[0:00] See
if everybody's here. I got
[0:06] all right. Looks like everybody's here.
6 p.m. We're ready to roll. So for those
[0:10] who'd like to join us in the gle
[0:16] to the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which it
[0:21] stands, one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice
[0:26] for all.
>> All right. Thank you. Y
[0:34] » present.
>> Alder
[0:35] » present.
>> Alder Keane
[0:37] » present.
>> Alder Lancaster
[0:38] » present.
>> Alder Mat
[0:40] » present.
>> Alder Wilson
[0:42] » present. We have a
changes to the agenda.
[0:50] All right. Before we get started, I
wanted to uh just kind of explain a
[0:54] couple things because I know that people
that aren't involved with politics don't
[0:58] understand why we do some of the things
that we do. So, I thought it would just
[1:01] be easy to clarify and, you know, say
the citizen input is not a public forum.
[1:07] It's not where we have questions and
answer sessions. It's just a a a point
[1:12] where they can where a citizen can take
a couple minutes to give us your ideas,
[1:16] your thoughts, your concerns, and that
you can't really you can't legally make
[1:20] that a public forum as far as Q&A
sessions and debates. Those things
[1:26] should happen beforehand before meeting
is when [clears throat] we should be
[1:29] having those conversations. So, I just
didn't want everyone to think cuz I know
[1:33] we had a meeting recently where some
people just assumed we were ignoring
[1:37] them because we weren't answering.
there's a reason we weren't. Um, and
[1:43] also for those of you that maybe have
sent all the aldermen an email and you
[1:49] include all the alderman and they don't
respond, it's not because we're ignoring
[1:53] you. It's because
that would be conducting public a public
[1:59] meeting without the agenda
notification. [clears throat] Paul can
[2:04] probably explain it a lot better than I
can. So, what I would suggest is since
[2:08] you already have everyone's email is
just um email everybody individually and
[2:14] say, "Hey, Troy, what do you think about
block statements or whatever it is you
[2:18] might want to talk about?" So, I just
wanted to kind of explain a couple
[2:21] things so people can think the ultimate
ignoring them. So, and after the meeting
[2:28] tonight, if you want to stick around and
talk about whatever, I'll be here. You
[2:33] can talk about whatever you want to. So,
All right,
[2:38] we'll get to moving then.
Consent agenda.
[2:44] » Oh, I'm sorry. Take a roll, have we?
[2:50] » All right.
[2:56] [laughter]
>> I have a first. I have a second. All in
[2:59] favor?
>> Any opposed?
[3:03] The agenda's passed.
>> All right. Item number four, citizen
[3:06] input.
[3:10] » I'm thinking about I'm thinking about
two different things. Consent agenda.
[3:12] Any questions on it?
[3:17] » I'll make a motion. We approve the
consent agenda as written.
[3:20] » We have a first. I have a second. All in
favor? I. Any opposed? The consent
[3:26] agenda.
>> All right. Now the
[3:30] citizen input. If anybody would like to
step forward and talk, feel free to do
[3:35] so. Just give us your name and your
address. And you got a couple minutes to
[3:39] tell what's on your mind. My name is Pam
Long. I live on Osage Street. Um myself
[3:44] and a few neighbors were here a few
months back about the traffic on Osage.
[3:49] I just want to thank you all personally
for um listening, for responding. We
[3:56] have I've seen actions today. They've
changed stop signs. I talked to one of
[4:01] the public works directors there.
There's changes that's going to happen
[4:04] with no sage and I personally thank each
of you um for helping get us the traffic
[4:11] slow down.
>> Well, thank you. Appreciate the positive
[4:14] input.
>> Yeah. Thank you.
[4:15] » All right.
[4:18] Anyone else?
Yes, sir.
[4:26] » You don't have to run. [laughter]
You look like you do enough of that
[4:29] already.
>> [clears throat]
[4:31] » Hello. My name is uh my name is Ian
Powers. I live over on Canterbury Lane
[4:36] right here in town. Um I made it a point
to come out this evening to do the exact
[4:41] same thing that uh the last lady was up
here to do, which is to thank um for
[4:46] listening to the people and the concerns
that we had putting up with what was the
[4:51] last world alderman's meeting. Um I
don't think that we have the turnout we
[4:56] would have had um if we hadn't heard
something earlier. um which I thank you
[5:01] for for taking into consideration um not
only you but the chief and the
[5:05] department um for you guys particularly.
I think that
[5:11] what was asked of you might have been
considered hard from a a value
[5:15] standpoint
but I thank you for considering it
[5:19] nonetheless and choosing the course of
action that you did. Um, I came in here
[5:24] last time and I said we all support you
and I fully trust you and I fully trust
[5:28] our police. This confirms and supports
that. Um, I want to just say that before
[5:35] I step off here and give you back the
time. I just want to say that I did
[5:40] outline who the financial supporters at
Flock. I went into some very, very
[5:45] in-depth details. [clears throat] You
can find them in the citizens group on
[5:48] Facebook. Okay, I'm not going to bring
that up, but I am going to say all of
[5:53] these technologies um there isn't a lot
of oversight. There isn't a lot of
[5:58] protections for data citizens. And a lot
of these technologies are being
[6:02] financially supported by people who do
not share traditional values that
[6:06] everyone in this room shares. My only
request is going forward any kind of
[6:11] surveillance systems, any kind of
digital tools that aid you in policing,
[6:17] please do the due diligence and look at
who's funding these things because I can
[6:21] assure you a lot of the people in
Silicon Valley do not share our
[6:25] interests and our values. The only thing
they want is our money and they want
[6:29] access to the systems of uh of
controlling populations. So, thank you.
[6:35] Do the research and continue being the
uh the that I know you are. Thank you.
[6:39] » Thank you. [applause and laughter]
[6:45] Anyone else?
Yes, ma'am.
[6:52] » Hi, my name is Dion. I live three and I
live in Bullard about 10 years the
[6:59] district. I moved here to the city about
a year ago. And I just want to say thank
[7:03] you to all of you in advance for the
flock vote and thank you for changing
[7:08] your stance on flock. Like they've said,
we thought that it would be a very
[7:13] different day today that we have and now
that we can say thank you and stand up
[7:16] here. Um
this past month, I think I've seen more
[7:22] involvement in the city government with
the block and I think a lot of other
[7:25] people are trying to get more involved.
And so I want to use my time here today
[7:30] to just kind of give you some ideas that
I have maybe a way we could get this
[7:35] momentum to keep going and keep getting
some more support for you guys and more
[7:40] citizen uh support for city government.
So, um,
[7:47] uh, some of my thoughts are maybe you
could have dinner with the alderman,
[7:51] maybe like one or two. I know you can't
leave groups bigger than that. Um, come
[7:56] here at like 5:00 before, you know,
you're already supposed to be here, so
[8:00] you don't have to make another, uh, stop
in your week. Um, and then just invite
[8:04] people here. Maybe we all bring our
dinner and we we have it catered in. Um,
[8:09] and just let us get to know you and
maybe less formal, right? and we can get
[8:14] to know you on a more personal level.
Um, we feel like friends and um, one
[8:20] other thing I'd like to suggest is some
more polls on your Facebook. So, I think
[8:24] even maybe with this block um, situation
that we had, if you would have posted on
[8:31] your Facebook like, hey, how do you guys
view block? Then the citizens might not
[8:36] have felt like they had to email all of
you individually. their voice could have
[8:39] been heard by just answering yes or no
from your Facebook page.
[8:44] Um, I do think we need a better way to
contact you than via email. Um, I know
[8:51] at least Carol I know your email is not
working for you.
[8:55] » Um,
I think there was one other is not
[8:59] working. So, if we're trying to give you
guys input and we don't have a way to
[9:02] email you, then I don't know another way
to contact you. Um, and actually you
[9:08] were talking about we need to email them
individually. Um, maybe make that note
[9:13] there on the page where we we find their
emails because I think I went to the
[9:18] page to find emails. [clears throat] So,
if it says like you must email them
[9:22] individually, that might be the spot.
Um,
[9:28] and then something else I've learned as
I've gotten involved is that we have a
[9:32] lot of talented people at Willard.
Um, of course that's obvious, but as you
[9:38] guys start having different issues that
you want to address in the year, maybe
[9:43] putting together like small committees
or like small groups of people that can
[9:47] do the research for you and people that
are like interested in it, but they'll
[9:51] go above and beyond and find
you don't have to spend your individual
[9:56] time researching it.
And um the last question I did have um
[10:02] because when I was doing some of the
research I I know that we can't
[10:06] deliberate with the board of alderments
but I my understanding was you can still
[10:11] answer a yes and no question. So my
question was um where in the the
[10:17] sunshine hall did you see that you can't
answer like simple questions?
[10:32] lawyer's advice.
>> Wait, what? Oh, okay. So, it's not a
[10:36] specific
during public input, but you know,
[10:40] before the meeting. I mean, I do before
the meeting or it's just a yes or no
[10:46] question. Just hit us up and say, "Hey,
here's my question."
[10:50] » Okay. So, it's not a specific law. It's
just your opinion of what they should
[10:54] do.
[10:56] lawyers have
opinions about what the different
[11:01] interpretations of what laws say and do.
So
[11:04] » if our lawyer says this is what I'm
suggesting, then that's what we'll do.
[11:09] » I don't want to inhibit anybody, you
know, from
[11:12] » asking questions, you know, before
after.
[11:17] » Okay. Thank you guys for your input.
Thank you for um listening to that.
[11:21] » Thank you.
>> [applause]
[11:25] » Anyone else?
[11:32] » Hopefully my voice doesn't shake this
time. Hi, I'm Angela. I live on Hughes
[11:37] Road. I'm fairly new to Willard and
[clears throat] I just wanted to come up
[11:40] and piggyback off what Dion was saying
about I think this is a this block
[11:44] business is a great opportunity in
Willard to turn the page and move
[11:50] forward as a community. I know there's
been some division and kind of some
[11:53] chaos in the history of Willard and I
don't think people in Willard are uh
[11:59] apathetic. I think they're a little
scared to get involved because there has
[12:02] been a history of some drama and I think
most people have enough of that in their
[12:07] lives and just I think at the end of the
day we all want to feel a part of the
[12:11] community, feel connected to our
neighbors and feel safe. And the enemy
[12:15] isn't in this room. It's it's not you
know we we all want the same things for
[12:20] our family whether it be the kids or
dogs.
[12:23] Um but I just wanted to come up and say
thank you for your time. Thank you for
[12:29] changing your mind. We appreciate it.
And like I said I just think this is a
[12:33] great opportunity because Willard has so
much potential and right now we get to
[12:38] decide what Willard looks like moving
forward. a strong infrastructure,
[12:42] responsible growth, but we have to like
loosen some control and let people be
[12:47] heard and let that happen. And I think
we could use this as opportunity to make
[12:53] that happen.
>> Thank you so much.
[12:55] » Thank you.
[applause]
[13:00] » Anybody else?
[13:05] » Good evening. My name is Tyler
41. I don't think I can add anything
[13:12] else that no one has said this evening
already, but because I feel I may have
[13:17] been a proverbial thorn in some of your
sides over the last two months, I felt I
[13:21] would be remiss to also not address you
publicly at the meeting and say thank
[13:27] you for listening to our concerns. Thank
you for fielding Sunshine requests.
[13:33] Thank you for being gracious. Um, and
specifically those of you who reached
[13:38] out to me um, and interacted with me
that way. I appreciate it a lot. I know
[13:42] a lot of us appreciate your time that
you with us and not just meeting with
[13:47] us, but meeting with the rest of the
community as well to see what the
[13:53] overall
was. So,
[14:00] Anybody
else?
[14:08] » Hello, my name is Rebecca. Um, I'm a
resident of Springfield. I've got
[14:12] students in the Willer community, been a
member of the community for my whole
[14:16] life. I just want to reiterate what the
others have said tonight. Thank you guys
[14:20] for listening. Thank you, Chief, for for
hearing the people.
[14:25] that speaks a lot [laughter] to your
character to be able to say, "Hey, maybe
[14:28] this wasn't the right choice for the
community. Let's do something
[14:31] different." And I I appreciate that
tremendously from you. I I appreciate
[14:36] the board taking the time to to listen
to everybody and and I hope that in the
[14:42] future if there are more conversations
about other sources of surveillance like
[14:47] flock under a different name that you
all will remember what the community has
[14:51] said and how we feel [clears throat]
about this and and just remember that in
[14:55] future conversations and just really
thank you guys. I appreciate you.
[15:02] [applause] Anybody
else?
[15:08] » All right. I just want to say on the
record that I think it's a testament to
[15:11] the people that all the groups that I
met with personally and the individuals
[15:16] I've met with, all those meetings are
always very respectful,
[15:22] very professional. So
I know several of the alderman have sat
[15:26] in on some of those meetings too and
they echoed the same thing. So we just
[15:31] want to thank everybody for their
efforts involved. So thank you.
[15:37] » All right, I'll hold this as an input
session and we'll move to item number
[15:42] five.
[15:46] Go ahead.
>> Okay, so so I met with uh
[15:52] Haley and
the girls, [snorts] the guy on the
[15:57] chief,
>> Brandon. Yeah. And uh and we had a great
[16:02] conversation, too. And uh I told him
that I was going to recommend
[16:09] I respected your opinion, but my gosh,
man, as a police agency who's ripped the
[16:16] reward of of solvent crime using law,
it's like
[16:22] I had to recommend it.
And uh so to go to go back in the
[16:28] beginning we we presented this to the
board uh two and a half years ago they
[16:32] listened and they inquired but in the
end they said show me the money. So last
[16:40] year when we got the Blue Shield grant,
it's like, well, we're showering the
[16:43] money. And so it was like, let's do this
like like Springfield and like Ozark and
[16:49] like Nixon Republic and Ashro,
you know,
[16:54] and so I had no idea
that it would come with all this uh
[17:03] hostility.
I mean, I was shocked. In fact, some of
[17:06] it happened while I was away in
recovery. It was like, man, I hope
[17:11] Shannon takes care of all this before I
get back,
[17:15] you know.
So, but uh that's not what happened. So,
[17:21] [clears throat]
so when it came down to it,
[17:25] I felt like I I had to hear from the
people that voted for the law
[17:30] enforcement sales tax. And so, I told
you what my plan was. And I remember
[17:34] hearing you guys say, "That's fair." You
remember that?
[17:41] Not specifically, but I do. Uh, that's
fair. That's fair. And so I went to
[17:49] work, man. And uh, I discovered that of
the 596
[17:56] people that I sent texts out to, only
18% of them cared enough to give me any
[18:02] kind of a the response, but 46 of them
said yes, let's do this.
[18:10] And 65 of them said no. Some of them
said,
[18:14] well, they were more emphatic about it.
[laughter] Okay. And uh so I had my
[18:21] answer on Friday, last Friday. It's
like, okay. So I
[18:26] called the mayor and told him what it
was. He goes, well,
[18:32] probably better you know, get a get a
little pulse from the board. Are they
[18:36] going to support your recommendation
that says yes, let's go forward? And you
[18:42] know what I found out is that I didn't
have the support from the citizens,
[18:49] the business community,
nobody but the cops love this program.
[18:54] And so it didn't make sense to uh you
know, I mean,
[19:01] I I recognize futility when I see it
eventually, you know, and so um so I
[19:08] changed my recommendation and uh we put
that out by way of press release and uh
[19:14] but I never ever ever intended for this
to be anything that was uh considered to
[19:20] be trumping on people's rights or
invading people's privacy. I just
[19:25] intended for it to be a wonderful tool
that would help us get lead uh
[19:31] information in and crime investigations
and and it did do that, but uh it it
[19:37] wasn't perfect. So anyway, that's why um
why I decided to make the recommendation
[19:43] and and I so my recommendation to the
board officially on this date and time
[19:48] is that we stop uh the uh the program
and uh you know some would say you mean
[19:55] in its tracks right here right now.
Well, I'm not saying that,
[20:02] but I think the board would have to
decide whether we run the contract on
[20:07] out through October
or do we shut her down right now.
[20:14] That's your call.
I'm indifferent to the subject at this
[20:18] point.
[20:21] Questions or comments of me?
[20:28] I have one question to um her
conversation and I don't know if you
[20:33] know this or who just the contract but
the we don't necessarily know if it's a
[20:39] citizen of ashro but anyway Ashbro's
swap camera has been destroyed or
[20:45] damaged
>> um and you and I have talked about the
[20:49] possibility of if our cameras are
damaged while we are in contract if we
[20:54] are required to pay for the repairs and
reinstatement of those cameras. And I
[21:00] think that that needs to be something
that we need to know because we might
[21:05] have some citizens who think they're
going to go help us stop this.
[21:10] » That's a great question, Joyce.
[21:15] » No, no. And I am opposed to spending one
extra penny on this on this subject.
[21:21] » Good. Yeah. And so, so I with that in
mind and let me say publicly on uh
[21:29] record that if you damage one of these
cameras and we catch it and on some of
[21:35] those cameras we do have trails. Uh so
if we catch you then then that's a
[21:41] felony. Now I'm not suggesting that
there's anybody in this room that would
[21:45] have the audacity to do such a thing but
one of our cameras has been destroyed.
[21:51] » Yeah. So, um, so, uh, I'm for shutting
that down immediately. And how would you
[21:58] do that? Well, we probably want to go
ahead and close the contract right now.
[22:05] And, um, I think that we could probably,
they don't want us to take those cameras
[22:10] down, but we could take them down
without damaging.
[22:15] » [applause]
>> we stored them um in the police
[22:19] department and secured them in the
police department. And so, as a common
[22:24] sense suggestion, um uh I've talked
about this with public works, uh I can I
[22:31] can help with the with the project, but
probably the sooner we do that, the
[22:37] better.
>> YES.
[22:41] [applause]
>> Thank you.
[22:46] All right.
[snorts] So, for this for the board, I'd
[22:52] like to have a vote to not renew the
contract just because of the community
[22:57] impact.
[laughter]
[23:01] » I'll make the motion that we terminate
the contract immediately.
[23:05] » Second.
>> First, I have a second. Author Billy,
[23:09] » yes.
>> Author Gil,
[23:10] » yes.
>> Author Keane,
[23:11] » yes. Lancaster.
>> Yes.
[23:14] » Matson,
>> yes.
[23:15] » Wilson,
[23:21] [applause]
[23:25] » all right. At number six, we have the uh
project manager report sewage system.
[23:30] Steve is right here.
All right. [laughter]
[23:40] » [clears throat]
>> Try speaking
[23:43] on the 94 lift station. Improvements of
upgrade force made replacement.
[23:51] Young general contracted installed all
the 18 in high density poly pipeline
[23:57] over road. The tie end to Springfield's
system is compromised by a deteriorated
[24:06] manhole at that tie-in point. We did not
know this. This was discovered when the
[24:12] contractor exposed the manhole
attempting to pour through the site.
[24:18] Uh city of Springfield will replace this
manhole at their expense.
[24:24] So does not add cost to our project.
U they're working on cleanup on road
[24:33] electrical and mechanical modifications
of the blip station upgrade are
[24:38] continuing.
And last time I mentioned a problem with
[24:44] the delivery of four 14in plug valves
that we thought would be here now. got
[24:52] notification from the contractor did
from the supplier they would not be here
[24:59] until probably January.
So we applied for a dimminimous waiver
[25:06] under the American iron steel
regulations
[25:10] and the values of these valves
agree with EPA meet the diminishment
[25:17] standard
and therefore the contractor to order
[25:22] the replacements
that are not 100% American,
[25:27] but they're ones on board. We're looking
at [snorts]
[25:30] 6 to 8 weeks. So, we're looking at
before the ending,
[25:37] which is reasonable.
[25:40] Contractors got work to do, clean up,
they can continue on with the lift
[25:47] station upgrade
and they can stage and fuse probably
[25:52] five until [clears throat] we get these
val.
[26:00] So, we're a little behind, but moving
forward.
[26:06] Um, we've [clears throat] submitted
partial payment request number nine to
[26:10] EPA,
$256,000.
[26:16] Um,
issues concerning
[26:20] repressed draws arose to EPA last week.
They were resolved when an error was
[26:27] pointed out EPA's
record keep
[26:33] them a lot of confusion
took a few phone calls on the Zoom
[26:39] meeting screwed it up.
So, we're ready to submit request number
[26:45] 10 to the EPA. I'll do that later this
week.
[26:51] with the meadows [snorts] gravity trucks
bridge relation sewer down
[26:58] meadows area.
The contractor has completed all work
[27:03] the gravity man
installation except for final touchup of
[27:09] the seating that's occur later this
fall.

[28:13] » All right. Looks like item number seven.
Public hearing for the general levy any
[28:17] position of annual tax for general
municipal purposes for the year 2027.
[28:25] I'm going to officially open
[28:29] the public hearing portion.
Gina or Steve or either one of you guys
[28:35] want to take this
kind explain
[28:39] » Gina you got stuff.
[28:43] » So these numbers come from the Green
County Assessor's Office and from the
[28:49] state auditor.
Um,
[28:52] we have a choice to add on. We did not.
So, this is just based on I don't have
[28:59] it in front of where everybody can see
it, but thank you. This is just based on
[29:04] the assessed valuations that we pay in
property taxes. So, that's all I've got
[29:10] on. If you have any questions, I try to
answer them.
[29:14] » It's a law mandate that we do this every
year.
[29:19] give the public an opportunity to talk
about it.
[29:23] » Mayor, let me make a comment for a
minute.
[29:25] » Sure.
[29:29] » Tax le we're talking about right now for
public hearing. [clears throat]
[29:34] Those less were set years and years ago
by ordinance
[29:39] and the Hancock amendment came became
part of the Missouri Constitution.
[29:45] It requires that cities cannot enjoy a
windfall
[29:50] to an elevation of assessed property
values.
[29:54] So if you the assessor decides to double
the values
[30:00] under Hancock, you cannot double your
you can count new construction. new
[30:08] construction very valid and that shows
uh in that notice of [clears throat] new
[30:14] construction of 3.1 million
that goes into the formula and you see
[30:21] the the notice of the projected
uh current revenue
[30:27] and against the
past revenue
[30:35] mats and the handcuff prof
[30:42] $16,000
out of 360,000.
[30:48] That by no means is a windfall, but you
have to
[30:53] keep up with inflation the best you can.
Really, it's designed for the public
[31:01] hearing.
It's to ensure that the public The city
[31:06] is not enjoying
a windfall due to an inflated
[31:13] assessment values [snorts] which the
math here in this sheet
[31:19] shows you here now. So like Gina said
she gets numbers from the county
[31:25] assessor.
The state auditor gets involved with a
[31:30] long checklist. The packet is kind of
fill in blank.
[31:35] But
approval of the tax leer
[31:46] to take it to the half limit so you
don't suffer financial loss.
[31:54] That's all I got.
>> Okay. Thank you.
[31:58] » Does anybody have anything?
[32:02] um was reading the numbers on the tax
deal. And so I did notice that the taxes
[32:10] on the citizens of Willard property
owners went up,
[32:18] but
business owners, developers, commercial
[32:24] developers
down.
[32:28] Um, I'm hoping that maybe the board I
understand you guys said the state,
[32:34] you know, recommended these numbers, but
they're recommendations. They're by no
[32:38] means law. Um,
as the man said, you know, no windfall,
[32:44] keep up with inflation and all this
stuff. Um, I would like you guys to keep
[32:49] in mind that it it is the citizens who
pays the taxes. And so, um, as a
[32:55] taxpayer myself in the city of Lord, um,
I'm hoping that you guys would change
[33:00] those numbers because there are a lot of
developers I've noticed coming to. You
[33:07] would change those numbers to benefit
your citizens
[33:11] over
other entities.
[33:18] Anybody else?
[33:24] What was your name?
>> I gave it last time. It's on the record.
[33:29] » All right. See nobody else. I'll close

[38:47] an ordinance at the city of Willard,
Missouri to establish a procedure to
[38:52] disclose potential conflicts of interest
and subential
[38:56] interest for certain officials.
[39:01] » I
make an [clears throat] or pass the
[39:05] ordinance as read. Didn't get my words
out. [laughter] Sorry. [snorts]
[39:10] Just FYI, the reason you pass this up by
annually is so that you can use the
[39:15] short form when people are filing and it
limits it from everybody um
[39:22] automatically filing. So it allows for
the MAC filings to be in a more limited
[39:27] manner and they do it by annually I
believe so that you all are reminded of
[39:31] it not making changes.
[39:37] » We have a motion. I I second.
>> I have a first. I have a second. Alder
[39:42] Billyard.

>> An ordinance for the city of Wilder,
[40:02] Missouri to reestablish a procedure to

[40:06] and substantial interest for certain.

[40:19] » Father Lancaster.
>> Matson. Yes.
[40:28] » [laughter]
[40:36] » An ordinance of the board of elers of
the city of Missouri authorizing the
[40:40] mayor to enter into an agreement with
Seer of Missouri LLC for lateral ceiling
[40:46] services.
>> Is this you?
[40:51] » It's right.
[40:55] do the heavy lift.
>> What's that?
[40:57] » They're going to make you do the heavy
lift.
[40:59] » Yeah.
>> Well, as you know from the last
[41:02] presentation I put on a PowerPoint, we
had a lot of ini issues.
[41:06] We have a lot of INI issues in the city,
but we focused all of our attention on
[41:11] Bella Park in the Meadows. Okay. So, we
completed all the camera work,
[41:17] everything, the maps. We know all the
problems that we have out there. I've
[41:21] also recently completed all the smoke
testing out there. So, I feel we've got
[41:27] about 98% of all the problems mapped.
So, Trevor and myself, we met with the
[41:34] contractor to start injecting some of
these manholes, routing some of these
[41:38] lines and start getting a handle on some
of this ini. So, we met with them. They
[41:44] can tackle all of the issues we have.
And the reason we went for this is we
[41:50] need to encompass which is called
curtain routing. We need to get all
[41:55] these manholes and lines sealed up. Um
and I think I laid out in my
[42:00] presentation. This price is not actually
bad for how much we're actually paying
[42:06] for this waste water.
So, I think it's a really good
[42:11] opportunity for us to follow through and
actually start fixing some of these
[42:15] issues in the system.
>> And the price was 60 something,000
[42:20] » 73,000
and change.
[42:23] » So, just so you guys know, I talked to
Trevor about this um last week and it's
[42:28] in his budget. He had money already
budget, but considering the price um I
[42:34] wanted it, you know, just on record so
that you guys knew knew about it. plus
[42:39] for information purposes to show that
you know we're throwing a serious chunk
[42:44] of change at the meadows and at our
water system and infrastructure in
[42:51] general.
>> So I wanted on the record that
[42:55] public works are
doing the best they can and it
[43:03] » is
already So, we're not for repairs.
[43:11] So,
>> so we're really not asking for anything
[43:13] extra. I just wanted it on record to
show the people that contrary to what
[43:17] some say we're doing.
>> Also addressing what we've got in the
[43:21] » an audit issue.
>> Okay.
[43:22] » Yeah. There are some other things we're
doing with meters also that are
[43:26] addressing the water the missing water
issue.
[43:30] » But actually, it's really good because
through last presentation we were
[43:33] looking at, you know, doing nothing cost
us about $8,000 a year. So the payback
[43:40] on this is actually less than a year and
in perpetuity you're actually paying
[43:44] back a lot more. So I think it's a
pretty good deal. We finally get to see
[43:50] some of our hard work come to fruition.
[44:00] [clears throat]
>> I have first. I have a second. Father
[44:03] Billy.

[44:32] » Al, yes. Lancaster
Matson. Yes. Father.
[44:41] » All right. Item number nine. Anything on
new business?
[44:51] » Anything on unfinished business?
>> Where we at on recycle?
[44:57] » Where are we on
[45:01] » right now? Well, they've been keeping it
cleaned up and it's been
[45:05] I got the first bill from GFL and it was
$2,500
[45:09] for the month of July, but I'm still
trying to find out if that was one
[45:13] container or both containers.
But Republic came in about the same. So,
[45:18] if you guys want to keep it, it's going
to be probably about $50,000 a year.
[45:23] What was that?
>> 30.
[45:31] » But it's a free service that we give to
the community and
[45:35] it's more than what we thought it was
going to be because we need two
[45:38] containers.
[45:42] It's up to you guys what you want to do.
>> You guys want to put on the agenda for
[45:44] next meeting to discuss and vote on?
>> Okay.
[45:54] went by there yesterday and it was
[46:02] » all right
>> if we can
[46:05] » hold
[46:09] [laughter]
>> other than
[46:12] do we I guess I'm asking do we need two
containers that was not the original bid
[46:18] but we got to because they were filling
up the things and not breaking things
[46:22] down. If I understood correctly,
>> I went out I went out Friday and it was
[46:28] a container was full and half the other
container was full. So I did not go out
[46:34] this morning because by the time I got
out of town it was already taken out. So
[46:39] » first day of school.
>> Yeah.
[46:42] » So I don't really know. Like I said,
Friday it was a container and a half or
[46:47] Thursday because they picked up Friday
it was a container and a half. So
[46:52] if we go down to one container, then
people would have to hold that half a
[46:56] container until the weekend. But
>> and the weekend was when everybody shows
[47:02] up.
>> Exactly.
[47:03] » Everything.
>> And that was on a Thursday.
[47:09] » Question. Are you noticing if things are
being broken down? And if not, is that
[47:13] why they're filling up?
The boxes have been being broke down
[47:18] compared to what they were before since
we've made signs and put out public
[47:23] knowledge that it's going to go away if
you don't take care of it. It has been
[47:27] treated better. It's been clean. It has
the boxes have been broken down. Trash
[47:31] cans are still full every week with
trash sitting on the ground, but it's
[47:35] not everywhere.
I don't know if someone's using it for
[47:39] their personal trash or what, but
it is looking better. It is being kept
[47:46] pretty clean.
[47:51] » Okay, we'll put on the agenda for the
next meeting and go over the nuts and
[47:55] bolts and the cost what we want to do.
Never let you go.
[48:07] » Um, okay. I just want to also just
encourage that we keep putting the uh
[48:12] meetings on our page.
>> If I can spell it.
[48:16] » You can spell right.
[laughter]
[48:20] » Point that out.
>> That would be great.
[48:24] [laughter]
[48:28] » Hey, it shows we're not using a There
you go.
[48:32] [laughter]
>> All right.
[48:34] » I'll make a motion that we open or close
