1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,900
Yes, provided that this agreement is in, and

2
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:15,080
we're got a question. I think that's part of the body.

3
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:30,440
That's the right question. I can't have a battery backup on there. Yes. Well, yeah, yeah. And that was one of the things that when we were speaking with some of the folks from Fortaline,

4
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:40,640
the distributor who was that we purchased this whole system from. They were saying something

5
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,640
about having to reset it after power outages or power which is and resetting. That's

6
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,460
one of the primary concerns I would say of the atomic abolition trope, but it would

7
00:00:53,460 --> 00:01:00,480
provide us access on a wing, shall we say, to have to get in there and reset it. So there

8
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:08,860
will be a small, you know, UPS that will be as part of this whole kit. Actually, we're

9
00:01:08,860 --> 00:01:14,680
going to put same thing on the one-up of the contacts. So if there is a slight power glitch

10
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,320
then at least we will be protected from that.

11
00:01:20,860 --> 00:01:23,900
The power glitches, I do not, for about

12
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:26,540
We now have been without a signal from our tanks.

13
00:01:28,060 --> 00:01:32,680
We are trying to work with the manufacturer of that package

14
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,480
and try to troubleshoot it, figure out

15
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,160
what we're going to need to do to get that back on the line.

16
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,020
That's the spec that was from the power glitch.

17
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,800
And they have been because it wasn't so much sure.

18
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,200
They have been because it wasn't properly grounded.

19
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:48,140
One of them is installed.

20
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,280
So we're going to try to check that out.

21
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:52,320
I'm going to show you.

22
00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:59,140
Manually you have to roll up there and yes, but we at this point we know the pattern

23
00:01:59,980 --> 00:02:04,640
How we fill the tanks and really what we're most concerned about there

24
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:27,300
I, on my way up here, I swung up there.

25
00:02:27,460 --> 00:02:31,020
I got a number for, you know, the handy section could be coded.

26
00:02:32,660 --> 00:02:35,920
But like I said, we're pretty comfortable with what the pattern is.

27
00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:40,000
If something works as a dramatic, we go on off suddenly,

28
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,600
we're supposed to start losing a lot of the sympathy.

29
00:02:43,420 --> 00:02:47,040
We, you know, we don't have the advantage of being able to see that, you know,

30
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,660
But like I said, we're not going to attract it, but we're going to get this one involved, so.

31
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,060
All right.

32
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:55,720
Okay.

33
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Thank you.

34
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,060
Thank you.

35
00:03:03,010 --> 00:03:04,490
Water Commission report.

36
00:03:07,420 --> 00:03:09,100
The chair is not here.

37
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:19,440
I will just, I would like to just let people know that there was discussion at the last water commission meeting

38
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:33,600
about the surprisingly large charges for the March bills of a good number of the water

39
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:45,440
customers and still there's still some mysteries in that that we are working with ways that

40
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,700
that the Council might address that to the customers.

41
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:50,980
So that is legal to come up next month.

42
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Okay, thank you.

43
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Treasurer's reports and approvals

44
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,600
will be an approval of financial reports.

45
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:04,580
Great, so we're looking at month ending May,

46
00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:08,800
which is 91.6% of the existing year.

47
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:14,240
Our income less reserves is $1,353,000,

48
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,180
So, when your revision 7 comes around next month,

49
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,060
that will equal out a little better.

50
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,760
And operating income, I mean, excuse me,

51
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:26,780
operating expenses are about 96%.

52
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,260
In water, you're at revision 2.

53
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,800
So, this is the revision that we've decreased our income.

54
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:37,280
And the overall performance is 89% with cost of blood

55
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:40,180
about 91% so we're coming right in on that part of the number

56
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:46,480
are better expenses at 82.5. Any questions specifically on financial work I can receive?

57
00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:52,900
I'm going to approve the financial reports as presented. Second.

58
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,080
Okay, any further discussion? All in favor?

59
00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:01,990
Okay. Approval of invoices and purchases.

60
00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:10,910
Yes, so Dem has the list that has been distributed on one of them. There is a

61
00:05:10,910 --> 00:05:16,970
an invoice for one of the police vehicles that we want to look into a

62
00:05:16,970 --> 00:05:22,750
bit more, but beyond that, I'm definitely want to describe generally the

63
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:24,550
invoices beyond that.

64
00:05:24,910 --> 00:05:30,250
We have the panel retainer for the website development

65
00:05:31,530 --> 00:05:34,930
we have the repair for the water dump trucks

66
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:48,030
and some maintenance and materials for the meter that were purchased back in May and then our annual assessment for public transmission.

67
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:57,750
So all those invoices are here. They'll be for you. And then as you said, the first item was for our maintenance for the police department.

68
00:05:58,530 --> 00:06:04,390
I believe that the invoices and purchases be approved as submitted with the police vehicle repairing

69
00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:10,310
boys to be reviewed by the police chief and mayor before dispersing the funds to the vendor.

70
00:06:10,890 --> 00:06:11,410
Secretary.

71
00:06:12,110 --> 00:06:15,250
Okay. Any further discussion? All in favor?

72
00:06:15,890 --> 00:06:16,070
Yes.

73
00:06:21,170 --> 00:06:22,710
Budget Finance Committee.

74
00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:26,510
Discussion and action regarding distribution system pays more.

75
00:06:26,510 --> 00:06:31,150
So, yes, so we did the heavy lifting on this at the special meeting and those easements

76
00:06:31,150 --> 00:06:37,730
that were approved are in process and everything is on track to begin that construction.

77
00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:40,510
Yeah, probably in August for the other three.

78
00:06:42,780 --> 00:06:43,200
Okay.

79
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,420
Item two, discussion and action regarding FY 24 distribution system phase two water members.

80
00:06:51,980 --> 00:06:54,420
We heard most of that from the public works administrator.

81
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,180
The data integration is in the works right now.

82
00:06:59,180 --> 00:07:04,780
The EPA had its visit, and they were, I believe we were still thrilled with the implementation,

83
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:09,360
and they were impressed by how prepared the town was for it.

84
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,940
And we already have, from the meter implementation, portable access, we have lead detection that

85
00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:18,680
has already turned up a few weeks.

86
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:25,940
And once we have the data integration, then we'll be looking at public portal access to be

87
00:07:25,940 --> 00:07:29,080
to look at our individual bills.

88
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,140
And also-

89
00:07:32,140 --> 00:07:33,640
Yeah, relief detection to be clear,

90
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:40,580
because we're getting alerted regarding customer sign leaks.

91
00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:44,540
So eventually we will have main sign leak detection,

92
00:07:44,740 --> 00:07:47,960
but this would be happening to help a lot of people

93
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,560
with high usage in a very swift manner.

94
00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:53,940
And then-

95
00:07:53,940 --> 00:08:02,660
There is how resolution this month, the work that was performed by the instrument for the installation of the meter will all come in next month.

96
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:15,220
Item F3 discussion in action regarding update regarding FY26 CDS distribution system phase three.

97
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:22,040
So this one distribution improvement project is now in the hands of the engineer and is moving forward on schedule.

98
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,240
for

99
00:08:27,970 --> 00:08:30,990
discussion and action regarding maintenance of Maine's contract.

100
00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:35,910
Yeah, Deb, do you want to describe the bills we have?

101
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:41,290
Okay, so we have three bills from Green Ranch for work on.

102
00:08:41,290 --> 00:08:55,050
Spruce Street, Putnam and Mercer, Spruce was 2700, Putnam was 2862, and Mercer was 4800,

103
00:08:55,350 --> 00:09:03,930
and 30 dollars, these were all weeks that came up during the month of June, if I'm not mistaken.

104
00:09:08,690 --> 00:09:15,570
So that will be somewhat reimburseed by the capital capacity fee.

105
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:24,150
I move to spend up to $10,000 to pay the green rich in voices for maintenance of maintenance

106
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:24,590
work.

107
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:26,090
Second.

108
00:09:26,090 --> 00:09:29,890
Okay, I'm getting further discussion, all in favor?

109
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:32,680
Animous?

110
00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:40,650
Discussion and action regarding water world to vehicle.

111
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:45,350
So I'm going to turn this over to Jesse, but the short version is the vehicle has been

112
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:52,090
identified with the lease arrangement that comports with our policy as far as not encumbering future

113
00:09:52,090 --> 00:09:52,450
councils.

114
00:09:53,270 --> 00:09:57,230
So it's a two-to-two-twice-six-four-maverite hybrid

115
00:10:00,090 --> 00:10:00,990
that's a triple drive.

116
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:04,450
And just to face its service vehicle,

117
00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:08,210
it will arrive on the line and furthering through the 20th of the 21st,

118
00:10:08,490 --> 00:10:12,790
and it will be available as soon as we want to go collect it.

119
00:10:13,050 --> 00:10:17,850
All right, I'm going to call West Virginia Department of Heavenly Smart Up

120
00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:22,890
and just asked about their vehicle purchase program

121
00:10:22,890 --> 00:10:27,970
and acquired, assuming that there's no profound changes

122
00:10:27,970 --> 00:10:30,010
or information from them,

123
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:32,290
we'll get it forward and move forward with the lease.

124
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:37,870
And other details are believe it came out

125
00:10:37,870 --> 00:10:40,550
to be $610 a month on the lease,

126
00:10:40,950 --> 00:10:43,330
and we had, that's well under the $700 budget

127
00:10:43,330 --> 00:10:44,650
that we had previously set.

128
00:10:44,650 --> 00:11:03,290
I move to lease a new Ford Maverick from the Frederick Motor Company with a purchase price of $29,525 per Ford Finance and Quote number 106108 at the 60 month term at 8.348.34%.

129
00:11:05,830 --> 00:11:07,650
Okay, name further discussion.

130
00:11:08,970 --> 00:11:09,890
All in favor?

131
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:12,840
Thank you, unanimous.

132
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:19,640
Uh, it's six discussion in action regarding water worst personnel capacity.

133
00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:24,640
We'll be discussing it.

134
00:11:25,460 --> 00:11:30,420
We can do this in the session where we can do exactly that because further than that, but

135
00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:38,020
we're being public works administrators currently working on a lead for a class two and also

136
00:11:38,020 --> 00:11:43,200
So working with the subject matter expert on developing a Facebook ad in pursuit of

137
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,960
the experts meeting for the water works.

138
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,820
And we discuss this in budget finance this afternoon.

139
00:11:49,340 --> 00:11:55,840
Another potential avenue is to work with the area technical schools, Blue Ridge, Rumsy.

140
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,200
So that's something that can be worked on as well.

141
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:01,840
Okay.

142
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:02,340
Thank you.

143
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,460
seven discussion in action regarding FY 27 cold severance revision 1.

144
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:13,800
So I'll read this in a little of your comments and I'll also write your

145
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,240
attention that when I did this two weeks ago, I didn't realize the

146
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,720
marijuana would be here, so it is written in the hard copy that you have as

147
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:28,000
an marijuana, I will read it as acting mayor pardon and I'll revise this tomorrow

148
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:36,140
then, so that you can authorize, recording off the serve, because that's how it will be written

149
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,520
and then he will only have to make a signature.

150
00:12:39,180 --> 00:12:39,360
Okay.

151
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:39,940
Okay.

152
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:48,920
So this is the resolution for post-severance with the 27 budget revision 1 and a regular session

153
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:54,260
of municipal council held on July 13, 2026, the following order was made and entered.

154
00:12:54,260 --> 00:13:00,700
The addition of the Lenby estimate of the town purpose fairy West Virginia, the following

155
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:07,520
resolution was offered, resolved that the subject to approval of the state auditor as

156
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,140
ex officio chief inspector of public offices, the municipal council does here by directive

157
00:13:12,140 --> 00:13:16,980
budget, to be revised prior to the expenditure of obligation and cost for which no appropriation

158
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:20,780
or insufficient appropriation currently exists as shown on budget revision.

159
00:13:20,780 --> 00:13:31,080
One, a copy of which is an address part of this record, adoption for the resolution having been moved by, and we'll do that when we get there, and then Julie seconded.

160
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,580
So, you can, and then I'll leave the end of it as I need to be emotional.

161
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:45,620
So, after you make your motion, whereupon acting mayor Kevin Cardin declared and said resolution

162
00:13:45,620 --> 00:13:53,240
to the adopted and is therefore a judgment order that said resolution be and the same is

163
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,500
here by the adopted and so stating above and the recording officer is authorized to fix the signature

164
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:04,600
on the attached request revision and approve the budget to be sentenced to honor the court rule.

165
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:18,400
This basically increases that whole severance budget by $70, and we allocates the amount of distribution to the fire department to an increase of $104.

166
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,000
The rest of the fire department contribution comes out of your general fund.

167
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:31,100
I move to approve the fiscal year 27, whole severance revision one budget as presented.

168
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,220
Second.

169
00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:35,860
Okay. Any further discussion? All in favour?

170
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,160
I'll have to do a roll call.

171
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:38,680
Sorry.

172
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,220
A storm bigest then, sir.

173
00:14:41,460 --> 00:14:41,600
Yes.

174
00:14:42,220 --> 00:14:42,620
Chris Craig.

175
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:43,080
Yes.

176
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:44,080
Jesse Mell.

177
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:44,380
Yes.

178
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:45,320
Christian?

179
00:14:45,860 --> 00:14:46,080
Yes.

180
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,020
And I have a yes.

181
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,600
So you may have a miss.

182
00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:51,470
And then start.

183
00:14:51,630 --> 00:14:53,110
People can look small outside for me.

184
00:14:53,170 --> 00:14:53,490
We'll be good.

185
00:14:54,390 --> 00:14:54,770
Okay.

186
00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:54,830
Okay.

187
00:14:55,870 --> 00:14:56,790
Um.

188
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:28,420
Any discussion and action regarding the police department training? Yes. So continuing education is recommended or required of our police officers, 16 hours of training. And the proposal is to potentially combine with other forces in the area and to bring instructors up from Charleston. So extraordinary expenses would be hotel for probably two instructors, projector and premium.

189
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:40,860
So, I moved to a side up to $750 to facilitate police department continuing education depending potential collaboration with other local police forces.

190
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:42,400
Second.

191
00:15:43,260 --> 00:15:44,480
Okay, any further discussion?

192
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,220
That would be adjusted in the physical 27 revision line, which will come to the end of the month.

193
00:15:51,860 --> 00:15:53,320
And it also includes the meeting room.

194
00:15:56,250 --> 00:15:56,990
Okay. Thank you.

195
00:15:58,390 --> 00:15:59,310
All in favor?

196
00:16:00,430 --> 00:16:00,950
No,

197
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,780
I have a discussion in action regarding tell and website.

198
00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:09,120
Yes, work with revised continues.

199
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,820
So feedback has been solicited from the various committees and commissions.

200
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:15,560
Thank you to Jesse Melton for that.

201
00:16:16,380 --> 00:16:20,600
Site map has been submitted to vendors as well as high resolution photos.

202
00:16:20,660 --> 00:16:23,020
And the next thing will be a formal pick-off call.

203
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,120
And then they're going to start to open it.

204
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,980
Okay,

205
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:34,160
ten discussion and action regarding FY27 Historic Landmarks Commission funding

206
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:34,680
request.

207
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:44,960
Yes, so landmarks had requested funds for two different projects and we discussed them.

208
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:51,420
We wanted to facilitate them, but there was not complete information per the town's purchasing

209
00:16:51,420 --> 00:16:59,780
or per-town spending policy which all buttons must follow, so I'm going to make these motions.

210
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:07,440
The first one moved to allocate up to $1,800 to historic landmarks for expenses related

211
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:13,500
to vacant and whited properties out of 9-1-1 historic land commission, landmarks commission,

212
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:18,680
a pot receipt of appropriate documentation to include but not limited to a detailed budget

213
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:25,540
and or quotes. Second. Okay. Any further discussion on that? All in favor?

214
00:17:29,130 --> 00:17:31,230
And similarly, I moved to

215
00:17:31,230 --> 00:17:38,550
allocate up to $750 to historic landmarks for editing services related to appendix A out of

216
00:17:38,550 --> 00:17:45,330
historic landmarks commission 9-1-1. Upon receiving appropriate documentation to include but not limited to

217
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:47,190
to a detailed budget and or close.

218
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:48,290
Second.

219
00:17:49,770 --> 00:17:51,470
Okay, any further discussion on that?

220
00:17:52,410 --> 00:17:52,930
All in favor?

221
00:17:55,050 --> 00:17:55,590
And this?

222
00:17:59,070 --> 00:17:59,990
Uh, nine.

223
00:18:00,150 --> 00:18:03,150
Discussion and action regarding FY27 budget at funding

224
00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:05,870
for the Appalachian Chamber Music Festival.

225
00:18:06,570 --> 00:18:09,570
Yes, the Appalachian Chamber Music Festival did provide

226
00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:12,130
documents for their fiscal year's standard.

227
00:18:12,730 --> 00:18:15,130
And this is for the, I think this may have been mentioned

228
00:18:15,130 --> 00:18:18,130
already, the concert that's coming up on the

229
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:23,630
historic college, Lawn and a couple of pop-up concerts in lower town. I moved to distribute

230
00:18:23,970 --> 00:18:29,370
up to $3,500 to the Appalachian Chamber Music Festival out of 906 Arts and Humanities

231
00:18:29,370 --> 00:18:37,670
a potter seat of appropriate documentation. Any further discussion on that? All in favor?

232
00:18:50,460 --> 00:19:03,040
We have none coming before the Council tonight. I don't have my written report for me. I forgot

233
00:19:07,420 --> 00:19:11,280
We have no action at this time.

234
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,280
Internal office operations.

235
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:23,820
The chair is not here but there is not been a meeting since the last meeting.

236
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:31,880
A new business discussion in action regarding an open house hiring event.

237
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:33,440
That's me.

238
00:19:34,420 --> 00:19:34,580
Okay.

239
00:19:34,580 --> 00:19:40,520
So, a few weeks ago, I had a, and this is, I'm going on my own, this is not through any

240
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:46,300
of the committee's commissions, but I had a discussion with Steve, and he was a little

241
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:54,280
frustrated about the lack of high-risk employees. So, I gave it a lot of thought about what

242
00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:01,580
we have been doing so far, and I was not, I was thinking just doing the same thing, like

243
00:20:01,580 --> 00:20:08,620
ads in the newspaper or use in d.com or recruiter and all, we have been coming up dry.

244
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:15,640
So my past, I used to work at General Motors as a wall back, but I was a Promotions Research

245
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,760
Manager for them.

246
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,800
So I'm very familiar with doing promotions, so what I was suggesting that we do is a heart

247
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:27,600
prosperity open house hiring event because we're looking to hire, I'm not really sure, but

248
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,880
between three and five people I believe and this way we do it like in an

249
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,260
afternoon it's a low cost thing takes a lot of work though it'll take a lot of

250
00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:43,180
staff and take volunteer and others and this event I outlined is a

251
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:50,640
combination of AI I did use AI and what I put in it and this would just be a

252
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,060
one-day event we had a really great opportunity to sell the story working for

253
00:20:56,060 --> 00:20:59,960
or public institution like Carpenter.

254
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,320
And I think we have to kind of sell it up, build it up,

255
00:21:05,620 --> 00:21:08,980
and create some, I think there's community

256
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:10,780
would like to get no more about it.

257
00:21:10,860 --> 00:21:12,160
They may have friends, neighbors,

258
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,540
there may be other people.

259
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,980
This could really spread around

260
00:21:15,980 --> 00:21:17,140
where we don't have to,

261
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:21,100
we might get a lot more candidates

262
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,000
than we're going to get those other ways.

263
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,340
So this is not an action item.

264
00:21:25,340 --> 00:21:32,120
is just a discussion, whether there's any merit to pursue this, but I think we have to go

265
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:38,940
out of the box. I know we've never done this before, but it's doable, and I think we can

266
00:21:39,420 --> 00:21:42,980
find some good people out there. Would you like to work with a corporation on our risk

267
00:21:42,980 --> 00:21:43,120
merit?

268
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:49,300
I think the concept is awesome, and you're right we haven't had a report. I think it is good,

269
00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:52,580
but you know, we do need to do a better job of calling our story.

270
00:21:54,140 --> 00:21:58,080
I think, you know, we have some other things that have to be sorted out, like, you know,

271
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,280
or a single little job descriptions and things like that.

272
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,960
But I think, you know, this is definitely something we should keep on books.

273
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,220
You know, this is a good way forward in perhaps, you know, we're going to need police officers

274
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:13,560
and other people in the future. This may be the new way.

275
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,720
Thank you. That's awesome.

276
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:27,980
So, Christian, do you have any suggestions on what the costs would be, you know, we can

277
00:22:27,980 --> 00:22:29,840
tell her in holding the thing?

278
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,880
Well, it's really going to be a lot of staff and stuff being involved in doing this.

279
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,780
But a lot, this is really a low cost thing.

280
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:44,280
I mean, we're not really advertising much, we're doing things through Facebook.

281
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:51,220
We're going to do whatever we can on the community in the newspapers and

282
00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:56,440
nearby the community news things that they have there for posting events.

283
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,240
We're just and maybe we can do a story with a newspaper talking about what

284
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,680
we're trying to do here in Harper's Ferry. I don't think it's going to be a big

285
00:23:07,180 --> 00:23:11,980
costly thing to do. I mean refreshments and it's going to be an exciting time.

286
00:23:11,980 --> 00:23:14,040
We're going to have police car out in the driveway.

287
00:23:14,380 --> 00:23:19,220
We're going to, I mean, in the parking lot, we'll have water works via callout there.

288
00:23:19,380 --> 00:23:20,960
We'll maybe get a fire truck over here.

289
00:23:21,340 --> 00:23:23,660
You know, we're going to make this like a real fest of the event.

290
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,060
And we're not hiring anybody at this event.

291
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,580
This is just to generate traffic.

292
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,720
That's all it is.

293
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:35,420
And hopefully we get some names and numbers, names and phone numbers and emails and follow

294
00:23:35,420 --> 00:23:41,060
up with them to set up for appointments for proper interviews.

295
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,960
If I can suggest it's really cool, but a slightly different spin, for the purpose to remain

296
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,620
for to highlight the job opportunities now in the future part of the study, but if

297
00:23:53,620 --> 00:23:58,280
we post it as a town open house, like we did the one with the police department in the past

298
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,440
a couple of years, it was really great, and absolutely have hiring as one of the main features,

299
00:24:03,940 --> 00:24:07,940
but to have it be, I mean for assembling this, I think it'd be a great opportunity for

300
00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:13,700
be able to see, like, touch what the town does in some way, and then have absolutely

301
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:18,240
great banner on a table about what an opportunity is.

302
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,640
Get your jobs here.

303
00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:26,120
But a lot of people don't realize that if public service is a, there's great benefits.

304
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:31,740
I don't know what to pay for say, but I do know the retirement and the health care benefits

305
00:24:31,740 --> 00:24:32,640
are pretty important.

306
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,860
A lot of small, a lot of people work for maybe small business and they don't have much

307
00:24:37,860 --> 00:24:42,160
opportunity in those areas. So this would give them, you know, we need to let people know that

308
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,560
this is a, this is a good job and you can be here for a long time. You can have a career here

309
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:52,300
in our prosperity. So we just need to think like a company. We need to think like a business

310
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:59,560
with and but we're not a business but we need to think like that to generate a lot of this and it

311
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,220
may not even happen this time. Maybe later on we'll get some more, you know, we're just going to get

312
00:25:04,220 --> 00:25:05,440
recognize the hate.

313
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,200
This is a good place to work.

314
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,900
Yeah, we don't plan to see the people's minds.

315
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:10,560
It's great.

316
00:25:12,180 --> 00:25:12,700
OK.

317
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:13,900
Is that it?

318
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:16,100
Thank you.

319
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,480
The discussion and action are done previously approved but deferred,

320
00:25:21,580 --> 00:25:24,280
parking, enforcement, expansion, and permanent analysis.

321
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,020
So, if the good word in that meeting we discussed,

322
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,000
we getting the parking reports from out of all panel streets.

323
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,880
and we're going to be an announcement to that fact in the newsletter reminding everybody

324
00:25:37,620 --> 00:25:38,900
residents of businesses.

325
00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:45,000
We're going to be a reminder in the newsletter and a mailer all residents of businesses are

326
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:51,700
preparing that parking enforcement would be beginning on all streets at

327
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:54,610
that time of

328
00:25:54,610 --> 00:25:56,090
people I think.

329
00:25:56,290 --> 00:26:03,710
But we decided to wait on that because of the staffing changes downstairs and we are revisiting

330
00:26:03,710 --> 00:26:10,170
that, I would like to bring that back to our attention and move to make adjustments in

331
00:26:10,170 --> 00:26:14,570
forming that every home of business in town, that parking enforcement throughout town

332
00:26:14,570 --> 00:26:15,090
will commence.

333
00:26:15,090 --> 00:26:16,930
I'm August 15, 2026.

334
00:26:17,730 --> 00:26:21,290
He made the next 10 newsletters and the mailers at the same time.

335
00:26:23,030 --> 00:26:23,330
I'll ask.

336
00:26:23,870 --> 00:26:24,150
Second.

337
00:26:24,690 --> 00:26:25,030
Okay.

338
00:26:25,130 --> 00:26:26,410
Any further discussion on that?

339
00:26:27,550 --> 00:26:28,130
All in favor?

340
00:26:28,370 --> 00:26:29,130
By the way.

341
00:26:29,370 --> 00:26:31,330
It's a really good idea that we do this.

342
00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:31,990
It's important.

343
00:26:31,990 --> 00:26:36,750
and why we're dealing with, we have, normally we've done it much earlier in the year, but

344
00:26:36,750 --> 00:26:38,990
just, just jumping on, good.

345
00:26:39,770 --> 00:26:40,090
Okay.

346
00:26:40,570 --> 00:26:41,110
All in favor?

347
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:43,580
Nameless.

348
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:51,080
And discussion and action regarding completing the installation of signs and intersections

349
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,060
of paper strips.

350
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,180
Yes, do you want to?

351
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,060
Sure, it's kind of.

352
00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:59,080
So, we bring this through budget planetary today.

353
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,120
It was essentially an exact also I'm going to get that

354
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:07,340
planning and wanting to complete the project and install

355
00:27:07,340 --> 00:27:11,660
posts and signs and intersections with all the paper

356
00:27:11,660 --> 00:27:14,120
streets and forming people with business public property.

357
00:27:14,660 --> 00:27:17,440
We have unknown number of signs and unknown number of

358
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,120
posts and unknown number of hardware,

359
00:27:19,540 --> 00:27:22,620
amount of hardware, and there are some unknown

360
00:27:22,620 --> 00:27:30,640
with the amount of labor involved in all that but this would, this motion here would provide

361
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:37,900
up to $500 to make that happen and we would be communicating with Larry and Mayor and

362
00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:46,800
Kevin Hamilton and Plenty to make it all goes. And so I move that the Paper Street sign project

363
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,960
have to be completed by posting signs at the end of all paper streets for the

364
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,400
intersection of other town streets.

365
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:54,140
Second.

366
00:27:54,660 --> 00:27:56,260
Mayor, offer an amended.

367
00:27:56,820 --> 00:27:56,940
Yes.

368
00:27:57,620 --> 00:28:03,120
That the mayor work with the maintenance department to develop the inventory of paper street signage

369
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:03,620
inventories.

370
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,220
Approved of them.

371
00:28:05,820 --> 00:28:06,300
In the second.

372
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:06,700
Also.

373
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,120
Okay.

374
00:28:08,060 --> 00:28:08,720
All right.

375
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,580
Any further discussion?

376
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,160
All in favor?

377
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,160
That's unanimous.

378
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,300
And that is the end of our agenda.

379
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,780
Is there a motion to adjourn?

380
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:21,400
Can we join you?

381
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:22,720
Oh, I see.

382
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:24,780
Oh, sorry.

383
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,120
It's weird.

384
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:29,240
It's weird.

385
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,760
Oh, sir, here's the second.

386
00:28:34,140 --> 00:28:35,100
I think it's correct.

387
00:28:35,660 --> 00:28:36,160
I moved.

388
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,240
There was no second.

389
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,360
It's me.

390
00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:40,940
It's me.

391
00:28:41,260 --> 00:28:41,560
It's a person.

392
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,620
I finally got anyone.

393
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,200
Okay, all in favor.

394
00:28:45,780 --> 00:28:50,680
And we are adjourned at 754.

395
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:51,680
That's a bracket.
