[15:30] of your training. >> Sounds good. I've already done mine and

[15:32] really all you had to do is if if everything was pretty much the same was

[15:36] to click a button that it would populate the stuff that was already in there. So

[15:39] really wasn't hard even I did it. >> I've already done mine

[15:42] » already. All right. >> Me too.

[16:04] » Yeah. >> Okay. This is for the wastewater

[16:07] treatment plant um application permit. And um Melvin is helping us with

[16:13] this. And so as you can see there how much it is. I just need approval for

[16:17] them to do this.

[16:25] » Well, we definitely got we definitely got to have it. Yeah,

[16:29] » I think we did a lot of the work ourselves. Um I think another town in

[16:33] the in the county did theirs and theirs was 48 or $49,000.

[16:39] So ours was quite a lot. It's it's a lot of money, but it's something we have to

[16:43] have done. >> This may be a fiveyear permit.

[16:48] » Yeah, because it says right here, uh I guess the last one was 19. So

[16:53] » that ain't too much of an increase yet. >> Yeah, I like gas. I think it's five

[16:57] fiveyear permit. It may be a 10. >> Pleasure to council.

[17:01] » I'm going go ahead and offer a motion to uh approve the treatment plant renewal

[17:06] permit application. >> I have a motion by Mr. Perry to approve

[17:11] the application process fees. Do I have a second?

[17:15] » Second. Okay. All in favor say I. All >> thank you. part of ordinance or

[17:22] resolution number 26-06 approval for Poke Street paving project.

[17:30] And I've uh got the resolution agree by title. It's a resolution of the town of

[17:35] Sneeeds, Florida, authorizing town manager, council president, and town

[17:40] clerk to execute the Florida Department of Transportation local agency program

[17:47] agreement for participation in the municipal small community outreach

[17:50] program, MSCOP, Pope Street Project, all required future grant documents,

[17:56] providing an effective date. And um I guess in in Pope Street we're

[18:01] actually going to have sidewalks >> or just drainage and and paving.

[18:06] » I think drainage and paving. >> Okay.

[18:12] » On both sides. >> What you done?

[18:15] » Sidewalks. Did you say >> no? No, no, no.

[18:17] » I didn't think there was room for them, but it was in the you know the template

[18:22] » resolution. So I was just getting clarification for me. This is for

[18:26] resurfacing and reconstructing uh Pope Street and its associated

[18:32] drainage facilities. >> It'll be from from um Cemetery Avenue to

[18:36] the River Road. I I got an email today from the Department of Transportation.

[18:40] They It's all been set. We need to send in a resolution and sign a contract and

[18:44] then they'll do the rest of the work. The money will be accessible after the 1

[18:49] of July and then it goes to the Ben and you know more about that than I do. Um,

[18:54] you want you want to say a few words about it?

[19:00] » So, I'm not sure exactly, you know, when the money if we need to start before or

[19:04] after that, but I can talk with the guys at the office and it'll be a it's going

[19:08] to be a pretty simple design and I don't see it taking real long. So, in the

[19:12] bidding process, I come out there. We'll handle all that and go ahead and get

[19:16] that knocked out because I'm ready to not beat my front end off whenever I'm

[19:19] going through through there to >> It's terrible.

[19:24] » So, be looking at finish by the end of the year.

[19:28] » That's possible. >> That's I hope so. Um I'm trying to get

[19:32] everything done. We're going to wait for the resolution of next month. I said,

[19:34] "No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're going to do it this month. I don't want to

[19:37] wait till till y'all meet meet again. So, we get the resolutions and all the

[19:40] paperwork back. Then the money gets released in July and then it's up to the

[19:44] the the um engineers to do the engineering and then the bidding and

[19:49] then they can once it's announced and they can go ahead and start to work.

[19:53] » We need a motion in Go ahead. >> I just got a question.

[19:58] » But what about the flood project? Are they go will that be done before they

[20:03] pave >> together on that?

[20:07] » I think they talked about working together on that. The the construction

[20:11] and the people with the storm water will work together to kind of alleviate any

[20:16] problems that they may have. So hopefully

[20:19] » we've done we've done a couple different things like that where we work together

[20:23] with different firms when they come through and do for example we can match

[20:27] that. Sometimes the road get repaved, but we'll we'll make sure we all, you

[20:32] know, make sure the right direction. >> I think what you might be most worried

[20:37] about is where are the cross drains going to be located? Maybe getting them

[20:41] in place before, >> you know, we do the paving.

[20:45] » I think on on the west side toward where K is, there's there's some coming down

[20:48] that hill, there's some flooding problems right there. And I think that's

[20:52] that's right on. >> Yeah. And I I don't know how much of

[20:57] that will be done with the storm water thing, but we can maybe work with y'all

[21:00] to alleviate some of that whenever they're doing the

[21:03] » Yeah. Yes. >> Yes. He's doing the storm water part.

[21:09] » Yes. Yes. >> All right. Need a motion to approve the

[21:14] resolution as >> I make a motion to approve resolution

[21:19] 26-06. >> Motion by Mr. Fair to that effect. Have

[21:23] a second. >> A second. Second by saying that was most

[21:29] » you got anything on recreation you want to speak about?

[21:32] » Um just want to say that they had a great year this year. They're in the um

[21:37] um >> what is it called?

[21:39] » I think district. >> The district. I was trying to think of

[21:42] the word. Um they beat Mariana yesterday. I mean one of our level

[21:47] groups and I don't know what age group it was and and they're playing again

[21:51] tonight. if they beat Liberty County, they go to state. And so I think they're

[21:55] doing really well and baseball season went well and they're doing well in the

[22:00] in the playoffs. >> Good deal. Thank you, sir.

[22:03] » And and again, I want to commend them for the all the extra stuff that they

[22:06] do. It's really been amazing. >> All right. If you ain't got nothing

[22:10] else, we move on to the town attorney. >> We've already covered everything I have

[22:15] for you tonight. >> Sounds good. Chief, you got anything you

[22:18] want to >> Yes, sir. So, uh, this past Tuesday when

[22:23] we had graduation, that went really well. Um, Mr. W allowed everybody to use

[22:29] city hall as overflow. Um, my recommendation would be to do

[22:34] that in the future when they use the gym when they have bad weather because we

[22:40] got a lot of space and it worked out fine because what happens is they back

[22:43] up and we've had in the past, but they tried to park in front of the fire

[22:47] department, >> right? People didn't do that this year

[22:50] since we allowed to be overflowed around city hall. We had a lot of space here.

[22:54] » Good deal. >> And uh

[22:57] I know y'all probably curious about what's going on with the trucks. We got

[23:01] two trucks that are in the shop. One of them has been fixed, but it had to go

[23:07] back. The other one is going to cost quite a bit of money to fix, but I just

[23:13] have not picked those up yet. One of them won't allow are circulating into

[23:18] the cabin of the vehicle. That's the white expedition.

[23:22] The brown expedition, you have to put water in it in a few days. U apparently

[23:28] we've gotten word that it it may be better for us to just run them like they

[23:32] are. I just hadn't had a chance to pick them up,

[23:35] but >> run them like they are.

[23:38] » That is correct. Or take them someplace else or take them someplace else to get

[23:42] them fixed. town had talked to me about him and said that the one he's got to

[23:46] take the whole dash off and get in there and he just said he wasn't able to do

[23:49] that. >> Oh, okay.

[23:50] » So, it's either, you know, it's either either put water in it every three days

[23:53] or take it someplace else. He said it would be probably three four $5,000 to

[23:58] get >> Is that the best two vehicles we we got?

[24:00] » That's it. And and of course, the one I'm in now. So, we have we have three

[24:06] function and patrol vehicles. And then the white unmarked.

[24:10] » And the where the white unmarked is been turned over to maintenance.

[24:14] » Yeah. >> Yeah.

[24:15] » Been turned over to maintenance. >> Yeah. We turned that over to maintenance

[24:19] few months back. >> How many How many vehicles old vehicles

[24:25] have we still got that could be done away with? We done away with all of

[24:28] them. >> Yeah. I'm going to have that um ready

[24:31] for surplus. I've got the list ready. I was waiting to find out about these

[24:35] other two. >> Right. Okay. um what we were going to

[24:38] do, but I had the list ready to be advertised so that we can open them at

[24:43] next month's meeting the bids. >> Can we go ahead and get somebody to

[24:47] check one of those bill? I mean, so he'll have something to depend on. I

[24:50] mean, >> we can do that.

[24:51] » I mean, you know, then >> we can take it to the floor for

[24:53] » We could take it to the floor. >> Yeah,

[24:55] » we need to we need to get something that's safe and something that's, you

[24:59] know, summertime here. Don't need nothing running around here without no

[25:02] air conditioning. >> That's tough right there. So yeah, we'll

[25:05] move forward with that. And like I said, when you get all that list together,

[25:08] we're going to try to surplus sale those seal.

[25:12] » We have uh several police vehicles, all of the old old ones. And then uh Gary

[25:18] has two trucks, >> okay,

[25:19] » he wants to get rid of. Um and I think he said he might have some

[25:25] lawnmowers. I'm not for sure. >> Okay.

[25:27] » Um so I'm waiting to hear back from him on that.

[25:31] » All right. >> Um can I ask one more thing? Since I'm

[25:35] speaking right now on a different subject, um I want to go ahead and talk

[25:39] about the August meeting. Um they're going to be having early voting in here.

[25:44] So, I just want to go ahead and get it scheduled to change the council meeting

[25:48] from here to the lock cabin for the August meeting. That'll be August 11th.

[25:53] We'll change that council meeting to the log cabin

[25:56] » or change the date. >> Well, they'll be in here until

[26:00] » they'll be in here for 10 days. >> Yeah. That be fine. So, we'll change the

[26:05] council meeting to the log cabin on August 11th.

[26:08] » Okay, >> that's a good idea.

[26:09] » Sounds good. >> Okay. Um, you got anything?

[26:15] » Nothing. >> Okay.

[26:16] » No, sir. >> Nothing.

[26:17] » I'm I'm going to mention something from the fire department. Russell's with his

[26:21] wife who got stuck in the doctor's office. He just said they've been real

[26:24] busy and they're hard at it. >> Hard.

[26:26] » I told him I'd pass. >> Yeah. They do they do a good job, too.

[26:29] And appreciate what you're doing, Chief. >> Yes, sir. Just keep in mind, don't just

[26:33] wear yourself out, >> you know. And uh we appreciate what

[26:37] you're doing, though, and it means a lot.

[26:43] Mr. Le,

[26:50] » thank you for allowing me to come up and speak on behalf of First Ladies of

[26:53] Sneeeds. Um this year truly marks um a historical occasion being the 250th

[26:59] anniversary of our nation um across the communities and the country. We're

[27:06] finding more meaningful ways to commemorate this milestone and preserve

[27:11] um the history for future generations. And tonight I'm asking um the town of

[27:16] Sneeze to partner with the um first ladies of Sneeze in creating a more

[27:21] lasting legacy for our community through the burial of a time capsule. Um our

[27:27] vision is simple but powerful. We want to capture um a snapshot of sne um in

[27:34] today's time for 50 years from now when they're um when it's the 300th

[27:39] anniversary for our kids. Um unfortunately some of us will not be

[27:44] around in 50 years but I think it would be a great opportunity for you know our

[27:50] children our children's children to look back on today and see what um the work

[27:56] was put in see about our small businesses see about our church our

[28:01] community organizations see how all of you gave to service and see how everyone

[28:08] is working together and and put that so I've already contacted um some of the

[28:14] churches and some of the businesses um these longtime standing businesses in

[28:19] the town and the community to um put together some items in the time

[28:25] capsule. I've already ordered a time capsule. Um, I would like to see it

[28:30] placed on the town property and maybe have a um a stone, a placard somewhere

[28:37] that you know is clearly visible and um see if y'all were interested in joining

[28:43] the first lady's needs and something like that.

[28:46] » I think it's it'll be a great idea and >> I agree.

[28:50] » Well, you you y you y you y you y you y you y you y you y you y you y you y'all

[28:52] had in mind putting it somewhere on town property maybe somewhere around town

[28:55] hall somewhere. >> Yes. I thought I thought, you know, this

[28:57] would be a great place to put it and um and just put to be opened, you know, in

[29:02] 50 years on July 4th. Um there it's kind of, you know, we can either I would like

[29:08] to bury it that morning of Fourth of July, you know, to where it could be

[29:13] exactly 50 years. It doesn't have to be a huge ceremony with, you know, a lot of

[29:18] time spent because I know a lot of people have their own plans. Um, I do

[29:23] want to mention that we've got um a really important document that we have

[29:29] found we've become very fond of and it's from Katie May Walters that she written

[29:35] and we've got the handwritten copy of it that was gifted to us.

[29:39] » That's a lot of information. >> Yes. And you are mentioned quite a lot

[29:43] in it just from your years of service and things like that. And so we would

[29:48] like to preserve that and place it in that um time capsule

[29:54] » and just let that be, you know, preserved for 50 more years. And

[29:59] anything else that you seem, you know, important and preserving and it things

[30:05] to put in there would be on a first come first serve basis and then you know the

[30:10] level of importance. >> What have y'all got in mind as far as a

[30:14] small vault or something to put And I mean something.

[30:17] » No, I've got I've got like a 23 inch long um time capsule and I kind of went

[30:23] ahead and thought ahead and I had it engraved with the town of needs and

[30:28] first ladies of needs. Um so because I couldn't imagine any of y'all not

[30:34] thinking that that would be a great idea. Yeah. So

[30:36] » will that be something that you'll very direct or

[30:39] » No, I think I'm going to get with Cfords and see if they would like put it in a

[30:44] nice vault. Yeah. to like preserve that and you know maybe

[30:49] » stuff in. >> Yes. And then maybe put that on display,

[30:52] you know, for hopefully at the 300th that they would do something the same.

[30:58] » Yeah. The vault could be used, you know, after 50 years is coming. They could use

[31:02] somebody could use it again, you know. >> Yes.

[31:04] » I think it's a good idea to work with them on. What y'all think?

[31:06] » I want to be the one to open it.

[31:11] » I'll make sure. Hey, well, his dad did the 103 over

[31:16] here. >> That's a good great idea, though.

[31:20] » Thank you. >> I think it's a great idea.

[31:22] » Yeah. Maybe like around the flag pole or something.

[31:25] » Just check with us and we'll get it all set up and we'll we'll work with that.

[31:29] Okay. >> Absolutely.

[31:30] » Thank you. I appreciate your support.

[31:35] » Anybody else? Audience got anything they want to bring to our attention tonight?

[31:39] If not, I want to entertain a motion to adjourn.

[31:40] » I'd like that. John Mesjer by Mr. Barry.
