1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Yeah, John is back. I saw the link. Thank you. Flex is back as well. Sorry about that.

2
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
No, let's go ahead.

3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Okay.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
After our rural interruption there.

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Thank you.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Okay, so we've got some surface materials that are.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Consistent within the developers.

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Okay.

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Okay.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Sure.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Okay.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Okay.

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Okay.

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Okay.

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Okay.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Okay.

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Go ahead.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Okay.

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Yeah. Surface materials, sort of a darkish wood with, you know, a very dark, almost black.

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
metal that has got a little bit of a corrugated look to it.

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
So those surface materials along with.

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Some masonry.

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
That support base.

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
That we see on.

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
The quick trip.

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Athletic center.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Athletic complex, forgive me.

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
So we worked with those materials like that to provide a cohesive experience.

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And also do something that's maybe a little bit different to stand out.

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So there's a little bit of a balance there.

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And we will show those to you on these.

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Two concepts.

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
So this is one direction.

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
With different variations of what we could do.

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
For this.

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
This is a gateway sign, meaning the entrance.

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So you're.

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It marks the, the start of the place.

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
So deforest yards district is the recommended name.

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
And, you know, we're worth just thinking that let's pick some typography that is.

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
That echoes what's being done by the developers, but also stands on its own.

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
And works well with the, you know, the village identity.

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
So we've got the district name at the top.

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Very prominent and we're using the logo as, you know, the signature.

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
At the end.

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
In this case.

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
So it's sort of, you know, it.

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
It lets people know that this is the district and the village is behind it.

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Just a few different ways to, to structure these signs with regard to the base material.

50
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
What is the, you know, the main part of the sign.

51
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And then on each of these, we're showing a, you know, human silhouette there on the right.

52
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Just for a sense of scale.

53
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
So this is, these will be, you know, mostly viewed by people that are driving.

54
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
So size is important.

55
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So these are probably about, you know, sevenish feet tall here.

56
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:37,000
And, you know, we would get, you know, we, we'd narrow the size, you know, working with the, the selected signage vendor.

57
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:47,000
The next page shows how this concept could also hold some of the wayfinding aspects.

58
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000
We're using these two as an example.

59
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Okay.

60
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And then this, the other direction concept be this one leans in a little bit.

61
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Deeper into that that metal on the left and the right that sort of brownish.

62
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Color could be, you know, like a weathered metal sort of a rust, a patina.

63
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
With aluminum letters, you know, that are extruded dimensional on top.

64
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000
In this case, we're using the force logo at the top, but it's still a smallish compared to the district name.

65
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,000
So we want people to see the district, but also see the logo, you know, second to know that this is.

66
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
This is the village.

67
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
This is the gorgeous project.

68
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,000
And second page here for concept be wayfinding.

69
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
You know, this is an idea of how we could treat that directional information.

70
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
In a different way.

71
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:05,000
You know, maybe those the arrows are, you know, extend beyond the frame of the main sign and are extra visible that way.

72
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,000
These will all be ideally lit either from the ground.

73
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Or perhaps some other way that will investigate with the signage.

74
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Fabricators, but you know, these will obviously need to, you know, want them to just go dark and be absent during during night time.

75
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
So that will be part of this too.

76
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:53,000
And now we can circle back and take your comments and questions.

77
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Anybody have anything.

78
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Great way signs a personally like the fourth one.

79
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
With the.

80
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Brick, it's a brick.

81
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,000
It's, it's, it's like the, you know, masonry stone.

82
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Still masonry with similar to what's.

83
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
What was used on the athletic complex.

84
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Okay.

85
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I like number four also.

86
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
And I also liked where you showed down below that right there.

87
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,000
The wayfinding and how that sign is within there as opposed to the other ones that had the arrows sticking out of the edges.

88
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,000
I like, I do like this.

89
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000
It's all I got, Jim.

90
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000
I guess if you go back to the five, I personally like, I think was two or four.

91
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
I like the dark wood with the.

92
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
White lettering on it.

93
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
I can get behind for also.

94
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,000
I did sort of like the protruding arrows, but what I didn't like about it.

95
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Is that I didn't really see it as a arrows where I thought it should have a white arrow in the protruding portion.

96
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
But either way I'm fine.

97
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:35,000
The couple questions that I have is if you go back to the existing signs of the forest.

98
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
And noticed all of them seem to have, and sorry I'm not looking at Windsor.

99
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
I'm looking specifically at the forest.

100
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
But there's a very dark background on those.

101
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,000
So I think it's nice that we're matching that, but they all have a bit of a swoosh on it.

102
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000
So I wonder if we want to incorporate like an arc on the top rather than just straight.

103
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Black.

104
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Like maybe if you use that sign number four, maybe the light would be an arc above.

105
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:19,000
The square of the dark is something I was trying to bring unity through the signs.

106
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And the thing I was trying to pull up on my phone.

107
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,000
I'm wondering if it would play into this at all is that there's a Savannah Brooks is it.

108
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000
They have a sign that's right in the district also and I don't know what that looks like.

109
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Are you talking about the parade of homes sign or the one on the corner of Hanover and whatever it is.

110
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Williamson.

111
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Yeah.

112
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Yeah.

113
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
I couldn't go to the street view on the phone.

114
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
That's all the comments I have again.

115
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:06,000
I don't want to I'm hoping that that can somewhat match in with the divorce yards field being that it's.

116
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
In the same location.

117
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000
It's got the same background.

118
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Well, it's enough considering they're not that close together probably.

119
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Yeah.

120
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:50,000
I don't know if you'd want to use that brick tone or if the gray was matching other brick tones and other buildings.

121
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:58,000
I guess the last comment that I thought of is looking at the locations.

122
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:05,000
I'd say you have a gateway sign announcing safe Peterson crossing.

123
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:18,000
I'm wondering if we would want a gateway or a smaller sign on the north side of Peterson crossing saying just sell the bear tree the sort of known said that direction.

124
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Yeah, we we thought about any sign on the north north end there too.

125
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:33,000
One of the challenges was not knowing how the press to jack one property was going to set up.

126
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
So as you come in, press the jack one property is going to be on your right hand side.

127
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:45,000
And then it's going to match on the left hand side is Hooper and and the current residential development, which.

128
00:10:46,000 --> 00:11:02,000
No, we wouldn't want to move the sign in the future. So we decided to leave that and have it a part of the development by that press the job of redeveloping the future.

129
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:12,000
I agree with the north or sign as well, but I really like the divorce Wisconsin emblem in the in the first one there.

130
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:22,000
My only comment.

131
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Anybody I'm not a huge fan of that.

132
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:49,000
I guess I'm just a little bit concerned about the sizing you feel that's going to be large enough to me that seems a little bit small for a.

133
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
For a gateway sign traffic.

134
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Yeah, yeah, I think that that's something that will.

135
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000
That we will zero in on with the fabricator.

136
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Once we do know the, you know, the exact locations will meet with them to make sure that it is indeed right sized.

137
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Okay.

138
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
I do want to thank you. I think they're very nice looks and I like the simplicity of it.

139
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
So hopefully help keep the dollars down to.

140
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
So thank you.

141
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Thank you very much.

142
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Appreciate it. Thanks for your feedback everyone.

143
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:38,000
We want to talk about welfare signs now or I think we got almost a unanimous on the gateway sign number four.

144
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Yeah, that's what we're hearing that there's consensus on the or sign here.

145
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Some back and forth in regards to the village of the forest versus the forest Wisconsin.

146
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Well, you know, I think at the staff, though, we talked about that too. I think Stacey has some comments on that.

147
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
He's smiling at me.

148
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Come on Stacey.

149
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Well, one of the things I mentioned was, you know, we're not like at a border and not like below it were between Wisconsin Illinois where you might not know where you are.

150
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,000
We all know where we're going to Wisconsin.

151
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000
So I lean towards the village of the forest. I think it sounds.

152
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Very prestigious and I think it's a very unique area to our community and it just adds a.

153
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
An element to it.

154
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000
So it's going to be the village of the forest not before it's gone.

155
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,000
What about the logo I personally like our logo and how much we've started got accustomed to it.

156
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:53,000
That was another question I had with the logo was how big it would actually be on the sign and is it recognizable as people are driving by like looking at some of these you really just see the oval.

157
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000
We know it's our logo because we live and breathe it every day.

158
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:06,000
This is mostly going to be visitors to our community. Are they going to recognize that it's our logo or they depending on what the size is and how fast they're driving by or are they going to recognize that.

159
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:16,000
So does it make more sense to say prominent village of the forest so they recognize we're into forest or is it seeing a circle emblem that they might not.

160
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
You know, connect the dots to but open to anything and.

161
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Yeah, I would agree. I think with the logo there.

162
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
I agree with everything you said Stacy and then also to add.

163
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
I think it's just a little too busy.

164
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000
You want to keep it a little more simpler.

165
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I think I'll just mention something if we ever do rebrand and we have our logo there.

166
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Then we have to change the sign up.

167
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000
So if it's just says village of the forest, that's never going to change.

168
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,000
So.

169
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Do you want to talk about wayfinding.

170
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Yeah, I think there are some conversation about the wayfinding. I think there's a little bit of consensus around this sign, but we just want to confirm that.

171
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Drop down a little so we can see the errors.

172
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Was this another option for the second option for the gateway sign.

173
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000
So this is the second option for the wayfinding.

174
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Melanie.

175
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
For the wayfinding, I'll just echo Jan's comments from previously.

176
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000
I like, I don't like the protruding arrows as much as the white.

177
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,000
I think it looks cleaner and they're more obvious to me as direction arrows.

178
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
I can go along with that.

179
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Anybody else?

180
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
I'm fine with that.

181
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
I just want to bring up a question.

182
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,000
And the deforest yards district being dark on a medium background is that concerning.

183
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:01,000
I mean, should that be white? I think it was white in the gateway sign.

184
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Again, I'm good either way, but I just want to bring it up for discussion.

185
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Yeah, I think that the depending on the final surface materials.

186
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:23,000
You know, we would once we actually see the actual substrate will know if it should be black or white.

187
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:31,000
It will be, you know, ideally it will be lit so that we'd be able to see it no matter what.

188
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,000
But yeah, we will, of course, pay close attention to readability.

189
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Because that would be a shame if you couldn't see it.

190
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Okay, anybody else? Otherwise, I guess we like the arrows on the sign.

191
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Correct? Yes, unanimous. Good.

192
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And then the rest of the details will come in the design of the sign.

193
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Does anybody else care about the swishiness?

194
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
About that.

195
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Does anybody else care about having like an arc or the sort of swishiness that I was on the signs?

196
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,000
You're no swish.

197
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,000
I'm in different. I could go either way.

198
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Yeah, I could go either way.

199
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Okay, so we'll leave it up as this and go from there.

200
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Let's do that.

201
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Great. Thank you, John and Fletcher.

202
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Great.

203
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Reminder for the group here. So we'll go ahead and prepare the specs and bids for this.

204
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
We'll go ahead and issue the bids. And so the next time you'll see this is to set the bids.

205
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:02,000
And we do have a tight deadline here to set the bids before the expenditure deadline of tax income and district number seven,

206
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:14,000
which is that June summer of days. There's a number of projects that will be coming before you over the next two meetings that have to deal with tax income and district seven because of that deadline.

207
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Okay.

208
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Is that it for you, Bill?

209
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Sorry, is that a question about that? I saw it's going to go to the papers.

210
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Is that a requirement?

211
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Public bed.

212
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,000
It's a requirement for.

213
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Well, if that's it for signage, let's move on to department updates, administration update, Bill Chang.

214
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Yeah, just quickly, this morning, you should have received an email from me or an invitation. I just want to make sure that you received it or the groundbreaking of the fire station number two next Monday at 1030.

215
00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Just let me know if you intend to attend and we can post a possible quorum necessary.

216
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Okay.

217
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Finance update Brandon.

218
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Thank you much. I just wanted to make sure I introduced myself formally again. I'm Brandon. I'm officially the finance director here.

219
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:22,000
I was at a couple or meetings before, but I'm officially in also just wanted to make sure I extended the invite to all the either if you wanted to schedule one on one with me or a little bit of time to catch up.

220
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Or talk at all. I'd be more than happy to do anything of that.

221
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Just a few things within the budget or within the finance world too.

222
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
We have started discussions on the 2027 budget season.

223
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
More internally and just what the timeline is going to be within here.

224
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,000
We're going to shoot for a goal to have a timeline schedule presented to the board here in early June.

225
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000
So you all just get the chance to weigh in on it.

226
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Any suggestions or change or anything like that within the prior budget season and next season.

227
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
We can accept that right away.

228
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:07,000
The village after that we have just successfully submitted our annual PSC audit that's public service commission for the water utility.

229
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000
The biggest change this year on it was that the village was now classified as a class AB utility.

230
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,000
What that means is that through responsible growth, the village has now exceeded 4000 connections onto the utility.

231
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
So in the PSC world, they just want way more detail out of us.

232
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Instead of just operations, we had to split out exactly what every level of operation was within there and so forth.

233
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,000
So through the responsible smart growth, we have exceeded that connection.

234
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000
So we're now a class AB. So just way more detailed reporting for the transparency with them there.

235
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:54,000
The last thing I just had is that our next financial report that we're going to be needing to submit here is the Wisconsin DOR form C.

236
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
It's called.

237
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
It's just an annual report that needs to be submitted to the state of Wisconsin.

238
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:07,000
The main purpose for that is for the state to review annual state aid payments to us.

239
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:14,000
So we schedule, we do it on time. We get more state aid and responsible state aid if we're late with it.

240
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,000
We have the potential to lose out on state aid. So that's going to be our next report.

241
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
It's due May 15th and we have a goal of trying to get it done this week.

242
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Thank you.

243
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:35,000
What's going on out there? Is this storm? There's something going on up here.

244
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Oh, Ricky, please for an update. Chief Olson.

245
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Yeah, just wanted to reemphasize something we talked about earlier this year.

246
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,000
We continue to have problems and my problems lose. I mean, it's still out in the community.

247
00:21:50,000 --> 00:22:00,000
The kids on these off highway motorcycles, we did have one incident where an officer tried to literally pull over because they were driving on the street.

248
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:11,000
They fled from the officer and the problem is when they flee, they fled onto the trail system, which then puts anybody on the trail system at risk because they're hitting that thing at 30, 35 miles an hour.

249
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Through good police work, the officer found out who it was referred felony charges against the youth, the juvenile to the Children's Center for fleeing and alluding an officer.

250
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:28,000
So it wasn't the first time that person had been stopped. The father was also cited for promoting unauthorized person and drive a motor vehicle.

251
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:36,000
So we continue to see the issue. I mean, I can't go anywhere in the community and they get somebody to stop me and ask me about him.

252
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:42,000
We're still working to try to message it. Stacy's put some really good stuff together for us to put on social media.

253
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:50,000
We continue to work on it, emphasize it to the school to try to get families, kids, parents to realize these are not street worthy vehicles.

254
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:57,000
And before, hopefully, it never happens that somebody gets injured or killed riding one of them because they don't pay attention to the traffic laws.

255
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000
They just dart into traffic from everywhere. And I just fear somebody is going to get seriously injured.

256
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,000
We're trying to do everything we can to avoid that. So I just wanted to bring that to your attention.

257
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Jan, can you tell me what date did this particular incident happen?

258
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
I believe it was within the last two weeks.

259
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Okay, because, you know, I live on Western Green. I'm back there every day and there still are quite a few of them out there.

260
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:31,000
And there's some real fast, crazy drivers. They've got their helmets on, but the rest of us aren't sure.

261
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,000
So I was just wondering if it was in the last couple of days.

262
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
I've been seeing them back there quite a bit.

263
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
It was within the past two weeks, I believe.

264
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Yeah, I know that there's about, I can say six different regular drivers out there.

265
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:59,000
A lot of double riding going on, then they're going up under the streets and so forth. So appreciate your work on it.

266
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
I think service update, Judd.

267
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Oops, I'm sorry, Jim.

268
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Is this going to ask if you're a marketing could also include the single tires?

269
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Do you know what I mean? There's the one.

270
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:18,000
The one wheelers? Yeah. Yeah, we can. We can talk with Stacy about that later about stuff to put out of social media.

271
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Okay, thank you.

272
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Yep.

273
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Public service update, Judd.

274
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I got stuff in Greg's yet stuff.

275
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,000
So just thank the board for allowing us to Kelly touched on it.

276
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
I think the last time I heard going to a conference.

277
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Well, we were able to go to the APWA Wisconsin chapter conference in Brookfield two weeks ago.

278
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,000
And then last week we were at the APWA North American snow conference.

279
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
So Greg, I and Nate, who's our streets former and got to go.

280
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:56,000
It's a great opportunity for learning to learn about how things are done just like we do or better in other communities throughout the country at the APWA snow conference.

281
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:05,000
There's a lot of good classes were able to take from AI best practices, leadership, recognition, how to, you know,

282
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,000
properly recognize your team. And then the state conference is always great as well. The spring conference.

283
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:18,000
It gives us an opportunity to meet and talk with our fellow folks who are in our community or in the state, even.

284
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
So we were able to connect with Dane County.

285
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
The highway commissioners and have good conversations with him. So there's more stuff to come.

286
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:33,000
So a lot of these things will be bringing forward that we like to implement in the coming year or so as we flush things out and see what the best practice we want to do.

287
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000
But again, thank you for giving us that opportunity to learn and grow.

288
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,000
You're welcome.

289
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:56,000
And then I just have a couple of things. We're finally back to somewhat normal public works jobs rather than picking up 319 truckloads of brush plus five or six loads of wood chip, you know, from shipping.

290
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:05,000
So the guys guys did a great job and they're really tired of brush. So we're moving on and hopefully we don't get any more storms.

291
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:11,000
I just want to provide you that number of the huge number of a lot of the brush.

292
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:22,000
And then so we've got we took down the dragons off the library last year because they were deteriorating and falling apart.

293
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,000
So I've been on a mission to try to figure out who can build these for us.

294
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:38,000
I'm following three vendors and actually the vendor that we're going to go with that she actually works. She's a library maker Jenny.

295
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:52,000
This is her template that she made just to kind of show off what it's going to look very similar. This is made out of oak. She's going to make it out of PVC plastic.

296
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,000
So it's going to last for a very long time. The paint will last.

297
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:10,000
She's spent a lot of time just trying to figure out how to how to make these things so they last. She's she's amazing artist.

298
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:19,000
And then like she's talked to people from Norway of where these originated from the designs.

299
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:33,000
So she's got a lot of invested into this and I just wanted to share her talent and that we're going to go with her on making these and hopefully by I'm going to say September October.

300
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:40,000
We'll have them back up and looking looking great. So what is your name again, Greg Jenny.

301
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
She's a library maker. So.

302
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Nice. Nice job. Thank you.

303
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Administrative services update Kelly. Oops. I'm sorry. Community development. Alex.

304
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Oh, perfect.

305
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Administrative services Kelly.

306
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:10,000
We are in the tail end of liquor and cigarette license renewal period.

307
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:18,000
So far this year we've brought in 124 applications for new or renew renewals for operators.

308
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:25,000
We have 19 liquor applications and 11 cigarette tobacco and vaping license.

309
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:37,000
And so Joelle has been working very diligently to assist all of our licensees on getting that paperwork into us in a timely fashion.

310
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000
So that's all I have. Thank you.

311
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Our creation and community enrichment, Reese and your associate.

312
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Yes, I thought I would bring a special guest on with me for my update tonight.

313
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,000
So you guys should have all received an email from Sam with the apparel order.

314
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Those are due by May 17th. So if you want to get one in, just make sure you do it by then.

315
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Otherwise our next one probably won't be towards until towards the end of the year.

316
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,000
It's hard for us to open up them in between.

317
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:18,000
And then Tricia wanted to share that we did receive two grants for the farmers market this year.

318
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:34,000
But each for $1,000. So that would be nice. And I don't remember if I shared what we do have a new farmers market manager that started today with Tricia working on stuff and is excited to get the market going the first Tuesday and June.

319
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
And that's all I've got.

320
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Thank you.

321
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Communications update Stacey Harmon.

322
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:49,000
I'll just share this past week. We've onboarded our communication coordinator, Deeptee. She's doing a great job. We've been busy working on summer events.

323
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Working on branding and marketing, getting all the Facebook social media calendars and everything updated and branded.

324
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,000
And then I've been working with Alex on launching the home reach project.

325
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Right. So I'm going to home reach the forest project, which will be coming out and engaged for soon. So that will be announced by him.

326
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
And that's about it.

327
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Okay.

328
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:21,000
As far as Windsor fire and EMS update, I do not see Chief Lefebvre in person or on zoom.

329
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:37,000
We'll pass on that. Any other business that lawfully comes before the committee for discussion only.

330
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,000
You want to be president Greg.

331
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Last thing on the agenda is adjournment. Is there motion to adjourn? Motion by Jim.

Okay, it is 6.06 p.m. Let's call to order the regular village board meeting from May 5th.

336
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000

337
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:47,000
A recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Brad, would you like to leave this, please?

338
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000

00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Does anyone need anything separated out?

343
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,000
We don't.

344
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:11,000

Public appearances.

348
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,000
These are the gentlemen with the radio.

349
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:48,000
They can either do their presentation while they're during their proclamation or during a couple of weeks.

350
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Oh, 9.2.

351
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Okay.

352
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Well, for public appearances, let's hear from the gentleman.

353
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
It was handwriting. I wish I could read.

354
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Regarding the amateur radio weekend.

355
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Steve.

356
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
What's your last name, Steve?

357
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:21,000
You've got a seat for the record.

358
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000
If you would state your name and address, please and push the button to get the mic.

359
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
The term green and you're ready to go.

360
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Okay. Green. We have my.

361
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Well, my name is W nine gz. Oh, this is my call sign, but I'm also Steve.

362
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,000
I'm 49 18 Academy drive and Madison and I'm glad to be here.

363
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:49,000
And we're spending a lot of time in this area in planning for field day and amateur radio operators.

364
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Geeks who talk to each other from their basements.

365
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:59,000
They're also doing a lot of public service work and part of that is providing support for the government in the case of a national emergency.

366
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:06,000
I mean, our group was very active in the recent sky one and the storms and things like that.

367
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:14,000
But once a year, we get together and we set up an emergency command center in a park somewhere where it's all run off emergency power for 24 hours.

368
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,000
So, you know, it's put up our own tennis set set up the radios, the whole nine yards.

369
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
And we move around to do it in different places.

370
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Last year, we were in Verona at.

371
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Badger Prairie County Park.

372
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
This year, we have chosen Schumacher farm.

373
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Park, which we have never been to before, but I'll tell you what, it's up on a hill.

374
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,000
That's wonderful for us.

375
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Good communications capabilities, but we're going to make it for us.

376
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
It's not just our event.

377
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
It's a chance for us to communicate.

378
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:50,000
It's also for public awareness is for people to understand about emergency communications, what our options are open to you, how you can get involved and things like that.

379
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And so we're going to have people from sky one from, you know, the radio, the weather people going to be there.

380
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,000
The EMS people from Wannakeema are talking about coming.

381
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:08,000
So we've got a whole range of people coming and it's a one time a year when amateur radio operators all over the country.

382
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Get online and do something like this and try and, you know, connect with the public and say,

383
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Immersive preparedness is something we don't think about, but it's something we should consider.

384
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
So let's give you a little taste of it.

385
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
And we're also going to have a get on the air station.

386
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Say, bring your kids out.

387
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000
They want to get on the air.

388
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Talk to somebody.

389
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,000
We'll give them an opportunity.

390
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Is there any questions?

391
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000
We're kind of limited as to questions at this point.

392
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Okay, Dan, you can do one clarifying.

393
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Well, first of all, I wanted to say I find this very interesting and I thank you for doing the emergency.

394
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Operation preparedness.

395
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Something beyond what we normally use in our everyday communications that most of us are using.

396
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Anyways, I did have a question like about how many are there of you in Dane County.

397
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000
That's a good question.

398
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Nationally, there's about 750,000 licensed radio amateurs, not all of them are active.

399
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,000
But I would say in the Dane County area, our club represents, and the couple clubs I belong to present 100 or so.

400
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000
But that's actually a small number of people who are here.

401
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,000
There's a lot of other amateur radio guys because it's very diverse.

402
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
They do a lot of different things.

403
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Everything from mesh networks and ways to eliminate texting and do it by radio.

404
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:38,000
But there's so many different people and we represent kind of the general club of general interest.

405
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
There's two meter repeaters.

406
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
There's all kinds of things.

407
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
So I would say there's hundreds.

408
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:51,000
If I look at the roles of who's around, there's several hundred, but the activity is probably a hundred or two at the most.

409
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Thank you, sir.

410
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Okay.

411
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,000

413
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,000

414
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Nothing but thank you, Jane, for your service.

415
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
And Colleen has your resolution.

Yes, we need a motion.

418
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Okay, what we have here is a resolution thanking Jane Kay Hill, both Graham for her dedicated service to the village of the forest.

419
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Jane, you want to come up while I read it or you want to wait until I'm done.

420
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Okay.

421

425
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:11,000

426

home repairs, and neighborhood improvements.

427
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:25,000
And whereas throughout her service, Mrs. Kay Hill Wolf Graham demonstrated perseverance, thoughtful leadership, and a deep commitment to the village she has called home for many years.

Yeah.

All right, I just wanted to say I was involved with a partnership here that made it possible for us to accomplish the things that are in the resolution.

448
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:49,000
We have one of the most talented staff led by an administrator that we need to hold on to because he is extremely good.

449
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Al has kept me honest and kept me out of trouble more than one could believe.

450
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:06,000
I had to look at him. I had to be able to see his eyes during every meeting and I appreciated him being there when I had questions, but also a partnership with the community and residents.

I'll make a motion to approve that resolution.

469
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Motion by Jim is there a second.

470
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Second.

471
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Seconded by Jan.

472
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,000
All those in favor say aye.

473
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Aye.

474
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,000
All those opposed no.

475
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Motion carries unanimously.

476
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Did she do it?

477
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Would you like to come forth please?

478
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Aye.

479
00:44:44,000 --> 00:45:01,000
All those opposed no.

480
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,000
You see, Dr Allen, President of the forest.

481
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:12,000
I first I first wanted to say thank you so very much for giving me an opportunity to serve with such amazing individuals and.

482
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,600
and staff, you guys are incredible.

483
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,680
You keep us on our toes, you keep us prepared,

484
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:19,880
you keep us informed.

485
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,920
And so I am incredibly humbled to the community.

486
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,440
I am so proud of you.

487
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,640
I'm so proud of you for showing up,

488
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,160
using your voice, bringing each other along,

489
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,400
lifting each other up in my hope,

490
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,400
my goal, my dream and my deepest wish and desire

491
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,320
is that you continue to work together as a family,

492
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,040
continue to show the rest of Wisconsin

493
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,200
and all of the U.S. and across the seas,

494
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,880
how to be a loving kind, effective and caring community.

495
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,760
Whether we agree or disagree, we are always family.

496
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,040
And next is 7.3,

497
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,960
presentation of Resolution 2026-051,

498
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,400
proclaiming June 27th through 28th.

499
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,560
2026 is amateur radio weekend

500
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,200
within the village of DeForest.

501
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,880
Motion to accept the resolution 2026-051.

502
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,760
We have a motion, is there a second?

503
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,120
Second.

504
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,640
Seconded by Brad, all those in favor say aye.

505
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,480
Aye.

506
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:35,480
All those in close, no.

507
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,120
Motion carries unanimously.

508
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,880
Let me just, this is a little bit long.

509
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,680
Whereas amateur radio operators are celebrating

510
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,000
over century of the miracle of the human voice

511
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
broadcast over the airwaves,

512
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,680
and amateur radio has continued to provide a bridge

513
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,640
between people, societies and countries,

514
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,040
by creating friendships and the sharing of ideas.

515
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,880
And whereas amateur radio operators have provided

516
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,360
countless hours of community service,

517
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,840
both in emergencies and to other local organizations

518
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,920
throughout these decades.

519
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,440
And whereas these amateur radio services

520
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,680
are provided wholly uncompensated,

521
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,360
and whereas the village of DeForest

522
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,400
recognizes the services, amateur radio's people

523
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,560
also provide to our many emergency response organizations,

524
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,800
including amateur radio emergency services,

525
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,000
Wisconsin Emergency Management,

526
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,560
and Dane County Emergency Operations Center.

527
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,600
And whereas these same individuals

528
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,080
have demonstrated their value in public assistance

529
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,400
by providing free radio communications

530
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,120
for local parades, bicycle events,

531
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:49,000
walk-athons, fairs, and other charitable public events.

532
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,600
And whereas the village of DeForest, Wisconsin

533
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:56,280
recognizes and appreciates the diligence of these hands,

534
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,440
who also serve as weather spotters

535
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,560
in the sky-worn program of the National Weather Service.

536
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:07,560
And whereas the American Radio Relay League, ARRL,

537
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:12,720
is the National Association for Amateur Radio in the USA.

538
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:17,640
And whereas the ARRL Amateur Radio Field Day exercise

539
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,880
is a 24-hour emergency preparedness exercise

540
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,480
and demonstration of the radio amateur's skills

541
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,200
and readiness to provide self-supporting communications

542
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,720
without further infrastructure being required.

543
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:34,480
And whereas the Four Lakes Amateur Radio Club

544
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,880
of Dane County will host the Field Day exercise

545
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,880
at Schumacher Farm County Park on June 27th and 28th, 2026.

546
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,800
Now therefore be it resolved

547
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,000
that the Village of DeForest Board of Trustees

548
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,520
do hereby officially recognize and designate June 27th

549
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,560
and 2026 as Amateur Radio Weekend

550
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,520
in the Village of DeForest.

551
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,560
Adapted this 5th day of May, 2026.

552
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,400
I'm sorry, I don't have a framed one.

553
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:23,280
Next up on presentations 7.4.

554
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,720
Presentation of Snow and Ice Control Award and update

555
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:31,480
regarding Madison Metropolitan Sewage District.

556
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,640
This will be done by Mr. Eric Dundee.

557
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,800
Thank you, Eric Dundee.

558
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,400
I'm actually here for two topics tonight.

559
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,920
One is I serve as the Executive Director

560
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,720
for the Madison Metropolitan Sewage District.

561
00:49:56,720 --> 00:49:58,840
But the second is as a past president

562
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,600
of the EPWA American Public Works Association,

563
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,240
Wisconsin chapter.

564
00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:07,840
I'm here to congratulate those that do the work

565
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,320
that some of us don't think about all the time.

566
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,480
So what I would like to do is just recognize

567
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,400
the Village of DeForest and the Public Works Department

568
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,800
for the Excellence in Snow and Ice Control Award.

569
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,120
That award was received actually by Village Staff,

570
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,680
which was very supportive and a good thing

571
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,440
a couple of weeks ago.

572
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,960
And one of the highlights is to recognize

573
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,240
that this group in the Village of DeForest

574
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:36,080
is a leader for the state of Wisconsin

575
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,360
and nationally for their snow and ice excellence.

576
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,840
What they do is they balance and demonstrate best practices

577
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:48,000
and winter maintenance while minimizing environmental impacts.

578
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,400
If we think about this, and I'll actually talk about this

579
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,240
as a sewage plant, we try to maintain

580
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,160
contaminants, salt is a contaminant,

581
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:58,360
but we need it for safety.

582
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,360
So we have to balance those things.

583
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,760
So one of the things in the application

584
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,880
and nomination form that the Village had for this award,

585
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,080
I just want to read a few of those and recognize them.

586
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,560
The Village of DeForest Investments,

587
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,120
including in the leadership and the Village Board support

588
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,120
for snow plows with ground speed control dispensing,

589
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:25,160
which means you only put down as much salt as you need

590
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,880
to keep road safe, doing pre-wedding brine to reduce salt

591
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,480
and to increase effectiveness, completing in-house

592
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:39,240
and external staff training programs, community outreach,

593
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:43,120
and even investing in monitoring devices.

594
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,200
The group here is a leader,

595
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,120
and I would like to recognize them for that.

596
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,840
So on behalf of the American Public Works Association,

597
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:54,200
Wisconsin Chapter, I'd like to give them the award again

598
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,720
in front of their peers and their Village Board.

599
00:51:58,720 --> 00:51:59,640
So I want to thank-

600
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,520
That's Blau and Greg Hall.

601
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,400
Would you like to join Mr. Dundee?

602
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,040
Okay.

603
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:26,280
Good job, guys.

604
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,960
You must have a part two to your present.

605
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,560
You have a part two of this works out great.

606
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:49,600
So my second job here tonight is as Executive Director

607
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,840
of the Madison Metropolitan Sewage District.

608
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,120
So this is an opportunity for me to just provide an update

609
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,000
to the Village Board and the community of DeForest

610
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,000
on what is going on in the treatment plant service area.

611
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,800
DeForest is one of those.

612
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,000
So as we move forward, just a little background,

613
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,520
the Madison Metropolitan Sewage District was established in 1930.

614
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,120
It has grown to 24 customer communities.

615
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,080
You can see DeForest at the top of the chain.

616
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,280
So everything that goes down the drain in DeForest

617
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,480
goes all the way down to Southtown Boulevard in Manona

618
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:28,720
down by the Super Walmart.

619
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:30,400
That's what we like to explain.

620
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:35,400
So we serve about 440,000 residents of the population

621
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,280
and that includes all the businesses

622
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,200
and industries in that area.

623
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,920
We collect about 38 million gallons of water a day.

624
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,840
So if you can think of Camp Randall Stadium,

625
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:52,040
fill up the bowl every day, we clean it and send it away

626
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,440
and get the next bowl the next day.

627
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:04,680
And to just explain how the sewage is collected,

628
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,880
basically, if you think of your house,

629
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,760
anything that goes down the drain, this is in your sink,

630
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:13,200
this is in your toilet, this is in your basement drain,

631
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,120
this could be in a apartment complex,

632
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,120
the underground parking.

633
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,040
State of Wisconsin building code and plumbing code is,

634
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,840
if there is a underground parking

635
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,400
in a large residential building,

636
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,280
it goes down the drain to the sewer.

637
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,280
So all of those things, including businesses and industry,

638
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:37,000
goes through pipes into village-owned pipes

639
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,440
that then are then collected

640
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,760
in Madison Metropolitan Sewage District pipes.

641
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,880
Those larger pipes we collect

642
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,120
and we actually pump that to the treatment plant

643
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,560
and then we clean it and pump it away.

644
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,000
And one of the things we like to explain to people is,

645
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,760
we are 1%ers, this is an informal thing we talk about,

646
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,560
but 99% of the water that comes to the treatment plant

647
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,680
is just that, water.

648
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,880
We spend our time, money and energy on the 1%,

649
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,960
all the contaminants, all the things that are flushed,

650
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,520
we have to either take them out

651
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,600
or we have to treat them and to our permit level.

652
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:23,520
And then it turns into what we call as effluent,

653
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,440
basically cleaned waste water, it goes to a stream,

654
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,920
we actually pump all of this to Badfish Creek,

655
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,920
about seven miles south of Madison

656
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,520
and it is considered stream quality.

657
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,200
It is also something that we're proud of

658
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,920
because we just actually won with the DNR Lab of the Year.

659
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,000
So we were able to get that recognition

660
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,080
for all the testing that we do on that.

661
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,280
That ranges everything from our parameters,

662
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,240
which is the solids, nitrogen, phosphorus,

663
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:55,640
chlorides that are in there,

664
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,600
all the way till we are already advanced

665
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,760
in year four and five of our PFAS sampling.

666
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,840
So we are trying to be proactive

667
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,080
and learn about these things as we go.

668
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:12,480
And one thing I took over in this position about 15 months ago

669
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:17,520
and one of the things that we need to do as a sewage district

670
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,160
is make sure that we are watching out for our communities.

671
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,600
The last thing we want to do is not be proactive

672
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,280
with infrastructure renewal

673
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:27,960
and we come to communities and tell them

674
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,560
you have to stop developing.

675
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,600
That happens around the United States.

676
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,120
There are areas that cannot develop

677
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,720
because they do not have the infrastructure.

678
00:56:38,720 --> 00:56:40,640
My job here and my staff's job

679
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,200
is to make sure that all communities that we serve,

680
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,440
all 24 of them can grow the way they want to.

681
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,400
That means businesses, that means infill,

682
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:55,400
that means different community developments,

683
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,320
all of that, that's what we're trying to do

684
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,100
is serve you in that way.

685
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,960
So a few things though, I just wanted to highlight today

686
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,760
is a few of the projects that we're undertaking

687
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,720
that are things that we hope are helping

688
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:12,040
the community as a whole.

689
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,760
And when I say community as a whole,

690
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,560
I mean nationwide, what we are trying to do

691
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,720
is be innovative by saving money

692
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,280
and taking care of the things we have to take care of.

693
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:24,920
One of that is force means.

694
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,120
So we have pipes that are pressurized.

695
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,280
We are basically pushing water through those uphill

696
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,720
to gravity mains and then getting to the treatment plant.

697
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,800
We have now found out in the last five years,

698
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:40,680
the hard truth of building a lot of infrastructure

699
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,640
with the Clean Water Act in the 50s and 60s

700
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,960
and it is now all aging to the point where it's failing.

701
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,240
So in the last five years,

702
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,440
we have had five force main breaks.

703
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,520
For us, this is not a small four inch pipe

704
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,240
or six inch pipe force main break

705
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,880
that may spill a thousand gallons of sewage.

706
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,600
This is in the millions.

707
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,640
Our last one was six million gallons

708
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,600
and we had that turned off within five hours

709
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,120
of when it actually, when we found it.

710
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:13,720
So for us, this is significant.

711
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,840
This is an environmental impact.

712
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,200
So what we're doing is trying to be innovative

713
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,160
and trying to assess these pipes.

714
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:25,000
If you know about public works and utility work

715
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,400
about TV and clean and lining sewers,

716
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,800
basically what you're trying to do is not dig it up.

717
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,600
You're trying to assess the condition

718
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:37,200
while it's below ground and then either put a liner in it,

719
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,240
basically think of putting a coating on the inside

720
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,880
to structurally renew that pipe.

721
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,600
Our problem is with force means there's no access points.

722
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,480
Some of these pipes are five, six miles long

723
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,840
without an access point.

724
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:55,000
So right now we are actually testing solutions

725
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,600
that is signals and I could look behind me

726
00:58:58,600 --> 00:58:59,920
and say radio signals,

727
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:03,240
but it's also sonar and different things like that

728
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,200
to test wall thickness,

729
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:09,840
to test if there's voids in the pipe, all those things.

730
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,480
So that's one thing we're investing in.

731
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,960
One thing you'll hear about if you pay attention

732
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,760
to our budget in 2027 is beyond is

733
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,200
we have to get a handle on this.

734
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:20,960
These are environmental impacts

735
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,520
that we want to pay attention to.

736
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,920
And then we're gonna talk about the treatment plan.

737
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,280
So we are growing in a way that

738
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,200
we have a new WPDS permit.

739
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:38,320
So basically the treatment plan is regulated by a permit

740
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,800
and how much we're supposed to treat.

741
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,720
At the treatment plant, we can only treat so many things.

742
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:48,640
Chloride, which is salt, is one that we cannot treat

743
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,280
or at least treat effectively and cost

744
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:54,480
with a good cost.

745
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,240
Basically what we're saying is,

746
00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:00,720
if we try to treat the salt that is in the water,

747
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,960
we're talking about reverse osmosis system

748
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,560
and we're talking hundreds and hundreds of millions

749
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,680
of dollars to get to that.

750
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,560
So one thing we are talking to communities about now

751
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,480
is chloride reductions.

752
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,600
Not just in road salts, a lot of people think about that.

753
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:17,800
The next thing they think about is,

754
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,800
well, wait a minute, you're putting it on the road.

755
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,960
How does it get into a sewer?

756
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,680
Well, it happens.

757
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,160
Flooding, runoff, going into driveways,

758
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,360
into drains, things like that.

759
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,880
It's all coming to us in one way or the other.

760
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,760
We just got our new permit and the permit limit is lower,

761
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,680
which means that our current place right now,

762
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:43,480
we could violate our permit up to five or 10 times a year

763
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,080
based on the new limit.

764
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,280
So what we're gonna be doing is engaging communities

765
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,360
to figure out what else we can do.

766
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,120
Being preventative saves hundreds and hundreds

767
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,760
of millions of dollars.

768
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,480
So the goal here is what can we do for that?

769
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:02,400
Some of that is roads, some of that is home rebate programs

770
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,360
for water softeners.

771
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,280
We have heard stories of water softeners

772
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,960
taking a 40 pound bag of salt every week.

773
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,040
That's a lot of salt.

774
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:18,880
We receive at the treatment plan 100,000 pounds of salt a day.

775
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,880
We have to meet our permit.

776
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,880
We have to get that number down.

777
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,880
That is gonna be difficult because one of the opportunities

778
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,880
or ways to do that is enforcement.

779
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,880
And enforcement for the sewer district means

780
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,880
we enforce the village of the forest

781
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,880
and then they have to go enforce those things.

782
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,880
So this is where I stop and pause and say,

783
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,880
we are lucky to have a public services group here

784
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,880
into forest that is engaged with us

785
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,880
and helping us talk through these things

786
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,880
because we have to find a solution

787
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,880
for all 24 customer communities

788
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,880
and that's ranging from customers

789
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:03,880
that are 50 houses in a sanitary district

790
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,880
up to the city of Madison.

791
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,880
So one solution is not gonna fit all

792
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,880
but our goal is to work on that.

793
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,880
Oops, of course I hit the wrong one.

794
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,880
And then one of the last things to talk about with everybody,

795
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,880
I don't go anywhere without telling you

796
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,880
don't flush the things that aren't supposed

797
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:28,880
to be flushed down the toilet.

798
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,880
What we wanna do is talk about

799
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,880
non flushables and fat soils and greases.

800
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,880
So these things are flushable wipes.

801
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,880
They are non flushable.

802
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,880
There is lawsuits in the United States about this.

803
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,880
Just because it's advertised as flushable

804
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,880
doesn't mean it doesn't cause problems later.

805
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,880
Yes, it can go down the toilet or go down the drain.

806
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:53,880
Lots of things can.

807
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,880
But what happens is when they go into one of our pumps,

808
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,880
we chew them up or they tear up

809
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,880
and then they come back together and clog a pipe

810
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,880
or they cause problems in other places.

811
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,880
You can find in the national news,

812
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,880
this kind of nothing happening all over the place.

813
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:17,880
For us, we do a lot of nighttime emergency work

814
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,880
calling in our mechanics and electricians and staff

815
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,880
when a pump isn't working and we have to come in

816
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,880
and pull that apart.

817
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,880
That is a messy job.

818
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,880
I will tell you that we can fill a 30 yard dumpster

819
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,880
which is about a quarter of this room

820
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,880
the other day with all the things that we pull out

821
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,880
at the treatment plant of things that are flushed.

822
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,880
So we are trying to make sure we educate everybody

823
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,880
as best we can about prevention on that

824
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,880
and then also fats, oils and greases.

825
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,880
Those things that can go down the drain that end up

826
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,880
sticking in the pipes.

827
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,880
It happens.

828
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:59,880
Well, for us, 440,000 people putting a little bit of fats,

829
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:02,880
oils and greases in the drain turns into a really big problem

830
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,880
by the time it gets to us.

831
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,880
So we are talking about incremental change for people.

832
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:12,880
Every little thing you do helps everybody in the long run.

833
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,880
So with that,

834
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:19,880
the last thing to talk about is infiltration and inflow.

835
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,880
So I talked to you about 38 million gallons a day.

836
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,880
So Camp Randall Stadium filling that up.

837
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,880
In wet weather events or in a very large wet weather event,

838
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,880
my record is 155 million gallons of water

839
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,880
coming to the treatment plant at once.

840
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,880
So instead of one Camp Randall Stadium,

841
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,880
you're talking about four.

842
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:42,880
That creates a problem.

843
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,880
One of the things the forest is doing very well

844
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:47,880
and proactively is working on I and I,

845
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:52,880
basically stopping storm water from getting into your sanitary sewers.

846
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:57,880
What we did here is we made sure to provide our customer community

847
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,880
is with that community outreach as needed.

848
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:02,880
If you want to put it in a utility mailer,

849
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,880
if you want to put it onto social media,

850
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,880
you can go on our website and get the graphics,

851
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,880
get anything you want to use for that.

852
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:15,880
So that's just another note there.

853
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,880
And then, of course, I would welcome you all to come take a tour.

854
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:22,880
My joke is if you're lucky enough, I'll give that tour.

855
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,880
But otherwise, please come check it out.

856
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,880
One of the unique things about Madison is not every community

857
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,880
has a treatment plant.

858
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,880
Regionalization is something the Department of Natural Resources recommends.

859
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:37,880
It's cost effective.

860
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,880
It makes everybody's life a little easier, I would say,

861
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,880
by having one treatment plant in the area.

862
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,880
So thank you.

863
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:48,880
Thank you, Eric.

864
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,880
That was very informative and interesting.

865
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,880
Surprisingly enough.

866
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,880
Yeah.

867
01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,880
I agree with Colleen.

868
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,880
It was very informative and there was a lot of information there.

869
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,880
And I thank you for that.

870
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,880
You had mentioned that DeForest does well in a few different areas.

871
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:14,880
And what my question is, is do you have a way or a mechanism to measure

872
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,880
what's coming from each different community?

873
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:18,880
We do.

874
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,880
So actually that is part of our rate structure.

875
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:26,880
So how we build our customer communities is we split out the flow

876
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,880
from each community or each area that goes through.

877
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,880
DeForest being at what we call the top of the chain,

878
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,880
it's actually very easy to measure yours.

879
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,880
You do, though, have some complexities with DeForest being close

880
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,880
with Windsor and boundaries and then also the town of Vienna.

881
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:47,880
So there is math involved there in making sure we have things separated.

882
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,880
But that is how we build is basically by measuring the flow

883
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:57,880
and then what we call the loadings or the things that are in the wastewater.

884
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,880
Those are the two ways that we build.

885
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,880
Thank you.

886
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,880
Jim.

887
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:07,880
I'm curious.

888
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:12,880
So I'm an engineer and I had a coworker that actually went to MST,

889
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:14,880
the Milwaukee version.

890
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:19,880
And I know when he went there, they were building like the deep tunnels.

891
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:23,880
And I'm wondering if we have any of those problems with storage.

892
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:27,880
I'm hoping we just don't have as much infiltration as they did in Milwaukee.

893
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:34,880
Is that a answer or is that something that we're looking into having more storage?

894
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:39,880
I'll try to keep this brief because I love this topic.

895
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:45,880
Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District has a unique system where they have what they call a combined system.

896
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:53,880
So the old downtown Milwaukee proper area actually takes stormwater and wastewater.

897
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:57,880
So their deep tunnel system is there for wet weather events.

898
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,880
Basically, they are putting it into the deep tunnels to store it.

899
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:08,880
And then they pump it out of 300 foot deep big tunnels.

900
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,880
And then they treat it after that.

901
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:16,880
For us, we actually have in Madison, a little different problem.

902
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:22,880
It is not about dealing with the wet weather in the way of it getting to the plant.

903
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,880
We actually have to get it away.

904
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:34,880
And because we only have one pipe to get it away, we're unique as we have 100% of the flow pumped to us 100% pumped away.

905
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:41,880
For us with our pumps, if we turned all of our pumps on at 100%, we would actually explode the lines.

906
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,880
So if you come around the treatment plan, you'll see lagoons.

907
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,880
It's birding area. It's habitat.

908
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:54,880
That's actually a storage area for us to store treated wastewater or effluent.

909
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:59,880
We store it, wait till the flows go down, and then we pump that away.

910
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:04,880
Anybody else?

911
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:09,880
Thank you.

912
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:18,880
7.5 presentation regarding a funding request from Kent Paulson of Nungasur development.

913
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,880
To the home reach the forest affordable housing program.

914
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:23,880
Alex.

915
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:35,880
Yeah, I'll just do a brief overview here and then turn it over to Kent to talk about his request and his project and then open it up for any questions from prestige.

916
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:43,880
So we officially approved the home reach for us the portable housing program in April with an amendment at the last meeting.

917
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:49,880
As you mentioned, we're hoping to get the, there's, there's two separate funds of this program.

918
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:55,880
One is for larger scale development, the others for residents home improvement, down payment assistance, those types of things.

919
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:00,880
We're hoping to do the soft launch of the website for that second bucket.

920
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:09,880
This week with applications opening to the general public on the 20th after the next board meeting, but with the program being officially approved.

921
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:15,880
We've got two applications tonight for funding through the first part of the program, which is the development side.

922
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:20,880
So the first application is from Kent with Nungasur development.

923
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,880
This is a project that is being proposed on North Town Road.

924
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,880
They have already gone through their approvals process with the village.

925
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:32,880
It is a senior affordable housing building and can kind of tell you more.

926
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,880
The amount of funding that they're requesting is $112,500.

927
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:39,880
With that, I'll kick it over to Kent.

928
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:47,880
And we should have, yeah, we've got the PDF of the concept plan on line as well, if you want to orient around that.

929
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,880
Yeah, as Alex said, Kent Paulson with Nungasur development.

930
01:10:54,880 --> 01:11:04,880
Talk about the Alice Place de Forest project, which is 50 units of affordable housing for seniors, 55 and older.

931
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,880
There will be one and two bedroom units.

932
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:19,880
All of the units are income restricted and rent restricted at 30%, 50%, 60% and 80%.

933
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:27,880
The breakout of those are in the, I believe, first page there of that request.

934
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:36,880
The project has a tax credit award from Wisconsin housing.

935
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:46,880
And so we are very close to getting this thing all done and expect to be under construction at least by July.

936
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:50,880
Hoping, hoping we can actually be under construction come June.

937
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:55,880
We have previously applied to the federal home loan bank.

938
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:01,880
We applied for housing trust fund from the state of Wisconsin was denied on that.

939
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:06,880
We applied for Dane County funds denied on that one.

940
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,880
So we've solved it thus far.

941
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:15,880
The development team stepped up the tax credit investor.

942
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:22,880
In this case happens to be Wells Fargo bank stepped up with an increase pricing on the tax credit investment.

943
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:30,880
And the construction lender also Wells Fargo and the permanent lender Mount City bank.

944
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:36,880
Both banks also stepped up reduced fees interest rate that kind of stuff.

945
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:42,880
So we are very the summary their sources and uses.

946
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:47,880
We're basically there.

947
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,880
The request to the village here is 112,500.

948
01:12:53,880 --> 01:13:10,880
Without that we will be looking to go back to do some additional work on what we can take out of the GC contract to balance the budget to make it work.

949
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,880
As the development team were long term owners.

950
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:19,880
So in no way looking to take out the quality of anything.

951
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:25,880
It's important to us for the quality of what's built both for the benefit of the residents,

952
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,880
but the long term maintenance everything else that goes into it.

953
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:34,880
You start looking at windows, cabinetry, countertops, that kind of stuff.

954
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:40,880
I mean, it, you know, we can get there.

955
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:45,880
We're fully committed to building this project.

956
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,880
But we're asking the the village for some help to get it across the finish line.

957
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:54,880
The request is $2,250 per unit.

958
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:59,880
This would put 50 units of affordable housing in play.

959
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:07,880
With construction completed expected to be by September of 2027.

960
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,880
So September of next year.

961
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:20,880
We would have 50 units in place to be able to house seniors low income seniors within the village.

962
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:28,880
Happy to answer any questions or if I was unclear of any of that.

963
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:30,880
Anyone have questions?

964
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:31,880
Jan?

965
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:32,880
Okay.

966
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:39,880
So are these rental units or are these life lease units?

967
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:41,880
They are rental units.

968
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:46,880
I'm not sure what a life leased where they would own it.

969
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,880
They would own their, you know, they, they are all rental rental.

970
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,880
It's the way the federal tax credit program is set up.

971
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:55,880
Okay.

972
01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:00,880
So when it comes to the rents that you'll be charging,

973
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,880
what prevents you from increasing the rents?

974
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:09,880
Say five years down the road to something much higher.

975
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:14,880
The through the tax credits, closing and all of that.

976
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:20,880
There is a allura land use restriction agreement.

977
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:25,880
We have a total of 30% of area median income.

978
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:33,880
And the rents for that are affordable to somebody who makes 30% of the area median income.

979
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:49,880
So if, you know, just for example of area median income or $60,000, I mean, 30% of that obviously is $18,000.

980
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:57,880
So it's, it's a very low income and the rent cannot be more than 30% of that.

981
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:02,880
HUD does publish what the allowable rents are.

982
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,880
And they update that annually.

983
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:13,880
And there's the compliance process for these projects is verified annually.

984
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:22,880
So if the development team decided, well, you know, we're not making, we're not collecting enough rent to pay the bills.

985
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,880
And so we just decided to charge a thousand worthy allowable.

986
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:26,880
It's 500.

987
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,880
Then you're out of compliance.

988
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,880
Everything blows up it.

989
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:36,880
So developers don't do it because of the implications in the long term.

990
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,880
You know, impact on the property.

991
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:47,880
So everybody stays in compliance and the, uh, the compliance period is for a minimum of 30 years.

992
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:48,880
Okay.

993
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:50,880
Yeah.

994
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,880
And apologize if that was way more lengthy.

995
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:54,880
No, that was right.

996
01:16:54,880 --> 01:17:00,880
That's right. That was a great answer. I needed to know that.

997
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:05,880
So.

998
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,880
At the planning and zoning commission, I believe.

999
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:22,880
So I'm going by memory. We approved everything, but I thought there was also a bit of a discussion with the desired for improved aesthetics or maybe some additional landscaping.

1000
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:34,880
And the way I remember the committee is that we locked it up to the applicant to work with staff. And I'm wondering if any of those things have been applied.

1001
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,880
Yes, they have all been addressed have been working with Mark offers.

1002
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:47,880
And he's been reviewing through staff, but the landscape plan has been revised, enhanced.

1003
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:52,880
However, you want to think about it. The aesthetics.

1004
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:56,880
There's balconies on the front of the building.

1005
01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:01,880
The, there were some changes with the citing and brickwork.

1006
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:07,880
Those were those that come to mind right now. There's probably.

1007
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:16,880
Yeah, I know. So Mark has been working with the development team, mostly as far as I understand, mostly on the facade side and they've got a two point.

1008
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:22,880
This was probably a few weeks back where it was where I needed to be.

1009
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:27,880
Thanks for bringing that up. Remember that conversation.

1010
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:32,880
Alicia has her hand. Oh, I'm sorry. Alicia.

1011
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:38,880
That's okay. I just had a quick question on the units for veterans are those also.

1012
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:46,880
Only for 55 plus or is that open to just all veteran designation? How does that work?

1013
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:52,880
The veteran designations are also 55 plus.

1014
01:18:53,880 --> 01:19:01,880
We did not designate the am I limits? Sorry, am I as area median income?

1015
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:08,880
Because if you get a veteran that comes in and they're at say 50% of am I.

1016
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:21,880
We want to be able to provide a unit where if we pre designated them and all of a sudden you, you don't have one in the right income category, then that end up excluding somebody if they don't qualify otherwise.

1017
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:32,880
So they're not apologize. I don't remember if there's six or seven veteran units, but those, those are part of the project.

1018
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:40,880
Okay. Awesome. It says six. So thank you for explaining.

1019
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:46,880
I did have another question. So it's a 50 unit building and there are 32 garage spaces.

1020
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:50,880
How do you go about determining who gets those garage spaces?

1021
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:54,880
It would be on a first come first serve.

1022
01:19:54,880 --> 01:20:00,880
There is with the garages, there is a small monthly charge.

1023
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:07,880
And so since it's an affordable building, not everybody will will want one.

1024
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:16,880
So that's a the most, most of the buildings like this that get built don't have any garages.

1025
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:30,880
So this is actually a fairly significant amenity or, you know, the people here who can afford the additional part as part of that round.

1026
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:36,880
Okay, great amenity because we live in Wisconsin and those winners can be called.

1027
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:41,880
Thank you. Yes. Anybody else?

1028
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,880
Okay. Thank you, Mr. Paulson.

1029
01:20:45,880 --> 01:21:01,880
Seven point six presentation regarding a funding request from habitat for humanity of being county to the home reach to forest affordable housing program.

1030
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:07,880
Similarly, second application through that first development fund.

1031
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:14,880
Hillary Parker and her team are here from habitat to talk about their proposal is outlined in the memo.

1032
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:22,880
This is a request of $315,000 in grant funding with a proposed development of the home education center.

1033
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:28,880
I did note in the memo, but perhaps the applicant can speak to this as well in terms of status.

1034
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:34,880
That at the time of writing, the, to my knowledge, the property was not under contract.

1035
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,880
However, I know they've had some active discussions.

1036
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:45,880
So, and again, just to reiterate, these are more presentation, question and answer, and then we'll have a second discussion later in the agenda as well.

1037
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,880
So with that, I'll turn it over to our team.

1038
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:53,880
I have two ladies here who appear to be from habitat for humanity. Can you please identify yourselves?

1039
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:58,880
Hi, I'm Gabriela Gerhard on the vice president development for habitat for humanity of being county.

1040
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:00,880
And I'm Hillary Parker and the CEO.

1041
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:07,880
Thanks, Kelly. I also included there should have been a PowerPoint there to you. Perfect. Thank you.

1042
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:12,880
Thank you all so much for having us here tonight. We're really honored to be considered by the village of forest for this funding.

1043
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:22,880
As I mentioned, I'm Gabriela Gerhard, Hillary Parker, and we also have Brad Armstrong here, our new COO, who leads the construction team in case you have any additional questions, we can go to the next slide.

1044
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:27,880
Or we have to scroll, I think.

1045
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:32,880
All right, so habitat, our vision is a place where everyone has a decent place to live.

1046
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,880
That's a really want to world in that that looks like that.

1047
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,880
And so we bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

1048
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:44,880
And volunteering is a huge part of our mission. It's probably what we're most known for. And that's a huge part of what we do.

1049
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,880
We can move on.

1050
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:53,880
All the mic just a little closer, please. Absolutely. Thank you. Usually I'm not quite too quiet.

1051
01:22:53,880 --> 01:23:03,880
It's good to know. So habitat, Dane, we have been operating since 1987. So nearly 40 years of impact, we build affordable energy efficient homes for low to moderate income families.

1052
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,880
And we'll talk a little bit about more about that in a minute.

1053
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:12,880
And we're really about wealth building for these families. We want them to be to build equity. We want these homes to be sustainable.

1054
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:22,880
And we want those families to be sustainable in the community. They're building stability, both for the family and for the community is really at the heart of what we do.

1055
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:28,880
So we have multiple core programs. We're mostly going to talk about home building today. That's our original and most well known program.

1056
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,880
We built 365 homes and sold them throughout Dane County.

1057
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:36,880
Habitat Home Repair is a newer program. We've done 62 repairs since 2015.

1058
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:42,880
We also have a financial capability training that we offer for those that cannot be part of the Habitat program, but want to move towards home ownership.

1059
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:49,880
71 graduates in recent years. And then we also operate two restore thrift stores that help support our mission.

1060
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:55,880
And the resource run a furniture bank, which is kind of like a food bank for furniture.

1061
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:59,880
We serve all of Dane County. We've built in over 18 communities.

1062
01:23:59,880 --> 01:24:13,880
Deforest, this would be our first home in this in the village of Deforest with you joining the urban county consortium. We can now use Dane County CDBG funds in the village, which is why we're looking to move into the forest and very excited about it.

1063
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:21,880
So our home building program we build and sell homes department families that make 30 to 80% of Dane County area median income.

1064
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:25,880
Our average AMI is 41% as of last year.

1065
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,880
Homes are financed with a no to low interest mortgages.

1066
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:39,880
And importantly, the payments are capped at 30% of gross income, and that is inclusive of home insurance property taxes and HOA fees when we calculate the payment.

1067
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:50,880
And that payment is really important. We're only able to do that because we leverage down payment assistance and sometimes financial donations to habitat in order to make that that financial picture work.

1068
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:55,880
So load modern income families have a lot of challenges. Two primary ones. The first is availability.

1069
01:24:55,880 --> 01:25:03,880
The average selling price. When we put this together was 431,000, but actually there was new reporting that it's over $500,000 in Dane County now.

1070
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:11,880
And then there's just very few older homes available in that affordable range. So we increase availability by building the homes and then financing is also a huge barrier.

1071
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,880
So homeowners aren't always eligible for market rate loans from a bank.

1072
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:20,880
They have a high monthly payment that's unaffordable and sometimes the down payment the upfront costs can be a barrier.

1073
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:26,880
And we solve that problem by actually financing the mortgages ourselves.

1074
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,880
So what makes habitat distinct?

1075
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:38,880
We are a homeownership nonprofit. And as I mentioned, we want those homes to be wealth building and equity building for the working families that live in them.

1076
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:47,880
And by working families, I mean, healthcare workers, firefighters, post office, post men. Those are a couple of the recent ones that I've looked at their stories.

1077
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:52,880
It's people that are working in the community and working very hard and really want homeownership, but it's just out of reach.

1078
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:58,880
We both we serve both as a builder and a lender. And as I mentioned, that's to solve both of the problems that faced LMI families in the region.

1079
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:06,880
We kept those payments at less than 30% of the income, which I said, we have to leverage a lot of sources, many of which we can leverage as a nonprofit.

1080
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:14,880
So we can have that ability to do that for the families. And then we also have a really extensive homeowner education program, which is part of the sweat equity hours that the families put in.

1081
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:25,880
And that is leads to successful homeownership. They do a lot of education and they're ready when they when they get the keys to be successful long term. And that's what we see.

1082
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:32,880
There's a couple of examples of how housing styles that we built in the past. So you get a sense. We can happy to show you more pictures if you're ever interested.

1083
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:43,880
Recent homes that we've built have have been praised between 280 and 290. These are modest homes. These are not have all the high high end buzz and whistles. You might, some of you might call them a starter home, but they're beautiful homes.

1084
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:51,880
They are sized to the families actual needs. And so are much smaller than what you'd see from a market rate builder.

1085
01:26:51,880 --> 01:27:01,880
We've become land developers in recent years by necessity land is just becoming more scarce and undeveloped land is is the land that's available in a lot of cases. So a couple of examples of recent cases.

1086
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:11,880
Kai court is a is a cul-de-sac in downtown Oregon, which is on the left side there. We just wrapped that up last year, private road, private stormwater facility.

1087
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:22,880
Relatively small one, but we have a very big development called town hall crossing in Sun Prairie, 118 lots mixed income neighborhood. So about 40% in the end will be habitat units.

1088
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:33,880
And phase one is currently wrapping up. Phase two infrastructure is under contract and will be underway very soon. And then we have two more phases after that as well.

1089
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:42,880
And in case you're interested in seeing what one of our developments look like town hall crossing in Sun Prairie, we are having an open house on May 28. The public is welcome.

1090
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:58,880
We'd love a feed register and let us know you're coming, but you can also just show up on the day. Have some Kona ice here from Hillary here from a family, importantly, and then also get to tour up to three of our homes and also drive on the streets that we've built and all that infrastructure that we put together.

1091
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:10,880
So going into the forest project. So this is the Holum Center property, and this is the initial conceptual design. We haven't passed this point because we need to get farther along with the property acquisition before we do that.

1092
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:19,880
But you can see the initial design has twin homes and small rows of town homes in order to achieve 36 units. We anticipate that this could change.

1093
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:26,880
Maybe some single family homes would be on the table in the end, but this is kind of what our early conceptual design looked like that we thought could work for the property.

1094
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:29,880
And we can go to the next slide.

1095
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:39,880
So what would the impact to the community be new affordable homes again with that lower price point that you would see a market rate 36 families become first time home buyers in the forest.

1096
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:49,880
We really want there to be opportunities for the local workforce here to live where they work. And so we would do a lot of outreach within the within the village of the forest itself to make sure that people know about the program.

1097
01:28:50,880 --> 01:29:02,880
And we'd also love to work with the school district, given that this is a school district property to potentially have school district employees have additional consideration in the application process so that they could be more likely to get one of these homes.

1098
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:12,880
And then long term affordability, as I mentioned, is guaranteed by habitat and partner family support is is key in our opinion to making creating successful homeowners in the long run.

1099
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:18,880
So our total projected cost for the 36 units is 16.35 million.

1100
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:23,880
The request is for 315,000 from the deforest of part of the housing fund.

1101
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:31,880
Other sources of funding we hope to get specific funding for a site prep infrastructure and remediation of the site, including demolition.

1102
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,880
We'd look at the Wisconsin economic development.

1103
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:43,880
WEDC, other other locations, other organizations that we can apply to, maybe the federal home and bank to make that funding picture work.

1104
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:50,880
Dane County has given us money for land acquisition, which we would use to buy that property. That's the last quote that I had when I put this together.

1105
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:57,880
And we are currently in discussion about buying the property. I have an offer on the table, but nothing is nothing is signed at this point.

1106
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:05,880
We also leverage a lot of money from our restore revenue and then also monetary donations to the community. That's individuals, corporations and foundations.

1107
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:11,880
We have over, we have thousands of annual donors that contribute and make it possible. And then we also sell those mortgages.

1108
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:19,880
And as an opportunity, we have a banking partner like Ridge Bank that buys our mortgages and we continue to service them.

1109
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:25,880
But we also leverage down payment assistance to make that financial picture work, which is obviously a huge piece of the picture.

1110
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:27,880
Next.

1111
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:36,880
So we are in progress to land acquisition. We anticipate that the site work could begin as soon as spring 2027 with home building beginning the next year.

1112
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:45,880
Usually takes about a year for us to get underway with the infrastructure. And then families would start closing on homes fall winter of 2028.

1113
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:51,880
And then we would expect the project to be completed in 2035. We would kind of make build the homes on a rolling basis.

1114
01:30:51,880 --> 01:31:00,880
It wouldn't all happen once necessarily. But again, some of the planning has to unfold as this move forward. We can't say exactly, but this is what we anticipate.

1115
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:04,880
We're confident we could complete the project and its entirety by 2035 or earlier.

1116
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:13,880
And then just the last note about Habitat, we have a track record of nearly 40 years of affordable home building.

1117
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:25,880
We build owner occupied housing and that's a core part of our model. Again, 30 to 80% of AMI. That's our low to moderate income families mentioned we would be interested in developing a program with school employees.

1118
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:32,880
So that's uncertain at this point, but we are working on that or we will work on that. And then just the last point about this is really about the long term impact.

1119
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,880
We want people, a lot of our Habitat families, they stay in these homes.

1120
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:44,880
A lot of our homeowners, the original ones from 1987 are still living in their homes because they want that stability for themselves. They want that stability for their kids.

1121
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:54,880
They want their children to be able to focus on school and friends and not have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck about moving school districts every year, trying to stay ahead of rising rents.

1122
01:31:55,880 --> 01:32:08,880
We were just speaking, I was just speaking this morning with Tina, who was a homeowner that's been in her home for over 10 years and her daughter dreamed of being a lawyer since she was a little kid, but faced all the stresses of those rising rents and moving, living paycheck to paycheck.

1123
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:17,880
And they moved to their Habitat home and her daughter thrived in high school, graduated, went to law school, graduated and is now working as a lawyer in DC.

1124
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:28,880
And she's just like beams with pride and said, you know, my daughter had so much potential and Habitat made it possible for her. She made her like the ability for her to for the flower and blossom.

1125
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:38,880
And that's what a lot of our homeowners talk about. They want that stability. They want that place to live. And that's what we are excited to offer at the village of the forest in the near future. Thank you very much.

1126
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:43,880
Thank you. Looks like Brad has a question.

1127
01:32:44,880 --> 01:33:02,880
Yeah, I got two questions. How do you choose who gets to select one of these homes or get some move in there? And then why do you select them before they build and they have an input or why the eight year time span?

1128
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:05,880
Good question. Do you want to tackle sooner?

1129
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:10,880
Yeah, so the we have a whole community services department that runs our application process.

1130
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:15,880
It starts with an information session where people come and find out about it because the application is more than just, I want a home.

1131
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:22,880
It's actually a mortgage application because at the end of the day, they're buying the home. So the information doesn't make sure that they're interested that they qualify.

1132
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:30,880
And then if they want to move on to the application session, they submit a full application. Last year, we had over 80 applications, which was a record for us.

1133
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:40,880
We usually have about a little over 150 folks in the information sessions and then narrow it down. And then we, for this most recent cohort, we narrowed that down to a pool of 10.

1134
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:57,880
Some people for 10 homes. Yeah, we narrowed them to 10 families. Yeah. And so in terms of, you know, how we choose the families, we've done it different ways in different years, but we would, we definitely would be advertising these as village of the forest homes to families.

1135
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:06,880
And we want to get families and homes as fast as possible. So the development timeline all depends on the funding schedule and also the ability of us to be able to build the homes.

1136
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:14,880
We're looking at innovative, innovative things like modular housing, like working with other builders to help support us that could potentially speed up the timeline.

1137
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:21,880
But that those family outreach is important and the homes often are built after the families are selected.

1138
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:29,880
But sometimes it's happening a little bit in concert and happening at the same time, but those home sizes vary depending on the size of the family.

1139
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:38,880
So a family of three is going to have a much smaller home than a family of seven. And we do have that variability.

1140
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:45,880
Sorry, trustee chords. Were you asking about the criteria for the families?

1141
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:52,880
No, I think she answered what I was looking for. Thanks. Jim.

1142
01:34:52,880 --> 01:35:02,880
Well, I'll say I have a number of concerns with your layout because I think that site is rather challenging. So I think you'll work your way through that.

1143
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:08,880
It seems like there's enough money in there, but that may grow too. So that's a concern of mine.

1144
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:21,880
But before not really diving into that, because I'm sure you will as you work your way through this, the one question that I do have for you as you talked about a 30% cap and income.

1145
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:34,880
And then you also noticed there said that the property taxes are in that 30%. And that just brought questions up to me is like, how does that work?

1146
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:45,880
Because you guys are a nonprofit. So I'm assuming you own the land and it really you don't maybe see property taxes until it actually gets transferred to the individuals.

1147
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:50,880
Can I explain some of that? Sure. And it depends.

1148
01:35:50,880 --> 01:36:03,880
But to answer your broader question about how do we make this work? First of all, we do think the 36 lots might be the tightest configuration we could possibly get out of that land.

1149
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:13,880
But we've done the math and even at 26 lots, the math maths. So for us, it's exciting to try to build as densely as possible.

1150
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:27,880
In terms of how do we make it work with what we know are, you know, rising taxes and rising home insurance, you know, payments.

1151
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:39,880
It's the whole reason we're here. It's the whole reason that habitat exists, because you can't do this easily and make a profit. Otherwise, the for profit people would be doing it.

1152
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:59,880
It's an investment in the community. And there's no better way to do it than to invest in communities in those families to go ahead and be take the charge of their futures of their children's futures and invest in those families.

1153
01:36:59,880 --> 01:37:10,880
That way, you get people who live here, who work here, who care about here, who care about the forest.

1154
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:17,880
When does the tax transfer? Was that your other question?

1155
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:34,880
I'd say yes, because I guess from my point of view, I don't want it to be a tax burden on the individuals. That's not part of the program and I'm not really even just talking about the village of the forest, but also the school district and stuff like that too.

1156
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:48,880
Yeah, so I think we typically will get a waiver as a nonprofit for three years for property taxes, and then beyond that, we do pay property taxes on any undeveloped land that we're building, and then upon the sale of the home, the homeowner will take over the property taxes.

1157
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:57,880
And with the calculation of that 30%, how it works is the initial calculation kind of establishes what their mortgage payment is, and then that never changes.

1158
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:06,880
We don't ever revisit that, that mortgage payment stays the same. Obviously, we cannot control property taxes, home insurance, or even HOA fees if that does apply.

1159
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:21,880
But we, that first mortgage payment stays the same throughout the property, throughout the mortgage, and then for many of our homeowners, you know, the hope is that they build their wealth over time, that they increase their their income, and that money can go towards savings.

1160
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:26,880
And sometimes to cover those those increased costs that happen. Does that help answer the question?

1161
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:30,880
Yep, that does exactly. Thank you.

1162
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:39,880
Alicia Alicia.

1163
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:41,880
All right guys, I was on mute.

1164
01:38:42,880 --> 01:39:02,880
Good question. Just curious about the, if you could talk to more about like what the equity portion of the application is, or just provide a little bit more detail and then how you said it hasn't quite been worked out yet, but how you would prioritize

1165
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:12,880
employees who are in the district and also other like employees or people who are working here in divorce.

1166
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:14,880
Thank you. That's a great question.

1167
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:23,880
Sweat equity is one of the things that we use in the habitat world where we like to say this is a hand up, not a hand out.

1168
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:34,880
And the reason that that's important is that we partner with our partner families to create these homes and to support habitat in general as we're creating these homes.

1169
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:45,880
So depending on the size of the family, depending on the number of adults in the family, our families work between 250 and 450. Is that correct?

1170
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:49,880
Thank you. Copy. So good.

1171
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:54,880
425 hours throughout their time in the program.

1172
01:39:54,880 --> 01:40:04,880
And that's what equity can be used in many ways. Sometimes they're building on a home. Sometimes it's their home. Sometimes it's a different person's home.

1173
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,880
Sometimes they're volunteering in one of our restores.

1174
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:14,880
Sometimes they come and give a presentation to the village of the forest, although not this time. Sorry.

1175
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:26,880
Sometimes they write, you know, thank you notes to the folks who have taken their time to give to our program as a way of saying, you know, you touched my life.

1176
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:29,880
So all of those things add up to those hours.

1177
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:31,880
What am I forgetting?

1178
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:39,880
Oh, and the homeowner education program every every time that they spend doing homeowner education is part of their sweat equity.

1179
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:42,880
And then the second part of that question.

1180
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:59,880
Oh, the school district. So one of the fun things about attempting to purchase land is that you have to talk through your brokers. So I can't just talk to the school district directly and say this, but I can say this here.

1181
01:40:59,880 --> 01:41:02,880
And I have sent an email through the brokers.

1182
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:19,880
We would be very interested in anyone who qualifies for our program, getting like that extra point, we would call it so that people who are part of the school district do have a, you know, right of first refusal, if you will.

1183
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:25,880
And we cannot do that if all 36 of them, you know, come forward.

1184
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:40,880
And there's more than 36, we would have to have some sort of a system in my experience that doesn't happen. But what I'm hoping is that this gives the forest a chance to keep your workers close with gas being what it is.

1185
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:43,880
I know that I like living close to where I work.

1186
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:57,880
I think some of its education, making sure people know that they qualify for the program. I think a lot of working families, they might not realize that they qualify, especially have multiple children. The am I does go up high, but obviously the buying power of that salary is relatively low.

1187
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:08,880
So I want to make sure that people know if they qualify so that they have that as an option. And then it probably would just be a practically additional points on the scoring criteria because we do have to score applications to rank them.

1188
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:15,880
And again, that's, that's up for debate, but we would love to see some school teachers living in these homes.

1189
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:19,880
Jan.

1190
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:30,880
First of all, I want to say I'm very familiar with habitat for humanity. And you do a lot of great work. I've known some families that live in your homes.

1191
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:40,880
And I understand the success stories about having families in these homes and raising kids there and the stability and so forth.

1192
01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:48,880
But on the flip side of this, I'm looking at your proposal and I've got a lot of concerns. Okay.

1193
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:54,880
And I know this has come up in these village meetings before I see a lot of row houses.

1194
01:42:54,880 --> 01:43:03,880
And I have a big concern about that in your nice little presentation. I didn't see one row house shown. I've saw a couple duplexes, but no row houses.

1195
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:12,880
So I'm very curious. First of all, how is that going to work? Each individual family owns their little unit. No land.

1196
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:15,880
Are there actual lot? Okay.

1197
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:24,880
Let me just, and I appreciate those questions. That is perfect for a planning commission. And I would love to have that conversation down the line.

1198
01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:35,880
The only reason that we put this design together at this point and are able to present it is that it's our maximum density best wish idea.

1199
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:44,880
As you all know, there is a 42,000 square foot school on the land with some remediation, et cetera.

1200
01:43:44,880 --> 01:43:55,880
We have a lot that we just don't know. What I would love is that we can put up single family homes and make it all work, which is why I asked them.

1201
01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:05,880
I asked them to go ahead and make it as dense as they could to see, you know, what would work, how many we think we could offer.

1202
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:15,880
But the truth is we are not committed to row houses or townhouses. We're committed to families in houses. So we're very flexible on that.

1203
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:25,880
And we have a date that's good to hear because best wishes for the village. I don't think are row houses. I see a lot of problems with them.

1204
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:33,880
Not so much when they're brand new, but going down the road when they start needing work. How do you determine when that roof is going to be replaced?

1205
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:38,880
Are you going to have firewalls extending all the way up through the roofs? You will.

1206
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:43,880
So that they know where their roof line is and what they're responsible for.

1207
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:48,880
Will there be firewalls completely within these things? There's so many questions.

1208
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:56,880
You're absolutely right. There are so many great questions. The answer is we are not committed to this design.

1209
01:44:56,880 --> 01:45:03,880
And we have partners who are able to build these and have built these.

1210
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:17,880
But again, we would love to have the chance to put families and homes on this space. The design itself is very much preliminary.

1211
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:23,880
Okay. So thank you on that. We'll have more discussion on row houses.

1212
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:28,880
You can definitely tell I'm very against it. I'm an insurance agent for 38 years. It's tough.

1213
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:33,880
You know, even in condos, it's a problem. Yeah. And not so much when the buildings are new.

1214
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:41,880
But when there's some sort of natural disaster or these buildings start getting older and there's a problem, it can be a big problem.

1215
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:54,880
I would love to learn more about that from you. And what I can tell you is our goal is putting as many families and homes as possible in a way that is safe and conducive to a happy neighborhood,

1216
01:45:54,880 --> 01:46:01,880
which brings me to my next set of questions. And it's kind of going off what Brad was talking about.

1217
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:12,880
You specifically are not going to say that this is for deforest current deforest residents. Is this, is this, or can you do that?

1218
01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:18,880
Because, and the reason I'm asking this is because you're asking for deforest tax money.

1219
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:28,880
So I wouldn't want to see anyone else. And I think we have plenty of people to choose from and that could benefit from this that are current deforest residents.

1220
01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:45,880
But I think that I've seen before, because I'm familiar with humanity, your organization, that sometimes I'm seeing these families being transplanted from California to Sun Prairie or that sort of thing.

1221
01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:53,880
Okay. And that's what I would not want here, because we're giving away this tax money. And this is deforest tax payers money.

1222
01:46:53,880 --> 01:47:02,880
Absolutely. Yeah, the, so the, there is residency requirements for a period of time before you can apply to the program. They have to be saying county residents for 12 months.

1223
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:08,880
Yeah. I'm not saying being pony. I'm saying before. Yeah. If you can keep it to that.

1224
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:13,880
You know, I, we'd have to discuss it with our community servers about how to structure it in that way. I don't think we've ever.

1225
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:19,880
Not to my knowledge. We haven't done that before. It's not to say that we can't structure a program a different way. I will say though.

1226
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:27,880
I imagine that there's probably a lot of first responders teachers that work into forest that don't necessarily live in the forest. So I don't know if there's a way for us to.

1227
01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:38,880
Parse that, make sure that people that are working and want to live here. That would be, that would be fine for those. Right. They have people relocate from a different community like we'd like to move to the forest.

1228
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:50,880
I don't think that's right. So I would like to see some constraints on that. Assuming it does not violate fair housing laws. Let's talk. Right. Then that might be a problem, which might.

1229
01:47:50,880 --> 01:48:03,880
Bring up a lot more. Well, I was just going to say, I would just add that our, our down payment assistance programs and the other half of the bucket don't have a forest only restriction, the project that we just reviewed. I would say also it was open residence outside.

1230
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:09,880
So I just would offer that as well. But that's not as big a project.

1231
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:17,880
I'm, but thank you. Thank you.

1232
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:25,880
Good, folks. Thank you, ladies, for your presentation. Thank you very much.

1233
01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:29,880
Oh, I'm sorry, Jim.

1234
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:34,880
I just wanted to make a motion to take things out of order.

1235
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:38,880
9.3 up ahead of 8.1.

1236
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,880
They continue these discussions.

1237
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:46,880
I'm sorry, I didn't catch most of that. You want to move what? 9.3.

1238
01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:53,880
9.3, which is discussion about the possible award funding to have that discussion.

1239
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:58,880
Now, while the information is fresh in our head.

1240
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:00,880
We need a motion for that.

1241
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:04,880
I just made the motion.

1242
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:08,880
Oh, it's getting late.

1243
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:10,880
Alicia was that you.

1244
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:12,880
Yes.

1245
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:14,880
Thank second by Alicia.

1246
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:19,880
Okay, all those in favor of moving 9.3 out of order.

1247
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:21,880
Say aye.

1248
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:23,880
Aye.

1249
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:37,880
So we shall move to discussion and possible action to award funds through the home reached forest affordable housing development fund.

1250
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:44,880
I just give a little bit extra context. I think this was all really good conversation that we've had so far and good presentations.

1251
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:52,880
This is obviously a new program for us, a new process for us to so that I would just want to say off the bat. There's no right or wrong way to do this.

1252
01:49:53,880 --> 01:50:08,880
The two, the memo that was included in your packets tried to align as much as I could with the stated program goals in the home reach the forest program as well as some of our stated housing goals and housing strategy reports comprehensive plan.

1253
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:12,880
Some of those plans that we have in place as well.

1254
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:14,880
The.

1255
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:19,880
If you can scroll down to the chart there a little bit, whoever's got a mouse.

1256
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:32,880
A couple of different criterias against the housing program itself. Obviously, I think the biggest one that was a clear priority for owner occupied in the home reach program.

1257
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:39,880
But both of these projects, I would say really hit strongly on the goals that we've had for the community, both from a senior affordable housing owner.

1258
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:44,880
And then also potentially looking at some of our workforce as well.

1259
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:58,880
From an affordability perspective, I would say both of these have a skew more towards the heavier affordable level, which is obviously a need in the community to both of the development teams have a significant experience.

1260
01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:01,880
A couple of different.

1261
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:11,880
I guess deviations point out would be the Alice Place projects is clearly closer to moving forward from an approval standpoint, a construction standpoint.

1262
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,880
Whereas habitat is a little bit earlier.

1263
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:21,880
Certainly both of those, I think, fit the character of their various locations pretty well as well.

1264
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:28,880
And then habitat, obviously that's been a priority redevelopment site for the community for quite some time.

1265
01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:33,880
Whoever's got the mouse biggest scroll, the second page.

1266
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:40,880
A couple of different points that weren't included in the home reach program itself. Again, sort of timing of this.

1267
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:50,880
And the component of funding on each of these, I think for both projects, actually, the amount of funding that we'd be kicking in is smaller in proportional to the overall.

1268
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:52,880
Funding need.

1269
01:51:52,880 --> 01:52:01,880
And then the last paragraph here, just sort of comparing your point using taxpayer money, what's the tax implications of these developments.

1270
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:09,880
They're relatively, these are estimates relatively comparable in terms of annual property taxes, one obviously occurring a little bit faster than the other.

1271
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:15,880
And then finally, I try to lay out a few different options for structuring funding.

1272
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:19,880
Should you decide to make an award? And I want to say that it's at your discretion.

1273
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:28,880
So you certainly have the ability to wait for future projects as well, although I would say that these are probably aligned pretty well with the program.

1274
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:38,880
So I guess those were meant to be examples, not fixed dollar amounts in terms of you have to choose any one of those, but just to kind of get your wheels spinning a little bit.

1275
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:44,880
So with that, I'm happy to kind of just open it up for discussion.

1276
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,880
I do have one public appearance here.

1277
01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:55,880
Don Clemens wishes to speak on the home center also.

1278
01:52:55,880 --> 01:53:16,880
My name is Don Clemens, 309 Mohawk trail into forest.

1279
01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:24,880
I've been a resident here into forest for 48 years and I thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight.

1280
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:34,880
I'm here to express my concerns about allowing zero lot line homes in our community, particularly the ones being proposed at the whole street property.

1281
01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:38,880
Those kind of homes can also be called row homes.

1282
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:41,880
And that is a very small piece of land.

1283
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:47,880
Our village has been built around neighborhoods that offer reasonable spaces between homes.

1284
01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:58,880
That spacing is part of what makes our community feel open, welcoming and cohesive zero lot line developments would significantly change that character.

1285
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:07,880
Creating a more crowded environment that doesn't reflect what many residents myself included value about living here.

1286
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:24,880
I'm also concerned about the long term impact on property values and overall neighborhood appeal homes built extremely close together can make an area less attractive to future buyers, which may affect the stability and desirability of our neighborhoods over time.

1287
01:54:25,880 --> 01:54:36,880
In addition, there's real life quality, excuse me, real quality of life considerations when homes are placed directly on or very near property lines.

1288
01:54:36,880 --> 01:54:48,880
It reduces privacy, it increases noise concerns, it limits how residents can come, can, excuse me, comfortably use their outdoor spaces.

1289
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:52,880
These are everyday impacts that matter to people who live here.

1290
01:54:53,880 --> 01:55:04,880
There's also practical concerns to consider drainage, snow removal, long term maintenance between closely built homes and higher almost insurance costs.

1291
01:55:04,880 --> 01:55:10,880
These issues can create a challenge, not only for homeowners, but potentially for the village as well.

1292
01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:16,880
I understand and support the need for thoughtful growth in additional housing.

1293
01:55:17,880 --> 01:55:24,880
However, I believe the growth should be balanced with preserving the character and livability of our community as it stands now.

1294
01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:36,880
Once zoning changes like this are approved, they set a precedent that can gradually reshape our village in ways that may be difficult or impossible to reverse.

1295
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:51,880
For these reasons, I respectfully ask the board to reconsider or limit the use of zero lot line zoning and instead prioritize development that maintains appropriate spacing and protects the integrity of our neighborhoods.

1296
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,880
Thank you for your time. I think I just ran out of time.

1297
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:59,880
Good. Thank you very much. And I appreciate all of you working so hard on all of this.

1298
01:55:59,880 --> 01:56:01,880
Thank you, John.

1299
01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:06,880
And we'll go back to discussion.

1300
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:14,880
If I could just add one more piece on some of the design. Sorry, I'm sorry, because I think that I've heard it in a couple of instances.

1301
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:18,880
Obviously, the site plan and Jim, you alluded to it too is very preliminary.

1302
01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:25,880
So I can't speak for what the applicant is ultimately going to plan to put on the site if they were to move forward with the project.

1303
01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:35,880
But I know that they've had their engineering team has had preliminary discussions with our planner mark about this and some of that commentary has passed on to them in terms of.

1304
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:37,880
Free network and how that fits.

1305
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:43,880
Row houses, townhomes, you know, that, that I think is a.

1306
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:49,880
Fourth coming consideration, but in terms of that neighborhood itself.

1307
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:53,880
I don't know if anybody can build or whoever's got a mouse can pull up GIS.

1308
01:56:53,880 --> 01:57:03,880
Maybe that is our traditional like RM six neighborhood, which is smaller lot sizes. So it's, I mean, you look at the everything that's adjacent to there.

1309
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:08,880
And they are 50 foot with, which I think is probably the smallest in the village.

1310
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:13,880
So take that for what it's worth all the design pieces out.

1311
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:16,880
Yes. Do you have to rezone for the row houses?

1312
01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:20,880
So this would have to be no matter what gets developed here, this property.

1313
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:25,880
Because currently it's institutional because it was school.

1314
01:57:25,880 --> 01:57:34,880
I go back to your comment, though, that you just made saying that these are designed smaller lots or homes, not row houses.

1315
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:45,880
Is this program annually funded?

1316
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:53,880
So this program, this is the first year we've had it. This program was funded through an extension of tax increment increment district number three.

1317
01:57:53,880 --> 01:58:00,880
And that was sort of a one time capitalization of it across the board for both the development side and the other program that we're having.

1318
01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:12,880
If the board, if we had the opportunity to do this, either through a future tip extension, that would be at your discretion to refund it, but it's not something where we're appropriating funds from property taxes annually.

1319
01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:14,880
It was a one time deal.

1320
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:23,880
Certainly, I will say that, you know, it probably behooves us also to look at different grant uses that are out there to just continue to bring funds into this.

1321
01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:25,880
If there continues to be demand.

1322
01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:33,880
Any other discussion?

1323
01:58:35,880 --> 01:58:36,880
Can we make a motion?

1324
01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:40,880
So it's possible.

1325
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:53,880
So before we do that, I just want to describe what what potential next steps would be. If there was a decision to award funds to either these projects or both these projects, however, that looks.

1326
01:58:53,880 --> 01:59:01,880
The next step would be working through putting in place, which we're familiar with for other projects, a development agreement with the development team.

1327
01:59:01,880 --> 01:59:05,880
And then that would come back for an approval at the hopefully in the next meeting.

1328
01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:16,880
Yes, I would make a motion to fully fund Alice Place.

1329
01:59:16,880 --> 01:59:29,880
The $112,500 and defer funding for habitat for humanity until more is known about the project and it moves further along.

1330
01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:37,880
I'll second if we continue this question.

1331
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:48,880
Motion by Jan seconded by Jim to fully fund Alice Place and defer funding on habitat for community project until more information is available.

1332
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:50,880
Correct.

1333
01:59:51,880 --> 01:59:53,880
I personally really liked.

1334
01:59:54,880 --> 02:00:03,880
Second option because I am definitely more in favor of owner individually owned homes.

1335
02:00:04,880 --> 02:00:09,880
So that's a direction I would rather go in split funding for both.

1336
02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:18,880
Knowing that we still have a process to go through to finalize what this site might look like.

1337
02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:24,880
I'm sorry, I don't have what I want.

1338
02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:27,880
What did you say? It was the second.

1339
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:30,880
Yeah, number two here.

1340
02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:38,880
Yeah, so I did this one.

1341
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:49,880
Alicia, go ahead.

1342
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:57,880
I also too am going to echo sentiments with Brad knowing that we'll have further presentations more favorable to funding both.

1343
02:01:03,880 --> 02:01:04,880
I guess we need to go ahead.

1344
02:01:06,880 --> 02:01:14,880
I just want to state that when I was reviewing this looking at the different proposals last night.

1345
02:01:14,880 --> 02:01:23,880
I actually came into this meeting thinking I wanted to fund more fully the habitat and not fun to Alice, please.

1346
02:01:23,880 --> 02:01:35,880
But after the discussions, I was pleased to find out that you did add some aesthetics and worked with the staff to try to dress up that lot.

1347
02:01:36,880 --> 02:01:42,880
I am still worried a bit about the aesthetics of it, but also know that it's adjacent to industrial.

1348
02:01:43,880 --> 02:01:50,880
So I think it can be appropriate and hope that the landscaping and stuff will help that lot.

1349
02:01:51,880 --> 02:02:01,880
So because of what you did, I feel like I do want to fund at least a portion of what they're asking for for the Alice place.

1350
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:06,880
The habitat, I am very in favor of that program.

1351
02:02:07,880 --> 02:02:14,880
So I love to fund that fully too, but obviously we got to figure out a balance.

1352
02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:21,880
Again, I am very concerned about some of the challenges, the engineering challenges that you're going to run into.

1353
02:02:22,880 --> 02:02:30,880
So I would personally, I'm personally okay with waiting on that because I want to make sure that those are things that you can overcome.

1354
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:41,880
Because I saw a blank line for the remediation, I'm concerned of what you might find with that and just the grading and the storm water and things like that.

1355
02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:51,880
I think there's going to be, hopefully it would be something that you get through rather quickly and we can have you come back here with better numbers.

1356
02:02:51,880 --> 02:02:54,880
That's sort of the feeling I'm feeling tonight.

1357
02:02:55,880 --> 02:03:04,880
Okay, we have a motion and a second to fully fund Alice and defer funding for habitat for humanity.

1358
02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:06,880
Are you proposing something different?

1359
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:14,880
I am okay with sticking with that. But again, there's continued discussion if somebody wants to offer something different.

1360
02:03:14,880 --> 02:03:23,880
I just have a question. So looking at.

1361
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:27,880
Option three, which was Jan's motion.

1362
02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:32,880
Which is deferring funding.

1363
02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:34,880
Let me see.

1364
02:03:34,880 --> 02:03:40,880
No, I mean, yeah, deferring, deferring funding for habitat with the potential for them to reapply on the projects further along.

1365
02:03:40,880 --> 02:03:50,880
So what does that look like? How long do they have? And are there restrictions or just what would that look like for the possibility of them reapplying if we don't give them funding tonight?

1366
02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:59,880
I would say there's not any restrictions built into the program in terms of when they could reapply so they could technically reply as soon as the next meeting.

1367
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:12,880
But I would think that having heard some of the comments, they may want to dig a little bit deeper into the details of their projects before doing that just based on the feedback that we've heard tonight.

1368
02:04:12,880 --> 02:04:19,880
Unless you have a different recommendation on that or if your motion said something different.

1369
02:04:19,880 --> 02:04:26,880
So that's a long way to say there's no technical timeframe in which they could come back.

1370
02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:31,880
Yeah.

1371
02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:36,880
I guess.

1372
02:04:36,880 --> 02:04:48,880
Alex or bill or whoever can answer this. Can you tell us the potential future opportunities for extending? Is there any coming up in the near future to.

1373
02:04:48,880 --> 02:04:57,880
I'll lean on bill for that, but I would say it's probably at least four years out would be my guess.

1374
02:04:57,880 --> 02:05:03,880
So, yeah, so a couple of things to consider in regards to.

1375
02:05:03,880 --> 02:05:07,880
Potentially, when a tax economic district is closing.

1376
02:05:07,880 --> 02:05:14,880
We anticipate that approximately 2029 2030 would be the next available time.

1377
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:22,880
Or when a tax economic district closes, we do have a rather large project in queue, which is the public service facility.

1378
02:05:22,880 --> 02:05:31,880
Eventually that we could balance that. So it's going to depend on how much how much increment is remaining or the annual increment.

1379
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:45,880
And whether or not, you know, the board at that time, you know, what their priority is on, on some of this revenue sources were affordable housing.

1380
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:55,880
Okay. So going back to first of all, habitat for humanity, please know that I was one of the trustees that said, yes, we'd like you to come to our community.

1381
02:05:55,880 --> 02:06:04,880
I just can't go for this row housing. And this row housing actually came up on a different project than before you were here with somebody else.

1382
02:06:04,880 --> 02:06:21,880
And I think when I'm proposing this about not giving any money to them this tonight, it's not that I'm against having that project, some sort of project from them here, because I find your organization to be valuable.

1383
02:06:21,880 --> 02:06:30,880
But I just don't think we're at a point, knowing, not knowing where the project is and how we're going to handle the applicants.

1384
02:06:30,880 --> 02:06:37,880
And who are they actually going to be? Are we going to be relocating people that really have nothing to do with the forest at this point?

1385
02:06:37,880 --> 02:06:45,880
Or are we going to somehow be able to condense that? And you heard the answers right here. They weren't able to answer that because they haven't done it before.

1386
02:06:45,880 --> 02:06:48,880
That was the answer. They haven't done it before.

1387
02:06:48,880 --> 02:06:58,880
Can I say something? Sure. Yeah, I think the answer also had to do with making sure we're not being discriminatory against the Fair Housing Act.

1388
02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:08,880
And so I think that that will come along, but that they're more open to going along with funding, knowing that very well.

1389
02:07:08,880 --> 02:07:20,880
There would be more consideration given to people who work here, which is in line with us bringing more workforce housing into the forest.

1390
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:35,880
So I just have a question on, as the motion stands, if we wanted to fund both of them, do we have to make another motion?

1391
02:07:35,880 --> 02:07:38,880
The motion is to defer funding.

1392
02:07:38,880 --> 02:07:43,880
Then the second.

1393
02:07:43,880 --> 02:07:49,880
Was that a full scale motion? I didn't think so. I'm sorry.

1394
02:07:49,880 --> 02:07:54,880
Yeah, correct.

1395
02:07:54,880 --> 02:07:57,880
I'm sorry. What was your question, Alicia?

1396
02:07:57,880 --> 02:08:01,880
More question about the motion. So.

1397
02:08:02,880 --> 02:08:05,880
So I think we need to vote on the motion we have on the floor.

1398
02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:20,880
Okay. And if we vote, can we make a motion to fund both of them? Like there, or if we knock this motion down, if it doesn't pass, then that means the first one doesn't go. I'm kind of confused on that.

1399
02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:26,880
I need to consult higher up here. I'm going to say this much.

1400
02:08:26,880 --> 02:08:31,880
I realize that Habitat for Humanity has a big project in front of them here.

1401
02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:35,880
And I know we also need senior housing.

1402
02:08:35,880 --> 02:08:44,880
But everything about what Habitat for Humanity is proposing is exactly what we've been talking about for, I don't know how many years to now workforce housing.

1403
02:08:44,880 --> 02:08:51,880
People who work in our own village, and I understand you may not be able to limit to that, but at least you're going to give it a try.

1404
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:57,880
So I guess I would be in favor of.

1405
02:08:57,880 --> 02:09:02,880
Number two.

1406
02:09:02,880 --> 02:09:08,880
75,000 for Alice Place and 225 to habitat.

1407
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:13,880
That's my two cents on the whole issue. Now we need to vote on the motion.

1408
02:09:13,880 --> 02:09:28,880
I mean, to answer Alicia's question, if you wanted to do both funding for both, you would have to vote against this motion. And then if it failed, then we would have to remake a different motion.

1409
02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:30,880
That's correct.

1410
02:09:30,880 --> 02:09:32,880
Okay.

1411
02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:33,880
Thank you.

1412
02:09:34,880 --> 02:09:37,880
I'm in the motion.

1413
02:09:37,880 --> 02:09:46,880
Well, a member of the motion would be inconsistent with what the motion to begin with, because the motion included funding for one and no funding for the other.

1414
02:09:46,880 --> 02:09:55,880
So an amendment would be a different motion.

1415
02:09:55,880 --> 02:10:00,880
I was just about to say that.

1416
02:10:01,880 --> 02:10:14,880
All right, the motion on the floor, which has been first and seconded is to fully fund the Alice Place project and defer any funding to habitat for humanity. All those in favor say, I.

1417
02:10:14,880 --> 02:10:16,880
I.

1418
02:10:16,880 --> 02:10:18,880
Are those opposed? No.

1419
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:19,880
No.

1420
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:20,880
No.

1421
02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:23,880
Motion fails.

1422
02:10:24,880 --> 02:10:31,880
Yeah, one to five.

1423
02:10:31,880 --> 02:10:36,880
Now we need another motion.

1424
02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:43,880
I'll make a motion.

1425
02:10:44,880 --> 02:10:45,880
To.

1426
02:10:45,880 --> 02:10:49,880
Award funds through the home reach to forest to.

1427
02:10:49,880 --> 02:10:51,880
Gosh, sorry guys.

1428
02:10:51,880 --> 02:10:56,880
The affordable housing development fund.

1429
02:10:56,880 --> 02:11:01,880
For, I guess, both options and also for Alice Place.

1430
02:11:01,880 --> 02:11:05,880
And habitat for humanity.

1431
02:11:06,880 --> 02:11:08,880
I'll second that.

1432
02:11:08,880 --> 02:11:16,880
I guess I just stating the clarification that funding both is the 75 and the 225.

1433
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:18,880
That was the option to.

1434
02:11:18,880 --> 02:11:19,880
Is that correct?

1435
02:11:19,880 --> 02:11:25,880
Are you referring to the number two that was in the packet 75,000 allocated to Alice Place.

1436
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:29,880
And 225,000 allocated to habitat.

1437
02:11:30,880 --> 02:11:35,880
Or number one is a fully funding Alice Place and partial for habitat.

1438
02:11:35,880 --> 02:11:42,880
So that place would get a hundred and twelve five and habitat would get a hundred and eighty seven five.

1439
02:11:42,880 --> 02:11:46,880
On fully funding both projects.

1440
02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:48,880
We can't do that.

1441
02:11:48,880 --> 02:11:51,880
We can't do that as much as I wish.

1442
02:11:52,880 --> 02:11:55,880
We've got 315,000 total.

1443
02:11:55,880 --> 02:11:58,880
So in the packet, I just.

1444
02:11:58,880 --> 02:12:03,880
Did the limited math that I'm capable of doing and try to split those out.

1445
02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:06,880
Certainly those are not the dollar amounts that need to be.

1446
02:12:06,880 --> 02:12:09,880
Made in the motion, but those are just examples.

1447
02:12:09,880 --> 02:12:10,880
Okay.

1448
02:12:10,880 --> 02:12:14,880
So then it'd have to be option the 75 and.

1449
02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:19,880
75,000 for Alice Place and 225 for habitat.

1450
02:12:19,880 --> 02:12:20,880
Right.

1451
02:12:20,880 --> 02:12:23,880
Prioritizing funding for owner occupied development.

1452
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:24,880
Okay.

1453
02:12:24,880 --> 02:12:26,880
That was what I was seconding.

1454
02:12:26,880 --> 02:12:28,880
So I'll give my second.

1455
02:12:28,880 --> 02:12:29,880
Yeah.

1456
02:12:29,880 --> 02:12:30,880
Okay.

1457
02:12:30,880 --> 02:12:32,880
So we have a motion and a second.

1458
02:12:32,880 --> 02:12:38,880
We're 75,000 to Alice Place and 225,000 to habitat.

1459
02:12:38,880 --> 02:12:41,880
Discussion, Jim.

1460
02:12:42,880 --> 02:12:47,880
My continued concern is the challenges that are habitat is going to run into.

1461
02:12:47,880 --> 02:12:52,880
And what happens with that and how long it's held up if we want to have a.

1462
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:56,880
And date or a revisiting date or something.

1463
02:12:56,880 --> 02:12:57,880
Yeah.

1464
02:12:57,880 --> 02:13:01,880
So that's what I was just asking our legal wizard about.

1465
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:04,880
So obviously pending an award here.

1466
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:10,880
We would come back with a development agreement that would have some of the normal contingencies we're used to seeing.

1467
02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:17,880
But certainly if there's any specific additional contingency that you'd like to include for us to consider on that.

1468
02:13:17,880 --> 02:13:23,880
And that would be the time to voice that I suppose.

1469
02:13:23,880 --> 02:13:26,880
Anybody have anything.

1470
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:34,880
Something that we could talk about the number of single family lots and things or have that part of the discussion.

1471
02:13:34,880 --> 02:13:37,880
The next developer.

1472
02:13:37,880 --> 02:13:38,880
Al wants to speak.

1473
02:13:38,880 --> 02:13:46,880
I was going to say implicit in these motions is that the funding is going to be made available only if the projects are approved and go forth.

1474
02:13:46,880 --> 02:13:47,880
So.

1475
02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:48,880
I just.

1476
02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:50,880
That's kind of automatic.

1477
02:13:50,880 --> 02:13:55,880
I think if there are any other conditions you want to put on it, now will be the time to address that.

1478
02:13:55,880 --> 02:13:57,880
And to your point, Jim.

1479
02:13:57,880 --> 02:14:01,880
So in the case of Alice Place, they've already moved through most.

1480
02:14:01,880 --> 02:14:03,880
All of their approvals.

1481
02:14:04,880 --> 02:14:14,880
But in the case of habitats redevelopment, obviously there's a lot more discretionary approvals, one of which would be the initial zoning approvals that they would have to go through.

1482
02:14:14,880 --> 02:14:18,880
And the site details have a long way to go to.

1483
02:14:18,880 --> 02:14:22,880
Well, as you sit on P and Z to kind of flesh out to as well.

1484
02:14:23,880 --> 02:14:30,880
Can I ask you, you said how it's implicit that this gets approved, but.

1485
02:14:30,880 --> 02:14:33,880
What is the timeline on that?

1486
02:14:33,880 --> 02:14:40,880
These, I guess I'm more familiar with say like subdivisions where there's different say six months and things like that.

1487
02:14:40,880 --> 02:14:41,880
It's.

1488
02:14:41,880 --> 02:14:47,880
They're just going to hang out there till we get to the developers agreement or is there an end date if we don't have her.

1489
02:14:48,880 --> 02:14:49,880
Developers agreement.

1490
02:14:49,880 --> 02:14:51,880
Well, that's up to you.

1491
02:14:51,880 --> 02:14:56,880
I mean, right now it's no money gets paid out unless the development goes forward.

1492
02:14:56,880 --> 02:14:59,880
If you want to put a deadline on what that has to be.

1493
02:14:59,880 --> 02:15:07,880
And I don't think that's a bad idea because you want to use this money for some project and you don't want to tie it up forever.

1494
02:15:07,880 --> 02:15:09,880
For a project that may never happen.

1495
02:15:09,880 --> 02:15:15,880
So it would make sense to put some kind of a timeline on when the development has to.

1496
02:15:15,880 --> 02:15:20,880
Be approved and start construction or get a building permit or something like that.

1497
02:15:20,880 --> 02:15:26,880
Yeah, I guess my thought is somewhere like around six months.

1498
02:15:26,880 --> 02:15:29,880
I don't know what that would look like.

1499
02:15:30,880 --> 02:15:35,880
I suppose a site plan right six months is that something I can't wish for.

1500
02:15:35,880 --> 02:15:39,880
I think six month time period to get to.

1501
02:15:39,880 --> 02:15:46,880
It's because this would likely be a plan unit development to get to a final development plan would probably be a little bit quick.

1502
02:15:46,880 --> 02:15:57,880
I don't know if we are able to whoever's got the mouse to pull up the anticipated timeline from the presentation.

1503
02:15:57,880 --> 02:16:14,880
I would also say there could be potential other.

1504
02:16:14,880 --> 02:16:19,880
Like progress contingencies. So, for example.

1505
02:16:20,880 --> 02:16:27,880
If they were unable to get the property under contract and move forward with development in six months.

1506
02:16:27,880 --> 02:16:32,880
But we set a timing of getting a site plan at a year.

1507
02:16:32,880 --> 02:16:37,880
Now, do we tie up those funds for a year even if that project is moving forward.

1508
02:16:37,880 --> 02:16:41,880
So there may be sort of a very contingency to look at.

1509
02:16:42,880 --> 02:16:50,880
I like what you just said at six months, we want to know whether or not.

1510
02:16:50,880 --> 02:16:52,880
The site is under contract.

1511
02:16:52,880 --> 02:16:53,880
It is under contract.

1512
02:16:53,880 --> 02:16:56,880
I mean, that certainly could be one.

1513
02:16:56,880 --> 02:17:05,880
And then within a year, they have to start construction.

1514
02:17:06,880 --> 02:17:10,880
Either yeah, either site work. Yeah, that could certainly be.

1515
02:17:10,880 --> 02:17:15,880
I would say within six months, having the site under contract.

1516
02:17:15,880 --> 02:17:19,880
And within a year to have a approved PDP.

1517
02:17:22,880 --> 02:17:24,880
PUD is that what you said.

1518
02:17:24,880 --> 02:17:30,880
Yeah, site plan PDP, whatever it would end up.

1519
02:17:31,880 --> 02:17:34,880
Yeah, I would just say.

1520
02:17:34,880 --> 02:17:38,880
I guess I don't know 100% that they're going that this would go to a planned unit development,

1521
02:17:38,880 --> 02:17:42,880
certainly if they're able to make it fit into so a final site plan.

1522
02:17:42,880 --> 02:17:47,880
That would hit both of those.

1523
02:17:47,880 --> 02:17:51,880
I forget who did I make the motion.

1524
02:17:51,880 --> 02:17:55,880
No, I struggled to make the motion.

1525
02:17:56,880 --> 02:17:58,880
Alicia is at a friendly amendment.

1526
02:17:58,880 --> 02:17:59,880
Yes.

1527
02:18:01,880 --> 02:18:03,880
Who made the motion, please, Kelly.

1528
02:18:03,880 --> 02:18:04,880
I did.

1529
02:18:04,880 --> 02:18:06,880
Alicia made the motion and Jim seconded the motion.

1530
02:18:06,880 --> 02:18:07,880
Oops.

1531
02:18:07,880 --> 02:18:13,880
I asked for a friendly amendment and six months to have it under contract.

1532
02:18:13,880 --> 02:18:16,880
And then here to have a approved site plan.

1533
02:18:19,880 --> 02:18:21,880
And that's okay with Alicia.

1534
02:18:21,880 --> 02:18:22,880
Yes.

1535
02:18:22,880 --> 02:18:23,880
Yes.

1536
02:18:24,880 --> 02:18:25,880
Okay. So.

1537
02:18:28,880 --> 02:18:29,880
What we are voting on.

1538
02:18:29,880 --> 02:18:33,880
Or the motion is, I should say.

1539
02:18:37,880 --> 02:18:40,880
Do you want me to repeat what I have here?

1540
02:18:40,880 --> 02:18:41,880
Yes.

1541
02:18:41,880 --> 02:18:42,880
One, don't shoot.

1542
02:18:42,880 --> 02:18:43,880
All right. I would love to.

1543
02:18:43,880 --> 02:18:50,880
So I have a motion by Alicia seconded by Jim to award 75,000 to Alice plays.

1544
02:18:51,880 --> 02:19:02,880
And 225,000 to have a tap for humanity on the condition that the site is under contract within six months and the final site plan approved in one year.

1545
02:19:02,880 --> 02:19:03,880
Perfect.

1546
02:19:03,880 --> 02:19:04,880
Thank you, Kelly.

1547
02:19:04,880 --> 02:19:08,880
Those two conditions are on the habitat.

1548
02:19:08,880 --> 02:19:10,880
Alice, please.

1549
02:19:10,880 --> 02:19:13,880
Well, they could be on both.

1550
02:19:13,880 --> 02:19:14,880
They'll just meet.

1551
02:19:14,880 --> 02:19:15,880
There's a lot faster.

1552
02:19:16,880 --> 02:19:19,880
Just one other thing.

1553
02:19:19,880 --> 02:19:28,880
I think the motion should probably be conditioned on the execution of a development agreement because that is going to be a necessary step in this process.

1554
02:19:28,880 --> 02:19:33,880
Except that as a friendly.

1555
02:19:33,880 --> 02:19:34,880
So.

1556
02:19:34,880 --> 02:19:36,880
We should accept.

1557
02:19:36,880 --> 02:19:37,880
It was really.

1558
02:19:37,880 --> 02:19:40,880
Kelly's got it.

1559
02:19:41,880 --> 02:19:49,880
And that is for both properties, correct?

1560
02:19:49,880 --> 02:19:50,880
Okay.

1561
02:19:50,880 --> 02:19:52,880
Okay.

1562
02:19:52,880 --> 02:19:55,880
All those in favor of the motion.

1563
02:19:55,880 --> 02:19:58,880
As read by Kelly.

1564
02:19:58,880 --> 02:20:01,880
I.

1565
02:20:01,880 --> 02:20:05,880
All those opposed. No.

1566
02:20:06,880 --> 02:20:08,880
Motion carries.

1567
02:20:08,880 --> 02:20:15,880
Five to one.

1568
02:20:15,880 --> 02:20:16,880
Okay.

1569
02:20:16,880 --> 02:20:17,880
Next up.

1570
02:20:17,880 --> 02:20:20,880
Good luck with your projects.

1571
02:20:20,880 --> 02:20:27,880
Oh, I'm sorry.

1572
02:20:27,880 --> 02:20:31,880
Discussion regarding an appointment process policy to fill vacancies on the village board.

1573
02:20:32,880 --> 02:20:34,880
Bill Chang.

1574
02:20:34,880 --> 02:20:37,880
Before I get started, it looks like everyone needs a break.

1575
02:20:37,880 --> 02:20:38,880
You know what?

1576
02:20:38,880 --> 02:20:40,880
That's an excellent idea.

1577
02:20:40,880 --> 02:20:42,880
It's 755.

1578
02:20:42,880 --> 02:20:45,880
Let's break until.

1579
02:20:45,880 --> 02:21:00,880

regarding the process for filling the vacancy in the office.

1903
02:31:44,880 --> 02:31:46,880
A village board trustee.

1904
02:31:46,880 --> 02:31:47,880
Bill.

1905
02:31:47,880 --> 02:31:54,880
All right.

1906
02:31:54,880 --> 02:31:57,880
So upon direction from the board at the last meeting,

1907
02:31:57,880 --> 02:32:02,880
we put together a timeline here schedule.

1908
02:32:02,880 --> 02:32:08,880
To consider applications for the vacant trustee opposition.

1909
02:32:08,880 --> 02:32:13,880
A period to review those applications.

1910
02:32:13,880 --> 02:32:17,880
And then potentially.

1911
02:32:18,880 --> 02:32:23,880
I'm collecting up to five candidates to move to the interview.

1912
02:32:23,880 --> 02:32:25,880
If we get more than five.

1913
02:32:25,880 --> 02:32:30,880
And so we've put out a template of that on in the within the memo.

1914
02:32:30,880 --> 02:32:34,880
Couple questions or direction that I need.

1915
02:32:34,880 --> 02:32:38,880
Kelly and I need to go ahead and put this out there.

1916
02:32:38,880 --> 02:32:46,880
As I believe we talked at the we discussed at the last meeting that we were going to add questions to the application itself.

1917
02:32:47,880 --> 02:32:55,880
So we have included in the memo attached to the memo, a list of post questions for you.

1918
02:32:55,880 --> 02:33:03,880
This is a combination of questions that were revised from the last round.

1919
02:33:03,880 --> 02:33:11,880
And then also questions that I received from trustees and from residents as part of this process.

1920
02:33:12,880 --> 02:33:24,880
And so again, if we could kind of, you know, I would suggest three to five of what your, your favorite questions are and we can add that to the application.

1921
02:33:24,880 --> 02:33:38,880
And then we can talk about the next step.

1922
02:33:38,880 --> 02:33:40,880
No, we do not.

1923
02:33:40,880 --> 02:33:43,880
Sorry, we do not have any public appearances on this.

1924
02:33:43,880 --> 02:33:45,880
We still do not.

1925
02:33:45,880 --> 02:33:48,880
Thank you, ma'am.

1926
02:33:48,880 --> 02:33:53,880
Discussion.

1927
02:33:53,880 --> 02:33:55,880
Anybody got anything?

1928
02:33:55,880 --> 02:34:00,880
I guess I'm indifferent to the questions.

1929
02:34:00,880 --> 02:34:02,880
I would leave that up to anybody that cares.

1930
02:34:02,880 --> 02:34:07,880
The only question I want to critique is the second bullet point.

1931
02:34:07,880 --> 02:34:10,880
It says, why do you believe you're the best candidate?

1932
02:34:10,880 --> 02:34:12,880
I think that's just opening it up.

1933
02:34:12,880 --> 02:34:17,880
People that compare to other trust current trustees or other candidates.

1934
02:34:17,880 --> 02:34:20,880
So I would just ask that that be changed.

1935
02:34:20,880 --> 02:34:25,880
Why you're a good candidate or something similar.

1936
02:34:25,880 --> 02:34:28,880
I was actually going to suggest we don't ask that at all.

1937
02:34:28,880 --> 02:34:31,880
I like the first, the third.

1938
02:34:32,880 --> 02:34:39,880
The residential or future divorce and balance economic growth.

1939
02:34:39,880 --> 02:34:44,880
And then the last one of prioritizing concerns in the community.

1940
02:34:44,880 --> 02:34:50,880
That would be five. I would choose.

1941
02:34:50,880 --> 02:34:54,880
I hate that question. Why do you think you're the best candidate?

1942
02:34:54,880 --> 02:34:59,880
Melanie, that was going to be my comment. I also don't like that question.

1943
02:34:59,880 --> 02:35:13,880
If I can just add, well, I'm talking.

1944
02:35:13,880 --> 02:35:18,880
I liked questions three, four and five and seven and eight.

1945
02:35:18,880 --> 02:35:21,880
The first two and the third to the last.

1946
02:35:21,880 --> 02:35:26,880
About how you view municipal financing and standards of service.

1947
02:35:27,880 --> 02:35:33,880
Didn't speak to me as strongly.

1948
02:35:33,880 --> 02:35:38,880
Anyone else?

1949
02:35:38,880 --> 02:35:44,880
The other suggestion I was going to do is.

1950
02:35:44,880 --> 02:35:46,880
I think you said you had.

1951
02:35:46,880 --> 02:35:50,880
If we're going to get it down to five, I'm fine with that.

1952
02:35:50,880 --> 02:35:55,880
I'm just wondering if we don't ask five questions then when they're in person for that interview, it'd be less than an hour long.

1953
02:35:56,880 --> 02:35:57,880
We have five candidates.

1954
02:35:57,880 --> 02:36:01,880
I think if we're going to narrow it down, give the candidates a chance to.

1955
02:36:01,880 --> 02:36:07,880
To talk a little bit so we can understand where they're coming from and their point of view on things.

1956
02:36:11,880 --> 02:36:13,880
Yeah, so.

1957
02:36:13,880 --> 02:36:17,880
Following these questions, we would have, I would take a different.

1958
02:36:17,880 --> 02:36:20,880
A new set of questions for the interviews.

1959
02:36:21,880 --> 02:36:23,880
And so it would depend on how long.

1960
02:36:23,880 --> 02:36:31,880
With an introduction, you'd want each to provide how much time you want to provide for each candidate to answer the question.

1961
02:36:35,880 --> 02:36:38,880
You know, anywhere between a minute, 30 to.

1962
02:36:38,880 --> 02:36:42,880
Two minutes, two minutes, 30 minutes, three minutes long.

1963
02:36:45,880 --> 02:36:48,880
But it depends on how extensive your questions are.

1964
02:36:51,880 --> 02:36:59,880
So, for example, for five candidates, a short introduction.

1965
02:36:59,880 --> 02:37:01,880
And five questions.

1966
02:37:01,880 --> 02:37:05,880
Straight through, that's, that's an hour long already.

1967
02:37:05,880 --> 02:37:11,880
So you consider, you know, a break between each candidates when you're rotating them in and out.

1968
02:37:12,880 --> 02:37:19,880
You're probably at hour and 30 minutes, our 45 minutes at that point.

1969
02:37:19,880 --> 02:37:23,880
And then for the remainder of that meeting also.

1970
02:37:23,880 --> 02:37:27,880
Time and consideration for, for grading.

1971
02:37:27,880 --> 02:37:33,880
And then also discussion, potentially an appointment.

1972
02:37:34,880 --> 02:37:41,880
Oh, we're talking about a two hour meeting with five questions, five candidates and introduction.

1973
02:37:44,880 --> 02:37:46,880
If it all runs smoothly.

1974
02:37:50,880 --> 02:37:58,880
I had answered your earlier email about when you put questions out, but it looks like they were different than what was in the packet.

1975
02:37:59,880 --> 02:38:03,880
And I know I like what you see is your primary role as a trustee.

1976
02:38:03,880 --> 02:38:13,880
What's your vision for the future and how would you balance girls in need residential needs and describe your priorities for the board.

1977
02:38:13,880 --> 02:38:20,880
And specific qualifications to effectively address them, I believe is what I like.

1978
02:38:20,880 --> 02:38:25,880
However, that fits in with what everybody else is saying here.

1979
02:38:25,880 --> 02:38:36,880
So I should have numbered these to make it easier for you.

1980
02:38:36,880 --> 02:38:39,880
So right now what I'm hearing.

1981
02:38:39,880 --> 02:38:46,880
Say one, three, five, seven and eight seem to be the top ones.

1982
02:38:46,880 --> 02:38:50,880
Yes.

1983
02:38:50,880 --> 02:39:00,880
Okay.

1984
02:39:00,880 --> 02:39:05,880
Could you repeat that one? Yeah, one, the first one.

1985
02:39:05,880 --> 02:39:15,880
So please describe priorities, which you believe the village board should address in your specific qualifications to effectively contribute for resolving those problems.

1986
02:39:15,880 --> 02:39:25,880
Three, when the village board faces complex issues, such as questions on public health or new developments, how do you approach decision making as a trustee.

1987
02:39:25,880 --> 02:39:33,880
Five, what is your vision for the future of the forest and how would you balance economic growth of residential needs.

1988
02:39:33,880 --> 02:39:39,880
Seven, how would you consider input from the forest residents and businesses.

1989
02:39:40,880 --> 02:39:49,880
And finally, how do you prioritize addressing concerns within the community.

1990
02:39:49,880 --> 02:39:55,880
My only comment with that is the last two year red seem to be pretty similar.

1991
02:39:55,880 --> 02:39:58,880
I was going to say.

1992
02:39:58,880 --> 02:40:04,880
I was going to say three, seven and eight seem fairly similar to one another.

1993
02:40:05,880 --> 02:40:10,880
I don't know if those could be combined into a single or concise question.

1994
02:40:10,880 --> 02:40:11,880
Okay.

1995
02:40:11,880 --> 02:40:20,880
I would say three, I think is getting us something a little different with like how they approach decision making, but seven and eight certainly I think could be combined to one question.

1996
02:40:20,880 --> 02:40:26,880
I agree with Melanie and agrees with Melanie.

1997
02:40:27,880 --> 02:40:34,880
I would suggest just doing those four then, because if I remember right, the application process already had several questions and it was quite long.

1998
02:40:34,880 --> 02:40:35,880
Yeah.

1999
02:40:35,880 --> 02:40:44,880
So adding a few more, I think, or more and be plenty.

2000
02:40:44,880 --> 02:40:47,880
Alicia, do you have something?

2001
02:40:47,880 --> 02:40:52,880
I mean, so is campaigning. So I'm just kidding.

2002
02:40:52,880 --> 02:40:55,880
I'm fine. I think you, I think.

2003
02:40:55,880 --> 02:40:59,880
Do you guys are on the right track with combining the last two and.

2004
02:40:59,880 --> 02:41:02,880
So.

2005
02:41:02,880 --> 02:41:06,880
Thanks. I hadn't looked right for a while, so I couldn't see if you had a hand up or not.

2006
02:41:06,880 --> 02:41:07,880
No forget about it.

2007
02:41:07,880 --> 02:41:09,880
Thank you.

2008
02:41:09,880 --> 02:41:10,880
Yeah.

2009
02:41:10,880 --> 02:41:14,880
I just wonder if we want to ask for like a limitation of a page or two.

2010
02:41:14,880 --> 02:41:19,880
I don't necessarily want to read a page on every question.

2011
02:41:19,880 --> 02:41:20,880
Yeah.

2012
02:41:22,880 --> 02:41:24,880
We'll create a form for that.

2013
02:41:24,880 --> 02:41:28,880
Limit the number of words in the text box.

2014
02:41:28,880 --> 02:41:33,880
I'll see what my limitations are on the application, the online.

2015
02:41:33,880 --> 02:41:41,880
We'll be to do the same online application process that we used for the last time.

2016
02:41:41,880 --> 02:41:46,880
Did you get what you need?

2017
02:41:46,880 --> 02:41:50,880
Yes, for this portion.

2018
02:41:51,880 --> 02:42:00,880
Second kind of confirmation here. So.

2019
02:42:00,880 --> 02:42:05,880
So what we would do is we would open the application process sometime tomorrow.

2020
02:42:05,880 --> 02:42:12,880
Likely at the end of the day, we have about a month for the application period to be open and closes June 5th.

2021
02:42:13,880 --> 02:42:23,880
Which gives us enough time to put together a packet for you to review and get that information out to you early enough for you to review.

2022
02:42:23,880 --> 02:42:27,880
You'll then review it at the June 16th meeting.

2023
02:42:27,880 --> 02:42:32,880
And I all have a rubric for you to kind of score your top five candidates.

2024
02:42:32,880 --> 02:42:35,880
What I'm proposing here is that we're not scoring each question.

2025
02:42:35,880 --> 02:42:44,880
Then it says, hey, one through five. What is your top five candidates in all particular order.

2026
02:42:44,880 --> 02:42:50,880
And then we would set that interview for June 30th.

2027
02:42:50,880 --> 02:42:56,880
That's a special meeting. So we have an extra week in June.

2028
02:42:56,880 --> 02:43:03,880
And again, we're thinking about five questions for the interview process.

2029
02:43:03,880 --> 02:43:09,880
And five candidates, we can expect that meeting to be in our 30 minutes to about two hours.

2030
02:43:09,880 --> 02:43:15,880
So if you could confirm that June 30th day works for you as a special meeting.

2031
02:43:15,880 --> 02:43:21,880
I'd appreciate it. You don't have to answer me now, but this should be an email.

2032
02:43:21,880 --> 02:43:32,880
And then, you know, that to be, it's to be all that we need.

2033
02:43:32,880 --> 02:43:38,880
That work. It works. You need a motion. I don't need a motion. We'll just go ahead and put it out there.

2034
02:43:38,880 --> 02:43:39,880
Yeah.

2035
02:43:39,880 --> 02:43:44,880
I'll ask a question. Please feel free to say absolutely not.

2036
02:43:44,880 --> 02:43:49,880
I'm just wondering if we close the application period.

2037
02:43:49,880 --> 02:43:56,880
Say like I was guessing like me 27th or 28th, does that allow you enough time to get.

2038
02:43:57,880 --> 02:44:03,880
Pack it together for June second. So in fact, moving it up two weeks.

2039
02:44:15,880 --> 02:44:19,880
It's really anybody could say no, because then we're doing that actual meeting.

2040
02:44:19,880 --> 02:44:21,880
So that might be too much for a meeting.

2041
02:44:22,880 --> 02:44:27,880
Yeah. I mean, you can, we can, we can adjust the dates as you wish.

2042
02:44:27,880 --> 02:44:32,880
Kind of also thinking about the back of the calendar, right? So.

2043
02:44:32,880 --> 02:44:39,880
With June having an extra weekend there, it allows for you to have spacing between your meetings.

2044
02:44:39,880 --> 02:44:43,880
We pull that back two weeks.

2045
02:44:43,880 --> 02:44:48,880
And we're running into other meetings and space availability.

2046
02:44:49,880 --> 02:44:54,880
So that's, I think that's, that's why we settled on that June 30th date.

2047
02:44:54,880 --> 02:44:57,880
Of course you can have a long period between.

2048
02:44:57,880 --> 02:45:02,880
Application review and the interviews itself, but then you start to lose.

2049
02:45:02,880 --> 02:45:06,880
Entrance from candidates. If you have too much space between them.

2050
02:45:06,880 --> 02:45:08,880
The mindset changes.

2051
02:45:08,880 --> 02:45:11,880
Good.

2052
02:45:11,880 --> 02:45:13,880
Good as is. Thank you.

2053
02:45:13,880 --> 02:45:15,880
I can't hear you.

2054
02:45:15,880 --> 02:45:19,880
I'm good as it was proposed. Okay. All right. We're good.

2055
02:45:19,880 --> 02:45:28,880
Bill's got what he needs to moving on to new business discussion regarding an appointment process policy to fill vacancies on the village board bill.

2056
02:45:28,880 --> 02:45:32,880
So yeah, I believe this comment came up at the last meeting.

2057
02:45:32,880 --> 02:45:35,880
Also a recommendation of.

2058
02:45:35,880 --> 02:45:38,880
Yeah, that we.

2059
02:45:38,880 --> 02:45:44,880
Go ahead and establish an appointment process policy, whether by resolution or.

2060
02:45:44,880 --> 02:45:46,880
Otherwise.

2061
02:45:46,880 --> 02:45:50,880
So that we don't have to run into.

2062
02:45:50,880 --> 02:45:57,880
These timing issues as the vacancies come up.

2063
02:45:57,880 --> 02:46:03,880
So a couple questions here. First and foremost, let's start with the easy one and the most recent one.

2064
02:46:04,880 --> 02:46:15,880
Those are the process that we've set out currently on the appointment of the trustee seat whereby application.

2065
02:46:15,880 --> 02:46:20,880
Application review and then interviews.

2066
02:46:20,880 --> 02:46:24,880
Does that suffice for this group moving forward?

2067
02:46:24,880 --> 02:46:30,880
If it does, we'll replicate those process into a policy document and then we would bring that word.

2068
02:46:31,880 --> 02:46:34,880
We have no appearances on this correct, Kelly.

2069
02:46:34,880 --> 02:46:36,880
No appearances. Okay.

2070
02:46:36,880 --> 02:46:40,880
Yeah, it works for me, Jim.

2071
02:46:40,880 --> 02:46:46,880
I'd say it works for me. The only caution I'd have is if the timeline gets too short.

2072
02:46:46,880 --> 02:46:49,880
Say, like, if it's, I don't know, say November.

2073
02:46:49,880 --> 02:46:52,880
I don't know if we want to go through the whole.

2074
02:46:52,880 --> 02:46:57,880
So if it's only going to be for a couple of months.

2075
02:46:58,880 --> 02:47:10,880
Yeah, I mean, I think any policy would be if the board decides to make an appointment, this is the policy that would apply.

2076
02:47:10,880 --> 02:47:14,880
So it would all be up to the board whether to leave the position vacant.

2077
02:47:14,880 --> 02:47:16,880
Makes sense. Thank you.

2078
02:47:16,880 --> 02:47:17,880
Anyone else?

2079
02:47:17,880 --> 02:47:18,880
That's good.

2080
02:47:18,880 --> 02:47:19,880
Can's good.

2081
02:47:19,880 --> 02:47:21,880
Alicia's good.

2082
02:47:21,880 --> 02:47:22,880
Melanie's good.

2083
02:47:22,880 --> 02:47:23,880
Okay.

2084
02:47:24,880 --> 02:47:33,880
And then the second part of this conversation as long as we're writing a policy on appointment through the village presidency is also.

2085
02:47:33,880 --> 02:47:35,880
An elected position.

2086
02:47:35,880 --> 02:47:39,880
So just want to confirm again that.

2087
02:47:40,880 --> 02:47:45,880
If it is decided to appoint those trustee that that position.

2088
02:47:45,880 --> 02:47:52,880
As we've done with with the last couple of vacancies as appointed from the village trustee.

2089
02:47:52,880 --> 02:47:57,880
And that is set by.

2090
02:47:57,880 --> 02:48:03,880
First consideration of a permanent appointment or temporary.

2091
02:48:03,880 --> 02:48:08,880
Or do we write into the policy that it's permanent for the term.

2092
02:48:08,880 --> 02:48:14,880
And then by nomination or is there a different process for which you want to to.

2093
02:48:14,880 --> 02:48:21,880
Work through that process.

2094
02:48:21,880 --> 02:48:23,880
Anybody got any input.

2095
02:48:23,880 --> 02:48:26,880
Jim.

2096
02:48:26,880 --> 02:48:30,880
So I don't quite know exactly what you're asking.

2097
02:48:30,880 --> 02:48:35,880
I know you when I reading the packet, there is talk of like a vice president.

2098
02:48:35,880 --> 02:48:43,880
I would think it just be the more or less the interim until another president was appointed.

2099
02:48:43,880 --> 02:48:46,880
Yeah, and that could be a consideration.

2100
02:48:46,880 --> 02:48:51,880
However, I reckon if I'm wrong, but if we're going to have her.

2101
02:48:51,880 --> 02:48:54,880
Have a policy on appointing.

2102
02:48:54,880 --> 02:48:57,880
A vice or.

2103
02:48:58,880 --> 02:49:01,880
As interim top permanent can be appointed.

2104
02:49:01,880 --> 02:49:03,880
Does that have to be an ordinance.

2105
02:49:03,880 --> 02:49:08,880
You know, that would actually have to be a charter ordinance to create the position of.

2106
02:49:08,880 --> 02:49:11,880
Vice president. If you go there.

2107
02:49:11,880 --> 02:49:15,880
And then what what the.

2108
02:49:15,880 --> 02:49:24,880
But the perks of that office are with whether they automatically become the president in terms of vacancy or whether they service interim.

2109
02:49:24,880 --> 02:49:27,880
That would all be up to you in deciding at the time.

2110
02:49:27,880 --> 02:49:30,880
As part of the charter ordinance.

2111
02:49:30,880 --> 02:49:35,880
For the policy portion, it's simply.

2112
02:49:35,880 --> 02:49:38,880
At the village board chooses to appoint.

2113
02:49:38,880 --> 02:49:40,880
What does that appointment process look like.

2114
02:49:40,880 --> 02:49:42,880
Pretty much like it just did.

2115
02:49:42,880 --> 02:49:45,880
So by nomination.

2116
02:49:45,880 --> 02:49:47,880
I was going to suggest.

2117
02:49:48,880 --> 02:49:55,880
Permanent unless it's in within 30 days of an election, which would do a temporary appointment.

2118
02:49:55,880 --> 02:49:59,880
Until a permanent one can be decided after the.

2119
02:49:59,880 --> 02:50:02,880
Election within 30 days.

2120
02:50:02,880 --> 02:50:05,880
And then I am not in favor of.

2121
02:50:05,880 --> 02:50:09,880
Creating a new position of vice president.

2122
02:50:09,880 --> 02:50:13,880
You're saying if the.

2123
02:50:14,880 --> 02:50:20,880
If the if the president's term that they can term would continue beyond the next election for another year.

2124
02:50:20,880 --> 02:50:24,880
Then if it's within 30 days of the election, you would want to.

2125
02:50:24,880 --> 02:50:26,880
Terminated at the election.

2126
02:50:26,880 --> 02:50:29,880
No, I think for the entire term.

2127
02:50:29,880 --> 02:50:34,880
It'd be permanent unless there's an election within 30 days where the board would flip over.

2128
02:50:34,880 --> 02:50:40,880
The problem with that is 30 days is that enough time for anybody to get on the ballot for.

2129
02:50:40,880 --> 02:50:41,880
The president position.

2130
02:50:41,880 --> 02:50:44,880
You'd have to know that it'd be pointed from.

2131
02:50:44,880 --> 02:50:48,880
A current trustee as a temporary position.

2132
02:50:48,880 --> 02:50:50,880
Just.

2133
02:50:50,880 --> 02:50:52,880
More or less what.

2134
02:50:52,880 --> 02:50:53,880
Okay.

2135
02:50:53,880 --> 02:50:54,880
Okay, so.

2136
02:50:54,880 --> 02:50:57,880
What almost happened here.

2137
02:50:57,880 --> 02:51:05,880
What do we need.

2138
02:51:06,880 --> 02:51:09,880
Yeah.

2139
02:51:09,880 --> 02:51:11,880
Well.

2140
02:51:11,880 --> 02:51:17,880
I don't guess I care really either way, but I just remember like I'm planning and zoning.

2141
02:51:17,880 --> 02:51:24,880
I think we had like a, I don't know if we called advice chair or just somebody that we didn't have to go through the process of.

2142
02:51:24,880 --> 02:51:27,880
Bill coming up and say it was.

2143
02:51:28,880 --> 02:51:29,880
Chairing.

2144
02:51:29,880 --> 02:51:30,880
Is that.

2145
02:51:30,880 --> 02:51:32,880
You had a charter or a dance or.

2146
02:51:32,880 --> 02:51:36,880
It's a facilitator or something.

2147
02:51:36,880 --> 02:51:39,880
I mean, you can certainly delegate somebody.

2148
02:51:39,880 --> 02:51:45,880
To chair to chair a meeting when the, when the president is absent.

2149
02:51:45,880 --> 02:51:50,880
But if you're going to create a position where the person fulfills the president's duty is beyond that.

2150
02:51:50,880 --> 02:51:53,880
I think you need to go to go to a charter ordinance for that.

2151
02:51:54,880 --> 02:51:59,880
Well, I mean, the idea that bill calls meeting the order is by your ordinance.

2152
02:51:59,880 --> 02:52:02,880
Just an ordinance created that rule without it.

2153
02:52:02,880 --> 02:52:04,880
You had no rule.

2154
02:52:04,880 --> 02:52:11,880
So you could certainly change that to somebody else by or by just changing that ordinance.

2155
02:52:11,880 --> 02:52:16,880
Okay, I guess my opinion that be the furthest.

2156
02:52:16,880 --> 02:52:18,880
I'd really want to go. It's just.

2157
02:52:18,880 --> 02:52:21,880
So we wouldn't have to go through that process of.

2158
02:52:21,880 --> 02:52:24,880
Colleen was absent, but.

2159
02:52:24,880 --> 02:52:26,880
It does, I guess, leave us open.

2160
02:52:26,880 --> 02:52:30,880
If God forbid something happens, a colony and we might.

2161
02:52:30,880 --> 02:52:34,880
Be without somebody for a couple of weeks.

2162
02:52:34,880 --> 02:52:37,880
You all can take turns.

2163
02:52:37,880 --> 02:52:44,880
I'm assuming we're okay with that. I mean, we sort of went through that.

2164
02:52:44,880 --> 02:52:48,880
This period where we had bill signing for the president.

2165
02:52:48,880 --> 02:52:53,880
Yeah, I think, I think upon a vacancy, we just have to remember to.

2166
02:52:53,880 --> 02:52:54,880
I'll authorize that.

2167
02:52:54,880 --> 02:52:58,880
Well, we'll have to go to those preliminary steps absent.

2168
02:52:58,880 --> 02:53:00,880
A charter ordinance amendment.

2169
02:53:04,880 --> 02:53:07,880
You just want to point out a charter ordinance is not a big deal.

2170
02:53:07,880 --> 02:53:10,880
It's like doing a regular ordinance, except that.

2171
02:53:10,880 --> 02:53:14,880
It requires a two thirds vote and it can't take effect until 60 days.

2172
02:53:14,880 --> 02:53:17,880
And it's potentially subject to referendum with people in the community.

2173
02:53:17,880 --> 02:53:19,880
I think it's a really bad idea.

2174
02:53:19,880 --> 02:53:23,880
But other than that, it's just enacted like a regular ordinance.

2175
02:53:27,880 --> 02:53:28,880
We done with this.

2176
02:53:30,880 --> 02:53:33,880
So I just want to confirm. Oh, no.

2177
02:53:34,880 --> 02:53:39,880
In regards to the appointment of the village president.

2178
02:53:39,880 --> 02:53:41,880
They can see.

2179
02:53:41,880 --> 02:53:46,880
At this group is in favor of pointing a.

2180
02:53:46,880 --> 02:53:51,880
If this group is in favor of the pointing a permanent member.

2181
02:53:51,880 --> 02:53:53,880
That it be from.

2182
02:53:53,880 --> 02:53:55,880
The board of trustees.

2183
02:53:55,880 --> 02:53:57,880
By nomination.

2184
02:53:57,880 --> 02:54:01,880
Unless it's within 30 days of the end of term.

2185
02:54:02,880 --> 02:54:03,880
Let's see.

2186
02:54:03,880 --> 02:54:04,880
Tom Fade.

2187
02:54:04,880 --> 02:54:06,880
Is that correct?

2188
02:54:06,880 --> 02:54:08,880
Just one one gap in that.

2189
02:54:08,880 --> 02:54:11,880
And that is if it's not permanent, how long is it?

2190
02:54:17,880 --> 02:54:19,880
So I was a little bit different.

2191
02:54:19,880 --> 02:54:21,880
Thought is.

2192
02:54:21,880 --> 02:54:25,880
Let's say the scenario we just had were 30 days out from a trustee election.

2193
02:54:25,880 --> 02:54:29,880
We would wait until that trustee election if it's within 30 days.

2194
02:54:29,880 --> 02:54:33,880
Because the board would then flip and we would have new members to vote.

2195
02:54:33,880 --> 02:54:36,880
So it would be a temporary appointment until that election.

2196
02:54:36,880 --> 02:54:40,880
Where then it would be appointed as a permanent for the rest of the term.

2197
02:54:40,880 --> 02:54:46,880
Okay, so it would be an interim appointment that would run until the board makes.

2198
02:54:46,880 --> 02:54:48,880
A permanent appointment.

2199
02:54:48,880 --> 02:54:49,880
Correct.

2200
02:54:50,880 --> 02:54:59,880
That might be more complicated. You want to go and that's fine.

2201
02:54:59,880 --> 02:55:01,880
I'm just thinking so. Okay.

2202
02:55:01,880 --> 02:55:04,880
So there's an appointment process for the.

2203
02:55:04,880 --> 02:55:06,880
The temporary.

2204
02:55:06,880 --> 02:55:11,880
Until there could be a permanent appointment for.

2205
02:55:11,880 --> 02:55:17,880
Unless it's within 30 days of an election.

2206
02:55:18,880 --> 02:55:23,880
That permanent appointment should be stayed until after that election.

2207
02:55:25,880 --> 02:55:27,880
Where a new board may be seated.

2208
02:55:27,880 --> 02:55:28,880
Correct.

2209
02:55:28,880 --> 02:55:29,880
Right.

2210
02:55:31,880 --> 02:55:34,880
My job is to find problems on.

2211
02:55:34,880 --> 02:55:36,880
I can be.

2212
02:55:36,880 --> 02:55:37,880
Please do.

2213
02:55:37,880 --> 02:55:40,880
The village president makes appointments to committees and things like that.

2214
02:55:40,880 --> 02:55:42,880
They have them right after the election.

2215
02:55:42,880 --> 02:55:44,880
What do you guys want to do in terms of.

2216
02:55:45,880 --> 02:55:50,880
That scenario where you're waiting to apply to permanent president, but you have an interim president.

2217
02:55:50,880 --> 02:55:54,880
When everybody's term is expiring on committees, the things like that.

2218
02:56:02,880 --> 02:56:04,880
I guess I would add if you're.

2219
02:56:04,880 --> 02:56:07,880
If you're appointing an interim, I don't necessarily.

2220
02:56:07,880 --> 02:56:10,880
The

2221
02:56:10,880 --> 02:56:14,880
issue because the interim would then work on getting those appointments because it's.

2222
02:56:14,880 --> 02:56:16,880
Ultimately the board that.

2223
02:56:16,880 --> 02:56:18,880
That approves those.

2224
02:56:18,880 --> 02:56:20,880
Appointments.

2225
02:56:20,880 --> 02:56:23,880
Correct. So it really shouldn't matter who.

2226
02:56:23,880 --> 02:56:27,880
Make the lines that certainly a viable option.

2227
02:56:27,880 --> 02:56:28,880
Yeah.

2228
02:56:28,880 --> 02:56:30,880
I just need to know if that's what you guys want.

2229
02:56:30,880 --> 02:56:33,880
Do you want the interim president making appointments.

2230
02:56:33,880 --> 02:56:36,880
Or the village administrator.

2231
02:56:37,880 --> 02:56:41,880
What's the likelihood that's ever going to happen again.

2232
02:56:41,880 --> 02:56:44,880
I think we did okay.

2233
02:56:44,880 --> 02:56:45,880
We should.

2234
02:56:45,880 --> 02:56:47,880
Yeah.

2235
02:56:47,880 --> 02:56:55,880
I am certainly willing to call out to appointees and confirm.

2236
02:56:55,880 --> 02:57:02,880
Whether they would like to serve or not, but I think the board should be.

2237
02:57:03,880 --> 02:57:09,880
Okay.

2238
02:57:09,880 --> 02:57:11,880
Okay. So I think I have what I need.

2239
02:57:11,880 --> 02:57:13,880
We'll put together a policy.

2240
02:57:13,880 --> 02:57:19,880
And get it out for review at the next meeting and make changes from there.

2241
02:57:19,880 --> 02:57:20,880
I think you'll be.

2242
02:57:20,880 --> 02:57:24,880
More efficient to do it that way rather than try to solve every.

2243
02:57:24,880 --> 02:57:27,880
We issue this evening.

2244
02:57:27,880 --> 02:57:28,880
Thank you.

2245
02:57:29,880 --> 02:57:32,880
9.2 resolution 2026.

2246
02:57:32,880 --> 02:57:34,880
052.

2247

Chief Olson.

2252
02:57:49,880 --> 02:57:53,880
There's a memo in your pockets if you have questions I'm happy to answer.

2253
02:57:53,880 --> 02:57:55,880
Public appearances.

2254
02:57:55,880 --> 02:57:56,880
None.

2255
02:57:57,880 --> 02:57:59,880
Discussion and possible action.

2256
02:57:59,880 --> 02:58:00,880
Anyone.

2257
02:58:00,880 --> 02:58:03,880
Jan motion to approve.

2258
02:58:03,880 --> 02:58:05,880
Second.

2259
02:58:05,880 --> 02:58:08,880
Motion by Jan second by bread.

2260
02:58:08,880 --> 02:58:09,880
Any discussion?

2261
02:58:09,880 --> 02:58:12,880
All those in favor say aye.

2262
02:58:12,880 --> 02:58:13,880
Aye.

2263
02:58:13,880 --> 02:58:14,880
All those opposed?

2264
02:58:14,880 --> 02:58:15,880
No.

2265
02:58:15,880 --> 02:58:17,880
Motion carries unanimously.

2266
02:58:17,880 --> 02:58:19,880
Thank you.

2267
02:58:19,880 --> 02:58:21,880
All those opposed?

2268
02:58:21,880 --> 02:58:24,880
I'm going to go ahead.

2269
02:58:24,880 --> 02:58:28,880
It's time to roll.

2270
02:58:28,880 --> 02:58:33,880
9.4 ordinance 2026 dash 005 and ordinance to resolve approximately 0.33.

2271
02:58:33,880 --> 02:58:38,880
Acres currently addressed at 612 Park Avenue to the R M 3

2272
02:58:38,880 --> 02:58:41,880
residential mix to family district in the village of divorce.

2273
02:58:41,880 --> 02:58:42,880
Alex.

2274
02:58:42,880 --> 02:58:55,880
You've to borrow from chief. You've got a memo in your packet. So Brandi put this together. Planning and zoning did review this rezone a request at its meeting in April and recommended approval.

2275
02:58:55,880 --> 02:59:05,880
We did have public comment as part of that rezoning. There were a few that had written statements, which I can certainly provide to you.

2276
02:59:05,880 --> 02:59:16,880
Generally speaking, I would say most of the comments were in favor of keeping it to the single family. This rezoning would allow for a duplex.

2277
02:59:16,880 --> 02:59:23,880
So that's the general gist of it. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan.

2278
02:59:23,880 --> 02:59:34,880
I would say it largely fits the character of the surrounding neighborhood. There's RM 6 to the Southeast and then RM 3, which this is a rezone to RM 3 to the West.

2279
02:59:34,880 --> 02:59:42,880
Happy to answer any questions. Anyone have any questions for Alex.

2280
02:59:42,880 --> 02:59:51,880
No public appearances.

2281
02:59:51,880 --> 03:00:04,880
Yes, I believe that planning and zoning commission held public hearing on this. Yes, the comments. That's what I just said.

2282
03:00:04,880 --> 03:00:10,880
Is there a motion.

2283
03:00:10,880 --> 03:00:24,880
I'll make motion to approve ordinance 2026 dash 005 to rezone approximately 0.33 acres currently addressed at 612 Park Avenue to the RM 3 residential makes to family district.

2284
03:00:25,880 --> 03:00:28,880
Seconded by Jim.

2285
03:00:28,880 --> 03:00:31,880
All those in favor say aye.

2286
03:00:31,880 --> 03:00:32,880
Aye.

2287
03:00:32,880 --> 03:00:33,880
Opposed no.

2288
03:00:33,880 --> 03:00:36,880
Motion carries unanimously.

2289
03:00:36,880 --> 03:00:50,880
Resolution 2026 053 resolution accepting the laws qualified bids and awarding contracts for chip ceiling and crack filling contracts A and B respectively within the village.

2290
03:00:50,880 --> 03:00:57,880
Greg, I want to go with the packet. There's a memo on the packet. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

2291
03:00:57,880 --> 03:00:59,880
We have no public appearances.

2292
03:00:59,880 --> 03:01:02,880
None. Okay. Any discussion?

2293
03:01:02,880 --> 03:01:05,880
Zero motion.

2294
03:01:05,880 --> 03:01:09,880
I'll make a motion to accept.

2295
03:01:09,880 --> 03:01:15,880
Resolution 2026 053.

2296
03:01:15,880 --> 03:01:17,880
Is there a second.

2297
03:01:17,880 --> 03:01:21,880
Motion by Jan seconded by Jim.

2298
03:01:21,880 --> 03:01:24,880
All those in favor bring the capes aye.

2299
03:01:24,880 --> 03:01:25,880
Aye.

2300
03:01:25,880 --> 03:01:27,880
All those opposed no.

2301
03:01:27,880 --> 03:01:30,880
Motion carries unanimously.

2302
03:01:30,880 --> 03:01:41,880
Resolution 2026 054 resolution supporting the establishment of a sustainable transportation funding solution.

2303
03:01:41,880 --> 03:01:44,880
Mr. Chang.

2304
03:01:45,880 --> 03:01:47,880
I guess there was a memo on the packet.

2305
03:01:47,880 --> 03:01:49,880
It was a memo on the packet.

2306
03:01:49,880 --> 03:01:54,880
This is something supported by the Wisconsin League of Municipalities and to make their case with the state.

2307
03:01:54,880 --> 03:02:00,880
They'd like as many municipalities as possible to kick in and say, give us some more money for roads.

2308
03:02:00,880 --> 03:02:04,880
They set that they set their legislative agenda every year.

2309
03:02:04,880 --> 03:02:07,880
I'm not prepared for the legislative session transportation.

2310
03:02:07,880 --> 03:02:13,880
It has been stagnant or quite some time. They're the formula for which the amounts are determined.

2311
03:02:13,880 --> 03:02:19,880
And so wherever we can, we are sleeping for more state aid towards municipalities.

2312
03:02:19,880 --> 03:02:26,880
This would include all local governance. So talents and counties also.

2313
03:02:26,880 --> 03:02:29,880
You didn't need action on that.

2314
03:02:30,880 --> 03:02:35,880
Motion to approve resolution 2026 054.

2315
03:02:35,880 --> 03:02:36,880
Second.

2316
03:02:36,880 --> 03:02:39,880
Motion by Brad second by Jan.

2317
03:02:39,880 --> 03:02:42,880
All those in favor indicate the saying aye.

2318
03:02:42,880 --> 03:02:43,880
Aye.

2319
03:02:43,880 --> 03:02:44,880
And but.

2320
03:02:44,880 --> 03:02:50,880
I just wanted to ask what, what are they actually asking for just additional funds?

2321
03:02:50,880 --> 03:02:52,880
Are they asking for different creative.

2322
03:02:53,880 --> 03:02:55,880
Be using things like that because.

2323
03:02:55,880 --> 03:02:59,880
The state that I'm not necessarily for creating.

2324
03:02:59,880 --> 03:03:02,880
Say wheel tax or other things like that.

2325
03:03:02,880 --> 03:03:06,880
Yeah, it's, it's primarily additional funds into.

2326
03:03:06,880 --> 03:03:09,880
The general transportation aid bucket.

2327
03:03:09,880 --> 03:03:13,880
And allocation into it from different sources potentially.

2328
03:03:13,880 --> 03:03:18,880
Not necessarily just the taxes received by the state for it.

2329
03:03:19,880 --> 03:03:23,880
That which could lead to other discussions generally.

2330
03:03:23,880 --> 03:03:29,880
When these things are being negotiated at the legislative level, some folks may become.

2331
03:03:29,880 --> 03:03:36,880
Creative in ways to put revenues into that bucket. So that's why I believe it's.

2332
03:03:36,880 --> 03:03:39,880
It's ran the way that it is.

2333
03:03:43,880 --> 03:03:45,880
We have a motion and a second.

2334
03:03:46,880 --> 03:03:48,880
We need to vote.

2335
03:03:48,880 --> 03:03:50,880
We need to vote or do we do a vote.

2336
03:03:50,880 --> 03:03:51,880
We need to vote.

2337
03:03:51,880 --> 03:03:54,880
All those in favor and keep it saying aye.

2338
03:03:54,880 --> 03:03:55,880
Aye.

2339
03:03:55,880 --> 03:03:56,880
All those opposed no.

2340
03:03:56,880 --> 03:03:57,880
No.

2341
03:03:57,880 --> 03:03:58,880
Five.

2342
03:03:58,880 --> 03:03:59,880
Five.

2343
03:03:59,880 --> 03:04:00,880
Is one.

2344
03:04:00,880 --> 03:04:01,880
No.

2345
03:04:01,880 --> 03:04:03,880
Yeah, I have it.

2346
03:04:03,880 --> 03:04:14,880
Where's resolution 2026 dash 055 resolution authorizing the purchase of an additional census water.

2347
03:04:15,880 --> 03:04:17,880
Reading tower for the water utility.

2348
03:04:17,880 --> 03:04:18,880
Good.

2349
03:04:18,880 --> 03:04:19,880
Greg and Brendan.

2350
03:04:19,880 --> 03:04:20,880
Brandon.

2351
03:04:20,880 --> 03:04:24,880
I go to echo my fellow team members memo in the packet.

2352
03:04:24,880 --> 03:04:27,880
Please let us know if there's any questions or concerns.

2353
03:04:27,880 --> 03:04:30,880
No public appearances.

2354
03:04:30,880 --> 03:04:33,880
Is there a motion?

2355
03:04:33,880 --> 03:04:34,880
Bill.

2356
03:04:34,880 --> 03:04:36,880
I want to read.

2357
03:04:37,880 --> 03:04:42,880
Restate the memo and make sure that the board knows that.

2358
03:04:42,880 --> 03:04:47,880
The 5th Street 1119 is not in the current budget.

2359
03:04:47,880 --> 03:04:52,880
Where the water utility.

2360
03:04:52,880 --> 03:05:01,880
But my dancing has determined that there will be capacity within the utility to be able to support this project.

2361
03:05:02,880 --> 03:05:04,880
We noted.

2362
03:05:04,880 --> 03:05:06,880
Where was that?

2363
03:05:06,880 --> 03:05:10,880
Can you just briefly describe how this works.

2364
03:05:10,880 --> 03:05:12,880
It's not somebody driving around anymore.

2365
03:05:12,880 --> 03:05:13,880
Check in a meter.

2366
03:05:13,880 --> 03:05:15,880
It's a pulling data to.

2367
03:05:15,880 --> 03:05:18,880
Yeah, so we've got antennas.

2368
03:05:18,880 --> 03:05:21,880
Well, one antenna on the river old water tower.

2369
03:05:21,880 --> 03:05:26,880
That actually comes over on point to point to Madison Street tower.

2370
03:05:27,880 --> 03:05:29,880
Back to pennies office.

2371
03:05:29,880 --> 03:05:31,880
Where they can.

2372
03:05:31,880 --> 03:05:34,880
Do all the reads and actually.

2373
03:05:34,880 --> 03:05:36,880
And Marsha will.

2374
03:05:36,880 --> 03:05:41,880
Review all the readings like we can see how much people are using.

2375
03:05:41,880 --> 03:05:44,880
And if they've got a spike in usage, they.

2376
03:05:44,880 --> 03:05:45,880
She calls.

2377
03:05:45,880 --> 03:05:47,880
Residents and.

2378
03:05:47,880 --> 03:05:49,880
We'll let them know.

2379
03:05:50,880 --> 03:05:59,880
But the majority of our issue right now is while there's lack of redundancy redundancy.

2380
03:05:59,880 --> 03:06:02,880
So if that tower goes down, we have to go out and read them.

2381
03:06:02,880 --> 03:06:06,880
Drive around and read them, which takes hours.

2382
03:06:06,880 --> 03:06:11,880
Two or three guys, which we had to do when we had the power.

2383
03:06:11,880 --> 03:06:13,880
Repainted last year.

2384
03:06:13,880 --> 03:06:14,880
Wasn't fun.

2385
03:06:15,880 --> 03:06:18,880
But we also since then have.

2386
03:06:18,880 --> 03:06:25,880
Two to 200 to 225 water meters that we have to go out and.

2387
03:06:25,880 --> 03:06:27,880
Read by hand.

2388
03:06:27,880 --> 03:06:30,880
So by adding this tower.

2389
03:06:30,880 --> 03:06:33,880
Extra tower should hopefully.

2390
03:06:33,880 --> 03:06:35,880
Take care of that.

2391
03:06:35,880 --> 03:06:38,880
And then all the reads will be back here.

2392
03:06:38,880 --> 03:06:41,880
So this tower will be down at token Creek.

2393
03:06:42,880 --> 03:06:43,880
Anderson road.

2394
03:06:43,880 --> 03:06:44,880
Water tower.

2395
03:06:44,880 --> 03:06:46,880
It'll be a standalone.

2396
03:06:46,880 --> 03:06:48,880
Oh.

2397
03:06:48,880 --> 03:06:52,880
Is that any else.

2398
03:06:52,880 --> 03:06:57,880
A little in favor of resolution 2026.

2399
03:06:57,880 --> 03:06:58,880
055.

2400
03:06:58,880 --> 03:07:00,880
I don't think we had a motion.

2401
03:07:00,880 --> 03:07:01,880
Motion.

2402
03:07:01,880 --> 03:07:02,880
All right.

2403
03:07:02,880 --> 03:07:04,880
We need a motion.

2404
03:07:04,880 --> 03:07:05,880
I'm sorry.

2405
03:07:05,880 --> 03:07:07,880
I thought we did that.

2406
03:07:08,880 --> 03:07:12,880
Motion to approve resolution 2026.

2407
03:07:12,880 --> 03:07:18,880
055 authorizing purchase of additional census water reading tower for the water utility.

2408
03:07:18,880 --> 03:07:19,880
I can.

2409
03:07:19,880 --> 03:07:23,880
Motion by Alicia, seconded by Melanie.

2410
03:07:23,880 --> 03:07:25,880
All those in favor.

2411
03:07:25,880 --> 03:07:27,880
And to keep us saying hi.

2412
03:07:27,880 --> 03:07:29,880
All those opposed no.

2413
03:07:29,880 --> 03:07:32,880
Motion carries unanimously.

2414
03:07:33,880 --> 03:07:42,880
Convene into call session discussion and possible action regarding the acquisition of public land for park land and public service facilities.

The investing of public funds or conducting other specified public business.

2418
03:07:58,880 --> 03:08:02,880
Whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session.

2419
03:08:02,880 --> 03:08:10,880
Village forward may we convene an open session and take action on the subject matter discussed in closed session bill.

2420
03:08:10,880 --> 03:08:12,880
All right.

2421
03:08:12,880 --> 03:08:19,880
So as you know, we are working towards all the working to the due diligence for the acquisition of.

2422
03:08:19,880 --> 03:08:27,880
The properties at 6889 and 6897 I believe.

2423
03:08:27,880 --> 03:08:32,880
North town road, which is the lane burger farm.

2424
03:08:32,880 --> 03:08:35,880
The intention of acquiring those properties.

2425
03:08:35,880 --> 03:08:43,880
Again, was for future site site for a future public services facility and a community park.

2426
03:08:43,880 --> 03:08:47,880
As we work through the inspections.

2427
03:08:47,880 --> 03:08:52,880
We did find a number of defects associated with.

2428
03:08:52,880 --> 03:08:59,880
The home inspection Apple locations and then the shared while system.

2429
03:08:59,880 --> 03:09:04,880
So we do have those contingencies within our.

2430
03:09:04,880 --> 03:09:13,880
Our offer to purchase the properties and so this is the time and opportunity for the board to consider.

2431
03:09:14,880 --> 03:09:19,880
Those defects and whether or not there is a.

2432
03:09:19,880 --> 03:09:22,880
substantial impact to.

2433
03:09:22,880 --> 03:09:27,880
Where the villa stands towards the purchase of the property.

2434
03:09:27,880 --> 03:09:30,880
Quite frankly.

2435
03:09:30,880 --> 03:09:33,880
Again, the property was intended to.

2436
03:09:33,880 --> 03:09:38,880
Be purchased for the public services facility and park.

2437
03:09:38,880 --> 03:09:44,880
However, we did not intend to construct that facility until.

2438
03:09:44,880 --> 03:09:48,880
Twenty twenty nine or later, which leaves a couple of years in between.

2439
03:09:48,880 --> 03:09:52,880
A consideration of bringing back revenue towards this.

2440
03:09:52,880 --> 03:10:00,880
Property was to be able to rent facilities or be able to utilize the homes for.

2441
03:10:00,880 --> 03:10:02,880
Other uses.

2442
03:10:02,880 --> 03:10:04,880
That option.

2443
03:10:04,880 --> 03:10:08,880
Is jeopardized here by these defects and that.

2444
03:10:08,880 --> 03:10:13,880
These would be would have to be addressed before we would be able to rent.

2445
03:10:13,880 --> 03:10:14,880
The homes out.

2446
03:10:14,880 --> 03:10:19,880
Now again, there wasn't ever a decision made by the village board.

2447
03:10:19,880 --> 03:10:21,880
To do that.

2448
03:10:21,880 --> 03:10:26,880
However, it doesn't impact the revenues potentially helping the offset.

2449
03:10:26,880 --> 03:10:35,880
Or compensating for at least a small portion of the purchase price.

2450
03:10:35,880 --> 03:10:39,880
So at this point needs some direction from the board.

2451
03:10:39,880 --> 03:10:41,880
If the board would like to consider.

2452
03:10:41,880 --> 03:10:46,880
Any change in terms or potentially negotiation.

2453
03:10:46,880 --> 03:10:49,880
A deliberation of the defects.

2454
03:10:49,880 --> 03:10:52,880
I would recommend moving into calls session.

2455
03:10:52,880 --> 03:10:56,880
If the board is thinking, Hey, we purchased this for a certain reason.

2456
03:10:56,880 --> 03:10:59,880
We're not interested in being landlords.

2457
03:10:59,880 --> 03:11:02,880
And we want to move forward a closing.

2458
03:11:02,880 --> 03:11:05,880
Then simply instruct me to do so.

2459
03:11:05,880 --> 03:11:08,880
We'll continue to move forward in our due diligence.

2460
03:11:08,880 --> 03:11:14,880
We do have remaining as our environmental phase one assessment.

2461
03:11:14,880 --> 03:11:17,880
And then an all total survey.

2462
03:11:17,880 --> 03:11:19,880
Of the property.

2463
03:11:20,880 --> 03:11:24,880
These inspections, except for the yes, the environmental.

2464
03:11:24,880 --> 03:11:27,880
Except for the all to survey.

2465
03:11:27,880 --> 03:11:31,880
Is Nintendo be completed by May 22nd.

2466
03:11:31,880 --> 03:11:34,880
And the closing is set for July 1st.

2467
03:11:40,880 --> 03:11:42,880
Well, the compareances.

2468
03:11:42,880 --> 03:11:43,880
None.

2469
03:11:43,880 --> 03:11:45,880
Discussion.

2470
03:11:45,880 --> 03:11:46,880
Oops.

2471
03:11:46,880 --> 03:11:48,880
Yeah, go ahead, Jim.

2472
03:11:49,880 --> 03:11:51,880
I just going to ask you.

2473
03:11:51,880 --> 03:11:58,880
The property owners have been talked about talked to and have they offered the remedy and these defects.

2474
03:11:58,880 --> 03:12:01,880
Well, we've sent over.

2475
03:12:01,880 --> 03:12:04,880
The inspection reports.

2476
03:12:04,880 --> 03:12:09,880
They've acknowledged receipt of them, but there has been no offer yet.

2477
03:12:09,880 --> 03:12:13,880
Frankly, they are waiting for a response from the board.

2478
03:12:14,880 --> 03:12:18,880
Motion to convene into closed session.

2479
03:12:18,880 --> 03:12:21,880
Motion by Brad to convene into closed.

2480
03:12:21,880 --> 03:12:22,880

2516
03:14:00,880 --> 03:14:05,880
I was wondering if you just wanted to talk about your your listening sessions that you're going to hold.

2517
03:14:05,880 --> 03:14:08,880
Oh, well, I'm going to try something.

It's a little discovery room here for lack of a better place to get started.

You did.

2534
03:14:54,880 --> 03:14:55,880
I didn't hear you.

2535
03:14:55,880 --> 03:14:57,880
I literally didn't say anything.

2536
03:14:57,880 --> 03:14:58,880
I'm sorry.

2537
03:14:58,880 --> 03:14:59,880

03:15:06,880 --> 03:15:07,880
We were at the same time.

2543
03:15:07,880 --> 03:15:09,880
