regulations
[6:30] new laws regulating how we administer
travel expenses got they set it up a
[6:40] for not really just a mandate that every
municipality has to have it pass by June
[6:46] 30th preferably I mean from January 1st
until June 30th but preferably by June
[6:51] 1st by January 1st
sorry so basically this is something
[6:55] mandated by state law we don't have any
control they mandate how much you pay
[7:00] per mile and all that sort of
[7:04] thing
discussion it's not optional right no
[7:09] it's not optional it's required it's a
new law it's a law they just put in
[7:14] effect I think some of our
illustrious guys in Chicago are taking
[7:19] advantage of the system
[7:31] yes I'm move that we accept the
resolution
[7:36] motion second ball nor to accept the
resolution regulating travel expenses

[9:21] approve approve the res the resolution
Appo open meetings act compliance
[9:27] officer roll call Zimmerman yes ctis yes
Weber yes Norris yes SLO yes hon yes
[9:36] Hoffman yes KET
yes uh you have a we have a request from
[9:43] uh people out on on North Jackson that
corner and that's the corner of the 900
[9:49] Road and the park and it is kind of dark
they like the street light but uh you
[9:55] also have the paper work changing the
paper from the power company they want
[10:00] $6,550 put up the
street which I think I I for granted the
[10:06] the corner is a little dark as far as I
know we haven't had a big accident
[10:10] problem out
there 6,000 bucks inot
[10:15] Street put a park near the intersection
yeah from Park that would probably that
[10:23] probably better solution to look into
because this is a a pole and a light and
[10:26] they want it used to be we p so much for
light and they put the light in the pole
[10:31] in well several years ago they started
charging and just what they're doing is
[10:35] they they're getting the fees up high
enough to where it's prohibited they're
[10:40] getting high enough we still pay monthly
too well yeah that that's it's $9 to $10
[10:45] a month for the light once it's put up
but they've done they they progressively
[10:50] jacked that charge up to discourage you
from putting lights
[10:53] up that would be something to look into
with electrician see if we could pull
[10:58] off one of those and put up some sort of
a a light on that corner it is a dark
[11:03] corner I I can't see spend
[11:08] 6550
00 900 is a County Road that's that's
[11:14] 900 is the one that runs along the side
of the park and then Jackson tees into
[11:18] it and that corner is it is a dark
corner
[11:22] just yeah it's very dark it's very dark
but I agree the cost
[11:31] but every other area of city has got
lights so if we can find some
[11:37] alternative that's let's look for an
alternative I don't have a problem
[11:41] putting the light up I just have 6,500
bucks yeah I mean I mean let's put this
[11:47] way we could we could hire an
electrician have him sink the post and
[11:50] put a light up and hook it to our Park
lights and probably for a third of that
[11:56] so I think that's what we need to
explore wouldn't be bad to have for the
[12:00] park
[12:03] either so we will table that and explore
explore options
[12:09] on one of one of the wanted to put on
here consideration donation
[12:23] G what's it it's it hasn't been as much
as it has been I think it's down what
[12:27] 15700 month it's not as high as it used
to
[12:31] be yeah
[12:35] last that's about what it's been around
the
[12:38] 16700
[12:44] on I just at
[12:48] last 9000 I yeah that well see there's
there's one time wer pay anything
[12:55] 000 I was catching up from last year
well in the last year we didn't do
[13:01] anything year before we gave what we
we year before we did me so we're just
[13:08] giving it to them for one month so
whatever you gentlemen want to
[13:12] do first start we done month we we did
and
[13:19] December yeah last year we didn't do
anything so it's what October uh the
[13:24] month of October was
$2,349 we receive
[13:31] 1800 I'd say it's been averaging that
[13:35] 167 nobody knows what's in the
[13:40] F question for we received 14,000 some
dollars so far the year dat through
[13:46] October we had budgeted 16,000 we'
already
[13:49] 14,700 something so way
[13:55] over I think we should do
[14:02] that so the amount is going to be how
much if you want to last time we just
[14:09] said we got that month if you want to
set a amount 1,600 or whatever you want
[14:13] to set then she can just cut it and do
it it's whatever we going to do because
[14:16] we won't actually know what we took in
for December until next month months
[14:21] behind we should have probably got our
heads together and did something like
[14:25] young kids and you know coats or
something
[14:30] they got some organizations that do do a
lot of that I
[14:35] know well they just had a thing I saw
children in some picture on the internet
[14:40] they Ro shopping for the kids there's
organizations that do
[14:45] that so what would you like to do with
this you want to set out or
[14:52] $1,800 you guys $1800 i' said recommend
$1800 I
[14:59] okay a motion the floor from Al kenet
second from donate $1,800 out of the
[15:05] gambling
[15:09] funde made ite made Mo
second to pay the 1,800 out of the
[15:18] gambling fund to the food
pantry Norris yes kennet yes Zimmerman
[15:27] yes Curtis yes SLO
no hlon yes Weber yes hofman
[15:38] yes next item business is ordinance
amending chapter 5 Municipal Code that
[15:43] was
[15:50] water
[15:53] meeting I believe the recommendation was

[16:04] amended Chang changing the disconnect
everybody's got a copy that ordinance
[16:10] any questions or I will make a motion to
approve that ordinance as printed which
[16:15] is basically reducing the Fe from1

[16:27] amending chapter 5 Cod City feary in
relation to water rates and charges roll
[16:32] call hlon yes Zimmerman yes Norris yes

[16:42] yes SLO yes uh the next one is that's
pretty much cut and dry Paul has
[16:47] provided us with a copy of the ly we
worked through it we've looked at the
[16:51] numbers and there's not a lot of
changing this basic property tax if we
[16:56] don't get this in like I can't one of
the municipalities that few years ago
[17:02] without this you don't get your property
tax number back PA's work through it
[17:07] these are the basically as they say the
numbers there not a lot of conjecture so
[17:12] we need to get it fast so we can for to
the county
[17:18] CL we need our money so I'll make
[17:23] motion motion FL

not nope it's not
[18:39] L take your shevy to the levy and
yeah okay you got the
[18:51] overtime got for the two weeks of 38

he's covering because we
[19:07] got you got remember to until April
we're

get it
[19:54] and it's going to go up about $339
[20:07] do we have any public comment must have
missed this but who was appointed the
[20:13] open
[20:23] meeting it's the city clerked both I
have a question regarding when you go
[20:28] into executive session there was a um
meeting a committee meeting you had
[20:34] regarding the windows where I attended
and at the end of that meeting you went
[20:39] into executive session personel now how
is that publicly
[20:44] disclosed I mean you you can go you can
go into executive session can I finish
[20:49] my question go ahead um because I think
Nancy G ship took the notes and usually
[20:54] at the end of notes there would be
something that says they went into EX
[20:58] session but there's nothing that says
that you went into ex executive session
[21:02] that night I know that you you know it's
privileged you can't know what was said
[21:07] but just the fact that you went in Tak
it was probably missed because we didn't
[21:11] have n Nancy gets the recording and then
she takes it off there since it was an
[21:16] open session we didn't record we
recorded that but she probably didn't
[21:19] get put on minutes it was it it was
involving
[21:23] personnel and we're going to go into one
just a little bit for personnel and for
[21:27] acquisition

[21:44] uh sorry what neither John D was there
it was like the 16th or something when I
[21:50] [Music]
[21:54] was was if it was a committee meeting I
