After working with our attorneys to update any provisions, 242 00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:04,240 the process of negotiating faster speed services at no cost took considerable 243 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:08,320 time and ultimately could not be provided at no charge for the city 244 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:12,440 hall's needs. Once 245 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:17,400 new and improved services were settled at the library, the new franchise 246 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:21,680 agreement was redlined by Wave in return. The law requires that franchise 247 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:27,440 agreements with entities of similar service are obligated to be provided 248 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:32,400 similar agreements.

That was awesome. Uh had multiple people 537 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,960 say that they're all in great shape. You guys did a good job not banging them 538 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,280 up." >> Good. 539 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,440 » And that came directly from Katie Beth 540 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,600 herself. >> Thank you. 541 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,040 » Good good work to good work public works. 542 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,760 So, they're out there getting watered.

And yes, I think uh we need to partner with a few people at the towers 545 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:56,520 to create some modifications to the van to help with our ongoing safety concern 546 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,360 with the with the candy. Um 547 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,651 kind of I'm kind of shocked that our local dentist hasn't sponsored this 548 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,560 parade considering >> [laughter] 549 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:08,800 » there's probably a thousand pounds of candy that got thrown out. 550 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:12,000 » I'm told kids walk away from that with those 551 00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:17,920 plastic grocery bags and you know they used to be able to get 552 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:21,760 as as as big as medium-sized pumpkins. >> Oh, absolutely. 553 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,800 » I will say this about this van. There was a joy in that van. 554 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,920 » Oh, yeah. >> There was ultimate joy in it. 555 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,320 » It's it's they're super cool. They love it. 556 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,680 » It's it's no problem with that. I 557 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:37,440 But it's what happens afterwards. Cuz you didn't bring me any candy. 558 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,240 » No, I didn't. >> And And they threw good candy. I thought 559 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,572 for sure it was going to be Werther's Originals, but 560 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,040 » Oh, what's wrong with Werther's? >> [laughter] 561 00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:47,280 » Okay, so they put them at the end. >> They are at the 562 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,160 » They are at the end. >> They are at the end? 563 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:53,560 » They're a little problem. >> They're a little problem because 564 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:57,280 they drop such large amounts of candy at the end 565 00:39:54,240 --> 00:40:02,080 and then they all run out in front of the chamber vehicle 566 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:06,040 and the police vehicle. >> No, oh jeez. 567 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:11,880 » And and I'm trying to get them out of the street. I was irritating I think you 568 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,640 know what out of our chamber people, but I didn't know how else to keep the kids 569 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,480 out of the street. I thought of the police 570 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:20,840 » vehicle go by and the driving it was like this. 571 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,440 » Is he happy? >> It was 572 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,480 » Whoever was in the white F-150 had quite the scowl. 573 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,640 » He was very focused. >> I don't know how I feel about his scowl. 574 00:40:28,767 --> 00:40:32,440 » [laughter] >> That's why you don't wave at him. 575 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:35,160 » Uh he was a worried man. >> The 576 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:39,680 the fire the fireworks were were fantastic. I didn't get to go down to 577 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:47,240 school. I I watched them from elsewhere, but no, it was great. Um 578 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:52,400 I I did we did receive one um issue from one person here in town and 579 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,960 had to do with their neighbor. Um we got the email. I actually had a chance to 580 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,840 speak with them and and their concerns were something that's already illegal, 581 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:04,040 so that one is to bed for now. And then um 582 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:07,360 the only other thing that I think perhaps next year, I think whoever runs 583 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:12,640 the Calvary Cemetery is going to consider whether or not close it 584 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:15,520 due to it being a prime viewing location for money. 585 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:19,680 » Were there were there fireworks going off in the cemetery as well? 586 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,880 » There was rumors that there may have been some uh people who were not being 587 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,720 as respectful as they should have been in the cemetery. 588 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,120 » All right. >> But they have not been 589 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:35,280 they have not been confirmed. So, with that, if there's nothing else, 590 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,280 we are adjourned.
