1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,280
indivisible with liberty and justice for
all.

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:16,000
» Back on here
has got a little something he want to

3
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:19,760
share with us about the
uh

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:26,480
it's uh I mentioned it to you guys a
couple months ago about the uh

5
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:30,480
new water uh leader system.
So Cameron Okay.

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,559
» Okay. So you guys can take a look at
that as well.

7
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:41,200
» Yeah. Uh, hi there. My name is Cameron.
I'm with Metron here out of uh, Boulder,

8
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:45,280
Colorado. Um, I had actually give Joe a
call a couple months ago. I don't know

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,120
where to like stay.
Um, I gave a call a couple months ago

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,640
just to come by just to see what your
guys' meter system looked like. Um, so

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:57,680
we sat down for about 20 minutes and I
just kind of went over um, our software,

12
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,000
our meters and kind of what we do. So um
Metron car has been around for 30 plus

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,080
years. Um what we do is we have cellular
water meters. So very very similar to

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,920
what Badger uh does. The difference
between our meters and anyone else in

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:16,479
the market is we provide one minute
data. So you get 1440 reads per day

16
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,479
that's sent directly to uh water scope
which is and this was the platform and

17
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:24,240
software I wanted to show you. I wish I
was able to throw it up on there but I

18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,840
did not come.
Um, some of the customers that we

19
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:32,720
currently service here in Indiana are
Campbellburg, Scottsburg, uh, city of

20
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:38,240
Bristol. I also talking with obviously
you guys. Uh, I chatted with Reville

21
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:42,240
Water last week and as well as I went up
to Tiffan earlier this morning. Um,

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,720
what's nice about this is this will give
you a leak determination. So, it will

23
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,200
tell you all your previous reads from
the day before cuz our register kicks on

24
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,840
at midnight and gives you every read
from midnight to 11:59 p.m. Um, what's

25
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,840
really nice about that is this will
actually help with with increasing with

26
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,280
customer service. So, if you ever have
somebody call say, "Hey, we have an

27
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:08,239
issue with our meter or with our water
bill like it's too high." You're able to

28
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,760
give this software to your consumers so
they can actually see where that meter

29
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,480
where that actually occurred. So what's
nice about that is everyone here I'm

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,440
assuming has snowbirds. So like chopped
out in Florida cuz they don't want to be

31
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,920
here for the winter months. Sometimes
that bottom that basement um toilet gets

32
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,000
flushed and that flat valve gets stuck
and then that it just continues to run.

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,599
Right. This will give you an alert down
to the exact minute of when that

34
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,000
actually happens. Um and like I said
what's nice about that is battery life

35
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,319
on here is 23 years. Um we have a
warranty on it for uh 20. It's prorated

36
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,720
after 10 years and it goes through
Verizon AT&T. Um, and then if you guys

37
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,120
have any trouble spots for some of their
service, we have easy fixes for that as

38
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,040
well. Now, on the meter itself, which
comes with our register, that's nice.

39
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:58,239
But if you guys also just want the water
scope data, we can retrofit 95% of our

40
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,519
registers on to what you guys are using
now. And I think you mentioned is a

41
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:08,720
census or two.
>> Nebu. Um the other thing too uh the old

42
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:12,640
CEO of Census is actually on our board
because when he left Census he firmly

43
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,599
believed that we are eventually going to
be the top market and I think that that

44
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:22,800
speaks volumes for just who we are. So
that's all I got for you.

45
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:28,599
» Any questions answer
and you're talking about this register

46
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:28,599
right here comes off.

47
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:38,640
» Yep. And what's nice too is not only do
you get um the meter or register, you

48
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:42,879
get uh 10 years of Verizon or AT&T
service plan that goes on top of that so

49
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:47,519
that you're not paying Verizon or AT&T
separately cuz and that's why we that's

50
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:51,760
the reason we're really good is we deal
with them so it doesn't make your guys

51
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,040
bill overly expensive and the software
doesn't come with any cost you

52
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,799
» everything comes with the price of the
meter. Yep. We're not going to charge

53
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,200
you guys a service fee annually. We are
not going to say, "Oh, by the way, you

54
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:06,879
have to pay X amount." Is here's a
meter, here's a register, that's what

55
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:10,400
the cost is. And what's nice, too, is
once they're in the ground, it's

56
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,159
installed today, read tomorrow. So, if
we were to put this on any of your guys'

57
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,440
houses, we would get a read, right? If
everything got installed right now at

58
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:21,720
6:00, we'd have read from 6:00 p.m. to
midnight and then it just continues.

59
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,040
So
without look at that like is there any

60
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:33,840
apps or future apps?
>> Yep. So we actually are working on our

61
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:36,800
water scope and utility app too. Um we
have the number one just came out right

62
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,240
now but you can actually have that as
well. So if Joe's out like looking at

63
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,240
it, he can have all that access right on
his phone. And same thing for the

64
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,240
consumer as well.

65
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:56,160
» I'd love to ask a question. Sure.
So, we're looking at a lot of houses go

66
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:59,759
out community in 10 years. That'd be one
hell of an excessive bill on cell

67
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:03,360
phones.
Is there a way to transfer this over to

68
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:10,160
something better? Is there a better deal
with Verizon or AT&T where this is not

69
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,120
where we're paying $60 per meter? That
that is a ridiculous.

70
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,560
» Oh, that's outrageous. Absolutely. Yeah.
you would go back for us, have it react

71
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,160
up for us because then we can get that
plan back on once you date you're about

72
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,440
10 years in one day.
>> So 10 years we're hoping you guys are

73
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,240
still going to be around us or you can
keep going.

74
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,160
» Yep.
>> Yep.

75
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:34,400
» So when those meters freeze
>> um there they can as anything can once

76
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,759
you get below 32 degrees. We do have
meter jacks as well. Um but the other

77
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:40,880
thing with the water scope is it
actually tells you the temperature of

78
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,440
the meter in of itself. So if you feel
like you're going to have any one that's

79
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,800
going to freeze you're going to be
trouble, you can actually get ahead of

80
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:54,720
the game by looking on water scope and
then taking action that way.

81
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:58,560
» So you can't replace the bottom of me.
>> You can't push the bottom of the meters

82
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,240
up chest. You can flip it over and take
four bolts out,

83
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:06,240
» pull the cap off of it and put it on.
>> Yeah. With with this, if you have meter

84
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:08,400
freeze, send it back to us. So we need a
warranty still.

85
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:13,600
» So we're sending back to Boulder
Colorado.

86
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:17,280
And you're looking at four to six weeks.
>> Uh 3 to four weeks as of right now. Um

87
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:22,080
if it's anything like that, I'm out here
every two weeks traveling the entire

88
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:27,039
state of Indiana. Um I dropped off 20
pitbound antennas to this morning. So I

89
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:30,800
don't mind hand delivering it if I
absolutely need to. If I can put it in

90
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:34,319
my check bag, I'll bring it to you. But
yes, three or four most of the time.

91
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:39,199
» Do you recommend that a certain number
be stock replacements? So that's really

92
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,720
up to you guys and how you guys want to
do that. I would always recommend having

93
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:48,080
a couple extra on hand just in case
because it's better to have it and need

94
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:51,919
it than need it and not have it.
>> When we got units that are not being

95
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:57,199
used, can they can the sell services be
put on hold or not being charged for it?

96
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:03,039
» See the problem is with holding meters
in a box and the meter if it's 2025 the

97
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,520
meter can be used at 2128. That meter's
2 years old. So you've already lost two

98
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,919
years your warranty. You don't really
want a whole bunch of

99
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:17,319
» Yeah, I would say 20 maybe a box four
table maximum like and if you're having

100
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,319
that while we wouldn't be in business.

101
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:24,720
» Any other questions I can answer for you
guys?

102
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,160
» Do do we have a number of communities
that we could reach out to and ask how

103
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,520
this perform you have these installed?
>> Yeah, absolutely.

104
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,319
» For how many years now? Um, I believe
that a couple of us, uh, Togo Lake has

105
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:39,680
been on board with us since 2021. Um,
I'd have to go back back through and

106
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,039
look. I think a couple of my customers
have been with us since 2019. And I'll

107
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,639
be very honest with you, I started with
the company just in April of this year,

108
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,720
but I my dad works in Waterworks for
Corn Main. So, my joke is like I've been

109
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,319
around the water business since I was
six.

110
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,960
» So,
>> yeah. I mean, hearing how they're

111
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:03,360
performing in installations, we've been
there several years, but

112
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:08,240
Yeah, I can get references through Lake,
Campbellburg, Scatsburg, Gibson Water,

113
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:12,000
Pat Gibson, uh, Water Authority, uh,
Bristol as well. Um, and then obviously

114
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,520
Connorsville right now they're doing a
pilot with us. So they just got 10

115
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:18,800
meters in the ground this week and then
I'm going to follow up in 30 60 90 days

116
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,840
just to see how the beers are performing
and what they want to do from there.

117
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:29,440
» Do you have a demo program where you
where we can test out?

118
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:35,200
» Um, potentially. Yeah. So, what I was
telling Joe is look at doing a pilot

119
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:39,519
program. So, 10 m or a box a box is 20
and we'll do a year of sell service on

120
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:44,880
those so you guys can try them out. And
what I do is I knock the cost down from

121
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:48,560
our normal 395. I quoted Joe 380 on
them. But if you guys wanted to try the

122
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,760
pilot out, I could do $300 for it with a
year of service. And then again, same

123
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,800
thing follow up from there. That's what
Conorville is doing right now.

124
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,839
All right. Any additional questions?
Awesome. Well, I just really appreciate

125
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,920
you guys' time. Thanks for letting me
present. Thank you. Thank you.

126
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:26,880
» All right. Some new towns hall. Well,
they started today. Did they?

127
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:36,080
» Yeah, they started doing the concrete
work today. And uh let's see. There was

128
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:40,720
a couple things on there. Uh the
additional table.

129
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:45,279
Uh I think it probably be a good time if
we're going to do that to add it in

130
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:52,320
before we get too much further. You
know, they want usual

131
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,839
cost.
But are you talking about that being a

132
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,000
part of this contract or just a separate
contract? It's going to be a separate at

133
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:03,839
the same time.
>> Yeah, but at the same time extra so to

134
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,839
speak. I think the price was quoted was
$17,200

135
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:14,680
for that or 17,400.
>> It's in the minutes.

136
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,680
» And uh

137
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:25,519
» I guess it isn't.
>> Yes. Uh, you guys want to consider that?

138
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:32,000
» 17,400.
>> Yeah. 17,400. Yeah.

139
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:37,920
Uh, it'd be a good time probably to do
that.

140
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:46,480
» And I noticed the exterior painting
didn't get included in as well.

141
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:52,000
And I think the we okay did the the
painting for $15,000 is going it be an

142
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:57,279
extra ticket contract
because it wasn't part of that the

143
00:10:54,079 --> 00:11:03,360
original bid and it wasn't actually part
of the scope of work in the on the plans

144
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:07,200
» the windows we we didn't took care of
that that's that's in contract

145
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,839
» well but but you would make the painting
part of the contract with roads

146
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:12,880
» yes
>> the paving you just have a ping

147
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:17,519
contractor do that separate?
>> Uh, well, we actually I got to price the

148
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:21,920
rubbish for that, you know, extra. I
told you to get right to the contractor,

149
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:25,600
see what it cost us extra from that.
>> Okay.

150
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:31,680
» So,
uh, I guess you know the council

151
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,720
uh, do we need to reapprove these 15,000
for the painting?

152
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,800
» I think you need to authorize it.
>> Authorize the exchange order.

153
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,519
» Yeah.
>> Okay. So, is that what you guys like to

154
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,600
do? authorize a change order for 15,000
for the painting

155
00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:46,880
» and and authorize you to go ahead and
sign it.

156
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:51,640
» Yeah. Authorize me to sign that and uh
also how about you guys?

157
00:11:52,320 --> 00:12:00,399
» I think we should just because you know
snow removal. Um

158
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:05,120
» easy access into the back of the
building.

159
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:09,920
That's my thoughts. I think we should do
it too.

160
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:13,279
» While we're while we're doing it, we
probably should do it or probably will

161
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,760
not get done.
>> Probably will.

162
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,839
Does anybody want to make a motion to
approve the painting? Oh, the the

163
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,240
painting for 17,400
motion.

164
00:12:24,959 --> 00:12:31,600
» I'll second.
>> All in favor say I. I.

165
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:35,360
» Are you combining those? So you you're
approving the painting of 15,000 and

166
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,000
paying 174,
>> right?

167
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:41,040
» And authorizing a change order for both
>> for both

168
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:45,760
» and authorizing you to sign.
>> Yes. Is that what Yes. Yep.

169
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:52,000
» Okay.
>> Okay. Let's see. What else is involved?

170
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:57,519
Oh, we had a
a pay application for mobilization

171
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:03,120
here
and then the amount

172
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:08,839
this will be probably the materials and
the startup cost of the job. It's going

173
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:08,839
to be $16,3110

174
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:20,079
and we'll be paying for that the our our
portion of of what the town hall I think

175
00:13:16,959 --> 00:13:25,440
we decided up to 90,000.
U so we'll be paying for that initially

176
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:29,040
from that.
So I need the council to make a motion

177
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:31,920
to approve
>> and that that is the signature of the

178
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,519
architect down there.
>> Yes, it is. And

179
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,880
» I don't know who that is, but
>> huh.

180
00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:39,360
» Yeah.
>> Okay. Yeah.

181
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,760
» That's the Miller or March Miller.
>> Yeah.

182
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,760
» Okay.

183
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,519
» Now, do we got to run all these pay
applications through the architect? Is

184
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:49,680
that part of that?
>> Well, I think that's part of what

185
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,600
they're doing for us. Yeah.
>> Okay. Okay.

186
00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:58,639
» And it always feels good to know that
they were going to change.

187
00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:01,120
» Well, I I would ask them to just because
they'll keep using the AIA forms.

188
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:05,040
» Okay.
>> And they did the personal for us. So,

189
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:08,639
» okay, that sounds good. I didn't know,
>> you know, because by doing this, we have

190
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,120
a way of keeping the running total and
the adjusted contract sum and

191
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:15,199
» right,
>> it is a way to kind of keep the contract

192
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:19,760
in order.
>> In order.

193
00:14:15,839 --> 00:14:22,920
» Yeah. Okay. I wasn't sure about that.
>> All right.

194
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,800
» You second.
>> All in favor say I.

195
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:37,760
» I.
Then behind that we've got uh a free

196
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:43,440
service job free service. We already
okay this in in the last meeting. This

197
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:48,160
is just his uh invoice for the payment.
>> It's very vague. I'm sorry.

198
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:51,680
» It's very It's not a very good copy. I'm
sorry. But

199
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,880
» No, it's not a very good copy. $600 on
there.

200
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,440
» Yeah.
>> Can't really tell. It's a little light.

201
00:14:54,959 --> 00:15:01,600
That's the amount.
So the emotions go pretty bad.

202
00:15:00,250 --> 00:15:04,240
[Applause]
motion.

203
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:11,000
All
>> say I

204
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,000
uh Okay.

205
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:23,040
Uh Lori Laura Elliot, we got her here.
>> Yes, she did.

206
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:27,839
That
>> we don't have it in our back. This

207
00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:32,639
little one here.
And then we got two. So this is what you

208
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:38,480
had asked for
the last meeting.

209
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:46,399
I can't do that.
Um but I but what I did what I did see

210
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:53,279
is that it started back in um
the August the 26th of 2023.

211
00:15:50,560 --> 00:16:00,639
So these are a lot of these are just
small amounts of time hours.

212
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:06,000
So it is it is
um so it's not like it's once a year

213
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:10,560
it's she continues it on till we use all
our time and we were actually

214
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:16,830
and needed to do some work but we had to
wait till this meeting because if you're

215
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:23,199
not using the contract hours
[Applause]

216
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:30,560
and so I looked over these hours we you
know we take the amount of money divided

217
00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:35,440
by the amount of time she gives us. It's
And since she's going to she's going to

218
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:39,920
carry it over, I I think we should
choose the more hours because it's going

219
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:43,320
to be for a lot less
per hour.

220
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,959
2480
is going to be

221
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:08,319
you know, and and I wanted to mention
too, I I think that

222
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:14,160
I mean, if we didn't go with if we
didn't stay with this, we would have to

223
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:18,240
scrap the whole web page and website and
start over. So, we obviously want to

224
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:24,000
keep going because we've already got it
established. But I I wanted to let

225
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:33,840
everybody know that Laura um I think she
goes over and she goes out to business

226
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:38,320
locations and takes pictures and a lot
of I can't say a lot but some of the

227
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,320
stuff she does she doesn't charge us
for.

228
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:50,720
» Tell me last. I didn't have
>> two years.

229
00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:55,640
» Yeah.
>> Two years almost to the day.

230
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,280
» I think 80 hours or so.

231
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,120
» Yeah. What do you think, Jeremy?

232
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,600
I want to make a motion that
motion.

233
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:25,600
» All in favor say I.
>> All right.

234
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:30,760
Let's see here. Next we got
invoices from police and Frank.

235
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:38,600
Let's see what the first one we got here
is. This is uh

236
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:52,320

239
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:11,840

and one right behind that. This one is

240
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:16,960
for contract administration,
$5,500.

241
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:22,799
And the one in the very back, this is
for the consumer report

242
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:28,760
uh paperwork they did for us
that should be coming out in the water.

243
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,760
Pretty good.

244
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:37,200
So, anybody want to make a motion to
approve uh the $4,000

253
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,150
[Music]

254
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,919

fire

267
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:58,640

[Music]

272
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:24,480
Thank you. Uh,
as usual, the council

273
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,880
uh usually contributes a little bit of
money to the colonel day colonel water

274
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:34,720
day committee. And I'm going to ask him
once again uh for $500 donation

275
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:39,840
to the Colonel Water for the promotion
of the town. And that's how we'll be

276
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:44,559
paying for it out of the town's
promotional funds.

277
00:22:42,159 --> 00:22:49,760
So, anybody want to make a motion to
donate $500 to the current owner

» All in favor say I.
>> I.

280
00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:01,280
» Property line survey of new town hall.
Uh

281
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:06,159
I guess we may want to get that the
property survey down there. I say it's

282
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,400
probably March.
It is

283
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:24,159
» I did a survey over a while back
for Walker and

284
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:27,520
Meredith.
>> Okay.

285
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,799
» We may be able to get a copy of that
survey.

286
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:36,080
» Everything's recorded.
>> Okay. It may be recorded down there's

287
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:41,679
office. I can check on that. Okay. Well,
let's uh let's look at that before we uh

288
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:46,159
jump the gun on that. One thing though
is I've been in contract with David

289
00:23:44,159 --> 00:23:51,600
Johnson's property on you know they to
one of his markers in that project and

290
00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:56,240
we all agreed to get him surveyed. I I
called that guy. He said he'd give me a

291
00:23:53,360 --> 00:24:02,080
price and he never did. I left a message
with him again and he hasn't responded.

292
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:05,840
So, I'm gonna try to leave you one more
message and I said if you don't respond

293
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,960
in a week or so, maybe we can try and
find somebody else.

294
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:15,200
» Yeah. So, you guys ain't got a problem.
>> I don't have a problem if I need to.

295
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:21,440
Okay.
>> If he doesn't get back to

296
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:26,130
» Okay. Yeah. what we need to do.
Um

297
00:24:23,010 --> 00:24:26,130
[Music]

298
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:34,880
the old town hall, I think. Uh yeah. Are
we are we thinking about selling that

299
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:39,360
and put the proceeds towards the new
town hall? Cuz if we are, we're probably

300
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:43,440
going to need to get some bids on some
appraisals

301
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:47,600
and start that process. It probably
wouldn't be too early to start that

302
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:51,120
process, you know, cuz that takes some
time. Probably have to get another three

303
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:57,840
or four appraisers like we did last
time. Pick the two best and it's going

304
00:24:54,640 --> 00:25:02,000
to be the average of the two, right? Is
that how that work?

305
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:06,000
» We got to put that out for seal bids. Is
that the way that would work?

306
00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:10,080
» Yeah, you can you can employ an
auctioneer if you decided to do that

307
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:14,480
instead, but I don't know whether you
gain anything that way or not.

308
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:22,720
But we still have to have appraised. The
first step in the process is

309
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:28,640
to to have the two appraisals done. And
uh

310
00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:34,159
it can be you know an appraiser or some
uh a real a licensed real estate broker

311
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:39,000
or it can be an employee of the town
who's knowledgeable about the values of

312
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,000
the property.

313
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:47,520
And we, you know, I think if it's
something that is just property unload

314
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:51,120
that has really insignificant value, you
can kind of get away with that. Save the

315
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:56,720
money crazy. But I think here you
probably want to be pretty precise on

316
00:25:53,600 --> 00:26:03,039
what that what it's fair market value is
to guide you on, you know, what is a

317
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:05,679
good price for it. So if we find an
appraisal, it's not going to charge a

318
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,679
whole lot. It's not a sophisticated
appraisal. And I think Joe, we don't

319
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:14,240
need
I mean, I I'd almost ask for like an

320
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:18,880
opinion and value, right? Rather than a
full-blown

321
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:22,400
appraisal with an appraisal report.
And sometimes the appraisers, if they're

322
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,919
simply writing an opinion value, will
charge a good deal less because they

323
00:26:24,159 --> 00:26:32,320
don't have the work in the report
itself.

324
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:37,440
Um, I before we like go any further with
that, I'd like to talk with Michelle

325
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:42,799
Remax because she actually took extra
classes for that. She probably can't say

326
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:45,840
she'll do it for free, but it probably
work.

327
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:50,320
» Well, if she do it even for less, uh,
that would be helpful.

328
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:54,400
» But yeah, if you know some, I'm happy to
do that, too. I I think if we could

329
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:57,120
identify a couple and get them to kind
of commit ahead of time what the cost is

330
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,120
going to be then those are the two you
want to use.

331
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:03,360
» So that
>> I guess tonight you're just trying to

332
00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:06,159
figure out whether the council's ready
to move forward, right?

333
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:12,240
» Yeah. If you guys want to move forward
with that and uh if you do, we'll pursue

334
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:17,279
uh get some some pricing on that.
>> I do. I think it would open up for more

335
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:22,400
businesses downtown. I'm off for that.
>> Okay.

336
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:29,440
Well, I don't think we want to do that.
I'll just try to get most of you or you

337
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:33,360
want me to I I can we both can, but I
I'll I'll see if I can get get some

338
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:36,400
» Okay.
>> Yeah, I'll be happy to I'll let you know

339
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:38,960
what I find out.
>> Okay.

340
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:46,159
» And I'll talk to Michelle.
>> All right. uh

341
00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:52,960
deep employment policy comp time 30
minute lunch break

342
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:59,360
for example the water a lot
something I think uh table

343
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:06,039
» yeah we're going to table that we're
going to table that to future meeting

344
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:06,039
lunch

345
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,640
Yeah. Um
>> what's that for?

346
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:18,559
» Well, um right now we're waiting on
closing out a grant with community

347
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:24,080
foundation. We got to get a water
fountain put in

348
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:30,320
and um and the trail is starting to look
a little rough. Um we've got I've got a

349
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:35,760

parkour. We're going to be meeting with

00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:47,600
going to be talking about um getting
started on the grant, what we can use

353
00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:52,000
that we've already put into the trail to
maybe go against our portion of the

354
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:56,880
grant. So, I'll know more about that
next meeting. And then this past month,

355
00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:02,559
um the park board did not have a
meeting. Um, their meeting is tomorrow

356
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:06,950
night at the park on Brent Street at
6:30.

357
00:29:04,399 --> 00:29:10,049
That's all I got.

» All in favor say I.
>> I

All say

367
00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:23,809

[Applause]
in here.

370
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,159
» I think I

371
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:45,080
did.
So it's actually resolution

372
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,080
20.5-8.

373
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:53,360
» Yes.
>> And

374
00:30:50,480 --> 00:31:02,200
these were some miscellaneous trans uh
transfers to

375
00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:02,200
bring everything to a balance. Um

376
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:13,559
like we transfer money to the payload
and a little bit in the garage motor

377
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,360
pretty much squaring up above

378
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:34,399
water
is due to

379
00:31:32,399 --> 00:31:42,399
the
budget. We had a little walk.

380
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:46,640
So maybe next year be a little better.
Anybody want to make a motion to approve

381
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,320
2025 cash
transfer?

382
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:54,200
Second.
>> All in favor say I.

383
00:32:07,410 --> 00:32:10,489
[Music]

384
00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:17,000
budget request here.

385
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:28,559
And uh you guys got this one table next
to me.

386
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:31,760
» Budget request.
>> Okay.

387
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:34,720
» Well, our public hearing is next.
>> You need to share it.

388
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:39,000
» Our public hearing is next month. I've
heard you entered it in gateway.

389
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:46,200
» I mean, just
>> if you just want to look at it.

390
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,960
Awesome,

391
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,120
man.

392
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,640
recent.

393
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:20,360
» All right.

394
00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:35,559
» And I think I
went through quite a bit of trouble and

395
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,559
try to get this all balanced out. U

396
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:45,919
he's asked to for increase for the
full-time police officer and u he's he's

397
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:55,559
also asked for the corresponding
reductions in the department budget

398
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:55,559
to help me make up for that pay increase

399
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:05,120
down here at the bottom he he lays it
out just the way we did it to and the

400
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:11,159
total amount required is to fund
proposed 4% raise of full-time police

401
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,159
officers is $7,196.

402
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:19,200
The amount will be fully covered by
reallocating the funds for existing

403
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:24,079
budget line items. Specifically, $3,000
will come from the eliminating the

404
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:30,720
overtime budget line item, which as of
today's date has not had any expenditure

405
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:36,000
in troop in in 2025, and the additional
3,900 will be taken from the police

406
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:40,639
equipment uniforms line and cate which I
believe have consistently returned

407
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:43,639
unused funds, the general fund for each
year.

408
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:49,000
And that's basically where he's getting
the thoughts.

409
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:52,520
» It makes sense.

410
00:34:56,639 --> 00:35:01,920
» Anybody want to make a motion to approve
this?

411
00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:04,920
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

412
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,520
And uh

413
00:35:17,359 --> 00:35:28,400
well I don't fill this out.
I don't I don't know. We got three

414
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:33,359
health three personnel right now.
Uh

415
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:37,680
K didn't ask for a 3% raise. I put this
down there. Uh Kyle, was you asking for

416
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:40,680
a raise for your department?
>> Yes.

417
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:48,640
» I checked the budget and it's it's well
within the water rate budget and the

418
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:55,720
sewer rate budget. It's only since they
only make up 1% of that rate increase.

419
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,720
Um

420
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:04,079
any plan on purchasing new vehicles?
There was a plan on purchasing a dump

421
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:08,640
trailer
about $15,000. Plan on paying for that

422
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:12,480
pretty much if you sell the dump truck.
>> Mhm.

423
00:36:09,359 --> 00:36:14,880
» And get it down to almost nothing. We
did manage to get the dump truck fixed

424
00:36:13,839 --> 00:36:17,200
today.
>> Yes.

425
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:23,040
» Except the old
>> Yes.

426
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:30,000
So, uh uh you haven't looked at that yet
on No. Trying to get it all done for

427
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:35,760
you.
So, there's no other equipment. Uh, we

428
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:40,000
have planned on building a new utility
building up here for the last couple

429
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:46,240
years.
We ask that the council maybe look at

430
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:51,520
that and next year's budget and uh try
to prove that. I did get a portion of

431
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:58,640
that money put into the new water rates.
Uh, the water department's portion of

432
00:36:53,920 --> 00:37:02,160
that would be already accounted for.
uh

433
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:08,240
we
would have to look at uh other ways to

434
00:37:05,359 --> 00:37:14,280
pay for the rest of it. Maybe we could
finance it

435
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,280
or

436
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:23,280
and most likely that's what we have to
do because it's it's not going to be in

437
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:26,280
the pursuit study have.
So,

438
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:34,640
and the mini road roller. I think the
thought is there is maybe we can do some

439
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:42,480
of our own patching around here. We can
order we can get the uh hot patch and

440
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:48,480
put it in the trailer and
take care of some of this patch. We have

441
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:53,440
whatever we're trying to get done this
year. What

442
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:59,680
» was that contractor we we hired?
to come in and do patching

443
00:37:56,240 --> 00:38:05,920
» walls. They haven't got to be here this
week. Yeah, he said last week Friday or

444
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:11,119
something, but they never showed up. So,
we should be seeing the same. And the

445
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:18,400
salt budget was already done. 3600 bucks
for a year.

446
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:21,960
This is remember this is just a a uh
a budget proposal.

447
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:26,440
Anybody got any problems with this?

448
00:38:27,359 --> 00:38:32,359
» No.
>> Okay.

449
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:46,240
Um
right. you got anything?

450
00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:54,960
» Um, just the pictures that you guys have
of the of the crash. Um,

451
00:38:50,640 --> 00:39:00,560
I've got a couple copies of a of an
estate

452
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:05,040
well the body shop here in town.
It ended up being a little different

453
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:12,000
than what we talked about originally,
but um

454
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:16,480
Jared um ran into a deer the other
evening.

455
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:22,160
Um and and there's also um some repairs
on that quote that um that the council

456
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:25,359
actually previously um approved this fix
and we just never got around to it due

457
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,880
the vehicle issues, the hole in the
floorboard.

458
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:34,960
Um there are a couple errors in this
quote. he has tax on it, so that would

459
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:40,240
need to be adjusted. But my first
question would be with that total, do we

460
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:44,160
want to uh turn it in on the town's
$1,000 deductible or just pay that out

461
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:48,640
of pocket?
And then also,

462
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:52,000
if I could go ahead and get the approval
to go ahead and get this fixed done with

463
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:56,240
Danny,
just be a little bit more convenient to

464
00:39:53,359 --> 00:40:00,400
keep it here in town.
Yeah. So,

465
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:06,280
» correct.
>> 15333.

466
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,280
And I

467
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:12,160
» Yeah. And then I I also think it it
would be fair to say minus the 200 for

468
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,960
the hole in the floor, too, cuz that
wasn't caused by the

469
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:20,160
» Okay.
>> It's just simpler for her to to fix it

470
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:25,200
all while he was here or why it's there.
It also has a door hinge issue that he

471
00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:28,079
uh he forgot to put on this quote and
when we reached out to him, he said that

472
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:32,480
it was his fault. He would just take
care of it free of charge. So, for not

473
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:36,200
including it,
>> I think we should avoid.

474
00:40:45,839 --> 00:40:50,800
So, if it's all right with you guys, he
said that he would actually start it

475
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:55,320
this upcoming weekend and get it fixed
over the weekend for us.

476
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,320
» Okay.

477
00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:00,079
1500.
>> I'll make a motion.

478
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:05,079
All
>> favor say I.

479
00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:05,079
» All right.

480
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,480
How much is it?

481
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:24,240
» Yeah. Um,
we don't have any power at the eent

482
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:29,839
meter. Um, be close to get that fixed.
It's about $5,000.

483
00:41:27,359 --> 00:41:34,920
That's new wire from the building up to
the dock

484
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,920
and

485
00:41:35,359 --> 00:41:43,599
that roof
generator.

486
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:48,480
» Yeah. So, what happened? Our wires got
cut somewhere on the other end and we

487
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:54,400
don't know where it's at. And uh
>> we got no power down there.

488
00:41:51,760 --> 00:42:00,480
» And that comes all the waste water.
>> Yeah. All my waste water.

489
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:06,160
» Was there do you remember there was
nothing in budget for something like

490
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:10,000
that? Do you know just
having to get another

491
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:12,480
» Yeah, the waste water's in fairly good
shape.

492
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:22,000
You know,
>> we do have

493
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:27,680
repairs.
>> Yeah. I mean, it is repair and we have

494
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:35,640
had a whole actually we have had a
little bit of sewer repair this year

495
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:35,640
up there and it cost us a little bit.

496
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:48,359
You know, our operating right now are
about

497
00:42:45,359 --> 00:42:48,359
99,000

498
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,400
835.

499
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,800
So,

500
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:11,280
you know, something like question
got. I mean, we could try to find

501
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:19,000
somebody to do it cheaper, but I mean,
it's got to be time.

502
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:19,000
» I can always move money around

503
00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:23,160
if there isn't enough
>> in

504
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:30,560
$5,000. $4,955.
He didn't give me He didn't really give

505
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:36,640
me a quote. I'm sorry. He just texted to
me. So, it's very electric.

506
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,599
» Yeah.
>> Station.

507
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,200
Yeah.
>> So, I guess we just need to get luxury

508
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:46,000
to go through it.
>> You don't think anyone else would be

509
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:51,520
cheaper?
>> I don't really. I mean, the wire is the

510
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:57,520
most expensive part. The wires that I
sell right now. So yeah,

511
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:03,599
» where would you normally take something
like that out? Which one of the funds?

512
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:07,720
» Repair and maintenance contractual.
>> Yeah, contraction.

513
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:20,690
» It's 1361.
It should be 620

514
00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:24,560
1 1361.
[Music]

515
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:29,359
around that.
But like I said, if there's not enough

516
00:44:26,079 --> 00:44:33,160
money in there, I can always move it
from something else.

517
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:46,079
Or we could we also can if it wasn't
enough in there cuz I was just like

518
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:50,400
trying to keep up with this like we're
budgeting for next year. If we did do

519
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:57,119
something like this out of this, can we
can we negative can we negative a

520
00:44:53,040 --> 00:45:00,240
balance and and and leave it like that
till the end of the year and at the end

521
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:05,760
of the year we figure out where to move
the money so that uh so we know how to

522
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:09,839
like budget that for next year.
>> Well, that's what those transfers are

523
00:45:08,319 --> 00:45:15,520
that I do,
>> moving money around. And I want I'm

524
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,640
trying to keep it all in the positive as
much as possible.

525
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,520
How much does it show that's in there?

526
00:45:31,130 --> 00:45:34,360
[Applause]

527
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:52,559
Uh, there's not much left.
$58,158.

528
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,559
[Music]

529
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000
» Yes.

530
00:45:57,359 --> 00:46:06,920
» So, we're going to have So, I'll have to
find it. Uh, but I see that in other

531
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:06,920
services and charges we've got $11,512.

532
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:13,520
So I could move money from there to
that.

533
00:46:11,839 --> 00:46:18,240
» What are some Do you know where I am
now? What are some of the charges we

534
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:22,079
use? Is that for the other
>> anything that's unusual?

535
00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:25,359
» Okay.
>> That is not normally a monthly.

536
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,280
» Okay.
>> Expense.

537
00:46:26,319 --> 00:46:32,880
» Okay. I just I think this budget is a
really good idea. Something Morgan

538
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:38,720
Town's never had. I think it's good
because then we can really um we can

539
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:44,410
really narrow things down and see how
much you're spending and everything

540
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:47,570
in the utilities.
[Music]

541
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,680
» Motion to approve the 4,955.

542
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:04,560
» Second. I'll second. All in favor say I.
One more thing.

543
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:10,480
Um,
you guys had a hard time with $5,000.

544
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:17,440
Our perfusion pumps at the lagoon two
area went bad. 12 year 12 years of use.

545
00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:25,760
Um, get those rebuilt
and um $20,500.

546
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:29,040
Yeah. So I think we'll be able to do one
of those a quarter. So what we should

547
00:47:27,359 --> 00:47:32,960
say here?
>> Yeah. I told him that I think we could

548
00:47:31,839 --> 00:47:37,920
do that.
>> Yeah. That's just get the ones out of

549
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:42,880
balance mix right
>> you know to do them all at once it would

550
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:47,119
really deplete the money. But if if he
tried to do one a quarter

551
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:53,040
» or at least
>> every 3 months. Um I we they've got our

552
00:47:51,359 --> 00:47:54,720
pumps
>> repaired.

553
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,800
» Not really.
>> They got our pumps.

554
00:47:55,599 --> 00:48:02,480
» They have our pumps.
>> They have Yeah.

555
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:08,720
» Right. Um I didn't didn't ask.
>> So what we down to two?

556
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:11,200
» We have one in cell one and one in cell
two.

557
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:16,800
» Yeah.
>> It's kind of noticeably showing our

558
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:23,359
sampling. Yeah. We're not getting the
information that we need.

559
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:29,200
» Yeah. Not something that we thought
would happen, but after 12 years and now

560
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:32,200
I'm, you know, continuously running
just

561
00:48:32,319 --> 00:48:41,359
» my thoughts on it are, you know, just
looking at the different funds that the

562
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:46,640
state buses have. I I just I think our
bills for now for water and everything

563
00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:50,960
there are. I know we can use some
infrastructure funds. I don't know if

564
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:55,280
nobody's a big fan of it,
you know, because the water company has

565
00:48:52,640 --> 00:49:00,400
to stand on its own feet. People in town
don't realize that that water company is

566
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:02,400
a totally separate business. They really
don't understand this.

567
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:06,240
» They don't.
>> And I understand I mean here they are in

568
00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:09,119
town and they have this one town and
they think it's all together, but it's

569
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,720
very separate.
>> It's a hard thing to get people to

570
00:49:10,559 --> 00:49:16,640
grasp. and our our infrastructure has
fallen apart and here we are. You know,

571
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:20,559
we don't
>> and we do got some excessive sludge

572
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:23,559
build up in the pond which is not
helping

573
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:31,839
we've got I talked to Lori about it. So,
>> I was going to ask that because you know

574
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:37,040
back it wasn't it wasn't Lori and Jill
and it was Wesler I think but

575
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:42,000
» those were crucial they call them the
bubblers or or whatever those things

576
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:47,040
were at the time but Were
you sending that? You weren't.

577
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:52,400
» Well, they had for these air raators in
the lagoon and the lagoon was it was

578
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:57,920
pretty crucial that
because of the sludge build up that um

579
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:01,520
we were going to lose that, you know,
the risk being that there was going to

580
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:05,599
have to be significant dating done and
ultimately then if the lagoons failed,

581
00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:11,200
we'd have to go to a conventional plant
which you absolutely cannot to do,

582
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:16,400
» right? And I'm shocked to hear that even
one of them is not working because they

583
00:50:14,079 --> 00:50:20,240
expected to have four and we got a great
result when we fired those things up and

584
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:25,040
started moving that water and they're
radiating better and I'm surprised that

585
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:27,520
the lagoon can maintain a healthy level
if there's not all four running all the

586
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,800
time.
>> Well, it's just that those levels are

587
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:34,000
going down. I mean,
>> well, that would be consistent with what

588
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,839
we were told back then.
>> Yeah. But I would think that that

589
00:50:35,839 --> 00:50:42,160
getting those fixed would just almost be
an emergency.

590
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:46,400
» And I'm I don't I'm not I'm not I'm not
I'm not trying to be a waste water

591
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:50,400
engineer. I'm I'm sharing with you the
conversation was had back 12 years ago

592
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:55,839
when these things were purchased. Just
to give you some history

593
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:58,960
and say we don't have air movement that
water is going to make the it's going to

594
00:50:57,599 --> 00:51:01,119
turn into a system.
>> Yep.

595
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:07,119
» We can't have that.
>> Yeah. And that's, you know, it is pretty

596
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:13,359
critical to get them back up. And, you
know,

597
00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:21,200
» we have 99,000 and and we could do it
>> and we could pay for that 20,500.

598
00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:24,880
The monthly payment for the SRF is about
17,000.

599
00:51:23,359 --> 00:51:31,200
Um,
but we have this month's income to get

600
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:36,079
built back up again. Is it that is it
some of this money though like that we

601
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:43,760
have we did that last grade study is
some of that for um the next time we

602
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:49,680
have to do a project
>> and I asked Sharon so Sharon's going to

603
00:51:45,839 --> 00:51:54,319
try to get that u last wastewater study
that we did so because it has been a

604
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:58,240
couple years now and I want to make sure
I compare that we have to what that

605
00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:00,160
study called for to make sure what
happened that

606
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:05,760
» yeah we
>> well there be a replacement fund right

607
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:10,480
as part of your liability
>> there is in the rate study I'm sure

608
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:14,079
there was but it it actually and I don't
think we have set aside in on the

609
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:17,440
appropriation
>> so that would be under probably the

610
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:21,040
construction
>> portion right there

611
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:23,599
» but you know we uh
>> well but if it was factored into the

612
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:27,200
rates
>> you ought to be collecting that money

613
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:30,559
» it ought to be building up someplace
Yeah, it is built and that's probably

614
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:34,240
why we got a higher balance
>> and if the rate consult did it right

615
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:39,200
that these
these assets

616
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:44,119
» should be factored into yes
>> the long-term assets that will need to

617
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,119
be replaced

618
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:51,119
» well how much does the new one
>> amount for the

619
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:57,760
» how much does a new one cost a fusion
pump I mean this

620
00:52:53,040 --> 00:53:02,559
» if this is fusion pumps There's pumps in
the last 20 years instead of 10 as well.

621
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:07,760
» Yeah.
>> Are these things out there in the water?

622
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:13,280
Yeah.
>> Just get it done. We have the money that

623
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:18,240
we can just let it replenish.
>> That's what we need to do.

624
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:24,640
» Yeah. I guess that's what we're waiting
on in God to give us to give a word so

625
00:53:21,839 --> 00:53:31,680
we can pay back out there.
You might want to make a motion to

626
00:53:25,839 --> 00:53:35,079
approve the air ticket of 20,500 bucks.
>> I'll make a motion.

627
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,960
» All say I

628
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,440
» vote

629
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:54,760
I
fine

630
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:54,760
» for now. I think $20,000.

631
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,040
» All right.

632
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,839
Anything else?

633
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:11,359
» I just want to say one thing. Um I
wanted to let the council know that we

634
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:15,520
had an issue with the sprinkling credit.
Um

635
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:20,160
and that um we discovered it. We had
someone come in and say that they didn't

636
00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:25,440
they didn't think they got it this month
when they received their bill. And so

637
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:31,599
looking back at first we thought it
didn't happen originally like in in

638
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:36,800
June, but it did. We did have the
sprinkling credit for June. It was on

639
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:41,200
the June bill, but it was not on the
July bill. and we don't know what

640
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:45,200
happened because that's something that
you

641
00:54:43,119 --> 00:54:51,200
click in there and it stays until you
take it off. Um,

642
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:56,960
so, um, I just wanted to let everyone
know that there's like

643
00:54:53,839 --> 00:55:04,240
she's got it down to 113 people that
have this earthling credit and she has

644
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:10,640
eliminated uh there was 134, but she
eliminated uh the the difference because

645
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:17,119
of people were had moved out or
whatever. And so, um, not everybody gets

646
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:23,599
the sprinkling credit even though they
may sign up for it because you have it's

647
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:30,319
the average of the winter months,
um, is how they how it is, um,

648
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:35,839
calculated in the system. And so, uh,
you have to go over that average.

649
00:55:34,079 --> 00:55:40,640
So, I just wanted to let everybody know
that Becky is working on that. she has

650
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:45,599
the formula on how to figure and she's
going to have to manually figure. Now,

651
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:54,640
the next bill that comes out will be
fine. It's just for this July bill.

652
00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:58,160
And I have a suggestion with that. Um,
you know, the people that are getting

653
00:55:56,319 --> 00:56:02,720
this, they could have been on this for
10 years. They may not even use that

654
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:06,000
service anymore, but yet they're still
getting all these places. This is

655
00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:10,079
actually
it's costing us money because Becky's

656
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:13,520
had to work, you know, over time to try
to figure all this cuz something

657
00:56:11,599 --> 00:56:20,079
happened to the system which wasn't our
fault. Um, but I think it's a good idea

658
00:56:17,359 --> 00:56:25,200
that it says something in there by May
the 1st that you you have to be in in

659
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:29,040
order to get this, but then once you
sign up, it's like it's a forever pass.

660
00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:34,079
I think they just have to come in and
sign up every year by May 1st if they're

661
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:38,240
really going to need this credit.
>> It seems to be a seasonal

662
00:56:36,079 --> 00:56:41,920
» Yeah, it's just from May to like the end
of September or something like that in

663
00:56:40,319 --> 00:56:44,640
our ordinance.
>> Yes,

664
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:48,400
» it should expire in September.
>> I I think it should.

665
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:51,440
» And they would have to reapply for that
year.

666
00:56:48,799 --> 00:56:55,920
» Yeah. And what that does in the system,
so Becky when they would come in in May,

667
00:56:53,920 --> 00:57:01,040
they fill that out. she go in the system
and there go a block where you put a

668
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:07,280
number code and by that number code
>> um you know she's only probably going to

669
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:10,160
have a handful probably to 100 or 100
plus

670
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:14,559
» there's people that have asked well I
didn't get it but they were signed up

671
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,880
for it well if they don't go over their
average

672
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:21,760
» you don't get it
>> you don't get it

673
00:57:18,319 --> 00:57:28,720
» and um so
um I just wanted you to be aware

674
00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:35,520
that that has happened and
we're fixing it.

675
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:40,079
» Is that something that that um
I mean I don't know if we do it tonight.

676
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,920
We could get on the schedule for next
month or whatever to look at that and

677
00:57:42,319 --> 00:57:47,599
maybe make that one change.
>> Well, we would need to amend the rate

678
00:57:45,599 --> 00:57:50,799
ordinance to make that change. You can
certainly make the decision tonight and

679
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:55,440
adopt an ordinance at the next meeting
or we could you could you could table it

680
00:57:53,839 --> 00:58:00,640
for discussion at the next meeting.
We've got we've got some time

681
00:57:57,839 --> 00:58:03,440
» cuz you know it won't really affect
anybody until next year.

682
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:08,720
» Yeah.
>> And and and I and I think I I get your

683
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:17,280
point dude. you know, you sign up once
you get it forever. But but I think

684
00:58:13,599 --> 00:58:21,280
um pe people won't like having to do it
every year. What why that will work well

685
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,920
with utilities is a lot of people will
forget, but then they're going to be

686
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,720
angry because they're not getting it
anymore.

687
00:58:24,799 --> 00:58:31,680
» But that is one way to limit it and make
sure people are thinking and making it a

688
00:58:29,599 --> 00:58:37,040
point to ask for it every year, not that
it gets set and it's just there. Another

689
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:41,200
option I think would be to
shorten the term of it.

690
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:44,880
» You know, I don't Does it start in June
or May?

691
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:47,359
» It starts in May for June's billing.
>> For June's billing,

692
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,720
» it's May's uh
>> but it's the June billing that you first

693
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:55,520
get the credit, right? Right.
>> I mean, I guess you could shorten the

694
00:58:52,079 --> 00:58:58,640
term of it or you could cap the credit
>> and you could do all of those things.

695
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:03,520
You can see you got to come in May 1st
of every year to get it. The credit

696
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:06,640
won't exceed this amount. so that
they're not getting as big a credit as

697
00:59:05,119 --> 00:59:14,319
they're getting now,
>> right? Um, and you could also set the

698
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:18,720
eligibility uh threshold differently
than it is now, too, to say if you're

699
00:59:16,559 --> 00:59:23,920
not, you know, if you're not exceeding
your bill by something greater than what

700
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:27,040
it is now, then you don't get it. So,
there there, you know, three or four

701
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:32,240
different moving parts that you could
look at to get at this problem if you

702
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:34,799
want to. Not not just not just that they
have to do it every year,

703
00:59:33,599 --> 00:59:39,040
» but but there are other things you can
do to get at it too if you want.

704
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:44,960
» Do it and I'll just I'll look at it, see
what I think. You guys can share it or

705
00:59:42,319 --> 00:59:49,920
whatever and look at it. I just kind of
feel like it's just ran on and it's

706
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:51,599
grown to, you know, a large people.
>> Yeah, it's a lot of money.

707
00:59:50,799 --> 00:59:57,760
» It's a lot of money.
>> Yeah, it is.

708
00:59:54,880 --> 01:00:01,760
» 60 people. One person I think was like
$70.

709
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:05,599
» And I I I don't mean to make this bigger
than it is, but here's the other problem

710
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:09,920
with the credit, too. Is
>> I think they get it because

711
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,599
Is it a water credit and sewer or just
sewer?

712
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,559
» It's just
>> It's just water.

713
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,839
» It's just No, it's just sewer.
>> Oh.

714
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,000
» Oh, yeah.
>> Yes, it is sewer. It's a town sewage

715
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,640
work.
>> Okay. Then that didn't make any sense.

716
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:25,119
Okay.
>> Yeah.

717
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:29,040
» But but like when she went through that
like There's a lot of people they sold

718
01:00:27,359 --> 01:00:32,400
the home, moved out, somebody's in
there, they're getting the correct, you

719
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:35,599
know, it just so it's not being really
kept up with, looked at.

720
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:39,079
» Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.

721
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:48,480
» See,
pointless, we got to get a unsafe

722
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:53,920
building authority together.
And uh I've talked to a couple people

723
01:00:51,839 --> 01:00:57,920
and I've got a couple people that dream
to do it.

724
01:00:55,599 --> 01:01:03,119
Um,
so I I tried to get him to burn just to

725
01:01:00,559 --> 01:01:10,720
make sure that he was willing to do it.
He told me he was. So, uh, Burn Snider,

726
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:15,520
Chad Buts, and the third person would be
me.

727
01:01:12,559 --> 01:01:19,599
So, uh,
we we really can't move forward from

728
01:01:17,359 --> 01:01:23,200
where we're at until we make these
appointments,

729
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:28,880
uh, and we get this, uh, hearing
authority into place.

730
01:01:26,079 --> 01:01:34,240
So, I would make the recommendation that
we point these three individuals to the

731
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:40,119
unsafe building authority
and as long as council locate them.

732
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:48,799
Okay.
Good. Okay.

733
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:54,359
» We forgot
prices.

734
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,359
» Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

735
01:01:54,559 --> 01:02:04,400
Go ahead and do that one.
And we table that from last time we was

736
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:10,880
here. Jane asked for water credit.
And uh you know we I reviewed the

737
01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:21,200
ordinance
uh and the ordinance is pretty clear on

738
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:30,240
whether or not this particular
uh bill would be eligible for a

739
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:36,799
a adjustment.
The ordinance uh

740
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:42,160
says it's not and the council has the
ability to do everything.

741
01:02:40,390 --> 01:02:45,200
[Music]
>> Let's see.

742
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:48,200
» Is that enough?
>> Yeah.

743
01:02:48,260 --> 01:02:51,679
[Applause]

744
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:59,119
This is the way it is.
It has to be an unusually large field.

745
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:02,799
In other words, it has to be a field. It
has to be sliced in normal

746
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:08,240
» bill. Yeah.
>> And this is my

747
01:03:05,599 --> 01:03:14,880
» build.
And the it has to be visible or

748
01:03:11,359 --> 01:03:18,079
detectable on the customer premises only
except upon excavation.

749
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:22,720
» Yes.
>> Or some other disturbance of the

750
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:28,400
property and the result of the act of
the customer or any agent or contractor

751
01:03:26,079 --> 01:03:34,160
hired by the customer. So in other
words, they had to make some form of

752
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:38,480
excavation to find the leak. It it can't
be a leaking toilet. That's right.

753
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:42,640
» A leaking toilet. We both pay for the
water treatment in the toilet and we pay

754
01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:44,240
for it going down the drain of the
toilet.

755
01:03:43,119 --> 01:03:46,720
» All it is is this.
>> So

756
01:03:45,599 --> 01:03:54,160
» all it is is this.
>> It's my opinion that Shane is not

757
01:03:49,920 --> 01:04:00,000
entitled to a adjustment on this
>> and this is for a water adjustment. This

758
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:03,520
is for a water and a sewer. Is that
correct?

759
01:04:00,799 --> 01:04:07,720
» I mean, you can adjust the sewer,
>> but water.

760
01:04:09,119 --> 01:04:15,350
» Okay.
>> I think she figured it for waste water

761
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:19,359
» and
[Music]

762
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:23,280
that's right. Water and the waste water
as well. You know, we did treat it. It

763
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:30,079
wouldn't have a sewer. You know, it's
not like it was a a leak somewhere else.

764
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:34,640
It just went into the yard like a garden
or something like that. It actually went

765
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:37,640
down the sewer and we had to treat the
water.

766
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:45,170
Yeah.
[Applause]

767
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:57,039
» And and you know, here's kind of my take
on it is that um

768
01:04:55,039 --> 01:05:01,039
you know, I would not want to pay this
either. I mean, you can see why he's

769
01:04:59,119 --> 01:05:05,319
upset with it because I think it was
like $300

770
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:13,039
more, you know, what he wanted to pay.
So, there's four tenants in the whole

771
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:19,760
building and I think the water leak was
downstairs in I I think the water leak

772
01:05:17,039 --> 01:05:26,880
was downstairs before they do the flower
arrangements. Um, but it leaked so you

773
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:31,760
know I wanted to mention this in the
meeting just so that people know. So if

774
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:36,000
you have if you have one meter and
you're

775
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:41,680
if you have one meter with more than one
person on that meter and you get a

776
01:05:39,039 --> 01:05:49,200
minimum bill which you usually get so
say you got four tenants every month you

777
01:05:44,319 --> 01:05:58,400
pay 483. Well before he was using a 41
he was consuming 4,100 gallons. So in in

778
01:05:54,160 --> 01:06:02,079
June, he had used double that. But see,
our office is not going to be able to

779
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:04,160
catch that because his bill was the same
as the previous month.

780
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:08,079
» Still,
>> it's still a minimum bill because you

781
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:11,920
get the minimum rate for each one of
those tenants. So if you don't go over

782
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:16,000
that total, you still get the same bill.
So it did not throw up a fight cuz Becky

783
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:20,000
in the office, she literally goes
through all these pages and every single

784
01:06:18,319 --> 01:06:25,839
one of these bills looking for that so
she can help people. Well, she didn't

785
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:31,119
catch it, but the next month in July, it
had already been leaking in July, it

786
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:37,920
used 27,500.
By saw that, so she called. So, that

787
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:42,960
went up about an additional $300 cost.
But, you know, the only reason I feel

788
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:47,920
like the only reason I feel like the
ordinance is fair

789
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:53,520
because I have tenants and my tenants
left the pool running. I I don't I don't

790
01:06:51,039 --> 01:06:59,119
really feel like it would be fair for
the people to take to have to pay for

791
01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:02,720
that. And at the end of the day, they do
because if I'm not paying for it,

792
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:08,079
everybody else is pay for it. That's how
I feel. I may be wrong if I am. I

793
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:12,240
somebody needs to correct me. But that's
how I feel about it.

794
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:19,280
» Yeah. In the past, this is exactly how
we enforce that adjustment ordinance.

795
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:22,160
This is the qualification we set for and
we didn't make this ordinance but I

796
01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:26,340
thought it was fair.
>> It was back in 2005

797
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:30,160
» reasonable
[Music]

798
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:36,160
decision.
>> Is it is everybody online with that

799
01:07:33,839 --> 01:07:44,000
adjustment or is anybody take the chance
to get the adjustment? I mean go ahead.

800
01:07:40,559 --> 01:07:49,520
I don't know what I read. It wasn't this
we can do it if it falls. It says

801
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:54,889
pursuant to the code and it says
>> how we can do it.

802
01:07:51,780 --> 01:07:54,889
[Music]

803
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:07,920
Okay.
All right. I guess that's adjustment

804
01:08:06,079 --> 01:08:12,039
tonight.
The uh

805
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:22,400
the Christmas tree that we kind of
talking with last year at the at the uh

806
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:27,440
new town hall. Does anybody want to
pursue that? I talked to to David

807
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:33,120
Johnson's father-in-law a little bit
about it and I might ask you guys if you

808
01:08:30,159 --> 01:08:37,600
want to pursue that I get back with you.
You know last year we run out of time. I

809
01:08:35,279 --> 01:08:42,560
thought maybe if we start while still we
can get it done

810
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:48,000
but it's up to you guys. We had some
donation money come through and um um

811
01:08:46,480 --> 01:08:53,359
actually
we bought some stuff but Sharon didn't

812
01:08:50,480 --> 01:08:58,799
actually use those funds to buy what she
bought what was bought last year. So we

813
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:03,440
actually have the funds available and
could put it towards that if that's what

814
01:09:00,799 --> 01:09:07,679
we want to do. Or we could use those
funds just to maybe dress up the town,

815
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:12,159
you know, downtown and wait on the trees
till we're done getting moved in the

816
01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:16,799
building and look at it next next year
and maybe Sharon could put a small tree

817
01:09:14,719 --> 01:09:23,839
in in the new town hall if we get the
town hall. So, we got options.

818
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:30,239
We should wait until dinner. That's kind
of what I Okay.

819
01:09:28,239 --> 01:09:33,239
All right.
uh

820
01:09:33,359 --> 01:09:39,759
microphones. Uh we had a little trouble
with the last video. We're hoping this

821
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:46,480
video turns out better. Uh if these
microphones don't work, uh we had to

822
01:09:43,279 --> 01:09:51,359
enhance the audio on the last video to
even make it where you can hear it. So,

823
01:09:49,279 --> 01:09:58,000
I'm hoping these microphones do better.
If not, we may have to try to get some

824
01:09:54,719 --> 01:10:01,400
good microphones.
It's up there.

825
01:10:04,239 --> 01:10:10,640
» But yeah,
and that's it.

826
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:14,000
» And Jeremy Abrams, we got that
straightened out,

827
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:18,560
» right? Exactly. Have a look at your back
with me. Yeah. Yes, we do.

828
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,560
» Okay.

829
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,600
Okay.

830
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:30,560
» Well, I thought we'd wait to see what
the video quality was and then you know

831
01:10:28,239 --> 01:10:36,159
like
it's going to cost us between about 275

832
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:40,960
to around 500. Of course, you can spend
as much money as you want, but I thought

833
01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:48,640
somewhere around there I found some
pretty decent ones for 275. I think you

834
01:10:45,679 --> 01:10:54,560
step up a little bit about 350 and the
next step is about 500

835
01:10:51,199 --> 01:11:00,880
or so like that. So we'll see how this
turn out and we'll see where we're at.

836
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:05,760
Anybody else got anything other
comments?

837
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:08,719
» Yeah, I'm with Brian here. He's with V3
Engineering down in Bartville.

838
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:16,080
» Okay.
>> And I plan too. Just thought I'd bring

839
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:22,120
him over and introduce himself. I take
care of all the

840
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,120
speak for yourself.

841
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,760
» You're not doing any favors.

842
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:35,520
» Greg worked for me one point in time,
but uh

843
01:11:33,679 --> 01:11:40,000
he he thought it might be good for me to
come out and introduce myself to you

844
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:43,920
folks. Um, I operate the satellite
office for the company in in

845
01:11:41,679 --> 01:11:49,520

town, south of Wilber. And, uh, we

846
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:56,640
mainly run surveying out of that office,
but we do have engineering as well. And,

847
01:11:53,440 --> 01:12:02,239
um, our Indianapolis office is is the
the main hub with the majority of the

848
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:06,560
staff. Uh, but we're a full service firm
and if there's ever anything that that

849
01:12:04,480 --> 01:12:13,360
we might be able to do to help you guys
out, we'd love to talk with you some

850
01:12:09,440 --> 01:12:18,640
more. And um, our director, our regional
director in Indianapolis, she's actually

851
01:12:15,199 --> 01:12:24,320

from Indian Creek and such but uh um

852
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:29,440
when I tal told her I was going to count

another commitment but uh be glad to
bring bring her out as well. She's a

858
01:12:52,400 --> 01:13:02,800

859
01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:08,239
uh you know I'm local, local office, but
u anyway that's that's that.
