And whereas the municipality of 167 00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:40,160 West Milton residents would greatly benefit from this vitalization program 168 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:43,760 that will help create positive gener generational impact. 169 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,959 » And and whereas the municipality of West Milton 170 00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:51,800 » will complete the online nomination form for census tract 3910934500 171 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:59,839 West Milton Rural and request formal support for this nomination from elected 172 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:03,440 leaders throughout Ohio.

So, um, as you'll see within the packet, 179 00:16:28,079 --> 00:16:34,959 I I do, uh, have a staff report. Um, but I think it's important for the 180 00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:39,199 opportunity zone 2.0 program, um, for people to understand in the public, uh, 181 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:44,240 there are only a number a certain number of census tracks in the state of Ohio, 182 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:49,279 uh, that qualify. Uh, not only do they qualify, uh, but the governor is going 183 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:54,959 to select a certain number of them. Um, not all of them. We, as Ohio, have more 184 00:16:51,759 --> 00:17:00,480 that qualify than will be selected. Um the opportunity zone 2.0 program is an 185 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:05,439 expansion of the opportunity zone 1.0 program. Not a super creative name, but 186 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:09,919 um within the 2025 one big beautiful bill, uh the federal government uh made 187 00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:16,000 this program permanent throughout the country. Uh so as part of that, uh this 188 00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:21,439 is just a financial opportunity uh for a census district within our community. Uh 189 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:26,400 the census district for our community is pretty much everything west of the 190 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:29,760 river. Um, so downtown, uh, it's a pretty large census track that goes to 191 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:34,480 the west side of that river. So, it would allow, uh, an investor to make an 192 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:38,640 investment into West Milton and have tax benefits through the federal government. 193 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:43,760 Um, again, we are not, uh, guaranteed to get that, uh, but it is, uh, a process 194 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:47,919 and a, um, a hope that we would get that designation, giving us a benefit to be 195 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,400 able to utilize that uh, for anyone that would want to make an investment in our 196 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:56,160 community. And sir, I think it would be very beneficial with retail strategies 197 00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:01,600 that that would what we're trying to do with revitalizing downtown that that 198 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:04,160 would help our u case in putting in for this. Is that 199 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:09,360 » absolutely and in the opportunity zone 1.0 program, a lot of developers found 200 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:13,919 those census tracks and made developments in those census tracks 201 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:17,200 explicitly. So again, it gives us somewhat of a marketing tool where we 202 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,280 have an opportunity for someone that maybe a different community doesn't. So 203 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,559 even those that we're not outright reaching out to, they may reach out to 204 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:27,679 us and we may have a different opportunity because of that designation. 205 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,679 » Nice. >> So when we talk about like investors and 206 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:35,679 developers, is that residential and commercial and industrial? 207 00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:40,559 » Yes, there's no uh I don't believe there's any limitations on the type of 208 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:46,480 development. Um really the to not get too uh detailed but um the opportunity 209 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:50,799 zone generally it's about capital gains and how you can defer that development 210 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:54,240 or that investment uh for up to five or 10 years and the percentages. There's a 211 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,440 calculation. I don't believe there's anything there that would limit the type 212 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,480 of development. >> That's great. 213 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,799 » That's awesome. Thank you. >> Mhm. 214 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:08,480 » All right. Do we have any motions for >> Go ahead and make a motion that we 215 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,880 accept CM-26-47. >> Second. 216 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,080 » Roll call.

Next, we have CM-26-48. 224 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,960 » It's a resolution to appoint members to the Miami Valley Regional Planning 225 00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:34,799 Commission, the MVRPC. Whereas the Miami Valley Regional 226 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,919 Planning Commission, known as the MVRPC, requires that the municipality of West 227 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,919 Milton have delegates for their technical advisory commission and their 228 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:46,080 executive board. And whereas the municipality currently has previous 229 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:49,360 village manager D. Jeffrey Sheridan and previous mayor Scott Hurst as 230 00:19:47,679 --> 00:19:53,200 representatives, both of which no longer represent the municipality. And whereas 231 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:57,600 the village council wishes to remove D. Jeffrey Sherid Sheridan and Scott Hurst 232 00:19:55,679 --> 00:20:01,200 as representatives. And whereas the village council wishes to appoint Jeremy 233 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:06,400 Sauders as the elected official representative with Kyle Hingleman as 234 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:10,320 the board alternate for the MVRPC board of directors. And whereas the village 235 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:15,200 council wishes to appoint Ben Haron as the TAC delegate and Kyle Hinklelman as 236 00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:19,120 the alternate TAC delegate for the technical advisory committee. Now 237 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:23,520 therefore be it resolved by the council of the village of West Melton, Ohio that 238 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,559 section one D. Jeffrey Sheridan and Scott Hurst are hereby removed as 239 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:30,559 representatives for the municipality of West Milton with the Miami Valley 240 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:34,320 Regional Planning Commission. Section two, Mayor Jeremy Sauders is hereby 241 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:37,600 appointed to be the primary representative and Kyle Hingleman, 242 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,640 village manager, is appointed to be the board alternate for the MVRPC board of 243 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:46,480 directors. Section 3, Ben Herren, service director, is hereby appointed to 244 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,919 be the primary representative, and Kyle Hinkleman, village manager, is appointed 245 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,760 to be the alternate delegate for the technical advisory committee. Section 246 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:59,120 four, this resolution shall take effect and be in full force upon passage. 247 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,880 » Kyle, can you explain that? >> Certainly. So, the Miami Valley Regional 248 00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:06,960 Planning Commission, if you are not familiar, is the regional planning body 249 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:11,360 that almost all jurisdictions in our area are members of. We are a member. 250 00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:15,919 We've been a member for many years. Uh, every year we appoint people to that 251 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:21,039 board or we are supposed to appoint delegates to that board. Um, there are 252 00:21:18,159 --> 00:21:26,880 two boards. the uh board of directors or executive body is elected officials and 253 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,840 usually there's an alternate uh that kind of goes to most of the meetings but 254 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:35,360 the elected official certainly has a right to uh this the village had uh our 255 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:39,280 previous mayor and previous uh municipal manager. Uh so we have replaced them 256 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:44,240 with our current mayor and current municipal manager. Um the TAC or the 257 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,440 technical advisory committee is a body is a subcommittee of that group and what 258 00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:54,320 they do is they review uh roadway applications, funding applications 259 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:59,360 dealing with uh public works. Uh so what we've requested is to have Ben uh as our 260 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:03,280 service director and um very knowledgeable person when it comes to 261 00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:06,400 our roadways uh kind of be our primary person and then if he's unable to 262 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:11,039 attend, I will certainly cover the gap if necessary. Right. 263 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:15,760 » Thank you. All right. Any more discussion on 264 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:19,360 » Thank you for getting that cleared up and doing that. We appreciate that. 265 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,840 » Any motions? >> A [clears throat] motion we approve 266 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,080 resolution C-26-48. >> Second. 267 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,360 » Roll call. >> Mr. Fogle? 268 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,480 » Yes. >> Mr. Todd? 269 00:22:28,159 --> 00:22:29,600 » Yes. >> Miss Gregory? 270 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,720 » Yes. >> Miss Meds? 271 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,080 » Yes. >> M.

Uh so thank you for everyone that I've met. I've uh I've 277 00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:54,240 been uh very very lucky to have a lot of people come into my office over the last 278 00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:58,640 couple weeks. Uh it's been uh overwhelming honestly with uh whether 279 00:22:56,159 --> 00:23:02,640 it's residents or businesses um just coming to talk. I've had a great 280 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:07,600 experience with that. Um I'm also so thankful for the staff that we we have 281 00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:11,600 here. Um, I think as I learn every day, uh, this community is blessed to have, 282 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:16,159 uh, such a great group of people that are willing to put their time and effort 283 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:20,640 to make this community better. So, um, I'm very excited about that. Uh, what 284 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,760 I'd like to do, uh, at every meeting is kind of give you kind of a recap of some 285 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:27,120 of the things that are going on in the village, let the public know. Um, if 286 00:23:25,679 --> 00:23:31,200 there's any questions that the public has about anything that I bring up, I'd 287 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,720 love for you to stop in my office. Um, feel free to give me a call. We can 288 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:38,240 definitely talk about it. Um, first thing to say, uh, obviously you'll see 289 00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:42,960 there's been a couple changes to the meeting, uh, kind of just the way that 290 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:47,600 we do that. Um, we're posting village, uh, agendas, uh, to the website. Um, 291 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:51,360 we're posting as many links as we can to our Facebook to get people to be able to 292 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,880 hopefully watch this meeting tonight. Uh, as well as understand the materials 293 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,799 that are going to be on this meeting for your consideration. Uh, the goal with 294 00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:02,640 all of this is to be as transparent as we can. Uh, so if there's a way that we 295 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,480 can do that better, uh, please just let us know. Uh and we certainly believe 296 00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:10,240 strongly in that making sure that people understand what we're we're trying to 297 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:15,279 achieve at these meetings. A couple things just in terms of projects just to 298 00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:19,600 cover so you're aware. Um we have a state route uh 571 pedestrian 299 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:25,120 improvement project which is a really long name for that thing that's going on 300 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:28,880 in 571 that connects us to the hill uh that's on the right side of the road as 301 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:36,480 you drive down the road. Um, so that project uh is an expanded um pedestrian 302 00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:40,880 pathway, whether that's bikes, walking, we'll figure out golf carts when we get 303 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:45,279 there. Um, you know, all of that is occurring. It is on schedule and on 304 00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:50,320 budget right now. So, uh, the schedule is to be completed by 9:30. Uh, so 305 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:55,039 hopefully, uh, here by the end of September, uh, we will have a road back 306 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:58,720 without giant orange cones. Uh, but, um, that is the schedule right now. We are 307 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:03,279 on schedule for that. Uh we're also working on a sanitary sewer trunk main 308 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:07,279 replacement project. Uh so that one isn't quite as visible uh to most 309 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:14,799 people, but it is a really important project to the village where we are um 310 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:19,840 working to replace uh the um trunk line that goes from the wastewater treatment 311 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:25,919 plant north about 3,200 ft of it. Um it's being replaced as well as um 15 man 312 00:25:23,679 --> 00:25:29,840 holes that are part of that. Uh, so I believe we're on schedule for that. When 313 00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:35,360 is it completed, Ben? >> They So they started the lining today. 314 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:39,360 Okay. Um or this week. So I would say another couple weeks probably on the 315 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,440 lining and then reclamation. >> Yep. So we're we're well on schedule. Uh 316 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:48,559 we'll be done this year. Uh that's going to be a great program for us. And a lot 317 00:25:45,679 --> 00:25:51,520 of just uh as you'll understand um as we try to go through some of these other 318 00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:55,520 projects as we move forward. A lot of what I understand some of the challenges 319 00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:58,960 that we have is the infiltration that occurs in these pipes. So every time we 320 00:25:57,039 --> 00:26:03,200 do a project hopefully it makes us a little more efficient and our pipes 321 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:08,559 don't leak as much uh which allows us to have a reduction in what we call ini and 322 00:26:05,679 --> 00:26:12,720 that helps us get lower waste which is what we really want. So that's a great 323 00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:16,000 project for us. Um we're also looking at some other projects here at the end of 324 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:20,960 the year which will probably set us up for next year like the Hask and Hamilton 325 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:28,000 roadway improvement project. Um, if anyone has ever driven down Haske uh at 326 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:31,679 700 a.m. or 3:00, uh, there's some impacts to that. It's it's a little 327 00:26:29,679 --> 00:26:35,679 scary when you try to make a left turn. Um, and so we're looking at that, trying 328 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:39,520 to understand some of those improvements in that area. Um, no, nothing planned as 329 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:44,000 of now. We're just kind of looking at that. That is very likely to become a 330 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:48,000 project though, uh, in 2027. Uh, and then I just wanted to throw out um, two 331 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:52,559 other things really quickly. the village service center um renovations began as 332 00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:57,919 you are well aware you approved renovations for the service center um 333 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:01,919 that is started on Monday uh so we believe that should be done before the 334 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:05,919 winter um and so we're excited about that our service guys are certainly 335 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:09,600 excited about that and then finally uh Stillwater Crossing the only update I 336 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:13,360 can really give you on uh the development is um we are trying to 337 00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:18,400 schedule a meeting with the developer uh unfortunately he has been in Florida uh 338 00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:21,600 and had some some other things go. Um, so I've yet to have a chance to meet 339 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:26,640 with him, but I am going to be scheduling time to discuss the project 340 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:31,360 and I will make sure to update you as I can every month. Um, my goal with all 341 00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:35,360 this as well on any of these projects, we're going to put together a project 342 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:39,919 page on our website uh so the public can see kind of where we're at in timelines, 343 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,640 budgets, all of those things. Again, our goal is to make sure people understand 344 00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:46,720 all the great things that we're doing in this community and we are certainly 345 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:51,840 doing a whole heck of a lot of them. So, um, additional to that, just so you guys 346 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:56,000 are all aware, um, the village is working through our health insurance 347 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:59,600 right now. So, unfortunately, uh, as I would imagine most businesses that are 348 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:03,200 seeing that the rates are are not as lovely as we'd like them to be. Um, so 349 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,880 we're probably going to bring you back um, some information about that as that 350 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,480 comes forward. But then I want to finish with the good news. Um, the village has 351 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:14,080 so many great things. If you were part of this village on the 4th of July, you 352 00:28:12,159 --> 00:28:21,039 saw it. You saw all the people come together um and put together from the 5K 353 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:24,240 to the parade to the carnival to the fireworks. It was an absolutely 354 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:28,799 wonderful day in this community. We celebrated the 250th uh anniversary of 355 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:33,279 our country and I think we definitely did it proud. Uh it was an absolutely 356 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:36,399 wonderful uh event. I know there were some concerns about fireworks, which I 357 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:41,360 think it's important to remind people the village doesn't put the fireworks 358 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:46,399 off, but um that was a a decision that was made um by the people that were in 359 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:50,399 charge to do it a little bit early. Uh very similar to what Anglewood did and 360 00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:54,880 Troy did. Uh it was a safety concern and and uh we certainly support that 361 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:59,120 decision that they made. Um I know it was beautiful and everybody enjoyed it. 362 00:28:56,399 --> 00:29:04,799 So um I'm very glad. Um, last but not least, um, the fire department waffles 363 00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:08,000 on Friday has begun. So, if you do not get those waffles on Friday, you're 364 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:13,520 missing out because they're pretty stinking good. Um, so that's all that I 365 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,399 have for you, mayor. Uh, if there's any other questions that, uh, 366 00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:19,840 [clears throat] council has of me, I'd be more than happy to address any 367 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,760 questions from you guys. >> Yes. 368 00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:26,320 » I'd be right if I didn't have a couple. >> Sure. [laughter] 369 00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:31,919 So, when you talk to Ron and Jason, Still Water Crossings, could you um see 370 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:35,520 they have said before that every few months they're going to come to a 371 00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:41,039 workshop. if they could come to our workshop either in July or August to 372 00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:46,480 give us an update and uh the rest of the public an update. Uh and please ask them 373 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:52,399 about the high grass and weeds cuz I'm sorry I drive that every day on the way 374 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:56,480 to work on the way home from work and it's a terrible look coming into our 375 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:59,039 village. I'm sorry. It's just it's not good. Uh both sides 376 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:06,080 » certainly. >> Yep. Um and I know coming up in August 377 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:10,240 time frame I believe uh the finance committee is going to be meeting uh 378 00:30:07,919 --> 00:30:15,440 three members from council along with all the department heads. I didn't know 379 00:30:11,919 --> 00:30:21,919 if we are targeting a time frame uh for that and who from council might be 380 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:28,080 interested in doing it. Uh I know that uh I would think that uh uh Mr. Francis 381 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,080 over there would be a good uh good candidate. 382 00:30:29,435 --> 00:30:34,799 [laughter] Yeah, >> I would I would pick him also. 383 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:39,360 » I I would I would like to be involved this year if uh everyone else on council 384 00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:41,760 was fine with that. I wasn't last year on it unless anybody has any objections. 385 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,840 » So, >> I mean, I'd also like to be on it, but 386 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,760 I'm okay if you want to. >> Rock, paper, scissors. [laughter] 387 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,080 » I yield. You go ahead. >> Yeah. 388 00:30:50,159 --> 00:30:57,360 » So, we're only allowed to have three. >> Correct. Um, and u I know that that's 389 00:30:54,799 --> 00:31:00,159 coming up uh in the near term. So I just thought I'd throw it out there. 390 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,840 » October, sir. >> Oh, I thought it was August. 391 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:08,240 » Yeah. So what the time? Actually, I uh had a good conversation with Jill today 392 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:12,720 about our timeline for budgets. Um I will admit to you that I am still trying 393 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:17,360 to fully understand where we bring money in and how we spend money. Um but 394 00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:21,440 understanding the budget timeline, we are working to keep what roughly what 395 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:25,120 you said. So, we're going to be meeting with our department heads here at the 396 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:28,960 end of July, early August to talk through a preliminary kind of setup for 397 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,720 that. Um, you're going to get a little bit of a different budget process this 398 00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:36,559 year. I really believe strongly in a budget book that has a narrative and 399 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:40,880 explains why we're doing what we're doing. Um, so you can understand some of 400 00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:44,480 that, which takes a little bit more leg work, but I think it helps in terms of 401 00:31:42,399 --> 00:31:48,720 our transparency with the public and how we're trying to achieve um, you know, 402 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,600 our goals. Uh, so we're going to do a little bit more setup. So that's going 403 00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:55,519 to take us probably at the beginning or middle of July here in the next two 404 00:31:53,760 --> 00:32:00,480 weeks. Um we're going to get then everything set up with kind of the 405 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:04,480 general process. So probably by August workshop is when we're going to have our 406 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:08,960 first kind of first conversation about that and then we will have to after that 407 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:12,480 meet with the committee uh to talk through everything to get it prepared 408 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:17,760 for September. The long and the short of it is we will have it done so we adopt 409 00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:21,279 it in December which requires us to have it on the agenda in November. 410 00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:23,840 » Yes, sir. Sounds great. >> Okay. 411 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:29,360 » And the last thing is the Founders Park. Any updates with Founders Park and um 412 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,440 where things stand with that? >> You go for it. You got anything? 413 00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:36,960 » Yeah. >> Yeah. So, we're surveying it because the 414 00:32:33,679 --> 00:32:40,399 property pins were can't find them. I even sent Tim Schwarzber out when he 415 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,799 couldn't find them. I knew they weren't there. So, uh, we're having it surveyed. 416 00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:51,039 Um, manager HKLman, uh, asked me to go out for pricing. So, we're going to get 417 00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:55,279 some survey work done. They'll reset the pins, and then after that, um, we're 418 00:32:53,120 --> 00:33:00,000 pretty much ready to go on everything. The parking area in the back is I marked 419 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:05,600 that out. Our crews for now are going to just dig that, put in gravel, and then, 420 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:10,240 um, we'll have to look at, uh, the the fence contractor. He's ready to go. And 421 00:33:08,159 --> 00:33:15,120 then we'll we've already got it set the shade structure to go in. Um I think 422 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:19,519 we're probably going to put it in a flat area. So it still leaves us the rest of 423 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:25,840 the park to grade in the future. That's going to be a large project and fairly 424 00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:28,799 expensive because of the trees that were there and that sort of thing. So at 425 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:34,880 least we will have some tables, some shade, and uh then we can start working 426 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:38,960 on the rest as we go. >> Sounds good. And I will say, and I think 427 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:43,519 I've I've spoken to most of council, I mean, my goal is to provide to you um a 428 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,960 park plan, something that shows kind of what we've got in our parks, kind of 429 00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:51,440 goes along with that facilities plan concept, shows each of our parks, what 430 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:54,880 amenities we have, and then shows, you know, priorities in each of those parks 431 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:58,399 or projects that we have. So, we can talk through those and make sure we 432 00:33:56,159 --> 00:34:01,039 understand um kind of the impacts of whatever we're we're doing in each of 433 00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:03,279 those. So, you can also understand the timelines like as you asked. 434 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,360 » Sounds great. >> Yep. Thanks. That's all I have. Any 435 00:34:06,243 --> 00:34:12,639 [cough and clears throat] more council comments? 436 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,240 All right. Any motions for adjournment? Motion. 437 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:21,000 » Second. >> All in favor? Hi. Hi. 438 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000 » What?
