[1:23] Decision. So, we need to vote.
>> I'll make a motion to accept them as
[1:27] written.
>> Good for you.
[1:30] » I'll second.
>> That's [clears throat] Michael O'Neal
[1:32] seconding.
And your vote, Jim?
[1:35] » Yeah, yes.
>> Agreed. I.
[1:44] » Okay, next moving on. Pay
[clears throat] monthly bills. Decision
[1:47] and we need a vote.
>> I'll make a motion to pay the bills.

>> I'll second.
[1:54] » Jim Monroe seconds. And your vote, Vic?
>> I vote I. Agreed.
[1:58] » Agreed.
[2:04] » Okay. With regard to reports, time
cards, with the transfer finance
[2:09] committee, any questions on the report?
[2:14] No?
[2:18] Yeah.
Moving on to old business.
[2:23] Sewer connection for the US Forest
Service update.
[2:28] » Me?
>> Yes.
[2:30] » Does it say HDR?
>> It doesn't.
[2:32] » Um I've reached out to Mark Foster a
couple times on this and I haven't heard
[2:35] back from him. Um
we actually have a meeting at a separate
[2:39] meeting in Rexford tomorrow that he's
supposed to attend. So, I'll try to
[2:43] corner him there and get some answers.
>> I do know [clears throat] he's got it in
[2:47] the in the budget.
Each city was putting it in. This was I
[2:51] was talking to him last year.
>> Okay.
[2:54] » And they were putting in their budget
together at the time, so they were
[2:57] looking to connect.
Hopefully if they get, you know,
[3:00] approved
then they'll go ahead.
[3:04] » I second
that.
[3:08] All right. You need a second minute to
not second.
[3:10] » Yeah, but they didn't ask.
>> the next item is the sewer Well, we have
[3:14] we have to do it in stages otherwise the
recent update.
[3:16] » I should have kept up with the meeting
right now.
[3:19] Um
>> Okay, sewer mains the HDR update for the
[3:22] sewer main.
>> Yeah. So, uh this is our big project for
[3:25] the town right now. Um
we just got our geotech and survey
[3:31] completed last week.
Um so, those results um will take a
[3:36] couple weeks to come in.
Um and then we will get those to our
[3:39] design team and we will start uh
designing our replacement force main.
[3:44] Um
[3:47] I was out there with them when they were
doing the core drilling. I don't think
[3:50] there's anything
too terribly unknown that we didn't
[3:54] foresee with it. Um there are some spots
where they barely had enough cover on it
[3:59] to begin with cuz they're they put it
into rock um pretty much the entire way.
[4:04] They either had to blast or rip it open,
so um there'll be a couple sections
[4:08] that'll be
a little tough
[4:10] um to get down or that we just have to
excavate a little bit more, but nothing
[4:13] too serious as of right now. Um
the crossing at the north end of the
[4:20] trunk um
thankfully we're not in bedrock, which
[4:24] is great. Um we didn't even hit rock
corn down deeper than they did in the
[4:28] ones in the railroad right-of-way, so
that's all positive. And then um we're
[4:33] working with Kevin and his crew to do
our last little bit of inspection, uh
[4:38] which is going to be right uh here
crossing the tobacco from the lift
[4:42] station, so we're going to TV
that section of pipe. Um
[4:46] our hope is that the integrity of that
pipe is still really good, so we don't
[4:50] have to do a new crossing there.
>> Mhm.
[4:52] » Um and that we would just basically
reline that section of pipe um
[4:58] and uh with a CIPP.
And then we would replace everything
[5:02] from after that, so um we'll be working
out there the next week or two um to get
[5:07] that inspected, and then uh we'll have
hopefully all of our information uh for
[5:12] existing conditions, and then we'll be
off to races on on design.
[5:16] » Thank you.
>> You bet.
[5:19] » Okay.
Moving on,
[5:23] uh Zach as well for the sewer aeration
pond, the HDR update for that.
[5:27] » Yep, so um kudos to public works staff.
Um we got the aeration pond back up and
[5:33] working. Uh the pumps have been
serviced. There's new valves up there.
[5:37] Um there's a new intake screen um for
the actual transfer pumps that push from
[5:42] the aeration pond up to the higher ponds
for further the
[5:46] Um we got a good This whole process was
a good learning curve, I think, for for
[5:52] everybody here in the town.
Um, we found that, you know, existing
[5:56] as-built drawings were inaccurate. There
was different infrastructure in that
[6:00] pond than we thought there was.
Um, so even though this wasn't an ideal
[6:05] situation, um,
for the town, it allowed us to to find
[6:09] out a bunch of new things about our
treatment plant up there, um, which I
[6:13] think is positive. So, we take it as a
learning experience. We've upgraded some
[6:17] things up there, and we should be good
for
[6:21] I'm hoping the next couple years until
we can actually get to
[6:25] removing all the solid down in that pond
and redo some
[6:29] some intricacies of how it works up
there as well for for better treatment
[6:34] for the future, so.
>> Okay.
[6:36] » Thanks, Zach.
Um, the next one, also Zach, is the
[6:40] water PER, the preliminary engineering
report for grants.
[6:44] » Yep. So, we plan on, um, starting on the
water PER in January. Um, so we have
[6:50] that scope and fee drafted and
everything. We're just waiting to
[6:53] execute that.
Um, we have our second grant that we're
[6:56] going after for the funding of this PER.
Um, it's going to be one that you guys
[7:01] have gotten in the past for the
wastewater one.
[7:04] Uh, this is through DNR C. It's a
renewable resources, uh, planning grant.
[7:09] So, this one's for $40,000.
Um, we previously submitted a CDBG for
[7:14] 50. Um, so we will be,
um,
[7:19] hopefully turning in that application
tomorrow.
[7:22] » Excellent. Thank you.
Um, moving on, the Government Review
[7:26] Study Commission update. We have no
update. And I think we're coming up to
[7:31] the deadline soon.
[7:35] Moving on to new business.
Transportation Road Assessment Report,
[7:40] Zach.
This is a good one.
[7:43] » [laughter]
>> Yeah, so a couple weeks ago
[7:47] HDR, the town,
Mr. Durham with the county,
[7:52] and public works staff, we all sat down
and um
[7:56] did a quick inventory
of some of the [clears throat] worst
[8:01] roads within the town,
and specifically focused in on the TIFF
[8:07] district.
Um as we have some funds that need to be
[8:10] expended or at least allocated by the
end of this year for projects. So our
[8:15] goal was to inventory town with a focus
on the TIFF district. Um but we did
[8:21] expand that.
Um I came back up earlier last week and
[8:25] kind of expanded just doing a whole
town-wide assessment of all the roads.
[8:30] And so we're writing that up right now.
Um plan is to put together a
[8:35] comprehensive document that can help
guide the town in the future as far as
[8:40] priorities for future larger
reconstructions, and will help us aid in
[8:45] getting more grant money.
So we'll be finalizing that, and then
[8:49] that will also help us put together a
bid package
[8:52] for the next
month to 6 weeks is kind of when we're
[8:56] targeting to where we can pick off
we're hoping probably around four
[9:01] different projects around town that will
will hopefully get done this fall.
[9:06] » That's exciting to me.
Mary.
[9:10] » And then
we've allocated or we've identified two
[9:13] major projects
that came from our survey list that we
[9:18] will go after for a larger, it's called
a build grant.
[9:22] Um
it used to be called raise, it used to
[9:25] be called something else. Like they just
keep renaming it, but effectively it's
[9:29] one of the largest transportation grants
that you can get in the state.
[9:34] I think I'll have to double check, but I
think the town we qualified for to
[9:38] dollars for that one. So,
it's a good chunk of money.
[9:43] Um and I think most likely we would go
after Central
[9:47] for that one to start.
That's kind of our thought there. That
[9:51] will ultimately be up to the
>> Thank you, Emmy.
[9:54] » Yes.
>> Excellent. Thank you for that.
[9:59] » [snorts]
>> Moving on to the next item on the agenda
[10:04] is resolution number 2026-823,
which is for the annual tax levy, and we
[10:10] actually won't be doing that on this
evening only because there's been a
[10:13] change in formula on the mill levy
determination schedule. So, we don't
[10:17] have enough numbers right now in our
budget to be able to do that and they
[10:20] changed the algorithm and Teresa will be
getting training on it tomorrow.
[10:25] So,
we will do we will cover that resolution
[10:29] in the special meeting on the 24th.
[10:33] Moving on to resolution number 2026-824,
which is the intent to increase water
[10:39] rates.
And we need to vote on that.
[10:45] » I have a comment on that.
>> Sure.
[10:47] » Um it was my understanding that when we
were going over these things, we were
[10:51] raising the water rates
um to what we needed.
[10:55] Okay.
And then it looks like in the resolution
[10:58] we're also going to implement some
commercial rates and so forth and so
[11:01] forth. Is that Is that the way that it
reads?
[11:06] » Um let's see what
let's see uh uh uh
[11:09] » Yes, that is how it reads currently.
>> That's what we're planning.
[11:14] Well, we're We're planning on
discussing. I'd say, you know, these are
[11:18] resolutions of intent
so that they can give people an idea of
[11:23] what will be going on under the
discussion in the public meetings.
[11:27] Um and also a better idea of what we've
been discussing in the work sessions
[11:32] here.
I want to hear about that and come in.
[11:36] So, whether or not you pick up
um
[11:40] any of this these changes,
this is just
[11:44] the intent document that gets published
in the paper and says, "This is what
[11:49] we're thinking about doing with the
rates." So, you got to come to the
[11:52] public meetings and
and talk with us and see what's going
[11:56] on. So, if there's something in there
that you don't want, then you just don't
[12:01] adopt it in the
in the ordinance. Okay.
[12:04] » And that was my biggest concern. It
looks to me like we're going to be
[12:06] raising the rates.
And then also, on top of that,
[12:11] raising the rates for all the commercial
folks, and we haven't even really talked
[12:15] too much about that.
And so,
[12:19] that's kind of where I was kind of
confused on that.
[12:21] » Yeah.
No, no, but that's why it's in there.
[12:24] It's so that's get discussed.
Um Eureka has not had a commercial rate
[12:31] um
in in
[12:34] you know, we had talked about some of
the breakdowns and things that had been
[12:38] suggested, but
>> [snorts]
[12:40] » you know, that was why we just dropped
back to the
[12:43] to the the number
to the four categories again.
[12:48] » I just wanted to be clear cuz I think
there'll be some questions, you know, if
[12:51] we're raising the rates to where they
need to be,
[12:54] but then it's going to be more for these
other groups of people, you know, I
[12:58] think that's kind of I was going wanting
to avoid that, you know.
[13:01] Um because
well, if we're already getting what we
[13:04] need,
what are we getting more for?
[13:08] » So, I think
>> Well, and that is the question and you
[13:10] know, that's part of the question, too.
Are we
[13:13] getting the rates where they where they
need to be?
[13:16] Um the base rates that I gave you in the
work sessions, that was strictly based
[13:22] on the cost of living increase index
from the federal indexes.
[13:28] So, we still need to take our own in
in our bonds
[13:33] and those and and run them through the
rate calculator
[13:37] on there and make sure, you know, we do
or that the that that's where you want
[13:42] to go with them.
On there, if you do want to want to
[13:45] separate
um
[13:48] and and have a separate set of rates,
some some towns do, some towns don't.
[13:55] Almost all of the major areas do
on there. They're mainly um
[14:02] it's for like, you know, really what
you're looking to pick up is the car
[14:05] washes, the heavy water consumers, um
stuff like that.
[14:10] » And then also just
um at the work session you'd said $120,
[14:15] remember? When we had worked with with
the numbers and you you voted, not
[14:19] voted, but you had recommended we go for
that. I think if you look at this, it's
[14:23] not even at that amount. What has been
>> Right. And that's what I
[14:26] » Yeah. Not to start with.
>> The the 120 was a reference that the
[14:29] state was giving us.
And if they would have said 115, I would
[14:33] have said 115. I didn't want I don't
choose 120. I was just referencing what
[14:37] they had said we needed.
>> Suggestion, yeah. And but it has been
[14:40] reduced even from that. So, I think it's
at 107 possibly.
[14:44] » And that's what they what they put in
the numbers and they they spits out what
[14:48] we need, right?
That's that's great. I'm all for that.
[14:51] I'm not necessarily for
all the
[14:55] all the extras
right at this moment with the with the
[14:59] rate increase and then the next 3 years
a rate increase.
[15:02] But on top of that, we're already we're
just going to go ahead and ding all
[15:05] these other people, too.
>> Well, I just wanted to quickly if yeah,
[15:09] it's it's not really dinging them
because it's
[15:12] » you get what you need
>> Yeah, but you're getting what you need
[15:14] from the single family homeowner and
>> From all the people that are getting
[15:17] water, you're getting what you need.
That's where Where do come from.
[15:21] » Correct. However,
if you are if you raise your rates and
[15:26] you are only you're raising your rates
and you have to because of our DEQ
[15:30] concentrically and there's a whole lot
of all this other stuff that goes into
[15:33] play. If you take that into
consideration and you raise the rates,
[15:38] people that currently have apartment
buildings, car washes,
[15:44] they are still using one water and sewer
line. That's not fair.
[15:49] Where the single family homeowner is
going to have to carry the burden
[15:51] whereas both people are getting a break
and that's not that's why
[15:55] for me the commercial rate increase was
important just because it would simplify
[16:00] what the actual usage is
in terms of size and I think that's what
[16:05] we discussed
at the
[16:07] » Yeah.
So, I think I think maybe a another way
[16:10] to look at the commercial rates is to
look at it similar to like how we
[16:15] implement the the EDU multiplier. So,
based on your meter size, you have
[16:22] a bigger impact on the overall system.
It's the very similar with a business.
[16:27] » Yeah, that's right. Yeah, if you have a
1-in it's going to be
[16:30] 7.29. [clears throat]
Yeah, I get that. It's all right here.
[16:34] » Right. So, yeah. So, I guess like the
last thing that we like at the work
[16:38] session we didn't have included was just
the definition
[16:42] of what that would apply to which we've
included in here as well.
[16:45] Um so, yeah. Obviously, it's all
you guys in in your discretion, but you
[16:50] know, if if the point is to
make sure that every resident of the
[16:56] town is equally contributing
on a rate basis
[17:00] to maintaining the infrastructure in the
town,
[17:04] eventually you will need to get to some
commercial rate.
[17:07] Because the businesses are having a a
good
[17:10] » So, back to my point is, you know, we're
all you know, I think we're implementing
[17:13] two different things here all at once
and we haven't really had any
[17:16] discussion about it.
>> But if I if I'm understanding correctly,
[17:19] we're not committing to this. All we're
saying is we're we're going to increase
[17:23] the rates.
This is about where we're going to be
[17:26] and in our future work sessions, which
we can make public, then we can talk
[17:30] about it.
>> Right.
[17:31] » [clears throat]
>> We were here we've you know, obviously
[17:34] Cliff and I have been part of all the
work sessions and the meetings with you
[17:37] guys.
We basically just taking everything that
[17:40] we've discussed, that's been on the
table, put it in this intent so that it
[17:44] can be an open forum for discussion and
for for the final determination in 6
[17:49] weeks.
[17:53] » Well, I disagree. And I think we talked
about commercial rates quite a bit in
[17:57] our work session.
>> Well, we did. Yeah, we did talk about
[18:00] how we want you know, we want them, we
need them, things about nature. But
[18:03] there really isn't we don't know what is
commercial, for example. Speaking of
[18:07] those Airbnbs, just for example, we
haven't
[18:13] determined whether or not they are, you
know.
[18:15] » Mhm.
>> Um
[18:17] No, and that's on an actually on my list
to provide you
[18:20] during these sessions is some of the
definitions that I see.
[18:24] But I mean
>> [clears throat]
[18:25] » most of the time the definitions are
in his guidebooks.
[18:30] On there, just for lack of a better way
of putting it.
[18:33] » Mhm.
>> We we use the engineers as the resource
[18:37] on that so we can figure out you know,
what is that differential in in use.
[18:43] » Right.
>> Not just in gallons, but in the impacts
[18:47] on the system. And that would be where I
would look to find if you were going to
[18:52] engage a different a different rate. And
it may be that Eureka's still at that
[18:58] point that it doesn't need
the separate separate rates.
[19:05] » So, I think just to clarify, it's not
we're not voting on doing that. It's
[19:09] just an going to to do that. Because
they'll do the final vote I think in 6
[19:13] weeks.
>> Yep. The The main point of this is to
[19:17] give the public notice that we're going
to be on water rates to make some
[19:21] improvements to the system and here's
our ideas for now.
[19:28] » And bearing in mind the ideas are all
based on
[19:31] the fact that they haven't been raised
in 87 and 8 years
[19:35] and that we haven't kept up for the last
almost decade.
[19:39] » Yep.
>> And so now we're in a position where we
[19:40] don't have a choice because now we have
to rehabilitate our water and these are
[19:45] sewer systems for instance.
And in order to qualify because we under
[19:49] a DQ consent decree, we don't meet the
standard for federal funding for the
[19:54] grants.
So we don't have a choice. If we want to
[19:56] it's going to cost us millions to do
this.
[20:00] And so we have to get the money from
somewhere and in order to do that we
[20:03] have to meet that criteria.
>> Right. Yep. Your eligibility is based
[20:07] off of your rates. How much funding
you'll be eligible for. So if your rates
[20:11] are not in an acceptable position, you
will qualify for less
[20:15] grant money.
>> So that's part of the other information.
[20:19] » what That's That's how we came up with
these base rates for all the things that
[20:23] are right now. The The water and sewer,
that's how we came up with those rates.
[20:27] » Yes.
>> Charging that amount of money we
[20:29] qualify.
>> Yes, because so yeah, with the target
[20:33] rate what I was just outlining with the
Horseman project in particular,
[20:37] those grants you guys have to be at a
certain target rate percentage by the
[20:42] end of construction. So that's what like
how we've outlined it on here is that
[20:46] you would hit that target rate by the
end of
[20:50] construction.
[20:56] » Any other questions?
>> No, but I move that we
[21:01] the council consider resolution
2026-824
[21:08] for the potential increase in water
rates.
[21:11] » Okay.
>> I'll second.
[21:14] » Jim second and Victoria and Jim second.
>> I agree.
[21:20] » And Michael agrees.
[21:25] And then moving on to the next item on
the agenda, which is resolution number
[21:28] 2026-825,
[21:32] which would be the intent to increase
sewer rates. And we need a vote for
[21:36] that.
>> I'll make
[21:37] I'll make a motion
to accept the resolution.
[21:41] » I'll second.
>> And you agree?
[21:44] » Jim agrees.
[21:48] » Okay.
Moving on to the next item, which is
[21:53] council and mayor comments. Anyone from
the council have comments?
[22:00] No.
No comments? Okay.
[22:03] Then I'll move on to the mayor comments.
I have a couple of um items that I
[22:07] wanted to mention.
Um
[22:11] the first thing
>> [clears throat]
[22:12] » residents should know is that I'm
requesting that residents
[22:16] take care of their properties. They need
to start getting rid of trash on their
[22:20] properties, cut their grass, just take
care of their little patch in our town,
[22:26] so that our town looks well cared for
and does not look neglected. So, the
[22:32] town what town hall has been receiving
complaints about various properties
[22:35] around the town and we try to address
them as that we become aware of them.
[22:40] Um but I just wanted to make special
note that people are responsible for
[22:43] taking care of their properties, taking
out their trash, and cleaning it up.
[22:48] So, for me that's pretty important. I
think it's um
[22:53] it's a good point. It's a good It's good
for people to take care of their little
[22:57] patch of America, the way I see it.
Second thing that I want people to know
[23:02] is that next week, starting next week
Monday,
[23:05] our DPW, Department of Public Works,
will be flushing our fire hydrants.
[23:10] So, every single fire hydrant in the
town will be flushed. I think there's
[23:13] about 42 of them, but I stand to
correction, Kevin.
[23:17] Um I did put it out on my Facebook page.
I did put it out on our website, and I
[23:21] did put it out and we did give it to the
newspaper.
[23:25] Um So, when you flush it, and Kevin,
correct me that it's going to be There's
[23:30] a possibility of it being a little
tinged, right? Yeah. With brown?
[23:33] » Yeah.
>> Um so, if you just run it until it's
[23:36] clear,
>> Yep.
[23:37] » it should be fine.
Do you have anything else you want to
[23:41] add to that?
>> No, that's basically it.
[23:43] » Okay.
>> About how many gallons does a
[23:46] flushing
>> [clears throat]
[23:47] » require?
Per per gallon?
[23:49] » It just depends.
[23:54] » Okay.
And then, the third thing I wanted to
[23:56] mention, and then for the town council
members,
[23:59] we have here a special meeting on August
24th at 3:00 p.m. So, there'll be a
[24:04] public hearing, and then straight after
that, I think 5 minutes right after the
[24:07] public hearing, to reset, plus minus,
and then we'll move into um it's for the
[24:11] budget.
So,
[24:15] that will be on August 24th at 3:00 p.m.
It'll be um
[24:21] comments Oh, that's right. Comments on
the final budget, and then also the mill
[24:24] levies will be
cuz that's what their resolution was
[24:27] that you didn't get to, the mill levies.
[24:31] » [clears throat]
[24:35] » Okay.
Do you have something, Neil?
[24:39] » Thank you, Mayor.
Uh Friday I dealt with an individual
[24:43] that was starting a fire, and
uh we don't have any restrictions on
[24:47] that, given that it's a recreational
fire, except that he was burning a
[24:51] television.
And so, we do have a law, and he was
[24:54] cited for that, but it it kind of
brought up a discussion, and you and I
[24:58] spoke on Friday. I was hoping to have
opportunity for the council to just
[25:01] address [clears throat] if we are moving
into fire season elevated risk. You
[25:04] mentioned the the rubbish
in the yard and that puts each residence
[25:09] at greater risk. I've invited our fire
chief here today
[25:12] as well and it's in reference to our
city code section 78.
[25:20] And
[25:22] I'll just if you don't mind, I'll just
read the the short phrase. Um
[25:30] See.
[25:36] Waste paper similar readily combustibles
non-explosive material may be disposed
[25:40] of by burning in incinerators of a type
and condition approved by the fire chief
[25:46] except during such hours or periods as
the fire chief may determine such
[25:50] burning would constitute a fire hazard.
And so
[25:53] we are moving into that season.
[clears throat]
[25:56] I think it would be appropriate, but
it's not my call, for the town to adopt
[26:00] the county standards when they go to
level whatever with their fire
[26:05] situation.
Uh fire chief, do you have something for
[26:08] us, Ron?
>> Um
[26:11] the county
state of Montana and the the federal
[26:15] government this time of year they meet
on Tuesday mornings
[26:19] and that's where they all sit down and
talk about
[26:22] what the fire danger is.
Have there been human caused fires?
[26:26] There's a number of factors they talk
about. That's an extremely factor for
[26:29] going to
restrictions or taking restrictions off.
[26:33] My comment on that is
I think it's appropriate for the town to
[26:39] move to restrictions,
but I think it's appropriate for the
[26:42] town to move at the same time. Move in
unison.
[26:46] A number of years ago and it's been a
couple of decades
[26:50] they did not all the entities did not
move in unison, the tribes and the state
[26:54] and whatever else. And so you have
a mishmash of different restrictions in
[26:59] different places and for people
living
[27:04] in the city limits,
they could, for example, they might be
[27:08] under restrictions that nobody else was
and vice versa. And I just don't think
[27:12] that's good business. It is confusing to
people and I think
[27:15] if you choose to do that, I I would
strongly encourage you to
[27:19] do it in unison at the same time. You
would move with them.
[27:23] » And when you say within you mean the
state [clears throat] or do you mean
[27:25] Lincoln County?
>> Get the county's involved as well.
[27:29] » So, to me
>> we the last
[27:32] fire season we did, we actually made it
so that we do go with what the county
[27:36] every time. So, we
>> you've got a new regulation
[27:40] » Yes, we do. So, we do
>> So, it does move in a
[27:42] » Yep, I didn't know
>> We already do, yep.
[27:44] » So, we we follow what Lincoln County
what they say, we follow.
[27:48] » Yep. Or it's actually you can go
stricter.
[27:51] » Mhm.
>> That's the way we set it up, but you at
[27:53] the minimum you want to be set the same
place as the fire service in your county
[27:58] are.
>> Okay. So, does that does that answer
[28:01] your question?
>> I believe so. I guess maybe we can get
[28:05] that regulation posted. Perhaps the
newspaper can get the idea of making
[28:09] people aware of it. Maybe
>> And I'll put it on the website, too.
[28:13] » Thank you.
>> Thank you for bringing this to our
[28:15] attention.
[28:18] Thanks, Chief Comey. Appreciate your
time. I'd like to give us some
[28:21] information.
Uh we have public comments on our agenda
[28:25] items. If anybody has anything they'd
like to say.
[28:30] All right. Moving on to adjournment.
Thank you for everyone for coming
[28:35] um to our town council meeting. We love
seeing people here. Thank you for that.
[28:40] » [clears throat]
>> Rock oriented.
[28:46] I'm going to have to get out of here
since it's our last since it's our last
[28:49] day.
>> I don't know. It's 41 minutes.
[28:53] » Yeah.
[28:56] » Catherine asked me how long and I said
I've been here for like 20 minutes.
[28:59] » Yeah, 48 minutes.
>> [laughter]
[29:08] » You know what are you doing?
I was
[29:11] just going to say hi.
>> Yeah, I got to go.
