--> 00:05:10,000 something that you have worked on here in order to get that straightened out 23 00:05:06,490 --> 00:05:14,560 and the last result and the final result was that we are putting her on an hourly 24 00:05:12,010 --> 00:05:20,919 basis so that we can keep track and there are a few issues that Patrick and 25 00:05:16,690 --> 00:05:25,570 our ministry needs to straighten out in terms of holidays than that 26 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,260 to make sure we're in conformant well that we could inform that everything 27 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:33,460 that basically is here the other major project that we're going to start 28 00:05:31,090 --> 00:05:38,020 looking at that we have that empty lot that is to the west of us and I'm 29 00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:42,130 checking into who the owner is and as the building that would be to the self 30 00:05:39,729 --> 00:05:47,320 if that empty lot because there's a job in that description on the map and we'd 31 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,490 like to get that straightened out and if not we're going to possibly be looking 32 00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:55,060 at cleaning up behind that garage because we'd like to start putting 33 00:05:53,530 --> 00:05:59,090 electrical back there and we'd like to put maybe a picnic table or two and 34 00:05:57,370 --> 00:06:02,360 maybe even a small shelter it's a request that the librarians have 35 00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:07,070 had where they couldn't eat lunch outside and enjoy it in the back it's 36 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,210 also a place that a lot of people are using our internet and would like to 37 00:06:09,139 --> 00:06:24,020 have a space outside and if we have something back there would make it that 38 00:06:13,370 --> 00:06:27,260 much more appealing so we're taking just a quick comment so we are gonna clean up 39 00:06:25,699 --> 00:06:30,889 Friday morning at 10:30 we've got a meeting to get all that straightened 40 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:34,030 away with the librarian status so it should be all taken care of by Friday 41 00:06:35,500 --> 00:07:03,440 Frank thank you Thanks report Frank will write out a committee report public work 42 00:06:43,340 --> 00:07:09,020 mr. gage second it motion made and seconded any questions yeah so we we bit 43 00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:13,340 out the treatment plant project and Myron was the low bidder within the 44 00:07:11,150 --> 00:07:16,400 contract we had allowances set up most of the allowance items are items that it 45 00:07:15,289 --> 00:07:21,950 was like equipment that we were gonna get SCADA equipment those types of 46 00:07:18,169 --> 00:07:26,450 things what this is here is we actually get a credit back even though my urn put 47 00:07:23,870 --> 00:07:29,750 in a bid on our allowances we get a credit back if we don't spend them all 48 00:07:27,889 --> 00:07:39,530 and so that's what the credit would be in to the tune of 69 thousand dollars so 49 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:43,849 it's a good thing that credits our total bill become that right right right 50 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:47,060 all right sit credits the contract so it's it's money we wouldn't have to pay 51 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:54,500 because we didn't we're not really getting anything out of that yeah yeah 52 00:07:50,750 --> 00:08:14,120 any questions all in favor say aye aye opposed I'll second it 53 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:18,980 mantra may 2nd it for pay requests number 18 - Myron any questions on that 54 00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:23,000 this one we are holding so it is still vital that you do the contingency for 55 00:08:20,870 --> 00:08:30,140 lien waivers right now we are sitting on pay requests 15 16 17 and then 18 so 56 00:08:27,380 --> 00:08:33,050 we're waiting on lien waivers it sounds like all that information is coming in 57 00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:37,430 so we should be able to release payment here within the next week but then there 58 00:08:35,570 --> 00:08:43,070 will be one more final pay request to close out the contracts so pay requests 59 00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:50,600 number 19 will be the final any questions on favor say aye aye 60 00:08:47,000 --> 00:09:04,180 both motion carries thank you both approved cedar I'll second it 61 00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:09,459 motion made second and we did discuss that anybody got any questions on it all 62 00:09:08,050 --> 00:09:16,779 favor say aye + motion carry motion to prove to hire 63 00:09:14,260 --> 00:09:26,610 an additional seasonal worker to pump the quarks utilities for the summer 2017 64 00:09:19,410 --> 00:09:32,019 to assist in transition second tap questions on that just a real quick 65 00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:35,350 comment to follow up for Public Works the idea here is that because the city 66 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,310 is not going to go with an interim administrator we're gonna look at 67 00:09:37,389 --> 00:09:43,360 elevating the supervisor down into an interim role more of an administrative 68 00:09:40,769 --> 00:09:48,310 supervisory role this then would help fill those those working hours that he 69 00:09:45,579 --> 00:09:53,320 have this then would bring a total to the seasonal employees of 3 for the 70 00:09:50,740 --> 00:09:58,510 summer we did interview 5 candidates yesterday and today so we we will have 71 00:09:56,010 --> 00:10:01,860 enough people due to get hired and I think at least one or two of them will 72 00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:05,170 be people that are in the wastewater schooling so they're people that we 73 00:10:04,060 --> 00:10:09,010 might even be able to plug into the treatment plan - rather than just set 74 00:10:07,029 --> 00:10:13,149 them out on a mower and have them cut grass we'll have one or two that are 75 00:10:10,690 --> 00:10:18,430 technically inclined to be able to fill in for the full-time guys on some level 76 00:10:14,829 --> 00:10:31,829 - so that'll be very good any more questions Oh favor say aye 77 00:10:21,579 --> 00:10:31,829 both okay thanks Bruce finance painting 78 00:10:45,230 --> 00:10:54,240 general and can carry over up to one week from year to year 42 hours for 79 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:59,880 police and 40 hours general I'll second bit all right it was a quite a 80 00:10:57,660 --> 00:11:03,930 discussion and Finance Committee and make any questions on it we'll just give 81 00:11:02,490 --> 00:11:08,220 a quick note these three items are personnel items like the mayor mentioned 82 00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:13,320 we did talk about a bit finance right now the main change here is that police 83 00:11:11,610 --> 00:11:19,740 are able to accumulate up to 84 hours today they can carry over 36 hours all 84 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:24,540 general employees there's some kind of goofy language that says that they could 85 00:11:21,090 --> 00:11:27,690 only earn up to 40 hours total for the year and then they had to pay it all out 86 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,290 where you couldn't carry it over so what we're looking to do here is make it 87 00:11:28,830 --> 00:11:35,640 where you can have a rolling balance as long as your balance doesn't go above 2 88 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,930 weeks and you can carry over a week this would be important more so for the 89 00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:42,750 people that just start out because you don't get vacation right away when you 90 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,670 start out so if you're able to get comp if you can bank it and roll it you can 91 00:11:45,570 --> 00:11:50,910 use it sort of like vacation then too so but at least this way it gets it 92 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,270 standard for police it's 2 weeks you can have for balance in one week you can 93 00:11:52,380 --> 00:12:14,090 carry over year to year thank you questions oh oh favor say 14 days set of 94 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,090 14 working days 95 00:12:14,220 --> 00:12:24,670 we did self explanatory any questions on favor say aye 96 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:29,529 both thank you like to make a motion to modify section 7.2 of the personnel 97 00:12:26,769 --> 00:12:33,880 manual to reference the vacations are not to be approved during 14 day notice 98 00:12:31,959 --> 00:12:37,870 period leading up to a resignation and keep language that retains city council 99 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:47,380 authority to grant approvals to special circumstances and he only changes that 100 00:12:44,649 --> 00:12:52,540 from number two you're supposed to give a 14 working day 14 shift notice and the 101 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:56,589 change here with this section then is that that 14 working days we have 102 00:12:54,610 --> 00:13:02,800 existing language that says you need to work all 14 where if you would take a 103 00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:05,760 day off it adds a day on - before you can leave so the intent there is that 104 00:13:04,209 --> 00:13:09,850 you don't want people just taking off during their notice period and that's I 105 00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:14,230 think this sufficiently fixes that and says that no new vacation request would 106 00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:23,880 be granted you can't just get one granted before you leave questions 107 00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:29,980 all in favor say aye whose motion carry number four motion to approve checks 108 00:13:27,730 --> 00:13:33,970 number three to ninety five six through three three zero zero four

well that's the next step 125 00:15:47,230 --> 00:15:54,160 that's not part of this but in general what you're doing is you're splitting 126 00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:59,020 the 106 property to then give

eighteen dollars in taxable storage system revenue bonds providing 153 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:23,639 for other details of covenants to respect their to clean water fund loan 154 00:19:11,999 --> 00:19:28,950 for their wastewater treatment why so we've gotten a couple of approvals over 155 00:19:26,220 --> 00:19:33,149 the years and maybe more recently to do all that it's necessary to carry out and 156 00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:38,279 apply for clean water fund loan to the dnr we probably have a good enough 157 00:19:36,090 --> 00:19:43,399 approval to be able to carry this out borrow the money I mean we've done a lot 158 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:47,669 of debt defeating transferring money refinancing and we probably have an 159 00:19:46,049 --> 00:19:52,860 approval to get this done here but what the DNR is looking for is a clean 160 00:19:49,679 --> 00:19:55,950 resolution that says no more than six point one eight five million dollars 161 00:19:54,419 --> 00:19:59,370 will be borrowed but they want to have a bat approval that says that you're 162 00:19:57,929 --> 00:20:02,940 signing off on this is the these are the funds then 163 00:20:00,780 --> 00:20:05,730 that will pay off the construction loan on the treatment plant but essentially 164 00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:09,840 then this will be the permanent financing for the treatment plant and I 165 00:20:08,429 --> 00:20:15,390 believe the interest rate that we're looking at is under three I think it 166 00:20:12,299 --> 00:20:19,530 said like the 2.5% range that's a very good interest rate as well but on this 167 00:20:17,940 --> 00:20:23,250 resolution basically they're they're just cleaning up all the approvals that 168 00:20:21,150 --> 00:20:32,080 we've had and we would be looking then that that money would be disbursed to us 169 00:20:25,230 --> 00:20:48,890 next Wednesday so questions roll-call Thank You Don the mayor's 170 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:54,290 report I guess I really don't have a whole

00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:27,500 yep that would be a wonderful thing that we get something going off there 177 00:21:24,620 --> 00:21:34,640 apparently there's a lot of interest in it and I guess that's about all I got I 178 00:21:32,330 --> 00:21:38,780 didn't hear nothing much else County Board was today but it was should say it 179 00:21:37,490 --> 00:21:43,520 this way but it was pretty boring because everybody's reading their ear 180 00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:47,770 and budgets and expenditures and [Music] 181 00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:54,110 explaining where all the money went and it's interesting but that's gonna get 182 00:21:51,590 --> 00:22:01,220 the IOA department and they talk millions of dollars and but they do have 183 00:21:56,990 --> 00:22:06,550 a very specific financial report and tell you what every PC equipment they 184 00:22:04,550 --> 00:22:12,140 got how many hours it works in a year how many ton of gravel they hauled and 185 00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:20,450 where it came from and how many miles the trucks got on so it's compiled is 186 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:25,490 pretty pretty tight and KC fighters are for a new commissioner down there does a 187 00:22:23,450 --> 00:22:30,410 heck of a job for a new guy coming in he turned in a really nice report so if you 188 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:35,660 happen to run into him or we want to look at one I got a copy of it 189 00:22:32,030 --> 00:22:39,790 tell keys he's doing a good job that's all I got 190 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:43,760 thank you please Chiefs not back in ministry yeah yeah thank you 191 00:22:42,050 --> 00:22:47,580 so just to follow up on the Mill Pond circle land 192 00:22:44,730 --> 00:22:50,970 just as a reminder the and maybe it's to some of you it should be a reminder to 193 00:22:49,169 --> 00:22:54,960 some of you it's just a refresher maybe that the public property committee 194 00:22:52,980 --> 00:23:00,270 wanted to get a timeline set for these lots and within that timeline next 195 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:04,200 Tuesday we're gonna have a public property meeting I think it's set for 196 00:23:01,710 --> 00:23:07,320 5:00 p.m. here and what we're doing is we're getting the information out to all 197 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,350 the people locally that expressed interest in lots over the last couple 198 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:14,640 months setting it up to a lot of Homebuilders to directly and we've also 199 00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:21,179 I think we've sent it to ten home builders Association's and at least 200 00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:25,110 eight of them within most homer within like an hour of here where a Builder 201 00:23:22,679 --> 00:23:28,290 might come eight of the ten had said that they were distributed to all of 202 00:23:26,610 --> 00:23:32,160 their members which means that we're in the neighborhood of like five hundred 203 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:35,040 builders that have the information so next Tuesday we will have an 204 00:23:33,390 --> 00:23:39,600 informational meeting a lot of people have questions on whether or not those 205 00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:43,950 Lots as they exist need to be the lot lines and the Lots you know can people 206 00:23:41,429 --> 00:23:48,390 combine cut Lots those are the type of questions that we'll answer so that's 207 00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:53,820 next Tuesday the 25th the proposals themselves are due on May 10th they will 208 00:23:51,540 --> 00:23:58,650 be not sealed bids but they will be confidential and on May 15th the City 209 00:23:56,549 --> 00:24:03,990 Council will you're scheduled to review those in open session or a closed 210 00:24:00,179 --> 00:24:07,290 session in order to review the proposals and then I guess divvy out the Lots or 211 00:24:05,850 --> 00:24:12,150 choose who you want to work with so that's the schedule on that end the the 212 00:24:10,590 --> 00:24:16,049 other item I would just add real quickly is that Becky had received a call today 213 00:24:14,190 --> 00:24:21,540 from the American transmission company which is a powerline company they had 214 00:24:18,780 --> 00:24:27,000 inquired about our Arbor Day observance and indicated that they would like to 215 00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:31,080 donate towards that and so what we had told them was that we would probably 216 00:24:28,169 --> 00:24:35,000 back it up to me we would set a date and they would like to donate it so it's 217 00:24:33,270 --> 00:24:39,059 probably a significant amount of money help out planting trees or whatever we 218 00:24:37,380 --> 00:24:42,240 need to do there so that's that's a very good thing that just happened today so 219 00:24:40,679 --> 00:24:47,790 I'm just passing that along kind of informally 220 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:51,660 yeah and then the other item I would mentioned is that the mayor myself 221 00:24:50,250 --> 00:24:56,580 didn't meet with integrated public resources today with Russ fan gampo to 222 00:24:53,940 --> 00:25:01,320 lay out what could be a schedule for the administrator recruitment and what we're 223 00:24:58,950 --> 00:25:06,510 looking at just tentatively is we would probably have a city council meeting 224 00:25:03,390 --> 00:25:10,440 next week to hammer out the ad try to figure out on your end what do you what 225 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:14,790 are the important attributes for an administrator what are you looking for 226 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:20,520 individually as well as collectively I think tentatively they'd be looking at a 227 00:25:17,340 --> 00:25:26,970 early May advertisement collect applications until June 9th first week 228 00:25:23,850 --> 00:25:32,640 in June and then set the week of June 26th for final interviews and what they 229 00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:37,140 be looking for is probably a social event an open house type event and then 230 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:41,490 the next day would be interviews and exams and those types of things so the 231 00:25:40,110 --> 00:25:44,250 tricky part is that there's a bit there's a city administrator conference 232 00:25:42,930 --> 00:25:48,300 in the middle of June that they're trying to avoid for that interview 233 00:25:45,630 --> 00:25:53,550 session and then July for the weekend is like the last it's that next weekend 234 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,100 after the 26 so it might be like it during the week but that'll be something 235 00:25:55,020 --> 00:26:01,770 that'll be hammered out probably next week a little bit better but we did have 236 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:04,590 a good chat with Russ today and then I did give him a little bit of a tour of 237 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:09,290 some of the development projects we got going on in town after 2 so he's excited 238 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:14,940 to get going with the search other than that obviously I did the news 239 00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:18,890 has been out you guys have known about it for a few weeks now that I am taking 240 00:26:16,530 --> 00:26:23,610 a new job in the town of Lawrence and I've got two more weeks left and I'd 241 00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:26,640 like to say this is my last council meeting but we have one more tonight 242 00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:31,910 probably one more next week and maybe even another one you have to 243 00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:35,540 but I just wanted to say I just put in a record that I've been very thankful for 244 00:26:33,740 --> 00:26:39,110 the opportunity here and I think we've done a lot of good things so just give 245 00:26:37,850 --> 00:26:42,410 you a quick thank you and probably give you a longer think you're one of the 246 00:26:40,190 --> 00:26:52,370 other meetings coming up so thank you thank you pat Oh back up a little bit 247 00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:55,210 please chief yes your report which I was filling the pancreas 248 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,349 [Music] 249 00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:28,480 what happened 250 00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:48,269 all right thanks chief such other matters is authorized by law 251 00:27:45,219 --> 00:27:48,269 anybody got anything 252 00:27:48,899 --> 00:28:07,839 then I'll entertain a motion to go into closed session employment promotion 253 00:28:05,669 --> 00:28:12,190 translational performance evaluation yeah any city employee who is subject to 254 00:28:10,690 --> 00:28:15,489 this jurisdiction or authority of the council the reason for the closed 255 00:28:13,719 --> 00:28:21,249 session if discussed city administrator timeline final paycheck sales clerk and 256 00:28:19,209 --> 00:28:25,179 treasurer duties functions and interim staff its stations compensation yet the 257 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:29,289 council adjourns into closed session that a Jew's reconvened into open 258 00:28:27,159 --> 00:28:34,719 session and at the completion of the closed session in order to take action 259 00:28:31,450 --> 00:28:45,929 on items from a fall session pursuant to state statutes 1985 subsection 2 motion 260 00:28:42,429 --> 00:28:45,929 a second roll call 261 00:28:57,729 --> 00:29:14,169 659 okay so we are back from open session or from closed session it's 7:40 262 00:29:05,450 --> 00:29:14,169 to take a minute break here so also 263 00:29:15,159 --> 00:29:25,010 ordinance 2017 - three charter ordinance to amend chapter 110 of officers and 264 00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:29,809 employees of the city by weeka code ordinances by creating the position of 265 00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:37,120 city minister and reinstating the positions of clerk and treasurer waive 266 00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:37,120 the reading motion made and seconded 267 00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:45,470 yeah just for the record for the recording this is a charter ordinance 268 00:29:44,210 --> 00:29:51,679 basically what you're looking to do is re recreate the administrative structure 269 00:29:49,399 --> 00:29:55,970 and that in the offices of clerk and treasurer where in the past you have had 270 00:29:54,020 --> 00:30:01,429 an administrator clerk treasurer which was my spot 271 00:29:56,870 --> 00:30:05,210 as I I guess fade out or transition out what we're looking at doing is 272 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:11,419 reinstating the position of clerk and the position of treasurer and those are 273 00:30:07,570 --> 00:30:16,640 city officers so with that this charter ordinance would amend your ordinances to 274 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,580 set up that where your next city administrator would just be city 275 00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:24,950 administrator you would then have a clerk and a treasurer and as we've 276 00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:29,179 discussed we are working on promoting from within to fill those roles so there 277 00:30:26,929 --> 00:30:33,559 will not be a search for clerk or treasurer and and the intent of the City 278 00:30:31,970 --> 00:30:38,899 Council is that probably at a special meeting next week we would get that 279 00:30:36,730 --> 00:30:45,140 clarified with the clerk a treasurer and then get a ad set out for a city 280 00:30:41,659 --> 00:30:48,070 administrator is that fair fairly described okay 281 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,960 Hey 282 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:14,080 all right they can make motion to approve the administrator final payout 283 00:31:10,010 --> 00:31:14,080 of five weeks of accumulated time off 284 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:30,500 seconded any questions on that all favor say aye aye both what you 285 00:31:25,340 --> 00:31:36,380 carry thank you thank you for keen eye we're at 15 15 15 so that was the night 286 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:40,390 and that was 14 item from the closed session that's the only item from the 287 00:31:37,820 --> 00:31:40,390 closed session 288 00:31:50,510 --> 00:31:57,930 questions just a quick comment for the record we've explained this couple times 289 00:31:54,600 --> 00:32:01,920 so appreciate your patience right now the public works in utilities pay scale 290 00:31:59,970 --> 00:32:08,070 is based on their DNR water and wastewater licenses when we set this up 291 00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:13,110 in 2014 the water certification was an operator in training which is passing a 292 00:32:10,530 --> 00:32:18,510 test and then grade one is one year of experience at a training you get a 293 00:32:15,930 --> 00:32:22,970 quarter increase above the base rate and when you become a grade one operator you 294 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:27,990 get 75 cents for your one year on wastewater and so the water has not 295 00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:32,460 changed on wastewater when we set this up we had five different classifications 296 00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:36,570 for license so it was T which is the training operator in training and then 297 00:32:34,710 --> 00:32:41,040 one two three and four which correspondent roughly to the number of 298 00:32:38,310 --> 00:32:46,110 years of experience that you had what the DNR had done recently was they 299 00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:52,080 reduced those grades from five different license grades down to T basic and 300 00:32:49,860 --> 00:32:57,090 advanced what the Public Works Committee had reviewed was that the basic 301 00:32:54,260 --> 00:33:01,230 wastewater operator is very similar to a grade one water operator where they need 302 00:32:58,950 --> 00:33:05,640 to have a test past and have one year of experience so what the Public Works 303 00:33:03,510 --> 00:33:11,730 Committee was recommending was that the basic wastewater operator would get a 75 304 00:33:08,490 --> 00:33:18,150 percent seventy five cent pay bump similar to that of a grade one water 305 00:33:14,150 --> 00:33:23,280 operator the next then is an advanced wastewater operator which requires three 306 00:33:20,730 --> 00:33:27,510 years of experience and because the grade three in grade four in the old 307 00:33:25,230 --> 00:33:33,080 scale was sixty cents for one seventy for the other roughly a dollar thirty 308 00:33:29,450 --> 00:33:39,480 the committee hadn't looked at a advanced wastewater pay bump realizing 309 00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:44,370 that you get a bump at year one for basic year two you would not increase so 310 00:33:42,810 --> 00:33:48,330 you would not get a raise for year two but then in year three then you would 311 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:52,440 pick up your advance license the recommendation there then is to add 312 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:56,500 advanced wastewater operator at one dollar and fifty cent raised on top of 313 00:33:54,660 --> 00:34:09,070 where the operator is at does that make sense yep okay we kind of 314 00:34:05,940 --> 00:34:12,820 roll call don't know I know you'd be able to to just fold on there I'm 315 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,810 swimming if it's unanimous you'll any questions oh he just all in favor say 316 00:34:15,460 --> 00:34:22,240 aye Lois motion carried thank you 317 00:34:19,060 --> 00:34:28,050 number 16 they asked us to push it all them talk weeks yep
