[00:00] Thank you for this day. I thank you for this place that we call home. Thank you for these councilmembers that serve our city so well.
[00:16] Father, I pray that you would continue to give them wisdom and discernment. Father, I pray over our first responders as well.
[00:23] I ask that you keep them safe. Lord, may we see your hand of blessing on this city. In the name of Jesus, I pray in the name of Jesus.
[00:30] Amen.
[00:32] Let's go to the line 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.
[00:44] I have more public input. I've got the personal appearances. Five, five, eight claims list. Motion to approve.
[00:54] Second.
[00:57] Five, five, eight, minutes from the January 6th, 2026 regular meeting.
[01:07] Second.
[01:10] Easton, Jones, abstain, Barnes, High, Parker. Five, C, Joint Resolution, MSUA, 2026, Dazirah1, CC, 2026, Dazirah3, Authorizing Community, Financial Support, and VWVW, VWVRG, Eli Chinoweth, the Imperial Dermalation and Clean Up Commercial Structure located at 120 South Main.
[01:33] So, I got Eli for a year, they bought a one-twenty-south name down there, I've been here on my life, and just the other day I was working on it every day, and that was the old, original J.E.L. fire station, recalls.
[01:49] They've gone in, or you've gotten it, or you've made that purchase, you have to deal with it, and basically what this is right now.
[01:57] If you want to do for a demolition, they're willing to basically be our standard T-liver, and stuff like that.
[02:04] Roll-offs and J.E.P.s, which you can't see, you can get it out of your house.
[02:09] I'll let Eli kind of give a background on it, and kind of what his future plans are for the building.
[02:16] Thank you for having me, guys.
[02:19] Before we and I, we encounter definitely a mess. It was full of traction-free, we're also finding cool, historical things too.
[02:28] We're uncovering a lot of history in Miami, that's very different than that building in touch.
[02:35] Our neighbor Gary Reynolds and Glenn Edwards, two prominent figures in Miami, worked in that building.
[02:43] We've worked in that building, and those are all people that are so wise, and we want to get those people back in and tell their stories of the building.
[02:49] We also wanted to serve the community, so we're thanking Living Space's up top in a commercial space these days.
[02:56] At the 12,000 square-closed building in total, so there's a lot of room for opportunity, but there's also a lot of traction there.
[03:04] Because as you can imagine, the room has been full over the years of abandonment, so when you help people get it, it would be traction-free.
[03:11] And there will be some extensive work, because there are the pop-top floor, floor ceiling, where you look out for a second, second, and there's some structural issues that will be taking on that.
[03:26] Do you need two by two terracotta tiles in there?
[03:32] Four by four, four by four.
[03:36] That's four by four.
[03:40] I've been in it, but it was years ago, and it was a cool building then, so I like to go in it again.
[04:01] I'll make a motion to approve.
[04:04] Second.
[04:06] Hi.
[04:07] Hi.
[04:08] Hi.
[04:09] Hi.
[04:10] Hi.
[04:11] I'll go apologize in advance, I'm like, we'll be there Thursday, for whether I'll be on Oklahoma City, so we'll be doing it.
[04:19] We'll be welcome.
[04:20] But I'll come by after I get back.
[04:22] six, seven new business, if any, which the business is both this agenda, seven staff reports.
[04:38] Hey, trustee community, that's what's nine trust management communications.
[04:44] Oh yes, board tonight. I have like four things this is going to update you on three or four.
[04:47] For one thing, I'm super excited to announce we have our fiber project that is out for bid.
[04:52] So once we have bids back, then we'll have a better idea of what it's going to cost.
[04:55] So I mean, based on, you know, the sides are study that's been done.
[04:59] So once it's done, we will come back to the board. Obviously talk about borrowing money.
[05:03] Look at the different options. You know, I know we have an option to borrow local.
[05:06] We can also go on the open market, just different things like that.
[05:08] We'll bring back to the board once we get that.
[05:10] The second thing is we are down to the finalists on the AMI meters.
[05:14] So we've sent out some questions to the vendors.
[05:17] The remaining vendors is to get those answers.
[05:19] Once we get those answers, they won't bring to the board.
[05:21] Those bids and let the board, you know, the authorize the contract.
[05:25] The third one is I get a lot of questions on this.
[05:28] If you go down the turnpiking, you look to your left.
[05:30] If you're traveling to Joplin, that's our new water tower there.
[05:33] So everybody's like, what's going on there? There's a huge crane there.
[05:35] You audio, audio, audio.
[05:36] So if you've noticed there, starting to build the block walls for the chlorine is getting as almost done.
[05:44] And then you notice the spear, the bottom of the spear, they're welding it together right now.
[05:48] So they're bringing in a piece and they weld it together.
[05:50] And then they'll lift it up. So it's really cool.
[05:52] And that's a grant that we got.
[05:53] So I mean, it's like a, you know, two million plus dollar grant.
[05:56] So I mean, it's like staff's working very hard to bring in things.
[06:00] So we're excited about that.
[06:01] And then we also open bids a couple of weeks ago on the water treatment plant that we had down the operation center.
[06:07] So we're reviewing all those right now.
[06:09] So that'll be good.
[06:11] So now I was just trying to figure out if we have enough money to do all these projects with the grant matches and everything.
[06:16] So hopefully we can, you know, work through that.
[06:18] I hope we can make crystal very, very nervous with how much money we can spend in a couple of years.
[06:22] So just, sorry, everybody knows.
[06:25] We've got a room for people.
[06:26] When it's on about the fiber network, the city of Miami that is putting in a fiber network.
[06:31] Right now, city of Miami does not have adequate internet speeds for citizens.
[06:36] So this has been a project we've been working on for quite a while.
[06:39] And it's finally coming to fruition that you're going to have true high speed fiber internet to your home.
[06:46] And we've tried to go other routes to make it happen.
[06:50] And just nobody want to do it.
[06:53] AT&T is pulling out of Miami.
[06:56] I think November of this year, there's supposed to send everything off except for sailor service.
[07:02] So if you have AT&T, you're running on an avid barrel.
[07:07] So the leave your only option, be spark light or the sailor internet.
[07:11] So the city of Miami is going to help try to fill that gap with this new project.
[07:15] The other one he talked about was the AMI meters.
[07:18] Those are these smart meters under house for your electric and your water.
[07:21] And you'll have an app on your phone, I believe.
[07:23] And you'll be able to go around that app, check your usage.
[07:26] See how much you use each day.
[07:28] A lot of things you'll be able to see about your own house and manage your own bill that way.
[07:31] So really excited stuff that we're trying to get caught up on here for the people of my own.
[07:38] A lot of people probably didn't understand what he said earlier.
[07:41] We did because we've been working on it.
[07:42] But since you guys were all here, I want to fill you in a little bit.
[07:46] All right.
[07:47] 10, this meeting will now be continued from the car.
[07:50] This meeting will be continued with council chambers and reconvenes.
