APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. OUR SECOND ITEM OF THE EVENING IS PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES

Public Works & Utilities Quarterly Report

ONE 1,927,830. OF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT AMOUNT OF ALMOST $2.3 MILLION. UM WE'RE GETTING VERY CLOSE TO GETTING THAT PROJECT FINISHED OTHER THAN THE CHANGE ORDERS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST MONTH. SEMINAL DRIVE AND MAGNOLIA GENERATOR PROJECT. WE ALSO SPOKE ABOUT THAT. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I MET WITH THE ENGINEER ON FRIDAY TO GO OVER THE PLANTS WERE ABOUT 60% DONE WITH THE PLANS SO FAR, IT LOOKS GOOD. HOPEFULLY WHEN WE GET IT DONE, IT'S GOING TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS OF, YOU KNOW, GETTING THE WATER OFF THE STREETS AND OUT OF PEOPLE'S FRONT YARDS OVER THERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND ALSO, AS PART OF THAT PROJECT, WE'RE GOING TO HARDEN THE, UH, MAGNOLIA LIFT STATION WITH THE GENERATOR. HMM. EXCUSE ME. THAT'S PART OF THIS REPORT. UH IT'S A QUARTERLY REPORT, BUT I'VE BEEN HERE A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR. SO WHAT I THOUGHT I'D DO IS GO OVER SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE LAST YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. IT STARTED. ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECTS THAT WE DID WAS REPLACED TO THE HIGH SERVICE PUMPS AT THE WATER PLANT. RECENTLY WE WORKED ON A COUPLE OF FIRE HYDRANTS. ONE WAS OVER

[00:05:03]

THEY DRILL THERE VERY OFTEN. IT'S NOT GOOD IF THE FIREFIGHTER DOESN'T WORK AT THE FIRE STATION, SO WE FIXED THAT AS WELL. IT ALSO GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND START BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP. WE ALSO REPLACED MULTIPLE VALVES THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. UH MOSTLY BOOKER PARK AS WE RAN INTO PROJECTS OVER THERE , WE FOUND VALVES. IT DIDN'T WORK WHEN YOU HAVE WHEN YOU WANT TO WORK ON THE WATER LINE NEED TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE WATER.

THAT'S WHERE THE VALVES COME IN. SO AS WE'VE ENCOUNTERED THESE VALVES WE'VE BEEN REPLACING THEM. MORE RECENTLY, WE PUT INTO NEW WELL PUMPS WANTED WELL, NUMBER EIGHT AND WHEN IT WILL NUMBER THREE, UH, BOTH THE FAILURE. OR WATER METERS. WE'VE REPLACED ROUGHLY 120 RADIO READ OR METERS WITH RADIO READ. THE GOAL THERE IS TO BECOME MORE ACCURATE WITH OUR WATER METER READING. UM IN THE FUTURE, WE WON'T HAVE TO SEND OUT GUYS AND PHYSICALLY READ THEM AS PART OF THAT. WE PURCHASED TWO NEW TABLETS. WHEN I GOT HERE, WE HAD TWO TABLETS. SO IT WAS 22 GUYS COULD READ THE WATER METERS AND THAT WAS IT. WE NOW CAN SEND FOUR GUYS OUT, GET IT DONE MORE EFFICIENTLY. AND THE BIGGEST THING IS MORE ACCURATELY SO THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING TO GO BACK INTO REREADS OR HAVE PEOPLE TO GET BILLS THAT AREN'T ACCURATE HIGHER THAN THEY SHOULD BE.

WE'VE ALSO PURCHASED TWO NEW FORD 1 50 TRUCKS. WE JUST RECENTLY OVER ON, UH OVER BOOKER PARK WHERE THE SEMINAL JUNCTION PROJECT IS. WE FOUND A WATER LINE THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF THEIR RETENTION PONDS. SO WE WORKED WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO REMOVE THAT BECAUSE IT WAS AN UNUSED WATERLINE ANYWAY. WE ALSO HAVE TO MAKE SOME EMERGENCY REPAIRS AT THE GENERATOR TO WATER PLANT. GENERAL CLEAN UP AND THEN ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT, THAT IS A FLUSHER. WHEN I GOT HERE A YEAR AGO. THERE WAS FIVE OF THEM IN THE SYSTEM, I BELIEVE, AND ONLY TWO OF THEM WORKED. WE NOW HAVE FIVE WORKING FLASHERS IN THE SYSTEM. AND WE'RE ALSO INSTALLING TWO NEW ONES. THE REASON FOR THE FLASHERS IS TO KEEP THE WATER MOVING. IT KEEPS WATER FRESH. IT ALSO HELPS WITH CORONARY RESIDUAL SO THAT HOPEFULLY WE DON'T HAVE BOIL WATER NOTICES IN THE FUTURE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. LIKE I SAID. THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS A FLUSHER AS IT'S WORKING. THE SECOND PICTURE OVER IS ONE OF THE WELL PUMPS BEING WORKED ON. THIRD PICTURE IS A RENTAL GENERATOR. WE GOT INTO A SITUATION WHERE THE GENERATOR FAILED. THANKFULLY, IT WAS AFTER THE HURRICANE. BUT IT'S STILL AN EMERGENCY. IF WE HAD LOST POWER , WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT WATER INTO THE SYSTEM. SO THAT'S WHY WE HAD THAT RENTAL GENERATOR THERE AND OVER ON THE RIGHT IS ONE OF THE NEW HI SERVICE PUMPS.

OR RUN A WASTEWATER SIDE. WE'VE BEEN BUSY THERE AS WELL. THREE OF THE LIFT STATIONS. WE REPLACED TWO PUMPS EACH THROUGH THE FAILURES. JEFFERSON LIFT STATION WERE REPLACED A PUMP FAILURE. THERE'S A THEME THERE. OVER THE ANYONE LEFT STATION IN THE FRONT LIFT STATION, WHICH IS CLOSE TO 7 10. WE ALSO REPLACED THE PUMP. AND THEN WE REPLACE OR FIXED THE FORCE MAIN OVER IN JEFFERSON STREET. DUE TO A LEAK. ALONG WITH SOME OF THE PUMPS THAT WE'VE BEEN REPLACING. WE PUT TWO NEW CONTROL PANELS IN ONE OVER TO LINCOLN LIFT STATION AND ONE AT THE END, HE WOULD BACK LIFT STATION. THE INDIAN TOWN MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFT STATION WHEN I GOT HERE WAS NOT OPERATING. WE HAD A WE HAD A PUMP THAT WE BORROWED FROM THE COUNTY. THERE HAD BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE. AND, UH, THE LIFT STATION WASN'T OPERATING. WE WORKED ON THAT IN HOUSE, PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND WE NOW HAVE TWO PUMPS THAT ARE OPERATING AS THEY SHOULD AT THAT LIFT STATION. WE ALSO HAVE A LESS STATION AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT THAT WE HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE WORK, TOO, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. AND THEN A COUPLE OF ITEMS ON THE BOTTOM. THAT NEW CRANE TRUCK THAT YOU GRACIOUSLY LET US PURCHASE. WE PUT THAT THING TO WORK DAY ONE, AND IT'S BEEN WORKING EVERY DAY SINCE WE GOT IT. WE ALSO HAVE A NEW VEK VAC JETER TRAILER THAT WE TALKED ABOUT A WHILE AGO. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES YOU'LL SEE. I'LL EXPLAIN WHAT ALL THAT IS.

PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS A NEW CHECK VALVE AT THE INDIAN TOWN MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE GUYS DID THAT HERE IN HOUSE. WE DIDN'T CALL CONTRACTOR. 2ND 3RD PICTURES ARE A MANHOLE OVER BY THE POST

[00:10:04]

THANK YOU YET. UH, IT'S THE CREW. I'M ONLY PART OF A TEAM. IT'S MYSELF AND THE GENTLEMAN WHO WORKED FOR ME. SO IT'S A TEAM EFFORT FOR SURE. AND LET ME PIGGYBACK ON THAT. YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB. I HEAR IT FROM THE PUBLIC. UM QUITE OFTEN . UM BUT I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE BOOK APART PROJECT. I KNOW THAT WE'RE GETTING TO THE END OF IT, AND THEY'RE AND THEY'RE ACCOMPLISHING A LOT. UM, MY QUESTION IS JUST TODAY. I'VE HAD SEVERAL, UM COMMENTS. UM, CONCERNS WITH ROAD CLOSURES. I KNOW THAT I WAS WAITING ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR FOR A BUS FROM PERKINS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET AROUND. I HEARD FROM SOME RESIDENTS OVER THERE. YOU KNOW, ASKING ME, UM THEY COULDN'T GET TO THEIR HOUSE. THEY WENT TO THE STORE, AND THEY HAD GROCERIES AND ROADS WERE CLOSED AND THEY COULDN'T EVEN GET TO THEIR HOUSE. AND THEY'RE LIKE, I'M I CAN'T PACK THIS STUFF IN. YOU KNOW, WHEN IS THIS LEAST THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME WAY THAT I COULD GET TO MY HOUSE. SO I'M MOVING FORWARD. MAYBE THOSE ISSUES SHOULD BE. CONSIDERED WHEN THEY'RE CLOSING THE ROADS BECAUSE I DON'T HOPEFULLY THEY'RE OPEN THIS EVENING.

OVERNIGHT THAT THEY'RE OPEN AND THEY JUST DO IT DURING THE DAY WHEN THEY'RE WORKING IN CLOSING IT TO WORK ON THE SIDEWALKS, THE SIDEWALK CONTRACTORS IN THERE AND IF YOU DON'T STAY WITH THE SIDEWALK, PEOPLE WALK THROUGH THEM OR WRITE THINGS IN THEM. SO THAT'S PROBABLY PART OF IT, BUT WE HAVE MEETINGS EVERY TWO WEEKS WITH THE CONTRACTOR. I'LL BE WITH THE CONTRACTOR TOMORROW MORNING SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT. GREAT. THAT IS THAT IS A CONCERN THAT I'M HEARING.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANYTHING? OKAY? WE

GREAT STUFF DONE. THEN IT ENDS UP BEING WHAT IT WOULD BE, AND THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE PACKAGE.

THE ACTUAL SURVEY THAT WAS DONE AND IT'S LARGER THAN THE 0.16. UM THAT ENCROACHMENT THAT WE SHOWED YOU BACK LAST YEAR. SO IT GREW TO WHAT I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S ONE IT'S 0.9 ON ONE ON ONE OF THE SLIVERS AND THAT TRIANGULAR PIECE IT'S LIKE 0.3. 343 TO 4. JUST LIKE ONE POINT SOMETHING BUT THESE ARE IRREGULARLY SHAPED PIECES THAT KIND OF SQUARE HIS PIECE OFF SOO 1.2. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. OKAY? DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? I'M GOING TO START WITH DISCUSSION FIRST. OKAY, I'LL START. UM I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD SELL THEM. SORRY. HE HAD HIS. OH HE HE WHIPPED OUT WHAT? I'M TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION HERE. OKAY, SO FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC AND THE COUNCIL THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY MY LANDLORD. SO I'M GONNA RECRUITS MYSELF FROM VOTING ON THIS, HOWEVER. I MEAN, THIS IS A SITUATION THAT BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR AND WE ALSO DID GIVE HIM APPROVAL TO GO AHEAD AND GET THE SURVEY DONE AS FAR AS SPENDING MONEY TOWARDS THIS SO THAT'S JUST MY PART OF IT. I'M GOING TO BASICALLY TRY TO STAY OUT OF IT AS MUCH AS I CAN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. OKAY I'M SORRY. COUNCIL MEMBER APOLLO. WELL. THAT PROPERTY IS A PROPERTY THAT OUR WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS ON. AND WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING THINGS ON THAT WATER TREATMENT PLANT PROPERTY. UM. WE HAVE THE PROPERTY. TO SELL IT AND NOT HAVE IT AND THEN REALIZE A YEAR OR TWO OR THREE DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE MADE A BIG MISTAKE, AND WE NEED THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. WOULD BE SAD. ESPECIALLY WHERE WE'RE LANDLOCKED. WE'RE LANDLOCKED ON ALL SIDES OF THAT PROPERTY. UM. I UNDERSTAND THAT HE NEEDS THE PROPERTY TO PARK HIS VEHICLES OR WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO DO. AND I WOULD NOT BE OPPOSED TO LEASING HIM THAT PROPERTY. LETTING HIM USE THAT PROPERTY AS LONG AS HE HAS PROPER INSURANCE. SO THAT THE VILLAGE THERE'S NOT BECOME LIABLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO HIS PEOPLE OR HIS EQUIPMENT THAT'S ON OUR PROPERTY. UM. I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY WANTS TO PLANT IS COMPLETE, AND OUR PROJECT IS FINISHED AND DONE , THEN WE WANT TO REVISIT IT.

THEN THAT'S FINE. BUT UNTIL THAT THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PUTTING A BUILDING ON THAT ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY ALSO A MAINTENANCE SHED. HANGER TYPE TYPE BUILDING.

WHERE WE CAN PUT OUR EQUIPMENT. IMPORT CHEMICALS. ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO STORE. UM IT'LL BE IT'LL BE SAD IF WE SOLD A PIECE OF LAND AND THEN WE COULDN'T MEET OUR OWN. SPECIFICATIONS. SO I THINK WE OUGHT TO. TRYING TO HELP THE GUY TO PARK VEHICLES HERE IF HE WANTS TO, BUT TO SELL IT, NO. MADAM MAYOR, IF I MEAN I THINK THEY'RE HERE. OKAY? DO YOU STILL WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? YOU STILL GOT YOUR WELL, I MEAN, BASICALLY. I'M TRYING TO STAY OUT OF IT. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S JUST LITERALLY STRAIGHTENING THE LINE. IT'S NOT TRYING TO RESTRAIN THE OTHER WAY. YEAH I LIKE TO JUST MAKE ONE STATEMENT BECAUSE I THINK I WASN'T CLEAR WE DID LOOK AT FLORIDA APARTMENT ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION. WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THEM ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DID SELL THE PROPERTY AND WE ALSO CONSULTED HOLDS ENGINEERING, WHICH IS OUR SANITARY SORT ENGINEERS TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THE COUNCIL WENT FORWARD WITH THIS DISPOSITION THAT IT WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SANITY OF THE SOLAR PLANTS, SO I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD. OKAY. THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN IMPRESSED YOU HAVING THINK WE SHOULD KEEP IT UNTIL WE'RE DONE WITH WHAT WE HAVE TO DO OUT THERE. LIKE LIKE LIKE, CARMINE SAID. WE'RE LANDLOCKED. ARE WE GOING TO GET MORE PROPERTY AND WE NEED IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU THERE. YES SIR. YOU GOTTA FOLLOW UP. SPEAK. YES,

[00:50:08]

THEY DID FOR NOTHING. YES. WELL, OKAY. WHO ARE THEY? IT HOLDS ENGINEERING. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT THEY RECEIVED. THE, UM. THE CONTRACT THROUGH THE CC AND A PROCESS SO WE'VE BEEN USING THEM SINCE WE DID THE CCN, A PROCESS WHICH IS WHEN WE PUT OUT THE BED, SO THEY WORK FOR US. THEY WORK FOR US PAYING THEM. WE DO PAY THEM. WE DO PAY, OKAY? AND HOW DO WE PAY THEM BY THE JOB THAT THEY DO, OR PER PROJECT AND PER WORK AUTHORIZATION, BUT THIS PARTICULAR THING WAS WE CONSULTED WITH THEM BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE DOING THE DESIGN ON THE SUIT SEWER PLANT, SO WE CONSULTED WITH THEM. TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE WOULD DO WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH IF THE COUNCIL DECIDED TO BUY THE PROPERTY SELL THE PROPERTY WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLANT, RIGHT? OKAY? UM MY QUESTION IS AND I WISH WE HAD GRAPHICS UP HERE SO WE CAN LOOK AT IT. UM WHEN THIS HAS BEEN A LONG A LONG PROCESS. AND WHEN IT STARTED, IT STARTED AS A 0.16 ACRES JUST IN THAT ENCROACHMENT AREA AND IT AND IT BASICALLY, UM SQUARED OFF. THAT LITTLE PIECE SO IT WAS BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SQUARING OFF. WELL, THAT LITTLE PIECE THAT ORIGINAL REQUEST OR OR TALK ABOUT THAT POINT KIND OF TOOK CARE OF THAT AND DID SQUARE IT OFF. UM MY QUESTION IS THAT WHEN HE PAID FOR SURVEYS HOW DID IT GROW FROM THE 0.16, AND HE HAD IT SURVEYED AT 1.2 TO 4? I MEAN, WHY DIDN'T HE JUST PAY FOR THE AGREED THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT. AND WAS THAT EVEN SURVEYED THAT LITTLE PIECE THAT WE ORIGINALLY LOOKED AT? HOW DID IT GROW TO ONE POINT 2 TO 4. WELL HE'S HE'S HERE AND HE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT. UM WHAT WE PRESENTED THE COUNCIL WAS THE ENCROACHMENT OF THE PERSONAL PROPERTY RIGHT? THE ENCROACHMENT WAS RIGHT, WHICH IS WHAT YOU JUST SAID. IT'S ABOUT SIX. YEAH, WAS THAT SURVEYED? WAS THAT SURVEY. YOU CAN ASK HIM. HE'S HERE TONIGHT. WHAT? HOW GOOD EVENING. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. HOW YOU DOING? GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. YEAH. THIS SURVIVE, PLEASE. STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, SIR. MY NAME IS JOSE CARPET. HOW IS PROPERTY? OKAY YEAH. YEAH SPEAK INTO THE MIKE.

IF YOU COULD PLEASE. AND IF THE OLD GREEN LIGHT IS ON, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. YEAH I AM THE ORDER OF THE NEXT PROPERTY. YES. WHEN THEY WILL MAKE THE DISORDER VERY OLD. MY WE'RE GOING A LITTLE MORE BACK. YOU GUYS LOOK AT THE PROPERTY AND THE SEA TOGETHER PROBLEMS. DATE, AND THEN THEY COME IN TO ME AND SAY PART OF PROPERTY. WHATEVER THEY GOT. DEFENSE HAS BELONGED TO THE SERIES. BACK WHEN THEY'RE MAKING MY INVESTIGATIONS. THEY'RE NOT BEING PREVIOUSLY REBATE. MY PROPERTY TO SAY 3.5. WHEN I MAKE INVESTIGATION, BELIEVE VERY STRONG, THIS LITTLE PROPERTY AND THIS PROTEST. UM BECAUSE IN YOUR SIDE, THE SONG WITH THE 3.2 03 THE DIFFERENCE. BUT ACCORDING TO MY SURVEY, MY PROFIT IS 30.5. AND THIS IS THE PROPER WE'RE ABOUT PAYING TAXES FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS LIKE THAT, NOW, MY PROPERTY, THE COMMENT 3.2. WHEN THEY COME IN THIS SPORT. LET'S GO FIX IT BEFORE THE STUDY, AND THIS PUT WE PUT ONE LINE BECAUSE THIS THIS PART OF THE PROPERTY THIS YOU KNOW THIS ONE LAW TWO DIFFERENT LAWS. LET'S INVITE ONE LINE AND MAKE A PROPOSAL TO THE SERIES TO THEM. MR POWER IS WE CAN DO IT LIKE THAT. WE MAKE TWO SURVEYS TO MUCH BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA STRAIN IT OUT THERE THE LINE AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE IN THE PICTURE RIGHT THERE, RIGHT, RIGHT. NO. WHERE'S THE OTHER IS? THERE IS THERE IS THERE IS DARREN IS THERE ANOTHER ONE THAT SHOWED THE ORIGINAL LITTLE THE ORIGINAL LITTLE DISCUSSION THERE RIGHT IN THAT CURVE THERE. IT'S NOT ON THIS AGENDA. WHAT I PUT THIS AGENDA ITEM TOGETHER. I WENT HUNTING BACK IN THE OLD ONES, AND ON ON THE OLD ONE, IT WAS DARREN. IT'S WORTH PULLING UP. MAYBE USEFUL.

[00:55:02]

I'VE GOT IT UP HERE. UM YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT UP AND THIS IS NOT WHAT DARREN'S GOING TO BRING UP HIS NOT A SURVEY. OKAY RIGHT FORMAL SURVEY, BUT IT IS BASICALLY A SKETCH OVER THE PROPERTY APPRAISER AERIAL ABLE TO SEE WHAT'S SHOWN THERE. AND THAT WAS THAT THAT WAS WHAT WAS PROPOSED. WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT ENCROACHMENT. WELL THAT'S WHAT WE PRESENTED TO SHOW WHY WE WERE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS RIGHT? OKAY. OKAY YOU CAN FIND IT. TAKE A MOMENT. OKAY? BUT BUT THERE IS WHAT MEETING WAS THAT? WAITING ON AUGUST 19TH. 21 THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. SO THAT'S THAT'S MY QUESTION. HOW DID IT GO FROM THAT? JUST FIXING THAT. YOU KNOW, JUST THAT ONE POINT AT THAT 1.0.16 ACRES JUST GETTING BACK TO FIX THAT ENCROACHMENT ALL THE WAY TO OVER AN ACRE, ALMOST AN ACRE AND A QUARTER BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY GOT THE LOST ONE THAT WE SEE THE SURVEY TOO MANY LAWS EMERGING OVER THERE. AND THIS PIECE OF CORNER AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD COME IN THE IDEA WITH PUT THE STRAIGHT LINE IS EVEN EASIER FOR THE SURVEY TO JUST GO AHEAD AND DO IT THAT WAY FOR THE CEREAL FOR EVERYBODY THAT WE BUILT THIS MUCH QUESTION. THERE'S A STRAIGHT LINE. THAT WAY YOU GUYS TO BE A STRING ON THE LINE ONE PIECE OF YOUR SECURE OVER THERE AND THEN I GOT MY FANS. ACCORDING TO MY FRIENDS, I GOT THREE OF 3.5. ACCORDING TO MY SURVEY. YOU GUYS COME IN. THEY SAY OH, YEAH, THIS PART YOU ARE LITTLE BIT THINGS, MY PROPERTY COMING IN LITTLE ANGER, THEN THEY'RE COMING BACK AGAIN COMING FROM ME. PLEASE CLARIFICATIONS.

GOOD YEAH, I THINK WHAT HE'S TRYING TO SAY IS BASICALLY HIS SURVEY IS SAYING HE HAD MORE PROPERTY THAN WHAT THIS CITY IS SAYING HE HAVE BUT THE CITY SURVEY IS SAYING THAT HE'S ENCROACHING ON THE CITY'S PROPERTY. SO BASICALLY IT'S CONFLICTING. OKAY IN THAT IN THAT CASE, MR VOS, WHICH SURVEY WINS OUT SO, AS YOU ALL KNOW, I WAS DEEPLY INVOLVED IN IN EVERY PIECE ON THE WATER AND SEWER ACQUISITION, INCLUDING ALL THE REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION, AND THIS ENCROACHMENT WAS IDENTIFIED WHEN ALL THE SURVEY WORK WAS DONE ON ALL THE PROPERTY AND WE WENT OVER AND DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECKED ALL THE PIECES HERE. OUR SURVEY AND THE FROM EVERYTHING I SAW. OUR SURVEY SHOWING THIS LINES UP WITH WHAT THE PROPERTY OR HAD PROPERTY APPRAISER HAS AND IS ACCURATE. OKAY, SO UM. SO ULTIMATELY WE'VE GOT THIS ENCROACHMENT OF PRIMARILY PERSONAL PROPERTY. THERE'S ALSO A FENCE RUNNING THERE AND SO ON. SO THAT'S THAT'S AN ISSUE YOU IDENTIFY. IT DOESN'T BLOW UP A DEAL. NECESSARILY UNLESS YOU HAVE A BUILDING IN APPROACHING THE WRONG DIRECTION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. UM AND WE ACTUALLY DISCUSSED IT AND WENT AROUND WHEN WE FOUND THAT MINOR ISSUE HERE. UM, BUT. YEAH WHEN? WHEN WE TOOK A LOOK AT IT. WE BELIEVE THE SURVEY THAT WE HAVE, AND THE PROPERTY DESCRIPTION DESCRIBES WHAT IS CONTEMPLATED AND THAT IT'S AN ENCOURAGEMENT. OKAY? WERE YOU ABLE TO PULL THAT UP THERE LOADING US LARGE FILE ME A MINUTE. THANK YOU. SO SO MY QUESTION IS, IT'S AN ENCROACHMENT OF 0.16. 0.16 ACRES . 0.16 ACRES, OKAY, AND THAT ENCROACHMENT HARMS THE VILLAGE. HOW. I MEAN, WHAT? WHAT IS IT CAN CAN WE JUST GET A NON MONETARY AGREEMENT THAT THAT'S ALLOWABLE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE NEED THAT FOR SOMETHING? WE CERTAINLY COULD. ABSOLUTELY YEAH. NO THAT WOULD BE I MEAN TO MEMBERS POINT AS WELL. IT'S CERTAINLY AVAILABLE TO THE COUNCIL AS AN OPTION. THAT'S DEFACTO. WHAT WE'VE WHAT HAS PROCEEDED SINCE WE'VE TAKEN TITLE TO IT. UM, BUT CERTAINLY SOMETHING EVEN MORE FORMAL, UM COULD BE DONE TO ALLOW HIM TO CONTINUE TO USE THAT. THAT PIECE WHERE IT IS. BASICALLY UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IT IS NEEDED FOR SOMETHING ELSE EITHER CHANGES HIS MIND OR NEEDS IT FOR SOMETHING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I HAVE IT UP FOR LEGIT, TONY RIGHT THERE. YEAH, YEAH. JUST HIT MY PROPERTIES FENCE AND WHATEVER THIS TRIAL IS LITTLE

[01:00:06]

THIS IS THE 0.16 ACRES WE WERE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE. NO. NO, ACTUALLY THAT PART OF THIS THERE WE SAY THIS THAT THIS AGREEMENT THIS IS THE THAT PART IS ZERO POON. 0.3 THEY ARE OKAY , SO THIS LITTLE YES. YES MM HMM. NOT 0.16. THIS POINT. THIS SYRUP POINT. BECAUSE MY PROPERTY , SAYS 3.5 THE SEAT OF THE SAY THIS DEEP 0.2. THE DIFFERENCE IS 3.3 ACCURACY. THAT'S DOD SURVEY GRADE ACCURACY. YEAH I COULDN'T. I COULDN'T SPEAK TO THE I COULDN'T SPEAK TO THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY THAT THAT YOUR SURVEY SAID YOU HAD AND HEAVEN KNOWS WHERE. WHERE THAT THAT. PEACE COMES IN AND WHAT THEY MAPPED OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS. UM THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAD IN THE AGENDA ITEM BACK FROM 2021 WAS PUTTING THAT AMOUNT AGAIN. NOT AS A SURVEYED AMOUNT, BUT IT CALCULATED AMOUNT OF 20210.16. OKAY ACRES. OKAY AND I DID JUST DOUBLE CHECK ON THE PROPERTY PRESIDENT SITE. THE. THIS WAS A SPECULATION. ALRIGHT THAT THE SURVEYOR WHO HAD WON MANY ISSUES . WE SPENT MANY HOURS SHE AND I TALKING THROUGH ALL OF THIS, AND THE SPECULATION WAS WITH RESPECT TO HOW THAT HOW THE FENCE GOT PUT IN THERE. ALRIGHT FOLKS WHO PUT UP FENCES THEY LIKE TO GO IN STRAIGHT LINES. THE ACTUAL PROPERTY LINE HERE IS VERY MUCH , NOT A STRAIGHT LINE. VERY UGLY CURVE. AND I SAY, UGLY FROM ILLEGAL DESCRIPTION STANDPOINT IT IT FOLLOWS ONE ARC, AND THEN IT FOLLOWS A DIFFERENT ARC. IT'S IT WAS CRAZY, BUT, UM THEY LIKE TO FOLLOW STRAIGHT LINES, AND I THINK THEY JUST SHOT THE LINE STRAIGHT, AND IT SHOT THE LINE STRAIGHT FROM WHERE OTHER PIECES OF IT WERE, UM BUT I JUST TOOK A LOOK ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS G I S SYSTEM AND THAT ART PIECE . THAT ROUND PIECE IS ENCOMPASSED WITHIN THE VILLAGES, PROPERTY. ON SHOWING ON THERE, AND IT ALSO IS ENCOMPASSED IN OUR SURVEYS, OKAY? WELL ALL THIS MAY BE A MOOT POINT DO WE HAVE DO WE HAVE EMOTION? FOR, UM. FOR THIS ITEM. MOTION TO DENY. DO WE HAVE TO HAVE EMOTION LIKE THAT? I'D RECOMMEND THAT JUST JUST BE NO MOTION. YEAH. SO DO I HEAR HERE AND YOU'RE RECUSED YOURSELF. OKAY SO WE DON'T HAVE EMOTION. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORK WITH A VILLAGE AND COME UP WITH A I SAY AN MOU A MEMORANDUM OF YEAH LICENSE AGREEMENT IN ORDER. TO, UM TO USE THAT PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, UM RATHER THAN BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM THIS COUNCIL IS, UH IS EAGER TO GET RID OF GET RID OF OR TO SELL THAT PROPERTY SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE US TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT THAT THAT THERE'S NOT AN ISSUE WITH HIM.

Consideration and Approval of Funding Requests and 2023 Legislative Priorities

[01:15:08]

THAT PRESENTS PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE RIGHT AWAY WITH THE RAILROAD SO WE LOOKED AT REROUTING IT.

THE OTHER PART OF IT IS IT'S 100 YEAR OLD MAIN IT'S OLD. AND IT'S ALSO UNDERSIZED. EVEN WITH THE PRESIDENT POPULATION THAT MEANS SHOULD BE AT LEAST A 12 INCH MAIN. IN CONVERSATION WITH THE ENGINEER. WE'RE ACTUALLY THINKING AND LOOKING AT A 16 INCH MAIN, SO THAT WE'RE PREPARED FOR GROWTH. BUT AS IT IS THAT EIGHT INCH MAIN, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THAT MEAN WE HAVE A PROBLEM. IT'S THAT SIMPLE. SO THAT THAT PROJECT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ALTOGETHER. OKAY ANYBODY ELSE GOT IN COMMENTS? PIP. I GOT A QUESTION FOR PAT. MHM. WE SPOKE ABOUT. AND I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE. I AGREE. GOT TO BE DONE FIRST THING ON THE BOOK ON THE BLOCK. BUT WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OLD DRIVE AND PUTTING IN A SECOND LIFT STATION. WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT. AS PART OF WITH THE FUNDING OF THE $18 MILLION.

WE GOT THAT FOR THE PLANT. I HAVE ALSO ASKED THE ENGINEER TO GIVE ME A PROPOSAL TO LOOK AT THE LIFT STATIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE A PROBLEM OVER HERE WITH THE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM. UM THE 1/50 LIFT STATION. STRUGGLES. WE'VE MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO IT.

ACTUALLY I DIDN'T HAVE THAT ON THE ON THE PRESENTATION, BUT WE DID SOME IMPROVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT LIST STATION THE LAST TWO WEEKS. BECAUSE WE HAD A PUMPS DOWN. UH BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT MAYBE PUTTING IN A SECOND LIFT STATION OVER THERE ON SEMINOLE TO TAKE SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF THE 150TH. IT'S EITHER THAT OR MAKING THAT LIST STATION BIGGER IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN GET THE WATER TO FLOW WHERE WE WANTED TO GO TO A SECOND LIFT STATION. OR WE BUILD A BIGGER LIFT STATION 150TH. IT'S GONNA TAKE. WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT IT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT MAKES MOST SENSE DO EITHER OR BUT I THINK SO FAR AWAY. ARE WE FROM? I'LL BE COMING TO YOU WITH A PROPOSAL IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO FOR THE ENGINEERING FOR THAT. I'VE ACCELERATED THAT. WE'RE NOT GONNA WAIT TO LOOK THE LIFT STATIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE. THANKFULLY BECAUSE OF THAT APPROPRIATION. WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT. I MEAN, WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THE MONEY YET, BUT TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING AND IN ORDER SO THAT WHEN WE DO GET THE MONEY, WE'RE READY TO GO. AND WE CAN SOLVE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS SOLVABLE. WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT. WE'RE ALREADY DOING SOME THINGS TO SOLVE THAT. AND LIKE I SAID WITH THE 150TH LIFT STATION, WE FOUND ONE OF THE PUMPS WAS ACTUALLY WIRED BACKWARDS. SO IT WILL PUMP BUT IT WILL NOT PUMP TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. SO ONCE WE PUT THAT, UH, NEW PUMP IN LAST WEEK DATELESS STATION HAS IMPROVED IN PERFORMANCE ALREADY. SO WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW THIS MONEY WILL ENABLE US TO PUT IN A LIFT STATION THAT CAN DO THE JOB THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO, BECAUSE THE ONE THAT'S THERE NOW DOESN'T IT'S THAT SIMPLE. THANK YOU. DONE.

YOU ALREADY GOT ANY DRUTHERS? ANY COMMENTS, ANY BROTHERS? UM, JUST BASICALLY LIKE YOU SAID.

WATER COMES FIRST. SO THE RAILROAD AVENUE FIRST, THEN UP TO THEN 1/50 NOSTRIL, A STREET.

THEN, UM. UPTOWN DRAINAGE, THIRD OR LINCOLN STREET. THIRD OR WERE YOU GUYS ARE AT ON THAT? DO UPTOWN DRAINAGE AND BECAUSE THAT WILL BE BROKE UP. INTO BITE SIZED PIECES, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA THEY'RE NOT GONNA FUND ALRIGHT DOLLARS, SO YEAH. I AGREE WITH THAT ASSESSMENT, RAILROAD AVENUE, THEN 150TH. AND I'LL SEE OH AND UPTOWN DRAINAGE AND ROADWAY. AND THEN LINCOLN STREET. WOULD BE FOR. THAT'S MINE. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT EVERYBODY, OTHERS

AND HE BROUGHT HOW MUCH HOME I THINK THE FIRST YEAR WAS 3 50. AND THIS YEAR WE'LL GET THIS YEAR WAS NOTHING BECAUSE OKAY. WE NOTE OKAY? UM AND I. I REMEMBER THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD SATURDAY. AND THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE WAS WE HAVE HOMEGROWN LOBBYISTS. THAT HAVE BEEN PHENOMENAL. AND PROCURING AND MAKING SURE INDIAN TOWN UM HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT. AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS AND UTILIZING WHAT WE'VE GOT. AND I'M I'M I UNDERSTAND.

AVENUE THAT WE CAN AND, UM, NEED TO RECOGNIZE WHAT IS DONE ON OUR BEHALF. BYE. EVERYONE IN THIS IN THE VILLAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT DO STAY AT THE FOREFRONT AND THINGS DO COME OUR WAY. SO DO YOU HAVE? EXCUSE ME? DO YOU HAVE DIRECTION FROM THE STAFF? I MEAN FROM FROM THE COUNCIL FOR STAFF. HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING SPECIFIC? I'LL ASK THE QUESTION MORE DIRECTLY.

Reading Public Comment Letters into the Record

SO I THINK IT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME. UM. IF IT IS MADE PUBLIC RECORD. THAT IS, I THINK THE

[01:35:06]

OKAY THIS IS THIS IS A DIVERSION FROM THAT PRACTICE THAT THAT THAT DIRECTIVE. OKAY SO DO WE FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO BRING THIS BACK AND HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM SINCE WE MADE EMOTION AND IT WAS BEST THAT WE NOT DO THAT. DO WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK AND DISCUSS IT AGAIN. AND MAKE ANOTHER MOTION. HAVE MOTIONS MADE. ARE WE? ARE WE MADAM MAYOR IF I CAN JUST CLARIFYING, PLEASE THAT ITEM. THAT ACTION WAS NOT MADE BY MOTION. IN THE SECOND. IT WAS JUST A CONSENSUS OF THE COUNCIL. FORMAL MOTION, OKAY? OKAY? SO THAT'S STILL A DIRECTIVE TO STAFF RIGHT? WE WOULD NOT READ LETTERS. SO WHAT I'M HEARING FROM TWO. THREE THAT WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK THE WAY IT KIND OF HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION. IT JUST HAPPENED. IT WAS IT HAPPENED SO FAST.

NOBODY EVEN DISCUSS IT. IT WAS. SHOULD WE DO IT OR NOT? YES NO. AND THREE PEOPLE SAID YES. THREE PEOPLE. WELL, THREE PEOPLE SAID NO TO PEOPLE SAID YES. BUT THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION WHICH I DIDN'T I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS A BURGER APPROPRIATE TO HAPPEN THAT WAY. I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AGENDA ITEM JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. AND THEN WE MAKE A OFFICIAL DECISION BASED ON IT.

OKAY AND AS THAT IS AND I'M GOING TO SAY THE REASON THAT I BROUGHT IT FORWARD AND DID IT AS AS THE PERSON RUNNING THE MEETING THE CHAIR THE MAYOR OF THE YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOU ARE.

UM YOU DO HAVE SOME LATITUDE IN HOW THE MEETING GOES AND HOW THE SO THAT'S THE REASON THAT I DID WHAT I DID, UM I AM. I GUESS USED WHAT AUTHORITY? THAT I HAD IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD, MOVE THE MEETING FORWARD. I FELT IT APPROPRIATE. SO HAVING DISCUSSION AND FEELING LIKE DISCUSSION IS NEEDED. ONCE AGAIN. DO WE FEEL LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO COME BACK AND HAVE A FORMAL MOTION, SINCE WE'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS IT DOES. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BRING BACK. AND REHASH AGAIN AROUND THERE. LET'S DO EMOTION AND GET IT DONE AND GET IT OVER WITH AND PUT THIS TO REST. OKAY SO BRING IT BACK AND PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA. YES, WE CAN VOTE ON IT. OKAY? IS THAT GENERAL CONSENSUS? I MEAN, WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT AT THE MEETING. BUT IF EVERYBODY FEELS LIKE WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK ON THE AGENDA, LET'S BRING IT BACK AND MAKE A FINAL DECISION. I WANT TO BRING IT BACK AND PUT IT. OKAY HERE WE GO. HANG ON, JUST GOING TO POINT OUT FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBER. IT'S REALLY MORE DOWN TO A PROCEDURAL THING. WE DO OUR BEST TO WHEN WE GET TO DISCUSSION ITEMS. IT'S ITEMS WERE JUST DISCUSSING YOU ALL ARE JUST DISCUSSING AND WE RESERVE TAKING FINAL ACTION ON SOMETHING UNTIL IT'S FURTHER UP IN THE AGENDAS OF THE PUBLIC KNOWS THAT ACTION IS GOING TO BE TAKEN, AND IT'S GOING TO BE DONE AND SO ON. SO IT'S REALLY JUST A PROCEDURAL THING. YOU GOTTA DECIDE IT RIGHT NOW. WHICH IS NOT TYPICALLY THE WAY YOU ALL DO IT OR BRING IT BACK, SO EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU'RE GONNA TAKE FINAL ACTION ON IT. OKAY I JUST WONDERED. OKAY, SO WE'VE GOT TO BRING IT BACK. YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK? BRING BRING BRING IT BACK. OKAY SO THAT BEING SAID WE GOT IT HERE, OKAY?
