WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:14.720 I'd like to introduce you to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic 00:14.720 --> 00:21.020 for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for 00:21.020 --> 00:22.020 all. 00:22.020 --> 00:30.620 Tonight is the judge meeting with the fire board. 00:30.620 --> 00:39.300 Before the fire board starts, City Council needs to take a little item into consideration. 00:39.300 --> 00:41.540 Andy's not here tonight. 00:41.540 --> 00:47.980 He wanted me, or him and Clinton talked about it in the point of me, Mayor Pro Tem. 00:47.980 --> 00:55.500 I need the rest of the council members to vote on that at this time. 00:55.500 --> 01:09.020 So, so, so, so, second, third, here, here, that sounds like motion is carried at this 01:09.020 --> 01:10.020 time. 01:10.020 --> 01:21.620 We will call the township fire board forward, and I'll start with their meeting. 01:21.620 --> 01:28.020 You should have in a packet, I'm guessing you received the minutes from the last two 01:28.020 --> 01:29.020 meetings. 01:29.020 --> 01:34.780 Do you need them read tonight, or can we just approve them as such? 01:34.780 --> 01:39.220 I'll make a motion to approve the minutes of the last two meetings. 01:39.220 --> 01:40.220 Have a motion. 01:40.220 --> 01:41.220 Do I have a second? 01:41.220 --> 01:42.220 Second. 01:42.220 --> 01:45.620 We'll have a motion and a second. 01:45.620 --> 01:48.620 All in favor say aye. 01:48.620 --> 01:49.620 Aye. 01:49.620 --> 01:50.620 Aye. 01:50.620 --> 01:51.620 All right. 01:51.620 --> 01:57.060 Sarah had you all signing in, I assume everybody from the, that's on the fire board have signed 01:57.060 --> 02:02.620 in, your name and representative, okay. 02:02.620 --> 02:13.020 So, we didn't move forward on the run report, or, yeah, the run report, but we've got a 02:13.020 --> 02:14.780 good look at the budget quicker. 02:14.780 --> 02:15.780 No. 02:15.780 --> 02:17.780 I got the run. 02:17.780 --> 02:18.780 There we go. 02:18.780 --> 02:19.780 There we go. 02:19.780 --> 02:20.780 The budget. 02:20.780 --> 02:21.780 Yeah. 02:21.780 --> 02:24.900 So, a task in the packet is the budget through June 30th. 02:24.900 --> 02:30.340 So, it's exactly 50% of the year, just one point out two quick things here. 02:30.340 --> 02:33.660 The expenses are like 41% of the budget. 02:33.660 --> 02:34.660 They're not 50. 02:34.660 --> 02:37.380 So, that means it's under budget a little bit. 02:37.380 --> 02:44.100 And they do want to point out that the first half tax levy did come in, so that you see 02:44.100 --> 02:46.100 that included in this budget report. 02:46.100 --> 02:49.700 Sorry, I thought I had it on the screen. 02:49.700 --> 02:53.700 That's even worse. 02:53.700 --> 02:55.700 And there we go. 02:56.700 --> 03:01.980 So, the first half tax levy was a little over 63, I don't know. 03:01.980 --> 03:06.100 I might have anything to add, I guess, the budget looks good. 03:06.100 --> 03:07.100 No, I don't know. 03:07.100 --> 03:08.100 We're just super good questions. 03:08.100 --> 03:09.100 I don't know. 03:09.100 --> 03:10.100 I don't know. 03:10.100 --> 03:11.100 I don't know. 03:11.100 --> 03:12.100 I don't know what to say. 03:12.100 --> 03:13.100 So, I don't know. 03:13.100 --> 03:14.100 I don't know. 03:14.100 --> 03:15.100 I don't know. 03:15.100 --> 03:16.100 I don't know. 03:16.100 --> 03:17.100 I don't know. 03:17.100 --> 03:18.100 I don't know. 03:18.100 --> 03:19.100 I don't know. 03:19.100 --> 03:20.100 I don't know. 03:20.100 --> 03:21.100 I don't know. 03:21.100 --> 03:22.100 I don't know. 03:22.100 --> 03:23.100 I don't know. 03:23.100 --> 03:24.100 I don't know. 03:24.100 --> 03:25.100 I don't know. 03:25.100 --> 03:33.820 Boy, I don't know. 03:33.820 --> 03:37.300 I don't know. 03:37.300 --> 04:02.560 So there have been a reduction in calls the part-time has no year to date is there 04:02.560 --> 04:13.920 reduction in calls and then you don't want to get started. Oh that would make 04:13.920 --> 04:28.240 sense. Thank you. Okay. Now do we need to approve the budget or just jump to the 04:28.240 --> 04:35.040 run report. Jump to run enough food. Okay. Yeah. The 2027 budget will begin working 04:35.040 --> 04:46.560 on that next month. Yep, it's all I have. Chief, the run report. 04:58.240 --> 05:15.240 We have a few grass barriers earlier this spring, but that's not really how I... Okay. 05:15.240 --> 05:21.640 Webels of the capital of reserve. 05:21.640 --> 05:40.240 Get that up here. So the capital reserve, is right now at all, three hundred and six thousand. 05:40.240 --> 05:48.720 A little player fund, all 31,000. And when we're done with this next item, we can make the 05:48.720 --> 05:55.480 talk a little bit. That level will look like you're shortly. So. 05:55.480 --> 06:07.480 Are there any questions on our capital reserve? And if not, the next item is the error facts. 06:07.480 --> 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 06:23.240 --> 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. 06:36.240 --> 06:43.240 So it's going to be ready to go on that. 06:43.240 --> 06:49.240 Otherwise, that's going to be about 225, I believe. Okay. 06:49.240 --> 06:56.240 Out of the capital, 20 years, we're going to order at 2.6, I think. 06:56.240 --> 07:02.240 And that bill will come to probably a number of reasons. 07:02.240 --> 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, 07:12.240 --> 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. 07:27.240 --> 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. 07:37.240 --> 07:43.240 And policy, is anything over $5,000 supposed to be out of the capital. 07:43.240 --> 07:45.240 Yeah. Okay. 07:45.240 --> 07:56.240 It just brings that fund down substantially. 07:56.240 --> 07:59.240 We are sitting pretty good for trucks right now. 07:59.240 --> 08:05.240 I'm having truck that possibly is a second finger, which doesn't roll very often. 08:05.240 --> 08:12.240 And I have a hard time justifying $300,000 for truck that rolls to the street policy. 08:12.240 --> 08:18.240 We haven't been to late coming anyway with tangers. 08:18.240 --> 08:23.240 It's just our investigation for me is fine. 08:23.240 --> 08:29.240 Are there any other questions for the chief or any of us? 08:29.240 --> 08:40.240 The next meeting is scheduled for February 8, 2027. 08:40.240 --> 08:44.240 And then is there any other business? 08:44.240 --> 08:46.240 Kurt. 08:47.240 --> 08:49.240 Thank you, Mayor, for all the time. 08:49.240 --> 08:52.240 And Kurt Anderson, Lee Ray Township. 08:52.240 --> 08:58.240 Once again, thank you for the opportunity to speak with you about our prior coverage. 08:58.240 --> 09:04.240 As those of you who were here at the June meeting may recall, 09:04.240 --> 09:15.240 Lee Ray Township approached the Fire Department City Council to request an expansion of their coverage district into Lee Ray Township. 09:15.240 --> 09:24.240 Help us with some budget issues that we're having with one of our other providers. 09:24.240 --> 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. 09:39.240 --> 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. 10:05.240 --> 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. 10:15.240 --> 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. 10:26.240 --> 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. 10:37.240 --> 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. 10:53.240 --> 10:56.240 We're just simply looking for any help that we can get. 10:56.240 --> 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. 11:16.240 --> 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. 11:33.240 --> 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. 11:53.240 --> 12:02.240 If my research is correct, there is not a single residence in that half of section, but nobody's living there. 12:02.240 --> 12:08.240 And you're already covering the eastern half of that section. 12:11.240 --> 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. 12:21.240 --> 12:25.240 We're just simply adding that half of section to the coverage area. 12:25.240 --> 12:34.240 We also realize that there's maybe some complications involved with the formulas for how the townships are obtained for things. 12:34.240 --> 12:40.240 And we certainly don't want to interrupt that or disrupt that in any way. 12:41.240 --> 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. 12:59.240 --> 13:07.240 We would pay additional over and above everything that we're paying already for that coverage in that half of section. 13:07.240 --> 13:12.240 So it'll affect none of the other townships or the city from that standpoint. 13:12.240 --> 13:17.240 And it will be in a step in the right direction to help us. 13:17.240 --> 13:27.240 The new formula that they've instituted divides the budget up into the responsibility to the budget up into three areas. 13:28.240 --> 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. 13:39.240 --> 13:46.240 There's some internal biases built into that that typically favor the city of Madison Lake. 13:46.240 --> 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. 13:54.240 --> 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. 14:16.240 --> 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. 14:23.240 --> 14:38.240 Kurt, I believe that the city of Madison Lake just received a federal grant for improving certain things around town. 14:39.240 --> 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. 14:47.240 --> 14:49.240 Is that true? 14:49.240 --> 15:03.240 I can't speak with any level of expertise to how the grant money is going to be distributed. 15:03.240 --> 15:06.240 I know that the city of Madison Lake is pretty happy. 15:06.240 --> 15:12.240 They have just received a $1,000,000 or $1,000,000 gift. 15:12.240 --> 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. 15:20.240 --> 15:29.240 I know there's a lot of chatter on Facebook of which I'm not a part of. 15:29.240 --> 15:34.240 I'm a member of Facebook. I pay a little and no attention to what goes on there. 15:34.240 --> 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. 15:44.240 --> 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. 15:59.240 --> 16:07.240 One quarter of the rate township is covering 21% of the fire department. 16:07.240 --> 16:13.240 Our entire township only has 850 residents. 16:13.240 --> 16:20.240 We start breaking it down. We're spending a tremendous amount of money. 16:20.240 --> 16:26.240 I know it's not just about money. It's about coverage. It's about projection. It's about expectations. 16:27.240 --> 16:36.240 We wish that they were more accountable and willing to enter into a reasonable dialogue with their other partners. 16:36.240 --> 16:41.240 But they clearly demonstrated that that's not the case. 16:42.240 --> 16:52.240 I'm not a fan of bringing up this one issue at any more meetings, I guess. 16:52.240 --> 16:58.240 But in that regard, if things have changed, we need to address it. 16:58.240 --> 17:01.240 How did the other council members feel? 17:01.240 --> 17:06.240 I think he's been tabled until another time. 17:07.240 --> 17:14.240 Would you encourage the rate township to have their attorney put a draft together to review? 17:14.240 --> 17:18.240 There's no harm in having a draft, something to look at to consider. 17:18.240 --> 17:19.240 Yeah. 17:19.240 --> 17:29.240 You mentioned it in a section that we can't recall at where it is or anything. 17:29.240 --> 17:33.240 So a little more information if you would come forward with? 17:33.240 --> 17:34.240 Sure. 17:35.240 --> 17:37.240 So. 17:37.240 --> 17:40.240 Perhaps the chief thinks are good for that. 17:40.240 --> 17:47.240 I believe there is one resident there, or at least in the former site, I don't think it was one or not. 17:47.240 --> 17:51.240 I guess I'd like to have their input on it also. 17:51.240 --> 18:00.240 Ninety-five percent on the half a second is either a fire mind or a sliver. 18:00.240 --> 18:01.240 Yeah. 18:01.240 --> 18:08.240 I don't have a lot of medicals in there, but I guess I'd like to have one more. 18:08.240 --> 18:13.240 I like having challenges, what their thoughts are. 18:13.240 --> 18:20.240 I don't know if it needs to be a meeting or not, but I think that's... 18:20.240 --> 18:23.240 Let me try to. 18:24.240 --> 18:27.240 Very responsible of you to bring it forward, Kurt. 18:27.240 --> 18:35.240 And I believe that the council should investigate, maybe pursue and then decide on a later time. 18:35.240 --> 18:44.240 But yeah, you're lacking information as far as location, responsibility, a lot of different things that I applaud you for bringing it forward. 18:44.240 --> 18:50.240 That the need within your jurisdiction, I think that's a great thing to do. 18:50.240 --> 18:55.240 But I would suggest that the council investigate more thoroughly. 18:55.240 --> 18:59.240 So Kurt's talking about this half a section right here. 18:59.240 --> 19:02.240 I think that's the area you're already... 19:02.240 --> 19:04.240 Yeah, we're already covering that. 19:04.240 --> 19:08.240 Yeah, it's actually higher than that. 19:08.240 --> 19:11.240 If it was your permission, I'll just send it up here. 19:11.240 --> 19:19.240 You did a great job putting this together for me, but the section line is actually right here. 19:19.240 --> 19:26.240 And so there's a residence here on the county highway. 19:26.240 --> 19:34.240 But once we start going up into that half section there, I don't believe there's a residence in there. 19:34.240 --> 19:37.240 I think there is. 19:37.240 --> 19:40.240 I don't believe it. 19:40.240 --> 19:45.240 They're in whatever section that is below it. 19:45.240 --> 19:47.240 Section 1313. 19:47.240 --> 19:49.240 Right here. 19:49.240 --> 19:53.240 No, your dashner is there. 19:53.240 --> 19:58.240 He's got the little paid store next to the van. 19:58.240 --> 20:03.240 That's not in it either. 20:03.240 --> 20:06.240 Yeah, we can ask a little. 20:06.240 --> 20:13.240 As far as you'd recommend, this is something we should look at. 20:13.240 --> 20:17.240 I don't want to put it in right now, but I think it's worth looking at this. 20:17.240 --> 20:19.240 My opinion on this is your book. 20:19.240 --> 20:25.240 Do you need a motion to pursue it, or are you just going to table after further information? 20:25.240 --> 20:30.240 I think at this time we're going to table it for further information. 20:30.240 --> 20:35.240 We need to inspect or figure out if there is a residence there. 20:35.240 --> 20:42.240 And we also need to know what you and your lawyer think you can afford. 20:42.240 --> 20:46.240 We can afford for coverage for that. 20:46.240 --> 20:55.240 If the council would permit, we'd like to be placed on the agenda for next month's council meeting. 20:55.240 --> 20:59.240 And we will present that information at that time. 20:59.240 --> 21:01.240 Do we need a motion for that? 21:01.240 --> 21:06.240 No, that's your right to apply for on the agenda. 21:06.240 --> 21:10.240 That's your right to just pursue that without a motion from the council. 21:10.240 --> 21:16.240 The only issue is that it will not be a meeting of the voting members of the fire board at that point. 21:16.240 --> 21:21.240 It wouldn't have to be because you're telling us it won't affect them. 21:21.240 --> 21:26.240 I mean, you're going to pick up whatever it costs on that section, correct? 21:26.240 --> 21:27.240 Absolutely. 21:27.240 --> 21:31.240 I don't think it pertains to the base agreement. 21:31.240 --> 21:35.240 This is an addendum to the agreement with just your township. 21:35.240 --> 21:39.240 If it doesn't affect everyone else, I'm not sure. 21:39.240 --> 21:42.240 You can check on the legal ramifications of that. 21:42.240 --> 21:45.240 But I would suggest you come to the next meeting. 21:45.240 --> 21:50.240 We'll pursue with the information available at that time. 21:50.240 --> 21:52.240 Can you just give me an eight for that?

46:36.240 --> 46:56.240 Well, um, the, uh, we're showing a 16 and a half percent increase, but I'm not seeing anything other than the insurance that really goes up. 46:56.240 --> 46:59.240 I guess there is a couple items there. 46:59.240 --> 47:01.240 Down here, do some subscriptions. 47:01.240 --> 47:02.240 Yeah. 47:03.240 --> 47:04.240 Yes. 47:04.240 --> 47:10.240 We're, we're paying into the new GIS system, which includes all of our utilities and everything. 47:10.240 --> 47:13.240 Um, well, then they did the training for us. 47:13.240 --> 47:16.240 So there's going to be an additional cost for that this year. 47:16.240 --> 47:19.240 Um, you said that the utility system? 47:19.240 --> 47:20.240 Well, it's the street. 47:20.240 --> 47:21.240 It's low to the sidewalk. 47:21.240 --> 47:22.240 Fire heavens. 47:22.240 --> 47:23.240 Yeah. 47:23.240 --> 47:27.240 Is that just the payment for this year? 47:27.240 --> 47:31.240 And then the training for this year? 47:31.240 --> 47:32.240 Well, this is. 47:32.240 --> 47:34.240 That will be next year as well, too. 47:34.240 --> 47:39.240 It's not 43,000 for that, because we have other subscriptions. 47:39.240 --> 47:40.240 Right. 47:40.240 --> 47:41.240 Yeah. 47:41.240 --> 47:45.240 But, um, so the street sidewalk portion comes out of this budget. 47:45.240 --> 47:46.240 Water comes out of water. 47:46.240 --> 47:48.240 So it comes out of sewer. 47:48.240 --> 47:49.240 Okay. 47:49.240 --> 47:50.240 That makes sense. 47:50.240 --> 47:52.240 Um, and really, I've done that. 47:52.240 --> 48:00.240 You know, when we went out the insurance, uh, electric went up a little bit, the utility bill. 48:01.240 --> 48:06.240 And we bumped up. 48:06.240 --> 48:11.240 But for cell phones, because cell phones just keep getting more expensive. 48:11.240 --> 48:16.240 Does everybody have horizon or do you have different carriers for everybody? 48:16.240 --> 48:17.240 We have horizon here. 48:17.240 --> 48:19.240 The city's phones are horizon. 48:19.240 --> 48:22.240 Have you looked at any of the other carriers just to see if anything? 48:22.240 --> 48:27.240 I haven't really, because we're with the, it's called the public safety government plan with horizon. 48:27.240 --> 48:28.240 Yeah. 48:29.240 --> 48:33.240 I did say they're getting more expensive, but they are not retail. 48:33.240 --> 48:34.240 Yeah. 48:34.240 --> 48:37.240 I feel like 40 bucks a month. 48:37.240 --> 48:39.240 It's unlimited data. 48:39.240 --> 48:40.240 Yeah. 48:40.240 --> 48:41.240 I got you. 48:41.240 --> 48:42.240 Yeah. 48:42.240 --> 48:46.240 Um, you said North City cleanup or thinking. 48:46.240 --> 48:49.240 I was going to point that out in this budget. 48:49.240 --> 48:52.240 And I believe in the 2026 budget. 48:52.240 --> 48:53.240 Yeah. 48:53.240 --> 48:58.240 We did not put this annual spring cleanup in the budget. 48:58.240 --> 49:02.240 Let me go wait over it last year. 49:02.240 --> 49:03.240 I think we did. 49:03.240 --> 49:06.240 It's average about $4,500. 49:06.240 --> 49:09.240 The last, the last three or four times we did it. 49:09.240 --> 49:15.240 Well, they were quoting us at over six for 26. 49:15.240 --> 49:16.240 Yeah. 49:16.240 --> 49:18.240 Cause we paid that whole thing. 49:18.240 --> 49:21.240 We didn't have the residents pay anything. 49:22.240 --> 49:26.240 I think if we do it again, maybe we should do a charge. 49:26.240 --> 49:32.240 Well, we, we charge for like the electronics because that isn't a difficult cost. 49:32.240 --> 49:33.240 Right. 49:33.240 --> 49:34.240 We're going to bring them up to that. 49:34.240 --> 49:35.240 Yeah. 49:35.240 --> 49:36.240 But your regular stuff. 49:36.240 --> 49:37.240 But the regular stuff. 49:37.240 --> 49:39.240 Like his Nerf guns and stuff. 49:39.240 --> 49:40.240 It doesn't cost. 49:40.240 --> 49:41.240 Okay. 49:41.240 --> 49:42.240 Okay. 49:42.240 --> 49:48.240 If you notice last year's budget went down eight percent or almost 10 percent. 49:48.240 --> 49:55.240 So if you got from the actual from 25 and you got to adopt the 26, you were down $15,000. 49:55.240 --> 49:59.240 So now you're putting some of that back in is what it looks like. 49:59.240 --> 50:04.240 So if you bet, if you balance that out, it was probably only a eight percent from. 50:04.240 --> 50:05.240 Let's see. 50:05.240 --> 50:06.240 What's that? 50:06.240 --> 50:15.240 The 9,000 on 152, the 153 will be eight, nine percent from the actual from 25. 50:16.240 --> 50:20.240 So we need to look back two years. 50:20.240 --> 50:24.240 25 to 26 was a big reduction. 50:24.240 --> 50:26.240 And now you're putting some of that back in. 50:26.240 --> 50:32.240 So the 16.5 is, it looks worse than what it actually is. 50:32.240 --> 50:35.240 If you look at the history of the dollar amount. 50:35.240 --> 50:36.240 Yeah. 50:36.240 --> 50:37.240 Yeah. 50:37.240 --> 50:40.240 And then the other budget is called accounting. 50:40.240 --> 50:44.240 That basically covers a few employees here at City Hall. 50:44.240 --> 50:50.240 And it also covers the cost for the annual city audit, the cost for the city attorney, 50:50.240 --> 50:53.240 the city engineer, you know, things like that. 50:53.240 --> 50:57.240 We put that in here. 50:57.240 --> 51:00.240 You'll see that said five percent increase from last year. 51:00.240 --> 51:12.240 So that's, that's in really good shape. 51:12.240 --> 51:16.240 Last year, only you increased $2,000 on your adopted. 51:16.240 --> 51:20.240 Why would it jump about $14,000? 51:20.240 --> 51:24.240 I added some more for auditing services. 51:24.240 --> 51:28.240 And that's, it's realistic. 51:28.240 --> 51:29.240 Okay. 51:29.240 --> 51:33.240 It just seemed like a big jump. 51:33.240 --> 51:40.240 Yeah. 51:40.240 --> 51:44.240 I was being so late in the night because you're you. 51:44.240 --> 51:45.240 I walked this button. 51:45.240 --> 51:49.240 Texas Oldman, San Diego. 51:49.240 --> 51:51.240 In, in the margins. 51:51.240 --> 51:54.240 I can see, I can see the playing field. 51:54.240 --> 51:55.240 Yeah. 51:55.240 --> 52:03.240 In the margins, you've got increases of 20 and 10 percent in there. 52:03.240 --> 52:06.240 Is that not? 52:06.240 --> 52:11.240 I, I thought we had gone to three percent of press the board on. 52:11.240 --> 52:13.240 The wages are three and a half percent. 52:13.240 --> 52:17.240 This 10 percent you see is health insurance. 52:17.240 --> 52:20.240 Okay. 52:20.240 --> 52:30.240 All right. 52:30.240 --> 52:38.240 I'm looking for a motion to approve the motion to approve resolution 2026 24. 52:38.240 --> 52:39.240 Okay. 52:39.240 --> 52:41.240 Let me explain this quick. 52:41.240 --> 52:44.240 Oh, sorry. 52:44.240 --> 52:47.240 Go ahead yourself. 52:47.240 --> 52:48.240 Yeah. 52:48.240 --> 52:49.240 We're at the general fund. 52:49.240 --> 52:50.240 Sorry. 52:50.240 --> 52:51.240 Motion to approve the budget. 52:51.240 --> 52:53.240 Well, we'll do that in September. 52:53.240 --> 52:54.240 Whatever you need. 52:54.240 --> 52:55.240 I motion that. 52:55.240 --> 52:56.240 We don't need a motion tonight. 52:56.240 --> 52:57.240 There you go. 52:57.240 --> 52:58.240 Motion for nothing. 52:58.240 --> 53:05.240 I'm simmered out. 53:05.240 --> 53:07.240 Now we're at 2624. 53:07.240 --> 53:08.240 Yes. 53:08.240 --> 53:13.240 So our assessment policy that we have for three projects, three utility projects. 53:13.240 --> 53:16.240 Over the years, we've the assessment. 53:16.240 --> 53:23.240 The affected property owners were assessed 30 percent for the cost of water, sanitary, and street. 53:23.240 --> 53:29.240 The storm sewer, there was no assessment with the storm sewer because the town was cut in half. 53:29.240 --> 53:34.240 If you remember that, half the town paid whichever. 53:34.240 --> 53:39.240 But we changed the storm sewer funding a few years back. 53:39.240 --> 53:42.240 So we need to update the assessment policy work. 53:42.240 --> 53:50.240 This new policy states the same as water and sewer that we're going to assess 30 percent of the cost. 53:50.240 --> 54:05.240 And then each of the affected properties will have the same number of them. 54:05.240 --> 54:16.240 So everything in yellow would be the recommended changes. 54:16.240 --> 54:18.240 And this is only affecting storm sewer. 54:18.240 --> 54:27.240 Only storm sewer, correct. 54:27.240 --> 54:28.240 Questions?
