Uh well, the Congress has moved 114 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,880 forward with that. So, there is no real 115 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,960 plan as for the state of Minnesota to go 116 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,160 against any of that. In fact, last week 117 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,400 um there was a vote and it did pass. So, 118 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,120 um here in November, there is another 119 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,240 election or not election, sorry, scratch 120 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,720 that. another vote in regards to this 121 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,360 stuff on the 12th, but it got moved to 122 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,919 December 11th to get a little more time. 123 00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:06,880 Um, but already we have the League of 124 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,199 Minnesota Cities is no longer insuring 125 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:12,080 anyone that is selling cannabis stuff. 126 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,960 So, um, bottom line is this.

I believe our insurance 129 00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:23,680 will continue to ensure us. However, any 130 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,680 municipality will need to really take a 131 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,520 look because all the insurance is going 132 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,360 to take a 133 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,919 really hike.

So on my where I live 522 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,200 the neighbor down the way Mary 523 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,039 Sturgilles was a member for many many 524 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:13,120 years and down this way Pam Dangovich's 525 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:14,960 mother who passed away recently also was 526 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,440 a member on the ladies auxiliary there's 527 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,039 also men that are also veterans from 528 00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:23,440 whatever area they're from the army that 529 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,360 navy whatever they are but so we 530 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:28,640 encompass everything across the board so 531 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,960 this year I came down to when I was here 532 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,640 and I went to all the businesses one day 533 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,400 and I just said hey can you help support 534 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,919 us because we 535 00:23:35,919 --> 00:23:38,480 trying to make a goal of a $2,000 536 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,039 scholarship fund, which means two 537 00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:44,480 children, seniors, would be eligible for 538 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,679 $1,000 scholarship. We're at $1,500 539 00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:49,520 right now. And thank you very much to 540 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,480 Oak Lake who donated an ebike and I sold 541 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:59,200 all the tickets in two nights. And so we made um $1,500 well $1,000 there. And 542 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,200 then we also had a we call it sits 543 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,039 happen and a cart that was a bunch of 544 00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:06,799 donated different um wines and liquors 545 00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:08,640 and all that and we made 500 off of 546 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,559 that. So I came to the council and 547 00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:14,960 asking for $500 so that we can make our 548 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,600 $2,000 budget. The reason that it's 549 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,360 important right now for me is because I 550 00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:20,880 think right now we need to look at some 551 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,400 of the trades. We have given out 552 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,720 scholarships every single year, but 553 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,000 there hasn't been, as far as I know, 554 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,600 interest that or we haven't gotten any 555 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,440 interest from any other kids that are 556 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,960 looking at trade schools, which I think 557 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,760 is a good place to look right now. And 558 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,520 the reason it came really to a forefront 559 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,520 was I was in my house and all of a 560 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,840 sudden I heard this clash crang bang and 561 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,000 there was a four-wheeler that just some 562 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,159 kid was jumping all over and it he tried 563 00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:48,480 whatever he did, it blew up. And so I 564 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,720 ran out there and I said, "Um, look, 565 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,159 push it out of my driveway. I'll give 566 00:24:52,159 --> 00:24:53,919 you a ride to school. I'll give you my 567 00:24:53,919 --> 00:24:56,159 number and I'll give you a ride back and 568 00:24:56,159 --> 00:24:58,159 then we can talk about things." And 569 00:24:58,159 --> 00:24:59,919 here, come to find out, he has no 570 00:24:59,919 --> 00:25:01,679 interest in going to college, but he 571 00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:04,080 really wants to go to a trade school. As 572 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,000 well as his best friend, he said, "We 573 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,919 also need to speak with the Westerbergs 574 00:25:07,919 --> 00:25:10,159 because they're my best friend also 575 00:25:10,159 --> 00:25:12,320 wants to go to trade schools." And so I 576 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,840 brought that up with us again in the 577 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,279 meetings and I said, you know, maybe 578 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:17,600 that's our focus and I'd be happy to 579 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,840 present at the school as well. My 580 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,120 neighbor is a um now he's moved up, but 581 00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:24,799 he was the principal of ESCO. So I'm 582 00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:27,120 trying to make a big push at the schools 583 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,679 to make a big push for kids trade 584 00:25:29,679 --> 00:25:33,520 schools. I mean, we have a lot of, and 585 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,679 not to judge people by any means, female 586 00:25:35,679 --> 00:25:37,760 girls that are looking at college 587 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,919 scholarships, but like I said, we really 588 00:25:39,919 --> 00:25:42,960 want to make a push for trade schools. 589 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,640 You can decide whether they want to do, 590 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,240 but we're trying to make a big push for 591 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,600 that as well. So, um, like I said, I 592 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,240 visit all kinds of different businesses. 593 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,640 We actually had somebody that handm made 594 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,600 um some cornhole boards that were United 595 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,320 States the 250th and they were eagles on 596 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,240 them and it was beautiful. So I went to 597 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,760 Dick Sporting Goods and I said, "Hey, 598 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,600 look, we got these donated. What can you 599 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,679 help me with anything that'll go with it 600 00:26:07,679 --> 00:26:09,520 and they gave me stars and stripes bean 601 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,840 bags and we sold those boards and made a 602 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,679 good I mean it's a it's a good thing for 603 00:26:13,679 --> 00:26:16,320 the community. Nothing stays with us. I 604 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,960 have a letter here that shows we have 605 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,720 many different things that we've 606 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,240 participate in. And one of the things 607 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,320 that I was going to point out too is we 608 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,960 have a big Christmas fund that we do at 609 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,440 Christmas. All the regions always 610 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,840 participate. Everything is donated. The 611 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,760 food is all donated. Um, Judge Dale Wolf 612 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,080 donated two bikes and we had a ton of 613 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,720 kids that came to that and we had a ton 614 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,799 of stuff left over. And always what we 615 00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:45,279 do, most always with the exception of 616 00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:47,279 this time, is donate it back to the food 617 00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:49,440 shelf. And so I tried to find I called 618 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,679 everybody I knew, nobody would answer 619 00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:53,840 their phone. And so I had a ton of toys 620 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,600 in the back of my truck as well as three 621 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,159 boxes of food and ended up going to 622 00:26:58,159 --> 00:26:59,760 Madawa because that's the only person I 623 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,120 could find that answered their phone and 624 00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:02,159 they were going to use it for their 625 00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:04,320 church function. But we do a lot of 626 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,000 fundraising as far as that is concerned, 627 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,679 too. So we do support um scholarships. 628 00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:13,039 We do the um holiday support, community 629 00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:15,039 focused fundraising, um several 630 00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:16,640 fundraisers throughout the year. We do 631 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,559 poppy sales and all that money goes back 632 00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:21,200 to the relief fund, small raffles, and 633 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,000 mystery box raffles. And so we support 634 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,679 not only um the scholarship fund, but we 635 00:27:27,679 --> 00:27:30,400 also have funds that support um 636 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,480 families. And this year was especially 637 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,840 because of all the stuff that was going 638 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,559 on overseas supporting them as well, 639 00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:38,960 trying to figure out who needed help 640 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,200 paying rent, who needed help, food, who 641 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,960 needed help with children. And so all 642 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,799 the money goes out. We find the most um 643 00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:49,039 valuable places that these places, the 644 00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:52,080 people can use it. So that's what we do. 645 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,600 And if you have any questions, I'd be 646 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,960 happy to answer them. 647 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,799 >> Any questions? 648 00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:57,200 >> Yes. 649 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,600 >> On scholarships, how many how long have 650 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,720 you been doing that? 651 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,760 >> Oh, since I've joined 30 years ago. 652 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,919 >> And how many local ones have been like, 653 00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:07,440 you know, 654 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,200 >> I don't off the top of my head, I don't 655 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,480 know, and I don't have it in my notes, 656 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,480 but I'm going to say probably not a lot 657 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,120 only because we don't have much of uh 658 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:16,240 awareness down here. 659 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,240 >> Sure.

I got a couple of updates for 706 00:30:08,159 --> 00:30:10,159 this. I really don't want it to get 707 00:30:10,159 --> 00:30:12,559 confusing. So 708 00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:14,320 David will probably go over what we have 709 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,799 in the local sales tax fund right now. I 710 00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:18,399 don't want those figures to be confused 711 00:30:18,399 --> 00:30:21,279 with what I'm going to explain here. So 712 00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:24,000 currently the city has received 713 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,630 2,368,35891 714 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,159 in local sales tax revenue. Okay. based 715 00:30:32,159 --> 00:30:35,200 on that and what we average every month 716 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,960 and there's seasonality in there. Some 717 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,399 months are higher, some months are 718 00:30:38,399 --> 00:30:42,480 lower. At some point in probably late 719 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,120 summer, early fall of 2028 is when we're 720 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,159 going to hit that $3 million mark. So, 721 00:30:48,159 --> 00:30:50,640 that's important because all of this is 722 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,520 timing of when we need to get it to the 723 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,919 capital and get approval there and then 724 00:30:55,919 --> 00:30:57,520 come back. It needs to be held at a 725 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,840 general election for the public to vote 726 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,679 on it, that kind of stuff. 727 00:31:01,679 --> 00:31:03,919 Um, so those are the figures for you now 728 00:31:03,919 --> 00:31:06,640 so you have an idea kind of what what 729 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,919 timeline we're working with here. Um, 730 00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:12,799 furthermore, another key thing that I 731 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:16,240 would point out is that the local sales 732 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,360 tax committee uh is going to have quite 733 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,080 a bit of turnover here at the next in 734 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,120 November. There are the entire GOP panel 735 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,240 is retiring and then the head of the 736 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,960 local sales tax division is retiring. So 737 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,279 there's several key people that are 738 00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:36,559 retiring or in tight races. So in 739 00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:38,640 November, and why I'm that's I'm 740 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,399 bringing that up and why it's important 741 00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:45,039 is because there is the potential that 742 00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:48,480 street projects may be a thing here come 743 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,640 after November's election. So we just 744 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,279 don't know. So just providing that 745 00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:54,960 information, something for you to think 746 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,760 about. Um in the meantime, we have moved 747 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,600 forward with SE. They've talked with 748 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,120 people. We've had meetings about the 749 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,240 campground ex project and the city park 750 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,640 project. Um so those are moving forward. 751 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,240 They're working with their lobbyists, 752 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,320 things like that who are talking to the 753 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,840 same people we were talking to the 754 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,080 League of Minnesota cities and stuff. Um 755 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,720 but the League of Minnesota cities could 756 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,799 look drastically different here 757 00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:21,360 November. So just throwing out my 758 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,750 reporting Chris. 759 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,240 » Do you have any questions about what I 760 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,559 put forward? or Alyssa, do you have 761 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:32,080 anything further? 762 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,600 >> Yeah, I just think it's important to 763 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,000 reiterate Brian's done a fantastic job 764 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,080 of tracking this and and and providing 765 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,600 information as we go. And we're going to 766 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,519 have to be able to be flexible with our 767 00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,200 plan. So, what we've talked about 768 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,440 internally and with the engineers is a 769 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,399 dual approach. So, making sure that we 770 00:32:48,399 --> 00:32:53,360 have um uh project estimates for a 771 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,919 lakefront recreational development 772 00:32:55,919 --> 00:32:58,159 update, so to speak, with the park at 773 00:32:58,159 --> 00:33:00,640 the campground. And that we also are are 774 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,799 flexible enough to be able to pivot if 775 00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:04,720 streets and infrastructure is something 776 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,360 that that um can be authorized again um 777 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,760 through local sales tax. So we are going 778 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,600 to have to put some extra energy in to 779 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,159 make sure that you know come the end of 780 00:33:16,159 --> 00:33:18,640 the year and when we're looking at 781 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,480 establishing a resolution to bring 782 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,640 forward to the legislature that that we 783 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,640 have all things considered. So there'll 784 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,399 probably be some heavy engagement from 785 00:33:26,399 --> 00:33:28,240 council between now and then in order to 786 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,159 make sure that we're able to accomplish 787 00:33:30,159 --> 00:33:32,880 that. But we're going to continue on 788 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,240 both paths currently um so that uh we 789 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,760 can be fluent with the situation as 790 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,360 changes arise. 791 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,880 >> Yeah. One other thing I guess I would 792 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,840 note is that why the timing of this, 793 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,399 it's great that we're mapping it out, is 794 00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:48,880 because if we hit the $3 million mark 795 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,679 and let's say we decide to wait to see 796 00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:54,000 what all is going to happen, we kind of 797 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,480 are going to have to decide because at 798 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,559 the end of $3 million, if we don't have 799 00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:01,440 something that's passed and passed here, 800 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,159 then we have to have a pause for one 801 00:34:04,159 --> 00:34:08,399 full year of not taking local sales tax. 802 00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:10,480 So it's important that we get something 803 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,520 passed so we can have a continuation of 804 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,919 receiving those funds. So just making 805 00:34:15,919 --> 00:34:18,000 that crystal clear. Yeah. 806 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,320 >> Isn't the first thing the resolution? 807 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,960 >> Yes. So we should be that first thing 808 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:23,760 27. 809 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,200 >> Yes. 810 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,320 >> Thank you. 811 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,000 >> Any other questions or comments? 812 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,159 >> When did you say we would be hitting the 813 00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:33,440 three 3 million mark? 814 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,760 >> I'm going to say fall of 2028. 815 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,359 >> Fall somewhere in there. Yep. 816 00:34:37,359 --> 00:34:38,960 >> Yeah. And that's when they would be 817 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,760 voting on that down in St. Paul if they 818 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:42,879 have to change things. 819 00:34:42,879 --> 00:34:45,040 >> Nope. We'll get that done well in 820 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,839 advance of that that part. Okay. 821 00:34:47,839 --> 00:34:50,000 >> So, we could receive legislative 822 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,440 approval potentially in 27. Um, but then 823 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,040 there is a requirement that it goes out 824 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,280 for referendum even even as a 825 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,800 reauthorization. 826 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,400 >> That would be in 28. 827 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,440 >> So, the general election is in 2028. 828 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,520 What's happening at the legislature is 829 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,480 that there were no sales tax uh projects 830 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,880 were approved in 2026. So, there's a lot 831 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,880 of unhappy entities right now. Um and 832 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,800 there's going to be a push in 27. And 833 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,200 because none were approved in 2026, the 834 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,800 lobbyists are informing us that there's 835 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,560 the potential that we could request a 836 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,040 special election in order to get our 837 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,680 referendum in front of the community. 838 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,520 Um, and you know, there's different 839 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,520 procedures and processes in play that 840 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,760 could um, potentially narrow that 841 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,560 window. Um, it may be that we utilize 842 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,440 the general election in 2028 and that 843 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,760 you can request an extension in the 844 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,839 interimm so we would continue to collect 845 00:35:45,839 --> 00:35:48,560 in 28 once we run out and when we go for 846 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,440 out for referendum. Um so there's a lot 847 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,040 of different mechanisms in place and 848 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,520 we're working with all relevant parties 849 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,079 to try and um you know step through this 850 00:35:58,079 --> 00:35:59,680 as best we can. 851 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:00,800 >> Thank you. 852 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,960 >> My goal and recommendation would be 853 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,520 because we have a couple of options 854 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,480 geared and ready by November's elections 855 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,720 so we can get something we have to get 856 00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:14,640 it down there before January 31st um in 857 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,560 order to get it passed down there. So 858 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,640 resolution. 859 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,160 So that's the date. 860 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,800 >> Any other questions, comments? 861 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,359 Thank you. 862 00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:28,480 >> I'm up again. 863 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,920 >> Yes. 864 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,720 >> Old school baseball field discussion. 865 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:35,680 >> All right. So, as you recall, 866 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,000 um we talked about drafting uh some 867 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,160 lease agreements with the Muslake Buzz. 868 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,720 We also looked at the home run club. Uh 869 00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:46,560 met with both entities. They've already 870 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,640 seen these. Um, they agreed to it. They 871 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,119 say they look great. I highlighted just 872 00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:54,560 a couple of things on the home run club. 873 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,720 Um, so we're just aligning the dates 874 00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:00,640 with the buzz. Um, it is okay for us as 875 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,400 long as the buzz agreed to prorrate 876 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,640 their dates. So, because their their 877 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,480 season technically has ended already, 878 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,079 but we want to get them on the same 879 00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:10,800 schedule as the school district and the 880 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,960 home run club, we had to prorate their 881 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,240 dates. So, you're going to see that 882 00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:16,880 they've already happened. Um, does that 883 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,800 make sense to everybody on the buzz 884 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,040 agreement? Um, and then on the buzz 885 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,280 agreement, three, four, and five are 886 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,040 kind of the ones that are new and 887 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,839 different from the home run club lease 888 00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:32,320 agreement. So, it talks about who gets 889 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,640 priority use of the field, if they ever 890 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,640 start selling concessions and doing 891 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,280 admission charges. Um, those are items 892 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,400 that I found in quite a few other lease 893 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,480 agreements with semi-pro baseball teams 894 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,320 that use city 895 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,079 say uh ball fields. So threw those in 896 00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:51,920 there just in case that starts to happen 897 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,839 down the road with them and they want to 898 00:37:53,839 --> 00:37:56,480 start selling stuff. 899 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,599 Um other than that in the home run club 900 00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:02,560 on number seven, we changed the sub 901 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,160 lease so they really won't be able to 902 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,359 again like be able to sub lease on field 903 00:38:09,359 --> 00:38:12,720 or like a minor league team to come in 904 00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:14,960 and start doing stuff. It's just a 905 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,440 one-off type event in so we would prefer 906 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,280 if entities want to do that they come 907 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,000 and talk to us and go under a contractor 908 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,839 agreement like this.

If we 1081 00:45:50,319 --> 00:45:52,000 issue a material weakness, those are the 1082 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,680 ones where we say you need to take 1083 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,000 action to correct it. uh happy to say 1084 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,400 all the findings that we issued for 2025 1085 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,119 are just considered deficiencies that uh 1086 00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:03,200 things that could be improved upon, but 1087 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,760 overall um think they're not in bad 1088 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,599 shape. So doing a good job. Um and and 1089 00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:11,839 pretty much for a city your size, these 1090 00:46:11,839 --> 00:46:14,000 are pretty standard findings. So really 1091 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,440 nothing out of the ordinary on that. So, 1092 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,400 uh, another handout I have for you, a 1093 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,400 report that we're required to give to 1094 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,720 council is the one that's called 1095 00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:26,800 required communication to those charged 1096 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,440 with governance. Uh, this report is 1097 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,200 pretty standard. There's really no out 1098 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,440 of the ordinary things uh, in that 1099 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,839 report this year. Uh, no new accounting 1100 00:46:35,839 --> 00:46:37,839 standards are adopted. We didn't have 1101 00:46:37,839 --> 00:46:40,240 any issues with any uh, staff or so 1102 00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:41,359 forth. So, everyone was very 1103 00:46:41,359 --> 00:46:43,440 cooperative. So, nothing out of the 1104 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,520 ordinary to report in that one either. 1105 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,200 And obviously, I encourage you to read 1106 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,920 through it if you'd like. 1107 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,960 And then, uh, I've got some graphs that 1108 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,359 just kind of show a snapshot of your 1109 00:46:55,359 --> 00:46:57,200 major funds, just kind of give you a 1110 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,000 history of the last four years just to 1111 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,280 kind of see what's happening with the 1112 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:02,800 funds. You know, you kind of want to 1113 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,640 know, are you going forward or backwards 1114 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,119 in terms of accumulating resources or 1115 00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:09,359 spending down. So, just kind of go over 1116 00:47:09,359 --> 00:47:12,720 those briefly. Uh the first one we're 1117 00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:14,880 looking at is a general fund. Uh one 1118 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,400 thing to note there, three out of the 1119 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,319 last four years the revenue exceeded 1120 00:47:18,319 --> 00:47:20,000 expenditures. So that's always a 1121 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,079 positive trend. And as you can see by 1122 00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:24,640 the green bar, the cash balance has been 1123 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,960 increasing every year. Uh and mainly you 1124 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,720 haven't done any significant projects 1125 00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:30,560 and so you have been accumulating some 1126 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,200 money in your sales tax fund. Uh and you 1127 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,680 ended the year at 1.56 million that's 1128 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,240 set aside in that fund for future 1129 00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:41,520 projects. So, so if you look at the the 1130 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,920 overall cash balance of 3.5, so roughly 1131 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,119 40% of it's earmarked specific to the 1132 00:47:47,119 --> 00:47:52,150 sales tax tech projects. 1133 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,000 On the second graph, looking at the 1134 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,400 water fund, uh, one positive trend there 1135 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,160 too, you can see is the cash has been 1136 00:47:58,160 --> 00:47:59,920 increasing every year. You know, your 1137 00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:01,760 operating expenses have been pretty 1138 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,480 steady. Uh, revenue has been going up 1139 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,960 slightly every year. And so overall, you 1140 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:11,040 ended the year at 9 966 or 963,000 in 1141 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,319 cash compared to 762. So, uh, very 1142 00:48:14,319 --> 00:48:17,440 positive trend there, too. Uh, and no 1143 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,760 real issues that I noted on expenditures 1144 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,200 on the revenue side. So, everything 1145 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,480 looks good on that one. On the next one, 1146 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,640 we look at the sewer fund. Uh, sewer 1147 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,440 fund, as you can see, in 2025, uh, 1148 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,520 revenue exceeded expenditures for the 1149 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,599 first time in the last four years. you 1150 00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:36,960 did implement a new base rate and so 1151 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,440 your revenue did increase significantly 1152 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,520 and it really did just go to the bottom 1153 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,359 line. You know, your your operating 1154 00:48:43,359 --> 00:48:45,520 expenses are pretty steady in the last 1155 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,000 few years. So So that fund is on a good 1156 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,079 projection, too. So no real issues noted 1157 00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:51,359 on that one. 1158 00:48:51,359 --> 00:48:53,440 >> Well done. That is so exciting. I wish 1159 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,640 Bill was here. 1160 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,920 Uh, and you know, of course there's, you know, that fund has debt, 1161 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,599 but you know, I think you've got a 1162 00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:03,280 couple bonds that'll be paid off in the 1163 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,119 next 5 years. So, I mean, that's a a 1164 00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:07,280 good thing, too, on that one. So, and 1165 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:08,640 then the last one we're looking at is 1166 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,520 just the uh the liquor store. Uh, again, 1167 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,359 another positive trend on the liquor 1168 00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:15,520 store. You you you can see the cash 1169 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,680 balance has been increasing every year. 1170 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,119 You know, your sales have been pretty 1171 00:49:19,119 --> 00:49:21,520 stable and your gross profit has been 1172 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,319 pretty decent. So you in 2025 gross 1173 00:49:24,319 --> 00:49:26,640 profit was at 36%. 1174 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,760 Uh the statewide average for onoff sale 1175 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,839 liquor stores is 40%. So you're right 1176 00:49:31,839 --> 00:49:34,160 about where where everyone else is too. 1177 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,480 So real no real issues on that side of 1178 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,160 things. So um so overall again good 1179 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,359 strong cash balance on hand. Um I know 1180 00:49:43,359 --> 00:49:44,960 there's probably some projects that the 1181 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,480 liquor store probably needs at some 1182 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,559 point. Obviously building doesn't seem 1183 00:49:48,559 --> 00:49:50,319 like there's been any major things done 1184 00:49:50,319 --> 00:49:52,079 to the building for a while, but that's 1185 00:49:52,079 --> 00:49:54,160 one thing that always can take up a 1186 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,040 little bit of cash. So, 1187 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,960 uh, otherwise, the black booklet is a 1188 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,480 complete set of financial statements for 1189 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:01,839 you.

So as a highle overview, we 1218 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,440 included $60,000 in the 2026 budget to 1219 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,920 do a few upgrades to city hall. City 1220 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,640 Hall, I believe, was built in 1996 and 1221 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,240 there have been very few upgrades since 1222 00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:39,520 then. We're just kind of looking to get 1223 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:43,680 the space back up to par. As I mean, you 1224 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,680 can see there's, you know, stains and 1225 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,400 stuff all over. So, um, just looking to 1226 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,000 have a clean and professional space to 1227 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,079 conduct meetings. We have completed 1228 00:51:54,079 --> 00:51:56,000 almost everything in the conference 1229 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,640 room. Uh, it's looking fantastic. I'm 1230 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,400 very happy with it. I hope you guys are, 1231 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,240 too. The last thing that we have to do 1232 00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:06,079 in there is carpet. Um the CIP came in 1233 00:52:06,079 --> 00:52:08,800 and did painting was it last week or the 1234 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,000 week before. They did a phenomenal job. 1235 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,280 Um and so we actually reached out to 1236 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,760 them after noting their phenomenal job 1237 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,040 in the conference room and asked if they 1238 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:20,880 would be willing to come back and do the 1239 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,040 remainder of our projects and they said 1240 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,440 that they will. So that will save the 1241 00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,599 city a considerable amount of money on 1242 00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:29,359 labor for painting. we will just be 1243 00:52:29,359 --> 00:52:33,280 responsible for purchasing the paint. 1244 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:37,040 In addition to that, it was called out 1245 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:41,920 that we don't have enough professional 1246 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,480 office chairs in the council chambers to 1247 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,280 accommodate larger meetings. So, I got 1248 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,520 quotes for chairs that will match the 1249 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:50,960 ones you're sitting in right now, so 1250 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,480 that when we have larger meetings with 1251 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,640 other boards or commissions or whatever, 1252 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,599 um, we're not sticking them in the in 1253 00:52:57,599 --> 00:53:01,599 the hard chairs in the back. Um, let's 1254 00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:07,200 see. I lost it. In addition to the 1255 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,680 office chairs, we looked at replacing 1256 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,960 the tables in here. These ones are kind 1257 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,200 of mismatched and a little beat up. They 1258 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,400 also don't move very well. And the 1259 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,319 nature of this room, we use it for so 1260 00:53:20,319 --> 00:53:22,880 many different uses. It would be very 1261 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,200 convenient and easier on our floor and 1262 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:26,800 the tables themselves to have some 1263 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,880 rolling ones. We changed the layout of 1264 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,599 this room very frequently. So, we found 1265 00:53:31,599 --> 00:53:34,880 some rolling tables that fold up and 1266 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,640 kind of get tucked away if we ever need 1267 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,800 to have more space. And then we counted 1268 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,960 how many of these red chairs we have in 1269 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,440 here. There's about 20 on that side, 20 1270 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,200 on this side on any given day. So 1271 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:51,119 estimated for about 40 um 1272 00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:52,640 I what would you call those? Event 1273 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,960 chairs. Not sure. Um so estimated for 1274 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,480 those as well. Um 1275 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,559 I think that's it for the council 1276 00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:06,000 chambers. Carpet, paint, tables, chairs. 1277 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,839 There's another word. Blinds. 1278 00:54:07,839 --> 00:54:10,720 >> Oh yes, blinds. Um so I have quotes for 1279 00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:13,839 blinds as well. looking to go a neutral 1280 00:54:13,839 --> 00:54:17,280 color. Um, a bunch of these are broken. 1281 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,000 Um, so came down here and measured what 1282 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,480 we would need. I think it's two 6ft 1283 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,000 sections and then two 8ft sections I 1284 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,680 think is what it is. Um, and then as far 1285 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,160 as the city offices, just looking for 1286 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,160 new paint and carpet up there as well. 1287 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,599 The walls have been beat up over the 1288 00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:40,800 past there's holes everywhere. So, um, 1289 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,000 yeah. So, just looking for that up 1290 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:49,599 there. So, I think I hit all of the 1291 00:54:49,599 --> 00:54:53,670 products here. 1292 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,280 There's This one's this way. This one's 1293 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,480 this way.

They're about 1297 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:11,119 300 bucks a piece. Um, so to get four of 1298 00:55:11,119 --> 00:55:13,200 them, I think we have six right now. 1 2 1299 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,760 3 4 5 six.

Taylor's 1365 00:58:08,559 --> 00:58:10,559 put a ton of time and energy into this. 1366 00:58:10,559 --> 00:58:12,240 Uh we love the fact that it's under 1367 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,040 budget and utilizing CIP has enabled us 1368 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,240 to be able to do that. Um, so trying to 1369 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,160 do this as effectively as we possibly 1370 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,000 can and appropriately as we possibly 1371 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:22,480 can. 1372 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,400 >> Another question that I had.

However, I did want to 1375 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,520 present um, accurate figures as to the 1376 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,160 price discrepancy from going through Ace 1377 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,559 Hardware for paint versus somewhere like 1378 00:58:40,559 --> 00:58:43,359 Menard's. Um, it is quite a bit more 1379 00:58:43,359 --> 00:58:45,440 expensive, but um, I do understand the 1380 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,520 value of shopping local as well. So, we 1381 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,520 did go with Ace for the conference room. 1382 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:50,799 That was a smaller room. We only went 1383 00:58:50,799 --> 00:58:52,240 through about a gallon and a half. 1384 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,000 However, we're going to go through 1385 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,040 probably a lot more for these bigger 1386 00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,359 spaces in the hallway. So, um, will to 1387 00:59:01,359 --> 00:59:03,040 go with what your recommendation is for 1388 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,480 where to purchase paint as well. 1389 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,870 >> Any other questions? 1390 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,599 Do we have want to have a are we going 1391 00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:15,760 to have a working meeting with uh the 1392 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,440 budget coming up this month and maybe 1393 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,440 discuss this in more detail so we can 1394 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,040 see some of the sample not just make a 1395 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:22,160 decision 1396 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:23,680 >> that's going to impact people for the 1397 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,839 next 20 years 1398 00:59:25,839 --> 00:59:27,520 30 or 40 1399 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,359 >> it was 90 something 1400 00:59:29,359 --> 00:59:33,510 >> that would be 30 1401 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,160 » I've got the carpet sample books up in 1402 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:37,920 the office 1403 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,440 um and then um I can bring and paint 1404 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,040 samples as well.

So, we're looking to do 1425 01:00:42,079 --> 01:00:43,760 carpet kind of around the holidays when 1426 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,960 it would be the least disruptive to the 1427 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,640 office. Um, and then any products, 1428 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,280 chairs, tables, or whatever, um, can 1429 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:54,960 just be purchased any time before the 1430 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,599 end of the year. So, um, painting is the 1431 01:00:57,599 --> 01:00:58,799 only thing that we're on a time frame 1432 01:00:58,799 --> 01:01:03,280 for, and that would be November 2nd. 1433 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,520 >> Thank you. 1434 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:06,880 Wait, am I next?

We added the digital sign and 1441 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,440 have now partnered with First National 1442 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:31,040 Bank. Um, the idea was to upgrade the 1443 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:34,160 seafoam green trim and doors to the 1444 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,799 First National Bank blue. We got two 1445 01:01:36,799 --> 01:01:38,559 quotes. One was significantly higher 1446 01:01:38,559 --> 01:01:41,599 than the other. Um, 1447 01:01:41,599 --> 01:01:45,359 Steinbacher painting came in at 20,500. 1448 01:01:45,359 --> 01:01:48,000 I also included a communication in there 1449 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,680 um that when I asked him about how long 1450 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,400 it should last, uh, there' be a one-year 1451 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,240 warranty.

So, um, looking to see if 1457 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,839 council still has the appetite to do 1458 01:02:09,839 --> 01:02:13,200 that faceelift and I would recommend the 1459 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:17,920 quote from Stein cracker painting. 1460 01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,599 >> Any questions? 1461 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:22,000 >> How about CIP painting? 1462 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,520 >> What would they charge?
