1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,679
I'm still hurting. I'm sorry.

2
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:11,000
He has to wake up.

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,320
» Okay, I'm going to call this meeting to
order if everyone was standing.

4
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:39,120
to the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which it

5
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:44,760
stands. One nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice

6
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,760
for all.

7
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:00,280
several penny
Brown

8
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,280
» Amy

9
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:05,559
public.

10
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,680
» Thank you.

11
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:34,560
Chris, are you and um Miss Christina
we're talking twins today again? Please

12
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,159
go.
>> Well, we're here to

13
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:45,680
talk up the the West End Health Service
District that will be on the ballot

14
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:50,200
in November.
And these sheets areformational.

15
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:59,960
I think there's three at the last
one.

16
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:07,399
I bet you do.
>> Is there anybody

17
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,680
news?

18
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:19,760
Anyway, um
we're not here to answer a whole lot of

19
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:26,640
questions, but just to let you know that
the support of the entire

20
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:31,120
region needs needs to be brought up in
November. We need to make sure that

21
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:38,160
everyone gets on ballot and gets and
goes goes to the polls and votes one way

22
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:45,360
or the other at the time that it is
voted on. the uh board of directors will

23
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:51,920
also be voted on at the uh same ballot.
And the thing about the the hospital,

24
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:56,959
the proposed hospital
is that not only is it an economic

25
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:03,280
driver for the whole region, but it's
something that has been needed and

26
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:08,800
wanted. I just found out yesterday that
since 1950s

27
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:14,480
sometime early 50s uh hospital plans
were drawn up had actually been

28
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:19,680
formulated the architectural plans
everything. This has been in the works

29
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:30,720
for decades and decades and it's really
needed. Um the biggest driver from uh

30
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:37,120
the uh West End vision project 247 care
and uh long-term care. So our so our

31
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:43,280
elderly
including me don't have to leave the

32
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:48,080
area. We've lost so many families
because

33
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:52,879
parents, grandparents had to leave. they
couldn't get the care here that they

34
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:57,599
needed and ultimately families have left
too because of that very thing. It's

35
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:04,519
really important and we're asking that
the board as a whole and as individuals

36
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:04,519
really support this.

37
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:13,920
» Um yeah,
>> no

38
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:17,919
say if you have any questions just call
us. We'll try and answer them to the

39
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:21,680
best of our ability. The biggest
question that we're getting right now is

40
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:26,800
where will it be located?
No idea.

41
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:32,080
» It's up to the board once the elected
board once they are in place then they

42
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:37,199
will have the the right to make that
determination. But right now it's I mean

43
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:43,440
there are a lot of places that would be
really good but um

44
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:51,120
we can't make that decision. One other
thing that we did ask about and find out

45
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:57,600
is that once it's passed and um after
the hospital built and the mill levy,

46
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:01,759
the mill levy can be adjusted down by
that board. It can be adjusted to a

47
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:05,600
different level by the board. It can
never go above the 20 ms,

48
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,960
» but it can always come down.
>> Okay.

49
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:13,680
» Okay. So that that is a good thing that
we found out and because we don't want

50
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:18,080
to have I personally, you know, I I'm
not bored. I wouldn't be, you know, I'm

51
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:24,479
not on that board, but I wouldn't want
to to have more mills put in than is

52
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,639
needed, right? I mean, we want to make
sure we maintain the building. We want

53
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:33,759
to make sure we have the reserve to be
able to upgrade or do whatever we need

54
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:39,680
to do. But we don't need to be floating
in cash to, you know, just make sure

55
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:43,199
we're we're sustainable because right
now I know the county commissioners have

56
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:48,960
been very
um reluctant over the last several years

57
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:56,080
to give us the money without a big
fight. And I'm afraid that if this does

58
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:01,440
not pass, we won't have the clinic
anymore either. That's my fear. I don't

59
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:05,600
know if it's true, but that is a fear, a
legitimate fear.

60
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:10,639
» Historically, uh, critical access
hospitals are self- sustaining. They do

61
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:16,400
pay for themselves. And once it is
built, the basin clinic would be

62
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:24,639
absorbed into the hospital running as a
clinic under that board. uh it would be

63
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:28,479
just a regular 8 to5 clinic during the
day but the hospital would obviously be

64
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,880
there 24/7
and there were a lot of uh other issues

65
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:38,160
that
can be

66
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:43,120
covered by having a hospital here. So
just

67
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:47,039
draw blood draw CTS MRIs
those things that people go out of the

68
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:50,319
area take their money with them.
>> Yeah.

69
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:55,280
» Mhm. you know, buy food, buy gas, buy,
you know, whatever. Sometimes stay

70
00:06:52,080 --> 00:07:01,199
overnight, that adds up. And if we can
keep it here, all the better for

71
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:06,639
everybody. So that's that's and on the
back, if you haven't seen it, there was

72
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:13,199
a website developed that you can go to
and check exactly what the cost will be,

73
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:18,800
the increase to your taxes.
>> Very good question. So to me what I hear

74
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:24,240
when I go to meetings a lot of feedback
I hear is people do not really

75
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:29,280
understand how the finance this works I
think the impression is still the

76
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:33,599
impression is that the mil levy builds
hospital it buys the land it builds the

77
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,440
hospital and that's that's the
impression I think everyone has so I

78
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,160
don't know if you can add that to this
that it does not build the hospital that

79
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:47,039
that money comes from elsewise it only
supplies the operating

80
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:51,520
capital for the hospital for whatever
number of years until it becomes fully

81
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:58,960
self- sustaining. So to me that's one of
the biggest questions I hear asked and

82
00:07:54,639 --> 00:08:04,080
that is not clear in a respon
confusions that's keeps coming up is

83
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:10,080
people hear 20 mills and they're
thinking that we're trying to raise $20

84
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:13,919
million at a time and the first time I
heard that I I I really got confused

85
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:20,160
because I was what do you mean $20
million? It's not even a million dollars

86
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:24,560
a year. And so, um, we really need to
make sure people know that 20 mills does

87
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:28,879
not mean $20 million.
So, what does it mean?

88
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:34,399
» It means whatever 20 mills added to your
taxes, whatever that would be added to

89
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,519
your taxes. We can look it up for you.
>> Okay. Good.

90
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:43,680
Oh, it's in the
>> So, so for the whole area it's estimated

91
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:48,880
at 949,5
900

92
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:55,279
for the first year. So, that's for the
whole region which is from the divide

93
00:08:51,680 --> 00:09:01,279
road basically and the county road of of
Samville, the county road of Mason, the

94
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:06,800
state line. So, that area. So, so that
kind of gives you a little bit of an

95
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:11,040
idea. I know ours personally between the
Grape Street property and the property

96
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:15,120
of here is like a little over $500 for
the two properties for the year. And

97
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,519
that's one trip.
>> That's basically what we signed the

98
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,080
petition for that agreed to to add that
to our taxes

99
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,880
» to put that on the ballot for people to
vote on that.

100
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:29,680
» Yeah,
>> I do I do have questions and Detroit has

101
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:35,279
agreed to uh get my questions and and
answer them for the best of his ability.

102
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:38,399
Okay. So, Those are coming and yeah and
we're we're working I'm working with

103
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Troy too. We were just working today on
some things. So

104
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,320
» awesome.
>> Yes.

105
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:49,920
» There is a committee that is running is
behind this. It's not just the clinic.

106
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:53,920
There is a committee and we're trying to
find an appropriate date where we can

107
00:09:52,080 --> 00:10:00,000
all get together and make it make one
final uh push to answer as many

108
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:07,320
questions as we can.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

109
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:07,320
» So yeah. service. Thank you. Thank you.

110
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:17,839
» There was one mil is $1 for every
thousand dollar your property is

111
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,399
assessed at
>> non school assess

112
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:30,320
» one. Okay. So it's like a 1,000.
>> Yes.

113
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:35,040
» Mill in French is a thousand meaning.
>> There we go.

114
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,920
probably where I came from.
>> Okay. Um, moving forward to our consent

115
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:46,519
agenda. I would entertain a motion to
approve the consent agenda or hold out

116
00:10:42,079 --> 00:10:46,519
any other items that anybody discussed.

117
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:55,279
» We'll make a motion to approve the
consent agenda.

118
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:59,279
» I'll second.
>> A motion and a second to approve the

119
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,480
consent agenda. Tim,
>> yes.

120
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,399
» Penny,
>> yes. Amy, yes.

121
00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:06,560
» Brad,
>> yes.

122
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:10,720
» I vote yes. Motion carries.
>> Is there any items that need to be added

123
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,480
or removed from the agenda? Manager or
trustees?

124
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:19,519
» I'd like to add at least a brief
discussion on the raw water situation.

125
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:23,000
» Do we want to do that?
>> Manager's report.

126
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:31,440
» Anything else?

127
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:41,040
Okay, we'll move forward to our new
administrative board business.

128
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:46,320
First item on the agenda is citizen Shan
Pon's comments submitted to the town

129
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:51,120
board regarding trustee to
I have something I want to just kind of

130
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:55,360
bullet point what's going on here so
that everybody's aware. So, at the last

131
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:59,600
meeting, a trustee requested an
amendment to the board agenda to discuss

132
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:04,720
ethical concerns that she has with
county commissioner Shawn Pond. The town

133
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:09,360
uh declined to take action following
that discussion.

134
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:14,639
On Monday, the town received an email
from Mr. Pond highlighting concerns that

135
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:19,519
he had with Trusty Tooker's statements
and requested certain town action,

136
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:24,000
including initiating of procedures to
remove Trusty Tuker as a town trustee.

137
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:31,440
It is my view um that the issues between
Trusty Tuker and Commissioner Pawn are

138
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,360
separate from the town's official
function and therefore it's not

139
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:40,399
appropriate for the town to take a
position on this matter.

140
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:46,240
I also do not believe it's appropriate
for the board to take act official

141
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:52,320
action following uh Commissioner Pawn's
97 email. Trusty Tuker and Commissioner

142
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:57,680
Pawn are welcome to pursue any action
they deem appropriate at this time, but

143
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:01,000
that should not involve the town's time
or resources.

144
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:05,399
Discussion by the board.

145
00:13:05,839 --> 00:13:17,120
» I agree. Um, I just wanted to one
concern I had was that Commissioner Pond

146
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:24,560
would pursue legal action against
the town if we don't.

147
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:27,519
» It's a question for the town's attorney.
>> Okay. So, it's just gone to the town

148
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:32,000
attorney.
>> It's

149
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:37,560
weird nothing back. I don't I don't feel
that there's anything to discuss until

150
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,560
we back.

151
00:13:38,079 --> 00:13:45,680
to be quite honest
things at play here. There's there's

152
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:51,760
also qualified immunity for elected
officials making statements in official

153
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:57,680
board meetings. So that all has to be
looked at from a legal standpoint. I

154
00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:05,279
don't I really am not interested in
using my uninformed opinion.

155
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:10,399
I think the question is u
if the board is in agreeance as to how

156
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:15,120
you want to move forward if you want the
attorneys you know when I when I state

157
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:19,360
that you know the town resources that's
what I'm referring to is how much staff

158
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:23,680
time and attorney time
>> I think we have to have the town time

159
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:30,399
let's look at it
>> he he was sent it Jessica sent things

160
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,360
» and he hasn't said anything
about

161
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,000
He said he was going to review it the
last meeting, but

162
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:41,360
» yeah, it ended up taking a while.
>> Yeah, sure.

163
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:47,440
» And I'm sure that he wants to know the
direction of the trustees before

164
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,440
doing anything.
>> So,

165
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,600
if there's anything else, we'll move
forward on this agenda.

166
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:04,240
Well, I thought you brought up a good
point with the um the Colorado state

167
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:09,839
statute. I mean, as far as the ethics
and the governance that we're working

168
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:17,040
on, um, I would like to
maybe integrate that into the ethics and

169
00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:23,600
that way we have that process in place
when we're approving our new

170
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:29,120
between the hearing and, you know,
whatever else has to happen, the

171
00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:32,880
evidence, the
I think that should be integrated into

172
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,880
the government.
>> The government.

173
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:43,760
» Yeah, because I I mean that's basically
what I was looking for anyway. Um like

174
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:48,639
like what what happens if anybody on the
town board,

175
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:51,759
you know, betrays the public trust or
anything like that. We don't have

176
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:56,240
anything there's no there's no
consequences to actions or no actions

177
00:15:53,839 --> 00:16:00,880
that can be taken by the board. It's
just us signing our name saying we won't

178
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:05,360
do this. So
I I think that should be

179
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:08,480
» that's not true for actually
member trust we are

180
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,680
» after a hearing
>> based on Yeah.

181
00:16:10,079 --> 00:16:17,040
» Yeah. But I think that hearing process
should be in our good governance.

182
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:21,759
I think it's part of that process was
integrated into the new draft but I

183
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:26,079
think that it may not be as much or
strong a language as we may decide to

184
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,600
put there. Sure.
Thank you.

185
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,240
» Mhm.
>> Very good.

186
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:36,000
» So I will speak with the attorney and
ask him to look at the language clear

187
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:40,720
strong or process between the hearing
and a vote or we have any the board's

188
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:43,360
deliberation on that before it goes to
the attorney. But

189
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:49,199
» I think what we want to hear from the
attorney is just um for him to give a

190
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:54,920
what's he what's he always call it? A
synopsis basically of options for the

191
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:54,920
board. Okay.

192
00:16:55,519 --> 00:17:01,120
Okay,
next item on the agenda is the fall

193
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:05,600
cleanup day.
I just wanted to um start conversation

194
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:11,280
fall cleanup. I know that it was kind of
expensive last spring. Um I'm still

195
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:14,640
haven't gone back to the numbers. U I
started putting them all together and

196
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,919
then I haven't revisited, but I just
didn't know if they were even interested

197
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:24,400
in doing a fall cleanup if we had any
money. I mean, if there's

198
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:28,079
» Okay. I I only speaking for myself about
I think there's

199
00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:30,559
» I understand there's $120,000 down
there.

200
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:33,360
» Well, if it's floating in this area,
please let me know and I'll just

201
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:38,240
» the general fund.
>> Yeah. So,

202
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:41,360
» um Okay. So, I will then continue on the
budget of it and then we can discuss the

203
00:17:39,919 --> 00:17:44,600
next meeting decided. They could be a
late call.

204
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:51,280
» Jessica noticed you had the Rainbow
Reservoir clean up on here and on your

205
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,000
manager's report. Do you want to do that
now or do you want to?

206
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:57,039
» Um, we can talk about it now.
>> Okay.

207
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:01,760
» Uh, so we received an email from a
citizen and definitely, you know, it's

208
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:07,919
we've been watching the Randle Reservoir
and we can try to mitigate some of the

209
00:18:03,919 --> 00:18:13,440
cattails and few things last spring with
well it wasn't successful. We'll say

210
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:16,880
that. Uh, so I was speaking with Rod Ser
and we were talking about it and we do

211
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:21,919
know that there's the otter and there's
the people over there animals and using

212
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:26,640
it in the fish and he said it might be
conducive to do a slight drain of it in

213
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,360
this fall. We know that next spring is
really kind of touchy and we don't know

214
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:36,960
what our water levels are going to be,
but we can get it down a few feet so we

215
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:41,280
can kill the cattails, burn them
effectively, and then fill it back up

216
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:47,200
because they do have to be burned after
they're poisoned or whatever. Um, so I

217
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:52,559
just I didn't know how everyone how the
board felt about that. um if it was

218
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:57,760
possible. Uh we're still looking into
other options, but I just

219
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:04,559
» gone or they still gone.
>> Um they're not gone yet. They are they

220
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:11,520
were still there this weekend cuz uh so
I reached back out to the D to maybe

221
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:18,799
trap them and relocate them. Um
I I know they're so cute.

222
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:24,640
I have some how to relocate them in
other ways and I'm asking everyone that

223
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:28,240
too. Um but yeah, so
>> yeah, I know I know there's a lot of

224
00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:30,880
people that
>> Yeah.

225
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:34,559
» But
I got it was my understanding that they

226
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:37,679
they were here in the spring and they
did leave at the beginning of the

227
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:41,520
summer, but they just came back because
they're happy there, but they aren't

228
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:44,960
really damaging to the dam there. And
and then also like if we were to kind of

229
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:49,520
like lower the reservoir, we could get
in there and get a good clean up in the

230
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:53,520
fall time um while the the quiet life is
also dissipating. But um probably clean

231
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:58,960
it up. I can't imagine when all this
sunk to the bottomless.

232
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:04,400
» Well, there's and I also there's also
products they make that you can add to

233
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:09,360
the water that will increase the
decomposition and eventually it'll just

234
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:14,240
eat up the dead decay matter on the
bottom. Okay. So, I've run across

235
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:17,120
several when I was looking at the nipple
reservoir doing some treatment on that.

236
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,880
So,
>> I was looking at some different cap tail

237
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,200
killer stuff, you know, and I just don't
know what we can

238
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,039
» I don't know anything
>> pretty much phosphate is what the it's

239
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:30,000
the real cattail filler all the way to
the root

240
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:33,600
» and but you have to be careful with
that.

241
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,760
» But it's not a water supply per se,
though it does flow through there and

242
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,039
into the dish.
>> People swim in it.

243
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:43,760
» So, yeah. Yeah. And it's so you have to
be careful what you're doing drawing it

244
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:50,799
down. So you could actually just
definitely keep your spray any spray on

245
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:55,360
cattails to the cattails would be good.
>> Scott

246
00:20:52,880 --> 00:21:00,320
poisoning and all that that flows
through there and there's other people

247
00:20:56,799 --> 00:21:03,760
on that west lateral that sister.
>> So you're gonna have to be careful if

248
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:11,039
you do.
>> Really? Um, is there any plan to fix

249
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:15,360
that beachy area so it's not so steep or
put sand or make it nice?

250
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:21,919
» We actually have a plan for Rainbow
Reservoir. That was another one of the

251
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:25,919
uh UTA UN University Technical
Assistance. They did a plan on it. So,

252
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:30,799
at this point, we do have a really nice
plan that would improve the beach, but

253
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:34,880
we haven't written any grants yet to
help get that taken care of. So, um,

254
00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:36,720
yeah,
>> it's out there.

255
00:21:35,679 --> 00:21:39,200
» It's out there.
>> If you want that plan, it's available.

256
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:42,559
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

257
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:45,440
» Cuz I think I'm trying to remember what
all the improvements were. One of them

258
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,559
was some sort of a water feature,
something that would help kind of

259
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,559
irrigate the water and keep some
circulation going. It's been a while

260
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:58,400
ago, so I can't tell you all the
details, but it was a community meetings

261
00:21:56,159 --> 00:22:02,080
and then the the kids came up with a
design. It took it takes forever every

262
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:05,760
time we do that, but it usually is a
nice start. So,

263
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:10,240
» yeah.
>> So, and it is used by a lot of

264
00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:16,960
» It is a lot of
>> I wish it was more user thinking.

265
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:20,480
» Well, now has that going right
there just not enough water going

266
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:26,320
through even.
So, um, so is the board agreeing that

267
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:31,520
the plan that Jessica laid out would be
the next steps is to draw the water down

268
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:36,400
here for the fall and try to mitigate
the fat tails and

269
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:40,960
» it is difficult. I mean, we dig them off
the Mustang and it's still hard to keep

270
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,760
them from coming back.
So

271
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,640
» is I would assume like anything if you
kind of get to a point then if you stay

272
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,400
on top of them
>> much easier but it's hard too because

273
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:57,520
you refill those you're going to fill it
back up under water that's part of the

274
00:22:53,679 --> 00:23:03,039
» manageable again. So maybe an annual
draw down an annual plan for mitigation

275
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:07,360
would be okay for looking.
>> So if we get some language together like

276
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:11,039
a presentation or something to let you
all look over then maybe

277
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,880
» that's what we do at Mustang. When the
res goes down in the winter we go out

278
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:18,679
and dig in cattails whatever else and we
can't reach some

279
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:25,200
drain that down. It'll have to evaporate
because the sp once it drops the road

280
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:29,720
that spillway it's not
>> that's out of my technical capacity.

281
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,240
» I will be asking

282
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:38,840
okay right the bucket brigade

283
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:50,559
» that seems like research is necessary on
your question Jessica.

284
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:54,880
» Thank you. I have because water comes in
and then once it reaches the spillway it

285
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:58,320
flows down. That's the way the design
is.

286
00:23:55,679 --> 00:24:02,480
» I got a 3in trash. Take a while with
that.

287
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:09,280
» Then I will just continue the
conversation with Rob and we'll ask more

288
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:14,320
questions since we're full.
>> Okay. Um,

289
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:19,520
next item is the Prop 123 DOA joint
grant application with Town Nadita.

290
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:24,799
Jessica and Tim and I um attended that
meeting last night and the Nat town

291
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:32,799
board did vote yes to pursue the joint
grant with town new although um we have

292
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:36,880
not voted to do that or not. So
>> like

293
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:42,000
they want to work with us but we have to
say yes we want to work with them. So um

294
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,520
and I know I think all of you guys were
at the joint meetings we had prior to

295
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:50,159
that. So, any other questions that have
come up since then that you've answered

296
00:24:47,679 --> 00:24:54,400
before we entertain that motion?
>> Well, Narita also agreed that NLE would

297
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:59,520
be the
>> point contact agency and that's the one

298
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:04,000
to submit the application. So,
>> that's also for your consideration as

299
00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:08,480
well. We want that to be true.
>> Okay.

300
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:12,400
and Jessica has visited with Lily
>> and uh and we'll meet regularly and even

301
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:15,679
though just one entity would be
submitting the grant, we'll sit together

302
00:25:14,159 --> 00:25:20,480
and submit it. And then once the
position is built to oversee all that

303
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:24,880
stuff so it takes it off of her and I
we'll still check in together to see

304
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:32,440
that that person's submitting properly
and yeah guys are cross that is always

305
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:42,320
So is it is it um specific to a
location?

306
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:45,520
So this grant is um pretty much a
startup like just to get like the

307
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:49,440
project management or the person to
oversee like getting us up and going and

308
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,039
those funds and site assessments
possibly and

309
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,200
» okay
>> maybe some legal fees or whatever is

310
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:59,120
entailed with all that stuff that
startups need.

311
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:03,120
» Yeah, they'll be looking to identify
sites.

312
00:25:59,919 --> 00:26:08,000
» Okay. in muc
changes nuclear

313
00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:12,720
is my personally my personal preference
would be nar takes horses

314
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:14,960
it otherwise so we wouldn't have to
spend money out of the too much money

315
00:26:14,159 --> 00:26:19,440
out of the grand
>> well we did talk about that because I

316
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:25,039
brought it up at one of our meetings
that we our code is fairly new and that

317
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:29,520
we're looking at it again right now and
that I mean without talking to you guys

318
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:34,400
I couldn't make any promises but I mean
I The whole point of the West End vision

319
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:38,559
pro project is for us to be sharing and
be more aligned on some of these things.

320
00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:43,279
So if they did indeed want to take a
look at what we've already done, maybe

321
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:46,640
there's some compromise there. And they
did also identify because we've already

322
00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:51,520
done some of the work that they haven't
done that there would be a difference in

323
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:57,760
their match on that portion because they
would need more money to do that than we

324
00:26:53,919 --> 00:27:02,960
did. So it would be equalized based on
the amount of money used. next week in

325
00:26:59,919 --> 00:27:05,919
order to agree to that.
>> Yes.

326
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:09,679
» And this is the step that just says yes,
we are agreeing to work together.

327
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,760
» Yeah.
Yeah.

328
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,480
And have an agreement between the two of
those details

329
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:21,520
» because the code assessment that's
included in this has to it has to

330
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:29,039
pertain to building and land use. So it
can't be just unless it can tie to that.

331
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:32,159
I can't see any other uh code.
Sorry.

332
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,480
» I would strongly recommend against that.
You know, chew up the party grant money

333
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,880
doing this.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

334
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:47,919
» There's not any further questions. We
need to have a motion.

335
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:52,799
Make that motion to accept the
um how do you want me to put that? to

336
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:55,760
accept all of this
>> just to enter into a joint application

337
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:59,600
with him.
>> Okay.

338
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:04,159
» I make a motion to enter into a joint
agreement with the town of Narita

339
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,679
regarding the prop 123.
I'll second

340
00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:11,440
» and will be delayed
>> and yeah will be delayed.

341
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:14,240
» Yes,
>> I'll second that too.

342
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:19,919
» Okay. So, all right. So, I have a motion
and a second uh to enter into enter into

343
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:23,840
a joint grant application for Prop 123.
This is dual funds with the town of

344
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:28,559
Natarita and the NFla the town of Na
will be the lead on the application.

345
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:30,799
Um
>> Brad

346
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:32,720
» yes
>> Tim

347
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:38,240
» yes
>> yes. Amy

348
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:42,000
» yes I vote yes. Motion carries.
>> And then leading into that is a letter

349
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:48,799
that I drafted this afternoon because
the deadline is so sharp. is 9:24 and we

350
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:52,640
know that um nothing fast happens in
government. Um so if you guys could look

351
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:59,200
if you all could look over that drafted
letter and get your feedback ASAP um

352
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:03,679
preferably first of next week so that we
can get it to the rest of the group

353
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:07,919
that's working on all of this and we can
roll. I think um I didn't read it yet

354
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:13,039
because I just thought, but I think um
the other thing we could do is

355
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:16,880
with um community builders and those
that are helping us go through this

356
00:29:14,399 --> 00:29:21,520
process is to make sure that this letter
of support and commitment meets whatever

357
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:26,399
guidelines is required by Prop 123 and
that application. So, um I think that

358
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,960
would be the thing I'd be the most
concerned about is that it meets the

359
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:36,080
demands of that application. Well,
there's one other thing that is to have

360
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,880
tread foundation do that.
>> I do have that written down here under

361
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:44,320
housing, but we might as well talk about
it now. The tread foundation um of

362
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:49,200
course does everybody know that prop 123
we we entered into that several years

363
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:53,600
back with a commitment to build x number
of affordable housings within the town

364
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:58,960
of UCLA. Not the town itself building
them, but that naturally occurred or

365
00:29:56,559 --> 00:30:04,799
what have you. Well, we haven't met our
numbers. So, um, and we're currently

366
00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:08,640
looking for some naturally occurring
homes that might meet the criteria that

367
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:13,760
we can count,
but we will need a waiver for us to stay

368
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:19,200
within the prop 123 program or we have
to take a year off without any funding

369
00:30:15,919 --> 00:30:25,520
from that program. So, um, the Tyr
Foundation has offered in kind to, um,

370
00:30:23,919 --> 00:30:30,159
put together that waiver on behalf of
the town of Nicola and also on the on

371
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:33,279
behalf of the town of Narita, which did
they agree to that, Tim? We backed a

372
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:37,200
little early.
>> So, um, I think we'd like to have the

373
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:42,320
board's blessing or a vote on that that
they could help us out. That takes a

374
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:49,840
burden off of our staff and it's a it's
a kind offer that they made. So, yeah.

375
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:51,919
Any thoughts on that? Her concerns?
>> Definitely something we shouldn't pass

376
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,679
up.
>> Ela Deus has taken the lead on that and

377
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:02,600
she's done a lot of research. So I think
she'll be able to uh put that together

378
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,600
relatively quickly for us.

379
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:10,960
» So I move make a motion that we accept
unless there's no discussion. Uh make a

380
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:16,600
motion we accept Foundation's offer to
uh do the waiver. We'll second that.

381
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:25,279
Okay. I have a motion and a second to
approve the inkind offer to prop 123

382
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:28,880
waiver for the town of Nla.
Any further discussion or Okay. Penny,

383
00:31:28,399 --> 00:31:30,399
» yes.
>> Amy,

384
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,600
» yes. Brad,
>> yes.

385
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,200
» Tim,
>> yes.

386
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,200
» Yes. Motion carried.

387
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:44,799
» Okay, it looks like we're to old
business. And these things at the top

388
00:31:42,159 --> 00:31:48,559
here, this uh policy review, I mean, we
do have work sessions kind of set up for

389
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:56,399
some of those. I think we need to
reschedu a work session for Landry's

390
00:31:52,399 --> 00:31:59,039
code, right? That's the one we that's a
financial audit.

391
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,799
» Oh, agenda.
>> I put an X next to that. So, I just

392
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:07,919
skipped right over it.
>> I was so excited.

393
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:12,799
» I'm so sorry. Okay, you brought it up.
We're going to talk about the 2025

394
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:16,720
financial audit reversal.
>> Dad Gummer.

395
00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:22,880
» I know.
Um,

396
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:28,480
yes, there it came in this week. Yay.
Um, which I don't know if anybody likes

397
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:33,279
$3, but you know, it's pretty standard.
Uh, there were no red flags, nothing

398
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:37,679
through the auditor's findings. Uh, and
it just needs if you would like to have

399
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,720
a little bit more time. It It is
currently due to the state like it's

400
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:46,480
kind of a little past due. Uh, no fault
of anyone's really. So, if you want to

401
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,240
look through it, feel free to knock
yourself out. I have a paper copy here.

402
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,919
Uh, if you approve it, then I can go
ahead and let Blair Associates know that

403
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,720
we accept it and we can forward it on to
the state. There were no, like I said,

404
00:32:55,039 --> 00:33:01,519
there were no red flags. There's nothing
through the cover letter of anything

405
00:32:58,399 --> 00:33:05,120
that needs to be aware of or
supplementary. Yeah.

406
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:09,320
» Was that in the shared boulder?
>> I believe I put it in the financial

407
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,799
that makes sense that you put it there.
So, so obviously I haven't read it

408
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:23,120
because I couldn't find it. It's very
interesting

409
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,600
financial section. I haven't got any.
So, I don't even think I got to their

410
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,360
summary.
>> Perfect. Uh, and we can

411
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,080
» Is it Did you say it's past the
deadline?

412
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:37,360
» It's It's Yeah, we've got a cruise
reminders. Um, which is okay. You know,

413
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:41,760
everybody gets them and well, those
have, but uh I think it will be okay for

414
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:48,240
the next meeting if you would would all
like to take some time. We said we got

415
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:53,440
it this week. We had a meeting and yeah,
>> this our first year with these guys.

416
00:33:50,399 --> 00:33:56,880
» Uh, no, it's our sixth.
Yeah,

417
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:01,519
» they changed a few years back and
>> we got the letter later this year.

418
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,919
» I ended up like finally reaching out and
I was like don't have an onion coming

419
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:09,520
out. So,
but yeah, so I will reach out to them

420
00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:14,159
and ask them to reach out to the state
and let them know that we will the board

421
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:18,320
approved on the next meeting. Is that
fair?

422
00:34:15,839 --> 00:34:24,079
» Okay. Thank you and thank you for
telling me that you appreciate that.

423
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:27,040
Okay. Now, sorry about the heck of it. I
guess we'll jump down to old business

424
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:32,560
now.
So, if memory serves me correct, we have

425
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:38,000
another work session on uh October 6,
which is more discussion about

426
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:43,119
governance framework and um our plans
and goals. And so, the reschedule is

427
00:34:41,359 --> 00:34:46,560
going to be for the land use and
development code, which I think we

428
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:52,159
probably need to do that fairly soon
because I think Gab's waiting on us uh

429
00:34:49,359 --> 00:34:56,159
for next steps.
We'll see.

430
00:34:53,119 --> 00:35:01,400
» Are we going to try and
do some discussion with Marita then over

431
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,400
the

432
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:07,520
» land use code?
Um I would be happy to reach out to

433
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:14,160
them. You know, we've invited them to
participate, but maybe we need to

434
00:35:11,839 --> 00:35:19,520
talk further.
How about how about I um I'll get a hold

435
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:22,640
of Mayor Greenwood and just see what his
thoughts are. How's that?

436
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,960
» Since it's tied into this one, two,
three things.

437
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:35,160
» So, any dates possible for rescheduled
for the land use codes.

438
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:43,760
And then without Darla here, I really
can't remember for sure what when she's

439
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,760
gonna be she was on bed. Must be
September.

440
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:59,920
» We do multiple topics on the six. I
mean, well, we have two that we're

441
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:04,960
potentially going to talk about if we
can get through them. So,

442
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:10,040
I guess it depends on how much time you
guys want to set aside for the work

443
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,040
session.

444
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:20,720
» I'm pretty flexible as long as I have a
little bit of heads up.

445
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:28,400
» Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
>> Yeah. I'm flexible, too. We can try to

446
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:33,440
get to a couple of six. Is that what
>> Yeah.

447
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:37,680
when the next um the next board meeting
in October would be the 14th. Do you

448
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:44,400
think we could maybe talk about the land
use stuff uh do a work session before

449
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:48,320
that meeting on the 14th
>> because we know what the topics are that

450
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,359
I mean he sent out an email with some of
the stuff we need to give clarification

451
00:36:49,839 --> 00:36:56,520
on. So future
>> I would think if we did 5:30 which was

452
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,520
more probably get

453
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:05,440
here
>> 10

454
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:10,560
on the 14th
>> so the 14th

455
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:15,440
» 14th at at 5:30 for the land use code
and we'll keep the six the governance

456
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:20,960
with truck in our plans and goals. So,
we have two,

457
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:26,480
one to 6, 1 to 14th,
and I think those at 5:30.

458
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:32,480
Okay.
Does that work for everybody or at least

459
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:37,920
place markers? All right. Um,
we also have on our calendar a joint

460
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:44,400
work session with the West End Fel um
school board on the 15th of September at

461
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:46,400
5:30 in community center
>> at the community center

462
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:50,640
» at the community center.
>> And this will be a discussion regarding

463
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:54,560
the EMF testing.
>> Um,

464
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:57,359
and I guess there'll be a review of any
bids that were received.

465
00:37:55,839 --> 00:38:02,960
» Yeah. And it's still just the one. I
reached back out to all the other and Is

466
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:06,720
this an open meeting or
>> Well, it's open, but all work sessions

467
00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:10,119
for us or the school board would be
open. Yeah,

468
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:15,200
» it's kind of just a reminder that we did
push link.

469
00:38:13,359 --> 00:38:17,680
» Yeah, we just have been trying to make
sure everybody knows when it's going to

470
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:22,240
be because it took us a long time to
find a date that they could meet, we can

471
00:38:19,359 --> 00:38:27,760
meet all that. So,
>> and then the um any other conversation

472
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:32,320
on any of those things?
Yeah, it wouldn't be I don't think they

473
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,160
want you didn't want public comment at
the

474
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,920
» dor meeting.
>> You didn't take public comment, but it's

475
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:39,680
an open meeting. It's an open open
public meeting. So,

476
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,760
» yeah.
>> And it'll be the same manner. No

477
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:47,560
streaming or anything cuz Yeah. Just the
exact same kind of thing.

478
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:56,960
» Any updates on this Black Hills
franchise lease renewal? I did ask Drew

479
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:01,280
to look into the increase on the char
the rental because it's a little

480
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:05,599
antiquated and that maybe you know we
need to evaluate that and so I haven't

481
00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:11,040
heard back on it yet.
>> So is this our deadline that's on here?

482
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:16,800
» Um yeah it was it was begin it was up to
renew the first of September. So they

483
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:19,800
just sent it to us in like January
March.

484
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:26,960
All right.
And then we also have on here the

485
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:33,200
vertical bridge contract revision. Is
there any updates on that? Uh we got

486
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:36,640
some language back from the N&TC
attorney that has been forwarded to Ruth

487
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:39,839
in Florida to look it over and just make
sure that you know and then he had

488
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,200
reached out and asked if maybe they
should just stop attorney language and I

489
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:47,119
think that that's the right opening
thing. It's for them to just because

490
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:52,000
it's lost all the good and then he'll
review it and have his comments for you

491
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:54,640
guys to review before you know we going
with everybody.

492
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:59,320
» Yeah, I read three red lines but I
didn't see anything hard.

493
00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:02,599
» Okay.

494
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:13,359
And we as everyone know have an open
trustee seat and we have put out for

495
00:40:09,359 --> 00:40:20,160
letters of intent. We received one which
was um Mr. James Pierce

496
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:26,400
and I do think I seen an email from
Jessica saying that the they were

497
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:31,280
requesting further letters of intent.
Any conversation about that?

498
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:36,400
» Yeah, I just had a few questions. It was
more like since we only got one, do we

499
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:40,079
all just thumbs up, congratulations,
James, or

500
00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:42,880
» No, you can you can build from one
letter.

501
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:47,920
It depends on where you are, but you
have to fill the seat circle. So, you

502
00:40:45,359 --> 00:40:53,440
just got to keep within that time frame.
>> Yeah. What is our time frame? 30 days.

503
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:59,200
» Oh, so I was going to say more than
that, but

504
00:40:55,839 --> 00:41:03,280
» I was thinking a trigger. I will look I
think it's 60.

505
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:09,760
» Yes.
>> And we're still within that, but

506
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:13,359
yeah.
Okay.

507
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:18,160
Any other questions?
>> Yeah. I was I didn't know how if we just

508
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:22,240
got one how that worked. We would still
interview and then

509
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:28,079
it's great.
>> Good job. Or

510
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:31,200
» or if we had to extend the deadline or
>> you may extend.

511
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:34,720
» Yeah. You just have to make sure that we
meet the statuto.

512
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:40,319
» Okay.
>> Actively seeking to fulfill a position.

513
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:45,200
So,
all right. Anything else on that?

514
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:50,079
All right. We have one resolution on
here that we're just leaving tabled.

515
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:56,160
This has to do with the our governance
framework and adoption and we're not

516
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:59,920
we're not there yet. So,
uh we'll move on to our reports and

517
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:03,839
announcements.
Mustang Water Authority has not met

518
00:42:01,839 --> 00:42:10,640
since our last meeting. So, we don't
have an update for you though. and the

519
00:42:07,359 --> 00:42:15,839
West End Housing Committee have met and
a lot of it had to do with what we

520
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:23,119
talked about tonight was the Prop 12 to3
opportunity the waiver um pretty much

521
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:28,560
pretty much and then of course as I
mentioned at the last meeting the the

522
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:34,880
further development of the West End
Community Land Trust and moving forward

523
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:43,240
with that. So, um I did see that they
have bylaws drawn up and they're they're

524
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:43,240
moving forward pretty quickly. So, yeah.

525
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:51,119
Let's see.
Anything else? Any announcements there

526
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:55,040
that I missed from anyone?
Don't see anybody from the chamber here

527
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:59,680
or dark
economic development. All right, we'll

528
00:42:57,839 --> 00:43:03,240
move to staff in reports and turn it
over to Miss Jessica.

529
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:12,079
Um
well 2025 audit is complete and the base

530
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:17,839
review which means that also we got our
um assessor paperworks and budget the

531
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:22,560
budget season has officially started.
Um so we'll start diving into some of

532
00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:27,440
that. We'll need to schedule probably a
work session um somewhere beginning of

533
00:43:25,839 --> 00:43:31,599
the end of October, probably beginning
of November so that we can all sit down

534
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:39,720
and review it in its first draft mode
and then maybe a second one before we

535
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:39,720
finalize it to send it in December. Um

536
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:45,359
we
are dealing with a few more difficult

537
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:50,800
issues
in town. Um, we're finding that there's

538
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:54,720
a lot of code and we're starting to make
notes. There's a lot of codes that don't

539
00:43:52,640 --> 00:44:00,240
align with each other, whether it's with
fees or whether it's language or um like

540
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:05,599
when you're trying to pursue something,
it kind of contradicts like what we can

541
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:12,480
and cannot do. For example, um eviction
of a like not eviction is a bad word. Um

542
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:15,440
to remove somebody for not following the
water and sewer laws, you have to have

543
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,560
water. have to have sewer to be in their
home.

544
00:44:17,359 --> 00:44:22,400
» Is that a mystery?
>> Yeah. And so we're finding that the

545
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:26,319
language in our own code is
contradicting some things and so even

546
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:30,800
the attorney's been looking it over and
he's having a hard time helping us like

547
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:36,560
get to that point. So we're making notes
of that so that when we talk in our land

548
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:42,160
use code updates, maybe we can re revise
some of that and line it up. Um, right

549
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:48,160
now we have the right to find someone in
that instance like $1,000 a day. But you

550
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:51,280
have to think like somebody get $1,000 a
day ticket if they can't pay their water

551
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:56,480
and sewer bill, they're probably not
going to be able to pay $1,000 a day.

552
00:44:54,319 --> 00:45:01,520
Um, and we could remove them forcefully
and have them sent to jail,

553
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:07,599
but I mean those are very extreme
circumstances. I I feel you know um so

554
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,480
there's just a few things that like that
that we're really struggling with and

555
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:16,960
it's been occupying a lot of meetings
with uh David and I the code enforcement

556
00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:22,400
officer. Um another one is we had talked
with Gabe during our land use and code

557
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:27,599
update about a demolition
ordinance in the building code and

558
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:31,520
that's kind of been a thing. Um,
we're trying to figure out what to do

559
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:37,200
with the 520 Main Street house that
burned down in 25 June 25. It's between

560
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:40,400
the library and the briding iron. And
recently there was reported activity of

561
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:45,440
kids playing in it.
>> Well, that's dangerous. It's a hazard.

562
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:50,160
And I can fall back on that and say you
need to board it up. But

563
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,960
» I'm asking the property owner to get me
a timeline of what we're going to do

564
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,880
forward. What are you going to do to
remediate it? I was told by the fire

565
00:45:54,640 --> 00:46:01,599
chief it was a total loss and I was
reported to the insurance company. Well

566
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:08,079
then I need you to do something. I
really need you to do something.

567
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:11,920
» And so um I'm in talks with them because
uh kids playing in it. It's going to get

568
00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:16,079
cold. We have a few people who don't
really have places to stay in town and I

569
00:46:14,319 --> 00:46:21,440
can imagine that that will be prime real
estate when it comes to snow flying. So,

570
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:25,760
um, those are kind of some big things
that we've been dealing with and we've

571
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:30,720
been talking to the judge and, um, few
different things. And then,

572
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:34,480
uh, the library, Sue's got a bunch of
fun stuff on the horizon. She'll be

573
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:39,760
making a presentation, um, before she
submits anything to the West Pay It

574
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:44,000
Forward. Um, she,
yeah, I mean, she's go get her. I

575
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:46,960
submitted to her, I gave her the
information where we did the main street

576
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:50,640
assessment and kind of the design and
how everybody um wanted that to all look

577
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:55,119
and the public comments and everything.
She's going to be integrating that into

578
00:46:52,800 --> 00:47:01,440
her grant and her application process
and she's got big ideas. Uh and she's

579
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:04,160
got more libraries are a little niche.
There's a lot of money for them out

580
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:08,800
there. A lot. You just have to go get
it. Uh, so she's working really hard on

581
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:12,880
that and she's starting some programs
with the kids. Um, first chapter

582
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,680
Fridays. She wants the kids to come in
and read in the mornings and maybe some

583
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:19,599
of the older kids can come in and do
maybe a creative writing or something,

584
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:23,280
you know, and so she's working with the
school. She's working with the

585
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:27,599
superintendent and the principal. She
went up there and read the littles today

586
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:34,079
and she was very excited. She got a hug.
Um, so it's just pretty exciting. That

587
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:38,319
is met with Corey today. He starts his
official position next

588
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:42,319
Wednesday the 16th. We needed to bump it
out. He he had a family he lost a family

589
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:47,839
member and so he has a funeral to go to
on Monday. And so he's going to meet

590
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:52,400
with Rod sir and tour all the facilities
and get to know everything. He's going

591
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:55,920
to probably come out to my standard
and

592
00:47:54,319 --> 00:47:58,480
» the 16th, but I will have them get in
contact with you instead of make sure

593
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:02,640
you might be.
>> I'll probably No, I'll probably be gone

594
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:06,480
or after the 16th. I might still be
there the 16th.

595
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:08,960
» Okay. All right. Um and we can schedule
that later. I just want him to kind of

596
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:12,400
get a feel cuz he's not from around
here. So, I want him to be able to take

597
00:48:10,319 --> 00:48:17,760
a tour of everything and just talk to
Rod for the first two days and then he

598
00:48:15,359 --> 00:48:23,520
and I'll sit down on the 21st and kind
of make a plan of action of a few things

599
00:48:21,119 --> 00:48:26,559
just that I've got a list of priorities
in there and I'm sure that you guys are

600
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:30,559
going to have a list of priorities and
so we just kind of need to get some

601
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:35,599
organization going. um figure out the on
call

602
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:38,960
uh how to designate that and get his
computer up and going and having him

603
00:48:37,119 --> 00:48:42,640
introduced to Jensen brothers who always
did our tasks and do our work and stuff.

604
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:49,920
So trying to kind of throw him to wolves
but not throw him to wolves so

605
00:48:47,359 --> 00:48:55,359
I go back to just the uh
>> you're talking really fast couldn't get

606
00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:00,559
in there. Um code enforcement regarding
you know the properties and such. I know

607
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:04,240
you've been working with the 545.
>> So, I'm kind of I guess I'll speak as a

608
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,200
citizen for just a minute. 545 6th
Avenue.

609
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:09,839
» Mhm.
>> Across the street from my house. Um I

610
00:49:07,599 --> 00:49:15,599
called law enforcement once last night.
>> They did come by a second time. Um

611
00:49:13,839 --> 00:49:17,760
there's a heavy drug activity there and
I'm not really sure why something can't

612
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:21,359
be done.
>> I know it's not up to you for law

613
00:49:19,119 --> 00:49:23,040
enforcement. Um she's out street last
night in her underwear.

614
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:27,839
» Okay.
>> And about that's about it.

615
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:33,920
» Yeah. screaming, yelling after 11:00 at
night. Um, they did swing by. He had to

616
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:38,559
go outside. Um, they did swing by, but
they don't do anything.

617
00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:42,160
» So, um, they did even stop in the
street, but then they went on and went

618
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:45,359
around and and disappeared. Came back
probably after 11. I was asleep. This is

619
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:50,720
my daughter was up. She told me they
came back. But they're not contacting

620
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:56,720
this person as far as I know.
>> Okay. And I've been asking the citizens

621
00:49:53,359 --> 00:50:00,240
that do um like finally follow and then
keep your comments tonight, please call

622
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:03,200
the sheriff's and get it on the report
and then you can also file a complaint

623
00:50:01,839 --> 00:50:07,920
with us and we can add it to ours
because we get copies of those reports

624
00:50:05,599 --> 00:50:12,319
» and it's
you know that I hate to use the word

625
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:16,559
ammunition but it kind of helps us build
the case and we talked to our judge and

626
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:22,319
he's like okay this is what now I want
to do. I called in. It's a record. So

627
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:26,400
» I think if you I think if you first
should he call the sheriff, but I think

628
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:30,800
the town should also be notified that
the sheriff has called

629
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:35,200
» as a matter of number
>> and we Okay. Yeah. And so that way we're

630
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:39,040
kind of if we know that our citizens are
letting us know that they've already

631
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:44,880
also contacted our home and we can have
a conversation if they

632
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:48,680
» Yeah. It's getting it's bad.
I've been noticing kids.

633
00:50:50,079 --> 00:50:57,760
» The suggestion they gave me because I've
been fighting this for 3 years as all of

634
00:50:54,880 --> 00:51:03,920
you know. I put up cameras and they
suggest that people put up cameras

635
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:08,319
because the cameras do not lie. And
that's what I recommend to every

636
00:51:05,359 --> 00:51:12,800
citizen. You have a camera because if
they come and you got here safe, that

637
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:18,319
doesn't do any good. But if you got it
on video, if you can get her in her

638
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:21,599
underwear or whatever on video,
>> you'll be you'll have a case.

639
00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:26,960
» But that camera doesn't hold up in a
court of law unless you've got a sticker

640
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:31,200
saying be, excuse me, the court.
>> Correct.

641
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:36,160
» Which matters malt did tell me anything
I report on, I have to be willing to be

642
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:40,160
a witness and testify in court, which is
no problem.

643
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:44,960
» You must have been fast asleep. I'm not
hearing anything about the

644
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:47,960
» obviously I was going to say
anything.

645
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,480
» Thank you.
>> Yeah.

646
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:57,119
» So I want to circle back to the way I
understand her back in ter

647
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:02,960
back.
>> She's never really left. So why can't we

648
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:07,520
make a list of
>> buildings that are

649
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:12,400
» obviously vacant, derelict, and
basically abandoned? Mhm.

650
00:52:09,839 --> 00:52:15,680
» And we just send letters and say you
will order the money cuz that's in the

651
00:52:14,559 --> 00:52:18,960
code.
>> That's the part we can enforce. But I

652
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:24,720
think
>> Yeah. Yes. And he sent a letter um on

653
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:30,000
the 1st of September and I told him if
he if the town does not receive a

654
00:52:27,119 --> 00:52:34,160
response by next week, I sent I have
another letter drafted that's a little

655
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:38,160
bit more. I think we need to he I think
he needs to go out and make a list for

656
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:42,319
those properties, not just that one
because there are more than that.

657
00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:48,160
» You do you recall back when we had a
property where there was uh was kind of

658
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:51,040
being used for outdoor
restroom situation.

659
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:55,440
That's
>> there's no way that there's no way that

660
00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:57,520
can't be happening across the street.
>> No way.

661
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:02,720
» Yeah.
>> Can't you contain it?

662
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:06,960
» It's quite a process to get it. Yeah,
there's

663
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:10,720
» it's such a process and I think that
that was part of what we were

664
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:16,319
discovering with gate with you know we
didn't have this certain part of

665
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:20,880
whatever the 1997 building code
>> revise your whole briefing code system

666
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:24,880
up the upgrade to the latest and
greatest of course so

667
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:29,839
» and align it with the state of Colorado
and all of the green

668
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:32,160
» um building upgraded building
terminology which

669
00:53:31,119 --> 00:53:38,319
» carbon
Yeah.

670
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:41,760
» And I keep falling back on
we are in charge of the community

671
00:53:40,319 --> 00:53:46,400
safety. We are in charge of the
community's health and we are in charge

672
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:50,000
of helping the helping our community
address problems like this. So it's we

673
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:53,359
have
don't want to sound like selfish but

674
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:56,800
there we have to have that power
somewhere and it's written there.

675
00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:00,480
» And if it's a health and safety hazard
then

676
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:05,359
» let's divide them. Bad's going to
happen. She's been She's sleeping in the

677
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:08,400
street. She's sitting in the street. She
was in a pile of garbage

678
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:13,200
» the other night.
>> She needs

679
00:54:10,319 --> 00:54:16,400
» She needs some help. It's very sad. Um,
>> welcome to New Year.

680
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:20,559
» That's what I feel. Sometimes some You
never know what's going to turn somebody

681
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:23,599
around. Could be getting arrested,
>> you know, and could be things like that.

682
00:54:22,319 --> 00:54:27,680
» So, people the same people that are
going by your house are walking by my

683
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:31,839
house. And that's what I'm worried about
is that when this house next to the

684
00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:35,920
branding iron
>> it when it becomes cold, they're all

685
00:54:34,319 --> 00:54:39,280
going to seek shelter,
>> you know, and that's why we lock up the

686
00:54:37,359 --> 00:54:45,520
park and the rest more restrooms anyway
to find because and I So anyway, so I

687
00:54:43,359 --> 00:54:50,319
have all ears on any direction
>> with the old DFW bill back there. So if

688
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:55,119
anybody but I just wanted to bring it to
your attention that we know and we do

689
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,040
know
>> one more thing I was

690
00:54:56,079 --> 00:55:02,160
» oh sorry
>> one more thing I was informed about by

691
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:08,720
law enforcement is it is up to the
officer's discretion what he decides to

692
00:55:05,359 --> 00:55:16,400
do and this came from Montrose County
over there from there to here and so a

693
00:55:13,119 --> 00:55:21,520
lot of things the deputies around here
I'm not going to put them down or But a

694
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:26,240
lot of things get swept under the rug or
they get a little slap on the wrist or

695
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:30,240
nothing happens.
>> Well, a lot of that discretion goes back

696
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:34,000
to the way I do it. DA is just going to
turn me loose.

697
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:37,599
» Well, that's true. But that's that's
your job.

698
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:42,640
» That's a whole another issue.
>> You know that that that's a lot bigger

699
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:48,400
fish to fry. But I'm just talking about
for the talent input.

700
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:52,319
Anything
else?

701
00:55:49,839 --> 00:55:55,599
» No, I mean there's lots of other things.
>> Any questions for Jessica?

702
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,720
Chris,
>> I have two questions.

703
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:04,240
» Okay. Well, one's a question, one's a
comment. Um, talking about the library,

704
00:56:01,359 --> 00:56:09,119
I go in there pretty regularly. I don't
have any idea what my ID number is in

705
00:56:07,359 --> 00:56:15,040
there because I've been going so long
that they just pull it up. It's okay. He

706
00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:20,000
soon has made some incredible changes in
there. It's so pleasant.

707
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:24,160
» It's like It's very w I told her today,
"This is so welcoming." I You just walk

708
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:27,040
in here and you feel like, "Wow, this is
a place you want to come in and read,

709
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,680
get some books, and
>> it's good."

710
00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:32,720
» Yeah, it's really good. She You got a
gem out of her. That's all I can say.

711
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:38,000
» We 100%ed.
>> And yeah, and um I just wondered if that

712
00:56:36,079 --> 00:56:42,960
property next to the branding iron,
would that would that even come close to

713
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:47,119
qualifying for Prop 123?
Well, they'd have to want to sell the

714
00:56:44,319 --> 00:56:52,119
property or relinquish it for anything
to be able to be done. Well, it might be

715
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,119
an incentive.

716
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:59,920
» Joseph, do you know anything?
>> Well, you've done you've done a ton of

717
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:04,079
research on all that. Am I incorrect? I
mean, the property for it to to

718
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:07,359
» that property isn't full of anything
except demolition.

719
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:12,559
» Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. I think a bulldozer off the thing.

720
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:17,920
I don't know if they'll done with
investigations and all that.

721
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:22,000
» That's a big deal.
>> The fire chief said that his report was

722
00:57:19,839 --> 00:57:29,040
final and he hadn't heard anything about
it since last summer cuz I told him

723
00:57:24,559 --> 00:57:32,559
about some scuttle in the Grand Junction
case right now with the same person. And

724
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,000
he's like, I haven't heard anything
about it. Nobody's called me with the

725
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:40,440
right reports.
So, I don't know if they're linked or

726
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,440
not, but

727
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:46,559
this whole thing.
>> What's What's the deal going on with the

728
00:57:45,359 --> 00:57:49,680
roar? We still
>> I think we're going to talk about that.

729
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:54,160
Yeah,
>> Mr. President,

730
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:57,359
so it falls in your court, bud.
>> I just want to know if we're using our

731
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:01,520
water.
>> People making good use of it. So that's

732
00:58:00,799 --> 00:58:06,000
why I asked
>> I'll ask I'll ask that question cost

733
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:11,760
» because I guess this side for today and
when I went to

734
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:15,200
take a left to uh a checkup today.
>> Mhm.

735
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:19,359
» There's numerous sprinkers on the east
side of town.

736
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:22,799
» But are they on ditch water?
>> I'm sure they are because they're in the

737
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:26,960
trailer park.
>> Oh, the beaches.

738
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:31,920
» Oh yeah, that's Yeah.
>> On that note, too. of the trailer park

739
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:36,240
on 6th Avenue. I finally contacted the
owner myself because they were never

740
00:58:34,559 --> 00:58:38,400
they were watering whatever they wanted.
Of course, there's only like one yard

741
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:43,160
thing.
>> There's a few of them around.

742
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,160
» Yeah,

743
00:58:43,839 --> 00:58:50,640
» but I see the pressure is up and
everything. I don't know if people might

744
00:58:47,839 --> 00:58:55,319
be cutting hair or what, but
>> yeah, I see I see more pressure.

745
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:03,119
» I'm going to say yes. But see, I don't
really count because it's not my side of

746
00:59:00,319 --> 00:59:06,079
town that struggles with water. So I I
have to You guys that are struggling are

747
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:09,359
the ones that need to speak up and say,
"Are you getting water? You're not

748
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:16,319
getting water.
>> I just municipal the water."

749
00:59:13,119 --> 00:59:18,960
» I haven't gotten water in months.
>> I haven't tried.

750
00:59:17,119 --> 00:59:24,640
» There's people started. So I mean,
right, you're standing water. Is there

751
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:29,359
something wrong with the pipe or
>> Yeah, I thought you had your sprinkle

752
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:33,119
room a couple weeks ago. That little
portly thing out there.

753
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,720
» Yeah, cuz I had it turned on and then
that was a Sunday.

754
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:38,640
» Okay.
>> I had to go shut that off because I had

755
00:59:36,559 --> 00:59:40,240
it opened up on the day that I could
water

756
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:44,319
» and then it
>> If you're not getting water, could we do

757
00:59:42,079 --> 00:59:50,319
something with her in the situation on
on a Sunday like we're doing with

758
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:56,799
» Yeah. Oh, and this year, I mean, it's
I'm I'm done watering and trying to

759
00:59:53,119 --> 00:59:59,280
water and looking at my plants. So, I
mean, this year is just about over. I'm

760
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:03,920
just
>> Well, it helps your next spring, though.

761
01:00:01,599 --> 01:00:08,799
» Yeah. I'm going to have to plant some
more this fall, some more grass, and see

762
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:13,200
if I can't get him to bounce back.
>> Well, if you got trees, get some water.

763
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:19,040
And I got to be flattered of my apple
trees and and my heirloom stuff that I

764
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:22,319
can't lose. But
>> I would think anybody I'm just going to

765
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:26,240
say this out loud in case someone's, you
know, zoomed in. If you're on the west

766
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:32,079
side of town and you're still struggling
to get water on your water days, please

767
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:36,720
contact the town. You know, maybe there
is another option to variance for some

768
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:41,119
of these people to water on Sunday if it
will help or if it if it even gets you

769
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:46,400
any water. So
yeah, and I think people just like what

770
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:52,079
uh Scott reported tonight, people are
still not following the water schedule,

771
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:55,520
which takes it away from their
neighbors.

772
01:00:52,559 --> 01:00:58,480
» You know, before all this took about,
you know, I've been talking to Sher and

773
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:03,599
I. I said, "Well, why don't you switch
the park back over? You know, she

774
01:01:01,359 --> 01:01:06,240
» she likes her park.
>> We all do."

775
01:01:04,799 --> 01:01:09,200
» I said, "Well, why don't you talk to the
town and see if you can't put it back on

776
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:14,880
city water?" Mhm.
>> Then she come back that afternoon and

777
01:01:10,799 --> 01:01:20,480
she and she told they said no.
>> And then that's when all of the the

778
01:01:18,079 --> 01:01:24,000
drinking water was nasty and I helped
flush the whole system if you put

779
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:27,280
» we did talk about that too.
>> Yeah.

780
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:31,520
» And it since we switched it to the the
other days it's the right has helped of

781
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:36,960
course. Um,
>> she's running the full zone of Spring

782
01:01:34,559 --> 01:01:39,520
now that we put them on the same as the
east side

783
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:44,960
» and there's been a lot of citizens that
have come in and said

784
01:01:41,119 --> 01:01:49,440
» great job because they were not ready
back and that's why I say maybe Amy

785
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:52,880
could go to go to a Sunday and
>> maybe get something.

786
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:57,200
» Yeah.
>> Drinking water's cleared up

787
01:01:54,480 --> 01:02:04,040
tremendously.
>> Park and Amy came to the east side.

788
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,040
date.

789
01:02:04,559 --> 01:02:12,640
» So maybe we put that also for next year
if we're maybe won't be maybe.

790
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:18,319
» Yeah. And hopefully we're going to get
something to help with

791
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:22,799
the version two. So it's not going to be
there's been a lot of grief over the you

792
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:27,280
know social media but people saying well
how can you charge for what you're not

793
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:32,319
getting? You know, if she hasn't had it
for a month and a half, then

794
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:36,480
» Oh, for the raw water. Yeah.
>> So, in the ordinance, it states that

795
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:41,920
it's $120 for the season, right?
>> Regardless of nature, and we allow

796
01:02:39,599 --> 01:02:47,119
people to make $20 a month payments for
that 120. So, it it's pretty clear that

797
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:50,960
it just says you get what you get.
>> But people don't understand.

798
01:02:48,319 --> 01:02:53,839
» I know. I have this conversation every
day.

799
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:58,079
» Well, I'm not unsympathetic to that.
>> Yeah. It doesn't bother me any because I

800
01:02:56,079 --> 01:03:03,760
It's unlimited use and then when it's
there then you can use it use

801
01:03:01,839 --> 01:03:08,400
» and it's not that different than other
municipalities that actually do have a

802
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:14,559
raw water system. It's far more
expensive but it's a similar

803
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:20,160
» every time people drive on it just tell
them look at Norwood they get maybe

804
01:03:17,599 --> 01:03:24,240
three weeks out of it. You know,
>> we're super blessed with the water that

805
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:28,079
we have that with the ditch. I mean, I
can't even like,

806
01:03:25,599 --> 01:03:31,839
» yeah, I've listened to the to the other
ditch companies and stuff and I'm like,

807
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,839
oh my gosh, I'm so glad I don't have to
deal

808
01:03:35,599 --> 01:03:37,599
» Oh my gosh,
>> we don't have any.

809
01:03:37,039 --> 01:03:41,839
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. Just town Norwood, learning what

810
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:45,039
they deal with. I'm like,
>> you know,

811
01:03:43,599 --> 01:03:47,119
I mean, I don't say that, but I'm like,
it's just weird not to have water, you

812
01:03:46,799 --> 01:03:53,760
know?
>> Yeah. Mhm.

813
01:03:51,039 --> 01:03:58,319
» Build that down 15 years ago.
>> I still bring that up too. Yeah.

814
01:03:56,559 --> 01:04:03,280
» Storage tell me.
>> Is there anything else

815
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:07,039
about him?
>> I have it in public right now. The only

816
01:04:06,079 --> 01:04:11,200
one.
>> Okay.

817
01:04:08,079 --> 01:04:15,520
» And then the new guy
and he and I sat in on he sat in on an

818
01:04:13,599 --> 01:04:20,000
interview this afternoon.
>> Um and the kid

819
01:04:18,079 --> 01:04:23,200
really was kind of open for
>> a first time position because he'

820
01:04:21,839 --> 01:04:27,839
already taken another position that he
really kind of wanted to involve with

821
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:30,319
said he didn't for that right now that
he's got to get started and situated

822
01:04:29,599 --> 01:04:35,440
that
>> yeah and I told him I said it's up to

823
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:41,599
you know that it's going to work for you
>> um but yeah but we're going back

824
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:45,760
we're going to sit and interview
together and just kind of slam something

825
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:50,400
off and I hope for good
>> I think is opening up for applications

826
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:54,160
since he's coming on board. Maybe we'll
find the right fit. So,

827
01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:57,400
» and he's excited.
>> That's good.

828
01:04:58,559 --> 01:05:04,240
» All right. Uh if there's not anything
else for this evening, I would entertain

829
01:05:02,079 --> 01:05:08,160
a motion to adjurnn.
>> Motion to adjourn.

830
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:12,640
» I'll second the motion to second to
adjurnn. All those in favor? I. Anyone
