[0:12] Okay, it's 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday,
August 5th, 2026.
[0:17] The Tooele City Council's meeting
This is in the Tooele City Water Special
[0:22] Service District, so Tooele City Council
and the Tooele City Water Special
[0:25] Service District is meeting in a
business meeting being held at Tooele
[0:28] City Hall in the Council Chambers
located at 90 North Main Street in
[0:32] Tooele, Utah. We're also streaming this
electronically on the Tooele City
[0:36] YouTube channel. We will start with the
Pledge of Allegiance. If you'll please
[0:40] rise and repeat after me.
[0:44] » I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the
[0:49] republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[0:56] justice for all.
[1:00] » Thank you.
Our second item is a roll call.
[1:03] Councilman Gosiak.
>> Present.
[1:05] » Councilwoman Gochis.
>> Present.
[1:06] » Councilman Hansen.
>> Present.
[1:09] » He's joining us by phone. Councilman
McCall.
[1:12] » Present.
Present.
[1:15] » All right, Councilman Brady, and I'm
also present. Item three is the America
[1:19] 250 tribute to the Tooele Elks Lodge
1673 presented by Marisa Menzel, the
[1:25] mayor.
>> Okay, Council. You know, as you know,
[1:27] we've been doing America 250 tributes
all year long and um just different
[1:33] trying to think of different things that
celebrate America 250 or reflect the
[1:37] American spirit. And tonight, um we
wanted to recognize the Tooele Elks Club
[1:42] as our America 250 tribute due to their
um generous contributions and their
[1:46] service in the community. So,
that's why we're we're recognizing them
[1:50] tonight and I'm going to turn around and
talk to them instead of you. So, sorry.
[1:57] So, um the Tooele Elks has been and
continues to be highly active in our
[2:01] community um since 1945. Here in Tooele,
there are 450-plus Elks members. The
[2:07] Tooele Veterans Memorial Park was
created through a partnership involving
[2:10] the Tooele Elks, Tooele City, and local
citizens. The Elks host a Memorial Day
[2:15] program here every year.
They partner with the Tooele Downtown
[2:18] Alliance and hold a Flag Day ceremony in
June. For decades, the Tooele Elks has
[2:23] had a booth in the Tooele City Park
after the 4th of July parade. They
[2:27] partner every year with the Tooele
County Justice Center to help provide
[2:29] Christmas to families in need, and they
hold a cancer golf scramble annually
[2:33] supporting a local citizen to help pay
for their medical expenses.
[2:37] They sponsor projects and activities at
the Tooele Senior
[2:40] Citizen Center. They offer scholarships
for high school seniors. They hold an
[2:44] annual free show throw contest known as
the Elks Hoop Shoot for children ages 8
[2:47] to 13.
And their most recent contributions to
[2:50] the community have helped sponsor the
awards for the special needs rodeo, as
[2:54] well as their donation to the Oquirrh
Hills Youth Golf program, and you can
[2:57] see a picture um up here. They recently
made a contribution to the junior golf
[3:01] program that will provide scholarships
for five or six youth in that program.
[3:06] And finally, um we wouldn't do justice
if we didn't mention Camp Wapiti that's
[3:11] located in Settlement Canyon on Tooele
City property.
[3:14] It's not entirely a Tooele Elks project.
It's a Utah Elks major project, but it's
[3:19] owned by the Elks, and through their
many charitable endeavors, they provide
[3:22] an opportunity for youth um the ability
to attend summer camp. Youth who are
[3:27] facing a variety of medical challenges,
um I know they just had recently had a
[3:31] burn unit
there um for a camp, and the week before
[3:36] that, I was able to attend the Little
Warriors Camp for just a few hours. It's
[3:40] for families who have lost a parent in
action or have suffered a loss related
[3:43] to PTSD. It was a great camp. The
families got together and did lots of
[3:47] fun activities and were able to share
their experiences, and
[3:50] and I know I benefited from it, and I
wasn't even one of them. So.
[3:55] The Elks are committed to building a
better community through their
[3:58] charitable work, and we could not do all
of these things without their charitable
[4:02] work. So, I would like to invite our
Elks members up to the front.
[4:08] » [applause]
[4:13] » And we just have this plaque as a little
plaque of appreciation for you and all
[4:18] the efforts you've done in the city. Um
I think we should get the council in the
[4:21] picture, too. So, if you guys
>> Do you want us to just stand up?
[4:24] » Yeah, that would be great.
Do we need
[4:26] » We can be behind them.
>> Our Elks are very appreciative of this.
[4:30] » Oh, let's go down there.
>> Do we want to slide over a little bit?
[4:35] We can squish.
Thanks. Thank you.
[4:47] There we go.
Nice try.
[4:52] » [clears throat]
[4:56] » Thank you.
Thank you.
[4:59] Thank you all.
[5:03] Thanks. [laughter]
Thank you. Appreciate you.
[5:07] They don't have anything to say cuz they
do. So, thank you. You do. Thank you.
[5:11] Thank you.
[5:24] » Okay, we'll move on to item four, which
is the public comment period. The public
[5:28] comment period is an opportunity for
residents to address the city council.
[5:32] Comments will be limited to no more than
3 minutes per person unless additional
[5:35] time is authorized by the governing
body.
[5:38] We ask that you state your name into the
mic and then you sign the paper by
[5:41] Shilo. The time is now the public's.
[5:51] » Seeing no one come forward, I will close
the public comment period.
[5:55] We'll move on to item five, which is
resolution 2026-52,
[5:59] a resolution of the Tooele City Council
approving a water certificate and land
[6:03] donation agreement with Oak OKOA Capital
LLC,
[6:08] Tooele 90 LLC, and the Tooele City Water
Special Service District for the
[6:12] acceptance of approximately 177.9
acres of real property and regulation of
[6:19] 161 acre feet of water rights credits
presented by Matthew Johnson, the city
[6:24] attorney.
>> Chairman, thank you, Council.
[6:28] Those longer titles give me more time to
get up here, so.
[6:32] Um
uh
[6:33] resolution uh 2026-52 is
uh for your consideration of a
[6:39] an agreement uh between the parties uh
the red the Tooele City the special
[6:46] water special service district uh OKOA
Capital and uh Tooele 90.
[6:52] Um this addresses a situation. I know
the Council is aware of this of this and
[6:56] of of the agreement already, but for the
public's benefit,
[7:00] um there is was a piece of property
There is a piece of property on the
[7:04] south side of town
uh near 1:00 Hill that um
[7:09] uh
uh
[7:10] a couple of things. One is it was it was
difficult um
[7:14] uh
to find anything appropriate for that
[7:17] particular piece of property. And on on
the other hand, there were some water
[7:22] right credits that were tied
specifically to this property. Um
[7:27] and um
uh uh kudos to the developer for
[7:31] reaching out to the city to to try to
find a creative solution.
[7:35] Uh I think this is a good one. This is a
agreement whereby
[7:39] um the title to the
property will actually go to the city.
[7:44] Um the use of the property will be
restricted to um
[7:48] uh purposes that are recreational,
municipal, or other public purpose,
[7:52] which
at least speaking for city staff, I
[7:55] think it's is appropriate anyway for
this particular property. Um
[8:00] and then
um
[8:03] the water rights that are currently tied
to this particular piece of property
[8:07] uh will
um
[8:10] uh that agreement will will be amended
by novation. Um and those water right
[8:15] credits will be able to be used. They
have to be used within the city, and
[8:19] then a certain portion has to be used in
a priority area that is kind of an
[8:23] infill area for the city where
I think it makes sense to encourage
[8:28] uh development because there's already
development surrounding and it just
[8:32] makes sense to fill in those other spots
rather than the more expensive places.
[8:35] So,
um
[8:37] I I think it is a win-win for the
parties and
[8:41] um
I'm happy to answer any questions. My
[8:44] understanding is we have representation
from the developer here as well if if
[8:48] you have any questions for them.
>> Okay, are there any questions or
[8:51] comments?
[8:56] Okay.
>> All right. Thank you.
[8:58] » I will entertain a motion.
[9:03] » Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion that we
accept resolution 2026-52,
[9:07] a resolution by Tooele City Council
approving a water certificate and land
[9:12] donation agreement with Oak OKOA Capital
LLC and Tooele 90 LLC in the Tooele City
[9:19] Water Special Service District for the
acceptance of approximately
[9:23] 177.9 acres of real property and
regulation of 161 acre-feet of water
[9:29] right credits.
>> I'll second.
[9:32] » We have a motion from Councilman Gossett
and a second from Councilman
[9:35] No, Councilwoman Gochis.
We'll take it to a vote. Councilman
[9:40] McCall.
>> Aye.
[9:41] » Councilman Hanson.
>> [clears throat]
[9:43] » Aye.
>> Councilwoman Gochis.
[9:47] » Aye.
>> Councilman Gossett.
[9:48] » Aye.
>> I'm Councilman Brady and [clears throat]
[9:50] I vote aye. That passes 5-0.
>> Council Chair, can I just say something?
[9:55] I would just like to express
appreciation to
[9:59] representatives for OKOA. I think they
came with a
[10:03] a difficult situation and we've made the
best of it and I appreciate that. I
[10:06] mean, the city kind of shot high
in the negotiations and I think we
[10:10] settled in a good place and in keeping
that water in the infill, some of the
[10:14] water in the infill is really beneficial
to the city as well as this open space.
[10:18] You know, we had this room packed with
people before saying they didn't want
[10:22] the development there and this will will
help. This is a a great thing for our
[10:27] city.
>> Thank you.
[10:30] Item six is resolution 2026-53,
a resolution of the Tooele City Council
[10:35] approving and ratifying an agreement
with Judge Netting Mountain West for the
[10:39] installation of golf course netting on
17 newly installed wooden poles at
[10:44] Oquirrh Hills Golf Course. Presented by
Darrel Cook, Cook, the Parks and
[10:48] Recreation Director.
>> Thank you, Council. Um
[10:51] a little background on this, as many of
you know, back in February,
[10:55] a storm went through Tooele
with some heavy wind that uh
[11:00] took out the entire east side of the
driving range.
[11:04] Uh between now and then, we have been
working with our insurance company
[11:09] to get that covered under our policy.
Uh they've agreed to cover a portion of
[11:15] that damage so that we could move
forward with the improvement on that.
[11:20] The Tooele City, we actually on our own
purchased the poles. We entered into a
[11:27] service agreement with Rocky Mountain
Power who installed the poles and the
[11:31] poles are actually ready to
uh now be uh uh netted. Uh we did send
[11:37] this out to bid. Uh
we had several contractors
[11:41] uh request the bid documents. Uh
unfortunately, or fortunately, I'm not
[11:45] sure which, uh we
only received one bid back from Judge
[11:50] Netting. Uh we have done work with them
before. They are a a very reputable
[11:54] vendor that we've actually uh used
before for our netting uh products.
[11:59] Uh in the amount of $92,930.
[12:04] Um in this agreement, they will uh they
have already come on to site. They have
[12:10] uh measured the
installed newly installed poles. Uh the
[12:14] net, uh just so you're so just so you
know, is made specifically to the
[12:19] location of where the poles are sitting.
So, they come measure the entire thing.
[12:23] They actually do it with the drone and
with some AI technology. And all the guy
[12:28] wires and everything are in
>> [clears throat]
[12:30] » they're built into the net as when they
manufacture the net. Um so, this
[12:34] resolution is actually to ratify a vote
that you have previously taken to
[12:39] approve this contract so that the vendor
could uh
[12:43] move forward with getting the net made.
It takes about 4 weeks uh before they'll
[12:47] have it here.
Their goal is to actually have this
[12:51] installed the first week of September.
We're really shooting to have the
[12:55] driving range back open on uh Labor Day
weekend. So.
[13:00] Uh any questions related to this?
Are there any questions or comments?
[13:06] I'll entertain a motion.
>> Mr. Chair, I move
[13:10] » [clears throat]
>> Mr. Chair, I make a motion
[13:12] that we approve resolution 2026-53.
A resolution of the Chula Vista City
[13:17] Council approving and ratifying an
agreement with the Judge Netting
[13:22] Mountain West for the installation
[clears throat] of golf
[13:25] of golf course netting and 17 newly
installed wooden posts at Oak Hills Golf
[13:31] Course.
>> I'll second it.
[13:34] » We have a motion from Councilman McColl
and a second from Councilman Gossett.
[13:37] We'll take it to a vote. Councilman
Gossett?
[13:40] » Uh I.
>> Councilwoman Gotchis?
[13:42] » I.
>> Councilman Hanson?
[13:46] » I.
>> Councilman McColl?
[13:48] » I.
>> And Councilman Brady and I vote I. That
[13:51] passes 5-0.
>> Thank you.
[13:52] » Thanks, Darwin.
Item seven is resolution 2026-54,
[13:57] a resolution of the Tualatin City
Council approving an agreement with
[14:00] LensLock, Inc. for police cameras, video
systems, cloud storage, software, and
[14:05] related services, presented by Adrian
Day, the police chief.
[14:09] » Thank you, Council. We have this system
currently.
[14:13] Uh it was a 5-year contract, I believe,
and we have a year and a half left,
[14:18] about.
Uh biggest complaint about this system
[14:22] is we were losing some recordings. They
have since fixed that problem with the
[14:26] current cameras we have. They've come
out with a new one.
[14:30] It's new and improved. It's more rugged.
Uh the battery Our biggest complaint is
[14:35] from patrol not lasting 12 hours. When
you go to charge one of these, that's
[14:39] when you need it. That's when you don't
have it. That's when something happens.
[14:43] This one has a two batteries that come
with it. It has a discharge station at
[14:48] the bottom. You can pop it out and put
one in, and then it'll continue
[14:51] recording for that 10 seconds. So, you
can charge while you're using it. We've
[14:55] been
We've tried one for several weeks, and
[14:59] it it does last longer, the single
battery. So, it it looks like a good
[15:03] improvement. The problem is we have to
do another
[15:06] 5-year contract, but
we're paying about 47,000
[15:13] a year. This one will be 55,
817, $55,817.
[15:19] So, there is an increase, but we are
getting more
[15:22] more cameras, too. So,
uh most of this
[15:29] I'm not paying anything currently out of
my budget. This is all coming from
[15:33] alcohol funds we're getting from the
state and uh grants.
[15:38] Uh we expect that to continue at least
with uh body worn cameras, not car ones.
[15:42] So, if there's any questions, I can take
them from you.
[15:46] » Okay, any questions or comments?
[15:51] Okay, I'll entertain a motion.
>> Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion that we
[15:54] approve resolution 2026-54,
a resolution of the Tooele City Council
[16:01] approving an agreement with LensLock
Incorporated for police cameras, video
[16:05] systems, cloud software storage,
and related services.
[16:10] » Second.
>> We have a motion from Councilwoman
[16:12] Gochis and a second from Councilman
McCall. We'll take it to a vote.
[16:15] Councilman McCall?
>> Aye.
[16:17] » Councilman Hansen?
>> Aye.
[16:19] » Councilwoman Gochis?
>> Aye.
[16:21] » Councilman Gossett?
>> Aye.
[16:22] » And Councilman Brady, and I vote aye. It
passes 5-0. Thanks, Chief.
[16:27] Item 8B, resolution 2026-56,
a resolution of the Tooele City Council
[16:32] approving an agreement with Holbrook
Asphalt Company for the application of
[16:36] HA5 high-density mineral bond pavement
preservation treatment to select Tooele
[16:42] City streets, presented by Nathan
Farris, the Public Works Director.
[16:46] » Thank you, Council. We have the
opportunity with this one to amend a
[16:49] little bit. Um we had a little bit of
money left over in our budget
[16:55] uh for this project. Um it's it
originally in uh intended to cover 1.2
[17:01] million square feet of roadway in our
city, which is a fantastic way to
[17:05] preserve that asphalt, making it sure it
lasts
[17:08] much longer than if we had left it
alone. Uh but we also had the
[17:11] opportunity the the contractor um is
proving a new technology for Tooele
[17:18] County south of us and offered to give
us a discount on um
[17:23] using a new new chip seal method that
involves some uh rubberized coating
[17:30] instead of the oil-based. And so
uh we took advantage of that opportunity
[17:34] and added
uh another
[17:37] $200,000 to this project, which does put
us over our budgeted amount, but we will
[17:40] make a budget adjustment from our road C
funds to cover that because we feel like
[17:44] this is an opportunity for us to test
this material at a discount and improve
[17:48] the roads that are next to Smith's
Marketplace. Um the new ones on 2400
[17:54] South uh and across the street there.
So, we're we're taking advantage of some
[17:59] good discounts and an opportunity to
make some roads better.
[18:03] Um and so, we're adding to this project.
It will uh have a total uh
[18:08] project cost
of $685,977.32.
[18:14] So, when um if you decide to pass this
resolution, we will need to amend the
[18:20] the the amount.
Um but this is a like I said, it we've
[18:25] seen some evidence of this being used in
some communities in Southern Utah and
[18:28] Arizona. It looks like it holds up
really well and provides a really stable
[18:34] surface for for the road. Um our our uh
salesman's very excited for the
[18:39] opportunity to prove it here and and
hopefully we can use it for many years
[18:42] to come.
[18:45] » Are there any questions or comments?
[18:49] Okay, I'll entertain a motion.
[18:52] » [cough and clears throat]
>> Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion that we
[18:55] accept uh resolution 2026-56.
Yeah, you knew I didn't hear that number
[19:00] all the way.
[19:03] Uh oh, I see it. Okay. A resolution the
Tooele City Council approving an
[19:07] agreement with Holbrook Asphalt Company
for the application of HA5 high-density
[19:12] mineral bond pavement preservation
treatment to select
[19:16] Tooele City streets with an updated
amount of $685,977.32.
[19:24] » I'll second.
>> We have a motion from Councilman Gossett
[19:27] and a second from Councilman McCall.
We'll take it to a vote. Councilman
[19:30] Gossett?

>> Item 9 is resolution 2026-57,
[19:45] a resolution of the Tooele City Council
approving an agreement with Broken Arrow
[19:49] Inc. for the installation of three
pavilions at Wigwam Park, presented by
[19:53] Darrel Cook, the Parks and Recreation
Director.
[19:56] » Thank you. Uh
So, uh back when we were completing
[20:00] England Acres, um we purchased some
awnings for England Acres and at the
[20:05] time we purchased those, our vendor
uh cautioned us that they were going to
[20:10] have a increase on them and when when he
mentioned that to us, we already at that
[20:16] time knew that we were going to purchase
these three for
[20:19] Wigwam. So, at that same time, when we
bought the ones for
[20:23] England Acres, we purchased the these
three for Wigwam
[20:27] uh for the Wigwam Park area. Uh at the
time when we purchased them, we weren't
[20:31] quite at the point to have them
installed. We're now at that uh point to
[20:36] have these installed, so uh we asked
both the vendor and the installer of the
[20:42] ones at England Acres to provide a bid
for us. Uh they both have installed
[20:46] these particular
uh awnings for or these pavilions for
[20:50] us. Uh
Broken Arrow responded with a proposal
[20:55] bid proposal of $34,638.04.
So, we selected them. The vendor's uh
[21:03] proposal was $50,000.
Um so, just asking for approval of this
[21:09] contract so that we can get those
installed. These are shade structures
[21:12] that are for individual use for picnic
tables. So, each one will also have a
[21:16] picnic table underneath them.
>> Nice. Is this your last project up there
[21:21] and then the
>> Oh,
[21:22] » No.
>> Oh, okay. Spoke too soon.
[21:25] » [laughter]
>> No.
[21:26] Or what is it?
>> Well, you've done a lot of great things
[21:28] up there.
>> And we're going to with this addition to
[21:32] our
our public space, we'll probably even
[21:35] have more
additions of connections and stuff
[21:37] between Wigwam and the property that was
just mentioned in the other resolution.
[21:42] So,
>> Well, it looks great up there. You've
[21:43] done a good job.
>> along nicely.
[21:46] » I rode there the other day. There's a
lot of trees.
[21:48] It's going to be a lot of shade up
there.
[21:50] » Yeah. Yeah, it'll be cool.
>> Nice.
[21:52] » Okay, I will entertain a motion.
>> Mr. Chair, I make a motion we approve

process of building our salt shed, we
[22:50] had some back and forth between with our
engineering firm trying to make sure we
[22:53] were getting the best value for what we
were asking for,
[22:56] um, which caused them to do quite a bit
more work. And so, we're asking for this
[22:59] change order to compensate them for the
work that they did to help us in the
[23:03] process of understanding what exactly we
did need for site um
[23:08] uh
stormwater retention and detention
[23:11] systems. It turns out because we are in
our
[23:15] uh well
uh protection zone, we did need to have
[23:18] a more extensive system and so it it is
a required uh expense.
[23:23] » Okay, any questions or comments?
I'll entertain a motion.
[23:29] Mr.
>> Sure, I'll make a motion that we accept
[23:32] resolution 2026-58,
a resolution to the city council
[23:36] approving change order number one to the
amendment with Nelson Brothers
[23:40] Construction Company for the site
improvements related to construction of
[23:44] the station building. [clears throat]
>> I'll second.
[23:46] » With a motion from Councilman Gossett
and a second from Councilwoman Gochis,
[23:50] we'll take to a vote. Councilman
Gossett?
[23:52] » Aye.
>> Councilwoman Gochis?
[23:53] » Aye.
>> Councilman Hanson?
[23:56] » Aye.
>> Councilman McCall?
[23:58] » Aye.
>> And Councilman Brady and I vote aye.
[24:01] That passes 5-0.
Item 11 is resolution 2026-59,
[24:06] a resolution of the Tooele City Council
approving an agreement with Hales
[24:10] Engineering for an update of the Tooele
City Transportation Master Plan
[24:13] presented by Nathan Fowlers, the Public
Works Director.
[24:16] » Uh Council uh
Mayor referred to a couple of meetings
[24:19] we've had with UDOT recently and uh with
the rapid growth of our county and city
[24:25] recently, we feel it's in time to update
our transportation master plan and get a
[24:30] look at where our biggest needs are as
far as roads and other facilities and so
[24:36] we've asked uh Hales Engineering to
conduct a transportation master plan
[24:41] study and bring those results to us.
Um this will come from our road C fund
[24:47] and
uh help us to as we go back to UDOT, um
[24:51] help them to understand what our needs
and our challenges are um and and do so
[24:56] from a more data driven uh standpoint.
>> When they do this study that
[25:02] I'm sure they look at like the county
transportation plan, right? And where
[25:05] they're going to
>> plan connection.
[25:07] » Yeah, it's more it's it does take into
account where the traffic is coming from
[25:11] and where it's going. And so there will
be not just within the city limits.
[25:15] They'll be looking at where where the
the the impetus for the for the travel
[25:19] comes from and how it's getting through
the city and two different points in the
[25:23] city. So we're hopeful that as we do
this study, it gives us more ability to
[25:28] to kind of fight for what we need as
UDOT brings more um high high uh ar- uh
[25:34] arterial roads through and gives us
access to those roadways so we can
[25:38] transport people within the city better.
Okay. Great.
[25:43] » Are there any other questions or
comments?
[25:47] » How was the study conducted?
[25:50] » That's a good question. So um for
this is my first one, so I don't know
[25:54] for sure, but a lot of it will be
traffic counts.
[25:57] Um
they'll count traffic at different
[26:00] intersections, I'm assuming. It possibly
would be
[26:04] I I don't know if they would use any
video surveillance or
[26:08] Paul, have you ever
been a part of a traffic study before?
[26:11] » A couple of times.
>> Okay.
[26:13] » [laughter]
[26:18] » This master plan study is it does
involve some traffic counting, but it's
[26:22] primarily driven looking at land use
currently
[26:25] based on what the demand is for traffic
with homes and businesses and
[26:29] residential,
but also looking into the future.
[26:33] Where is the direction going? We We now
have a little more clear picture about
[26:37] the whole northwest quadrant of the
city. Here to for it's just been open
[26:41] space zoned, nothing specific.
So the study will look at current and
[26:46] planned and future plan zoning. They
will do traffic counting. They will look
[26:50] at don't densities and zoning and
and talk with the city about future
[26:55] growth plans. We'll involve economic
development administration to help
[26:59] provide guidance for there so that it
can become a document that
[27:03] looks beyond just today, but
10, 15, 20, 50 years into the future.
[27:12] » Thank you, Paul.
Okay, I will entertain a motion.
[27:17] » Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to approve

[28:14] administration and construction costs.
They will be the ones to manage the
[28:19] projects going forward that will upgrade
our solar dryer and our UV disinfection
[28:26] system. And so this is just the
cost for them to be doing the work on
[28:31] our $8 million
sewer treatment plant
[28:34] sewer treatment plant
project. Uh we are going to add this to
[28:39] the municipal bond, so it'll be a rolled

[28:43] um
and come out of that fund. So.

[29:58] Director.
>> one, I promise.
[30:00] Um
we
[30:01] » [clears throat]
>> we had looked into renting these
[30:04] machines, but we figured by the time we
get everything upgraded the way we'd
[30:08] like it to be, we might as well just buy
them outright and have them.
[30:11] Uh we then can use them as backups if we
need to in the future.
[30:15] Uh and we felt like the price was right,
and we at first thought we would be able
[30:20] to install them, but then figured with
the with the uh the technical expertise
[30:24] required, we would have Misco actually
install them for us and teach us how so
[30:29] that in the future if we needed to pull
them in or or put them in or take them
[30:32] out, we could do so on our own. So,
um this this one will will be a
[30:37] uh
$81,000 and come out of the facilities
[30:42] maintenance fund. So.
>> Any questions or comments?
[30:48] » And John can still flush his toilet.
