1
00:01:20,720 --> 00:02:20,630
Alicia, give me a second.

2
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:53,910
Two

3
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:09,910
I'm not

4
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:17,589
sure.

5
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:19,440
» Welcome everybody. This is a regular

6
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,800
meeting and public hearing of the

7
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,640
Grantsville City Council. For the

8
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,760
record, today's date is April 1st. This

9
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,680
is not a joke. So, here we are, 2026,

10
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,680
and the time is 7 p.m. Then, this

11
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,200
meeting is being held at the Grantsville

12
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680
City Council Chambers located at 429

13
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,000
East Main Street in Grantsville, Utah,

14
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,040
as well as electronically by Zoom. I am

15
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,640
Mayor Heidi Hammond, and I will conduct

16
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,720
a roll call. Council member Thomas

17
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,519
>> here.

18
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:46,239
>> Williams,

19
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:46,799
>> here.

20
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:47,360
>> Butler,

21
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,239
>> here. Dalton. Oh, and Council Member

22
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:53,040
Skinner is excused. So, I apologize. I

23
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,879
didn't remember that. So, yes, she will

24
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:56,400
not be joining us tonight. She's out of

25
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,280
town. Uh, next, I've asked Les Peterson

26
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,120
to lead us in the pledge of allegiance.

27
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,760
>> You all please rise. Those of you who

28
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,879
are military veterans, you may salute or

29
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:10,959
place your hand over your heart. The

30
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:13,760
choice is yours. When the command is

31
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,920
given, please render the proper respect

32
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,600
to the flag. Present armed.

33
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,199
Please follow me in the pledge of

34
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:22,479
allegiance.

35
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:26,240
>> I aliance to the flag of the United

36
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,440
States of America and to the republic

37
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,639
for which it stands, one nation under

38
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:35,919
God, indivisible, with liberty and

39
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:44,150
justice for all. To you may be seated.

40
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,550
» Thank you very much, Les.

41
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,880
Uh the first item we have on our agenda

42
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,040
tonight is for public comment. There

43
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,199
were two comments that were received in

44
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:57,520
support of bringing back the rodeo. They

45
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240
will not be read, but they have been um

46
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,080
entered into public record and they have

47
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,919
been distributed to the council members.

48
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:06,800
So, they have all seen those comments.

49
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,960
Um

50
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,520
the floor is open to the public to bring

51
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,600
their concerns to the council. And if

52
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,680
you are on Zoom and would like to make a

53
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240
comment, please use the raise your hand

54
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,880
feature for that and Alicia will let you

55
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:29,830
know when it is your turn to speak.

56
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:32,880
Good evening. Uh my name is Kevin Casey,

57
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,680
a citizen of Grantsville. Before this

58
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,520
council votes tonight to raise our

59
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,680
rates, I want to put seven years of city

60
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,400
decisions on the record for the people

61
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,639
because this is not a revenue problem.

62
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:46,400
This is a planning and accountability

63
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,479
problem. This has been a problem known

64
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:50,960
since 2018, which equals 7 years of

65
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,160
inaction by this body. In 2018, city

66
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,840
officials and elected representatives

67
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:57,680
knew we had a wastewater compliance

68
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,759
problem. The state's phosphorous rules

69
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,160
were known. The clock was ticking and

70
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,960
yet seven years later, here we are with

71
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,440
zero dollars budgeted for sewer capital

72
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,880
improvements. 0% asset renewal funding

73
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,639
confirmed in the city's own planning

74
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,280
reports. A project cost has ballooned

75
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,960
from 32 million in 2022 to 39 to 48

76
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,360
million today, which is a direct

77
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,000
consequence of this delay.

78
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,120
A hard regulatory deadline of March 2029

79
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,319
we now face and have no option. This was

80
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:32,560
an absolute failure of planning and

81
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,880
elected accountability. There has been

82
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,080
time to plan, budget, and save, but the

83
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,120
will was not there. Three of our elected

84
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,800
representatives have been in their seats

85
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,000
since 2022. Mayor Hammond, Council

86
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,840
Member Butler, and Council Member

87
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:50,160
Williams were all sworn in together in

88
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,520
January 2022. All three were present and

89
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,600
voting for four of these seven years.

90
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,440
Every budget they approve funded

91
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,440
bureaucratic growth while allocating

92
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,039
zero dollars to the infrastructure

93
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:04,080
crisis they knew existed. Elected

94
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,240
accountability means you are responsible

95
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,560
for what's happened on your watch,

96
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,280
including what did not happen.

97
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,199
While our infrastructure was neglected,

98
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,520
the bureaucracy grew. What did our

99
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,759
representatives vote for and approved

100
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:19,680
during those years while the sewer

101
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,000
problem went unressed? Well, the city

102
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,319
budget grew by 84% from 11.3 to 20.8

103
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,880
million. Employee compensation growth

104
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,039
has grown 85%.

105
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:34,479
And staffing growth has grown 45%.

106
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:36,960
Spending grew 84%.

107
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,759
Staffing grew 45% while the population

108
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,560
has only grown 30%.

109
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,960
The city's response to all of this has

110
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,160
been zero accountability yet 100%

111
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,560
extraction from the taxpayers. Faced

112
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,400
with a crisis entirely of its own

113
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,240
making, the city has proposed one

114
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,280
solution. We, the citizens, pay more.

115
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,440
What has not been proposed, discussed,

116
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,520
or even mentioned by city officials or

117
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,520
these elected representatives, is no

118
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,000
spending reductions of any kind. No

119
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,400
hiring freeze despite staffing growth

120
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400
already outpacing our population by a

121
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,599
factor of 1.5. No reduction in the 40%

122
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:16,080
of the budget consumed by payroll. Not

123
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,160
even an acknowledgment that seven years

124
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,080
of zero capital reinvestment was a

125
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,720
mistake. Every solution presented

126
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,319
instead extracts more from us. A 147%

127
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:28,560
sewer rate increase over four years,

128
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,879
higher impact fees ultimately absorbed

129
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:33,039
by the homeowner, and long-term bond

130
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,760
debt placed on our public balance sheet.

131
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,240
Every solution, or I'm sorry, the city

132
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,560
has failed to plan and the city refuses

133
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:42,240
to share in the burden of its own

134
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,800
causing. Yet, the city expects citizens

135
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,959
to pay for both the failure and the

136
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:49,920
solution with no reduction or correction

137
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,440
in the government that caused this

138
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,080
problem. The question this council must

139
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,800
answer, the citizens, neither old or

140
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,440
new, caused this crisis. We were not

141
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,120
consulted on why the city failed to

142
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,360
budget and plan for this. We were not

143
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,040
given a choice between growing city

144
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,760
staff by 45% or funding our own sewer

145
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,920
system, but we are being handed the

146
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,120
bill. Before voting to raise our rates

147
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,959
again, this council owes us a direct

148
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:17,120
answer. What specific spending

149
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040
reductions, hiring freezes, or budget

150
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,959
cuts is the city prepared to make to

151
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:22,720
share in the burden of its own failure

152
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,600
to plan? As I have stated numerous times

153
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,839
from this podium, the bureaucracies do

154
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:30,640
not restrain themselves. They expand,

155
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,360
which is precisely why you were elected

156
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,839
to impose discipline, protect us, the

157
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:38,000
taxpayers. If the only tools this

158
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,240
council will use are rate increases and

159
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,640
new debt, we deserve to know that

160
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,959
plainly so that everyone in this room

161
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:46,560
and everyone in this city knows the kind

162
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,360
of representation in government we have.

163
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,800
This is a direct demand for

164
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,200
accountability and this is not rhetoric.

165
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,800
This is directly from the city's own

166
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,720
numbers and own budgets. Thank you.

167
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,920
>> Thank you. Um, multiple false statements

168
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,920
were made in that claim, but we will

169
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,839
address those when we get to the sewer

170
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:07,360
treatment discussion. Are there any

171
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,710
other comments?

172
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,120
» Uh, before I start, is it can

173
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,000
>> you state your name, please?

174
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,120
>> Oh, Caleb Martin.

175
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:17,680
>> Thank you.

176
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:19,680
>> Uh, can the public comment be about any

177
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:20,800
concern in the city?

178
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,200
>> Yes.

179
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,040
>> Okay. Uh so I'm concerned about

180
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,560
uh car dependence in our city where

181
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,120
uh everyone drives a car which makes it

182
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,360
more unsafe. There were over 60,000 car

183
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,160
crashes in Utah in 2023 alone and you

184
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,079
know our our streets are built super

185
00:10:40,079 --> 00:10:43,120
wide. I measured my own road outside of

186
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,880
my house. It's like about 14 ft wide and

187
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,720
highways are about 12 ft wide. So it

188
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,959
encourages speeding

189
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:55,040
also. uh everything is spread out so

190
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,030
people have to drive

191
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,360
uh because and then it's spread out

192
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,360
because of uklidian zoning which like

193
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,680
separates residential commercial all of

194
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,240
that uh as well as having parking

195
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,399
minimums which states that every

196
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:14,320
business must have so many parking lots.

197
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,399
Um, and most of the time it goes unused,

198
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:19,360
which just generates infrastructure

199
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,200
costs and it does not generate any tax

200
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,360
revenue in return.

201
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,550
>> Um,

202
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:28,240
yeah, that's about it.

203
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,560
>> I I applaud you as a youth having the

204
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:32,079
courage to come and speak. Thank you.

205
00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:32,800
>> I'm nervous.

206
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,440
>> No, you're great.

207
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,640
>> Can I say something to that?

208
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,279
>> Yes, please.

209
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:37,279
>> Um, I know we usually don't have the

210
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,680
opportunity, Caleb. Um, we have a

211
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:42,399
Grantsville Youth Council. I would

212
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:46,399
encourage you to to be involved in that.

213
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:49,200
Um it's a fantastic opportunity to get

214
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,120
involved in your community. So anyway,

215
00:11:51,120 --> 00:12:01,030
thanks for your comment.

216
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,760
» Hello, my name is Christine Clayton. I

217
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,240
grew up riding in the Grantsville Arena

218
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,120
starting at the age of 6 years old. I

219
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,720
competed here and I won many trophies

220
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,279
and belt buckles and I even earned my

221
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:15,200
first high school rodeial belt buckle

222
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,440
right here in Gratzville.

223
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,440
Six years ago, my family decided to move

224
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,399
here and I was very proud that the arena

225
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:24,800
was just down the street.

226
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,720
That's why I strongly support bringing a

227
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,440
hometown rodeo back to our community.

228
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,600
Rodeos preserve our western heritage and

229
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,279
keep those traditions alive for the next

230
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:36,240
generation. They build community pride

231
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,399
by bringing families together,

232
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:41,120
neighbors, and local businesses.

233
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,000
They also provide an economic boost by

234
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,920
drawing visitors

235
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,600
and they offer family-friendly

236
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,800
environment where people of all ages, can come out and

237
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,560
enjoy. I fully support Rodeo

238
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,639
and bringing it back to this community

239
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:00,320
to give the next generation the same

240
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,760
kind of memories that I have of this

241
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,079
community. Thank you. Any

242
00:13:06,079 --> 00:13:10,629
additional comments?

243
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:12,959
» I'm Tracy Haw and I'm also in favor of

244
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:16,079
bringing back the rodeo. That's it.

245
00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:17,680
>> Same same kind of reasons.

246
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,120
>> Same exact reason.

247
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:27,509
>> Thank you.

248
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:30,560
» Yep. Mark Nielson, president of

249
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:34,880
Gransville. So, uh um um I like the idea

250
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,079
of the rodeo myself, but uh no offense

251
00:13:38,079 --> 00:13:40,639
people or anything, but man, I come from

252
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:43,200
a smaller town than this. And our

253
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,040
facility was a lot bigger. We had a lot

254
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,440
more stuff. And I mean, I wish you guys

255
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,200
could have the rodeo because man, I'm

256
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,480
all old farm boy myself, but I just

257
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,920
don't see Yeah, you guys aren't even

258
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,920
close to what we had back home. And

259
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,279
yeah, and you guys even got five times

260
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:02,480
the population, too. So, but anyway, I

261
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,839
have to agree with the first gentleman

262
00:14:03,839 --> 00:14:06,399
that spoke out. There's some public

263
00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:08,560
concerns here that need to be addressed.

264
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,440
Um um and then the gentleman that

265
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,160
brought up on our roads, man. Um like

266
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,680
the gentleman said, you guys are city

267
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:16,720
council. You're supposed to be

268
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,920
representing us. And um

269
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,160
I'm sure you guys live around here or

270
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,079
travel, whatever. But I mean, you guys

271
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:25,760
are actually the first city I've ever

272
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,720
been to or or even my boys have worked

273
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,519
at. And uh you don't have a bypass road

274
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:33,440
for all your truckers. You guys bring

275
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,360
them right down here on the main street.

276
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,199
Uh that's wear and tear on your roads

277
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:39,519
and everything. Your structural uh um

278
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:41,440
your engineers, your planners, the

279
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,639
planning people, they ought to know

280
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:44,720
this. Uh kind of weird because I follow

281
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,480
so many of the truckers because I don't

282
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,639
work. I'm the slacker freeloader. saying

283
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,560
I follow so many trucks, man, going out

284
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,399
to the Walmart and down that main

285
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:53,920
highway where they can come that back

286
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,160
road and I mean alleviate a lot of this

287
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,839
traffic and these accidents that are

288
00:14:57,839 --> 00:15:01,120
happening kind of flabbergasted that the

289
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,040
last five years that now you guys got

290
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,199
main traffic going down this road here.

291
00:15:05,199 --> 00:15:06,959
That absolutely makes no sense when you

292
00:15:06,959 --> 00:15:08,320
got another road that they can go down

293
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,279
on. And the second thing is is the

294
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:14,800
gentleman here uh uh accountability. Um

295
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,480
everyone's accountability. It doesn't

296
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,560
matter who went or how many years goes

297
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,199
by. And now you guys are putting a

298
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:24,399
burden on the uh um uh uh people because

299
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:27,120
of the sewer thing. Well, last year I

300
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,279
had to go and report to the city that

301
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:32,000
you had people that was stealing water

302
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,240
out of your guys' houses out here. Had

303
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,240
the connections to go right to your to

304
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,160
the fire hydrant and was filling their

305
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,000
uh water trucks to do these water

306
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,639
projects out here. um that's money that

307
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:44,639
we're paying, you know, the water, the

308
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:46,720
cleaning and everything, but nothing

309
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,120
seems to be important, you know. So, I'm

310
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,519
a little confused why you guys are

311
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:53,600
asking, you know, for us for an increase

312
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,839
when we have all this other stuff. And

313
00:15:55,839 --> 00:15:59,040
it took us over two times before, you

314
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,880
know, hey, they had to have the uh

315
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,040
counter on the vehic or on the on the

316
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,399
hose that they was filling up the truck

317
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:06,399
so forth and that. But I mean, it was

318
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,240
funny that we go, we're taking pictures

319
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,759
of these guys and they know what's going

320
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:12,160
on. And by the time we go from, we'll

321
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,079
say, let's see here, where the dollar

322
00:16:14,079 --> 00:16:16,880
store is down to the city office. We go

323
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,639
from there back, they've already picked

324
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:20,399
up and moved, you know, we got the

325
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:21,839
pictures and everything that we showed.

326
00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:24,160
And like I said, you guys are confusing

327
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,160
because you guys aren't addressing

328
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,720
anything and stealing. Hey, that that's

329
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,720
a crime. Like I said, no one's above

330
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,279
that. So, uh, so yeah. And you guys

331
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:34,639
can't say you're not aware of it because

332
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:36,320
like I said, it happened two times last

333
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,399
year. You guys have to be aware of it.

334
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:40,480
You can't sit here and say, "No, I I

335
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,000
don't I'm not aware of it." I mean,

336
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,680
that's like the thing I brought up of

337
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,440
the uh um violating people's rights and

338
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,399
the civil rights and that violating them

339
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:53,040
in that. Not one of you even asked then,

340
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,800
hey, what what what's going on? What is

341
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,720
it? You know, the handicap around here

342
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,639
is terrible. It's not up to date. And

343
00:16:58,639 --> 00:16:59,920
you guys for the last four or five

344
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,759
years, because like I said, I've got the videos, everything. It's on tape,

345
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:06,160
man. You guys haven't done anything. You

346
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,959
don't care. You have to care. That's a

347
00:17:08,959 --> 00:17:11,760
federal law. I mean, like like the

348
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,240
gentleman said, no one is above the law,

349
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,000
you know. Let's get our stuff together.

350
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,480
You got too many people moving in. Thank

351
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,280
you.

352
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:28,390
>> Thank you.

353
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,520
No, go ahead.

354
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,960
>> Sorry.

355
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,280
>> Um, I'll make this really quick, but I

356
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,840
just want to say that uh I'm Sam Martin

357
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,600
and uh I support uh my or I second my

358
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,200
brother's

359
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,400
um statements. I think that

360
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,320
um transportation of any kind, whether

361
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,200
it be just normal walking, cars, um

362
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,919
public transit or whatever, you know, it

363
00:17:55,919 --> 00:18:00,320
should be safe as safe as possible. And

364
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,720
um it it should be

365
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,440
reasonably done to an extent to be safe

366
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240
while still um not being of course

367
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,840
impractical, right? and that type of

368
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,039
thing. Okay. Sorry.

369
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:14,720
>> No, thank you. Thank you for your

370
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:20,710
comments.

371
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,679
» All right. My name is Jolene Jenkins. I

372
00:18:23,679 --> 00:18:24,720
still

373
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,120
>> Yeah, I'm like you guys come talk to me

374
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,679
later, but I still remember my way here.

375
00:18:29,679 --> 00:18:31,520
Uh just a couple of things that I want

376
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,120
to bring up today. Uh, first of all, I

377
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,600
wanted to thank you for your support and

378
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,200
the work that you've done so far to help

379
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,720
with our Veterans Park. And I I want to

380
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,240
encourage you to vote in favor of this

381
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,480
bid that you have before you tonight.

382
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,640
Um, it's a local company and I I think

383
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,520
he understands how much this means to

384
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,120
our community and will do a good job.

385
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,320
and and he understands also that a lot

386
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,960
of that money has come from community

387
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,520
members donating what they've got and

388
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,280
giving and our veterans just hitting the

389
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,559
pavement and working for donations and

390
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:16,799
grants and things like that. We have a

391
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:18,000
couple of other grants that we've

392
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,520
recently applied for. We're hoping to um

393
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,960
keep finding sponsors and donations and

394
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,840
grants and cuz we we still have a ways

395
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,799
ahead of us, but uh we do appreciate all

396
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:32,240
the support and the work that you're

397
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,799
doing so far. And hopefully we I I

398
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:39,280
really feel like once this work starts,

399
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,160
when actual on the ground work starts,

400
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,679
then it's just going to start rolling

401
00:19:43,679 --> 00:19:45,200
and we're going to get this done and be

402
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,559
able to honor our veterans. Um I I've

403
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:52,400
been amazed. I can't even How many names

404
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,520
do we have so far?

405
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,200
>> A little over,200.

406
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,400
>> So yeah, we have a little over,200 names

407
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,400
of local veterans that will go on that

408
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,559
wall so far. And that's just the tip of

409
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:05,120
the iceberg. We haven't got everyone. We

410
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,360
and we encourage the community to submit

411
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:10,400
those names. We've got forms on the city

412
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,280
website where you can submit those names

413
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,679
of of your loved ones, your veterans

414
00:20:15,679 --> 00:20:19,679
that are from here in Grantsville. So,

415
00:20:19,679 --> 00:20:22,080
just I I hope that and that you'll

416
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,400
continue to support us and we can see

417
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,000
this accomplished here pretty sooner

418
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,200
rather than later. And the second thing

419
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,320
I honestly I'm glad you got in your

420
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:41,039
seats. Um, as far as like I I I I think

421
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:45,520
it's it's hard to look past all the

422
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,320
inner workings that are happening and

423
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,159
all of the things that you all the

424
00:20:50,159 --> 00:20:52,000
moving pieces that you've got to keep in

425
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,039
place. Um, I know I I do wish we had

426
00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:59,679
this water wastewater treatment plant

427
00:20:59,679 --> 00:21:01,440
built already because it is something

428
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,840
we've been working on for quite a few

429
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,919
years. And um, and that's the beauty of

430
00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:10,799
government is that it takes

431
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:12,799
time, right? You had to go through these

432
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:15,280
different processes. Um, just one thing

433
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,840
that I would encourage you to because I

434
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,320
get it. we need it and we've got to pay

435
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,240
for it somehow and and I I understand

436
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,880
the rate increases, but um if you would

437
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,360
consider researching if there's a

438
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:34,400
possibility to have a fee reduction and

439
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,600
you could set the criteria for um the

440
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,520
elderly for you know like you you decide

441
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,400
on that but um that those are the people

442
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,280
that I worry about the most um with the

443
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,320
property tax increases. Um, you know,

444
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,200
like different socioeconomic groups and

445
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,679
the elderly. Like if you could research

446
00:21:55,679 --> 00:21:58,159
what other cities have done or what we

447
00:21:58,159 --> 00:22:00,799
could do here in Grantsville to maybe

448
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,200
reduce those those fees for those

449
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,919
people, I think that would help our

450
00:22:05,919 --> 00:22:08,000
community and we can still get the

451
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,799
things we need without hurting the most

452
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:12,799
vulnerable in our community. Thank you

453
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:23,029
for the work you do.

454
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:26,320
Good evening, Lorine Simpson, citizen.

455
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,919
So,

456
00:22:27,919 --> 00:22:31,120
several meetings ago, I had asked a few

457
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,760
questions. Um,

458
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,000
but I first off want to say on the

459
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,919
rodeo, I too grew up in a small town in

460
00:22:39,919 --> 00:22:44,080
the country, Wyoming, beautiful, and we

461
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,039
had wonderful rodeos.

462
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:49,280
Um, I'm not opposed to having the rodeo

463
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,360
come back. I think it would be great,

464
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:53,600
but my question is, where's the funding

465
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,840
coming from to support that? and what

466
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,919
else can you do to raise funds to

467
00:22:59,919 --> 00:23:03,919
support bringing the rodeo back? Um

468
00:23:03,919 --> 00:23:07,440
there I asked before on the sold water

469
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,039
shares

470
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:13,200
uh $18 million I believe. What is the

471
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,559
city's plans to do with that money?

472
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:19,440
because if it's going for something

473
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,400
other than alleviating the burden on the

474
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,159
citizens for that treatment plant

475
00:23:26,159 --> 00:23:30,240
that should be heavily reconsidered. Um

476
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,799
it should go to that and strictly for

477
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:39,520
nothing else but that. Um, I also asked

478
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,960
you, Mayor Hammond, who we can contact

479
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,039
at the Capitol, senators, um,

480
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:52,240
congressmen, anybody that we could write

481
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,200
to to stress our concerns

482
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,200
and ask for assistance from the state

483
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,520
and let them know

484
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,720
what um, predicament that this city is

485
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,400
in and what how you're putting the

486
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120
citizens

487
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:12,480
a financial burden.

488
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,080
>> May I interrupt you for just a second on

489
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:14,880
that?

490
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,600
>> I have spoke with many senators and with

491
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,159
their staff many people at the state

492
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:22,159
just in the last week doing everything

493
00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:24,480
we can to address that issue and we'll

494
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,640
be discussing that more as we get to

495
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,360
that topic. I I have worked at a company

496
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,919
for 30 years

497
00:24:33,919 --> 00:24:37,360
and have been a union member of that

498
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:40,799
company for 30 years and I know the

499
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:44,880
power of voice and lobbying

500
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,640
can it can work wonders but yet we have

501
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,400
not I asked you said you didn't know

502
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,080
when I asked you

503
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,360
>> and I've since I find that fault

504
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:00,480
statement because I believe you did know

505
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,720
when I asked you. Um,

506
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,720
we need to get that out there so that

507
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,760
all the citizens can send a postcard,

508
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,600
make a phone call, anything because when

509
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,880
they hear from

510
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,640
5,000 6,000 people, it makes a

511
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,679
difference rather than hearing from a

512
00:25:25,679 --> 00:25:27,679
few, you know.

513
00:25:27,679 --> 00:25:30,720
>> I agree. And so that information needs

514
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,400
to be given to us so that we can start

515
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,480
doing our part to alleviate this cost

516
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,000
and stuff. But I would like an answer on

517
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,279
the money from the water shares.

518
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,400
How you going to fund the rodeo and a

519
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,240
precedence? Everything takes a

520
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,279
precedence and you need to put

521
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:56,320
what's the most important thing and then

522
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,799
go down. What is second important? What

523
00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,520
is third? What can we set off for a

524
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,880
later date? Because um there has to be a

525
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,679
plan and you can't just,

526
00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:13,120
you know, I want this to happen and so

527
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:15,440
I'm going to ask for the funds. There's

528
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,440
a priority and we need to stick to that

529
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,360
priority and that's up to you guys to

530
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:21,520
tell us what it is. What's your

531
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:34,390
priority? Thank you. Thank you.

532
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,760
Hi, I'm Arlene Mayor and first of all, I

533
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,000
want to say that I hope that you will

534
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,200
approve the funding for the veterans

535
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,880
committee. Um, I just think it's

536
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,000
Grantsville is quite a large community

537
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,880
these days. And before we started this

538
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,799
project, my husband and I went to all

539
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,600
the outlying communities around here.

540
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,120
Stockton has a veterans park. Um, Vernon

541
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:06,080
has a veterans park. They're all tiny little towns and yet they all have

542
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,720
that. And I think it it's really

543
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,039
important that Grantsville start to

544
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:12,960
honor its veterans. and I hope that you

545
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,960
will improve the funding to start this

546
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,360
project. We have been a lot of years

547
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,320
working on this and many of our

548
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,159
committee members have actually dipped

549
00:27:22,159 --> 00:27:24,000
into their own pockets to try to get

550
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,720
this going. So, I really hope that this

551
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,679
will get approved so that we can

552
00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:32,640
actually see something happening and

553
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,360
that we will get this done eventually.

554
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:38,640
I'm hoping sooner than later, but I

555
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,960
realize how slow sometimes wheels turn,

556
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,840
but I really hope that this will be a

557
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,960
step towards getting us going towards

558
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,799
getting this finished eventually. Um the

559
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:52,400
second thing I just want to comment on

560
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,520
is the rodeo. Um I have personally put

561
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,880
together over probably 20 rodeos. I was

562
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,880
the rodeo club adviser for Grantsville

563
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,200
High School for 12 years and I put on

564
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,360
high school rodeos. We also did a

565
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,679
jackpot for probably five or six years,

566
00:28:11,679 --> 00:28:13,760
maybe 10 years. I can't remember. I'm

567
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,760
getting old. Uh I'm one of the senior

568
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,279
citizens that was mentioned, but

569
00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:23,279
um I' I've hated seeing the arena wasted

570
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,600
down there. So, I would love to see a

571
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,640
rodeo come back. Um I just hope that you

572
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,919
all realize what a big chunk that is to

573
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:34,399
chew. I've been there, done that. I know

574
00:28:34,399 --> 00:28:36,320
the work that's involved. I know the

575
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,799
cost that's involved, but I would like

576
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:40,399
to see it come back and I would like to

577
00:28:40,399 --> 00:28:42,960
see the arena fixed up again to where

578
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,679
that's a feasible option. Um, the only

579
00:28:45,679 --> 00:28:48,640
reason we quit was because the state

580
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,039
high school, Utah high school state

581
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:52,799
association mandated that we go up to

582
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,600
Desireette Peak and so it broke our

583
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,320
hearts to leave our little hometown and

584
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,120
go up there. And uh, when my daughters

585
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,760
quit rodeoing, that's when I decided

586
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,960
that's it. I don't want to go to

587
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,399
Desireette Peak. I don't have children

588
00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:09,760
involved anymore. But I hope that it can

589
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,000
be brought back and that it will be an

590
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,840
event that Grantsville can be proud of

591
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,559
and that we can continue. Thank you.

592
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:18,960
>> Thank you.

593
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:25,590
>> Any other comments?

594
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,880
» Hi, my name is Britney Cobell. Um, I've

595
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,880
been a resident in Gville for 12 years

596
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,080
now. uh moved out here to raise my kids

597
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,480
in a small community. Um and I find

598
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,880
myself

599
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,559
struggling

600
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:48,080
um recently become a single mom and

601
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,960
of all the options that I had to look

602
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,720
at.

603
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,200
The last option was trying to leave

604
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,399
Grantsville so that I could afford a

605
00:29:58,399 --> 00:30:03,039
living and provide for my kids. um

606
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:07,520
the increase or the sewer bill.

607
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,510
I can't afford it.

608
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,880
They will have to make me decide, okay,

609
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,679
do my kids need clothes this month or do

610
00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:19,919
they get fruit this month because I have

611
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:23,520
to pay a sewer bill. And I know a lot of

612
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,559
residents feel that way. I know just

613
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:29,600
from personal neighbors and friends and

614
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,840
family that live out here that are also

615
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,399
on a limited income, it's it's really

616
00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:37,760
going to affect them. Um,

617
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,200
I've had to make some extreme decisions

618
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,240
over the past two years to make sure

619
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,760
that my kids are well taken care of. um

620
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,799
at a personal sacrifice to myself. I

621
00:30:50,799 --> 00:30:53,360
don't provide much for myself because I

622
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,279
need to be able to provide for my kids

623
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:57,039
and

624
00:30:57,039 --> 00:30:58,880
if this increase goes through like I

625
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,799
can't pay it. You won't get the money

626
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:04,399
from me because I don't have it. And um

627
00:31:04,399 --> 00:31:06,480
just I know you guys are working hard. I

628
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,600
know you're trying to find all the

629
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,919
solutions that you can, but I think just

630
00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:13,760
having that in the back of your minds

631
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,600
that this was really going to affect a

632
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,480
lot of people. And so I appreciate

633
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,760
everything. Thank you.

634
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,789

» My name is Diane Alvort. Um I'm here

637
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,399
about the sewer um meeting tonight. Um

638
00:31:36,399 --> 00:31:39,760
in the letter that we got from the city,

639
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,960
it says that the cost of a new fine

640
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,919
bubble diffuser biological nutrient

641
00:31:45,919 --> 00:31:49,600
removal treatment facility with tear

642
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,320
tiari didn't know that word filtration

643
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,399
and disinfection. It's called the

644
00:31:54,399 --> 00:31:56,000
project.

645
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,200
My question is, this system that we're putting in

646
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,320
with the sewer with this with the sewer

647
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,080
um containment project in the system

648
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,799
that is filtering? Do we need this type

649
00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:16,399
of filtration system? Is it the system

650
00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:18,240
that has all the bells and whistles and

651
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,799
it's going to be all great or is it just

652
00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:24,720
going to meet what we need? Can we lower

653
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,559
the costs

654
00:32:26,559 --> 00:32:28,880
by doing something that's just going to

655
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,840
get us through what we need instead of

656
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,039
having all this extra things? It sounds

657
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:38,159
really wonderful. This fine bubble

658
00:32:38,159 --> 00:32:40,880
diffuser biological nutrient removal

659
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,000
treatment facility. Do we need all that?

660
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,080
And can we lower the costs of this

661
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,799
project by having something that is more

662
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:52,000
manageable for our city? So if you would

663
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,760
if you can consider that as as reducing

664
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,799
the cost for us that the citizens really

665
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:02,240
can't afford to have these rates.

666
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,480

667
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:12,310

>> Yeah. Mark Nielson, I just wanted to

670
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,000
comment on the the lady that had

671
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,159
suggested and mentioned earlier and even

672
00:33:22,159 --> 00:33:24,159
the gentleman there, you know, hey,

673
00:33:24,159 --> 00:33:25,679
there there is, you know, you guys got

674
00:33:25,679 --> 00:33:27,519
to remember, man, state of Utah, every

675
00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:28,880
actually every state does have an

676
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,799
attorney general. you do need a check,

677
00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:32,559
you know, and no offense to our our

678
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:35,679
great city police and that, but um I did

679
00:33:35,679 --> 00:33:37,519
have an issue with the city individual

680
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:39,200
and you don't go to the city. Like I

681
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,120
said, no offense because they worked for

682
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,279
these guys. You go through the shed. We

683
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:44,960
just wasn't able to do it because the

684
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,960
guy was not willing to fill out a

685
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,039
statement. So, you guys want your voices

686
00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:50,799
heard, believe me, it's easier than what

687
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:52,880
you think it is out there, man. When you

688
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,880
find illegal activities like these guys

689
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,960
are doing, like I said, hey, you send it

690
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,399
out and do that. I mean, she won't

691
00:33:58,399 --> 00:34:00,640

know, hey, I'll help you out some here,

693
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,360
but yeah, I mean, do that. So, don't be

694
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,000
afraid. I mean, yeah, you know, like I

695
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,560

opportunity. Uh my name is Nick Jenkins.

725
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:40,400
I work with Rocky Mountain Power. Um had

726
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,000
a great opportunity to have a lot of

727
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,440
really good conversations with Chief

728
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,240
Remick over the last I don't know you've

729
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:47,680
been in a year now.

730
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:48,800
>> Coming up.

731
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,160
>> I appreciate the great work you're

732
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,400
doing. Um, I know you know, but just for

733
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,960
the record, I wanted to just state

734
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,320
city has a volunteer fire department

735
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,480
that is committed to protecting and and

736
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,680
providing dependable emergency service

737
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,920
response, fire suppression, rescue

738
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,000
services, and public public safety

739
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,040
education. Our firefighters respond to a

740
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,040
wide range of incidents from fires,

741
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,880
medical calls, gas leaks, carbon

742
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,880
monoxide, monoxide alarms, and vehicle

743
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,440
accidents. In addition to the emergency

744
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,599
operations, they offer programs to

745
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:23,760
promote fire prevention preparedness,

746
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,160
safety awareness for the residents, for

747
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,359
our schools, and for our local

748
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:29,520
businesses. The department serves about

749
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,839
1,700 or 17,000 people.

750
00:36:33,839 --> 00:36:35,920
They survive Grantsville and they also

751
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,520
serve the surrounding areas. It's a

752
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,119
pretty impressive thing to do. It's a

753
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:41,280
lot of dedicated individuals. Had the

754
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,920
opportunity to stack chairs and smooth

755
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,160
floors next to these guys for the last

756
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,000
several years. Um, Chief Remy called me.

757
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,480
I won't say it's the veterans breakfast

758
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,160
>> and he said, "Hey, Nick, I know you guys

759
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,680
do grants. We need some help. We need

760
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,839
some fire equipment. We need some It's a

761
00:36:59,839 --> 00:37:02,079
air monitoring equipment is what it is."

762
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:03,599
>> And to think that we're asking our guys

763
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:05,440
to go into situations where they're

764
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,800
safe. Um, in the letter that Neil wrote,

765
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,560
he mentioned that there was a time when

766
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,079
the they had to call a backup truck to

767
00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:15,680
make sure because the call wasn't what

768
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,280
they thought it was until they got there

769
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,040
and had to wait and keep both folks in

770
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,440
the in the in the coal until the

771
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,200
equipment could be there. Um, Rocky

772
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,880
Mountain Power, we've got a check today

773
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,079
for $5,000

774
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:29,760
for uh, Chief Hermic to get the

775
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,200
equipment that he needs.

776
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,400
>> Thank you. Appreciate you, Chief.

777
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:40,150
>> Thank you.

778
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,760
I'd love to if you wouldn't mind.

779
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:59,910
>> Yeah,

780
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:06,790
» right. One, two, three. Smile.

781
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:22,150
Perfect.

782
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,760
» Thank you very much, Rocky Mountain

783
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,320
Power. That is wonderful and very needed

784
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,720
for our fire department. So, thank you.

785
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:32,960
Um, item number four, consideration of

786
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,800
approving resolution 2026-17

787
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,720
awarding the contract for professional

788
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:40,720
landscape and memorial design services

789
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:43,520
for the Veterans Memorial Park to Fritz

790
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,560
Custom Concrete.

791
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,359
I don't know who's speaking on this. I

792
00:38:49,359 --> 00:38:51,200
>> think I can speak to it. I guess pretty

793
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,800
straightforward. We got the bids in for

794
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,880
the the Veterans Park. It came in about

795
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,720
$31,000.

796
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:01,760
um a little offset from what the other

797
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,280
bids were. We're kind of surprised at

798
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,640
the other bids because we reduced the in

799
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,720
scope and they came in a lot higher than

800
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:08,400
the original first bid. So, we're kind

801
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,680
of confused at that. But, we're happy

802
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,040
that uh Fritz came in at what it is. So,

803
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,480
we're hoping the council will approve it

804
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,400
tonight and then we'll work with them to

805
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,320
finalize the contract and get started on

806
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,310
the veterans.

807
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,480
And there is um I just want to make a

808
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,079
comment that there is a lot of funds

809
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:28,160
that have been raised and set aside for

810
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,000
this project. So this is not coming out

811
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,599
of the general budget. This is something

812
00:39:31,599 --> 00:39:35,040
that's been um being saved for and

813
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,040
worked for for a very long time.

814
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,680
>> Correct. We have 180,000 in the budget

815
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,829
for this line.

816
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:45,599
» Council members, have any comments or

817
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:47,680
questions on these bids?

818
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,200
>> What should you say again? Sorry, missed

819
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:49,440
it.

820
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,320
>> It's on your screen. and 131.

821
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,720
>> No, what did we have? Oh, 180,000.

822
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:55,599
>> Yeah.

823
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:57,440
>> 108 you have in the

824
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,680
>> coffers. Is that what they said?

825
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:00,640
>> 180.

826
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,160
>> I I think it would be good to kind of

827
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,240
maybe give a little history uh just

828
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:07,680
publicly on this. I know

829
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,400
originally this has already been bit out

830
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,800
once. Um and then those costs came in

831
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,359
higher than anticipated.

832
00:40:17,359 --> 00:40:21,280
And so, um, there was approach to go

833
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,160
back and and reduce,

834
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,119
um, sidewalks and cut areas out to try

835
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:30,320
to make to try to make a pencil more.

836
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,079
What's disconcerning is there some of

837
00:40:32,079 --> 00:40:36,560
these numbers that we did receive are

838
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,680
more than what the original number was.

839
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,359
Um

840
00:40:41,359 --> 00:40:44,720
but uh yeah, I just wanted to share that

841
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:48,800
this has been a long arduous process I

842
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,960
think to to get to get it to try to land

843
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,000
within a budget

844
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
>> and I think it has with our with our

845
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,599
budget and so we're hoping that there's

846
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:00,000
not um many change orders or anything

847
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,599
like that and that we can use some of

848
00:41:01,599 --> 00:41:04,079
that extra money to maybe get some of

849
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:07,440
the grass put back into place if that's

850
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,119
at all possible in this regard so that

851
00:41:09,119 --> 00:41:10,160
we

852
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,000
not just have just the the concrete

853
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,520
there, but we can do more than that with

854
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,480
just the money we have in budget. So,

855
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,000
staff does recommend countable

856
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,910
approvement.

857
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,160
I just had one comment in regards to the

858
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,119
schedule that is proposed um by the the

859
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:30,800
contractor just looking at it in in July

860
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,880
and just knowing what happens there at

861
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,040
the fire station on the 4th of July. Um

862
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,119
I don't know if they can adjust that

863
00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:43,119
just a week or so and and start after

864
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:48,240
the week of the 4th. That might be um be better for the community and for the

865
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:50,319
events we have um there at the fire

866
00:41:50,319 --> 00:41:50,880
station.

867
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,880
>> From what I understand, the work is

868
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,040
supposed to be completed before the 4th

869
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:55,440
of July.

870
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,920
>> Oh, I thought I saw there from July 1 to

871
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:58,400
August.

872
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,280
>> No. Am I correct?

873
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,760
>> No. From my understanding

874
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,000
the in his bid, he said he would do it

875
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,200
in June, but

876
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,119
>> Okay. once we'll have to get a contract

877
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:09,440
with them and then talk about schedule.

878
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,480
>> There will be that that 30 foot portion

879
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,880
uh that we can utilize for that. We just

880
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,400
got to make sure that we're going to try

881
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,119
to see if we can keep it watered.

882
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:20,800
>> Try to try to not

883
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,920
>> damage that. Yeah, we it' obviously have

884
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,520
to be fenced off or something,

885
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,760
>> right?

886
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,359
>> And hand watered probably

887
00:42:29,359 --> 00:42:31,359
>> for a little while. Yeah. or

888
00:42:31,359 --> 00:42:32,720
>> but that is a great concern because if

889
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:34,079
it's not done or gets delayed, we do

890
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:35,760
need to factor that in how what we're

891
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,119
going to do with that. So I do agree

892
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:37,680
with that

893
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,200
>> because a lot of times those chairs go

894
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,000
out into that grassy area. So you're not

895
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,040
wrong. So,

896
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:50,309
okay.

897
00:42:50,319 --> 00:42:52,000
Mayor, I make a motion that we approve

898
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,560
resolution 2026-17

899
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,400
awarding the contract for the

900
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,079
professional landscape and memorial

901
00:42:58,079 --> 00:42:59,920
design services for the Veterans

902
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,640
Memorial Park to Fritz Custom Concrete.

903
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:03,680
>> I second it.

904
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,359
>> We have a motion by Council Member

905
00:43:05,359 --> 00:43:07,119
Butler and a second by Council Member

906
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:08,960
Thomas. All in favor?

907
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,480
>> I.

908
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,880
>> Motion passes. Congratulations to the

909
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:13,359
veterans.

910
00:43:13,359 --> 00:43:14,800
>> Thank you so much

911
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,400
>> and we can't wait to see this get

912
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,640
started. So, thank you.

913
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:26,710
>> Thank you for your hard work.

914
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:29,280
» The next item is a public hearing to

915
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,280
receive input on the issuance of sewer

916
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,680
revenue bonds to finance wastewater

917
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,240
treatment plant improvements.

918
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:38,079
We have received a number of comments

919
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:40,560
from the public through email which have

920
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,240
been distributed to the council and

921
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:44,640
entered into public record. So those

922
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,079
have all been uh they have all seen

923
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:52,480
those um emails. Uh the floor is open if

924
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,079
anyone would like to speak on this

925
00:43:54,079 --> 00:44:01,190
matter.

926
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,200
See none. We will close the public

927
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,359
hearing.

928
00:44:05,359 --> 00:44:06,560
Anyone online?

929
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:12,470
>> Is there anyone online?

930
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,040
» No. Okay,

931
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:20,790
we'll close that item

932
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,480
and move on to number six. Consideration

933
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,680
of approving resolution 2026-18

934
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,920
awarding the contract for construction

935
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,599
of the Grantsville City Wastewater

936
00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:38,550
Treatment Plant to Vanc Incorporated.

937
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,880
Uh is Robert online who who will be

938
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,280
presenting this item? If you want

939
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,319
Christie,

940
00:44:44,319 --> 00:44:46,560
>> Robert is online as well.

941
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:47,920
>> We'll have Christie present this. She

942
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,359
was pretty much involved in a lot of the

943
00:44:49,359 --> 00:44:50,880
bidding process.

944
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:51,200
>> Okay.

945
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,920
>> So again, the first all contractors were

946
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,119
pre-qualified and so as the bid came in

947
00:44:57,119 --> 00:44:59,280
since they were all pre-qualified, we

948
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,920
were going with the lowest bid which was

949
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,750
Vanc.

950
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,440
Does anybody have any questions on the

951
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,230
bid process?

952
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:17,200
How many bids do you know? And what was

953
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,400
the amount that they bidded for?

954
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,440
>> There were six companies that bid and it

955
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,520
came in, I believe, 43 million.

956
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:28,480
>> 700,000.

957
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,359
>> Thank you. 43,700,000.

958
00:45:31,359 --> 00:45:34,079
>> And they range from that to 65 million.

959
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:35,920
>> 65 million. So there's like a $20

960
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,119
million range.

961
00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:37,680
>> Yep.

962
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,079
>> In between there. So widespread. So, we

963
00:45:40,079 --> 00:45:42,000
were very we're very pleased it at least

964
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,480
came in within our proposed engineer

965
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,920
budget because it could have been a

966
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,079
whole lot worth at 60 million or even 50

967
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:49,599
where we'd have to go and decide how

968
00:45:49,599 --> 00:45:52,640
we're going to to fund even more.

969
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,280
>> And it's the the cost plus the equipment

970
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,839
because the equipment is

971
00:45:57,839 --> 00:45:59,040
>> already pre-selected.

972
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,040
>> Yeah, it was pre-selected and we

973
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,680
reserved those prices from last year to

974
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,760
this year. So they've been set there.

975
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,240
And so the that's the range as it says

976
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:23,270
from 43 to 63.

977
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,640
Christie, I'll ask you a direct

978
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,079
question. Maybe you can answer a

979
00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:27,839
question that someone brought up a

980
00:46:27,839 --> 00:46:30,400
little bit earlier. talk about the the

981
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,359
necessity of this plant um for the

982
00:46:33,359 --> 00:46:36,880
council and for the the members of the audience.

983
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,880
>> So again, the state has created new

984
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,119
regulations for affluent water. That's

985
00:46:41,119 --> 00:46:43,599
the water that is processed after it

986
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:45,839
goes through the process. The lagoons

987
00:46:45,839 --> 00:46:48,400
can no longer do this process. We had to

988
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,520
go to a mechanical plant. Anybody in the

989
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,079
state that has lagoons will have to

990
00:46:54,079 --> 00:46:57,359
eventually go to a mechanical plant. the

991
00:46:57,359 --> 00:47:01,680
city city went and did a study next to

992
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,280
figure out what plant to go and I know

993
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,000
it has a long name but this is not the

994
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,359
highest um expensive plant that you can

995
00:47:11,359 --> 00:47:14,160
buy. In fact, when we first went through

996
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,280
the process, we cut everything we could

997
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,720
cut down to make it only what we need

998
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:23,119
for right now to make sure that we are

999
00:47:23,119 --> 00:47:26,000
in compliance. If we do not put in a

1000
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,200
mechanical plant and are not compliant

1001
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,880
by December of 2028,

1002
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,760
then we could be fined up to $10,000 a

1003
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,680
day.

1004
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,440
>> One of the things to add to that is one

1005
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,200
of the main things that we did cut is

1006
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,440
the the water the effluent water that's

1007
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,160
going to come out of this is not uh you

1008
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,240
can't we can't at this point use it on

1009
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:49,920
our your yards at this point. It would

1010
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,839
be only used for your like a farmer's

1011
00:47:51,839 --> 00:47:54,160
field. We'd have to implement another

1012
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,599
scrubber to to this would cost closely

1013
00:47:57,599 --> 00:48:00,319
around two or3 to5 million dollars that

1014
00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:02,240
we'd have to add on top of this to make

1015
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:05,599
it uh clean enough to use in your yards.

1016
00:48:05,599 --> 00:48:07,760
So we'll we're still working with the

1017
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,079
state to try and utilize and get effent

1018
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:12,400
permit, but that is not included in this

1019
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,560
cost. And if the city chooses and gets

1020
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,480
that permit and chooses to do that and

1021
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,200
use it for that purpose later in that

1022
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,440
time, we'll have to to to get that and

1023
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:26,160
to purchase those um uh items to add to

1024
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,240
this plan. So, there has been a lot of

1025
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:30,160
stuff we have left out that we're not

1026
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:36,150
using or won't be using right away.

1027
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,160
» And this plan is somewhat modular,

1028
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,440
meaning we can add we can add a wing to

1029
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,040
it. So we So as as the city grows in the

1030
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,240
future,

1031
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:48,000
>> yes, there is room to add another

1032
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,319
headworks line, there is room to the

1033
00:48:50,319 --> 00:48:54,480
west to add another clarifier. Um we

1034
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,040
wouldn't use all of Sorry, I don't have

1035
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,040
it right in front of me. All the systems

1036
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,800
that are being in place, but that can be

1037
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:01,760
added too. And

1038
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,119
>> so this plant go it's usage is for about

1039
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:06,960
a million gallons a day to three million

1040
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,119
gallons a day. It can go up to eight on

1041
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:11,520
the high flow days, but its main range

1042
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,400
is from 1 to 3 million. So, it's not any

1043
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,200
higher than that. We can expand it when

1044
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:18,559
it's there because we have a lot of the

1045
00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:21,040
stuff to be expandable once that

1046
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,680
development comes. When that development

1047
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,240
comes to expand, as Robert will be able

1048
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,160
to point out, is that's where a lot of

1049
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,319
the new development can pay for that

1050
00:49:30,319 --> 00:49:32,079
because that will be that new growth

1051
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:33,599
factoring in. The problem we're having

1052
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:35,520
now is that we need it for our current

1053
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,630
residents.

1054
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,680
The flows right now are averaging around

1055
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:42,720
how many?

1056
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:44,960
>> A million to one and a half million

1057
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,640
>> and then high flow days

1058
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,319
>> around one and a half million.

1059
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:49,760
>> Million

1060
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,520
>> and we're pretty much at peak capacity.

1061
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:51,839
Right.

1062
00:49:51,839 --> 00:49:53,200
>> Correct.

1063
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,200
>> But my understanding is we cannot we're

1064
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,000
not using we're not

1065
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,800
because of the silt and sludge that's in

1066
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,960
those ponds. We're not getting the full

1067
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,800
capacity of what we have there currently

1068
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:05,520
anyways. Right.

1069
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,920
>> Yeah. Can't fill the ponds the way they

1070
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:14,069
were designed either. Correct.

1071
00:50:14,079 --> 00:50:20,630
» Where is this plant going to be built?

1072
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,720
» So the same place the sewer lagoons are

1073
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:23,680
now

1074
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,599
>> which is

1075
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:28,880
>> towards the freeway.

1076
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,040
Diane, um, unfortunately you can't ask

1077
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,839
questions, but um,

1078
00:50:33,839 --> 00:50:34,400
>> let's see.

1079
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,359
>> Yeah, typically don't have to ask

1080
00:50:37,359 --> 00:50:39,520
questions. So,

1081
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,960
>> well, we can't answer the question.

1082
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,400
>> Yeah, but we can we can answer the

1083
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,119
question. The the sewer treat's going

1084
00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:49,440
pretty much right where it is, but just a little bit to the west. And you

1085
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,520
know, in the past, we've we've gone

1086
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,520
through these plans and looked at them

1087
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,720
at length and and we we know right where

1088
00:50:56,720 --> 00:50:59,839
we're going. We've I mean, engineering

1089
00:50:59,839 --> 00:51:03,599
services started about when Christie

1090
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:07,349
with Aqua Engineering

1091
00:51:07,359 --> 00:51:10,559
» um soon. I don't remember exact date.

1092
00:51:10,559 --> 00:51:11,200
>> When did they start?

1093
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,040
would be like Aqua

1094
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,040
Engineering. Yeah. Starting with the

1095
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,400
engineering of the of the of the plant.

1096
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:19,599
>> How long have we been planning this?

1097
00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:20,559
>> Planning this?

1098
00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:20,960
>> Yeah.

1099
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,040
>> Well, first we did the study. So, Aqua

1100
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,599
started with the study back in I don't

1101
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:28,240
remember if it was 2020 or 2021 because

1102
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:30,960
we had to do the study first to decide

1103
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,280
what plant to put in and what capacity

1104
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,839
we would need. So then once we finished

1105
00:51:35,839 --> 00:51:38,960
that then they went to engineer

1106
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,440
the plant and then after the engineering

1107
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,839
then we went out to bid. So

1108
00:51:43,839 --> 00:51:46,319
>> so 2019 the law came into effect.

1109
00:51:46,319 --> 00:51:47,440
>> Mhm.

1110
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,680
>> Then we went to Yeah. went to council to

1111
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:50,480
say

1112
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:51,920
>> and the process started.

1113
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,000
>> Yes. So, I think I yeah, I know there

1114
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,920
was a number of questions regarding, you

1115
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:01,520
know, timing and um budgets and

1116
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,599
uh and I and I kind of wanted to I

1117
00:52:03,599 --> 00:52:05,119
wanted to hit on a couple of those

1118
00:52:05,119 --> 00:52:07,920
specifically. I mean, obviously

1119
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,520
uh prior councils worked with the bud

1120
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,200
within the budget that they added the

1121
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,400
time. So, I'm not going to throw

1122
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:18,960
anything back to to 2019. Um, I mean, I

1123
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,760
think our city planner said it said it

1124
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:26,079
best. Um, you know, maybe 1977

1125
00:52:26,079 --> 00:52:28,559
is probably when we should have start

1126
00:52:28,559 --> 00:52:30,240
planning and and being prepared for it.

1127
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:32,880
I know this council last year, uh,

1128
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,319
raised we raised the rates, which is

1129
00:52:36,319 --> 00:52:39,359
unfortunate, but, uh, that, you know,

1130
00:52:39,359 --> 00:52:42,880
that brought in, you know, $4.5 million

1131
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,880
that can be put towards this. So, there

1132
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,480
was a comment made that there's no

1133
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:47,760
dollars accounted for, and that's

1134
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,440
incorrect. Um, there's $4.5 million in

1135
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,599
there that that will be that will be

1136
00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:59,520
able to be put towards this. Um, this one for me is really one of the

1137
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,200
hardest. I knew when I ran for this

1138
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,240
office that this would be something that

1139
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:06,880
we we would have to try to figure out.

1140
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,640
Um

1141
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,559
the fact is is that it it the need is is

1142
00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:14,400
based from the state and the need is

1143
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,079
created from the current residents. It

1144
00:53:16,079 --> 00:53:19,440
is not something that is due to growth.

1145
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,280
Um a growth is happening at one one to

1146
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,040
3% and will continue to happen within

1147
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:32,319
those parameters probably. Um, and so,

1148
00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:35,839
you know, so it's it's

1149
00:53:35,839 --> 00:53:37,760
there an easy answer in this? I have not

1150
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,760
I've not found one. I know I've spent a

1151
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,400
lot of sleepless nights. I know uh on

1152
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:50,400
this I think uh from a city staff standpoint, we've

1153
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,319
spent a lot of time on this and and

1154
00:53:52,319 --> 00:53:54,880
we've gotten to this point.

1155
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,720
Um, I was encouraged to see that we did

1156
00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:01,359
have one subcontractor that came within

1157
00:54:01,359 --> 00:54:03,599
that range. Although, you know, that

1158
00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:05,760
number doesn't doesn't look great to me.

1159
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,359
I don't think any any number looks

1160
00:54:07,359 --> 00:54:09,599
great. Um,

1161
00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:11,119
when you're when you're talking these

1162
00:54:11,119 --> 00:54:12,880
types of infrastructures, they're

1163
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:18,480
usually a once every 50 year, 40 year

1164
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:24,240
life cycle uh type decision. So,

1165
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:26,319
and I I'm probably speaking in a circle

1166
00:54:26,319 --> 00:54:29,520
here, but I I I I've really this taken

1167
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,280
this decision very very uh it's been a

1168
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,160
very very internal battle uh trying to

1169
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,240
determine what we what we have to have

1170
00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:40,400
and and how do we go about getting that

1171
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,920
and I think we have got to a point where

1172
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,920
we have

1173
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,079
moved closer to a solution. I don't know

1174
00:54:48,079 --> 00:54:51,920
if it's the solution. Uh meaning meaning

1175
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:56,559
I I feel that there probably is some

1176
00:54:56,559 --> 00:54:58,559
other avenues we can still investigate

1177
00:54:58,559 --> 00:55:02,800
and attack. Um but I think this is

1178
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,280
the best solution based on everything

1179
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,680
everyone has put efforts into to to to

1180
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,720
getting to. So

1181
00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:16,160
that's my point.

1182
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,960
I think we've all spent a few sleepless

1183
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,240
nights over this. Um, this is not this

1184
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:26,400
is not a fun decision and

1185
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,040
it has been discussed

1186
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,920
considerably for the last several years

1187
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,640
of how to accomplish what has to be

1188
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,720
accomplished in the least amount of

1189
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:40,000
impact to the citizens.

1190
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,000
That is everybody up here's greatest

1191
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,119
concern is how do we impact the citizens

1192
00:55:45,119 --> 00:55:48,240
the least and I say citizens it it

1193
00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:50,160
affects us just the same as it affects

1194
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,520
you. We will all be facing the same rate

1195
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,880
increase which is not fun.

1196
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,480
Does anyone have any other comments

1197
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,119
they'd like to make?

1198
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:03,520
>> So we're not going to discuss rate rate

1199
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,359
settings. That's the next resolution. So

1200
00:56:05,359 --> 00:56:07,359
this is just about the

1201
00:56:07,359 --> 00:56:09,680
>> bid whether the council would like to

1202
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,760
approve the bid and proceed with that

1203
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,240
>> and then give the staff uh the

1204
00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:17,920
permission to start negotiations, get

1205
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,839
the contract in place and sign that.

1206
00:56:21,839 --> 00:56:24,240
My only comment on the bid is just it's

1207
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:27,040
amazing how much it's gone up in two

1208
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,720
years. And my fear is if we were to

1209
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:33,680
delay or I don't I don't even think it's

1210
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,760
an option to extend another five years

1211
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,720
or whatever with the state. I just think

1212
00:56:38,720 --> 00:56:42,079
the cost just keeps trucking on up. I

1213
00:56:42,079 --> 00:56:44,240
don't know that there's any limit.

1214
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:47,119
That's so that's far as the bid. I mean,

1215
00:56:47,119 --> 00:56:50,559
that's that's my only comment is it's

1216
00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:52,240
crazy how much has it went up in two

1217
00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:55,119
years, and I fear if we don't get going

1218
00:56:55,119 --> 00:56:57,119
and get it built, then it just the cost

1219
00:56:57,119 --> 00:56:59,760
just keeps going up. That's just my big

1220
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,680
comment.

1221
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,000
>> I I think from what we see there, we we

1222
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,480
did get a a great price.

1223
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,319
>> It's it's within the budget. In fact,

1224
00:57:08,319 --> 00:57:10,559
it's it's less than the initial budget

1225
00:57:10,559 --> 00:57:12,960
that they had they had mentioned to us

1226
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,040
just a few weeks ago before the bid bids

1227
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,040
came in. So, as we've been discussing

1228
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,480
this for the last month and a half, two

1229
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:26,960
months at length, um, you know, for this spec this specific item. So,

1230
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,440
that that's a good price. And, you know,

1231
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,839
as far as I'm concerned, being in

1232
00:57:31,839 --> 00:57:33,520
somewhat in this line of work, uh,

1233
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:44,230
Vanc's a good good contractor. So,

1234
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,760
» I don't have anything on this. I'll wait

1235
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,280
till our next

1236
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:48,799
>> item. So,

1237
00:57:48,799 --> 00:57:50,240
>> I just wanted to make sure they've

1238
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,079
committed to meet the time deadlines

1239
00:57:52,079 --> 00:57:54,799
were under. Correct. And that's spelled

1240
00:57:54,799 --> 00:57:56,799
out pretty clearly in the bids. Correct.

1241
00:57:56,799 --> 00:57:58,400
>> Yeah.

1242
00:57:58,400 --> 00:57:59,040
>> And they

1243
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,799
>> they were all pre-qualified. So, we made

1244
00:58:00,799 --> 00:58:02,400
sure that they were all have done this

1245
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:03,839
kind of work before. They've done kind

1246
00:58:03,839 --> 00:58:05,680
of plans for similar stuff to that.

1247
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,240
>> Yeah. And this has a bid bond on and for

1248
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,079
performance or

1249
00:58:10,079 --> 00:58:11,040
>> Yeah, it'll be bond.

1250
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:26,630
>> Performance. Yeah.

1251
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,319
Mayor, I make a motion we approve

1252
00:58:28,319 --> 00:58:31,599
resolution 2026-18 awarding the contract

1253
00:58:31,599 --> 00:58:32,960
for the construction of the Granville

1254
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,960
City wastewater treatment plant to Vanc

1255
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,400
Incorporated.

1256
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,920
>> We have a motion by council member

1257
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,319
Butler. Is there a second?

1258
00:58:40,319 --> 00:58:42,640
>> I second. count a second by council

1259
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,040
member Williams. All in favor?

1260
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,520
>> I.

1261
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,349
>> Motion passes.

1262
00:58:51,359 --> 00:58:54,079
» Moving on to item number seven,

1263
00:58:54,079 --> 00:58:56,960
consideration of approval of ordinance

1264
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,640
2026-12

1265
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,559
adjusting the sewer rate in connection

1266
00:59:00,559 --> 00:59:02,160
with the wastewater treatment plant

1267
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,040
improvements and associated sewer

1268
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,000
revenue bonds. So, Robert Usell

1269
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,599
>> and Robert Rousell will present this the

1270
00:59:11,599 --> 00:59:13,200
engineer for the project will present

1271
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,760
this to us and he is on Zoom.

1272
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,520
>> Yeah. So, this is Robert Rousell with

1273
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,720
Enzyme Engineering. Yeah. So, what was

1274
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,040
presented last week, we had updated it

1275
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,720
pretty quick with the bid that we

1276
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,000
received. We did go back based on some

1277
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,920
comments from city council and made a

1278
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,480
few changes and and tried to just see if

1279
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:33,839
there was anywhere where we could get

1280
00:59:33,839 --> 00:59:37,680
this you know increase lower. Uh one of

1281
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,760
them was just looking back at the upsiz

1282
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,680
cost for that Westbank interceptor

1283
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,960
project. Uh so that you know we've we

1284
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,400
looked at what they would have required

1285
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,160
which was a 24 in and what is will be

1286
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,200
built which is a 36 inch. Uh so that

1287
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,680
upsize cost has been updated. it's it's

1288
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,640
lower. So, that brought the uh cost

1289
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,280
down. I will say though that the Pioneer

1290
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:02,880
agreement with Desireette and then the

1291
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,200
actual construction costs have not been

1292
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,760
provided or or agreed to by the city.

1293
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,880
So, that is subject to change, but uh

1294
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:12,880
you know, we believe we're we're right

1295
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,400
in there with uh that upsized cost. And

1296
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,040
then we also adjusted that fiscal year

1297
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,599
2027 increase for commercial

1298
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:23,200
non-residential. So, it's a little bit

1299
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,720
less to to help bring in more business

1300
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,280
uh because, you know, the city is

1301
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,480
roughly 3%, you know, businesses to kind

1302
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,359
of help pay for more of these, you know,

1303
01:00:35,359 --> 01:00:37,280
projects moving forward. And then the

1304
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:38,559
last one, you know, we were just

1305
01:00:38,559 --> 01:00:40,160
checking through all of our spreadsheets

1306
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,720
and and the spreadsheet was using a

1307
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:46,079
20-year bond uh and we've updated that

1308
01:00:46,079 --> 01:00:48,400
with the uh 30-year term and then that

1309
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,799
5.052 interest rate. Uh and then the uh

1310
01:00:52,799 --> 01:00:55,920
private bond amount we used was 25.15

1311
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:57,760
million because there is some cash on

1312
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,839
hand to be able to to lessen that that

1313
01:01:01,839 --> 01:01:06,160
blow um as far as the increase.

1314
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,480
So sort of the changes and and yeah if

1315
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,880
you keep going to probably that last

1316
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,760
page

1317
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,510
it shows

1318
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,880
» that one. Uh, keep going. One, a couple

1319
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,400
more.

1320
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,280
Yeah, that last table there. Go up. Yep,

1321
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,599
that one. Yeah. So, this shows you kind

1322
01:01:27,599 --> 01:01:30,079
of what the what the projections are.

1323
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:31,839
And as a reminder to everybody, yeah,

1324
01:01:31,839 --> 01:01:34,319
we're we're trying to hit that 1.25 debt

1325
01:01:34,319 --> 01:01:37,280
service coverage ratio as a minimum and

1326
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,200
then the days cash on hand of 182 days.

1327
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,480
And you can see in 2028 get pretty close

1328
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,280
to that. Uh but then we're staying above

1329
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,160
that, you know, from there on out. And

1330
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,920
we've covered it in previous meetings,

1331
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,160
but you know, the city is looking at

1332
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,559
other ways to to get some additional

1333
01:01:56,559 --> 01:01:58,640
funding from the state, which could, you

1334
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:02,640
know, lessen uh future increases.

1335
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,440
And uh you know, some of this,

1336
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,000
you know, this uh end of year cash

1337
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,559
balance that accumulates over time could

1338
01:02:10,559 --> 01:02:13,119
also lessen you know, that as well in

1339
01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:34,710
the future.

1340
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,119
As I mentioned earlier, we have spoke

1341
01:02:37,119 --> 01:02:41,680
with several people at the state

1342
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,799
um looking for funding and looking for

1343
01:02:44,799 --> 01:02:48,160
loans that could be applied to this at a

1344
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,960
much lower interest rate. At the present

1345
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,520
time, we're only able to get 16 million

1346
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:59,670
at the 0.07.075%.

1347
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,319
Um, and we've asked for an additional

1348
01:03:02,319 --> 01:03:05,359
amount which we were not awarded.

1349
01:03:05,359 --> 01:03:07,359
However, there were some bills in

1350
01:03:07,359 --> 01:03:09,920
legislation this year that may allow us

1351
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,240
to get some additional funding more in

1352
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:16,079
the 1.75 to 2% rather than the 5% which

1353
01:03:16,079 --> 01:03:19,520
is what is on this rate analysis. If

1354
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,480
those um those applications are not even

1355
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,559
accepted until the middle of May, which

1356
01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:28,079
we will definitely be applying for, and

1357
01:03:28,079 --> 01:03:30,240
then they won't be awarded until the

1358
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,839
middle of the summer. If those um if

1359
01:03:33,839 --> 01:03:35,520
those are awarded and we are able to

1360
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,280
lower the interest rate, it will

1361
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,520
obviously take the rates down for every

1362
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,319
household and we will be able to bring

1363
01:03:42,319 --> 01:03:45,200
this back to council to um adjust the

1364
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,680
rates. So, that is our hope is that we

1365
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,000
can get some of that funding at a much

1366
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,520
lower interest rate and that will

1367
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,200
definitely help. Obviously, it's not

1368
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,319
going to alleviate the entire rate

1369
01:03:56,319 --> 01:03:58,720
increase, but it will hopefully help.

1370
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,200
Um, and those aren't guarantees, so

1371
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,200
they're just hopes at this point that we

1372
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,319
can make those um applications to the

1373
01:04:06,319 --> 01:04:08,720
point that we can get this lowered, the

1374
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,480
interest rate lowered. So, that will

1375
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,680
help. But all we can do is wait for

1376
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,520
those applications to be accepted at

1377
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:23,510
this point.

1378
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:27,359
» Mayor, do you know on hand or Michael um

1379
01:04:27,359 --> 01:04:28,880
how much money we have in the fund that

1380
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,119
we've saved up for this?

1381
01:04:31,119 --> 01:04:32,640
>> I think it says right there on the top

1382
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,039
at the beginning. It's uh close to the

1383
01:04:35,039 --> 01:04:36,000
five million.

1384
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,000
>> Okay. I don't the exact number right now

1385
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,280
with the fluctuation that would maybe

1386
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:42,400
Aspen

1387
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,079
>> Aspen is on.

1388
01:04:44,079 --> 01:04:46,799
>> That's good. I hope I didn't misspeak

1389
01:04:46,799 --> 01:04:48,079
that number. No, you were you were

1390
01:04:48,079 --> 01:04:48,559
really good.

1391
01:04:48,559 --> 01:04:50,160
>> There is there's stuff in the funds. I

1392
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,599
know there's at least four million. I

1393
01:04:51,599 --> 01:04:52,319
just don't know if

1394
01:04:52,319 --> 01:04:54,480
>> And where did those funds come from?

1395
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,880
>> From the the rates from the rates that

1396
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,720
you approved the last council meeting.

1397
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,280
Those were collecting. They were less

1398
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,200
than what the they were doing. So they

1399
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,760
we're prepping for this. we just it was

1400
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,680
more than what they thought before and

1401
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,440
so we adjusted that with this rate study

1402
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,200
to increase the actual amount. Now that

1403
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,440
we know the bid, now that we know kind

1404
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,039
of a rough estimate, we still don't know

1405
01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:17,440
exactly locked in yet for the actual

1406
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,640
private bond. So that rate may increase

1407
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,599
or the the interest rate may be going up

1408
01:05:23,599 --> 01:05:25,440
depending on how that goes. And so we

1409
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:26,799
want to lock that in as soon as

1410
01:05:26,799 --> 01:05:28,480
possible. Yeah. And that will come

1411
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,039
before council right now. Once we get

1412
01:05:31,039 --> 01:05:33,760
the rates approved, then we can lock in

1413
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,359
the private bond because the private

1414
01:05:35,359 --> 01:05:38,799
bond holder won't issue or or give us

1415
01:05:38,799 --> 01:05:40,640
that bond unless they know that we can

1416
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,799
meet that. And so, we have to pass this.

1417
01:05:42,799 --> 01:05:45,440
They would prefer that it's implemented

1418
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,440
first, but they say that that it's okay

1419
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:48,960
as long as we pass it and have an

1420
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:52,559
implementation date.

1421
01:05:52,559 --> 01:05:54,799
>> And that bond amount, sorry, go ahead.

1422
01:05:54,799 --> 01:05:57,119
>> The implementation date is what day? uh

1423
01:05:57,119 --> 01:05:59,599
July be the same time when we would have

1424
01:05:59,599 --> 01:06:02,000
implemented the the the previous rate.

1425
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:03,119
It would just

1426
01:06:03,119 --> 01:06:04,799
>> be separated or different than where we

1427
01:06:04,799 --> 01:06:06,400
have. Robert, do you want to go over to

1428
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,599
the the rate page and Okay. Yes, it

1429
01:06:09,599 --> 01:06:10,000
would be.

1430
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,079
>> I just wanted the direct answer

1431
01:06:12,079 --> 01:06:12,880
>> in July. Yeah.

1432
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:13,520
>> Yes.

1433
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:14,960
>> Okay. Great.

1434
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:21,680
>> Yeah. Go ahead. Well, I I was just and that rate is that so on that bond we

1435
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,760
have the option

1436
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,319
to pay, move, refinance.

1437
01:06:26,319 --> 01:06:28,240
>> Well, we haven't got it yet, but that is

1438
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,319
>> but that is what we're that's what we're

1439
01:06:30,319 --> 01:06:33,680
looking at. So, as mayor mentioned, if

1440
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,799
there becomes a better option for us, we

1441
01:06:36,799 --> 01:06:39,359
can take that option and and not and

1442
01:06:39,359 --> 01:06:40,640
have a financial impact.

1443
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,319
>> Correct. we can go and refinance that

1444
01:06:42,319 --> 01:06:45,760
and then maybe when we actually there's a lot of people speak about the

1445
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,720
water credit u money we still don't have

1446
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,960
that as a check so that's again just a

1447
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,520
hypothetical that we he may default on

1448
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,079
that contract and we don't get it doubt

1449
01:06:56,079 --> 01:06:59,200
it but uh we still have it in a check so

1450
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,520
it's tough to use that money right now

1451
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,400
when we don't we actually don't have it

1452
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:09,920
and so we're that he did exercise his

1453
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,400
extension on that. So, he has till like

1454
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,760
I believe sometime in June uh to to get

1455
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,280
that to us. So, we're still a couple

1456
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,880
months out from then to even get a check

1457
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,359
on that. So, we would prefer that we

1458
01:07:23,359 --> 01:07:26,960
implement these rates right now and then

1459
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,839
on those options where we can see if we

1460
01:07:29,839 --> 01:07:31,200
can get that funding from the state.

1461
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:32,720
We're going to apply for the entire

1462
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,559
private bond that we put in there to try

1463
01:07:34,559 --> 01:07:36,720
and get that lower interest rate. And if

1464
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,760
that's the case and then when we if and

1465
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,440
when hopefully we do get that water

1466
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,440
credit money, we can determine at that

1467
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,079
point how much then of that can go to

1468
01:07:46,079 --> 01:07:47,599
here to try to offset some of those

1469
01:07:47,599 --> 01:07:49,359
rates. And so we will be going after all

1470
01:07:49,359 --> 01:07:51,280
of those funds. Not only that, because

1471
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:56,559
it's the uh House Bill or 492 is the one

1472
01:07:56,559 --> 01:07:58,960
the mayor was referring to. They've been

1473
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,440
allotted $und00 million in that fund.

1474
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:02,960
and talking to the governor's office,

1475
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:04,559
they've recommended that we apply for

1476
01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:07,200
the entire private bond that we've had.

1477
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,119
We can also and have been encouraged to

1478
01:08:09,119 --> 01:08:11,680
go back and to the state that originally

1479
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,000
gave us the $16 million bond this year

1480
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,560
and ask them for more funding as well.

1481
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,400
We're we could definitely look into

1482
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:19,839
doing that as well. So, there's two

1483
01:08:19,839 --> 01:08:21,679
sources of funding that we we'll be

1484
01:08:21,679 --> 01:08:24,799
going after even if this rate is

1485
01:08:24,799 --> 01:08:26,719
approved tonight that we will try to

1486
01:08:26,719 --> 01:08:33,829
reduce it even further.

1487
01:08:33,839 --> 01:08:35,679
I just have something that I'd like to

1488
01:08:35,679 --> 01:08:39,279
just clear up. Um I was sworn in in

1489
01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:43,520
January of 2024, not in 2022.

1490
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,880
um and the the rate increases that

1491
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:51,040
happened um in July of 2024 and in July

1492
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,040
of 2025

1493
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,319
um I I voted for because of because of

1494
01:08:56,319 --> 01:08:58,560
this because of that number that needed

1495
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:02,080
to be up there to um

1496
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,279
to help lessen this this blow. So, I

1497
01:09:05,279 --> 01:09:08,799
mean, I think you, Jeff, and and mayor,

1498
01:09:08,799 --> 01:09:10,560
you were in the same boat, right?

1499
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,679
>> Um, over the last, you know, two years

1500
01:09:13,679 --> 01:09:17,040
and and uh three full months.

1501
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,839
>> So, we've we've known about this for all

1502
01:09:19,839 --> 01:09:22,640
that time and we've been um we've been

1503
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,199
preparing for it since we were elected.

1504
01:09:25,199 --> 01:09:27,199
Been one of our biggest topics of

1505
01:09:27,199 --> 01:09:28,799
conversation.

1506
01:09:28,799 --> 01:09:30,719
So,

1507
01:09:30,719 --> 01:09:44,229
it's not a surprise

1508
01:09:44,239 --> 01:09:46,080
I was going to say not to give an excuse

1509
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:49,040
to those past administrations, but it it

1510
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,279
is tough to raise a rate if you don't

1511
01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:53,839
know how much like your plant size is

1512
01:09:53,839 --> 01:09:56,320
going to be and a proposed amount. It's

1513
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:57,920
tough to come out and just say just pick

1514
01:09:57,920 --> 01:09:59,199
a number and say, "Oh, I guess we're

1515
01:09:59,199 --> 01:10:01,199
going to need a new plant. us raise it

1516
01:10:01,199 --> 01:10:03,760
10% this year or 20% not knowing what

1517
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,719
that num ultimate number is

1518
01:10:06,719 --> 01:10:08,159
predictions on when they could come and

1519
01:10:08,159 --> 01:10:09,840
get that but again there's a process

1520
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,560
that they they did go through here not

1521
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:13,679
saying that they could have done it

1522
01:10:13,679 --> 01:10:16,000
faster or slower but there are with

1523
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,400
government it does there is a process so

1524
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:19,760
when they did find out as Christie

1525
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,679
pointed out they did actually do the

1526
01:10:21,679 --> 01:10:23,360
study to determine what type of plant

1527
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,679
they needed to have

1528
01:10:25,679 --> 01:10:28,719
>> which was the right approach find do the

1529
01:10:28,719 --> 01:10:32,080
study find out what you need then have

1530
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,960
it designed. Yeah. And that takes time

1531
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:47,990
unfortunately. So

1532
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:53,440
there was a a comment um earlier about

1533
01:10:53,440 --> 01:10:57,679
um just usage. So, just to be clear,

1534
01:10:57,679 --> 01:10:59,520
maybe we can go to the the proposed

1535
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,080
rates. We're actually lowering the base

1536
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:07,280
rate from $53 and some change 5360 to

1537
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:13,840
$40 and then utilizing a a,00gallon

1538
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,520
um

1539
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:17,920
uh per

1540
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,920
uh calculation. So $5.56

1541
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,960
per thousand gallons used um on average

1542
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,760
through the months of November to March,

1543
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:28,719
right?

1544
01:11:28,719 --> 01:11:29,280
>> Correct.

1545
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,719
>> And so that um we thought that that was

1546
01:11:32,719 --> 01:11:34,960
a step in the right direction to help

1547
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:39,199
lessen the bow for those individuals

1548
01:11:39,199 --> 01:11:42,159
um that might have a single person

1549
01:11:42,159 --> 01:11:45,040
living in a home or just just an elderly

1550
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,920
couple. um they might not use the

1551
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,480
average of 5,000 gallons in a given

1552
01:11:50,480 --> 01:11:54,719
month and so they might use two I don't

1553
01:11:54,719 --> 01:11:59,280
know I guess depends. So that was the approach we took and

1554
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,280
that's the direction we gave you Robert

1555
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,520
in the last meeting to actually lower

1556
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:08,159
that bank fee from 53 5360 to $40

1557
01:12:08,159 --> 01:12:11,280
>> and then to move that usage fee um per

1558
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:16,080
thousand gallons. So we have tried to

1559
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,560
equalize that out for those that have

1560
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:23,920
homes where they have you know 7 8 9 12

1561
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,080
individuals living in a home and use a

1562
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,120
lot of water. So

1563
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,120
>> and that and a lot of that came from the

1564
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:32,640
public comments. Yes.

1565
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:34,719
>> You know suggested that we ought to be

1566
01:12:34,719 --> 01:12:37,840
our bill ought to be based off of usage.

1567
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,760
So we we listened and this is the usage

1568
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,040
calculation of

1569
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:46,400
this is something the grants bill's

1570
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,440
never done before. So moving to a usage,

1571
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:54,000
but I yeah I I think hearing what

1572
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:58,960
this this hopefully takes burden off of

1573
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,520
you know

1574
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:03,360
single

1575
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,640
you know in situations where

1576
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,480
um

1577
01:13:08,480 --> 01:13:11,120
yeah it bases it off the user and usage.

1578
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:12,800
So

1579
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,080
I I feel that we were listening to

1580
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,480
citizens in that regard trying to cuz I

1581
01:13:18,480 --> 01:13:20,080
know this was a concern of the council

1582
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:34,709
as well.

1583
01:13:34,719 --> 01:13:38,159
My my concern and I I've talked to

1584
01:13:38,159 --> 01:13:39,679
Michael about this a few weeks ago

1585
01:13:39,679 --> 01:13:42,480
without even having anyone else bring it

1586
01:13:42,480 --> 01:13:45,600
up, but I think if with this we need to

1587
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,199
pass it with something in there that we

1588
01:13:49,199 --> 01:13:53,360
create an assistance program for elderly

1589
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:55,760
or or low income. And I'd be happy to

1590
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,239
spearhead it, research it, bring it back

1591
01:13:58,239 --> 01:13:59,679
to the council. But I think that's

1592
01:13:59,679 --> 01:14:01,840
something that we really need to to look

1593
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,080
into and see if I know other cities, not

1594
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:05,920
in Utah, but there's other states and

1595
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,960
cities do it. And I would be happy to

1596
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,440
look into that and try to get some ideas

1597
01:14:11,440 --> 01:14:14,000
on how to make that possible. But I

1598
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,560
think that's a important thing that we

1599
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:19,600
need to look at. Um, you know, there are

1600
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:22,640
those people that are on a fixed income,

1601
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,440
low income that this will hurt,

1602
01:14:25,440 --> 01:14:27,679
especially when it gets to, you know, 20

1603
01:14:27,679 --> 01:14:29,040
30

1604
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,760
to you know and beyond. I mean even next

1605
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:32,960
year it's going to be tough. So

1606
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:33,520
>> July

1607
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,120
>> yeah for for people. So um I mean I'd be

1608
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:38,560
happy to do that but I think that we

1609
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,040
need to maybe with the motion include

1610
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,239
that that's something that the city

1611
01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:46,159
researches and sees if we can come up

1612
01:14:46,159 --> 01:14:48,960
with a a program like that.

1613
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:50,800
I know that was a comment tonight and I

1614
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:57,520
feel um yeah I think that um looking at

1615
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,239
options there I think the the biggest

1616
01:15:00,239 --> 01:15:02,400
leverage we're going to have in my mind

1617
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,120
is to try to attack it from from every

1618
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,400
angle. So whether that's

1619
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,800
looking looking into this new house bill

1620
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,920
uh and that option um you know just

1621
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:18,480
looking at other options you know we the the water credit has been brought up

1622
01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:22,320
in that setting um I would support

1623
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,560
because because that is an asset of the

1624
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:28,080
citizens I would support

1625
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:33,440
using that asset to lighten a burden of the citizens and

1626
01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:40,640
so um or some other form or fashion to duplicate that into some other funds

1627
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,080
that could be used in this setting. So,

1628
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:45,360
there's a lot of there's a lot of

1629
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:49,199
options out there and I know um I feel

1630
01:15:49,199 --> 01:15:51,600
like I feel like the staff has really

1631
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,520
exhausted

1632
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,679
um what options we have available to us

1633
01:15:55,679 --> 01:15:57,760
right now. It's a timing issue and

1634
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:03,679
something that has to be done and um

1635
01:16:03,679 --> 01:16:06,800
move forward on and and then we

1636
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,679
fortunately we have to maybe do them re

1637
01:16:09,679 --> 01:16:11,280
you know look at some retroactive and

1638
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:12,640
that doesn't mean it couldn't come back

1639
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,800
to the council with a reduction if we

1640
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:18,159
were to implement those. So

1641
01:16:18,159 --> 01:16:20,480
>> right we review these rates every year.

1642
01:16:20,480 --> 01:16:22,480
>> Yeah. Well we can review this before

1643
01:16:22,480 --> 01:16:24,320
July too if something changes.

1644
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:30,000
>> Yeah. we can we can shift gears and and change the rate if needs be. There's

1645
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,920
just I mean right now the important

1646
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:37,120
thing is is to pass it as is um so that

1647
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,640
we hit the the debt service charge ratio

1648
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,120
in our forecast moving forward so that

1649
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,159
the bond that we get is is rated high

1650
01:16:46,159 --> 01:16:48,800
enough so individuals will invest in it.

1651
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:49,199
>> Correct.

1652
01:16:49,199 --> 01:16:50,640
>> That's that's the important part

1653
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:51,840
according to Zans's bank.

1654
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:54,400
>> Right. And the information date and and

1655
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:57,040
the implementation date, which I know we

1656
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,120
did just approve the awarding of the

1657
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,360
contract. So now we're we haven't signed

1658
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,199
the contract yet, but we've approved it,

1659
01:17:03,199 --> 01:17:03,600
right?

1660
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:05,120
>> Yes.

1661
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,120
So

1662
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,920
I we we don't see it up there and and I

1663
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:13,520
hate to, you know, really bring it up or

1664
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:15,840
even put any focus on it, but you know,

1665
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,640
2024, if we had that that year up there

1666
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,360
and maybe Robert remembers what the rate

1667
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:25,280
was in 2024, but the the the 4030 we see

1668
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:29,440
up there was a significant increase um

1669
01:17:29,440 --> 01:17:33,360
from uh from 2024 to 2025.

1670
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:36,400
So, but if I remember right, that rate

1671
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,880
had stayed the same

1672
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:42,880
>> since 2018 if I remember right. So,

1673
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:44,719
yeah, I think it went from like 28 to

1674
01:17:44,719 --> 01:17:46,800
40. It was like a

1675
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:47,679
>> it was a pretty good jump.

1676
01:17:47,679 --> 01:17:50,000
>> It was a 30 plus percent increase,

1677
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,320
>> which is why we have some funds to put

1678
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:53,280
towards

1679
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:54,239
>> towards it now.

1680
01:17:54,239 --> 01:17:56,000
>> Robert, you just confirmed that.

1681
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:56,880
>> Yeah.

1682
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,280
it would have been around 30. Yep.

1683
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:03,520
previously that 33 and the 33 was those

1684
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,440
first two increases.

1685
01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:07,040
>> Y

1686
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,440
I I think it may be worth mentioning to

1687
01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:11,840
citizens if they want to locate those

1688
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,840
and the history of those you can pull

1689
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,159
them up on the utility section of our

1690
01:18:16,159 --> 01:18:18,239
website which has each individual

1691
01:18:18,239 --> 01:18:20,719
ordinance that's passed from year to

1692
01:18:20,719 --> 01:18:24,159
year and shows those rate changes. So

1693
01:18:24,159 --> 01:18:26,880
just so you can kind of walk that back.

1694
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:28,800
I spent a lot of time in that

1695
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,080
unfortunately.

1696
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,920
>> Just want to make sure that this is how

1697
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:37,679
it will work for this year. So every resident will get the base fee off

1698
01:18:37,679 --> 01:18:39,760
of the average that we've done it, but

1699
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:42,320
then next year we'll go off of their

1700
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,239
usage or how are we going to do that for

1701
01:18:44,239 --> 01:18:46,719
this coming up year?

1702
01:18:46,719 --> 01:18:48,880
Are we go are we going to individualize

1703
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:50,560
everybody's usage for the last months

1704
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:53,840
and then that's what they're um

1705
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:55,520
uh

1706
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:57,280
they're

1707
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:01,280
what am I trying to say like I know I was trying to say so from what I

1708
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,120
understood from the last three council

1709
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:06,640
meetings we have we've had um we will

1710
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:11,120
take the average of November 2025 to to

1711
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:12,400
yesterday yep

1712
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,120
>> and we'll get the average of the usage

1713
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,679
per month water usage because we're

1714
01:19:17,679 --> 01:19:20,239
people aren't watering their lawns um

1715
01:19:20,239 --> 01:19:23,360
necessarily and so albeit we probably

1716
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:24,480
should. Thank goodness for the rain

1717
01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:27,040
today, right? Um it's a little tangent,

1718
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,679
but um nonetheless that that average per

1719
01:19:29,679 --> 01:19:34,400
month. So if my average is 8,500 gallons

1720
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,600
for the last per month, the last few

1721
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:42,080
months, then I'll be 8,000 times that

1722
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,679
556.

1723
01:19:43,679 --> 01:19:45,280
>> But okay, so that that's my question.

1724
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,199
Are we going off our individual? Are we

1725
01:19:47,199 --> 01:19:48,640
going to get that data? Are we going off

1726
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,080
the citywide for this first

1727
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:50,880
>> individual data

1728
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:51,520
>> individual?

1729
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,840
>> And that's that's the beauty part of it.

1730
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:55,040
I mean, there are nine people in my

1731
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:56,000
home,

1732
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,480
>> you know. You know, and some homes just

1733
01:19:58,480 --> 01:19:59,280
have two

1734
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,640
>> and then the direction going forward

1735
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:06,960
would be to meter would be to meter that

1736
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:07,600
correctly.

1737
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,239
>> We already have it metered per month.

1738
01:20:10,239 --> 01:20:11,520
Okay. And so that's why we're we're

1739
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,000
trying to get the that collection on a

1740
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,760
daily basis to make it more accurate.

1741
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,960
>> Okay. Yeah.

1742
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:20,159
>> Not monthly, daily.

1743
01:20:20,159 --> 01:20:21,920
>> Yeah. But it's still going to be the

1744
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:23,520
average of what it is,

1745
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:24,000
>> right?

1746
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:28,000
>> And that again, that's more for like uh

1747
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,080
leak detection, other things, but is a

1748
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,719
as a secondary benefit that you get more

1749
01:20:32,719 --> 01:20:36,480
accurate averages. But yeah,

1750
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:38,560
so we would implement it to answer your

1751
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:40,320
question. Yeah. would go on everyone's

1752
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,000
data that we currently have. And then

1753
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,000
for those who just move in or don't have

1754
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,600
that data collected, that would be the

1755
01:20:45,600 --> 01:21:01,830
just the base average.

1756
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:02,320
» Anything.

1757
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:05,520
>> Are there any other questions?

1758
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,120
Mayor, I make a motion we approve

1759
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,199
ordinance 2026-12

1760
01:21:09,199 --> 01:21:11,760
adjusting the sewer rate in connection

1761
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,199
with the wastewater treatment plant

1762
01:21:13,199 --> 01:21:14,800
improvements and associated sewer

1763
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,920
revenue bonds as presented

1764
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,600
by Enzyme Engineering. I second.

1765
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:23,120
>> We have a motion by council member

1766
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,000
Butler and a second by council member

1767
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,679
Thomas. All in favor? Can we can we add

1768
01:21:29,679 --> 01:21:31,600
the assistance that the city will

1769
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:32,000
research?

1770
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,280
>> I with I'll I'll add this um to to my

1771
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:38,800
motion um with the direction that um

1772
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:42,400
council member Dalton uh discussed about

1773
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:48,000
providing um some sort of uh assistance

1774
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:52,880
for those individuals who apply and and are accepted for that application.

1775
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:53,520
So

1776
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:55,760
>> like get a study to do that presented

1777
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,159
council. I think some sort of some sort

1778
01:21:58,159 --> 01:22:01,040
of ways or means in which we can

1779
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:01,360
program.

1780
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:03,760
>> I think we could say researching that we

1781
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,880
will research ways to implement.

1782
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:08,639
>> We need to find funding sources in which

1783
01:22:08,639 --> 01:22:11,280
Lana would want to pay that out of

1784
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,440
>> I I will research it, bring it to the

1785
01:22:13,440 --> 01:22:15,280
council and if we need to do like a

1786
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:16,719
further study, then we can go that

1787
01:22:16,719 --> 01:22:19,600
route. But I can research it and then

1788
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:21,679
bring it to you guys if we just want to.

1789
01:22:21,679 --> 01:22:23,520
So then we're not spending any study

1790
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,199
fees. like I can reach out to other

1791
01:22:25,199 --> 01:22:28,239
municipalities and and see what works.

1792
01:22:28,239 --> 01:22:29,040
>> Okay,

1793
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:30,000
>> I agree with that.

1794
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:31,840
>> Um, so we have a motion by council

1795
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,960
member Butler that has been revised and

1796
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:36,800
are you still wanting to second that?

1797
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,840
Uh, council member Thomas, all in favor?

1798
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:41,520
>> I.

1799
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:47,830
>> Motion passes.

1800
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,560
Um, item number eight, consideration of

1801
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,239
approving

1802
01:22:52,239 --> 01:22:55,199
resolution 2026-20

1803
01:22:55,199 --> 01:22:58,400
awarding a contract for rodeo stock

1804
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,560
services to Brokenheart Rodeo Company

1805
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,560
LLC. And Shelby will present that.

1806
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,239
Let me switch you over.

1807
01:23:06,239 --> 01:23:08,639
>> Yes.

1808
01:23:08,639 --> 01:23:10,560
>> So, I'm going to play a video for you

1809
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,280
guys and just get you excited about this

1810
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:14,960
at first and then we'll kind of get into

1811
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:22,950
the nitty-gritty of the rodeo.

1812
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:26,629
It shows online.

1813
01:23:26,639 --> 01:23:29,750
See,

1814
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,600
I did that. So, that's huge. But

1815
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:45,189
there we go.

1816
01:23:45,199 --> 01:23:47,520
There's no Let's see if it'll just do

1817
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,880
volume off my phone or off my laptop.

1818
01:23:50,880 --> 01:24:33,750
Sorry, I have to run it off two screens.

1819
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:35,199
So that's what we could have at

1820
01:24:35,199 --> 01:24:36,719
Grantsville.

1821
01:24:36,719 --> 01:24:38,480
Tik Tok.

1822
01:24:38,480 --> 01:24:40,880
>> Yeah, Tik Tok. Um, but I hope that makes

1823
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:42,719
you guys excited to to see something

1824
01:24:42,719 --> 01:24:44,880
like that um that we can potentially

1825
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,280
have. Um,

1826
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,760
so we did receive a bid from Broken

1827
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:52,560
Heart Rodeo Company and they you can go

1828
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,760
ahead and take it back. Um, they are

1829
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,159
providing all the livestock, the timers,

1830
01:24:58,159 --> 01:25:00,000
the judges, they are providing

1831
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,600
everything um to the city to help put

1832
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:07,360
this rodeo on. Uh, and out of the three

1833
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:09,440
bids that we received, it was the one

1834
01:25:09,440 --> 01:25:12,080
that was affordable but provided

1835
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:13,600
everything that the city needed to put

1836
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:15,840
this rodeo on.

1837
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,199
That way, we're not going out and

1838
01:25:17,199 --> 01:25:18,800
getting separate bids for someone to

1839
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,280
bring in, you know, eight team roping

1840
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,120
stairs and eight breakaway cabs and

1841
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,360
judges and and all that. So, it was

1842
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:30,719
great to have a proposal put together

1843
01:25:30,719 --> 01:25:32,320
nicely like this that provides

1844
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:33,920
everything the city needs to put a rodeo

1845
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,080
on.

1846
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:36,400
>> Clown.

1847
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,400
>> No, I was going to say no clown.

1848
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:40,320
>> Got that covered, too.

1849
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:43,590
>> Yes.

1850
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:50,629
» We're going to draw straws.

1851
01:25:50,639 --> 01:25:52,000
» Come on, Rat. We'll put you in the

1852
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,000
barrel.

1853
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,239
I said we have Jerry here still.

1854
01:25:56,239 --> 01:26:02,390
>> I asked I asked.

1855
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:07,110
» Maybe Brad.

1856
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:10,159
» So, and I do have um some answers and I'

1857
01:26:10,159 --> 01:26:11,920
I've went through and figured out

1858
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,639
projected income and sponsors and ticket

1859
01:26:14,639 --> 01:26:16,239
sales and entry fees and things like

1860
01:26:16,239 --> 01:26:18,639
that which I'm happy to answer. I'm

1861
01:26:18,639 --> 01:26:20,639
happy to answer um other questions and I

1862
01:26:20,639 --> 01:26:23,600
do have Ben with Broken Heart Rodeo

1863
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:25,040
online as well.

1864
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:29,110
>> Okay.

1865
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:32,880
I I want to start by just um thanking

1866
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,760
you for this, you know, for the the idea

1867
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,080
of this um and and the work that you put

1868
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:42,000
in for this. I know um

1869
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,920
I think this hits a lot of strings of a

1870
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:45,520
lot of people within the community.

1871
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,520
Obviously, you know, we are the Cowboys.

1872
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,000
Gransville, right? So,

1873
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,920
>> um,

1874
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:54,000
>> and we do have the facility and it

1875
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:55,600
unfortunately hasn't had the opport I

1876
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:57,360
mean it has been used but hasn't been

1877
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:00,880
used in this fashion. Um, so those are

1878
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:03,360
all the goods. So, let me tell you my

1879
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:04,000
concerns.

1880
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:04,560
>> Yeah.

1881
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,719
>> So, um, I think the the concern that I

1882
01:27:08,719 --> 01:27:11,199
have is timing.

1883
01:27:11,199 --> 01:27:12,800
um you know, if we're for a couple

1884
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:16,239
months away, is that time to to do this

1885
01:27:16,239 --> 01:27:19,600
and maybe do it right? Um or do we do it

1886
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,280
and sort of do it okay and then

1887
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,520
hopefully the next year we do it better?

1888
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,159
Um I know the facilities I know I spent

1889
01:27:26,159 --> 01:27:28,320
a little bit of time

1890
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,960
a couple of days ago walking through and

1891
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:32,719
I'm we have a pavilion there that

1892
01:27:32,719 --> 01:27:36,000
doesn't get used at all. Um, I I could

1893
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,480
envision seeing, you know, food trucks

1894
01:27:38,480 --> 01:27:41,679
and little business, you know, making it

1895
01:27:41,679 --> 01:27:43,840
a neat opportunity.

1896
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,920
Uh, I can see the potential. I It's

1897
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:48,800
just, you know, obviously the concerns

1898
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:50,480
that several citizens brought up. I have

1899
01:27:50,480 --> 01:27:52,000
that same concern. It's just how do we

1900
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:56,320
do this and make it uh and make it not

1901
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:58,159
be a burden on the citizens, right? And

1902
01:27:58,159 --> 01:28:00,480
I think there's a way to do that.

1903
01:28:00,480 --> 01:28:02,800
I just think we have some assets there

1904
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,080
that have been depreciating

1905
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,960
and um and and so they're going to take

1906
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:13,520
a little TLC to to to

1907
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,400
make whole. But um yeah, I I just wanted

1908
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,120
to say I I appreciate you uh driving

1909
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,840
this one. I think this is this is

1910
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,600
something that could build uh community

1911
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:28,159
togetherness and another opportunity

1912
01:28:28,159 --> 01:28:30,880
similar to the uh Fourth of July that

1913
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:36,719
allows for people to get together and and meet and enjoy and um things

1914
01:28:36,719 --> 01:28:38,639
that we need more of honestly.

1915
01:28:38,639 --> 01:28:40,480
>> No, thank you for bringing that up. And

1916
01:28:40,480 --> 01:28:43,840
um Monday we did have a small volunteer

1917
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:45,840
committee meet, go look at the grounds,

1918
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:48,639
see what needs to uh be fixed. We've had

1919
01:28:48,639 --> 01:28:50,960
inspections of the bleachers from the

1920
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:52,480
fire department as well as the building

1921
01:28:52,480 --> 01:28:54,960
department to see what repairs we have

1922
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:58,159
um or are needed. Um and then I have had

1923
01:28:58,159 --> 01:29:00,480
interest in sponsoring as well as

1924
01:29:00,480 --> 01:29:02,960
vendors wanting to attend and set up

1925
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:06,159
there and food trucks. So yes, a month

1926
01:29:06,159 --> 01:29:08,719
and a half is a t timeline, but you have

1927
01:29:08,719 --> 01:29:11,440
two strong willed women here that will

1928
01:29:11,440 --> 01:29:13,199
get it done and we'll make sure it's

1929
01:29:13,199 --> 01:29:15,360
done right.

1930
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:16,639
Shelby, do you want to talk a little bit

1931
01:29:16,639 --> 01:29:19,679
about the um

1932
01:29:19,679 --> 01:29:22,800
the promised sponsorships that you have

1933
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:24,960
received already in just two days

1934
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:25,840
effort?

1935
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,719
>> Yes. Um so overall we have received a

1936
01:29:28,719 --> 01:29:32,159
promised sponsorship of 16,500

1937
01:29:32,159 --> 01:29:35,760
already. Um, and that is in between four

1938
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:39,280
sponsors and we still have um a few

1939
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:42,880
spots left and our goal is 30,000 and I

1940
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,600
think if we can hit 16,000 in two days,

1941
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:50,239
we can hit the 30,000 in no time.

1942
01:29:50,239 --> 01:29:51,840
>> I

1943
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,080
have a couple friends that that do rodeo

1944
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,000
and on circuit and stuff and I I

1945
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:57,360
actually reached out to both of them to

1946
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,040
ask them what their thoughts were. This

1947
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:01,520
was months ago when when it was

1948
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:03,840
conceptual. Um

1949
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:05,600
and and I know a number of them

1950
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:08,080
volunteered their time and resources,

1951
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:11,040
you know, whatever whatever we can do to

1952
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,360
but they um one of one of the comments

1953
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,560
that kind of hit me is his comment was

1954
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:20,560
is making sure that the payouts the

1955
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:23,199
winnings uh are more than the entry

1956
01:30:23,199 --> 01:30:23,840
fees.

1957
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,080
>> Yes, absolutely. uh meaning that the

1958
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:29,600
those that he he he mentioned that just

1959
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,679
because obviously I mean they I'm sure

1960
01:30:33,679 --> 01:30:36,719
they love to to go compete and and be

1961
01:30:36,719 --> 01:30:40,000
called first um you know but but being

1962
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,600
able to take something away from that I

1963
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:44,560
think is important and then I think that

1964
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:46,719
lends to the tradition that it can

1965
01:30:46,719 --> 01:30:49,920
create meaning it's if they're coming

1966
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:53,760
here from Evston or whatever to to do it

1967
01:30:53,760 --> 01:31:00,080
you they'll come back again if if it's if it works for them, right? So

1968
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:00,960
trying to

1969
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:01,600
>> Anyway,

1970
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:03,920
>> absolutely. So added money is important

1971
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:07,440
and I have figured in 500 per event for

1972
01:31:07,440 --> 01:31:10,159
added money. Um the base requirement is

1973
01:31:10,159 --> 01:31:12,880
200 per event, but um between

1974
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,360
sponsorships and the other projected

1975
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:17,600
sales, we were able to bump that up to

1976
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:21,270
500.

1977
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:22,000
» Can I

1978
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:22,880
>> please go ahead?

1979
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:23,679
>> No.

1980
01:31:23,679 --> 01:31:26,320
I have share the same concerns Jake was

1981
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,880
just talking about. Um, couple of

1982
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:31,520
questions. So, entrance, have you talked

1983
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:33,360
to people that would be willing to come

1984
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:34,800
out here because this is great, but what

1985
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:37,040
if no one signs up to come ride the

1986
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:38,800
bulls, do the team roping, all that kind

1987
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:41,280
of stuff? What's the interest on it?

1988
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:41,920
Yeah.

1989
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:43,360
>> No, that's a great question. And so,

1990
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:45,920
that's why we chose to go with a RMP

1991
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:47,679
sanctioned rodeo. So that is going to

1992
01:31:47,679 --> 01:31:49,760
bring the contestants here because if

1993
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:51,520
they don't win that added money or they

1994
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:53,600
don't come to these rodeos and get those

1995
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:56,159
points then they lose out on the elig

1996
01:31:56,159 --> 01:31:58,719
eligibility for the year end awards. And

1997
01:31:58,719 --> 01:32:01,440
so yes um if you're not a member of the

1998
01:32:01,440 --> 01:32:05,360
R&P you can still apply. Um it is an

1999
01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:07,440
increased entry fee but as a member of

2000
01:32:07,440 --> 01:32:10,159
the R&P you are eligible for yearend

2001
01:32:10,159 --> 01:32:12,960
points and awards.

2002
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:14,560
>> And then I just wanted to make a comment

2003
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:17,120
that I mean I've had

2004
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:19,440
at least a dozen people reach out to me

2005
01:32:19,440 --> 01:32:20,960
and with everything that's been on the

2006
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:23,440
agenda lately, it's been a breath of

2007
01:32:23,440 --> 01:32:24,800
fresh air because everybody asks how

2008
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:26,960
they can help, what they can do and I

2009
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:29,440
haven't heard one negative thing. Well,

2010
01:32:29,440 --> 01:32:31,600
can't say one. You know, there's always

2011
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:32,639
someone that's concerned about

2012
01:32:32,639 --> 01:32:33,920
something, which is

2013
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:36,560
>> I get it, but I've heard nothing but

2014
01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:38,800
good things and people excited about it

2015
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:40,719
and send them your way. I don't know if

2016
01:32:40,719 --> 01:32:42,800
they've reached out, but I mean, you

2017
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,080
don't get a lot of positivity um doing

2018
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:47,920
all of this. So, it was great to

2019
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:49,520
actually hear people in support of

2020
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:50,639
something and want something to come

2021
01:32:50,639 --> 01:32:53,120
back to the grant still. So, thanks for

2022
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,120
your your hard work and want to bring

2023
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:56,239
something like this back.

2024
01:32:56,239 --> 01:33:01,510
>> Thank you,

2025
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:03,199
» Shelby. Will you go over the numbers

2026
01:33:03,199 --> 01:33:05,679
that have like ticket sale potentials

2027
01:33:05,679 --> 01:33:07,679
and

2028
01:33:07,679 --> 01:33:10,800
>> Yep, absolutely. So, um, total entry

2029
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:13,840
fees after we subtract what goes back to

2030
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:17,360
the RMP, uh, what goes to judges and the

2031
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:20,719
500 added, um, that leaves us, uh,

2032
01:33:20,719 --> 01:33:22,400
at$7,000.

2033
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:25,280
And then if we sell, um, the tickets at

2034
01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:29,199
the projected um, amount, then that's

2035
01:33:29,199 --> 01:33:31,440
10,170.

2036
01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:33,520
Um, projected sponsorship that we

2037
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:38,000
currently have is 16,500. And then at um

2038
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:40,560
only 10 vendors uh we have way more

2039
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:43,679
interested than that um at $50 for a

2040
01:33:43,679 --> 01:33:45,840
booth spot is 500 leaving us a total of

2041
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:47,520
$58,120

2042
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:51,440
and80. That is not subtracting out um

2043
01:33:51,440 --> 01:33:54,159
the contractor's fees um or any expenses

2044
01:33:54,159 --> 01:33:57,040
that the city will need to um utilize to

2045
01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:00,080
put together this rodeo.

2046
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:01,920
>> I'll see if I can get you a sponsor.

2047
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:04,239
>> Thank you. I appreciate it. I guess

2048
01:34:04,239 --> 01:34:05,280
>> might have a red horse

2049
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:06,880
>> to to put in here just to keep

2050
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:09,280
perspective is that if we do proceed and

2051
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,679
which I hope we do um continue to get a

2052
01:34:11,679 --> 01:34:14,000
rodeo here. We want to do maintenance

2053
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:15,520
year round on it.

2054
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:17,679
>> So we will probably in the budget look

2055
01:34:17,679 --> 01:34:20,560
at um helping Christie and ask for more

2056
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:24,000
staffing for the park department to come

2057
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:25,679
over here. So that is a factor that we

2058
01:34:25,679 --> 01:34:27,760
have to consider is that we're going to

2059
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:29,040
if we're going to do this, we're going

2060
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:30,880
to want to make sure that we maintain it

2061
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:32,480
year round so we don't have to have such

2062
01:34:32,480 --> 01:34:34,880
a big hit every year when we try to get

2063
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:38,159
it up to par. What has to be done

2064
01:34:38,159 --> 01:34:39,840
currently? I mean over there I mean

2065
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:41,760
we've got to there's we're using the

2066
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:44,080
pavilion as kind of a storage shed right

2067
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,320
now, right? Like

2068
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:48,480
>> so the pavilion um there's equipment

2069
01:34:48,480 --> 01:34:50,639
that needs to be moved and um placed

2070
01:34:50,639 --> 01:34:53,920
elsewhere. Um there is a wash pad that

2071
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:56,239
we are going to remove. We've actually

2072
01:34:56,239 --> 01:34:58,239
or I have actually reached out to some

2073
01:34:58,239 --> 01:35:00,639
of the rock uh mines up here and they're

2074
01:35:00,639 --> 01:35:03,199
willing to donate um gravel and sand.

2075
01:35:03,199 --> 01:35:06,080
And so um we're wanting to do a

2076
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:08,000
community cleanup and then bring that

2077
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,480
gravel in, level out the areas around

2078
01:35:10,480 --> 01:35:12,960
the bleacher um and then obviously mow

2079
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:14,560
and weed eat the weeds. And then we want

2080
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,120
to bring sand in uh maintain the arena

2081
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:20,400
and then um look at repainting the

2082
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,159
bleachers.

2083
01:35:22,159 --> 01:35:25,440
>> And I have reached out to um some

2084
01:35:25,440 --> 01:35:28,480
painting contractors to to do that like

2085
01:35:28,480 --> 01:35:31,920
as a service or a donation type of thing

2086
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:36,390
as well.

2087
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:38,320
» This is a twoight event, right?

2088
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:40,480
>> Correct. Friday and Saturday with Slack

2089
01:35:40,480 --> 01:35:42,960
in the morning. Saturday morning. So

2090
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,520
Slack is where we have extra entry fees

2091
01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:47,360
outside of what is during the main

2092
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:51,990
performance on Friday and Saturday.

2093
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,239
» Yeah, like the M and Bon and the whole

2094
01:35:54,239 --> 01:35:56,480
>> Oh, we'll do the whole thing.

2095
01:35:56,480 --> 01:35:59,440
>> We're going to put mayor on a horse.

2096
01:35:59,440 --> 01:36:02,960
>> About how many people do we think we can

2097
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:08,719
hold with the stands that we have and the areas around that I believe

2098
01:36:08,719 --> 01:36:10,880
you're calling tailgating spots, right?

2099
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:14,800
and about about how many um spectators

2100
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:16,960
could we could we expect?

2101
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:18,960
>> That's a great question. So, currently

2102
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:20,480
our bleachers and we are looking at

2103
01:36:20,480 --> 01:36:21,920
portable bleachers, but our bleachers

2104
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:24,320
can hold 817

2105
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:26,239
um

2106
01:36:26,239 --> 01:36:30,239
attendees and then we are projecting um

2107
01:36:30,239 --> 01:36:31,040
and I'm going to go out there and

2108
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:34,960
actually measure, but um 20 to maybe 30

2109
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,920
tailgate spots a night.

2110
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,080
And those tailgate spots will allow six

2111
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:43,520
individuals with each tailgate spot. And

2112
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:44,400
then you're going to have your

2113
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:45,679
contestants that are going to be there

2114
01:36:45,679 --> 01:36:48,320
as well.

2115
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,400
>> So we're talking like a thousand person

2116
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,880
event.

2117
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,280
>> So I'll throw it on the flip side. Derek

2118
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:56,639
said, "What if no one comes?" I'll say,

2119
01:36:56,639 --> 01:36:59,040
"What if what if we have 2500 people

2120
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:01,199
come and then we have a big problem?"

2121
01:37:01,199 --> 01:37:01,679
Yes.

2122
01:37:01,679 --> 01:37:06,560
>> Um I I just I think you know maybe

2123
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:08,960
putting ticket sales out there early and

2124
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,679
then we can gauge like how many

2125
01:37:11,679 --> 01:37:13,840
individuals will be potentially planning

2126
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:17,040
on coming. Um there's a lot we can do on

2127
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:20,320
social media and and whatnot um for

2128
01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:22,639
that. Um and then we can plan whether we

2129
01:37:22,639 --> 01:37:24,560
do need to bring in portable breachers

2130
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:26,639
to be able to accommodate

2131
01:37:26,639 --> 01:37:30,000
um those those extra spectators. No,

2132
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:31,840
that's a great point. So, we've actually

2133
01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:34,480
talked about doing a ticket pre-sale and

2134
01:37:34,480 --> 01:37:37,840
so, um, if you purchase from, you know,

2135
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:40,719
tomorrow until May 15th, they're $10

2136
01:37:40,719 --> 01:37:42,960
tickets. Um, and then at the gate, they

2137
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:44,480
would be 15 the day of.

2138
01:37:44,480 --> 01:37:44,880
>> Yep.

2139
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:47,760
>> Similar more than a thousand, then

2140
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:49,119
>> Yeah. Yeah.

2141
01:37:49,119 --> 01:37:50,639
>> you're stopping.

2142
01:37:50,639 --> 01:37:52,080
>> Yes.

2143
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:54,080
>> Or or we're accommodating more

2144
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:55,920
>> or we're getting more bleachers, right?

2145
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,159
And I have a whole list of bleacher

2146
01:37:58,159 --> 01:38:00,880
rental places that I can reach out to.

2147
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,440
>> That'd be a good problem to have.

2148
01:38:03,440 --> 01:38:06,239
>> So, I've drove past when there's been

2149
01:38:06,239 --> 01:38:09,360
smaller events going on and seen kind of

2150
01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:11,840
the nightmare on Clark Street.

2151
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:16,480
>> What kind of parking logistics setup do you guys have planned? Is that talked

2152
01:38:16,480 --> 01:38:17,199
about or

2153
01:38:17,199 --> 01:38:19,679
>> Yeah. Can I actually plug back in

2154
01:38:19,679 --> 01:38:22,080
>> the using the lot?

2155
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:24,400
>> Yeah. So the and I actually have an

2156
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:26,560
overview image.

2157
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:31,679
>> So the lot um that is where the sheep

2158
01:38:31,679 --> 01:38:33,440
are. Sorry, I just kind of put this

2159
01:38:33,440 --> 01:38:37,679
together tonight. Um so here

2160
01:38:37,679 --> 01:38:39,280
you'll come in here. There's going to be

2161
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:42,400
parking here um where um some people

2162
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:45,280
know where the sheep are. Um and then

2163
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:48,080
over here we have parking as well. And

2164
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:49,760
then I've highlighted areas in green

2165
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:51,440
where there can be street parking and

2166
01:38:51,440 --> 01:38:53,679
where there is no parking allowed.

2167
01:38:53,679 --> 01:38:57,040
>> Um so like um in these areas, this is

2168
01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:59,040
where we'd have like our tailgate uh

2169
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:00,560
parking and then you could have some

2170
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,239
tailgate parking here. This is where we

2171
01:39:02,239 --> 01:39:04,400
want our vendors and food trucks and

2172
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,840
then we could bring in more um more

2173
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:09,360
stands here in bleachers.

2174
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:11,280
>> How's our restroom facilities or are we

2175
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:12,560
going to just you know put in

2176
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:15,119
portaotties and hand washing stations?

2177
01:39:15,119 --> 01:39:15,520
So,

2178
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:16,960
>> if you have that many people, we'll have

2179
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:18,400
to bring in some. Yes.

2180
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:19,280
>> Yeah, for sure.

2181
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:21,280
>> Our restrooms there are working now.

2182
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:24,320
>> Okay. But yeah, you'd need more.

2183
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:26,239
>> Yeah.

2184
01:39:26,239 --> 01:39:29,440
>> Well, it's got a lot of potential. Um,

2185
01:39:29,440 --> 01:39:31,440
my kids have been saying for years, we

2186
01:39:31,440 --> 01:39:34,239
need a Granville Days rodeo. I actually

2187
01:39:34,239 --> 01:39:36,320
love the time frame. It'll be one of the

2188
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:37,679
first rodeos of the season. Right.

2189
01:39:37,679 --> 01:39:38,480
>> Correct.

2190
01:39:38,480 --> 01:39:41,600
>> I I love, you know, Memorial Day. Um,

2191
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:47,199
obviously this is, you know, 250 um with the Fourth of July. This is a great

2192
01:39:47,199 --> 01:39:50,320
kickoff to that weekend and the summer.

2193
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:52,159
Um, I believe graduation's the day

2194
01:39:52,159 --> 01:39:53,600
before this

2195
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:54,880
>> two days before.

2196
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:56,159
>> Is it Wednesday or Thursday?

2197
01:39:56,159 --> 01:39:56,639
>> Wednesday.

2198
01:39:56,639 --> 01:39:58,320
>> It's Wednesday this year.

2199
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:01,280
>> So, I mean, kids will be out of school.

2200
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:02,560
It'll be, you know,

2201
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:04,719
>> itching to go on a vacation and see a

2202
01:40:04,719 --> 01:40:05,600
rodeo.

2203
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:08,080
>> Well, no. Maybe itching to stay home and

2204
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:11,600
go see a rodeo, right? So,

2205
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:13,119
I actually think the timing couldn't be

2206
01:40:13,119 --> 01:40:16,960
better. Um, for a town that's used to

2207
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:19,119
putting on events, you know, not

2208
01:40:19,119 --> 01:40:20,960
necessarily last minute, but Jeff, you

2209
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:23,040
can vouch for this. When you when you

2210
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:24,800
bring community together, people rally

2211
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:26,719
around it. And I think the rodeo

2212
01:40:26,719 --> 01:40:28,800
community and the cowboy community will

2213
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:31,360
rally around something like this. So, I

2214
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:32,560
don't think we'll have any trouble

2215
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,440
getting individuals to to pitch in and

2216
01:40:35,440 --> 01:40:37,199
help at all. No.

2217
01:40:37,199 --> 01:40:39,520
>> Thank you.

2218
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:45,990
It'll be great.

2219
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:47,760
» Let's do it.

2220
01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:50,159
>> It's my motion. But I'm I've made too

2221
01:40:50,159 --> 01:40:50,719
many motions.

2222
01:40:50,719 --> 01:40:52,960
>> So, I make a motion we approve

2223
01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:56,159
resolution 26-20 awarding the contract

2224
01:40:56,159 --> 01:40:58,719
to Rodeo Stock Services to Broken Art

2225
01:40:58,719 --> 01:41:01,119
Rodeo Company LLC.

2226
01:41:01,119 --> 01:41:02,719
>> We have a motion by Council Member

2227
01:41:02,719 --> 01:41:04,400
Williams. Is there a second?

2228
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:05,440
>> I'll second.

2229
01:41:05,440 --> 01:41:07,360
>> A second by Council Member Dalton. All

2230
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:08,320
in favor?

2231
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:11,750
>> I

2232
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:14,960
» All right, let's do this thing. Okay.

2233
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:17,760
>> Um,

2234
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:18,800
>> saddle up.

2235
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:23,030
That's right.

2236
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:25,360
» Um, item number nine, a discussion and

2237
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:26,960
possible approval of an additional

2238
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:29,840
10,000 in funding for the Scenic Slopes

2239
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:32,080
bike track for installation of timing

2240
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:35,199
equipment. Uh Christy Dalton may be

2241
01:41:35,199 --> 01:41:45,510
online at this point. Um we can check.

2242
01:41:45,520 --> 01:41:48,639
» No, Dalton is a representative from the

2243
01:41:48,639 --> 01:41:50,480
American Ramp Company. That's the

2244
01:41:50,480 --> 01:41:52,880
company that is putting in our bike

2245
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:55,600
track up at Scenic Slopes. He approached

2246
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:58,560
me at the park conference that was down

2247
01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:01,440
in St. George a couple weeks ago and

2248
01:42:01,440 --> 01:42:03,360
they have this new feature that he

2249
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:06,800
wanted to propose to us. This is a

2250
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:08,960
timing equipment that they put under the

2251
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,280
track that people can log into with an

2252
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:14,400
app. And so that then with the app it

2253
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,960
automatically times when they start and

2254
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:18,960
how long it takes them and when they

2255
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:22,000
cross the finish line. And so if it's

2256
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:23,760
something we would like to add to this

2257
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:26,960
track, then um they would do it right

2258
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:28,560
now, but it would be an additional

2259
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:30,080
$10,000.

2260
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,960
Um when I was there, um Roosevelt City

2261
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:35,520
came up and said they were putting it in

2262
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,119
their track and they were very excited

2263
01:42:37,119 --> 01:42:40,239
about it, but as of the date, he'd only

2264
01:42:40,239 --> 01:42:43,679
had one put in, but it wasn't in Utah

2265
01:42:43,679 --> 01:42:45,440
when I talked to him a few weeks ago.

2266
01:42:45,440 --> 01:42:47,280
So, it's a just a brand new feature

2267
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:50,159
they're coming out with.

2268
01:42:50,159 --> 01:42:52,000
>> I I think he's ready to answer

2269
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:53,840
questions, I guess, by phone. Just a

2270
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,480
second.

2271
01:42:56,480 --> 01:42:58,639
>> Hold them up to your speaker.

2272
01:42:58,639 --> 01:43:00,800
>> Are you there, Dalton?

2273
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:01,679
>> Yes, ma'am.

2274
01:43:01,679 --> 01:43:04,639
>> Okay. Can you hear him?

2275
01:43:04,639 --> 01:43:06,000
>> Is it hear me?

2276
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:10,800
>> Is it possible to join in our Zoom link?

2277
01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:11,840
>> Um,

2278
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:13,040
>> or are you traveling? Actually, if you

2279
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:15,360
send it to me, I'm I'm in a car, so it

2280
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:17,199
wouldn't I wouldn't be able to show

2281
01:43:17,199 --> 01:43:18,639
>> then we don't want you to crash. You

2282
01:43:18,639 --> 01:43:20,719
just we'll just take this right here.

2283
01:43:20,719 --> 01:43:21,520
Okay.

2284
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:22,400
>> Thank you.

2285
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:24,560
>> Um does anyone have any questions for

2286
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:28,159
Dalton about this equipment and why we

2287
01:43:28,159 --> 01:43:30,239
would do this now versus later? What

2288
01:43:30,239 --> 01:43:32,320
would be the the benefit of putting it

2289
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:33,840
in now while they're installing the

2290
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:34,480
equipment?

2291
01:43:34,480 --> 01:43:36,000
>> What actually is the

2292
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:37,840
>> Give us just a quick rundown if you can,

2293
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:38,320
Dalton.

2294
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:40,320
>> It's got to be something underneath.

2295
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:43,679
>> Sure. So, the the Verald app is a new

2296
01:43:43,679 --> 01:43:45,520
technology that we've rolled out and

2297
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:47,040
we're trying to install them in as many

2298
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:50,560
tracks as possible before we officially

2299
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:52,960
launch the app and start marketing it.

2300
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:54,719
It's a digital start gate that goes

2301
01:43:54,719 --> 01:43:57,199
underneath a part of the track. That

2302
01:43:57,199 --> 01:44:00,560
way, whenever riders ride the track, it

2303
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:03,679
uh tracks their time, their speed. It

2304
01:44:03,679 --> 01:44:05,840
creates a digital leaderboard where

2305
01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:07,360
anyone on the app can see who the

2306
01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:09,440
fastest riders are for the day, the

2307
01:44:09,440 --> 01:44:11,520
week, the month. you can compete on a

2308
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:15,040
bike, scooter, a skateboard. Um, so our

2309
01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:16,800
goal is to have a network of these

2310
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:18,320
tracks. That way you guys pop up

2311
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:20,320
whenever someone's looking for Bellow

2312
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:22,560
Solutions tracks to go and ride. Uh,

2313
01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:25,040
we're putting them in Nibi and Vernal

2314
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:26,719
this summer. So we could swing out,

2315
01:44:26,719 --> 01:44:28,320
install it in yours since we're already

2316
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:30,639
going to be building the track. Um, and

2317
01:44:30,639 --> 01:44:33,119
then of course the other main draw to it

2318
01:44:33,119 --> 01:44:36,880
is the city has access to the rider

2319
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,360
statistics. So you can see how many

2320
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:40,960
people have been racing on your track at

2321
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,440
any day, month, year. You can organize

2322
01:44:43,440 --> 01:44:47,199
events around it. Um there is no monthly

2323
01:44:47,199 --> 01:44:51,040
fee. There's no maintenance. There's no

2324
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:52,639
pay to have it hooked up and then pay

2325
01:44:52,639 --> 01:44:54,639
$300 annually. None of that stuff. It's

2326
01:44:54,639 --> 01:44:56,719
a one time. It goes in. There's no city

2327
01:44:56,719 --> 01:45:01,510
IT support or electricity required.

2328
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:03,040
» Tell me you don't want to go try that

2329
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:05,119
right now. Yeah,

2330
01:45:05,119 --> 01:45:06,719
>> we're going to need an ambulance bay

2331
01:45:06,719 --> 01:45:08,800
next.

2332
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:11,040
>> There's not necessarily display or

2333
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:13,280
anything with this. It's all it's all

2334
01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:16,320
app enabled that we're assuming that

2335
01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:18,080
these kids or their parents are going to

2336
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,639
be with them and they can download an

2337
01:45:20,639 --> 01:45:24,239
app and and be able to to to utilize it

2338
01:45:24,239 --> 01:45:25,760
like that. Is that is that what you're

2339
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:27,199
saying?

2340
01:45:27,199 --> 01:45:29,119
>> Yep, that's correct. So, we we put a

2341
01:45:29,119 --> 01:45:31,679
tester in our hometown track in Joplin,

2342
01:45:31,679 --> 01:45:34,560
Missouri. we just built. Um the only

2343
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:36,320
difference on our track is it has that

2344
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:38,880
start gate under it and then a red line

2345
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:41,040
that says world painted across where

2346
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:43,119
that line is. So people know where to

2347
01:45:43,119 --> 01:45:45,280
line up to start racing and when they

2348
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:46,960
have their phone in their pocket, that's

2349
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:48,639
whenever it tracks all of that data. And

2350
01:45:48,639 --> 01:45:51,520
it's been really cool to see uh our pump

2351
01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:53,520
track kind of turn into a game where

2352
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:55,119
people are they'll do a lap and get

2353
01:45:55,119 --> 01:45:56,320
their phone out and see if they beat

2354
01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:58,719
their friend. I'm on our leaderboard. Uh

2355
01:45:58,719 --> 01:46:01,760
I think I'm in 28th place at the moment.

2356
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,080
So, not super high up, but it's it's

2357
01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:05,440
cool to see. We've kind of built a

2358
01:46:05,440 --> 01:46:07,600
community around it.

2359
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,000
>> Okay. So, just so we have, you know, a

2360
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,719
better understanding. So, there's um

2361
01:46:12,719 --> 01:46:14,239
obviously sensors that you're putting

2362
01:46:14,239 --> 01:46:16,639
into the track that that will tell the

2363
01:46:16,639 --> 01:46:20,560
phone or the app GPS enabled obviously

2364
01:46:20,560 --> 01:46:22,639
um you know when they start and how fast

2365
01:46:22,639 --> 01:46:24,719
they're going around the track. Um so,

2366
01:46:24,719 --> 01:46:26,719
they they will need to have their phone

2367
01:46:26,719 --> 01:46:29,679
with them in their pocket as they're

2368
01:46:29,679 --> 01:46:32,159
riding around the track.

2369
01:46:32,159 --> 01:46:33,520
Yes, that's correct. That's how it

2370
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:35,360
tracks it. So, it can see where you are

2371
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:36,880
on the pump track and make sure you

2372
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:39,760
complete the entire circuit to finish a

2373
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:41,440
lap and also can track the amount of

2374
01:46:41,440 --> 01:46:42,800
laps people are riding.

2375
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:44,960
>> So, your parents couldn't unless you

2376
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:45,760
handic

2377
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:47,119
>> Yeah. Unless you put your phone in the

2378
01:46:47,119 --> 01:46:48,480
kids pocket, right?

2379
01:46:48,480 --> 01:46:49,760
>> Yeah. I mean,

2380
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:50,400
>> yes.

2381
01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:53,520
>> Or a backpack or something like that.

2382
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:55,360
>> I've seen riders with fanny packs using

2383
01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:57,360
it. Yeah.

2384
01:46:57,360 --> 01:46:59,520
Can this be done retroactive or does it

2385
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:01,520
have to be done underneath the track

2386
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,320
itself

2387
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:06,480
>> if it needed to be added at a later?

2388
01:47:06,480 --> 01:47:08,400
>> Yeah. Yeah, we could do it at a later

2389
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:11,199
date if that would be needed. My my want

2390
01:47:11,199 --> 01:47:14,080
to do it concurrently with your

2391
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:16,400
installation is whenever grand opening

2392
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,119
day happens. I think it can be a really

2393
01:47:19,119 --> 01:47:20,960
great opportunity to see how many people

2394
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:22,880
are using it and writing it on that

2395
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:25,920
first day to have those statistics. um

2396
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:27,600
just to capture all the hype, the

2397
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:29,360
excitement, and everything in that one

2398
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:31,119
day.

2399
01:47:31,119 --> 01:47:32,800
>> I've actually had a lot of people ask

2400
01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:34,800
about the pump if it was a full pump

2401
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,600
track. Um you know, in having

2402
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:38,960
conversations, there's a lot of

2403
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:42,480
excitement about what that is. So, so

2404
01:47:42,480 --> 01:47:44,800
Dalton, um, since there haven't been

2405
01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:47,440
very many of these installed and and

2406
01:47:47,440 --> 01:47:50,480
really us trying to understand like what

2407
01:47:50,480 --> 01:47:52,800
it is actually we're installing, you

2408
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:55,040
know, underneath and and what the what

2409
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,119
the costs are with that. We would love

2410
01:47:57,119 --> 01:47:59,920
to be a beta test for you. I mean, we

2411
01:47:59,920 --> 01:48:01,840
have this this this number here of

2412
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:03,440
$10,000.

2413
01:48:03,440 --> 01:48:06,000
Um, you know, we I think we're we're

2414
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:09,040
possibly willing to do this. Um, can you

2415
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:12,239
make us a a a deal and and lessen that

2416
01:48:12,239 --> 01:48:14,239
amount a little bit so it's a little

2417
01:48:14,239 --> 01:48:17,760
more palatable and and uh and and move

2418
01:48:17,760 --> 01:48:21,119
it a little more towards under $10,000,

2419
01:48:21,119 --> 01:48:25,510
not $9,9.99.

2420
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:28,320
» Going to be my first number to it.

2421
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:31,040
>> Um, yeah. What's What would this city

2422
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:33,199
be, you know, willing to entertain? I

2423
01:48:33,199 --> 01:48:35,360
think there's ARC marketing value in it

2424
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:37,920
because this is a bigger park and so I

2425
01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:39,520
could bring that to our team and and

2426
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:41,440
say, "Hey, you know, 10,000 won't be

2427
01:48:41,440 --> 01:48:44,560
able to work. They could do $7,500 for

2428
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:45,920
it. Is that something we'd be willing to

2429
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:49,760
approve? Would 7500 work for you guys?"

2430
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:56,149
>> Let's change that number to 7500. Okay.

2431
01:48:56,159 --> 01:48:57,679
» Yeah. I think the hardest part on this

2432
01:48:57,679 --> 01:49:00,480
is trying, you know, obviously

2433
01:49:00,480 --> 01:49:02,800
this portion is tied into the grant,

2434
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:05,040
which is which is the reason why it's

2435
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:06,639
happening, obviously. And

2436
01:49:06,639 --> 01:49:08,080
>> how much did we get for the grant again,

2437
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:09,840
Heidi, for the record?

2438
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:11,199
>> 750,000.

2439
01:49:11,199 --> 01:49:13,280
>> Okay. $750,000.

2440
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,800
>> So $7,500 is 1% of the the grant total

2441
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:17,280
amount,

2442
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:21,990
>> right?

2443
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:24,320
» Thanks, Den.

2444
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:25,679
>> Yeah, of course. Is there any other

2445
01:49:25,679 --> 01:49:27,199
questions or anything else you guys want

2446
01:49:27,199 --> 01:49:29,360
to chat about while I'm on here?

2447
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:31,040
>> Is there is there a location where

2448
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:32,800
people can learn more about this product

2449
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,960
and specifically what what you do

2450
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:40,080
website? I I'm just wondering about the

2451
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:41,760
from a marketing standpoint getting the

2452
01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:44,239
information out there.

2453
01:49:44,239 --> 01:49:46,320
>> Yeah. Yeah. I texted Heidi over a link

2454
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:49,040
to the app. Uh we also have a two-page

2455
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:51,199
pamphlet that I'd emailed over. We have

2456
01:49:51,199 --> 01:49:53,679
it on the Bellow Solutions website, but

2457
01:49:53,679 --> 01:49:55,840
since it's still an early launch, uh

2458
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:57,840
we're not marketing it super widely yet.

2459
01:49:57,840 --> 01:49:59,920
We want to have enough tracks in ground

2460
01:49:59,920 --> 01:50:01,600
that we can do a really big push on

2461
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:04,239
this. Um

2462
01:50:04,239 --> 01:50:07,679
>> is it accurate?

2463
01:50:07,679 --> 01:50:10,320
>> Like like that's a question I have. I

2464
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:12,880
mean I I'm familiar with like Strava

2465
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:17,280
like and running and cycling competition

2466
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:19,360
apps. Is it similar? Is it similar to

2467
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:20,880
that?

2468
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:24,080
Yes, it's it's very similar to Strava.

2469
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:26,400
And as far as accuracy, it gets down to

2470
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,400
decimal points of a second. I would know

2471
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:30,400
because I lost a race by two decimal

2472
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:33,679
points of a second last week.

2473
01:50:33,679 --> 01:50:35,600
>> So, we're talking Michael Phelps type

2474
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:37,679
timing here.

2475
01:50:37,679 --> 01:50:38,080
>> Oh, yeah.

2476
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:38,800
>> I love it.

2477
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:42,310
>> As

2478
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:43,280
Sorry. Go ahead.

2479
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:45,199
>> I did have one question about the app

2480
01:50:45,199 --> 01:50:47,360
just for for our purposes, those of us

2481
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:51,360
who have young kids. Um um is the app

2482
01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:59,119
free number one? Um and does it have any inapp usage fees?

2483
01:50:59,119 --> 01:51:01,119
>> No to both of those. There's no inapp

2484
01:51:01,119 --> 01:51:03,360
usage fees. The app is free. There are

2485
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:05,840
no ads, you know, take you to a

2486
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,520
different page, anything like that. Just

2487
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:09,280
sign up with either your email or your

2488
01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:11,679
phone number. You make a username. You

2489
01:51:11,679 --> 01:51:13,679
can upload a profile picture if you

2490
01:51:13,679 --> 01:51:15,280
want, but that's completely optional.

2491
01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:17,199
So, you know, we we wanted to keep it

2492
01:51:17,199 --> 01:51:19,360
focused around biking and pump tracks

2493
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:21,520
and creating a community.

2494
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:26,390
>> Tell us about the maintenance, please.

2495
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:28,719
» So, we're we're warranting these for

2496
01:51:28,719 --> 01:51:31,360
their entirety. Um, you know, obviously

2497
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:33,119
they're new as we're rolling them out,

2498
01:51:33,119 --> 01:51:34,800
so we haven't had to tackle what

2499
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:36,320
long-term maintenance looks like on

2500
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:38,000
them, but that's part of the reason that

2501
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:40,960
you guys are able to get a a good deal

2502
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:44,960
early discount on them. Um, and as the

2503
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:47,520
product evolves, as you know, your

2504
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:50,560
contract track continues to age, uh, ARC

2505
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:51,920
is going to maintain that because it

2506
01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:54,080
gives us a lot of value. I can send

2507
01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:55,599
different cities and riders over to

2508
01:51:55,599 --> 01:51:57,440
check out your track. So, we we want to

2509
01:51:57,440 --> 01:51:59,040
keep it operational and functional as

2510
01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:03,430
much as you all do.

2511
01:52:03,440 --> 01:52:06,880
» So, Don, just explain to me how this So,

2512
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:09,760
I pulled up my Strava app or my Spin

2513
01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:12,960
app. How how does this differ from

2514
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,920
Straa?

2515
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:18,800
>> So, it's exclusive to the pump track

2516
01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:21,440
itself as well as the app and then all

2517
01:52:21,440 --> 01:52:22,800
the other pump tracks that are going to

2518
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:25,599
be in the network. Um, past that, there

2519
01:52:25,599 --> 01:52:27,679
aren't a lot of differences between this

2520
01:52:27,679 --> 01:52:29,520
and Strava except this is more focused

2521
01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:33,520
around racing with the a start and end.

2522
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:38,550
>> Okay.

2523
01:52:38,560 --> 01:52:40,159
Are there other than the start and the

2524
01:52:40,159 --> 01:52:42,080
end, are there any other sensors that

2525
01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:44,159
you have to put along the track? Are

2526
01:52:44,159 --> 01:52:46,800
there um

2527
01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:51,040
is there anything else that you that you install or is it just at the

2528
01:52:51,040 --> 01:52:52,000
start and finish?

2529
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,719
>> Can more than one person

2530
01:52:54,719 --> 01:52:56,960
>> it's just one one strip that goes under

2531
01:52:56,960 --> 01:52:59,520
it. So whenever you cross that line, it

2532
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:01,040
starts your lap. Whenever you cross the

2533
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:03,599
line again, it completes the lap. And

2534
01:53:03,599 --> 01:53:06,239
then, you know, as part of gamifying it,

2535
01:53:06,239 --> 01:53:08,560
we've included things like points and

2536
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:10,320
badges and sharing your score and you

2537
01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:12,000
know, I hit 10 tracks, here's my review

2538
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:14,719
of all of them and things like that.

2539
01:53:14,719 --> 01:53:16,320
>> So, I mean, if

2540
01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:18,719
>> Yeah, kid kids can line up. I mean, I I

2541
01:53:18,719 --> 01:53:20,639
can't remember how wide our track is,

2542
01:53:20,639 --> 01:53:23,440
but kids could line up and and get going

2543
01:53:23,440 --> 01:53:25,199
and some might have a quick start, some

2544
01:53:25,199 --> 01:53:27,119
might have a slow start, but they can

2545
01:53:27,119 --> 01:53:29,360
essentially all mark set go and and head

2546
01:53:29,360 --> 01:53:31,920
out and and their their their phones are

2547
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:34,320
timing themselves as when they when they

2548
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:36,639
cross the line to the start and then

2549
01:53:36,639 --> 01:53:38,880
when they finish. Correct.

2550
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:40,560
>> Correct. Yes. And they will do that,

2551
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:42,159
too. They they call it making a train.

2552
01:53:42,159 --> 01:53:43,760
I've seen eight or nine kids on bikes

2553
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:45,199
and scooters all chasing each other

2554
01:53:45,199 --> 01:53:52,390
around them like they're in a convoy.

2555
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:54,639
need a hospital.

2556
01:53:54,639 --> 01:53:57,040
>> All right.

2557
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:59,840
So, $7,500.

2558
01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:00,960
>> Yes, sir.

2559
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:01,280
>> Great.

2560
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:05,910
>> I can do $7,500.

2561
01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:07,119
» Do you have any other questions for

2562
01:54:07,119 --> 01:54:13,189
Dalton?

2563
01:54:13,199 --> 01:54:15,280
» Okay. Thank you, Dalton. Appreciate your

2564
01:54:15,280 --> 01:54:16,480
time.

2565
01:54:16,480 --> 01:54:17,760
Thank you. Thanks, guys. I don't have

2566
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:18,560
anything else.

2567
01:54:18,560 --> 01:54:20,800
>> Okay. Thank you. Goodbye.

2568
01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:27,750
>> Bye.

2569
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:30,560
» What do we think? Brett just saved us

2570
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:34,480
$2,500. So, we'll take that.

2571
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:36,159
>> This isn't a resolution. This is a

2572
01:54:36,159 --> 01:54:39,750
discussion.

2573
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:40,480
» Possible approval.

2574
01:54:40,480 --> 01:54:42,400
Yeah, they actually

2575
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:45,679
are going to be here to start the track

2576
01:54:45,679 --> 01:54:48,480
April 10th. Christie 10th.

2577
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:50,080
>> So,

2578
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:53,119
if they're here to do that, we kind of

2579
01:54:53,119 --> 01:54:54,719
need to give them that direction

2580
01:54:54,719 --> 01:55:02,629
possible.

2581
01:55:02,639 --> 01:55:04,560
Mayor, I make a motion we approve the

2582
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:07,040
additional funding for $7,500 for the

2583
01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:09,760
scenic slopes bike track installation of

2584
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:11,599
timing equipment.

2585
01:55:11,599 --> 01:55:12,960
>> I have a motion by council member

2586
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,040
Butler. Is there a second?

2587
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:16,400
>> I second.

2588
01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:18,400
>> A second by council member Thomas. All

2589
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:20,000
in favor?

2590
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:21,679
>> I.

2591
01:55:21,679 --> 01:55:24,639
>> All right, the motion passes. I haven't

2592
01:55:24,639 --> 01:55:26,800
been on a bike in years, but sounds like

2593
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:29,679
it's time. So,

2594
01:55:29,679 --> 01:55:30,880
>> I'm like an ebike.

2595
01:55:30,880 --> 01:55:31,360
>> Yeah.

2596
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:37,270
>> Really tall.

2597
01:55:37,280 --> 01:55:40,080
» Okay. Item number 10, consideration of

2598
01:55:40,080 --> 01:55:43,040
approving resolution 2026-9

2599
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:45,040
authorizing the dissolution of the

2600
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:47,119
Desert Edge Public Infrastructure

2601
01:55:47,119 --> 01:55:49,840
Districts numbers 2 through three. And

2602
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:52,560
Alicia will present that for us.

2603
01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:55,280
>> So, good evening. Um I'm going to

2604
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:57,360
present this on the on behalf of Tom

2605
01:55:57,360 --> 01:55:59,599
Jolly who couldn't be with us tonight

2606
01:55:59,599 --> 01:56:02,400
but um he's the legal counsel for the

2607
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:05,360
PID the public infrastructure districts

2608
01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:08,719
um for Desert Edge or sorry Desert Edge

2609
01:56:08,719 --> 01:56:13,760
and um in his email he states that um

2610
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:17,199
the Desert that sorry Desert Edge PID

2611
01:56:17,199 --> 01:56:20,400
number one annexed all of the land into

2612
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:22,719
district number one and received a

2613
01:56:22,719 --> 01:56:25,199
certificate of annexation. from the LG's

2614
01:56:25,199 --> 01:56:29,440
office on March 11th, 2025. Um once the

2615
01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:31,599
annexation was completed, then they

2616
01:56:31,599 --> 01:56:34,880
realized that they didn't or they they

2617
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:36,800
had district numbers two and three

2618
01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:40,080
already in the bounds boundaries. Um so

2619
01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:44,480
on January 5th, 2026, LGI Homes Utah,

2620
01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:47,280
which is the developer, um submitted a

2621
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:49,520
petition to dissolve the Desert Edge pit

2622
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:52,880
numbers two and three. And um the reason

2623
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:54,639
for the dissolution is based on the fact

2624
01:56:54,639 --> 01:56:56,320
that these districts are no longer

2625
01:56:56,320 --> 01:56:57,840
needed

2626
01:56:57,840 --> 01:56:59,920
um for the purposes for which they were

2627
01:56:59,920 --> 01:57:02,320
created and have not provided any

2628
01:57:02,320 --> 01:57:05,599
services otherwise operated

2629
01:57:05,599 --> 01:57:09,440
um or received any bond funds, taxes or

2630
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:12,800
fees or expended any such funds. So

2631
01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:15,840
there's no outstanding indebtedness or

2632
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:18,800
other financial obligations. Um the

2633
01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:20,880
districts are no longer required to

2634
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:23,520
assist in the financing of public

2635
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:25,520
infrastructure relating to the

2636
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:26,960
construction of the Desert Edge

2637
01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:32,400
development. Um and the board adopted

2638
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:35,280
their resolution 2026

2639
01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:37,440
which is included in your packet um

2640
01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:39,760
authorizing the dissolution of the

2641
01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:43,040
Desert Edge PIDs number two and three.

2642
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:45,360
And we just need a formal resolution

2643
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:47,599
from our council.

2644
01:57:47,599 --> 01:57:53,270
um to approve it as well.

2645
01:57:53,280 --> 01:57:54,719
» That's housekeeping.

2646
01:57:54,719 --> 01:57:56,400
>> Yeah, just a little housekeeping. It

2647
01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:58,880
sounds like Is there anything that needs

2648
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,280
to be discussed on this?

2649
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:04,800
>> I I vaguely remember a council meeting

2650
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:06,480
last year, maybe towards the end of last

2651
01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:10,000
year, where they came in and added some

2652
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:12,639
new members to their board, had some

2653
01:58:12,639 --> 01:58:14,560
members go out and new members. So, that

2654
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:15,840
was probably all in preparation for

2655
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:18,000
this. So, I mean, I I make a motion that

2656
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:21,040
we approve resolution 2026-9

2657
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:23,599
authorizing the dissolution of the

2658
01:58:23,599 --> 01:58:25,440
Desert Edge Public Infrastructure

2659
01:58:25,440 --> 01:58:27,840
Districts numbers two through three.

2660
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:29,360
>> We have a motion by Council Member

2661
01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:30,800
Butler. Is there a second?

2662
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:31,920
>> I'll second.

2663
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:34,159
>> A second by Council Member Dalton. All

2664
01:58:34,159 --> 01:58:37,750
in favor?

2665
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:40,800
» Motion passes. Moving on to item number

2666
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:44,639
11, council reports.

2667
01:58:44,639 --> 01:58:46,880
Uh, somebody want to start?

2668
01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:49,599
>> I go quickly. Um, my meetings are next

2669

But, um,

2672
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:04,880

2673
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:08,639

2677
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:18,639

2679
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:23,040

01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:56,960
>> today is a new day for us.

2697
01:59:56,960 --> 02:00:04,870
>> Let's have a moment of silence.

2698
02:00:04,880 --> 02:00:06,800
» Um Rat, do you have anything?

2699
02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:09,280

um next week. So um nothing really to

2708
02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:33,520

2709
02:00:33,520 --> 02:00:33,920

written down that it's April 6th at 11.

2720
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:56,800
>> That is correct.

2721
02:00:56,800 --> 02:00:58,719
>> Is that still right? Okay. I thought I

2722
02:00:58,719 --> 02:01:00,480
saw maybe something different. So, April

2723
02:01:00,480 --> 02:01:02,880
6th at 11 if anyone would like to

2724
02:01:02,880 --> 02:01:04,480
attend.

2725
02:01:04,480 --> 02:01:04,880
um

2726
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:06,560
>> 461.

2727
02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:08,320
>> Yes.

2728
02:01:08,320 --> 02:01:09,679
>> Could I make just a comment?

2729
02:01:09,679 --> 02:01:10,000
>> Yes.

2730
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:11,760
>> And it it has to do with the rodeo. I

2731
02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:15,440
just just thought of it. Um Shelby,

2732
02:01:15,440 --> 02:01:18,719
you're still here. Um in the last two

2733
02:01:18,719 --> 02:01:20,400
years and three months that that I've

2734
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:22,239
been involved with this, we've had a lot

2735
02:01:22,239 --> 02:01:26,239
of different entities come in here um

2736
02:01:26,239 --> 02:01:28,000
wanting to be a part of our community

2737
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:30,560
and and build homes and do different

2738
02:01:30,560 --> 02:01:32,560
things. Um, I would just encourage you

2739
02:01:32,560 --> 02:01:33,840
to reach out to some of those

2740
02:01:33,840 --> 02:01:35,840
individuals for sponsorship

2741
02:01:35,840 --> 02:01:38,400
opportunities. They can go a long ways

2742
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:41,040
for them to have that down there. I

2743
02:01:41,040 --> 02:01:42,320
mean, I think might might be an

2744
02:01:42,320 --> 02:01:44,000
opportunity for them to give back a

2745
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:45,920
little bit to the community. So,

2746
02:01:45,920 --> 02:01:46,159
>> um,

2747
02:01:46,159 --> 02:01:48,080
>> thank you.

2748
02:01:48,080 --> 02:01:49,760
>> You probably already think of that, but

2749
02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:51,199
I figured

2750
02:01:51,199 --> 02:01:53,920
>> um, you someone should say it. So,

2751
02:01:53,920 --> 02:01:57,040
>> thank you.

2752
02:01:57,040 --> 02:02:01,040
>> Okay. Um, so that's April 6th. We are

2753
02:02:01,040 --> 02:02:03,199
still looking for a date for kind of a

2754
02:02:03,199 --> 02:02:07,040
training day, a retreat in

2755
02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:09,760
so we just need to figure out a date or

2756
02:02:09,760 --> 02:02:11,199
a training.

2757
02:02:11,199 --> 02:02:13,840
>> Um Alicia, can you send out

2758
02:02:13,840 --> 02:02:16,400
>> Yeah, I just some sort of

2759
02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:18,400
>> direction as to what day,

2760
02:02:18,400 --> 02:02:20,639
>> even like a week's worth. But right now,

2761
02:02:20,639 --> 02:02:23,040
I want to

2762
02:02:23,040 --> 02:02:25,199
>> I know it's tricky because everybody's

2763
02:02:25,199 --> 02:02:26,560
schedules are so busy.

2764
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:27,920
>> How long are you thinking it's gonna

2765
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:28,159
take?

2766
02:02:28,159 --> 02:02:30,239
>> Four to five hours. So just like an

2767
02:02:30,239 --> 02:02:32,400
alternate Wednesday instead of because

2768
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:34,320
that's usually we have counsel. So maybe

2769
02:02:34,320 --> 02:02:35,920
one of the alternate Wednesdays we don't

2770
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:39,599
have counsel comes during that Wednesday

2771
02:02:39,599 --> 02:02:40,480
night if that

2772
02:02:40,480 --> 02:02:42,480
>> we do have five Wednesdays this month.

2773
02:02:42,480 --> 02:02:44,239
>> We have youth we have youth council that

2774
02:02:44,239 --> 02:02:47,280
meets al alternate but yeah

2775
02:02:47,280 --> 02:02:49,199
>> if there are five Wednesdays in April

2776
02:02:49,199 --> 02:02:51,199
that's not a terrible because you

2777
02:02:51,199 --> 02:02:52,800
wouldn't have youth council.

2778
02:02:52,800 --> 02:02:53,920
>> No just twice a month.

2779
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:56,480
>> Yeahation

2780
02:02:56,480 --> 02:02:58,800
meetings are up.

2781
02:02:58,800 --> 02:03:00,800
second, fourth Wednesdays.

2782
02:03:00,800 --> 02:03:02,239
>> So, this would be a fifth Wednesday.

2783
02:03:02,239 --> 02:03:03,199
>> Fifth Wednesday.

2784
02:03:03,199 --> 02:03:06,000
>> Yeah.

2785
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:08,159
>> That's the 29th.

2786
02:03:08,159 --> 02:03:10,080
>> Um, if everyone could just check your

2787
02:03:10,080 --> 02:03:13,920
calendar for the 29th. And are you out,

2788
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:20,870
Brett? Okay.

2789
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:24,470
» What about the 28th?

2790
02:03:24,480 --> 02:03:30,000
» So, May 9th, next Wednesday.

2791
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:31,840
>> I'm not sure that I can make that work.

2792
02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:33,520
I'll have to check.

2793
02:03:33,520 --> 02:03:35,440
>> That's out.

2794
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:36,639
>> Yeah, Alicia's out.

2795
02:03:36,639 --> 02:03:38,719
>> Oh, okay. Right.

2796
02:03:38,719 --> 02:03:40,960
>> Saturday.

2797
02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:41,760
>> No way.

2798
02:03:41,760 --> 02:03:45,360
>> Friday from 5 to 10.

2799
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:46,800
>> Which Friday?

2800
02:03:46,800 --> 02:03:48,639
>> I'm just throwing it out there. Oh,

2801
02:03:48,639 --> 02:03:54,390
>> Friday.

2802
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:57,360
Monday.

2803
02:03:57,360 --> 02:03:59,840
will work best for staff probably during

2804
02:03:59,840 --> 02:04:01,360
regular hours.

2805
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:03,360
>> Yeah, but we'll accommodate everyone

2806
02:04:03,360 --> 02:04:04,560
who's going to be doing the training

2807
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:05,840
salary. So, we'll accommodate your

2808
02:04:05,840 --> 02:04:15,109
schedules best for the council.

2809
02:04:15,119 --> 02:04:16,880
I think we just throw out three or four

2810
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:22,550
days.

2811
02:04:22,560 --> 02:04:24,400
What what would be your day of

2812
02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:29,669
preference as far as day of the week?

2813
02:04:29,679 --> 02:04:33,990
» Do you want to lose a Saturday?

2814
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:36,880
» I I kind of like Friday potentially if

2815
02:04:36,880 --> 02:04:38,639
we could

2816
02:04:38,639 --> 02:04:41,360
send out a beautiful for Friday. Then

2817
02:04:41,360 --> 02:04:43,760
>> works better for me too,

2818
02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:45,520
>> Derek.

2819
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:48,560
Even if it was in the after like in the

2820
02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:50,159
afternoon we start at like 2 or

2821
02:04:50,159 --> 02:04:51,760
something. I don't know. I don't know

2822
02:04:51,760 --> 02:04:54,639
how it or three or five. I don't know

2823
02:04:54,639 --> 02:04:56,159
how everyone's schedules.

2824
02:04:56,159 --> 02:05:01,679
>> I do any Friday after for three on

2825
02:05:01,679 --> 02:05:02,639
>> good.

2826
02:05:02,639 --> 02:05:04,560
>> How does that

2827
02:05:04,560 --> 02:05:07,199
Yeah, I'd say start Friday at three.

2828
02:05:07,199 --> 02:05:07,520
>> Okay.

2829
02:05:07,520 --> 02:05:11,990
>> I just need a little notice.

2830
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:14,080
So, Alicia, can you maybe send out some

2831
02:05:14,080 --> 02:05:16,639
Fridays and then we can respond to that?

2832
02:05:16,639 --> 02:05:17,280
>> Okay,

2833
02:05:17,280 --> 02:05:19,760
>> perfect. Thank you.

2834
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:23,920
>> Um, the tree the trees arrive next

2835
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:27,199
Friday. So, those who in this community

2836
02:05:27,199 --> 02:05:29,599
who ordered trees, those will be here

2837
02:05:29,599 --> 02:05:31,679
next Friday. We'll have our Arch Arbor

2838
02:05:31,679 --> 02:05:35,199
Day um celebrations at this elementary

2839
02:05:35,199 --> 02:05:38,000
schools in town on that date.

2840
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:45,430
Um,

2841
02:05:45,440 --> 02:05:46,800
the fire department mentioned this

2842
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:48,239
earlier, but I just wanted to point it

2843
02:05:48,239 --> 02:05:51,199
out. The training is at 8 a.m. on April

2844
02:05:51,199 --> 02:05:54,470
11th.

2845
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:59,119
And then, yes, the nuclear campus. We uh

2846
02:05:59,119 --> 02:06:00,960
Governor Cox has submitted that

2847
02:06:00,960 --> 02:06:03,920
application to the federal government as

2848
02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:08,239
of today, April 1st, for

2849
02:06:08,239 --> 02:06:11,119
um a nuclear campus uh that is going to

2850
02:06:11,119 --> 02:06:13,119
be built about

2851
02:06:13,119 --> 02:06:17,599
22 25 miles west of Grantsville.

2852
02:06:17,599 --> 02:06:19,760
Uh they are the federal government will

2853
02:06:19,760 --> 02:06:23,040
make a decision on that. Um they are

2854
02:06:23,040 --> 02:06:25,280
planning to make that decision by June

2855
02:06:25,280 --> 02:06:26,800
or July.

2856
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:29,360
and

2857
02:06:29,360 --> 02:06:32,000
we will go from there. So, we haven't

2858
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:33,920
had a lot of information given to us

2859
02:06:33,920 --> 02:06:37,360
prior to the last couple weeks. So, um

2860
02:06:37,360 --> 02:06:38,880
we're still all trying to figure that

2861
02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:39,440
out as well.

2862
02:06:39,440 --> 02:06:40,880
>> I had a question on that. You know how

2863
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:45,040
we got that Q&A from the SE? Is that

2864
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:48,159
something that we can give?

2865
02:06:48,159 --> 02:06:50,000
I got a lot of questions on it. I know

2866
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:50,880
that kind of

2867
02:06:50,880 --> 02:06:52,320
>> it is something we can give to the

2868
02:06:52,320 --> 02:06:54,639
public. I I wondered, and you can

2869
02:06:54,639 --> 02:06:56,480
express your opinions on this, I

2870
02:06:56,480 --> 02:06:59,760
wondered if it was um something we wait

2871
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:02,480
until Utah has actually been selected as

2872
02:07:02,480 --> 02:07:04,880
the site rather than causing concern

2873
02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:06,960
over something that's just a maybe. From

2874
02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:10,239
what I understood to date, um there are

2875
02:07:10,239 --> 02:07:12,239
17 different states that have put in

2876
02:07:12,239 --> 02:07:17,199
applications for for this. So I don't I

2877
02:07:17,199 --> 02:07:18,960
don't know that we release it now where

2878
02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:21,840
it's just still a possibility and it's

2879
02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:23,119
not in our control.

2880
02:07:23,119 --> 02:07:25,520
>> Yeah. I have a lot of people

2881
02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:28,480
>> Yes. And so I I've debated that myself.

2882
02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:30,320
What What's everybody's opinion? Release

2883
02:07:30,320 --> 02:07:31,119
the information.

2884
02:07:31,119 --> 02:07:32,960
>> I think it's all potential right now. I

2885
02:07:32,960 --> 02:07:34,639
mean, yeah, I

2886
02:07:34,639 --> 02:07:36,639
>> until

2887
02:07:36,639 --> 02:07:38,800
there's an actual selection doesn't

2888
02:07:38,800 --> 02:07:39,760
become

2889
02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:40,560
>> a reality.

2890
02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:42,320
>> I I I don't know. I'm kind of both ways.

2891
02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:45,119
said it's probably good to have the

2892
02:07:45,119 --> 02:07:47,599
information there anyways. Um, but if

2893
02:07:47,599 --> 02:07:50,159
it's not going to happen,

2894
02:07:50,159 --> 02:07:51,520
>> yeah,

2895
02:07:51,520 --> 02:07:52,639
>> there's a real possibility.

2896
02:07:52,639 --> 02:07:53,920
>> I don't think this is the state

2897
02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:55,679
withholding that information.

2898
02:07:55,679 --> 02:07:57,440
>> No, I have the information. They're not

2899
02:07:57,440 --> 02:07:59,119
withholding it in any way. I just didn't

2900
02:07:59,119 --> 02:08:00,320
know if we Yes,

2901
02:08:00,320 --> 02:08:02,079
>> I I don't see why we couldn't share

2902
02:08:02,079 --> 02:08:02,800
that.

2903
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:04,480
>> Well, we can definitely share it. I just

2904
02:08:04,480 --> 02:08:06,639
didn't want to cause undue concern if it

2905
02:08:06,639 --> 02:08:07,040
wasn't

2906
02:08:07,040 --> 02:08:08,880
>> I actually think the Q&A actually

2907
02:08:08,880 --> 02:08:10,239
doesn't cause that.

2908
02:08:10,239 --> 02:08:11,520
>> It causes less concern.

2909
02:08:11,520 --> 02:08:13,920
>> Yeah. just it answers some questions,

2910
02:08:13,920 --> 02:08:15,920
>> some pretty important questions

2911
02:08:15,920 --> 02:08:19,440
>> like water,

2912
02:08:19,440 --> 02:08:21,599
>> and water.

2913
02:08:21,599 --> 02:08:23,119
>> I'll have staff put on the Facebook

2914
02:08:23,119 --> 02:08:24,159
page.

2915
02:08:24,159 --> 02:08:24,800
>> Okay,

2916
02:08:24,800 --> 02:08:26,159
>> that's just fine.

2917
02:08:26,159 --> 02:08:28,719
>> I think I think we probably ought to let

2918
02:08:28,719 --> 02:08:31,599
I I don't know that C

2919
02:08:31,599 --> 02:08:34,639
>> it was announced it it's it's a done

2920
02:08:34,639 --> 02:08:36,560
deal, right? So, I think it would be

2921
02:08:36,560 --> 02:08:39,920
good to insinuate that, you know, that

2922
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:42,960
it's been submitted and it'll be based

2923
02:08:42,960 --> 02:08:46,000
on a federal selection. So, we're we're

2924
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:48,560
obviously I mean, we've made the or the

2925
02:08:48,560 --> 02:08:50,719
states made the proposal and we'd be in

2926
02:08:50,719 --> 02:08:53,280
the running one of 17 sites,

2927
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:53,760
>> right?

2928
02:08:53,760 --> 02:08:56,079
>> And I don't think they're picking

2929
02:08:56,079 --> 02:08:57,920
probably multiple sites with with how

2930
02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:00,639
much they'd have to invest in that

2931
02:09:00,639 --> 02:09:01,679
campus,

2932
02:09:01,679 --> 02:09:04,159
>> right? Several states from my

2933
02:09:04,159 --> 02:09:06,079
understanding

2934
02:09:06,079 --> 02:09:08,880
um are are submitting like two states

2935
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:10,800
together and they would do part in one

2936
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:13,360
state and part in another and they're

2937
02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:16,239
submitting an application together.

2938
02:09:16,239 --> 02:09:18,400
Utah's application is obviously one

2939
02:09:18,400 --> 02:09:21,520
location. So I don't know how that's

2940
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:23,199
going to play out. No,

2941
02:09:23,199 --> 02:09:26,159
>> looking at the location, it's

2942
02:09:26,159 --> 02:09:26,480
>> Yeah,

2943
02:09:26,480 --> 02:09:27,520
>> it's a good choice,

2944
02:09:27,520 --> 02:09:28,560
>> right?

2945
02:09:28,560 --> 02:09:30,800
>> You're going to put something out there.

2946
02:09:30,800 --> 02:09:32,719
That' be it. Definitely wore the wrong

2947
02:09:32,719 --> 02:09:34,800
clothes to go out there. But that I

2948
02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:36,239
definitely wore the wrong clothes when I

2949
02:09:36,239 --> 02:09:38,159
went out there. Still my shoes still

2950
02:09:38,159 --> 02:09:42,629
have dust all over.

2951
02:09:42,639 --> 02:09:45,760
» Jake wore the right boots.

2952
02:09:45,760 --> 02:09:47,040
>> Governor wore boots.

2953
02:09:47,040 --> 02:09:50,400
>> Yes, he did.

2954
02:09:50,400 --> 02:09:52,560
>> Uh any um Michael, do you have anything

2955
02:09:52,560 --> 02:09:53,440
you'd like to

2956
02:09:53,440 --> 02:09:54,560
>> No, I think you covered most of the

2957
02:09:54,560 --> 02:09:55,280
stuff already.

2958
02:09:55,280 --> 02:09:57,679
>> Okay. Any other staff members have

2959
02:09:57,679 --> 02:10:00,000
anything they'd like to address?

2960
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:01,520
Can we make a Facebook post for the

2961
02:10:01,520 --> 02:10:02,800
rodeo?

2962
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:04,480
>> Oh, yeah.

2963
02:10:04,480 --> 02:10:05,199
>> Now, yes,

2964
02:10:05,199 --> 02:10:06,800
>> more than one.

2965
02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:07,840
>> Yes.

2966
02:10:07,840 --> 02:10:08,880
>> Christie, do you have anything?

2967
02:10:08,880 --> 02:10:10,960
>> The highest number.

2968
02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:13,840
>> All right, then. With that, oh, Bill,

2969
02:10:13,840 --> 02:10:15,360
you are back there. Bill, do you have

2970
02:10:15,360 --> 02:10:16,239
anything?

2971
02:10:16,239 --> 02:10:17,280
>> I'm good. Thank you.

2972
02:10:17,280 --> 02:10:19,360
>> Okay. Either the chief's back there have

2973
02:10:19,360 --> 02:10:21,360
anything you'd like to address? Oh,

2974
02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:23,920
we're good. All right. At at this time,

2975
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:26,239
we need to move into a close session.

2976
02:10:26,239 --> 02:10:28,000
So, if I could have somebody make that

2977
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:29,360
motion.

2978
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:31,679
May I make a motion we move into a close

2979
02:10:31,679 --> 02:10:32,719
session?

2980
02:10:32,719 --> 02:10:34,480
>> Have a motion by council member Dalton.

2981
02:10:34,480 --> 02:10:35,040
Is there a second?

2982
02:10:35,040 --> 02:10:36,400
>> I second.

2983
02:10:36,400 --> 02:10:38,480
>> Council member Thomas has seconded that.

2984
02:10:38,480 --> 02:10:41,199
And um thank you for all the members of

2985
02:10:41,199 --> 02:10:43,199
the public for your comments and your

2986
02:10:43,199 --> 02:10:46,239
concerns and for attending tonight.

2987
02:10:46,239 --> 02:10:51,910
>> And we'll take a five minute break.

2988
02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:57,040
put it. I didn't know I'll pass it.
