[38:00] position since she had no idea about any of that. So I asked the county to just

[38:06] take it over for us and they agreed to. So all of this paperwork, they've just

[38:11] included us because I didn't want Megan to have that responsibility. So, I would

[38:16] hope that we would pass that. So, Megan, she's been calling me sleepless. Can't

[38:22] get worried about especially what three weeks ago she was on the clock.

[38:27] » Since this is just a regular ordinance on this here, can we go on the first one

[38:31] and spin the rules and pass it on second, third tonight?

[38:34] » Or would you rather wait next? >> I'd rather wait just because it's so

[38:37] indepth and does have penalties and things like that. I

[38:40] » You like that part? I just and like I said once it passes

[38:44] just give it to me and I will hand it over to them. But

[38:49] » no just make a motion to pass on first reading.

[38:51] » What's the ordinance there on that? >> I'll make a motion to pass the flood

[38:55] ordinance on first reading. >> It's got uh it is 26 BCC030.

[39:02] » Okay. Motion >> as stated.

[39:04] » Oh, sorry. That motion is made and second passes or introduce this on the

[39:08] first reading and we'll take it up in October. Is there any discussion on

[39:12] this? >> Second.

[39:14] » Oh J. >> All those in favor say I.

[39:18] » I. I. >> Those opposed same. Motion carries.

[39:22] » Thank you. >> Government at work right there.

[39:27] » When it comes to that stuff, I've dealt with that too much over the years.

[39:30] » Yeah. >> The best thing you can do is say I don't

[39:33] know. >> Yeah.

[39:33] » Move on. Well, I do appreciate the like, yeah, [snorts] Corbin will do it. There

[39:38] was no hassle. They kept me in the loop. So, I was thankful for that.

[39:46] » Did that did that. Okay. [clears throat] Uh, new business, basketball court,

[39:52] Rooseville Town Park. Roger. >> Uh, this is something I brought up about

[39:57] three years ago. It'll be three years ago next month.

[40:01] Some of you may not be aware of it. I don't know.

[40:04] Uh, and there we didn't we didn't hear any answer from anybody. We just and Don

[40:10] and I was talking about it. He said, "Go ahead and get quote, see what we can

[40:13] do." That what this is about is we have one basketball court, one basketball

[40:19] goal. My idea was to double it and put a

[40:22] second goal. Uh, after measuring that didn't work.

[40:27] It's too close to the pavilion. So, we backed it off. instead of going

[40:32] another 26 feet. That one is 26 feet from the goal to the back edge.

[40:38] Uh adding 20 feet and putting a second goal on the west end.

[40:46] Um after looking at things, I decided to and talking to Don, we we got a quote on

[40:53] a goal that matches the other end for two reasons. aesthetic. And

[41:00] the second reason, that one's been there 18 years, and it hasn't broke. It hasn't

[41:05] caused any trouble, and I think it's a nice looking bowl.

[41:11] So, I got a drawing if anybody wants to see it. I got a quote from

[41:19] Row, Anthony Row. He's the same guy that's been doing our concrete work down

[41:23] at the park. Uh Don and I it was a lot less than Don

[41:26] and I thought it was going to be. >> That has to have some fill if we decide

[41:30] to do it uh on the west end to keep it level. That really drops off going west.

[41:38] And he was going to put the fill in stone and compact it and 5 in depth

[41:44] concrete.

[41:47] And it's 20 by 51. and it would include the new footer pad

[41:53] for the goal post. And if we decide to do it, we'd have to

[41:57] wait for the uh Jbolles that comes with the post so they can be put in the

[42:02] concrete when he pours the concrete that attaches the post to the

[42:07] » How much is the boat or the gold in that?

[42:10] » The the quote from row was 136. the quote on a uh

[42:19] goalpost. [snorts] It's a If anybody knows anything about gold post, it's a

[42:22] » Those are expensive. >> It's a Gorilla is kind of what we have

[42:26] out there. Uh was shipping $25.49.95. The best I could figure. I didn't call

[42:32] anybody. I just looked at on the internet and tried to figure out. And it

[42:36] says if we decide to do it, Megan, I'll have to go over it with you.

[42:41] They said if you pay by credit card, go ahead and include the tax

[42:46] and then they'll refund it. But if you don't want to include the sales tax, you

[42:50] can call them and work out agreements with getting

[42:55] that your tax exempt. I don't know how they won't pay. If the if the board

[43:01] would want to do that, we we'll figure it out. I have a phone number for it's

[43:05] in Indianapolis. the place. Does anybody want to see any

[43:09] of this paper drawing?

[43:15] » Want to see

[43:20] » that

[43:23] the dotted line is the the addition.

[43:29] » If you have any questions about the goalpost, you got the other guys. I

[43:32] could I could look them up for you. It's got all the specs. It's uh like I said,

[43:38] we have any trouble with that one that's out there. It's a heavy gauge metal. It

[43:43] is adjustable, but we have that one padlock, so it can't be changed.

[43:47] » And and I'm sure that's what we would do if we if we did it.

[43:51] » Does it shoot from here? Is it a fourpoint? [clears throat]

[43:55] Um, almost >> the whole idea with this behind my my

[43:58] thinking when I brought it up >> is you can't go by there in the summer

[44:02] without seeing bunch of kids out there playing basketball and there's one

[44:06] basketball. >> Uhhuh.

[44:08] » And I think if you did this, they could have two pickup games. And then maybe

[44:14] it's a short court obviously, but uh even what we had out there is not half

[44:20] of a foot regulation basketball court. So if they're the only ones out there

[44:24] playing, they can play full court if they wanted to. But more the idea was

[44:27] there's instead of kids sitting over there on the bench and can't play, they

[44:31] can get bring their basketball and have two pickup games, two or three full

[44:37] players. That was my idea. It's always busy. Uh I think there's more kids would

[44:41] use it. Uh it's my understanding we're going to lose some basketball sometimes

[44:46] at the Lions Club possibly. >> We'll have both basketball and pickle

[44:52] ball. But if we're playing pickle ball, you can't play basketball. That That was

[44:54] my point. Yeah. >> During the day, it's going to be mostly

[44:58] pickle ball. >> Yeah.

[44:59] » And then once school's ended, >> basketball gets

[45:03] » And I honestly don't other than somebody's house, I don't know of any

[45:05] other place kids can play basketball. >> So, I just thought it was a good idea.

[45:10] » We used to play down there in O'Neal's up there. Uh, are you making that a

[45:16] motion? That' be a total of >> uh

[45:19] » 16,150.

[45:23] » Yeah, a nickel short of that. >> Something like that.

[45:25] » Yeah, I'll make >> Okay, there is there a second?

[45:28] » Second >> discussion.

[45:31] » Can I ask a question since we're the parkour?

[45:34] » Yes. >> Um

[45:38] where exactly is this? You said west. >> Yeah.

[45:41] » And I'm thinking west, you're going to be hitting the pavilion.

[45:45] No. You You would like to see a drawing? Yes. Yeah.

[45:48] » I'll bring it to you. >> One thing for discussion. I want to make

[45:53] sure I let you guys know there's a tree out there that we have.

[45:58] » We can move.

[46:11] » Okay. I I will say one thing about about this only because we when the Eagle

[46:17] Scouts put that um what is that thing called? Goff, we were going to put it

[46:22] out in this area and the kids didn't want us to because they wanted to play

[46:26] football out there. >> They said that's the only place they had

[46:30] to throw a ball to play football. So I I if this [clears throat] is the

[46:36] same area I don't >> Yeah.

[46:38] And um anyway, >> a lot of kids that wanted a basketball

[46:43] court. I >> Yeah, I talked to a lot of kids. I

[46:46] didn't do any kind of a legal survey. I didn't get one person, one kid tell me I

[46:49] want to play football. >> Okay.

[46:51] » They all thought a second basketball goal was heaven.

[46:55] » Well, every kid probably would. >> I remember have to wait down there at

[47:00] Lions Club get on game unless unless she got in a fight and he took it over like

[47:05] we did. I I expected Rick to to attack

[47:12] some time on that tree. >> It's a tough call. It's a uh I think

[47:15] it's a red oak. >> Red oak.

[47:17] » Red oak. >> And I It's probably too big to move.

[47:20] » It's probably too big to move. That was the one that was attacked with a

[47:22] machete. >> Yeah.

[47:23] » But we trimmed it up and it did recover. >> Yeah. Self. Matter.

[47:28] » If I'm not if I'm if I'm not correct, tell me if I

[47:32] think you guys had to remove a tree to put the new park in. Yes.

[47:36] » Yeah. So, >> I didn't I didn't warn that one, though.

[47:40] » I I love trees, too, and I don't like getting rid of trees, but it's too

[47:43] close. The trunk would actually be about I think a foot and a half from the the

[47:48] plane cement with the overhang of the limbs and stuff. It just

[47:55] would be in favor of planting another tree to replace that one.

[47:58] » Well, I don't know. I don't know if we can remove that or not. For sure. I'll

[48:03] let you I'll let you guys figure it out. >> I think Rick disagreed with me that it's

[48:06] probably a little big to move. >> A little big to move.

[48:09] » Too big to move. >> Unless you get a real

[48:12] » clamsh.

[48:20] Well, just that we are doing um an upgrade at the Lions Club and trying

[48:27] to make that into a full court with two new basket back courts. Now, the

[48:33] painting on it will also be for pickle ball during the day. The Lions have

[48:38] purchased a portable pickle ball court pickle ball court net that can go into

[48:45] like a deck box along the side. So, we're hoping that that project will move

[48:51] forward. 21st Caw is coming.

[48:57] » I uh I got a comment on pickle ball real quick. I didn't know this. I looked this

[49:02] up. You know, it was in actually started in 1965.

[49:07] It just took off over time. >> All right. Any more discussion?

[49:12] » I I also want to add that I I spoke to Craig. There will be some back fill

[49:17] necessary >> because of the height that if you did it

[49:21] » and we would Don suggested we do that oursel if we decide

[49:26] » I think we can man that's not a big deal it was all right we get the dirt right

[49:31] » left and and Anthony said there'll be some do that there'll be some dirt where

[49:36] he'll have to excavate >> up up close to that and I told him we

[49:41] want to save the dirt and he said sure >> yeah we always use that Okay. Is there

[49:46] any other discussion? All those in favor say I.

[49:51] » I. Those opposed same. Motion carried. Okay. Did I leave out anything on

[49:58] so far on this before we go into this other part? Okay.

[50:04] Comments from the guest. Jill.

[50:08] Yeah. You better not comment.

[50:13] Rick, you have any I think

[50:25] place. I won't be at the very beginning, but I have to leave.

[50:32] » And the 10th I won't be here at all. I'll be down.

[50:57] on comments. Greg, you any comments? >> No.

[51:05] from the city and they were happily impressed by the town of how much stuff

[51:11] actually is going on in our town. So kudos to everyone. They did get stopped.

[51:17] Uh so good job for the I think someone someone's stopping for the golf cart or

[51:23] something. So um she was laughed but uh she was happy that we have such a great

[51:29] community and there's so much going on in such a small community and she was

[51:34] complaining about the recycling but I told her to take her comments somewhere

[51:36] else. So >> tell her we can just move it move it to

[51:40] Western. No, she was just saying it's great, but there was people who don't

[51:44] break down boxes and there's people who leave stuff there shouldn't be left

[51:48] there. >> I know I spent about 10 minutes down

[51:51] there one day doing city. >> I just had two boxes.

[52:17] by the inner urban station like in a circle, that very east lot at the we

[52:23] don't have to give approval for it, but just I want you guys to think about it.

[52:27] » East lot, that's >> very east lot.

[52:30] » Very out there by the trees. Not in front. out in front by that one tree.

[52:34] » So, it will be nine flag poles and it will be like a gateway to the banners

[52:39] and everything. So, and it'll have a little monument, little ambbitz monument

[52:44] by it for all veterans. >> Well, when you give us a

[52:49] » Yeah, I'll draw on and stuff like that when you do that.

[52:52] » I just wanted to give you a heads up that we're working on a grant to get it

[52:56] get it put in. It all be lit.

[53:00] Keep in mind the parking lot for all the coffee drinkers and really

[53:15] » Megan, you have anything else before we do the claims?

[53:20] » I don't think so. >> All right. I just want, like I said

[53:22] before, I want to make a comment on how how grateful I am for all the hard work

[53:27] everybody's been doing impress new people and hopefully one of

[53:32] these days we'll be able to get that uh

[53:38] trail through here and that doesn't seem like it's going it's a long ways off. I

[53:42] have I haven't heard much about that. Have you Rick?

[53:46] » Yes. The rails the trails program opens in 2028.

[53:51] They had what $und00 million that went through it.

[53:56] » The rails for trails program to even apply for it is 2028.

[54:01] » Okay. I didn't understand what you said. My bad.

[54:03] » Thank you. >> The biggest hurdle I see what I've seen

[54:07] is that correct me if I'm wrong. This is just got is that trestle.

[54:11] » No, the biggest problem right the biggest hurdle is Norfick Southern.

[54:15] » Yes. >> Wanting to be reimbured

[54:17] » heavily. 4.8.

[54:22] That's not >> That's not much.

[54:31] » Really? Well, let's just send them a note and end that there for

[54:45] overgrown. We need to send them a Put that on your list, Greg.

[54:49] for >> them to clean up the

[54:51] » find them. They've got 30 days to clean it up.

[54:56] » You know what I mean? >> Those rails are rusting and they're not.

[55:00] Could Could it be an environmental hazard they're causing for our town?

[55:05] » I guess you're not going to get as far as I know about the railroads. Nobody

[55:10] has any luck with that. I mean, they abandoned them if they could be easy,

[55:13] but they just >> It's like trying to fight insurance.

[55:16] » It is history. I've heard on that is if they abandon it, the other railroad

[55:21] company got has the rights to it and they're wanting the rights to it. That's

[55:25] why years ago, >> it's crazy that it's like cemeteries.

[55:29] Everyone has a different set of rules that they can follow.

[55:33] » I was just going to tell them that we're going to put a data center there.

[55:38] » Well, again, I have no f nothing further.

[56:16] discussion? All those in favor say I. >> Motion passes. All right. Now I
