62
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:58,080

70
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,199
So, let's go to discussion or
announcements from the council.

71
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:41,039
I have on August 8th, the Presist
Education Association will be doing

Saturday.

75
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:59,919
We have these are we have the back to

So we're on to on Tuesdays and bring the

00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:44,479
Then

00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:18,720
» Which Who owns that property?
>> Who owns that property?

89
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,720
» That's a lot of question. Not really
sure.

90
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:33,839
» Oh, is that the Maxine? Yeah, we are
working on that. We've uh been in touch

91
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:38,640
with the state's lawyer. Uh they say now
that they're going to sign the release

92
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:43,519
to um
allow the city to tear it all down.

93
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:47,360
We're waiting on the guy who's all has
all the junk. He started cleaning it up.

94
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,200
We're trying to get him to get the rest
of it and then uh hopefully they're a

95
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:56,560
good sign and everything so the city can
tear it down.

96
00:08:52,240 --> 00:09:00,800
» Okay. Next door in burn down. There's
three three structures to tear down.

97
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,080

Thomas day what it was on. Thank y'all

106
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,800
so much.
>> That was a good day.

107
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:43,800
» It was

108
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,240
» It was hot.

109
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:55,600

the uh widow and widow's lunchon is
August 19th, 12:00 at the police

111
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:05,360
department. And we've had a lot of
people here in our community that have

112
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:10,240
lost, you know, their spouses and we
want to want them to come out and and

113
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,040
let us show them some love. Okay? You
don't even want to bring them.

114
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,680
» That's on Wednesday, August 19th.

115
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,240
» Thank you. Could

116
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:38,920
you kind of give a explanation about the
grant that we received last Monday? I

117
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:38,920
» Oh, yeah. We went to Little Rock

118
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:48,240
with the governor brought home right at
$500,000.

119
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:55,360
uh the committee that did the calling to
the 64 homes that are involved. They

120
00:10:51,279 --> 00:11:03,040
went with us and got in the picture. U
64 homes on the Wildcat Road in the new

121
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:07,680
town area. A lot of them have sewer
backups and this is going to stop all

122
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:12,880
that.
So they've [clears throat] been waiting

123
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:19,040
several years as we prioritize the
grants and now it's their turn. So

124
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:22,160
that's going to be big.
Glad this one is really going to take

125
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,399
place.
>> That's why money going to go to the

126
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:29,399
grand.
>> Yes.

127
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:29,399
499,000

128
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:34,680
brother.

129
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:45,040
I don't know. I think we probably need
to be prepared as a city. Uh they there

130
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:51,360
I've never known a project to come in on
the budget or on budget. So I think we

131
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:56,000
need to think about
we probably going to have to put

132
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:58,079
something to make sure the project is
completed.

133
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:05,600
» That happens a lot.
>> Yeah. So we need to think about that.

134
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:13,360
But $500,000 is a rock toward that. One
of the worst needs in the town. People

135
00:12:08,959 --> 00:12:18,040
sew back up in the shower.
We get that fixed. We'll be good.

136
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:28,720
» Anybody get anything else?
>> I I have one other thing to mention.

137
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:37,040
You know, we had process with the
drainage. So on that third,

138
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:42,320
fourth, you know, we had that big rain
and you know, sometime I I think we we

139
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:48,160
we don't realize that you can have a
flash flood and and you you can have a

140
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:54,639
nice drainage situation, but a flash
flood going to eliminate your your your

141
00:12:51,360 --> 00:13:00,000
ditch problems. So I I want to make sure
people understand that the ditch is

142
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:05,839
normal rain, it takes care of the
problem, but we have so much water if

143
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:11,360
the ditches was overflowing.
And I ain't never seen them do that

144
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:18,240
before. I mean from the far down water
cross the road. I mean Yeah. But that

145
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:23,200
was a classic. I mean you can't I mean
you can't get around cuz you don't know

146
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:29,040
when it's going to be. You can't. So I I
just think our citizens need to realize

147
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:33,440
that the drainage is working, but if you
have a flash flood,

148
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:37,760
you're not going to be able to hold all
that water.

149
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:42,720
I just want to make sure that that's
understood. Well, that not that's not

150
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:45,720
just a pressing problem, but just
obvious

151
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,154
really really [clears throat]

152
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,240
» Yeah, that's a good point because you
can turn on the TV and there's cities

153
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:08,720
with lots and lots of money and lots and
lots of good drainage. When that flash

154
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:13,800
flood comes, the flooding they just
can't handle

155
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,800
» too much at one time.

156
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:23,040
» Okay. Anybody anything else?
>> Are we under?

157
00:14:20,959 --> 00:14:29,199
» Not that I've heard. the county judge
has said, but I haven't heard.

158
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:34,839
» It's been so hot,
you know, and I've been noticing the

159
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,839
fire having

160
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,279
the fire.

161
00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:55,839
