[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]

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

[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.

[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.

[1:56:59] FOP contract?
[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.
[1:57:05] >> They've already done it.

[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
