uh, Learning Pod's initial request from

January.

51
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,720
Uh, the JDA previously approved, uh, the

52
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,240
$10,000 money request, uh, out of

53
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,880
$18,000,

54
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,720
uh, with that additional $8,000 to be

00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,640
released upon a 6-month operating

00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,560
period.

57
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Um, so I did invite Katie from Learning

58
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,280
Pod to come and give a brief update for

59
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,240
you guys

60
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,680
with the initial release of the

61
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,856
$8,000.

record, please?

65
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,920
>> Katie Fowler, I'm the owner director of

66
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,830
The Learning Pond.

67
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,920
All right. So, um I'm requesting the

68
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:14,760
funds for

69
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,320
um The Learning Pond.

70
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,560
Uh the money will be used to address a

71
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,680
short-term cash flow

72
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,080
timing gap. So,

73
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,520
through this process I've actually

74
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,520
learned a lot about this business. Um

75
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,520
everything has been under I own a

76
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480
daycare in Minot and then this one. So,

77
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,120
everything has been under the same EIN

78
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,560
number. So, we've been just kind of

79
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,160
pushing things back and forth. And so,

80
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,880
as of July 1st, we are totally

81
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,880
separating the two. They will have their

82
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,120
separate EIN numbers. They'll be totally

83
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,040
two separate entities. Um

84
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,320
this funding is kind of my way of

85
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:52,959
um

86
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:54,720
making sure that we're not borrowing

87
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600
from this entity to pay this or vice

88
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720
versa. This is going to help with um

89
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,560
right now we're struggling to make

90
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,920
payroll because of the fact that we're

91
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:06,800
borrowing from both

92
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,600
uh both

93
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,320
the expenses of those two entities.

94
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,572
Um

95
00:03:12,572 --> 00:03:13,120
>> [clears throat]

96
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,680
>> as of Ju- June 1st, we are fully

97
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200
um full with enrollment and then we have

98
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,790
eight staff. So, that's 30 kids to eight

99
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,040
We would like to see a couple more staff

100
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,120
until we get this kind of under control

101
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,160
and funding and everything

102
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,680
um coming in

103
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,760
consistently. Right now, like with

104
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,000
childcare, um some of the families are

105
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,680
on waitlists and the state has no idea

106
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,480
how long that will be. We can't really

107
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,120
seem to get a clear answer as far as

108
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,120
when

109
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:46,632
um

110
00:03:46,632 --> 00:03:47,200
>> [cough]

111
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,000
>> or even why that that There are some

112
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,320
families that have been on the waitlist

113
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,400
since December and they don't know when

114
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,920
they will come off. So, that's what kind

115
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,680
of trouble we're in there. We have put

116
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,080
in a place where

117
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,520
if they are on the wait list, it is

118
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,480
known ahead of time before they come

119
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,200
into the facility that they are expected

120
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,120
to cover those costs until they come off of that wait list

121
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,080
because our budget

122
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,120
expects that funding. You know, that's

123
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,320
kind of how we make our budget is off of

124
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,200
our enrollments.

125
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,600
This money, like I said, will help us

126
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,720
as of July or yeah, July 1st to

127
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,670
separate the two.

128
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,280
And we are working on

129
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:37,880
our center license, so that will bump

130
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,400
our enrollment up just a few spots.

131
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,320
So, we are a little ahead of schedule as

132
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,520
of the last meeting when I was here, um

133
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,919
we thought meeting July 1st which we see

134
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:49,600
that full enrollment right there on the

135
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,160
calendar.

136
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:57,363
>> Is it scheduled with that?

140
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,960
Rob was there too this morning after you

141
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,440
left the session for region three.

142
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,840
Uh somebody had mentioned that there's

143
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,440
around 850 families on this child care

144
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,480
assistance program wait list,

145
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,160
and it just continues to grow.

146
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,720
And as far as why

147
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,080
that fewer families on the wait list

148
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,120
isn't decreasing, it's not really known.

149
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,960
There's There's really no answer to be

150
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,400
given.

151
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,840
So, payments are being delayed. Families

152
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:30,720
continue to have to try and cover day

153
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,720
care costs themselves with this wait

154
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,440
list issue.

155
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,120
>> And they should go to a full hold on the

156

money for the planning.

157
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,360

158
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,120
>> Yes, but

159
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,960
there's still families that need to be

And granted, there are some that are

161
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:44,560
still

162
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,960
getting pushed off that wait list and

163
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,280
being accepted. Uh it's just taking way

164
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:49,118

00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,840
licensed to 65. How long will that take?

190
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:53,919
>> Um once everything is done, like we just

191
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:55,600
got the uh

192
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,830
license for the food and health

193
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,080
Um

194
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,880
so now that just needs to be uploaded

195
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,840
into the portal and then needs to go

196
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:07,120
through um

197
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,120
licensing and then come out and inspect

198
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,280
and

199
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,200
So once everything is loaded, I would

200
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,840
say a couple weeks.

201
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,520
>> Who loads that into the portal?

202
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:15,919
>> That?

203
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:17,680
>> Who loads that information into the

204
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,110
>> I do.

205
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,720
» Any other questions?

206
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,840
>> We will.

207
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,320
>> As you say, we were at the meeting.

208
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,800
>> Yeah.

209
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,680
>> I'll make a motion to approve the 10,000

210
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,560
uh the extra

211
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,840
>> By 8,000. 8,000.

212
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,640
>> Yeah.

213
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,880
>> 8,000 more.

214
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,520
>> I'll take the motion.

215
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,320
>> I'll second.

216
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,200
>> It's in order. Commissioner Adams.

217
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,560
second.

218
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,870
Any further discussion?

219
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,080
Roll call.

220
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:50,960
Commissioner Adams.

221
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:51,320
>> Aye.

222
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,520
>> Commissioner Yoder Cat.

223
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,000
>> Aye.

224
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:53,600
>> Commissioner Pierce.

225
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,120
>> Aye.

226
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,800
>> Commissioner Malkowski.

227
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,200
>> Aye.

228
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:56,920
>> Vote here.

229
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,520
>> Thank you.

230
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,800
for coming in and giving us an

231
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,200
update.

232
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,600
>> Yes, you're welcome.

233
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,880
>> Okay, item six, pay application number

235
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,840
single single-family housing planning

236
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,680
projects.

237
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,360
>> Answer.

238
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,080
>> Yeah, they're going

239
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,800

00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,280
last and final payment to Gleason

241
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Construction for those homes.

242
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,320
And

243
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,760
inspections department just issued

244
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,360
certificate of occupancy for all four

245
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,000
homes this morning.

246
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,680
And then the law

247
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,120
So, we would request your approval of

248
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,680
pay application number eight contingent

249
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,919
upon grass seeding there this week. Just

250
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:31,000
wanted to have you guys approve it so

251
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,360
that we can get the check signed and off

252
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,280
to

253
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,840
Gleason Construction here by the end of

254
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,760
this

255
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,000
I would just request you can make that

256
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,840
motion contingent

257
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,110
grass seeding.

258
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,040
It's a really good project.

259
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,000
The two homes

260
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,560
are

261
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,480
expected to

262
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,800
officially

263
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,360
have their transaction completed in the

264
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,760
middle of July. I'd say it's around the

265
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,080
15th of July, the 17th.

266
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,960
And then the other two are there and I

267
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,520
will make a concerted effort to touch

268
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,520
base with the

269
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,040
two real estate companies that have

270
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,520
purchased two homes.

271
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,150
Listings.

272
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,400
Make a really good push.

273
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,390
I'm saying so.

274
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,120
Make a motion to make payment contingent

275
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,360
upon the grass seeding.

276
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,120
Commissioner Pierce.

277
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,800

282
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,360

>> Aye.

289
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,480

00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,040
>> Aye.

291
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:36,680
>> Present vote.

292
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:37,120
>> Aye.

293
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,040
>> Vote here.

294
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,400
That's the end of the

295
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,040
>> for the Jobs Development Authority. I

296
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,320
will now close that meeting and open up

297
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,520
the City Commission agenda.

298
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,280
And approval of the minutes of June 1st,

299
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,960
2026.

300
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,110
Commissioner Pierce.

301
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,270
» I'll second it. Motion carried.

302
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,240

303
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,000
No further discussion, all in favor say

"Aye".

305
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:04,960
>> Aye.

306
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,640
>> Those same sign.

307
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Motion carried.

308
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Nothing under awards proclamation. No

309
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,640
nothing under public hearing.

310
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,120
Nothing under bids, opening names, no

311
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,017
visitors or delegations.

312
00:10:17,017 --> 00:10:17,040
>> [laughter]

313
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,040
>> Commissioner portfolio, we'll go with

314
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,360
Commissioner Pierce.

315
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,560
>> Chief Miller, what do you have?

316
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,680
>> Uh we'll be submitting our AFT grant

317
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:26,360
later this week. [clears throat] We have

318
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,920
six different departments involved in

319
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,960
that, so I just got to do a little more

320
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,280
data collection for them and then we

321
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,760
should be able to get it sent off.

322
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,960
Monday's the deadline for that.

323
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,000
Uh

324
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,360
we're getting everything ready for the

325
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,760
parade on the 4th. We'll have the parade

326
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,640
staging and route posted on our Facebook

327
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,120
page hopefully this week.

328
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,920
And then uh we're just working through

329
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,160
our annual budget and then 204 is back

330
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,590
in service.

331
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,560
» Um for shade tree,

332
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:56,972
um

333
00:10:56,972 --> 00:10:57,120
>> [clears throat]

334
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,600
>> Mike's Mike was out working with with 20

335
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,720
trees. Did

336
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,240
you get all 20 done?

337
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,839
>> Yeah, the street the public works

338
00:11:03,839 --> 00:11:04,960
department was helping us.

339
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,000
>> We got the 20 trees planted north of

340
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,839
10th Street along the bike path there

341
00:11:08,839 --> 00:11:11,000
between 8th Avenue and 10th Avenue.

342
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,680
And then they're just they started this

343
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,080
morning uh

344
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,480
planting on 5th Avenue.

345
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,520
Going north of the city offices and then

346
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,720
plan on 29 trees on this one.

347
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,240
>> Yeah, it's about 25 trees in that area

348
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,920
from city office going north to 10th

349
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,560
Street. We'll start some

350
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:28,240
uh boulevard there. They were marked

351
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,320
today. Hopefully get those planted in

352
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,680
the morning.

353
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:34,240
And then we'll continue at 6th Avenue.

354
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,560
Basically, there's an area that's been

355
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:37,320
identified through the Street Tree

356
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,680
Committee

357
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:42,240
going north of 7th Street and between

358
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,960
5th Avenue and 8th Avenue in that

359
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,120
vicinity. That's kind of zone one for us

360
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,320
for planting

361
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,400
because we're responsible for a 3-year

362
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,120
maintenance period. I'll make sure that

363
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,120
the trees that we're putting in the

364
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,640
ground are successful. So, we're going

365
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,280
by location and then

366
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,640
um other locations and such so that when

367
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,520
we're watering, we can't water three

368
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,480
trees here and four trees over there and

369
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,960
six trees there. We have to be in a

370
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,920
central location. Get those established,

371
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,960
those trees established with watering,

372
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,960
and then we'll move on to the next zone.

373
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,840
And in the subsequent years, the

374
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,320
watering of those first-year trees are

375
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,960
going to be a little bit less. First

376
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:19,920
year, you have to put a little more

377
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,080
effort in.

378
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,080
So, that's the process that we're

379
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,360
working through through the Street Tree

380
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,560
Committee.

381
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:28,480
>> The uh the first 20 were quaking aspens.

382
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,520
The next section here, um there's

383
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,600
a variety of different ones

384
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,600
and [clears throat]

385
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,760
some lindens, sugar maples,

386
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,829
elm, prairie expedition elms.

387
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:45,880
So, there's there's a there's different

388
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,560
trees going in different locations so

389
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:52,230
wider canopy.

390
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,320
So, we have that. Anything else you'd

391
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:55,960
like to

392
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,360
>> In total, phase one will have 100 trees

393
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,480
planted. And we're waiting on a

394
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,640
grant.

395
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,160
Should hear sometime

396
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,320
middle [clears throat] of this month or

397
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,360
at least this month for the cash for

398
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,839
another 100 trees.

399
00:13:08,839 --> 00:13:11,120
See what takes us.

400
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Trees have been identified for suitable

401
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,320
planting locations. So, there's many, trees where we have areas within

402
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,440
the boulevard where a tree can go.

403
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,880
It's just a process of working through.

404
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,600
>> And those elms are um

405
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,600
resistant to the Dutch elm

406
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,400
So, folks know if they see Elm Street

407
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,830
going in there

408
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,480
Uh

409
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,800
coming up Wednesday, we have the LEC

410
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:36,880
meeting.

411
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,270
Um

412
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,280
I believe that was the only other item

413
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,840
there.

414
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,480
Any questions for me?

415
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,440
>> No. Commissioner Whitley?

416
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,320
>> Thanks. Great.

417
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,080
>> Uh a couple things with streets. Uh

418
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,120
spraying of mosquitoes.

419
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,600
>> Last year, the commission voted to not

420
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,280
aerial spray over the 4th of July.

421
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,480
And ground spray increased ground spray

422
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,600
efforts instead if counts warrant that

423
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,760
if our mosquito counts are up.

424
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,560
It costs about $9,000 to aerial spray.

425
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:12,600
There's some question about the

426
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,680
effectiveness of aerial spray. I mean,

427
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:16,800
everybody has an opinion. If you don't

428
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,440
spray, there's too many mosquitoes. If

429
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,600
you spray, you're wasting your money.

430
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,800
Last uh year, the commission voted

431
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,800
to not aerial spray. So, I bring that

432
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,240
forward to the commission because this

433
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,840
will be our last meeting prior to the

434
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,320
4th of July. 4th of July is on a

435
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,680
Saturday this year. If we were going to

436
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,320
aerial spray, we would be spraying

437
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,600
midweek that week with with the

438
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,200
alternate day of

439
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,320
you know, that's very safe something

440
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,640
like that.

441
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Open that up for discussion for the

442
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,000
commission.

443
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,200
Uh they want the public works director

444
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,920
and the commissioner holding up the

445
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,720
order to make a decision

446
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,080
based on counts and what's available at

447
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,720
that time. We can do that for the

448
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,960
commission. What do you say?

449
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,640
>> Do we have any counts yet?

450
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,600
>> We do. We have four

451
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920
um electronic traps set up.

452
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,200
And

453
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,800
they fluctuated, but for the most part,

454
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,400
I think they're pretty low.

455
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,000
We did spray a week ago last Friday cuz

456
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,630
the counts were up a little bit on that.

457
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,200
We'll be putting up four manual [snorts]

458
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,440
traps in the near future. They're

459
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,310
available. Four electronic traps set

460
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,240
So, the overall

461
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:25,720
>> and just

462
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,800
>> Yeah, I mean I guess

463
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,600
>> Personally I don't see the movement

464
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,240
>> by the uh

465
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,720
>> commissioner or portfolio

466
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,200
>> Yeah.

467
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,240
>> holder and

468
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:34,800
>> And then

469
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,240
>> I don't care who's given the okay to

470
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,160
that portfolio holder and to like to

471
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,880
like that decision based on accounts.

472
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,800
>> Um

473
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,865
>> Just because I personally I

474
00:15:43,865 --> 00:15:44,160
>> [snorts]

475
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,160
>> I haven't seen a lot

476
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,200
>> No, I haven't either.

477
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,360
>> You never know if they'll change.

478
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,200
>> Yeah, exactly.

479
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,080
>> It happened in a week.

480
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,480
>> Give me an idea in anything. So I think

481
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,000
at that time depending on how long it

482
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:54,800
actually takes.

483
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,000
>> You want to help me build it or do you

484
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:56,360
want to just

485
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,830
>> Right.

486
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,200
Yeah, we need to go out and do

487
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,800
>> Yeah, we need to

488
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,160
approve it.

489
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,400
>> I'll make a motion to uh give the

490
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,800
portfolio holder and and uh

491
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,480
Mike Glasgow the uh the okay to approve

492
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,440
spraying based on

493
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,000
uh

494
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,760
trap counts.

495
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,760
>> Okay.

496
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,080
Do we have a motion?

497
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,870
>> I'll second. Mike Ryan Adams.

498
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,710
» Any further discussion?

499
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,480
If not, all in favor say I.

500
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,200
>> I. [clears throat]

501
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,760
>> Opposed, same sign.

502
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,720
>> Motion carries.

503
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,640
>> Our street [clears throat] department

504
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,040
crew has become uh part of the shade

505
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,240
tree crew as well. So as you see trees

506
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,400
getting planted, that's uh part of the

507
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,280
public ways and street department. But

508
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,800
they're still out there some striping

509
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,320
that has uh

510
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,320
being completed yet. They're still uh we're patching and trying to finish

511
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,839
that up.

512
00:16:48,839 --> 00:16:50,040
And uh striping work

513
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,040
>> And

514
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,200
>> on the drive depending on the weather

515
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,800
should be completed by this week.

516
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,280
That's why after streets and striping

517
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:07,350
there we're patching.

518
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,360
» Sanitary wise, anything

519
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:12,189
we need to know?

520
00:17:12,199 --> 00:17:17,230
» Uh nothing with the sanitary.

521
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,400
» We talked about the mosquitoes, so

522
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,461
I'm good.

523
00:17:21,461 --> 00:17:22,959
>> [laughter]

524
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:24,360
>> Those darn mosquitoes, you know?

525
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:25,720
>> I know.

526
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,240
>> You know what you know.

527
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,760
>> I know.

528
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Jeez.

529
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,640
>> That decision will have to be made this

530
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,840
week prior to you know you can't call

531
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,840
and say I want you to get tonight.

532
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,480
So we'll have to have a conversation see

533
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,760
what trends are doing now.

534
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,150
>> They dry. Yes.

535
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,080
» Like at what point at what point like

536
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,520
for mosquito count do you suggest

537
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,790
an aerial spray?

538
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,832
» There's one in my garage.

539
00:17:56,832 --> 00:17:59,350
>> [laughter]

540
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:00,280
» You're going to have to get the bugs out

541
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,800
of there.

542
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,600
>> What I've seen based on what we

543
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,160
how we've improved our ground spray, I

544
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,520
think ground spraying is more effective

545
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,080
than aerial spraying.

546
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,080
Uh we can get three to four ground

547
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,840
sprays completed for the price of one

548
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,520
aerial spray.

549
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,120
>> Do we have two units ground spraying

550
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:20,760
right now or just the one?

551
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,760
>> I'm sorry.

552
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,840
>> Two units ground spraying or one?

553
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,760
>> Three main three.

554
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,600
>> Oh, wow.

555
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,360
>> Yeah, good.

556
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:28,280
>> So the idea is we're trying to put all

557
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,080
our science to it. Right? It used to be

558
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,320
you just you went out, you started with

559
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,520
one unit, you started at dusk 9:00 and

560
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,760
then you weren't finished until 3:00.

561
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,040
There aren't a lot of mosquitoes flying

562
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,800
around uh at 2:00 in the morning.

563
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,880
>> 3:00 in the morning.

564
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,720
>> And so based on the electronic traps,

565
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,920
you're trying to spray cuz it's contact

566
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,040
spray when the mosquitoes are active.

567
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,120
when they're

568
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,880
getting caught in the trap.

569
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,000
And so we're trying to use that as gauge

570
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,400
for when we're out with our units and

571
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,720
then we're trying to put on the full

572
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,280
board press when the activity is

573
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,720
happening. Right? So we sent three units

574
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,920
out and we're doing

575
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,920
>> Kim

576
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,320
I just had a question why we don't do

577
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,680
the alleys.

578
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,400
Don't Most people are sitting in their

579
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,800
backyards.

580
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,280
You know, and that's where, you know,

581
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,800
the the bushes and stuff are more in the

582
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,320
back than on the streets. And the

583
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,360
streets got this I know it's supposed to

584
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,920
drift and kind of take in that, but

585
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,160
wouldn't you think it'd be more,

586
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,000
especially the ones that have alleys,

587
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,800
more effective?

588
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,640
>> I have a question. Or is this for you?

589
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,533
>> No, I mean,

590
00:19:28,533 --> 00:19:28,640
>> [laughter]

591
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,520
>> I've had that asked of me why they they

592
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,600
used to do alleys.

593
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,200
>> So, we fluctuate between the you know,

594
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,520
we play the wind a little bit, right?

595
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,600
Yes, it is. It has to be less than 10

596
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,360
mph, man. And

597
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:41,920
sometimes we're driving on the avenue,

598
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,800
sometimes we're driving on the street.

599
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,680
There are cases where you can go in an

600
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,240
alley, but uh not sure if the alley has

601
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,360
a a very tight tree canopy. It's gotten

602
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:52,320
a lot better now cuz we with crew shade

603
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,040
tree we we did a lot of trimming in the

604
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,040
alleys. But when there's a canopy,

605
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,400
there's a structure, there's something

606
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,440
there,

607
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,120
that contact spray hits that and it

608
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:02,840
doesn't drift.

609
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,440
So, you're looking at that mist that

610
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,280
gets airborne. And you know, when you

611
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,680
look, the particle size you're trying to

612
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,360
get that bubble to float, that mist, and

613
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:15,640
then it covers a very large area. But

614
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,960
when you're going down an alley and it

615
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,120
happens to hit a structure or a leaf, a

616
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:21,880
tree, it doesn't get that same effect.

617
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Not saying that we can't go down some

618
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,240
alleys. There are some alleys that they

619
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,440
would be effective.

620
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:27,760
>> Okay.

621
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,640
>> And you're trying to put out so much uh

622
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,440
so many pounds of chemical per acre.

623
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:37,830
That's the whole goal of that.

624
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,590
» Good.

625
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,960
» Bush spray update.

626
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,360
>> Dominic.

627
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:52,080
>> Um boardings are up. We did 1,102

628
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,240
uh passengers for the month of May,

629
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,600
um which is a record, which was

630
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,080
I believe it was 29.9%

631
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,040
increase from last year.

632
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Um

633
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,600
we just finally got awarded our FAA

634
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,920
grant for our runway improvement

635
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,800
project. So, we'll be moving forward

636
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,440
with that in the spring or sorry, fall

637
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,840
of 2020.

638
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,280
Other than that, we've got our land

639
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,120
inside.

640
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:17,480
>> Can you elaborate?

641
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,800
>> Yeah, I think what you contributed to

642
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,680
the contributing factor is why we keep

643
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,720
great numbers.

644
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,640
>> Um I think with the new terminal, that's

645
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,000
a that's a big thing. Word of mouth of

646
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,760
the new terminal coming around is now

647
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,329
great space.

648
00:21:32,329 --> 00:21:32,400
>> [snorts]

649
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,120
>> Um digital advertising, there is a

650
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:36,440
little bit to show that when we started

651
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,320
our digital advertising in the Grand

652
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,480
Forks and Minot area, our numbers all of

653
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,120
a sudden started picking up. Uh another

654
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,560
um it's just convenience uh

655
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,080
with uh

656
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,560
with everything going on and then the

657
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,400
Jamestown Lake after the removal of the

658
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Jamestown Lake, we've seen a huge spike

659
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,600
of numbers as well.

660
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,280
>> Three parking.

661
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,760
>> Have they ever considered a Minneapolis

662
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,360
flight?

663
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:06,830
>> Um

664
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,200
I believe they there's been talks about

665
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,760
it, but I

666
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,160
from what I know of the with our

667
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,160
contract, we currently just have Denver.

668
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:15,600
>> Right.

669
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,000
>> Um

670
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,600
and that's probably what it's looking

671
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,040
like with what SkyWest is going to offer

672
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:27,030
as a Denver flight.

673
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:34,190
» There's been talks in the past about it.

674
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,510
» It's up to the airport.

675
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,560
» Anything else?

676
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,760
>> That's it unless we have any more

677
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,790
questions for me.

678
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,520
» Mike.

679
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,840
>> Sanitation.

680
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,200
>> Last week was structural pickup.

681
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,840
Uh this week

682
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,120
um

683
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:52,840
and

684
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,320
working on a request for proposals for

685
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,760
the automated truck garbage cans or

686
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,040
totes.

687
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,360
Uh

688
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,200
if you look next door, we had made a

689
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,240
request it's it's really four major coke

690
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,480
manufacturers for the cities in North

691
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,320
Dakota. You go to most cities, it's

692
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,760
either this manufacturer or that one.

693
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,960
It's four.

694
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,600
And we made a request to have sample

695
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,920
carts delivered from those four

696
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,520
manufacturers. So, you can

697
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,520
feel the can, flip the lid, kick the

698
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,120
tires, that sort of thing, as well as

699
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,360
look at the specifications through the

700
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:25,760
RFP.

701
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,240
We will be working through that process.

702
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,560
So, I would hope that I would uh

703
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,640
bring something forward uh

704
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,440
for the request for proposals

705
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,440
in July. And then we'll start that

706
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,400
process. Right now, we're looking at the

707
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,560
receiving the automated truck in that

708
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,640
October-November timeframe.

709
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,320
And we're hoping to pick possession of

710
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,000
the cans in October or July of that.

711
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
So, that means you have that in place.

712
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,760
Use the rear load trucks with tippers

713
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,160
to pick that up. So, it'd be a sort of

714
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,840
an orientation for city residents.

715
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,520
Here's where the can needs to go. So,

716
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,120
our crews would come to the can, and the

717
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:03,400
can goes back where it needs to go.

718
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,760
Those in the wrong location, we'll put

719
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,760
it where it needs to go. So, it'd be

720
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,320
kind of an education tool for us uh for

721
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,320
the public.

722
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,000
Um so, we're working on that with uh

723
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,680
sanitation. We'll have that all wrapped

724
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,030
up in the very near future.

725
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,480
» How do those How do those cans get get

726
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,280
to residents? Or is this the city

727
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,840
dropping Is sanitation dropping them

728
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,560
off?

729
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,760
Or are residents picking them up?

730
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,160
>> Um

731
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,600
it would be part of the the request for

732
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,640
proposals, where we would have the

733
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,160
vendor, whoever we're buying it from,

734
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,760
we would uh work with them to have a

735
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,280
database set up.

736
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,007
And [cough] they would place

737
00:24:39,007 --> 00:24:40,840
[clears throat] the can, that can, with

738
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,720
this uh number. We're looking at doing

739
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,440
some RFID technology, where there's some

740
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,680
radio technology, where that the

741
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,240
automated truck can actually communicate

742
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,360
with the can. Tell you when it's going

743
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,280
to be when it was dumped.

744
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,520
You can get as high-tech as you want um

745
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,240
with that. But, then

746
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,080
uh with the number and with the RF ID

747
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,680
technology you'll be able to track where

748
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,120
the cans are placed and addresses.

749
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:06,200
Go a lot easier if the vendor did that.

750
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,120
So, they come off the semi

751
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:09,080
right in here

752
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,280
that's [clears throat] kind of thing.

753
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,270
That's what we're looking at.

754
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,440
» Go down the alley. You got my garbage

755
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,990
can.

756
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,230
We can track it.

757
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,360
Have you decided what size we're going

758
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:24,440
with?

759
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,000
>> Well, that'll be part of the

760
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,680
conversation. Realistically, there's two

761
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,520
different sizes that we'd be looking at.

762
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,360
There's multiple sizes, but two sizes

763
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:33,800
that we'd be looking at.

764
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,120
Um like a 65 gallon can and a 95 gallon

765
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:38,040
can.

766
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,480
Most communities

767
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,960
some started out offering three

768
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,440
different sizes.

769
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,000
If you talk to public works directors,

770
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,280
they'll all say

771
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,120
their recommendation would go would be

772
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:50,240
go with one size can.

773
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,840
It makes it very easy and the larger

774
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,080
cans are more stable.

775
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,280
But, we're as far as the sample price we

776
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,520
requested a 65 and 95. We'll go through

777
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,840
a process [laughter]

778
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,880
when we're doing the budget analysis and

779
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,680
rates and fees.

780
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,400
The purchase price of the can

781
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,960
really

782
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,520
there isn't much price difference in

783
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,400
buying the can and purchasing the can

784
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,520
between a 95 and a 65.

785
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,400
So, then we have to look at what would

786
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,040
be the monthly cost difference to a

787
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,560
uh homeowner

788
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,880
with 65 gallon can and a 95 gallon can.

789
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,840
And what what is that difference? So,

790
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,120
we're going to go through that process

791
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:33,590
and then ultimately make a decision on

792
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,640
You have to be part of the RFP.

793
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,800
Whether we're ordering roughly 2,000

794
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,480
cans

795
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,920
uh all 95 or if it's going to be 1,000

796
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,880
95 gallon cans and 1,000 65 gallon cans

797
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,910
or different amounts.

798
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,040
It's kind of a one 165 gallon can is not

799
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,200
the equivalent of two 32-gallon cans.

800
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,120
You can't get the same You can't just

801
00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:57,680
They don't stack in there perfect. It's

802
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,920
not the equivalent of the weight of the

803
00:26:58,920 --> 00:26:59,680
weight.

804
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,040
So,

805
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,080
the cans are smaller than you think when

806
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,040
you order them.

807
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,400
>> What about the blue bags? Are we going

808
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,960
to still have that option or

809
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,120
What about overflow when somebody has a

810
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:14,600
special event at their place and they

811
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,000
have more garbage than a 95 or a 96?

812
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,320
>> I'm sorry to interrupt you, but this

813
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,160
topic up.

814
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,280
>> Well, [laughter]

815
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,640
that's a question that's been asked,

816
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,120
I mean I

817
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:25,440
>> There's a lot of things that have to be

818
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,600
worked through as we go along. I mean

819
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,840
There There's a lot of blue bags that

820
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,920
will be remaining. No doubt we'll have

821
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,360
to have room for special pickups. We'll

822
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:35,520
have to have room for those that have

823
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,440
currently have blue bags

824
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,800
use those blue bags because they

825
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,840
purchased those blue bags. So, that's

826
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,680
part of the conversation that

827
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,400
Corey and I have been having and

828
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,160
probably part of that as well. So, we'll

829
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,720
work through all of those details and

830
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,640
have them laid out as we go through this

831
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,960
process.

832
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,920
>> Like Christmas time, special occasions,

833
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,800
you know, a lot of times you

834
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,600
blue bags are available to

835
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,760
for the extras.

836
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,360
>> And this is not something that hasn't

837
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:04,640
been done before. Many communities in

838
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,564
the state have done it.

839
00:28:10,574 --> 00:28:11,840
» [clears throat]

840
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,440
>> All your ideas have been part of the

841
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,710
conversation

842
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,240
» But that's Those are questions I think

843
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,360
you need to

844
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:21,640
>> So, you're thinking cans for residents

845
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,320
are going to be around that

846
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,040
September-ish,

847
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,920
October-ish?

848
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,880
>> That would be a September, August,

849
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,680
September time frame.

850
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,879
>> Okay.

851
00:28:30,879 --> 00:28:31,240
>> [snorts]

852
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,920
>> If we uh

853
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,360
issue the request for proposals, we'd

854
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:36,840
have a committee that would review the

855
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,840
proposals received.

856
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,480
Uh cost is only one factor when we do

857
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,560
the request for proposals. It's quality,

858
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,640
it's warranty, it's service after the

859
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,160
sale, all these other things that we

860
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,640
listen in the

861
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,760
R and P.

862
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,080
And so possession I would expect to be

863
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:56,630
in that same number.

864
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,320
» Okay, that's all I have for

865
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,960
presentation.

866
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,320
>> What about engineering?

867
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:00,960
>> Uh

868
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,200
engineering I had one item.

869
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,040
Um

870
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,360
So the the city allows hunting on city

871
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,280
owned property.

872
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,560
Um

873
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,360
and we do that through a permit process.

874
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,920
So we have to come into the city to get

875
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,280
a permit.

876
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,800
In order to improve that a little bit,

877
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,680
uh would ask that commission to grant

878
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,280
authority to the city engineer to

879
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,360
um

880
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,560
publicly post the city land on

881
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,800
the Game and Fish Department's website.

882
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,600
Some if it's not posted, people don't

883
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,320
know that they need a permit.

884
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,240
And last year we had encountered a

885
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,400
couple of problems where there were

886
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,680
different people in that one area.

887
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,280
Uh

888
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,160
to me it's if it's publicly owned land,

889
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,040
it should be open for public hunting so

890
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,320
long as they have a permit, are adhering

891
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,920
to the rules, regulations, requirements

892
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,360
that we have, and everything is safe.

893
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,920
So the Game and Fish Department has we

894
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,120
can go on the website and we can

895
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,840
electronically post [snorts]

896
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,040
the land.

897
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,320
And then as part of that electronic

898
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,880
post, it'll list that you need a permit.

899
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,200
Um get a permit.

900
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,640
That's what we were dealing with. We had

901
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,360
a case down at our well field that we

902
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,080
had somebody somebody was hunting on our

903
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,360
property. We didn't know who it was.

904
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,760
They were seeing through our fence and

905
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,480
doing some things that

906
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,270
might be going on.

907
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,240
We won't electronically post the on the

908
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,120
cooling site the city commission to

909
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,880
grant the authority to the

910
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,080
um to use as a private program.

911
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,800
And we

912
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,160
tried to work through Game and Fish and

913
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,800
how we could electronically post it that

914
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,320
it's only open to youth hunting.

915
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,400
But that's when it would be signed

916
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,200
separately. And the

917
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,920
Game and Fish and Sportsman's

918
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,880
would have to sign for that post. So I

919
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,440
think that's it.

920
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,280
So with that authority on this one line,

921
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,560
it says

922
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,320
our property in-house won't change.

923
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:48,440
I don't think

924
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:54,350
people understand that it's supposed to.

925
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,880
I'll make a motion to to allow Mike to

926
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,160
close [snorts] that game officially, I

927
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:58,640
guess.

928
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,560
>> Yeah, Commissioner Johnson.

929
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,280
>> Second.

930
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,841
>> Commissioner [laughter] you have it.

931

to allow me to come in to take a look at

952
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,520

953
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,320

00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,159
Currently working on a set of ordinances

1032
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:11,639
just for tobacco compliance.

1033
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:14,320
The aim is to ensure that any retail

1034
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,000
that sells tobacco is not selling to

1035
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,440
minors. Um

1036
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,800
I think this is somewhat comparable to

1037
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,200
alcohol violations where the establishment is held liable for any

1038
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,320
violations.

1039
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,080

next city commission meeting.

1042
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,120
That's all I have unless there's

1043
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,080
Any questions?

1044
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,480

00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,270
as possible.

1118
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,560
» Okay.

1119
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,240
Appreciate [clears throat] that.

1120
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,400
>> And then I just thought to for these

1121
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,520
shade tree these trees had had the

1122
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,240
letters gone out to so they're aware

1123
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:06,360
that you're going to come in around

1124
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,560
planting trees in the property. Did you

1125
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,400
have anybody who stopped

1126
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,720
this last go around and say, "Hey, what are you doing?"

1127
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:15,480
>> Uh we did receive one letter

1128
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,920
somebody did not want a tree in their

1129
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,560
boulevard.

1130
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,280
Now, is there a house that may slip

1131
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,880
through the cracks that did not receive

1132
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,320
a letter and then you have a renter, but

1133
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,080
yes, we sent

1134
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,520
making it 60-some letters in the area.

1135
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:30,720
>> I was just wondering if any if you

1136
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:32,360
really had any

1137
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,120
Irate people ask you,

1138
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,200
"What are you doing here and what is

1139
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,280
this you're doing?"

1140
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,240
>> It was purely

1141
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:37,680
>> quiet.

1142
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,760
>> Good.

1143
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,880
>> We'll find out tomorrow morning.

1144
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:40,431
>> Yes.

1145
00:37:40,431 --> 00:37:41,280
>> [laughter]

1146
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,840
>> When you're out there spinning and trees

1147
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,200
are going in your McDonald's and

1148
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,160
>> Yeah. [clears throat] Yeah. But the

1149
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,440
first go around [snorts]

1150
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,440
Thank you. That's all I had on this

1151
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,280
project.

1152
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,680
>> I just wanted to report that I attended

1153
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,160
the event uh

1154
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,440
on uh

1155
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,200
Friday for the L2 uh

1156
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,920
it's ribbon cutting. That was a great great attendance for that and uh

1157
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:03,680
it was

1158
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,680
uh Senator Holmberg was here and said a

1159
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,120
few words of

1160
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,400
you know, support and so

1161
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,680
we are on our way with a wonderful

1162
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,760
health care facility

1163
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,800
joint uh built or medical campus. So,

1164
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,520
I'm pretty excited. I think it's going

1165
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,080
to be great for the the community. So, I

1166
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,040
uh

1167
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,560
that was a wonderful event to be part

1168
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,320
of.

1169
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,640
A long 4-year process to get that

1170
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,680
accomplished, but

1171
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,880
good things come when you stay dedicated

1172
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,600
to it.

1173
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,720
And uh with that, uh anything else under

1174
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:36,680
portfolios? If not,

1175
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,400
we'll move on.

1176
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:46,230
Old business, we have nothing.

1177
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:47,480
Like you said, the second agenda,

1178
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,440
nothing.

1179
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,920
New business, okay. Appointment of

1180
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,800
Robert Johnson as interim city

1181
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,640
auditor/assessor

1182
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,720
effective June 22nd, 2026.

1183
00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:00,760
Okay.

1184
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:01,880
Spencer has

1185
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:02,920
>> Mayor and members of the commission,

1186
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,880
this is uh before us now for your

1187
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,880
consideration that

1188
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,600
I don't know why what you [snorts] guys

1189
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,640
had communicated your intent

1190
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,120
uh to appoint Rob as the interim

1191
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,120
uh

1192
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,080
auditor/assessor.

1193
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,830
So, uh

1194
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,760
as part of this we had uh agreed step

1195
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,880
adjustments. So, currently he's at a a

1196
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,000
15I, and then come July 1st he'll be at

1197
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,760
a 15J. Uh did you have a follow-up with

1198
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,680
the possible performance review?

1199
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,760
Um so, basically with the thought of

1200
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,560
just pretending that he's at a 15J right

1201
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,680
now, and just you know, let's say he was

1202
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:36,720
at a 15J,

1203
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:40,600
18J usually uh when you

1204
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,320
either on an interim role or on a

1205
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,200
full-time role, if you're an existing

1206
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,440
employee, you usually go up a grade and

1207
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,880
back a step for each uh level of

1208
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,120
succession. So, the auditor is grade 18,

1209
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,240
and say assessor is grade 15. And so, if

1210
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:55,680
you just go with that K and step on the

1211
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,960
back, on the back, on the back, uh they

1212
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:58,640
would

1213
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,840
recommend an 18G

1214
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:01,600
uh

1215
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,640
effective uh June 22nd.

1216
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,120
And then this would count as a step

1217
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,160
increase for the year, and you'd be

1218
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,680
ineligible for step the rest of the

1219
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,680
year. If at the end of the interim

1220
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,080
employment you guys decided that uh

1221
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,720
you would like to remain with just the

1222
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:17,440
city assessor, and Rob you continue to

1223
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,120
do that, then you would go back to a 15

1224
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,470
chain.

1225
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,200
And then

1226
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:24,600
I just got to put language in there that

1227
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,520
it's your intent that to have a similar

1228
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:27,840
appointment through the life cycle,

1229
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,680
which is in mid-October. Obviously, you

1230
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:30,640
guys reserve

1231
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,560
the right to address the appointment of

1232
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,000
any at any point, but then you would

1233
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,800
make an intentional

1234
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,440
decision to revisit the matter uh second

1235
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,400
meeting in October.

1236
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,040
And then the last one was as there's in

1237
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,400
the city policy manual, there's a few

1238
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,440
instances where like specifically refers

1239
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,560
to the city administrator shall you

1240
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,880
know, since you don't really have one,

1241
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,800
and so then the recommendation would be

1242
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:53,800
just to

1243
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,200
bestow

1244
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,560
the interim city auditor/assessor that

1245
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:58,760
authority

1246
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,960
where it says like the city

1247
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:01,240
administrator shall, which is like

1248
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:02,720
placing employees on administrative

1249
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:04,880
leave. Uh um

1250
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,720
What's the other one? Uh

1251
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:07,880
sick leave, approving sick leave

1252
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,280
donations. And I think with the full

1253
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,480
mutual understanding that if one of

1254
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,560
those instances came up then

1255
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,800
Rob would talk to the mayor. Talk to you

1256
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:16,920
know, the commission portfolio. He

1257
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,520
wouldn't make a decision like that in

1258
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,280
the dark without consulting

1259
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,400
uh the mayor portfolio holder.

1260
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,280
Um but instead of

1261
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,200
rewriting the policy manual and possibly

1262
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,240
putting it all back, then just bestowing

1263
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:30,280
the authority for the time being

1264
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,920
um with the expectation that you'd be a

1265
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,070
good communicator on those matters.

1266
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,760
But that is the recommendation before

1267
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,960
you, and uh

1268
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,800
I can tell you just working with Rob

1269
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,200
here every day, I know I have absolute

1270
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,600
full confidence that he'll do a good job

1271
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,633
for you guys.

1272
00:41:50,643 --> 00:41:51,360
» [clears throat]

1273
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,270
>> Questions?

1274
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,280
» He was at the airport authority board

1275
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,720
meeting today, and he did a good job

1276
00:41:57,720 --> 00:42:00,000
there.

1277
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,400
>> So, did we talk ever talk to Tanya

1278
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:02,960
before?

1279
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,600
>> Yes, she she yeah, we talked about it.

1280
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,440
>> Is there any requirement for us to send

1281
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,040
out as a

1282
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,240
Let's say we wanted to do a full-time

1283
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:14,520
position, right? We're hiring

1284
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:15,600
to make a full-time.

1285
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,440
full time and if you know what I mean,

1286
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,440
you have to put that out to the public.

1287
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,760
>> So, number one on an interim basis, she

1288
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,600
thinks that this is a good

1289
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:24,560
um

1290
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:25,960
purpose for an interim having this

1291
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,320
budget cycle so you're having four

1292
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,920
months to work that you can

1293
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,760
as far as succession in this position.

1294
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,120
So, the interim basis is a good time

1295
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,400
period for the purpose. She did say it

1296
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,560
would be back best practice

1297
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,840
um to advertise a minimum for two weeks.

1298
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,160
Let's just say all of a sudden, you

1299
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,880
know, Rob is the city auditor and he

1300
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,080
says, "You say we want to make this a

1301
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,560
full time thing."

1302
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,200
Um then you should advertise it for two

1303
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,640
weeks.

1304
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,040
But she uh she's going to be here

1305
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,240
throughout the budget process. You can

1306
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:54,560
ask these questions directly. But just

1307
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,000
in in our conversations you know, in the

1308
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,200
office, she said she would recommend

1309
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,160
doing.

1310
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:07,870
Um and especially if you want

1311
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,680
And so, and if you you know, end up

1312
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,160
wanting to go back to the city manager

1313
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,400
role um you would definitely advertise

1314
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,440
that role.

1315
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,360
>> Talked about that too. Those are things

1316
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,520
that we're doing.

1317
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,640
But I think for the time being for this

1318
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,954
interim

1319
00:43:24,964 --> 00:43:26,520
» [clears throat]

1320
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,880
>> My question is the salary.

1321
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:30,480
>> Yeah.

1322
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,760
>> It's a pretty big

1323
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,040
difference between the two.

1324
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,320
>> Yeah. Um

1325
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,120
but again, it's the up and back up and back again.

1326
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,000
And I did ask Tony about that. She said

1327
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,000
the standard protocol. And I would also

1328
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,920
think about this way. So, there's about

1329
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,520
a $12,000

1330
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,760
difference between the career step that

1331
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,040
he's at currently and the career step

1332
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,720
he's at now.

1333
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:54,920
It's going to be for a four-month

1334
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,920
period, right? So, 12 / 12, so that's

1335
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,800
like the extra $1,000

1336
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,600
So, don't So, for all the work you'll be

1337
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,000
doing, you'll get an extra $4,000.

1338
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,510
Okay.

1339
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,560
Plus oh, plus um

1340
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,040
plus the city auditor position receives um

1341
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,990
added to the salary.

1342
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,640
» Yeah, specifically that he's actually

1343
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,360
going to be doing both jobs at the same

1344
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:22,920
time.

1345
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:23,920
It should be

1346
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,720
financially less important to the

1347
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:28,760
>> I have no problem with the uh with doing

1348
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:29,920
that. So, I would make the

lot.

and recommendation.

1466
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,320
And from a staff perspective,

1467
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:24,040
we

1468
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,000
just internally would love to have, you

1469
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,520
know, city's a certified engineer, so

1470
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,560
Mike Brosseau and then the chief of

1471
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,480
police and Jason Toso

1472
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:33,520
uh

1473
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,720
be on that committee. And Mayor, you are

1474
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:38,200
the current police commissioner and the

1475
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,840
mayor, so I can think it'd be fitting

1476
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,480
for you. But at least from a staff

1477
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:42,720
perspective, our request would be that

1478
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:44,200
we could get the chief of police and

1479
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,920
city engineer on that. And then whatever

1480
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:47,840
you guys would like to see as a

1481
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,440
commission, certainly fine.

1482
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,360
>> I did talk to Spencer and I thought that

1483
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:53,840
O'Side

1484
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,160
bright citizen or would be good on

1485
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,363
there. And I talked to Ned

1486
00:48:58,363 --> 00:48:59,120
>> [cough]

1487
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,040
>> since he's just went through some of

1488
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,280
that same process with the schools, I

1489
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,280
think he'd be a good addition to the

1490
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:06,720
selection committee. Basically, what

1491
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:08,360
they're doing is just going to review

1492
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,080
all those plans and reduce it to three

1493
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,000
>> Or is that three then?

1494
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,600
>> Or the one that is single.

1495
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,840
>> Uh no, it would be who we're going to

1496
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,040
interview. There's no hard number for

1497
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,120
that. I think it would be a good number,

1498
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,720
but based on the review of the

1499
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:25,400
proposals, it could be four.

1500
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,800
Um in an ideal world,

1501
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,280
uh as far as the selection committee,

1502
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:31,760
five would be a good number as far as

1503
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,720
I'm concerned, so that you know, you

1504
00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:35,400
don't really want high rankers just

1505
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:36,320
sitting there.

1506
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,800
There'll be eight.

1507
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,120
Um there'll be a lot to read if you're

1508
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,320
reading through their proposals. And

1509
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:43,800
they can't have

1510
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:44,680
uh

1511
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,440
What we're trying to do is identify the

1512
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,960
architect that has the qualifications

1513
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,760
as well as

1514
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,920
who is going to be the best fit for the

1515
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,680
project that we're looking at.

1516
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,120
You know, I think we can look through

1517
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,800
those 10 or 11 proposals, and I don't

1518
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,240
believe that there will be one architect

1519
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:02,680
in there that will be qualified.

1520
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,160
But, some firms that are very good at

1521
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,760
doing $60 million projects, they're good

1522
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,160
at doing $60 million projects. Doesn't

1523
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:11,720
mean that they're necessarily good at

1524
00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:13,840
doing $5 million projects.

1525
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,360
And what we're looking at doing as far

1526
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:17,960
as our police department,

1527
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,960
so you're trying to sort through that.

1528
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,680
Really, you're trying to

1529
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,320
hire in the architect that is going to

1530
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,640
be a partner with you to develop a

1531
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,280
project, a set of plans and

1532
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,040
specifications, and project that's going

1533
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,880
to suit our needs.

1534
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:36,230
And that's the part of that process.

1535
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:37,840
» I'll make a motion.

1536
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,480
>> So, again, staff request would be that

1537
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,720
the chief of police and the city

1538
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:43,800
engineer be on that committee.

1539
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:44,680
Um

1540
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,720
Mayor, do you want to be invited?

1541
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:47,840
>> The mayor wants to be involved so that

1542
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:55,470
we can be there.

1543
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,360
» Um as I said, just if you're looking for

1544
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,480
other staff members, the good candidates

1545
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,400
would be the the police captain or the

1546
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,800
city interim city assessor auditor would

1547
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:05,760
be

1548
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,800
probably good considerations if you're

1549
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,480
looking for other staff members.

1550
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,200
>> And that's all with outside persons on

1551
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,920
the screening team.

1552
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,720
>> And this process is just selecting the

1553
00:51:15,720 --> 00:51:17,480
architectural firm. It is not the design

1554
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:18,040
committee.

1555
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:18,480
>> Right.

1556
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:19,440
>> I'm just saying.

1557
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:20,360
>> Yeah.

1558
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,040
>> That's correct.

1559
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:23,080
>> Did he say

1560
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:24,680
>> Yeah, he did agree that he would do it.

1561
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,000
>> Who was that again?

1562
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,480
>> Yeah, that's the school superintendent.

1563
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,910
>> Okay.

1564
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,110
» Would that be good for us?

1565
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,240
» I'll make a motion to

1566
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:39,480
allow Mayor Fluton,

1567
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,640
police chief,

1568
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:42,800
uh

1569
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,960
interim

1570
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,280
auditor

1571
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:47,520
Johnson,

1572
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:52,110
and Manickam

1573
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,480
» It was my motion.

1574
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:54,400
>> I'll second.

1575
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,750
>> Mr. Nash.

1576
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,800
» Any further discussion?

1577
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,240
All in favor say aye.

1578
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:02,880
>> Aye.

1579
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,640
>> Opposed same sign.

1580
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,320
Motion carries.

1581
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,040
Item five, reappointments to the

1582
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,840
Renaissance Renaissance Zone Authority.

1583
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:13,400
We have three members.

1584
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,720
>> So, we have three members of whom the

1585
00:52:15,720 --> 00:52:18,040
terms are expiring. Uh one of them has

1586
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,520
chosen not to renew their terms, so we

1587
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,240
have a vacancy.

1588
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:22,880
Uh

1589
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,920
but we did have the other two who were

1590
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,440
willing to serve. Uh we have Sherry

1591
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,240
Olson and Sam Schley. Uh to

1592
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:34,400
re- renew their four-year terms. Um we

1593
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,200
have been recruiting uh to try and fill

1594
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,720
that third vacant term. Uh ideally,

1595
00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:40,600
we're looking for someone in the

1596
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,760
downtown business district. Uh because

1597
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:43,960
that's in the heart of our Renaissance

1598
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,200
Zone, so we'd really like to get a

1599
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,920
representative from that area.

1600
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:47,840
We reached out to a couple [snorts]

1601
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,840
people, but we're waiting to hear back.

1602
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,000
Uh or if there's anyone else that's

1603
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,240
interested out there in serving on the

1604
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:54,360
term, please reach out to me but

1605
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,360
we're happy to fill that that third

1606
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:57,520
vacancy.

1607
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,040
>> Did you say we're going to advertise for

1608
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:00,560
some of those positions or something

1609
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:00,880
like that?

1610
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,240
>> We we we we did an advertisement leading

1611
00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:05,600
up into the terms ending just to try and

1612
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,880
generate a list. Uh because we wanted to

1613
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,200
be able to have a list to choose from.

1614
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:10,760
That'd be ideal. We can't just say, "Oh,

1615
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,240
we have a spot open."

1616
00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:14,480
and have five people to call, but uh

1617
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,920
there's no current name on that list, so

1618
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,870
we we are looking to fill that spot.

1619
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,520
» Okay. We have a motion to approve the

1620
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:23,920
two.

1621
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,640
>> I make a motion to approve the two that

1622
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,270
were recommended.

1623
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:29,240
» Second.

1624
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:31,520
>> Mr. Gnowsky seconded by Commissioner

1625
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,710

1626
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:37,280
Any further discussion?

Any further discussion?

>> Remind me again where this work was done

1648
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,510
at.

1649
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:26,760
» Uh

1650
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,840
it was in various areas throughout town.

1651
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,680
Uh much of it was configured over on 9th

1652
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,880

1653
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:39,030

00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:50,240
>> President Mall.

1665
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:50,720
>> Aye.

1666
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:52,440
>> Motion carried.

1667
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,600
Okay, we do have one person wishing to

1668
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,920
speak under citizen comment.

1669
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,600
Lisa, if you would please come forward

1670
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,590
and identify yourself for the record.

1671
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,200
» Hi, Lisa Pagano. Um

1672
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,120
back again since it's budget time trying

1673
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,080
to get at the beginning this year in

1674
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,600
case anybody will

1675
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,240
maybe take it into consideration.

1676
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:17,720
Um asking again this year if we can

1677
00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:19,680
please, you know,

1678
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,000
try to instead of just going with let's

1679
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,560
increase our budget by the allowed 3%

1680
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,360
plus growth.

1681
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,840
Try to hold something flat. I know there

1682
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,480
are um things you can't control. There

1683
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:34,680
are insurance premiums, there are

1684
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,560
pensions, etc.

1685
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,440
But on a lot of could be considered

1686
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,920
making some tough choices, cutting back,

1687
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,080
not increasing everything.

1688
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:45,800
And especially, you know, people come in

1689
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,200
that we give money to. I don't know who

1690
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:49,760
they all are. The only one I know

1691
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,240
there's more than Heritage Center type

1692
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:52,800
things, but instead of letting them come

1693
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,840
in and say, "I did the exact same thing

1694
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,280
as last year, but I increased it 3%."

1695
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,640
Can we push back a little bit? For Rob's

1696
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:00,920
presentation on the board of

1697
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,720
equalization, we are the highest

1698
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:05,960
effective tax rate of the 12 largest

1699
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,200
municipalities

1700
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,320
cities. That's ridiculous.

1701
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:11,920
Let's, you know,

1702
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,320
consider

1703
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,720
cutting back a little bit, not just

1704
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:17,400
bumping everything up, making tough

1705
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,760
choices, and eliminating some things, or

1706
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,760
hold steady on some things, and

1707
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,480
>> One of the things that we are talking

1708
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:25,520
about in what I have brought to

1709
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,920
discussion is to possibly do an audit of

1710
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,560
our efficient efficiency audit.

1711
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,960
See, also, one of the things that I

1712
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,080
promoted when I was running for mayor,

1713
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:37,880
and I do think that the baby is

1714
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,000
something we need to look at,

1715
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,480
and I have somebody come in,

1716
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,880
third-party, review how we're doing

1717
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,920
things, get recommendations maybe what

1718
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,840
we could do better and more efficient.

1719
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,560
So, that that'll be something that we

1720
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,080
are going to look at.

1721
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:53,480
>> Thank you.

1722
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,990
for that.

1723
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,440
Okay.

1724
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:01,840
Uh

1725
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,400
let's see.

1726
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,440
Spencer, thank you for all you've done

1727
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,960
for the city commission for the past 4

1728
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:09,560
and 1/2 years, I believe, or 5 years.

1729
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,800
Close. Close to 5. Yeah, a little over

1730
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,080
4. Thank you, and I wish you nothing but

1731
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,520
the best in your future endeavors.

1732
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:17,800
>> Thank you, Don.

1733
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,444
Back your up.

1734
00:57:19,444 --> 00:57:22,270
>> [laughter]

1735
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,440
» Sorry, Don.

1736
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,040
Want to make sure I got that in, and

1737
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,320
before you take off, I also but it's

1738
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:29,360
been great working with you, and I

1739
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,280
appreciate what you've done.

1740
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:32,760
You were a good right-hand

1741
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,080
>> It It's uh warms my heart that you're

1742
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,129
supportive with everything and

1743
00:57:37,129 --> 00:57:37,160

1744
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,480
>> and everything.

1745
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,070
All the kind words and all that stuff.

1746
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,640
» Okay, informational items. We have the
