We are required to 651 00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:49,520 maintain our property just like we want 652 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,200 people to maintain their properties in 653 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,880 town.

Okay. 660 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,880 >> Good. Um, I want to make it clear. First 661 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,359 of all, I support maintaining the 662 00:37:11,359 --> 00:37:13,440 town-owned property of an Anco High 663 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,079 School, but the expertise to fund the 664 00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:20,320 repairs is not here. Council without 665 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,680 disscent directed the town manager to 666 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,160 obtain an engineering mechanical study 667 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,839 of the high school. It was not obtained. 668 00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:33,200 Instead, what we do have is a bid from a 669 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,040 roofing contractor, a bid from an HVAC 670 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,800 contractor, and a real estate developer. 671 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,400 It is important to note this process 672 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,280 does not follow the guidelines of our 673 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,320 procurement policy. 674 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,640 Let's put it this way. You're a 675 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,400 landlord. 676 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,960 Your renter comes to you and hands you 677 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,240 two estimates for repairs. 678 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:02,400 You would not tell the renter to hire 679 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,640 his contractors and then write the 680 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,599 renter a check. I think not. I would not 681 00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:12,160 and I think you would not either. It is 682 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,960 not good business practice and does not 683 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,160 follow and this is very important. It 684 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,280 does not follow the council adopted 685 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,400 procurement policy which states we must 686 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,960 receive three bids and council must 687 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,839 approve the bids. 688 00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:32,720 Splits are intensive maintenance. Each 689 00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:35,920 unit every year must be serviced. The 690 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,920 taxpayers will bear the expenses of 691 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,599 yearly maintenance for each split unit. 692 00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:44,800 This is not a sound financial decision 693 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,520 but an emotional decision. 694 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,760 We must fulfill our fidiciary 695 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,160 responsibility and practice due 696 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,680 diligence. I have some questions. 697 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,480 It is difficult to proceed without a 698 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,960 budget from the school. I was told it 699 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,119 was on their website, but I have not 700 00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:06,000 been able to access it. How can we 701 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,599 proceed without a clue as to financial 702 00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,320 viability? I was given this tonight by 703 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,119 Cindy. I did not receive this in my 704 00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:18,880 email.

We've heard all the difficulties 759 00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:49,920 of trying to get engineering studies, of 760 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,520 trying to afford engineering studies, of 761 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,359 trying to get estimates, of people 762 00:41:55,359 --> 00:41:57,760 backing out because quite frankly, we 763 00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,599 were pretty indecisive about the whole 764 00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:03,520 process. Um, and so I think it comes 765 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,880 down to a decision of do we want the 766 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,520 school to continue functioning or not? 767 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,040 And the expedient thing to do is to make 768 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,040 the repairs as best we can and move on 769 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,040 and continue the good things that the 770 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,160 school's providing to the community.

I think as a small town, we've 775 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,440 done the best we could. We're not 776 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,440 perfect by any means, but we've kind of 777 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,119 struggled through this process, listened 778 00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:42,720 to many different voices. Um, 779 00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:44,880 you have to understand that only a few 780 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,839 people come to our council meetings. 781 00:42:47,839 --> 00:42:49,920 They tend to be pretty much the same 782 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,680 people meeting after meeting saying 783 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,359 pretty much the same things over and 784 00:42:53,359 --> 00:42:57,119 over, frequently on the same topics. 785 00:42:57,119 --> 00:43:00,560 There are also the 1,200 people out 786 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,960 there that don't come to the meetings 787 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,560 ever and we have to try to anticipate 788 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,440 what their opinions might be.

We will have to go through 807 00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:49,760 the procurement process. we will have to 808 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,440 advertise get three bids back right back 809 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,880 like any project would be done for the 810 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,160 town. So we're not we're not handing 811 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,000 them the money and let them do with the 812 00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,839 two bids they have. Those two bids might 813 00:43:59,839 --> 00:44:01,520 be the might be the ones that get it, 814 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,800 but we're going to go back through the 815 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,480 procurement process. And my 816 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,319 recommendation would be to hire some 817 00:44:06,319 --> 00:44:08,240 kind of person, you know, a project 818 00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:11,040 manager to look it over, you know, you 819 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,560 know, licensed engineer to look at it, 820 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:13,760 make sure that, you know, things are 821 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,359 going right. But we're not going to 822 00:44:15,359 --> 00:44:17,280 violate the town procurement policy. 823 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,319 that would be against our policy. So, uh 824 00:44:20,319 --> 00:44:22,160 that that's just the two things I I have 825 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,640 if if we if you proceed with this. Yeah. 826 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,920 Okay.

They're not in the last couple 1003 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,960 of years, but there have been serious 1004 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,040 studies done of the building, and 1005 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,040 there's been a lot of work done since 1006 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,640 those were done. Um 1007 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:57,200 the the roof is crucial there. With this 1008 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,200 last massive rain, there were some 1009 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,240 issues. We're addressing those with 1010 00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:05,280 additional gutters and some other 1011 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,079 work. But the bigger work of the roof is 1012 00:53:08,079 --> 00:53:11,440 necessary to protect the building as a 1013 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,200 whole and avoid further damage of 1014 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,760 contents and and the rest of damage of 1015 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,720 the rest of the structure. 1016 00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:24,400 The HVAC is necessary because if the 1017 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,680 boiler when the boiler rusts through the 1018 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,400 bottom, the building will not be usable 1019 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,880 in the winter. 1020 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,599 The building the boiler was put in when 1021 00:53:35,599 --> 00:53:38,480 the building was built 1022 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,160 and nobody knows. There's no way to know 1023 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,200 how much of that bottom 1024 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,720 wall remains. 1025 00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:53,030 We made it through last winter. 1026 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:57,200 We don't know, but we can't keep putting 1027 00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,480 it off. Um, 1028 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,720 and as far as people who use or don't 1029 00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:05,200 use the school, 1030 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,520 I don't have a dog and I don't use the 1031 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,359 dog park. 1032 00:54:09,359 --> 00:54:12,319 But the dog park is a good thing to me 1033 00:54:12,319 --> 00:54:14,559 because people who have dogs and take 1034 00:54:14,559 --> 00:54:17,280 them to the dog park enjoy it and that 1035 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,559 makes the life of the town stronger. 1036 00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:22,800 Having the playground, having the disc 1037 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,920 golf, having the performance venue, 1038 00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,240 having the meeting sites and the artisan 1039 00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:31,119 studios 1040 00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:35,200 enhances the town as a whole. 1041 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,520 Having 1042 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,520 a dead building that nobody can use 1043 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,599 that's falling apart will be a drag on 1044 00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:49,760 the town as a whole. So 1045 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,800 for those reasons, I feel we need to 1046 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,440 move forward and we need to do it now 1047 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,839 before the boiler goes and before the 1048 00:54:57,839 --> 00:55:01,510 roof goes. 1049 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:02,880 » Okay. Any other discussion? We're going 1050 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,160 to this is going to come back up at 1051 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,480 action. So All right. 1052 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:18,710 >> Oh, Ashley, is he please? 1053 00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:20,079 That's what I was going to do. 1054 00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:22,559 >> He's not answering. Yeah. Okay. All 1055 00:55:22,559 --> 00:55:25,599 right. Uh Okay. Um next, this we're 1056 00:55:25,599 --> 00:55:26,800 coming back to this in council action, 1057 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,640 but next item is the council discussion 1058 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,319 at Queen Street Design. And I think 1059 00:55:30,319 --> 00:55:32,000 we're just um we've got some 1060 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,640 >> I gave everybody a large copy of the 1061 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,680 most recent plan that uh was presented 1062 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,599 to the 1063 00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:43,839 >> excuse me the adjacent land owners. 1064 00:55:43,839 --> 00:55:45,839 >> Can we put it up on the screen? 1065 00:55:45,839 --> 00:55:46,800 >> I don't know. 1066 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:47,599 >> No. 1067 00:55:47,599 --> 00:55:49,359 >> Do you have a copy to put up on the 1068 00:55:49,359 --> 00:55:49,920 screen? 1069 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:54,789 >> I don't have a copy. 1070 00:55:54,799 --> 00:55:56,799 » It It doesn't transfer too well to the 1071 00:55:56,799 --> 00:55:57,200 screen. 1072 00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,559 >> Yeah, it doesn't. Um, this the latest 1073 00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:03,040 plan retains the two-way access from 1074 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:07,520 Market Street. Um, the parking is a bit 1075 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,839 uh tight in there. So, I think we might 1076 00:56:09,839 --> 00:56:12,240 need to address some of that. There are 1077 00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:15,280 some minor tweaks that need to be done. 1078 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,960 Um, and I gave everyone in their email 1079 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,440 copies of the comments that the adjacent 1080 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,799 land owners had made. Um, their 1081 00:56:24,799 --> 00:56:26,799 discussions. I think Scott Chandler 1082 00:56:26,799 --> 00:56:28,720 specifically asked for some ballards up 1083 00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:31,839 at up next to his building so that 1084 00:56:31,839 --> 00:56:33,680 hopefully nobody had run into the wall 1085 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,280 of his building. Um, and then some 1086 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,359 questions that I had had emailed to 1087 00:56:39,359 --> 00:56:42,400 Psalm Engineering about the base layers 1088 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,559 to the parking lot and their responses 1089 00:56:44,559 --> 00:56:46,480 to that. 1090 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,240 Um, 1091 00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:51,040 so I mean I think I think we're pretty 1092 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,760 close to it. I don't know how Matt feels 1093 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,240 about it, but I think with some minor 1094 00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:58,720 adjustments, we're probably getting 1095 00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:02,400 pretty close to being ready to 1096 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,240 >> No. No. 1097 00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:04,960 >> What? 1098 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,920 >> Oh, yeah.

It's very competitive. He's 1104 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,400 doubtful that we will get it, but since 1105 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,240 it's just a couple of months away, it 1106 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,839 seems to make sense to wait and um see 1107 00:57:27,839 --> 00:57:29,680 if we get that because then we could do 1108 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,319 a much more expansive job than we're 1109 00:57:32,319 --> 00:57:35,920 able to do with our existing funding. 1110 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,760 So, with that in mind, we're going to 1111 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,400 wait to hear from that grant and then 1112 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,480 proceed based on whether we get it or 1113 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,630 not. 1114 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,799 So if you have any comments just get up 1115 00:57:48,799 --> 00:57:50,160 talk to Cindy if you have any specific 1116 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:51,440 comments about the plans.

So, well, well done, well 1680 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:47,600 planned. Um, with respect to the school, 1681 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,159 not saying what where the town was, not 1682 01:19:50,159 --> 01:19:53,040 saying that I was any official or 1683 01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,840 employee in the town, I called up two 1684 01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,640 different mechanical engineers that I've 1685 01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,920 worked with over many years, decades, 1686 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,440 and I explained to them what the 1687 01:20:03,440 --> 01:20:05,679 situation was. I said, "We have a 1688 01:20:05,679 --> 01:20:08,480 building. It's 120 years old. It's brick 1689 01:20:08,480 --> 01:20:12,400 and mortar. It's 28,000 square ft on two 1690 01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,880 levels. One of the levels is a basement. 1691 01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:18,640 What is the most efficacious way to get 1692 01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:22,239 heat to that school to replace it? Now, 1693 01:20:22,239 --> 01:20:24,880 and this is something actually I've done 1694 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,840 in my career many times, dozens and 1695 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:32,159 dozens of times in larger buildings, that size and larger 1696 01:20:32,159 --> 01:20:35,679 buildings. And they said, "Listen, you 1697 01:20:35,679 --> 01:20:37,920 can put in a split system, but that's 1698 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:39,440 really not the way to go if you want to 1699 01:20:39,440 --> 01:20:41,120 do it quickly. If you want to do it 1700 01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,120 quickly, you want to do it efficiently, 1701 01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:45,840 you want to do it economically, just 1702 01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,480 replace the boiler. You can abandon the 1703 01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:50,800 existing boiler in place. Anybody that's 1704 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,719 been down in that boiler room knows it's 1705 01:20:52,719 --> 01:20:55,760 huge, and boilers now are much smaller 1706 01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,320 than they used to be. If you're putting 1707 01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:00,560 in um split systems, you're going to 1708 01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,520 have to start by putting in pads, and 1709 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,920 you have to engineer the job out to make 1710 01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,640 sure that they're the right size. I know 1711 01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:13,280 that um last September we had an event 1712 01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,560 in the um auditorium I guess you'd call 1713 01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:20,239 it and there were many women there and 1714 01:21:20,239 --> 01:21:23,280 we were dying from the heat and it was 1715 01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:27,199 because the the air conditioning system 1716 01:21:27,199 --> 01:21:32,719 was not properly sized to that room. And 1717 01:21:32,719 --> 01:21:35,600 if you're trying to do this just based 1718 01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:39,520 on proposals from contractors, it's the 1719 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,840 wrong way to go. If you if you're 1720 01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,480 looking at all of this money, spend 1721 01:21:44,480 --> 01:21:47,280 money on mechanical engineers. Now, the 1722 01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,280 mechanical engineers I spoke to were in 1723 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:50,719 New York City, but a building's a 1724 01:21:50,719 --> 01:21:53,280 building. So, they they get the concept 1725 01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:55,679 of the whole thing. You you can use all 1726 01:21:55,679 --> 01:21:59,360 the existing lines. If you want to look 1727 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,320 into it, I had given the council the 1728 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:05,360 names of mechanical engineers that will 1729 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,480 work in the area. So the statement that 1730 01:22:08,480 --> 01:22:11,120 nobody will come to the Eastern Shore is 1731 01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:14,480 absolutely patently untrue. 1732 01:22:14,480 --> 01:22:18,800 So do it the right way. And as I said, 1733 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,199 if you're looking to do it efficaciously 1734 01:22:21,199 --> 01:22:23,840 and getting it done quickly and 1735 01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,639 economically, just replace the boiler. 1736 01:22:26,639 --> 01:22:29,280 And again, but have it sized by the 1737 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,719 proper mechanical engineer.

Um, he I noticed in the 1744 01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:08,000 statement that y'all put in the notes 1745 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,159 that he said he's getting water in his 1746 01:23:10,159 --> 01:23:14,239 the back of his building and I took this 1747 01:23:14,239 --> 01:23:16,719 picture of it was a storm right before 1748 01:23:16,719 --> 01:23:20,709 that meeting 1749 01:23:20,719 --> 01:23:23,440 and that was just when it was starting 1750 01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:27,040 >> and uh currently uh I've communicate 1751 01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,440 communicated with my neighbor and we've 1752 01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:32,400 kind of worked a drainage so it doesn't 1753 01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,960 just flood my entire driveway. But 1754 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:36,719 that's at the expense of putting the 1755 01:23:36,719 --> 01:23:40,159 water more onto his property and causing 1756 01:23:40,159 --> 01:23:41,840 maybe causing issues there. 1757 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:43,120 >> Where are you located? 1758 01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:46,080 >> Uh 58 Market.

Mark Sinclair, Brainway 1785 01:24:44,239 --> 01:24:47,040 Circle, just outside of town. First, I 1786 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:48,960 want to thank you all for voting on the 1787 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,159 school. You are securing your children 1788 01:24:52,159 --> 01:24:55,120 and grandchildren's future. Place of 1789 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:57,920 enjoyment, place of art, education, 1790 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,320 place of music, place of play.

Second, I want to talk about the 1793 01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:07,760 OBCA and their proposal. I too went up 1794 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:09,360 to the Northeast neighborhood this 1795 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:10,480 morning and drove through the whole 1796 01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:12,639 neighborhood and looked everything over 1797 01:25:12,639 --> 01:25:14,960 and I can't tell you how much I support 1798 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,280 every one of their plans. Every idea 1799 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,440 they have is a valid idea and I think 1800 01:25:19,440 --> 01:25:22,159 should be supported. I would take it one 1801 01:25:22,159 --> 01:25:24,320 step further 1802 01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:26,480 in that my concern is I see a lot of 1803 01:25:26,480 --> 01:25:29,280 blight in the housing. As you go deeper 1804 01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:30,560 into the neighborhood and around the 1805 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,800 neighborhood, you see a lot of houses 1806 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,440 that have really passed their prime and 1807 01:25:35,440 --> 01:25:36,800 they're they're really just starting to 1808 01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:40,080 frown. As a person who's renovated 14 1809 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,639 houses here on the Eastern Shore, I can 1810 01:25:42,639 --> 01:25:45,520 tell you nothing improves a neighborhood 1811 01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:47,760 more than cleaning up and fixing up 1812 01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,800 houses. I would love to see this town be 1813 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:52,880 able to come up with a group of people 1814 01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,280 that are dedicated to going in and 1815 01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,760 helping low-income, fixed income people 1816 01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,840 that can't afford to fix their houses, 1817 01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,239 to clean up the yards, put a coat of 1818 01:26:02,239 --> 01:26:04,400 paint on them, hang some shutters, 1819 01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,719 whatever. It will make the houses and 1820 01:26:06,719 --> 01:26:09,440 the neighborhood smile. As I say, I've 1821 01:26:09,440 --> 01:26:11,520 renovated 14 houses, so if you ever get 1822 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,440 a committee together to work on that, 1823 01:26:13,440 --> 01:26:15,679 I'd be glad to volunteer my time to help 1824 01:26:15,679 --> 01:26:18,480 out. But I think everything they they 1825 01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:21,120 recommended is worthwhile. Uh I would 1826 01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,360 like to add that I'd like to see the 1827 01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:27,199 outlaw uh museum open a little bit more. 1828 01:26:27,199 --> 01:26:29,040 The last time it was open was the day I 1829 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:30,320 couldn't get there when they had the box 1830 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:31,600 launch. I would have loved to gotten in 1831 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:33,760 there and seen the whole place. I missed 1832 01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:35,600 it and there went my opportunity. I'd 1833 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:36,800 love to be able to get there and to see 1834 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,440 it.

I 1983 01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:52,719 think it's all the more important for us 1984 01:32:52,719 --> 01:32:54,400 to have this common documents when we 1985 01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,239 won't have his sort of tribal knowledge 1986 01:32:56,239 --> 01:32:58,480 here at our table anymore.

The first was some questions and 1994 01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,760 corrections from the um the October 9th 1995 01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:17,679 email that withdraws the proposal from 1996 01:33:17,679 --> 01:33:19,120 the county. There are a couple of things 1997 01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:20,800 where I think my interpretation of the 1998 01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:22,639 facts may be different a little bit from 1999 01:33:22,639 --> 01:33:25,199 what was in the uh in the email. So, I'm 2000 01:33:25,199 --> 01:33:27,040 just noting that. And the second was a 2001 01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:28,719 question about closed sessions that 2002 01:33:28,719 --> 01:33:30,560 council member Marino mentioned at the 2003 01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:32,800 last meeting. You mentioned that the the 2004 01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,199 topic was discussed in closed session. 2005 01:33:35,199 --> 01:33:38,480 Um I to me the interpretation of what 2006 01:33:38,480 --> 01:33:40,719 can be discussed at closed session is 2007 01:33:40,719 --> 01:33:42,639 different than 2008 01:33:42,639 --> 01:33:44,400 what the boundary line agreement would 2009 01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,639 really fall into. So So were there some 2010 01:33:46,639 --> 01:33:47,920 questions about that that I would just 2011 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:49,120 direct your attention to when you get 2012 01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,760 these packets.

Uh 2316 01:45:59,199 --> 01:46:00,880 the science of warf looks great. Thank 2317 01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:03,360 you so much, guys.

I 2322 01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:13,520 wasn't here last year, but it would this 2323 01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:15,520 looks like it's growing every year. Some 2324 01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:16,719 little kinks I think we can work out of 2325 01:46:16,719 --> 01:46:18,000 it. We're going to have a we should have 2326 01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:19,760 a post session to get together, you 2327 01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:22,320 know, so we can go over with people. 2328 01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:23,360 But, you know, I'd like to thank the 2329 01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:25,760 Brock Myers, you know, Priscilla, you 2330 01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:30,080 know, u Jeff, Bill, Mary Burnham, Maggie 2331 01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:35,280 Grant, Main Street was involved.

That's good. 2340 01:46:48,719 --> 01:46:50,719 >> So, I think that's a very upward 2341 01:46:50,719 --> 01:46:52,560 momentum for Halloween in this town. 2342 01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:53,679 >> Well, I mean, yeah, it's it's kind of 2343 01:46:53,679 --> 01:46:54,960 reminds me of the St. Patrick's. It 2344 01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:56,960 started off, you know, and then we keep 2345 01:46:56,960 --> 01:47:01,920 it going, you know, it's it was a lot of fun. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Uh, all 2346 01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:03,920 righty. That's all I have. Uh, town 2347 01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:07,199 manager report. Last one, 2348 01:47:07,199 --> 01:47:10,159 >> everybody. The financials are uh 2349 01:47:10,159 --> 01:47:12,960 starting on page 32, the summary. Um 2350 01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:15,840 we're 25% through the year and our 2351 01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:19,520 revenue is 24% of the total revenue. Uh 2352 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:21,520 slightly behind as administration. We're 2353 01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:23,679 only 12% of revenue, but that's because 2354 01:47:23,679 --> 01:47:26,960 taxes are our tax season hasn't started 2355 01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:28,639 yet. And let me chat on that for a 2356 01:47:28,639 --> 01:47:30,800 minute. Uh taxes are going to be mailed 2357 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:32,560 out. I'm going to [snorts] say no later 2358 01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:34,880 than November 17th. We just got the file 2359 01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:38,400 from the county and they're technically 2360 01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:42,080 due 125. That's by state law. So what 2361 01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:44,320 we're going to do is wave late fees 2362 01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:47,600 until January 5th to make sure that we 2363 01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:49,520 give people at least 30 days to pay 2364 01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:51,760 without penalty. So that 2365 01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:53,520 >> well state code I thought state code 2366 01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:56,080 also addressed when they had to be out. 2367 01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:58,400 >> Yeah. 10 days before the due date. 2368 01:47:58,400 --> 01:48:00,639 >> That's it. I thought it was earlier. 2369 01:48:00,639 --> 01:48:04,239 >> No. No. 10. So that that brings up the 2370 01:48:04,239 --> 01:48:08,159 24% of 25% revenue. We're at 28% of 2371 01:48:08,159 --> 01:48:11,840 expenses uh versus 25%. It's slightly 2372 01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:14,639 higher in the warf simply because uh 2373 01:48:14,639 --> 01:48:16,560 they were open. They're about to close 2374 01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:18,719 from November through March. So the 2375 01:48:18,719 --> 01:48:20,159 expenses will be zero and they'll 2376 01:48:20,159 --> 01:48:21,840 obviously taper down as a percentage of 2377 01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:24,400 the total year. um building and streets. 2378 01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:27,600 We were heavy and uh just from some 2379 01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:29,280 bigger repairs that we didn't expect. 2380 01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:31,600 Some paving was done at the beginning of 2381 01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:33,520 the fiscal year. So other than that, 2382 01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:34,639 there's nothing in there that's 2383 01:48:34,639 --> 01:48:36,880 anomalous. I don't see anything coming 2384 01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:40,159 that should be a surprise or um disrupt 2385 01:48:40,159 --> 01:48:43,600 our budget. On page 47 is our cash 2386 01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:46,560 position. This year we've got 5.5 2387 01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:48,880 million in cash and reserves. Last year 2388 01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:51,600 we had 5.2 to 5.3 million which is an 2389 01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:54,480 increase of 5% in cash flow and 2390 01:48:54,480 --> 01:48:57,760 liquidity liquidity sorry um all of our 2391 01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:00,000 required reserves are covered with a 2392 01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:02,159 slight overage 2393 01:49:02,159 --> 01:49:04,800 uh our capex and grant activity was very 2394 01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:07,280 slow this month for a few different 2395 01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:09,119 reasons. So there hasn't been any change 2396 01:49:09,119 --> 01:49:12,159 in any of the year-to- date expenditures 2397 01:49:12,159 --> 01:49:14,000 for any of our capital expenditure 2398 01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:16,560 items. Um there's a lot of work going on 2399 01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:18,960 but not a lot of expenditures going on. 2400 01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:22,159 Uh we've got two projects uh remaining 2401 01:49:22,159 --> 01:49:25,360 with the ARPA funds. Uh the basketball 2402 01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:27,920 court ran over budget, so we're going to 2403 01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:29,520 have to trim back on what we were 2404 01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:31,920 planning to do at Town Square. So we 2405 01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:35,760 have $39,000 left to spend. Um we had 2406 01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:41,040 $5,000 for the 5,250 for the irrigation 2407 01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:45,520 system and about $2,000 for the grass 2408 01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:47,520 restoration. There's going to be some 2409 01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:49,760 more expenses coming because we have to 2410 01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:53,280 put a new supply line in 2411 01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:55,199 um for the town squares irrigation 2412 01:49:55,199 --> 01:49:57,840 system because what's there I think it's 2413 01:49:57,840 --> 01:49:59,199 copper line and it got crimped 2414 01:49:59,199 --> 01:50:00,800 underneath the sidewalk so it's not 2415 01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:02,639 putting out the pressure we need. So we 2416 01:50:02,639 --> 01:50:04,159 have to bypass that and just put a new 2417 01:50:04,159 --> 01:50:06,320 line in. Victor's got the order for 2418 01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:08,320 that. Um it's not that materially 2419 01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:10,000 expensive, but we're going to have to 2420 01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,159 get a VOTE permit because that's not an 2421 01:50:12,159 --> 01:50:13,760 emergency road repair and we're going to 2422 01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:15,199 have to dig into the road in all 2423 01:50:15,199 --> 01:50:18,719 likelihood.

Some of those 2435 01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:47,760 suggestions are not clear and not 2436 01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:51,760 helpful.
