[00:00] When we're first, gosh, mom's feeling that.

[00:05] And we'll have the invocation by seeking

[00:08] to the all Episcopal stretch, Ms. K.

[00:15] Let us pray.

[00:18] Almighty God, our heavenly Father, send down upon those

[00:21] who hold office in this city, the spirit of wisdom,

[00:25] charity, and justice, that with steadfast purpose,

[00:30] they may faithfully serve in their office

[00:33] to promote the well-being of all people through Jesus Christ

[00:37] our Lord, Amen.

[01:00] All right, number four, public input

[01:02] or unscheduled personal appearances.

[01:05] Five, action item, consent agenda.

[01:07] Staff recommends we approve out of six and seven.

[01:30] Hi.

[01:31] Number eight, acknowledgement, and a permit.

[01:33] Number WL005-821-0366 for construction.

[01:40] The 5,870 linear feet, the 12 inch HDPE.

[01:46] Yes, or so, this is just the acknowledgement of the permit.

[01:49] We received from DEQ, so it was part of the permit.

[01:51] We get from them, we have to acknowledge, and at the next meeting.

[01:55] So, I'm just excited everybody now.

[01:57] So we don't have to do anything.

[01:58] No, sir.

[01:59] All right, this will be, if this will go down 69A,

[02:02] and it will also come down from Rockdale Road

[02:07] right there, so about the College Farm.

[02:10] Okay.

[02:11] Thank you.

[02:12] Nine, action item.

[02:13] They must write for my plane for Pinsco Project Relicency.

[02:22] So this is with DWT.

[02:25] It's additional bill that we've been working with them

[02:29] on the study plan document.

[02:33] And the initial study report that GRDA has been doing

[02:36] is requested by FERC, which is related to the relicensing.

[02:41] And as you all know, this relicensing, once it goes into effect,

[02:47] will be in effect for potentially up to 50 years.

[02:52] So the outcome of this report and the license that may or may not be

[02:56] issues to GRDA is extremely important.

[03:00] to Miami. And this initial study report is really possibly one of our last opportunities

[03:07] to get our feedback on the record with FERC and with GRDA on any concerns that the city

[03:14] would have related to the license and potentially the raising of Grand Lake, which is part

[03:22] of the request that GRDA has made to raise the lake by an additional two feet. So part of the

[03:28] study that's being done is the economic impact that that would have on anyone up streams, specifically

[03:36] here in Ottawa County, and any infrastructure impact that that would have. So this has been really

[03:43] an extensive study on the hydrologic reports. And so again we've had some really great team

[03:51] members with DWT and making sure that we understand the studies, we understand the long-term

[03:57] impact and that we document those appropriately for FERC. So again this is one of additional

[04:07] bills to come as we've been working on this throughout the month of October. So this bill is actually

[04:15] for the end of September. It's on the council tonight for approval and again I don't think this

[04:23] is an opportunity where we'd be able to step away and not pay them for work that they were contracted

[04:29] to perform and have performed on our behalf.

[04:32] I'll vote in a second. Can I ask a question? Of course. Could we, at some point, once we kind

[05:08] of get through this response type period and whatever? Could we have some kind of a,

[05:18] oh, just an informational session with just a summary, maybe of an hour, hour and a half, two hours.

[05:24] It folks want to come and listen. I know we worry about stepping away from the citizens and

[05:33] stepping away from what we've taken on so many years ago and we also worry maybe the wrong

[05:45] word, but we kind of feel like we're darned if we do and darned if we don't. So I was wondering

[05:54] about, let's some citizens in this room and actually discuss it with them and try and garnish

[05:59] some feet.

[06:00] So that we don't maybe feel like we're on an island.

[06:06] I think the outcome once they finalize our response to this initial study report, I think that would be the perfect opportunity,

[06:17] which they're going to be wrapping that up here in November.

[06:20] So maybe around the first of December-ish somewhere there that would be a perfect time to pull everyone together and really kind of go through the concerns that have been outlined in that report.

[06:31] Cool.

[06:34] Hi.

[06:41] 10 of the new business of any of those residents that are posting of this agenda,

[06:50] 11 trustee community announcements, and 12 adjournment.
