chapter 51,

00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,760
section 5109 of the Waverly Municipal

proposed uh 7% increase.

57
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Um and this does follow the um

58
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,800
JEO um utility rate study that we had

59
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,360
done in 2024. And so, we would be

60
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,360
um on this column here for 2027.

61
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,920
And um

62
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,600
it would the base charge most of our

63
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,480
users, residential users, are 1-in um

64
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,040
service meter. So, that would go from

65
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,520
2046 to 2189.

66
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,101

per gallon rate um

71
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,520
would go up as well.

72
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Um, I did do with the proposed um 7%

73
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,720
increase, I did do a

74
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,880
an estimation. I took a a residential

75
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,560
water bill that for the month of July um

76
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,959
where they had used um 12,000 gallons of

77
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:46,040
water.

78
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,880
Um

79
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,640
previously, their water bill um

80
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,280
was

81
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,040
uh

82
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,720
$48.12,

83
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,196
and that would go up to $51.45.

84
00:02:56,196 --> 00:02:57,080
[clears throat]

85
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,870
So, an increase of $3.33.

86
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,680
Um, in a month uh when um water

87
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,519
consumption isn't being used for um

88
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:09,680
irrigation, their bill was $31.29, and

89
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,000
then went up $2.03.

90
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,120
Or I'm sorry, it was $29.26, and it went

91
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,560
to $31.29. So, an increase of $2.03

92
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,560
with the 7% increase.

93
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,680
>> And 7% is what we did the last year as

94
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,017
well, correct? Right? All right.

95
00:03:25,017 --> 00:03:26,120
>> [clears throat and cough]

96
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,480
>> I think most Sorry. When we when we

97
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,680
looked at

98
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,720
a couple of years ago when we were

99
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,440
really monitoring

100
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,560
the situation of water quantity, I

101
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,120
believe most residents were under like

102
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,040
15,000 gallons. Is that accurate?

103
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,640
>> Yeah, correct. And I

104
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,800
feel that

105
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,252
you know, even in the summer time

106
00:03:49,252 --> 00:03:49,560
>> [clears throat]

107
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,600
>> definitely under 20,000 gallons is going

108
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,480
to is definitely going to be what most

109
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,360
people are paying.

110
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,040
Okay.

111
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,400
What questions do you guys have?

112
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,440
Or comments?

113
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,360
>> Did JEO studies show that we were

114
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,080
the high lowest price, right?

115
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,520
>> Mhm.

116
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,120
>> For water of our surrounding communities

117

123

trifold that shows the surrounding

126
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,440

anybody can get on and look what that is

128
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,240
and whatever. Um I think it's about a

129
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,040
year behind.

130
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,080
It takes a little bit for that to get

131
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,680
updated. But But that Yeah, that

132
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:46,070

previous bill was $50.05

155
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,960

same thing cuz sewer usage is an

160
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,440
average, so it will goes up a dollar

161
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,670

Um 2% um

166
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,160

167
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,640
can pay cash for as much um

168
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,840
definitely for all the maintenance

169
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:16,720

170
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,400
capital improvement projects we may be

00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,080
able to pay cash for. Um with the water

172

fund, um we are a little bit tighter on

173
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,080

that um rate study does

increased sewer.

189
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,080
So, last year we did increase the sewer,

190
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,000
but the pre-prior years to that we did

191
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,960
not increase sewer.

192
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,510
Okay.

193
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,120
Anything else?

194
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,080
All right, let's go ahead and call for a

195
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,630
vote please.

196
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,400
Motion carried 3 to 0. Number three,

197
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,280
sheriff's report, Ron Ellis.

198
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,120
>> Good evening.

199
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,840
>> I'll send it to you. Have a smores

200
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,405
cookie, thank you, Mayor.

201
00:07:25,405 --> 00:07:25,919
>> [laughter]

202
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:28,160
>> Um I I don't have a lot, but I'm going

203
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,840
to unpack what we've been working on. I

204
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,160
think it's no surprise. Um this the

205
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,760
e-bikes that we've been talking about,

206
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,360
the e-scooters. This is a I don't even

207
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,520
say it's a problem, it's just going to

208
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,200
be a challenge for us. That's not going

209
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,720
to go away, it's only exacerbating

210
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,640
itself, and that's where we're at right

211
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,720
now. So, instead of fighting water, we

212
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,240
work with water, and this is what we

213
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,600
have, and I think Mark sent us over a

214
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,240
really nice drought starter. And what

215
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,960
was nice about that is all the

216
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,560
communities are on the same page as in

217
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,920
hey, let's come to the table, let's

218
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480
address it. Kelsey and I are PIO, they

219
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,640
and then our city officials, our

220
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,480
administrators with each city and

221
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,760
villages outside of Waverly,

222
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,400
we all have momentum to address this.

223
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,480
Embrace them, but let's make them safe.

224
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,520
Let's talk about public safety. We've

225
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,000
went through this ordinance, and we were

226
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,800
able to make some uh we we were able to

227
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,360
come up with some ideas to help it suit

228
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,040
our communities to work in concert with

229
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,120
each other. Now, our MOU with each

230
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,560
village and each city is that the

231
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,080
sheriff's office can't enforce city

232
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,160
codes.

233
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,919
But and if we're going to do so, how

234
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:31,280
about we come up with something that's

235
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,400
consistent across the board that we can

236
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,080
all agree upon that's going to be great

237
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,360
for each community that that mirrors

238
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,520
each other

239
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,719
to streamline my efforts. Well, as as

240
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:44,600
important as it was for us to get

241
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,320
together and have this discussion and

242
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,839
send out a revised edition with some red

243
00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:51,800
lines and that we all agreed upon, it

244
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,120
didn't necessarily sit well with a

245
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,600
couple aspects with maybe another

246
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,000
council. So, they had an idea in there

247
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,920
that well, why do we need this? We don't

248
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,040
need that. Then as doing this for 26

249
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,320
years and

250
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,280
30 years we count my military, I've

251
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,640
never been a politician, but I'm

252
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,896
realizing now

253
00:09:08,896 --> 00:09:09,360
>> [laughter]

254
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,120
>> what politics are about. You come to the

255
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,720
table, we got a really good idea, and

256
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,120
then now we have concerns. But I

257
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,720
processing through this myself, I think

258
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,360
that's a good idea. They're doing

259
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,800
exactly what we're doing. Let's ask

260
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,880
questions, let's discuss as we did as a

261
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,200
group to come up with the best version

262
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,560
that we can. And I think it's just going

263
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:30,240
to take um you know, me maybe working

264
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,280
with with Mark, he's kind of a spearhead

265
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,800
with a lot of communities with these

266
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:34,280
ordinances.

267
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,751
>> calling me.

268
00:09:35,751 --> 00:09:35,839
>> [laughter]

269
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:38,080
>> Good. There you go. All right, I'm done.

270
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,520
Call Mark.

271
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,000
So, just one of one of the instances was

272
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,480
and these are simple challenges that I

273
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,960
don't think we can't overcome

274
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,840
is that one I think a city council

275
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,440
member was concerned about requirements

276
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,880
of headlights. How can we make them have

277
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,240
a headlight on and and a tail light and this is just an educational piece

278
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,880
for the city council to say, "Hey,

279
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,840
Nebraska state statute requires

280
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,560
Yeah. Bicycle headlight. This is nothing

281
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:03,920
new. We already have this in state

282
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,200
statute. You just didn't know about it.

283
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,720
And I think it's just time for us to be

284
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,840
able to come to the table, talk about

285
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,520
it, talk about why and then not

286
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,680
necessarily we're putting big old of

287
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,440
lights on these things. And just what

288
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,840
the lighting requirements are. It's and

289
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,960
it's not tough.

290
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,280
So, with that said, it put me into

291
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,520
another light where I've been invited

292
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,720
with Captain Vic to meet with Senator

293
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Holzkamm.

294
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,360
Here in the early part of September

295
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,120
because it wasn't too long a year ago

296
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,440
when I met with the city in Lincoln and

297
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,480
city attorney is like, "Yeah, this

298
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,200
really isn't a problem." Well, fast

299
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
forward to now, it's a problem.

300
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,240
State Senate's recognizing this and now

301
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,880
and I'm not familiar with Senator

302
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,960
Holzkamm.

303
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,120
I'm excited this Senator is bringing

304
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,960
people to the table. Let's talk about it

305
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,880
and let's see what we need to do. So, I

306
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,600
want to work with Mark. I want to take a

307
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,440
next step into determining if this is

308
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,360
something like in my mind

309
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,680
I don't know the legalities behind I've

310
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:02,000
learned a lot sitting through here, but

311
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,520
if we come up with a city ordinance, can

312
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,280
we come up with a a village city

313
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040
ordinances for us to adopt and through

314
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,640
the long trials of state legislature

315
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,440
which can be a long extended period of

316
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,520
time, once maybe state statute, we can

317
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760
maybe amend, repeal, do what we need to

318
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,200
do, but get something on paper sooner

319
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,360
than later. And I'm not talking waving

320
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,360
three reading rules, but let's educate,

321
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,560
let's get something on paper and then we

322
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:28,800
can move forward from there and maybe

323
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,760
make one state statute comes through or

324
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,200
are we putting the cart before the

325
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,640
horse? Do we let state legislature do

326
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,800
their thing, come up with some laws?

327
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,840
>> So, now we're going to

328
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,040
>> That's what That's what [laughter] I'm

329
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,760
kind of leaning towards is my research.

330
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,480
So, I think if we can have that

331
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,440
discussion of we've already got a great

332
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,040
we're there. I mean, with Mark's draft

333
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,640
we are there. I think it's just an

334
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,800
education piece with the council to get

335
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,360
a majority to say, "Hey, this is what we

336
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,200
want to do." So, my most important thing

337
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,560
is one, public safety. Let's get some

338
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,080
out there not to necessarily enforce but

339
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,640
educate to then gain that enforcement

340
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,840
through the education piece. And then if

341
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,400
we have to, we've got something in the

342
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,840
tool box

343
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,680
um if we need to buy it we we can buy

344
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:08,040
it, but that's that's our last resort.

345
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,440
Hold the children but also hold parents

346
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,280
accountable. Come December 25th this is going to be a new

347
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,600
story come next March. December 25th

348
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,280
aren't going to be about banana seats

349
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,960
and ding-dings. It's going to be about

350
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,920
electric scooters, electric bikes,

351
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,440
motorbikes.

352
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,160
Um these these I've done a lot of

353
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,400
research. These pieces of equipment,

354
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,120
these tools, they're less expensive than

355
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,120
a really nice pedal bike to be honest

356
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,920
with you. So, I think this is something

357
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,880
that we need to in my opinion and as

358
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,640
Mark seems like he's

359
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,520
supporting that we get something on

360
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,080
paper sooner than later that we can

361
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,720
agree upon. And we can move forward that

362
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,400
doesn't mean we have to

363
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,720
um readdress it as we we could routinely

364
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,240
do with any other ordinances as time

365
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,440
goes on.

366
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,920
That's the work I've been doing. Um what

367
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,880
we're addressing, I'd like to come back

368
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,040
to the table, discuss the changes that

369
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,440
we've been made, and then see do we just

370
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,080
need to educate or address concerns. Do

371
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,120
we have to do that formally within

372
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,600
council meetings or can we just meet

373
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,480
individual council members that have

374
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,560
these questions or concerns so we can

375
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,160
move forward with the process.

376
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,080
>> Thank you.

377
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,120
>> Mr. Mayor.

378
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,560
>> Any questions on this? It's

379
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:14,920
>> Speaks well of you for taking the lead

380
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,520
on it.

381
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,120
>> Appreciate it. So, I'll keep you

382
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,360
informed. I think it's important and I

383
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,000
like to do it there with Stephanie and the mayor here so we can kind of

384
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,560
juggle things so you're getting the best

385
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,800
information, organized information, and

386
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,560
accurate information from me for you to

387
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:30,680
process through.

388
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:31,120
>> Cool.

389
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,209
>> There was a

390
00:13:32,209 --> 00:13:32,280
>> [clears throat]

391
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,800
>> really good article in the Flatwater

392
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,040
Free Press just a week or a week or so

393
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:36,360
ago.

394
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,040
>> Yeah.

395
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,080
>> Um it's all about this issue.

396
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,760
Um one of the things they mentioned, and

397
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,034
I wasn't really aware of it, something

398
00:13:42,034 --> 00:13:43,440
[cough and clears throat] they just it's

399
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,240
one paragraph is all, something called

400
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,400
Bike Walk Nebraska.

401
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,920
It's an organization, and they have

402
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,720
funding from the Metropolitan Area

403
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,240
Planning Agency to develop state and

404
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,400
local policy recommendations.

405
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,480
So they actually have some funding

406
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,200
behind it, too. So I don't know anything

407
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,280
about Bike Walk Nebraska, but as you're

408
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,600
looking at

409
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,040
policy and stuff, this might be someone

410
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,360
else that you can

411
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,240
tag along with, or at least communicate

412
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,280
with to see about reinventing the wheel

413
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,120
kind of a thing, see what how far they

414
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:10,480
are.

415
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,760
>> Yeah, something to read, research, and

416
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:12,720
see what that's all about.

417
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,720
>> Yeah, that'd be great, but I just want

418
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,000
to appreciate you know, Mark's uh

419
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,680
willingness and motivation to actually

420
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:19,000
come up with this. It's not easy, it

421
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
takes time, and for us to have this

422
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,400
draft in front of us with just a little

423
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,080
bit of here and a little bit of there to

424
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,080
save us uh I don't know, I just a lot of

425
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,160
time. So thanks, Mark, for that, and I

426
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,400
think we're close and we're there.

427
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,240
>> Um

428
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,320
thank you for that. A couple of things

429
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,600
I'd like to add is that I think it's

430
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,000
very important that we're proactive and

431
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,560
not reactive. There's a lot to be said

432
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,120
for too many cooks in the kitchen, and

433
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,600
if we just sit back on our heels and

434
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,040
wait for

435
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,800
the state legislature or whoever else to

436
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,880
bring [clears throat] something to us,

437
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,160
something bad's going to happen before

438
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,680
that, and we've been sitting here not

439
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,839
doing anything.

440
00:14:52,839 --> 00:14:57,280
Um another thing is I had a um

441
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,200
in situ outreach reach out to me because

442
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,600
she watched our council meeting a couple

443
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,640
weeks ago, which made me very happy. Uh

444
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,160
but um and she does public health

445
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,040
and about public health education for

446
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,160
Lincoln Lancaster County. And so she

447
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,080
also provided some comments, Stephanie

448
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000
allowed me to read that initial draft,

449
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,880
and she provided some comments from the

450
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,320
public health aspect of it. So um we're

451
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,640
getting community involvement, too,

452
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,320
which I think is always wonderful.

453
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:23,960
>> Okay.

454
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,960
>> So, we're good.

455
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,360
>> Thank you very much.

456
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:25,960
>> Thank you.

457
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,760
>> The other interesting thing that's in

458
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,360
that article, I thought was really

459
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,960
interesting, is they have a graph of

460
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,800
injuries from Nebraska Medicine, and

461
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,760
it's just from Nebraska Medicine. But,

462
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,440
it's one in 2021.

463
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,320
2024 was 34, and so far this year

464
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,080
they're at 22.

465
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,080
And so, and that's halfway through the

466
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,280
year. This

467
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,600
So, these are what's reported.

468
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,960
>> And that's just

469
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,040
Those are just as

470
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,000
>> That's trash.

471
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,520
>> And those are what's reported. Lincoln

472
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,920
had a pretty serious one yester- two

473
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,600
days ago, actually. Someone was filling

474
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,920
me in on it. I'm like, "Wow, that kid's

475
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,800
lucky to be alive." So, we you know,

476
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,880
we're going to be proactive, not

477
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,800
reactive to this, and that's what we

478
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,320
public safety is all about, is

479
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,080
recognizing and then

480
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,920
making some steps to providing that.

481
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,080
>> I'm sure the death rate has also

482
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,560
increased since 2021 since it started.

483
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,880
>> And showing it just the

484
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,320
>> To me, it's amazing this number is the

485
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,680
fact that it went from

486
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,800
one just 5 years ago to

487
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,000
>> Yeah.

488
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
I agree.

489
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,160
Okie dokie. Let's go to public comments.

490
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,480
Is there anyone here from the public who

491
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,480
would like to make comment on a

492
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,550
non-agenda item?

493
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,440
All right. Let's go ahead and move on to

494
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,360
claims for payment.

495
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,160
>> I move to approve claims for payment in

496
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,070
the amount of $460,237.54.

497
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,120
» Second.

498
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,200
>> Any discussion?

499
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,960
Call for vote, please.

500
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,920
Motion carried, 3 to 0.

501
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,000
Treasurer's report and budget and

502
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,360
expense report.

503
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,120
>> Move to approve the Treasurer's report

504
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,000
and budget and expense report.

505
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
>> Second.

506
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,480
>> Any discussion?

507
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Call for vote, please.

508
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,000
Motion carried, 3 to 0.

509
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,280
All right, let's go to consideration of

510
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,880
resolution 2617.

511
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,079
>> I move to approve resolution 2617

512
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,400
approving the alarm renewal resolution.

513
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,040
>> And then you need

514
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,439
>> Okay.

515
00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:19,040
>> Make your resolution

516
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,560
>> Yeah. 3 years.

517
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,760
>> Yes.

518
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,319
I move to approve the consideration of

519
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,480
resolution 2617 approving the alarm

520
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,356
renewal resolution for three

521
00:17:27,356 --> 00:17:28,960
[clears throat] years.

522
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,950
>> Second.

523
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:32,720
» Uh

524
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,920
discussion?

525
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,600
Three years is usually what we do, isn't

526
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,000
it?

527
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,800
>> Correct. And um they did not raise any

528
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,520
um they had zero rate adjustment for

529
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,200
property and for liability coverages. Um

530
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,480
workers compensation did go up

531
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,280
5%.

532
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,200
Um they have

533
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,760
gone through um we we sit down with them

534
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,800
every year and have a thorough review of

535
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,480
all of our property and equipment and

536
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,600
everything.

537
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,440
Um and so we did not see any increase on

538
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,760
property

539
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,400
um

540
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,520
at all because we didn't have any

541
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,040
changes in property um that they needed

542
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,840
to make any

543
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,880
rate increases on or on value increases,

544
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,840
I should say. Um our workers

545
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,400
compensation did go up significantly and

546
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,080
we are working with them just to make

547
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,040
sure that it's accurate, but otherwise

548
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,760
that's the only increase that we saw was

549
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,880
in workers compensation. So.

550
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,640
>> Okay. Any discussion? Any further

551
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,582
discussion?

552
00:18:29,582 --> 00:18:30,400
>> [clears throat]

553
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,190
>> All in favor, please

554
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,440
Motion carried three to zero.

555
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,400
All right, let's jump down to 9A

556
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,360
consideration and approval of the

557
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:40,600
Applied Connected Technologies for

558
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,120
managed IT services and server upgrades.

559
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,600
>> I move to approve uh the agreement with

560
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,360
Applied Connected Technologies for

561
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:51,720
managed IT services and server upgrades.

562
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,240
>> Second.

563
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,960
>> All right, we have Casey Beitler here.

564
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,720
>> I don't know where you want me to

565
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,920
>> Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

566
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,400
>> That works. Okay.

567
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,920
Uh so my name is Casey Beitler. Um I've

568
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,280
been with Applied Connected here for

569
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,080
just about six months, but in the space

570
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,400
we're over 11 years. So,

571
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,960
um not new to the space by any means. Um

572
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,840
we were approached by you all to put

573
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,160
together a proposal for services on the

574
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,920
IT front. Um,

575
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,640
sounds like there was some frustration

576
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,440
with the current current provider, but

577
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,040
what ultimately what we were looking to

578
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,720
accomplish was to be more proactive and

579
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,040
make sure that we were aligning really

580
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,600
well with the organization and where you

581
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,480
guys are headed over the next 3 to 5

582
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,480
years. So, that's what we put together

583
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,560
today. Um, we've been in business for a

584
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,760
little over 22 years at this point. Um,

585
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,680
and uh six locations across the state of

586
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,000
Nebraska and uh yeah, a lot of a lot of

587
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,520
different um

588
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,760
organizations that we work with from the

589
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,720
city and um

590
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,560
county level. So,

591
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,960
probably talk about that a little bit,

592
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,600
but over 110 county and

593
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,560
adjacent is what I would call it

594
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,360
different clients and then over 25

595
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:03,080
cities that we provide IT for today.

596
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,800
So.

597
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,200
>> Talking talking to uh Casey as we've

598
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,400
been going through this, um

599
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,240
one of the biggest things for us was

600
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,520
being again, I guess that's a theme for

601
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,080
today is being proactive versus

602
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,320
reactive. Um,

603
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,000
and you know,

604
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,640
government is targeted very hard

605
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,760
all the time with ransomware and cyber

606
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,800
attacks.

607
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,080
Um, and we need to be prepared and we

608
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,160
need someone No one in this office is an

609
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,960
IT person. Um,

610
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,840
so we need an IT group that is actively

611
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,360
looking at these threats, assessing

612
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:39,560
them, and reaching out to us saying

613
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,080
there's this vulnerability and all these

614
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,240
kinds of things. And I think that's what

615
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,920
Applied Connective will do. Um,

616
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,710
so.

617
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,064
» I don't think I have anything

618
00:20:51,064 --> 00:20:53,230
>> [laughter]

619
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,560
» Is there anything you would like me to

620
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,240
go into further detail?

621
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,920
>> Well, let's ask let's ask these let's

622
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,600
ask these guys. They've they've looked

623
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,080
at this stuff. Is there anything you

624
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,880
would like more information on while

625
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,360
he's here to kind of chat with you

626
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:07,720
about why we're doing something, what

627
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,440
we're doing.

628
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,440
>> And I that explanation of we found the

629
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,720
last glitch that came in and had to

630
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,280
contact our previous companies kind of

631
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,280
says everything. Right.

632
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,520
You know, having somebody that's

633
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,240
actually going to look out for us and

634
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,240
check it before we find it, I think is

635
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,840
pretty big. So. Yeah. And I think you

636
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,120
said that probably the biggest thing

637
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:33,520
that's really advantageous is that

638
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,200
they'll manage um

639
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,600
the lifespan of all of our equipment. Um

640
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,000
and I think that that's um super helpful

641
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,920
for for me, too. Um

642
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,560
and making sure that we're getting

643
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,520
our our stuff rotated around like we

644
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:48,800
should. So.

645
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,280
>> And not all at once. So, that was

646
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,360
another thing that um

647
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:54,000
you know, there was a $30,000 server

648
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,240
that just came out of nowhere that we

649
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,240
had to replace. So, we've got a budget

650
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,440
and that was

651
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,080
>> And that wasn't in it.

652
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,680
>> That wasn't in it.

653
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,320
So, no one had said anything about it.

654
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,480
So, making sure that they're being

655
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,360
proactive on our behalf.

656
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,040
Um and making sure we're budgeting these

657
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,680
kinds of expensive

658
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,960
uh or expenses. Um

659
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,560
another thing we talked about was moving

660
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,000
our physical server that's on premises

661
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,280
on purpose

662
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,600
to a cloud server to be able to manage everything that we instead of

663
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,880
actually buying that physical hardware.

664
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,720
So, that's something we'll be working

665
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,960
with them in the future to do.

666
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,360
Um but we don't have to do it yet

667
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,640
because Casey's kind of helped us figure

668
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:32,520
some stuff out.

669
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,390
>> Yeah.

670
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,520
» How does this integrate into the new

671
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,280
fire station and that part of it?

672
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,440
>> Great question.

673
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,920
>> Yeah. Uh one of the things I can talk

674
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,920
through there is we're a managed service

675
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,600
provider. Um one of the things that

676
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,040
makes us unique is we don't just manage

677
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,360
IT. So, we also have a division that

678
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:52,960
does phones, so enterprise phone

679
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,920
systems. We also have a division that

680
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,880
does what we call and what we consider

681
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,200
AVS. That AVS side is what we call

682
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,080
anything audio video services. So,

683
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,320
that's cabling, that's cameras, that's

684
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,280
access control, overhead paging,

685
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,080
uh yeah, anything that kind of falls

686
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,720
under that that category. So, one of the

687
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,920
things that we align extremely well on that front is being able to provide

688
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,280
some of those additional services rather

689
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,040
than having to kind of piece together

690
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,560
five different vendors for it all. Um we

691
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,400
can we can kind of step in and and put

692
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280
some proposals together and and have

693
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,640
some plans there for that future future

694
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:29,280
state.

695
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,320
>> Thank you for saying that cuz that was

696
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,800
another thing is that we have several

697
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,600
different vendors for different things

698
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,560
that we're doing around the city, and we

699
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,240
are going to be able to consolidate all

700
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,120
of that and and let them manage all that

701
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:44,160
from cameras to the security with the

702
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,240
new buildings that we're we're working

703
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,920
on and all that kind of stuff.

704
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,160
So, piecemealing everything together.

705
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,080
>> Yeah.

706
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,920
>> That's very awesome.

707
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,800
Anything else?

708
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,760
>> Sounds good.

709
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,830
>> All right, let's go ahead and approve this.

710
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,360
Motion carried, three to zero vote.

711
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:03,360
Thank you, Casey.

712
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:04,800
>> Thank you. I appreciate it.

713
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,256
>> Stephanie, we'll be in touch.

714
00:24:06,256 --> 00:24:06,360
>> [laughter]

715
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:08,876
>> Thanks for being here.

716
00:24:08,876 --> 00:24:09,800
>> [clears throat]

717
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,160
>> All right, let's go ahead 9B

718
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,760
consideration of scope change number two

719
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,840
from JEO Consulting Group for new well

720
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,120
siting project.

721
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:18,400
>> I move to approve a scope change number

722
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,120
two from JEO Consulting Group for the

723
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:22,840
new well siting project.

724
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,360
>> Second.

725
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:27,680
>> Okay, so this is a change in

726
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,280
scope of what JEO will be doing on um

727
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,200
our test well

728
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,000
project that we've been um

729
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,440
undertaking.

730
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,960
Um what this does is it changes um a

731
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,640
little bit more project management, a

732
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,280
thousand dollars, um the test well

733
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,040
program

734
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,080
for ten thousand dollars. This is JEO's

735
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,160
review of all of the data that comes in

736
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,520
from all of the test wells.

737
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,040
Um

738
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,000
and then the hydro the test hole and

739
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,920
test well drilling support. So, there's

740
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,600
more engineering work that goes along

741
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,640
with the test wells.

742
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,880
Hydrogeologic report. So, um

743
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,480
in order for us to add

744
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,760
a well or two wells or zero wells to our

745
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,600
existing well field south of town,

746
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,760
um the NRD has

747
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,880
mandated that we do a hydrogeologic

748
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,680
report to determine whether there a new

749
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,920
well will impact the drawdown on any of

750
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,680
the other wells, the existing wells that

751
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,880
are there.

752
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,400
Um

753
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,480
so,

754
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,120
this could tell us that we could have

755
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,120
zero additional wells. It could tell us

756
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:42,760
that we could have one additional well.

757
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,000
It could tell us that we could have two

758
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,400
additional wells on that site. But, this

759
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,080
will be a very thorough study of the

760
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,920
water supply in the area and how it's

761
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,040
impacted by drilling additional an

762
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,400
additional well. Um they will run these

763
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,200
wells for 24 hours um and see what the

764
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,480
drawdown how it impacts other wells

765
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,040
adjacent to it.

766
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,760
Um so,

767
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,000
that's the $10,230.

768
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,960
And then, the water treatment evaluation

769
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,280
is a high-level study of what it would

770
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,520
cost for us to build a water treatment

771
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,720
facility if we were to utilize some of

772
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,440
what [clears throat]

773
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,600
utilize the area near the city that's in

774
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,640
the alluvial aquifer

775
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,600
where we have high iron and manganese.

776
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,960
And in order to use that water, we would

777
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,040
have to have a water treatment facility.

778
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,840
And so, this is what

779
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,280
a high-level evaluation

780
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,200
tells what a water treatment facility

781
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,960
would cost and what it would take to do

782
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,720
that. So,

783
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,720
all of that's going to be $29,730

784
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,480
in addition to what we were already

785
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,350
paying JEO. [clears throat]

786
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:57,560
We do have Lancaster County ARPA funds

787
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,400
that we were um

788
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,000
given

789
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,800
to use for um

790
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,720
well sighting project.

791
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,720
Um

792
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,160
We were awarded 478,516

793
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,960
thousand dollars from Lancaster County's

794
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,040
ARPA.

795
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,240
To date, we have spent 206,665

796
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,200
dollars.

797
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,240
With the change order this change order

798
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,440
and the following agenda item change

799
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,520
order, that will come to 487,000

800
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,920
or 847 dollars.

801
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,920
That means we will have exceeded the

802
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,680
ARPA funds by 9,330 dollars. We would

803
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,240
have to use 9,330 dollars cash to to do

804
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,550
all of this work. So.

805
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,200
Um

806
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,960
so anyway, that's

807
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,120
this is the JEO agreement to do the

808
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:50,360
additional [clears throat] engineering

809
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,800
side of the work. The next agenda item

810
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,600
is the actual test wells

811
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,480
um

812
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,680
being dug by Sargent.

813
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,990
So.

814
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,840
» Well, I think the I mean, the 10,230,

815
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,160
there's nothing we can do about that.

816
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,600
The NRD is making us do that.

817
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,280
I think the water treatment evaluation

818
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,880
is something that goes right along with

819
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,520
this to see

820
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,160
instead of taking building a well 10

821
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,600
miles outside of town and just drop one

822
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,680
right up here

823
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,200
and treat that water.

824
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,760
I just have a hard time believing that doesn't outweigh the cost of

825
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,520
taking water all the way down to

826
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,280
somewhere else.

827
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,280
>> Yeah.

828
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,520
But and that's what we'll find out.

829
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,360
>> Right. And that's being

830
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:35,840
>> And maybe

831
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,774
we're wrong.

832
00:28:36,774 --> 00:28:37,680
>> [laughter]

833
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,160
>> They'll tell us. Yeah, we don't know.

834
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,240
>> Yeah, I think it's well worth the money

835
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,680
even if it's eliminating possibilities.

836
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,560
So even if we don't find that

837
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,440
a source, it's eliminating spots. I

838
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,960
think that that's well worth money. And

839
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,760
I think it's a perfect use of what our

840
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:51,880
water funds are

841
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:52,560
>> used for, too.

842
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,400
>> Yeah, at one time.

843
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:53,960
>> Yeah.

844
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,480
>> solutions. And this is obviously one of

845
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,640
the biggest

846
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,800
issues that we have here in Wylie. So,

847
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,430
and it's a good use of funds.

848
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,880
» With the the projects and the

849
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,360
engineering and everything that we have

850
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,320
out right now,

851
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,600
where are we kind of at if this doesn't

852
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,400
play out and and

853
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,800
anything comes of it, are we kind of

854
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,560
back to searching for new locations? Is

855
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,240
that where we're at or

856
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,720
>> So, the the next agenda item is doing

857
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,560
Excuse [clears throat] me, additional

858
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,840
test wells. Um and those are along 162nd

859
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,680
Street south of town. The other one is

860
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,800
going to be north of town at 141st

861
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,400
and Branch Oak area.

862
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,160
And so,

863
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,280
>> So, we're getting out there quite a

864
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,720
>> So, we are getting out, you know, just

865
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,240
trying to almost a process of

866
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,720
elimination.

867
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,400
You know, to say that we we have

868
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,920
done we have looked, you know, and these

869
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,960
are the this is what we have. These are

870
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,320
our opportunities that we

871
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,760
have.

872
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,600
Um

873
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,320
And again, this is for long-term

874
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,240
um you know, preservation of of water

875
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,440
sources for our city. So, um we're able

876
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,600
to meet demand every day, all day, every

877
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,720
day.

878
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,480
Um

879
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,040
you know, currently

880
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,040
we we are not experiencing any issues.

881
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,040
This is a long-term solution for the

882
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,190
preservation of our community.

883
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,360
» Hopefully we can get to the point where

884
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,200
we have the information where we can

885
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,280
make a decision whether to

886
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,640
do a new well or pivot to a

887
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,920
water treatment plant.

888
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,320
>> Yeah.

889
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,920
Hopefully after this.

890
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,560
>> I think at the next

891
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,680
the set of test wells on that next

892
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,600
agenda item, That's where it's

893
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,520
that area that it's been reasonable, you

894
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,320
know. I mean, beyond those areas, we're

895
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,080
getting to where it's been lift, you

896
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:52,840
know.

897
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,480
And and definitely, I think treatment

898
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,470
would be a smart option at that point.

899
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,280
» Anything else, Kelly?

900
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,440
All right, go ahead and call for a vote,

901
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,470
please.

902
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,720
Motion carried 3 to 0. All right,

903
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,400
consideration of change order number two

904
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,510
from Sargeant Drilling.

905
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,720
» I move to approve uh the change order

906
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,240
number two from Sargeant Drilling for

907
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,120
test well setting project.

908
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,520
>> Second.

909
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,200
>> Okay, so some of these are the test

910
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,880
wells that will be drilled down on 162nd

911
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,200
Street between more or less between Albo

912
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,760
and Fletcher, and then the one test well

913
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,280
that's up north, and then the other

914
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,160
wells that are going to be um drilled

915
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,600
are on the existing well field. Um and

916
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,280
that's to

917
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,760
for that study, that hydrogeologic study

918
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,830
that has to be done.

919
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,310
So.

920
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,840
And there's where it talks about that

921
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,480
it's they're done on four hour step

922
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,120
rates, um and then they also do a

923
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,680
24-hour constant rate

924
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,560
on those test pumps

925
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,350
in the existing well field.

926
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,120
» Any discussion?

927
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,200
>> So, what is the net

928
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,160
change?

929
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:33,470
>> So, this is the 251,452.

930
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,040
» Okay.

931
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,320
All right, go ahead and call for a vote,

932
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,550
please.

933
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,747
» Motion carried, 3 to 0.

934
00:32:41,747 --> 00:32:46,110
>> [laughter]

935
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,680
» Um all right, let's go to committee

936
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,960
reports.

937
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,840
Does anybody have anything for Dave,

938
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:57,457
parks director? Do you have something?

939
00:32:57,467 --> 00:33:10,110
» [laughter]

940
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,080
» Um so uh the tennis courts were painted

941
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,160
um and um

942
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,480
we I don't know already.

943
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,720
>> What? They were already tennis courts.

944
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:20,560
>> The tennis courts.

945
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,320
>> Just tennis.

946
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,280
>> Not pickleball.

947
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,280
>> Not with pickleball.

948
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,040
>> Oh, okay. I was like, "Wow, that was

949
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,200
fast."

950
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Okay. Tennis courts and

951
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,720
>> Yeah, tennis courts have been painted.

952
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,320
We have a an estimate for to add

953
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,000
pickleball lines to the tennis courts.

954
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,400
Um that's roughly $400 a court.

955
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:41,480
Um

956
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,440
so if we

957
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,520
want to do that, um I'm happy to

958
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,120
move forward with that. Um Clayton has

959
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,680
checked with the

960
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,000
school and the athletic director has

961
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,120
said that he does not see a problem with

962
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,360
adding those lines to the courts.

963
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,160
Um he said that there are many other

964
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,400
courts that they play on that have

965
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,400
pickleball lines on them already.

966
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,240
>> I reached out to the

967
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,280
head tennis coach to both boys and girls

968
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,040
team and he works also at Woods.

969
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:11,560
>> Oh, yeah.

970
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,760
>> And even Woods has extra lines, so he

971
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,840
did not He was First off, he was

972
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,919
extraordinarily appreciative of the work

973
00:34:17,919 --> 00:34:18,919
that we did on those courts.

974
00:34:18,919 --> 00:34:19,399
>> Okay.

975
00:34:19,399 --> 00:34:20,520
>> He said that

976
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,120
we cannot measure what that would mean

977
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,040
to the JV squads. They're playing on

978
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,679
courts that that far away.

979
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:29,679
Um so he was super super happy about

980
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:31,520
that. And so he would Yeah, and then he

981
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:32,679
went on to say that there's actually

982
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:34,440
there's he thought it'd be fine to have

983
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,679
extra lines on that.

984
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:39,639
>> Well, if we have any

985
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,159
room in the parks budget yet before this

986
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:43,639
end of the fiscal year, I'll probably

987
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:45,080
just go ahead and have them move forward

988
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,200
on that then. So, yeah.

989
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,120
Um

990
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,639
>> they're going to have four courts from

991
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:51,320
what I understand.

992
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,320
>> That was the way I understood it, yes.

993
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,600
Yeah.

994
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,840
Um legion baseball tournaments have have

995
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,920
finished out for the season. Um Sharp

996
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,000
Park, we had a tree fall down and they

997
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,160
repaired the fence um from that.

998
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,280
Um

999
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,200
flag football registration finished with

1000
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,720
204 participants. They're going to have

1001
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:13,320
three fields this year. That's the

1002
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,840
highest number of participants they've

1003
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,680
had since they started flag football.

1004
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,400
Um this last Saturday they had um the

1005
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,520
officials clinic and they had um

1006
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,040
I think their kickoff event, yeah, their

1007
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,200
kickoff event down at Baxter Turf.

1008
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,840
Um

1009
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,000
the fall volleyball registration's going

1010
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,440
to begin. Um pool swimming lessons

1011
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,560
finished this last week.

1012
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,000
And um we have a couple more weekends

1013
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,720
with the pool open and then that will on

1014
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:44,840
the 23rd, I believe it is, is the doggie

1015
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,120
dip day at the dog park.

1016
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,120
>> 25th of August.

1017
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,110
>> Okay. Doggie dip. So.

1018
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,880
That is

1019
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,520
what we have for now.

1020
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,920
I will note that if the our first

1021
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,320
inaugural season of pickleball

1022
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,440
uh is ending or ended,

1023
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,799
and I won't speak about my team.

1024
00:36:04,799 --> 00:36:06,120
>> [laughter]

1025
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,280
>> But what I will say is that somebody

1026
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:13,150
else on this council won it.

1027
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,080
We're in the championship game.

1028
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:15,760
>> Jake's team.

1029
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,240
>> There's three more games that have to be

1030
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:19,840
played to get to us and then the loser's

1031
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,960
bracket will have to beat us twice.

1032
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,160
>> Yeah.

1033
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,320
so.

1034
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,000
>> I'm just saying.

1035
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:26,880
>> But we have a winner.

1036
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,360
>> We have We have the top seed and we have

1037
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,345
the bottom.

1038
00:36:30,345 --> 00:36:32,910
>> [laughter]

1039
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,760
» So I'm going to say

1040
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,200
we didn't get to play you. You might

1041
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,320
have beat us. Yeah, you might have. You

1042
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,790
might have.

1043
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:42,680
It's going to [laughter] be shorter that

1044
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:43,600
way.

1045
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,600
When we get those other four courts, you

1046
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,680
better believe Everybody's gotten so

1047
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,560
much better. It's like

1048
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,320
Clayton's doing a nice job and that flex

1049
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,080
scheduling's been great and it's it's

1050
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,080
gone really well. The four court courts

1051
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,160
will be great cuz I bet we'll have

1052
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,320
24 teams instead of 12 next summer.

1053
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,200
Yeah, it's great. It's good to hear.

1054
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,320
Yeah. All right, next up.

1055
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,400
Can we go and move to public works?

1056
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,000
David?

1057
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,520
The team cleaned out trees removed silt

1058
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,040
from the one north 154th and Highway 6

1059
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,240
drainage area. They also cleaned up the

1060
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:19,320
Mansfield ditch flow liner, burned tree

1061
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,400
debris at the landfill site,

1062
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,520
sorted through multiple ash piles at the

1063
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,160
landfill for four days. Did locates for

1064
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,200
Sprint fiber in Evendale.

1065
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,800
They're keeping up on the mowing and

1066
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,470
trimming.

1067
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,000
Replaced two of the four wasting valves

1068
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,680
at the wastewater plant and the transfer

1069
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,960
switch. The new well number nine has

1070
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,200
arrived with the generator expected to

1071
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,280
arrive later this month. We'll get that

1072
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,040
back online soon.

1073
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,520
Wonderful, thank you.

1074
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,566
Public health, Erin.

>> [clears throat]

1076
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,720
>> In the past two weeks there's been two

1077
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:56,560
grass fires, two car fires.

1078
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,080
Still the bulk of it is 12

1079
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,200
medical calls.

1080
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,360
Two were at law enforcement's request.

1081
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,200
There was one alarm

1082
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,400
and one special duty which was the

1083
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,510
funeral procession. So

1084
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,550
there was

1085
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,760
a request to line a road portion of the

1086
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,880
route for the Creek police chief Gary

1087
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,760
Yancey's funeral procession. So that was

1088
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:30,211
the special duty was only took out 61.

1089
00:38:30,211 --> 00:38:32,310
>> [clears throat]

1090
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,520
» Nice that you're able to participate in

1091
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,680
that.

1092
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:36,680
Uh

1093
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,400
over the last couple of months, there's

1094
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,320
been seven new members join. There's

1095
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,200
another new member that's interested.

1096
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,720
So, what that has put pressure on is

1097
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:48,240
gear equipment.

1098
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,800
So, we're looking at inventory, there's

1099
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,400
not really much left. So, we're looking

1100
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,880
at outfitting the new um

1101
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,320
the new members

1102
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,520
for their equipment so that

1103
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,320
is a good problem to have, but yet

1104
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,120
challenge also.

1105
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,800
And we're also exploring potential

1106
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,400
hosting an AMT class for the new members

1107
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,920
especially since we have so many that

1108
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,080
have come in recently.

1109
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,000
Um

1110
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,880
Waverly 30 was repaired and back in

1111
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,880
service. Uh

1112
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,960
it also got back its TNT spreaders that

1113
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,640
were repaired and put back into uh that

1114
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,200
rig.

1115
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,320
Waverly 21 was repaired and back in

1116
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,600
service. Uh may need some additional

1117
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,400
service over the winter when grass fire

1118
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,440
season is over.

1119
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,120
Um fire station planning and

1120
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,880
preparations continue ongoing with the

1121
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,320
hope that uh they will go out to bid in

1122
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,600
early September.

1123
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,040
And then the radio committee um

1124
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,440
has met again and we are looking at

1125
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,800
purchasing two new handheld portable

1126
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,960
radios. So, some

1127
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,080
portion of some money from the

1128
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:52,800
department money.

1129
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,160
>> Our from money from the county.

1130
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,440
>> We'll have a little bit of our own money

1131
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,282
too.

1132
00:39:59,292 --> 00:39:59,560
» [clears throat]

1133
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:00,960
>> I do want to thank you and your

1134
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,480
administration for doing such a great

1135
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,640
job

1136
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,960
um on recruiting. Like the amount of new

1137
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,320
recruits you're bringing in is

1138
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,000
incredible. And so, thank you guys so

1139
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,520
much for that progress.

1140
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,040
>> I don't really know what we're doing

1141
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,680
different or just what's changed, but we

1142
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,360
actually had two more members show up

1143
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,080
last night that are interested, which is

1144
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,200
great.

1145
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,880
Uh one lives in town here and the other

1146
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,480
one lives just outside the fire

1147
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,280
district, so we'll see how that pans

1148
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,320
out.

1149
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,560
And then uh

1150
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,720
Yeah, it's a great problem to have.

1151
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:31,800
It's

1152
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,640
you know, amazing when you have a very

1153
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,560
serious call and like Saturday night we

1154
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,920
had a pretty uh

1155
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,120
stressful call and we had 11 members go

1156
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,560
on the call. So, it's lots of fun. Yeah,

1157
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,108
actually had to run both squads.

1158
00:40:47,108 --> 00:40:47,720
>> [laughter]

1159
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:50,480
>> See, we got that on our own this time.

1160
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,720
>> It's working out.

1161
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:52,880
>> All right, so thank you.

1162
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,160
>> You're welcome.

1163
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,320
>> Um Brooke.

1164
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,880
>> Yeah, it's called economic development.

1165
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,400
Uh we really economic development corp

1166
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,640
met yesterday.

1167
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,240
Um they are in the process of finalizing

1168
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:07,240
interviews and getting that figured out

1169
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:09,840
for the director um cuz right now again

1170
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,800
we have an interim. Um so, Amanda's

1171
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,360
finalizing that.

1172
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,040
Um

1173
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,280
hope to have that in

1174
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,400
place by the last week of August if

1175
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,720
figured out those interviews and that

1176
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:23,440
sort of stuff. Uh next meeting for

1177
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,800
uh we have is September 9th.

1178
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,120
Um

1179
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,440
let's see. CRA, their next meeting's

1180
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,880
August 17th at 5:00 and the planning

1181
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,040
commission meets on the 24th

1182
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,720
at 5:30.

1183
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:39,880
>> Awesome. Thank you.

1184
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,080
>> Lots of good things going on.

1185
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,320
>> I was just going to say lots of stuff

1186
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,600
going on and happening.

1187
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,240
>> All right. And then stuff.

1188
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:46,840
Um

1189
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,840
so, uh one thing to add on the fire

1190
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,880
department, um we got our new contract

1191
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,680
rate for LFR um and so, um last year

1192
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,440
when we approved the LFR contract it

1193
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,520
automatically renews every year.

1194
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,720
And so, we just have to pay a 5% rate

1195
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:04,080
increase. Um

1196
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,120
so, we had six calls in the time period

1197
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,160
that they'll be billing us for.

1198
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,480
Um and with that 5% rate increase it's

1199
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,240
going to come to the $4,240.

1200
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:15,280
So,

1201
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,400
um

1202
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,200
we're very grateful that our LFR

1203
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,000
expenses are that because it's only

1204
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,800
because Southeast is such a great

1205
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,200
partner to us. So, Southeast Fire and

1206
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,560
Rescue um really helps us out in a lot

1207
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,720
of situations and provides that ALS

1208
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:31,254
service to us.

1209
00:42:31,254 --> 00:42:31,920
>> [clears throat]

1210
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,520
>> So.

1211
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,280
If it weren't for Southeast, we would

1212
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:36,600
be paying significantly more.

1213
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:37,720
>> Mhm.

1214
00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:38,920
>> So.

1215
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,400
Um and the other thing that I wanted to

1216
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,800
add, um the farm ground that the city

1217
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,974
owns, um will be going um we will be

1218
00:42:46,974 --> 00:42:47,200
>> [clears throat]

1219
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,920
>> releasing that for bid. Um that will be

1220
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,680
sealed bids. Um we'll have a bid opening

1221
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,320
on September 4th with council approval

1222
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,760
on um September 8th.

1223
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,520
Packets are going to be available next

1224
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,440
week here in the office with that

1225
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,200
information and information also be

1226
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,520
found on the website. So.

1227
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,880
Great. Great.

1228
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:07,720
That's what I have.

1229
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:09,560
>> And that is zoned right now

1230
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:10,040
agricultural.

1231
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,000
>> How currently is that?

1232
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,310
>> It's all zoned ag.

1233
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,480
Yes. So, there's the

1234
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:18,920
there's land up on the north side of

1235
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,080
town up

1236
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,480
Waverly Road and 148th in that general

1237
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,040
vicinity. And then the other um piece of

1238
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,960
land is um where our well field is. And

1239
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,120
where the well field is has to be in

1240
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,440
alfalfa only. So, um the stuff on the

1241
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:39,710
north side of town can be row crops.

1242
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:41,600
» All right. Uh and then the last thing I

1243
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,240
will say is just a reminder to everyone

1244
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:45,280
that school is starting this week and so

1245
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,280
there will be lots of littles

1246
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,510
walking, biking, scooting,

1247
00:43:50,510 --> 00:43:52,440
>> [laughter]

1248
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,160
>> doing whatever. So, please, please, pay attention. Talk to your

1249
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,920
teenage drivers about paying attention

1250
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,000
and then you yourself pay attention so

1251
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,560
we don't have any issues this week or

1252
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:04,840
>> And now that the lights are going to be

1253
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,440
blinking on Amberly and 148th.

1254
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,640
>> Yes.

1255
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:10,040

Motion carried 3-0. We adjourned at
