[0:13] [clears throat]
[0:16] All right, we'll start with the pledge.
I pledge algiance to the flag of the
[0:22] United States of America and to the
republic for it stands. One nation under
[0:28] God, indivisible with liberty and
justice for all.
[0:37] » Roll call. Daniel Blanket
>> presa
[0:42] Welsh Mega Dean all present.
We'll start with uh approval of minutes
[0:51] from the August 11th, 2026 regular
meeting.
[1:14] » I'll make a motion to Approve the
minutes for office 1126
[1:19] recommendations.
[clears throat]
[1:22] » Daniel Leip makes a motion to approve
the minutes.
[1:27] » Megan Deckman seconds. All in favor?
>> I approve.
[1:32] » Board of officers and employees
start with the fire department. Mr.
[1:48] his is going to be in your email.
>> So you got a contract
[1:52] » not in there because I forgot about it.
that Bridget sent out that is for the
[1:58] baby box.
Um, from what I gather Chris started, we
[2:06] have to accept that and sign that or
everything will start
[2:13] happening. So then money contract comes
all that he said they run it just like
[2:21] any other have to do. I get three bids.
The contract is coming to do it.
[2:27] Um, but what I he just told me on the
phone that sign is not obligated us for
[2:34] money
like a monthly thing going for money. It
[2:39] just gets the wheels rolling for
[2:48] your ammo.
[3:06] It was 16,500
>> and then the only
[3:12] said
the way you're supposed to go
[3:16] to pay camera since [clears throat] our
state
[3:20] has to pay
box that
[3:25] specialist.
[3:34] » What's the yearly fee?
>> 500
[3:38] give or take the quote for sure. That's
what he was saying. It might be in that
[3:41] paper. So 600,
[3:53] but that's also all there's kind of
rules to go along with this,
[4:11] which we could probably delivery fee. We
pick it up ourselves
[4:15] all that.
>> Where's it at?
[4:20] » Oh, the 600 was the delivery fee.
>> So, the other one's probably a month
[4:28] like you said.
>> So, annual fee 600
[4:33] term renewal 600.
[clears throat and cough]
[4:35] » We're not looking at the same payment.
I'm looking at the email, the actual
[4:40] email. Oh, never mind.
[4:50] » And the annual alarm service annual fee
monitoring is $300 annual based on
[4:54] location.
[5:51] » [clears throat]
[6:50] » He said if you want to look at it more
[6:56] but obviously table
[7:00] that way you can read I know
[7:11] we have to take a different policy for
this. I would venture to say what must
[7:17] our medical
[7:22] insurance liability now what malpractice
[7:27] » I don't think it's malpractice but yeah
something like
[7:46] No.
[8:23] I need to find my stuff. Let's get it.
>> Um, click on that.
[8:27] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. Click on that.
[8:37] » Council.
[8:41] » You don't have
[8:51] Hit
that button.
[9:02] » Who's your loser before?
>> Do you have yours on?
[9:09] » That has to be on.
[9:22] So I need to remember afterwards and get
the password.
[9:35] So they must not
[9:56] do
[10:01] motion.
[10:13] Dustin Reese makes a motion to grant a
sign the safe haven baby box contract.
[10:29] Teresa Lo seconds.
[10:33] » All in favor?
>> I
[10:36] » I
>> approved.
[10:42] » Thank you, Chief. Nie,
[10:46] » David Water.
>> Nothing. Thank you.
[10:52] » Bruce sewer.
[11:01] says [clears throat] you're connected.
>> So you guys should have a quote from ECC
[11:07] contracting.
>> You are now
[11:10] » out there on
[11:15] » clean.
[11:19] Most of the pipes are actually under the
dirt
[11:24] about two feet.
[11:28] All right. EC and coolies come out cool
with the sunshine ECC right now. Go off
[11:34] of is a quote for 3700 to jet covers
approximately 300 ft and TV a 15inch
[11:43] line. All those at the very end go to a
15inch line. We're not sure where it
[11:48] goes any maps. So we need to make sure
it's not connected to the system. It's
[11:53] in line with the manhole that manhole is
in clay.
[11:58] So we don't think it drop 15, but we're
also not sure where else
[12:04] we're going to get it. See where it
goes.
[12:13] So I just want to get approval for the
3700 for DCC to it out Jason and I will
[12:20] help take it out. So all is generally
[12:36] » yeah make sure the clear lines that
cross
[12:42] right there from there one by there's
one by rand and there's one at ox city
[12:50] area they have that across the street
that
[12:55] go
[13:02] over
there.
[13:16] Pre Welsh makes a motion to approve the
$37 million for ECC for the jetting.
[13:25] » Megan Delman seconds. All in favor? I
approve.
[13:31] » That's it. Bruce.
[13:36] » Okay, Eric.
>> Nothing. Jason. Nothing.
[13:45] I don't have nobody. I don't have
anything. I don't think
[13:49] » Chief Chief Dudley.
>> I seen him back there. I was looking
[14:01] back in the back.
[14:05] » Nothing.
[14:13] getting away with that easy.
[clears throat]
[14:17] » So the community like
[14:25] I don't know to investigate it figure
out what's going on but like people are
[14:30] cooking and not up and the bathrooms are
getting bad again. I don't know what's
[14:37] happening. It was just the men's, not
the women's, too.
[14:56] » No, he's not. He had baseball coach.
>> We don't have anything. I don't I don't
[15:03] know what's happened, but you guys are
close enough. There's somebody coming
[15:08] in. I don't know.
[15:25] » Anybody else?
[laughter]
[15:28] [clears throat] I'm gonna wait to get
what I'll have done.
[15:32] Nothing. Thank you.
[15:37] [clears throat]
[15:40] » Okay.
Standing committee. Oh, Bridget.
[15:44] » Nothing. Standing committees.
[15:56] I just need another
>> Can you give us your name for the river?
[16:01] » I need another road closure for gas on
the 19th. Um
[16:08] long from Paris
to church from 7:30
[16:17] p.m. to 900 p.m.
[16:34] » Theresa Walsh makes a motion to approve.
>> Megan Deman second. All in favor?
[16:40] » I opposed.
>> Approved.
[16:44] » Thanks guys. Thank you.
[16:51] Okay, let's go to unfinished business.
Commonwealth Engineers Water Project.
[17:04] » I don't have much of an update on the
water project. Um I don't have much of
[17:08] an update on wastewater project either.
You should have got one. I know.
[17:15] email item today.
They
[17:19] they chose to view the PD as a update to
the compiance plan which is fine. This
[17:24] has to have some changes made to it. So
regular 13 looking into it.
[17:30] » Is that what you said?
>> Would you do me a favor?
[17:34] » Would you make sure they get sent those
to me?
[17:37] » You should have it. I forwarded it. I
thought I forwarded it to everybody.
[17:39] » Oh, I thought Daniel got it. I didn't
see it. Daniel was in there initially,
[17:42] but I'm pretty sure. Did anybody
everybody else get it?
[17:52] » Well, then I meant to forward it to you
this morning.
[17:54] » Yeah,
>> they may have your email on
[17:57] » as long as you're getting it to Bridget.
She
[17:59] » I think I may have just sent it to
Brucey
[18:02] » now that I think about it. I think I
looked and Brucey wasn't on there. I got
[18:06] distracted. Today was distraction day.
I'll send it to you.
[18:17] The the one thing I did want to talk
about was on the lead service line
[18:21] project. So we submitted that you'll
remember
[18:26] earlier this year to see if there was
money available. We did come back with
[18:32] an offer 50% grant 50% zero interest
loan on whatever end result looks like.
[18:40] So uh we coordinated with your great
consultant on projects for Sean. He put
[18:46] together some options, testing
discussion points for your
[18:50] consideration. The next step if this
project is going to move forward service
[18:55] line is to let iPad know yes, we're
interested in continuing and then move
[19:02] forward figuring out what size project
we want to move forward with and get
[19:06] under
[19:10] But so John's got more info and and
details on that what that offer means,
[19:16] but I'm here for questions and service.
[19:23] Sean Klein here financial group. So
yeah, my purpose here tonight is to talk
[19:29] about the the SRF offer that you're
receiving and uh and decide uh to what
[19:35] degree you want to move forward with.
And so I'll just kind of rewind a little
[19:39] bit. So for fiscal year 2027 SRF, this
is the last year of the land service
[19:45] lines funded funds that they have with
the byproducts of infrastructure. So
[19:51] this is the last of five years
in this you guys applied. We did asset
[19:56] management plan and all that due April
1. The request that we had was $5
[20:01] million. That that was how we
characterized the need for the town. And
[20:05] the SRF came back and said, "Yes, we're
gonna fund that whole $5 million need.
[20:10] We're gonna find we're gonna fund $2.5
million worth of grants. Don't don't
[20:16] have to pay."
And then $2.5 million 0% loans. Now,
[20:22] they also implicit in that said if you
don't need $5 million,
[20:29] $3 million, we can quote rightize it for
your project. Of course, talking to the
[20:35] engineer, we don't know what the scope
of that project is for yet. So, that's
[20:40] something that's one factor for us to
think about is what to what degree we
[20:44] want to keep the $5 million on the
table. Do we want to parse it down and
[20:48] say, you know, we want to take a little
bit now, a little bit later. I know
[20:53] you're in here. We met so far. We've met
a couple times. Last Friday, I didn't
[20:57] think I could make it up tonight, so I
came last Friday with maybe a good
[21:01] conversation. Um
was saying
[21:06] we're not sure. We're not sure what we
need. My advice was if you're not sure
[21:13] options open to you until you kind of
get this bid out and then you know what
[21:17] you're dealing with
if you want to proceed. So if you choose
[21:21] to proceed, you might want to proceed
with you know all options because I
[21:26] think you got to do this within 10
years. Is that the is that the
[21:30] regulation? Yeah, it's part of the EPA
model. So there's 10 years to identify
[21:35] material service lines. This is the
water service line to each person's home
[21:41] and then if it's lead or galvanized
material that needs to be replaced
[21:46] within 10 years. So this funding package
would cover identifying it, having your
[21:52] contractor come or look at it, probably
choose to have them identify it and then
[21:57] do the replacements.
Level two
[22:00] » [clears throat]
>> Okay.
[22:05] » Yeah. And then I think you got to do 10%
per year or something like that.
[22:08] » Yeah. Starting in 2027,
you EPA's rule is you're supposed to
[22:13] replace 10% of the per year. The tricky
thing is if you don't know how many you
[22:18] have, you don't know how many that is
going to be. But in the pupil that write
[22:24] the laws mine 10% per year will be 100%
completion at the end of
[22:31] this option would be to do as much as we
can now with this grant money and
[22:35] hopefully it's all of it and it takes
care of it. You don't have to do another
[22:39] project in the subsequent
[22:49] meter to the house. It's both sides of
the meter. So it's from the water
[22:56] » in town. Yeah. Everybody
wasn't a part of the water.
[23:02] So it covers both sides from water man
and meter all the way to
[23:12] » So when we did the uh water project did
keep tabs on how many of you found that
[23:19] were
>> Yes.
[23:21] » And was there only like three?
>> Yes.
[23:25] » Three out of how many homes?
>> There were three lead lines. There were
[23:30] significantly more gallons.
>> So that's a little bit of a gray area
[23:35] and now we kind of
>> but they've been replaced.
[23:38] » The ones on the private
>> on our side.
[23:41] » Yeah. So the ones on the private side
are still there.
[23:43] » Yes.
>> I think there may only be one or two
[23:45] lead lines that we know of in the
private area.
[23:50] So if that continues and keeps, you
know, and that's reflective of the whole
[23:55] town, it may not be a 5 million maybe
significant less. Right now, what we're
[24:02] looking at is we just don't know
until you can look and see what those
[24:07] lines are made of.
There's no way to know.
[24:13] » We recognize we don't have to mess with
those. I mean, we know where they are.
[24:18] So we're only looking at covering the
area that we have not changed the line.
[24:22] » So we would go we would do the private
side ones. So in the project area we
[24:28] know they're lead
>> the three
[24:31] » if the galvanized lines are classified
as required.
[24:37] Those would qualify for replacement
under this project as well. Then it
[24:41] would be everybody outside of the
project.
[24:46] So how how typically we've been doing
these projects is when we some build up
[24:51] front or we knock on front doors, we
talk to people if we can see where the
[24:55] service line comes into their home,
we'll inspect it there. If not, we can
[24:59] look at the pits. Sometimes that's not
really representative of what's in the
[25:03] ground. Um so then during the
construction, the contractor come out
[25:07] and pop [clears throat] all the service
lines, but we don't know at that time.
[25:12] And that's really the best way to tell
that that material looks the same.
[25:17] » If you remember, we did the
questionnaire,
[25:19] » but we hardly got any back in comparison
to what we should have got back.
[25:23] » And a lot of people miscatate
because if it's a metal line, it's hard
[25:28] to tell. If they say it's lead, it may
[25:34] even tarnishes. you know, is unless
you're a trained person who knows how to
[25:41] test these pipes, it's hard to tell the
difference in some of these, especially
[25:44] if you're just looking in your crawl
space.
[25:49] » So, [snorts] what about that?
[25:54] If it's not connected to your system,
[26:05] if they have a service line, even if
it's shut off or the home's abandoned,
[26:11] but they're still connected to the water
man, it needs to be included in the town
[26:18] inventory.
And these are the letters that get sent
[26:22] out every year.
Novemberish
[26:27] letters have to go out.
[26:34] Soon as those are replaced or verified,
the letters have to stop
[26:39] people.
[26:45] So with that as kind of trying to scope
in the project I think I think that's a
[26:50] really important discussion to talk
about that scope the question is what's
[26:55] the impact financially
and so and again we can always come back
[27:00] to the scope project but if we start
with the the most aggressive approach if
[27:06] you did accept the $5 million offer and
you have to pay that $2.5 million back
[27:11] over 20 years at 0%.
So what we did is we did a rate study
[27:16] and we said where are you currently at?
Where are you currently at today? We
[27:20] would recommend a 17% rate increase.
This is at 4,000 gallons.
[27:26] So we recommend 17%. Last year you were
a little bit negative but I would
[27:32] essentially call you kind of break even
last year require 10% coverage which
[27:38] means I need I need my revenue
requirements and then I need when we do
[27:43] SRF we're going to have to do what's
called par with SRF and that 10% goes to
[27:48] 25%.
So that's another factor that kind of
[27:52] drives a little bit.
But that 17% we would recommend right
[27:57] now. And then for the loan itself for
the 2.5 we recommend 10%. So and the
[28:04] reason I want to break those up is
because if you wanted to right size this
[28:07] project
just remember it's 10% for $5 million.
[28:13] So if you wanted to only do 2.5 million
then that 10% would be 5%. And so you
[28:19] can proportion it like that. Pretty
straightforward.
[28:23] Does that make sense?
[28:30] And again wanted to hold five million.
If you wanted to dial something back, we
[28:35] would dial back from from that 10% of
proportion. So you think about for every
[28:41] million you cut back there be a 2% drop
on the re
[28:47] » but your recommendation is 27%. total if
you take the five million that is that
[28:52] is the the biggest
if you had $5 million now the
[28:58] conversation about
if you think it's a bit more
[29:01] conservative
[29:05] we want to
>> but that's also why I was asking
[29:10] what's
[29:17] » this is the last
[29:22] I met a couple weeks ago and they said,
"Oh, legis."
[29:29] And I said, "So, you have funding?" He
said, "No, we do not have funding for it
[29:32] yet." It'll either be funds that they
will allocate and send to us. So,
[29:36] they'll tell us take our current funds,
div them up, and allocate a certain
[29:40] portion to lead service. But as it
stands today, we have no led service
[29:47] line.
So I just want to make sure you aware of
[29:52] that too.
and write that message. No,
[29:57] » I think the the offer letter or email
that came from IFA kind of the next step
[30:02] is just if we're going to move forward,
let the IFA know and then release it
[30:07] together and put together what scope or
size project the town's comfortable
[30:11] proceeding with and we get started on
design and then the next thing the SRS
[30:16] needs to see is the project goes to bid,
we get bids in and we a little bit. So,
[30:23] it's kind of right now we're just in the
do we want to proceed given this 15%
[30:30] grant that there's offered um or you
know are we going to try to do this at
[30:37] some other level which as of right now
I'm not really aware of the grant out
[30:43] there
[30:48] » when do they want the response by
>> they didn't tell me when they didn't
[30:51] respond I didn't think I'd seen
>> butine
[30:57] if we decide to to proceed closing would
be in what they call their fourth fiscal
[31:02] quarter which would be January,
February, March 3rd. So it be April, May
[31:07] or June somewhere this next April, May
closing time.
[31:11] » So we have to have bids in hand before
that
[31:15] meaning this winter we need this fall
winter we need to be designing and
[31:20] bidding the project. those enhance by
what March.
[31:23] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. And right now what SRF is
[31:26] requesting is if a community wants to
move forward, please let us know. We'll
[31:30] allocate those funds for them. We'll put
it aside. We'll give a closing date in
[31:35] that fourth quarter. If they don't want
to move forward, that's okay, too. Just
[31:39] let us know so we can reallocate those
funds to another.
[31:49] I think
I think hedge your number a little bit
[31:54] higher and then when your bids come in
you can battle it back. Again, if you
[31:57] don't want to proceed with five minutes,
that's okay. If you want to proceed with
[32:00] a one minute, I mean, you can do that's
well within your your preview as well.
[32:04] You can select whatever number that's
what Rachel's here with us to kind of
[32:09] say what do we think this scope is like
based on your prior work.
[32:15] » And your understanding is they would
keep that 50%. Yes, it will always they
[32:20] call it right size. So if you decide to
go to million
[32:26] billion%
>> they'll always keep that proportion.
[32:31] » I know you're new with dealing with
this. Okay. So I just want to I mean I
[32:35] know we got to get this thing moving at
some point in time but you know one of
[32:39] the biggest problems we have uh and our
residents have is we went 30 years
[32:44] without a rate increase in this town.
So, now that we've fixed some sewer
[32:49] problems and had to go out and borrow
$30 million, um, now that we've done
[32:53] other things that we've needed to get
done with these line replacements, etc.
[32:59] You know, our water, they call it the
water bill. It's a utility. It is not
[33:03] the cheapest round. It's not the highest
either, but it's not the cheapest, but
[33:06] now you're tell%
increase. I would have a catastrophic
[33:13] event happen in this town with a 27%
increase. So
[33:19] » we still have to do this.
>> That Yeah, that's the other part. We
[33:22] still got to get it done within the next
10 years.
[33:25] » And uh so I hate to give away free
money. So I think if there's no time
[33:30] thing you could give us all
>> at least till next month where we can
[33:35] run through some numbers all kind of you
know grab each other and talk.
[33:39] » Sure. I It's not that we actually have
decision tonight.
[33:42] » Sure. I mean there's there's a lot of
things you got to balance. There's a lot
[33:45] of kind of things you got to weigh you
know maybe some more inepth
[33:48] conversations about prior projects get
arms around the scope
[33:53] know that we will have a definitive
answer for them next month or whatever
[33:59] you guys think.
But what they're looking for is like if
[34:04] you don't want it please let us know so
we can help.
[34:08] » Well I think I mean I'm just talking out
loud. I'm not talking for everybody. I'm
[34:12] talking for myself, but I don't want to
give up any free money [clears throat]
[34:14] to help skip the project. I just don't
know how big one we want. That's my
[34:19] opinion.
[34:22] » And they're they're willing to give us
50% free. thing. But right now, you
[34:27] know, one of the biggest things are
happening with all the tax law changes,
[34:30] um, is we're looking at a huge cut in
our annual income, which we only get
[34:35] 700,000 a year now, but it looks like
we're going to right now the proposals
[34:39] that are out there, we're going to be
shorted about $70,000.
[34:42] So, now to add another payment to a
budget that we already have streped. It
[34:46] took us six meetings last time to get it
to to balance. Um, and talking about
[34:51] adding another payment, we just have to
look at some things.
[34:53] » Sure. Sure. Just remember SEA1 those tax
changes that are that are coming those
[34:59] tax changes don't impact your utilities.
Utilities are referred to as enterprise
[35:03] funds. So they kind of stand alone in
their
[35:08] so yeah there's a there's a lot of
changes coming
[35:13] and and that we get we get involved with
those. We we do a lot of tip analysis a
[35:18] lot organizations. So yeah we see a lot
of those coming down. One of the things
[35:22] I try to let council know is thus far
they haven't really hit the utilities.
[35:29] » Well, one of our biggest problems or not
problems but things we've had to deal
[35:33] with here as recent is we've had to do a
lot of work. We just had to put in a new
[35:36] well. Um so, you know, you're talking
about looking at our water and I know
[35:41] everything's supposed to be
self-sufficient there, but um it's been
[35:44] tight right now just because we've had
to spend a lot of money that we just
[35:47] didn't plan on.
>> Yeah. Uh so anything that we we were
[35:50] ahead on is as David can contest um well
now we don't have any funds sitting over
[35:57] there because we had to use them but we
can't not have a well either. So um and
[36:02] you know it ain't like we got 13 wells.
So we start getting one of them's not
[36:06] working it's it's a priority for us. We
were lucky enough to come up with some
[36:11] imagination on not having to build a new
building and everything else to get it
[36:16] done, but it still cost us money that we
were not anticipating.
[36:21] So, David's fund does not look too good
right now.
[36:24] » We're search
[36:28] Bruce.
[36:34] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. Like when we go to bid just for
[36:40] the sake of let's say you set
you go out the bid the bid come back at
[36:45] $2 million you $2 million.
So you could right then and then that
[36:51] too would be against. So that's that's
back to that right side of the community
[36:57] based on
[37:03] the rest.
[37:08] » Yeah. It just would be nice to know how
many it'd really be horrible to spend
[37:13] three months.
>> How quick will you know the product as
[37:16] far as what it should
>> if we wanted to do everything it would
[37:22] do what we put in the report that
includes pot holding everything. We made
[37:27] an assumption of how many would be
replaced until we know the material was
[37:32] in the ground. We won't know how many
replaced. So I know um we talked about
[37:38] talking about looking pits and possibly
homeowners to see if we can do interior
[37:43] inspections.
That's one step. The other option, like
[37:46] I said, is have the contractor come out,
helpful, see what it is, and then we
[37:51] know exactly.
[37:55] So, really, we won't know. There's no
way to know what's in the ground until
[37:58] we look at
>> unless there's some old town records
[38:02] that I haven't seen that show materials.
And if we had some, guess what? It
[38:08] wouldn't be accurate anyway. Our lines
aren't even accurate. I mean, now
[38:12] they're now the new ones are, but you've
seen the old maps.
[38:15] » The good thing is we know
are in the project. So, we know the
[38:20] town. And I think when we wrote the
report,
[38:22] » how many homes are in the project area?
Do you remember?
[38:27] » I know. I'm
>> What project area?
[38:30] » The water lines. The ones we just did.
one that we just done,
[38:34] » not this new project.
>> No,
[38:36] » we don't even know what that project is
yet. Correct.
[38:40] » Now, we do know it's ones we haven't
done.
[38:42] » Yeah, it could be the whole town,
>> the whole water system, I should say.
[38:48] » So, I know we know for sure there are
three lead lines, two on the private
[38:52] side, one on the town side. Um, and 11 I
show 11 gallon lines on the town side
[39:00] and 24 on the private side. My guess is
those are in the project area. We also
[39:04] have 142 steel lines which we need to
confirm if those are galvanized prime
[39:11] replacement or not. And then roughly
300 to 400 that just
[39:24] I have a total of
317 unknown on the town side. We do have
[39:31] a good chunk that we know are not lead.
So I have almost 400 that we know are
[39:34] not. So that's good.
[39:39] » Total total is what
350 properties.
[39:45] I think I estimated that.
>> But that was in the last project, right?
[39:50] » No, this is this is good.
>> Yeah.
[39:52] » So that takes that takes the project
area and those flyers that some people
[39:56] did turn in.
>> Yep. is what that's made out of.
[40:00] » But what I'm what I'm asking is
[40:05] the last project
>> we should know because we have the
[40:09] records.
>> We do and that's in here,
[40:10] » right? So, how many homes was that? Do
you have any idea?
[40:13] » Okay. I'm trying to figure out how many
homes are left to be checked.
[40:18] » There's only 500 develop.
>> We've roughly got about 650 some meters
[40:22] in town.
>> 650.
[40:26] » Yeah.
300 out
[40:32] » and Rachel's trying to give you an idea
about the timeline. I just do a quick
[40:36] refresh on that. If the council says
they want to move forward with whatever
[40:41] degree project, one of the next steps is
we'll have to bring bond council on
[40:46] board. That's kind of the attorneys. I
don't know if you have a preference or
[40:49] if you'd like us to make a
recommendation, we'll be happy to do
[40:52] that. Uh but then it would be bond we
bring bond council on the board then we
[40:57] would bond council of course when chor
is involved right we do that because we
[41:01] got a lot of this legally we got so we
have a bond ordinance implement
[41:07] authorize us for longterm financing also
authorize us for shortterm financing
[41:15] one things Rachel alluded to is you know
to get ready to go to bid before closing
[41:20] they need funds to pay for that ing work
up front and and that'll be covered in a
[41:26] long-term closing, but usually we would
call a lot of anticipation early on to
[41:31] get that engineering work going so they
go out the bid and they get those bid
[41:35] facts and see what that scope works.
So we have a bond council, we have an
[41:41] ordinance, we have a discussion about a
bond anticipation note.
[41:46] All those things tend to take a little
bit of time and you know kind of what
[41:52] you know I'm sure you want to get
started if you [clears throat] authorize
[41:55] this project. So just some of those
things are in front of us to think about
[42:00] not meant to rush it just meant to to
kind of paint a picture for you.
[42:04] » And I'm hoping I I can come back to talk
more about it. Talk about the scope and
[42:09] kind of what has to be done with certain
deadlines and all that. We just wanted
[42:13] to give you updates tonight that we do
have an offer which is great. It's a
[42:18] great offer
and give you something to think about.
[42:25] » And I can be I can be contacted. I know
several members of council. I think I
[42:29] tried to email last Friday when I came
up for a meeting. So if you don't have
[42:34] my contact information, I'm sure you
have as well. But if you got questions,
[42:38] you can call me. If you got questions
about SEI1, you can call me and ask
[42:43] about those, too. I'll give you my I'll
give you my opinions on that, too. Any
[42:52] other questions I can answer?
[42:58] » You want to think
a date on when you might be able to get
[43:01] a response?
>> I I think I think you give us till next
[43:06] month when we have to all time all of us
have time to talk.
[43:11] » I think that's correct.
>> It's a slow process since we can't just
[43:14] go sit together and talk. I mean, we'll
>> yeah,
[43:16] » we'll do some one ons and have some
conversations, but
[43:19] » I'll let know that it's under
consideration by next council meeting
[43:24] like this. So, we won't stone. We'll
stay.
[43:30] » Thank you very much.
>> Thank you.
[43:33] [clears throat]
[43:39] » Absolutely.
>> You guys have that I didn't realize you
[43:41] did.
I just got up this morning a quote for
[43:46] cellular degree meters and I didn't
really want to push it just yet because
[43:50] I want this is what we want. This is
what we're going to have to go to
[43:55] eventually. Uh it's not I still keep
everything analog
[44:02] there still has to be communication
[clears throat]
[44:04] between the two wells at the river plant
system
[44:11] » and that system is paying.
Now, we can redo that system, but it's
[44:17] going to be around $6,000 to redo that
and those money into the old outdated
[44:24] system when we could go sell your
[44:31] I don't know if any
director said that we in through the
[44:35] trees and the woods back there. That's
pretty embarrassing. That's what they
[44:40] have to do. But this way, eliminate all
that.
[44:45] And it would be much much more
beneficial for the SK system. That way
[44:51] we could program it to for the cellular
part to my plant and it could give us a
[44:58] daily usage and all that all that.
>> So are you looking into this D?
[45:05] » Well, yes. That's what that that's just
for one
[45:10] new cellular meter. Uh that is
everything that makes that work and
[45:16] program by states.
>> And you'll need how many of those?
[45:22] » How many do you need?
>> Yes.
[45:27] » How many you need? [clears throat]
>> We're going to have four wells.
[45:30] » One for each well.
So,
[45:36] uh, Rachel also mentioned that there was
money left over
[45:42] possibly USDA
[45:51] [clears throat]
[45:55] » communications.
[45:58] It
>> wasn't that long ago we were having
[46:00] problems with it either or what, five,
six years ago probably we were having
[46:05] problems with that community
at least once a week.
[46:14] » I think it was right when I came on the
board there was I just heard the tail
[46:18] end. They were having problems and do
something
[46:25] Joe
some of that stuff like HG or something.
[46:29] » Yeah.
[46:34] » It was a long time ago, but they were
having issues with it.
[46:49] » Which which network do they use?
>> Which network do they use?
[46:56] to my knowledge. I mean, I don't know. I
mean, I I hear people say different
[47:00] things on who gets best reception around
here, but it' be nice to check see who
[47:04] they use to see who Let's find some
people with using that same
[47:09] » possibly, you know, like us whatever
>> maybe. Okay.
[47:18] Well, I know since we've had the tower
down here on the north end of town, it's
[47:22] been a world of difference,
>> but I'm not really asking for anything.
[47:26] I just want to explain that
[47:31] we're going to have
should have been done years
[47:39] a
[47:43] five to update. So let's see what we
don't have left in
[47:46] » there.
[47:56] » But 10 five we should have that left in
this thing. So I mean we should be able
[48:00] to cover it through the project
>> times four
[48:03] » times four.
>> No that's it's 2650 each or 2640 each.
[48:09] Was it 2640?
>> It was 10 each. Right. It's
[48:14] » 106.
>> I thought you said 2640.
[48:22] » I know how many wells we got. I just
thought he said 2640. Thank you. 10,000.
[48:28] » How much are we?
[48:32] » Not 40,000.
>> No, I mean we have close to 20.
[48:34] » Yeah.
>> Why is it not going towards
[48:40] » We're working on that. So, they did the
paving. They There are two or three
[48:45] intersections they were supposed to do,
but they did not do. And now they can't
[48:51] fit us in their schedule for the rest of
this year. So, we talked about the
[48:55] option of
they'll give us a credit back and I
[48:59] think the credit is close to 17,000.
Well, I think we need to have them come
[49:03] and look at the road the county put in
here on Avenue because if you look at
[49:08] their, excuse my language, crappy roads,
I think they all should be redone. It's
[49:12] they're horrible.
>> We drove them when
[49:17] » Yeah, we looked them all over and the
county made them look like amateurs. I
[49:21] mean, horrible. That that that's almost
a joke. I I want to have a conversation
[49:25] with you on it because I I don't think
we should accept them. Okay.
[49:29] » And there's horrible marks down. I mean,
it's just it it I've never seen such a
[49:32] bad job.
But we inspected them Thursday and
[49:39] » No.
>> Okay.
[49:40] » Once we start talking about the
intersection thing and they can't get to
[49:43] it this year.
So, like I said, I I wasn't here in town
[49:47] when they were doing those roads, but I
know they had to do them awful fast and
[49:50] like I said, crappy.
You if you go look down, you'll see
[49:54] exactly what I'm talking about. One,
then drive down Fort Wayne Avenue.
[50:00] I'm gonna get with David and come up
here.
[50:08] What's our project and what's
>> right?
[50:14] » Yeah, the gas [clears throat]
line project is all over. I don't want
[50:18] to
[50:21] » I got
David's got more
[50:35] » I sent it to you. I sent you an email
and said, "This is what I have. Let me
[50:39] know if these aren't going to work."
>> I know I did that. [laughter]
[51:12] I sent it to you Friday.
[51:17] Right here and scan your clothes for the
meeting.
[51:22] I'm not completely losing.
[snorts]
[51:33] » Yeah, I think
[51:42] the vote.
But it doesn't include. So what
[51:47] depending on which one they take over
years that twoear warranty.
[52:06] So,
[52:12] $90.99
[52:16] with a 2-year warranty.
[52:32] It's
>> $10.
[52:36] I'll make a motion to approve the Epson
printer for $99.99 including the 2-year
[52:40] warranty. Second,
>> all in favor
[52:47] of that, Dustin.
>> Thanks, David.
[52:54] » Let's move on to new business. Sarah
Hines Halloween event October 30th.
[53:06] No, you're good.
[53:14] » Indiana
[53:17] goal is to help
fund things like that. We're hosting our
[53:24] first annual um event on October 30th
and I rented this building, the church
[53:30] of God and then hopes to also use the
park and then
[53:36] out front. Um basically vendors,
games, things like that, the local
[53:43] community, but we'll also have raffles
in all
[53:47] in the area as well as any nonprofit
initiatives that the town wants to use
[53:51] it for. I'd be happy to have come to a
meeting after we know how much the final
[53:56] number is and how it be funded that way
as well. Um, but we're just asking to
[54:00] close off the road outside here on your
street from um 200 East to right at the
[54:07] school there from 5 to 9 p.m. on October
30th.
[54:14] » I see
the parade
[54:20] right down there.
Okay.
[54:24] » So, are you going to have vendors on
Harris Street?
[54:26] » No, it's just closed also like
>> That's what I was wondering. So, the
[54:30] parade actually function as part of like
totally fine to be functioning through
[54:35] as part of the event. Not that I'm
saying we did this, but you know what I
[54:39] mean? Like there I think that goes along
great. I don't know how you guys feel
[54:42] about it, but I'm happy to. I just
didn't want to have a lot of kids out
[54:46] there. Um, and I didn't want,
>> you know, cars running through and kids,
[54:51] you know, in costumes and stuff. So,
that's a big thing kind of similar to
[54:56] the way the car show was set up where
that's kind of the
[55:06] » motion.
Dustin Reese makes a motion to close
[55:10] from Harris Street from Rean to Union on
October 30th from
[55:15] » this is 5 to 9 and I got this
>> from 5 to 9
[55:24] » from 5 to 9.
>> Second
[55:26] » Daniel second. All in favor I approve.
And then I just had one other thing if I
[55:33] could just since I have everyone in the
room. um a big um thing that we try and
[55:38] do in communities which this is our
first fundraising event but I started a
[55:42] similar fundraising Indianapolis before
we moved here um was educating you know
[55:48] the the town and stuff and so I wanted
to ask the fire and police department if
[55:53] they would be willing or wanting to set
up like some kind of education whether
[55:58] it's fire um smoke detectors things like
that I don't know if you guys have
[56:03] available for that type ofation
But um could be a really beneficial
[56:08] thing for the kids in the area just like
to not fire you know coming into your
[56:14] house on fire that we were doing before.
So obviously you guys can take
[56:23] whatever but I would love if you would
be interested.
[56:28] Okay.
>> Thank you so much.
[56:30] » Thank you.
[56:35] Brendon Rumsville
[56:39] 30
[56:48] [laughter]
[56:59] county
I How many of you realize that 2027 is
[57:04] in fact the 200th anniversary of the
incorporation of Del County? So, as a
[57:08] result, we're hoping at the end spread
as much information about that yearong
[57:15] celebration, encourage local towns to be
involved in whatever way you want.
[57:21] There's going to be a um a bsentennial
ball on January the 30th and there's
[57:29] going to be we're we're hoping for a
communitywide bell ringing ceremony on
[57:34] the 26th of January
we were incorporating so bells around
[57:41] churches that you can cheer with them.
see if they wouldn't be willing to ring
[57:45] the bells on that day at noon in an
effort for us to to spread that cheer
[57:50] along the way. On the 11th of September
next year,
[57:54] » Brendon, what was the date on the bell
ring?
[57:56] » 26th.
>> Bel is January the 26th.
[58:00] » 26th
>> 2027. Yes, sir. Um, on September the
[58:04] 11th, 2027,
there's going to be a parade and so
[58:09] we're inviting everybody to become part
of that parade. We're marching bands.
[58:13] We're hoping for schools uh to march.
We're hoping for floats and engagement
[58:19] by the entire county. And I believe the
double paragraphs and move it way around
[58:25] for white river
that paragraphs again
[58:30] as we're working on this project which
has been now the student has been for
[58:35] just about a year now. Um we're to a
point time now we're going to be
[58:41] launching a website that is going to be
accessible through the Delaware County
[58:46] Historical Society. So it'll be a
secondary website
[58:51] what's going on with the bison table. So
if the town has something that you want
[58:56] to to share that can go on that website
as an event I think working with the
[59:02] Halloween program that's something
continue and you want that to be on that
[59:10] web page analogy something that we would
certainly certainly entertain all the
[59:15] submissions that go through the Del
County Historical Society the
[59:21] there's to touch when everything here is
unpleasant and unkind. So here's an
[59:27] opportunity I think for us as
not just not just
[59:34] but everybody to say okay we are all
part of this and so we can do things to
[59:41] educate our kids we can do things to
celebrate in lots of different ways we
[59:47] um we have we have a whole I mean it's
it's about to become a big deal and we
[59:54] um we want to be able to look back on
where we've been, celebrate where we
[1:00:01] are, and then start looking towards the
future and open that. So, um, if you've
[1:00:07] got any questions, I'm more than happy
to answer them and I will be glad to
[1:00:13] come back anytime you
[1:00:22] » Lambert's at 319 North Harford Street
Extension.
[1:00:28] They're not here, but I did receive a
phone call from the um company that is
[1:00:33] doing their survey that's required as
part of
[1:00:38] um that lot doing the alley. They need
to know how much you guys are going to
[1:00:45] give them.
You should have a map in there. Um
[1:00:50] looking at it, it's a 60ft easement. Um,
[1:00:56] so I think
David went and had lines located for
[1:01:01] 811. The only thing that showed up was
out there on Hartford Street
[1:01:07] » and
on the center
[1:01:10] » on Center Street
>> and over Oh, sorry. Back on Center
[1:01:14] Street. Um, so the side that they're
looking at is there on Davis Street. So
[1:01:20] I think I had estimated from their
original about 25 foot and that would
[1:01:25] still give us some from the edge of the
road south we would have have a decent
[1:01:32] amount of footage
right there.
[1:01:40] So that's up to you guys. But that's
what David and I had looked at and had
[1:01:44] done.
[1:01:47] So this is their current that's the 25
foot.
[1:01:51] » So this is their current property line.
>> And then I went out 25 foot and drew a
[1:01:57] line so that we'd see how much we had
left from here to there. And that leaves
[1:02:02] us I think it was like 10 foot or so.
>> So from my [clears throat] understanding
[1:02:06] is they're wanting to build something
right here. That'll give them enough
[1:02:09] room to do what they're wanting to do. I
assume
[1:02:12] » I has to be 5 foot off the property
line. So [clears throat]
[1:02:15] » 20 foot long
>> depends on Yeah.
[1:02:20] » Or maybe they were going to turn it this
way. I don't know.
[1:02:22] » Yeah. I don't I haven't seen a broker.
[clears throat] So that I don't know.
[1:02:33] » So it's that it's that second line. So
you have that dotted yellow line. That
[1:02:37] very next red line. That would be the
where the 25 foot would start and go
[1:02:42] south.
So yeah, that was kind of my question
[1:02:46] because they have a lot of time. They
not want my original
[1:02:51] » I don't know how far. I just put 25
foot.
[1:02:54] » She's looking 25 ft to the north. So if
there's both lots there, I would think.
[1:02:58] » So if the lot straight, then it would
still be 25 foot.
[1:03:08] » Yeah.
>> Well, and that would be 25 out.
[1:03:14] Then why would they want to
>> Well, last I talked about want to build
[1:03:19] a garage
[1:03:23] » and they've been Yeah. taking care of.
[1:03:32] [clears throat]
>> So the company was Ashton Land Surveys
[1:03:36] who called.
[1:03:39] I thought someone was going to be here
but
[1:03:44] I guess not.
[1:03:50] » No.
>> Correct.
[1:03:52] » Which has been there probably for 20
years.
[1:04:09] » They're not connected though.
[1:04:14] if that's you want to give them. I was
just giving you an idea. I said 25 foot
[1:04:18] does leave us
feet between the actual edge of the road
[1:04:23] and the property line.
>> How much does it
[1:04:26] » uh I would say looking at that probably
5 to 8 foot
[1:04:30] » wouldn't be anywhere 10 foot.
[1:04:39] Teresa Wils makes a motion to approve
the 25 foot.
[1:04:45] » Canyon blanket chip seconds. All in
favor?
[1:04:49] » I opposed. Approve.
[1:04:56] Moving on to new business. Still bid.
[1:05:08] So there's that one says this one says
this one does not say.
[1:05:19] Okay. The first one is uh from Ringwood
Motors Incorporated, Ringwood, Illinois
[1:05:25] on a 2020 Dodge Durango.
[1:05:32] » [clears throat]
[1:05:46] » $3,500.
[1:05:50] » What was the minimum on that?
[1:05:55] » Minimum 34,000.
[1:06:05] I don't memorize things.
[1:06:10] » Ray, you want to head up this way?
>> Yeah.
[1:06:13] » There's 4,000.
>> Minimum bid of 4,000.
[1:06:16] » Yeah, that's what we said
>> for the
[1:06:20] » Yeah.
[1:06:23] what
>> you going to tell us more about
[1:06:28] » what
>> the agency
[1:06:37] » let's finish
>> you know what the minimum bid was on
[1:06:41] that ring the
[1:06:51] Okay, this one here, it doesn't say
which vehicle is. We're going to open it
[1:06:54] next. Doesn't say who it's from.
>> 4,000 for the Durango, 15 for the
[1:06:59] Humvee, 4,000 for the Taurus.
>> We'll see what this one is.
[1:07:06] It's from Mentor, Ohio, but no name. So,
we'll see.
[1:07:24] They're bidding on the 2017 Taurus
78718
[1:07:33] and the 2020 Dodge Durango 68718.
[1:07:41] And that's it. That was from emergency
remarket.
[1:07:45] » Remarketing.
>> Remarketing.
[1:07:48] » That is not what it looks like. I
believe
[1:07:52] » I'm used to reading Derek's handwriting.
It's horrible.
[1:08:00] » And that was from uh Oh, yeah. And the
name was Brett Patty.
[1:08:05] The last one is a seal bid for the 2017
Ford Taurus
[1:08:11] from uh Ringwood Motors.
[1:08:22] That one was uh $25.
[1:08:43] So, none for the humb.
>> None for the humb.
[1:08:47] » None for the hy.
[1:08:53] [clears throat]
[1:08:58] Chief, what do you think about those
two?
[1:09:01] » Which one?
>> Well, this is a seven. Uh, Ringwood
[1:09:05] Motors is higher on both.
Um, the emergency remarketing was 787 on
[1:09:11] the Taurus. Ringwood Motors is 2500.
[1:09:17] Um, emergency remarketing on the Durango
was 68718. Says repairs exceed value.
[1:09:25] And on um Ringwood Motors is 3500.
They're the two Ringwood Motors have the
[1:09:32] highest bids on both. But you know the
vehicles, you know how bad bad a
[1:09:35] condition that they're in. So
[1:09:42] » on both of them.
[1:09:46] » So we'll talk about
>> ringwood.
[1:09:51] Great. R I N G
out of uh [cough]
[1:09:56] out of Illinois.
[1:10:05] » So I guess uh the 2017 Taurus you guys
[1:10:12] » ring is the highest on $2,500.
[1:10:19] I'll make a motion to accept
[1:10:24] » Dustin Reese makes a motion to accept
the bids on both vehicles. 2500 for the
[1:10:29] 17 Taurus. 3500 for the 20 Dodge
Durango. Second by Teresa Welsh. All in
[1:10:36] favor?
>> I approve.
[1:10:41] And I think we need to readvertise for
the Humvey. You want to drop the minimum
[1:10:46] amount?
[1:10:53] We have the minimum
>> um 15.
[1:10:55] » We had the minimum of 15.
[1:11:01] Drop the minimum to 10.
[1:11:06] Is everybody okay with that? Did I
[clears throat] get a motion?
[1:11:09] » Motion to reiter.
[1:11:15] Dustin Reese makes a motion for a
minimum bid now on the Hund for 10,000.
[1:11:20] » Well, second. All in favor?
[1:11:25] » See if we can't get that one sold next.
[1:11:44] » [clears throat]
[1:11:56] » our first transport
[1:12:07] per officer 7500,000
[1:12:12] transation All
[1:12:26] right. Thank you, Chief.
>> Uh, moving on to 2027 fire contract
[1:12:32] rate.
[1:12:41] There isn't. I need to know what you
guys want to do.
[1:12:51] I believe we increased it last year. I
was already told by one they wouldn't
[1:12:54] have money to increase it next year.
Um, that was Union Township. I haven't
[1:13:01] heard anything from Niles, but that's a
whole another thing. So, I don't know if
[1:13:05] you guys wanted to.
We usually try to raise it about every
[1:13:09] other year, right?
>> And we raised last year, so I I think we
[1:13:12] leave them alone.
[1:13:16] » Dustin Reese makes a motion to not raise
the 2027 fire contract rates.
[1:13:24] » Second by Teresa Welsh. All in favor?
[1:13:33] » Relocate emergency siren.
Okay. So, if we're going to sell that
[1:13:38] building, [sighs and gasps]
probably going to need to move the Simon
[1:13:42] because it won't be our building. Called
the county dead. It's our
[1:13:47] responsibility.
>> Contacted several
[1:13:51] talking to I think the best place that
we have. But it was
[1:13:58] three options. One on top of Bridg's
building
[1:14:03] directly across the street.
Uh two would be on top of fire station
[1:14:07] or three you could put it on the side of
the tower not all the way up because
[1:14:14] speaking to
EMA there's like
[1:14:23] 49.
[1:14:27] » Yeah. 49 ft is the highest.
So I talked to TNT Chor cuz he's the one
[1:14:35] that wired that up there. He said he
doesn't want to touch it, but he said if
[1:14:42] our guys can figure out how to
move it from down there and mount it
[1:14:47] down here and then have a certified
electrician make sure that there's the
[1:14:52] proper
electrical to that building.
[1:14:58] Then he would wire the controls back up.
[1:15:06] Where do you want it? I don't hear I
don't think the greatest
[1:15:13] » I would say the fire department or the
water tower. So where would you like to
[1:15:16] have it?
>> I think
[1:15:20] it's been over 10 years since I looked
at it. How big it actually is.
[1:15:24] » Is that 8 foot tall?
>> It's not.
[1:15:28] » No, I don't think so. No.
[1:15:33] I feel like on the floor
there
[1:15:39] [snorts]
[1:15:42] » so I don't remember how we got crane
crane
[1:15:47] up there but
>> I don't remember
[1:15:54] » and he doesn't remember how much it
weighs. I have no idea
[1:15:57] » because I was trying to really do some
research just by knowing exactly what it
[1:16:02] was up there on the weight to see if
like the man lift can do it. But then
[1:16:08] everything that I kind of researched,
you're probably see your weight limit
[1:16:12] with
whoever's on the lift plus that. Yeah,
[1:16:17] this main lift up a whole lot.
[1:16:24] » But we got
[1:16:40] you put on the fire station that's fine.
I don't know how well
[1:16:44] we have to build something
[1:17:01] [clears throat]
>> and I don't know what kind of power
[1:17:06] [clears throat] that motor is ridiculous
on that is saying it's three phase two
[1:17:12] which we have free. We have free
payment.
[1:17:16] » Why don't you uh analyze it? Come up
with a solution for the next meeting.
[1:17:22] » Okay.
[1:17:25] I And I want to swear it's heavy.
>> I want to really think it's heavy. And
[1:17:30] does it really have to be that high in
the air?
[1:17:32] » That's something you have to kind of
figure.
[1:17:35] » Well, depending on where it is, it has
to go. Yeah. Yeah, it has to go.
[1:17:40] » Well, it's not 2019 yet.
>> It's not 2019 yet.
[1:17:45] » That building's probably 20
4T 25.
[1:17:49] » And we have recently been beginning
complaints about people not being able
[1:17:52] to hear.
>> Oh, really?
[1:17:54] » Yeah. Like the end of Harris Street and
out um Cooper's out there on a thousand.
[1:18:00] » But then again, you're not supposed to
be able to hear from inside the house,
[1:18:03] » right?
[1:18:08] a thousand down there by the river
[laughter]
[1:18:11] » down by the river. This is a lot of
people. So here here's the other option
[1:18:18] and this is just throwing it out there
and I'm not the other option is don't
[1:18:22] even do anything with it because with
with the amount of
[1:18:28] electronics that are out there people
getting the alerts on their phones and
[1:18:33] phone calls through us and you know
everything else. I mean
[1:18:37] it's not a retirement.
[clears throat]
[1:18:43] » Yeah.
[1:18:47] I mean those are your options.
>> Bring something back to the meeting for
[1:18:52] us.
>> Sorry. Table that one.
[1:18:54] » Yeah. Table that one
gives us his opinion.
[1:19:01] Halloween parade October 30th at 7:30
p.m.
[1:19:07] » So we need permission to close Harris
Street from
[1:19:12] Front Street to up here to East Union.
getting to
[1:19:18] » right but and then we'll line up there
on Front Street and South Street like we
[1:19:24] did for the other
>> prayers
[1:19:32] to
what
[1:19:40] » from 7 to 8
[1:19:44] that would
[1:19:49] I got a motion from Dustin Leip
[1:19:54] seconds. All in favor?
>> I approve.
[1:20:05] » That's usually next month. Uh yeah,
>> Ray,
[1:20:11] » what?
>> That's your job?
[1:20:13] » What? trick-or- treat hours
>> for next month's meeting.
[1:20:22] » 6
[1:20:26] a.m.
>> 5 to 11. Whatever.
[1:20:37] » It's
perfect.
[1:20:43] Okay, we need to schedule
>> 2027 budget workshop.
[1:20:47] » I can't hear what
[1:20:55] » normally we wait and see what everybody
else is doing. So, if you want to wait,
[1:20:59] you can do that. You have
to find
[1:21:07] » I just
[1:21:14] Okay. Schedule 2027 budget workshop.
[1:21:28] » [clears throat]
[1:21:31] » So, I would like to have it done before
September 24th because I'd like to have
[1:21:36] the public hearing
um the 24th, 25th, or the 28th. And I
[1:21:42] need those totals for that hearing.
[clears throat]
[1:21:49] [snorts]
[1:21:59] I make a motion to approve the
adjustments for $1,63.
[1:22:06] » That's makes a motion to approve the
adjustments for $1,631.
[1:22:11] » Second.
>> Daniel Bl. All in favor?
[1:22:14] » I.
[1:22:18] » Mr. Brand,
do you have any comments, questions or
[1:22:22] concerns?
>> No questions or concerns. I just wanted
[1:22:28] you guys
>> have a what
[1:22:31] » a road plan. You wanted to look at it
and see if there's an opportunity to
[1:22:34] coordinate something
[1:22:41] and the county's doing the painting and
the municipalities materials.
[1:22:47] activity for free
[1:22:57] because I'm not kidding.
All your roads out here 1,200 all of
[1:23:02] them. When I our roads paved here
recently and looked at the difference,
[1:23:07] it is unbelievable
the work that your guys are doing
[1:23:12] compared to what we're paying to have
done. It's there's no comparisons.
[1:23:17] » I'll pass that.
>> I appreciate that.
[1:23:20] » They do they do a good job.
>> It's amazing. I mean, this is crazy, but
[1:23:26] High Street, which was one of our worst
roads. It had been bad so long that my
[1:23:31] uncle's house had had was washed out
right where his driveway is. I mean,
[1:23:35] deep where the road was gone. So, water
went into his property and just washed
[1:23:40] it out on 1200. When you guys paved, my
daughter lives out there. Every driveway
[1:23:46] you guys went in and did a little
approach
[1:23:50] a foot and a half, two foot in.
They left that ankle breaker over there
[1:23:57] that was 11 and 12 in deep, 4 in wide. I
I just took some gravel over to try to
[1:24:02] fill it up because even bringing a car
in, you almost bottom it out. Now, they
[1:24:06] were there another $30 in material and
they could have took care of a problem
[1:24:12] that but you know, heaven forbid someone
go over and above and do a really good
[1:24:17] job.
>> So, side note, High Street was not part
[1:24:22] of that project.
>> No, no, I know. But I'm just talking
[1:24:24] about the pay
>> and we've not paid them yet. So,
[1:24:26] » Oh, good.
>> So, we have that. I need to know those
[1:24:30] so we can send that to them before they
get paid. There's several things is
[1:24:35] we'll go back down on them but we ice
cream is one of them that just looks not
[1:24:38] great
just horrible.
[1:24:41] » So question um how would it fall with
the community crossings stuff because
[1:24:46] that's usually how we get our things
done is the community crossings and I
[1:24:50] ain't going to lie I sat through the
paser training class I don't really want
[1:24:55] to be certified in paser training but I
will if I have to. I mean, I'm at the
[1:24:59] point where I can go take the test, but
I don't really want to.
[1:25:05] » You're asking me.
>> I am asking you.
[1:25:09] » Sorry. Yeah. Yes.
>> So, it's separate from the work that we
[1:25:14] did between the county
was done outside,
[1:25:20] » right?
>> But I mean going forward, I mean going
[1:25:24] forward,
>> I think it could still be outside. I
[1:25:26] think we will do partner and do
something above and beyond what you're
[1:25:30] already getting crossing just like we
did this year.
[1:25:34] » Okay.
>> But that's why we have a rotating plan.
[1:25:37] We can look at
>> we do have a five years see how it lines
[1:25:42] up
and see if there's
[1:25:45] » we have a five plan that she has to tell
you.
[1:25:54] » You know we don't have an overabundance
of funds. I mean that you know what our
[1:25:58] budget is. I mean we just don't have a
lot of money and we don't want the town
[1:26:01] to go away but we feel like that
everybody wants the town to go away and
[1:26:05] um for another topic you and I you and I
can have some conversation about the
[1:26:10] other stuff later. I have you on my list
to call but um one of the things I did
[1:26:15] want to make sure that your guys knew is
when we looked at those paving jobs your
[1:26:20] the quality of work from the county was
unbelievable
[1:26:24] compared to what we got.
[1:26:29] Yeah.
>> So we can't use the community.
[1:26:37] » That's correct. Community out like
>> you can do it.
[1:26:44] » No, you can do inhouse, but it's it is
more specific than me just being able to
[1:26:51] contract it out.
>> So we could it can be done. So the
[1:26:56] county all
we outsource separate from
[1:27:02] » Yeah. They don't do That's what I was
asking is you don't do your mainsource.
[1:27:13] » That's what I was asking. Yeah. Sorry.
[1:27:18] » Any other comments?
[1:27:23] Okay.
Anthony,
[1:27:29] » okay.
[1:27:33] Did
>> you get Did you get work on my list?
[1:27:35] » Yeah.
>> Awesome. Thank you.
[1:27:38] » All right. I'll take a motion to
adjourn.
[1:27:40] » Make a motion to adjurnn. Daniel makes
emotions.
