[0:00] indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

[0:09] » Back on here has got a little something he want to

[0:13] share with us about the uh

[0:17] it's uh I mentioned it to you guys a couple months ago about the uh

[0:23] new water uh leader system. So Cameron Okay.

[0:28] » Okay. So you guys can take a look at that as well.

[0:31] » Yeah. Uh, hi there. My name is Cameron. I'm with Metron here out of uh, Boulder,

[0:38] Colorado. Um, I had actually give Joe a call a couple months ago. I don't know

[0:42] where to like stay. Um, I gave a call a couple months ago

[0:47] just to come by just to see what your guys' meter system looked like. Um, so

[0:50] we sat down for about 20 minutes and I just kind of went over um, our software,

[0:55] our meters and kind of what we do. So um Metron car has been around for 30 plus

[0:59] years. Um what we do is we have cellular water meters. So very very similar to

[1:03] what Badger uh does. The difference between our meters and anyone else in

[1:08] the market is we provide one minute data. So you get 1440 reads per day

[1:14] that's sent directly to uh water scope which is and this was the platform and

[1:18] software I wanted to show you. I wish I was able to throw it up on there but I

[1:21] did not come. Um, some of the customers that we

[1:25] currently service here in Indiana are Campbellburg, Scottsburg, uh, city of

[1:30] Bristol. I also talking with obviously you guys. Uh, I chatted with Reville

[1:35] Water last week and as well as I went up to Tiffan earlier this morning. Um,

[1:40] what's nice about this is this will give you a leak determination. So, it will

[1:45] tell you all your previous reads from the day before cuz our register kicks on

[1:49] at midnight and gives you every read from midnight to 11:59 p.m. Um, what's

[1:54] really nice about that is this will actually help with with increasing with

[1:57] customer service. So, if you ever have somebody call say, "Hey, we have an

[2:01] issue with our meter or with our water bill like it's too high." You're able to

[2:05] give this software to your consumers so they can actually see where that meter

[2:09] where that actually occurred. So what's nice about that is everyone here I'm

[2:14] assuming has snowbirds. So like chopped out in Florida cuz they don't want to be

[2:17] here for the winter months. Sometimes that bottom that basement um toilet gets

[2:22] flushed and that flat valve gets stuck and then that it just continues to run.

[2:26] Right. This will give you an alert down to the exact minute of when that

[2:29] actually happens. Um and like I said what's nice about that is battery life

[2:33] on here is 23 years. Um we have a warranty on it for uh 20. It's prorated

[2:38] after 10 years and it goes through Verizon AT&T. Um, and then if you guys

[2:43] have any trouble spots for some of their service, we have easy fixes for that as

[2:46] well. Now, on the meter itself, which comes with our register, that's nice.

[2:51] But if you guys also just want the water scope data, we can retrofit 95% of our

[2:56] registers on to what you guys are using now. And I think you mentioned is a

[2:59] census or two. >> Nebu. Um the other thing too uh the old

[3:05] CEO of Census is actually on our board because when he left Census he firmly

[3:10] believed that we are eventually going to be the top market and I think that that

[3:14] speaks volumes for just who we are. So that's all I got for you.

[3:20] » Any questions answer and you're talking about this register

[3:24] right here comes off.

[3:30] » Yep. And what's nice too is not only do you get um the meter or register, you

[3:35] get uh 10 years of Verizon or AT&T service plan that goes on top of that so

[3:40] that you're not paying Verizon or AT&T separately cuz and that's why we that's

[3:45] the reason we're really good is we deal with them so it doesn't make your guys

[3:49] bill overly expensive and the software doesn't come with any cost you

[3:53] » everything comes with the price of the meter. Yep. We're not going to charge

[3:57] you guys a service fee annually. We are not going to say, "Oh, by the way, you

[4:00] have to pay X amount." Is here's a meter, here's a register, that's what

[4:04] the cost is. And what's nice, too, is once they're in the ground, it's

[4:08] installed today, read tomorrow. So, if we were to put this on any of your guys'

[4:11] houses, we would get a read, right? If everything got installed right now at

[4:15] 6:00, we'd have read from 6:00 p.m. to midnight and then it just continues.

[4:22] So without look at that like is there any

[4:26] apps or future apps? >> Yep. So we actually are working on our

[4:31] water scope and utility app too. Um we have the number one just came out right

[4:35] now but you can actually have that as well. So if Joe's out like looking at

[4:38] it, he can have all that access right on his phone. And same thing for the

[4:41] consumer as well.

[4:46] » I'd love to ask a question. Sure. So, we're looking at a lot of houses go

[4:52] out community in 10 years. That'd be one hell of an excessive bill on cell

[4:57] phones. Is there a way to transfer this over to

[5:01] something better? Is there a better deal with Verizon or AT&T where this is not

[5:06] where we're paying $60 per meter? That that is a ridiculous.

[5:11] » Oh, that's outrageous. Absolutely. Yeah. you would go back for us, have it react

[5:14] up for us because then we can get that plan back on once you date you're about

[5:18] 10 years in one day. >> So 10 years we're hoping you guys are

[5:21] still going to be around us or you can keep going.

[5:24] » Yep. >> Yep.

[5:27] » So when those meters freeze >> um there they can as anything can once

[5:32] you get below 32 degrees. We do have meter jacks as well. Um but the other

[5:36] thing with the water scope is it actually tells you the temperature of

[5:39] the meter in of itself. So if you feel like you're going to have any one that's

[5:42] going to freeze you're going to be trouble, you can actually get ahead of

[5:44] the game by looking on water scope and then taking action that way.

[5:49] » So you can't replace the bottom of me. >> You can't push the bottom of the meters

[5:56] up chest. You can flip it over and take four bolts out,

[5:59] » pull the cap off of it and put it on. >> Yeah. With with this, if you have meter

[6:04] freeze, send it back to us. So we need a warranty still.

[6:07] » So we're sending back to Boulder Colorado.

[6:10] And you're looking at four to six weeks. >> Uh 3 to four weeks as of right now. Um

[6:15] if it's anything like that, I'm out here every two weeks traveling the entire

[6:19] state of Indiana. Um I dropped off 20 pitbound antennas to this morning. So I

[6:25] don't mind hand delivering it if I absolutely need to. If I can put it in

[6:28] my check bag, I'll bring it to you. But yes, three or four most of the time.

[6:32] » Do you recommend that a certain number be stock replacements? So that's really

[6:37] up to you guys and how you guys want to do that. I would always recommend having

[6:41] a couple extra on hand just in case because it's better to have it and need

[6:44] it than need it and not have it. >> When we got units that are not being

[6:49] used, can they can the sell services be put on hold or not being charged for it?

[6:54] » See the problem is with holding meters in a box and the meter if it's 2025 the

[7:00] meter can be used at 2128. That meter's 2 years old. So you've already lost two

[7:04] years your warranty. You don't really want a whole bunch of

[7:07] » Yeah, I would say 20 maybe a box four table maximum like and if you're having

[7:12] that while we wouldn't be in business.

[7:20] » Any other questions I can answer for you guys?

[7:22] » Do do we have a number of communities that we could reach out to and ask how

[7:26] this perform you have these installed? >> Yeah, absolutely.

[7:29] » For how many years now? Um, I believe that a couple of us, uh, Togo Lake has

[7:33] been on board with us since 2021. Um, I'd have to go back back through and

[7:38] look. I think a couple of my customers have been with us since 2019. And I'll

[7:41] be very honest with you, I started with the company just in April of this year,

[7:44] but I my dad works in Waterworks for Corn Main. So, my joke is like I've been

[7:48] around the water business since I was six.

[7:51] » So, >> yeah. I mean, hearing how they're

[7:55] performing in installations, we've been there several years, but

[8:00] Yeah, I can get references through Lake, Campbellburg, Scatsburg, Gibson Water,

[8:05] Pat Gibson, uh, Water Authority, uh, Bristol as well. Um, and then obviously

[8:10] Connorsville right now they're doing a pilot with us. So they just got 10

[8:13] meters in the ground this week and then I'm going to follow up in 30 60 90 days

[8:17] just to see how the beers are performing and what they want to do from there.

[8:23] » Do you have a demo program where you where we can test out?

[8:27] » Um, potentially. Yeah. So, what I was telling Joe is look at doing a pilot

[8:31] program. So, 10 m or a box a box is 20 and we'll do a year of sell service on

[8:37] those so you guys can try them out. And what I do is I knock the cost down from

[8:41] our normal 395. I quoted Joe 380 on them. But if you guys wanted to try the

[8:46] pilot out, I could do $300 for it with a year of service. And then again, same

[8:50] thing follow up from there. That's what Conorville is doing right now.

[9:01] All right. Any additional questions? Awesome. Well, I just really appreciate

[9:06] you guys' time. Thanks for letting me present. Thank you. Thank you.

[9:19] » All right. Some new towns hall. Well, they started today. Did they?

[9:25] » Yeah, they started doing the concrete work today. And uh let's see. There was

[9:32] a couple things on there. Uh the additional table.

[9:38] Uh I think it probably be a good time if we're going to do that to add it in

[9:43] before we get too much further. You know, they want usual

[9:49] cost. But are you talking about that being a

[9:53] part of this contract or just a separate contract? It's going to be a separate at

[9:57] the same time. >> Yeah, but at the same time extra so to

[10:01] speak. I think the price was quoted was $17,200

[10:07] for that or 17,400. >> It's in the minutes.

[10:11] » And uh

[10:17] » I guess it isn't. >> Yes. Uh, you guys want to consider that?

[10:23] » 17,400. >> Yeah. 17,400. Yeah.

[10:29] Uh, it'd be a good time probably to do that.

[10:33] » And I noticed the exterior painting didn't get included in as well.

[10:41] And I think the we okay did the the painting for $15,000 is going it be an

[10:49] extra ticket contract because it wasn't part of that the

[10:54] original bid and it wasn't actually part of the scope of work in the on the plans

[11:01] » the windows we we didn't took care of that that's that's in contract

[11:05] » well but but you would make the painting part of the contract with roads

[11:09] » yes >> the paving you just have a ping

[11:11] contractor do that separate? >> Uh, well, we actually I got to price the

[11:15] rubbish for that, you know, extra. I told you to get right to the contractor,

[11:19] see what it cost us extra from that. >> Okay.

[11:23] » So, uh, I guess you know the council

[11:29] uh, do we need to reapprove these 15,000 for the painting?

[11:33] » I think you need to authorize it. >> Authorize the exchange order.

[11:36] » Yeah. >> Okay. So, is that what you guys like to

[11:39] do? authorize a change order for 15,000 for the painting

[11:42] » and and authorize you to go ahead and sign it.

[11:44] » Yeah. Authorize me to sign that and uh also how about you guys?

[11:52] » I think we should just because you know snow removal. Um

[11:58] » easy access into the back of the building.

[12:02] That's my thoughts. I think we should do it too.

[12:07] » While we're while we're doing it, we probably should do it or probably will

[12:11] not get done. >> Probably will.

[12:18] Does anybody want to make a motion to approve the painting? Oh, the the

[12:21] painting for 17,400 motion.

[12:24] » I'll second. >> All in favor say I. I.

[12:29] » Are you combining those? So you you're approving the painting of 15,000 and

[12:33] paying 174, >> right?

[12:35] » And authorizing a change order for both >> for both

[12:38] » and authorizing you to sign. >> Yes. Is that what Yes. Yep.

[12:43] » Okay. >> Okay. Let's see. What else is involved?

[12:49] Oh, we had a a pay application for mobilization

[12:55] here and then the amount

[13:00] this will be probably the materials and the startup cost of the job. It's going

[13:05] to be $16,3110

[13:10] and we'll be paying for that the our our portion of of what the town hall I think

[13:16] we decided up to 90,000. U so we'll be paying for that initially

[13:22] from that. So I need the council to make a motion

[13:27] to approve >> and that that is the signature of the

[13:30] architect down there. >> Yes, it is. And

[13:33] » I don't know who that is, but >> huh.

[13:36] » Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah.

[13:37] » That's the Miller or March Miller. >> Yeah.

[13:39] » Okay.

[13:43] » Now, do we got to run all these pay applications through the architect? Is

[13:46] that part of that? >> Well, I think that's part of what

[13:48] they're doing for us. Yeah. >> Okay. Okay.

[13:51] » And it always feels good to know that they were going to change.

[13:56] » Well, I I would ask them to just because they'll keep using the AIA forms.

[14:00] » Okay. >> And they did the personal for us. So,

[14:02] » okay, that sounds good. I didn't know, >> you know, because by doing this, we have

[14:06] a way of keeping the running total and the adjusted contract sum and

[14:10] » right, >> it is a way to kind of keep the contract

[14:14] in order. >> In order.

[14:15] » Yeah. Okay. I wasn't sure about that. >> All right.

[14:25] » You second. >> All in favor say I.

[14:29] » I. Then behind that we've got uh a free

[14:34] service job free service. We already okay this in in the last meeting. This

[14:40] is just his uh invoice for the payment. >> It's very vague. I'm sorry.

[14:45] » It's very It's not a very good copy. I'm sorry. But

[14:48] » No, it's not a very good copy. $600 on there.

[14:52] » Yeah. >> Can't really tell. It's a little light.

[14:54] That's the amount. So the emotions go pretty bad.

[15:00] [Applause] motion.

[15:03] All >> say I

[15:07] uh Okay.

[15:11] Uh Lori Laura Elliot, we got her here. >> Yes, she did.

[15:20] That >> we don't have it in our back. This

[15:25] little one here. And then we got two. So this is what you

[15:30] had asked for the last meeting.

[15:35] I can't do that. Um but I but what I did what I did see

[15:41] is that it started back in um the August the 26th of 2023.

[15:50] So these are a lot of these are just small amounts of time hours.

[15:56] So it is it is um so it's not like it's once a year

[16:03] it's she continues it on till we use all our time and we were actually

[16:08] and needed to do some work but we had to wait till this meeting because if you're

[16:12] not using the contract hours [Applause]

[16:19] and so I looked over these hours we you know we take the amount of money divided

[16:25] by the amount of time she gives us. It's And since she's going to she's going to

[16:32] carry it over, I I think we should choose the more hours because it's going

[16:37] to be for a lot less per hour.

[16:46] 2480 is going to be

[17:00] you know, and and I wanted to mention too, I I think that

[17:06] I mean, if we didn't go with if we didn't stay with this, we would have to

[17:10] scrap the whole web page and website and start over. So, we obviously want to

[17:16] keep going because we've already got it established. But I I wanted to let

[17:20] everybody know that Laura um I think she goes over and she goes out to business

[17:29] locations and takes pictures and a lot of I can't say a lot but some of the

[17:36] stuff she does she doesn't charge us for.

[17:44] » Tell me last. I didn't have >> two years.

[17:49] » Yeah. >> Two years almost to the day.

[17:57] » I think 80 hours or so.

[18:02] » Yeah. What do you think, Jeremy?

[18:08] I want to make a motion that motion.

[18:15] » All in favor say I. >> All right.

[18:21] Let's see here. Next we got invoices from police and Frank.

[18:32] Let's see what the first one we got here is. This is uh

[18:40] professional services of the engineering final. So what we got here is the

[18:48] bidding pro bidding contract administration

[18:54] and the project RPR uh total $4,000

[19:02] on the first invoice and one right behind that. This one is

[19:09] for contract administration, $5,500.

[19:14] And the one in the very back, this is for the consumer report

[19:19] uh paperwork they did for us that should be coming out in the water.

[19:25] Pretty good.

[19:28] So, anybody want to make a motion to approve uh the $4,000

[19:34] invoice? >> Okay. All in favor say I.

[19:39] » I. >> Anybody want to make a motion for the

[19:41] $5,500 invoice? >> I'll make a motion. Second.

[19:46] » All in favor say I. >> I.

[19:49] » And the consumer report for 5335.

[19:55] Second. >> All in favor say I.

[19:58] » I. Okay.

[20:03] Now this is going to be the pay application from science.

[20:15] [Music]

[20:18] » Yeah. 14,365.

[20:33] 14,775 14

[20:38] it's a total 14,3645 payment that you got your retain

[20:44] withheld 73875

[20:49] motion,775.

[20:54] » All in favor say I. I. 14,362.51,451

[20:59] [Applause]

[21:13] minus the retaining $1,7029.

[21:22] I'll make a motion that be approved to pay out $20,3542.

[21:28] [Applause] >> Say I

[21:37] see

[21:41] uh course everybody knows David Johnson

[21:46] fire and Jeremy has agreed to take up that

[21:50] position. Uh, we need to officially appoint Jeremy

[21:55] to the fire territory board. >> I'll make a motion we approve.

[22:02] » All in favor say I. I

[22:08] donation applied. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations.

[22:13] [Music]

[22:16] Thank you. Uh, as usual, the council

[22:22] uh usually contributes a little bit of money to the colonel day colonel water

[22:26] day committee. And I'm going to ask him once again uh for $500 donation

[22:32] to the Colonel Water for the promotion of the town. And that's how we'll be

[22:37] paying for it out of the town's promotional funds.

[22:42] So, anybody want to make a motion to donate $500 to the current owner

[22:46] committee? I'll make a motion. >> I'll second.

[22:50] » All in favor say I. >> I.

[22:54] » Property line survey of new town hall. Uh

[22:59] I guess we may want to get that the property survey down there. I say it's

[23:04] probably March. It is

[23:15] » I did a survey over a while back for Walker and

[23:22] Meredith. >> Okay.

[23:26] » We may be able to get a copy of that survey.

[23:28] » Everything's recorded. >> Okay. It may be recorded down there's

[23:33] office. I can check on that. Okay. Well, let's uh let's look at that before we uh

[23:39] jump the gun on that. One thing though is I've been in contract with David

[23:44] Johnson's property on you know they to one of his markers in that project and

[23:48] we all agreed to get him surveyed. I I called that guy. He said he'd give me a

[23:53] price and he never did. I left a message with him again and he hasn't responded.

[24:00] So, I'm gonna try to leave you one more message and I said if you don't respond

[24:04] in a week or so, maybe we can try and find somebody else.

[24:08] » Yeah. So, you guys ain't got a problem. >> I don't have a problem if I need to.

[24:12] Okay. >> If he doesn't get back to

[24:17] » Okay. Yeah. what we need to do. Um

[24:23] [Music]

[24:26] the old town hall, I think. Uh yeah. Are we are we thinking about selling that

[24:33] and put the proceeds towards the new town hall? Cuz if we are, we're probably

[24:37] going to need to get some bids on some appraisals

[24:41] and start that process. It probably wouldn't be too early to start that

[24:44] process, you know, cuz that takes some time. Probably have to get another three

[24:49] or four appraisers like we did last time. Pick the two best and it's going

[24:54] to be the average of the two, right? Is that how that work?

[25:00] » We got to put that out for seal bids. Is that the way that would work?

[25:04] » Yeah, you can you can employ an auctioneer if you decided to do that

[25:07] instead, but I don't know whether you gain anything that way or not.

[25:12] But we still have to have appraised. The first step in the process is

[25:17] to to have the two appraisals done. And uh

[25:24] it can be you know an appraiser or some uh a real a licensed real estate broker

[25:32] or it can be an employee of the town who's knowledgeable about the values of

[25:35] the property.

[25:39] And we, you know, I think if it's something that is just property unload

[25:45] that has really insignificant value, you can kind of get away with that. Save the

[25:48] money crazy. But I think here you probably want to be pretty precise on

[25:53] what that what it's fair market value is to guide you on, you know, what is a

[25:59] good price for it. So if we find an appraisal, it's not going to charge a

[26:04] whole lot. It's not a sophisticated appraisal. And I think Joe, we don't

[26:07] need I mean, I I'd almost ask for like an

[26:11] opinion and value, right? Rather than a full-blown

[26:15] appraisal with an appraisal report. And sometimes the appraisers, if they're

[26:20] simply writing an opinion value, will charge a good deal less because they

[26:24] don't have the work in the report itself.

[26:28] Um, I before we like go any further with that, I'd like to talk with Michelle

[26:34] Remax because she actually took extra classes for that. She probably can't say

[26:40] she'll do it for free, but it probably work.

[26:43] » Well, if she do it even for less, uh, that would be helpful.

[26:48] » But yeah, if you know some, I'm happy to do that, too. I I think if we could

[26:52] identify a couple and get them to kind of commit ahead of time what the cost is

[26:56] going to be then those are the two you want to use.

[26:58] » So that >> I guess tonight you're just trying to

[27:02] figure out whether the council's ready to move forward, right?

[27:04] » Yeah. If you guys want to move forward with that and uh if you do, we'll pursue

[27:09] uh get some some pricing on that. >> I do. I think it would open up for more

[27:14] businesses downtown. I'm off for that. >> Okay.

[27:19] Well, I don't think we want to do that. I'll just try to get most of you or you

[27:25] want me to I I can we both can, but I I'll I'll see if I can get get some

[30:33] » I think I

[30:37] did. So it's actually resolution

[30:42] 20.5-8.

[30:46] » Yes. >> And

[30:50] these were some miscellaneous trans uh transfers to

[30:56] bring everything to a balance. Um

[31:02] like we transfer money to the payload and a little bit in the garage motor

[31:17] pretty much squaring up above

[31:27] water is due to

[31:32] the budget. We had a little walk.

[31:39] So maybe next year be a little better. Anybody want to make a motion to approve

[31:44] 2025 cash transfer?

[31:49] Second. >> All in favor say I.

[32:07] [Music]

[32:12] budget request here.

[32:20] And uh you guys got this one table next to me.

[32:25] » Budget request. >> Okay.

[32:28] » Well, our public hearing is next. >> You need to share it.

[32:32] » Our public hearing is next month. I've heard you entered it in gateway.

[32:39] » I mean, just >> if you just want to look at it.

[32:46] Awesome,

[32:59] man.

[33:10] recent.

[33:17] » All right.

[33:23] » And I think I went through quite a bit of trouble and

[33:30] try to get this all balanced out. U

[33:37] he's asked to for increase for the full-time police officer and u he's he's

[33:43] also asked for the corresponding reductions in the department budget

[33:49] to help me make up for that pay increase

[33:57] down here at the bottom he he lays it out just the way we did it to and the

[34:03] total amount required is to fund proposed 4% raise of full-time police

[34:07] officers is $7,196.

[34:11] The amount will be fully covered by reallocating the funds for existing

[34:16] budget line items. Specifically, $3,000 will come from the eliminating the

[34:20] overtime budget line item, which as of today's date has not had any expenditure

[34:27] in troop in in 2025, and the additional 3,900 will be taken from the police

[34:32] equipment uniforms line and cate which I believe have consistently returned

[34:37] unused funds, the general fund for each year.

[34:43] And that's basically where he's getting the thoughts.

[34:49] » It makes sense.

[34:56] » Anybody want to make a motion to approve this?

[35:00] » Yeah. >> Okay.

[35:05] And uh

[35:17] well I don't fill this out. I don't I don't know. We got three

[35:24] health three personnel right now. Uh

[35:30] K didn't ask for a 3% raise. I put this down there. Uh Kyle, was you asking for

[35:36] a raise for your department? >> Yes.

[35:41] » I checked the budget and it's it's well within the water rate budget and the

[35:46] sewer rate budget. It's only since they only make up 1% of that rate increase.

[35:52] Um

[35:56] any plan on purchasing new vehicles? There was a plan on purchasing a dump

[36:01] trailer about $15,000. Plan on paying for that

[36:06] pretty much if you sell the dump truck. >> Mhm.

[36:09] » And get it down to almost nothing. We did manage to get the dump truck fixed

[36:13] today. >> Yes.

[36:15] » Except the old >> Yes.

[36:19] So, uh uh you haven't looked at that yet on No. Trying to get it all done for

[36:27] you. So, there's no other equipment. Uh, we

[36:33] have planned on building a new utility building up here for the last couple

[36:38] years. We ask that the council maybe look at

[36:42] that and next year's budget and uh try to prove that. I did get a portion of

[36:49] that money put into the new water rates. Uh, the water department's portion of

[36:53] that would be already accounted for. uh

[37:00] we would have to look at uh other ways to

[37:05] pay for the rest of it. Maybe we could finance it

[37:11] or

[37:14] and most likely that's what we have to do because it's it's not going to be in

[37:18] the pursuit study have. So,

[37:27] and the mini road roller. I think the thought is there is maybe we can do some

[37:32] of our own patching around here. We can order we can get the uh hot patch and

[37:38] put it in the trailer and take care of some of this patch. We have

[37:46] whatever we're trying to get done this year. What

[37:49] » was that contractor we we hired? to come in and do patching

[37:56] » walls. They haven't got to be here this week. Yeah, he said last week Friday or

[38:02] something, but they never showed up. So, we should be seeing the same. And the

[38:08] salt budget was already done. 3600 bucks for a year.

[38:14] This is remember this is just a a uh a budget proposal.

[38:22] Anybody got any problems with this?

[38:27] » No. >> Okay.

[38:38] Um right. you got anything?

[38:44] » Um, just the pictures that you guys have of the of the crash. Um,

[38:50] I've got a couple copies of a of an estate

[38:56] well the body shop here in town. It ended up being a little different

[39:02] than what we talked about originally, but um

[39:08] Jared um ran into a deer the other evening.

[39:13] Um and and there's also um some repairs on that quote that um that the council

[39:19] actually previously um approved this fix and we just never got around to it due

[39:23] the vehicle issues, the hole in the floorboard.

[39:26] Um there are a couple errors in this quote. he has tax on it, so that would

[39:31] need to be adjusted. But my first question would be with that total, do we

[39:37] want to uh turn it in on the town's $1,000 deductible or just pay that out

[39:42] of pocket? And then also,

[39:46] if I could go ahead and get the approval to go ahead and get this fixed done with

[39:50] Danny, just be a little bit more convenient to

[39:53] keep it here in town. Yeah. So,

[39:58] » correct. >> 15333.

[40:03] And I

[40:06] » Yeah. And then I I also think it it would be fair to say minus the 200 for

[40:10] the hole in the floor, too, cuz that wasn't caused by the

[40:14] » Okay. >> It's just simpler for her to to fix it

[40:17] all while he was here or why it's there. It also has a door hinge issue that he

[40:23] uh he forgot to put on this quote and when we reached out to him, he said that

[40:26] it was his fault. He would just take care of it free of charge. So, for not

[40:30] including it, >> I think we should avoid.

[40:45] So, if it's all right with you guys, he said that he would actually start it

[40:48] this upcoming weekend and get it fixed over the weekend for us.

[40:52] » Okay.

[40:55] 1500. >> I'll make a motion.

[40:59] All >> favor say I.

[41:02] » All right.

[41:05] How much is it?

[41:12] » Yeah. Um, we don't have any power at the eent

[41:18] meter. Um, be close to get that fixed. It's about $5,000.

[41:27] That's new wire from the building up to the dock

[41:31] and

[41:35] that roof generator.

[41:40] » Yeah. So, what happened? Our wires got cut somewhere on the other end and we

[41:45] don't know where it's at. And uh >> we got no power down there.

[41:51] » And that comes all the waste water. >> Yeah. All my waste water.

[41:57] » Was there do you remember there was nothing in budget for something like

[42:03] that? Do you know just having to get another

[42:08] » Yeah, the waste water's in fairly good shape.

[42:17] You know, >> we do have

[42:20] repairs. >> Yeah. I mean, it is repair and we have

[42:25] had a whole actually we have had a little bit of sewer repair this year

[42:31] up there and it cost us a little bit.

[42:40] You know, our operating right now are about

[42:45] 99,000

[42:48] 835.

[42:56] So,

[43:00] you know, something like question got. I mean, we could try to find

[43:08] somebody to do it cheaper, but I mean, it's got to be time.

[43:14] » I can always move money around

[43:19] if there isn't enough >> in

[43:23] $5,000. $4,955. He didn't give me He didn't really give

[43:27] me a quote. I'm sorry. He just texted to me. So, it's very electric.

[43:36] » Yeah. >> Station.

[43:38] Yeah. >> So, I guess we just need to get luxury

[43:41] to go through it. >> You don't think anyone else would be

[43:44] cheaper? >> I don't really. I mean, the wire is the

[43:49] most expensive part. The wires that I sell right now. So yeah,

[43:55] » where would you normally take something like that out? Which one of the funds?

[44:00] » Repair and maintenance contractual. >> Yeah, contraction.

[44:12] » It's 1361. It should be 620

[44:18] 1 1361. [Music]

[44:22] around that. But like I said, if there's not enough

[44:26] money in there, I can always move it from something else.

[44:39] Or we could we also can if it wasn't enough in there cuz I was just like

[44:44] trying to keep up with this like we're budgeting for next year. If we did do

[44:48] something like this out of this, can we can we negative can we negative a

[44:53] balance and and and leave it like that till the end of the year and at the end

[44:58] of the year we figure out where to move the money so that uh so we know how to

[45:03] like budget that for next year. >> Well, that's what those transfers are

[45:08] that I do, >> moving money around. And I want I'm

[45:13] trying to keep it all in the positive as much as possible.

[45:23] How much does it show that's in there?

[45:31] [Applause]

[45:44] Uh, there's not much left. $58,158.

[45:49] [Music]

[45:54] » Yes.

[45:57] » So, we're going to have So, I'll have to find it. Uh, but I see that in other

[46:01] services and charges we've got $11,512.

[46:07] So I could move money from there to that.

[46:11] » What are some Do you know where I am now? What are some of the charges we

[46:15] use? Is that for the other >> anything that's unusual?

[46:20] » Okay. >> That is not normally a monthly.

[46:24] » Okay. >> Expense.

[46:26] » Okay. I just I think this budget is a really good idea. Something Morgan

[46:31] Town's never had. I think it's good because then we can really um we can

[46:36] really narrow things down and see how much you're spending and everything

[46:42] in the utilities. [Music]

[46:47] » Motion to approve the 4,955.

[46:54] » Second. I'll second. All in favor say I. One more thing.

[47:01] Um, you guys had a hard time with $5,000.

[47:06] Our perfusion pumps at the lagoon two area went bad. 12 year 12 years of use.

[47:14] Um, get those rebuilt and um $20,500.

[47:21] Yeah. So I think we'll be able to do one of those a quarter. So what we should

[47:27] say here? >> Yeah. I told him that I think we could

[47:31] do that. >> Yeah. That's just get the ones out of

[47:34] balance mix right >> you know to do them all at once it would

[47:40] really deplete the money. But if if he tried to do one a quarter

[47:45] » or at least >> every 3 months. Um I we they've got our

[47:51] pumps >> repaired.

[47:54] » Not really. >> They got our pumps.

[47:55] » They have our pumps. >> They have Yeah.

[47:58] » Right. Um I didn't didn't ask. >> So what we down to two?

[48:05] » We have one in cell one and one in cell two.

[48:09] » Yeah. >> It's kind of noticeably showing our

[48:14] sampling. Yeah. We're not getting the information that we need.

[48:20] » Yeah. Not something that we thought would happen, but after 12 years and now

[48:25] I'm, you know, continuously running just

[48:32] » my thoughts on it are, you know, just looking at the different funds that the

[48:37] state buses have. I I just I think our bills for now for water and everything

[48:44] there are. I know we can use some infrastructure funds. I don't know if

[48:48] nobody's a big fan of it, you know, because the water company has

[48:52] to stand on its own feet. People in town don't realize that that water company is

[48:57] a totally separate business. They really don't understand this.

[49:01] » They don't. >> And I understand I mean here they are in

[49:04] town and they have this one town and they think it's all together, but it's

[49:08] very separate. >> It's a hard thing to get people to

[49:10] grasp. and our our infrastructure has fallen apart and here we are. You know,

[49:15] we don't >> and we do got some excessive sludge

[49:18] build up in the pond which is not helping

[49:24] we've got I talked to Lori about it. So, >> I was going to ask that because you know

[49:28] back it wasn't it wasn't Lori and Jill and it was Wesler I think but

[49:34] » those were crucial they call them the bubblers or or whatever those things

[49:38] were at the time but Were you sending that? You weren't.

[49:44] » Well, they had for these air raators in the lagoon and the lagoon was it was

[49:49] pretty crucial that because of the sludge build up that um

[49:56] we were going to lose that, you know, the risk being that there was going to

[49:59] have to be significant dating done and ultimately then if the lagoons failed,

[50:04] we'd have to go to a conventional plant which you absolutely cannot to do,

[50:08] » right? And I'm shocked to hear that even one of them is not working because they

[50:14] expected to have four and we got a great result when we fired those things up and

[50:18] started moving that water and they're radiating better and I'm surprised that

[50:22] the lagoon can maintain a healthy level if there's not all four running all the

[50:26] time. >> Well, it's just that those levels are

[50:29] going down. I mean, >> well, that would be consistent with what

[50:32] we were told back then. >> Yeah. But I would think that that

[50:35] getting those fixed would just almost be an emergency.

[50:39] » And I'm I don't I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not trying to be a waste water

[50:43] engineer. I'm I'm sharing with you the conversation was had back 12 years ago

[50:48] when these things were purchased. Just to give you some history

[50:53] and say we don't have air movement that water is going to make the it's going to

[50:57] turn into a system. >> Yep.

[51:00] » We can't have that. >> Yeah. And that's, you know, it is pretty

[51:04] critical to get them back up. And, you know,

[51:07] » we have 99,000 and and we could do it >> and we could pay for that 20,500.

[51:17] The monthly payment for the SRF is about 17,000.

[51:23] Um, but we have this month's income to get

[51:28] built back up again. Is it that is it some of this money though like that we

[51:33] have we did that last grade study is some of that for um the next time we

[51:40] have to do a project >> and I asked Sharon so Sharon's going to

[51:45] try to get that u last wastewater study that we did so because it has been a

[51:52] couple years now and I want to make sure I compare that we have to what that

[51:56] study called for to make sure what happened that

[51:59] » yeah we >> well there be a replacement fund right

[52:03] as part of your liability >> there is in the rate study I'm sure

[52:07] there was but it it actually and I don't think we have set aside in on the

[52:12] appropriation >> so that would be under probably the

[52:16] construction >> portion right there

[52:19] » but you know we uh >> well but if it was factored into the

[52:22] rates >> you ought to be collecting that money

[52:25] » it ought to be building up someplace Yeah, it is built and that's probably

[52:28] why we got a higher balance >> and if the rate consult did it right

[52:32] that these these assets

[52:36] » should be factored into yes >> the long-term assets that will need to

[52:40] be replaced

[52:44] » well how much does the new one >> amount for the

[52:48] » how much does a new one cost a fusion pump I mean this

[52:53] » if this is fusion pumps There's pumps in the last 20 years instead of 10 as well.

[53:00] » Yeah. >> Are these things out there in the water?

[53:04] Yeah. >> Just get it done. We have the money that

[53:09] we can just let it replenish. >> That's what we need to do.

[53:16] » Yeah. I guess that's what we're waiting on in God to give us to give a word so

[53:21] we can pay back out there. You might want to make a motion to

[53:25] approve the air ticket of 20,500 bucks. >> I'll make a motion.

[53:35] » All say I

[53:41] » vote

[53:46] I fine

[53:49] » for now. I think $20,000.

[53:55] » All right.

[53:58] Anything else?

[54:03] » I just want to say one thing. Um I wanted to let the council know that we

[54:08] had an issue with the sprinkling credit. Um

[54:12] and that um we discovered it. We had someone come in and say that they didn't

[54:18] they didn't think they got it this month when they received their bill. And so

[54:23] looking back at first we thought it didn't happen originally like in in

[54:27] June, but it did. We did have the sprinkling credit for June. It was on

[54:34] the June bill, but it was not on the July bill. and we don't know what

[54:38] happened because that's something that you

[54:43] click in there and it stays until you take it off. Um,

[54:48] so, um, I just wanted to let everyone know that there's like

[54:53] she's got it down to 113 people that have this earthling credit and she has

[55:00] eliminated uh there was 134, but she eliminated uh the the difference because

[55:07] of people were had moved out or whatever. And so, um, not everybody gets

[55:14] the sprinkling credit even though they may sign up for it because you have it's

[55:20] the average of the winter months, um, is how they how it is, um,

[55:26] calculated in the system. And so, uh, you have to go over that average.

[55:34] So, I just wanted to let everybody know that Becky is working on that. she has

[55:38] the formula on how to figure and she's going to have to manually figure. Now,

[55:43] the next bill that comes out will be fine. It's just for this July bill.

[55:50] And I have a suggestion with that. Um, you know, the people that are getting

[55:56] this, they could have been on this for 10 years. They may not even use that

[56:01] service anymore, but yet they're still getting all these places. This is

[56:04] actually it's costing us money because Becky's

[56:07] had to work, you know, over time to try to figure all this cuz something

[56:11] happened to the system which wasn't our fault. Um, but I think it's a good idea

[56:17] that it says something in there by May the 1st that you you have to be in in

[56:23] order to get this, but then once you sign up, it's like it's a forever pass.

[56:27] I think they just have to come in and sign up every year by May 1st if they're

[56:32] really going to need this credit. >> It seems to be a seasonal

[56:36] » Yeah, it's just from May to like the end of September or something like that in

[56:40] our ordinance. >> Yes,

[56:42] » it should expire in September. >> I I think it should.

[56:46] » And they would have to reapply for that year.

[56:48] » Yeah. And what that does in the system, so Becky when they would come in in May,

[56:53] they fill that out. she go in the system and there go a block where you put a

[56:57] number code and by that number code >> um you know she's only probably going to

[57:03] have a handful probably to 100 or 100 plus

[57:08] » there's people that have asked well I didn't get it but they were signed up

[57:12] for it well if they don't go over their average

[57:16] » you don't get it >> you don't get it

[57:18] » and um so um I just wanted you to be aware

[57:25] that that has happened and we're fixing it.

[57:30] » Is that something that that um I mean I don't know if we do it tonight.

[57:38] We could get on the schedule for next month or whatever to look at that and

[57:42] maybe make that one change. >> Well, we would need to amend the rate

[57:45] ordinance to make that change. You can certainly make the decision tonight and

[57:49] adopt an ordinance at the next meeting or we could you could you could table it

[57:53] for discussion at the next meeting. We've got we've got some time

[57:57] » cuz you know it won't really affect anybody until next year.

[58:02] » Yeah. >> And and and I and I think I I get your

[58:06] point dude. you know, you sign up once you get it forever. But but I think

[58:13] um pe people won't like having to do it every year. What why that will work well

[58:19] with utilities is a lot of people will forget, but then they're going to be

[58:22] angry because they're not getting it anymore.

[58:24] » But that is one way to limit it and make sure people are thinking and making it a

[58:29] point to ask for it every year, not that it gets set and it's just there. Another

[58:34] option I think would be to shorten the term of it.

[58:39] » You know, I don't Does it start in June or May?

[58:42] » It starts in May for June's billing. >> For June's billing,

[58:46] » it's May's uh >> but it's the June billing that you first

[58:49] get the credit, right? Right. >> I mean, I guess you could shorten the

[58:52] term of it or you could cap the credit >> and you could do all of those things.

[58:57] You can see you got to come in May 1st of every year to get it. The credit

[59:00] won't exceed this amount. so that they're not getting as big a credit as

[59:05] they're getting now, >> right? Um, and you could also set the

[59:11] eligibility uh threshold differently than it is now, too, to say if you're

[59:16] not, you know, if you're not exceeding your bill by something greater than what

[59:21] it is now, then you don't get it. So, there there, you know, three or four

[59:25] different moving parts that you could look at to get at this problem if you

[59:28] want to. Not not just not just that they have to do it every year,

[59:33] » but but there are other things you can do to get at it too if you want.

[59:36] » Do it and I'll just I'll look at it, see what I think. You guys can share it or

[59:42] whatever and look at it. I just kind of feel like it's just ran on and it's

[59:46] grown to, you know, a large people. >> Yeah, it's a lot of money.

[59:50] » It's a lot of money. >> Yeah, it is.

[59:54] » 60 people. One person I think was like $70.

[59:59] » And I I I don't mean to make this bigger than it is, but here's the other problem

[1:00:03] with the credit, too. Is >> I think they get it because

[1:00:08] Is it a water credit and sewer or just sewer?

[1:00:11] » It's just >> It's just water.

[1:00:12] » It's just No, it's just sewer. >> Oh.

[1:00:14] » Oh, yeah. >> Yes, it is sewer. It's a town sewage

[1:00:17] work. >> Okay. Then that didn't make any sense.

[1:00:20] Okay. >> Yeah.

[1:00:23] » But but like when she went through that like There's a lot of people they sold

[1:00:27] the home, moved out, somebody's in there, they're getting the correct, you

[1:00:30] know, it just so it's not being really kept up with, looked at.

[1:00:33] » Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[1:00:39] » See, pointless, we got to get a unsafe

[1:00:45] building authority together. And uh I've talked to a couple people

[1:00:51] and I've got a couple people that dream to do it.

[1:00:55] Um, so I I tried to get him to burn just to

[1:01:00] make sure that he was willing to do it. He told me he was. So, uh, Burn Snider,

[1:01:07] Chad Buts, and the third person would be me.

[1:01:12] So, uh, we we really can't move forward from

[1:01:17] where we're at until we make these appointments,

[1:01:21] uh, and we get this, uh, hearing authority into place.

[1:01:26] So, I would make the recommendation that we point these three individuals to the

[1:01:30] unsafe building authority and as long as council locate them.

[1:01:41] Okay. Good. Okay.

[1:01:45] » We forgot prices.

[1:01:50] » Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[1:01:54] Go ahead and do that one. And we table that from last time we was

[1:01:59] here. Jane asked for water credit. And uh you know we I reviewed the

[1:02:08] ordinance uh and the ordinance is pretty clear on

[1:02:16] whether or not this particular uh bill would be eligible for a

[1:02:27] a adjustment. The ordinance uh

[1:02:33] says it's not and the council has the ability to do everything.

[1:02:40] [Music] >> Let's see.

[1:02:43] » Is that enough? >> Yeah.

[1:02:48] [Applause]

[1:02:51] This is the way it is. It has to be an unusually large field.

[1:02:57] In other words, it has to be a field. It has to be sliced in normal

[1:03:01] » bill. Yeah. >> And this is my

[1:03:05] » build. And the it has to be visible or

[1:03:11] detectable on the customer premises only except upon excavation.

[1:03:17] » Yes. >> Or some other disturbance of the

[1:03:19] property and the result of the act of the customer or any agent or contractor

[1:03:26] hired by the customer. So in other words, they had to make some form of

[1:03:30] excavation to find the leak. It it can't be a leaking toilet. That's right.

[1:03:36] » A leaking toilet. We both pay for the water treatment in the toilet and we pay

[1:03:41] for it going down the drain of the toilet.

[1:03:43] » All it is is this. >> So

[1:03:45] » all it is is this. >> It's my opinion that Shane is not

[1:03:49] entitled to a adjustment on this >> and this is for a water adjustment. This

[1:03:56] is for a water and a sewer. Is that correct?

[1:04:00] » I mean, you can adjust the sewer, >> but water.

[1:04:09] » Okay. >> I think she figured it for waste water

[1:04:12] » and [Music]

[1:04:16] that's right. Water and the waste water as well. You know, we did treat it. It

[1:04:21] wouldn't have a sewer. You know, it's not like it was a a leak somewhere else.

[1:04:27] It just went into the yard like a garden or something like that. It actually went

[1:04:31] down the sewer and we had to treat the water.

[1:04:39] Yeah. [Applause]

[1:04:48] » And and you know, here's kind of my take on it is that um

[1:04:55] you know, I would not want to pay this either. I mean, you can see why he's

[1:04:59] upset with it because I think it was like $300

[1:05:05] more, you know, what he wanted to pay. So, there's four tenants in the whole

[1:05:10] building and I think the water leak was downstairs in I I think the water leak

[1:05:17] was downstairs before they do the flower arrangements. Um, but it leaked so you

[1:05:24] know I wanted to mention this in the meeting just so that people know. So if

[1:05:28] you have if you have one meter and you're

[1:05:33] if you have one meter with more than one person on that meter and you get a

[1:05:39] minimum bill which you usually get so say you got four tenants every month you

[1:05:44] pay 483. Well before he was using a 41 he was consuming 4,100 gallons. So in in

[1:05:54] June, he had used double that. But see, our office is not going to be able to

[1:06:00] catch that because his bill was the same as the previous month.

[1:06:03] » Still, >> it's still a minimum bill because you

[1:06:06] get the minimum rate for each one of those tenants. So if you don't go over

[1:06:09] that total, you still get the same bill. So it did not throw up a fight cuz Becky

[1:06:14] in the office, she literally goes through all these pages and every single

[1:06:18] one of these bills looking for that so she can help people. Well, she didn't

[1:06:22] catch it, but the next month in July, it had already been leaking in July, it

[1:06:28] used 27,500. By saw that, so she called. So, that

[1:06:33] went up about an additional $300 cost. But, you know, the only reason I feel

[1:06:41] like the only reason I feel like the ordinance is fair

[1:06:45] because I have tenants and my tenants left the pool running. I I don't I don't

[1:06:51] really feel like it would be fair for the people to take to have to pay for

[1:06:56] that. And at the end of the day, they do because if I'm not paying for it,

[1:07:00] everybody else is pay for it. That's how I feel. I may be wrong if I am. I

[1:07:06] somebody needs to correct me. But that's how I feel about it.

[1:07:10] » Yeah. In the past, this is exactly how we enforce that adjustment ordinance.

[1:07:16] This is the qualification we set for and we didn't make this ordinance but I

[1:07:20] thought it was fair. >> It was back in 2005

[1:07:24] » reasonable [Music]

[1:07:28] decision. >> Is it is everybody online with that

[1:07:33] adjustment or is anybody take the chance to get the adjustment? I mean go ahead.

[1:07:40] I don't know what I read. It wasn't this we can do it if it falls. It says

[1:07:46] pursuant to the code and it says >> how we can do it.

[1:07:51] [Music]

[1:08:00] Okay. All right. I guess that's adjustment

[1:08:06] tonight. The uh

[1:08:12] the Christmas tree that we kind of talking with last year at the at the uh

[1:08:20] new town hall. Does anybody want to pursue that? I talked to to David

[1:08:25] Johnson's father-in-law a little bit about it and I might ask you guys if you

[1:08:30] want to pursue that I get back with you. You know last year we run out of time. I

[1:08:35] thought maybe if we start while still we can get it done

[1:08:39] but it's up to you guys. We had some donation money come through and um um

[1:08:46] actually we bought some stuff but Sharon didn't

[1:08:50] actually use those funds to buy what she bought what was bought last year. So we

[1:08:55] actually have the funds available and could put it towards that if that's what

[1:09:00] we want to do. Or we could use those funds just to maybe dress up the town,

[1:09:05] you know, downtown and wait on the trees till we're done getting moved in the

[1:09:09] building and look at it next next year and maybe Sharon could put a small tree

[1:09:14] in in the new town hall if we get the town hall. So, we got options.

[1:09:20] We should wait until dinner. That's kind of what I Okay.

[1:09:28] All right. uh

[1:09:33] microphones. Uh we had a little trouble with the last video. We're hoping this

[1:09:37] video turns out better. Uh if these microphones don't work, uh we had to

[1:09:43] enhance the audio on the last video to even make it where you can hear it. So,

[1:09:49] I'm hoping these microphones do better. If not, we may have to try to get some

[1:09:54] good microphones. It's up there.

[1:10:04] » But yeah, and that's it.

[1:10:08] » And Jeremy Abrams, we got that straightened out,

[1:10:11] » right? Exactly. Have a look at your back with me. Yeah. Yes, we do.

[1:10:15] » Okay.

[1:10:19] Okay.

[1:10:23] » Well, I thought we'd wait to see what the video quality was and then you know

[1:10:28] like it's going to cost us between about 275

[1:10:33] to around 500. Of course, you can spend as much money as you want, but I thought

[1:10:39] somewhere around there I found some pretty decent ones for 275. I think you

[1:10:45] step up a little bit about 350 and the next step is about 500

[1:10:51] or so like that. So we'll see how this turn out and we'll see where we're at.

[1:10:58] Anybody else got anything other comments?

[1:11:02] » Yeah, I'm with Brian here. He's with V3 Engineering down in Bartville.

[1:11:07] » Okay. >> And I plan too. Just thought I'd bring

[1:11:12] him over and introduce himself. I take care of all the

[1:11:18] speak for yourself.

[1:11:24] » You're not doing any favors.

[1:11:28] » Greg worked for me one point in time, but uh

[1:11:33] he he thought it might be good for me to come out and introduce myself to you

[1:11:37] folks. Um, I operate the satellite office for the company in in

[1:11:41] Martinsville. I live just out west of town, south of Wilber. And, uh, we

[1:11:47] mainly run surveying out of that office, but we do have engineering as well. And,

[1:11:53] um, our Indianapolis office is is the the main hub with the majority of the

[1:11:58] staff. Uh, but we're a full service firm and if there's ever anything that that

[1:12:04] we might be able to do to help you guys out, we'd love to talk with you some

[1:12:09] more. And um, our director, our regional director in Indianapolis, she's actually

[1:12:15] from this area. um her think graduated from Indian Creek and such but uh um

[1:12:21] when I tal told her I was going to count she was she was hoping herself had

[1:12:26] another commitment but uh be glad to bring bring her out as well. She's a

[1:12:32] environmental um specialist and a professional

[1:12:36] geologist. Um but uh again we're you know full service firm. We are regional.

[1:12:42] We have offices in Columbus, Ohio, Charlotte, North Carolina, based out of

[1:12:46] Woodbridge, Illinois, Denver, Colorado. We have an office and head in Alberta

[1:12:52] even. Um, so we're about 450 people, but uh for me it has a small town feel cuz

[1:12:59] uh you know I'm local, local office, but u anyway that's that's that.

[1:13:06] You have any questions feel free to fire away.

[1:13:09] » And what is the name of your company? V3 companies V is in Victor and the number

[1:13:14] three. >> Oh, I see.
