[0:26] >> All right, we're looking for approval of
[0:27] tonight's agenda.
[0:31] Everything on there we need.
[0:32] >> Good to go from our end. Move to

[0:35] >> Second.
[0:36] All

[0:38] >> Opposed. That carried. Approval of
[0:41] council meeting minutes of the regular
[0:43] meeting of August 10th, 2026.
[0:46] >> Make a motion to approve those minutes.
[0:48] >> We have a motion to approve. Do we have
[0:50] a second?
[0:51] >> Second. Do
[0:52] >> we have questions or discussion?
[0:55] Hearing none. All in favor say I.
[0:57] opposed.
[0:59] That'll take us to finance and budget.
[1:02] Once again, you have the accounts
[1:03] payable, the additional payable, and the
[1:05] electronic invoices. Any questions?
[1:07] Please direct them to finance officer
[1:09] Kelly.
[1:17] » I'll make a motion to approve.
[1:19] >> I'll second.
[1:20] >> We have a motion in a second. Questions
[1:22] or discussion?
[1:24] Hearing none, all in favor say I. I
[1:26] opposed. That'll carry. That takes us
[1:28] into motions of general business.
[1:30] First item tonight under motions of
[1:32] general business
[1:33] is receptionist position.
[1:40] Hiring of city hall receptionist.
[1:43] Personnel committee directed staff to
[1:44] conduct interviews with six finalist
[1:46] applicants along with city administrator
[1:48] Shiml, finance officer Grabo, four of
[1:51] the receptionist.
[1:53] This position is a paygrade five. They
[1:56] are recommending Lisa King. She is no
[1:59] relation to Mayor King for the position.
[2:04] So the council action requested is to
[2:07] approve the hiring of Lisa King for the
[2:08] receptionist position.
[2:09] >> I'll move to
[2:10] >> We have a motion. Do we have a second?
[2:12] >> I'll second that.
[2:13] >> We have questions or discussion.
[2:18] » All right. All in favor say I.
[2:20] >> I. Opposed. That'll carry. When will she
[2:22] start?
[2:24] >> September 10th.
[2:25] >> Um, we're looking at September 10th.
[2:27] >> Okay.
[2:27] >> So, couple weeks out.
[2:31] >> All right. Next item. Second Avenue
[2:33] Northwest Extension Project. It's a
[2:36] change order, guys.
[2:40] What kind of a change order? Uh, Schuman
[2:43] Business Park, Second Avenue Northwest
[2:44] Extension Project. Change order number
[2:47] one and release. Enclosed are two items
[2:50] for review and approval for the Schuman
[2:52] Business Park, Second Avenue, Northwest
[2:54] Extension.
[2:55] The first item is a change order in the
[2:57] amount of $3,997.96
[3:00] to Elcore Construction for time of
[3:03] material work completed as part of the
[3:04] Second Avenue Northwest Extension
[3:06] project. This work was necessary to
[3:08] adjust the hydrant following a staking
[3:10] error identified on June 10th, 2026.
[3:14] Corrective work was completed on June
[3:16] 12th, 2026. That's item one.
[3:20] Item two,
[3:22] do we need to two motions on this,
[3:24] Cheryl?
[3:25] >> No, just one second.
[3:27] >> Item two, the second item is a re
[3:30] release related to the issue which will
[3:32] allow SE to make a payment in the amount
[3:34] of 3,997
[3:37] to the city of Sturville for the staking
[3:39] error. Because SE does not have a
[3:42] contract with Elcore Construction,
[3:44] payment will be made to the city of
[3:46] Sturville. The city will then pass the
[3:47] payment to Elco including the change
[3:49] order and next project payment request.
[3:54] So the council has requested is to
[3:56] approve or deny the change order number
[3:57] one and subsequent release.
[4:00] Questions or discussion?
[4:04] Everybody understands kind of pass
[4:06] through.
[4:06] >> Yep.
[4:09] >> Do we have a motion then?
[4:10] >> I'll make the motion
[4:11] >> to approve.
[4:12] Do we have a second?
[4:15] >> Second. We have a motion in a second. No
[4:17] discussion or questions. All in favor
[4:20] say I.
[4:20] >> I.
[4:21] >> Opposed.
[4:24] » Now public works.
[4:29] You got public works on your
[4:33] capital equipment plan. Replace the 2023
[4:36] S770 skid steer with Bobcat L95 which is
[4:40] a compact motor.
[4:43] As per the approved 2026 capital
[4:45] equipment plan and the 2026 budget, the
[4:48] S770 skid steer is being recommended for
[4:51] replacement. Cost replacement for the
[4:53] skid steer with the L95
[4:57] is 107,14389
[5:01] which includes a box blade. We'll be
[5:03] trading in the S770 to Bobcat a value of
[5:06] 425.
[5:08] Bring the final cost down to 64,64389.
[5:13] We are adjusting our capital equipment
[5:15] purchase to stay within the allocated
[5:17] budget for the year. We are using state
[5:20] contract pricing with source well
[5:22] through Sco Bobcat. Recommend using our
[5:24] local dealership for this purchase.
[5:28] Council action requested will be to
[5:30] approve or deny the purchase of the L95
[5:32] compact wheel. Questions or discussion?
[5:36] I would like to just explain one thing.
[5:38] We have a long time talked about getting
[5:41] something that we can do culde-sacs
[5:42] with. We have the tractor we use in
[5:44] southeast, but northeast we have most of
[5:46] our complaints and we're using pickups
[5:48] and you just can't do. So, we have
[5:50] talked for quite a while. We've
[5:51] mentioned leasing a loader or something.
[5:53] Uh it was a group decision with all the
[5:55] guys down there to push the tractor back
[5:57] this year to next year and get this
[5:59] purchase. Now, uh we wouldn't be adding
[6:02] necessarily a piece of equipment. we'd
[6:04] be getting a more expensive piece of
[6:05] equipment, but it would replace one of
[6:07] our skid steers, so we're not adding
[6:08] more equipment, and it would help take
[6:10] care of that issue. We demoed it and
[6:12] tried it out, and the guys were very
[6:14] happy. Just as a further discussion, you
[6:17] and I had that day here in the office
[6:18] here a week ago. Did you ever take it
[6:20] back to them about looking at a tele
[6:23] handler that you could use and get rid
[6:24] of the bucket truck and still plow, you
[6:27] could put a man cage on, and do all the
[6:28] work?
[6:29] >> They're a lot more expensive.
[6:30] >> Well, I understand. I didn't replace two
[6:32] pieces of equipment that
[6:38] so yeah I
[6:40] this is what they discussed and what we
[6:43] talked about down there we've talked
[6:44] about the teller handler in the past
[6:48] but
[6:51] yeah
[6:54] >> you got anything
[6:59] and this is this is new and this new to
[7:01] you guys. So any discussion I'm fine
[7:03] with and not saying
[7:05] >> this is what public works as a group
[7:06] came up with and the guys are the ones
[7:08] that
[7:08] >> I'm just asking if you ever if they
[7:10] discuss you get rid of two pieces of
[7:12] equipment.
[7:12] >> Yeah. Yeah.
[7:13] >> Do we know do you know Lewis work doing uh culdeacs?
[7:20] >> Yeah it it'll I'm not worried about
[7:22] that. It It's a handy uh like Jimmy
[7:26] said, you you want to keep a skid, why
[7:28] not just use a skid steer in the
[7:29] culde-sac set? This goes 25 mph down the
[7:32] road where the skid steer goes 12. Uh
[7:35] you're going to have a 10 foot wide
[7:37] blade on the front of this for doing
[7:38] them. Uh it sits up higher. It it turns
[7:41] on. I mean, it it's actually I was
[7:44] impressed with it when I jumped in and I
[7:46] had run one before.
[7:47] >> My other question was uh the Bobcat
[7:50] you're getting rid of. I mean I mean are
[7:51] you going to miss it? I mean,
[7:53] >> we have we have two other this is things
[7:55] we propose to the guys. We have two
[7:57] other skid steers. One's out the
[7:58] wastewater plant, but we use that on the
[8:00] sidewalks. And then we have another T66.
[8:03] Uh when it comes time to trade that, we
[8:05] might trade it up to a bigger one. Not
[8:06] for sure. Uh but that comes up in a
[8:09] couple years or that would be traded,
[8:10] but we still have a skid steer for doing
[8:12] stuff. We need a skid steer. The one
[8:14] you're getting rid of. Is it a wheel
[8:15] skid steer?
[8:20] » Jeremiah, you got anything? We got that
[8:22] tool kit. So, we used to use the skid
[8:23] steer in the parking lots and stuff with
[8:25] the loader. The guys that do it are the
[8:27] ones saying, "I just use the tool kit
[8:30] and doing that stuff or the 660 or as
[8:35] much as the 770.
[8:38] » I I mean I I'm not both. I've never run
[8:43] one before. Tool cap."
[8:44] >> Well, the thing worries me a little bit
[8:45] is we got turf tires on this and you may
[8:47] have to get another set of tires. We'll
[8:48] see how it goes. But with that, we're
[8:51] always angled with it.
[8:52] >> We're not piling with it cuz we went to
[8:54] it with the thing and then the loader
[8:56] pushes it up and piles. So,
[8:58] >> there's little loader will fit trails
[9:00] and stuff, too.
[9:01] >> Yeah.
[9:02] >> Okay.
[9:04] >> Flexibility, right?
[9:05] >> Yeah.
[9:06] >> It's more flexibility with what a
[9:09] bobcat, right?
[9:10] >> Well, there are some things you're going
[9:12] to give up not having that Bobcat, but
[9:14] we have other Bobcat for those needs if
[9:16] we need to. I mean, if we need to get in
[9:18] a yard, we want the track bobcat
[9:20] probably anyway, and that's where this
[9:22] loader is going to be a little heavier
[9:23] than the Bobcat. So, getting in grass
[9:25] areas, you're not going to use as much
[9:26] of that. But the guys think we have
[9:28] enough covered with the other two that
[9:30] we can make it work. So, Greg, you got
[9:33] anything?
[9:34] >> I think there should be pictures
[9:35] attached to all these. I know what they
[9:37] are talking about.
[9:37] >> Oh, yeah.
[9:40] >> I got this figured out.
[9:42] >> Put a video on there, too. He started he
[9:43] just rattled off like
[9:44] >> switch over there and punch in L95 and
[9:46] you'll see it.
[9:48] >> I googled it earlier today. So
[9:50] >> yeah,
[9:51] >> it I was I'll be honest with you. I
[9:53] jumped in to ground lot. I was never
[9:56] been out before. I was impressed with
[9:57] how it and every guy down there they
[9:59] brought it down and drowned it for a
[10:01] day. The guys could take it out and do
[10:02] some stuff with it and all the guys came
[10:04] back. Yeah, that is
[10:06] >> it's like a mini front load right where
[10:08] it
[10:09] >> kind of twists in the middle.
[10:10] >> Yep. Articulity.
[10:12] That's couldn't think of the words.
[10:17] >> That's why we thought trail use is going
[10:18] to be good, too. You know, we get more
[10:20] and more requests for keeping the trails
[10:22] open as much as we can all year long.
[10:25] So, that flexibility should be here as
[10:26] well.
[10:27] >> Just question with that uh articulated
[10:30] Bobcat, you're able to use all the other
[10:33] attachments that you use on the Bobcat.
[10:34] >> It's got a standard uh skid steer
[10:37] attachment for the front. So, all of our
[10:38] buckets, all of our attachments, it'll
[10:40] have high flow. We can run everything
[10:41] off that that we can run off our six
[10:43] years, which is another big plus.
[10:46] >> All right, questions.
[10:48] >> That was actually going to be my my
[10:50] question was like
[10:54] tonight.
[10:55] >> He did he did call me today and have me
[10:57] go out and look at he's got a bigger
[10:58] material bucket he said he'd throw in
[11:00] for the same cost and not get the other
[11:03] bucket. And when we looked at it, we
[11:05] have the other bucket for our skid steer
[11:07] already anyway. So, he's going to come.
[11:09] which will be nice cuz we'll a lot of
[11:11] times we can use that for loading trucks
[11:12] down there with salt sand because this
[11:14] will be tall enough it'll load dump
[11:16] trucks and stuff like that.
[11:19] >> I'm also glad to see that it's got cup
[11:21] holders cuz we don't want
[11:24] >> coffee.
[11:31] » I hope the swinging one so it's
[11:34] >> it doesn't spill.
[11:35] >> Yeah.
[11:37] >> All right. and all the questions
[11:38] answered.
[11:40] All right.
[11:42] So, we need a motion to either approve
[11:43] or deny.
[11:44] >> I'll make the motion to approve that.
[11:46] >> We need a second.
[11:48] >> Second.
[11:48] >> All in favor say I.
[11:51] >> Opposed.
[11:53] Also carry
[11:55] public works. purchase of a Chevy
[11:57] Silverado
[12:03] as uh for the capital equipment plan for
[12:07] 2026 and the 2026 budget. Purchase of a
[12:10] pickup for public works was budgeted of
[12:13] 55,000.
[12:15] We received bids from our local
[12:16] dealership and surrounding communities.
[12:18] House Chevrolet 46,96 plus tax and
[12:22] license in stock for 26. Move some 46212
[12:27] tax and license would be in order for 26
[12:30] roster Chevy 47245
[12:33] tax and licensing stock.
[12:36] So council action requested to either
[12:38] approve or deny the purchase of a Chevy
[12:40] Silverado 1500 crew cab truck. Questions
[12:43] or discussions?
[12:46] When they say in stock, not sitting on
[12:48] the block here, two weeks or whatever.
[12:53] Greg said he has two of them. Uh Lewon's
[12:56] would be in order. They were low, but
[12:59] that would be in order. Uh and that's up
[13:01] to you guys to decide what the
[13:02] difference. Everything was apples to
[13:04] apples.
[13:05] I I'll have to go through Greg's cuz his
[13:08] has coating, but before we would
[13:10] actually make the purchase, I would make
[13:11] this and make sure that it is. It's if
[13:13] you look at those things, they throw it
[13:15] in as a package and I don't know what
[13:17] else in that package. So, I'm going to
[13:18] have to have him break it down for sure.
[13:21] Um, in order to get one of these, like
[13:23] if if you ended up going to the Lewins
[13:25] and you had to order it, they got to be
[13:26] in by this Friday. So, we pushed this
[13:28] ahead faster than what I planned on in
[13:31] case that was the route, then we could
[13:32] get the order. Otherwise, it's going to
[13:34] the 27s after Friday and we'd be at
[13:37] price pump.
[13:38] >> I'll make a motion from Chevrolet.
[13:42] >> I pref I prefer that as well, assuming
[13:44] that everything comes back.
[13:46] >> There you go. Yeah, that's fine. Per
[13:48] specs.
[13:50] Yeah, I'll second that. Then as long as
[13:52] that's added on there.
[13:55] >> Any other questions or discussions?
[13:59] » Josh, no.
[14:01] >> All in favor say I.
[14:03] >> I oppose. That'll carry.
[14:06] >> Takes us to 2026
[14:08] general election. Approval of election
[14:10] judge.
[14:13] Additional election judges. Following
[14:15] the primary election, we have determined
[14:16] that one additional election judge is
[14:18] needed at the American Legion polling
[14:20] place. Additionally, one judge
[14:22] previously scheduled to work the general
[14:24] election will be unable to serve.
[14:29] We are requesting approval for the
[14:30] following election judges.
[14:33] Summer
[14:34] >> Mona and John Bernard.
[14:38] Uh council action requested would be to
[14:40] approve the above election judges for
[14:42] the election general election. Questions
[14:45] or discussion
[14:48] hearing? None. Do we have a motion?
[14:49] >> I'll make a motion to approve.
[14:51] >> Motion to approve. Do we have a second?
[14:55] >> All in favor say I.
[14:56] >> I.
[14:56] >> Oppose. That'll carry. That takes us out
[15:00] of motion. General business. Mayor staff
[15:01] consult reports. Mayor's report today.
[15:06] Uh, city of Sturville like to send their
[15:08] sympathies to the fan families of Linda
[15:10] Glass, Jim
[15:13] Jackal, J Schroeder, Judy D. Young, and
[15:17] Dolly Parton.
[15:20] She did pass
[15:22] today.
[15:27] » Bearcave concerts. No concert tomorrow
[15:29] night. The last one of the season is
[15:31] next Wednesday, September 2nd. It's in
[15:35] the fields. It'll be a good one. It'll
[15:36] be a big one for you.
[15:40] Before the concert, stop out to the
[15:42] United Methodist Church Farmers Market
[15:45] Cruisers car show every Friday night.
[15:47] Great cars last Friday. Thank you,
[15:50] Chief, for being there in the dunk tank.
[15:52] Usually, you must not have got to call
[15:54] this year. You guys,
[15:57] >> Chief was there. I was there. I don't
[16:00] know who else ended up getting in there.
[16:01] I suppose Kai did.
[16:03] >> Yep.
[16:04] >> Yeah. Super Dave.
[16:06] >> I wasn't over over there. It was
[16:08] >> I think Super Dave got
[16:12] » it was a good night. I hope they I hope
[16:13] you got good and cold.
[16:15] >> Was it?
[16:15] >> I hope you got good and cold.
[16:17] >> No, the water's pretty warm by the time
[16:19] I got in there.
[16:20] >> Maybe something happened while I was
[16:23] >> That's what I suspected. I was trying
[16:25] not to think about it.
[16:29] » That's why I always go first.
[16:33] Hey, good luck to our SHs fall sports
[16:36] teams. Let's repeat last year. They had
[16:38] a fantastic year. They start right up uh
[16:41] not this Friday, but the Friday after is
[16:43] the first game.
[16:44] >> Football does, but volleyball is already
[16:46] going.
[16:46] >> Volleyball is going to be
[16:51] >> plays Thursday, too.
[16:52] >> Volleyball plays Thursday and soccer
[16:54] plays Thursday.
[16:55] >> Really? At least girls soccer.
[16:56] >> They got some scrimmages Saturday. I
[16:58] know that
[16:59] >> football does. So, it'd be a great year.
[17:02] A lot of kids out, a lot of attendance.
[17:04] All right. Thanks, Tigers.
[17:07] That's all I've got. Uh, city minister's
[17:11] report. Yep. Reports in your packet.
[17:14] Obviously, above ground is starting at
[17:15] the library and Nate can hit on that.
[17:18] But got a couple pictures there for you.
[17:20] Um, and then the only other thing is
[17:21] Sean and I met with Mandot um as they're
[17:24] reviewing and figuring out this paving
[17:27] schedule and detouring schedule. So,
[17:30] right now the thinking is they'd like to
[17:32] close this section during the duration
[17:35] of that construction. All the residents
[17:37] would be allowed access. Uh we'd figure
[17:40] out signage for the businesses, but it
[17:43] helps them get more done with safety in
[17:45] mind and gets it done faster probably is
[17:49] what they're thinking is. So, they're
[17:52] worried about completing it next season
[17:55] if they don't start that late. Yeah. So,
[17:57] their original thought was to try to do
[17:59] it in some kind of phase and then one
[18:01] side or the other and then move down the
[18:03] highway. But with all the sections, some
[18:06] getting torn out, some getting replaced,
[18:08] they just feel they can just keep moving
[18:10] without that disruption.
[18:12] >> Biggest impact they'll be going into the
[18:14] fall, I'm sure.
[18:17] » Yeah. With buses and harvest. So, that
[18:19] was a big thing. We told them that, you
[18:22] know, you got to
[18:24] things. So,
[18:26] >> so it's just information at this time.
[18:28] If you get feedback, they want to know
[18:30] that. So, if you get, you know,
[18:33] >> and I think they would start up there to
[18:35] get to Fifth Avenue.
[18:36] >> Well, I would hope so. At least the
[18:38] fifth.
[18:39] >> Yeah.
[18:41] >> Well, we'll have to see. I guess we'll
[18:43] find out next year, won't it?
[18:44] >> Yeah.
[18:47] >> Any word on
[18:50] stop lights
[18:52] start date? September.
[18:54] >> Um they're going to get they hope to get
[18:56] started uh that week after Labor Day. So
[18:59] Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Um at
[19:02] least with mobilization.
[19:04] >> We had the pre-con
[19:06] take 3 months to put in a satellite.
[19:08] >> Um what they run into is the delivery of
[19:11] the mass. The actual semi4 mass are
[19:17] custom built apparently for any interse.
[19:22] And so these will be made to fit that
[19:24] site. And they figured, what did they
[19:26] say? A 20w week,
[19:28] >> but they were going to get all the
[19:29] underground stuff done. So if the
[19:31] weather changes, if these things don't
[19:33] come in till December, January, they can
[19:36] still put them up in the cold cuz all
[19:37] the other stuff will be done.
[19:39] >> And then people will be doing the power
[19:41] side. So hopefully that wiring gets into
[19:44] place. So it's just a matter of doing
[19:45] the install and then that final hookup
[19:48] of the lights wiring. So right after the
[19:52] first of the year is more popular
[19:55] thinking. So,
[19:58] >> any other questions for Paul? I have you
[20:00] heard from the county how much they want
[20:01] to participate in 15th Avenue?
[20:05] >> Well, I had one small meeting just this
[20:07] afternoon to uh lay out some of our
[20:09] plans and I said you wanted to sit in on
[20:12] a future meeting after they give some
[20:14] ideas. But yeah, Ben I met with um and
[20:18] he had a chance where Tony the deputy
[20:21] administrator was out at the offices. So
[20:23] he asked me, can you quick out and meet
[20:26] with me, tell Tony what we want? And so
[20:30] then they're going to get back to us
[20:31] here with some of those ideas. So

[25:10] you took on a couple more.
[25:12] >> Yep.

[25:26] applicant.
[25:26] >> Well, I'm sure they are.
[25:28] >> But yeah, we're not full as far as
[25:30] ordinance allows us up to 40, but we're
[25:32] at 36 and that I I wasn't trying to put
[25:36] on enough to be a 40. So, right where I
[25:38] intended to be. So,
[25:40] >> all right. Thanks, man. Thanks for being
[25:42] out there tonight, too.
[25:43] >> That was fun.

[25:50] our packet tonight, but they the uh fall
[25:53] festival's coming up at barricade in

[26:07] we meant to discuss the budget. Library.
[26:10] >> Yeah, actually I can move. All right.
[26:14] >> Uh, minutes are in there. I don't really
[26:16] got much to add. So,
[26:18] >> personnel, you guys have been busy
[26:20] lately.
[26:21] The new hire
[26:23] plans on nothing yet. Public safety.
[26:28] >> I don't have anything special. Just want
[26:30] to put out there to the world that with
[26:33] football starting, 6th Avenue Southwest
[26:36] is a no parking. If there's no parking
[26:38] signs and you park under it, you run the
[26:41] risk of getting a citation. We don't
[26:44] that is that is the worst part of my
[26:46] entire job. That is where the most grief
[26:50] out of anything is people parking in
[26:52] that no parking and us enforcing. If
[26:55] there's a sign there, we can't. It's not
[26:59] >> It's not us. You know, that's what it
[27:00] is.
[27:00] >> It's not an optional parking place. It
[27:02] means no parking.
[27:03] >> It means no parking.
[27:04] >> Correct. For some reason, it's only
[27:07] football season. We don't have the
[27:08] problem with baseball. We don't have it
[27:10] with tennis. We don't have it with track
[27:11] and field. It's just football.
[27:14] >> They're all parking at the fire station
[27:15] for baseball.
[27:16] >> That's probably true, too. You can call
[27:19] that one.
[27:20] >> I did.
[27:24] » All right. You heard it here first.
[27:26] Football season starting. The officer
[27:29] says if it says no parking, it's no
[27:31] parking. So, yep. It's your option to
[27:33] find out if he means it or not.
[27:38] >> All right. Anything else?
[27:41] >> Nope.
[27:41] >> Any questions? All right. Thank you,
[27:44] Justin. Public works.
[27:47] Nothing at this time. Ready?
[27:50] >> Roll call.
[27:52] >> Just that was the minutes there and just
[27:54] a park item.
[27:56] >> All right. Advisory Committee. Nothing
[27:58] tonight. No communications in our
[28:00] packet. It's open mic. Brian, if you
[28:02] want anything
[28:04] >> unless you have questions.
[28:05] >> Any questions for our commissioner?
[28:10] >> At least not on air.
[28:13] >> All right. Final motion of the evening.
[28:15] Motion. We have a second.
[28:17] >> Second. All in favor say I. I.
[28:20] >> Opposed.
[28:22] The best.
