[10:44] Going to move down to the community
[10:45] building award for September 2026. Um we
[10:49] have the members of the city of Rollins
[10:50] volunteer.
[10:52] Um
[10:54] recognition and recruitment committee
[10:56] come up.
[10:58] >> Hello honorable mayor, vice mayor and
[11:00] councel. The community builder award is
[11:02] a monthly award the city presents to
[11:04] local individuals, businesses and
[11:06] organizations for their volunteer
[11:07] service, sponsorship, promotion of
[11:10] programs and events, outstanding service
[11:12] in the interest of the city or for other
[11:13] contributions significant to Rollins's
[11:15] quality of life. The volunteer committee
[11:17] would like to present the September 2026
[11:19] Community Builder Award to Lola Armyo.
[11:31] So, I'm going to say some words about
[11:32] Lola and then Lola is going to also
[11:34] address the council in the community.
[11:36] When Lola opened her business in Rollins
[11:38] less than 2 years ago, she knew it was
[11:40] never just a business opportunity. Lola
[11:42] knew that LA Looks and More is also a
[11:44] place where she can support the
[11:45] community in ways close to her heart.
[11:47] And that dream has come true. Lola hosts
[11:50] at least at least one community event at
[11:51] her shop every single month. These add
[11:54] an important component to our community.
[11:56] Activities for kids, families, and
[11:57] adults to do. Whether it is teaching
[11:59] kids how to wrap grass gifts at
[12:01] Christmas time, inviting the Easter
[12:03] bunny to meet the kids, or a free
[12:05] daddyaughter hair stying class, she is
[12:07] always looking for creative ways to make
[12:08] the community better, especially for the
[12:10] children. Lola also hosts story times
[12:13] and old school coloring contests
[12:15] allowing kids to express their
[12:16] creativity and create something to be
[12:17] proud of. She has hosted back to school
[12:19] events and mommy and me tea parties. She
[12:22] knows that these events can really
[12:23] engage our youth and change their
[12:25] perspective. She loves her memories of
[12:27] attending community events when she grew
[12:28] up here and is actively dedicating her
[12:31] time and money to making new memories
[12:32] for kids now. Lola is always very
[12:35] generous for those in need locally. She
[12:37] donates prizes and items to support
[12:38] local causes and has also organized many
[12:40] raffles to coordinate giving to local
[12:42] families. Lola is an inspiration to all
[12:45] of us. She shows that any person can be
[12:47] creative and find a way to make a
[12:48] difference to our community. She loves
[12:50] doing things for children because they
[12:52] are our future. Every smile she can make
[12:54] light up a child's face is worth it for
[12:56] her. Let us all learn from Lola and
[12:58] think about ways we can make our
[13:00] community better from everyone,
[13:01] including the smallest. Thank you, Lola.
[13:10] Receiving the Community Builder Award is
[13:12] truly an honor. It is something I am
[13:14] incredibly grateful for. Giving back and
[13:16] being there for people around me has
[13:17] always been something I genuinely love
[13:19] to do. I believe that even the smallest
[13:22] act of kindness, support, or simply
[13:23] bringing people together can make a
[13:25] difference in someone's life. I never do
[13:27] these things expecting recognition. I do
[13:30] them because I truly love seeing our
[13:31] community come together and watching
[13:33] people support one another. Opening my
[13:35] shop has given me an even bigger
[13:37] platform and more opportunities to do what I loved
[13:41] already, giving back. From hosting
[13:43] events and fundraisers to creating
[13:45] opportunities for families to have fun,
[13:48] supporting local causes, and helping
[13:49] bring people together, my business has
[13:52] allowed me to turn that passion into
[13:53] something even bigger. I'm so thankful
[13:55] that I get to be a part of this
[13:56] community, and this award means so much
[13:58] because it reminds me that the time,
[14:00] effort I put into making our community a
[14:03] better place truly matters. I hope to
[14:05] continue creating spaces where people
[14:07] feel welcome, families can make
[14:09] memories, childrens can dream, and our
[14:11] community can come together to support
[14:13] one another. I am incredibly grateful
[14:15] for my family for the daily support. And
[14:17] a big thank you to everyone who has
[14:19] supported our events, donated,
[14:21] volunteered, participated, and continued
[14:23] to show up for our community. Thank you
[14:25] again for this incredible honor.
[14:32] And Lola is donating her um $100
[14:35] donation in her name to Cove. So here's
[14:38] your oh your plaque.
[14:41] >> And then we'll do a picture. Do you want
[14:42] anybody to come and join you for the
[14:43] picture?
[14:44] >> Oh yeah, my family's here.
[14:45] >> Okay. [laughter]
[14:47] >> I got a big crowd in there.
[15:00] And then somebody can hold the check.
[15:02] >> Yeah.
[15:05] » How about the tall people in the back?
[15:07] >> Just saying.
[15:10] >> Okay. Excuse
[15:11] >> you.
[15:15] » Oh, I'm so so used to being this person.
[15:19] I don't actually.
[15:37] [music]
[15:47] Thank you.
[15:52] » Congratulations, Lola.
[15:56] » Um, I just wanted to say I, you know, I work some pretty crazy hours. And Lola
[16:02] is now a neighbor in our in our little
[16:05] area right there. And every night I
[16:08] leave, I'm not the latest person at 1:00
[16:11] in the morning, 2:00 in the morning
[16:13] anymore. So, I've uh I have competition
[16:16] now. But she's she's been an absolutely
[16:18] wonderful neighbor. The events she puts
[16:20] on, they are they are awesome and um
[16:24] it's it's great to see. You've done a
[16:26] lot in two years.
[16:28] >> Appreciate it.
[16:30] >> Thank you.
[16:36] [clears throat]
[16:39] » All right, we're going to move down to
[16:40] 7A reports for Discover Army County
[16:43] Visitors Council update.
[16:47] I can't beat the tongue yet if we
[16:52] was told you wanted to hear from me
[16:53] instead of from Leslie. [laughter]
[16:55] So, um, honorable vice chairman, vice
[16:59] mayor, and council members, um, first I
[17:02] want to say thank you so much for giving
[17:03] me this opportunity several years ago.
[17:05] Um, after my husband died, it's meant a
[17:08] lot to me to be a part of this community
[17:10] and I really appreciate it. I've learned
[17:12] so much from this. So who we are from
[17:15] discover carbon county is a carbon
[17:17] county visitors council formed in 1987
[17:19] by a joint powers agreement among the
[17:22] carbon county commissioners in the towns
[17:24] of bags elk mountain encampment Hannah
[17:27] Medicine Bow Rollins Riverside and
[17:29] Saratoga. Our mission is dedicated to
[17:32] promoting Carbon County as a diverse
[17:35] yearround destination offering quality
[17:37] activities and attractions. And our
[17:40] vision statement [music] is we will be
[17:42] leading a year-round destination known
[17:44] for extraordinary outdoor activities,
[17:47] scenic beauty, western history, and
[17:49] welcoming communities while its
[17:51] residents enjoy sustainable economic
[17:54] growth, high quality of life, [music]
[17:56] and robust community pride. The lodging
[17:59] tax is coming up on the voting and that
[18:01] is a 2% um vote. And the tax on
[18:05] overnight stays at motel, hotels,
[18:08] campgrounds, bed and breakfast, guest
[18:10] ranches, resorts, and other lodging in
[18:12] Carbon County. They're paid by visitors,
[18:15] not by residents unless they um
[18:17] [clears throat] do a local stay. It was
[18:20] first approved by Carbon County voters
[18:21] in a special election in February um
[18:24] 1987 and renewed by voters every four
[18:27] years um at each general election site.
[18:30] And the use of the funds is defined by
[18:32] the state law um WS391521
[18:36] and there's some other things behind
[18:37] that. Um so the um
[18:42] the economic impact in 2025 [music]
[18:45] um $239.2
[18:47] 2 million was spent by travelers in
[18:50] Carbon County. Um part of the 5 billion
[18:54] statewide um from the Wyoming Office of
[18:57] Tourism in April 2026.
[19:01] 15.5 million was generated in revenue
[19:03] for local governments. 1680 jobs were
[19:07] supported in Carbon County by travel
[19:10] spending and visitors spending um
[19:14] reaches lodging, dining, groceries,
[19:16] transportation, entertainment, and
[19:18] retail and easing pressure for higher
[19:20] local taxes and reduced services. Um
[19:25] over 227,000
[19:27] was returned directly to m to
[19:30] municipalities where the tax was
[19:32] collected last fiscal year and so far
[19:36] this year since July this fiscal year
[19:38] we've given to Rollins over 20 or close
[19:40] to $22,000.
[19:43] Um, we gave 41 grants totaling more than
[19:45] $147
[19:47] to local organizations through Discover
[19:49] Carvin County's advertising and
[19:51] marketing sponsorship and signage grant
[19:54] programs. And grant supported events
[19:56] span every corner of the county from
[19:58] county fairs, museums, historical
[20:01] societies, search and rescue, music
[20:03] series, holiday festivals, sporting
[20:06] tournament tournaments, [music]
[20:07] and more. Um, we gave 41 organizations
[20:10] funding this last year.
[20:13] Um, the lodging tax is growing. It's
[20:15] increased over 2% from this last year,
[20:18] which is a very good thing. And
[20:20] collections have more than doubled since
[20:22] the 2021
[20:24] um season, reflecting the county's
[20:26] rebounding and expanding visitor
[20:28] economy.
[20:29] And I think you all got one of these
[20:32] today. This is our newest publication.
[20:34] Um, so more than 500 print, online,
[20:37] radio, and connected TV marketing
[20:39] initiatives were executive were executed
[20:42] in 2025. We had partnerships with
[20:45] Wyoming Office of Tourism, Spectrum
[20:47] Reach, Visit USA Parks, KHM, which was
[20:50] formerly Madden Media, and others
[20:53] expanded TV presence, video content, and
[20:56] trade show participation. Carbon County
[20:59] was featured in 95 plus articles and
[21:01] media placements including Travel and
[21:04] Leisure, National Geographic Traveler,
[21:06] Condaster Traveler, Forbes, Afar,
[21:09] Outside Magazine, US Today 10 Best, and
[21:13] Wyoming Tribune Eagle. And we also
[21:15] sponsored Y dot road information
[21:17] broadcasts carrying local tourism
[21:19] messages and advertising in the Carbon
[21:22] County Comet, which was taken to the
[21:24] local um hotels and lodging partners.
[21:28] Um and our local office, which Leslie is over, um they fulfilled more than
[21:33] 24,000 visitor information requests
[21:36] regionally, nationally, and
[21:38] internationally. We also partnered with
[21:40] the US Forest Service Service to staff
[21:43] the Brush Creek Visitor Center both for
[21:45] summer and winter. and um represented
[21:48] Carbon County at major industry events,
[21:51] Travel Exchange, International Inbound
[21:53] Travel Association Summit, Great
[21:56] American West, International Roundup, US
[21:59] IPAW, and the Governor's Conference on
[22:01] Hospitality and Tourism.
[22:04] And we are guided by a 10-year master
[22:06] plan um and all covering all 11
[22:10] communities and unincorporated areas.
[22:13] the planned goals. We coordinate
[22:15] business, civic, and government efforts,
[22:17] reduce duplication, track pack progress,
[22:20] and inspire community um improvements.
[22:23] And our plans includes partnerships,
[22:26] visitor experience upgrades, outdoor
[22:29] recreation development, and hospitality
[22:32] workforce support.
[22:34] um our recent progress, wayfinding and
[22:36] replacement signage assistance, byway
[22:38] planning, continental divide trail
[22:41] efforts, and updating hospitality
[22:43] workforce training. And we also, I think
[22:46] some of you have met um Cindy Loose, who
[22:49] is um our development specialist, and
[22:51] she identified 13 potential future
[22:54] destination development project
[22:56] opportunities across the county. Um,
[22:58] some of the things we did this last year
[23:00] besides what I've mentioned, we did
[23:02] complete the I80 bike path feasibility
[23:04] study. Um,
[23:07] we did get it down from over 30 million
[23:09] to 5 million, but we don't have the 5
[23:10] million yet, but we've got the study
[23:12] done, which is is really important. So,
[23:14] hopefully we can get Y DOT to work with
[23:16] us and make progress [music] on that in
[23:19] the future. Um, we've also partnered
[23:21] with the Carbon County Sheriff's Office
[23:22] to help create the Eastern Wyoming
[23:24] Avalanche Information Service System.
[23:27] And we've partnered with the Medicine
[23:29] Bow Museum to relocate the historic
[23:31] [laughter]
[23:32] fossil cabin, which is finally there.
[23:35] Um, we did partner with Cindy Lewis, the
[23:37] VIP marketing, um, to explain Carbon
[23:40] County's tourism master plan and assist
[23:42] in identifying potential destination
[23:45] develop projects to partner with us in
[23:47] the future. So the bottom line is
[23:50] residents rarely pay the lodging tax.
[23:54] Yet every community benefits from the
[23:56] visitors that it attracts. Um lodging
[23:59] tax dollars help discover Carbon County
[24:01] attract visitors who strengthen the
[24:02] local economy, expand the tax base, and
[24:06] support local businesses while funding
[24:08] better places to live and [music] not
[24:10] just visit. So the Carbon County lodging
[24:13] tax is paid by visitors and it's [music]
[24:15] invested in our community.
[24:17] So, does anyone have any questions?
[24:22] » Okay, thank you. I just want to step in
[24:24] and tell you how wonderful Mary Pat has
[24:27] been. She's a blessing to all of us.

[27:00] some of her [music] crew and so
[27:01] encouraged to come to that.
[27:04] >> Um lastly I have is uh as some of you
[27:07] may have noticed we had some divers in
[27:09] our water tanks recently. That's by
[27:12] design of course divers are wearing
[27:14] fully sealed dry suits designed to for
[27:17] work with inside potable drinking water
[27:19] work. Um they've been inspecting inside
[27:22] of the tanks and removing some sediment.
[27:24] Um we expect uh a full report for the
[27:27] tanks internal conditions probably this
[27:30] week.
[27:32] And with that, I would turn it over to
[27:35] our finance director for updates she'd
[27:38] like to give.
[27:44] So it's that time of year again. Our
[27:46] audits coming up. [music] The external
[27:48] audit is uh being done this year by
[27:51] Carver, Floric, and James. Again, that
[27:53] has begun and it's in full swing at this
[27:56] point in time. Um, also as the fiscal
[27:59] keepers of the city, I have to present
[28:02] to you the F66. The F66 was presented in
[28:06] your board docs. This is due to our
[28:08] state auditor's office by September
[28:10] 30th. So, I've presented to you that
[28:13] balanced report. Basically, on a very
[28:16] low level, this report
[28:18] takes our beginning bank balances, adds
[28:21] all of the revenue we received for the
[28:23] fiscal year, subtracts all of the
[28:25] expenses that we paid for the fiscal
[28:27] year, [music] and that should result in
[28:29] our ending bank balances. Um, and that's
[28:33] what makes it balance. So, just so
[28:35] you're aware of what it is that you are
[28:37] looking at. That is my full report
[28:40] today. Thank you.
[28:42] >> Thank you.
[28:43] All right, moving down to city reports.
[28:48] >> Thank you. Go ahead,
[28:49] >> Mayor. Uh, honorable vice mayor and
[28:51] councel. Um, just a few updates. Um, our
[28:55] law clerk, Shifa, uh, the bar results
[28:59] came out last week and she did pass. So,
[29:02] that's a great thing for her. Um, we're
[29:04] also making progress on completing a lot
[29:07] of the data points on the leans and
[29:10] surplus properties and some of those
[29:12] properties. And so we're making
[29:14] progress. It's just a lot of tedious
[29:16] work. Um,
[29:21] I continue working closely on a lot of
[29:23] ongoing projects right now with um some
[29:26] contract reviews and other projects that
[29:27] are that we are working with with
[29:29] finance um parks and wreck, DDA, public
[29:32] works and community development. And
[29:36] um I'm also keeping a breast of some
[29:40] rapidly changing um [sighs] uh
[29:43] legislation that that is coming through
[29:45] on the national level that has the
[29:47] potential to dramatically impact um city
[29:50] funding as a pass through from the
[29:52] federal level. So keeping a breast of
[29:54] that um I have kept council apprised on
[29:57] some of these updates that have come
[29:58] through and I will continue to do so.
[30:01] Also, next week I will be attending the
[30:04] IMLA International Municipal Lawyers
[30:06] Conference in Salt Lake City. And it's
[30:08] actually, you know, as nerdy as it
[30:10] sounds, it's actually an awesome
[30:12] conference. A bunch of nerdy lawyers
[30:14] talking about municipal things. So, I
[30:17] will be excited to report some of those
[30:19] learnings once uh uh at the next council
[30:22] session.
[30:23] >> Thank you.
[30:26] >> All right. Moving on to city council
[30:29] updates. Do we have any Councilman Sila?
[30:32] >> I've got a few questions. I guess uh
[30:35] where are we at on going out for bid on
[30:37] the chase stand for the baseball field
[30:42] if if we don't get that out sooner.
[30:46] >> So,
[30:51] we just talked about
[30:53] >> it's the middle of September. We're
[30:54] almost into October.
[30:55] >> Thank you, honorable Vice Mayor and
[30:57] Council. Uh we are working on the RFP
[30:59] for that right now. Um I was just
[31:01] talking to rec director Billy Hunt and
[31:03] we will be he will actually have his
[31:05] crews working on finding the water line
[31:08] that that we know exists there and then
[31:09] working with some plumbing companies to
[31:11] get going on the sewer line. So as soon
[31:14] as we get the RFP back, we're currently
[31:17] very busy on getting this booster
[31:19] station project off the ground and
[31:21] getting breaking ground on that
[31:22] hopefully at the end of this month. So,
[31:24] as soon as we get that uh in motion and
[31:26] broke ground, then we'll put a lot more
[31:28] focus on getting this RFP out to bid.
[31:30] >> Idea when the RFP is going to go out or
[31:32] >> what's that?
[31:33] >> An idea when we're going to send
[31:35] >> Don't know yet. I I got to get with uh
[31:37] our city engineer and see where he's at
[31:39] within that RFP.
[31:40] >> Okay.
[31:42] You're up there. I had some people ask
[31:44] me a couple questions this weekend. Is
[31:47] there a way some West Council go for a
[31:50] ride with you or engineer one them
[31:52] through Edinburgh?
[31:53] I had some questions brought to me on
[31:55] Edinburgh down there that
[31:57] >> Yeah, absolutely.
[31:58] >> Okay. Tomorrow afternoon work sometime
[32:00] or
[32:00] >> Yeah. Yeah.
[32:01] >> Okay. Whatever works for you tomorrow
[32:03] afternoon and we
[32:05] >> Yeah.
[32:06] >> There a couple of us wanted to meet with
[32:07] you and go kind of look
[32:08] >> go take a walk.
[32:10] >> We can do a walk or ride through or
[32:11] however.
[32:12] >> Okay. Absolutely. Any time.
[32:14] >> Yeah. Just let us know what time.
[32:16] >> Okay. We'll
[32:16] >> go from there. So, okay.
[32:17] >> We'll do.
[32:18] >> Okay. One question for the other one.
[32:21] Billy. Okay.
[32:23] Where are we at on the test sprinkler
[32:25] controllers at the cemetery? Are we
[32:27] going to get this done in time this year
[32:29] so we can kind of see time in head?
[32:32] Maybe we put them in this winter if we
[32:34] do that.
[32:34] >> Yeah, thank you honorable vice mayor and
[32:36] council. So, yes, we're moving actually
[32:38] really good on that. Um, we'll we'll
[32:41] probably be close to 50% by the end of
[32:45] this week of the system in place. I
[32:48] believe Mr. Sanger went out there and
[32:50] met with some of my staff and my
[32:52] understanding was you were pretty happy
[32:53] about it. Um, we think we have a good
[32:56] system in place that we're just moving
[32:58] forward with. We did price out some of
[33:00] the u uh solar which came back quite a
[33:04] bit more expensive than what we're
[33:05] currently using which is a battery
[33:07] operated system. A lot less digging but
[33:10] we still have to dig but we don't have
[33:11] to trench lines. Um, test system went
[33:15] really well. Um, and I think if you want
[33:17] to see a test system, we could probably
[33:19] do that for you early next week. Um, we
[33:21] just ordered the second component of uh,
[33:25] valves to finish completing it. But
[33:27] again, about the end of this week, we're
[33:28] about 50% done and a couple sections
[33:31] that are already watering are already
[33:32] getting a lot more greener. So, it's
[33:34] actually going really well. Just curious
[33:37] because if we have figured out before
[33:40] because we'll have a long fall, we
[33:41] always do that. A lot of times you can
[33:43] put stuff in that we're not using it,
[33:44] but we install it. So, we're ready for
[33:46] next spring.
[33:47] >> Yep.
[33:47] >> Is what I was looking at.
[33:48] >> Yeah, they've been working since last
[33:50] week on it. Have actually been moving
[33:52] very fast. Uh, second order of supplies
[33:55] should be in here pretty soon. Um, I
[33:58] think to do 75 75% of the cemetery is
[34:03] going to come right about $10,000,
[34:06] which is really under budget considering
[34:08] what you gave us. Um, and so if
[34:11] everything works according to plan, like
[34:13] we think it's going to, we're going to
[34:15] use some of that extra money to make
[34:16] sure we get some extra supplies so
[34:18] they're on stock and on hand so we can
[34:19] handle any breakage breakage or any
[34:21] issues that come up. And then just to
[34:23] answer your uh question on VFW is uh
[34:26] Nate and the crew will actually be out
[34:28] there tomorrow to start on the water
[34:30] line. So that'll be happening pretty
[34:31] quick this week as well.
[34:32] >> Okay. We just like see if you don't for
[34:35] bid because but that all takes time for
[34:39] that stuff.
[34:39] >> Yeah, I spoke with the uh the baseball
[34:42] board. Um the deadline really is May
[34:44] 30th to have that project completed
[34:46] which we've talked and we know [music]
[34:48] will be tough but our backup plan is for
[34:50] some reason if it doesn't get finished
[34:53] then we'll move up to the the sports
[34:55] complex up at the rec center but ideally
[34:57] we'd love to have it done.
[34:58] >> Yeah. I just don't see it moved. I just
[35:01] think
[35:01] >> I agree.
[35:03] Yep.
[35:04] >> Councilman,
[35:05] >> are the pipes for that sprinkler system
[35:09] down low enough that they won't break
[35:11] with the cold?
[35:12] >> We believe so. And it's all secured
[35:15] inside a box. And the wires are all
[35:18] coated to protect for flooding and
[35:20] everything. It's It's a pretty good
[35:22] system. So, we should
[35:23] >> freezing and temperatures. Not that it's
[35:26] been that way for the past two years,
[35:28] >> but um just to uh just making sure that
[35:32] the product we put in can survive the
[35:37] severe weather patterns that we have
[35:39] here.
[35:39] >> Yep. And then we'll blow out our systems
[35:41] as as well to make sure we're
[35:43] winterized. And [music] we'll probably
[35:44] start that process again depending on
[35:46] weather. But I'll get with Nate and
[35:48] we'll probably start looking at that in
[35:50] mid to late October on when that date is
[35:52] going to happen. But again, weather
[35:53] dependent. Thank you.
[35:55] >> You're welcome. Thank you.
[35:56] >> I had a question for Matt. The governor
[35:58] business forum, was there any employees
[36:01] that were interested in going to that?
[36:04] >> The governor's business forum.
[36:06] >> Mhm.
[36:06] >> Uh I don't think we had much feedback
[36:09] from the employees, although
[36:11] >> Okay.
[36:11] >> I can try and bring it up again. That's
[36:13] next week, right?
[36:16] >> Um November.
[36:17] >> November.
[36:17] It's in November. You have
[36:19] some time.
[36:19] >> No wonder. Yeah. Um sorry, honorable may
[36:22] vice mayor. Yeah. Um I'll try I'll try
[36:25] and circulate a little bit more. It's
[36:27] good that you get pointed out. It's
[36:28] always a very good uh statewide event.
[36:30] There's a lot
[36:31] >> to make those connections. Just
[36:33] wondering if anybody um our city
[36:36] employees were interested in attending.
[36:38] Well, and Council Member Lumen, I I
[36:40] think that especially even like a like a
[36:42] day trip for like somebody that may want
[36:44] to go over when we see what the I'll
[36:47] look through the full schedule and try
[36:48] and meet with the department heads and
[36:50] see if there's anything that might
[36:51] peique their interest specifically that
[36:54] to go over at least catch a couple
[36:55] things if not be there for the whole
[36:57] time. So,
[36:58] >> it's good.
[36:58] >> We'll get some we'll get some troops
[36:59] rallied to get over there.
[37:01] >> Thank you.
[37:03] >> Anyone else? Councilman Patterson,
[37:07] >> I'm going to bring it up every time
[37:08] until I get a good answer. Uh, where are
[37:11] we at with the Day Street project? This
[37:13] was supposed to be an emergency and that
[37:15] was how many months ago?
[37:18] >> No, we we're actually um we've been work
[37:21] the city engineer, sorry, honorable vice
[37:24] mayor and council member Patterson.
[37:26] We're we're working diligently with it.
[37:28] We have all the engineering of course
[37:30] kind of to that point when they're
[37:32] working on building the pumps for the station right now. And then
[37:38] we're working with the contractors to
[37:40] get them lined up so we can get the
[37:42] project going, get the excavations done,
[37:46] have all the contracts in place before
[37:47] then, so it'll be moving quickly. I I
[37:52] think that we all were very optimistic
[37:55] to and and to try and get it done as
[37:57] quickly as possible. We forced them to
[38:00] work as quickly as they could, but
[38:02] engineering does take some time and and
[38:05] that ended up taking I think a little
[38:06] bit longer than even the the engineers
[38:09] probably suspected it would. But I will
[38:12] say that better to take the time and do
[38:15] it right versus kind of rush it and and
[38:17] have like an issue that we got to go
[38:18] back and fix later on.
[38:20] And I think that talking to the public engineer, the city's engineer
[38:25] today, there is definitely a lot of he's
[38:28] got the Sunrise engineering group also
[38:32] double-checking what they're doing. He's
[38:34] double-checking what they got going on.
[38:35] And so it's going to be it'll still be a
[38:38] good push. I think we should be able to
[38:40] manage to get it um in place at
[38:42] November. I think we brought that up at
[38:44] the last meeting that that was probably
[38:46] the date we were shooting for in the
[38:48] beginning of November. now. But, um, but
[38:51] as soon as they get the the pump, the, you know, the actual physical piece
[38:56] that's going to go in there all built
[38:58] and then get it shipped, then I think
[39:00] the construction timing once it's on the
[39:02] ground here is like weeks. I mean, I
[39:04] think it it'll go really quickly once
[39:06] it's here. So, fear not.
[39:10] We're and and it's certainly obviously
[39:13] to your point because of the factor that
[39:16] we we viewed this as certainly an
[39:18] emergency that it's obviously priority
[39:20] number one for our public works team to
[39:23] try and make sure and get that going as
[39:24] quickly as they can.
[39:28] >> Anyone else?
[39:30] >> I have one question. Um the Lafaloma
[39:35] Street, have we do we have an up we not
[39:38] maybe not an update, but how how is the
[39:41] sewer doing on that street? Are we still
[39:43] having issues down there?
[39:48] » Yeah, I think Cody can handle that.
[39:50] >> Thank you, honorable Vice Mayor Councel.
[39:52] Um so we actually just got to test our
[39:54] brand new camera system that we got um
[39:57] on La Paloma this week. We actually did
[39:59] it on Monday because there's been a
[40:00] couple issues that arose up there. But
[40:02] we did find it's a big root ball coming
[40:04] out of one of the service lines that
[40:06] we're going to have to figure out how to
[40:08] get into and get that out of there. But
[40:11] all in all, running that camera up it,
[40:13] we did about 600 ft of it. Majority of
[40:15] it's in pretty good condition, but there
[40:17] is some sections that, you know,
[40:19] definitely
[40:20] are a little [music] iffy.
[40:23] >> Are there is there any urgency to any of
[40:25] that? Actually, we have we are going to
[40:27] go up there and do some root cutting and
[40:30] possibly some digging on it this week
[40:33] because of what [music] we saw in it.
[40:34] Okay.
[40:35] >> So, we we definitely there's a service
[40:37] with some a bunch of roots coming
[40:38] through it and we definitely have to get
[40:40] that out of there. Either a root cutter
[40:42] system or if it's bad enough, we might
[40:45] have to dig that one up. It's currently
[40:46] flowing right now. We can get our sewer
[40:48] jet past it and the camera shows water
[40:51] flows through it, but it is
[40:55] blocking about 50% of that pipe.
[40:57] >> Okay. Is it lower? Is it closer to uh El
[41:00] Rancho Drive?
[41:01] >> I think so. Yes.
[41:02] >> Yeah. Is it?
[41:03] >> Yeah.
[41:05] >> Um I think that's all I had on that one.
[41:08] >> I I did have I have a I had a question
[41:12] or a concern. In 2021, we passed uh
[41:18] rule that says that to bring a
[41:21] resolution or ordinance to the floor, it
[41:26] has to go through the city attorney
[41:27] first um before it can be presented. Um
[41:32] the issue I have with this is it kind of
[41:35] hamstrings us from putting something
[41:38] together and putting and bringing it
[41:39] forward. Um, for instance, I had one a
[41:44] few years ago that I wanted brought
[41:45] forward and it took it was almost 6
[41:48] months before it hit the floor and it it
[41:51] was held up um by previous council. Um,
[41:56] and it's one of those
[42:00] I think if you have an idea and you want
[42:02] to present it to the council to
[42:06] have reviewed and a resolution or
[42:08] ordinance, it shouldn't have to go there
[42:10] first. I think that should be the second
[42:12] step if council says, "Yeah, we like
[42:14] this idea." Um, and I was [music] kind
[42:17] of curious what everybody else's
[42:18] thoughts are on this because it it says,
[42:21] um,
[42:22] let me see if I got this.
[42:27] So we would strike the sentence that
[42:29] makes legal review a condition precedent
[42:32] before any resolution ordinance can be
[42:34] presented to the governing body.
[42:37] That's that's my heartache with it. I
[42:40] don't feel like that should be a
[42:41] requirement to bring something to the
[42:44] governing body. Councilman S. So you're
[42:48] suggesting that we could do it through
[42:50] work session, discuss the idea, put
[42:54] together an idea, then send it off to
[42:57] the as opposed to sending there first,
[43:01] then sorry, and then having to work through it from
[43:07] there. Just we could we could flush it
[43:09] all out first. Yes, that's the idea. Would we we would
[43:15] handle it first and then say, "Yep, we
[43:17] like this and then send it to legal for
[43:20] full review to make sure we didn't miss
[43:22] anything." But just curious,
[43:25] >> what's the change?
[43:26] >> It it would strike the sentence that
[43:28] makes legal review a condition precedent
[43:31] before any resolution or ordinance can
[43:33] be presented to this governing body.
[43:38] And it would just what it removes the
[43:39] bottleneck and it returns the power to
[43:41] introduce debate legislation directly to
[43:44] the council.
[43:48] » Okay.
[43:49] >> What resolution is this? I'm sorry.
[43:51] >> Um 1 0 1 0 1 0.
[44:00] » Honorable vice mayor.
[44:01] >> Yeah. So just uh kind of in the context
[44:06] a little bit of the discussion here. Um
[44:09] you know I think that nothing prohibits
[44:12] the council from talking to either the
[44:14] mayor or even myself and putting
[44:16] something on the agenda you know to
[44:18] discuss. I think that the pro the way
[44:22] the process works, which is kind of what
[44:24] we actually hit on at the last meeting
[44:26] where we brought in something with the
[44:28] parking and stuff like that and and
[44:30] talked about that in a work session kind
[44:31] of format and basically kind of in a way
[44:34] got the feel of council and if there was
[44:37] kind of a collective idea on which
[44:39] direction to move forward or not, then
[44:41] that ball starts to roll legislatively
[44:44] and then can go work on a resolution.
[44:48] the city attorney can work that out and
[44:50] then bring back that for a regular
[44:52] discussion to vote on per if it's an
[44:54] ordinance or if it's a resolution or
[44:55] whatever. So,
[44:57] >> so I I think that especially if you want
[44:59] to bring up something that maybe perhaps
[45:01] you think's maybe a problem, maybe
[45:04] causing you just want to have a
[45:05] discussion as far as that particular
[45:06] ordinance, I think it's totally fair to
[45:08] say try to try and see a future work
[45:10] session and we can, you know, put that
[45:13] on there and talk about that and and see
[45:15] what comes out of it. Yeah.
[45:18] Thank you, Councilman L.
[45:20] >> I don't think that uh resolution ever
[45:22] stopped
[45:23] um discussion. Well, at least in the
[45:27] past year and a half, hasn't stopped
[45:29] anybody from bringing up uh a topic for
[45:32] discussion. Um like you just spoke
[45:36] about.
[45:38] I think the main thing was to make sure
[45:40] the lawyer looks at it before the vote.
[45:44] So I think that was the intent of that we don't vote on something without
[45:50] the legal review happening first. It
[45:53] wasn't to stop
[45:55] people from discussing it first because
[45:58] before you put out a resolution, you
[46:00] want to make sure the whole council and
[46:01] the public knows what it is and get a
[46:05] feel of if it's something we need or if
[46:07] it's something we don't or if
[46:09] something's out of line before we give
[46:12] it to legal to
[46:15] uh cross the tees and touch the eyes.
[46:18] That was my thought on that resolution.
[46:22] I I think you
[46:23] >> but I think it can be used
[46:26] >> the opposite way as well. So maybe it
[46:29] needs clarified. I
[46:30] >> I think so. I've had it used against me
[46:32] as I wanted to bring something to the
[46:35] council and I couldn't because it didn't
[46:36] go to the attorney first for for review.
[46:39] Um and it and it so the text that it
[46:41] actually the text in 101 or 1.01.010 010
[46:46] the adoption um as a condition precedent
[46:49] every ordinance and resolution being
[46:51] presented to the governing body shall be
[46:53] reviewed by the Roman city attorney for
[46:55] legal compliance and sufficiency. So
[46:58] before you could bring it to to the
[47:00] council for review or to have the
[47:02] discussion it has it says it has to be
[47:06] go through um the attorney but
[47:09] >> all you'd have to add is presented for
[47:12] vote.
[47:14] two words for vote. Presented for vote,
[47:18] >> right?
[47:19] >> So, you can present anything for
[47:21] discussion,
[47:22] >> but if you're going to vote on it, has
[47:24] to go through the attorney.
[47:26] >> Thank you.
[47:28] >> Is that everything? Anybody else have
[47:30] anything? Okay. All right. We're going
[47:33] to move on. Thank you
[47:36] to
[47:38] Sorry, I'm just a little behind right
[47:40] here. Number 8A, an ordinance approving

[48:55] second. Do we have any discussion?
[49:01] » Have one more reading and then you can
[49:02] start advertising. Right.
[49:04] >> Yes, we have. This is a second one. So,
[49:06] we'll have the third one
[49:07] >> and then we'll make the changes.
[49:09] >> All right.
[49:13] » Okay. Seeing no more, we'll open online
[49:15] voting, please.
[49:26] Online voting is open.
[49:39] » Online voting is closed. The motion
[49:40] passes with six yays.
[49:42] >> Thank you. You okay? Moving down to new
[49:46] business. Um 9A ratification FAA fiscal
[49:51] year 2026 airport improvement program
[49:54] grant agreement for Rollins Municipal
[49:55] Airport Harvey field fuel farm project
[49:58] grant one of two. Councilman sing.
[50:00] >> I move to ratify the FAA airport
[50:03] infrastructure grant number
[50:04] 3-56-0023-027-
[50:10] 2026 for the Rollins Municipal Harvey
[50:13] Airport Harvey Field Fuel farm project
[50:16] with the mayor and the city attorney to
[50:18] execute the grant agreement and related
[50:21] documents. Second,
[50:24] >> we have a first and a [music] second. Do
[50:26] we have any discussion? Councilman Sing.
[50:29] >> So
[50:31] in I so I read through the grant and the
[50:33] grant names
[50:36] the mayor the
[50:40] um county commissioners and the board
[50:42] chair from the airport
[50:45] who who actually administers this grant.
[50:50] >> Uh Vice Mayor Gardner, Council Member
[50:53] Singer. Um, I believe Amy Bach, the uh,
[50:56] attorney for the airport board is
[50:57] present and as are other representatives
[51:00] of the airport board who are prepared to
[51:02] respond to any questions.
[51:09] So,
[51:11] uh,
[51:13] honored vice mayor and council, uh, the
[51:16] airport board will disperse these funds
[51:21] for the project schedule.
[51:23] Uh we have uh we've spent uh several
[51:28] months developing
[51:29] costs for the project, the inspection of
[51:32] the project, the
[51:35] and uh rounded up the contractor. We are
[51:39] uh
[51:42] the it's very structured, very
[51:45] structured. All payments are handled
[51:47] through the Black Cat Aviation System
[51:51] from the Wyoming DOT.
[51:54] The payments are reviewed at the state
[51:56] level and the federal level.
[51:59] We do not pay
[52:01] any monies out
[52:04] until they approve and send us a check
[52:08] for it. The grant approval means that
[52:12] yes, we get the grant. the monies do not
[52:15] come until after approval of the FAA and
[52:19] the Wyoming DOT that the charges are
[52:22] accurate and then they send us a check
[52:26] minus our local portion that we're
[52:28] responsible for to cover the cost of
[52:31] this project.
[52:34] >> The question is is who does that work?
[52:36] Who's doing that? Is that you guys that
[52:37] do that or because on here it says that
[52:42] with the mayor and the city attorney to
[52:44] execute the grant agreement and related
[52:47] documents. So is the related documents
[52:51] whatever it is that we have to send to
[52:53] them? Are you handling that side of it?
[52:56] Does the attorney handle that side of
[52:58] it? Do the county commissioners handle
[53:00] that side of it? Who's the one sending
[53:01] the documents to the FAA?
[53:04] >> They're done electronically. Um, but
[53:06] who's doing them?
[53:07] >> The engineering company, the engineering
[53:09] firm that we have
[53:12] >> prepares the documents, sends them to
[53:15] the FAA
[53:18] in the last five projects that I've
[53:20] worked with the airport for. There has
[53:23] been no involvement from the there has
[53:26] been no need for involvement from the
[53:27] city or the county in dispersement of
[53:31] these funds or anything after signing
[53:34] that you approve that we have made an
[53:38] acceptable decision to proceed with this
[53:40] project.
[53:40] >> Okay. So you guys are doing it
[53:42] >> correct? Okay. That was the question.
[53:48] Do we have any other questions?
[53:51] Any more comments?
[53:53] I do have a a small comment if I
[53:57] the FAA is very particular. Is the mayor
[54:01] capable of signing at this point in
[54:03] time?
[54:04] >> It's been signed.
[54:07] >> Uh we we are on a short time frame. It
[54:10] has to be
[54:12] >> we will lose availability of the grant
[54:14] on the 17th. So, I wanted to clarify
[54:18] that it it does require the mayor's
[54:21] signature at this point in time. If I
[54:23] needed to change that, now is the time.
[54:27] >> So, are both of these for uh improving
[54:31] the fueling system.
[54:34] >> Yes, ma'am. This is phase one.
[54:37] Uh we are installing a pad and some
[54:42] infrastructure improvements
[54:44] on the edge of the airport to be able to
[54:46] install the fuel tank. Phase two will be
[54:50] installing a
[54:53] pump
[54:54] uh a credit card system and a pump to
[54:57] make a self-s served fueling system
[55:00] available. 24.
[55:03] >> Uh we were able to
[55:06] [clears throat] uh
[55:08] Sinclair HF Sinclair generously donated
[55:11] a tank to us of a surplus to them which
[55:14] we were able to use for this project
[55:16] saving about $450,000.
[55:20] >> That's awesome.
[55:21] So,
[55:25] okay.
[55:26] Anyone else?
[55:31] Thank you, Vice Mayor Garner. Honorable
[55:32] council, uh just to clarify, um as as
[55:35] stated, the FAA is very particular about
[55:38] the documentation. Um as you can see
[55:41] from the motion, it is to ratify. So,
[55:43] the mayor and I have already executed
[55:45] this so that it can be passed on and um
[55:48] meet the timelines and deadlines
[55:49] required in order for the funding to be
[55:51] distributed.
[55:53] Thank you.
[55:55] All right. Go ahead and open
[55:57] online voting, please.
[56:07] Online voting is open.
[56:23] Online voting has closed. The motion
[56:25] passes with five A's and one abstaining.
[56:27] The one abstaining was council member
[56:29] Patterson.
[56:32] >> Right. Moving down to
[56:35] 9B. We appreciate uh the time of the
[56:38] council and we appreciate the ability to
[56:41] come and speak before you. The airport
[56:43] just like the city and local governments
[56:45] is faced with huge reductions and
[56:48] funding due to the recent changes of the
[56:50] state. Um it's very important that we
[56:53] all band together and um try and um
[56:58] educate regarding the importance of
[57:00] local tax funding.
[57:02] >> Thank you.
[57:05] All right. Um going to move down to 9B.
[57:09] Um
[57:11] ratification
[57:13] uh FAA fiscal year 2026 airport
[57:16] improvement program grant agreement for
[57:18] Rollins Municipal Airport Harvey Fields
[57:20] Fuel Farm Project Grant two of two.
[57:22] Councilman Singer. I move to ratify the
[57:24] FAA airport improvement program grant
[57:27] number 3-56-000023-028-2026
[57:34] with having the mayor and the city
[57:36] attorney to execute the grant agreement
[57:38] and any related documents necessary to
[57:40] effectuate acceptance of the grant.
[57:43] >> Second
[57:46] person do we have any discussion?
[57:50] We'll see that. We'll go ahead and open
[57:52] online voting.
[57:54] >> Online voting is open.
[58:10] » Online voting has closed. The motion
[58:12] passes with five yays and one abstain.
[58:14] The one abstaining was council member
[58:16] Patterson.
[58:17] >> Thank you.
[58:20] guys for joining us today. Um,
[58:23] go down to new business 9C,
[58:27] approve local government liability pool
[58:29] LGP board nomination of vacancies. Uh,
[58:33] Councilman Patterson
[58:35] >> move to appoint
[58:37] [cough and clears throat]
[58:38] who's the name.
[58:40] >> Well, they have three that are
[58:42] rerunning.
[58:44] Three positions that are open, but
[58:46] people that are in them are rerun.
[58:54] We don't have to appoint anybody from
[58:55] here. We can agree to to whatever
[58:57] they're
[59:01] » vice mayor gardner and council. So,
[59:05] council member uh Sanger is correct, you
[59:07] can elect somebody from the board,
[59:10] either the city council board or in
[59:13] under board docks, there are three
[59:15] individuals, but one is only running for
[59:19] council. It has to be council. There are
[59:22] three different districts. One is for
[59:24] county commissioners, the other one is
[59:27] for elected municipal office and then
[59:29] the other one is for special district
[59:32] at and then one is yes for special
[59:35] district. [music] So the three that are
[59:38] running the one that is running for
[59:40] council is
[59:43] Mike Bailey. He is the city of Riverton.
[59:47] He's on the council for Riverton.
[59:51] So you can elect him or you can elect
[59:53] one of the council members that is
[59:55] seated here.
[59:58] It is your choice.
[1:00:01] >> Is anyone interested in
[1:00:07] » No, right.
[1:00:08] >> Okay.
[1:00:09] >> Poison.
[1:00:13] I don't know how to proceed with
[1:00:14] following.
[1:00:18] Move to appoint the three names that the
[1:00:20] clerk.
[1:00:21] >> You only need one.
[1:00:22] >> We only have the one.
[1:00:23] >> Mike Bailey.
[1:00:24] >> Mike.
[1:00:24] >> We don't Mike Bailey, council member to
[1:00:28] the local li government liability pool
[1:00:31] or elected municipal pool position.
[1:00:35] Do we have a second?
[1:00:37] >> Okay.
[1:00:37] >> First and second.
[1:00:40] You have a discussion.
[1:00:42] Seeing none, we'll go ahead and open the
[1:00:44] line of online voting.
[1:00:48] » Okay. So, if you hold on, if we just
[1:00:55] I have a different laptop and I mine
[1:00:57] this is very different and I don't have
[1:00:59] the refresh button. So, the motion reads
[1:01:03] move to appoint Mike Bailey, council
[1:01:05] member, to the local government
[1:01:06] liability pool, LGLP for the elected
[1:01:10] municipal position. And that's what
[1:01:12] you're voting on. So I don't have the
[1:01:13] refresh button. So I cannot refresh to
[1:01:16] have you guys refresh.
[1:01:18] >> No, that's okay. Just close.
[1:01:21] It's just okay.
[1:01:24] >> Online voting is open.
[1:01:32] » I
[1:01:35] don't know the gun, but what the
[1:01:38] online voting has closed. The motion
[1:01:40] passes with six yays.
[1:01:43] >> All right, moving down to new business.
[1:01:45] Uh 9D, um approve Sage Creek Pipeline
[1:01:49] Cathotic Protection Rehabilitation
[1:01:51] Project change order number one.
[1:01:56] Councilman second.
[1:01:57] >> I move to approve Sage Creek Pipeline
[1:01:59] Cathotic Protection Rehabilitation
[1:02:01] Project change order number one in the
[1:02:03] amount of $79,200
[1:02:06] for testing to find highresistant
[1:02:08] joints.
[1:02:10] in pipeline that would need repaired for
[1:02:13] conductivity of the cathotic protection
[1:02:15] of the pipeline.
[1:02:16] >> Okay.
[1:02:18] And we have a first and second. Do we
[1:02:20] have discussion?
[1:02:22] >> Well, how long are we out here? Are you
[1:02:24] missing products or are we to make?
[1:02:27] >> Uh so we currently have our new uh depot
[1:02:31] anode and um
[1:02:34] all energized to the pipeline now. So we
[1:02:38] did where this came from was some
[1:02:40] preliminary testing that we did. We
[1:02:41] would go from station to station and
[1:02:43] energize certain stations and then we
[1:02:46] would do some ground testing on that to
[1:02:48] see if there was bad spots in the pipe.
[1:02:50] Once we got the the everything hooked up
[1:02:53] and the pipeline energized. Um we are
[1:02:57] now we're looking at test stations
[1:02:59] throughout the whole pipeline and
[1:03:01] testing in between them to try to figure
[1:03:03] out where we have these high resistance
[1:03:05] uh joints.
[1:03:09] >> So um having read through this thing it
[1:03:11] says having installed new test stations
[1:03:12] are you finding high resistant areas?
[1:03:15] >> Yes.
[1:03:15] >> Okay. Yes.
[1:03:16] >> So in up in this where it says that this
[1:03:19] money is for testing for the high
[1:03:21] resistance. When you find the high
[1:03:22] resistance, are you going to come back
[1:03:23] to us and ask we need to now dig and no
[1:03:27] >> deal with these or
[1:03:29] >> so what this is it's a it's a different
[1:03:31] kind of ground testing cuz so what what
[1:03:34] it's called I'm learning a whole lot
[1:03:36] about this uh this cathotic protection.
[1:03:40] It's called direct current variable uh
[1:03:42] gradients and it's where anywhere in the
[1:03:44] pipeline where there's an anomaly or the
[1:03:47] pipe is exposed to the dirt, the current
[1:03:49] will actually jump out into the ground
[1:03:51] and you can actually test for it on top
[1:03:53] and see that there's energized portions
[1:03:55] of the ground and we can dig these
[1:03:57] anomalies and actually find out where
[1:03:59] we're losing the power in the pipeline.
[1:04:02] And we did some preliminary digs out
[1:04:03] there and found anomalies. [music]
[1:04:05] So this this number was a not to exceed
[1:04:08] number. This is what they assumed in the
[1:04:10] pre-esting phase. And so that what we're
[1:04:13] hoping is that we could find most of
[1:04:14] them anomalies and just dig them up on
[1:04:17] site instead of having to expose say 600
[1:04:19] ft of pipe for full excavation of the
[1:04:22] pipe and then testing every individual
[1:04:24] joint. So this helps us kind of narrow
[1:04:26] down where we're at through between the
[1:04:28] two test station new test stations.
[1:04:31] That's what I'm saying.
[1:04:33] >> So, it's it's kind of a guarantee that
[1:04:36] if you're having high resistance,
[1:04:38] which means your [music] your
[1:04:40] electricity is not going through the
[1:04:42] line the way it's supposed to be, when
[1:04:43] you have that, you're trying to get rid
[1:04:46] of that so that you have
[1:04:48] >> so that you have good flow from point A
[1:04:50] to point B.
[1:04:50] >> Yes.
[1:04:51] >> When you find high resistance,
[1:04:54] >> something has to be fixed.
[1:04:55] >> Yes. That's the question I asked was,
[1:04:58] >> "Oh,
[1:04:59] >> once once we get done with the high
[1:05:01] resistance side of it, which is the
[1:05:02] 79,000,
[1:05:04] will we have to go back then and expect
[1:05:06] another change order for repair of those
[1:05:09] high resistance areas,
[1:05:12] or do we just let that electricity shoot
[1:05:14] off into the dirt?"
[1:05:15] >> No. No. We actually put into the project
[1:05:17] repairs of those joints. What we're
[1:05:18] trying to do is cut down the excavation.
[1:05:20] Yeah. We're not trying to dig up 2400 ft
[1:05:24] of pipe, you know, we want to try to
[1:05:25] just individual spots that we can we can
[1:05:28] locate. And now that we have the pipe
[1:05:31] energized, it's looking better. So, uh,
[1:05:33] we don't foresee this number being that
[1:05:35] high once we finish out that testing,
[1:05:38] but preliminary testings, we we just
[1:05:40] said, "Okay, give us what it would take
[1:05:42] if we had to test mo most of the line."
[1:05:44] So,
[1:05:44] >> I'm just curious about that. If you have
[1:05:46] to fix it,
[1:05:47] >> is that part of $79,000 or you come back
[1:05:51] to us and ask us for more?
[1:05:53] >> Yes, there's already quantities within
[1:05:54] that for repairs for a certain amount.
[1:05:58] You
[1:05:58] >> good? Okay.
[1:06:00] >> Anyone else? All right. Thank you. Go
[1:06:04] ahead and open online voting, please.
[1:06:06] >> Online voting is open.
[1:06:20] Online voting has closed. Mo motion
[1:06:22] passes with six yays.
[1:06:28] All right, we'll go ahead and adjourn
[1:06:30] this council meeting at 7:00. Um,
[1:06:36] our next city council meeting is October
[1:06:39] 6, 2026.
