as well as the community being heard I
[8:09] know this won't be easy but I'm
committed to making it happen um that
[8:13] was a part of the reason why I wanted to
run is because I wanted to have more
[8:17] collaboration on counsil I also wanted
to have more Community Ino and that's
[8:21] going to be my goal moving forward this
year now as you know um it was a couple
[8:26] articles written regarding the B manager

before we solicit any um one apply for
[10:42] any position we need to have a job
description specifically for the

think and that's been discussed in one

plan on the higher process after that

[19:35] finance report thank you y I'll try to
be as brief as I can but a lot has
[19:41] happened in the finance and the
technology
[19:45] committee um first uh outdating for the
veterans Landing project pass our
[19:49] committee we agreed for the council for
vote to submit the RFP to be created by
[19:53] the B engineer and receed final
transformity the goal was put out the
[19:58] RFP in February and the final goal is to
complete work by the end of September
[20:03] before the opening of the landown
theater we will not have final cost
[20:07] until the RFP is in and the contractor
chosen but the majority or all of funds
[20:12] should be available via grants as we
have to pay up front and then get
[20:16] reimbursed with grants we will have to
watch for our cash flow before 2024
[20:20] taxes are
paid moving into new business uh we were
[20:24] going to have a 2024 budget review but
it was table pending last go of December
[20:29] being entered and entry of the 2024
budget into the accounting system so we
[20:34] will be taking that on first thing of
February uh the bur manager job
[20:38] description as I mentioned uh we're
creating first track with that right now
[20:42] from the existing uh landan and other
examples including the B L um to
[20:49] circulate to uh the committee and B
manager and the council as a first step
[20:54] and also as I mentioned we are going to
be um uh Contracting with certain
[21:00] services that will help us increase the
diversity of our
[21:04] applicants um a review of burough
staffing needs is being taken on by
[21:08] council person young she's going to
create a first draft of that for the
[21:12] burough office
staff um bur it advisor our committee
[21:17] recommends to continue using wellstone
technology stting this transition to
[21:20] facilitate updates to technology over
the next 3 to six months they're going
[21:25] to move to contracted services from
power of the billing
[21:28] we've asked' asked to do that um this
contract will be reviewed by committee
[21:32] at the first February meeting and I am
had
[21:37] consulted regarding status and
was the committee recommends to put it
[21:43] service out for rmp after the initial
updates are
[21:49] confed uh in terms of Technology
upgrades for Council we are going to
[21:53] recommend Research into purchase and
setup of up to 10 Chromebooks or similar
[21:58] for use by bur Council seven of those
the mayor one of those and the
[22:02] facilities one for the meeting room and
one for the 20th century Club as well as
[22:07] lock boxes for the 20th century Club
Tech this is to ensure the adequate
[22:11] technology is provided for Simplicity
and safety the bur of information um the
[22:16] bur manager will be with the library
regarding a checkout form for
[22:20] Signature um the committee recommends
Research into purchase and set up of
[22:24] microphone and speaker technology in the
meeting room and in the 20th century
[22:28] Club to ensure adequate sounding agement
on zoom and again I want to add my
[22:32] thanks to the Mayors for your patience
we're very eager to get all these worked
[22:37] out technology has been key in that but
the equipment we were left it with is
[22:42] just very uh difficult to use and sync
so um uh bear with us and hopefully
[22:50] tonight is is a a good example of lot of
improvement and we'll continue to
[22:54] improve until we can make a full a full
s
[22:59] up um we also recommend Research into
ethernet access here at the 20th century
[23:05] Club to ensure hybrid duties can be
adequately held uh these old buildings
[23:09] have very thick walls and cannot uh you
know the wireless cannot get through to
[23:15] where we need it to be so we'll be
looking into that and we also recommend
[23:19] Research into using SharePoint or
similar for storing and sharing records
[23:23] by bur staff and Council and mayor
because Google Docs is simply not secure
[23:28] and um this would be the easiest easiest
way to facilitate sharing uh important
[23:35] documents we're uh we were going to have
technology training for Council this
[23:39] evening before our meeting but
unfortunately bur all had other ideas so
[23:44] um we will look to reschedule that uh
and the burrow website refresh we are um
[23:51] uh looking
into well we had an initial meeting with
[23:55] Danel L on 112 to talk about about that
um the agenda included uh the contract
[24:02] process and operations and the initial
desire for website reorganization to be
[24:06] more user friendly and I'll talk a bit
more about that in other business uh we
[24:11] did have that initial meeting with
dandel uh and we learned that the Civic
[24:15] plus Civic plus platform on which the
website is based and on which many
[24:20] burrow websites are based can be
improved but to achieve media life
[24:24] results we need the update to Civics
plus need which at a additional cost of
[24:30] course wellstone technology is
investigating the cost and Dand line can
[24:34] support the migration for $5,000 and it
takes about three months uh I need to
[24:40] talk about this with committee but my
personal recommendation is that we uh
[24:44] update uh as best we can this year and
plan for funds next year for this update
[24:51] um currently homepage items are
optimized based on the frequency of
[24:55] searches and visits so I wanted to make
that clear here there are currently
[24:59] unused modules that we can investigate
such as linking the agenda center with
[25:03] calendars and also having multiple
calendars for facilities which we should
[25:08] uh take on as quickly as possible and
those are included in the
[25:12] contract um there uh and that will
improve navigation somewhat and and ease
[25:17] a finding
information Danel will create a proposal
[25:22] for utilizing the facilities platform we
and recommended that we have a local
[25:26] photographer take picks of facilities
around town for use on the site of
[25:30] social media and also they recommended
the short phone videos from council
[25:35] members of burrow events would be social
media hits uh so I just wanted to part
[25:40] that with the council um for the burrow
calendar Danel lion recommends not
[25:45] having nonb items on the burrow calendar
for these reasons adding a nonprofit or
[25:50] business event to the government
calendar could lead to objections from
[25:54] organizations that are not listed an
organization could find himself in
[25:58] trouble at some point either financially
or with the law and having that
[26:02] organization's event on the official
government calendar could lead legal
[26:05] issues um residents view the calendar to
find out about upcoming meetings and
[26:10] burough sponsored events and it's
confusing to see nonprofit or other
[26:14] organization events on a calendar that
is specifically worked as a local
[26:18] government calendar these Community
organization events should be added by
[26:22] the LC and are added by the LC to their
calendar and they're usually very good
[26:26] about doing that and what we can do is
have a link to the calendar on our bur
[26:33] calendar uh that will be my
recommendation and recommendation as I
[26:37] mentioned of our of our contractor Dan L
they also noted that none of their other
[26:41] Municipal clients add community events
that are not sponsored or hosted by them
[26:45] to their calendar for all the reasons
listed
[26:50] previously um we are going to propose
that dandelion and wistone Technologies
[26:57] get 15 to 20 minute presentations to
council either in advance of the first
[27:01] February meeting three questions or
during the council meeting so I'll be
[27:06] reaching out to president Curry about
including that in the agenda um we would
[27:10] like to create a technical board
subcommittee to include members of the
[27:14] community to help support our
initiatives um Zoom is still a security
[27:19] risk although we have seen improvements
in blocking Zoom bombing which I'm very
[27:23] grateful for um invest we're
investigating C and the compatibility of
[27:28] the government platform swag it which is
packaged within a technology uh for
[27:34] example how the accounts UNS are run uh
again I don't know that that is going to
[27:40] be in the budget for this year but we're
investigating now for planning for
[27:44] teaches um we're now making use of the
website front page Banner for day-to-day
[27:49] information such as road closing
movement of tonight's meeting Etc and
[27:53] for pushing out social media as well Dan
does get aqua closure info for that
[27:59] purpose we need to confirm the holiday
calendar with d line and I will sending
[28:03] that to the community relations
committee um monitoring social media and
[28:08] other the non-private groups is part of
D L's
[28:12] contract uh please to the council send
any ideas for articles uh one uh uh
[28:19] suggestion by Dy that I thought was
great was to do bios of each council
[28:23] member and they would take on uh calling
and interviewing each person for those
[28:28] AOS put a photo up on the site and we
agreed to have monthly 30 minute
[28:33] checkins with d manager the tech chair
and my team consultant as well as ad
[28:40] M thank you for putting up with me
through that
[28:51] very I have one question I know
that sorry I know that
[28:58] talk about utilizing QR code to list
events and I'm curious to know obviously
[29:04] this would be intend with the LC so the
LC need to be agreeable but if we can
[29:09] tie their events and our events together
someplace so that when somebody does
[29:14] scan the QR code they get a
comprehensive list of everything that's
[29:18] happening I think that even if even if
it's not on a counter maybe it's just a
[29:22] landing page but some place that where
if we do utilize those QR codes someone
[29:27] stands it that they'll see a
comprehensive list not just here's where
[29:32] gr accounts are and here's art on other
so anything can do to make that more
[29:39] single stream no that's a great idea as
I mentioned itend the short term and by
[29:45] the way I have the QR codes on my list
they just did make the report today
[29:49] because they're more three to six month
initiatives um uh when you go to the
[29:55] burrow calendar you will have a link to
the LC c as well and looking to see if
[30:02] there's a way to streamline that even
further but at the very least they will
[30:05] see the link to go to the LC as thank
[30:11] you to
[30:21] answer that was the idea that you could
have that place so it's not necessarily
[30:26] Bur counil
events meetings but the actual
[30:31] events then also any of the down as well
the ledc events as well that
[30:39] IDE sort of a separate Cal just
for Asos to
[30:46] necessarily that might
that that
[30:52] contract okay we
[30:56] inves
[31:07] you stated in the beginning about the
mb5
[31:09] design the amount
of the amount of work no the design I
[31:16] then jump in here if I get something
wrong um my understanding is the design
[31:20] is paid for it just wasn't completed yet
to hand off to but out an RFP for the
[31:26] construction
[31:30] thank
[31:33] you
question thank thank you
[31:39] next yes good
evening uh this is my January 2024
[31:45] report so under sewers we have an
approval for an American Investment plan
[31:51] act funds for sewer project and we will
be submitting the paperwork to get that
[31:56] done uh we are looking at some Paving
projects one in particular with the
[32:02] possibility that the Farmers Market has
to be moved due the to the construction
[32:07] on Veterans landing and Highland Avenue
parking lot is the the Highland Avenue
[32:13] parking lot is being inspected for
possible
[32:17] pitfalls uh there may be some routine
maintenance required I as the bur
[32:23] engineer and the burrow Public Works
director to take a look and see if
[32:27] there's anything you can do to make that
a better situation there are no trash or
[32:32] recycling concerns our recycling
contract ends at the end of this year so
[32:38] that we have to just put on our to-do
list and but we do want you to all
[32:43] remember to reduce reuse and recycle it
still costs us less to recycle product
[32:49] than it does to grow it away uh yard
waste is going to be back in form I'm
[32:56] sure after the snow Christmas tree that
you still hav't thrown yours away they
[33:01] are yard way there's no separate pickup
just make sure that they are free of
[33:06] inorganic material the street signs Mr
Matson do you want to update the street
[33:16] SS we contracted with a company called
state sence it was last year and they
[33:22] had received everything they did s us we
just haven't received the signs
[33:30] I'm that we would have to have signs at
this
[33:34] point we hav't I to our
contact old fashion before we pay
[33:42] we I'm with you all right under
facilties the I the bur under the bur
[33:50] Hall the new generator is ready to go
pending P construction I didn't know we
[33:56] would not happen heat when this was done
um and a point of interest Mr jaak
[34:03] suggested the purchase of a really
powerful generator that will not only
[34:07] satisfy the building needs in the event
of a power aage but also provide Power
[34:14] to even Chargers should the burrow start
addad electric vehicles to its Fleet in
[34:20] the 2020 house the ledc is requesting
security cameras for the property the
[34:26] issue there is that there's no internet
in the building and the wifi they have
[34:32] is from this building and we just
discussed in B committee that it's too
[34:37] much so we're going to be figuring out
the cost to upgrade so that we can use
[34:43] the building better uh the Public Works
director will will be providing
[34:48] information oh this on the bur yard that
we need to do a garage redo apparently
[34:54] our equipment is not fit in our current
garages and so removing one section of
[35:00] the building and replacing it with a
pole barn to structure would solve that
[35:06] problem so we're going to be looking
into doing that it shouldn't be that
[35:10] expensive because we don't need to have
any utilities in that section of the
[35:15] building uh the committee is asking for
a proposal from the director for further
[35:21] review as mentioned and there is by Mr
Madson and there's also a motion the
[35:28] firehouse needs Heating units and the
vote from the committee was to
[35:34] replace them all with 93% efficiency
heaters there had been the original
[35:40] approval was for three heaters but the
fourth one is on its last leg so that's
[35:46] why we're asking to just let's just do
the whole project and get it done at one
[35:51] time uh codes now under my my uh
committee and the codes director
[35:57] submitted some documents to the
committee one was a code stat summary
[36:03] and and a Comm cumulative report we're
talking about redoing that a little bit
[36:09] so that we can make more sense and he
also supplied the committee with meeting
[36:14] dates and agendas for all the historic
Architectural Review Board and the
[36:18] zoning Theory Board and the Planning
Commission and I sent
[36:24] a i oh I sent copies I think I sent
copies of that report to all the council
[36:31] members for them to see but if I didn't
I will there's building permits pending
[36:36] for Dudley Avenue the Habitat for
Humanity project and the Baltimore
[36:41] Avenue W Avenue cahan board
project he's also helping us with
[36:47] problem properties reports resident
should feel free to report concerns they
[36:52] have around properties around the burrow
such as empty buildings overr vegetation
[36:57] or questionable activity this can be
done easily and confidentially on the
[37:02] website under the submit of request
navigation and report of building
[37:07] concern our ordinance requires that any
baby property be registered with haa
[37:13] which keeps track of all of them and
helps us manage that Hera is a registry
[37:18] platform used by municipalities and
government agencies Across the Nation to
[37:22] help combat the problems caused by
vacant and abandoned property there is
[37:27] no cost to the Community Care is
completely free for local government uh
[37:33] properties that are vacant and abandon
have a detrimental detrimental impact on
[37:37] the community including maintenance
inses and inviting criminal activity and
[37:43] the case where property owners are out
of state or property is undergoing
[37:47] foreclosure it's often difficult to
notice the responsible party for
[37:51] violations and maintain the necessary
level of Maintenance and security so
[37:56] it's not a huge concern in the burough
but during public comment in environment
[38:01] and Parks the situation was addressed
had someone come and talk with a public
[38:07] comment suggesting that there's some
issues written in their neighborhood
[38:11] with litter and boarded up building and
they just wanted us to be aware of it so
[38:18] I that's why I brought it to the
attention of the codes director and we
[38:22] also had some complaints about litter
and trash at the Dollar Tree lot and the
[38:26] CBS and our codes director reported that
they routinely site those
[38:32] businesses under our on boards the hars
next meeting is January 25th 7M for a
[38:39] hall to discuss signning at 94 Lon
Avenue the zoning hearing board is
[38:45] meeting January
24th uh uh 7M about 123 nyag variances
[38:53] on a garage and 98 McKinley variances on
set backs for a new house and that is
[39:00] all I
[39:03] have
[39:07] questions thank you thank you move on to

position at next month's burough council
[51:16] meeting I'd like to bring forth um a
motion to approve this person to be on
[51:21] the
EAC um
[51:25] we also talked about um other vacancies
parks and wreck has many vacancies so if
[51:32] there's anyone interested in being on
the Parks and Recreation board there are
[51:36] many openings we also gave an update on
Community Choice
[51:41] aggregation that's um that's the when we
can get a source of a green
[51:47] electricity we're combining forces with
other
[51:51] municipalities and um there's a
discussion with the public Utilities
[51:55] Commission so we'll we'll know more in
the next several weeks about that we
[52:00] talked about the timeline of the single
use plastic bag and single use plastic
[52:04] straw ordinance and the timeline for
that we want to send out a survey
[52:09] shortly and then we'll want to engage um
business owners just kind of get them up
[52:17] to speed on like what the idea is and
then have uh at least three public
[52:22] meetings one of them would be completely
through through Zoom
[52:25] one of them would be in person and the
other one would be combined with perhaps
[52:30] some kind of like a children's program
at the
[52:33] library uh we talked about the update on
the Hoffman Park mural that we see
[52:38] update we see that it's
progressing we we gave an update on the
[52:43] message
signs um at The Parks and Recreation
[52:47] meeting uh this upcoming Monday
hopefully um we'll be able to get a
[52:53] final determination on where those
messages signs are going to go um we
[52:57] talked about the great backyard bird
count and as a
[53:00] reminder uh there's going to be a
fabulous event at the library on Tuesday
[53:07] January 23r I believe it starts at
5:30 um and it's not just in person at
[53:14] the library you can also connect through
Zoom but you have to send an email to um
[53:20] a particular email address to get the
zoom link and that email address is l a
[53:27] reference at delcol libraries.org so if
you send an email to that address saying
[53:33] you want a zoom link you can get a zoom
link to this so what the event is on
[53:37] January 23rd is it's going to talk about
how to participate in the great backyard
[53:42] bird count talk about the um the app
that you use when you uh for as little
[53:48] as 15 minutes you either just maybe go
in your backyard or go in a park and
[53:54] observe the birds
and you'll be able to indicate you know
[53:57] the color of the birds that you see um
like the sounds from the birds and um uh
[54:04] it's going to be like a really fun
really fun thing to do together as a
[54:08] community and actually we're a part of a
larger International Community because
[54:12] it's happening all around the world
February 16th through 19th but the event
[54:17] on the 23rd is to just get people up to
speed on how to use the app and how to
[54:22] participate um
we also talked about
[54:28] um uh we have a white paper about
electric vehicle charging the committee
[54:34] the environment Parks committee is
currently reviewing that we'll talk
[54:37] about it at the next environment and
Parks
[54:40] meeting um there was also some
discussion of um possible uh like green
[54:49] sustainable practices perhaps um in the
facilities plan but I think that should
[54:55] to be brought forward whenever there's a
meeting about the facilities plan um and
[55:00] the shade tree commission uh their next
meeting is going to be in February they
[55:03] didn't meet this month um I think that
that's all for my
[55:11] report thank you m marel you have any
question M
[55:18] marel we will now move into public
comment um I would like to take a motion
[55:24] to suspend
thank you
[55:29] Mr the motion has been moved in second
all in
[55:33] favor the motion has passed we are now
in public comment um I just ask that
[55:38] please state your name and place of
residence or record please to response
[55:43] for five minutes or less I will move
back between in person and also online
[55:49] um would anyone in person like to
address president may I something
[55:55] quickly um online you need to put your
comment in chat to be read out is that
[56:01] correct
a that oh we just that yes sorry if they
[56:08] raise their hand should be able
[56:12] to yes good evening Jennifer
H um regarding downtown the conversation
[56:22] about um so my business is on South
landown Avenue there's three
[56:31] Park yeah
[56:46] twoing
downtown the parking conversation I'd
[56:50] like to expand that conversation to have
a plan
[56:55] with what we think this Central business
district should look like um hitting it
[57:00] peace meal um will not end well for
businesses like mine uh right now there
[57:07] are three parking spots on South L 7
Avenue one in front of my building at 23
[57:14] South L Avenue and two across the street
of KS there is not signage to other
[57:21] parking um at all in the bur really
um it doesn't say where the handicap
[57:27] parking is um it's not close to the
street um so my my ask is that we really
[57:35] think about this as a as a whole project
not just a parking spots we need signage
[57:42] for parking we need creation of handicap
parking we need evening lighting We have
[57:47] tree pits that are crumbling and need
upgrade so we could tackle the whole
[57:53] thing that that will be much more
helpful to business like M we talk about
[58:00] traffic moving through the central
business district I actually want to
[58:04] slow traffic down um it benefits my
business if folks don't hit lands 40
[58:12] miles an hour um it does me no good uh
20 miles an hour nice and slow nice and
[58:19] safe uh really will help the downtown
especially as we add
[58:25] uh apartment
buildings and condos and stuff like that
[58:30] we will be more Walkers we need to be
very conscious our Park our sidewalks
[58:34] aren't that longde um so we have to be
conscious of it all so that's it
[58:53] just
[59:05] else I didn't hear what the mayor said I
said that there signs involv
[59:12] infrastructure but this is part of the
way finding you're talking about and I
[59:17] will say that I went to Media the other
day and the one thing I talked to the
[59:21] media for our manager and one thing they
did was they make all of their signage
[59:27] is consistent so it's all the same color
it's all so when you see it just says
[59:33] this is the media sign so I think that
that's why it's a really good idea to
[59:37] follow through on that so certainly if
there's anything that we can do in our
[59:41] committee support it but there are
parking signs though for Highland Avenue
[59:48] it's just
right sign but you're right we could do
[59:52] better
a okay there no like to the municipal
[59:58] lot to
the behind me to St after
[1:00:04] hours yeah we can do better
so thank
[1:00:11] you any other
[1:00:18] comments
[1:00:23] yes um I wanted to come in tonight
because it was disconcerning to see what
[1:00:29] was flying around in the press in the
past week and it was waret to know that
[1:00:36] it came from within Council
um
[1:00:41] I first of all I don't like Council
meetings to say what I don't like is I
[1:00:46] want to be here to share ideas I be here
to work with Council as a citizen to
[1:00:50] come up with things that we need and
that we like want to get together
[1:00:55] um and so I'm hoping that will change
but I wanted to
[1:00:59] mention the other thing I don't like to
do is make it seem like it's not about
[1:01:03] business I don't want to make my
comments seem like they're pointed at a
[1:01:06] person I come here and I talk about
things like what we're spending on and
[1:01:11] what and and why we're doing it how we
can do it um but cover went to and he
[1:01:18] talked about
and I don't know how it is economic
[1:01:23] development to give our town of black
eye by shortly before talking about how
[1:01:30] we're violating the sunshine act to have
done almost exactly the same process
[1:01:36] step by step with our
par to have executive sessions with no
[1:01:42] details printed on the agenda to have
the position eliminated with no public
[1:01:47] comment and then to very shortly after
go to the press to say wow the executive
[1:01:54] session before getting any details and
there was an offer of public comment and
[1:01:58] the position was eliminated without
discussion so it's it's disingenuous and
[1:02:04] it's dishonest and that's going the end
of my my personal address to council but
[1:02:09] that was not in the best interest of the
citizens it was not in the best interest
[1:02:14] of council it was not in the best
interest of landown to do that um aside
[1:02:19] from the journalistic Integrity which
was extremely lacking that part of
[1:02:24] because the inquire article cly was
written by somebody who's the son of an
[1:02:28] editoral writer working at the inquire
who watched one video who took comments
[1:02:34] from council member hover council member
H's neighbor and council member H's
[1:02:39] friend from another
bur about lown business which we've had
[1:02:44] many conversations about lately people
come in our business that's fine when
[1:02:49] we're deciding on what that business is
and how it works that's for the people
[1:02:52] of land not for everyone to sit there
and put their finger in our pie and try
[1:02:56] and figure out how they can get involved
in steering the course of what we who
[1:03:00] live here our taxes pay for how this
town Works what we are trying to decide
[1:03:06] through our representative government to
do that said I just I'm disappointed and
[1:03:13] I I hope it doesn't happen again you're
making council member Griffin's job
[1:03:17] harder and Comm relations by making it
look like we don't play by the Ws here
[1:03:21] when you go and do something with that
and so I mean I'm speaking to all
[1:03:27] Council I'm address the council member
because he's the source of this black
[1:03:30] guy that we have to deal with now but
we're trying to improve the town and I
[1:03:34] hear sometimes that we're trying to
improve the town and then I don't see
[1:03:38] the
action
[1:03:47] so because I that what happened was some
acation I fixing by
[1:04:00] [Music]
right way where it's
[1:04:04] advertised that there was a change that
occurred between the summer
[1:04:12] andv Mr
[1:04:17] Scott different Provisions for the
sunsh I was not reach out to any
[1:04:24] press the Press me and I
stated I'm sorry
[1:04:32] that with that my fidelity is that I
[1:04:38] took not just few res but all res so so
make sure that we conduct
[1:04:44] ourselves I think this is fixing I
appreciate that I think that
[1:04:51] Safi I
I do my
[1:05:09] [Music]
best respectfully you're not concerned
[1:05:13] with that when you did the exact
opposite you did the opposite of what
[1:05:23] you
[1:05:28] okay yeah so for for me just to make a
quick com I'm moving on from this topic
[1:05:33] as I mentioned the beginning of my
statement um we the Council made a
[1:05:37] decision and that's the decision that
was made I hope that moving forward when
[1:05:42] Council makes decisions whether we all
agree or we don't agree that we can have
[1:05:47] one message um because ultimately I may
not agree with what that you may put up
[1:05:53] it gets approved have one message and I
I would defin respect that counil to
[1:05:59] respecting to choices and opinions
[1:06:10] onion any yes I think that spoke with
and they Rec that all media contact the
[1:06:18] president
um it did um their recommendation sorry
[1:06:24] their recommendation was that all
council members refer media to the
[1:06:29] president um moving forward and and that
has been the recommendation that they've
[1:06:34] given all of their bur clients and all
of their known bur clients
[1:06:41] operating that we move forward with that
in to the media directly yeah that's
[1:06:48] always I've been on Council for two
years that's always been the process so
[1:06:53] um it was just a shame that that wasn't
you know that wasn't maintained
[1:06:57] throughout this process um can make a
motion on that does
[1:07:09] fore do we have any other do we have
anyone on line anyone in person any
[1:07:14] other comments
[1:07:18] [Music]
[1:07:22] yes
[1:07:27] thank you council
[1:07:31] president just wanted to speak about the
parking space Sorry Chief
[1:07:36] um the uh make a note that when Jennifer
Hoff had stated about the 40 hour speed
[1:07:43] is not good for anybody well South L
it's I've said this before the bike
[1:07:50] Lanes there is
no uh buffer to condition down the
[1:07:56] Raceway TR Dragway you know that's uh
now presented so I mean that's should be
[1:08:01] looked at because it is just like a
downhill slide
[1:08:07] um so also um maybe all this text counil
I mean Council pres had stated that the
[1:08:16] the balance in American Reef funds maybe
we could use that for some of the tech
[1:08:20] upgrades I mean I think that is within
the privy of the money so looked at
[1:08:26] because there's a lot of money
needed and it's better to spend it once
[1:08:30] and spend
enough also um executive session not
[1:08:35] sure what the
uh real estate the building is going to
[1:08:40] be used for I know it's been closed and
it's a shame but I don't know if the
[1:08:45] burrow buying is going to open it up for
something is and you know maybe the
[1:08:49] Insight after ex session if there's a
vote or not
[1:08:55] thank you very
[1:09:01] much I'm going in
[1:09:07] front this may not the appropriate for
for this but I have a question um where
[1:09:13] our house backs to the r tracks there
and we have a large family of fox that
[1:09:20] live back there and they there is a bad
case of Mage that's running to them and
[1:09:26] these animals are suffering um I've been
trying to get them some antibiotics but
[1:09:30] they don't want to hold still so I don't
know is there anybody in the bur is
[1:09:36] there anybody that's responsible for the
Wildlife that's gonna help treat
[1:09:40] them do they just
[1:09:52] die
[1:10:02] but there
is that
[1:10:09] hand now animal control and that's what
I'm trying to avoid because it's a
[1:10:14] treatable condition and I know that some
NE and I realized it's a much larger
[1:10:19] problem than just one fox I there a
couple of wild
[1:10:31] injured or need to be really um directed
to some different area and I don't know
[1:10:37] the right word the top of my head
[1:10:42] but thank
you pardon me can I add to that please
[1:10:50] Carol yeah um I was also thinking what
be helpful is to have like just a
[1:10:56] listing of resources on our website um
like there's the skookul the skookle
[1:11:02] river animal
Rehabilitation uh organization and some
[1:11:06] other ones that if you do find wildlife
in need of help that you can contact
[1:11:11] those organizations as well like um I
know in uh Parks and Recreation had
[1:11:16] mentioned that a couple of times in
their meetings so uh at The Parks and
[1:11:20] Recreation meeting on Monday uh we can
talk about it and then bring forward
[1:11:25] some ideas but to have some resources on
our website would be helpful I think in
[1:11:29] cases like
this thank
[1:11:32] you thank you awesome
[1:11:38] app we have
[Music]
[1:11:47] other anyone else in the room
comment right seeing there's no more
[1:11:54] public comment I would like to take a
motion to resume Robert board uh would
[1:11:59] someone like to make that motion
seven for the motion was move at second
[1:12:05] all in favor I all right the motion has
passed we will now move into
[1:12:11] business
[1:12:15] yes thank you um I have received a
notice from cour off law associ those
[1:12:22] you don't know cour off
W fir that the bual contracts to collect
[1:12:27] delinquent taxes trash and Sewer fees
they received notice from the county
[1:12:33] about um the county about the collecting
agencies remitting to the county 5% fees
[1:12:42] on collections um when the deliv taxes
are collected the fee reers Tax Claim
[1:12:48] buo County for the work they need to
process tax so um P off Associates um
[1:12:57] sent this to us and we need to start
remitting to the county
[1:13:02] 5% of the fees that are collected fortov
asked us if we this they need to report
[1:13:09] back to the county by January
19th they want to know whether or not we
[1:13:16] ask P off to remit the commission
directly to the tax plan Bureau which
[1:13:21] would reduce our collection 5% or
whether we want to charge 5% commission
[1:13:27] to the delinquent taxpayer which they P
off um conceive may not even be a legal
[1:13:34] recommendation so I talked about it with
solic Scott and our recommendation is
[1:13:39] that we just have the tax um 5%
commission paid directly to the Tax
[1:13:46] Claim Bureau from
[1:13:50] the very good yes I was prepared
[1:13:56] top so so that will be motion later
on any
[1:14:03] questions I had a question sorry okay so
they this is delinquent tax and they're
[1:14:12] collecting it in full forna gets a cut
from the full am so there's two
[1:14:20] different
delinquent
[1:14:24] States okay one I should tax
and
[1:14:37] tax so bu
$100 and the legal fees are
[1:14:43] $201
whatever um with taxes it is not
[1:14:50] clear so ording off uh collects both tax
and TR this does not affect
[1:15:02] TR the taxes are subject tax colle tax
statute to this
[1:15:11] ability it's not clear pass no I
understand that Tak a cup you not take a
[1:15:18] cup
cup
[1:15:22] so set the whole amount of tax back with
interest and they cost on time so my
[1:15:36] $100 they don't C have a charge which
goes on top of what so we now will not
[1:15:44] be getting $100 we'll be getting $100
95% that's so and what is it that the
[1:15:52] county does for to earn that 5% so they
run the annual judicial sale sales they
[1:15:59] run all the tax sales that
are those deadlines would cause people
[1:16:06] to okay and they this
County um for whatever reason most
[1:16:12] counties in the state collect this 5%
counties did
[1:16:22] not
okay all right I just wanted to be clear
[1:16:26] how that thank you so
