[5:54] dream and have visions of what our

[5:56] community can be. We thank you for the

[5:59] beautiful and awesome opportunities that

[6:04] we ask that you bless our city in your

[6:06] son Jesus's name we pray. Amen.

[6:08] >> Amen.

[6:08] Thank you, Josh. So, we'll invite

[6:10] Josh back in just a little bit to kind

[6:12] of give us a little update of what's

[6:14] going on, but we want to move along

[6:17] because we've got quite a bit to go over

[6:19] here in just a second. So, let's start

[6:20] with item number one, our consent

[6:22] agenda.

[6:23] >> Motion to approve.

[6:24] >> Second

[6:27] >> and coffee.

[6:28] >> Yes.

[6:28] >> Bullets,

[6:29] >> yes.

[6:29] >> Marshall,

[6:30] >> yes.

[6:30] >> Davis,

[6:31] >> yes. Cold,

[6:32] >> yes.

[6:33] >> Williams,

[6:33] >> yes.

[6:34] >> O, yes. For them,

[6:35] >> yes. Item four, comments from those

[6:38] assembled.

[6:40] Seeing none, we'll move on to item

[6:42] number five, proclamations,

[6:43] commendations, reports, inquiries by the

[6:45] governing body. So, at this time, I'd

[6:47] like to turn it over to Chief Thomas.

[6:50] All right.

[6:53] So, this is quite an honor for me. The

[6:57] 17 years I've served as your chief, I've

[6:59] never been able to promote a captain.

[7:01] This is my first in my career to be able

[7:03] to do this. So, um, I'll just read

[7:05] something really quick, then I'll have,

[7:07] uh, Richard's wife come up here and

[7:10] we'll do the honors. So, over the past

[7:12] year, the Perry Police Department has

[7:14] worked [clears throat] to ensure we are

[7:15] making the most efficient use of our

[7:17] manpower. During this process, we've

[7:19] evaluated each position and streamlined

[7:22] our commanding structure. During this

[7:25] process, we determined that we were uh

[7:27] with the pinning of the retirement of

[7:29] Assistant Chief Stevens, which is the

[7:30] end of this month. It could be almost

[7:32] beneficial to promote an officer at the

[7:34] rank of captain to assume command of

[7:37] numerous areas that need day-to-day

[7:38] management, supervision, and leadership.

[7:41] This past Friday, a promotion board was

[7:44] held. Of the three applicants, Sergeant

[7:47] Richard Tyler emerged as the unanimous

[7:48] choice among the [snorts] board members

[7:50] to become the next captain of the Perry

[7:52] Police Department.

[7:54] Sergeant Tyler is a certified police

[7:56] officer with 14 years of service. During

[8:00] his tenure, he's held positions as a

[8:01] patrol officer, detective, field

[8:04] training officer, drug task force

[8:06] member, and special operations team

[8:08] member, and a patrol supervisor.

[8:11] Despite the rank he held in all these

[8:13] three pos all these positions, Sergeant

[8:15] Tyler excelled and served as a mentor to

[8:18] the officers around him. He has proven

[8:20] himself over and over again not to only

[8:23] be a dedicated law enforcement officer

[8:25] to be a skilled leader. As a chief, I

[8:29] have full confidence that Sergeant

[8:30] Tyler's transitions into this new role

[8:33] as a captain. He will lead those and the

[8:36] care with confidence, foresight, and

[8:39] integrity and serve the citizens of

[8:41] Perry. So, at this time, I'd like

[8:43] Mallerie to come up.

[8:47] And if you would

[8:50] go ahead and place his new badge on him

[9:09] [applause]

[9:16] as a ranking captain. Captain, you

[9:18] received these bars and I was just aware

[9:21] while ago these bars here have a lot of

[9:26] special memories. Last captain we ever

[9:28] had was Captain Jim Mackway and he is

[9:31] going to donate his collar brass. We're

[9:33] going to place these on you at this

[9:35] time.

[9:42] Congratulations.

[10:07] [applause]

[10:12] » [applause]

[10:20] [snorts]

[10:21] >> family that's here with you today.

[10:23] >> Uh, sure. Um,

[10:26] I'll try to go through this, not make it

[10:28] too long. Uh, so with me here is my

[10:30] wife, Mallerie. Um, this is my oldest

[10:32] daughter, Evan. Uh, my young second

[10:35] oldest child. This is Winston. We have

[10:37] two other small children. Of course,

[10:38] they they're pretty small, so they went

[10:39] to the babysitter today. Um, of course,

[10:42] I have Chief Donald Thomas as Chief uh

[10:44] Stevens, uh, retired captain, uh, Jim

[10:47] Mane. My former chief of Blackwell, Fred

[10:50] Lavali. Um, Nick Denny Willis from OBN.

[10:53] My parents, uh, David and Jamie Tyler.

[10:56] My other family, my father and in-law

[10:58] and mother-in-law, I got Larry Miller,

[10:59] Kathy Miller, Carly Miller, and

[11:01] Christina Miller. Tony Almagar, he was

[11:03] actually my assistant chief when I began

[11:05] my law enforcement career in Watonga,

[11:07] Oklahoma. uh his second grandson, former

[11:10] street partner of mine is now city

[11:11] manager of Blackwell, Jerry Wheelen, and

[11:13] of course in our local uh officers that

[11:16] we got here, officer JD Foster, Jack

[11:18] Fier, and Robert Spikers.

[11:21] All right. And then it appears that the

[11:24] Garfield County Sheriff Cory Rinky

[11:27] [laughter]

[11:28] right on time.

[11:29] >> Right on time. So,

[11:33] thank you guys. [applause]

[21:31] >> Thank you, sir. You're welcome.

[21:33] Okay, we'll move on to our council

[21:35] reports. We're going to start with board

[21:36] one. Scott,

[21:38] >> I don't have anything this week or this

[21:40] week.

[21:40] >> Jay,

[21:42] >> I'm good now.

[21:43] >> Okay, Joe,

[21:45] >> I'm good.

[21:47] >> Awesome.

[21:48] >> I don't have anything. Just a question

[21:49] for Nate. Has there been any recent

[21:51] development about the road, the damn

[21:54] road that we're going to ask?

[21:57] >> Yeah, great question. Um, in terms of

[22:00] the paving on it

[22:02] >> or

[22:04] >> the paving on it, um, we haven't I've

[22:07] reached out to to Nick, but with him

[22:09] getting voted out, um, I haven't pursued

[22:13] uh any kind of commitment with that. I'm

[22:15] waiting for Daryl to come in before we talk. However, we have talked

[22:20] about uh the alternative route

[22:22] situation. Um, and I'll have to

[22:25] coordinate with Daryl on that too to

[22:26] improve those roads so that people can

[22:28] get around while uh while the dam is

[22:30] being constructed.

[22:33] >> When does that change? Is it end

[22:36] November or the end of the year?

[22:37] >> Oh, I thought it was November.

[22:38] >> I think it's end of the year, but

[22:46] » Dette

[22:50] Sammy.

[22:51] >> Yes. I had one concern. Um, a group of

[22:55] kids, little kids, ride their bikes

[22:58] every other day to um, the creek area on

[23:01] 7th and on 9inth Street. And both of

[23:04] those areas where they go to fish every

[23:06] day is covered up with trees and brush

[23:08] and stuff like that. So, people aren't

[23:10] seeing them when they're driving up 7th

[23:12] or up N. So, the concern is they don't

[23:15] see them till they get right up on them

[23:16] and then they're scared. Someone's going

[23:18] to get ran over. So the ask was if we

[23:21] could clear that out a little bit maybe

[23:24] just so they can see and they park their

[23:26] bikes behind the guard rails.

[23:28] >> What area? 7th and 9th. What area?

[23:30] >> So it's north 7th. There's a creek area.

[23:33] It's before you get to Wake before you

[23:35] get to Quill Creek. And the same thing

[23:37] on 9inth. It's after you pass Wakefield

[23:39] before you get to the country club.

[23:41] There's another the creek runs right

[23:42] through

[23:43] >> over by the halls.

[23:44] >> Okay. So north of Wakefield. Yes. North

[23:47] of Wakefield. Yep. Show them the low

[23:49] water.

[23:51] >> So then they go back there and park

[23:52] their bikes and fish and nobody can see

[23:54] them.

[23:56] >> So

[23:58] >> thank you.

[24:00] >> I'll definitely look into

[24:02] >> I saw a kid riding a bicycle down 15

[24:04] this fishing pole.

[24:06] >> I love seeing kids instead of doing

[24:09] this. They're out fishing. I talk to

[24:10] them every day when they're fishing.

[24:12] It's awesome.

[24:14] Derek.

[24:18] All right. Well, I do have something as

[24:20] well. Um, so on Monday for Rotary, um,

[24:25] Senator Lucas is coming out, um, and

[24:29] visiting Perry. Um, and so part of this

[24:32] update, I also invited Josh to kind of

[24:34] fill us in on

[24:37] um, what's happening with the fire

[24:39] station. But if you recall, um, we we

[24:42] put in a request to get funding from

[24:45] Senator Lucas because he has funds

[24:47] earmarked for those kind of projects.

[24:49] And so,

[24:51] and as he's coming up, so council, I'd

[24:53] also like to invite everybody to, you

[24:55] know, mark that on your calendars if you

[24:56] can come out. It'd be really good to

[24:58] have to have the city there to kind of

[25:02] >> impress upon Senator Lucas the

[25:05] difference that fire station can make.

[25:07] >> Lunch time.

[25:08] >> Yeah. Yep. And they meet at Well, they

[25:10] might change where they meet. I don't

[25:12] know.

[25:12] >> I'm not really sure yet.

[25:15] >> Yeah, usually they meet at the country

[25:17] club, but then how many people come out

[25:19] if the venue might change, but typically

[25:22] it's at country club at noon.

[25:28] » Okay. So, um this is about two years

[25:31] worth of work, but this is kind of phase

[25:34] one. So I I'm going to give you guys

[25:36] kind of the big picture so that it kind

[25:38] of makes a little bit more sense. This

[25:40] what you have in front of you is just

[25:42] the fire station. Um the for those of

[25:46] you that might not know uh we are

[25:49] looking at uh two really three phases.

[25:52] Um Ditch uh has allocated around 15

[25:58] acres uh for sure on the south side of

[26:01] fur right across the the way there. If

[26:04] you look at the both of the entrances uh

[26:07] to Ditch Witch's um so the westernmost

[26:10] entrance and the eastern most entrance

[26:12] to Ditch Witch not to the training

[26:14] center in between there there's a little

[26:16] road that goes to where the old hat's

[26:18] house used to be. Um they've allocated

[26:20] that land for us to build what I started

[26:23] out as calling the Noble County Public

[26:25] Training Facility. Um the the really the

[26:28] big reason for this is is that uh having

[26:31] a training facility in Noble County

[26:32] increases uh economic development for

[26:35] us. It lowers our ISO rating. Um so for

[26:38] corporate insurance, for example, for us

[26:40] to have a training facility and a ladder

[26:42] truck, your corporate insurance uh will

[26:45] go down uh theoretically by about 30%.

[26:49] um uh property insurance for residential

[26:52] will go down for 15% within a 5 mile

[26:54] radius of us having that training

[26:57] facility as well as a brand new

[26:59] firehouse. Um you all know I don't need

[27:02] to preach to you about how the fire

[27:03] station is. It's it's in very much of a

[27:07] disrepair doing the best we can with

[27:08] what we have but we know that we have to

[27:11] do something. So started off with

[27:13] Ditchwood saying here's the land now

[27:16] make it happen. Uh so for the last year

[27:19] and a half I've been meeting with

[27:20] different organizations specifically

[27:22] with the county and things of that

[27:24] nature. And the more we got into it, the

[27:26] more we realized that that we need to

[27:29] focus in on uh phase one being the

[27:31] firehouse and ambulance bays um and new

[27:35] housing facilities. And then in the same

[27:38] vein, not ever losing track of we have

[27:42] in order to make our ISO rating drop,

[27:44] you have to have the training facility.

[27:46] like that's that's the biggest piece. Um

[27:49] and the ladder truck. Uh there's a lot

[27:51] of ways to fund it. Um and uh Lucas's

[27:54] people reached out to us at a an event

[27:58] that we were at just by happen stance um

[28:01] and said that uh they would like to look

[28:03] into a USDA rural economic development

[28:05] piece where they would add it into their

[28:07] budget. So at that time we asked for

[28:10] around $8 million. Um, this facility,

[28:14] uh, for those of you that are in

[28:15] construction can vouch for me, when

[28:17] you're looking at this type of facility,

[28:19] most of the time you're looking at about

[28:20] $250 per square foot. This facility is

[28:23] around $18,000 ft. So, we were looking

[28:26] at $4.5 million to build the facility.

[28:29] Um, if this goes through, um, from what

[28:33] Melanie and I've been told, we're

[28:34] looking at around being allocated for

[28:36] sure. Well, and I and you know how it

[28:39] for sure goes. Uh the the goal is to be

[28:42] receiving around $3 million from the

[28:44] USDA rural economic development piece on

[28:47] the on the bill. So uh and possibly

[28:51] more, but what they what they were

[28:53] saying was that uh pretty close to being

[28:55] sure as much as you can say around a

[28:58] million dollars. So that leaves uh

[29:00] Melanie and I the great task of coming

[29:02] up with another five another two um

[29:05] really to to finish this facility. Um

[29:09] the 5 million is is pays for the base.

[29:12] You all can see it. I'm just going to go

[29:13] over this really quickly. Um the first

[29:15] page you see here is the overhead view

[29:17] of the base. Uh this would the the bays

[29:21] over here are increased so that we can

[29:23] have um a ladder truck and things of

[29:26] that nature. And it also houses and it

[29:28] provides room for growth which you all

[29:31] understand as our town is continuing to

[29:32] grow, we need to have the growth

[29:35] available. Um and so uh my favorite part

[29:38] about this is um currently our guys do

[29:42] not have that that have to be stationed

[29:44] there do not have a tornado shelter and

[29:46] we don't have any training facilities

[29:48] inside that facility. So uh we do have

[29:50] training facilities. We have a training

[29:51] room facility in the middle there. Uh

[29:54] there's our O2 rehab and our um

[29:59] uh decon bay uh which is right there.

[30:01] They are both uh tornado shelters. If

[30:03] you move over to the to the left hand

[30:06] side of the page, this piece right here,

[30:08] this room with all chairs, that's a

[30:10] training room. Um, and then there's some

[30:13] uh different cool things. My favorite

[30:15] piece of the first floor is this room

[30:18] right here, which we're calling the

[30:20] emergency operations command center. Uh,

[30:22] for those of you that know anything

[30:23] about how FEMA operates, if we have when

[30:26] we have a natural disaster, um, it's

[30:29] just it's always a matter of when. um

[30:32] you have to have what's called an

[30:33] emergency operations command center.

[30:35] Well, we do not have one currently in

[30:37] Noble County except for the little room

[30:39] that they use inside the jail so that

[30:41] during the storms, as long as we're not

[30:44] processing anybody all huddled up inside

[30:46] there and [snorts] and then they all

[30:48] watch the screens until the storm has

[30:50] passed. This would allow us to have all

[30:52] of the officers there in one place and

[30:55] dispatch being in that little section

[30:57] there completely safe from harm in any

[31:00] way, shape, or form. And then on the top

[31:02] side of the page, you'll see the

[31:03] ambulance bays. Uh there's three and you

[31:06] can see where it says future expansion.

[31:08] Moving along just so I can keep it

[31:10] going. The next page is a a little bit

[31:13] better view of that so that you can see

[31:15] it better. And then uh the third page is

[31:18] even deeper so that you can see the

[31:21] office rooms and things of that nature.

[31:22] Now, I want to go to the back page so

[31:25] you can see the upstairs because this is

[31:27] the most important piece for me. Mainly

[31:30] because I'm a little bit overprotective

[31:32] of my guys right now. Uh we have uh when

[31:36] it comes to sleeping arrangements, they have no um separation from exhaust

[31:43] and carbon monoxide except for one door.

[31:46] So when we we have any aspect of them

[31:48] running their engines in any way, shape

[31:50] or form, there's nothing that separates

[31:52] from from this. So this allows us the

[31:55] second floor to be completely

[31:56] decontaminated from them. And the guys

[31:59] only asked for one thing. They wanted

[32:01] poles. So [laughter] um there's a fire

[32:04] pole on the far right hand side in the

[32:06] bottom corner and then there's a fire

[32:08] pole for the ambulance bays on the top

[32:10] section. But my second favorite piece of

[32:13] this is on the bottom left hand side of

[32:15] this page. You'll notice that there's

[32:17] four bunks. It's actually eight. Notice

[32:20] that we do a lot of work with volunteers

[32:22] and other departments in our area in

[32:24] Noble County. When we have an emergency,

[32:26] there's no place for them to sit uh to

[32:29] sleep in case they have to spend the

[32:31] night. Uh when I was in Texas helping

[32:34] with the the massive floods in Kurville

[32:36] and and the the canyon camp and all

[32:38] those things, the one thing that I

[32:40] noticed the most is in rural communities

[32:42] and our size and they had no emergency

[32:45] operations command center, there was no

[32:47] place to sleep for the volunteers. So

[32:49] this would give us our ability for Rock

[32:51] Township or Red Rock or anybody else to

[32:53] spend the night here. Well, there's a

[32:55] Yeah, there's some nice things in there,

[32:56] but uh they're individual bedrooms and

[33:00] we'll be installing a heart healthy tone

[33:02] system because right now we have found

[33:04] out scientifically that well the

[33:06] statistics prove that the at 2:00 in the

[33:09] morning it causes massive blood pressure

[33:11] changes and they have more issues with

[33:14] PTSD because of the the heart um healthy

[33:18] without having the heart healthy um tone

[33:20] systems and it's completely exhaustfree

[33:23] the whole facility.

[33:25] Um, so the $3 million is going to go

[33:28] directly towards this.

[33:31] Um, and then my goal is is I'm not done,

[33:33] right? Like I mean my goal is is that we

[33:36] would raise $1 million and we would have

[33:38] the the the burn tower. We'd have a

[33:41] training facility. I want to do water

[33:43] rescue. Part of the deal was the

[33:44] property that Dwitch gave us as a pond.

[33:47] Uh, and everybody says, "Oh, we'll never

[33:49] have to do water rescue." And then look

[33:51] at three or four weeks ago and we had we

[33:53] had to call somebody else to come and do

[33:55] it for us. So water rescue is a huge

[33:58] piece. We have a lot of water in our

[34:00] county. Um this would give us the

[34:02] ability to do that type of training

[34:03] which we don't have currently. So any

[34:06] questions? Did that in seven minutes. So

[34:09] how can we help? Um

[34:12] talk to Senator Lucas. I think just the

[34:15] just just kind of the focus in on we are

[34:19] uh we are not in a position

[34:22] uh currently with our sales tax

[34:24] structure to to add a bond like that. I

[34:26] mean it's just it's just not it's not

[34:28] available. I mean Melanie and I are

[34:30] looking for grants specifically. Uh

[34:32] we're going to be approaching FEMA for

[34:35] uh redoing all the electronics um

[34:38] because FEMA will pay for the

[34:39] electronics and help us. They'll have to

[34:41] do a matching grant. I think they

[34:44] Lucas's gang is going to want to hear

[34:46] from you how much in support you are of

[34:49] this effort and that we will do

[34:52] everything we possibly can within our

[34:54] power to help uh I don't want to say

[34:56] match but try to figure out a way to

[34:58] match. Um you all did a phenomenal job

[35:01] with your letter of approval and and

[35:04] excitement. Um we we've we've received

[35:07] letters from all over the state geared

[35:09] to him to help us with that. So, the

[35:11] more you can say, "Hey, we really need

[35:14] some assistance with this and we're kind of strapped." That would be very helpful. Uh, the county is 100%

[35:21] the county commissioners are 100% in

[35:23] support of this. It's it's just trying

[35:25] to figure out the logistics, you know,

[35:27] cuz the firehouse specifically is is is

[35:30] more for us, right? The emergency

[35:32] operations command center would house

[35:35] Noble County in an emergency situation,

[35:37] but the training facility is a county

[35:39] thing. So, there we are. Is that

[35:42] helpful?

[35:43] >> Yeah. No, thank you, John.

[35:44] >> Any questions? Because this is kind of

[35:46] the first time you guys have got any

[35:48] plans and I'm I've been working on this

[35:51] for a little over a year and a half with

[35:53] Melanie and so my brain's a little

[35:54] fried.

[35:57] Okay, cool. Thank you. So, I hope this

[36:00] kind of paints the picture for everyone.

[36:02] come on Monday just to see Senator

[36:04] Lucas. This gives you an idea of what

[36:06] the fire department is kind of looking

[36:08] at going for the cost of it. That way if

[36:11] he asks you what what your thoughts are

[36:13] on it, you can answer him.

[36:18] He'll be at the

[36:19] >> he'll be at Rotary. Yeah. At this

[36:21] [clears throat] next Rotary meeting.

[36:23] That's Monday at noon. Um as of right

[36:26] now, they typically have it at the

[36:27] country club. Depending how many people

[36:28] come, they might move it to another

[36:30] venue.

[36:32] All right. So, now we'll move on to item

[36:35] number six, city manager remarks and

[36:37] updates.

[36:38] >> Absolutely. Thanks, Mayor. I have a a

[36:40] few things to go over. The first is uh

[36:43] council last meeting you brought up

[36:45] Quail Creek and 9inth. Uh just wanted to

[36:47] give you an update. Reached out to uh

[36:51] Commissioner King Holtz with the county

[36:54] uh and he's in support of that project.

[36:56] It's it's a county road, but I said,

[36:58] "Hey, the city would be willing to

[37:00] assist with that. We have a mutual aid

[37:01] agreement as they've assisted us with

[37:03] many roads. Uh so the ball's kind of in

[37:05] his court on setting up a date when we

[37:07] can meet him out there and and discuss a

[37:09] plan. But um just wanted to update you

[37:11] on that

[37:12] >> as in paving it or just maintain it and

[37:14] paving it.

[37:15] >> Yep.

[37:17] >> Um all right, let's talk about electric

[37:20] rates and reliability. So, I know a few

[37:23] re a few of you have reached out uh just

[37:25] given some of the issues we've had

[37:27] recently with the overload on, you know,

[37:29] it's been really really hot and that's

[37:30] overloaded our system a couple of times.

[37:32] Um, and asked uh a few questions. One

[37:36] is, you know, how do our rates compare

[37:38] to other cities? Uh, another is, hey,

[37:41] what's our reliability look like

[37:43] compared to other entities? Um, and then

[37:45] the third is, well, what programs do we

[37:47] have uh to help with reducing costs for

[37:50] residents or businesses? Um, just wanted

[37:52] to let you know those questions are on

[37:54] my radar. I was working with Merida

[37:56] today. We're working with Autumn. We're

[37:57] going to have uh some answers for you

[38:00] next meeting and do kind of a

[38:01] presentation on that. Uh, so if there's

[38:04] additional questions besides those ones

[38:05] that I've just mentioned, um, just let

[38:08] me know between now and then so we can

[38:09] work on.

[38:12] And then um lastly, I want to update you

[38:15] on

[38:17] the two projects that you've assigned me

[38:19] specifically, which is the main kill

[38:21] project uh and the airport. So, with the

[38:24] main kill project going really really

[38:26] well, um they're in their final phase,

[38:30] which is boring underneath uh underneath

[38:32] fur uh to fix some lines that they have

[38:35] there and kill out some lines there. Um,

[38:37] and then it's just going back and

[38:38] patching people's yards, which I think

[38:40] people will be excited about because

[38:41] we've received several calls about that.

[38:43] Um, but project went really, really

[38:46] well. It's under budget. Uh, and um,

[38:51] didn't run into nearly as many issues as

[38:54] they thought they would, which is why

[38:55] it's so far under budget. So, um, any

[38:59] questions on Manula?

[39:03] >> Okay. Are any of those uh streets are

[39:06] they coming back and fixing those holes

[39:09] I guess in the

[39:10] >> Yes.

[39:10] >> in the streets?

[39:11] >> Yep. Yep. Coming back patching fixing

[39:14] yards. Yep. Still got to do

[39:15] >> How are they patch Are they going to

[39:17] patch those with concrete?

[39:20] >> I don't know what their plan is.

[39:22] I'll have to ask.

[39:24] >> There'll be reinforced concrete on on

[39:26] the uh side streets. the the the highway

[39:30] will have concrete patched with asphalt

[39:32] over the top.

[39:34] >> Is that

[39:36] going to work well with us repaving the

[39:38] streets and the zipper?

[39:45] » Well, it's probably the best alternative

[39:48] to be able to repair the streets with

[39:50] the zipper. I mean, we can just we can

[39:52] put concrete over the top of the

[39:54] concrete patch when we come through

[39:56] there. But as far as just doing the pull

[40:00] or we just don't do the the pavement

[40:02] repair at all and then just fix it when

[40:05] we do the streets, but then you left it

[40:07] the hole for an extended period of time.

[40:09] So I like the concrete because it's

[40:12] reinforced. It's not going to settle

[40:14] completely and it's just like we did the

[40:18] uh repairs for the uh for the big 10-in

[40:22] loop through town is what we're doing.

[40:25] But we can come back with an extra inch

[40:28] and a half of asphalt over the top of

[40:30] those patches when we get there and

[40:32] feather it over it. So,

[40:34] >> I'll I'll talk to Chris Verpo about it,

[40:37] Joe. But, um, it shouldn't be an issue

[40:39] because that's going to match the the

[40:41] current height that we have and so that spot will just be more stable.

[40:45] It'll have a more stable base.

[40:47] >> And is is that what we're waiting on to

[40:49] finish some street projects?

[40:51] >> That and the weather too hot.

[40:57] Hey, [clears throat] back to the

[40:59] electricity really just communication. I

[41:02] don't know whoever did the update last

[41:04] night about 9:00 about I thought that

[41:06] was a great message. I mean it's not

[41:08] anything we want to hear, right? But I

[41:10] thought it was transparent. I thought it

[41:11] was timely.

[41:12] >> Um and I mean said we're still looking

[41:15] into it and I think that's what people

[41:16] want to know some of it.

[41:19] >> So thank you.

[41:20] >> Yeah, appreciate that. Any other

[41:23] questions about stuff we've discussed so

[41:25] far?

[41:27] All right. Well, Terren is here, our

[41:28] airport manager, to give us an update on

[41:31] the airport hangers. Um, so I'll let him

[41:33] come up and talk to you guys about that.

[41:36] >> How's it going?

[41:38] Good. Are you doing all right? Um, so we

[41:42] officially got handed over those

[41:43] hangers. It would have been

[41:46] um the 20th was the date that they

[41:48] handed them off to us. Everything was

[41:50] squared away. did the walk through and

[41:52] all that. And I can say at this point I

[41:56] have three of the four of them already

[41:58] rented.

[41:58] >> Nice.

[42:01] >> Thought I was going to get that fourth

[42:02] one in before this meeting, but didn't

[42:03] quite get it. So, um but yeah, we've got three of the four of them in.

[42:08] Uh pulled a couple of guys out of town.

[42:12] Um one I'm moving from our terminal

[42:16] hanger to that one. So, he's going to

[42:18] end up paying more cuz he's got a big

[42:19] twin. So, there's going to be a plus

[42:21] there. And then I'll fill that terminal

[42:23] one probably within

[42:26] less than a week because it's OS. OSU is

[42:28] always looking,

[42:29] >> right?

[42:30] >> So, and then the other uh slot that I've

[42:33] got in there, I'm going to start

[42:35] contacting. I haven't even reached out

[42:37] to anybody. This was just based off my

[42:38] list. So, that's squared away. And uh

[42:43] yeah, so progress. I expect to have that

[42:46] one filled pretty quick.

[42:48] >> Nice. We're ready for four more.

[42:50] >> Yep. Four. One big one. I'm still trying

[42:53] to run the numbers on that. [laughter]

[42:55] I'm trying to figure out is it is it

[42:56] advantageous to make them smaller,

[42:59] longer, and more of them? What's the

[43:01] cost going to be compared to what we

[43:03] would get or would we get more bang for

[43:05] the buck out of just a large gang one?

[43:09] And then also that possibility on the uh

[43:12] mechanic deal. Is that funding, that

[43:15] same funding that we got still

[43:17] available?

[43:18] >> Yeah, this is they started doing this

[43:20] yearly. OS or ODA

[43:24] did they started this program and

[43:26] they've had a ton of success with it.

[43:29] >> So,

[43:29] >> but we don't know how long the state's

[43:31] going to continue doing that. So, we we

[43:33] are eager to if you guys want us to, we

[43:35] are eager to bring back a budget

[43:36] amendment and continue pursuing no more

[43:38] of these hangers.

[43:39] >> I mean, if we can keep filling them, we

[43:41] keep getting funding like we did. That's

[43:43] fantastic.

[43:44] >> If you if they just get handed to you

[43:46] and you've already got them full

[43:48] basically.

[43:49] >> Yeah.

[43:49] >> That's then it sounds like it wouldn't I

[43:52] say we keep doing it until they don't

[43:54] fill up that quick.

[43:55] >> And the break even was what 2 3 years.

[43:58] Two year two and a half two and a half

[44:00] years.

[44:01] >> The uh the entire from what I've talked

[44:03] to the airport managers even you know

[44:06] down in Texas up north and

[44:10] uh Kansas pretty much all over the

[44:11] United States. They're just we need

[44:14] hangers. Like all the airports need hang

[44:16] hangers and I think that's one of the

[44:18] reasons that uh Oklahoma State uh they

[44:22] passed that and tried to get get our

[44:25] ball rolling on that.

[44:27] >> The state's really pushing for the

[44:29] aviation side. They've got that

[44:30] spaceport going on out there. I mean,

[44:32] they're pushing hard for it, which is

[44:34] great cuz we'll run with them.

[44:38] I I think it's a huge asset for us that

[44:40] we haven't really tapped into over the

[44:42] last however many years and that's

[44:44] something that we really need to

[44:47] if the funding's there and we can do it,

[44:48] we should go ahead and do it because I

[44:51] think down the road it's going to really

[44:53] be advantageous for us.

[44:54] >> Yep. I agree. there's uh in any kind of

[44:57] infrastructure. I I consider that

[44:59] long-term infrastructure cuz I've got

[45:02] some out there that are probably coming

[45:04] up on 50 years old that are still

[45:07] they're still being used,

[45:08] >> right?

[45:09] >> Um and these the way these things are

[45:11] built are

[45:12] >> they're awesome. I like

[45:16] >> Yeah, bigger than I thought. [laughter]

[45:20] » All right, any other questions?

[45:24] Cool. Thank you. Thanks.

[45:29] Have a good one. You too, sir. Good to

[45:31] see you. All right.

[45:32] >> Sounds like we'll bring back some uh a

[45:34] budget amendment next time and and talk

[45:36] about it then. And I don't have anything

[45:38] else on my report unless there's

[45:39] specific questions.

[45:43] » Amen. All right. Thank you, Nate.

[45:45] >> Mhm. All right. We'll go into item

[45:47] number seven, consideration of possible

[45:48] action regarding a school resource

[45:50] officer contract between the city of

[45:52] Perry Independent School District number

[45:54] one for the 2627 school year.

[45:57] >> Just continuing our

[46:00] >> Yep. contract correct. Same same idea.

[46:03] Contracts beefed up a little bit.

[46:05] >> Motion to approve.

[46:06] >> Second.

[46:07] >> Roll call.

[46:10] >> Coffee.

[46:10] >> Yes.

[46:12] >> Marshall?

[46:12] >> Yes. Davis?

[46:13] >> Yes.

[46:14] >> Cold?

[46:14] >> Yes.

[46:15] >> Williams? Yes.

[46:16] >> Oshai.

[46:17] >> Yes.

[46:18] Item number eight, consideration,

[46:20] possible action regarding the mayor's

[46:21] nomination uh to the Perry Planning

[46:23] Commission. So, I just wanted to have

[46:25] that on there. We do have an open seat

[46:26] on the planning commission. I've got a

[46:28] couple people that I'm talking to about

[46:30] filling that seat. Um so, I don't have a

[46:32] nomination as of right now, but probably

[46:35] here in the next meeting or so, we'll

[46:38] have somebody that'll be presenting for

[46:39] everybody. Um, so we will continue on

[46:43] with item number nine, discussion,

[46:46] consideration, and possible action

[46:47] regarding the Oklahoma Water Resources

[46:49] Board rule economic action plan grant

[46:52] program, including a identification and

[46:55] selection of an eligible water,

[46:57] wastewater, or storm water project,

[46:59] adoption of a resolution authorizing

[47:01] submission of the grant application,

[47:03] designation of an authorized

[47:04] representative, approval of a local

[47:06] funding commitment if any, and

[47:08] authorization of all related actions and

[47:11] documents.

[47:13] >> So, Matt and I went back and forth on

[47:15] this one. Uh, and he's here to present

[47:17] the recommendation.

[47:20] >> What projects we looking at?

[47:21] >> Well, I wanted to pick a project that we

[47:23] could get done this funding cycle just

[47:26] in case there is another trough of money

[47:28] that gets push pushed into this program.

[47:31] This has been a grant that we have not

[47:32] went for historically because we're just

[47:35] too large of a city uh to to be able to

[47:38] score adequate points. I mean, and we

[47:40] are still losing points for our

[47:42] population. Um so the way we can

[47:45] overcome that and gain some of those

[47:46] points back is to not ask for the full

[47:49] amount this year. So the this year they

[47:52] put $10 million into that program and

[47:54] entities can ask for up to $350,000.

[47:58] But if you ask for $350,000,

[48:01] you lose seven points off of your

[48:03] scoring criteria. This uh if you ask for

[48:07] $200,000, well 100,9

[48:10] take $1 off whatever I tell you. So

[48:12] $200,000 is zero points. And then every

[48:14] 25 points that you come or $25,000 you

[48:18] come off of that, you pick up a point.

[48:20] So if you ask for $174,9.99,

[48:22] you get one point. If you ask for 150,

[48:26] you get two points. If you ask for 125,

[48:28] three points. If you ask for 99,000, you

[48:31] get four points. So, we wanted to break

[48:33] something off of a project that we're

[48:35] already doing. If we can save that money

[48:36] off our FAP funds, we can allocate those

[48:39] dollars to something else. So, I said,

[48:41] "Let's break out the uh controls and

[48:43] instrumentation at the water treatment

[48:45] plant because that's something that we

[48:47] could get done in a fairly short time

[48:48] frame um and close this out before

[48:52] September 1 of next year just in case

[48:55] they keep the rules the same and there's

[48:58] additional funds in there and larger

[49:00] communities are available to go for

[49:02] that. So, the recommendation is to, you

[49:05] know, decide, do we want three points,

[49:08] do we want four points, kind of try to

[49:10] make up some of those points that we're

[49:12] going to lose because we're over uh what

[49:15] was this? 1750 on population. I'll find

[49:18] the population.

[49:23] So, you get 55 points max on your

[49:26] population.

[49:28] Um, so if you you were 1750 or less, you

[49:30] would get 55 points. Um,

[49:34] 3500 or less is 40 points and 5,250 or

[49:38] less is 25 points. So, okay. So, we're

[49:41] already taking, you know, pretty good

[49:43] hit on points right there. So, asking

[49:46] for less will help

[49:49] increase our odds of getting that. So,

[49:52] you know, I'd rather see us get 99,000

[49:54] than get zero. Uh so

[49:57] >> so the just a a quick interjection here.

[50:00] We looked at like I said we looked at

[50:01] five or six different projects. This

[50:03] project was actually already slated.

[50:04] It's something we're already planning on

[50:06] doing as part of the funding um that

[50:08] we've we've been working towards. Um and

[50:11] the thought process was well this is

[50:13] already planned so we have money to

[50:14] match. We uh it's already designed so

[50:17] it's ready to go. We can get it done

[50:19] very quickly. Um, and then if we wanted

[50:22] to, we could either pay off the debt

[50:24] faster or use, uh, that funding for some

[50:27] of the other things that we were

[50:28] considering like waterline extensions

[50:30] and things like that. So, um,

[50:33] >> well, the and the the thing to notice

[50:35] about this one is there's no points for

[50:37] economic development.

[50:38] >> Even though it's a rural economic action

[50:40] plan, you get no points for any economic

[50:43] incentives [clears throat] associated

[50:45] with this project. Whereas with the not

[50:47] to reap grants that we get, they like to

[50:49] see development. So the line extension

[50:51] projects and things like that that we

[50:52] were looking at, those will be better

[50:54] geared and score better towards the not

[50:56] to reap. So whereas this one is, you

[50:58] know,

[51:02] more broad and more based off of

[51:04] intentness, things like that. So

[51:08] >> So I guess we're kind of looking for two

[51:10] things. One is uh permission to proceed

[51:13] with with this grant application and two

[51:15] is uh if you have any feedback whether

[51:17] we go for 99

[51:20] uh $1,999

[51:22] versus the $1249.99.

[51:25] >> And the only reason we would do that is

[51:27] because of point differences. How much

[51:28] did that project?

[51:31] >> How much total? Yeah,

[51:32] >> that one was

[51:33] >> approximately 300,000. Oh,

[51:35] >> okay.

[51:36] >> Yeah.

[51:36] >> But we already had funds allocated to do

[51:39] that. Correct.

[51:41] >> Yeah, that's part of the FAP fund. So,

[51:43] we'll show our FAP loan in there. And

[51:45] we'll get points for having 20% match or

[51:47] more, too, because you get points for

[51:49] 20% match. You'll get points because you

[51:51] have debt. Uh, you know, we'll have a

[51:54] sustainability plan in place. So,

[51:56] that'll get some points. Uh, that you'll

[51:58] actually get some points because you've

[52:00] never asked for an OWRB reef grant

[52:02] before. So

[52:07] » I say go on know that when that we're

[52:09] going to get I mean as far as money

[52:12] >> the more likely one

[52:13] >> the more we don't know any of them but

[52:17] more likely one

[52:21] » okay

[52:23] I like the conservative gamble

[52:25] [laughter]

[52:27] » how close does this get us back to what

[52:29] we lose on

[52:31] population points

[52:36] just just a little bit. I mean, we're

[52:39] going to get some points back for, you

[52:40] know, not applying there, but I mean, we

[52:43] have we've taken on some debt lately, so

[52:45] that helps. You've raised rates, that

[52:47] helps, you I mean it the the the scoring

[52:50] is basically population, water and sewer

[52:52] rates indebtness per customer, median

[52:56] household income,

[52:58] the ability to finance projects, which

[53:00] you know we have diminished our ability

[53:02] to take on further debt because we just

[53:04] borrowed, you know, a pretty good FAP

[53:06] loan. So that helps there. Uh a need, we

[53:10] obviously have a need. we could show a

[53:12] benefit to another system because we

[53:14] have a wholesale connection to Noble

[53:16] County number

[53:18] the Lucian water district one I think

[53:20] yeah one so we haven't asked for a grant

[53:23] before so we get points there and then

[53:26] workshop attendance so it's just when we

[53:29] submit asked did you attend the workshop

[53:31] it's available online and they didn't

[53:33] specify whether you had to go to the

[53:34] class or online so I would say if Nate

[53:36] would watch the the YouTube video on

[53:39] there then he he could park. Yes. Go

[53:42] home and feel good about it.

[53:43] >> I got their email today. It's on It's on

[53:45] the list.

[53:46] >> I think Derek to answer that question

[53:48] directly, I think we'll be first in line

[53:51] of the bigger population.

[53:54] >> Yeah.

[53:57] >> So, I mean 10 million divided by 150,000

[54:00] I mean that's you know that's how many

[54:03] projects they're going to hand out. So

[54:04] there there are going to be quite a few,

[54:06] you know,

[54:09] cuz I figure everybody's kind going to

[54:11] kind of ask for that sweet spot. So

[54:12] you're looking at probably 66 67 that

[54:15] they're going to try to hand out, you

[54:16] know, and um you know, they're not going

[54:20] to hand out a bunch of little ones

[54:21] either because

[54:24] they don't want to administer that many

[54:25] projects. I mean, that's same thing

[54:28] commerce did whenever they got their big

[54:30] trough of money. They said, "You get

[54:32] more points for asking for more money,

[54:34] you know, because we don't want to do

[54:37] that much work." [laughter]

[54:40] So, I mean, they don't want to load

[54:42] themselves up with too much. Like,

[54:44] before it was $99,000. Like, you ask for

[54:46] $99,000, you go up to 150. This year

[54:48] it's up to 350. So, they increase that

[54:51] up a little bit. But, at the end of the

[54:52] day, it's a formula. They plug it in.

[54:55] They just check out every cog. The top

[54:57] ranking projects in that cog until that

[54:59] money's gone, we'll get funded. So,

[55:04] >> yeah, I'd say do it or we could we're

[55:06] more likely to get it.

[55:07] >> Yeah.

[55:08] >> The 99.

[55:09] >> Okay.

[55:09] >> Then we'll go from there.

[55:12] >> All right. Thanks for the explanation.

[55:14] >> Yeah.

[55:15] >> And it was pretty short. Code.

[55:18] >> I can keep going.

[55:20] >> Stop it. [clears throat]

[55:25] Is there anything to build on? Uh adopt

[55:27] a resolution.

[55:34] » Was there wasn't a resolution yet.

[55:36] >> I think we're just giving direction

[55:37] right now.

[55:38] >> You guys will bring that to us.

[55:40] >> Yeah, I think that's correct.

[55:43] >> Discussion consideration possible

[55:45] because we don't have a resolution in

[55:46] there.

[55:47] >> We can pass the resolution for water

[55:49] system improvements and that covers. It

[55:51] doesn't ask what how many dollars you're

[55:53] going for. That's just going to be the

[55:55] engineering report that has to be

[55:56] submitted with the application. So,

[55:59] generally what I've been having entities

[56:02] do in the past is just say water system

[56:05] improvements, sewer system improvements,

[56:07] and that leaves it pretty broad for what

[56:11] we want to do. Matter of fact, I didn't

[56:13] know if we were doing going to do water

[56:14] or sewer when I did the resolution. So,

[56:16] I made it very broad when I said the

[56:18] price. I didn't know if we had it on the

[56:20] agenda for today.

[56:21] >> It's on there. Adopt a resolution

[56:23] authorizing submission of a grant

[56:25] application.

[56:26] >> Okay.

[56:26] >> It's on there and it's in the

[56:28] recommendation, too.

[56:29] >> Okay.

[56:32] >> So, what you're saying is you're wanting

[56:34] to do it for instruments, right?

[56:36] >> Yeah. Just water system improvements,

[56:38] water treatment plant improvements,

[56:41] right?

[56:41] >> Controls and instrumentation. I mean, if

[56:44] we want to I just always keep it very

[56:46] broad because sometimes people don't

[56:48] make their mind up until like a week

[56:49] before the grants due and it's like

[56:51] here's what we want to do, man. I was

[56:52] like, okay, it's wonderful time of year.

[57:04] » So, what are we doing?

[57:05] >> Yeah. So, you make a motion to approve

[57:08] water improvements and I don't know, you

[57:11] said a bunch of stuff.

[57:13] >> Yeah. Make a motion to approve the water

[57:16] uh water system improvements at the

[57:19] >> water treatment plant and adopt the

[57:21] resolution.

[57:21] >> Adopt the resolution.

[57:23] >> Yep. make a motion of what he just said.

[57:26] [laughter]

[57:27] >> And I second it.

[57:34] » Oh, come on.

[57:37] >> And do we need to designate

[57:39] authorized representative

[57:45] after we do this? I'm sorry.

[57:47] >> It doesn't help or it doesn't hurt. That

[57:49] way if something else comes up we can we

[57:53] can do it ourselves without having to

[57:54] come back.

[57:55] >> Is this something we have to do

[57:56] individually cuz it's ABC D or can we do

[58:00] it all in one?

[58:05] » They have to be individual motions race

[58:06] or can it all be one?

[58:08] >> You mean the amount?

[58:10] >> So item nine has

[58:11] >> has

[58:12] >> A, B, C, D, and E.

[58:17] Yeah, I would just say approve the

[58:19] recommendation.

[58:21] >> Just approve the recommendation.

[58:22] >> Yeah. [snorts]

[58:27] » And so we need an authorized repres

[58:30] representative.

[58:31] >> Mayor mayor or another appropriate city

[58:33] official.

[58:38] » See if you approve the recommendation be

[58:39] the mayor.

[58:42] I suppose

[58:43] >> it says it designate the mayor more.

[58:47] >> Maybe you need to specify.

[58:49] >> Yeah, that's why we put those

[58:50] recommendations down there. You can just

[58:52] read them if you want. I mean [laughter]

[58:55] mostly as exactly what we want you to

[58:58] do.

[58:59] >> Paint by color.

[59:06] » Authorize me. I'll get it done

[59:11] in group.

[59:13] >> Have a motion.

[59:14] >> Where we at? We have a motion, a second

[59:16] >> on something. We [laughter] already have

[59:18] a motion on all and and I authorize Nate

[59:23] the representative on this.

[59:25] >> Second.

[59:26] >> You were the motion. I was the motion.

[59:29] >> So, she needs to second.

[59:30] >> Second again.

[59:32] >> Okay.

[59:32] >> And we're good.

[59:33] >> Are we ready?

[59:34] >> And the answer is yes. [laughter]

[59:37] Yes.

[59:38] >> Floz.

[1:01:40] Item 13. discuss city strategic plan.

[1:01:42] This week we've got housing.

[1:01:45] Tyson, would you share my screen?

[1:01:54] Thank you, sir. So, um if you look, we

[1:01:58] have our uh the housing is strategic

[1:02:00] initiative number four. Um we've got

[1:02:02] four bullet points associated with it

[1:02:04] and one objective. The objective is to

[1:02:06] expand and improve housing options to

[1:02:08] support population growth, workforce

[1:02:11] needs, and overall community vitality.

[1:02:14] Um, and that includes four kind of

[1:02:16] points which the first is encourage

[1:02:19] development of new single family and

[1:02:21] multif family housing to support

[1:02:23] [clears throat] population growth and

[1:02:24] provide housers

[1:02:30] commuting every day um to Perry. I think

[1:02:33] the idea is provide more houses for them

[1:02:36] to have the option to live here and

[1:02:38] others, right? As we're growing with the

[1:02:40] paint facility, as we're growing with

[1:02:41] Amazon and things like that.

[1:02:45] Um, [clears throat]

[1:02:46] number two, promote reinvestment in

[1:02:48] existing neighborhoods by addressing

[1:02:50] dilapidated, vacant, or underutilized

[1:02:52] properties. Number three, utilize

[1:02:55] partnerships, incentives, and

[1:02:56] development tools to support responsible

[1:02:58] and sustainable housing growth. And

[1:03:00] number four, develop and maintain zoning

[1:03:03] and ordinances that promote growth while

[1:03:05] ensuring high quality housing standards.

[1:03:08] So, um, wanted to focus on point number

[1:03:10] one, but I'll talk a little bit about

[1:03:12] point number two as well today. So,

[1:03:15] point number one, I wanted to update

[1:03:17] council on the current housing projects

[1:03:19] that we have going on, answer any

[1:03:20] questions, and receive any feedback. Uh,

[1:03:23] we have, I think, four, yep, four

[1:03:26] housing projects going on and they are

[1:03:28] all moving so much slower than I wanted

[1:03:31] them to, but they are moving. So, Tower

[1:03:35] Edition, um, that's the one that we

[1:03:37] hoped would be fastest, and it's looking

[1:03:39] like it is going to be the first that

[1:03:41] breaks. Um, we've only had one developer

[1:03:44] of the three who's actually moved

[1:03:47] forward with uh with the commitment to

[1:03:50] build houses in that addition. Um,

[1:03:53] there's obviously other interests as

[1:03:55] well. Uh, but the one developer that or

[1:03:58] the one builder that we have is Chess

[1:04:00] Development LLC. It's Denton Parker. He

[1:04:03] is developing or building homes in

[1:04:05] Mustang right now that look really nice. Uh, working with him. He's

[1:04:09] assign he's signed a contract um that

[1:04:12] council has approved. Um the final piece

[1:04:15] of that is bringing his finalized new

[1:04:16] design for you to look at. He looked at

[1:04:19] his old designs and said, "Oh, we like

[1:04:20] those." But he's that doesn't fit on the

[1:04:23] lot very well. And so he's having the

[1:04:25] architect adjust that. So I'll bring

[1:04:26] those to you once they're ready. Um and

[1:04:29] he's hoping to break ground in November.

[1:04:32] Uh which

[1:04:34] well I won't say that. He's hoping to

[1:04:36] bring down in November on these five

[1:04:38] homes and see how they do and then if

[1:04:40] they do well, he'll he'll do additional

[1:04:42] homes.

[1:04:43] >> How many lots of those that was

[1:04:45] originally said he wanted 10?

[1:04:47] >> Yeah.

[1:04:48] >> Okay.

[1:04:48] >> Yep.

[1:04:49] >> How many lots are over there? Is it 30?

[1:04:51] >> We have TW Well, we have 25 right now.

[1:04:54] 20 of those are developable.

[1:04:55] >> Okay.

[1:04:56] >> Yes.

[1:05:00] So do have, like I said, there is other

[1:05:02] interest uh from other builders. Uh but

[1:05:05] he's the furthest along and um I'm

[1:05:08] learning you have to get verbal

[1:05:10] commitments from five before one does

[1:05:13] something.

[1:05:15] Second project is the Locust Street

[1:05:17] development. So that's been talked about

[1:05:19] for many, many years. Uh but we're

[1:05:23] finally getting close on it. So, the big

[1:05:26] hangup on that one has always been

[1:05:28] infrastructure. $4 million of

[1:05:31] infrastructure for your roads, your

[1:05:33] water, your sewer, your electric, your

[1:05:34] sidewalks within that development. Um,

[1:05:37] and

[1:05:39] MZON, uh, the Mzone family has verbally

[1:05:42] said, "Hey, we're interested in in

[1:05:44] funding this and paying half of that

[1:05:46] money to help develop this." The other

[1:05:49] half would come for P3 financing. Um,

[1:05:51] which the state has said they would fund

[1:05:54] a project like this with that P3. Uh,

[1:05:57] and Bear Creek Homes, who's wanted to

[1:06:00] develop it for it's probably been a year

[1:06:03] now. Um, but has we've have yet to

[1:06:07] overcome that $4 million wall, um, is

[1:06:09] still interested and is very interested

[1:06:11] with the idea of malls on behalf and the uh state paying the other half. So,

[1:06:18] um, we've sent Bear Creek Homes a

[1:06:20] contract to look through. Uh, he's

[1:06:24] talking about doing it in two, maybe

[1:06:25] three phases, and the contract, uh, is

[1:06:28] very well written. Bryce wrote it up.

[1:06:30] That gives us quite a bit of protection

[1:06:32] and, uh, him quite a bit of incentive to

[1:06:35] perform. So, that's the the second

[1:06:38] project that's for the storm.

[1:06:42] Third project, 25th Street, the malls on

[1:06:45] duplexes and triplexes. So that's multif

[1:06:46] family. Um that's the one that uh Eric

[1:06:50] Flesky and his team are developing.

[1:06:52] They're still moving on that just very

[1:06:54] slowly. The full lot is being platted

[1:06:58] right now. I have a meeting with uh that

[1:07:00] team this Friday uh to discuss their

[1:07:04] final plat um and give feedback on that

[1:07:07] final plat. So, the hope is to do I

[1:07:10] think they're still looking at doing

[1:07:12] around 100 units um but in in

[1:07:16] uh groups of 20 is what they're looking

[1:07:19] at. So, that one's still moving.

[1:07:23] And then um we've been talking with some

[1:07:25] people about apartments being proposed

[1:07:28] on other lots in town. One uh of those

[1:07:31] locations that's been proposed

[1:07:34] uh would be on the 120 acres the city

[1:07:37] owns across from Soonershorn. Um that

[1:07:41] one's the the newest in terms of we

[1:07:44] don't have a lot of details yet. So I

[1:07:46] don't have a whole lot to say besides

[1:07:48] the IDA has been thrown out. Um

[1:07:49] obviously as we get further along we

[1:07:51] would bring you uh additional

[1:07:53] information to approve. So,

[1:07:58] » any questions on those projects?

[1:08:00] >> Some kind of rough drawing on on that

[1:08:02] before we get too involved in that cuz I think that's a prime

[1:08:09] I think that that location was prime

[1:08:11] candidate for single family and the the

[1:08:15] retail and the different things that

[1:08:16] we've talked about there.

[1:08:17] >> Yeah.

[1:08:18] >> I'm not saying that apartment complex

[1:08:20] can't fit in there. You just want to see

[1:08:21] how it fits in there before you put a

[1:08:24] whole lot of time and effort into

[1:08:26] chasing that.

[1:08:27] >> Yeah, totally agree. I have I have a a

[1:08:30] drawing that AI made and I I'm not

[1:08:32] saying this is right or would work or is

[1:08:36] perfect, but I like this for one reason.

[1:08:38] I like everything involved in it. And

[1:08:41] I'll explain what that means. Hold on

[1:08:43] just a second.

[1:08:46] So,

[1:08:47] if you look at that, you have I35 here.

[1:08:50] You have Highway 77 there. This is

[1:08:52] obviously owned by ONQ. And like I said,

[1:08:54] it's not perfect yet. Um, but I like the

[1:08:58] aspect of having an anchor retailer that

[1:09:01] brings people off of I35 to spend money

[1:09:04] in Perry. I like the idea of having

[1:09:06] smaller retail, uh, maybe some

[1:09:08] restaurants or some other retail

[1:09:11] shopping centers. Uh, and I like the

[1:09:14] idea of having a mixed use of the

[1:09:16] apartments. And like I said, I don't

[1:09:18] know if that's the right spot, but and

[1:09:20] then I like the idea of having single

[1:09:22] family. Um,

[1:09:24] that's kind of what I envision in terms

[1:09:26] of what would be included in that 120

[1:09:29] acres. Um, I think you're going to get a

[1:09:32] lot more interest from retailers if

[1:09:35] there's housing as part of it, right? So

[1:09:37] that they know, hey, they're going to

[1:09:38] walk over here and and buy Taco Bell or

[1:09:40] whatever. Um, the anchor retailer is

[1:09:43] going to be obviously the piece that

[1:09:44] brings everybody in. Um, and we'll work

[1:09:47] really hard with uh, retail strategies

[1:09:51] with that if that grant gets approved.

[1:09:53] Um,

[1:09:57] » right off the interstate.

[1:09:59] >> Mhm. Yeah,

[1:09:59] >> that's what my concern would be.

[1:10:02] >> The housing against Lake Road. That to

[1:10:05] me makes the most sense cuz it's

[1:10:08] >> Yeah. for the like closest to the lake

[1:10:10] you're saying. Yeah, I agree.

[1:10:12] >> I think people would pay to to live

[1:10:14] there. I think maybe what you do though

[1:10:15] is instead of putting the apartments

[1:10:16] right next to it, I think you maybe put

[1:10:18] those up here,

[1:10:19] >> put a green

[1:10:21] separate.

[1:10:23] >> Yeah. And obviously there's not a pond

[1:10:25] there right now. So, and there is a pond

[1:10:28] here. So, future development, like I

[1:10:30] said, it's not perfect, but I like all

[1:10:32] the aspects of it.

[1:10:34] >> Right. Right.

[1:10:37] So

[1:10:39] any other thoughts on uh housing before

[1:10:41] I talk dilapidated

[1:10:46] okay so the the other thing I'll give a

[1:10:48] quick update on is cuz point number two

[1:10:50] on our strategic plan is the promote

[1:10:53] reinvestment in existing neighborhoods

[1:10:55] right by addressing dilapidated vacant

[1:10:57] or underutilized properties. Um, I will

[1:10:59] say that our code enforcement team has

[1:11:02] been working really, really hard and

[1:11:03] they've utilized a lot of Brisc's time

[1:11:05] as well in terms of looking at

[1:11:08] identifying, notifying and working on

[1:11:11] getting rid of dilapidated structures in

[1:11:13] Perry. I think last year we t tore down

[1:11:16] nine uh either through our efforts or us

[1:11:20] saying, "Hey, if you don't tear it down,

[1:11:21] we will." And so they and did it, which

[1:11:23] was the ideal situation, you know. Um,

[1:11:27] and so far this year, we've already

[1:11:29] declared another six dilapidated and

[1:11:31] we're in the process of of tearing those

[1:11:34] down. Now, in terms of you have to give

[1:11:36] them a certain amount of time and things

[1:11:38] like that.

[1:11:39] >> So, so to ask or go back, you said the

[1:11:42] ideal situation is that they tear that

[1:11:44] house down, right? The the people that

[1:11:46] own it.

[1:11:47] >> Yeah.

[1:11:47] >> So, is that ideal because now you've got

[1:11:50] an empty lot that they're I mean, they

[1:11:51] already weren't taking care of a house.

[1:11:54] Now we have an empty lot that um I've

[1:11:56] seen some that they've torn down that

[1:11:59] the Johnson grass is now five six foot

[1:12:01] tall.

[1:12:02] >> Yeah.

[1:12:03] It's I mean it's I see what you're

[1:12:04] saying. It's ideally you'd have

[1:12:07] responsible people own every property

[1:12:09] and take care of every property in the

[1:12:11] city, right? Um, I think that maybe what

[1:12:14] you're getting at, Scott, is what we've

[1:12:16] talked about before of us taking

[1:12:17] ownership of it and and giving it to

[1:12:20] someone who's actually going to build

[1:12:21] something nice and

[1:12:23] >> Yeah. And I would consider that also

[1:12:26] probably equally ideal. Um, the only

[1:12:29] downside to it is then we have more

[1:12:31] property to take care of, which we're

[1:12:33] already having a hard time getting rid

[1:12:34] of what we have, but

[1:12:38] >> and we've got more cost into it at that

[1:12:39] point as well. and and I understand

[1:12:42] that, but I you know on once the house

[1:12:44] gets torn down

[1:12:47] and that's just some of the ones that

[1:12:49] I've seen torn down and and I'm not

[1:12:51] going to say where they're at cuz

[1:12:52] everybody don't know but

[1:12:53] >> but the you go by and the Johnson grass

[1:12:56] is just

[1:12:57] >> when the grass tall anyways they're not

[1:12:59] taken care of anyway.

[1:13:01] >> Yeah, it just doesn't have a house now.

[1:13:05] >> But yeah, you're totally right. And I

[1:13:07] can think of two just off the top of my

[1:13:08] head that have been torn down. two of

[1:13:10] those nine that were torn down that yeah

[1:13:12] the grass is extremely high right now

[1:13:14] >> you know so from one issue to another I

[1:13:17] think probably increment but progress

[1:13:19] but not perfection right

[1:13:27] » that's all I have I don't have anything

[1:13:29] else to discuss on housing it but I'll

[1:13:31] give the opportunity to you guys if you

[1:13:32] have anything you want to discuss in

[1:13:34] terms of strategic plan housing goals or

[1:13:36] projects that we're

[1:13:39] I've said this before and and I've had a

[1:13:41] couple of conversations with someone on

[1:13:44] your staff kind of talking about

[1:13:46] different things. The apartments that's

[1:13:48] I I really feel like we really need to

[1:13:51] push on trying to get apartments here in

[1:13:53] town. I think that would help with a lot

[1:13:55] of the situations that we've talked

[1:13:56] about in the past as far as the the

[1:13:59] rental market and and the kind of the

[1:14:01] rates that those are at now. And that's

[1:14:03] because of inventory. I mean I mean

[1:14:08] if if you own a rent house and and

[1:14:10] people are begging to come in I mean you

[1:14:12] can kind of name your price and what I

[1:14:14] mean and quality

[1:14:16] >> right I mean so I I think apartments is something that we really really need to put some focus in and try

[1:14:26] to come up with the solution on who we

[1:14:28] can get in here to build them and and

[1:14:29] where can we build them.

[1:14:31] We need it all, but that's probably the

[1:14:33] hardest to get somebody here. So, we

[1:14:35] need some focus there, right?

[1:14:36] >> Mhm.

[1:14:38] >> Yeah, totally.

[1:14:39] >> I think that would that would solve some

[1:14:42] of our housing issues on two fronts. One

[1:14:44] is the rental and one is just

[1:14:46] availability to to be able to get people

[1:14:48] to live here.

[1:14:49] >> Um,

[1:14:51] >> well, the really nice apartment comp I

[1:14:54] think is that's just something we we

[1:14:56] don't have. I mean, there's apartments

[1:14:58] here, but not

[1:15:00] >> Yeah. And there's a lot of apartments

[1:15:02] getting developed, town homes getting

[1:15:03] developed down in the city.

[1:15:05] >> Mhm.

[1:15:05] >> I mean, they're popping up everywhere

[1:15:06] down there.

[1:15:07] >> Mhm.

[1:15:07] >> Yeah. To that point, I think the market

[1:15:09] is asking for those right now because

[1:15:10] rates are so high, people aren't looking

[1:15:12] at buying or they can't afford to buy.

[1:15:14] And so, they're like, well, we'll rent

[1:15:16] until something shifts, you know,

[1:15:18] >> and it's so being in that market. So we just did a study the other day or

[1:15:26] I don't know what you call a study and

[1:15:28] we watch video and it's talks about the industry and the and the market and

[1:15:32] all that stuff. And then 19 what was it

[1:15:35] 1991

[1:15:36] somewhere in that neighborhood the

[1:15:39] average first-time home buyer was 21

[1:15:41] years old. In 2026 the average firsttime

[1:15:44] home buyer is 41 years old.

[1:15:49] So

[1:15:51] kids aren't buying their their goal

[1:15:53] isn't to get out of college, get a job

[1:15:55] and buy a house.

[1:15:56] >> Their goal is to get out of college, get

[1:15:58] a job, and rent a something.

[1:16:01] >> So

[1:16:01] >> well, too, you don't have to take care

[1:16:03] of the rest.

[1:16:04] >> And they don't want to do that.

[1:16:06] >> They don't. My son's one of them.

[1:16:11] » I mean, there's ones that are 45 that

[1:16:13] don't want to do that, but that's

[1:16:15] another So, right.

[1:16:18] But

[1:16:19] >> it's just it's weird where I mean and that's something that we've been

[1:16:22] talking about for a long [clears throat]

[1:16:23] time is that kids nowadays they don't

[1:16:25] want to buy they want to rent

[1:16:26] >> and they don't I think that's just the

[1:16:28] generation they don't want things they

[1:16:29] don't want to be tied down

[1:16:30] >> right

[1:16:33] >> because people don't stay in the same

[1:16:35] job

[1:16:36] >> the same job anymore.

[1:16:37] >> Yeah. Used to you stayed at a job they

[1:16:39] had a retirement program and you stayed

[1:16:40] there for the retirement. Now you have a

[1:16:42] 401k that

[1:16:44] >> you just throw it in your briefcase and

[1:16:45] go take it to your next job.

[1:16:47] >> Yeah.

[1:16:51] » Dang, I feel old. [laughter]

[1:16:56] » Is there any [clears throat]

[1:16:58] development in the old elementary school

[1:17:01] property? No.

[1:17:03] >> Is it still under the same owner? Great

[1:17:05] push for an improvement.

[1:17:06] >> It is. We um we should probably follow

[1:17:08] up on that. we uh contract a breach of

[1:17:11] contract with that. [clears throat]

[1:17:13] >> Um I mean there's not really a whole lot

[1:17:15] we can do besides just finish that

[1:17:17] process, but ultimately I think they

[1:17:19] know they're not getting incentives at

[1:17:21] this point unless they revisit, [snorts]

[1:17:23] you know, something with with us and we

[1:17:26] have some real consequences tied to it.

[1:17:28] >> The last conversation I had with him, he

[1:17:30] wants to do something. He just

[1:17:33] he's still planning on but you know

[1:17:36] maybe it's bring him up here by himself

[1:17:41] not with this the other person that's

[1:17:43] been with him and just see what we can

[1:17:46] get done with him.

[1:17:49] >> Yeah, maybe we could try that.

[1:17:51] >> I'll be glad to help that anyway I

[1:17:53] can't. This was it second street with

[1:17:57] the multiple homes in the small area. Is

[1:18:02] that second street?

[1:18:03] >> You're talking down on Delaware.

[1:18:05] >> Delaware. Delaware. Yeah.

[1:18:06] >> The pud.

[1:18:08] >> Anything? Yeah. [clears throat]

[1:18:09] Anything? Are they starting?

[1:18:11] >> No, we've uh we've followed up with them

[1:18:13] a few times since that putt has been

[1:18:14] created and no traction yet.

[1:18:17] >> They do have quite a bit of time. I

[1:18:19] think what's our putt ordinance say? 36

[1:18:22] months or

[1:18:24] So they have quite a while to to act on

[1:18:26] it, but

[1:18:28] that's

[1:18:30] >> So once we approve a putt, they have 36

[1:18:32] months to do anything.

[1:18:33] >> Well, it's still a putt. And that that's

[1:18:36] just the nature of putts because they

[1:18:37] normally take so long to to actually

[1:18:40] develop, but in this case, we probably

[1:18:42] should have it down faster.

[1:18:44] >> And when you're talking about hundreds

[1:18:46] of apartments or things like that, it's

[1:18:48] like, okay, that makes sense. But when

[1:18:50] you're talking about

[1:18:52] >> 12 homes

[1:18:53] >> Yeah. 12

[1:18:54] >> small homes, you know, we probably

[1:18:55] should have ten [music] something.

[1:18:58] >> Sorry.

[1:19:00] >> Good. We We said that one might be a

[1:19:03] lesson for us. So, we'll we'll just keep

[1:19:06] >> that

[1:19:07] >> marking those lessons down.

[1:19:14] » All right. Any other questions on

[1:19:16] housing?

[1:19:20] All right. Thanks, Nate.

[1:19:22] >> Absolutely.

[1:57:02] >> They gave me power to negotiate it. I

[1:57:04] don't I I don't need their approval.

[1:57:05] Okay.

[1:57:26] items. Uh I don't know that we have

[1:57:28] anything substantial to talk about but

[1:57:30] I'm sure stuff will come up between now

[1:57:32] and then. the PUD ordinance amendments.

[1:57:36] Well, there will be a planning

[1:57:38] commission meeting at uh at uh 5:15

[1:57:42] and uh and so those amendments uh which

[1:57:46] will uh well, we'll explain it that

[1:57:49] time, but it it allows uh more variance

[1:57:52] and uh more of what we're talk what we

[1:57:56] talked ended up talking about today,

[1:57:58] time periods and more conditions and the

[1:58:01] like will be able to be added uh to the

[1:58:04] individual PUD ordinance. uh when an

[1:58:07] when a putt is approved. So, I I think

[1:58:10] you'll like it because it ties into some

[1:58:13] of what has been said.

[1:58:20] All right. Anything else to add on for

[1:58:23] next meeting?

[1:58:25] >> Nope. Like I said, I'm sure stuff will
