Oh that would make 69 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:28,240 sense. Thank you. Okay. Now do we need to approve the budget or just jump to the 70 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:35,040 run report. Jump to run enough food. Okay. Yeah. The 2027 budget will begin working 71 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:46,560 on that next month. Yep, it's all I have. Chief, the run report. 72 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:15,240 We have a few grass barriers earlier this spring, but that's not really how I... Okay. 73 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Webels of the capital of reserve. 74 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:40,240 Get that up here. So the capital reserve, is right now at all, three hundred and six thousand. 75 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:48,720 A little player fund, all 31,000. And when we're done with this next item, we can make the 76 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:55,480 talk a little bit. That level will look like you're shortly. So. 77 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:07,480 Are there any questions on our capital reserve? And if not, the next item is the error facts. 78 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:23,240 We ordered the error facts after this morning, we got them ordered. It was 14,000 less than a bit of issue. 14,000 less than the 79 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:36,240 bid you give us. Yeah. We're going to release the, you know, evolve their fund development piece to buy it and stuff them. And release also for $100,000 a year. 80 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:43,240 So it's going to be ready to go on that. 81 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,240 Otherwise, that's going to be about 225, I believe. Okay. 82 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:56,240 Out of the capital, 20 years, we're going to order at 2.6, I think. 83 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,240 And that bill will come to probably a number of reasons. 84 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:12,240 Okay. So then with that dollar amount out of the capital reserves, and then the second half tax levy coming in December, 85 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:27,240 that fund will probably have, I got to add 14 now on this number. It'll probably have about 150, 152,000 in that reserve fund on January. 86 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:36,240 Now, we mentioned it a little bit when you order those air packs, but the capital reserve fund is usually used for buying trucks. 87 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:43,240 And policy, is anything over $5,000 supposed to be out of the capital. 88 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,240 Yeah. Okay. 89 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:56,240 It just brings that fund down substantially. 90 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,240 We are sitting pretty good for trucks right now. 91 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:05,240 I'm having truck that possibly is a second finger, which doesn't roll very often. 92 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:12,240 And I have a hard time justifying $300,000 for truck that rolls to the street policy. 93 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,240 We haven't been to late coming anyway with tangers. 94 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,240 It's just our investigation for me is fine. 95 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:29,240 Are there any other questions for the chief or any of us? 96 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:40,240 The next meeting is scheduled for February 8, 2027. 97 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,240 And then is there any other business? 98 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,240 Kurt. 99 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,240 Thank you, Mayor, for all the time. 100 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,240 And Kurt Anderson, Lee Ray Township. 101 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:58,240 Once again, thank you for the opportunity to speak with you about our prior coverage. 102 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:04,240 As those of you who were here at the June meeting may recall, 103 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:15,240 Lee Ray Township approached the Fire Department City Council to request an expansion of their coverage district into Lee Ray Township. 104 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:24,240 Help us with some budget issues that we're having with one of our other providers. 105 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:38,240 As is often the case in negotiations, you know, you shoot for the SARS and then you perhaps have to negotiate back down to what is going to be more realistic or palatable or even people. 106 00:09:39,240 --> 00:10:05,240 There are a number of concerns expressed about response times because of the large coverage area that the Fire Department is already under taking and providing adequate coverage to residents in Lee Ray Township in the affected areas if the decision is made to increase coverage for us. 107 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:15,240 At this time, and then also in the conversation, the discussion revolved around perhaps approaching that in the next contract here in 2027. 108 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:26,240 So a little bit of background, the affected area that we're talking about is currently covered by Madison Lake Fire Department. 109 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:37,240 We have a new contract with them that was put together with no input whatsoever from the townships, but basically an ultimatum that was delivered to us. 110 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:53,240 It's quite punitive in nature and so leaving all of that aside, I understand the concerns about response times, providing adequate coverage and things of that nature. 111 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,240 We're just simply looking for any help that we can get. 112 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:16,240 One of the issues that we're having with the new contract which will go into effect January 1st, 2027 with Madison Lake Fire Department is they put a two-year limit on reevaluations of the terms of the contract. 113 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:32,240 So once this thing goes into effect January 1st, regardless of what happens in our township with fire coverage, et cetera, we're not going to have an opportunity to even revisit it until January 29th. 114 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:52,240 So from that standpoint, we would respectfully request that the City Council and the Fire Board approve an increase of our coverage area to just simply include the western half of section 12 clear aid township. 115 00:11:53,240 --> 00:12:02,240 If my research is correct, there is not a single residence in that half of section, but nobody's living there. 116 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,240 And you're already covering the eastern half of that section. 117 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:21,240 We don't believe that it represents any kind of serious threat to health safety or welfare to the residents of any of the coverage area. 118 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,240 We're just simply adding that half of section to the coverage area. 119 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:34,240 We also realize that there's maybe some complications involved with the formulas for how the townships are obtained for things. 120 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:40,240 And we certainly don't want to interrupt that or disrupt that in any way. 121 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:59,240 The area township would be happy to have our attorney put together an addendum to the fire contract that simply allows you to add that half of section to the coverage area. 122 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:07,240 We would pay additional over and above everything that we're paying already for that coverage in that half of section. 123 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,240 So it'll affect none of the other townships or the city from that standpoint. 124 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,240 And it will be in a step in the right direction to help us. 125 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:27,240 The new formula that they've instituted divides the budget up into the responsibility to the budget up into three areas. 126 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:39,240 Assess property value based on county valuations, the frequency of calls to the affected area, and then the total geographic area of coverage. 127 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:46,240 There's some internal biases built into that that typically favor the city of Madison Lake. 128 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:53,240 And if we can just reduce our coverage area a little bit with them, it's going to help us with that formula. 129 00:13:54,240 --> 00:14:15,240 I probably don't need to go into the numbers for everybody, but just as a thumbnail example, we pay more to have one section of our township covered by Madison Lake than we do for eight sections with two other fire departments. 130 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:23,240 It's almost ten times the cost, and they're just not interested in having any time to add a lot of all of it. 131 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:38,240 Kurt, I believe that the city of Madison Lake just received a federal grant for improving certain things around town. 132 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:47,240 I know the storm sewers and the step for one, but it made it sound like their fire station or equipment could also be upgraded. 133 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,240 Is that true? 134 00:14:49,240 --> 00:15:03,240 I can't speak with any level of expertise to how the grant money is going to be distributed. 135 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240 I know that the city of Madison Lake is pretty happy. 136 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:12,240 They have just received a $1,000,000 or $1,000,000 gift. 137 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:20,240 I'm sure in that grant that there are tribal stipulations about what it can be used for and what it can't be used for. 138 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:29,240 I know there's a lot of chatter on Facebook of which I'm not a part of. 139 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,240 I'm a member of Facebook. I pay a little and no attention to what goes on there. 140 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:44,240 But there's a lot of gossip on there about fixing bottles and pre-going streets and things of that nature with it. 141 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:58,240 The fact remains that the city of Madison Lake, the residents of Madison Lake, well, 150 people approximately are consuming over 45% of the services of the fire department. 142 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:07,240 One quarter of the rate township is covering 21% of the fire department. 143 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:13,240 Our entire township only has 850 residents. 144 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:20,240 We start breaking it down. We're spending a tremendous amount of money. 145 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:26,240 I know it's not just about money. It's about coverage. It's about projection. It's about expectations. 146 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:36,240 We wish that they were more accountable and willing to enter into a reasonable dialogue with their other partners. 147 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,240 But they clearly demonstrated that that's not the case. 148 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:52,240 I'm not a fan of bringing up this one issue at any more meetings, I guess. 149 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:58,240 But in that regard, if things have changed, we need to address it. 150 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,240 How did the other council members feel?
