WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.000
I think so, yes, that sounds good, yeah, it's our public safety page, the rest will be good.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:20.000
I'd like to call the meeting to order, it's Thursday, May 14th, 5 o'clock, and this is the meeting of the Public Works Committee.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:29.000
I thank Mr. Newton for pitch hitting for me last month in my absence, so thank you, sir.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:35.000
With that, I'd like to call meeting to order and item 2.0 is the approval of the agenda.

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.000
Is there a motion to approve the agenda?

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.000
Moved by Mr. Jogerst.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.000
I'll make a second.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.000
Second by Mrs. Williams.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Any questions or discussions on the agenda?

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.000
Aye.

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.000
The agenda is approved.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:56.560
Item 3.0, the review and approval of the meeting minutes from last month, April 9th, 26th.

00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.560
Moved to approve.

00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.079
And we move the motion to approve.

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.880
Second by Mr. Newton, any discussion?

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.920
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:07.920
Aye.

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:09.920
Motion is approved.

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:14.920
4.0, the approval of the claims, a light month this month.

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.920
113,532 and 53 cents.

00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:21.959
It's a pleasure to meet you.

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:24.439
It was approved,

00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.359
have a motion to approve by Mr. Newton

00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:27.879
and a second by Mr. Moderow.

00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.159
Any discussion or questions on the clients?

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.599
I have a question.

00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:34.959
Yes.

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.439
On page 20 of that, but you can answer it.

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.640
Sir, Barks a lot.

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.560
It was 980.

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.599
Yeah, that's the rent of the building.

00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.439
I thought, I didn't think it was that high.

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:48.400
Yeah, that's the same.

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.239
It's always been by me, maybe.

00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.079
Okay, sorry, I thought it was less than that.

00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:55.439
Fair question.

00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:56.280
No.

00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:57.120
Any others?

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.400
Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the claims,

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:02.239
say aye.

00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:03.079
Aye.

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.599
Motion has been approved.

00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.879
Public comments, 5.0, I don't see anybody here

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:10.840
from the public this evening.

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.560
So we'll move right into the department reports

00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.400
and animals controls.

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.960
Okay, for the month of April, we took in 20 cats.

00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.539
Three were surrenders, 14 were city strays,

00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:27.840
two were county strays, and one was a bite order

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.319
that was not current on gravy,

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.659
so it had to be quarantined at our facility.

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.960
11 were transferred to rescues, one was adopters,

00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.919
which are still available for adoption.

00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.479
And we had one, like one week old kitten that passed away.

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:55.560
For dog intakes we had 15 total, five surrenders, seven county strays, one city, and two that were county strays but then later on were signed over.

00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:07.560
Two are adoptable, seven were reclaimed, one was transferred to the city, two were put down due to the behavior, and three were adopted.

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.439
So two of the adopted ones were the two county strays that were signed over.

00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:18.360
We actually, the finder adopted one and then our friend adopted one.

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.159
So it kind of worked out they were with us very short time.

00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.240
I did the current inventory a little different.

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.360
We currently have nine adoptable cats, 15 on hold.

00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.719
Um, that includes anything under eight weeks old or bomb and kittens.

00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:44.719
We have one boarding. That cat is, her owner is going through some domestic issues and we're just babysitting the cat until she can get on her feet.

00:03:44.719 --> 00:04:00.719
So we have 25 cats currently. Dogs, we have 13 adoptable, two that are on hold. I believe those two are ones that one had surgery and the other one we're working with a rescue currently.

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.560
one up foster, so we have 16 dogs right now,

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.199
which is down from last month a lot.

00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.080
So we did good.

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.000
We pushed some animals out

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.399
and got a lot of adoption and stuff.

00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.680
For Jessica Jones, that case, one of...

00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.439
So basically, this two years that we've been fighting,

00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.720
she now claimed that the Great Dane,

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.000
which is the main one we were taking out of the fort

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:39.170
not her dog. Proof, we don't really have proof. We could go in front of the bench, you know, the

00:04:39.170 --> 00:04:46.930
judge and hope that we win, but it was easier for her. We dismissed that case and she signed the

00:04:46.930 --> 00:04:52.850
other dog over. Since the Great Dame was with us for two years, he's technically straight whole time

00:04:52.850 --> 00:04:58.449
up. He's ours. And then the one that she claimed is hers, which we didn't have neglect for,

00:04:58.449 --> 00:05:00.410
before she signed that one up.

00:05:00.410 --> 00:05:03.370
So we got custody of bulldogs at the end.

00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:04.889
Not the outcome I wanted,

00:05:04.889 --> 00:05:08.529
but she probably wouldn't pay her bill anyway.

00:05:08.529 --> 00:05:13.170
So Andrew Christ has got a bench trial

00:05:13.170 --> 00:05:15.649
for his running at large tickets.

00:05:15.649 --> 00:05:19.930
And then Mary Manke, which is the cocker,

00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:23.610
she had a court and it basically was ones

00:05:23.610 --> 00:05:26.689
that they were just discussing the payment.

00:05:26.689 --> 00:05:28.009
She's been paying on time.

00:05:28.009 --> 00:05:29.230
so there was nothing done.

00:05:29.230 --> 00:05:30.670
She got it in her court date.

00:05:31.689 --> 00:05:34.730
Other information, kitten season is here.

00:05:34.730 --> 00:05:37.529
We took 17 kittens in on 5-5,

00:05:37.529 --> 00:05:42.269
which over half have been transferred out to other shelters.

00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:47.129
I had two dogs that were running at large

00:05:47.129 --> 00:05:49.449
that were from the same owner

00:05:49.449 --> 00:05:52.209
who have been running at large multiple times.

00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:55.430
His bill was $450 to us.

00:05:55.430 --> 00:06:00.430
The one has ran five or six times.

00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:02.430
The other one was up to three.

00:06:02.430 --> 00:06:06.110
So his bill, we didn't go that far on our pricing.

00:06:06.110 --> 00:06:10.610
So we'll have to maybe discuss more on that.

00:06:11.550 --> 00:06:15.870
Starting to move equipment, office equipment to metals drive.

00:06:15.870 --> 00:06:19.230
And Nate is working on getting internet

00:06:19.230 --> 00:06:24.230
and phone hookup there and then funds are up.

00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:27.470
were up, we had that large donation check come in.

00:06:27.470 --> 00:06:30.350
So that brought it up quite a bit.

00:06:30.350 --> 00:06:35.350
I also had a check from the Belgian Tavern Rescue.

00:06:36.990 --> 00:06:39.750
They took a dog from us that went to the college

00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:44.189
and got fully vetted there and they donated $250 to us.

00:06:44.189 --> 00:06:46.990
So that went in just the general donations

00:06:46.990 --> 00:06:50.069
that they go to mental drive, but yeah, so we had that.

00:06:50.069 --> 00:06:54.550
and then a lady that does the paint classes.

00:06:54.550 --> 00:06:56.230
She did one at Lena Brewery

00:06:56.230 --> 00:06:58.629
and she donated money from that,

00:06:58.629 --> 00:07:00.230
whatever she made from that too.

00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:01.709
And she said she'd like to do more.

00:07:01.709 --> 00:07:07.959
So maybe in the new building, we might do stuff like that too.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.319
And that's it for that.

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.319
The revenue, I'm gonna start down a little bit

00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.319
on registrations and pickups.

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.240
but everything else is in, not in the red.

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:32.920
We're still ahead.

00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.279
I know we're still over what we're supposed to be.

00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.519
So we'll pay there.

00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:41.959
I did pay Elvers.

00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.360
I probably should have turned it into the insurance company

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.699
but I didn't know how long that was going to take.

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:48.839
So that's one of my claims.

00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.980
I didn't want the local person not to get paid

00:07:51.980 --> 00:07:56.980
but I did submit the fire bill came in

00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.759
and that went to the insurance company.

00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.759
He is, we mailed, I mailed the title to him signed by Georgia.

00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:11.620
So then he will get that and then the van will be removed.

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:17.120
We will get a check of a little under 3000.

00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:20.759
It might be a little less because of the other bill

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.560
and he'll call and have the token whatever company come get it

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.759
and then he'll take it to the selfish art.

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:27.600
So.

00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:28.920
I have a question about that query.

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:29.759
Yeah.

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.199
We'll get you sometime in two minutes.

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.440
The insurance, the person we're working with the insurance.

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:36.279
James.

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.440
When will we get paid?

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.639
I'm just doing with the email in Georgia and I discussed.

00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.080
The email from the insurance company

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.840
said sometime before you get paid.

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:47.679
Yes.

00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:48.500
Okay.

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:50.279
You want me to, I thought you were on an email.

00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.120
was not. How much was the claim you paid to Alvers?

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.000
The claim that Alvers was $171.80.

00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.480
Yeah. And like I said, I wasn't even thinking.

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.639
I just got the bill and it did.

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.399
Next time we need to wait for the insurance check.

00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.080
I'll send you that email though. Sometimes you're James.

00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:30.480
Otherwise. Okay. I'm going to be really sort of stupid here. You've got ending fund $42,422.65, ending fund of what?

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:39.440
So that's the, that's, I'm sorry. That's the monthly, that's where we ended for the month. The total of what's in the bank right now.

00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:40.440
In the checking account?

00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:41.440
Yes.

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.720
This is what you have in the checking account for animal control.

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.220
Yes, as of I think it was a few days into May.

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:50.059
Okay.

00:09:50.059 --> 00:09:55.690
Yes, that's from Adrian.

00:09:55.690 --> 00:09:57.529
Any other questions?

00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:07.379
There was a report that showed the running balance of the bank fund for fund 16.

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:11.740
I don't see it in your list, but we were doing that.

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:12.740
Okay.

00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:17.740
So just having the ending, having each month?

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:23.820
Just the fund balance from the Treasurer's Chief.

00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:24.820
Okay.

00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:25.820
Yeah, that's what that is.

00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:26.820
Right.

00:10:26.820 --> 00:10:27.820
Yeah.

00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:47.820
Yeah. Okay. If I may, unless there's other questions about your van, your new van, do you have a cage in there to separate the back or the cargo area from your van?

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:49.820
I do not.

00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:58.820
But I meant, it would be nice, but I meant they're all in cages 90% of the time.

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:03.819
But do you have them strapped down? They're just usually just set into the van?

00:11:03.819 --> 00:11:09.819
Those cages can't move. They're so tight in there. They're not, they're not moving.

00:11:09.819 --> 00:11:17.819
Yeah. I mean, it would be nice. Sometimes I get the large dogs that won't go in a cage, but that's very rare.

00:11:17.819 --> 00:11:18.819
here.

00:11:18.819 --> 00:11:24.740
Usually I can manhandle them enough to get them to coax them to go in a cage, but there's

00:11:24.740 --> 00:11:30.539
been times where I get the great pair of knees that absolutely will not, and then I end up

00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:35.580
tying them in the back, which they still can't get to me, they're tied, but, and there's

00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:41.539
ways that there's actually hooks in that van that I can tie them like I did in the old

00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:42.539
van.

00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:45.819
Not saying they can't chew through something, but...

00:11:45.819 --> 00:11:53.059
My concern is for your safety, driving the van and something happens, God forbid, but

00:11:53.059 --> 00:11:55.220
the dog cages flying around.

00:11:55.220 --> 00:12:01.259
No, they're, yeah, the big dog cages, they're so tight in there, they can't move.

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:08.549
Or if you roll the vans, they would come over.

00:12:08.549 --> 00:12:11.549
I still don't think they could come over the...

00:12:11.549 --> 00:12:14.549
That's not, put that in the atmosphere.

00:12:14.549 --> 00:12:28.470
or even I was thinking about getting maybe looking into like the SUV ones that have just the like

00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:34.069
three bars not so much the full but like up top you know how they have it so the dog can't get

00:12:34.069 --> 00:12:39.909
into the front maybe one of those I don't think you need a full one because I don't know how that

00:12:39.909 --> 00:12:42.549
that would work with the seats in, breaks in.

00:12:43.509 --> 00:12:44.909
But I was going to look into that

00:12:44.909 --> 00:12:46.210
to see if that would work.

00:12:49.069 --> 00:12:52.230
Oh, and the van's working out very nice.

00:12:52.230 --> 00:12:53.069
Can you give us an update

00:12:53.069 --> 00:12:55.389
on your transition to your new home?

00:12:55.389 --> 00:13:00.389
Well, once Nate gets the internet and the phone in there,

00:13:00.750 --> 00:13:02.789
we can work out of there.

00:13:02.789 --> 00:13:05.590
I mean, the animals won't be there until the kennels come in,

00:13:05.590 --> 00:13:10.590
but hopefully I may open soon.

00:13:11.750 --> 00:13:13.789
Security cameras.

00:13:13.789 --> 00:13:17.230
Once we get the internet, Nate, I talked to Nate

00:13:17.230 --> 00:13:20.470
about doing the Blink ones and he said

00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:23.110
he'd probably go with Janssen for everything.

00:13:24.149 --> 00:13:26.149
It probably won't save us enough money

00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:28.750
and that way they're all the same system

00:13:28.750 --> 00:13:30.789
and continuous instead of the Blink

00:13:30.789 --> 00:13:33.590
which relies on internet and blah, blah, blah.

00:13:33.590 --> 00:13:35.610
and Fandonette goes out then.

00:13:35.610 --> 00:13:40.799
So, yeah.

00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.019
I have a question.

00:13:44.019 --> 00:13:46.340
Does, do we need to contact Wally

00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:49.500
to have the outdoor runs cleaned up

00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:51.100
and followed or anything?

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:52.039
No.

00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:52.879
None?

00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.440
Nope, I mow the play yard

00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.220
and the owners have somebody mow the big yards,

00:13:57.220 --> 00:14:00.259
which the play yard doesn't take long.

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:01.539
And I do that on my own time.

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:03.620
So, yeah.

00:14:03.620 --> 00:14:07.220
Nope, we're not responsible for that.

00:14:07.220 --> 00:14:10.500
OK. Can you move the cats over?

00:14:11.620 --> 00:14:14.940
I could, but I kind of want to wait until the office is over there.

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:17.059
Oh, right. Yeah, yeah.

00:14:17.059 --> 00:14:19.180
I was just thinking. Yes, yes, yes.

00:14:19.180 --> 00:14:20.660
I was once I had a phone.

00:14:20.660 --> 00:14:22.660
Yeah, I'll move the cats over first.

00:14:22.660 --> 00:14:28.920
OK. Yeah, yeah.

00:14:28.920 --> 00:14:31.920
And your idea about the signs?

00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:33.839
Probably not a bad idea.

00:14:33.839 --> 00:14:36.240
OK. To put them maybe at both places.

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.160
Yeah. The old place and the new place.

00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:58.960
Well, and even at the highway, if I leave, yeah, I usually do, if Beth or Nicole are going to be out, I usually put a sign that has myself on it. Call me. If you have any questions, I'll help you. And if I'm right down the road.

00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:06.000
Yeah, well, that's the thing is, is I think, and I honestly, I think during this transition into people get used to the new place.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:12.079
You can tell the few people that came in for takes that are getting one-year takes or even

00:15:12.079 --> 00:15:13.079
three-year takes.

00:15:13.079 --> 00:15:14.079
I'm like, now we're moving.

00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:20.559
So here's where you're going to go next year.

00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:28.920
Your donations have worked well, especially with the big donation from Julez.

00:15:28.920 --> 00:15:32.200
You have other ideas moving in in the summer?

00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:55.039
I think Auto Smart is out on 20th, the old visitor station. I think he wants to do a fundraiser for us. And then I had a bank that was thinking about doing a fundraiser for us too. And I'd like to go back to Lena Brewery. I'd like to go back.

00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.440
Did you contact Julie Menninge?

00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:03.440
I haven't been able to yet, but I am, that is on my radar.

00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.440
Would it be improper to stop by the house?

00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.440
If we think?

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.440
Do you have a phone number at home?

00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.440
No.

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.440
So that's our practice.

00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:22.440
Yeah, because it was just a check with her name and we kind of figured out the address, we think.

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.440
So I don't know, send her a letter first?

00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:48.440
We need to make contact, as opposed to if you've tried to make contact and she doesn't respond.

00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:55.039
You want to make sure she wants her gold-plated bench.

00:16:55.039 --> 00:17:03.039
Whatever she wants. I'll give her. Do you want a bell that every animal will adopt? I'll ring the bell.

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.039
She's very gracious. Yes. Absolutely.

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:12.039
Do we know the internet provider? Are we putting the internet in or is that something?

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:24.099
It would be whatever the county uses. Yeah.

00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:26.860
cause that's one thing we have to provide, is our internet.

00:17:31.139 --> 00:17:32.299
Any other questions?

00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:34.460
All right, we'll move on now.

00:17:34.460 --> 00:17:35.299
All right.

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:42.500
Dale, what have you got going for us today?

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:47.420
The past month, we did place shoulder stone

00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:50.099
on Winnipeg Road and River Road.

00:17:51.180 --> 00:17:55.819
Cleaned up downed trees and county roads from storms.

00:17:55.819 --> 00:18:00.700
We spent Friday evening of the tornado and Lena.

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:06.299
We were there Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, cleaning up trees up there.

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:12.740
Um, I don't know, we probably hauled a couple hundred loads of trees out there.

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:16.299
Tanning loads and it was tight after a while.

00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:17.940
It's hard to keep track.

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:25.339
Then we also had to fix some gravel washouts on shoulders after those storms.

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:40.820
Of course, patching potholes, ditch cleaning, we've done a lot of ditch cleaning on Goldline Road and Kent Road, and also some on Pearl City Road. We also replaced the driveway pipe on Pearl City Road.

00:18:40.820 --> 00:18:52.820
The gentleman wants to replace his driveway, so the pipe was starting to get bad, so we replaced that in preparation for him to do his driveway.

00:18:52.820 --> 00:19:00.980
the city tore out an A gutter on Orangeville Road and preparation for the Golden Place Recycling

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:08.579
project that's going to take place later this summer on that road and then we repaired a section

00:19:08.579 --> 00:19:17.940
of guardrail on Winslow Road from an accident. No report on it so I don't really know what happened

00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:24.340
or if it'll ever get reported but it needs to be fixed it so that's given to you.

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:36.320
Questions for Scott, have you seen an update on your truck, your ones that we have on order?

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:44.720
Yeah, I actually talked to him today, November. The unfortunate thing is I talked to

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:50.880
the guy at Monroe, which we haven't, I'm working on the specs for that right now, I'm getting that

00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.519
Uh, done.

00:19:57.549 --> 00:20:01.150
At one point, they were 400 days out.

00:20:01.150 --> 00:20:09.150
Moderow, if you drove up to Moderow and looked at the lot behind the Moderow truck, you would know why.

00:20:09.150 --> 00:20:12.549
There's trucks plastering the whole side of it.

00:20:12.549 --> 00:20:15.549
Is that once they get the truck?

00:20:15.549 --> 00:20:17.549
Or once we place the order?

00:20:17.549 --> 00:20:19.549
No, once we place the order.

00:20:19.549 --> 00:20:26.430
so they're hoping to make some changes to shorten that time to

00:20:28.670 --> 00:20:37.789
he says the salesman told me that administration up there wants to knock that down to 90 days

00:20:37.789 --> 00:20:44.190
because he said that's not he didn't see anywhere for that's feasible at all to get that done

00:20:44.190 --> 00:20:51.589
so but he's thinking maybe six months if they get everything more places that are

00:20:51.589 --> 00:20:56.230
manufacturing for him to get stuff moving ahead but yeah right now it's

00:20:56.230 --> 00:21:00.509
probably looking like if we we get the chassis towards the end of the year and

00:21:00.509 --> 00:21:08.869
it'll probably be by the end of hopefully by the winter of 2017 if you get it and

00:21:08.869 --> 00:21:19.869
And Bonnell's no better. I've talked to somebody down there and we got a snowplow from them last year.

00:21:19.869 --> 00:21:25.869
That took, how long did that take? That was like a year. I finally called them and said, where's this at?

00:21:25.869 --> 00:21:29.869
Or something like that. Yeah. And that's just a snowplow. A simple.

00:21:29.869 --> 00:21:38.910
So it's, it's just crazy right now. It's when I first started, we would order a truck. We take bids on a truck in January.

00:21:40.349 --> 00:21:45.230
We turn around and do bids when we know what we were getting, do bids for the snow and ice equipment.

00:21:45.789 --> 00:21:49.869
After that, and we would have the truck by December of that same year.

00:21:51.390 --> 00:21:55.470
It was that quick a turnaround. We'd have them, we'd have the chassis in 90 days.

00:21:55.470 --> 00:22:02.470
and then it was a quick turnaround, you know, outfitted. Now we're at three years plus.

00:22:02.470 --> 00:22:03.470
Yeah.

00:22:03.470 --> 00:22:07.470
I have to mention the cost, that is probably...

00:22:07.470 --> 00:22:14.470
And I wanted to get this chassis ordered because the emissions goes up, so it'll have the old emissions on it.

00:22:14.470 --> 00:22:23.470
The new stuff is coming out the end of this year and into 27 that I...

00:22:23.470 --> 00:22:51.470
I don't really want to deal with that, let somebody else deal with the first year or two of that I think and we'll see how it goes so yeah that's the pretty much the scoop on that so and he said November-ish, Bill, I think the start of the build date was November so I would guess we would get it in December so yeah.

00:22:51.470 --> 00:22:55.470
Any other questions for Scott?

00:22:55.470 --> 00:22:59.470
Any concerns?

00:22:59.470 --> 00:23:08.470
In fact, you've got the Harvard Department update. I've highlighted anything updated since the last meeting of our 2026 construction.

00:23:08.470 --> 00:23:13.470
Our CIR for Orangeville Road that was lit last month.

00:23:13.470 --> 00:23:18.470
The low bid came in 22% over the engineer's estimate.

00:23:18.470 --> 00:23:30.110
So I talked to Scott and we decided to reject it. We only had one bidder, and the one bidder knew he was the only bidder in advance, so I'm thinking, yes.

00:23:31.630 --> 00:23:41.710
Anyways, we shortened the project, revised a few things, and we're going to resubmit it, and we'll go to re-bid on June 12th.

00:23:41.710 --> 00:23:47.950
so hopefully we've only gotten well in eight years we've had two bidders

00:23:49.470 --> 00:23:54.509
either Dunn or WK out of Wisconsin they kind of alternate and gets it ends up being a little

00:23:54.509 --> 00:24:00.509
bitter in that time frame we've had two other contractors that bid on it but they've never

00:24:00.509 --> 00:24:08.430
been successful so WK called me before the lady told me that they had too much work in the books

00:24:08.430 --> 00:24:15.230
so they couldn't, they couldn't bid on the project. So he's hoping when we re-bid it that maybe they'll

00:24:15.230 --> 00:24:21.549
get their paperwork properly taken care of. So we'll see what happens. I hope, hope we get to

00:24:23.069 --> 00:24:32.670
get a good bid next month. Item D, West Point, those planes are, we got that set for June 2nd

00:24:32.670 --> 00:24:40.029
Lending. The other bridge is we started construction last week and they've already driven file on that

00:24:40.029 --> 00:24:45.789
job so it's going on pretty quick. The next one we got another bridge in West Point that's on a June

00:24:45.789 --> 00:24:54.029
2nd letting. We had a material letting for our seal coat work. Flint Hills was a little bitter

00:24:54.029 --> 00:25:04.549
for the bituminous work, got to excavating a little bit of the ag work, so their agreement

00:25:04.549 --> 00:25:06.869
is in your packet for later.

00:25:06.869 --> 00:25:16.150
Another update that just happened on McCommer Road intersection, item H, you got to review

00:25:16.150 --> 00:25:23.150
the pre-final plan back from IDOT, a program is going to get final plan completed by next

00:25:23.150 --> 00:25:28.509
Sweet, and I got said they wanted to put out the joint agreement on that project.

00:25:28.509 --> 00:25:32.190
So I'm optimistic we'll get that built yet this year.

00:25:32.190 --> 00:25:35.470
So a lot more optimistic than it was a month ago.

00:25:35.470 --> 00:25:40.430
So that's it on the construction project.

00:25:40.430 --> 00:25:43.309
In fact, it also is the brick program.

00:25:43.309 --> 00:25:49.150
I updated that to show the current status of our project.

00:25:49.150 --> 00:25:53.029
Everything in green is work that's been finished,

00:25:53.029 --> 00:25:55.269
actually finished since I've been here.

00:25:55.269 --> 00:25:57.230
In purple is the two projects that we've got

00:25:57.230 --> 00:25:59.369
under construction this year.

00:25:59.369 --> 00:26:03.950
I've got two projects set to be left next year.

00:26:03.950 --> 00:26:07.150
Those are both Township Bridge Program projects.

00:26:08.029 --> 00:26:13.029
In yellow is work I've got coming up in 2028.

00:26:13.029 --> 00:26:27.509
We've got the Oniko, that is funded, the project in Lauren Road District, which is a big job.

00:26:27.509 --> 00:26:30.869
They're working on the plan, but I do not have funding for that project yet.

00:26:30.869 --> 00:26:35.910
So we'll get the plan going along, and there's supposed to be a Notice of Funding Opportunity

00:26:35.910 --> 00:26:38.950
for Bridge projects coming up later this summer.

00:26:38.950 --> 00:26:47.990
so we'll apply, I've applied twice and both times we weren't successful so we're gonna try again so

00:26:49.029 --> 00:26:57.029
and then in blue I've got some repair projects on Firewall Bridge Road and the other ones

00:26:57.029 --> 00:27:02.789
on Bolton Road and those are big projects so I don't have those funded yet but that no

00:27:02.789 --> 00:27:11.789
I hope all this coming out later this summer, we'll apply all three of those projects with our special funding.

00:27:11.789 --> 00:27:18.789
So that should take us through.

00:27:18.789 --> 00:27:21.789
So I'm gone.

00:27:21.789 --> 00:27:22.789
Any questions on it?

00:27:22.789 --> 00:27:24.789
That's a long time.

00:27:24.789 --> 00:27:28.789
It seems like it will take five years.

00:27:28.789 --> 00:27:30.789
I have a question.

00:27:30.789 --> 00:27:34.789
Can you explain to me why sufficiency raises this?

00:27:34.789 --> 00:27:47.789
When they do a bridge project, there's a formula that goes through there that based on the condition of the bridge, it comes up with the sufficiency number.

00:27:47.789 --> 00:27:58.789
And then it has to be a certain level to be eligible for federal funding for replacement and below a certain level for federal funding for repairs.

00:27:58.789 --> 00:28:10.789
So it's just a tool to save something that's eligible for federal funding.

00:28:10.789 --> 00:28:13.789
And is that part of what's been taken over by the state?

00:28:13.789 --> 00:28:17.789
No, what's been taken over by the state is the bridge inspections.

00:28:17.789 --> 00:28:19.789
I don't know how closely those were.

00:28:19.789 --> 00:28:26.789
Yeah, the bridge inspection will generate the sufficiency number.

00:28:26.789 --> 00:28:35.389
I think they're supposed to be getting away from the sufficiency number, but I don't know what the new procedures can be yet, so.

00:28:38.990 --> 00:28:43.110
Any other questions for Dale? It's okay. Thank you, Joe.

00:28:43.990 --> 00:28:49.789
Next month, I'll show you, I've updated the Pavement Preservation Program, so I'll present that next month.

00:28:51.110 --> 00:28:51.590
Next month.

00:28:51.590 --> 00:29:00.630
Thank you. I have 6.3 as current budget desk status. Again, this month was kind of slow with

00:29:00.630 --> 00:29:09.269
claims and stuff like that. We did get the HVAC, the four HVAC units installed last Tuesday,

00:29:09.269 --> 00:29:14.389
I believe it was, and they seem to be working okay, just the time for some.

00:29:14.389 --> 00:29:26.110
So that bill will be on next month, but then I talked to Steve, there's quite a few slams

00:29:26.110 --> 00:29:33.529
from like dock construction season and stuff like that for next month, so amp up the slams

00:29:33.529 --> 00:29:34.529
and stuff like that.

00:29:34.529 --> 00:29:40.869
So, but as of right now, numbers are looking okay, and salary, overtime, all that stuff

00:29:40.869 --> 00:29:46.470
I've got through the winter good, so as of right now, going good.

00:29:54.819 --> 00:30:04.819
Iron 7.0 is both business, which there is in Tennis. We'll move on to new business in 8.1 to move to the engineering stage for the roundabout.

00:30:04.819 --> 00:30:14.819
Okay, we've got a grant to do, it's a rural travel grant for plenary engineering for phase one and phase two. It's for the roundabout.

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:44.740
There's federal funds in the use of the engineering so you have to do qualification based selection for that and the county has a policy for qualification based selection so we have to send out an RFQ request for qualifications for consultants so before we can do that we have to get approval from the oversight committee to send out the RFQ.

00:30:44.740 --> 00:30:48.559
So that's what's in front of you.

00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.180
The engineering, the preliminary engineering

00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:53.579
to phase one and phase two,

00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:59.599
the grant was for 523,915 and it's 100% funding.

00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.339
So I think that number is very, very high.

00:31:03.339 --> 00:31:07.359
It's based on an engineer's assessment of construction

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:09.920
for 3.49 million.

00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:11.759
So I think that number is high.

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.480
But when we submitted for funding

00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:16.799
for the construction.

00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:19.440
I had two different consultants give me an estimate

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:21.079
of what it would cost to replace it.

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:24.319
One's that know a lot more roundabouts than I do.

00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:26.160
And one came in at two million, one came in at three

00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:27.000
and a half million.

00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:28.759
So I can use the higher one.

00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:31.279
We got funding, 100% for engineering.

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:33.960
So yay for us.

00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:50.839
Yeah, that was just the template.

00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:55.359
We haven't, since we haven't on the one we're going to sign out or whatever, there's nothing

00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:56.359
to sign, right?

00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:57.359
Yeah, there's nothing to sign.

00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.440
It's just, we have to get the prover from you before we can send the RFP out.

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.680
And once we get the, then you'll change the name.

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:10.559
We're still waiting on some things to get like, to do the Q-Quality-based selection, correct?

00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.319
Yeah, this isn't the actual time. It's just giving us like an understanding.

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:27.360
It'll be very close to that, but we, the RTA, the FHWA have to approve the RFQ before we send it out.

00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:32.000
So what you got is a real close template to what they're suggesting.

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:38.000
Mr. Newton, your motion is to approve the RFQ for this

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:43.000
bonding draft. Mr. Moderow, is that a second?

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:46.000
We have a motion and a second. Any discussion?

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.000
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:50.000
Aye.

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:52.000
8.1 is approved.

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:57.369
Moving on to 8.2 and HD26-8.

00:32:57.369 --> 00:33:02.369
This is an agreement to sign the unit price agreement

00:33:02.369 --> 00:33:04.389
for federal day labor work.

00:33:04.389 --> 00:33:06.069
This is for the seal coat work.

00:33:07.490 --> 00:33:12.490
The engineers estimate came in at 267,000.

00:33:12.930 --> 00:33:15.490
And so we'll get reimbursed for 80% of that work.

00:33:17.730 --> 00:33:19.089
So pleasure is committed.

00:33:19.970 --> 00:33:21.529
We'll be moved by Mr. Jogerst.

00:33:21.529 --> 00:33:22.589
Is there a second?

00:33:23.730 --> 00:33:24.569
Second?

00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:27.769
I have a second by Mr. Moderow, any discussion?

00:33:27.769 --> 00:33:32.130
Seeing none, all those in favor of 26-08 say aye.

00:33:32.130 --> 00:33:34.130
I don't know.

00:33:34.130 --> 00:33:36.130
I should have just approved.

00:33:36.130 --> 00:33:56.049
That's good.

00:33:56.049 --> 00:33:58.049
The top two.

00:33:58.049 --> 00:34:00.049
Next I'll just hang out with those.

00:34:00.049 --> 00:34:03.329
Same.

00:34:03.329 --> 00:34:28.720
Same.

00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:30.720
Yeah, the second thing.

00:34:30.720 --> 00:34:32.720
It shines on the space.

00:34:32.720 --> 00:34:34.720
That's one of the...

00:34:34.720 --> 00:34:36.720
I'm not too sure they're all out there.

00:34:36.720 --> 00:34:38.720
That here's my boy.

00:34:38.720 --> 00:34:40.720
Uh huh.

00:34:40.720 --> 00:35:26.550
Takes us to 8.3 and the HD 26-9 culvert repair cost sharing with the Wattons for the township.

00:35:26.550 --> 00:35:41.349
This is a request from Wattons Township to share the cost of a culvert on Unity Road and the total construction cost is $90,700, so the county's share will be $45,350.

00:35:41.349 --> 00:35:53.349
I have a motion to approve the message of Jogerst and seconded by Mr. Houghton. Any discussion? Questions?

00:35:53.349 --> 00:35:57.349
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Motion is approved.

00:35:57.349 --> 00:36:04.960
Just one question.

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:08.960
Two of them? I'm sorry, I lied, two of them.

00:36:08.960 --> 00:37:11.150
I just wanted to thank you guys for coming up to Lena, and probably you were at Will City as well, for the pollinators, for helping out with all that work that was up there.

00:37:11.150 --> 00:37:26.150
Thank you. It was something. Yeah, it was amazing. It was amazing. Yeah, like, I mean, people came from everywhere. Yeah, so thank you.

00:37:26.150 --> 00:37:34.150
Well, I was told nobody asked them. Yeah, they were on standby and nobody asked.

00:37:34.150 --> 00:37:45.150
Nobody asked us, nobody actually asked us either, we just, yeah, it was there, you know, we shade it.

00:37:45.150 --> 00:37:53.150
Any other comments? Is there a motion to adjourn?

00:37:53.150 --> 00:37:59.150
Is there any motion by Mr. Newton, a second by Mr. Jogerst?

00:37:59.150 --> 00:38:11.409
Scott, I have a question.
