1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,560
I'd like to call the meeting to order at seven o'clock, please stand for the Pledge

2
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,560
of Allegiance.

3
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:25,280
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for

4
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:44,200
which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

5
00:00:44,200 --> 00:01:01,880
At this time I would like to take a quick moment of silence to remember our mayor, Andy.

6
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:29,080
In January of 2021, Andy and I took the oath of office right here.

7
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,760
Did we know what to expect?

8
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,760
Absolutely not.

9
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,440
We had no clue.

10
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,880
We laughed.

11
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,320
He made the comment our first night, will two Andy's maker write?

12
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:44,320
I don't know.

13
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,440
We'll find out, he said.

14
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,640
Andy was a great leader.

15
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,440
He made sound decisions based on what he thought was right for the citizens of Jeansville.

16
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,640
Those shoes cannot be filled.

17
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,360
I spoke with Andy five days before he passed, and we talked about me finishing his term

18
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,360
as a mayor.

19
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:12,640
I had no idea that it would come this soon, but I am honored to try for him.

20
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:20,880
He will be missed and remembered for his quick wit and decision-making, and pity laughs,

21
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,880
Eclintons, dad jokes.

22
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,800
You didn't get that in writing?

23
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,040
I did.

24
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,000
That's why I wanted to hear one.

25
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,440
Make your rest in peace, Andy, and thank you for your service.

26
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,360
That's it.

27
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:51,800
We do have a plaque that I would like to give to Sarah for Andy's time as mayor.

28
00:02:51,800 --> 00:03:12,480
Thank you.

29
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:28,400
Item number two, city council vacancy, and name new mayor.

30
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,640
Yes, according to law, when there is a vacancy, the council needs to declare the vacancy,

31
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,440
and then we need to fill that vacancy.

32
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:43,000
Resolution number 11 tonight calls for the recognizing the vacancy, and then the last

33
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:53,840
portion there, which our mayor, pro tem, and he, Almond, as a term mayor.

34
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Once we declare a vacancy, are we allowed to appoint somebody, or do we need to hold

35
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,600
an election?

36
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,800
If the person has less than half their term left, you can appoint.

37
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,440
If they have more than half, you can choose to either appoint or have an election.

38
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,240
So in this case, we could appoint.

39
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:19,680
You could appoint until the end of December, yeah.

40
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,240
So with that being said, I feel that we should try to appoint somebody.

41
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,240
Yes.

42
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,240
What do we think of that?

43
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, you know, 7-1.

44
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,760
Yep.

45
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:42,320
So, I don't know, put some feelers out there, and there are a couple people I've talked

46
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,920
to that may have showed interest, and we'll discuss that.

47
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,200
Do you need to make a motion for this resolution?

48
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,200
Yeah.

49
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,200
A motion for this resolution.

50
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,200
Second.

51
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Motion and a second, all in favor?

52
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,200
Aye.

53
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,200
Aye.

54
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Aye.

55
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,200
That's for all.

56
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,080
Another thing we should do tonight is determine which council member is going to serve on

57
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,720
the boards that Andy was on.

58
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,080
He was on the utility commission, and he was also on the personnel committee.

59
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,440
So if we can do that tonight, anybody volunteer for that post?

60
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,040
Well, you would ask me to be on the personnel committee, so I will take that one.

61
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,040
What?

62
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:33,040
I think it's okay with everybody on.

63
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,960
What time did the utility board decide, 5.30?

64
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,960
5.30.

65
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Okay.

66
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:50,840
I could, I could do that.

67
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:55,240
If everybody is fine with that, can I have a motion to make those appointments?

68
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,240
Aye.

69
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,240
Aye.

70
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Second.

71
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Motion.

72
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,240
All in favor?

73
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,240
Aye.

74
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,240
Aye.

75
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,240
Aye.

76
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,240
All right.

77
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,240
All right.

78
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:28,360
And then for the new mayor, is that, I didn't see the, you're, you're on the rural level.

79
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,360
That was that first resolution.

80
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,360
Oh, that was it.

81
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,360
Yep.

82
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,360
Okay.

83
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:40,080
All right, moving on.

84
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,160
Approval of the agenda.

85
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,600
Are there any additions or corrections?

86
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,160
I have none.

87
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,160
Motion to approve the agenda is written.

88
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,160
Second.

89
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,160
All in favor?

90
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,160
Aye.

91
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,160
Aye.

92
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,160
Aye.

93
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,160
Aye.

94
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,160
Aye.

95
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,160
Aye.

96
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,160
Aye.

97
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,800
Yep.

98
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,800
Okay.

99
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,160
Consent agenda, yes attached to tonight's consent agenda.

100
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,440
You have a minutes from our last council meeting March, 9 you have the receivables in

101
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,440
the papers.

102
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,640
There's three sets of payables and I just wanted to point out that in these.

103
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,460
I can't pronounce words than I'm going to try.

104
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:23,800
But remember, Joel is here last meeting.

105
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,360
And he talked about a column, they're real

106
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,360
They do it.

107
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,360
Right?

108
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,360
Yeah.

109
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,360
That's in there. You'll see that tonight. There's like 78,000.

110
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Then the first half taxes that we have on certain city properties,

111
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,360
they were due slowly. You'll see that in there.

112
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,360
And then, like I mentioned in the last couple of meetings, you know,

113
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,360
just kind of the time of year where a lot of employees go to training and stuff, so you'll

114
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,360
you'll see some of that in tonight's payables as well.

115
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,360
Do you have anything else, Sarah Joel?

116
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,360
It was April 13th.

117
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,360
What's it?

118
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Oh, I got to fix that on the agenda.

119
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,360
Sarah Joel's gone last week, so I didn't get any help with this.

120
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:25,360
I didn't get to feel free to make anything I got done.

121
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,360
Anything else for the consent agenda? That's all I have.

122
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Motion to approve consent agenda?

123
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,360
All in favor?

124
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Public forum. Do we have anybody here that would like to speak through public forum?

125
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,360
Public forum?

126
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Moving on. There was some communication.

127
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,360
I just handed you a mazing that came from the League of Cities that came in today's mail.

128
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,360
Also, in your packet, there is a um, Sarah Arnold does have this letter,

129
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:11,360
but the City of Pemberton is kind enough to write a letter to the city and to the Arnold family

130
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,360
with their condolences. I thought that was really super cool.

131
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,360
So I wanted to put that in tonight's packet.

132
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:27,360
And that's all I have.

133
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,360
Council reports.

134
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,360
Yeah.

135
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,360
EDA has not met since last time we met.

136
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,360
We'll be leaving tomorrow.

137
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,360
Park Road for the most part of their last meeting.

138
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,360
And we'll move ahead with the window replacement.

139
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,360
There was some fumbling around of the numbers

140
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,360
and where the cash is actually going to come from.

141
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,360
But we have enough money to get the job done.

142
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,360
So we'll see where they're at when we meet.

143
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,360
Again, this month.

144
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,360
I don't have much.

145
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,360
We'll be

146
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,360
filling the police

147
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,360
The police got soon.

148
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,360
Golf course, everything's full steam ahead out there.

149
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,360
I know it's been super busy. I haven't got any numbers or anything from Kevin,

150
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,360
but I know they're very busy out there.

151
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,360
So that is a good thing.

152
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,360
Oh, I'm terrible. 50?

153
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,360
Probably.

154
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,360
Over to that membership over there.

155
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,360
Kyle?

156
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Park Road been on 27th.

157
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,360
We talked about a lot.

158
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,360
We went over some new park equipment that we're potentially going to buy this year.

159
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Doing zip lines or bed swinging bench.

160
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,360
I think we did kind of narrow it down and come to decision,

161
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,360
but I haven't made it official yet.

162
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,360
I think we're fighting stuff like that to hopefully get it on to order this year.

163
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,360
We went over some of the park.

164
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,360
We all have a listing here of all the different

165
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,360
bands, everything.

166
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,360
There was still an opening for Food Truck, which Paul was going to look into.

167
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,360
He can fill in the letter that I can.

168
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,360
There was

169
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,360
Jacob Lurke. He had been contacted by a,

170
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,360
I can't remember the name of him, but just by ship.

171
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,360
Letter P, everybody.

172
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,360
Yes.

173
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,360
They want to give us money to work on our

174
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,360
parks in very dedicated

175
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,360
lanes. We can't get parking equipment from what I understand, but we make those

176
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,360
adventures, lighting, stuff like that. He was going to respond to her

177
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,360
and she was going to come to one of our meetings and give a whole presentation on what she

178
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,360
can do for us and go from there.

179
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,360
And then there was a brief conversation about

180
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,360
changing, remaining a park.

181
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,360
We'll probably end up talking about that a little bit.

182
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,360
We now have a planning commission met on the 29th.

183
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,360
We had, we spent the entire

184
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,360
time talking about how do we pull in more businesses.

185
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,360
A lot of it followed around as

186
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,360
updating our infrastructure.

187
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Potentially, the grants aren't there, so potentially you can change them, maybe just

188
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,360
needs to be proactive. By the lots ourselves, get the infrastructure out

189
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,360
to ourselves and just be ready for these people to come in.

190
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,360
There was a large name that wanted to potentially come to town.

191
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,360
Robert Burns was, as always, talking

192
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,360
very heavily about them. I can't say I disagree with him.

193
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,360
I did tell him, probably for his council sake, if he could get a letter of intent,

194
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,360
it might help move things in the right direction,

195
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,360
that are them waiting for us and us waiting for them.

196
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,360
But essentially, to people being proactive.

197
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,360
Taking a page out of my own makes book, I believe it was.

198
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,360
And just, it's titty supporting it.

199
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,360
And then...

200
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,360
Very good.

201
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,360
Oh, and there's a poem.

202
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,360
One in red, along, since this is up, so they're doing good.

203
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,360
Very good.

204
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,360
Administrator report.

205
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,360
Trying to find it.

206
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:15,360
I can never find this.

207
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:23,360
All right.

208
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,360
In your packet tonight, the April reconciliation is in there

209
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,360
from the bank. You have your cash balance report.

210
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,360
Please, chief, opening. The applications were due by 4.30 today.

211
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,360
Monday, May 11th at 4.30.

212
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,360
So, I'm just letting you know that we did get three applications.

213
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,360
And now that we have actually had a personal committee,

214
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,360
personnel committee should get together and talk about what we want to do next.

215
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,360
I'm just going to flat out recommend we interview all three, you know, for starters.

216
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,360
So, three of us will figure out a time to get together for that.

217
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,360
Okay.

218
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,360
And then over the next, I would like to maybe begin this month,

219
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,360
but I would like us to consider meeting twice a month again as we start rolling with budgets.

220
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:15,360
We have some, Joel's working on getting some bids and stuff for our CIP street

221
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,360
projects and improvements, and I just don't know if we want to wait a whole month.

222
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,360
You know, if he gets good bids, it'd be great to

223
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,360
award them and improve them sooner than later.

224
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,360
So, there's more of a summer that they can do the work.

225
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,360
Is it okay if we meet twice a month?

226
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,360
Typically, it's a second and fourth Monday.

227
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,360
I guess I would like to see that too.

228
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,360
Andy was so good at budgeting that.

229
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,360
I think we're going to miss that.

230
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:49,360
It will help the rest of us get up to speed lower and really meet a bit.

231
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,360
Okay.

232
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Well, if you are okay with that, now here comes the first curveball, right?

233
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,360
We're blind loving at the table here.

234
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,360
The fourth Monday of May is Memorial Day, so we can't meet in the parkour to discuss that.

235
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:11,360
The parkour is meeting Wednesday the 27th and 7th, 25th with the City Council.

236
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Can we meet that night to 27th?

237
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,360
I mean, I'm going to be here anyways though.

238
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,360
Yeah.

239
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,360
True.

240
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,360
We can.

241
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:31,360
Or if we wanted to start the two months in June, I guess.

242
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,360
Either way, I guess it's fine with me.

243
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,360
Unless we have a reason to meet in May.

244
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,360
Well, I mean, if Joe gets a couple of good quotes, it might be worth

245
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:47,360
he'll be able to see if we can just have a quick special meeting maybe for that.

246
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,360
Okay.

247
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,360
And then the other thing, speaking of calendars,

248
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,360
I'm going to be gone at literally half of June.

249
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,360
Be at Willem's wedding and then the league has their conference at the end of June.

250
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,360
So I just put the dates in the memo there when I won't be here.

251
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:10,360
And Ivan's already going to order pizzas and everything for everybody else when I'm not here.

252
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:12,360
He was talking about it this morning.

253
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:14,360
What's the question about what?

254
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:16,360
I can hear everything that says.

255
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:17,360
It's in May.

256
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,360
Or did you start it in June?

257
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:21,360
I think you want to start in June, right?

258
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:23,360
I said I was bringing past some dates.

259
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:26,360
We'll leave it in a second.

260
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:27,360
Okay.

261
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:28,360
Okay.

262
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:29,360
So June.

263
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:35,360
And that's it.

264
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:43,360
The last final thing is the weekly, you know, mailing from the coalition.

265
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:51,360
You're still in session, so I think anyway.

266
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,360
That's all I have.

267
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:57,360
Thank you.

268
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:03,360
Person next to him has a motion to accept his report.

269
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:05,360
That was always my job sitting next to him.

270
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:10,360
Oh, I will make a motion to accept his report.

271
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:11,360
I'll second.

272
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:12,360
All in favor?

273
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:13,360
Aye.

274
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:14,360
All in favor?

275
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:15,360
Aye.

276
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:16,360
All in favor?

277
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:17,360
Aye.

278
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:18,360
All in favor?

279
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:19,360
Aye.

280
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:20,360
All in favor?

281
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:21,360
Aye.

282
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:22,360
Staff reports.

283
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:23,360
Yes.

284
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:24,360
So our department heads tonight will be police and fire.

285
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,360
You do have the first quarter police department report in the packet there.

286
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:32,360
If you have any questions for Mark, if you have any questions for Mike and fire related items,

287
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:33,360
do you guys have anything?

288
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:34,360
I do.

289
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:35,360
Okay.

290
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:39,360
We currently have 13 air packs.

291
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,360
The current three of them are in shock.

292
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:47,360
We've been down a lot of heat for the last few years.

293
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:53,360
We're getting out of the police shop getting fixed.

294
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:57,360
We're the most recent pack we had in there.

295
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:04,360
I can get records over 2004 for 15 years of life.

296
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:07,360
We're looking at getting some new air packs.

297
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:10,360
We do have plenty in our capital country.

298
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:17,360
We do realize that we'll push our next vehicle pack, tanker pack, probably a year, year and

299
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:26,360
a half, but air packs could not be changed to their rules now.

300
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:35,360
We have to have 45 amount of bottles, $4,500 PSI bottles instead of $21 or $20.

301
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:37,360
It was $16.

302
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:42,360
What we have now, we're not set up for that to refill them, so we're going to be in the

303
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:45,360
compressor too, so we're looking at about $220,000.

304
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:50,360
We want to let you know we are looking for that right now.

305
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:55,360
We currently don't feel that our packs are having an ammunition drop all the time.

306
00:19:55,360 --> 00:20:02,360
Trying to have any of them get us through is a good idea.

307
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:07,360
I just wanted you guys to wear that up to my ex.

308
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:14,360
Sometimes summer I'll be coming to you, hopefully I'm asking you to spend some money on the capital

309
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:15,360
countries.

310
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:18,360
You said these were the ones you were using are 14.

311
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,360
To the 24.

312
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,360
24.

313
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:23,360
24.

314
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:26,360
Okay, well then why are you waiting for it?

315
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,360
I mean you're good at flossing that.

316
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,360
It's a lot of money.

317
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:33,360
I understand that.

318
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:47,360
If the 50 year shoe and struggle with one more, taking our time on that kind of stuff.

319
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:52,360
Well I'm guessing you're in the process of pricing and all that.

320
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:59,360
We're going to go off.

321
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:05,360
A lot of you guys are aware that I'm going to be coming to you.

322
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:07,360
Or if they get numbers quickly.

323
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:13,360
Do you want to make a motion for them to spend up to X number of hours on these?

324
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:19,360
What do we have available?

325
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:23,360
Well there's like 300,000 and that fund doesn't like that.

326
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:24,360
Yeah.

327
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:25,360
Three hundred and three or something.

328
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:27,360
Under $100 I would like to see the console.

329
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:28,360
Okay.

330
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:29,360
Yeah.

331
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:30,360
Absolutely.

332
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:31,360
Big number.

333
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:32,360
Yeah.

334
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:33,360
Yeah.

335
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:34,360
Okay.

336
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:50,360
First something like that but fairly important I would say if you get a good deal, I'd be willing

337
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:53,360
to meet outside a normal thing to approve that.

338
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,360
Just to get it done.

339
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:57,360
Sure.

340
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:02,360
Can we look into that?

341
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:06,360
The lead thing on those are coming down a lot.

342
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:07,360
They're in COVID.

343
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:10,360
It was a couple of years before you could see them on the order.

344
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,360
They're not going to take weeks off I guess.

345
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:20,360
We're going to go under it.

346
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:21,360
Thanks Mike.

347
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:25,360
And then Mark did you have anything?

348
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:26,360
No.

349
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,360
You don't want to ask them really to?

350
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:35,360
Is there anything you'd like to point out to us?

351
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:43,360
Where is there anything you'd like to point out to us?

352
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:48,360
No I think you're doing a great job.

353
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:49,360
Thank you.

354
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:54,360
Usually the team has a podium when you're doing a three quarter.

355
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:56,360
That is accurate.

356
00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:01,360
I mean we're happy to see you but I think the less we have to talk to you the better job

357
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:02,360
of doing it.

358
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:06,360
That's why Kyle calls me.

359
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:09,360
Would you like to stand over there?

360
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:15,360
You've got nothing to say.

361
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:16,360
All right.

362
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:23,360
Well thank you gentlemen.

363
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,360
Jamesville night out plans August 6th.

364
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:33,360
Yes let me try to pull that up here Paul.

365
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:38,360
There it is.

366
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:42,360
Okay I'm going to make this really short because quite honestly I want to get home to watch

367
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:43,360
wild.

368
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:49,360
So I think it was in place we did not get the main grant that would get other years.

369
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:53,360
But as it turned out I had a fair amount to carry over.

370
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:57,360
And as it turns out we're going to have a fair amount to carry over this year after all the

371
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:01,360
sponsorships and the other grants and stuff came in so it actually worked out okay.

372
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:05,360
I had to make minimal adjustments on what I was going to do as it worked out okay.

373
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:11,360
You'll see here the list of the artists and the food trucks on the right hand side just

374
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:16,360
kind of listing so more informative than anything.

375
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:19,360
I talked at the park board about having hot dogs.

376
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:24,360
I checked prices just real quick in general ideas.

377
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:26,360
That total amount is at the bottom so it's really pretty minimal.

378
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:28,360
I didn't think it was too bad at all.

379
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:34,360
The only thing is I will be hitting everyone up here to if they can volunteer to serve

380
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:35,360
hot dogs that day.

381
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:44,360
So the plan is to have 200 to 225 hot dogs just to people you know.

382
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:51,360
Each person have one you know limit to one per person limited amount when they're gone.

383
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:52,360
They're gone kind of thing.

384
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,360
We're also having food truck that night.

385
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,360
I talked to Mark from infinity and he said yeah he thought it would be worthwhile.

386
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:01,360
So they're going to be there that night too.

387
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:05,360
So really that's the only other thing I've got while the farmers market.

388
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:09,360
You see the farmers market that's starting eight days weekend with that seemed to be a good

389
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:10,360
weekend to start it.

390
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:17,360
So the only other thing point out July tentatively and I think it's going to stick here is July

391
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:20,360
23rd the plan is to have a pie social.

392
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:22,360
We can get pies from the dam store.

393
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:27,360
There will be a charge for the slice of pie but we're not I'm not doing it to make money on it.

394
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:30,360
I'm doing it just to bring people in.

395
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:35,360
So you know the price will be minimal but you know that kind of thing.

396
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:40,360
It just might bring some people in and give people a chance to eat pie.

397
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:46,360
So I think that's really all I've got unless there's any questions.

398
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:49,360
I just have one question.

399
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,360
What time do your musical acts be done?

400
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:57,360
They start at, no I got to think, they started 5.30 to 8.

401
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:04,360
They run 5.30 up until September and September they start 5.30 because it gets dark so much faster.

402
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:11,360
Yeah so veterans more a great place for to have it.

403
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:17,360
I mean whoever designed it set it up perfectly so it's a really good place to have it.

404
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:24,360
So yeah so I did we did talk Clinton about paying for it and all that and we don't have to go over that now.

405
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:27,360
But I know you had some kind of plan or something so.

406
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:30,360
It's going to go live now.

407
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:35,360
It's getting so yeah otherwise unless anybody has questions.

408
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,360
I think I'm good.

409
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:39,360
All right good.

410
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:40,360
All right thank you.

411
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,360
Thanks for your hard work on this too.

412
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:43,360
Go wild.

413
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:44,360
Exactly.

414
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:51,360
Fill in the vacancy on the EDA.

415
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:58,360
Yes Mike Danbury was on the EDA and he recently resigned just due to scheduling conflicts.

416
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:04,360
His term went through December 31 of 2029.

417
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:18,360
So resolution number 12 identifies that vacancy and then resolution 13 is going to name Alice Fenig who has volunteered to fill his empty seat.

418
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:24,360
You want one motion or two?

419
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:27,360
Probably better do two just to be safe.

420
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:33,360
Motion to approve resolution 2026 12.

421
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,360
Second.

422
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:35,360
All in favor.

423
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:36,360
All right.

424
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:37,360
All right.

425
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:38,360
4.

426
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:43,360
Motion to approve resolution 2026 13.

427
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:44,360
Second.

428
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:45,360
All in favor.

429
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:46,360
All right.

430
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:47,360
All right.

431
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:48,360
All right.

432
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:49,360
Excellent.

433
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:50,360
Madam salar.

434
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:58,360
Public safety increasedrecord coverage from zero.

435
00:27:58,360 --> 00:27:59,360
Okay.

436
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:00,360
Oops.

437
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:01,360
One more.

438
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:02,360
213.

439
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:04,360
Look at that I already skipped one.

440
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:05,360
Okay.

441
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:06,360
It's a first name.

442
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:09,360
Item C terminating Midwest municipal gas agreement.

443
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:12,360
Yes so years ago the the city utility and the city of j sands is assigned into this Mtg agreement.

444
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:19,400
and the city of Jamesville signed into this MMPG agreement with the rest of the consortium

445
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,600
that we have our electric power with.

446
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,240
This municipal gas agency no longer really exists anymore and it's just not needed.

447
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:37,040
So the board of directors and the attorneys at the campus, the CMNPA, are recommending

448
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:43,400
that each utility and each city council in these communities just get rid of the agreement

449
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,120
because we don't need it anymore, they don't exist.

450
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,840
But remember I told you Sarah Joel was gone last week.

451
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,600
I saw this before.

452
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,480
How do you sell Germany?

453
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,200
Tremendly?

454
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:06,720
You thought the computer would have caught that.

455
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,080
You'd have to know how do you spell check, right?

456
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,960
I just looked for the squidly red line, you know.

457
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:18,360
So anyway, Andy, the resolution in your folder decided it smelled correctly.

458
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,360
Okay.

459
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:26,640
I'm motion, we approve resolution 2026, 14, all in favor.

460
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,640
Aye.

461
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:28,640
Aye.

462
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,640
Aye.

463
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Aye.

464
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,640
For all.

465
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,880
Talk about the district coverage for the raid township.

466
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,880
Very good.

467
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,880
Thank you.

468
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:44,360
Ferdinand, for something the raid township, Philos and Mike are both here.

469
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,000
We're going to be supervisors for being built township.

470
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,160
I'm sorry for the raid township.

471
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:57,160
I'd like to begin by expressing the involvement of this.

472
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,320
You were awesome in here.

473
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,320
Thank you.

474
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:18,040
So in the raid township, we have 32 sections, and we have quite a coverage from four different

475
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,040
prior departments.

476
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:25,080
We have MassLink, we have St. Clair, we have Jamesville, and we have Elie, and they each

477
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:31,280
take about eight sections.

478
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:37,680
We've been very pleased with the job that Jamesville prior department has been doing,

479
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:49,720
and we've enjoyed working with the City Council and Fire Board to negotiate and come up with

480
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,960
what we believe are reasonable terms for prior coverage for everyone.

481
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:03,840
Unfortunately, we cannot say that about our relationship with the City, MassLink, and

482
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,840
the Fire Department.

483
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:15,600
They basically just want to issue ultimatives, and they're becoming more and more affordable.

484
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:21,640
We're being ten times the cost per section for prior coverage from Jamesville, or on

485
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,440
MassLink, as we are from Jamesville.

486
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:32,680
We've tried to address that, we've requested meetings, we've attended a handful of meetings

487
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:39,360
with them, and they're not interested in discussing or negotiating anything with us.

488
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:47,120
They're basically issuing ultimatums, and at our last meeting, we were told that if we

489
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:52,440
didn't like the terms that we should fill their own fire hall and serve our own fire

490
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,440
department.

491
00:31:54,440 --> 00:32:00,640
So, we kind of anticipated from past experience because we've kind of been struggling with

492
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:06,520
those guys for a couple of years, so we brought the issue to our lawyers at our annual meeting

493
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:16,160
in March, and requested permission to no longer seek coverage from MassLink, but to request

494
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:24,360
it from Jamesville and some of our other providers to fill that void, and it was approved

495
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,360
unanimously.

496
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:35,200
So, what we're here tonight for is to request that you consider expanding the coverage

497
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,200
area to help us out.

498
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:45,200
So, we would like you to pick up the east side of Mass and Lake, or of Mass and Lake

499
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,200
coverage in the area of Tomchick.

500
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:56,840
So, we're looking at, we'd like you to pick up the west half of section one.

501
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:03,240
Section two is basically just the peninsula out in the lake, most of section two is water,

502
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,640
but there's a lot of houses out on that point.

503
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:13,640
And then we'd like you to pick up the west half of section twelve, you're already doing

504
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,640
the east half on that one, and then pick up section eleven.

505
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:26,640
That would kind of square out the coverage area that you have right now, and if the chief

506
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:32,640
thinks that this is doable, we would really like you to pick up section fifteen, you're

507
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:39,640
already doing fourteen, you picked up fifteen and ten, between the county world seventeen

508
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:51,640
and the four land on highway fourteen, you've got to excellent routes to get to those properties.

509
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:57,640
And so, we don't think that it's going to create an unacceptable response time, but

510
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,640
we're not the experts on that.

511
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,640
We've got to rely on the chief for his expertise on that.

512
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:11,640
Kurt, well, I have a couple of concerns.

513
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,640
One concern is the nine mile corner.

514
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:26,640
That would be separated between multiple departments, so an accident there, which it is prone to.

515
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,640
Could it be confusing to responders?

516
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,640
Or who to call to give response?

517
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:40,640
Let me just take a look at it.

518
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,640
Does that do this map instead?

519
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:48,640
Section fifteen and section ten.

520
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Yeah, that's kind of a junction point there.

521
00:34:51,640 --> 00:35:00,640
Yeah, Eagle Lake is taking sixteen.

522
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,640
That's part of our coverage.

523
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:16,640
So they might be having anything to add on this?

524
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,640
I do.

525
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,640
I drove from a fire hall to the DNR.

526
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Get up to the map here and kind of show you.

527
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,640
Down at the west side of the lake.

528
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,640
You get there sixteen minutes driving them by.

529
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,640
So I had to get down into down here.

530
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,640
From our fire hall.

531
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,640
You can't remember that.

532
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,640
We've gone through a lower kind of dispatch that had transferred to a secret county.

533
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,640
It doesn't happen instantly.

534
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,640
We get paid to the bell and we get that much response time.

535
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,640
I'll keep you by the other way.

536
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,640
The other one?

537
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,640
Friday night we were out in the grass fires.

538
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,640
Right here.

539
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:10,640
If we haven't got a medical at that point, it's almost fifty minutes to get there.

540
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,640
What does it teach you to get to that grass fire on this old thing?

541
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,640
That was about four minutes.

542
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,640
I just don't...

543
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:33,640
I don't want the citizens in their own form that it's hard to add or a fire in your area.

544
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,640
That longer response time to me would not be acceptable.

545
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,640
We should take it.

546
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,640
I have some concerns of how our contracts are done.

547
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,640
Anyways, we're involved in contracts.

548
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:54,640
We take our operating budget and the final, the last three years for your contract.

549
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:59,640
We take how many city towers we have, how many road calls we have.

550
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,640
I'd say it's seven, eight, thirty in a city.

551
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,640
I'm strong with numbers.

552
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,640
I don't exactly what they are, but three round numbers.

553
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:15,640
That's what we charge the rural sections and then we divide that per section, whatever that is.

554
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,640
That's what they pay per section.

555
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:18,640
We're adding sections here.

556
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,640
We're going to add the longer calls.

557
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,640
I don't see any difference in...

558
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:34,640
It doesn't match the city to run more calls in the rural without adding dollars to our...

559
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,640
You know, three or four years on our own, we're going to get a new contract.

560
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:43,640
They'll start reflecting that, but all of the other time trips need to be involved.

561
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,640
This is the two of them.

562
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,640
I'm pretty concerned with the response time as well.

563
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,640
I'm concerned as much as I could.

564
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,640
There's some liability with us.

565
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,640
Twenty minutes for a medical call.

566
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:02,640
It's only sending a heart attack and you put a deputy to do CPR for twenty minutes.

567
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,640
Doing CPR for a two minute round is exhausting.

568
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:13,640
But if you only have one deputy on scene and you're going to try to rely on bystanders to help that deputy,

569
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,640
I mean, that person is not going to survive.

570
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,640
If you have a house fire and you've got us responding for twenty minute response time,

571
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,640
we still have to leave our house.

572
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,640
We still have to drive up to the fire department.

573
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,640
We still have to pick what trucks we're going to take.

574
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,640
We have to get all the people up there.

575
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,640
We have to get our gears.

576
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,640
And then we have to drive to Madison Lake.

577
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,640
That could be a twenty-five, almost a thirty minute response time.

578
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,640
By the time we get there, that house is going to be gone.

579
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,640
There's not going to be anything to salvage.

580
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:53,640
With all respect to address the cost issue on it, you make a valid point.

581
00:38:53,640 --> 00:39:03,640
The historical perspective on it has been to create a percentage based on the distribution of calls

582
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:10,640
and then sign XML to the city, XML to the townships, and then divide it off by the sections covered.

583
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:21,640
Leary townships perspective is we know this is going to create additional need from the department, et cetera.

584
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:31,640
We would be willing to just do an addendum to the contract to pay a flat fee for picking up those extra sections

585
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,640
so that the remainder of the contract remains untouched.

586
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:49,640
And then once we've established a call pattern on it, if we need to make adjustment, that would be a valid thing to do.

587
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:56,640
When we talk about response times, we're acutely aware of that as well.

588
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:13,640
And when we look at adding one model for the traffic distance, we believe that we're still within acceptable response times.

589
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:22,640
Some of the issues that we're having with Madison Lake, their equipment is very old.

590
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:27,640
The new equipment that they're looking at will not fit in their existing fire hall.

591
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:40,640
They're short staffed, they're having a hard time getting people, and we're not getting the coverage that we need as it stands right now.

592
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:46,640
You guys are setting a much higher bar for performance with the fire department.

593
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:55,640
And even though we're adding a mile from a mile and a half to the response distance, you think that we're going to get better service

594
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:00,640
from the Jamesville Fire Department than we are from Madison Lake?

595
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:07,640
Kurt, I think at the moment, our city council may have a problem here too in that.

596
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:14,640
We're sitting with two board members here that are on the fire department and they would not be able to vote on the issue.

597
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:22,640
So we're not going to be able to establish a form at the present time.

598
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:34,640
Could I respectfully request that the council call for a fire board meeting for the month of June?

599
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,640
Hey, do we have one planned already?

600
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,640
I never did those dates, right?

601
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,640
We've got one planned, but I don't know the date.

602
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,640
Yeah, that sounds right.

603
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:54,640
If we could get the townships in and have their input on it as well.

604
00:41:54,640 --> 00:42:04,640
I think that's a reasonable solution, and then you'll have the opportunity to do perhaps a one-some of these pieces.

605
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,640
We have time to do it.

606
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:13,640
We were not looking to gain that coverage until the first of the year.

607
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,640
Is that something that we could discuss at the next fire board meeting?

608
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,640
For some odd reason, I'm thinking it's June, but it might have been July, I don't know.

609
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,640
Did it, okay?

610
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:33,640
Is that right?

611
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,640
Do we think it's feasible?

612
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,640
Yeah, remember we picked up a lot of link coverage, too.

613
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,640
But how busy late?

614
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,640
I can't remember all that.

615
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:55,640
Now what the call level is out there, but if we're out there a lot, that takes us away from our primary city coverage.

616
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:00,640
We have a medical team out there.

617
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:05,640
Is Madison Lake more equipped for ice rescues than we have?

618
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,640
They have some more water, so you should have to read it.

619
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,640
And realistically, we both be out there.

620
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,640
The students run the call.

621
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:23,640
The way that it's much, or almost out to the landing.

622
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,640
I hope I call them just correctly, I guess I'm not sure.

623
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,640
We could just evolve to the...

624
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,640
You'd be governed like you were rolling, and that takes you down to the D&R landing.

625
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,640
Yeah, it would be very hard.

626
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,640
Even on the west side of the lake there, we'd come almost up to the gantar on there.

627
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,640
We're only 50 feet off shore, I think.

628
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,640
For the lake.

629
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,640
Well, you know...

630
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,640
If it's not reasonable to pick up 10 or 15, we understand.

631
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:04,640
Are you counting the west part of the lake, or is that shaded because it's a city, Madison Lake?

632
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,640
Well, we've got two different colors on there.

633
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:09,640
Yeah.

634
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,640
My request did the graphic here.

635
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:19,640
So the yellow highlighted area is the primary area that we're looking for coverage in.

636
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:24,640
I'm taller than mine, but I believe the other is green, and that's just kind of optional.

637
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:25,640
Yeah.

638
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:31,640
We'll agree to the northwest corner of what you're asking us to pick up your buck.

639
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:36,640
Plus a couple other feet from the point of the campground.

640
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,640
From what?

641
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,640
Yeah.

642
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,640
The campground's looking at us.

643
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:41,640
What?

644
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,640
It's the other side of the narrows.

645
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,640
Yeah.

646
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,640
It's the other side in that section.

647
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,640
Okay.

648
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,640
This map maybe shows a little better.

649
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:59,640
I'm having a hard time seeing that.

650
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,640
Part of the scanning and photocopy.

651
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,640
Those colors are what's darker.

652
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,640
Yeah.

653
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,640
Before photocopying, you have to think, you don't know.

654
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:11,640
Yeah.

655
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:12,640
But that makes it better.

656
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:13,640
Yeah.

657
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:14,640
That makes it better.

658
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:15,640
Yeah.

659
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:16,640
That makes it better.

660
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:17,640
Yeah.

661
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:18,640
That makes it better.

662
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Okay.

663
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,640
Here.

664
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,640
We're looking at how we need to pick up this segment.

665
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:25,640
Okay.

666
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:31,640
How many homes do we currently service for the sections we have?

667
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,640
I don't know.

668
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:35,640
I'm not sure.

669
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,640
You're going to pick up a lot more.

670
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:48,640
Is it a possibility to make the lake itself minus some lake's

671
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,640
responsibility?

672
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,640
If you're overlooking it, a drowning incident or somebody

673
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:59,640
through the ice, the response time is critical there.

674
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:04,640
I don't know how we would address that.

675
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:12,640
It's just because that's always what we've done, doesn't,

676
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,640
and we can't change it.

677
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:20,640
I don't think you'll get a form of clothing from out of

678
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,640
selection if you've got a phone.

679
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,640
I don't know.

680
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,640
I didn't expect him to do certain calls.

681
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:33,640
Then at that point, why wouldn't they just do the

682
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:39,640
fire department, or relying on?

683
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:40,640
Okay.

684
00:46:40,640 --> 00:47:06,960
Okay, so this is something that we can address at the meeting, or yeah, and I can maybe do

685
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,560
a little better with my magic marker.

686
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,200
Maybe try to get a better diagram that you can see.

687
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,560
Can we maybe see how many holes there's a little bit?

688
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:19,040
Yeah, that's what meant like how many house properties are there, things like that.

689
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,040
Okay.

690
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,040
Property valuation.

691
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,040
Moment.

692
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:32,280
But that doesn't matter for us, because it's not in our formula, you don't have to be.

693
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,280
Yeah.

694
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:34,280
Okay.

695
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,280
So we will.

696
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:40,280
We're coming to see if there's any calls in that area there in three or two of those

697
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,280
sections.

698
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,280
I'll give you some idea what will work in that area.

699
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:45,280
No idea.

700
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,280
Do you want to call a year?

701
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:48,280
Yeah, right.

702
00:47:48,280 --> 00:48:11,280
So we're going to get a little bit more information on that.

703
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,280
Is that good?

704
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:28,280
Are you receptive to the idea of scheduling something before the hours need?

705
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,280
Yeah.

706
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,280
We could.

707
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:39,280
I don't know if we could just do it at a meeting night.

708
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:40,280
Yeah.

709
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,280
We're going to have June and June and June and July.

710
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,280
No.

711
00:48:44,280 --> 00:49:09,080
June 8th and June 22nd would be the June meetings, June 22nd would be able to get the information

712
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:16,080
and I would honestly would rather be June 8th because I'm not here at the 10th to the

713
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:21,080
20th and I don't know if I'd be able to help with anything with getting them full together.

714
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,080
You want to say it?

715
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,080
Okay.

716
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:29,080
Unless you guys want to do it.

717
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,080
June 8th it is, I guess.

718
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,080
Okay.

719
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:38,080
June 8th.

720
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:43,080
Yep.

721
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:53,080
Last thing we have is a visit from John Anson.

722
00:49:53,080 --> 00:50:00,080
Good evening.

723
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:05,080
Thanks for your flexibility.

724
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:12,080
I took a tour of the county over the last couple hours and grateful that the sheriff department

725
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:18,080
was not in the area because I started at New Richland at 630 and then hustled to Waldorf

726
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:22,080
and I appreciate you guys being able to still be available.

727
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:30,080
My intent tonight is to just provide information for you and to make you aware of a project

728
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:35,080
that, and I'm going to use quotation marks, is finished after three years of work.

729
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:40,080
And the reason why I use quotation marks is because I'd like to think that it's probably

730
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:45,080
not ever formally finished because it will go constantly through changes and updates

731
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:50,080
and I'm going to hand you this and you can keep those.

732
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,080
That's however you want to use them.

733
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,080
But just to give you a really quick background, I teach at Wasica, I grew up in Wasica, I've

734
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,080
been back since 1991.

735
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:09,080
I had a passion for local history and worked extremely hard to incorporate my students

736
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:14,080
into a project that started out as just a tour of Wasica history and some wonderful people

737
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:18,080
at the city worked to get a grant and then we worked with the school.

738
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:24,080
So this has become a collaboration between multiple cities and schools and volunteers

739
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:30,080
and the county has basically said we see value in this and so the county is really just

740
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:36,080
trying to shoulder this and said we want to use this as a way to promote life in our county.

741
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:42,080
And so ultimately we started with thinking we just want to make this one tour of Wasica history

742
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:48,080
and then what we found out was, this is a platform of which that allows other tours

743
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:53,080
and it worked its way finally to a point of saying let's use this to promote

744
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:59,080
not just the wonderful histories of our four communities, so four of the tours are

745
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:04,080
Wasica history, Jangel history, Waldorf history and Erichson history.

746
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:10,080
But beyond that we also took a step and said well we've got the tours, it's no more,

747
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,080
there's no limit on content, there's no limit on downloads.

748
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:20,080
Let's add more tours to promote elements of our county to make life in our county highlighted

749
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,080
through the set of tours in this app.

750
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:29,080
And it's not only a website that is very user friendly, it works very, very well as a website.

751
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:35,080
It's also an app and it's in the app store and you download it onto your phone

752
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,080
because of the significant amount of content in it.

753
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:43,080
It is a bit of a slow download at first but then once it gets on your phone it works fantastic.

754
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:48,080
And so it now is at a point where we're really wanting to get it out there

755
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,080
and make it available to people.

756
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:55,080
And so I volunteered to say I'll touch base with the different cities in the county

757
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:59,080
and so that's why I'm here tonight is to share just really briefly about it.

758
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:04,080
And I've worked already Caitlin.

759
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:08,080
Thank you, I've worked with Caitlin already a little bit on this but just to give you an update

760
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:13,080
of the status of where it's at and I don't know if you had a chance to even look at it at all.

761
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:20,080
Besides the four history tours it also includes tours of all the schools in the county.

762
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:26,080
And it's not just kind of generic and vanilla, it's a number of images and websites

763
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:32,080
and social media and even interviews with each of the principles of the 16 different county schools.

764
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:38,080
And it's all GPS driven so it's based on a map and you go and you visit it

765
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:44,080
and you can ignore certain things or you know visit other kinds of things.

766
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:49,080
So that's our schools and then we also have an attractions and events.

767
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:57,080
So it's everything from golf courses to libraries to bowling to community celebrations

768
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,080
like hey days and songs in the park.

769
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:05,080
Those are all tour stops on the attractions tour of which there are 34 of those

770
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:10,080
that we highlight in the county and just meeting with Waldorf a little while ago.

771
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,080
We need to have a 35th because we did not include Waldorf days.

772
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,080
So now that's going to be on there.

773
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:21,080
And that's the whole point of this is that as more people visit it hopefully and use it

774
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:27,080
they may recognize you know what that's not exactly accurate or this state's wrong or whatever.

775
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,080
I cannot be offended hardly at all in loan.

776
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,080
I mean please tell us our goal is to be accurate and thorough

777
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:38,080
and we want this valuable and everybody knows that if a website is inaccurate

778
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,080
it loses its credibility and it loses its visits.

779
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:48,080
And so we want this to be frequently updated and you know if there's an issue or a concern.

780
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:54,080
So besides the four histories and the schools and the attractions which includes like I said

781
00:54:54,080 --> 00:55:00,080
the golf courses, libraries, everything for attractions there's 37 bars and restaurants in the county.

782
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,080
I don't know if you knew that.

783
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:02,080
I did not know that.

784
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,080
I joke with my students when I teach my Waseka history class in Waseka.

785
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:11,080
We like our churches, our parks and our bars which I'm not sure what that says about us.

786
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:17,080
But there are 37 on that tour all scattered throughout the county.

787
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:21,080
And each one of them has everything we could get from them.

788
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:27,080
Images, websites, social media and then if you're using it on your phone you tap a button

789
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,080
and it navigates you to that destination.

790
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:36,080
If you're on the history tour, two of our four history tours, if you have the app open

791
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:44,080
if you get within a certain number of feet and you have a head fold in the narration automatically begins.

792
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:50,080
If you're walking or driving and you have your app open it notifies you as soon as you're near one of the spots.

793
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:55,080
Whether it's a history tour spot or a park.

794
00:55:55,080 --> 00:56:00,080
So it's a really cool I think and it accommodates to people that aren't local.

795
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:05,080
That maybe grew up here and one still stay attached and they want to know more about it

796
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,080
or they have great memories of the Jamesville history, whatever it might be.

797
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:13,080
So there's 10 stops on the accommodations tour in the county.

798
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,080
29 stops on the shops.

799
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:24,080
33 churches in the county and 25 different parks and all of the parks have drone flyovers

800
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:30,080
as well as as much information as we could gather to put in there for someone who wants to know more about the parks.

801
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,080
And then there's also one on trails.

802
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:40,080
So all of this is to be truthful information you could probably find somewhere out there.

803
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:47,080
But it's now all in one place and that's the beauty of it from our perspective.

804
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:55,080
And so our intent is to and the county's intent which Commissioner Malta is here tonight as well.

805
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,080
The county is basically saying we value this.

806
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:07,080
We're going to own it and we're going to take care of the subscription process cost of it and those promotional to start with that item.

807
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,080
And I want to show you one other quick thing.

808
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:19,080
The idea is that Caitlin will work to deliver those to every brick and mortar location on all of the tours.

809
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:26,080
So if there's a shop in Jamesville, a school in Jamesville, a restaurant in Jamesville, any place in Jamesville that's a brick and mortar,

810
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:31,080
she's going to deliver those with a folder so that they're there and available.

811
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:39,080
And if there's an outdoor location like on the history tours or on the park or wherever it might be that wouldn't have a spot for those,

812
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:43,080
there's this, which is basically serves the same purpose.

813
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:51,080
It alerts people to that this location is on the tour and you flew our code it and it takes you to the site slash path.

814
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:57,080
So I'll work with her to find out how many of these that Jamesville wants.

815
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:06,080
And we'll order those and then she and staff will work to put those up in the way that works and how you guys want to do that.

816
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:20,080
So the other thing would be I'm not attached very often to Jamesville social media, but social media is a huge way to communicate and get information out for most of our creative charge.

817
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:30,080
So the county will work through its social media mechanisms, but each of the communities will be up to them, but we'll give you access to everything you need and want.

818
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:36,080
If you want to highlight elements of it to promote within your own social media community.

819
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:43,080
A whole lot of people, county, city, school, volunteers will seek area foundation.

820
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,080
All people gave resources to build it.

821
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,080
It's of no value if nobody uses it.

822
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:50,080
Right?
