267 601 and 52 cents
[6:31] um it is down a little from last month
it's kind of fluctuating we're not sure
[6:35] if it's because of the construction uh
because it is still higher than we had
[6:39] predicted so we're still well off
um the we got 909
[6:46] 9.09 in itg and
1652.50 cents in CMP
[6:54] um for the month of February we also
received our small cities assistance for
[6:58] ninety thousand dollars
um I pulled cash is working beautifully
[7:04] all our accounts are in Balance
um no negative cash balances all the
[7:08] department heads are doing
such an amazing job I don't think I can
[7:13] stress that enough uh the village is
throwing and and maintaining and
[7:19] improving and it's all because of the
employees they're really doing a great
[7:23] job
um
[7:25] for uh the month of February we paid 144
payables with a total of 50 71 payments
[7:33] uh the total amount expense was 400
474 495 and 76 cents we had 78 goodness
[7:44] 68 regular checks two voided checks and
One Bank drop
[7:50] um I included in your Finance report
this month uh a recap page that we do
[7:56] um just so you can see where we are at
this exact point
[8:01] um we're doing well we're gaming we're
moving in the right direction
[8:06] um
[8:10] what else do I have I'm sorry

questions or concerns
[8:20] any questions
[Music]
[8:29] make a motion to accept the

[8:35] our second emotions motion by trust me
like that second by remember Justin
[8:40] Mercer yes
[8:43] trust here chuleta yes thank you
resolution
[8:49] 2023-010 Bar number seven
all right I don't know if you guys
[8:54] remember in January we had a bar
um that we did for 75 000 for the
[9:03] uh police department Recruitment and
Retention stipends
[9:08] um so we received that Grant and we put
it in the 101.
[9:12] um however DFA has decided that they
want to track this in its own fund so
[9:17] they created a chart of accounts for
this fund 212 in lgbms and asked us to
[9:24] do the same so all we're doing in this
bar is removing it from where we
[9:29] originally borrowed it in the 101 and
putting in the 212 and we added a week
[9:36] it broke it out based on what the the
taxes will be when they receive those
[9:40] stipends so it'll have the lines too
expensive
[9:44] so that's all this part is is moving
what we already do please
[9:50] any questions no okay
[9:55] You're Gonna Hear emotional I make a
motion to approve resolution

[10:12] mayor timbrel yes thank you
Council of governments work program
[10:18] report
[10:27] with you
good evening mayor trustees can you guys
[10:31] hear me yes perfect
um
[10:35] did you guys need me to share my screen
and pull up the reporter do you guys
[10:40] have it in front of you there
you go thank you
[10:50] okay thank you
um so again my name is Brandon Howell
[10:55] planner at the northwest New Mexico
Council of governments here to present
[10:58] to you guys a report on our work program
with the village of Milan uh we were
[11:04] intending to present this uh as a
six-month report
[11:10] um we're a little late so uh it's now an
eight-month report but it really is kind
[11:15] of just recapping what we've done uh to
date for the fiscal year so since July
[11:20] 1st this is kind of a recap of the work
that we've done uh we've broken it out
[11:24] into uh kind of a direct services for
the village Milan and then also Regional
[11:30] initiatives as we are a regional
planning organization and so
[11:34] just kind of working my way through the
document I wanted to to again just kind
[11:38] of remind you guys this is all tied to
the annual membership that the village
[11:42] of Milan pays into the Council of
governments and in return we provide
[11:46] Technical and planning services for the
village
[11:50] um that uh that annual membership is
kind of broken out over a
[11:55] and hours uh time period and so we
budgeted 154 hours based on the amount
[12:02] of funding that was provided to the
Council of governments
[12:06] um to date we have used 161 so we're
over
[12:10] um that doesn't mean we're going to stop
uh assisting the village of Milan this
[12:14] is kind of just an internal Benchmark
that we like to keep for ourselves to
[12:18] ensure that we are
um elect spending time for members uh in
[12:23] our region and so
um we'll continue to continue to assist
[12:27] the village of Milan we'll probably far
exceed the the 154 but that's okay we've
[12:33] got a lot of work to do for the village
of Milan and we're going to continue to
[12:36] do so uh until the the next year
um so our report that we provided
[12:43] um has really uh planning highlights and
project highlights and then of course
[12:48] the regional initiatives but the
planning highlights one of the things
[12:51] that we've done to date was uh we're
we're thinking about prepping a
[12:56] affordable housing plan at the county
level which will Encompass the village
[13:01] of Milan and so what we've done today
was we've talked to mortgage Finance
[13:07] Authority at the state we brought them
in for a presentation to the commission
[13:11] and then we sat down with them to kind
of go over what the contents of that
[13:16] plan needs to be how hard it would be
for us to prep it ourselves and so siboa
[13:21] County along with the Council of
governments is going to kind of lead
[13:24] that the nice thing for the village is
it it will allow the village to utilize
[13:31] that plan to adopt and enact and
establish its own affordable housing
[13:35] program if it wanted to
um it eliminates the needs for
[13:40] developing a plan for yourselves and so
we're going to wrap the village Milan
[13:44] into that as well the affordable housing
program if it if if the village does uh
[13:50] establish that program basically what it
does is it allows the village of Luan to
[13:55] assist developers and developments who
want to bring housing into the community
[14:00] with infrastructure donation of land
those type of activities so it's a way
[14:06] to get around the anti-donation clause
for housing purposes
[14:11] the next is the gransom along
comprehensive Transportation safety
[14:16] action plan
I think in the fall
[14:21] um
the the Cog was notified by New Mexico
[14:24] Department of Transportation that there
were some research and planning funds
[14:28] available
and we decided that you know we we asked
[14:33] Village Milan in the city of Grants if
you guys would like to conduct the
[14:38] comprehensive Safety Action Plan for
transportation purposes the reason we we
[14:42] asked that was we anticipated
um
[14:46] we reviewed a lot of the bipartisan
infrastructure law Transportation
[14:50] programs and having a comprehensive
Transportation safety action plan was
[14:55] one of the uh criteria it also is a just
a general generally a good plan to have
[15:01] for transportation purposes
um as we move forward and do a lot of
[15:05] Transportation projects in the village
of Milan so the village of Milan
[15:08] contributed fifteen thousand dollars the
city of Grants contributed fifteen
[15:12] thousand dollars and then we were able
to secure 120 000 and so we're going to
[15:17] hire Consultants to do some data
analysis write a plan get us prepped and
[15:21] get us ready and eligible for big large
pots of federal funding uh through the
[15:27] bipartisan infrastructure law one of the
projects that we're targeting now and
[15:31] that will probably be highlighted in
this plan is Elkins Road from end to end
[15:36] and so we anticipate that being you know
uh many millions of dollars and so the
[15:43] bipartisan infrastructure law program
has that capacity to fund those types of
[15:48] projects or that without chargeable now
and so uh we went out to RFP a month ago
[15:56] we didn't get any uh proposals in so we
reposted
[16:01] um we are getting interest
um now because we're reminding uh firms
[16:06] to to to send us proposals and so we're
hoping to select a firm
[16:12] um or firms multiple
um in April and so essentially we're
[16:17] looking at getting this started maybe uh
June or July getting that planning
[16:23] process going
foreign
[16:27] the next is the drainage master plan
this has been a long-standing item for
[16:32] all three entities in Cibola County the
plan is about 10 or so years old it's
[16:38] been heavily utilized and it's it's it's
uh kind of resulted in millions of
[16:43] dollars of drainage infrastructure
projects such as the airport road
[16:48] drainage the San Jose Channel
improvements some of those items in the
[16:54] village move on a lot of items in city
of Grants kind of resulted as uh as a
[17:01] pro as a part of this planning process
again that's 10 years old uh this the
[17:06] county is taking the lead to update this
plan what we've done with the Council of
[17:12] governments is we secured services from
the Army Corps of Engineers to conduct
[17:17] surveying so basically redo the mapping
uh of of the for the plan and so we're
[17:24] hoping to get that started as soon as
possible
[17:28] as for project highlights we once again
assisted the village of Milan with the
[17:34] annual icip update we kind of meet an
individual we we meet with the manager
[17:40] um and and projects coordinator and we
discuss all the projects present a
[17:45] preliminary order add new projects and
take new projects or take projects off
[17:50] and so we once again assisted the
village with that process there
[17:55] we also again provided a legislative
technical assistance as you guys are
[18:00] aware we do kind of coordinate the
annual Cibola area legislative forum
[18:07] it looks like we're going to be hosting
that Forum in Milan hopefully next year
[18:11] so that's something to look forward to
there a quick highlight from the
[18:16] legislature I sent Linda and Denise this
information this morning but uh we have
[18:22] tentatively uh 2.5 million dollars in
capital alley for the swimming pool
[18:27] and then we also have 200 000 for Public
Works vehicles and that's in the
[18:32] legislature right now there's a whole a
handful of other state programs that
[18:37] we've anticipated looking into
um again we have a capacity building
[18:43] options that you guys have secured fifty
thousand dollars for this past year
[18:48] they're putting more money in that
program there so we might be able to
[18:52] continue to bring in uh Consultants into
the village of Milan and have that
[18:57] capacity building Grant pay for the
services there as opposed to having them
[19:02] come directly from the village of Milan
um we we also noticed that the regional
[19:08] Recreation
grant program is getting funded again
[19:13] the nice thing is if this 2.5 million
for the swimming pool stays and gets
[19:20] approved by the governor we can possibly
apply for that Regional Recreation
[19:24] program for the gap for the remaining
and get the project done completely and
[19:30] so this is a good year for the village
of Milan to get all the money that it
[19:34] needs to the swimming pool
[19:37] um
so we also uh last year kind of worked
[19:42] on a transportation project fund
application with the village of Milan
[19:45] and Wilson and Company for Airport Road
phase three obviously we did get awarded
[19:51] that in
August and September uh 1.195 million
[19:58] and so we're looking at
um as part of our regional
[20:03] transportation plan and organization
process we're looking at basically
[20:07] identifying the next project for the
next year's cycle and so we've been
[20:11] working closely with Denise and Linda to
identify the projects
[20:15] um and so we're going to engage in
another application cycle for
[20:19] transportation project fund there
just recently within the last week
[20:24] weekend week and a half I've been
working on submitting requests to the
[20:30] Congressional Delegation for uh
appropriation funding and so we're
[20:36] putting in for Wastewater system
improvements and again swimming pool
[20:41] improvements as well and so uh we're
crossing our fingers my submitted forms
[20:47] to Senator Lujan Senator Heinrich and
representative Ledger Fernandez and so
[20:55] um it's kind of a process that has
reestablished itself in the last couple
[20:59] of years and so we're working with the
village of Milan to apply for those
[21:03] funds there
[21:05] um the capacity building Grant again the
village was awarded fifty thousand
[21:09] dollars
um The Village uh entered into an
[21:13] intercompartmental Services agreement
with the Council of governments we
[21:17] intend we then took that fifty thousand
dollars
[21:21] um issued an RFP uh we selected consult
a group of consultants and then we have
[21:27] issued a task order
um for the village of Milan for those
[21:32] Consultants to start prepping
applications for water and wastewater
[21:37] through the clean water
for Stanley Road and Bridge for the
[21:42] transportation project fund for Elkins
Road through the bipartisan
[21:46] infrastructure law and then for the
Milan industrial park for Lita and Eda
[21:51] and so we're not going to submit those
applications obviously without Village
[21:55] concurrence but we're prepping those
applications and getting them ready and
[21:59] so this is again that fifty thousand
dollars that was uh awarded to the
[22:03] Village of Milan through the capacity
building Grant at the state
[22:10] um next is I-40 planning grants
um this was appropriation through the
[22:15] legislature to New Mexico DOT
um we worked the village of Milan to put
[22:20] in four Horizon Boulevard interchange
planning
[22:24] um and also uh a possible
um looking at preliminary engineering
[22:31] and feasibility of an additional
interchange at the pole Canyon Sawmill
[22:36] Road area specifically looking at tying
into the Milan Industrial Park obviously
[22:43] both are tied into economic Economic
Development initiatives both are tied
[22:49] into the Milan industrial park but you
know Horizon specifically is also tied
[22:53] into the village of Milan and just the
uh the the large amounts of freight
[22:58] traffic that comes through that area
there
[23:00] so we're going to conduct some planning
for those two interchanges and then
[23:06] subsequently just figure out optimal
design Solutions and improvements for
[23:11] those corridors uh in the future
the last lead for the village of Milan
[23:16] we uh we conducted a public
participation process for the cdbg grant
[23:22] program uh we conducted two public
hearings we gathered projects we uh kind
[23:29] of conducted a preliminary uh vetting
process
[23:33] but ultimately we decided and the
villagers decided that we'll hold off on
[23:38] an application this this year for cdbg
but the work that we've done to date is
[23:43] is going to uh
it'll still be relevant for next year's
[23:49] cycle so it's not lost on the work that
we've done to date for that process and
[23:53] so
um we'll re-engage that process next
[23:57] year and again if we decide to apply
we'll go ahead and use utilize that
[24:02] information and work that we did
this year
[24:07] so the next section is regional
initiatives I won't go over go over this
[24:11] too much because this is kind of a large
encompassing uh multi-jurisdictional
[24:15] work that we've done
obviously we are a Economic Development
[24:19] District so we do a lot of Economic
Development work we assisted numerous
[24:25] entities with economic development
Administration grants and War and were
[24:31] awarded numerous grants
um we also utilize a lot of the Eda
[24:36] funds Economic Development
Administration funds
[24:40] um for the Milan industrial park so
taking uh the master plan and getting it
[24:46] to 100 design
um we use we utilize a lot of that
[24:50] funding in Milan
we set up our revolving Loan Fund for
[24:55] small business support
from our office is
[25:01] um going to each County visiting the the
municipalities and the communities and
[25:06] talking to businesses and seeing if they
need uh small loans for business support
[25:14] and so he's been out to grandson Milan
visited with a few so we'll continue to
[25:20] promote that program as well
[25:24] um I'm going to skip a few uh I think
one of the bigger things is we're trying
[25:29] to set up a regional dashboard on our
website that'll uh it'll come Encompass
[25:35] uh various forms of data
um economic data social data demographic
[25:41] data what we're trying to do is set up a
platform for our members to utilize
[25:48] um if they are writing their own grants
or if they're needing quick quick
[25:52] information for whatever purposes it may
be we're trying to set that up so that
[25:57] our members can access that pretty quick
because there's so much data out there
[26:01] it's kind of it kind of gets daunting
when you go to look for something we
[26:05] just want to make it a One-Stop shop for
for our members so that they can be so
[26:11] confident in the data that they're
obtaining and using
[26:15] um lastly I just want to say you know
again we are a member-based uh
[26:20] organization we do collect membership
membership funds from Member governments
[26:26] um what what you have in your report
says 29 to 1 but I recalculated based on
[26:32] our I-40 planning ground Awards and
we're we're at 35 to 1 and that's in a
[26:37] regional context
um so essentially what we've done is
[26:41] we've taken uh the membership dues that
are paid to the Council of governments
[26:46] leverage that with annual federal and
state contracts to that allows us to
[26:51] establish our base for our salaries and
our employees and we in turn kind of
[26:57] utilize that framework to bring in
roughly 48 million dollars into the
[27:03] region as a whole
and so uh with that I can stand for any
[27:07] questions
[27:10] any questions
[27:31] do we need a motion on that one
[27:34] thank you
okay ordinance 293 a million Village of
[27:40] Milan criminal code ordinance 274 and
repealing all ordinances in Conflict
[27:47] here of
[27:52] as you know
you know in the process of
[27:56] the ordinance that require an update to
become
[28:02] um
her with with our current laws and this
[28:06] is one of those
it basically update the criminal code uh
[28:11] tells the courts uh or gives the courts
uh the guidelines to what they can do
[28:19] and we are only allowed to do the the
uh
[28:28] the petty misdemeanors so this this also
outlines those items
[28:38] was there a lot of change to any of
these or not there was very little
[28:41] change
but we had we had more than one that was
[28:46] active so that's part of our cleanup
uh I have one question on on the um it
[28:55] was on page 19 of 29th on fireworks
restrictions
[29:00] um
yeah it outlined what fireworks were a
[29:06] lot here in the village who will enforce
or inspect the fireworks here at the
[29:12] Village of Milan or is it going to be
inspected at the stands or if they see
[29:18] somebody shooting fireworks update how
is that gonna oh oh are they going to
[29:23] enforce that in the past has been
enforced by the fire department they
[29:28] have the inspection they actually issued
the
[29:33] uh the permit and we will have a next
month I believe the fireworks
[29:39] uh ordinance which which is updated and
instead of like last year it was only a
[29:46] good for a certain period of time and
then one that we will be presenting to
[29:52] you for your consideration will be for
year round and I believe some of that is
[29:59] uh Denise it gives you permission
to do some of that
[30:05] permitting
[30:08] so we're kind of bringing it off up part
of it off of the fire chief and putting
[30:13] it in-house into very capable hands
[30:19] foreign
[30:23] any other questions
I had one on the on the section 10-012
[30:28] the lottery how does that affect uh
fundraising private fundraising and

safety cap for the approaches that's
[34:47] that yellow protective covering we have
seen some of the kids already jump in

police department
[35:39] am I going too fast a little bit okay
I'm glad I have somebody to tell me
[35:46] decision and agreement language for
facilities at soccer field
[35:51] Mr Mayor members of the board as you
requested
[35:55] um we have developed a an agreement to
turn this uh complex over to the Soccer
[36:02] Association
they would be responsible for uh making
[36:08] sure that the upkeep was done on it
[36:15] any uh changes that you would like we'd
like to know that
[36:20] and we'd like to get your guidance and
and approval to have this completed and
[36:26] signed
so that we can turn this over to the
[36:30] soccer association for the kids
[36:34] are there any questions on that what
equipment and staff do they have to
[36:38] maintain that food
they would have to make sure that uh
[36:42] it's kept clean
picked up they'd have to make sure the
[36:46] department
what this law is isn't it also
[36:51] mentioning as far as grass being cut
that's not in this I don't believe it
[36:57] is just for the uh the the uh
concession stand the restroom and the
[37:07] storage let's just keep keeping it up
kept and stuff like that yes
[37:11] okay
[37:19] should I double check on that I think
it's a good agreement
[37:25] do you have motion to approve it I'll
make a motion to approve the agreement
[37:29] for the languages of the uh facilities
at the soccer field I would also ask
[37:34] that you give us permission to proceed
with getting this assigned
[37:41] signed assigned by the the association
[37:53] so with that added I'll second
motion by trustee Mercer second by
[37:58] trustee chuleta trustee Lopez remember
yes trustee Mercer yes okay I hope
[38:05] you're in the right track now approval
of Grant application from Milan police
[38:09] department
board I have the police chief Carl here
[38:15] to address this this request for a brand
application
[38:21] and at this time I'd like to ask him to
come forward
[38:27] we have time to hear you twice
[38:31] I am good evening Mr Mayor members of
the board I know uh our mayor was
[38:36] hurrying to get to me that's why he was
jumping so I I felt his enthusiasm there
[38:42] um I did request these uh approval to
apply for
[38:46] um
two grants
[38:48] um I just got this information
less than geez about three weeks three
[38:54] and a half weeks ago so I was already
behind with the deadlines approaching
[38:59] um
so to keep it short as possible
[39:03] um the body camera
Grant we need to update our body cameras
[39:08] when we're going to this new Tyler
system we've gotten by the past year
[39:11] with the twos because we don't we we
don't have to pay for them so I didn't
[39:14] want to add take on another charge but
we got to shift to body cameras three uh
[39:19] axon threes to download are to be
compliant with our Tyler plan for all
[39:25] three of our agencies so the quote we
got was 50 000 I think was over 74
[39:30] months
um the grants that I was applying for
[39:33] their Awards I think the smallest award
was 500 000 so it would have been a
[39:38] stretch to get it anyway so I started
looking in other areas
[39:41] um through the municipal League I was
able to find a way to get assistance and
[39:46] I'm working with candy on the details we
have it set up a meeting next week
[39:51] but short version we were going to be
paying 9 300 a month for our body camera
[39:57] with the money I was able to find
through the municipal League we're only
[40:00] paying 4 200. so it knocked off 50
math it wasn't my best subject 5100 a
[40:06] year so I think um that's going to help
and with the increase in lepf
[40:11] um that saves us
about 24 000 over five years so
[40:16] um so that one I know it's on here for
approval but I don't think I would meet
[40:20] the deadline but we already have
something in place the other one
[40:25] um
again I missed because I just found out
[40:29] about them and our deadline here was
approaching on March 21st
[40:33] uh we've been having all these meetings
um with different entities on mental
[40:37] health and uh officer response crisis
team response so I've been looking for
[40:42] Grants to pay for that I think at this
time
[40:46] um the clinic on Roosevelt in Grants did
receive some grant funding that could
[40:50] assist us with this
um it would have been it would have been
[40:55] difficult to maintain
with our staffing our current
[41:01] um experience we have in our department
and all the projects that I have going
[41:06] on and that I want to get to it would
have been very difficult to take this on
[41:10] right now so I'm hoping to work with
them with with the grand funding they
[41:14] got because that's uh gonna spread be
spread out through the county and now to
[41:19] assist us with my concerns on certain
individuals we have in our community
[41:22] which we've already begun
um taking care of one that we've dealt
[41:28] with uh 35 times since January so that's
the need I'm talking about that we need
[41:33] in our community but we got things in
place that I'm finding out there are
[41:37] plenty of Grants out there that I'm
starting to look for there's money
[41:40] available but this one's going to be a
little bit rushed and I don't want to
[41:44] rush things because I want to
um put the numbers in place so I do
[41:48] thank you for your time I know I could
have kept this short Mr Mayor but
[41:52] um at this time
um it's on there I thank you but I think
[41:58] we have some things in place that I
don't need to apply for right now
[42:10] no no
um if I could get this one going
[42:14] and submit in the next four days we'll
see where it goes but we have things in
[42:20] place in the county that I I'm just
getting aware of that's going to help us
[42:25] so I guess no action I don't I don't
need to prove our disapproval
[42:31] um I just so basically it was up for
discussion now instead of
[42:36] so we don't have to take action okay
yeah
[42:39] so thank you guys thank you thank you
[42:46] okay
[42:50] oh now we moved to um
task order with on-call engineer Wilson
[42:56] and Company for airport phase two and
three design amendments to comply with
[43:01] the grant agreement engineer estimate
project Emmanuel and Building Services
[43:12] three different types of
one degree which is the bridge and the
[43:17] remainder of Airport Road
what we have in front of us today is a
[43:21] task order with Wilson and Company to
update the plans to match what's been
[43:26] done on phase one we found the water
line wasn't where we thought it
[43:29] originally was so that'll need to be
amended in the plans
[43:32] um we are going to shoot for water sewer
drainage roadway sidewalk all of the
[43:40] above
um with these two sections and what this
[43:43] tax border does it allows the engineer
to help us with the bidding phase as
[43:46] well as the design phase
[43:51] I am asking for your approval for Wilson
and Company
[43:55] in the amount of twenty seven thousand
two hundred and fifty five dollars and
[43:59] seventy cents
[44:05] include construction management so after
the bidding phase is complete if we do
[44:11] decide what we want them to do the
construction management which is like
[44:14] they have on site here every day then we
will have a different task
[44:25] about
[44:28] so
okay so I make a motion that we do the
[44:34] task order with on-call engineer Wilson
and Company or airport pays one and two
[44:40] design
I'll second it
[44:44] is
[44:48] sorry two and three
[44:52] yeah
yeah I did okay
[44:56] uh motion by mayor Pro tem Rumble second
by trustee Mercer Mr Lopez yes Mr
[45:01] chuleta yes member yes Mr Mercer yes
thank you
[45:07] updates fire chief
[45:17] all right good evening mayor Board of
Trustees
[45:21] for the month of February we had 76
calls for being such a short month
[45:28] and the prior month of January the calls
went up about one percent
[45:33] um fire calls went up
a little bit too
[45:37] um
attached to my report I did lately the
[45:43] last few months if you guys didn't
notice have been putting a
[45:48] an incident type per Zone
so
[45:53] I just wanted to go over that real quick
the zones are broke out with between
[45:57] grants
Milan and we call it Northern Zone
[46:02] anything north of Milan
or engrands and South Zone also south of
[46:08] Milan and grants in the West and East
zones
[46:12] um
in February we only had one fire in
[46:16] Milan I think it was just a really small
brush fire or something
[46:22] we had seven fires total in Grants
one fire up at Lobo Canyon Fire
[46:27] Department
two fires in San Rafael I think those
[46:31] were both brush fires
and Three Fires in Blue Water
[46:34] so most of our fires are happening
outside of Milan
[46:39] um
which is great I like that makes us look
[46:44] safer
and our I think our Community
[46:49] Education and risk reduction is
program has been working out
[46:57] um
with that March 25th we're doing a sound
[47:02] the alarm event with the partnership
with the Red Cross and the State Fire
[47:07] Marshal's Office this is also the main
event that we do for a risk reduction
[47:12] Community risk reduction
um and it also gives us ISO points so
[47:19] our insurances go down
that event's March 25th it's Saturday
[47:24] from 10 to 2 and that event is we're
gonna go around the we picked up part of
[47:29] the community in the village
specifically
[47:33] to go install smoke alarms and for free
the smoke alarms are
[47:40] given by the Red Cross and right now in
my office I got like a hundred and
[47:45] something smoke alarms
[47:51] I went to Farmington to their event a
couple weekends ago
[47:55] and having the fire department present
these people were more susceptible to us
[48:01] to these people going in and installing
smoke alarms and then with partnership
[48:06] with us
they felt more comfortable so they
[48:09] didn't see strangers just coming into
their house and stuff and and also
[48:13] statistically
Like Chief likes Statistics over there
[48:19] more lives are saved
even by a smoke alarm and then also for
[48:25] the hearing impaired people they do
install those bread bed shakers so if
[48:30] they can't hear the smoke alarm their
bed will shake if it's a if it's at
[48:33] night if they're laying in their bed
so I think it's a great great start on
[48:40] part of our risk reduction in the
community
[48:43] specifically in Milan
and we hope that this first event is
[48:48] going to be a good kicker
the State Fire Marshal's office will be
[48:54] there as well and he's already talked to
the ISO
[48:58] inspectors and everything and they've
already given us big credit for doing
[49:04] this type of stuff
[49:07] uh
[49:10] all the houses you guys are going to
already or how does that work yeah right
[49:14] now we picked from I think it's Archer
Archer Yocum down on that end Carver oil
[49:20] and we're going to come all the way to
Airport Road
[49:24] that's over 150 vacant or not vacant but
houses that are being lived in right now
[49:31] we don't do churches and businesses
and
[49:37] what we're going to do starting tomorrow
in fact we're going to go start hanging
[49:41] door hangers on on their doors
so they they know that we're going to be
[49:47] coming around in on that day and then
also uh
[49:51] I got in agreement with the Red Cross as
well
[49:55] to continue this not just that day so if
later on I know
[50:03] boss here already asked if we can go out
to her house and install some I'll be
[50:08] able to do that with that agreement and
then all I got to do is fill out the
[50:11] paperwork
when I do do her house and then send
[50:16] them the paperwork so that way it could
be tracked
[50:19] and then next year we'll do a pick a
different area of the village and have
[50:24] one a big one day event as well we're
just going to keep it going
[50:28] we've gotten a lot of positive feedback
where the Red Cross has and the State
[50:32] Fire Marshals have
and they really like this
[50:36] this event that we're doing
a little bit more on facility build on
[50:42] the phase two of our fire station
remodel which you guys approved here not
[50:47] too long ago for the upstairs we're
still in the process of cids
[50:53] we're waiting for the finalization on
the design the drawings and everything
[50:59] so those should be coming here and I'm
hoping in the next month and a half or
[51:04] two
and then they'll start uh
[51:07] Demolition and remodel
uh thank you to uh Michael and and
[51:15] Robert they came and they moved our
internet services downstairs back
[51:19] downstairs they put a really nice it
room in and nice switchboards and the
[51:24] internet's working great
[51:28] other than that I don't have much else
just to keep this short if you guys have
[51:34] any questions
[51:37] any questions for the chief
[51:41] thanks sir all right
[51:47] police chief
[51:54] Mr Mayor remembers of the board
uh good evening
[51:59] um to give my report in uh code
enforcement and
[52:03] animal control as well
um so I'll just kind of fly through this
[52:08] again pick out some of the highlights um
I always stress the auto accidents in
[52:13] the medical calls if you notice our
medical calls were a lot lower last
[52:18] month
um which is great
[52:21] um you know it occupies our time but it
also means we have a
[52:27] some issues going on with her community
made with with health or something but
[52:31] it's it's always a positive to see that
uh that number a lot lower from the
[52:35] month previous and the auto accidents
are right right around the same so again
[52:40] most of those have been our truck stop
so
[52:43] um we're still working on
um plans to uh to tackle that issue
[52:49] um
we had our
[52:53] um monthly coffee with a cop again uh
trustee Lopez thank you for showing up
[52:57] it's it's always a pleasure when you're
there and myself and the other officers
[53:01] appreciate it we had a decent turnout
this time so it was it was it was very
[53:05] good so thank you again for stopping by
um our new officer was supposed to be
[53:11] here
um
[53:13] he's uh he's progressing well in Phil
training um he's moving to night shift
[53:18] on Monday for a different training
officer and
[53:22] um he's progressing quickly he's got
almost four years of experience so
[53:26] we didn't anticipate
um too long I feel training just getting
[53:30] to know the area and how we do things
with the Milan police department the
[53:34] village of Milan so he's doing well
um stick with the theme about trying to
[53:40] find money so it doesn't come out of the
village budget
[53:43] um I already discussed the body cameras
how we were able to save some money and
[53:47] um another thing is our docks our
charging docks for our laptops that we
[53:51] need in our squads uh it was the quote
we got was for 21 000.
[53:57] um
DWI compliance has uh hooked us up again
[54:01] and are taking care of that whole entire
cost so that's 21 000. we're going to
[54:05] save on our law enforcement protection
fund
[54:08] um this next go around in July that we
could use for other equipment and
[54:11] training so
um
[54:14] appliances been good to us
um and the president over there as well
[54:21] um that's me so
yeah
[54:27] no but the money was there
um their current compliance
[54:33] um officer in charge she said there was
about 40 000 that they had to get rid of
[54:37] before June and she asked us what we
need it and this is something we badly
[54:41] needed so
um thank you DWI compliance flower
[54:45] safety cameras that's I bring up every
um month because they're I think they're
[54:52] wonderful uh I mentioned before we
haven't paid on them since 20
[54:57] 20. so talking to the rep they took
responsibility for that and they're only
[55:02] going to charge us for the current year
so we saved two years of
[55:06] uh funding right there so that was great
um
[55:11] the last thing I have is we have a
violent or we had a violent offender in
[55:18] our community that caused problems for
us for years and we just completed a
[55:22] jury trial and he was found guilty so a
great job by the officers that
[55:28] participated in that
um any questions
[55:33] questions
if not thank you sir thank you
[55:40] projects
[55:46] [Music]
there were several books on this project
[55:51] with the project substantial completion

[55:54] pretty much done real waiting for final
inspections to pass which I believe have
[55:59] passed according to Jack today

[56:03] ceremony but I would like to wait for
the drive path to be complete then we
[56:08] can invite the state reps in and do a
maybe a something with the newspaper and
[56:12] for the website

[56:17] quickly the weather is finally allowing
them to do concrete
[56:22] um the project is on schedule the
approximate completion date is April
[56:26] 28th
um it was originally 150 days we added
[56:29] an additional
[Music]
[56:32] um

[56:36] lines and right now the water lines and
service lines are all active throughout
[56:40] that project so those are in and they

uh Mr I would like to offer the family
[1:13:30] of Mr Adolfo chat to Rubina condolences
people didn't know too much about but
[1:13:37] this individual he retired he worked for
the village of Milan for many many years
[1:13:41] retired from here
um very quiet very humble man
[1:13:46] but the most impressive thing about
about the about about about him was
[1:13:51] he was very highly decorated
he was he was an Army veteran very
[1:13:56] highly decorated he never bragged about
it he never he got um the top three but
[1:14:02] he he had the Purple Heart the bronze
star and the Silver Star
[1:14:07] that is amazing and but you never you
know he never flaunted his plus all the
[1:14:14] other decorations that that he probably
got from from for for that I I just
[1:14:20] wanted to to to pay tribute to this man

he did he did more than his share when

[1:14:36] I think our employees would do such a

trustees to walk around the village to
[1:14:48] drive around the village or go to
storage and
[1:14:52] um
uh
[1:14:55] compliment our employees without having
to with a straight face you know what
[1:14:59] I'm saying uh instead of
trying to brag too much about it it's
[1:15:05] because everything is because of our
employees and you know without without
[1:15:09] without them
we know in the past with our good
[1:15:12] employees we say you know our abilities
