[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.

[27:13] We're going to hold 1% retain the contract come back make sure the

[27:19] grass is growing

[27:23] makeup basic and restorations complete the connection of the meadows

[27:28] originalization truck service airport station is now alive.

[27:34] So that one 99% done just waiting to make sure the

[27:40] grass is planted gets broken. I think the retain for the hole on that

[27:47] job about $12,000.

[27:51] So that's the status of both of those at this point.

[28:05] Thank you.

[28:10] [clears throat]

[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 the public hearing.

[36:03] so you get no

[36:09] Well, let's just we'll take a vote on this and see if there's another pass.

[36:14] » I'll second the postponement. >> We got a second postpone.

[38:27] can do 5 or 7. >> 530.

[38:30] » 530. >> 530. 530.

[38:33] » I got 3 to 530 on this. Perfect. 530 seems to be it. Okay. Make that happen.

[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. >> Yes.

[40:02] Missouri to reestablish a procedure to disclose potential conflict of interest

[40:06] and substantial interest for certain.

[40:13] [laughter] >> I have a first. I have a second. A

[40:16] billier. >> Yes.

[40:16] » Author Hill. >> Yes.

[40:17] » Author. >> Yes.

[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. >> Yes.

[44:04] » Father Hill. >> Yes. Keane,

[44:06] » yes. >> Lancaster,

[44:21] Missouri LLC for >> I'll make a motion. We approve the

[44:31] » yes. >> Alder Hill, yes.

[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 the

[48:38] open session and open the closed session pursuant to RSMO section 610.021 021
