The great place that we live and love calling the city of Mimi. Father, just give us wisdom to make good decisions. Be with our business meeting tonight, Lord. Help us to make decisions that will best serve the citizens of Mimi. It's in your name, Jesus, we pray, amen.
[0:27]
And
[0:36]
by the end of tonight's guest, if you have a quick presentation, I don't know how many of y'all have heard of the game warriors.
[0:46]
I've visited there. He's been back here two years ago. And I've been visiting, probably two years.
[0:53]
Can't swim, going with the other day and visiting. I will turn this time over the year for an inter-doxing and then we'll turn the floor over to them.
[1:02]
Okay, so as you guys know over the past year, we've had folks come in and tell us about different organizations that we have for those in need with different things like that.
[1:14]
And so I was invited last week to go and visit the gang warriors and had never been to one of their functions.
[1:24]
It's there in the old state building where the Christian Church is and they're located
[1:35]
on the backside of there and so they thought this was such a good opportunity for them to come out
[1:42]
and explain what they do and how they try to raise funds and do different things for different
[1:50]
Awareness is, for example, coming up, if I'm not mistaken, the awareness that they're
[1:56]
gaming board is suicide prevention.
[1:59]
So today we have Charles and Sonny Vell and Regina, who is also part of the group there.
[2:08]
So I want to turn it over to those guys and let them tell you a little bit about the gaming
[2:13]
lawyers and what they do and how they place funds to help those in the jobs.
[2:20]
I am Charles Bell. I am the founder of Game Warriors. My wife Saunget is co-founder and
[2:29]
operating at the Secretary. Jan is our unofficial PR person and we've got several
[2:39]
members that are one of which is actually at Gamer even right now getting ready for our Star Trek
[2:44]
Day thing. So Gamer's started in our living room when he was used to go as a way to battle for him
[2:57]
and then about 15 years ago my daughter came to me and said hey we're talking about watching
[3:06]
cars and selling candy to raise money for youth trips, can we do one of these? And that's
[3:13]
kind of where we picked off. So, Game Wars is a 501c3 organization that harnesses gaming
[3:20]
to raise funds and awareness for various organizations locally and nationally. We are becoming a free
[3:33]
the game wars and conferences, three different areas, so it will go to the next slide.
[3:39]
So Game Wars Gaming for a call, which is our charity and awareness division, focuses
[3:46]
on video game tournaments, mainly, and related events to race funds and awareness for stealth
[3:55]
like make-a-wish, safety, rain, and then,
[4:00]
logically, for, like, food pantry, a generation house,
[4:07]
and last month's tournament was for MNPD's domestic violence.
[4:13]
Then the day is put out.
[4:15]
I think the money has finally made to the banks
[4:19]
so we'll be able to give to the donation of 900 plus
[4:23]
some physical stuff that we've collected.
[4:28]
And so we've been doing that for about 15 years.
[4:33]
Nick had talked about coming to visit us a couple of years ago.
[4:37]
Next slide.
[4:39]
And that brings us to our other part, which
[4:42]
is Gamer Haven, which is our community gaming center
[4:45]
that we're currently working on.
[4:48]
For us to house our events, plus more stuff.
[4:51]
The way gamers and families young and old have a safe place to gather, make friends, share
[5:02]
interests such as tentative top games, whether you like nothley, D&D, or you like video games
[5:09]
such as Mario Kart and Mortal Kombat, we've got you covered, that's the game plan.
[5:14]
and do it in a safe environment, bridge the community of charitable giving and gaming.
[5:23]
And lastly, Respawn Hope is our new initiative that we are starting and that we're working
[5:33]
on to as an advocacy group to further bridge so if someone comes to us and says,
[5:39]
is hey, we're having trouble putting food on our table.
[5:44]
Do you know if someone, and we can be that good between
[5:48]
and the direction of food pantry?
[5:52]
Or if, hey, I know someone's been abused to take food,
[5:56]
we've got contacts, let's get you into the contact
[5:59]
with the people that you need to get in contact with.
[6:02]
So that way, because I know personally,
[6:06]
I had issues that I didn't have anyone to reach out to, and that's what we want to be.
[6:13]
I know that gaming was essentially one of the key factors that saved my life, which
[6:20]
is why this month's time it is, who is out of prevention, we have to talk enough about
[6:25]
some of these things.
[6:27]
So we want to fill that gap and be there for everybody.
[6:34]
We'll have anybody come and ask me questions, look at what we're doing
[6:40]
and I'll have to talk at this time.
[6:46]
I'd like to say that we've been busy in two years ago
[6:49]
and it's really impressive all the things that they have
[6:53]
and the set up and the gaming stations.
[6:55]
So, particularly Council, I encourage all of you to go by there and say it at the time.
[7:01]
I'm going to go see it. It's really neat. And, again, the purpose of this is to expose
[7:08]
which are due to the community. Hopefully, a good story comes out about it to really be
[7:16]
You bet that, didn't you?
[7:20]
No, I was just going to kind of say, mayor, you know,
[7:26]
going into that facility that they have.
[7:29]
It's extremely nice, you know, and what came to mind
[7:34]
when I walked in the room is, you know,
[7:37]
I don't know if you have ever seen these gaming tournaments
[7:40]
where they have all the, you know, Xboxes
[7:43]
and all these things up on the screen and over the wall.
[7:45]
I mean, there's five or six different stations there with these chairs there.
[7:50]
I mean, it's really set up for a true gamer's heaven, you know what I mean?
[7:56]
I think some of my children would love to do that.
[7:58]
I just thought it's a great opportunity to make the public aware of what their goals are,
[8:06]
what they're trying to do.
[8:07]
You know, we need, I think, the world awareness all the way around.
[8:11]
We've talked about the city of having the information for people who are in need for different aspects, and I know that it's to come about, but we have this facility, and I really want to bring awareness to this, and especially the suicide awareness event that they've got coming up, that that was a good friend of mine.
[8:40]
his son took his life long ago so it's you don't think it happens here but it does so I just
[8:50]
appreciate you guys what you do appreciate coming and telling the folks and hopefully like the
[8:56]
mayor said maybe we can get a story out of this. Any questions for these guys? Well we got them here.
[9:03]
All right well thank y'all and appreciate y'all with them and cheering with this and now with that
[9:08]
That gave me what miss having enough for you now we had the auditors, folks from Allen
[9:15]
Green, Williamson are here to present our 24 or 25 audit presentation.
[9:22]
Good evening.
[9:23]
I'm Jenny Henry.
[9:24]
I'm without a green reason.
[9:26]
My name is Anne Green.
[9:27]
I'm just eight and nine.
[9:29]
I feel like the warm up name is the presentation here.
[9:33]
The chance going to the Big Nostar and the handsome lady.
[9:37]
I can't remember if I could have copy of the records, but I'm going to go over a few
[9:45]
items.
[9:46]
I did have the 2024 report that you might have asked me questions.
[9:52]
So first, we'll look at page 5.
[9:55]
Page 5 is the Auburn Church of Kenya, and on the top that shows that there's an adverse
[10:01]
And that's just because the cord and Marshall are not included in this report.
[10:07]
But for the city's financial service, there's an unmodified opinion, which means plenty of opinion.
[10:12]
And that's what you want to know, and that's what the city would have.
[10:16]
It's on this month, it's on Friday.
[10:19]
So that's some page shop.
[10:22]
And then we'll look at the MDNA.
[10:23]
And this is where you look at both years.
[10:26]
And this is on page 15.
[10:29]
And this is the full approval.
[10:30]
This is all your capital assets and all your debt.
[10:33]
So a couple of things I wanted to point out here, sales tax.
[10:40]
So if you look kind of back in the middle,
[10:42]
you see the revenue to no-see sales tax.
[10:44]
So the tax in 2024 is 8.2 million this year was 9 million.
[10:49]
So that was quite a large increase in data.
[10:53]
your revenue was up this year, part of that was this grant
[10:57]
and contributions not restricted to a program.
[11:00]
That had this to do with the state local fiscal
[11:02]
recovery fund money.
[11:04]
That was on the line that was received here in Poland.
[11:07]
You know, people called it the ARFA money.
[11:10]
And so this year in 25, you use that
[11:14]
for the public works, maybe it's annual shelter,
[11:16]
a few other times.
[11:18]
And so it was recognized this year.
[11:21]
So that was a big, uh, in the business activities in 2024, there was a capital grant, and that
[11:27]
had to do with the CBBG project that y'all did with Bosure, and so that was a little bit
[11:33]
different there.
[11:35]
But you can see your expenses were down in governmental, and then up in the business side,
[11:43]
for a little bit with most of that being with electric.
[11:46]
So
[11:48]
please be getting questions as long as you have questions like that.
[11:55]
Feel free.
[11:56]
Now I'll go to your governmental funds.
[11:58]
And that's on page 30.
[12:00]
And this is what you usually say to your budget actual.
[12:04]
This is what you're getting.
[12:06]
These are maintenance funds according to account principles.
[12:10]
And you have the general fund, sales tax, the storage sales tax.
[12:14]
The ARCA, that's the one that I was talking about.
[12:17]
And this fund will go away this year because all the money was used.
[12:22]
You received the money in 21.
[12:25]
I think you had to spend it about this year.
[12:28]
And then you have not made your governmental.
[12:30]
And that's all covered further in the back.
[12:31]
You have a video tip, funds, staff, and maybe drug evidence.
[12:38]
Anyway, both cover those.
[12:40]
But to general fund, you can see how the next change of fund out.
[12:43]
This is like the third row from the bottom of almost $2 million, okay?
[12:50]
And then you have a total increase of 2.8 million.
[12:55]
So that was good, you went from 10.8 million fundats to 13.7, so good financials.
[13:05]
And then if you go utility, that's on page 33.
[13:07]
So,
[13:12]
you have a 3 million walls in your tiny position for your utility funds, but from 24.8 to 21.7.
[13:23]
And the largest increase in layer was your panel.
[13:32]
These questions about the utility.
[13:35]
So,
[13:39]
in page 93, this is your model, the smaller funds that made up that other aggregate.
[13:46]
So, you have your 410 funds.
[13:47]
You have your step, and it is inputs that step for weeks and the regulars, regulars
[13:52]
because that's where the seed funds come by.
[13:54]
I'm going to draw a task force.
[13:58]
Overall, the change was $248,000.
[14:02]
And, you know, over half of that was in the tip district, too.
[14:08]
So, you all went from $1 million in the beginning fund balance to the end fund balance of $1.3.
[14:14]
So
[14:24]
we're going to audit reports that if a government receives over a million dollars and federal
[14:31]
funds to cover their expenditure, then you have to have a single audit.
[14:35]
And on page one of the nine is the amount of expenditures that were covered by federal funds
[14:41]
for the city this year.
[14:48]
This year is $3 million of expenditures by the city.
[14:52]
and 2.8 of that have to do with your COVID money.
[15:07]
So, we did test the state local fiscal recovery bond. We did that for our federal testing. There were no findings with that. Everything, no non-components, everything was great with that. So, now we'll look at what our couple of findings on page 22.
[15:24]
soil,
[15:27]
and one tiny was controlled over financial order 40, and this had to do with the frills
[15:32]
that you're in, your balance sheet of camps, and to clean up the boats that you're in.
[15:36]
And the second was the late addition of auditors for us.
[15:45]
We did, there was an announcement letter, auditors, this was a repeat from last year, and this
[15:50]
has to do with a time key base system, okay, and there was the place bar in the electric
[15:57]
We're not on a time-keeping system.
[16:00]
The electric is now all that system.
[16:03]
And so we were recommending, you know,
[16:06]
you have that payroll, that time-keeping system
[16:09]
to use that.
[16:12]
Also, we had to do some testing on the bridge
[16:14]
upon procedures.
[16:16]
These are drawn up on the legislative auditor
[16:19]
and they're basically a best practices.
[16:22]
There were only two items that we noted.
[16:24]
There was one time sheet that didn't have
[16:26]
a supervisor approval.
[16:27]
and also there were some outstanding items on the bank account and so whatever was
[16:35]
maligning Katrina and they're going to be submitting those on plain property right now.
[16:42]
So there are a couple other things. One thing I wanted to mention is that I'm sure
[16:47]
the line you have told you all about the legislative auditors. There is training
[16:51]
now that you have to go for a cure. All the edd officials and employees that will be decided
[17:00]
by the mayor have to take this training and it's on the LLI website. You have to take
[17:05]
it this year and every year it's an hour training.
[17:10]
Does anyone have any questions?
[17:16]
Well feel free, you know when you should go over it, feel free to call me. You know email me
[17:22]
I'll be glad to answer and help with anything.
[17:25]
I'm glad you could turn on that today and set different timelines for upcoming audits
[17:30]
and discuss a lot of different areas.
[17:33]
So, I feel like a very good shape for coming on.
[17:36]
So, thank you.
[17:38]
Thank you.
[17:41]
Thanks.
[17:43]
I wanted to go over two things with you all that are pressing.
[17:50]
I don't file on our agenda.
[17:52]
that I just wanted to be sure that everybody's understanding
[17:57]
to a few of y'all, but our building official retired.
[18:05]
This is an agreement between the city of Minden
[18:09]
and the Houghton Fire Prevention Bureau of Houghton PSA,
[18:14]
our prevention bureau that does inspections for them.
[18:17]
And I was researching how we handle the lawsuit on building the official and one of the options we have is either hire a third party company or we can partner with another municipality that has the inspection services that we need.
[18:38]
And Houghton actually has a pretty good system in place and they're willing to partner
[18:44]
with us through what's called an intergovernmental agreement.
[18:48]
So tonight, the agenda number five is giving the permission to enter into an intergovernmental
[18:53]
agreement with Houghton.
[18:55]
This will give us time to figure out our long-term solutions.
[18:58]
It'll keep us compliant and make sure that business continues as usual in the city of
[19:05]
me until we figure out a long-term plan.
[19:09]
The other thing is kind of deciding in a bigger, a big thing also, Vicky has been working
[19:16]
on our handbook.
[19:18]
I've been telling you all for a few months that we're going to review our handbook and Vicky's
[19:25]
the chiefs in the council of coffee, of what is the proposed draft of the handbook of
[19:33]
it, her pasties out.
[19:40]
Oh, thank you. A few things, and Vicky, if you wanted to just have
[19:46]
a seat in it at the head, said no, you loved the spotlight. So Vicky had a group of people
[19:54]
that I kind of delegated the job of rewriting a handbook.
[19:58]
Vicky led the charge as her assistant, and that he was very helpful in this.
[20:04]
Neil Irwin, our attorney, worked on this handbook in Zag.
[20:09]
And I miss any of you guys.
[20:12]
Melania of course, very helpful in a lot of the details of the handbook.
[20:17]
Also we've seen it all cheaply,
[20:20]
have recommended is great idea that we're going to send it off to Aaron green the
[20:26]
civil service attorney can look it over and make sure that there's no
[20:31]
glaring out these things that we missed on that from that point of view but
[20:35]
obviously it's a little too thick to just go over but to give you a little
[20:40]
summative and all that Vicky add to this if she wants to but basically it
[20:46]
double the size of our current hand boot. And the reason for that is our current hand
[20:51]
boot leaves a lot of things to be decided. It leaves a lot of gaps. And when we need
[20:58]
it, we need it. You don't need the hand boot until you need it. Then you need it bad. And
[21:02]
a lot of times I'll go to the one we're working under right now and look for guidance from
[21:08]
how we have what procedure we have, what policy we have, a lot of times we just don't have.
[21:14]
And another thing we noticed, when it gets really serious and you need a good legal policy
[21:22]
in our own, we just didn't have it. I'll just leave it there.
[21:26]
So that is supposed to be the city and there's not a good way to ruin an organization.
[21:32]
So, if you all remember in the budget, we budgeted in HR.
[21:35]
Our P-RU is a company's name that has a lot of pre-formed, hand-good guidance, but a lot
[21:43]
of our things are so unique to me and they have to be really worked through heavily.
[21:49]
So Vicky worked really well on it.
[21:51]
We have new policies that we never had before, such as something, you know, 20 or even 10
[21:58]
or five years ago, we didn't even worry about, which was AI.
[22:02]
We didn't even AI, obviously, what was that?
[22:04]
We have that now, different things like that.
[22:06]
Vicki, do you have any thoughts on this?
[22:08]
We added a lot of things, financial administration policies,
[22:12]
based on an LLA, best practices,
[22:15]
there's a whole chat on those that were added.
[22:17]
We added a lot of records management
[22:20]
and confidentiality compliance policies
[22:24]
and management and post-section on that.
[22:27]
Also tried to streamline a lot of things
[22:29]
with our civil service because that tends to be
[22:33]
So, we try to make sure everything, either outline exactly which ones to it, press dance or have a work together.
[22:43]
We're going to sit out and have a workshop over us, or is it something like that?
[22:48]
What I'd like for you all today is to just go over it between now and October.
[22:53]
Ladies and gentlemen, any questions you can make with me or both or whoever we need to meet with.
[23:00]
It's, I can tell you, it's a really solid hand booth.
[23:04]
They're cheap phenomenal and never cheap a guy or today also and he likes the things
[23:10]
that are pointed out.
[23:12]
We can set up a meeting if we need to, but I think it's pretty solid.
[23:17]
My first major reaction is just taking home and looking over, particularly in the parks
[23:23]
there, very important, which is pretty much all of it.
[23:28]
But if they had good reason before bed, then we'd go to the side.
[23:32]
One thing's for sure is the one we have that we're currently running under.
[23:36]
I use it all the time, I'll pull that thing out of the drawer, I have it marked up and
[23:41]
tabbed off.
[23:42]
So it's very important when you need it, and I do think it's time to do it.
[23:47]
But we'd go with that a little more as we go.
[23:49]
This is just a draft for y'all to review in this one.
[23:54]
Any questions on it?
[23:55]
It's so cool, I know you all know, and she can also see a PDF copy of it for you.
[24:02]
All
[24:05]
right.
[24:05]
Thank you, Vicki.
[24:06]
Appreciate all of y'all's hard work on this.
[24:10]
Awesome.
[24:11]
I'm thinking that we have
[24:14]
John Bargdon.
[24:16]
Oh, you're sitting back here.
[24:18]
You know, you're here every month.
[24:21]
And I thought, you know what?
[24:22]
I want to call on you and see if you have anything.
[24:25]
the good team leader has he seen us a good word from Austin in DC sir he's just
[24:31]
working hard if working hard for the people that's right we appreciate all
[24:35]
you know that it's always a pleasure to see you sir glad to be here all right next we
[24:40]
have Chief Jerry McGatter to be the police reporting nothing nothing very
[24:45]
special just right along right now so that's that's about it okay chief Brian
[24:54]
One of the time weeks, real quick, for the month of August, the Minimum Fire Department responded to one vehicle fire.
[25:02]
13 miscellaneous fires, five were grass fires, wood fires, 11 public service calls.
[25:09]
One of those included the DOF team assistant on 10 service with recovery on that 20.
[25:14]
One rescue call, three has not related calls, 10 false alarms, eight fire alarms, so for a total of 47 emergency calls.
[25:29]
We still have to open in spur firefighter operators going along with the grass fire number of calls for
[25:37]
urban ban preparation in the city still in effect.
[25:40]
And last but not least, just a reminder, our P.I.L. evaluator for our party insurance.
[25:47]
the fire rate will be here on 14th of September and there's a public service
[25:53]
announcement going out tomorrow morning. Unfortunately we need the citizens
[25:59]
to bear with us. We have to flow test 22 fire hydrants in very series of the
[26:05]
city that the rating gentleman picked out and so we will start testing those
[26:11]
tomorrow, that'll take two, maybe three days at most. And
[26:15]
at the end of the whole time, the water crew will be flesh and
[26:19]
hodders to get this to the line as quick as we can. But we
[26:22]
don't have a choice. We don't pick the hydrants, they pick
[26:26]
them for us, and they're at random. So we're going to be
[26:29]
doing those all across the city starting tomorrow. Can we
[26:33]
post something like now? So start letting people know
[26:37]
But it's like, it's a kind of take place.
[26:40]
Yeah, we definitely like to have done that earlier today,
[26:43]
but we really need to give them a heads up notice
[26:46]
on this, it's possible.
[26:48]
And we just got the email today this afternoon
[26:51]
from the rate in general.
[26:53]
Yes, they decided to do it, start tomorrow.
[26:57]
But yes, we can get that out of school, if we can.
[27:00]
And it will start in the morning after 8 o'clock, so.
[27:04]
So, yeah, you did a very good job explaining that, just so everybody called it, flow testing
[27:12]
means they go out there and they pop up in the cap on the fire hydrates and see how much
[27:18]
liquid flow through there.
[27:21]
And that's cool and why it's important to everybody is it helps with your fire rating, which is
[27:27]
a good thing.
[27:28]
It helps with your insurance cost where it can be problematic is when you go popping the
[27:33]
the fire hydrant, it seems to stir everything up. So anything was just kind of chilling there in
[27:39]
the pipe. It's not going to be chilling there in the pipe anymore. So everybody needs to be prepared
[27:45]
that it's going to be some brown water and be dirty and it's probably going to last a month.
[27:52]
They flush it hard, they open it wide to see how much it can be. Again, we don't know where
[28:00]
If you ask us, is it in your neighborhood, we don't know, it's rain, we don't know, we don't know, it's rain, we have, we're just, we just received this afternoon of the 22 high rates, we are going to open, but they're in all areas of the city, it's not like just one area.
[28:17]
You know, it's a really good, good grace on how much our stuff flows, they basically got to make everything dirty.
[28:24]
So everybody needs to just get their mind dry.
[28:28]
It's going to be a dirty day.
[28:30]
Question's lost.
[28:32]
Yes.
[28:32]
But we rough on the Council of the Mayor and Book of Works.
[28:36]
Yeah.
[28:37]
Get ready for that.
[28:39]
All right.
[28:40]
Next we have our city clerk, Ms. Mulaney Sanders.
[28:45]
I don't have much.
[28:47]
Just where it all comes, a shop out there.
[28:49]
We did see a 12.13, 10, 8, 3, 6, and 7 sets.
[28:55]
That's what we related to electrical equipment sales
[28:57]
and new construction.
[28:59]
And so, which this month we're pretty good in set up on.
[29:05]
But by going on all this big projects last year,
[29:08]
we saw a lot of equipment sales equipment.
[29:11]
And so, very this year, this month, it is very, very good.
[29:16]
And then just to add to what Ms. Genie said, we made a chair and met the nurse acting for roughly three hours
[29:22]
and so we've got a pretty good idea of everything that we need to do and it has been done or how to correct things.
[29:30]
And so we're going to start working on that tomorrow and we're going to need a little bit of cooperation from other department heads
[29:37]
to get things rolled out, but we're going to get a lot of that cleaned up for next year or so.
[29:42]
I
[29:45]
think it's questions for the City Clerk.
[29:53]
Council, the other thing you need to discuss for A.
[30:00]
I know last week we, Republic had a few issues. The gentleman that was, that is our area supervisor was off. So, hopefully we got everybody picked up the wrong way for Monday. He said, if you're still having any issues, please feel free to reach out to me.
[30:23]
I don't know why I'm taking care of that, just email, phone, text, however, if you can't
[30:32]
find my sub on my reach on my website, so likewise with the email, so definitely reach
[30:38]
out there.
[30:41]
We've had some issues, it's a growing issue, I'm there with the mayor and the chief and
[30:48]
and Jeep Deputy, last winter so and so animal strays are on the rise.
[30:57]
We spent some money with getting new cages, bringing them with the city.
[31:03]
We were about out of those.
[31:05]
I'm going to try to purchase another round of cages so that our animal control can try to help in that area.
[31:14]
If you need anything in that area, life is a call me.
[31:18]
So we have also asked the mayor and the chief or a person to come on the third person.
[31:26]
We have two people in that department as of now.
[31:30]
But we need to desperately be the third person that will work Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays
[31:36]
when most people are at home and they're seeing these strays.
[31:39]
And so, I'm working with the mayor and pleased to try to find some innovative ways to catch
[31:47]
these strange, because the tranquilizer guns that we have are not the best mode to catch
[31:56]
them, you know, because you draw them, they run off, you know, it takes 10-15 minutes for
[32:01]
this stuff to work.
[32:02]
So, we're desperately looking into different measures of being able to try out the animals.
[32:07]
One big thing that carry our lady over Hamilton control asks is that if we come
[32:13]
and set a trap in your yard, please don't feed the stray. That's the worst thing
[32:20]
you can do to help us catch that animal. You know, we put food in the cage to
[32:26]
travel, but if there's food outside, you'll never get that animal, whether it's
[32:30]
cat, whatever. So anyway, just please be mindful of that, help us out with that. So
[32:36]
so we try to get some of these trails off the street.
[32:39]
Carrie does an excellent job.
[32:41]
I think she had, I don't know, about 16 puppies or so.
[32:45]
Someone around in there, my number may be off,
[32:47]
but she has done an excellent job
[32:50]
in green homing those animals with her.
[32:53]
You know, we had some cats and some other dogs,
[32:55]
and she does a very good job in moving those animals so
[33:00]
that you're not youth and I.
[33:02]
So if I can help me in a way,
[33:04]
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me, cell phone, text, email, but something that we're trying to desperately get under control.
[33:15]
I don't know that we'll solve the problem totally, but at least we can get it to a manageable number.
[33:24]
You know, so if there's any questions, how does it start to reach out?
[33:29]
Hi, anybody else?
[33:32]
I don't mind.
[33:33]
Thank you.
[33:34]
Mr. Mill, I want to know.
[33:37]
Now I'm going to get a lot of criticism when I'm with you.
[33:40]
I've been coming here for a long time, and I want to show this kind of thing to you,
[33:48]
that everybody on this council, good or bad, if they have any criticism,
[33:55]
in the criticism of this council that has been in place for four years to praise council.
[34:05]
I think this is one of the best council I know.
[34:09]
I've been coming from the press council about how many works I've been doing.
[34:14]
The mayor also had a committee to work out in the council.
[34:17]
This is the best counselor they have helped to sit on your feet up until now.
[34:25]
And I just want to come and give our own work and the hard work.
[34:31]
And I hope that everybody will be elected for the next four years.
[34:37]
And I thank you so much for giving me an entire screw up over here in the citizen.
[34:41]
I thank you for carrying this castle for the last 4 years, carrying it from the lowest
[34:49]
state to a higher state.
[34:52]
I appreciate that we are running here ourselves now, man.
[34:56]
Well, thank you.
[34:57]
Thank you.
[34:58]
Thank you.
[34:59]
Well, I'm there to be going top there.
[35:01]
It makes a joke.
