1
00:00:02,187 --> 00:00:03,405
I declare the meeting

2
00:00:03,405 --> 00:00:05,959
open for What do

3
00:00:05,959 --> 00:00:07,049
we have today?

4
00:00:07,049 --> 00:00:08,714
Tuesday, Monday,

5
00:00:08,714 --> 00:00:10,039
September 21. It's okay

6
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,188
. I, I was

7
00:00:11,188 --> 00:00:12,587
confused for a moment.

8
00:00:12,587 --> 00:00:13,832
I'll probably ask

9
00:00:13,832 --> 00:00:16,752
George Hackney.

10
00:00:16,752 --> 00:00:17,576
I pledge

11
00:00:17,576 --> 00:00:18,631
allegiance to the flag of the

12
00:00:18,631 --> 00:00:19,753
United States of

13
00:00:19,753 --> 00:00:21,072
America and to the republic for which it

14
00:00:21,072 --> 00:00:22,127
stands,

15
00:00:22,127 --> 00:00:23,413
one nation under God

16
00:00:23,413 --> 00:00:24,436
, indivisible, with

17
00:00:24,436 --> 00:00:25,161
liberty and

18
00:00:25,161 --> 00:00:26,349
justice for

19
00:00:26,349 --> 00:00:28,928
all.

20
00:00:28,928 --> 00:00:30,352
I saw "Tuesday"

21
00:00:30,352 --> 00:00:31,804
and my brain malfunctioned.

22
00:00:31,804 --> 00:00:33,102
I forgot to change the date

23
00:00:33,102 --> 00:00:35,973
from Tuesday to Wednesday.

24
00:00:35,973 --> 00:00:37,219
Sabrina, let's let

25
00:00:37,219 --> 00:00:38,003
Mr. Cherokee

26
00:00:38,003 --> 00:00:39,320
pray for us, and

27
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,020
then we'll begin.

28
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:44,346
Lord, will

29
00:00:44,346 --> 00:00:45,848
Your blessing help us?

30
00:00:45,948 --> 00:00:49,206
Certainly.

31
00:00:49,206 --> 00:00:50,645
Let's all pray together.

32
00:00:50,645 --> 00:00:51,883
Gracious Lord,

33
00:00:51,883 --> 00:00:53,189
we want to thank

34
00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:54,293
You and praise

35
00:00:54,293 --> 00:00:55,298
You for

36
00:00:55,298 --> 00:00:56,469
raising up men and

37
00:00:56,469 --> 00:00:57,808
women who are willing to serve

38
00:00:57,808 --> 00:01:00,326
in the government of our city.

39
00:01:00,326 --> 00:01:01,354
We ask for Your

40
00:01:01,354 --> 00:01:02,416
blessing and

41
00:01:02,416 --> 00:01:03,643
protection for them, for

42
00:01:03,643 --> 00:01:04,838
this community, their

43
00:01:04,838 --> 00:01:05,900
homes, families, and

44
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,000
livelihoods.

45
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,099
And we also ask for

46
00:01:09,099 --> 00:01:10,328
Your blessing

47
00:01:10,328 --> 00:01:11,330
for all who are

48
00:01:11,330 --> 00:01:14,283
gathered here. May everyone

49
00:01:14,283 --> 00:01:15,266
continue to

50
00:01:15,266 --> 00:01:16,446
give generously of their time,

51
00:01:16,446 --> 00:01:17,626
talents, efforts, and

52
00:01:17,626 --> 00:01:18,478
opportunities to

53
00:01:18,478 --> 00:01:21,781
serve this community.

54
00:01:21,781 --> 00:01:22,906
Guide them here with

55
00:01:22,906 --> 00:01:25,075
your Holy Spirit.

56
00:01:25,075 --> 00:01:25,718
May their

57
00:01:25,718 --> 00:01:26,618
deliberations and

58
00:01:26,618 --> 00:01:27,744
decisions be for the

59
00:01:27,744 --> 00:01:28,869
common good and

60
00:01:28,869 --> 00:01:29,995
righteous in Your

61
00:01:29,995 --> 00:01:33,442
sight. In controversial

62
00:01:33,442 --> 00:01:34,564
matters, grant them

63
00:01:34,564 --> 00:01:35,653
the ability to see

64
00:01:35,653 --> 00:01:36,979
beyond their own opinions,

65
00:01:36,979 --> 00:01:38,102
considering what is

66
00:01:38,102 --> 00:01:39,224
best for this

67
00:01:39,224 --> 00:01:43,319
community and its people.

68
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,614
Help us make

69
00:01:44,614 --> 00:01:45,843
this community, this world, a

70
00:01:45,843 --> 00:01:46,707
better place

71
00:01:46,707 --> 00:01:47,637
through our

72
00:01:47,637 --> 00:01:50,615
service. And we

73
00:01:50,615 --> 00:01:51,925
humbly ask for

74
00:01:51,925 --> 00:01:53,168
success in these matters,

75
00:01:53,168 --> 00:01:54,478
not for our glory

76
00:01:54,478 --> 00:01:58,960
, but for Yours. We

77
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,230
pray this for

78
00:02:00,230 --> 00:02:01,360
our city, for

79
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,383
Grayson County, the

80
00:02:02,383 --> 00:02:03,336
Commonwealth of

81
00:02:03,336 --> 00:02:04,430
Kentucky, and this

82
00:02:04,430 --> 00:02:05,560
nation, men,

83
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,724
women, and children, that

84
00:02:06,724 --> 00:02:08,101
godliness,

85
00:02:08,101 --> 00:02:09,512
honesty, decency,

86
00:02:09,512 --> 00:02:10,571
fairness,

87
00:02:10,571 --> 00:02:11,983
truth, justice, and

88
00:02:11,983 --> 00:02:16,571
compassion will prevail. We ask

89
00:02:16,571 --> 00:02:17,711
this now in the name of

90
00:02:17,711 --> 00:02:19,018
Him who taught us that

91
00:02:19,018 --> 00:02:20,291
true leadership

92
00:02:20,291 --> 00:02:21,632
is service, and that the path

93
00:02:21,632 --> 00:02:22,738
to true honor

94
00:02:22,738 --> 00:02:25,652
lies through sacrifice.

95
00:02:25,652 --> 00:02:27,880
Amen.

96
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,605
Thank you, Brother Cherokee.

97
00:02:29,605 --> 00:02:30,984
God's blessing

98
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:32,945
.

99
00:02:32,945 --> 00:02:35,583
Okay, Sabrina, on to the

100
00:02:35,618 --> 00:02:36,763
property tax discussion.

101
00:02:36,763 --> 00:02:38,650
Good. Does this work?

102
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:39,680
Yes.

103
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,675
So, the assessed

104
00:02:41,675 --> 00:02:44,483
value of real

105
00:02:44,483 --> 00:02:46,552
property for 2025

106
00:02:46,552 --> 00:02:49,138
was 349,940,552 and

107
00:02:49,138 --> 00:02:51,872
personal property was

108
00:02:51,872 --> 00:02:53,729
83,019,647. The assessed

109
00:02:53,729 --> 00:02:56,335
value of real

110
00:02:56,335 --> 00:02:58,255
property for 2026

111
00:02:58,255 --> 00:03:01,137
changed to 374,673,812. And

112
00:03:01,137 --> 00:03:05,004
personal property was

113
00:03:05,004 --> 00:03:07,612
74,162,386. This is an increase in

114
00:03:07,612 --> 00:03:10,056
real

115
00:03:10,056 --> 00:03:12,114
property value of 24,733,260 and a

116
00:03:12,114 --> 00:03:14,686
decrease in personal

117
00:03:14,686 --> 00:03:18,649
property of 8,857,261. The

118
00:03:18,707 --> 00:03:21,014
real estate tax rate in 2025

119
00:03:21,014 --> 00:03:22,745
was 17.9, which

120
00:03:22,745 --> 00:03:25,239
yielded a revenue of 626,394.

121
00:03:25,239 --> 00:03:26,799
For 2026, if you

122
00:03:26,799 --> 00:03:29,774
applied the

123
00:03:29,823 --> 00:03:31,628
4% real estate rate increase,

124
00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:33,432
it would be 19.7,

125
00:03:33,432 --> 00:03:35,334
which would yield a revenue of

126
00:03:35,334 --> 00:03:36,895
738,107, which is an

127
00:03:36,895 --> 00:03:40,809
increase of 111,714. The

128
00:03:40,864 --> 00:03:42,965
real estate compensation rate for

129
00:03:42,965 --> 00:03:45,176
2026 would be 19.0,

130
00:03:45,176 --> 00:03:46,889
which would provide a

131
00:03:46,889 --> 00:03:48,768
revenue of 711,880, an

132
00:03:48,768 --> 00:03:51,044
increase of 85,487. Um,

133
00:03:51,044 --> 00:03:52,684
another option is to

134
00:03:52,684 --> 00:03:54,424
leave the 2026 rates

135
00:03:54,424 --> 00:03:55,965
unchanged, which would

136
00:03:55,965 --> 00:03:57,952
be 17.9. And that would

137
00:03:57,952 --> 00:04:00,265
yield an income

138
00:04:00,265 --> 00:04:02,442
of 670,666, an

139
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:04,924
increase of 44,273.

140
00:04:04,924 --> 00:04:06,381
On personal

141
00:04:06,381 --> 00:04:07,838
property, the

142
00:04:07,838 --> 00:04:09,586
personal property rate in

143
00:04:09,586 --> 00:04:11,529
2025 was 27.19,

144
00:04:11,529 --> 00:04:15,817
yielding an income of 225,730. A

145
00:04:15,877 --> 00:04:18,171
4% increase in the personal property rate in

146
00:04:18,171 --> 00:04:20,404
2026 would make it

147
00:04:20,404 --> 00:04:22,335
35.87, yielding an

148
00:04:22,335 --> 00:04:24,749
income of 266,020, a difference of

149
00:04:24,749 --> 00:04:26,757
40,290. The compensatory

150
00:04:26,757 --> 00:04:28,917
personal

151
00:04:28,917 --> 00:04:30,645
property rate for 2026

152
00:04:30,645 --> 00:04:33,114
is 34.59, yielding an

153
00:04:33,114 --> 00:04:34,719
income of 256,528, an

154
00:04:34,719 --> 00:04:37,583
increase of 30,797.

155
00:04:37,583 --> 00:04:39,752
If we leave the

156
00:04:39,752 --> 00:04:41,477
2026 rates unchanged, the

157
00:04:41,477 --> 00:04:43,480
maximum

158
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,316
personal property rate would

159
00:04:45,316 --> 00:04:47,430
be 32.59, yielding an

160
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:48,987
income of 241,695, an

161
00:04:48,987 --> 00:04:51,256
increase of 15,965.

162
00:04:51,256 --> 00:04:53,013
Um, if we leave

163
00:04:53,013 --> 00:04:54,771
rates unchanged and

164
00:04:54,771 --> 00:04:56,748
receive approximately the

165
00:04:56,748 --> 00:04:58,890
same revenue, it would

166
00:04:58,890 --> 00:05:00,154
be 30.5,

167
00:05:00,154 --> 00:05:02,296
yielding revenue of 226,195,

168
00:05:02,296 --> 00:05:04,823
an increase of 465. The

169
00:05:04,862 --> 00:05:06,225
motor vehicle rate in

170
00:05:06,225 --> 00:05:07,666
2025 and the rate for

171
00:05:07,666 --> 00:05:08,756
2026 would remain

172
00:05:08,756 --> 00:05:10,197
unchanged at

173
00:05:10,197 --> 00:05:13,092
12.0. In 2025, the income

174
00:05:13,092 --> 00:05:16,158
was 50,651, in 2026, it was

175
00:05:16,158 --> 00:05:19,846
53,223. Um, for the

176
00:05:19,891 --> 00:05:21,451
real

177
00:05:21,451 --> 00:05:23,055
estate compensation rate, the income change

178
00:05:23,055 --> 00:05:25,253
was 85,487. The

179
00:05:25,253 --> 00:05:27,131
personal property rate would

180
00:05:27,131 --> 00:05:29,746
be 30,797, for a total of

181
00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:33,096
116,284. If you choose the

182
00:05:33,137 --> 00:05:34,352
4% income increase for real

183
00:05:34,352 --> 00:05:35,688
estate, the increase

184
00:05:35,688 --> 00:05:37,044
would be 111,714.

185
00:05:37,044 --> 00:05:38,480
The increase for

186
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,013
personal property would

187
00:05:40,013 --> 00:05:41,689
be 40,290, which

188
00:05:41,689 --> 00:05:43,318
would yield an income of

189
00:05:43,318 --> 00:05:45,729
152,004. If

190
00:05:45,729 --> 00:05:47,301
you leave the

191
00:05:47,301 --> 00:05:48,873
real estate rate

192
00:05:48,873 --> 00:05:50,445
unchanged and use the

193
00:05:50,445 --> 00:05:52,017
personal

194
00:05:52,017 --> 00:05:53,544
property rate, which generates the

195
00:05:53,544 --> 00:05:55,071
same income

196
00:05:55,071 --> 00:05:56,688
as last year,

197
00:05:56,688 --> 00:05:57,766
you would get

198
00:05:57,766 --> 00:05:59,563
an increase, or income,

199
00:05:59,563 --> 00:06:01,000
of 44,273 for

200
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,572
real estate and 465 for

201
00:06:02,572 --> 00:06:04,279
personal property, which would

202
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,626
yield a total

203
00:06:05,626 --> 00:06:08,398
income of 44,737. My

204
00:06:08,398 --> 00:06:09,360
recommendation is

205
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,607
to leave the

206
00:06:10,607 --> 00:06:12,884
property rates unchanged. changes. I don't

207
00:06:12,884 --> 00:06:14,448
think a raise

208
00:06:14,448 --> 00:06:16,557
is necessary. I think it's

209
00:06:16,557 --> 00:06:17,305
best to just

210
00:06:17,305 --> 00:06:18,491
leave them unchanged

211
00:06:18,491 --> 00:06:19,582
and not apply the

212
00:06:19,582 --> 00:06:20,705
maximum rate

213
00:06:20,705 --> 00:06:22,112
to personal property.

214
00:06:22,112 --> 00:06:23,345
I believe that receiving the same

215
00:06:23,345 --> 00:06:24,643
revenue

216
00:06:24,643 --> 00:06:25,681
as last year

217
00:06:25,681 --> 00:06:26,525
will allow us

218
00:06:26,525 --> 00:06:27,823
to remain financially

219
00:06:27,823 --> 00:06:29,056
stable, as well as

220
00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:30,322
help citizens

221
00:06:30,322 --> 00:06:31,230
without raising

222
00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:31,944
taxes

223
00:06:31,944 --> 00:06:33,813
unnecessarily. This is

224
00:06:33,813 --> 00:06:35,697
my recommendation as a

225
00:06:35,729 --> 00:06:36,815
CFO, so you

226
00:06:36,815 --> 00:06:37,773
can make your

227
00:06:37,773 --> 00:06:38,890
own decision

228
00:06:38,890 --> 00:06:40,701
. I

229
00:06:40,701 --> 00:06:42,715
support.

230
00:06:42,715 --> 00:06:44,073
Proposal from Bailey,

231
00:06:44,073 --> 00:06:46,263
seconded by George.

232
00:06:46,263 --> 00:06:47,257
Who is for it?

233
00:06:47,257 --> 00:06:48,293
By.

234
00:06:48,293 --> 00:06:49,577
Who is against?

235
00:06:49,577 --> 00:06:50,637
We have a prepared

236
00:06:50,637 --> 00:06:51,753
resolution that Erling

237
00:06:51,753 --> 00:06:52,758
can read if

238
00:06:52,758 --> 00:06:53,735

240
00:06:54,768 --> 00:06:56,796
for the second.

241

Ad valorem

00:54:57,412 --> 00:54:58,093
Mr. Mayor, do

775
00:54:58,093 --> 00:54:59,103
I need to recuse

776
00:54:59,103 --> 00:54:59,894
myself to

777
00:54:59,894 --> 00:55:00,785
talk about this?

778
00:55:00,785 --> 00:55:01,703
I have a personal

779
00:55:01,703 --> 00:55:03,006
interest in this matter.

780
00:55:03,006 --> 00:55:04,412
This is personal for me. I

781
00:55:04,412 --> 00:55:05,307
don't think you'll have to

782
00:55:05,307 --> 00:55:06,480
leave

783
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,762
the room because of this. I

784
00:55:08,762 --> 00:55:09,642
just won't

786
00:55:10,426 --> 00:55:11,607
Just don't say I do

787
00:55:11,607 --> 00:55:12,298
n't vote.

788
00:55:12,298 --> 00:55:13,261

00:55:14,322 --> 00:55:15,118

792
00:55:15,118 --> 00:55:15,648
to accept these

793
00:55:15,648 --> 00:55:16,537
recommendations. I would

794
00:55:16,537 --> 00:55:17,216
advise you to

795
00:55:17,216 --> 00:55:18,358
stay away from this

796
00:55:18,358 --> 00:55:18,922
issue.

797
00:55:18,922 --> 00:55:19,563
We're not

798
00:55:19,563 --> 00:55:20,302
having the first

799
00:55:20,302 --> 00:55:21,092
reading tonight anyway

800
00:55:21,092 --> 00:55:22,377
. I won't.

801
00:55:22,377 --> 00:55:23,281
Although we usually

802
00:55:23,281 --> 00:55:23,981
vote for

803
00:55:23,981 --> 00:55:24,811
the recommendation.

804
00:55:24,811 --> 00:55:25,959
Good.

805
00:55:25,959 --> 00:55:26,905
So I would advise

806
00:55:26,905 --> 00:55:28,073
actually going out during this

807
00:55:28,073 --> 00:55:31,389
.

808
00:55:31,389 --> 00:55:32,641
Get out of here,

809
00:55:32,641 --> 00:55:33,992
George. She

810
00:55:33,992 --> 00:55:36,939
convinced us.

811
00:55:36,939 --> 00:55:37,918
If you abstain

812
00:55:37,918 --> 00:55:38,925
from voting, your

813
00:55:38,925 --> 00:55:39,931
vote counts

814
00:55:39,931 --> 00:55:41,066
towards the majority. So.

815
00:55:41,066 --> 00:55:42,038
he

816
00:55:42,038 --> 00:55:43,191
just needs to not vote.

817
00:55:43,191 --> 00:55:43,569
Yes.

818
00:55:43,569 --> 00:55:44,601
If he doesn't vote,

819
00:55:44,601 --> 00:55:45,243
it doesn't

820
00:55:45,243 --> 00:55:46,097
count anywhere.

821
00:55:46,097 --> 00:55:46,475
Yes.

822
00:55:46,475 --> 00:55:49,008
That's what I meant. We don't

823
00:55:49,037 --> 00:55:50,017
kick anyone else out of the room

824
00:55:50,017 --> 00:55:50,939
when we look at

825
00:55:50,939 --> 00:55:52,962
their property.

826
00:55:52,962 --> 00:55:54,336
If he doesn't vote,

827
00:55:54,336 --> 00:55:56,518
yes.

828
00:55:56,518 --> 00:55:57,863
Todd, is this your first

829
00:55:57,863 --> 00:55:59,388
reading?

830
00:55:59,388 --> 00:56:00,662
Uh, well, first

831
00:56:00,662 --> 00:56:02,318
the recommendation...Of course

832
00:56:02,318 --> 00:56:04,017
, the property owner is

833
00:56:04,017 --> 00:56:05,504
George Heck, address:

834
00:56:05,504 --> 00:56:06,921
115 Sequoia Drive.

835
00:56:06,921 --> 00:56:08,420
Current zoning—B-2

836
00:56:08,420 --> 00:56:09,919

837
00:56:09,919 --> 00:56:11,380

1 "Highway

839
00:56:12,467 --> 00:56:16,195
Commercial Zone." The

840
00:56:16,227 --> 00:56:17,137
Litchfield City Planning Commission,

841
00:56:17,137 --> 00:56:18,361
having reviewed the

842
00:56:18,361 --> 00:56:19,334
zoning change request,

843
00:56:19,334 --> 00:56:20,465
recommends that the City

844
00:56:20,465 --> 00:56:21,626
Council approve a change

845
00:56:21,626 --> 00:56:22,568
of classification from "

Commercial." The Commission

850
00:56:29,201 --> 00:56:30,238
determined that the

851
00:56:30,238 --> 00:56:31,696
current B-2 zoning

852
00:56:31,696 --> 00:56:32,771
is inappropriate and that the

853
00:56:32,771 --> 00:56:34,307
requested

854
00:56:34,307 --> 00:56:35,689
C-1 category better suits

855
00:56:35,689 --> 00:56:36,763
the property and its

856
00:56:36,763 --> 00:56:37,493
intended

857
00:56:37,493 --> 00:56:42,267
use.

858
00:56:42,267 --> 00:56:43,026
Based on these

859
00:56:43,026 --> 00:56:44,100
findings, the commission

860
00:56:44,100 --> 00:56:45,301
recommends approval of the

861
00:56:45,301 --> 00:56:46,343
zoning change and

862
00:56:46,343 --> 00:56:47,607
forwards the recommendation

863
00:56:47,607 --> 00:56:48,523
to the Litchfield City Council

864
00:56:48,523 --> 00:56:49,345
for

865
00:56:49,345 --> 00:56:50,577
final consideration

866
00:56:50,577 --> 00:56:56,888
.

867
00:56:56,888 --> 00:56:57,702
Do we really

868
00:56:57,702 --> 00:56:58,848
need to vote

869
00:56:58,848 --> 00:56:59,612
on this, Arlene?

870
00:56:59,612 --> 00:57:00,406
You must all

871
00:57:00,406 --> 00:57:01,378
vote on whether

872
00:57:01,378 --> 00:57:02,026
to accept this

873
00:57:02,026 --> 00:57:02,862
recommendation.

874
00:57:02,862 --> 00:57:04,053
Good. I am waiting for an

875
00:57:04,053 --> 00:57:04,947
offer.

876
00:57:04,947 --> 00:57:06,373
Proposal to approve.

877
00:57:06,373 --> 00:57:06,952
Second.

878
00:57:06,952 --> 00:57:08,073
Proposal from Tudy,

879
00:57:08,073 --> 00:57:09,224
seconded by Clayton

880
00:57:09,224 --> 00:57:10,228
. Who is "for"?

881
00:57:10,228 --> 00:57:10,733
By.

882
00:57:10,733 --> 00:57:13,554
Who is against? Hey,

883
00:57:13,554 --> 00:57:15,647
George. George.

884
00:57:15,647 --> 00:57:17,048
Come back, George.

885
00:57:17,048 --> 00:57:18,117
Since you're

886
00:57:18,117 --> 00:57:19,018
listening anyway, George,

887
00:57:19,018 --> 00:57:19,484
come on in.

888
00:57:19,484 --> 00:57:20,515
I think it's normal

889
00:57:20,515 --> 00:57:21,443
that he's present at the

890
00:57:21,443 --> 00:57:22,475
first reading, because

891
00:57:22,475 --> 00:57:23,480
we're not voting on it

892
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:29,612
tonight.

893
00:57:29,612 --> 00:57:30,862
Next—the adoption

894
00:57:30,862 --> 00:57:32,279
of a proclamation regarding "

895
00:57:32,279 --> 00:57:33,863

897
00:57:34,723 --> 00:57:35,890
Tyler need to read this?

898
00:57:35,890 --> 00:57:36,959
Yes, Tyler should

899
00:57:36,959 --> 00:57:37,611
read this.

900
00:57:37,611 --> 00:57:38,156
Good.

901
00:57:38,156 --> 00:57:39,000
And it's okay

902
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:39,915
if George is here,

903
00:57:39,915 --> 00:57:40,806
because we're not voting

904
00:57:40,806 --> 00:57:41,540
on it today.

905
00:57:41,540 --> 00:57:43,032
Good. So, this is the first

906
00:57:43,032 --> 00:57:44,214
reading. An ordinance

907
00:57:44,214 --> 00:57:45,207

908
00:57:45,207 --> 00:57:46,201

00:59:26,843 --> 00:59:30,817
Commercial.

990
00:59:30,817 --> 00:59:31,455
OK.

991
00:59:31,455 --> 00:59:38,690
Thank you, Tom. OK.

992
00:59:38,690 --> 00:59:39,627
Adoption

993
00:59:39,627 --> 00:59:41,108
of the Proclamation on

994
00:59:41,108 --> 00:59:42,983
Manufacturing Week

995
00:59:42,983 --> 00:59:45,901
220 2026. We signed this

996
00:59:45,901 --> 00:59:48,799
at the last...

997
00:59:48,835 --> 00:59:49,399
Chamber of Commerce Luncheon.

998
00:59:49,399 --> 00:59:50,748
Ward lunches, yes.

999
00:59:50,748 --> 00:59:51,788
Therefore.

1000
00:59:51,788 --> 00:59:53,063
I propose

1001
00:59:53,063 --> 00:59:53,965
to accept it.

1002
00:59:53,965 --> 00:59:55,249
A suggestion from Billy,

1003
00:59:55,249 --> 00:59:56,152
and I support it.

1004
00:59:56,152 --> 00:59:56,723
Second.

1005
00:59:56,723 --> 00:59:57,969
The second one is from Clayton.

1006
00:59:57,969 --> 00:59:58,810
Everyone "in favor"?

1007
00:59:58,810 --> 00:59:59,315
Yes.

1008
00:59:59,315 --> 01:00:00,962
Who is against?

1009
01:00:00,962 --> 01:00:04,554
Thank you.

1010
01:00:04,554 --> 01:00:05,269
We don't need to

1011
01:00:05,269 --> 01:00:06,552
do anything about

1012
01:00:06,577 --> 01:00:07,441
business license orders

1013
01:00:07,441 --> 01:00:08,405
today, do we?

1014
01:00:08,405 --> 01:00:10,005
No, just an update. We

1015
01:00:10,005 --> 01:00:11,019
held a

1016
01:00:11,019 --> 01:00:12,033
committee meeting this

1017
01:00:12,033 --> 01:00:14,574
evening. There have been several

1018
01:00:14,574 --> 01:00:15,684
suggestions and ideas

1019
01:00:15,684 --> 01:00:16,953
for positive changes,

1020
01:00:16,953 --> 01:00:18,222
and I will begin to formulate

1021
01:00:18,222 --> 01:00:18,825
them together and

1022
01:00:18,825 --> 01:00:20,031
try to start

1023
01:00:20,031 --> 01:00:21,205
working on a

1024
01:00:21,205 --> 01:00:22,062
draft to

1025
01:00:22,062 --> 01:00:23,077
present to the

1026
01:00:23,077 --> 01:00:25,284
council.

1027
01:00:25,284 --> 01:00:27,498
OK. Thank you, Shirley.

1028
01:00:27,498 --> 01:00:28,899
OK. Unfinished

1029
01:00:28,899 --> 01:00:29,833
business, Billy?

1030
01:00:29,833 --> 01:00:30,834
Yes, sir.

1031
01:00:30,834 --> 01:00:31,388
Terry?

1032
01:00:31,388 --> 01:00:31,807
No.

1033
01:00:31,807 --> 01:00:32,368
Tim?

1034
01:00:32,368 --> 01:00:33,400
Yes, sir.

1035
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:33,818
No.

1036
01:00:33,818 --> 01:00:34,437
George?

1037
01:00:34,437 --> 01:00:35,320
No. Is

1038
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,899
anyone else here? OK.

1039
01:00:39,899 --> 01:00:42,321
New cases. The

1040
01:00:42,321 --> 01:00:43,620
Grayson County Alliance has

1041
01:00:43,620 --> 01:00:44,852
requested $6,000

1042
01:00:44,852 --> 01:00:45,585
for its annual

1043
01:00:45,585 --> 01:00:46,352
community

1044
01:00:46,352 --> 01:00:47,451
Christmas

1045
01:00:47,451 --> 01:00:49,685
food basket. We previously

1046
01:00:49,685 --> 01:00:51,063
budgeted

1047
01:00:51,063 --> 01:00:53,576
$5,000 for this. My

1048
01:00:53,576 --> 01:00:55,033
recommendation is that

1049
01:00:55,033 --> 01:00:55,943
we

1050
01:00:55,943 --> 01:00:57,291
stay within the

1051
01:00:57,291 --> 01:00:58,457
$5,000 we

1052
01:00:58,457 --> 01:01:04,225
allocated. If

1053
01:01:04,256 --> 01:01:05,365
the question of a larger

1054
01:01:05,365 --> 01:01:06,443
amount arises after this year, we need to

1055
01:01:06,443 --> 01:01:07,425
discuss it before

1056
01:01:07,425 --> 01:01:08,691
the budget is formed.

1057
01:01:08,691 --> 01:01:09,227
Therefore.

1058
01:01:09,227 --> 01:01:10,840
I move that the

1059
01:01:10,872 --> 01:01:12,105
mayor's recommendation for

1060
01:01:12,105 --> 01:01:13,155
$5,000 be accepted.

1061
01:01:13,155 --> 01:01:14,103
The proposal was made by

1062
01:01:14,103 --> 01:01:15,083
Billy, seconded by

1063
01:01:15,083 --> 01:01:16,476
George. Who is "for"?

1064
01:01:16,476 --> 01:01:17,063
By.

1065
01:01:17,063 --> 01:01:19,529
Who is "against"? Okay,

1066
01:01:19,529 --> 01:01:20,700
let's move on to new

1067
01:01:20,700 --> 01:01:21,731
things. Billy?

1068
01:01:21,731 --> 01:01:22,752
Yes, sir.

1069
01:01:22,752 --> 01:01:23,311
Terry?

1070
01:01:23,311 --> 01:01:23,727
No.

1071
01:01:23,727 --> 01:01:24,536
Timmy?

1072
01:01:24,536 --> 01:01:24,960
No.

1073
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:25,777
George?

1074
01:01:25,777 --> 01:01:28,768
No.

1075
01:01:28,768 --> 01:01:29,566
Yes, I have

1076
01:01:29,566 --> 01:01:30,608
concerns about the

1077
01:01:30,608 --> 01:01:31,858
cars Tyler

1078
01:01:31,858 --> 01:01:33,073
leaves in the lot

1079
01:01:33,073 --> 01:01:34,392
near the square, especially

1080
01:01:34,392 --> 01:01:39,186
on South English Street.

1081
01:01:39,186 --> 01:01:40,555
Some of them are on jack

1082
01:01:40,555 --> 01:01:41,468
stands and I

1083
01:01:41,468 --> 01:01:42,696
worry that someone

1084
01:01:42,696 --> 01:01:43,890
walking on the sidewalk

1085
01:01:43,890 --> 01:01:45,643
might get hurt.

1086
01:01:45,643 --> 01:01:46,609
Some of them are on

1087
01:01:46,609 --> 01:01:48,364
jack stands. And I

1088
01:01:48,364 --> 01:01:49,302
noticed that

1089
01:01:49,302 --> 01:01:50,574
some of them had

1090
01:01:50,574 --> 01:01:51,879
canopies installed because

1091
01:01:51,879 --> 01:01:53,318
renovations were underway. Can we be

1092
01:01:53,318 --> 01:01:53,618
held

1093
01:01:53,618 --> 01:01:54,543
responsible

1094
01:01:54,543 --> 01:01:55,087
if someone

1095
01:01:55,087 --> 01:01:55,794
gets hurt on the

1096
01:01:55,794 --> 01:01:57,049
sidewalk? Some...

1097
01:01:57,049 --> 01:01:58,267
Is this West Market?

1098
01:01:58,267 --> 01:01:59,007
Jacks.

1099
01:01:59,007 --> 01:02:00,269
West Market Street?

1100
01:02:00,269 --> 01:02:01,727
Yes. It seems to be on the corner of

1101
01:02:01,727 --> 01:02:02,935
West Market and South

1102
01:02:02,935 --> 01:02:03,472
English.

1103
01:02:03,472 --> 01:02:04,369
We can look into this

1104
01:02:04,369 --> 01:02:05,753
. The ordinance

1105
01:02:05,753 --> 01:02:06,534
allows them

1106
01:02:06,534 --> 01:02:11,070
to carry out minor

1107
01:02:11,070 --> 01:02:12,187
repairs, such as

1108
01:02:12,187 --> 01:02:13,169
changing the oil or

1109
01:02:13,169 --> 01:02:16,665
similar work. This is

1110
01:02:16,665 --> 01:02:17,320
our

1111
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:18,499
exclusion zone, so we

1112
01:02:18,499 --> 01:02:20,816
can check it out.

1113
01:02:20,816 --> 01:02:21,764
This is a public

1114
01:02:21,764 --> 01:02:23,831
parking lot. But we

1115
01:02:23,831 --> 01:02:25,303
will check the situation.

1116
01:02:25,303 --> 01:02:26,217
Since this is our

1117
01:02:26,217 --> 01:02:27,192
exclusion zone,

1118
01:02:27,192 --> 01:02:28,254
maybe we can

1119
01:02:28,254 --> 01:02:29,122
ban it.

1120
01:02:29,122 --> 01:02:30,426
Please check

1121
01:02:30,426 --> 01:02:31,537
this if it's not too difficult.

1122
01:02:31,537 --> 01:02:33,196
I would be grateful. That's all

1123
01:02:33,196 --> 01:02:34,315
I had.

1124
01:02:34,315 --> 01:02:35,441
Now for the new

1125
01:02:35,441 --> 01:02:41,330
cases, Lori Arlene.

1126
01:02:41,330 --> 01:02:42,253
Other business: The

1127
01:02:42,253 --> 01:02:43,779
personnel

1128
01:02:43,779 --> 01:02:45,385
committee meeting will be held on

1129
01:02:45,385 --> 01:02:47,580
October 5 at 5:00 p.m. The

1130
01:02:47,580 --> 01:02:48,577
next

1131
01:02:48,577 --> 01:02:49,730
chamber business luncheon will be held on

1132
01:02:49,730 --> 01:02:51,942
October 1 at noon at the

1133
01:02:51,973 --> 01:02:53,426
Clarkson Community Center. Please

1134
01:02:53,426 --> 01:02:54,826
let Lori know by

1135
01:02:54,826 --> 01:02:55,986
10:00 AM on Monday,

1136
01:02:55,986 --> 01:02:56,986
September 28th if

1137
01:02:56,986 --> 01:02:59,378
you plan to come.

1138
01:02:59,378 --> 01:03:00,518
Final reminder

1139
01:03:00,518 --> 01:03:01,424
: All claims for

1140
01:03:01,424 --> 01:03:02,594
reimbursement of expenses

1141
01:03:02,594 --> 01:03:03,705
for the past year through

1142
01:03:03,705 --> 01:03:04,553
McGregor must be

1143
01:03:04,553 --> 01:03:05,400
submitted by the end of

1144
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,236
the month. The

1145
01:03:07,236 --> 01:03:08,247
chamber's annual dinner

1146
01:03:08,247 --> 01:03:09,452
is scheduled for

1147
01:03:09,452 --> 01:03:10,869
September 24th. I assume

1148
01:03:10,869 --> 01:03:12,049
everyone who was going to

1149
01:03:12,049 --> 01:03:13,262
leave had already informed

1150
01:03:13,262 --> 01:03:14,032
Lori.

1151
01:03:14,032 --> 01:03:14,607
Yes.

1152
01:03:14,607 --> 01:03:16,710
OK.

1153
01:03:16,710 --> 01:03:17,814
CFO Sabrina

1154
01:03:17,814 --> 01:03:18,882
Rufus has provided you with

1155
01:03:18,882 --> 01:03:20,123
a copy of the unaudited

1156
01:03:20,123 --> 01:03:21,468
financial report for

1157
01:03:21,468 --> 01:03:22,709
June 2026 for

1158
01:03:22,709 --> 01:03:25,859
your review.

1159
01:03:25,859 --> 01:03:27,271
Mr. Ruby, do you have

1160
01:03:27,271 --> 01:03:28,083
anything to add?

1161
01:03:28,083 --> 01:03:29,252
No. Are

1162
01:03:29,252 --> 01:03:29,999
there any other

1163
01:03:29,999 --> 01:03:30,809
questions or

1164
01:03:30,809 --> 01:03:31,841
comments? I await the

1165
01:03:31,841 --> 01:03:32,556
motion and its

1166
01:03:32,556 --> 01:03:33,112
support to

1167
01:03:33,112 --> 01:03:33,928
close the meeting.

1168
01:03:33,928 --> 01:03:34,520
I make this

1169
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:35,162
suggestion.

1170
01:03:35,162 --> 01:03:35,808
Proposal from Mr.

1171
01:03:35,808 --> 01:03:36,455
Layton, seconded by

1172
01:03:36,455 --> 01:03:37,683
Mr....
