[00:58] The senior center voted to move the 501C3 money to the city to allow us to spend

[01:04] on city expenses so that received that money and basically sports and

[01:10] racks I think is working on skate park things.

[01:14] So that was some leftover money from last year that we're receiving and moving to

[01:18] the new year and then the library just got a new grant.

[03:08] I'll make motion approved.

[03:20] What is that put in the back?

[03:23] Six mayor council community announcements.

[03:28] Yeah, I want to thank the Street Department and the rest of the city employees.

[03:33] I think they did a fantastic job of clearing snow and ice from the roadways.

[03:38] The school was clear and looked really good this year because of Robert and his crew going out there and playing it.

[03:45] I just want to say thank you.

[03:47] They did a great job.

[03:48] As usual.

[03:50] As usual.

[03:51] As a usual member of that part.

[03:53] It's pretty good.

[03:54] I heard there were streets that had never been done before.

[04:01] It was nice to hear.

[04:04] I'll follow along with these guys.

[04:06] I've got normally a few times like this.

[04:08] We'll get some negative comments from people.

[04:11] I didn't get those.

[04:12] I got a lot of positive comments from people.

[04:15] Which is pretty exciting because I think the community is starting to believe that we actually do have their best interest in hard.

[04:24] I don't think they believe that for a long time.

[04:26] But I got a lot of comments from business owners downtown.

[04:30] Thank you for doing the sidewalks.

[04:32] I had a few people reach out and say hey, my road didn't get done and give me that address.

[04:38] I had to get a drawer and then they'd get there and get it done.

[04:41] But when they're doing that, that means roads.

[04:43] They're going to miss one every once in a while.

[04:44] But people were very understandable about it.

[04:46] And when they asked, we went and took care of it.

[04:48] And then they couldn't be more pleased.

[04:50] So that all gets done by you guys.

[04:53] And I know it's a full team effort.

[04:55] Everybody asked the pile on.

[04:56] And we never hear it's not my job.

[04:58] You guys just get it done and we appreciate that.

[05:00] And it did scare me you been in the truck.

[05:03] I just rode.

[05:04] I just rode.

[05:05] I just rode.

[05:06] I was a buffer.

[05:07] And we did scare me.

[05:08] You been in there too.

[05:09] We did do.

[05:10] We did.

[05:11] We did do something.

[05:12] We did do something.

[05:13] Huh?

[05:14] You're up.

[05:15] We did.

[05:16] We did do something.

[05:17] I was out.

[05:18] Brad Williams used to be one of our councilmen.

[05:20] We went with the plout truck and plop a big pile of snow right in his driveway.

[05:25] We did go back and take it out.

[05:26] But we had a calling first.

[05:28] His wife was not very happy.

[05:30] She'd see about the snowplug guys.

[05:32] They don't hurt.

[05:34] But now we appreciate all of you because it wouldn't run without you.

[05:39] And chief, I know your guys were out about it.

[05:43] And I know Shannon and you guys were out in it stuff.

[05:46] So everybody came out with safe and sound, which is always good.

[05:49] So we appreciate all of you guys.

[05:51] No.

[05:57] He's probably going to talk about it right now.

[05:59] Okay.

[06:00] Seven, so you made a communication. Yes, two things later with the board now, so the fire department died at that recently came to us

[06:07] And kind of ask K can we go on a six-month trial. There's a lot of

[06:12] Part of our own surround here to do two consecutive days 24 our shifts on nine six-hour shifts off

[06:17] So can we try four six-month time period

[06:20] And you know, create a change in and send you got together and you know

[06:27] They kind of worked with the numbers. It was an ecosystem or money. So

[06:29] We're going to try and see how it goes. I mean, it's like think I think maybe it's a positive equivalent to all of that fair

[06:36] to see

[06:40] There's pros and cons and all this

[06:42] Recruitment told up a probe

[06:46] Studies as show within the first 72 hours. It's dramatic then

[06:51] It lingers in your brain, which you know a little bit of and

[06:56] Mental health in the issue with everyone and it's how people deal with it

[07:01] Certain people deal with mental health different ways, but that 72 hour period gives him time to

[07:09] Debrit their selves or to forget what you know

[07:14] Happened so that 96 or that 96 hours will help that commute

[07:22] Know there 48 hours that helps to a little bit

[07:27] The cons you're there 48 hours in the row you might catch busy shift

[07:33] But we're not going to I mean it's a if they catch an all-nighter than you know

[07:41] We're we're going and we're not going to be

[07:44] Sticklers about you got to get up

[07:47] You know push push push push

[07:49] So I

[07:51] If I was back on the shift I would definitely be open about this. I think it's a really good thing

[07:57] But patients would be awesome

[07:59] Yeah, they they can take a vacation and receive

[08:04] 10 shifts all or 10 days in a row off. That's that's another probe

[08:11] You know you're you you're going to get pushed back on all of it. It's good and bad

[08:16] But it's worth looking at I think that our

[08:20] Recruitment is a good thing

[08:22] There's a couple tribes in order to do it there's the local

[08:26] Like

[08:28] Coal pollination they do it they said their older people was just totally against it didn't want nothing to do with it

[08:34] And then after six months that they worked the firefighters and officers and the captains they

[08:41] They did work the 24 hour shifts and they said hey, we want some of that too

[08:46] So they're all doing it 48 96

[08:50] Weatherford, Oklahoma

[08:52] I talked to a couple people in St. Louis and they were totally against it

[08:56] But now they're doing it. So I mean it's it's worth

[09:00] How did your guys vote? I'm not a voted for it. Was it unanimous or it was close?

[09:06] Yeah, was it the older guys that the older guys are pushing but and I don't blame them

[09:11] Well, I mean

[09:12] Heck if I had 30 years in and I have to do that schedule or change that absolutely I wouldn't like that

[09:19] But like I told the older guys

[09:25] We're doing it for the future and you know, and the future once it

[09:30] So we're trying to handle coverage with call-ins on our 48-hour shift versus 24-hour

[09:38] What will happen?

[09:40] The tagging or the the cash hiring when hiring cash each 24-hour portion for the

[09:46] Exhip will be filled separately. So that one guy will not get hit he won't work

[09:52] Like

[09:54] 34 consecutive shifts in a row. It will be what we call a tax system. It's a mandatory over time

[10:01] And

[10:03] That shift needs covered well, they will tag the guy

[10:09] Leading when the they will tag the tag the

[10:13] The guy that's on shift prior to that shift and then if he's going to be gone the next

[10:21] 24-hour shift

[10:23] the

[10:24] Firefighter that left he will be on call until seven in the morning

[10:31] For the tag system after seven he's released. He's on to that tag system. What's the longest and a firefighter's expected to work they can only work three days

[10:39] It's what we're trying to yeah, so they're not overworked

[10:49] I hope I'm making this clear. I mean, I'm not very good communicator

[10:53] I'm off for it. That's what the guy's long thing it would and like he said it was close

[10:58] Logged over guys and maybe it would be a different story of certain people would have showed up to the meeting and

[11:05] But cast it there, but

[11:07] Is what it is six months

[11:10] six months trawled starting April

[11:13] Second and go until September 30th and

[11:18] We could shut it down any time that there's any issues or anything that she's full

[11:24] Nope no more this do us I mean, it's like I think it's a neat thing

[11:37] Like everything else new

[11:41] Will they revoked themselves internally?

[11:45] Will L and plus in the sheet they'll go over

[11:50] They'll have meetings will have monthly meetings every month power things going

[11:54] What you know and then they'll vote on after the six months

[12:00] And there's no change of money, no loss of money, no equity.

[12:04] It's just you're taking four days off, working two straight shifts, and then getting four days off.

[12:13] The second thing is, as we had a really good meeting with our city staff,

[12:22] Julia Tripe, and Quintripe.

[12:25] So they have a new site plan.

[12:27] They presented us our site plan yesterday.

[12:29] They asked for some help for the COTA approvals.

[12:33] I mean, it is good that the other site plan designed.

[12:35] So we just have a spot for an extra restaurant, which would be cool.

[12:40] So just like I've been able to click to this coming,

[12:42] it's just, you know, there.

[12:44] We got to get some things approved by ODOT, and I'm going to see it.

[12:46] So everybody updated them.

[12:50] It's a huge thing for mine.

[12:52] So I think, oh, like everybody knows what it's going to be on.

[12:54] You love Quintripe, right?

[12:58] Yeah.

[13:01] Yeah.

[13:04] How many years you worked there?

[13:06] How many years did you work?

[13:08] How many years did you work there?

[13:10] Yeah.

[13:14] But then it's a...

[13:16] I see you.

[13:18] Yes, I'm pretty sure.

[13:20] Item 8-12 will be starting.

[13:22] We will not be going to take a session.

[13:24] So 13 in German.

[13:26] Thank you.

[13:30] Bye.
