[0:00] If you can, I mean, if it's legal, I
mean, I don't want to do anything not
[0:03] legal, but
>> I'll call them.
[0:04] » If State work out says that's That's
Like I said, we built for it, so I would
[0:08] say to
use it for it.
[0:12] » I'll continue it.
Um
[0:15] the other one Phil just sent this to me.
It's for the
[0:21] Weed and weed sprays and stuff.
>> Okay.
[0:25] This is for Magnus that he get the
chemicals to spray.
[0:29] » I don't have
[0:31] » I'll make a motion to pay it.
[0:36] » I'll second.
>> All those in favor say aye.
[0:39] » Aye.
>> Aye.
[0:40] » Aye.
[0:44] » Okay. And then the other thing I wanted
to let you know is we didn't receive
[0:50] our tax distribution.
Um
[0:55] the general property tax
that we received is $100,807.52.
[1:03] And the license excise tax was $5,695.32
for a total
[1:09] of $106,502.84.
[1:16] » 106284,
is that what it
[1:19] » 106
>> Four.
[1:22] » 10650284
total.
[1:31] » And that was spraying and installing the
fence.
[1:34] » Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, we just got it.
[1:38] They just posted today.
>> Um
[1:41] is this the bigger one
compared to the
[1:45] » Yes, usually one in the one in the last
>> All right.
[1:53] Any questions on that?
[1:57] We give what give.
>> Yes, yes.
[2:01] You need to
strike 30,000 next year.
[2:06] Every year.
>> Yeah.
[2:08] » Comes to a point campaign begins.
>> Have they given indication of
[2:13] how much less we're going to get
for next year?
[2:17] » That seems to be the mystery.
>> Yeah, I know.
[2:21] I deal with that with my job and it's
like they don't even know the formula
[2:25] for this stuff.
>> The cost variant
[2:28] » That seems
to be the most
[2:32] I think there's just so much in the air
happening here right now that
[2:35] everybody's afraid to do anything.
venture
[2:39] » And I believe it.
They were talking about money.
[2:44] local option and contact and stuff like
that that
[2:48] That depends on what the county sets
that at and everything else.
[2:51] » Yeah.
>> Okay.
[2:54] » It's all about the money.
>> Okay.
[2:56] Uh
next on the agenda is the
[3:00] some of the stuff we haven't got
repaired yet. Yeah, Senator working on
[3:04] the playground equipment number 87.
The next I guess is
[3:09] Janelle on the
Matthews
[3:13] Yeah, whatever. Green space that you
sent to us.
[3:19] » Did you guys all get a chance to kind of
look at the design and everything?
[3:23] » Yeah.
>> Yeah, we The survey results were great.
[3:25] We got a good response from the
community and and it wasn't much bad.
[3:31] Which is good.
Uh cuz you never know that. But yeah, I
[3:35] I think that we try to take everything
into consideration in that design that
[3:38] was brought up by the community and and
try to take into consideration
[3:42] that you
only have like one person that's able to
[3:44] do maintenance, try to keep it low
maintenance.
[3:48] Mr. Boston I know that the plan that
they gave this morning to me for like
[3:51] what the maintenance would look like for
the space that's designed that way.
[3:56] Um
And he said as long as you approve of
[4:00] that design and feel comfortable with
that maintenance plan, we can get
[4:03] started right in the month.
All is all paid for through my grant.
[4:07] Well, you know, once I sign the contract
with Crossland Works,
[4:10] they should all back it.
[4:18] » I see. Yeah.
>> He sends copies of the drawings
[4:22] through email.
[4:26] » Any questions anybody has or comments or
>> He wasn't going to make it here tonight,
[4:32] but if we have questions, I I can call
him or I can write them down. If it's
[4:36] something that's pressing.
>> I think the only I mean, I think this is
[4:41] well done and I think it's going to be
nice for the community. Yes.
[4:45] And even the the company that we had
come in way before then that really
[4:50] wanted us to go in debt and update the
building was talking about we needed to
[4:55] do something to the front of the
building to draw people
[4:58] more into it.
The only kickback I'm seeing is, you
[5:02] know, that's
the fire department's biggest revenue is
[5:05] the
uh car show.
[5:08] And we're going to have to make room for
them, I would say, by taking down the
[5:13] pine trees in the back to where
people will park a $150,000 car in the
[5:18] back
without sap dripping on it. And Phil
[5:22] don't like the trees anyway cuz they're
messy and keep breaking and whatever.
[5:27] So,
if we stay with it here in the front, I
[5:31] say we have to make room in the back for
um
[5:35] take them trees down back there on that
back row and
[5:38] open that up to the car show.
>> Yeah, I guess that was I didn't want to
[5:43] be able to attend the meeting that you
know, but I was kind of under the
[5:46] impression it was going to be more over
by the sidewalk, the whole setup. Which
[5:50] I thought that would be nice. I I
thought, you know,
[5:54] it wouldn't be so far
in front of the building. I mean, the
[5:58] picture that you showed it where
it's way it's probably over halfway on
[6:03] the front of the building and
>> We can make it smaller or move it over
[6:07] to the
>> I just I just think, like you know what
[6:11] I said, I think it's going to take a lot
of the front and I don't know if it's
[6:15] going to be on the
I don't know. I Like I said, I just I
[6:19] just don't know if it's going to be
so much on the front that it's
[6:25] You know what I mean? I don't know. I
thought, like I said, I thought it was
[6:28] going to be more
east of the sidewalk.
[6:33] » Just just almost to his office, straight
out to the street is what we were
[6:37] talking about first.
[6:40] » The design came back like this and I
just kind of
[6:45] » I took
took up a lot more property, but it
[6:48] really makes the building look nice with
the landscaping up against the building
[6:52] and
any other drawings and stuff.
[6:56] » It's totally up to you guys.
We can change that.
[7:04] » I can I just tell you my vote, I would
like to see it a little changed, but I
[7:08] don't I'm just one vote. You know what
I'm saying? I just
[7:11] I don't want to
You know what I mean? I just I don't
[7:16] want to slow the project up and but I
would like to
[7:19] » I think it looks good for the amount of
money that they're giving us. It looks
[7:22] like they're putting a lot more than
more than
[7:26] the spaces that they've done in other
spots.
[7:31] I'm assuming that's gravel.
>> It's a
[7:34] » walkway
>> deep line crushed limestone.
[7:36] » Yeah, it's like
>> You You listed that in the maintenance
[7:39] plan. It's really low maintenance. It It
says like you just need a spot weed and
[7:44] make sure that you
have down
[7:47] edgy.
[7:50] » Well, let me ask you this. If we did try
to change the design a little bit, is
[7:54] that something you could
get us
[7:57] » I mean, I Tim's pretty quick on the
design. So, it usually takes him not too
[8:01] much time. Let me give him a call real
fast.
[8:03] So, you can talk to you about like
>> Yeah, I mean,
[8:06] I I if you don't mind, I just I'm not
I'm like Dennis. I just think one, I
[8:11] don't want to overwhelm our worker that
all he's doing is now that you're
[8:15] spending time trying to keep that
well maintained and I don't want it to
[8:20] say
not be able to maintain it. I mean
[8:24] It's not like it's a full-time
[8:28] I mean
extreme on this thing.
[8:33] Yeah, that or I don't know if they can
incorporate it like this direction.
[8:38] You know what I'm saying?
Like if I just
[8:43] got to swing this
>> Right.
[8:45] » this way.
>> Yeah.
[8:47] » I don't know if you put the corner more
towards the road.
[8:51] » Yeah.
>> Yeah, we can talk I definitely
[8:53] » Yeah, I don't know if you can
do this one way or the other.
[8:58] Like I said, I just
What do you think?
[9:03] » Okay.
[9:05] Hey Tim.
[9:08] Sorry, I we're in the meeting right now
and they had some questions about the
[9:11] design. So, I just wanted to get you on
speaker phone.
[9:15] » I guess Tim, what we was kind of
wondering is, you know, we didn't really
[9:19] want it to go
that far across the front of the
[9:21] building. Is there a way
Is
[9:24] I guess my opinion, I thought it'd all
go more towards the sidewalk area, but
[9:29] is there a way to kind of
I don't want to say shrink it or
[9:32] » Shift it.
>> Shift it.
[9:35] » Um my one thing is if you guys have any
like what else maybe we could put into
[9:40] it, just from a design aspect, the thing
I was thinking I didn't want it to like
[9:43] be so busy cuz like you got an open
feel,
[9:47] you know, like a lot of openness and
then like if we put a bunch of stuff in
[9:50] there,
you know, I didn't want to make it too
[9:52] busy, you know what I mean, like
squishing everything. So,
[9:55] what thing would you like to take out or
things would you like to maybe add to
[9:58] the plan?
If you had any thoughts there if we can
[10:02] can like bring it in tighter, if that
makes sense.
[10:04] » Yeah, I feel like
>> Yeah, I guess the cornhole thing toward
[10:07] the sidewalk to the
>> Okay.
[10:10] » Uh, something Yeah, maybe move it
towards the shelter or I don't know.
[10:15] » Okay.
>> Something.
[10:16] I guess my question or our question was,
you know, is this something that you
[10:20] could do and still be on your time frame
to
[10:23] » Absolutely.
>> Sorry.
[10:24] » Oh, this is priority. I can do anything
right away. If I need to send you guys a
[10:27] design, I can just tell me
what's best for you guys. So,
[10:32] » So, what we're looking at is
>> I wonder if you guys What about these
[10:35] lands? Do you have these landscape beds
that we put all just in one landscape
[10:40] bed instead of three and then move the
cornhole over where the second landscape
[10:47] bed is next to like where the um
>> Yeah.
[10:50] So, wouldn't that be closer to the road?
>> Yes.
[10:53] » Or closer to the sidewalk?
>> Sidewalk. Yes.
[10:56] » Closer to the sidewalk. So, we could cut
out all the stuff past that um
[11:01] » ball.
>> circle.
[11:03] » So, where's the defined line you guys
would like to stop at?
[11:06] » I'd be honest with you, I'd rather
even the round circle with the flowers
[11:12] in the middle even if it was a little
closer to the shelter but still
[11:17] » Closer?
>> Yes.
[11:19] » Yeah, cuz the three out this wall right
here is where we were thinking.
[11:22] » Yeah.
>> Cut right to Chad's office.
[11:24] » Yeah.
>> How many windows over?
[11:26] » About About two windows over to the
north
[11:29] of the on the east side of the building
it I think what we were thinking no
[11:33] farther going past there.
>> So, the reason we kind of wanted to do
[11:37] this is the fire department have a car
show every
[11:40] September during the bridge festival and
um if we go we use both sides of the
[11:47] driveway when we have the event and if
we had to move them down on the north
[11:51] side we got a lot of pine trees down
there that
[11:54] I know with the tree sap they're not
going to park people close. We've had
[11:57] that before where
driver home home owners of cars would be
[12:01] like we're not even close to that.
>> It's only next to it.
[12:05] » Can we turn it that way
and like
[12:08] » Yeah, that's what she was saying is if
we can take maybe these things and put
[12:11] it the other direction. I think the
biggest thing is if we can incorporate
[12:15] the sign
>> Yeah.
[12:17] » um somehow cuz I like I said I don't
want it to
[12:21] look like the sign you you don't want to
cover it up. You know what I mean? Like
[12:25] » It's next to it.
>> The tree is right next to it.
[12:27] » Oh no, I don't I don't want to take the
trees down.
[12:30] » That's my favorite tree. That's my
favorite tree. I love that tree.
[12:33] » Yeah.
I guess I guess Tim I would say is if
[12:36] you could have us something maybe
redesign maybe by the end of the week if
[12:40] we can if we have to call special
meeting or whatever to get approval.
[12:46] » Or email that or email to someone and we
can look at it like we did this last
[12:51] time.
>> Yeah, that'd be great.
[12:52] » And then one person could call and say
yeah, we're good with that.
[12:56] » So, I can just send it to you like I I
just sent it last week to get it out to
[12:59] everybody.
>> That'd be perfect. Yeah.
[13:02] » Yeah, I was going to say and like I said
we we've only got one part-time
[13:05] maintenance guy so I don't really want
to go
[13:08] » overwhelming
>> overwhelming him that you know
[13:10] » That's the only part of the step guy so
it totally makes sense. So
[13:13] » And we definitely want to keep it up
once we get it.
[13:16] » Yeah.
>> Okay.
[13:18] Sounds perfect. That's pretty clear and
I got you so I'll send that and I'll
[13:21] work on that tomorrow or probably
Wednesday or Thursday and I'll get back
[13:24] to you Thursday the latest.
>> Okay.
[13:26] » Thanks.
>> Thank you very much.
[13:28] » Yeah, appreciate you all.
>> Yep, thank you.
[13:33] » All right.
I just need to be quick. I'll turn
[13:36] around real quick.
>> I don't know if they're going to be 100%
[13:38] but
they're pretty good at it.
[13:40] » And I and I thank you for giving us the
maintenance plan and stuff like that cuz
[13:46] you know,
it helps especially on the first few
[13:49] years make sure we get water uh
>> Sure, yeah. Um the trees are the only
[13:53] thing that take a lot of water. The
other stuff is mainly for that first
[13:57] year. After that they kind of
get rooted in everything.
[14:01] Up until then it gets to be a lot
easier.
[14:04] Okay, so once we get the design approved
and we get the awning we can get
[14:07] something back like early next week cuz
he wants to start at the end of the
[14:11] month. I don't really want to hold him
up so we can always have an opening
[14:14] before summer's over at some point.
>> That'd be really good.
[14:17] » Yeah, that'd be fine. So we'll we'll get
back with you as soon as we can.
[14:21] » Okay, perfect.
>> All right, thank you.
[14:22] » Everything else has already been
approved. You just need the design
[14:25] approval.
>> Right. Yeah, I was going to say
[14:27] everything
>> Well, I think we need to have a special
[14:29] meeting just to approve the design.
>> Yeah, I think we better because it
[14:33] for you know, public, you know what I
mean? I don't want you know, I think we
[14:38] need to have something either we
all three there's more than three
[14:42] majority rules and kind of thing but you
know, if you if one person gets an email
[14:47] that says I really don't like that then
I think we need to at least meet again
[14:51] just to say what don't you like or what
>> Yeah.
[14:54] » Or even on the email if Tim's in the
email you say we can also comment on it
[15:00] the email what if you did this? Would
that work? You know, and and you might
[15:04] be able to just say yeah, let me change
that real quickly. Still let us review
[15:08] it and then still get back with her.
>> Yeah, I mean it can all be done through
[15:11] email or if you guys want me to set up a
Teams meeting I can do that as well.
[15:15] Whatever works for you.
>> Okay.
[15:17] » So just let me know.
>> Thank you.
[15:20] » Yeah, thank you.
>> Okay,
[15:23] uh we talked about the new business for
the green space.
[15:27] Uh Mark, do you have any other new
business?
[15:29] » Mm-mm.
[15:32] » Yes, we got new
>> Uh
[15:35] yeah, I mean some of them we've already
asked about the
[15:38] streets things, but um
I can't
[15:42] all I get is sending a big loop when I
call Spectrum's
[15:47] customer service.
I don't get a real live person and it
[15:51] prompts you to another thing, then it's
going to get a call back in
[15:56] within 24 hours.
>> It's not like I want to
[15:59] I think I finally found a phone number
today, so
[16:02] » Okay.
>> I'll try to get a hold of them or I'll
[16:03] give it to you and you can try them.
>> I was going to say if um we end up
[16:09] having to
patch James's thing, maybe we can talk
[16:13] to that person and see if they'll look
at the two spots we know about.
[16:17] But I wanted to make sure
Spectrum has that permission or
[16:22] inspection before they do any more and
we ought to be able to back bill them
[16:27] for the road repair.
>> Right.
[16:30] » Yeah.
>> So, I'll get you that phone number
[16:32] tomorrow, so
>> Okay.
[16:34] » Uh
anything else?
[16:36] » Somebody had
asked me to send me a text message
[16:39] to ask if you'd be interested in adding
horseshoes next to the corn hole.
[16:43] He found something. He sent me a picture
of the concrete park,
[16:47] but something like that.
>> I think we can find them there.
[16:52] Maybe one of each or something.
>> One of each you could probably What's
[16:55] that?
>> Horseshoe.
[16:58] » The only thing is
>> How are you going to keep track of the
[17:00] horseshoe and who's going to get hurt?
>> Yeah.
[17:03] » Yeah, and they're a little bit less corn
hole that's a little
[17:06] safer.
>> Yeah.
[17:07] Yeah, I don't think
I don't really want a horseshoe to come
[17:10] hitting me like that kind of thing.
>> You ever seen me play horseshoes?
[17:14] » I'm playing
>> It's going to be close to the road side.
[17:17] It's going to be close to the road.
>> The horseshoe being hit and coming down
[17:19] here right at
>> How about a Jared course no ticket?
[17:22] » We said some Jared earlier.
>> Back in the day we used to do it.
[17:29] » We need to really look at the golf cart
situation that they spoke of earlier.
[17:34] We need to really start to enforce that
because what's going to happen is we've
[17:37] got the ordinance in place
and somebody does get hurt they're going
[17:41] to try to fall back on us because we're
not enforcing.
[17:44] We really need to get enforcement on
that.
[17:47] Even if we have to use days off or
there's times when he's not here
[17:52] have county assistant county coming in
and out.
[17:55] » They won't do it.
Town ordinance, they won't come in and
[17:57] do it.
It has to be the town marshal.
[18:01] The county won't do any ordinances in
any other town. I can tell you that
[18:05] right now.
Same with the state police, they won't
[18:09] oversee this a county ordinance. So, it
has to be the town doing it.
[18:14] That's why it's a town ordinance.
>> Correct me if I'm wrong, Chad. Is that
[18:18] correct?
>> Yes, that's correct.
[18:19] » That's what I thought. So, I
>> And as a matter of fact, they tell most
[18:23] of the
people that call that they can't
[18:27] enforce it. They would have to give them
[18:31] » So, I guess I would say Chad is you just
have to start stopping everybody and
[18:35] make sure they have proper proof of
insurance and make sure they're
[18:39] 16
>> 16 with a driver's license.
[18:42] » With a license to drive?
>> Yeah, they have we have our town has it
[18:44] there.
>> Have a 16 with a driver's valid license
[18:48] and an insurance.
>> Okay, right. That was our town ordinance
[18:51] they approved.
And then
[18:55] with your discretion to let them
somebody come and get it and take it
[18:59] back to first offense or is that how
that works or
[19:03] » I won't We won't let it
[19:10] » back the first offense, or is that not
work, or
[19:13] » I don't We want to do it. We can We can
go out and call parents and have them
[19:18] come and get it if
>> Yeah, that's the issue.
[19:21] » I'd say first
>> John Doe or
[19:23] first offense give them a warning,
second offense give them
[19:25] » They have to pay it something to get it
back. It goes in the barn.
[19:28] » Well, I'd say you just have to have a
tow service come and tow it.
[19:32] » Yeah.
>> As I say, first offense I'd call the
[19:36] parents and say somebody with a driver's
license 16 years old needs to come down
[19:40] and pick it up. Next offense
have it towed.
[19:44] » For us to put it in the barn and stuff,
we'd have to have a full audit for that.
[19:48] » Right, yeah.
>> Cover our butts on that.
[19:51] » Yeah, as I was saying, I don't want to
get dealing with that.
[19:54] » And then if something happens to it,
then we're going to be liable for that.
[19:58] » Yeah, as I was saying, just
Yeah, as I was saying, just do it like
[20:01] you do a car that's
impounded, so
[20:07] » No.
>> I think that's all.
[20:10] » All right. Um, I told Dennis earlier I
received um
[20:16] tax abatement forms for the
uh Matthews Feed and Grain Elevator.
[20:22] Uh I was I was up at the county and they
gave them to me and I told them I
[20:25] wouldn't sign till we had a meeting. Um
the one was from 2015 and the other
[20:32] one's 2016.
The 2015 was for eight tank overhead
[20:38] storage clusters.
The 2016 was additional building of
[20:44] to house heavy equipment. And then the
one in 2018 was additional 50 by 55
[20:51] building to exist.
[20:54] I told Dennis I believe these are all
10-year tax abatements. Um but
[20:59] what I guess I would like to do is
receive permission to sign off on it.
[21:03] Somebody from the town board president
has to sign off on it. But before I do,
[21:07] I'm going to make sure that this one in
2015 is still legit. If not,
[21:13] then I will not sign it. That's all
right.
[21:16] » That's correct.
>> So,
[21:18] someone like to make a motion to sign
the tax abate papers for elevator?
[21:23] » I'll make the motion.
>> It is made a motion.
[21:26] » I'll second it.
>> Great, second. All those in favor say
[21:28] "Aye."
>> Aye.
[21:29] » Aye.
>> Uh one other thing I was brought up or
[21:34] gentleman asked me last night at the
firm's meeting and he wasn't able to
[21:37] attend cuz he has to work tonight. Uh
Mr. Martini has two trailers up on
[21:42] Massachusetts Avenue right beside the
filling station.
[21:46] And what he would like to do, um those
trailers are getting outdated. He like
[21:51] to um
install take both of them out and
[21:54] install one in that facility.
But, I guess talking to the area plan
[22:00] that maybe it's not big enough in area.
Uh so, he'd have to get a variance
[22:06] um cuz square footage.
Um he wanted to know if the town was in
[22:11] favor of allowing him to do that. You
know, he'd meet all the guidelines. But,
[22:16] he don't want to go ask for a variance
if the town
[22:19] wouldn't like him to do that.
>> I think it'd be
[22:23] if he's putting in a newer model.
>> Right, yeah.
[22:26] » And that's in the '60s.
>> Yeah. Yeah, he would like to get rid of
[22:30] both of them. He says they're just
really not worth fixing them up.
[22:33] And he had one attendant that moved out
here.
[22:35] » And then
it might be the time that
[22:38] he would have to move that
container.
[22:44] » So,
is everybody all right with allowing Mr.
[22:47] Martin And like I said, he'll have to go
to the area area plan to get a variance
[22:52] and I mean
denied. Like I told him, I I have no say
[22:56] so in that part of it.
>> And then his neighbors have the say so.
[22:59] » Right, yes.
>> Okay.
[23:02] » So, are you all right with allowing him
to do that?
[23:04] » all right with it.
[23:09] The other thing is my brother is
building a
[23:12] facility at my sister-in-law's house. I
just want to make sure it's all right to
[23:17] sign off since Cindy's not here so he
can get the permit. He has the drawing
[23:22] and everything.
>> So he's a building it?
[23:25] » Uh
it's going to be
[23:28] 17 by 8 by 6. It's an existing well
house we're just going to
[23:33] install a new one over the top of it
basically.
[23:35] » Yeah.
I don't know if I have a credit card or
[23:39] a plane ticket or a window.
>> Yes.
[23:42] I'll sign off on it this time since
Cindy's not here and then I'll get
[23:46] I'll make a copy of this one and Mr.
Disney so Cindy has a copy of this one
[23:51] too.
Uh
[23:54] See if there's anything else I had.
Trying to think.
[24:02] I don't know if there's anything else.
>> I do have a quick question. On the
[24:05] lighting that
the lighting poles that they're going to
[24:07] put on the green space, are they how are
they going to wire those in? Are they
[24:10] going to be overhead or underground?
>> It's usually underground. It's the way
[24:12] they've done it in the last spaces and
not overhead.
[24:15] » All right, but you just want to make
sure we have that kind of clearance if
[24:17] we're going to have around that
>> Yeah, that area. Every time they've done
[24:21] it in the past in these areas.
>> Okay.
[24:25] » But I definitely I'll also send them the
email. I'll put that in the email I'll
[24:28] send to you guys.
I'm just letting you know that I can
[24:30] make sure that he's there.
>> Right.
[24:33] We don't really want any overhead in
that area.
[24:36] » It's usually just poles.
>> Right. I could have lost a lot of wires
[24:39] underground. That's fine.
[24:44] Yeah, I kind of thought about that.
>> Yeah, just now.
[24:47] » Yeah, I was just bringing it up that
we're going to have a lot of water so we
[24:50] might have to put an external
>> Speaking of that, how are you doing?
[24:55] » Make sure this first year is
20 or 20 or
[24:58] » Yeah.
I don't know I guess we can back the
[25:01] fire truck down here and dump it.
I don't know about dumping it, but
[25:06] » Hey,
I'm trying to remember how he did it,
[25:09] but he put a place for water in one of
our other places.
[25:12] » Oh, okay.
>> So, I'll ask him about it.
[25:15] » Tell him our only means of
water for outside
[25:20] is on the opposite end of our building.
>> Okay.
[25:23] » Our heating and air guys aren't happy
about it either. They just uh
[25:26] » Is that the only one of here with water?
>> I had to put a hose to service these
[25:30] units over here.
>> Uh I guess one thing I was going to
[25:33] bring up
to
[25:36] Mr.
Courtney, did Josh do the flowers again?
[25:40] » Yes.
I thought he was coming tonight. Thank
[25:43] you for bringing that up.
>> And I was going to say I honestly I seen
[25:46] it there today and I seen the flower
pot. I'm like, "Oh my gosh, it looks so
[25:50] pretty." And I was like,
"I wonder if he did that."
[25:53] » Yes, he did. Can I go ahead and send him
the $250? And then we voted on that that
[25:57] we would do that going forward.
>> but I guess I was just making sure that
[26:00] it was one we got an invoice for it and
two if he did it kind of thing. So,
[26:06] » Yes, he did. And I'll go ahead and send
him the money.
[26:09] » Well, tell him thank you. It looks nice.
That's all I have.
[26:14] That's all I have.
I might like to make a motion to make a
[26:17] motion to adjourn.
>> Rick, I'll second that in.
[26:19] » I'll waste that in.
>> I'll second that.
[26:22] » Yes, second. All in the favor say I.
>> I.
[26:24] » I.
>> Thank you.
[26:27] » All right, we'll go ahead and call the
meeting to order. Ask you to stand. Do
[26:30] this and lead us in a word of prayer and
I'll lead in the Pledge of Allegiance.
[26:35] » Father God in heaven, we come to you in
prayer today, Lord, thanking you,
[26:38] Father, for
being there for us, Lord, and thanking
[26:41] you
that uh
[26:43] you
give us uh
[26:47] wisdom and
help us have the
[26:50] knowledge to run the town in a
business manner that keeps it safe and
[26:55] sound and
and peace and harmony. Father, we just
[26:59] pray, Lord, that you would
bless those who can't be here with us
[27:03] today
and that
[27:05] you would
keep them safe whatever they're doing.
[27:09] We ask these things in the name of
Jesus. Amen.
[27:15] » I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the
[27:20] republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[27:26] justice for all.
[27:33] » We'll go ahead and get started with the
meeting. Hopefully it
[27:36] gets our voice this meeting. Last
meeting, I guess we didn't have no
[27:39] audio, so
>> I wish it would have.
[27:42] » They've been working on this week, but
hopefully there's no complications, so
[27:47] We'll go ahead and get started
approving the meeting minutes from May
[27:51] 12th meeting. Hopefully you all read
>> I make a motion to accept the minutes as
[27:54] written.
>> Okay. Have a motion from Rick.
[27:58] » I'll second it.
>> I have a second. All those in favor say
[28:01] I.
>> I.
[28:03] » I.
[28:34] Do you want to wait to do your later?
Okay.
[28:38] All right.
>> I just thought we got your father down
[28:40] on the agenda.
[28:45] » Um
we want to public comment. I do believe
[28:48] we have a couple people that's going to
be here a little few minutes late. And
[28:52] then we have a man named James Brown. If
you'd like to
[28:55] get up and speak, James.
What you'd like to present.
[29:05] » We got town hall.
>> Uh
[29:08] » Sorry. You got a town hall?
>> Yes.
[29:11] » And
we got kids up town here running around
[29:14] the golf cart. They're like 12, 14 years
old.
[29:17] And he hangs out cemetery all the time.
I go by there every day about
[29:24] go out to four before that. And he was
sitting there in back of the cemetery.
[29:29] And
just a little bit ago, he's going back
[29:33] there again sitting under a shade tree.
And
[29:37] I mean, there's stuff up town here that
needs to be done.
[29:41] But he don't ever do anything. He's
always at the cemetery or down at the
[29:43] camel bridge sitting.
I mean,
[29:47] he told me once he said,
"All I'm here for is to get my pension."
[29:53] He said, "That's it."
[29:56] So,
I mean,
[29:59] is that all the town board is to come in
town and get a pension?
[30:02] » No, I don't think so. So, I mean,
>> I mean,
[30:06] he don't don't do nothing else. I mean,
you know, we might as well just get the
[30:10] county to come in.
And drive through and
[30:14] every little bit two or three hours and
nothing be seen.
[30:23] And
you know, my driveway been 9 months.
[30:29] » Yeah.
>> And
[30:32] it should have been fixed the day they
paved it.
[30:34] They could have widened the pavement
out.
[30:37] And
made it wider.
[30:41] And they didn't do it.
[30:45] That's a 6-in drop and there's 18 in of
asphalt there where they milled it off
[30:49] and didn't put asphalt back on it.
I do a rental milling machine myself
[30:55] and put my own approach in?
I mean, I'm I'm about to do it.
[31:01] » I guess my thing is
you know, we agreed
[31:06] to to do whatever
to make it right. And so you want like a
[31:11] 24-in you think?
>> That's about what I had there before.
[31:14] » I was going to say at least 24 in or
more.
[31:17] » Yeah, so
I I talked to the gentleman about 2
[31:20] weeks ago and Dennis just asked before
the meeting started if I talked to him
[31:24] and I did.
I told him you know, we didn't want to
[31:26] wait till summer was over kind of thing.
And I need to call him again on
[31:32] Excuse me, the line striping
failed and so I got to get that redone
[31:37] and you know, I'm supposed to have the
company get back with me.
[31:41] And like I told Dennis, I talked to him
2 weeks ago on that. So I guess I'm just
[31:45] going to have to be
jerk about it and get it done.
[31:48] » Should have been a jerk about it when we
did the streets.
[31:51] What what should have been.
>> Well, I I've I'll try to do what I can
[31:56] to get it fixed. I'll promise you that.
So
[31:58] » Well, I mean
if we can't get satisfaction with them,
[32:01] we may have to
get an independent and just get it taken
[32:05] care of.
>> That's fine. Whatever you Whatever you
[32:08] want to do. Whatever you
[32:11] » I mean if he's waited for 9 months and
if he's going to string us along and not
[32:15] give us a straight up answer
I I'm I'm I would suggest we just go
[32:20] with an independent and get it done.
>> Is that a motion?
[32:24] » It's a motion.
>> I'll second.
[32:28] » What's the cost of getting an
independent cuz right now with the funds
[32:30] being tight
>> I would say
[32:34] I'm missing the front. If they mill the
asphalt out.
[32:38] There's no fine should be shorter
because they took the asphalt.
[32:42] There's spots in this town
that you were supposed to get 2 in of
[32:46] asphalt and I know guys went through and
tested a few spots. He said there's only
[32:51] half inch.
So they shorted you on your asphalt when
[32:55] they done it.
>> I would say that if we can't get it done
[33:00] then we'll just
they'll send the bill to them.
[33:03] » Yeah, we'll send the bill to them and
then
[33:05] » Right.
>> If we have to get it done, we'll get it
[33:06] done for them.
We want them responsible for the
[33:10] have to hire someone else to get it done
right.
[33:12] » Right. And that's what I told Dennis
about the wide stripe in my opinion is
[33:15] if this company don't want to come back
to it, we'll do it and send the bill to
[33:18] them.
>> Cuz there is driveways in town here when
[33:22] they come up to them, they widen it out.
Then the driveway, well no, my driveway.
[33:29] They put asphalt back where they took it
from.
[33:31] » We had We've had that to the motion that
we'll send that they we built for them
[33:35] and second that
point.
[33:39] » I have a motion to get the job done and
then have to send the bill to Brooks
[33:44] Construction
for payment.
[33:48] Seconded by Rick. All those in favor say
aye.
[33:51] » Aye.
>> Aye.
[33:54] All right.
>> Thank you.
[33:55] » All right.
>> Okay,
[33:58] John and Pam, we had your name up if
you'd like to come up and state your
[34:02] piece or whatever you'd like. So
>> I don't get smart.
[34:15] » We can
>> what? I don't know how to speak.
[34:17] » Just say your name and address.
>> Oh,
[34:20] but you know who I am.
>> We know who you are, Mr. Disney.
[34:23] » Mr. Disney's now on Disney.
>> 2076
[34:27] » Okay.
>> Okay, now you happy?
[34:29] » Yep, I'm good.
>> Shut up and just give me the old
[34:32] address.
Hey.
[34:34] I'll smack you.
Uh
[34:37] I think we'd like to get a permit so we
could put a trailer in and bring it in.
[34:42] Pull down.
>> Okay.
[34:44] It has to meet the
county codes, but it's got to be a
[34:49] a modular type trailer. I mean, it can
be a single wide, but it has to meet
[34:54] square footage,
uh siding and roofing, shingle roof. It
[34:59] can't be a mobile home.
Has
[35:02] be stamped on there.
>> I've got it.
[35:06] » All right. It's 20
76 ft by 16.
[35:11] » Yeah, well, they got the square footage.
That's fine.
[35:15] » I guess
like John brings it up and he talked to
[35:19] me a couple weeks ago about possibly
doing this.
[35:22] One thing I did do and I was hoping Mrs.
Kearns would know what she was going to
[35:26] build tonight, but I did these forms
because
[35:31] you may know before in the past we had a
book and I think it was kind of lost
[35:35] with Mr. Knuckles' passing and stuff
like that. And basically what we need to
[35:39] do is fill out the information and then
have it approved by a town board member
[35:45] as I was going to send to do. And
basically all we're doing is just saying
[35:48] that it's on not in conflict in anything
with the town of Matthews.
[35:53] And then you'll go to the area plan and
you'll get all your permits over there.
[35:56] » got one permit from the town of
Matthews.
[35:58] » Okay. Yeah, I got Okay, and you'll get
all the permits
[36:01] and then it's basically as long as you
do what they say, then we're all good
[36:06] kind of thing. So,
um
[36:09] I did like I said, I did for
I'd like to present these and
[36:14] if it's all right with Mrs. Kearns and I
here, I'd be glad to go over these
[36:18] that's all right with everyone.
>> Good.
[36:21] » I'll make a motion that we
step forward on that.
[36:24] » Okay.
>> I'll second that.
[36:26] » Yep.
>> All those in favor say aye.
[36:28] » Aye.
>> Aye.
[36:31] » So, I'm sorry to have you all fill this
out and if you after the meeting I'll
[36:35] get you the copy of it and
[36:39] or we can drop it off tomorrow to you or
whatever
[36:43] » Well, I'm going to be back tomorrow.
I've got two things in there to
[36:46] clear out and get ready to go.
>> Okay.
[36:49] » After I take my windows out.
>> I'll get these I'll get these filled out
[36:53] for you and I'll get it to you and then
you you just take the area plan and get
[36:56] your rest of your permitting you need.
>> It's a
[36:59] » Does that sound like a plan?
>> Yeah, sounds like a winner.
[37:02] » Okay, sounds good. I'm glad you guys are
getting something done.
[37:04] » Good night.
>> Huh?
[37:07] » Come on, let's go.
[37:12] Well, you told me to get up here. I'm
ready to do it.
[37:14] Come on, let's
>> That's all we have on the
[37:18] » cuz I'm sick.
>> Okay, all right. Hope you get feeling
[37:21] better.
>> Oh, thanks.
[37:23] » Uh next we have is uh claims for May of
2026.
[37:31] Motion to accept the Yeah, accept these
forms that I presented for the area
[37:36] plan.
And then also
[37:40] the motion included Mr. Disney's
approval for his
[37:45] installing a trailer.
[37:49] » Modular.
>> A modular, I'm sorry.
[37:51] » Modular.
>> Modular, yeah.
[37:55] Yeah, he called me a couple weeks ago
about that.
[37:56] » Yeah, but if you call it a trailer then
>> I think it still can be a trailer as
[38:01] long as it meets the criteria of having
a shingled roof, a foundation,
[38:06] » Yeah.
>> and all that good stuff and emergency
[38:08] straps so they don't blow over and stuff
like that.
[38:11] » Okay.
>> As long as they meet that criteria I
[38:13] think they're all right.
[38:16] Good.
>> Got you.
[38:18] » Uh next we have is claims for May of
2026. Uh Connie sent this out with the
[38:23] minutes. The total is 34,104
[38:28] 93.
Is that correct?
[38:31] » Yes.
[38:36] » Someone would like to make a motion or
>> To pay the
[38:39] » motion to accept them.
[38:42] We have a claims motion to pay claims
for May of 2026. Do I have a second?
[38:47] » Second.

[38:50] favor say aye.
>> Aye.
[38:52] » Aye.
[38:55] Okay, we're moving on. Uh department
heads, Mrs. Karen was unable to attend
[39:00] tonight. I think she sent an email out
earlier today if you guys got to read it
[39:04] saying that they did not have an area
plan meeting

working on the data center.

[39:46] I did get a quote while we're talking

He said it would run
[39:55] a couple thousand dollars, but he never
gave me an exact number, so.

[41:46] » I did not notice the motorcycles this
weekend, so
[41:50] » Yeah, I I can
>> They're better than they were. Much,
[41:53] much
better, but they left the uh
[41:56] Lions Den Saturday and come back down
our street just to blow it until they
[42:01] hit the stop sign.
>> The same bike?
[42:03] » Same three.
>> Okay.
[42:06] » Yeah.
[42:08] » All right.
Is that all you have, chief?
[42:11] » Yeah, well, we can also make a citizen
arrest if you want to do that. Since I
[42:16] didn't send the letter, would you give
us a standing from you and
[42:20] then go from there? That's how you want
to handle it.
[42:22] » Okay,
can I run them down for you?
[42:25] » No, not if you saw them.
>> Oh, I saw them.
[42:28] » Okay, that's what I mean. You can make
the citizen arrest and I can follow up.
[42:33] » me the information.
>> Yeah.
[42:35] Okay.
[42:39] » All right.
>> I'm the jail coordinator for the police
[42:41] department.
Um
[42:43] Connie, do you have any invoices?
>> Um yeah, I have a couple.
[42:50] Invoices.
Um
[42:53] It's that time of year to renew with
voice for our billing, our fund, and our
[42:59] payroll.
Um the total invoice balance is $6,990.
[43:06] We normally pay half from
sewer,
[43:10] um and general.
So, that balance I just need you guys to
[43:14] say it's okay to do that.
[43:32] » Can we do that?
Uh
[43:35] from three different accounts? Can we do
the
[43:39] sewer, storm, and the general since we
take
[43:43] payment
either way
[43:45] from the storm project out of that.
>> I'm just like Rick, I know that the
[43:51] general fund is really
going to be hurting in I'm just trying
[43:54] to think of ways like he's doing this to
save money in the general fund. And I
[43:58] mean, whether it's a
$500 here or $1,000 there, I
[44:05] I you know
>> I've never done that, but I can look it
[44:08] to you.
>> Okay, I just want to say I guess that's
[44:09] the only thing I would say is
>> Wait, if we're using it for all three
[44:13] accounts, it looks like we ought to be
able to vote
[44:15] » Well, that's what I would
>> Yeah, I just wanted to know how to go in
[44:17] and pull it out.
[44:20] » Pull all out there.
>> But, I will I'll call Keith up.
[44:23] » For $7,000, we ought to be able to put
that up.
[44:27] » I hope so.
So, do we have a motion to pay invoice?
[44:31] » to pay the
>> Motion by Rick.
[44:34] » Yeah.
>> Second by Ennis to pay Voice as
[44:37] presented for the
total 629
[44:41] $6,999.
