1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:12,320
Okay, this is the November 20th,
2025

2
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:17,119
town Board of Shamrock Lakes
general meeting, regular schedule

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:21,359
meeting. Call it to order.
Um,

4
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:30,000
has everybody had a chance to read and
approve the minutes from last month?

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,920
» Uh, can I get a motion to
Make a motion to accept the minutes from

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,920
last meeting.
>> Second.

7
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:43,120
» Second. All in favor?
>> I I

8
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:47,480
Okay. Uh we have two treasures reports.
One is September, one is October.

9
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:56,399
You've had a chance hopefully look at
those. Uh,

10
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,719
do I have a motion to approve those?
>> Move to approve the September and

11
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,960
October treasures reports.
>> Second.

12
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,280
» Okay. All in favor? I.
>> I.

13
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,960
» Okay.
Uh, we've signed our claims for the

14
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,280
month. Uh, Diane,
>> yes.

15
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:20,080
» Pass due and so forth.
>> Yes. Okay. So, um, there are five past

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,560
due accounts. Three of them were letters
sent. the Arley's, the grooms, and the

17
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:33,280
walkers um all had letters sent uh this
month. Um the other past is Klein, and

18
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:37,280
she um texted me yesterday and wants to
pay it off and asked for the balance.

19
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:42,320
So, that might be happening. And then,
uh McVey.

20
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,119
» Okay.
Any leans filed?

21
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,759
» No leans were filed.
>> Okay.

22
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:54,640
Uh like to go into old business. Do we
have a motion to open old business?

23
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,200
» I'll move to open old business.
>> Second.

24
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:03,200
» Okay. All in favor? I
>> I

25
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:13,120
» uh number one online payment options.
>> So for two months, October and November,

26
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:19,599
um we conducted tests of the online
payment system pay

27
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:25,120
and had more success. uh meaning more
participants in November than October.

28
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:30,280
Um
so I'd be curious to hear um

29
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:39,280
sort of when payments actually got
posted um if we want to talk through

30
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:45,599
that. But um for the most part people
seemed

31
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:51,760
a person who said they were not pleased
about the fee. uh the processing fee and

32
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:57,519
so they said I'm never doing this again.
Um I'll go back to paying it the old way

33
00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:01,680
» and I think I'll check my email check my
email but that may have been the same

34
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:07,760
person who said is there a way I can pay
for the whole year

35
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:13,920
» and I said yes. So, um there we may want
to consider on the website um not just

36
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:20,159
having a page for the online bill page,
but also just detail here are some of

37
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:24,640
the ways that um or like a frequently
asked questions about paying bills. Um

38
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,560
that can include, you know, can I pay
the whole year in advance or can I pay

39
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:34,879
more than one month at a time? That kind
of thing. um as we have new residents,

40
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:40,799
they may not realize that's an option if
they want to pursue that. Um that's a

41
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:46,720
really good idea.
>> Um

42
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:53,120
prior to today, D and I were chatting.
Um she felt like it was okay to go

43
00:03:50,959 --> 00:04:00,959
forward with posting it, making it
available to people. Um

44
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:07,599
I think so. Um and Um,
you asked about how the payments were

45
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:13,760
getting posted. Um, so it looks like for
the most part when people are initiate

46
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:19,359
initiating a transaction,
it's getting posted the next day. If

47
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:25,040
it's not if it's through the week,
however, there was one there were two

48
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,639
people. Well, one paid like on the 6th,
one paid on the 7th, and they both were

49
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,720
deposited into the account on the 8th,
and that they was it was the middle of

50
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:37,723
the week. It was like Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday. So, I'm not sure why. So I

51
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,720
would again [snorts and cough]
[clears throat]

52
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:47,280
I would say like we tell people it might
be the next day but I think just to be

53
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:51,759
on the safe side we should you should
allow at least four to five days

54
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:58,240
» because sometimes I think the longest it
has been has been like maybe five days.

55
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:05,680
Um but for the most part it is getting
it is getting deposited into our um

56
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:09,280
accumulating account on on like the next
day.

57
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,639
» So within two days for the most part.
>> Okay.

58
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:19,280
» So and again there's really no way
unless it's an odd amount to kind of

59
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:24,160
tell whose deposit is which. But I do
get reports on who deposited and when

60
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:33,280
they deposited and so I just kind of go
by the dates and I'm just assuming that

61
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:41,919
you know that that they get deposited in
order that they were. So okay, we do

62
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:47,759
have um a page on the website set up.
It's in draft form right now. Um that

63
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:52,479
has [cough]
really kind of minimal information that

64
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:58,320
we've talked about so far. Um the notice
about the fee, the notice about or like

65
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:05,199
the recommendation to pay by the 5th to
make sure it arrives on time. Um the

66
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:11,520
link button um and the list of things
they'll need to have available to them

67
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:15,680
as they go to pay their bill. um it can
be published

68
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:19,840
after this meeting if everyone is
comfortable with that. If there's any

69
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:28,400
other information maybe besides the uh
frequently asked questions to add to

70
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:30,080
that. Um I think now is the time.
>> I'm good with it.

71
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,840
» Okay.
>> Send it.

72
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:39,680
» Do we need to make a motion and vote
that we want to put this

73
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,360
program into
actually circulation.

74
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,360
» I think we should

75
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:54,000
I um do you see a way that it would kind
of fool you or that that two accounts

76
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:59,120
make it flip-flopped or it's not that
big of a deal? Um right now you're

77
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:04,160
you're you're comparing
like best pictures, right? As far as

78
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:12,000
what information you're getting on it is
adding to your workload, but

79
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:17,919
» Oh, for sure. for sure. Um, it is. So, I
would say there is no way to 100%

80
00:07:16,234 --> 00:07:22,400
[clears throat]
>> say that this was that person's unless

81
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:23,759
it's an odd amount.
>> Um,

82
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:31,280
» is there
>> but I say it's pretty I think you can

83
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:34,800
you can comfortably assume that they're
going they're getting deposited in the

84
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:39,280
order that the transaction was
initiated. So, I'm not going to say

85
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:45,520
there would never be some sort of an
issue and really it would only be a

86
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:51,680
really big issue if it were like around
the 10th. Um, the two kind of the two

87
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,599
big things would be the end of the month
because I have to tally up all of the

88
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,680
numbers at the end by the end of the
month. So, if [clears throat] they think

89
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:05,280
that it's going on, you know, on one
month that that's more of a paperwork

90
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:09,440
thing for me. But for the customer, the
big thing is the 10th because, you know,

91
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,960
if it's not even the 10th, it's it's
late. So,

92
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:18,639
» and it's not a train wreck. I mean, if
you would run into that um where it got

93
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:24,080
checked to the wrong account or
something, it's not a big flip-flop or

94
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:27,120
something. I mean, as far as um
>> um

95
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:31,680
» we could do it especi if we had to uh
take a a late fee off or something, we

96
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,599
could do that in the meeting. And and so
there really isn't anything that's going

97
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,640
to
>> Yeah. I don't see anything that's like

98
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:42,719
really going to hurt us. No, I would say
there might be I mean some things we

99
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:48,160
have to talk about at some point,
>> but um it's it's kind of running

100
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:53,200
smoothly. It's just you know
it does add more work, but you know

101
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:59,200
that's just the that's we're just going
to accept that and go on rather worry

102
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:05,279
about that. Are we um and and I'm not
trying to in any way slow this thing

103
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:09,360
down, but um is there a percentage we'd
like to see after a year that makes it

104
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:12,080
worthwhile or you know
>> it doesn't cost us anything

105
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:13,680
» other than
>> other than my time?

106
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:20,240
» Okay.
>> Yeah. Um so it doesn't really cost us

107
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:24,880
anything. The user has to pay a fee in
order to do that. But we don't have to

108
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:30,560
pay a fee. We incur no fees on that.
It's minimal. What is it? Like less than

109
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:35,760
$2. Yeah. If it's if they're paying the
standard $58, it's like a dollar 73 or

110
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,760
something.
>> Yeah. It wasn't very much. But

111
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,080
» so it's convenience is what they're
paying.

112
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:48,196
» It's a convenience for sure.
>> Yeah. But I understand if someone didn't

113
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,216
want to pay, I wouldn't want to pay you.
[laughter]

114
00:09:50,320 --> 00:10:03,920
» Yeah. So, I'll make a motion to um
put into motion or put into action um

115
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:09,839
the online bill pay service payoff make
it active for the full counts.

116
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,279
» Second.
>> All in favor? I

117
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:18,120
» I
Okay, motion carries.

118
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:29,279
Uh I know Steve has been working on the
animal noise ordinance. Um

119
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,320
I don't have any update
>> okay

120
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:37,640
» on it
and the same on the codification. I know

121
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:49,200
he's out of state for family issues. Uh
they did take

122
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:55,279
um the codification stuff and
uh our ordinances with him and he's

123
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:02,440
going to do some work. He'll have some
downtime. So uh no update on

124
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,440
codification.

125
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:12,440
Uh the maintenance projects
have nothing on the building maintenance

126
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:22,000
or Wells Park garage.
I think that'll probably be stagnant

127
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:28,640
till the spring.
>> Uh the crack ceiling that's uh been

128
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:35,200
paid. Everything's good. One of the
things that um

129
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:41,680
I plan on doing, I had already before
uh Mr. Campbell was in here at our last

130
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:47,440
meeting, I talked to EMD Paving about
we've got four or five areas around the

131
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:54,560
town that
the asphalt has failed

132
00:11:50,079 --> 00:12:01,600
» and talk to them about um
coming giving us an estimate.

133
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:07,519
um that next spring that or summer that
they would come in, not grind up the

134
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:11,920
whole road, do that section.
Um

135
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:19,519
and then also the parking area here in
front. Uh my wish is that we will have

136
00:12:16,079 --> 00:12:25,040
those estimates by our December meeting
so we can encumber funds for this year

137
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:32,959
» for that.
And then uh along that lines

138
00:12:30,079 --> 00:12:36,720
uh
we still have the new street signs that

139
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:44,800
need to be put up. I need to go around
it and look at we had bought those

140
00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:48,720
two years ago, the new names and
we need to get new brackets because

141
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:53,600
what's going to happen is those have
been out there so long they're rusted.

142
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,920
» They're not hold tight,
>> right? So, we're going to have to cut

143
00:12:55,839 --> 00:13:05,120
the post,
put a new bracket on there, and uh

144
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:10,560
so before the December meeting, I will
go out and get a uh

145
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:15,440
because there's different posts,
different brackets,

146
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:19,839
» and I'll get an estimate from the sign
company in Muny that we have got the

147
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:25,440
signs from
>> and that way either we can buy them

148
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:29,200
» and install them on weather's good or at
least encumber the funds

149
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:33,200
» to get them
>> as I think just a go and pick them up

150
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:39,360
item.
>> So the other thing um

151
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:45,120
that will look at [cough]
funding dependent is

152
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:49,920
replacing the concrete parking bumpers
here

153
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:54,079
» and maybe incorporating some at Wells
Park.

154
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:59,519
uh
at least for now because and then if we

155
00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:04,800
rework that area, we could pick them up
and move them

156
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:08,399
» like with a forklift or something. So,
uh,

157
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:15,360
as that gets developed, one of my
concerns is the lift station

158
00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:20,480
if golf carts and bicycles and all that
because it's PVC piping coming up.

159
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:25,199
» And I don't I don't want a kid leaning
his bike against that.

160
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,320
» So, we'll look at some ways of kind of
hardening that.

161
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:34,399
Um,
>> would we want to look into getting

162
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:39,680
parking spots painted if we redo the
parking lot out here?

163
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:49,279
» Yes. And I think uh I would like to do a
designated handicap spot as well.

164
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:58,160
» So, yeah. And I uh EMD can do that. They
may subcontract it, but but yeah, that

165
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:58,160
yes, very much so. Yes.

166
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:05,120
Uh
Wells Park budget.

167
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,120
» No.
>> Okay.

168
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:18,560
Uh the animal shelter litter drive this
Saturday.

169
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:26,880
Notice went out with uh the sewer bills
and also people have paid ahead. Dian

170
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:35,120
dropped a notice in the mail to them. um
for this Saturday to have it out by 9

171
00:15:31,199 --> 00:15:43,120
a.m. and uh
D and I'll go out in the morning

172
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:48,000
Saturday and uh pick it up. So, and
Kelly's been in touch with the shelter

173
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:55,399
and he'll get us the contact numbers
there that once we gather it then we can

174
00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:55,399
drop it by. So,

175
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:04,160
Uh,
number seven, Rachel's name.

176
00:16:02,079 --> 00:16:08,720
» U,
I have not had a chance to talk to

177
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:14,000
anybody to see if they're interested in
your seat. Diane and I have been

178
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:22,511
talking. We have a couple people that we
want to talk to and see. So, uh,

179
00:16:17,839 --> 00:16:29,120
» nobody has responded to
[snorts] the town's email about that.

180
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:35,279
I sent out another announcement about it
this afternoon. Um,

181
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:40,480
though that doesn't go to everybody in
town. So, hopefully

182
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:44,240
respond sooner than you can talk to the
people that you're interested in as

183
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,279
well. If there's anything else that I
can do that could be helpful,

184
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,519
Okay,
>> we've asked at least one person who

185
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:55,519
declined. So, [laughter]
>> and I [clears throat]

186
00:16:53,920 --> 00:17:01,120
if you know of someone who may be
interested obviously they can see the

187
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:05,919
meetings, go back and see them
>> at least parts of them, but it'd be nice

188
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:08,480
to get them here for the December
meeting. [clears throat]

189
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:11,480
» That way they get a feel for
>> it.

190
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:20,760
I hope they
Don't know too many people. Few people I

191
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,760
moved away.

192
00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:26,280
» Okay.
Uh

193
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,320
motion to close all business.
>> I move to close old business.

194
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:37,039
» Second.
>> Okay. All in favor? I

195
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:40,960
» I
move to open new business.

196
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:48,320
» Thank you,
>> Kelly. Second. Okay. In favor I

197
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:53,360
» uh first one we have is on new
businesses insurance

198
00:17:50,640 --> 00:18:00,559
workers comp forms.
>> Okay. Um so

199
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:06,000
one thing I need
from you guys

200
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:13,280
um is to sign this is for the reference
compet if you want the information or if

201
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:19,200
you want the uh to be covered or not. Um
and so if you don't want to be covered

202
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:22,559
there's a place up here if you don't
want to be covered. They've already

203
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,960
marked it down here with me. And if you
do want to be covered, it's down just

204
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:31,919
signed clear at the bottom. So that's
yours. And they sent these to me.

205
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:37,679
» Can you explain the cost?
>> The cost is like I think the bill was

206
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:41,280
500. We'll get to that in a second. Was
>> okay.

207
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,480
» Uh like 530 $28
>> for the group

208
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:49,760
» for the group. And if that would have
been if that was to cover just me or

209
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:56,320
that would have been that to cover all
of us. So there's no additional cost

210
00:18:54,559 --> 00:19:01,280
» and no cost [clears throat] sign.
>> Yes. And no cost to the individuals.

211
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:06,160
» That's correct. No cost to individuals.
>> Is Travis had did you do one?

212
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:10,320
» He's not an employee. He's also he's a
contractor. [laughter]

213
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:14,320
» Since I am off.
>> I mean that's just up to you if you want

214
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:18,960
to be covered for month. Yeah.
>> You do whatever you feel like you want

215
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:25,600
to do. I'm looking not being covered but
I'm not seeing where um right here where

216
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:32,760
it says signature of corporate officer
>> and then just mark I am an officer but I

217
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:32,760
elect not to be an employee

218
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,160
20

219
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:03,679
And the next thing is premium transfer
of funds.

220
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:08,559
» Yes. And so, um, because when we've
talked about this before, because the

221
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:17,520
premiums went up so much, so, uh, our
budget in the town is, um, is depleted

222
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:25,520
for this. Um, and so what I did, cuz
this workman's comp bill was due uh on

223
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:30,159
the 17th, so I paid that out of the
um sewer bill because we're going to

224
00:20:28,159 --> 00:20:37,679
split that 5050 with the sewer in the
town. So, what I need is a motion to

225
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:43,039
transfer $264, which is half of the 528
from the town operating

226
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:49,440
um account, the line item item number
423 to the town insurance to cover that

227
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,320
$264 check that I need to write to
reimburse the sewer.

228
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:59,919
» Does that make sense?
>> Yeah, it does. Okay. So, I'll move

229
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:07,000
um to transfer $264
from the town operating account to town

230
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
insurance

231
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:12,640
versus the town.
>> Second.

232
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,640
» All in favor?
>> I

233
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,799
thank you.
Okay.

234
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:31,520
I was going to say next thing we have is
contracts

235
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:36,080
and these are annual contracts that we
have.

236
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:42,640
» So we'll vote on each one individually
as we go through. So

237
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:46,480
» um so I emailed most of them to you. I
don't know if you had a chance to look

238
00:21:43,919 --> 00:21:51,120
at them so I can go briefly. Um but
basically we just need to make a motion

239
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:56,080
if we want to accept these. So, I sent
the one to uh Alpha Snow Real. We'll

240
00:21:53,840 --> 00:22:02,240
talk about them first and they approved
anyone.

241
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:07,559
So, um if you guys don't have any um any
questions about that one, we can go

242
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,559
ahead and make a motion.

243
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,039
Anybody?
>> Well, I would

244
00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:18,080
» I [clears throat] didn't have a chance
to read them in detail.

245
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:22,960
» Okay,
we'll talk about this. Um,

246
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,120
» on alpha snow removal, it's the same.
>> We're paying the same as we did last

247
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:28,320
year.
>> Okay.

248
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:33,679
» And it's it's just all we did is change
the dates.

249
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:39,919
» Okay. Well, then I would move to accept
the contract for from office

250
00:22:37,679 --> 00:22:42,960
as written.
>> Second.

251
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:47,600
» All in favor say I.
>> I. I.

252
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:51,280
I move that we accept the best way
disposable

253
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:55,840
2026.
>> Let me because I don't think Rachel had

254
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:59,440
a chance to look them over. So Okay. Um
they did

255
00:22:57,919 --> 00:23:03,600
um
let me finish this.

256
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:11,280
Was it like $10?
>> Um, yeah. So, they did raise their rates

257
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:16,960
um like 3%.
Um, which I think raised the whole thing

258
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:24,559
like the monthly charge
like about um

259
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:30,400
it was $1860. So, like not even $100, I
don't think. [clears throat]

260
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:36,840
So, but now their monthly charge is 19
$1,915.80.

261
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,840
It was $1,860,

262
00:23:37,679 --> 00:23:44,679
I think. Something like that. You know
what? We can look at this.

263
00:23:47,261 --> 00:23:49,281
[clears throat]

264
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,679
» 100 $1,86018.
[clears throat]

265
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,360
So,
>> so $50.

266
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:03,200
» Yeah. Per month
>> increase.

267
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:07,440
» Like if you can do math and
>> you're fine. [laughter]

268
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:15,279
» I got a I got a calculator here. No.
>> So that is so there are no other changes

269
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:20,799
just that. So no, sorry, Kelly.
>> I make a motion that we accept best ways

270
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,799
contract for
2026.

271
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,080
All in favor?
>> I I

272
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:43,960
um Blackford County Animal Shelter. Are
they asking for more? They are not. Same

273
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,960
amount as last last year.

274
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:51,240
Then I will move to accept Blackford
County Animal Shelter Contract.

275
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:57,400
moved and seconded. All in favor? I
>> I

276
00:24:57,919 --> 00:25:10,799
» Okay. Trinity Lawn Services did um ask
for it. They did not raise our fees from

277
00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:16,159
20 2024 and and 2025. So, we paid the
same in those two years. So, they did

278
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:24,480
raise it like 3% this year. So, it's
going from

279
00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:31,520
$440 a bow to $465 a bow.
>> Okay. So,

280
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:36,320
» I make a motion that we accept the 20 26
Trinity Lawn Service contract.

281
00:25:35,337 --> 00:25:41,720
[clears throat]
>> I'll second.

282
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,720
» All in favor? I

283
00:25:41,919 --> 00:25:45,400
motion carries.

284
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:56,000
Okay.
And um Travis um I think we have an

285
00:25:53,679 --> 00:26:03,440
agreement with him that we give him the
standard cola raise which was uh uh

286
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:10,960
2.8%.
And so that is taking him from

287
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:15,320
$1,210
to like $1,424

288
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:22,200
something like that.
I'll move to approve

289
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,799
contract increase.
>> Uh second

290
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:36,963
» moved and seconded. All in favor? I
>> I

291
00:26:34,943 --> 00:26:36,963

292
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,320
was all of our contracts.

293
00:26:54,593 --> 00:27:03,919
[clears throat and cough]
>> Anybody new business? Anything else?

» Are we doing a carry?
[laughter]

298
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:32,000
» We would invite everybody to come in
their festive colors. [clears throat]

299
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:36,240
do that.
>> We can maybe bring some treats.

» this meeting is adjourned.
All right.
