Madam Chair, >> um do we have anything to revise or 24 00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:59,520 approve of the agenda? >> Not really. Um there was something the 25 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,600 council referred to us at the previous council meeting, so I called it old 26 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,600 business, but otherwise 27 00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:15,520 » So there there needs to be a motion to approve the agenda. 28 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,760 » Okay. I motion to approve the agenda. I'll second. 29 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:27,800 All in favor? >> I I 30 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,120 » All right.

Any old business you want to follow up on? 33 00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:49,599 » Is there any old business you want to follow up on? Thank you. 34 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:55,360 So, the at the city council meeting, we were going to uh prepare a community 35 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,440 event preparation checklist. >> Yeah. 36 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,680 » And I'm assuming we're going to do that today or start on it. 37 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,720 » Yeah, we start on it. Uh the idea is to figure out what things should the city 38 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,879 plan on doing before there is an event downtown. Um I think uh some ideas. 39 00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:13,920 » You have some ideas. >> I'm all ears. 40 00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:20,319 » Well, things definitely need to be weeded. 41 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:25,200 just before events, but um cleaned up, the trash needs picked up, our red 42 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:30,640 garbage cans need to be changed. >> Um so I I mentioned before the last 43 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,000 council meeting that to have possibly a school organization um paint the tops of 44 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,920 those cans. >> I love that idea. 45 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,680 » Um to add a little bit of art to town because I've been a big pusher of art 46 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:46,959 and it gives the opportunity to make one each different. 47 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:52,000 » Nice. Yeah, I like that a lot. So, um, obviously we need to make sure that the 48 00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:56,640 trees are pruned so that they're safe. >> What about the street sweat? 49 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,439 » No, this is for parks. >> Oh, 50 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,480 » well, it's downtown. I mean, yeah, street sweeping. 51 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,200 » It's more like the I've tried so many times to get money for street. 52 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,680 » Someday someday the billionaires in DC will stop logging in each time. 53 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,000 » The trees so you can walk down the side. And 54 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:21,280 » yeah. Um, so we need to obviously there's no reason our 55 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,759 public works can't use a leaf blower and clean off the sidewalks and 56 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,759 um we 57 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:37,040 obviously the lawns need mow. I mean general maintenance on things is 58 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:46,880 not reaching for the stars. is the upkeep of the city uh areas uh something 59 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:52,400 that the uh public works already has uh on their list of things to do so that 60 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,759 » you don't need to do like a special thing 61 00:04:53,040 --> 00:05:00,080 » like a maintenance list instead of just doing it like 62 00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:03,759 » yeah like one big thing just doing it like regularly monthly or something just 63 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,039 to go over >> maybe somebody drives through and really 64 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:12,720 likes our area without a big event. >> Yeah, I like that idea. 65 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,039 » It's a fascinating question. Doesn't have a good answer. 66 00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:18,400 » Well, because we don't have job descriptions right now. 67 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,840 » So, yeah. So, three years ago, the city adopted new job descriptions across the 68 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:28,320 whole entire system for everybody who is here. Um, that included public works and 69 00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:31,600 our understanding was the public works job descriptions we had on hand included 70 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,960 maintenance of all city properties. There is one dedicated maintenance 71 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,720 person and that is all he does. Whereas public works maintains the water and the 72 00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:41,759 sewer and the streets, we had an understanding based on those job 73 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,000 descriptions that this was part of their job as well. However, uh turns out all 74 00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:49,759 the job descriptions that were rewritten three years ago were simply lost. 75 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,000 They're all gone. They weren't put in people's personnel files. They had been 76 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,600 signed by city employees. They had been signed by two members of city council 77 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,479 each and whoever was running the city government at the time administratively 78 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,840 gone. >> We don't know what happened to it. So to 79 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,759 answer your question, there are new job descriptions being 80 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,720 » written up and they will be signed. But as of right now, no. 81 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:16,400 » Is anybody saying it's not my job? >> No, that's not what we're getting. It's 82 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,360 the one person whose job it definitively is. 83 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,000 » Um is also stretched a little bit right now. 84 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,880 » Um our ordinance officer's position was changed a few months ago so that they 85 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,000 spend they're allowed to spend half their time on other public works 86 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:32,000 projects and they have been helping out with maintenance. Um that's been very 87 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,039 helpful. We've also got uh the kids of the Oregon Youth Authority come by and 88 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:39,440 help with maintenance uh when that needs to happen. 89 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:45,440 » Good. So, in answer, this is simply to make sure when we have the rodeo or 90 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:49,759 riverfest or Sasquatch Festival or downtown Trickor Treat that we have a 91 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:54,160 checklist that they are required to go make sure those things are done and they 92 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:59,120 are in good working order or you know, little league um parade or whatever that 93 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,880 we don't have weeds growing, we don't have. But wouldn't that be the 94 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:07,520 responsibility of the department manager rather than 95 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,440 » Well, that is why we're putting a checklist together so that there is 96 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,639 accountability to make sure that those things are in fact followed through. 97 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,160 » Well, and I like Dorian's plan that it is a monthly thing because we were hit 98 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,440 last minute with the little league thing. um our dates, you know, we're 99 00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:29,440 still trying to solidify things for other events. And um I think if we did 100 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,160 it, if we made it part of the job description, they just check these 101 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:37,360 things. We're not worrying about standing decks last minute or having 102 00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:40,880 people go in and um weedy. I mean, even though it was weeded the one time, Tony 103 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,120 still went in with his weed eater and weed eat it afterwards. Like uh I'm 104 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:49,680 talking specifically about Witty Park. So I I think if we get our checklist it 105 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,160 may make it a monthly thing. Even if it's something that they don't have to 106 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,280 do every month at least something's being checked off and they can say I 107 00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:00,240 just did this after >> like a universal seasonal kind of thing. 108 00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:03,520 So some things that they do during one season they don't necessarily have to do 109 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,919 it like on >> well and part of one of the arguments 110 00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:12,479 for a street sweeper was the fact that things would were building up on the 111 00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:17,520 streets and going into the drains causing things with our water. And so if 112 00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:21,360 we were able to maintain that monthly in a way, we wouldn't have to worry about 113 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,759 that so much in the main roads. >> Yeah, I like that idea. 114 00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:30,879 » I think they also wanted some kind of protocol on what streets would be closed 115 00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:34,800 and how we would know and who would do that, who would be responsible for that. 116 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:40,479 Is there a way that we could put something like that on like the website 117 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:45,680 uh like on our city website when we do have events like what streets will be 118 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:50,959 closed and so people can also find out if they go on our website the events 119 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:56,000 we're having the road closures the you know just in general 120 00:08:53,600 --> 00:09:01,120 accessibility and where it it will and won't happen and the routes around 121 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:07,040 just something like a map basically just to put you know So even though yes 122 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:11,920 monthly ideally this stuff will be done, it is nice to have a checklist just for 123 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:16,640 events. Is the power working at Whitty Park? 124 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:21,360 » Is you know are things weeded? Is Linda not having to mow around Whitty Park? Do 125 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:25,680 we not have to have volunteers down at others? Are the signs kept up? Like is 126 00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:30,000 something missing? Is there graffiti? Let's do it a week before. Make sure 127 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:34,080 that everything is in tiptop shape. Go above and beyond for those events. Well, 128 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,120 it might the the only argument I still have with the monthly is if we find 129 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,240 those things, there's still protocol with the city. If it's something that 130 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:44,399 has to be done, we have to vote on it, be able to vote on it. 131 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:50,399 » So, like if we do something monthly, if I mean checking an outlet is as easy as 132 00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:53,120 putting up a you know, like a can't think of the word. 133 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:58,000 » A you know what you're talking about. >> Yes. Anyway, but you know what I mean, 134 00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:02,080 we could do that. Um there's the it's bit no matter what we do, Linda's going 135 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,080 to be moaning. So then we should just not mess with this and let city council 136 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,320 handle it in the job descriptions. >> I think we still 137 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:16,959 » that because I ran a department for years and when my boss said this is what 138 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:21,920 we need that was my responsibility >> write it, have it ready to go, present 139 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:27,279 it to the higherups and they would yay or nay and then I had something 140 00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:32,160 substantial that I could use uh when it came time for their reviews. Mhm. 141 00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:37,440 » So, so >> I'm going to refer to administration 142 00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:41,680 here. Is this something that should be a city council matter where they because 143 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:45,440 you are creating new job descriptions that just happens and it's a monthly 144 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:51,680 checklist that would actually fall in your department of being the boss or do 145 00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:54,800 we want as a committee to come up with something that we as the committee want 146 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,640 to >> Yeah. Can't you as a committee come up 147 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:03,120 with something and then have it added to it and they can yeah adjust it or add to 148 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,880 it or whatnot? >> So your thoughts as administrator? 149 00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:13,200 » It makes up both things. I think the council does like the idea of having a 150 00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:17,440 checklist and a policy that's in place so we prepared for events or having some 151 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:22,000 timeline on our end so that we know when an event is happening. Um I know for 152 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:27,440 Sasquatch Festival for example, I got the formal map of road closures. I think 153 00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:30,800 a week and a half before the event. So, and unfortunately the map that I got was 154 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,160 like twice as large as there was actually. So, I was putting stuff all 155 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,640 over the place like well this is the road closure that was approved like 156 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,720 that's not where it's supposed to be. Okay. So, um in the future, you know, 157 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,839 there'll be more detail to go over it with the applicant to make sure yes, 158 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:48,959 this is actually where you want it to be. Um 30 days is usually a good 159 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:52,000 benchmark for us to know that something is coming and we can get things 160 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,160 prepared. We can get staff assigned to be there on the weekend helping. 161 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,279 » Okay. >> So, there used to be an application 162 00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:00,720 view. >> There is. Yeah. So, 163 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:05,760 » just not using them or we are >> the the we had some problems with 164 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,800 a couple of things that lack of communication or not. 165 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,880 » I'm not pointing fingers, but it was James' responsibility to do the street 166 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:16,000 closures. Just as much. >> So, 167 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:18,639 » just put them on blast. Okay. >> I'm calling 168 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,720 you out. >> They're not calling anybody out. So, uh, 169 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:29,200 you would like to have a preparation checklist that we so that they can be 170 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:34,000 the city council can vote on it just specifically for events. So, and then 171 00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:36,880 you can work on through the city council the monthly checklist of job 172 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,760 descriptions. >> Yeah. And basically what we're we're 173 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,639 doing here is making a recommendation to the council of things that should be on 174 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,120 the checklist so that there can be a formal policy put in place that says in 175 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:51,279 a lead up to an event if we get this amount of lead time we can guarantee 176 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:55,519 » these things are done. Okay. So yeah ladies sorry gentlemen what would you 177 00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:00,079 like that to include? Let's make a list. >> So we have Henderson Park. 178 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:04,480 » Well so the sorry >> is so I I'm thinking of street signs. So 179 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:09,040 the Henderson Park or not street signs but welcome to Elgen signs. 180 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:13,920 It's the Pacific Pride. >> Yeah, it's that way. 181 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,720 » But I don't know if it's not ours. Yeah, >> that's not city. 182 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,200 » But we do have the Lions Club. >> Yeah, it's the Lions Club. 183 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:21,760 » No, it actually doesn't belong to the Lions Club 184 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:26,079 » in anymore. >> No, Henderson Park doesn't. They That's 185 00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:33,519 the one down by the Stampede Grounds or the Logard, right? No, it's owned by the 186 00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:36,880 fuel thing over in Pendleton. They own that and it's maintained by them. But we 187 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,040 do have a sign though. >> Okay. 188 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,480 » Well, I'm just thinking we need to make sure our signs are trimmed and mowed. No 189 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:48,880 weeds. >> So, Nicholas signs 190 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:54,639 » and trimmed and mowed because we do trim and mow that. Actually, um Oh my gosh, 191 00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:00,399 why can't I think of her name? Uh Jessica's sister, 192 00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:04,639 uh Darcy mows that. She maintains that. Um but I mean there's no reason they 193 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:10,160 can't stop and look at that sign. So, signs trimmed and mowed. What else we 194 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:15,680 got? >> I think the streets need to be u well 195 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:20,880 marked like she said a map or something because uh you know maybe you have 196 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:26,880 different streets shut for different activities and um that can be confusing 197 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,959 for some. So, I think if we do a heads up with that. 198 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:36,199 » Okay. Um, I do definitely think that the parks themselves need to be mowed and 199 00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:36,199 weeded 200 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:44,480 and maybe leaves if you know depending on the time of year. 201 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:49,600 Can I suggest like putting something out to the public too? Like Pride and Elgen 202 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:54,720 or whatever. You're responsible for your sidewalk and your easements, you know, 203 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:58,000 in the alleyways event coming. >> Ordinance too though. 204 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:02,720 » And then I was about to say add the ordinance piece to that. Ordinance 205 00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:08,079 officers would like to are going to be pushing to make sure that your trees are 206 00:15:04,959 --> 00:15:10,959 not overhanging to make sure trimmed. We need the trees trimmed 207 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:15,440 » because I think that the tree trimming and the weeding along the sidewalk is 208 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,959 the homeowner's responsibilities. >> Um 209 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:23,120 I don't think the weeding on the sidewalk is 210 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:26,720 » Whose is is that the responsibility? >> The weeding on the sidewalk 211 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:31,680 » if there's any house. >> Um yeah, some of it depends on who the 212 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:36,240 owner is. Um >> we're mainly talking about parks, our 213 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:40,000 parks and our sidewalks. >> Well, the 214 00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:45,040 street because we have Yeah, we have people 215 00:15:42,079 --> 00:15:50,160 using the RV park down at Cedar. We've got Main Street in use with downtown 216 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:53,920 restaurants and gas station and so that main road and I would say even highway 217 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:58,800 204 being the main road, but we also have to consider like we have sports 218 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:03,920 sendoffs and stuff too. So, I don't know how detailed we want to get with events. 219 00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:07,839 Uh Dollar Dollar General. I was gonna ask you, Alex, did they ever get their 220 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,000 weeds under control? Fantastic. 221 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,959 » It's getting bad again, though. >> James and someone else went down there 222 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,279 and took care of it. >> Oh, did they? 223 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:19,120 » They went down and we did it. James and one of the kids went down there and 224 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,680 handled it. >> So, how do we take care of that? 225 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,279 » What? >> Them taking care of their 226 00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:28,959 » complain. I think it looks great. The spring are growing every evening and 227 00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:32,399 it's green. I thought it looks great. I walked down there and I 228 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:36,720 » we have to keep complaining I think in order for Dollar General from what 229 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:42,000 Thomas said in order for Dollar General to keep maintaining their facilities. Is 230 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,720 that am I correct? That's basically >> people. 231 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,839 » Okay. So, what we have is >> storm 232 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:53,199 » signs trimmed around signs trimmed and mowed well 233 00:16:50,079 --> 00:16:56,720 marked streets mode the parks mowed and weedated leaf blow if we need to do that 234 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,839 depending on the time >> vandalism and electrical out that might 235 00:16:59,199 --> 00:17:04,559 be >> freeze trimmed uh blow the sidewalks we 236 00:17:02,959 --> 00:17:07,679 all they all have leaf blowers they can do that 237 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:12,640 » check for vandalism too. Yeah. Vandalism. Any do we want to say like if 238 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:18,400 something needs maintained to fix maintain it like we lost some lattice 239 00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:23,880 off of the stage it needed to be put back on like those kind of things. Is 240 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,880 that something 241 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:29,919 » the thing? So that that's one of those things I was talking about because we 242 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:33,360 can't just >> fix those. It's funding that we have 243 00:17:31,679 --> 00:17:35,120 » right but they can at least pick it up off the ground and 244 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:40,240 » right >> move it. 245 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:44,880 you know, keep it neat. Yeah. Well represented. 246 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:49,840 » Can our Can we have ordinance check with business owners that haven't maintained 247 00:17:47,679 --> 00:17:52,640 things like you know >> there's seeds downtown? 248 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,200 » Yeah. >> I don't want to call them out, but it 249 00:17:53,919 --> 00:17:59,520 looks terrible sometimes. >> The one by the high school. 250 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,679 » Oh, >> yes. There's weeds all over that parking 251 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:06,960 lot down there. Um >> that parking lot across the street the 252 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,400 when you're look when you're looking at the parking lots for the high school 253 00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:13,280 from >> so 254 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,679 » the high school itself the right parking lot seems to have a lot of 255 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:19,200 » that's the cities >> that is the city 256 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:24,080 » yes that's needs to have some gravel filled in there sir 257 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,720 » that's that will hopefully come with new >> new new job descriptions 258 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:31,200 » and I don't think it's maintained because it's not budgeted and it's not 259 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,840 they're just allowing the high school from my understanding to the park. Yeah. 260 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,400 Yeah. >> We talking about the the parking lot. 261 00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:40,640 » Yeah. >> Yeah. That's fun. That's actually um 262 00:18:39,679 --> 00:18:43,520 that is uh >> that's what we want to make our future 263 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,400 skate park. >> Yeah. Let's see. So, it's the land 264 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,760 itself is residential. So, it's supposed to be used for housing. 265 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,160 » Mhm. >> It's been used as a parking lot forever. 266 00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:57,120 Public works for the county used it and then we bought it and we've just let it 267 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:03,760 be a public parking lot. >> Can we make vacation housing? the P or 268 00:18:59,919 --> 00:19:06,000 the county used a residential lot for >> they did. 269 00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:09,679 » Yeah. So >> that's where they kept their 270 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:13,600 » this fun thing called a pre-existing grandfathered use where I'm going to 271 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:18,960 guess the county had it as a lot before the 1970s when Oregon's atrocious land 272 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:22,960 use maps were put in place. So because it was there then it could stay there 273 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:26,000 now still on parking lot. So, the idea is that when things change hands or 274 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:30,799 there's a disruption at the property, like something burns down, you have like 275 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:36,080 x amount of time to um >> put a request in 276 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:41,600 » to uh to keep the same pre-existing grandfathered use unless 277 00:19:39,919 --> 00:19:44,880 um yeah, you have you have a certain amount of time to maintain the 278 00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:48,160 pre-existing grandfathered use. So, like if there's a house in the business zone 279 00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:52,880 and the house burns down within I think it's 18 months, you can rebuild the 280 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:56,000 house in the business zone. Um, if it's more than 18 months, then you can't 281 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,840 build that house. Even if you got half the house built, you got to take it down 282 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,640 and turn it into >> So, but that's that's listed as 283 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,640 residential. I mean, >> it's all residential. 284 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,600 » So, but we're getting a little off topic, but I was just saying that's our 285 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,640 future. Uh, >> I know, right? I mean, there's so many 286 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,360 things you could do with that. We could look at the residential 287 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:17,440 over there. >> Back to this the preparation checklist. 288 00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:21,200 Is this just for like where the event is going to be held or is it are we making 289 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:24,320 it accountable for >> I think the main roads 290 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:28,320 » the the main >> coming in and out of town you're going 291 00:20:25,919 --> 00:20:32,640 to come down to the park and cool off. I think making the public involved I think 292 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:38,960 is important too like >> look these are you know have their town 293 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:43,679 it's all enforcement reminder this is code enforcement you are required to 294 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:47,200 maintain. So it sounds good in theory, but getting them to do it in practice as 295 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,760 a whole. >> Yeah. Getting them to do it now to what 296 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:57,520 makes you think they'll do it now? >> Reminding that code enforcement is 297 00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:02,320 » reminded all the But as the city does more and we 298 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:10,400 start doing more, I think naturally pride takes over and and things start 299 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:16,720 happening because it what if go ahead? >> There's a couple routes we can go with 300 00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:20,799 this. So I I while I understand all fronts, I think it is our due diligence 301 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,919 to keep reminding them even though we do because you know I I know understand 302 00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:27,919 that's beating a dead horse, but sometimes you got to beaten it a 303 00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:33,120 different way and then What we can do as a chamber is organize 304 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,520 » a volunteer group, >> volunteer cleanup days. 305 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:43,039 » When I had when I had um when when we were still working on another committee 306 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:48,159 on some other issues, I had recommended creating a volunteer group called Elgen 307 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:52,240 Steps Up in order to help try and build the community and see if people would 308 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:57,039 actually get involved. >> Well, and that's, you know, that's where 309 00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:01,360 again, get the community involved. Um, that was actually brought up by Cindy 310 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,760 during one of our last Sasquatch meetings. She wanted to organize a group 311 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:10,159 to do a downtown cleanup cuz he used to do that and we told her no because it 312 00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:14,240 was like less than two 3 weeks before the event. We're like there's no way we 313 00:22:11,679 --> 00:22:17,919 can do that but let's consider it in the future. So maybe that's something we can 314 00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:23,679 shake on as a chamber. We can also remind those downtown businesses to 315 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:28,480 » So I'm okay with the downtown business but I am not approaching citizens. No, 316 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:32,400 that but that because that is a so I think that is something we can work on 317 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:37,520 together and if people participate they don't and if they do they do and then um 318 00:22:35,679 --> 00:22:41,039 we were just talking at city council the other night about 319 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,720 » being a little more strict on the code >> enforcement. Mhm. 320 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,440 » So so >> that carrot and the stick there's the 321 00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:50,720 stick of the orphans sky coming and whacking Yeah. But we've got this guard 322 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:56,559 of the month program now. >> Yes. And it's working great. Yeah. It is 323 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:59,360 there any meat behind code enforcement? >> Yes, now there is. 324 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,760 » Oh, yeah. >> We can actually make them pay the fines 325 00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:03,120 and stuff. >> Okay. 326 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,960 » Yep. >> So, you're not approaching them like 327 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:10,320 that like with a stick and fine just like hey, let's have some pride in the 328 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,120 community and then it's almost a little bit embarrassing like when your 329 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:17,520 neighbor's like, "Hey, you know, it's code for you to keep that cleaned up." 330 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:21,120 Just a reminder, reminding people you are responsible for this. 331 00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:27,360 » My neighbors don't care. I know >> I live by a certain area that doesn't 332 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:32,240 » and unfortunately we have a very very large rental market here where most 333 00:23:29,919 --> 00:23:36,080 people rent. There's usually more pride >> landlords. 334 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:42,799 » So it's landlords. So you get into that very tricky situation, but you as a 335 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:45,520 citizen could 100% keep posting. Let's take some pride in our thing. We have 336 00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:48,960 this event coming >> city reminding people. Well, and it's 337 00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:51,760 not that they're not going to >> I'm not asking the chamber to do it. 338 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,840 This is a city. >> Yeah. But I'm just saying we can work 339 00:23:53,200 --> 00:24:02,559 together to make this happen. >> What I have for the checklist is signs 340 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:07,760 trim to mowed, well marked streets, mowed and weed at our parks. Um leaf 341 00:24:05,679 --> 00:24:14,799 blower if we need it, the trees trimmed, sidewalks blown off. um check for 342 00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:19,120 vandalism and ordinance check in with well businesses and citizens 343 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,840 before a big event. >> Yeah. 344 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:26,000 » Um so there used to be we talked about this 345 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,400 at the chamber a few times about people using hoses to clean off the sidewalk. 346 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,679 They used to do that. >> They used to do the fire station used to 347 00:24:30,159 --> 00:24:37,360 » fire station used to do that and there was one person that complained. So are 348 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:41,520 they still in business or no? No, they are not still in business, but I think 349 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,799 liability now. I don't think the fire department would be willing to do that 350 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:47,360 because it is a large liability on their part. 351 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,120 » There's a gentleman that streets day and night all over town. 352 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,919 » I see him. >> Yeah, we see him out there. Um, what's 353 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:58,440 his name? I know that city. >> Bob. 354 00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:58,440 » No. Um, 355 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,200 » Bobby pays him gives him money to do that. 356 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,720 » Bob. >> So, 357 00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:09,440 » it's Bob. It's Bob. It's B. >> Love it. Is 358 00:25:07,679 --> 00:25:15,120 » Yeah. So, he goes around with the little leaf blower. It's 359 00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:18,559 » he out the the hang out down Mine Street down by the 360 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:24,480 high school. >> Okay. So, this is for our Yes. 361 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:28,000 » roots. Anybody else have anything they can think? We can always add to it 362 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,559 later. >> No. Okay. 363 00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:34,960 » All right. I'll bring that to council and say, "Here's what we want to do." 364 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:39,200 » Sounds good. Yeah. There's a spit. The state of Oregon keeps a database of all 365 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:43,679 county and city courts throughout the state. You're supposed to say, you know, 366 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,200 where's the court located phone number, email, and who's the person to contact? 367 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:52,422 And for one court somewhere in the state, all they put down was Gertude. 368 00:25:50,402 --> 00:25:52,422 [laughter] 369 00:25:52,720 --> 00:26:01,600 » Well, that's cool. >> Not even a last name. It was just 370 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:06,559 » Gertude and Bob. >> Aren't they impaired? Ah, 371 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,320 » all right. I wish this was better news. >> What? 372 00:26:07,919 --> 00:26:14,559 » Okay. >> Oh, well, yeah, there's that. So, we did 373 00:26:10,159 --> 00:26:18,400 not get the uh streets, sorry, the the sprinkler grant that I had applied to 374 00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:22,159 CIS for intact. They told me they they denied basically all Eastern Oregon 375 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,760 » even though we're in fire and drought. Cool. 376 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,000 » Grant applications. They gave something to Hermiston like Hermiston needs money. 377 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,760 » Good for them. >> Yeah, but that's not us. 378 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:33,440 » I know her. Technically, it's in the 8ount 379 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,799 definition of Eastern Oregon, but like >> I'm just going to say it publicly. Good 380 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,400 for them. We're in a drought. We could have used sprinklers, but thank you for 381 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:44,960 ignoring most of Eastern Oregon. >> Yeah, somebody asked. 382 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:50,320 » Yeah, we don't have like a 60,000 fire 60,000 acre fire near us or anything. 383 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:58,240 » So, we still have a grant coming in from the Roundhouse Foundation for um uh some 384 00:26:55,039 --> 00:27:03,600 fireproofing at the RV park. And the parks grant is still underway. And I 385 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:07,039 feel like there's another Oh, the marine board. We applied for a grant with the 386 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,320 marine board to >> Oh, cool. What's that? 387 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:16,799 » The state marine board controls all of the state waterways in Oregon and they 388 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:22,559 have a a small grant infrastructure construction. So, because the RV park is 389 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:26,240 a boat launch, there is a grant to pave the eastern parking lot. So, we have a 390 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,799 paid boat launch for safety and accessibility. 391 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,120 » That is so cool. >> I just I think it is kind of a blessing 392 00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:36,960 though that we didn't Sorry, I need to be a little more patient. I've had a 393 00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:40,159 rough day. Um I do think it's kind of a blessing that we didn't get the water 394 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:44,240 grant >> for sprinklers. That way we can map out 395 00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:48,480 tent areas. >> We do have time for that 396 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:52,880 » and build a pos I did have an idea. I talked about it about having like a 397 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:57,440 pergola kind of a outdoor sitting area. So if we 398 00:27:55,279 --> 00:28:01,039 write, you know, map something up, then we can maybe reapply for sprinklers and 399 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,279 maybe they'll be generous and think of eastern organ 400 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:08,159 » or we can find it elsewhere. >> Yes. 401 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:12,559 » Um have we started an applica or a grant for the play structure 402 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:19,279 for down there? >> No. So, um, the the big hangup with 403 00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:23,279 applying for grants at the RV park, it all comes down to the fact that our man 404 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:25,600 was from the 90s. So, I would like for there to be a playground, but that is 405 00:28:24,559 --> 00:28:29,360 something that comes as part of the master plan. The 406 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:31,279 » master plan project, >> all that jazz. 407 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:38,320 » Okay. >> I really want to get rid of the uh 408 00:28:34,399 --> 00:28:42,559 the railroad ties. Those are a pain. >> We'll get there. We're gonna get there. 409 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:52,960 » I have a question. And I was looking at some things when you apply for a grant 410 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:57,120 and it says like for um a certain level. So you can apply for different grants 411 00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:03,200 for one project. So like for one just for to cover it all in rock or whatever 412 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,960 for gravel ground or whatever. Then another grants. This could take years 413 00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:09,440 for stuff like this, right? Like >> yes, 414 00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:12,960 » five to 10 years. the nickel and dime the 415 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,760 » unit would ensure a lot of the cookies are spun in the red sound. 416 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,039 » Yeah, >> we don't like those. 417 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,960 » Um, >> oh, is there any reason why we don't go 418 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:27,360 for like wild horse grant? >> We usually uh have our influence crew go 419 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,360 after that. So like last year they got a new job. 420 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,679 » So they apply through the city. >> Yeah. 421 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,840 » Not as well. They're they're a city agency. They're not an independent 422 00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:36,840 » Gotcha. >> entity. 423 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:42,480 Love them. They are they are ours. >> Yep. No, I was just wondering if they 424 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:48,240 had their own thing that they >> No, they they applied through us. 425 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:52,640 » So, what is regional priorities? >> All right. The two big grants I wanted 426 00:29:49,679 --> 00:29:56,080 to bring up tonight. So, um there are two two big grant opportunities. One 427 00:29:54,399 --> 00:30:00,480 comes up every year two years and it's called the Oregon Regional Investment 428 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:07,200 Fund and uh the applications just opened up for that. The other one is called uh 429 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:13,360 they're calling it SDS. Um, so the RAF is $10 million that anybody 430 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,640 can apply for it and that has to be you have to be like a local government or 431 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:22,159 nonprofit or a tribe in Oregon and Department of Energy One is similar area 432 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:27,600 Union and Baker County you have to apply for I think it's a $15 million pot. So 433 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:33,360 the goal is to take a look at what can we actually apply for and do we want to 434 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:39,039 spend money on these things? Um, do we want to appro like go about uh adding 435 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:43,360 them to our community? So, >> first off, the both of these grants I 436 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:47,679 found out were tied to the uh regional solutions team. So, Oregon's divided up 437 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,159 by the governor's office in the different regions that have um regular 438 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,360 meetings where local leaders come together and talk about problems and 439 00:30:53,600 --> 00:31:00,320 figure out solutions. The regional solutions coordinator is the governor's 440 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:03,120 person in the community. Um, so ours is based out of Eastern Oregon University. 441 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,480 They go all over the place having meetings and solving problems that 442 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:11,200 create. The regional solutions committee came up with a group of priorities for 443 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:16,320 Northeast Oregon. And both of these grants say you need to have it be 444 00:31:13,919 --> 00:31:19,600 focused on the regional solutions teams identified issues. 445 00:31:18,159 --> 00:31:23,840 » And what were those? >> Oh, there's five pages. 446 00:31:21,919 --> 00:31:26,480 » Okay. But we do have some things that we could 447 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,039 » Yeah. Well, the one I want to build is the the James Johnson Center for 448 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,679 Entrepreneurship. >> We'll get to that. 449 00:31:30,399 --> 00:31:38,000 » So, so there there's five different h um uh priority groups. The first one is 450 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:41,120 statewide and statewide the think that the state thinks we need more housing in 451 00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:42,480 Northeast Oregon. I don't know, do we? Yes, we do. 452 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,480 » Yes, we do. >> Uh locally, infrastructure, 453 00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:50,399 » we definitely need that one. >> Um so, it's industrial and commercial 454 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:54,000 land availability and development, resilience, impact on infrastructure, 455 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:58,640 supply chain challenges. Mhm. >> Next one up is community resilience, 456 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:02,240 shared services, food security, uh nonprofit sector, business development, 457 00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:04,799 energy resilience. >> Because we need a shared storage space 458 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,519 for all of our >> We definitely do. 459 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:11,840 » Well, that's pocket change. >> I'm just saying we need that. 460 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:16,880 » Um the next one is workforce development. Um, the focus is on getting 461 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:21,200 individuals prepared to be employees, encourage more flexibility for 462 00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:25,679 employees, support EOU's grant funding for workforce readiness, uh, and 463 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,840 long-term investment in education and programs for soft skills within high 464 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,200 schools. >> I like that one, too. 465 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,480 » Um, some of these are like they have I think certain people they're planning on 466 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,279 having do them like we're not a high school, but hopefully Elgen High School 467 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,679 applies. >> EOU can take care of itself. 468 00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:45,600 » Yes, they can.

Um, >> so when is the deadline for these? 485 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:52,240 » Um, they're kind of coming up this fall to work on. So, we're going to have to 486 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:56,880 figure out real quick what we think is the best idea. So, this committee will 487 00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:00,480 advise the council on what should we move on. Should we do an 488 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:03,360 entrepreneurship center? Should we look at commercial property development? all 489 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,880 that jazz. >> I like commercial property development. 490 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:10,639 » Well, we have a lot of land. >> We have some we have some things.

Well, we have there was one piece of land that I was 511 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,920 um looking at that we could possibly do for that's about 512 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:35,440 » the one you texted me about today. >> No, that one's a different one. But the 513 00:35:33,839 --> 00:35:39,440 four acres was the one we were talking about last week. Was it last week or the 514 00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:45,200 week before? Industrial. 515 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:51,119 Can't spell. Holy totally don't ask me how to spell. Do you remember 516 00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:54,240 » it's over by the industrial structure too? So we can be two different brands 517 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,240 for two. >> Yeah, 518 00:35:54,720 --> 00:36:00,880 » it's over by the industrial park. >> This one we could get 519 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,720 » or >> but there was that then there was that 520 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:08,640 one that was 100,000 that was that had that trailer on it. If it has the 521 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:12,960 trailer on it that's probably means that there's water, electricity and sewer 522 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:19,680 there. We could also put a developmental building there or something where we 523 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:22,800 could use it to create jobs or whatever. >> Is that one zoned residential though? 524 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:27,119 » How is it? >> I do got to see if I can figure out 525 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:34,400 where it is again. >> So, we have had an idea about um rail 526 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:38,079 bikes. Oh, and if we did the construction or acquisition, there is 527 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,720 that building down there and it could be so much more than just rail bikes, but 528 00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:44,800 you could >> house them there. You could do 529 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:49,920 » who owns that building down there. >> Um the silo, not the silo, the 530 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,599 » it's so walking the trail. It's on the left hand side. 531 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:55,839 » On the left hand side there that would be eighthoman. 532 00:36:53,839 --> 00:37:00,680 » Well, there's like a buggy in there. Yeah, there's it. It's 533 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,680 » Well, my understand 534 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,680 that >> Oh, where's our little 535 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,280 » um That's Detroit right here. >> When we did the 536 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:09,520 » this thing >> that's owned by the Walawa Union 537 00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:11,839 Railroad Authority. >> Okay. 538 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:21,520 » So, but there's another building on this side that um where's that other one? 539 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:25,599 » Is that it? That might be No, that's a house. But when we were doing the 540 00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:29,119 opening for that trail with Trail of Thrill and had like the barbecue and 541 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:32,000 stuff down there, I don't even know how many times I heard people saying that 542 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,760 old building would be so cool if it was a brewery. 543 00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:38,280 » Yeah. >> Hey, there's another one here. 544 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:44,640 All that stuff. >> 445. No, we're done. 545 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:49,440 » 425. >> Mhm. 546 00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:52,240 » Let's see. Think we're >> And it's got it's mobile home. That's on 547 00:37:51,839 --> 00:37:54,800 there. >> Yes. 548 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,320 » I've been thinking of no bikes. >> Yeah. 549 00:37:55,119 --> 00:38:00,000 » Or that would be >> So that one is smack dab in their 550 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:04,400 residential area. >> Yeah. But could you still turn it into a 551 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:10,560 park or something else? Like a like a structure where you could use it to rent 552 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:15,599 out for um like a you know like a a hall or something like a you know what I 553 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:20,119 mean? Bless you if you're going to sneeze. 554 00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:20,119 » No, it's my face. 555 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:26,880 But but that's just what I was thinking earlier when I saw it because I was 556 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:31,520 looking at >> all kinds of stuff. 557 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:36,880 » However, there is also um like the old Elgen TV building. 558 00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:39,760 » So, are we talking about someone with it and there's the lot next to it? 559 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,480 Like we could >> Are you looking to have another hall for 560 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:47,760 employment? I don't understand. >> Well, we can you can use it for 561 00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:51,839 anything. You can use it to um for the stewardship economy. You can use it like 562 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:57,920 there. You can put a structure on it for any reason. You can put a structure on 563 00:38:54,160 --> 00:39:02,480 it to rent out as like a place for people to, you know, conduct business or 564 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:08,240 a meeting or something or you can use it for um someone uh could rent it out for 565 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,320 a party or something. You could do all kinds of things. It's 566 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:14,079 » kind of like how we were thinking about putting a building down at the RV park. 567 00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:18,640 » Mhm. So the conditional uses permitted in the 568 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:22,720 residential zone are multif family zonings, 569 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:27,280 hospitals, churches, home occupations, parks and playgrounds, libraries, 570 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:31,119 museums and art galleries, public buildings such as fire stations, pump 571 00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:34,960 stations, schools and community centers, neighborhood grocery stores, livestock 572 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,760 or farm animals subject to restriction, and Airbnbs. 573 00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:42,000 » Well, we definitely need a playground for kids. Well, 574 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:45,440 » the uh community center has a playground. I know, but like scattered 575 00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:48,880 throughout >> having more. 576 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:52,000 » Yeah, cuz there's one, but that's one for one area of kids. 577 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:55,599 » Well, we're going to put a playground on the RV park. 578 00:39:53,200 --> 00:40:01,200 » Like I don't understand employment. Like the RV park wasn't of interest because 579 00:39:57,359 --> 00:40:06,480 we needed to look at employment for >> So if we got one of these grants, could 580 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:10,880 we employ somebody at the RV park? >> No, that's not what they're looking 581 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:16,079 into. They're kind of kind of >> either like we build stuff or come up 582 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:19,040 with a project that gets completed >> like 583 00:40:17,359 --> 00:40:23,760 » Okay, so we've been talking about that empty lot at the high school and it's 584 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:28,720 technically zoned residential. >> We already own it. we wouldn't have to 585 00:40:25,359 --> 00:40:33,200 buy it if we built not necessarily a community center there but like a center 586 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:40,560 where you could ho rent to host meetings or have birthday parties or let pe you 587 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:44,000 know have uh what am I thinking of Saturday markets 588 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:48,640 in or >> something of that nature to boost the 589 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:55,359 economy um >> place to put vendors when it's smoky 590 00:40:50,720 --> 00:41:00,720 » yes EOU could host their type of job recruitment or you know do fairs like 591 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,960 that down there. >> Do you know I mean not to poo I do know 592 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:12,160 like the job fairs and stuff they like to have those high school stuff 593 00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:14,960 » different I do not well I mean yeah I was thinking because it was next to the 594 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,319 high school. >> Yeah. [laughter] 595 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:22,720 applying to this grant. Like what would your argument be? Um as far as like we 596 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:27,200 already have the community center, we have the Stampeders building a new hall, 597 00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:30,800 we have the Graange Hall, >> um would that be would we have a 598 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:34,400 worthwhile argument on why would we need more 599 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:40,400 » because this one would be the change? So I just I think if we went with a 600 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:46,640 construction or acquisition, it would be much more feasible to like put something 601 00:41:43,359 --> 00:41:50,079 that's going to generate jobs and uh tourism both like the rails 602 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,480 » like that. >> Like that, 603 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:58,000 » you know, like the >> We do own the end plot 604 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:01,760 by the rail station. >> Mhm. 605 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:05,040 » If we did rail bikes. Yes. We could put it right there. 606 00:42:03,359 --> 00:42:09,599 » Right. Well, because I've joked about making it a mini dog park right now. 607 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:16,480 » A mini dog park right there. >> But that would definitely that would 608 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:20,960 create both business and tourism and uh you know generate more interest and 609 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:26,079 that would actually be a great location. >> So what about 48 or 610 00:42:23,839 --> 00:42:31,119 » so you know where the train station >> industrial park is in the parking lot. 611 00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:35,280 We own that piece there at the end. So the school put it as a storefront and 612 00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:37,839 stored the bites there right next to sell it to us 613 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:41,359 » and it was right next to the opera house that maybe 614 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:44,720 » we could ask if they want to build it >> or if they want to sell it. I mean the 615 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,920 school is also able to apply for these too. So 616 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:50,079 » yeah the school >> we could see if the school is interested 617 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:53,520 in doing it is the one that was for >> are they but aren't they doing don't 618 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,240 they have an a building out there already? 619 00:42:53,839 --> 00:42:56,240 » They do. >> Oh they do. Yeah. 620 00:42:55,119 --> 00:43:00,079 » Yeah they do. >> They've got the same lot. 621 00:42:57,839 --> 00:43:01,359 » What? But they don't. They do. But they don't. 622 00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:04,560 » They don't. Right. Okay. >> What do you mean? 623 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:11,280 » I know they have a floor. >> And it can't move forward 624 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:14,880 » eventually. Hope. But so there's that. I say because we like the railike idea. So 625 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,040 well, >> we like the railback idea. So 626 00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:22,560 » and it creates jobs. It creates tourism. And we could put it right there at the 627 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:27,200 end. Like Tiffany said, that's a perfect location that I think we should try for 628 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:31,599 this construction or acquisition because we just need the construction. 629 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:35,280 » How profitable is it rail? But I've read that I love 630 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:38,400 » you should I think it would break a lot. 631 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,160 » You know how many people drive an extra 13 miles to do it? 632 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,440 » Yeah. >> Mhm. 633 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,359 » You know what I mean? >> I did. 634 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:47,119 » I wouldn't want to drive an extra 13 miles. I was wondering if there was 635 00:43:45,359 --> 00:43:51,280 » so how it works is that of course we get we 636 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:57,359 purchase the rail bikes but then for each rider we pay 637 00:43:53,760 --> 00:44:01,119 » Joseph Branch Rura uh a certain amount I don't know we'll just say $10 is what 638 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:04,960 we're going to say. So each ticket sold we pay them a portion of it and then we 639 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,400 can use it. So obviously days when they're running the train we can't rent 640 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:12,160 out the rail bikes during those times. >> We can after they're done 641 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:15,680 » but we can after they're done. And so this it is just a this one's a no 642 00:44:14,319 --> 00:44:20,160 Tiffany and I Tiffany and I have been like this one. 643 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:25,839 » Just to clarify before we go on is we're talking about so the 644 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:28,720 the government would buy a plot of land. The government would build something on 645 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:32,960 that plot of land >> and then we get grants for the rails. 646 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:37,359 » Somebody gets who's going to own the is it going to be a city and the city's 647 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:41,440 going to do a real bike like >> that was my question. Yeah, 648 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:44,319 » I think I don't think the city needs any more. 649 00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:47,920 » No, it doesn't, but it doesn't. >> Okay, Tiffany and I will buy the rail 650 00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:51,200 bikes >> and rent the space from you. 651 00:44:49,359 --> 00:44:54,720 » I love the idea, but I don't think that the city should open. 652 00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:57,599 » No, then employees. Does it employ though? Not 653 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:01,839 very many, right? >> Well, it's more than a community center. 654 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:05,520 » It would be a seasonal employment. And I think they have 655 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:11,280 It depends on if you do assisted or non-assisted. Mhm. And I'm not sure I I 656 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:14,319 can we can call, but that's not we we should for the grant. 657 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:19,119 » Incredible to look at tourism and bringing people to town. So 658 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:21,200 » So I think that's a >> I like that one. 659 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,680 » What's the other one we should apply for? 660 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:28,720 » I don't know. So I basically there's there's two grants that you can use for 661 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:31,760 the same prior for for the same pool of priorities. So 662 00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:36,621 » I like this a lot. >> Um the other one the regional 663 00:45:33,119 --> 00:45:38,641 infrastructure fund um pull it up. [sighs] 664 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,960 » What is this for? >> It's so it's 665 00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:52,319 the regional infrastructure fund. Again, it's the same list of priorities, but 666 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,880 it's a different pot of money. So, this one comes from the legislature. The 667 00:45:53,680 --> 00:46:00,640 other one came from the bed. >> So, this one we could maybe use to buy 668 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:04,640 rail bikes. >> Well, that's 669 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:10,000 exactly what they're they're going for. So, could we use this for sidewalks to 670 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:14,800 connect the sidewalk from to the river to downtown to the other park? 671 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:17,520 » There is a state grant that will cover that. That's one I've got in mind to 672 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:22,680 work on next year, >> but this one won't. 673 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,680 » Why does 674 00:46:23,599 --> 00:46:28,422 » we have to manage for a roundabout? [laughter] 675 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:36,720 Let's put one construction isn't for construction 676 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,000 in relation to one of the the priorities there. 677 00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:41,520 » Okay. >> So it can't just be anything you can 678 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:45,880 dream of. It has to be on the list like the James Johnson Center for 679 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,880 entrepreneurship. 680 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:53,359 » So the manage sustainability though. >> So it's a rural engagement holiday 681 00:46:51,119 --> 00:46:57,440 center.

We can apply two different ways. I really like the construction and 743 00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:29,040 acquisition one because putting uh I think rail bikes in eventually would be 744 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:32,960 a great thing. What do you guys think of that one? 745 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:36,480 » I think that was great. Can the city do that though? 746 00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:39,760 » No, they can put the building up. >> They can put the building up for 747 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:43,680 » Can you bring bring that one back up to the screen that she was talking about? 748 00:51:42,319 --> 00:51:46,480 » The construction construction and acquisition. 749 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:49,359 » Um, >> how can the city do that? 750 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,119 » They can put the building up. >> How? 751 00:51:49,839 --> 00:51:53,119 » Well, yeah. >> What I want to know. 752 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:59,800 » So, they put the >> the construction acquisition just has to 753 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,800 be tied to one of these existing 754 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:07,520 » priorities. And what are the other two? 755 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:09,520 » And then the other one would be the solar power 756 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:15,599 » ship economy >> or the we could do 757 00:52:13,119 --> 00:52:21,280 the food the food security right was one of them and the infrastructure would be 758 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:26,000 the solar power. So I like the stewardship economy 759 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,800 because then we can just by building the building if somebody puts in a rail 760 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:32,319 business in there. >> Yes. 761 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:36,800 » Excuse me. And we can use the floor plan for um encouraging studies, you know, 762 00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:39,520 all of this. >> Uhuh. You could use that. 763 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:43,359 » You could build a >> It could be an entrepreneurship center, 764 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:47,280 » encouraging study of supply chain challenges. We could do meetings there 765 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:51,680 for that, >> right? Well, in development of an 766 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:55,520 entrepreneurship center that addresses shared services for businesses within 767 00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:58,240 the stewardship economy. So, you can run your rail bikes out of there. They can 768 00:52:57,599 --> 00:53:04,920 do >> all these other things as well. with 769 00:52:59,839 --> 00:53:04,920 rail can also do stuff out, you know. 770 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,319 » Uh, so 771 00:53:09,359 --> 00:53:16,480 » the um this new one that the feds are funding is something that just happened 772 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:21,440 and it's a one-time thing. You got to dig into 773 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:26,160 » the uh the SDS one. So, this is a uh the the sorry from the feds for Boardman 774 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:31,520 Hemingway. [clears throat] >> What was that? 775 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:35,359 So the the federal grant portion of this that is a a sorry from the feds for 776 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:41,839 boardman hemingway going through we're sorry here's $15 million have added. 777 00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:48,520 » So do you think the chances are better at us going for a food sustainability or 778 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,520 solar for 779 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:53,520 » Well I mean we can do both. >> There's we're applying for for two 780 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:58,480 different >> and then we can do the construction one 781 00:53:54,960 --> 00:54:01,839 with those. Yeah. So, we could construct >> a building with one of these and for 782 00:54:00,319 --> 00:54:04,319 another one we can get solar. >> So, I say we do solar at the RV park. 783 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:09,440 » Well, >> so we can solar everywhere 784 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:12,160 in all city properties. Good idea. >> Yeah, that's what I mean. 785 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:17,280 » Yeah, [laughter] because we can. Even down at the Joseph branch, we could put 786 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:20,960 solar on top of that pigota there. >> Could we? Um I don't know. We probably 787 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:25,520 couldn't. Never mind. >> And when we redo Witty, 788 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:28,880 » we could put solar there, too. I was >> versus there's power already. I was just 789 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,920 thinking we could profit from solar power for 790 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,480 » I don't know if Oregon does that or not organ does that but I don't know if OTC 791 00:54:33,839 --> 00:54:37,760 does that. >> Well 792 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:42,160 co-op right? Right. >> So you can still you still get return 793 00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:46,720 checks on it. So I'm wondering if OTC does something like if you have solar 794 00:54:44,720 --> 00:54:50,160 power in certain areas does it pay back the city then? 795 00:54:47,599 --> 00:54:52,559 » Only if you if it feeds back into the grid. 796 00:54:50,559 --> 00:54:56,880 » Yeah. If it's not used. But if we can do that, we can because we can have Here's 797 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:59,839 what I was here was what I was gonna ask and I stopped myself because it's kind 798 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:07,359 of a stupid idea, >> but um like could we get it at Could we 799 00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:13,760 get it at um at like the 800 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:18,319 Stampede like all the businesses like put it at the on the main streets of 801 00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:21,680 certain businesses throughout this city that we support and they support us 802 00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:24,000 obviously. I don't want to put too much favoritism. 803 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,559 » Well, >> it was just like it's just like it was 804 00:55:26,079 --> 00:55:32,720 just >> one of the things with solar on city 805 00:55:29,359 --> 00:55:39,599 rooftops and properties is it plays into your Wi-Fi idea because then you have a 806 00:55:36,319 --> 00:55:42,880 way to facilitate facilitate power to Wi-Fi in public. 807 00:55:41,119 --> 00:55:44,400 » And I was just looking at more Wi-Fi stuff. So, I'm going to I'm going to 808 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:50,640 keep >> The problem is is if you start putting 809 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:53,119 cityowned solar panels on private business, I said, 810 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:57,119 » "No, I know."

You can have a 998 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:08,640 lot of the hubs there right across the street from you. You can have like food 999 01:08:05,839 --> 01:08:12,240 trucks coming in. You could do all kinds of stuff. They do that kind of stuff in 1000 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:19,520 bed where my kid lives, too. They've got a freaking uh a vet veterinary hospital, 1001 01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:24,880 like a specialty one that has like a a food truck area and all kinds of weird 1002 01:08:21,759 --> 01:08:28,960 stuff around it. >> Or does that not show you? 1003 01:08:26,239 --> 01:08:33,359 » No, I it's not ours.

Why didn't you include this? Why 1009 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:55,759 didn't you do that? And if we already have a plot that we can work on, which 1010 01:08:53,199 --> 01:09:00,480 it looks like we have two possible, like one is smaller, one is bigger. If we 1011 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:03,839 worked on those and proved that, you know, we did this for the community, 1012 01:09:02,239 --> 01:09:07,199 then buying something bigger in the future, I think would be more plausible. 1013 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:11,839 But I really think it we would get a lot of negative feedback if we buy 1014 01:09:10,239 --> 01:09:13,839 » 4 acres. >> Yeah.

So because that land is owned by the school district, um governments 1019 01:09:27,440 --> 01:09:32,239 don't have the same procurement requirements with each other.

I don't want to go, "Hey guys, 1060 01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:04,000 guess what we got money for?" Everybody goes, "What are you talking about?" 1061 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:10,080 Well, not only that, but it needs to it needs to go by legal first because I 1062 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:13,600 think we need to be very careful about >> doing businesses on our lands. 1063 01:12:12,480 --> 01:12:17,440 » Well, I'm not >> No, this is solar power. 1064 01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:22,080 » The solar power, right? >> Oh, if we do like a real bike business 1065 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:25,120 is going to be kind of the >> All right.

I'd have to see if that is within the 1070 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:43,600 the scope of the government wants a building that the private sector can 1071 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:47,280 use. >> Yeah. 1072 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:51,080 » So, the little lot that was across from the baseball field, 1073 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:58,480 » sorry, >> pretty small or 1074 01:12:56,480 --> 01:13:01,120 » drooling now.

Oh, 1099 01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:29,120 » but we could find something else because like on our main street where the food 1100 01:14:27,440 --> 01:14:33,239 bank is, there is that lot in between there. 1101 01:14:29,679 --> 01:14:33,239 » So, like that would be 1102 01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,360 » buy the empty lot and put a building in there. 1103 01:14:35,679 --> 01:14:41,840 » Yeah. >> Yeah.

They they've 1112 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:15,040 changed changed hands a few times. >> So, 1113 01:15:13,199 --> 01:15:16,640 » but this the city doesn't own anymore, right? 1114 01:15:15,199 --> 01:15:19,280 » We don't own any of the things in the industrial park.
