Um I think you guys should have an

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,400
updated memo.
I do not have much to update this month.

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:08,000
I don't have anything
to present. Um

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,520
2026
community crossings project, work

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:16,880
continues. Um it's sounding like it's
going to be wrapped up here in the next

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:22,520
month, month and a half. Uh
concrete work should be finished soon.

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:27,480
We don't have a schedule for paving yet.
That's continuing.

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:31,360
2027 continues under design. I think the
applications coming up here in

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,960
September.
And then on the water projects under

26
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,960
construction,
um we received draft pay applications,

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:44,080
but they weren't ready to be presented
yet. Um it put them at about 30%

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,920
complete. So, they're also moving along
pretty well.

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,440
Everything's continuing. Potholing's
continuing.

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Service line replacement continues as we
get the right of entry forms received.

00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Uh
hydrants and valves are under being

32
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,440
and um I think the filter media two of
the three has been completed so that's

33
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:07,120
that's
hopefully working really well for the

34
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,840

they're still working on their final
numbers.

» All right, Sarah.
Laying on the Hoosier Hills water

84
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,880
» Hoosier Hills water easement. So,
Hoosier Hills has reached out through

85
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:41,640
their attorney
requesting a easement. It's a perpetual

86
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,760
easement not to exceed 10 ft in width on
either side of the water line and meter

87
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:50,160
pit as constructed.
Um

88
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:56,200
or think it it it's just it's real
estate owned by the town commonly known

89
00:05:52,960 --> 00:06:00,920
as 550 and Osage.
Um

90
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:05,040
This was sent out and alters there are
corresponding temporary construction

91
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:09,320
along with it.
Um I had requested for just an

92
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,920
explanation of the project and I think
they're just doing improvements to their

93
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:18,760
line and I asked if there was a benefit
to Osage and allowing this and

94
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:23,560
apparently they are your backup in the
event you have a water catastrophe.

95
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Um so obviously if the water was closed
and the water is there um

96
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,640
it it you do have a benefit to it.
The

97
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:36,480
um
other issue with it I I think there was

98
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:40,720
an email that was sent out to your water
superintendent. He had suggested that if

99
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,080
they would actually like reinstall the
meter there that it might be a benefit

100
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:48,120
but they have no intention of doing
that. It's not a big deal. If you if

101
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,280
there was that emergency and you needed
to install it quickly it could be that

102
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960
quickly.
>> Okay.

103
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:57,800
» So I have not been made aware of of any
issues with the easement um

104
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:02,120
from anybody like superintendents or
anything.

105
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,560
So it's just a matter of whether or not
you want to approve it. They there is a

106
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,640
little bit of time. I think they want to
bid the project in December so he wanted

107
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:14,000
to take another look at it.
Um you can table it for next month or so

108
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,240
it's fine.
>> I'd like to table it so I can talk to

109
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,800
John.
>> Okay.

110
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,800
» I'm I'm with Bill.

111
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,000
Uh
I need

112
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,440
» Technically you need a person and a
second to table a vote.

113
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,640
» You already have two.
>> I'm I'm second vote to table.

114
00:07:35,885 --> 00:07:37,905
» [clears throat]

115
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:43,800
» Uh motion to hire Rodney Weaver in for
this gas street position.

116
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,919
» I'll make the motion.
>> Second.

117
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,919
» All right.

118
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,760
Travis

119
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,840
The
allocation was submitted today to the

120
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,400
county.
It's a

121
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Everything in there There's just more in
depth.

122
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,480
It's 225
pages roughly.

123
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
There's no copies or anything.
Everything is condensed down.

124
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:28,080
This is the final study here. This is
the final study here.

125
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,960
This is a copy
for your interview.

126
00:08:35,479 --> 00:08:37,919
It's a It's

127
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,040
So,
we've been here a multitude of time a

128
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,720
few times on this, but
we've got a clear and concise plan on

129
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,200
where we're headed with this.
Um

130
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,280
The site development has changed
somewhat in structure based upon the

131
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:17,080
engineering. Uh
We had um

132
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,120
I consulted with French and Associates
and decided to go with a civil

133
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:26,520
engineering firm, Gonzales,
based out of North Vernon, who has done

134
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:30,480
all the site work and site plan studies.
Um French and Associates did

135
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,880
uh
apply They did come and do the field

136
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:40,560
work on the topographies and provide
that to the engineering.

137
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,800
Some things have shifted somewhat in um
what I what my original thoughts were

138
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,080
based on what is actually there and
uh stormwater studies.

139
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,680
Um
There were some concerns at the last

140
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:59,920
meeting we was at a couple months ago of
stormwater and how that would be.

141
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:04,040
We will be a 100% self-compliant on our
We will be putting no water off on any

142
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:09,560
neighbor's property. Everything is
directly ditched on us, retention pond,

143
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:13,400
um retention area.
Everything is down

144
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:17,960
um to us.
We um

145
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:22,080
They did There's a 100-year stormwater
study. It is in this pack that we'll

146
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,880
leave with you.
But it's a it's nearly 100 pages in

147
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:30,680
calculations and how that's been
determined and how that's done.

148
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,520
Um
We have been

149
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:40,640
So, we have compliances that we have to
follow, chapter 80, 40.5 in the Ripley

150
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,720
County code books.
That's the codes that we have worked

151
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,400
with the county. We've worked with
engineering firm.

152
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Lynn had sent me an email last week and
with some other article stuff. I went to

153
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:56,880
the county um and asked them to pull any
other documentations that we need to be

154
00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:00,800
following, any other ordinances.
They referred me back to 40.5 and said

155
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:04,839
this is the county codes. This is what
we're following. So, that's what we we

156
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,400
proceeded with.
Um In here is a completed application

157
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:14,160
which is a total of six buildings. Each
building has a separate application on

158
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:18,280
it. Simply to keep it clear and precise
in how we'll build one, build the next,

159
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:22,839
and build on. Um and our inspections
will be done as that.

160
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,080
You guys have a construction plan of
each proposed building.

161
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:33,040
That there are a group of uh there are
there is a group

162
00:11:30,839 --> 00:11:33,040
of

163
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,960
Let's see.
There are three groups of uh

164
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:50,040
So, the first four buildings will be
duplexes.

165
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,040
And they should be uh

166
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:06,400
That is the duplexes. Those are the four
buildings that are right out here.

167
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,400
Those will have two car garages.

168
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:16,840
So, the duplexes will be completely
handicap accessible. They'll be uh first

169
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,040
floor entrance,
um

170
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:23,720
have a garage, everything in them.
Um

171
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:28,280
compliance uh bathrooms, handicap
accessible bathrooms. They are two

172
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,680
bedrooms, they are two full baths in
each of those. Uh so, they I just still

173
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,400
think there's a need that people still
like privacy in their master bathroom

174
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:39,240
off of that um
in their personal residence. If they

175
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:44,520
have somebody come and stay with them
for care, then they can go from that.

176
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:49,360
Those buildings are proposed there.
They'll all be um

177
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:55,080
the construction will be uh concrete
foundations, slabs poured, 2 by 6

178
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:59,680
exterior walls,
vinyl and veneer siding, and shingled

179
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,160
roofs.
Uh

180
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:08,320
you also in here,
there are the sixplexes. We had to drop

181
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:13,000
units off of those in the backside
simply for stormwater reasonings and

182
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:17,000
parking reasons.
The construction plan does show that we

183
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:22,240
have added that we needed an additional
24 parking spaces. We are more than

184
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:27,680
covered our additional space.
Um we met with uh this goes to tech

185
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:31,760
review with the county. We dropped it
off down there today.

186
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,600
Um and have emailed hard we have emailed
this to them but they may want full sets

187
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:40,240
of this but they're they'll comply to
make sure we're on that.

188
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:44,960
You've got engineer trust plans
that are um part of the state or

189
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:50,080
are part of the state requirements on
building permits. They're in here.

190
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:54,120
There's several pages on that.
The last meeting you had told asked me

191
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:59,320
to get with each of the the
superintendents of the various

192
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:05,280
departments and solve any concerns.
Um we did do that. We met with

193
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:09,840
we have spoken with water and have a
verbal no problem. We spoke with sewer

194
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,800
gave him that hey we're looking at 20
units. They've complied and my

195
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,760
understanding is they can consult with
Commonwealth Engineering.

196
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:24,080
There's not a um
there's not an issue there in hooking to

197
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:28,560
it. Obviously we understand um our
proposal is to put a manhole at the road

198
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:32,560
there and then our sewer lines would tie
into that and tie off of that. But it's

199
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:37,360
pretty in-depth and what the sewer
trenches and all that have to look like.

200
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:42,480
So in here we put our utility letters.
We have a letter of commitment from Duke

201
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Energy. It actually the property was
designed for a build out years ago and

202
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:51,680
the transformers are on the back side of
the property now. So there'll be really

203
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:55,360
no new infrastructure. Nothing through
any neighbor's yard. It's already been

204
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:59,280
installed. Um
which was nice to hear uh as far as

205
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,839
where we're at. They've got the
transformers are on the property right

206
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:08,080
at on our property line now so we don't
have to we will have to not encroach any

207
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:13,240
neighbor's property at all for that.
We have a compliance or a letter of

208
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:16,880
commitment from Trent Lindville to
provide high-speed internet. He

209
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,480
currently does Buckeye but he also will
do that.

210
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,320
Um
out of these 200 and some pages, the

211
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:28,200
only thing that I believe we're missing
still is our sewer letter commitment.

212
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,480
Everything else is plot.
Everything else has been fulfilled.

213
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,360
You asked me to meet with the fire
department. We met with the fire

214
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:41,240
department. We took
a lengthy letter of their concerns,

215
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,320
their draft, their things. Everything
has been addressed with them.

216
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:49,480
That's part of the redesign. There's
turnarounds back there now.

217
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:54,240
As far as it's not you can't go in in
360 a a semi back there, but there's

218
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:58,520
there's turnarounds now. There's
turnaround installed for the trash bins.

219
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:03,360
We're going to lock down the trash bins.
It'll become much more secure area. The

220
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:07,520
whole place will be under surveillance.
Most of it is currently now, but we

221
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,160
still got
weasels dumping trash on us. It's just

222
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,600
we're having trouble with that
everywhere we've got a dumpster. Except

223
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,920
at the car lot cuz it's right by the
office door. But everywhere else we have

224
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:22,760
trouble with that.
You have a very in-depth site plan.

225
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:26,080
I think they did I think it's nine pages
long. It's pretty in-depth. I believe it

226
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,839
covers
I had multiple meetings with the

227
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,680
engineers from Gonzales. There's been
three different ones that have looked at

228
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:37,320
this.
They have

229
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:41,480
They have done they I think they've done
a wonderful job in detailing it out.

230
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:46,640
They have said that we have to deal with
IDEM on this and that they will comply.

231
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:51,720
They said that's just a formality. We
have hired them to go ahead and do that

232
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:55,360
additional permitting for us so that
IDEM will be involved. And I think that

233
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:59,280
brings in
I think that brings in a soil and water

234
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:03,600
conservation in this area.
That they'll be in some aspects of that.

235
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:07,760
But they would told me how they
They said that that would be in their

236
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:14,640
It's part of the package that we're
paying them to to do for us.

237
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,640
The storm water design is in-depth.

238
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:21,640
We we understand it.
There's no Like I said, there we you

239
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:25,160
know, last time there was concerns that
we're going to be putting water off on

240
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,760
Shultz Street.
Our

241
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:34,680
ditch swale starts at our property line.
We can will hold all We are diverting no

242
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:40,800
water onto Napoleon State Bank. We're
diverting no water onto

243
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:46,360
anybody no neighbor. So, that was a
concern that I did not want somebody to

244
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:52,240
say we're flooding their garage.
So, part of the design, there's 814

245
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:57,960
linear feet of ditching and um 6-in
drain tiles that go into this retention

246
00:17:54,920 --> 00:18:02,160
area. This retention area is not deep.
Uh it's like 18-in deep on the deepest

247
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:07,520
thing, but it also has They've got it
designed out how we triple flow and get

248
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,520
our water out of that.

249
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:15,680
As far as I know,
every section of 40.5

250
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:20,320
on the code requirements has been met.
There is nothing that If there is

251
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:24,320
something that has been left out, tech
review will get that. Like I said, they

252
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:29,600
were given that today.
Tech review will go My understanding is

253
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:35,040
it's the first
maybe Tuesday or Wednesday Tuesday in

254
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:39,560
September. We have missed this month's
already.

255
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:43,600
This will go on to Tuesday of the the
first meeting in September to tech

256
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,000
review.
And then they would issue any of their

257
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,600
um
if they find things, which I suspect

258
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,720
there's going to be something that
they're going to come back at us with.

259
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:59,320
That What do you need to resolve?
We will um do that.

260
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:03,080
I do want to commend the town and Derek
Walker. Um

261
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:07,320
he's been very very pleasant to deal
with. Um seems very educated, very

262
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:12,400
professional.
And you know, I've met with him

263
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:17,960
maybe three times now.
And do you know and he's been wonderful

264
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:23,200
to deal with. And my understanding is
the

265
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,960
county attorney, BZA representative,
um,

266
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:30,880
Dave Osborne
and maybe John Ertel sat on this tech

267
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:36,120
review.
So, we provided them an exact copy of

268
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:44,640
this. The thing that you guys have added
to this is that we have put in what a um

269
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,200
rental application looks like for us for
renting from our properties.

270
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,960
We've been closed that we have included
that.

271
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:56,520
We have also partnered,
um, we will be partnering with Isaiah's

272
00:19:53,920 --> 00:20:01,600
Image, which you guys aren't aware of,
but that's all a a um

273
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:06,960
a home health agency that we will be
able to offer this to

274
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:10,520
people moving forward.
Once this is completed, we will

275
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:16,280
everybody will have an opportunity to do
that. I have people there at all

276
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:23,000
different sets of financial aspects.
I cannot limit

277
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:27,200
the age that lives there at Buckeye.
People have the misconception that

278
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:30,560
Buckeye is a senior facility. We are
governed by uh Indiana Housing

279
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:35,800
Authority.
And we

280
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:40,960
I'm telling you their laws, they audit
us, they go through our books

281
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:45,040
continuously. We have to provide who are
um who our applicants are, reasons for

282
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:50,240
denial, uh uh
everything. It's a very cumbersome. We

283
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:54,440
report We report monthly on that. So, we
are under those guidelines to 2032 at

284
00:20:53,120 --> 00:21:01,920
Buckeye.
So, we are a facility that has to comply

285
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:08,200
to federal law.
In there, we will be um

286
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:12,040
we are trying to curtail pets. It still
is one of my number one thorns in my

287
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:18,520
side.
However, there is nothing that any

288
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:23,840
attorney has told me I can do to combat
a service animal.

289
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:27,880
I it is one of the most fictitious
terrible laws for a landlord that I

290
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:32,400
don't know how ever got passed, but it
is the card we're dealt. We were

291
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:36,280
proactive with our attorney. We drew up
a

292
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:41,080
We can we charge a fee for the pet and
we can charge a um

293
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:45,000
a
uh a security deposit.

294
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,600
So, we do that.
Does it deter them all? I find people

295
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,880
will go without food if they can still
have another dog. So, we have limited to

296
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:57,440
one dog on our application. We've also
limited that they have to know they have

297
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:02,440
to
They on our lease agreement it is called

298
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:06,960
out that you can have one up to one
animal and that animal can only be up to

299
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,840
40 lb.
Um

300
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:15,280
Now, I do know I may have a couple dogs
that may be pushing 40 and so it's uh

301
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,680
it's something we're trying to work
through.

302
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:24,120
But, any animals I do have people at
Buckeye that there was no limit on the

303
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:28,120
amount of animals that they had. I do
have a couple residents with three dogs

304
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:34,560
in those small apartments.
Uh drives me crazy and we are you know,

305
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:37,640
we have been as landlords we have said
we are going to audit them checking

306
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:42,440
those apartments and making sure they're
clean and they're getting wrote up if

307
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,960
they are not and we find them where we
find they're unsanitary.

308
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,760
As far as we have even brought in the
health department on a couple situations

309
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:54,720
to say, "Hey, we need to do this." But,
I think we're getting it.

310
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,720
I think we're curtailing it, so.

311
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,960
This is the application that we're
presenting.

312
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:05,640
This is our
final application

313
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:08,240
barring any tech review requirements. If
tech review comes to us with something,

314
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:11,280
we're going to work it out. We're going
to figure it out.

315
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,760
So, we're here to ask
again

316
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:22,400
for a to complete our application, we
need a letter of sewer approval.

317
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,880
» What's

318
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:32,280
We have that form, Travis. It just needs
to be filled out and signed off.

319
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,800
What do you call those county offices?
Once that's

320
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,960
» I'm here.
>> Done.

321
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,680
» Once that's
>> Once that's

322
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:42,480
» That's part of the process.
>> Well, what's the hold-up on getting

323
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,200
» I'm not sure I've talked to any of the
sewer maintenance about it, so

324
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,480
Do you have a copy of the form?
>> I've been here two or three times. I've

325
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:55,200
met with the
>> Do you have a copy of the form?

326
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,200
» I know what the form is. It's a

327
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:02,120
» So, is it that they're waiting
like what you presented today in your

328
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:05,080
your final application, they need to
have reviewed by Commonwealth?

329
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,640
» Commonwealth
>> They need to fill out the form and then

330
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,160
it
>> Commonwealth reviewed our sewer there.

331
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:15,440
» I thought Alex had already
>> Alex has told me she's been here to sign

332
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:20,480
the letter and has been told not to I
was told I mean

333
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,360
» I'll just have to contact Alex tomorrow
and find out.

334
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:27,480
» She's told me I mean I've seen her and
she's done the work.

335
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:31,280
» Yeah, she's signed off on it.
We still have that form.

336
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,320
» I thought that's what this was all
about.

337
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:39,120
» I've never seen a form, Chris. I mean,
there was a formal letter that you guys

338
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,240
typically sign in all of our other
fields.

339
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,440
We've just said we need this letter and
I'm not aware of any form.

340
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:52,600
» I mean, she signed off
She's She's seen what we presented.

341
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:56,480
» They signed off. Tony signed off.
It's not so long ago we go back.

342
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:03,640
» We'll have to do some of this, but
>> What's to review?

343
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,640
» I'm not sure Travis, but I can't just
pass it out of hand without talking.

344
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:13,400
» So what you can
what you can do is

345
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:17,000
is you can either
I mean it it it it appears that she

346
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,840
signed off on it.
That the two utilities that need to sign

347
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:26,000
off on it have signed off on it. If you
just want to confirm that what was

348
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,080
presented is what they signed off on.
>> Exactly.

349
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:31,160
» You can do that as soon as they confirm
it.

350
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,520
» Send it to the guy.
>> You got the letters, right?

351
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,240
» Yeah.
>> If it's not that, what was signed off on

352
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,200
it?
>> This [clears throat] is bizarre.

353
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,600
» Lynn, in all due respect, we need a time
frame.

354
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,480
I've been 18 months here in this.
>> So I don't know how long it's going to

355
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,640
» I don't know. I'll just have to get and
make sure they review the current set of

356
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,480
drawings.
>> Well, you definitely need a by tech

357
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:57,200
review in September, right?
>> I need it now. I mean I can't we're

358
00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,360
we should
I don't see why we couldn't

359
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,120
put this up in an hour or a week to be
honest with

360
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,120
Let's review with everybody and make
sure they're reviewing the same drawings

361
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,760
you presented.
If signed off on that, we should be

362
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760
good.

363
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,680
Is that I mean can we get a we can get a
commitment that we can have a letter by

364
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,440
the end of the week with the same plans?
>> I can't guarantee that, but we'll try to

365
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,720
get
We got to get in touch with everybody

366
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:25,600
and make sure they review the same
drawings. I don't If that's the case and

367
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:29,000
that's what they reviewed I wouldn't be
opposed to that.

368
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:34,440
» No, I wouldn't be pissed either.
>> But if they reviewed the information you

369
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,440
presented today and they're good with it

370
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,440
I can't do anything.
>> Well, I will meet I will go see Alex in

371
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:44,920
the morning.
And give her She's never seen this plan.

372
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:48,160
I mean she hasn't seen the geo the storm
water sewer.

373
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,720
She has seen the total number of units.
I mean it's nothing different than what

374
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:55,280
I submitted last week.
>> Okay. So just just can have her review

375
00:26:53,480 --> 00:27:00,680
it confirm it whether that there's no
changes based on the letter.

376
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:06,000
» Minor detail on there. Nothing very
minimal. But, under eight oz good.

377
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:10,400
» That's Tiny Wood. Yeah.
Very minimal, but just a half. That's

378
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,400
what you wrote.

379
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,840
» And I think Gonzalez is doing work in
the town right now for the

380
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:19,680
» Yeah, that's Tiny's Yeah.
>> Yeah. I didn't see that, but I didn't

381
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:23,320
call him on it today.
>> Understood.

382
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,320
» So,

383
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,240
All right. We'll try to get back with
you by the end of the week on

384
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:38,800
Thanks, Josh.
Okay.

385
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,800
Like I said, I'll go see Alex tomorrow.

386
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:50,760
Uh we will be taking comment on items
that were on the agenda today. If they

387
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:54,680
weren't on the agenda, they will be
If we agree to take something up, it'll

388
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:59,040
be taken up in a public venue.
We're not taking comment on things that

389
00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:04,160
aren't on the aren't on the agenda, so.
Now time for uh

390
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:07,760
Yes, we'll go to Alex first.
All right. You got anything?

391
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,760
» Yes, sir.

392
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:25,800
So, last month we had 76 calls for
service.

393
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:30,960
And 21 traffic stops, four citations
issued, one warning issued.

394
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:35,120
And 17 town ordinances, 15 warnings
issued.

395
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:39,120
Uh eight citizen assists.
Responded to six accidents or EMS

396
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:42,080
assists. And 32 criminal calls for
service with one arrest made.

397
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,120
Um
And that Eric Gammy has started. Um he's

398
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,680
now on his own.
He's doing great. So.

399
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,240
Um
I think

400
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,240
» on the speed limits

401
00:28:53,640 --> 00:29:01,160
» I'm still trying to get them squared
away on the um, crosswalk down there by

402
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:04,360
RMC. They seem to think that that's
something we take care of, but my

403
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:08,200
understanding is that's on 421.
>> They being INDOT. And then what about

404
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:12,160
the one on the north side of town, by
the school? I know the school had put

405
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,040
» I see. Those are um,
those are INDOT signs that the school

406
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,920
had INDOT put in.
But

407
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:21,600
» And I thought we were going to put some
light on Railroad Avenue.

408
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,440
» Railroad and West Fairground. At the
edge of town is where I want to put

409
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,640
those.
>> So, where are we at on those?

410
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,200
» I'm going to try and get with um, Steve
and Rodney

411
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,480
and try and get those up here in the
next couple of weeks.

412
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,760
» Good. So, by the way
>> I know they're busy being just two of

413
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,760
them right now, but

414
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,400
» All right, thanks. You need anything
from us? You good?

415
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,600
» Yeah, I think we're good.
>> Thanks.

416
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Uh, anybody from the public on anything
that was in the agenda?

417
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,680
» Can you tell me where I can find this
agenda?

418
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,400
» It's online before the
>> Good. That's what I thought.

419
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,720
» It wasn't.
>> That's what they discussed today.

420
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,720
» Okay.

421
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,040
» Yes, sir. Uh,
I'm William Mitchell with the Optimist

422
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:07,280
Club and I'd like to ask for permission
for stoplight

423
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:13,040
uh, collection for candidate for cancer
for Saturday morning from 8:00 to 12:00

424
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:17,000
on September the 12th.
It's the same weekend that we did last

425
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,720
year.
>> Oh, I'll double check the calendar and

426
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,600
we'll call you tomorrow.
>> Okay. Okay, thank you. I don't have a

427
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,720
problem with it if it's for a good
cause.

428
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,480
Anybody else?

429
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:36,160
» Is there any process for the neighbors
to look at?

430
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,600
» That would be through the county.
That would be the

431
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,440
» Do you know if that's before or after
the tech review?

432
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:47,360
» I'm not sure how that would go.
I'm not I can't comment on the county's

433
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,360
procedures. I have hard enough work.

434
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,000
Yeah, I'm not sure how that would go on
that.

435
00:30:54,720 --> 00:31:02,000
Anybody else?
>> Does NCDOT have to look at it?

436
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:06,200
» If it takes in public comments, I would
assume so, but I can't speak to that.

437
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,200
So,

438
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,440
Thank you, everybody.

439
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,480
Motion to adjourn.

440
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,240
Second.
All in favor,
