I actually heard some of the 860 00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:00,160 spot ads and it's pretty positive and 861 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,400 hopefully it's uh, helping to make a 862 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,760 difference. Um, want to shout out to 863 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,000 Salina and the loss they suffered with a 864 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,960 mowing accident that flipped upside down 865 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,200 in the river. Um, the operator succumbed 866 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,079 to his injuries. And I think it's a good 867 00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:22,960 reminder on um John, you probably 868 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,359 remember when the city first talked 869 00:36:25,359 --> 00:36:28,160 about the uh mowers that could go on the 870 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,880 inclines down here and the whole idea of 871 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,720 spending the extra money on that type of 872 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:36,240 mower was for safety. So keep in mind 873 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:39,040 that when we look at budgets and what we 874 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,800 spend if they bring up safety issues, 875 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,880 uh look at what happened in Salina and 876 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,280 it's unfortunate.

So, if we can keep an ongoing 885 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,000 revolving 886 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,280 um pending future agenda items on the um 887 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,200 agenda. 888 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,599 That's uh some of the information that 889 00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:30,240 was brought to my attention.

I think Jason's got about three or 906 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,720 four days left. We had some issues with 907 00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:18,320 street sweeper, so they kind of backed 908 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,040 off on doing any more sealing until we 909 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,920 got it up. They're catching up this next 910 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,119 couple days and then they'll get back 911 00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:26,560 on. Hopefully by the end of the week, 912 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,560 we'll be done with chip seal, at least 913 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,520 with the seal part.

Um, I mean, we're still probably 916 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,839 I'm guessing with the rain, we we're 917 00:38:37,839 --> 00:38:39,520 probably a couple weeks behind where we 918 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,640 our target date. Um, contractor still 919 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,320 seems comfortable that we'll be done 920 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,440 with that first phase in October. 921 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,000 I'm holding out. Uh, we'll see. I think 922 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,440 we'll be substantially I don't know that 923 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,359 it'll be completely completely that 924 00:38:53,359 --> 00:38:54,960 phase done, but we'll we'll be 925 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,079 substantially complete. 926 00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:58,000 >> Have a plan B for Have we started to get 927 00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,760 a plan B for 928 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,079 >> uh I've actually I had a phone call 929 00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:07,359 today with them. Uh they've got some things in the works. Uh I I really 930 00:39:07,359 --> 00:39:08,880 don't think the parade will be affected 931 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,880 at all. We'll have the main line unless 932 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,480 something drastically drastically 933 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,960 happens with rain. We'll have the main 934 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,720 line done. Maybe some sidewalks, some 935 00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:18,160 handicap ramps on the south side of the 936 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,800 road might not be done, but I don't 937 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,960 think that will hamper farm city days at 938 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,400 all as far as the parade and the that 939 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,160 goes. So, um yeah. and the contractor 940 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,760 every meeting I have every week. Hey, I still think we're going to be there. 941 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,520 So, we'll see 942 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,920 how that plays out. But, um they're 943 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,920 making some headway now. It It's hard to 944 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,599 see progress until you really see that 945 00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:44,560 thing coming together. Uh to this week, 946 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,040 they're pouring uh a lot of the 947 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,599 finishing the radius or the curb or not 948 00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:51,839 the curbs, the uh approaches on the side 949 00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:54,640 streets. Uh tomorrow I think they're 950 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,960 going to pour the off streetet or the 951 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,200 parallel parking like by Audacious and 952 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,200 Community National down by Bob's office. 953 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,079 They'll be pouring those pieces. Uh and 954 00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:05,680 I think by the end of the week, if 955 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,240 they're not doing it, then first of next 956 00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:10,320 week, there'll be you'll see some cu 957 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,200 curb being formed up ready to be poured. 958 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,320 Uh middle of the week, we should see uh 959 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,040 grading back in here for sidewalks. So 960 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,720 things are coming around. Uh 961 00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:22,320 >> people have asked me why they don't work 962 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,079 seven days a week. What 963 00:40:24,079 --> 00:40:26,000 >> they don't have to 964 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,800 >> they it's a calendar completion project. 965 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,320 Uh and until they get down to the end, 966 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,480 they won't. I can tell you that. Uh and a lot of times when you see them not 967 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,000 there on Fridays, they've worked 968 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,640 themselves into that corner. I guess 969 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,480 they poured up as much as they can. They 970 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,839 can't pull the forms. They got cure 971 00:40:43,839 --> 00:40:47,280 time. Um, so a lot of that's just how 972 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,280 they've worked them worked in three days 973 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,200 and they've got to back off for a day or 974 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,240 two before they can pour another 975 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:58,880 section. Uh, but yeah, I don't and Kat's kind of unique in the 976 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,480 fact that they've got to request to work 977 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,680 weekends or holidays. So, uh, Monday 978 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,319 through Friday is normal. You know, a 979 00:41:06,319 --> 00:41:09,280 Saturday here or there. I could see 980 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,960 >> Well, if you want another answer, it's 981 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,160 money. Yeah, 982 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,599 >> if they want to do something like that, 983 00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:15,040 then we would have to fork over a whole 984 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,319 lot more than we already. 985 00:41:16,319 --> 00:41:19,359 >> Yeah, I think by by like midday Friday 986 00:41:19,359 --> 00:41:21,839 to on Saturdays is usually overtime. So, 987 00:41:21,839 --> 00:41:23,200 you're getting the people paying a lot 988 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,480 more for their overtime. They 989 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,240 >> I mean, for example, the concrete crews 990 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:29,839 are in here uh I'd say around 6:00 to 991 00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:31,680 6:30 every morning. When they're here 992 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,359 pouring and and forming, they're here 993 00:41:33,359 --> 00:41:35,839 around 6:00 to 6:30 and they don't leave 994 00:41:35,839 --> 00:41:38,160 until about 4:30 in the afternoon. So 995 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,440 they're they're getting it they're 996 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,960 getting that 10-hour day in. 997 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,800 >> And it appears that they're using the 998 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,440 weekends for the engineer and surveyors. 999 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,920 And it looks like there there's been 1000 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,680 guys down there on the weekend. 1001 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:50,240 >> A lot of 1002 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:51,680 >> pinninging and flagging and 1003 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,520 >> a lot of that is borderline guys down on 1004 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,040 the other end. I know they got Kentucky 1005 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,240 Street intersection. 1006 00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:57,440 >> I'm talking about on the concrete 1007 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:58,880 downtown. If you drive through during 1008 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,240 the weekend, 1009 00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:01,920 >> they're they're parked on the concrete 1010 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,440 and they're marking and they're 1011 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,599 surveying. I've seen them with their 1012 00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:07,119 transom out there. 1013 00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:07,839 >> It's great. 1014 00:42:07,839 --> 00:42:09,920 >> So, they are doing some things on the 1015 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:10,319 weekend. 1016 00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:11,760 >> Yeah, they're I I think they're moving 1017 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,000 along. Uh I think it's still we're 1018 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,480 probably a couple weeks from switching. 1019 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,160 If weather goes well over the next two 1020 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,520 weeks, I think we'll be switching to the 1021 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,359 other side. Some of the lighting may not 1022 00:42:21,359 --> 00:42:23,119 be done on the north side. That can be 1023 00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:24,800 done. I think they'll pour the bases. 1024 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,280 They just probably won't set poles u and 1025 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:38,550 flip over to the other side. So, 1026 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,839 Motion to adjurnn. Second to adjurnn in 1027 00:42:41,839 --> 00:42:45,200 a second. All in favor? I. Opposed. 1028 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,599 Motion carries.
