Is there a motion? 27 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:12,599 » Yes, mayor. I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda as is. 28 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:12,599 Second. 29 00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,160 Any discussion? All in favor, please raise your hand. 30 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,760 Moving along. There's some many reports. Rachel is thinking the TDA. No, ma'am. 31 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,840 No, mayor. We don't think new report this month. 32 00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:35,239 Move on to Mr. Walter, the planning and zoning commission. 33 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,840 » Mayor, council, good to see you all again. I have uh I prepared an updated 34 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:47,040 zoning administrative report. Tried to catch up on some things that were um 35 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:50,000 were happening. I know there's some items that'll be discussed later on the 36 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:55,920 business agenda. So, I just sort of noted them there. And I was just having 37 00:02:52,160 --> 00:03:00,080 a conversation with um Joe about Stonehaven. So, we were discussing that 38 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,800 that was our sidebar. So, I'm going to do some research and follow up with him 39 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:10,239 on some questions. Um, other than that, we don't really have any plans under 40 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:14,959 review other than we have um I think we finally got the storm sewer as bills 41 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:21,519 approved for Walnut Grove commercial center and u there may be another of 42 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,840 some of these projects may not be still active. I just need to follow up with 43 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,959 staff on that. But right now I think folks are just kind of waiting and 44 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:35,440 seeing on activity here between that and the roundabout construction. 45 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,280 » Anybody have any questions? >> Um there are a couple of things that are 46 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,720 there being stone that was down to completion. 47 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,400 » Okay. Sometimes we refer to things here and I don't have a clue what it is. 48 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,400 Stone heavy would be an example that would be related. 49 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:54,239 » Okay. Thank you. It started last 50 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,120 diamond creek. >> Yeah. But now 51 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,040 » question 52 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,480 mayor. Well, since I have y'all hear the you said there were some on the action 53 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:15,599 that could be moved to >> Church of the Grove. 54 00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:20,400 » Church of the Grove is complete. I'll move it. 55 00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:28,199 » Okay. Guess it's completing they are worshiping there. So, 56 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,199 all right. I'll move there. 57 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,919 » One of those things we need to get information on to be able to I'll follow 58 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:51,280 up with J when I look up this other item and we can make sure. Um, thank you. 59 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:56,080 » Thank you. Hey, 60 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,759 move on to the library for Dana. Come on up, Dana. 61 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,759 » Thank you. >> Thank you for being here. 62 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:06,160 » I'm so happy to be here. It was a great day. I got to work on a book order for 63 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,720 this month. >> You're welcome. 64 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,560 » Um, ma'am, >> we finally got all the kinks worked out 65 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,000 with the new publishing company with accessing books from the library. So, I 66 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:25,520 had several hundred books arrive the past couple of weeks. And today I get to 67 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:29,919 do another large order um to get a lot more books for our library. The 68 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,120 turnaround time has been great, too. So, we're getting them approximately a month 69 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:40,400 after I ordered them, which is fabulous. Way faster than I've ever received them 70 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:46,960 before. Uh summer reading has been going really great. We will actually wrap up 71 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:51,840 summer reading program on July 29th. I think that's Yeah, it's a Wednesday. And 72 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:57,520 I just found out today that we might be able to do a small school supply 73 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:02,240 giveaway that day. Uh we'll limit the items to a certain number per person 74 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:06,960 that comes into the library. Maybe five five items per person that comes in for 75 00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:11,600 our summer reading program that day. But I I'm just working out all the details 76 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:15,520 since the person who is donating those just contacted me today and said they 77 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,720 would definitely be able to have them within two weeks by the time we have 78 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:26,880 that summer reading program. Today we had Santa John and we um celebrated a 79 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:31,360 special Christmas in July story time. His wife Mrs. Claus wrote a new book 80 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,520 about snowflakes that she shared with our patrons and we had a really good 81 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:41,759 turnout for that. Normally it's a small crowd, but we had about 29 people come. 82 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:46,560 So that really surprised me. Um and and that was good for such a kind of niche 83 00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:52,319 event to have at the library, especially on a Thursday morning. Um we do have a 84 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,680 great turnout for our Tuesday morning story time. We have 30, 40, 50 people 85 00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:02,479 come every single week for that. So, but um other story times sometimes it's a 86 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:07,680 little hit or miss how many people will attend. And we also had yesterday we had 87 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:11,919 Bonnie Kes is doing some financial literacy um trainings for us at the 88 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,560 library and she started off yesterday with one with the children called 89 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:22,160 growing money. It's a Baron Stain Bears program that they have and it's about 90 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:27,199 saving and she did a great job and I do want to highlight that she'll be back in 91 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:32,160 August at the end of August on the 26th with a financial literacy program called 92 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,639 building a better budget and then from those um 93 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,599 programs that she does, she will do other programs as well based off of what 94 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:46,560 the community wants to hear about. So it might be, you know, how to purchase your 95 00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:50,960 first home or how to save for your children to go to college or whatever 96 00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:55,759 the community wants. She will tailor those financial literacy programs for 97 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:59,680 what the community is wanting to learn more about. And she does a great job and 98 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:05,440 a lot of you probably already know her because she does every outreach outreach 99 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:11,039 event that I go to, she's there. Um, we also have tomorrow is Filmer Food Pantry 100 00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:14,960 Day. Donations have been good though. Um, but back when I planned this a month 101 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:19,759 and a half ago, which is how far in advance I plan our calendar, uh, it was 102 00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:23,280 getting a little low. So, we're still going to have our food pantry day 103 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:28,080 tomorrow because we'll you'll use the donations. They always go, but I will 104 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:32,159 say I'm I'm pleased that our community has really stepped up this whole entire 105 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,200 summer and we've done a great job supplying food for our community. Uh, 106 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:41,440 let's see what else we have. Children's and Music and Movement used to be a 107 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:46,000 Friday morning program. Uh Miss Jenny now has a full-time job during the week. 108 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:49,839 So, she has moved those to Saturdays. So, they're on Saturday mornings once or 109 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,959 twice a month. She normally does almost every other, but uh for July, she'll do 110 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,959 a special mermaid story time in two weeks time instead of a children's music 111 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,160 and movement. So, she does a lot of really special events for us as well. 112 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:05,519 winter >> and we tend to get a good turnout for 113 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:10,399 those, but it has been an adjustment going from Fridays to Saturdays. So, 114 00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:15,440 it's a little bit of a different crowd. Um, next week on Wednesday, July 15th, 115 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:19,519 we have a library library love book drive. The purpose of that is to 116 00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:23,839 replenish all the books we've been giving away for our summer reading 117 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:28,800 program. So, every 10 books that a child reads, they get a free book all summer 118 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:33,680 long. And every five books that a teen or a young or an adult reads, they get a 119 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:37,920 free book also involved. We have tons of adult prizes, by the way. There, that's 120 00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:43,760 never a problem. But the children's books go very quickly. Um, so I'm doing 121 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:50,080 like a replenishment for that. And then whatever doesn't get used up this month, 122 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:55,360 we will save for next summer. So I spend a whole year collecting those prizes. 123 00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:00,640 And um so we might build this library love book drive in maybe quarterly to 124 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,000 help get really great prizes for our children. And we did get a lot of 125 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,880 compliments this year on the prizes that we've had and the books that we've had 126 00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:15,200 for them. So that's been great. Um Mayor Mree Reading Club is now meeting on 127 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:19,600 Thursdays and July 23rd is also >> National Vanilla Ice Cream Day. So we 128 00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:24,000 will give away ice cream >> um to everybody who attends their M cru 129 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:29,680 story time that day. >> Uh so we love to do special events and 130 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:33,680 our friends of the library um has no problem covering special little treats 131 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:38,560 and things like that for us. So basically how that works is through our 132 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:42,160 book sale that we goes into the friends and then the 133 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:47,279 friends in turn gives it right back to us to do special little events and 134 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:52,800 programs like that one. So, excited about that. Um, my team worked really 135 00:10:49,839 --> 00:10:58,000 hard this summer. We were down a 10-hour position all summer long and they really 136 00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:02,480 stepped up and did a great job with working extra hard all summer long, 137 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:08,560 including today when I left them there and I'm just so proud of them. So, we do 138 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:12,800 have a position posted right now and the only way to apply for that is online. 139 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:17,760 The applications go to our regional office and then they forward them to me. 140 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:22,240 So we are hiring. Does anybody have any questions for me? 141 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,680 » Jazz hour. >> What's up? 142 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,839 » Jazz hour. >> Jazz hour is going great. We just play 143 00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:31,279 jazz music for 1 hour. Normally it's on a Friday afternoon because most people 144 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:35,360 are not working or studying on a Friday afternoon right before closing time and 145 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:39,760 we've gotten a lot of positive feedback from that. So it's just very relaxing. 146 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,788 We wanted to have some music in the library just once a month just to like 147 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:47,680 make it a little bit lively and [clears throat] we really enjoy it and 148 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,680 the patrons have so far too. >> That's right. 149 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,560 » Will the teen meeting start up again when school starts? 150 00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:59,519 » Yes. As a matter of fact, there'll be a teen advisory board meeting. We have two 151 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:06,480 coming up. One is this month on Wednesday, July 22nd at 4:30. 152 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:13,040 And then um the teens have requested to do a Saturday book club. So in August um 153 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:19,279 when school starts back, the teen advisory book club will meet on 154 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Saturday, August 15th at 11:00 a.m. and they will decide on which book they're 155 00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:28,560 going to do. They have some options. So at the meeting this month, they'll make 156 00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:32,880 a decision on the options they were given and then they'll probably meet and 157 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:36,720 discuss that in August. So yeah, take advantage. 158 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:40,240 » Very good. >> Thank you. Thanks. 159 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,320 I can talk to you about the movie projector screen. 160 00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:47,360 » About what projector screen? >> Sure. Making requests from regional. 161 00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:53,360 Just let me know. >> Thanks. 162 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:56,360 Okay. Public comment on anything on the agenda. 163 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:07,079 Hey, we'll move on. Old business. Yeah.
