Tracy anything else she's running from

no next up we got the rolling Pig pin
[3:33] would like to be at the farmers market
lot they would like to be there on
[3:37] November the 20th December the 13th
6th 1th I'm assuming not 6th 20th and
[3:45] 27th
um no complaints that I've heard about
[3:50] rolling Pig pin Jane you're the one that
gets all the concerns emails we're good
[3:55] so everything appears to be in order as
has been in the past
[4:03] questions
nope I'll make a motion to allow the uh
[4:07] rly Pig pin to operate during those
dates and times I'll
[4:12] second motion and a second all those in
favor signify with i i i all those
[4:18] oppose same sign motion carries
congratulations rolling Pig
[4:23] pin next on the agenda we have a food
truck application from Richard Hart of
[4:30] Little Rock
Arkansas sells USDA certified frozen
[4:35] steak chicken seafood and
pork um Melissa is not here but she did
[4:41] stop by to let us know that um
everything pretty much seems to be in
[4:47] order um they will come out and do the
health inspection the day
[4:52] of um Jane what am I forgetting on this
one and then I'll dive into why it's a
[4:58] good truck and not
I think you're good okay so all the
[5:03] typical upfront stuff we have driver's
license we have all the stuff but the
[5:06] question becomes why a food truck and
not an itinerate Merchant so as we have
[5:12] dove into itinerate Merchant and food
truck
[5:15] ordinances um repeatedly over the last
month or so we discovered a clause in
[5:21] itinerant Merchant that says you cannot
operate in a
[5:24] commercial property Only commercial
property is an itinerant Merchant um we
[5:29] could not find anything related to
operating on as a food truck when you
[5:35] not selling prepared
food because everything he is selling is
[5:39] frozen ahead of time but there's nothing
in the food truck ordinance that
[5:43] prohibits that so but they can do that
on Tractor Supply lot a private lot mhm
[5:48] okay but not a public lot well they
would just have to get approval for for
[5:52] a public lot right yeah so but that is
why he is seeking a food truck license
[5:59] instead of an itinerant Merchant um
Jeremy's been involved in the
[6:03] conversation Craig's been involved in
the conversation Kelly Jane Mel me
[6:07] Darren's probably read it at this point
so uh is it a one time one day thing or
[6:13] I would assume if he's getting a permit
he'll probably be back more than once
[6:16] over the course of the so if we get him
permit he can come back monthly but he
[6:21] should be asking each month to come back
depends on so he's actually going to
[6:25] operate at um Tractor Supply so he'll be
good for a year after he has issued a
[6:32] food truck permit so ex s every day
insect every time yeah the health
[6:38] department would still have to inspect
him each time but um he'll have what he
[6:43] needs from us to operate on private
property like
[6:47] that did I get that legally close we
mailed it okay I'm just going to
[6:53] leave yeah that's probably a bad idea
yeah um so questions I know probably
[6:59] made that even muddier than where it was
in my head
[7:07] so okay what's your
will it's not the first time we've it
[7:14] it's probably the first time we've done
exactly this but not the first time
[7:17] we've allowed this to happen yeah so I
would make a motion to uh go ahead with
[7:24] it to approve it I'll second that motion
and second to approve Richard Hart for
[7:29] food truck truck permit all those in
favor say I I all those oppos same sign
[7:35] motion carries I guess Richard Hart is
operating as the cattle Club direct
[7:39] sorry I was reading the application not
the okay let's see next up we do have a
[7:45] taxi cab license application Jane is
this a new one or a renewal new new one
[7:51] from BTO
Tomas um 600 Holiday Drive the office is
[7:57] at 409 East 2 Street which should be a
commercial
[8:00] area um the cab itself is a Kia
Sportage um One driver been driving for
[8:08] 21 to 22
years again home residence and office
[8:13] residence are two separate
things
[8:17] um has work it looks like for iing for a
few
[8:21] years
[8:25] questions and it looks like it has been
inspected but I am not going to try to
[8:31] read that
[8:34] signature a Seymour police officer has
inspected and signed off on it but I
[8:38] have no idea which one that
is you want to
[8:46] try oh
[8:49] gosh he might have missed his calling he
might have wanted to go in the medical
[8:56] profession sorry doc
but uh everything appears to be in order
[9:04] questions no no questions for me I'll uh
I'll make a motion to allow B&T
[9:09] multi-services
LLC
[9:13] second motion and a second all those in
favor signify with i i i all those
[9:19] oppose same sign motion carries
[9:24] congratulations uh Chief
roll tell us what you got going on I got
[9:30] to make a call real quick I'll be right
back good
[9:33] morning I requesting uh promotion for
Joseph Murray Joe Murphy to be promoted
[9:41] from the rank of first class firefighter
to shift
[9:44] inspector and that'll be effective
November 17th of this year okay we need
[9:51] to proove that or is that information
that's what I was going to ask so seemed
[9:54] like that was always information
informational just informational
[9:57] congratulations to Jo Joseph thank I
don't know if I've ever heard him called
[10:00] Joseph J good kid is that one of your
hires Brad
[10:06] y okay
uh
[10:20] Bernie good morning um just to have a
quick issue uh I just thought I'd let
[10:25] you know that uh the there's a an
unofficial detour that they would like
[10:31] to to the OT would like to do for the
closure on State Road 11 at uh geyser
[10:37] Drive I think you have a copy on your
desk and I'm sorry I'm going to put it
[10:41] in front of you again I think to try to
get it signed but um they're basically
[10:46] uh closing putting in a new cver at
geyser Drive it'll probably be closed
[10:50] for only a couple of weeks I don't know
I don't think they ever gave us an exact
[10:54] closure time but um okay the official
detour will be in place place from 5125
[11:01] to 61 1925 so they have a month and 19
days or so so um I'm assuming that's
[11:10] that will be okay uh we don't really
have a choice the some degree they have
[11:14] an official detour that starts basically
at Dudley toown on State Road 250 goes
[11:18] over to I65 comes down I65 and comes
across us50 there's just not going to be
[11:25] very many people using that as the
official or as the official detour so
[11:30] most people are going to probably use
either our internal streets or the
[11:34] bypass so I think we're in good shape
for trucks to use the bypass at this
[11:38] point so I don't know if it needs a
motion but after reading it yesterday I
[11:43] understand their concept and I'll make a
motion to approve the unofficial deter
[11:47] the state is recommending
[11:51] second then motion and second all those
in favor signify with i i i i oose same
[11:56] sign okay sorry then the second second
thing I thought we better tell you that
[12:01] uh uh Second Street is a the utilities
are officially completed at this point
[12:06] and they will start full scale
construction starting on the 18th which
[12:12] is just Monday so utilities on or after
the 18th utilities are supposed to be
[12:17] done that was all this summer was
everything second Community yeah and we
[12:22] we'll start basically at John Deere and
start closing kind of rolling closure
[12:27] that will go towards the east at that
point I saw there's a lot of equipment
[12:32] staged down on is that the school lot
yeah what's
[12:37] that they have a lot of equipment stage
down there on the I think it's the high
[12:40] school lot yeah this is going to look
like a it's big this is going to they're
[12:45] going to put in the huge pipes for the
drainage system and that's just going to
[12:49] blow the whole Road apart so don't
expect to have real good travel
[12:53] conditions for a good year
anyhow that's that's my recommendation
[12:58] are they that road down to the base like
they did the other part of the second
[13:02] all the way down to the base repacking
and then right you you've seen that but
[13:06] it's worse it's worse because there's
it's a wider Road there and it's and
[13:11] it's got bigger bigger pipes is that the
storm drain that goes to the plant or is
[13:16] that no that's this is just there is a a
crossing of the the main sanitary sewer
[13:23] line and it's going to be replaced but
it's right there at the the health
[13:27] department we'll be putting in the uh
uh just a new cross pipe there that'll
[13:32] be a little bit of a trick because that
is the majority of Seymour sewage
[13:36] running across Second Street right there
I haven't they haven't even talked about
[13:40] that yet can can we rephrase that to
running under Second Street right there
[13:44] running 3 Second Street yes that's true
we don't want to see it running across
[13:49] how big is that main
Bernie 30 in I think diameter is that
[13:54] sewer or storm sewer that's sanitary
sewer sanitary and probably some storm
[13:58] sewer too a lot of the project does
involve storm Ser though so but the yeah
[14:03] the we're bringing I think we started 36
in at uh what's that big upgrade yeah we
[14:09] started with a a huge pipe there at Von
Fang ditch and we're coming um all the
[14:15] way through to Vine Street basically and
that 30 Dock's old offices there and
[14:20] that 30 in is replacing how big of a
pipe okay I got I've got two different
[14:26] kind of the 36 inch pipe is the is the
storm sewer okay and it it comes up and
[14:32] then it actually splits and and turns
into a parallel system okay by the time
[14:37] it gets up towards Vine but it's
replacing how big of what's in there now
[14:40] how big I think 24 in maybe the most
okay that'll help some of the problems
[14:45] on Second Street that's the goal we
there's no guarantees here I mean when
[14:50] it floods it floods I mean it kind of
backs up everywhere you get 4 Ines of
[14:54] rain in an hour it's going to flood but
this is definitely going to help but
[14:57] it's definitely not going to if if the
Von Fang is dry it'll be dry up you know
[15:02] up through Second Street yeah fair
enough yep yep thank you thank you
[15:07] thanks Bernie Mr
Bose I have five sewer adjustments here
[15:14] uh requesting approval of these first
one being Andre Pablo at 705 East fth
[15:20] Street was a water line under the house
um we got documentation here from it
[15:26] receipt from where we had it repaired we

[16:24] topping off of the
pool manual adjustments closed
[16:29] uh basically I believe if I remember
correctly what the deal was here there
[16:33] was some estimates by the water company
um so they
[16:38] yeah and they took them off summer
sprinkling credit because of it so
[16:42] getting all that caught back up and got

[17:07] the year um the department put a note in
the system but they forgot to issue the
[17:12] credit so they're now looking for a

[18:07] motion to allow Spud Bank to operate

[18:12] in a second all those in favor signify
with i
[18:16] i motion
carries okay next up I have and this was
[18:23] a
um these were both online or
[18:29] online is not the right word um these
were both virtual votes um these were
[18:35] just a fooding approving food truck
stuff they got them in after the last
[18:39] meeting but had dates that were before
this
[18:42] meeting um so Chick-fil-A of Columbus

[19:05] for Chick-fil-A so those are just
signatures again those have already been
[19:09] approved
[19:13] so uh
miscellaneous
[19:18] from other members ah let me rephrase
that um as most of you know we had an
[19:24] executive session before the
meeting um to deal with Personnel issues
[19:29] um so I will open the floor for
any allowable conversation on that or
[19:37] anything anyone would like how was that
[19:41] for well having having met with
uh officer John Watkins uh and hearing
[19:50] and and we've had several days to to
read the ongoing uh situation
[19:58] upon the recommendation of the complaint
review board I'll make a motion to
[20:03] dismiss the officer in question of his
duties with the city of
[20:09] Seymour it's never an easy decision but
uh trust that the the review board's
[20:15] done their homework and I believe they
have so I will second that motion
[20:19] officer John said they'd spent over 100
hours in the investigation I mean that's
[20:23] uh and it it came as a a five to zero
vote uh for this recommendation
[20:30] so I I think it's been thoroughly
investigated I
[20:35] agree um and I will
Echo um both um Mr early and Mr lucas'
[20:42] statements there it's never an easy
decision um as you set and read through
[20:46] um to familiarize yourself with it
beforehand um but I do have to agree um
[20:52] I think the complaint review board and
the department did an excellent job of
[20:57] investigating um
[21:01] multiple IAS in the process Internal
Affairs investigations in the process so
[21:06] agree so I have a motion and a second
for the dismissal of the officer
[21:11] involved in the um
IA
[21:15] 03 um all those in favor signify with i
i i i all those oppose same sign motion
