I'm going to interrupt I was just wondering if the 185 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:10,440 council has any questions for the City attorney and if not I think he should be 186 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,760 excused thank you Mr Price are there any questions specifically for the attorney 187 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,760 this 188 00:18:14,919 --> 00:18:23,039 evening seeing none that good evening turn the clock glad you could join us 189 00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:23,039 for a few moments at the 190 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,000 meeting have a great evening thank you Mr hitch 191 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:38,919 first item of regular business then is the uh special council meeting of June 192 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:42,760 15 Mr May Mayor proen Brown thank you Mr Mayor uh I understand that Council has 193 00:18:40,919 --> 00:18:49,320 been provided with a revised copy of the minutes I did have one question uh or at 194 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:54,600 least one comment on the report of the ad hoc subcommittee to recommend an 195 00:18:51,840 --> 00:19:00,000 acting City administrator uh it was my hope that the actual criteria that was 196 00:18:58,039 --> 00:19:04,400 determined to be used in the selection of the temporary appointment uh would 197 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:08,919 actually be listed in the minutes I know the minutes do not require that but 198 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:13,960 given that this meeting was not televised and that we want to make sure 199 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:17,679 that our our city manager transition is as transparent as possible I would 200 00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:23,280 simply ask if it's the will of the council that we actually include that 201 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,280 criteria in the body of the 202 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:32,520 minutes mayor protm I from my recollection I believe that the motion 203 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:38,360 to include them was simply to accept them and place them on file I mean will 204 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,360 that suffice or is 205 00:19:38,679 --> 00:19:46,760 that sure yeah normally normally we would not include the text of uh of a 206 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:52,039 report or or anything of that nature in the minutes it's not required under the 207 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:56,159 Oma or required under uh Robert's rules I just thought that this was a unique 208 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,799 case and I do remember at the last meeting that there was some discussion 209 00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:03,679 about what we actually approving when we made that motion so if it's not the 210 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,960 consensus of the council I'm fine approving the minutes as they are it was 211 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:12,120 simply a suggestion on my part and I'll only um I only offer it up as a 212 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,960 consensus council 213 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:24,480 members I'd support that I asked for a copy of them at the last meeting and 214 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:30,440 didn't get them so um either they're a very well regarded secret or um we just 215 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,520 don't want to publicize them but I think they should be 216 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,880 public I'll 217 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:48,440 concur did you receive a copy of a Madam clerk I mean I believe you did but just 218 00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:54,120 to be sure I can get you a copy another one if you need it 219 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:59,919 okay yeah I believe I um had given that copy to another person that had asked 220 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:04,880 for them so okay I would need that thank you okay that's not a problem I would 221 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:09,679 support that as well if that's a consensus mayor protm if that is the 222 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,559 consensus I'll move the adoption of the special city council meeting minutes 223 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:20,520 from June 15 2015 with the noted uh addition for the 224 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:24,279 ad hoc committee report 225 00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:30,080 second motion's been made and seconded to approve the Amendments with the 226 00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:35,320 addition of the subcommittee criteria all those in favor signify by 227 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:39,200 saying I I all those oppose motion passes 228 00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:49,760 70 next item of regular business is the motion to consider uh continuing 229 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:54,240 demolition at 1020 East Ash Street Mr Price would you like to give 230 00:21:52,279 --> 00:22:01,000 us a briefing on where you're at with that well apparently this has been on 231 00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:04,200 going for quite some time I saw that the that the some of the bids were received 232 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:09,480 a year ago however I know that uh that council 233 00:22:07,679 --> 00:22:15,240 member Bruno had a question about whether or not the hauler would be U 234 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:19,279 licensed and certified to haul certain kinds of materials and in this case 235 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:24,080 we're talking about asbest I wasn't aware that that had been a question 236 00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:30,320 previously made but the only thing I can say is that it is a the that the parent 237 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:36,120 low bidder or the lowest proposal submitted uh was um Anderson Fisher 238 00:22:33,679 --> 00:22:42,000 Associates and they have on their stationary and m. pre-qualified 239 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:48,039 contractor now I think that from that would indicate that they are however if 240 00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:53,600 they if you'd like to make it contingent but I would like to get this going and 241 00:22:49,799 --> 00:23:03,559 get it over with uh that I will make sure that that this company is properly 242 00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:03,559 C certified license to to haul this 243 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:13,120 material council member Bruno with that Assurance by Pat I would move that we 244 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:17,559 accept the bid subject to his finding if the contractor is properly 245 00:23:15,919 --> 00:23:22,799 licensed second motion's been made and seconded 246 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:27,120 to accept the bid with that Assurance is there any 247 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:33,720 discussion all those in favor signify by saying I I all those opposed motion 248 00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:33,720 passes 249 00:23:37,159 --> 00:23:46,520 70 next item regular business is item on your agenda is item 8A a first reading 250 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:52,240 of an ordinance to add article 7 to chapter 42 of the code of the city of 251 00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:55,840 Mason Mr Price would you like to brief us on that one as well please yes this 252 00:23:54,039 --> 00:24:02,279 is an ordinance that in fact I'm a little surprised that that it hadn't 253 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:08,200 been part or inclusive already but this basically says that it's a crime it's a 254 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:12,279 misdemeanor to fall in to call in a false report involving the police the 255 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:18,200 fire or even ambulances and there is a there is a um 256 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:23,200 a penalty uh in fact there are several paragraphs involving the penalties in 257 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:27,840 terms of what the judge May impose upon that person whether it's a juvenile or 258 00:24:25,679 --> 00:24:34,520 whether an adult it could be Community Services or it could be $500 and 90 days 259 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:39,880 in jail so this all this does is I think do something that probably we all 260 00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:44,600 thought was was in there to begin with so I think this is sort of like a 261 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:47,799 housekeeping kind of thing with this ordinance thank 262 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:56,600 you mayor proam thank you Mr Mayor I move uh that 263 00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:01,520 we introduce the proposed ordinance contained under agenda item 8

by 268 00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:25,559 saying I I all those oppose 269 00:25:32,919 --> 00:25:35,679 motion passes 270 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,919 70 unfinished business council member 271

permission to close alley this was of course before this meeting uh but uh but 374 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:19,160 we received a request from Mr and Mrs Jeff at 2115 East Elm to close the alley 375 00:35:16,839 --> 00:35:25,920 between Oak and Elm and between uh Rogers and 376 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:33,320 Barnes um that would have been um on um when was that 4th I 377 00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:38,240 believe uh but anyway we received I received responses from the police chief 378 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:44,760 fire chief everybody was pleased all right so anyway that was granted and uh 379 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:49,200 and uh they held a uh their their um party for America apparently uh 380 00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:55,160 short-term goals and objectives this has been brought before the staff as well as 381 00:35:52,119 --> 00:36:00,560 the council's been working on it um to to try to describe goals and objectives 382 00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:07,079 from a one to two or threee period at Max and for the idea of 383 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:12,440 budgeting programming or planning and programming uh and I think it's a it's 384 00:36:09,359 --> 00:36:18,880 it's a excellent idea for for that purpose and uh the only issue is is that 385 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:24,359 I do firmly believe that this should involve the new administrator whenever 386 00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:29,079 he or she comes on board after approximately a month with the city or a 387 00:36:26,359 --> 00:36:34,200 month and a half then and then to meet with staff and Council to to review 388 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:40,560 these objectives that makes to me the the it's most logical sense uh and and 389 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,560 accomplish I think an important 390 00:36:41,359 --> 00:36:53,200 task uh DPW work hours uh the uh we are doing a um sort of a trial U basis our 391 00:36:50,960 --> 00:37:00,640 our DPW Personnel are going to be working from 6:00 to 4:30 p.m. every day 392 00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:05,560 or in other words the 10-hour day um uh uh and of course that's a 4- day week 393 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:09,680 for them uh we will have half the crew basically there Monday through Thursday 394 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:15,560 and the other Tuesday through Friday which means that on every day of the 395 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:20,480 week we will have people there uh doing DPW work and responsibilities taking 396 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:27,040 responsibilities especially in the areas of water and sewer and and the rest and 397 00:37:24,839 --> 00:37:32,040 uh and we're going to try it until I believe September 5th so we're going to 398 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:36,880 see how it how it works out our director of Public Works feels that there would 399 00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:41,599 be a number of efficiencies by going that way uh so on Tuesday Wednesday 400 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:49,160 Thursday we will have a full force working again from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 401 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:54,560 p.m. I did bring it to the attention of the director of Public Works that we 402 00:37:52,079 --> 00:38:00,520 have a noise ordinance that says you do not do construction before 7 a.m. so the 403 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:05,480 first hour is going to be and that was never going to be a problem for them 404 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:09,960 because it's really setting up uh a lot of barricading and and every all the 405 00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:14,240 stuff getting ready for the work so we're not going to have the street 406 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:19,160 sweeper going until 7 a.m. and and nothing noise nothing that's noisy that 407 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:28,599 is going to hopefully bother anybody will not start until 700 a.m. so we were 408 00:38:22,119 --> 00:38:28,599 aware of that um let's see 409 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:39,560 yes uh this was at the request of the city clerk of the numbering of 410 00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:45,400 resolutions and ordinances that she has asked that we take into consideration 411 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:51,480 that when we number a resolution and or an ordinance and it fails so does the 412 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:57,440 number the number and it leaves into it leaves our files in a gap in other words 413 00:38:53,560 --> 00:39:02,880 1 2 3 8 7 or 89 10 it's like some something's missing Well we'd like to 414 00:38:59,319 --> 00:39:07,720 avoid that for 50 years down the road that this is what was done and let's get 415 00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:11,880 back on track so the city clerk will be responsible to give you that number 416 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:16,680 after it's adopted okay whether it's a resolution 417 00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:24,160 or ordinance part of the minutes will be the number will be given at that time 418 00:39:21,599 --> 00:39:29,000 okay and I just pointed out the number of uh celebration activities that we 419 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:35,560 were going to have this past weekend and uh and uh Mr Brown has spoken eloquently 420 00:39:32,839 --> 00:39:42,200 on that part of it so that's all I have Mr Mayor thank you Mr Price are there 421 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,200 any questions for the acting City 422 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:51,800 administrator hearing none we are adjourned I just doesn't have the same 423 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,800 ring to 424 00:39:54,560 --> 00:40:00,359 it I
