1
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:14,319
regular meeting today. Today is Monday,

2
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:17,840
September the 27th, 2026. The time is

3
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:20,240
now 4:30 p.m. So, I officially want to

4
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,400
call our meeting to order. I had been

5
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,560
waiting for our

6
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,400
guest of honor, but he sort of snuck in

7
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,039
on the back row and took a seat. So, uh,

8
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:30,560
now that he's here she works, we shall

9
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,560
get started. Uh, first thing on our agenda today is that we're

10
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,280
going to be, uh, do a prayer normally,

11
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:39,199
but today we're going to have a moment

12
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:42,000
of silence. Uh, there's been a Kentucky

13
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,160
state trooper down in Warren County, B,

14
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,479
Bowling Green, Kentucky,

15
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:51,440
who was shot today in the line of duty.

16
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,919
We think he's still alive, but want to

17
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:57,280
do a moment of silence in his behalf.

18
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:14,710
So, if you'll bow with me, please.

19
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,599
Thank you all. And if you would please

20
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:20,080
stand as we are going to be led this

21
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,800

To the flag of the United States of

27
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,520
America and to the republic for which it

28
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,199

31
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Now, now Langston is a third grader

32
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,800
>> and by the time he gets to be in the

33
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,919
fifth grade, he's going to be taller

34
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:21,029
than the chief.

35
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:24,240
» Oh, he is also the

36
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,599

00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:30,560
who is a Denver High School 1939

38
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,070

39
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,145
Oh, Ashley, that's my urine. I'm sorry.

40
00:08:36,145 --> 00:08:38,230

>> Thank you sir.

54
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:10,000
Hearing no additions or deletions. Uh

55
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,360
chair would call for the question. All

56
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,200
those in favor of approving our agenda

57
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920

>> I.

59
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:17,920
>> Oh well they got shot today. Those

60
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,399
opposed. Motion carries. Next on our

61
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,720
agenda as we hear the public and uh

62
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,560
those who are present who want to speak

63
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:27,440
to us about things on our agenda uh

64
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,760
today may speak at this time. There's

65
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,920
another opportunity to speak to the

66
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,560
commission about things that are not on

67
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:40,150
our agenda today.

68
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,080
All right. So, hearing none, the next

69
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,640
order of business is uh approval of the

70
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,560
minutes of the previous meeting. Chair

71
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,160
would like to entertain a motion to

72
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,959
approve our minutes.

73
00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:52,399
>> I'll make a motion to approve the

74
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,480

75

>> I.

81
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,959
>> Those opposed? Mot motion carries.

82
00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:14,720
Yeah, I I guess I should say the next

83
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,880
item on the agenda is uh maybe the most

84
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,640
important thing that we will attempt to

85
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,000
do this afternoon. It's one that uh I'm

86
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,040
going to vote no

87
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,360
for this afternoon. and he already knows

88
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,000
that. But uh we want to recognize uh

89
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,160
our retiring

90
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,440
well I should say your retiring police

91
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,519
chief our retiring police chief. Uh,

92
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:46,959
and it's a it's a tough time for us

93
00:10:46,959 --> 00:10:49,600
to have a young man who started off as a

94
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,279
snotty-nosed police officer with the

95
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:54,000
Denver Police Department and has spent

96
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,519
his entire professional career

97
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:01,040
in the Davville Police Department.

98
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,600
That's kind of tough, but he's done just

99
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,279
that. And so, we are very proud and

100
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:08,160
respectful of him for that. Uh and in

101
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,519
spite of the news that we got from

102
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:12,240
Bowling Green today, uh our chief has

103
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,519
been uh through it all with our own

104
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:17,120
police department, but with lots and

105
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,839
lots of police departments

106
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:23,040
throughout the state. That's another

107
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,640
reminder about the thing in Bowling

108
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,360
Green. So you all silence your phones.

109
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Mine

110
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,560
just keeps shocking me, but it's on

111
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:34,000
silence. So, uh

112
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,600
Chief Gray, I guess we should entertain

113
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,440
a motion. uh

114
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,320
to first of all accept your resignation.

115
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,399
I'm sorry.

116
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,880
>> Retirement. Retirement. I'm sorry.

117
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Retirement.

118
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,440
>> I'm I'm I'm all shook up, but that's

119
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:53,839
okay.

120
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:55,200
>> I'm going to make a motion that we

121
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,430
adjourn.

122
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,279
» Whoa.

123
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,200
So that means we would will not have to

124
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,200
address his retirement today. Our

125
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,880
resignation, right?

126
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,639
>> Okay.

127
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:12,079
Is there a motion

128
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:15,760
>> to accept the retirement of

129
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,720
Mr. Chief Tony Gray?

130
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,480
>> I will regretfully make that motion.

131
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,200
>> Okay. Is there a second?

132
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,680
>> I'll second. And I'd like to amend the

133
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:33,200
motion to say official retirement date

134
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:40,230
September 30th, 2030.

135
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,120
» No worries.

136
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,120
>> I got to keep on trying, guys.

137
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,048
>> Yeah,

138
00:12:45,048 --> 00:12:45,120
[clears throat]

139
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,959
>> now before we approve this motion, I'm

140
00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:50,240
going to let Assistant Chief dome come

141
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,720
forward and uh

142
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,120
have a few words of

143
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,800
few comments.

144
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:04,069
The key word in that was few. So,

145
00:13:04,079 --> 00:13:08,560
» Chief Grey leave again. Oh, there he is.

146
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:12,160
>> All right. Mayor, commissioners.

147
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,120
When I first looked at the agenda that

148
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,279
uh for his retirement, it said Mr.

149
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:19,120
Coffee was going to speak, but that's

150
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,959
okay. We've been around each other long

151
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:23,279
enough that I can talk about him and if

152
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:25,519
uh I don't do a good job, we can let him

153
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:26,880
talk about himself. He won't have any

154
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,279
issues with that. No, I'm just kidding.

155
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:32,320
All right. 31 years. I keep saying 30,

156
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,800
but it's really been 31. Chief Gray

157
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,760
started here in 1995.

158
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,399
So, rose up through the ranks, patrol

159
00:13:40,399 --> 00:13:42,240
officer,

160
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,279
detective, which I'm sure there was many

161
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:46,959
occasions he wish he would have stayed

162
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:49,680
as a detective in that bureau.

163
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:54,560
But uh better things await and he became

164
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,880
the administrative sergeant. He was

165
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,279
intram chief,

166
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:01,279
assistant chief, intram chief and then

167
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:03,839
became chief of police.

168
00:14:03,839 --> 00:14:07,199
31 years is a long time to work

169
00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:11,920
anywhere. 31 years in policing

170
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:17,120
>> is forever. and for somebody to serve

171
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,920
with the integrity that he served with.

172
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,880
He is a constant professional. And when

173
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,560
I think about Chief Gray, that is really

174
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,839
what I think about is professionalism

175
00:14:31,839 --> 00:14:34,399
embodied.

176
00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:38,240
He promoted me to his assistant chief. I

177
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,600
think together we were a pretty good

178
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,680
pair. He was professional and calm.

179
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,720
Sometimes I was a little uh

180
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,040
quick to act on things. So one of the

181
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,440
things that he has taught me is to be

182
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,000
patient. Look at things from 360

183
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,320
degrees. Look from things from a higher

184
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,399
vantage point. Plan for the future.

185
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:07,040
I think the Danville Police Department

186
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,680
has soared under his leadership. As you

187
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,440
can see,

188
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,560
the people here tonight to support him.

189
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,160
He won't be replaced, that's for sure.

190
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,880
But he has left this department a lot

191
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,639
better than he found it.

192
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,800
And what good cops want at the end of

193
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,519
the day when they call it a career is

194
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:31,680
for just the people that were served

195
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,079
alongside of them and served either

196
00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:38,800
beside them or under them. is to just be

197
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,240
able to say that guy was a good cop.

198
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,000
>> Tony Gray was a damn good cop.

199
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:54,310
>> Well, thank you. [applause]

200
00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,079
» Uh uh Chief Chief Ray, before you uh

201
00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:02,160
have your your moment of your words to

202
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,920
share with us, I feel a need to

203
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,399
move this motion forward.

204
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:09,680
I said, "I want you to go up and sell

205
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:10,959
them good things and then the vote goes

206
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:14,870
the wrong way." So, [laughter]

207
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,360
when I decided to run for the mayor's

208
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,160
job, I was made some promises by lots of

209
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,519
folks who were part of the city uh city

210
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:27,839
staff. And one was that if I uh

211
00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:30,560
was successful and served uh four years

212
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,240
or eight years or 12 years, whatever the

213
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,720
time might be, that they would uh always

214
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,120
be right there by my side. Got my back,

215
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,839
you know. And uh I pray on early in

216
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:42,320
November I'll get to serve four more

217
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,199
years. But Chief Grace says he'll still

218
00:16:45,199 --> 00:16:46,880
be there and still got my back, but he's

219
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,279
not going to be in uniform. So in case

220
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:50,560
you're wondering why I got this jacket

221
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,880
on today, I got my uh holster on. He's

222
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,480
promised to give me a something to put

223
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,880
into my hoster here. So, we'll see what

224
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,720
happens later on. Okay.

225
00:16:58,720 --> 00:16:59,360
>> Please do.

226
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,959
>> So, we have we have a motion on the

227
00:17:00,959 --> 00:17:04,079
floor and a second to accept uh Chief

228
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:09,919
Grey's official return effective uh 09

229
00:17:09,919 --> 00:17:14,901
30 2030.

230
00:17:14,911 --> 00:17:16,720
[snorts]

231
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,839
>> Is that okay with you, Chief?

232
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:19,199
>> We can do that, but he'll be here.

233
00:17:19,199 --> 00:17:22,079
>> He'll be here. Right. it it's uh

234
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,760
September the 30th, 2026.

235
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,360
So, we're going to do a roll call vote

236
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:29,280
for the record. So, all those in favor

237
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,909
of accepting his retirement.

238
00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:36,000
Commissioner Codle

239
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,160
>> again regretfully.

240
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:38,799
Yes.

241
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:40,320
>> Commissioner Peak.

242
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,960
>> Thank you for your service, Tony. Yes.

243
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,160
>> Mayor Atkins,

244
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,830
>> again, regretfully,

245
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,039
but yes. Commissioner Holland.

246
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:51,679
>> Yes.

247
00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:55,830
>> Commissioner Sris.

248
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,080
» Oh, okay.

249
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,417
>> Congratulations, Chief.

250
00:18:01,417 --> 00:18:19,270
[applause]

251
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,840
Now, I guess you uh

252
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,919
you know the standard protocol is you

253
00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:26,160
get three minutes, but since this might

254
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,679
be this might be your last chance,

255
00:18:27,679 --> 00:18:30,160
you'll

256
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,600
>> we'll just we'll just ignore that one

257
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,120
tonight. Yes, sir.

258
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,240
>> Uh I have just a few comments because

259
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,240
most of the family here is three hours

260
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,760
away

261
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,360
>> and [clears throat] work will come early

262
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:42,720
for them in the morning.

263
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,120
>> Yes.

264
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:47,912
>> But not for me. Oh,

265
00:18:47,922 --> 00:18:50,470
[laughter]

266
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,799
» mayor, you pinned me 15 years ago.

267
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,640
>> 15 years ago. Wow.

268
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,799
>> And uh you let me hang around this long.

269
00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:58,720
So, I guess I didn't mess things up too

270
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,679
badly since you finally let me pick my

271
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:02,799
retirement date.

272
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:04,960
>> Oh, man.

273
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,880
>> First, I'd just like to say God's been

274
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,919
so good to me.

275
00:19:07,919 --> 00:19:12,870
>> Amen. Amen.

276
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:20,549
» It's all right.

277
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:22,640
Can I thank everyone I need to thank by

278
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,640
name.

279
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,799
There are way too many people that have

280
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:29,200
contributed to this incredible chapter

281
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,080
of my life.

282
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,640
Mayor, commissioners, city managers,

283
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,880
fellow city co-workers,

284
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,668
county officials, emergency responders,

285
00:19:39,668 --> 00:19:41,039
[clears throat] community members,

286
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:43,840
friends, classmates,

287
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,840
dispatchers, and most of all the members

288
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,880
of the Danville Police Department.

289
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,720
I am eternally grateful to each and

290
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,720
everyone.

291
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,120
Many are not here, but I recognize I

292
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,960
would not be here without yours and

293
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,960
their support and their grace.

294
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,960
In two more days, my retirement will be

295
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,360
official and this 31-year chapter of

296
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,679
life will end.

297
00:20:07,679 --> 00:20:09,919
It truly has been an honor to serve and

298
00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:12,080
represent a great city and a privilege

299
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:17,190
to lead a great police department.

300
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,840
We have outstanding professional men and

301
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,520
women that we work with daily.

302
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,520
I am confident that they are capable

303
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,200
individuals who will carry on the

304
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,840
values, the rich history and traditions

305
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,360
of the Danville Police Department.

306
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,200
I wish for them a hedge of protection

307
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,880
around them, calm seas, and much success

308
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,789
in their future endeavors.

309
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:45,840
Lastly, but not least,

310
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,679
I give great thanks to my immediate

311
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:50,409
family.

312
00:20:50,409 --> 00:20:50,960
[clears throat]

313
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,840
In 28 of my 31 years, especially the

314
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,840
last 15 years as chief, this job has had

315
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,520
immense

316
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:04,630
repercussions on their lives as well.

317
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,720
Behind the scenes, they have provided a

318
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,520
safe space for confidentiality,

319
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,520
no judgment, and much needed rest.

320
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,400
They've held me up, pushed me forward

321
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,280
with unwavering support in uncertain

322
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,559
times and challenging times.

323
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:25,919
They have sacrificed on my behalf, and

324
00:21:25,919 --> 00:21:28,559
those sacrifices cannot be numbered, nor

325
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:31,360
can they be measured.

326
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:33,200
I appreciate everybody that's in this

327
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,559
room today.

328
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:38,159
those inside the room and those outside.

329
00:21:38,159 --> 00:21:39,440
I want to thank you all for your

330
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,280
comments and support.

331
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,159
>> Thank you.

332
00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:53,669
Chief. [applause]

333
00:21:53,679 --> 00:21:55,840
» Um,

334
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,360
Chief Gray,

335
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,600
>> uh, you're not getting off that easily.

336
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,230
Come on back down front.

337
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,390
This is a roast.

338
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:08,950
[laughter]

339
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,640
» I guess technically you do have me for

340
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,895
two and a half minutes. [laughter]

341
00:22:14,905 --> 00:22:19,270
[snorts]

342
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,720
» I want you to know I got a jacket on

343
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,420
tonight. [laughter]

344
00:22:23,420 --> 00:22:24,559
[snorts]

345
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:25,840
That's not me.

346
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,559
>> Yeah,

347
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:30,870
>> but I

348
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,440
appreciate

349
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:42,630
a few.

350
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,000
Oh, it says Anthony.

351
00:22:47,000 --> 00:23:02,310
[laughter]

352
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:19,086
those things.

353
00:23:19,096 --> 00:23:29,990
[laughter]

354
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,919
What's that used for?

355
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:37,669
>> It's not a get out of jail.

356
00:23:37,679 --> 00:23:49,590
» I don't even pass those out.

357
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,159
» Keep the city.

358
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:54,480
>> Guess I will need one after this.

359
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:06,470
Another

360
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,831
» Yes, sir.

361
00:24:10,841 --> 00:24:12,000
[laughter]

362
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,039
>> Oh, I'm sorry.

363
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:24,070
You don't know this.

364
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,600
My son turned 16 and he told his friends

365
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,400
to go out and buy a matchbox

366
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:46,950
car's

367
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:55,350
car.

368
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:58,240
That's what it takes.

369
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:11,909

[cough]

372
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:23,669
We thought it would be

373
00:25:23,679 --> 00:25:25,679

I think you serve 15 years as

377
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,279
our chief. That's

378
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:42,559
a monumental achievement as well. And

379
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:48,470

We're not going to miss you.

I want to Uh,

410
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,159
» you don't need to hear from me. I

00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:39,520
acknowledge that,

412
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,360
>> right? But, but you've been a part of my

413
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,520
personal life since I was in high

414
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,120
school. We talked about that there a

415
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,080
minute ago. Uh,

416
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:48,320
>> oh,

417
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,600
>> when when you started repping, John

418
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,200
Drake was too back there, just by the

419
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,960
way. So, I'll give him I'll age him a

420
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,240
little bit. But man, listen, you you are

421
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,480
a tremendous person and you have done

422
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,760
more for the community than

423
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,640
the average citizen understands.

424
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,919
You're you are a an extremely long

425
00:30:09,919 --> 00:30:19,520
tenure chief. that is so hard to be and um you have weathered a storm for

426
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:25,600
this community for a number of years and when other communities have

427
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,679
struggled, you know, you you've looked

428
00:30:27,679 --> 00:30:30,000
around and you can see it different

429
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
places, you know, different thing. We

430
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,799
never experienced that here. And the

431
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:38,480
police chief role and your leadership as

432
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,760
chief has a lot to do with that. And

433
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,720
don't don't walk out of here and not

434
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,720
know that that we as your peers,

435
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,039
employees, as peers, we acknowledge

436
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:53,600
that. Okay.

437
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,799
>> I appreciate.

438
00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:57,200
>> Commissioner Codle wanted to make

439
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,070
>> Can I make a just quick?

440
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:07,350
Oh, time to get in.

441
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,919
Chief, um, I've known you a long time

442
00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:12,080
and not many people really know that

443
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,840
when you applied for the job, you

444
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,000
actually had on parachute pants and a

445
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,520
you had a fade, but you had to that's a

446
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,360
little known fact.

447
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,279
But if you I don't know if you look at

448
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:26,240
the crowd that kind of sums you up um

449
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,679
pretty quickly the number of people and

450
00:31:29,679 --> 00:31:32,080
all the the diversity of all the people

451
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,559
that that you have had an influence over

452
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,799
and and treated fairly all these years

453
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:38,960
and you know you got the good, the bad,

454
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,880

455
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,399

enforcement part, the and the public

relations is going to be the thing

459
00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:52,880
that's really hard to replace because

460
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,480
you knew how to walk that fine line,

461
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,120
which is not always easy to do. And and

462
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,200
I appreciate it and the city appreciates

463
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,470

it's all about the village. The village

00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,880
has been good to me.

500
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,080

507
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,840
moment in our history as a fair city.

508
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,600
>> Yes.

509
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,519
Tony, many men want to be remembered for

510
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:36,960
things they accomplished, of which you

511
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,880
have numerous things that we could list

512
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,840
here tonight. But your impact is who you

513
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,799
have impacted here, not what you have

514
00:33:44,799 --> 00:33:46,720
accomplished. And that's evident not

515
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,200
only by this room, but the body of your

516
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,120
work. And I'm so glad that while you're

517
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,960
retiring as chief, you're not retiring

518
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,480
from your impact that you've left in

519
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,960
this community. I know that'll continue.

520
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,440
you, the measure of you as a leader and

521
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,000
a chief uh in this community is your

522
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,760
demeanor and your integrity. Um, which

523
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,480
has been a stabilizing factor for a

524
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,200
long, long time. And we're lucky to have

525
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,520
had your leadership and your impact and

526
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,119
I'm grateful it'll continue because I

527
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:20,629
know it will. Thank you.

528
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:23,760

00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,760
>> We ready to clutch. You had 30 seconds.

553
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,520
>> Well, I was going to say something.

554
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,839
Thank Tony for all the work work he's

555
00:35:39,839 --> 00:35:43,440
done. Congratulate him on his uh

556
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,119
retirement.

557
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:47,200
I worked with him as a volunteer, as you

558
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,200
guys all know, for 16 years. I'm telling

559
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,560
you, he's one of the best police chiefs

560
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,599
in this state, if not one of the best in

561
00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:56,079
the country. So hopefully you'll get one

562
00:35:56,079 --> 00:35:58,560
just as good.

563
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,119
At any rate, uh I'm Jack Hendrickx. Good

564
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:02,720
afternoon, mayor, city commissioners,

565
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:05,680
and others. Uh thank you for inviting me

566
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,800
up and General Hunt, uh here to join you

567
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,760
in honoring one of our local veterans.

568
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,920
I'd also like to thank our city manager,

569
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,800
Earl Coffee, for attending the induction

570
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,119
ceremonies in Lexington for the last two

571
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:21,359
or three years.

572
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:24,560
Earl and this body has always shown deep

573
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,240
dedication to all of our veterans.

574
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,000
And that's pretty obvious with all the

575
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,079
banners up and down Main Street and all

576
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:36,160
the other streets in town. So this body

577
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,160
as well as every other commission that's

578
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,480
set up there for me for the last 25

579
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,200
years has always been there for our

580
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,119
veterans and I've never asked for

581
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,200
anything for the vets that you didn't

582
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,200
agree to. So thank you very much for

583
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,119
that.

584
00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:53,200
For those who may not be familiar with

585
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,920
the Kentucky Veterans Hall of Fame, let

586
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,000
me give you a little info about this

587
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,400
great organization.

588
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,400
Uh the Kentucky Veterans Hall of Fame

589
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,960
was foundation was formed in 2010

590
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,240
by executive director HB Deathridge.

591
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:13,839
He's a Vietnam vet, businessman, and

592
00:37:13,839 --> 00:37:17,920
formed for the p purpose of recognizing

593
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,040
great Kentucky veterans, past, present,

594
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,240
and future, who honorably served in our

595
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,560
uniformed services of the United States

596
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,200
military and who upon returning to

597
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,560
civilian life continue to exemplify the

598
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,839
finest virtues of citizenship by leading

599
00:37:35,839 --> 00:37:38,480
a life of honor, service to our

600
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,320
communities,

601
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,560
and and whose achievements and

602
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,720
accomplishments go above and beyond

603
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:49,119
others in his or her chosen calling.

604
00:37:49,119 --> 00:37:50,960
That's what the Veterans Hall of Fame is

605
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,280
all about. There's some brochures back

606
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,800
at the back if anybody'd like to have

607
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,800
one. Tells you a little bit about it.

608
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,280
The Kentucky Hall of Fame does just that

609
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,760
what our founder

610
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,280
set out to do. Each year, nominees from

611
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,920
across the state are reviewed, and each

612
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,240
year they select a number of worthy

613
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:14,560
veterans to be inducted into this great

614
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,480
organization.

615
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,599
This year, there were 22 chosen. With

616
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:21,599
these new inductees, it will bring the

617
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:26,240
alumni to 317 for state of Kentucky.

618
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:28,240
Now, that's out of the hundreds of

619
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:30,240
thousands of veterans that have served.

620
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:31,839
So

621
00:38:31,839 --> 00:38:34,079
needless to say, it's a great honor for

622
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:36,800
each of the inductees. Damble and B

623
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,760
County has now has three of these

624
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,599
honores.

625
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:43,280
With that, I'll turn it over to General

626
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,119
Hunt who is a member of the board of

627
00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:47,680
directors of the Kentucky Veterans Hall

628
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,119
of Fame and he will introduce this

629
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:53,760
year's inductee from Danville, General

630
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:58,150
Hunt.

631
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,760
» Thank you. Thank you for allowing me

632
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,440
this opportunity to speak briefly. Uh

633
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,599
the Kentucky Veterans Hall of Fame is an

634
00:39:05,599 --> 00:39:08,800
organization that takes the as the

635
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,599
foundation a person's military career

636
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:13,599
where they have served honorably in in

637
00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:16,720
the in the military of the United States

638
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:19,520
and each inductee has done that. But the

639
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,599
difference maker for the Kentucky

640
00:39:21,599 --> 00:39:23,839
Veterans Hall of Fame is that the

641
00:39:23,839 --> 00:39:29,200
inductees have been uh vetted with their

642
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,800
service beyond uniform service. What

643
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,040
they've done to improve the quality of

644
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,920
life in their sphere of influence where

645
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,800
they live across the state. And this

646
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,880
year we inducted 22 new veterans into

647
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,880
the Hall of Fame. One of them being a

648
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,560
100red years old from Richmond and

649
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,640
Madison County.

650
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,000
100 years old. And he is as clear as

651
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,000
clear can be. But in Bole County,

652
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,040
Army Specialist Donnie Canater Jr.

653
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,320
has distinguished himself greatly to

654
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,920
have passed a rigorous vetting of the

655
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,720
qual of the of the performances he has

656
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:16,000
done to make Boil County and Danville a

657
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,720
better place to live through his service

658
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:21,200
and giving back to the community that

659
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,480
has provided so much for him. and he is

660
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,359
uh employed with the uh national I'm

661
00:40:27,359 --> 00:40:28,720
going to say this wrong Mike the

662
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:31,760
National Cemetery Administration

663
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,160
and his supervisor and boss are here

664
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,280
today is here today to show support for

665
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,839
Donnie Caner and I want to thank the

666
00:40:39,839 --> 00:40:42,720
Daml city commission and mayor for this

667
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:46,079
recognition of him it's about specialist

668
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:50,373
army specialist retired Donnie Caner

669
00:40:50,383 --> 00:40:57,270
» [applause]

670
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,440
» They kind of put me on the spot. Melanie

671
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,040
texts me on Friday. He's like, "Hey, can

672
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,240
you be at the commissioner's meeting on

673
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,800
Monday?" Like, "Sure." But then, of

674
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,160
course, Jack says, "Hey, it's for

675
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,640
recognition of your induction." So, I'm

676
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,720
a little underdressed and not speak.

677
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:11,280
>> That's okay.

678
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,839
>> Um, I want to thank the mayor, the

679
00:41:13,839 --> 00:41:17,119
commissioners, city staff. You all are

680
00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:20,079
what made my work possible.

681
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:23,920
The county officials, county employees,

682
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,920
we couldn't do what we do at the VFW. We

683
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:26,960
couldn't do what we do without your

684
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,280
support. And that that makes a world of

685
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,359
difference because all of my efforts

686
00:41:31,359 --> 00:41:33,760
have been through you all. You know, you

687
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,760
all been on our side. You've taken, you

688
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,040
know, you've taken time out of your day

689
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,200
to come support us.

690
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,800
And

691
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,640
it's an honor to be recognized in front

692
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,800
of everybody.

693
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,880
And like I said, I'm sorry. I was not

694
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,280
prepared for this.

695
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,319
>> Um, but about a year ago when Jack first

696
00:41:52,319 --> 00:41:54,240
uh first approached me with the about

697
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:57,440
the nomination, I didn't want to do it

698
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,920
because I didn't think I'd earned a I

699
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,000
hadn't earned it yet. You know, some of

700
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,839
these guys been doing this for 40, 50,

701
00:42:03,839 --> 00:42:07,040
60 years. You know, it's been I've been

702
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,880
active in a community for about 10 to 12

703
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:13,359
years now. and to be held in regard with

704
00:42:13,359 --> 00:42:16,720
those same people means a lot to me.

705
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:19,599
And then uh Melanie or yeah, Melanie

706
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:23,280
said she couldn't make it. So uh I had

707
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,760
talked to her on Friday. I also talked

708
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,680
to Earl. So while I've got the

709
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,119
microphone, I've got something I need to

710
00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:30,640
do on behalf of the BFW. So I'm gonna

711
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:31,920
steal the floor for just a minute. So

712
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:32,960
that's all right, sir.

713
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,000
>> Yes, sir.

714
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,760
>> Um so back in December, we hosted the uh

715
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,640
the city county dinner annually.

716
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,800
One of our awardees was unable to attend

717
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,040
because of an accident on go at the end

718
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,920
of Gogggin Lane and 52. It took up about

719
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,920
half the county staff that day. Um after

720
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,119
that everything kind of got pushed.

721
00:42:55,119 --> 00:42:56,640
Things got lost in the mix. We never

722
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,440
could make schedules mesh up. So I've

723
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,920
got the final awardee for the 2025 26

724
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,160
year for the public servant awards that

725
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,040
the VFW puts out every year. U if I

726
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,079
could have Crystal Blackburn.

727
00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:19,990
I received her write up. [applause]

728
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,880
Her supervisor nominated her and it was

729
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,480
a very impressive write up. I don't

730
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,000
unfortunately I don't have it with me.

731
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,520
It's buried in a stack of emails

732
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,119
somewhere.

733
00:43:29,119 --> 00:43:32,160
But uh she was also the runner up for

734
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,800
the state awardee.

735
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,160
So that came down to about 45

736
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,640
dispatchers across the state and she was

737
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,640
narrowly narrowly beat out on the the

738
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,200
winner of the state award. Crystal, I'm

739
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,880
sorry it's taken almost a year to get

740
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,440
this to you. Um on behalf of the BFW, I

741
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,440
want to say thank you for your service.

742
00:43:54,440 --> 00:44:08,950
[applause]

743
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,790
Yes, sir.

744
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,000
» Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you.

745
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,320
>> Thank you again for your service.

746
00:44:19,330 --> 00:44:20,160
[laughter]

747
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:26,525
>> All right. Thank you, sir.

748
00:44:26,535 --> 00:44:31,750
» [laughter]

749
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:38,315
» Everybody

750
00:44:38,325 --> 00:44:52,070
[laughter]

751
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,839
» [laughter]

752
00:44:53,839 --> 00:45:07,670
>> That's for sure.

753
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,109
two

754
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:16,961
perfect

755
00:45:16,971 --> 00:45:38,950
[applause]

756
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:52,870
I don't want to break a camera.

757
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,800
» Commissioner Peak just reminded me. I

758
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,680
didn't say, but there's three inductees

759
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,760
now. Donnie makes the third in Ball

760
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,400
County. For a county our size, there's

761
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,599
not very many that's got three inductees

762
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:07,280
into the Veterans Hall of Fame. And

763
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,280
that's Howard, myself, and Donnie. So,

764
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:20,150
>> thank you, Donna.

765
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,359
» Thank you, everybody.

766
00:46:21,359 --> 00:46:31,430
>> Thank you. Appreciate you.

767
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,119
Okay, we got a lot of items left on our

768
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:34,720
agenda and we only have 20 minutes of

769
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:36,960
time left. So, I guess we had to really

770
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,560
roll her, right? Okay. Um, that was good

771
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:41,359
though.

772
00:46:41,359 --> 00:46:42,960
>> Got two more items and we'll have it

773
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,680
clean down.

774
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,640
>> Next on our agenda is to hear from

775
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,599

new president, Grayson Evans. Welcome,

777
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,560
Grayson.

778
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:57,839
Thank you, mayor, members of the

779
00:46:57,839 --> 00:46:59,680
commission. A couple of very difficult

780
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,520
acts to follow tonight, but we certainly

781
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,480
have a lot to be thankful for here. Um,

782
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,640
I won't give a spoiler or anything like

783
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,880
that, but you do have an agenda item on

784
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,560
your agendas for later in your meeting

785
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,119
this evening and wanted to come and just

786
00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:14,880
thank you all in advance for your

787
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,839
consideration and also um just give you

788
00:47:17,839 --> 00:47:19,680
a quick update on some of the things

789
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,520
that we're doing around here as your

790
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,560
economic development organization. Um,

791
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,000
so whenever our entity, the the

792
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,760
development corporation passed a fiscal

793
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,880
year 26 budget, it was at a time when my

794
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,280
position was vacant and the board had

795
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,520
communicated with key officials, as I

796
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,280
understand it here at the city about the

797
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,440
possibility of a budget amendment being

798
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,400
needed. Um, at our September 16th

799
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:45,839
meeting, uh, the development court

800
00:47:45,839 --> 00:47:48,640
passed a budget amendment. Um but wanted

801
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,400
to let you know that fiscal stewardship

802
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,640
is is obviously at the forefront of my

803
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,839
mind as I move into this role. Um we

804
00:47:55,839 --> 00:47:59,280
have started working on um garnering

805
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,440
support for additional members for our

806
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,520
chairman circle and leveraging private

807
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,839
partners in the community and trying to

808
00:48:05,839 --> 00:48:07,599
find other groups to come alongside you

809
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:09,599
all the county and other important

810
00:48:09,599 --> 00:48:11,200
partners to invest in what we're trying

811
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,880
to do to bring more jobs to the

812
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,800
community and more growth to Danville.

813
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,240
Um, so just wanted to wanted to make

814
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:19,920
that disclaimer here in front of you all

815
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,839
this evening and then um give you a

816
00:48:21,839 --> 00:48:23,119
quick update on just a few of the things

817
00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:25,920
we've done in the last month or so. Um,

818
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,680
we're working pretty aggressively to

819
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,760
advance the development of all three

820
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,240
distinct properties owned by the EDA and

821
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:34,720
the industrial foundation. Uh, if you

822
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:36,480
drive around town, you'll see a couple

823
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,880
of different road projects taking shape.

824
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,520
one in our existing industrial park,

825
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,920
another off of Steuart's Lane on the

826
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,400
EDA's Norfolk Southern property, and

827
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,240
we'll certainly be moving forward with

828
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:50,559
the help of city engineer and manager

829
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:54,000
and other staff members on access to the

830
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,200
reading site for a couple of the

831
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,720
commercial businesses who will be making

832
00:48:56,720 --> 00:48:59,599
it their new home here soon. Um, we're

833
00:48:59,599 --> 00:49:01,440
engaged with multiple prospects who've

834
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,359
expressed an interest in the vacant RR

835
00:49:03,359 --> 00:49:05,359
Donnelly building and we've established

836
00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:06,880
a new marketing committee and have

837
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,640
created a new content plan for our

838
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,440
website, publications, and social media.

839
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,839
Um, last week facilitated the regional

840
00:49:13,839 --> 00:49:16,160
job fair for the community and the other

841
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,240
cities and counties that surround. We

842
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:19,760
don't have a hard and fast count yet,

843
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,760
but estimate that we had about 500 job

844
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,920
seekers attend the event and have heard

845
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,160
from several of our employers that they

846
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,640
have made hires already. and we're

847
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,240
already almost full again with

848
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:32,160
pre-registrations for the spring should

849
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:33,680

850
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,400
again. Um we have a small business and

851
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,160

854
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:44,880

858
00:49:54,319 --> 00:49:56,960
kind of a diverse and broad, uh, kind of

859
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:58,400
series of different business interests,

860
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,599

00:51:47,839 --> 00:51:49,599
>> Sorry, I was not prepared to read that.

915
00:51:49,599 --> 00:51:51,920
I will do it though. Just give me

916
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:52,319
>> Cool.

917
00:51:52,319 --> 00:51:53,599
>> Just give me a second.

918
00:51:53,599 --> 00:51:54,880
>> Well, I can read. Want me to read it?

919
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:55,680
>> I can get it.

920
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:56,319
>> You sure?

921
00:51:56,319 --> 00:51:56,720
>> Yeah.

922
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:58,960
>> I was going to charge.

923
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,599
>> Fire prevention week 2026. Whereas the

924
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:03,359
city of Danville, Kentucky is committed

925
00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:05,280
to ensuring the safety and security of

926
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,040
all those living in and visiting

927
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,520
Danville. And whereas fire is a serious

928
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,680
public safety concern both locally and

929
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,760
nationally and homes are the location

930
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:18,880
where people are at greatest risk from fire. And whereas the

931
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,119
majority of US fire deaths, four out of

932
00:52:21,119 --> 00:52:23,440
five occur at home each year, Danville

933
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,520
citizens should identify places in their

934
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,440
home where fires can start and eliminate

935
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,400
those hazards. And whereas lithium ion

936
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,240
batteries are increasingly found in

937
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:35,040
devices and systems that are used daily.

938
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,880
And whereas these batteries can overheat

939
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,280
and catch fire if not used, charged, or

940
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,400
stored properly. And whereas the 2026

941
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,559
fire prevention week theme is charging

942
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:46,880
to fire safety, safe charging is a

943
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,200
superpower. And whereas this year's

944
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,200
theme focuses on educating everyone

945
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:52,800
about the importance of buying,

946
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,359
charging, and recycling lithium ion

947
00:52:55,359 --> 00:52:58,160
batteries safely. And whereas Danville's

948
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,839
citizens are responsive to public

949
00:52:59,839 --> 00:53:01,760
education measures and are able to take

950
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,680
action to increase their safety from

951
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,079
fire, especially in their homes. Now

952
00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:07,839
therefore, be it resolved that Mayor

953
00:53:07,839 --> 00:53:09,839
James JH Atkins and the city

954
00:53:09,839 --> 00:53:11,599

959
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,760
Damble to educate everyone on the

960
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,359
importance of having working smoke

961
00:53:25,359 --> 00:53:27,920
alarms in their home and to support the

962
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,920
many public safety activities and

963
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,520

968
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,240

City County joint planning and zoning

1045

Mr. Coffee.

1047
00:57:14,799 --> 00:57:17,839
>> Thank you, mayor, commissioners. Um,

1048
00:57:17,839 --> 00:57:19,440
through

1049
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,400
several discussions the with with the

1050
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,240
county judge and the mayor, we um

1051
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,960
arrived at the the the

1052
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,319
uh point where we felt like the

1053
00:57:30,319 --> 00:57:32,319
resolution should be recommended to the

1054
00:57:32,319 --> 00:57:34,319
full commission and and considered. the

1055
00:57:34,319 --> 00:57:37,040
fiscal court picked it up and and have

1056
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,839
already done done that consideration and

1057
00:57:39,839 --> 00:57:44,799
actually approved it as you can see in the uh with a signature on the

1058
00:57:44,799 --> 00:57:46,720
document. The Bull County uh court

1059
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,119
resolution 260922 and the city of

1060
00:57:49,119 --> 00:57:53,119
Damville resolution 20260 2802 joint

1061
00:57:53,119 --> 00:57:55,200
resolution of the city of Danville and

1062
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,040
the Bull County fiscal court

1063
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,520
establishing an ad hoc committee to

1064
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,520
evaluate planning and zoning and make

1065
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,319
recommendations for improvement. Um it

1066
00:58:04,319 --> 00:58:06,720
establishes uh just in the same way

1067
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,359
we've done with other joint jointly

1068
00:58:09,359 --> 00:58:11,760
created operations of the the two

1069
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,720
governments. Uh recently we can think of

1070
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,760
not from 911 to parks and wreck to the

1071
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:22,240
even our our EDA process with the EDC

1072
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,119
a jointly uh created uh committee of

1073
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:29,839
sorts is is uh the best way to to have

1074
00:58:29,839 --> 00:58:31,599
that dialogue and then come back with

1075
00:58:31,599 --> 00:58:34,079
the recommendations. And so what the the

1076
00:58:34,079 --> 00:58:38,240
purpose is not necessarily to we we just

1077
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:39,680
want to acknowledge I guess not

1078
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,000
necessarily to to say there's something

1079
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,520
ne to to recreate but what we'd like to

1080
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,359
do is figure out u the the operations

1081
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:53,280
and reaffirm that we're doing uh a good

1082
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,640
job reaffirm our our I guess our

1083
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,359
protocols and and our understandings of

1084
00:58:59,359 --> 00:59:01,599
all the things that are related to the

1085
00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:04,079
operation of planning and zoning which

1086
00:59:04,079 --> 00:59:08,240
is u not necessarily a Danville only

1087
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,240
problem or a bull county only problem.

1088
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,880
It it is a consistent divergent over

1089
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,040
time where you have a board and you have

1090
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,960
the law and and then you have u various

1091
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,400
decisions. You have turnover on the

1092
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,160
board over a period of time. So it

1093
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,000
really what we want to do is recenter

1094
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,200
our effort and to make sure uh we're

1095
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:28,880
doing a good job and serving the

1096
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,520
community with the expectation that that

1097
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,480
was originally created when KRS 100 was

1098
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,520
passed. Um other communities across the

1099
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,760
state are having similar issues. The

1100
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,400
reason the which is really shown with

1101
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,319
the legislature uh taking so much u if

1102
00:59:46,319 --> 00:59:48,319
you look at the bills being produced at

1103
00:59:48,319 --> 00:59:50,799
the legislature you see so many of them

1104
00:59:50,799 --> 00:59:53,280
in reaction in response to local

1105
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:54,880
planning and zoning decisions which

1106
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,200
isn't necessarily a healthy thing. And

1107
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:58,960
so what we've got to do is try to figure

1108
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,799
out to make sure we're compliant, make

1109
01:00:00,799 --> 01:00:04,400
sure we're doing a good job. And and uh

1110
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,960
um we don't know where that goes

1111
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,760
honestly. We we just we know that that

1112
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,359
planning zoning is creation of the city

1113
01:00:11,359 --> 01:00:14,319
and the county. And so through through

1114
01:00:14,319 --> 01:00:15,839
as I said through discussions with the

1115
01:00:15,839 --> 01:00:18,480
county judge and and the mayor, it seems

1116
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,960
like a good time to do that. U the the

1117
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:22,960
indicators are that we've had three

1118
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,119
turnovers of the positions in recent

1119
01:00:25,119 --> 01:00:26,799
years and among all the other

1120
01:00:26,799 --> 01:00:29,200
trepidation and discussions that we've

1121
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,480
had u of late especially couple times.

1122
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,079
And so it just seems like the right

1123
01:00:34,079 --> 01:00:35,920
thing to do and and to get everybody

1124
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,559
back centered on the same page. And uh

1125
01:00:38,559 --> 01:00:40,960
so that's what we are providing you with

1126
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,720
the opportunity and the recommendation

1127
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,040
that you proceed with the the ad hoc

1128
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,640
committee evaluation. It does not

1129
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,680
include uh uh me for example. It

1130
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:55,920
includes the judge, a magistrate, the mayor, a commissioner. Then it

1131
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:57,839
includes the city attorney, the county

1132
01:00:57,839 --> 01:01:00,319
attorney, the city engineer, and the

1133
01:01:00,319 --> 01:01:06,230
county elected surveyor.

1134
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,960
» Thank you, sir.

1135
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,640
>> Any comments from the commission?

1136
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:13,040
>> Go ahead.

1137
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:22,150
>> We'll make the motion first.

1138
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,480
» Where' it go?

1139
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:32,630
Sorry.

1140
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,920
» Yes. I move for approval of resolution

1141
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:41,990
20269282.

1142
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:47,750
» Second

1143
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,839
questions or comments?

1144
01:01:49,839 --> 01:01:50,480
>> Go ahead, Don.

1145
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,559
>> Yeah, you go ahead first. Everybody

1146
01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:54,000
wants to go. Okay. I'm just going to say

1147
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,520
for me I just like if you would for the

1148
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,240
community I mean I think overall what

1149
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,640
the we have a P&Z director that's

1150
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:06,000
leaving and I think as custom in a lot

1151
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,079
of jobs in the city when things change

1152
01:02:10,079 --> 01:02:12,400
drastically or the same thing happens

1153
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,799
over and over the city and the county I

1154
01:02:14,799 --> 01:02:17,520
look at things as a whole to see what

1155
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,400
works if it's fine it may be perfectly

1156
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,119
fine as it is but you need to just

1157
01:02:23,119 --> 01:02:25,520
review it. I think for the best of the

1158
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,000
community that's I I just want to get

1159
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,200
that out there because that's sort of in

1160
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,520
your summary here. I think that's

1161
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,599
important for people to know that P&Z

1162
01:02:33,599 --> 01:02:36,160
isn't stopping that she's leaving and

1163
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,640
that things will go on as

1164
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:39,520
>> correct.

1165
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,040
>> Right. As like

1166
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,119
>> Yeah. So the resolution only asks for a

1167
01:02:43,119 --> 01:02:46,240
pause in the hiring until an evaluation

1168
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,720
pause of six months I believe

1169
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,520
>> from the date of execution. It's and it

1170
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,240
really it gives an opportunity. So So

1171
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,559
expand on that. Not just the PNZ

1172
01:02:56,559 --> 01:02:59,359
director position is is being replaced.

1173
01:02:59,359 --> 01:03:01,599
You have uh the county building

1174
01:03:01,599 --> 01:03:03,680
inspector is going to indicated a

1175
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,000
retirement this year possibly. You're

1176
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,040
you've we have Sergeant Rainwater and

1177
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,680
our code enforcement that's retiring. So

1178
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,520
there's a lot of vacancies in the space

1179
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,680
of application of the zoning ordinance,

1180
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:20,480
the subregs, the the uh compliance of

1181
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,640
all of our building building codes,

1182
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:29,200
right? Uh so it the time is correct to do that evaluation now spec es

1183
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:30,559
especially now that you have the

1184
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:33,039
director position turned over. So it

1185
01:03:33,039 --> 01:03:35,440
just makes sense in the same way we had

1186
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,000
other events historically that that

1187
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,160
required such as changes in state law or

1188
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,480
something that required 911 to be

1189
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,799
revisited with a funding application. if

1190
01:03:44,799 --> 01:03:47,280
you'll remember the driver of that the

1191
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,599
EDC the turnover in the director

1192
01:03:49,599 --> 01:03:52,160
position meant a lot when when we did

1193
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,359
the um visits to other agencies and it

1194
01:03:55,359 --> 01:03:57,359
brought that back to okay what do we do

1195
01:03:57,359 --> 01:03:59,039
with the board now that we're creating

1196
01:03:59,039 --> 01:04:01,839
an EDA so that the structure then was

1197
01:04:01,839 --> 01:04:04,720
properly evaluated by

1198
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,559
and and it was healthy I mean at the end

1199
01:04:06,559 --> 01:04:10,079
of the day um the city and county had

1200
01:04:10,079 --> 01:04:12,480
these are create creations of the the

1201
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,039
local governments and And so having

1202
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:18,079
those local governments re reweigh and

1203
01:04:18,079 --> 01:04:20,799
revisit those foundations makes a lot of

1204
01:04:20,799 --> 01:04:22,240
sense and provides some of the

1205
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,720
leadership that you're quite frankly

1206
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,520
elected to provide. And so this is the

1207
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,359
methodology through which your elected

1208
01:04:29,359 --> 01:04:32,640
voices can jointly be uh considered

1209
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:37,430
towards an idea.

1210
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,079
Yeah, I was going to touch on, you know,

1211
01:04:40,079 --> 01:04:43,039
you mentioned we had three directors in

1212
01:04:43,039 --> 01:04:45,119
the past however many years.

1213
01:04:45,119 --> 01:04:46,720
>> Yeah, six years, five years.

1214
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,079
>> And two of them, the last two we've had

1215
01:04:48,079 --> 01:04:49,760
have been young people that would have

1216
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:54,240
been great to keep on long term. And um

1217
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:57,359
so it occurs to me we may be the problem

1218
01:04:57,359 --> 01:04:59,680
and if we are we need to address that.

1219
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:04,960
it could be a a board issue. And so I,

1220
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,359
you know, I think it's like you say,

1221
01:05:07,359 --> 01:05:10,960
it's a good good time to re-evaluate and

1222
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,520
uh fix what needs fixing if anything

1223
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:14,960
does.

1224
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,799
>> Yeah.

1225
01:05:16,799 --> 01:05:18,640
So there's not there's there's not

1226
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,880
one single way to administer planning

1227
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,119
and zoning. So, if you go across the

1228
01:05:23,119 --> 01:05:24,960
state, depending on the population of

1229
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,640
your community, you could have

1230
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,119
everything from joint boards, you could

1231
01:05:29,119 --> 01:05:30,799
have the city of Danville could have its

1232
01:05:30,799 --> 01:05:32,480
own planning and zoning board.

1233
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,079
>> Now, that's that's not something that

1234
01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:36,240
you've ever talked about and I'm not

1235
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,640
advocating for anything. I'm saying too,

1236
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,200
you can have so some of the discussion

1237
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:42,960
historically happened in here where we

1238
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,119
had we had uh Mr. Hunter was from

1239
01:05:45,119 --> 01:05:47,119
Bowling Green. Well, his employment at

1240
01:05:47,119 --> 01:05:48,480
Bowling Green was different than our

1241
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,880
employment structure here. So some of

1242
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:55,039
the resources he he had at accessible at

1243
01:05:55,039 --> 01:05:59,039
that previous position, he qu I don't

1244
01:05:59,039 --> 01:06:00,400
have access to those here. Well, it's

1245
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,240
because you're not structured inside of

1246
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,400
the the system in the same way as you

1247
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:09,440
were there. It's it's a different So you have the flexibility to really

1248
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,200
change how you're structured. I'm not

1249
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,720
advocating that you do that,

1250
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,880
>> right? But but it's a proof check to

1251
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:16,799
make sure that the existing structure is

1252
01:06:16,799 --> 01:06:18,960
correct and serving the community with

1253
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,720
the existing load that we have on it,

1254
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,880
the existing demand for services that we

1255
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,760
have on on the system. It's everything

1256
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,000
that we do for economic vitality. When

1257
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,280
we have any any enterprise coming into

1258
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,799
the community is dealing with your

1259
01:06:32,799 --> 01:06:34,880
building inspector, planning and zoning

1260
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,720
for zoning compliance, your code

1261
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,039
enforcement folks, you want that to

1262
01:06:39,039 --> 01:06:42,160
operate as efficiently as possible.

1263
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,319
And so it's not being efficient whenever

1264
01:06:44,319 --> 01:06:46,640
we debate

1265
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:51,039
how you apply clear text that is in the

1266
01:06:51,039 --> 01:06:55,280
zoning uh subdivision rags when because

1267
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:56,720
you've just simply had a different

1268
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,119
director that that isn't experienced

1269
01:06:59,119 --> 01:07:01,520
with that application yet. Right? So you

1270
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,520
don't want to you want to create a

1271
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:08,640
simple efficient system. And I know I'm getting deep in the weeds in ways

1272
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,119
but I apologize for that. But at the end

1273
01:07:11,119 --> 01:07:12,880
of the day, that's that's the debate you

1274
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,520
want to have. And and truthfully, it

1275
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,839
doesn't start at with planning and

1276
01:07:17,839 --> 01:07:20,960
zoning commission on its on at that

1277
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:22,400
level. It starts with the elected

1278
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,480
bodies. It starts with the county judge

1279
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,280
and the mayor and the ad hoc committee

1280
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,520
guiding what their expectations are and

1281
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:36,710
then delivering that as a product.

1282
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:38,160
Looking at the framework of the

1283
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,720
committee, um there's really no one on

1284
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,319
the committee right now that's currently

1285
01:07:42,319 --> 01:07:44,400
serving on the the planning and zoning

1286
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,920
board. Um so would it be uh my privilege

1287
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,559
to suggest that we consider the planning

1288
01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:53,839
and zoning attorney as a ninth member of

1289
01:07:53,839 --> 01:07:57,200
this uh ad hoc committee? So I can

1290
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,440
>> mayor we made a full conscious kind of

1291
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,119
effort in our review of that matter to

1292
01:08:01,119 --> 01:08:03,280
not include anyone that is currently on

1293
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,839
the planning commission or its council

1294
01:08:05,839 --> 01:08:08,319
for the matter of fact that the planning

1295
01:08:08,319 --> 01:08:10,960
zoning board itself is vested with

1296
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:12,799
authority that is given by the city and

1297
01:08:12,799 --> 01:08:16,159
the county and that it's critical um in

1298
01:08:16,159 --> 01:08:18,239
our estimation that that determination

1299
01:08:18,239 --> 01:08:21,440
be made by the parent organizations of

1300
01:08:21,440 --> 01:08:23,520
the planning commission which are the

1301
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,920
city and the county. And we've done this

1302
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:30,159
in in previous aspects as well um when

1303
01:08:30,159 --> 01:08:32,080
we've reviewed city county joint

1304
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,440
operations to not include members of the

1305
01:08:35,440 --> 01:08:39,199
created entity that serve at the the

1306
01:08:39,199 --> 01:08:42,080
pleasure of the forming entities. So

1307
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,159
from an efficiency standpoint the

1308
01:08:44,159 --> 01:08:46,319
commission itself needs to operate as

1309
01:08:46,319 --> 01:08:49,120
directed by the city and county and not

1310
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,239
be part of the direction itself. So that

1311
01:08:52,239 --> 01:08:55,759
was the philosophical um manner for

1312
01:08:55,759 --> 01:08:58,400
which the the uh ad hoc committee was

1313
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:00,319
devised.

1314
01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:01,279
>> That's interesting.

1315
01:09:01,279 --> 01:09:04,560
>> And furthermore, what we look at at um

1316
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,239
in these situations like Commissioner

1317
01:09:06,239 --> 01:09:07,920
Codle said about kind of the the

1318
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:09,759
turnover that's transpired and some of

1319
01:09:09,759 --> 01:09:12,640
the other um I I'll say elements of

1320
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,759
friction um that have been present um by

1321
01:09:15,759 --> 01:09:17,520
virtue of just kind of common

1322
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:18,960
circumstances through the planning

1323
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:23,040
commission. It's akin to like having the check engine light on your car come

1324
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,920
on. It it needs it it means that it

1325
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,319
needs to be evaluated for service. It

1326
01:09:28,319 --> 01:09:31,279
could just be um a simple fuse that

1327
01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:34,640
needs replaced, but it could also show

1328
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,799
some mechanical issues that need to be

1329
01:09:36,799 --> 01:09:40,080
addressed further. It would be unwise to

1330
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,480
merely continue to drive the vehicle

1331
01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:45,279
knowing that the check engine lights on

1332
01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:47,520
without making proper evaluation. What

1333
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,679
this is is merely a pause.

1334
01:09:49,679 --> 01:09:52,560
an evaluation and a confirmation of the

1335
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,719
systems that we have in place are

1336
01:09:54,719 --> 01:09:58,000
appropriate, well functioning and

1337
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,080
welloiled.

1338
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,400
And then those recommendations will be

1339
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,239
brought back respectively to the city

1340
01:10:04,239 --> 01:10:07,600
and county for further um action. And

1341
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,840
then the planning commission will then

1342
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:13,679
be directed at the um behest of the city

1343
01:10:13,679 --> 01:10:16,880
and county jointly for its mission going

1344
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:18,640
forward.

1345
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,960
So the same response would be to my next

1346
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,920
thought and that was to suggest uh one

1347
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,080
of the planning and zoning board

1348
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:27,600
planning and zoning commission members

1349
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,760
be appointed to this ad hoc committee.

1350
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,120
We we do not feel that would be

1351
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,080
appropriate or an efficiency of of

1352
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:35,840
process that would be necessary at this

1353
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:36,719
point in time.

1354
01:10:36,719 --> 01:10:40,320
>> And from this proclamation, the county

1355
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,159
should probably ask well the county sort

1356
01:10:42,159 --> 01:10:44,800
of adheres to that philosophy as well

1357
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,159
since they've approved the

1358
01:10:46,159 --> 01:10:47,920
>> that that's correct. That that had been

1359
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,080
fully discussed um in previous

1360
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:54,239
encounters with the judge executive.

1361
01:10:54,239 --> 01:10:56,400
If PNZ isn't included, have they been

1362
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,520
communicated with thoroughly

1363
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,920
since I I never knew anything about this

1364
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,239
till I read it Sunday,

1365
01:11:04,239 --> 01:11:07,360
>> but um was staff communicated with with

1366
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:10,560
the county at least by the 22nd or

1367
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:11,840
earlier?

1368
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:13,520
>> Well,

1369
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,199
staff

1370
01:11:15,199 --> 01:11:16,960
there's only one subordinate staff

1371
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,840
person. The director position is vacant.

1372
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,560
the planning zoning commission. We we

1373
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,480
intentionally had a conversation with

1374
01:11:24,480 --> 01:11:27,360
the county judge and the mayor uh as a

1375
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,560
group first because the the planning

1376
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,159
zoning commission follows their

1377
01:11:32,159 --> 01:11:33,600
direction. So I don't want to

1378
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,800
artificially create a situation where a

1379
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,080
volunteer appointed board member assumes

1380
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:44,800
the elected

1381
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:49,040
people's um peer responsibility. I'm

1382
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:50,159
trying to think of a way to say that

1383
01:11:50,159 --> 01:11:51,520
correctly. I just wanted to make sure

1384
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,120
it's not

1385
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,040
>> well and and so the communication what

1386
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,520
we would do is take the time to speak

1387
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,360
after you all consider the resolution.

1388
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:01,760
We'll communicate that effectively to

1389
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,120
>> to them.

1390
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,960
>> Um more specifically, the uh deputy

1391
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,920
judge executive did reach out to staff

1392
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:12,320
>> and we did communicate to staff and I

1393
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,719
know the mayor did uh comment to the

1394
01:12:14,719 --> 01:12:17,360
chairman. I know the county uh folks

1395
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:21,600
have emailed. I know that happened um

1396
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:25,840
different times both before last Tuesday

1397
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,800
um last Tuesday and since last Tuesday,

1398
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,440
but but we haven't been overt in in

1399
01:12:31,440 --> 01:12:33,520
having a like a formal meeting. I know

1400
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,679
that we've had indep independent

1401
01:12:35,679 --> 01:12:37,440
communication with different folks along

1402
01:12:37,440 --> 01:12:40,480
the way. Um, but like I said, I I think

1403
01:12:40,480 --> 01:12:43,520
it's it's important

1404
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,800
that the the planning and zoning is not

1405
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,440
the elected body for the community. And

1406
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:51,920
I think I think for me part of the

1407
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,520
confusion and and I think that's

1408
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:55,679
demonstrated throughout Kentucky over

1409
01:12:55,679 --> 01:12:58,960
time as as the legislature is continuing

1410
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:03,440
to necessarily weigh in on local issues

1411
01:13:03,440 --> 01:13:06,320
through through in response to planning

1412
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,080
and zoning decisions that's being passed

1413
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,159
up to them. You can see it in the House

1414
01:13:10,159 --> 01:13:12,640
bills being presented. And so I think

1415
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:15,280
it's an when when you have a something

1416
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,360
so significant as your application of

1417
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,199
your zoning ordinance, I think the

1418
01:13:19,199 --> 01:13:20,800
elected officials have to take the

1419
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,199
leadership role that they're responsible

1420
01:13:23,199 --> 01:13:25,120
uh or that you've been elected to. And

1421
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,120
so what I'm trying to do through this

1422
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:28,640
resolution and through this

1423
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,159
recommendation

1424
01:13:30,159 --> 01:13:32,000
um is to make sure you all have the

1425
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,800
proper floor to exercise your elected uh

1426
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,880
authorities. I mean, I think it's good

1427
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,679
to evaluate because Danville has changed

1428
01:13:39,679 --> 01:13:41,840
and sometimes structures need to change.

1429
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,640
>> Well, and we planning zoning still has

1430
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,880
in in essence the same foundation it's

1431
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,280
had since we've create since it was

1432
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:52,400
created in this community, right? Um I I

1433
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:56,880
don't know um if that that may be fine,

1434
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,360
you know, I I I don't know. I think it's

1435
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:04,159
but I I do think it's important that like I said the jointly elected

1436
01:14:04,159 --> 01:14:05,840
officials need to make that that

1437
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:07,760
recommendation to the city commission

1438
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,960
and to the fiscal court. Um

1439
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,480
and not necessarily me or or you know I

1440
01:14:14,480 --> 01:14:17,199
think I think this process enables the

1441
01:14:17,199 --> 01:14:20,159
elected officials to lead.

1442
01:14:20,159 --> 01:14:22,320
>> That sounds good. I I think six months

1443
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:24,960
is a lot. Um,

1444
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,360
planning and zoning, as you know, had

1445
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,320
three positions, a director, an

1446
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,800
administrative assistant, and a code

1447
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:33,840
enforcement.

1448
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:34,880
>> Mhm.

1449
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:36,560
>> Full-time.

1450
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:41,679
>> And now there's one person. Um,

1451
01:14:41,679 --> 01:14:44,000
so six months would be a lot.

1452
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,159
>> Yeah. I think for one person to not have

1453
01:14:46,159 --> 01:14:50,320
a breakdown and for the citizens,

1454
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:54,159
you know, uh to be worked with and was

1455
01:14:54,159 --> 01:14:56,719
it right to lose that code code

1456
01:14:56,719 --> 01:14:59,840
enforcement officer position? I don't

1457
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,719
know. That was a position that checked

1458
01:15:02,719 --> 01:15:05,600
if everything was right afterwards.

1459
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:07,920
whether it's signage,

1460
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:09,920
whether it's

1461
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,040
uh landscaping,

1462
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:16,080
you you need to check things and not

1463
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,560
trust that it happens.

1464
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,840
>> Um and then with Rusty retiring, um

1465
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:23,600
please don't take six months.

1466
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,760
>> And commissioner to address I think the temperature of the county judge and

1467
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,440
I don't think she would mind saying was

1468
01:15:29,440 --> 01:15:31,120
there's no expectation that it would

1469
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,120
last that long. The the hope is that it

1470
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:34,719
would be

1471
01:15:34,719 --> 01:15:38,239
>> it would be a swift eval comprehensive

1472
01:15:38,239 --> 01:15:40,719
process that begins immediately after

1473
01:15:40,719 --> 01:15:42,480
the passage of this resolution.

1474
01:15:42,480 --> 01:15:42,880
>> That's good.

1475
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,120
>> And then conclusions are reached uh

1476
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:48,080
promptly for implementation

1477
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:49,440
uh swiftly

1478
01:15:49,440 --> 01:15:51,360
>> that can be done before Christmas. I

1479
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:52,800
mean meeting weekly.

1480
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:54,880
>> There there is certainly a desire of the

1481
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:57,440
parties to accomplish that task quickly.

1482
01:15:57,440 --> 01:15:59,600
And I I just want to also just for the

1483
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,800
notation of of the public record that

1484
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:04,800
there's an expectation that's reiterated

1485
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,360
in the joint resolution saying that all

1486
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,560
administrative services shall continue

1487
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,040
and that there's nothing prohibiting the

1488
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:14,640
planning commission from appointing an

1489
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,280
interim director and and we would

1490
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,719
encourage them publicly to do so um

1491
01:16:20,719 --> 01:16:23,440
swiftly so that they can continue to

1492
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:26,400
operate as nor enable them citizens to

1493
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,400
receive the services that are expected

1494
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,040
to be received. This is a pause on the

1495
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,400
permanent hire of a full-time director

1496
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,719
so that these further evaluations can be

1497
01:16:36,719 --> 01:16:38,800
met. You can never change structure post

1498
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,600
hire. It's most efficient to look at

1499
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,640
structural u mechanisms prehire so then

1500
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,480
the right person is hired with a right

1501
01:16:46,480 --> 01:16:48,640
understanding of what they the structure

1502
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,840
they're being employed by is.

1503
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:53,199
>> Oh, I think it's a great thing to look

1504
01:16:53,199 --> 01:16:55,280
at. So, it's it's a good time. Thank you

1505
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:59,280
for uh it not being six months.

1506
01:16:59,280 --> 01:16:59,600
>> So

1507
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,000
>> he couldn't guarantee that. But okay. Uh

1508
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:03,280
any other comments?

1509
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:04,880
>> This is just a comment. This is out

1510
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,040
there. Have Have the city and county

1511
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,440
ever been pleased with planning and

1512
01:17:09,440 --> 01:17:10,800
zoning?

1513
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:12,320
>> Yeah. When I sued about

1514
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:17,520
>> So So I I would absolutely say yes. Um

1515
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,000
it had it was it functioned at a very

1516
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,719
high level until we started having just

1517
01:17:22,719 --> 01:17:23,440
the

1518
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:26,239
>> the turnover when when the the historic

1519
01:17:26,239 --> 01:17:27,920
director that had been here a long time

1520
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,320
retired. I don't think we we h I think

1521
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,400
we had some turnover on the board itself

1522
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:33,920
at the time. I think we had some

1523
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:37,360
resignations of long-erving folks and I

1524
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,840
just don't think that the board itself

1525
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,400
really has found its footing again. And

1526
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,960
I I think so you you had a planning

1527
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,199
design. We first of all the the city

1528
01:17:47,199 --> 01:17:49,520
engineers back there and he can talk but

1529
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:54,400
um we we we valued the the inspection

1530
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,400
that came from zoning compliance is

1531
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:57,360
critical

1532
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,000
>> but the city didn't necessarily endorse

1533
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,800
that that decision that was made by

1534
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,120
planning and zoning as a body. So

1535
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,280
planning and zoning made the decision to

1536
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,520
remove the code enforcement and to

1537
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:11,360
consolidate the enforcement and

1538
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,040
observation of their zoning into the

1539
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,920
director position. We didn't support

1540
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,239
that and we we went on the record with

1541
01:18:18,239 --> 01:18:19,760
not supporting that. We don't support

1542
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,960
that now. The the average complaint we

1543
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,120
get. So that's part of the recent

1544
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,080
confusion. We've had uh structures built

1545
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,880
on property lines that were not movable.

1546
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,840
Um, we we've had things that are just

1547
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:37,280
issues that doesn't involve that that

1548
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,679
are purely administration and and

1549
01:18:39,679 --> 01:18:42,320
application of of the documents that

1550
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:43,920
planning and zoning is responsible for

1551
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:48,480
enforcing. So, it's not necessarily um

1552
01:18:48,480 --> 01:18:51,199
slander at any one individual. It's it

1553
01:18:51,199 --> 01:18:53,360
truly is is an education, it's a

1554
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,520
training, it's a reiteration. It's all

1555
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:57,760
the aspects of administering a body like

1556
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,080
that. But the most important thing is is

1557
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,800
that the the elected officials

1558
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,920
um establish the level of service that

1559
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,159
it wants or the level of service that it

1560
01:19:08,159 --> 01:19:10,800
needs because plan zoning is the arm of

1561
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,400
the city and county as it relates to

1562
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:13,120
development,

1563
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:14,960
>> right? And then we'll get together and

1564
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,600
know that we want to, you know, pay for

1565
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,880
good services. So that's that's good.

1566
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:22,800
Okay.

1567
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,840
>> Other comments?

1568
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,080
Call for the question.

1569
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:33,280
All those in favor of resolution 2026

1570
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,440
0928

1571
01:19:35,440 --> 01:19:38,320
02 say I.

1572
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:39,280
>> I.

1573
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,800
>> Those opposed. Motion carries.

1574
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,760
>> Okay. Next on our agenda,

1575
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:51,189
the city manager report.

1576
01:19:51,199 --> 01:19:53,679
» Thank you, mayor, commissioners. Um,

1577
01:19:53,679 --> 01:19:56,719
we'll go over some quick dates. The fall

1578
01:19:56,719 --> 01:19:58,560
break for the schools are October 5th

1579
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,679
through the 9th. We would like to just

1580
01:20:01,679 --> 01:20:04,320
make everybody aware that uh people will

1581
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:07,040
be all over town. Usually kids are out.

1582
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,600
Um October 12th is the next commission

1583
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:13,280
meeting. Um moving down the October 2nd

1584
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:15,520
is the Bourbon Chase. Uh the epicenter

1585
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,000
will be fourth in Maine. Again, you'll

1586
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,120
have u a significant number of people

1587
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,360
that that pass through town during that

1588
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:25,920
event. Each bus has six people on it.

1589
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:27,440
You'll have three or 4 hundred buses.

1590
01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:29,120
So, you're going to have you could have

1591
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,360
5,000 people that will will kind of move

1592
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,120
like a herd through downtown over a

1593
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,719
period of a few hours there. And um it's

1594
01:20:36,719 --> 01:20:38,880
a it's a sight to see if you would like

1595
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:40,159
to come out and definitely would

1596
01:20:40,159 --> 01:20:41,840
encourage you to do that. Center

1597
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:43,679
college's homecoming is the 15th through

1598
01:20:43,679 --> 01:20:48,239
the 17th. The um audit process is is

1599
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:50,239
ongoing. If you have any questions, we'd

1600
01:20:50,239 --> 01:20:52,239
be happy to talk to you that the their

1601
01:20:52,239 --> 01:20:55,040
staff was in the building last week. The

1602
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:56,640
um skate park grand opening was

1603
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,960
terrific. Uh we had a a big day in the

1604
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:00,640
park that Saturday. You had touch a

1605
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,280
truck was going on. You had I think

1606
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,199
Commissioner Holland was watching soccer

1607
01:21:05,199 --> 01:21:08,000
that morning, too. And it was a it was a

1608
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:09,520
big day definitely for Millennium Park.

1609
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:10,960
But it was a it was a milestone day.

1610
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:12,719
There were some kids out there that

1611
01:21:12,719 --> 01:21:15,040
helped. They were they were adults now,

1612
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:16,480
but they were kids when the original

1613
01:21:16,480 --> 01:21:18,239
skate park was assembled.

1614
01:21:18,239 --> 01:21:20,560
>> And uh it's it's just an interesting

1615
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,760
thing to see how things uh like uh

1616
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,320
features in a park progress over time.

1617
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:27,920
>> And so you can see those kids that was

1618
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,400
learning to skate in 2005

1619
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,440
that are really impressive now as adults

1620
01:21:33,440 --> 01:21:35,199
that are encouraging others to skate and

1621
01:21:35,199 --> 01:21:36,560
taking care of the young folks. So it is

1622
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:41,040
interesting. Um the um October 15th is

1623
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:43,360
third Thursday witches night downtown 5

1624
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,480
to9 17 Saturday again is the chili

1625
01:21:46,480 --> 01:21:48,560
cookoff which you know and then I want

1626
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:50,719
to talk about the uh police chief hiring

1627
01:21:50,719 --> 01:21:54,000
process. We since the uh packet was

1628
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,239

01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:52,880
want to advertise the position. Um we

1651
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,880
are advertising nationally a as uh been

1652
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,120
suggested to me. We we are going through

1653
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:04,800
our national um um sources that we were

1654
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,760
able to um use during the fire chief

1655
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:11,840
hire that resulted in um a wide variety

1656
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,800
of applicants from across the the region

1657
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,760
and also some from out of state. Um, so

1658
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,400
we were able to what we consider a a

1659
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,440
wide spectrum of candidates.

1660
01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:28,639
We would like to uh then take those with a small committee. What I'm going

1661
01:23:28,639 --> 01:23:31,199
to use right now, unless you all give me

1662
01:23:31,199 --> 01:23:33,679
different direction, is the HR director.

1663
01:23:33,679 --> 01:23:35,360
I want to use the utility director and

1664
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,520
the city attorney to start to whittle

1665
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,920
down the applications once the deadline

1666
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:44,159
passes. Um we'll go through uh screen

1667
01:23:44,159 --> 01:23:46,400
those applicants down to a a small

1668
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,679
number and begin to do uh interviews on

1669
01:23:49,679 --> 01:23:53,440
with some top applicants. Um and we'll

1670
01:23:53,440 --> 01:23:55,920
do uh with that panel we'll we'll do

1671
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,080
that interview and then we'll ultimately

1672
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,159
um come back with a recommendation to

1673
01:24:00,159 --> 01:24:02,719
you guys at the end of that process. So

1674
01:24:02,719 --> 01:24:05,120
that slide, the very last page, page

1675
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:07,040
seven of that packet indicates the

1676
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:09,199
process that we would expect to to

1677
01:24:09,199 --> 01:24:12,000
follow, which is very similar to to the

1678
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,719
fire chief hire that we uh had to

1679
01:24:14,719 --> 01:24:17,440

1680
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:21,830

we come back in two weeks, if you all

01:24:34,639 --> 01:24:36,000
have a question on the process, you're

01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:39,360
welcome to bring that up then and and

1688
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,120
because it will be at once advertised,

1689
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:44,960
it will be out there for a while. Um so

1690
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,520
just know that. Um so you will have time

1691

do we do on the the fire chief Randy? 30

01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:01,120
days. Um actually I think it ended up

1697
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,360
being more like 60. We really didn't put

1698
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:05,520
a time stamp on it because we wanted to

1699
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,000
make sure that we got vid cabinets but I

1700
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:09,840
think practically I think it was open

1701
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:15,750

my name is Michael Thrasher and I reside

1714
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:54,080
at 75 Gwyn Island Circle in Boil County.

1715
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:56,080
Roughly eight years ago, a sewage

1716
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:58,239
pumping station was built in the

1717
01:25:58,239 --> 01:26:00,159
vicinity of the intersection of

1718
01:26:00,159 --> 01:26:03,120
Southbuster Pike and Highway 33 along

1719
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:06,560
Mox Creek. The city of Danville has been

1720
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:09,280
and is responsible for this pumping

1721
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,840
station and the one located near Spears

1722
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,869
Creek just off the Highway 2168 bypass.

>> [clears throat]

1724
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:18,400
>> Ever since a sewage pumping station was

1725
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,719
put into operation, there has been a

1726
01:26:20,719 --> 01:26:23,120
continued problem of air pollution from

1727
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:25,440
the pumping station, primarily during

1728
01:26:25,440 --> 01:26:29,040
the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.

1729
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:30,560
Though there has been some minor

1730
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:32,400
technical attention to the problem in

1731
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:36,080
the past, it still exists. The odor from

1732
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,360
this problem radiates about one quarter

1733
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,840
to [clears throat] one half of a mile.

1734
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,880
This distance encompasses not only

1735
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,360
houses near the intersection of Gwyn

1736
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:50,560
Island Road and Highway 33, but also

1737
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:52,320
nearby houses in the Hunt Farm

1738
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,320
subdivision and the Mox Creek

1739
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:55,920
subdivision.

1740
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,080
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 30

1741
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,639
houses are directly affected, plus

1742
01:27:00,639 --> 01:27:02,880
traffic passing through that area on

1743
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:06,880
Highway 33 and onto Gwyn Island Road. As

1744
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:09,199
a side note, the pumping station near

1745
01:27:09,199 --> 01:27:11,760
Spears Creek does not seem to have this

1746
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,120
air pollution problem to my knowledge.

1747
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,360
My sole purpose being here today and

1748
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,840
speaking to this group is to ensure that

1749
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,480
you as the governing body of the city of

1750
01:27:22,480 --> 01:27:25,600
Danville have been ma made aware of the

1751
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:27,840
problem of the air pollution caused by

1752
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,239
the sewage pumping station and that it

1753
01:27:30,239 --> 01:27:32,800
is a matter of public record. Thank you

1754
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:33,920
very much.

1755
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:34,880

01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:38,159
>> What was your name again? I'm sorry.

>> I'm not seeing them anymore.

1774
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:18,000
Um,

1775
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,400
>> you caught them all.

1776
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:21,199
>> You're not seeing them.

1777
01:28:21,199 --> 01:28:22,320
>> They disappeared.

01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,639
>> Yeah. Um,

1780
01:28:26,639 --> 01:28:28,400
speak about the cat that was in the

1781
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:30,719
window. Since we don't have planning and

1782
01:28:30,719 --> 01:28:33,199
zoning enforcement, we can't seem to get

1783
01:28:33,199 --> 01:28:37,199
a a phone call from any enforcement.

1784
01:28:37,199 --> 01:28:39,120
Dead cat laid in the window in that

1785
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:42,239
house next to me or my daughter for five

1786
01:28:42,239 --> 01:28:45,760
days. Dogs broke the windows out. They

1787
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:49,199
attacked and came after my daughter.

1788
01:28:49,199 --> 01:28:52,639
Trapped one woman in the car.

1789
01:28:52,639 --> 01:28:54,400
There's six of them in there. They've

1790
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,560
been gone. They left them there for over

1791
01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:58,966
five days.

1794
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,440
over there and look, do anything.

01:29:03,440 --> 01:29:06,239
>> What's that address again?

1796
01:29:06,239 --> 01:29:10,080
>> My address for my do my house is 418.

01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:11,280
It's the one next to me.

1798
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,920
>> Yeah, it was 416

1799
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:14,800
420.

1800
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:18,239
>> It should be 416, I think. But I'm not

1801
01:29:18,239 --> 01:29:20,639
positive that that's the number. It

1802
01:29:20,639 --> 01:29:23,840
should be, but mine is 418. I'm next to

1803
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,320
it. It laid in the window right beside

1804
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,360
our driveway and the smell and the

1805
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:32,639
stench from the house is rank comes out

1806
01:29:32,639 --> 01:29:35,040
of it all day.

1807
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,950
Now

1808
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:40,880
the dogs

1809
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:44,080
I I mean they have barked but they

1810
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:47,760
actually came after my daughter and run

1811
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:52,800
her in the house. Pin one in the car.

1812
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,679
I'm not going to put up with that.

1813
01:29:55,679 --> 01:29:58,159
I don't want to. I'm gonna have my

1814
01:29:58,159 --> 01:30:01,199
granddaughter get bit or my grandson. I

1815
01:30:01,199 --> 01:30:02,480
don't know if any of y'all have ever

1816
01:30:02,480 --> 01:30:06,480
been dog bit, but it it hurts. I have

1817
01:30:06,480 --> 01:30:10,159
twice about two bad dogs.

1818
01:30:10,159 --> 01:30:11,760
Shots and all that you have to go

1819
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:17,669
through. Now,

1820
01:30:17,679 --> 01:30:21,679
I got to address this. I didn't get to a

1821
01:30:21,679 --> 01:30:23,440
while back because I've been busy with

1822
01:30:23,440 --> 01:30:26,560
my grandkids. But I wanted to say this

1823
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,480
to Mr. Coffee here. Average average

1824
01:30:30,480 --> 01:30:32,159
citizen

1825
01:30:32,159 --> 01:30:35,280
uh few meetings back it was said it

1826
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,320
spoke they don't quite understand the

1827
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:41,920
workings of the public

1828
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,679
agendas and the uh government. I

1829
01:30:45,679 --> 01:30:47,760
understand it pretty good. I brought

1830
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:51,600
this up with Mr. Uh Jason at the county

1831
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,760
because he said it too there. We

1832
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:55,440
understand a lot more than you all think

1833
01:30:55,440 --> 01:31:02,149
we do. I've been watching a lot more.

1834
01:31:02,159 --> 01:31:05,679
I guess that was my 30 minutes.

1835
01:31:05,679 --> 01:31:07,520
>> Did you self-govern yourself there?

1836
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:10,159
>> I figured I better.

1837
01:31:10,159 --> 01:31:11,920
>> That's not all I had to say. Was that

1838
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:13,520
your last item?

1839
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:15,040
>> Was that your last item?

1840
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:15,679
>> No.

1841
01:31:15,679 --> 01:31:17,920
You got another I I wanted to ask

1842
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:20,159
about well is that the reason that you

1843
01:31:20,159 --> 01:31:22,000
can't get because of the turnover with

1844
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:23,600
the planning and zoning and the

1845
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:25,840
enforcement code enforcement is that why

1846
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:27,440
you can't I couldn't get somebody to

1847
01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:29,920

1848

Jenny Rogers between Jenny Rogers and

1920
01:34:08,480 --> 01:34:12,320
Monasuri and there's the walkway um not

1921
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,320
only the people that help the kids walk

1922
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,880
but um where Alta and East Maine is

1923
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,360
people don't stop

1924
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,639
and I've had um several people wonder if

1925
01:34:22,639 --> 01:34:25,520
there can be a speed hump before or

1926
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:29,360
after the crosswalk or something um

1927
01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:30,639
because there's been some scary

1928
01:34:30,639 --> 01:34:34,639
incidents um with kids and all going to

01:34:34,639 --> 01:34:35,840
Jenny Rogers.

of that.

1932
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:40,639
>> Yeah, we'll put it on our list. I've

1933
01:34:40,639 --> 01:34:42,159
always had kind kind of had my eye on

1934
01:34:42,159 --> 01:34:43,840
that intersection for a mini roundabout.

1935
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:46,239
I'm not sure if the the dimensions would

1936
01:34:46,239 --> 01:34:47,520
work, but it would definitely do the

1937
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:48,960
job, but we'll we'll take a look at it

1938
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:49,520

01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:27,199
the website as well so the public can

1987
01:40:27,199 --> 01:40:30,560
get the full document as well. Um we'll

1988
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:33,040
be submitting it to the National

1989
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,199
Government Finance Officers Association

1990
01:40:35,199 --> 01:40:37,119
to attempt

1991
01:40:37,119 --> 01:40:40,080
um a budget award. Um this will be our

1992
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:41,840
second attempt. We have not yet got the

1993
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:43,440
award, but we got some good feedback

1994
01:40:43,440 --> 01:40:46,159
last time. So, um hopefully we'll get

1995
01:40:46,159 --> 01:40:49,840
some more feedback this year as well. Um

1996
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,080
and see if we get to get a nice gold

1997
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:56,320
star for um uh gold standard in

1998
01:40:56,320 --> 01:41:00,159
budgeting as a as a city. So, uh we just

1999
01:41:00,159 --> 01:41:02,080
wanted to present this to you all as an

2000
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:03,840
official document. It it just takes a

2001
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:06,719
while. Takes time to do it. It takes um

2002
01:41:06,719 --> 01:41:08,960
time to review it. You know, Melanie

2003
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:11,119
helped out. I've got a staff member,

2004
01:41:11,119 --> 01:41:14,159
Mariah, who put her poor heart and soul

2005
01:41:14,159 --> 01:41:16,320
into it this year. Last year, we had our

2006
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:20,719
intern um working on it. And um it just

2007
01:41:20,719 --> 01:41:24,960
it's a team effort that a lot of tears

2008
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:29,040
back there and paper cuts

2009
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,040
>> close to 200 pages.

2010
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:31,920
>> 200 pages.

2011
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:33,040
>> Oh man, that's

2012
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:34,400
>> And you guys need to read every single

2013
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:34,960
one of them,

2014
01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:36,480
>> right? I say don't print too many

2015
01:41:36,480 --> 01:41:38,960
copies, man. If you catch a typo, tell

2016
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:40,480
me before [snorts] Wednesday when

2017
01:41:40,480 --> 01:41:41,760
therefore Wednesday.

2018
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:42,480
>> I'm sorry.

2019
01:41:42,480 --> 01:41:43,920
>> Are there numbers in it?

2020
01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:47,679
>> There are numbers all over it.

2021
01:41:47,679 --> 01:41:49,119
>> It's in the packet, but just going

2022
01:41:49,119 --> 01:41:50,719
through the It's pretty impressive

2023
01:41:50,719 --> 01:41:51,119
though.

2024
01:41:51,119 --> 01:41:53,280
>> It is in the packet. the the actual line

2025
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:55,199
item budget is also included in the

2026
01:41:55,199 --> 01:41:58,080
document itself, but it's really um the

2027
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:00,719
intent of the budget book is is to be

2028
01:42:00,719 --> 01:42:03,119
almost an analysis of your budget plus

2029
01:42:03,119 --> 01:42:06,880
to include um uh like your policies like

2030
01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:10,400
I throw Ry's um authorized positions

2031
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:13,679
policy in there and the comp plan and we

2032
01:42:13,679 --> 01:42:16,400
include debt and um

2033
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:20,639
>> lots of lots of things. Um

2034
01:42:20,639 --> 01:42:22,560
it's a we try to make it a little bit

2035
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:26,159
visual but it's um

2036
01:42:26,159 --> 01:42:28,320
it's available to the public. I will say

2037
01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:30,719
this type of budget book is not as

2038
01:42:30,719 --> 01:42:39,520
easily understood by the public which is um on my list of next things after this is to start producing what's

2039
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,159
called a popular annual financial report

2040
01:42:42,159 --> 01:42:44,560
which is a short

2041
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:46,400
>> public update kind of a little different

2042
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:48,719
than what we do at our monthly and

2043
01:42:48,719 --> 01:42:50,320
quarterly updates that you all get but

2044
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:52,080
is really truly geared toward the

2045
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:54,880
public. Um whereas my reports to you all

2046
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:56,800
are geared so that you all know the

2047
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:00,159
position of of the city financially. Um

2048
01:43:00,159 --> 01:43:02,480
so this is we're happy for the public to

2049
01:43:02,480 --> 01:43:04,159
look at it, ask questions. Like I said,

2050
01:43:04,159 --> 01:43:06,719
we'll have some printed copies for them,

2051
01:43:06,719 --> 01:43:08,960
but a lot of times they don't know what

2052
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:12,080
a consolidated financial statement is or

2053
01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:17,440
um necessarily what our funds are and what they're for. And so this could

2054
01:43:17,440 --> 01:43:19,920
be a little bit overwhelming to a true

2055
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:23,600
non-financial person, but it's in there.

2056
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:25,040
Um, if you have any questions about it,

2057
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:26,400
let me know.

2058
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:27,760
>> Thank you, ma'am. No extraction needed

2059
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:28,719
on that one.

2060
01:43:28,719 --> 01:43:30,159
>> I just want to say thank you because

2061
01:43:30,159 --> 01:43:32,159
that's not been done in a long time.

2062
01:43:32,159 --> 01:43:32,800
>> Yeah.

2063
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:34,880
>> And it and I think once we get a good

2064
01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:37,840
process in invol place, it'll be a

2065
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:38,960
little quicker.

2066
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,119
>> Um, but it takes it takes a lot of work.

2067
01:43:41,119 --> 01:43:43,280
We've been working on it since since

2068
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:45,840
April. It's just a and the system we

2069
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:47,920
use, we use Canva a lot for it. It's

2070
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:49,760
finicky and

2071
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:52,480
>> um so we've been working on it. It just

2072
01:43:52,480 --> 01:43:54,362
takes a while.

2073
01:43:54,362 --> 01:43:54,639
[clears throat]

2074
01:43:54,639 --> 01:43:56,000
>> All right. The next item which does

2075
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:58,159
require some action is the Denver Board

2076
01:43:58,159 --> 01:43:59,679
County Development Core budget

2077
01:43:59,679 --> 01:44:02,000
allocation request. M Compton, you going

2078
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:03,280
to take the lead on that one?

2079
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:06,960
>> Yeah. So in um budget um this year we

2080
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:10,239
allocated $50,000 to the Danville Boil

2081
01:44:10,239 --> 01:44:12,480
County Economic Development Corporation.

2082
01:44:12,480 --> 01:44:14,480
We are recommending that that allocation

2083
01:44:14,480 --> 01:44:17,040
be increased to 100,000. That is

2084
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:19,119
commensurate with where it was a couple

2085
01:44:19,119 --> 01:44:22,800
years ago. Um we had reduced it um for a

2086
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:24,719
couple years running. Um there were a

2087
01:44:24,719 --> 01:44:27,679
few reasons um for that partially

2088
01:44:27,679 --> 01:44:32,239
budgetary, partially I think um some

2089
01:44:32,239 --> 01:44:36,560
communication issues. Um we, you know, I

2090
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:38,800
feel comfortable requesting that you all

2091
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:40,960
increase it. I do sit on the board's um

2092
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:42,719
finance committee for the Danville Bo

2093
01:44:42,719 --> 01:44:44,960
County Development Courts Fina finance

2094
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:48,239
committee. Um they're they're taking a

2095
01:44:48,239 --> 01:44:52,719
very strong and and um financially

2096
01:44:52,719 --> 01:44:56,880
responsible position in their upcoming

2097
01:44:56,880 --> 01:45:00,480
um year. Um and I think in the best

2098
01:45:00,480 --> 01:45:02,080
interest of the city and the

2099
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:05,280
corporation, we should increase their

2100
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:07,040
current year [clears throat] funding.

2101
01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:11,510
>> Thank you, ma'am. Is there a motion?

2102
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:14,320
» I move to approve the request as

2103
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:16,880
presented.

2104
01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:18,480
>> Thank you, ma'am.

2105
01:45:18,480 --> 01:45:21,679
>> I'll second.

2106
01:45:21,679 --> 01:45:24,159
>> Thank you, ma'am. Any questions to Miss

2107
01:45:24,159 --> 01:45:29,430
Compton?

2108
01:45:29,440 --> 01:45:32,800
Hearing? None. All those in favor say I.

2109
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:35,440
I. Those opposed. Motion carries.

01:45:35,440 --> 01:45:38,709
Thank you all. [clears throat]

2111
01:45:38,719 --> 01:45:41,040

01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:50,560

01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:52,719
Hun, welcome.

2115
01:45:52,719 --> 01:45:58,709
>> Good to see you back there, man.

01:45:58,719 --> 01:46:01,600
Uh this is dispersement request number

2117
01:46:01,600 --> 01:46:05,360
six for the second round of KPDI funds

2118
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:08,080
that have been awarded to the EDA. Um

2119
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:11,440
this is related to the project that the

2120
01:46:11,440 --> 01:46:13,199
local match is being funded by the

2121
01:46:13,199 --> 01:46:16,480
industrial foundation. Um it's the

2122
01:46:16,480 --> 01:46:21,280
project that is um

2123
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:24,560
uh there's too many KPIs

2124
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:27,440
>> Stagal Road. Stagal road. Uh within the

2125
01:46:27,440 --> 01:46:29,360
packet is the dispersement request and

2126
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:32,400
an update on the project. Um but we just

2127
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:35,760
need this signed for the dispersement by

2128
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:37,520
the cabinet.

2129
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:39,679
>> And the request is for how much?

2130
01:46:39,679 --> 01:46:41,360
>> Oh

2131
01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:44,159

2132
01:46:44,159 --> 01:46:44,800
Yeah,

2134
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,480
on the grant. Um, and total is a

2135
01:46:50,480 --> 01:46:52,960
million. Um, but this is a direct pass

2136
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:55,760
through to the EDA from the city.

2137
01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:58,000

comment now?

2174
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,560
>> Uh, just just to read uh to remind the

2175
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:18,320
public from the last meeting, rates for

2176
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:22,239

2177
01:48:22,239 --> 01:48:26,239
um 11.7 cents per 100 for real property.

2178
01:48:26,239 --> 01:48:27,760
17.95

2179
01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:31,199
cents per $100 of personal property and

2180
01:48:31,199 --> 01:48:34,639

for real property which is your home

2182
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,719
property. This is a decrease in your

2183
01:48:38,719 --> 01:48:41,520
rate for 2026.

2184
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,000
>> Thank you ma'am. The word decrease is

2185
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:45,600
very important right.

2186
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:49,040
>> All right. Next item. Resolution 2026

2187
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:51,360

>> This is Wait. Sorry.

2194
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:03,600
>> We did. We did roll call vote, didn't

2195
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:04,880

2196
01:49:04,880 --> 01:49:06,080
>> Oh, we did. Okay.

2197
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:06,560
>> Yeah,

2198
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:10,629
>> you scared me. [laughter]

2199
01:49:10,639 --> 01:49:12,560
» That's all right. I have them all the

2200
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:14,239
time. All right, Marshall. I'm sorry. Go

2201
01:49:14,239 --> 01:49:15,119
ahead.

2202
01:49:15,119 --> 01:49:17,280
>> Thank you, Mayor. Um, this is a request

2203
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:20,880
for approval of proceeding for with the

2204
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:22,719
Kentucky Infrastructure Authority grant

2205
01:49:22,719 --> 01:49:25,440
agreement for wastewater treatment plant

2206
01:49:25,440 --> 01:49:28,080
improvements phase 2 project. This grant

2207
01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:31,840
agreement uh totals $12 million.

2208
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:35,679
Um, and this goes along with the

2209
01:49:35,679 --> 01:49:39,679
previously approved um, KIA

2210
01:49:39,679 --> 01:49:45,679
uh, lowinterest loan agreement that we approved a couple months ago for

2211
01:49:45,679 --> 01:49:47,360
an additional $10 million. So that

2212
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:50,400
brings us to $22 million to fund the

2213
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:51,995
project.

2214
01:49:51,995 --> 01:49:52,800
[clears throat]

2215
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:55,920
>> Is there a motion to accept

2216
01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:59,760
the grant assistance agreement?

2217
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:01,760
I'll make a motion to approve resolution

2218
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:04,560
202692804.

2219
01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:05,760
>> Yeah, I was concerned about that

2220
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:07,920
hesitation. Is there a second?

2221
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:09,440
>> No hesitation.

2222
01:50:09,440 --> 01:50:10,480
>> Second.

2223
01:50:10,480 --> 01:50:12,960
>> Thank you, ladies.

2224
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:14,480
Any questions or comments on this,

2225
01:50:14,480 --> 01:50:16,080
Grant?

2226
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:19,760
>> The match was what? Uh

2227
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:21,119
>> what was the match?

2228
01:50:21,119 --> 01:50:22,400
>> There's no match on this.

2229
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:23,600
>> Oh, wow.

2230
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:23,920
>> Yeah.

2231
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:26,400
>> No hesitation.

2232
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:30,320
>> Wow. the TW me.

2233
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:32,320
All those in favor say I.

2234
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:33,360
>> I.

2235
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:37,920
>> Those opposed? Motion carries.

2236
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:42,480
Next item is solid waste ordinance.

2237
01:50:42,480 --> 01:50:43,920
Orderous discussion.

2238
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:46,080
>> Excuse you. [laughter]

2239
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,560
>> Well, it was Josh. I guess Josh, you're

2240
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:50,639
up, right?

2241
01:50:50,639 --> 01:50:53,119
>> Yes. Thank you all. Um this and you know

2242
01:50:53,119 --> 01:50:54,639
it's been a this meeting's been a little

2243
01:50:54,639 --> 01:50:56,239
bit of a longer one so we don't have to

2244
01:50:56,239 --> 01:50:57,520
spend a lot of time on this because this

2245
01:50:57,520 --> 01:51:00,080
isn't timesensitive. We during the

2246
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:01,360
process of all the solid waste changes

2247
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:02,560
we've made this year. We've gone through

2248
01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:04,080
the solid waste ordinance and it needed

2249
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:07,760
to be updated uh in a big way. So

2250
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:09,679
>> if you look through it's in your packet

2251
01:51:09,679 --> 01:51:10,800
the update that we've done. There's a

2252
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:13,040
lot of red. We it shows all the changes

2253
01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:14,800
and it's almost all red. We've had to

2254
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:16,159
change almost the entire thing. This is

2255
01:51:16,159 --> 01:51:18,320
something my our staff we worked with

2256
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:19,760
codes enforcement on because there was a

2257
01:51:19,760 --> 01:51:21,360
lot of codes enforcement portions to

2258
01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:23,760
this. Um it really just modernizing it

2259
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:25,199
and also providing us with some

2260
01:51:25,199 --> 01:51:26,639
enforcement mechanisms that we

2261
01:51:26,639 --> 01:51:28,960
previously didn't have such as

2262
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:30,639
previously we there was no ordinance

2263
01:51:30,639 --> 01:51:32,000
that says you couldn't put your garbage

2264
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:33,679
in a recycling container.

2265
01:51:33,679 --> 01:51:34,960
>> So we didn't have any enforcement

2266
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:36,400
measures for that if we caught somebody

2267
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:38,560
doing that. So that's in there. I'm

2268
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:39,520
going to run through real quick some

2269
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:40,800
highlighted stuff. Like I said this is

2270
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:42,239
not time sensitive. We don't have to

2271
01:51:42,239 --> 01:51:44,159
approve anything tonight. I wanted to

2272
01:51:44,159 --> 01:51:45,520
get you this in your hands, show you

2273
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:46,800
some of the big changes, and then let

2274
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:48,080
you all stew on it for a little bit, and

2275
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:51,520
we can we can talk about this later. Um,

2276
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:53,440
very first page, there's a and we can

2277
01:51:53,440 --> 01:51:55,440
get in more into this later. We define

2278
01:51:55,440 --> 01:51:56,800
apartment complexes, townhouse

2279
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:59,119
complexes, conomian complexes as a

2280
01:51:59,119 --> 01:52:00,880
property that has six or more units on

2281
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:02,960
it. We're going to use that later to

2282
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:04,159
tell people where they have to have

2283
01:52:04,159 --> 01:52:07,199
dumpsters at moving forward. Um, because

2284
01:52:07,199 --> 01:52:08,960
th those are our big trouble areas with

2285
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:10,480
containers right now. and from

2286
01:52:10,480 --> 01:52:12,560
enforcement standpoint is when we have

2287
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:15,920
a, you know, sixlex with a very small

2288
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:17,760
road frontage area and they're all

2289
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:19,199
putting all these containers there all

2290
01:52:19,199 --> 01:52:20,960
at the same time and it's it makes that

2291
01:52:20,960 --> 01:52:22,159
difficult. So, we're going to try to get

2292
01:52:22,159 --> 01:52:24,400
more dumpsters in those locations. So,

2293
01:52:24,400 --> 01:52:26,480
that that that definition will apply

2294
01:52:26,480 --> 01:52:28,560
later. You know, we define recyclable

2295
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:29,920
materials. We kind of leave that a

2296
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:31,760
little bit open so it can change because

2297
01:52:31,760 --> 01:52:33,520
that's not something I also we tried to

2298
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:35,760
make this as evergreen as we could. uh

2299
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,280
that you know as things change in the

2300
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:38,639
future that we don't have to go back and

2301
01:52:38,639 --> 01:52:40,239
be revisiting this ordinance all the

2302
01:52:40,239 --> 01:52:42,960
time. Um put in here about solid waste

2303
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:45,520
collector uh that we contract that that

2304
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:50,000
out. So how that's going to work. Um

2305
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:52,639
on page 27-2.1

2306
01:52:52,639 --> 01:52:55,440
we go more into we we created a section

2307
01:52:55,440 --> 01:52:58,560
about downtown collection. Um this is

2308
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:00,400
probably the area that we had the most

2309
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:02,480
discussion about of of how to do

2310
01:53:02,480 --> 01:53:05,040
downtown solid waste collection. Um,

2311
01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:06,480
this could be one I could see us coming

2312
01:53:06,480 --> 01:53:09,280
back to in the future after we do a

2313
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:11,599
little trial and error with with this

2314
01:53:11,599 --> 01:53:13,199
with when you read through this. It's a

2315
01:53:13,199 --> 01:53:14,800
lot about, you know, where do we what

2316
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:16,400
enforcement do we have for when people

2317
01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:18,000
use roll carts, when do we force them to

2318
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:19,520
use dumpsters, when does the city put

2319
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:20,960
out dumpsters, and you have kind of

2320
01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:22,560
common areas as long as they're paying

2321
01:53:22,560 --> 01:53:24,960
in to the overall collection on their on

2322
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:28,800
their water bill. Um, and then we talk

2323
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:30,320
about grease and oil that they need to

2324
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:31,440
address. If there's a restaurant, they

2325
01:53:31,440 --> 01:53:32,560
need to address their grease and oil.

2326
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:33,599
And they do that through the health

2327
01:53:33,599 --> 01:53:35,360
department and through uh wastewater

2328
01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:37,599
with with Marshall and those folks. So,

2329
01:53:37,599 --> 01:53:42,080
um, we we added an area in there for

2330
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:43,520
they have to have their contain if

2331
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:44,800
they're using containers. If they're if

2332
01:53:44,800 --> 01:53:45,920
they're a business that there's no way

2333
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:47,280
we can get a dumpster, they have to use

2334
01:53:47,280 --> 01:53:49,119
containers. In this area that we

2335
01:53:49,119 --> 01:53:50,719
describe as downtown, they have to have

2336
01:53:50,719 --> 01:53:52,320
them off the sidewalk really quickly

2337
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:53,920
after it's picked up. They can't leave

2338
01:53:53,920 --> 01:53:56,800
their containers out. Even, you know,

2339
01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:58,639
residents, okay, you know, you you get

2340
01:53:58,639 --> 01:54:00,080
home from work late, you're gonna have

2341
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:01,760
time to get that off the off the curb,

2342
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:03,119
but downtown businesses need to get

2343
01:54:03,119 --> 01:54:04,400
those containers off the curb pretty

2344
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:06,880
quickly. Um,

2345
01:54:06,880 --> 01:54:09,679
and then it just on through 7-3 is about

2346
01:54:09,679 --> 01:54:11,840
the container requirements.

2347
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:14,239
Um, like I said, it it talks about where

2348
01:54:14,239 --> 01:54:15,679
feasibility and that that a lot of that

2349
01:54:15,679 --> 01:54:17,199
falls back on me to determine when

2350
01:54:17,199 --> 01:54:19,199
dumpsters are feasible and when row cart

2351
01:54:19,199 --> 01:54:20,560
row carts the city engineer has

2352
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:24,320
described in here. Um

2353
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:26,480
7-3F goes into a little bit more into

2354
01:54:26,480 --> 01:54:28,880
dumpster containers. Um and when those

2355
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:32,159
are utilized and when they're not. Um

2356
01:54:32,159 --> 01:54:34,480
especially when it comes to with like I

2357
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:36,320
said those multif family businesses when

2358
01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:37,679
they're going to be required to use a

2359
01:54:37,679 --> 01:54:39,040
dumpster, when they're eligible to use

2360
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:43,119
roll- cart pickup. Um 7-4 was a big one.

2361
01:54:43,119 --> 01:54:44,480
That was placement of containers. This

2362
01:54:44,480 --> 01:54:46,239
code enforcement had a big role in this

2363
01:54:46,239 --> 01:54:48,320
the updates to it which was when can

2364
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:49,520
people set their containers out? When do

2365
01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:50,639
they have to have them picked up? who's

2366
01:54:50,639 --> 01:54:56,639
responsible for that. Um, one thing that this is a little bit of an aside

2367
01:54:56,639 --> 01:54:59,040
I'll make quick. Anything that any

2368
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:00,480
issues we have with codes enforcement

2369
01:55:00,480 --> 01:55:02,560
with roll carts with gu with anything in

2370
01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:04,719
this area, it all goes back to the

2371
01:55:04,719 --> 01:55:06,800
property owner because that's the only

2372
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:12,800
thing we can tie it to. So, that's a a big a bit of u you know, it

2373
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:14,960
causes a bit of an issue because the the

2374
01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:16,239
especially landlords, they don't they

2375
01:55:16,239 --> 01:55:17,840
don't want to be dealing with who set

2376
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:19,199
their roll cars out, when they set them

2377
01:55:19,199 --> 01:55:20,400
out, did they pull them back in time,

2378
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:21,679
are they are they broken, those kind of

2379
01:55:21,679 --> 01:55:23,920
things. Um, but there really is nothing

2380
01:55:23,920 --> 01:55:25,599
for else for us to tie that codes of

2381
01:55:25,599 --> 01:55:27,679
enforcement to. We have to tie it to the

2382
01:55:27,679 --> 01:55:30,320
property owner. Um, so I think as much

2383
01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:34,639
of that as we can get cleaned up and and also make sure that the landlords

2384
01:55:34,639 --> 01:55:36,400
and the property owners are aware that

2385
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:37,920
they are the ones responsible for

2386
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:39,360
ultimately for that. They can pass that

2387
01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:41,199
some of that responsibility on to their

2388
01:55:41,199 --> 01:55:45,199
renters. Um,

2389
01:55:45,199 --> 01:55:48,239
that's what down at the bottom of

2390
01:55:48,239 --> 01:55:50,480
the page that starts 7-4 at the bottom

2391
01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:52,320
there is that this sentence about if

2392
01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:54,080
it's a recyclable, if it's designated as

2393
01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:55,599
recyclable roll card, it can only have

2394
01:55:55,599 --> 01:55:57,199
recyclables in it. So that gives us a

2395
01:55:57,199 --> 01:55:58,480
little bit of enforcement teeth with

2396
01:55:58,480 --> 01:56:02,400
that. Um and then you get to 7-4.1 that

2397
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:04,000
talks about this the collection fee

2398
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:06,159
charges. In the past we actually had the

2399
01:56:06,159 --> 01:56:07,760
dollar amount in this ordinance. So

2400
01:56:07,760 --> 01:56:10,639
we've taken we replace that with it

2401
01:56:10,639 --> 01:56:12,000
depends on the contract with the solid

2402
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:13,280
waste collector and it'll be determined

2403
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:15,119
annually by the city commission. Uh so

2404
01:56:15,119 --> 01:56:17,760
they can it can change annually with as

2405
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:21,679
is due with the contract. Um, yeah, and

2406
01:56:21,679 --> 01:56:23,440
it kind of it describes kind of how we

2407
01:56:23,440 --> 01:56:24,960
do things now with the base service of

2408
01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:26,560
one cart. Extra services go through the

2409
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:29,520
solid waste collector. Um, but yeah,

2410
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:31,679
that's that's really the highlights. Uh,

2411
01:56:31,679 --> 01:56:33,360
like I said, we can spend some time

2412
01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:34,560
looking at this. If you all have any

2413
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:37,199
questions, reach out. Um, but yeah, this

2414
01:56:37,199 --> 01:56:38,719
is just something that we just needed to

2415
01:56:38,719 --> 01:56:40,639
do just from it really needed to be

2416
01:56:40,639 --> 01:56:42,639
updated. Uh, we got I got a couple other

2417
01:56:42,639 --> 01:56:44,239
ordinances on my list that we'll

2418
01:56:44,239 --> 01:56:46,480
hopefully get to in the near future um

2419
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:48,560
that need to be updated as well. So, uh,

2420
01:56:48,560 --> 01:56:49,920
that's all I had for tonight unless

2421
01:56:49,920 --> 01:56:52,800
there's any any particular questions.

2422
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:54,080
>> They're not allowed. They're not allowed

2423
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:58,080
to ask any. Let's go. Uh, next item is

2424
01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:02,800
resolution uh 2026 092805

2425
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:07,440
Station number two for bid award. Josh,

2426
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:09,360
>> wait, wait, wait. How about this?

2427
01:57:09,360 --> 01:57:11,119
>> I'd like to entertain a motion to

2428
01:57:11,119 --> 01:57:14,800
approve this resolution

2429
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,520
for station number two. So moved.

2430
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:18,880
>> Thank you, ma'am. Is there a second?

2431
01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:20,560
>> Second.

2432
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:24,880
>> All right. Any questions about this bid?

2433
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:27,119
>> You all had a chance to study, right?

2434
01:57:27,119 --> 01:57:29,040
>> Josh, you want to make a real short

2435
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:29,520
comment?

2436
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:31,920
>> Yep. We uh opened bids on September 8th.

2437
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:33,760
We got four bids for the renovation of

2438
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:35,599
the flat roof at fire station number

2439
01:57:35,599 --> 01:57:38,159
two. Um the low bid was from Top Roofing

2440
01:57:38,159 --> 01:57:41,360
in the amount of $42,866.

2441
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:44,080
I reviewed it. Chief McCertie and I uh

2442
01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:46,239
we've looked at it together. staff at

2443
01:57:46,239 --> 01:57:47,679
the fire station met with these folks

2444
01:57:47,679 --> 01:57:49,199
when they came to review it before their

2445
01:57:49,199 --> 01:57:51,119
bid. They and we all we have a good

2446
01:57:51,119 --> 01:57:52,239
feeling about them. We've looked at

2447
01:57:52,239 --> 01:57:54,880
references and we recommend awarding the

2448
01:57:54,880 --> 01:57:57,679
bid to top roofing for that amount and

2449
01:57:57,679 --> 01:58:00,000
it's under budget by by a significant

2450
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:00,400
amount.

2451
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:00,960
>> Thank you, sir.

2452
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:03,920
>> So, all those in favor say I.

2453
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:08,950
>> I. Those opposed? Motion carries.

2454
01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:11,119
We like to entertain a motion for the

2455
01:58:11,119 --> 01:58:14,480
skate park skate park change order

2456
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:17,199
number one. Is there a motion?

2457
01:58:17,199 --> 01:58:20,000
Resolution 202692606.

2458
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:21,280
>> And I'll make that motion.

2459
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:22,560
>> Thank you, sir. Is there a second?

2460
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:23,520
>> Second.

2461
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:25,679
>> Thank you, ma'am.

2462
01:58:25,679 --> 01:58:27,280
Any brief comments on this one?

2463
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:29,520
>> This is actually a deduct of $1,500.

2464
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:31,760
There was meant to be painted on that

2465
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:34,080
low wall Millennium Skate Park.

2466
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:35,760
>> There was no version of that that we all

2467
01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:38,000
thought looked good. So, we just said,

2468
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:40,159
"Let's just scratch it. We'll figure out

2469
01:58:40,159 --> 01:58:41,920
some signage later." Because we just

2470
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:43,280
couldn't, nobody was comfortable with

2471
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:44,719
how anything looked that they drew up

2472
01:58:44,719 --> 01:58:46,159
for us. So, that's what we're getting

2473
01:58:46,159 --> 01:58:48,080
this deduct for.

2474
01:58:48,080 --> 01:58:49,679
>> Thank you, sir.

2475
01:58:49,679 --> 01:58:51,360
>> I was wondering what it was. So,

2476
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:54,000
>> okay.

2477
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:57,599
>> All those in favor of resolution 092806

2478
01:58:57,599 --> 01:58:58,960
say I.

2479
01:58:58,960 --> 01:58:59,679
>> I.

2480
01:58:59,679 --> 01:59:02,159
>> Those opposed? Motion carries. Thank you

2481
01:59:02,159 --> 01:59:07,510
all. Resolution 2692807

motion to accept this resolution.

2485
01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:17,040
>> So move.

2486
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:18,800
>> Is there a second?

2487
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:19,440
>> Second.

2488
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:21,760
>> Thank you, ma'am.

2489
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:26,320
Josh, brief comment. Yes, this is uh we applied for a similar grant last year

2490
01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:28,320
that had different name, but uh this is

2491
01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:30,400
a state program that pays for mostly

2492
01:59:30,400 --> 01:59:33,199
resurfacing of existing streets. We are

2493
01:59:33,199 --> 01:59:36,320
applying for $200,000 and then with that

2494
01:59:36,320 --> 01:59:38,800
has a $50,000 match to repave corporate

2495
01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:41,440
drive. Um so that's the project that we

2496
01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:42,960
would like to apply for. Applications I

2497
01:59:42,960 --> 01:59:45,440
think are due on Thursday. So we'll get

2498
01:59:45,440 --> 01:59:48,400
that we'll get that sent in tomorrow.

2499
01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:51,199
>> Thank you, sir.

2500
01:59:51,199 --> 01:59:54,320
>> All those in favor?

2501
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:56,719
plan for this grant. Say

2502
01:59:56,719 --> 01:59:58,480
>> I.

2503
01:59:58,480 --> 02:00:02,000
>> Those opposed. Motion carries. Okay. Uh,

2504
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:03,520
thank you. Well, Josh, resolution

02:00:09,119 --> 02:00:11,599
there a motion to approve this fee

2508
02:00:11,599 --> 02:00:14,639
increase for Meadow

2509
02:00:14,639 --> 02:00:15,760

2513
02:00:24,639 --> 02:00:27,599
Thank you, ma'am. Josh, brief comments.

2514
02:00:27,599 --> 02:00:30,239
>> Uh, yes. This is that project that's the

2515
02:00:30,239 --> 02:00:31,760
swell that runs between Metobrook and

2516
02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:33,040
Brook Haven. We have a lot of flooding

2517
02:00:33,040 --> 02:00:35,040
and erosion issues out there. This is

2518
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:37,040
they've done a preliminary design uh

2519
02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:38,639
that we're we're on board with and now

2520
02:00:38,639 --> 02:00:40,080
this will just they'll prepare the final

2521
02:00:40,080 --> 02:00:42,320
bid documents uh for this fee and then

2522
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:43,840
we'll get it out the bid. I think this

2523
02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:45,119
will be something we'll ask for in the

2524
02:00:45,119 --> 02:00:46,960
budget next year. Uh probably start

2525
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:48,560
hopefully start next summer would be the

2526
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:51,440
goal for it. Uh but yeah, it's $22,500

2527
02:00:51,440 --> 02:00:53,280
for them to to complete the bid

2528
02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:56,320
documents with it's Strand Associates is

2529
02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:58,000

2530
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,639

>> well they just they the scope of work

2532
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:03,920
they they've not gotten a fee for that

2533
02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:05,840
yet. They just they we approved their

2534
02:01:05,840 --> 02:01:07,679
fee to do preliminary design. Now we're

2535
02:01:07,679 --> 02:01:09,280
approving their fee to do the the final

2536
02:01:09,280 --> 02:01:09,760
design.

2537
02:01:09,760 --> 02:01:10,080

All right. Resolution 202692809

2547
02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:35,119
Stanford. Oh, this is the agreement

2548
02:01:35,119 --> 02:01:36,639
between the Danville Fire Department and

2549
02:01:36,639 --> 02:01:39,520
the Stanford Fire Department. Okay. Um,

2550
02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:40,960
is there a motion to approve this

2551
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:42,239
resolution?

2552
02:01:42,239 --> 02:01:44,159
>> I'll move to approve.

2553
02:01:44,159 --> 02:01:45,119
Is there a second?

02:01:45,119 --> 02:01:46,000
>> Second.

2555
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:47,760
>> Thank you all. All right, Chief, give

2556
02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:49,679
them a brief explanation of this. What

2557
02:01:49,679 --> 02:01:50,000
do you mean?

2558
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:51,440
>> Thank you, mayor, commissioners. Uh,

2559
02:01:51,440 --> 02:01:53,599
yes, very similar to the last agreement

2560
02:01:53,599 --> 02:01:56,239
that you uh approved between B County

2561
02:01:56,239 --> 02:01:58,880
and and Naval. Um, we we're just trying

2562
02:01:58,880 --> 02:02:00,639
to go through systematically with all

2563
02:02:00,639 --> 02:02:02,960
our neighboring departments and get an

2564
02:02:02,960 --> 02:02:05,599
updated agreement before them so that we

2565
02:02:05,599 --> 02:02:06,960
can agree on them and get on the same

2566
02:02:06,960 --> 02:02:08,880
page. Stanford is a little bit different

2567
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:11,520
of a um of an agreement because they

2568
02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:14,800
also offer ladder operations and they

2569
02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:16,719
can support us in latter operations as

2570
02:02:16,719 --> 02:02:18,880
well as we can do for them. So this is

2571
02:02:18,880 --> 02:02:21,040
just another general guideline and

2572
02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:23,280
reciprocal reciprocal agreement um

2573
02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:25,440
between Stanford and Damble and I

2574
02:02:25,440 --> 02:02:27,920
appreciate you considering it for

2575
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:29,840
