1 00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:33,320 is 9:00. >> So, let's go ahead and 2 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,880 talk 3 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,680 » here. Cherry 4 00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:48,560 » here. >> Councelor Angela 5 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:54,639 » here. >> Here. Yeah. 6 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,840 » Okay. Stand in the invitation pledge. >> Dear heavenly father, we just thank you 7 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,759 for this beautiful name. We thank you for the rain that we've been receiving 8 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,360 for our forests and for our rivers. We're just so thankful for that. We ask 9 00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:10,240 that you would be with us as we go through this meeting. Uh give us wisdom, 10 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:18,280 give us judgment, and help us to make the best decisions for our community. In 11 00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:18,280 Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. America 12 00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:32,280 under God, liberty and justice for all. 13 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:44,639 » Okay. First item is the I'll make a motion to approve the agenda. 14 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:46,800 A motion second. Have any discussions? All in favor? 15 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,600 » I. >> Motion carries. And next item is public 16 00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:56,560 comment. Seems we don't have anybody signed up. Uh so we'll move on to 17 00:05:54,479 --> 00:06:03,600 approval of the minutes from our regular meeting of July 28th and our special 18 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,680 meeting August 14th. >> I'll make a motion to approve the 19 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,560 minutes. >> A second. 20 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,080 » Any motion and second? Any discussion? All in favor? 21 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:18,960 tickets. >> In the next items, we have recognition 22 00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:23,759 of one of our employees who I also here today is for Edward 23 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:28,800 and recognition of five years of service to the town. Your commitment, hard work 24 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:35,199 and contributions are sincerely appreciated and Edward drives the uh 25 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:40,000 trash truck for us. So very very important points and shall keep our 26 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:44,160 voice for five years. We are very happy and very important. 27 00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:49,199 If you see Edward, be sure to tell him congratulations. Okay. 28 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:55,280 All right. Next, we have a presentation. We have two with us. We also have red 29 00:06:51,919 --> 00:07:00,639 with us with us for planner on Parson. So, u we're so excited to have you guys. 30 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,160 Yeah, we are. We love to have you here with us to give us an update. So, I'm 31 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:09,960 going to turn it off. >> Um should I stand? 32 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,960 » Sure. Why don't you say any kind? 33 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Uh, 34 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,000 » hey, thanks members of the council 35 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:30,000 just >> I'm the forest planner 36 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:37,599 » and we wanted to come give you a little preview, I guess, of this uh the 37 00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:43,120 Castillia project that we are planning to release to the public for a 30-day 38 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:46,120 comment period. uh coming up in September. 39 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:55,680 » So this first slide is the uh east side of the Carson and the colors underneath 40 00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:01,919 there are from the 2020 New Mexico Forest Action Plan. The darker redder 41 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:07,120 colors represent higher fire risk. And as part of that forest action plan, the 42 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,879 state identified 12 priority landscapes uh for restoration within the within the 43 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:17,199 state. This enchanted circle, the whole enchanted circle area was one of those. 44 00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:23,440 And in 2022, the Forest Service adopted that Enchanted Circle landscape as one 45 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:32,399 of our top 10 priorities nationally for the entire Forest Service. Um to reduce 46 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:39,279 fire risk, protect communities. Um and then also the under the uh county 47 00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:45,120 community wildfire protection plans, this they they talk about community 48 00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:52,560 protection uh risk reduction. The next slide is going to show the proposed 49 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:57,680 project area um which includes so that's the purple 50 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,839 outlined on this slide. It includes all of the Quester Ranger District and most 51 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:09,839 of the Camino Rial Ranger District to the south. The gap down there south of 52 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:14,959 TA is um excluded because we have two recent decisions in that area that cover 53 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:21,760 this same type of work. The Tal Canyon decision and the McGaffy decision. Uh 54 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:27,839 the rest of those two districts totals about 490,000 acres and we think there's 55 00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:34,480 a little over a 100,000 acres in there where we have uh opportunities to treat. 56 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:40,320 And by treatment we mean wildfire risk mitigation, fuels reduction and forest 57 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,040 restoration um 58 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,279 spinning and prescriber. So, next slide. That could look like a 59 00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:58,320 lot of different things. So, thinning could be by hand with chainsaw. Um, or 60 00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:05,760 it could be using larger equipment, a harvester or u bunchards. 61 00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:11,279 And then to remove the material in some places, we can do that with fuelwood 62 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:18,399 haulers uh dead down fieldwood permits. We've also the our demo project has been 63 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:22,079 really successful. That's local folks um using their own equipment to thin an 64 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:28,079 acre at a time and they keep the material. They're hauling it off with 65 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:35,360 their own pickup trucks basically. Um in some areas where the material has value, 66 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:40,880 you can sell it as timber, as lumber. Um we have also included mastication and 67 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:47,839 chipping as an option. um that requires hauling this equipment 68 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:52,320 around. It's more labor intensive. It's not going to be the right fit 69 00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:56,800 everywhere. It in a lot of cases it costs more. Um but we do have it as an 70 00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:00,320 option. The main thing is it doesn't remove the fuels from the site and in 71 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:08,160 most cases that's what we're trying to do. So next slide. The most efficient 72 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:14,320 effective way to remove fuels is by burning them either as pile burns or 73 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:19,440 broadcast burns. Um that picture on the lower left is another option that we've 74 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:24,800 included. Um that's called an air curtain incinerator. Basically all the 75 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:29,040 combustion happens in that container. Again you got to haul this equipment 76 00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:35,360 around. It's a lot more labor intensive. that's a lot more um costs a lot more um 77 00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:43,920 but it could have limited uses. Ultimately, any of these um techniques 78 00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:50,880 or tools, the intent is to prepare the landscape for a wildfire so that when we 79 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:56,160 have a wildfire, the fire effects and um our suppression response to it looks 80 00:11:53,279 --> 00:12:02,240 more like that upper right picture and less like the lower right picture. 81 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:11,279 Okay, next slide. So, I have a big map of this. Um, like I 82 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:16,000 said, we've identified about 20% of the landscape where we think we have 83 00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:20,480 opportunities to treat. Um, so there is a big map there that people could look 84 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:25,680 at. I think you all also got if you did not I can give you this little onepage 85 00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:33,040 um handout that has the has the uh at least got 86 00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:39,760 some um it has the project website on there and this map is 87 00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:44,480 available there as a TV um 88 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:49,600 so what we're focused on these polygons are frequent fire forest 89 00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:56,000 titus So that's ponderosa pine and dry mixed conifer. The red areas on the map 90 00:12:53,120 --> 00:13:02,160 are close to the communities or in the wildland urban interface. So that's our 91 00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:08,079 highest priority for treatment. The orange and yellow areas are further out 92 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:14,240 or they're less accessible. So those would be lower priorities. Um we've also 93 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:19,600 identified these purple areas. Uh those are other forest types. So treatment in 94 00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:24,000 there wouldn't be to restore the fire regime, but it would be for other 95 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:30,079 reasons like forest health, treating an insect and disease outbreak, um or just 96 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:34,320 breaking up the mosaic, um creating fuel brakes that would help us fight a 97 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:40,320 wildfire. Um to get to all these locations, we've 98 00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:46,480 identified 137 miles of legacy roads. These are old logging roads basically 99 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:50,800 that already exist on the landscape. Um but the the Forest Service doesn't do 100 00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:55,920 anything right now to manage. Um we would open them up for the project and 101 00:13:52,880 --> 00:14:00,880 then decommission them um once the project is complete. We're also 102 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:06,959 proposing leaving some roads open either to the public or for administrative use. 103 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:14,839 Those would be like fire roads. Um, and Alisa, there's a table printed out there 104 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,839 that uh details 105 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:24,000 uh the all the road miles. It's also on this printed map. 106 00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:28,240 Um, it's important to point out that what's shown on this map are 107 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:36,320 opportunities. It's not a map of planned projects. So these are not um 108 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:41,199 thinning units or prescribed burn units because the locations of these could 109 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:46,320 change a little bit based on surveys that we still need to do for wildlife 110 00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:50,079 for archaeology. Um also could change based on partners who are interested in 111 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:57,639 doing this work and what their capability is. Um and then on funding. 112 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:57,639 Um 113 00:14:57,839 --> 00:15:04,000 so all that sight specific kind of planning would happen over the life of 114 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:08,000 this project which is maybe next 10 to 15 years or more. We do that in 115 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:13,720 coordination with the communities and with our our partners for the next time. 116 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:22,399 Okay. So I'm going to end with this picture from the 96 Honda fire. and 117 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,839 looking at this fire scar still trees have not grown back on that 118 00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:32,079 fire scar and probably that's not going to be a force um in my lifetime. 119 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:36,880 The the quote on the right side there is from the Gana Canyon Sristoal community 120 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:43,199 wildfire protection plan and it talks about the impacts of that fire. Um 20 121 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:47,839 homes burned postfire ash pillows and erosion uh that resulted in fish kills 122 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:53,440 in the Rio Grand and significant impacts to siki infrastructure. 123 00:15:50,800 --> 00:16:00,000 We've seen those impacts more and more in the last 30 years since this fire and 124 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:05,680 in a lot of places these dry ponderosa pine forests um are still at this kind 125 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:11,600 of risk. We've been chipping away at the problem but it's been smallcale for the 126 00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:17,360 last 30 years. Um the smallcale analysis, small scale thinning projects 127 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:23,839 and uh what we're trying to do with this project is increase pace and scale to 128 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:31,680 meet the scale of the risk. And then the last slide is one last picture that's of 129 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:36,399 the Carson from uh 1912 and you see large ponderosa pine. It's 130 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:40,720 widely spaced. there's not a lot of vegetation in the understory and so 131 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:44,399 fires in these forests acted a lot differently. They didn't kill the 132 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:49,920 understory trees. So when a fire went through um a forest was left behind and 133 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:55,440 that's the kind of fire that we're trying to reintroduce. Um and that also 134 00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:59,759 gives us a better chance to protect those homes that we weren't able to 135 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:06,799 protect in 1996. Um, so that's the link to the uh project 136 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:11,839 web page. More information, the map is there. Um, you can also see the comments 137 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:17,120 there. The comment period will start on September 8th. It'll go for 30 days. And 138 00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:24,319 then my contact information is on the bottom of that slide. Um, and I'll hang 139 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:30,320 out. I I mean, we'll hang out outside Lisa if people have questions. I think I 140 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:36,280 handed out all our little flyers and things. 141 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:36,280 » And if you guys have other questions, 142 00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:40,480 » thank you. >> Exciting to see you guys doing something 143 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:46,720 like this because this has been meaning for so we're glad it's moving forward. 144 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:51,840 Questions council or >> I have a number of them but I'll take 145 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:55,000 them on the side. Okay. Thank you guys. Thank you. 146 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:09,280 Okay, next item is final features. 147 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:16,799 You see in August for June four sectors in construction we were up $55,250 148 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:21,400 177 27%. Retail trade was up $6,271 149 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:33,080 6.22%. 22%. Real estate was up $17,950, 150 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,080 38.86%. 151 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:41,280 Accommodation food service was up $8,230, 152 00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:45,559 $8.53%. It's nice to save up. 153 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:56,559 So, our gross receipts tax recap for the month, we were $25,380 154 00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:01,720 7.44%. And here today we're up $61,823 155 00:19:01,919 --> 00:19:04,919 11.52%. 156 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:14,320 LE's cash recap. At reporting time, we had six nightly rentals and one 157 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:21,120 management company that had reported. And for the month, we are down 12,820 158 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:25,960 11.97%. Year to date, we're down 62,129 159 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:35,200 6.33%. Were the people that didn't report that 160 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:41,600 brought us? Yes, I believe. So >> it's interesting that 161 00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:44,720 » of that property management and how many they manage as well. 162 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,960 » Right. So >> and a lot of this is catching up from 163 00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:56,640 January from the first quarter, right? Trying to close the gap. 164 00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:59,799 » Questions for you got your tech register in there. 165 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,679 review. >> Yes. 166 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,480 » All right. If there's your questions, I would take a motion to approve the 167 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:13,360 financial and expenditures. >> I'll make the motion that we approve 168 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:16,080 financial report and expenditures. >> Have a second. 169 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:21,760 » Second. >> We have a motion and a second to approve 170 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:26,799 our expenditures for July. Any discussion? All in favor? 171 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:30,799 » I. Motion carries. >> We'll move on to committee reports. 172 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:36,159 Public safety. Um we did hold a meeting but my department was had calls so they 173 00:20:33,919 --> 00:20:41,760 were doing service calls so we technically did not discuss anything. Um 174 00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:48,000 their department reports um are in the minutes from this meeting. Um so you can 175 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:51,200 see their department numbers. >> That was it. 176 00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:55,600 » Okay. Any questions around public? 177 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:59,440 » We did have a meeting. Isaac reported that the well number five 178 00:20:57,679 --> 00:21:04,799 is still down. Uh they're monitoring the water levels 179 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:11,440 and everything seems to be in good >> great great condition. So do we need 180 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:18,480 to fix uh but that's good news with what's going to go on down the hill. 181 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:23,679 Some folks down there uh Northern Paving will be doing the final stage of 182 00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:29,039 pavement on the Bitter Creek area. Is that correct? No jump. Oh jump. Sorry, I 183 00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:33,520 got the wrong thing. Um, 184 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:38,559 for the we're waiting on the new new water meters for the workforce housing 185 00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:43,600 still. Oh, you got them. So, that happened since our meeting. That's good. 186 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,799 » Uh, the school zone lights which are going to be solar have arrived. 187 00:21:46,159 --> 00:21:49,760 » Wonderful. >> Which when are they going to go in? 188 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:55,840 We're going to try to get them in this week. They need two days to charge solar 189 00:21:52,159 --> 00:21:59,200 tubs. But that happened. I know you had to piece them together 190 00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:05,600 that's a lot cheaper to go to that pretty expensive sidewalk for the 191 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:09,440 woods and stuff as well. >> Awesome. Great. Great. 192 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:14,240 » A lot of things happened since the meeting. So, uh the valley gutters are 193 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:20,000 being installed. The rest of high street that will take place next summer. 194 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:27,679 Uh and then street sweeping. We're trying to get on a schedule now. 195 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:33,760 So, Tuesdays and Thursdays don't Street. >> Um, 196 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:38,159 let's see. The paving for Ber Creek and Stage Cove, there is funding secured 197 00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:41,360 for that, but we're still getting the bids. 198 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:46,240 We have it. >> Jim's going to do it. Okay, good. Good. 199 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:50,159 Uh, sidewalk project. We're still working on some punch list stuff. I 200 00:22:47,679 --> 00:22:55,280 think they're almost done. Yes. Uh, public works building. Uh, no. 201 00:22:54,159 --> 00:22:58,280 We're never going to get to move into another 202 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:06,559 has taken over as the plumber compared to the one that they had hired before. 203 00:23:03,919 --> 00:23:09,960 So he's the perfect right now. Okay. So we're getting close. 204 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:19,760 » Um and then on the on equipment vehicle and equipments, we're going to look at 205 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:24,159 leasing equipment, trucks, trash trucks um from enterprise. So that'll keep us 206 00:23:22,159 --> 00:23:28,640 from having to take the long process of finding a specific equipment. We can 207 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:33,120 just lease it and but put that in our budget. So I think it's worked good with 208 00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:37,280 the graders. Um so hopefully we can make that work well 209 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:42,799 and future needs. We we're still going to get a lift or that's something we 210 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:46,640 would lease. Also possibly treatment plants, the new fine screens 211 00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:51,039 are still a couple months out. The drawings are complete. So we're getting 212 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:55,440 closer and closer. At the time the meeting staffing was good and after that 213 00:23:53,679 --> 00:23:58,960 we were journal. >> Thank you. Questions? 214 00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:05,679 » I have some side questions. In light of the recent rain on Rose Hill behind me. 215 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:11,520 Um we're seeing all of that cleichy clay washing down as we're redoing High 216 00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:15,360 Street. Are we going to refund that um runoff? Because right now it comes down 217 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:21,279 and runs down an alley. >> Um you guys are trying to keep it clean. 218 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,960 It's discussed it with uh J motion on our last Congress meeting. 219 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:27,840 » Thank you. >> And it's part of a permit. So they need 220 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,279 to set that up for us to do that. >> Right. Just just since we're observing 221 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:36,240 it, it's a good time to talk about it. >> You want to 222 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:42,159 we just need to funnel it so that it doesn't put property in danger. Yeah. 223 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:44,960 » Anything else? >> I think that was all of mine. 224 00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:49,679 » Parks and trails. >> I didn't have any. We're working on 225 00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:53,120 getting more to you. So, >> okay. Glad you're saying that. 226 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:57,440 » Unfortunately, we didn't have a meeting either. Sometimes events put a big 227 00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:02,320 impact on my committee, so they were not able to gather. 228 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:05,600 » Okay. Me, got a couple things. So, the one thing that's on here that says 229 00:25:03,679 --> 00:25:11,520 specialized technical services for advanced IT fees for requests. So, IRA 230 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:17,760 is the Inspection and Public Records Act, which gives the general public the 231 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:23,360 right to ask the municipality for um records, emails, phone records, pretty 232 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:28,640 much anything because everything we do is just an open book. And so, I think 233 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:35,760 it's important, just just a little FYI for you guys, um our legal fees for 234 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:42,720 March, April, and June were $4,191 for that. and the IT part was 1,400. So, 235 00:25:39,679 --> 00:25:46,159 it's it's costly um because we have to have our our legal team go through 236 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,400 actually we have to have somebody go through all the emails, pull everything, 237 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:55,520 the legal has to go through the redacted things that can't be released as far as 238 00:25:52,640 --> 00:26:00,799 personal information. So, um it is a big deal. The municipal league is doing a 239 00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:06,000 big push to do full reform at the legislature to to get this where it's 240 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:10,720 not it's not that we ever want to hinder the public from our information. But a 241 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:15,440 lot of what's happening too is that there's people from all over the country 242 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:19,120 that call in and they want the information and God only knows what they 243 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:23,120 do with it. But it's just a burden because we can't say no and it's a 244 00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:28,000 deadline. So it's a dedicated person. This doesn't even include the time it 245 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:31,840 takes for staff to spend weeks on getting this information. So, it's just 246 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:36,159 it's important that you guys know. I mean, it's it's good that we can make it 247 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:40,000 available to the public, but would it sometimes it becomes a burden for us and 248 00:26:37,919 --> 00:26:41,279 it's impossible. >> So, mayor. 249 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,919 » Yes. >> So, would this be an external um 250 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:53,520 organization that would do this? >> Uh it's it's individuals. It's who? 251 00:26:50,159 --> 00:26:58,960 » No, no, no. Excuse me. I'm sorry but um so the 252 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:03,200 » technical services so are are we just adding money or are we actually hiring 253 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:07,200 some technical services? >> This is our ambitions that we work with 254 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:10,960 that we already have. It's our IT service but it's outside of our contract 255 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,799 so it's additional cost. >> Thank you. I I just need a little 256 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:20,159 clarification. So thank you. Um, okay. So, that's 257 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:25,039 uh let's see. We you had a survey in your packet that we want to send out. 258 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:30,480 So, we had the meeting about adding um the business registration 259 00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:36,799 update and our business ordinance. So, in there we had some some 260 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:40,880 questions about food trucks. Um we got strong opinions on both sides and we're 261 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:44,400 probably going to have a work session at some point this month. Did y'all have a 262 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,679 chance so we could get questions on the survey? 263 00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:48,880 » Yes. >> So, we'll probably send that out through 264 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:54,480 Survey Monkey because I think it's important that we get both sides of it 265 00:27:51,279 --> 00:28:00,320 to uh as we go forward making our um decisions. So, that that'll be going 266 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:04,880 down probably next week. Um let's see. The sign for the wastewater treatment 267 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:09,360 plant is in the process. It seems like it's kind of stalled right now. Uh we're 268 00:28:07,679 --> 00:28:15,200 hoping to get it because we dedicated that to the we renamed the Russell A. 269 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:19,600 Church uh treatment plant. We're hoping in the next couple weeks we can get that 270 00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:25,840 dedicated and have that complete. So if you look out there, it has it has 271 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:30,159 started. Uh September 3rd, we will have the goodtorial candidate Greg Hall will 272 00:28:27,919 --> 00:28:36,640 be in town. He's going to be doing a northern tour. So he'll be in uh Tal Qua 273 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:41,279 and then end up here at 5:30 at the conference center and do a a meet and 274 00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:45,200 greet reception from 5:30 to 7:30. So that'll give you guys an opportunity to 275 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:49,760 come out and and at least visit with him and get some questions asked. I think 276 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:52,559 it's important um you know that we have a chance to meet the candidate who are 277 00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:55,279 going to be running November because we're going to have the new governor and 278 00:28:53,760 --> 00:29:01,600 you know we're going to be working with so I haven't had anybody from the 279 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:05,760 Holland um campaign committee reach out yet but if they do of course we'll 280 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,080 entertain handed them by Pure Tube. Okay. 281 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:12,240 » Will the town be hosting them? >> Uh no. Okay. It it'll be uh 282 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:17,039 » it'll be their campaign. >> It's there. Yeah. 283 00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:23,840 » Okay. Just Yeah. Um, the municipal conference starts tomorrow. So, I know 284 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:29,559 Steve and Angel myself will be going and Rene and 285 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:29,559 » regrets. 286 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:40,080 » Jason. Okay. I said, "So, um, so we will be out for 287 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:44,640 most of the week, but we all have cell phones, so you need anything, please 288 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:50,845 feel free to reach out." >> But your remaining council people will 289 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,845 be in town. We're available. [laughter] 290 00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:54,679 » But call them first. 291 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:02,279 Charge. So, >> good. 292 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,279 » All right. [snorts] Any questions? 293 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:09,520 » Okay. Inside of the zoo business, first item of the business is to ratify Steve 294 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,715 Gorsuch to the parks and trail committee. You had an attempt to speak 295 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,735 prepared, I assume. [laughter] 296 00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:26,399 Steve Gorsk to parks and trails committee. Is that a second? 297 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,279 » Second. >> I have a motion in a second. Any 298 00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:31,679 discussion? >> Okay. Roll call. 299 00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:33,200 » Councelor Daniel L. >> Yes. 300 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,641 » Council Black. >> Yes. Council Cherry. 301 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,200 » Yes. Councelor Justin Brown. [clears throat] 302 00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:43,440 » Yes. >> Motion carries. Welcome aboard. So we 303 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:47,840 will also address members. 304 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:53,520 » Okay. Next item is consideration and approval of resolution 2026-22. 305 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:58,320 This is the notice of intent to apply for funding from the water trust board 306 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:02,799 for a wastewater system improvement project and this will be for the 307 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:10,399 collection system to continue that way. So the the plan is to apply for for this 308 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:16,159 one now and then in December to apply for plan design construct for the sludge 309 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:20,880 handling the treatment plant. So hopefully we could get both. The uh the 310 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:26,480 legislature did make a change last session where they took it out of their 311 00:31:23,919 --> 00:31:30,000 hands. So if we used to apply once a year and then it went through their 312 00:31:28,159 --> 00:31:34,480 process for approval and it kind of slowed everything down. So now we're 313 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,760 hopefully we can apply more. It'll be a quicker process and we can get more 314 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:44,399 funding to get things done. They want to get more money in the community to get 315 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:49,840 our treatment plans the waste water. So, I would take a motion to approve 316 00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:53,039 resolution 2026-2. >> I'll make that recommendation. 317 00:31:52,159 --> 00:31:56,320 » I have a second. >> I'll second. 318 00:31:54,480 --> 00:32:00,559 » Okay. I have a motion in a second to approve the resolution. Any other 319 00:31:58,159 --> 00:32:03,360 comments or discussion? >> Okay. Roll call. Councelor Justin 320 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,799 Randberg. >> Yes. 321 00:32:03,679 --> 00:32:06,399 » Councelor Daniel L. >> Yes. 322 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,159 » Councelor Angela Black. >> Yes. 323 00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:11,760 » Council Cherry. >> Yes. 324 00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:15,760 » Motion carries. All right. Next is matters from the governing vote. Council 325 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:21,080 Lamb, >> not today. 326 00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:21,080 » Council Black today. 327 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:30,480 » Okay, there is now to business. We'll get started. Thank you all. 328 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,480 Pushing down.
