WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:16.719
Alright, it's 5.30. Call a meeting to order. Madam Clerk, you can call the roll, please.

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:24.440
Mayor Miller? Here. Alderpersons, Klemm? Here. Johnson? Here. Simmons is absent, Parker? Here.

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:32.119
Stacy? Here. Shadle? Here. Sanders is absent. Sellers? Here. We have a quorum, Mr. Chair.

00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:50.119
Join me for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

00:00:50.119 --> 00:01:21.909
and that brings us to approval of the agenda if I could get a motion. So move. Second. Motion by Sellers. Second by Klemm. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? That motion carries. Then we need an approval of the minutes from October 14th, 2025. So moved. Second. Motion by Parker. Second by Sellers. All in favor? Aye.

00:01:21.909 --> 00:01:29.769
Opposed? That motion carries and we're down to public comments which with the

00:01:29.769 --> 00:01:35.709
lack of anybody in the audience I would say is a no. So we'll go down to number

00:01:35.709 --> 00:01:40.469
item seven which is discussion of the following budgets by city manager Boyer.

00:01:40.469 --> 00:01:47.469
We're going to run down through public works, street budget, equipment fund for

00:01:47.469 --> 00:01:58.469
Fowler, Streets, Airport, Cemetery, Forestry, Animal Control, Traffic Engineering, Street Light, Tax, Motor Fuel Tax, and Street Improvement. Manager Boyer.

00:01:58.469 --> 00:02:11.039
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, you've gone over all of them, so I don't need to reiterate that. So let's start with Public Works.

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:27.590
So as we all know we currently are contracting out public works. This is

00:02:27.590 --> 00:02:31.150
where the public works director pay would come from. So there's currently

00:02:31.150 --> 00:02:37.849
nothing budgeted for an in-house public works director. Any questions on public

00:02:37.849 --> 00:02:50.009
works? Okay. Are we going to get a public director? Currently, Fehr Graham is providing all our public works

00:02:50.009 --> 00:02:51.009
Kessler.

00:02:51.009 --> 00:02:52.009
Director needs right now.

00:02:52.009 --> 00:02:56.849
I understand, but are we going to hire a public director?

00:02:56.849 --> 00:03:02.879
No not this time.

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.879
Okay.

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:08.879
And moving down to airport.

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.599
Obviously we've got quite a bit of work going on at the airport.

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:19.240
We've included the airport management contract and the amount that you're seeing there is

00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:28.240
We have essentially the new contract plus the estimated CPI increase for next year, which is a standard amount.

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:34.240
We also have about $100,000 in contracted building repair and maintenance.

00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:42.240
That was a carryover from 2025, and it's used to basically repair the hangar roofs.

00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:47.240
We also are budgeting about $40,000, same as 25, for the fuel system upgrades.

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.939
We've got a tank in ground tank that will need inspection and we'll look at what

00:03:53.939 --> 00:04:04.610
requirements that that will need. The fuel tank is part of the mitigation plans

00:04:04.610 --> 00:04:10.129
that's an old tank that'll have to be replaced in the next fiscal year or two

00:04:10.129 --> 00:04:15.569
in order to meet compliance. It's very similar to the situation we had at the

00:04:15.569 --> 00:04:19.689
Street Department. New regulations coming into place and this this older tank does

00:04:19.689 --> 00:04:38.689
We've got about 15,000 budgeted for engineering. So that's generally with CMT, Crawford, Murphy, Tilly. They do the work at the airport and have been for many years. They're working on a build out plan for about 10 years. We've got a 10-year program there.

00:04:38.689 --> 00:04:59.290
Skipping down, we've got the fuel. We're budgeting $100,000 for low lead and $80,000 for jet A. That's just a carryover. We did bump up the $100,000 low lead by $4,000. Skipping down a little further. Yes.

00:04:59.290 --> 00:05:01.290
Why did we bump up $4,000?

00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:08.290
I think the prices have gone up on that. I'll have to double check, but I believe that's why we did.

00:05:08.290 --> 00:05:26.290
So we're bumping it up not knowing? Yes, we expect that the cost of fuel will be more expensive this coming year and that is all getting paid back through fuel sales. So it comes back in as revenue, different place here in the budget.

00:05:26.290 --> 00:05:43.290
Alderman, Sellers. I just wanted to know, I know you had talked about equipment and hangers. How many hangers are out there that need to be, that you think should be done this year or will it carry over to 2027 also?

00:05:43.290 --> 00:06:13.290
So in terms of roof repair, I'm assuming that's what you mean. Yeah, there's, I think there's a minimum of three. Darren, do you know that off the top hand? I mean, there's, there's three for sure that need to be dealt with and there's a handful of others that need to be repaired, but do you have any? Five altogether. Okay. For this year. For 20, yeah, for 2026. Yeah, that's what I meant. Repairs or replaced? Repairs. Yep.

00:06:13.290 --> 00:06:43.290
Excuse me. We had a contractor come in and evaluate the roofs. And we were looking to replace roofs. But based on his consultation, he felt the steel while it's not pretty is in good enough shape that we can just repair the leaks and the seals and the bolts and nuts that hold it on. There's a repair method for that. And so we're moving forward with that because we can get way more for our buck. And he thinks that the roofs will, will, you know, last another 20 years as far as steelworks goes. So we're not

00:06:43.290 --> 00:06:50.290
We're not that we're kicking it down the road, but we're trying to do economy of scale to get as many of the hangers to stop leaking as possible.

00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:54.819
Might need to be some new ridge caps as well.

00:06:54.819 --> 00:06:59.819
Sure, yeah. Anything to make the existing roofs last longer and be watertight.

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:05.819
And we'll just go ahead and move down to 7052. That's IDOT grant projects.

00:07:05.819 --> 00:07:13.500
so this is mostly the city's match so includes the local share of funding for the PAPI lights

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:22.939
that's about $32,000 and terminal updates of $191,250. The remainder the $294,000 will be

00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:29.100
reimbursed through these grants offsetting the amount to be in revenue section of the general

00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:43.100
We've got a number of projects in the queue. This last item here is $517,000. It includes our match and the items that we will need to float cash flow until we get reimbursed.

00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:52.560
Okay, with that, I'd like to move on to streets. Any questions on airport? Okay.

00:07:52.560 --> 00:08:00.560
Alright, so street budget. Again, this is informed quite substantially by the amount of work that we're doing in house.

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:08.360
We have included a public works operations superintendent and assistant and

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:13.519
assistant so it's a basically one-third of this person's time will be spent in

00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.160
the street department as well as the assistant. We've also we're going to need

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.720
to update the AFSCME wages due to the fact that we've come to a contract and

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.240
it's been signed. Also we're budgeting for four summer mowers, two part-time

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.080
Potthole Patchers. So we've got about six part-time folks that we're planning to

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:39.240
hire next year in the street department. Other than that's standard staff wages

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:48.039
and benefits and withholdings. Moving on down to... Yes sir. Yeah, I just had another...

00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:53.120
you were saying you need four mowers for the summer and what else were you looking for?

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.679
So we have... we're budgeting for two summer mowers and two additional

00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:09.100
Part-Time People to do pothole patching. Draw your attention to item 6080, books,

00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:14.500
periodicals, memberships. So we're working with the auditors and they would like us

00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:20.220
to move some items in the budget. So this is why books and periodicals membership

00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:25.759
is so much higher. So we're allowed to consolidate some funds here at the

00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:30.779
auditor's direction for 2026. We're closing the projects fund and incorporating

00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:36.139
and the two items that had in the fund into the street budget.

00:09:36.139 --> 00:09:38.980
So that'd be the annual memberships fees

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:40.259
for the Gene Adams Trail.

00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:42.600
That's $20,000 per year.

00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.500
And the PEC path is $100,000, will now

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:48.059
be paid out of the street budget.

00:09:48.059 --> 00:09:50.299
So that accounts for that change.

00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:58.049
This is item 144-6080, books, periodicals, memberships.

00:09:58.690 --> 00:10:13.950
In addition, we've, you know, hit a few highline items here. Now bear in mind that new equipment is going to be coming out of capital, so that wouldn't be included in the street budget directly.

00:10:13.950 --> 00:10:26.950
But we do have some standard amounts that we've carried over from the previous year for contracted building repairs, equipment repairs, infrastructure repairs, vehicle repairs, and gear and clothing.

00:10:26.950 --> 00:10:28.389
and Clothing.

00:10:28.389 --> 00:10:32.629
So those are generally carried over from the previous year.

00:10:32.629 --> 00:10:35.029
Education, training, and travel is the same

00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:36.950
as it was last year.

00:10:36.950 --> 00:10:40.830
We have engineering at $400,000 in the street budget.

00:10:40.830 --> 00:10:43.269
So this is increased by $50,000.

00:10:43.269 --> 00:10:47.710
And it includes utility permit reviews, the compost permit,

00:10:47.710 --> 00:10:49.870
public works master services agreement.

00:10:49.870 --> 00:10:52.110
And I'm sure Darren has a few other items

00:10:52.110 --> 00:10:55.870
that we worked on this year that we used.

00:10:55.870 --> 00:11:01.470
yeah any of the general maintenance items that IDOT forces us to do all those

00:11:01.470 --> 00:11:10.569
items come out of that budget we also have street designs or specific 88 ramps

00:11:10.569 --> 00:11:13.990
things that the city workers are doing themselves that have to be designed and

00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:20.730
permitted and all those functions come out of that budget okay then moving

00:11:20.730 --> 00:11:25.409
down we've got about 60,000 for fuel diesel and the 60,000 for gasoline

00:11:25.409 --> 00:11:30.930
that's always kind of a fluid number but it's basically the same as last year. Kind

00:11:30.930 --> 00:11:35.330
of rolling down to some of these other ones we've got $20,000 in rock road

00:11:35.330 --> 00:11:40.409
material we identified that we need to increase that it's a it's about double

00:11:40.409 --> 00:11:47.450
what we did last year on that. We've got 25,000 in a sidewalk program that's

00:11:47.450 --> 00:11:54.889
increased from the previous year and then we've got 325,000 in snow removal

00:11:54.889 --> 00:11:55.889
and Stacey.

00:11:55.889 --> 00:12:09.009
Yeah, what are the rock and road material, what's that?

00:12:09.009 --> 00:12:14.470
So if we need to pick up some CA7, which is a backfill material, like it's got gravel

00:12:14.470 --> 00:12:19.330
and sand and stuff together, that would be an example of rock road material.

00:12:19.330 --> 00:12:25.009
essentially it's what we need to do base repairs or do other other types of maintenance.

00:12:25.649 --> 00:12:35.779
Twenty thousand dollars worth? Oh yeah. Grab a light Jeep. Got a few last items on the next page.

00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:49.250
I have one other question. Sure. For our streets from our plant list,

00:12:49.250 --> 00:12:58.529
We'll get that when we get into the the street maintenance that's a little later

00:12:58.529 --> 00:13:01.690
in the presentation here the Street Improvement Fund we'll talk about that

00:13:01.690 --> 00:13:08.860
just a few highlight items here machinery and equipment we're planning to

00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:13.500
purchase a sign board arrow board mulching head for the the mini excavator

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:18.539
dual freon machine transmission flush machine and a 24-foot trailer so that

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:24.419
comes to about $84,000. So that those are some of the smaller equipment we

00:13:24.419 --> 00:13:31.700
plan to purchase this year. Also looking at the capital outlay, so updated repairs

00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:40.019
to the city yards, admin building, we're budgeting $100,000 for that as well. Yep.

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:45.180
Yes, Joy. Yeah, when you were saying all the things you were, I know I got the

00:13:45.180 --> 00:13:50.539
20-foot trailer, but what were the, so all of these things are planned for next

00:13:50.539 --> 00:13:55.460
Fischer, what's the sign? Well, so if you know when we're doing road work, we need

00:13:55.460 --> 00:14:00.340
arrow boards and yeah, it essentially is a truck. We have one of them is gonna be

00:14:00.340 --> 00:14:04.019
a truck mounted one, one's a trailer mounted one. It kind of creates, you know,

00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:09.259
directs traffic around the construction zone, provides safety for the workers.

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:15.960
So the reason we want to buy sign boards is we used to have one and it was

00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:21.600
is damaged in a storm and it is no longer functional and to rent them they rent for

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:26.519
about $4,000 a week so we need to have our own when we're doing all this road construction

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.200
so we can get messages out to people quicker so they're more informed when we're working

00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.769
in areas.

00:14:32.769 --> 00:14:43.309
So this $84,500 is equipment we have already purchased or we need to?

00:14:43.309 --> 00:14:45.870
We need to and we need to replace.

00:14:45.870 --> 00:14:53.870
We have a sign board that we need to replace and the others are equipment we need to purchase and acquire.

00:14:53.870 --> 00:14:59.399
So those will come to the council individually?

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:04.399
Yes, they'll come as a resolution as we go through the 2026 year.

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:11.509
Okay, with that, I'd like to move on to Cemetery Fund.

00:15:11.509 --> 00:15:16.509
This is pretty straightforward. Not a whole lot of changes here.

00:15:16.509 --> 00:15:22.870
just touch on some high-level ones. We'll be, you know, we have a one cemetery care

00:15:22.870 --> 00:15:29.750
employee who takes care of it so the wages and benefits are here, itemized.

00:15:29.750 --> 00:15:34.149
Also, we're kind of carrying forward the supplies and equipment. Several years ago

00:15:34.149 --> 00:15:37.950
we made some investments in the mausoleum roofs. Those are pretty much

00:15:37.950 --> 00:15:42.789
done. We made some investments in new mowing equipment and that's been done.

00:15:42.789 --> 00:15:46.750
the machinery is being taken care of and maintained appropriately and because of

00:15:46.750 --> 00:15:51.110
the kind of the geometry of the machines themselves they they really saved a lot

00:15:51.110 --> 00:15:58.829
of time so this is just a carry forward from last year. Any questions on

00:15:58.829 --> 00:16:08.970
cemetery? Okay the next one is forestry again we've got three full-time employees

00:16:08.970 --> 00:16:14.889
in forestry and the wages and benefits are reflected there fairly everything's

00:16:14.889 --> 00:16:19.370
is pretty much the same as last year, except we've added a couple of items.

00:16:19.370 --> 00:16:25.490
Tree assistance, so that is when we hire outside contractors to take trees out that

00:16:25.490 --> 00:16:29.850
are too big or too dangerous for us to do.

00:16:29.850 --> 00:16:34.089
So that is included under 67, 65.

00:16:34.089 --> 00:16:42.049
And then machinery and equipment, we're budgeting $300,000 for clam truck, bucket truck, ropes,

00:16:42.049 --> 00:16:43.410
chains and pole saw.

00:16:43.410 --> 00:16:48.930
but the vast majority of us for the clam truck we're looking at replacing the the clam truck

00:16:49.889 --> 00:16:55.889
or the the apparatus on the back there that hydraulics get older things get worn out and

00:16:55.889 --> 00:17:01.089
we're looking at replacing that and then small equipment we're just doing the same thing we

00:17:01.089 --> 00:17:06.289
always do trim saws you know leaf blowers things that wear out break while we're out the field

00:17:06.289 --> 00:17:18.420
working any questions on forestry okay with that we'll hit animal control not a whole lot of changes

00:17:18.420 --> 00:17:23.700
here again standard changes on the AFSCME employee is our animal control

00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:30.019
officer contracted vehicle maintenance in 25 we had a van door repair that was

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:35.299
fairly expensive but there we've removed that for next year we don't expect to

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:39.259
have that problem again in the future and we're just adding a few items here

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:45.299
for live trap snares and tranquilizer darts so we can be effective with animal

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:54.480
control so but again yes no just with animal control are we all up to date with

00:17:54.480 --> 00:18:01.819
the the young man with the license and stuff I know we had to change yes we

00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:05.579
have a new animal control officer I don't believe he has all the the

00:18:05.579 --> 00:18:14.200
certifications yet so we're but that's something we're working on okay all

00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.960
right if there's no questions on animal control let's move on to traffic

00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:26.650
Engineering. This is kind of stoplights, streetlights, stoplights, sorry, traffic

00:18:26.650 --> 00:18:31.329
signals I meant to say. So we're anticipating replacing the crossing

00:18:31.329 --> 00:18:37.289
at 75 at Honeywell. I think it's been brought up by IDOT that it needs to be

00:18:37.289 --> 00:18:43.970
updated and replaced, so we're budgeting for that. And then of course supplies, so

00:18:43.970 --> 00:18:47.450
whatever we have to do out there to replace like light bulbs that are burned

00:18:47.450 --> 00:19:02.889
out and that kind of thing. So any questions on traffic engineering? What do we have there? What do we have on 75th and Honeywell? There's a pedestrian crossing signal there that IDOT's telling us needs to be updated.

00:19:02.889 --> 00:19:32.889
Olliver, Klemm. Rob, where does the state stuff show up at? I mean, the work that we do through the state, is that in a whole separate? Yes, that's not here. This is just traffic engineering. Like I said, this is traffic signals. So if we do a cost share on a replacement or something like that, that would be budgeted here. And thank you for the ones at Empire and Lincoln Douglas. Those have been fantastic. Empire and where?

00:19:32.889 --> 00:19:43.049
Oh, yeah. Oldman Parker? No, he has the same question. Okay. Okay, but Dad would like to move on to street lights.

00:19:45.210 --> 00:19:52.420
So we've got a few changes for this year. We're budgeting $40,000 for the Carriage Hill lights.

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:57.900
I'm sorry, $30,000 for Carriage Hill and an additional $10,000 for unexpected repairs.

00:19:57.900 --> 00:19:59.059
and all 10,000 for unexpected repairs.

00:19:59.059 --> 00:20:00.759
I don't know if anyone's been on Carriage Hill,

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:01.680
but when they built it,

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:03.940
they put these little cantonary lights

00:20:03.940 --> 00:20:08.319
that are not very good and they're broken.

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:09.160
They're very old.

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.319
And so we're looking at what we can do

00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:13.960
to at least fix the ones that we have.

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.440
The wire was kind of just direct buried in the ground.

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:19.400
We're thinking that it's broken somewhere,

00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:20.680
but we're not entirely sure

00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.240
what we're gonna end up spending on that.

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.740
But we wanted to put something in here

00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:25.579
for a budget on Carriage Hill.

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:31.079
then we've got electrical expense that would be back to your you know the cost

00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:35.720
of the streetlights and then or the electrical bill associated with them and

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:40.839
then crosswalk signs I'm sorry supplies and equipment include crosswalk signs

00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:45.559
and machinery equipment include filters for all the traffic signal boxes they

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.640
have a fan that keeps all the electronics cool and we have to replace

00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.000
those filters so any questions on streetlights?

00:20:52.000 --> 00:21:25.460
Stacy. Yes. Yes. So you're budgeting $40,000 and you said $30,000 is going to go to Carriage Hill. Yes, $30,000 was like a loose figure that we had to repair them. They've been, I don't think they've functioned in many years. And it's, it's kind of a challenging issue because we're not sure exactly what's wrong there. Okay, so is the other $10,000 going to be for neighborhoods? Yes, we could see what we could do with that for sure. Absolutely. Okay.

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:33.440
any other questions on streetlights? All right motor fuel tax and I Tom this might be what you were referring to a minute ago

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.160
so as you can see we've got about

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:43.200
About a million dollars coming into the motor fuel tax on the revenue side and about a million going out and work

00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.160
We're budgeting a hundred thousand dollars in crack sealing obviously

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.359
We have to protect the investment that we've made over the last many years

00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:52.359
Fowler.

00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:54.640
This is the first step to doing that.

00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.859
So we route the cracks that have formed over a period of time and we fill them with mastic

00:21:58.859 --> 00:22:00.359
material.

00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:01.880
And then we have rock road material.

00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:06.940
This is basically our asphalt for city-led projects.

00:22:06.940 --> 00:22:13.559
So we're looking at spending about $998,000 on road material.

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:14.559
Any questions on MFT?

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:20.519
You said this is our streets, what I was talking about earlier?

00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:26.860
This is part of it. This is part of it. So these are for the street department led projects.

00:22:26.860 --> 00:22:35.099
So this is the materials for our pavers so we can pave the streets. Okay. Any other questions

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:44.860
on motor fuel fund? Now this is the one everybody was I think referring to a minute ago. This

00:22:44.860 --> 00:22:50.480
is the street improvement fund. So that's where we bring in the 1% sales tax. We're

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:56.559
for budgeting revenue of about $3.7 million, and then we're also bringing in additional

00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:04.680
$220,000 from electric tax, $155,000 through natural gas taxes, road improvement fees of

00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:12.680
$252,000, that's your water bill, and then interest income on whatever accumulates in

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.680
the account.

00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:20.639
So in 2026 we'll be allocating approximately $500,000 for engineering,

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:30.720
30,000 for rock road material, 30,000 for paint supplies and markings, and 3.3 million dollars

00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:37.360
for the 2026 road program. And then we'll also have a transfer to debt service because we

00:23:37.360 --> 00:23:41.920
pay for our bonds, we have a couple of bonds that we are paying for through this fund.

00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:46.119
and the total build out of the streets.

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.599
I don't know, Darren, if you can pull that up quickly here

00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.960
and maybe just go over that.

00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:52.680
It's a timely moment to kind of go over that.

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.400
Sure.

00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:58.880
So the 26 Road Program, we have budgeted based off the list

00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.240
that we made a couple of years ago.

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.559
And we have some added projects to that as well.

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:07.799
It's a total of just over $6 million in expenditures

00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:08.759
for next year.

00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.240
Some of them have water improvements on them as well.

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.400
that's where the additional funds come from.

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.360
So the first project is Dewey Street from Walnut to Locust.

00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:21.900
That project cost is 675,000, I'm just gonna round them.

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:25.819
We have the two sections we're committed to on Gladewood,

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:28.139
they're about 135,000.

00:24:28.139 --> 00:24:32.599
We have Pershing Street, Chicago to Carroll Avenue,

00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:36.940
that reconstruction is gonna cost about $365,000.

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:39.380
Pershing got bought on because we're intending

00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:42.599
to fix South Carroll, and Pershing has to be addressed

00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:44.400
as well, because there's a storm issue

00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:46.599
that holds a lot of water against Carroll Street.

00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:49.500
So in order to do one, we had to do the other.

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.599
We also have the municipal parking lot.

00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:56.220
We were gonna try to get that done this year,

00:24:56.220 --> 00:24:58.099
but it's gonna push to next year.

00:24:58.099 --> 00:25:02.059
And we also have the alley at the police facility behind us

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:03.860
that most of the squad cars use.

00:25:03.860 --> 00:25:07.000
Total project for that is about a million dollars.

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:16.639
Dott, South Demeter Drive, Empire to West Demeter Drive, so basically that's from Empire

00:25:16.639 --> 00:25:23.839
Street to La Cresta, then La Cresta to basically I believe it's Hillcrest, that needs all new

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:29.920
water main on it and new street, so that project is about $1.2 million.

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:37.400
Benton Avenue from Winslow to Wyandotte, there's a section in there that needs new water main

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:39.880
and that's a new street replacement.

00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:43.639
The projected cost is $1.3 million.

00:25:43.639 --> 00:25:47.559
Stewart Avenue from Stevenson Street to Winter Drive.

00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.079
That section needs new water main as well.

00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:53.960
Total cost of that project is 469,000.

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:58.639
Concord Drive was an addition from this year.

00:25:58.639 --> 00:26:03.059
We actually put this street on and took one street off.

00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:08.059
Concord is a total cost of about $500,000.

00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.139
It's just gonna be a street replacement,

00:26:14.139 --> 00:26:16.579
very poor condition street.

00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:21.539
Seminole Drive was from the budget for this year,

00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:26.539
about $122,000, it's one of the smallest sections we have.

00:26:26.579 --> 00:26:28.860
South Park Crest, as I noted before,

00:26:28.860 --> 00:26:31.180
that one was removed with the permission

00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:34.460
of Alderman Klemm this year, and will be pushed to next year

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:37.539
because we just kind of ran out of some funding.

00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:42.139
And our final project then will be Carroll Avenue,

00:26:42.139 --> 00:26:44.619
which is in addition to this year, it wasn't on.

00:26:44.619 --> 00:26:46.700
We kind of started Carroll

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:49.500
and the street department wanted to finish it.

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:53.500
So that's going to be a surface reconditioning

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:57.500
on that project at a cost of about $525,000.

00:26:57.500 --> 00:26:59.619
So that'll be from Empire to South Street.

00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:08.019
What is the repairs for Seminole? Seminole's complete surface replacement. It's alligator

00:27:08.019 --> 00:27:12.500
cracked and there's the manholes are about four inches out of the ground which cars are

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:20.339
clipping the manholes underneath and that was Seminole was on our our project list that

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:27.380
was established by the council. So what would cause that? Sinking of the base is what's

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:32.259
going on over there we addressed some of those streets last year not last year

00:27:32.259 --> 00:27:36.259
the year before that we ran out of money to finish Seminole so Seminole got

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:42.579
selected and pushed to 2026 program. Can I have a copy of your reports on the

00:27:42.579 --> 00:27:50.339
different streets you just gave? Certainly. Alderman Sellers. I was gonna ask for a list of all the

00:27:50.339 --> 00:27:56.500
streets you just named. Yep. We just finished this up last week so yeah we'll get it to

00:27:56.500 --> 00:28:04.519
everyone. Okay and the last item is capital equipment fund. So under the

00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:08.059
revenue side we've got about a hundred and seventy thousand dollars that's two

00:28:08.059 --> 00:28:14.860
cents per gallon of gas on at city limits and then we also receive nine

00:28:14.860 --> 00:28:19.660
hundred thousand dollars from general fund so we transfer that into the capital

00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:23.700
equipment fund. As far as expenditures we've already gone over the police

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:30.579
Police Department. So for other vehicles, we're going to be looking at enterprise buyouts

00:28:30.579 --> 00:28:35.799
so that several years ago, we did several enterprise leases and for pickup trucks and

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:42.099
other runabouts, we'll be buying some of those out. We're also going to be, we've budgeted

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:48.139
for a 10 yard and a five yard dump truck, and then dump body for the hook lift trucks.

00:28:48.139 --> 00:28:52.019
We have two hook lift trucks down at the yards. We use them pretty much only in the winter

00:28:52.019 --> 00:29:07.019
We've got some machinery. We've been requested that we acquire an additional roller for our paving crews and also as we move down here, we've got various lease interest and principal payments. So any questions on the Capital Equipment Fund?

00:29:07.019 --> 00:29:17.360
Acquire an additional roller for our paving crews and also as we move down here, we've got various lease interest and principal payments.

00:29:17.360 --> 00:29:19.980
So any questions on the Capital Equipment Fund?

00:29:24.179 --> 00:29:26.740
Okay, that concludes my presentation from the budget.

00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:29.940
Is there any other discussion?

00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:34.840
Seeing none,

00:29:34.840 --> 00:29:37.960
open to public comments, agenda or non-agenda.

00:29:41.549 --> 00:29:43.549
And seeing none, I take a motion for adjournment.

00:29:43.549 --> 00:29:50.990
So moved. I second. Motion by Sellers, second by Johnson. All in favor? Aye. Opposed?

00:29:50.990 --> 00:29:57.230
Thank you. We're gonna take a few minutes. We'll start in about three or four minutes.
