[0:00] And for our Pledge of Allegiance and invocation, should you wish to offer an invocation following ours, make your way to the podium now, so I can see you, let's stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

[0:08] I

[0:14] pledge allegiance of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands

[0:21] one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

[0:30] Almighty God, we pray this day for your ever enduring guidance.

[0:33] We ask you to cover us with wisdom.

[0:36] Give us the sense for the true needs of the people of Susanville and the ability to govern

[0:40] those needs.

[0:41] Amen.

[0:49] Mr. Newton, are there any changes to the agenda this evening?

[0:54] Yes, Madam Mayor.

[0:55] Thank you.

[0:56] Council approve the agenda.

[0:59] Prior to going into the closed session with the following changes.

[1:04] Items 9G and 9H have been moved to just above item 9A, so still under item 9 new business.

[1:13] But those two items will be taken up ahead of item 9A.

[1:17] Okay. Thank you. Anything to report out of closed session?

[1:23] No reportable action out of closed session. Direction was provided to staff.

[1:29] Okay. Thank you. All right. We don't have any proclamations this evening. Business from the floor.

[1:36] Any person may address the council at this time upon, I'm sorry, I messed it. I thought he

[1:43] Any person may address the council at this time if on any subject on the agenda or not on the agenda within the jurisdiction of the City Council.

[1:50] However, comments on items on the agenda may be reserved until the item is discussed.

[1:55] And any matter not on the agenda that requires action will be referred to staff for a report and action of this subsequent meeting.

[2:02] Presentations are subject to three, a three-minute limit, but anybody like to speak right now from the public.

[2:08] Yes.

[2:12] Can you state your name and address please?

[2:17] Good evening, Amy Holly, Susanville, California.

[2:20] Okay, so I'll be quick about it because I know I have three minutes, but this is something

[2:24] that's just very important. Anyway, good evening.

[2:28] My name is Amy Holly. As you may have heard, the County Board of Supervisors

[2:32] have voted to move forward with the efforts to obtain a live stream system.

[2:37] Why do I mention this? Because it is important to give everyone

[2:40] a seat at the table and make it a hassle-free to access.

[2:43] The following are some ideas to assist the city in achieving the goal of updating equipment and software to reach the goal of clear live-stream city council meetings.

[2:53] Out of the additional funds approved by the voters, there should be adequate money for a small project like this.

[3:01] I have heard that there is a company called Meevo.

[3:05] I have a clone. I have a clone. I have heard there is a company called Meevo and one called OWL.

[3:12] Tech these technologies could be a part of the goal of transparent clearly broadcast meetings to everyone.

[3:19] Or partnering with another public entity would be another way of achieving this goal.

[3:24] Why don't we don't need to reinvent the wheel? There are folks who are already doing this.

[3:29] Perhaps the city could have a small, ongoing maintenance contract with one of these entities.

[3:35] You serve the public by improving the quality of access to live stream meetings and to

[3:41] folks outside of our community who may happen upon a meeting and may be inspired to call

[3:45] regarding a business idea.

[3:47] Sometimes if this is out floating around up there on Facebook, somebody might see it and

[3:50] something good just might happen outside of our little bubble.

[3:53] A few years ago when Mr. Newton did those budget updates on Facebook, that was a prime example

[3:58] of what I'm talking about tonight.

[4:00] It was informative. It was clear. Facebook notified us when the meeting was live and it was easily accessible. It was effective as well.

[4:09] Suggestions. This is just on the side note on the webpage, the City of Susanville webpage.

[4:16] Just make a video link that's more prominent so the rest of us can access archive meetings quicker. Also a compliment.

[4:24] I saw the video on the City of Susanville webpage and I think it's well done.

[4:29] When you get to the landing page, you see the video and it's got three separate phases.

[4:33] That's nicely done. That's well done.

[4:35] So anyway, my message to you tonight or to all of us basically is let's just not reinvent the wheel.

[4:41] Let's just find somebody we could partner with. I can think of three separate agencies,

[4:45] if anybody wants to talk to me about it, I'd be happy to discuss with you.

[4:48] But in light of what the county's doing,

[4:51] but the nation is suggesting with transparency and everything.

[4:54] I think this is a great time to move forward with this

[4:56] and allocate some money toward this goal.

[4:59] And let's just...

[5:00] I just get the ball rolling and update the microphone to which tonight is working good. But when I look on the video, I see that the cameras are way far away. I actually kind of like on a spaceship looking down, you know. So there are some improvements that could be made. But all in all, I think it's good that we have this meeting and we have this conversation. So thank you for your time. Good evening. Thank you. Okay. Anyone else? All right. Seeing none, we're going to move on to our consent calendar.

[5:28] All matters listed under the consent calendar are considered to be retained by the City Council.

[5:33] There will be no separate discussion on these items. Any member of the public or the City Council may request

[5:38] to remove 11 item from the consent calendar to be considered separately. Council, any things considered separately?

[5:46] No? Public? Okay, then. With that, I'm looking for a motion to approve the consent calendar.

[5:52] Motion to approve. Second. All those in favour?

[5:55] Aye. Opposed? That motion carried unanimously.

[6:01] We'll move on to item number 8. Item number 8 is our council announcements.

[6:06] Council, do you have any announcements this evening?

[6:09] I do. Okay. Please allow me to acknowledge that we're on the ancestral and contemporary

[6:14] comments of the mighty Pied River and Masha people of the Susanville Indian

[6:18] Ranch area where the city of Susanville is located, that's all I got.

[6:22] Okay, I have an announcement I'd like to make.

[6:26] The Lassen County Transportation Commission held an emergency meeting on February 6th.

[6:31] We met with CalTrans, CHP, Congressman Doug Lamoff's office, and more to share ideas and

[6:38] begin to look for funding to improve safety between Reno and Susanville.

[6:42] Everything from four lanes to double lines was discussed.

[6:46] At this time, however, what we're going to start with is finding funding to improve the safety of that stretch of the Highways 36 and 395.

[6:57] Mayor Pro Tem, Brown, Councilwoman Miller and myself are the City Representatives on the Transportation Commission.

[7:05] Now, I will say I would be remiss if I did not mention every time I talk about this,

[7:09] Lassen County Supervisor, the former Lassen County Supervisor, Tom Hammond, who has championed the effort to give four lanes between Reno and Susanville for years.

[7:19] I want to thank him publicly for continuing his efforts.

[7:22] Should you guys wish to attend a Transportation Commission meeting, we meet on the second Monday of each month at 1.30pm right here in City Council chambers.

[7:31] and you can get our agenda's at lassonctc.com and that was it I all for that

[7:39] announcement but I also wanted to thank public works during that snowstorm for

[7:42] clearing the streets being out there taking care of business and that was it. Okay

[7:48] we can move on to new business at this time. We're going to start with 9G and 9G

[7:57] The key is to consider resolution number 25-641-0, and Eric at home, our Assistant Director of Engineering is presenting that item.

[8:08] Thank you, so 9G is for the consideration of resolution number 24-610, it's authorizing the mayor to sign a state master agreement revision with CalTrans for the state funded transportation projects.

[8:22] The city is available over the years that it's administered many state funded projects.

[8:29] There has also been federally funded projects until recently all federally funded projects

[8:37] were for any projects of million dollars and more that limit has been increased to 10 million.

[8:44] So most likely any projects that we do that we are not currently already in design right away or environmental phase will be state-funded projects.

[8:57] The state has provided an updated state master agreement with some required language and it is required to be signed to move on to any future state-funded projects.

[9:13] There's no fiscal impact, if there's any questions regarding the agreement I can answer them, and if not, we just need a motion to approve Resolution 25614, authorizing the mayor to sign a state master agreement revision with Cal Transfer State Funded Transportation Projects.

[9:32] Okay. Thank you. Council, any clarifying questions on this? Public, any questions, comments

[9:38] on this?

[9:39] All right. Then we need a motion and a second so we can discuss.

[9:46] I'll make a motion.

[9:47] Okay. We have a motion by Council Member Parish.

[9:50] I'll second.

[9:51] Okay. Now, you guys, is there any discussion before we go to vote on this item?

[9:58] Okay.

[9:59] So...

[10:00] All those in favor? Opposed, motion carries unanimously. Okay, now we're going to move on to item 9H. No, that wasn't it. What was it? Yeah, H. Item 9H is to consider resolution number 25-6411. And again, that's air, get home. So this is a follow-up to the State Master Agreement.

[10:24] Through the State Master Agreement, there are program supplement agreements.

[10:28] They're required for each phase of a project starting with the environmental and moving to design, moving to right away, and finally construction.

[10:37] Recently, we were allocated some COVID response and release supplemental appropriations act.

[10:46] It's called, they call it, Chrisa.

[10:48] We were awarded 80,000.

[10:50] And so we could move this to an existing project or we could move it to a new project.

[10:59] We did find a project that was right in this range.

[11:02] It's on Riverside Street or River Street, my apologies, between McDowell and South

[11:09] Ash where we would be repaving about 300 feet of the road.

[11:15] There was recently some new curb gutter and sidewalk installed.

[11:22] The existing road was anywhere between 20 to 25 feet.

[11:27] So this project would basically be grinding the entire road,

[11:34] basing it, bringing it up to grade, and then paving it.

[11:37] So the estimate for this project is around 93,000.

[11:41] So, we will be having to use some of our RRA funds for this project, but we will know more when the final plans are out how much the additional funding will be needed.

[11:57] So, for this program supplement agreement, we just again need a motion to approve Resolution 256-411, authorizing the mayor to sign a program supplement.

[12:11] I'm in agreement with CalTrans for the seasonal resurfacing project number, C-R-A-S-L-5-1-1-6-0-2-3, and authorize the finance director to adjust the budget as necessary.

[12:23] Okay, thank you. Council, any clarifying questions on this? Yes.

[12:35] No, we plan to do it later this year.

[12:40] The existing curb gutters pretty high.

[12:43] So we'd like to get the road completed as soon as possible.

[12:53] No, this only covers over 300 feet.

[13:00] It would be going from McDowell, West.

[13:05] The road is 40 feet and then it would be expanding to 50 feet.

[13:10] But this portion would just be 40 foot.

[13:13] At one time there were trees in the middle, but it didn't.

[13:18] They were offset, so it didn't really make sense to kind of keep that original design.

[13:24] And so the road right there is just going to be 40 feet and then it'll be our typical

[13:31] standard width for street and so they'll be parking on both sides.

[13:36] Nice.

[13:39] Public.

[13:40] Do you guys have any questions?

[13:41] Yes.

[13:42] Yeah.

[13:42] You have to name and address.

[13:50] So just a quick question, Eric, about, so, why does it have to be an agreement with Cal

[13:57] Trance, if we do, isn't it a city street? Do they always have the authority over any of

[14:07] that? Can you, I mean, can I answer that?

[14:13] Yeah, okay.

[14:15] Yes, so due to the funding being state funded, it falls under the previously approved state master agreement.

[14:27] And so it's a construction phase of the project and so each phase requires a new program supplement agreement laying out the terms for the funding and the requirements that were required to follow for the funding.

[14:44] Any other questions? Okay, council them. We're looking for a motion.

[14:49] Make a motion to approve resolution number 25-6411.

[14:54] Second.

[14:54] We have a motion in a second. Any discussion? Okay, then. All those in-

[15:00] I, oppose, that motion carries. Mr. Ed, how may I understand you have to leave early? We will not be offended when you go up and walk out. Okay. I got till 630 so.

[15:14] All right. This takes us back to item 9a. Now item 9a is regarding our approved positions list and that is Dan Newton, our city manager.

[15:28] Thank you, Madam Mayor, members of Council, I did ask Mr. Ed Holm to stick around for this item.

[15:34] Primarily it relates to a position that is within the engineering division of public works.

[15:42] And so the approved position list is a document that is used to demonstrate Council's approval for

[15:53] the position that the city manager can fill.

[15:55] So I per the city's municipal code have the authority to appoint people to certain positions.

[16:06] The position is that I'm authorized to appoint you are listed on the approved position

[16:10] list.

[16:11] And so anytime there's a vacancy that comes up without bringing it back to council for approval,

[16:17] we draw from this list.

[16:18] And if it's a approved position on the list, then we can just fill it administratively.

[16:24] So that's kind of what we do, excuse me.

[16:30] So a number of the items that we're doing with this update

[16:35] to the approved position list is kind of some cleanup items

[16:39] for actions that the council has previously taken.

[16:43] So for example, the city manager's contract was amended on 9-18 of 2024

[16:51] before and we hadn't brought the approved position list back to address the range in

[16:58] the step and the compensation numbers are here as well. Recently the deputy city manager

[17:05] position was approved by council that was reclassification of the assistant to the city

[17:12] manager. The change that we're asking for the council to consider that is new tonight

[17:24] is the Assistant Engineer position for the city. So we have a number of projects that

[17:32] we want to deliver for the community. Oftentimes it requires special knowledge and expertise.

[17:40] And so we have engineers in our engineering division that can do that type of work.

[17:46] We've tried over the last one to two years to bring people into that position and train

[17:55] them and develop them as the inter-engineering role, but we have, unfortunately, been unsuccessful

[18:05] successful with that, so the positions vacant now, what we've done is we've increased the pay based on an analysis of what would be a competitive pay for an engineer that is maybe just out of school or somewhat inexperienced, but we can more likely I think bring that person with the background that's demonstrated a certain level of competencies going through an engineering program

[18:35] to train them on the job. I think that's a better model for us, so we're needing to

[18:40] raise the pay to be competitive. And the other thing that we're changing with

[18:47] this particular position is currently the position doesn't require a degree. So

[18:52] we're requiring it to have a degree in engineering, we're a related field, and then

[18:58] we're also requiring it to have an engineering training certificate, which it

[19:02] It would be a standard combination for somebody who's in an engineering curriculum at a university.

[19:09] Typically, they would have their engineering training before they graduate.

[19:15] So it's not a rare combination, it's just a combination that kind of demonstrates the set of skills or

[19:21] the ability to learn those skills in an application or a candidate that we're hiring.

[19:28] So we're asking for the council to approve the approved position list with this assistant engineer modification and like I said previously it was it's about a 20% increase from the current position that is on the on the docket.

[19:47] I believe that's that's it for this particular item tonight.

[19:51] so we are requesting that the council consider approving the approve

[20:00] Position list as presented in the agenda.

[20:04] Council, any clarifying questions on this? That engineer position going to replace the current one? That's listed there? Yes, yes. So we'll have just the one still. Yeah. Okay. Anyone else? Okay. Public, any questions or comments on this? All right. Is there a motion? Motion to approve. I'll second. Okay.

[20:31] you need discussion? Yes, I'm okay with this, but I do believe that we need to look at adding

[20:41] three more positions in the future to strengthen our public works department.

[20:47] So with that being said,

[20:49] I'll bring this up in item 14 future council items to have discussion on that if there's favor for that.

[20:56] Okay, any other discussion?

[20:59] Then all those in favor?

[21:03] Opposed?

[21:03] That motion carried unanimously.

[21:08] Item 9B.

[21:09] Item 9B is to consider resolution number 25-6406 and it is Bob Godman, our Public Works Director.

[21:17] Thank you Madam Mayor and Council members.

[21:19] This is to consider resolution number 25-6406 approving the 2025 through 2030 airport capital improvement.

[21:27] plan. This is our yearly update to the airport's ASIP, the document for the available airport

[21:35] food and grant funding for airport projects, such as our recent rebuild of Taxiway A. We

[21:43] got a pavement and then a PMMP, I always forget what the acronyms are for, but it's the pavement

[22:17] Okay.

[22:18] Thank you.

[22:18] 256406, approving the 2532030 airport cap.

[22:23] Okay.

[22:24] Thank you.

[22:24] Council, any clarifying questions on this one?

[22:27] All right.

[22:27] Public questions or comments?

[22:29] All right.

[22:30] Is there a motion?

[22:32] I'll move to approve.

[22:35] 256406.

[22:35] Second.

[22:37] Okay.

[22:37] We have a motion in a second.

[22:39] Any discussion?

[22:41] Then we'll vote.

[22:41] All those in favor?

[22:42] Aye.

[22:43] Opposed?

[22:44] That motion carried unanimously.

[22:46] Item 9C.

[22:48] Item 9C is to consider resolution number 25-6407 and that's Tamer Spader, Economic Development

[22:55] Director.

[22:57] Thank you Madam Mayor, Council Members.

[23:00] This is the city of Susanville's partnering with the nationally recognized company out

[23:05] front media to enhance business attractions and tourism through billboard advertising.

[23:12] We have identified billboards at three key locations, increasing visibility and promoting

[23:17] Susanville as a prime destination for businesses, visitors and investors.

[23:22] These billboard advertising is a method to increase awareness, drive economic activity and

[23:28] showcase the city's opportunities.

[23:30] By leveraging out front media's extensive network, the city can effectively reach target

[23:36] audiences, highlight local businesses, and encourage tourism, strengthening the local

[23:41] economy.

[23:43] So authorizing this agreement ensures that Susanville remains competitive in economic development

[23:49] efforts, attracting new businesses and visitors while reinforcing the city's commitment to growth

[23:54] and prosperity.

[23:55] The fiscal impact is 32,560, which is coming from the American Rescue Plan Act and out

[24:05] of the Economic Development Professional Service Fund.

[24:09] And the action requested is a motion to approve resolution number 25-6407, authorizing the

[24:17] mayor to execute an agreement with the Outfront Media billboard to support the city's economic

[24:22] development and marketing plan.

[24:24] Thank you. Thank you. Any clarifying questions on this?

[24:28] I have some. Okay. So how many billboards are we going to be on?

[24:33] So right now we're looking at doing three. That's what this agreements for.

[24:40] Were they going to be located? So one of them will be a digital billboard.

[24:45] And it's actually going to be in Reno. And that one is located on 580 and second street.

[24:52] and then that one's going to be up for about eight weeks on the north side and then

[25:00] It's going to reverse because it's a digital billboard and it'll reverse to the south side. And so the message will be up there for another eight weeks. So does that count for the three? So is that two? That's one of the three because it's the same billboard. It's just reversing the message from one side of it to the other. So I counted that as one billboard. So facing north is one billboard and facing south. I guess we could say four then. Yes, it's the same, but yes, they're going to reverse the message from one side to the other on that one.

[25:29] And then the second billboard or third if you want to is on highway 50 and that one is

[25:37] This is about 6.3

[25:39] Or six and a half miles east of Placerville facing west

[25:45] And that one's going to be up for about 12 weeks and then the third one we're looking at is on I-80

[25:51] around Kulfax area and

[25:53] That says it's about a thousand feet east of Placer Hills Road facing south

[25:59] And that one's going to be up for about 12 weeks.

[26:03] And what are they going to say?

[26:05] Are we going to get to approve what the display is going to be?

[26:09] Or is it just going to be we vote on it?

[26:11] And it's just up there.

[26:14] So right now you're voting on having the mayor sign the agreement

[26:19] to do the three or four signs.

[26:22] And we will be putting together the artwork

[26:25] and working with them to do that.

[26:28] our what we want to do is really promote our tourism so having you know showing Susan

[26:35] Bill and our trails and mountains and and just kind of what we have here and that's that's

[26:43] kind of what the focus is going to be and we're going to have our it's going to be referred

[26:50] like we'll have our email our website up there and we're doing a special page for now until

[26:57] we finish our new website that it will take them to that and then show them restaurants,

[27:03] hotels and whatever else we can fit on that page for now.

[27:08] But it would, when the new website's up, it will be visit Susanville.com, and

[27:18] I answer

[27:18] everything.

[27:19] Who's creating this new website, this off, this limited website?

[27:23] Could you start on the billboard?

[27:24] It's going to be a website.

[27:26] Who's doing the page?

[27:27] It's a one page that's going to go on our current website.

[27:29] and again it's just going to have the information that the bill boards will

[27:34] refer to visit Susanville. It'll use that domain. So will you have the same

[27:39] domain when we transfer to the new website? It won't be anything different.

[27:46] That's all you have, can you move on? So we're designing or they're designing or

[27:50] they're designing with our input? So we're designing together, okay? Yeah because we

[27:55] don't really have someone that can design that artwork and so they will use their

[28:00] specialist to design the artwork with our input. So they'll design it our direction.

[28:05] Yeah.

[28:07] Go ahead. Go ahead. I was just going to say, and what is it going to be up? When

[28:11] do they just pay to be enough? So they are, they start, they'll start in March and each billboard

[28:19] kind of has different dates that will go, but I think they're all starting within March.

[28:30] Is there any intent to include or work with the board of realtors to discuss the housing

[28:40] market locally?

[28:42] I mean, I know you're talking about tourism, but I think it's also worth discussing

[28:48] the local or real estate situation.

[28:52] I think it's an attractive topic to be considered.

[28:57] Especially when you consider marketing and re-know.

[29:01] Are you talking about housing?

[29:03] Yeah, housing.

[29:04] Yeah, I mean, we can put together something for the artwork and make sure it's kind of all inclusive of what Susanville is.

[29:17] And I mean, I'll talk to Dan about how he wants to share that before we put it on the billboard.

[29:25] Yeah, good point, Cameron. I think what Councilmember Bordel, if I'm

[29:30] understanding correctly, is indicating is that something that we should

[29:37] consider marketing is the fact that our real estate prices are probably more

[29:42] affordable than other communities, as maybe an attraction from maybe Reno or even

[29:50] one of the metropolitan, Sacramento metropolitan areas, like people might want to

[29:54] consider relocating to Susanville because they can buy a house here.

[30:00] I guess maybe like what I'm trying to illustrate more clearly is like, I think there's maybe some concern from at least me, and it sounds like councilmember parishes well on the content of the billboards. So maybe that's something we need to be kept informed of as the project develops. Yeah, that would probably be my next question is what, you know, what level of involvement does the council anticipate having in approving the billboard artwork, right?

[30:28] And keep in mind that it may cause, I don't know if we can time it to where we have like a proof on our March 5th meeting, but that would be ideal.

[30:43] But if we can't align near that schedule, I think the first billboard was supposed to go live on March 10th, right?

[30:49] So I don't think we need to be involved in the design of it, but at least maybe have some input on these

[30:58] themes or the thematic elements or the content that we think is

[31:03] appropriate, you know, I'm going to be talking about recreation

[31:07] tourism

[31:09] housing

[31:10] I get your point. I appreciate that, but I'm good with staff. Okay, I'm good with staff doing it because

[31:19] But I appreciate your idea.

[31:21] So I was going to bring it up under discussion.

[31:23] I feel like what I have to say is more of a discussion.

[31:27] But I do have a clarifying question.

[31:30] So just so I understand this.

[31:32] So this is like, these people own these billboards

[31:35] and we rent this space, right?

[31:37] OK, that was my, I just have one last question.

[31:45] How do we check our return on investment?

[31:47] Is there a way to say, okay, well, there's so many cars go by, maybe six months later, we have more business applications, more homeowner applications, how do we check if we know this is working?

[32:04] Is there a way?

[32:08] Well, kind of what the plan is, if it's referring to our website, we're hoping that maybe

[32:14] they go to the website and there will be a way to see how many clicks or visits on

[32:19] our website.

[32:20] We also have Placer AI where we can see if there's an increase in traffic counts and coming

[32:29] into Susanville.

[32:33] The billboards, you know, just to kind of put it out there, like the one on Reno, going,

[32:40] I think it's the one going north, the impressions that it gets is 1,313 612 views.

[32:49] So, and then the other ones, the one in Placer on Highway 50 is 223,000, and then the one

[32:57] in Colfax area is 420,000. So we know that they're viewed but we I've talked to Dan and we're

[33:06] trying to come up or I'm trying to come up with a way to see if they're working but right now I

[33:11] think just maybe clicks on the website traffic counts that type of thing and see if there's an increase

[33:17] maybe our hotels maybe I mean it's gonna yeah this is the first time we've done this so we need to track

[33:25] at some point you've never done this before. All right.

[33:32] That's amazing. Are you finished?

[33:36] I'm actually going but never mind. No, no, no, no, no, no, we can go on to discussion. Okay, we'll go into.

[33:43] We can tell you where we are. Okay, so public, any questions?

[33:51] Name and address please. Maria Fregulia,

[33:54] one, one, three, five, gale away Susanville.

[33:58] So when I see the fiscal impact of $32,560 coming from this particular fund.

[34:07] So in our economic development partners, the Susanville Indian Rancheria,

[34:13] will they have any funding to provide for this also?

[34:18] Is there a second part of that?

[34:20] Because I would assume on any kind of a billboard there would be some kind of advertising for that particular point too since there are economic development partners.

[34:32] Thank you. Anyone else?

[34:35] Yes.

[34:41] Okay, Tamara, does this billboard, is it going to be similar to what we see on the website?

[34:48] It's a billboard obviously that's digital.

[34:50] Does that mean it's going to be a moving ad or artwork that's stationary?

[34:54] I'm talking to back your head. I know. But is it going to be

[35:06] So how are you going to grab their attention? Is it going to be a stationary picture? Is it going to be something that you get off of the city website? That little blurb that you have on there. It's a new little video. But people don't have time to sit there and look at that video. They're whizzing by. So what is the plan for capturing the attention and hopefully the views?

[35:29] What's that going to look like?

[35:31] Do you have my answer?

[35:32] Oh, yeah.

[35:34] I always look to Dan.

[35:38] Yeah, so the digital bill board will be done a little different.

[35:42] But I imagine that the artwork is going to be a picture or multiple pictures,

[35:49] but at one point, you know, it's going to flash.

[35:53] And that way people see it as they're going by.

[35:56] And, you know, there's a national company and they do this all the time.

[36:00] So, working with them to create this artwork, I'm sure it'll be something that, yeah, pops in and people can see it.

[36:20] Yeah, and then the other two billboards will be static, so they'll just be a picture up there.

[36:26] Yeah, as something with the email or website address and the digital one will be in Reno.

[36:32] Yeah.

[36:32] Okay, anyone else, public?

[36:34] Yes.

[36:46] I just thought, Tamara, that you had said highlight some of the local businesses, and of

[36:52] course, people are speeding down the road, and you can't read a lot.

[36:56] I can't read a lot while I'm driving fast, but anyway, what I want to know is, and I'm

[37:01] trying not to be mean or ugly here, but I don't want you to highlight just the casino.

[37:07] How about Woody's goodies or my little store, you know, and that may not draw thousands

[37:12] of people in but if you're going to highlight local businesses it'd be interesting ones

[37:16] and vary it somehow and just not the ones we already see for the casino and the one

[37:23] hotel that we have.

[37:25] Something a little different you know and I don't know if you can advertise gun stores

[37:30] on there but you know we'd have you have a lot of outdoor things and I just don't want

[37:36] you to just advertise the casino okay thanks so much.

[37:39] Thank you.

[37:42] Okay. It's going to come back up to Council for discussion now. Council, we're ready to discuss.

[37:48] Did you have a motion to approve?

[37:51] Oh, we do need a motion to approve.

[37:53] Thank you.

[37:54] Motion to approve.

[37:55] What does my student do?

[37:57] You can hear him.

[37:59] He was trying to straighten me out.

[38:02] Okay.

[38:04] Did you make a motion?

[38:05] I made a motion.

[38:06] Do we have a second?

[38:08] Okay you guys now can we discuss please? Who wants to who would like to discuss would you Patrick do you have anything? Well the only thing I would

[38:15] Like say I I'm in favor of doing this. I still am

[38:20] Maybe you two can

[38:22] Tell the public why this was never done before it seems

[38:26] My mind boggling

[38:29] We've never had a billboard to advertise Susanville

[38:34] I think we've never had $32,000

[38:37] That's probably the one I asked, right?

[38:38] All right, I think-

[38:41] I'm sorry we're up here now.

[38:42] Apologize.

[38:43] Yeah, I have to go.

[38:46] Well, I do like the plan, thank you for the entire staff for coming up with this.

[38:53] I think we're going to run to an issue in the future.

[38:57] I think Timber's budget from the ARPA funds is around $150, the $159.

[39:03] And if this is taking $32,000, we're going to run out of money pretty quickly.

[39:11] And that was one of my concerns, so it's something to keep updated, because we do, if there

[39:17] is success, we'll do this three more times, we're just going to be just about out of money.

[39:21] So we may have to invest more into this economic development, because that's my two cents.

[39:29] Okay.

[39:31] I was just wondering, you know, if the clicks, we're going to monitor this by how many

[39:35] clicks that come on the, the website, do we know how many clicks are right now versus

[39:41] what they, you know, so if we get more, we'll see if it's going to grow extensively.

[39:48] I don't know and it will, I think it's going to be a little different when we have the new

[39:53] website it, but I don't know, Dan, can you answer that or Jolene maybe on the...

[40:00] How we, if we can look at clicks, sir. Yeah, I believe, I believe we can. And in the way that

[40:06] tamer and I envision, you know, this kind of working is that we will have a separate URL for it will be probably visit Susanville.gov

[40:30] And so we're really trying to direct people with the billboard to that site so that you know they can access that site and get a wealth of information there.

[40:40] And so if it's a separate page, we should be able to have a counter on it for the number of visits pretty easily.

[40:51] I think that's pretty standard with the web page.

[40:53] Is that something that could be brought back to the council to let us know how many clicks we're getting?

[40:58] Sure. Absolutely. And the other tool that Tamer mentioned was that Placer AI tool where we can

[41:06] compare maybe you know March and April this year to March and April last year March and

[41:11] April the year before and see if we can see any trends. It may be difficult because there's

[41:18] probably a lot of variables that you know we would need to consider but it is a performance measuring

[41:25] tool that we currently have.

[41:31] Yeah, I mean, I just thought it would be nice to have some input thematically, you know?

[41:35] But if the rest of everybody is not really interested in that, it's fine, but that's what I mean.

[41:39] At least broad, because I think if we just focus on tourism and recreation, that may be a little narrow.

[41:47] Especially for marketing and reading.

[41:49] Yeah, the one thing I thought when you said Reno and Placerville and Colfax is they have mountains

[41:58] And especially Reno has beautiful Mount Rose, and they have the rivers and the trails.

[42:04] And what I'm thinking is we might want to focus on something none of those people have,

[42:08] and that is a volcano, and we're the gateway to get there.

[42:13] And so I think we might want to think about something like that.

[42:19] Because if we put up a picture of our mountain, you know, diamond mountain really can't do

[42:27] anything there.

[42:29] But when they put up Mount Rose, you know, there's all kinds of things.

[42:34] So that part, I would be interested in seeing something that nobody else has like the volcano.

[42:41] And that was all I had.

[42:52] I agree with everyone what everyone is saying I just don't want to mess up their timeline

[43:02] or for us to get into their just to slow them down I mean they're the experts and they've

[43:09] been doing this for how many years I would trust them I just don't want to slow down

[43:12] the progress because we may all have a different view plus the post we have a

[43:17] different view and it just slows things up. I don't think we need to be like

[43:21] reviewing their designs or being in the middle of like wood and was working with

[43:25] the contractor but I think if we say these are elements that staff should include

[43:31] while they're designing the billboard that's as far as I would want to go and if

[43:37] If we don't get it on this one, maybe we'll get it on the next round.

[43:41] Yeah.

[43:41] Have we had more time?

[43:42] Yeah.

[43:43] That's true.

[43:44] Yeah, I agree.

[43:45] I don't want to like slow staff.

[43:47] No.

[43:48] No.

[43:48] Yeah.

[43:49] But yeah, for the next two.

[43:50] I should have the idea.

[43:52] Okay.

[43:54] If there's no further discussion, then let's take a vote.

[43:57] Ready?

[43:58] All those in favor?

[43:59] Aye.

[44:00] Opposed?

[44:00] That motion carried unanimously.

[44:03] Okay.

[44:04] Moving on to item 90.

[44:05] Item 9D is to consider resolution number 25-6408, and that's Jolena Ardondo, our assistant

[44:12] to the city.

[44:14] And I also have to take Martin's name down there.

[44:21] Yes.

[44:22] Mr. Newton, you're in charge.

[44:29] Okay.

[44:30] That's okay.

[44:31] Thank you.

[44:32] Yeah.

[44:33] This item item 9D is relating to our golf cart lease at the Diamond Mountain Golf Course.

[44:42] There is a four-year lease that we're currently looking at the end of, and so we need to move forward with a new lease.

[44:55] The situation that we currently have with our golf carts is they are gasoline golf carts.

[45:00] And so we like the gasoline golf carts, but we can no longer get them through a lease in California due to state regulations that require all new equipment that is in the category of a golf cart to be electric. And so we're looking at electric golf carts again. The police agreement that is proposed is another four-year agreement. And I am going to

[45:29] You ask our golf course manager Dave Martin to kind of address the council and present some of his thoughts and opinions on why we're recommending to stay with Yamaha as well as increasing the number of carts that we rent from 30 to 36.

[45:51] Dave, would you like to provide a report?

[45:54] Thank you.

[45:55] Thanks for being here.

[46:00] I'm not a fan of going back to electric carts, but that's what we're forced to do, so we will comply with that.

[46:09] We've had electric carts in the past, so our cart barn is equipped to go back to electric carts.

[46:16] The reason why I want to stay with Yamaha is the working relationship that I have made with Brian Jones,

[46:25] the owner of Classy Golf Carts who provides the maintenance and the warranty work of Yamaha Golf Carts.

[46:35] There's been many times over the years, even with the electric carts and even the gas carts,

[46:41] that I've made a phone call to Brian, told him what issue I'm having with the cart,

[46:48] and he will tell me try this, and if this works, we don't have to come down there

[46:53] or you don't have to come to us and we can fix that cart and 9 out of 10 times that happens.

[46:59] And we fix that cart with no travel for either one of us.

[47:03] I think that's a huge benefit to the city of Susanville where there's no travel time.

[47:13] Several times I've had to take carts to Brian, several times Brian has come to me to get carts fixed

[47:18] just because of the timeline of needing those cards back and ready to run.

[47:24] So that's one of my biggest reasons for wanting to stay with Yamaha.

[47:28] One of the other reasons is I myself have owned a club car, golf cart.

[47:33] I've had several friends of mine own club car and easy go, golf carts,

[47:40] and now we all own Yamaha, golf carts. Yamaha is built tough.

[47:48] It's the Ford pickup of golf carts, and I know some of you are Dodger, Chevy fans, I'm a Ford fan, but what I mean by that is we don't have the smoothest of golf courses at our golf course.

[48:07] We don't have asphalt cart pass and we don't have super smooth fairways and Yamaha golf carts are built tough and they really

[48:17] sustain what we need it to do. The reason why Bailey Creek, the reason why Almond or West, the reason why all of the

[48:25] golf courses in Reno, the reason why they use Yamaha golf carts other than easy going club car. That's the reason why I want to

[48:35] stay with Yamaha. The reason why I want to go to 36 carts rather than 30 carts. We have

[48:42] an 18-hole golf course. If we have 36 golf carts, we have two carts, those of us that

[48:52] play golf, we understand, you have two golf carts per a for some, which is what you really

[48:59] We strive to have is for sums, there's always a lack of carts if you have 30, we can only provide for 15 holes.

[49:11] If we have 36, we can provide for 18 holes, therefore we never run out of golf carts.

[49:17] There are several times during our peak times, which is the end of May, June, July, August,

[49:25] for the beginning of September, where my staff has to turn people away because we don't

[49:31] have enough golf carts.

[49:34] We should never have to ask someone when they call to make a T-time.

[49:38] I have never had to do this.

[49:40] When I make T-times at any golf course, do you want a golf cart?

[49:45] But my staff has to ask that because we're limited to 30 golf carts.

[49:51] So, that six other golf carts will never run out of golf carts that way.

[49:58] Okay, when someone...

[50:00] Commence coming off of 18, those golf carts come around, they get issued to the next four, some, or three, some, and then they take off on number one. We never run out of carts. Also tournaments, we are constantly, I'm not, because I'm not, I'm not going to put myself out there, and I'm not going to certainly put the city out there. But in, in golf tournaments, constantly, people that are putting on golf tournaments with us are having to go out and ask the public

[50:29] who owns golf carts, personal golf carts, if they can use them.

[50:35] I'm not going to, I'm not going to do that because I'm not going to put all of you

[50:41] or the city of Susanville in that fire, if something happens to that golf cart now

[50:46] we're responsible for that golf cart so I don't do that but the people putting on those

[50:52] golf tournaments do, they shouldn't have to do that.

[50:56] So that's the reason for the 36.

[50:58] We can accommodate 36 carts in our cart bar, and I've spent a little bit of time out on the cart bar and moving some things around.

[51:07] The other thing that Yamaha does is they provide a charging cord.

[51:13] There's two different sizes with Yamaha. There's an 8 foot, which is the standard.

[51:18] And then they also have 15 foot cords, which we would need 8 of those in order to accommodate the six extra carts.

[51:28] they're just a longer cord that reaches to the cart in order to charge the batteries.

[51:33] Easy go and club cart don't provide that.

[51:35] So if we went with an easy go or a club car, we would be stuck with 30 again.

[51:43] We can't upgrade to 36 because they don't provide that longer cord.

[51:48] So Yamaha just once again, Yamaha is just the better product.

[51:54] But obviously, I would love to have the lithium batteries we can't afford that.

[52:05] I know we can't afford that.

[52:06] Jolene knows we can't afford that, Dan knows we can't afford that.

[52:11] The acid batteries that Yamaha has is a Trojum battery, it's about the best.

[52:17] There is out there in the acid-style batteries,

[52:22] signing into a 48-month lease program with them.

[52:27] That's what we've had in the past with the electric carts.

[52:31] And with the work of Brian Jones, the owner of Classy,

[52:36] we've been able to make 48 months work.

[52:40] So that's my two bits.

[52:42] Thank you.

[52:45] Council, any clarifying questions?

[52:47] Any questions?

[52:51] Nothing?

[52:52] Okay.

[52:52] Public, any questions on this?

[52:54] All right.

[52:55] We need a motion of second.

[52:58] I'll move to approve 256408.

[53:01] Second.

[53:02] Okay.

[53:03] Is there any discussion?

[53:04] Then all those in favor?

[53:06] Aye.

[53:07] Opposed?

[53:08] Motion carries.

[53:10] Okay.

[53:10] Item 9E.

[53:11] We're on page 260 of the agenda if you're following.

[53:15] Item 9E is to consider resolution number 25-6409.

[53:19] four, zero, nine, and that Shonda Japs, our finance director.

[53:37] We're going to try to get Shonda's computer through the projector.

[53:42] So I'm going to, I might just take us a minute because I'm going to disconnect my computer.

[54:41] Is this one?

[54:45] Okay, it's that time of year.

[54:47] As you know, that's not good.

[55:00] Okay, let's see if this one. Third time's the chart, right? Okay, so mid-year budget, we adopt the budget twice a year, once the beginning of the year, and we do a mid-year analysis to see wherever, if we're meeting projections, we've got a quarter works of sales tax, property taxes, things like that. And so we take a hard look at everyone's budget throughout the year and see if there are any changes that need to be made. So right now, our general fund expenditures

[55:29] what we're proposing to do will be about just over 13 million and all our other

[55:35] funds are at 16 million for a total city budget of 29 million and I'll pull

[55:40] those up to go into those numbers a little bit more in debt. I

[55:53] have it all for

[56:01] you

[56:01] guys to see. Okay so as you know we approve Exhibit A each year is them in

[56:09] budget. So, like I was saying, our new overall budget for the city is 29 million, which

[56:17] you see here down at the bottom. That's the number I was talking about for our overall

[56:21] city budget. So, to get into the changes that we're projecting, what I do on this spreadsheet

[56:30] and this was included in your packet is, so this number here at the top, this 409000, that

[56:38] That is Exhibit A, that's revenues, minus expenses, plus transfer in, subtracting out transfer

[56:44] out to that 409.

[56:46] So that's where we started, what was adopted at the beginning of the year.

[56:50] And then I plug in all the resolutions that we have done throughout the course of the year.

[56:57] And then now, then these other items are the items that each department has proposed to make,

[57:05] changes at this point in time as the year is progressed and they need more things.

[57:12] Okay, so I'm just going to go through these items that the departments have proposed at this point in time.

[57:20] And yeah, if you have any questions for them, you know, when we get towards the end, we can open it up for questions if you need further clarifying items.

[57:28] items. So in the general fund, this is our 1000 funds. The major item that we're adding

[57:35] to this budget is the fire truck purchase. So 570,000 of that is coming from the general

[57:42] funds and that is a transfer over to the fire funds. We also had the Civic Plus website.

[57:51] And then now we've had a few items. These are the ads. There's some technical services for

[57:56] increased cost to Compilog. The Fishing Derby, we didn't end up actually cutting the check last year for the Fishing Derby, so we've got to cut that second year, so we're making that right.

[58:08] So we've got to add the budget capacity in this year, since it didn't carry over. Then there was a thousand dollars for a final CDCR, the final billing for all that litigation costs that were also adding there.

[58:20] This 10-11 was a cost allocation plan that the spreadsheets were tallying quite right so this is money that we're having to provide parks from the various funds to make sure everything is balanced and even so that's just a fix from the fiscal year and you'll see that carry through to the different departments because all the departments use facilities and code enforcement.

[58:45] So those were all the general fund changes that were proposing at this time.

[58:51] Police were seeing a few changes here.

[58:56] They only had the Walmart grant.

[58:58] That was their only ad by resolution throughout the year.

[59:01] They are asking for $20,000 in additional overtime for more responses,

[59:06] since there's been some pretty significant events that have happened over the last six months.

[59:12] that has kind of hurt their overtime budget because they've had to provide

[59:17] response to those items. Then these three, the professional services,

[59:22] investigative funds and technical services, they're all 16,000 and that was

[59:26] a result of an investigation that they needed to conduct which wasn't budgeted

[59:30] at the beginning of the year. Now vehicles, there's 25,000, that is because in

[59:38] last year's budget, the outfitting didn't occur for the vehicle that was purchased last

[59:44] year, so that is a needed carryover item that they needed to include in this year so that

[59:52] they're not over spending their vehicle budget for this year as they're purchasing this

[59:55] year's budget.

[59:58] Um, let's see.

[1:00:00] Fire. Now, there are, so this is the one change from the packet versus what I'm showing you right now. I noticed that the fire truck was actually in your packet was in police. It should be in fire because it's a fire truck. So I didn't make that adjustment, but it is in net zero because it's the 929 coming in and 929 going out. So that was the major change in the fire budget was the purchase of the vehicle. That's the one that we've been patiently waiting to come in.

[1:00:29] So hopefully we'll see that soon.

[1:00:32] Let's see, machinery and equipment, they're looking to purchase three new radios for their staff for response.

[1:00:41] The garage door is not working well.

[1:00:44] So they're needing to replace the garage door and that was not budgeted for this year.

[1:00:49] Additional means for travel and training of $10,000 and some additional safety items of $10,000.

[1:00:56] And then SCBAs, that has been something that was brought up as part of the fire mitigation

[1:01:03] funds, but also will need to come out of their cash balance because it's about a $230,000

[1:01:07] to replace their whole thing, so $130,000 will be coming out of the fire budget.

[1:01:13] But they do have the cash balance available to cover those costs.

[1:01:18] And then the last general fund item is the Community Services, the 1011.

[1:01:28] So there was the solar app plus grant, which you see here for 40,000, and then there's

[1:01:34] a few minor adjustments, some additional training for the building inspector and code enforcement

[1:01:40] to get their CEUs and some minor adjustments just for increased cost that we've seen going up like electricity at the tennis courts with the new lights, things like that because there's more usage with the new pickleball courts and things of that nature down here.

[1:01:58] This is where you'll see actually the negative expense because they are receiving those funds like I was talking about that cost allocation from the other departments to provide the services to other departments.

[1:02:07] So that's why those two are negative expenses because it's money coming in.

[1:02:13] So that's general fund.

[1:02:15] I'll pause for a second if there's anything questions.

[1:02:23] Moving on, we did set up the code of maintenance fund.

[1:02:26] So we funded that with $150,000 right now in the St. Francis.

[1:02:30] We've had two resolutions bringing the budget there to $100,000.

[1:02:34] So those have been inputted there.

[1:02:37] Our state cops grant is remaining stable.

[1:02:41] The American Rescue Plan, the ARPA funding, so we had started the year we had included most of the projects that we had approved throughout the last six months in our original budget.

[1:02:53] The only ones that were not included in that original budget is the Symphony Business Plan and that golf course allocation.

[1:03:00] So you see those two added there as well.

[1:03:05] There's no increasing budget besides the projects that they have brought forward for the gateway design, so those are those two items there.

[1:03:16] Streets, again, the 2007 side of streets. It's just the gateway project there and then some minor communications and two license their staff with some classic licensing over there.

[1:03:35] We approved a vehicle purchase during the year, so that is added.

[1:03:40] And then the fire mitigation, like I was talking about earlier, the SCBAs, that's that other 100,000 I was referring to earlier.

[1:03:49] No changes in park dedication at this point.

[1:03:53] OTS grant, we got another year worth of funding, so that has been added.

[1:03:57] And then our CDBG, we did, you guys did make the motion to return that large donation

[1:04:03] since that project was not, so that is why there's an expense because we have to pay that

[1:04:07] money back.

[1:04:11] Let's see, water, we're looking at about 31,000 increases in water through all the various

[1:04:21] water funds including Johnsonville, you know, as you might have known a couple of weeks

[1:04:28] together, there's been a higher, there's been more water leaks this year, so the overtime

[1:04:31] budget has needed a little bit of strain. We've had some pretty major issues. So they

[1:04:36] need to do that as well as water radios to support those change outs that they're needing

[1:04:41] to be done in those items. Let's see. Geo. A new pump motor was purchased and other electrical

[1:04:52] and other parts, so we're looking at about 7,6600 of increases there.

[1:05:02] Natural gas sending some staff to truck, truck driving school, and then there was also the major thing was it was just a expense that was missed. There's a rental expense to the general fund for renting the facility, the shop. They paid the general fund because the general fund owns it and the utilities pay rent to the general fund. So that revenue was budgeted, but the expense we needed to make sure to expense have that

[1:05:32] that extends in the budget.

[1:05:38] Airports, like Bob mentioned earlier,

[1:05:40] that PMMP area is inputted in,

[1:05:42] and then that cost allocation grants.

[1:05:47] And that's all the public works one.

[1:05:49] Well, we'll just talk about golf course

[1:05:50] because that's the only one left.

[1:05:53] So yeah, there are three resolutions that we did here,

[1:05:58] the ARPA allocation, and then pump motor and pump repair.

[1:06:01] And then the other items were just some equipment repair

[1:06:04] and electricity costs because of the increased pumping costs that we've had and those were all the changes there.

[1:06:15] So that gets through a very quick broadside overview of that.

[1:06:20] The one thing I didn't talk about earlier with the General Fund is that we are not proposing any additional transfers

[1:06:27] over all as part of budget policy this year because we had such a tight budget that any proposed additions needed to come out of cash balance

[1:06:34] and all the departments do have cash balances available to support the increases that they

[1:06:41] requested.

[1:06:42] So I'll pause there again.

[1:06:46] Is that it?

[1:06:48] Well I'll go over a few things just some more broad, but if there are any other questions

[1:06:52] on the specifics that the public works because that was the majority of the other ones,

[1:06:57] is there anything?

[1:07:02] Okay, so

[1:07:06] this is the Exhibit A that you would be approving as part of the mid-year one taking

[1:07:12] all those into effect now.

[1:07:18] This couldn't look a little scary, but so right now our deficit is 1.2 million because

[1:07:27] of this is budgeting, so we're doing one time expenses, for instance, that fire truck is

[1:07:34] 979,000. So while that looks scary that we were in a deficit budget, it's because of

[1:07:40] those one-time expenses. And so that is the thing that we highlighted during an initial

[1:07:44] budget adoption. So I wanted to show that to you guys, bigger again. Okay, so the original

[1:07:56] items we had over, we were about at $400,000 deficit when we started the year. And we outlined

[1:08:04] about 528,000 worth of one-time expenses at the original adoption.

[1:08:09] So that's where our level of comfortability was at because we're not deficit operations,

[1:08:15] operationally. It's just these one-time expenses. So these were all the ones that we referenced at the beginning of the year.

[1:08:21] So then I was adding the ones that we are proposing at mean here now.

[1:08:27] So like I said, we've got the fire truck there as the general fund, the 1000, as well as the 359 that's coming out of the cash from the fire truck.

[1:08:39] And then these other one time expenses from the police department for those investigative funds and the 16,000 for the outfitting.

[1:08:47] And then I lowered this down to 110,000 versus 130 you saw over there because we had already accounted for 20,000.

[1:08:55] At the beginning of the year, we were building capital funds and budgeting for those so that they could build a cash balance, and then as over the course of this year, it's become more emergent, so we need to go ahead and make that purchase at this time.

[1:09:10] So that brings us to 1.6 of one time expenses that were budgeting.

[1:09:19] Like I said, our deficit was at about 1.2 million, so operationally we've got a

[1:09:24] $359,000 surplus. So that's where that at. Other things that we're just

[1:09:32] monitoring at this point in time is our revenues that have been coming in, sales

[1:09:37] tax and Bradley Burns are not meeting projections. Right now this is what our

[1:09:42] latest consultant has provided with that will be about $250,000.

[1:09:49] Low, California as a whole is not economically performing well.

[1:09:54] We're seeing losses of 4 to 10% across the board, so they did go ahead.

[1:10:00] And with the unsettling political climate that we have right now, people are holding on to their money more so because of the economic instability right now. However, we're not making any adjustments to our overall revenue projections because our property taxes came in and they came in higher. And we're looking at exceeding those by about 100,000. We've been making good returns on our life investment. And so we're over 100. And then our TOT is looking.

[1:10:29] positive right now so our revenues as a whole we're looking to actually exceed

[1:10:34] them but we're not making any line item adjustments to any of our

[1:10:37] projections right now so all that revenues are just a monitoring phase and

[1:10:41] just kind of keeping as it go and not spending where we don't need to so

[1:10:49] that's

[1:10:49] the overall any questions with that right now? Some of the one-time expenditures what

[1:10:55] percentage of those are our performance.

[1:10:59] No?

[1:11:00] Um.

[1:11:01] Any?

[1:11:03] None of those are our performance.

[1:11:06] Even for the fire truck, I thought we, oh, maybe we did take that.

[1:11:09] Yeah, the fire truck ended up being PG&E.

[1:11:19] So the only other thing on this one.

[1:11:22] I think, I think, um, I think we might need to make an adjustment, because I, I, I, I,

[1:11:29] I'm sorry I didn't catch it earlier, but right toward the end of the last fiscal year,

[1:11:34] there was a resolution of the council to use, like, our refunds entirely for the fire

[1:11:43] truck.

[1:11:44] And, well, I think it was entirely, we'd have to look at it.

[1:11:48] And then shift the money that we had earmarked from the PG&E funds or the general fund to

[1:11:54] the fire track, we here mark that for the Performing Arts Center. So, yeah.

[1:12:02] That is, probably,

[1:12:06] I don't know how much that changes. It obviously is going to be more favorable to the General

[1:12:12] Fund at the moment until, you know, the action is taken on the Performing Arts Center.

[1:12:17] But, I think that's, yeah, I just want to come from that member boarder was there.

[1:12:34] The only other thing that is part of your packets, and I want to make sure to be able

[1:12:41] to put a plug in for our sales tax advisory board.

[1:12:45] So I did go ahead and prepare the reports, so right now we actually do not have a quorum.

[1:12:50] We only have two members on our stop board so we cannot meet.

[1:12:56] But we still have to functionally complete our meeting of your budget and things like that.

[1:13:01] So I did prepare the report that would have been presented and provided that, but it has not been approved or submitted by them, but this is this is the report that would have been presented to them.

[1:13:15] So like I said, you know, we're not adjusting any revenues, so we're still maintaining the 2.3 million and measure P funding and providing 50% of our economic development budget out of measure P funding and our $60,000 M O E match for a street fund.

[1:13:30] And then the remaining measure key revenue of 2.1 million, we're allocating on a percentage basis to police and fire.

[1:13:40] 65% going to police and fire, I'm getting the remaining 35% so that we're fully budgeting the entire, the entirety of our measure key funding.

[1:13:52] So right now looking at where police and fire are at.

[1:13:59] The police department has expanded 56% of their operating budget, which is right at the target

[1:14:06] mark they want to be as of January 31st, so they'll, they're on track to expand their

[1:14:13] full budget at the end of fiscal year.

[1:14:14] The fire department is only at 50%, so they're slightly behind, but they've got some major one-time

[1:14:19] purchases that come more later in the year, so they're on track to expand their full budget

[1:14:23] as well.

[1:14:25] And then that's 60,000. We book a year ends. Traditionally, it's just a year-end close-out process.

[1:14:33] Despite the fact that revenue projections aren't meeting the targets, we are, like I said,

[1:14:40] continuing to maintain those marks, but our legacy tax or other general fund tax,

[1:14:46] that's generally what I call the normal 1% that we get, not the extra 1%.

[1:14:53] and so that will be supporting any shortfalls that come.

[1:15:00] As a result of the measure P, not meeting expectations. So right now, the police department is at $5.9 million

[1:15:08] budget, the fire department as a $2.8 million budget, and then the rest of these, that should be

[1:15:18] the 163,000 there.

[1:15:23] And just to be clear, you know, because we have those other general funds,

[1:15:29] you know, like the legacy taxes fully supporting our parks, the 10-11 fund, and our administration,

[1:15:34] like none of those are coming out of the measure P funds.

[1:15:40] And so overall, the measure P funding 61%

[1:15:45] goes to police, 33% goes to fire, 4% goes to economic development, and 2% goes to streets.

[1:15:52] And all four of those are authorized usage as part of the advisory measure that went along with measure P,

[1:15:59] and are to be consistent in support of measuring with that I'm looking for a

[1:16:09] motion to approve thank you council any clarifying concerns the board the

[1:16:18] stop board are we actively looking to fill those positions or has there

[1:16:23] We've even been in Andrews.

[1:16:26] Yes and no.

[1:16:28] So maybe what happened, we do have, I think, one person who's interested in the stop board that we need to follow up with.

[1:16:38] But we had three board members active and recently one of the three resigned.

[1:16:45] And so the two active board members, we don't have a quorum.

[1:16:49] So, and that happened, I think, within the last month or two, where we have been actively

[1:16:57] advertising and several of us have approached people within the community, we're just not

[1:17:02] getting a lot of interest, unfortunately, and people will be wanting to participate.

[1:17:12] Anything else?

[1:17:13] All right.

[1:17:14] Public, any questions, comments on this?

[1:17:17] Yes.

[1:17:18] Yes.

[1:17:25] Thank you, Shonda, for all of that information that's a lot to digest, because I'm saying there are a lot of numbers.

[1:17:31] So basically, you look at the whole budget, where are we standing budget wise?

[1:17:37] Are we healthy?

[1:17:38] Do we have that, is that 300, did I hear you clearly?

[1:17:40] We have 369,000 surpluses at just for operations or is that budget wise?

[1:17:47] Why, budget wide?

[1:17:51] So yes, if we have the money right now, ARPA funding, we have the cash balance, these

[1:18:00] were projects that we were building up for, like the general plan update and other things.

[1:18:04] So we anticipated those costs and we have been building up cash balance to support those

[1:18:10] costs.

[1:18:11] So operationally yes, we're at the 359, we can still have that surplus and we still have

[1:18:17] But because we're doing some of these major projects, our point in time look for this fiscal year, we're in a deficit budget because we're sending that cash out right now to perform those projects.

[1:18:29] But at the end of the fiscal year, will we be doing better than because you said we're through the fiscal year, so we'll be doing better later on based on tax receipts and property tax receipts, those type of things?

[1:18:43] Yes, in the sense, our cash balance will go down because we're putting out the cash for these major projects.

[1:18:48] Yeah, I understand that.

[1:18:50] But we will operationally be, if we only looked at the expenses that we need to operate on a day-to-day basis, we would be in a surplus.

[1:18:59] Yes.

[1:19:00] Okay, okay, because I was just wondering how the communication piece would fit into that.

[1:19:04] I was kept looking on the chart up here where a communications IE microphones and this would fit in.

[1:19:12] And I don't know if that would come out of the operations budget.

[1:19:15] Would that come out of building, where would that come out of for something like this, Mr. Newton?

[1:19:22] So if we're looking at equipment upgrades on a one time basis,

[1:19:28] like the city has cash balances.

[1:19:33] Say for example, in a general fund that is available for those types of things,

[1:19:38] that the concern is that we need to be, that money is precious and we need to be very cautious

[1:19:45] without spent. And so it's not uncommon for us to build up a cash balance over time if,

[1:19:54] you know, year after year our revenues are exceeding our expenses. So that's what we have.

[1:20:00] We have now as we have a cash balance that's built up, but if we buy equipment, there's a couple things on Chandra's report. We're trying to buy two police cars a year to improve our police fleet. Whereas before we had measure P, we really couldn't afford to buy any police cars. We are upgrading the equipment as we have those funds available, but we're close.

[1:20:29] I mean, we're close to being, a lot of schools have thought in government is like the right answer from a budgetary standpoint is zero because we want to spend the money to provide the services to the public, but we don't want to spend too much such that we're putting in the city in a financial predicament, so I think we're hovering right around probably where we want to be, but it doesn't give us a lot of additional capacity year after year to do anything big if that makes sense.

[1:20:59] Because measure P is mostly for public safety then because when we they were talking about the tax increase then that most of it from what I understand went for public safety so it's really not then for things like an equipment upgrade like in this room. Is that what I'm hearing?

[1:21:16] Yeah, Madam Mayor, is it okay if I continue?

[1:21:21] So when we did the voters voted on Measure P, it was accompanied by Measure Q. Measure Q was an advisory measure, and it identified three things that we would use the funding for public safety, streets, and business development or economic development, right, and so we really, I think, have done a good job keeping the Measure P expenses into those three categories.

[1:21:47] And if you remember, we were trying to fill like a 1.2 million dollar operational deficit.

[1:21:57] So the majority of the measure P money went to fill that deficit to continue to provide the existing services.

[1:22:05] And then we were able to increase some of our compensation for our employees to pay more competitively so that we were able to fill

[1:22:16] positions that we were currently holding vacant at the time.

[1:22:19] So it depends on how you look at it.

[1:22:22] It didn't result in an increase of positions that we had on our proof position list, but

[1:22:28] it did allow us to fill vacant positions.

[1:22:30] So we did end up with more boots on the ground because we were able to fill positions.

[1:22:33] But, yeah, the measure P funds is substantially accounted for and

[1:22:39] and substantially used, as Sean presented with her stop report,

[1:22:44] the vast majority of that money does go to police and fire for the services.

[1:22:49] Thank you.

[1:22:51] Thank you, thank you, Mr. Newton.

[1:22:53] Anyone else?

[1:22:55] All right, we need a motion and a second to discuss this, guys.

[1:22:59] I'll make a motion.

[1:23:01] Okay.

[1:23:02] I'll second.

[1:23:03] Okay, we have a motion and a second.

[1:23:05] Any discussion on this?

[1:23:09] Okay, because it's a budget, I'm going to dismiss this with our city clerk to do a roll call vote on it.

[1:23:25] Aye.

[1:23:26] That's from the board.

[1:23:27] Yes.

[1:23:27] Here puts that brown.

[1:23:29] Yes.

[1:23:29] And there she is.

[1:23:30] Yes.

[1:23:32] Okay.

[1:23:33] That motion passed unanimously.

[1:23:36] Moving on to item 9 F. Item 9 F is to consider the purchase of hangar number 32 and Bob Godman, our public

[1:23:44] The board's director is going to present.

[1:23:46] Thank you Madam Mayor, Council members.

[1:23:48] This is to consider the purchase of Hanger No. 32

[1:23:51] with the student splare port as part of the agreement,

[1:23:55] the city of Susanville and those currently owning hangers

[1:23:57] at the airport.

[1:24:00] The city has the first or the refusal

[1:24:01] of the current owner to sell his or her hanger.

[1:24:05] At this time, talking very well,

[1:24:07] I'm going to hang her for 32 submitted notice

[1:24:09] of an intent to sell that hanger for $105,000.

[1:24:13] city was to produce that here or the selling price of $105,000 it would take approximately 36 years for a return on investment for that hanger.

[1:24:23] Now if this impact would be out.

[1:24:31] Okay, thank you.

[1:24:33] Council, any clarifying questions on this?

[1:24:36] I've got some questions.

[1:24:37] So in the mission of the packet, the rent income as this is $2400 is that for the year?

[1:24:46] These are these annual rental incomes that are on the, so within the packet, then so it seems like the rent is very low.

[1:24:56] For airports, it's like 200.

[1:25:05] The hangar is, do you guys do, confidate, square foot,

[1:25:11] do you want to do an army of square feet?

[1:25:13] I'll

[1:25:26] fix your hangar.

[1:25:49] Okay, anyone else? All right, public any questions on this?

[1:25:55] Mr. Blavans, do you have any questions on this for us?

[1:25:59] Not really. I come out of the letter no matter whether you go against or no.

[1:26:07] The person, the private individual that has made the offer has

[1:26:13] He's angry with the Reno area and he would like to bring it over closer to where he's working, living or whatever.

[1:26:24] So he came to me and I didn't

[1:26:30] want to do that. See if he could bring the American closer to where he's, I think, living.

[1:26:36] Okay. Thank you. Anyone else in the public?

[1:26:41] All right. We need a motion in a second.

[1:26:44] I'll motion it.

[1:26:48] Oh.

[1:26:49] Thank you.

[1:26:52] So you guys, are you interested in buying?

[1:26:56] No.

[1:26:57] No.

[1:26:58] So the consensus was we're not interested at this time.

[1:27:03] Okay. Thank you guys.

[1:27:06] All right.

[1:27:07] Moving on to item 9-I, you guys were on page 297 of our agenda.

[1:27:14] Item 9-I is to discuss our citywide planning and that our strategic plan and that would

[1:27:25] be Mr. Newton, sorry.

[1:27:27] Thank you Madam Mayor, I wanted to provide an update to the council regarding the city's

[1:27:35] strategic planning effort. At the January 15th meeting, we as staff introduced this strategic

[1:27:43] planning approach, Council will provide a direction to staff to develop a new mission statement

[1:27:48] for consideration. That would accomplish two things. One, express the identity and purpose

[1:27:54] of our organization and two, convey the message as to why we exist. And so, unfortunately, we

[1:28:04] We haven't had a tremendous amount of time at the staff level to really kind of vet

[1:28:09] out.

[1:28:09] We have started.

[1:28:11] We had one brainstorming meeting where we talked about our mission statement and the

[1:28:18] services that we currently provide.

[1:28:21] What is our core purpose as a city like what services are we required to provide by law?

[1:28:29] And so we did draft a preliminary mission statement and we're circulating it through our senior staff at this time.

[1:28:40] I do hope to have a draft for Council's consideration at our next meeting.

[1:28:48] But I just wanted to, you know, it's hoping that maybe it would come together between the time the agenda was posted and the meeting.

[1:28:54] but there's been some other urgent circumstances

[1:28:58] that have kind of kept us from working on that

[1:29:01] the last couple days, so we're all working on it,

[1:29:04] and we should be able to have an update

[1:29:07] at our next meeting.

[1:29:09] Okay.

[1:29:09] So we'll just discuss it then if that's okay with council.

[1:29:13] Okay, let's move on then.

[1:29:19] We're moving to item 13A.

[1:29:21] Item 13A is our department reports,

[1:29:24] and if she has her voice, we begin with Jolene.

[1:29:29] She doesn't have her voice, so, and I think Mr. Ed

[1:29:33] Holmes is getting ready to walk out right now.

[1:29:36] I'm looking at him.

[1:29:38] OK.

[1:29:38] Hold on.

[1:29:40] OK.

[1:29:41] So we'll start with Bob Gunman.

[1:29:43] How's that?

[1:29:43] Our public works director, and then we'll end

[1:29:45] with Mr. Newton, our city manager.

[1:29:47] Thank you, Madam Mayor.

[1:29:51] There are some girls out there killing them here at Greyhouse.

[1:29:53] March 18th is National Natural Gas Utility.

[1:30:00] Quality workers day. So, we're probably going to do a little something for our entire public works department, but especially the natural gas workers. Our natural gas workers, that's a, that's a commitment to lifelong learning, probably of every 40 hours they work. I would say three of them. They spend on their own queue trainings. So they're in the classroom for three hours, probably a week.

[1:30:32] learning the new safety regs, going through a constant learning process for them to know

[1:30:40] the regulations, to know how to do their job so that they're providing us with the safe

[1:30:45] gas utility.

[1:30:46] So kudos to those guys for all the work they do and all the learning that they put into

[1:30:50] that job.

[1:30:52] And then this afternoon we started an Instagram account for the community garden.

[1:30:59] So we're hoping that's going to spread the word about the community gardens, and then it will be a way for the

[1:31:06] plot holders to

[1:31:11] document what they make or what they grow at the community garden. So if you want to follow it, it's Susanville Community Gardens

[1:31:19] on Instagram and Susanville Community and Garden are capitalized and it's all together with no spaces.

[1:31:27] and you'll see a picture of our sign that we had made down there for the garden.

[1:31:32] So I'll help.

[1:31:34] Thank you.

[1:31:38] I don't have a lot, but I did want to remind everybody that Monday is our finance workshop

[1:31:44] and that's going to be held at the Fire Department starting at 5.30.

[1:31:49] Our newsletter is out and I was glad to see some of you picked it up and the other thing

[1:31:56] I just wanted to announce that I was asked and voted in to be on the Board of Directors

[1:32:00] for Team California.

[1:32:02] So I'll be doing that for a couple of years.

[1:32:04] Okay.

[1:32:05] Yeah.

[1:32:05] Cool.

[1:32:06] That's it.

[1:32:12] Let's see.

[1:32:13] What have we been working on?

[1:32:15] We have a new admin assistant for public works who started, yes, for a, we're doing interviews

[1:32:23] for the admin assistant position for upstairs.

[1:32:27] This week, it started the first phase of room this week, hopefully finishing them this week.

[1:32:35] Gearing up definitely for part-time employees coming in for ball course and soon to be cool.

[1:32:43] So getting the packets and stuff ready for them.

[1:32:47] And then, this time of year, definitely insurance renewals.

[1:32:52] I'm going to say that at a very single time and then also following up with with our board members, commission members, just reminding them about the training requirements for sexual harassment, training, or ethics, and then also the folks that have had good submissions.

[1:33:10] Thank you.

[1:33:16] So yeah, we went over the majority of what's going on earlier, but yeah, I was telling

[1:33:23] department heads earlier.

[1:33:25] Once this is done, we're shifting straight into next year's budget, so they're going

[1:33:29] to have to put their next year's request in here quickly, because that will be upon us.

[1:33:35] I did get our 223 audit back from our auditors this week.

[1:33:42] So I'm looking to have that on the agenda next meeting. I'm assuming that all the calendaring goes well

[1:33:48] But it seems to be working out. So look for that

[1:33:53] Other than that we do have a vacancy in our department that just closed last week. So hopefully we'll be doing interviews

[1:33:59] next week

[1:34:01] And we'll have a new face again

[1:34:07] Lieutenant Stafford is with us this evening

[1:34:12] What do you have for us?

[1:34:13] So the police departments have been a little busy.

[1:34:15] I don't know if you guys saw our press release

[1:34:17] that we put out on Tuesday.

[1:34:18] We had a pursuit last Friday, early morning.

[1:34:21] Person was going over 60 miles an hour through town.

[1:34:24] Luckily, it was one in the morning,

[1:34:26] so not a huge set of public safety at that time,

[1:34:28] but it was resolved very peacefully.

[1:34:31] And the subject was arrested for evading

[1:34:33] and driving under the influence.

[1:34:35] So that was a good positive that we had last week

[1:34:38] from our patrol team.

[1:34:40] On Sunday, we're able to pin a new sergeant part department, so we'd like to welcome Sergeant Hoover, so we did a little short ceremony at the Police Department.

[1:34:49] We're hoping to get into the next council meeting to meet you guys, so look forward to that.

[1:34:53] And then tomorrow, we're also having a coffee with the cop at 10 at Joe, so anybody wants to swing by.

[1:35:00] Please come see us. We'll be down there. Sounds good. Thank you. Mr. Neige. Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor. Two things I wanted to actually three. Report on one is we are currently working on our housing element update. There have been, I believe three virtual workshops that have been held. The consultant is taking the feedback that's been received and

[1:35:29] and preparing a draft document for circulation, so hopefully we'll have that administrative

[1:35:39] draft done within the next two to four weeks.

[1:35:43] The process involves an extensive review by the State of California, so there'll be

[1:35:52] a couple of iterations back and forth, but that work is proceeding and we anticipate having

[1:35:58] a housing element for Council's consideration, I believe, sometime this fall, there's just

[1:36:07] quite a bit of review time that's built into the process from the state side of things.

[1:36:13] The other item I wanted to mention is we do tomorrow night have another virtual meeting,

[1:36:19] which is the scoping meeting for the Susanville Travel Stop Project, centered around the Environmental

[1:36:30] The elements of that particular document that may need to be addressed for the project

[1:36:36] to move forward.

[1:36:38] So, looking for public input on that particular project.

[1:36:42] The link for the Zoom meeting can be found on the city's webpage.

[1:36:48] It's on the front page.

[1:36:50] So if anybody is interested in attending that meeting, please go to the front page of our website

[1:36:55] and click the Zoom Meeting link.

[1:36:59] The other item is that there is an upcoming annual City Leader Summit.

[1:37:05] It's in April and last year, I think Council, two Council members attended Mayor Schuster

[1:37:13] and Mayor Proton Brown, and I just wanted to ask if there's any interest from any other

[1:37:20] Council members to attend that conference this year.

[1:37:25] It's an opportunity to interface with our state representatives in the Senate and the House.

[1:37:35] And there's also some, it is scheduled to take place during a legislative session.

[1:37:40] So there's quite a bit going on in Sacramento at that time.

[1:37:42] It's just one of the better conferences that I've attended in the past.

[1:37:47] And I plan on going this year myself.

[1:37:50] The dates are, is that calendar got April?

[1:37:55] It's, I think the April, it's the 23rd, 24th and 25th.

[1:38:04] So if you're interested in attending that, if you just let me know.

[1:38:08] And then if it turns out that several of you are interested then I'll bring it back on the next meeting

[1:38:15] and for some direction, but if we can definitely handle one or two, if that's how it works out.

[1:38:24] Okay, sounds good. Thank you.

[1:38:29] You have a question. Can you come up here? I'm sorry.

[1:38:37] Mr. Newton, will that Zoom meeting be tomorrow night, be on the same format as the housing element zooms?

[1:38:44] Pretty much.

[1:38:48] I mean those are on zoom as well so yes but I think the consultant that's doing the housing

[1:38:56] element has a probably a higher level zoom package than the city does so it'll look

[1:39:03] a little different but yeah it'll

[1:39:13] be similar yeah there'll be a presentation and an opportunity

[1:39:17] for comments and those types of things.

[1:39:23] Thank you guys.

[1:39:24] We're going to move on to item 14A.

[1:39:26] Item 14A is future council items.

[1:39:28] Council, do you have anything for future council?

[1:39:31] Just along that I mentioned earlier in their favor to bring back discussion on our approved

[1:39:38] position list to talk about adding possibly three positions to public works.

[1:39:45] Discussion item?

[1:39:47] Yes.

[1:39:47] Okay.

[1:39:47] Okay. Are there, we need to other additional council members to...

[1:39:54] Okay, we have one.

[1:39:55] Okay, Patrick, yeah.

[1:39:56] You've got it.

[1:39:57] Thank you very much.

[1:39:58] Thank you.

[1:39:59] Madam Mayor.

[1:40:00] We'll add that to the list, and I wanted to also mention, I was talking to Council Member Parish earlier today, and we have our future Council items list. I'll bring it up here. In this section, we keep track of the items that Council requested, and unfortunately, there was an item that we didn't get up on this list, which is the Council directed staff to bring an item back. It was at the January 15 meeting regarding gas prices.

[1:40:29] So I'll have that on the next agenda for discussion in the March 50th agenda as well.

[1:40:38] And then if, maybe for a little bit of clarification on direction, I can easily have a discussion

[1:40:45] item for the, you know, positions at public works if the council wants to discuss it, but

[1:40:53] I won't really, if I can put that on the next meeting, I want to certainly have time

[1:40:57] to do an analysis on what does cost might be, so if you just want to discuss and provide

[1:41:04] general direction, I can easily put that on the next meeting as well, but if there's

[1:41:08] anything specific that you would like explored.

[1:41:22] Okay. That's fine. Yeah, if the council is okay with that, I can use it.

[1:41:25] I mean, I would be interested in seeing, like, with the approved list, what our vacancies are, as well, across all public works.

[1:41:32] So what positions are filled with vacancy?

[1:41:37] And you would want that citywide or public work specifically?

[1:41:41] Public work.

[1:41:42] Okay, okay.

[1:41:43] Okay.

[1:41:43] Just in the department we're talking about discussing it.

[1:41:45] Okay.

[1:41:46] So it doesn't sound like it needs to be at the next council meeting.

[1:41:50] Okay.

[1:41:50] So yeah, I'll get with council member Brown and kind of get a little bit of a better idea

[1:41:55] on the scope.

[1:41:56] Okay.

[1:41:56] So it's good.

[1:41:57] Yeah.

[1:41:57] We'll figure out what we need to do.

[1:42:00] Okay.

[1:42:02] I just wanted to bring up in light of the fires down in Southern California.

[1:42:07] I know that their hydrants weren't all operational and I was just wondering, I'm sure we

[1:42:12] go out and check our hydrants?

[1:42:15] Yeah, I'm sure we do, too.

[1:42:21] Is there, could we get some sort of report to see if there, because I know when we have

[1:42:25] the fire down there, I think there was a couple hydrants that weren't working right.

[1:42:29] Yeah, we can definitely bring back a report on that as far as the state of our hydrants.

[1:42:38] I know that they are tested periodically. I don't know on what schedule,

[1:42:41] If they're every year, every three years, and we can definitely take a look at that and provide a report back to the council.

[1:42:50] Okay, because I think they go out and then they put on a board someplace that they're working, they're not working.

[1:42:56] I mean, they're not working, I'm sure they...

[1:42:58] Yeah, yeah.

[1:43:00] And sometimes they need to be replaced.

[1:43:04] So if they're not working, they'll go on a schedule to be replaced and the departments notified.

[1:43:10] And I don't know specifically with the you're talking about the St. Francis like what work and didn't work

[1:43:15] I know there were some issues

[1:43:17] Because we were drawing so much water out of that particular zone

[1:43:21] So but I don't know individually if there were any hydrants that

[1:43:25] It didn't work but yeah, that'd be interesting to know just because I hate for us to get that position

[1:43:32] Okay, so do we have two other council members who would like I would like that. That's a great idea

[1:43:37] Okay, so we have support on that too. Okay. Anyone else? Okay then. With that, our next meeting is March 5th and I am looking for a motion to adjourn.

[1:43:54] Okay, see you guys later. Thanks for coming.
