[3:45] All right. So, next we're moving to the
public comment section of our agenda. Is
[3:51] there anyone from the public that would
like to address council?
[3:56] There's anyone here tonight who would
like to address city
[4:04] going once
twice.
[4:08] We'll close the close the comment
section and move to something that I've
[4:12] been very much looking forward to. Dr.
Sam Her
[4:17] is going to present to us on the
university student agricultural project.
[4:22] » Mr.
[4:25] clarify that.
>> Okay. If I just stand right here.
[4:28] » Sure.
>> Well, first thank you for uh letting me
[4:31] be before you just to tell you a little
bit of who I am. I'm a retired
[4:35] practitioner from the Charleston area.
Moved up here in retirement. I found
[4:39] myself teaching at the school of
architecture before.
[4:44] What I do is I teach the graduating
students that are graduating in
[4:47] December. These are students that are
kind of little off culture graduating in
[4:50] the spring and basically closing out
their undergraduate degree. What I'm
[4:55] trying to do is put together a project
students that makes it as real as
[4:59] possible um in terms of they have a real
site to look at a real building to look
[5:05] at actual
requirements of site to respond to in
[5:10] terms of designing a building.
had kind of an affinity personally for
[5:14] Wah Hol
and myself find myself spending a lot of
[5:19] time over here discovered that I guess
your old gym building is kind of a bit
[5:25] of a change right now in terms of
athletic activities to another location
[5:30] for something else and this would be a
perfect building as a kind of a test for
[5:34] my students to use and I talked to
Councilman Grant over here about this
[5:40] and thought I just wanted a little
permission before I just show up with 10
[5:43] students wandering around trespassing on
your property. So, I'm here to ask I
[5:49] guess your your blessings or whatever to
be able to proceed with this thing. You
[5:53] want to be able to measure the building.
We're going to go through the semester
[5:56] designing a hypothetical project for a
community center and maybe some type of
[6:00] addition to the building. We have no we
have we're asking nothing from you other
[6:05] than access to the building. maybe
access to a few staff members, hours or
[6:10] whatever to oversee this. And we would
even invite some people if they wanted
[6:15] to participate in the process along the
way. They just want to see how
[6:18] architecture is made. Some people might
call it sausage being made. But u
[6:24] anyways, it's a great opportunity for
the students and if they can have some
[6:27] interaction that's great. I can
certainly provide that. I mean, I've
[6:30] designed town halls and centers and
those kind of things before my career,
[6:34] but it's really much more interesting if
they have somebody to actually chat
[6:38] with. So, that's what I'm here to talk
about. I'm happy to answer any questions
[6:43] that you might have.
>> I like motion.
[6:47] » Absolutely. I'll second that. And I I
wanted to ask let people to kind of
[6:52] clarify something too
>> from our discussions on the phone. uh we
[6:57] talked about they would actually produce
a deliverable that we could use a plan.
[7:02] » Well, yeah, absolutely.
I haven't really decided if they're
[7:06] going to do it in teams or individuals,
but there might be five as few as five
[7:10] or as many as 10 different schemes on
I'll present a problem and with y'all's
[7:16] input, we might say, you know, we want
to keep the gym, we want to add these
[7:19] kind of spaces, that kind of stuff. I'm
probably going to have to add some
[7:22] things in to get full and real. Um, but
then they would you would actually
[7:28] several different solutions to the same
problem. If that makes sense. You'll see
[7:32] 10 different math solutions to one math
problem.
[7:36] » We have access to that and we have
access to the outcome that you do at
[7:43] some point
in present.
[7:47] I may or may not be able to do that
based on students timing, but I can
[7:51] certainly publish the dates that we have
reviews and invite you to those reviews
[7:56] or we could even do some reviews on
those dates here, but the students are
[8:00] tied to an academic.
>> I understood
[8:03] one question.
[8:09] » Okay. I grew up in Columbia, went to
school in Clemson, met my wife here and
[8:16] used to drive to White Waterfall. So
this was back when the year the lake was
[8:20] what 5 years old
and we said you know this was engaged
[8:25] I'd like to retire here one day and she
like that idea we find ourselves 40
[8:30] years later
[8:38] I told Charleston
[8:42] » does anyone have any objections is it
Dr.
[8:46] I'm not a doctor. No, I'm Mr. Architect
>> being uh uh his students into the uh old
[8:54] where the city gym is. And as a side
note, I think we're still interested in
[8:57] keeping it as a gym
that rest.
[9:02] » Any kind of parameters that y'all can
throw to me, I'll do, but I'll get to
[9:06] kind of coordinate the schedule and
Chris is able to accommodate us, that's
[9:11] great. If not, that's great. I know
administrator here shortly.
[9:26] » I don't think
[9:35] appreciate it.
>> Thanks.
[9:54] All right. So we have proclamations.
Uh proclamation.
[9:59] First one will be 2026-10
proclamation recognizing September as
[10:04] emergency preparedness month.
Whereas our nation south and city
[10:12] are faced with the potential for
disasters both both natural and man-made

[13:18] Wala. I encourage all citizens to
celebrate and recognize the invaluable
[13:22] contributions of Hispanic and Latino
communities which have enriched and
[13:26] shaped the vibrant
city.
[13:33] We're going to go through a resolution.
I'm going to say uh this is a
[13:38] resolution. Is Chief Sanford here?
>> Yes, sir. He's coming.
[13:54] I know a lot of kids going to grow up
and be for exactly the reasons that you
[13:59] all exemplify
dedication community
[14:04] sacrifice that you make and we
appreciate that.
[14:08] As I read this resolution
service that we've done for citizens,
[14:14] our citizens,
I have gotten a letter in today
[14:21] for another act which I will scan in to
everyone.
[14:26] You guys do a tremendous job and we
really appreciate
[14:30] read.
Uh do we have a copy of that sign?
[14:41] right now. Anyway, I want to I want to
read this and then all of our pictures.
[14:47] Okay. Um it's a resolution honoring
practice Terry Sandford for exemplary
[14:53] service and dedication to the
surrounding community.
[14:57] On the 3rd of July 2026 preparing for
Wales Independence Fest, Chief Terry
[15:03] Sanford received a call from employees
at a local truck supply company who were
[15:07] in distress. And whereas David own
coworker who had been exposed to exhaust
[15:11] fumes and Mr. Owens was unable to move
his co-orker outside and call Chief
[15:16] Sanford and whereas Chief Sanford's

many that all of you have had. There are
[16:24] a lot of people that their lives to the
actions of our
[16:29] recolous
[16:34] life.
This is we also recognize quality of our
[16:53] Is there a motion to accept this?
>> Motion
[16:56] second. Is that motion? Any discussion?
[17:02] Say
>> I
[17:06] get
[17:10] some people in too.
[17:29] Yes, sir.
[17:40] » I don't think
[18:00] And then if everybody will stand, I'll
get a picture with the tablet. So,
[18:14] name.
>> Aubrey
[18:39] Is this
okay?
[19:13] We get into
[19:22] that way.
[19:33] First reading of the ordinance
2020
[19:38] an ordinance to amend the is ordinance
to amen the city of zonal ordinance.
[19:44] This is the first one since 199.
>> It was about time, wasn't it?
[19:51] » I talk about it a little bit.
So
[19:56] » the fire chief but
>> so at your meetings we went through all
[20:02] the changes that we made. Um again just
the very basis of that um try to make
[20:07] you more user friendly more flexible for
you and how you know you can improve
[20:11] things that come in to be developed. Um
ensuring that all the changes that have
[20:15] made over the years were incorporated.
There were different versions floating
[20:18] around. So making sure that you know
your base document is right, what you
[20:23] have online is right, what you have on
your website is right and so and then
[20:27] trying to keep to your existing format
as possible to make it easier for your
[20:32] clerk to make those changes and post
them online and all those types of
[20:36] things. So um I kind of went through all
the changes at the committee meetings.
[20:41] We want to go through those kind of
blowby-blow again, but uh if you have
[20:45] questions or concerns or comments, um
certainly happy to hear those.
[20:50] » Anyone have any questions?
[20:56] » I've got two questions. One, our
planning commission has
[21:03] » Yes, they we were with them for a year.
Um back in July, uh we did the public
[21:09] hearing. The only that came out of that
public hearing was adding the short-term
[21:13] rental information to the ordinance
there. Everybody was aware of that. That
[21:17] the only change that happened after that
meeting was just me physically
[21:20] incorporating that into there and I
think one or two.
[21:25] » Yes, sir.
>> Second question that I have is on the
[21:28] political would you go over the
limitations on
[21:37] » we're getting into what people call.
[21:50] So what it says now with the new
language, it says under exempt signs. So
[21:56] that starts on page 66 and carries over
to the top of page 67.
[22:01] It says political signs are exempt.
They're allowed on private property. Um,
[22:06] they are not allowed in the public right
ofway or on city owned property. So,
[22:11] can't be in a city park, be on a
telephone pole, can't be in the road
[22:15] right away or in a, you know, median in
the center of the road because that
[22:20] would all be public right away. Um,
basically, if I'm, you know, I want to
[22:26] publicize a candidate, I can have a sign
or multiple signs in my guard, um, you
[22:31] know, showing my support for the
candidate, but it can't be in the public
[22:34] right away. can't be on telephone polls.
That was really ever legal. You know,
[22:39] polls and such was never really legal.
Anyway, this clarifies the fact that
[22:43] they're not allowed in the public
rideway. Um there sort of a a middle
[22:48] ground between regulations. Uh we've had
other ones that we've seen where, you
[22:53] know, communities charge deposits um for
them before you can put them out with
[22:58] the goal really being to make sure
they're all cleaned up at the end of the
[23:01] election. That six months from now
there's still not a bunch of political
[23:05] signs out in the community, out on the
roadways, in people's yards. So,
[23:09] » okay. So, in the city of Wala, you
cannot put a political sign out anywhere
[23:13] according to this. It's written. So,
except on
[23:16] » correct. That's what this says.
>> Okay. Usually there's a lead. One thing
[23:21] I want to ask about usually before
[23:28] » um the day of the election
probably nobody's going to say anything
[23:33] about it. There are some election rules
I think that govern that
[23:38] » is under this ordinance. It is
prohibited by this ordinance to do even
[23:42] the day of the election,
>> right? I mean unless there's a state
[23:46] rule, state election law that would
supersede this.
[23:50] I can check into that before we come
back.
[24:03] » I do have a question along those lines.
[24:09] Would that also include the early voting
window?
[24:12] » Yes. So, any rule that they're going to
have is going to cover all those periods
[24:16] of time. So I'll I'll make sure I see
what that language is exactly and bring
[24:21] that back to you before
>> second reading
[24:26] that's
[24:34] first reading. Is there a motion to
accept
[24:41] discussion further?
All in favor of accepting first.
[24:52] » Thank you for your hard work with our
planning commission and making sure that
[24:56] I know this had to be a task since
>> it's a lot of work going through
[25:01] everything taking it line by line and
and discussing pretty much every piece
[25:05] of paper in the document. So
>> and we have our comprehensive plan. Let
[25:10] me ask you specific. Yes.
>> Has it's supposed to be updated every
[25:14] five years and I think it's due for an
update now.
[25:17] » Right. I know they were we were not
involved in that project. I know they
[25:21] would hear that they had started that
project. Um I don't know exactly where
[25:25] they are with it. I know she had
presented some of that material to the
[25:29] planning commission while I was at the
meetings but um I think that still had
[25:33] more work to be done. So
>> right was certainly
[25:37] we have a new planner on board.
Okay. Thank you very much.
[25:42] » Yes, sir.
[25:47] » Okay. Discussion and action items. We'll
be talking about the community center.
[25:55] So, I'm turn
[26:05] » on this
[26:08] first.
>> Well, I'll just get us started. So, we
[26:12] were originally planning on discussing
the opening event and we're hoping to
[26:16] share a date. I think that date is going
to be postponed because last Friday
[26:20] evening during a storm event, there was
some water way into the community
[26:25] center. Um I'll let Mr. Carter kind of
go through what where we're at today
[26:31] with that.
>> Okay. There was actually two contact
[26:34] people today that John was at the first
which was serve. John, can you summarize
[26:40] what the represented
[26:43] still has said?
>> They said that
[26:51] equipment
never mentioned anything. They wanted to
[26:55] know
anything.
[27:03] We did leave
some dehumidify
[27:32] questions about this.
>> There's some there's some drywall that
[27:36] needs to be replaced out and some carpet
that needs to be replaced. Is that
[27:39] right?
>> Uh well, when we met with Mr.
[27:43] It was a sight down there
[27:56] and he got only I think one meeting that
was out of range in terms of detecting
[28:00] moisture.
>> Okay.
[28:02] » And so uh his in his opinion he did not
think what would come up. He went down
[28:08] looked for bubbles in it. He put light
on it and things of that nature. But he
[28:12] did say this. You need to flesh this
out. He as he said Hogan is not this. He
[28:19] talked about putting guards. You're
going to interstate those guards on
[28:27] put them on
[28:31] the drainage system on the far side of
the street and rear of the building. And
[28:36] do some additional site work including
cutting a ditch that would allow it to
[28:40] drain. And what else? John didn't say
>> spillway on the right side. They call it
[28:44] something else, but spillway for the
water. If it gets up to a certain point
[28:48] again and the drains get stopped up,
it'll
[28:51] instead
[28:58] cost
down there. It was a torrential rain.
[29:04] It washed down some of
that area where it washed down from his
[29:12] area. They're talking about doing some
kind of mitigation so we don't have that
[29:16] kind of problem.
Would it hurt like
[29:25] something
[29:31] » that has nothing to do with the bill's
been signed over to us? It's our
[29:35] responsibility.
[29:40] » Yeah. Unless
[29:44] » the only the only wet or damp place we
found was in that room and it's probably
[29:53] less than 12 inches up from the floor
and probably less.
[30:03] Yeah, I think that they could have done
a better job.
[30:10] They're aware of that and they're trying
to
[30:13] those specific things we mentioned too
including trying to drain that water
[30:18] back
down
[30:24] by 30 bas
[30:29] that looks
about
[30:36] One of our employees had a video I saw
coming off the parking lot.
[30:42] It looked like we had our own Niagara
Falls.
[30:45] » That was that was actually coming from
that drain. It was actually running
[30:49] around and coming down in front of the
building. So that drain's working
[30:54] efficiently. You shouldn't have that
problem. So when Hogan gets done with
[30:59] what they're doing, probably volunteer
and myself will have to make sure that
[31:06] that alleyway up through there where the
water's running is clear. It has to be
[31:12] maintained that way.
I think there was even a 55gallon drum
[31:17] floating in there. It came from
somewhere.
[31:21] So
>> they are still planning on moving
[31:24] forward with the hydro stud. I still
think
[31:27] » that's what they did today.
[31:38] » Those things I think he promised.
I'm not sure. He said we'll do that.
[31:44] » Okay.
[31:53] Saturday.
[31:57] Anything else on
>> As far as the res
[32:04] with you and the rec to me personally,
all it needs is cleaning. They should be
[32:09] good to go. But they're also having a
lot of work with the
[32:13] cameras and internet systems right now.
So,
[32:17] » well, and that'll be dependent if
they're bringing equipment in.
[32:22] to do and all that. We don't want to
have an event while that too. So, we'll
[32:28] we'll just make it a goal of September.
Hopefully, that will be completed by
[32:32] then some.
>> Um, yeah. So, there there's still
[32:37] they've done a soft and allowed some
groups to practice in there
[32:44] until that work is complete.
[32:50] » Anything else?
make sure that we don't do it on
[32:54] September 19th.
[33:00] » Absolutely. Absolutely. We have to be
cognizant of those dates.
[33:09] » Super Saturday as well.
There may be other sports.
[33:16] Make sure that it is on the calendar.
[33:25] Okay.
Request for proposal for deep cleaning.
[33:33] Were you taking on that?
[33:37] » Chris.
[33:41] » Yes. I'm sorry. I had the cemetery in
front of that. So, yes, certainly.
[33:55] We're trying to
trying to get somebody on board to start
[34:00] cleaning the depot after every
event. Um, deep cleanings a year and
[34:07] then have somebody come in and spot
clean at each event. Um,
[34:13] I would strongly encourage that we not
try to reach out or
[34:19] a request out to major cleaning
companies because I think it's going to
[34:23] cost us three times as much. I would
rather would rather that we entertain
[34:29] proposals from small business owners,
maybe one to two people
[34:38] on time.
>> And just a little background, we had
[34:43] over the last year we working
in house staff cleaning the depot. Uh
[34:50] but in terms of manpower, we just
stretched pretty thin and it wasn't
[34:56] being done.
So now to go back what we had before
[35:01] last year, which is contracting out to
take care of the people, clean the
[35:12] RFP for maintenance.
This is to try to get a little bit of
[35:18] load off of John and his staff.
A good full two days to try to do that.
[35:26] The city cemetery. Uh there's more
weeding and there is
[35:33] so um we like to try to find someone
again reaching to a small business
[35:39] rather than a large service
to get them to quote on this. Um, again,
[35:46] they're more it would save us a lot of
money if we can find someone to do that.
[35:53] » Both of those request for proposals.
When do we expect to have them out?
[35:58] » Yesterday,
it was not it was in my
[36:04] phone.
>> John is going to be the contact for both
[36:08] of them because he is in charge of
facilities as well as the cemetery. So,
[36:13] he'll be their PC.
[36:18] I would love to have somebody.
[36:24] » We have not.
[36:31] » We need to bring it.
[36:38] » Yes, sir.
>> Does that include the church?
[36:41] I thought we talked about that.
It does. I don't think that facility is
[36:46] probably used, but what?
>> Twice a year.
[36:49] » Twice a year. So, I think we can include
that in the um the quote for the depot.
[37:01] » So, you need a motion from us to
approve
[37:09] formulation of a request for
St. John Place.
[37:14] I do. One thing I see that's not on here
that probably just skipped my mind
[37:21] too is that they do need to have a
business license.
[37:27] So we'll need to add that to the should
[37:44] John
[37:58] discussion. All in favor say
>> I.
[38:04] » Okay. Next we're going to have is
cemetery maintenance. Again we have
[38:08] funds in the budget. Is that correct?
[38:18] Motion we accept the issuance of RFP
formulation of RFP for
[38:27] » second
[38:31] discussion.
All those in favor signify by saying
[38:36] » I
[38:40] Okay, now we're going to And I'll tell
you this is the final
[38:44] besides the administr
[39:01] you have not slept I think all weekend.
Thank you for your work on this. It was
[39:07] just a very quick topline
overview of what happened. We had a very
[39:12] significant event where the city of Wala
just kind of ran out of water. Let folks
[39:18] know what would happen.
>> Yeah. Friday evening after that storm
[39:22] come through the water plants called and
said they was they had dropped on their
[39:27] tank. So we went out and looked for
about three hours and not find nothing.
[39:32] And it was after it had rain. So all the
ditches were flooded and everything
[39:35] else. We like I said about 3 hours
Friday. There was still tanks on
[39:42] Saturday morning. I come back around
probably about 4:30 and
[39:50] they had been empty. So we I started
calling people in and we started looking
[39:53] and we checked every cross and
everything went through the woods and we
[39:58] could not find nothing. Hey, look.
From 4:30 to
[40:03] whatever time, 11, 12, I don't remember
exactly when it was.
[40:08] I just have go down through Duck Pond.
And um when I went to turn around, I had
[40:15] rolled my window down. I heard water and
when I got a truck, I could not see the
[40:19] water, but I could hear it. The water
was running under a bunch of kudzu and
[40:24] it was it was running like a river, so
you would have never been able to see
[40:27] it.
We uh we got it shut down.
[40:34] We got it back going
[40:38] around
[40:43] 5:00
>> I'm sure
[40:46] » Sunday morning.
>> This was this was a relatively new
[40:54] probably six years ago.
I don't hold to it, but I don't when I
[41:00] don't really know the cause. I'm going
to say it. Lightning might have been a
[41:04] cause, but I'm not 100% sure.
>> But you didn't see anything laying.
[41:08] » No, sir. But like when it's when it
rains like that, that pipe moves
[41:13] constantly in the ground. So when it
rains, it loosens the ground and stuff.
[41:17] And a rock might get against it. or if
it's dry has been in a drought, it'll
[41:24] you know you're trying to get hard. Now
I said the same thing that line moves
[41:28] constantly and something get against it
and blow it out. It's the line never and
[41:35] temperature changes. It gets hot to
cold, cold to hot ground changes. It's
[41:41] going pop. It's going
>> split. And the pipe we're going down
[41:45] with now with pipe as we lay is
something called duct tile.
[41:49] » Ductile iron
>> which is iron which is a lot stronger
[41:52] than what we had.
>> Yes. Duct iron splits different than
[41:55] plastic. Plastic usually most of the
time it split 20 foot joint if it does
[42:01] that belt iron actually split a circle
all the way around it.
[42:06] » But it's stronger.
>> Yes. Yes. I mean, I've got
[42:12] 107 year old iron pot from the old the
old mountain line still in the ground
[42:20] and it's still going strong.
>> If I could, I'd like to
[42:26] absolutely
thank you, Lane. I uh really appreciate
[42:32] the crew. We appreciate all the other
cities and the police department,
[42:37] everybody working together. Uh that was
a big deal for us and the citizens of
[42:43] Holland and we we really appreciate
y'all coming together. Um but you know,
[42:47] I really want to get to talk about
a lot of stuff goes on Facebook about
[42:53] all these breaks and stuff. People don't
understand what what's going on. So, uh
[42:59] I think the mayor got with some of the
girls today and they They came up with a
[43:04] lead. I'm going we're going to talk
about that. So, this is
[43:09] » we've had 20 total in the last this uh
this year
[43:13] » before you get this is a Patrick
Jackson. He's actually my contract
[43:17] distribution oper.
>> I've actually asked him to be here today
[43:21] because he can answer I mean I can
answer your ball work but he can
[43:24] probably do better than I can. Okay.
>> Okay.
[43:28] » I just want to go over this first
related installation of new ones. We had
[43:34] seven. So, and a lot of people don't
understand, you know, they're just, you
[43:38] know, they may get mud or something or
air in their lines and they all get
[43:44] people get on Facebook and and just
start talking and uh just messes
[43:48] everything. U on February 3rd, Stillwell
tie in Wall Street. We had a B advisory
[43:56] then. March 26, Stillwell tie in South
Broad Street. April 9th, Stillwell tie
[44:03] in Westminster Highway and H Highway.
April 14th, Stillwell tie in West
[44:09] halfway.
>> These are tieins that are new lines. May
[44:14] I ask y'all why do we have to when you
put the new line to explain the full
[44:19] water advisor then? When you put a when
they're doing a tap on a new line, we
[44:24] usually have to cut the line off because
they're most like some people do a hot
[44:29] tap with a valve on line. They're doing
not cutting in TE's and doing a valve.
[44:34] So, we got to take the kill the water so
they can fill all that in. So, when you
[44:39] and when DHCK tells us when we lose
significant pressure, we have to do more
[44:42] wateries.
>> Okay.
[44:45] » That doesn't necessarily mean the
water's going to harm you, right? That
[44:49] just means you possibility.
>> Yeah,
[44:54] the reg are pretty pretty clear. Um, if
you have a issue of low pressure or low
[45:00] water affects a significant portion of
your distribution system, you're
[45:05] required to one or two notices. An
advisory is precautionary.
[45:11] Um, a notice is mandatory. If, for
example, god forbid, we have
[45:16] contamination issue, that would be a
notice that might say do not use
[45:21] So I I think all of these have been and
I've only been involved in a few weeks
[45:27] uh precautionary the regs are clear if
you drop below 20 PSI or think there's a
[45:34] threat of contamination you need to do
public notification. Um so in the last
[45:40] few weeks I probably taught this more
than I taught my wife
[45:45] but we're mandated to do that. Um and
smaller stuff. We can do some checks and
[45:51] balances. We do flow stuff, check
chlorine, have a reasonable
[45:57] assurance that everything's safe. But we
would, at least while I'm involved,
[46:01] always like air on the side of caution.
Even if it's unpleasant in the public
[46:05] eye, it's there to protect the public
and we're obligated to do that.
[46:11] I'm going to go by related to sele
[46:17] total of seven
contractor calls. Uh this is April 1st,
[46:22] June 9th, June 23rd, June, July 10th,
and July 21st. The contractor calls.
[46:30] Explain what happens with that, Zane,
when we have what? Well,
[46:36] if it's fiber company, they they send
crews like they'll have crews in here
[46:43] with nothing but sharp shooters and
picks and dig holes and they will they
[46:48] will come and like dig a hole here, go
30 foot, dig another hole, do the same
[46:54] thing. They're using pneumatic boring
systems um to um bore with. So, our dad
[47:01] are directional machines. So, A lot of
them lines get heat or plows. They come
[47:06] in with plows and set them in the ground
and just go and it'll rip out whatever.
[47:11] I've had I know this has been a company
a few years ago, but I've actually had a
[47:15] company was plowing up Highway 11 from
Nick Quick and they plowed through my 10
[47:21] in the iron line. It looked like a can
over went across it. So
[47:24] » was there any repercussions
toward that?
[47:28] » You can try to locate right you can try
them but pay is a whole different story.
[47:36] Okay,
>> let me ask one thing on that too
[47:41] that now pipes are put out with locator
wire ductile.
[47:47] » Well, it still has wire on it too. We
still fire wire up.
[47:51] » But in the past
>> the older pipes there was no locator.
[47:56] There was no locator anything
>> many many many years contractors hit it
[48:02] and we say
we don't have any basis on which to
[48:06] build
hitting those lines because we didn't
[48:09] have them.
>> Yes sir. You got so many feet. If you're
[48:12] all
>> think 30, I think.
[48:16] » I think 30 in. If you're all 30 in on
your mark, it's not their fault.
[48:22] » Yeah, it just changed in May 22nd. I
think
[48:26] the 811 law
>> was modified this past.
[48:31] » Nothing we can do about it. We have
>> no or if you're off on a mark,
[48:35] » which does happen,
but if you're on your mark and you have
[48:41] Some questions
are power. We have five going to them on
[48:48] April 21st at water natural cause
like you know weather
[48:57] like rock blew up under the ground
causing damage and
[49:03] » our lightning
>> June 29th the rock station power from
[49:10] storms July 20 31st water line break
natural causes
[49:17] Westminster has highway
April 16th water that's again you know
[49:24] you got rocks and stuff we don't have no
control over this no control
[49:32] August 16
bro
[49:39] 17 water line break tree blew over
during stom hit above ground water pipes
[49:46] near playground road. Uh let me explain
what goes on this gets a call or our
[49:54] water department gets a call.
We don't know what causes that you kick
[50:00] in here if you need to. We don't know
what causes it. They're out there trying
[50:04] to find out what causes the problem,
where it's at, and what they need to do
[50:10] and how much equipment they need. Uh,
so a lot of people want to know, you
[50:17] know, what are we going to do? What's
happening? You know, are we going to
[50:20] have water? We won't be able to tell
that until after
[50:25] they get done with everything. So when
he gets done fixing everything, that's
[50:30] when they, well, we need to do water
advisory. That's when we'll know where
[50:38] why it happened and where it was. He was
talking to him this weekend. He was just
[50:44] it was I felt sorry for him. He had like
two two or three phone calls coming in
[50:49] at one time and
uh he hadn't slept in three days. You
[50:54] know, that's a dedicated, you know, his
department's dedicated and uh
[50:59] you can't get him to go home. So
I almost just want to make you go home
[51:04] so they sleep. So
>> we have to corral
[51:09] » but goes back again. We want people to
be we want people to have clean water
[51:14] and they do too. But there's a way we've
got what's called a crossover. So if
[51:19] somebody's dirty water in their house,
they need to contact the city. The city
[51:23] can go over there. I don't want to have
to pay to clean my house out. Nor should
[51:27] they. So they got a crossover that they
can put in that they take their meter
[51:32] out and they they like straight pipe and
then that way some homeowner can take a
[51:40] garbage I mean
a a garden hose and hook it up and then
[51:45] turn it on and let it drain their water.
And we've got a gentleman doing that
[51:50] right now. He has a substantial amount
of mud coming in. And when the mud comes
[51:56] in, what causes that thing?
>> It's probably
[52:01] where
we was when it like the tanks go low
[52:06] like rock, you know, it's probably
sucking the line. So it's stirring up
[52:12] all the stuff that's like in the duck
line like in all the word
[52:19] cast.
>> What causes?
[52:23] » Yes, sir. after years of years of water
running through it and stuff, it kind of
[52:29] it looks like rust chunks and it'll
build up that side. So when you're when
[52:34] the line the tanks go dry and it's
pulling that water, it's stirring that
[52:38] stuff up. It's just like when you turn a
fire hydrant on the first time you use
[52:43] water is the water is dirty when it
comes out the fire hydrant where it
[52:46] hadn't been running. How do you clear
that out?
[52:48] » This co b flushing lines by blow offs
and running hydrants and everything.
[52:55] » But a lot of it has to do with where
people sit. If people sit in the bottom
[52:59] of a hole, it's not going to get out of
there like it would. You're sitting up
[53:03] high. It's kind of like air. Air don't
air gets trapped in the bottom the high
[53:07] spots where you have to get leave air
out of the line when you're flusting.
[53:12] There's also things that the oil plants
been doing with polish and stuff.
[53:18] » That's reason it's reduced a lot. Um and
holder lines there's ways that they can
[53:24] keep that stuff from
turning loose.
[53:31] There's ways you can make it turn loose.
You go one way or the other too far. So
[53:36] that's something that Tom's done a
really good job on at the water plant.
[53:40] So until we have these big
breaks or breaking a lot, most of it's
[53:47] been taken care of, I believe. But I
want to go back to the city other
[53:56] February 13th line was hit by city
during work.
[54:02] We make mistakes, too. We fix them. You
know,
[54:08] that was an accident. So, March 18th, a
motor vehicle accident hit a fire hider
[54:13] on Charlie M. Fix that. May 13th, the
rocking old pump station was down to the
[54:19] pressure. That's going to happen. So, we
want to make things right. But the main
[54:24] thing is we need to have people call in
a complaint. They got dirty water. The
[54:31] city of Wah don't want nobody that have
dirty water. There's no way that we can
[54:35] clean their water. Just app just just
call. And if they can't get a hold of
[54:41] the city, call me. My phone number is
out there 8647232793
[54:48] and or call another council. I
>> get calls
[54:54] on this.
>> Any other member of
[54:57] » our people are very busy. They uh they
take this to heart and we we don't want
[55:02] nobody having no drink water. I think we
got some of the best water around and so
[55:08] I'm not scared to drink.
>> Let me let me jump in.
[55:13] Looking at the positives. I see Zay
here. John and we'll say something we
[55:17] already know is that we have you guys
took our water plant
[55:24] needs improvement rating in July of 25
>> but that was not because of bad water
[55:31] because
>> right I'm getting that
[55:35] » we took it from that and that was
because we didn't have operational
[55:38] manuals all completely filled out with
SOP in the heads or wasn't organized and
[55:45] lack a backflow program too. Kathy is
making sure we have. And uh so in those
[55:51] six months, thanks to you and John and
Tommy, we went from that to the highest
[55:56] rating state the state has can give. And
that was impressive. Down 14 and over
[56:04] 14.5 million dollars worth of
improvements to our water system
[56:08] implemented that or finalized that since
June of 2024. We have a lot more to go.
[56:13] We know that. But I want to know those.
And the final thing going to what Mr.
[56:18] Underwood was saying.
>> I ain't done yet, but I'm
[56:22] » I'll finish this because I really want
to get this out here. Since century, the
[56:26] city of Wajala's water has never failed
to meet or exceed EPA standards. And
[56:32] they don't just test it coming out of
the water. They test it in various
[56:36] random locations around the water
system. And it has never failed to meet
[56:41] or exceed EPA standards. So the water's
clean, the water's good. That has never
[56:47] been the issue of all the water. I drink
it all the time.
[56:51] » I want to put this out there, too. I
know Facebook is a thing out there. I
[56:56] don't do Facebook. So I may look at it,
but what I see is people just want to
[57:01] stir stuff up. So they need to call the
city. The city don't do something or a
[57:08] council member or something, then you
know you got
[57:12] All I've seen is you see dirty water and
stuff, but for the most part, I seen
[57:18] something on there last night where some
a woman was fuss and they told her to go
[57:22] back to sleep. She don't even live in
the city. So, you know, that's just I
[57:25] ain't even going to listen to Facebook.
You don't call the city then, you know,
[57:30] we're not going we can't fix nothing on
Facebook. They need to call city hall.
[57:35] you know, uh,
it upsets because this is a city of Waja
[57:40] and we're sitting here and we've got a
name for our, you know, people are all
[57:44] talking about that we got bad water. We
got bad water. People won't move here
[57:48] because of that. That's wrong. We don't
have bad water. We can fix it. It's
[57:53] dirty sometimes, but we can fix it.
There's reasons why. And then you call
[57:58] that
now ad hoc committee, some of the stuff,
[58:03] you know, we some personnel issues. We
hadn't been able to start today. When we
[58:08] interviewed the new city administrator,
he was very he was very uh enthusiastic
[58:16] about the water and the problems and
stuff that he saw, you know, and it's
[58:21] not nothing that stuff we need to do.
So, this water water advisory, you know,
[58:25] we need to improve some of the contact
options and enhance the customer access
[58:31] to the water department, you know. But
that's all us working together to do
[58:36] that. Uh
[58:40] so improve public transparency and grant
funding and acquire matching dollars,
[58:45] expand information signage and city
offices. Uh provide lines to the G GIS
[58:53] water mapping system. Uh but it's just
it goes on and on. We haven't been able
[58:59] to implement this because they'll have,
you know, with our uh
[59:05] And one of the things that I would like
to do, but we were we've been talking
[59:10] about it was you hear 75% of our
customer base is on the outside of the
[59:16] city. Uh let's see.
[59:23] While utility I was looking at advisory,
we had talked about this. voted on it by
[59:28] advisory board. The board will be tasked
with advising the utilities director and
[59:32] the city council with representing the
customer respective areas. The board
[59:37] will compro comprise the uh council
utility committee chair a representative
[59:43] from each of the following areas inside
city limits. Okone County Council
[59:48] District 1, OK County District 2 and
Okone County District 5.
[59:53] » You mean outside the city?
>> Outside the city. Yes, sir. Prospective
[59:56] uh representatives will be required to
apply for a seat and it's similar to a
[1:00:01] process for a planning commission or
board stinging appeals BZA.
[1:00:06] Additionally, representative must be a
wala utilities customer and reside
[1:00:11] within a district they represent. The
advisory board would operate within a
[1:00:16] legislative or executive without his
legislative or executive powers. The
[1:00:22] initiative aims to provide an avenue for
customers residing outside the city
[1:00:27] limits to voice their concern and have
direct representation to the city. So
[1:00:32] what that says is somebody's got a
question about something. We're all
[1:00:36] talking. We're not going to Facebook and
this person says this or this person
[1:00:39] says that and everything gets mixed up.
You know, they got a problem, they come
[1:00:44] here, they get it fixed and we go from
there.
[1:00:49] So this I don't do Facebook. I don't do
it. So I won't you got to complain. I
[1:00:56] ain't looking at it. I don't Facebook
and not so just be blunt and honest
[1:01:00] about it. So
we're trying. So
[1:01:05] I'm shut up.
>> That was well done. I I do have one
[1:01:09] observation for water advisor.
There 20 of them we had this year. 12 of
[1:01:16] them, one of them are caused by, as you
mentioned, new new water lines, uh, five
[1:01:22] contractors. But here's the thing, the
natural causes, the things where the
[1:01:26] lines break.
There were five of them. 40% of that
[1:01:31] happened three days until Saturday only
had three.
[1:01:37] So that's just an interesting thing I
noted from that. We had
[1:01:43] one on Saturday.
One more.
[1:01:53] Why does it come out? They got still
dirt.
[1:02:00] I'm not real sure on filters
[1:02:06] on that part. And I mean, it could be
their side. I mean depends on what kind
[1:02:13] of pipe they got in the house and stuff,
but I have been out in places that's got
[1:02:18] filters on their house called or put it
on Facebook and I pulled water from my
[1:02:23] side. My water just as clean as it can
be.
[1:02:28] » Anything else?
>> Yeah, it's not always settlement. I've
[1:02:33] seen filters on chicken houses
me evidently will oxidize out. turn, but
[1:02:42] it's typically suspended in drinking
water and blood
[1:02:48] to John's point that be the corrosion
inhibitor to coat the pipes to prevent
[1:02:53] that from happening.
[1:03:04] » One thing I'd like to say is
the
[1:03:12] that people don't see.
[1:03:16] Last night I received a phone call. I
called Zane.
[1:03:21] Somebody reported to me the water out
off the playground road and Zane already
[1:03:26] knew about it. He went away. I said,
"You will meet me at city hall. I'll go
[1:03:33] because I feel like I need to see what's
going on so that I can
[1:03:40] not defend them but understand it.
So when they located it got out there
[1:03:48] and I want you to understand it rain.
[1:03:53] There was a tree that Zayn and I
probably couldn't reach around both of
[1:03:58] us. You know we would have had to hold
hands
[1:04:03] and at the time he had him and Jesse
there and just so happened that I was
[1:04:11] there
and boys pull out chainsaws
[1:04:15] and go cut trees so that they can get to
these lines
[1:04:18] » in the
>> in the
[1:04:22] string.
[1:04:25] Not only that, they were power lines
down.
[1:04:29] And I don't know about you, but me and
water and power don't mix.
[1:04:35] Um,
Zayn and I went to the yard there at
[1:04:41] their place to load pipe.
It was almost an hour. It's just me and
[1:04:48] him. Now, he had other people coming in,
right? because this was this was a
[1:04:54] pretty big undertaking.
We get back over there and these two men
[1:04:59] in a hole almost up to their knees in
mud with it still rain
[1:05:04] with some water coming out of the pipes.
the things like that that people don't
[1:05:08] see that I wish they would wear GoPro
cameras
[1:05:14] and record it so that some of this
negative mess would shut up
[1:05:20] because the dedication that that man
sitting right back there showed he said
[1:05:26] you want me to take you home it's over
in the morning I got a business to run
[1:05:30] he said you want me to take you home I
said no sir I'll be here you go
[1:05:36] And it it seemed like to me, Zane, it
took forever because I go to bed pretty
[1:05:42] early. Matter of fact, I was in bed with
my telephone ring.
[1:05:47] » He never one time complained.
>> Never one time he complained.
[1:05:55] He complained about his lip hurting
because he had chewed so much to back
[1:05:59] trying to calm his nerves that it
burning inside of his mouth.
[1:06:05] That's the only complaint he made. He
never one time complained.
[1:06:09] So what I'm saying is
on these scenes, there's more to it than
[1:06:16] taking a tractor and digging a hole and
fixing a pipe.
[1:06:22] Well, Chris ain't cut out for work like
that. I'll just be honest with you. I I
[1:06:27] work in air condition every day.
But this is what I'm going to tell you.
[1:06:32] We've got the most dedicated crews of
men and women here in W that I believe
[1:06:39] we've ever had. And for that, I commend
you, Zane. This town wouldn't be what it
[1:06:46] is today without you. And uh if it means
anything, you old boy like me sure does
[1:06:51] appreciate.
>> I I agree with that. We said at the top
[1:06:57] of the meeting, we have just our
strength in this city, the team that we
[1:07:01] have
dedicated voice.
[1:07:04] » You all pull together over and over.
>> That being said, I don't give you
[1:07:25] one more thing. That's where the blood
comes back in when the water's in that
[1:07:29] big hole. That's where we're going
sometime.
[1:07:34] » All right.
System. All right. Let's move on to the
[1:07:40] administrative report.
>> Actually, I don't have anything to pass
[1:07:44] things I want to talk to you about going
forward.
[1:07:47] First off is I got you may have
administrator mailbox to correspond with
[1:07:54] something youth energy is launching a
main street revitalization grant
[1:08:00] program. It looks like it fits exactly
what
[1:08:06] improvement streetscape enhancement
blinded windows
[1:08:11] programs
[1:08:14] finding signage things like that. You
said that to me.
[1:08:17] » Yeah. Yeah, right here. I was But we
definitely need to I would think we
[1:08:23] qualify. The problem is application
period is August 3rd and 31st.
[1:08:28] » That's all right.
>> Okay.
[1:08:31] » Just working under pressure. Well, there
is
[1:08:36] this is
[1:08:43] about
[1:08:46] Thursday
[1:08:50] restoration may not be here but it's
>> $3 million restoration.
[1:08:58] » It's almost said
It's 10,000 ft linear feet of debris
[1:09:05] removal in one direction and 10,000 in
the other direction with about
[1:09:11] 25 feet of filter. It looks like a big
clean
[1:09:23] » I think it's going to be a lot.
No, it starts over here at the tree farm
[1:09:29] and goes that way.
>> That's where street cut it in half.
[1:09:33] » No, be oral street. So run actually run
street across the popular street across
[1:09:40] church street underneath
highway bridge all the way back to Toma
[1:09:46] Lake back in back behind.
Yeah, of course I talked today
[1:09:58] somehow, but September one is when the
occur that would be not next Tuesday,
[1:10:04] but the following Tuesday.
So that's a very tight I think the city
[1:10:09] got in a time frame here. I understand
they applied for grant but ACOG's going
[1:10:14] to help administer it now. Woman named
her last name
[1:10:19] » Jill Francisco.
>> Yeah. So anyway, okay, that's a pretty
[1:10:27] request for
>> Oh, yeah. Opening on Thursday.
[1:10:31] » Big open be Thursday.
>> Actually, this we got this grant about
[1:10:36] the time that the federal shutdown
started. So, it got held up and that.
[1:10:40] So, we're kind of on a tight schedule to
get this started.
[1:10:45] » So, we'll have to have a meeting between
now and September.
[1:10:55] They have to have time to check.
So I think September
[1:11:01] we have to have council approval of this
before September 1st. I think he wants
[1:11:07] to come on September 1st. The impression
I got today
[1:11:11] I think he wants to open check
but anyway
[1:11:16] » would you confirm that timeline?
I'm not talking today. He has to be
[1:11:21] approved by September 1st.
>> Okay.
[1:11:27] » Last thing, one thing I talked to mayor
before we leave, we I'd like to talk
[1:11:33] about possibly a budget amendment allow
us to restate the revenue expending
[1:11:44] on that since he closes out the fiscal
year next year. Make sure he understands
[1:11:48] to do, but it may be I might be in the
best position when this process is over
[1:11:53] be able to come forward and explain it
to you because it's going to require
[1:11:56] creation of accounts for outstanding
projects. So I want to plant that seed
[1:12:01] in your mind that need finance Jason
which is substantial
[1:12:09] » and this this revolves around
>> absolutely
[1:12:16] yes. So as soon as I get a date from
Jason, I'll let you folks know
[1:12:22] what needs to be done
here
[1:12:29] bridge. I know we just opened up an
account
[1:12:36] today and we're sending it back over. So
that should be in a separate
[1:12:39] » account.
[1:12:51] Um
[1:12:56] » did you get So you got the minutes and
everything.
[1:12:59] » Yes.
[1:13:05] » That's all I
[1:13:09] All right. So, uh
I just want to circle back. Chris, would
[1:13:14] you make a scan of this? This is the
weather committee, our fire department.
[1:13:18] Send it to all of us and also Sanford
[1:13:28] is not here.
[1:13:31] » Okay. I don't believe we have anything
more I have anything more to add at this
[1:13:35] point. So we will entertain a motion
that we
[1:13:40] » motion to
>> motion and a second. Any discussion? Any
[1:13:45] protests? No. Okay.
>> All in favor say I.
[1:13:50] » I.
[1:13:59] I don't
