1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:08,600
Okay, parents.
>> All right, we are back in open session.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:14,520
I would like to report that no formal
action was taken during closed session.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:18,560
So, then moving on to the next item on
our agenda is reports.

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,040
Uh the zoning code enforcement reports
are from Steve Holgren. Those are just

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,520
for your information only. We are no
discussion required on that.

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,440
» I have a question on that though.
>> Okay.

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,080
» We had a meeting earlier to put a
moratorium on the signs.

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,680
Reports all mention signs that are
signs were

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,440
whatever given. Each month we we approve
signs. And I thought we had a moratorium

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,080
on that. So, I'm a little confused.
Certain types of signs, right?

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:52,360
» Yes, sir. I can answer that. Um
So, the the sign moratorium was for

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:56,120
digital and off-premise signage.
So,

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,520
stationary, non-digital, on-premise
advertising. So, uh perfect example of

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,239
that would be Crystal Runck's Thrillers
News Studio she just built.

15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,800
We did approve a a sign. That's one of
the approved sign permits that you see

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,000
on there.
For her building sign. Uh if you would

17
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:14,600
like a copy of the uh
uh

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:19,920
resolution that you guys approved, I can
certainly email it out to you, but it

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:23,240
was for digital and off-premise signage.
>> I don't know if that's general or if

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:28,280
anything is tied to her building.
>> I I I'll I'll can get you the resolution

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,280
that that you that you approved. I'll
send it out to you guys.

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:41,840
» Uh question on these reports. Todd, um
I had asked to put on the next agenda or

23
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:45,640
two or you know
uh

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,200
having a full report given. Is this what
this was

25
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:53,200
fulfilling?
>> I guess I misunderstood you. I Steve had

26
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:57,800
been offering monthly reports
that we were linking to agendas.

27
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,040
And him and I had failed to get that
done. So, when you asked, that's what I

28
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,960
got. If you want him to come before the
council, I certainly can.

29
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,520
» Well, the only thing that I would like
more information on

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:14,320
these reports don't deal with that. And
that is is what is where are we at with

31
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,680
these
enforcement of and new nuisance

32
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,040
abatement
activity.

33
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:27,480
This is just saying that the activity
happened. This is what I did

34
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:31,480
to get the activity going.
But, I don't know where it's at. I don't

35
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,680
know whether we were successful, we
aren't successful. I want to get it I

36
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:39,400
want to get that kind of information.
Now, he can do that through this

37
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:45,160
reporting, fine.
But, I need that's what I'm looking for.

38
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:50,840
Because people are asking me in my ward
what's happening on these situations

39
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,800
that they feel are important to be
addressed, and I don't even know where

40
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:59,959
we're at with it.
You know, I can call Steve each time.

41
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:03,000
Uh but, I would think that
Steve could offer some kind of

42
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,040
» So, so
>> status.

43
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:12,560
» So, if if I'm hearing you correctly,
going forward you would like his reports

44
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,200
to offer
>> the status

45
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:21,360
» address addresses the type of nuisance
and whether or not we have successfully

46
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:27,080
abated said nuisance.
>> That would be the kind of detail that I

47
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:31,800
would need to answer questions from my
constituents in the ward.

48
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Okay.
>> I can say that as a general rule, his

49
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,760
approach is
kind of a

50
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:46,360
soft contact
of some sort.

51
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:50,840
And then it'll ramp up to formal letters
and attempt follow up.

52
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,760
And then
at some point, if there's not adequate

53
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:01,840
progress as determined by the city,
then it goes to should we file some type

54
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:07,320
of legal action. So, there are multiple
phases, and depending on

55
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:11,760
how receptive the landowner is, it will
impact not the only variable, but will

56
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,959
impact the time frame. Because sometimes
there'll be like a little bit of

57
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,720
progress,
what about this? What about this?

58
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:22,400
Sometimes there
letters don't get delivered. So,

59
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:27,000
I just tell you, there's multiple steps.
>> Letters get returned in the mail.

60
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:31,800
» The easy part about nuisance abatement
is recognizing a nuisance and sending a

61
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:37,360
letter. The extremely hard part about
nuisance abatement is chasing down

62
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:42,360
landlords, renters, property owners in
general, and getting them to comply.

63
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,480
Um
our compliance

64
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:52,320
rate is not I can guarantee you is not
as high as what you would hope it to be.

65
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:59,200
» I've looked into this a little bit
a few months ago, and I drove around to

66
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,200
a couple other towns, and I looked up
their

67
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,919
stuff on their website, and I know
I in Tucson, they find people.

68
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,520
So, grass isn't mowed, $25 fine, or $50
fine, or whatever.

69
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:17,800
So, and what if they just throw those
letters in the wastebasket, I think?

70
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,840
» And well, we have mowed some, and we
have assessed the cost of those mowing

71
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:26,520
to property owners.
In review right now, it's in Mike's

72
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,760
office for review. The intent is if it's
ends up to be something we want to move

73
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:34,000
forward with, it would be adopted by
council over the winter.

74
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:39,760
But in in review right now, Peter
something similar to what you're talking

75
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:43,040
about when it comes to grass and weed
nuisance abatement.

76
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,720
So,
>> I hope so, because I don't think we have

77
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,960
any teeth the way it is.
>> Well, we

78
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:52,960
we do. It's just I think that the
>> I'd rather have it not take three months

79
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:57,680
though.
>> time in which it takes to go through the

80
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,920
current required processes
on things like grass which happens to

81
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,280
grow in the summer.
>> Yeah, correct.

82
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:10,040
And my request is not coming from a
position that I don't think that things

83
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:15,240
are going right. It's just from a
position that I don't have access to the

84
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,240
information

85
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:22,160
when I need to to address a constituent.
So

86
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:26,919
» I'll pick up
highway old 60 restaurant.

87
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:30,440
You know, we've had the track they went
and they cut the weeds down and then I

88
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,480
called Todd and said that thing's gotten
terrible again. He said I'll give the

89
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:39,320
guy a call again. We don't need a city
manager or city manager pro tem or

90
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:42,880
whatever having to call on weeds. We
need to figure out a system that it gets

91
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:47,400
pushed way down
and we could just execute. And so that's

92
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,960
where where And we've got celebration
days this weekend and and I'm sorry

93
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,320
parts of this town this town looks like
heck

94
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,720
with the weeds that aren't getting cut
and and we have no teeth on that either.

95
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:02,680
So hopefully over the winter or before
um we get some things on there that we

96
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,919
can delegate that way below Utah and
decide whether or not we'll get it

97
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:10,440
enforced.
a weed call.

98
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:14,840
» Fair enough.
>> And well, I'll ask you to modify his

99
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,680
reports. That shouldn't be
It shouldn't be too big of a deal.

100
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,320
They're just going to get substantially
longer, but that's okay.

101
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,280
» Appreciate it. Thank you.
>> Yep.

102
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,919
» Anything else on zoning and code
enforcement?

103
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,160
All right, moving on then to
comments.

104
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Anything from you Todd further?
>> Uh just a reminder highway 18 is closed.

105
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:43,360
I'm sure everybody loves that. Uh
initially I was told that closure would

106
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:48,000
end on Friday 9/4. It is now looking
like that that closure will end in the

107
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,000
morning hours of Saturday night five.
So,

108
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,640
it doesn't look like they're going to
get the asphalt laid

109
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,040
until late on Friday requiring the
closure to last through Friday

110
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:02,520
through the overnight hours. And then
just a reminder as our culvert project

111
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:06,240
uh continues, we are anticipating a
closure around

112
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,480
9/14
um for approximately 1 month in the same

113
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,600
location of Highway 18.
We'll put stuff out on our social media

114
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,080
accounts and what like we did before,
but that one will be

115
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,240
lengthy.
>> Same detour?

116
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:24,040
» Yes.
>> Okay.

117
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:27,800
Uh what just different local access
availability. Yeah.

118
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,680
» All right, nothing further.
>> And, anything?

119
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,680
» No, thank you.
>> Micah?

120
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,800
» No, thank you.
>> All right.

121
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:36,120
Council to my left.
>> Okay.

122
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,479
» Nothing.
>> To my right?

123
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:43,159
» Yeah, I have a couple of things, a few
things actually. Um so, this is simply

124
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,360
for information to consider for next
meeting and to be added to next meeting

125
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:52,440
agenda.
Um I had a meeting with the Children's

126
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:57,280
World board and they are
asking about the buy-down funding that

127
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:01,760
we have we set aside the
funds for that. And so, if anybody has

128
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,200
any thoughts or opinions on what that
looks like,

129
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:08,200
I'd really like to know what your
thoughts and opinions are so that we can

130
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:12,000
work on getting that um funding
available for them.

131
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:17,360
Um and then
at our last SEDC board meeting, they

132
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:22,640
discussed goal planning and strategic
planning. Um they are working towards

133
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,240
getting that arranged and wondered if
the city wanted to

134
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:31,280
join them in that like we've done in the
past. So, just something to consider.

135
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,440
Um and then the last thing that I have
is if you haven't checked out the mural

136
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,280
project
on the corner

137
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,120
» it
>> So, there's a new mural downtown and it

138
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,800
looks really cool. So.
>> It It looks really cool.

139
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,800
» So, with the Children's World, do you
have a

140
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:51,000
the same model as last year or do you
have a new model?

141
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:55,600
» Um I'm open to anything that anybody has
to discuss on that. We uh our

142
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,200
what we had decided was we were not
going to go with the same model and

143
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:02,200
that's why we
agreed on the funding as long as we

144
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:06,400
didn't go with that. Um
>> So, does Children's World have model

145
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:11,400
that they want to go with?
>> No, they're leaving that to the

146
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:16,800
discretion of the city because because
they it's our funds and so they want us

147
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,040
to be able to say how we want to use it.
So.

148
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:26,800
» I I think we can give them some
feedback. I don't think we can give them

149
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:33,280
an approved, quote unquote,
uh unless I'm unless I'm mistaken, but I

150
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,120
Oh, who do I We direct our comments to
you then?

151
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,040
» Yep.
>> Okay. Thank you.

152
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:42,760
This was one of my comments, but while
we're on the subject, I have a thank you

153
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,400
here from Chris and Jessica Van Otterloo
to the city of Sheldon.

154
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,480
We wanted to say thank you as we were
one of the families that was able to

155
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,839
take advantage of the pilot program at
Children's World.

156
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:57,120
We are so lucky to have such a well-run
daycare in Sheldon to send our son to.

157
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:01,160
We are grateful for the support the city
provided to help offset some of the cost

158
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,960
with the first year of daycare.
Thank you again for the assistance and

159
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:09,880
continued support the city provides to
Children's World.

160
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:13,080
So, it is appreciated.
My turn?

161
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:17,240
» Your turn.
>> I'd ask that in the next agenda we

162
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,240
include some discussion on
if we're going to pay Brad's legal bill

163
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,839
and if we do, how we would go about
paying that. It's been

164
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,560
in the back burner long enough we need
to to bring it to front. I get asked by

165
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,920
people in the community about it, so I
just like to be

166
00:11:28,839 --> 00:11:35,360
done. And also, as a councilman, I want
to know what kind of protection I have

167
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:40,120
if I find myself in a situation where I
feel I can need legal counsel

168
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,120
as a councilman.

169
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,080
» Okay.
And that

170
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,280
That's all?
>> Yeah.

171
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:51,880
» All right.
>> Uh the only other thing I wanted to

172
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:54,760
comment on was uh we have a
person in our midst who is a grandma

173
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,720
once again.
Congratulations, Chantel.

174
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,880
» Thank you.
>> You're not old enough to be a grandma.

175
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,600
» I am.
>> How did that work?

176
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:06,480
» I believe I'm a grandma of the whole
town. I'm a grandma of the whole

177
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,400
» Oh, I didn't hear about that one.
Congratulations to you as well.

178
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,400
» Thank you.
>> First one?

179
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,160
» First one.
>> Well, congratulations to both of you.

180
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,280
» Thank you.
>> Yeah. Hope you got a grandchild fund.

181
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,400
That was one thing we didn't plan for.
>> All right.

182
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,160
» Babies everywhere.
>> Yeah.

183
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,440
» I had nothing to do with it.
>> Make a motion.

184
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,280
» With that
>> Make a motion.

185
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,120
» Okay, we have a motion.

00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,000
» Bikers.
>> Hi.

192

» Thank you.
