[0:10] This is the one that's looking on it from understand

[0:24] depending on the exit pipe

[0:29] Call the meeting to order. Pledge algiance.

[0:34] I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America to the republic

[0:41] for which it stands. One nation under God indivisible

[0:46] and justice for all.

[0:53] John here. >> April here. Jessica here.

[0:58] » Here >> Steve

[1:00] » here >> on routine matters. Um I was I was going

[1:05] to have our attorney um James Pay clarify for us on the approval of the

[1:10] talk about the approval of [clears throat] the special meeting

[1:12] minutes where we approved a um a quote that was over 25,000 and his

[1:18] understanding on how it was possible. Thanks James. [cough]

[1:23] » Sure. [clears throat] And I'm I'm basically paraphrasing what's in the the

[1:27] code section which is 65 ILCS5-8-9-1

[1:34] which says you know the project if it's $25,000 under does not have to be bid.

[1:39] Um the idea there is when you when you're when you're looking at what the

[1:44] project costs you look at it then if it ends up costing a little more later

[1:49] that's okay. You're still outside the bid process. The other way that you can

[1:54] kind of paper that is with a super majority vote of the board. So then

[1:59] that's that's even if the project was estimated to start at above $25,000,

[2:04] you all as a super majority, meaning four out of six, can can overcome that

[2:09] bid process on on something like that. But but just two things to note. One,

[2:14] it's what you're looking at at the time with regard to whether or not you go

[2:18] into the bid process, right? So, if it looks like a $25,000 project at [snorts]

[2:22] the time, then you don't have to bid it, even if it ends up going over a little

[2:26] bit, right? Now, if it goes over a whole bunch, then it's pretty easy to look

[2:31] behind. Well, was it ever really a $25,000 project to begin with? So,

[2:34] that's kind of the give and take there. But again, you've got that ability um as

[2:39] a board organized for a municipality that's under 500,000 people to overcome

[2:44] any of those things with a super majority vote of your board.

[2:49] But that is the figure the 25,000. >> That's that's the right number

[2:52] » for municipal. It's it's higher for uh um townships.

[2:58] » So as you're looking at a project that always have that number in mind, right?

[3:02] Because if it's looking like it's going to be bigger than that. Okay. Well, we

[3:04] either need to bid or go through a supermajority vote, right? If it's going

[3:08] to be under that, you're good. Either way,

[3:11] » go ahead. >> I was just always told it was 30,000.

[3:13] That's why I questioned it. It's it's different amounts for different weight.

[3:19] City, village, town, school board, >> drains, district. Okay. All that.

[3:24] » All that. Okay. Thank you. >> Did anyone have any questions about for

[3:28] the routine manners? >> I have a couple. Okay. Um, where did we

[3:34] survey on something? Is that what you're Is that what you

[3:38] did, Steve? Was a survey survey on that's why I was looking at that print.

[3:45] Which what bill was it? >> Hang on.

[3:52] » Was that the weight and merchant >> for sidewalks?

[3:56] » Oh, the survey was for the sidewalks. Okay.

[4:02] The 2530 is it? >> It says sidewalk. So,

[4:08] » and then the new street storm tour right under it would be the engineering for

[4:12] the train project. >> Was that before we put the sidewalk in

[4:15] on McKinley? Is that that >> that's where you know when we we

[4:19] extended the McKinley um we did had to redo the drainage. Is that what you're

[4:23] talking about? >> Yeah.

[4:24] » Before we could extend it, we had to have it looked at.

[4:38] Where do you see that, Keith? I'm sorry. You bottom of page two.

[4:42] » Oh, I'm on

[4:48] bills payable. >> Bottom of page two. 81426.

[4:56] » Okay. So, that's part of Mckenley. >> Yeah.

[4:59] » Okay. And then um I'm just curious do we get

[5:04] estimate because we I feels like we are using a lot of we have a lot of sidewalk

[5:09] material stuff even just in the last four four days or the payable she did

[5:14] don't you think it might be a little bit cheaper to

[5:18] » maybe get estimates on those then

[5:27] » where are you talking what we're at on 9 date is 98 imi Illinois Irving materials

[5:35] it five invoices just on that you know that

[5:40] one day they >> well that was the day that she paid them

[5:43] all >> right that's what I'm saying but I mean

[5:45] even some of the other stuff that's just one day of you know paying them but we

[5:49] have a lot of other

[5:55] » sidewalk >> I'm sorry what's your question

[5:58] » well I'm just throwing it out there that maybe we could look at because we still

[6:01] got to do uh Mckenley, right? >> Are you saying we need to get quotes for

[6:05] different concrete or what? >> But all the amount of money we've spent

[6:09] on the sidewalks, all the supplies, I don't know if it would be cheaper to

[6:13] have to have somebody come in maybe. >> Do you know the block that um the block

[6:18] that when Merl could not do it, that sort section

[6:23] was $6,500? 65 to $7,000 for one. I'm just throwing

[6:29] that out. >> No, no, I mean we can, but I'm just

[6:31] saying when we've gotten quotes, they were much higher than having Merl as an

[6:36] employee doing it and and paying for the concrete.

[6:38] » Okay. >> We didn't pay that much.

[6:43] » I'm sorry. >> Our concrete guy was very

[6:48] » we didn't pay that much. >> You know, if you need

[6:51] » give us give us contact information. That's fine. We'll take contact

[6:54] information. And

[6:57] » and then one more the red line. Is that the new updated U water software?

[7:01] » What what's the billing cards for? >> Is that what we is that that we can send

[7:09] out? >> Um honestly I haven't made it that far

[7:12] in [laughter] >> it was just delivered. It's the giant

[7:15] box of cards sitting on the table program regardless.

[7:19] » Correct. Right. >> So it's it is billing cards. It looks

[7:21] like a >> whether we use them or not. It just came

[7:24] with Not unless she needs to. >> Okay.

[7:27] » We didn't have an option. That was just part of it.

[7:29] » You can have billing cards or something else. Okay.

[7:32] » You get it regardless. >> Anything else?

[7:37] » Susan, >> I I just the um animal control report. I

[7:41] know. I don't know if that's specific to the old business or the

[7:46] Do you want to reach out to Shan and I won't have any answers for that?

[7:49] » I'm just wondering why we have cats for the last two months.

[7:51] » Um Dr. It was a kitten that was smaller that was too small to get spayed or

[7:56] neutered and so she kept it down there. So that's why. Okay.

[8:02] I believe it's gone now, but you can check with her for sure.

[8:10] Anything else? I don't. Okay.

[8:16] » All right. Is there a motion for routine matters?

[8:27] I'll make a motion to accept the routine matters.

[8:30] » Is there a second? >> I'll second.

[8:32] » Roll call. >> Don,

[8:34] » yes. >> April,

[8:35] » yes. >> Jessica,

[8:37] » yes. >> Todd,

[8:38] » yes. >> Susan,

[8:39] » yes. >> Steve,

[8:41] » yes. >> Old business, Steve, it's all you.

[8:48] uh drainage work

[8:50] » looks like this discussion on I guess or is it both of them I guess Newton and

[8:56] Oliver for the drainage uh I reached out the engineer

[9:02] did his drawings on the report and I actually reached out to a contractor

[9:07] about boring underneath Washington street uh the price I got exceeds 25,000

[9:15] uh so we're going to have to put it out for bid and

[9:20] by doing so I'll just the engineer I'll have to do another short drawing send it

[9:25] out for a bid kind of like a a letting but it will be we should get something

[9:29] back within like two weeks however when I talked to him today probably the

[9:34] soonest he said a contractor may be able to start maybe two months you're rushing

[9:40] the engineer agency you're rushing that they're going to increase their bids

[9:44] because they're going to push other workers

[9:46] more for that's the problem. So, I'm really hoping this would work, but it

[9:51] come out more than what we needed. So, I'd like to make a motion. Uh I guess

[9:57] any questions on it first. >> What was your estimate?

[10:01] » Uh the one I guess 30,000 and then I beat him down a little bit,

[10:05] tried getting him down. I got him down about 26,000. He said he couldn't go any

[10:09] lower. He'd lose money. He's borderline that.

[10:14] But that was pouring under the road, which what we would wouldn't have to

[10:19] close if we dig trench the road. They're telling me it take approximately

[10:24] three at least three days to do that, put that line in and do the work. So

[10:29] that's an 80,000 lb highway with truck traffic coming from south town with

[10:33] nowhere for trucks to turn around. So, we'd have to divert truck traffic out at

[10:38] the township road at the second S-curve, which in turn he felt the engineer

[10:44] thought it'd be cheaper to dig saw the road and dig it. But talking to one

[10:49] contractor, he said, "No, by the time you put a flagger out there, you got to

[10:52] divert that traffic. That road be closed for three days."

[10:56] So, uh, boring may be the way to go. But, uh, either way, I think we need to

[11:02] put it out for bid. get some bids on it and I should be able to get something

[11:07] within two weeks and go from there.

[11:17] » Is that was that where your was your motion just for the West Newton at this

[11:21] point and then we'll go in onto the >> Yeah, then I'll go on talking about

[11:24] Oliver. I don't >> Is there a second for the West Newton

[11:27] motion? >> What's that? I said, "Is there a

[11:30] second?" Because you made a motion. >> So, this is boring under under

[11:35] Washington at noon. >> Yes. Only thing that is is getting

[11:39] underneath and then from that point on down, we'll have to inhouse the tile all

[11:45] the way down to Davis Court. >> Okay.

[11:48] » That's just getting under the road. So, >> okay.

[11:52] » We try contracting it out. I mean, we looking at probably a quarter of a

[11:55] million dollars.

[12:01] Is there a second? >> I'll second.

[12:04] Roll call. >> Don,

[12:06] » yes. >> April,

[12:07] » yes. >> Jessica,

[12:09] » yes. >> Todd,

[12:10] » yes. >> Susan,

[12:12] » yes. Steve, >> yes.

[12:16] Okay. Then the other discussion I got is down on Oliver Street. Uh, talked a

[12:21] little bit with Keith on it. Uh, we probably need to We haven't got a cost

[12:26] on that yet, have we? Yet for piping. >> I got some numbers for what different

[12:34] sizes cost. A single 18 more water than 212s, which is what we have now.

[12:41] So, I would >> because that one I don't actually have a

[12:44] cost on, but uh I don't really got anything to vote on

[12:49] on it yet till we get a final cost. But I think we need to replace that tile.

[12:54] What you and I discussed from there on Jefferson, right? Or no, I'm sorry,

[13:00] Maine. >> Maine all the way down to the street

[13:04] down there by uh >> east

[13:06] back in that junction box. >> And then

[13:10] » something like $20,000 just for the >> I got I got the numbers out of the shop.

[13:21] I'd like to if we can vote to move forward with that, but I probably need

[13:25] to get that cost first. >> Can we do like a cost up to like 40,000

[13:31] that and then if it's more than that, we could

[13:35] » feel like it not to exceed. >> Yeah. I mean, in the budget, do you know

[13:39] » 85,000? >> So there's

[13:41] » there's still some there. >> Yeah. So just make a motion that we

[13:44] would to proceed up to a certain amount. And I mean, and I'm just throwing out

[13:48] there for you if you guys have a different number you want to use that we

[13:51] could approve it so it doesn't slow it down. So,

[13:54] » just remember, we got other pipe we're going to have to run on down uh Newton

[14:00] Street also >> after we get the the one foot under the

[14:04] road. >> Well,

[14:05] » that's not the end of it. There's another would you say 300 ft there,

[14:09] right? >> Probably more than that.

[14:12] » Yeah, more than that. Yeah, 300 was to the that one catch base in there at the

[14:19] » Yeah, I think it was 360 and I looked at too much stuff. Was more

[14:25] 300. >> I thought it was like 600.

[14:29] » Wasn't it like 630 instead of 360? >> Huh?

[14:32] » Wasn't it like 630 and not 360? >> Might be. I thought I heard 360, but I

[14:36] think that was just to the house. >> I think that was just the first.

[14:40] » Yes. Yeah, >> if I remember. I think that one of you

[14:44] guys >> Yeah, it's a way down there.

[14:46] » So, we're going to have that cost also. >> So, do you want to I mean, do you want

[14:51] to have a lower amount and we're going to have other costs? And I mean, it just

[14:54] means that if it goes over what we get for a quote, we we can't proceed until

[14:59] we come back and vote for more money. I think we need to do something to get it

[15:03] start. >> I mean,

[15:05] » Newton's important. I mean, both of them streets

[15:09] » are big problems in town. >> So, I mean, like you said, worst case

[15:13] we'd have to redo the budget. We >> We'd have to have a special meeting,

[15:17] right, to change the budget. Lisa, >> you would to vote on

[15:22] » if you wanted to if you go more than 10% over budget, we would have to reduce the

[15:28] budget. But in order to approve more money, you would just have a special

[15:32] meeting. Okay. Okay. Thank you. All right. So, does 40,000 sound good or

[15:40] somebody make a motion? I'll make a motion to start on those repairs not

[15:45] exceeding 40,000. >> Is there a second?

[15:48] » Second. >> Roll call.

[15:50] » Don, >> yes.

[15:52] » April, >> yes. Jessica,

[15:53] » yes. >> Todd,

[15:55] » yes. >> Susan,

[15:57] » yes. Steve, [clears throat] >> yes.

[15:59] » All right. For new business. >> Has anyone talked to Frontier lately?

[16:04] People that own that field there? Originally when they bought that land,

[16:08] they told me they were going to put tile in there.

[16:11] » Did you talk to them once, Todd? >> No, I've never talked.

[16:14] » What land are we talking about? I'm sorry.

[16:16] » The farm ground on the south side of Newton Street.

[16:20] » I don't know how much that would work, though. When I was looking at the the

[16:24] hill just to the south of that, >> even you put tile in there, you're still

[16:28] going to get a lot of runoff in that ditch. I don't think there's anything we

[16:31] can do about it. >> Okay. I was just wondering. I was just

[16:34] looking at that one day when we had all the standing water there. There's a

[16:37] pretty good bridge there and tiling will help depend on where they put their

[16:41] tile. If they want to put in their ditch, it's going to make it worse.

[16:45] » South.

[16:52] » All right. So, for new business, >> I got a couple.

[16:56] » Oh, >> where we at with the Mckenley property

[16:58] update? >> Um, we're going to try to put those all

[17:01] out for bid next month. for the four properties.

[17:07] » Sure, we we can do that. We just need I need to know.

[17:10] » Yeah. >> Where where the actual leaves of

[17:13] property? >> Okay. Yeah, I'll get all that to you.

[17:14] So, we'll put it out for bid for October to open at the November meeting that

[17:19] » are we still going to do all the stipulations on them or are we just

[17:22] going to do as is? >> We're going to do stipulations for

[17:24] houses on all four.

[17:32] And what about the crosswalk signs of the school? Where we at with them?

[17:35] » Uh, it's less. [laughter] >> Probably five, six weeks.

[17:41] » Seriously? >> Seriously?

[17:43] » Wow. >> Well, they keep sending us the wrong

[17:47] size. [laughter] >> Oh my gosh.

[17:50] So, one you couldn't even see the LED lights on the last ones that they I mean

[17:54] they were like this big and they were the sides are bright yellow and those

[17:58] were like a dark orange. They were like an amber color. So,

[18:02] » can they even supply them for us? But we were actually

[18:05] » Oh, they sent really nice high quality ones. They were just the wrong sign.

[18:09] They weren't the school crossing sign. They were just pedestrian crossing sign.

[18:12] » I wonder. So then they sent the school crossing sign to try and you know get us

[18:19] to put it up for school while they corrected the first one and those were

[18:23] jokes. So I said just give me the right send it to me move on

[18:28] » right >> and school's already started

[18:32] » it's an ongoing >> problem in my opinion

[18:34] » nobody nobody stocks anything you manufacture by orders

[18:38] » it's in Asia he said oh it'll be six weeks it comes out factory of course

[18:47] » thank you for that input [laughter]

[18:51] » I have a couple things that he's I'm done.

[18:54] » You're done? >> Yes.

[18:56] » Okay. Uh, last week or last month, somebody asked about being able to put

[18:59] the police like a police log on the agenda or on the audience portion. Did

[19:04] we find out about that? >> Um, we are working on that with the

[19:07] attorney. >> Okay.

[19:11] » And then, uh, we're redoing the water ordinance.

[19:14] » We're working on that. >> Right. Um, because I know like in this

[19:18] heat they've been working going to work early. Can we put the hours of the

[19:23] working hours [clears throat] just in case there's a problem with

[19:26] » They still haven't been leaving. You've been leaving at 3:30, right? You guys

[19:30] haven't left earlier than that. >> I know he's he started early Friday, so

[19:33] I'm assuming he with the heat, he didn't work.

[19:37] » Yeah, I don't know. >> I sometimes we come in sometimes do much

[19:44] because >> but I know people call it, you know, 350

[19:51] Um, you want us to put the hours? What? I'm

[19:56] I'm sorry. What are you asking? >> The working hours just in case he starts

[20:00] early. >> Where would you like us to put them?

[20:04] » It says in the ordinance during business hours. Oh.

[20:07] » To actually put the hours of the regular time,

[20:10] » the 7 to 3:30. >> Okay.

[20:13] » So, but he's he's working on the working I mean on the water ordinance. So, we'll

[20:18] we'll discuss that next month. >> Are we going to vote on it next month?

[20:22] » Um, it all depends on what he has and what we if if it's we want changes from

[20:27] what they're asking for. So, I mean, if it's going to be we're starting on it. I

[20:34] mean, he'll present what he's giving to us if we like what it is the changes

[20:38] are. If we have questions, it may take until November to to approve it if

[20:43] there's any changes need to be made, but we'll have it for review, I'm sure, by

[20:46] now. So,

[20:53] anything else, Susan?

[20:59] » No. >> So, for new business, um,

[21:05] with Heather stepping down, Kylie Reynolds has offered to step up to

[21:09] oversee the Mansfield community events. Um it'll go into a um village of

[21:15] Mansfield checking account. Lisa will it it since it's going to be a village of

[21:20] Mansfield checking account, it will be included in the audit. It won't be a

[21:24] separate account. It'll it'll be in the audit. Lisa will reconcile it as she

[21:28] does all the other accounts. So that'll be done. It'll still be um the signers

[21:34] will be as if I think it's Todd Duffy and I are on the the signers on the

[21:40] account and it'll work that way. There will be a debit card if she needs to

[21:44] purchase something. But um that way there's there's no conflict or problems.

[21:52] Anybody have any questions?

[21:56] Is there a motion to um appoint Kylie Reynolds as the to

[22:01] oversee the Mansfield community events? >> I'll make that motion.

[22:05] » Is there a second?

[22:09] » I'll second. >> Roll call.

[22:12] » John, >> yes.

[22:13] » Yes. >> Jessica,

[22:14] » yes. >> Todd,

[22:16] » yes. >> Susan,

[22:17] » yes. >> Steve,

[22:18] » yes. All right. And then, um, Todd, business.

[22:24] » Okay. Um, our tornado siren on the south side of town quit working. Keith

[22:30] replaced batteries because the batter is completely dead. Wouldn't hold the

[22:33] charge. Um, they lasted a few days and then they were dead again. So, we called

[22:40] GTSI. They came out, looked at the siren. They say it got hit by lightning

[22:47] or took a power surge. Um, so we submitted a claim with the

[22:52] insurance. Uh, the first problem is the insurance says it's not insured. It's

[22:57] not on the policy. Um, that when it was put in 22 years ago, nobody insured it.

[23:03] Um, but they will come out and look at it

[23:07] and they will give a good faith payment of 10,000 if there's damage.

[23:14] Um, I personally think we need to find someone else to look at it before we

[23:20] proceed too much further. Um, Keith took the batteries back out before he was on

[23:24] vacation, put them in, and it's worked every day since till today. I think it

[23:29] died today, finally. Um, but it's just not charging. They say the motherboard

[23:35] and all the electronics are bad. I'm not sure that's true. I don't know anything

[23:40] about electronics like that. Um, so I think we should probably search for a

[23:45] second opinion, but the insurance is going to come out this week or next to

[23:51] look at it and evaluate it. Um, a new siren is $41,000.

[23:59] [clears throat] So, um, if if it's just a charger, we can order a charger and

[24:05] put in there separately instead of going through the control board, and it will

[24:09] do the same thing.

[24:14] Okay. >> So, it should be tomorrow.

[24:15] » So, there's really nothing to vote on right now. I'd say just let's It's

[24:20] working. It goes off at noon. We can still control it from here in the

[24:24] sheriff's office. So, >> without a battery?

[24:28] » Well, it's got battery with batteries. Yeah.

[24:30] » You can control it without it or without the battery or No,

[24:33] » it has to have batteries. It's It's run strictly off batteries.

[24:39] So, it's still operational if we need it. Um, I think we just need a second.

[24:46] So, >> do you know of a company that does

[24:48] » I'm researching that now. That's the problem. It's hard to find somebody.

[24:53] » But these people come from Jacksonville, so they're already from quite a

[24:56] distance. So,

[25:00] and this falls under old business, new

[25:04] business. Um the ANR mechanical has started doing work on the water main

[25:11] system. They did some potholeing today locating utilities. So they should be

[25:18] progressing the next week or so. Um they're starting on the west side of

[25:24] town on Oliver Street. So here in a few days you might try to avoid the area if

[25:30] you're over there. Um, they've got all the stuff down at the shop to start the

[25:35] construction and do the digging. That's all I got.

[25:44] » All right. Audience comments. >> I have a couple. Sorry. Um, when are

[25:47] they going to start the demo in that house?

[25:49] » Do you know? >> I don't know. The excavator's there. So,

[25:52] I imagine this week.

[25:56] » They must have extra equipment. >> I know. Been there. Been there a while.

[26:00] having gone away. >> Oh yeah. No.

[26:02] » Yeah, it was all it was there all last week.

[26:04] » And then are we done with the sidewalks for the year?

[26:08] » And no more trees for the year, right? >> Unless it's an emergency, but the house

[26:13] or the tree on Mckenley. We're not doing that one, right?

[26:17] » On North Mckenley. >> It's dead. I mean, it's been dead. But

[26:23] » you mean the one on Griggs and No, Mckenley. Which Which one are you?

[26:28] » It's a Griggs and Mckenley. Right past um the junkyard

[26:34] » where Tony lives. >> Yeah.

[26:36] » Yeah. Right. >> Chris Night. It's not dead though, is

[26:40] it? I don't think that's a dead one there.

[26:43] » Tony O'Donn while

[26:48] » not 100% sure that's even ours. >> Tony O'Donnell's.

[26:52] That's Griggs and Mckenley. I thought you had

[26:55] » He has two trees up front. One >> one This one's on the side. The one was

[27:00] It's on Mckenley's side. >> Yeah.

[27:01] » The one that he painted. >> Yeah. Yes.

[27:05] » I don't know if that's ours. >> I don't think that's ours.

[27:07] » No, that's the one that he's he's been talking about is on Gregs.

[27:11] » This one. >> And he also ones out front.

[27:13] » Yeah.

[27:16] » I mean, it's dead and like you said, it's he's painted it several times.

[27:21] » Is that >> Yeah, that's Billy Ray Williams place

[27:25] there. >> And then right next to the tree.

[27:27] » So, this one right I don't remember. >> Yeah, that one's not

[27:33] » going.

[27:37] Okay. >> I think Yeah.

[27:41] » Yeah. But it looks like it's on according to my

[27:45] » Well, with side his >> I think it's his. I don't think it's

[27:49] steady, but I want to make sure we didn't we're not

[27:54] » any I'm good. Okay. All right. Any audience comments? Hope.

[28:00] » Um, why are we spending so much on cat food in the cat?

[28:04] » Because she had a cat for two months that was there. So, it shouldn't I

[28:10] talked to her about not keeping it for that long. So, she stocked up. She

[28:14] shouldn't need it again. So,

[28:19] thank you, Erin. >> I have a couple. [clears throat] Um,

[28:24] last month somebody asked about the comment section being at the end of the

[28:28] meeting and you had stated that you're respect

[28:37] and it doesn't provide for a format. You can do them at the beginning. Um, and I

[28:43] would strongly urge you guys to reorder the meeting so that the audience can

[28:50] weigh in at the beginning of the meeting. you guys had stated that the

[28:56] you provide the agendas like you know a couple days ahead which have to by the

[29:01] open meetings act. Um but that's not a reason because then we get to sit here

[29:08] and watch everybody vote but people might have comments about some of the

[29:12] agenda items. It'd be nice to have an opportunity to give those comments

[29:17] before they're voted on. >> All right. Thank you for your input. Um

[29:20] my other item is that um

[29:25] why are there no committee meeting minutes available?

[29:28] » We haven't had any committee meetings recently.

[29:32] » Are they like so they're just whenever like ad hoc meetings whenever they're

[29:37] needed? >> Yes.

[29:39] » Why are there why have committed?

[29:46] It's our it's our process and thank you for your input. So I appreciate your

[29:51] concern and we'll take it under adisement. Is there any other

[29:55] » Can we spray more than once a week?

[30:00] » Mosquitoes spraying more than once a week. Is that what you're saying?

[30:06] » They're terrible now. >> Um

[30:11] you can only spray so much to figure out whether you can or not. Whatever the

[30:14] label says, >> they do make products that you can spray

[30:18] at home that will last longer than what we do.

[30:23] » Ortho makes one. It's a liquid application. It stays on foliage for a

[30:28] couple weeks as opposed to

[30:35] » Demon Max. I use it's rated for like six months or something,

[30:40] but if it rains, it washs it off. You can't keep anything in the air for

[30:46] flying mosquitoes. I'm guaranteeing you. I don't care what they say.

[30:50] » I did spray. The mosquito has to fly into that fog. That's the only way it

[30:54] works. So once I go down the street, you see that fog for four minutes and then

[30:58] it's gone. >> That's it.

[31:02] » Thank you. >> They took my eye on off. That worked.

[31:06] [laughter]

[31:08] » And all those kids are in heaven.

[31:15] Chris, did you have your hand up? >> Yeah, I had a question. So, I'm excited

[31:18] the village is doing stuff about drainage. I was just curious where

[31:20] Liberty is going to follow on on that. We've been here for about 12 years

[31:25] have a lot of problems being full of water. That of course problem.

[31:31] » We're we're starting we're we're starting on Newton. We're starting on um

[31:37] Oliver and it's my understanding that those two areas will expand out, but

[31:45] we'll we're doing that this year. Well, I mean, they probably should have a

[31:49] street and drainage committee needing to figure out some long-term planning for

[31:53] that, but we'll take that into account. Thank you.

[31:57] » Any other questions?

[32:00] All right. So, okay, there's one more announcement. Um,

[32:06] I have packets for election um available as of the conclusion of this meeting.

[32:13] Um, I've only got three ready to hand out. We had to order more paper. Um, and

[32:18] I've got five more ready to go when the paper's here in two days. Um, so, um, if

[32:24] you're interested in, [clears throat] you'll have to get with me to get one.

[32:28] How many seats are? >> Three.

[32:32] » All right. So, our next regular meeting is Monday, October 5th, 2026 here at the

[32:37] fire department at 7 p.m. Is there a motion to adjurnn?
