Number one, on 152 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:42,240 the Illinois Valley Paving Company, the closing documents, they've been revised. 153 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,920 I think Jim Morris is working on getting those documents signed and getting back 154 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:51,040 to us. Hopefully by the next meeting we'll have those for your review and 155 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:56,240 approval. Secondly, uh I sent you out a copy of my supplemental city attorney 156 00:09:53,519 --> 00:10:00,800 opinion letter regarding the pending audit that's still not completed. I'm a 157 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,959 little concerned about that. I mean, you got an email from your city clerk today 158 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:10,880 when we received another warning from the state. We now have an extended 159 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:16,240 deadline until I I guess what the 18th of this month that they have to have 160 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:21,200 this audit in. I don't know why it was due on October 30th of last year. There 161 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:27,600 are severe penalties, interest and so forth that can be assessed by the state. 162 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:31,200 They can also uh uh put a stop payment order on any future grants from us. So I 163 00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:36,160 think this is something very serious that you should talk to your accountants 164 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:41,279 about and make sure that the audit does get completed for your approval and 165 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:45,920 submittal prior to the that that date. So um that would have to be at the next 166 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,640 council meeting obviously. So my recommendation mayor is that you get a 167 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,800 hold of the accountants and get them to get this done for you. 168 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:58,320 » And I think Crystal's on top of that. So we'll wait to hear from her. 169 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:02,000 » Thank you Crystal. >> That's it. 170 00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:06,720 Rocky, from a contractual standpoint, you know, I don't remember what the 171 00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:11,040 contract says, but do we have any is there are there any teeth in that in the 172 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:17,200 contract? [clears throat] >> Well, as you may recall, I my suggested 173 00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:19,519 revisions were never made and I think it's been a while since I looked at the 174 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:25,120 contract, but I think you're going you're limited as to what uh you can 175 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:28,959 kick back on them. I think it's limited to what the amount that you paid them. 176 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:34,720 I'll have to check that for sure. But but certainly it is an issue and I think 177 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:38,880 that uh if you consider gone going next year, you need to get that contract 178 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:43,519 revised and get some more teeth into it. Uh because having this kind of a delay 179 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:49,880 and having these threats from the state is not good for the city. 180 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,880 » Thank you. 181 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:59,040 » Mayor report.

Cody, >> I'd like to say something. 208 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:43,040 » I'm supposed to stand up. Uh whenever I came back to assistant chief, there was 209 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:47,600 a there was a issue of pay and it was said in the thing that we would no 210 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:53,600 longer let superintendent percentages drop below where they had made up to. 211 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:58,639 And with this $3,000 thing, my percentages and other people's are going 212 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:02,800 to drop drastically again. And it I don't know what the deal is. We have no 213 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:07,440 problem spending money on other things. It seems like we do not like to spend 214 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:11,760 money on our people. Um, it makes it to where you bring the percentage down and 215 00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:16,160 then everybody wants to leave and then we wonder why people want to leave over 216 00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:21,839 and over and over again whenever you continuously say the work you've done is 217 00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:27,199 great but we're going to take your percentage down. My work my quality of 218 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:33,040 work doesn't go down yet you keep taking my percentage down year after year. From 219 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:36,720 when I stepped up, it was 124%. And now after this, it's going to be down to 220 00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:41,760 about 114ish percent. So it just keeps dropping and 221 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:46,399 it'll drop again. And that's not even including longevity of what the union 222 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:50,639 gets. I'm just including base pay only, but it just keeps happening over. We 223 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:54,160 continue this vicious cycle over and over and over again. We never fix these 224 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,839 problems and we just keep taking everybody's pay down. And I'm like, "Oh, 225 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:02,240 I wonder why people keep leaving the city of Taylorville." 226 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:07,199 I, for one, I'm sick and tired of always getting toyed with and just thrown under 227 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:11,600 the rug. We're supposed to have uh evaluations. I haven't seen any 228 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:15,279 evaluations, but how would anybody even be able to evaluate me on what I do 229 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:21,680 anyway? Nobody could. So, I would say I don't 230 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:26,480 understand why the $3,000 that total is not going to change anything in the city 231 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:31,920 budget between what it was supposed to be and what it would have be if it's the 232 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:36,760 lesser of the two. It makes no sense to me. Can someone please explain that to 233 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,760 me? 234 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:48,240 » If I may, I will say it's it's a $700 difference is about what it is, Cody. 235 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:52,079 And you would the 124 to 114 is not true. It probably if you're 236 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:55,360 » No, I'm saying from when I started back as assistant chief, it was 124. I'm down 237 00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:00,720 at 117 right now. >> Well, the way we got it now and and this 238 00:15:57,199 --> 00:16:08,160 is the sheet that I was provided uh your pay goes from $93,64 239 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:13,560 to $96,64. And with a 4% increase, it would have 240 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:13,560 went to96,786. 241 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:20,160 So it's $722. >> Why is it okay? Why does it have to come 242 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:25,680 out of my pocket when that's nothing compared to the city budget? Nothing. 243 00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:31,839 » $50,000 on a lawn mower, but we can't give $700 to a superintendent. 244 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:35,600 » Well, I think we we the we decided that we got to try to cut corners now. And by 245 00:16:34,079 --> 00:16:39,040 » Why don't you try to make money instead of cut money? We've got an ambulance 246 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,720 sitting over there doing nothing. We've got a a city a lake department that can 247 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,839 make money. We got an airport that can make money. Why aren't we trying to do 248 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,079 that? Why is it always have to come from the employees? 249 00:16:53,839 --> 00:17:00,240 » Thank you. Anyone else like to speak? >> Mr. Mayor, I got a followup comment if I 250 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,880 can make. >> Okay. 251 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:07,039 » I looked at the calendar here and going back on this audit situation.
