There was some communication. 08:55.360 --> 09:01.360 I just handed you a mazing that came from the League of Cities that came in today's mail. 09:01.360 --> 09:05.360 Also, in your packet, there is a um, Sarah Arnold does have this letter, 09:05.360 --> 09:11.360 but the City of Pemberton is kind enough to write a letter to the city and to the Arnold family 09:11.360 --> 09:15.360 with their condolences. I thought that was really super cool. 09:15.360 --> 09:19.360 So I wanted to put that in tonight's packet. 09:19.360 --> 09:27.360 And that's all I have. 09:27.360 --> 09:31.360 Council reports. 09:31.360 --> 09:35.360 Yeah. 09:35.360 --> 09:39.360 EDA has not met since last time we met. 09:39.360 --> 09:43.360 We'll be leaving tomorrow. 09:43.360 --> 09:47.360 Park Road for the most part of their last meeting. 09:47.360 --> 09:51.360 And we'll move ahead with the window replacement. 09:51.360 --> 09:55.360 There was some fumbling around of the numbers 09:55.360 --> 09:59.360 and where the cash is actually going to come from. 09:59.360 --> 10:03.360 But we have enough money to get the job done. 10:03.360 --> 10:07.360 So we'll see where they're at when we meet. 10:07.360 --> 10:11.360 Again, this month. 10:11.360 --> 10:15.360 I don't have much. 10:15.360 --> 10:19.360 We'll be 10:19.360 --> 10:23.360 filling the police 10:23.360 --> 10:27.360 The police got soon. 10:27.360 --> 10:31.360 Golf course, everything's full steam ahead out there. 10:31.360 --> 10:35.360 I know it's been super busy. I haven't got any numbers or anything from Kevin, 10:35.360 --> 10:39.360 but I know they're very busy out there. 10:39.360 --> 10:43.360 So that is a good thing. 10:43.360 --> 10:47.360 Oh, I'm terrible. 50? 10:47.360 --> 10:51.360 Probably. 10:51.360 --> 10:55.360 Over to that membership over there. 10:55.360 --> 10:57.360 Kyle? 10:57.360 --> 10:59.360 Park Road been on 27th. 10:59.360 --> 11:03.360 We talked about a lot. 11:03.360 --> 11:07.360 We went over some new park equipment that we're potentially going to buy this year. 11:07.360 --> 11:11.360 Doing zip lines or bed swinging bench. 11:11.360 --> 11:15.360 I think we did kind of narrow it down and come to decision, 11:15.360 --> 11:19.360 but I haven't made it official yet. 11:19.360 --> 11:23.360 I think we're fighting stuff like that to hopefully get it on to order this year. 11:23.360 --> 11:27.360 We went over some of the park. 11:27.360 --> 11:31.360 We all have a listing here of all the different 11:31.360 --> 11:35.360 bands, everything. 11:35.360 --> 11:39.360 There was still an opening for Food Truck, which Paul was going to look into. 11:39.360 --> 11:43.360 He can fill in the letter that I can. 11:43.360 --> 11:47.360 There was 11:47.360 --> 11:51.360 Jacob Lurke. He had been contacted by a, 11:51.360 --> 11:55.360 I can't remember the name of him, but just by ship. 11:55.360 --> 11:57.360 Letter P, everybody. 11:57.360 --> 11:59.360 Yes. 11:59.360 --> 12:03.360 They want to give us money to work on our 12:03.360 --> 12:07.360 parks in very dedicated 12:07.360 --> 12:11.360 lanes. We can't get parking equipment from what I understand, but we make those 12:11.360 --> 12:15.360 adventures, lighting, stuff like that. He was going to respond to her 12:15.360 --> 12:19.360 and she was going to come to one of our meetings and give a whole presentation on what she 12:19.360 --> 12:23.360 can do for us and go from there. 12:23.360 --> 12:27.360 And then there was a brief conversation about 12:27.360 --> 12:31.360 changing, remaining a park. 12:31.360 --> 12:35.360 We'll probably end up talking about that a little bit. 12:35.360 --> 12:39.360 We now have a planning commission met on the 29th. 12:39.360 --> 12:43.360 We had, we spent the entire 12:43.360 --> 12:47.360 time talking about how do we pull in more businesses. 12:47.360 --> 12:51.360 A lot of it followed around as 12:51.360 --> 12:55.360 updating our infrastructure. 12:55.360 --> 12:59.360 Potentially, the grants aren't there, so potentially you can change them, maybe just 12:59.360 --> 13:03.360 needs to be proactive. By the lots ourselves, get the infrastructure out 13:03.360 --> 13:07.360 to ourselves and just be ready for these people to come in. 13:07.360 --> 13:11.360 There was a large name that wanted to potentially come to town. 13:11.360 --> 13:15.360 Robert Burns was, as always, talking 13:15.360 --> 13:19.360 very heavily about them. I can't say I disagree with him. 13:19.360 --> 13:23.360 I did tell him, probably for his council sake, if he could get a letter of intent, 13:23.360 --> 13:27.360 it might help move things in the right direction, 13:27.360 --> 13:31.360 that are them waiting for us and us waiting for them. 13:31.360 --> 13:35.360 But essentially, to people being proactive. 13:35.360 --> 13:39.360 Taking a page out of my own makes book, I believe it was. 13:39.360 --> 13:43.360 And just, it's titty supporting it. 13:43.360 --> 13:47.360 And then... 13:47.360 --> 13:49.360 Very good. 13:49.360 --> 13:51.360 Oh, and there's a poem. 13:51.360 --> 13:55.360 One in red, along, since this is up, so they're doing good. 13:55.360 --> 13:59.360 Very good. 13:59.360 --> 14:03.360 Administrator report. 14:03.360 --> 14:07.360 Trying to find it. 14:07.360 --> 14:15.360 I can never find this. 14:15.360 --> 14:23.360 All right. 14:23.360 --> 14:27.360 In your packet tonight, the April reconciliation is in there 14:27.360 --> 14:31.360 from the bank. You have your cash balance report. 14:31.360 --> 14:35.360 Please, chief, opening. The applications were due by 4.30 today. 14:35.360 --> 14:37.360 Monday, May 11th at 4.30. 14:37.360 --> 14:41.360 So, I'm just letting you know that we did get three applications. 14:41.360 --> 14:45.360 And now that we have actually had a personal committee, 14:45.360 --> 14:49.360 personnel committee should get together and talk about what we want to do next. 14:49.360 --> 14:53.360 I'm just going to flat out recommend we interview all three, you know, for starters. 14:53.360 --> 14:57.360 So, three of us will figure out a time to get together for that. 14:57.360 --> 14:59.360 Okay. 14:59.360 --> 15:03.360 And then over the next, I would like to maybe begin this month, 15:03.360 --> 15:09.360 but I would like us to consider meeting twice a month again as we start rolling with budgets. 15:09.360 --> 15:15.360 We have some, Joel's working on getting some bids and stuff for our CIP street 15:15.360 --> 15:19.360 projects and improvements, and I just don't know if we want to wait a whole month. 15:19.360 --> 15:23.360 You know, if he gets good bids, it'd be great to 15:23.360 --> 15:25.360 award them and improve them sooner than later. 15:25.360 --> 15:29.360 So, there's more of a summer that they can do the work. 15:29.360 --> 15:31.360 Is it okay if we meet twice a month? 15:31.360 --> 15:33.360 Typically, it's a second and fourth Monday. 15:33.360 --> 15:37.360 I guess I would like to see that too. 15:37.360 --> 15:39.360 Andy was so good at budgeting that. 15:39.360 --> 15:41.360 I think we're going to miss that. 15:41.360 --> 15:49.360 It will help the rest of us get up to speed lower and really meet a bit. 15:49.360 --> 15:51.360 Okay. 15:51.360 --> 15:55.360 Well, if you are okay with that, now here comes the first curveball, right? 15:55.360 --> 15:59.360 We're blind loving at the table here. 15:59.360 --> 16:05.360 The fourth Monday of May is Memorial Day, so we can't meet in the parkour to discuss that. 16:05.360 --> 16:11.360 The parkour is meeting Wednesday the 27th and 7th, 25th with the City Council. 16:11.360 --> 16:15.360 Can we meet that night to 27th? 16:15.360 --> 16:17.360 I mean, I'm going to be here anyways though. 16:17.360 --> 16:18.360 Yeah. 16:18.360 --> 16:19.360 True. 16:20.360 --> 16:23.360 We can. 16:23.360 --> 16:31.360 Or if we wanted to start the two months in June, I guess. 16:31.360 --> 16:35.360 Either way, I guess it's fine with me. 16:35.360 --> 16:37.360 Unless we have a reason to meet in May. 16:37.360 --> 16:41.360 Well, I mean, if Joe gets a couple of good quotes, it might be worth 16:41.360 --> 16:47.360 he'll be able to see if we can just have a quick special meeting maybe for that. 16:47.360 --> 16:49.360 Okay. 16:49.360 --> 16:53.360 And then the other thing, speaking of calendars, 16:53.360 --> 16:57.360 I'm going to be gone at literally half of June. 16:57.360 --> 17:02.360 Be at Willem's wedding and then the league has their conference at the end of June. 17:02.360 --> 17:06.360 So I just put the dates in the memo there when I won't be here. 17:06.360 --> 17:10.360 And Ivan's already going to order pizzas and everything for everybody else when I'm not here. 17:10.360 --> 17:12.360 He was talking about it this morning. 17:12.360 --> 17:14.360 What's the question about what? 17:14.360 --> 17:16.360 I can hear everything that says. 17:16.360 --> 17:17.360 It's in May. 17:17.360 --> 17:19.360 Or did you start it in June? 17:19.360 --> 17:21.360 I think you want to start in June, right? 17:21.360 --> 17:23.360 I said I was bringing past some dates. 17:23.360 --> 17:26.360 We'll leave it in a second. 17:26.360 --> 17:27.360 Okay. 17:27.360 --> 17:28.360 Okay. 17:28.360 --> 17:29.360 So June. 17:34.360 --> 17:35.360 And that's it. 17:35.360 --> 17:43.360 The last final thing is the weekly, you know, mailing from the coalition. 17:43.360 --> 17:51.360 You're still in session, so I think anyway. 17:51.360 --> 17:53.360 That's all I have. 17:53.360 --> 17:57.360 Thank you. 17:57.360 --> 18:03.360 Person next to him has a motion to accept his report. 18:03.360 --> 18:05.360 That was always my job sitting next to him. 18:05.360 --> 18:10.360 Oh, I will make a motion to accept his report. 18:10.360 --> 18:11.360 I'll second. 18:11.360 --> 18:12.360 All in favor? 18:12.360 --> 18:13.360 Aye. 18:13.360 --> 18:14.360 All in favor? 18:14.360 --> 18:15.360 Aye. 18:15.360 --> 18:16.360 All in favor? 18:16.360 --> 18:17.360 Aye. 18:17.360 --> 18:18.360 All in favor? 18:18.360 --> 18:19.360 Aye. 18:19.360 --> 18:20.360 All in favor? 18:20.360 --> 18:21.360 Aye. 18:21.360 --> 18:22.360 Staff reports. 18:22.360 --> 18:23.360 Yes. 18:23.360 --> 18:24.360 So our department heads tonight will be police and fire. 18:24.360 --> 18:27.360 You do have the first quarter police department report in the packet there. 18:27.360 --> 18:32.360 If you have any questions for Mark, if you have any questions for Mike and fire related items, 18:32.360 --> 18:33.360 do you guys have anything? 18:33.360 --> 18:34.360 I do. 18:34.360 --> 18:35.360 Okay. 18:36.360 --> 18:39.360 We currently have 13 air packs. 18:39.360 --> 18:42.360 The current three of them are in shock. 18:42.360 --> 18:47.360 We've been down a lot of heat for the last few years. 18:47.360 --> 18:53.360 We're getting out of the police shop getting fixed. 18:53.360 --> 18:57.360 We're the most recent pack we had in there. 18:57.360 --> 19:04.360 I can get records over 2004 for 15 years of life. 19:04.360 --> 19:07.360 We're looking at getting some new air packs. 19:07.360 --> 19:10.360 We do have plenty in our capital country. 19:10.360 --> 19:17.360 We do realize that we'll push our next vehicle pack, tanker pack, probably a year, year and 19:17.360 --> 19:26.360 a half, but air packs could not be changed to their rules now. 19:26.360 --> 19:35.360 We have to have 45 amount of bottles, $4,500 PSI bottles instead of $21 or $20. 19:35.360 --> 19:37.360 It was $16. 19:37.360 --> 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 19:42.360 --> 19:45.360 compressor too, so we're looking at about $220,000. 19:45.360 --> 19:50.360 We want to let you know we are looking for that right now. 19:50.360 --> 19:55.360 We currently don't feel that our packs are having an ammunition drop all the time. 19:55.360 --> 20:02.360 Trying to have any of them get us through is a good idea. 20:02.360 --> 20:07.360 I just wanted you guys to wear that up to my ex. 20:07.360 --> 20:14.360 Sometimes summer I'll be coming to you, hopefully I'm asking you to spend some money on the capital 20:14.360 --> 20:15.360 countries. 20:15.360 --> 20:18.360 You said these were the ones you were using are 14. 20:18.360 --> 20:20.360 To the 24. 20:20.360 --> 20:22.360 24. 20:22.360 --> 20:23.360 24. 20:23.360 --> 20:26.360 Okay, well then why are you waiting for it? 20:26.360 --> 20:29.360 I mean you're good at flossing that. 20:29.360 --> 20:31.360 It's a lot of money. 20:31.360 --> 20:33.360 I understand that. 20:33.360 --> 20:47.360 If the 50 year shoe and struggle with one more, taking our time on that kind of stuff. 20:47.360 --> 20:52.360 Well I'm guessing you're in the process of pricing and all that. 20:52.360 --> 20:59.360 We're going to go off. 20:59.360 --> 21:05.360 A lot of you guys are aware that I'm going to be coming to you. 21:05.360 --> 21:07.360 Or if they get numbers quickly. 21:07.360 --> 21:13.360 Do you want to make a motion for them to spend up to X number of hours on these? 21:14.360 --> 21:19.360 What do we have available? 21:19.360 --> 21:23.360 Well there's like 300,000 and that fund doesn't like that. 21:23.360 --> 21:24.360 Yeah. 21:24.360 --> 21:25.360 Three hundred and three or something. 21:25.360 --> 21:27.360 Under $100 I would like to see the console. 21:27.360 --> 21:28.360 Okay. 21:28.360 --> 21:29.360 Yeah. 21:29.360 --> 21:30.360 Absolutely. 21:30.360 --> 21:31.360 Big number. 21:31.360 --> 21:32.360 Yeah. 21:32.360 --> 21:33.360 Yeah. 21:33.360 --> 21:34.360 Okay. 21:34.360 --> 21:50.360 First something like that but fairly important I would say if you get a good deal, I'd be willing 21:50.360 --> 21:53.360 to meet outside a normal thing to approve that. 21:53.360 --> 21:56.360 Just to get it done. 21:56.360 --> 21:57.360 Sure. 21:57.360 --> 22:02.360 Can we look into that? 22:02.360 --> 22:06.360 The lead thing on those are coming down a lot. 22:06.360 --> 22:07.360 They're in COVID. 22:07.360 --> 22:10.360 It was a couple of years before you could see them on the order. 22:10.360 --> 22:13.360 They're not going to take weeks off I guess. 22:13.360 --> 22:20.360 We're going to go under it. 22:20.360 --> 22:21.360 Thanks Mike. 22:21.360 --> 22:25.360 And then Mark did you have anything? 22:25.360 --> 22:26.360 No. 22:26.360 --> 22:28.360 You don't want to ask them really to? 22:29.360 --> 22:35.360 Is there anything you'd like to point out to us? 22:35.360 --> 22:43.360 Where is there anything you'd like to point out to us? 22:43.360 --> 22:48.360 No I think you're doing a great job. 22:48.360 --> 22:49.360 Thank you. 22:49.360 --> 22:54.360 Usually the team has a podium when you're doing a three quarter. 22:54.360 --> 22:56.360 That is accurate. 22:57.360 --> 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 23:01.360 --> 23:02.360 of doing it. 23:02.360 --> 23:06.360 That's why Kyle calls me. 23:06.360 --> 23:09.360 Would you like to stand over there? 23:09.360 --> 23:15.360 You've got nothing to say. 23:15.360 --> 23:16.360 All right. 23:16.360 --> 23:23.360 Well thank you gentlemen. 23:23.360 --> 23:28.360 Jamesville night out plans August 6th. 23:28.360 --> 23:33.360 Yes let me try to pull that up here Paul. 23:33.360 --> 23:38.360 There it is. 23:38.360 --> 23:42.360 Okay I'm going to make this really short because quite honestly I want to get home to watch 23:42.360 --> 23:43.360 wild. 23:43.360 --> 23:49.360 So I think it was in place we did not get the main grant that would get other years. 23:50.360 --> 23:53.360 But as it turned out I had a fair amount to carry over. 23:53.360 --> 23:57.360 And as it turns out we're going to have a fair amount to carry over this year after all the 23:57.360 --> 24:01.360 sponsorships and the other grants and stuff came in so it actually worked out okay. 24:01.360 --> 24:05.360 I had to make minimal adjustments on what I was going to do as it worked out okay. 24:05.360 --> 24:11.360 You'll see here the list of the artists and the food trucks on the right hand side just 24:11.360 --> 24:16.360 kind of listing so more informative than anything. 24:16.360 --> 24:19.360 I talked at the park board about having hot dogs. 24:19.360 --> 24:24.360 I checked prices just real quick in general ideas. 24:24.360 --> 24:26.360 That total amount is at the bottom so it's really pretty minimal. 24:26.360 --> 24:28.360 I didn't think it was too bad at all. 24:28.360 --> 24:34.360 The only thing is I will be hitting everyone up here to if they can volunteer to serve 24:34.360 --> 24:35.360 hot dogs that day. 24:35.360 --> 24:44.360 So the plan is to have 200 to 225 hot dogs just to people you know. 24:45.360 --> 24:51.360 Each person have one you know limit to one per person limited amount when they're gone. 24:51.360 --> 24:52.360 They're gone kind of thing. 24:52.360 --> 24:54.360 We're also having food truck that night. 24:54.360 --> 24:58.360 I talked to Mark from infinity and he said yeah he thought it would be worthwhile. 24:58.360 --> 25:01.360 So they're going to be there that night too. 25:01.360 --> 25:05.360 So really that's the only other thing I've got while the farmers market. 25:05.360 --> 25:09.360 You see the farmers market that's starting eight days weekend with that seemed to be a good 25:09.360 --> 25:10.360 weekend to start it. 25:10.360 --> 25:17.360 So the only other thing point out July tentatively and I think it's going to stick here is July 25:17.360 --> 25:20.360 23rd the plan is to have a pie social. 25:20.360 --> 25:22.360 We can get pies from the dam store. 25:22.360 --> 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. 25:27.360 --> 25:30.360 I'm doing it just to bring people in. 25:30.360 --> 25:35.360 So you know the price will be minimal but you know that kind of thing. 25:35.360 --> 25:40.360 It just might bring some people in and give people a chance to eat pie. 25:40.360 --> 25:46.360 So I think that's really all I've got unless there's any questions. 25:46.360 --> 25:49.360 I just have one question. 25:49.360 --> 25:52.360 What time do your musical acts be done? 25:52.360 --> 25:57.360 They start at, no I got to think, they started 5.30 to 8. 25:57.360 --> 26:04.360 They run 5.30 up until September and September they start 5.30 because it gets dark so much faster. 26:04.360 --> 26:11.360 Yeah so veterans more a great place for to have it. 26:11.360 --> 26:17.360 I mean whoever designed it set it up perfectly so it's a really good place to have it. 26:17.360 --> 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. 26:24.360 --> 26:27.360 But I know you had some kind of plan or something so. 26:28.360 --> 26:30.360 It's going to go live now. 26:30.360 --> 26:35.360 It's getting so yeah otherwise unless anybody has questions. 26:35.360 --> 26:37.360 I think I'm good. 26:37.360 --> 26:39.360 All right good. 26:39.360 --> 26:40.360 All right thank you. 26:40.360 --> 26:42.360 Thanks for your hard work on this too. 26:42.360 --> 26:43.360 Go wild. 26:43.360 --> 26:44.360 Exactly. 26:48.360 --> 26:51.360 Fill in the vacancy on the EDA. 26:51.360 --> 26:58.360 Yes Mike Danbury was on the EDA and he recently resigned just due to scheduling conflicts. 26:58.360 --> 27:04.360 His term went through December 31 of 2029. 27:04.360 --> 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. 27:22.360 --> 27:24.360 You want one motion or two? 27:24.360 --> 27:27.360 Probably better do two just to be safe. 27:27.360 --> 27:33.360 Motion to approve resolution 2026 12. 27:33.360 --> 27:34.360 Second. 27:34.360 --> 27:35.360 All in favor. 27:35.360 --> 27:36.360 All right. 27:36.360 --> 27:37.360 All right. 27:37.360 --> 27:38.360 4. 27:38.360 --> 27:43.360 Motion to approve resolution 2026 13. 27:43.360 --> 27:44.360 Second. 27:44.360 --> 27:45.360 All in favor. 27:45.360 --> 27:46.360 All right. 27:46.360 --> 27:47.360 All right. 27:47.360 --> 27:48.360 All right. 27:48.360 --> 27:49.360 Excellent. 27:49.360 --> 27:50.360 Madam salar. 27:50.360 --> 27:58.360 Public safety increasedrecord coverage from zero. 27:58.360 --> 27:59.360 Okay. 27:59.360 --> 28:00.360 Oops. 28:00.360 --> 28:01.360 One more. 28:01.360 --> 28:02.360 213. 28:02.360 --> 28:04.360 Look at that I already skipped one. 28:04.360 --> 28:05.360 Okay. 28:05.360 --> 28:06.360 It's a first name. 28:06.360 --> 28:09.360 Item C terminating Midwest municipal gas agreement. 28:09.360 --> 28:12.360 Yes so years ago the the city utility and the city of j sands is assigned into this Mtg agreement. 28:12.360 --> 28:19.400 and the city of Jamesville signed into this MMPG agreement with the rest of the consortium 28:19.400 --> 28:23.600 that we have our electric power with. 28:23.600 --> 28:28.240 This municipal gas agency no longer really exists anymore and it's just not needed. 28:28.240 --> 28:37.040 So the board of directors and the attorneys at the campus, the CMNPA, are recommending 28:37.040 --> 28:43.400 that each utility and each city council in these communities just get rid of the agreement 28:43.400 --> 28:46.120 because we don't need it anymore, they don't exist. 28:46.120 --> 28:49.840 But remember I told you Sarah Joel was gone last week. 28:49.840 --> 28:54.600 I saw this before. 28:54.600 --> 28:58.480 How do you sell Germany? 28:58.480 --> 29:00.200 Tremendly? 29:00.200 --> 29:06.720 You thought the computer would have caught that. 29:06.720 --> 29:09.080 You'd have to know how do you spell check, right? 29:09.080 --> 29:12.960 I just looked for the squidly red line, you know. 29:12.960 --> 29:18.360 So anyway, Andy, the resolution in your folder decided it smelled correctly. 29:18.360 --> 29:19.360 Okay. 29:19.360 --> 29:26.640 I'm motion, we approve resolution 2026, 14, all in favor. 29:26.640 --> 29:27.640 Aye. 29:27.640 --> 29:28.640 Aye. 29:28.640 --> 29:29.640 Aye. 29:29.640 --> 29:30.640 Aye. 29:30.640 --> 29:31.640 For all. 29:32.440 --> 29:36.880 Talk about the district coverage for the raid township. 29:36.880 --> 29:37.880 Very good. 29:37.880 --> 29:38.880 Thank you. 29:38.880 --> 29:44.360 Ferdinand, for something the raid township, Philos and Mike are both here. 29:44.360 --> 29:48.000 We're going to be supervisors for being built township. 29:48.000 --> 29:52.160 I'm sorry for the raid township. 29:52.160 --> 29:57.160 I'd like to begin by expressing the involvement of this. 29:57.160 --> 29:59.320 You were awesome in here. 29:59.320 --> 30:00.320 Thank you. 30:00.320 --> 30:18.040 So in the raid township, we have 32 sections, and we have quite a coverage from four different 30:18.040 --> 30:19.040 prior departments. 30:19.040 --> 30:25.080 We have MassLink, we have St. Clair, we have Jamesville, and we have Elie, and they each 30:25.080 --> 30:31.280 take about eight sections. 30:31.280 --> 30:37.680 We've been very pleased with the job that Jamesville prior department has been doing, 30:37.680 --> 30:49.720 and we've enjoyed working with the City Council and Fire Board to negotiate and come up with 30:49.720 --> 30:54.960 what we believe are reasonable terms for prior coverage for everyone. 30:55.960 --> 31:03.840 Unfortunately, we cannot say that about our relationship with the City, MassLink, and 31:03.840 --> 31:06.840 the Fire Department. 31:06.840 --> 31:15.600 They basically just want to issue ultimatives, and they're becoming more and more affordable. 31:15.600 --> 31:21.640 We're being ten times the cost per section for prior coverage from Jamesville, or on 31:21.640 --> 31:24.440 MassLink, as we are from Jamesville. 31:25.440 --> 31:32.680 We've tried to address that, we've requested meetings, we've attended a handful of meetings 31:32.680 --> 31:39.360 with them, and they're not interested in discussing or negotiating anything with us. 31:39.360 --> 31:47.120 They're basically issuing ultimatums, and at our last meeting, we were told that if we 31:47.120 --> 31:52.440 didn't like the terms that we should fill their own fire hall and serve our own fire 31:52.440 --> 31:53.440 department. 31:54.440 --> 32:00.640 So, we kind of anticipated from past experience because we've kind of been struggling with 32:00.640 --> 32:06.520 those guys for a couple of years, so we brought the issue to our lawyers at our annual meeting 32:06.520 --> 32:16.160 in March, and requested permission to no longer seek coverage from MassLink, but to request 32:16.160 --> 32:24.360 it from Jamesville and some of our other providers to fill that void, and it was approved 32:24.360 --> 32:25.360 unanimously. 32:25.360 --> 32:35.200 So, what we're here tonight for is to request that you consider expanding the coverage 32:35.200 --> 32:38.200 area to help us out. 32:38.200 --> 32:45.200 So, we would like you to pick up the east side of Mass and Lake, or of Mass and Lake 32:45.200 --> 32:47.200 coverage in the area of Tomchick. 32:47.200 --> 32:56.840 So, we're looking at, we'd like you to pick up the west half of section one. 32:56.840 --> 33:03.240 Section two is basically just the peninsula out in the lake, most of section two is water, 33:03.240 --> 33:06.640 but there's a lot of houses out on that point. 33:07.640 --> 33:13.640 And then we'd like you to pick up the west half of section twelve, you're already doing 33:13.640 --> 33:19.640 the east half on that one, and then pick up section eleven. 33:19.640 --> 33:26.640 That would kind of square out the coverage area that you have right now, and if the chief 33:26.640 --> 33:32.640 thinks that this is doable, we would really like you to pick up section fifteen, you're 33:32.640 --> 33:39.640 already doing fourteen, you picked up fifteen and ten, between the county world seventeen 33:39.640 --> 33:51.640 and the four land on highway fourteen, you've got to excellent routes to get to those properties. 33:51.640 --> 33:57.640 And so, we don't think that it's going to create an unacceptable response time, but 33:57.640 --> 33:59.640 we're not the experts on that. 33:59.640 --> 34:04.640 We've got to rely on the chief for his expertise on that. 34:04.640 --> 34:11.640 Kurt, well, I have a couple of concerns. 34:11.640 --> 34:16.640 One concern is the nine mile corner. 34:16.640 --> 34:26.640 That would be separated between multiple departments, so an accident there, which it is prone to. 34:26.640 --> 34:30.640 Could it be confusing to responders? 34:30.640 --> 34:33.640 Or who to call to give response? 34:33.640 --> 34:40.640 Let me just take a look at it. 34:40.640 --> 34:42.640 Does that do this map instead? 34:42.640 --> 34:48.640 Section fifteen and section ten. 34:48.640 --> 34:51.640 Yeah, that's kind of a junction point there. 34:51.640 --> 35:00.640 Yeah, Eagle Lake is taking sixteen. 35:00.640 --> 35:03.640 That's part of our coverage. 35:03.640 --> 35:16.640 So they might be having anything to add on this? 35:16.640 --> 35:18.640 I do. 35:18.640 --> 35:22.640 I drove from a fire hall to the DNR. 35:22.640 --> 35:24.640 Get up to the map here and kind of show you. 35:24.640 --> 35:27.640 Down at the west side of the lake. 35:27.640 --> 35:31.640 You get there sixteen minutes driving them by. 35:31.640 --> 35:37.640 So I had to get down into down here. 35:37.640 --> 35:39.640 From our fire hall. 35:39.640 --> 35:41.640 You can't remember that. 35:41.640 --> 35:46.640 We've gone through a lower kind of dispatch that had transferred to a secret county. 35:46.640 --> 35:49.640 It doesn't happen instantly. 35:49.640 --> 35:54.640 We get paid to the bell and we get that much response time. 35:54.640 --> 35:56.640 I'll keep you by the other way. 35:56.640 --> 35:58.640 The other one? 35:58.640 --> 36:02.640 Friday night we were out in the grass fires. 36:02.640 --> 36:04.640 Right here. 36:04.640 --> 36:10.640 If we haven't got a medical at that point, it's almost fifty minutes to get there. 36:11.640 --> 36:16.640 What does it teach you to get to that grass fire on this old thing? 36:16.640 --> 36:20.640 That was about four minutes. 36:20.640 --> 36:23.640 I just don't... 36:23.640 --> 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. 36:33.640 --> 36:36.640 That longer response time to me would not be acceptable. 36:37.640 --> 36:39.640 We should take it. 36:39.640 --> 36:44.640 I have some concerns of how our contracts are done. 36:44.640 --> 36:47.640 Anyways, we're involved in contracts. 36:47.640 --> 36:54.640 We take our operating budget and the final, the last three years for your contract. 36:54.640 --> 36:59.640 We take how many city towers we have, how many road calls we have. 36:59.640 --> 37:03.640 I'd say it's seven, eight, thirty in a city. 37:03.640 --> 37:04.640 I'm strong with numbers. 37:04.640 --> 37:07.640 I don't exactly what they are, but three round numbers. 37:07.640 --> 37:15.640 That's what we charge the rural sections and then we divide that per section, whatever that is. 37:15.640 --> 37:17.640 That's what they pay per section. 37:17.640 --> 37:18.640 We're adding sections here. 37:18.640 --> 37:20.640 We're going to add the longer calls. 37:20.640 --> 37:25.640 I don't see any difference in... 37:25.640 --> 37:34.640 It doesn't match the city to run more calls in the rural without adding dollars to our... 37:34.640 --> 37:37.640 You know, three or four years on our own, we're going to get a new contract. 37:37.640 --> 37:43.640 They'll start reflecting that, but all of the other time trips need to be involved. 37:43.640 --> 37:45.640 This is the two of them. 37:45.640 --> 37:48.640 I'm pretty concerned with the response time as well. 37:48.640 --> 37:50.640 I'm concerned as much as I could. 37:50.640 --> 37:52.640 There's some liability with us. 37:53.640 --> 37:55.640 Twenty minutes for a medical call. 37:55.640 --> 38:02.640 It's only sending a heart attack and you put a deputy to do CPR for twenty minutes. 38:02.640 --> 38:06.640 Doing CPR for a two minute round is exhausting. 38:06.640 --> 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, 38:13.640 --> 38:16.640 I mean, that person is not going to survive. 38:16.640 --> 38:21.640 If you have a house fire and you've got us responding for twenty minute response time, 38:21.640 --> 38:23.640 we still have to leave our house. 38:23.640 --> 38:25.640 We still have to drive up to the fire department. 38:25.640 --> 38:27.640 We still have to pick what trucks we're going to take. 38:27.640 --> 38:29.640 We have to get all the people up there. 38:29.640 --> 38:30.640 We have to get our gears. 38:30.640 --> 38:33.640 And then we have to drive to Madison Lake. 38:33.640 --> 38:37.640 That could be a twenty-five, almost a thirty minute response time. 38:37.640 --> 38:40.640 By the time we get there, that house is going to be gone. 38:40.640 --> 38:43.640 There's not going to be anything to salvage. 38:44.640 --> 38:53.640 With all respect to address the cost issue on it, you make a valid point. 38:53.640 --> 39:03.640 The historical perspective on it has been to create a percentage based on the distribution of calls 39:03.640 --> 39:10.640 and then sign XML to the city, XML to the townships, and then divide it off by the sections covered. 39:11.640 --> 39:21.640 Leary townships perspective is we know this is going to create additional need from the department, et cetera. 39:21.640 --> 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 39:31.640 --> 39:36.640 so that the remainder of the contract remains untouched. 39:37.640 --> 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. 39:49.640 --> 39:56.640 When we talk about response times, we're acutely aware of that as well. 39:57.640 --> 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. 40:13.640 --> 40:22.640 Some of the issues that we're having with Madison Lake, their equipment is very old. 40:22.640 --> 40:27.640 The new equipment that they're looking at will not fit in their existing fire hall. 40:27.640 --> 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. 40:40.640 --> 40:46.640 You guys are setting a much higher bar for performance with the fire department. 40:46.640 --> 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 40:55.640 --> 41:00.640 from the Jamesville Fire Department than we are from Madison Lake? 41:00.640 --> 41:07.640 Kurt, I think at the moment, our city council may have a problem here too in that. 41:07.640 --> 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. 41:14.640 --> 41:22.640 So we're not going to be able to establish a form at the present time. 41:22.640 --> 41:34.640 Could I respectfully request that the council call for a fire board meeting for the month of June? 41:34.640 --> 41:37.640 Hey, do we have one planned already? 41:37.640 --> 41:40.640 I never did those dates, right? 41:40.640 --> 41:45.640 We've got one planned, but I don't know the date. 41:45.640 --> 41:48.640 Yeah, that sounds right. 41:48.640 --> 41:54.640 If we could get the townships in and have their input on it as well. 41:54.640 --> 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. 42:04.640 --> 42:07.640 We have time to do it. 42:07.640 --> 42:13.640 We were not looking to gain that coverage until the first of the year. 42:13.640 --> 42:16.640 Is that something that we could discuss at the next fire board meeting? 42:16.640 --> 42:21.640 For some odd reason, I'm thinking it's June, but it might have been July, I don't know. 42:21.640 --> 42:25.640 Did it, okay? 42:25.640 --> 42:33.640 Is that right? 42:33.640 --> 42:36.640 Do we think it's feasible? 42:36.640 --> 42:40.640 Yeah, remember we picked up a lot of link coverage, too. 42:40.640 --> 42:43.640 But how busy late? 42:43.640 --> 42:46.640 I can't remember all that. 42:46.640 --> 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. 42:55.640 --> 43:00.640 We have a medical team out there. 43:00.640 --> 43:05.640 Is Madison Lake more equipped for ice rescues than we have? 43:05.640 --> 43:09.640 They have some more water, so you should have to read it. 43:09.640 --> 43:13.640 And realistically, we both be out there. 43:13.640 --> 43:16.640 The students run the call. 43:16.640 --> 43:23.640 The way that it's much, or almost out to the landing. 43:23.640 --> 43:27.640 I hope I call them just correctly, I guess I'm not sure. 43:27.640 --> 43:30.640 We could just evolve to the... 43:30.640 --> 43:34.640 You'd be governed like you were rolling, and that takes you down to the D&R landing. 43:34.640 --> 43:36.640 Yeah, it would be very hard. 43:36.640 --> 43:41.640 Even on the west side of the lake there, we'd come almost up to the gantar on there. 43:41.640 --> 43:44.640 We're only 50 feet off shore, I think. 43:44.640 --> 43:47.640 For the lake. 43:47.640 --> 43:52.640 Well, you know... 43:53.640 --> 43:58.640 If it's not reasonable to pick up 10 or 15, we understand. 43:58.640 --> 44:04.640 Are you counting the west part of the lake, or is that shaded because it's a city, Madison Lake? 44:04.640 --> 44:08.640 Well, we've got two different colors on there. 44:08.640 --> 44:09.640 Yeah. 44:09.640 --> 44:13.640 My request did the graphic here. 44:13.640 --> 44:19.640 So the yellow highlighted area is the primary area that we're looking for coverage in. 44:19.640 --> 44:24.640 I'm taller than mine, but I believe the other is green, and that's just kind of optional. 44:24.640 --> 44:25.640 Yeah. 44:25.640 --> 44:31.640 We'll agree to the northwest corner of what you're asking us to pick up your buck. 44:31.640 --> 44:36.640 Plus a couple other feet from the point of the campground. 44:36.640 --> 44:37.640 From what? 44:37.640 --> 44:38.640 Yeah. 44:38.640 --> 44:40.640 The campground's looking at us. 44:40.640 --> 44:41.640 What? 44:41.640 --> 44:45.640 It's the other side of the narrows. 44:45.640 --> 44:46.640 Yeah. 44:46.640 --> 44:49.640 It's the other side in that section. 44:49.640 --> 44:50.640 Okay. 44:50.640 --> 44:53.640 This map maybe shows a little better. 44:53.640 --> 44:59.640 I'm having a hard time seeing that. 44:59.640 --> 45:02.640 Part of the scanning and photocopy. 45:02.640 --> 45:05.640 Those colors are what's darker. 45:05.640 --> 45:06.640 Yeah. 45:06.640 --> 45:09.640 Before photocopying, you have to think, you don't know. 45:10.640 --> 45:11.640 Yeah. 45:11.640 --> 45:12.640 But that makes it better. 45:12.640 --> 45:13.640 Yeah. 45:13.640 --> 45:14.640 That makes it better. 45:14.640 --> 45:15.640 Yeah. 45:15.640 --> 45:16.640 That makes it better. 45:16.640 --> 45:17.640 Yeah. 45:17.640 --> 45:18.640 That makes it better. 45:18.640 --> 45:19.640 Okay. 45:19.640 --> 45:20.640 Here. 45:20.640 --> 45:24.640 We're looking at how we need to pick up this segment. 45:24.640 --> 45:25.640 Okay. 45:25.640 --> 45:31.640 How many homes do we currently service for the sections we have? 45:31.640 --> 45:34.640 I don't know. 45:34.640 --> 45:35.640 I'm not sure. 45:36.640 --> 45:41.640 You're going to pick up a lot more. 45:41.640 --> 45:48.640 Is it a possibility to make the lake itself minus some lake's 45:48.640 --> 45:50.640 responsibility? 45:50.640 --> 45:54.640 If you're overlooking it, a drowning incident or somebody 45:54.640 --> 45:59.640 through the ice, the response time is critical there. 45:59.640 --> 46:04.640 I don't know how we would address that. 46:05.640 --> 46:12.640 It's just because that's always what we've done, doesn't, 46:12.640 --> 46:15.640 and we can't change it. 46:15.640 --> 46:20.640 I don't think you'll get a form of clothing from out of 46:20.640 --> 46:22.640 selection if you've got a phone. 46:22.640 --> 46:23.640 I don't know. 46:23.640 --> 46:27.640 I didn't expect him to do certain calls. 46:28.640 --> 46:33.640 Then at that point, why wouldn't they just do the 46:33.640 --> 46:39.640 fire department, or relying on? 46:39.640 --> 46:40.640 Okay. 46:40.640 --> 47:06.960 Okay, so this is something that we can address at the meeting, or yeah, and I can maybe do 47:06.960 --> 47:09.560 a little better with my magic marker. 47:09.560 --> 47:12.200 Maybe try to get a better diagram that you can see. 47:12.200 --> 47:14.560 Can we maybe see how many holes there's a little bit? 47:14.560 --> 47:19.040 Yeah, that's what meant like how many house properties are there, things like that. 47:19.040 --> 47:20.040 Okay. 47:20.040 --> 47:22.040 Property valuation. 47:22.040 --> 47:23.040 Moment. 47:23.040 --> 47:32.280 But that doesn't matter for us, because it's not in our formula, you don't have to be. 47:32.280 --> 47:33.280 Yeah. 47:33.280 --> 47:34.280 Okay. 47:34.280 --> 47:35.280 So we will. 47:35.280 --> 47:40.280 We're coming to see if there's any calls in that area there in three or two of those 47:40.280 --> 47:41.280 sections. 47:41.280 --> 47:44.280 I'll give you some idea what will work in that area. 47:44.280 --> 47:45.280 No idea. 47:45.280 --> 47:47.280 Do you want to call a year? 47:47.280 --> 47:48.280 Yeah, right. 47:48.280 --> 48:11.280 So we're going to get a little bit more information on that. 48:11.280 --> 48:13.280 Is that good? 48:13.280 --> 48:28.280 Are you receptive to the idea of scheduling something before the hours need? 48:28.280 --> 48:29.280 Yeah. 48:29.280 --> 48:32.280 We could. 48:32.280 --> 48:39.280 I don't know if we could just do it at a meeting night. 48:39.280 --> 48:40.280 Yeah. 48:40.280 --> 48:43.280 We're going to have June and June and June and July. 48:43.280 --> 48:44.280 No. 48:44.280 --> 49:09.080 June 8th and June 22nd would be the June meetings, June 22nd would be able to get the information 49:09.080 --> 49:16.080 and I would honestly would rather be June 8th because I'm not here at the 10th to the 49:16.080 --> 49:21.080 20th and I don't know if I'd be able to help with anything with getting them full together. 49:21.080 --> 49:24.080 You want to say it? 49:24.080 --> 49:25.080 Okay. 49:25.080 --> 49:29.080 Unless you guys want to do it. 49:29.080 --> 49:32.080 June 8th it is, I guess. 49:32.080 --> 49:34.080 Okay. 49:34.080 --> 49:38.080 June 8th. 49:38.080 --> 49:43.080 Yep. 49:43.080 --> 49:53.080 Last thing we have is a visit from John Anson. 49:53.080 --> 50:00.080 Good evening. 50:00.080 --> 50:05.080 Thanks for your flexibility. 50:05.080 --> 50:12.080 I took a tour of the county over the last couple hours and grateful that the sheriff department 50:12.080 --> 50:18.080 was not in the area because I started at New Richland at 630 and then hustled to Waldorf 50:18.080 --> 50:22.080 and I appreciate you guys being able to still be available. 50:22.080 --> 50:30.080 My intent tonight is to just provide information for you and to make you aware of a project 50:30.080 --> 50:35.080 that, and I'm going to use quotation marks, is finished after three years of work. 50:35.080 --> 50:40.080 And the reason why I use quotation marks is because I'd like to think that it's probably 50:40.080 --> 50:45.080 not ever formally finished because it will go constantly through changes and updates 50:45.080 --> 50:50.080 and I'm going to hand you this and you can keep those. 50:50.080 --> 50:52.080 That's however you want to use them. 50:52.080 --> 50:56.080 But just to give you a really quick background, I teach at Wasica, I grew up in Wasica, I've 50:56.080 --> 50:59.080 been back since 1991. 50:59.080 --> 51:09.080 I had a passion for local history and worked extremely hard to incorporate my students 51:09.080 --> 51:14.080 into a project that started out as just a tour of Wasica history and some wonderful people 51:14.080 --> 51:18.080 at the city worked to get a grant and then we worked with the school. 51:18.080 --> 51:24.080 So this has become a collaboration between multiple cities and schools and volunteers 51:24.080 --> 51:30.080 and the county has basically said we see value in this and so the county is really just 51:30.080 --> 51:36.080 trying to shoulder this and said we want to use this as a way to promote life in our county. 51:36.080 --> 51:42.080 And so ultimately we started with thinking we just want to make this one tour of Wasica history 51:42.080 --> 51:48.080 and then what we found out was, this is a platform of which that allows other tours 51:48.080 --> 51:53.080 and it worked its way finally to a point of saying let's use this to promote 51:53.080 --> 51:59.080 not just the wonderful histories of our four communities, so four of the tours are 51:59.080 --> 52:04.080 Wasica history, Jangel history, Waldorf history and Erichson history. 52:04.080 --> 52:10.080 But beyond that we also took a step and said well we've got the tours, it's no more, 52:10.080 --> 52:13.080 there's no limit on content, there's no limit on downloads. 52:13.080 --> 52:20.080 Let's add more tours to promote elements of our county to make life in our county highlighted 52:20.080 --> 52:23.080 through the set of tours in this app. 52:23.080 --> 52:29.080 And it's not only a website that is very user friendly, it works very, very well as a website. 52:29.080 --> 52:35.080 It's also an app and it's in the app store and you download it onto your phone 52:35.080 --> 52:38.080 because of the significant amount of content in it. 52:38.080 --> 52:43.080 It is a bit of a slow download at first but then once it gets on your phone it works fantastic. 52:43.080 --> 52:48.080 And so it now is at a point where we're really wanting to get it out there 52:48.080 --> 52:50.080 and make it available to people. 52:50.080 --> 52:55.080 And so I volunteered to say I'll touch base with the different cities in the county 52:55.080 --> 52:59.080 and so that's why I'm here tonight is to share just really briefly about it. 52:59.080 --> 53:04.080 And I've worked already Caitlin. 53:04.080 --> 53:08.080 Thank you, I've worked with Caitlin already a little bit on this but just to give you an update 53:08.080 --> 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. 53:13.080 --> 53:20.080 Besides the four history tours it also includes tours of all the schools in the county. 53:20.080 --> 53:26.080 And it's not just kind of generic and vanilla, it's a number of images and websites 53:26.080 --> 53:32.080 and social media and even interviews with each of the principles of the 16 different county schools. 53:32.080 --> 53:38.080 And it's all GPS driven so it's based on a map and you go and you visit it 53:38.080 --> 53:44.080 and you can ignore certain things or you know visit other kinds of things. 53:44.080 --> 53:49.080 So that's our schools and then we also have an attractions and events. 53:49.080 --> 53:57.080 So it's everything from golf courses to libraries to bowling to community celebrations 53:57.080 --> 53:59.080 like hey days and songs in the park. 53:59.080 --> 54:05.080 Those are all tour stops on the attractions tour of which there are 34 of those 54:05.080 --> 54:10.080 that we highlight in the county and just meeting with Waldorf a little while ago. 54:10.080 --> 54:14.080 We need to have a 35th because we did not include Waldorf days. 54:14.080 --> 54:16.080 So now that's going to be on there. 54:16.080 --> 54:21.080 And that's the whole point of this is that as more people visit it hopefully and use it 54:21.080 --> 54:27.080 they may recognize you know what that's not exactly accurate or this state's wrong or whatever. 54:27.080 --> 54:30.080 I cannot be offended hardly at all in loan. 54:30.080 --> 54:33.080 I mean please tell us our goal is to be accurate and thorough 54:33.080 --> 54:38.080 and we want this valuable and everybody knows that if a website is inaccurate 54:38.080 --> 54:41.080 it loses its credibility and it loses its visits. 54:41.080 --> 54:48.080 And so we want this to be frequently updated and you know if there's an issue or a concern. 54:48.080 --> 54:54.080 So besides the four histories and the schools and the attractions which includes like I said 54:54.080 --> 55:00.080 the golf courses, libraries, everything for attractions there's 37 bars and restaurants in the county. 55:00.080 --> 55:01.080 I don't know if you knew that. 55:01.080 --> 55:02.080 I did not know that. 55:02.080 --> 55:06.080 I joke with my students when I teach my Waseka history class in Waseka. 55:06.080 --> 55:11.080 We like our churches, our parks and our bars which I'm not sure what that says about us. 55:11.080 --> 55:17.080 But there are 37 on that tour all scattered throughout the county. 55:17.080 --> 55:21.080 And each one of them has everything we could get from them. 55:21.080 --> 55:27.080 Images, websites, social media and then if you're using it on your phone you tap a button 55:27.080 --> 55:30.080 and it navigates you to that destination. 55:30.080 --> 55:36.080 If you're on the history tour, two of our four history tours, if you have the app open 55:36.080 --> 55:44.080 if you get within a certain number of feet and you have a head fold in the narration automatically begins. 55:44.080 --> 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. 55:50.080 --> 55:55.080 Whether it's a history tour spot or a park. 55:55.080 --> 56:00.080 So it's a really cool I think and it accommodates to people that aren't local. 56:00.080 --> 56:05.080 That maybe grew up here and one still stay attached and they want to know more about it 56:05.080 --> 56:08.080 or they have great memories of the Jamesville history, whatever it might be. 56:08.080 --> 56:13.080 So there's 10 stops on the accommodations tour in the county. 56:13.080 --> 56:16.080 29 stops on the shops. 56:16.080 --> 56:24.080 33 churches in the county and 25 different parks and all of the parks have drone flyovers 56:24.080 --> 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. 56:30.080 --> 56:32.080 And then there's also one on trails. 56:32.080 --> 56:40.080 So all of this is to be truthful information you could probably find somewhere out there. 56:40.080 --> 56:47.080 But it's now all in one place and that's the beauty of it from our perspective. 56:47.080 --> 56:55.080 And so our intent is to and the county's intent which Commissioner Malta is here tonight as well. 56:55.080 --> 56:57.080 The county is basically saying we value this. 56:57.080 --> 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. 57:07.080 --> 57:10.080 And I want to show you one other quick thing. 57:10.080 --> 57:19.080 The idea is that Caitlin will work to deliver those to every brick and mortar location on all of the tours. 57:19.080 --> 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, 57:26.080 --> 57:31.080 she's going to deliver those with a folder so that they're there and available. 57:31.080 --> 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, 57:39.080 --> 57:43.080 there's this, which is basically serves the same purpose. 57:43.080 --> 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. 57:51.080 --> 57:57.080 So I'll work with her to find out how many of these that Jamesville wants. 57:57.080 --> 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. 58:06.080 --> 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. 58:20.080 --> 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. 58:30.080 --> 58:36.080 If you want to highlight elements of it to promote within your own social media community. 58:36.080 --> 58:43.080 A whole lot of people, county, city, school, volunteers will seek area foundation. 58:43.080 --> 58:46.080 All people gave resources to build it. 58:46.080 --> 58:49.080 It's of no value if nobody uses it. 58:49.080 --> 58:50.080 Right?
