[1:11]
I
[1:15]
have a video for us to watch for that, it's about eight minutes long, so everybody enjoy!
[1:39]
So, what is the Open and Public Meetings Act?
[1:41]
It's the state law that ensures government actions and deliberations are openly negative.
[1:46]
Before we continue to keep in mind that this video is an overview of exceptions based on your enemy types.
[1:52]
We focus on local government, not state environments.
[1:55]
When in doubt, read the law and consult with your legal counsel.
[1:59]
So, what's considered an Open and Public Meetings?
[2:02]
It's one of public body corn, also known as a simple majority.
[2:05]
It needs to discuss or act upon government business.
[2:08]
It includes the meetings sometimes referred to as workshops or executive sessions.
[2:13]
Regular meetings, public hearings, electronic meetings, and emergency meetings are all open and public meetings.
[2:20]
Open and public meetings don't include chance for social meetings.
[2:24]
Public hearing is a type of open and public meeting where citizens have a reasonable opportunity to speak.
[2:29]
Public hearings happen when a government adopts a budget and poses or increases taxes or fees or transfers money from an enterprise fund.
[2:37]
These meetings have extra notice in posting requirements and won't be addressed in this
[2:41]
video.
[2:42]
An electronic meeting is a type of open and public meeting that can be electronically,
[2:46]
such as via phone or the internet.
[2:49]
Remember, the governing body must adopt a resolution rule or ordinance allowing and governing
[2:53]
electronic meetings to have additional requirements too.
[2:57]
An emergency meeting may be held to discuss an urgent matter due to unforeseen circumstances.
[3:02]
is in order to hold the meeting. The best notice that's feasible is provided
[3:06]
at the time location and topics to be considered and attempt is made to contact
[3:10]
all governing body members and the governing body maturity approves the
[3:15]
meeting and open a public meeting to be closed to discuss any of the
[3:19]
following. A person's character, competence, or health,
[3:22]
collective bargaining, litigation, certain real property transactions,
[3:27]
including any form of a water right or water shares with specific
[3:31]
restrictions, security personnel, devices or systems deployment, investigations of criminal
[3:37]
misconduct, and private or protected information for the Utah procurement code, including
[3:43]
trade secrets. A closed meeting may be held only if a quorum is present and the meeting was
[3:49]
properly noticed. Two-thirds of the governing body and present at the meeting need to vote yes
[3:54]
to close a meeting. Quick math lesson, 2 divided by 3 equals 66.7%. Let's say your governing
[4:02]
body has five members present at the meeting. If three out of five members vote yes, that
[4:07]
equals 60%, which is not equal or greater than 66.7%, which means you're one member short,
[4:15]
and would need four out of five members to vote yes. My first meeting, a governing body can't
[4:21]
interview someone in line to fill an elected position, discuss filling a midterm vacancy or temporary absence,
[4:28]
discuss the character, competence or health of the person whose name was submitted for consideration to fill a midterm vacancy with temporary absence,
[4:37]
group any ordinance resolution, rule, regulation, contract or appointment, or take a vote,
[4:43]
unless it's a vote on a motion to end the closed portion of the meeting and return to an open meeting.
[4:49]
When a governing body closes a meeting, the following must be publicly announced and entered
[4:53]
into the minutes of the open meeting of which the closed meeting was approved.
[4:57]
The reason or reasons for holding the closed meeting, the location where the closed meeting
[5:01]
will be held, and the vote of each member of the governing body either for or against
[5:06]
the motion to close the meeting.
[5:09]
If a closed meeting is discussing a person's character, competence, or health, or security
[5:14]
personal devices or systems deployment or several other exceptions, mostly related to
[5:20]
state bodies or the project entities, no recording or minutes are required.
[5:24]
However, the presiding member needs to sign a sworn written statement, state and such.
[5:29]
If the closed meeting is held for any other reason, the recording must be made, which includes
[5:34]
date, time and place of the meeting, names of members present and absent, and names of all
[5:40]
All others except where disclosure would infringe on the confidentiality necessary to fill
[5:45]
the original purpose of closing the meeting.
[5:48]
Regular open of public meetings require 24 hours notice.
[5:53]
The public notice includes the meeting agenda date, time, and place.
[5:58]
Public meeting agendas need to include these little blue specified topics to be considered
[6:03]
with each topic listed under a separate agenda item for the meeting agenda.
[6:07]
the governing body may not consider a topic in an open meeting.
[6:11]
I wasn't on the agenda if the new topic, not on the agenda, is raised by the public during an open meeting.
[6:17]
The governing body may discuss the topic.
[6:20]
However, final action may not be taken on the new topic during that meeting.
[6:25]
Additionally, and it is holding regular meeting scheduled in advance over the course of the year,
[6:30]
need to provide annual notice of the entire year's meeting scheduled.
[6:34]
The notice must include date, time, and place for each meeting.
[6:39]
Notice is posted on the Public Body's website in a public location, such as the location where the meeting will be held.
[6:46]
And on Utah's Public Notice website in accordance with Utah Code 63G-30-102.
[6:53]
Typically, posting on the Public Notice website is done by the records officer, recorder, or clerk.
[6:58]
However, it's the governing body's responsibility to ensure notice is provided.
[7:04]
State archives has prepared a training manual and a quick guide for owners and posters
[7:08]
as well as training videos that can be accessed at their website, archives.eq.gov.
[7:14]
Written minutes and the recording are kept of all open meetings with due exceptions.
[7:19]
Written minutes include the date and time and the place of the meeting, the names of members
[7:24]
members present in absent, the substance of all matters,
[7:27]
names of citizens providing comments,
[7:29]

[7:31]
any information a body member requires to be entered
[7:34]
into the minutes or recording,
[7:36]
and a record by the individual member of each vote taken.
[7:40]
A body with elected members must record each vote.
[7:43]
It lists format by category for each action they can
[7:46]
buy a number, including s-votes, no votes,
[7:49]
and absent members next to each member's name.
[7:52]
A recording must be a complete and unedited record of all open portions of the meeting from
[7:58]
beginning to end and be labeled with the meeting date, time and place.
[8:03]
All or any part of an open meeting may be independently recorded by any person in attendance
[8:08]
if the recording does not interfere with the conduct of the meeting.
[8:12]
Heavy minutes means written minutes of an open meeting and draft a subject to change before
[8:17]
or being approved by the public body of the public meeting.
[8:21]
Ending minutes must contain a clear indication,
[8:23]
such as a draft and watermark,
[8:26]
that the government body hasn't yet approved the minutes,
[8:28]
and that the minutes are subject to change
[8:30]
until the public body approves it.
[8:32]
Approved minutes gains written minutes
[8:34]
of an open meeting approved by the public body
[8:36]
that held the open meeting.
[8:38]
Entities must establish an implement procedures
[8:40]
for the public body's approval of the written minutes.
[8:43]
Public meeting pending minutes, approved minutes,
[8:46]
and reporting some public records underground.
[8:49]
Any individual publicly presents information relating
[8:52]
to an item of public bodies when they can't
[8:54]
that us provide a copy of the information
[8:57]
for inclusion.
[8:59]
Make pending minutes available to the public within 30 days.
[9:03]
Within three business days, after a few minutes of an open
[9:06]
meeting, make approved minutes and any public materials
[9:09]
available at the Utah Public Notice website,
[9:13]
the entity's primary office, and the entity's
[9:16]
website. In three business days after holding out the meeting make an audio recording of
[9:21]
the meeting available. I have
[9:31]
a one thirty four. I make less money than friends who fairly
[9:35]
pass high school. Good for you.
[9:41]
Okay. That's it. That's it. He's a good attorney. I just have two
[9:51]
comments on that. Why is the lock a key but the clothes is a freezer. I bother me the
[9:59]
whole time. Are we putting a body in there or what's the symbolism. And it showed
[10:07]
somebody absent from the meeting. It's like a hospital bed. We have to be there.
[10:20]
I thought
[10:21]
Any other comments?
[10:24]
Seeing none of what I have number two to do.
[10:27]
I approve of a quarter one through the Metropolitan Water District Financial.
[10:34]
I can't comment.
[10:36]
Not too much there.
[10:39]
So, gave me the first quarter and the second quarter.
[10:42]
So, we had some cash in the water.
[10:46]
And then we purchased some shares.
[10:51]
So our biggest cash in the world is we've had quite a few, all of our apartments, I was
[11:01]
200, really 39,000. That was a pretty good one. Other than that,
[11:13]
we've done some acquisitions
[11:16]
in about 110, so not tons, but I think we're going to talk about that. So we've just had
[11:23]
to chair for just oh did that's not on here probably because it's a
[11:27]
December yeah okay yeah so we'll come out there of which PGIC you
[11:38]
know if any
[11:39]
trans meal the only trend I've noticed is that there are other entities who've
[11:47]
now started buying PGIC shares that by gentlemen's agreement did not buy
[11:55]
until now. And so there's other people willing to purchase those.
[12:05]
It's only one.
[12:08]
Yeah, one entity. Yeah, that's a pretty big entity.
[12:17]
With deep pockets. So,
[12:23]
well, I would set forth most of that. We approved the quarterly financial statements.
[12:29]
motion by behind the approval of the courty.
[12:32]
All seconded. Seconded by President DeSkashman.
[12:40]
Seeing that, I was in favor of the AI.
[12:43]
What?
[12:44]
Pleasant fellows.
[12:47]
Any abstentions?
[12:49]
Paul, do you want to vote on for the record?
[12:51]
Yeah, I'm good.
[12:52]
I was going to say aye.
[12:53]
I was just going to thank you.
[12:56]
Thank you, Paul.
[12:58]
Motion carries unanimously.
[13:00]
I remember I did land that roll call, not all the roll is 20, you know.
[13:05]
I know that one is not going to be to make it a roll call.
[13:09]
But I know number three with you on approval in the minutes.
[13:12]
November 12, 2025 meeting.
[13:20]
We're distributed prior to our meeting.
[13:22]
Yeah, I repeat you, I might have seen it.
[13:24]
I didn't have any correct answers.
[13:27]
So I'm going to hit an outstanding job in a lot of detail.
[13:31]
So I may recommend that we approve the match in November 12th, this is going to be my meeting.
[13:36]
I'm motioned by Marty to approve the match.
[13:38]
It's presented.
[13:39]
I'll second by Brian.
[13:43]
Further discussion.
[13:45]
Seeing those in favor say aye.
[13:48]
Aye.
[13:49]
Those opposed.
[13:50]
Aye.
[13:51]
I've got the record scope all over the ass.
[13:55]
Any abstentions?
[13:56]
No.
[13:58]
Motion carries unanimously.
[13:59]
So I put it item number four, acquisition of North Union staff for advanced water shares.
[14:07]
That's money to put that on the agenda, because of the disillusionment of North Union water company.
[14:16]
Those shares we held, North Union President Grove held 28.74 shares.
[14:24]
and a pump water board held 54.8 to 2.4 share total of 83.56 to 4 shares.
[14:37]
Pleasantville Irrigation Company held 200 shares with North Union.
[14:42]
Here can you give me those numbers again the first one you said there?
[14:46]
PG.
[14:47]
Yeah.
[14:48]
28.74
[14:50]
to FPG City, Metropolitan Water Board, Pleasant Grove, 54.2.
[15:00]
And eight, two, two, four,
[15:04]
for a total of eight, three point, five, six, two, four. I go too fast. I'm warning.
[15:12]
And pleasant
[15:13]
growth irrigation company held 200 shares of North Union water. Now we're all those shares, North
[15:20]
Union. Yeah, for all of us. They're not. They're not probably. Now was the disillusionment of the North
[15:27]
Union. The actual water ride is nearly so aptly made aware of. I just saw we had water certificate.
[15:38]
It's hidden North Union on it. I wasn't growing the discussion was over. I'm out of this.
[15:45]
I asked the translators and the approval ban for our shares. So they're in the process of doing
[15:51]
I wanted to have the joint meeting for the Provo Mansion, North Union, Water Board,
[16:00]
February, February 9th of 2026, kind of hash out things and work through things.
[16:08]
Of course, I have a good friend of the board member here, it's kind of spearheading things
[16:17]
with that.
[16:17]
That's when I was being transferred over Brian.
[16:22]
There's been a number of meetings.
[16:25]
There's an expert on everyone.
[16:28]
So we congratulate you, Brian.
[16:31]
Thank you very much.
[16:32]
I don't know if condolences.
[16:33]
Yeah, I might be both.
[16:35]
And that's just to follow what Marcus stated.
[16:38]
That's all true, accurate.
[16:40]
North Union is just on the record is.
[16:44]
It does not own any water rights in the cell if it only has shares in PGIC or P-Probo Bench.
[16:51]
Too many acronyms today.
[16:52]
Yes.
[16:53]
So, Probe Bench.
[16:53]
So, when they dissolve that company, the North Union shares then devolved into their Probe Bench components and both companies dissolved.
[17:02]
And so, though, each shareholder will be getting their individual water conveyed to them with some other Probe River.
[17:15]
So PGIC, Pleasant Grove City and BG Metro, they all have a certain amount of shares in North
[17:22]
Union.
[17:22]
That'll revert to a probable bench share.
[17:28]
So if everybody that owns anything in North Union will get an individual share of probable
[17:34]
bench.
[17:35]
Proble bench is dissolving, too.
[17:37]
Oh.
[17:37]
Yes, so that will translate to a natural flow and a storage flow.
[17:40]
Yep, and there's two components because they also own some
[17:45]
Probe river water user storage. So there's two water. I shall get a natural
[17:52]
natural flow and then a storage right and as part of that
[17:58]
the Probe river water users' association
[18:01]
Required whole numbers
[18:03]
So you either had to buy up to a whole number or sell down to a whole number
[18:10]
So that's probably what we're going to get to on the agenda is we're going to have a bill that's going to come do is we elected to buy up and the bill is is going to be.
[18:22]
It's not finalized 100% but around $45,000.
[18:28]
It's about their evaluation was $70,000 per event share was what the board, but you could
[18:38]
take your straight-out and go trade on the market where you can do it in part of this
[18:42]
internal marketplace.
[18:45]
When you say that is, which entity is?
[18:49]
Program Metro has to buy up, all three entities elected to buy up.
[18:54]
Okay, so the three enemies we're talking about is
[18:59]
EGIC, METRO and the city.
[19:01]
And you're saying that all of them together?
[19:04]
No, no.
[19:04]
Plus that over METRO is all the gauge.
[19:07]
It's 45.
[19:08]
It's like 45, 301, but that was a preliminary number.
[19:12]
And the final letters are going to be coming out in the next couple of weeks.
[19:17]
And then you'll have that and the EGIC will have that also, right?
[19:21]
Yes.
[19:25]
So
[19:28]
there are only 70,000 for a share, how are we giving more than one share, and you said
[19:34]
one share is 70,000.
[19:37]
So how do you buy up more than 70,000?
[19:39]
You're rounding up to an equivalent share in the Provo River Water Users Association.
[19:46]
Yeah.
[19:47]
So that equates to a decimal of a Provo Vent share.
[19:52]
Yes, that's exactly right, yeah, it took a lot of the figure all this out and then the
[20:01]
Crayon and then it was done with enough people willing to sell down and enough people
[20:11]
to sell up to miraculously kind of worked out.
[20:16]
Yeah, what they did was they just went through the share of the biggest shareholders that
[20:20]
elected first, the parent and their decision, they went to the next one and then the numbers
[20:26]
worked out real close because I was fretting that for a while because I thought there
[20:29]
would be a whole bunch of them but it all, okay, most people decided to elect us, so yeah.
[20:35]
And so you went to your whatever was remaining, you could buy up to that percentage of what
[20:39]
was left and then the small ones elected, they wanted to let go of some, that's all you've
[20:50]
not allow fractionalization of their sugars.
[20:56]
That's one reason I want to put on the agenda, because we've got an expanse coming up.
[21:01]
It doesn't grow variegation is ready to pay their tank needle over being a part of this.
[21:07]
You have a good advice, it'd be better to pay out.
[21:11]
It's one time opportunity, and especially the storage component is, this is the first
[21:18]
times that ever happened. So there wasn't other opportunities of feeling you know letting go that
[21:27]
would be could have maybe purchased more or that just didn't have. There were four shares
[21:33]
that went to the open market. The largest shareholders were able to acquire those and PGIC was
[21:42]
actually third and we got one of them. There was, but the worm got two and then got two
[21:48]
and we got one in PGIC. Good. And the antennae along from the canal come was they wanted
[21:55]
to keep the water local to the best way that they could. Great. The other reason I put
[22:02]
on the agenda is that those water shares that we've had in North Union served the South
[22:10]
part of Pleasant Grove with the abolishment of Northean and the city clean
[22:16]
airs in the Pearl River now or the pipe I should say going in the Alpine mostly
[22:23]
it's going to be all right so Metro Shares probably stayed in the cities yes you
[22:32]
usage. I don't know if they ever wind up using meal. Oh, for sure. The city. City used
[22:41]
every drop from the natural flow and storage. Yeah, they already had a defined allocation
[22:50]
in the PRA. Yeah. Anyway, the PGIC's 200 shares. We put it all down. We call it the cards
[23:01]
We're just happy to try to get that down to the end of the role where the last one's on the service and we've been frustrated for a year trying to get any kind of consistent full.
[23:14]
And then when they got the bid, it was between $20 and $30 million.
[23:18]
dollars, five-take gardener gifts. So that's just how our possibilities, it's
[23:26]
going to end in somehow they didn't have any caring rights in the Pro-Kanal and
[23:34]
how they've regarded.
[23:38]
I could go along detail but they were they they did their
[23:41]
own acquisition of capacity in the canal. So they get perpetual capacity.
[23:49]
They have
[23:49]
about 10 CFS. They need a little more for the old one, but they've got the majority of them.
[23:56]
So they spend about a couple million dollars to retrofit things, so they can service
[24:02]
their secondary water system. I left us with 200 shares, transferred over to this
[24:09]
promo bench, and my concern is the key to those water rights here in Pleasant Grove. So
[24:19]
since we just used it on the south part of Pleasant Grove and we aren't servicing them anymore.
[24:25]
It said you're on secondary water. We can't get you. Any water. I want to see
[24:31]
it. Pleasant Grove gets to keep those water rights since Pleasant Grove City
[24:37]
Slash Metro owns about or controls about 71 percent of PGIC. It seems to me like
[24:47]
I guess it would be a good time maybe to transfer what we're doing, these transfer it over
[24:53]
in the pleasant growth name and then make an arrangement to have PGA or PGA Metro, it's
[25:05]
everybody they want to do it now, make a contract to purchase the rest of those shares, so they're
[25:11]
all kept in pleasant growth, technically we don't have any need for them.
[25:16]
So you want to basically take the ownership from PGIC to the Metro?
[25:23]
Yeah, that's my sense.
[25:25]
So we keep the water rights here.
[25:28]
Are we talking so currently pleasant growth city only 71% approximately of PGIC?
[25:35]
Not only. We own or rent.
[25:38]
We own or rent.
[25:40]
We're above 50 on the ownership and then balance is renting.
[25:45]
okay so what would that in and I guess in overall will is the city in
[25:52]
favor of trying to acquire those shares that are not currently owned yet we're
[26:00]
buying everything that comes across our desk we take this cashing low and it's
[26:06]
actually Metro that's buying the share and so we're buying everything we can
[26:11]
and every well-in-seller.
[26:16]
Yeah, that's kind of an interesting transaction I have thought through.
[26:20]
So is that by your ownership in the shares already,
[26:23]
do you already own 70% of those shares?
[26:26]
We do, right?
[26:28]
Well, they vote on 70% they own 56%.
[26:32]
And whatever percentage is I'm saying,
[26:34]
of those normal union shares.
[26:36]
Right now.
[26:37]
So in that transaction I assume those portions are already granted.
[26:40]
So yeah, that's what I was saying. Yeah, but the automatically come the rest are what gonna be discussed, right?
[26:46]
Okay, yeah, that's that seems cleaner that way to just get the balance
[26:51]
and get a
[26:54]
Probably wait. What do you think and get the water right and then just transfer that water right direct?
[26:59]
I think we're too late to have it happen with this. That's something that's got to go. That's a
[27:06]
two-way till it's in with them and then it would have been nice, but
[27:10]
There are also some complexities, I mean, we're mixing entities here, but PGIC has commitments to deliver water through the PRA to shareholders and that's the only water that can get to them.
[27:25]
So we need to probably vet that a little bit. That's what I was going to ask.
[27:29]
Just as the PGIC has a certain percentage in PG City, right, as I understand the PRA.
[27:36]
Well you have, yeah, you have the PGIC water that was North Union, has always conveyed
[27:45]
both in the PRA and in the Gardner ditch, Gardner ditch is gone.
[27:50]
But there are PGIC shareholders who still get water through the PRA that we can't, I don't
[27:59]
I don't know that we could just get rid of all the PRA water and then what would the
[28:03]
users do because that's used as supplement in the later season as well.
[28:11]
Okay.
[28:11]
And depending on this though, that PZIC already has 1100 shares in the PRA of storage, but
[28:20]
the city already owns the 70% of that too.
[28:24]
Sure.
[28:25]
So that's only 330 acre feet,
[28:30]
and
[28:33]
that you probably, I don't want to speak for the
[28:38]
wrong entity.
[28:39]
So you probably need to look at how that physically, yeah, the past he was, yeah, worked.
[28:44]
We need to run some numbers this year with the commitments of delivery through the PRA that
[28:53]
Billy Joe is delivered because, in the past, PGIC has utilized the city storage to get
[29:04]
those late seasons to help out the company.
[29:08]
Certainly, I want to consider everything we need to.
[29:11]
Yeah.
[29:12]
My concern is, I just don't want to submit this opportunity because we've had some shareholders
[29:17]
We just say, look, this is where the whole lot of money
[29:20]
is shared, translated into probable bathroom.
[29:25]
I was just not seeing the value and not everything transferred
[29:29]
over though, considered.
[29:31]
Yeah, I think they say there's a temporary development for the
[29:35]
money because of the situation.
[29:37]
So we have some shareholders to say we don't care about Pleasant
[29:40]
Grove City.
[29:42]
Let's just get the most forward and put it on the open market.
[29:45]
guys with deep pockets right out check and buy all of it doesn't grow to be up
[29:52]
forever I don't want to see that happen I happen to know there let's
[30:00]
Class A rights and storage. What I think the metro board ought to do is make a motion to authorize the board president to work a deal with the city to acquire those shares through a purchase agreement.
[30:27]
And then once, once we are able to
[30:31]
Quantify what
[30:35]
is doable with what commitments have been made
[30:39]
Then we can finalize that
[30:42]
My position is president TGIC
[30:46]
Title care of contracts for a dollar a year from the next thousand years
[30:52]
100,000 years. I just want those photographs kept here. I want to be very good as a city
[30:58]
doesn't grow so it's
[31:00]
nieces perform miracles
[31:03]
Of course, because this completion is aware of the amount of American fork, I have to
[31:09]
cut smarty out.
[31:10]
He's the one that got the ball rolling with the piping of the mail ditch.
[31:16]
He just without the initial piping of the mail ditch, federal people with NRCS, some press,
[31:24]
engineer representing NRCS, so it was the best use, federal money she'd ever seen.
[31:31]
and I'd like to grab work for the future.
[31:34]
I mean, there are the water savings
[31:36]
when in terms of getting a different money.
[31:39]
The needs just perform miracles.
[31:42]
So we could press ahead with that $10 million
[31:44]
where plus this piping of the mail,
[31:49]
which section we just finished this year.
[31:52]
And so she's done, I don't know how she's done with that.
[31:56]
in hot water with the city administration, she's done it and so I want to work
[32:03]
in every way I can on the position I am so we don't lose this opportunity because
[32:10]
like I say I could just see people to say her madder pleasant girl for one reason
[32:15]
another just
[32:19]
say I don't care I want to put on the open market I want to
[32:23]
So let's get the bus.
[32:25]
I think comes almost $7.00 and let's put on the open market.
[32:30]
I wasn't broken figure out their own problem.
[32:34]
I don't want to see that go that way.
[32:36]
I think that there's definitely
[32:37]
an end just kind of endilling with it in the past.
[32:40]
And you're in a gut shareholder's of PGIC.
[32:44]
They're going to have to be taken into consideration
[32:45]
as far as how that's delivered.
[32:47]
They're going to be very interested and very vocal about that.
[32:50]
So I think, like Neil's saying, I think what your recommendation is, is that we make a motion that allows Mark to move forward as a president of the PG Metro to coordinate with the city on a purchase agreement and that through that analyzing that there's obviously some coordination of PGIC that needs to be had through that purchase agreement and the shareholders there.
[33:15]
at least we, you have the right to move forward
[33:18]
in trying to analyze and figure out the best way forward.
[33:22]
I would like to make that motion.
[33:23]
I think that's the right thing.
[33:25]
Now is the right time.
[33:26]
I agree with it.
[33:26]
I think it's the time that we try to get some things figured out
[33:29]
because it's the writings on the wall with that water
[33:33]
and we're gonna figure out how to best use it now,
[33:34]
but it's only available in the outpight of the BRA.
[33:37]
So, yeah, motion, do we have a second to that?
[33:41]
I'll second that.
[33:42]
Second by Nail for the discussion in the rest of your input online.
[33:49]
Well, that's why I didn't make the motion because of my unique situation.
[33:53]
But I think it's a great deal for Metro. How about you, Paul?
[33:58]
Shall we say interesting conversation to support it?
[34:04]
Denise, you have some comments from the financial standpoint.
[34:08]
Okay, a motion in the second, further discussion, seeing those in favor of the motion, say aye.
[34:17]
Aye.
[34:18]
Aye.
[34:19]
Those opposed?
[34:21]
Any abstentions?
[34:23]
Motion carries unanimously.
[34:26]
I'll proceed to have them or represent the city, which I think Marty, at least in my mind,
[34:33]
and he was working with Neil to public works director.
[34:37]
For sure.
[34:38]
Also a member of this.
[34:39]
Or whoever he assigns to do that analysis
[34:42]
and make recommendations,
[34:43]
or I think it got some very qualified people
[34:46]
to be able to do that review and work with Billy Joe
[34:49]
and try to figure things out.
[34:51]
Yeah, I'd be excellent.
[34:55]
I'll proceed ahead.
[34:56]
I'm sure we'll contact Tina to make sure everything's done
[35:00]
legally.
[35:03]
I was done. Okay, that concludes the items on the agenda. We have a motion
[35:12]
to adjourn. Isle move. A motion to adjourn by Brian. Do you want to second that, Paul?
[35:19]
I will second that one. I'm just pulling past the high school, so I was going to come
[35:25]
I wouldn't say hi in person, but I second it.
[35:28]
Thank you.
[35:29]
When did you ever come in?
[35:31]
I did want to recommend that we choose the next meetings
[35:34]
in May and June.
[35:36]
At those meetings, we will adopt a tentative budget.
[35:40]
And then at the meeting in June,
[35:41]
we would approve a final budget.
[35:43]
And that would require a public hearing notice.
[35:46]
OK, would you like to go for your calendar, Zan?
[35:59]
So they got to be, how many days apart again?
[36:02]
Don't have to be 30 days apart?
[36:06]
We always do this around, we work around strawberry days, the one strawberry days is the week of the 15th, isn't it?
[36:18]
We can do the tentative budget though, anytime.
[36:21]
Correct.
[36:22]
Yeah.
[36:23]
So should we try and get a little bit better?
[36:26]
Sure.
[36:32]
Yeah, we were within that date, so many of us really made.
[36:37]
Yeah, how about, how about we do, yeah, early May and then late June?
[36:41]
Yeah, okay.
[36:45]
First week of May is tough for me.
[36:47]
I'm going to say the 6th is not good, so the 13th works.
[36:52]
The 13th open for the 13th is not good.
[36:56]
I think we'll see the things budget on the 5th and 8th.
[37:01]
Unless it's 5.30 or 6th, I can pick it up.
[37:11]
I hope in April 29th as well,
[37:17]
for me.
[37:18]
Oh, yeah.
[37:19]
It's
[37:22]
20 minutes good for you, Mark.
[37:24]
For me?
[37:26]
I'll get out of 10 dogs that night.
[37:28]
Yeah, I'm okay.
[37:30]
So, yes.
[37:31]
Let's do it.
[37:32]
I'm not sure that's in the middle of this video.
[37:34]
Yeah, okay,
[37:38]
and then how about our June meeting?
[37:44]
June or late May.
[37:46]
