So um 17 00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:36,400 » let's start with the public hearing. >> Yeah. Okay. I mean public hearing first. 18 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,280 Oh yeah, there it is. Public hearing. Additional comments. So and then also 19 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,560 this is actually the public hearing for our budget. 20 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:48,640 » Additional appropriations. >> I'm sorry. Okay. Um public hearing for 21 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:52,240 additional appropriations. So um is there any comments now? Hannah, is this 22 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,079 something that you're going to talk >> for the bonds? 23 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,040 » This is for the bond. Okay. Okay. Do you want to go ahead and do you want to go 24 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,920 ahead and uh that would be great. Thank you. 25 00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:03,439 Good evening, Hannah Clintenning, Barnes & Thornberg. I'm here in place of my 26 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:08,479 colleague Kim Blanchett. Uh we've been serving as bond council to the city for 27 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:13,040 the proposed geo bonds. Um so this is the second stage of the required 28 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:18,720 approvals um legally speaking. So the first one was done back in um I think 29 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,680 August we were last here and that was just the introduction of the bond 30 00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:25,280 ordinance. Now, we're asking that we open a public hearing tonight and hold 31 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,000 this and allow the public to come up and have questions, comments, what have you. 32 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,760 Um, both to educate the council and the public on what's being proposed here. 33 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,480 Following the close of the public hearing later in the meeting, we would 34 00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:41,120 then ask you to consider two separate items. One would be the bond ordinance, 35 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:45,840 which authorizes all of the maximum terms. So, that would be a $400,000 36 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:51,200 amount as the highest possible amount that could be issued. um a maximum of 6% 37 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,480 for the interest rate and then I think it's a four-year term. So the final 38 00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:00,800 maturity would be no later than 2029. So again, these are all just maximums. It's 39 00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:05,440 very likely that the city would issue less than that depending on when they're 40 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,319 issued, pricing, that kind of thing. Um but it's designed to have a lot of 41 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,560 flexibility for the proposed project which covers I think a lot of different 42 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,040 things. It's um fire department improvements. Is that right? um parks, a 43 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,480 school, the former elementary school. >> Elementary school. Yeah. 44 00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:23,200 » Um so yeah, and then the other resolution would be the additional 45 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,239 appropriation, which is just because this was not originally provided for in 46 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,959 the budget for the year. So I'm happy to answer any other questions, but that's 47 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:36,400 just kind of the big picture of what we've got on the table today. 48 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,239 » We actually voted on this last month, >> but we didn't sign the bond order. 49 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:43,200 » We didn't stand the bid or so that's why we had to bring it back up again this 50 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,640 month. Um 51 00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:51,879 but um any questions or anything we want to talk about? 52 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,680 Okay. Do a motion then to approve again? I guess do we need a motion? We already 53 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,480 approved it once I guess. Did we Margaret? Do we need 54 00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:05,360 » Yeah, we can consider it the second reading. Did 55 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:11,360 » you say the interest rate max was 6%. >> 6%. 56 00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:14,000 » These days we've been seeing closer. >> Okay. 57 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:19,600 Do do we need to vote on this again? >> Um, 58 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,600 yeah. Let's >> Okay. 59 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:23,680 » For the second reading tonight. >> Okay. All right.

Okay. 329 00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:16,559 » My name is Linda Wilk and I'm director of Hands of Hope, which is part of 330 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:20,640 Radiant Health and Radiant Health. So to give you a little bit of background um I 331 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:25,679 have been with hands of hope or was family service society incorporated 332 00:23:22,159 --> 00:23:31,760 since 1994. So when I first started the agency family services had an office in 333 00:23:27,919 --> 00:23:36,640 Blackford County and so I was new. I had established in Grant was asked to start 334 00:23:33,919 --> 00:23:41,280 in Wabash was also here in Blackford and then our agency moved out of Blackford 335 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:46,960 and so I moved myself out of Blackford because Muny a better way at that time 336 00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:52,400 was serving Blackford County. Well, when fast forward to Family Service society 337 00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:57,360 merging with Grant Blackford in 2023, they then took over the office here and 338 00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:01,360 we called it now Radiant Health. And so, as I started to do employee orientation 339 00:23:59,679 --> 00:24:05,600 and somebody would say, "Well, I'm in the Blackford office." I'd say, "Well, 340 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:10,159 then all my materials are irrelevant to you. You need a better way." It didn't 341 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:13,200 feel right to me. So, I approached a better way, their executive director, 342 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:17,600 and said, "I'd really like to start serving Blackford County again." and she 343 00:24:15,679 --> 00:24:22,240 said, 'Th that's great. We don't have an office here. We don't have the capacity 344 00:24:19,679 --> 00:24:25,200 really. And I said, 'Well, we do. And so that's why I'm here tonight. I've met 345 00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:29,360 with the mayor. I've met with your police chief. I'm trying to get to all 346 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:34,159 the key places to let people know that we are servicing Blackford County. 347 00:24:32,159 --> 00:24:38,960 Probably need to step back a little bit. We are a victim service provider. So, we 348 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,559 work with domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking, and human 349 00:24:40,159 --> 00:24:46,559 trafficking. So, anyone whether they're involved with law enforcement or they're 350 00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:50,720 not, if they have a need, please encourage them and I'm going to leave 351 00:24:47,919 --> 00:24:55,279 you some materials to reach out to us. Our services are all free. They're all 352 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:59,919 confidential. I am right now in the process of writing a grant that if I'm 353 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:04,960 successful, come January, I will be able to hire someone specific for Blackford 354 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:10,000 County. So, my original plan was to provide staff to come over and we still 355 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:13,679 will do that, but I really feel like having someone specific for Blackford 356 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:19,360 County is going to be better for everyone um cons involved. I also um 357 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:23,360 just a little bit about what we do. Again, we're 247. So, I've already, you 358 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,559 know, again, talked to your police chief. I've met a couple of the officers 359 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:31,039 that came to one of the trainings that that I provided. Was very impressed with 360 00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:35,279 the two young officers that came. very interested in working with us and 361 00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:40,559 domestic violence and helping victims. We um as I said are 247 which means that 362 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:45,440 if law enforcement is on a scene working with the victim and they say you know 363 00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:49,840 victim needs safe shelter, victim needs a protective order, whatever it is the 364 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:54,400 victim needs, then call us. You know, I'm going to give you each one of you my 365 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:59,120 card and our our 24-hour number. When and I have staff 8 am to 9:00 p.m. The 366 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:04,320 plan would be to have staff during the day here in Blackford County. Then after 367 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:08,320 hours, we each carry a cell phone. So if it's again, if it's a something they 368 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:13,919 need immediate assistance, they dial one. Whoever's on call is going to then 369 00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:18,159 respond and come and like I tried to make sure law enforcement knows that 370 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:22,720 means we will be there to help you, you know. So if you say the victim's living 371 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:26,640 with their abuser, maybe their abuser's family because we have that happen. 372 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,400 Abuser's been arrested because law enforcement has probable cause to make 373 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:34,240 that arrest. Victim can't stay there now. Well, then that becomes our 374 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:38,720 responsibility to find them a safe place to stay and work with them as long as 375 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:42,240 they need services. So that could be getting a protective order. It could be 376 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:47,200 assisting them with safety measures like security cameras, door jambs, window 377 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:51,360 bars. It could be relocating them, you know, to a safe shelter. It could be 378 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:56,000 getting a protective order, going to court with them, abusers evicted from 379 00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:59,919 that property, and then victim come back and live there again. We're going to 380 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,440 work with the victim to whatever their needs are. We're not going to dictate 381 00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:11,919 what they're going to do. It's up to them. But I need community to talk about 382 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:16,400 us, to let people know we're a good program. You know, we're here to help. I 383 00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:20,400 understand that Blackford County is a small close-knit community. That can 384 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,679 maybe be difficult sometimes for someone to trust someone outside of the 385 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:28,799 community. That's why I want to integrate myself into the community. So, 386 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:33,760 if there's other places I can speak, I've spoken a couple churches. Um, I'd 387 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:37,919 like to get to your rotaries, to, you know, your service clubs, any 388 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:42,880 organization, no matter how small, how big, I want to go and educate them, talk 389 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:46,640 to them. October is domestic violence awareness month. That's another reason I 390 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:50,720 wanted to come this month. I did bring a few ribbons if anybody is interested in 391 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:55,919 wearing a ribbon. And again, I have our brochures and materials. And this 392 00:27:52,799 --> 00:28:00,480 Thursday is purple Thursday. So, if you can wear purple and again, I'll give you 393 00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:04,960 my card if you can take a picture and send it to me or put it directly on our 394 00:28:02,399 --> 00:28:08,720 Facebook page. Love to do that, too. So, it's all about creating awareness. You 395 00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:12,159 know, domestic violence. As long as I've been doing this work, it's still 396 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:15,600 something that people don't like to talk about. out. They don't like to 397 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:20,159 recognize. They like to think it's just physical. We want to talk to someone 398 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,000 when it's beginning, when the emotional, the verbal, the name calling, the put 399 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,799 downs, when all of that is happening. We want to get to them before law 400 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:30,640 enforcement has to get involved. That's the ideal. If law enforcement needs to 401 00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:34,880 get involved, we want to be that helping hand for law enforcement, for the 402 00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:38,880 community. But again, you know, we want to be here to assist. So, if you have 403 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:43,039 any questions for me, I'm happy to answer them. I'll just share funding 404 00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:48,320 wise, a lot of our funding is through grants. We also do get local 405 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:52,640 contributions, donations. That's another thing as I, you know, start to work 406 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:56,960 closer with Blackford County. We want to come up with resources. You know, we 407 00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:01,360 know the food pantry, there's a constant need. So, we want to be able to provide 408 00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:05,200 those things for clients, whether it's hygiene products or, you know, other 409 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:10,880 things that they can't get through food stamps. Those are things that we can 410 00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:13,840 help to create more of a barrier buster so that if they're staying because of 411 00:29:12,399 --> 00:29:18,960 financial reasons because a lot of times that's why they stay, we can help them 412 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:24,799 work through that. So don't, you know, I always say call us, let us help, you 413 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:28,000 know, figure out next steps. So, and we have had a had a few calls. We're 414 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:32,640 currently working with a couple people from Blackford County. So, but can you 415 00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:35,919 know again it's all about getting the word out, letting people know. We tried 416 00:29:34,399 --> 00:29:41,520 to do a big campaign. Yeah. >> We had some money for billboards that we 417 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:44,799 had recently um in materials. So, I just um appreciate the opportunity to come 418 00:29:43,919 --> 00:29:48,559 here >> and share a little bit about what we're 419 00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:52,080 doing and give you a little bit of our materials and get if you have any 420 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:56,000 questions for me. I know John knows me fairly well. 421 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,679 » Worked with him once or twice. >> Yeah. 422 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,840 » For campaign, >> not for domestic violence. 423 00:30:00,159 --> 00:30:05,200 » Radio station through the radio station.

And I know the mayor was willing to set up our materials. I 429 00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:38,880 appreciate that out front. I know that law enforcement has our materials. So 430 00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:45,200 again, it's just about as you think of somewhere that I could leave materials 431 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:47,279 or speak. Please, you have my card now. >> You dropped anything else at the 432 00:30:46,399 --> 00:30:52,559 library? >> I have not yet. No, I will definitely do 433 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:55,440 that though.

Um, and the more people I 489 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:03,920 talk about this too, they're really excited about 490 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:07,599 highlighting the history in your guys' area. So, that's where I see the 491 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,599 program. >> Okay. All right. Any questions or any 492 00:35:09,839 --> 00:35:15,520 thoughts? Okay.

So not and and great for the city 509 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:44,880 too for that that we're getting this. So that we're very excited about. So it's a 510 00:36:41,359 --> 00:36:49,760 double win in many ways. Um, so, um, 511 00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:55,599 yeah, that was that's a that was a great bonus. So, uh, should help some of our 512 00:36:52,480 --> 00:37:00,400 our, uh, local people with making some housing improvements that I'm sure 513 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:04,880 that's needed. So, there'll be more details of that following. Um, we 514 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:11,160 haven't got the applications or anything yet. I think I probably start at first 515 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,160 of the year. Um, 516 00:37:11,359 --> 00:37:16,880 traffic ordinance. We talked about this last month. I think it was last month. 517 00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:23,520 Yeah. Starting our ordinance. We were reducing 518 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:29,280 our speed from starting at Chestnut um to 25 519 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:36,720 and going up to Monroe Street and from Monroe Street north on on Main Street, 520 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:43,280 we would be 20 miles an hour. Um and uh there was some debate over what 521 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:47,200 road we can we can control. 6:30 north is 522 00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:51,520 the county's call for what the speed I have requested 523 00:37:49,359 --> 00:37:57,200 that they they lower the speed because it as of right now the speed limit is 524 00:37:53,599 --> 00:38:04,000 going to go from 55 to 25 and that's not safe. Um I have been to two um county 525 00:38:01,839 --> 00:38:08,000 commissioner meetings and and asked them a couple times and said they were going 526 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:13,440 to look into it. Um that's as far as we've gotten. So, I'm I this is this is 527 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:18,240 an issue, though. I am hoping if you know any of the county commissioners, 528 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:24,800 I'd say please talk to them about this. Um but but I guess first off, I we know 529 00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:29,280 we've talked about this. Uh is there any more discussion? 530 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:36,880 » So, the road from Chestnut to 6:30, that whole road is controlled by the county. 531 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:43,839 » It's it's um is that right, Chris? Um 6:30 to Chestnut, that's all county. 532 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:46,880 » So depends who you talk to. Um >> yeah, 533 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:50,880 » if you look at if you look at uh well, let me back up, but talking with John 534 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:54,720 Floomer, who is the county highway supervisor, 535 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:58,960 » um that they show that that entire stretch of road there between those two 536 00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:05,359 points as on the county's inventory. However, looking at um the uh the Beacon 537 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:11,280 Schneider map kind of shows the city limits. When the city annexed down to 538 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:16,640 630 north on the west side of the road, they have the city limits, they have the 539 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:21,359 roadway split up. The southbound lane going out of town is in the city. The 540 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:25,480 eastbound lane coming in it shows is the counties. So, 541 00:39:25,839 --> 00:39:30,560 I'm going to go with half of the road is ours and half the road is theirs. 542 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,040 » You can kind of see it up here on this map a little. 543 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:38,800 » Unfortunately, the part we would like to control is in the county. 544 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:42,160 » Yeah, the green is city. >> This is the green is city. And I know 545 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:48,560 that not going to see this on Facebook, but this is 6:30 east, 6:30 north. This 546 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:54,480 is all city right here. This is county. Uh this is where Main Street coming 547 00:39:50,640 --> 00:40:00,400 coming in. Main Street. So, basically, um, we would like the county to produce 548 00:39:57,359 --> 00:40:05,680 a speed starting right here, but because it's it's 55 until you get to this spot 549 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:09,839 in Chestnut. Um, 550 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:16,640 that's too fast. That's that's you're really into the city at that point. Um, 551 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:21,359 so anyways, that's uh so hopefully this the county will work 552 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:25,359 with us on that. Um but in Main Street we just like I said 553 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:29,839 we reduce the speed a little bit because that's a heavy residential area and then 554 00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:34,960 of course this is you got a lot of people jaywalking across you know 555 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:42,119 downtown and you don't want people going really fast. You want people lower lower 556 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:42,119 their speeds there. So, um 557 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:49,040 that's >> Well, even the recommendation from 6:30 558 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:53,680 to a chestnut was 45 miles. >> Yes. Yes, it was. Yeah, that the Purdue 559 00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:59,280 or um the Purdue study that recommends us them reducing the speed and the the 560 00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:02,839 commissioners do have that report. >> Um so, 561 00:41:03,839 --> 00:41:10,560 » what do we got to do to annex the other side of the road? 562 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:13,920 We could if we want to get in a fight. >> I mean 563 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,880 » like why wouldn't they just say >> we could do that? 564 00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:20,000 » Why wouldn't it just I mean it's not like they're plowing into Malt Pillar on 565 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,520 that road, are they? >> No, they're 566 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:28,640 » Well, it it sounds like they they already most people already reduced 567 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:33,200 their speed. It sounds the the the um actually it's only 40 miles an hour on 568 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:42,400 the other side. So it's 55 going >> um in but 40 40 miles an hour going out. 569 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:45,280 And so up until um 6:30 I think. Um so I you know honestly just to be consistent 570 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,319 they should bring the other side 40 as well. 571 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,839 » Um >> are they afraid they're going to have to 572 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:57,119 pay for the sign? >> I don't think that's an issue over I I 573 00:41:54,640 --> 00:42:02,240 don't I don't know the I >> I'm don't know. I don't I don't know. 574 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:06,160 But I I'm hoping they'll eventually they'll come to ter. I mean that that 575 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:10,560 just makes sense if we're but I guess we haven't approved this yet. So is there 576 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:13,920 any thoughts or comments on changing to 25 at Chestnut? 577 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,359 » I think it's a good idea. >> Yeah. Um so okay, do you want to make a 578 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,880 motion? >> I'll make a motion. 579 00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:26,800 » John motion >> for ordinance 25 or 2025- or no 2025-09. 580 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,760 » Okay. All right. All right. And Travis, did you second? Okay. Travis seconds. 581 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:33,839 All in favor say I. >> I opposed. 582 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:36,839 » Okay. Very good. All right. Very good. Yes. 583 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:45,760 » And I have one last thing if the mayor doesn't mind. 584 00:42:41,359 --> 00:42:51,599 Um I received a contract today for B Barnes and Thornberg which is for Kim 585 00:42:48,319 --> 00:42:56,720 Glenshhat to be the bond council. And I would like to propose that the 586 00:42:53,359 --> 00:43:03,839 mayor have authorization to sign anything that goes with the GEO bond or 587 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:08,079 general obligations bond. Guess that streamlines it. 588 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:14,000 » I mean, I think it's going to be around 30,000. 589 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:18,960 The last do bond was like 2829 and Jim Hickens was like 10. 590 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:23,160 And this this states that they will only charge for the work they do. 591 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,280 So, 592 00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:30,839 any objection? 593 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:38,640 What was that for again? >> There's so sign the the geo bond stuff. 594 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:42,960 » We we've approved the group ordinance. We've approved the additional 595 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:47,839 appropriation. There may be more things for the mayor to sign like when they 596 00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:53,880 sell the bonds. So, I'm just asking for your permission 597 00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:53,880 to let him sign. 598 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,319 » Gary motion. >> It won't exceed anything we've talked 599 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,880 about. >> I'll second. seconds. All in favor say 600 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:06,640 I. >> I opposed. 601 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:12,640 » Okay. Okay. Well, that's that is the end of our agenda. Um any anything else 602 00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:17,280 wants to talk about ordinance? >> Okay. Um Okay. Take a motion to approve 603 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:22,319 or pro motion to >> make a motion we adjourn. 604 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:26,880 » Okay. Okay. Motions. Have a second. 40 seconds. All in favor say I. I. Thank 605 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,839 you. Okay.
