[9:39] Mhm.

[14:47] » It's like why is everybody crying? Let's

[14:48] stop crying.

[14:55] » Oh my god.

[14:56] >> Every single thing.

[14:57] >> Yeah.

[15:01] so funny.

[15:03] So is that going to be a

[15:08] » I don't.

[15:09] >> But still okay?

[15:11] Yeah.

[15:23] » What are you going to follow me to the

[15:24] next?

[15:26] I have a

[15:27] Our dog would need to run inside. Do you

[15:30] know that?

[15:33] » Okay, my sister has a house in

[15:39] » Almost hit a rattlesnake last night.

[15:42] >> What?

[15:46] » I have to drop hot candle.

[15:48] Somehow.

[15:49] >> I can fold.

[15:50] >> I did.

[15:51] >> You got to learn something.

[15:56] » Um, you know you want it.

[15:59] >> I'll trade you for your seat right

[16:00] there.

[16:03] » Well, sit over here so that it's not so

[16:05] stuffy.

[16:09] » What?

[16:09] >> I'll leave you alone.

[16:10] >> I'm good.

[16:12] I'm a pretty I can make it through the

[16:13] meeting without having to speak.

[16:15] >> Yeah.

[16:34] » How are you?

[16:35] Good to see you.

[16:37] got to sit through the

[16:39] meeting today?

[16:42] Hello.

[16:45] Okay, who found you? We're just laughing

[16:47] about the very long agenda to do one

[16:49] thing.

[16:52] It's just that they kind of weird

[16:53] sometimes.

[16:54] >> Yeah. Yeah.

[16:55] >> But that's nobody normally can make a

[16:58] claim to that.

[16:59] We didn't try our best.

[17:02] >> I agree with that.

[17:03] >> I told the mayor as we were talking

[17:05] together.

[17:11] Really mistake.

[17:13] Do we really want to be in the lower

[17:14] bracket?

[17:18] Exactly. And so

[17:27] » But I mean

[17:27] >> Just say it as many times as we can.

[17:30] We're just trying to do what the state

[17:31] wants us to.

[17:32] >> They're going to put you in the minutes.

[17:33] Do you want an SLS?

[17:39] How do you want it to be in the minutes?

[17:40] You mean

[17:42] Oh, so it's all agreed. So I I need to

[17:46] So she's going to put your name in the

[17:47] minutes. All of the people that are here

[17:52] So I didn't know how you wanted her to

[17:53] put your name.

[17:55] English or

[17:58] This guy

[17:59] >> All right.

[18:00] >> Thank

[18:02] Yeah.

[18:07] Your last name is Jordan somewhere?

[18:13] >> Where did you find it?

[18:13] >> It was right here.

[18:15] >> I didn't get that answer. Who answered?

[18:18] >> Thank you.

[18:23] » So we're good?

[18:24] >> Yes.

[18:24] >> Jason?

[18:30] It's okay. We like to welcome everybody

[18:31] to South Weber City Council. It's 6:00

[18:34] p.m. on Tuesday, May 12th,

[18:36] 2026. We'll begin

[18:39] I'll lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance

[18:40] and then we'll have a prayer by

[18:42] Councilman Davis.

[18:45] Please repeat after me.

[18:48] >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

[18:52] United States of America and to the

[18:55] republic for which it stands, one nation

[18:58] under God, indivisible, with liberty and

[19:02] justice for all.

[19:13] » Our Father in heaven, we're grateful to

[19:15] gather together tonight to discuss the

[19:17] needs of our city. We pray that thy

[19:19] spirit may be

[19:20] here with us so that we may make

[19:23] good decisions that help lead this city

[19:25] down a path that is

[19:27] good for all all the citizens. We are

[19:31] grateful for these opportunities to

[19:32] serve as we are this evening, and we are

[19:34] grateful for all those who

[19:36] put forth their

[19:37] blood, sweat, and tears into putting

[19:39] these meetings together and helping us ensure that we have the

[19:43] best city that we can.

[19:45] We ask special blessing be upon those

[19:47] who serve in

[19:49] our neighborhood and those who help keep

[19:51] us safe and more broadly

[19:53] in the country that we that we are

[19:56] able to enjoy the freedoms that that we

[19:58] get to enjoy and

[20:00] be able to uh

[20:02] continue to make memories and build

[20:05] friendships and long-lasting

[20:07] uh

[20:08] friendships. These blessings we pray for

[20:10] all of this in Jesus Christ's name.

[20:11] >> Amen.

[20:13] Thank you, Councilman Davis. Appreciate

[20:15] that prayer.

[20:16] We'll begin with uh public comments. If

[20:18] you've got a comment, we'd invite you up

[20:20] to the microphone, state your name, city

[20:23] in which you reside.

[20:25] Uh please be respectful. We'll allow you

[20:27] 3 minutes to speak

[20:29] and speak uh directly to the entire

[20:31] council. So,

[20:33] we'll open it for public comments.

[20:36] You have any prob? None tonight?

[20:39] Okay, it looks like we have no comments

[20:42] tonight, so we'll move on.

[20:45] We have a presentation, uh Community

[20:48] Care

[20:49] by Tiffany. She

[20:52] just walked in.

[20:53] >> Tiffany.

[20:54] >> Oh, you are. Okay.

[20:56] Come right on up.

[20:58] >> Yes, good evening. My name is Melissa

[21:00] Coates. I got here a minute late because

[21:02] uh we're going to be talking about

[21:03] youth, and my youngest is a 17-year-old

[21:05] informed me about 2 hours ago that she

[21:07] had a JROTC award ceremony at her school

[21:10] at North Ridge High. So, I'm glad to be

[21:12] here.

[21:13] >> Glad you could make it.

[21:14] >> So, I am here to talk to you about

[21:17] Communities That Care, our coalition.

[21:20] Um so, what we're really focused on is

[21:21] creating safe, healthy, connected,

[21:24] drug-free communities for our youth.

[21:27] I think we can all agree, regardless of

[21:29] where youth live, that's incredibly

[21:30] important that they feel connected, and

[21:31] we'll talk a little bit about why that

[21:33] is.

[21:35] So, Communities That Care, they exist in

[21:38] multiple locations, multiple states.

[21:40] What that looks like is community

[21:41] members like myself um and leaders like

[21:44] some of those that we have here who do

[21:46] this work day in and day out um that

[21:49] pair together to help our youth do

[21:51] exactly what I mentioned, right? So,

[21:53] we're volunteers from various

[21:54] backgrounds focused on decreasing youth

[21:56] substance abuse, prioritizing their

[21:59] mental health, and improving their

[22:00] mental health outcomes, and using local

[22:02] data, partnerships with organizations

[22:05] like Davis County Behavioral Health, the

[22:07] health department, the school districts

[22:09] to inform um what we're doing and

[22:11] provide funding through grants,

[22:13] using evidence-based strategies to do

[22:15] so. So, we'll talk a little bit more

[22:17] about what that looks like and how we

[22:19] determine what programs are going to be

[22:20] funded. And this includes not just Davis

[22:22] County, but also Weber as well.

[22:28] So, if we think about data-driven

[22:29] processes, sometimes it can sound very

[22:32] ooh, data, right? I personally love

[22:34] data.

[22:35] Uh many of us do, but

[22:38] the SHARP Student Survey, if you've

[22:40] heard of it, hopefully you have, um is

[22:42] an opt-in survey. You have to opt in at

[22:45] the district level, the parent level,

[22:46] the student level as well. It's a really

[22:49] incredible resource to give us

[22:50] information about the challenges that

[22:52] our students are facing, and it's more

[22:54] localized so that we're able to really

[22:56] focus our strategies on what is really

[22:59] going to best support the children in

[23:01] our communities. Okay.

[23:03] So, we take that data, we take listening

[23:05] sessions that have occurred with

[23:07] parents, school resource officers,

[23:09] school administrators, individuals that

[23:10] are surrounding our youth day-to-day,

[23:13] and then we use that in addition to

[23:14] public data from youth courts, police,

[23:17] etc. to select the specific

[23:20] evidence-based strategies that we apply.

[23:23] Okay, so we start with the data and

[23:25] then, makes sense, right? We use that

[23:27] data to inform our solutions.

[23:31] When we look just at Davis County

[23:32] between 2021 and 2025, it was pretty

[23:36] much a really good news story in terms

[23:38] of decreases that we've seen. Fewer

[23:40] students are reporting use of drugs,

[23:42] which includes alcohol and vapes.

[23:44] Um

[23:46] significant decrease in vaping in terms

[23:48] of reported having used once in their

[23:51] lifetime or within the last 30 days.

[23:53] Same thing for alcohol abuse. So, this

[23:55] is giving us some feedback that what

[23:58] we're doing is helping in those areas.

[24:00] >> What's the age group?

[24:01] >> So, the age group for SHARP for Utah is

[24:05] sixth through 12th grade. Six. Six

[24:08] through 12th grade. I'm sorry, every 2

[24:09] years they're given the SHARP survey or

[24:11] have the option to opt in.

[24:14] Um Davis County parents in particular,

[24:16] from the data that we have, they're

[24:18] doing a really good job setting clear

[24:19] expectations at home on what healthy

[24:21] behaviors look like, right? And what

[24:22] they're expecting of their youth. Youth

[24:24] mental health is improving. There are

[24:26] fewer students reporting concerns about

[24:28] depression, um thoughts of suicide.

[24:31] Marijuana use has decreased

[24:32] significantly, again, used once in a

[24:35] lifetime or more, um or within the last

[24:37] 30 days.

[24:38] That being said, there are still

[24:40] challenges facing our youth today, which

[24:42] is why the work we do is very important.

[24:45] Um the administrator of that survey,

[24:47] they're experts, it's safe, it's

[24:48] reliable. I've reviewed the data um

[24:50] myself before. It's really fascinating,

[24:52] again, if you nerd out on data, um but

[24:54] the bottom line is it it really helps

[24:56] inform what we're doing.

[25:00] So two of the things that we're

[25:00] continuing to focus on are decreasing

[25:02] the rates of youth substance use. Again,

[25:04] that would be alcohol, marijuana,

[25:06] vaping,

[25:07] um and also the rates of youth

[25:08] depression and those suicide indicators

[25:10] that are of particular concern.

[25:13] Many folks know those things kind of go

[25:15] together quite often. There's

[25:16] comorbidity, um where you may have

[25:18] individuals they're depressed, so

[25:19] they're trying something to numb the

[25:21] pain further and you end up in a vicious

[25:23] cycle.

[25:24] So in particular with substance use,

[25:26] alcohol use, nicotine use, the pouches

[25:29] have become really popular. I think if

[25:31] you go to any Maverick, you see the Zyn

[25:33] pouches being advertised. Um that's

[25:36] something kids see day-to-day, right?

[25:39] Walking to and from school. Youth

[25:41] marijuana use, focus on decreasing that

[25:43] as well.

[25:44] In terms of youth depression and suicide

[25:45] indicators, mentioned that already, um

[25:48] but really focus on understanding if

[25:50] youth are making a plan and how we might

[25:52] be able to support them.

[25:54] So some of the ways that we're doing

[25:55] these things to address those risk

[25:57] factors, we want to decrease the risk

[25:59] factors and improve the protective

[26:01] factors or the things that are going to

[26:02] help prevent kids from using substances

[26:04] that they shouldn't be if they're going

[26:05] to be healthy, as well as make sure that

[26:07] their mental health is in a good place.

[26:09] So with many of these things,

[26:13] either you want more or less of them. So

[26:15] parent setting and monitoring, as much

[26:17] as parent parents can be involved and

[26:19] monitor what their kids are doing, which

[26:20] can be difficult, especially if you

[26:21] work, like I understand that myself, um

[26:24] the better the results are. Giving kids

[26:27] a chance to do things that benefit

[26:28] others. Most kids really enjoy an

[26:30] opportunity to help someone, whether

[26:31] it's informally or formally. So if we

[26:34] have more of those positive activities

[26:35] and opportunities for them to come

[26:37] together, or individually, small groups,

[26:39] what have you, it really gives them the

[26:41] chance to shine and have a positive

[26:43] self-view.

[26:45] Helping schools recognize children.

[26:48] They benefit others. If we get the

[26:49] schools involved in addition to the

[26:51] other things that are happening. That is

[26:53] another way to reward them and recognize

[26:55] them for what they're doing.

[26:57] And then finally, helping parents build

[26:59] strong relationships. One of the

[27:00] programs that is offered at no cost,

[27:03] which we also talk about briefly, um

[27:05] really focuses on empowering parents.

[27:07] If you're a parent, know a parent,

[27:09] parenting is difficult, right? Even if

[27:11] you have a two-parent household,

[27:13] it's a challenge, right? So, the more

[27:15] support we can have um an understanding

[27:18] of how we can interact with our youth

[27:20] for the better.

[27:22] So, what this looks like here. We use

[27:24] the data, right? We address the risk and

[27:27] protective factors. Um presentations and

[27:29] tabling events, we've done a variety of

[27:31] them. We've done Night of Hope um over

[27:34] in Layton at the New Avenues campus. Um

[27:37] 9/11 uh volunteer service projects,

[27:40] community trainings for adults so that

[27:43] they understand um how to best support

[27:45] their youth. Um community service events

[27:48] like I mentioned, policy work in terms

[27:50] of laws, regulations, guidelines, all

[27:52] focused on decreasing those risk factors

[27:55] and improving those protective factors.

[27:57] These things are done at the local and

[27:58] state levels. Um and an example is the

[28:02] involvement in banning the sale of

[28:04] flavored vapes.

[28:05] were very popular for

[28:08] children.

[28:09] Right?

[28:10] In addition to this, like I mentioned,

[28:12] using that evidence to target our

[28:13] programs.

[28:14] One of the really nice things about the

[28:16] programs, for example, there's one

[28:18] parents come in that they have free

[28:20] child care provided to them, dinner's

[28:22] provided to them for free. They complete

[28:24] this program for a number of weeks.

[28:26] They're able to bond with their

[28:27] children. They're able to learn more

[28:29] about how they can support as a parent.

[28:31] Again, zero cost child care provided.

[28:33] It's hard to not be able to participate

[28:36] unless someone has to work, right? If

[28:38] you have those other things covered that

[28:39] may be a barrier to some individuals.

[28:42] Another example would be free family

[28:44] dinners for community. Again, gathering

[28:47] them together to help them understand

[28:48] the importance of family and community

[28:51] as protective factors. Families are

[28:53] great, friends are great, community, all

[28:55] of this builds upon itself.

[28:58] And then a youth summit. Get the youth

[29:00] involved directly. There's a half-day

[29:02] conference on a Saturday. Youth come

[29:04] together

[29:05] and they talk about, you know, their

[29:07] mental health, substance use,

[29:09] leadership, general wellness. So, all of

[29:12] these things are partnerships together.

[29:13] It truly takes these different pieces.

[29:16] So, where we could use your help, take

[29:18] an share the parent survey, if you have

[29:21] not already. That's a great opportunity.

[29:23] We have that in Davis County, I know, to

[29:26] hear from parents about youth substance

[29:28] use and mental health concerns. Part of

[29:30] our success is dependent upon the data

[29:32] that we receive. I know even for my

[29:34] daughter,

[29:35] she's been identified, her friends won't

[29:37] tell her things anymore because she

[29:39] knows that they'll tell me.

[29:40] But, it's very important. It's kind of

[29:42] that if you see something, say

[29:43] something, and parents are great source

[29:45] for that information.

[29:47] Have a council member join us. I am part

[29:49] of the CTC as a community member because

[29:52] our city council and Bettina Smith

[29:53] Edmonson approached me shortly after I

[29:55] moved to Utah for work in 2021, and I've

[29:58] been a part of it ever since.

[30:01] So, your support really means an

[30:03] incredible deal, even if you can't

[30:05] commit to any sort of full-time

[30:07] involvement. Showing up at events,

[30:09] meetings, all of those things are

[30:11] incredibly meaningful and important and

[30:13] gratefully greatly appreciated. It helps

[30:15] us strengthen the coalition.

[30:17] And share updates within the community

[30:19] so that you know directly what's

[30:20] happening in your communities as well.

[30:22] And then invite us to be where kids and

[30:23] families are. We are happy to show up,

[30:26] even sometimes at the last minute, with

[30:28] a table and information. We have

[30:30] giveaways. There are chit-chat cards

[30:31] that allow you, between parents and

[30:33] children, to have a conversation. Like,

[30:35] you take turns asking questions, get to

[30:37] know you, have that engagement together.

[30:39] But, please do invite us. Let us know if

[30:42] we can support your communities in any

[30:44] way. We are here and very excited to be

[30:47] able to do that.

[30:49] So that is

[30:50] >> Thank you very much.

[30:50] >> Thank you.

[30:52] >> Appreciate your

[30:54] Yes, yes,

[30:55] invitations.

[30:59] Any questions, council, anyone?

[31:01] >> I just invite them that we do have our

[31:03] South Weber City Days and they get a

[31:05] booth or something like that. So there's

[31:07] a whole Saturday where you get the whole

[31:08] community in the park if you want to

[31:10] have some exposure.

[31:11] >> Fantastic. Please let us know and we can

[31:12] absolutely share in the presentation. It

[31:14] has our contact information as well. We

[31:16] can share the presentation, I imagine,

[31:19] and then definitely see how we can

[31:21] partner.

[31:22] >> That'd be awesome.

[31:22] >> That would be great.

[31:23] >> Thank you.

[31:24] >> So our CCA,

[31:26] which your city is a part of,

[31:28] we have uh we're working with Davis

[31:30] Behavioral Health is the one who is

[31:32] doing the parent survey that she was

[31:34] mentioning and it's a QR code. It's a 5

[31:37] to

[31:38] at the longest 10 minutes. There's skip

[31:40] logic in it, so it's a 5 to 10 minute

[31:42] survey. We have numerous gift cards that

[31:44] we're giving away, $50 gift cards that

[31:46] we're doing a drawing for participants.

[31:48] We would love for you guys to take the

[31:50] survey, all of you, and enter for that

[31:53] $50 and then pass it on in any way that

[31:56] we can to get more of the voices. We'd

[31:58] love to hear from more of the parents

[32:00] from South Weber

[32:02] and have them represented in our survey.

[32:04] So I'm going to

[32:06] leave these here and if you want more, I

[32:08] can get you

[32:11] >> Thank you.

[32:11] >> Yeah, we appreciate that.

[32:13] Thank you.

[32:15] >> Okay, we'll move on with our consent

[32:16] agenda consisting of April 14th minutes,

[32:20] April checks, and March budget to

[32:22] actual.

[32:23] Any discussion on

[32:26] any of these or

[32:28] any changes that you noticed?

[32:31] >> I just had one question.

[32:33] Um

[32:33] down on and I'm sorry I cut and paste

[32:36] everything cuz it was such a large

[32:37] packet. Uh 423

[32:40] we have uh State Bank um and and we've

[32:43] got like the the Rams

[32:46] um

[32:47] and we're paying a thousand dollars

[32:49] for this. I'm assuming it's a a monthly.

[32:52] But right below that we have um 3F

[32:56] uh

[32:57] 350s.

[32:59] And each one of those are fifteen

[33:00] thousand dollars. Um is that because

[33:03] we've got them on a faster or shorter

[33:05] payment schedule or

[33:07] I was just wondering the difference

[33:09] there. Going from a thousand to fifteen

[33:10] thousand was just I wasn't expecting

[33:13] that.

[33:13] >> No, so for

[33:15] that's a that's a great question. What

[33:16] we've done

[33:18] uh from our previous fleet company

[33:21] um to the new one all the all the ones

[33:23] that transferred over

[33:25] we worked out a a monthly a monthly

[33:27] payment for those.

[33:28] >> Mhm.

[33:28] >> And then as we get new as we switch out

[33:31] those vehicles now, we're switching them

[33:33] to an annual payment.

[33:35] >> Okay.

[33:36] >> So that's that's where you're seeing

[33:38] big difference. Some are some are annual

[33:40] already and some are still under the old

[33:44] um fleet company or not they're not

[33:47] under the old fleet, but when we brought

[33:49] them over they're monthly at this point.

[33:52] Does that help?

[33:53] >> That does.

[33:54] Thank you.

[33:58] » Mayor, no. Mayor, I make a motion to

[34:00] approve the consent agenda.

[34:01] >> I second.

[34:03] >> All in favor, say I.

[34:05] >> I.

[34:07] >> Okay, our next item on the agenda agenda

[34:09] tonight it's a new item. The state is

[34:12] requiring

[34:14] uh

[34:15] our finance director to uh come before

[34:17] the council and present our tentative

[34:20] budget and tax certification.

[34:23] And uh

[34:25] so at this time we're going to turn over

[34:27] to Brett

[34:29] and uh let him carry on with that.

[34:31] >> Okay.

[34:32] Um

[34:33] First and foremost, like like the mayor

[34:35] said, the intent of of these new line

[34:39] items, these resolutions, and and these

[34:41] items action items on the agenda

[34:44] is to make sure that we're being as

[34:47] compliant as we can with the new state

[34:49] law and that we're being transparent um

[34:52] not just to council, but also to the

[34:54] public.

[34:55] And so with that,

[34:58] um I do have to state that the tentative

[35:00] budget does include a a property tax

[35:03] increase

[35:04] and that South Weber's considering

[35:06] levying a tax rate that exceeds the the

[35:10] expected amount um

[35:13] that exceeds the the

[35:16] estimated certified tax rate.

[35:19] I know that's worded a little different

[35:21] than what we're used to, but in essence,

[35:23] it does mean that we are holding the

[35:24] rate

[35:26] based on what what the expected

[35:30] certified tax rate is going to be

[35:32] and what we want to hold it at.

[35:35] I have to show that difference as an

[35:37] increase, and that's where that $39,000

[35:40] is coming from.

[35:41] >> Um

[35:43] help me understand this because

[35:45] um

[35:46] we have two really before us.

[35:49] Uh one that is holding the rate,

[35:53] which I thought that's kind of where we

[35:56] were looking still as our starting

[35:58] point,

[35:59] um and we

[36:00] reference that a couple of times.

[36:02] Um

[36:03] but we're showing the one where we

[36:05] increase the rate.

[36:08] >> So, a good way to explain that is

[36:11] because of the the value of the homes

[36:13] and the way the formula works from the

[36:15] state, the values of as the value of the

[36:18] homes increase,

[36:20] the tax rate the tax rate decreases.

[36:23] >> Oh, I understand that. I'm

[36:23] >> And so

[36:24] >> we We two models of whether as a council

[36:28] we decide that we're going to for this

[36:30] next budget, our tentative budget,

[36:32] whether it'll be at the held rate or

[36:35] whether it'll be held at an increased

[36:37] rate. And I thought the and I I could be

[36:40] wrong, but I thought most of

[36:42] um the direction from the council was

[36:44] that we were looking

[36:45] at the holding rate. And when I look on

[36:49] here and I see that we're looking at the

[36:51] increase rate.

[36:53] >> Where are you seeing that? Because the

[36:54] intent is to hold it at the same as last

[36:56] year's rate of 1434.

[36:58] >> That's and then this is

[36:59] >> And that's where it I mean, it is in

[37:02] seven worded to where you would think

[37:04] that.

[37:05] >> Yeah, okay, I see.

[37:06] >> Holding the rate is still an increased

[37:08] dollar amount.

[37:10] >> Right.

[37:10] >> And that's that is be But if you look at

[37:13] like it your wording is actually the

[37:15] wording in the state language is that of

[37:18] Larry's tax revenue is how he has to

[37:20] word that in this meeting today.

[37:22] >> Okay. One way to One way to say it is

[37:26] the tax rate last year was 1434. We

[37:29] intend to hold that same rate.

[37:32] The certified tax rate that the county

[37:34] will propose to us, we're estimating to

[37:37] be 3% lower than 1434. So, if we are to

[37:41] hold our rate, we are showing an

[37:44] estimated increase off of the certified

[37:47] tax rate of 3%, which would get us back

[37:50] to 1434.

[37:52] >> Okay.

[37:53] I see what you're saying.

[37:54] >> We won't know what that certified tax

[37:55] rate is until next month. So, it'll be

[37:57] estimated.

[37:58] >> Yeah, right. Okay.

[38:00] Perfect. Thank you. Please continue.

[38:02] >> Okay.

[38:03] Um

[38:05] we do expect that

[38:06] the additional ad valorem tax revenue to

[38:10] generate uh about $39,000.

[38:14] Um and the approximate percentage is

[38:16] that 3% as as Dave

[38:18] >> Jumping in.

[38:19] >> As No,

[38:20] as Dave mentioned, and we expect that to cover different things within the

[38:27] general fund, and we've we've mentioned

[38:29] some of those, the youth council, office

[38:31] supplies, equipment, emergency

[38:33] preparedness,

[38:34] fire travel, abatement, snow supplies,

[38:36] and trails.

[38:38] Know that we are not eliminating any of

[38:41] these expenditures. We are just merely

[38:44] decreasing them

[38:46] if the proposed tax rate is not

[38:49] approved.

[38:50] Does that Does that make sense?

[38:54] >> I just want to restate what you just

[38:56] said, just make sure I'm with you.

[38:58] >> Okay.

[38:59] >> Um if I understand what you just said

[39:01] correctly, what you're saying is that if

[39:02] we choose not to hold the rate, and we go with

[39:06] whatever the county

[39:08] gives us is the example we're comparing,

[39:11] right?

[39:12] Um the way that you split up that

[39:14] 39,000, you would basically deduct those

[39:17] amounts from those requisite current

[39:21] estimated expenditures or budgets. Is

[39:22] that correct?

[39:24] >> Correct. And and I do have that shown in

[39:26] that

[39:27] >> Yep.

[39:28] >> in that tax tax impact

[39:29] >> how you're going to bring that

[39:30] correctly.

[39:30] >> Yep, you're you're totally correct on

[39:32] that.

[39:33] >> So, my question on that is that um

[39:36] why do we have the impact notes?

[39:38] Because if we're not going to hold those

[39:40] ones to it,

[39:42] um

[39:43] it just seems to me that this is kind of

[39:45] the

[39:46] um transparency sometimes we see on the

[39:50] national level or state level of oh,

[39:53] well, we're going to we're not going to

[39:54] have as many taxes, so we're going to

[39:55] have to cut the police, the nurses, the

[39:58] teachers, and any other type of

[40:00] >> Cuz

[40:01] >> These aren't the ones that are on the

[40:03] chopping block.

[40:04] >> The legislature makes us this year list

[40:07] what we would cut.

[40:10] >> But well, I'm based

[40:11] >> saying though is that

[40:12] that's

[40:14] the If these are the ones that we're

[40:16] actually going to cut, I think that

[40:17] actually is the city council's decision.

[40:21] We're the ones that do the budget.

[40:23] >> Right. That is your decision. Based on

[40:25] the last budget discussion, staff was

[40:27] tasked with going back department by

[40:29] department, working with department

[40:31] heads to say what would be cut if we

[40:33] didn't hold the rate.

[40:34] >> What would be recommended to be cut?

[40:36] >> Okay. Yes, this is what we recommend as

[40:38] staff. This is what we recommend as

[40:40] staff looking at the budget, that

[40:41] $39,000.

[40:43] And that tax schedule is what shows the

[40:46] line by line item what those things

[40:48] would be. That that's recommendation,

[40:50] yeah.

[40:50] >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Blair.

[40:55] » Um last item

[40:58] is

[41:00] that the South Weber City will will

[41:03] provide a notice and conduct a public hearing for the

[41:07] public to provide comments on the

[41:09] proposed tax rate increase on August

[41:12] 11th.

[41:14] At that point, those are the discussion

[41:16] items that that I have.

[41:19] Is there questions, concerns

[41:23] that that council may have or do you

[41:25] want clarification

[41:27] on any of the documents provided?

[41:31] And thank you for clarifying, David,

[41:33] that those are the recommendations.

[41:35] They can be adjusted by council, but

[41:37] that is the recommendation after

[41:39] discussing with the department heads.

[41:44] >> Well,

[41:45] >> I I'll just tell you straight out, you

[41:46] try to touch the tree program and I'll

[41:47] come at you.

[41:50] Me and all of the little elves in the

[41:52] city.

[41:53] The Lorax will

[41:55] >> You do know you speak for the trees.

[41:57] >> I do. I speak for the trees.

[42:02] » Which is specifically why you don't see

[42:04] that on there.

[42:05] >> It's on there.

[42:06] >> It is It is on there.

[42:07] >> Specifically

[42:10] >> But then

[42:10] >> And I know that

[42:12] >> The tentative budget includes these

[42:15] things, right? These are things we don't

[42:16] want to cut. We want to have and that's

[42:19] why they are in the tentative budget.

[42:20] >> only there if it doesn't pass.

[42:24] >> If we don't pass, right?

[42:26] >> Truth in taxation.

[42:27] >> Right, these are the options. I'm just I think that sometimes in in the city we

[42:32] don't have a a very clear

[42:35] um line between who actually does the

[42:38] budget and where that comes from and

[42:40] where the recommendations for that comes

[42:42] from and although we value those

[42:44] recommendations, at the same time

[42:46] um

[42:48] it

[42:49] I would have much rather seen

[42:51] um

[42:52] uh I mean we we're not talking about the

[42:54] full-time employee salaries in the

[42:56] administration area. Um

[42:59] we have a city manager fund. I'm not

[43:01] even sure what that is.

[43:03] Um but we're higher on that. Um

[43:06] so I'm just saying

[43:08] leave the trees alone.

[43:13] Please.

[43:15] Okay.

[43:17] » May I make a motion uh acknowledging the

[43:20] property tax impact schedule created by

[43:21] finance director Brett

[45:17] community

[45:18] development block grant program.

[45:22] Any questions or concerns?

[45:25] Or look for a motion.

[45:26] >> Um

[45:27] I really wish

[45:30] is would it be

[45:32] um

[45:34] uh our engineer

[45:36] that that has that Brandon

[45:38] um because in the contract itself it

[45:41] holds us for

[45:43] um

[45:44] uh some costs that I don't see included

[45:47] with this.

[45:48] If it's going to have a cost to the city

[45:50] going forward, um

[45:52] I'd like to see what that is as part of

[45:54] this agreement.

[45:57] >> Um basically this agreement um

[46:01] is us being a player within the county.

[46:04] We do not ever

[46:06] uh qualify for CDBG money, and so

[46:09] there's never a cost to us cuz we're

[46:11] >> Actually, if you look on uh

[46:15] 0.4 joint cooperation, as reasonably

[46:18] necessary, the parties agree to assist

[46:20] each other in providing and sharing

[46:22] information, drawing plans, blah blah. Go down to eight, jointly purchase

[46:25] educational and training materials as

[46:27] determined by the coalition for

[46:28] distribution to the to residents.

[46:31] Doesn't specifically say ours is We're donating money into a a group fund

[46:36] on the other one. Um 87?

[46:40] >> Thank you.

[46:41] >> I believe No, that cuz that would be at

[46:42] the bottom of it. Page five of 69. I've

[46:46] got so many of those, I'm sorry.

[46:48] But it's um

[46:50] of that, go down to four, and then go

[46:52] down to A.

[46:53] >> Okay.

[46:54] >> 4A?

[46:55] >> Yeah.

[46:58] » Like I said, I'm sorry. I had to cut and

[46:59] paste a couple

[47:01] I literally just cut that. So,

[47:04] five, take necessary action, comply to

[47:07] that.

[47:10] Can you go up just a little, 60 degrees?

[47:20] » Council member Dells, which agreement

[47:22] are you reading from?

[47:23] >> Um the one that was sent.

[47:28] There There are two and there are

[47:30] >> I do.

[47:31] >> The first relates to the C CDBG.

[47:35] The next relates to an interlocal

[47:38] cooperation agreement for pollutant

[47:39] discharge.

[47:41] I think you may be reading from the

[47:43] second one.

[47:44] >> That's what I

[47:45] >> Okay. Because the section numbers and

[47:47] the language that you read don't match

[47:49] with

[47:49] >> And and it's only a couple pages long.

[47:52] That's where I

[47:52] >> I'm trying to find the

[47:53] >> Yes, 4 4A in the next item does have

[47:57] joint

[47:57] >> Okay, I see.

[47:58] >> purchasing. So, yes.

[48:00] >> See, it's that's interesting. I

[48:02] apologize. So,

[48:04] thank you.

[48:06] Okay, well, still, are there any costs?

[48:08] They should be in there.

[48:10] >> Not for this agreement, no.

[48:13] » Okay, I'll take that.

[48:16] >> Mayor, I move to approve resolution

[48:17] 20-15

[48:19] interlocal

[48:20] agreement with Davis County related to

[48:22] the conduct of community development

[48:24] block grant program.

[48:26] I second 20-15.

[48:28] >> Second.

[48:28] >> 27.

[48:29] >> Second by Councilman Deales. I will do

[48:32] roll call votes starting with Councilman

[48:33] Windsor.

[48:33] >> Aye.

[48:37] >> Motion carries.

[48:39] Next resolution 26-16

[48:42] interlocal cooperation agreement with

[48:44] Davis County for the Utah pollutant

[48:46] discharge elimination system general

[48:50] permit.

[48:50] >> I've got problems with this one.

[48:53] As far as the costs on item 4A,

[48:57] >> uh I'd have to look and see what

[48:58] historical costs there are there. We the agreement is essentially the same as

[49:04] we've had before for this same permit.

[49:07] So, I'd have to look and see if there

[49:09] are a specific

[49:10] trend or anything on those joint costs,

[49:13] but

[49:14] >> I would assume it's probably very small.

[49:15] I don't think there's much at all, if

[49:17] anything.

[49:18] >> But, I do think that if we're going to

[49:19] have something like this come through

[49:21] where it's any type of cooperation

[49:22] agreements, if there is a cost, whether

[49:25] it be low or high,

[49:27] I think it just needs to be brought to

[49:28] the attention of the city council at the

[49:30] time,

[49:31] not afterwards. So,

[49:34] that was all I was going to say.

[49:36] >> That makes sense.

[49:40] » Okay, with that being said, is someone

[49:41] who like to make a motion?

[49:46] » Mayor, I move to approve resolution

[49:48] 26-16 interlocal cooperation agreement

[49:50] with the Davis County for Utah pollution

[49:52] discharge elimination systems general

[49:54] permit.

[49:56] >> Seconded.

[50:22] >> Yes.

[50:26] » Ready?

[50:27] >> Okay.

[50:28] That one's been removed.

[50:31] >> Uh discussion item,

[50:33] celebrating America 20 or 250.

[50:36] Uh

[50:38] I'd like to discuss some for a few

[50:40] minutes what this year we want to do to

[50:43] celebrate

[50:45] America 250.

[50:47] Any suggestions from the council or what

[50:49] would you like the uh

[50:52] if anything, probably should do

[50:53] something.

[50:57] Want to have any uh

[50:58] >> So, we talked We talked about this down

[51:00] in St. George a little bit, but I mean,

[51:01] I know we talked about it.

[51:03] Something to do in South Weber Days.

[51:05] And the parade might be the easiest,

[51:07] obviously.

[51:08] >> Yes.

[51:09] >> Um

[51:13] citywide potluck for those of you who

[51:15] weren't down in the uh

[51:19] city to city meetings.

[51:21] Um

[51:22] that is that is a neighborhood potluck

[51:25] that they want people in their

[51:26] neighborhoods to instigate like in a you

[51:28] know, do it in a cul-de-sac. If I mean,

[51:30] I don't think that's a bad idea. Some

[51:32] neighborhoods already do those kind of

[51:33] things.

[51:36] » They don't need a permit to close off

[51:37] the

[51:38] >> We're going to work with them to do that

[51:40] if that's a requirement and make it easy

[51:44] to happen have happen.

[51:46] So, I don't think those are bad ideas. I

[51:48] think what's on here is good. I don't

[51:50] know if there's any other really cool

[51:52] ideas to do for this.

[51:54] >> Um I've got some.

[51:56] >> Let's go for it. I That's what That's

[51:58] why I'm asking. I don't have those

[51:59] ideas.

[52:00] >> Um so I I just

[52:03] Um I guess it comes down to whether or

[52:05] not we want to make this a big deal or

[52:06] not. I mean, if it's just going to be

[52:07] part of South Weber Days,

[52:09] um there's a couple things we can do to

[52:11] kind of enhance it.

[52:13] Um one of the things that I've got down

[52:15] on here, and Dave may be able to help us

[52:17] on that with the uh our own flag

[52:19] company, but um I also know the owners

[52:22] of um

[52:25] What is it? Centennial Flag down there

[52:26] in Sandy?

[52:27] >> Colonial.

[52:29] Thank you. Um I used to kill

[52:31] mice in his backyard. Um

[52:34] but

[52:36] see if we couldn't get some type of

[52:38] discount, whether it's QR code or a link

[52:40] from our website or something that

[52:41] basically says, "If you're a citizen and

[52:43] you want to have an American flag at a

[52:45] discount, you know, maybe they'll give

[52:47] us a 10% discount, maybe something

[52:49] else." I don't know, but

[52:51] um

[52:53] I still have stuff from um the

[52:57] Centennial.

[52:59] Um I have so many things that still have

[53:02] on it, you know, the Spirit of 1776 and

[53:05] all of these kind of things. Um even an

[53:07] old Sprite bottle. I mean, it's just It

[53:09] was fun to collect it and it's fun to

[53:10] live through it. And I would just like

[53:12] to see some of those same kind of things

[53:14] if we want to do it. And I say that

[53:17] specifically cuz we are missing our

[53:20] event coordinator.

[53:22] Um and that kind of makes it difficult,

[53:24] but uh some of the things that um

[53:27] uh they've suggested out there um in

[53:29] other cities are doing um things like

[53:32] uh you can have um a roaming

[53:35] uh mascot with a QR code down on the

[53:37] bottom that basically makes it as a

[53:40] um scavenger hunt through the city. So,

[53:42] you would go down to the

[53:43] um

[53:44] historical cemetery. You would go over

[53:47] to

[53:48] uh one of the rooms in here would have a

[53:49] poster describing, you know, where this

[53:52] happened and whatnot. Um one of the fun

[53:54] ones is a reenactment of Bunker Hill um

[53:58] with water balloons

[54:00] um and squirt guns. And it's just time

[54:03] to get the kids out there.

[54:04] Um

[54:05] uh I would like to see

[54:08] because we have quite a bit of extra

[54:10] money in the tree program

[54:14] um I would like to see something done

[54:16] down at the Memorial Park. Even if it's

[54:19] just, you know, in one of the corners we

[54:21] part uh

[54:23] plant two or three trees and put down

[54:26] there with it something about

[54:28] um uh

[54:30] this is, you know, for generations to

[54:32] come. You know, this is for uh the the

[54:34] 250th celebration of our our the signing

[54:37] of the Declaration of Independence. And

[54:39] um this is for the next 250 years. Other

[54:41] cities are doing things like uh time

[54:43] capsules and stuff, but those are really

[54:45] kind of difficult to do.

[54:46] >> A plaque?

[54:48] >> Yeah. Um just just a small little metal

[54:50] plaque that goes on or near the base of

[54:52] the tree or however that would just talk

[54:55] about it. Um that is our Veterans

[54:56] Memorial, so it is a good place to do

[54:59] any of these kind of extra things that

[55:00] we would want.

[55:02] Um

[55:03] we could do contests in the city, you

[55:05] know, most patriotic porch. We've got a

[55:07] lot of people that do decorate for the

[55:08] 24th of July.

[55:10] I don't know. I'm just saying that

[55:12] there's a lot of little things that

[55:13] wouldn't take too much work. We could

[55:16] work with South Weber um Elementary to

[55:18] do a

[55:20] um future letter uh for those um that,

[55:24] you know, live in 2076

[55:26] um saying what it's like here and, you

[55:29] know, the kids could draw pictures of

[55:30] what they think it's going to be like in

[55:32] uh 2076. Um so, there's all kinds of

[55:35] different things. They do all um say

[55:37] that like with the parade, you could

[55:39] have

[55:40] you could invite

[55:41] um

[55:43] veterans whether they're

[55:45] or active military and their kids to

[55:48] walk in the parade. Kind of that

[55:51] historical and young approach looking at

[55:53] it

[55:54] or have booths or you know where you

[55:56] pass things out over there or just have

[55:58] them as part of the parade carrying a

[56:00] lot of American flags cuz this is meant

[56:02] to be a very patriotic

[56:04] type of event. So that that's what I've

[56:06] got. Like I said, it's going to take a

[56:07] lot more work and I don't know if we've

[56:09] got the manpower right now to do that.

[56:12] So I'm just bringing it up and

[56:15] see what y'all think.

[56:20] » I have an option.

[56:22] I had an idea since I wasn't at the city

[56:24] to city meeting.

[56:26] But I'm looking at

[56:27] >> missed.

[56:28] >> Thank you.

[56:30] Uh

[56:31] This one's going to lean a little bit on

[56:32] our fire department friends.

[56:35] But uh the idea was

[56:37] bear with me cuz I know there's some

[56:39] logistics behind it but if we get this

[56:40] we don't have our quint

[56:42] but if we had some sort of ladder trucks

[56:44] that we could borrow our own trucks, put

[56:46] it on the overpass on 89 and set up some

[56:49] sort of flag you know can have a

[56:51] American flag hanging there and some

[56:52] sort of banner you know celebrate 250

[56:54] years and leave it out there

[56:56] for the day for the travelers who are

[56:57] traveling through our community to see

[56:59] how we're supporting

[57:00] the tour.

[57:02] Something visually like that is a photo

[57:03] op you might get some news media out of

[57:05] it but uh

[57:07] that was my my thought.

[57:11] You know cuz it's South Beaver

[57:12] celebrating 250 America's 250th.

[57:15] >> It's just uh

[57:17] How do you implement

[57:18] >> I don't know how you'd physically do

[57:20] that. If you had ladder trucks it'd be

[57:21] great string across two ladder trucks

[57:23] but I'm not buying you another ladder

[57:24] truck so don't forget about that one.

[57:28] But we can block off the uh

[57:31] furthest north lane. There's two lanes

[57:33] that go east and go west east to west on

[57:36] that bridge.

[57:37] >> On this bridge down here?

[57:38] >> No, the one over 89.

[57:39] >> Oh, the north-south lanes?

[57:43] >> No.

[57:43] >> I'm on I'm on South Weber Drive.

[57:45] >> Going on the bridge. On the bridge.

[57:47] >> on the bridge.

[57:48] >> Right, right.

[57:49] >> There's two lanes that go westbound.

[57:50] >> Oh, you're on them hanging over South

[57:52] Weber Drive?

[57:53] >> No, hanging.

[57:54] >> Hanging above 89 89 comes over South

[57:56] Weber Drive 89. You're on the bridge

[57:58] hanging up high. Everyone could see you.

[58:00] >> That's easy to do. So, because we have

[58:02] an adequate we've just been going out

[58:04] there for

[58:05] uh

[58:07] usually it's something really bad's

[58:08] happened unfortunately. We're

[58:10] cops have been killed or whatever. But,

[58:12] we already have two huge flags. If we

[58:14] can find a way to anchor them on the

[58:16] bridge, we can leave them out there for

[58:17] a day pretty easy without manpower being

[58:19] out there.

[58:21] >> Big flag and a banner and well,

[58:23] something that recognizes 250 years was

[58:26] my idea.

[58:27] >> Yeah, we could hang a flag on each side.

[58:30] And hit both directions cuz we do have

[58:32] the two giant flags. Um it would just be

[58:35] making sure what however we anchor them

[58:37] make making sure they're not going to

[58:39] fly off, but that'd be easy for us to do

[58:41] is put the flags out. Are you talking on

[58:42] the 4th

[58:44] of July?

[58:45] >> Day of celebration. Whenever we're

[58:46] celebrating the calendar day.

[58:48] >> Whatever day we choose, yeah.

[58:49] >> That That would be the day and you know,

[58:52] it would be recognized not only by our

[58:53] own community, but the community abroad

[58:55] as you travel through it.

[58:56] >> Yeah, we'd be happy to do that.

[58:58] >> So, that's just an idea I had.

[59:00] >> If the city wants us to do it, let us

[59:01] know. We'd be happy to go do that.

[59:02] >> Thanks, Derek.

[59:03] >> Good.

[59:09] » I don't I don't have any more. I didn't

[59:11] Those were great ideas. It's figuring

[59:12] out how to implement some of them and

[59:15] make it happen. I know we have enough

[59:16] people that are willing to support

[59:17] things those activities in the

[59:19] community.

[59:20] Just like the Easter egg hunt, we get

[59:22] more coming out for that than I ever

[59:23] dreamt we would have coming out for it.

[59:24] If we did

[59:26] some kind of celebration, I'm sure we'd

[59:28] get people out of

[59:29] finding the time for and the staff to

[59:31] plan it.

[59:32] >> Well, and I've I've seen where the other

[59:34] cities

[59:35] um are doing uh

[59:38] kind of a staggered approach. So, like

[59:40] one weekend they'll have uh you know,

[59:42] the art contest with the kids and

[59:45] they're displayed up in city hall for

[59:47] you know, the the rest of the month and

[59:50] the next weekend is when they'll have

[59:51] you know, Bunker Hill and the fire

[59:52] department will come and you know, new

[59:54] come all their hose.

[59:56] Um and then the next weekend they'll

[59:57] have

[59:58] uh you know, uh something down at the

[1:00:01] other park and we dress the train up in

[1:00:03] you know, red, white, and blue or

[1:00:04] something. It It just makes it so that

[1:00:07] maybe that gives a little bit more time

[1:00:09] between each one.

[1:00:11] Again, I and Dave, this really

[1:00:14] comes down to you and whether or not we

[1:00:16] have the staffing to be able to do it

[1:00:19] and how much of it we'd be able to do.

[1:00:21] We could stick with a lot more of the

[1:00:23] simpler ones. We could use the youth uh

[1:00:26] council on some of it. Um

[1:00:29] it's just

[1:00:30] >> Well, if the council says this is a

[1:00:32] priority and you'd like staff time to be

[1:00:34] spent on it, then we will do that.

[1:00:37] We will prioritize that and if we wanted

[1:00:40] another idea, potentially call for

[1:00:43] community volunteers that might be

[1:00:45] interested in in joining a small kind of

[1:00:47] event committee for America 250, we

[1:00:51] could put out a bat signal so to speak

[1:00:53] for volunteers and ask for people to

[1:00:55] help us

[1:00:56] um carry some of these ideas. If we, you

[1:00:58] know, pick a few of these and say these

[1:01:01] are the ones we want to make happen, um

[1:01:03] we could ask for help and it's not just

[1:01:05] staff time there, but staff would

[1:01:06] organize the the effort.

[1:01:09] >> That's

[1:01:10] I think that's a good idea.

[1:01:11] >> that's a good idea.

[1:01:12] >> So, maybe see if there's some interested

[1:01:14] people

[1:01:15] being willing to

[1:01:16] >> Yeah.

[1:01:17] >> join that committee or spearhead that.

[1:01:18] >> Yeah.

[1:01:19] We have met with Country Fair Days

[1:01:21] already and brought up the general

[1:01:22] concept of having America 250 as part of

[1:01:25] that and and they were amenable to that.

[1:01:27] If you remember, you probably know more

[1:01:29] than I do, but

[1:01:31] this is the 50th anniversary of Country

[1:01:34] Fair Days. It was specifically started

[1:01:36] at the Centennial. Um and and

[1:01:39] it was it was part of that's part of our

[1:01:42] Country Fair Days history is that

[1:01:43] Centennial. So, we'll always have

[1:01:46] those big milestones line up and that's

[1:01:49] kind of a a neat thing we have for us.

[1:01:51] So, they're aware of that. They didn't

[1:01:53] necessarily have grand plans necessarily

[1:01:56] around America 250, but they're amenable

[1:01:59] to that and if we had

[1:02:01] again, we'll we'll kind of spearhead the

[1:02:03] effort as staff. Uh I'll take that on

[1:02:05] myself and and see what other

[1:02:08] people we can drum up to to carry

[1:02:10] forward some of these ideas. So, if

[1:02:12] there's ones of those that have been

[1:02:14] listed, you specifically say yes, make

[1:02:16] that happen, then then tell me now.

[1:02:19] Otherwise, we'll use this list and maybe

[1:02:21] pick

[1:02:22] anywhere from three to five of them and try to make those happen.

[1:02:26] >> I think that's good.

[1:02:28] >> And any any other new ideas, too. We're

[1:02:30] open.

[1:02:30] >> Okay.

[1:02:31] >> There's some that we're already working

[1:02:32] on it. So,

[1:02:33] >> Okay.

[1:02:34] >> I'll send these to

[1:02:34] >> Is the council okay with that idea of

[1:02:36] saying let's focus in on, you know,

[1:02:38] three to five ideas and try to make sure

[1:02:40] >> Yeah. I'd rather do I'd rather do a few

[1:02:43] than a bunch.

[1:02:44] >> I do, too.

[1:02:45] >> Sounds great.

[1:02:48] » Okay, with that, we'll move on to uh got

[1:02:50] a couple of board meetings that we need

[1:02:52] to hold.

[1:02:53] Uh so, we'll look for a motion to

[1:02:55] suspend

[1:02:58] City Council and

[1:03:01] convene to our board meetings.

[1:03:04] >> So moved.

[1:03:05] >> Second.

[1:03:06] >> All in favor, say I.

[1:05:47] >> I.

[1:05:51] » Hey.

[1:05:54] We made that.

[1:05:55] Uh any new business or council

[1:05:59] uh

[1:06:02] Well, let's do new business. Any new

[1:06:03] business? Dave, have you got any new

[1:06:05] business?

[1:06:06] >> Not new business, just a couple reports.

[1:06:13] » What's your reports?

[1:06:14] >> You want me to do those now?

[1:06:15] >> Um

[1:06:18] » Robinson Waste was acquired by Republic

[1:06:20] Services.

[1:06:21] Um we do not have any changes to service

[1:06:24] delivery. Um

[1:06:26] contract's all okay, everything like

[1:06:28] that. Um

[1:06:30] over time we will probably see more of

[1:06:32] the big blue Republic Service trucks

[1:06:34] rather than the white Robinson. Uh but

[1:06:37] as of now, there's no changes to their

[1:06:40] service model. Um but

[1:06:43] >> They assumed the contracts we currently

[1:06:44] have?

[1:06:45] >> Yep. Everything is as is. Um Republic

[1:06:48] just simply acquired Robinson. So,

[1:06:51] branding and everything stays Robinson

[1:06:53] at this point. But that's uh something

[1:06:55] of note, I think, that the council

[1:06:56] should be aware of.

[1:06:58] Um I'd also like to just do a quick

[1:06:59] shout out to our water department for

[1:07:01] the way they handled the a water leak

[1:07:03] yesterday um on Kingston Drive. There

[1:07:06] was a little bit of an emergency water

[1:07:08] leak. Um it affected about 14 homes and

[1:07:11] they knocked on every door and let them

[1:07:12] know and jumped on that. Water was out

[1:07:16] uh for

[1:07:17] about 6 hours, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

[1:07:20] Um but they they did good work there and communicated well with those

[1:07:24] affected. So, I I just want to recognize that. Um

[1:07:30] based on other previous experience we've

[1:07:32] had with some contractors in the city

[1:07:34] who have not provided good notice and

[1:07:36] then roads have had to be closed and

[1:07:38] things like that. I know that creates a

[1:07:40] problem for the fire department, for the

[1:07:41] school buses, and others when when that

[1:07:44] happens and that was very frustrating.

[1:07:46] So,

[1:07:47] uh our water department handled

[1:07:48] themselves well and I just want to

[1:07:49] acknowledge that.

[1:07:50] >> Appreciate that. Just a follow-up detail

[1:07:52] question. What was the source of the

[1:07:54] leak? Was it a freeze thaw rupture of a

[1:07:56] gasket at a joint? Was it a pipe burst

[1:07:58] or somebody dug into it doing a

[1:08:01] >> I don't know I don't know what the cause

[1:08:03] was. Uh I can look into that and and

[1:08:06] send an email to the council and report

[1:08:07] on what that was.

[1:08:08] >> didn't dig into it. I saw where it was,

[1:08:18] actually could have been a mess in

[1:08:25] just pulled the joint apart.

[1:08:29] were digging.

[1:08:30] >> Awesome. That's good.
