[00:03] called Order of the Regular Schedule Meeting of the Minor City Council for Monday, July 18, 2022.

[00:09] Number two, Proclamation declaring of the honorary co-naming of West Central Avenue as Willie Osborne Drive.

[00:18] Let's see you back from the family here to the present seat.

[00:24] I'll need a motion if we want to approve that.

[00:27] Second.

[00:33] I believe that there's going to be done during the festival on Saturday morning.

[00:43] We're on the bullet run.

[00:45] That's great.

[00:47] So if you want to be at that honor of street and renaming, it'll be,

[00:52] whether it's quarter of a central name.

[00:54] Central and A isn't it?

[00:56] Central and A isn't it?

[00:57] Central and A.

[01:03] Number three, Proclamation recognizing recognition of outstanding community service,

[01:08] Mr. Ron stole.

[01:09] And Mr. stole probably taught everybody that's setting up here.

[01:13] They'll one time or another except for Ben.

[01:15] Hey, thank you for your time here.

[01:17] You haven't taught her, Mr. Ron?

[01:21] You haven't taught her, Mr. Ron?

[01:24] He probably drove some choir trip.

[01:28] That's right.

[01:30] What did you do?

[01:31] Oh, yeah.

[01:32] So we have a Proclamation for you.

[01:35] Mr. stole.

[01:38] You raised the retired from my book, the schools after 51 years of teaching.

[01:43] Amazing.

[01:44] That's quite a feat.

[01:46] It went by pretty quickly.

[01:47] Did it.

[01:48] So we've got a Proclamation here for you guys.

[01:51] When we come down a little bit.

[01:53] I guess we have about to approve this or not.

[02:01] It would be nice.

[02:03] Oh, two.

[02:05] Thank you.

[02:07] So I don't say that.

[02:08] Thank you.

[02:09] Thank you.

[02:10] All right.

[02:11] All right.

[02:12] All right.

[02:13] All right.

[02:15] Oh, we're here.

[02:17] I guess we do.

[02:24] All right, guys.

[02:52] Appreciate it.

[02:53] Thank you.

[02:54] Thank you.

[02:55] Thank you.

[02:56] Thank you.

[02:57] Thank you.

[03:28] All right, budget amendment, 22-33 Street State

[03:31] and utility improvement, general administrative

[03:33] expanding for agent fees.

[03:35] Mr. Mackay.

[03:37] Yes, on our current law

[03:40] we have for street and stadium and utility improvement

[03:42] on, for charge agent fees on those.

[03:45] We normally get two weeks here.

[03:47] It was the invoice this late last year.

[03:50] We had already closed the book.

[03:51] So we had an extra one in this year.

[03:53] So the funds weren't spent last year.

[03:56] And we even spent extra funds this year to pay the third invoice

[03:59] for that 20th this year.

[04:01] The funds are in the account.

[04:03] So we just need to be able to have.

[04:14] Make a motion we approve.

[04:18] Is that, David?

[04:20] Don't go.

[04:22] Sunberg.

[04:23] Parker.

[04:25] Thanks, Mike.

[04:26] Sorry, just FYI on your ODOT reimbursements.

[04:28] Once we submit the invoice to the cheeses, we let them go from

[04:31] May to the budget.

[04:32] Thank you.

[04:33] Thank you.

[04:34] Thank you.

[04:35] Mr. McNeill.

[04:36] Mr. McNeill.

[04:37] Mr. McNeill.

[04:38] Mr. McNeill.

[04:39] Mr. McNeill.

[04:40] Mr. McNeill.

[04:41] Mr. McNeill.

[04:42] Mr. McNeill.

[04:43] Mr. McNeill.

[04:45] Mr. McNeill.

[04:46] Mr. McNeill.

[04:47] Mr. McNeill.

[04:48] Mr. McNeill.

[04:49] Mr. McNeill.

[04:50] Mr. McNeill.

[04:51] Mr. McNeill.

[04:52] Mr. McNeill.

[04:53] Mr. McNeill.

[04:54] Mr. McNeill.

[04:55] Mr. McNeill.

[04:56] Mr. McNeill.

[04:57] Mr. McNeill.

[04:58] Mr. McNeill.

[04:59] Mr. McNeill.

[05:00] Mr. McNeill.

[05:01] Mr. McNeill.

[05:02] Mr. McNeill.

[05:03] Mr. McNeill.

[05:04] Mr. McNeill.

[05:05] Mr. McNeill.

[05:06] Mr. McNeill.

[05:07] Mr. McNeill.

[05:08] Mr. McNeill.

[05:09] Mr. McNeill.

[05:10] Mr. McNeill.

[05:11] Mr. McNeill.

[05:12] Mr. McNeill.

[05:13] Mr. McNeill.

[05:14] Mr. McNeill.

[05:15] Mr. McNeill.

[05:16] and they've never been able to even through joint efforts between tribes, county, and city,

[05:21] been able to come up with the funding.

[05:24] So as Commissioner Earl stated, this was really a golden opportunity using the

[05:28] ARPA funds that county has.

[05:30] They wanted to initiate this project.

[05:32] So with the city, this project will put air conditioning at the expo building.

[05:38] You would also place it at an elevation that would be above floodplain or above past floods.

[05:47] He was telling me today that the elevation would be above what the 2007 flood was.

[05:52] So that it would be flood resilient and wouldn't get ruined in future floods in the event.

[06:00] We moved from that location.

[06:02] We could take the air conditioners with us.

[06:05] Of course, we know this facility is used today for the fair, farmers market,

[06:10] wedding problems.

[06:11] It would actually give us another rentable space or venue here in the area.

[06:18] And it is absolutely no match required.

[06:24] So it's essentially free money for us to upgrade the expo.

[06:31] This agreement that you all are looking at today is not a notice to proceed,

[06:36] but would simply acknowledge the city's desire to move forward to this project

[06:44] and utilize these funds from the county.

[06:46] And there would be a subsequent contract identified spelled out

[06:51] that would have any terms or conditions of the agreement.

[06:55] That's it.

[06:59] That sounds like a no-brainer.

[07:05] I mean, the only question I have is obviously it's a no-brainer,

[07:11] but you said that once we approve this little go through and then we will,

[07:17] it will be put out for bid by for those who want to bid on it.

[07:23] So now they know how much we have.

[07:27] Could we do that to expand all the funds?

[07:29] Still negotiate.

[07:30] It's interesting.

[07:31] I wonder if we can do that for the bid.

[07:33] Correct.

[07:34] Correct.

[07:35] It would be our funds.

[07:40] So, say it's 100,000.

[07:44] What happened with that 100?

[07:45] It has to be spent out there.

[07:48] It would have to be spent for the project as identified in the grant.

[07:50] In the expo building or anywhere on the very ground.

[07:52] I think in the expo building.

[07:54] Since that's the way I believe it was spelled out in the grant.

[07:57] So what he funds not expended would go back to.

[08:01] More to go.

[08:05] I've been going to that facility since 1975.

[08:14] And I recall no condition there.

[08:17] It's like there isn't the bathrooms there.

[08:20] Right?

[08:21] In the office.

[08:23] Can't even know what to do with that.

[08:25] There.

[08:27] But I don't think the bathrooms were even always in there either.

[08:30] And they got a little bit of a different thing.

[08:31] They think those were added.

[08:32] Man, the pigs and chickens are going to be happy.

[08:36] I know the farmers market girls would be happy.

[08:39] Which we got the big fans in there.

[08:42] So if you got some AC in there and those fans would be with that air.

[08:45] It would be really comfortable in there.

[08:51] So are you needing a motion from us to proceed?

[08:55] There's actually an agreement that we would sign that would allow them to move forward transferring the funds.

[09:00] But, again, we still have a contract that we've all worked with.

[09:04] All right.

[09:05] I'll second.

[09:11] Parker.

[09:12] All right.

[09:14] Davis.

[09:15] All right.

[09:17] All right.

[10:48] Some me hot.

[10:49] But we've got some stuff playing to try to help you.

[10:52] People cool.

[10:53] We got some street re-naming.

[10:55] All right.

[10:56] And then one.

[10:57] This will be re-naming.

[11:00] Barbecue cook off.

[11:02] We got a two time champion come to the barbecue cook off.

[11:05] It sounds like a pretty good deal.

[11:07] But it's a name.

[11:08] You may remember.

[11:12] You may remember his name.

[11:14] But I guess he's.

[11:15] I guess he's from all of these.

[11:16] It's two time champion on the pit boss.

[11:18] Doers up to.

[11:20] I guess it's pretty big deal.

[11:21] There's.

[11:26] You know.

[11:28] You know.

[11:29] You know.

[11:31] First.

[11:33] And I think he's bringing a couple of people, with him.

[11:35] Couple of the teams.

[11:39] Pretty cool.

[11:40] For the first time to have them.

[11:41] And I think for the.

[11:42] Back yard barbecue.

[11:43] We've got.

[11:44] Eight teams.

[11:45] They're right.

[11:46] I think it's what.

[11:51] Pretty cool.

[11:52] The first time.

[11:55] We have a free movie at the Column that day for families.

[12:00] Thanks to Chad Masterson.

[12:05] Options are running the movie for the kids.

[12:08] Some cool stuff happening.

[12:11] Of course.

[12:13] So just kind of keep growing each year.

[12:15] It seemed like the new stuff was added in.

[12:17] So when our firefighters are having a cornhole turn them again.

[12:21] So a lot of stuff going on that day.

[12:23] Well, how we can invest?

[12:27] 16 cm communications.

[12:30] Just to reiterate.

[12:31] It's going to be a great time.

[12:32] It's going to be hot.

[12:33] It's going to be hot for the next two weeks.

[12:35] We need to all be sensitive to that.

[12:37] All the folks in our community check on your neighbors.

[12:40] Make sure we're checking after the elderly and those that are homebound.

[12:45] The library during normal business hours, which is the heat of the day, is available as a cooling station.

[12:53] Obviously, they have water and bathrooms and seating.

[12:56] They're more than happy to have folks that.

[12:59] If they're stuck in a hot house situation or have air conditioning problems, or don't have one.

[13:04] And they need to get out.

[13:05] They're more than welcome to come to the library and get some cooler air and cool down and stay safe.

[13:11] And, you know, watch out for all of our folks.

[13:14] Obviously, first responders that are out in the heat.

[13:17] All of our folks that work outside do construction.

[13:21] Those are tough jobs this time of year and in this heat.

[13:24] It can be dangerous.

[13:25] So, be respectful, be careful.

[13:28] Make sure workers are being safe.

[13:30] We're certainly putting the word out to city staff.

[13:36] We're modifying hours where we need to.

[13:39] Park staff is coming in extremely early.

[13:42] Trying to avoid the heat of the day.

[13:44] So they're starting their days very, very early.

[13:46] But they're gearing up, obviously.

[13:48] They're starting to focus on downtown and make sure that we've got our main street.

[13:53] And they street and Steve Owens cleaned up and looking nice for the festival.

[13:57] Hopefully all of our out of town guests that will be joining us that weekend.

[14:00] I think we'll be putting our best foot forward.

[14:03] Looking forward to the weekend.

[14:04] Still a lot of work to do and try to stay safe in the seat.

[14:08] So, Dean, adjourned.

[14:12] So, move.

[14:14] Second.
