Would anybody like to 31 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:47,440 make a motion for the basement flooding? Deputy mayor. Yeah, I'll make a motion 32 00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:52,239 to receive a file. We don't have any funds for that. We don't offer grants. 33 00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:57,280 We don't have the money to do that. The only thing that I'm aware of is that we 34 00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:01,599 offer 1,500. I think 1,500 for a backflow eliminator if it qualifies. We 35 00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:07,640 still do that. Yeah. But I think that's all we have for sanity. 36 00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:14,319 Okay. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. Secer Foster comment. Yep. 37 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,400 Through the mayor. I just want to say to the gentleman, um I also lived behind 38 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:25,680 Albert Boulevard and the house was built on a swamp back then. I repeatedly 39 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:30,239 flooded and um was told the um sump pump pits are too small. So, it may benefit 40 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:35,040 um I did have basement boss come in. I did have to um have a bigger sump pump 41 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:40,400 put in and I've never flooded nor have the new residents flooded since then. 42 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:46,879 So, that could be a help. Thank you, Councelor Brown. 43 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:51,280 I I think um he had the full gamut of uh replacement. Sounded like I don't know 44 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:56,720 if his sump pump was working or not, but um sounds like he's lived there for six 45 00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:05,120 years and didn't have a problem. So, I don't know what storms he's referring to 46 00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:11,159 exactly. So, did uh resident ever call back cuz I relayed that to him too that 47 00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:17,120 there was a we have a backflow program. I was back and forth with I 48 00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:20,959 forget which one he used a while ago. No, you've never had no correspondence 49 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:26,080 with anybody uh through the mayor. Now, I I don't don't know specifically if 50 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:31,840 this is the same individual, but the the backflow pretor is specifically for the 51 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:37,440 sanitary. Um I think this particular situation is more of a storm issue, but 52 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:44,400 um yeah, historically that area is one of the older areas um in in in the city 53 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:48,000 or in the village and I think that um yeah, it isn't quite designed to the 54 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:52,479 standard of some of the others. But regardless, there is a storm outlet 55 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:58,479 there. Um, you know, I don't know all the details of the situation, but yeah, 56 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:02,479 I think uh, you know, a contractor could help them through that, but there's 57 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,400 obviously an insurance avenue they can go if they have insurance, too. So, 58 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,639 yeah, that's that's the sifting stuff back there. So, that'd be God, 60 years 59 00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:15,199 old, probably. I would think in that range anyways. Okay. Anybody else? 60 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,520 Mayor. Oh, sorry. Uh, the gentleman doesn't have a sump 61 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,440 pump. There is no place for one and he's sitting right here if you want to ask me 62 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,440 questions 63 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:33,919 through the mayor. Welcome. Um and without the sump pump as well. I was 64 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:37,840 speaking um with Mr. Neely and we were just discussing it's part of you know 65 00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:42,400 unfortunately homeowners maintenance the age of the home and things will break 66 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,520 down. So you know I wish if we wanted to help you we would open up a can of 67 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,080 worms. We'd be helping everybody. It's just something you're going to have to 68 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:56,160 um basement boss. Well, I can't endorse any of any of them, but I know I did 69 00:05:52,160 --> 00:06:00,320 have good luck with um Okay. Um through the mayor, you can come 70 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,240 up. Yeah.

Just click 72 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,880 that till the There you go. Thank you. Hi, my name is Steve Mai. We're live at 73 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,039 504 Albert Boulevard. Um, I've looked into I did call public works and ask 74 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:22,720 about the backup valve as we discussed. Um, I completely understand that this is 75 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:29,120 a homeowner issue. Um, however, several other cities um, municipalities have a 76 00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:33,919 grant for waterproofing and subp pumps and it's new sub pumps only, not 77 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:39,280 replacements or not, um, adding a backup. So, I fit the criteria for other 78 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:44,400 communities. So, I've looked into that and I'm again just I understand that 79 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:49,360 budget's budget and that's why I'm here to ask and I've like I said I've done 80 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:54,720 all the homework as much as I can. Um and unfortunately like nobody has the 81 00:06:52,319 --> 00:07:01,520 kind of money just laying around so it does you know take a heat. Um and I do 82 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:06,560 understand that that this is a issue that Corona does have. Um, and yes, I 83 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,319 understand that, you know, everyone might be knocking on the door, but 84 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:16,639 again, there's uh there's room for a discussion about a grant and meeting 85 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:22,960 certain protocols. Um, and that's what I just wanted to convey today. Okay. Thank 86 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:29,759 you. So, thank you. Thanks for coming. We got a lot of music up here. 87 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:34,080 Did I call that? Okay. All in favor of the motion carried. 88 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:46,240 Be it resolved that the request for a temporary road closure of Brighgam Road 89 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:50,639 between Boswell and Jane Street as well as Jane Street from Brighgam Road to 90 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:56,720 Duncan Street and Boswell from Duncan to Brighgam Road from 12:30 till 2 on 91 00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:01,759 September 21st 25 to help facilitate the Legion drumhead ceremony be approved. Do 92 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:09,680 we have a mover for this? Councelor Brown. Second. Councelor 93 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,680 Myers. All those in favor? 94 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:16,240 Carried. Be it resolved that the Brigden Fair Committee be permitted to place a 95 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:20,879 temporary banner across the street at the main intersection in Brigden to 96 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:26,160 promote the 175th anniversary of the Brigden Fair from August to October. 97 00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:30,720 Deputy Mayor, I'd like to ask staff's opinion on that before I make a motion 98 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:37,279 to do it. Good. Anybody wants to speak to this one? Okay. All right. 99 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:41,200 Uh, yeah, I do have some concerns. Um, the letter does state that this banner 100 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:46,320 had been put up in the past. Um, I don't know what year that happened and I don't 101 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:52,000 know where exactly it was located. Um but um my main concern is it I'm I'm 102 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:56,240 have to assume that they're going they want to put it up from hydropole to 103 00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:01,040 hydropole because there is no other polls in Brigden. No street light poles 104 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:05,279 owned by the township. So in that case we don't own the poles and we don't have 105 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:10,519 the permission or authority to say yes or no attach something to these poles. 106 00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:15,600 Also, uh I just a reminder that in Corona, 107 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,959 this came up a number of years ago, maybe 20 years ago, maybe uh putting 108 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:27,680 banners up, there's specific banner poles on Lindoc Street around Service 109 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:33,920 Ontario kind of area that were specifically designed to take the wind 110 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:38,560 loads of banners. Um so, and Brigden doesn't have such a thing. So, I just 111 00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:44,720 wanted to make those two comments. Okay. That's across the county road 112 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:50,120 also, is it not? Well, they're not saying where I in the letter. Yeah. If 113 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:56,080 it's across Courtray line, that is county, but if it's across Brigden Road, 114 00:09:52,480 --> 00:10:01,839 then that's us. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, what would you like to do with this now? 115 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:06,320 I would like to do uh through the mayor. I would like to do as um councelor said 116 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,959 Miller said refer to staff let them work with more egg culture to come up with a 117 00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:11,959 solution. 118 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:23,560 You okay with that David?

Uh, be it resolved that the street 203 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:44,160 sweeper replacement report as submitted by coordinative operations David Neely 204 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:51,120 be received and that the Joe Johnson equipment quote utilizing the Kado Group 205 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:59,080 procurement system for the purchase of a new 2025 Algen Pelican dual broom 206 00:17:55,120 --> 00:18:07,440 three-wheel sweeper at a total cost of 385986 including net HST using single 207 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:16,000 source procurement under section 86 C of the procurement bylaw policy 59 bylaw 59 208 00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:21,400 excuse me of 2024 be approved mover for that one got some tongue twisters 209 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:28,240 tonight deputy mayor second her councelor Foster any 210 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:34,320 questions councelor Brown thank you mayor Agar so we have enough money in 211 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:40,240 this and the sounds like a good deal for us and but we have to buy a a truck and 212 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:47,720 trailer to move this around. Is it does this unit have the same capabilities of 213 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,720 what the full size one has? 214 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:53,840 Uh yes, it does have the same capabilities. Um it uh we don't have to 215 00:18:52,080 --> 00:19:00,559 buy a truck. We already own the trucks like the tandem trucks. We simply just 216 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:05,760 need to buy a um uh it's dovetailed trailer that we could drive it up on uh 217 00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:11,600 and just drive it around as a unit rather than wasting time. Uh it like my 218 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:17,840 report says it does have a drawback of going 40 km an hour maximum. So um 219 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:23,520 that's the reason for that. Uh so it'd be approximately $30,000 more to buy 220 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:29,600 this trailer. um which will still be well within the capital budget for that 221 00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:34,799 item. Thank you. So are you keeping the other one too? 222 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:40,520 No, we would be uh selling that off as surplus. So just using that? Yeah. Okay. 223 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:45,440 Thanks. Anybody else? All those in favor? Carried. 224 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:49,520 Uh, be it resolved that the June 2nd community services information report as 225 00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:54,799 submitted by director of community services Kendall Lindseay be received. 226 00:19:51,919 --> 00:19:54,799 Have a move for 227 00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:03,400 this.

Council Foster through the mayor to Kendall. So have a 230 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:21,280 question about the tennis courts. Um the contractor uh you've been unable to 231 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:25,600 multiple tents unable to get any him to finish the courts or what's the status 232 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:29,360 there? Yeah, through the chair. Um yeah, we've 233 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:34,080 had some issues getting him back on the job this spring. Um so we've been trying 234 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:38,480 to get him motivated to get back there. Um we've seen a lot of work over the 235 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,840 last couple like couple days last week at the end of the week and then this 236 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:47,600 weekend. But we're trying every avenue to make sure he moves moves forward and 237 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:50,720 gets the job done. Okay. Thank you. They get the painting done though, right? So 238 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,679 they're working on the actual court now. Yeah. I think what was outstanding, I 239 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,520 know Sue is not here, but there was a lot of fence issues that needed to be 240 00:20:55,039 --> 00:21:01,919 done and uh those have been she went up this morning. She told me she was quite 241 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:05,120 happy with the fence work. Um some of the concrete work she wasn't happy with, 242 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:08,000 so it needed to be addressed. Um, so she was going to get after about that, but 243 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,280 all the grading had been done and that's what needed to be, you know, they needed 244 00:21:09,919 --> 00:21:16,559 to finish the grading before we could get in and finish the the surfacing on 245 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:21,200 the court. Uh, she does have a meeting, I believe, tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. We we 246 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:25,840 are with a um a fellow that's helping us out this Clive. He has a um kind of an 247 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,400 expert on courts and put a lot in the area. So, she's meeting with him 248 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,760 tomorrow. She'll have a better idea where we're at and by then I'm hoping 249 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:36,000 that we can kind of come up with a timeline. Perfect. There'll be a lot of 250 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:41,120 pickle ballers happy when it's done. Thank you. 251 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:48,559 Uh, anybody else? Yeah. Council Brown, I just uh wanted to ask uh Kendall the um 252 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:53,720 Guthrie Park washroom renovation. Any uh contractor in place to start that or 253 00:21:53,840 --> 00:22:00,240 uh through the chair. I was um I was hoping that that might be a task for our 254 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:07,400 new coordinator of facilities once they came on board. some of some of that work 255 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:07,400 would start to get tackled the backlog. 256 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:14,480 Good. When's uh Seager I think it's Seager get back into motion here. 257 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:20,880 Kendall done. Yeah, it's through the chair. So 258 00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:24,000 the last I want to say about 10 days ago probably the finished they finished 259 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,919 putting the sod down. Uh Williams put the sod down so it was local. Um a lot 260 00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:31,760 of it took real nice but some of it didn't on the slopes. So, we had some 261 00:22:29,919 --> 00:22:37,840 deficiencies there. They went in and replaced it all on I believe Friday, the 262 00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:43,440 sod. Um, and then so now we're getting very close. Um, we've asked them for 6 263 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:47,799 weeks to clean up the fence and stuff and they they haven't got to it. Um, but 264 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,440 I'm hoping the fence can come down. I'm hoping by the end of next week 265 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,960 the fence could come down and could get cleaned up and the park can get open. 266 00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:00,240 Good. Yeah, it looks it looks really good. Yeah, I'm really happy with the 267 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:04,400 the work. The it's it's really nice. The features is a step down. The one bay has 268 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:09,440 a step down with the railing. Yeah. And I really like the way they finished it 269 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:13,360 with the posts look good. Um I think we need to replace a lot of our posts over 270 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:17,120 the years have been weed whacked and trimmed to death and be nice to carry 271 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:24,080 that through the whole all the river parks. Perfect. Thank you. Anybody else? 272 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:27,200 All those in favor? Carried. Uh, be it resolved that Kundai 273 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:32,159 campground report as submitted by coordinator of facilities and 274 00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:35,559 parksite be received and that funding the cost associated with the necessary 275 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:40,240 ditch excavation, catch basin repairs and the 276 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:46,000 purchase and installation of a grinder pump from the campground reserve be 277 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,000 approved. Do we have a 278 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:57,600 moder? Anybody have any questions on this? Seeing none, all those in favor? 279 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:08,559 Carried. I will wait for the bylaw. So, notice of motion. Councelor Holly 280 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:14,159 Foster, you want to explain your motion? Sure. My motion um for the finance 281 00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:19,360 department to give us quarterly reviews as well as um the last five years and 282 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:25,039 three years forward of our reserves. The reason being being new to council, I've 283 00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:29,360 many times I was um confused where the money is coming from, how the money is 284 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:32,960 being handled. And I think if we um provided a quarterly update on our 285 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:37,520 finances, that's going to be helpful for me and hopefully with council making 286 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:42,720 decisions moving forward and as well the reserves because I know there's been 287 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:46,480 some like especially for myself some um questioning um how the difference of the 288 00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:50,799 reserves have been handled. then I'll be able to understand it as well as council 289 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:57,120 um too. So that's the reason for this motion. It's more clarific more 290 00:24:52,960 --> 00:25:02,480 clarification and helping with future um uh decisions. Okay. So you moved it. Do 291 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:06,799 I have a second for that motion? Councelor Langus. Any questions? Deputy 292 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:13,360 mayor. Yeah. I'd like to know, George, how much more work is this going to be 293 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:18,080 through the mayor? It will be quite a quite a bit a few days extra work 294 00:25:15,919 --> 00:25:22,960 depending on what you're asking for. If you're talking about a variance report 295 00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:27,919 like a variance from budget, I could add it to the financial statements uh in say 296 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:34,720 June and September at year end. We already do that. So we do have one 297 00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:41,200 coming up for the 2024 year end. But uh it will add a couple days extra work. 298 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:45,919 Is that the third body too? Like I see you have Charlie in here quite a bit 299 00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:51,520 too. Is that that would add to that? Yes. Yes. We'd we'd probably Yeah. get 300 00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:56,960 Charlie to help probably we'll we'll figure it out somehow to get it done if 301 00:25:53,279 --> 00:26:00,159 council wants us. Yeah. The mayor. I understand it may take 302 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:05,360 more, but I think it's extremely helpful. A lot of municipalities do this 303 00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:09,279 as well, and it prepares council um to know where where they're sitting 304 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:15,039 financially. So, that was the reason. Okay. Anybody else? 305 00:26:11,679 --> 00:26:20,799 Council Brown. Well, I'm just I understand where councelor Foster's 306 00:26:17,919 --> 00:26:26,120 request is, but is it necessary to go back for 5 years? And I would think that 307 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:30,640 would be 308 00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:38,279 extremely a lot of soulsearching. We we we do get our financial statements. 309 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:44,200 I I believe that we see them quarterly now on the different uh 310 00:26:42,159 --> 00:26:50,320 accounts when we get the accounts but I think five years is is a 311 00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:53,679 little too extreme. Counselor through the mayor. I would like to ask this to 312 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:58,679 be tabled to the next meeting then when we have councelor Lang staff so that we 313 00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:03,640 can have everybody's input. Okay. Anybody like to second that? 314 00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:18,600 Lang is the table that's the next meeting. All those in favor one, 315 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:25,840 two, three, four. Okay, carried. Uh, 316 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:31,919 bylaws. Be it resolved that the bylaw 18 of 25 encroachment agreement brine 317 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:36,159 pipeline receive all three readings and thereby passed and that the mayor and 318 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:43,080 clerk be authorized to execute the bylaws and any agreements there too. 319 00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:48,520 Mover. Councelor Brown. Seconder. Deputy mayor. Any questions? 320 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:54,159 Councelor Brown. I I guess this is an existing 321 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:59,200 brine pipeline from reading through this. An existing 12-in brine pipeline 322 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:04,640 that we're that Enbridge is taking over from the previous owner, General 323 00:28:01,559 --> 00:28:11,640 Chemical. And to my knowledge, we didn't have an agreement previously. Okay. 324 00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:11,640 Well, good work. 325 00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:20,520 Anybody else? All those in favor? Carried. 326 00:28:18,159 --> 00:28:23,919 Uh, let's go. Counselor's reports. Councelor 327 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:33,120 Brown. Well, thank you, uh, Mayor Edgar. Uh, the last two weeks have been, 328 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:39,120 uh, doing a lot of yard work myself. So, I only had one meeting, which was the, 329 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:47,039 uh, St. Clair River Trail meeting uh held on the 28th of May. So that's 330 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:51,919 it. Thank you, Councelor Foster. Yeah, since the last um I missed the last 331 00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:56,320 meeting um council meeting, but I prior to that I attended the golf course um 332 00:28:54,240 --> 00:29:02,080 meeting. And then just an update, I had a constituent ask about flags in Krena. 333 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:07,279 So, I learned um uh through staff that each town is allowed two banners or two 334 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:12,640 lit or sorry, two um yeah, two banners. Uh Krena already has two banners. Um 335 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:18,080 technically or they use the lift truck twice, Christmas lights and then for the 336 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:22,760 veterans banners. So, um if there's anybody wondering why we can't have can 337 00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:30,159 of flags, that was a request. um the cost they would maybe um we already have 338 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:35,360 two times that council already passed uh I don't think it was a bylaw but maybe a 339 00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:39,760 intention that only two times staff would be lifting and putting up 340 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:46,720 different uh things in each town. So that's it. Thank you deputy mayor. 341 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:52,799 Uh I attended a committee uh meeting of county uh committee of adjustment 342 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:58,080 meeting. I stopped in at the uh book sale in Corona on Friday. How'd you make 343 00:29:55,279 --> 00:30:01,279 out, Tracy? Pretty good. Couldn't count people. 344 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,320 Look pretty busy when I was there anyway. 345 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:11,440 Good. And I also uh was at the river trail run yesterday. That's it. Thank 346 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:16,840 you. What kind of book did you buy? I didn't. Just left a donation. I don't 347 00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:21,440 need any more books. Thought I'd catch Langus. 348 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:27,520 On the 21st, I was at the St. Clair Heritage meeting and this month. I have 349 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:32,080 a question about the abandoned equipment on more line that cable runner or 350 00:30:30,399 --> 00:30:36,960 whatever the heck that thing is that's growing grass around it. They've been 351 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:43,600 cutting their property and still sitting there. Didn't turn my mic on. 352 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:47,600 Yeah, I'm familiar with that. Um, it's a directional drilling machine. Uh, it's 353 00:30:45,679 --> 00:30:51,600 owned by Flex Forward, the company that's putting Kojico's fiber in. I'm 354 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:58,799 not sure why they've left it there that long, but I I can follow up with my 355 00:30:54,240 --> 00:31:03,279 contact for them and ask him to move it. Good. 356 00:31:00,399 --> 00:31:09,760 Councelor Myers, uh, I think the only thing I had was a 357 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:14,559 heritage meeting on the 21st of May. Um, and since nobody else has mentioned it, 358 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:21,120 happy anniversary to the mayor and and the first lady. Thank you. Thank you 359 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:25,720 very much. Yeah, 40 years. Yeah, I know. It's It's I don't know how 360 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:31,279 she's lasted that long with me, but she is. I know why I've stayed, but I don't 361 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:37,279 know why she stayed. Thanks, Bill. Very nice. Um, so I had a county meeting, a 362 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:42,240 senior advisory committee. We do need a rep for this from St. Clair. So, I think 363 00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:47,440 Terry was gonna get it to put it on our website, but if anybody knows anything 364 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,240 out in YouTubeville there about a senior that would like to, not even a senior, 365 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:55,120 just somebody that would like to go on that committee, uh, it'd be nice to have 366 00:31:52,799 --> 00:32:00,559 one on there. I'm the county rep on it, so I'm not really the Slair rep, but I'm 367 00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:04,000 taking care of it right now. So, anyways, that would be a good thing if 368 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:11,360 we could come up with a rep. uh I went to law's meeting and with that down on 369 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:16,159 40 and uh white line with the with the water main breakd down there I did make 370 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:21,120 a motion to uh receive compensation for the lost water on that. So they're going 371 00:32:18,159 --> 00:32:26,240 to wait till it's fixed up. I think the the fix on that was what, Brian? 150 or 372 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:30,480 something something in that. I can't think of it right now. But so anyways, 373 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:36,640 that's still in the works. If you get any calls from people down that way, uh 374 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:40,440 attended the river run yesterday. Didn't run. Me and the deputy mayor ran from 375 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,480 the parking lot. I guess I went I was on a Zoom re the 376 00:32:44,159 --> 00:32:51,919 research park board meeting today and that's it. 377 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:56,159 Oh, okay.
