[10:01] uh step up here
[10:09] and uh this is Daniel Hopper Daniel
Hopper is is a uh law enforcement uh he
[10:15] started his law enforcement career in
2009 uh with a as a corrections officer
[10:21] in the W bass County Sheriff's
Department in 2012 Daniel graduated
[10:27] Southwestern Illinois police academy and
became a deputy sheriff for the same
[10:31] Department uh in
2016 Daniel moved to the Mount carel
[10:36] Police Department where he became their
K9 Officer uh in all you know Daniel
[10:41] comes to the Fairfield Police Department
with 12 years of law enforcement
[10:45] experience uh he believes in strong
Community Support uh participates in
[10:51] terrible events Daniel is married has
two children two children um you know
[10:59] you know Daniel is a was was was able to
come with us by the lateral
[11:04] transfer uh you know that saves the city
some income of having to send somebody
[11:10] to the academy uh you know I think
Daniel has met with the school officials
[11:16] uh you know and they gave their approval
U you know at this time I would like to
[11:21] welcome Daniel to the city of fairfeld
[11:41] congratulations Chief when will he be
attending the SRO training 24
[11:47] 24 look forward to lovely things for
that we look forward to you know it's
[11:52] it's kind of one them double sided
swords you know it's it's unfortunate
[11:57] that we have to install a police officer
GRE School uh but it is happens to be
[12:02] today's world U but I I think you know
we've made a positive hire and things
[12:09] will work out amazingly for
everybody moving on to item number three
[12:17] uh and again uh this is a purchase of a
police department vehicle that's
[12:21] something that the city has done quite
frequently as we purchase a vehicle um
[12:28] then we roll one of the existing Patrol
that we to the chief wants to retire and
[12:34] that usually goes to another department
uh within the city
[12:40] um I don't know the time frame on
getting the police vehicle you know
[12:46] sometimes it might take six months
sometimes it might take 16 months I know
[12:51] that the city has not approved
Appropriations uh but we will be having
[12:56] those
Appropriations uh Thurs the meeting
[12:59] Thursday and hopefully we will get the
council to approve those Appropriations
[13:03] but I think uh time might be the factor
that we um go ahead and
[13:10] authorize um the purchase of the police
vehicle it is it will be in his
[13:16] Appropriations
um again the city council you know at
[13:21] all the times that we've bid ask for
bids we've only got one local business
[13:26] that bids uh and again uh that is
lemon's and it will take a super
[13:34] majority of the council uh to purchase
that vehicle from lons
[13:41] again I think we need to purchase local
when we can it's here the service is
[13:46] here it's just the correct thing to do
discussions on purchasing a new vehicle
[13:54] when was the last time we purchased a
was it a couple years
[13:57] ago we did
[14:01] we have four in
service five already in
[14:07] Department which department will get the
rotated I I believe this department will
[14:12] be the airport Department Travis is in
need of a new a vehicle uh Street and
[14:17] Bridge has
one um gas department has one waste
[14:23] water has one street the garage has
currently has one and the fire depart
[14:29] has
one again that it's just that it's it's
[14:33] positive for us you know instead of
buying two having to maybe buy two
[14:37] vehicles we buy one uh that we can push
out and save the city some
[14:45] money discussion are there an available
grants for
[14:50] that uh we did apply through
the local
[15:06] discussion if none is there a motion to
approve the purchase of a new vehicle
[15:11] for the Fairfield Police Department make
that
[15:14] motion
second have a motion by Alderman Dey

[15:43] planning letter ker CPA is the
organization that does the city audit uh
[15:48] they was here two weeks ago I believe
and spent a week uh but part of
[15:54] their requirement is that and I'll call
it an engagement letter that they kind
[15:59] of give the city an engagement letter uh
you know laying out their expectations
[16:05] what they're going to do they follow
the requirements for them U and your
[16:13] letter has been
included like I say there's nothing to
[16:17] vote on I just want to make you aware
that uh we had received this you know
[16:22] that we've received
it any
[16:27] questions if not we move on to item
number five is is an iecc training
[16:34] agreement um this is probably something
new that this year uh through some some
[16:43] lessons learned through some other
organizations and with the state of
[16:47] Illinois um you know we need to properly
train uh our employees and we need to
[16:54] properly document those
trainings uh to keep everybody safe and
[17:00] sound uh we've done we've done some
training already uh you know some of
[17:05] those trainings include confined
spacing uh entry forklift operations
[17:11] hazardous material uh but it's you know
it's something that you know maybe the
[17:16] city fell short on uh in previous years
that that the training wasn't done but
[17:22] you know I got when we got notified of
some deficiencies U you know we got with
[17:28] FCC
they done the training here in City Hall
[17:32] this agreement will they will continue
to do that they will have one safety
[17:36] meeting per month and the cost is
$250 to the city U
[17:44] again it needs to happen we need to show
that we are continuing our
[17:50] education

[17:56] happen any questions on the training

[18:37] item number six on this evening's agenda
would be a zoning board appointment uh
[18:44] at current member Jenny farmer who was
on the zoning board moved away to Nomas
[18:50] I believe so it created a vacancy that
needed to be filled uh I am going to ask
[18:56] that the city council appr the
appointment of Carissa Miller uh to fill
[19:03] that
[19:08] vacancy

[19:35] I say no does anyone wish to
abstain welcome
[19:42] Carissa uh item number seven is a
dangerous building and condemnation
[19:49] proceedings for 120 Young Drive uh if
you there are pictures included in your
[19:55] packet um you know we've had the chief
his department has had discussions uh
[20:01] with
the trust company that are the asset
[20:05] management company that holds that
property uh Chief has worked with them
[20:11] for you know almost a year in trying to
get some movement down there uh they
[20:18] they did do some
minor uh minor stuff they they they mow
[20:24] but you know if you take a look at the
pictures there there's holes in the
[20:28] roofs it's it's in disarray uh there's a
snapshot of the garage uh that's leaning
[20:34] heavily to the west and if it happens to
fall it's going to fall on the
[20:38] neighbor's
fence um you know I I think this asset
[20:43] management company knows the proceedings
that we're getting ready to take and
[20:48] they just asked us to keep them a breast
of what's happening is there anything
[20:53] you'd like to add Chief that's correct
I've worked with them they made some
[20:57] improvements but nothing
[21:01] structur and
again please understand that it's not
[21:07] going to be cleaned up
tomorrow there's a process that it has
[21:11] to go uh and you know we'll we'll
hopefully get
[21:17] there but the wheels don't turn real
fast
[21:23] questions is there motion to approve the
this as to be deed a dangerous building
[21:29] make that motion second have a motion by
Al e second
[21:35] by to declare the above property as
dangerous and authorize the attorney to
[21:42] begin condation
proceedings vote re yes stall yes yes e
[21:50] yes cherl eberry yes Mar yes M yes M yes
and that is approved uh that will
[21:59] conclude the routine business for the
city council meeting uh we'll move on in
[22:04] to the financial report uh this is the
first month of the new budget year for
[22:10] the City of Fairfield you can see their
May expenses total 1,
[22:17] 15104
36 we had May revenues of1 Milli
[22:24] 54932 which led to a positive cash flow
of $$
[22:29] 38,866 for the
month uh even though the cash flow from
[22:35] a showed a
negative
[22:38] 273,000 the majority of that
255 I believe somewhere close to that
[22:45] was for the paint painting of the water
tire out by the college uh that that
[22:51] dollar amount is not to show up as an
expense it is a capitalized expenditure
[22:56] so it'll show up in a depreciation
schedu payroll for the month of May was
[23:03] 57,8
77 gaming income for the month was
[23:10] 14532 and sales tax income was
[23:18] $7,881 uh the starting balance for May
in the general fund was 1, 97,1
[23:26] 133 minus the EXP the balance today or
at the end of the month was
[23:32] 1,633
26143 again please remember that there
[23:38] is 1,
35,1
[23:42] 18126 set in an interest bearing
CD um you know so we're off to a
[23:49] positive start you know we hope that the
city can continue to make those U
[23:54] positive months but realizing sometimes
it doesn't always work out that way are
[24:00] there any questions on the financial
[24:05] report that will move us into the
miscellaneous
[24:08] items does anyone have any miscellaneous
items that they would like to bring
[24:18] forth hearing no miscellaneous items we
there is no need for an executive
[24:24] session so at this point I would ask the
council for a motion toour the
[24:31] meeting Alderman stall second Alderman
Miguel all in favor say iose say no does
[24:39] anyone wish tostain thank you all for
