KARA, YOU GOT THIS FLOOR UP. OKAY, GREAT. UM, SO JUST WANNA PROVIDE A COUPLE OF QUICK UPDATES ON, UM, SOME OF OUR GOALS HERE. SO, UM, SO THE FIRST GOAL THAT'S LISTED HERE WITH, UH, FORMALIZING A CHANGE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. UH, WE WERE A LITTLE OFF TRACK ON THAT ONE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, BUT WE'VE GOTTEN THAT BACK. UM, WE'RE GETTING, WE'RE GETTING BACK ON TRACK WITH THAT. UH, WE'VE DEVELOPED SEVERAL TEMPLATES FOR COMMUNICATION TO STANDARDIZE THE COMMUNICATIONS THAT WE SEND ON A REGULAR BASIS REGARDING, UH, SERVICE OUTAGES OR OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING THAT IMPACT LARGE NUMBERS [a. Facilities Quarterly Report ] OF PEOPLE. AND, UH, AND WE'RE, UH, AND I'M, I'M GOING TO BE PRESENTING THAT AT THE, UH, DEPARTMENT HEAD MEETING NEXT WEEK. UH, WE'RE ALSO WORKING, UH, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS GOING ON. WE'RE WORKING ON, UM, HOW WE BEST DEVELOP THOSE SAME TOOLS FOR THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT, UM, FOR, FOR OUR PROJECT, PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM AS WELL. UM, SO, UH, SO WE'VE MADE SOME GOOD HEADWAY ON THAT. UM, UH, WITH REGARDS TO, UH, WORKING ON OUR KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS, UH, WE'RE ON TRACK WITH THAT, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC UPDATES ON THAT ONE TODAY. UM, THAT'LL BE, UH, FORTHCOMING TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR. UM, THE NEXT, UH, ITEM THAT WE HAVE ON OUR LIST IS THE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN, UM, WHICH HAS BEEN, UH, VERY TIME CONSUMING FOR OUR TEAM. THAT'S PROBABLY, UH, IT'S A, IT'S A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF MY TIME AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS ON MY TEAM. UM, SO IT'S A PRETTY BIG GOAL FOR US. UM, A COUPLE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE GOT, UH, GOING ON ARE COMPLETE ARE WE'VE, WE'VE ADDED THE ELEVATOR, UM, AS, AS I THINK YOU ALL KNOW, UM, OUR FUEL ISLAND IS RELOCATING IN AUGUST. UM, AND WE ARE, UH, SCOTT'S GONNA BE PRESENTING THE 90% DOCUMENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WE'RE WORKING ON FOR THE CAMPUS. UH, THAT'S PLANNED TO GO OUT FOR BID IN JUNE. AND, UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO START CONSTRUCTION IN THE FALL. SO, UM, THAT'S GONNA BE, UM, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR PROJECT TO START FROM START TO FINISH. SO, UM, GONNA TAKE A LOT OF OUR TIME AND EFFORT OVER THE NEXT, UH, YEAR AND A HALF. UM, THE, UH, THE NEXT GOAL IS BUILDING AUTOMATION, UH, PLAN. AND THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN ROLLED IN WITH, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. UH, WHILE WE HAVE EVERYTHING RIPPED OUT, IT'S THE PERFECT TIME TO START MAKING SOME OF THOSE CHANGES. UM, WE'RE UPGRADING OUR BUILDING CONTROL SYSTEM IN SOME, UH, IN SOME CONTROL HARDWARE SO THAT WE CAN START ADDING SOME OF THE LATEST AND GREATEST, UH, FEATURES TO, UH, HELP IMPROVE OUR, OUR CONTROL OVER THE BUILDINGS, AS WELL AS PROVIDE SOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENCIES, UM, AND REPORTING ON SOME OF THOSE EFFICIENCIES AS WELL. UM, AND THEN THE LAST GOAL THAT WE HAVE IS, UH, IS A SAFETY TEAM, UH, GOAL. WE'VE NOT HAD A SAFETY TEAM, UM, UH, IN PLACE IN OUR DEPARTMENT, BUT SAFETY'S A VERY BIG CONCERN FOR OUR STAFF. UM, WE'RE HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE'RE OVER 800 DAYS WITHOUT A LOST TIME WORK INCIDENT WITHIN OUR GROUP, WHICH IS A PRETTY BIG CHALLENGE. DID YOU JUST KNOCK ON WOOD ? UM, YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A BIG, BIG THING FOR US. SURE. UM, AND, UH, AND WE, WE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT ON IT. UM, ALL OF MY FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES HAVE DONE A, A 10 HOUR OSHA, UH, TRAINING CLASS. AND, UM, AND WE'RE WORKING [00:05:01] ON CREATING SOME MORE TRAINING PROGRAMS. THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON RIGHT NOW IS, IS MAKING SURE THAT, UH, WE'VE GOT ALL OF THE BASIC TRAINING THAT WE WANT, ALL OF OUR FULL-TIME STAFF AS WELL AS OUR SEASONAL STAFF DOING, UM, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. UM, THEY'LL ALSO BE WORKING ON SOME ADDITIONAL GOALS TO BE DEFINED, UM, BUT, UM, THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT POINT. THE, THE TEAM IS ABOUT, UH, SIX WEEKS IN RIGHT NOW. SO, UM, ANYWAY, ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER ON ANY OF THOSE GOALS? I DO HAVE, UM, AND IT'S VERY MINOR, BUT I NOTICED ON THE PLANS THE MASTER PLAN, YOU HAD POTTER LAWSON ON THERE YET. OH, THAT'S IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE. AND CERTAINLY WE'VE MOVED ON FROM THEM. UM, AND, BUT I, YEAH, I SAW THAT ON THE, 'CAUSE THERE'S JUST A LITTLE BLURB, THERE'S ACTUALLY MORE DETAIL UNDER EACH OF THESE, UH, EACH OF THESE GOALS IN OUR SYSTEM. UM, BUT IT JUST PRINTS THAT, THAT FRONT ONE AND IT DOES IT FOR THAT ONE, BUT NOT FOR ALL OF 'EM. SO, , UM, YEAH, I'LL, I'LL TRY TO TAKE THAT OUT FOR YOU. . NO, I, IT'S IRRELEVANT. YEAH. I GUESS I JUST HAPPENED TO NOTICE THAT, UH, THE ARCHITECT WAS DIFFERENT, BUT, UM, AND ARE YOU, LOOK, YOU SAID THE OSHA 10, RIGHT? YEAH. NOW, DO YOU FOLLOW LIKE DPW STUFF THEN TOO? I MEAN, DO SOME OF THE GUYS HAVE 30 AND ALL THAT STUFF FOR OUT IN THE FIELD OR IS IT A WHOLE DIFFERENT SAFETY PROGRAM FOR LIKE, KARA'S GROUP OF GUYS FOR IT IS. OKAY. SO YEAH. KIND OF LIKE US TOO. MM-HMM . POWER DIVISION VERSUS THE VERTICAL BUILDING IS OBVIOUSLY WE GOTTA WORRY ABOUT HIGH, YOU KNOW, HIGH POWER STUFF, SO. RIGHT. I, FOR MOST, WITH SAFETY, FOR MOST OF MY GUYS, IT'S, IT'S, UM, IT'S A LOT OF, UM, OF KEEPING IT FRONT OF MIND AS OPPOSED TO LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOT THIS TRAINING AND NOW THEY'RE ALL LIKE OUT THERE DOING, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL SAFE NOW. SURE. IT HAS, IT'S A REPEATABLE, UH, SORT OF PROGRAM BECAUSE YOU GET KIND OF LACKADAISICAL ABOUT IT AND YOU START GETTING, YOU START FALLING INTO OLD HABITS. SO WE'RE, IT'S, IT'S ABOUT KEEPING IT FRESH. YOU HAVE TO TRY TO MAKE IT FUN. MM-HMM . SO THEY, YEAH. YEAH. EXACTLY. WELL, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 800 DAYS. YEAH. THANKS. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE. WE'RE GOOD. THANK YOU. GREAT. THANKS. UH, MOVING ON TO TRANSIT RIDERSHIP REPORT. AND THE FIRST THING THAT POPS UP TO ME IS, HEY, THE RIDERSHIP'S GOING UP A LITTLE BIT, HUH? YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. , LIKE I SAID, I WAS KIND OF CURIOUS, UM, IF, 'CAUSE BECAUSE WE RAISED THE RATES RIGHT, WE THOUGHT WOULD DROP OFF, BUT WE WEREN'T SURE. NOW SEEING THEM COME BACK UP, I'M WONDERING IF, IF SOME OF THE ADULTS ARE RIDING MORE, IF THAT'S HELPING OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR CASH FLOW, I GUESS, IF YOU WILL. SO IT DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE, UH, AGENCY, I MEAN, IF YOU COMPARE IT TO LAST YEAR IN 24, UH, HAVE THE AVERAGE, UH, TRIPS BASED ON THE FAIR CATEGORIES, IT LOOKS LIKE THE INCREASE WAS, UH, THERE'S AN INCREASE IN ELDERLY, UH, THE AGENCY FAIRS, LET'S SEE, THOSE ARE ABOUT THE SAME. UH, LET'S SEE HERE. YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A, A KIND OF A BLEND OF, OF RIDERSHIP THERE. IT'S NOT JUST ONE, UH, ONE CATEGORY. YEAH. IF YOU LOOK IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER, IT DOES BREAK IT DOWN BY THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ADULT AND AGENCY AND STUFF. SO UNFORTUNATELY, THE ADULT IS, UH, GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. OKAY. IN APRIL, UH, GOING DOWN, SO, YEAH. YEAH. THE OVERALL RIDERSHIP IS STILL UP THOUGH. THAT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT THEY'RE UTILIZING THE SERVICE. IS THERE ANY, WHAT ELSE YOU WANTED TO COVER? LET'S SEE HERE. SO THE, THE TOTAL COST WAS HIGHER IN APRIL. THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THE, THE HIGHER BILL HOURS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE, UH, UH, THERE'S AN ANNUAL AUDIT. UH, AND SO THAT, UH, IS PRICED TO, UH, THAT'S A COST TO TRANSIT. LET'S SEE, ALSO, UH, VEHICLES WERE AUCTIONED OFF. AND SO THE, THE PREPARATION FOR THOSE VEHICLES TO BE AUCTIONED IS A, IS A PRICE AS WELL. GOT IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? NOPE. SCOTT, MR. CHAIR, IF I COULD THAT SAME, UH, SPREADSHEET IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER, THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THERE MM-HMM . BUT I THINK ONE THING TO POINT OUT IS THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS, NOT JUST RIDERS, BUT IN A FAR, FAR UPPER RIGHT CORNER. YEP. UH, WE HAD 519, 5 3, 4 5, 6, 1 5, 3 8. SO THAT NUMBER IS INCREASING AS, AS WELL. SO WE'VE BEEN DOING SOME ADVERTISING, UH, COULD, COULD IMPACT A LITTLE BIT. UH, IT COULD JUST BE WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO SUMMER AND PEOPLE ARE OUTSIDE WORKING AND MOVING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN NORMAL. SO, UH, SOMETHING WE'RE DEFINITELY KEEPING AN EYE ON. WE'RE GLAD IT'S GOING IN THAT DIRECTION. IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE WE ARE BUDGET WISE WITH THE, THE WHOLE THING AND WHERE, WHICH DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO MOVING FORWARD. [b. Transit Ridership Report] STILL NO QUESTIONS FROM THE, FROM THE CROWD. [00:10:01] I, I WILL BE A QUICK MEETING THE WAY IT'S GOING HERE. WE'RE GOOD. THANK YOU. OKAY. MOVING ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM, MASTER PLAN UPDATE. AND THAT'S THE 20 PAGES. I DON'T EVEN THINK I NEED MY GLASSES FOR THAT, 'CAUSE I CAN BLOW IT UP PRETTY BIG. SCOTT, YOU GOT THE FLOOR. THANK YOU, DEREK. UH, SINCE OUR LAST, EXCUSE ME. UH, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, THERE'S BEEN BEEN SEVERAL, UH, SIGNIFICANT UPDATES AND CHANGES TO THE MASTER PLANET. I FEEL IT WAS TIME TO BRING THIS UPDATE BACK TO THE COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT. UH, THE, THE BIGGEST CHANGE WAS THAT YOU MAY RECALL THAT, UH, INSIDE THE, THE NEW EASTERN ENTRANCE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A HALLWAY, UH, TO WHAT IS CALLED THE JURY SELECTION ROOM TO ALLOW VOTING, UH, WITHIN THE BUILDING. UH, WE HAD A, A MEETING, UH, STAFFED DID WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY. THE, UH, JUDGES, UH, THE CLERK OF COURTS, UH, KARA WAS THERE AS WELL, UH, TO LOOK AT WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN. UH, BRAD STERN, OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY, WROTE AN OPINION THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT, UH, THAT WOULD BE AN ALLOWABLE USE WITHIN THE JUSTICE CENTER. UH, BECAUSE OF ALLOWING PEOPLE TO GO INTO THE JUSTICE CENTER, UH, WITHOUT GOING THROUGH SECURITY, IT WAS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CLERK THAT PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH SECURITY TO GO AND VOTE. THINKING THAT WOULD BE A, A, THAT DETRIMENT TO THAT. AND, UH, DEFINITELY EVERYBODY AGREED IN THAT ROOM THAT THAT WOULD NOT BE, UH, IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE, THE VOTING PUBLIC TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH SECURITY. ALSO, THE FACT IS THAT THEN YOU'D HAVE, UH, BASICALLY SECURITY GUARDS ON BOTH SIDES WHILE YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE, THAT SOMEBODY COULD ALSO BE INTIMIDATED, UH, BY THAT AS WELL. SO, UH, AT THE, THE, UH, BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETING, THEN IT WAS DETERMINED NOT TO UTILIZE THE BUILDING FOR VOTING ANYMORE. UH, THE CLERK IS, IS WELL AWARE OF THAT. SHE DID WORK WITH THE CITY CLERK TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THAT BEFORE THE, THE, THE, UH, AGENDA PACKET HIT, HIT THE, UH, THE PAPER, SO TO SPEAK. UH, AND WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE CITY TO FIND A, A SUITABLE VOTING LOCATION. THE GOOD THING IS WE'VE GOT LOTS OF TIME, UH, BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT VOTING CYCLE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. SO WE'RE APPRECIATIVE TO EVERYBODY'S EFFORTS AND TIME, INCLUDING THE JUDGES, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, UH, THE COUNTY CLERK AND CLERK OF COURTS TO ACTUALLY, UH, LOOK AT THAT AND, UH, AND MAKE THAT DETERMINATION AS WELL AS THE BUILDING COMMITTEE TO, TO TAKE, UH, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S RECOMMENDATION AND GO WITH THAT. SO THAT'S A, A MAJOR CHANGE FROM LAST TIME THAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS, UH, GROUP WAS WELL AWARE OF THAT, THAT CHANGE. UH, WE THEN ALL OUR LAST BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETING, UH, TO HAD A CLOSED SESSION TALK ABOUT SECURITY, UH, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE BUILDING, UH, INCLUDING THE JUSTICE CENTER AND, AND THIS BUILDING. UH, AND I THINK THAT WENT VERY WELL. CAN'T GET INTO SPECIF SPECIFIC CLOSED SESSION, BUT, UH, NEEDED TO SAY WE ARE INCLUDING OUR, OUR COUNTY SHERIFF, UH, IN ON THOSE SECURITY DISCUSSIONS, UM, FROM DAY ONE WE HAVE BEEN. AND SO WE'VE GOT A, A REALLY GOOD FEEL FOR WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS BUILDING SECURITY IS CONCERNED. UH, SO, UH, WITH THAT, WE DID MAKE SOME, SOME MINOR CHANGES AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO SOME OF THE AREAS. UH, WE'RE STILL FINALIZING, FINALIZING THOSE FROM THE 60% PLANS TO 90% PLANS. UH, AND AS THE 90% PLANS GOES NEXT WEEK, THURSDAY, UH, EXCUSE ME, LET ME BACK UP A STEP. NEXT WEEK MONDAY, THE BUILDING COMMITTEE'S GONNA MEET AGAIN AND GO THROUGH THOSE 90% PLANS IN, IN GREAT DETAIL. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THOSE, WE'D CERTAINLY BE WELCOME TO INCORPORATE THOSE AS WELL. UH, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO ATTEND THAT MEETING AND WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH 'EM A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL THAN, THAN TODAY. AND THEN, UH, NEXT WEEK, THURSDAY, I BELIEVE IT IS, THEN WE'RE DOING A, WHAT'S CALLED A PAGE TURN MEETING WHERE YOU GO PAGE BY PAGE, LINE BY LINE, LOOKING AT EVERYTHING WE CAN WITH THE ARCHITECT AND THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT'S INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT. UH, THE SHERIFF WILL BE THERE, OR AT LEAST AS DESIGNEE WILL BE THERE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SECURITY AND STUFF. SO TRYING TO FIND EVERYTHING WE CAN IN THAT PLAN. AS YOU KNOW, IF IT'S IN THE BID PACKET, IT'S A LOT EASIER THAN LATER ON WITH A CHANGE ORDER. UH, THE COSTS TEND TO BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN WHEN YOU ACTUALLY BID SOMETHING OUT. SO HOPEFULLY WITH MORE EYES ON IT, UH, THAT WE BE ABLE TO CATCH SOME OF THOSE THINGS AND, UH, DETAIL. BUT WE CERTAINLY WELCOME THE COMMITTEE TO, TO LOOK THROUGH THOSE. THERE REALLY HASN'T BEEN ANY WHOLESALE CHANGES TO THAT. THERE IS A PHASING PLAN IN THERE, AND THAT'S ONE THING THE COMMITTEE WILL GO THROUGH TOO, THAT WE GOTTA DO ONE THING FIRST. YOU KNOW, MOVE, CREATE THE NEW CLINIC FIRST, AND THEN MOVE THE CLINIC AND THEN DEMO THAT AREA AND THEN MOVE THE CLERK AND THE REGISTERED DEEDS AND TREASURER. SO THERE'LL BE PHASING, PHASING PLAN GOING THROUGH. WE ARE LOOKING AT BIDDING IT OUT THIS JUNE WITH BIDS BEING BACK DUE JULY 1ST, UH, AND THEN HAVING A MANDATORY, UH, PRE-BID MEETING WHERE WE WALK ALL THE CONTRACTORS THROUGH THOSE LOCATIONS ON JUNE 11TH, I BELIEVE THAT IS. AND THEN, UH, USING THE MONTH OF JULY TO GET THE CONTRACT SETTLED IN AND ALL THAT GOOD FUND STUFF. AND HOPEFULLY STARTING IN AUGUST WAS CONSTRUCTION, LOOKING AT ABOUT A 15 TO 16TH MONTHS PERIOD. UH, THREE PHASES, ABOUT FIVE MONTHS EACH, SO ABOUT 15 AGAIN TO 16 MONTHS, UH, COMPLETED IN ROUGHLY NOVEMBER OF 2026. UH, WHAT BY DOING THAT, UH, IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO, UH, MOVE THAT LAST PHASE. THE PEOPLE IN THAT LAST PHASE, ESPECIALLY THE, UH, NATURAL RESOURCES FROM ACROSS THE STREET OVER, UM, HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER WON'T BE TOO TERRIBLE BY THAT POINT, AS WELL AS, UH, BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR WHERE EVERYBODY'S TAKING VACATIONS AND OFF AND GOT THANKSGIVING AND THE HOLIDAYS AS WELL AS THE CONTRACTORS THEMSELVES COME THAT MID-NOVEMBER, UH, TEND TO USUALLY HEAD UP NORTH. UH, SO WE WANNA GET THEM DONE BEFORE THAT, [00:15:01] THAT TIME PERIOD HAPPENS AS WELL. SO THE SCHEDULE'S LOOKING, UH, PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW. OUR ARCHITECTURAL FIRM, AGAIN, AT THAT PAGE TURN, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT ONE MORE TIME, UH, DOING A LOT OF THE EXTERIOR WORK IN THIS YEAR YET SO THAT THE NEW PARKING LOT WILL BE READY FOR WHEN THE CLERK, UH, AND REGISTER DEEDS MOVE ROUGHLY IN JANUARY OR SO OF 2026 THAT THE OUTSIDE WORK WILL BE DONE AND READY FOR THAT TO GO. AND EVEN THAT OUTSIDE WORK HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PHASING TO IT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE CAN ALWAYS GET INTO THE BUILDING. IT'S, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. UH, THE PHASING PLAN IS SO THAT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO, UH, THE BUILDING WILL STAY OPEN THROUGHOUT, DURING THE WHOLE THING. UH, THERE WILL BE NO HOPEFULLY DISRUPTION OF SERVICES DURING THAT TIME, UH, WITH, WITH PRETTY ELECTRICITY OR HEAT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. UH, IT WILL BE NOISY IN THE BUILDING, UM, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE BUILDING, UH, REGARDLESS OF WHERE SWEET YOU ARE, YOU'LL HEAR NOISE. UH, THERE'S, UH, A LOT OF CONCRETE IN THIS BUILDING THAT NEEDS TO BE EITHER ATTACHED TO OR BEING DRILLED THROUGH AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO, UH, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. UH, STAFF IS, IS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. AND EVEN THE, THE DEPARTMENTS THAT WE'RE MEETING WITH, YOU CAN JUST TELL BY WE'RE GETTING INTO THOSE REAL MINOR DETAILS OF, YOU KNOW, FILE CABINETS AND DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. IT'S, UH, GOING TO BE PRETTY EXCITING AROUND HERE. I THINK A LOT OF 'EM ARE LITERALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO, UM, NOVEMBER OF 2026, MAYBE [c. Master Plan Update] NOT BEFORE THAT, BUT, BUT DEFINITELY TO THAT, THAT TIME PERIOD GOING FORWARD. SO, UH, CERTAINLY THE, THE BUILDING PLANS ARE IN THERE. IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS, WE'D CERTAINLY LIKE TO HEAR THEM AND, UH, SEE HOW THEY CAN BE ADDRESSED AND WORK WITH OUR ARCHITECTURE TEAM TO SEE WHAT WE CAN MAKE HAPPEN FOR YOU. WITH THAT. I CERTAINLY HAVE ANY, CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. SO JUST, UM, JUST TO CONFIRM, YOU SAID, SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT MOVING THE, 'CAUSE I'VE WORKED THIS DISTRICT MYSELF HERE AND VOTING, YOU'RE SAYING MOVING THE VOTE WHERE THE VOTING DISTRICT THAT COMES HERE, CORRECT. MOVING IT TO ANOTHER FACILITY SOMEWHERE, CORRECT? YES. YES. UM, I SEE ASHLEY PERK UP A LITTLE BIT. UM, SHE MAY HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON IT THAN, THAN I CURRENTLY HAVE. UH, WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO COMMUNICATE ON THAT RECENTLY. DISTRICT FIVE GOES ACROSS THE STREET. WHAT, UM, SO IN TALKING BRIEF DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CLERK, SHE WAS ALREADY KIND OF AWARE THAT SOME SORT OF CHANGES WOULD BE HAPPENING. UH, I LET HER KNOW THAT WE WOULD OFFER ANY AVAILABLE SPACE THAT WE DO HAVE ON COUNTY PROPERTY AND WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO WALK HER THROUGH THOSE SPACES. I THINK EVEN HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT HAD COME UP AS A POTENTIAL OPTION, UH, AND THAT WE WOULD WALK THROUGH WITH HER AND THE MAYOR BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW, THEY DON'T HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR. UM, AND THEN JUST TALKING ABOUT OTHER OPTIONS IN THE AREA, THERE'S NOT MANY, UH, BUT I THINK THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR THEM TO START LOOKING AT OPTIONS. THEY HAVE TIME TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH RESIDENTS SO THAT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING LAST MINUTE. AND THE NEXT POSSIBLE ELECTION IS POP, UH, FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR IS THE NEXT POTENTIAL ELECTION. OBVIOUSLY IT'S ONLY IF WE HAVE ENOUGH TO CAUSE A PRIMARY, OTHERWISE IT'S APRIL OF 26. SO THERE IS TIME TO, BUT WE'RE STARTING NOW, RIGHT? YEAH. WHEN DOES THE CONSTRUCTION START AGAIN? YOU SAID IT'S GOING OUT FOR BID THIS AUGUST, CORRECT? UH, THE BIDS ARE DUE BACK JULY 1ST, OH, JULY. UH, THEN IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING THE CONTRACT FINALIZED AND THEN OBVIOUSLY HAVING A, A PRE-BID MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, UH, AND THEN MAKING SURE THEY CAN, THEY GOTTA ORDER THEIR MATERIALS AND GET THEIR SCHEDULES LINED UP AND STUFF. SO GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE ALLOW 30 TO 45 DAYS BEFORE CONSTRUCTION STARTS. SO COULD BE AS EARLY AS AUGUST, BUT, UH, MOST LIKELY SOMETIME IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST. OKAY. THAT'S COMING QUICK. YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOR THAT. UM, NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO LEAD LATERAL UPDATE. AND I SAW ALL THE CALCULATIONS. I GOTTA GET DOWN THERE THOUGH. IT'S A WAYS DOWN. IT'S A WAYS DOWN. OH, THERE WE GO. ANYTIME YOU'RE READY, SCOTT. OKAY. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. UH, SOME EXCITING NEWS IN, IN THE WORLD OF, OF LEAD LATERALS, UH, THAT [d. Lead Lateral Update] THE CITY OF HARTFORD HAS PASSED THEIR RESOLUTION, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, AND WE APPRECIATE THEM GETTING THE MEMORANDUM OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING COMPLETED. UH, AND THEY'RE NOW WELL ON THE WAY TO ACTUALLY, UH, REPLACING SOME OF THE LEAD LATERALS INSIDE THE CITY OF HARTFORD. UH, THE SECOND PAGE AND, AND, OR EXCUSE ME, THIRD PAGE TECHNICALLY, UH, AND IT DID SHOW UP RELATIVELY SMALL, UH, DOES SHOW WHAT THE CITY OF HARTFORD'S LOOKING AT ACCOMPLISHING, UH, IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THIS CYCLE. AGAIN, UTILIZING ARPA FUNDS. UH, THEY'RE LOOKING AT COMPLETING ROUGHLY NINE LATERAL LEAD LATERALS IN 2025 AND 14 IN 2026. UH, SO THAT'S A, A GREAT START. UH, ALSO ATTACHED AS THE CITY OF HARTFORD HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB OF CREATING A, UH, CALLED A LONG-TERM PLAN FOR THEIR LEAD LADDER REPLACEMENT. THAT'S THE LAST PAGE IN THAT PARTICULAR REPORT. AND SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT AND WHAT THAT ALLOWS US TO DO, AND THE CITY OF WEST BEND IS, UH, HOPEFULLY WORKING ON, ON THEIRS AS WELL, IS TO HELP YOU AT BUDGET TIME TO LOOK AT WHAT [00:20:01] THAT LOOKS LIKE GOING FORWARD AND SEE WHAT, WHAT THAT ISSUE OR CONCERN IS AND HOW MANY ARE OUT THERE AND, AND WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TO ACTUALLY GET THOSE REPLACED. UH, WE ARE STILL WATCHING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND STATE GOVERNMENT FOR ANY OPPORTUNITIES THAT MIGHT ARISE, UH, FOR LATERALS. UH, REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL PUT CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THAT, THOSE FUNDS THAT WERE OUT THERE. AND WE'RE STILL HOPEFUL THAT THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION NOW, UH, WILL MAYBE MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THOSE, THOSE PROGRAMS GOING FORWARD. UH, WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE TO HAVE HARTFORD ON BOARD. UH, THEY'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE FOR THE PROGRAM AS WELL. UH, SO WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA BE MOVING, UH, RELATIVELY QUICKLY ON THAT AS, UH, AS THEY COMPLETE THEIR PROJECTS. BUT, UH, HAPPY TO SEE A VERY DETAILED REPORT FROM THEM, UM, THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO SHARE. UH, WE ARE WORKING ON A DASHBOARD, UH, AS WELL AS YOU SAW ON YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITY DOCUMENT LAST NIGHT, OUR GIS DEPARTMENT, AGAIN, SECOND TO NONE, UH, HAS ALREADY STARTED KICKING THAT OFF ALREADY TO SHOW THE ONES THAT WERE COMPLETED, ONES WE HAVE YET TO DO AND START WORKING ON THAT AS WELL. SO THAT'LL BE OUT THERE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE AS WELL AS THE COUNTY BOARD TO SEE WHAT, WHAT THE ISSUES ARE DONE AND, AND HOW MANY YOU'VE TACKLED ALREADY. UH, YOU MAY RECALL THAT KIOSK WAS DONE AND NOW LEAD FREE FROM ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS REPORTS. MM-HMM . THE VILLAGE OF SLINGER WAS ALSO AWARDED A GRANT. UH, AND THEY, UH, FOUND UNFORTUNATELY SOME MORE LEAD LATERALS THAN WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. UH, BUT WE HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO THAT WITH THE CONTINGENCY MONEY WE SET ASIDE. UH, PLEASED TO NOTE THAT AT ONCE THE FROST BROKE, UH, THEY DID COMPLETE TWO LATERALS AND THEY MAY HAVE DONE MORE SINCE THE LAST TIME I TOUCHED BASE WITH THEM SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. AND THEY ACTUALLY REQUESTED THE REIMBURSEMENT ALREADY FOR THOSE TWO LATERALS. SO THEY'RE WELL ON THEIR WAY. THEY'VE GOT A CONTRACTOR UNDER CONTRACT TO DO THOSE THIS YEAR. SO THEY'RE HOPING TO COMPLETE THEM ALL, UH, THIS CALENDAR YEAR. UH, AS YOU IMAGINE WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SIDE, UH, IT DOES TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO SOMETIMES CONVINCE THE, THE PRIVATE LANDOWNER TO ALLOW, ALLOW THEM ONTO THEIR LAND AND INTO YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE TO GO INTO YOUR HOUSE TO ACTUALLY MAKE THESE CONNECTIONS. SO THAT CAN BE SOMETIMES A LONGER PROCESS OF WHAT YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE. BUT WE'RE APPRECIATIVE THAT THE VILLAGE OF SLINGERS OUT THERE PUTTING OUT THE EFFORT TO, TO DO THIS. AND I KNOW, UH, SINCE WE HAVE OUR SHOP IN SLINGER, UH, WE DID GET A LETTER TOO. SO THEY ARE, UM, NOT JUST RELYING ON SOME OF THEIR OLDER DATA, BUT ACTIVELY SEARCHING FOR MORE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANYWHERE OUT THERE WHILE THIS GRANT IS STILL AVAILABLE. AND IF WE'VE GOT THEIR CONTRACT UNDER CONTRACT. SO I GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR NOT JUST SAYING, YEP, WE'VE GOT THE DATA, WE'RE GOOD TO GO, BUT ACTUALLY ACTIVELY TRYING TO LOOK AND, AND FIND MORE IF THERE ARE MORE WITHIN THE VILLAGE TO, TO AGAIN, UM, ELIMINATE THOSE. AND ONCE THESE ARE COMPLETED, HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR, AGAIN, THE VILLAGE OF SLINGER WILL BE THEN COMPLETED AND YOU'LL HAVE BOTH THE VILLAGE KIOS AND SLINGER HAVE THEIR LEAD LATERALS COMPLETE THE CITY WEST BEND. AND, UH, WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR THEM TO ACTUALLY WORK ON THE PROJECT LAST YEAR. READY. AND, UH, PLEASED TO SEE THEY ACTUALLY SUBMITTED REIMBURSEMENT EARLIER THIS YEAR. YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE, THE, UH, NEWS RELEASE OR PRESS RELEASE OR FACEBOOK POSTING ON THAT. UH, SO THEY GET REIMBURSED READY ABOUT $157,600 FOR THE, THE LEAD LATERALS THAT WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE CITY WEST BEND. AND THEY CONTINUE TO DO MORE, UH, THIS CALENDAR YEAR. SO WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE. THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THEIR PROJECTS AND, UH, LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THEM IN THE FUTURE. UH, WITH THAT, CERTAINLY IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. GO AHEAD, SCOTT. I HAD A QUESTION. SO WITH REGARD, UH, ON THESE PRIVATE SIDE LATERALS, JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOU KNOW, ON THAT, SO WHEN THOSE ARE REPLACED, IS THERE A COST TO THE HOMEOWNER NO. ON THAT AT ALL? CORRECT. THERE IS NO COST TO THE HOMEOWNER. WHAT WE DID WAS WHEN THE, WHEN THE GRANT WAS SET UP, WE PUT SET ASIDE ROUGHLY $5,000 PER PRIVATE SIDE LEAD LATERAL, KIND OF AS AN ESTIMATE. BUT WHAT THE, THE GRANT AGREEMENT SAYS IS WHATEVER THE COST IS, THAT'S WHAT WE WILL PAY. OH. SO YOU COULD IMAGINE THAT IF A INDIVIDUAL I'LL, I'M GONNA PICK ON THE VILLAGE OF KIOSKI. AND SO IF THE INDIVIDUAL HAD A SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, NEEDED A SIDEWALK REPLACED, THAT WAS INCLUDED. IF WE HAD A TREE THAT WAS REMOVED AND ONE OF THE TREE REPLACED THAT WAS INCLUDED, THAT'S THE LANDSCAPING, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. IF YOU'RE IN YOUR BASEMENT, YOUR BASEMENT'S FINISHED AND THEY GOTTA CUT OUT SOME DRYWALL THAT'S INCLUDED. IT'S, SO THERE SHOULD BE NO COST TO THE LANDOWNER BESIDES MAYBE SOME TIME THAT THEY HAVE TO BE PRESENT WHEN THE WORK IS COMPLETE. SO IF THEY HAVE TO TAKE OFF OF WORK TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN, UH, THAT WOULD BE, I WOULD YOU CALL THAT AN EXPENSE TO THE SURE. TO THE, TO THE PROPERTY OWNER ACCESS TO THE HOUSE. RIGHT. RIGHT. THEY HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE HOUSE TO GET IN TO DO THE WORK INSIDE, BECAUSE THE LEAD LADDER GOES ALL THE WAY INSIDE THE HOUSE, USUALLY TO YOUR WATER METER INSIDE. AND SO YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A, A SECTION OF PIPE THAT COMES INTO YOUR, BASICALLY THE FLOOR OR THROUGH YOUR WALL. IT'S A COUPLE FEET LONG MAYBE, AND THEN YOUR METER, AND THEN USUALLY COPPER ONCE YOU GET PAST THAT. SO YES, THERE SHOULD BE NO COST TO THE LANDOWNERS. THAT'S NOT TO SAY THEY MIGHT NOT DO SOMETHING THEIRSELVES AND PAINT THEMSELVES OR DO SOMETHING, BUT, OR LANDSCAPE AND WATER THEIR GRASS. UH, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THERE SHOULD BE VERY MINIMAL COST TO ANY LANDOWNER. AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION AS CRAZY IS THAT MIGHT SOUND, I MEAN, THIS IS OPTIONAL, RIGHT? LIKE IF SOMEBODY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THEIR WHITE MATTER. CORRECT. AND I, AND I, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF ANECDOTALLY TALKING TO VILLAGE SLINGER, SOMETHING LIKE THAT WAS SOME OF THEIR PROBLEMS THAT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE, IS IT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? AND AND WHY ARE YOU CONTACTING ME AND DOING IT FOR FREE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT YOU, THEY [00:25:01] DON'T WANT YOU IN THEIR HOUSES. CORRECT. OKAY. UH, SO IF IF THEY DON'T, THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THAT. CURRENTLY, THE CITY WEST BEND ACTUALLY PASSED THE ORDINANCE WHERE THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. UM, WHICH IS, IT'S NOT AN OPTION. IT'S A LITTLE CONTROVERSIAL AND WE'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. UM, AND, AND SO, UH, BUT THE VILLAGE OF SLINGER, I WAS HOPING FOR MORE OF A, A COMPLIANCE, UH, VOLUNTARILY COMPLIANCE THAN A FORCE COMPLIANCE. SO YOU, SO THERE HAVE BEEN CASES WHERE SOMEONE HAS NOT WANTED A PRIVATE SIDE FROM THE LATERAL PLACE? I HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD THAT SPECIFICALLY. I KNOW THEY HAD SOME ISSUES WITH SOME LAND OWNERS, BUT DON'T KNOW IF THEY COME AROUND OR THEY'RE STILL HOLDING OUT. I JUST, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. AND THAT'S IN SLINGER, QOS WAS A HUNDRED PERCENT COMPLETED THAT EVERYBODY THAT WAS ASKED, UH, WAS WANTING THEIR LEAD LETTER REMOVED. YEAH. AND I HAVE NOT ASKED THE CITY OF WEST BEND HOW THEY'RE, BUT YOU WOULD GUESS COMPLIANCE ASKING, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, I WOULD, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT, OR THEY DON'T, NOT PEOPLE. CORRECT. IF YOU HAVE 600 RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF WEST BEND, THERE'S A CHANCE THAT SOME WILL SAY NO. RIGHT. AND IF THE CITY WANTS TO PURSUE THAT, THAT'LL BE ON THEM. WE WILL NOT BE FORCING THEM. OKAY. THANK YOU. THE COUNTY WON'T, RIGHT? CORRECT. RIGHT, RIGHT. WHICH IS THAT. RIGHT. IT'S INTERESTING TO EVEN THINK THAT SOMEBODY WOULDN'T WANT IT REPLACED, BUT YOU MEAN YOU HAVE PEOPLE, WHETHER IT'S A PERSONAL PROPERTY THING OR THEY WANT SOMEONE COMING INTO THEIR HOME OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I MEAN, YEAH, THIS IS STILL AN THIS IS KIND OF A, JUST IN CASE IT COMES UP, IT'S A, YOU KNOWS A QUESTION. SURE, SURE. KIND OF A WILD QUESTION. BUT YOU EVER RUN INTO LIKE THOSE OLD BASEMENTS THAT ARE OLD BARNAL TYPE BASEMENTS WHERE THEY START DRILLING A HOLE OR SOMETHING AND THEY START COLLAPSING ON 'EM? OR ? I HAVE NOT BEEN OUT, I'VE NOT BEEN OUT THERE PERSONALLY. BUT I WOULD IMAGINE ALL OF THESE HOMES ARE THE OLDER PART OF THE CITY. OH, SURE. ESPECIALLY WEST BEND THAT WE'RE GETTING TO RIGHT NOW. IMAGINE SIXTH AVENUE, SEVENTH AVENUE, EIGHTH, YOU KNOW THOSE MM-HMM . UH, WHERE SOME OF THOSE CLOSER TO THE 33 ARE, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED YEARS OLDER, GIVE OR TAKE. SO I'M SURE THEY'RE OUT THERE. YEAH. UM, BUT I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN OUT TO THE SITE TO SEE ANY OF THEM. I LIVED IN ONE OF THOSE IN SLINGER FOR A WHILE. RIGHT. WITH THE BIG OLD BARN WALLS. SO, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE. WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR ONE RESOLUTION TODAY, 2025 RESOLUTION TOWN OF FARMINGTON CULVERT AND BRIDGE AID. I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION FROM SUPERVISOR GARATH, MOTION FROM SECOND FROM SUPERVISOR. ICK. DON'T ALL FIGHT OVER IT. . UH, THIS IS PROBABLY STANDARD STUFF, BUT SCOTT, YOU GOT THE FLOOR AGAIN? YES. UH, PRETTY STANDARD. THERE'S A, A LITTLE BIT OF THING IN HERE THAT [e. 2025 Resolution – Town of Farmington Culvert and Bridge Aid] THE, I WANNA POINT AT THAT SECOND PARAGRAPH IN THE REPORT THAT THE TOWN OF FARMINGTON DID SUBMIT THEIR FIRST REQUEST BACK IN JUNE OF, OF 2023. AT THE TIME THEY SUBMITTED, WE ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY IN THE FUNDS. WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE FOR 24 AND 25 BUDGET CYCLE. UH, I INTENDED TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE AFTER THE NOVEMBER OF 2023 WHEN THE NEW BUDGET, UH, WAS PASSED. AND I FAILED TO DO SO. AND I, I APOLOGIZE TO, TO THIS COMMITTEE AND AS WELL AS THE TOWN OF FARMINGTON FOR THAT, I HAVE TALKED TO THEIR, THEIR TOWN, UH, CHAIRMAN, UM, WHO'S OFFICER COUNTY BOARD SUPERVISOR. AND HE'S UNDERSTANDING OF, OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED. UH, AND THEY THEN PASSED ANOTHER RESOLUTION. UH, IT TURNS OUT THAT THEY WOULD'VE HAD TO PASS ANOTHER RESOLUTION ANYWAY, BECAUSE THE, THE PROJECT COST EXCEEDED THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE BACK FROM, FROM 2023. UM, SO, UH, NO HARM, NO FOUL REALISTICALLY, BUT, UM, BUT THEY'RE LOOKING AT HAVING A GRAND TOTAL OF 23,000 823 88, UH, FROM THE ROAD AND BRIDGE AID FUND. THE, UH, CURRENT, UH, FUND SITS AT, UH, JUST OVER $50,000. SO THAT DOES START TO DEPLETE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. UH, WE ACTUALLY JUST DID HAVE A REQUEST COME IN FROM THE TOWN OF BARTON. UM, SO WE ARE NOW GONNA BE, AGAIN, OVER THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, UH, FOR THE SECOND KIND OF BUDGET CYCLE. AS AGAIN, UH, WE WILL AGAIN BEFOREHAND, CONTACT ALL THE TOWNS, ASK THEM WHAT PRODUCTS THEY THINK THEY'RE GONNA HAVE, UH, AND THEN SET THE DOLLAR AMOUNT ACCORDINGLY. UH, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, UH, WE DON'T WANNA OVERTAX PEOPLE EITHER. WE DON'T WANT TO ASK FOR A HALF MILLION DOLLARS AND HAVE A HALF MILLION DOLLARS SITTING IN THE ACCOUNT THAT THE TAXPAYERS HAD A FUND AND NOT ACTUALLY HAVE A PROJECT FOR THEM. ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE'RE, WE'VE BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE NOW WHERE WE UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT HAVE, AND THIS YEAR AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE THE FUNDS TO ACTUALLY COMPLETELY FUND THE, THE TOWN'S REQUESTS. SO, UH, HOPEFULLY WITH THE, THE STATE OF WISCONSIN IS, UH, LAST YEAR DID AN INVENTORY, UH, ALL, EVERY MUNICIPALITY INVENTORIED, EVERY STRUCTURE THAT'S LESS THAN 20 FEET. SO IT'S GREATER THAN SIX FEET, LESS THAN 20 FEET. THEY HAD TO DO AN INVENTORY. WASHINGTON COUNTY WITH OUR GS DEPARTMENT, AGAIN, I, I GIVE THEM ALL THE PROPS, UH, CREATE AN APP. WE'VE HAD THREE TOWNSHIPS THAT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT WENT OUT THERE, INSPECTED THEIR OWN CULVERTS WITH OUR APP, WITH A GPS. THEY COULD ACTUALLY DO THAT. WE HOLD THE DATA FOR THEM. YOU CAN IMAGINE SOMETIMES TOWNS HAVE TURNOVER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE DATA WENT. THEY DON'T HAVE A MAPPING APPLICATION. THEY CAN GO OUT THERE. WE CAN ACTUALLY, OUR JS 'CAUSE EVERY CULVERT'S, UH, THINK ABOUT IT AS A SCALE FROM ONE [00:30:01] TO 10, 10 BEING IT'S BRAND NEW. ONE MEANS IT'S PROBABLY NOT EVEN REALLY THERE ANYMORE. AND WE CAN THEN DO A MAP OF, SHOW ME ALL YOUR COVERTS WITH, UH, THAT ARE THREE OR LESS AND WHERE ARE THEY, WHAT TYPE ARE THEY, HOW LONG ARE THEY ALL THAT INFORMATION? AND GET READY FROM OUR GS SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY PLAN THEIR BUDGETS NOW THIS YEAR BETTER. AND THAT IT WAS OFFERED TO EVERY TOWN, UM, CITY OR VILLAGE IN, IN THE COUNTY. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT BY THEM DOING THAT INVENTORY, THEY CAN SEE WHAT'S COMING FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS AND HELP THEM PLAN. WHICH HELPS US PLAN AND HELPS YOU AT BUDGET TIME FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT DOLLAR AMOUNT. UH, WE WERE, AND HAVE BEEN TRADITIONALLY DOING 100,000 PER YEAR. I WAS JUST GONNA ASK ABOUT THAT YET. YEP. YOU HAVE BEEN DOING A HUNDRED THOUSAND PER YEAR. SO YEAR 200,000 FOR THE TWO YEAR BUDGET CYCLE THAT YOU'RE IN. AND SO WHEN WE DID THE BUDGET AMENDMENT, WHEN YOU DID THE BUDGET AMENDMENT EARLIER, UH, WHENEVER THAT WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS 'CAUSE AT THAT TIME WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY REQUESTS. AND NOW THAT'S SUMMER'S HERE IN SPRING. MM-HMM . NOW THE REQUESTS ARE COMING BACK AGAIN. SO, UH, SO YOU MIGHT SEE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER NUMBER THAN NORMAL, BUT I WILL HAVE THE DATA AND NUMBERS TO BACK UP A HIGHER NUMBER IF THAT'S WHAT IT IS, BASED ON WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, BASED ON WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AND WHAT THEIR REQUESTS ARE. AND THEN IF YOU AS A BODY, UH, WANT TO INCREASE IT BECAUSE OF WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, THAT WOULD BE YOUR PURVIEW TO DO. BUT AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S TAXING PEOPLE FOR A PROJECT WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE. SO WE TRY TO BE AS PRUDENT WITH ALL THOSE FUNDS AS WE CAN. UH, BUT UNDERSTAND THAT THE LAST TWO BUDGET CYCLES, WE, WE HAVE UM, UNFORTUNATELY NOT BE ABLE TO FILL ALL THE REQUESTS. AND AGAIN, LAST, LAST TIME AND THIS TIME. SO, BUT GETTING BACK TO THIS ONE, THIS IS TOWN OF FARMINGTON. UH, THE BRIDGE IS COMPLETE. SO THERE WON'T BE AN ADDITIONAL ADDED COST ONTO THIS ONE IF THIS IS APPROVED BY THIS BODY AND EVENTUALLY THE COUNTY BOARD. BUT AS A TYPICAL PROJECT THAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, IS THIS, DOES THIS UH, THING FALL FOR BOTH NEW AND REPLACEMENT CULVERTS? OR IS IT JUST FOR REPLACEMENT CULVERTS REPLACEMENTS? SO IF, UH, LET'S JUST, UH, LET'S JUST SAY THERE WAS A NEW SUBDIVISION IN TOWN OF BARTON MM-HMM . FOR INSTANCE, THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT GET ROAD AND BRIDGE AID TO PUT IN A NEW CULVERT IN A DEVELOPMENT. WHAT ABOUT AN EXISTING ROAD THOUGH? EXISTING ROAD, CORRECT? YES. IF, IF THERE, LET'S SAY NEW CULVERT AND AN EXISTING ROAD, NEW CULVERT AND EXISTING ROAD, CORRECT? YES. OKAY. BECAUSE UH, SUDDEN A TOWN OF WEST BEND MIGHT BE COMING TO YOU THEN. OKAY. IT WAS ON THEIR LAST. YEP. IT'S GOTTA BE THREE FEET OR BIGGER. UH, THREE FOOT DIAMETER, BIGGER, THAT'S I'M JUST DIAMETER. OKAY. THREE FOOT DIAMETER OR LARGER. THEY MIGHT MAKE IT THREE AND A HALF JUST TO COVER IT. . UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? AND THERE'S ABOUT 27 GRAND THEN, YOU KNOW, AFTER THIS LEFT IN THAT FUND THEN SCOTT, IS THAT WHAT WOULD BE LEFT? YES. YEP. NO, NO. 'CAUSE THERE'S 50,000 ARE USING 23. SO 27. 27. OKAY. AROUND RIGHT. ROUGH FIGURES. SURE. OKAY. ALRIGHT. UH, THEN ALL APPROVED SAY AYE. AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. I BELIEVE THAT WAS IT FOR THE DAY. OUR NEXT MEETING IS JUNE 19TH, 2025. THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. * This transcript was created by voice-to-text technology.
