[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

[1:06:59] Humvee, 4,000 for the Taurus. >> We'll see what this one is.

[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

[1:20:37] » 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.
