Welcome, we're going to go ahead and have [0:28] our reports first, and we'll come back and [0:34] Okay, down panel number one. [0:36] Okay, just three, three, five, one, two, four dollars. [0:38] You know, the actual, the, the chair in the enormous. [0:45] Here to here, you know, I'll use the fiscal year, [0:49] the twenty-six income. [0:50] After 3, two, three, two, three, five, five, five, five, [0:55] five, four, three, two, [1:00] three, two, three, two, three, [1:00] This year, we're doing right now at the end of September, [1:03] we're doing 16 projects. [1:05] If we could place these 16 projects, [1:07] we would have done 69 million dollars in projects [1:10] in Florida, since that course at the end of the day, [1:14] it turned out to be only the starting of the money in 2010. [1:18] For 16 years, it's about four quarters in a year. [1:21] And so on, we're on that. [1:23] We staged up over a demonstration project [1:26] from the Air of Virginia. [1:27] This plan was approved by the Secretary of Interior, [1:30] but I told you before, so the impersonation center [1:33] was lower bar inside of your demonstration constant. [1:36] And before we go, I think the last claims just today, [1:41] so the development of the Phi Bigger Arena, [1:48] took to a thousand-dollar project, [1:50] a 300,000 dollar grant, and so now it's up to you [1:53] to go down to the basis of that. [1:55] Between you, it's already a course, [1:57] you can do it with the events. [1:58] But it's all set up so we can get rid of the boost on you. [2:02] We have a plan to place what we can raise the money to get to a few [2:06] thousand majors in the rest of your work on that. [2:09] But right now, what we certainly do, [2:12] in terms of the growth is this could do. [2:16] Yes, so form that. [2:18] Do we get what Clint then on and say, [2:22] what's his top priority? [2:24] Because I don't think we can chisel away, [2:26] maybe I don't know. [2:30] I think we need to break it out and say, okay, do we need, like, this power of our first priority to get there, or to wonder our first priority to get there, or what personal thoughts about moving forward with that project? [2:46] Well, I think we should do. [2:47] We go back to the original application [2:49] where we have for $14 million. [2:51] We have all of the way out of there in Kureli. [2:54] I think that the kind of work [2:59] you want to do in terms of 20th, 20th, 20th, 20th, 20th, [3:03] 20th to make a decision in the Calcimates [3:06] capacity to move the balance out. [3:10] I can say that in our region, [3:12] If you want a whole row here there, [3:15] it's actually $100 per sheet for $200,000 [3:19] in and in and in. [3:22] Well, we need patterns. [3:24] What do you want? [3:24] I'm going to put a George's introduction. [3:26] Yeah. [3:26] It's a camel. [3:27] That's what I'm going to do. [3:28] Because I ain't going to let cash value [3:31] because it's going into the lights [3:33] and they're going to come and say, [3:34] it's not as well. [3:35] I think we need to have value. [3:36] No. [3:37] No. [3:37] Well, don't go out there. [3:38] It's good. [4:10] So you know it's almost like how we break off and we'll just want to do that. [4:15] But can we apply it for the party? [4:17] You know what I'm saying? [4:18] Well, we don't have a major power. [4:19] So you don't have a major power? [4:22] Okay, what do you do? [4:23] We should have worked together. [4:25] There was a deal in the end, we were going to do it in a second. [4:27] Yeah. [4:27] Whole fox animals should get in, though. [4:30] The stem of the sacrosis, the mother. [4:32] It was a major of the question. [4:33] She got cheating buffalo, but all. [4:35] And we have a plan, though, [4:37] I don't know how we'll clean all the areas there with the question, so that's far enough for about $375,000 better. [4:45] We'd like to know a bit about it as simple as that, and see if we can handle that for all the fox cows. [4:51] If you're looking at the trees with that, you're thinking at least it could come up. [4:55] For example, I mentioned them in my computer, but in time before, we put the highway signs up to say, [5:00] I think you won't be able to get through a huge sector. [5:03] I asked him if he would be able to read it. [5:04] I was going to talk to him on the board. [5:06] They said, boy, I'll open it in your spot for you. [5:09] But the point I guess I'm going to make is I said, well, [5:12] then, you know, the Peter Secker's question [5:15] I said, there is an umbrella of 100 acres. [5:19] And I have all kinds of components. [5:20] Indoor meaners, outdoor meaners, [5:22] massage arena, contour arena, [5:24] want such a cabinet. [5:26] They got the vision because these businesses [5:30] So I think what you're going to make a decision, I think that we get between one of the power [5:35] of the ladies that have had a major serious effort out of an inch in here, because we have [5:40] the force behind it. [5:41] And I said, who needs research at the end of the box, that's it. [5:45] And so, some of us, you know, any of you great as long as you're around, let's do it for [5:50] some of you. [5:51] Because again, I'm going to risk right now, yeah, because with, that was one thing that was [5:57] I grew up by the end of the day, seeing the science as you know, we have to have a ship to ride here. [6:02] When we move, and when they have a rebound there, that arena has got to be a free arena to ride for people. [6:14] And I think there's a wide way to agree. [6:17] They've only talked about that for a day to read that. [6:20] You know about that, they agree. [6:21] It's not pleasant, why not? It's a big bowl of the batters and the milk present. [6:27] A question. [6:28] We don't need a question. [6:29] We take the milk, it's up out there and accept all the big side that goes in. [6:34] Yes, so the whole thing is the Cleo Beater's Ecclesiocustrine Center. [6:37] But the building gets to be called the Mount Pleasant. [6:41] I think it's quite a lot of fun. [6:42] We just don't have the money. [6:44] I just think of that one. [6:45] That one. [6:46] Basically where we're basically moving. [6:50] Yeah. [6:50] Yeah, they at least be still. [6:52] So then you can say mom that the alborino would be named [6:56] Dr. Faith, Mr. Hulk. [6:58] No, the alborino is just down there. [7:01] It's part of the overarching 180-year facility. [7:04] We have got a name for that. [7:05] Is that what you're trying to name, though? [7:07] Down the road. [7:09] I'll look. [7:10] Pretty premature one. [7:11] I'm going to have to go down there. [7:13] OK. [7:14] I don't want to. [7:14] Yeah, I want to stand by on the say, hey. [7:17] What do you do with it? [7:22] So anyway, like I said, we're, that's the, that's where you stand. [7:27] Here at the US side, we have here at the US side, along the county area, the Oregon State [7:31] area with that. [7:33] Like I said, we're doing 16 projects, [7:37] 30 projects, as far as this will be, on the 7th [7:43] district, college and capacity, team members, and all of the world, 21, and so on. [7:56] Now what I'd like to do is that how do you report a little bit about the next realm to revive and resign from this? [8:08] As you are aware to revive and resign from this, under the state of historic preservation office, we have at least five, [8:17] I think you say five grants come down from the state historic preservation office. [8:24] Go insurance is one. [8:25] The triangle apartments is another one. [8:28] Ron Richen's building is another one. [8:32] Sure y'all sitting at the book, the old erics and grocery building is another one. [8:38] The two are thousands of dollars good. [8:40] So as a group, as a collective amount, 200,000 have come down to our needs. [8:46] It's a nice good one thing about the 50,000-dollar red fruits with the, yeah, we were able to get that 50,000. [8:52] We said, well, it's a resign, but we're sure that the water is the worst part. [8:57] There's a part that's next part that they already resigned. [9:01] But we got things I grabbed up. [9:03] What do you mean you can do it if all of us are reaching number six? [9:08] That's why I don't give you a start. [9:11] That's what I'm doing. [9:14] In order to finish the apartment. [9:17] You gotta get in there. [9:20] We have to be able to get in there. [9:22] The latest thing now is the final decision. [9:24] You have to go through the file bar. [9:32] Anyway, one of our biggest concerns, [9:35] and I think it should be a concern that the community [9:37] is the vacant buildings that are on the main street and state street. [9:42] People who drive through our town with one of the first things they notice [9:47] is the vacant buildings, these eyesores that are completely full of [9:55] trash. [9:59] Something. [10:00] I mean, very little. He's got them out of there now. [10:03] Right. [10:03] All right, now I met Larry Barron today. [10:06] He owns what is called the San E. Co-op building. [10:09] You might remember it as Brinker Hops [10:11] or all 13 company. [10:14] It's really, that's one of the largest ones. [10:16] It's the second one out from Bob. [10:19] He owns actually the first store. [10:20] Yeah, the complex is the old sign [10:22] as a bank of the Gilt House store. [10:24] Yeah, so he owns both of those. [10:26] I met with him today. [10:27] He is trying to clear it out. [10:30] He intends to come back and use it [10:33] to any year when he retires. I don't know how serious he is, but what I'm hopeful that we can get him a grant. [10:45] I'm willing to sit with him and apply for this grant. Do whatever it takes to get him to hopefully $50,000. [10:53] He would have to put up in 12,500 as a match. [10:56] He's got a 25% match. [10:59] He said he would have to sell his car in order to do that. [11:05] But we're trying. [11:06] We're trying to get these vacant buildings. [11:09] We're addressing it. [11:11] What we would like to see too, this is an idea. [11:15] This is something I think it's worth considering, [11:18] is our city adopt an ordinance to address these vacant buildings that aren't [11:28] right. Now we all get a little prickly and say it's government overreach when [11:34] we try to insert ourselves into business that's private, but I think it's over [11:42] review. I think that we've ignored the buildings, the junk keeps in these collective buildings [11:51] for too long. We have people that own these buildings without living or don't care. And [11:57] that needs to end. I mean, you put out a bit of water for it. Yes. We have people that [12:02] contact us as mainstream that are interested in buying buildings that are interested in [12:09] starting a business, and we got people to sit down. [12:14] One of the things has been done recently, [12:18] and there's three cities that in Maine, three separate cities in the state of Maine that have [12:26] adopted ordinances to address vacant buildings. So we call ourselves Hub City, right? The hub [12:36] of Hub City is Main Street. [12:39] Would you not agree? [12:40] Without a Main Street, we really don't have much of a city. [12:46] So Main Street and State Street, [12:48] the historic district of our town, [12:51] should look better than anywhere. [12:55] When we have vacant buildings, [12:58] it disrupts business, [13:00] walkability through your town, [13:03] immediately things stop right there, don't they? [13:05] When you see this big collective empty spot up on stage 3, business stops, people stop, [13:15] the walkability stops in the community. [13:19] Vated buildings create empty spaces that become missed opportunities for tangible connections [13:26] to our past. [13:28] When we think of Mount Pleasant, when we think of our shield childhoods here, we think about [13:34] growing up on the street and visiting those businesses. Without the street, we have no [13:40] problem in Hope City. So I think it's time to get a little bit tougher with our businesses. [13:50] I would like to see a adoptive ordinance that addresses vacant buildings. And what they [13:59] in Maine, this is something that an idea that they did. The ordinance they adopted last October [14:08] requires businesses that are vacant for at least 180 days in and we could say in the historic [14:17] district to register and face fees by May 1st unless they opt to work with the city or the main [14:28] street committee to fill these businesses and it's not about fees it's not [14:35] about collecting money we won't that's just not going to be the it's about [14:42] helping them find tenants it's about helping them find grants which we are [14:48] doing over in that the old Larry Aaron and we've done with his other buildings [14:53] It's really not about the feet, but it's about helping them, and when we tell them, no, this isn't... [15:00] About filling your business, building. This is about creating a commerce and an economic activity in our town. We just don't want to see the empty buildings and the junk. So that's kind of how we approach it. And that's what we're telling. It's really not. The fees are just another leverage, it's a leverage. I want to work with property owners to help to find tenants. And that would be something the mainstream committee would do. [15:29] whether that be a long-term tenant body, we want to make their storefront look [15:37] as desirable as possible, whether that's doing one thing every month to make it [15:43] look better, wash the windows, put a painting in the window, something that's to make it look better. [15:50] So anyway, they would register with the city, they would register their property [15:56] with this city and say we are, we know it's taken, you know, 780 days will work on it. [16:04] And the main street committee would be part of that enforcement to say yes, we're working on getting it done. [16:10] Yes, we're working on getting business in there. [16:12] Something for you to think about? [16:15] We'll be back to you. [16:16] Okay. [16:18] If I may, yes, maybe a dismissal depends on the long line, but they also is, and then we can pay [16:25] back in that ordinance banning the billboard so they can save boundaries. [16:30] Banning billboards? [16:32] Yeah, because it's in that control. [16:34] I don't want to hide it. [16:34] Why doesn't it look like a safe street board, where it's just a continuous billboard? [16:39] It's just about a time for a seat, but also, if your business is not active, [16:45] But you have to sign up, you need to go to the sign, and that will address this sign up here. [16:53] The vision is potential for it, so. [16:55] What about the rest of it? [16:57] I'll say so. [16:59] So if you're not having an active business, you have to sign a place where you're ready to get things to you. [17:03] You don't have to. [17:04] And you don't have to go to the board to get the same numbers. [17:06] And you don't have to go to the board. [17:07] You have to go to the board. [17:08] You have to sign up. [17:11] You need to go to the sign. [17:18] I agree, I like that. I think it's time. [17:29] Anything else? Oh, the sidewalker. That is one of my passions. And you know that from attending Main Street to committee meetings. I want to see a sidewalk in that part of state streets. [17:43] Highway 89 goes to Toronto so I believe that its citizens have a right to be able to access [17:53] our grocery store without being endangered so we are working with we've had a meeting with [18:03] you dot and we want to see a sidewalk whether that's a trail an asphalt trail we will do whatever [18:12] ever it takes to get a sidewalk where there is not one currently to Terrell's. [18:19] That is a basic need in our community. It's a safety issue. We need to see our citizens [18:25] be able to get to the grocery store safely. So we have met recently just this week with [18:32] you dot this past week with a regional platter and we intend to push as much as we can [18:42] the first step is to start a study to the actual report of what we need to have not done. [19:09] The former mayor, current mayor and city manager, we hosted them there and we hosted a [19:14] coffee depot of last Wednesday, and we took it through the box of cars, filled with [19:20] a king down the main street and they laid on our main street. [19:23] So the good news is that we got a couple of white blind areas, overall the street was [19:30] They thought it was wonderful. [19:32] Would you agree? [19:33] Yes. [19:35] A UI source that we want to know. [19:40] This is nothing. [19:41] I remember when I had the Fletcher [19:42] who said that bill didn't pay for it. [19:45] It was a bill to pay, isn't it? [19:46] Well, that's the other thing. [19:47] Do you want to run these certain billets [19:49] to use the rest of the bill? [19:52] Yes. [19:53] There's a harm. [19:55] A lot of them have that upstairs. [19:57] Yes. [19:57] But that's part of revival and reside is having part of the business, whether it's the upstairs apartment, [20:05] or a back apartment, or if they're using a bed of breakfast, renting them, that's part of revival and reside. [20:14] And that's an important component of your downtown or your historic district, [20:19] because we want people living, walking, and making business, [20:25] in our historic district, we want more traffic, right? [20:31] Now, the original action I'm going to have to report on. [20:34] We have closed out with all of our funding in these. [20:38] We've closed out the $2,000,000 grand share of parts, [20:43] the $2,230,000 account project, [20:47] and the $6,000,000 Accuracy Center project. [20:51] Now, the channel's interesting because [20:53] I work closely with Oxford, see if we got all the money. [20:56] It's interesting. [20:58] We got shorted 2,000, about 2,230,000 and 2,000 we have to make up now the RDA, 8-bad, [21:08] the Adieu of the government. [21:09] So, so, so, if everything's closed out, everything's all in, we're home for it, okay? [21:15] Yeah. [21:15] We'll jump [21:22] back up and prove that there's a approval of candidates, or June 9th, 25th, or 6th, or 6th, or here in June, all the 6th, here. Any question on the list? [21:37] We're about our June 25th, special senior year in June, and the 6th in June. [21:46] I'll make more to approve the June 9th, 2026, [21:49] waiting to see your minutes, and the June 25th, 2026 [21:52] special CPR in the minutes. [21:55] I'll say it now. [21:56] Yeah, I'll hold some of my case in, [21:58] but I don't need to approve the minutes of June 9th, [22:00] 2026, or you know, Senior Army, and the June 25th, [22:04] special CPR in the Olsen Bayer. [22:09] Hi. [22:10] Any opposed? [22:11] Next is the approval of our claims [22:13] The invoice registered dated June 1st, 26 to June 2nd, 26 and around the 224,893 dollars and 60% [22:25] The bulk of that was just to close off the trail. [22:28] Other market engineering? [22:29] Go now. [22:30] Yeah. [22:31] Trailer closed. [22:32] I mean, what we've proven, what registered dated June 1st, 26 to June 3rd, 26 and about 24,893 [22:40] dollars and 64 seconds. [22:41] Yes. [22:42] In most of my opinion is said in my old self-proved invoice, registered in June 1, 26, June [22:47] 30, 26, about $224,893 and 64 cents, roll call? [22:55] All. [22:56] Yes. [22:56] Yes. [22:58] Yes. [22:58] Next is our invoice, registered in July 1, to July 1, 26, to July 31, 26, 9, 33,000, 33, [23:08] $33.33, so on the next question is, most of us are the parking that are going to be small and water. [23:15] Yeah, and that's actually what we ask for. [23:17] Yeah, that's what we ask for. [23:18] Yeah, that's what we ask for. [23:18] Yeah, so I'll make most of the approving voice register data. [23:21] It's like, first 26, it's like, 30, first 26 in a month. [23:25] 33,000, 33 dollars and 33 cents. [23:29] That's a lot of things. [23:29] I'll say it's a lot of things. [23:31] Yeah, most of us are by 10 seconds by a lot of these. [23:50] You've got to do great. Two minutes of work. [23:54] That's what we're going to be doing. [23:56] Say it. [23:56] That's a lot of demolition. [23:58] We're going to do the very second right here. [23:59] That was in favor. [24:01] Okay. [24:04] Okay. [24:05] Okay. [24:06] Okay.
