Yeah. So, actually, 652 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,440 » right. Anybody else have a question? 653 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,080 >> I just I got just a quick comment. Maybe it's it's because we lost a couple 654 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,159 houses there within a couple years of 655 00:25:54,159 --> 00:25:55,360 each other. You know, you go to the 656 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,080 Presbyterian church and then that house 657 00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,679 that got burnt, we said, you know, it 658 00:25:59,679 --> 00:26:01,760 was tore down and then we go a little 659 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,760 bit further and then I believe there's a 660 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,200 they had a house fire there and they 661 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,360 tore that down that same area. Then I 662 00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:09,120 seen that the church sold that it's over 663 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:10,799 there. So quite quite a little bit of 664 00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:12,880 change in in in the neighborhood right 665 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,640 there. I don't know. And again, that 666 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,440 this just comments at me. Uh it'd be 667 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,200 nice to get more action in on those 668 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,039 infield lots. I I don't I don't know 669 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:22,880 what the city can do really other than 670 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,360 do a program like this and to bring one 671 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,679 in. But I know those infill lots, you 672 00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:29,360 know, today's houses are a little bigger 673 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:31,200 than the other houses. Like Mitch was 674 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,880 saying, you know, most people are 675 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,559 looking for a three-bedroom house, but 676 00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:37,039 to build on an info lot's difficult, and 677 00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:38,640 I do understand that. I wish there was 678 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,559 something else we can do. Maybe keep 679 00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:42,000 that in your hip pocket if something 680 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000 comes up. It's all I ask. Yeah, I do 681 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,360 like how they are addressed separately 682 00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:46,480 in this program. 683 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,080 >> Yeah, like I said, it's it when you when 684 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,480 you drive through that alert, it's kind 685 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,320 of stark. Looks right at you there, you 686 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,559 know, because one of our main arterials 687 00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:57,919 is got some empty spots on it. But 688 00:26:57,919 --> 00:27:01,279 unfortunately, housing stock gets old. 689 00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:04,080 >> And in those situations where a house 690 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,880 either burns down or 691 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,240 you know, somebody moves out and it's 692 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,640 not great shape, somebody buys it, wants 693 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,400 to demolish it and build a new one. as 694 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,960 long as their uh water and sewer meter 695 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,720 or water meter and sewer tap are still 696 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,640 in place in good condition because when 697 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,080 they tear a house down, they leave the 698 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,320 tap in place and just cap it. As long as 699 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,080 those are in place, we typically wave 700 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,919 those fees completely. 701 00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:29,679 >> Uh they typically just have to pay for 702 00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:31,919 like parts if we have to update a meter 703 00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:34,960 or something like that. So 704 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,640 that part of it helps out a ton because 705 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,080 sewer connections $3,750 and the water 706 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,960 meter is $3,000. So those take up a big 707 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,400 part of the permit fees. U this kind of 708 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,799 kicks in when the properties have been 709 00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:54,640 sitting vacant for 10, 15, 20 years u or 710 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,080 just have never been been built on. U so 711 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,799 that helps fill those ones in. That's 712 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:03,600 good information and it really staff. 713 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,520 >> Thanks, Mitch. 714 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,840 >> Anybody else? 715 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,080 If not, is there a motion? I move to 716 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,440 adopt ordinance number 3254 renewing the 717 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,080 new housing construction incentive 718 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,080 program. 719 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,480 >> I'll second that motion. 720 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,279 >> McMahon. 721 00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:25,269 >> I 722 00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:28,799 motion. Uh next we have the trash rate 723 00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:33,120 adjustment ordinance number 3255. 724 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:35,679 >> Okay. So our trash fund is an enterprise 725 00:28:35,679 --> 00:28:37,840 fund that is basically supported by 726 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,559 itself. So no no sales tax or property 727 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:43,919 tax or anything goes into it. Um in 2023 728 00:28:43,919 --> 00:28:47,279 we set the uh trash rate at $20.50 per 729 00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:49,760 month for residents. And at that time 730 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,200 our um contract was an increase of 2% 731 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,360 every year. So with our new contract, 732 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,279 they've increased that to 5% increase 733 00:28:57,279 --> 00:28:59,679 every year. So it basically caught up to 734 00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:02,240 itself. The new rate that we are charged 735 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,120 from waste management is now 21.28. So 736 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,200 we are in a deficit of 78 cents per 737 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,480 customer. Um this also includes the 738 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,200 spring cleanup fee of $17,000 plus um 739 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,320 around $3,000 for insurance every year. 740 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,720 So, as we discussed at the work setting, 741 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,279 um there's a draft ordinance that shows 742 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:25,200 um the increase of trash to $24 743 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,679 beginning with the September 30th bill. 744 00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:30,000 And then in 2028, 745 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,320 uh begin increasing that 5% every year 746 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:33,679 until the end of the waste management 747 00:29:33,679 --> 00:29:36,159 contract in 2030. So, that should keep 748 00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:39,840 us ahead on our um our rates without 749 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,559 just jumping it to the the full amount 750 00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:44,720 at the end. So increase in this 751 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,960 September, no increase in 27. 752 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,080 >> In 27, correct? 753 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,159 >> And then 5% every year after that until 754 00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:52,480 the end of the contract, correct? 755 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,080 >> Because that's what they're charging us. 756 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,320 >> Yeah. 757 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,230 >> Yes. 758 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,240 » Thanks for all your different scenarios 759 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,520 on this.
