25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,080
you all for the wonderful work you're

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,760
doing for the city. Of course, I don't

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,040
come on the day to tell you what a

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,400
wonderful job you're doing. I'm here to

29
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,200
ask for your help. Um, I am looking for

30
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,040
some followup on the construction,

31
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,640
parking, and new short-term rentals at

32
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,040
104 Sunset Street. Um, my husband and I

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,479
sent emails last week, and we really

34
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:28,000
appreciate the responses from Mayor

35
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,600
Prom, and Miss Dwire, thank you for

36
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,840
responding to our emails. We understand

37
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,119
that there's going to be a report that

38
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:34,320
was generated, and we're looking forward

39
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:37,040
to hearing about that. um we're uh about

40
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,520
this uh you know R1 single family

41
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,439
residence that is now advertised as a

42
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:44,479
two-bedroom RB Airbnb and is alluding to

43
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:48,560
the fact that there will be uh three units in this uh single family

44
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,479
home. So we're looking for information

45
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:52,640
is three units actually legal what you

46
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,680
know what what are the legal

47
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,720
implications of that? What are the

48
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,119
rules? Um and looking forward to hearing

49
00:01:57,119 --> 00:01:59,439
what you have to say there. I also um

50
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,560
understand that the uh owner told uh

51
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,399
Terry Gorks that uh he was going to

52
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:06,399
widen the the driveway by one to two

53
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:08,399
concrete pavers but in fact added two

54
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:10,640
parkings two to three parkings but if

55
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:12,080
that is true we're just wondering if

56
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,599
there what's the status on the

57
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:15,840
permitting and if you misrepresent your

58
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,040
intentions as city are there any

59
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,800
implications for that so thank you very

60
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,160
much for the work that you're doing and

61
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,280
we appreciate it.

62
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,920
>> Thank you Erin. Now, our city building

63
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:25,920
inspector will be on Zoom.

64
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:26,319
>> Okay.

65
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,440
>> And he's coming in, but not right at the

66
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840
He had something to do. And I'll text

67
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,519
him and see what time he's come. Could

68
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:34,720
you

69
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,239
>> just coming in right now?

70
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:36,800
>> Yeah.

71
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,760
>> Thank you, Baron.

72
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,440
>> Would anyone else like to speak to the

73
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,160
council tonight? Oh, Brenet. Welcome,

74
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:44,800
Brennan.

75
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,360
>> Thank you.

76
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,760
>> Bren's a former council member.

77
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,840
>> That is true. Now I'm an empowered

78
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,040
citizen with a folder.

79
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,959
Look out. Uh, Brennan McGrath, 327 Koser

80
00:02:56,959 --> 00:02:59,920
Avenue. Um, I'm also here seeking some

81
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,400
assistance. Um, our next door neighbors

82
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,319
at 325 Koser uh were residents there for

83
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:08,480
many years. Uh, they've moved out about

84
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,800
four years ago and have converted the

85
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,239
house into a rental. We're on our fourth

86
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:17,120
uh group of of renters. They've had uh

87
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,519
multiple issues at the house. Um, not to

88
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:23,680
get too deep into the history of it, but

89
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,599
uh, I always tried to lend a hand over

90
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:30,000
there. Um, they were raising a young

91
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,400
child and, uh, the father was away quite

92
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,200
a bit. Um, and so I I tried to assist

93
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,000
and the regular maintaining of the yard

94
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
and keeping the snow cleared on the

95
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640
sidewalk and the driveway. Um, but since

96
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,440
it's been a rental, um, I've tried to

97
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,440
kind of give the new renters the lay of

98
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,159
the land and whatnot, but it's become

99
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:52,239
very apparent that this house, uh, is

100
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:55,680
just never really maintained at all. And

101
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,239
so, the the newest occurrence of that

102
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:00,239
unfortunately led us into a situation,

103
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:03,200
which brings me here tonight. Um I

104
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,040
believe it was the last full week of

105
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,439
June. Um the owner uh did stop by and

106
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:11,599
notify us that they were going to be

107
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:13,840
redoing their the main sewer line into

108
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,239
the house. And uh being a visual person,

109
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:18,959
I'll just leave you or show you what we

110
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,320
were left with um with that project. Of

111
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,400
course, they unearthed all the clay

112
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,080
that's underneath our top soil here and

113
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,240
kind of left it there and I became

114
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,960
concerned and asked her through text

115
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,680
messaging if someone was coming back to deal with the landscaping and she

116
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,680
said she was told by Rotorooer that she

117
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,600
needed to let the ground settle for at

118
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,160
least a month or two uh before any

119
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,240
landscaping was done. Um, so I ended up

120
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,360
uh after the we kind of got into that

121
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,360
second month. Um, that's when I

122
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,040
contacted the building. Actually, I

123
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,560
reached out to Tim. He directed me to

124
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,000
the building inspector, which was

125
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,919
helpful. He basically came over and

126
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:01,120
looked at it and said there was really

127
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,800
nothing he could do. Um, there was

128
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,080
really no violations. U, my main concern

129
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,160
was uh just the aesthetics of the

130
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,400
overall project and where it where it

131
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,759
lie. And um there was one one item in

132
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,520
particular which I'll get to, but he he

133
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,800
basically said there's really nothing I

134
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,280
can do. Um you know, if there were some

135
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:21,600
kind of erosion situation here, uh maybe

136
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,960
I could I could talk to him about that,

137
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,280
but we're on top of a hill, so that

138
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:26,639
that's not going to be a problem. Well,

139
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:29,280
the rain came and it all just washed

140
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,440
into the sidewalk in the street. So I

141
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,840
took some pictures and and sent them to

142
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,560
the inspector. He notified her and of

143
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,039
course 3 weeks transpired. He gave her a

144
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:42,400
timeline to mitigate this uh this

145
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,800
erosion problem and this was her

146
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,800
solution. Um our orgi uh Lily here is

147
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,479
inspecting the work, but it was

148
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:53,360
basically two sandbags and two wooden

149
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,280
blocks. Um which in no way was going to

150
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:00,720
mitigate any erosion at all. But again,

151
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,919
then when I talked to the building

152
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:03,199
inspector, he says there's actually

153
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:05,120
nothing in the ordinance that says

154
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,160
exactly how they need to mitigate it. So

155
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,919
this was her attempt and that was

156
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:12,240
basically the best that uh she could do

157
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,759
and and I guess that was going to be

158
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:16,400
acceptable. Um luckily we didn't get

159
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,319
that's kind of when the dry season came

160
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:21,280
and we didn't get any rain. But um she

161
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,759
did end up having a company come and do

162
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:25,759
um landscaping. And basically what they

163
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:28,319
did is they tilled up the soil, threw

164
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,199
down a bunch of seed and some straw. Um

165
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:33,360
and then they threw down rock which

166
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,800
around the area that I was most

167
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,520
concerned about which are these drainage

168
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,919
uh cleanouts that are in front of the

169
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:43,680
house. And um these are actually being

170
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,000
used in several projects that I've seen

171
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,639
uh around the city. Um, but typically

172
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:50,880
what people do is they then cut those

173
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,960
off at the ground level so you don't see

174
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,000
them. Um, so I saw this and thought,

175
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,840
well, maybe she's going to plant shrubs

176
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,560
around it to kind of hide that. Um, I

177
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,080
talked to the city inspector about it

178
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,080
and that's what brought me here tonight

179
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,840
is that he said there was nothing in the

180
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,400
ordinance that said that those that

181
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,560
those need those cleanouts needed to be

182
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,479
cut. They could just stay at that

183
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:13,840
length. That there was nothing in the

184
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,240
ordinance that he could do to enforce

185
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,599
that. So, I don't I I leave it to you to

186
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:21,360
uh come up with something creative if

187
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,639
it's an aesthetic issue. U but as I

188
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:26,960
mentioned, um they tilled up um the

189
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,720
ground and they put down the seed, which

190
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,400
will be great. Um they're not watering

191
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,560
it or anything, so we're probably going

192
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,880
to have to wait till spring to see any

193
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,000
new grass. But uh my main concern are

194
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,080
those cleanouts. And it's unfortunate

195
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,240
that there's not something existing in

196
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,560
the ordinance. But I guess I would chalk

197
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,560
it up to common sense and how people

198
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,919
would aesthetically pleasing that um I

199
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:51,919
guess that that's not the situation in

200
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:55,680
this in this moment. And what she's had

201
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,639
done is had rock put down uh around the

202
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:01,360
pipes. So now nothing will grow. And

203
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,080
unless that uh you know she was to dig

204
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,759
up that rock and plant some shrubs

205
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:08,000
around it at a later date, I don't know.

206
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,759
But I I don't at this point really want

207
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:11,840
to get more involved in this situation

208
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,560
than I already am. And so I I leave it

209
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,400
to you and and hopefully by bringing

210
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,319
this to your attention. I don't know if

211
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:20,080
we can mitigate this situation, but

212
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,840
maybe future situations um would require

213
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,479
a change. So I'll leave that to you.

214
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:28,080
Thank you for the time that you given.

215
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,440
>> I appreciate you explaining it to

216
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,919
council. We did try to go through

217
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:34,240
channels that you know and I think we

218
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,959
can uh talk with Troy, our city

219
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:38,719
administrator, too, and we'll take it

220
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:41,120
over from here now that we're aware

221
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,599
>> of this and maybe Brian Jensen can help

222
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:45,440
too. And I don't know if it's Steve

223
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,040
Ballard, our city attorney, has any

224
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,399
>> any issues with that at all, but uh

225
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:54,959
we'll work on it from here on out. Thank

226
00:08:54,959 --> 00:08:55,200
you.

227
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,720
>> Yeah. And from my experience, I know a

228
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,519
picture says a thousand words. So u

229
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:00,800
hopefully that helped as well.

230
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,000
>> It does help. Thank you very much.

231
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,160
>> Okay. Does anyone else like to speak to

232
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,680
the council tonight?

233
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:13,040
>> Okay. Now, uh we have visitors here from

234
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,279
Johnson County. The officials, this is

235
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:19,839
their annual visit and uh we just are so

236
00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:21,680
grateful that you're coming tonight. I

237
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,200
see we've got, you know, four officials.

238
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Does anyone want to start talking?

239
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,200
Scott, you want to start?

240
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:29,680
>> Sure.

241
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:30,880
>> Well, thank you.

242
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,440
>> Yeah. Um, five years from Well, when we

243
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,640
hit our fifth year, I plan to bring

244
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,160
presents for everybody

245
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,120
>> to commemorate.

246
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,279
>> Just make sure everybody knows you.

247
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:42,720
>> Oh, yeah. Scott Finson. Um, I'm the guy

248
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,760
who you all send money to every year,

249
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,600
several times, uh, to keep things

250
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,360
running. So, I'm the treasurer. Um, so,

251
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,959
thanks for having us. We started this a

252
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:54,880
couple years ago. uh want to make sure

253
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,080
we get out to hear what you guys want to

254
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,440
tell us as much as we can tell you where

255
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,279
things are going in the county. Um one

256
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:00,800
thing that happened two weeks ago is we

257
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,680
changed the name of our eponym to Mural

258
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:05,200
Lulu Johnson. Um I don't know if any of

259
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,320
you got to come out to that ceremony,

260
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,399
but it was actually quite nice and I

261
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:09,440
just thought I'd bring this for you guys

262
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,080
to keep. Uh but this is the history of

263
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,160
the person who our F&M's after.

264
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,959
>> Oh, thank you.

265
00:10:14,959 --> 00:10:16,320
>> Yeah, for sure. If you have a coffee

266
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,839
table somewhere, feel free to slap that

267
00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:20,880
on there. Enjoy. Um, big news from

268
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,000
treasur's office. Our electronic updates

269
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,680
of payments has become fully realized.

270
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,279
You can now set up an account on Iowa

271
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:33,120
tax and tax. You can set up uh payments

272
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,360
by month as long as your full taxes are

273
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,600
paid. And we do aes to pull from your

274
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,959
account without you doing anything.

275
00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:40,480
It'll update the next year as long as

276
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,480
you keep your your information current.

277
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,360
And so we're fully in the 21st century

278
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,600
since uh I've been at the job for 17

279
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,519
years. So pretty proud accomplishment

280
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:53,040
for that. Um and the auditor may talk

281
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,040
about this more but just for you all

282
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,040
just like for us just be aware we talked

283
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,959
about this last year that's coming to

284
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:01,200
more fruition. Uh the state's putting

285
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,120
some rather

286
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,040
uh hard collars on local governments to

287
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,760
be aware of. Uh are the amount we can

288
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,160
ask for is collared and then also the

289
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,600
amount we can carry forward is now being

290
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,480
collared too. So just have your staff

291
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,680
look at that. make sure they're aware of

292
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:21,040
those uh hindrances moving forward

293
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,360
financially for all of us. And with

294
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600
that, I'll pass on the next person.

295
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,519
>> Thank you, Scott.

296
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:28,959
>> Hi, Julie.

297
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:32,079
>> Well done. Hello. Um I'm Julie

298
00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:34,560
Personsons. I'm the county auditor. Uh

299
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:37,120
if you didn't know, there is an election

300
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,320
in less than two months. Um, we will

301
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,200
start voting on October 14th and we will

302
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,040
have voting available every single day

303
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,600
of the 20 days, every Saturday, Sunday.

304
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,519
Um, we're doing three evenings. We're

305
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:50,640
going to have our drive-through open.

306
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,839
We're going to have nine different

307
00:11:51,839 --> 00:11:53,279
satellites out in the county. So, we're

308
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,360
giving everybody the opportunity to vote

309
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,839
in person this year. Um, I know a lot of

310
00:11:57,839 --> 00:11:59,200
people are very, very concerned about

311
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,200
what's going on with the mail and the

312
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,360
potential for the mail and all ballot

313
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,240
issues. Um, so if people are really

314
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,000
worried about that, they can vote early

315
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,560
in person. Um, again, our drive-thru,

316
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,560
you can sit in your car, so you can you

317
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:19,120
don't have to be around people if it's a thing like that. Um, also, um,

318
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,519
we're going to have our Dropbox open 24

319
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:23,920
hours a day. It is under camera

320
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,480
monitoring. So if people don't trust the

321
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,760
mail, they don't want to put it back in

322
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,519
the mail, if they have a mail ballot,

323
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,920
they can drop it off at our building

324
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,920
right in the dropbox and know that that

325
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,519
is going to go straight into our office.

326
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:38,079
So um as you're talking to people,

327
00:12:38,079 --> 00:12:39,760
everybody's been talking about it. The

328
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,240
more we can as elected officials help

329
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,800
each other spread the word. Um if they

330
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,720
have questions, stop by our office.

331
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,880
We're always willing to talk to people.

332
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,560
Um, but we're really going to be here

333
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:52,240
and try to make sure everybody gets the

334
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,680
chance to vote for September voting. So,

335
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:57,600
um, big election this year will be a lot

336
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,839
of fun. Uh, other than that, as Scott

337
00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:02,240
was saying, uh, a lot of a lot of

338
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,560
changes with property taxes that also

339
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,440
changed some of the laws around TIF. Um,

340
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,120
we are waiting on the Department of

341
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Management to finalize some stuff and

342
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,760
then they're going to be giving us

343
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,760
training on it. So, by the time we do

344
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,880
TIF for you guys in December, uh, Tara

345
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,639
will know everything. she'll be able to

346
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:20,240
work with Mike like she always does and

347
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,079
make sure we can answer the questions

348
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:23,440
because we want to make sure all of our

349
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,079
towns get all the right tiff money. Um

350
00:13:26,079 --> 00:13:27,519
it's very important because you guys do

351
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:29,920
really great work with that. So um we

352
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,560
are here if you need us. Um does that

353
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:33,920
talk?

354
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,200
>> Thank you Julie. And we have Rachel.

355
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,120
Uh Rachel Zimmerman Smith, Johnson

356
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,120
County attorney. Um, I spend more than

357
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,279
my fair share at University Heights,

358
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:47,839
think you all know, mostly at Maggie's

359
00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:51,600
and Sidekick at this point. Um, the

360
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,600
county attorney's office is very busy.

361
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,040
Um, we had about 3,700 indictable cases

362
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,680
last year. Um, we currently have four

363
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,720
pending murder cases. Um, I know that's

364
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,360
not a sunny way to start. Um, but it's

365
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,720
just important for everybody to know

366
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,720
that we have, you know, very serious

367
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,959
responsibilities. We have a great staff

368
00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:12,079
um that handles it and great

369
00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:13,839
partnerships with local law enforcement

370
00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:16,240
including your own uh chief Chris Acres

371
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,320
who um I see at least once a month at

372
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,519
our chief's meeting and really

373
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:22,079
appreciate having him um be a part of

374
00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:25,600
it. Uh I am also very busy um

375
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,839
representing my office represents all

376
00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:29,360
folks back here and every county

377
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,279
department and the board of supervisors.

378
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:33,279
So as you can imagine that that

379
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:36,079
continues to keep us busy. Um, so I just

380
00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:38,480
want to thank you for what you all do

381
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,079
and hope that you know my office is

382
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:42,639
always here to help. I'm really proud to

383
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:44,480
serve all of you and you know where to

384
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,839
find me.

385
00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:54,150
>> Thank you very

386
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,760
Hey guys, Brad Con, Johns County

387
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,480
Sheriff. Um, I'm supposed to watch you

388
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,839
for some reason. That's what I was told

389
00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:02,399
before I came in here.

390
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:03,920
>> I can't tell you where my information

391
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,480
came from. Um, normally I just stand

392
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,760
here and tell you how good of a job I'm

393
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,360
doing and I could certainly do that.

394
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,279
But, uh, the other big thing I have in

395
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:12,800
my world thinking bird is we're trying

396
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,279
to get a bond referendum passed for a

397
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:17,360
sheriff's office in jail. So, in

398
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,040
addition to everything else going on in

399
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,279
the midterms in November is the the

400
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:23,360
bond. Uh, as a lot of you know, the

401
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,120
county's tried this before. The last

402
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,760
bond referendum in 2013 for a justice

403
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,880
center that was about a 43.5 million

404
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,360
bond that failed to hit 60%. It got 54%

405
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,120
of the vote, but wasn't enough to get to

406
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,320
the 60. So, here we are again um 13

407
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,639
years later trying a new project, kind

408
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:44,240
of a different angle. This time, now a

409
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,720
standalone sheriff's office and jail to

410
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,079
be located just west of here on IWV. Uh

411
00:15:50,079 --> 00:15:52,399
the jail component of the building would

412
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:54,720
have 140 bed capacity and then the

413
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,720
sheriff's office piece of it would be

414
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,120
the remainder of what my operation does.

415
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,959
Um, I have 112 employees at the

416
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:03,120
sheriff's office and a little less than

417
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,519
half work in the jail. Everybody else

418
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:06,880
does the rest of the work for the

419
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,240
sheriff's office. So, we're a big agency

420
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,079
and it's important to know that when

421
00:16:10,079 --> 00:16:11,440
you're talking about this or hearing

422
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,279
about or have questions that it's not

423
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:14,959
just the jail. This isn't a bond

424
00:16:14,959 --> 00:16:16,480
referendum for the jail. It's the

425
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,959
sheriff's office and the jail. Uh, the

426
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:20,399
price tag on the bond referendum is

427
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:24,079
$94.5 million. that covers construction,

428
00:16:24,079 --> 00:16:27,040
furnishing, and also um paying back

429
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,480
essentially to the county what they

430
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,720
spent purchasing the property. Uh the

431
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,120
bond would be for 12 years. Um the tax

432
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,639
increase would be $88 per $100,000 of

433
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:41,600
taxable value. That's very important to

434
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,279
understand. It's the taxable amount, not

435
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:45,360
your assessed amount. Uh the county has

436
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,880
a great website called Johnson

437
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,279
CountyJailbond

438
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:51,680
or I can't remember.

439
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,600
Uh there's a tax calculator on there to

440
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,440
look at. So you can look at your parcel,

441
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,519
look at that tax number, put that in,

442
00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:59,839
and that will show you what uh the tax

443
00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:02,079
increase would be. I think on average is

444
00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:05,120
about $20 a month per Johnson County

445
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:09,120
resident. Um the the idea is to not only

446
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:11,120
meet the needs that we have right now,

447
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:13,760
but 30 years, 40 years, 50 years down

448
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,160
the road. Um our current building at 511

449
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,120
South Capital is 45 years old. It's kind

450
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:20,799
of falling apart around us. We're

451
00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:23,839
currently spending 3.2 million just to

452
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,000
keep it habitable. Um, keep the

453
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,839
structure secure as well as the roof and

454
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,240
the HVAC, but no matter what, that

455
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,440
doesn't address any of the other

456
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,720
operational or growth um or overcrowding

457
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,760
problems that we have. We the jail was

458
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,440
built with 46 beds. Uh we have 92 beds,

459
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,600
but that doesn't mean we hold 92 people.

460
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,559
My operational capacity is 65. So to

461
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:48,240
manage that number, we house out a

462
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,160
county. Right now I have about 40

463
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,480
inmates out of county. Um and last year

464
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,640
we spent about $420,000

465
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,440
on out of county housing. Uh the other

466
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,960
thing I leave with a bit of trivia. What

467
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,400
do uh what do Delaware, Lee, Washington,

468
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:09,430
Henry, Musketine, Lynn, and

469
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,520
» get up up to seven. What do all those

470
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,600
counties have in common?

471
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,760
>> You get a check from Johnson.

472
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,280
>> That's exactly right. Those are all the

473
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,039
counties I'm housing inmates in right

474
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:20,960
now because we don't have enough space

475
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,200
in our jail. So, we have to house out of

476
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,280
county. Um, so we're as far away as Lee

477
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,919
County, Delaware County, uh, then

478
00:18:27,919 --> 00:18:29,840
anywhere else we can. That problem's

479
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,200
getting worse because of some law

480
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,840
changes and also over time the jail

481
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,320
population is doing this. We spend

482
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,919
millions in this community in the world

483
00:18:37,919 --> 00:18:39,440
of jail diversion. And a lot of those

484
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,520
things work really, really well. And I

485
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,880
think that's why our day-to-day

486
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,280
population is growing at this rate and

487
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,280
not this rate. And a lot of those

488
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,360
programs really work and we need to have

489
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,840
the capacity for today and 30 years down

490
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,080
the road. So, um you're welcome to come

491
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,080
take a tour sometime. I do tours pretty

492
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,160
regularly if you're ever interested in

493
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,760
coming to see for yourself. You probably

494
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,520
seen some of the signs popping up around

495
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,400
town, but otherwise um happy to answer

496
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,760
any questions you may have sometime.

497
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,120
Shoot me an email. If you want to come

498
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,600
take a tour, let me know. either we can

499
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,440
go through Troy, you can organize it or

500
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,840
something, but welcome anytime. So,

501
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:14,960
thanks for what you do. Thanks for

502
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,320
having us.

503
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,039
>> Thank you, Sharon.

504
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:22,480
>> Any questions for any of them?

505
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,320
>> Thank you very much for coming tonight.

506
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,320
We really appreciate your annual

507
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,039
reports. Thank you. Thanks again. You

508
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:33,270
can stay as long as you want.

509
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,360
» Thanks again. So, uh, I see that Terry G

510
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:41,280
is here now. He zoomed in. And so, if

511
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,000
council's okay, we'll have a report from

512
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,480
Terry. Uh, Terry, can you hear? Okay.

513
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,120
>> Uh, yes. Yes, I can.

514
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:53,120
>> Can you turn him up a little?

515
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:56,240
>> I am loud as we can go.

516
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,520
>> Okay.

517
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Well, anyway, uh I'd like you to go

518
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,160
through some of the history of the of

519
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,360
the property owner that people are

520
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:09,760
questioning, you know, 104 sunset,

521
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,240
whether they're following our ordinances

522
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,039
and what they're doing.

523
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:19,600
>> Sure. Sure. So, what uh I uh received a

524
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,520
phone call probably three weeks ago from

525
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,000
this gentleman. Uh he was looking at

526
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,919
buying the property.

527
00:20:25,919 --> 00:20:29,039
>> Terry just meant actually here tonight

528
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:29,840
too. So

529
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,320
>> yes.

530
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,120
>> So So I I went through things with him

531
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:38,000
and uh at first he was only going to go

532
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,480
ahead and widen his driveway by one

533
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,559
foot. Well, if you know 104 Sunset, he

534
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:48,000
probably has more u lot frontage than

535
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,600
any property in town. Uh, I think he's

536
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,720
well over 250 lineal feet of lot

537
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,559
frontage. Okay. So, I figured by only

538
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:01,120
adding a foot to his existing driveway

539
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:04,400
was no big deal. I And I decided I

540
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,760
wasn't going to mess with the building

541
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,760
permit for one foot. Um, that was

542
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,200
probably two weeks ago. Uh well, when uh

543
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,480
Saturday, two weeks ago on Saturday, uh

544
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,760
they went ahead and they were going to

545
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,080
start doing the work and they added a

546
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,799
little bit more than what was uh we

547
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:28,320
talked about. He did put a parking pad

548
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,480
in the front yard.

549
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,440
Um so I had stopped there. I was out of

550
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,240
town. I stopped there and uh talked to

551
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,080
the actual contractor who was really

552
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,919
nice. He says, "Yeah, we're just putting

553
00:21:39,919 --> 00:21:42,400
a parking pad there." Uh, and we were

554
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,400
widening out the driveway probably 2

555
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,080
foot instead of 1 ft and they were going

556
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,480
to put a a walking path around to the

557
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,159
back side of the house which would front

558
00:21:50,159 --> 00:21:53,120
on on Melrose.

559
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:54,960
Um, I said, "Well, you're you're

560
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,559
probably going to need to get a permit

561
00:21:56,559 --> 00:22:00,880
to do this." So, I called up Nick and uh

562
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:06,400
boom, he went ahead and uh applied for a a building permit. I've

563
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,360
got it sitting here right on my desk. um

564
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:12,799
ready to approve it. Um he is well

565
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:16,559
within the 1/3

566
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:20,080
uh that he can go ahead and pave. I mean

567
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,960
so that's not an issue.

568
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,600
So I don't see an issue with it.

569
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,200
But that's how all this trans

570
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:39,830
transpired.

571
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,240
Does anybody have any questions on any

572
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,159
of that or be more than happy to to

573
00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:48,559
answer?

574
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:50,400
>> Um, I guess I'm going to bring up Erin's

575
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,880
question about it becoming potentially

576
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,840
three units in a single family home. And

577
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,440
maybe that's more directly towards Steve

578
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,840
than you. I'm not sure. But what does

579
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,000
that look like if that

580
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,400
It's not. It's I talked to the owner. I

581
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,640
talked to Nick. He's there. Um Nick is

582
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,000
going to use that as a single family

583
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,120
dwelling. Um my understanding he might

584
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,600
use it as a what do they call that? BBO

585
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,039
or whatever. You know, he might rent out

586
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:19,520
a room. Uh he might rent out the

587
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,000
basement for a short term. He's not

588
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,200
converting it to a duplex.

589
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,000
No way could he convert it to a duplex.

590
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,080
the way that house was built. I mean,

591
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,320
you'd have to put in a separate furnace

592
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,039
to make it into a duplex.

593
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:37,280
You'd have to provide 1 hour separations

594
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,440
to make it into a duplex. And that's

595
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,039
kind of hard to do when you have an

596
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:54,870
existing structure,

597
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,240
you know, I I I don't uh I don't get

598
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,880
into a lot of the BROS or whatever

599
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,559
they're called in the rental portion of

600
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:05,760
it. You know, uh my counterpart Brian

601
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,640
Jensen does. He's very schooled in it.

602
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,760
Um, and I'm sure he would be on top of

603
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,039
it if uh it turned into, you know, maybe

604
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:19,120
a a uh you know, a unit, a rental unit

605
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:22,159
of some sort someday. But, uh, the owner

606
00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:23,840
assures me that he's going to be living

607
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:31,190
there.

608
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:36,640
I I guess I don't um you know I'm I'm sure the neighbors were wondering

609
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,480
what was going on when they started

610
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,919
seeing uh some of the bushes and and

611
00:24:41,919 --> 00:24:44,080
other things being moved and some dirt

612
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,880
being moved. But, uh, as far as I'm

613
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,760
concerned, he's he's well within the,

614
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,559
you know, requirements for,

615
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:56,240
uh, installing some some pavers and and

616
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,520
parking. Uh, you know, um, my

617
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,279
understanding was that that quote

618
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:04,559
unquote parking pad out front was so

619
00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:08,480
they could back up and and actually

620
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,279
drive out into onto Sunset instead of

621
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:13,360
backing out because you've got cars

622
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:17,200
coming across Melrose

623
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,880
at a decent speed that he didn't want to

624
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:33,590
create an accident of any sort.

625
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:44,789
But

626
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:47,919
» so I mean I'm more than

627
00:25:47,919 --> 00:25:49,840
>> Oh, sorry. I was going to say thanks for

628
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,559
your explanation on everything. I think

629
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:55,279
um from my perspective this week, I had

630
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:58,720
a lot of neighbors uh just come to me

631
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,480
with with this house in particular, but

632
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,360
I don't necessarily think it's

633
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:04,880
even the fact that it's this house. I

634
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,720
think it's just the ongoing trend we

635
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,919
keep seeing in the neighborhood of homes

636
00:26:09,919 --> 00:26:11,840
being purchased and then either turned

637
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,720
into a rental or an Airbnb and kind of

638
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,360
the

639
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:21,840
idea of how can we better preserve our

640
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,279
maintenance standards in our

641
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:26,640
neighborhood. Um, and so

642
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,240
Steve, I've been putting together a lot

643
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,640
of questions and we'll meet with you,

644
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,880
but just wondering like are there ways

645
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,480
that we can be a little bit more strict

646
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,640
on certain things so that maybe um maybe

647
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,720
we're and don't say deterring people

648
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,559
from purchasing homes for rentals

649
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:46,400
because we h we have some great renters.

650
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,720
We have some great rental properties. I'

651
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,640
I've

652
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,120
young families and enjoyable folks that

653
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:54,559
really keep up their yard and

654
00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:57,039
everything, but um I know the state kind

655
00:26:57,039 --> 00:27:00,559
of has us tied uh their their hands tied

656
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:03,360
as far as capping rentals, but at some

657
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:06,320
point I feel like when has the

658
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,440
neighborhood just turned into

659
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,320
a a tailgating spot for the city to

660
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,799
utilize it and no longer a neighborhood?

661
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:17,679
Uh what does that look like? So, I I I'm

662
00:27:17,679 --> 00:27:19,760
going to personally do some digging and

663
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,120
hopefully I'll work with you, Steve.

664
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:22,720
Terry, I may reach out to you, but I

665
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,640
kind of wanted to get everyone else's

666
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,279
opinion. Um, like I said, I got a lot of

667
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,600
feedback from neighbors kind of over

668
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,919
here on the north side, but would love

669
00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:34,159
feedback from everyone else. I think

670
00:27:34,159 --> 00:27:36,320
Troy wants to comment if I might just

671
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,799
offer a little perspective to council in

672
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:42,559
regards to this specific property. uh

673
00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:45,200
this owner did not come in and and just

674
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,960
start to do this without making any

675
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,039
notification to the city. This owner

676
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:50,799
when he was considering buying the

677
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:53,039
property, contacted the city about the

678
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:56,640
rules uh both as

679
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,960
potential rental rental property and

680
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,559
some of the changes that would need to

681
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:02,960
be done to the property. Uh he was

682
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,679
referred to appropriate staff. He was

683
00:28:05,679 --> 00:28:07,440
referred to Terry Garrett. just referred

684
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,159
to uh the city clerk regarding getting

685
00:28:10,159 --> 00:28:14,480
accurate information on any allowed use

686
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,960
of it as a rental property or VRBO and

687
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,120
necessary necessary steps that would

688
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:20,799
need to be that would need to be done.

689
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:25,600
So, uh it may seem like to to Aaron or

690
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,120
some of the others that this just has

691
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,120
happened overnight, but this has been

692
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,440
ongoing. He's been asking questions

693
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,080
before he purchased it and wanting to

694
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,320
know first of all, can I make these

695
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,760
changes and second of all, I want to

696
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,039
make sure that I'm doing them in

697
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:41,679
accordance to any rules and regulations

698
00:28:41,679 --> 00:28:43,440
in the city before I purchase this

699
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,480
property. So, I just in in relation to

700
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,720
this specific property, I I just wanted

701
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,279
to make sure council was aware that that

702
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:53,679
Meth has has tried to do everything.

703
00:28:53,679 --> 00:28:57,919
He's he's made the right angle and he's looked for the information to do

704
00:28:57,919 --> 00:29:00,720
things about the boarding law since his

705
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,799
regulations.

706
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:04,880
>> I live on the other side so I know Nick

707
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,720
um I don't know if you want to He came

708
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,919
in after the public comment. I don't

709
00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:10,559
talk.

710
00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:12,640
>> Yeah, maybe just a quick comment.

711
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,399
>> You want to come up here and state your

712
00:29:14,399 --> 00:29:17,039
name and address and

713
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:19,440
>> yeah

714
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,000
people call me Nick but uh yeah. So

715
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
maybe I'll just quickly say I have no

716
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,440
intention of turning this into a

717
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,320
multiplex. It's my home.

718
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,880
>> It'll never have any renters.

719
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,240
I do travel a lot.

720
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,919
>> Oh, are you the new owner?

721
00:29:33,919 --> 00:29:35,039
>> Yes.

722
00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:36,640
>> I'm the troublemaker that everyone seems

723
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,240
to hate.

724
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,600
>> I don't know what I did, but for some

725
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,679
reason I'm the most hated person within

726
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:44,559
a week and a half. But anyways, um yeah,

727
00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:48,399
I uh travel a lot for work and there are

728
00:29:48,399 --> 00:29:50,799
a lot of other people that seem to be

729
00:29:50,799 --> 00:29:53,679
doing what I intended to do, but for

730
00:29:53,679 --> 00:29:55,760
some reason me doing it is creating a

731
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,760
lot of havoc, which is kind of

732
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,760
interesting and I'll just point that

733
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,600
out. Um when a family rents out their

734
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,440
home because like I don't watch

735
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,279
football. I I I hope that's not a

736
00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:09,279
sacrilegious thing to say. I like

737
00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:11,039
wrestling. I don't like football, but I

738
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:12,559
do

739
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:16,080
uh I'll take that weekend and, you know,

740
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,760
rent it out to people who want to come

741
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,760
and watch the Iowa State game and I'll

742
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,840
go do something else. Like I'm not sure

743
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,080
what is criminal about that. Hopefully

744
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,960
there is not a any now or ever will be

745
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,240
and but you can come and look at it, you

746
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,679
know, two months from now, six months

747
00:30:31,679 --> 00:30:33,600
from now. There will never be any

748
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,760
renters. There will never be any

749
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,760
multiplex. And for the record, Airbnb,

750
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,399
as many Airbnbers do, you can choose to

751
00:30:42,399 --> 00:30:44,799
rent your whole home or you can choose

752
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:47,039
to rent a room or you can choose to rent

753
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:50,000
your basement. There is nothing. I'm not

754
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
segmenting my home. I'm offering it

755
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,679
because sometimes somebody's coming to

756
00:30:53,679 --> 00:30:56,080
town as an individual. I don't need a

757
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,600
whole your whole five- bedroomedroom

758
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,000
home. I just need a room to rent and I

759
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,080
want to come and see the game. Or there

760
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,919
may be a group of six people and they

761
00:31:03,919 --> 00:31:06,880
want to stay in the bigger. So I offer

762
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,799
it in different configurations depending

763
00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:12,000
on who's coming to town for the games or

764
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,080
a medical conference or whatever it is.

765
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,440
So that's kind of the extent of the

766
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,279
story.

767
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:19,520
I have a and just on the just on the

768
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,159
other parking front and again I looked

769
00:31:22,159 --> 00:31:24,720
at this very carefully

770
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,399
I have 125 square foot

771
00:31:28,399 --> 00:31:32,640
125 lot uh frontage as far as I'm aware.

772
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,399
I looked at the ordinance. It says front

773
00:31:34,399 --> 00:31:36,960
set. It's 1/3 of front setback. And I

774
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,640
talked to Terry about this weeks before

775
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:45,200
I bought 125 * 25 / 1/3 is 1,041

776
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,640
whatever square ft. I have two when I

777
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,919
bought this home. I have technically 280

778
00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:55,840
not no 260 square foot frontage.

779
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,600
With all due respect to Nick, he has

780
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,360
almost his whole frontage is his is

781
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,200
part. I mean, you know what I mean? Like

782
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,799
with the wife. So, I'm just trying to

783
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:06,080
understand why this home is not allowed

784
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,640
what other homes are allowed very

785
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,200
clearly. And so, that's I'm trying to

786
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,559
get to the bottom of that.

787
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:13,519
>> Sure.

788
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:15,360
>> And so,

789
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,600
I think everyone here should be aware,

790
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,159
including the attorneys and so on. If I

791
00:32:20,159 --> 00:32:22,159
get the impression, and I'll just say

792
00:32:22,159 --> 00:32:23,519
this for the record, if I get the

793
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:26,240
impression that I'm being

794
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,880
non-uniformally treated,

795
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,919
I will have to treat that accordingly.

796
00:32:31,919 --> 00:32:33,440
So, I that's all I want to say. If

797
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,640
there's any questions, I'm happy to

798
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,120
address them. But as far as I've been

799
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,640
talking to Terry, I've been chasing

800
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,799
Terry for at least 6 weeks before I

801
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:42,880
bought this property. And Mike will tell

802
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,440
you, I couldn't get a hold of Mike

803
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,880
because I was trying to get the thing

804
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,600
registered. I called the the University

805
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,320
of University uh police department and

806
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,919
asked the officer. I said, "Dude, how

807
00:32:53,919 --> 00:32:55,679
does a city work?"

808
00:32:55,679 --> 00:32:58,000
>> I call, I leave messages. No one returns

809
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,519
my call. Is there anyone that actually

810
00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:01,600
works in the city? And I'm not saying

811
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,880
this is a bad thing, but I was like,

812
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,399
"Can you help me get a hold of this

813
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:06,960
guy?" because I'm told that you have to

814
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,120
register your property before you even

815
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,000
put it up as I'm sure he so again I've

816
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,840
been trying my best to adhere to

817
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,240
everything but for some reason it's like

818
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,399
a title wave as soon as I came on board

819
00:33:18,399 --> 00:33:20,799
so it doesn't make any sense to me I'll

820
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:22,240
stop there but like that's kind of the

821
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:22,480
story

822
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,679
>> well you know the Belgos owned that

823
00:33:25,679 --> 00:33:28,640
property since 1964

824
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,000
and so for over 60 years the families

825
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,399
had that property and when the neighbor

826
00:33:34,399 --> 00:33:37,519
neighborhood goes through some changes

827
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,080
the you know it's like oh this is

828
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,320
different we have some question we want

829
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,880
to make sure everything's done legally

830
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,240
and properly and I'm sorry you feel

831
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,679
attacked by it and you know by that I

832
00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:53,519
don't think people intended that they

833
00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:55,600
wanted to find out more information

834
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,600
>> well somebody literally parked in front

835
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,720
somebody literally

836
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,919
>> your name what is your name

837
00:33:59,919 --> 00:34:01,039
>> Naveen Naven

838
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:04,799
>> oh okay nice call Okay.

839
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:05,760
>> Yeah, no problem.

840
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,040
>> Thank you. And my on the website, my

841
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,040
phone number's there, too. Okay. You can

842
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,240
reach me if you want.

843
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:12,720
>> Okay.

844
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:15,200
>> But people in the neighborhood had

845
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,440
concerns when things go under, you know,

846
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,359
new changes and things, and we want to

847
00:34:19,359 --> 00:34:21,200
make sure everything's done right. And

848
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,040
I'm glad that you're here and we'll

849
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,159
explain that to the council and we

850
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:28,879
really appreciate that. and I want to

851
00:34:28,879 --> 00:34:32,079
welcome you to the city and uh glad to

852
00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:35,919
have you and uh we we just wanted to get

853
00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:39,919
some answers and I know it feels I I

854
00:34:39,919 --> 00:34:42,079
understand that people stopped by and

855
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:45,520
talked to you and you know when when

856
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,480
changes were coming you know

857
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,079
>> well somebody literally blocked my

858
00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:52,079
driveway and started interrogating me

859
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:54,560
and they had no city official title

860
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,159
>> I think her name is Caroline I'm not

861
00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,160
sure who she is but apparently she's

862
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,000
has this reputation, but I'm sorry if

863
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,560
you come to my property in an unfriendly

864
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,400
manner and you interrogate me and you

865
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,800
have no official role here, that's not

866
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,040
exactly the best way to endear me

867
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,160
towards you. And so again, this is and

868
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,960
this is less than 24 hours of me owning

869
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,280
this property. So again, I'm trying to

870
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,040
understand and I was jokingly saying

871
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,000
this to Terry, like I'm like,

872
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,359
did I come to University Heights or am I

873
00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:27,200
being sent to Guantanamo Bay? Like this

874
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,200
is what this last this last week has

875
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,200
felt like. I'm not going to lie.

876
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,240
>> Yeah. Yeah. Anyway,

877
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:34,079
>> city minister, will you tell me I don't

878
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:35,680
name names, but have you had any

879
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,640
negative contact with any city official?

880
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,400
>> No. That's what I one thing I will be

881
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,320
very clear and I and the email I said

882
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,079
was very clear. Mike's been great.

883
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:46,240
Troy's been great. Terry's been great. I

884
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:49,359
will never speak ill of anyone because

885
00:35:49,359 --> 00:35:51,359
but also try to understand from my

886
00:35:51,359 --> 00:35:52,240
perspective.

887
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:52,720
>> I do

888
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:54,960
>> like I literally approached the city and

889
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,480
said, "I'm thinking about buying. Can

890
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,920
you tell me? Because everyone warned me

891
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,680
about University. Literally, everyone's

892
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,720
like, "Don't buy there. They're crazy."

893
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:05,119
Literally, everyone said this. They're

894
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:06,800
like, "They're crazy. They're they're

895
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,560
hyperontrolling and all this kind of

896
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,880
stuff." And I talked to Terry. And I

897
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,400
talked to Mike. I'm like, "No, they seem

898
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,160
normal." In fact, Terry and I will hold

899
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,520
Terry to this comment. He said, "Don't

900
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,400
worry. Our bark is worse than our bite."

901
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,920
And I'm just standing here before you

902
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,280
saying, "Sorry, that bite feels pretty

903
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,560
strong to me. It feels like a freaking

904
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:27,359
pitbull at the moment." But anyway, so all I ask is like either be straight

905
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:28,720
with your rules.

906
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:29,200
>> I believe

907
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,520
>> if the rules if the rules are no Airbnb

908
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,280
allowed, no anything. I should have been

909
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,560
told that ahead of time, right?

910
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,400
>> Because I wouldn't have bought here.

911
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,160
>> Nav

912
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,839
I believe the city has been consistent

913
00:36:39,839 --> 00:36:40,480
in that,

914
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,119
>> right?

915
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:43,280
>> Some community members may not have been

916
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,960
consistent in that. May wish that it was

917
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,280
otherwise or maybe misinformed.

918
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,119
Well, my fear is that this these the

919
00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:50,560
public pressure is somehow going to

920
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,240
influence the city, which I hope it will

921
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:54,240
not. But again, I'm trying to adhere to

922
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:56,320
the ordinances that as I read, read them

923
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,280
and understand them. And I want to

924
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,520
believe that the public pressure is not

925
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,480
going to somehow color the decisions

926
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,920
that are being made. And that's what I

927
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,119
hope will not be the case going forward.

928
00:37:09,119 --> 00:37:12,000
>> Nick, I had a similar situation when I

929
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,480
moved to town and started doing some

930
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,480
work on Coser Avenue.

931
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,440
Um because I'm a new once an architect

932
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,640
and we were building this complex which

933
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:29,200
was a big deal and um there was work I

934
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,800
was doing some work and I had some

935
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,079
ground thawing machines overnight.

936
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:36,000
Uh, one of the council members called me

937
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,079
and threatened to have me arrested that

938
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:41,280
night and and it went on and on and on,

939
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,320
but they got

940
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,270
>> over

941
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,440
it's I guess it's a hazing ritual. I'm

942
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,680
joining a fraternity as a hazing ritual,

943
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,280
but I hope at some point it ends because

944
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,200
the hazing is a little bit it's wearing

945
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,960
me out.

946
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,960
>> Nick, you see it? I I appreciate you

947
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,160
coming in because I think this is

948
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,880
helpful, you know. Uh with my driveway

949
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,200
for example, I came to council, talked

950
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,400
about it. You know, on MROS, it's very

951
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,800
busy. So getting turned around was very

952
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,280
important to have a driveway like that.

953
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,800
I think, you know, you weren't here

954
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,640
during public comment, but I think a lot

955
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,280
of the concern related to

956
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,880
three different bookings on Airbnb. I

957
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,720
think that was the concern is that

958
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:28,160
>> No, no, but did you look at them closely

959
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,200
or no?

960
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,720
>> Yeah, there Yeah, the the

961
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:32,160
>> No, no, no, but just so you understand.

962
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,240
So, one is basically if you want to just

963
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:37,200
rent a master bedroom. As I said in

964
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,359
Airbnb, you're allowed to take the whole

965
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:41,760
home, you're allowed to take part of the

966
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,000
home or you're allowed to take a room in

967
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,680
a home. And I think I in my email I

968
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,119
there's actually an ordinance I think

969
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:51,280
it's I don't remember off the top of but

970
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,160
I think it's 110.2 two I mean I I wrote

971
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,760
an email to um but like it literally

972
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,640
said that basically and it's applicable

973
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,839
to a dwelling part of a dwelling or a

974
00:39:03,839 --> 00:39:06,960
habitable room. So again, I'm trying to

975
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,680
understand. You're a lawyer, right?

976
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,760
>> I'm trying to understand what about this

977
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,000
am I doing wrong because

978
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,240
>> because I don't need to offer. There's

979
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:17,680
nothing in the ordinance says you have

980
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,320
to offer only your whole or nothing.

981
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:20,720
Right?

982
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:23,119
>> It either it needs to say that or it

983
00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:25,920
needs to not say that. And right now I

984
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,480
can confirm to you affirmatively that it

985
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,400
does not say that you're only allowed to

986
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,800
offer your whole home. Yeah. And I'm

987
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,560
just trying to tell you just what she

988
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,280
had missed is and I'm not the lawyer in

989
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,599
here. I've got a city attorney. So I

990
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:41,280
don't look at me as being a lawyer in

991
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,520
here. Um but the concern was the text on

992
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,480
your postings allude to the ability of

993
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,040
having three separate

994
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,040
renters at the same time. I think that

995
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,280
was what concerned people. And then I

996
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,440
think seeing the the sidewalks to the

997
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,160
different entrances. So again, I'm I'm

998
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,920
explaining this not because I know the

999
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,760
rules on Airbnb because I I know

1000
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,040
probably the least in this room about

1001
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,839
Airbnb. I'm explaining it because that

1002
00:40:07,839 --> 00:40:10,000
is what the concern was. And I don't

1003
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,880
think it was an unreasonable concern for

1004
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,880
people. It seems like they were, you

1005
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,800
know, very clear like, okay, we see now

1006
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,800
three entry points. Now we look on

1007
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,960
Airbnb and there's you can rent the

1008
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,119
whole house. You can rent the where

1009
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:26,320
Kathy used to live or her her bedroom.

1010
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,160
And then there was it was implying you'd

1011
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,599
also be able to potentially at some

1012
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:30,960
point rent the the basement.

1013
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,079
>> No, no, that's not true.

1014
00:40:32,079 --> 00:40:35,040
>> Well, I mean the text on there says

1015
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,280
>> something to the effect of if you if you

1016
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:38,960
rent the main space know that there are

1017
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,079
two other spaces basically. And so on

1018
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:42,400
the

1019
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,079
>> Well, that's more so to tell the person

1020
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:46,480
that I might that's more so to tell the

1021
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,240
person that I'm going to keep I'm I'm

1022
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,400
going to keep the basement for myself.

1023
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,480
There's no basement listing there. For

1024
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,000
the record,

1025
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,319
>> if I choose to rent out the the main two

1026
00:40:56,319 --> 00:40:57,440
floors of my house, that doesn't mean

1027
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,800
that I'm somehow renting out the

1028
00:40:58,800 --> 00:40:59,200
basement,

1029
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,640
>> right? And again, this is coming from

1030
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,440
some nothing about Airbnb. It it was

1031
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,119
just to just so you hopefully feel

1032
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:06,800
better that people weren't out to get

1033
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,880
you. It just from from the outside

1034
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,880
perspective. Three different entrances

1035
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,160
are created. It appears there Airbnb

1036
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,720
signals three different units. So that

1037
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:19,359
is where this No, but again as a lawyer

1038
00:41:19,359 --> 00:41:20,319
no as

1039
00:41:20,319 --> 00:41:21,599
>> it looked like we're going to be like

1040
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:23,680
are we going to be housing 16 people in

1041
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,240
this house? How is like how is this

1042
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:26,960
working?

1043
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,200
>> Okay. Can you look at the Melrose house

1044
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,960
like four doors down from him? They

1045
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,720
literally rent out the whole home to

1046
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:34,960
like a group of small people. Like I'm

1047
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,560
just trying to understand what is

1048
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,839
different about that house than my

1049
00:41:37,839 --> 00:41:38,160
house.

1050
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,760
>> I think these might be Steve questions.

1051
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,760
I like I'm trying to understand like

1052
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,119
>> I don't know. I'm just trying to get

1053
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:44,480
perspective of people. No, no, no. I

1054
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,680
understand. But can you point to the

1055
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,760
ordinance that says there's a

1056
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,079
>> now there's a safety issue.

1057
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:52,079
>> If you could say, well, there's a fire

1058
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:54,319
hazard. Then tell me what ordinance

1059
00:41:54,319 --> 00:41:57,520
points to in rentals that say this is

1060
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,359
the number of people you're allowed to

1061
00:41:59,359 --> 00:42:01,440
have in your home. In fact, every room

1062
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,200
is over 100 square ft, which is

1063
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,520
habitable for two two plus people. So

1064
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,520
again, we can go into the legality of it

1065
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,200
if you want because I've studied this

1066
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,720
pretty reasonably. I'm not looking to

1067
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:14,319
debate it here, but my point is

1068
00:42:14,319 --> 00:42:17,280
I'm trying to understand like like what

1069
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,280
exactly like unless you can point to a

1070
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,359
specific thing I'm doing wrong,

1071
00:42:21,359 --> 00:42:22,800
>> I don't think I don't think you are

1072
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,640
doing anything wrong. I think just there

1073
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,359
was a perspective that what is going on

1074
00:42:27,359 --> 00:42:29,680
and now that you come and we all are

1075
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,119
going to be able to relate to your

1076
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:33,119
neighbors um we'll be you'll feel very

1077
00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:35,680
welcome community and neighborhood.

1078
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:36,880
women need to be welcomed. Like, how

1079
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,319
about I mean, I don't know how to say

1080
00:42:38,319 --> 00:42:40,960
this, but I just want to be left alone.

1081
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,560
Like, not by you people, but like by the

1082
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,960
people who are who are like blocking my

1083
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,359
driveway and like interrogating me.

1084
00:42:47,359 --> 00:42:48,400
>> Like, at this point, just leave me

1085
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,680
alone. Like, that's kind of where I'm

1086
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,160
at. I had to police. I know. I know

1087
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,640
that. I agree. I don't think the city is

1088
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,560
I had to do two police service calls

1089
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,040
because people were stalking my home

1090
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,720
>> and the city's been consistent and that

1091
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:04,079
you're haven't done anything wrong. the city inspectors.

1092
00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:05,119
>> I agree with you. I agree with you.

1093
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:08,160
>> So So I think the city and the ordinance

1094
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,560
>> the ordinances and the counselors have

1095
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:11,440
been consistent.

1096
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,640
>> I agree with you.

1097
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,200
>> I can't I can't

1098
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,880
stop somebody in the community from

1099
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,480
coming up and exp express expressing

1100
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,480
displeasure with what you're doing. I

1101
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:21,680
absolutely agree with you. The city

1102
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,760
needs to be consistent. The city needs

1103
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,760
to follow its ordinances and they need

1104
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,760
to be consistently appi applied across

1105
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,760
the community. I would say that they are

1106
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,119
unless you can give me the example that

1107
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:32,560
they aren't.

1108
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,839
That doesn't mean that there's not going

1109
00:43:33,839 --> 00:43:35,839
to be somebody on your street or across

1110
00:43:35,839 --> 00:43:38,240
town that's upset with it, but I believe

1111
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:40,240
we are acting as fairly and consistently

1112
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,400
as we can toward No, I I totally agree

1113
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:42,880
with that.

1114
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:43,520
>> Okay.

1115
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,160
>> I guess it's it's more I'll stop.

1116
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,319
>> The neighbor was here. This is exactly

1117
00:43:48,319 --> 00:43:50,880
what I was hoping to get is what is the

1118
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,800
law? Are we are somebody allowed to have

1119
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,839
three discrete Airbnbs in a home? Four,

1120
00:43:55,839 --> 00:43:57,839
five, is there any limit? What is, you

1121
00:43:57,839 --> 00:44:00,960
know, that's what I was asking. Yes.

1122
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,800
>> Okay. Do you know that, Steve? I mean,

1123
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,880
do you are you an Airbnb person?

1124
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,200
>> Sure.

1125
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,119
>> There's there's like no state

1126
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:12,880
regulations. I mean, that it goes into

1127
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,119
like there's and you could probably say

1128
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:18,240
more, but yeah, it goes into like the

1129
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:20,240
city can regulate things where there's

1130
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:23,119
no banquet all, no events. I don't

1131
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:26,640
really know what constitutes an event um

1132
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,319
like within the Airbnbs and then

1133
00:44:28,319 --> 00:44:30,960
obviously all that safety things, but

1134
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,280
really there's not much that we could

1135
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,800
say on as a city.

1136
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,640
>> Okay.

1137
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,200
Sorry.

1138
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,480
>> Were you going to stay?

1139
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,800
You don't have anything to add right

1140
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,560
yet? Or do you have anything to comment

1141
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,640
on before we end this?

1142
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,960
>> I do not. Now we have a better

1143
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,760
understanding and you know who we are

1144
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,400
and where we are and how to contact us,

1145
00:44:58,400 --> 00:44:58,720
right?

1146
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:00,079
>> Yeah. I hope you don't I hope no one

1147
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:02,160
here feels like I'm attacking them

1148
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,960
>> cuz like I like like Troy said like the

1149
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,599
city the city itself has been great. The

1150
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:09,280
sorry the city administration has been

1151
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:09,839
great.

1152
00:45:09,839 --> 00:45:10,319
>> Thank you.

1153
00:45:10,319 --> 00:45:13,119
>> I just don't know how to interpret like

1154
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:16,160
I've lived in many parts of the US.

1155
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,960
>> The Northeast, the South. I've never

1156
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,720
experienced this. This is supposed to be

1157
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:22,560
Iowa nice.

1158
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,640
>> Like like I don't get it. So anyway,

1159
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,079
I'll leave I'll leave it there. Thank

1160
00:45:26,079 --> 00:45:26,480
you.

1161
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,240
>> Thank you very much for coming tonight.

1162
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:30,240
Thank you. And thank you, Aaron.

1163
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:33,920
>> Okay. So, uh, we'll go on to, uh,

1164
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,520
mayor's report and, uh, as Troy said in

1165
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:43,200
his report about the, uh, Swisser Woods

1166
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,920
Trails Project, the first order is

1167
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,000
consideration a motion to set a public

1168
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,760
hearing on September 22nd at 7 p.m. for

1169
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,839
the Swisser Woods Trail Project. And

1170
00:45:55,839 --> 00:45:59,680
since this is a procedural thing, uh,

1171
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,119
I'm going to put it under mayor's

1172
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:04,880
report. And so, is there a motion?

1173
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,520
by Lisa. Is there a second?

1174
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:12,319
by Nick. Thank you. Um, any

1175
00:46:12,319 --> 00:46:14,560
discussion?

1176
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,560
All in favor say I.

1177
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:17,280
>> I.

1178
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,520
>> Does anyone oppose? Same. N. Okay.

1179
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,920
Motion carries. 401 absent.

1180
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,160
Thank you. Troy will talk more about it

1181
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,960
during his report. And then we have the

1182
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,800
uh consideration of a motion to

1183
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,960
reimburse the reimburse the property

1184
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,720
owner at 300 koser one half the cost of

1185
00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:42,160
removing a dying tree in the rightway.

1186
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,119
and Steve spoke with him and

1187
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:48,400
communicated and as you know the city

1188
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:53,680
has paid 50% of partially dead trees for

1189
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,720
the homeowner and so Steve spoke with

1190
00:46:56,720 --> 00:46:58,640
him. Did you have anything to add?

1191
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,920
>> No, he was he was happy

1192
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,200
and happy to

1193
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,079
>> Yeah. So we can proceed with that. It's

1194
00:47:06,079 --> 00:47:09,920
on the corner of Cozer and Sunset.

1195
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,920
And so, uh, is there a motion?

1196
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,160
by Lisa. Is there a second?

1197
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,760
by Nick. Um,

1198
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,240
any discussion?

1199
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:25,119
All in favor say I. I. I. Is anyone

1200
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:27,200
opposed?

1201
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,000
Okay. Motion carries. 41

1202
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000
absent.

1203
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,280
And then uh Steve, did you have anything

1204
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:36,400
to add tonight?

1205
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,480
>> No, I meant to send an email saying I

1206
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,240
didn't have anything to add tonight, but

1207
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:42,560
I don't.

1208
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,599
>> Thank you. Any questions for Steve?

1209
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:48,240
We'll go on to Troy's report.

1210
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:48,800
>> Sure.

1211
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:49,359
>> Thank you.

1212
00:47:49,359 --> 00:47:51,040
>> I want to touch briefly on some of the

1213
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,560
items in my report and then there's a

1214
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,960
second matter we need to discuss also. I

1215
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,079
first of all appreciate council's

1216
00:47:58,079 --> 00:47:59,680
understanding of some of the issues that

1217
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,160
took me away from from the city here in

1218
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,160
the last month. My report's relatively

1219
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,480
short because of that. Mostly I wanted

1220
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,240
to update you on the Swisser track

1221
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:11,280
trails development. Uh

1222
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,359
city engineer Ryan, the mayor and I met

1223
00:48:13,359 --> 00:48:15,599
with the design team. The final design

1224
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:18,400
is complete. I had sent out along with

1225
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,000
my report to uh council and staff and

1226
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,200
the mayor the final construction

1227
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:34,000
documents which includes some imagery of some of the features as well as some CAD drawings of of the project. Uh

1228
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,760
the trails project is will be bid or

1229
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,480
presented as two separate projects. They

1230
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,319
differ enough in construction. One is

1231
00:48:42,319 --> 00:48:44,079
basically a sidewalk and the other is

1232
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:47,599
soft trails. Uh the sidewalk here to the

1233
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:50,319
north of OUP will be bid as one project

1234
00:48:50,319 --> 00:48:52,319
and then all of the soft trail system as

1235
00:48:52,319 --> 00:48:55,280
a second. Uh we're going to do the same

1236
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,400
we're going to co or do the timing

1237
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,000
of it all the bidding and the issuance

1238
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,400
at the same time just to cut down on

1239
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,800
special meetings and because they do

1240
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,240
intertwine. However, in talking with uh

1241
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:10,319
Bolts and Mink,

1242
00:49:10,319 --> 00:49:12,960
it's likely that there will be different

1243
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:18,240
biders for each project because they're completely different

1244
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:22,319
scope and process. Uh the bid packages

1245
00:49:22,319 --> 00:49:25,280
were prepared by Pton M by Bolton M and

1246
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,440
sat down and Ryan was particularly Ryan

1247
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,160
Poy was particularly good to have there.

1248
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,680
uh even though some of this falls

1249
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,079
outside of what his area of experience

1250
00:49:34,079 --> 00:49:36,319
and expertise is, he was able to help

1251
00:49:36,319 --> 00:49:38,800
tremendously with timelines and saying

1252
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,480
this is a piece that the city can handle

1253
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,400
and this is a piece that it' be better

1254
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,640
that maybe Bolts and Mink took care of.

1255
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,400
The opinion of probable construction

1256
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,440
costs for the entire project uh are come

1257
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,000
in right around $700,000 and those are

1258
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,160
the construction costs. That doesn't

1259
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,800
include the fees that we pay for design

1260
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,280
or any fees that for a contract that we

1261
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,960
enter into as far as helping assess the

1262
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,000
bids and oversight of construction. I

1263
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,760
know the mayor and I thought maybe she'd

1264
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,440
talk about it in her report, but I know

1265
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,960
the mayor has been exploring uh some

1266
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,680
options for maybe soliciting some donor

1267
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,200
funding for various

1268
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,680
>> talked about that a little. Yeah.

1269
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:20,319
>> Yeah.

1270
00:50:20,319 --> 00:50:22,559
>> Tenative timetable. I wanted to update

1271
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:25,040
this since I was not able to do it last

1272
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,640
month's report. Uh notice will go out

1273
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,319
this week on the public hearing.

1274
00:50:30,319 --> 00:50:32,240
September 22nd will be the public

1275
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:33,839
hearing which will require a special

1276
00:50:33,839 --> 00:50:37,119
council meeting. Bids will be due. I

1277
00:50:37,119 --> 00:50:38,960
believe my timeline's correct. Bids will

1278
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,960
be due October 20th. Uh those bids will

1279
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,240
be open then and assessed and a special

1280
00:50:46,240 --> 00:50:49,520
meeting will occur on o October 27th at

1281
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,640
which time hopefully we'll award bids.

1282
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,200
Preliminary work on the trails could

1283
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,400
begin as early as November. Uh that

1284
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,240
could you know involve coming in and

1285
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:02,160
doing some clearing some staging things

1286
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,400
like that. But the bulk of the work is

1287
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,280
actually now expected to occur between

1288
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,559
April of next year with substantial

1289
00:51:10,559 --> 00:51:14,240
completion date by June 15th, final

1290
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:17,119
completion date by July 15. That's our

1291
00:51:17,119 --> 00:51:19,839
current timetable. The projects may not

1292
00:51:19,839 --> 00:51:22,240
move in parallel with each other once

1293
00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:24,400
bids awarded.

1294
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,480
Again,

1295
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,079
depending on how they're awarded and who

1296
00:51:28,079 --> 00:51:29,520
gets it, somebody might come in and do

1297
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,680
all the work early. Somebody might come

1298
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,760
in later. They might be going on for the

1299
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,160
same time. Uh contractual

1300
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:37,760
considerations.

1301
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:39,520
Bolton Mink is currently engaged to

1302
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,119
complete the final design and prepare

1303
00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:42,720
the bid package, which is now two

1304
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,720
separate bid packages. Once they

1305
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,920
complete that work for us, they're done

1306
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,040
contractually with what we engage them

1307
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,359
to do uh in reviewing process. Now, as

1308
00:51:55,359 --> 00:51:58,880
to what happens next, uh city staff and

1309
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,359
particularly the city engineer are

1310
00:52:01,359 --> 00:52:03,280
heavily involved in some other

1311
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,040
substantial projects right now in

1312
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,680
University Heights, uh kind of running

1313
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,880
at capacity as far as the ability to do

1314
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,200
the oversight on this. And while the

1315
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,119
sidewalk portion of it is something that

1316
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:18,240
Ryan said he is familiar with and could

1317
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:20,559
potentially handle, the soft trails

1318
00:52:20,559 --> 00:52:24,079
again just falls out of that area of

1319
00:52:24,079 --> 00:52:28,079
experience and area of expertise. Uh and

1320
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:30,880
conversation with city staff and with

1321
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,559
the mayor. Uh I think I think that

1322
00:52:34,559 --> 00:52:36,480
council should consider further engaging

1323
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,160
Bolton Mink to assist with a bid

1324
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,000
evaluation and the construction

1325
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,880
oversight. Uh, I spoke with Ryan

1326
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,800
Anderson of Bolton, one of the design

1327
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,720
chairs that we we've been dealing with,

1328
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:49,359
and I asked him to provide a proposal to

1329
00:52:49,359 --> 00:52:51,440
me to present to council to fulfill that

1330
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,000
role. I do not have that yet, but in

1331
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,280
conversation with Ryan today, uh, for

1332
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,000
both projects

1333
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,760
and doing the work that we talked about

1334
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,520
when we last met, uh, he expected costs

1335
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,480
to be around $55,000

1336
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,119
for that bid evaluation, assist with us

1337
00:53:11,119 --> 00:53:14,880
with bid bid evaluation and then

1338
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,720
oversight of the actual construction.

1339
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:19,040
Again, I'm not asking for approval or

1340
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:20,559
presenting them to council, but I just

1341
00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:22,000
want them to be aware.

1342
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,040
>> Do you know off the top of your head

1343
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,280
when Josh talks about like the Corville

1344
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,200
trails up by Wickham and when they did

1345
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,599
those? Did did Bowman name do see a full

1346
00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:31,280
bill? Do you know if they saw a whole

1347
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:32,720
project through that? I guess most of

1348
00:53:32,720 --> 00:53:34,480
that was in

1349
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,119
>> I do not know if they're city

1350
00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:38,480
engineering.

1351
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:39,839
>> I be I do not

1352
00:53:39,839 --> 00:53:42,240
>> just be curious to know if uh what

1353
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:44,960
Backyard Trails had a role in that

1354
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,079
actually. I think they did some of the

1355
00:53:46,079 --> 00:53:47,440
construction of that if I'm remembering

1356
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,400
correctly.

1357
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,119
>> Backyard trails was under contract with

1358
00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:53,680
Bolton Mink to come out and state this

1359
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,319
and and has had a role in getting this

1360
00:53:56,319 --> 00:53:58,319
project as far as it as it is is right

1361
00:53:58,319 --> 00:54:00,559
now. Uh I think that one of the

1362
00:54:00,559 --> 00:54:05,440
considerations that Bolton Mink had is

1363
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,599
would backyard trails be a bidder or

1364
00:54:07,599 --> 00:54:10,240
would they be willing to cons to stay on

1365
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:12,240
as that oversight role since they know

1366
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:13,520
what they're doing and making sure that

1367
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:17,440
it's done right. But I don't know who was in motivated.

1368
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,599
>> Okay. I I mean I just

1369
00:54:19,599 --> 00:54:21,839
>> Yeah. So that's the information that I

1370
00:54:21,839 --> 00:54:23,760
wanted to just bring you up to speed on.

1371
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,440
I had no update on you that for that

1372
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,359
last month. I do have additional

1373
00:54:27,359 --> 00:54:30,079
materials. I have the project manuals

1374
00:54:30,079 --> 00:54:33,520
for each project. Uh they're 50-page

1375
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,440
documents.

1376
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:36,720
They're something that I wasn't sure

1377
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:38,800
council would be interested in. If you

1378
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,559
would like to see those, I certainly can

1379
00:54:40,559 --> 00:54:42,559
get that information to you. But I

1380
00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:44,559
thought the construction documents

1381
00:54:44,559 --> 00:54:46,079
probably had most of the pertinent

1382
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:48,000
information that council wanted to see.

1383
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,319
Are there any questions on the trail

1384
00:54:50,319 --> 00:54:51,680
system other than the one Mackenzie

1385
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,520
already asked?

1386
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,839
>> It's exciting. It's all on us

1387
00:54:55,839 --> 00:54:58,319
>> and and I also think it's exciting. I I

1388
00:54:58,319 --> 00:55:02,240
think that the city and staff and I just

1389
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:04,640
think we've done a really good job of of

1390
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,240
building momentum on this and and

1391
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:09,920
building enthusiasm for it. So, thank

1392
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,480
you, Mackenzie. I wanted to touch

1393
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,520
finally on one other item and that's my

1394
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,359
port. There's a property down there and

1395
00:55:17,359 --> 00:55:18,720
I don't need to call it out. If you want

1396
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:20,000
to go down there and see it, you're

1397
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:24,319
welcome to. Uh the homeowners have two

1398
00:55:24,319 --> 00:55:26,240
small children. They live on the inside

1399
00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:29,200
radius of Mahaska port. They are

1400
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,319
concerned with speed of vehicles. If you

1401
00:55:32,319 --> 00:55:34,880
are in that area ever, uh they have a

1402
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,040
couple signs along the rideway that ask

1403
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,800
to slow down. uh they approximately six

1404
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,000
weeks ago spoke with a fence installer,

1405
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,880
a contractor, and expressed a desire to

1406
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,480
put in a fence in the front yard. And

1407
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,160
they looked with the contractor. They

1408
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:53,839
were assured that what they were doing

1409
00:55:53,839 --> 00:55:56,559
could be done. They were told they could

1410
00:55:56,559 --> 00:55:58,400
have up to a 48 in fence. They didn't

1411
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,559
want a 48 in fence. They cut it down to

1412
00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:03,920
42. It's a white pickup fence. I think

1413
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,799
it's a very attractive fence. It's been

1414
00:56:06,799 --> 00:56:08,640
there for six weeks, more than six weeks

1415
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,960
now. Uh, at some point recently, the

1416
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,839
female property owner, Christina,

1417
00:56:15,839 --> 00:56:17,760
began to doubt whether the fence was in

1418
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,480
compliance, and she contacted me. The

1419
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,640
city had not received any calls from any

1420
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,559
neighbors. They not received any

1421
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:26,640
complaints. She had not received any

1422
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,599
complaints. She just began to doubt

1423
00:56:29,599 --> 00:56:32,079
whether there was in compliance. And the

1424
00:56:32,079 --> 00:56:35,119
issue is it's on the public right away.

1425
00:56:35,119 --> 00:56:37,119
It's a side of the street that does not

1426
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:39,680
have a sidewalk and they took it up to

1427
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:44,160
approximately one foot off the curb. Uh

1428
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,680
she was interested in potentially

1429
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,920
obtaining a variance

1430
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,799
and our ordinance allow variances for

1431
00:56:50,799 --> 00:56:52,480
fences don't go to our board of

1432
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,319
adjustment. They come to council. But I

1433
00:56:54,319 --> 00:56:57,119
spoke with the city. I spoke with Terry

1434
00:56:57,119 --> 00:57:00,319
and confirmed with Terry and Terry said

1435
00:57:00,319 --> 00:57:02,880
he would he could not support a variance

1436
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,359
that he would he would say that the city

1437
00:57:05,359 --> 00:57:07,839
could not issue one. Uh this basically

1438
00:57:07,839 --> 00:57:09,680
the rideway is part of the roadway. It's

1439
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,240
just not paved and there were all sorts

1440
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:14,880
of issues including liability

1441
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,920
uh problems with snow removal

1442
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,400
things like that. I contacted the owner

1443
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,079
and told her that the owner is a

1444
00:57:22,079 --> 00:57:24,000
self-described rule follower. She was

1445
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,000
obviously disappointed. The fence

1446
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,880
remains there now, but arrangements are

1447
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,640
being made to either be located or

1448
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,720
remove it. I wanted council to be aware

1449
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,400
of it in case you of it now that it's in

1450
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,440
by the city, but that's my other.

1451
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,599
Any questions about that?

1452
00:57:41,599 --> 00:57:43,280
Then the last thing that I would like to

1453
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,040
address isn't included in my report, but

1454
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,200
it's consideration of a request for

1455
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:51,119
amplified sound for a concert at 1009

1456
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:54,319
Melrose Avenue from 2:00 p.m. to 5:30

1457
00:57:54,319 --> 00:57:57,520
p.m. on September 12th, 2026. That's

1458
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,599
next Saturday. That's the Iowa Iowa

1459
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:03,680
State football game. Uh, and just as a

1460
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,559
refresher to council, or maybe they're

1461
00:58:06,559 --> 00:58:09,119
all aware of this and maybe they aren't,

1462
00:58:09,119 --> 00:58:12,000
our noise ordinance, which was adopted

1463
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,880
in 2007, if I remember correctly, is

1464
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,799
prohibitive.

1465
00:58:16,799 --> 00:58:20,000
It it says that activities can't like

1466
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,240
this cannot happen. Uh, really, it

1467
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,559
breaks things down into I mean, the

1468
00:58:24,559 --> 00:58:26,240
purpose excessive noise is a serious

1469
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:27,920
hazard to public health and welfare and

1470
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,520
the quality of life. The purpose of this

1471
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,760
ordinance is to establish standards for

1472
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,040
control of noise pollution that

1473
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,559
interfere with the comfortable enjoyment

1474
00:58:34,559 --> 00:58:36,400
of life, property, recreation or the

1475
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,799
conduct of business. And then it goes

1476
00:58:38,799 --> 00:58:40,960
into specific activities provide are

1477
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,640
prohibited and there's three under the

1478
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,960
ordinance. One is construction equipment

1479
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,000
and it says it gives period of operation

1480
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,960
for construction equipment. And the

1481
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,599
second the largest section section B is

1482
00:58:55,599 --> 00:58:58,160
no person shall you shall use operate

1483
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,119
cost to be used operate any radio player

1484
00:59:01,119 --> 00:59:04,000
stereot and it goes on that any sort of

1485
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,520
amplified sound amplifying sound upon

1486
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,839
public streets or in any building upon

1487
00:59:09,839 --> 00:59:12,480
any pre premises public or private. And

1488
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,040
it goes on and it talks about that. And

1489
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,319
then the section C, the third one is

1490
00:59:18,319 --> 00:59:20,720
basically any other loud noises that are

1491
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,359
prohibited. And it talks about that.

1492
00:59:23,359 --> 00:59:25,440
Again, it's prohibited. It doesn't give

1493
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,640
it doesn't outline any process to apply

1494
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:30,480
for a permit for it to happen. It just

1495
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,200
says thou shalt not under special

1496
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,079
exceptions. It talks about FARs. It

1497
00:59:36,079 --> 00:59:38,319
talks about

1498
00:59:38,319 --> 00:59:41,119
the city. uh the city if they wanted to

1499
00:59:41,119 --> 00:59:43,359
have a concert in the park they could. I

1500
00:59:43,359 --> 00:59:45,040
mean the city is allowed to make any

1501
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,559
kind of noise that it wants in the

1502
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:49,440
conduct of it of its business. But

1503
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,599
nowhere in the exceptions does it say

1504
00:59:51,599 --> 00:59:54,720
anything about amplified music.

1505
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,880
The

1506
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:58,799
instruction

1507
00:59:58,799 --> 01:00:01,359
part of it oh shoot where did that go?

1508
01:00:01,359 --> 01:00:04,000
the it talks about

1509
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,720
if I'm doing construction and for some

1510
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,760
reason I can't conduct

1511
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,280
the construction that needs to be done

1512
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,400
during those hours then I can come

1513
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,079
specifically to city council and I can

1514
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:18,240
try to explain that and I can try to get

1515
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,599
an exemption but that is only for the

1516
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:26,640
construction noise the amplified music

1517
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,960
it talks about

1518
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,720
close to me so I can open it back up

1519
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:42,549
Thank you. Uh

1520
01:00:42,559 --> 01:00:45,440
don't mind that section. Okay.

1521
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,319
>> It talks about

1522
01:00:48,319 --> 01:00:51,200
that somebody can shoot. Hold on just a

1523
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,760
second. I apologize for this. I had the

1524
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:59,750
shut down.

1525
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:01,680
So under the construction unless aa

1526
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,359
permit thereafter has been obtained from

1527
01:01:03,359 --> 01:01:04,720
the city of university height city

1528
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,319
council that's specifically for

1529
01:01:06,319 --> 01:01:09,280
construction equipment under the

1530
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:19,750
amplified music

1531
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:24,160
you remember Chris said it was I think

1532
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,960
So, Steve Lynchure.

1533
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,280
All right. Here. Uh, so it talks about

1534
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,680
all the amplified music, whether it's

1535
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:36,160
tape deck, etc., etc., uh, unless the

1536
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,079
person has a permit or express

1537
01:01:38,079 --> 01:01:40,559
permission from the city. Now, in my

1538
01:01:40,559 --> 01:01:42,480
five years as police chief, when

1539
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,240
somebody called in and asked about

1540
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,799
having an event that included amplified

1541
01:01:46,799 --> 01:01:49,119
music, I'm thinking of cases where they

1542
01:01:49,119 --> 01:01:52,240
asked for a DJ or a wedding, a small

1543
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,400
family wedding if they were hosting the

1544
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,160
reception in their backyard or a

1545
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:57,920
graduation party and they wanted to play

1546
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,799
music in their backyard. Those requests

1547
01:02:00,799 --> 01:02:02,799
went to the police department. That

1548
01:02:02,799 --> 01:02:04,720
inquiry went to the police department

1549
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:09,119
and much like a permission to park uh

1550
01:02:09,119 --> 01:02:12,559
contrary to posted signage, those

1551
01:02:12,559 --> 01:02:14,079
requests go to the police department and

1552
01:02:14,079 --> 01:02:15,680
the police department would assess the

1553
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,079
situation and say this isn't going to

1554
01:02:18,079 --> 01:02:20,799
work or what exactly were you thinking

1555
01:02:20,799 --> 01:02:23,760
of as far as amplified music? How can we

1556
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,960
help you make this be a success?

1557
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,640
understand that the ordinance is still

1558
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,040
in effect and if you try to do this and

1559
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,520
if we get complaints

1560
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:34,960
I'm going to send an officer down and

1561
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,400
the officer is going to tell you

1562
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,240
reposition your speakers turn it down or

1563
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,160
shut it off and if we continue to get

1564
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,079
you're going to have to shut it off but

1565
01:02:42,079 --> 01:02:44,480
the requests that were considered were

1566
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,480
always the ones that I have personal

1567
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,599
experience with were for some personal

1568
01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:51,359
event that was happening on the property

1569
01:02:51,359 --> 01:02:54,079
and it was relatively small scale I am

1570
01:02:54,079 --> 01:02:57,040
told by Mike the city clerk and by the

1571
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,559
mayor that in the past requests have

1572
01:03:00,559 --> 01:03:02,880
gone to city council for events such as

1573
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,480
this. Uh and again the ordinance doesn't

1574
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,119
give a process for obtaining the permit.

1575
01:03:09,119 --> 01:03:12,880
It's prohibited but it says unless the

1576
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,559
city expressly allows it. So when Mike

1577
01:03:16,559 --> 01:03:20,079
was approached by the organizer of this

1578
01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:22,160
event,

1579
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,559
Mike referred him, we contacted the

1580
01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:26,559
mayor and referred him to city council

1581
01:03:26,559 --> 01:03:30,000
as far as having it put on the agenda

1582
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,839
for council to consider.

1583
01:03:33,839 --> 01:03:35,760
Council certainly can do whatever they

1584
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,480
want. This is exactly the type of an

1585
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,559
event that we as a individual person

1586
01:03:42,559 --> 01:03:44,319
think that it'd be great to attend on a

1587
01:03:44,319 --> 01:03:46,559
football Saturday. But as city

1588
01:03:46,559 --> 01:03:48,079
administrator and reading through the

1589
01:03:48,079 --> 01:03:50,480
ordinances, again, I read this to be

1590
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:54,160
prohibitive. This event is not uh the

1591
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,200
organizer. This is a a young and

1592
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,400
upcoming band that that they would like

1593
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,880
to promote and get some exposure. The

1594
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,640
property that they are proposing putting

1595
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:09,440
it on is down the corner of Boer and uh

1596
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,119
Melrose. Will it excessively contribute

1597
01:04:13,119 --> 01:04:15,280
to the noise that is already going on on

1598
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:16,480
the other side of the bridge on a

1599
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,880
football Saturday? No, I don't think so.

1600
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:20,880
I don't think that it will. Will it

1601
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,119
contribute to fun in the streets? Yeah,

1602
01:04:23,119 --> 01:04:25,440
I think that it probably will. But I

1603
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,359
still think the ordinance is prohibitive

1604
01:04:27,359 --> 01:04:29,839
from a staff perspect

1605
01:04:29,839 --> 01:04:31,599
perspective. I think the ordinance is

1606
01:04:31,599 --> 01:04:33,760
prohibitive and having dealt with this

1607
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:37,359
before when for example the hotel wanted

1608
01:04:37,359 --> 01:04:39,760
to and did host a band out there. I mean

1609
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:45,200
I think that I believe that the purpose

1610
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,039
of the ordinance was so that council did

1611
01:04:47,039 --> 01:04:49,119
not have to consider these on a

1612
01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:52,240
case-byase basis and set some very rigid

1613
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:53,760
guidelines.

1614
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,400
uh it does allow somebody to come in and

1615
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,599
petition council uh and it is certainly

1616
01:04:59,599 --> 01:05:02,000
within council's prerogative to approve

1617
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,720
this but I just wanted to share the

1618
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:08,799
history and the thank you my orders. I

1619
01:05:08,799 --> 01:05:12,319
think that we have council approved

1620
01:05:12,319 --> 01:05:14,799
football rules and regulations and I

1621
01:05:14,799 --> 01:05:17,839
asked Mike to put them up and I thought

1622
01:05:17,839 --> 01:05:20,079
putting this on the agenda might be good

1623
01:05:20,079 --> 01:05:23,280
at the beginning of the season so people

1624
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,839
can see that this is what council likes.

1625
01:05:27,839 --> 01:05:31,280
And if you look down to maybe number

1626
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,280
five or so or

1627
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,440
>> it quotes ordinance 159 which is the

1628
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,760
ordinance that I was reading and then it

1629
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:39,599
specifically calls out that there's no

1630
01:05:39,599 --> 01:05:40,720
amplified music.

1631
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,079
>> Yeah. No amplified music. So, I think

1632
01:05:44,079 --> 01:05:46,720
that answers the question and this is,

1633
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:50,079
you know, football, but Troy, it's good

1634
01:05:50,079 --> 01:05:52,079
to go through the history of it and what

1635
01:05:52,079 --> 01:05:56,640
our ordinance says and uh I think it

1636
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,400
doesn't need to go in front of the

1637
01:05:58,400 --> 01:05:59,359
council.

1638
01:05:59,359 --> 01:06:00,319
>> No, a council

1639
01:06:00,319 --> 01:06:01,280
>> with uh

1640
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,119
>> council certainly has the prerogative to

1641
01:06:03,119 --> 01:06:05,200
do whatever they want. So, I want to

1642
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:06,880
make sure that they're aware of that and

1643
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,200
the petitioner in this case was referred

1644
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,160
to. So, I'm letting I'm letting that

1645
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,559
happen. I mean, I I I did not send it to

1646
01:06:14,559 --> 01:06:14,960
Chris.

1647
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,559
>> The other thing that's happened was some

1648
01:06:16,559 --> 01:06:20,799
outdoor vending of merchandise or food

1649
01:06:20,799 --> 01:06:24,079
on private property and that also

1650
01:06:24,079 --> 01:06:27,440
happened this game. And so I think it's

1651
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,240
good to bring this to the attention of

1652
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,359
all the residents in a public meeting

1653
01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:37,039
that these things are not allowed and uh

1654
01:06:37,039 --> 01:06:43,190
unless council wants to consider this

1655
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:44,799
» this

1656
01:06:44,799 --> 01:06:49,029
request

1657
01:06:49,039 --> 01:06:50,400
or a speaker

1658
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,119
>> not an ampi speaker

1659
01:06:53,119 --> 01:06:56,559
>> what's the difference there I a regular

1660
01:06:56,559 --> 01:06:59,039
like they're the regular speakers aren't

1661
01:06:59,039 --> 01:07:03,119
going to last like my TV speakers might

1662
01:07:03,119 --> 01:07:06,480
get really loud but not to

1663
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,039
>> Right. Well, it can get pretty loud.

1664
01:07:09,039 --> 01:07:10,720
>> Yeah. on

1665
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,039
>> we've we've had other experiences

1666
01:07:13,039 --> 01:07:15,119
>> houses you know I mean we have several

1667
01:07:15,119 --> 01:07:18,319
houses that we've had

1668
01:07:18,319 --> 01:07:22,400
on both sides of that have big steepers

1669
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:26,160
I mean the red practices on grand avenue

1670
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,839
that uses amplifiers

1671
01:07:29,839 --> 01:07:32,400
>> you can't they're they don't use the

1672
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,319
fire department but like you have you

1673
01:07:34,319 --> 01:07:37,280
have to like walk at the there

1674
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:38,640
>> point of this is

1675
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:39,839
>> I I'm just asking

1676
01:07:39,839 --> 01:07:43,280
>> we said that you know I'm paying but

1677
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,520
day there's a reason that we have

1678
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,319
business

1679
01:07:48,319 --> 01:07:51,920
that the council for Nick Avenue

1680
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,520
>> I I have a good question the outer

1681
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,400
vending merchandise is food included in

1682
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,000
that if I'm paying for all of it and

1683
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:03,190
just the people

1684
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:04,960
» you're allowed you're allowed to sell or

1685
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,920
bend any any item that is

1686
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,480
>> or that is prepared on their body. So

1687
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,079
technically

1688
01:08:12,079 --> 01:08:14,720
>> like Maggie's game last year, we got ice

1689
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:15,520
people coming this

1690
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,719
>> the Girl Scouts couldn't go buy water

1691
01:08:18,719 --> 01:08:21,279
from the store and

1692
01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:22,880
>> yet they could make lemonade and sell

1693
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,920
lemonade. So, uh, and as far as the in

1694
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,000
application, Tim, as far as the noise

1695
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:29,679
ordinance, I mean, the noises that are

1696
01:08:29,679 --> 01:08:31,679
allowed on football game because it's to

1697
01:08:31,679 --> 01:08:33,600
the disturbance of the neighborhood are

1698
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,239
different than what would be allowed on

1699
01:08:36,239 --> 01:08:39,839
a Tuesday night because if I'm down on

1700
01:08:39,839 --> 01:08:43,120
in Mike's backyard on golf, I have to be

1701
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:44,799
able to be heard over the sound that is

1702
01:08:44,799 --> 01:08:46,560
coming, you know? So, it's it's not like

1703
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,480
there's some riskreward that's in in

1704
01:08:48,480 --> 01:08:50,880
effect, but it is to the disturbance of

1705
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,279
the neighborhood. And in this case

1706
01:08:53,279 --> 01:08:57,679
particular it's it's a it's a band that

1707
01:08:57,679 --> 01:09:00,400
is is playing purely or being asked to

1708
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,279
perform purely to promote

1709
01:09:03,279 --> 01:09:04,319
the band.

1710
01:09:04,319 --> 01:09:07,359
>> Yeah. And that event but there's nothing

1711
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:08,640
there's no admission being charged. Let

1712
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:09,839
me be clear of that. There's no

1713
01:09:09,839 --> 01:09:12,080
admission being charged. It is purely

1714
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,080
for exposure for the van.

1715
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:15,600
>> Are the owners of the property are they

1716
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:16,640
there that day?

1717
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,040
>> They are not. It is a rental property.

1718
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,120
uh that the owners I've not talked to

1719
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,120
them but Mike has confirmed that they

1720
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,080
>> I have spoken to them and they're aware

1721
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:31,679
of the resident and the owners

1722
01:09:31,679 --> 01:09:33,440
that there's

1723
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:35,279
>> the owner was approached by the

1724
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:37,199
organizer promoter of this event and

1725
01:09:37,199 --> 01:09:39,920
said hey could I do this and you and the

1726
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,560
owners of the property said we don't

1727
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,080
care

1728
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,640
in the concert a couple years ago Kitty

1729
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,239
corner

1730
01:09:48,239 --> 01:09:50,640
That was a city function. So that's

1731
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:51,199
different.

1732
01:09:51,199 --> 01:09:58,470
>> That is allowed and it wasn't Yeah.

1733
01:09:58,480 --> 01:10:02,880
» I asked the police to look at how

1734
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,360
>> I mean it's on a postage staff property.

1735
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:05,920
>> Yeah.

1736
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:10,320
>> In the center of the city with thousands

1737
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,280
of people going by and the space they'd

1738
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:14,960
have whether they'd be in the front yard

1739
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,520
or the backyard. And you said you'd

1740
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,239
check out this last game what they were

1741
01:10:20,239 --> 01:10:23,520
doing and I guess you took some pictures

1742
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,920
>> and before Chris chats just also for

1743
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,239
perspective of council

1744
01:10:28,239 --> 01:10:30,880
there's point there has been a change in

1745
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,199
how Stella is doing service across the

1746
01:10:33,199 --> 01:10:36,239
street they were directed by city to

1747
01:10:36,239 --> 01:10:38,960
push their outdoor bar five feet I'm

1748
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:40,800
sorry 3 feet I believe closer to the

1749
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:43,280
building in part because the city was

1750
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:45,440
concerned about the congestion on the

1751
01:10:45,440 --> 01:10:47,199
sidewalk. up in the street and the

1752
01:10:47,199 --> 01:10:51,600
ability of people to move freely past.

1753
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,400
>> I think that same concern comes in if

1754
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:55,520
you've got a band.

1755
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,480
>> When I walk by the Yeah. You're looking

1756
01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:00,480
and I shared at that point. Yeah.

1757
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:02,239
>> I think that it's reasonable to have

1758
01:11:02,239 --> 01:11:05,760
that same concern if a band is playing

1759
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:06,960
>> across the street.

1760
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:08,239
>> Yeah.

1761
01:11:08,239 --> 01:11:09,760
>> Well, anyway, Chief, if you were going

1762
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,760
to report, you have some pictures.

1763
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,640
>> I've got four photographs. Uh, three of

1764
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,400
the backyard. Uh, the backyard is

1765
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,280
pretty well eaten up by parking. Uh,

1766
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:22,719
when I went back there, there was

1767
01:11:22,719 --> 01:11:24,400
probably,

1768
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,800
I'm going to guess, we're estimating

1769
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,280
between 50 and 75 people, maybe a few

1770
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,800
more in there. Uh, parking, like I said,

1771
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,880
it eliminated

1772
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,719
the cars are only one deep, but, uh, it

1773
01:11:38,719 --> 01:11:41,760
ate up a lot of the parking stall. Um

1774
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:46,080
the front of the building has got had a

1775
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,280
recent remodel. Um

1776
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:53,920
if it were to occur there, the backyard

1777
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,199
would be the better choice of the two.

1778
01:11:57,199 --> 01:12:00,000
Uh but with the parking,

1779
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,760
I don't think that's I don't think

1780
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,520
that's possible. Uh, and the Bright

1781
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:10,000
Yard, I think, would do something similar to what Stellas would

1782
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,480
do where it's pushing people out,

1783
01:12:12,480 --> 01:12:14,080
especially if there was any attendance

1784
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,840
at all. Um, and there, my understanding

1785
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,320
is the gentlemen that are in this band

1786
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:23,199
are local, so they would have, I would

1787
01:12:23,199 --> 01:12:25,440
imagine, a small

1788
01:12:25,440 --> 01:12:27,840
a following of sorts.

1789
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,320
So that's uh that would be the front

1790
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:31,840
yard

1791
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:38,229
uh as it was set up on Saturday

1792
01:12:38,239 --> 01:12:40,480
and there is some parking some vehicles

1793
01:12:40,480 --> 01:12:43,520
parked there but also a number of people

1794
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,120
tailgating and and picnicking.

1795
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:48,800
>> The bottom line is that thinks it's a

1796
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:54,870
fun event but that it's contrary

1797
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,760
» green thanks for that sheet. Thank you.

1798
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:02,159
Uh, does council want to consider this?

1799
01:13:02,159 --> 01:13:07,510
Sorry. Interested in considering this or

1800
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,280
it's not just this and it's in front of

1801
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,239
them. It's precedent and then we go back

1802
01:13:12,239 --> 01:13:15,600
to where we were going to put my house

1803
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,870
on.

1804
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,080
» Well, and you're saying so future people

1805
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,480
will say, well, they had how can we say

1806
01:13:24,480 --> 01:13:28,080
no to them? Exactly. Or they won't even

1807
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,159
bother. They'll just say, "Oh, they had

1808
01:13:30,159 --> 01:13:33,040
a bandwidth." I mean, they know this has

1809
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,000
happened. And my concern was just that

1810
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:40,950
we've already said the trust. We haven't

1811
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,440
we still have the ability to have people

1812
01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:45,040
complain about what they're being

1813
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,600
stirred by. We have to say something to

1814
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,880
you. But if we kind of lose that, we

1815
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:52,800
say, "Oh,

1816
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,790
I don't

1817
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:00,159
I think that Nick could say you're not

1818
01:14:00,159 --> 01:14:03,040
dis I think that yeah the president is

1819
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:04,800
you

1820
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:06,159
can make noise but if you have a

1821
01:14:06,159 --> 01:14:10,000
neighbor um complain then it'll get shut

1822
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:11,920
down

1823
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,560
>> and that is much easier to do when the

1824
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,320
police have had contact with them first

1825
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,199
and it's again a speaker in the backyard

1826
01:14:19,199 --> 01:14:21,840
for a graduation party as opposed to a

1827
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:23,920
band that's playing. It's an advertised

1828
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,600
event for people that come listen to the

1829
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:27,920
van. The reaction is hugely different

1830
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,000
when the organizers

1831
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,239
of that graduation party first of all

1832
01:14:32,239 --> 01:14:33,920
are trying to comply and not disturb

1833
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,080
their neighbors and know that they might

1834
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,120
have to shut it off and it doesn't

1835
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:46,870
clear that potential riot in the street

1836
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,239
for you to go and explain that.

1837
01:14:50,239 --> 01:14:51,840
>> Okay. I'm going to ask a personal

1838
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:53,360
question, but just because I want to

1839
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:54,800
make sure I'm not like making an

1840
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,920
exception for myself. Um, so in the past

1841
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,159
we have had a food truck and this

1842
01:15:00,159 --> 01:15:02,400
weekend have someone coming that I've

1843
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:06,080
gotten permission to park on

1844
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:07,840
place in the street for the couple hours

1845
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:09,840
that they're there. Should I have them

1846
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:11,520
park on my lawn?

1847
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,120
>> Is that

1848
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,320
>> I purchase it's all prepaid once.

1849
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:18,239
>> You're just giving it away. But I'm like

1850
01:15:18,239 --> 01:15:20,000
I there I've gotten permission to park

1851
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,520
on the street before and if that's not

1852
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,360
allowed then I shouldn't be an

1853
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:24,239
exception.

1854
01:15:24,239 --> 01:15:26,080
>> That's that that's basically catering.

1855
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:26,800
>> Yeah.

1856
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,600
>> You have I'm saying because I have them

1857
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:31,679
parked on the street. We don't do street

1858
01:15:31,679 --> 01:15:33,440
parking. Am I getting the except Is that

1859
01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:35,520
an exception that

1860
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:35,840
>> No.

1861
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:37,520
>> Okay. Like should I have them park in my

1862
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:38,800
grass?

1863
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:40,320
>> I think you ought to have them park on

1864
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:41,360
the lot.

1865
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:44,880
>> I would agree. still going to be looking

1866
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,640
>> get to park on the street and I don't

1867
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,239
get you know I mean being your neighbor.

1868
01:15:48,239 --> 01:15:49,280
Yeah, that's what you're saying.

1869
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:50,640
>> That's what I'm saying. Like I don't

1870
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,480
want it to look like I get an exception

1871
01:15:52,480 --> 01:15:53,280
by doing

1872
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:56,480
>> if they're if they are

1873
01:15:56,480 --> 01:15:58,159
serving from the truck as opposed to

1874
01:15:58,159 --> 01:16:00,320
unloading from the driver. I Yeah, I

1875
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:01,360
think that that would be

1876
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,040
>> okay. So I'll have them first. I mean

1877
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:04,719
you're talking game.

1878
01:16:04,719 --> 01:16:05,360
>> Yeah. Yeah.

1879
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,520
>> Yeah. Right.

1880
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,159
That's so

1881
01:16:10,159 --> 01:16:11,840
easy.

1882
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:12,560
That's what

1883
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,239
>> Thanks for going through that. Troy, did

1884
01:16:14,239 --> 01:16:15,199
you have anything else?

1885
01:16:15,199 --> 01:16:17,679
>> I do not. Aaron, I apologize for being

1886
01:16:17,679 --> 01:16:21,440
longwinded, but she'll help me perhaps.

1887
01:16:21,440 --> 01:16:22,960
>> Thank you very much. We'll go to the

1888
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,199
citizens report. Mike, we sent around a

1889
01:16:25,199 --> 01:16:27,920
report. My report was longer than usual,

1890
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,080
too. Um,

1891
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:30,640
>> yeah,

1892
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,600
>> we're starting to receive regular public

1893
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:37,280
records requests and the four that I

1894
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,360
included this month, three all came from

1895
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:44,080
the same place. And basically, it's an

1896
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,280
AI data center that's looking to scrape

1897
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:53,920
information. So, we've got a pretty good system now of

1898
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,159
looking doing keyword searches for what

1899
01:16:56,159 --> 01:16:58,000
they're looking for. And I happened to

1900
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,199
reply to them yesterday at 11:00, you

1901
01:17:01,199 --> 01:17:03,520
know, on Labor Day that no, we don't

1902
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,400
have any of those. Immediate response

1903
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:07,840
back. Well, thank you. We'll take that

1904
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:09,600
off our we'll take that off our list.

1905
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,520
So,

1906
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,000
uh, yeah, I I think I think that's going

1907
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,520
to come pretty regularly. Now, I will

1908
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,640
say we did have one additional I don't

1909
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,719
know if if anybody ever looked through

1910
01:17:20,719 --> 01:17:22,640
all this. We did actually have a student

1911
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,199
ask us and it was somebody from a Iowa

1912
01:17:25,199 --> 01:17:27,520
City school district address. So I'm

1913
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,719
sure it's either a Westside Story or the

1914
01:17:30,719 --> 01:17:33,440
Little Hawk newspaper asking about the

1915
01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:35,679
city's dealing with slot cameras to

1916
01:17:35,679 --> 01:17:38,640
which I could also say so we haven't

1917
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,199
done anything. So

1918
01:17:41,199 --> 01:17:43,679
uh you may see more of these as as they

1919
01:17:43,679 --> 01:17:45,120
come along because I think that's what

1920
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,360
it is. It's a lot of data scraping and

1921
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,920
that's what they want is to look for

1922
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,000
stuff from us there. I do have one other

1923
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,120
fun thing to talk about. Um, Sunday,

1924
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:58,000
October 4th, the Johnson County

1925
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,719
Historical Society will be having their

1926
01:18:00,719 --> 01:18:02,719
annual celebration of history event

1927
01:18:02,719 --> 01:18:04,640
right here in the community center. They

1928
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,480
reserve the community center. This is

1929
01:18:06,480 --> 01:18:10,320
their annual meeting as a nonprofit and

1930
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,080
they are going to focus on University

1931
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,239
Heights and they've got some guy

1932
01:18:14,239 --> 01:18:16,480
speaking for 15 minutes about University

1933
01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:17,679
Heights history.

1934
01:18:17,679 --> 01:18:18,800
>> What day is that?

1935
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,520
>> That's Sunday, October 4th.

1936
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,960
>> Some guy some guy may be telling you

1937
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:29,189
about it. So

1938
01:18:29,199 --> 01:18:31,440
I think I I I've got 15 minutes worth of

1939
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:34,719
material I think. So, um,

1940
01:18:34,719 --> 01:18:37,440
>> but that'll be there. And there's it's,

1941
01:18:37,440 --> 01:18:38,880
uh, they're going to have refreshments

1942
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,440
and things. There tickets that are free.

1943
01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:43,040
They just want to get a count to get an

1944
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,520
idea for how much food to bring and

1945
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,000
things like that. So, I'll I'll make

1946
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,080
sure that Lisa gets the full details and

1947
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:51,600
puts them on the web page. But since

1948
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,400
it's before next month's meeting, this

1949
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:56,159
month's meeting is as early as possible,

1950
01:18:56,159 --> 01:18:58,320
next month's meeting is almost as late

1951
01:18:58,320 --> 01:18:59,600
as possible.

1952
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:00,960
>> So, yeah.

1953
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:02,719
So, just to let you know about that, but

1954
01:19:02,719 --> 01:19:04,239
that's all I have.

1955
01:19:04,239 --> 01:19:06,400
>> Thanks so much. Any any questions for

1956
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,360
Mike? We'll go on to John Brown, the

1957
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,600

1959
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:14,560
>> Hey, thank you very kindly, mayor. Uh,

1960
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,199
business as usual for the city. Uh, a

1961
01:19:17,199 --> 01:19:20,880
few items that uh

1962
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,719
I will speak to. Um, I do have one item

1963
01:19:24,719 --> 01:19:26,960
to add to Mr. warrants and fairy

1964
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:30,400
brothers for $150 for paid by

1965
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,159
maintenance.

1966
01:19:32,159 --> 01:19:35,120
And um

1967
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:38,080
I said business as usual, but the local

1968
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,440
option sales tax deposit uh that came in

1969
01:19:41,440 --> 01:19:44,080
this month was

1970
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,800
drastically lower than what we've been

1971
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,640
getting. So me and my esteemed colleague

1972
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,360
Steve P will be meeting tomorrow for

1973
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,760
other things, but we're going to

1974
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,120
uh try to do some mental

1975
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:04,480
uh six more but soon because other

1976
01:20:04,480 --> 01:20:07,280
neighboring municipalities have engaged

1977
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:12,560
that robot cells looks like our this

1978
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:15,120
could be an adoration or

1979
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,360
>> summer is slower

1980
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:20,960
sometimes you know and once fall picks

1981
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:23,920
up I don't know but I

1982
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,239
I'm sorry.

1983
01:20:26,239 --> 01:20:26,960
>> Oh, really?

1984
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,600
>> Oh, I mean we got five more than five

1985
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:33,199
grand. I mean, it's like drastically. Uh

1986
01:20:33,199 --> 01:20:35,360
it's enough that

1987
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:37,199
Steve and I are going to get together

1988
01:20:37,199 --> 01:20:40,800
figure out can some

1989
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:44,480
try to get some intel, talk to area.

1990
01:20:44,480 --> 01:20:47,520
>> They miscount delivery.

1991
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,360
>> Well, no, it's always possible. I'm not

1992
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:52,640
trying not a little saying. and just

1993
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:54,960
say, "Hey, we we got something that's

1994
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:56,880
really caught our eye, but we're going

1995
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:58,159
to look into it and we're going to get

1996
01:20:58,159 --> 01:21:01,360
you intel and banks out to you because,

1997
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:02,880
>> you know, we don't want to ignore it and

1998
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,679
we're getting mid gear or whatever, like

1999
01:21:05,679 --> 01:21:11,669
we got money problems."

2000
01:21:11,679 --> 01:21:12,400
» Yeah.

2001
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,960
>> So, with that addition to the warrants,

2002
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,440
you have the list of warrants are there

2003
01:21:17,440 --> 01:21:20,640
along with Ryan's payments that he asked

2004
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:24,159
for. Are there any other additions or

2005
01:21:24,159 --> 01:21:27,600
corrections? Or are there any objections

2006
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:31,590
to paying the Lawrence?

2007
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,600
Hearing none, the warrants will be paid

2008
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,159
by unanimous consent.

2009
01:21:36,159 --> 01:21:39,040
Thank you. Uh

2010
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:45,030
thanks for pointing that out. That's

2011
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:46,560
um

2012
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,920
we'll go on to uh finance. You have

2013
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:51,520
anything this month, Nick M?

2014
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:52,239
>> No.

2015
01:21:52,239 --> 01:21:54,320
>> Thank you. We'll go to community

2016
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:59,590
protection fan achievement this year.

2017
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,560
» And I saw your report.

2018
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,800
I don't have a lot to add to the report.

2019
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,920
Uh Saturday was an experience. We had a

2020
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,159
lot of heat and net. Didn't help

2021
01:22:10,159 --> 01:22:12,880
anybody. Uh but everything was

2022
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,719
manageable. Um, and it went the game

2023
01:22:16,719 --> 01:22:18,639
pretty much went off without too many

2024
01:22:18,639 --> 01:22:20,320
complications. So,

2025
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,239
>> other than it was terribly hot.

2026
01:22:22,239 --> 01:22:23,440
>> Yes.

2027
01:22:23,440 --> 01:22:26,239
>> And I know you said you got water for

2028
01:22:26,239 --> 01:22:28,719
everyone. I saw you had water with

2029
01:22:28,719 --> 01:22:31,679
carrying with you. That was very good.

2030
01:22:31,679 --> 01:22:32,960
>> We did that.

2031
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,199
>> We're uh we're getting better and better

2032
01:22:35,199 --> 01:22:37,360
about stocking the golf carts and what

2033
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,040
we have on it. Anywhere from medical

2034
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,239
needs to water to things like that. So,

2035
01:22:42,239 --> 01:22:44,800
uh, and it's probably there or the

2036
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:46,480
bicycles are probably the best ways to

2037
01:22:46,480 --> 01:22:50,080
get around this city at game day.

2038
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:54,080
>> Any questions for cheaper?

2039
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,560
>> Thank you very much. The fy features I

2040
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:00,159
added this month. No,

2041
01:23:00,159 --> 01:23:03,840
we'll go on to engineers boards. We

2042
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:07,679
don't have much, right, Ryan?

2043
01:23:07,679 --> 01:23:09,600
>> What a busy

2044
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,950
board.

2045
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,040
Yeah, it's been a busy month to try to u

2046
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:16,400
especially as you talked about last

2047
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,440
month. Um we had some projects that were

2048
01:23:19,440 --> 01:23:21,760
kind of I guess I say stalling out right

2049
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,639
a little bit taking a long time but um

2050
01:23:24,639 --> 01:23:27,199
thankfully I'm happy to report that the

2051
01:23:27,199 --> 01:23:29,040
one in particular of the street got paid

2052
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:33,600
back just in time for else. So um I did

2053
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,880
issue um just an updated report uh with

2054
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:38,719
the holiday yesterday. I wasn't able to

2055
01:23:38,719 --> 01:23:40,880
get all the signed documents I usually

2056
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,520
need uh for my report to issue to you

2057
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:47,440
like we asked for updates to um uh pay

2058
01:23:47,440 --> 01:23:49,040
applications changes and quantities

2059
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,120
around. So I got most of I got all that

2060
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:52,880
stuff this morning once everybody was

2061
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,360
returned from the holiday. So uh

2062
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:56,880
included those signed versions with my

2063
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,639
updated report that I sent out this

2064
01:23:58,639 --> 01:24:00,880
morning. Uh for I'll just kind of go

2065
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:03,280
through the lists hopefully fairly

2066
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:04,960
quickly here. the Melrose complete

2067
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:07,760
street project. We did submit the design

2068
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:09,760
team finished up and submitted uh the

2069
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:11,840
check plan submitt to the DOT. I have a

2070
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:15,199
DOT. Um so the DOT does review. We have

2071
01:24:15,199 --> 01:24:18,560
a couple um a couple spots where we add

2072
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,040
some water main work uh to try to avoid

2073
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,040
conflicts with the design the storm

2074
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,360
shore design. So we'll we'll have to

2075
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,440
review that with the city of our city

2076
01:24:27,440 --> 01:24:29,440
this month as well. And then we we have

2077
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:31,920
a final plan submitt to the DOT on

2078
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,159
October 20th. So those those dates are

2079
01:24:34,159 --> 01:24:36,000
rigid. They have to be done by those

2080
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:39,440
dates in order to hit the the leting uh

2081
01:24:39,440 --> 01:24:42,480
the bid dates uh for the DOT's

2082
01:24:42,480 --> 01:24:46,320
scheduling. Um our RFBs at Sunset and

2083
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,120
Orest. So this one I I I did receive a

2084
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:52,000
final invoice from New Miller Electric

2085
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,120
um for the our RFBs, the the new bowls

2086
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:56,800
and flashing beacons at Sunset and

2087
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,679
Orrest Street. Um, so this one I do have

2088
01:24:59,679 --> 01:25:03,280
a resolution for just to uh make sure I

2089
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,520
read it off correctly.

2090
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:09,760
Um, so resolution number 2661 is

2091
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:11,440
accepting the Sunset Street and Norris

2092
01:25:11,440 --> 01:25:14,000
Avenue rectangular rapid flashing beacon

2093
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:18,560
RFB signs project as completed and that

2094
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,960
is essentially just to release

2095
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,040
retainage. We'd already paid for all the

2096
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,600
u the project work um up to this point

2097
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:27,360
except for the retainage amount of

2098
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:29,760
$668.16.

2099
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,719
So the invoice number two is final from

2100
01:25:32,719 --> 01:25:34,639
memory electric was included in the

2101
01:25:34,639 --> 01:25:38,320
Lawrencees as well. So move we'll do

2102
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,440
that now motion second

2103
01:25:41,440 --> 01:25:43,920
by Tim.

2104
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:46,480
Okay, with discussion

2105
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:47,600
roll call vote

2106
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:50,560
>> second.

2107
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:51,760
Sorry.

2108
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:53,840
>> No, that's okay. Dwire

2109
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:54,239
>> I

2110
01:25:54,239 --> 01:25:54,719
>> Herbald.

2111
01:25:54,719 --> 01:25:55,199
>> Hi.

2112
01:25:55,199 --> 01:25:55,679
>> Moore.

2113
01:25:55,679 --> 01:25:56,320
>> Hi.

2114
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,000
>> Sher. I

2115
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,280
>> swelles absent. Motion carries. 401

2116
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:05,990
absent.

2117
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:07,760
And I haven't heard any complaints from

2118
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:09,280
the police department yet for the start

2119
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:10,880
of school year up there. So hopefully

2120
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,280
that's going pretty well. Good news. All

2121
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:15,920
right. Good news is the young people are

2122
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,880
becoming very accustomed to

2123
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:20,800
that. That'll be correct.

2124
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:24,480
>> Yeah. Excellent. It's good to hear. Um

2125
01:26:24,480 --> 01:26:26,800
Melrose Avenue 2026 electrical service

2126
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:28,719
relocations. I did have an agenda item

2127
01:26:28,719 --> 01:26:32,080
here to uh award approve award of this

2128
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,800
contract. I decided to defer that to the

2129
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:36,159
special meeting we have planned for the

2130
01:26:36,159 --> 01:26:39,840
22nd in a couple weeks here. Uh, a

2131
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:41,679
couple reasons which I laid out in my

2132
01:26:41,679 --> 01:26:43,760
report, but one was mostly Tim Tim

2133
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:45,199
Greenwood from Steve's office was

2134
01:26:45,199 --> 01:26:48,159
working with um working on an agreement

2135
01:26:48,159 --> 01:26:50,400
with Paul Moore uh for some

2136
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,159
reimbursement of the electrical upgrades

2137
01:26:52,159 --> 01:26:54,320
he wanted made to the system. So, those

2138
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:57,840
were included with our design um and our

2139
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,360
bid package. Um, and so just wanted to

2140
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,360
give us a little bit more time to get

2141
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:04,960
that coordinated with Paul, make sure

2142
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:06,560
everybody feels good and comfortable for

2143
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:08,880
signing that. and also so I can report

2144
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:10,719
to Paul what the bid numbers were and

2145
01:27:10,719 --> 01:27:12,639
then also give me a little more time to

2146
01:27:12,639 --> 01:27:16,000
follow up with this uh bidder uh and get

2147
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,400
some experience. Uh the Gumble

2148
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:20,159
electrical engineers I spoke with hadn't

2149
01:27:20,159 --> 01:27:22,159
worked with this contractor before. They

2150
01:27:22,159 --> 01:27:24,480
are headquartered out of Minnesota. They

2151
01:27:24,480 --> 01:27:27,679
do work in Wisconsin, Iowa, uh the

2152
01:27:27,679 --> 01:27:30,800
Dakotas, generally the Midwest and um

2153
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,840
region. Um they do a lot of solar work.

2154
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:37,440
Um, I'm told schools, cenos, and stuff

2155
01:27:37,440 --> 01:27:39,920
of that nature. Um, so I'll just get

2156
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:41,600
involved with them. So, we work on some

2157
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,639
example projects. So,

2158
01:27:44,639 --> 01:27:46,320
the

2159
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:46,960
idea

2160
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,520
>> 1007 109 Milrose Avenue driveway

2161
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,840
improvements sod was installed. You saw

2162
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,800
photos of that yard. New driveway. Uh,

2163
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:57,199
it was parked on this weekend. Um, so

2164
01:27:57,199 --> 01:27:59,360
they've been watering that side. We are

2165
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,199
punch list. I've issued a punch list to

2166
01:28:01,199 --> 01:28:03,520
the contractor. We're just re wrapping

2167
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,840
up a few things. Um I'll probably reach

2168
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:07,520
out to them to see if I can get a payout

2169
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:08,960
potentially for the special meeting in

2170
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,120
September and try and get that one

2171
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:12,639
brought up. They didn't submit anything

2172
01:28:12,639 --> 01:28:15,440
this this last week. Uh overhead to

2173
01:28:15,440 --> 01:28:19,760
underground utility trench. Um we've got

2174
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:22,080
constructions completed uh from the

2175
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:25,280
bridge to 1135 Melrose, which is to the

2176
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,239
west of the curve around Melrose. uh

2177
01:28:28,239 --> 01:28:30,880
they weren't able to provide extra crews

2178
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:34,320
and were due to the ongoing road

2179
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:38,239
construction at George Street. So um I'm

2180
01:28:38,239 --> 01:28:40,000
told they would have mobilized extra

2181
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,239
crews and board rigs if had they had the

2182
01:28:42,239 --> 01:28:45,520
opportunity um in the space to work. Um

2183
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:48,960
so that project is behind schedule. Um,

2184
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,760
but they'll work in between games and

2185
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,080
hopefully they should be I believe they

2186
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:55,920
should be done by the end of September

2187
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:57,760
now, but they'll have to mobilize in and

2188
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:00,320
mobilize out every week um for the three

2189
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:02,719
home games in a row here and clean

2190
01:29:02,719 --> 01:29:04,560
things up and they'll have to do shorter

2191
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,560
smaller segments

2192
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:08,960
uh of uh boring or trenching the new

2193
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,199
conduits uh around the George Street

2194
01:29:11,199 --> 01:29:12,719
Back

2195
01:29:12,719 --> 01:29:14,480
um

2196
01:29:14,480 --> 01:29:21,280
and Melrose Avenue area. So, uh, that project, we do have a change order,

2197
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:24,320
uh, on the agenda tonight, um, or on my

2198
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:27,280
in my report tonight. This was, um, for

2199
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,199
some extra work at the hotel driveway.

2200
01:29:29,199 --> 01:29:31,679
Um, they they hit an unmarked water

2201
01:29:31,679 --> 01:29:33,920
service. I believe it's to the

2202
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,400
residential property that Greg Stillner

2203
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:38,480
owns right there at the entrance. Um, so

2204
01:29:38,480 --> 01:29:40,000
they had to do an emergency repair and

2205
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:41,360
remove pavement there that wasn't

2206
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,840
anticipated to be removed. So, we added

2207
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:47,840
line items for 8 in pavement uh modified

2208
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,719
subbase and uh pavement markings to

2209
01:29:50,719 --> 01:29:52,480
replace the pavement markings that were

2210
01:29:52,480 --> 01:29:55,440
referred for Greg there at the hotel. Um

2211
01:29:55,440 --> 01:29:57,440
so there's that work and then Mid

2212
01:29:57,440 --> 01:29:59,840
American Electric in our discussions

2213
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:02,000
with them during design uh they

2214
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:03,679
indicated they would handle installation

2215
01:30:03,679 --> 01:30:05,760
of conduits from secondary enclosures

2216
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,199
which are handles between their system

2217
01:30:09,199 --> 01:30:11,760
and then the private services the meters

2218
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,360
at the couple residential properties

2219
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:16,960
uh during construction they've asked if

2220
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:18,480
we would have Midwest Underground

2221
01:30:18,480 --> 01:30:19,920
install those. So we did not have a line

2222
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:22,400
item for the size conduit the 2 and 1/2

2223
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,320
in conduit that they need for that. So

2224
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:26,960
this change order also adds a line item

2225
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,280
with a unit price of $14 a linear foot

2226
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:31,360
of install only the kind that is

2227
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:34,800
provided by Mid American Electric. So um

2228
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,679
the total cost of that change orders

2229
01:30:37,679 --> 01:30:40,950
$4564.50.

2230
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:42,480
So

2231
01:30:42,480 --> 01:30:44,560
um I don't know if we could have a

2232
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:46,320
simple motion just to approve that

2233
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,600
change order. M please.

2234
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:50,800
So moved

2235
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,120
>> motion by Nick second second by

2236
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,600
McKenzie.

2237
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:59,120
So this a simple motion. All in favor?

2238
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:00,560
>> Say I.

2239
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,920
>> Anyone oppose? Motion carries 4 zero and

2240
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,440
one absent.

2241
01:31:05,440 --> 01:31:07,840
>> Thank you Ryan. And then uh for that

2242
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:09,600
same project, the joint joint trench

2243
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,000
project uh we had a pay application um

2244
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,480
pay application number two was for

2245
01:31:14,480 --> 01:31:18,229
$137,000213

2246
01:31:18,239 --> 01:31:24,070
23 I'm sorry $137,21322.

2247
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:27,199
Um we review those and agree they they

2248
01:31:27,199 --> 01:31:28,960
represent the amount of work that's that

2249
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:30,480
was performed since last pay

2250
01:31:30,480 --> 01:31:33,840
application. So recommend approval of

2251
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:35,920
that uh amount and it's included in the

2252
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:37,600
mark.

2253
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:42,390
So um

2254
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:44,639
back

2255
01:31:44,639 --> 01:31:48,159
>> you need to do that right now.

2256
01:31:48,159 --> 01:31:49,840
>> I don't think I need anything extra

2257
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:51,679
unless anybody's got that on the

2258
01:31:51,679 --> 01:31:52,000
warrants.

2259
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:53,679
>> It's on the warrants. Yeah. So I don't

2260
01:31:53,679 --> 01:31:55,199
need anything special for for that

2261
01:31:55,199 --> 01:31:56,719
unless anybody's got it. Thank you.

2262
01:31:56,719 --> 01:31:58,960
>> I thought I saw it under warrants. Yep.

2263
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,120
>> Yeah, it was including warrants.

2264
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:08,310
Um,

2265
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:09,760
yeah. So, there's more detail in the

2266
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,560
report on that, all that stuff. But, uh,

2267
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:14,480
Melrose Avenue panel replacements. This

2268
01:32:14,480 --> 01:32:16,880
is the the project that was supposed to

2269
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,120
be from Sunset down to George Street,

2270
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:21,520
replacing panels on Melrose and doing

2271
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,080
some underground utility work um along

2272
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:26,000
Melrose and and at the George Street

2273
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,320
intersection. We have reduced their

2274
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:30,080
scope down to just finish what they had

2275
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:32,159
started uh which is detailed in my

2276
01:32:32,159 --> 01:32:34,880
report here um by issuing an instruction

2277
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:38,080
to the contractor to just uh

2278
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:40,719
finish the phase that they had begun and

2279
01:32:40,719 --> 01:32:42,639
then not continue the the remaining

2280
01:32:42,639 --> 01:32:44,239
phases of work which would have included

2281
01:32:44,239 --> 01:32:46,639
a detour on Mars Avenue and Eric as

2282
01:32:46,639 --> 01:32:50,480
we've talked about bridges. Um

2283
01:32:50,480 --> 01:32:53,600
they got the paving in. Um they

2284
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,920
completed the final segment of sidewalk

2285
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,000
today on the west side of George Street.

2286
01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,760
So they got that removed and replaced

2287
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,480
today. Um so all things are looking

2288
01:33:02,480 --> 01:33:04,239
pretty good for this weekend that we

2289
01:33:04,239 --> 01:33:07,040
shouldn't have a huge muddy mess over

2290
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:08,080
there. They should be able to get the

2291
01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:11,280
rest of that area rocked in uh on 1215

2292
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:12,800
Melrose. Um

2293
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:14,560
>> that was the part that damaged. Is that

2294
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,400
on place there? No, that was this is

2295
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:18,080
just part of the originals.

2296
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:21,120
>> The damaged parts. I'm probably going to

2297
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:22,480
we'll talk about that at our next

2298
01:33:22,480 --> 01:33:24,560
progress meeting with that. I think I'm

2299
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:26,080
going to probably have them wait until

2300
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:30,560
we have a 3-week window in October um or

2301
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,840
by or at least in a way or by week um to

2302
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:36,480
start and then they can they have some

2303
01:33:36,480 --> 01:33:37,920
driveway pavement they've damaged and

2304
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:39,199
some sidewalks they've damaged that

2305
01:33:39,199 --> 01:33:41,280
we'll need to remove and replace. So,

2306
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:42,800
um,

2307
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,360
we just haven't gotten that far far yet,

2308
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,320
but that that would be kind of a

2309
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:51,679
punchless little wrap-up thing and the

2310
01:33:51,679 --> 01:33:53,679
gravel in next yard that I got to get

2311
01:33:53,679 --> 01:33:54,719
something.

2312
01:33:54,719 --> 01:33:56,320
>> Uh, I might have to take a 5 gallon

2313
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:58,639
bucket.

2314
01:33:58,639 --> 01:34:00,480
>> Are you going to wash down that street

2315
01:34:00,480 --> 01:34:04,080
again before Iowa State gets so dusty?

2316
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,480
Residents are

2317
01:34:06,480 --> 01:34:08,400
>> upset.

2318
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:12,239
Um there's potential I'll speak with I

2319
01:34:12,239 --> 01:34:14,000
they're just not really responding to my

2320
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,480
requests to do certain things at home.

2321
01:34:16,480 --> 01:34:20,629
>> Well, it might rain tonight.

2322
01:34:20,639 --> 01:34:23,920
» Yeah, severe thunderstorm.

2323
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:24,719
>> So,

2324
01:34:24,719 --> 01:34:27,120
>> here it is.

2325
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:28,639
Chance of rain today. So,

2326
01:34:28,639 --> 01:34:30,880
>> I I

2327
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:32,800
emergency managed. I just thought of

2328
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,080
that.

2329
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:36,639
Uh this project I've also got u they

2330
01:34:36,639 --> 01:34:38,400
have an intake left to set and then

2331
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,239
board the street the intake throw back

2332
01:34:40,239 --> 01:34:42,239
and then uh they'll just be back filling

2333
01:34:42,239 --> 01:34:45,920
siding the parkways. Uh just so council

2334
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:48,239
knows I I think this is new since our

2335
01:34:48,239 --> 01:34:49,920
last meeting. I spoke with both

2336
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:51,360
properties on either side of George

2337
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:55,360
Street and both elected to have their

2338
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:57,760
yards rocked in for the football season.

2339
01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:00,639
So they will remain locked until we next

2340
01:35:00,639 --> 01:35:02,880
spring we we will have to dig that out

2341
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,840
and saw the yards next spring. Um just

2342
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:08,320
due to the amount of area that is that

2343
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:10,400
was disturbed down there. Um we would

2344
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:12,239
have been sing the entire yards just for

2345
01:35:12,239 --> 01:35:14,239
that to be destroyed with football

2346
01:35:14,239 --> 01:35:16,239
traffic. Uh we did the same thing at the

2347
01:35:16,239 --> 01:35:19,520
hotel empty lot for Greg Stner where he

2348
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:21,360
agreed to let the the joint trench

2349
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:23,360
contractor store equipment and materials

2350
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:25,840
there uh which was very beneficial and

2351
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:28,560
helpful for their operation. They've

2352
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:29,840
also rocked in areas where they

2353
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:32,480
disturbed we we left as much grass as we

2354
01:35:32,480 --> 01:35:34,960
didn't need to take out. Right. Right.

2355
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:38,080
Um for the Melrose patching we have a

2356
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,000
change order here also. This one is

2357
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:41,760
because essentially just working days

2358
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:44,639
they requested for various reasons. Um

2359
01:35:44,639 --> 01:35:46,320
there's no extra cost associated with

2360
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:48,320
this one. The other thing that's added

2361
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:50,800
is I'm just put in this change order

2362
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:52,719
that we did reduce the scope of work for

2363
01:35:52,719 --> 01:35:55,199
them and that we will suspend liquidated

2364
01:35:55,199 --> 01:35:57,679
damages on Fridays through Mondays on on

2365
01:35:57,679 --> 01:35:59,360
game weekends so that they're not being

2366
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,440
charged damages uh when we're

2367
01:36:01,440 --> 01:36:03,040
essentially asking or forcing them to

2368
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:06,480
leave town with their equipment. Um so

2369
01:36:06,480 --> 01:36:08,880
not providing an option right to work on

2370
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:11,840
Saturdays. So um so that's what that

2371
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,639
change order is. Um like I said there's

2372
01:36:14,639 --> 01:36:17,440
no additional cost associated. So again

2373
01:36:17,440 --> 01:36:19,040
another simple motion on that change

2374
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:20,960
order for approval. It adds three

2375
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:23,760
working days. So moved.

2376
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:24,880
>> Second.

2377
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,360
>> Okay. Motion second. This is simple

2378
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:30,960
motion. All in favor say I. I.

2379
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:32,800
>> Is anyone opposed?

2380
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:36,400
>> Motion carries four zero and one. Thank

2381
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:37,280
you.

2382
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:40,000
>> Yeah. And that projectation

2383
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,080
uh pay application number three for

2384
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,159
$78,0007

2385
01:36:44,159 --> 01:36:48,229
no I'm sorry $78,798

2386
01:36:48,239 --> 01:36:49,920
which was included in the war list as

2387
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:53,360
well. Um thanks John. I got that in late

2388
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,760
today this morning. So

2389
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:58,719
>> um we had for that

2390
01:36:58,719 --> 01:37:01,440
>> no should that's on

2391
01:37:01,440 --> 01:37:02,560
>> it was in warrants. So

2392
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:04,719
>> okay thank you. Then also included in

2393
01:37:04,719 --> 01:37:08,639
the warrants was a a font or another

2394
01:37:08,639 --> 01:37:11,040
invoice number two for a payment marking

2395
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:14,080
word. LL Pelling was waiting on that

2396
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:16,159
road project contractor before painting

2397
01:37:16,159 --> 01:37:18,159
the west side of Koser Melrose

2398
01:37:18,159 --> 01:37:21,600
intersection. And then the the

2399
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,639
restriping between Sunset and Koser was

2400
01:37:24,639 --> 01:37:27,199
included with that project work. So

2401
01:37:27,199 --> 01:37:29,600
luckily Pelling was on that work. So we

2402
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:31,360
got that all done last week. It should

2403
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:34,159
be all completed. But this invoice

2404
01:37:34,159 --> 01:37:38,239
strictly for the the cities we pay the

2405
01:37:38,239 --> 01:37:43,990
parking spoke. So it was $25462.

2406
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:45,840
So the only invoice remaining for that

2407
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:53,350
one will be the retainage next.

2408
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:55,119
Didn't have much updates on sidewalk

2409
01:37:55,119 --> 01:37:56,800
repair. Just a reminder that there's

2410
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:58,320
going to be a grand avenue sunset

2411
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:01,360
intersection water man work happening. I

2412
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:02,560
didn't get a chance to get an update

2413
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:05,040
from Iowa City, but what they told me

2414
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:07,360
last month was September time frame was

2415
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:08,880
what they were looking at that. So, I'll

2416
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:12,960
reach out to them for updates. Um,

2417
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:14,800
then we had Medic submit a couple

2418
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:16,800
rightway permits to add the new electric

2419
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:18,880
meters that we've approved new addresses

2420
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:20,560
for. So, we'll be straight right away

2421
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:23,440
permits.

2422
01:38:23,440 --> 01:38:26,000
>> I wanted to ask this media com what are

2423
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,960
electric meters?

2424
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:30,719
Uh, I don't know what there's. I think

2425
01:38:30,719 --> 01:38:33,920
it probably looked like a a pedestal

2426
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:38,239
meter similar to where holes u added for

2427
01:38:38,239 --> 01:38:40,880
the the speed cameras that never went

2428
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:44,560
on, right? Like at Kosure. Um,

2429
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:46,480
it's a it's a meter. They need a they

2430
01:38:46,480 --> 01:38:49,280
need a power source apparently to to

2431
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:51,679
power an amplifier for their system. And

2432
01:38:51,679 --> 01:38:55,920
I I'm not an expert on their um coax or

2433
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:57,679
fiber networks, but they run both

2434
01:38:57,679 --> 01:39:01,360
coaxware and they use they they now use

2435
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:03,760
like amplifiers to increase their signal

2436
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:05,920
strengths is my understanding

2437
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:07,280
>> from speaking with them. So they have to

2438
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:07,600
play

2439
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:09,679
>> so they're going to screw up my internet

2440
01:39:09,679 --> 01:39:10,400
again.

2441
01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:12,719
>> Yeah. Yeah. Probably a couple times.

2442
01:39:12,719 --> 01:39:15,840
Yeah. um they they they will have an

2443
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:18,480
electric service there now at those two

2444
01:39:18,480 --> 01:39:20,480
locations that we've addressed for in

2445
01:39:20,480 --> 01:39:25,189
order to install these amplifiers

2446
01:39:25,199 --> 01:39:27,920
» for power.

2447
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:29,760
>> So that's all I've got.

2448
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:31,199
>> Any questions for Ryan

2449
01:39:31,199 --> 01:39:32,320
>> at the moment?

2450
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:34,320
>> I I heard a lot of compliments about you

2451
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:36,800
getting that Melrose open from people

2452
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:39,440
outside of University Heights who pay

2453
01:39:39,440 --> 01:39:40,159
attention.

2454
01:39:40,159 --> 01:39:43,360
>> Yeah, I had a lot of people calling me

2455
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:45,600
who had their football partners calling

2456
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,400
them

2457
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:49,920
asked, "Will more my response be

2458
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:52,320
available?" And uh even the guys from

2459
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,320
Midwest Underground on Graves Law were

2460
01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:57,520
there people that worked for Advanced

2461
01:39:57,520 --> 01:39:59,280
Traffic Control that parked there that

2462
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:00,080
were messaging that

2463
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,000
>> we were pleasantly surprised.

2464
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:03,760
>> A whole lot of people interested on

2465
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:04,080
that.

2466
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:06,400
>> Hopefully even better before Iowa State.

2467
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,119
>> Yeah. I would like to say, I guess just

2468
01:40:09,119 --> 01:40:12,560
on behalf of the the folks in my office

2469
01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:15,119
on that Melrose and George Street

2470
01:40:15,119 --> 01:40:16,960
intersection,

2471
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:20,960
we had a lot of staff coming out um at

2472
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:23,040
the request of the contractor for

2473
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:25,040
various reasons for for compaction

2474
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:29,760
testing, for um concrete testing, for

2475
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:35,280
survey, um for construction saking, and things weren't ready, right? So,

2476
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:37,199
they made a lot of extra trips that they

2477
01:40:37,199 --> 01:40:39,520
normally would not make. They were

2478
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:42,000
rescheduling things because I was asking

2479
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:49,360
them to. Uh, you know, pushing other work off uh and working late um a

2480
01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:52,480
couple of us came in on Saturday um

2481
01:40:52,480 --> 01:40:54,239
which then got cancelled due to rain,

2482
01:40:54,239 --> 01:40:56,719
but um for paving of course and things.

2483
01:40:56,719 --> 01:41:01,440
So, uh, I I'm just glad that everybody

2484
01:41:01,440 --> 01:41:03,520
dealt with my requests and we got to

2485
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:07,199
have time before the fall. See you. So,

2486
01:41:07,199 --> 01:41:10,000
appreciate it. Thank you.

2487
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:13,119
Any questions for Ryan? I

2488
01:41:13,119 --> 01:41:16,719
don't need to spend through enough.

2489
01:41:16,719 --> 01:41:18,239
>> Thank you, Ryan. We'll go to building

2490
01:41:18,239 --> 01:41:20,719
Sony sanitation. Do you have any update?

2491
