for mosquito spray and we've came across
[12:23] a used one that is an employes son's
that he's wanting to get rid of. And
[12:29] it's a 2004
Nissan. And it does have 125,000 miles
[12:35] on, but it's in very good shape. I gave
y'all the blue butt values there. Um,
[12:40] fair condition is 4750,
good condition is 5450, and very good is
[12:47] 5725.
Um, it's actually in very good
[12:51] condition. Um, it uh has recently had
brakes put on it, serviced. Um, and
[13:03] I mean they said that they would take
the fair condition value, the lower end
[13:07] of it, but I just need to see what y'all
would like to do since it's
[13:11] » We need to expand some skills. So,
>> yeah. I mean, the ones that we were
[13:16] looking at because we've been looking
for a used one had been like 15 to 20
[13:21] $30,000
with and those have been like 2015 to
[13:26] 2020 with more miles than that on it.

[14:06] you know, an obligation I've got to deal
with. Uh but other than that, any
[14:11] Saturday between now and July 1st, which
is like the third or fourth Saturdays,
[14:19] » what are those days?
>> Just what would that date be? Not not
[14:23] next Saturday, but the next. I mean,
>> um Okay. Well, this coming up Saturday
[14:26] is the 13th. The next Saturday is the
Saturday before Father's Day, I don't
[14:31] think. Yeah.
>> If anybody probably 27th, the next one
[14:35] is 27th.
>> That's all y'all.
[14:39] Yes.
>> Okay. Let's set it up for that then.
[14:42] » 8:00
[14:45] » 8:00.
>> 8:00.
[14:46] » 8:00
>> and I'll try to have you out of here by
[14:50] about 8:00 that night.
>> Okay. And we will check with
[14:55] Chhattahuchi and
>> and I'll let Alone and Baskam know.
[14:59] » Okay.
>> You know, as we try to get everybody
[15:02] down here when we get that out of the
way.
[15:04] » Yep.
>> Okay.
[15:05] » And have we got to fill out that dreaded
paperwork too? that.
[15:08] » Yeah, I was going to go over that under
my report, but if you want to go ahead
[15:12] and do it,
>> uh, we can the June 27th I'll
[15:18] bring my laptop and actually file mine
while we're here so y'all can see, you
[15:24] know, everything that I do and uh, we'll
work through it that way as part of part
[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.
[15:45] » Sounds like it going to be all right
then.
[15:46] » We'll help you.
>> All right. Let's move on to the next
[15:48] item. The approval of the wastewater
treatment plant permit renewal
[15:52] application.
[15:57] » Better approve it.
Yeah, this is for the annual um is it
[16:02] annual?
>> Yes.
[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.
