council meeting. All in favor? I

8
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,280
» oppos
public comment.

9
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,000
» Well, Mayor Gings, you've seen me a few
times now.

10
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,000
» I think most of the other uh council
members have. So, this kind of give a

11
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:19,920
chance for Mr. Paffle to kind of
understand why I'm here. Um, I moved

12
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:27,840
into a duplex about a year and a half
ago uh in the uh Rockville subdivision

13
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:34,320
and um I would like to build a garage um
for storage on that uh property and my

14
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:39,759
particular piece of property is about
the same size as two of the parks here

15
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:48,560
in town. It's a pretty big parcel. And
um so the way the current um ordinance I

16
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:54,399
believe says that a duplex is limited in
size of what they can build as compared

17
00:01:51,040 --> 00:02:01,360
to a standalone home. And at the last
planning meeting that I attended, I

18
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:06,560
believe the ordinance recommendation by
the planning committee was to change it.

19
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:11,840
So, duplexes basically were considered
the same as a standalone home. And

20
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,080
correct me if I'm wrong, mayor. Um I I
think that's what they had recommended.

21
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,239
And so I'm just here tonight to see if
the common council as a whole was going

22
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:27,200
to vote on approving that um
recommendation from the planning

23
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:33,200
committee. So
I believe uh so yeah, that is on our uh

24
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:38,640
on our agenda on Thursday. uh for for
that to uh for the plan commission to

25
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:43,200

00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:16,160
projects come up allows us to to do a
task order for that type of work

current billing rates are uh for those
most in general most task orders cuz

97

already for limitations as far as um

107
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:20,680

dollars spent. As long as we stay within

» Yeah. So there there is um
this work and we have two pending

127
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:12,560
matters that are one that I think was
all three but one that's still pending

128
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:15,920
in um circuit court. So as an attorney
of record and you're an attorney of

129
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,560
records, we have to do a substitution of
attorney gets resolved. So I'm just

130
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:25,040
trying to think [music] about more.
Yeah, we can kind of we can kind of

131
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:30,480
discuss that as we go through and um you
know we don't get them resolved in a

132
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,519
timely manner but uh to keep you on as
the record on those

133
00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:39,000
to like

134
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,480
» the pending cases

135
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:54,000
wonder why
>> I think Mr. One was the both will be

136
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:59,680
done in a lot of cases and one was in
manage circuit court and judge actually

137
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:04,560
signed the order today it's still
showing that there's a hearing tomorrow

138
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:10,920
by telephone [music]
but I think that might need to go up and

139
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,920
there's another line

140
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:23,800
as
trial February

141
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:23,800
February or something. So, um

142
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,440
those are the two that I'm trying.
>> Okay.

143
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:37,120
» So, should we be talking about uh an
effective date here or is this effective

144
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,839
immediately?
>> We should have an effective date on

145
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,680
that, right?
>> Yeah. And I can work with the new city

146
00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:50,639

Trump time I can even you're okay for me

Circuit Court is um like midFebruary. So
