1 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:08,959 I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic 2 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:15,080 for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and 3 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:15,080 justice for all. 4 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:28,000 Let's call the order. Roll call is all council members present, legal counsel 5 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,280 and the clerk treasure. First item is adoption of the agenda for tonight's 6 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:38,479 meeting. >> Um your utility report is going to be a 7 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,560 little late. You have um two down with sickness. So 8 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,800 » it's going around >> and they were coming and I told them not 9 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,800 to. >> Yeah. Thank you. 10 00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:51,680 » I'm like, do you have a fever? Yes. Don't come in the town hall. A away 11 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,680 » utilities >> Conor 12 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,479 got at home. I'll make a motion to approve. 13 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,960 » Yeah. Second. >> Second. 14 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,400 » Okay. Uh first item for tonight is a guest of Green Sign Company. 15 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,199 » Carrie. >> Carrie, you have the floor. 16 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,280 » You want me to come up or? >> Yes. Okay, that'd be great. 17 00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:16,080 » Yes. >> People at home can see you. 18 00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:21,280 » Yeah. My name is Carrie Fitzpatrick Green Company. Um we're based out of 19 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:26,639 Greensburg, Indiana. So we started in 71 over 50 years. Um serving Indiana, Ohio, 20 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:33,759 and Northern Kentucky. And I don't know if everybody saw our uh demo truck out 21 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:39,520 there. Um we are representing um a new digital sign that we're going to be 22 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:46,240 replacing the existing single color. I think it just says the time maybe now 23 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:49,840 the temp. Um, this is a 4 by8 and it is the resolution that you guys would have 24 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:55,199 up on the screen. So, exactly what you're seeing there would be the clarity 25 00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:58,800 of your new sign. Um, we have quoted a 3x7, so the size is a little bit 26 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,919 different, but the demo trucks are 4 by8. Um, Watchfire is the company that 27 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,080 we represent and that the digital signs are made from. They are out of Danville, 28 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:13,520 Illinois, so American brand. They're not shipped overseas. It's not the LEDs you 29 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:18,160 buy online. Um, everything is wireless. So, 4G wireless connection. Anybody that 30 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,759 has the password, we recommend not too many people have the password, but 31 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:27,919 anybody that has [clears throat] to log in, update the sign from home, from your 32 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:31,199 phone. Very simple to use. The software is free. It's included with the service 33 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,039 as well. It comes with I mean, everything you see on there, the sign 34 00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:38,639 will come with or you can customize and put, you know, Cheryl's picture up there 35 00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:43,120 on her birthday and happy birthday, Cheryl. I mean it's it's fully 36 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:46,720 customizable [laughter] anybody's picture. 37 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,800 » Um so we just wanted to show the demo. This is the exact product that will be 38 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:58,639 on the sign. It does auto dim. A lot of people you know new changing colors. Um 39 00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:02,560 these signs do auto dim brighten. So you know it's it's on a photo cell. So even 40 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:07,280 if it's a rainy cloudy day it will brighten up a little bit and then vice 41 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:12,160 versa. So it does that on its own. Um, on top of the digital sign, we have also 42 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:17,360 quoted to replace the top cabinet faces just to update those. So, the part that 43 00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:21,759 says town of Sunman. Um, I don't know if you guys have all seen the layouts. 44 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:26,880 Okay. And just freshening that up, adding the logo, and then doing a full 45 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:31,759 LED retrofit to the interior cabinet so it will be illuminated. And then 46 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,919 priming, painting, scuffing the full structure. It's going to look like a 47 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:40,240 brand new sign. Okay. Um, is the top part going to be 48 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,800 illuminated? >> Yes. So, we're anything it's you can see 49 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,039 it's only a tiny portion of its light lighted. 50 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,960 » We're removing anything that's in there and putting LED. Okay. 51 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,240 » Linear bars, power supplies behind the new faces. 52 00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:57,039 » I was trying to remember that new face. >> Yeah. So, 53 00:07:54,879 --> 00:08:01,599 » which I think is really nice. This guy right here. 54 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,080 » You [snorts] have glasses yet? >> Yeah. 55 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:08,635 » Oh, good. I can see that it's just it's little 56 00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:11,840 small letters. [clears throat] 57 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:16,720 » You said it has auto dim and all that. Also, can we adjust it? 58 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,199 » You can where if we get complaints about it being too bright or something like 59 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,199 that, we can back it off. >> Yep. Um I was explaining to Cheryl 60 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:27,120 before this meeting was set up, you guys can schedule anything you want to five 61 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:32,560 years. So, every Christmas you can put on what you want playing on the sign, 62 00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:35,360 » but you can also schedule it. Say, you know, someone complains it's after 10 63 00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:40,000 o'clock, whatever. You can schedule it to go up at 10:00, come on at 6. You can 64 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:45,279 do whatever you want with it. Yep. A lot of ordinances require signs to do that. 65 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,240 Um, Ripley County doesn't. Um, but, you know, that's why they allow those signs 66 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:51,480 to do that. You can schedule it and auto set it. 67 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:01,360 » Okay. I'm trying to think if there's any other I've talked to you so much. I 68 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:05,120 think all my questions were answered. >> Yeah, the main thing is is the 69 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,959 investment. It is a large investment, but it will last. I mean, we have signs. 70 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:12,720 The Napoleon State Banks, I don't know if anybody's familiar with the banks. 71 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:16,399 They have these digital signs. Uh we have one that is now 19 years old, still 72 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:20,720 going, and we're getting ready to replace it this summer. So, I mean, it 73 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:26,399 is it's there to last. They're built for outdoor elements. Um, very user 74 00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:30,000 friendly, free software, free training. The great thing about the wireless is is 75 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:34,720 the company Watchfire can even remote into your sign if you need help, you 76 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:40,560 know, accessing something or or service. I mean, it's very user friendly. 77 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:43,120 » Okay. Is there a cost to get assistance from them? No. 78 00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:45,040 » Okay. So, they're going to help us learn. 79 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:51,040 » And you have a 5year warranty on the parts through watchfire. They guarantee 80 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:54,560 the parts on the shelf for 10 years. This is going to sound stupid, but when 81 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:58,800 I had these solar panels put on my house part of the deal, too. Is there any type 82 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:03,519 of guarantee like the wind comes whipping 83 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:08,640 across that field over there? Is there any type of guarantee or anything that 84 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:12,240 that'll stand up to x amount of >> wind miles per hour or that you guys 85 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,880 would cover? Is that strictly on us and our insurance 86 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:19,120 » that I mean a tornado coming through would be insurance? 87 00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:23,600 Yeah. wind load, all of that. We do access or we we figure so the size of 88 00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:29,680 the sign, how high it up is in the air. We figure all that um because we did not 89 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:33,839 do this foundation. I mean, we can't guarantee 10 years down the road if if 90 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:37,120 like said a huge storm comes through and pulls trees out, 91 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,920 » but we do figure in wind loads, sizes, all of that. 92 00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:43,519 » I think they said mine was covered up to like 80 mph winds or something like 93 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:46,320 that. That's asking because >> I don't think I've ever been asked that. 94 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,880 I can I can ask, but I know that they do the wind loads and figures and all of 95 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,240 that, too. So, >> come ripping across that field, hammer, 96 00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:01,800 » just ask the town guys. They got to chase Christmas decorations and 97 00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:01,800 everything else across the field. 98 00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:06,680 » No, we bought three sets. 99 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:17,279 » All right. And um have you done any sort of grants to 100 00:11:15,312 --> 00:11:23,360 [clears throat] go for the >> No. Yeah, we weren't we weren't granted 101 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:28,959 for this one. Um I I gave you this paper here, the recommended digital project 102 00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:35,440 budget. It would require additional appropriations out of the edit. 103 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:39,920 Um which still would leave um a balance of 132,000. 104 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,440 Actually, I think it's more than that, but I'm going on end of year. I did not 105 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,360 I have not been able to start the new year yet. 106 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:53,760 Um the park and recreation um board has 107 00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:59,360 kindly offered to pay for 2,000 out of their operating. Um police, the marshall 108 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:03,600 has offered an opioid restricted at 2,000. We're going to go for the large 109 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,920 grant at Ripley County Community Foundation and then the water utility 110 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:12,880 would throw in 5,000 that would cover the project total besides legal 111 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:17,040 publications for the additional appropriations which we already have 112 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:22,000 budget for that for publications for this year. Okay. 113 00:12:20,158 --> 00:12:25,440 [clears throat] Have you talked to the Ripley County 114 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:30,160 Foundation yet? >> Yeah, we put it in. 115 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:36,160 » Okay. If we were not to get it, 116 00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:41,920 then wastewater could pitch in the same as water. We just chose water because 117 00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:44,720 most of our emergency notifications that would go on that sign 118 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,560 would have to do with the water department mostly. 119 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,760 » Yes. Grant. I would also opiate money both restricted and 120 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:56,160 unrestricted. Yeah. >> And we have, you know, machinery, 121 00:12:53,519 --> 00:13:02,160 equipment, CCD money, CCI money, which is all for general improvement, um, that 122 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,360 we have budgeted. Um, the reason why, just in case you're wondering about the 123 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:10,240 additional appropriations, we only have 15,000 budgeted for the 2026 year. So, 124 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:13,269 we wouldn't want to exhaust that right off the bat. So, [clears throat] 125 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,519 » okay. 126 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:24,720 And we checked into opioid restricted. We checked into edit the uses of edit. I 127 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:29,279 talked to John about it. All of that is approved reasons to spend that money. 128 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,360 » Okay. Correct. >> That is correct. 129 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:38,720 » And then I put the presentation that I showed you last week with all the the 130 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,440 details and the the facts in it. >> Might have already answered the 131 00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:45,760 question, but has it we check with the county? Are they going to we're okay 132 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:50,480 going putting sign up? >> Well, we're replacing one. Yes. 133 00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:52,880 » Okay. I I told Carrie just a little bit ago that I would go ahead and double 134 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,754 check with them. >> Well, being the park's putting some of 135 00:13:54,160 --> 00:14:00,160 their money in it, I say [laughter] 136 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,880 » Ripley County doesn't require a permit if we're replacing an existing digital 137 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,600 sign. >> Okay. Okay. 138 00:14:06,959 --> 00:14:12,399 » I mean, it's the same size. It's not like we're getting something, you know, 139 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,399 a big monstrosity out there >> fixing something that's been neglecting 140 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,519 for >> and the top is beautiful. And I think 141 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:23,079 it's [clears throat] beautiful for someone for that top to be redone like 142 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,079 that. It's awesome. 143 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,920 » And it kind of keeps the old but puts in a little 144 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,560 » great I mean not only a great communication device but it's a great 145 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:37,959 first impression and you know it it and you guys can put whatever you want 146 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,959 up on it. So 147 00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:45,279 » if it will handle everything from end we'll get the Ripley County sign off. 148 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:50,800 Um, we do all the manufacturing of the the top part, you know, we'll do all the 149 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:54,240 the LEDs, the faces. We don't build the digital signs, but we do work with that 150 00:14:52,959 --> 00:14:58,320 vendor. So, >> we'll remove, we'll install, we even 151 00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:01,290 offer maintenance agreements, you know, down the road if you guys want us to 152 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:08,600 service it once a year, clean it, and [cough] we do all of that. So, 153 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,600 » okay. 154 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:16,639 So, what 155 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:20,720 do we need to do? Motion to go >> just go forward with trying to get the 156 00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:23,120 money from the community foundation and >> we need to vote on 157 00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:26,120 » Yeah. >> Okay. 158 00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:34,320 I think that's a good idea. I bet. Yes. 159 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,600 » I like the sign. I like the idea, but I this I don't think we're crushing it and 160 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:41,440 we got to take it a little bit. I'm nervous about the money and some other 161 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:46,880 things. So, I want to say how I'm going to abstain or say no. One of the two. 162 00:15:45,830 --> 00:15:49,040 [snorts and laughter] >> Okay. 163 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,399 » Say we've been talking about this for >> It's been going on for almost a year 164 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,839 with the two grants. >> I haven't been involved in the fact that 165 00:15:54,079 --> 00:15:59,519 » Yeah, I gave you the proposal. >> Well, I'm all about making stuff that 166 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,240 used to work work. So, I'm definitely for it. I think it's a good statement 167 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,399 for our town. It's a good way to communicate. cuz I don't see any 168 00:16:03,839 --> 00:16:09,839 negatives in taking something that's sitting out there and rotten away and 169 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:14,079 making it work. So, I'm going to vote for it. I agree with that part. 170 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:18,720 » So, how do we need to record this to go ahead um and apply for Ripley County and 171 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,600 then also start additional appropriations 172 00:16:19,839 --> 00:16:24,320 » if that's what they're telling you to do. 173 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:28,160 » Well, I'm Yeah, I wanted to say it out loud what they were voting on. 174 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:32,959 » All right. So, I'll make a motion to approve going 175 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:37,360 forward with the appropriations and to go for the grant from the Ripley County 176 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,240 Community Foundation. >> Okay. 177 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,839 » Then that makes me the second. >> All right. Thank you. Thank you, Carrie, 178 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,199 very much. >> If I want to buy for this, do I get 179 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:51,279 access to it? >> You will have a pass. [laughter] 180 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:55,720 » That could be a bad idea. >> Someone will Morgan will have to screen 181 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,720 us. 182 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:02,160 » Yes. No problem. Thank you. You guys have a good weekend. 183 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:06,319 » You too. >> Hey, before you leave, can you put like 184 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:09,679 channel 5t or something like that? >> They preloaded for the demo. I don't 185 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,360 know if you can or [laughter] not. Sorry. 186 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:16,880 » Um, how long would [clears throat] it No, quick question. How long would it 187 00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:20,559 take once we say okay and then >> take to make it? 188 00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:23,199 » Yeah, we order and it's normally four or five weeks when we get it and then we 189 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,799 can manufacture everything in the meantime. So, I you know, 190 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,760 » maybe six weeks would be the the longest. 191 00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:30,480 » Okay. >> But I would say that four to six we'll 192 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,400 have everything done. >> Yeah. 193 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:38,160 » I think the weather um I know it's 60day so we'll be out of the cold weather. We 194 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,960 can't paint under 40 degrees but I think we'll be out of that. 195 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:44,480 » Yeah, we should be out of that. >> Let's hope we are. 196 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,200 » Yeah, I know, right? Okay. Thank you guys. 197 00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:50,640 » Thank you. >> Thank you. 198 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:54,720 » Okay, next item is funding. That's That's what that 199 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:58,160 » Okay, that was the other day. All right, we're on to reports and the marshall, 200 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,320 you're up. >> I'll make this short and quick since I 201 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,320 already got a president. 202 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:10,720 Oh, Sher uh not Cheryl. Morgan has finished her training. So, Morgan, you 203 00:18:09,679 --> 00:18:14,000 want to step up here and tell them what your training was and what you learned 204 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,720 and what it was called? Because I wrote it down and I left it somewhere. So, you 205 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,200 get to tell them >> it was the emergency responder uh 206 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:26,120 clinician certification. I have not there. 207 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,120 » They they won't be able to hear you. 208 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:33,120 » So, while she's on her way up here to get closer, this is what you guys 209 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:36,320 approved for us to take out of my opiate money and spend. What was that? 210 00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:40,400 » Six >> $6 or $800 that you guys approved. And 211 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:46,000 uh she jumped on it right away, knocked it out, got all her ride time in with 212 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:50,880 it. Um, we have actually utilized her actually just Tuesday night we utilized 213 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:55,679 her with the sheriff's department in a huge way and just the sheriff deputies 214 00:18:53,679 --> 00:18:59,840 and EMS and everybody was just kind of like, "Wow, this really works." So, we 215 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,400 have been able to utilize her position on multiple things and surrounding 216 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,480 departments are starting to see what she's doing and how it's working. So, 217 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,559 uh, we're excited to keep moving forward with it. But go ahead. What? What was 218 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,120 this? >> Emergency responder clinician was what 219 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,840 the training that I went to. So, I've applied for the certification. I'm just 220 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,679 waiting for it to come through. >> Okay. 221 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:26,880 » She got all that done. While she's up here, I would also like for you guys to 222 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:31,360 um and I believe I spoke with Cheryl about this. She'll remind me this can 223 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:35,919 come out of my restricted opiate money. >> And I also have plenty of money in 224 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:40,960 training. So either or we could utilize it probably for a a Narcan training 225 00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:47,120 course which would make her a certified trainer for administering Narcan. Um I 226 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:51,440 think it's 180 $180 uh for her to get this training and 227 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:56,240 everything else. It's just another another asset to us uh when it comes to 228 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,840 to dealing with the problems and stuff around here. Thank goodness. It seems 229 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:04,240 like I don't want to jinx the state and the county and all of us, but looks like 230 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:08,480 that opiate use is kind of on a downside a little bit, but it'll be back. We go 231 00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:13,120 meth and then we go opiates and then we go meth and then we So, it'll be back 232 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:18,160 around before you know it. So, uh that's something that I think would be huge. U 233 00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:24,240 we train a lot with Milin. Uh she's getting ready to take over all of the we 234 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:29,919 have several things that we do. um working with the elderly, uh mental 235 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:34,559 illnesses, suicidals, several things that Morgan is going to start uh doing 236 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:38,000 all the training for law enforcement with us and mileing. And then there will 237 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:43,280 just be another thing that she can train not only just law enforcement, but EMS, 238 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,280 fire departments, even even people on the street that want to administer. So, 239 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,400 everybody's got their opinion about Narcan. 240 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:55,440 My opinion is if that's my son or daughter, I want somebody in our camp 241 00:20:52,799 --> 00:21:01,200 and that's how I respond to every call. So I think I' I' asking for you guys to 242 00:20:57,919 --> 00:21:05,360 approve the $180 to get her certified in that also. 243 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:08,360 » Okay, I'll make commission to approve. >> Second. 244 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,039 » Thank you. >> Other than that, the activity 245 00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:16,080 » Congratulations, Morgan. Uh the 246 00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:20,480 » congratulations. uh the activity report. 247 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:24,640 Uh things, if you guys remember, we went through 248 00:21:21,919 --> 00:21:27,600 the the pretty good snowstorm that we had back in December. Thank goodness. 249 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:32,880 That's like the only one we've had so far. But, uh definitely busy on that. 250 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:39,120 Cold air keeps everybody in. Really wasn't uh really wasn't a lot going on. 251 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:43,280 U me personally, I had to get rid of some hours. So, uh, I I was off a little 252 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,600 bit there in December and everything else, but, uh, other than that, 253 00:21:45,429 --> 00:21:51,360 [clears throat] I don't really have anything else on you guys. Uh, I 254 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,679 got some stuff. You added the other stuff on down at later, didn't you, 255 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:59,840 Carol? >> Yeah, the insurance and stuff has. 256 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:03,919 » Okay. Yep. That's all I got. >> All right. Thank you, Brian. Appreciate 257 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:10,480 you. >> You have Who's your ordinance? Yes, sir. 258 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:15,840 » This is drugs and summon. Is it kind of bad or pretty good? 259 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:19,200 » I don't want to jinx myself. Um, 260 00:22:17,525 --> 00:22:23,919 [clears throat] you know, Sunman gets a gets a bad report when it comes to uh 261 00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:28,000 statistics and stuff like that. But I also want to remind people that the 262 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:31,039 Sunman address goes, somebody helped me out here, but 263 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:35,840 it's damn near from, excuse me, I'm sorry, is per from Dover all the way to 264 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:40,640 County Route 600, from State Route 48 all the way up into Franklin County. And 265 00:22:38,159 --> 00:22:47,200 even the EMS is where they get their statistic numbers from. We respond to 266 00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:50,240 one or two gas stations in St. Leon. So even in the past when everybody was 267 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:56,559 like, man, there's a lot of heroin and Simon. No, there's a lot of runs, but a 268 00:22:54,559 --> 00:23:01,280 lot of those were at the gas stations in St. Leon where people would shoot up 269 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:05,039 coming across 74 and then go into the bathrooms or something up at the gas 270 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:11,039 stations or sit in their car and go out. So, as I mean, every town has it drugs 271 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:16,480 problems. Uh I don't see a lot. I really want to tip my hat to uh Indiana State 272 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:20,720 Police and uh Ripley County Sheriff's Office both. But uh if you notice up 273 00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:24,240 here in in Sunman, there's a lot of state troopers. There's there's quite a 274 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,320 few that hang out up here and we're close to the interstate and I could name 275 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,200 some state troopers names that have done some very good drug interdiction around 276 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:36,559 here for us. >> So the ones they catch, they just turn 277 00:23:34,159 --> 00:23:38,400 them loose the next day or a week or how's that? 278 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:42,799 » I think the prosecutor's office been getting a lot better uh through the 279 00:23:40,159 --> 00:23:46,400 years on on a on putting them away. And uh if you'll notice if you if you stay 280 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,760 up on it, they're starting to get to where and John can help me out with 281 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:54,000 this. I see Ripley County prosecutors, they're starting to file more habitual 282 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,159 on stuff. They get tired of seeing the same people going on and on. So 283 00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:01,280 eventually they nail them with a habitual and they get them put away a 284 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:05,200 lot longer. But u you know, a lot of people want to blame prosecutors for 285 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,720 people not staying in jail. State legislation, their hands are tied on a 286 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:14,159 lot of stuff, too. Judges can only sentence so much, you know. Uh I think 287 00:24:11,919 --> 00:24:18,000 uh Ripley County as a whole, Sunman's got a huge support when it comes from 288 00:24:15,679 --> 00:24:23,679 prosecutor's office, the judges down the list. I think Sunman sets pretty good. I 289 00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:28,559 I really do. Compared to a lot of the calls and the activity that I see in 290 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:33,679 some of the surrounding towns, I'm I'm I'm h never happy. As long as there's 291 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:37,120 drugs here, we're not happy. But I'm happy with where Sunman is right now. I 292 00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:41,200 really am. And I think the future looks very good for us. Well, I think I think 293 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:46,320 the people does the drugs, a lot of them know it's like a turn style, you know, 294 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:50,559 they they get in back out and they just go through the 295 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,640 » I know that's that's sad. That part is sad. 296 00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:56,640 » We just keep sending them down there and sooner or later the state of Indiana 297 00:24:54,159 --> 00:24:59,760 will finally put them away for good. But, uh, but, you know, you just got to 298 00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:04,559 stay hot on it, you know, and like I said, I I I'm a oneman department. I got 299 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:09,360 a lot of great reserves that come out and help me. Um, but I really got to tip 300 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:13,760 my hat to uh state police and and Ripley County who's spends a lot of time up 301 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:17,440 here and when they see that activity and they see those cars around, 302 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,200 just like a guy going to break in your house, he sees a police car drive by, 303 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:25,279 he's probably not going to break in. So, just like with that, you know, as long 304 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:29,919 as we can be visible and and uh keep him coming back. So, I appreciate him. I 305 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,960 don't know, maybe talk to Dunkin Donuts, get us a coffee shop put in or something 306 00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,679 close by to keep more closer. I don't know. 307 00:25:33,372 --> 00:25:40,000 » [clears throat] >> I guess like if you fly NRA flag in your 308 00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:43,120 yard, people aware what that means. You know, might give them a second say, you 309 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:48,000 know, I don't want to go to this house. I know they got guns. [laughter] 310 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:51,039 » Is Sunman good when it comes to drugs? There's no town good. They're always 311 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,559 going to be here. >> But I think out of all small towns, uh, 312 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,400 if you look at the population, you look at the manpower when it comes to law 313 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,960 enforcement, and you put all that together, um, Sunman's [clears throat] a 314 00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:05,919 good community. There's a lot of great people. There's drugs in every 315 00:26:04,159 --> 00:26:10,159 community, but there is absolutely a lot of wonderful people in this community. 316 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:14,159 And that outweighs the drug usage that's in this community by a long shot, I 317 00:26:11,919 --> 00:26:16,960 believe. >> So, 318 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:20,000 » we just need more businesses back in town right now. It's like being a ghost 319 00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:23,279 town. >> It's coming. It's working. I think town 320 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,080 of Summons pointed in the right direction. We keep going the way we're 321 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,360 going. I think we're looking good. Hopefully, here in another year or two, 322 00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:32,960 they can get another full-time officer on. I can't talk about it too much, but 323 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:37,200 I just had somebody talk to me about an opportunity that might uh kind of help 324 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:41,039 us out. Maybe getting a getting another full fully paid officer. 325 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,240 Haven't even talked clerk treasure about it. I literally just got off the phone 326 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,600 with them before the meeting. But uh like I said, I we're pointing in the 327 00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:50,720 right direction. We got a great board and I can say this. I'm saying all this 328 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,080 stuff and they already gave me my raise for the year. So, I'm good. They voted 329 00:26:51,919 --> 00:26:57,919 on that last year. But, uh we got a good clerk treasure. We got a good board. We 330 00:26:56,159 --> 00:27:00,240 got some good utility guys. Got some good reserves. We're pointing in the 331 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:02,080 right direction. Just keep plotting along there. 332 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,919 » We have a great team. >> Yep. And we got a good attorney, too. I 333 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,003 don't want to leave him out. >> Wow. 334 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:12,799 » Now I'm talking like an attorney if you [laughter] politics now. 335 00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:16,240 » All right. You guys done? >> Yep. Is anybody doing ordinances? 336 00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:19,120 » Um >> cuz it's on. 337 00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:23,760 » I know he wasn't going to be here. Uh I know that uh me and him have a uh we 338 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:27,360 haven't said it yet, but I told him me and him needed to sit down and talk 339 00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:32,640 because we need to we need to crank him up a little bit. We need to uh man 340 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,600 that's what I want to tell you guys. We finally reached out with Batesville 341 00:27:33,919 --> 00:27:40,080 contract signed. Cheryl's been in contact with their clerk treasure. Uh me 342 00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:44,400 and John and her was just talking about this right before the meeting. Set up a 343 00:27:41,919 --> 00:27:49,760 date and time and get over there and uh and I I think I I don't want to make it 344 00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:53,039 sound bad, but I think >> I have filed ordinances before when I 345 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,679 was marshal last time and when you see them not really go anywhere, you get a 346 00:27:55,360 --> 00:28:01,600 little discouraged. So, I think once we get these piped into Batesville, we 347 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:05,600 start seeing these roll through, get these people on it, make them be held 348 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,480 accountable, I think you'll you'll see our ordinance guy really step up to the 349 00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:09,840 plate and start hammering these people. >> Yep. 350 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:15,200 » I think that's true. >> Yep. All right. Thank you. So, there's 351 00:28:12,159 --> 00:28:19,039 your report. >> Uh we're going to skip utility report 352 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,399 because nobody's here to do it. >> Yeah, he did send it over. I haven't had 353 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,840 time to put it on paper yet. >> Okay. 354 00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:30,240 » I'll make sure I email it right away. >> Okay. No, but nothing. 355 00:28:27,919 --> 00:28:35,760 » No, no major repairs or replacement. >> Um, yes, we um 356 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:40,880 Yeah, actually, I'll just go to the >> You did send it? 357 00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:44,799 » No, I didn't. Not for this month. Honor sent me everything. 358 00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:49,760 » Run down to it real quick. >> Um, we did have an we did enter an 359 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:55,440 insurance claim for the ball field. Um, that windstorm took a a light pole down 360 00:28:53,200 --> 00:29:01,200 and all the lights. Um, they're still looking on finding a 361 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:05,279 new vehicle or skid steer. The generators are being looked at the 362 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:10,320 wastewater main lift station. Thank you, Morgan. [snorts] 363 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:14,960 Lauram came out. He did call me, but I have not had time to return this call. 364 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:19,919 He started his third semester at school. They're gathering quotes to clean wells 365 00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:24,320 four and five. Working with Brent Tag on setting up new phosphorus removal trial. 366 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:29,360 Um, I think it was delayed because of the holiday because I know we've started 367 00:29:25,919 --> 00:29:32,080 that well before last month. B&H is coming out Tuesday to look at the 368 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:37,120 grinder at the main lift station and give us prices 369 00:29:34,159 --> 00:29:42,080 um, and on a spare grinder to have on hand. Auto samplers been tabled with the 370 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:49,200 weather and holidays. We did get one in from how do you say it? Hawk H, 371 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:55,760 » but it was for a fully integrated auto sampler. It was like 13 grand, but not 372 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:59,760 out of not really out out of like we could still probably do it and go after 373 00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:04,399 some grant money, but I didn't realize it was we thought like $800,000. 374 00:30:02,580 --> 00:30:08,799 [laughter] Um, the only lights they didn't get down 375 00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:13,679 were the Christmas tree and they can't get on that ground yet. So, if it stays 376 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:18,480 cold, they might be able to. All the rest of the the lights are down. 377 00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:24,640 uh >> get the rest of the polls get fixed. 378 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:28,320 » We have an account set up with Hawk >> now. Um they're pretty competitive 379 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:32,559 against Blue Book, which is where we always order from. What did you ask me? 380 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,039 » Did the rest of you had how many poles were down? Did they all get 381 00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:37,200 » just one? >> I was going to say 382 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:41,039 » we thought the other ones were leaning and we reported them, but they did an 383 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:45,200 on-site inspection and said the ground was not disturbed. So they think they've 384 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:51,039 been leaning like that for years. So that is something that we might want to 385 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:58,399 start looking to address to prevent anything else from happening over there. 386 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:02,480 Um we came up with some ideas of call um going after some funding through Indiana 387 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:09,360 Park and Wreck um Duke Energy and there was another one 388 00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:14,960 I can't remember and then Ripley Rising Sun and then maybe Ripley County. So, we 389 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:21,240 that just was put on our radar when he told us about those lights. 390 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,240 » Um 391 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:28,441 Oh, yeah. And they're both sick. [clears throat] 392 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,559 » Okay. Thank you. >> He wanted me to compare to what he was 393 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:39,279 supposed to tell you for this month, and I just didn't have an opportunity to get 394 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:42,880 on the computer this afternoon after I came back from my nap. 395 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:47,519 Well, the good news is is while you're talking, you're up now. 396 00:31:44,159 --> 00:31:51,760 » Oh, great. And I did I was able to send you all of this in advance of the 397 00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:56,080 meeting minutes. Um I'm using a little bit more a new 398 00:31:54,080 --> 00:32:03,640 format that's closer to the gateway approved method of a meeting memo. I 399 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,640 think it's easier to read 400 00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:14,559 the December utility. Oh, I have no utility adjustments. I will have on 401 00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:20,080 Micah's empty house. >> How long you been sick? 402 00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:21,679 » Um, Connor, two days. Austin, one day. >> I was joking. 403 00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:24,159 » Oh, >> there were no utility adjustments. 404 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,679 » Oh, >> that's what I read. 405 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:31,840 » Yeah, I we did estimates last month, so there was a couple that were didn't come 406 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:40,840 out right. And for the end of year in December, um, 407 00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:40,840 we paid out $426,5624. 408 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:51,760 And I gave you the fund trial balances, which is an endofear report, fund 409 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:56,880 report. And then we had an auto um we had to 410 00:32:54,559 --> 00:33:06,279 transfer money for the end of the year in all of the areas I told you we would 411 00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:06,279 gas and electric insurance telephone 412 00:33:07,292 --> 00:33:15,679 [snorts] and the town marshall um because and 413 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:20,480 unemployment because um we gave those incidental raises for to cover the 414 00:33:18,159 --> 00:33:25,120 insurance. So they just came in a little over. So I am asking for a signature on 415 00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:30,399 that because we did talk about we knew that that would happen. 416 00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:34,399 It's not a big deal because we are allowed to move from one line item to 417 00:33:32,399 --> 00:33:40,480 one line item. We just can't move it from fund to fund without prior 418 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:44,919 approval. Certified payroll was given to Randy. 419 00:33:45,919 --> 00:33:55,600 And we do have some part of the end of year. We had a bank 420 00:33:51,919 --> 00:33:58,960 wreck um correction and it's a write off. 421 00:33:57,728 --> 00:34:03,080 [clears throat and cough] Is that later? Yep. I got to save that one. 422 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:16,720 Okay. the Wix, which is how we do all of our emails 423 00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:20,639 and um our website. I called them up and said, "Hey, are you 424 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,760 going to send me an invoice?" And because they automatically take it. I 425 00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:26,480 said, "Are you going to send me an invoice? I need to be ready for it." And 426 00:34:25,359 --> 00:34:31,040 they said, "No, no, we're not going to send it till after the end of the year." 427 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:35,359 Well, guess what they did? They sent it before the end of the year. So, I wanted 428 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:43,119 you guys to be aware of that. it is considered to to be a late entry. Um, so 429 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:48,040 I wanted to make sure you approved it and signed off on it for me for the 430 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,040 auditors. 431 00:34:54,560 --> 00:35:03,680 I had to do a minor payroll um correction. 432 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:06,800 So that was considered late. There's nothing 433 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:10,760 abnormal about it except the date that it was put into the computer 434 00:35:11,744 --> 00:35:16,560 [snorts] and I know what they like and what they 435 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:20,760 don't like and I would like your approval on those two please. 436 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:37,599 » And then we have a $75 write off um due to theft which I have 437 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:42,560 um $75. Um it did not affect a customer's 438 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:46,280 account at all. It only affects the town summon at this point. 439 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:53,599 The customer account is correct. Has the the deposit in it. We just don't 440 00:35:51,839 --> 00:35:56,599 actually have the money. It wasn't deposited 441 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,119 here. Yep. 442 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:19,680 I talked to John. This is what we turned into John and the state board of 443 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:25,760 accounts as indirect losses due to the theft. And he says you have to make a 444 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:31,000 decision to I'll let you talk about that part because it's a little confusing to 445 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,000 me. 446 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:41,040 Well, the the issue is whether or not you want to pursue a civil 447 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:46,560 remedy on some of this stuff. 448 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:51,839 Um, direct 449 00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:58,079 losses can be claimed as part of a 450 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:01,520 punishing proceeding, whether it's in the criminal 451 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:06,000 court or whether it's from the state board of accounts. 452 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:12,720 Indirect losses are things that if you got if we want to 453 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:16,880 pursue them, we would have to file some kind of 454 00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:23,680 a civil claim. Um, 455 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:30,560 at some point there's the issue that you face in every civil court of 456 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:36,640 even if you can win, is there anything to collect? 457 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:40,960 and the issue of how much time and money you want to put 458 00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:43,960 into trying to collect this amount of money. 459 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,599 » Okay? >> Because it's not the kind of thing, it's 460 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:56,960 not in civil court. It isn't a situation where the loser pays. Everybody has to 461 00:37:53,920 --> 00:38:00,079 pay their own costs of [snorts] 462 00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:04,640 fighting. And when I originally turned it in to the state board of accounts, I 463 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:09,599 thought like their fees that these fees would become part of it, but that's not 464 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:12,599 the case. Okay. 465 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:20,400 Well, it's also I mean, it's also not I'm not 466 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:29,280 trying to kick the ball or kick the can down the field, but you have you have 467 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:35,320 two years to decide to pursue this. from the date of loss. 468 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,320 » Okay. 469 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:45,680 It's a lot that we shouldn't have to eat in my opinion. 470 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:47,839 » But it might cost a more to go after it. >> Yeah. 471 00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:52,240 » Just the amount that we go after. >> Yeah. 472 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:56,400 question is, is it worth the fight and spending the money to chase it and then 473 00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:02,320 paying a collections agency to go after it until it's paid? 474 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:08,079 » You might end up in the negative >> even more. 475 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:17,240 » That's my that's potential problem, >> John. That's potential problem with 476 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:17,240 going after a a rel a a small amount. 477 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:25,359 » Hey John, how does that work on victim services from the prosecutor's office? 478 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:30,560 » They'll go for direct direct >> go for direct reimbursement. 479 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,599 » Yeah, I would have never even probably typed it up if 480 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:37,599 » which we should be getting from the state 481 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:40,160 board of accounts anyway, but 482 00:39:40,297 --> 00:39:44,720 » [laughter] >> Okay. 483 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:52,040 From the state board of accounts proceeding, we should be giving those 484 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:52,040 reimbursement that reimbursement anyway. 485 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:02,240 » Kind of feel like it'd be like chasing a snowflake. When it hits the ground, it's 486 00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:05,520 going to melt anyway, right? By the time you get manh hours and court cost and 487 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:09,117 everything else going back and forth to court over it 488 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:11,137 » travel time. [snorts] 489 00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:16,640 » Yeah. Well, I mean that's what I say. It's it's a 490 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:24,760 » as long as we recoup. >> You have to decide what whether it's 491 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,760 worth it to get a small amount. 492 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:32,760 I'm not saying it's not something that that isn't owed, 493 00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:43,119 but how much does it cost to go get it? >> What about small claims? Just out of 494 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:48,000 curiosity, >> that's exactly where we would go. 495 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:51,960 » It's so small that it would be in small claims. [laughter] 496 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,960 Yes. 497 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,560 Okay. But we have two years to >> you have two years to decide to pursue 498 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:03,640 it. >> Okay.

They'll both 537 00:44:21,359 --> 00:44:27,760 get 14 hours continuing education.

Mhm.

So it probably 562 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,839 be about what $400 difference maybe. 563 00:46:15,922 --> 00:46:20,880 [snorts] All right. 564 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:24,480 » But I don't want to leave a workload behind us either 565 00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:28,079 because Connor will have to do all testing and kind of maintain the fort 566 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:32,720 while we're gone. >> Well, he has Brian, too.

I could do that and then check with them if they want to go. 569 00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:47,520 » Or maybe just Connor will want to go or just Austin will want to go. 570 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:54,960 » So, it's Connor and Austin.

It takes us to old business 584 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:43,880 and the first item is the second reading of the planning and zoning permit. 585 00:47:47,119 --> 00:47:55,560 Does anyone present want to hear it written read or read out loud? It's 586 00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:55,560 written already. 587 00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:02,119 Doesn't sound like it. >> Okay. 588 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:13,520 gratification.

We just need 590 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:20,119 » I have it here. >> Motion to it up. 591 00:48:24,319 --> 00:48:30,559 » Oh, I already signed it. >> Read it [clears throat] twice. So, we 592 00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:34,319 need a motion to adopt. >> Yep. 593 00:48:32,079 --> 00:48:39,760 » You you read it and primarily adopted it. So today would be the second chance 594 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:42,760 to talk about it and then finally adopt it. 595 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:50,880 So that's why he asked if anybody in the public wanted it read out. No one none 596 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:55,839 of them have said yes, I'd like to hear it. So unless you guys have more 597 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:59,920 discussions to make, all you need to do is 598 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:05,680 » Okay, do I'll make motion to approve the ordinance. 599 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:09,240 » That one I'm still against. So maybe we >> Okay, I'll second. 600 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:17,119 » I should have put the insurance and receding up in my 601 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:24,960 » insurance. >> I don't that 602 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:31,920 uh 2026 insurance policy ratification. Yeah, that's maybe something that it's 603 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:42,079 unfinished in the sense that it's not done yet, but it's not. 604 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:51,419 So basically the insurance bill came in at being 605 00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:57,240 uh $351 more dollars [clears throat] than you thought it was 606 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,240 going to be. 607 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:02,880 It was a difference of >> terrorism. 608 00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:08,400 » Yeah. Yeah, the box was checked on the policy, but the numbers didn't go over 609 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:15,440 didn't pull over that 351. So, you approved 29425, 610 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:20,720 but we ended up having to pay $351 more and I had to pay it or then we'd have an 611 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:24,400 insurance lapse. So, he said we could take it and 612 00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:32,739 » you can pay it and the council can what's called ratify it. Say yes, I'm 613 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:32,739 glad you turned 50. rules. [snorts] 614 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:48,760 » What was it that got missed again? >> Terrorism. 615 00:50:51,839 --> 00:50:59,119 » Okay. That could be very broad, right? 616 00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:02,319 » Yep. Yep. It would have to be deemed a terrorism attack before that insurance 617 00:51:01,359 --> 00:51:07,599 would kick in. >> That's correct. Well, the best news is 618 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:13,760 is for $351, we're not not covered by insurance currently. 619 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:16,760 » Yeah. Which we can't have that. Okay. 620 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:28,559 If you don't want the terrorism coverage, you can probably ask the 621 00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:31,880 insurance company to cancel it. Go ahead and take it. 622 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,680 » What's that? >> That's all we need to do. Motion to 623 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,720 ratify. >> Yeah. Make a motion to ratify. 624 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,960 » Thank you. >> Second. 625 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,319 » I have to put the dollar amount in the memo. 626 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,480 » I would. Okay. >> Thank you. 627 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:54,319 Uh, disposal of interceptor and insurance receiping. 628 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:59,280 » Yeah, we need Brian because I think Are we gonna Were you wanting to scrap that 629 00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:02,880 vehicle instead of put it up for remove equipment and bid it out? 630 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,520 » Thank you, Cheryl. >> You're welcome. 631 00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:09,359 » That guy was a pain in the butt. >> And [laughter] I kept trying to reach 632 00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:13,280 out to him in Toledo, Ohio multiple multiple times. He told Andy we didn't, 633 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,400 but me and Cheryl was able to prove that we both had done it by email income. 634 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:20,800 Mhm. >> So, Cheryl finally put his feet to the 635 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:24,640 fire and Andy Hmel, the insurance agent, did also [snorts] and she finally got 636 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:28,640 everything settled and done a hell of a job on on getting all the equipment and 637 00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:33,280 stuff covered, too, which brought it up a pretty good penny if you notice, which 638 00:52:30,559 --> 00:52:40,079 covers what we wanted to do with some left. Um, for the old one out here, 639 00:52:38,079 --> 00:52:43,680 do we have to set it out here and take bids on it or can I just find somebody 640 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:51,599 find the person that will give me the most for it for scrap and scrap it? 641 00:52:47,359 --> 00:52:55,520 » You have how much how much is it worth? >> That's what it goes by. 642 00:52:53,280 --> 00:53:02,800 » All jokes aside, scrap price is what? Probably 160 180 a ton maybe. So 3 400 643 00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:06,160 bucks. Um, I've had a couple people tell me that there's some places over in 644 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:09,359 Cincinnati that would give me $1,000 for it 645 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:13,119 because of the motor training that's in it. 646 00:53:11,196 --> 00:53:16,160 [snorts] So, I, you know, but if I set it out there, I don't see anybody 647 00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:19,359 putting a silk good for $1,000. I see somebody trying to get it for 200 so 648 00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:24,800 they can throw it on a trailer and take it down to Ralph and make him a hundred 649 00:53:21,839 --> 00:53:26,640 bucks. [snorts] Um, 650 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:30,000 » or we can throw it on a trailer and we can haul her down here to Rouse 651 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:34,400 ourselves. >> Well, that's that's what I was going to 652 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:37,400 say. You're you're allowed to dispose of of 653 00:53:37,839 --> 00:53:48,000 um dimminimous items and and broken items and and trash items, 654 00:53:46,079 --> 00:53:52,240 uh, things that don't have significant value. You're allowed to dispose of 655 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:57,359 those without going through a bidding process. Sounds like it's well under the 656 00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:03,240 limit. >> What is the limit 657 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:03,240 » to be able to do it? Uh 7500 658 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,319 » I didn't know if there was any clarifications due to the fact that the 659 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:12,480 vehicle had a title. >> That's what I was thinking. 660 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:19,200 » No, >> and it was total. It's deemed totaled. 661 00:54:15,119 --> 00:54:22,000 » It definitely totaled. And then I mean we done it because the insurance company 662 00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:25,599 told us to told us to get all of our equipment and all of our uh lights and 663 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:30,720 sirens off of it and test them and see what worked and what didn't. So 664 00:54:28,319 --> 00:54:33,760 obviously you're going to tear stuff up when you take all that stuff out. 665 00:54:32,559 --> 00:54:37,680 » Mhm. >> So 666 00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:43,680 I mean I can call around and see what we can get for it and scrap.
