Okay. Moving on to ordinance. 72 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:38,560 » Uh good evening. So, as we talked about, we had an email and uh the question was 73 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:43,199 raised uh regarding our personnel and rates talking about the sewer rate 74 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:52,080 ordinance that is on our agenda for legislation this evening. So 75 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:57,360 we are going with studies from ARCAP, a professional engineering firm that has 76 00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:04,160 compared us to similar communities to our size, population, all that kind of 77 00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:10,479 stuff. And they recommended the 4% increase, which 78 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:17,120 is actually less from previous years. previous years, we're looking at 10% 79 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:25,840 increases for the sewer rates. Uh grand total in that is it's an 80 cent raise 80 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:31,280 if you live within the city, $120 if you live outside of the limits. I said city 81 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,880 and village. Uh but that's a$120 if you live outside the village corporation 82 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,520 limits. >> That's for minimum use. 83 00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:42,759 » Yeah, that's minimum use. hadn't gotten there yet. 84 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,680 Uh, regarding our personnel, we currently 85 00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:55,919 have two licensed sewer employees and one on the street department. Uh, that's 86 00:06:53,360 --> 00:07:01,759 just about half of what we had two, three years ago as far as our village 87 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:07,120 employees. Am I correct on that one? Well, it's a little 88 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:13,039 we used to have four street department sewer and a water. So, 89 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:18,800 » so roughly we have half of that from years past. However, 90 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:22,720 you know, when we talk about our sewer treatment employees, 91 00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:25,840 they do split time with the street department now. Uh they don't 92 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,560 » they always have >> they always have. It's always been 93 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,080 » it's always been kind of a dull role. Even though they're both licensed, it's 94 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,160 nice having them both licensed so one can show up and the other one can 95 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:43,520 actually have a vacation or a day off or vice versa. But they have been splitting 96 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:49,520 time with the street department and have been for well since I've been on council 97 00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:53,680 as well. Uh that's pretty much did I miss anything 98 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:59,759 that we talked about with the sewer ordinance rate? I did miss speak. I 99 00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:05,280 apologize to anyone who was confused with the 100 00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:12,160 the 15 minute prior to this meeting meeting for the yearly tax budget. 101 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,680 I kind of had that mixed up with the >> thinking that it was going to be a sewer 102 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,680 meeting >> the sewer meeting. So, I apologize for 103 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:23,199 that. That was my error. Uh we did discuss the pay and benefits ordinance. 104 00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:28,479 Uh we're looking at a dollar raise across the board for all of our 105 00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:33,360 employees, which is 14 >> roughly 14 106 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:38,640 » roughly. Uh this includes uh the police department as well. Uh, 107 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:45,040 one of the main reasons we're looking at the solid rais is 108 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:50,959 if we continue to carry over 100% of our budget each year that Amy has worked so 109 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:55,920 diligently at making sure that we are minding our P's and Q's and carrying 110 00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:00,560 over what we need. We could face the possibility of the county looking at the 111 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:06,080 property taxes that we pay and say, "Well, the village isn't doesn't need as 112 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:10,240 much as they have in the past." So, if we can do something to kind of benefit 113 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:16,160 and retain and keep our employees are doing the best they can for us by giving 114 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:20,480 them a little bit more in their pocket, that dollar raise, then I think that's 115 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:24,880 kind of a fair trade-off to where we won't be gigged as hard if the county so 116 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,880 chooses. Uh 117 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:37,399 yeah, that's what I have on that one. Okay. 118 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,399 » Anything else? Did I miss anything? 119 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,959 » All right, moving on to park. 120 00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:52,120 » So, we met tonight. We got the headquarters being reordered. over 121 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,120 threatening 122 00:09:52,640 --> 00:10:00,640 east side for now that should be done this weekend correct 123 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:06,040 » by we are WL and then we also discuss nature works grand 124 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:16,640 allocation of 13,000 funds for the porch room to the stage to provide sun 125 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:21,279 protection uh also help sound equipment we want It is 1,500,600 126 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:26,000 and then we also suggest the land and water grant to apply for the rest of the 127 00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:33,760 other items needed for the water birds part of the hiking dugout paths and 128 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:38,279 session. So for nature work city 1500 or 15,000 129 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:38,279 15,000. 130 00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:46,640 » Okay. Moving on to planning commission local. 131 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,240 » We did have a little discussion tonight. Not the actual planning commission 132 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:55,360 group, but we've been discussing some of the alley issues that we have. the 133 00:10:53,519 --> 00:11:00,800 there's been some requests for vacating alleys and trying to find a good 134 00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:06,720 compromise for all parties involved with that. Uh but it's a lot of whatifs. So, 135 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:11,120 it's kind of up to the property owner at this point, I believe. So, that's it for 136 00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:15,920 tonight. >> Okay. Planning Commission County. 137 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:22,640 » Oh, not >> public works. 138 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:27,757 » Uh we just met earlier as usual. Uh, >> sorry I skipped public safety. 139 00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:29,777 » Skipping back to public safety. Sorry. [laughter] 140 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,959 » Uh, we discussed emergency operations plan. 141 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:45,200 So recommendation 1120 142 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:51,519 25 to grade one. If scheduling work meetings, notify eborn to notify the 143 00:11:48,079 --> 00:11:57,040 public of the meeting date and time. And we talked about cyber security 144 00:11:53,519 --> 00:12:06,639 program documents sent uh for review and will be a continual work in progress. 145 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:11,920 Uh ebikes, e scooter, safety.

We wheelies and the streets, mosquito spray the week of 151 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,639 the 20th before homecoming. Oh, hang 152 00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:02,959 » back to me. County Brown 41 page. 153 00:13:01,423 --> 00:13:09,440 [laughter] >> Uh, so we have 154 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:17,120 we are looking to submit for paving projects on Fifth, 6th, Indian Circle, 155 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:22,399 West 7th, and Rear 7th. Uh we have the match funds currently in the 203 fund 156 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:29,839 which is the income tax fund that is designated for that. Uh we'd be working 157 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:33,360 through the county to get these done. Um >> it'll be in 2017. 158 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,600 » Yeah, that paving would didn't write that down. That paving would actually be 159 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:41,200 happening in 2027, which is actually a good thing because 160 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:47,200 if timing is right, we can have some of our storm basins placed on those roads 161 00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:52,399 and be getting the safe route to school sidewalks in the same areas as planned. 162 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:57,040 So everything would be kind of like fresh and new. 163 00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:01,920 So the big topic tonight with public's works is uh petition ditch. As we've 164 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,800 discussed in the past, we've had a lot of issues mainly stemming from the Kirk 165 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,560 Green issues that's have collapsed since the 166 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:17,120 40s. Uh this is what's leading to a lot of 167 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:22,160 our more recent flooding is the water has nowhere to go, so it's just finding 168 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:27,600 its way into our village. The main fix to this would be to do a 169 00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:32,560 petition ditch. Uh there's a lot of information out 170 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:37,279 there with those, but with this, 171 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:42,959 everybody that's affected by the ditch would be signing a petition. And 172 00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:51,360 currently, it's affecting 985 households along the ditch route and some of the 173 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:58,000 shootoffs of the main ditch.

So those will be disposed of and then the other items 283 00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:56,799 we'll try to sell on gov deals. So, if we could have a roll call vote for those 284 00:23:53,760 --> 00:24:02,559 items, that would be good to approve me to to declare them surplus 285 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:12,559 and approve selling or disposing. >> Make a motion to uh declare the police 286 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:13,679 items as surplus or disposal.

Thank you. Then I don't have a picture 292 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:30,240 of this one regrettably, but we have our old street sweeper 293 00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:38,000 uh that we sold and thought we could try it out 294 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:43,880 again and tried to repair it. Uh we exhausted the repair efforts on that and 295 00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:43,880 it's still not um 296 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:50,400 in functioning. It won't function. So, we're going to have to get rid of it 297 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:58,159 again. I could try to sell it for parts on gov deals. I'd like that declared 298 00:24:52,960 --> 00:25:04,480 surplus. We're We are I have rented a uh attachment that fits on this uh skid 299 00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:10,159 steer that will sweep and pick up debris from the streets and it's working out 300 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:16,799 very well for them. It's 1,400 or something a month to rent that. And um 301 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:20,960 finally for the first time in a long time we're 302 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:26,799 getting things cleaned up and don't have to rely on somebody else to come up and 303 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:30,880 do it. So, and the sewer and street guys have been working on that for the last 304 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:37,679 couple weeks and they're very happy with the the results it's getting them. So, I 305 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:42,159 think we can go this route for the next few years. It's pretty inexpensive 306 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:46,480 than buying a whole new piece of equipment. So, or a new used piece of 307 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:52,480 equipment.

The crew just left town and 326 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:10,480 didn't take those up because there were still things drying when they did leave 327 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,919 town. So, they can just be moved out of your way 328 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:19,840 for now for anybody that would have those. 329 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:24,640 And the um when they're done pouring the concrete in that last section is when 330 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:29,520 they will come back and back fill along the edges of this new sidewalk. And then 331 00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:34,480 they will seed it and put straw down to regrow the grass. So the back fill will 332 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:39,919 be a little bit yet, but total project they have until actually the end of 333 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:47,600 July.
