1
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:56,740
Okay.

2
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:29,480
So I just wanted to announce for everyone that's on and at the meeting right now that we were scheduled to have a budget committee meeting, but because of publishing errors, we're needing to reschedule that. And it may be the reason why we don't have a full council at the moment. So I just wanted to let everyone know that's currently here that we may need to wait a few minutes.

3
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,560
minutes before we are able to get a

4
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:37,080
quorum for Council to proceed with

5
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Council. So okay.

6
00:15:05,460 --> 00:15:06,580
Now, can you hear me?

7
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:12,920
Thank you.

8
00:15:19,310 --> 00:15:21,550
I didn't know exactly.

9
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,320
Can you hear me, David?

10
00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:54,930
Probably.

11
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,120
Say it again, Bill.

12
00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:03,220
No.

13
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:24,020
Okay. Can you hear me, David? Yeah. All right. We're good to go.

14
00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:29,610
I have no idea what you're doing.

15
00:16:37,710 --> 00:16:38,110
Yeah.

16
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,580
Oh, right here. So all I do is just go.

17
00:16:49,950 --> 00:16:51,150
Okay. Thank you.

18
00:16:51,150 --> 00:16:54,570
you. Adjust your screen bill,

19
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,540
David. All I can see is the

20
00:17:01,540 --> 00:17:08,500
top of your head. How about now? There we go. Now I got to set

21
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:13,320
out. That's true. How do you adjust the screen?

22
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,200
We just start

23
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,640
this over at seven. How long do we want to wait?

24
00:17:46,790 --> 00:17:47,550
So David, do

25
00:17:47,550 --> 00:17:50,490
We want to wait until seven.

26
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:55,590
Obviously because we're not doing a budget committee.

27
00:17:58,130 --> 00:17:59,950
It was probably best to go at seven.

28
00:18:00,550 --> 00:18:00,750
Okay.

29
00:18:01,090 --> 00:18:06,750
I feel like we don't have everybody here and it may have been something that was overlooked.

30
00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:14,090
So we can wait till seven and that's really where it'll work best as if we start at seven.

31
00:18:14,750 --> 00:18:16,410
That's our regular time, that's why.

32
00:18:17,050 --> 00:18:17,190
Yep.

33
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:26,130
Okay, I'm going to stay logged on. I'm just going to turn my, my sound off. But yeah, I'll be back at seven o'clock.

34
00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:28,810
It's good to see everybody that showed up.

35
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,620
If you want to go get something to eat now, it would be the time.

36
00:18:52,090 --> 00:18:53,510
David's got the whole screen now.

37
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:47,140
Yes, it does, Bill.

38
00:20:03,950 --> 00:20:04,530
Looks great, Bill.

39
00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:16,400
What's that, David? Is that better?

40
00:20:18,980 --> 00:20:24,180
yeah you need to turn up your volume your

41
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,680

42
00:20:38,460 --> 00:20:38,800

Hello, Margaret.

00:37:44,090 --> 00:37:49,370
Sorry. I said I apologize for being late. I was having some computer issues.

51
00:41:09,580 --> 00:41:10,580
Where did it go?

52
00:48:27,980 --> 00:48:28,480
Yes,

53
00:48:31,570 --> 00:48:40,610
I'm going to wash my hand, could my hand be faced? Well, a crown for good. Somebody don't have to help you because I'm waiting. Good

54
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:39,380
afternoon, Margaret. Good afternoon.

55
00:52:03,910 --> 00:52:06,870
And I don't have yellow hair. It just looks like that.

56
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,100
And look, see the mustache is all yellow.

57
01:10:35,700 --> 01:10:36,840
Can anybody hear me?

58
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:43,460
I can hear you. Hear

59
01:10:56,290 --> 01:11:03,810
me again. I just turn off the thing. Yeah, I can hear you. Perfect. Yes.

60
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:22,840
Do we have a quorum?

61
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,060
Let us start the meeting, David. We're at 7 o'clock.

62
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:05,740
I'd like to welcome everybody to the budget committee or excuse me, the regular council meeting.

63
01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:11,420
Can you do the roll call? Winona, please.

64
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:23,240
We have Bill Martin here.

65
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:23,340
here.

66
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:25,980
David Meeker.

67
01:12:26,700 --> 01:12:26,960
There.

68
01:12:28,140 --> 01:12:29,440
Don Richter.

69
01:12:31,610 --> 01:12:32,330
Margaret Bell.

70
01:12:32,890 --> 01:12:33,150
Here.

71
01:12:35,310 --> 01:12:36,830
Mario DPRL.

72
01:12:37,270 --> 01:12:37,930
Here.

73
01:12:39,370 --> 01:12:41,750
Do we have Dave Benson?

74
01:12:52,500 --> 01:12:54,460
And that is all we have for local.

75
01:12:55,980 --> 01:12:56,500
Thank you.

76
01:12:58,940 --> 01:13:01,560
The letter of interest is about a council member.

77
01:13:04,230 --> 01:13:06,310
So we received a letter of interest.

78
01:13:07,670 --> 01:13:10,590
I'm going to pull it up on the screen right now.

79
01:13:12,010 --> 01:13:12,730
Thank you.

80
01:13:12,730 --> 01:13:13,210
Can

81
01:13:20,510 --> 01:13:20,930
you remember?

82
01:15:10,030 --> 01:15:28,070
Okay, so we have received a letter of interest from Billy Nice. So up to the mayor and the council. If council wants to consider him for the council position, let's make it. Is

83
01:15:30,790 --> 01:15:31,510
that from again?

84
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:40,240
Billy Nice, he lives at 314 Park Street.

85
01:15:43,570 --> 01:15:48,910
And he's here actually if anybody wants to talk to him or if anyone has any questions,

86
01:15:48,910 --> 01:15:49,170
questions.

87
01:16:14,140 --> 01:16:15,460
Councillor of questions.

88
01:16:32,020 --> 01:16:34,520
Is he here? Yes.

89
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:50,700
Councillor has

90
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:23,880
no questions.

91
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,280
Looks like he's endorsed by Bill Martin.

92
01:17:39,380 --> 01:17:51,060
Well, for this Margaret, I've known Billy since he was not in school and I know that if he

93
01:17:51,060 --> 01:17:54,360
comments to something he follows through uh

94
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,840
this is Councilman Martin I wouldn't have

95
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,500
told him about it stuff if I didn't believe it would be good for the city and

96
01:18:08,500 --> 01:18:14,050
he's a young man coming in so I think it'd be great.

97
01:18:22,330 --> 01:18:23,890
Any other comments for Billy?

98
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:47,280
Do we have a motion to accept Billy as before the O of the office? I'll make the

99
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:56,920
motion? I'll second it. You have a motion and a second. All in favor of Mr. and I say aye.

100
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:01,530
Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.

101
01:19:06,610 --> 01:19:08,170
I think it passed.

102
01:19:13,270 --> 01:19:15,210
Record. I don't have any days. Just think.

103
01:19:20,350 --> 01:19:23,890
I don't. I don't have the oath of office paper.

104
01:19:26,930 --> 01:19:27,990
Thank you. When I

105
01:21:38,610 --> 01:21:40,790
shouldn't really read that.

106
01:21:40,790 --> 01:21:40,930
Oh,

107
01:21:44,290 --> 01:21:46,230
does he have a copy of it there?

108
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:34,320
I need to administer both of office to be really nice.

109
01:22:38,330 --> 01:22:42,830
Don't I just have Billy read through this? Oh, she's

110
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,640
Billy. You can take the office.

111
01:23:06,740 --> 01:23:17,000
Oh goodness gracious. Why is that? I Billy nice as a member of the guest and city council promised to uphold the constitution

112
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:26,080
of the United States of America, the law of the state of Oregon as well as the chapter

113
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:38,020
of charter can't read of the city of gas and to perform my official duties to the best

114
01:23:38,220 --> 01:23:39,300
of my abilities.

115
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:43,840
Thank you and welcome to council.

116
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:47,840
Welcome to council.

117
01:23:52,380 --> 01:23:55,200
moving forward. Do we have a need?

118
01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:01,440
I wanted to announce that Dave Benson arrived at the meeting.

119
01:24:03,460 --> 01:24:08,880
We'll just say 7, 7, 10 he arrived so that we have a full council.

120
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,960
All right. Now that we have Billy Nice, we have a real full council.

121
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:18,560
So great. We could move on to.

122
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:28,840
I don't know if anybody wants an explanation but the budget committee meeting can't be held tonight because I wasn't able to publish the notice in the newspaper.

123
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:47,400
There was some sort of error with the newspaper that they just publish it. So we are looking to possibly reschedule the first budget committee meeting at April's meeting that will need to schedule the budget committee dates.

124
01:24:54,420 --> 01:25:02,300
So I just wanted to throw that out there but yeah, remove it off a budget and we'll just do the regular meeting tonight.

125
01:25:03,060 --> 01:25:04,280
Okay, thank you.

126
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:06,320
Thanks for having us.

127
01:25:13,130 --> 01:25:16,770
Move to the song to additions and deletions to the agenda.

128
01:25:17,250 --> 01:25:17,690
have

129
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,480
an addition to the agenda. Okay.

130
01:25:27,250 --> 01:25:28,830
Going west on

131
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,880
property there's a bunch of mud on the road

132
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:42,180
it's coming off of the city's property and they're getting it onto the pavement and right in front

133
01:25:42,180 --> 01:25:47,460
of Tony's house that piece of property needs to be scraped and it had new gravel put on it.

134
01:25:57,680 --> 01:25:58,220
I can show

135
01:25:58,220 --> 01:25:58,580
of the

136
01:26:01,910 --> 01:26:05,490
water guy, the piece of property tomorrow of

137
01:26:09,900 --> 01:26:11,340
Mayor Hall, Old Mayor Hall.

138
01:26:15,540 --> 01:26:22,340
I am aware of that and I am going to get that going as soon as it starts to dry out just

139
01:26:22,340 --> 01:26:24,580
a little bit so it doesn't create any more mud.

140
01:26:25,940 --> 01:26:28,500
Okay thank you very much because I parked my truck there.

141
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:34,020
No worries yeah I know that it's been chewed up quite a bit in the last couple months so

142
01:26:34,020 --> 01:26:37,680
I'm just giving it a little bit more time to dry out before I start scraping it.

143
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:41,040
Okay thank you very much. You're welcome.

144
01:26:47,050 --> 01:26:49,550
Is that Rick is up part of the city's

145
01:26:49,550 --> 01:26:52,130
property? Yes, it is.

146
01:26:54,140 --> 01:27:00,700
Yes, part of the church street right away. Okay, just

147
01:27:00,700 --> 01:27:02,720
curious. Yeah, no worries.

148
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,580
None against you, Mr. Ripper.

149
01:27:13,230 --> 01:27:15,370
No other additions moving

150
01:27:17,260 --> 01:27:20,380
forward to citizen communication staff

151
01:27:23,290 --> 01:27:24,890
report no

152
01:27:35,930 --> 01:27:38,950
citizen communication staff

153
01:27:40,740 --> 01:27:43,920
reports about Jared are you online?

154
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:57,760
Jared's out there.

155
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:00,500
We've got a

156
01:28:07,860 --> 01:28:09,460
staff report

157
01:28:09,460 --> 01:28:10,100
from Winona.

158
01:28:24,420 --> 01:28:27,960
I'm trying to get Dave Benson situated on his computer so give me a few

159
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:28,340
seconds.

160
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,300
I'm not sure what's going on. I'm just having a problem with trying to get Mr. Bunsen.

161
01:31:51,490 --> 01:31:53,830
Are we able to continue with the meeting?

162
01:32:01,050 --> 01:32:02,830
Having technical difficulties.

163
01:32:05,110 --> 01:32:13,450
So there is an Evelyn that says that she wants to speak to the council. So can you call on her, David?

164
01:32:19,480 --> 01:32:20,260
Who was it?

165
01:32:23,630 --> 01:32:28,910
Her name is Evelyn. She's on there. Her hand is raised. Okay.

166
01:32:32,180 --> 01:32:35,340
Evelyn, you have the floor. You can't speak.

167
01:32:35,340 --> 01:33:03,370
So I didn't quite know how to do this. It's my first time. So the reason I wanted to come tonight is because I received my water bill and it was extremely high to come to find out that it was just being estimated and when you're trying to plan your budget and then all of a sudden you get this big bill.

168
01:33:04,330 --> 01:33:10,250
That makes it kind of hard during these times right now when you're not expecting that.

169
01:33:10,510 --> 01:33:16,730
Or if we would have known that it was being estimated for a while, you don't go OK and expect it.

170
01:33:16,830 --> 01:33:20,670
But when you don't even expect it, that's not very good.

171
01:33:22,150 --> 01:33:28,490
And he's getting paid, I don't know who it is, but is getting paid to read the meter, not estimate.

172
01:33:29,650 --> 01:33:39,730
So, you know, that's my concern, I've been reading quite a few people's concerns about it, and, you know, there's a lot of people that's not exactly happy about that.

173
01:33:39,890 --> 01:33:43,050
So, that's why I'm here. Thank you.

174
01:33:43,050 --> 01:33:44,030
did

175
01:33:49,820 --> 01:33:53,520
you have a response? Rick,

176
01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:07,310
that's it. Sorry, it's a long day. But you have to say, Rick, does this

177
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:17,400
a valid point she's making? I do apologize that there was not a communication

178
01:34:20,020 --> 01:34:22,520
that the

179
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:26,080
The meters were being estimated in the last couple months.

180
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,860
This was the month that I was able to put my hands on every single meter.

181
01:34:31,700 --> 01:34:35,620
We are transitioning into a different process with our meter reading that's going to get

182
01:34:35,620 --> 01:34:41,840
easier for me to accomplish all the tasks within the city as well as reading the meters.

183
01:34:42,660 --> 01:34:43,820
So I do apologize for that.

184
01:34:45,180 --> 01:34:49,280
I can definitely take your information down and give you a call tomorrow and go over it in

185
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:55,920
little bit more detail. If that's something that works for you, I don't have a problem reaching

186
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:56,580
out to you tomorrow.

187
01:35:04,060 --> 01:35:07,960
Thank you. I appreciate that. Like I said, if we would have known to expect,

188
01:35:08,220 --> 01:35:13,960
you know, we're having to estimate right now, and your bill may be a little higher once we get

189
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:22,220
to read the actual meter. Okay. But just to open it up and go, what? You know, that's kind of a little

190
01:35:22,220 --> 01:35:30,340
hard. I completely understand and I do hold it like I said for that um we grab a

191
01:35:30,340 --> 01:35:37,640
stretch paper with what is your phone number. It's 503

192
01:35:40,300 --> 01:35:47,880
816 3199. And what's your

193
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,100
address? 413 church street.

194
01:35:55,490 --> 01:35:58,970
All right everyone I will give you a call tomorrow

195
01:35:58,970 --> 01:36:08,530
morning is you do you go to work pretty early or anything or do you stay home? I'm home. Okay it'll

196
01:36:08,530 --> 01:36:12,930
probably be in between nine when I get out there and I'll be able to follow once I check some stuff

197
01:36:12,930 --> 01:36:20,850
out. Okay I appreciate that it was just kind of a shocking you know just open it up and go what you

198
01:36:20,850 --> 01:36:27,310
know because I knew we had used less water you know this past month and to have it way higher it was

199
01:36:27,310 --> 01:36:44,120
like, whoa. Well, yeah, no, I definitely understand. Um, we'll get you all squared away. And I will make sure that I have a little bit better communication with the residents within the community.

200
01:36:44,260 --> 01:36:52,200
If there's other time when this happens again. Okay. I appreciate that very much. Thank you guys.

201
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:56,100
kindly. Excuse this council in

202
01:36:56,100 --> 01:36:56,300
martyr.

203
01:36:59,590 --> 01:37:01,870
Go ahead. Bill. Ah I'm

204
01:37:01,870 --> 01:37:04,390
just wondering if it's all right.

205
01:37:04,910 --> 01:37:05,030
If

206
01:37:05,030 --> 01:37:06,890
how much higher would this bill

207
01:37:06,890 --> 01:37:08,910
than your normally bills are?

208
01:37:10,270 --> 01:37:13,190
Sence was 29 this was 83.

209
01:37:14,250 --> 01:37:14,930
The

210
01:37:17,910 --> 01:37:21,310
shock. Yes, ma'am.

211
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:28,620
We will look into this problem gauge

212
01:37:28,620 --> 01:37:30,900
Council will and discuss it.

213
01:37:31,700 --> 01:37:37,000
Okay, yeah, when I called in because I've been reading other people, you know,

214
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:41,000
complaining of their water bill and I thought, you know, okay, you know,

215
01:37:41,060 --> 01:37:42,400
maybe they have a leak like that.

216
01:37:42,420 --> 01:37:44,740
And then I opened up mine went, whoa, wait a minute.

217
01:37:45,180 --> 01:37:51,460
You know, we will get to the bottom of this matter for everybody in the city.

218
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:55,280
You know, because I understand when there's times when, you know, stuff happens

219
01:37:55,280 --> 01:38:02,680
and you can't you know like that but it just makes it easier to know that to expect it you know

220
01:38:05,060 --> 01:38:10,100
when it's that big of a difference. I agree with you 100% I'd be a little shocked too if

221
01:38:10,100 --> 01:38:16,140
I was like that. And I was trying to be really nice when I called in because it wasn't her fault.

222
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:20,980
Well we appreciate that.

223
01:38:23,300 --> 01:38:27,100
So all right well I appreciate you guys. Thank you.

224
01:38:27,100 --> 01:38:30,080
Thank you, Evelyn. You're quite welcome.

225
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:35,800
Any more SISC in the

226
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:40,740
communications? I do have a similar complaint. I did

227
01:38:43,590 --> 01:38:46,370
concerning the same thing. I don't know if you guys want to

228
01:38:46,370 --> 01:38:51,630
address that specifically or if obviously we're moving

229
01:38:51,630 --> 01:38:55,530
forward with the water reads and trying to figure out the

230
01:38:55,530 --> 01:38:59,590
situation. How does the council feel about either reviewing

231
01:38:59,590 --> 01:39:04,050
the complaint or just moving forward. I have it.

232
01:39:07,620 --> 01:39:09,200
Just a second

233
01:39:11,250 --> 01:39:13,190
here. Here we go.

234
01:39:15,580 --> 01:39:16,100
Similar

235
01:39:16,100 --> 01:39:22,080
to what we have with that previous issue.

236
01:39:27,380 --> 01:39:29,140
Any other citizen communication?

237
01:39:34,540 --> 01:39:35,120
Now we can

238
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:42,140
move on to staff council committee supervisor reports. Winona, would you go first?

239
01:39:46,860 --> 01:39:50,570
We have one more question.

240
01:39:51,790 --> 01:39:52,770
You got it.

241
01:39:54,860 --> 01:39:56,300
Go ahead, Mr. Heddeen.

242
01:39:59,570 --> 01:40:00,390
All right, can you hear me?

243
01:40:01,070 --> 01:40:01,250
Yes.

244
01:40:01,730 --> 01:40:01,970
Okay.

245
01:40:02,610 --> 01:40:03,630
I'm Gary Heddeen.

246
01:40:03,670 --> 01:40:06,050
I'm the athletic director up at the high school.

247
01:40:06,930 --> 01:40:09,690
And I just wanted to, and I've talked to Rick about this.

248
01:40:09,770 --> 01:40:16,550
But just with this year, we are going to be able to play our spring sports.

249
01:40:16,550 --> 01:40:25,430
And so I just want to talk to you guys about using the fields down at Brown Park.

250
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:39,030
We are supposed to start the end of this month with practices and games in April and May.

251
01:40:40,010 --> 01:40:43,410
And it's things are happening real quick for us, the changes.

252
01:40:43,410 --> 01:40:56,710
but just how you want us to handle spectators on our facilities at the school.

253
01:40:56,930 --> 01:41:03,270
We're limiting spectators. Tonight is a first night where we allowed anyone in

254
01:41:03,270 --> 01:41:12,650
the gym besides participants. And so because it is a public park, I didn't know if I

255
01:41:12,650 --> 01:41:20,370
could do that or if you have a limitation on how many people we are going to have down there.

256
01:41:25,900 --> 01:41:30,580
I think Rick could answer that the best. Okay and Rick and I have talked so I just

257
01:41:30,580 --> 01:41:37,800
thought I would bring it before the council also just to as we're moving forward.

258
01:41:38,660 --> 01:41:47,120
Does council have any concerns? I have a question. So I know that several school districts

259
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:55,980
are limiting spectators to home team spectators only.

260
01:41:56,580 --> 01:41:59,380
What was kind of the thoughts of the school district?

261
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:08,420
That's what we're doing right now with our home games, both indoor and our home football game.

262
01:42:08,480 --> 01:42:16,180
We have a home football game this Friday and we're limiting it to home spectators and actually right now just parents or family.

263
01:42:19,660 --> 01:42:25,380
but it's a little more difficult at the venue down there at Brown Park just because there's

264
01:42:25,380 --> 01:42:34,320
so many entrances. So I didn't know if that is how the city is going to want us to do

265
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:44,840
that or if we're going to because it is more open if we'll be able to allow more people.

266
01:42:54,420 --> 01:43:17,600
Yeah, I think what I'm going to ask is that I take a brief moment to just look at what the OSAA is going to do or what they're thinking that they're going to do at the schools, even though it is a public park, it's still going to fall under the school's requirement more than likely since it is students going to be playing the sports.

267
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:28,360
So, let me look into it a little bit more, Mr. Indian, and let's, are you available Friday?

268
01:43:31,480 --> 01:43:41,700
Let's see, probably around 11, yeah, that's my prep time, so I would be able to talk then.

269
01:43:42,440 --> 01:43:45,080
And I have a lot of that information to what we can do.

270
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:47,280
to the one thing we have done this year,

271
01:43:47,480 --> 01:43:51,620
we're sending baseball and softball teams to opposite sites,

272
01:43:52,020 --> 01:43:55,240
so that it won't be both games going at once,

273
01:43:55,620 --> 01:43:58,040
there'll be either baseball or softball.

274
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:02,380
So we've done that to kind of alleviate the number

275
01:44:02,380 --> 01:44:04,220
of people who would be down there.

276
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:05,920
Makes sense.

277
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:09,900
Go ahead, Bill.

278
01:44:10,820 --> 01:44:12,200
This is Councilman Martin.

279
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:20,240
You could, I don't know how you could do it, but Park Street where it used to be no parking

280
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:20,780
and stuff.

281
01:44:21,700 --> 01:44:25,020
If you could get a hold of the parents and stuff, they can park there now.

282
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:29,440
That no parking stuff hasn't been repainted or anything like that.

283
01:44:29,980 --> 01:44:38,700
So the public can use that part of the road right there for parking at the football games

284
01:44:38,700 --> 01:44:39,180
and stuff.

285
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,800
No, this is for the baseball and soccer fields.

286
01:44:43,860 --> 01:44:58,500
Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but I'd like to get it out to the public that they can park there through football or whatever, you know, I try to save that spot right below our gate for the visiting team bus.

287
01:44:58,500 --> 01:44:59,480
So

288
01:45:00,140 --> 01:45:16,700
As much as possible, I have done that. Yeah, no, that's fine, but I'm just, you know, if you could get it out there to the. Okay, and stuff a little more that they can park there and they will not get issued or cited. Okay, I will let them know. Thank you very much.

289
01:45:22,740 --> 01:45:34,420
Did that answer your questions, Mr. Hitting. Yes, and I, like I said, I had talked to Rick. I just wanted to kind of bring it up. To the council to just to make sure there weren't any.

290
01:45:34,420 --> 01:45:36,340
I address all concerns.

291
01:45:36,980 --> 01:45:38,080
Thank you.

292
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:39,300
Gary, it's Mario.

293
01:45:39,820 --> 01:45:45,120
Yeah, I definitely am in favor of just sticking with what the school is currently doing.

294
01:45:45,580 --> 01:45:51,020
I know that they spend a lot of time and energy and trying to keep the kids safe.

295
01:45:51,460 --> 01:45:55,440
So I'm 100% comfortable with the protocols you guys are currently using.

296
01:45:56,380 --> 01:45:57,780
Okay, thank you.

297
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:04,220
any other citizens and communications.

298
01:46:08,540 --> 01:46:12,660
Moving on to staff, Council Committee Supervisor Reports.

299
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:15,720
Jared, are you online?

300
01:46:23,270 --> 01:46:24,570
Does Jared have a report?

301
01:47:11,440 --> 01:47:14,840
Here's the staff report. I'm not sure where Jared is.

302
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:26,980
However, here's the stats and then we also have the notable

303
01:47:29,900 --> 01:47:30,340
I

304
01:47:56,800 --> 01:48:05,080
guess as anybody have any questions or something we can forward to Jared and then we can kind of follow back up with next month with guarding the staff report.

305
01:48:07,990 --> 01:48:08,430
Okay.

306
01:48:12,440 --> 01:48:14,180
Rick, would you like to give your report?

307
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:23,780
I can do that.

308
01:48:24,300 --> 01:48:25,020
Thank you.

309
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:44,400
So last Saturday, that would be the Saturday night, the 13th, at about 130, I received a phone or why not I received a message from the fire partner and she reported to me.

310
01:48:44,840 --> 01:48:52,700
We had a hit and run accident on involving our fire hydrant on third and church on the northwest corner.

311
01:48:56,620 --> 01:49:05,620
not fully aware of the situation with the driver. All I know is that he couldn't leave with the vehicle so he walked home.

312
01:49:07,440 --> 01:49:22,460
There was, it did separate from the hydrant or from the valve, the isolation valve, so it ended up losing probably five to 10% of a six inch pipe flowed.

313
01:49:22,460 --> 01:49:30,280
load were until about 10 30 Sunday morning when the contractor was able to get there.

314
01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:33,540
We got it off.

315
01:49:33,780 --> 01:49:34,660
We dug it down.

316
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:38,380
They got out of here about 11 30.

317
01:49:40,460 --> 01:49:45,560
I stuck around nature everything was good, and I got home about 2 30 Sunday afternoon.

318
01:49:46,660 --> 01:49:51,160
and then Monday, we ended up completing the project,

319
01:49:51,380 --> 01:49:52,300
putting it back together,

320
01:49:53,500 --> 01:49:56,240
re-doing the thrust block behind the hydrant

321
01:49:57,060 --> 01:49:58,420
and all that stuff.

322
01:49:59,340 --> 01:50:01,460
The one thing that I noticed when that was done,

323
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:05,240
it was a newer hydrant that was replaced in 18

324
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:08,900
and it wasn't installed correctly.

325
01:50:09,500 --> 01:50:13,140
I think that that's something that as we move forward,

326
01:50:13,140 --> 01:50:22,380
I'm going to want to be a part of the of being on site during a lot of this installation of stuff so that it is done properly.

327
01:50:24,900 --> 01:50:34,820
The sidewalk construction on Cottonwood has slowed down. We're waiting for the asphalt company to come in and finish the asphalt.

328
01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:41,160
the contractor will be here tomorrow to finish the cleanup and to do a little bit more fill

329
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:45,600
in some of the areas that we found just didn't have enough fill dirt.

330
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:51,840
And that should be wrapping up. We'll do the final punch list walkthrough.

331
01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:57,720
It's like the 6th or 7th when that's set up of April.

332
01:50:57,720 --> 01:51:10,580
So, um, how to meeting with gas and heights to McDonald, Tony, um, Chris Kitchridge, all their engineer broke our engineer met with them last week.

333
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:13,840
They are starting the underground utilities.

334
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:18,120
In two weeks.

335
01:51:20,380 --> 01:51:21,780
One or two weeks, I should say.

336
01:51:21,780 --> 01:51:25,100
So that's a good bonus.

337
01:51:25,540 --> 01:51:27,300
There are some other things,

338
01:51:27,460 --> 01:51:30,120
loopholes that they're gonna have to go through

339
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:31,220
as they move forward,

340
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:33,880
just because of some issues that they've had

341
01:51:34,500 --> 01:51:37,960
with permitting and doing work outside of the permit,

342
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:39,700
what the permit allowed.

343
01:51:43,440 --> 01:51:46,140
There's construction at the fire station.

344
01:51:47,180 --> 01:51:50,080
If you've noticed some vehicles parked down there

345
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:52,180
at the park and stuff, they do have permission.

346
01:51:52,180 --> 01:52:01,280
I gave information to park at the park and use a little bit of our onion lane property for their building materials and their parking.

347
01:52:04,180 --> 01:52:13,240
I was able to do a little bit of cleaning of the property between the rear, the back building of the fire station and the new parking lot.

348
01:52:13,700 --> 01:52:17,000
I cleaned that area up a little bit and threw a little bit of gravel down.

349
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:47,390
As we move into the AMRs and the replacing the meters, I'm going to have a lot of dirt to dispose of, so I'm going to make that our working towards making that a public works yard so that I can dump stuff there and have it clean and organized with the gas and heights and some of the projects happening within the city and stuff that's come up.

350
01:52:47,390 --> 01:52:55,110
I would like to ask the Council's permission to start the process of getting an intern.

351
01:52:58,340 --> 01:53:08,860
I would like to see something happen end of April beginning of May and have it last through October.

352
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,920
There's quite a bit of things that could be done with two hands.

353
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:20,700
and I feel that as the city grows and progresses

354
01:53:20,700 --> 01:53:22,980
and gas and heights start moving forward,

355
01:53:23,760 --> 01:53:27,460
the need for a second employee is going to be pretty substantial.

356
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:32,260
But yeah, that's basically what I have.

357
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,400
The hydrant on third, just a recapital quick,

358
01:53:37,580 --> 01:53:40,040
that is still bagged and there still comes around it.

359
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:50,320
After the accident there was a gasket that was damaged so I do have replacement parts coming in and the tool to do that.

360
01:53:52,260 --> 01:53:57,560
So that's going to, that's going to get replaced and rebuilt as soon as those parts come in.

361
01:54:00,430 --> 01:54:15,050
I'm just a quick note, I don't know if everybody's aware, but I'm going on vacation, Saturday, I talk to Kyle at LA Water Coa, in case there's any emergencies, I can get hold of him.

362
01:54:16,250 --> 01:54:24,950
And I will have all my phone, my tablet and everything. So if there's any questions, I can still get a hold of.

363
01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:31,920
So any questions from council.

364
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:34,380
So Rick, I've got a question.

365
01:54:35,260 --> 01:54:35,640
Yes, sir.

366
01:54:36,220 --> 01:54:42,020
How many fire hydrants were put in about the same time

367
01:54:42,020 --> 01:54:42,860
that one was?

368
01:54:44,040 --> 01:54:47,820
That one, I'm not aware how many was done at that same time.

369
01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:52,020
That one was put in in 2018 by Stratus Corps.

370
01:54:54,900 --> 01:54:57,960
And then I had two hydrants replaced

371
01:54:57,960 --> 01:55:00,240
by BlackRock underground in December.

372
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:06,400
and that was the same crew that came out and assisted with the emergency on Sunday and Monday.

373
01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:14,960
So that, well, I'm just wondering how many other hydrants we get out that might have been installed

374
01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:24,100
incorrectly. That's what I'm worried about. Yeah, that is definitely a concern. When fires happen and

375
01:55:24,100 --> 01:55:30,060
firefighters open up those hydrants, they're not exactly gentle. So those, it's very important that

376
01:55:30,060 --> 01:55:31,240
those are installed correctly.

377
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:39,140
Yeah, there are questions for Rick.

378
01:55:43,740 --> 01:55:44,800
Dave's got a question.

379
01:55:47,230 --> 01:55:48,170
Rick, can you hear me now?

380
01:55:48,810 --> 01:55:49,510
I can now.

381
01:55:50,510 --> 01:55:52,510
So when you said it was installed incorrectly,

382
01:55:52,850 --> 01:55:53,790
what does incorrectly mean?

383
01:55:54,930 --> 01:55:56,830
So the thrust block and the,

384
01:55:56,970 --> 01:55:58,710
there's drain rock and thrust blocks

385
01:55:58,710 --> 01:56:01,370
that need to be placed on the back side of hydrants.

386
01:56:01,850 --> 01:56:03,070
The drain rock is so that,

387
01:56:03,970 --> 01:56:06,110
we have what's called a dry barrel hydrant.

388
01:56:06,470 --> 01:56:08,330
That means that down at the bottom of it,

389
01:56:08,330 --> 01:56:15,130
there's a bowed so to speak that's part of the hydrant and when you open up the top nut it pushes

390
01:56:15,130 --> 01:56:19,790
the water to the top of the hydrant and then when you close it all that water that's existing

391
01:56:19,790 --> 01:56:24,670
leaks out of the bottom and without the drain rocket it doesn't leak properly and then you can

392
01:56:24,670 --> 01:56:30,590
freeze and other things can happen and then the thrust block behind the hydrant is to keep the hydrant

393
01:56:30,590 --> 01:56:36,710
secure so that when a vehicle or something does hit it it actually breaks the top of the hydrant

394
01:56:36,710 --> 01:56:55,990
And then you you have the base that stays in the ground in contact. So the hydrant the thrust block wasn't set up in a way that the hydrant was secure when the gentleman hit the hydrant, it actually lifted it up and put it all the way to that side, which is not how a hydrant supposed to function.

395
01:56:59,700 --> 01:57:03,760
Have we got the bill on that yet or no?

396
01:57:04,380 --> 01:57:06,120
No, not yet.

397
01:57:07,080 --> 01:57:16,380
I have filed a insurance report with the gentleman that was in or with the insurance of the gentleman and he contacted City Hall.

398
01:57:17,460 --> 01:57:18,660
Like three days.

399
01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:21,980
It was Tuesday or Wednesday when he finally called City Hall about it.

400
01:57:25,180 --> 01:57:28,940
It's definitely going to be covered or it's definitely going to be under his insurance

401
01:57:28,940 --> 01:57:32,880
and I couldn't tell you what the bill is going to be.

402
01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:42,120
Just my time is like 22 and a half hours of time, so it's going to be a nice chunk

403
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:42,520
of change.

404
01:57:45,260 --> 01:57:51,900
So Rick with the thrust block and stuff, do we have an engineer diagram or spec for people

405
01:57:51,900 --> 01:57:57,480
when they're installing that we're giving them to say that we want this thrust block built

406
01:57:57,480 --> 01:58:03,380
like this from one of our engineering companies or somebody do we have anything or are we leaving

407
01:58:03,380 --> 01:58:11,900
that up to them? It's actually a standard on the AWWA regulations on how hydrants installed and

408
01:58:11,900 --> 01:58:20,580
that's really where having myself on site during the installation of that is going to be the best bet.

409
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:36,480
I would say a solid 95% of the time underground contractors know what they're doing but they just try to cut corners and that's where the inspection plays a big, big part in our infrastructure.

410
01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:37,140
I'm going to start with the

411
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:44,900
Any more questions for Rick?

412
01:58:53,310 --> 01:58:54,130
Okay. Moving on.

413
01:58:54,590 --> 01:58:55,910
Would you like to give me a

414
01:58:55,910 --> 01:58:56,230
report?

415
01:59:03,490 --> 01:59:04,430
For my report.

416
01:59:05,610 --> 01:59:07,270
For legal matters.

417
01:59:08,250 --> 01:59:11,050
Ruben is working with the

418
01:59:11,050 --> 01:59:12,790
third street property owners in

419
01:59:12,790 --> 01:59:14,130
the purchase negotiations.

420
01:59:14,750 --> 01:59:16,270
We've transferred that for me to

421
01:59:16,270 --> 01:59:26,890
him mainly because I do live in that area and may not be the best to negotiating purchase

422
01:59:28,210 --> 01:59:34,550
for the properties. But with that being said, he's working on it with waste management.

423
01:59:34,550 --> 01:59:42,310
We have attorneys with waste management and attorneys with the city negotiating on

424
01:59:42,310 --> 01:59:50,010
this draft franchise so I don't have any updates for that yet but I can tell you that it is being

425
01:59:50,010 --> 01:59:59,350
worked on. Financials, as you see we were at the current fund balances at this, was it February

426
01:59:59,350 --> 01:59:59,670
We're going to read first.

427
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:29,520
Everythings looks pretty good. The only exception is that our budget for this upcoming fiscal year, we've had some publication errors, which means that we're just going to as last year start our budget in April and have those consecutive dates either and that's up for the council decide either we want to do it like. There's Wednesday Thursday Friday.

428
02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:46,780
and then Monday Tuesday or if you want to do it Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday, so once the council, well, I'll just say if the council doesn't have a problem with just doing on Wednesdays, we can just proceed that way and then if we want to we can certainly change the date again.

429
02:00:47,440 --> 02:00:53,480
I am finally getting into the completion of our 2021 audit report.

430
02:00:53,480 --> 02:01:00,760
So we're just kind of moving emails back and forth with finishing this thing, providing him with this report.

431
02:01:01,280 --> 02:01:05,700
So I'm expecting within the next few weeks that we should get our audit report.

432
02:01:06,160 --> 02:01:11,140
And hopefully in April, we'll review and accept our 2021 audit report.

433
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:17,720
So for land use, we have a request from Gas and Heights.

434
02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:31,120
that was included in an email. They have remaining for the phase two, the recording of the plot with

435
02:01:31,120 --> 02:01:39,960
the county. And that is the only last left piece to complete this phase two. And they didn't

436
02:01:39,960 --> 02:01:58,980
complete it within the time frame, so gas and heights is hoping that the council will consider an extension for a year, but according to code, they may be required to submit a new application.

437
02:02:00,300 --> 02:02:07,640
So, again, up to Council to consider if you guys want me to look into both ways with additional information I can.

438
02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:11,500
But yeah, like I said, it's just the last little piece.

439
02:02:12,060 --> 02:02:19,040
With 114 Front Street, we recently approved a sign that has like,

440
02:02:20,140 --> 02:02:27,260
it says Lotto underneath the A's Tavern sign right on the highway because it's so small it doesn't require ODOT's approval.

441
02:02:27,260 --> 02:02:36,940
But with the sign permit in our codes, the city can approve it as well. So you'll be seeing a new sign there. We had court yesterday.

442
02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:55,500
We've had a few traffic citations, but because of COVID we haven't really been writing tickets. I'll say today is my first new ticket in a long while, but we had six scheduled to appear, six did not appear.

443
02:02:55,500 --> 02:03:06,980
And so we're going to be moving forward with that process and that's unfortunately suspending licenses and imposing fines and most likely collections.

444
02:03:08,740 --> 02:03:15,620
So we have on the agenda for council to review is the

445
02:03:15,620 --> 02:03:26,140
the water requests, the water request credit for the 432 Hadin.

446
02:03:26,580 --> 02:03:44,620
We had discussed this in January regarding their high usage and that after fixing a leak they now have a significantly less costly bill and we're looking to possibly have a credit for the amount of bills.

447
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:55,280
bills possibly prior to that to maybe be a more averaged amount. Other than that, that's for council.

448
02:03:56,660 --> 02:04:03,180
So tonight on the agenda, you'll notice that there's an executive session for the six-month review. That's pretty standard.

449
02:04:03,860 --> 02:04:10,100
So it's all up to you guys if you guys want to change holding the executive session later.

450
02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:17,500
SCI filings, everyone knows what that is, except for a few, but that is where, if you're

451
02:04:17,500 --> 02:04:24,680
a city councilor, you have to submit a statement of economic interest, formed by April 15th.

452
02:04:25,340 --> 02:04:30,880
If you have questions, just let me know. Billings were sent out for gas and heights.

453
02:04:38,840 --> 02:04:39,840
I haven't received

454
02:04:39,840 --> 02:04:40,520
No more.

455
02:04:41,100 --> 02:04:43,880
He Tim and Donald's been in contact with us.

456
02:04:44,900 --> 02:04:48,720
So next month, I may or may not have a payment back

457
02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:51,460
from the planning and engineering expenses.

458
02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:56,080
Again, I mentioned the preliminary plaque recording.

459
02:04:56,700 --> 02:04:59,500
Fire alarm for the city hall is damaged

460
02:04:59,500 --> 02:05:04,440
and in order to correct or fix this,

461
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:07,000
the city would actually have to upgrade

462
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:14,620
the entire city hall building up to code with sprinklers and all the fun extras that a commercial

463
02:05:14,620 --> 02:05:19,640
building is required. So instead of doing that, I've just decided to cancel the fire alarm.

464
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:25,700
We still have the security and the monitoring. It's just the fire alarm, you know, we'll have to

465
02:05:25,700 --> 02:05:34,140
call and I will want again to get a fire suppression, but same purpose. But it should be a little cheaper

466
02:05:34,140 --> 02:05:42,180
on the bill. Concerns renewals are coming up. We've got the spring clean coming up. Usually marches

467
02:05:42,180 --> 02:05:48,440
where I start receiving questions and calls about the bulky waste collection day and the

468
02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:54,700
curbside collection. Six bags looks like May 11th and May 15th are those dates.

469
02:05:55,860 --> 02:06:02,540
I'm hoping that it's just something that's set out in flyers. Like we have done in the past

470
02:06:02,540 --> 02:06:09,420
last year, last year, waste management had sent out notices, but I hadn't from the word

471
02:06:09,420 --> 02:06:16,040
around town has nobody received these. So we're going to be working with waste management

472
02:06:16,040 --> 02:06:23,160
on that. We already talked about the gas and use sports in the school using the ball field.

473
02:06:23,500 --> 02:06:32,420
I had a request to close first street for May 15th. There's some wedding reception, I believe

474
02:06:32,420 --> 02:06:40,460
that is occurring unless the council has any problems with that. I don't see why the city couldn't close

475
02:06:40,460 --> 02:06:48,920
for a straight down during that time. Records request 408 for Front Street has property but it's

476
02:06:48,920 --> 02:06:55,140
curious as to the council wanting to see if there's other businesses that they would like to see coming

477
02:06:55,140 --> 02:07:01,840
in town. That's an ongoing thing. The other things we have sidewalks that will most likely be working

478
02:07:01,840 --> 02:07:05,780
with in the next coming months because of the weather is going to get better.

479
02:07:07,120 --> 02:07:08,800
I'm just going to go ahead and move on to grants.

480
02:07:10,140 --> 02:07:15,000
So first street grant, there's no updates on that, but that is going to be a project

481
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:19,960
that we are moving on after third street, hopefully.

482
02:07:21,960 --> 02:07:25,980
But with stay france of school in the cottonwood, we're almost complete with that project.

483
02:07:26,260 --> 02:07:28,520
I'm working on the reimbursement request.

484
02:07:29,200 --> 02:07:40,180
There's just some administrative things I need to contact the billings from AKS, some minor details, but with that we should be able to get our first grant.

485
02:07:41,580 --> 02:07:44,260
Moneys eligible for that project with that.

486
02:07:45,340 --> 02:07:56,520
And then included for the Council to adopt is the new contract that extends this project from instead of the end of this or

487
02:07:56,520 --> 02:08:05,380
excuse me, December 31st of 2020, it extends this project to May 5th, which we're hoping

488
02:08:05,380 --> 02:08:07,560
that that's where our completion date is at.

489
02:08:08,700 --> 02:08:13,960
Again, third street, the attorney is working on purchase negotiations.

490
02:08:15,380 --> 02:08:18,320
I have made new contact with Zipley Fiber.

491
02:08:19,720 --> 02:08:24,960
There's just been a lot of like administrative changes simply because Frontier has changed

492
02:08:26,300 --> 02:08:35,000
and so there's a lot of different people working on everything still trying to get the franchise updated.

493
02:08:35,620 --> 02:08:42,260
So is a lot of other cities so that'll just be something we're working on as time goes on.

494
02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:47,820
Then we have obviously the waste management franchise that I mentioned that we were working on earlier.

495
02:08:47,820 --> 02:08:57,580
and I have training June 8th through the 17th from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. for those days to further the

496
02:08:57,580 --> 02:09:04,360
recorder certification, but this time I don't have to actually go to Washington to do these classes.

497
02:09:04,700 --> 02:09:09,040
So I'm pretty excited about that, but other than that, that's what I got from my report.

498
02:09:10,820 --> 02:09:17,220
Thank you, Winona. Thank you, Winona. Do you have a report, Jared? Are you online?

499
02:09:22,270 --> 02:09:28,360
I'll take that as a no moving to the consent agenda

500
02:09:29,140 --> 02:09:30,820
Bill's payable for March

501
02:09:32,080 --> 02:09:35,320
January 20th, 21 Council Minutes

502
02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:40,020
In a change order to number six Cottonwood Street sidewalk

503
02:09:42,450 --> 02:09:44,170
So everybody read this stuff

504
02:09:47,620 --> 02:09:50,340
and entertain a motion to accept

505
02:10:09,090 --> 02:10:11,070
Motion to consent I

506
02:10:19,130 --> 02:10:19,910
make a motion.

507
02:10:23,020 --> 02:10:24,340
We have a second

508
02:10:26,620 --> 02:10:31,000
We have a motion in a second to accept the consent agenda.

509
02:10:32,280 --> 02:10:33,440
Any more discussion?

510
02:10:33,460 --> 02:10:36,340
I have Bill Moshering and the seconded.

511
02:10:49,700 --> 02:10:50,800
On Rector's seconded.

512
02:10:52,700 --> 02:10:53,340
Thank you.

513
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:00,300
We vote on this yet.

514
02:11:00,840 --> 02:11:01,380
On favor?

515
02:11:03,220 --> 02:11:06,920
I'm wanting some discussion on this change order.

516
02:11:07,540 --> 02:11:12,180
This is another one in a long list of change orders that I'd like to get an explanation for.

517
02:11:14,620 --> 02:11:22,620
Okay. That one was the backside curb on 500 Crunch Street.

518
02:11:27,870 --> 02:11:29,710
Didn't we discuss this last month?

519
02:11:30,850 --> 02:11:36,350
This one was a different one when me and Brooke went out to review the project.

520
02:11:38,130 --> 02:11:40,870
I can't remember if it was last week or the week before that.

521
02:11:42,230 --> 02:11:45,970
We noticed that the asphalt was going to when the asphalt was replaced.

522
02:11:45,970 --> 02:11:57,250
it was going to be a drastic difference than what it was and with the talking to

523
02:11:57,250 --> 02:12:02,130
Brooke in the best form of fixing and resolving the issue, let's put a back

524
02:12:02,130 --> 02:12:10,310
curve on there to secure the sidewalk and then lower the asphalt down instead of

525
02:12:10,310 --> 02:12:19,810
adding uh basically we're going to have to raise the asphalt 16 inches and we're just going

526
02:12:19,810 --> 02:12:23,850
to have to do a little bit of fill and and it's full.

527
02:12:33,090 --> 02:12:35,130
Do we know if this is going to be the end

528
02:12:35,130 --> 02:12:39,590
of them or should we just expect to be revisiting this stuff every month?

529
02:12:40,590 --> 02:12:41,530
Well this is it.

530
02:12:46,480 --> 02:12:47,660
Anybody else have questions?

531
02:12:51,330 --> 02:12:54,030
And there is we are working on the

532
02:12:54,030 --> 02:13:03,630
the big, big picture. There are some things that are looking on the going over with the

533
02:13:03,630 --> 02:13:15,230
content. There was some things that they didn't do. That was in that bid. So the billing

534
02:13:15,230 --> 02:13:19,390
is probably going to go down. We just haven't gotten to that point yet.

535
02:13:19,390 --> 02:13:19,450
But

536
02:13:22,200 --> 02:13:26,240
when you say bill and go down, explain that I'm not too sure what you mean.

537
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:36,720
So on the new contract price of 142, 719, that's going to get lower once everything is

538
02:13:36,720 --> 02:13:38,380
put brought up.

539
02:13:38,880 --> 02:13:40,660
So Brooks working on that right now.

540
02:13:40,960 --> 02:13:43,880
I haven't gotten any new information recently about it.

541
02:13:45,260 --> 02:13:50,520
So I'm assuming that she's working with lead contracting to figure out the billing side

542
02:13:50,520 --> 02:13:50,960
of things.

543
02:13:50,960 --> 02:13:53,740
So the scope of work changed?

544
02:13:56,860 --> 02:14:05,080
Yes, previously there was not a design for a rear curb,

545
02:14:05,980 --> 02:14:12,900
and it was the city and Brook myself made the decision to add that in

546
02:14:12,900 --> 02:14:16,220
to accommodate for the needs of 500 front street.

547
02:14:19,190 --> 02:14:22,330
Because we were the ones that ripped up their parking lot

548
02:14:22,330 --> 02:14:34,330
and the way that it would be now, it would be a very large hill, the slope of it was way too much.

549
02:14:43,230 --> 02:14:48,710
So what did the contractors not do that they're going to be reducing their bill?

550
02:14:49,730 --> 02:14:55,530
There is a bid on there for redoing the underlayment of the roadway.

551
02:15:00,210 --> 02:15:12,380
So I don't have that in front of me right now, and I apologize. It's a 12 inch, I can't remember the actual wine item.

552
02:15:33,100 --> 02:15:37,560
So shouldn't we be seeing a deduction breakout from the contractor for the amount?

553
02:15:40,400 --> 02:15:43,820
We're still working on that. It's not up yet.

554
02:15:43,820 --> 02:15:51,460
But Brooke is still working with the week contacting for the questions on the billing.

555
02:15:52,060 --> 02:15:54,080
And we have me and her have not gone over yet.

556
02:16:00,260 --> 02:16:05,520
I'm trying to find that on my computer right now and just bear with me real quick.

557
02:16:08,540 --> 02:16:10,260
Is there any other questions on that

558
02:16:13,650 --> 02:16:14,890
anyone?

559
02:16:28,220 --> 02:16:35,420
No more questions moving on to new business oh we have to vote

560
02:16:40,700 --> 02:16:42,180
everybody in favor.

561
02:16:42,180 --> 02:16:50,650
We already approved the consent agenda approving the consent agenda. We need a vote

562
02:16:55,260 --> 02:17:00,760
voting on the consent agenda. We have three items all in favor discussion

563
02:17:10,290 --> 02:17:24,410
Margaret. Yes, and and the line item is number 13 on the main packet is 12 inch sub grade stabilization.

564
02:17:25,990 --> 02:17:32,570
That's the one that rook is working on with the contracting right now because that wasn't done.

565
02:17:33,590 --> 02:17:35,870
And the cost of that.

566
02:17:38,470 --> 02:17:39,070
1708.

567
02:17:48,140 --> 02:17:52,580
Did they have a reason for not doing that part of the contract?

568
02:17:53,500 --> 02:17:54,760
It didn't need to be done.

569
02:18:03,430 --> 02:18:04,910
Any more questions, concerns?

570
02:18:12,760 --> 02:18:15,380
We want a motion to accept the change order.

571
02:18:15,380 --> 02:18:16,360
I

572
02:18:21,220 --> 02:18:26,860
think we have a motion in a second on accepting the line items. We're just voting now.

573
02:18:28,920 --> 02:18:30,060
All in favor say aye.

574
02:18:34,520 --> 02:18:34,740
Aye.

575
02:18:45,140 --> 02:18:45,380
Aye.

576
02:18:52,980 --> 02:18:54,060
All vote aye.

577
02:19:05,130 --> 02:19:06,230
We had a bunch of

578
02:19:06,230 --> 02:19:07,310
I don't know if it's a

579
02:19:07,310 --> 02:19:08,390
presentation of people.

580
02:19:11,620 --> 02:19:12,400
Did you all approve?

581
02:19:14,020 --> 02:19:15,340
Anyone with a navel?

582
02:19:24,340 --> 02:19:25,680
Next on the agenda.

583
02:19:31,600 --> 02:19:33,220
Next on the agenda and our new

584
02:19:33,220 --> 02:19:33,680
business.

585
02:19:36,170 --> 02:19:37,710
I have a proclamation for the

586
02:19:37,710 --> 02:19:38,810
national community development

587
02:19:38,810 --> 02:19:39,170
week.

588
02:19:40,330 --> 02:19:41,370
I was mayor of the city.

589
02:19:41,930 --> 02:19:43,870
I attend the path meetings,

590
02:19:43,870 --> 02:19:46,030
which is the policy advisory board

591
02:19:46,030 --> 02:19:47,330
for Washington County.

592
02:19:48,550 --> 02:19:55,070
and that's they give funding as you can read through the packet of a variety of

593
02:19:55,070 --> 02:20:02,670
things. The Proclamation I have to recite National Community Development Week April

594
02:20:02,670 --> 02:20:10,310
5th to April 9th 2021, whereas the week of April 5th to April 9th 2021 has been

595
02:20:10,310 --> 02:20:15,130
designated as National Community Development Week by the National Community Development

596
02:20:15,130 --> 02:20:21,250
of association to celebrate the community development block grant program and the home

597
02:20:21,250 --> 02:20:23,750
investment partnerships program.

598
02:20:24,730 --> 02:20:30,530
Whereas the CBDG program provides annual funding and flexibility to local communities to

599
02:20:30,530 --> 02:20:37,510
provide decent, safe and sanitary housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities

600
02:20:37,510 --> 02:20:39,370
to low and moderate income people.

601
02:20:39,370 --> 02:20:57,050
and whereas the home investment partnerships program provides funding to local communities to create decent safe affordable housing opportunities for low income persons nationally over 1 million units of affordable housing have been completed using home funds.

602
02:20:57,710 --> 02:21:07,690
And whereas over the program's history our community has received a total of $2,153,064 in CBDG funds.

603
02:21:07,690 --> 02:21:30,630
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the City of Gas and Designates the week of April 5th to April 9th, 2021, as National Community Development Week, in support of these two valuable programs that have made tremendous contributions to the viability of the Housing Stock Infrastructure Public Services and Economic Violetality of our community.

604
02:21:30,630 --> 02:21:37,030
We have further resolved that this community urges Congress and the administration to recognize

605
02:21:37,030 --> 02:21:41,730
the outstanding work being done locally and nationally by the community development

606
02:21:41,730 --> 02:21:47,170
block grant program and the home investment partnerships program by supporting increased

607
02:21:47,170 --> 02:21:51,110
funding for both programs in fiscal year 2022.

608
02:21:53,770 --> 02:21:54,930
And thank you for that.

609
02:21:56,250 --> 02:21:57,430
Make a motion.

610
02:21:57,430 --> 02:22:01,510
We accept the proclamation for national community development week.

611
02:22:01,990 --> 02:22:03,110
All second.

612
02:22:04,170 --> 02:22:10,050
We have a motion accept second to accept the national community development week proclamation.

613
02:22:10,570 --> 02:22:12,670
All in favor or discussion.

614
02:22:15,710 --> 02:22:17,290
All in favor say aye.

615
02:22:17,810 --> 02:22:18,030
Aye.

616
02:22:19,270 --> 02:22:21,030
Any opposed say nay.

617
02:22:23,100 --> 02:22:25,360
It passes next

618
02:22:30,420 --> 02:22:31,560
under new business.

619
02:22:32,580 --> 02:22:36,660
is for V2, Dane, Terrace, Water Credit Request.

620
02:22:41,820 --> 02:22:44,400
Can you talk about that when on it or should I ask Rick?

621
02:22:45,700 --> 02:22:47,820
Rick and I can both get some information.

622
02:22:48,060 --> 02:22:50,980
I provided counsel with the summary of the bill.

623
02:22:51,820 --> 02:22:56,980
Rick has at least a report for the hydrant that we had tested,

624
02:22:57,880 --> 02:22:59,980
but at this point, I'll just turn it over to Rick.

625
02:23:02,280 --> 02:23:02,640
Thank you.

626
02:23:02,640 --> 02:23:10,600
So I did have some meters tested, good reading.

627
02:23:11,400 --> 02:23:18,920
All of them came out accurate to use usage.

628
02:23:19,160 --> 02:23:23,220
And then if they used 100 grit gallons, it dropped it a little bit.

629
02:23:23,840 --> 02:23:27,080
But it wasn't a significant amount at all.

630
02:23:27,080 --> 02:23:46,600
So it's, I mean, over a few years, you might notice a difference if you're using 100 gallons at one time or more, but a lot of times people aren't using 100 gallons at one time they're using lower amounts throughout the day.

631
02:23:46,600 --> 02:23:46,660
Okay.

632
02:23:56,750 --> 02:23:57,950
Any questions?

633
02:24:02,950 --> 02:24:05,150
Council has no questions about Hediene Terrace.

634
02:24:14,640 --> 02:24:20,480
The water credit request, their leak has been fixed.

635
02:24:22,100 --> 02:24:28,660
They had a, they were, they felt or they thought that they had a leak a couple of years ago

636
02:24:28,660 --> 02:24:38,000
or a year and a half ago. And it was resolved back to end. It'll been heavy usage on that meter.

637
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:43,020
And then when we put in, when we replaced the meter and put it in a new one, the usage went down.

638
02:24:44,440 --> 02:24:58,160
So on that meter, it was 103% accurate for 10 gallons at 35 gallons, or 35 gallons per minute, or excuse me, feet per minute.

639
02:24:58,160 --> 02:25:09,720
it was at 45 feet per minute. It was a hundred and few percent of the women and then at a hundred gallons running through the meter, it was 90, 40 percent accurate.

640
02:25:17,820 --> 02:25:24,800
Can I also have any questions about this? How much of a creditor are they looking to in the request?

641
02:25:25,520 --> 02:25:29,640
they didn't actually request any sort of amount.

642
02:25:29,900 --> 02:25:35,120
They just wanted to ask if the council would be best.

643
02:25:45,390 --> 02:25:47,170
So the water credits under control.

644
02:25:51,110 --> 02:25:52,430
At this point, it would be based.

645
02:25:52,710 --> 02:25:56,970
It would be under the discretion of council on whether or not they like this.

646
02:25:57,690 --> 02:25:59,230
Issue of credit to this.

647
02:26:01,940 --> 02:26:06,300
So Rick, you're saying that the meters that we took out were accurate.

648
02:26:07,480 --> 02:26:17,180
Yeah, like I said, it was it was like six just under six gallons off when they ran a hundred gallons through it.

649
02:26:19,400 --> 02:26:31,380
So if he was using a hundred gallons regularly and it was transposing the numbers on that, I could see the it being different from my experience.

650
02:26:31,380 --> 02:26:39,660
I don't see a lot of residents, like just regular housing resident using 100 gallons at one time.

651
02:26:40,560 --> 02:26:47,280
It's very unusual unless you're irrigating or washing your car stuff like that.

652
02:26:47,980 --> 02:26:52,940
But nowadays people have stuff on their houses to not let it run all the time.

653
02:26:53,380 --> 02:26:55,980
So 100 gallons all at once is very unusual.

654
02:26:57,260 --> 02:27:07,060
So Rick, Rick and your professional opinion, do they deserve a credit? I mean, is it something the city's responsible for?

655
02:27:12,270 --> 02:27:26,230
In my opinion, I think that there's a few things that can contribute to it. I am not aware of like there is definitely something going on with the water system up on Hadeem and down trail.

656
02:27:26,230 --> 02:27:35,930
So I don't know, I haven't heard of anything that would cause a meter to be inaccurate other

657
02:27:35,930 --> 02:27:41,350
than water hammer when the meter comes back as being accurate.

658
02:27:44,180 --> 02:27:54,370
I don't see water hammer affecting this situation just because the only person in that area

659
02:27:54,370 --> 02:28:01,450
that's has this issue or that as talked about this issue if there was multiple issues in that area

660
02:28:01,450 --> 02:28:07,870
then water hammer could play a partner but other than that I would say it would be based off of

661
02:28:10,170 --> 02:28:10,730
I

662
02:28:17,260 --> 02:28:24,820
don't know how to move forward with that so so Rick net Rick I'm sorry I interrupted you but in that

663
02:28:24,820 --> 02:28:30,560
area we have low pressure but a meter is calculated on flow and not pressure correct

664
02:28:30,560 --> 02:28:35,160
So the pressure would not, issues would not have any.

665
02:28:38,220 --> 02:28:46,300
Only issue that pressure and water hammer can affect is the operation of the disc inside the meter.

666
02:28:47,140 --> 02:28:55,180
If the water hammer hammer happens, it can create that disc and global, which would make the reading inaccurate.

667
02:29:02,100 --> 02:29:11,560
There was a water issue that we repaired on Costello in that same area.

668
02:29:12,720 --> 02:29:17,840
The likelihood of that causing any problems for this gentleman is pretty slim.

669
02:29:20,380 --> 02:29:26,680
Like I said, 10 gallons through the meter, it was 103 percent accurate.

670
02:29:26,680 --> 02:29:31,840
it and then when you jumped up to 100, it was 94.6%.

671
02:29:34,940 --> 02:29:40,360
It seems to me like the city did their due diligence by checking the meter and it seems

672
02:29:40,360 --> 02:29:47,860
like the the charges and stuff I see seem like they're based on usage I concur.

673
02:29:47,860 --> 02:29:48,780
So

674
02:29:58,030 --> 02:29:59,650
it I don't feel like

675
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:01,860
Adjustment is necessary.

676
02:30:05,410 --> 02:30:15,410
I think if we start giving adjustments without really being valid or really good evidence that everybody's going to start doing it. So I agree. I don't think it's necessary.

677
02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:33,240
My only excuse me. My only problem with it is I look at their monthly and they. Is it the $200 water bills that they're complaining about?

678
02:30:33,240 --> 02:30:43,660
or the hundred and they say there's months that they only they paid two months bills but there's

679
02:30:43,660 --> 02:30:51,860
some hundred and nine ninety there was a hundred and thirty one at two hundred and twenty one are those the

680
02:30:51,860 --> 02:31:02,280
ones you know at two eighty five billion are those the ones that they're concerned about yeah I see I see

681
02:31:02,280 --> 02:31:06,340
a $1,200 bill.

682
02:31:09,520 --> 02:31:16,040
I wasn't sure if that was the bill or if that was an accumulation. Yeah,

683
02:31:16,200 --> 02:31:16,940
I think you're right.

684
02:31:22,780 --> 02:31:29,920
Because if that, to me, if that payment, okay, that says water.

685
02:31:40,640 --> 02:31:41,120
If

686
02:31:41,960 --> 02:31:51,240
And it looks like there was an adjustment done on 11, 10, 2020.

687
02:31:52,960 --> 02:31:56,080
Winona, can you tell me what that adjustment was for?

688
02:31:59,550 --> 02:32:01,110
Let me look at the program.

689
02:32:01,110 --> 02:32:01,430
No, quick.

690
02:32:02,050 --> 02:32:03,150
That one was.

691
02:32:03,790 --> 02:32:05,210
I know what that was.

692
02:32:05,630 --> 02:32:06,190
Okay.

693
02:32:06,470 --> 02:32:07,250
That was a.

694
02:32:07,530 --> 02:32:07,930
Sorry.

695
02:32:08,370 --> 02:32:08,930
We.

696
02:32:09,250 --> 02:32:10,750
We keyed in the wrong numbers.

697
02:32:10,750 --> 02:32:24,830
That was that was me, King and wrong numbers. I remember that one. Okay, so that one was taking care of. Correct. That was that was an issue on my side.

698
02:32:29,500 --> 02:32:39,770
The one that he brought up was he said that there was like a $300 one somewhere. A $300?

699
02:32:44,950 --> 02:32:53,130
$7.30.19 so that's but that was that was a couple months I don't it looked like he's paying

700
02:32:53,130 --> 02:33:01,970
a couple months at a time not every month and then what you can see and then when I changed out

701
02:33:01,970 --> 02:33:05,410
the meter it significantly lowered his bill

702
02:33:16,960 --> 02:33:20,620
but then again it's also the winter time so the

703
02:33:20,620 --> 02:33:26,680
it's just going to go up in the from now on. So I would say I'm I'm in

704
02:33:26,680 --> 02:33:27,720
a grants with Mario.

705
02:33:31,440 --> 02:33:35,180
I see three months here that they went up into the

706
02:33:38,600 --> 02:33:44,540
541 523 but that was uh that was multiple bills at one time.

707
02:33:44,800 --> 02:33:51,000
What was it? Yeah. 4179. Yeah so that 541 79 was both

708
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:52,420
August and September.

709
02:34:02,910 --> 02:34:04,530
Any more questions for Rick?

710
02:34:10,910 --> 02:34:11,970
Take that as a no.

711
02:34:13,170 --> 02:34:15,890
Safe routes to school cottonwood street contract.

712
02:34:21,460 --> 02:34:21,820
I was in.

713
02:34:26,870 --> 02:34:28,290
We have to decide if

714
02:34:28,290 --> 02:34:35,350
there's no credit or a credit for the water excess bill. I vote no credit. I

715
02:34:35,350 --> 02:34:38,670
don't think we want to start down that. Anyone else?

716
02:34:41,310 --> 02:34:42,850
Yeah. I'm fine with

717
02:34:42,850 --> 02:34:45,450
It's taken with the billing as it's shown.

718
02:34:45,890 --> 02:34:47,470
I don't see any discrepancies.

719
02:34:47,750 --> 02:34:49,590
If there was a meter discrepancy,

720
02:34:49,850 --> 02:34:51,270
that would be a different conversation.

721
02:34:56,280 --> 02:34:57,600
I'm with both of them.

722
02:34:57,600 --> 02:35:00,360
I don't think it'd be right.

723
02:35:01,280 --> 02:35:03,680
So we just move forward with the general consensus

724
02:35:03,680 --> 02:35:06,960
that we will, the bill won't change, or there's no credit.

725
02:35:11,880 --> 02:35:15,420
Yes, yes, yes.

726
02:35:15,420 --> 02:35:17,400
Yes, okay.

727
02:35:27,640 --> 02:35:29,560
Now we can remove on the safe routes

728
02:35:29,560 --> 02:35:31,720
the school, Cottonwood Street contract.

729
02:35:33,240 --> 02:35:35,120
We're now under, can you speak to that?

730
02:35:35,560 --> 02:35:39,980
So yeah, just kind of a little extra reminder.

731
02:35:40,420 --> 02:35:41,660
It was in my staff report.

732
02:35:42,240 --> 02:35:47,300
The contract ended with the original one ended at the end of December.

733
02:35:47,720 --> 02:35:53,360
So we filed an extension and we have the new extension and new contract for

734
02:35:53,360 --> 02:35:55,160
Council to adopt to consider.

735
02:35:55,160 --> 02:35:59,600
I believe it's May 5th that we should be finished with the Kotwood project.

736
02:36:05,340 --> 02:36:06,960
Any questions about that, folks?

737
02:36:14,780 --> 02:36:15,120
I'm good.

738
02:36:19,570 --> 02:36:20,390
Everybody else?

739
02:36:23,200 --> 02:36:24,660
I'm fine with it.

740
02:36:25,800 --> 02:36:26,540
I'm fine.

741
02:36:30,160 --> 02:36:32,160
Do I need a formal motion, Winona?

742
02:36:34,240 --> 02:36:36,100
We do need a formal motion.

743
02:36:36,760 --> 02:36:37,980
We're going to stay here throughout the school.

744
02:36:40,800 --> 02:36:41,860
I don't make the motion.

745
02:36:43,540 --> 02:36:44,240
Second it.

746
02:36:45,460 --> 02:36:47,200
We have a motion and a second.

747
02:36:47,200 --> 02:36:49,240
any more discussion?

748
02:36:52,270 --> 02:36:56,290
All in favor say aye. Thank

749
02:37:00,680 --> 02:37:04,840
you. Old business is the waste

750
02:37:04,840 --> 02:37:13,420
management franchise discussions. So yeah like I mentioned we have attorneys on

751
02:37:13,420 --> 02:37:19,260
waste management sides and attorneys for the city they are going back and forth

752
02:37:19,260 --> 02:37:25,820
With the negotiations of the franchise agreement that our attorney first come up with so but I don't have an update

753
02:37:25,820 --> 02:37:27,240
No decisions

754
02:37:27,780 --> 02:37:32,660
We're going to obviously continue with this next month and hopefully with the attorneys reviews

755
02:37:32,660 --> 02:37:36,580
We'll have a final product and we can adopt a full

756
02:37:37,500 --> 02:37:40,420
Bunkshitting franchise for waste collection

757
02:37:43,410 --> 02:37:45,350
Thank you. What are you

758
02:37:51,080 --> 02:37:53,920
can get a discussion about franchise or

759
02:37:55,880 --> 02:37:56,540
Okay

760
02:37:56,540 --> 02:38:03,150
New complaints, 104 second street stagnant water.

761
02:38:06,140 --> 02:38:07,840
Maybe we could explain this.

762
02:38:12,780 --> 02:38:18,800
So there is a pool in the backyard of that residence.

763
02:38:19,920 --> 02:38:23,600
Their property backs up to the coldest sack on third street.

764
02:38:25,140 --> 02:38:30,780
They have a pool, an above ground pool that is about three quarters full of water.

765
02:38:30,780 --> 02:38:38,780
that has been sitting there for quite some time and it is, as the algae growing in it,

766
02:38:39,640 --> 02:38:47,660
it's definitely just a standing water in a pool and there is an ordinance about that.

767
02:38:50,420 --> 02:38:52,540
Have they been notified about it?

768
02:38:55,480 --> 02:38:57,260
You're hearing it first for the council.

769
02:39:04,300 --> 02:39:09,800
So per our ordinance, we have a council declared a violation of our nuisance ordinance

770
02:39:09,800 --> 02:39:13,680
and that we send a letter out to them saying they need to clean it up within 10 days.

771
02:39:15,100 --> 02:39:18,920
So what we're doing is looking for a motion if this is a valid complete

772
02:39:20,460 --> 02:39:24,260
for council to approve of the violation

773
02:39:25,420 --> 02:39:30,600
and send them a letter to take care of the water.

774
02:39:36,240 --> 02:39:40,860
Is that acceptable to everyone or discussion?

775
02:39:45,930 --> 02:39:46,330
I agree.

776
02:39:46,330 --> 02:39:46,390
We

777
02:39:51,060 --> 02:39:58,180
need a motion to approve the ordinance of this stagnant water in one or four second.

778
02:39:58,880 --> 02:40:01,380
I make a motion, one or four seconds.

779
02:40:02,040 --> 02:40:02,560
A second.

780
02:40:03,500 --> 02:40:04,660
That no water.

781
02:40:05,520 --> 02:40:06,180
Complaint.

782
02:40:07,400 --> 02:40:12,760
So can I just clarify and say we need a motion to declare one or four seconds straight

783
02:40:12,760 --> 02:40:14,280
in violation of the nuisance ordinance?

784
02:40:15,420 --> 02:40:15,960
Yes.

785
02:40:16,480 --> 02:40:17,320
Make that motion.

786
02:40:24,310 --> 02:40:25,270
We have any discussion.

787
02:40:25,270 --> 02:40:30,080
We have a second for the second.

788
02:40:32,320 --> 02:40:36,220
We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye.

789
02:40:36,840 --> 02:40:38,540
Aye. Aye.

790
02:40:40,240 --> 02:40:41,600
Sounds like it passed.

791
02:40:45,600 --> 02:40:46,440
Old business.

792
02:40:52,340 --> 02:40:54,080
Both those still have nothing new.

793
02:40:56,490 --> 02:40:59,250
Oh, the dogs and their briars. Yeah.

794
02:41:05,730 --> 02:41:07,150
Does that mean we can remove them?

795
02:41:09,720 --> 02:41:13,360
I'm still waiting for the railroad to get back to me.

796
02:41:14,300 --> 02:41:29,720
The last conversation I had with the United Pacific was on the second of March and he just emailed me asking if the city was at all and interested in a purchase of

797
02:41:35,230 --> 02:41:37,930
the briars of the railroad property.

798
02:41:41,050 --> 02:41:48,030
So I tried to get a hold of them today and I left a message on his voice mail so hopefully I hear back from him soon.

799
02:41:50,990 --> 02:41:54,770
I'd be in favor of a donation to the city.

800
02:41:54,790 --> 02:41:58,250
I second that.

801
02:41:58,870 --> 02:42:02,190
Yeah, if we get it donated, we'll clean up the briars on our time.

802
02:42:09,700 --> 02:42:12,300
So I think it.

803
02:42:14,020 --> 02:42:17,880
The thing to think about maybe in the next month,

804
02:42:17,880 --> 02:42:19,840
if I don't hear anything back from them,

805
02:42:20,140 --> 02:42:24,760
is that I think we deemed it a new sense last meeting.

806
02:42:25,840 --> 02:42:34,940
Would you guys like me to move forward with announcing that to them that it is a nuisance and sending them a letter?

807
02:42:37,510 --> 02:42:39,110
That'd be a good first step.

808
02:42:45,800 --> 02:42:46,940
Any other discussions?

809
02:42:49,320 --> 02:42:54,060
We have a motion to accept the railroad easement briars problem.

810
02:42:55,360 --> 02:42:58,860
We don't need a motion for that necessarily.

811
02:43:14,040 --> 02:43:17,960
We do have the six-month review for Rick.

812
02:43:19,020 --> 02:43:24,520
We generally hold a closed session unless the person wants to have an open session.

813
02:43:26,420 --> 02:43:28,400
I'm not sure.

814
02:43:28,400 --> 02:43:38,760
So, what we'll need to do is ask those that are not council members to leave the meeting

815
02:43:38,760 --> 02:43:43,700
until we're able to reconvene and adjourn the meeting.

816
02:44:01,340 --> 02:44:03,780
I would like to go into executive session.

817
02:44:09,150 --> 02:44:10,470
You want me to read this?

818
02:44:19,090 --> 02:44:19,950
I have to read that out.

819
02:44:19,950 --> 02:44:24,610
Executive Session 192.660,

820
02:44:25,030 --> 02:44:26,990
parentheses 2, parentheses I.

821
02:44:28,470 --> 02:44:31,570
Review and evaluate employment-rated performance

822
02:44:35,710 --> 02:44:38,580
of officers, public bodies, public officers,

823
02:44:38,840 --> 02:44:39,780
employer, staff.

824
02:44:40,320 --> 02:44:42,400
Because it's not requested in open hearing.

825
02:44:46,730 --> 02:44:47,530
Okay, so at this time,

826
02:44:47,730 --> 02:44:51,990
I am going to close the meeting to just the council members

827
02:44:57,000 --> 02:44:58,700
on what phone number you call in front.

828
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:02,660
May? Yeah, are you the 95?

829
02:45:04,940 --> 02:45:07,080
3234? 3234, yeah.

830
02:45:17,470 --> 02:45:22,990
Okay, so are there any, so we have David? Yep.

831
02:45:23,510 --> 02:45:34,920
On Margaret. Here is Mario. And it's nice here. So we have closed meeting.

832
02:45:39,380 --> 02:45:41,460
So you can go ahead

833
02:45:41,460 --> 02:45:47,560
move forward with the six-month review or really what we're looking for is to put

834
02:45:47,560 --> 02:45:54,600
him as a permanent full-time employee instead of a temporary employee or

835
02:45:54,600 --> 02:45:55,960
probationary employee. Sorry.

836
02:46:00,190 --> 02:46:02,290
Is there something that I am not on here for?

837
02:46:05,820 --> 02:46:08,140
What we're talking about, you can be here.

838
02:46:09,080 --> 02:46:14,740
It needs to be here, if you want to be here. For sure. I just had some things that I

839
02:46:14,740 --> 02:46:15,660
I wanted to discuss.

840
02:46:20,510 --> 02:46:21,030
Go ahead.

841
02:46:22,840 --> 02:46:28,270
So I was looking at the job description

842
02:46:28,940 --> 02:46:33,470
that was made for this position.

843
02:46:35,210 --> 02:46:39,570
And under, did you all receive a copy of this in the packet?

844
02:46:45,260 --> 02:46:50,520
So under the essential duties, functions, and responsibilities,

845
02:46:51,500 --> 02:46:59,880
There's a big difference in what is on here and the actual responsibilities of this position.

846
02:47:01,340 --> 02:47:03,340
So I'm going to just read this real quick.

847
02:47:04,280 --> 02:47:14,280
Responsibilities include directing the activities of the city's water department building permit plan and site review street maintenance programs and park maintenance.

848
02:47:14,280 --> 02:47:28,740
The employee is responsible for the preparation and monitoring of the department budget, the preparation, implementation and of and adherence to procedures and department personnel function.

849
02:47:30,040 --> 02:47:37,460
Responsibilities also include establishing and maintaining appropriate work relations with municipal office officials,

850
02:47:37,460 --> 02:47:48,540
here's subordinates, state and local organizations and with the general public. So the description

851
02:47:48,540 --> 02:47:58,780
that is in that first couple of sentences I kind of opened it up to a little different stuff. So

852
02:47:58,780 --> 02:48:11,000
So there is like six departments, seven depending, so there's facilities, city hall, all the

853
02:48:11,000 --> 02:48:18,420
maintenance and upkeep of city hall, onion laying, the baseball fields, the reservoir

854
02:48:18,420 --> 02:48:25,060
property, I have parks for the mowing, baseball field maintenance, playground maintenance,

855
02:48:25,060 --> 02:48:35,040
in general landscaping. Stormwater, I have the kept base in cleanup, detention facilities,

856
02:48:35,900 --> 02:48:41,140
the CCTV camoring when the crew comes out, and all the outfalls along the 12-ton river

857
02:48:41,140 --> 02:48:48,220
that the city uses. On the water side, hydrants, valves, meters, samples, flushing,

858
02:48:48,220 --> 02:48:50,220
pressure test and pump stations.

859
02:48:52,360 --> 02:48:55,060
Construction, I have new construction for all

860
02:48:55,060 --> 02:49:03,340
infrastructure. Roads, potholes, paints and signs, sidewalks, debris, tree, limb

861
02:49:03,340 --> 02:49:10,360
removal. On the permits, the plan review and site inspections. The site

862
02:49:10,360 --> 02:49:15,480
inspections is definitely like an inspector side of things, which is almost like

863
02:49:15,480 --> 02:49:17,160
it's an old and little hat in itself.

864
02:49:19,260 --> 02:49:24,220
So this is where I was referring to hoping to bring

865
02:49:24,220 --> 02:49:33,380
on a intern. There is a lot of stuff that is this job is responsible for and we can't,

866
02:49:33,460 --> 02:49:39,540
I don't feel like we should put it as in while volunteers can do this, volunteers can do the net.

867
02:49:39,540 --> 02:49:47,340
But it really needs to be in the job functioning of paid employee because of the equipment that the city has.

868
02:49:47,760 --> 02:49:53,980
There's insurance reasons behind that, I believe. I haven't been able to get a hold of our insurance company to talk about that.

869
02:49:54,600 --> 02:50:00,340
But there is a significant amount of workload that is hitting me.

870
02:50:01,080 --> 02:50:07,120
And I just wanted the council to be aware of the amount of work that it is in this.

871
02:50:07,120 --> 02:50:23,200
This role and having a laborer or a second person that I could delegate to and we can work together to do tasks that require two people.

872
02:50:23,760 --> 02:50:29,640
I feel like that is a direction that we should really think about going.

873
02:50:29,640 --> 02:50:30,700
So

874
02:50:35,300 --> 02:50:41,500
Rick, in this, you know, we're looking over all this, where do you think so you're not

875
02:50:41,500 --> 02:50:49,440
keeping up where, what is the areas you think of the greatest need to bring a second

876
02:50:49,440 --> 02:50:50,200
person in?

877
02:50:50,380 --> 02:51:03,460
And just in general, I mean to quantify the biggest thing that I could say in general

878
02:51:03,460 --> 02:51:12,160
is if we have an intern to be able to push the meter installs or we can work

879
02:51:12,160 --> 02:51:16,540
together as a team, we're going to get more done in a timely matter. And if I

880
02:51:16,540 --> 02:51:23,480
get pulled off for gas and heights or third street or some of the other

881
02:51:23,480 --> 02:51:29,620
meetings that I that we have, things would still be able to move forward with that

882
02:51:29,620 --> 02:51:36,200
second person versus just stopping. And then when I can I could get back to it. And that's the

883
02:51:36,200 --> 02:51:44,020
biggest thing that I've looked at. I've done so many meetings with the construction going on in

884
02:51:44,020 --> 02:51:53,940
the city and talking to new developers. It's just there's a lot of meetings involved and things aren't

885
02:51:53,940 --> 02:52:01,480
getting done where I would say that the council would be happy about just due to the fact that I'm

886
02:52:01,480 --> 02:52:04,020
getting pulled off and pulled in so many different directions.

887
02:52:06,610 --> 02:52:09,130
What if the City Council was to

888
02:52:09,130 --> 02:52:21,410
agree to bring on a part-time employee to help you with, you know, say the meter readings,

889
02:52:21,410 --> 02:52:28,650
the paintings, the painting, the moana, the ball filled, not so much the pummeling,

890
02:52:30,700 --> 02:52:31,420
but

891
02:52:32,590 --> 02:52:39,540
I mean, we could, it's up to not me, but the council, we could bring on a young gentleman

892
02:52:39,540 --> 02:52:50,830
or a young lady and instead of having an intern where we have to pay a lot of money out there,

893
02:52:50,830 --> 02:52:58,410
we can find, you know, someone to help you.

894
02:53:00,030 --> 02:53:03,970
Hey, I hate to interrupt, but this is a budgetary issue

895
02:53:03,970 --> 02:53:08,050
that we're discussing. That has to be done in public form.

896
02:53:08,510 --> 02:53:12,550
This discussion is solely based on Rick's performance,

897
02:53:12,550 --> 02:53:15,890
so we could get through this. Okay, please.

898
02:53:15,890 --> 02:53:17,430
it's excuse me.

899
02:53:20,220 --> 02:53:21,120
Thank you.

900
02:53:36,810 --> 02:53:47,330
It makes a difference. I approve of this intern. There is a lot of work that Rick is responsible for, and he just it all adds up.

901
02:53:49,290 --> 02:54:00,300
I've volunteered for the city in the past, but this year we have Rick and his connections, so I'm going to take a year off.

902
02:54:04,900 --> 02:54:11,520
Well, if anybody should know, Mayor Meeker, you've done a lot of this response.

903
02:54:11,520 --> 02:54:12,820
I think it's better, I think.

904
02:54:19,110 --> 02:54:20,030
Do we want to approve?

905
02:54:23,030 --> 02:54:26,790
Okay, you guys are in executive session, so we need to either have a discussion about

906
02:54:26,790 --> 02:54:31,750
any job-related performance, and then once we are finished with it, we need to close the

907
02:54:31,750 --> 02:54:36,290
executive session, open the regular meeting up, and then motion, anything that you may want

908
02:54:36,290 --> 02:54:45,810
to you the consideration is hiring him as a permanent employee and changing his work status

909
02:54:45,810 --> 02:54:54,450
from a... I'm looking at the handbook just to make sure I get the words correct.

910
02:54:55,170 --> 02:55:03,310
Yeah I think it's probationary. Is it probationary? Yeah so probationary period and then

911
02:55:04,750 --> 02:55:06,570
getting him as a permanent employee.

912
02:55:11,000 --> 02:55:16,620
So from my point of view, I think that he's more than qualified.

913
02:55:16,880 --> 02:55:18,740
I love when I've talked to him.

914
02:55:18,820 --> 02:55:22,820
I love his energy, you know, looking into the future.

915
02:55:23,060 --> 02:55:28,100
I think he's looking out for the best interest of gas and I think he would be a great addition

916
02:55:28,100 --> 02:55:29,240
as a permanent employee.

917
02:55:29,540 --> 02:55:32,760
So I vote to bring him on permanent.

918
02:55:33,780 --> 02:55:34,660
I do too.

919
02:55:34,660 --> 02:55:44,900
So I totally agree with Dave. Rick's been sensing first got in. He's been kind of hit the ground running.

920
02:55:45,700 --> 02:55:53,800
There's a lot of stuff to do. And with our current budget coming up, I think that that would be the appropriate time to visit.

921
02:55:54,940 --> 02:56:02,620
Potentially talking about a temporary employee. But for now, I definitely vote to bring him on full time as a permanent gas and employee.

922
02:56:08,020 --> 02:56:08,540
We

923
02:56:14,560 --> 02:56:21,940
have no more comments. We'll move back into the regular session to make a motion.

924
02:56:23,120 --> 02:56:25,880
I may make a motion to move on to a regular session.

925
02:56:29,130 --> 02:56:30,590
That was kind of after we got back.

926
02:56:34,600 --> 02:56:45,600
So I will say that we're officially out of the executive session and that we're back in the regular reading to approve or not approve, but

927
02:56:46,260 --> 02:56:48,060
I'm going in the direction of approve.

928
02:56:54,140 --> 02:57:02,950
I make a motion that we approve Rick as a full-time gas and employee.

929
02:57:03,250 --> 02:57:04,230
A second.

930
02:57:06,100 --> 02:57:08,020
We have a motion and a second.

931
02:57:10,510 --> 02:57:11,700
Any more discussion?

932
02:57:14,400 --> 02:57:15,060
All in favor?

933
02:57:15,280 --> 02:57:15,720
Say aye.

934
02:57:16,540 --> 02:57:16,880
Aye.

935
02:57:16,880 --> 02:57:17,160
I.

936
02:57:19,660 --> 02:57:20,900
For the past.

937
02:57:21,480 --> 02:57:21,640
Any.

938
02:57:22,000 --> 02:57:22,460
Congratulations.

939
02:57:23,940 --> 02:57:25,000
Thank you.

940
02:57:25,560 --> 02:57:26,160
Welcome.

941
02:57:27,980 --> 02:57:28,220
Welcome.

942
02:57:28,220 --> 02:57:29,020
Welcome aboard Rick.

943
02:57:29,720 --> 02:57:32,360
I kind of had a feeling that this was going to work out.

944
02:57:36,910 --> 02:57:38,130
Motion to adjourn.

945
02:57:39,780 --> 02:57:41,720
I do have one request.

946
02:57:42,360 --> 02:57:42,780
Go ahead.

947
02:57:43,660 --> 02:57:48,660
Since budget meetings are going to come up, I would really like to see.

948
02:57:56,500 --> 02:58:13,380
I think that would help us look at our budget and I know it's an extra thing to put on him, but I really would be interested in in this program that he went through and the possibility of using an intern.

949
02:58:13,380 --> 02:58:16,960
I think that's a great idea, Marguerite.

950
02:58:17,200 --> 02:58:17,840
I agree with you.

951
02:58:17,860 --> 02:58:26,220
Getting a number to crunch in our budget meetings coming up would be absolutely invaluable for us to decide whether or not we could move forward with it.

952
02:58:26,780 --> 02:58:28,580
And we did have a young man.

953
02:58:29,320 --> 02:58:35,200
Well, before I retired, that actually wound up going to work full time for the city of banks.

954
02:58:36,140 --> 02:58:40,780
So I think the intern program is a really valuable one.

955
02:58:45,500 --> 02:59:00,620
Just for the FYI, I will include our work with Rick, but we'll include these numbers to incorporate with the budget so that we don't need to go in and kind of recreate these new numbers even after we talked about it.

956
02:59:00,720 --> 02:59:04,940
So we're going to try to incorporate those to see if it does work and then go.

957
02:59:04,940 --> 02:59:06,140
And

958
02:59:09,660 --> 02:59:24,420
I can definitely get some numbers put together just from experiences and what I can get from the structures on what the internships are paying out this year or next year.

959
02:59:27,590 --> 02:59:29,070
That would be appreciated.

960
02:59:29,870 --> 02:59:31,010
No worries.

961
02:59:31,910 --> 02:59:33,930
I make a motion to adjourn.

962
02:59:35,770 --> 02:59:40,360
We have a motion in a second to adjourn.

963
02:59:42,620 --> 02:59:43,720
Any more discussion?

964
02:59:47,520 --> 02:59:48,700
