3
00:00:52,610 --> 00:00:58,890
We ask a blessing upon our firefighters at this time throughout the state that they'll watch over them.

4
00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:05,170
And we will receive the moisture necessary to squash out these fires and to provide us

5
00:01:05,170 --> 00:01:08,070
with the badly needed water that we need.

6
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:11,410

Okay number three. Okay, so we have T-C West.

39
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,320
I'm Philip Kempel. I formerly worked

40
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:32,300
at T-C West for the last 20 years. The previous owner passed away and that

41
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:37,500
company was essentially dissolved. The original founder of the company asked me if I

42
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:42,100
would take it over and we started to keep going. So that's what I'm here for. The

43
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:47,120
business license is the last thing that I need to have everything we will have

44
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,880
although I will see state licenses that are webbing. And as I look around this

45
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,380
room, including back here, the half of you are wearing things that were done by

46
00:04:58,380 --> 00:04:58,820
my name.

47
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,000
Okay,

48
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:06,120
any questions for Mr. Campbell?

49
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:11,820
Chair,

50
00:05:11,820 --> 00:05:17,720
I have a motion by Tom. Second. Second by Lisa, all in favor? Yes. Yes. Okay, motion passes. Thank you.

00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:18,140
Thank you. You bet.

52
00:05:20,770 --> 00:05:25,690
This one is solarized to Utah 9 LLC. This is what?

53
00:05:26,190 --> 00:05:27,130
Formally hard.

54
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:30,070
And the...

55
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:31,510
Surrounder job.

56
00:05:32,210 --> 00:05:32,350
Yeah.

57
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,940
Hi, I'm Josh.

58
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:46,340
So, we were having problems with thinking that the ground itself was sold.

59
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:53,780
The ground for hearts wasn't sold it was just loaned out the the store itself was

60
00:05:53,780 --> 00:05:59,400
loaned out so it's still under the same parent company though we still

61
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,600
haven't been approved for our health inspection okay

62
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:39,820
I'm going to make the motion that we accept the business license for sole rise have a motion by Gloria

63
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:43,300
Yeah, seconded. Seconded by Tom on February. Yes.

64
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,520
Okay, more for the passenger.

65
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:52,440
Last one is Comfort Beauty Academy. This is not a technically

66
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,240
new license, but it does have to be separate because it created a new entity number. She's

67
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:04,040
just adding an academy to the salon business. But it has to be separate because the state

68
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:10,200
does. Just a little history. Christy is putting in a new building down there and it will have

69
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,180
a beauty school in it is why she's going to have to have this other license in it.

70
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,500
So this was already approved through email for this bringing the air to my first adventure

71
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:19,980
and stuff.

72
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,220
Yep.

73
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,300
Any questions on that one?

74
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:23,780
No.

75
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,580
Okay.

76
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:25,920
Trilling to entertain a motion.

77
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,160
I like the motion.

78
00:07:28,420 --> 00:07:29,320
I have a motion by Tom.

79
00:07:30,220 --> 00:07:30,560
Second.

80
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,780
Second by Judd.

81
00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:32,140
All in favor?

82
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:32,760
Yes.

83
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:33,600
Okay.

84
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:34,280
Motion passes.

85
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:34,640
Any.

86
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:36,920
All right.

87
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:44,480
that's business licenses have this time we'll move on to suicide prevention

88
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,430
month I know somebody's here for that to do that.

89
00:07:52,590 --> 00:07:57,750
I'm going to say hello to my favorite city council. Good evening I'm Amanda

90
00:07:57,750 --> 00:08:00,730
Macintosh I'm the suicide prevention liaison with four corners community

91
00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:04,310
behavioral health I also serve on the board for the American Foundation for

92
00:08:04,310 --> 00:08:09,870
suicide prevention Utah chapter and I'm a sitting member on the Utah suicide

93
00:08:09,870 --> 00:08:14,290
prevention coalition committee under the department of humanities and human services.

94
00:08:14,590 --> 00:08:20,610
That's a magical plan. So I come over to you tonight to request that you proclaim September

95
00:08:20,610 --> 00:08:27,250
of 2026 suicide prevention and awareness month. I can't remember if we read it last year or not.

96
00:08:27,490 --> 00:08:33,810
So I will leave that under your discernment. But it's important to bring this proclamation to

97
00:08:33,810 --> 00:08:39,310
the city of Huntington so that people in our community who have lost somebody to suicide who are

98
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:43,610
currently struggling with the mental health crisis or who have survived the mental health crisis

99
00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:50,130
knows that we have a community within a community to help navigate the grief and the shame and the

100
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:55,870
guilt that comes with those types of mental health problems in our rural areas. It is still so

101
00:08:55,870 --> 00:09:00,950
stigmatized to talk about our mental health and you will know as well as I do that our mental health

102
00:09:00,950 --> 00:09:05,510
is just as important if not more important than our physical health and that they go hand in hand.

103
00:09:05,510 --> 00:09:09,150
when you don't feel good physically, you don't feel good mentally, when you don't feel

104
00:09:09,150 --> 00:09:15,530
good mentally, you don't feel good physically. And so with this small token of acknowledgement

105
00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:21,370
for suicide prevention and awareness month, you are sending the message to the City of Huntington

106
00:09:21,370 --> 00:09:27,090
that you support mental health services, you support the resources that are here and encourage

107
00:09:27,090 --> 00:09:34,530
the usage of those. And we are not in short supply. Unfortunately, people are just unaware of

108
00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:36,910
the resources that we do have at our fingertips

109
00:09:37,570 --> 00:09:39,090
until we're in the middle of a crisis.

110
00:09:39,850 --> 00:09:42,150
And so this proclamation talks about some of the resources

111
00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:44,950
that are here locally, statewide, animation-wide,

112
00:09:45,530 --> 00:09:49,750
and just calls the attention to how important suicide

113
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:52,730
prevention is and what part we can play

114
00:09:52,730 --> 00:09:54,550
in preventing the next tragedy.

115
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:58,870
Are you good, Raider?

116
00:09:58,970 --> 00:10:01,650
I'll read it if you, it's long.

117
00:10:01,990 --> 00:10:04,210
I mean, you know me, like words are my life.

118
00:10:04,210 --> 00:10:12,670
So, a proclamation by the Mayor and City Council of Huntington City, Utah proclaiming September

119
00:10:12,670 --> 00:10:18,110
2026 to be suicide prevention and awareness month. Whereas the state of Utah has consistently

120
00:10:18,110 --> 00:10:24,010
been in the top states for suicide deaths since 2012, currently 11th in the nation versus 2025

121
00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:29,490
reporting of 7th. And whereas carbon and marine grang counties often lead the state of Utah in

122
00:10:29,490 --> 00:10:33,730
suicide deaths per capita and whereas people who lose their loved one to suicide are at

123
00:10:33,730 --> 00:10:38,610
a 30% higher risk of ending their lives by suicide as you learned coping mechanism and

124
00:10:38,610 --> 00:10:43,350
learned behavior and whereas the risk of suicide can be reduced through awareness, proper

125
00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:49,450
evidence-based training including safe messaging, educational resources and treatment and whereas

126
00:10:49,450 --> 00:10:54,290
according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Statistics, suicide is the first

127
00:10:54,290 --> 00:11:22,110
leading cause of death amongst Utahans ages 15 to 24, 2nd and 25, the 2nd leading cause of death amongst ages 25 to 34, no change, 2nd for ages 35 to 44, no change, 4th for ages 45 to 54, no change, 6th for ages 55 to 64, which has the highest rate of suicide, 4th and 20 to 25, and 17th for ages 65 and older, 18th and 20 to 25.

128
00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:25,930
And whereas suicide has a ripple effect and affects everyone,

129
00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:27,750
suicide is everyone's business.

130
00:11:28,190 --> 00:11:31,350
Talking about suicide does not plant the idea of self-harm,

131
00:11:31,770 --> 00:11:35,350
and suicide is one of the most preventable deaths that can be eradicated

132
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:39,410
by one, learning the warning signs of depression and suicidal ideation,

133
00:11:39,890 --> 00:11:43,490
two, knowing how and when to ask about one suicidal thoughts.

134
00:11:43,970 --> 00:11:47,630
Three, being aware of life-saving measures such as safe storage of fire,

135
00:11:47,630 --> 00:11:53,330
arms and medications and for familiarizing ourselves with the resources available locally

136
00:11:53,330 --> 00:11:58,170
such as for corners community behavioral health statewide such as live on Utah and nationwide

137
00:11:58,170 --> 00:12:04,010
such as calling or texting 90 day the suicide and crisis lifeline. Now therefore,

138
00:12:04,670 --> 00:12:11,870
Huntington Mayor Leonard Norton on this 19th day of August 2026 proclaim September 2026 to be

139
00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:16,570
suicide prevention and awareness month in the city of Huntington and encourage all residents of

140
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:21,370
Connington City to recognize how serious suicide is and the steps each of us can take to

141
00:12:21,370 --> 00:12:26,430
protect those around us from this preventable tragedy, one with devastating generational

142
00:12:26,430 --> 00:12:28,330
and community-wide effects.

143
00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:31,630
Okay.

144
00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:39,450
The only other thing that I will offer to the council this evening before you take a motion

145
00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:45,210
on it is that we do have a number of activities coming up in our communities over the next few

146
00:12:45,210 --> 00:12:50,670
weeks. Tomorrow, the Carbon County Business Chamber is hosting a luncheon at the

147
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:56,210
Carbon Country Club and I will be doing a condensed evidence-based suicide

148
00:12:56,210 --> 00:13:00,030
prevention training called Talk Saves Lives. You've attended one of my

149
00:13:00,030 --> 00:13:05,810
trainings in the past, QPR, that has they have changed it so it's a much longer

150
00:13:05,810 --> 00:13:10,650
training and this one is more condensed but just as important and that again

151
00:13:10,650 --> 00:13:13,430
and you can reach out to the carbon country,

152
00:13:13,730 --> 00:13:16,910
carbon, county, business chain,

153
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:18,650
I can't remember the name off the top of my head, sorry.

154
00:13:19,330 --> 00:13:20,210
So that's tomorrow.

155
00:13:20,630 --> 00:13:26,610
And then we recognize, national, no, excuse me, worldwide.

156
00:13:28,070 --> 00:13:28,470
Into,

157
00:13:30,990 --> 00:13:32,250
I'm usually much more articulate

158
00:13:32,250 --> 00:13:33,390
than this, it's been a long day.

159
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:38,150
National World Suicide Prevention Day,

160
00:13:38,350 --> 00:13:39,350
I know it was gonna get there.

161
00:13:39,450 --> 00:13:40,550
Perry, Madam Paws, it's a thing.

162
00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:41,450
you guys are so lucky.

163
00:13:42,510 --> 00:13:43,110
Thank you.

164
00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:43,830
Oh, boy.

165
00:13:44,430 --> 00:13:47,530
That is every year on September 10th.

166
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:52,250
So this year we are proud to host a candlelight vigil in all three of our communities.

167
00:13:52,810 --> 00:13:58,150
In Huntington, thanks to your guys's city park, you will be hosting it at Huntington City Park.

168
00:13:58,810 --> 00:14:02,190
Nikki already will be the host of that one.

169
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,210
And it starts at 7 o'clock.

170
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:09,470
We pass out battery-operated candles and allow a space for our community who has lost

171
00:14:09,470 --> 00:14:14,250
possibly to suicide to come and talk about their person and how they lived and the impact

172
00:14:14,250 --> 00:14:15,950
that they made on the lives around them.

173
00:14:16,370 --> 00:14:21,770
So oftentimes we are almost hushed through the shame and the guilt about talking about

174
00:14:21,770 --> 00:14:22,510
our loved ones.

175
00:14:23,090 --> 00:14:25,890
And so this is an opportunity to really talk about how they live.

176
00:14:26,070 --> 00:14:30,450
And even though they are not here walking beside us every day, their light still shines on

177
00:14:30,450 --> 00:14:33,470
and we commemorate that by inviting a candle at 8 o'clock PM.

178
00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:39,130
That in every time zone, respectively at 8 o'clock PM on World Suicide Prevention Day, we

179
00:14:39,130 --> 00:14:44,210
light a candle. And then we are hosting our 13th Annual Hope Walk that is taking place

180
00:14:44,210 --> 00:14:48,550
on Saturday, September 12th. And that will be at the Price Peace Gardens beginning at

181
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:54,090
9 o'clock, both of these preceding, both of these events are free to the community. And

182
00:14:54,090 --> 00:14:59,610
again, it's just an opportunity for the community to rally and support one another and listen

183
00:14:59,610 --> 00:14:59,970
into it.

184
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
Inspirational messages of hope and know that they're not alone, that they are loved and we are so, so glad that they are still here with us. Now I'm done. Okay. Any question. I did post these on our Huntington Happening's page. Thank you. So appreciate that. Thank you. Okay. This time we're looking for a motion on declaring September 2026 as suicide prevention month. All in favor? Yes. You want the motion? Oh, I'm looking for a motion.

185
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:34,000
I'm sorry. He wanted to buy. He wants the right now. Yeah, he's

186
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,900
impressive. All right. I'll make the motion week set this

187
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:40,460
proclamation. Have a motion by Judd. Second. Second by glory

188
00:15:40,460 --> 00:15:44,220
all in favor? Yes. Okay. Motion passes. Thank you. You're welcome.

189
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,540
All right. This time, like turn some time over to Sheriff

190
00:15:47,540 --> 00:15:50,100
Huntington, update on our fire conditions.

191
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,600
Don't encourage her.

192
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,540
Okay Mayor Norton City Council thank you for granting me a little time to spend

193
00:16:21,540 --> 00:16:22,160
with you tonight.

194
00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:28,000
I'm not quite the butt kisser Amanda is, but I'm sorry you're gone.

195
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:31,300
Yeah, obviously you're her favorite.

196
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:35,260
You're my top peak.

197
00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:39,440
I just want to make that.

198
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,640
I also have pretty many thoughts.

199
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:49,460
as you all know we've been dealing with the fire here in the county and it's easy for

200
00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:54,760
me to stand up here and talk about how great my staff has been through this whole scenario

201
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:01,620
but one thing I've learned as sheriff is it's great for other people to tell me how great

202
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:10,320
my staff is so turn the tables so today I'm here to do that with the Huntington City Council

203
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,160
You put people in positions because you want them to do the job and you think they're

204
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,100
the people for the job and then you're kind of scared because you're just hoping that

205
00:17:21,100 --> 00:17:21,840
it works out.

206
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,080
Well, I just want to tell you the day that it has and then talk to you a little bit about

207
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,260
it.

208
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,800
What I'm going to talk about real quick, this fire is not the fire that we're dealing with

209
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,800
on Black Canyon.

210
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,240
It's a little different one.

211
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:39,680
Friday afternoon, this last Friday afternoon about one-ish, there was a lightning strike

212
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:47,740
up Huntington Canyon near a little bit of campground and it started to fire. I was home in Cleveland

213
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:56,060
going through emails when the call came out. I stood up, walked through my truck,

214
00:17:57,060 --> 00:18:03,000
told Emily goodbye and drove to the fire. So from the time it took for me to get from Cleveland to

215
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:11,340
the 10 and 31 junction. That fire truck was in front of me. So I wasn't, I wasn't flying,

216
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:19,140
but I wasn't doing Mayor Norton's feet. So I was probably 75 or so. But these guys,

217
00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:23,840
I don't know where they were. Apparently, they were at the station or somewhere because

218
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:31,620
they were quickly, quickly to respond. I was able to pass them, just pass the JN Auto and

219
00:18:31,620 --> 00:18:35,440
And I think the only reason I was is because they were driving safe with a ton more weight

220
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,420
than I was, but we got out there.

221
00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:43,740
So we get out there, I pull down off the off of 31 in park, and this fella comes in

222
00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:48,160
right behind me, and the people that are there working are the ones that called it in.

223
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,360
And then you've got some firefighters there, didn't things ready.

224
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:55,140
This is our first thing.

225
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,460
So that young fella there, what's his name?

226
00:18:58,460 --> 00:19:07,980
Ty can't weigh 60 pounds soaking wet and he is on the end of that hose and he's waiting

227
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:12,440
for water from that truck in the previous picture and I'm standing behind him and the

228
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,960
whole time I'm waiting for water myself but in my mind remember those like looney tunes

229
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:22,560
and that big thing of water came and the little skinny guys on the hose is doing this like

230
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,720
That's what I was waiting for, because he's just a skinny guy.

231
00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:30,080
Well, water came, and they started working on it.

232
00:19:30,380 --> 00:19:32,260
So he's there at high, he's there at the plane

233
00:19:32,860 --> 00:19:34,140
in that fire.

234
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:35,800
Some more people showed up.

235
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:41,600
And there's a lot more to wildland fire

236
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,240
than just putting water on the flames.

237
00:19:45,420 --> 00:19:47,260
It climbed up that tree.

238
00:19:47,740 --> 00:19:49,680
It was spread around in the ground cover,

239
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,560
just forward of those guys the ground cover was like two feet thick like if you

240
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,820
stood on it and it and it supported you weight that'd be one thing but if I stood

241
00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:09,140
on it I went past my knee just through brush and leaves and whatever else

242
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:14,900
there and all that was on fire so they stayed there to do that and it's been a lot

243
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:20,160
time. It kind of shows a little bit going up the tree there. Then in these

244
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,640
pictures these guys are literally in the smoke with hand tools trying to get

245
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,760
through that brush so the water can get through there. Structure fire and

246
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,600
wild land fire completely different. That water, I think that's water is there to

247
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,240
help but the real tools is the hard work and the hand tools of those guys put in

248
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,820
and deal with. They're literally eating the smoke. There's always some

249
00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:48,820
animosity between cocks and firefighters. The smoke eater is like a really great

250
00:20:48,820 --> 00:20:54,920
afternoon or a smart word when I'm trying to think of that we call them. But in

251
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,740
this case, it's real. They were there rubbing that stuff out of there. Just kind

252
00:20:59,740 --> 00:21:04,300
of a neat picture of your fire engine there with the stormy background. But this

253
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:08,420
is my favorite picture. So the picture on the left is the start of this fire.

254
00:21:08,420 --> 00:21:14,420
picture on the right is the end of this fire. Every firefighter signs up because

255
00:21:14,420 --> 00:21:18,180
they want to do the picture on the left. They want to be out there with the water

256
00:21:18,180 --> 00:21:22,680
and the smoke and the fire and taking care of business. Picture on the right

257
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:32,780
nobody wants to pay for it. But your chief who probably is the most trained is doing

258
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:42,040
It's important for guys to see their leader doing the job that we want.

259
00:21:42,660 --> 00:21:48,580
It's important for guys to see their leader sleep on the floor during the missions that kind of thing.

260
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,100
So any of those guys would have done it.

261
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,460
She could have said, hey, Ty, you don't know where you're going to get this information out.

262
00:21:56,540 --> 00:21:59,000
You work out, but she did it.

263
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:06,300
So, I just want to let you know, a grateful I am, to have a fire department in our county

264
00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:13,980
that I, that I can depend on as a non-fire fighter, but I still get rough looking at this stuff.

265
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,980
It came out, we took care of business, that fire was out really quick,

266
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:22,860
and the location it was in could have caused a lot of problem.

267
00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:29,700
And there was county property there, there was private property there, this was on and it did a tough job.

268
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,780
It got right into it.

269
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:40,660
The chief is actually getting a state truck using their equipment to get that out with state liaison just right next to me, right there with them.

270
00:22:41,180 --> 00:22:46,300
So wonderful relationship with the state, wonderful relationship with County Sheriff.

271
00:22:47,980 --> 00:22:53,920
And it's nice to just see him get out and I'm excused by language, but I feel like there's

272
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,580
a lot of us.

273
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,540
And it was great to see that.

274
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,540
I don't want to take anything to say for providing their firefighters with the things

275
00:23:01,540 --> 00:23:03,400
that they need and helping them be prepared.

276
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,240
I also want to say thanks for your involvement in our LAPC.

277
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:08,660
Tom's at every meeting.

278
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,720
I think it's for lunch, but I think he also can write it for lunch.

279
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:17,080
But it's just grateful to have you guys here.

280
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,040
You're our biggest city, you have the most citizens.

281
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,640
It's always hard to police people what we do our best.

282
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,000
We appreciate your support, and we've

283
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:26,960
gotten it from all of you.

284
00:23:27,420 --> 00:23:31,640
So just know this from me, how grateful I am for your

285
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,820
department and your relationship that I have personally

286
00:23:34,820 --> 00:23:37,300
with the city and also about department.

287
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,160
So thank you.

288
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:41,300
Thank you, Sheriff.

289
00:23:41,860 --> 00:23:43,920
We appreciate the support you guys do.

290
00:23:46,980 --> 00:23:50,280
We also like to thank our Fire Department for everything they've done.

291
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:53,500
They do for us and help out on the county level also.

292
00:23:55,260 --> 00:24:00,340
Alright, at this time we are looking for a motion on orbit in zero-20.

293
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:05,580
Oh, oh, dash 2026-8.

294
00:24:06,220 --> 00:24:09,280
Outside bond boundary water, culinary water connections.

295
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:14,880
all this is is we're changing it from water rights to water shares it's just

296
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:23,640
language change is all this ordinance is any questions on that I guess back

297
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,040
in the day they used to call them water rights and we've been told no

298
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:34,260
their water shares now I'll make a motion we accept changes to ordinance O 20

299
00:24:34,260 --> 00:24:47,660
2026-8. I am a motion by Judd. Second by Tom. Gloria. Yes. Yes, then. Yes, Lisa. Yes, okay. Motion passes.

300
00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:57,880
At this time we put a new, we're going to put a new alternate planning and zoning

301
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:08,420
person on. We had one application come in. It was for Theron Chatley. Put an

302
00:25:08,420 --> 00:25:13,660
application in. We looked at it, talked to him, asked him. He wants to be part of

303
00:25:13,660 --> 00:25:19,580
it. So we are going to put him on to fill the alternate positions on finding

304
00:25:19,580 --> 00:25:22,660
him zoning. Any questions on that?

305
00:25:25,060 --> 00:25:27,880
We're looking for a motion on that. To put

306
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,220
tonn for their non-planning zoning?

307
00:25:30,420 --> 00:25:35,320
I make the most of them that we put very gently on planning and zoning as an alternative.

308
00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:40,060
I am motion by Alisa. Second. Second, my glory on favor? Yes.

309
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,400
Okay, our next one is our concrete bids for the cemetery.

310
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:50,720
We had two bids come in.

311
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:57,460
One was from the Behantson construction and one was from a Vietit, Hector of Yis.

312
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:07,800
They're two different. They're the the bid is broke up in two different sections depending on

313
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,940
finances and you hate to tell glory this, but show me has about 50,000 dollars

314
00:26:16,060 --> 00:26:18,700
You might have to trim a little more off of it this year

315
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:24,030
We have 75 already looked into this

316
00:26:25,730 --> 00:26:27,430
When did you change it?

317
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:31,430
That's what was given to me when we did the budget

318
00:26:32,130 --> 00:26:34,590
Well, we only have 50,000 because we're taking some from

319
00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:43,970
We have two beds one is D Hansen which is microly construction one is Hector V this microlyze is for 70,000

320
00:26:46,090 --> 00:26:47,050
8190 and

321
00:26:47,050 --> 00:26:51,150
If you this construction is 74,400 the

322
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,200
project just won't want to be done by the end of October and

323
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,020
I do not know

324
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,700
What their schedules are if they will be able to fulfill that or not

325
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:12,600
Nobody can give me a good answer so have you list told me he could okay and I

326
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:23,690
think did you call Riley you will they both said they could okay well I'd like

327
00:27:23,690 --> 00:27:30,150
make a motion we accept that there's bed where he's a local we keep the

328
00:27:30,150 --> 00:27:38,620
business in our city. I have a motion by Tom. Second. Second by Lisa.

329
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:49,980
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. I guess we will ward the bid to Hector Vita for

330
00:27:49,980 --> 00:27:57,680
in the amount of $74,400. It was in but it's in within our purchasing agreement that it's

331
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:05,980
within 7% that we can go with a little higher bid as long as they're in in the city.

332
00:28:06,460 --> 00:28:13,060
You can look at taking them so there you go, we let Hector know because

333
00:28:15,870 --> 00:28:16,270
you're right

334
00:28:16,270 --> 00:28:17,310
there and she's over there.

335
00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:20,570
One of you too we let Hector know, okay.

336
00:28:22,410 --> 00:28:29,630
Next on our list is the tunnel at the Williams Park, we brought to our attention that the

337
00:28:29,630 --> 00:28:36,130
Tunnel was broken. We reached out to the playground manufacturer and they do have it.

338
00:28:36,570 --> 00:28:39,690
They did find us a tunnel. Didn't they not? Yeah.

339
00:28:40,510 --> 00:28:43,890
Well, it was a 15. Go ahead, Jeff.

340
00:28:44,130 --> 00:28:50,350
1,552 dollars and 70 cents. It included all of the flanges and the bolts and everything.

341
00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:55,210
Because we have no idea if we can get these bolts off the original.

342
00:28:56,270 --> 00:29:03,410
But so it was everything and when I called them like they had to do a bunch of work on

343
00:29:03,410 --> 00:29:09,690
We had to try to estimate when the project was and they tried to find the exact project so we could match it all up

344
00:29:10,270 --> 00:29:13,270
And they were able to find it with photographs, so

345
00:29:14,370 --> 00:29:14,850
anyway

346
00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:23,130
We've already submitted to get it coming because this is a safety hazard bark our citizens

347
00:29:23,130 --> 00:29:29,450
And so it's under the number that we need to have council approval.

348
00:29:29,450 --> 00:29:31,470
So we went ahead and got it ordered.

349
00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:40,570
I just want to bring it before the city council as well again.

350
00:29:42,390 --> 00:29:47,710
Okay, next one on a missed is a march just a mower for the tractor.

351
00:29:48,710 --> 00:29:51,350
Our old mower that goes on the back of the tractor

352
00:29:51,350 --> 00:29:58,650
was basically falling apart, hard to get some parts for it, and we priced what parts

353
00:29:58,650 --> 00:29:59,970
to what we'd have to do to get the...

354
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,960
Parts and fix it, compared to a new one. A new one came to about 21, 120, 21, 49. 21, 49. We went ahead and ordered that and got it coming. They went and picked it up. So we do now. Now I have a new more for the tractor. It's still within their purchase agreement. What we need to have approval. So we didn't need to have approval on that one. We just have to get it ordered.

355
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:35,520
So we do have a new tractor more so we can get some weeds cut down.

356
00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:39,750
Alright, our next one is our pickable quartz.

357
00:30:40,450 --> 00:30:42,530
I'll turn the time over to Joe down that one.

358
00:30:42,610 --> 00:30:45,710
He's been a spearhead in this one for our park.

359
00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:54,090
Okay, so this is what we've been trying to make happen is install two new pickable.

360
00:30:55,830 --> 00:31:03,710
they join each other at Lions Park. If you go to the end of the parking lot, there's just a pilot dirt there.

361
00:31:04,370 --> 00:31:10,650
And so this would take up that dirt area and clean that up and it would kind of finish our whole park.

362
00:31:12,830 --> 00:31:19,070
Um, uh, a side note, though, that the basketball court that's there is all busted up, that the tracks have lifted.

363
00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:22,610
Really not that safe for anybody who play on it.

364
00:31:24,490 --> 00:31:35,790
And so I, what I did is when I asked for bids for the pickable court, I asked them to also throw in what it would look like for them to, uh, upgrade that basketball court as well.

365
00:31:35,790 --> 00:31:38,030
Well, there's a lot of numbers here.

366
00:31:38,790 --> 00:31:44,490
What I got back was three professional pickable court companies, premium surface solutions

367
00:31:44,490 --> 00:31:50,230
the first one, first column on the left, precision pro courts and grit courts.

368
00:31:50,990 --> 00:31:54,130
Premium surface solution actually sent some guys out.

369
00:31:54,250 --> 00:32:00,850
They met with me just to see if this was the best place to do the court and make sure that

370
00:32:00,850 --> 00:32:02,650
everything looked good on their end.

371
00:32:02,650 --> 00:32:13,130
And they from what I can tell, they're a higher end company, they're warranties exceed

372
00:32:13,130 --> 00:32:14,750
the other warranties of the other places.

373
00:32:15,670 --> 00:32:17,990
So their numbers are a little bit higher.

374
00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:24,810
Great courts really came in with the best numbers, that's the third column.

375
00:32:26,470 --> 00:32:34,890
So I asked Lossavila to throw a number in there since we needed something local to see what it looked like to have them do it.

376
00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:46,650
He could not do a post-tension slab. So the top number is what it would cost to do the concrete for the post-tension slab for just the 60 by 60 pickable cord.

377
00:32:48,170 --> 00:32:58,760
but he could give us a price for a rebar 60 by 60 slab and you can see he's right

378
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:05,780
there that we've got precision pro courts was 1200 less and grit courts was

379
00:33:05,780 --> 00:33:09,740
1,000 less actually 2,200 less for that.

380
00:33:12,530 --> 00:33:18,650
What you think you got to realize is if you look at him, well, to be this doesn't

381
00:33:18,650 --> 00:33:22,910
They have all the netting, servicing, fencing around it,

382
00:33:22,910 --> 00:33:23,650
where the others do.

383
00:33:24,690 --> 00:33:25,810
You got it in the consideration.

384
00:33:26,130 --> 00:33:28,730
He didn't even want to try to get a bid for the servicing.

385
00:33:30,550 --> 00:33:34,590
Because what these other companies offer is they come in

386
00:33:34,590 --> 00:33:36,370
and they actually prep the concrete.

387
00:33:36,830 --> 00:33:42,930
They etch it with acid so that this particular paint will

388
00:33:43,510 --> 00:33:44,430
adhere to it better.

389
00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:47,690
They also guarantee that the runoff,

390
00:33:47,690 --> 00:33:53,030
if you will not have any puddling, which will maintain a better court and it will keep

391
00:33:53,030 --> 00:33:54,470
the pain on there for a lot longer.

392
00:33:55,870 --> 00:34:04,310
The reason that people do the post tension is you can, as the concrete cures, they'll

393
00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:07,870
compress the concrete, so it's just a floating slab that will never crack.

394
00:34:08,330 --> 00:34:13,670
It does still get small little cracks, but it will not lift or move away from the cracks,

395
00:34:13,670 --> 00:34:21,630
where as rebar you have to cut you know every eight by eight square you've got to cut a joint

396
00:34:21,630 --> 00:34:27,530
where it will crack and then you get cracking so and if you go over to Orangeville they just

397
00:34:27,530 --> 00:34:32,670
put eight pickable courts in you can already start to see where the the crackings happening from where

398
00:34:32,670 --> 00:34:39,630
they filled the cracks with some epoxy to make it flat but you can still see those cracks coming

399
00:34:39,630 --> 00:34:48,030
through. Anyway, it's a lot more expensive to go the post-tension, but we can't. I mean

400
00:34:48,030 --> 00:34:54,030
for us to really afford to do this project, the numbers are coming out that we probably

401
00:34:54,030 --> 00:34:55,550
couldn't go that route.

402
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,900
So, if you look down Pickleball post-tension

403
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:09,440
total, just for the Pickleball courts, the two pickball courts, the first number was 120,000.

404
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:18,300
The next number is 110,000, and then the next number is 96,5 from Grit Courts.

405
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:19,900
That's with post-tension.

406
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:29,660
If we did not post-tension and just did the rebar, the first company premium is right there at 96,5.

407
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:36,800
Precision Pro Courts is 85, and Grit Courts is there at 78,5.

408
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,920
That

409
00:35:40,290 --> 00:35:53,130
includes the pickwall courts, this flatwork around them to clean up all the way to the asphalt and clean up everything so there's walk, walk around surface around the pickwall courts.

410
00:35:53,530 --> 00:36:00,550
The surfacing took two pickball net systems and then the fencing that goes all the way around everything or

411
00:36:02,850 --> 00:36:03,330
those numbers.

412
00:36:03,890 --> 00:36:18,130
everything else underneath that really, so I asked them to throw a price out there for lighting, for light poles, and that's what's underneath those two total numbers, which would probably have to be something,

413
00:36:19,370 --> 00:36:31,410
I don't know, if we're going to go with the project, I'd like to at least do the underground work and get the post, the concrete in for the post, and then maybe later we can afford it.

414
00:36:31,410 --> 00:36:32,190
but

415
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:41,440
the basketball, I don't know, that have to be a whole other project, another year.

416
00:36:45,390 --> 00:36:48,830
Okay, so if you go to the very bottom of the page, you'll slide down a little bit.

417
00:36:49,970 --> 00:36:54,490
I've got three different totals there. The first one's pickable post-tension slab,

418
00:36:55,070 --> 00:37:02,670
surfaced, advanced, nets, basketball rebar slab with flatwork and hoop and hoops.

419
00:37:03,650 --> 00:37:12,680
and those totals are all three of them are right there are above 150,000, well

420
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,960
grids at 146 but okay

421
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,360
so what is your recommendation so

422
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:31,100
last year when we

423
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:36,860
talked about this we agreed to go with a post-tension and the numbers I was

424
00:37:36,860 --> 00:37:43,780
given you last year where 120 I think is 123,000 for the whole project.

425
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:46,720
This year

426
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:51,580
the numbers are less but I don't have the money I

427
00:37:54,750 --> 00:37:55,630
thought I had the money but

428
00:37:55,630 --> 00:37:58,530
I don't have the money. We

429
00:38:03,260 --> 00:38:08,240
had

430
00:38:12,050 --> 00:38:15,490
allocated 40,000 for last year and we had voted

431
00:38:15,490 --> 00:38:21,970
Yes, upon receiving 80,000 worth of grants, I was not able to get the grants.

432
00:38:22,450 --> 00:38:27,250
So we had the 40,000 there that we didn't use for pickwall courts, but we did end up

433
00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:32,930
using that at the rodeo grounds for other stuff, so now for money back.

434
00:38:33,830 --> 00:38:44,570
So now I'm asking Lisa for 40,000 to add to my 75,000, so we put 75,000 on our budget because

435
00:38:44,570 --> 00:38:48,590
with the $40,000 plus the $75,000, we would have been able to do the project.

436
00:38:53,800 --> 00:39:00,260
It's what I had for my budget, and I didn't have it, so I was told I had for my budget.

437
00:39:04,620 --> 00:39:13,140
So we have $75,000, so looking at this, we can do a pick-a-ball rebar court at $78,500.

438
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,940
do we want to do that? Really? Do we want to do that?

439
00:39:23,540 --> 00:39:24,480
After all you're

440
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:29,040
investigating after all you're talking to everybody. Do we really want to do

441
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:34,240
that? Talking to Orangeville's mayor he said if he was going to put any more

442
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:35,840
courts and he'd go post-tension.

443
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,900
He just did post- he helped do post-tension

444
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:41,540
court.

445
00:39:44,940 --> 00:39:49,420
I'm a firm believer you get what you pay for and I think the better

446
00:39:49,420 --> 00:39:52,480
warranty. We go with the post tension.

447
00:39:57,070 --> 00:40:00,370
We're going to do it on doing it to go with the

448
00:40:00,370 --> 00:40:01,950
best. So I

449
00:40:06,140 --> 00:40:07,440
hate to stop. Okay.

450
00:40:10,770 --> 00:40:15,190
Here's an idea if we fix the basketball court with rebar

451
00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:24,430
this year. We're under that 75,000 and then we budget for next year and I get a lot more

452
00:40:24,430 --> 00:40:30,550
help and try to get those grants because what I've been able to bring the table to get grants

453
00:40:30,550 --> 00:40:37,890
I'm not getting they're not coming my way so but we do need to replace that basketball court

454
00:40:37,890 --> 00:40:45,710
and that would be better to get it done anyway we uh can we table this until next month and

455
00:40:45,710 --> 00:40:51,710
yeah a little bit more I would make make a motion that we table it at this time until we can

456
00:40:51,710 --> 00:40:59,070
Let's do a little more investigating and we'll readdress it next month I'll make that motion. Are you okay with that, Joe?

457
00:40:59,830 --> 00:41:04,270
I'm gonna have to tell all all these I mean I'd have to reap it everything after

458
00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:10,450
Well look it went down from the last time you had it rebid so maybe the next time it'll yeah

459
00:41:10,450 --> 00:41:13,450
This is the first time I've asked two of these companies give me a bid

460
00:41:13,450 --> 00:41:18,010
But just at this time for this kind of money. We're gonna have to look into this little sit more serious

461
00:41:24,660 --> 00:41:26,820
I thought Lisa was just going to have me money.

462
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,420
I don't have any money.

463
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,180
We have a motion to table it.

464
00:41:32,740 --> 00:41:34,400
You make the motion?

465
00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:35,140
I have a second.

466
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,100
I have a second by Lisa on paper.

467
00:41:37,580 --> 00:41:37,820
Yes.

468
00:41:38,540 --> 00:41:39,000
Any opposed?

469
00:41:40,020 --> 00:41:41,380
Table table is still next month.

470
00:41:41,460 --> 00:41:42,440
I'm doing some investigating.

471
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:47,600
Next thing on our agenda, the David Siebrings Industrial Subdivision.

472
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,600
Years ago, they made that a subdivision down there.

473
00:41:52,730 --> 00:41:53,170
Do you have that?

474
00:41:54,990 --> 00:42:00,710
He, we had discussion with him because he wants to put a house down there and we talked

475
00:42:00,710 --> 00:42:01,430
to him about it.

476
00:42:01,570 --> 00:42:05,450
Roadway, he's built, done some construction that blocked the roadway.

477
00:42:06,210 --> 00:42:09,410
So at this time he's abandoning the subdivision.

478
00:42:09,550 --> 00:42:13,910
It is no longer a subdivision, it's just an industrial properties.

479
00:42:14,790 --> 00:42:22,530
If he does decide to subdivide it again, you'll have to reapply and draw up a new map to

480
00:42:22,530 --> 00:42:30,590
make a copacetic. So that is no longer a subdivision down there. Okay.

481
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,100
That okay with you, Jessica?

482
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:37,020
Huh? Okay.

483
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:46,230
Our next one is utility deposit account.

484
00:42:46,290 --> 00:42:56,230
Okay, so talking to other treasurers most cities required deposit on their utility accounts.

485
00:42:56,230 --> 00:43:00,170
So when you open a utility account, they require the deposit.

486
00:43:00,790 --> 00:43:02,870
Some of your bigger cities are up to $500.

487
00:43:03,690 --> 00:43:09,830
But they try to say we want at least two, two and a half months worth of money in case

488
00:43:09,830 --> 00:43:10,370
they bill.

489
00:43:12,270 --> 00:43:16,710
So I've been trying to remember to talk to you guys about this.

490
00:43:16,930 --> 00:43:21,030
So this is what I wanted to ask you guys to think about.

491
00:43:21,030 --> 00:43:27,330
if it is something that you want to start doing we come up with a figure and

492
00:43:27,330 --> 00:43:33,770
then anybody who is a new utility customer will have to put a deposit and then

493
00:43:33,770 --> 00:43:39,050
we have to make change our ordinance that says we require a deposit and then do

494
00:43:39,050 --> 00:43:45,330
a resolution for the amount. So just basically whatever you guys are thinking.

495
00:43:45,330 --> 00:43:47,530
Did you say change the ordinance?

496
00:43:49,550 --> 00:43:54,430
Well we just have to add, we have to add that we require security.

497
00:43:55,970 --> 00:43:58,590
And then the deposit is set by resolution.

498
00:43:59,190 --> 00:44:00,090
So that's...

499
00:44:00,090 --> 00:44:01,150
I said that for somebody.

500
00:44:01,150 --> 00:44:01,650
Yeah, I know.

501
00:44:01,950 --> 00:44:02,330
Yeah, I know.

502
00:44:03,330 --> 00:44:03,930
I know.

503
00:44:04,130 --> 00:44:07,670
When I mentioned it, I got this look that laser...

504
00:44:08,190 --> 00:44:12,730
Okay, and that's something we'll take into advisement or consideration and we'll discuss it.

505
00:44:12,730 --> 00:44:17,950
So because it might be a good idea, especially since we're giving a lot of new people in.

506
00:44:20,290 --> 00:44:20,590
Okay.

507
00:44:22,540 --> 00:44:25,640
Alright, at this time, I'll go into my report.

508
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:34,740
Water-wise, so far, we have used, up to this date, we've used 400 acre feet of our secondary water.

509
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,280
We have about 340 acre feet left.

510
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:46,300
If we go by a current usage, that will give us about 100 days of water usage.

511
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,100
I don't say we have that much water up there.

512
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,280
I don't know how much we have.

513
00:44:51,860 --> 00:44:55,540
We don't know what this irrigation company's plan is.

514
00:44:55,660 --> 00:44:57,260
It's how long they're going to let water come down.

515
00:44:58,260 --> 00:44:59,660
But I want to...

516
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:10,080
I thank the citizens of Hemington for conserving, using our water wisely. Some of the cities are

517
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:16,300
going to be shutting their water off within the next week to two weeks. I think we, depending

518
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:21,620
on the irrigation company, we have at least another month, so I commend everybody for

519
00:45:21,620 --> 00:45:28,680
their help and consideration in that taking care of our city this year.

520
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:31,760
Other

521
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,960
net has kind of been slow. I just want to thank Robert and the guys for cleaning

522
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:43,180
up everything, getting everything looking good, getting ready for fall. We do what?

523
00:45:43,180 --> 00:45:43,260
What?

524
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:46,700
I said for Paul.

525
00:45:47,660 --> 00:45:48,140
Paul.

526
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:56,180
Probably within the next month we'll start our cleanup and burn season by the end of

527
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:57,000
the way.

528
00:45:57,940 --> 00:45:58,520
I said timber.

529
00:45:59,540 --> 00:46:06,080
It'll be on the newsletter, but we'll start Paul cleanup, so we'll get ready for that

530
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,520
if you know people that need some help.

531
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,880
We appreciate it to help them out.

532
00:46:10,660 --> 00:46:15,900
Our planning and zoning have been going around trying to get some clean up done.

533
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:20,360
I appreciate her, what she's done, she's put in a lot of time.

534
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:28,300
We are making a little bit of progress, but it's a slow, tedious project, but thank you

535
00:46:28,300 --> 00:46:30,380
Jessica for everything you're doing there.

536
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:35,980
Thank you Council for all the hard work they've done this summer and this year.

537
00:46:36,580 --> 00:46:37,260
Appreciate everything.

538
00:46:37,420 --> 00:46:37,660
They're done.

539
00:46:37,660 --> 00:46:42,640
to my office staff. Brandy, we've got some more ordinances to take care of.

540
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:51,760
Eventually you'll be done, and I'll tell you about it.

541
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:59,080
This is one of them conditioning. This is one of them things that is an ongoing project

542
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:09,440
that changes all the time. Other than school has started today, please. Oh, a couple of things.

543
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:14,700
No, that I think about it. Please be careful of our kids out on school going to

544
00:47:14,700 --> 00:47:21,120
buttoon from school. It's that time of the year. The other thing I have is

545
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,180
motorcycles.

546
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:30,040
We do have rules on riding motorcycles in this city. I've talked to

547
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:37,280
the sheriff and if you ride them respectable and be decent we will maybe work with

548
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,520
but if you're not, we're going to crack down.

549
00:47:41,340 --> 00:47:43,820
Racing, popping wheelies down main street,

550
00:47:44,540 --> 00:47:47,100
revving up your motorcycle, running scopsines

551
00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:49,560
is not running to be respectable.

552
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:55,280
Also, electric motorcycles, they are not

553
00:47:55,970 --> 00:47:57,080
to be on the sidewalk.

554
00:47:57,980 --> 00:48:00,140
The reason I brought this up, I was outside

555
00:48:00,140 --> 00:48:01,780
of my house yesterday doing some work

556
00:48:01,780 --> 00:48:03,460
and all of a sudden I hear this whine

557
00:48:03,460 --> 00:48:05,320
and then it comes in an electric motorcycle.

558
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:10,220
down the sidewalk and about hit me. You want to see a pissed-off mirror? You

559
00:48:10,220 --> 00:48:13,780
would have seen him if I could have chased the kid down I would have but he was

560
00:48:13,780 --> 00:48:18,920
gone before I could look at it. But if I find him things aren't going to be good.

561
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,120
That's you. I tried to get you.

562
00:48:23,380 --> 00:48:27,000
I'm surprised you missed him. Just remember pay

563
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:32,740
back suddenly. So please if you're going to ride your e-bikes your electric

564
00:48:32,740 --> 00:48:36,880
motor cycles and motorcycles do it respectfully, do it the law states and

565
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:41,140
wear helmets because if it keeps up we're gonna crack down and we're gonna

566
00:48:41,140 --> 00:48:45,560
crack down hard and if I have to I'll get a DNR guy and help me

567
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,040
involved.

568
00:48:49,540 --> 00:48:52,320
I'll go over to his head to the top if I have to.

569
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:02,480
I can't help much about that. I've tried on everybody but nobody's taken a little

570
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:03,860
take up on that one, sorry.

571
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,920
That's all I have at this time we'll go to our

572
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:14,300
department reports and we'll start with our fire chief. Before he gets carried away

573
00:49:14,300 --> 00:49:17,840
I want to thank him and his fire department for helping with the black

574
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:23,120
canyon fire. The time they put up there and helping take care of the readers of

575
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,720
David and thank you Chase and relay that message to your guys.

576
00:49:27,220 --> 00:49:34,500
Absolutely, thank you. So, Chase Majors, Huntington City Fire Chief. I want to say thank you to

577
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:39,000
every kind of sheriff's office, Sheriff Huntington for coming in and talking on our behalf. He

578
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,420
lapsed so I had a really good joke lined up about cops and firefighters, but he's not here for

579
00:49:43,420 --> 00:49:48,480
the land, so we'll save that one for next time. I will give a black hand in a big because that's what

580
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:54,220
you guys were expecting, and then I'll go into our part of black hand in as far as Huntington Fire

581
00:49:54,220 --> 00:50:01,280
department. So currently as it stands, the Black Canyon is at 3,263 acres with 51%

582
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:08,100
containment. There's a lot of misconceptions on what containment is and why it

583
00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:11,140
takes along to get it. I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with the Black

584
00:50:11,140 --> 00:50:17,380
Canyon territory, but it is very rough country. When you get containment on the map

585
00:50:17,380 --> 00:50:22,400
and it's sent back to the citizens in the public, that means you actually have

586
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,760
fire barrier all the way around the perimeter of that fire.

587
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,200
We can't put fire barrier or we can't put boots on the ground.

588
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,380
So we can do air attack and knock down the fire, but until we have boots on the ground

589
00:50:33,380 --> 00:50:37,920
or equipment there, you're not going to get that black line on the map that says this has

590
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:38,660
fire containment.

591
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:44,600
So that's why it's taking so long to get these updated numbers, and then it'll sit around

592
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:49,540
that higher percentage of containment before they say 100% contained because fire is in

593
00:50:49,540 --> 00:50:58,080
our control until it's lit. That's the best way to put that. They do have the, I'm would

594
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,980
assume that most people are aware that they have the fire camp moved to the Rec Center

595
00:51:02,980 --> 00:51:09,500
in Casabell. They brought in Nevada type 2 team to take over from the previous initial

596
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:14,140
attack team. They brought in federal resources, a different instant commander, a different

597
00:51:14,140 --> 00:51:19,780
team to be able to move this incident up. Thankfully, it's not showing a lot of

598
00:51:19,780 --> 00:51:23,860
forward progression. We did have an entire structure group in the Reader

599
00:51:23,860 --> 00:51:30,060
Subdivision. We've laid miles of hose and pumpkins and pumps to where if it hits

600
00:51:30,060 --> 00:51:34,520
one of our fail safes that we have set up, we kick on pumps and we go to

601
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,980
structure protection. Actually, I have a picture I was going to send you because I

602
00:51:38,980 --> 00:51:43,520
was straining a hose through your property. They did evacuate the entire Reader

603
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:50,920
subdivision. Firefighters from Emory County, San Pete County and all around the country came in

604
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:55,600
provided structure protection for this area. We currently have some Australian firefighters,

605
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,780
I don't know if you've seen that in the news. There's an Australian hang crew fighting fire with us

606
00:51:59,780 --> 00:52:04,960
up there and they're up on top of Reader Ridge building those hand lines that I was telling

607
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:11,300
you about that need to make the containment. So with that they've allowed people come back

608
00:52:11,300 --> 00:52:17,340
a reader subdivision on a set status so earlier they were on go they had to evacuate but now the

609
00:52:17,340 --> 00:52:23,820
public is allowed to come back in to their properties be in the area with still the understanding

610
00:52:23,820 --> 00:52:28,320
that there's active wildfire several miles away and they need to leave when they're told.

611
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:35,660
The national preparedness level so this is through the US Forest Service,

612
00:52:35,660 --> 00:52:37,000
This is Mantala Sound National Forest.

613
00:52:37,660 --> 00:52:39,680
We're at a PL5, which is the highest.

614
00:52:40,460 --> 00:52:45,280
We have, it's used all of our resources through the nation.

615
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,800
They're fighting fires all over the country, Canada, we've got firefighters in Australia

616
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,380
from America, fighting fires.

617
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,740
We're hard up nationwide.

618
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:55,260
Everything's burning.

619
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,100
So we are at a high, high level of preparedness and awareness.

620
00:52:59,700 --> 00:53:04,120
Anytime we get a fire, we've got to use whatever resources we have.

621
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:11,180
They pulled emery county resources. We had three different engines from emery county. We had a huntington fire department engine

622
00:53:12,660 --> 00:53:17,160
Fair and fire department and cast it on fire department on our structure engines

623
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:24,080
So when you send a structure engine to structure protection you have to have at least three firefighters in that engine and

624
00:53:24,740 --> 00:53:26,840
That engine has to stay there for 14 days

625
00:53:27,860 --> 00:53:31,640
We're asking volunteers to take 14 days and go do this

626
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:37,440
I don't have that kind of time and I don't have that kind of heads up about seven hours

627
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,140
to figure this out to make it work to go up there and do this.

628
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:47,360
So Huntington's Fire Engine had me on it, a firefighter out of Elmo on it and a firefighter

629
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:48,200
out of Emory on it.

630
00:53:48,700 --> 00:53:52,060
The Emory firefighter was able to staff our engine for 14 days straight.

631
00:53:52,900 --> 00:53:57,220
I switched out over a couple of days and one of our other Huntington firefighters filled

632
00:53:57,220 --> 00:54:01,560
in for me, and then ELMO switched out and a Cleveland firefighter

633
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,980
built in for them. We can't switch out the engines, we just have to make the crew

634
00:54:04,980 --> 00:54:09,500
work the engine stays. So with that, they have to be red card certified. That's

635
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:14,020
something the Huntington Fire Department pushes for hard. Our numbers are just

636
00:54:14,020 --> 00:54:19,620
low. We don't have a big pool to draw from to get firefighters red carded. It's

637
00:54:19,620 --> 00:54:24,240
one of our requirements as far as our physical tests to pass the physical part of

638
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:30,800
it, but the certification isn't currently one of our department requirements, it will

639
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:31,280
be shortly.

640
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:40,360
Each firefighter got paid personally from the fire, so we fight fire as volunteers

641
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:45,460
for free. We don't receive anything from insurance companies, we don't have a tax base.

642
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:51,480
We provide our service for free when we go out and provide wild land structure protection

643
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:57,120
or wildland suppression to our MOU with forestry fire and state lands, we do get reimbursed.

644
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,880
So each firefighter got paid based on their qualifications.

645
00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:06,160
Our engine also got paid for the fact that it was fully staffed and it got a day rate.

646
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:11,300
And then we also will receive a mileage reimbursement to help cover with fuel and death.

647
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,340
Any other minor wear and tear, but then the rest of that truck payment will come in to

648
00:55:17,340 --> 00:55:19,900
to pay for supplies for the station,

649
00:55:20,380 --> 00:55:22,280
wildland approved things.

650
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,220
Let's see, I've got notes, I'm trying.

651
00:55:29,730 --> 00:55:33,590
So with us pushing for wildland firefighters,

652
00:55:34,150 --> 00:55:36,510
it gives them the opportunity to receive payment

653
00:55:36,510 --> 00:55:38,030
to be a wildland firefighter,

654
00:55:38,110 --> 00:55:39,330
but then it's also a career path.

655
00:55:39,890 --> 00:55:42,390
I'm currently employed through the state of Utah

656
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,810
and doing volunteer firefighting,

657
00:55:44,830 --> 00:55:47,950
and then I get my chance to go out and make money on it.

658
00:55:47,950 --> 00:55:53,390
there are so many career opportunities that you can go through once you get your

659
00:55:53,390 --> 00:55:56,810
wildland certification through a volunteer department and then you can move

660
00:55:56,810 --> 00:56:00,970
on to these hand crews or structure protection groups and travel around and

661
00:56:00,970 --> 00:56:06,650
fight fire. There's career paths that can be opened up through a volunteer service.

662
00:56:07,210 --> 00:56:11,650
So it's not only just people that are already set in town that want to fight

663
00:56:11,650 --> 00:56:16,190
fire forever, we can bring in the youth to train them up and give them a career

664
00:56:16,190 --> 00:56:23,950
opportunity. So if you know nieces, nephews, sons, daughters, friends, acquaintances, send them down

665
00:56:23,950 --> 00:56:29,770
because it's also a really good career path. We're constantly looking for firefighters to not

666
00:56:29,770 --> 00:56:36,010
only help us locally, but then countywide and statewide and they have an opportunity to move up.

667
00:56:36,290 --> 00:56:41,150
I was actually offered a job on this fire to move up, but I told them that I'm pretty well set

668
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:45,270
where I'm at and I'm going to stay in Huntington. My wife would kill me if I left the state

669
00:56:45,270 --> 00:56:52,890
again for work. Going back to the Black Canyon Fire, if any of you or the public wants

670
00:56:52,890 --> 00:56:59,590
to get more information on the Black Canyon Fire, check the Mantile of South National Forest

671
00:56:59,590 --> 00:57:05,050
Facebook page. They're the ones that they're getting their information from our briefings

672
00:57:05,050 --> 00:57:10,350
in the mornings and then they're putting it out to where you can see the after briefing

673
00:57:10,350 --> 00:57:15,010
that will give you all the information of the fire and any updates as it goes.

674
00:57:15,590 --> 00:57:21,730
Another really good resource is an app called WatchDuty, you can download on your phone

675
00:57:22,130 --> 00:57:26,410
and that is the information from there is supplied from firefighters and organizations

676
00:57:26,410 --> 00:57:28,470
to give you that information.

677
00:57:28,890 --> 00:57:35,550
The fire that was posted with Tyson or Sheriff Huntington is actually posted on the WatchDuty

678
00:57:35,550 --> 00:57:36,910
app as the little bear fire.

679
00:57:36,910 --> 00:57:42,830
single tree lighting strike that we were able to to go out and provide IA which

680
00:57:42,830 --> 00:57:48,530
is initial attack full suppression on it. With me being deployed on this fire

681
00:57:48,530 --> 00:57:53,930
for last 14 days off and on I was able to get ink in my task book so as you

682
00:57:53,930 --> 00:57:59,090
venture further into your wildland career or wildland certifications you have to

683
00:57:59,090 --> 00:58:03,370
be checked off on certain things. The picture that Tyson showed was me giving a

684
00:58:03,370 --> 00:58:08,570
radio report of an initial report of a fire, that's one of the skills you have to pass

685
00:58:08,570 --> 00:58:14,430
off to be able to communicate that to our MOAB interagency fire center to be able to

686
00:58:14,430 --> 00:58:19,970
where I can become an engine boss, and then we can take one of our smaller brush trucks,

687
00:58:20,490 --> 00:58:25,630
a type 6 engine, and then I can take a hand crew with me to where we can do not only structure

688
00:58:25,630 --> 00:58:31,950
protection, but we can go out and do initial attack, create lines, but I need to get my certifications

689
00:58:31,950 --> 00:58:35,850
a little bit higher, and that's something I was able to do during this fire.

690
00:58:36,650 --> 00:58:41,290
So with that I want to thank Tom Huntington City for the support.

691
00:58:42,310 --> 00:58:47,370
Helping me build a better wildland program, I want to thank Hunter and Chloe.

692
00:58:48,050 --> 00:58:53,770
Hunter lynches my assistant fire chief, Chloe McArthur is one of our newest firefighters

693
00:58:53,770 --> 00:58:55,950
and she's been just doing amazing.

694
00:58:56,450 --> 00:58:58,950
Hunter held down the floor for the last two weeks while I was on the mountain.

695
00:58:58,950 --> 00:59:03,650
I didn't have to worry about down here because I was busy up there.

696
00:59:04,030 --> 00:59:07,610
So thank you to them for keeping everything going while I was out of town.

697
00:59:07,610 --> 00:59:11,510
I didn't have to worry that Huntington wasn't protected because we built a crew

698
00:59:12,190 --> 00:59:15,630
that no matter who's there, we're going to have good people on the scene.

699
00:59:16,530 --> 00:59:17,890
Do you have any questions for me?

700
00:59:19,090 --> 00:59:21,470
What is the age restriction held?

701
00:59:22,150 --> 00:59:25,910
So to be an active firefighter's 18, we do have a juniors program.

702
00:59:27,310 --> 00:59:32,230
So 14 with parent, they can attend our trainings, we'll train them just the same as we train

703
00:59:32,230 --> 00:59:32,950
our other firefighters.

704
00:59:33,610 --> 00:59:38,950
From 16 up with a signature from their parent, they can be at the station and do the trainings

705
00:59:38,950 --> 00:59:40,850
with us, they can't go on the fire.

706
00:59:42,170 --> 00:59:46,690
But we will train them just the same, they will gain all the same knowledge, and if they start

707
00:59:46,690 --> 00:59:52,330
at 16 by the time they're 18, they'll be ready to start getting their qualifications that year.

708
00:59:52,330 --> 00:59:52,710
Yeah.

709
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:58,280
Winter fire?

710
00:59:58,580 --> 00:59:58,940
Yes.

711
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:05,120
January. Yeah, that'll be the last weekend in January.

712
01:00:08,130 --> 01:00:33,230
Oh, as far as who's going to attend. Okay. Yep. We will get to that. Also, talking about you for the fire trainings. We have a, it's called the EADS trailer, the electronic driving simulator. It's going to be hosted in Theron or not Theron Green River through the Utah Fire Rescue Academy. We will be sending a couple of our firefighters down there to attend it. It is a training they have to pass off to drive.

713
01:00:33,230 --> 01:00:37,710
have our apparatuses. So they'll do the electronic simulator and then there's also a hands-on

714
01:00:37,710 --> 01:00:43,490
road course. They have to drive the apparatuses. They'll be responding in through this cone

715
01:00:43,490 --> 01:00:48,070
course. So they'll receive the classroom portion and the hands-on portion and that's

716
01:00:48,070 --> 01:00:52,170
one of our requirements, the honeycomb fire, to pass off our firefighters, to be able to

717
01:00:52,170 --> 01:00:58,230
operate our trucks. It's kind of one day or two day course. It's a one day. So they'll do

718
01:00:58,230 --> 01:01:04,230
Heads in the morning, co-course in the afternoon, or vice versa, because they're going to run four deployments right now.

719
01:01:04,890 --> 01:01:11,310
Yeah, so they'll do one group doing the electronic version while another group is doing the physical,

720
01:01:11,730 --> 01:01:14,850
they're in the trucks and then they'll swap those two after lunch.

721
01:01:15,350 --> 01:01:18,450
So it'll be a one-day course, eight-hour training, plus drive time.

722
01:01:19,030 --> 01:01:21,050
Are they going to teach backing?

723
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:26,040
He had to.

724
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,260
I can't even say what the name of that doll is.

725
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:34,940
Competent spotters, competent drivers.

726
01:01:35,820 --> 01:01:38,320
There is a whole section in backing though.

727
01:01:39,060 --> 01:01:39,520
Thank you, Chase.

728
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:40,820
Thank you, Chase.

729
01:01:40,820 --> 01:01:41,240
Thank you.

730
01:01:41,300 --> 01:01:41,620
Thank you, Chase.

731
01:01:41,780 --> 01:01:43,020
Thanks for having me.

732
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:45,360
Thanks for having me.

733
01:01:45,540 --> 01:01:46,620
I need to talk to you and Hunter.

734
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:48,020
Thank you.

735
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:50,500
Maynors Department.

736
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:52,620
Scott.

737
01:01:59,630 --> 01:02:01,250
What were you sitting around on your e-bike?

738
01:02:19,020 --> 01:02:24,880
We've got our new mower hooked up, haven't used it yet but it's hooked up ready to roll.

739
01:02:26,380 --> 01:02:32,540
We've had a handful of funerals, we've had the dig, and there was a dead tree in the cemetery.

740
01:02:32,540 --> 01:02:33,680
We've got that cut down.

741
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:40,340
And just all the other stained old stuff, take care of sprinklers.

742
01:02:40,820 --> 01:02:42,540
We've had a few breaks, we've had to repair.

743
01:02:43,340 --> 01:02:47,860
Clean a bunch of sprinklers, but, you know, been seeing it.

744
01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:50,300
Okay, get ready, fall cleanups coming.

745
01:02:51,140 --> 01:03:01,220
we've already seen a few piles out there ready to get picked up so okay thanks

746
01:03:01,220 --> 01:03:06,960
Gunny you bet I'm a youth kit city council report we do that with your

747
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:12,720
council okay come we'll start with you this time all right thank you

748
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:20,500
planning zoning they had to elect chair and co-chair and they elected Patrick

749
01:03:20,500 --> 01:03:26,880
Felberg at the chairman and Stacey Michael Pran has the co-chairman and then

750
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:33,600
Theron Lee like is the alternate like we both eat them on here or so and that

751
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:40,920
he's welcomed and that they during meeting they discussed the short-term

752
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:47,660
Reynolds Vacation, short-term vacation rentals. Next month, they'll be having a public

753
01:03:47,660 --> 01:03:55,280
caring on that. Then Hector come, wanted to apply for a car

754
01:03:58,070 --> 01:04:02,150
dealership, but they're

755
01:04:02,150 --> 01:04:13,030
going to follow through on that next month. They extended that to next month. And that's

756
01:04:13,030 --> 01:04:22,850
on on a planning and zoning. I went to LEPC meeting and we had the meteorologists from

757
01:04:22,850 --> 01:04:30,470
all of them from Salt Lake, Utah, just in that. They talked about the Doppler Radar area here

758
01:04:30,470 --> 01:04:36,330
it's pretty hard to get the weather here so they're going to they're saying they're the private

759
01:04:36,330 --> 01:04:41,370
company will be coming in probably about two years putting off the radar up on

760
01:04:41,370 --> 01:04:46,490
six-seater mountain. That's going to help. That's all I got.

761
01:04:47,690 --> 01:04:55,810
Thank you. Lisa. On August 1st, the District 6 adult writing club meet was held

762
01:04:55,810 --> 01:05:02,330
at R Arena. It was well attended. We only had one accident. On August, the last

763
01:05:02,330 --> 01:05:06,910
Saturday in August there is a four wheeler biking group that will use the

764
01:05:06,910 --> 01:05:11,210
pavilion as a rest stop. They did that last year. They appreciated us letting

765
01:05:11,210 --> 01:05:11,950
them come in.

766
01:05:14,510 --> 01:05:18,090
The young little bull riders have been practicing at the arena

767
01:05:18,090 --> 01:05:23,270
and we have one local eight-year-old that has qualified for the IMBA World

768
01:05:23,270 --> 01:05:27,730
Finals in Ogden which will be held September 8 through the level.

769
01:05:28,450 --> 01:05:28,930
Okay.

770
01:05:33,660 --> 01:05:35,860
It happens to be Brent and Miller,

771
01:05:38,610 --> 01:05:40,470
aka Betty Lou.

772
01:05:41,810 --> 01:05:43,210
That's another story.

773
01:05:44,770 --> 01:05:44,930
Okay.

774
01:05:48,410 --> 01:05:48,910
That's it.

775
01:05:49,230 --> 01:05:49,490
Okay.

776
01:05:50,430 --> 01:05:50,910
Devon.

777
01:05:52,330 --> 01:05:54,570
Streets and sidewalks have been really quiet for me too.

778
01:05:54,770 --> 01:06:01,170
So I'll thank the guys and maintenance for keeping them quiet and trying to stand top of those weeds as much as I'm sure they're going as fast as you're spraying them.

779
01:06:02,270 --> 01:06:07,610
Other than that, I've got a couple projects going out for bid here pretty soon, but that's

780
01:06:07,610 --> 01:06:08,570
all I've got tonight too.

781
01:06:09,430 --> 01:06:09,490
Good.

782
01:06:10,690 --> 01:06:10,970
Good.

783
01:06:12,110 --> 01:06:20,990
On the fourth, we had our EEMSSD meeting, that special service visit for our emergency response

784
01:06:20,990 --> 01:06:30,850
teams, and we were able to acquire an agreement with the county so that we could,

785
01:06:30,850 --> 01:06:37,930
raise the pay for the on call, which is not, we've not been able to do that for 25 years.

786
01:06:39,150 --> 01:06:41,090
And so that was a huge breakthrough for us.

787
01:06:42,090 --> 01:06:49,570
And hopefully that'll help us to retain EMTs and staff, or five garages at 100% is

788
01:06:49,570 --> 01:06:51,330
what we're attempting to do.

789
01:06:52,210 --> 01:06:57,110
Honeyton is the only garage that is able to do that staff at 100%.

790
01:06:57,110 --> 01:07:03,230
And so we've been trying different things to try to get all the other four garages staffed

791
01:07:04,110 --> 01:07:10,670
more around the clock. So that was a big breakthrough for us on that district.

792
01:07:11,590 --> 01:07:20,850
The REC board district, we've got our new director in and he's been a ball fire. He's doing a lot

793
01:07:20,850 --> 01:07:27,990
of work and our assistant director and him are really doing a lot of work there so we're

794
01:07:27,990 --> 01:07:32,390
excited to move forward with some things with the wreck district.

795
01:07:35,970 --> 01:07:37,510
Just a lot of footwork

796
01:07:37,510 --> 01:07:42,410
on these pickleball courts and it's frustrating to see these prices and just see how much it

797
01:07:42,410 --> 01:07:48,390
costs to do this kind of stuff. I'd love to figure out a way to get some help with grants

798
01:07:48,390 --> 01:07:53,230
on that one so that we don't have to take a brown of it. So hopefully that

799
01:07:53,230 --> 01:07:54,570
can happen.

800
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:02,460
So yeah street cleanup September 15th through November 15th and

801
01:08:02,460 --> 01:08:08,060
that'll we start in that soon so thanks guys for helping there. Jennifer did go

802
01:08:08,060 --> 01:08:12,440
out and check our flowers because it seemed like something was maybe some we

803
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:19,820
people or some kind of bug was hitting them, but it's just that time of year taught.

804
01:08:20,740 --> 01:08:22,940
They're still holding on for a little bit though.

805
01:08:24,440 --> 01:08:28,300
And I just want to thank all the city workers for all the hard work they do with their parks

806
01:08:28,300 --> 01:08:29,720
and our city.

807
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:34,060
It's a beautiful city to live in and you're a major part of reason for that.

808
01:08:35,100 --> 01:08:35,560
That's all of that.

809
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:36,620
Very good.

810
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:37,700
All right.

811
01:08:39,060 --> 01:08:39,460
Okay.

812
01:08:39,460 --> 01:08:45,080
Hey, Cemetery, there were five plots sold and we did have four funerals.

813
01:08:47,380 --> 01:08:54,020
I think all of us would really like to thank Elisa Pierce for her dedication and service

814
01:08:54,020 --> 01:08:59,360
for all of the years that she has spent as our Huntington City's crosswalk worker.

815
01:08:59,960 --> 01:09:03,880
She's no longer with us and we replaced her with Renee.

816
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:12,900
Renee. Renee is going to help the Estelle and Amy for this school year. I also met with

817
01:09:12,900 --> 01:09:19,000
the crosswalk workers to go over safety procedures before school started. So we got that done.

818
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:26,880
Did his coat come in? Okay, thank you. The U.C. Council kids are resting. Okay.

819
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:38,620
on a rest. Okay. Before school started, so let them have some fun. Okay. And I would

820
01:09:38,620 --> 01:09:44,140
also like to thank the workers, the cemetery, Jennifer, and it's pretty up there. It is

821
01:09:44,140 --> 01:09:49,180
pretty up there. She's done a great job and so has Tim. And I think the workers for taking

822
01:09:49,180 --> 01:09:54,980
that dead tree out. That's all I got. Okay. All right. Plenty and zoning administrator.

823
01:09:58,960 --> 01:09:59,440
You have

824
01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:00,300
anything for us.

825
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:09,280
Okay I had a couple zone clearances with both new homes

826
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:16,780
going to be put in and that there was a boat trailer and some jet skis on a

827
01:10:16,780 --> 01:10:20,720
trailer both were unlicensed that Gloria brought to my attention those have been

828
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,340
removed. Thank you. You're welcome. On

829
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,460
the first one on my resident interactions

830
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:42,740
somebody called and said that there was some RV living. I spoke with this resident and she said that the person that was living in the RV just decided to move inside the house.

831
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:50,160
So it's still there, but he's using it in the store all of his stuff and now instead of sleeping. So I let it go at that.

832
01:10:51,340 --> 01:10:58,020
The next one down, this has been in the works. We'll continue to be in the works for the foreseeable future.

833
01:10:59,980 --> 01:11:10,020
the next one worked with planning and zoning. We did come up with another solution for him that we

834
01:11:10,020 --> 01:11:17,960
feel will be a better avenue. He's going to move it to the other side of town. I'm planning and zoning in myself

835
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:25,080
thought that that might be a better place to have a car lot than in our residential areas. I think we

836
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:30,100
reach some common ground there. We had some interest in the market

837
01:11:30,100 --> 01:11:35,300
Catholic Justice subdivision. They're wanting to revive that and start some new

838
01:11:35,300 --> 01:11:41,220
building in that. So I talked to them. I had a couple of questions on zoning

839
01:11:41,220 --> 01:11:42,120
clearances.

840
01:11:44,260 --> 01:11:50,720
A bunch of trash, lately a bunch of weeds. So I hit those as much as I

841
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,620
could couple certified letters sent out.

842
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,860
There is an RV that's parked on the

843
01:11:58,860 --> 01:12:04,780
street on 400 North on the east side of Main Street that's not current on its

844
01:12:04,780 --> 01:12:10,000
license. I tagged that it has not been moved so I'm going to revisit that and

845
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:18,600
then we had our five business licenses that we already discussed. Any questions?

846
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:25,780
that's the solar panels. There was somebody that called talk to Brandy about what

847
01:12:25,780 --> 01:12:30,040
our zoning clearances and regulations on solar panels were and I called back and

848
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:34,320
talked to them and they ended up needing to go through the county. So I think they

849
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:38,600
were a little confused on maybe our city boundaries because he said he got

850
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:42,440
everything squared away through the county. Thank

851
01:12:45,860 --> 01:12:50,200
you for all your hard work.

852
01:12:50,200 --> 01:13:00,720
Wait time you put in. I appreciate it. At this time we like to turn some time over to City Council member Wilson Devon.

853
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:07,280
Okay guys, I've got something to read here that some people may not be happy. Some people may be happy to hear this.

854
01:13:07,580 --> 01:13:19,180
But to the mayor and members of Huntington City Council and community members, I Devon Wilson asked you to accept this letter as my formal resignation from my position on the Huntington City Council.

855
01:13:19,180 --> 01:13:23,160
effective August 19th, 2026. I am

856
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,860
sincerely grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and to work alongside

857
01:13:26,860 --> 01:13:31,500
of each of you. I appreciate the support, encouragement and experiences I have received

858
01:13:31,500 --> 01:13:38,540
during my time on the City Council. It has been an honor to contribute to a community that

859
01:13:38,540 --> 01:13:39,480
That means so much to me.

860
01:13:39,980 --> 01:13:40,400
Thank you.

861
01:13:41,260 --> 01:13:41,740
Everybody.

862
01:13:42,480 --> 01:13:42,760
Honestly.

863
01:13:43,780 --> 01:13:44,220
But that's it.

864
01:13:45,700 --> 01:13:46,660
I don't

865
01:13:50,340 --> 01:13:50,480
know.

866
01:13:50,820 --> 01:13:51,540
I may accept it.

867
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:53,660
I said please.

868
01:13:53,980 --> 01:13:56,460
I said please.

869
01:13:56,460 --> 01:13:57,060
Oh, night.

870
01:13:59,460 --> 01:14:00,920
Oh, we don't have to approve it.

871
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,060
David, I want to thank you for all your hard work.

872
01:14:03,300 --> 01:14:06,420
You have done stepping up and helping us for them when you did.

873
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,620
I understand it's stressful at times.

874
01:14:09,620 --> 01:14:18,520
in and for reuning why I understand but thank you for all you and what you've done for us and hopefully

875
01:14:19,380 --> 01:14:26,960
again you'll maybe rethink that didn't want to run again. I just want to read on to the record

876
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:35,960
that we received a Depends Resignation Letter as of August 19, 2016. Okay all right at this time we're

877
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:44,540
for one more motion. I'll make the motion we adjourn. I have a motion to adjourn. Second by Tom all in

878
01:14:44,540 --> 01:14:46,740
favorite? Yes. Yes. Any opposed?
