That was 35 00:04:56,41 --> 00:05:02,53 a fun. Look at details all set that aside going to make good evening Mr Mayor 36 00:05:02,54 --> 00:05:08,50 members of the city council. This evening we have two items and two resolutions but 37 00:05:08,51 --> 00:05:13,71 they are intertwined because in order to sell the bonds the tax increment financing 38 00:05:13,72 --> 00:05:15,07 distrait is 39 00:05:15,08 --> 00:05:18,69 a part of the financing source for that and so that would also have to be approved 40 00:05:18,70 --> 00:05:23,76 in tandem so that's why they're listed together. As such they are what I thought 41 00:05:23,77 --> 00:05:27,74 I'd do is go through the recommendation for the issuance of the bonds first and 42 00:05:27,75 --> 00:05:30,03 then the other item is to approve 43 00:05:30,07 --> 00:05:33,60 a public hearing on September twelfth as you mentioned and to talk 44 00:05:33,61 --> 00:05:38,23 a little bit about the tax and current financing component in more detail. And she 45 00:05:38,24 --> 00:05:42,90 let me just start with that OK So the first item is the document that looks like 46 00:05:42,91 --> 00:05:48,35 this that was just part of the agenda. And it asked the city council to set the 47 00:05:48,36 --> 00:05:51,71 sale for four million four hundred thirty five thousand dollars or general 48 00:05:51,78 --> 00:05:56,56 obligation bonds and there are three components to it first is 49 00:05:56,57 --> 00:06:02,85 a. Tax increment financing bond and that is to finance the street reconstruction in 50 00:06:03,51 --> 00:06:08,44 commerce and St John's I'm sorry for the commerce industrial park in Michigan road 51 00:06:08,48 --> 00:06:14,56 is part of the. Industrial Park and that part is related to the tip. The second 52 00:06:14,57 --> 00:06:18,71 item is the street reconstruction project that's from Illinois overlay and the 53 00:06:18,72 --> 00:06:24,06 third component is to refinance an outstanding bond issue for savings we've 54 00:06:24,07 --> 00:06:27,75 combined them all into one bond issue because it's sizeable it'll get more 55 00:06:27,76 --> 00:06:32,19 attention in the market and it'll save issuance cost by doing them all as one issue 56 00:06:32,20 --> 00:06:39,04 the discount under one umbrella the the sale would occur on September 57 00:06:39,05 --> 00:06:43,16 sixth at ten thirty in the morning in our offices and we would bring the results 58 00:06:43,17 --> 00:06:46,91 that afternoon for approval at the City Council meeting at five thirty that day. 59 00:06:48,47 --> 00:06:50,83 The bonds would be rated by S. And P. 60 00:06:51,79 --> 00:06:58,51 Again and. The the portions of it of the four point four thirty 61 00:06:58,87 --> 00:07:03,50 per million four hundred thirty five thousand two point nine million is for the 62 00:07:03,51 --> 00:07:09,07 Industrial Park Project actually costs five point one million dollars but two 63 00:07:09,08 --> 00:07:11,15 million of it will be paid by 64 00:07:11,16 --> 00:07:16,38 a deed grant so you're not having to bond for that portion or you city funds and 65 00:07:16,39 --> 00:07:18,26 also Apprentice funds from the M.M.U. 66 00:07:18,27 --> 00:07:25,11 Of about three hundred seven thousand dollars are used. And that if portion of that 67 00:07:25,16 --> 00:07:30,17 the repayment. The utility pays five hundred thousand dollars 68 00:07:30,18 --> 00:07:34,34 a year towards projects such as easy as this one and it was approved that they 69 00:07:34,35 --> 00:07:38,62 would do so so in the first few years you're getting five hundred thousand dollars 70 00:07:38,66 --> 00:07:42,23 a couple years of that and then the remaining two hundred six hundred sixty seven 71 00:07:42,24 --> 00:07:47,29 thousand dollars to pay off their share of the chunk of it when one million two 72 00:07:47,30 --> 00:07:50,91 hundred sixty seven thousand dollars of debt service will be paid by the M.M.U. 73 00:07:50,91 --> 00:07:54,76 . The to forever new generated and we'll talk about 74 00:07:54,77 --> 00:07:58,70 a little bit about what the TIFF is and how that's generated would pay the 75 00:07:58,71 --> 00:08:02,45 remaining amount of the total debt service of three point five billion that's 76 00:08:02,57 --> 00:08:08,70 principal and interest. On the street reconstruction money the mill and overlay 77 00:08:08,71 --> 00:08:12,58 that's a three hundred sixty thousand dollars portion the City Council held 78 00:08:12,62 --> 00:08:17,17 a street reconstruction here. Being on that approved unanimously and so that part 79 00:08:17,18 --> 00:08:20,83 already has the authorization to move ahead and the last item is 80 00:08:20,84 --> 00:08:22,32 a two thousand and six C. 81 00:08:23,02 --> 00:08:27,29 And in that we have projections it's one of those 82 00:08:27,30 --> 00:08:31,61 a by itself probably wouldn't bring to you to go forward in get the savings just 83 00:08:31,62 --> 00:08:32,63 for that issue alone it's 84 00:08:32,64 --> 00:08:36,91 a one million one hundred forty five thousand dollars bond issue. And it would save 85 00:08:36,92 --> 00:08:38,00 about twenty thousand 86 00:08:38,01 --> 00:08:43,75 a year for the next three four years present value that's about forty thousand but 87 00:08:43,76 --> 00:08:46,68 as long as you're doing the other bond issue to add in another column and grab the 88 00:08:46,69 --> 00:08:52,38 savings the finest writer thought that made sense and so that was pre That is all 89 00:08:52,39 --> 00:08:57,90 packaged in here so those are the components of the bond issue is anybody have any 90 00:08:57,91 --> 00:09:03,40 question on the bandage itself. But. No way should. 91 00:09:09,68 --> 00:09:16,28 Then I move into the the component of the tax encourage financing bond 92 00:09:16,37 --> 00:09:22,78 piece that would actually be repaid with tax increment and this plan has been 93 00:09:22,79 --> 00:09:26,46 around. Many years it's been modified you have 94 00:09:26,47 --> 00:09:31,30 a project area and within the project area there are several tipped districts and 95 00:09:31,31 --> 00:09:38,31 what this plan is proposing is developing to district. Dash fourteen which 96 00:09:38,32 --> 00:09:42,13 is one of many to districts within the project area that you've developed I think 97 00:09:42,14 --> 00:09:46,31 were down I think we recounted at the Ways and Means Committee you don't have 98 00:09:46,32 --> 00:09:49,82 fourteen districts many of them have gone away are now into about six six now. 99 00:09:51,84 --> 00:09:57,39 Prior to this one coming on line which are the plan approved the plan Well just 100 00:09:57,40 --> 00:09:57,60 talk 101 00:09:57,61 --> 00:10:01,84 a little bit about how to WHERE IS THAT WHEN IT development is occurring in the community 102 00:10:01,85 --> 00:10:05,53 you have an opportunity to bring in in this case 103 00:10:05,54 --> 00:10:11,98 a proposal from to look at. Manufacturing type commercial industrial addition to 104 00:10:11,99 --> 00:10:17,03 the community you have an opportunity to provide an incentive and communities can 105 00:10:17,04 --> 00:10:21,35 do that and developers look for that they will look from community to community 106 00:10:22,16 --> 00:10:24,39 maybe things in Minnesota maybe other states they look for 107 00:10:24,40 --> 00:10:28,23 a community that's friendly to development and they look for what does it cost them 108 00:10:28,24 --> 00:10:33,78 out of pocket and what kinds of development tools can you use and the range is you 109 00:10:33,79 --> 00:10:39,45 know all over there are many things you can do in this case from our office worked 110 00:10:39,46 --> 00:10:44,19 with Cal brink and the developer and they felt that the property itself along with 111 00:10:44,41 --> 00:10:48,30 council qualified for a tax increment financing district you've done 112 00:10:48,31 --> 00:10:52,15 a basement before which is another economic development tool that's not as 113 00:10:52,16 --> 00:10:57,44 stringent but this actually qualified for an eight year tax and permit financing 114 00:10:57,45 --> 00:11:02,09 district and what that means is the incentive to the developer is there's 115 00:11:02,10 --> 00:11:06,91 a base value on the property that they're going to be. Taxing commit financing to 116 00:11:06,92 --> 00:11:11,61 streamline dash fourteen today and what they're projecting is going to happen 117 00:11:11,62 --> 00:11:17,04 because of this development the increased tax base is available to be captured it's 118 00:11:17,05 --> 00:11:19,22 called an incremental tax and for 119 00:11:19,23 --> 00:11:24,02 a number of years that tax can be captured used to pay for road or whatever. Is 120 00:11:24,03 --> 00:11:27,04 that they needed to pay for that they didn't feel they could afford to do on their 121 00:11:27,05 --> 00:11:32,37 own it pays for that and when it's paid off the tax increment district goes away 122 00:11:32,72 --> 00:11:37,39 and then only the base value but all the growth that came about now comes on to the 123 00:11:37,40 --> 00:11:41,08 tax base so it's requiring you to invest on the front in put in 124 00:11:41,09 --> 00:11:45,01 a road or street you know whatever it is that they need that's over and above their 125 00:11:45,02 --> 00:11:48,94 budget that's preventing them from come to your community coming to your community 126 00:11:49,72 --> 00:11:54,04 and then giving that as an incentive in is when it can get paid off that tax base 127 00:11:54,05 --> 00:11:57,34 thing can be levied against by the city the county the school district and all the 128 00:11:57,35 --> 00:12:02,63 folks who are participating in the tax increment district. And in order to get have 129 00:12:02,64 --> 00:12:03,43 to if there has to be 130 00:12:03,44 --> 00:12:08,57 a but for test meeting but for this incentive the probably you know the development 131 00:12:08,58 --> 00:12:13,37 wouldn't occur so you're actually adding in tax base that would that would even 132 00:12:13,38 --> 00:12:18,04 come probably if you didn't pay for this road now we can't be and this came up in 133 00:12:18,05 --> 00:12:21,05 the Ways and Means Committee can never be one hundred percent assured that people 134 00:12:21,06 --> 00:12:24,00 are not going to come to your community we can't I can't tell you they wouldn't 135 00:12:24,01 --> 00:12:29,55 locate here anyway but I can tell you that if you don't then you run the risk of 136 00:12:29,56 --> 00:12:32,85 having them go somewhere else for someone else that might offer them the road or 137 00:12:32,86 --> 00:12:37,24 whatever else that they need to locate there and that's certainly an option that 138 00:12:37,25 --> 00:12:41,58 the city council could have as well so this plan and the other nice part about this 139 00:12:41,59 --> 00:12:47,02 plan is it's designed based on the increment that we're projecting will provide 140 00:12:47,71 --> 00:12:51,54 enough to pay for the peace that we need you know the component of the bonds that 141 00:12:51,55 --> 00:12:57,94 will help finance the road. And this conservatively estimated it has you know it's 142 00:12:57,95 --> 00:13:01,30 projecting more than we're actually plugging into the plan because again we're 143 00:13:01,34 --> 00:13:04,49 these are only estimates that we have we want to make sure that we're not putting 144 00:13:04,50 --> 00:13:09,06 the city at risk of having to pay for a lot of this kind of risk of having 145 00:13:09,07 --> 00:13:14,27 a levee for it we're helping the income it covers all of it. And so we purposefully 146 00:13:14,28 --> 00:13:19,27 put in some pretty. Conservative estimates but we can't guarantee that all of this 147 00:13:19,28 --> 00:13:22,23 is going to happen anyway and the nice part about putting 148 00:13:22,24 --> 00:13:25,53 a road in an industrial park is you're preparing the industrial park for 149 00:13:25,54 --> 00:13:30,61 development and whether it is this particular developer or one that might knock on 150 00:13:30,62 --> 00:13:36,09 your door tomorrow or the day after that you're building in part that's available 151 00:13:36,10 --> 00:13:39,76 and ready and has the road in place that would allow people to develop in their 152 00:13:39,77 --> 00:13:44,94 income so it hopefully is this development that's what the plan is based on but 153 00:13:44,99 --> 00:13:45,75 you're not putting in 154 00:13:45,76 --> 00:13:50,14 a lot of things that are probably not going to be required for the next developer 155 00:13:50,43 --> 00:13:54,00 either so that's what we're doing with this money and again it's an incentive you 156 00:13:54,36 --> 00:13:57,85 collect this incremental tax that's the result of the development use it for 157 00:13:57,86 --> 00:14:03,82 whatever improvement. Was required to get them here when that is paid off. The 158 00:14:03,83 --> 00:14:08,50 district collapses and now you've got this added tax base and we're looking at 159 00:14:08,74 --> 00:14:11,69 thirty three million dollars as the estimate 160 00:14:11,70 --> 00:14:15,36 a very conservative estimate doesn't include the equipment and just includes the 161 00:14:15,37 --> 00:14:19,73 taxable portion and then that of course will have appreciation over the years so 162 00:14:19,74 --> 00:14:24,05 that by the end of the years the estimated value conservatively is about thirty 163 00:14:24,06 --> 00:14:28,52 nine million so that's the market value estimate that you're bringing in through 164 00:14:28,53 --> 00:14:32,06 this investment. Does And does that make sense to everyone it's 165 00:14:32,07 --> 00:14:34,27 a very quick overview the plan has 166 00:14:34,28 --> 00:14:38,34 a lot of specifics in there an allowance an outline is what you're paying for the 167 00:14:38,35 --> 00:14:42,79 assumptions on what the development is and it shows the annual increment that was 168 00:14:42,80 --> 00:14:47,72 then used plugged into the bond utilized to show that you could use that money to 169 00:14:47,73 --> 00:14:51,41 pay off part of the bonds and so there's a lot of information the plan is this is 170 00:14:51,42 --> 00:14:54,30 a very draft document that very draft it's 171 00:14:54,31 --> 00:14:58,58 a draft we want to chance to go through make sure everything is exactly the way it 172 00:14:58,59 --> 00:15:02,76 should be and then the city council would see this prior to the public hearing on 173 00:15:02,77 --> 00:15:04,55 September twelfth and have 174 00:15:04,56 --> 00:15:08,40 a chance to comment on it before adopting it then it would also be reviewed the. 175 00:15:09,61 --> 00:15:13,03 Entity over creating the tip district and managing it is the 176 00:15:13,04 --> 00:15:17,87 a Cherry So they would prove approve it city council would approve it and then the 177 00:15:17,88 --> 00:15:22,05 following day the Planning Commission will also prove that this complies with the 178 00:15:22,06 --> 00:15:25,85 comprehensive plan before it would be implemented and then the bonds would be sold 179 00:15:25,86 --> 00:15:30,76 after that on the twenty six so thank you Gerri that was 180 00:15:30,77 --> 00:15:37,62 a little explanation much questions for Terry either on the. Issue and should 181 00:15:38,27 --> 00:15:43,83 or the. Modified redevelopment plan. Project industry. 182 00:15:47,36 --> 00:15:51,70 Say something that our prior man bought the fact that maybe other financing would 183 00:15:51,71 --> 00:15:58,24 be available other than just this prop project. Mr Mayor. 184 00:15:59,26 --> 00:16:04,11 Caller The the other item that could be done is abatement it's another economic 185 00:16:04,12 --> 00:16:09,80 development tool that the city has utilized. As far as trying to shorten it you 186 00:16:09,81 --> 00:16:13,05 take longer to pay it back you can that could last twenty years it would take more 187 00:16:13,06 --> 00:16:15,03 years to pay it back and 188 00:16:15,04 --> 00:16:19,78 a tiff plan you're capturing all the taxes that are that would be generated over 189 00:16:19,79 --> 00:16:25,64 and above the base so it captures more and the duration is only eight years and if 190 00:16:25,65 --> 00:16:29,19 you can collapse it sooner than that or then you then you can do it abatement is 191 00:16:29,20 --> 00:16:34,23 also available is harder because you get to prove that it qualifies as one of the 192 00:16:34,39 --> 00:16:36,12 types of the districts that are allowed as 193 00:16:36,13 --> 00:16:40,74 a redevelopment or soil or an economic development so it has to meet higher create 194 00:16:40,75 --> 00:16:42,18 area to do so but then you get 195 00:16:42,19 --> 00:16:46,54 a larger amount back every year to pay it off faster and save interest on the bonds 196 00:16:46,55 --> 00:16:50,31 hopefully you could use abatement but in that case you would only capture the 197 00:16:50,32 --> 00:16:54,51 city's share in so instead of being one hundred sixteen percent of the tax capacity 198 00:16:54,77 --> 00:16:59,42 it would drop down to the fifty percent range and you'd probably have to spread 199 00:16:59,43 --> 00:17:03,55 back the repayment over the full twenty years instead of the eight or nine that 200 00:17:03,56 --> 00:17:09,70 you're able to buy using to but it is another option I was talking about. 201 00:17:11,83 --> 00:17:14,78 And that's why I think the tip is preferred over abatement but it certainly could 202 00:17:14,79 --> 00:17:14,89 be 203 00:17:14,90 --> 00:17:22,04 a fallback position. Different. With taxonomic financing assess where mechanic 204 00:17:22,05 --> 00:17:22,40 you have to 205 00:17:22,41 --> 00:17:26,86 a business to come here but we would not there would be pain right or taxes. 206 00:17:29,39 --> 00:17:35,24 Oh I want to clarify could Mr where they take they will pay taxes regardless but 207 00:17:35,25 --> 00:17:39,14 but it's used to pay off the box the money is used to pay off the odds and in both 208 00:17:39,16 --> 00:17:42,32 cases the abatement or the tiff would be used to pay the bonds we dish to abatement 209 00:17:42,32 --> 00:17:48,34 bonds right so in both can think there I think they're the same I mean it's the 210 00:17:48,35 --> 00:17:53,71 same. For the developer pays taxes regardless and they will pay at the hundred 211 00:17:53,72 --> 00:17:58,80 sixteen percent rate. It's just a matter of how those taxes are used in a to fall 212 00:17:58,81 --> 00:18:03,78 a hundred sixteen percent over and above the base gets put into this fund and we 213 00:18:03,79 --> 00:18:08,35 can shorten up the bunch Herm So instead of paying for the two point nine in their 214 00:18:08,36 --> 00:18:10,83 portion of the two point nine million dollars over 215 00:18:10,84 --> 00:18:14,44 a longer period it comes in faster because they get all of it and so they pay off 216 00:18:14,45 --> 00:18:18,92 the bonds in the case of abatement they pay the full hundred sixteen percent of the 217 00:18:18,93 --> 00:18:24,78 combined taxes the other parts are the entities the county and city can levy 218 00:18:24,79 --> 00:18:29,39 against it and they get fifty percent of the city's share of it can be captured 219 00:18:29,60 --> 00:18:34,02 unless they agree and that fifty percent means you'll be taking in you know half as 220 00:18:34,03 --> 00:18:37,41 much money and then you'll have to spread it out to probably 221 00:18:37,42 --> 00:18:40,95 a twenty year term same thing they'd still be paying off two point one million 222 00:18:40,96 --> 00:18:45,81 dollars of bonds but they would be abatement bonds instead of to funds. So it's you 223 00:18:45,82 --> 00:18:50,78 can bring in money faster and the argument for using tiff also is that you know 224 00:18:50,79 --> 00:18:55,09 this is tax base that the city the county the school everyone will be able to levy 225 00:18:55,10 --> 00:18:58,54 against once the tiff district is complete so there is 226 00:18:58,55 --> 00:19:02,04 a good argument for doing it but if you're uncomfortable and you feel like it's not 227 00:19:02,05 --> 00:19:05,42 going to be supported or mostly it's because it doesn't qualify for to if it 228 00:19:05,43 --> 00:19:08,94 doesn't mean one of the tests then that he would use abatement is usually the 229 00:19:08,95 --> 00:19:13,61 Habeck but otherwise as far as who pays and how it's like that it's exactly the 230 00:19:13,62 --> 00:19:18,72 same either way and the amount of the bonds would be the same other question. 231 00:19:20,61 --> 00:19:25,82 I clarify that Jeffs checks the school district McAuliffe first here's our basement 232 00:19:25,83 --> 00:19:29,65 which issues the same portion of the taxes for twenty years when I think we should 233 00:19:29,69 --> 00:19:35,20 be careful but take because let's take that into the kind of the public that takes 234 00:19:35,36 --> 00:19:42,20 all the property taxes first years Badman just use the portion twenty. It does 235 00:19:42,26 --> 00:19:44,75 and the argument for using TIFF is you have to hit a button for 236 00:19:44,76 --> 00:19:49,12 a test so why does your argument is without the road they wouldn't come at all so I 237 00:19:49,13 --> 00:19:52,44 think that's where they are that you know it would you take the taxes or are these 238 00:19:52,45 --> 00:19:55,33 taxes that are coming because of what you've done and you're capturing something 239 00:19:55,34 --> 00:19:58,71 that wouldn't be there otherwise and I think that's where that's when it isn't just 240 00:19:58,72 --> 00:20:04,85 clear that people were asked about that. Yeah the other question. 241 00:20:09,35 --> 00:20:11,67 We have the two resolutions before us 242 00:20:11,68 --> 00:20:15,36 a purse would be the resolution that would call for the public hearing on the 243 00:20:15,37 --> 00:20:21,63 bottom side redevelopment plan. A move or a solution by Craig like 244 00:20:21,64 --> 00:20:26,81 a second half by the special. Total. 245 00:20:35,19 --> 00:20:40,77 Motion passes and then the second resolution. Would provide the issuance of the set 246 00:20:40,78 --> 00:20:46,58 and sell the bonds questions on that resolution 247 00:20:48,16 --> 00:20:53,36 or more of the resolution for the sale of bonds second question by John seconded by 248 00:20:53,37 --> 00:20:58,42 Craig discussion. Of all. 249 00:21:04,79 --> 00:21:09,87 Motion passes Thank you Carl and thank you Terry for your work on this agenda item 250 00:21:09,88 --> 00:21:15,41 number ten. Tonight 251 00:21:15,42 --> 00:21:18,46 a number ten is the introduction and calling for 252 00:21:18,47 --> 00:21:24,67 a public hearing regarding the amendment taxi cab ordinance in this was reviewed by 253 00:21:25,05 --> 00:21:29,68 I believe the legislative ordinance committee. That committee or Dennis you have 254 00:21:29,69 --> 00:21:34,73 any how much you want to make in the action is Introduction correct very brief 255 00:21:34,74 --> 00:21:40,96 comments there it was reviewed by ELEANOR HALL really no major substantive changes 256 00:21:40,97 --> 00:21:45,74 other than that the pro proposal the men ordinance amendment would authorize the 257 00:21:45,75 --> 00:21:51,84 issuance of the city issued decal tags something that would be on must be displayed 258 00:21:51,85 --> 00:21:57,90 on all of the taxi cabs placed in service. And the thinking is that I mean that 259 00:21:57,91 --> 00:22:01,30 there would be some recognition that yes this is the official in 260 00:22:01,31 --> 00:22:04,80 a license taxicabs in a might assist in force meant 261 00:22:04,96 --> 00:22:10,24 a little bit more and there's also discussion that through the city Web website or 262 00:22:10,25 --> 00:22:16,20 other public information we could assist in you know making sure people know which 263 00:22:16,20 --> 00:22:22,22 . Taxi cabs have been licensed by the city so that was the only amendment that was 264 00:22:22,23 --> 00:22:28,74 proposed in with this requesting that public hearing be held on this matter and at 265 00:22:28,75 --> 00:22:31,28 the request of the Illinois committee I have provided 266 00:22:31,29 --> 00:22:36,11 a copy of this to the three licensed operators in town and have invited them if 267 00:22:36,12 --> 00:22:39,42 they have any questions or want to meet with me I'm available I have not yet heard 268 00:22:39,83 --> 00:22:43,25 from any of them and I also encourage them to have to be at the public hearing on 269 00:22:43,26 --> 00:22:48,22 the twelfth or any other comments or questions I have one quick question I was 270 00:22:48,23 --> 00:22:53,17 reading through this it's payment sign identification on their vehicles and that's 271 00:22:53,18 --> 00:22:57,100 just stuck out to me because nobody paints on vehicles anymore so I don't know if 272 00:22:58,01 --> 00:23:00,36 that that's one of those that could somehow make it 273 00:23:00,37 --> 00:23:06,01 a sticking point does all done by the final letters you know I've removed the word 274 00:23:06,02 --> 00:23:09,83 permanent you know and so you know I'm thinking of something I would stick on you 275 00:23:09,84 --> 00:23:13,55 know where the magnetic side is I read the word pain and that's just some of it 276 00:23:13,56 --> 00:23:18,68 coming out what's not painted on your vehicle that we paint here so I don't know if 277 00:23:18,69 --> 00:23:22,94 that's yes I would say yes weeks if that's another that's something I still want to 278 00:23:22,95 --> 00:23:23,91 have examined it 279 00:23:23,92 --> 00:23:29,98 a logo something is edge here to the. I don't know if this come up in six months or 280 00:23:29,99 --> 00:23:35,83 has a painted on. I guess I could sit up take 281 00:23:35,84 --> 00:23:38,38 a look at that word. Have 282 00:23:38,39 --> 00:23:42,98 a question on. The license tag you it sets 283 00:23:42,99 --> 00:23:49,85 a it will be put on the front passenger window and then on the rear window is 284 00:23:49,86 --> 00:23:55,81 that to be visible the car inside the car. In my mind I'm envisioning something 285 00:23:55,82 --> 00:23:56,05 like 286 00:23:56,06 --> 00:24:01,17 a state park pass that goes on your window you know and so it's visible from the 287 00:24:01,18 --> 00:24:07,02 outside yes or you get in. You know and I just wondering what happens when they're 288 00:24:07,03 --> 00:24:11,96 old on the front window or what the I'm thinking now that not of the past I'm 289 00:24:11,97 --> 00:24:15,04 thinking on the when she'll feel when she walk 290 00:24:15,05 --> 00:24:19,88 a room because I was I thought it's at the front passenger window that's what it 291 00:24:19,89 --> 00:24:25,70 says when Channel interviewer say we want to ensure that the passenger side of the 292 00:24:25,71 --> 00:24:32,24 windshield so. Yeah that makes sense any other comments or 293 00:24:32,50 --> 00:24:38,95 questions if that is their motion to call for the public hearing that second second 294 00:24:38,96 --> 00:24:42,30 by Jim discussion about motorable. 295 00:24:49,25 --> 00:24:55,11 Ocean passes and the number eleven consider the resolution for the terminations of 296 00:24:55,12 --> 00:25:00,21 the per in that way and Joint Powers agreement. To present to Scott band the bell 297 00:25:00,75 --> 00:25:07,63 services. Thank you mayor and council before 298 00:25:07,64 --> 00:25:08,36 you you have 299 00:25:08,37 --> 00:25:13,96 a resolution to consider for termination of this Joint Powers big remit. 300 00:25:15,79 --> 00:25:22,13 As you saw in the background information. This resolution was formed back in two 301 00:25:22,14 --> 00:25:28,53 thousand and three essential ie. The agreement hasn't 302 00:25:29,33 --> 00:25:34,79 formed what was originally thought. The group had met on 303 00:25:34,80 --> 00:25:40,72 a yearly basis relied on each other for technology resources and 304 00:25:41,71 --> 00:25:47,46 developing plans. But now this group in the foreign entities believe that they can 305 00:25:47,47 --> 00:25:48,42 function as 306 00:25:48,43 --> 00:25:55,31 a informal user group. Councilman de Kramer sits on 307 00:25:55,80 --> 00:26:01,53 that board so I would rely on his experience and past background with that board 308 00:26:01,54 --> 00:26:08,52 for additional questions that I can answer for the new me how much you 309 00:26:08,53 --> 00:26:14,96 want to make otherwise so one comment I would make is that. You know. This group 310 00:26:15,08 --> 00:26:19,24 this consortium. It's 311 00:26:19,25 --> 00:26:25,62 a very good work early on and really kind of set the standards for the 312 00:26:25,92 --> 00:26:32,88 broadband that we have in this city and that really is. Who to 313 00:26:32,89 --> 00:26:39,29 really to standards that were set by this group and also provided the connectivity 314 00:26:39,30 --> 00:26:45,88 between the different entities A We eliminated Henschel for duplications. And 315 00:26:46,65 --> 00:26:53,42 related say it to the group has served its purpose or was originally formed. 316 00:26:55,48 --> 00:27:00,88 Basically as the possibility of needing to actually have 317 00:27:00,89 --> 00:27:07,50 a communication or provider that would work with all the operations 318 00:27:07,94 --> 00:27:14,06 the city the city utilities School District County and one point 319 00:27:14,63 --> 00:27:21,52 and the. As it turned out with providers 320 00:27:21,53 --> 00:27:28,24 coming in and setting up this really was like Scott said this is not something that 321 00:27:28,33 --> 00:27:34,60 we had to go in that direction. The group itself has done and will continue to do 322 00:27:35,13 --> 00:27:41,99 a lot of things that are good for the city the county and. The school our city 323 00:27:42,00 --> 00:27:48,24 Televisa and the school and that we will be purchasing jointly some of the items we 324 00:27:48,25 --> 00:27:52,41 go through this our budgeting time really keeps our I.T. 325 00:27:52,42 --> 00:27:53,39 Costs down to about 326 00:27:53,40 --> 00:27:57,33 a third of what it would be otherwise for each of the groups are not duplicating 327 00:27:57,34 --> 00:28:00,32 efforts for effort some redundancy and 328 00:28:00,33 --> 00:28:06,06 a few things so that portion will continue but what it won't be is 329 00:28:06,07 --> 00:28:08,04 a legal entity that's 330 00:28:08,05 --> 00:28:14,25 a Joint Powers and when it comes right down to it the reality of that is 331 00:28:14,82 --> 00:28:17,03 that that saves us about one thousand dollars 332 00:28:17,04 --> 00:28:23,77 a year. Insurance I was involved in that. We're going to keep on with 333 00:28:23,78 --> 00:28:30,65 a function just on our informal. User Group we're not required to have 334 00:28:30,66 --> 00:28:36,58 meetings as we would with the bylaws of the Joint Powers and we're not required to 335 00:28:36,58 --> 00:28:42,51 . Carry an insurance which really was never needed some it's a. Kind of 336 00:28:42,52 --> 00:28:49,37 a couple things it's served its purpose. And. Really no need for 337 00:28:49,38 --> 00:28:54,59 that added expense. By terminating the Joint Powers and going right to 338 00:28:54,60 --> 00:29:00,12 a users group. We can accomplish the same thing. But 339 00:29:01,66 --> 00:29:05,68 still with the new user group there will not be an agreement or anything else when 340 00:29:05,69 --> 00:29:10,69 it others agree that goal that we do for the budgeting and you'll see that 341 00:29:10,70 --> 00:29:15,94 a budgeting time of what basically likes are the cost of servers and think it's 342 00:29:15,95 --> 00:29:21,96 a third third third since we share the equipment but if skin to be handled 343 00:29:22,04 --> 00:29:27,75 a little bit more I see there's still going to be the agreements just the formation 344 00:29:27,76 --> 00:29:32,08 of the group is going to be less formal but I'm wondering if there will be an 345 00:29:32,09 --> 00:29:36,46 agreement wouldn't it be if the agreement going to be finished before it December 346 00:29:36,47 --> 00:29:41,34 thirty first when this Ayers the agreements are going to continue on those are 347 00:29:41,35 --> 00:29:46,10 going to go and they're going to come to each of the organizations individually as 348 00:29:46,11 --> 00:29:52,68 they have. To. Approve the purchases and approve the 349 00:29:52,69 --> 00:29:59,59 budgets but the groups are going to meet. Again informally as far as 350 00:30:00,00 --> 00:30:05,98 where are things located what type of equipment needs to be purchased and really 351 00:30:05,99 --> 00:30:12,56 how does the the nuts and bolts of the. System that we have now with the city 352 00:30:12,75 --> 00:30:17,27 really operate. And much has been covered in the partnership agreement between us 353 00:30:17,77 --> 00:30:20,29 that's right yeah that's that's a good point too that 354 00:30:20,39 --> 00:30:25,54 a lot of that's in the partnership agreement where there is some formality to the 355 00:30:26,25 --> 00:30:32,77 the expenses and the and the operation if it's the. Legal structure of the group 356 00:30:32,78 --> 00:30:35,66 that were really changing the only way academia 357 00:30:35,70 --> 00:30:40,64 a new.

Discontinue the Burren at wham train 372 00:31:58,85 --> 00:32:03,98 powers it's us and I'm not sure where the school district goes out but that's part 373 00:32:03,99 --> 00:32:07,86 of the process last night I did out of that last night OK where the last ones yes. 374 00:32:09,82 --> 00:32:13,97 That needs to be completed at least three months prior to but the end of your soul 375 00:32:13,98 --> 00:32:19,96 just now at the end of the year will automatically just dissolve and Lyon County 376 00:32:19,97 --> 00:32:22,31 with meat coming to the agreement they signed it about 377 00:32:22,32 --> 00:32:26,24 a year later but they also took the action that last month's meeting OK I'm an 378 00:32:26,25 --> 00:32:32,80 eight that as well as all four entities and no did. They get anything else. So 379 00:32:32,84 --> 00:32:39,24 agenda number twelve Reagan cable Bush Scott thank you Marin Council 380 00:32:39,66 --> 00:32:44,02 simply an informational item. The cable commission is 381 00:32:44,03 --> 00:32:49,84 a group that has not formally met about to early of April of two thousand and 382 00:32:49,85 --> 00:32:50,93 eleven and 383 00:32:50,94 --> 00:32:57,93 a lot of things have changed in terms of cable in Marshall community. Just as an 384 00:32:57,94 --> 00:33:02,40 example we're in the middle of negotiations or where the beginning stages I should 385 00:33:02,41 --> 00:33:07,64 say with both charter and vast to renew those agreements with those entities and 386 00:33:07,65 --> 00:33:14,64 obviously with. The development of Peg funds coming into the city to 387 00:33:14,65 --> 00:33:18,59 be dispersed among three parties ourselves S.M.S. 388 00:33:18,60 --> 00:33:24,11 You and the school district based on capital requests. I think there is value in 389 00:33:24,12 --> 00:33:29,99 reinstating that commission we do have folks that are in arrested and willing to 390 00:33:30,00 --> 00:33:36,35 serve on that commission so I bring it forward to you just as an informational that 391 00:33:37,20 --> 00:33:43,53 I'd like to see that commission reconvene so that we are transparent in terms of 392 00:33:43,54 --> 00:33:48,53 the financial decisions that we make with pay dollars rather than just relying on 393 00:33:48,75 --> 00:33:54,89 myself and Alex Petersen SOL with that I'd take any questions from you thank you 394 00:33:54,90 --> 00:33:57,35 Scott any questions what does 395 00:33:57,36 --> 00:34:04,36 a pig stand for public educational and governmental. Or any other 396 00:34:04,37 --> 00:34:11,05 questions. Thank you Scott Oh David if I 397 00:34:11,06 --> 00:34:16,13 may Scott you mention we have some community members who are interested in serving 398 00:34:16,14 --> 00:34:21,71 on the reconstituted board and that's great but I trust We're also going to be 399 00:34:21,72 --> 00:34:27,12 publicizing the appointment process through the usual channels there's a broad mix 400 00:34:27,13 --> 00:34:34,05 a curious chance to hear about or you know already have been how. I believe those. 401 00:34:35,25 --> 00:34:40,15 That are really me. Where. 402 00:34:44,21 --> 00:34:44,94 And that maybe is 403 00:34:44,95 --> 00:34:50,92 a larger discussion we want to pursue but. That got where those get publicized 404 00:34:50,93 --> 00:34:51,76 answer it once in 405 00:34:51,77 --> 00:34:58,35 a while recurring issue we have around here not just for cable but. It does seem to 406 00:34:58,36 --> 00:35:02,05 me if that's happened before we've acted on it here that's a little bit of 407 00:35:02,06 --> 00:35:07,00 a cart before the horse which I don't think is quite right. As your article says 408 00:35:07,01 --> 00:35:12,40 not to mention that we never did sunset or or eliminate the ordinance establishing 409 00:35:12,41 --> 00:35:18,24 a cable commission right Evan Ebel since. I still have that concern I think maybe 410 00:35:18,25 --> 00:35:24,49 we'll have more discussion on that later thank you. So this this commission last 411 00:35:24,50 --> 00:35:29,30 met in April of two thousand and eleven as far back as I could find the meeting 412 00:35:29,31 --> 00:35:35,34 minutes which is six years ago. And so we will 413 00:35:36,21 --> 00:35:42,54 operate without the commission for six years so. The question I have is do what we 414 00:35:42,75 --> 00:35:46,09 really need the commission if we would just it without it for six years and 415 00:35:46,10 --> 00:35:49,88 everything's been done and I haven't heard in complaints about the way things are 416 00:35:49,89 --> 00:35:55,25 done. Maybe it's OK to downsize government and eliminate some commissions if we 417 00:35:55,26 --> 00:36:02,10 don't need I'm. Totally agree but as I stated earlier earlier counts Monday or 418 00:36:02,11 --> 00:36:05,33 color. If your comfortable as 419 00:36:05,34 --> 00:36:12,31 a council member. Relying on myself and Alex Peterson to disperse peg funds 420 00:36:13,00 --> 00:36:17,42 that come into the city between fifty and sixty five thousand dollars 421 00:36:17,43 --> 00:36:24,27 a year if you're comfortable with that then I certainly support that. But what my 422 00:36:24,31 --> 00:36:29,58 my intent here is so that we can be transparent in terms of the dollars that we 423 00:36:29,59 --> 00:36:34,18 bring Ian and how we spend those dollars So there's other folks making those 424 00:36:34,19 --> 00:36:40,81 decisions rather than two city employees. Got it I think your point is good and the 425 00:36:41,24 --> 00:36:44,60 it's all SOL. We're all as 426 00:36:44,61 --> 00:36:50,48 a city we always promote active citizenship people being involved in the public 427 00:36:50,49 --> 00:36:55,00 good and I think when we're spending money it's good to be transparent but I think 428 00:36:55,31 --> 00:36:59,11 city government needs to be more transparent than it is our it comes to spending 429 00:36:59,12 --> 00:37:05,06 money I applaud you for bringing that forward transparent with regard to this the 430 00:37:05,07 --> 00:37:10,48 commission as is the commission more advisory you know I mean do they actually hold 431 00:37:10,48 --> 00:37:14,57 and they decide how the money is spent or to staff and the City Council to decide 432 00:37:14,57 --> 00:37:15,14 Oh yes that's 433 00:37:15,14 --> 00:37:18,86 a good question the commission plays an advisory role right now so they're just 434 00:37:18,87 --> 00:37:24,46 giving advice on it right and as far as the number in the transparency other than 435 00:37:25,23 --> 00:37:27,99 the members of this. Is 436 00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:32,37 a five member commission Yes Other than those five individuals does anybody else 437 00:37:32,38 --> 00:37:39,33 know how the money is being scrapped Well the council write it and 438 00:37:39,34 --> 00:37:40,92 it would anyway even if it wasn't 439 00:37:40,93 --> 00:37:44,88 a commission the callus chorale the money has been scrapped right so much more 440 00:37:44,89 --> 00:37:49,35 transparency is there and having these five individuals involved and I'm for 441 00:37:49,36 --> 00:37:54,12 transparency too I'm just I'm just sometimes the government gets too big we have 442 00:37:54,13 --> 00:37:58,84 too many commissions too many of boards and if one hasn't been used for six years I 443 00:37:58,85 --> 00:38:05,67 mean do we really need it is my question and I think the role. And I don't mean to 444 00:38:05,68 --> 00:38:10,71 speak out of turn but I think the role of the commission has certainly changed 445 00:38:10,72 --> 00:38:15,14 since April of two thousand and eleven paid dollars Warren available to the city 446 00:38:15,15 --> 00:38:16,82 back in April of two thousand and eleven 447 00:38:22,56 --> 00:38:25,65 and any other input thank you Scott. 448 00:38:29,37 --> 00:38:36,28 Jed I'm number thirty.

As far as what's all involved and on the. 503 00:44:14,35 --> 00:44:19,41 Other items I got three of three things here but one other item is we did have our 504 00:44:19,42 --> 00:44:25,32 first meeting of the miscible building or the reconvening of that group with 505 00:44:25,33 --> 00:44:29,17 several new members and we had a chance to take 506 00:44:29,18 --> 00:44:34,93 a tour of the building go through some of the Basically the past history bring 507 00:44:34,94 --> 00:44:40,39 everybody hopefully up to date enough to know what we're going to be talking about 508 00:44:40,40 --> 00:44:41,12 and we've got 509 00:44:41,13 --> 00:44:49,25 a meeting scheduled for the first week in September. Last 510 00:44:49,26 --> 00:44:52,22 item I have is in regards to M.M. 511 00:44:52,23 --> 00:44:58,46 You. We've had discussions in the past regarding the 512 00:44:59,30 --> 00:45:03,88 sodium chloride levels that are in our effluent water and what's coming out of our 513 00:45:03,89 --> 00:45:08,95 wastewater treatment facility and how that. 514 00:45:10,68 --> 00:45:17,07 Most economically can be curtailed through changes with the the water treatment 515 00:45:17,08 --> 00:45:23,54 facility the basically the fresh water coming in. M.M.U. 516 00:45:23,55 --> 00:45:30,18 Put in for two different grants. One was basically in 517 00:45:30,19 --> 00:45:35,86 regards to water improvement and the second was through. 518 00:45:38,00 --> 00:45:44,01 M.P.C. a. Project the first one they had 519 00:45:44,02 --> 00:45:49,88 a call for both regarding their status the first one with the. 520 00:45:51,03 --> 00:45:54,48 Regarding water quality since there really is not 521 00:45:54,49 --> 00:46:01,24 a need from the emusic aspect or from. Other 522 00:46:01,25 --> 00:46:06,09 Department of Health or whatever to improve the quality of the water it is hard 523 00:46:06,10 --> 00:46:12,19 water but the we've got good quality water that's coming out of him you sold that 524 00:46:12,20 --> 00:46:18,23 portion of the grant they figured was unlikely to be. Awarded 525 00:46:19,84 --> 00:46:22,39 the other one however M.P.C. 526 00:46:22,40 --> 00:46:26,25 Eight they had a discussion on that this would be for 527 00:46:26,26 --> 00:46:32,82 a seven million dollars grant to do the. Water treatment facility 528 00:46:33,70 --> 00:46:34,45 they did have 529 00:46:34,46 --> 00:46:40,28 a call in and question and answer session on that and the information they got out 530 00:46:40,29 --> 00:46:43,35 of there was that Marshall has been scored 531 00:46:44,27 --> 00:46:50,64 a score of sixty eight on the grant Now last year. 532 00:46:51,78 --> 00:46:52,77 Anyone with 533 00:46:52,78 --> 00:46:58,96 a score of fifty six or higher was awarded the Graham 534 00:47:00,27 --> 00:47:05,41 saw there's no guarantees but at this point it is 535 00:47:06,01 --> 00:47:11,99 a strong possibility that we would be awarded the seven million dollar grant to. 536 00:47:14,61 --> 00:47:21,39 Revamp our system and increase the lime softening and the addition of 537 00:47:21,40 --> 00:47:28,25 the potash softening to bring the water down from its original 538 00:47:28,26 --> 00:47:33,38 way it's at about seventy grains of hardness now the water treatment facility is 539 00:47:33,39 --> 00:47:39,29 down to about thirty five. This final treatment would not make 540 00:47:39,30 --> 00:47:45,26 a zero but it would bring it down to approximately in the five to eight grains of 541 00:47:45,27 --> 00:47:51,82 hardness. Range that is intended to 542 00:47:52,61 --> 00:47:59,01 not have the primarily residence which of. Cording to the studies 543 00:47:59,54 --> 00:48:04,34 about seventy percent of the chlorides that are being released into Redwood rever 544 00:48:04,88 --> 00:48:10,79 come from residential water softeners So the intent is to bring it down to the 545 00:48:10,80 --> 00:48:17,29 point where residential water softeners could either be removed if they so choose 546 00:48:17,30 --> 00:48:17,93 and stay with 547 00:48:17,94 --> 00:48:24,74 a five to eight grains of hardness or at least be dialed back considerably so that 548 00:48:24,75 --> 00:48:29,63 the amount of salt that's used is tremendously reduced. 549 00:48:32,10 --> 00:48:38,18 It's at this point that really it comes back to start thinking about from the city 550 00:48:38,19 --> 00:48:44,91 council. Because in order to do that there are some criteria there's eight points 551 00:48:44,92 --> 00:48:48,05 that a while back we had 552 00:48:48,06 --> 00:48:54,45 a study that on was far is what needs to be done in order to do this 553 00:48:54,97 --> 00:48:55,43 and there's 554 00:48:55,44 --> 00:49:01,92 a series of progressions that we had to take in order to bring that Corey levels 555 00:49:01,93 --> 00:49:08,47 down to the point where they need to be. We can't do that 556 00:49:08,48 --> 00:49:15,05 without drastically reducing the amount of salt that comes from water softeners 557 00:49:15,58 --> 00:49:20,67 at this point I believe the numbers about eleven thousand palms of salt that go to 558 00:49:20,68 --> 00:49:25,88 the river weekly basis for Marshall and we've got to bring that down. 559 00:49:29,27 --> 00:49:33,88 That's going to take some action by the city council that we're going to have 560 00:49:33,89 --> 00:49:40,87 a much better much more detailed presentation assuming that at the end of this 561 00:49:40,88 --> 00:49:47,63 month. If we get the grandpa awarded. Brad 562 00:49:47,64 --> 00:49:52,52 rolls will be here or somebody will be here to go through and give us 563 00:49:52,53 --> 00:49:58,96 a very detailed explanation of what's going on the effects of what's it going to 564 00:49:58,97 --> 00:50:02,50 cost various things but we're centrally looking at 565 00:50:02,51 --> 00:50:08,13 a nine million dollars project of approving the water treatment facility which we 566 00:50:08,14 --> 00:50:08,65 would have 567 00:50:08,66 --> 00:50:15,49 a seven million dollars grant to kick us off but there's always but but there's 568 00:50:15,53 --> 00:50:21,70 actions at the City Council would need to take. I would suggest that the Assuming 569 00:50:21,71 --> 00:50:27,60 you still have those reports of the vailable take 570 00:50:27,61 --> 00:50:34,45 a look at it before probably September twelfth. We should know by the end of 571 00:50:34,46 --> 00:50:41,15 this month if we get the grant or not and. There's going to work assuming we get 572 00:50:41,16 --> 00:50:43,81 the Gramp we're going to have to hit the ground running there's 573 00:50:43,82 --> 00:50:48,22 a lot of things that have to happen in the stands to be completed by two thousand 574 00:50:48,23 --> 00:50:54,93 and nineteen so things are going to be moving right along with that 575 00:50:55,44 --> 00:50:56,05 M.M.U. 576 00:50:56,06 --> 00:51:03,03 Has already taking taken some action to move forward and get an anticipation hoping 577 00:51:03,04 --> 00:51:04,95 to get that ground but there's 578 00:51:04,96 --> 00:51:10,36 a lot that can't be done until we actually have the word that we've got it so I 579 00:51:10,37 --> 00:51:16,57 would encourage you to finals reports get ahold of me there myself or glamour 580 00:51:17,15 --> 00:51:19,96 or somebody from M.M.U. 581 00:51:19,97 --> 00:51:26,06 If you don't have it available we'll get you those reports read through it and get 582 00:51:26,07 --> 00:51:32,66 an understanding of those conditions the worst case situation and 583 00:51:32,85 --> 00:51:39,67 stressed worst case situation is if all of these actions we do this we spend the 584 00:51:39,68 --> 00:51:46,56 mind million we we still are not meeting the criteria for. 585 00:51:48,89 --> 00:51:55,84 The water leaving their treatment facility we would have to put an ordinance 586 00:51:55,85 --> 00:51:57,97 out so you do not use 587 00:51:57,98 --> 00:52:03,97 a water softener MARSHALL That's the absolute worst and there's 588 00:52:03,98 --> 00:52:10,15 a lot of things we can do before that and the feeling is we should be able to meet 589 00:52:10,19 --> 00:52:16,94 our standards well before we get to that point but we take this grant 590 00:52:17,38 --> 00:52:23,69 we move forward we must meet our discharge levels and that's. 591 00:52:25,13 --> 00:52:29,54 Part of the requirement of doing that so we would need to take the steps and again 592 00:52:29,55 --> 00:52:34,59 the absolute worst case step is to. I have an ordinance against the use of water 593 00:52:34,60 --> 00:52:41,08 softeners. Of your requirement that is also 594 00:52:41,09 --> 00:52:47,97 a requirement right so probably taken the bottom of time on 595 00:52:47,98 --> 00:52:52,39 that to get you started on that start thinking about 596 00:52:52,40 --> 00:52:55,37 a start reading up on it and we will be getting 597 00:52:55,41 --> 00:52:59,61 a much more detail presentation by M.M.U. 598 00:53:00,51 --> 00:53:06,27 Hopefully in the near future if we don't get the grant OK we don't we move on we 599 00:53:06,28 --> 00:53:12,66 wait for next year or whatever but. At this point with the scoring 600 00:53:12,67 --> 00:53:18,58 a sixty eight looks very promising so we need to be ready to move before you do get 601 00:53:18,59 --> 00:53:25,11 the word say that we're moving so that. With 602 00:53:25,12 --> 00:53:32,02 a six. Gun. One of 603 00:53:32,03 --> 00:53:37,46 my boards have met him. He will then to number twenty. 604 00:53:41,72 --> 00:53:47,83 Council member individual items chinless earn here and. Do I have Titus we have 605 00:53:47,97 --> 00:53:51,81 some summer one off very well I was down there on Saturday night and it was 606 00:53:51,82 --> 00:53:57,63 a very enjoyable evening and I want to enter pleas for city good job and the inside 607 00:53:57,64 --> 00:53:59,74 of what our first sort was but you don't hear 608 00:53:59,75 --> 00:54:03,27 a lot of good things but I was about twenty feet away from these two gentlemen who 609 00:54:03,28 --> 00:54:03,75 said get 610 00:54:03,76 --> 00:54:08,87 a little rambunctious and our police force you know get Rob Gretton police force 611 00:54:08,88 --> 00:54:13,39 they went in there he intervened. Down both we got to stay at the restaurant they 612 00:54:13,40 --> 00:54:13,92 did you did 613 00:54:13,93 --> 00:54:18,64 a wonderful job that is want to compliment them on the job that it did that even it 614 00:54:19,01 --> 00:54:22,96 and the event that went off that he could have 615 00:54:22,97 --> 00:54:29,28 a. Earlier this month I was at the annual summer calf and so the coalition created 616 00:54:29,29 --> 00:54:30,30 Minnesota cities and 617 00:54:31,22 --> 00:54:35,97 a lot of good useful information our neighbor Mayor Smith from Granite Falls is the 618 00:54:35,98 --> 00:54:38,46 new president this year so I think that's 619 00:54:39,21 --> 00:54:45,08 a good thing for our region and look forward to hear what. Agenda they are 620 00:54:45,09 --> 00:54:51,39 developing for the next legislative session and just the one thing that I have 621 00:54:51,39 --> 00:54:55,03 noticed a little bit more Szell lately that kind of 622 00:54:55,04 --> 00:54:58,27 a long term in our planning talked about there's been 623 00:54:58,29 --> 00:55:03,09 a lot more bike traffic out along fifty nine heading out to industrial park you 624 00:55:03,09 --> 00:55:08,54 know morning and evening as workers are starting to use. The work adults are using 625 00:55:08,55 --> 00:55:15,13 a little bit more of the bikes. Maybe. It's time for us to start thinking about how 626 00:55:15,14 --> 00:55:16,18 to do 627 00:55:16,18 --> 00:55:22,04 a safer trail for them some means of either parking or whatever but right now they're 628 00:55:22,57 --> 00:55:27,16 you know they have to pedal the I would fifty nine and of course probably the worst 629 00:55:27,18 --> 00:55:30,60 part is trying to cross the bridge about the time you get to some wires up to go 630 00:55:30,73 --> 00:55:36,58 through. Just keep that in mind as we start planning out in there maybe we can put 631 00:55:36,59 --> 00:55:41,77 some trails up through there that southbound is the worst coming back because 632 00:55:41,78 --> 00:55:45,59 there's the channel Parkway interface bridge all the point there is. 633 00:55:53,20 --> 00:55:58,06 Is changing but I don't next month what Glenn and I will be at the area 634 00:55:58,08 --> 00:56:02,78 transportation partnership which is probably the most likely source of the funding 635 00:56:03,38 --> 00:56:03,85 that that was 636 00:56:03,85 --> 00:56:09,03 a source of funding that did along Highway twenty three from the intersection back 637 00:56:09,05 --> 00:56:14,60 to independent law. So we can be concerned and especially with them. 638 00:56:17,51 --> 00:56:20,90 Greg. Only have 639 00:56:20,91 --> 00:56:26,30 a couple items wanted it relates directly to the bike trails again and. With the 640 00:56:26,31 --> 00:56:31,25 completion through the fairgrounds area past my office not only do I see 641 00:56:31,26 --> 00:56:32,57 a lot of traffic but 642 00:56:32,82 --> 00:56:36,68 a lot of people use the parking lot there across from the Public Works 643 00:56:36,69 --> 00:56:42,55 Environmental Office to. Go on to the trail and come off the trail so I've had 644 00:56:42,56 --> 00:56:47,53 a number of opportunities to talk to people coming off the trail and I say you know 645 00:56:47,54 --> 00:56:53,34 how you do on it so what do you think of the trail and it has been extremely 646 00:56:53,35 --> 00:56:58,06 positive in the I'm I'm absolutely amazed at the mama traffic that goes through 647 00:56:58,07 --> 00:57:02,16 there during week I can only imagine what it looks like on the weekends and I have 648 00:57:02,17 --> 00:57:02,44 gotten 649 00:57:02,45 --> 00:57:06,09 a lot of really good feedback for couple negative things and I know they've talked 650 00:57:06,64 --> 00:57:09,96 to go on and pressed on and that's all good and and you know I just want to make 651 00:57:09,97 --> 00:57:14,01 sure when they do that that they call city hall and and express that and say it 652 00:57:14,02 --> 00:57:18,29 there first but most of the people that I've talked to out there that use the 653 00:57:18,30 --> 00:57:23,21 parking lot are coming from more than twenty miles away so we have people putting 654 00:57:23,22 --> 00:57:28,36 their bikes on the racks or loading in the back of the van hauling I'm there to go 655 00:57:28,37 --> 00:57:34,07 on the trailhead and they usually. Excuse me it seems like the majority of them 656 00:57:34,50 --> 00:57:39,74 right up to Linda or to the state park back and then they go into town and they 657 00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:44,53 also enjoy the communities or the like trail so it's really encouraging and very 658 00:57:44,54 --> 00:57:49,09 impressive So my hat's off there and then again I just want to go back off and 659 00:57:49,10 --> 00:57:53,79 thank those public works in the street you partment for their attention to 660 00:57:53,80 --> 00:57:58,96 a lot of the detail. About keeping things clean and the cooperation with the fair 661 00:57:58,100 --> 00:58:04,96 especially this year with the travelling Morial and really making sure that we had 662 00:58:04,97 --> 00:58:10,37 a clean doorstep there. I wasn't able to visit the memorial here when I was here we 663 00:58:10,38 --> 00:58:15,93 were in Texas. But my wife and I got up early Sunday morning and drove to the dock 664 00:58:15,94 --> 00:58:21,59 was county fairgrounds in Alexandria to visit there and after we went through the 665 00:58:21,60 --> 00:58:26,00 memorial and talk to the firefighters I talked to the truck driver and his daughter 666 00:58:26,53 --> 00:58:26,72 for 667 00:58:26,73 --> 00:58:32,66 a good period of time I asked him you know Marshall treat each OK and Marshall treated 668 00:58:32,67 --> 00:58:36,44 him more than OK and I don't want to say anything bad about Douglas County but. 669 00:58:37,80 --> 00:58:39,35 This community left 670 00:58:39,36 --> 00:58:42,89 a lasting positive memory with old folks and I think we should be proud of. 671 00:58:48,66 --> 00:58:53,77 One going back to the bike trail. And I think your writing just to give 672 00:58:53,78 --> 00:58:57,41 a report on the railroad crossing that I would I would echo and Steve I know you've 673 00:58:57,42 --> 00:58:57,55 been 674 00:58:57,56 --> 00:59:07,07 a lot of trail was probably one of the bases. At the longest but by one more. If 675 00:59:07,08 --> 00:59:12,95 I can step back to so now to add to the extension one of the most recent couple 676 00:59:12,96 --> 00:59:19,75 that I talked to said Now we need to connect to Tracy in the. Past like 677 00:59:19,76 --> 00:59:23,57 Marshall I don't see how that's probably private so go on when your spare time I 678 00:59:23,58 --> 00:59:28,73 want you to do a virtual math proposal on that OK you'll have 679 00:59:28,74 --> 00:59:35,44 a month or so yeah yeah OK thanks. I have nothing good I have 680 00:59:35,45 --> 00:59:41,19 nothing. Again echoing Jim's comments about song. 681 00:59:42,87 --> 00:59:47,94 First off Saturday it was perfect weather and lots of good organization went into 682 00:59:47,95 --> 00:59:54,68 it not only by city staff but lots of volunteers very successful weekends but. You 683 00:59:54,69 --> 00:59:58,18 know with the exception of the weather challenge that we had on Friday night 684 00:59:58,19 --> 01:00:03,11 everything went. Well move on then to over twenty one. 685 01:00:07,22 --> 01:00:13,04 Steph reports. This after the scenes work session the next budget work session last 686 01:00:13,05 --> 01:00:16,19 scheduled for September nineteenth I just want to let the council know that there 687 01:00:16,20 --> 01:00:19,29 were scheduling conflicts what happened to killer date so we are trying to 688 01:00:19,30 --> 01:00:24,03 reschedule that for either September twentieth or twenty first so I don't have the 689 01:00:24,04 --> 01:00:28,82 centrality doodle if we could get some replies to that that would be wonderful so 690 01:00:28,83 --> 01:00:33,22 we can get that back on the calendar so here's the. Thanks for bringing that up 691 01:00:33,34 --> 01:00:33,57 here's 692 01:00:33,58 --> 01:00:39,47 a scheduling conflict Democrats than that that evening but the all as we know from 693 01:00:39,70 --> 01:00:44,27 a couple weeks ago all that reading can go on with me that is the evening or the. 694 01:00:45,66 --> 01:00:52,59 Presentations and exposure of revenue so. If an alternate 695 01:00:52,60 --> 01:00:57,43 the works perfectly for everybody that's fine otherwise I would suggest go with 696 01:00:57,44 --> 01:01:04,42 that number nineteen. And David you'll have the chair of the meeting. So. 697 01:01:06,04 --> 01:01:11,81 People would respond to or do and then we'll take it from there that will come with 698 01:01:11,81 --> 01:01:18,35 them though. And and just an update tomorrow the city administrator position 699 01:01:18,51 --> 01:01:24,99 close us the posting as of last Friday on our carry wires sent out an honest each 700 01:01:25,00 --> 01:01:29,44 of you there were fifteen applicants for the position we expect that there are more 701 01:01:29,96 --> 01:01:35,64 at the closing tomorrow. Kerry will conduct the initial screening of those 702 01:01:35,65 --> 01:01:39,83 applicants and then select the top ten or so to move forward into the hiring 703 01:01:39,84 --> 01:01:45,40 process semifinalists will be brought to the council for your review on September 704 01:01:45,41 --> 01:01:50,34 twelfth where you will select the finalists for the position at that September 705 01:01:50,35 --> 01:01:55,75 twelfth meeting as well Gary will also review your wishes on the interview dates 706 01:01:55,79 --> 01:02:02,73 and how you wish that day those two days to proceed. And just if I could feel like 707 01:02:02,74 --> 01:02:05,33 I'm droppin in here under report to watch what the just 708 01:02:05,34 --> 01:02:07,95 a job when there are no cash you send all kind of 709 01:02:07,96 --> 01:02:12,90 a Save the date for True days or we're obviously not going to use those two full 710 01:02:12,91 --> 01:02:13,61 days but there was 711 01:02:13,62 --> 01:02:20,45 a moral. Just kind of was asleep at the soul if you fall the pattern that we 712 01:02:20,61 --> 01:02:27,00 most recent. That Monday there would be lunch Monday 713 01:02:27,04 --> 01:02:29,16 evening there would be a kind of 714 01:02:29,17 --> 01:02:35,61 a community. Candidate and then Tuesday would. Would only 715 01:02:35,62 --> 01:02:42,42 occupied. Probably will take one full day of the cultural members. 716 01:02:45,06 --> 01:02:49,37 And then one final thing to mind her that on August thirtieth the council is 717 01:02:49,38 --> 01:02:54,56 invited to the retirement celebration for John Krugman he spent our detective with 718 01:02:54,57 --> 01:02:59,85 our police department far over thirty years so his reception is from four to five 719 01:02:59,86 --> 01:03:05,99 thirty eight on four seventh's on. Any question. About think you should. 720 01:03:07,80 --> 01:03:09,75 Think you mean canceled just touch base 721 01:03:09,76 --> 01:03:15,89 a little bit on the bike path project as we look for it to be completed the 722 01:03:15,90 --> 01:03:21,55 railroad is here doing their work both on the bike path crossing Highway nineteen 723 01:03:22,09 --> 01:03:26,35 region Theobald road and there's some rumor that they may do something with 724 01:03:27,16 --> 01:03:33,83 Fairview crossing so they are here. They'll be detours 725 01:03:33,87 --> 01:03:39,51 set up periodically but my understanding is they'll be cutting the rail and 726 01:03:39,68 --> 01:03:44,99 replacing the rail and higher elevation and so you want here's 727 01:03:45,00 --> 01:03:51,80 a train coming through maybe for at least during that time OK so that's going on as 728 01:03:51,81 --> 01:03:57,03 soon as that's complete I know there are some other amenities that still need to be 729 01:03:57,04 --> 01:04:02,75 done with respect to the kiosks or the or things like that but but. 730 01:04:03,94 --> 01:04:07,88 We have had some negative comments about you know first of all we put the 731 01:04:07,89 --> 01:04:12,68 barricades up to keep people off the tracks when we were still working there and 732 01:04:12,69 --> 01:04:17,36 then they moved the barricades off to the side when they come through and then we 733 01:04:17,37 --> 01:04:18,93 had the fence it off and that was 734 01:04:18,94 --> 01:04:25,76 a requirement of mynd. Safety So it's just one of those 735 01:04:25,77 --> 01:04:27,45 things where we have to deal with it for 736 01:04:27,46 --> 01:04:33,73 a period of time but we're almost done. I do agree with that with the 737 01:04:34,09 --> 01:04:36,03 statement of you know it really is 738 01:04:36,04 --> 01:04:40,96 a fine facility to go on for it's not just bikes there's 739 01:04:40,97 --> 01:04:47,24 a lot of baby carriages on that on that. Trail as well. 740 01:04:48,30 --> 01:04:54,09 So I think you'll see that being completed shortly maybe 741 01:04:54,10 --> 01:05:01,09 a comment skeptic yesterday. And it's just then the 742 01:05:01,10 --> 01:05:05,24 information on them I think that needs to still be provided I think that's. 743 01:05:09,00 --> 01:05:14,75 Maybe a comment on our highway fifty nine Project which is really our M.M.U. 744 01:05:14,76 --> 01:05:18,82 Project for water main replacement. It looks like 745 01:05:18,86 --> 01:05:24,24 a Christmas tree in the boulevard and the east side of the street so the utilities 746 01:05:24,25 --> 01:05:30,97 that have been located the issue if you been up to speed yet is the issue is that 747 01:05:30,98 --> 01:05:31,23 there's 748 01:05:31,24 --> 01:05:38,23 a fiber that's located there that is not locatable and just 749 01:05:38,24 --> 01:05:44,74 came in again and tried to locate it and couldn't locate it and so there they have 750 01:05:44,75 --> 01:05:46,63 a boring machine that's going to put in 751 01:05:46,86 --> 01:05:53,33 a new line that's all capable. But they can't cut off because 752 01:05:53,34 --> 01:05:58,30 over the existing line to the new line and tear up till it's proved through nine 753 01:05:58,31 --> 01:05:59,47 one one because it's 754 01:05:59,48 --> 01:06:05,89 a nine one one frame favor so the contractor that we've got working there 755 01:06:06,20 --> 01:06:11,83 can't work there until that's done cutover has been done and it's going to be early 756 01:06:11,84 --> 01:06:16,88 September before they make that cut over and I'll say probably the second week in 757 01:06:16,89 --> 01:06:22,49 September by the time it's done so the contractors had to move on to different 758 01:06:22,89 --> 01:06:27,94 a different project and Granite Falls and will take at least two weeks to do that 759 01:06:27,95 --> 01:06:34,25 project weather permitting. So there's nothing we can do about it it's going to be 760 01:06:34,26 --> 01:06:40,40 that the way it is we can't go in there and put that meaning in without all of that 761 01:06:40,66 --> 01:06:47,41 being done and to. To. Keep that nine one one flavor 762 01:06:47,73 --> 01:06:53,55 operational So that's if you've seen stuff going on or not seen stuff going on with 763 01:06:53,56 --> 01:07:00,19 all the flags that's that's what it is. There's working on the project 764 01:07:00,20 --> 01:07:06,73 from here to Vesta and all that material comes from this plant 765 01:07:07,40 --> 01:07:13,28 and so we have improved our seventh Street as much as we can we left it on the 766 01:07:13,29 --> 01:07:17,58 couple inches they're going to be hauling all of their material out of the plant to 767 01:07:17,59 --> 01:07:23,11 that road we'll do an inspection of the roadway in and put the final lift about so 768 01:07:23,12 --> 01:07:23,60 it's done 769 01:07:23,61 --> 01:07:28,75 a little bit you can see we've had some significant rainfall in the last two weeks 770 01:07:28,76 --> 01:07:33,26 they've had over seven inches of rainfall and when we say weather permitting on 771 01:07:33,27 --> 01:07:39,32 projects this is the weather and permitting that really kind of shut things down 772 01:07:39,33 --> 01:07:44,83 for a while the Independence Park Project is on hold until that can firm up 773 01:07:44,84 --> 01:07:47,63 a little bit for the contractor comes in to do 774 01:07:47,64 --> 01:07:54,02 a dream that. They're pumping water and they're at seven Street right now. And it's 775 01:07:54,06 --> 01:08:00,60 on the roadway because the roadway is two inches below the curb and gutter so it's 776 01:08:00,61 --> 01:08:00,89 just 777 01:08:00,90 --> 01:08:07,77 a process that we have to do to get rid of that extra water. So weather permitting 778 01:08:07,78 --> 01:08:14,73 will be continuing with their projects starting mid September. One additional 779 01:08:14,74 --> 01:08:21,30 comment on the You may want to comment on this to rob me with you know last 780 01:08:21,31 --> 01:08:23,28 Wednesday night C.J. 781 01:08:23,65 --> 01:08:29,43 Three and I plus and just going out what neighborhood and twenty five years ago 782 01:08:30,13 --> 01:08:30,76 that would have been 783 01:08:30,77 --> 01:08:36,71 a state of emergency we would have had street flooding we would have had sanitary 784 01:08:36,72 --> 01:08:40,82 sewer backups failures waste water still kind of 785 01:08:40,83 --> 01:08:45,98 a testimony to the infrastructure improvements that we've made over the past twenty 786 01:08:45,99 --> 01:08:52,88 five years or flood control and or. Are keeping 787 01:08:52,89 --> 01:08:58,61 our sanitary sewer system away from our storm sources that really has been 788 01:08:58,62 --> 01:09:05,24 a huge difference in the Tiger Lake project that we did. We were manically have 789 01:09:05,25 --> 01:09:11,72 been closing the Saratoga Street and James and all the shipper those areas adjacent 790 01:09:11,73 --> 01:09:18,60 to that pond where it did go into the edition of the area for back up the one 791 01:09:18,61 --> 01:09:25,51 pump the four operational and. The people in those water give 792 01:09:25,52 --> 01:09:30,79 us a call and say said the hokum it's not being detained for 793 01:09:31,05 --> 01:09:37,32 a very long period of time and we said we only had one pump going the whole time we 794 01:09:37,36 --> 01:09:43,88 operate those pumps polar supply for those pumps is on the demand bases so as soon 795 01:09:43,89 --> 01:09:49,91 this an additional pump kicks on you pay for that overtime for the next year for 796 01:09:49,92 --> 01:09:56,48 that the man charge for that second pump so we are very careful at what those 797 01:09:56,49 --> 01:10:02,80 stage elevations are for that for the pump station. Understanding that we don't 798 01:10:02,81 --> 01:10:08,65 want flooding in the street or in basements we did have an impact still at the 799 01:10:08,66 --> 01:10:15,13 wastewater plant because of can you know we still have infiltration. We just have 800 01:10:16,10 --> 01:10:23,00 way less than there used to be. Some pumps are running all Raton double some 801 01:10:23,01 --> 01:10:29,86 pumps there are in certain neighborhoods so. But we had so that we had over 802 01:10:29,87 --> 01:10:35,39 seven inches of rain that my place. Just to add on to that plan to 803 01:10:35,40 --> 01:10:41,31 a what you said about you know the city is this work diligently and I think very 804 01:10:41,32 --> 01:10:47,65 effectively to take care of our plumbing and sanitary in the storm sewer but think 805 01:10:47,66 --> 01:10:51,20 about the fact that especially in my neighborhood where the houses were built in 806 01:10:51,37 --> 01:10:58,26 nineteen fifteen through ninety. Also those are our pipe missions just slayed you 807 01:10:58,27 --> 01:11:00,81 know how to joints so they're effectively 808 01:11:00,82 --> 01:11:05,85 a drain tile that happens to carry sanitary waste and if you think about the linear 809 01:11:05,86 --> 01:11:11,89 footage My lot of sixty six feet wide My bet is that I've got almost sixty feet 810 01:11:11,93 --> 01:11:17,72 from my house to. Where it goes to. Sealed 811 01:11:18,44 --> 01:11:18,95 P.V.C. 812 01:11:18,96 --> 01:11:24,61 Pipe every house has that sulfur all the linear footage of city sanitary we have 813 01:11:24,62 --> 01:11:28,83 private that are still training that we don't have the ability to fix other than on 814 01:11:28,84 --> 01:11:34,67 an as needed basis so to say that we still have I and I infiltration and flow the 815 01:11:34,68 --> 01:11:39,78 infiltration is that is that Barry tile I'm taking water out of the ground and 816 01:11:39,82 --> 01:11:40,54 that's going to take 817 01:11:40,55 --> 01:11:44,03 a long time to go away because those are going to be replacements or mitigation of 818 01:11:44,04 --> 01:11:49,37 the individual's rights when the very major poises has been goes to work at home on 819 01:11:49,69 --> 01:11:56,31 in the thirty three that we had significant flooding they have deep 820 01:11:57,05 --> 01:11:59,45 but we are in the process of developing 821 01:11:59,46 --> 01:12:04,100 a project for that area both through the streets and through the storm sewer will 822 01:12:05,01 --> 01:12:10,54 be there for problems so we do identify those areas that we have 823 01:12:10,55 --> 01:12:17,14 a significant regular problem but it's really reduced from what I will say that 824 01:12:17,15 --> 01:12:20,94 When's last Wednesday night when we got that first four have five inches of rain I 825 01:12:20,95 --> 01:12:24,93 came back from Duluth got back into town at quarter after nine and I drove through 826 01:12:24,94 --> 01:12:29,87 the monsoon from Painesville into marshall and it lightened up just about it Green 827 01:12:29,88 --> 01:12:30,57 Valley it was 828 01:12:30,58 --> 01:12:34,51 a little bit lighter in Marshall but I came across thirty three and I'll close 829 01:12:34,52 --> 01:12:38,17 seven or seven and. There was 830 01:12:38,18 --> 01:12:43,09 a little bit of water but not bad I was driving down the center of the street and 831 01:12:43,10 --> 01:12:48,44 then when I got to the intersection of West Marshall Street and Seventh street that 832 01:12:48,45 --> 01:12:52,22 used to be one of the flood areas in the heavy rain I remember that house on the 833 01:12:52,23 --> 01:12:57,55 corner of and after it's actually in the hot ninety three the water was hitting the 834 01:12:57,56 --> 01:13:03,25 floor joists for the main floor and there were small puddle so they got so Google 835 01:13:03,26 --> 01:13:09,47 tribute to what's been done. With. Any other questions for God Well just to 836 01:13:09,48 --> 01:13:12,14 reiterate what you said Bob as someone who lived through 837 01:13:12,21 --> 01:13:16,42 a great strawman sort of backup it is very important we keep that infrastructure up 838 01:13:17,22 --> 01:13:18,79 and I do know you're the mayor thanks 839 01:13:18,80 --> 01:13:25,60 a culture you know. That I do but I you know it is very important because you 840 01:13:25,61 --> 01:13:28,97 fed up because that is something that it it hurts the values of your homes and 841 01:13:28,98 --> 01:13:32,44 hurts the image of your city yet when we have whole neighborhoods flooded with 842 01:13:32,45 --> 01:13:36,75 sewage and I my wife actually comments during that rainstorm would not take any 843 01:13:36,76 --> 01:13:41,25 average She still remembers us trying to throw stuff up the stairs to get flooded. 844 01:13:42,26 --> 01:13:48,30 And it wasn't water that was coming down. Anything else or Glenn Dennis 845 01:13:49,72 --> 01:13:53,15 thank you Mayor just kind of following up with council member to Creamer said I had 846 01:13:53,16 --> 01:13:58,28 some meetings with red rose sun on this sodium chloride reduction matter the 847 01:13:58,32 --> 01:14:01,31 resolution is being drafted will try to get that out so you have 848 01:14:01,32 --> 01:14:05,31 a chance to look at it we're hoping to be able to come to the September twelve 849 01:14:05,31 --> 01:14:07,74 meeting and I know nine million dollars is 850 01:14:07,75 --> 01:14:13,21 a big price tag but it's cheaper to pre-treat the water at the treatment plant I 851 01:14:13,21 --> 01:14:17,98 know that I talked to Bob and more also and I you know city had retained Bolton I'm 852 01:14:17,99 --> 01:14:22,98 a council and I believe that they are saying the if you have to put on the 853 01:14:22,99 --> 01:14:27,53 post-treatment treated at the treatment plant that maybe one hundred twenty nine 854 01:14:27,54 --> 01:14:33,80 million dollars tag so and there you know the M.P.C. 855 01:14:33,81 --> 01:14:34,38 Has issued 856 01:14:34,39 --> 01:14:39,61 a twenty twenty four deadline we have to be at that sodium chloride level. Then 857 01:14:39,62 --> 01:14:44,68 after serious reduction so there the sooner we get out at the better so hopefully 858 01:14:44,69 --> 01:14:48,71 we'll get some positive news within the next week or two from the ground right to 859 01:14:48,72 --> 01:14:54,23 grant folks that then know what seven million dollars or eighty percent of the 860 01:14:54,24 --> 01:14:58,26 actual bid and so I you know I think we're still looking at that one point three 861 01:14:58,27 --> 01:15:01,65 million dollars at the high end hopefully we can get a bit 862 01:15:01,66 --> 01:15:06,81 a little lower than that so but it's still eighty percent so even at the nine point 863 01:15:06,82 --> 01:15:13,43 three million seven million it's still less than the eighty percent so where. It 864 01:15:13,57 --> 01:15:18,75 I think you know I think Brad was surprised that they were on the consideration 865 01:15:18,76 --> 01:15:25,67 list for some funding assistance so that one more thing and there this I wrote so 866 01:15:25,94 --> 01:15:32,13 it isn't all or nothing when you get seven million or the TO BE percent 867 01:15:32,60 --> 01:15:38,20 or nothing it isn't like OK we'll find you by three million or five million if we 868 01:15:38,21 --> 01:15:43,76 get approved it's the seven million or eighty percent and then I know I just did 869 01:15:43,77 --> 01:15:47,48 are some timelines once you get that approval then you have to have the plans and 870 01:15:47,49 --> 01:15:53,95 specs. In short order for you to. Twenty eight hundred construction. 871 01:15:55,04 --> 01:16:02,01 Or anything else this GENEVER twenty four that. Is the pending 872 01:16:02,02 --> 01:16:08,15 agenda items will then Jeanette number twenty five the information items cleaned 873 01:16:08,19 --> 01:16:14,32 building permits and the upcoming meetings as agenda number twenty six 874 01:16:15,41 --> 01:16:19,90 which brings us to gender number twenty seven to consider adjourning the speeding. 875 01:16:21,56 --> 01:16:28,47 Second motion by David seconded by Jim discussion.
