So, anytime we need it, we can get it here. So, that's 5 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:27,199 kind of a bonus for the state coming down showing us how to use it. 6 00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:34,000 Um had uh Matt Brown taught a CPR class in 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:39,680 Ava Rule Fire Department down there last month.

Um, we're also trying to get um, I don't know if you know it 17 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,600 or not, but the state has passed a uh, statute that every law enforcement 18 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,720 officer in the state of Missouri now has to have a mental health evaluation. 19 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:49,759 And this is the year that they are due. So, we are hustling trying to get those 20 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:53,199 in. Um, and we've got some good leads on where we can get those done for free. 21 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:58,800 So, that's what we're trying to get set up. Um, 22 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:04,000 John Perion has started back with the city again, which I'm very, very happy 23 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:09,039 about.

Um, and uh I [snorts] really think that 30 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:46,800 it will help the guys with better cases uh with their report writing. 31 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:52,880 Uh there's not an agency that doesn't struggle with report writing and uh this 32 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:57,759 should help tremendously. Um 33 00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:03,759 I put a uh handout on your desk. It's called the 287G. 34 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:08,240 It's a grant that I've applied for with um US Immigration and Customs 35 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:15,600 Enforcement and uh it gives us the opportunity 36 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:21,600 to receive some federal money. Um, if we're accepted in this program, 37 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:26,160 we'll receive $100,000 per year for vehicles, 38 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:31,039 which is huge for us.

So hopefully that goes well for us. Um first time run 76 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:26,000 through. So, I I think we worked out a few little kinks, some things we can 77 00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:30,720 improve on, but overall was a was a productive day.

So, this is a one of the yearly uh I think airport grants that we 114 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:07,920 get. This one being the IIJA. Um, I have no idea what IGA stands for, 115 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:13,920 so don't ask me. They just sent it and there's no nowhere in their document 116 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:18,000 does it say what IGA stands for. Um, but I guess that's something in pilot 117 00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:24,240 language. Um, or at least at the state of Missouri.

So, so December probably is going to be what 214 00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:15,679 carries the ball for us, but that's it's that case that was u and that one is in 215 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,320 uh I didn't have a chance to read them 216 00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:20,720 because I didn't know so I don't know which one this is. 217 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,000 » Would it be possible to >> please 218 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:29,520 » um you know like we were someone had asked earlier about one of the reports 219 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:32,880 one of these days if someone could set up a spreadsheet just so we could 220 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,480 compare the months. >> Yeah. to kind of keep them going.

The problem will become uh you all may get it after 227 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,840 council because like I said we just got the report today. 228 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:08,080 They're not technically supposed to. That's That's exactly right. So, so it 229 00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:11,679 could come after the council meeting. So, but at least you all would have a 230 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,000 document where you can see a living document. 231 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:19,919 » Yeah, that would be nice. >> Sure, we can do that. 232 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:24,559 » Uh, Winterfest review.

Uh Dusty 240 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:03,120 Shelton helping with parade lineup running rampant. And uh kudos to David 241 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:07,919 Richardson for stepping up and and being the MC all day. Um we won't hire him 242 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:14,320 again next year because he talks too much. [laughter] 243 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:20,160 So u but uh that's his official notice.

So, um I think they went over 256 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:18,480 very well personally. Um, but 257 00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:24,400 » any feedback on what we could have what we can do better next year? 258 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:28,640 » Uh, the only comment that I received was uh and and Bobby I'll give Bobby credit 259 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:32,400 here. We we actually at some point started showing the movie A Christmas 260 00:21:30,159 --> 00:21:37,280 Story. Uh, we actually got some comments that said, "Wish you guys would do some 261 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:41,679 movies leading up or during uh on the site. We projected a Christmas story on 262 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:47,919 the side of Matt's building and and it was it it was it was awesome. 263 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:51,440 » And so anyway, so that I mean as far as feedback over I wish you would have done 264 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,159 something that I that's really all I've heard 265 00:21:52,159 --> 00:21:56,960 » that just came from a good idea that then I thought about it before. Oh yeah, 266 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,200 that's cool. We should have done it more. [laughter] 267 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:05,360 » Yeah. and and you know uh this tourism uh person that would be definitely be an 268 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:08,159 idea that's passed along to >> keep keep that up because that that 269 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:12,880 would be something that would go over well throughout the year I think even 270 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,760 » roast a hot dog and show the sand lot and 271 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,520 » on the square Yep. I know that was something 272 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,039 » be kind of neat. >> Only feedback [clears throat] I got was 273 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:26,000 just there seemed to be a lot of last minute changes for the vendors. 274 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:31,520 » Okay. So to have a little bit more I guess streamlined for the vendors. Um 275 00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:36,159 and yeah not as many last minute. >> Do do you I mean anything specific on 276 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,919 what those last minute comments were? >> Um like 277 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,799 especially those who have regularly participated like oh you're not going to 278 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:47,520 enter in here you're you're going to enter over here. And yeah I think it was 279 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:51,520 just a lot of the like logistics. >> Yeah we we tried. So 280 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:55,520 » I can get more specific with the individual I got the feedback from. I I' 281 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,720 I'd like to know that because you know something that we tried to do for the 282 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:01,039 vendors this year. I know in the past that they've asked them to be off the 283 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:06,240 square >> by like 4:00 or 4:30 or something like 284 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:11,200 that. We did not make them do that. That was a complaint we had gotten from them. 285 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:15,840 I I say we in the past that had been gotten was u there's not enough time 286 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,760 especially since we can't drive onto the square. It's hard to get our booths torn 287 00:23:17,679 --> 00:23:24,320 down and carried over. So we actually just asked them to pull back to the 288 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:27,280 sidewalk. Um, so yeah, that would have been a change, I guess, a significant 289 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,159 change this year, but >> there seemed to be more positive 290 00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:34,240 feedback that that, you know, that some of the changes were definitely improved 291 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,039 from last year, but then there were some other just it seemed like there were a 292 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,240 lot of last minute >> changes that Yep. 293 00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:42,880 » you know, maybe were >> cool, 294 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:46,480 » you know, hard to scramble last minute to the changes. Sure. So, 295 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:52,080 » we have a the Winterfest committee coming Thursday of this week, Thursday 296 00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:53,919 morning, and I will make that mention to them. 297 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,440 » Yeah. And I'll get some more specifics from the individual I got the feedback 298 00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,400 from so that I can have something that's outlined a little bit better for you. 299 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,480 » So, if you want to shoot me a text or an email, that'd be fine. That way, I'll 300 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,840 know. Yep. >> I feel like the lineup process was a lot 301 00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:11,039 better this year. >> Uh, that was actually one of the Denver 302 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:15,679 had made that comment of a lot of folks had made that comment of this was 303 00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:18,080 perfect. don't change it. So, >> um, 304 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,120 » you know, I know you can't please everyone, but that was one where it 305 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,320 seemed like we we actually pleased everybody, I think. So, from based on 306 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:30,640 what I heard. So, >> the PA [snorts] system was wonderful. 307 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:32,320 » Great. And thank you to the KO. Is that who that was? That 308 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,320 » Yeah. >> Yeah. 309 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:39,120 » Studio C, >> something like that. Yep. 310 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:42,559 Our friend Dwayne Garren recommended them so and found. So, 311 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,000 » very good. >> All right. All right. Uh, a couple more 312 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:53,440 things. Uh, FY27 budget. Uh, so I've kind of started in my own little close 313 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:57,520 the door and put some spreadsheets together and start playing with numbers. 314 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,240 Uh, because I'm not one that I'm not going to wait until March to put 315 00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:05,279 something together and throw something at you [clears throat] in April or May. 316 00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:11,039 Um, I'd like to I'm a planner. Uh, I like no surprises. Uh, especially when 317 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:17,840 it comes to dealing with u budget. So, something I'd like to ask. I'd like a 318 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:23,279 favor of this uh u uh council. I would like a couple of council members, and I 319 00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:30,320 put in parenthesis here appointed by the mayor probably to begin meeting with me 320 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:36,320 monthly beginning in January. Uh we'll meet January and February, and then 321 00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:41,440 we'll go to uh as often as needed in March and April. But what that does, the 322 00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:47,279 reason I'm asking for that is so I can start garnering your input now into the 323 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:51,360 budget. So that way when I piece together a what I would consider a rough 324 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:56,159 draft copy, nobody here's surprised and you've 325 00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:01,679 had a chance to weigh in on what's important, what what you all your your 326 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:06,320 initiatives that you want to tackle. Um and that allows us also so when we're 327 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:10,320 going through and we have to have changes based on hey we're not seeing 328 00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:15,840 this we're not you know we're not going to allocate monies here or we want to 329 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:20,400 allocate more monies over here that comes with your input. So, I I don't 330 00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:25,679 know how previous administrations have done 331 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:30,640 things, but um I feel like in my past experience in working for university and 332 00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:34,559 for an electric co-op, that's how I've done things and it's been quite 333 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:39,360 successful. And so, if it's not broken, don't fix it. So, I'd like to have your 334 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:43,200 your input. Uh so, I don't know if you want two volunteers or mayor, if you 335 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:48,159 want to appoint somebody, I it's up to you. So if we did that, are you thinking 336 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:52,080 it would be the same couple or few each time or would it kind of rotate or if we 337 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,960 let's say if a council member that's not one of those has some they would just 338 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,799 tell the representative who is and kind of share correct on behalf of all of us. 339 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:03,440 » Correct. And I really just said a couple that way then it's probably easier for 340 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:08,960 two of you to commit another meeting a month. Uh because I'm I would like for 341 00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:15,440 us to meet the first Thursday of every month. uh I meet with my supervisoring 342 00:27:12,159 --> 00:27:20,559 staff at 2:00 and we also walk through budget. So this would be a meeting 343 00:27:17,919 --> 00:27:23,200 either right before that or right after that meeting 344 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,360 to talk through >> not as many but a workshop you know in 345 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,400 March or April with everybody >> and and we would we would do that. This 346 00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:32,880 is just more for >> these initial the little things to you 347 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:39,679 know >> think of it as extra set of eyes really 348 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:44,640 that's you know really consider it that way is more the more eyes laid on it 349 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,279 then that's what I'd like to do but I I don't know if you if you've got two that 350 00:27:45,919 --> 00:27:51,120 want to volunteer or mayor you want to appoint I and and if you don't think 351 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:56,640 it's a good idea you can tell me it's not a good idea as well and I'll pivot 352 00:27:53,679 --> 00:28:01,559 and find another another option but >> I think it's a great idea volunteers. 353 00:28:02,399 --> 00:28:07,679 » I definitely would do it. So, unless somebody else has a burning desire, 354 00:28:07,299 --> 00:28:11,760 [clears throat] >> I can always tell. 355 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:16,480 » Yeah. Carolyn's great eyes on the >> dollar. So, I'm I'm hearing Dale and and 356 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:21,360 Jamie and Carolyn. So, I just said two, it could be three. Uh, we have to keep 357 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:25,440 it under that >> four. So that way we're not in we don't 358 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:31,000 go into open session every >> Dale and Jamie 359 00:28:27,679 --> 00:28:31,000 and Carolyn 360 00:28:31,679 --> 00:28:40,080 » or Dean want do you want to >> No that's fine if they fine no problem. 361 00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:44,720 » So first two I can just if one of them can't you know step in or whatever. 362 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:50,240 I'm I'm open to whatever. >> I think it would be nice to have three 363 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:55,279 so that way if if somebody is unable to be there [snorts] for some reason that 364 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,720 there's at least two people there. >> Sounds great to me. I think it's good 365 00:28:56,559 --> 00:28:59,360 idea. >> And then if there's three that's more 366 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,200 the marrier, >> right? 367 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,320 » Like you said, more eyes. >> Dale, Jamie, Carolyn, you guys 368 00:29:02,975 --> 00:29:08,320 [clears throat] open to it? Good. Yeah. >> All right. Very good. you guys can 369 00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:12,240 » the rest of us or >> and then in April I think that's 370 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:16,000 historically what's been done is a kind of a a workshop talking about it 371 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:20,960 » and that way then we'll >> and there might even be and this is 372 00:29:17,919 --> 00:29:25,600 something that I think just for personal experience and I know Carolyn's 373 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:28,880 mentioned it before that when you're coming on council as a newly elected 374 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:33,120 official and this is the first time maybe you've ever seen budgets y 375 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:37,840 » I mean your hair's kind of blown back in that 376 00:29:33,679 --> 00:29:41,760 » y like budget workshop. So to have even like some one-on-one for any like at 377 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,120 least offer it for anybody newly elected. 378 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,360 » We can do that >> to go through the budget in a little bit 379 00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:51,200 more detail, a little bit more time, a little less pressure than at like a 380 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:57,360 budget workshop. I think that would be something nice and kind of kicking off 381 00:29:53,840 --> 00:30:02,640 doing this more intensive budget process with alderman. we can figure out 382 00:29:59,919 --> 00:30:05,919 something that would fit for that when we get to the elected time. 383 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,000 » I think he's probably planning on presenting it [cough and clears throat] 384 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,760 differently. Yeah. >> Too than the the way it had been. 385 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:16,559 » Yeah. It's kind of like here's your budget and you're like, "Oh my gosh." 386 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:20,480 Like I don't even know what I'm looking >> exactly. It's it is it's like you said 387 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:24,240 like your ears blow back when you're learning it for the first time. 388 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:29,600 » Well, I I won't give you a budget that I promise you haven't seen every page at 389 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:33,919 least twice. So you you you deserve that. That's what you should be doing. 390 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,600 Keeps me honest and all of us. So that's good. All right. Very good. Grant 391 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:42,320 updates real quick. Street grant, we're on hold till December 15th because I 392 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:47,200 can't select our grant administrator until that day. So really, it's just a 393 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:52,559 hurry up and wait game. Sewer plant CWRG information has been completed. I am 394 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:58,399 waiting on the last form to submit to DNR. We have to do an E-Verify and Sarah 395 00:30:56,159 --> 00:31:03,520 and I are try and Dolores are trying to work through that uh wi with DNR, but 396 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:08,880 we've been assigned our project manager. So, I'm working with Claire Wyn uh at 397 00:31:05,919 --> 00:31:14,159 DNR. Uh and this is on that clean water engineering report grant where um we 398 00:31:11,679 --> 00:31:17,919 would select our engineering firm and and they come in and then do our 399 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:23,039 feasibility, but we're getting grant money to help pay for the engineering 400 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:26,799 feasibility study. Make sense? that that's what we talked about. So 401 00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:32,159 » why why are you needing that you verify for part of the selection or 402 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:38,240 » DNR requires that we submit that on behalf? I mean they gave us a stack of 403 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:43,840 papers that are just egregious but anyway it is what it is. So we'll uh we 404 00:31:41,679 --> 00:31:47,200 work through it and we do our thing. So um 405 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:51,120 that's all I have unless anybody has questions. I'll be glad to answer 406 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:56,080 anything if I miss something. All right, let's move on to the bills. 407 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,279 Need a motion to pay the bills. >> Make a motion. 408 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,600 » Brenda made a motion to pay the bills. Any discussion, 409 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:12,080 » Brenda? Oh, she Oh, okay. >> Okay. No questions. Need a second. 410 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,159 » Dean second it. Dean, how you vote? >> Yes. 411 00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:15,760 » Yes. >> Yes. 412 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,200 » John? >> Yes. 413 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,720 » Yes. >> Yes. 414 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:23,440 » Yes. >> All right. Guess I need a motion to go 415 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:27,120 into executive session. >> Motion second. 416 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,200 » Okay. Made a motion. Second. Dean, how you vote? 417 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,320 » Yes. >> Yes. 418 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,320 » Yes. >> Yes. 419 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,080 » Yes. >> Yes. 420 00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:38,039 » Yes. >> Yes. 421 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,039 » All right. 422 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,120 You guys are getting pretty good.
