Um, under committee of the whole, um, we
have Jeannie Weber here this evening to

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,036
talk to you about the Hispanic Heritage
Festival. I believe has a map here with

38
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:15,200
the layout uh, kind of setting
[clears throat] up the uh, the area.

39
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:20,720
» Hi everybody. Um, I am Jeannie Weber and
I'm here on behalf of Ann Tunnel 2. We

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:26,560
are partnering this year with BCA on the
Hispanic Heritage Festival and reducing

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:32,239
its size quite considerably because we
are anticipating doing Baconfest next

42
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:37,680
year. So, we're uh we don't need to
carry two large events in our office.

43
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:42,319
It's a lot. Um anyway, the map will show
you uh where we would love to have the

44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:47,280
roads closed off and that would be West
Broadway and South Maine. That's where

45
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:53,680
the vendors are going to be. Um, each
year the team from Abnner's volunteers

46
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,400
to run our bar and they want to um try
to be adjacent to their bar so they can

47
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:04,239
have access to ice and those kinds of
things. Um, if anybody has any questions

48
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:09,519
about the map, I can answer them for
you. Otherwise, um, the event is

49
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:16,239
scheduled for September 19th. We are
also making this a little bit more

50
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:21,519
familyfriendly, changing the hours um to
um 4 to 900 p.m.

51
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:28,480
So, we'll be shutting down a lot
earlier.

52
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:32,799
Um Chief, um do you think we need to
block off

53
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:37,680
all four in the 100 blocks so we don't
have traffic trying to enter into

54
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:41,280
» um the area? I don't think we're have to
block off all four of them. North Main

55
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,920
Street, East Broadway, I think will be
fine. East Broadway traffic, well, North

56
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,319
Main, the one coming south and North
Main will have to be blocked that way.

57
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:55,680
Nothing's going on. East Broadway I
think will be okay going if they go off

58
00:03:52,799 --> 00:04:01,439
north off the square, but um we'll
probably have to block three of those

59
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:05,040
main roadways off. They're the one that
>> Yeah. I just think with traffic, it's

60
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,239
» just keep people safe.
>> Y

61
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:12,480
» Yeah. We'll work with you on where we'll
put the stage and everything and that

62
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:15,280
can kind of help block as well,
>> right? [clears throat]

63
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,120
» Yeah.
>> Okay. Um, council, have any questions

64
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:21,759
for Jeanie?
>> No, I just have one of the chief. So,

65
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,520
your only your only traffic would just
be off East Broadway off to North Main,

66
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,160
right? They can only make the curve
there. Cool.

67
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,040
» All right.
>> That'll be some relief.

68
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,360
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. We're trying to give some relief

69
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:40,343
to all of this. It's a lot to ask to
close everything down on the square on

70
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,160
Saturday night.
[clears throat]

71
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:51,360
» Any other questions?
>> Um, I'd entertain a motion for approval

72
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:58,240
of the u the proposed layout here for
the Hispanic festival on September 19th

73
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:02,479
from 4 to 9:00 p.m. Probably need some
time on either side of that for setting

74
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,560
up and tearing down.
Yeah, I'm not sure. Um the stage is

75
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,800
going to be smaller and normally they
set it up the night before, but I think

76
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:16,160
this stage is small enough that they'll
be able to bring it in um earlier in the

77
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:20,400
day and set it up at that time.
>> Where's the stage going to be at?

78
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:26,160
» It'll be in front of BCA some way
somehow. Um we also um bought some extra

79
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,880
cones last year to protect the
landscaping that's so beautiful. So,

80
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:37,120
we'll um make sure to mark all of that
off and make um ongoing announcements

81
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:41,479
that that asks that people don't step on
the landscaping.

82
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,199
» Okay.
Do I see I have a motion, a second,

83
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:52,639
right?
>> No, no motion. No second.

84
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:54,960
» Okay. Entertain motion. Second. Yep.
>> And a second we

85
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,320
» second.
>> Okay. All right. So, we have a motion to

86
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,680
second. Any other questions or
discussion

87
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,880
hearing? None. A roll call, please.
>> Connor,

88
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,240
» yes.
>> Tornadoed,

89
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,360

00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,759
» yes.
>> Teal,

92
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,800
» yes.

» yes.

00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:17,440
» Thank you very much.
>> Thank you.

95
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,759
Um, next we have u
Mr. Patel here with us this evening from

96
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:29,440
American
requesting a

97
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:35,120
liquor license. um so that he can have
gaming terminals in his hotel.

98
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:40,479
» Hello everyone, this is Harry Harry
Patel from American. We are the new

99
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:46,080
owner. We purchased last year and this
year we would like to have on premises

100
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:50,160
leaker license where we can sell out on
premises leaker as well as have some

101
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:55,120
video gaming machines like three through
four and they will always stay front of

102
00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:00,569
the front desk area where everybody I
mean front desk staff will monitor 247.

103
00:06:58,549 --> 00:07:00,569
[clears throat]

104
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:09,440
» We've council has limited those in the
past. I uh I guess I would uh defer to

105
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,319
council.
>> So it will bring the more revenue for

106
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:20,880
the city as well
>> and where our guests can enjoy the

107
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:25,639
gaming and little liquor too.
>> Council have any questions for Mr.

108
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,639
Patel?

109
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,880
» Do we have a
a motion to

110
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,440
Is that what we need? A motion to
approve a going to you're either going

111
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:42,720
to make a motion or I'll die for lack of
action. So I guess you guys can discuss

112
00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:47,560
it ahead of it or is anybody interested
in moving this item forward

113
00:07:47,919 --> 00:07:54,960
doesn't sound like it. So
unfortunately the request is probably

114
00:07:53,520 --> 00:08:00,680
not going to happen.
>> No worries. Thank you very much.

115
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,680
» Thank you sir.

116
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:09,160
Next we have our building and zoning
July report. Director Clark.

117
00:08:09,290 --> 00:08:11,310
[clears throat]

118
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,720
Good evening, Mayor Council. Zoning
Department continues to issue permits,

as well as send out notices for mowing,

junk and debris, unsafe structures, or
houses in need of repair or removal.

121
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:34,719
There is a change. Uh, I missed they we
did send out five unsafe notices, three

122
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,800
for demo and then two that we've had
responses back and they're making the

getting closed in their new 70x 226.9
ft warehouse storage construction.

129
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:17,360
Monmouth College at 9003 East Broad
continues for additional student housing

130
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:22,480
with electrical, plumbing, and sprinkler
system roughing inspection completed.

base of that area. Uh they're hoping to

134
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:42,959

And then u the Robins [clears throat]

masonary and structural has been

137
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:57,120
application three the wind window
installations uh they are down to I

138
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:03,279
believe eight windows these are the ones
that have brick above the windows they

139
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:08,800
will be removing all of that as well uh
and putting full windows back into that

140
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:14,240
building and then Jameson center rehab
rehab houses uh this is where they

141
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:19,360
partnered with Jameson Center and a
local nonprofit

142
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:24,959
uh to uh buy h find houses, purchase
them, and renovate them for for the

143
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:28,560
living need. And it's been going over
quite well. I think it's a little over

144
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:32,320
the budget that they anticipated. So,
they're refining some of that. So,

145
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:38,079
they've kind of slowed down a little bit
on that. Uh but that's uh definitely a a

146
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:43,040
plus for the community. And then the
zoning board of appeals was scheduled to

147
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:48,240
meet on Wednesday, July 8th at 5:30 p.m.
to review a request for a setback

148
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:55,519
variance due to no quorum. It was
rescheduled for Wednesday, August 12th.

149
00:10:52,640 --> 00:11:02,240
And that'll be coming back to you that
following cons uh council providing we

150
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:07,760
have a quorum for that. Any questions?
>> Joe, I don't know if I missed that or

151
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,240
» um can you go back to RP Lumber? Oh,
yes. You know what? I guess I did miss

152
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,720
that. I do.
>> Do you have an estimate of when they

153
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:20,000
plan to be completed opening?
>> Well, they were hoping to be done like

154
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:24,240
30 days ago and they they had some
overruns in some other areas, other

155
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,720
locations. They have one builder that
does all their building for all their

156
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:35,040
stores and so they had issues at another
location. So, I am thinking they should

157
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:40,399
be done within the next 30 days, but I
will I will get a final timeline on that

158
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,320
for you tomorrow and reach back out and
let you let everybody know.

159
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,160
» Thank you.
>> Okay.

160
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,160
» Are they putting up any more buildings?
Just

161
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,120
» No, that's just that one's for wood
storage.

162
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,399
» Okay.
>> Yeah.

163
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Not at this time. They haven't came
forward with anything else.

164
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,440
» That's fine. Uh are they putting another
one back up Mama College where they're

165
00:11:54,399 --> 00:12:01,440
turning the frat house in? kind of
they're rebuilding a new frat house or

166
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:05,200
» um so they haven't they haven't gave any
information on that as of yet. It has

167
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,560
not crossed my desk yet what they're
going to do exactly there.

168
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:13,079
» Okay.
>> If I hear of anything I'll let you know.

169
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:21,240
» Thank you Jill.
>> Thank you. Next we have the Wooder and

170
00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:21,240
Curran Junior report director,

171
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,760
Mayor and Council,
Advanced Plumbing has begun working on

172
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,639
phase two of our lead service line
replacement project.

173
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:44,399
Uh planning efforts are continuing on
several of our capital projects

174
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,000
including the South Main Street sanitary
sewer lining project which will go

175
00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:52,480
underneath uh where the new streetscape
is going. Uh we plan on seeing that

176
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:57,360
starting here in the coming months be uh
some new manholes and some sewer lining

177
00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:01,040
down there. Our north main water man
replacement project which again will be

178
00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:05,519
underneath the streetscaped area which
is coming up. Uh bid documents are

179
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:09,680
currently being put together and we'll
have a bid coming out here soon. Uh both

180
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:14,800
these projects of course need to be
completed before that 200 block of Main

181
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:18,800
Street streetscape begins. Uh public
works employees have also been working

182
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:23,680
closely with our order and current
funding team to pursue uh CDBG and USDA

183
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:29,519
funding opportunities for some of our
future projects we've been looking into.

184
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:33,680
In addition to project planning and
construction activities, water and

185
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:37,519
street department employees responded to
and repaired several water mane breaks

186
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:42,959
throughout the month while continuing
their usual responsibilities.

187
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:48,800
Uh, one thing I'd like to have a short
report, but one thing I'd like to uh

188
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:52,880
give notice of is initially with our
West Harlem water treatment plant, we

189
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:57,519
were planning on rehabbing the well,
well 7 with the construction of the

190
00:13:55,279 --> 00:14:01,519
plant. Uh, at the time with that
planning, the well was currently

191
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:06,079
functional. Now, the well pump has
failed on that well on well seven, which

192
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,320
is one of our six, and it's pretty
critical to get that back up and

193
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:15,279
running. Um, that all being said, we are
working on removing the rehab of that

194
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:20,079
well from the West Harlem water
treatment plant bid and trying to get

195
00:14:17,839 --> 00:14:23,279
that replaced sooner as opposed to
waiting for that bid to come out and

196
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:28,480
having to wait for a contractor and the
plant to be built. Uh that all being

197
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:33,199
said, for phase one of that repair, we
were able to go out for bids. Uh I took

198
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:37,600
three bids for that work. One from
Cahooy Well and Pump, who I believe is

199
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:42,160
down near Springfield, one from Brock
Key Well and Pump, who's a Missouri

200
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:46,000
based company, and one from Municipal
Well and Pump, who's up from the Quad

201
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:50,560
Cities. Uh we were able to collect three
bids, and the low bidder was for

202
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:54,399
Municipal Well and Pump. And I guess I
just wanted to inform you all that they

203
00:14:52,399 --> 00:15:00,560
will be starting work on that here soon.
They were under $10,000 to uh remove the

204
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:05,040
current well pump, do an alignment test,
and generally get it prepared for

205
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:10,320
installing the new one. Um just to
inform council. So beyond that, I think

206
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:14,240
I can answer any questions if anybody
has any.

207
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,600
» I wanted to thank you and Joe for taking
care of that that I talked to you guys

208
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,320
about last week or two weeks ago at the
meeting.

209
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,199
» Yep. But I'm [snorts] still concerned
with how the curbs and stuff look. I

210
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:26,800
mean,
>> okay,

211
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:29,440
» they're looking better, but I know
people are responsible for that

212
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,560
themselves. It's really bad on
Southside, and that's We have a lot of

213
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:35,760
businesses that
>> some do good, some don't do good taking

214
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:38,639
care of their their stuff. I know we
can't

215
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:41,360
» we don't want to force people to take
care of their things, but I know a lot

216
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,240
of businesses uptown are small business.
They don't have weed wags, they don't

217
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,320
have mowers, and we get weeds growing up
through the cracks.

218
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:51,120
I I wish you could look into it or I
hope you look into it and see if there's

219
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:55,120
a way we can get somebody that can once
a month go up Main Street because that's

220
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,040
where most our traffic from out of towns
and clean up the curbs.

221
00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:00,160
» Yep.
>> A little bit. You know, it's it's

222
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,800
looking better. I think it got cleaned
up for the car show, but

223
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:06,480
» Yep. Yeah. We had the guys run up and
down north and south uh and they cleaned

224
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:08,800
up. It would have been in front of the
curbs like in the roadway itself, you

225
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:13,040
know,
>> and I did notice that and like I I

226
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:16,639
already talked to Joe, but I appreciate
you guys taking care of that. I just

227
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:20,959
wish people would, you know, and as the
city, we put a lot of money out here

228
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:23,821
lately to beautify the downtown. I I
think we need to stretch that out a

229
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,040
little farther and with the help of,
[clears throat] you know, some of your

230
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:28,000
crews, it could at least look a little
cleaner.

231
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,680
» Okay.
>> On Main Street.

232
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:38,959
» Thank you.
>> I kind of I'm hesitant how to word this.

233
00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:41,759
We had a memo at our last meeting about
a wastewater issue.

234
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,360
» Okay. Y
>> um

235
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:49,680
Are we resolved on that or
>> uh we're getting pretty close to

236
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:53,680
resolution. Um so of our processes out
there, you've got an anorobic lagoon and

237
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:59,519
then you have two aerobic lagoons and
they all work in series to treat the

238
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:04,559
water. Um the industrial producer has
made some extra extraordinarily positive

239
00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:09,360
steps towards helping us out
>> and uh we're seeing some clear water

240
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:12,959
coming out of that plant now and I think
we're just about we're getting pretty

241
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:16,079
close to where we were before. So, I
think there's been some great strides.

242
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:20,160
» Good job.
>> Yeah, it's Bill Hart and all his guys.

243
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,280
He's uh been putting a lot of hours in
and they do a great job. So,

244
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,439
» we appreciate that.
>> Yep. For sure.

245
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,439
» Thank you. Any other questions for
Braden?

246
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:36,400
» Since you're up there.
>> Yep.

247
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:39,520
» I think we have a we had budgeted for
some uh purchasing some new water meters

248
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:44,240
and
>> Yep. And uh I I think we can try to get

249
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,799
those put in.
>> Yeah. So uh last year uh was a little

250
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:54,640
bit earlier than year than this year,
but uh last year we purchased some water

251
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:58,240
meters from Midwest Meter. Uh we're kind
of starting up a program of replacing

252
00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:03,440
these meters as we go, trying to reduce
our water loss and update our system,

253
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:07,520
become more efficient. Uh last year we
bought about 225 of them. Uh we're going

254
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,600
for a similar number this year. The
prices have unfortunately gone up a

255
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:18,080
little bit like everything. Um, but I'm
looking for council approval to purchase

256
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:21,880
uh approximately 190 meters from Midwest
Meter for $57,030.

257
00:18:23,679 --> 00:18:30,720
» Thank you. That should help us with uh
resolving some dead meters and loss uh

258
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:35,120
revenue that way.
>> Yeah. And uh the numbers I can kind of

259
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:39,520
speak to on that. Last year we had uh
almost 300 dead meters and of course

260
00:18:37,919 --> 00:18:44,559
you've got new ones popping up all the
time. Um but those dead meters are lost

261
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:48,080
revenues for the city. Uh you know
giving away free water in some

262
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:53,520
circumstance, not free but reduced price
water um when you don't have a proper

263
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:57,039
way to calculate usage. Um that being
said, our number of dead meters this

264
00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:02,080
year has been reduced to approximately
125. Uh, so we are making progress and

265
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:08,240
hopefully this will help us get to a
pretty good level.

266
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:14,160
» I said it was included in our budget. So
>> I would entertain

267
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:18,480
a motion for um approval of the purchase
of the water meters.

268
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,200
» Motion approved.
>> Second.

269
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,200
» I have a motion and a second. Any other
questions?

270
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:27,200
» Hearing none. Roll call, please.
>> Barry.

271
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,320
» Yes. Van Fleet,
>> yes.

272
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,000
» Seal,
>> yes.

273
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,200
» Bone,
>> yes.

274
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:32,640
» Connor,
>> yes.

275
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,559
» Penedo,
>> yes.

276
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:38,440
» Motion carry.
>> Thank you.

277
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,440
» Thank you.

278
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:50,640
» Okay. Under ordinances, um we have u
three ordinances pertaining to the um

279
00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:56,559
approving and setting up the
redevelopment plan for the east side

280
00:19:53,120 --> 00:20:03,520
tiff district which was for the u
purchase of the Diane Brown property. Um

281
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:09,520
and uh the first ordinance is the
annexation of the Diane Brown property.

282
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:14,400
That's the first step. I think these are
presented in order. The next is for the

283
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:17,400
um
um

284
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:24,160
approves the redevelopment plan for the
tiff which includes public

285
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:28,320
infrastructure improvements for the
residential subdivision along with

286
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:33,760
miscellaneous street and drainage
improvements. The second uh designates

287
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:38,080
the redevelopment project area which
we've had our tiff boundary map with all

288
00:20:36,159 --> 00:20:42,320
of our materials. And the third
ordinance adopts the tax increment

289
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:46,559
allocation which directs future
incremental property tax revenues to be

290
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:52,400
used to pay for the public
infrastructure improvement costs to

291
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:56,640
support the the private residential
development.

292
00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:02,400
So I would entertain a motion for
approval of annexation of the Diane

293
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:05,360
Brown property.
>> So move.

294
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:11,000
» I have a motion and
>> second

295
00:21:05,919 --> 00:21:11,000
» and a second. Are there any questions?

296
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:14,400
» Hearing none. A roll call, please.
>> Bley,

297
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,679
» yes.
>> Seal,

298
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:17,120
» yes.
>> Bone,

299
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,799
» yes.
>> Connor,

300
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,080
» yes.
>> Pedo,

301
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,200
» yes.
>> Barry,

302
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:26,080
» yes.
>> Motion carried.

303
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:32,960
» Thank you. And then we have the three
ordinances again, uh, establishing the

304
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:40,240
redevelopment plan for the single family
housing project. the uh designating the

305
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:46,880
area which is we have in our map and
then the uh allocation of the financing

306
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:51,919
of the east side using the tiff
increment to pay for the the bonds that

307
00:21:49,919 --> 00:21:55,520
will be issued to pay for the
infrastructure.

308
00:21:53,520 --> 00:22:00,960
I would entertain a motion for approval
of those three ordinances together.

309
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,600
» Motion to approve.
>> Second.

310
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:07,280
» I have a motion and I have a second. Are
there any questions?

311
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:09,840
[cough]
>> Hearing none. Roll call, please.

318

» Motion carried.
>> Thank you.

319
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:32,960
Um, our next ordinance uh amends the
uh liquor ordinance on the number of

320
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:38,799
of uh ordinances we have for selling
package liquor. I think an individual

321
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:45,360
came before council and requested that
um the city considered that they

322
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:49,440
directed um our attorney to draft the
ordinance. Mark them with anything

323
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,679
there.
>> It just provides for the additional

324
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:58,640
package liquor ordinance. So
>> this is not a poor license. So there's

325
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:03,280
no gaming involved.
>> The recipient of this license will not

326
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,720
be able to do gaming.
>> Okay.

327
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,320
» So I would entertain a motion for
>> know the location. Pardon me.

328
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:15,760
» Did we know the location on that?
>> Well, he didn't have one at the time.

329
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:23,679
» He did not have one. Another individual
came in and said that he had a lease for

330
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:27,760
a property on South or on North Main
Street.

331
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:34,000
Different individual wanted to put in a
package and had a had a lease uh secured

332
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,880
on North Main. So,
>> first come first.

333
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:43,039
» I guess it's a matter of uh
>> first come first.

334
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:46,080
» I would say that's probably the answer.
you have to pass the background check

335
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:50,400
and all that. So,
>> there's a lot of requirements before we

336
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:55,760
can and get through this through all of
the these that the police do and

337
00:23:53,760 --> 00:24:01,600
fingerprinting and and then the state
approves. And so, this is a kind of a

338
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:09,200
step, but if you approve this that we
will have one package liquor available

339
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:12,880
for anyone who meets the requirements.
Sorry. Random like Mark, are you good

340
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,640
with this
>> the ordinance?

341
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,679
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

342
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:20,960
» Okay.
>> Why policy issues?

343
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,720
» No question.
>> No, just

344
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:28,240
» I mean, yeah, in the in the past council
has questioned how many

345
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,200
» how many liquor ordinance or how many
liquor license does our city need? I

346
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,240
» I mean,
>> that's why I'm asking.

347
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:38,559
» I would say that the market will take
care of it at some point, right? I mean,

348
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:43,360
» if everybody has a license Well, and I
think that's the discussion is, you

349
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:47,279
know, we have some
folks who've been around a long time, it

350
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:50,720
looks like to me, and I would hate to
see

351
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:53,600
folks who've been long-term residents
here with their businesses.

352
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,960
Um,
>> I honestly I don't think it's going to

353
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,600
push anybody out.
>> Yeah.

354
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:03,200
» I really don't.
>> If there's one thing that'll keep going

355
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:08,799
in town, it's just my opinion. liquor
stores and churches and and and

356
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:12,640
» we need the churches
>> offset maybe

357
00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:18,799
on Sunday.
>> So, all right.

358
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:20,880
» So, we have a motion and a second for
this or not yet.

359
00:25:20,159 --> 00:25:24,000
» I'm sorry.
>> I'm sorry.

360
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,919
» Didn't mean to get ahead of us.
>> You're fine.
