[2:05] » Move to approve resolution 3326.
>> Second.
[2:09] This is a a four-year agreement with uh
Philip Somi and Associates who have been
[2:15] our auditors for the past four years.
This is a three-year agreement, excuse
[2:18] me. They have been our auditors for the
past four years. Um with a slightly
[2:24] escalating scale. Um still very
reasonable compared to what we had been
[2:28] paying years ago and they do a really
great job. So
[2:35] you have any questions?
>> Any questions?
[2:40] That bill used to be almost 60,000.
So I will give her credit for saying
[2:49] no questions. Call the role.

[2:54] » Yes.
>> Yes.
[2:59] » Corporation council.
>> Nothing tonight, your honor.
[3:01] » Director of fire and emergencies.
>> Nothing tonight, your honor.
[3:04] » Director of public works.
>> Several items tonight, your honor. First
[3:07] is item A is resolution 34-26. It's a
resolution authorizing the execution of
[3:13] an amendment of its gas supply agreement
with PIFA Incorporated in connection
[3:17] with the reset of the available discount
in PIFA Incorporated's gas prepayment
[3:22] project uh which includes approving the
issuance of bonds by FE FIFA and related
[3:28] matters.
>> You have a motion.
[3:30] » Move to approve.
>> Second.
[3:34] I don't have a whole lot to add here
other than the programs been been good
[3:38] for Morton, the discount uh and then
also the additional check we get
[3:41] annually to the gas fund. So
I don't know if council would like to
[3:46] add anything but this would be just
continuation.
[3:51] » I don't have anything to add.
>> Any questions for the board?
[3:55] » If not call the roll.
>> Yes.
[3:58] » Middle.
>> Yes.
[4:00] » Yes.
>> Serill.
[4:01] » Yes.
>> Yes. Motion pass.
[4:04] » Next, I'd like to include item B and C
together since they're dependent on each
[4:08] other. Um, this would be the wave of
formal bidding and acceptance of
[4:12] proposal through Sourcewell and from CIT
trucks for a new 2027 Kinworth single
[4:17] axle cabin chassis truck in the amount
of $136,779.
[4:22] Um, this would this does not include in
the cost, but we would uh sell truck 52,
[4:27] which is an '09 Kinworth, and that would
be sold on GV deals with the approval
[4:32] here. Uh, in addition, the truck body uh
accessories, which includes a a plow and
[4:38] a wing plow. I'd like to ask for formal
wave formal bidding and acceptance of
[4:42] proposal for mechanic body and equipment
for dump body plow wing plow and
[4:47] accessories for this new truck in the
amount of $149,298.
[4:53] » Any questions?
>> Move to approve.
[4:57] » Second.
>> Yeah, just to add um we've got nine of
[5:03] these larger trucks, single axle and
tandem in the fleet. Three tandems, six
[5:07] single axles. Um, with the addition of
this wing plow, this would be our fifth
[5:12] wing plow. Um, we have we'd have two on
the tandemss and three on the single
[5:16] axles. Um, just a little bit about the
wing plow. Uh, it's saved us a
[5:20] tremendous amount of time. Um, mainly
because we can go, especially in the
[5:25] residential streets that are 34 foot uh,
face to face of curb, we can now go down
[5:32] there with one pass with a truck behind
us cleaning up to the curb. Uh and then
[5:36] likewise on streets like Courtland, we
can actually go three trucks in tandem
[5:40] and clear all of Courtland. So it's been
a huge time sa saver. Obviously all the
[5:45] guys support and want the wing plow. Uh
originally we had fears of obviously can
[5:50] do a lot of damage too. Um but it's been
great uh country roads to be able to
[5:54] push it back further for drifting. Um so
again we'd like to add that wing plow um
[6:00] to that. Um,
couple of other things just in terms of
[6:06] purchasing this truck. Uh, our average
age of those nine trucks right now is 8
[6:11] and a half years. Um, this is an '09 or
next oldest is an 11 that we would look
[6:17] towards next year or the following. Um,
but with nine of them and going about 17
[6:22] years, we probably should be buying one
at least every other year. Uh, and
[6:26] they're in that, you know, 285 300,000.
probably not going down in price anytime
[6:31] soon is my guess. Uh obviously there's
been an exponential increase over the
[6:35] last five years. Um by purchasing this
truck it would reduce our th those nine
[6:41] trucks from eight and a half years to
6.7 which is good. Um, I think once we
[6:46] get in that average of nine, uh, we did
have a couple storms this year where
[6:51] basically we had two T trucks down at
one time, uh, which can obviously puts a
[6:56] lot of stress on the guys, our mechanic
to keep things moving. So, um, as far as
[7:01] this this truck in general, we had
almost a year wait before. Um, the
[7:07] reason I'm coming to you now before the
budget is there will be a price increase
[7:10] and this will be in the March build. So,
if this gets in the March build with
[7:15] CIT, uh it would be uh we might be able
to see the truck in four weeks after the
[7:20] build um here in March. So, hopefully
we'll see that in a month, which is a
[7:25] lot better than um the year that we've
been experiencing. Uh and then Kanig,
[7:31] their work would be September, October
time frame. Um so hopefully it would be
[7:36] ready to go for uh next snow season. So,
with that, I'd be glad to answer any
[7:41] other questions that any of you might
have.
[7:44] » As I sit in my recliner and watch you go
by my house with the wing plow, I was
[7:52] curious how that was. I didn't pay that
much attention, but I was curious how
[7:57] that was and how much safety that was.
But they're staying away from the curb
[8:01] with the wing and cleaning up with the
next truck.
[8:03] » The next truck. Yeah. And so this would
give us, obviously you got a couple
[8:07] there on the mains, but this would give
us now we're three main routes, so
[8:11] north, east, and south. So we would have
at least a wing on every route, which
[8:15] would be nice, too.
[8:19] » Not to put you on the spot, can you
ballpark that 09? Do you have any idea
[8:22] what you expecting?
[8:26] » I'm just curious.
>> 17 years old. I mean, I would I would
[8:29] maybe 20,000 would be my guess.
>> Sounds good.
[8:33] » Throwing that out there. the 09 that
he's proposing to sell back what what he
[8:36] was ballparking would be this the value
>> that you made on that
[8:40] » I guess but he backed me up with that on
the 20
[8:43] » we sold another single axle within the
last year or so it brought about 12 to
[8:47] 14 or so probably I think it was like
maybe an 04
[8:51] » I figured not much but I was just
curious
[8:53] » and we will have to bring that back to
declare that surplus you will vote on
[8:57] that
>> yes and we've been doing that with like
[8:58] a a list of things at one time Zach's
usually been bringing that forward
[9:05] All right. Call
>> me.
[9:08] » Yes.
>> Terry,
[9:09] » yes. Serilli,
>> yes.
[9:12] » Yes.
>> Leech,
[9:13] » yes.
>> Motion passes.
[9:15] » Lastly is item D. This is ordinance
26-28. This is an ordinance amending the
[9:20] Morton Municipal Code to establish
standards for the construction of
[9:23] facilities on the rightway.
>> A motion move to approve ordinance 2628.
[9:30] » Second. Yeah, this one I've been working
with Pat, Scott Stman, Jamie Bolard, and
[9:36] others for quite some time. Um, Trusty
Leech has been involved some too on
[9:40] this. Uh, we've been working on for a
while. I think it's time to move it
[9:44] forward. I think this is good for all
the citizens in town, including us. Uh,
[9:49] but basically, this would just establish
uniform standards for construction,
[9:53] placement, and maintenance of facilities
within the rightway. Um obviously with
[9:58] the frontiers Comcast I3s
um and and these real this really will
[10:03] help further protect uh public safety
preserving our infrastructure which is
[10:09] big. Uh we've had several hits had a
water mane hit the other night on
[10:13] Idlewood um and to ensure that the work
in the rightway is completed in a safe
[10:17] quarterly and workike manner. So I'm
here to tell you it's not going that
[10:21] well out there. So, I do have a meeting
with Frontier even tomorrow, but we're
[10:25] going to work with all of them.
Frontier, Amaran, I3. Um, this will be a
[10:30] little harder for them obviously on the
front end. Um, you know, some of the
[10:35] bigger changes is permits by specific
um contractors doing the work. Uh, for
[10:41] instance, with Frontier now, Urban's a
contractor, I think we've had 13 subs.
[10:46] Uh, and so it's hard to keep track and
keep tabs on them. we make sure they all
[10:51] have insurance, but it's becoming
tougher and tougher. So, we're going to
[10:54] try to shrink down that process um and
and get a better handle on it. But
[10:59] there's other things in terms of depth,
keeping that at a at a depth between I
[11:04] think it's 18 and 42 in to where if
they're over uh
[11:10] 40 in I believe it is, um they have to
actually do camera work behind. No
[11:15] different than Amarind and the village
of Morton. So if those companies are
[11:19] complaining, we're doing no different
than they are. So once you get below
[11:22] that four or 5 ft, you get into danger
zone. You start and we've had that.
[11:26] We're hitting citizens laterals that
aren't marked. Now they're working to
[11:30] fix it, but that's the danger zone. You
don't find that till a month, two months
[11:33] later, citizens, you know, basement's
backing up with sewage. Um so this will
[11:39] help us really uh get a better control
on that. But it's going to be a little
[11:42] harder for all the utility companies.
But um I think this is a good thing. Um,
[11:47] we could come back to you in 90 days and
make a few amendments as we go forward
[11:50] and find things out, but time is now to
get this implemented and my plans to
[11:54] start tomorrow um to start getting a
little better control out there in the
[11:59] field.
>> Why don't you explain to the trustees
[12:00] the work hours?
>> Uh, work hours is another big one in
[12:03] here. This would actually change it to
their work hours match our 7:30 to 4.
[12:07] So, too often we're finding them going
out after hours when they know it's hard
[12:11] for us to keep up or weekends, whatever.
Now, there is a waiver here where we'd
[12:15] wave it. Obviously, we want to work with
them um you know on the weekends or
[12:19] something uh if there's an emergency or
something like that, but um we're done
[12:23] with trying to help you all week and
then you're scrambling after hours
[12:27] because you know we're not going to do
uh stuff like that. Blind no more blind
[12:30] boring uh which is prohibited anyway.
They're still doing that. Um
[12:36] there's a lot of layers in here. Even at
the end is asbuilt information. And
[12:40] that's probably one of the bigger ones
is providing that documentation within
[12:43] 90 days of where your facilities are
vertical and horizontal. And if they
[12:48] aren't there, then you can remove your
facility from the rightway. So, um, it's
[12:52] it's a nononsense, but I think it's
good. I mean, I think people expect when
[12:55] they come to Morton, um, I think Nate
could attest in the in the world he's
[12:59] in, too, that when you come to Morton,
people know we expect you, you know,
[13:03] when you submit a plan, you build it for
the plans. So, to me, this is no
[13:06] different and it's time to stay on top
of that. I think most importantly, I I'm
[13:11] glad we're here tonight to support our
public works guys, uh, the Blake de
[13:15] Armans, the Aaron Alers that are working
tirelessly as locators to keep up with
[13:20] this work when we're getting exhausted
with Julie tickets and and stuff like
[13:24] that. Um, you know, the other thing, uh,
if I could add, even with Julie, the
[13:29] Julie laws change, it's tougher for all
of us. There's times right now that uh
[13:34] other communities have so many Julies
that Julie Laws changed it to where they
[13:39] can submit a code and they don't have to
locate ours. We are experiencing that
[13:43] when our guys send in to locate. We
can't even do the work in 48 hours
[13:47] because they sent in a code that they
couldn't locate because they don't have
[13:50] time. Why? Because these utility
companies are exhausting the system with
[13:54] Julie. So, while Julie's making new
laws, it's the contractors in the field,
[13:58] in my opinion, that really are hurting
us uh with that. There's not enough
[14:02] people to locate. So, again, we'll be
able to control that by permits and
[14:06] stuff like that, and shrink it down so
that we're protecting our facilities.
[14:10] So, protecting people's front yards,
too, uh aesthetically, even with
[14:14] pedestals, stuff like that. Not that we
might not upset a citizen that it needs
[14:18] to be there, but sometimes we'll get
unsightly um pedestals or real huge.
[14:24] This has got some uh codified some
language in there to give us a little
[14:28] bit more uh as it has to do with
aesthetics and some of those things uh
[14:32] which I think is very important. So
anyway, I'd be glad to answer any other
[14:37] questions. Obviously, I'm very
passionate about this and glad this is
[14:40] in front of us here tonight.
>> Any questions?
[14:44] » So, how are we going to make them do it?
I was called out on one. They made a big
[14:51] mess in the guy's backyard. Yeah,
>> it's been months and there's
[14:56] » no
>> they still haven't been by.
[14:59] » Yeah. So, there's a nice thing in here
on that issue. Uh, basically my my goal
[15:04] is the plans will come into our office
there at Village Hall. We'll review
[15:07] them. They're going to do a lot more
work on the front end now, too. It's
[15:09] always hard in the utility business. You
go out there and you find when you
[15:12] locate, you got other utilities and uh
unfortunately the rightways are littered
[15:17] sometimes due to laws that we have that
allow anybody to come. Um, but we don't
[15:22] have a lot of room left, hence, you
know, having to get another factory
[15:26] truck, stuff like that. Um, but the way
this is is we'll get the plans, uh,
[15:30] we'll review those. Once that permit
goes out and they do the work and we
[15:34] monitor that, once that work's complete,
they will have 10 days to complete that.
[15:38] So, honestly, to answer your question
specifically, we just won't grant them
[15:43] another permit till they go back and do
that. So, we're working with staff,
[15:46] Zach, Benlight, some of those in the
office to try to put people in those
[15:50] positions that, you know, once that
permit's done, they're notified, our
[15:55] staff is to follow up. And I have
another guy that will circle through to
[15:58] make sure everything's cleaned up.
Otherwise, we just won't grant another
[16:01] permit. So, does that answer your
question?
[16:03] » So, you're going to not be not going to
be issuing permits for a while because
[16:08] they got a bunch of crap.
>> So, that'll be how we get it done is
[16:12] either you fix it or you know what I
mean. Another question I was is uh
[16:18] across the street from me. It was a
Friday night and the village truck pulls
[16:23] up. It was about six o'clock at night
and he's out there locating and putting
[16:28] flags in and here comes the the some I
don't remember who flag or and they put
[16:35] all these flags up and that was last
fall. Those flags are still there.
[16:40] » Yeah.
I thought, "Oh my gosh, there must be a
[16:43] gas problem at
>> Yeah.
[16:44] » at his house." And
>> the flags are still there. And there are
[16:49] flags.
>> I'm not complaining about flags, but
[16:54] there are flags all over this town that
have been there forever.
[16:59] » And I don't understand it.
>> Yeah. And that's a tough um There is
[17:03] responsibility for that person to go
pick up those flags, too. But that's
[17:06] kind of a Julie thing. Um
>> you never did anything there. Yeah. So
[17:11] again, I think this will help control
some of that on this side of the work. I
[17:15] can't promise that for other contractors
and their work. I will say uh March,
[17:18] April, May is probably your year that,
you know, the part of the year you're
[17:21] going to see the most as work gets
started. Um but this will help us too to
[17:25] kind of shrink them down because
probably our biggest issue is is when
[17:29] they call in the, you know, 10 Julies at
one time at 5:00. I usually get a call
[17:34] from Zach like, "Hey, we just got a slug
of 10." And those might be, you know,
[17:39] multiple blocks. I mean, it might be a
mile. Um, so it's sloppiness on the
[17:43] contractor. They should be meeting with
us, white line the job, and then call
[17:48] the Julies in with the permits. Um, so
hopefully we can control that some more.
[17:52] Another big one with that too that
they're going to be required to do is
[17:57] homeowner notification, which I think
homeowners will appreciate, whether
[18:00] that's door hangers or what. And to make
sure they do it, they're going to have
[18:03] to give a certification after of the
addresses they sent them to. and what
[18:07] they said at least follow back up with
us. So that's another big one, too.
[18:11] » Well, they came out on a Friday night
just to keep up with their low workload,
[18:15] not because of some
>> Oh, yeah. If you see people putting
[18:18] flags in, we're just keeping up with
whoever called the Julie. I mean, if
[18:22] somebody calls one in, you know, if any
one of us call tonight within 48 hours,
[18:26] you're going to get somebody marking
that. You know what I mean? So when you
[18:29] get these contractors doing fiber and
it's miles at a time, some of them want
[18:33] to call in miles at a time, which uh
honestly is shameful. They should be
[18:38] called in to Julie. It's not right. Uh
because all it does is make things
[18:42] unsafe because people are focusing on
things they instead of what they should
[18:45] be focusing on. And so that's happening
to our guys. Our guys are overloaded
[18:49] right now. Um trying to just keep up
with locating. So, I'm very pleased with
[18:55] this and I think it will take care of
some of the problems I've seen. I have
[18:58] very similar problems. In fact, my
backyard, it's been marked six times
[19:01] now. Work's not done. It's been six
months. Flags are still out there. It
[19:06] keeps getting remarked about every
month. Keeps getting remarked, still not
[19:09] done.
>> And but I think like getting a permit
[19:13] has be done 10 days. And just like that,
well, that's you know, they've had six
[19:19] Julies. Well, that's five more than they
needed to have. Well, that's five times
[19:23] more work for for everybody. And that's
just one one specific job that you know
[19:29] about. So imagine that, you know, I'm
sure you deal with across the board.
[19:33] Yeah.
>> If you can cut that down to,
[19:35] » okay,
>> just do this section because that's all
[19:38] you're going to get to in the next 10
days.
[19:40] » And they're scrambling. I know they got
a lot of work to whatever their reasons.
[19:43] Even Frontier trying to hurry. I mean, I
think Verizon's buying them out or
[19:48] something. So, I'm sure there's things
in there on why they're trying to hurry,
[19:51] but they will go over here and then go
over here. We're still getting permits
[19:54] from them, but it's time to get back to
the basics here and work on something.
[19:58] And if you don't want to work on that
and you go to this, then we're going to
[20:01] revoke with them, revoke or suspend this
permit, and we'll go work on this with
[20:06] you. But if you're not going to work and
just have all these located and be able
[20:08] to pick and choose what you want to go
do just because of what's easy or you
[20:13] know you you bring in the you know the
contractor that's the cheapest that can
[20:17] get the most done and damage the most at
the same time and you're chasing them
[20:20] around. Um
>> this this looks like
[20:26] this ordinance will put a whole bunch
more work on you than what you ever had
[20:30] before.
>> Well, I think that's where I'm relying
[20:33] on the guys. Um, we're still doing this,
but I Zach and Ben are working with I
[20:38] work right now. We don't want to bog
down our permit software, but we've met
[20:42] over the last couple years even with
him. So, we'll probably have another
[20:45] module on I work that'll help us. The
beauty of that is it'll be at everyone's
[20:49] fingertips. We put the maps in there.
All the guys will have it. That'll be
[20:52] the first big step. And then really,
it's just become more efficient on our
[20:56] end on who's responsible for what. And
if I can get one guy to do this and
[21:02] Jamie not be bogged down. Jamie
Bullard's really helped us on this, but
[21:06] him not get as much ball down in the
beginning and the coordination and
[21:09] really more on the guts of the planning
with me. I think it's going to create
[21:14] more work, but I think it's I mean I
don't think it's going to be that crazy.
[21:18] Um, if the utility companies buy in,
it'll make it even easier.
[21:24] » So, and I think they will. I don't think
the utility people will be the ones
[21:28] that, you know, the the contacts for the
frontiers or the ams. I think they'll be
[21:33] fine. It's the contractors and hope
hopefully this will lead I mean I don't
[21:38] know if I'm supposed to say this Pat,
but I I hope this ordinance leads to
[21:41] where if we get 12 different subs coming
here, I like the top end coming here,
[21:45] right? We've already experienced that.
When I3 came, they had excellent
[21:48] contractors, one throughout the entire
job. We're not dealing with that
[21:51] anymore. We're dealing with 12, 13, you
know what I mean, different subs, and
[21:55] it's exhausting. So, I'm not saying
we're going to change that. They can
[21:58] still do 12 or 13. My hope is this
ordinance makes a little tougher that
[22:01] the the good contractor probably can
keep tabs on this and be efficient with
[22:05] this. The bad contractor probably not
because they're going to have some
[22:09] responsibilities in here. So,
>> what about
[22:13] transformers that they moved and the
dirt settled and they're sitting like
[22:17] this?
>> You're now going on to hammer and that's
[22:20] a I don't know if I can ever fix that
one, but we tried.
[22:23] » Is that part of this?
>> That's not Well, I should say and
[22:27] there's a hole there and the thing
wanting to talk. I mean, I think I think
[22:31] this could help us with that going
forward
[22:33] » with Amron's one of the more complex
parties to deal with simply because we
[22:38] have franchise agreement limitations as
well. They are subject to the extent the
[22:42] regulation regulations you're adopting
are not inconsistent with the provision
[22:46] there franchise agreement. Um, they're
bound by the terms of our ordinance, but
[22:50] we always have to keep in mind too that
those franchise agreements are written
[22:53] by Amarind, generally favor Amron, and
do have some limitations on some of
[22:58] these issues. I think the question
though is is what if one of these uh
[23:03] other utility companies does something
that causes a amaran transformer or
[23:09] whatever to settle? Uh yeah. Are we
supposed to do something to resolve that
[23:15] issue? Are they supposed to or just
ignore it?
[23:19] » Well,
within the conference ordinance, we have
[23:25] regulations on things like how they
approach back fills. So if it's damage
[23:29] done to other infrastructure by reason
of what the contractor is doing, um the
[23:33] contractor be responsible to the extent
they don't comply with terms of
[23:35] ordinance. Beyond that, if it's a
lasting, you know, it was installed per
[23:40] our requirements and the condition of it
degrades over time, I'd need to think
[23:46] more about that to be honest with you
before being able to appine as to how
[23:49] the ordinance addresses.
>> But nothing drives us crazy more. So we
[23:52] do try to stay on top of that. I hope in
the last 10 years you've seen better.
[23:57] you know what I mean in terms of that.
But that's probably always going to be a
[24:00] little bit of a fight.
>> One I looked at Cameron moved the
[24:04] transformer.
>> So it's a recent one.
[24:06] » That was a recent one.
>> Yeah.
[24:08] » Dirt settled and it's sitting like this
and it's out by the street
[24:12] » and I looked at you know that that
>> the uh it was
[24:18] » Yep.
>> there was no dirt underneath part of it.
[24:21] It was actually and
>> and I think if
[24:26] » happy
>> yeah ones like those and homeowners I
[24:28] would encourage you to contact us myself
and we are glad to follow up with Amaran
[24:32] and I can assure you Amaran's like us
you know at their levels and they don't
[24:37] want that they don't want those
complaints. So I I think those are ones
[24:41] that they would address.
>> I would think so too with Amaran. I mean
[24:44] I've never had any issues with them for
me but I'm just curious.
[24:47] » Yeah. So, I think if any homeowners got
that question or sees one, let us know
[24:50] and I'm follow up on them.
>> Thank you.
[24:53] » Y
>> no more questions. Let's call the RO.
[24:59] » Yes.
>> Yes.
[25:02] » Yes.
>> Yes.
[25:04] » Yes.
>> Motion passes.
[25:05] » It's all I have tonight, your honor.
>> Thank goodness.
[25:10] » I have three items tonight, your honor.
First being item A, petition number
[25:14] 26-01ZA.
A petition by the village of Morton in
[25:18] support of the property owner to reszone
the property subject property from E3 to
[25:22] RS.
>> Would you have a motion?
[25:24] » So move.
>> Second.
[25:28] » Included in your packet tonight is a map
showing the proposed zoning change of a
[25:32] parcel owned by the Topper family.
Currently that parcel is zoned B3. With
[25:37] support from the Tooffer family, the
village of Morton petitioned for the
[25:40] parcel to be reszoned from B3 to RS at
this month's plan commission meeting.
[25:44] The plan commission gave this petition a
favorable recommendation to be approved
[25:48] and is staff supported. Also included in
your packet is an exhibit showing the
[25:52] proposed configuration of the
surrounding parcels if the amendment is
[25:55] granted. This is to be completed via
plow survey outside of the plan
[25:59] commission village board processes. As
of tonight, the village of Morton has
[26:03] not received any site or architectural
plans to share with you all. And when
[26:07] plans are submitted, and as required
with all projects, we will review,
[26:10] permit, and inspect any construction
proposals in coordination with Morton
[26:13] Fire. This plan would clean up some
zoning issues and allow for the Topper
[26:17] family property to be preserved while
allowing for a new development fitting
[26:21] the RF zoning.
>> Any questions?
[26:29] » If not, call the RO.

Service. Subject property is located at
[26:48] 208 South Avenue, Sweet M, currently
zoned B2. Requested zoning change from
[26:52] B2 with a special use.
>> Motion, please.
[26:58] » To approve.
>> Second.
[27:01] Included in your packet tonight is the
public is the application for a special
[27:04] use to provide massage services at 208
South First A. Also included are the
[27:09] transcripts from this month's plan
commission meeting where the petition
[27:12] was given a favorable recommendation for
approval. The petitioner provided all
[27:16] requested details of her operation to
the plan commission. Jasmine provided
[27:20] enough detail to where conversations
were limited and no I see no issue with
[27:24] granting the special use.
>> Any questions?

[27:35] » Medley,

[27:49] parcel is located at 2607 West Jackson
and the village of Morton request
[27:53] recommendation for the zoning the zoning
classification from the plan commission.
[27:58] I might suggest we table this and
approve this concurrently with the

and the annexation agreement which we'll
[28:05] come back to in future meetings.
