2024 um I know that new council members

65
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:01,639
and new leadership have big changes and
sometimes scary and frustrating I firly

66
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,800
believe that the men and women volunteer
to sit in a position like this really

67
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:11,039
pour their hearts and souls into serving
this community and I have think that

wise ire

96
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:10,079
process
start more

97
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:16,079
specific dates which to
advertise just looking at the

98
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:22,600
Timeline being in the process of h
p the chief City for example took six to

99
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:28,000
seven months and just want to make sure
that we have quality candidates that

100
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:33,560
will be there just so can we have more
specifics yeah for we haven't we haven't

101
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:39,360
decided the process but U but as I but
as I mentioned that um number one first

102
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,839
we have to have a job description um
before we solicit any um one apply for

103
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:49,320
any position we need to have a job
description specifically for the

104
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:54,560
currently we don't have that and so I
think and that's been discussed in one

105
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:58,279
of our committees the finance committee
I think the goal is the first to get

106
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:04,639
that done first and then we'll map out a
plan on the higher process after that

107
00:11:01,959 --> 00:11:04,639
add to that

108
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:13,800
yes um I also wanted to mention that the
um the job description is underway a

109
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:18,600
draft is underway and as president
mentioned we want some Community input

110
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,480
not on the draft per se but on things
they would like to see as part of the

111
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:27,040
job description uh and the council will
be reviewing the draft as well making

112
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:32,800
their inputs and we're going to do it
just as fast as we can also are going we

113
00:11:29,959 --> 00:11:38,720
plan on partnering with certain services
that will help increase the diversity of

216
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:19,039
burough office
staff um bur it advisor our committee

217
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:22,840
recommends to continue using wellstone
technology stting this transition to

218
00:21:20,919 --> 00:21:27,159
facilitate updates to technology over
the next 3 to six months they're going

219
00:21:25,159 --> 00:21:31,360
to move to contracted services from
power of the billing

220
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:36,400
we've asked' asked to do that um this
contract will be reviewed by committee

221
00:21:32,919 --> 00:21:41,080
at the first February meeting and I am
had

222
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:46,360
consulted regarding status and
was the committee recommends to put it

223
00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:48,960
service out for rmp after the initial
updates are

224
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:55,279
confed uh in terms of Technology
upgrades for Council we are going to

225
00:21:53,440 --> 00:22:00,760
recommend Research into purchase and
setup of up to 10 Chromebooks or similar

226
00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:04,720
for use by bur Council seven of those
the mayor one of those and the

227
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:09,360
facilities one for the meeting room and
one for the 20th century Club as well as

228
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:13,480
lock boxes for the 20th century Club
Tech this is to ensure the adequate

229
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:18,559
technology is provided for Simplicity
and safety the bur of information um the

230
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:22,919
bur manager will be with the library
regarding a checkout form for

231
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:27,000
Signature um the committee recommends
Research into purchase and set up of

232
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:30,720
microphone and speaker technology in the
meeting room and in the 20th century

233
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:35,240
Club to ensure adequate sounding agement
on zoom and again I want to add my

234
00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:40,919
thanks to the Mayors for your patience
we're very eager to get all these worked

235
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:46,760
out technology has been key in that but
the equipment we were left it with is

236
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:52,799
just very uh difficult to use and sync
so um uh bear with us and hopefully

237
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:57,720
tonight is is a a good example of lot of
improvement and we'll continue to

238
00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:02,960
improve until we can make a full a full
s

239
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:07,320
up um we also recommend Research into
ethernet access here at the 20th century

240
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:12,480
Club to ensure hybrid duties can be
adequately held uh these old buildings

241
00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:16,559
have very thick walls and cannot uh you
know the wireless cannot get through to

242
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:21,279
where we need it to be so we'll be
looking into that and we also recommend

243
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,559
Research into using SharePoint or
similar for storing and sharing records

244
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:31,120
by bur staff and Council and mayor
because Google Docs is simply not secure

245
00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:37,840
and um this would be the easiest easiest
way to facilitate sharing uh important

246
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:41,440
documents we're uh we were going to have
technology training for Council this

247
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:47,159
evening before our meeting but
unfortunately bur all had other ideas so

248
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:52,600
um we will look to reschedule that uh
and the burrow website refresh we are um

249
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:58,919
uh looking
into well we had an initial meeting with

250
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:04,120
Danel L on 112 to talk about about that
um the agenda included uh the contract

251
00:24:02,159 --> 00:24:07,880
process and operations and the initial
desire for website reorganization to be

252
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:12,480
more user friendly and I'll talk a bit
more about that in other business uh we

253
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:18,120
did have that initial meeting with
dandel uh and we learned that the Civic

254
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:22,559
plus Civic plus platform on which the
website is based and on which many

255
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:26,600
burrow websites are based can be
improved but to achieve media life

256
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:32,440
results we need the update to Civics
plus need which at a additional cost of

257
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:37,360
course wellstone technology is
investigating the cost and Dand line can

258
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:41,799
support the migration for $5,000 and it
takes about three months uh I need to

259
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:47,760
talk about this with committee but my
personal recommendation is that we uh

260
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:53,840
update uh as best we can this year and
plan for funds next year for this update

261
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:57,360
um currently homepage items are
optimized based on the frequency of

262
00:24:55,559 --> 00:25:01,440
searches and visits so I wanted to make
that clear here there are currently

263
00:24:59,159 --> 00:25:06,440
unused modules that we can investigate
such as linking the agenda center with

264
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:10,799
calendars and also having multiple
calendars for facilities which we should

265
00:25:08,919 --> 00:25:15,440
uh take on as quickly as possible and
those are included in the

266
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:19,520
contract um there uh and that will
improve navigation somewhat and and ease

267
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:25,039
a finding
information Danel will create a proposal

268
00:25:22,159 --> 00:25:29,080
for utilizing the facilities platform we
and recommended that we have a local

269
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:33,640
photographer take picks of facilities
around town for use on the site of

270
00:25:30,679 --> 00:25:37,559
social media and also they recommended
the short phone videos from council

271
00:25:35,399 --> 00:25:43,320
members of burrow events would be social
media hits uh so I just wanted to part

272
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:48,200
that with the council um for the burrow
calendar Danel lion recommends not

273
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:52,080
having nonb items on the burrow calendar
for these reasons adding a nonprofit or

274
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:56,679
business event to the government
calendar could lead to objections from

275
00:25:54,279 --> 00:26:00,440
organizations that are not listed an
organization could find himself in

276
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,559
trouble at some point either financially
or with the law and having that

277
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:08,440
organization's event on the official
government calendar could lead legal

278
00:26:05,679 --> 00:26:11,880
issues um residents view the calendar to
find out about upcoming meetings and

279
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:16,760
burough sponsored events and it's
confusing to see nonprofit or other

280
00:26:14,399 --> 00:26:20,600
organization events on a calendar that
is specifically worked as a local

281
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:25,159
government calendar these Community
organization events should be added by

282
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:30,000
the LC and are added by the LC to their
calendar and they're usually very good

283
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:35,240
about doing that and what we can do is
have a link to the calendar on our bur

284
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:40,240
calendar uh that will be my
recommendation and recommendation as I

285
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:43,919
mentioned of our of our contractor Dan L
they also noted that none of their other

286
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:47,600
Municipal clients add community events
that are not sponsored or hosted by them

287
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,159
to their calendar for all the reasons
listed

288
00:26:50,679 --> 00:26:59,399
previously um we are going to propose
that dandelion and wistone Technologies

289
00:26:57,159 --> 00:27:04,159
get 15 to 20 minute presentations to
council either in advance of the first

290
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:08,320
February meeting three questions or
during the council meeting so I'll be

291
00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:12,360
reaching out to president Curry about
including that in the agenda um we would

292
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:16,240
like to create a technical board
subcommittee to include members of the

293
00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:21,600
community to help support our
initiatives um Zoom is still a security

294
00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:26,600
risk although we have seen improvements
in blocking Zoom bombing which I'm very

295
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:31,200
grateful for um invest we're
investigating C and the compatibility of

296
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:37,679
the government platform swag it which is
packaged within a technology uh for

297
00:27:34,399 --> 00:27:42,120
example how the accounts UNS are run uh
again I don't know that that is going to

298
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:46,960
be in the budget for this year but we're
investigating now for planning for

299
00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:50,960
teaches um we're now making use of the
website front page Banner for day-to-day

300
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:56,120
information such as road closing
movement of tonight's meeting Etc and

301
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:01,519
for pushing out social media as well Dan
does get aqua closure info for that

302
00:27:59,159 --> 00:28:05,519
purpose we need to confirm the holiday
calendar with d line and I will sending

303
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:10,760
that to the community relations
committee um monitoring social media and

304
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:15,320
other the non-private groups is part of
D L's

305
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:21,159
contract uh please to the council send
any ideas for articles uh one uh uh

306
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:26,399
suggestion by Dy that I thought was
great was to do bios of each council

307
00:28:23,679 --> 00:28:32,000
member and they would take on uh calling
and interviewing each person for those

308
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:36,640
AOS put a photo up on the site and we
agreed to have monthly 30 minute

309
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:42,919
checkins with d manager the tech chair
and my team consultant as well as ad

310
00:28:40,399 --> 00:28:45,279
M thank you for putting up with me
through that

311
00:28:51,000 --> 00:29:01,159
very I have one question I know
that sorry I know that

312
00:28:58,159 --> 00:29:06,760
talk about utilizing QR code to list
events and I'm curious to know obviously

313
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:12,039
this would be intend with the LC so the
LC need to be agreeable but if we can

314
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:16,240
tie their events and our events together
someplace so that when somebody does

315
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:20,440
scan the QR code they get a
comprehensive list of everything that's

316
00:29:18,039 --> 00:29:25,039
happening I think that even if even if
it's not on a counter maybe it's just a

317
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:29,960
landing page but some place that where
if we do utilize those QR codes someone

318
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:37,159
stands it that they'll see a
comprehensive list not just here's where

319
00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:42,679
gr accounts are and here's art on other
so anything can do to make that more

320
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:47,960
single stream no that's a great idea as
I mentioned itend the short term and by

321
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:51,399
the way I have the QR codes on my list
they just did make the report today

322
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:58,320
because they're more three to six month
initiatives um uh when you go to the

323
00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:03,840
burrow calendar you will have a link to
the LC c as well and looking to see if

324
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:11,399
there's a way to streamline that even
further but at the very least they will

325
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:11,399
see the link to go to the LC as thank

326
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,840
you to

327
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:27,840
answer that was the idea that you could
have that place so it's not necessarily

328
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:36,799
Bur counil
events meetings but the actual

329
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:43,440
events then also any of the down as well
the ledc events as well that

330
00:30:39,679 --> 00:30:49,640
IDE sort of a separate Cal just
for Asos to

331
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:55,799
necessarily that might
that that

332
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,799
contract okay we

333
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,240
inves

334
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:12,240
you stated in the beginning about the
mb5

335
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:17,760
design the amount
of the amount of work no the design I

336
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:23,279
then jump in here if I get something
wrong um my understanding is the design

337
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:29,159
is paid for it just wasn't completed yet
to hand off to but out an RFP for the

338
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:29,159
construction

339
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,039
thank

340
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:41,679
you
question thank thank you

341
00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:48,960
next yes good
evening uh this is my January 2024

342
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:54,000
report so under sewers we have an
approval for an American Investment plan

343
00:31:51,399 --> 00:32:00,320
act funds for sewer project and we will
be submitting the paperwork to get that

344
00:31:56,159 --> 00:32:04,320
done uh we are looking at some Paving
projects one in particular with the

345
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:09,960
possibility that the Farmers Market has
to be moved due the to the construction

346
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:15,399
on Veterans landing and Highland Avenue
parking lot is the the Highland Avenue

347
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:19,919
parking lot is being inspected for
possible

348
00:32:17,679 --> 00:32:25,679
pitfalls uh there may be some routine
maintenance required I as the bur

349
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:29,200
engineer and the burrow Public Works
director to take a look and see if

350
00:32:27,399 --> 00:32:35,679
there's anything you can do to make that
a better situation there are no trash or

351
00:32:32,399 --> 00:32:40,760
recycling concerns our recycling
contract ends at the end of this year so

352
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:46,679
that we have to just put on our to-do
list and but we do want you to all

353
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:53,080
remember to reduce reuse and recycle it
still costs us less to recycle product

354
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:59,360
than it does to grow it away uh yard
waste is going to be back in form I'm

355
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:04,279
sure after the snow Christmas tree that
you still hav't thrown yours away they

356
00:33:01,159 --> 00:33:10,480
are yard way there's no separate pickup
just make sure that they are free of

357
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:16,159
inorganic material the street signs Mr
Matson do you want to update the street

358
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:25,080
SS we contracted with a company called
state sence it was last year and they

359
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:28,960
had received everything they did s us we
just haven't received the signs

360
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:37,480
I'm that we would have to have signs at
this

361
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:46,000
point we hav't I to our
contact old fashion before we pay

362
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:53,600
we I'm with you all right under
facilties the I the bur under the bur

363
00:33:50,639 --> 00:34:00,080
Hall the new generator is ready to go
pending P construction I didn't know we

364
00:33:56,279 --> 00:34:05,440
would not happen heat when this was done
um and a point of interest Mr jaak

365
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:09,839
suggested the purchase of a really
powerful generator that will not only

366
00:34:07,639 --> 00:34:17,320
satisfy the building needs in the event
of a power aage but also provide Power

367
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:23,839
to even Chargers should the burrow start
addad electric vehicles to its Fleet in

368
00:34:20,599 --> 00:34:28,919
the 2020 house the ledc is requesting
security cameras for the property the

369
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:34,200
issue there is that there's no internet
in the building and the wifi they have

370
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:40,119
is from this building and we just
discussed in B committee that it's too

371
00:34:37,399 --> 00:34:46,159
much so we're going to be figuring out
the cost to upgrade so that we can use

372
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:50,679
the building better uh the Public Works
director will will be providing

373
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:57,760
information oh this on the bur yard that
we need to do a garage redo apparently

374
00:34:54,399 --> 00:35:02,760
our equipment is not fit in our current
garages and so removing one section of

375
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:07,800
the building and replacing it with a
pole barn to structure would solve that

376
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:12,280
problem so we're going to be looking
into doing that it shouldn't be that

377
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:17,880
expensive because we don't need to have
any utilities in that section of the

378
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:24,960
building uh the committee is asking for
a proposal from the director for further

379
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:31,440
review as mentioned and there is by Mr
Madson and there's also a motion the

380
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:37,800
firehouse needs Heating units and the
vote from the committee was to

381
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:43,240
replace them all with 93% efficiency
heaters there had been the original

382
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:48,160
approval was for three heaters but the
fourth one is on its last leg so that's

383
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:55,680
why we're asking to just let's just do
the whole project and get it done at one

384
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:59,800
time uh codes now under my my uh
committee and the codes director

385
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:07,160
submitted some documents to the
committee one was a code stat summary

386
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:12,000
and and a Comm cumulative report we're
talking about redoing that a little bit

387
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:16,839
so that we can make more sense and he
also supplied the committee with meeting

388
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,760
dates and agendas for all the historic
Architectural Review Board and the

389
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:28,920
zoning Theory Board and the Planning
Commission and I sent

390
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:33,960
a i oh I sent copies I think I sent
copies of that report to all the council

391
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:39,520
members for them to see but if I didn't
I will there's building permits pending

392
00:36:36,839 --> 00:36:44,720
for Dudley Avenue the Habitat for
Humanity project and the Baltimore

393
00:36:41,839 --> 00:36:49,920
Avenue W Avenue cahan board
project he's also helping us with

394
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:54,839
problem properties reports resident
should feel free to report concerns they

395
00:36:52,280 --> 00:37:00,359
have around properties around the burrow
such as empty buildings overr vegetation

396
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:05,079
or questionable activity this can be
done easily and confidentially on the

397
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:10,400
website under the submit of request
navigation and report of building

398
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:14,920
concern our ordinance requires that any
baby property be registered with haa

399
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:20,480
which keeps track of all of them and
helps us manage that Hera is a registry

400
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:25,040
platform used by municipalities and
government agencies Across the Nation to

401
00:37:22,599 --> 00:37:29,920
help combat the problems caused by
vacant and abandoned property there is

402
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:35,040
no cost to the Community Care is
completely free for local government uh

403
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:39,839
properties that are vacant and abandon
have a detrimental detrimental impact on

404
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:44,920
the community including maintenance
inses and inviting criminal activity and

405
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:49,200
the case where property owners are out
of state or property is undergoing

406
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:54,000
foreclosure it's often difficult to
notice the responsible party for

407
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:59,200
violations and maintain the necessary
level of Maintenance and security so

408
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:04,960
it's not a huge concern in the burough
but during public comment in environment

409
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:09,359
and Parks the situation was addressed
had someone come and talk with a public

410
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:15,440
comment suggesting that there's some
issues written in their neighborhood

411
00:38:11,839 --> 00:38:19,480
with litter and boarded up building and
they just wanted us to be aware of it so

412
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:24,680
I that's why I brought it to the
attention of the codes director and we

413
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:29,880
also had some complaints about litter
and trash at the Dollar Tree lot and the

414
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:36,200
CBS and our codes director reported that
they routinely site those

415
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:43,160
businesses under our on boards the hars
next meeting is January 25th 7M for a

416

motion to approve this person to be on

528
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:29,599
the
EAC um

529
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:34,640
we also talked about um other vacancies
parks and wreck has many vacancies so if

530
00:51:32,599 --> 00:51:39,880
there's anyone interested in being on
the Parks and Recreation board there are

531
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:45,319
many openings we also gave an update on
Community Choice

532
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:50,240
aggregation that's um that's the when we
can get a source of a green

533
00:51:47,559 --> 00:51:53,760
electricity we're combining forces with
other

534
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:57,960
municipalities and um there's a
discussion with the public Utilities

535
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:01,920
Commission so we'll we'll know more in
the next several weeks about that we

536
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:07,040
talked about the timeline of the single
use plastic bag and single use plastic

537
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:14,000
straw ordinance and the timeline for
that we want to send out a survey

538
00:52:09,799 --> 00:52:20,200
shortly and then we'll want to engage um
business owners just kind of get them up

539
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:24,599
to speed on like what the idea is and
then have uh at least three public

540
00:52:22,839 --> 00:52:28,319
meetings one of them would be completely
through through Zoom

541
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:32,359
one of them would be in person and the
other one would be combined with perhaps

542
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:36,359
some kind of like a children's program
at the

543
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:40,079
library uh we talked about the update on
the Hoffman Park mural that we see

544
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:44,720
update we see that it's
progressing we we gave an update on the

545
00:52:43,359 --> 00:52:50,119
message
signs um at The Parks and Recreation

546
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:54,839
meeting uh this upcoming Monday
hopefully um we'll be able to get a

547
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:59,280
final determination on where those
messages signs are going to go um we

548
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:02,680
talked about the great backyard bird
count and as a

549
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:10,880
reminder uh there's going to be a
fabulous event at the library on Tuesday

550
00:53:07,319 --> 00:53:16,520
January 23r I believe it starts at
5:30 um and it's not just in person at

551
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:22,040
the library you can also connect through
Zoom but you have to send an email to um

552
00:53:20,359 --> 00:53:31,720
a particular email address to get the
zoom link and that email address is l a

553
00:53:27,559 --> 00:53:35,599
reference at delcol libraries.org so if
you send an email to that address saying

554
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:40,680
you want a zoom link you can get a zoom
link to this so what the event is on

555
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:45,599
January 23rd is it's going to talk about
how to participate in the great backyard

556
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:51,640
bird count talk about the um the app
that you use when you uh for as little

557
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:55,839
as 15 minutes you either just maybe go
in your backyard or go in a park and

558
00:53:54,200 --> 00:54:00,799
observe the birds
and you'll be able to indicate you know

559
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:06,680
the color of the birds that you see um
like the sounds from the birds and um uh

560
00:54:04,799 --> 00:54:10,440
it's going to be like a really fun
really fun thing to do together as a

561
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:14,599
community and actually we're a part of a
larger International Community because

562
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:19,880
it's happening all around the world
February 16th through 19th but the event

563
00:54:17,839 --> 00:54:25,920
on the 23rd is to just get people up to
speed on how to use the app and how to

564
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:31,240
participate um

00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:43,160
about it at the next environment and
Parks

568
00:54:40,559 --> 00:54:52,640
meeting um there was also some
discussion of um possible uh like green

569
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:56,480
sustainable practices perhaps um in the
facilities plan but I think that should

570
00:54:55,040 --> 00:55:02,640
to be brought forward whenever there's a
meeting about the facilities plan um and

571
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:09,319
the shade tree commission uh their next
meeting is going to be in February they

584
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:26,400
to yes good evening Jennifer
H um regarding downtown the conversation

585
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:30,880
about um so my business is on South
landown Avenue there's three

586
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,520
Park yeah

587
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:53,960
twoing
downtown the parking conversation I'd

588
00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:58,079
like to expand that conversation to have
a plan

589
00:56:55,760 --> 00:57:04,440
with what we think this Central business
district should look like um hitting it

590
00:57:00,799 --> 00:57:10,960
peace meal um will not end well for
businesses like mine uh right now there

591
00:57:07,359 --> 00:57:17,240
are three parking spots on South L 7
Avenue one in front of my building at 23

592
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:25,680
South L Avenue and two across the street
of KS there is not signage to other

593
00:57:21,559 --> 00:57:31,440
parking um at all in the bur really
um it doesn't say where the handicap

594
00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:38,920
parking is um it's not close to the
street um so my my ask is that we really

595
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:44,720
think about this as a as a whole project
not just a parking spots we need signage

596
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:50,000
for parking we need creation of handicap
parking we need evening lighting We have

597
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:56,559
tree pits that are crumbling and need
upgrade so we could tackle the whole

598
00:57:53,720 --> 00:58:02,119
thing that that will be much more
helpful to business like M we talk about

599
00:58:00,119 --> 00:58:08,400
traffic moving through the central
business district I actually want to

600
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:16,760
slow traffic down um it benefits my
business if folks don't hit lands 40

601
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:23,000
miles an hour um it does me no good uh
20 miles an hour nice and slow nice and

602
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:27,200
safe uh really will help the downtown
especially as we add

603
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:32,240
uh apartment
buildings and condos and stuff like that

604
00:58:30,119 --> 00:58:37,200
we will be more Walkers we need to be
very conscious our Park our sidewalks

605
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:41,079
aren't that longde um so we have to be
conscious of it all so that's it

606
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,720
just

607
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:14,359
else I didn't hear what the mayor said I
said that there signs involv

608
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:19,799
infrastructure but this is part of the
way finding you're talking about and I

609
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:24,000
will say that I went to Media the other
day and the one thing I talked to the

610
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:30,520
media for our manager and one thing they
did was they make all of their signage

611
00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:35,799
is consistent so it's all the same color
it's all so when you see it just says

612
00:59:33,319 --> 00:59:40,240
this is the media sign so I think that
that's why it's a really good idea to

613
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:45,920
follow through on that so certainly if
there's anything that we can do in our

614
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:49,760
committee support it but there are
parking signs though for Highland Avenue

615
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:53,640
it's just
right sign but you're right we could do

616
00:59:52,640 --> 01:00:00,440
better
a okay there no like to the municipal

617
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:07,720
lot to
the behind me to St after

618
01:00:04,559 --> 01:00:10,920
hours yeah we can do better
so thank

619
01:00:11,839 --> 01:00:15,760
you any other

620
01:00:18,119 --> 01:00:21,119
comments

621
01:00:23,559 --> 01:00:32,200
yes um I wanted to come in tonight
because it was disconcerning to see what

622
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:39,359
was flying around in the press in the
past week and it was waret to know that

623
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:44,359
it came from within Council
um

624
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:48,599
I first of all I don't like Council
meetings to say what I don't like is I

625
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:52,119
want to be here to share ideas I be here
to work with Council as a citizen to

626
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:57,599
come up with things that we need and
that we like want to get together

627
01:00:55,200 --> 01:01:01,400
um and so I'm hoping that will change
but I wanted to

628
01:00:59,319 --> 01:01:05,000
mention the other thing I don't like to
do is make it seem like it's not about

629
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:08,760
business I don't want to make my
comments seem like they're pointed at a

630
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:13,839
person I come here and I talk about
things like what we're spending on and

631
01:01:11,039 --> 01:01:20,520
what and and why we're doing it how we
can do it um but cover went to and he

632
01:01:18,039 --> 01:01:25,880
talked about
and I don't know how it is economic

633
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:33,119
development to give our town of black
eye by shortly before talking about how

634
01:01:30,039 --> 01:01:37,720
we're violating the sunshine act to have
done almost exactly the same process

635
01:01:36,079 --> 01:01:44,880
step by step with our
par to have executive sessions with no

636
01:01:42,039 --> 01:01:50,640
details printed on the agenda to have
the position eliminated with no public

637
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:56,400
comment and then to very shortly after
go to the press to say wow the executive

638
01:01:54,079 --> 01:02:01,119
session before getting any details and
there was an offer of public comment and

639
01:01:58,799 --> 01:02:06,599
the position was eliminated without
discussion so it's it's disingenuous and

640
01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:13,000
it's dishonest and that's going the end
of my my personal address to council but

641
01:02:09,599 --> 01:02:15,720
that was not in the best interest of the
citizens it was not in the best interest

642
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:21,240
of council it was not in the best
interest of landown to do that um aside

643
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:26,480
from the journalistic Integrity which
was extremely lacking that part of

644
01:02:24,079 --> 01:02:31,240
because the inquire article cly was
written by somebody who's the son of an

645
01:02:28,839 --> 01:02:36,559
editoral writer working at the inquire
who watched one video who took comments

646
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:41,520
from council member hover council member
H's neighbor and council member H's

647
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:47,599
friend from another
bur about lown business which we've had

648
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:50,880
many conversations about lately people
come in our business that's fine when

649
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:54,480
we're deciding on what that business is
and how it works that's for the people

650
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:58,680
of land not for everyone to sit there
and put their finger in our pie and try

651
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:03,799
and figure out how they can get involved
in steering the course of what we who

652
01:03:00,799 --> 01:03:09,000
live here our taxes pay for how this
town Works what we are trying to decide

653
01:03:06,599 --> 01:03:15,119
through our representative government to
do that said I just I'm disappointed and

654
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:19,559
I I hope it doesn't happen again you're
making council member Griffin's job

655
01:03:17,279 --> 01:03:25,319
harder and Comm relations by making it
look like we don't play by the Ws here

656
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:28,760
when you go and do something with that
and so I mean I'm speaking to all

657
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:32,640
Council I'm address the council member
because he's the source of this black

658
01:03:30,039 --> 01:03:36,720
guy that we have to deal with now but
we're trying to improve the town and I

659
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:39,039
hear sometimes that we're trying to
improve the town and then I don't see

660
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:42,039
the
action

661
01:03:47,599 --> 01:03:56,279
so because I that what happened was some
acation I fixing by

662
01:04:00,670 --> 01:04:07,279
[Music]
right way where it's

663
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:12,160
advertised that there was a change that
occurred between the summer

664
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,520
andv Mr

665
01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:29,039
Scott different Provisions for the
sunsh I was not reach out to any

666
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:38,240
press the Press me and I
stated I'm sorry

667
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:38,240
that with that my fidelity is that I

668
01:04:38,559 --> 01:04:47,240
took not just few res but all res so so
make sure that we conduct

669
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:55,119
ourselves I think this is fixing I
appreciate that I think that

670
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:57,880
Safi I
I do my

671
01:05:09,010 --> 01:05:15,880
[Music]
best respectfully you're not concerned

672
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:20,000
with that when you did the exact
opposite you did the opposite of what

673
01:05:23,079 --> 01:05:26,079
you

674
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:35,240
okay yeah so for for me just to make a
quick com I'm moving on from this topic

675
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:39,200
as I mentioned the beginning of my
statement um we the Council made a

676
01:05:37,799 --> 01:05:45,119
decision and that's the decision that
was made I hope that moving forward when

677
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:50,359
Council makes decisions whether we all
agree or we don't agree that we can have

678
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:56,119
one message um because ultimately I may
not agree with what that you may put up

679
01:05:53,039 --> 01:06:03,799
it gets approved have one message and I
I would defin respect that counil to

680
01:05:59,079 --> 01:06:03,799
respecting to choices and opinions

681
01:06:10,039 --> 01:06:20,559
onion any yes I think that spoke with
and they Rec that all media contact the

682
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:26,720
president
um it did um their recommendation sorry

683
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:32,680
their recommendation was that all
council members refer media to the

684
01:06:29,079 --> 01:06:37,200
president um moving forward and and that
has been the recommendation that they've

685
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:44,720
given all of their bur clients and all
of their known bur clients

686
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:49,839
operating that we move forward with that
in to the media directly yeah that's

687
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:55,920
always I've been on Council for two
years that's always been the process so

688
01:06:53,039 --> 01:07:01,119
um it was just a shame that that wasn't
you know that wasn't maintained

689
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:05,240
throughout this process um can make a
motion on that does

690
01:07:09,079 --> 01:07:18,319
fore do we have any other do we have
anyone on line anyone in person any

691
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,319
other comments

692
01:07:18,870 --> 01:07:21,989
[Music]

693
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,920
yes

694
01:07:27,559 --> 01:07:30,319
thank you council

695
01:07:31,279 --> 01:07:40,760
president just wanted to speak about the
parking space Sorry Chief

696
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:47,760
um the uh make a note that when Jennifer
Hoff had stated about the 40 hour speed

697
01:07:43,799 --> 01:07:52,480
is not good for anybody well South L
it's I've said this before the bike

698
01:07:50,839 --> 01:07:59,480
Lanes there is
no uh buffer to condition down the

699
01:07:56,079 --> 01:08:04,559
Raceway TR Dragway you know that's uh
now presented so I mean that's should be

700
01:08:01,559 --> 01:08:12,200
looked at because it is just like a
downhill slide

701
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:19,279
um so also um maybe all this text counil
I mean Council pres had stated that the

702
01:08:16,159 --> 01:08:22,759
the balance in American Reef funds maybe
we could use that for some of the tech

703
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:27,759
upgrades I mean I think that is within
the privy of the money so looked at

704
01:08:26,279 --> 01:08:32,400
because there's a lot of money
needed and it's better to spend it once

705
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:37,279
and spend
enough also um executive session not

706
01:08:35,839 --> 01:08:43,080
sure what the
uh real estate the building is going to

707
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:47,440
be used for I know it's been closed and
it's a shame but I don't know if the

708
01:08:45,719 --> 01:08:53,000
burrow buying is going to open it up for
something is and you know maybe the

709
01:08:49,839 --> 01:08:57,480
Insight after ex session if there's a
vote or not

710
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,480
thank you very

711
01:09:01,279 --> 01:09:04,839
much I'm going in

712
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:16,520
front this may not the appropriate for
for this but I have a question um where

713
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:24,159
our house backs to the r tracks there
and we have a large family of fox that

714
01:09:20,319 --> 01:09:28,920
live back there and they there is a bad
case of Mage that's running to them and

715
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:33,920
these animals are suffering um I've been
trying to get them some antibiotics but

716
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:37,839
they don't want to hold still so I don't
know is there anybody in the bur is

717
01:09:36,159 --> 01:09:44,400
there anybody that's responsible for the
Wildlife that's gonna help treat

718
01:09:40,799 --> 01:09:44,400
them do they just

719
01:09:52,719 --> 01:09:55,719
die

720
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:08,080
but there
is that

721
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:17,480
hand now animal control and that's what
I'm trying to avoid because it's a

722
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:21,960
treatable condition and I know that some
NE and I realized it's a much larger

723
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:25,640
problem than just one fox I there a
couple of wild

724
01:10:31,719 --> 01:10:41,560
injured or need to be really um directed
to some different area and I don't know

725
01:10:37,679 --> 01:10:41,560
the right word the top of my head

726
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:53,840
but thank
you pardon me can I add to that please

727
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:59,880
Carol yeah um I was also thinking what
be helpful is to have like just a

728
01:10:56,719 --> 01:11:04,280
listing of resources on our website um
like there's the skookul the skookle

729
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:09,159
river animal
Rehabilitation uh organization and some

730
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:14,480
other ones that if you do find wildlife
in need of help that you can contact

731
01:11:11,159 --> 01:11:18,000
those organizations as well like um I
know in uh Parks and Recreation had

732
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:23,679
mentioned that a couple of times in
their meetings so uh at The Parks and

733
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:27,679
Recreation meeting on Monday uh we can
talk about it and then bring forward

734
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:30,880
some ideas but to have some resources on
our website would be helpful I think in

735
01:11:29,679 --> 01:11:37,960
cases like
this thank

736
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:37,960

yes thank you um I have received a
notice from cour off law associ those

744
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:30,600
you don't know cour off
W fir that the bual contracts to collect

745
01:12:27,199 --> 01:12:38,480
delinquent taxes trash and Sewer fees
they received notice from the county

746
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:46,000
about um the county about the collecting
agencies remitting to the county 5% fees

747
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:51,679
on collections um when the deliv taxes
are collected the fee reers Tax Claim

748
01:12:48,760 --> 01:13:00,239
buo County for the work they need to
process tax so um P off Associates um

749
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:06,280
sent this to us and we need to start
remitting to the county

750
01:13:02,639 --> 01:13:11,960
5% of the fees that are collected fortov
asked us if we this they need to report

751
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:18,800
back to the county by January
19th they want to know whether or not we

752
01:13:16,440 --> 01:13:25,080
ask P off to remit the commission
directly to the tax plan Bureau which

753
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:31,120
would reduce our collection 5% or
whether we want to charge 5% commission

754
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:36,360
to the delinquent taxpayer which they P
off um conceive may not even be a legal

755
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:43,320
recommendation so I talked about it with
solic Scott and our recommendation is

756
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:49,840
that we just have the tax um 5%
commission paid directly to the Tax

757
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:49,840
Claim Bureau from

758
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:56,280
the very good yes I was prepared

759
01:13:56,320 --> 01:14:08,960
top so so that will be motion later
on any

760
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:16,719
questions I had a question sorry okay so
they this is delinquent tax and they're

761
01:14:12,239 --> 01:14:22,280
collecting it in full forna gets a cut
from the full am so there's two

762
01:14:20,440 --> 01:14:30,679
different
delinquent

763
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:33,679
States okay one I should tax
and

764
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:45,960
tax so bu
$100 and the legal fees are

765
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:56,520
$201
whatever um with taxes it is not

766
01:14:50,280 --> 01:15:01,760
clear so ording off uh collects both tax
and TR this does not affect

767
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:11,400
TR the taxes are subject tax colle tax
statute to this

768
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:20,639
ability it's not clear pass no I
understand that Tak a cup you not take a

769
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:27,360
cup
cup

770
01:15:22,199 --> 01:15:32,040
so set the whole amount of tax back with
interest and they cost on time so my

771
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:47,480
$100 they don't C have a charge which
goes on top of what so we now will not

772
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:55,199
be getting $100 we'll be getting $100
95% that's so and what is it that the

773
01:15:52,400 --> 01:16:02,560
county does for to earn that 5% so they
run the annual judicial sale sales they

774
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:09,320
run all the tax sales that
are those deadlines would cause people

775
01:16:06,199 --> 01:16:16,120
to okay and they this
County um for whatever reason most

776
01:16:12,719 --> 01:16:18,840
counties in the state collect this 5%
counties did

777
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:30,120
not
