UM THIS PROJECT CONSISTS OF THE REPLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION OF CONCRETE CURBS AND CONCRETE RAMPS. AND THEN ONCE ALL THE CONCRETE WORK IS COMPLETE, THE ROADWAY WILL BE RESURFACED.

THOSE ARE ALL THE UPDATES. WE HAVE I WOULD. I WOULD ONLY ADD, YOU KNOW, AND I SAID THIS IN THE COMMITTEE MEETING JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, UH, SAFETY SERVICE COMMITTEE. YOU KNOW THE MAINTENANCE THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN AND AROUND OUR COMMUNITY. IS LIKE I DON'T I AND HANKS, YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZES THAT IT'S UNPRECEDENTED. I THINK YOU KNOW THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT IS DOING RIGHT NOW IN THE RAMPS, AND WE'RE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE THAT AS WE GET COMMUNICATION FROM O DOT UH AND OBVIOUSLY, SOME OF THE PROJECTS, K. UH UH, TALKED ABOUT RIGHT NOW, I WOULD JUST ASK FOR EVERYBODY TO REALLY , UH, BE PATIENT. THESE ARE MAINTENANCE ITEMS, ROADWAYS THAT REQUIRE MAINTENANCE OR EVEN IN THE CASE OF 30, THE 31 PHASE THREE. IT'S A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT TO THE ROADWAY MOVING FORWARD, SO I KNOW LAST YEAR WE HAD THE ELWOOD PROJECT AS WELL AS THE FOUR STREET BRIDGE PROJECT HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME, SO I JUST ASKED PEOPLE PATIENCE AS YOU MEANDER AROUND OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE'LL TRY TO GET THESE PROJECTS.

COMPLETED AS QUICKLY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN, AND WE'LL TRY TO COMMUNICATE THINGS AS WE KNOW THEY'RE HAPPENING. OBVIOUSLY IT'S PRETTY EASY FOR US AS AS WE CONTROL THE PAINTING PROGRAM SO WE CAN WE CAN DO THINGS WITHOUT PRE PRETTY EASILY WITH THE 31 PHASE THREE PROJECT EASILY THE O PROJECT. ON THE OTHER HAND, THINGS SEEM TO CHANGE ALMOST DAILY AND WILL CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE THOSE AS WE KNOW THEM. AND THEN WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT.

DIRECT ACCESS TO, UM, THE APPROPRIATE SITES TO GET THE LATEST AND GREATEST. YEAH, OUR OUR CITY WEBSITE AND WE'LL BE WE'LL BE PUTTING THAT INFORMATION OUT ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE AS WE KNOW THEM, BUT THE ONE THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST EFFECTIVE IN JEREMY'S STRESSES. THIS OFTEN IS THEY'LL BE MESSAGE BOARDS THAT WILL BE OUT PRIOR TO YOU GETTING INTO SOME OF THESE AREAS, AND THOSE MESSAGE BOARDS ARE UPDATED DAILY. SO OBVIOUSLY A AS YOU AS

[00:25:02]

YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO THERE? BUT I, I DIDN'T THINK WE COULD GET ANOTHER SIX. MONTHS TO A YEAR OUT OF IT, SO WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, UH, SOMETHING MAYBE NOT TEMPORARY, BUT CLOSER TO TEMPORARY PERMANENT TOBIAS SOME TIME. THANKS. ANYBODY ELSE? OK? REPORT OF CLERK OR COUNCIL.

[REPORT OF CLERK OF COUNCIL]

CAN WATCH IT ONLINE. 24 7, I'VE ADDED TO THE PACKETS. THERE'S CLICKABLE LINKS. SO INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SCROLL THROUGH 300 PAGES, YOU CAN JUST CLICK ON THE PARTICULAR ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN. AND YOU CAN ACCESS IT QUICKER. UM I'VE ALSO TRIED TO ADD A LOT OF TIMES. PIECES OF LEGISLATION WILL BE DISCUSSED AT A COMMITTEE MEETING . AND SO I'VE TRIED TO ADD THAT INFORMATION INTO THE AGENDA SO THAT YOU CAN MORE EASILY SEE WHERE THAT'S AT. UM ONLINE. I'VE ADDED, UM, A LEGISLATION INDEX SO THAT WHEN YOU GO ONLINE, AND IF YOU WANT TO SEE AN ORDINANCE OR A RESOLUTION, UM YOU HAVE THE TITLE SO YOU COULD SEARCH BY TITLE NOW VERSUS JUST HAVING TO KNOW THE ORDINANCE NUMBER THAT WAS THERE AND ALSO DATES WHEN THAT IS PASSED AS WELL. UM, ORDINANCES SINCE 2017 ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE PRIOR TO THAT THEY ARE ONLY IN THE ARCHIVES. SO IF WE DO NEED TO PULL THEM I CAN PULL THEM, BUT THEN THEY'RE NOT ELECTRONIC, BUT THE ONES THAT I DO HAVE PRIOR TO 2017 THAT OUR ELECTRONIC ARE THERE.

UM AND THEN THE LAST THING IS WHEN I DO MINUTES. I'VE ADDED THE ORDINANCE NUMBER RELATED TO THE LEGISLATION THAT PASSES TO THE MINUTES. SO UM, IN THESE UPDATES ARE OFF BASED ON FEEDBACK THAT I'VE RECEIVED FROM COUNCIL. UM, ASKING, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE MAKE INFORMATION MORE ACCESSIBLE TO OUR RESIDENTS AND EASIER FOR THEM TO LOCATE? SO UM, THOSE UPDATES ARE JUST BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN FROM COUNCIL SO THANK YOU. WELL I CAN TELL YOU THAT. I

[00:30:03]

[REPORT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT]

GREAT INFORMATION. WE HAD GREAT TURNOUT. UM BUT WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

UM AND MORE MANAGEABLE THIS YEAR . SO UH, WE'RE ONLY DOING FOUR THIS YEAR, SO THE FIRST ONE WAS LAST WEEK, WHICH WAS A COMMUNITY VISIONING SESSION. UM FROM, UH, JAMIE GREEN FROM PLANNING NEXT, AND HE UM, AS PART OF THAT WE SENT OUT A SURVEY, UM, TO GET COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, AND WE GOT OVER 350 RESPONSES, UM, WHICH WAS PRETTY GOOD FOR SUCH A SHORT WINDOW. WE ONLY HAD ABOUT TWO WEEKS THAT THAT WAS OPEN. AND SO THAT KIND OF INFORMED SOME OF THE DISCUSSION THAT THAT WE HAD LAST WEEK. UM JUST AN OVERVIEW OF KIND OF WHAT WE WANTED, UM WHAT THE PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE, WHICH WAS ABOUT 70 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE, KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT WHERE THE COMMUNITY UM WHERE THEY KIND OF ENVISION THE COMMUNITY TO BE, SO IT'S A PRETTY GOOD OVERALL, WE'RE STILL KIND OF TAKING IT IN AND SEEING WHAT WHAT TO DO NEXT. UM FROM A SPEAKER SERIES PERSPECTIVE, IT WAS RECORDED, SO I'LL SEND OUT THE VIDEO. AND THEN THE PRESENTATION SLIDES. UM IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, IF YOU REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO WATCH IT OR GO THROUGH THE SLIDES, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO US, UM , LAST ITEM, WE HAVE, UM, AN INTERN THAT WE'VE HIRED FOR THE SUMMER THAT WE'LL BE STARTING THIS WEEK, SO WE MIGHT BRING HIM BY, UM, CO SO WE'RE EXCITED. IS A UNION COUNTY RESIDENT. HE LIVES IN, UM VILLAGE OF PLAIN CITY. UM MUSIC MAJOR DOUBLE WITH A PLANNING MAJOR. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO, UM, HAVE HIM ON BOARD FOR THE SUMMER. SO AND THAT'S IT. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR SAVANNAH. I MAY JUST ADD, UH BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT THE AIC AND POTENTIALLY DOWN THE ROAD

[00:35:02]

IT'S DIFFERENT TO KIND OF SEE IT ON PAPER VERSUS SEEING IT IN PERSON, SO WE'RE EXCITED TO START SHOWING IT OFF. AND UM HAVING PEOPLE, UM BE IN THERE AND IT'S GONNA BE REALLY EXCITING. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THAT AS WELL. ANYBODY ASK ANY QUESTIONS? THE ONLY STATEMENT THAT I WILL SAY THERE'S TWO OF THEM ONE OF THEM. THE FIRST ONE IS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, AS WE ALL KNOW, AND OTHER MEMBERS WHO HAVE RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOOR TO DOOR, YOU, YOU KNOW YOU GET CAUGHT UP AND YOU LISTEN TO PEOPLE YOU HEAR? YOU KNOW YOU'RE HERE. YOU HEAR THEIR CONCERNS, BUT THEN WHEN THE ELECTION IS OVER, YOU KNOW YOU TAKE THAT TIME TO BRING GET YOUR LIFE BACK AND RIGHT. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL RESIDENTS DON'T REALLY ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE YOU DEDICATE YOUR WHOLE LIFE AND EVERYTHING TO JUST CAMPAIGNING, AND THEN IT TAKES YOU A MONTH OR TWO TO REGROUP AND FOCUS ON EVERYTHING THAT YOU PUT OFF. SO WHERE I'M GETTING WITH THAT IS SOMETIMES WE DON'T ALWAYS HEAR RESIDENTS CONCERNS WHEN IT COMES TO GROWTH OR WHERE THE CITY IS GOING, BUT TO BUT TO SAVANNAH'S POINT THAT YOU HAD 300 INDIVIDUALS RESPOND TO THAT SHOWS YOU THAT AS COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE SHOULD DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO BE ENGAGED WITH OUR CONSTITUENTS AND LISTENING TO THEM. BECAUSE IT'S STILL A HOT BUTTON ISSUE, AND WE MIGHT NOT HEAR IT AS MUCH BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CAMPAIGN SEASON HERE, BUT IT'S STILL A HOT BUTTON ISSUE, AND RESIDENTS ARE VERY CONCERNED WITH HOW HOW WE'RE GROWING. AND THAT'S WHY, UM, I DID ASK SAVANNAH IF SHE WOULD SEND OUT THAT POWERPOINT PRESENTATION TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, UM, BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S RIVETING INFORMATION, AND, UM, IT'S AND I. I ALSO THINK IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION WE ALREADY KNOW. UM BUT IT'S HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS INFORMATION? SO I THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO. AND UM, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE YOU'LL BE UP THERE AGAIN EVENTUALLY. THANKS. UM UH, STEVE. MR WOLF COUNCILMAN W? YES. SO WE HAD OUR MOST RECENT

[PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT]

[00:40:05]

[HEARING OF CITIZENS]

THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, I'M STEVEN SMITH. I LIVE AT 637 WEST FIFTH STREET AND LOVE IT. I LOVE THE AREA. I LIKE RESTORING THE OLD HOUSES. BUT I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE, UH, FIFTH STREET. IT'S STILL 33. BECAUSE PEOPLE DRIVE WAY TOO FAST DOWN THROUGH THERE, BUT I GIVE YOU A COMPLIMENT ON PUTTING UP THAT LITTLE SET OF SIGNS. THAT SAYS YOUR SPEED THAT'S HELPFUL. WHAT COULD EVEN ENHANCE IT EVEN MORE IS TO PUT THAT SIGN ON THE OTHER SIDE. HAVE A, UH, A SENSOR ON THE OTHER SIDE SO THAT PEOPLE COMING THE OTHER WAY THAT WAY YOU CAN USE THAT POST. BOTH WAYS. THAT WOULD HELP QUITE A BIT. AND THEN WHAT YOU WANNA DO WHEN YOU PUT THAT CENTERS ON THE SIDE RUN A LINE FROM THAT POLE TO THE SENSOR, BUT KEEP IT LOW ENOUGH TO KEEP ALL THE TRUCK TRAFFIC OUT OF THE AREA. THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC BECAUSE THEY DRIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE UP TIME OR SOMETHING DOWN THROUGH THERE. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF LITTLE KIDS A LOT OF OLD PEOPLE WALK UP AND DOWN THROUGH THERE. AND IF YOU'RE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME, THAT'S IF YOU STAND ON THAT CURB AND HAVE YOUR TOES OVER THE CURB. THEY'RE GONNA GET RUN OVER BECAUSE THE PEOPLE JUST BLOW DOWN THROUGH THERE. SO, UH, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING MORE HAPPEN THERE. MAYBE AROUND ABOUT AT EACH END OR SOMETHING THAT THE TRUCKS CAN'T GET THROUGH. YOU'RE ONE OF THE ONLY RESIDENTS THAT WOULD BE OK WITH THE ROUNDABOUT SO NORMALLY THIS ISN'T A BACK AND FORTH CONVERSATION. BUT I'LL LET TERRY WE ARE DOING STUFF WITH TRUCK TRAFFIC AS OF RIGHT NOW, AND WHAT'S NICE IS WE DO STUDY THAT AREA WE'VE JUST FOUND BECAUSE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THOSE, UH, SPEED DETECTORS. UH, THE SPEED LIMIT. WHAT'S THE AVERAGE JEREMY ON THAT STRETCH NOW WHAT? WHAT ARE WE AVERAGING ON SPEED. THE SPEED LIMIT DROPPED BY ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF PER HOUR. SO PREVIOUSLY BEFORE WE STARTED DOING THE STUDIES, YOU KNOW WAS IN THAT 30 RANGE. UH, SO 55 OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. NOW IT'S IN THE UPPER 28. SO 28 7 TO 29, DEPENDING ON WHICH DIRECTION YOU'RE, UH, YOU'RE GOING SO YOU YOU GOT RED LIGHTS AND BLUE LIGHTS FLASHING HER. THE OTHER THING IS, MOST PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH A BLACKOUT OR THE SPEED LIMIT. IF YOU DROP IT DOWN TO THAT WAS. YEAH AND SPEED LIMITS. 25 I THINK IS THE

[00:45:09]

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR SMITH. OK NOW WE'RE IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS? I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING. SO THAT WAS THE THIRD. WEST FIFTH RESIDENT THAT I HEARD TONIGHT. UH, EXPRESS APPRECIATION ABOUT THE SPEED SIGN SO MHM. IN THE COURSE OF TWO MEETINGS. SO NICE TO HEAR THAT MOVING ON TO RESOLUTIONS.

[Res. A]

MR PRESIDENT. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LEGISLATION. OK? ROLL CALL. MR WOLF? YES, MR. BUR, MR BERGER. MISTER HUNTER. MR REAMS, MR. RAUCH. MR? YES. RESOLUTION. RESOLUTION B. ONE

[Res. B]

ADMINISTRATION. AGAIN THIS IS, UH UH, AN ANNEXATION, UH, FROM MARYSVILLE EAST AREA, AND PRIMARILY THE PURPOSE OF THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF LEGISLATION IS FOR US TO INDICATE OUR ABILITY TO SERVE THAT AREA AND WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY, OBVIOUSLY BY THE RECENT SEWER PUMP STATION THAT WE'VE BUILT AND WE DO HAVE THE SERVICES AVAILABLE. TO THIS PARTICULAR AREA. ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS? JUST THAT THE APPLICATION FOR ANNEXATION WAS FILED LAST WEDNESDAY, AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT ON TO THIS AGENDA TONIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVE 20 DAYS TO PASS THE S THE SERVICES RESOLUTION AND THEN FORWARD IT OVER TO, UH, THE COUNTY. WE HAVE 20 DAYS TO PASS A SERVICES RESOLUTION, AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS THE ONE THAT THE CITY WANTS.

THE COUNCIL WANTS TO PASS. BUT UH, THIS IS THIS IS AGAIN THE THIRD PHASE OF THE EAST ANNEXATION. AND AS YOU'LL SEE, IT'S NOT A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER TWO. AND MR BARR IS HERE, TOO. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM HIM. BUT THIS DOESN'T APPROVE THE ANNEXATION

[00:50:03]

SO UH, IT IS ONE FAMILY TWO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE SAME FAMILY AS THE F FAMILY GROUND, BUT IT'S NORTH OF 36 JUST EAST OF TRACTOR SUPPLY. UM, IT SAYS THAT PORTION THERE WHICH IS THE LOWER TWO PORTIONS SITS BETWEEN TRACTOR SUPPLY AND THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S, UH, FACILITY, UH, THEIR TRAINING AND FACILITY. AND THEN ONCE YOU GET PAST, UH, THE TRAINING FACILITY, THEN THE ENTIRE ORDER. THAT'S WHY THERE'S SO MANY POINTS OUT THERE TO THE MORE IT FOLLOWS NO CREEK. SO MILK CREEK IS ACTUALLY LIKE RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. AND THEN THIS PROPERTY HERE, BORDERS THE BUSINESS PARK THAT IS OFF TO THE WEST OF THIS PARCEL. SO IT'S 100 FOR ROUGHLY 100. FOR 240 ACRES.

SORRY I MISSED HALF ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR PRESIDENT. I MAKE A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. ROLL CALL. MR BURGER? YES MR HUNTER? YES MR REAMS? YES, YES.

YES, MR WOLF? NO. MR BURBY SIX. YES. RESOLUTION. RESOLUTION C FIRST READING TITLE ONLY TO

[Res. C]

[00:55:05]

THANKS, MCKENZIE. WHILE SHE'S PULLING THAT UP, I'LL GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM. SO THE ACRONYM IS C DB G. SO IF I SAY THAT, THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS, UM THE C DB G FUNDING IS A FEDERAL FUNDING ADMINISTERED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, ALSO KNOWN AS HU. UM THE STATE OF OHIO ANNUAL ANNUALLY RECEIVES A PORTION OF THE C DB FUNDING FROM HE AND IS A MINISTERED BY AND THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT, THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. SO EVERY TWO YEARS, MARYSVILLE WE RECEIVE 100 AND $50,000 IN ELIGIBLE FUNDING FOR PROJECTS. THE GOAL OF THE C DB G COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE COMMUNITIES WITH FUNDING OR HOUSING IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF LOW TO MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.

FEDERAL REGULATIONS DEFINE PERSONS WHO ARE LM I OR LOADS MONITOR INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. AS EARNINGS UNDER 80% OF THE ANNUAL MEDIAN INCOME. AS DETERMINED BY HER SO SOME ELIGIBLE PROJECTS.

WE TYPICALLY, UM, USE THESE PROJECTS ON LIKE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. UH, SO IT COULD BE ON LIKE A STREETS PROJECT. UH, WATERLINE PROJECT WASTE WATER PROJECT, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THE LAST I WANNA SAY THREE OR FOUR ROUNDS. WE'VE USED IT ON SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS IN THE UPTOWN AND THAT'S KIND OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT WHERE WE PROPOSING THIS YEAR. SO HERE'S A MAP OF THE LM I AREAS IN MARYSVILLE, YOU CAN SEE THE RED IS KIND OF THE NORTHEAST OF THE UPTOWN, UM, FOR THE MOST PART, THE WHOLE EAST SIDE OF THE UPTOWN IS WITHIN THE LM I AREAS.

THE TWO AREAS WE WANT TO FOCUS ON WITH THIS APPLICATION IS CONNECTIVITY ALONG EAST FOURTH STREET. UM THERE IS A GAP IN THE SIDEWALK ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF EAST FOREST STREET. UM THERE'S A HAPPENSTANCE BREWERY GOING IN KIND OF DIAGONAL FROM LEON'S, AND THEN IF YOU LOOK TO THE EAST, THERE'S GONNA BE A GAP IN THE SIDEWALKS THERE, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT CLOSING THAT GAP.

WITH SOME NEW SIDEWALKS, SO THE GREEN SIDEWALKS WILL BE INSTALLED WITH A HAPPENSTANCE BREWERY PROJECT. THE RED WILL BE INSTALLED WITH THIS PROJECT WITH NEW DRIVE APPROACHES AS WELL.

THE OTHER AREA THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE. SOME IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALONG SOUTH WALNUT STREET BETWEEN FIFTH STREET AND SIXTH STREET. ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROAD, THERE'S BRICK PAVERS THAT HAS SINCE BEEN OVERTAKEN BY VEGETATION, WEEDS AND GRASS. UM AND ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE AROUND THE SIDEWALK. JUST BE KIND OF CRUMBLED UP, AND IT'S UH, IT'S UNEVEN. I'VE GOT SOME PICTURES HERE TO SHOW YOU THE CURRENT CONDITION. SO THAT'S A PICTURE OF THE BRICK SIDEWALKS THAT'S BEEN OVERTAKEN BY VEGETATION. AND THEN ON THE EAST SIDE, YOU CAN SEE IT'S DEFINITELY NOT AD A COMPLIANT AND THERE'S MULTIPLE TRIP HAZARDS THROUGHOUT THE AREA. SO THAT'S KIND OF A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT WHAT OUR PROPOSED PROJECT IS FOR THIS APPLICATION HAPPEN TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS EVERY TWO YEARS EVERY TWO YEARS. YEAH, YEAH. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UM, I'M JUST LOOKING FOR MAYBE A TIME FRAME. UH, BECAUSE WE ARE ASKED TO WA EATING SINCE ITS MONEY COMING TO US. YEAH. THE APPLICATION IS DUE JUNE 12TH 0. OK SO WE DO HAVE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. YEAH WE CAN GO THROUGH THIS COUNCIL MEETING IN THE NEXT BUT THEN YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU APPRECIATE IT. THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS THAT YOU KNOW. IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO ON EAST FOURTH STREET? I THINK THE POWER LINES IS ON THAT SIDE. WHERE THE SIDEWALKS GONNA BE BUILT WAS GONNA BE GONNA BE PUT IN. I THINK POWER LINES ARE, BUT IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO DO STREET TREES? WE CAN LOOK AT ADDING SOME STREET TREES AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE AN ELIGIBLE EXPENSE. UM BUT IT'S SOMETHING IF WE'RE DOING THE SIDEWALKS, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND SOME MONEY IN THEIR STREET CAPITAL BUDGET TO PUT SOME TREES IN THERE AS WELL AND PUTTING STREET TREES THERE AND THEN ALSO PUTTING STREET TREES

[01:00:04]

CITIZENS. HEARING NO COUNSEL. THE ONLY STATEMENT THAT I'LL MAKE IS YOU KNOW, NESTLE'S TO NOT ONLY CONTINUE TO WORK IN THE CITY BUT TO BRING THOSE JOBS IN THE CITY OF MAYORS THAT WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US. AND YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT I HAVE BEEN, UM, A VOICE FOR WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE INCOME TAX EVENTUALLY. BUT IF RESIDENTS DON'T WANT THEIR INCOME TAX TO BE RAISED THAT HIGH PAYING JOBS ARE SOMETHING THAT WE AS A COUNCIL ARE GONNA HAVE TO LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE TO OFFSET THE COST OF THE RISING COST OF JUST EVERYTHING. AND EVEN IF GROWTH ITSELF IS STOPPED COMPLETELY, THE COST TO MAINTAIN WILL NEVER STOP. SO UM, THEN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE NEED FOR MONEY. SO UM, WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY NOT ONLY HAVE NESTLE'S BEEN HERE FOR OVER 100 YEARS, BUT THEN ALSO BRING IN, UM, YOU KNOW, AAA PROFESSIONAL STAFF THAT WILL ADD TO THE INCOME FOR THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. SO I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE THANK YOU. AND I HOPE THAT THEY DO TAKE UP MY OFFER TO HAVE A TOUR OF NESTLE'S SO THAT WILL THAT WILL BE NO PROBLEM THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING. SO I TAKE A MOTION.

ADMINISTRATION WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL DEFER TO OUR POLICE CHIEF AND LET HIM AT LEAST GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE CONCERN OF OUR CONSTITUENT AND WHAT? WHAT WE'RE WORKING WITH HERE. THANK YOU, TERRY. UH, MEMBER MEMBERS OF COUNCIL I MET WITH, UH, THE CUNNINGHAMS. UH, PRIOR TO THIS MEETING STARTED, UH, THERE THEIR QUESTIONS WERE ABOUT B AND C. UM NOT AS MUCH ABOUT B WALKING THROUGH THAT THAT DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION TO CITY MANAGER AND THEN CHANGED THE VERBIAGE FROM WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN, JUST BASICALLY MOVED THAT AROUND AND KIND OF WORDSMITH THAT SO THERE'S NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO BE OTHER THAN CHANGING DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION TO CITY MANAGER UM, THE OTHER SECTION THAT, UH, THEY HAD A QUESTION ABOUT WAS SECTION SECTION C, UH, WHICH TALKS ABOUT THE E EXEMPTIONS OR EXCEPTIONS. PREVIOUSLY THE ORDINANCE HAD SAID THAT THIS ORDINANCE DID NOT APPLY TO MUNICIPAL MAINTENANCE TRUCKS OR OTHER VEHICLES BELONGING TO THE MUNICIPALITY. WORKING WITH MISTER HOYT AND MISTER ARSON HERE, GIVEN THAT WE CONTRACT WITH GARBAGE TRUCKS AND OTHER SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY. WE WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IN THERE SO THE LANGUAGE WAS CHANGED FROM NOT APPLYING TO EMPLOYEES, OPERATING MAINTENANCE TRUCKS AND OTHER VEHICLES BELONGING TO GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE NOT ONLY CITY OF MARYSVILLE, UNION COUNTY O DOT ET CETERA. UM AND THEN ANY CONTRACTED AGENCIES PROVIDING SERVICES ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT OR AGENCY TO KIND OF COVER THOSE GARBAGE TRUCKS AND OTHERS. UM SO, UH, AFTER TALKING WITH THEM THEY WERE. THEY WERE SATISFIED WITH MY ANSWERS AND DECIDED TO GO ON HOME. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. THAT WAS WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THAT. AND THANK YOU TO JOHN AND MICHELLE CUNNINGHAM FOR THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND THEN ALSO THANK YOU TO STAFF FOR LISTENING AND ANSWERING THEIR CONCERNS AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY CONCERNED WITH WEST FIFTH STREET, AND THEY

[01:20:03]

IT'S AN APPLICATION THAT THEY GET EVERY YEAR AND THEN IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE SAME BOND THAT THEY ROLL OVER OR THEY THEY UPDATE THE, UH, UPDATE THE DATE. SO UM, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD PUT, UH, WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC SERVICE, OR, UH, THE POLICE DIVISION. UH, PUT SOMEBODY IN CHARGE OF THAT JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW EVERYBODY'S UPDATED AS OF JANUARY, 1ST IF THEY NEED IT.

BUT YOU HAD MENTIONED LIKE JONES DISTRIBUTING SO LIKE IF IT'S A BEER DISTRIBUTOR, THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. TO DRIVE UPTOWN TO DELIVER TO LEONS CORRECT AS LONG AS THEY'RE MAKING DELIVERIES GOING TO AND FROM MAKING DELIVERIES OR WHERE THEY IT'S JUST IF THEY WERE A THROUGH TRUCK, NOT MAKING A STOP, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE GOTTEN AND THINK ABOUT LIKE O DOT WHENEVER THEY HAVE LARGE LOADS GOING DOWN. THEY HAVE A IT'S PERMITTED. LOAD IT. IT'S THE SAME THING THAT'S IN OUR ORDINANCE. BUT LIKE I SAID, I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING WE USE A WHOLE LOT, IF AT ALL. SO THAT MY FOLLOW UP TO THAT MIGHT NOT MIGHT BE KIND OF A MOOT POINT. BUT IT SAYS THAT THEY MUST TAKE THE SHORTEST AND MOST DIRECT ROUTE. NO MATTER NO MATTER WHAT, AND I GUESS, I COULD SEE SOME SITUATIONS WHERE WE MIGHT NOT WANT THEM TO TAKE THE SHORTEST AND OR MOST DIRECT ROUTE. I MEAN, MAYBE WE JUST REPAVE THAT ROAD OR OR THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON RIGHT? I. I BELIEVE THAT ALLOWS US TO DESIGNATE THE ROUTE AT WHICH THEY WOULD TAKE SO WE WOULD TAKE THAT IN CONSIDERATION WHAT IT SAYS, IS THAT THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO DEVIATING FROM A FROM A STATE ROUTE OR WHAT HAVE YOU, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR A LARGE VEHICLE, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. A LARGER VEHICLE THAT WOULD BE COMING THROUGH THERE. SO YEAH, WE WOULDN'T BE SENDING THAT DOWN COTTAGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YEAH, THAT WAS ONE THAT CAME RIGHT TO MY SENT OF GOD. JUST BECAUSE IT WAS WE'LL GO A FEW MORE THINGS. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO I DO. YEAH. YOU STILL TAKING CITIZENS? UH YEAH, TOO, TOO LATE. I THINK HIS HAND WAS UP. OH, IT WAS. OH, OK, WELL, IF YOU IF YOUR HAND HAND OH, YES. IF YOUR HAND WAS UP THEN I'M SORRY THAT I SKIPPED YOU. SO YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE PODIUM STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. IN YOUR FIVE MINUTES. I'M STEPHEN SMITH AND I LIVE AT 637 WEST. FIFTH STREET, LOVE THAT STREET. WELL, THEN IT'S A LITTLE DANGEROUS. UM THERE IS A SIGN THAT EACH END OF THAT STREET THAT SAYS NO. THREE TRUCKS NOW WHAT'S THE DEFINITION OF NO THROUGH TRUCKS? NOT ME, NOT MAKING A STOP DELIVERY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. CAN WE? CAN WE CHANGE THE WORDING ON THAT? NO TRUCKS. WELL IF YOU OWNED A BUSINESS UPTOWN, YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT THAT. YEAH, WELL, WE'VE GOT TRUCKS GOING THROUGH THERE FROM KROGER FROM WALMART. THEY CAN TAKE 33. WE DON'T NEED ALL THESE TRUCKS FOR IT. IT'S DANGEROUS. I JUST WORRY ABOUT ALL THE LITTLE KIDS AND THE PEOPLE THAT WALK THE STREETS THERE. IN FACT, YOU COULD EVEN PUT A CROSSWALK SIGN OVER THERE RIGHT THERE AT THE BEND IN THE ROAD, JUST LIKE THE OTHER END OF TOWN. AND THAT MIGHT, UH GET PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT THAT TURN. THAT TURN IS SO DANGEROUS RIGHT THERE. I, TOO, YOU KNOW TO JUST REALLY QUICKLY AGAIN THAT NORM MACE IS ON A BACK AND FORTH CONVERSATION. BUT WE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT THE MIRROR OBVIOUSLY I LIVE ON EAST FIFTH STREET. SO, I, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'VE HAD TRUCKS COME DOWN DOWN THE STREET AT TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, AND MY PHOTOS HAVE FALLING OFF THE WALL AND THEY BUSTED THE GLASSES BROKEN. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE A BIG 18 WHEELERS COMING DOWN, AND THEN THEY'RE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ENOUGH TO SHAKE A PHOTO OFF OF MY HOME TO THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND THE FOUNDATIONS YEAH, AND, UM, BUT I

[01:25:03]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO THIS WILL BE BACK THEN FOR OR DOES SOMEBODY WANT TO MAKE THE MOTION TO WAIVE THIRD READING? I MEAN, AND WILL YOU COUNSEL SEEMS LIKE, UM MR BROOKS, YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTION. THAT WAS A PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THIS EVENING. CORRECT YES, I COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE SATISFIED WITH YOUR RESPONSE. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER. UM, CONSTITUENTS. MEDIA CONCERNS . I UNDERSTAND THE IT'S A BROADER CONCERN WITH THE SPEED AND WHICH THE VEHICLES ARE ARE ARE ARE ARE ARE FLOWING THROUGH FIFTH. UM BUT AS IT PERTAINS TO THIS, THIS LEGISLATION THAT I WOULD WAVE TO THEIR MOTION TO WAIVE THE THIRD READING. IF THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL I, I WOULD DO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL COMMENT, SO JUST ONE THING I WANT TO MENTION IS THAT, UM, THE POINT THAT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT LIKE WHAT ARE THROUGH TRUCKS OR WHAT? I MEAN, THE THERE IS A REALITY BEHIND THIS AND IT'S THAT YOU CAN'T ZONE OUT EVERYTHING FROM OCCURRING. UM YOU BUT ONE APPROACH COULD BE TO BE DISMISSIVE AND JUST SAY, WELL, THE SIGN IS WHAT IT IS. AND I THINK THAT THE APPROACH THAT WE'RE TAKING HERE, UM, WE TRY TO ZONE WE TRY TO PUT THE ZONING WHAT IS, YOU KNOW, A BETTER DEFINITION AND WE HAVE TO TRY TO ENFORCE THAT. BUT IT IS EFFORT AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE DONE SO THERE IS YOU KNOW IT WILL YIELD A CHANGE. BUT THERE'S STILL A MATTER OF ARE WE ABLE TO ENFORCE IT? SO UM, IT IS A CHANGE. IT'S NOT GONNA SOLVE EVERYONE'S PROBLEMS ABOUT TRUCKS BECAUSE THERE WILL BE TRUCKS THAT GO ROGUE AND PEOPLE THAT DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES. YOU KNOW THAT HAPPENS IN EVERY YOU KNOW EVERYDAY PART OF LIFE. BUT THERE IS THERE IS EFFORT PUT HERE TO TRY AND MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT. IT'S NOT GONNA BE PERFECT. BUT UM, IT IS AN EFFORT TO MAKE SOMETHING BETTER. AND THERE WAS A STUDY DONE ON THE TONNAGE.

WHAT WHAT TONNAGE IS APPROPRIATE. WHAT'S NOT, UM AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID TALK ABOUT IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICE MEETING. SO UM, I'M APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. BUT UH SO I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT THAT THERE'S A REALITY. IT'S NOT GONNA SOLVE EVERY BAD SITUATION. IT'S NOT GOING TO PREVENT EVERY TRUCK FROM ZOOMING DOWN FIFTH AND RUMBLING YOUR FOUNDATION, BUT IT'S ONE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SO OR KNOCKING A PICTURE OFF YOUR WALL. THANK YOU. SO YOU MADE THE MOTION THEN? TO WAIVE THEIR I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO WAIVE THE THIRD READING, OK, ROLL CALL. MISTER WOLF? YES MR BURBY. MR. BERGER YES, MR HUNTER? YES. MISTER REAMS, MR RAUCH. MR? YES. SIX. YES. DO I HEAR A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION? ANYBODY WANNA I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. ROLL CALL, MR BURBY . MR BERGER? YES, MR HUNTER? YES YES, MR RAUCH. YES, MR.

[COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL PERSONS AND GENERAL DISCUSSION:]

MR. NOTHING THIS EVENING. FIRST FRIDAY NIGHT UP TO IN THE YEAR. IT WAS PROBABLY LIKE FAVORITE EVENTS OF THE YEAR, SO HOPE FOR SOME GOOD WEATHER. I'LL LEAVE THAT BETWEEN DONALD AND BEN GELBERT. SO JUST TO REPEAT YESTERDAY, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS OUT THERE WE THANK YOU AND YOUR IMPORTANT, UM, OTHER THAN THAT, UH UM AGAIN, THE REITERATING THE MESSAGE ABOUT NATIONAL POLICE WEEK JUST APPRECIATE, UH, WHAT THEY DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AND IN VARIOUS COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTRY. IT'S A GREAT THING IT THANKS, COUNCILOR MOON MORTNER.

NOTHING FURTHER. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO REITERATE HARRY'S COMMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS DRIVING OUT THAT WAY TO GET BACK HOME IN MILL VALLEY. AND AFTER WORK TODAY AND SEEING THE LONG LINE OF CARS, UH, STRETCHED OUT ALL THE WAY. I KNOW IT'S UH, TIRE, TIRELESS WORK OR THANKLESS WORK. AND, UM, YOU KNOW, PRETTY TIRING OUT THERE, BUT SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOU DO, AND YOU KNOW, ALL THE POLICE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AROUND THE AREA. COUNCILMAN BURB. OK UM WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UM UH, EXPRESS. THANK YOU TODAY TO, UH, JIM SATAN. YEAH AND IT WAS A CEREMONY VERY NICELY DONE. IT WAS A NICE TURNOUT AND THE MANY YEARS THAT HE'S BEEN A PUBLIC SERVANT AND ESPECIALLY ON THE MEDIC SIDE IS VERY COMMENDABLE AND DEFINITELY SHOUT OUT TO YOUR DEPARTMENT ATTENDANCE AND THE APPRECIATION FOR THE WORK THAT HE HAS DONE. SO IT WAS. I THINK REALLY GOOD DEPARTURE TO ALSO INCLUDE HIS FAMILY IN THERE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT, UM UM IF IT'S IF IT'S A HOLIDAY TO THE CALLS, AND EVERYBODY ELSE MAY CELEBRATE, BUT THEY, UH, CELEBRATED THE STATION. SO UH, VERY NICELY DONE . UH, FURTHER SHOUT OUT. UM I SPEAK. I BELIEVE IT WAS, UM, COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP. LET GRADUATION A WAS NOT AS INVOLVED THIS YEAR AS I WAS PREVIOUSLY BECAUSE, UH, MY SON TOOK THAT

[01:35:02]

NEWCOMERS BUT IT'S A WAY TO ENGAGE OTHER PEOPLE. I KNOW IT'S UH IT'S AN EXPENSE AND IT'S UM NOT ONLY MONETARILY, BUT IT'S AN EXPENSE WITH REGARDS TO TAKING A DAY OFF DOING A MONTH, BUT THE PROGRAMS, UM, THAT THEY HAD WERE VERY RESPECTED AND THE ONE THING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP CLASS IS THAT, UM, UH, YOU GET TO MEET FUTURE LEADERS AND FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END, THE MAJORITY THAT MANY OF THEM HAVE AND THE, UM, THE COMFORT LEVEL THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WITH EACH OTHER IS SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY SHOULD CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE. SO UM, LAST ONE, THEY HAD HIS LITTLE BIT OF A CONCERN. UM HOW? HOW FREQUENTLY DO WE HAVE AN JEREMY? THAT MAY BE A QUESTION FOR YOU AS WELL. HOW FREQUENTLY DO WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU LIKE TO PROVIDE US? DO WE HAVE THEM VERY OFTEN, OR THAT MIGHT EVEN BE A BETTER, UH, QUESTION FOR SAVANNAH. UH, I KNOW WE HAVE SAVANNAH SETS UP AND RUNS MAYBE A QUARTERLY, UH, UTILITY MEETING AS IT RELATES TO WATER AND SEWER, BUT ELECTRIC AND GAS AND SHE HOLDS THAT AT ACTUALLY, WE HAVE IT TOMORROW AT NINE O'CLOCK, SO THAT IS GREAT TIMING. OK SO IT IT'S PART OF, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY AS WE HAVE STARTED TO GET MORE INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT CAPACITY AND JUST KNOWING WHERE PEOPLE ARE YOU KNOW WHERE THE DIFFERENT UTILITIES AND SO WE AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE A QUARTERLY UM, TO JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND ESPECIALLY TALKING ABOUT EASEMENTS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. IF THERE'S THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER OR JUST KNOW ABOUT WHAT OTHER PROJECTS ARE COMING THROUGH THE PIPELINE, SO AND THEN THE MAIN THING IS, ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE BE ABLE TO, UM, PROVIDE IT AT A REASONABLE PRICE? AND THAT'S THE ONE CONCERN THAT WAS EXPRESSED WHEN WE HAD A MEETING. NOT TOO LONG AGO, UH, THAT 20 YEARS AGO WE HAD SUPPLY AND THEN THEY STARTED TO MAP SOME OF THE FACTORIES. NOW WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE WE PRODUCE AS MUCH AS WE NEED. YEAH, BUT RECENTLY THEY OPENED UP A NUCLEAR PLANT SOUTH AND THAT'S A REGION THAT WE ARE IN. AND IT TOOK 20 YEARS BECAUSE BY THE TIME THAT THEY WANTED TO DO IT ALL THE LOBBYISTS THAT CAME YEAH, AND DIDN'T WANT IT. AND THEN THE COAL LOBBY IS THEY CAME IN, AND THEY WANTED IT. AND THEN THE AGAINST LOBBYISTS CAME IN, AND IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT THAT SCALE TO GET SOMETHING DONE.

YEAH BUT, UM, IT IT IT TOOK 20 YEARS TO GET A PLANT UP AND RUNNING. AND, UM, AT FIRST AS DATA CENTERS ARE NOW ASKING FOR ELECTRICITY IT JUST IT IT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT AND HOPEFULLY WHEN YOU HAVE THE MEETING. YEAH, ASK THE POINTED QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO TAKE AND WHERE IS IT GOING TO GO TO? BECAUSE IF WE HAVE TO IMPORT IT, THEN THE CONS IS GOING TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER. YEAH, AND THEY'LL GET ME TO MY LAST ONE BACK IN AUGUST. MOVE TO ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER. AND THE APARTMENT THAT I'M IN HAPPENS TO BE ALL ELECTRIC. OK SO I GOT MY FIRST, UM, BILL, AND IT SAID ON THERE IF YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING CHEAPER THAN 10.8 GO AHEAD AND GO FOR IT. YEAH, BECAUSE ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS THE MONOPOLY THAT YOU'RE PROVIDER. UH, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ELEMENTS IN ELECTRICITY THAT THERE IS THE PRODUCTION AND THEN TO DISTRIBUTION. NOW THE DISTRIBUTION PRICE YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE COST PLACE. YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER AND , UM I WAS BUILT AT, UH, 10.8 PER KILOWATT. WHATEVER THAT MEANS. AND IN LOOKING AROUND, I WAS ABLE TO FIND SOMETHING BELOW SIX CENTS. YEAH NOW, ACTUALLY, I I'VE BEEN GOING AROUND TO ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS. AND AFTER A WHILE, I GOT THE REPUTATION. HEY ARE YOU WORKING FOR THAT PARTICULAR COMPANY? NO, I'M JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU MONEY BECAUSE YOU APART. THESE ALL THE ELECT AND YOU YOU'RE PAYING LITERALLY.

YEAH, LITERALLY 4 $500 MORE PER YEAR BECAUSE YOU DON'T SIGN ON. YEAH YOU JUST TAKE THIS AND YOU

[01:40:02]

I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO LOOK AT YOUR AT YOUR BILL. YEAH AND TO LOOK AT WHAT ARE THEY CHARGING? WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU? YEAH AND, UM UH, IT IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT TO TRY TO MANDATE IN THE CITY TO DO THAT. BUT I, I FEEL THAT ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF THE OLDER GENERATIONS. IF THEY'RE NOT IN TUNE WITH THIS BEING SACRIFICED, UM AND IT, IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT AN UNREASONABLE BEING THAT, UM IT'S NOT THAT THEY PURPOSELY TAKE MONEY AWAY, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE THAT EDUCATION ELEMENT THAT ESPECIALLY, UM, ALL THE PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE OTHER SERVICES AVAILABLE OR AFRAID TO MAKE THAT PHONE CALL. YOU JUST HATE TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY HAVING TO PAY A HIGHER ELECTRIC PRICE. AND THE OPTION THERE IS, IS, UH, POTENTIALLY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO BECOME AN AGGREGATOR AND NEGOTIATE THAT ON BEHALF OF ALL ITS CITIZENS, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN DO THAT. HOWEVER YOU KNOW YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT. BECAUSE SOMETIMES IF YOU AGGREGATE FOR THE CITIZENS AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE BEST PRICE THAT YOU'VE LOCKED INTO, THEN A CITIZEN MAY SAY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME? YOU'RE MAKING ME PAY A HIGHER PRICE THAN WHAT I CAN OBTAIN. MYSELF SO IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS. YOU GOT TO BE VERY I. I AGREE WITH YOU PEOPLE ARE GETTING STUFF IN THE MAIL ALL THE TIME. THAT MAY GIVE THEM AN OPTION AND THEY SHOULD AS AN INDIVIDUAL, CONSIDER THAT OPTION OR MAKE SOME PHONE CALLS TO DETERMINE WHAT THEY CAN DO. I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT MAYBE GOVERNMENT GETS INVOLVED IN ENOUGH ALREADY THAN TO ATTEMPT TO BECOME AN AGGREGATOR FOR ITS CITIZENS.

ELECTRIC OR GAS OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE SO, BUT YOU RAISE A GOOD POINT PUBLIC EDUCATION PEOPLE AS YOU RECEIVE THOSE ITEMS IN THE MAIL LOOK AT THEM, AND THEY MAY GIVE YOU AN OPTION TO LOWER YOUR PRICE A LITTLE BIT. AND BY THE WAY, UM, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE, UM UM 30 REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE USE FOR THE CITY HAPPENS TO LIVE. UM UM IN ON THE SAME STREET WHERE MY DAUGHTER USED TO LIVE, AND WE HAVE A RATE FOR THE CITY THAT I DID OVER, BELIEVE ME, WE HAVE TO. WE REALLY HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF A OPPORTUNITY THAT THAT THEY MAKE AVAILABLE FOR US.

WE DO UTILIZE THAT FOR OUR CITY FAC. AND WE'RE WE'RE HUGE USERS AT THE SAME TIME SO BUT WE'VE TOOK A STEP BACK ON NEGOTIATING THAT ON BEHALF OF OUR CITIZENS, BUT STILL THE EDUCATION PART SHOULD ALWAYS BE THERE. YEAH, BECAUSE, UM, IF PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS, THE PAYING WAY MORE THAN WHAT THEY NEED TO PAY, SO UM, THING I THANK YOU, SIR. YOU'RE WELCOME. LEAVE IT UP TO VICE PRESIDENT BLEY. TRY TO SAVE A RESIDENT OF A DOLLAR. YOU KNOW IF HE CAN THANK YOU, IF YOU CAN SERIOUSLY UM, SO THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THAT IN MR EMERY DID TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS, BUT, UM, RECENTLY WHEN WE PASSED OUR FEES THE FEES HAD CHANGED. AND BECAUSE OF THIS, UM THE SCHOOLS ARE NOW PAYING FOR AN AMBULANCE AND, UH, SOMETHING THAT THEY HAD NOT PAID FOR IN THE PAST. AND UM, I THINK AND WELL, I BELIEVE THAT TO CONTINUE TO BE GOOD COMMUNITY PARTNERS, SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE UNAWARE OF THE RATE CHANGE THE SAME THE IN AND IN THE SAME CONVERSATION.

WE AS A COUNCIL WERE USED TO. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF MID YEAR WE DID NOT BUDGET SO WE CAN'T DO IT. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THAT SHOULD APPLY TO OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. AND UM, I THINK THAT I WOULD ASK THAT WE WAIVE THAT FEE FOR THIS YEAR AND BRING THAT UP IN THE TOPICS OF THE OF THE SCHOOL TALKS WITH COUNCIL MEMBER REAMS AND COUNCIL MEMBER HUNTER AND TALK ABOUT THOSE FEES AT THE NEXT MEETING AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO, UM, YOU KNOW CONTINUE TO, YOU KNOW, FIGURE OUT JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE FEES JUST TO BE CLEAR. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AMBULANCE AT A FOOTBALL GAME OR OR A GRADUATION OR IT COULD BE. IT COULD BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT REQUESTS THAT TAKE PLACE IN A CITY COUNCIL WANTS TO AUTHORIZE THAT THAT THAT'S NO PROBLEM. ONE OF THE CONCERNS AND I WILL STATE THIS WE WE'RE DOING THINGS THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ALL

[01:45:02]

THE SCHOOLS AREN'T REPRESENTED AT LEAST ONE COUNCIL MEETING A MONTH AND I I'VE ALWAYS SAID, YOU KNOW, WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON AT OUR MEETINGS. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR US TO NECESSARILY REGISTER IN OUR OWN MIND. WE NEED TO NOTIFY THIS OR THAT GROUP OR WHATEVER THE GROUP IS.

IT'S IT COULD GET REALLY VERY DIFFICULT. UM I WOULD SUGGEST THAT MAYBE WE APPROACH THE SCHOOLS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A REP HERE AT CITY COUNCIL ONCE A MONTH BECAUSE THEY'LL CATCH LEGISLATION. UM AS IT'S GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, AND THEN WE CAN GET A SCHOOL UPDATE AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN IN OTHER PLACES THAT I KNOW I'VE BEEN, AND SO JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. I MEAN, IF YOU GUYS DECIDE YOU WANT TO WAIVE A CERTAIN FEE, WELL, THERE'S A PROCESS WE WOULD GO THROUGH THAT WHERE WE WOULD DELIBERATE IT. IT WOULDN'T COME FROM THE PRESIDENT IN CLOSING COMMENTS AT A MEETING THAT'S NOT HOW THAT GETS DONE.

THAT MIGHT BE YOUR FEELING. BUT BRING LEGISLATION THAT SAYS WE'RE GOING TO WAIVE THE FEE.

WE'LL NEGOTIATE. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. WE'LL DELIBERATE AND VOTE ON IT. YOU DON'T JUST SAY IT IN YOUR CLOSING COMMENTS. I WANT THIS DONE. YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY. YOU'RE ONE OF SEVEN.

SO I'LL WRITE UP LEGISLATION IF ANYBODY WANTS A CO COSIGN IT FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. UM WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. I THINK IT I THINK TO CONTINUE OUR RELATIONSHIP AS BEING GOOD PARTNERS. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD WAIVE THE FEE FOR THIS YEAR SINCE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY DID NOT ACCEPT. UH, YOU KNOW, DID NOT, YOU KNOW, PUT IN THEIR BUDGET. AND THEN IF AND THEN YOU TOO. ON THE BEHALF OF THE SCHOOLS CAN TALK ABOUT THAT ISSUE FOR, YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE I IN FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY. I DO BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT INTO THEIR BUDGET TO PAY FOR. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GONNA BE FOREVER, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR. IT'S JUST THIS YEAR. MAYBE WE WAIVE IT. AND UM, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE JUST BRING THAT INTO OUR DISCUSSION, MEETINGS OR ITEMS. SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S ALL I THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING SO I WILL TIM WRITE UP LEGISLATION. LIKE WHEN I TALKED WITH THE SCHOOL IN OUR COMMUNITY FIRST TALK ABOUT THIS. THAT'S FINE. WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE ESTABLISHED OK. OK? THE NEXT MEETING WITH THE SCHOOLS WILL BE A JOINT MEETING WITH THE FULL SCHOOL BOARD AND THE FULL CITY COUNCIL, WHICH WOULD BE THE NEXT MEETING, WHICH IS JUNE. 17TH IS MY MEMORY. GOOD I THINK IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO WE COULD HAVE THAT DISCUSSION THERE. BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT VARIABLES HERE FROM BOTH SIDES. AND SO IF YOU IF YOU WAIVE THAT ASPECT, THEN THERE COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE'RE NOT CONSIDERING THAT SHOULD THAT BE. FOR AN END TO THAT, INSTEAD OF JUST PICKING ONE AREA. SO DO I HEAR A MOTION TO A SO MOVED ALL IN FAVOR.
