:06:41] » do you have maybe I missed it. Do you have this

[1:06:45] month's >> No, you don't have

[1:06:48] » No, that's what we wondering about we haven't got for this month. So

[1:06:53] » that's why we all kind of at a loss, but but no, I understand. Yeah, it's one of

[1:06:59] them we've got to get see where we're at on that number.

[1:07:02] » I don't know. What do we have?

[1:07:09] Let's see. We have one from I get something with apples and there

[1:07:26] I think we met with

[1:07:32] HWC and

[1:07:37] you >> Yep. the other day

[1:07:41] » and they said you're getting caught by 90%.

[1:07:45] » Yeah.

[1:07:51] » So, if you're close to 90%, you got some vacant homes getting ready to move

[1:07:55] people supply. Well, the big thing they'll probably HWC said they'll

[1:08:03] probably let us run right up to the number, but

[1:08:06] we've really got to get this baby fixed out here.

[1:08:10] » And that's what I've got in motion. I waiting on to hear [clears throat] back

[1:08:14] quote and I will catch Don this evening and see

[1:08:19] who that company is. If we can get them in here, we need to get that done.

[1:08:26] But as far as

[1:08:31] » So you got a new home getting ready to go in across the road tracks down here.

[1:08:35] So they're going to be hooked up this week.

[1:08:37] » Yep. Okay, that's all the numbers.

[1:08:47] Okay.

[1:08:53] Yeah. See, we're permitted for 65,

[1:09:00] I believe. So, here we got another >> 65,000 gallons a day

[1:09:06] » is what our [clears throat] permit is for. So, we got a day here for 57.

[1:09:12] This is uh the month of July.

[1:09:16] » Water leaking, correct? >> Yeah, that's what the with the the

[1:09:19] infiltration we have now. And that infiltration is estimated at 10 to

[1:09:24] 15,000 gallons a day. So we're looking at 57. So if we would say that leaks

[1:09:31] 10,000, that would take us down to 47. But just, you know, July 1st 57,000

[1:09:39] gallon. The second is 51,000. The third 58.

[1:09:44] Then for some reason July 4th we're at 84,000.

[1:09:47] Then we're at 84. 84. Yep. And then then it starts getting

[1:09:53] back down into the 50s. Then here's a day at 34,000.

[1:09:58] » Right. But I was just saying what's your average? Do you know what your average?

[1:10:02] » Well, our average is 565,500

[1:10:08] gallons. >> So you're bumped all the time. You're

[1:10:10] bumped at roughly almost 90%. Yep. >> So it tells me your sewer system isn't

[1:10:14] eligible to take care of what was put in for. We can apply for them, but we've

[1:10:20] got to show that we're fixing the infograph.

[1:10:21] » I built two houses after that pasture. Could you deny me talking to the sir?

[1:10:26] » My home is on it. The other homes are on it.

[1:10:28] » Probably not. We were forced on. That's where I'm going with this.

[1:10:32] » Probably not. >> But there is room.

[1:10:37] My understanding there is room. HWC said there was probably going to be room that

[1:10:44] if we're actually working on fixing that problem that they would probably go

[1:10:49] ahead and grant it, but we've got to have something. That's why we're trying

[1:10:53] to get these. Let me ask while you're here because I just spoke to another

[1:10:56] person here in town and you live on that last street where

[1:10:59] » Yeah. >> over there. Do you have trouble? It

[1:11:01] rains a lot flushing your toilet. >> No, never do.

[1:11:04] » All right. Three three people over on that side. All actually all of them on

[1:11:09] this side of it have to go out over their sewer vents after a heavy rain

[1:11:14] flusher toilet. Dog town completely Stewart. I said, "Well, why haven't you

[1:11:20] took it up to the town board? I ain't going to do nothing. You got those big

[1:11:23] holding boxes about out there. >> There's two of them behind the Steuart

[1:11:27] homes. They're plum full." So then when I mentioned this to Don about this water

[1:11:33] leak, he goes, "Yeah, they think," he goes, "I

[1:11:36] somehow when he was on the board, he said he thinks the pipe is bowed under

[1:11:40] the river tracks." Good possibility. >> But to get his sinks and stuff to drain

[1:11:48] after heavy rain, he has to run open the lid.

[1:11:53] What would be a clean out >> to get his toilet flush? That's [snorts]

[1:11:57] what I can't even think of his name. You know what I'm talking about over here on

[1:12:00] the corner. >> Yeah. Jack.

[1:12:03] » No. No. No.

[1:12:08] » Who?

[1:12:11] » Godamn. Excuse. >> Oh, over here on

[1:12:15] » Yeah. All the way down that street. Go ask him

[1:12:19] for all >> Willis. Mark Willis.

[1:12:24] » Yeah. Mark. And then the house next to it.

[1:12:26] » Yeah. Dwight. >> Right. Dwight. See, there's one in

[1:12:30] between. >> Yeah. Now, see them houses there are on

[1:12:34] this lift station here. >> Yeah.

[1:12:36] » The ones if you get on my side. >> You get on Kyle's house and or north of

[1:12:43] Kyle's house, all of ours goes back over here.

[1:12:47] » Yep. >> Light was on trip. What's that light?

[1:12:50] » High high occurrence.

[1:12:54] » Sometimes it'll mean a fault. Other times it's just it's run a bunch.

[1:12:57] » It tripped >> and it'll trip.

[1:12:59] » It's tripped. >> Was it tripped?

[1:13:01] » Yeah. >> Okay. Cuz it has come on before on the

[1:13:04] big one and still be running but it just run so long and then we'll we'll kick

[1:13:09] that >> reset.

[1:13:12] » No.

[1:13:18] » Yeah. So that gives you kind of an idea where

[1:13:21] we're at Steve on that. But we, like I say, we're trying to and when I get done

[1:13:26] with the meeting, I I will probably, if I don't tonight, it'll be tomorrow, I'll

[1:13:30] get a hold of Donald. We'll find out who done that. But that kind of give us an

[1:13:34] idea, you know, where we where we can go with that.

[1:13:44] All that stuff mixed up pretty good now. Okay.

[1:13:50] Anybody else got anything? Thank you.

[1:14:10] » Motion. >> I'll make a motion to adjurnn if there's

[1:14:14] no other public comment. >> Second.

[1:14:17] » Second. >> All in favor? Hi. Hi.

[1:14:21] » Hi. >> Bye. Bye.

[1:14:24] » Glad you got it, Cindy. >> You, too.
