So Jess and the 19 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,540 Kenzie and I will be starting to communicate more aggressively or proactively 20 00:01:19,540 --> 00:01:26,000 with residents who are on deck to have their yards remediated and just clean 21 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,300 folks know the timeline but if you hear anyone's like what's the last set of our 22 00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:38,740 way. We're getting a lot of inquiry right now. Let's see. Last week I had a good conversation 23 00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:46,780 with Kevin and RPA about the sewer system that maybe you're going to have that in your update, 24 00:01:46,980 --> 00:01:53,060 but I think we're starting to figure out maybe where arsenic could be coming from in the wastewater. 25 00:01:53,060 --> 00:02:02,900 water. So that's wonderful. Let's see. On today, I brought some friends, our contractors 26 00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:09,560 on our remedial investigation, and do you want to produce yourselves so they know who 27 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:16,160 you are? Yeah. You know, she and Green, I'm a project manager for Hydrogeologic here to 28 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,260 And I'm Tim Decker, a field team leader by our other geologic. 29 00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:28,160 So these two, the problem you'll start to see them were here at City Involve, 30 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:35,100 potentially, especially as we do some investigation to the old sarco data. 31 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:43,040 But also we have some maths here with our what we're going to start to do to look 32 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,740 at the extent of concerning showers, yarn, e.g. for a three-per-ton, you can write down. 33 00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:59,960 And this is this is truth, FYI. So we're looking right now at a study area, it's the black 34 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:08,780 and white, Ashmer. So it's a little bit further than the current boundaries. We've run that 35 00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:14,700 that that was very based on wind patterns primarily and where we think 36 00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:20,340 emissions from this ultimately have gone. The red stars on that map are where we 37 00:03:20,340 --> 00:03:24,880 will be collecting samples in April. We're working with the county, 38 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,640 Lewis and Clark County, Jefferson County, letting you all know, if don't think we're 39 00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:34,820 going to be sampling in East Helena proper. We've got a pretty good handle on the 40 00:03:34,820 --> 00:03:37,280 the data is then planted, the Savito and Ruiz, 41 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,940 but this is really for your awareness 42 00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:41,600 that you know what we're up to. 43 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,560 The same thing will happen in April. 44 00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,500 And anything else? 45 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,580 That's it. 46 00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:50,960 I do have a question. 47 00:03:51,140 --> 00:03:54,480 The list of residents who have either read questions 48 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,080 or you determine clearly those mediation 49 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,300 has that been given to the city? 50 00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:00,560 Will February or evening have that? 51 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,580 I would have not given that to say. 52 00:04:02,820 --> 00:04:02,940 Yeah. 53 00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:04,700 I think we could hear that. 54 00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:06,140 I don't know what you're with me today. 55 00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:08,920 I just feel like both questions are wanted to know. 56 00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:09,480 Absolutely. 57 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,840 For them to know if they're going out. 58 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,120 In addition to have, once we have a contractor on board, 59 00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:17,900 we will be planning phases. 60 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:22,320 So it is possible that the contractor will want to work 61 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,500 in a particular neighborhood and finish that neighborhood 62 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:27,120 and then move on to another area. 63 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,140 So once we have that prioritization mapped out, 64 00:04:32,140 --> 00:04:37,940 and we will definitely even tune out to Kevin, so we know that we're going to be working in 65 00:04:37,940 --> 00:04:44,240 that area for extended time, so city services go to any other impacts. We'll try to minimize that as much. 66 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:57,640 Next up is public comments. No, this time is set aside for all public comment on non-agent items. 67 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:05,440 I would draw to your attention that all council members have received written public comment from Mr. Jensen and they have read so 68 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,980 So if there any public comments on non-agent items 69 00:05:10,930 --> 00:05:14,810 Dave Jensen 401 by scale 70 00:05:14,810 --> 00:05:22,890 They stated my previous January 6th 26th public comments for changing to move those on summer 6th place for our base to bond resolution 71 00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:26,130 The estimated aggregate principal amount of 21 million 72 00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:28,390 and 600 pounds.

So for example, 187 00:10:54,410 --> 00:10:59,130 Chris and I sat on a crash on a highway 12 yesterday for about four and a half hours, 188 00:10:59,130 --> 00:11:04,110 with locking by way 518, semi drove across the tracks 189 00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:08,310 and hooked one of the rails and ripped everything up. 190 00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:11,610 So that was time consuming. 191 00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:14,190 You've had a domestic last week 192 00:11:14,190 --> 00:11:15,950 that took about eight and a half hours 193 00:11:15,950 --> 00:11:17,450 and two officers to investigate. 194 00:11:18,330 --> 00:11:19,930 So there's a lot of time involved 195 00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:22,610 in some of these cases as well. 196 00:11:22,730 --> 00:11:26,510 There was a big assault that Wednesday night. 197 00:11:26,510 --> 00:11:32,430 Wednesday night there was an assault by JFK Park. Nine different people were 198 00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:39,250 kind of involved, juveniles, and adults, and we unfortunately didn't have anybody 199 00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:46,110 on, so I would pitch, or no, Joe, Helen and PD and counting that to respond to that. 200 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:53,390 So there's a lot of theft going on in East Helena right now. There's a lot of 201 00:11:53,390 --> 00:11:57,810 There's a lot of car crashes, just thank you and thank you. 202 00:12:00,090 --> 00:12:03,290 Last month I attended the meeting with the crisis response team. 203 00:12:03,970 --> 00:12:06,650 They have really some changes in their organization. 204 00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:15,390 These changes should assist law enforcement and time management and not force us to remain on scene or the hospital as long. 205 00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:18,690 So when we put somebody to protect a custody, 206 00:12:18,690 --> 00:12:26,670 you're at the hospital until you are released by there you are. Sometimes that's an hour, 207 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:32,190 sometimes that's four hours, five hours, we've all been there for more than now. So they're 208 00:12:32,190 --> 00:12:37,990 changing their way of doing business so that they can get us back on the streets quicker. So that's 209 00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:43,510 a good thing. They also ask me to be representative for their coalition, which I'd like to accept. 210 00:12:43,510 --> 00:12:50,050 of the Health Department issued us with a new batch of Narcan, as ours was 211 00:12:50,050 --> 00:12:57,310 outdated. They also brought many hard-sided gun cases to the department to 212 00:12:57,310 --> 00:13:02,510 give away. So if anybody needs one or knows them, anybody that needs one or wants 213 00:13:02,510 --> 00:13:06,730 one, there's single cases, single rifle cases, double rifle cases. 214 00:13:12,890 --> 00:13:13,490 We're getting 215 00:13:13,490 --> 00:13:16,730 So we've been handing them out as best we can. 216 00:13:17,310 --> 00:13:24,850 It's their push to prevent accidental shooting and worst size. 217 00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:29,570 So it comes with gun locks and just a great, great program. 218 00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:32,230 So if you know anybody, send them our way. 219 00:13:32,430 --> 00:13:33,810 We can look them up with this. 220 00:13:36,130 --> 00:13:37,090 See you guys part. 221 00:13:37,370 --> 00:13:39,250 I also participated again. 222 00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:41,630 that might be C-J-C meeting, 223 00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:43,470 for chamber meeting, high risk, 224 00:13:43,470 --> 00:13:46,050 tender meeting, IT session, 225 00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:48,830 and attend the TOA Association breakfast. 226 00:13:49,550 --> 00:13:51,410 And I also have a Timmie audit 227 00:13:51,410 --> 00:13:52,970 from the Montana Post Council 228 00:13:53,830 --> 00:13:56,630 to get a better understanding of how they can assist us. 229 00:13:57,050 --> 00:13:59,370 I had lunch with how we patrol on the 25th. 230 00:13:59,910 --> 00:14:02,130 We discussed how we can assist each other better 231 00:14:02,130 --> 00:14:02,930 and more efficiently. 232 00:14:03,950 --> 00:14:05,950 MHP is extremely busy with crashes 233 00:14:05,950 --> 00:14:09,890 and he gets spread in very often. 234 00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:15,070 Therefor, since we already respond to highway crashes 235 00:14:15,070 --> 00:14:19,270 to assist troopers, we are now going to investigate 236 00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:21,170 all crashes they have been following. 237 00:14:21,310 --> 00:14:24,530 Highway 12, 518 and 282 have been our jurisdiction. 238 00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:28,770 So they're having a harder time not every day, 239 00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:32,210 but responding out here quickly. 240 00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:40,470 So because we investigate our own crashes, they aren't going to be interested in doing that and we accept that. 241 00:14:40,850 --> 00:14:52,330 They're also asking that if there's a nearby crash within a few miles of East Helena, if we would respond to that and get things started until they can get there. 242 00:14:52,610 --> 00:14:57,070 So they're kind of strapped, so we're going to try to end the hand with them. 243 00:14:57,570 --> 00:14:59,970 So, what does that mean for us? It's coming to be... 244 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,120 More crashes, more cases, more call items. So we have somebody on call. When highway patrol is off duty at night, which can vary from midnight to three. So depending on who's on for them, our on call coverage starts when they're gone because county doesn't investigate crashes. So the crash goes to highway patrol. So there off, we will be responding to that. 245 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,660 Let's see what else, 246 00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:40,400 additionally with highway patrol, because we are going to help them, 247 00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:45,660 they are going to allow our officers to attend their crash school for free. 248 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:52,020 So they offer crash schools three times a year in Boulder, so when these tiles are already 249 00:15:52,020 --> 00:15:59,460 attended that, so we'll be sending everybody else to one of those schools to get caught 250 00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:04,640 up a little bit more on some of the bigger traffic crashes, highway patrols that they will 251 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,620 assist on any crash that we would like them to and they'll handle all the major crashes 252 00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:15,080 and deaths if they need to.

I was also like, yeah, also the chasing days of me are they 531 00:33:00,850 --> 00:33:09,730 don't chase me anymore and I don't run anymore. So yeah, but yeah, it was really cool to see kind of 532 00:33:09,730 --> 00:33:14,470 just what they do have just a little bit of understanding not a whole lot of what they see in the day-to-day 533 00:33:14,990 --> 00:33:19,030 you know their jobs. I encourage you all to take them up on their offer. I think it's about 534 00:33:19,030 --> 00:33:23,290 their value and it just to understand what they do. Again, you know, you don't have to work a whole 535 00:33:23,290 --> 00:33:26,990 ship with them or anything. They're very flexible. Christmas is great. I appreciate you taking 536 00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:32,270 me on showing me. I had a great time. I mean, I ran out of things to talk about because yeah, 537 00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:38,750 yeah, I don't want your job. Let's start there, but I do appreciate you doing it. So I'm, it was 538 00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:42,810 worthwhile. I think there's value in you guys if you guys want to take them up on as well. So that's 539 00:33:42,810 --> 00:33:50,270 there. Uh, we've had to both the wastewater meetings. Most of you were at least one, um, some 540 00:33:50,270 --> 00:33:55,870 right to a lot of fun there. A lot of good times. Nothing quite as fun as how 541 00:33:55,870 --> 00:34:01,650 people, your plants struggling, a lot of good times. And also went and wrote a 542 00:34:01,650 --> 00:34:06,570 bus around with West's friends, the leadership Helena. Kind of an interesting 543 00:34:06,570 --> 00:34:12,690 group. They go like once a month and they have a different kind of a old day plan 544 00:34:12,690 --> 00:34:16,490 where they learn things and they were 12 month program for them to go through that 545 00:34:16,490 --> 00:34:20,250 to graduate leadership Helena. It's a 12 month program. It's a one-year program 546 00:34:20,250 --> 00:34:27,710 I mean, so they one every month they have a different like thing and some really they want to listen to me talk, which makes no sense, but 547 00:34:28,850 --> 00:34:37,030 West had it all arranged was really good. It was cool to see people show an interest in East Helena again, but that was pretty much the basics of what I've done. Nothing too exciting. 548 00:34:37,850 --> 00:34:39,850 Any questions? Nothing at all. 549 00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:43,890 All right. We want to council member reports. Council member Dalton. 550 00:34:44,870 --> 00:34:49,470 I attended the water quality district meeting and the two wastewater meetings. 551 00:34:51,910 --> 00:34:57,150 That's really good. I did the waste water meetings as well and that's it. Yeah, I was advised. 552 00:34:58,330 --> 00:35:04,350 The leadership element was good. It's the civics and government data that they can be stolen. Typically they will do that. 553 00:35:05,030 --> 00:35:11,550 They learned more about east on an hour government. And I can tell you that they thoroughly enjoyed our day. 554 00:35:12,330 --> 00:35:16,230 We won't compete too much, but I think that they enjoyed our portion more than 555 00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:16,850 helmetless. 556 00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:19,230 So always good to see here that I'm giving. 557 00:35:19,530 --> 00:35:24,230 Yeah, we're definitely more casual for them, but we also, the tour was good that we 558 00:35:24,230 --> 00:35:28,990 appreciated Kevin took us to the wastewater treatment plants and so it was good for them 559 00:35:28,990 --> 00:35:34,090 to see it and see what's going on in our construction with that plant that means it to just all 560 00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:35,810 the growth development within our area. 561 00:35:35,810 --> 00:35:36,750 So it was good. 562 00:35:36,750 --> 00:35:39,250 It caught me with the chamber otherwise. 563 00:35:41,390 --> 00:35:44,830 Did just the food truck festival it'll be coming back. 564 00:35:44,830 --> 00:35:46,910 They are actually coordinating with nonprofits 565 00:35:46,910 --> 00:35:48,090 and going to sponsor one. 566 00:35:48,670 --> 00:35:52,310 So the chamber did take up the coming up fiscal sponsor 567 00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:54,070 for the food truck festival this summer. 568 00:35:54,230 --> 00:35:55,650 So they'll be able to give money to nonprofits 569 00:35:55,650 --> 00:35:58,090 and coordinate through that so they can raise money 570 00:35:58,090 --> 00:35:59,730 and apply it for some different things. 571 00:36:00,270 --> 00:36:02,470 So that's a good opportunity and excited for that. 572 00:36:03,130 --> 00:36:27,930 Just as a reminder, for city account of staff and elected folks, is that the city county municipal planning for this community review is on Tuesday at one here in this room should be about an hour, our 15 minutes and just want to hear from us about what's going on public welcome to any of these meetings and hope that you attend. 573 00:36:27,930 --> 00:36:31,930 But this one is specific to elected officials and city council staff. 574 00:36:32,850 --> 00:36:34,350 So encourage you to come to that. 575 00:36:36,410 --> 00:36:40,410 Otherwise, since we did not have a meeting, there was one more thing that is numbering up. 576 00:36:42,650 --> 00:36:47,030 Intelli, I don't know if you want to talk about it more, but visiting with representative downing. 577 00:36:47,370 --> 00:36:49,010 They came and visited with us and. 578 00:36:49,210 --> 00:36:52,490 I think we talked about table of slate. I know we did. 579 00:36:52,930 --> 00:36:53,390 What's that? 580 00:36:53,530 --> 00:36:54,490 We talked about taking them on the slate. 581 00:36:59,330 --> 00:37:03,290 I'm looking forward to visiting with them again about different grant opportunities. 582 00:37:03,970 --> 00:37:05,330 So that's what I got. 583 00:37:05,870 --> 00:37:06,650 Thank you. 584 00:37:06,950 --> 00:37:07,610 Councilor Ferguson. 585 00:37:08,410 --> 00:37:08,990 Thank you. 586 00:37:09,230 --> 00:37:12,070 One of the way for our treatment plant needs. 587 00:37:12,770 --> 00:37:13,090 All right. 588 00:37:13,610 --> 00:37:13,890 Thank you. 589 00:37:14,090 --> 00:37:17,290 That brings us to legal report. 590 00:37:18,190 --> 00:37:18,490 Peter. 591 00:37:18,490 --> 00:37:24,770 Board has been going well, the police department continues to be pretty active and makes 592 00:37:24,770 --> 00:37:28,590 progress in pretty well through the court system. I did have them include in your packet 593 00:37:28,590 --> 00:37:32,950 today a letter we got on behalf of the East Clark Street water sewer district or sewer 594 00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:37,730 district. I just want to make sure you all for a prize as timely as possible and I get these 595 00:37:37,730 --> 00:37:43,850 things. Last time I spoke to this individual was back in May as he referenced. He had sent 596 00:37:43,850 --> 00:37:47,670 a letter like this in April of last year, so nearly an entire year ago before I heard 597 00:37:47,670 --> 00:37:52,970 back from him. Again, just trying to keep you all appraised of what's occurring. I sent 598 00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:58,450 him a reply email to this letter that we received this on the 18th. That's when it was 599 00:37:58,450 --> 00:38:05,010 mailed. I replied on the 23rd. I told him I did not believe that. And I believe the letter 600 00:38:05,010 --> 00:38:09,070 you provided accurately captures our conversation from last year that he's telling the City Council 601 00:38:09,070 --> 00:38:14,130 pass through in state and agreement after consulting with the East Clerk Street District. And at 602 00:38:14,130 --> 00:38:17,670 at this point, I believe it is appropriate for you to address the council directly with 603 00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:21,850 a written alternative proposal. So if you read this, he's demanding or asking or telling 604 00:38:21,850 --> 00:38:26,350 me to rewrite something that you've already passed. I told him on the phone last year, 605 00:38:26,410 --> 00:38:29,530 trying to pass the council. We've been working with East Clark Street. This is an attorney 606 00:38:29,530 --> 00:38:35,830 that got both late. So I just replied, one, your letter's not accurate. And two, just come 607 00:38:35,830 --> 00:38:39,310 to the city council and do a little bit of the work on your own. He addresses the fact 608 00:38:39,310 --> 00:38:44,170 that he didn't try to talk to the attorney that was helping them prior made no effort. 609 00:38:44,590 --> 00:38:49,630 I reached him in the first phone call that I made the Bob Merto. He answered, I talked to him. 610 00:38:50,370 --> 00:38:54,870 I said this guy ever talked to you. Has he put any effort into this? He's not. So, again, 611 00:38:56,190 --> 00:39:01,550 as openly as possible, I received this letter nearly a year after receiving the first one. 612 00:39:01,750 --> 00:39:04,930 I replied, come to the city council. Do a little bit at home. 613 00:39:07,030 --> 00:39:08,030 But I've not heard back. 614 00:39:09,310 --> 00:39:13,230 So that's that. It's frustrated. I'm frustrated. But anyway, no, it has not. 615 00:39:14,250 --> 00:39:19,930 Even here, you'll probably get a letter. But again, I'm sorry. I came up with a question about it. 616 00:39:20,230 --> 00:39:28,910 The way it stated that the board has the sole authority to reallocate those 107 connections. 617 00:39:30,050 --> 00:39:35,130 Right. There's some discussion. Again, I disagree with much of what's contained in this letter. 618 00:39:35,130 --> 00:39:39,910 So that's not your legal opinion that they have full discretion to reallocate those hundred. 619 00:39:39,970 --> 00:39:41,850 They don't have any like as they wish. 620 00:39:42,050 --> 00:39:44,850 So I'll plug it today and plug it in to someone else's tomorrow. 621 00:39:44,970 --> 00:39:45,730 I'll plug it back in. 622 00:39:45,930 --> 00:39:50,630 So if you recall, part of the issue we had and he was here in the room was that there, when 623 00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:55,350 they put this in, there are 107 connections in the ground, meaning they have service lines 624 00:39:55,350 --> 00:39:57,830 tapped out underneath trailers over there. 625 00:39:58,890 --> 00:40:03,450 And the people have been under those trailers, hooking up and not telling us, which is why 626 00:40:03,450 --> 00:40:07,730 we put in there, it's a gallon. We charge them by gallon, not by connection, but there 627 00:40:07,730 --> 00:40:11,930 are physically in the ground a hundred and seven connections. So when they say they're 628 00:40:11,930 --> 00:40:18,110 reallocating, are you telling me you're going to go in and dig up and cap off the lines 629 00:40:18,110 --> 00:40:22,630 you've already picked, they're not. You don't, again, this guy's put no effort to understand 630 00:40:22,630 --> 00:40:28,870 anything that actually occurred in this agreement when it was arranged. So for the other fact 631 00:40:28,870 --> 00:40:32,630 is that they don't have an agreement currently because they thought paying their bills for 632 00:40:32,630 --> 00:40:36,170 while, and he refused to show up to public meetings because he thought the county was just 633 00:40:36,170 --> 00:40:42,230 going to take it over. So the agreement that he's referencing is no longer in effect, one, 634 00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:46,510 which we're trying to reinstate, and two, there's physical lines in the ground that he, 635 00:40:47,010 --> 00:40:51,090 which is why I told him your letter is not accurate. That's what I told you that can't 636 00:40:51,090 --> 00:40:55,230 reallocate something that you've already tapped out and that we know your client is underneath 637 00:40:55,230 --> 00:41:00,370 trailers hooking them in and not telling anyone, and also out there digging simultaneously. 638 00:41:00,370 --> 00:41:10,650 So there's a lot in this letter that's just not correct. It's an accurate. I don't know how much of it's just to a misunderstanding or him just writing a letter on behalf of someone that walked into his office. 639 00:41:11,930 --> 00:41:17,990 At the conclusion of last year's conversation on May 5th that he referenced here, I told him you need to call the attorney that was here before you. 640 00:41:18,890 --> 00:41:21,310 And in the last paragraph here, he says he never did. 641 00:41:21,310 --> 00:41:37,310 So and when is their official so if we cancel date bringing up what date was that so that goes to their credit they have been paying their monthly bill they do have a two year period so and in the 642 00:41:37,310 --> 00:41:48,810 mayor like we've been discussing like do we what are two year date I don't have it I don't have about the top I have west but I mean we've got to become a close issue becomes what is our actual recourse. 643 00:41:49,850 --> 00:41:55,750 Right now they can't connect anymore. They have a stop work order from the county health department like they can't do anything 644 00:41:56,710 --> 00:42:00,290 because they don't have an active agreement with us. He refuses to sign this one. 645 00:42:03,070 --> 00:42:09,110 And they're paying their bills to us for the gallonage that goes through that lift station. 646 00:42:09,410 --> 00:42:15,730 So since I mean we could attempt to send them a letter telling you we're going to turn off your ability to float to the city. 647 00:42:15,730 --> 00:42:19,870 I just don't know that that's in anyone's best interest, but that's kind of where we're at. 648 00:42:20,050 --> 00:42:22,270 Like, I don't even know how to take this demand letter. 649 00:42:22,710 --> 00:42:23,650 I tried calling. 650 00:42:24,550 --> 00:42:29,330 When I sent my reply email, I got an auto response from this attorney's email address, 651 00:42:29,530 --> 00:42:30,130 so I... 652 00:42:30,130 --> 00:42:30,890 It was out of stock. 653 00:42:31,050 --> 00:42:31,110 It was out of stock. 654 00:42:31,490 --> 00:42:33,310 It seemed to be stock. 655 00:42:33,490 --> 00:42:34,330 It was out of stock. 656 00:42:34,790 --> 00:42:35,890 It was out of stock. 657 00:42:35,890 --> 00:42:36,790 It was out of stock. 658 00:42:36,790 --> 00:42:37,650 It was out of stock. 659 00:42:37,890 --> 00:42:43,630 The issue is how much time and effort we've put into this thing, and it just continually 660 00:42:43,630 --> 00:42:51,410 feels like they are not great partners. But again, we have any questions. Continue to ask. It's 661 00:42:51,410 --> 00:42:57,550 ongoing. Hold them to come straight to you. Like I, it's already passed the council. If you don't 662 00:42:57,550 --> 00:43:02,230 feel like you're getting honest answers from me, there's a mic. Come put it on the record. We're all 663 00:43:02,230 --> 00:43:07,490 here for it. They just have it. They have no agreement. You get the proper agreement. They didn't 664 00:43:07,490 --> 00:43:11,870 to decide if there's a process that's not also the problem. 665 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:13,870 Turned out in there. 666 00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:14,670 Thanks. 667 00:43:15,130 --> 00:43:15,250 Great. 668 00:43:16,050 --> 00:43:21,990 Those are examples of municipalities that have done something about it after the two-year 669 00:43:21,990 --> 00:43:22,370 period. 670 00:43:23,170 --> 00:43:24,730 Again, it goes to our recourse. 671 00:43:24,990 --> 00:43:26,390 I mean, they are paying their bills. 672 00:43:26,770 --> 00:43:27,890 They are paying for their impact. 673 00:43:28,170 --> 00:43:30,030 And I don't want the impact of their actual residents. 674 00:43:30,330 --> 00:43:31,070 That's the other issues. 675 00:43:31,370 --> 00:43:34,290 I shouldn't think it's that one person is controlling this awful situation. 676 00:43:36,510 --> 00:43:41,190 there is no negative impact on the city currently. They're paying their bill. We've only allocated 677 00:43:41,190 --> 00:43:45,710 107 connections, which is part of the re- and statement agreement. We're not trying to 678 00:43:45,710 --> 00:43:49,570 take anything away from the fact that you've bonded a project. We've allocated you 679 00:43:49,570 --> 00:43:56,050 gallonage for those 107 connections, meaning you paid for the lines. We're going to 680 00:43:56,050 --> 00:44:01,210 a lot continue to allow you to keep using them, but you can't have any more. I think that's 681 00:44:01,210 --> 00:44:04,690 Biggest hang up because he wants to develop another parcel within that parcel 682 00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:09,610 But he has to come back to you and ask for permission and show you the plan and 683 00:44:10,110 --> 00:44:13,330 You know, it was only a year or so ago or however long it's been 684 00:44:13,870 --> 00:44:19,590 Where he was not paying his bill for months on end and it got over $20,000 just behind schedule 685 00:44:19,590 --> 00:44:22,050 so I think that's the hang up 686 00:44:22,050 --> 00:44:24,130 And that's why he's referencing 687 00:44:24,130 --> 00:44:28,530 Reallocating some of those unused connections, but they're not unused. They're in the ground 688 00:44:28,530 --> 00:44:32,310 and we know you're nefariously underneath their houses not telling anyone who can these things up, 689 00:44:32,310 --> 00:44:35,670 we know you're doing that, which is why it doesn't want to cut short hair in person. 690 00:44:35,870 --> 00:44:39,890 I assume, because again, he's not here and he didn't call me back or email me back. 691 00:44:40,690 --> 00:44:47,490 But again, that there is no negative to the city in the fact that they continue to pay their bills, 692 00:44:48,570 --> 00:44:54,570 that we're not trying to negative stop you from connecting those 107 lines that you've paid 693 00:44:54,570 --> 00:44:59,970 to put it in the ground, we're not taking back any of that gallonage or that. 694 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:08,540 That connection, that ability to connect, we're whole, their whole, it's just you want to continue to develop. You just doesn't want to have to come back to you and ask. That's it. 695 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,220 That's it. Right. All right. 696 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,400 All right. 697 00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:37,440 But that being said, I'm going to hear in this meeting at 17-15. 698 00:45:37,660 --> 00:45:38,220 They've come now, guys. 699 00:45:44,750 --> 00:45:45,730 This is how we hold them. 700 00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:46,350 You know what I mean? 701 00:45:46,950 --> 00:45:47,290 All right. 702 00:45:47,470 --> 00:45:47,770 Yes, please. 703 00:45:47,930 --> 00:45:48,270 So you're right. 704 00:45:48,490 --> 00:45:48,670 It's high. 705 00:45:49,150 --> 00:45:49,470 I wouldn't say. 706 00:45:49,510 --> 00:45:50,110 I wouldn't say. 707 00:45:50,170 --> 00:45:51,310 I would say kindergarten. 708 00:45:51,610 --> 00:45:51,990 It's a genius. 709 00:45:52,190 --> 00:45:52,950 Otherwise, something will be. 710 00:45:53,130 --> 00:45:53,290 You're right.
