release of an easement.

124
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,400
Jameson, you want to address that?

125
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,480
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. This is a release

126
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,160
of a 50-ft

127
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,280
um 50-ft storm sewer and drainage

128
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:03,520
easement in the property in the

129
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,960
southeast side of our industrial park.

130
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,400
Um previously, it discharged to the east

131
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,400
from the end of where the road

132
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,440
was ended. And then now with the

133
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,480
completion of South Industry Avenue and

134
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,400
16th Street Southeast in the industrial

135
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,919
park, that uh area was filled in and

136
00:06:18,919 --> 00:06:20,760
then the drainage area was rerouted a

137
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,760
little bit further to the southeast. And

138
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,680
there was appropriate storm water uh

139
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,520
infrastructure installed at that time.

140
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,200
So, since the the drainage was rerouted,

141
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,760
um we can relieve we can uh discharge

142
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,560
this um easement. Uh it's not needed

143
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520
anymore and that allows this area to be

144
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,280
uh more fully developed.

145
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,120
I'll stand by for any questions.

146
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,870
Okay. Questions or comments?

147
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,800
If not, do we have a motion?

148
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,800
>> Ryan, I have one question. What What's

149
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,200
this process? Did this go through

150
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,400
planning and zoning as well or your

151
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,040
department or how did we get

152
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,520
where we are?

153
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,520
>> Yeah. Um so, MADC had worked with Sayre

154
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,280
and Associates and they had drawn up a

155
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:07,640
document to um release this easement and

156
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,480
then it comes to our office. We review

157
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,600
that. We reach out to the US Army Corps

158
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,600
of Engineers. Um they determine that any

159
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,200
wetlands there are non-jurisdictional.

160
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,760
Uh we also reach out to South Dakota

161
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,160
Department of Ag and Natural Resources.

162
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,160
>> So, what is

163
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,480
>> They will not require any avoidance or

164
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,800
minimization or compens-

165
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,240
compensatory mitigation. Um so, we're

166
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,040
all clear there and it just comes

167
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,640
straight to you as the city commission.

168
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,680
Does not go to the planning commission.

169
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,640
>> And then just to clarify it further in

170
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,000
that uh

171
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,320
where the drainage did go across before,

172
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,120
when they did some dirt work there and

173
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,360
that that area was uh filled in and the

174
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,200
water is directed further south.

175
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,400
And so, that's why we have this release

176
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,760
of the easement is because the water no

177
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,000
longer drains across that area because

178
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,590
it's been uh regraded.

179
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,880
» And you said it was not a wetland.

180
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,400
>> Yeah, that's right. It's It's

181
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,230
non-jurisdictional wetland.

182
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,800
» Thank you.

183
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,430
>> Any other questions?

184
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:22,230
Okay. Seeing none, do we have a motion?

185
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,760
» I'll make a motion to adopt resolution

186
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,200
2026-14

187
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,240
releasing

188
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,480
Did the easement have a number or

189
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,840
anything associated to it?

190
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,320
Are we just referring to it as the

191
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:35,919
easement?

192
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:37,599
>> Uh it's just an easement recorded on a

193
00:08:37,599 --> 00:08:41,909
plat. So, we'd just be releasing that.

194
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:43,240
» I'll second that.

195
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,960
>> We have a motion and a second. All those

196
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,200
in favor signify by saying I.

197
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,200
>> I.

198
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,760
>> Those opposed same sign.

199
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,480
Motion carries.

200
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,080
August 2026 city updates. Jameson, would

201
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,200
you want to take that?

202
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,440
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. As that's coming

203
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,080
up on the screen here, um this is uh the

204
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,760
updates for

205
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,920
um the last month, um

206
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,680
mid-July to mid-August. And as that

207
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,800
comes up,

208
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:18,110
here we go.

209
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,120
The first thing we'd want to do is

210
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,080
recognize our employee Justin Anderson.

211
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,040
He is recently been promoted to a new

212
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,520
role as the lead with water and

213
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,040
wastewater operator. He has been an

214
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,240
operator in our treatment department uh

215
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,040
for over 8 years now. He's done a

216
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,720
fantastic job and we're very excited to

217
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,040
see him move up into this lead role um

218
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,440
and and take on more responsibilities

219
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,920
within that department. It's great to

220
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,160
have him as part of our our

221
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,640
organization, and we're just excited to

222
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,920
see what he does next.

223
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,560
So, congratulations, Justin.

224
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,280
Next slide has the standard list of

225
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,160
active projects, nothing crossing off

226
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160
this month, and then we'll move on to

227
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,680
Egan Avenue.

228
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,200
Um since Ryan's here, Ryan, do you want

229
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,480
to take the two Egan Avenue slides?

230
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,320
>> Sure, be happy to. Um

231
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,200
so, between [clears throat]

232
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,440
uh Second and Fifth Street, there's

233
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,280
still some installation of um

234
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,960
median dirt and uh landscaping that

235
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,800
remain. Uh I talked to the

236
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,400
contractor today that's going to be

237
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,560
doing the sod, and they had indicated

238
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:14,480
they they want to do all of the sod at

239
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,320
once, but it remains to be seen if

240
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,400
they'll if they'll do those first three

241
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,440
blocks for us. We kind of

242
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,680
hope that they would. Um Fifth to Sixth

243
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:24,880
Street, all of the underground utilities

244
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,280
have been completed. They've more

245
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,600
completed a while back. Uh the traffic

246
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,160
lanes are all done.

247
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,640
Um they're working on sidewalks and the

248
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,120
remaining retaining walls of this week.

249
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,320
Uh Sixth to Eighth Street, again, all

250
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,040
the utilities are are complete. Um the

251
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,600
paving of the east lanes through Eighth

252
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,680
Street has been completed. Um the valley

253
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:45,680
gutter has been poured. That was poured

254
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:46,720
Friday.

255
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,839
And the parking areas next to DSU are

256
00:10:49,839 --> 00:10:52,960
um ready, and uh we've broken cylinders,

257
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,839
and they're those are safe to park on,

258
00:10:54,839 --> 00:10:56,839
so that should be good by

259
00:10:56,839 --> 00:10:59,200
the first day of classes for DSU.

260
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,839
Um the west traffic lanes are only

261
00:11:00,839 --> 00:11:02,880
completed to Seventh Street. They plan

262
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,400
on completing those to Eighth Street

263
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,040
this week, but that'll depend on

264
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,240
weather and um if they can get there.

265
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,839
They're trying to get the sidewalks done

266
00:11:10,839 --> 00:11:13,280
next to DSU first.

267
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,040
Um then they'll work on driveways and

268
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,160
everything.

269
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,960
Um from Eighth Street to Ninth Street,

270
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,720
the subgrade is prepared and has been

271
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,080
proof rolled.

272
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,720
Um

273
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,800
the gravel installation is going to be

274
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,839
underway shortly. Um there was an

275
00:11:28,839 --> 00:11:30,600
equipment breakdown that prevented them

276
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,680
from hauling gravel today, but that

277
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,720
should be underway tomorrow.

278
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,840
Uh the 9th Street intersection, the curb

279
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,600
and gutter was completed last week. Um

280
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,400
asphalt was supposed to be done today

281
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,520
and was not. It will be done right away

282
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,870
in the morning.

283
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,870
» Any questions on Egan?

284
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,840
» Okay.

285
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,480
>> Brian.

286
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,560
>> You

287
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,480
What was the timeline on 9th and it will

288
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,880
be passable Wednesday?

289
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,280
>> Um it was supposed the uh

290
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,360
Oh, the new timeline for it?

291
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,560
>> Yes. Yeah, or yeah.

292
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,880
>> Um yeah, so once it's done, we should be

293
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,720
able to open it up probably in the

294
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,120
evening tomorrow.

295
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,040
Either that or early morning on

296
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,160
Wednesday.

297
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,080
It was originally supposed to be done a

298
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,920
couple weeks back. Um we had a gas main

299
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,440
that was hit that created some some

300
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,240
issues with getting that prepped. Um

301
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,880
It was by contract supposed to be

302
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,840
completed by August 14th. So, they're a

303
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,120
few days late and are in penalty phase

304
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,350
on that.

305
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,000
» Thank you.

306
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,590
>> Any other questions on Egan?

307
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,040
Okay, just want to note a couple other

308
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,200
of our projects will be coming up.

309
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,080
Nothing new since last month, but our

310
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,000
annual chip seal for 2026 will be

311
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,280
starting either late August or early

312
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,839
September. And then our sidewalk

313
00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:55,839
project, the city's contractor is able

314
00:12:55,839 --> 00:12:58,480
to start work as early as August 24th.

315
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,280
Um we give land owners up until this

316
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,760
time to complete them themselves if they

317
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,920
so choose. And so this fall you'll start

318
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,560
seeing some of those sidewalk and chip

319
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:08,640
sealing projects proceed.

320
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,400
On the electric side of the world, um

321
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,200
our two substation projects are moving

322
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,520
along. On the green substation, the work

323
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,080
on the control building is a lot of

324
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,000
where the work's been occurring lately,

325
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,920
um including the interior finishing and

326
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,839
then some minor exterior repairs around

327
00:13:22,839 --> 00:13:24,280
the building uh from the building

328
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,760
installation.

329
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,160
Um construction of the communication

330
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,800
tower is nearing completion. Only the

331
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,640
top sections remaining. And then the

332
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,720
transformer field services um was

333
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,080
completed on the 7th. And then the

334
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,880
electrical crews are reworking the

335
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,520
cables in the vault so they can energize

336
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,200
the station power for deep for the

337
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,600
commissioning of the building which is

338
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,640
scheduled on the 17th. Um, this project

339
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,560
is expected to be energized by November

340
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:47,920
of this fall.

341
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,680
And then the southeast substation uh

342
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:51,120
with the transformer arrived on the

343
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,200
10th. Um, that has been been late but

344
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,320
they were happy to see that get in um

345
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,280
offloaded and set on the 11th. And so

346
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,800
insulation services were able to start

347
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,440
right away and the completion was

348
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,440
scheduled to be the 14th.

349
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,040
Testing of the breakers, CCTV's,

350
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,640
arresters, and the switch began on the

351
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,080
12th. And so this is bringing us to the

352
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,200
second planned power outage which was

353
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,400
scheduled to begin uh today and last

354
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,280
approximately two weeks. This has been

355
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,680
rescheduled due to the delay in the

356
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,920
transformer delivery date um and allows

357
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,160
the crews to complete the final

358
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,960
transmission connections and power and

359
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,720
control wiring.

360
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,360
>> And then uh with this uh

361
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,320
it says, you know, the

362
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,200
uh

363
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,040
power outage but that doesn't mean to

364
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,200
the citizens.

365
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,200
>> Yes. So when we uh the outages at this

366
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,960
station would would uh not be energized

367
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,320
at the time but we since we have three

368
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,320
substations, we'll be able to operate

369
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,360
the the city on the other two

370
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,080
substations. So outages on both of these

371
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,440
are planned um as those construction

372
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,760
projects continue. The southeast sub is

373
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,080
expected to be energized re-energized on

374
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,360
August 30th um and be bringing in that

375
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,230
115 kV to the community.

376
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,720
Jumping into some past events, we had

377
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,320
National Night Out a couple Tuesdays ago

378
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,760
which had some beautiful weather and was

379
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,520
a big hit um between the foam party

380
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,640
hosted by the library to the dunk tank

381
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,600
um and and all the the equipment and and

382
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,720
the uh

383
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,960
the little train that was pulled around

384
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,360
for the kids. That was another

385
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,000
successful National Night Out and so we

386
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,880
want to thank all of our uh law

387
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,480
enforcement and and fire responders for

388
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,320
their service to our community and also

389
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,960
for putting on another great event

390
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,560
downtown Madison.

391
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,080
We got a few slides here showing some

392
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,840
pictures from the library. They've had a

393
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,520
very successful summer reading program.

394
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,560
There was a dinosaur theme this year and

395
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,920
we had a lot of great participation. And

396
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,600
so you see a few pictures here from some

397
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,880
of the the runs and the walks that they

398
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,920
started out of the year with.

399
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,240
And then

400
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,720
there's also

401
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,160
pictures from their craft afternoon, um

402
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,680
from the events of the graphic novel

403
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,280
club, and also the Nerf night event. And

404
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,480
then the garden club is listed on here

405
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,560
as well. The garden club um it has a lot

406
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,720
of great community support and uh kids

407
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,240
are able to to learn about growing their

408
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,880
own produce and putting them to use in

409
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,040
some tasty dishes.

410
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,480
When we look at summer reading program

411
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,000
as we're nearing the end of the summer,

412
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,760
we uh have seen that we've had 229

413
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,640
elementary age kids read almost 170,000

414
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,960
minutes of of of books. It's lots of

415
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,000
phenomenal job by those kids and you may

416
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,080
have seen some of the yard signs around

417
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,480
the community for those who have logged

418
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,680
at least 10 hours of reading throughout

419
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,760
the summer.

420
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,600
There was also 74 teens who read 994

421
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,200
books books and 42 adults who read 392

422
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,400
books. And so in total the summer

423
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,320
programs from the Madison Public Library

424
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,600
this year had uh 1,902 attendees

425
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,030
throughout its different activities.

426
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,800
Last past event we'll note is our most

427
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,320
recent city circle at the library. We

428
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,680
had uh great conversations including

429
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,120
topics such as the city budget, uh our

430
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,480
proposed digital currency mining

431
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,160
facility, the license plate reader

432
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,080
cameras, as well as emerald ash borer.

433
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,080
And then switching to upcoming events,

434
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,760
um library's always got good things in

435
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,400
store and so they have the the school

436
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,640
bus event coming up on August 18th 11:00

437
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400
a.m. um at the library park. And they're

438
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,720
also working on a teen teen created

439
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,800
mural to the children section of the

440
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,120
library.

441
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:08,720
So that wraps up the updates for this

442
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,470
month. Are there any questions?

443
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,199
» Okay, questions or comments?

444
00:17:16,199 --> 00:17:18,760
No? It's been a very good summer.

445
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,959
Surprising that it's already

446
00:17:20,959 --> 00:17:23,439
school starting here. So,

447
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:30,270
do we have any public comment?

448
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,400
Okay.

449
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,640
Our next regular commission meeting will

450
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,200
be Tuesday, September 8th at noon.

451
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,680
And at this point in time, do we have a

452
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,200
motion to go into executive session?

453
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,960
>> Make a motion.

454
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,720

>> Second.

457
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,160
>> We have a motion and a second. All those

458
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,280
in favor signify by saying aye.

459
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,280
>> Aye.

460
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,480
>> Those opposed same sign.

461
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,320
Motion carries.

462
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Thank you everyone for attending

So, I think I'll take a minute.
