00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,800

under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.

8
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,360
» And let's take a few minutes to reflect

things that are happening around the
world

10
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:08,080

11
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,080
that are in harm's way.

12

00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,520
» It's good exercise.

00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:43,040
» By the way, um
we are not live this evening. We're

one from B&B Paving and one from DC
Construction.

38
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:07,360
Uh both companies have bid in the past
here.

39
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:13,120
Uh the first one I have is DC
Construction

40
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,120
in the amount of $321,955.36.

41
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,080
And let's see, the next one is B&B

42
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,239
And that one is in the amount of
$313,800

43
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,560
$313,846.50.

44
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,680
And would recommend that we take these
under advisement.

00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,680
» What was the first one again, please?
>> $321,955.36.

So, they're very comparable.

And that's that's all I have for this
year.

48
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:30,960

» And that's our That's our our total call
breakdown.

85
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:56,919
Um a significant um
significant incident of note was a

86
00:06:52,720 --> 00:07:01,400
structure fire on February 28th of 2026.
Um crew from tanker 99 uh with three on

87
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:06,280
board along with engine two and engine
84 from South Madison responded to a

88
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:10,360
reported residential structure fire.
Incident commander arrived on scene and

89
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:15,440
a scene size-up was completed and the
fire was contained to the HVAC unit in

90
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:22,480
the backyard.
Uh member training and readiness, uh we

91
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:27,600
had a total of 147 hours completed for
uh 25 members. That's an average of 5.9

92
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:31,720
hours.
Um

93
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:37,760
we are compliant with our um emergency
response uh support hours and our fire

94
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:42,000
officer hours. We've also had um
se- several training topics that we've

95
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:46,760
covered, active assailant, operational
scene safety, pediatric overview, and

96
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:51,240
fire dynamics and behavior.
Um Edgewood Fire Department currently

97
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:55,960
has two members in EMT class, which um
that is if y'all are not familiar with

98
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:59,600
the current EMT program, that is a very
rigorous and long program. So, we're

99
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,480
very fortunate to have two folks going
through that now.

100
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:07,920

currently holding um a structural

That's a 40-hour course that begins on
April 3rd of this year. It's a It

103
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:21,120
provides a comprehensive framework that
prepares incident commanders to manage

104
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,480
the first critical moments of a building
fire. So, that's the initial responding

105
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,720
officer.
Um

106
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:31,960

life safety, incident stabilization, and

00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:36,080
property conservation.

00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,200
» I'm going to deviate um

129
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:14,960
from our printed agenda this evening
because we have a special guest joining

130
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:19,800
us to this this evening. Um Mr. Kyle
Pierce is our state state representative

131
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,520
and so
with with that, Mr. Pierce, um

132
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:26,160
we'll give you an opportunity to to
address us.

133
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,320
» I'll be real brief. Thank you for that,
Arthur. I appreciate that. You know, I I

134
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,680
Arthur
Arthur, Robin, and Fisher, are you there

135
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,480
as well?
Cathy Good, Cathy. Yes. We uh we we got

136
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:42,080
together at the uh aim
uh they do an annual legislative dinner.

137
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,960
Uh it was actually really interesting.
Uh they had the CEO of Community

138
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,280
Hospital there and and Monday nights
always are always going to be hard on my

139
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:52,400
end and so I I had told Arthur and the
group that hey, I hadn't had a chance

140
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:56,240
hadn't had a chance to make it out to a
council meeting but I kind of left early

141
00:10:54,400 --> 00:11:01,760
work early with this afternoon to I
wanted to get out and uh be here. I'll

142
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:05,160
make sure everyone has has my card. Um I
always just want to be a service to you

143
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,640
all if I ever can in terms of this issue
at the state level. Edgewood is pretty

144
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:13,320
quiet in terms of things at the state
compared to that to our brethren in

145
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,160
Anderson. There's water issues and
utility issues and things like that

146
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,160
where depending the age a lot in the
state level. I've not heard so much at

147
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:23,120
the state level at the from Edgewood but
if there are ever issues, I want to be a

148
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,240
resource. Obviously, if you have, you
know,

149
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,400
state contacts with, you know, if
there's, you know, whatever

150
00:11:26,447 --> 00:11:31,920
[clears throat] state agency, obviously
go to them first but if there's ever a

151
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:36,360
situation where hey, where you're
running into roadblocks or not hearing

152
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,680
back, you know, I always say half of my
job is the policy stuff that gets the

153
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,880
most notoriety.
But the other half that I play the old

154
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,320
school phone operator where you have a
question or there's a concern, let me

155
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:50,560
know and I can kind of run it down for
you. And so,

156
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,640
I appreciate the the short term. Real
quick, you know, obviously there's

157
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,480
things we're talking about the local
government level.

158
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:59,440
There you know, there's SEA 1 from 2025.
We're still kind of trying to fine-tune

159
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,560
that. So, there's some more
predictability for the board so that you

160
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,240
know you know what you're doing going
into 28 28 28 29 30 31.

161
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,240
But yeah, but happy to answer your
questions. But also, I don't want this

162
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,560
to be the one-time thing. I want this to
be continuous conversation. If I ever

163
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,320
can be helpful, might not always be able
to make Monday at 5:00, but you know,

164
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,280
always have to grab lunch and whatnot.
But there are any questions, great. If

165
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:24,520
not, I'll sit down and just kind of
be listening.

166
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,360
» I got a question.
Appreciate you coming here. There's been

167
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,720
a lot of concern about SB1
and the impact that it might have on

168
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,960
communities. Do you have any thoughts on
it?

169
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:38,520
» I think the big the big thing is
um

170
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,720
I I've kind of entered two factions.
One, if there's specific questions like

171
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:46,839
hey, Ed you know, Ed has a question of
hey, what's this going to look like for

172
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:49,680
us in 28 29 27 28 29. Happy to sit down
and sit down with uh

173
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:54,600
uh Department of Local Government
Finance or AIM. There's like specific

174
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,839
questions like that. Generally speaking,
I think

175
00:12:55,839 --> 00:13:01,360
uh the some of the things that we did
this year in 2026 kind of more fine-tune

176
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:05,960
and I give predictability.
I was going to report from AIC which is

177
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Association of Indiana Counties actually
this morning. Um I think in terms of

178
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,869
that kind of global concern when people
were looking at the 2028 financials, I

179
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,520
think
>> [clears throat]

180
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:20,200
» um
that has kind of calmed down. That when

181
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:25,040
we did when we did SEA 1 in 2025, we
looked at the 2028 financials, it was a

182
00:13:22,839 --> 00:13:30,720
estimate off of an estimate on when it
came to the appraisals.

183
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:34,840
As we've gotten closer to that, the the
the assessment

184
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,280
speculation for 2028 has stabilized and
then we're pushing off the lit for a

185
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:42,120
year for an extra protection. So, I
think this concern of this like 2028

186
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:46,760
fall off, I don't think that's going to
be there. I think a lot of people have

187
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:52,680
were concerned about when they saw the
2028 numbers and look at the fiscal

188
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:55,680
note for FCA 1, it looked bombastic, but
the fiscal notes were never set up to

189
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,440
look that far out. So, I think now that
we look there today,

190
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,840
there's not going to hopefully be this
massive drop off. There will probably,

191
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,160
you know, you probably will see a
transfer over from, you know, local

192
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:09,920
income tax, but the big concern of you
are hearing the saleable was the older

193
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:14,520
residents, their income's going down,
but yet the property tax wasn't being

194
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,760
addressed all of that. Where now, if you
are not your income's going down, we're

195
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:23,120
not going to have that tax burden on you
as much. And so, yeah, I mean, so it's

196
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,120
it's one of those we're constantly going
to go through it. And that's one of the

197
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,539
things as we get closer to that, I want
to hear,

198
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,880
you know, if you have a financial
[clears throat] advisor or your attorney

199
00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:36,120
says they we have a have a concern,
let's talk about tweaking things. For

200
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:40,400
example, I was able to get in a
an exemption for the South Madison fire

201
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,400
this last session. It was the only fire
territory in the state that's actually

202
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,720
able to go above 0.4 for the tax rate.
So, there's some specific things we can

203
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:52,680
do for Atwood. I can't guarantee it, but
we can definitely talk through, okay,

204
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:55,600
hey, there's some redline issue, let's
meet, let's get together, let's get you

205
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,160
guys with the ways and means, chairman,
things like that and just kind of walk

206
00:14:56,839 --> 00:15:01,520
walk through and talk through So, yeah.
>> Have a good day. If you have more

207
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,200
specific stuff, happy to kind of walk
through it. Thanks.

208
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,320
» Appreciate it. If we need to talk to you
about the pool, can we talk to you?

209
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,920
» No, we have [clears throat] not.
About the the pool?

210
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,600
» Okay. Yes, you have heard about that.
>> Oh, yeah, I'm very familiar with that.

211
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,800
Yes.
>> He's familiar with it and in our brief

212
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,560
discussion, we will have more
discussions in the future, I think, is

213
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,000
what we discussed.
>> And I I want to put anything

214
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,120
Have there Have Have you guys discussed
it all and I I'm going to leave probably

215
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,800
do my political turn. Have you discussed
it all with like

216
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,640
any of the nonprofits at the state level
or like any of the

217
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,280
» Not yet.
>> Okay.

218
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Again, it's I can't promise anything,
but there is like a tourism boards and

219
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:45,040
things like that where we can discuss it
We're probably looking more at

220
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:48,800
hopefully like maybe low term
loans. I can't guarantee it, but we can

221
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,000
just talk and
you know.

222
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,240
» We have grants that are
>> Yeah.

223
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,920
I do want to do grants and private
donations and yeah and things like that,

224
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,840
but
but yeah I'm happy to talk about it, but

225
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,360
» Do you golf?
>> What?

226
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,600
» Do you golf?
>> I can play in a I can play in a

227
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,280
scramble.
>> Okay.

With that one coming up in June.
>> I'll do it.

229
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,240
I'll do it.
>> Okay.

230
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:12,640
» Well, I will I will sit down with the

00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:17,040
any anyone any of our residents or
anybody in your office have any

232
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,040
questions for Mr. Pierce?

233
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,080
» I'll discuss [clears throat] it in a
little bit.

234
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,280
» Okay.
>> I'll actually get up to talk.

235
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,800
» All right.
>> I'll sit

236
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,160
» Yeah.

» Introduce yourself.
>> 1048

238
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,560
» It's 1048. I'm going to look it up in
the journal.

239
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,080
» Dale
>> okay.

240
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,960
» Dale, introduce yourself. Introduce
yourself.

241
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,720
» I'm Dale Van Brock with the fire
department.

242
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,640
You had increased [clears throat] the
gas and clothing allowance to each

243
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:49,080
volunteer firefighter on our our
department this past state.

244
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,676
And which is great. You raised it from
150 to 200.

245
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,560
» Mhm.
>> [clears throat]

246
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,080
» So, how can we then give us any money to
pay for that?

247
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,200
» Yeah, we can talk about
>> Uh

248
00:16:55,916 --> 00:16:59,720
» [snorts]
>> So, what terms of So, I need to look at

249
00:16:58,839 --> 00:17:01,880
I'm looking at right now with these
three.

250
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,720
So, one in terms of why didn't we get
more money cuz it's not it wasn't a

251
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:09,600
budget year. So, we couldn't go into the
budget as to generally speaking. So,

252
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:13,000
this year So, without
going into the bill itself

253
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,959
um
I am going to go through the same thing.

254
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:19,839
Okay.
The unit [snorts] circle

255
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,839
shall produce

256
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:27,079
» I see what you're saying. Yes, so in
terms of whatever you whatever you give

257
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:31,320
more money for, a lot of that's because
in terms of if it's not a budget year,

258
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,560
we don't allocate more money.
Um but if you have a specific question

259
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,527
of about it, I'm happy to discuss that
with you. In terms of

260
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,360
» Let me just ask you. We have to
[clears throat] what 150

261
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:43,480
» Yeah.
>> How am I supposed to pay that with the

262
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:46,160
limited budget that I have?
>> I'll I'll we'll have to pull that up

263
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,480
afterwards. I'll
walk I'll walk through it.

264
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:54,160
» Okay. Sounds good.
>> And and not that the bill to to belabor

265
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:59,520
that, but that does become what we look
at as an unfunded mandate. And it does

266
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,440
create a burden for small communities
such as ours.

267
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,080
» You know, I'm I'm happy to walk through
this. This is

268
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:16,560
I hear you. And we we can talk about
that, too. I mean, if you want to you

269
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:19,120
know, in terms of you know, try to
offset or something like that. But

270
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,440
again, I I hear you. Can I can I ask how
many how many folks right now does that

271
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,160
impact for you on your on your team?
>> Well, we're [clears throat] budgeted for

272
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,240
25.
>> Yeah.

273
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,160
» And we're close to that every year.
>> All right.

274
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,120
» And that's happy.
>> Mhm.

275
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,640
» So, you take
25 * uh

276
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:40,680
150
for each one.

277
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,400
That's what?
Over 5,600, 7,800, 13,000 or something

278
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,720
like
>> All right.

279
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,560
» Yeah.
>> Let's sit down and talk. So, it was So,

280
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:53,400
that was the author of it was a
firefighter. Uh and so, if we need to

281
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,760
talk about trying to address that, we
can we can address that. We can make it

282
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,320
we can make it optional or things like
that.

283
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:03,480
Um that was Randy Novak, who's a
firefighter up in in like Lake Reporter

284
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,440
County that offered that bill. And so,
we can talk about it and we can

285
00:19:04,298 --> 00:19:06,600
» [clears throat]
>> try to work

286
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,640
work to address it. So.
>> But I think it's a great thing to do.

287
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,200
» Yeah.
>> Just did.

288
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,440
» Yeah. Well, we can
let's let's sit down and talk. I mean,

289
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,160
cuz
um

290
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,880
that's one of those bills that of all
the hundreds we we passed, I'm not going

291
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,880
to lie to you. I I I didn't you know, we
haven't I haven't looked at that one in

292
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:27,440
a couple months.
But, we can talk through with like the

293
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:31,040
with Cody over at the Anderson Fire.
He's the head of the

294
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,440
or he's the vice president at the
Firefighters Union. And he can we can

295
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,120
kind of talk through is there part of
their ask for next year to have more

296
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,840
funding for that? If it's not, we can
talk about do we maybe have a

297
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,680
conversation about a lot of guys have
more variability of saying, "Hey, we

298
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,120
can't do that. We got to report it."
>> I'd love to talk with you.

299
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,200
» Yeah, definitely. All you All I was
going to say was feel free to hit my

300
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,600
card out after after this if there are
questions or things like that or if

301
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,200
again you need to tweak it next session,
happy to do it.

302
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:56,200
» Okay.
>> Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

303
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,760
» Police Department, Randy.

304
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:17,720
Good evening. Uh for the month of
February,

305
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:21,520
we had 82 calls for service
and 22 traffic stops. And out of those

306
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:24,840
two 22 traffic stops, we had two
speeding tickets, two speeding

307
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,440
citations. You can tell Officer Ray's no
longer with us.

308
00:20:26,829 --> 00:20:30,759
» [laughter]
>> We we do

309
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,960
We have March to start off. We do have
[clears throat] officers pulling over

310
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:38,960
more people than and issuing more. So,
that that number should grow.

311
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:43,840
Um we are also uh Chief has started a
physical fitness standards for the

312
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:48,440
department. And we're also um increasing
our um handgun and

313
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,240
um
What was the other one?

314
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,760
» It's tactics.
>> Defensive tactics standards. So, we're

315
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,960
doing more training with that throughout
the year.

316
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:01,200
Um coming up on April 25th, Saturday,
April 25th is Drug Take Back Day

317
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,720
from 10:00 a.m. [clears throat] to 2:00
p.m.

318
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,560
Uh we'll be here at the back of the
Richfield Police Department. Um

319
00:21:05,474 --> 00:21:10,000
» [clears throat]
>> any unused medication, we don't take

320
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:13,720
syringes, we don't take um
anything under pressure, any containers,

321
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,040
asthma.
We don't take any of those cuz they uh

322
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,680
they just check it all into a big
furnace and if you put those canisters

323
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:24,600
under pressure,
boom. [clears throat]

324
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:28,680
And that would be bad.
Um the last thing I have to talk about

325
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:33,360
is this [snorts] table. I don't know if
anybody saw it on your way in. This was

326
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:37,240
made free of charge to the town, to the
department uh us

327
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:42,040
by the Department of Corrections.
Um Jess and I went out and picked it up

328
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:45,120
today, brought it in. Um
not much to say about it. Looks nice.

329
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,049
It's a really sturdy table. It's a heavy
table.

330
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:51,600
I can speak to that one.
>> [laughter]

331
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,960
» Um but it looks really nice and the
inmates worked on it and like I said, it

332
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:58,880
didn't cost us anything. They have a
separate fund that they were able to

333
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,960
make that from.
>> It's beautiful.

334
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,280
» So.
>> Is that something you guys asked for or

335
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,480
» Yeah, I Jess, how did you find out about
that?

336
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,400
» Um so their Facebook page, everyone's
wanting you to see a different

337
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,920
department getting stuff.
>> Okay.

338
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,600
» Um so
I ordered one for the police department

339
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:16,720
fire department at the same time. Fire
department one is a little delayed right

340
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:22,080
now.
Um we should hopefully get it within the

341
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:30,800
next year. We don't know yet though. Um
that was all funded by um

342
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,800
the sale of picnic tables for B&R.

343
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:36,160
» It's nice.
>> So she just happened to see it on

344
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,830
Facebook and reached out to say,
"Hey, we want one."

345
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,280
And
>> [laughter]

346
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:43,280
» so they made one for us.
>> Yeah.

347
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,960
» So it'll be around. It'll either be here
or in one of our back meeting rooms that

348
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,240
we have.
>> Is that a no cost?

349
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,480
» Yes, no cost.
>> Wow.

350
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,880
They've been doing that for a lot of
departments. APD has a really nice

351
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,160
podium that they made for their training
room.

352
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,340
» Yeah, they they I guess they make them
for a lot of departments around the

353
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,320
state. It was new to me.
>> [clears throat]

354
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:11,440
» They sort of educated me on it, so.
Yep, we got it.

355
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:17,920
» Any questions for Mr. Ackerman?
I'm good.

356
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,920
Thank you.

357
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,200
Mr. Ferguson,
water report.

358
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:31,960
» Well, there's a lot tonight, but first
I'll tell you is it's good to be here

359
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:36,840
cuz the last time I missed the last
meeting. Um

360
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:40,040
had a gallbladder surgery last time. Um
got a lot of uh

361
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:44,920
questions, answers, how am I doing? I
appreciate all those.

362
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:50,600
Uh one of the things about that was is
the absolute next day I actually came

363
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:55,080
into work after surgery. Um as the
water

364
00:23:52,440 --> 00:24:01,760
water superintendent with the licenses
that I carry, you still have to make

365
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:07,880
visits to the water plant every day. So,
I still fulfilled all of that even

366
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,600
feeling bad. So, I I came to work the
rest of the week. I did not work full

367
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:16,240
days, but I was here for at least a
couple of hours. Um

368
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,640
definitely want to uh
Carl's going to hate me for this, but I

369
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,000
definitely I've been thinking the whole
time cuz being under a weight

370
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:27,840
restriction, I can't help. All I can do
is just watching, you know, and that's

371
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:31,120
that's an awful thing to not be able to
help. So, but I definitely appreciate

372
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,120
it.
Um

373
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,680
real quick on some things that we need
to do. We have we have

374
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,240
uh we always was talking about the lead
service line project. We have to do that

375
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:45,557
identification.
Um I've just re-stopped receiving any

376
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,640
emails from any residents.
[clears throat]

377
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:52,720
Nobody's taking pictures of their
home or anything like we've asked. That

378
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:56,960
That's all has stopped. I haven't
received anything in

379
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,040
in February, and I've not received any
more in March. So

380
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,240
» Should have gotten mine in February.
>> I did receive yours but I thought I got

381
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:08,120
it in
January but

382
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:12,360
either way they they those have all
slowed down and pretty much stopped. So

383
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:18,280
the
the residents aren't doing that so it's

384
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:23,840
going to be more difficult to make sure
that we try to identify all of those

385
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:28,760
and that will bring me to my question
for the state representative is

386
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,000
» Before before you do that can [laughter]
um

387
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,640
Are you concerned because it slowed down
and stopped?

388
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,760
» I kind of expected it.
>> Mhm.

389
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,800
» I mean
>> Could we send a Could Could we send a

390
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,040
text out or something if if
>> We send paperwork.

391
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,360
» Mhm.
>> I mean we we delivered stuff everywhere.

392
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,720
It's on the website.
>> but we talked about it the other day and

393
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:58,360
we're going to put it on the website
again and advertise it on Facebook and

394
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:02,000
we'll do that continually
throughout this whole process cuz this

395
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,000
is going to be a a few year process.
It's not going to be a few month

396
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:08,320
process.
>> It's not It's not a very fast one. I

397
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,720
mean I wish it was but it is not.
>> Yeah but we have to keep it in front of

398
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,320
the residents.
>> Yes I'm

399
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,760
» Yeah.
>> I'm trying.

400
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,600
» Yep.
>> Okay I'll I'll keep mentioning it.

401
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,920
» Well here's our social media guy right
here.

402
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,240
» Oh we we talk quite a bit.
>> Okay. All right. Okay.

403
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:28,560
» We talk quite a So my question for the
state representative is under this

404
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,400
initiative that the the federal
government actually started in the in

405
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:36,680
the state government doing through IDEM
and stuff like that. I know like the

406
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:41,493
town of or the city of Anderson has
received more than $18 million for that

407
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:45,800
particular project. Um
>> [clears throat]

408
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:50,520
» Edgewood is allowed zero dollars
for that. They are telling us we don't

409
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:54,720
get any funding because we are less than
a thousand services so they think that

410
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:59,320
we should do this on our own. I would
love for you to give me more

411
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:03,960
clarification on why the smaller cities
are supposed to just fund it themselves.

412
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,680
» I would say that's instead of doing
that, let's try to get why aren't they

413
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,160
helping funding less than a thousand?
>> Well,

414
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:14,760
I have asked I actually have an engineer
that's calling almost on a monthly basis

415
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:19,960
and
they just say "Kirk, leave me alone. You

416
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:22,760
know, it's not doing it yet." But
I

417
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:26,720
I go to a conference tomorrow. So,
hopefully IDEM's going to speak on this.

418
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,400
So, um be looking forward to see what
kind of

419
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:35,320
stuff they have to say.
>> Yeah. I would say let's sit down and and

420
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,640
uh is this is it Monday out of 24 or is
it one day?

421
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,640
» Yeah.
>> So, let's sit down and and uh

422
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:44,440
Now, the
Now, caveat the feds might have said a

423
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,640
thousand less, but if it's the state,
let's I mean hey, worst the worst thing

424
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:51,360
we can do is [clears throat] say hey, we
should have it for less than a thousand

425
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,800
and make them tell us now.
>> Well, I don't know if I

426
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:58,040
» We have to We have to do that at the We
have to pass a bill to do that, but

427
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,960
let's go work at it.
>> I'm not sure who exactly is running it.

428
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:05,120
I just know that they are telling my
engineer

429
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,520
"You don't get any money."
So, [clears throat] and we have and he

430
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:13,720
has tried several different avenues to
get that. He's actually gone through

431
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:18,200
some of his other clients that did not
use all of their money, which they gave

432
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,760
it back and he was like "Well, that was
already allocated

433
00:28:19,744 --> 00:28:23,520
» [snorts]
>> for these. Just give me that and I'll

434
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,160
start divvying it up between some other
clients." And they said no.

435
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,280
» Yeah,
and I

436
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,200
I don't want to take over the meeting,
but I mean

437
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:35,040
I I
I'm not I'm not saying that

438
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,920
there probably is some probably was some
kind of threshold number. I'm not

439
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:42,440
doubting that, but what I'm saying is
that basically let's work on lowering

440
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:45,520
that threshold number. Uh especially if
and this is kind of outside of my normal

441
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:50,160
purview.
So, once like you're they're returning

442
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:53,120
money, at that point are they done?
>> I would imagine so. I mean

443
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,880
» So, they do let's talk about money
that's been reverted, potentially

444
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,960
saying, "Hey,
money that's been reverted can create a

445
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,680
fund for work."
Yeah.

446
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,480
» Well, I know for a fact he was told no.
He was not allowed They were not going

447
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:08,480
to get, you know what I mean? I don't
know where it's going. I don't know if

448
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,560
they're Who's sitting on it? What they
what they're going to use it for. Like I

449
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,040
said,
hopefully on Wednesday when they speak,

450
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,120
I
I'm going to find out more information,

451
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,240
so.
>> Any other questions?

452
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:27,880
» But, it just seems it just seems very
unfair that small towns are not getting

453
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:30,800
the same consideration as larger
municipalities.

454
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:35,080
» So, we will I'll say we can talk about
it afterwards as well. I If they have a

455
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:38,440
Q&A, you ask the question.
>> I'm just looking at

456
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:42,280
» Is this a federal guidance on this
thousand, or is it a state guidance?

457
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,640
State guidance we can talk about when we
come in next legislative session.

458
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:54,400
» I'll make sure I ask that particular
question. Thank you.

459
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,400
Um

460
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:01,640
A few other things. Um here
last weekend today, we've been removing

461
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:05,520
trees out of the road.
Uh we've we've talked about there are so

462
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:09,200
many mature trees in the town of
Edgewood. I think

463
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:13,000
residents really should look at some of
those and and have those trimmed. I I

464
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:17,720
understand those are more costs out of
those residential homes. Maybe they got

465
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:21,840
the money, maybe they don't, but
we sure have a lot of them down, and we

466
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,680
are out there
pushing them out of the road.

467
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:29,560
Um
Another thing is, and I don't know what

468
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:34,400
we're going to do, but the stop sign
over here at Cherry and Park Road, it

469
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:38,640
it just keeps getting run over.
Um we've had a couple of them get run

470
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:43,880
over this year. Um
one at uh

471
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:49,320
Winding Way at 32, that one got ran
over. So, we put a standard out, which

472
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:55,240
is basically a concrete block it that
you make out of an old car rim.

473
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:58,320
Well, somebody decided to steal that.
So, they stole that and then down the

474
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:03,200
road at
I'll call it Turtle Park, they stole a

475
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:08,520
speed limit sign. So, we had to replace
that one. That was $81. So, we put that

476
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:12,520
one up. So, I don't know
what they're going to do with an old

477
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:16,040
dead stop sign
and why they took a 20 mile an hour

478
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,580
speed limit sign, I don't know. I would
have wanted one that was a lot faster

479
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,480
than that, I guess. I don't know.
[laughter]

480
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:27,680
You know, 55, you know, whatever. But,
yeah, they decided they wanted that. So,

481
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:32,680
we've done that. Um
we started putting up street signs and

482
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,000
taking out old poles. Some like they
Some like posted that on Facebook as

483
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:40,560
well, which I appreciate that. But,
when the weather cooperates, we will go

484
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:44,560
back out and we will get back on that as
well when

485
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:50,560
we get time.
The One of the most newest things is is

486
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:56,400
the water model for the
for the new water tower has come in.

487
00:31:53,360 --> 00:32:01,080
Now, this is a draft. This is not a
final product. Anybody that would like

488
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:05,720
to look at that, I have I have one. It's
long and it it repeats so much

489
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:10,080
information in it, it's it's almost
redundant.

490
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:15,080
But, anyway, they the we had
four sites here in South Edgewood that

491
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:19,800
we looked at to
bring up the water pressure and and

492
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,160
things of that nature. And it does
identify a lot of issues that we do have

493
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:27,120
with the
with the system and that would be one of

494
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:32,960
the things is fire protection. So,
toward the southern part of all the way

495
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:36,320
down on Village, you know,
they do have water pressure out there,

496
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:40,440
but when when comes to pumping, some of
that is is a lot lower than what it

497
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:45,200
really needs to be. So, we have
identified

498
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:50,080
four areas to put the water tower, and
the two places that they said would be

499
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:53,680
the best places for us, we don't own
that property.

500
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:59,240
We would have to secure
one of those two properties, and then go

501
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:02,520
through a design and build and and do
all that. Now,

502
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,520
their proposal, like I said, this is
just a draft. They've got some

503
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:10,440
information in here that I've read that
I've got to have them correct.

504
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:15,840
Um
they they're saying that um

505
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:19,160
any of the four areas, if we were to put
it there,

506
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:23,040
the cost is all going to be the same. It
will be They're they're projecting it at

507
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:27,880
3.
$8.8 million

508
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:32,200
to put a 250,000
gallon

509
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:40,520
water tank in. And that is, by the
hydraulic model, will boost all of South

510
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:44,120
Edgewood and get us into compliance with
fire regulatory

511
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:49,640
uh
PSI for all of our hydrants.

512
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:53,600
And would actually bump up the water
pressure for all the residents on the

513
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:58,520
South End, as well.
Um

514
00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:02,200
Now, the two sides that they
that they cited would be the best, the

515
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:08,280
first one is would
is at the end of Redwood.

516
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:11,919
Over here, just off of Winding Way,
we're talking about if we could procure

517
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:16,040
some
some land, 2 acres is what they're

518
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:20,679
asking for, over in the farmland.
They're saying that would be that That's

519
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:26,200
number one. Number two would be
off of Oakwood, if we could get the

520
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:31,159
the lot behind the church there, which
is in Anderson, and we don't own any of

521
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:37,639
that anyway. They're We're that it'd be
number two.

522
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:42,280
Um number three was
putting it in Winter Park.

523
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:47,840
On the Winter Park area, the problem
with that is is the fact that there are

524
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:51,000
no 6-in mains to be able to connect to.
Which I've come up with an idea for

525
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,360
that. I believe we just have to put in
some We would have to actually run

526
00:34:52,399 --> 00:34:58,440
booster lines. We already own that
particular property, so we'd have to

527
00:34:56,023 --> 00:35:02,960
[clears throat] run some 6-in lines out.
Um most of our

528
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:08,440
Most of our water lines in south, we
have 6-in runs down

529
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:13,320
uh South Winding and Edgewood. So, those
are our our two biggest lines.

530
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:19,040
Everything else spins off of that, and
it's either going to be 4 or 2-in.

531
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,840
Um the fourth area, I forget where the
fourth one was.

532
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,600
» Railroad.
>> Oh, yes.

533
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:27,520
Back on the other side of Village where
we'd have to actually bore a line

534
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:31,160
underneath somebody's residence to get
it back into

535
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,360
this way, so
I'm not a big fan of that one.

536
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:39,640
» Um
Is that beyond the east lot?

537
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:42,080
» Uh yeah.
Um

538
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:49,720
As it was put to me by Rob, he said
aesthetically that would probably look

539
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:55,080
best be down there, but
it would be harder to have it put there.

540
00:35:52,240 --> 00:36:00,000
Um plus we Plus in dealing with many
years of having to deal with water lines

541
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:04,640
and things like that around a railroad
station. No, we don't have to cross it

542
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:11,120
or but just be near it, they can get
extremely picky, and they can get just

543
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,560
they can just be very difficult.
So.

544
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:17,000
» Even though that line is not highly
used?

545
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,520
» Yeah.
They'll they'll come They're They're

546
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:24,200
just like anybody. They're going to come
up with an excuse for anything to do any

547
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,360
of that.
Um

548
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:30,240
» What do you You the drawback for Winter
Park?

549
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:35,800
» I don't see a drawback for Windsor Park
if we run the booster lines.

550
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:42,040
So coming out of Windsor Park, so you
got you are at Windsor and Orchard. So

551
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:45,000
my idea was is if we were to run
you [clears throat] can do it one of two

552
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:48,600
ways. You can either replace the 4-in
line that's there or you can just run a

553
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,320
booster line.
Um

554
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:55,560
run it down from Windsor Park, run it
all the way down to Edgewood and tie it

555
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:59,680
into that 6-in.
You can run

556
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:03,360
a booster line a 6-in all the way down
Orchard to where it ties into the 4-in

557
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:08,480
at
Westfield.

558
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:13,320
And then also you can go from
on the same 6-in slot on the same 6-in

559
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:18,320
line, if you go on Dogwood, you go
straight [clears throat] over to

560
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:23,480
Winding Way South, you can tie into that
6-in and then you've got three points

561
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:28,440
that that tower will will breathe. It
will the water will fluctuate, go up and

562
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:32,440
down and then it can disperse in three
different areas or three different lines

563
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:35,160
uh
to help

564
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,440
boost the pressure all the way through
South.

565
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:42,200
» But the two primary properties that
they're looking locations that they're

566
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:45,080
talking about are outside the town
limits.

567
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:51,280
» Yeah, because those those two properties
actually have the ability to hook up to

568
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:54,640
the 6-in line very very quickly.
>> All right, well there's two issues that

569
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:59,560
I see.
The first is

570
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,800
anybody who remembers when we were going
to

571
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,280
build our own water treatment plant and
and

572
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:10,520
and that sort of stuff and it was
outside the town, we caught a lot of

573
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:13,760
flak from resident from
from other residents. I mean that really

574
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,000
just put the
to kibosh on it. You remember that?

575
00:38:15,801 --> 00:38:19,120
» [laughter]
>> Very well.

576
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:22,840
» Uh that's one and two
if we were to purchase 2 acres from a

577
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:30,400
farmer.
Would we still need to annex that?

578
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:34,360
» No, I don't I don't believe so.
Um what we [clears throat] could do and

579
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:38,120
then what and I learned this lesson from
uh former superintendent Tom that's here

580
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:42,440
and then he done this many, many times
over in Anderson. Once, you know, and he

581
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:47,600
would [cough] build well houses. He
would he would find land, he would buy

582
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:52,080
it. He was able to get anywhere from
three to five acres off of farmer, but

583
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:56,840
then all of a sudden you just let them
farm all the way up to that property.

584
00:38:54,960 --> 00:39:00,960
Even though and and you never charge
them anything. So, there that was a good

585
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:06,120
lesson that I remember hearing what he
done and everything and for some reason

586
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:11,400
uh I was able to remember that. But, you
could, you know, so

587
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:15,640
they talk about a a 200 by 200 squares
where the water tower would sit on it,

588
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:20,560
which is it's not that's not a great big
property, but

589
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:24,280
it's definitely less than two acres,
which is what they're asking for. So,

590
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:29,720
that farmer would probably be able to
farm at least a full acre of that. We

591
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:34,040
might own two acres, but he would
probably or she would be able to farm at

592
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:38,040
least
a full acre of that with no charge to

593
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:42,000
the town because they're going to we're
going to buy that. I mean,

594
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:44,640
we're not going to develop that
>> Right.

595
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:50,000
» two acres. I mean, we just want to be
able to get into it, be able to check

596
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:54,440
the water tower, be the accessible to uh
do whatever kind of maintenance that we

597
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:56,960
might have to do to it and then just
back right out.

598
00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,480
» So, what obligations would we have with
the city of Anderson?

599
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:04,520
» I don't know that we would have any of
that. [clears throat] Now, the only

600
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:08,920
thing that they have out around us is
they have water rights.

601
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:13,702
That's all that they have. They have
they have encompassed us. Now, we can

602
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:17,040
actually um
>> [clears throat]

603
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:22,160
» we can actually go to the uh
UIRC. What's the name of the UIRC?

604
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:26,200
Utility Regulatory Commission. And we
can petition with that, and then they

605
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:30,440
could let that go.
But, we're not feeding any residents.

606
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:37,440
We're just using that for a storage.
That is not We are not claiming any more

607
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:41,600
services. That's just our property, and
we decided to put a water storage tank

608
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:45,320
on it. That's not feeding any more
residents in their area.

609
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:50,640
You see what I'm saying? We're not
taking any business from them.

610
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:55,720
I mean, we can always check on it.
But, we would be taking no There There's

611
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,953
no money out of their pocket in any way
that I can see.

612
00:40:56,933 --> 00:40:58,953
» [clears throat]

613
00:41:03,483 --> 00:41:08,280
[clears throat]
>> I do um

614
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:11,960
I do, but the problem is
he

615
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:15,400
he did not send me this report in an
email. He gave me a link, and then I

616
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:19,913
have to go through, and I got to put in
a password and everything, because he

617
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,913
said it was too big. [clears throat]

618
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:25,840
So, um Rob has read through it. I gave a
copy to Catherine. I'm not sure she read

619
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:29,440
through it or not, but like I said,
there's a lot of information in there

620
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:32,920
that's just absolutely redundant. He
says three or four times in there is the

621
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:37,920
same information.
Um believe it or not, you actually

622
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:41,040
read through it actually quite quickly.
>> Patty, we could probably You could

623
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:44,000
probably get a thumb drive and download
it off his computer,

624
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,320
and that way you'd have a copy of it and
everything like that.

625
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:51,160
» It's It's important for both you and and
Patty to to review it, because one,

626
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,160
you're water sewer, and two, if we're
talking about the parks.

627
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,640
» Yeah.
Okay.

628
00:41:55,280 --> 00:42:03,400
» So, um
in this in the

629
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,400
for this hydraulic model, um

630
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:11,080
it came to us very late.
And I won't go into the details of that,

631
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:15,320
but anyway, what we are We're to do is
we're going to uh

632
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:19,200
slow walk this and make sure that this
professional engineers report is what

633
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:25,880
they're calling it, the PER,
is finalized after April 1st.

634
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:29,920
Um, before had they
really not forgotten about us,

635
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:36,440
which of our admin discussion with that
engineering company, um,

636
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:39,840
we would have looked to try to get SRF
funding

637
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:44,080
to try to get this
program off the ground. Had I gotten

638
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:47,840
this back in maybe December or even
early January,

639
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:51,040
we could have decided whether we really
want to

640
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:55,080
look at a site,
really really dive into it to see how

641
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,680
quickly we might want to move on to
this.

642
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:03,200
Um, some of the other things that is
noted in this report is the fact that we

643
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:07,200
do not have the
extra overhead storage or underground

644
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:12,520
storage
of our our normal capacity of one day.

645
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:16,760
We have 60 gallon 60,000 gallon water
tower and that's it. Right now, I mean,

646
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:20,920
this is our lower this is our low time.
We are using around 150,000 gallons a

647
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:27,040
day.
If we put up a 250,000 gallon tank, that

648
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:30,120
gives us 310 overhead storage.
Which

649
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:33,640
even on the biggest day that we've ever
done was 288,000.

650
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:38,480
That's a day that we were actually
flushing hydrants.

651
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:42,960
310 would get us
no problem. We would We would meet those

652
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:49,000
requirements by the 10 state standards
as they quote in the report.

653
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:52,320
So, the fire protection, the water
pressure for the residents, and the

654
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,960
overhead storage
in case of fire emergencies, which over

655
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,720
the last year we found a lot of those,
too.

656
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,880
» So.
>> Last week.

657
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:03,240
» Yeah.
So.

658
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:07,000
Um, like I said, I've I've only gotten
the one copy there. We'll try to get a

659
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:13,200
thumb drive and to those all to you.
Like I said, I have I have written down

660
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:16,880
some information on it that is wrong and
so that they need to they need to adjust

661
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,920
those things and they would have all
that information had they contacted us.

662
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,840
So.
>> Okay.

663
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:28,400
» Other than that, I think I'm done.
>> Do you have any questions for me?

664
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:31,680
» Any questions for Mr. Ferguson?
>> All right.

665
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:31,680
» Thank you.

666
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:38,000
» All right, let's move on to our member
reports, Mr. Reed.

667
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,945
» No member report.
>> Ms. Faron?

668
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,600
» I do have something. First,
>> [snorts]

669
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:48,800
» Don took care of most of it.
Um as far as the um

670
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:53,160
Edgewood dining facility,
we are having a St. Patrick's Day

671
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:57,360
tomorrow as is the world and um you're
all welcome to come out. We're We're

672
00:44:54,720 --> 00:45:01,520
celebrating all day from 11:00 to 8:00.
It'll be fun.

673
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:08,080
Um we're having an Easter buffet,
which Arthur signed up for just tonight.

674
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:13,680
Um that'll be on Easter day from um 3:00
or 11:00 to 3:00.

675
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:16,560
And we are having the fundraiser for our
pool, the big one.

676
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:22,480
Um
June 26th, um lunch and sign

677
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:26,800
registration at noon and golfing at
1:00.

678
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:31,240
We're hoping to get 21 teams and
have a good time and raise some money

679
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:37,600
for our pool.
And um then we're

680
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:37,600
also planning an adult prom, which

681
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:45,480
it's a it's a fun idea uh on June 27th
and that will be a fun thing. We'll get

682
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:51,320
a lot of publicity out there about it.
And if you haven't noticed, there is um

683
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:55,160
uh Scatterfield and 10th, we have a big
um digital

684
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,320
uh billboard going
um to

685
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,760
make sure people [clears throat] know
that we're out here.

686
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:03,680
So.
We were told we needed more advertising.

687
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,960
We're doing it, but we're doing it
through the Chamber of Commerce, which

688
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:11,040
is
a lot less expensive than just going to

689
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:14,040
a billboard company.
So.

690
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,920
It's all I have.
>> Tell us a little more about the adult

691
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:21,160
prom.
>> The adult prom? It's Well, we're going

692
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:24,160
to have dancing and food, and it's it's
going to be like a prom.

693
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:28,640
» Black tie affair?
>> It's going to be dress up, yes. Yes.

694
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,120
» You coming to that?
>> I don't dance.

695
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:36,882
» Well, you don't have to.
You can get up there and sing.

696
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:39,080
» Oh lord, I'd rather you dance.
>> [laughter]

697
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:42,840
» We just want to get something going
that's that's fun for the community and

698
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,760
help raise some money.
>> fundraiser?

699
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:49,982
» Yep, another fundraiser. We have the DJ
secured already, and he's free of

700
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,360
charge, so.
>> [clears throat]

701
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,400
» Keep on.
>> Did you Did you mention the awning

702
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,520
replacement?
>> No, I did not.

703
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,807
That's exciting. I should have mentioned
that. Um our awning, I don't know if

704
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:04,400
many of you have noticed it
[clears throat] over the patio is like

705
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:09,840
shredded. Um last year it was hit by one
of the big storms and got a big hole in

706
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:15,760
it. And um I filed with our insurance
company, which has taken a bit, but um

707
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:20,200
they have agreed to pay for replacement
of it, and we're going to put a a metal

708
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:25,320
roof on it. So, that we won't have the
ripping, shredding, tearing. Uh if you

709
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:29,760
go look now, we have I think three big
sunlights. Um

710
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:33,120
What do you call them?
>> Tarps?

711
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:34,560
» No, no, the op- openings. Skylights.
>> Skylights, yeah.

712
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,560
» Um
>> Oh, I see what you

713
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:40,880
» Yeah, they're just they're just amazing
too. But uh we don't really like a

714
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:45,040
skylight. We'd like to have it covered,
so um

715
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:48,880
we just got that word, and hopefully in
the next week or so, if

716
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:53,360
the weather cooperates, [laughter]
um they'll be able to tear the rest of

717
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:56,000
the um awning down, get busy on our
metal roof.

718
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,600
» Is that it?
>> Mhm.

719
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:06,120
» Okay. Mr. Faron.
>> Yes, I do have a report regarding

720
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:10,400
uh structures that the town owns located
at 420 Layton Road.

721
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:16,080
Um there are three structures there.
There is a house that was built in 1904.

722
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:21,000
There's a
concrete block building that I'm just

723
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:26,000
guessing was used for golf course
maintenance or storage of carts or

724
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:31,880
something of that nature. It's currently
full of junk.

725
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:34,920
And then there's a small concrete um
structure at the back of the property

726
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:38,720
that
you know, I don't know, tool shed or

727
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:43,120
something of that nature. So,
um

728
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:46,360
Mr. Austin, Mr. Pickett, and myself met
with Schroyer

729
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:53,080
um
Demolition uh about 3 weeks ago to tour

730
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:58,400
the properties and for him to to uh
prepare an estimate for demolishing all

731
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:02,840
three structures, which would include
removing the foundations,

732
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:09,640
hauling everything away,
grading the the property, seeding it,

733
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:13,680
and straw putting straw down. So, that
when he's finished, you know, you'll

734
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:19,520
never know there was anything there.
The cost for uh his estimate was

735
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:24,560
$14,800.
We had previously received an estimate

736
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:29,080
from Rescue Demolition
uh for $29,800

737
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,320
for the same
uh

738
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,440
the removal.
So,

739
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:41,920
I think that um
it's obviously a tremendous eyesore. We

740
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:45,400
had a resident who lives across the
street on Layton Road, not in the town

741
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:50,040
of Edgewood,
who was present last meeting expressing

742
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:54,920
her concerns that this has been a topic
of discussion for several years.

743
00:49:52,440 --> 00:50:00,200
And I think most of us, if not all of
us, agree that we'd like to move forward

744
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:04,600
with this project with Schroyer, who by
the way does all of the city of

745
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:09,880
Anderson's demolition. So, we have an
idea of the quality of their work. Um

746
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:15,360
so, now the question becomes, you know,
where do we have the funds available to

747
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:19,000
move forward with the project?
And what I And one other thing I should

748
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:22,800
add, um
surprisingly,

749
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:27,320
even though it adjoins the golf course,
it is not town of Edgewood property.

750
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:32,920
It's city City of Anderson.
And Mr. Austin, as I recall, you

751
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:37,520
discussed the possibility of the the
city perhaps

752
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:43,520
utilizing funds available since it was
on city property, but there were not

753
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:46,840
» Correct. I just agreed with a complete
lack of complete lack of enthusiasm.

754
00:50:45,785 --> 00:50:50,720
» [laughter]
>> That's [clears throat] just not a

755
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:54,120
priority, obviously.
So,

756
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:59,200
um I think, you know, not only is it an
eyesore, I think you could argue that

757
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:04,360
it's a hazard. The the long rectangular
building that's filled with every kind

758
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:10,200
of junk you can think of is easily
accessible. Windows are gone, doors

759
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:15,040
gone. The house itself is secured and
locked. Um

760
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:19,440
and surprisingly is it Windows and
everything are still intact. Um but it's

761
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:24,560
something I think really needs to be
done best interest of the town and

762
00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:28,440
certainly the residents in the immediate
immediate area who have to look at that

763
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:33,280
every day.
>> Well, we've certainly met

764
00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:39,520
the requirement for getting multiple
estimates because we did receive two. Um

765
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:43,600
I did ask Ms. Tanner if she would be
prepared tonight to let us know whether

766
00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:47,400
or not we could find the funds to to
move forward.

767
00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:53,960
» We would to funds in the casino fund,
but just don't assign any more projects

768
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:58,120
for casino [clears throat] funds until
we build that back up.

769
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,040
» Okay.
>> But we do have it in the fund.

770
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:07,120
» Okay. I think moving forward with the
demolition is critical for us.

771
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:12,280
Because we cannot hold our residents
accountable for having their property

772
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:16,160
maintained, and we own property and it's
not being maintained. So, we've got to

773
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:18,400
set the example. So,
um

774
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:22,240
» That's a good question.
What would happen with that land then

775
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,800
once it's demo?
Are there any ideas since it's city of

776
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,880
Anderson, but yet
being looked at?

777
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:31,360
» It is the city of Anderson, but it is
owned by the town of Edgewood.

778
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:35,440
» Okay.
>> And it's part of the golf course

779
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:39,520
property. It's right next to the barn
where we we keep all the equipment. So,

780
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:42,440
it would probably just become more of
the golf course.

781
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:45,040
» So, the town of Edgewood would maintain
the the property then?

782
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:49,480
» The golf course would maintain the
property. Yeah. Yeah.

783
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:55,000
And I think it's worth noting that
that's an an additional enhancement to

784
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:58,520
the golf course and for people playing,
especially if we're looking for new

785
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:03,200
membership, they're not going to have to
drive by that mess that's there now. So.

786
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,960
» Okay.
>> Dale?

787
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:10,120
» There is a building here [clears throat]
at the rear of the property

788
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:13,800
that is that part of the property you're
taking down?

789
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:15,600
» Yes, that small white cinder block
building.

790
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:19,120
» No, it's on the back.
>> Yeah, way out the very back.

791
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:21,040
There's three properties on there and
they're going to take all three.

792
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,960
» Three buildings.
>> Three buildings, I'm sorry.

793
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,240
» This building's down.
>> They'll take whatever's there out.

794
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,280
» Cuz we
>> You're saying it's the one you guys took

795
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:32,160
down before?
>> Yeah, we cut the property department cut

796
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:35,160
it down and cut it in pieces and
It was a garage and that's where we

797
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,000
practiced.
>> We'll have to get with them cuz we

798
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,400
didn't see it out there. We didn't know.
It must have been covered up with the

799
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:44,080
weeds and stuff.
>> It Yeah, probably.

800
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:47,280
» Yeah, okay.
>> All right.

801
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:49,520
» We'll drag it out there.
>> Okay.

802
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:54,960
Do you have a motion
to want to move forward?

803
00:53:53,000 --> 00:54:00,800
» Yes, I would I'd like to make a motion
that we approve the estimate provided by

804
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:07,240
Schroyer Demolition in the amount of
$14,800

805
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:10,880
um to allow us to demolish all of the
structures on that particular parcel.

806
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,200
» Second.
>> Okay. Oh, you go first. You go.

807
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:19,640
» All right, it's been moved and properly
second that we move forward with the

808
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:23,120
demolition of property at 420 Layton
Road.

809
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:25,520
Any questions?
Hearing none, all in favor say I.

810
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,960
» I.
>> Those opposed same sign.

811
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:32,960
All right.
>> Okay.

812
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,880
» Motion passed. So, Mr. Faron
will

813
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,840
as building commissioner we'll leave
that up to you to

814
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,520
» I will.
>> resolve this issue.

815
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,360
» Yes.
>> Okay.

816
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:45,000
All right.
Um Mr. Faron, you had some other

817
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:49,520
concerns about
>> Yes. You know the there's a big burn

818
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:52,240
pile
on the opposite end

819
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,400
on the
south side of the golf course.

820
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,640
» Yes.
>> It's pretty I don't know.

821
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:02,480
» I've often wondered about
>> Yeah, and and fire regulations say that

822
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:07,720
we're supposed to burn in a
contained area and that's open and it's

823
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,280
really not very pretty.
>> No.

824
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,040
» So, I don't know.
>> call me

825
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,720
» I'm sorry.
>> Chuck would always call me say, "I'm

826
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:17,160
going to burn this."
He in the past he has.

827
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,233
» Well,
>> and it's it's quite a bad pile.

828
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,480
And then we would be aware
[clears throat] that it's burning and

829
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:27,120
you know and
be ready to go if anything happened.

830
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:30,240
» I yeah, I just it doesn't look
>> From what you're saying from what you're

831
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:33,320
saying it's not aesthetic from what
you're saying is Chuck has called you in

832
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:38,080
the past when he's going to burn. So, I
guess we just need to coordinate and if

833
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:40,240
we have to knock that down that pile
down a little bit and burn part of it

834
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:45,480
and
>> Well,

835
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:50,440
if it's that much of an eyesore,
then

836
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:55,400
it and if it and if it's not if it's not
contained the way our ordinance reads,

837
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:58,920
then I would say we should probably have
a have a water truck sitting out there

838
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:02,000
while he's burning it.
>> I agree and I think we also might

839
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:06,040
consider
moving the location of debris because

840
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:10,760
» Yeah, it's right there.
>> right in the you know, in between number

841
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:14,160
nine and 10 fairways,
it's terrible eyesore. I never could

842
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,320
understand
why that spot was selected. So, I think

843
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:22,000
a
a more

844
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:25,720
isolated area maybe over by the
maintenance barn or somewhere behind a

845
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,200
structure where it's
it's not an eyesore.

846
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,008
» Maybe in the backyard of that house over
there.

847
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,640
» Well,
>> [laughter]

848
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,640
» maybe. We own the property.

849
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:42,680
» I spoke to Chuck just last week about
this and he's got plans to make it to do

850
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:46,320
the burn.
He's just waiting for the weather to the

851
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:50,440
the wind to cut down and all that. And
and where it's at, honestly, is is as

852
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:53,280
wide open as you can get.
>> Yeah, that's true.

853
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:57,560
» The only the other places on the golf
course that are isolated are too close

854
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,960
to residents.
>> Okay.

855
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,240
» Yeah, I did a burn this week because of
the

856
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:04,379
» But but
but our ordinance definitely calls for

857
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:08,800
us having a water source.
[clears throat] Yeah, so I would say we

858
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:11,880
should probably have a fire truck
standing by.

859
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:15,360
» Elias is gone.
>> Okay.

860
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,360
Right.

861
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:23,520
Okay.
Can you talk to him and then ask him to

862
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,440
make sure he reaches out? Okay, thank
you.

863
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,520
All right.
Anything else, Mr. Payne?

864
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,040
» No.
>> Okay.

865
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:33,400
Mr. Pickens.
>> Uh

866
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:38,680
I just got one thing. I spoke to Don a
little bit the other day when we had the

867
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:42,480
the big winds and trees falling and we
were cutting limbs up out in the street

868
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:48,760
and dragging them out because it was in
front of my house. And uh

869
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:52,240
they had uh trash cans over at the park
on Winding Way that blew over

870
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:57,080
and [clears throat] dumped their
contents throughout the basketball goal

871
00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:02,840
area, the basketball court, and the
tennis courts. Well, the problem is that

872
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:06,200
predominantly the contents would be
waste from animals when people are

873
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:10,240
walking. They take their little bag and
tie it up and throw in there.

874
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:14,480
And I went, "Oh, you know, to tell you
the truth we need a a a couple of waste

875
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:18,560
stations
where people have the opportunity to

876
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:22,440
throw that waste
and get that done and then we can dump

877
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:26,400
those out. And that way it's not in the
trash cans, it doesn't blow away, it's

878
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:31,920
on a pole that's in the ground. And then
talking with Don today it actually would

879
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:36,240
provide part of our service. Would you
like to speak on that?

880
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:38,920
» Yeah, I'll I'll do that.
>> I know. I was going to

881
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,680
» Remind me. I forgot about that earlier.
Um one of the things

882
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:45,920
uh
with my job also is uh

883
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:50,160
storm water. So, we always have to deal
with storm water and all the issues that

884
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:54,800
come along with that. Um one of the
things with our our meeting that we had

885
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:59,640
today is is we have to do uh public
outreach. So, one of the things we have

886
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:03,160
to we have to have three uh documents on
file and I'm going to get those to Rob

887
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:09,120
and he's going to have those on the
website. So, any resident can

888
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:13,960
click on that and find that out. Also,
um they want to do we have to do

889
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:19,120
outreach programs. Well, if we put these
little stations in then we can we can

890
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:24,200
either put like our uh website on the
side of it or we can have a a QR code on

891
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:29,560
it and then they can go straight to the
storm water section and they can look up

892
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:33,240
all the different things. Storm water
can get very very picky as well. As a

893
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:36,520
matter of fact,
it doesn't make any sense to me, but one

894
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,680
of the two of the things that they want
is they want to make sure that nobody's

895
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:45,040
washing their car in their driveway.
They say that's almost illegal.

896
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:49,200
They don't want soap going down into the
just the storm drain.

897
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:52,000
Um another thing is is at the annual
meeting last year, I don't know if you

898
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:57,280
remember them talking about, but they
wanted residents to pick up their dog in

899
00:59:54,880 --> 01:00:01,240
their own personal yards. And I thought
that was a little ridiculous cuz what

900
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:05,960
are we doing with the natural animals?
We have animals where who's picking up

901
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:10,240
after them? But these are these are the
types of things that we had

902
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:15,200
Patty goes to and Catherine and I go to
to listen to and we got to have so many

903
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:19,640
hours of this. So this is some of the
other stuff that we got to do. So if we

904
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:23,440
get those put in, which
as long as the residents use them, I'll

905
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:27,120
be happy to install them cuz like I said
up here when it rains, all there's a

906
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:31,360
nice slurry in the bottom of those.
>> Well, that's the those yeah, those the

907
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:35,040
ones that were we put are the metal
containers that are breathable

908
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:39,320
and we'll have a bag in there and
they'll just be pull the bag and dump.

909
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:42,600
And I know I'll appreciate when I'm
walking the dog and I don't have to

910
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:46,200
carry it around all the way home.
>> Oh, they don't they'll find a they'll

911
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:49,480
find a trash can to put it in.
>> Um they ain't taking it. So are you

912
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:52,000
talking about strategically placing them
in all the parks?

913
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:56,000
» Yes.
Yes.

914
01:00:53,440 --> 01:01:01,040
» That's a good idea. Okay.
>> I did uh

915
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:05,080
do a quick perusal. We're looking at 200
to 300 dollars a pole

916
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:08,440
for those. So
>> Which we should have that in the parks

917
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:12,120
budget.
>> Right.

918
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:14,080
» Shouldn't be that shouldn't uh that
shouldn't affect us much.

919
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:17,640
» All right, are you going to do some more
research and bring us back a proposal?

920
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:20,440
» Yeah, I'll I'll do that and I'll bring
it back a proposal on the total cost and

921
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,280
the number.
>> Okay.

922
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:26,240
» And then we're good to go. Didn't it
have in our

923
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:29,280
kind of I don't know what to call them,
the rules for Edgewood,

924
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,720
that you're not even supposed to have
dogs in the park?

925
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:35,440
» You're not.
Where we'd put them we wouldn't put them

926
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:39,800
in the park themselves, we would put
them on the right next to the street. So

927
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:43,680
as the people are walking down like if
you're walking down Winding Way

928
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:48,120
and you can just dump it right there.
And it wouldn't be in like on Winding

929
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:51,960
Way, we definitely wouldn't put them
right next to the basketball court or

930
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:56,560
right next to the shelter house or even
at Redwood Park we wouldn't put it right

931
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:59,480
next to where all the the kids will
play. We want to put it a little bit

932
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:03,080
out, but we have to put it on community
property somewhere

933
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:06,160
unless anybody wants to volunteer their
house.

934
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:11,040
Me [clears throat] neither.
>> As far as far as dogs being in the park,

935
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:15,480
you know, when when it uh
in the summertime when when people are

936
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:19,840
really out, you you actually see very
very few people with their dog out in

937
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:22,720
the park. These are These are mainly the
uh

938
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,720
» Yeah.

939
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,440
» Okay.

940
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,960
All right, that's all. Anything else?
Okay.

941
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:34,760
Mr. Austin.
>> Uh pretty quiet on the legal front. I

942
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:39,480
did [clears throat] talk to Todd Fisher,
the city

943
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:43,320
uh building commissioner about the
possibility of providing funds for the

944
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:48,480
demolition of Latins.
And basically I was told that

945
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:50,160
that uh they they would consider
demolition, but they would charge

946
01:02:49,580 --> 01:02:54,960
[clears throat]
the town for everything they would do.

947
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:59,040
So there at one time there were blight
elimination funds.

948
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:03,800
That was a federal program. And I think
there were substantial dollars allocated

949
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:08,400
to the city for blight elimination
projects, but those funds are no longer

950
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,960
available. So there's no opportunity
like that. So hence,

951
01:03:09,873 --> 01:03:13,920
» [snorts]
>> you know, proceeding with our own funds

952
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:18,320
uh for that demolition. But that's
that's an excellent price and that

953
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:22,280
contractor comes highly recommended. So
I think that's a good way to proceed. So

954
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:25,440
good good work everybody in that.
And nothing further. Thank you.

955
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:28,280
» Okay.
All right.

956
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,360
Mr. Servis, you're back up.
>> I don't have anything additional

957
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,440
tonight.
>> Okay.

958
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:36,720
All right.
Ms. Tanner, clerk's report.

959
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:54,420
» The only thing I have is that most of
you know my deputy court treasurer and

960
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:57,760
my accounting clerk are going to retire
[clears throat] at the end of April.

961
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:02,960
And
Mr. Pickett was kind enough to help

962
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:07,440
along with some town employees. We did
post the jobs on our website, social

963
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:12,520
media,
and we also put it on indeed. And we did

964
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:17,560
have several applicants.
And Mr. Pickett and myself interviewed

965
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:22,200
these various people. And we were able
to narrow it down to two people.

966
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:25,200
And we both agreed and we offered them
the positions.

967
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:28,400
And
we're going to be doing a background

968
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:32,880
check. And I don't want to give the
names out until there's not a problem

969
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:36,880
with the background check. But they plan
to start around April 6th to do

970
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:42,640
training.
And they both seem qualified to be able

971
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:45,960
to pick up on the job tasks. And I think
I think they'll be good employees for

972
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:49,040
the town.
That's

973
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,744
» Um the background check going to be done
through

974
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,000
» Chad.
>> [clears throat]

975
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,680
» Chad.
>> Yes.

976
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,680
» Okay.

977
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,240
» Does anyone have any questions?

978
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:01,680
Okay.

979
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:13,320
» Mr. Daniels, did you ever get your
application turned in?

980
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:17,120
» No, I still have it here now.
>> Okay.

981
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:21,560
» Do I just submit it to Jen?
>> No,

982
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:21,560
give it to Ms. Tanner.

983
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:31,120
All right.
Okay, old business.

984
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,120
Anybody have any old business?

985
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:38,040
Okay,
I have two.

986
01:05:36,595 --> 01:05:43,600
» [clears throat]
>> Julie Armington Memorial, we had talked

987
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:46,640
about doing something in honor of her
memory.

988
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:51,960
Where where we at with that?
>> Actually, I had spoken to her daughter

989
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:56,200
and her son. They want to plant a tree
and they've talked to Chuck about it, so

990
01:05:53,560 --> 01:06:00,680
that they don't want a lot of
showy stuff or a plaque because she was

991
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:04,480
not like that. So, they're going to have
a tree planted sometime

992
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:07,720
this spring.
>> Okay, in one of the parks?

993
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:10,920
» Well, no.
On the golf course.

994
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:14,240
» Yeah, that's right. golf course Yeah,
that's her love you.

995
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:17,520
Okay.
Okay.

996
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:22,680
All right.
No,

997
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:27,120
cuz we already talked about Layton Road.
Okay.

998
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,120
Any other old business?

999
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:31,520
» Do you want to talk about the time
meeting time?

1000
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,400
» That's under new business.
>> It's new business. Never mind.

1001
01:06:32,925 --> 01:06:39,040
» [laughter]
>> I think we addressed it before.

1002
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,040
» Any other old business?

1003
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:44,440
Okay, new business.
All right.

1004
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:50,240
Um
in our executive session

1005
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:54,960
couple of weeks ago
the members of the council

1006
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:58,840
we talked about the possibility of
moving our meeting time from 5:00 to

1007
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:03,760
6:00.
Um

1008
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:07,760
and we think that by moving the time
from 5:00 to 6:00 it would give

1009
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:12,600
obviously would give more of our
residents an opportunity to get home

1010
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:18,120
from work, get situated,
and and attend our sessions. And it

1011
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:22,080
would also help us as well. Um
so,

1012
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:27,840
unless there's some objection,
probably starting in April, we will move

1013
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:33,200
our meeting time to 6:00.
Uh same day of the month, um but instead

1014
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:38,080
of 5:00, it will be 6:00. Now, I know
that probably we'll run a foul of the

1015
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:42,680
fire department because you guys
you have your meeting at 6:00. Yeah.

1016
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:48,000
And to be honest with you, we talked
about that. I didn't even think about

1017
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:50,360
the fact that you guys met at 6:00 on
Monday.

1018
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:54,920
So.
My apologies.

1019
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,920
Okay.

1020
01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:01,800
Any members I mean any residents see any
objections to that? You see

1021
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,600
What are you smiling for, Brian?

1022
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,560
» You know.

1023
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:18,240
» Okay. All right. So,
with no objection then April we'll start

1024
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:23,000
our meetings at 6:00. And then Mr.
Okay?

1025
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:26,480
» Sounds good.
>> All right. Any other new business?

1026
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:32,279
All right.
Okay. We'll move on to comments and

1027
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:35,160
questions.
Um

1028
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:39,200
if you have any comments and questions,
I would ask that you would keep them to

1029
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:44,240
two to three minutes.
And depending on the question that you

1030
01:08:41,759 --> 01:08:48,560
might pose tonight, it's a possibility
that you might not get an answer uh

1031
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:52,480
because we may not be in a position to
be able to to to give you an answer, but

1032
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:57,560
you certainly will get one within a
reasonable time frame. So, with that, I

1033
01:08:54,640 --> 01:09:02,560
will open the floor up for any of our
guests who have any questions or or

1034
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,560
comments.

1035
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:12,880
Hearing none?
Okay.

1036
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:15,640
All right.
Then we'll move on to

1037
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:19,839
approval of the minutes of the February
Council meeting.

1038
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:22,279
» Move that the minutes be approved as

» Those opposed?

1047
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:53,200
Mr. Pierce, um thank you.
Um we appreciate that you're obviously a

1048
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:56,120
man of your word because when we met,
you know, you said that you would be

1049
01:09:54,480 --> 01:10:00,040
here tonight and so we we certainly
appreciate that. And hopefully with us

something great to me. And I'll try to

>> Okay. Well, our our meetings are always

1054
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,720
open to you. You're always welcome.
Okay.

1055
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:15,600
All right.
Hearing none, I will entertain a motion

1056
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:19,360
to adjourn.
>> So moved.

1057
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:21,640
» I would like to
move that we adjourn.
