Day >> here. >> Dano >> here. >> Narduzi >> here. >> Tagliotti >> here. >> Traus. >> Lea >> here. >> Walter >> here. And the Reverend Matt Matthew Garrett would please indulge us. Thank you. I'm going to start this evening with just a short prayer lead. If anyone is so inclined, please feel that. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen. Eternal Lord, ruler of all, graciously regard those who have been set in positions of authority among us, that guided by your spirit, they may be high in purpose, wise in counsel, firm in good resolution, and unwavering in duty, that under them we may be governed quietly and peacefully through Jesus Christ our Lord, who taught us to pray, "Our Father, who art in heaven, what do you th as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive our tresasses as we tres against us and lead us not into temptation but us thine is the kingdom and the glory forever and ever. Amen. >> Thank you very much always. Uh, let's see. Oh, please. Yeah, please stand al for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay. So, do I have a motion to approve the minutes of the July 29th, 2025 streets and Sidewalks Committee meeting, the August 7th, 2025 streets and Sidewalks Committee meeting, the August 12th regular council meeting, the August 18th, 2025 finance committee meeting, and the August 18th, 2025 council workshop. >> I have a move. Second. All in favor? >> Opposed? >> No. >> And the reason for that is we're getting this stuff very late. >> The final moment and trying to anticipate multiple pages of these and expect to be able to read them and actually find out that they are inaccurate is insufficient time. There is no reason that we should be approving these tonight. Okay, about six to one. Thank you. Uh let's see. We have uh audience participation. >> I don't believe anybody. >> Okay, let's see. We have uh remove uh remove 2025-9 from the agenda. And uh it was suggest to do this do it this way so we don't have to reumber everything. So it's just easier for to do that this way. And um that's a good start. So let's go to ordinance 2025-102 104. Ron, you want to explain that one? >> Yes. there. So we have been utilizing [Music] most [Music] ensure that we are ahead till we help the city and technology fully proactively and will reduce the risk of running out Mountain. Okay. Any questions on 2025-104? And I'll pick it up. Consent agenda. We have 2025-105. >> Excuse me. I don't see anything saying we have a consent agenda. It >> doesn't matter. Council wants to break the consent agenda. They have the authority to do that. It should be on page two, Dale, on the basket of fridge. The back of uh there it is. >> Does he have a revised agenda? possibly stand out today. >> Everybody's spot. >> I think there's a second. >> Oh, is it sitting at this? This was sitting at our spot. >> At your spot at your spot. >> By your spot. >> Yes. >> Okay. Okay. We have one 2005 105. That's a uh county board of health. That's something we do every year. And for 2026 it's 67,000 953 and 2027 it's 76,143. uh this any any interaction with the health department any issues all our restaurants they have it's all part of this uh cost for the restaurant part did they report back to us and we have an updated report of those types of of inspections >> I've never seen a written report never asked for one >> u I'm assuming that uh when they do their inspections that that's an internal issue between the restaurant and the county board of health. Uh if there was a uh a situation that they needed support with, they would contact the city fire department if it was fire suppression. Never had is that about the Is that fair, Chief? >> Yeah. Typically, um we don't get regular reports back to them. follow what were to take the place, what had to be done and the follow. So, we kind of worked hand in hand with them in terms of inspections and then in case of a fire or restaurants, they help work to get the uh the business back in business by getting everything inspected quickly and as long as everything's put back together, make those approvals. So, uh that's how they function within the restaurants. Um they also do inspections on some of the for events, uh, food trucks and such. Education as well. I think I just wasn't sure post their their inspection reports and that's what >> we can check that interesting information >> between all >> check with the county board of health and see if we can uh we can get some information from that that's good for public uh public to understand. Thank you. Sure. Any other questions on 2025105? Any objection putting that consent agenda 20250 on consent agenda? We are 202506. Um, >> yeah, this part of upgrades to our siren or weather siren activation system currently on the older 154 MHz radio system >> and we're looking to upgrade that to the 800 MHz public safety band is what which police are operating on our dispatch operates on a dispatch center also. into automated system and set all the sirens off in the various cities on the same frequency. So we're just looking to make that jump onto this require circuit boards and custom equipment manufactured specifically from this vendor. Um this time there's eight different questions for the chief on 1260 106. As long as they don't do it at 12:00 at noon we're having the city parade. We're okay. Thanks D. That's supposed to be funny. any objection to putting on consent agenda? >> Yes, it was. Okay, we'll put 2025 106 on the consent agenda. We can all hear now. It's taking us a couple months, but we're good. We are 2025-107. Good evening in front of all members council and the mayor I can't put revised award schedule for uh the snow routes and I'll address that first the reason being that the round three was uh removed from uh outd solutions and round three was awarded to wall channelist and uh round 13 was then awarded to outdoor solutions. There was actually a a cost savings uh change. Uh all the other routes remain the same. And I'd like to make a couple comments on how I, you know, make my award recommendations. Uh the bid went out to email it to 14 people in addition to being advertised and they have plane dealer. Uh we received one response from somebody that saw the ad. He was from South Grid. uh you know I told him and said you know you're more than welcome to bid on it but I didn't think from my standpoint I would feel comfortable awarded to somebody that that far away in the distance uh would have happened over over time these uh contractors don't have the uh labor force that they've had in the past used to be able to take he offered to take the whole city at times this this round he only been on four driveways there are four routes Alexis property only bid on one route. So possibility what I was forced to do is make awards based on vendor's capacity or contractor's capacity. That's why there might be one or two situations where somebody would have bid lower. But uh you know the contractor that had that route for a number of years or just only bid on that route uh you know we more or less have to award to them because otherwise we wouldn't have the coverage. uh and it scans now we uh have we're able to award 19 out of the 21 routes and I would like to get some direction from council uh to find out if uh you know you're comfortable with doing a u just an informal uh bid process for those remaining two routes or how you would likely to proceed. I don't think we advertise to go through that uh uh procedure. I don't think it's really going to we're going to benefit from it. >> Is this the same proceed same request you made last year where council authorized or you went out and found some additional vendors and then council approved that? >> Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I believe I took my council, you know, gave me the flexibility to do that. Uh, you know, I did speak with the law director and he said, you know, council would, you know, I have to come to council with any proposals I received in council, we have the final say to award. So not to preempt anything but you want to leave you want to do this on first reading and then and or do you want to pass this and then we'll do the >> uh you know to award the 19 routes that we have and we'll be able you know the two remain routes during the in because I'd like to let my contractors know that uh you know they've been what routes they've been awarded so they don't go for other That's all. >> I think we know what we handle the public bidding process and the informal bidding process. It didn't seem to be more expensive than the formal bidding process. I think you let's try to bring home on the other end. I'm going to just ask can anybody not been one of the contractors we fall off on previous three months uh you know a couple of contractors uh have tried to go out and do more commercial because they feel that you know they have to commercial towns they're going to plow when there's two inches of snow you're going to salt and it's more dependable for them to have people in place to do that you know all winter opposed to just you know waiting for snows you know gorgeous or more. >> I'm sorry. How many would need to be bid? Well, we can my recommendation is to award 19 of the 21 >> and then informally bid. Correct. >> And if we call if he gets things done by next week and we call a meeting for Tuesday, then we can uh we can catch those then if >> Dennis switch routes weren't covered. Uh four round four and round six. >> Actually with the pack out of what street? >> Did the city follow any last year at all? Did we handle any experience? You know what? I believe we we we go out if there was some problems. Somebody's you know got missed or something like that. We noticed one and we sent somebody. >> We didn't take any grounds. this uh the safe parking lots and are handled by recreation. >> Is that fair, Ron? Service we just go out an emergency or if there was a we missed one missed route. We don't have the resources to go out and do some routes. Uh do some complete routes. Correct. >> Yes. any any objection to putting this on consent agenda and then we'll get the formal pricing for the last two informal pricing for the last two rounds if that's okay with council put that on the consent agenda 107 we 2025 108. Don, you want to speak to that? >> Thank you. Yeah, man. 10 years plus specifically with right away inspections and that is to oversee work. One of my contractors working for private companies in our utility work. We require section deposit funds. Those deposit funds are posted by either contractor or the utility company specifically to pay for the dispatchment. So he's been working on $50,000 field up to now it's been relatively quiet in regards to utilities. However, we have some big jobs lined up coming here this fall through until the weather turns in the winter. These big jobs require full time inspection and so we were here before council asked for an additional 35,000 50 total $50,000 total for Smith to help us with these discussions. Any questions from councel? Any objection to putting this on consent agenda? Thank you. We have 2025-109 contract consultants watching our maintenance contract and in the process a little bit of an oversight on my part of reviewing and paying invoices for for August which were actually for the work only in July to realize that we were going to be in trouble and not owning and so requesting now legislation for an additional 50,000 to cover the current ongoing work and the balance of the work we anticipate concrete and creek maintenance contracts to also work throughout the rest of this season before the weather turns and looking at you 50 the original 5000,000 you look at the total contract value which is nearing 2 million for these contracts it's still a nominal 5% which is still well within the sweet spot that you have to see for as a percentage of construction after he's asking for additional proced of the engineer no objection I'll put it on the consent agenda >> we have 2025-110 was that you again >> yeah simple in regards to village subdivision. They did require a loop system for the water main run from the development north through an ement out to stone room to help with redundancy in the system loop and the clean water department was not necessarily named on the flat for the easement just the city and the HOA was. So they always typically require because they operate the system and need access to the mains that they responsible for. This document this season agreement just provides these Does this loop then anyway benefit the houses on stone road houses on >> progress? Possibly could because of an additional pressure from the gates. It's only six I believe to a point down to break somewhere they'd still have access water reverse reverse of water but in that respect. Correct. Sure. >> Yeah, it could. Yes, it breaks somewhere between this connection. >> Yeah. the houses, all the houses up on top of the hill, >> right? It could actually >> Okay. And if there breaks and if it breaks in that section and they have to shut down in that section, then this loop would help the houses going down the hill. >> Correct. >> Okay. Any questions for the engineers? >> I just have one question. I just make sure I understand the second section talks about the easement in favor of the city. and the city of Cleveland. Is that supposed to be the city of contend water? >> I'm just saying it says in favor of the city and the city that's inclusion both of them. >> Yeah. >> Any other questions? Objection. We'll put it on the Senate agenda. Okay. We have uh newly removed uh 2025 Z11 u from the agenda to get further information. We have 2025-112 still reported that we had authorized construction going to do a traffic study because of the plans for a school that's the primary school of school to the campus here. We authorize a $15,000 contract for a comprehensive study and look at our campus, all the different dynamics, some moving parts that we had to plan on campus in addition to the school. So, they've been working on that. Got some culinary results just late last week that we're starting to digest, plan to bring that before council. So, just in my short time with my construction point, they've impressed me. They've worked hard and they're very interested to help us. I expressed to them our our needs for challenges for funding infrastructure projects, specifically water gains, and they're out in the bushes, so to speak, looking for some funding for us. And so, I'd like to authorize an additional $35,000 for $50,000 total contract for chapter Services just to help me in in my day-to-day work as well as specifically for some funding resources here from American Starting Point. Just come and introduce himself and say hello business development director. He does a very nice job of course up. We got to say hello. >> Thank you for uh what you've been doing to support us and various projects and stuff. Any questions of councel? I actually just got a question. Where did the new legislation? Was it it was changed? I believe uh this afternoon or something the language in the new legislation. >> Yeah, I believe there was a recommendation for some some simple language that just needed to be cleaned up housekeeping. >> Okay. Okay. So, I'm just looking at the new language because I would like to kill it, but it's an additional 35,000. >> Would that would that work towards the original purpose as well, which is the 15,000 for the same study or is that >> the services, >> right? 15 covers the the study. >> That's that study. This is 35,000 maybe additional study outside of it >> or just just additional support department and specifically for some grants. We're looking for some funding. >> We're looking for some grants and they they have an expertise and experience and knowledge that they can they can afford us. We want to take advantage of that full advantage of that as well as other studies. So that's why we're asking for this. >> Any other questions of council? mayor just say the same thing I said the streets and sidewalks meeting and welcome good luck with your proposals please shade away from those horrible European guy thank you >> absolutely mayor council appreciate the opportunity appreciate the kind words we're excited to help you guys out and identify sources try to bring some additional content >> I hope you can have I hope we can have you back up here when you when you show us the money you're going to help get so look forward to me Please look forward to your next appearance. Any objection to putting this on consent agenda. >> Okay. Bless you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Uh 2025113. D I think you're still out. >> This really is for the upgraded side traffic signal system. It's antiquated. It's 20 years old. We've been living in long and GPD group helped us in 2023 submit a comprehensive grant application to the CMAT program and were successful with securing almost $900,000 free money for that grant. So it's a multi-year uh project that we're working through. GP helped us put the proposal together. We talk at length with the scope with council and in addition to the basics that you did with a project like this for new controllers, new cabinets detection. We've also wanted to add some fiber to the control signal system opportunities for video detection at every intersection. Talk about some pedestrian traffic signal upgrades and accommodations for links and um talk about traffic poles, upgrading signal heads. It's very comprehensive. And when we add those scope items up, it enabled GPD to kind of finalize their proposal and identify the fee, which they said the base of 464,231. It's a couple year process. The construction is anticipated till 27 28. And because of the duration of that design work and uncertainty of what the system is out there and things we may find during design recommended 10% contingency base fee or this contract based on contract values about 15 a little over 15 16% we like to see 10 to 12 but that for standard construction projects when we get into bridge design and competence signal design that percentage tends to creep up to 15 to 20. So still reasonable anticipate for a fair digital design service. Any questions from councelor? >> Yeah, I just we just received a bit so I had a brief opportunity to take a look at this but the streets and sidewalk discuss we did discuss and but I'll say the what we had discussed there's like alternates. So, we talked about, you know, maybe it's $2 million, maybe it's $3 million, but I guess this is just the engineering portion of it, Don. And I'm guessing we continue to talk on it and >> well, this will be this will be dynamic. >> What it does is I think it gives Don some flexibility to get to keep this moving. >> Well, my question is to the finance director. This is not this was not fully uh funed in the CIP. Correct. >> Yeah. The in the current draft of the CIP capital improvement plan uh 250,000 is listed for this in 2025 with additional amounts in 2026 and 2027. So if this was adopted and we had to enter into a contract with GBTE GBD this year, uh we'd be to appropriate that imagine as well as tap into some money that's currently in the gateway of 68. This is project the major project you identified at the streets committee meeting. Correct. along the big project that uh the engineering has to be completed. >> Correct. In order to meet meet our timelines that we committed to set forth in Alaska, we were in need to secure engineering design services in this year this year so that we can meet the schedule complete design work and did project be on construction 27. >> Who's going to pay the majority of the construction? It'll be uh about 900,000 with the CC and then the rest of it will be 100% local. >> Okay. While we have that amount like councilman mentioned, it's based on the scope of work that we were looking to do, but GPD estimated those costs and I believe at least around 3 million give or take. So 3 million plus 900,000 or 2.1 million plus $900,000. I believe that 3 million was the total number of the wastage. >> You're right. 92.1 million is the framework the cost but without this engineering if I understand my recall from that meeting is if we don't do this engineering then we don't get anything. We'll never get to a project that we can bid and construct. That's correct. >> Are you going to spend all that money this year though? The 464,000? >> No, not split it up and that's so we don't have to allocate funds for it this year and put it on for next year. >> Yeah, that's a good question. Will not spend that all this money in in one in balance of the months that are remaining in this calendar, >> but it's got to allocate. Uh in fact hurts a whole lot supposedly works something out GBD issue PO bar this year the 250,000 that's administrative call working with CPD I think if they're pick up in the bed and look they've got a long relationship within the event so they probably will be okay But uh if it was a vendor that didn't have a lot of uh track record with the city, the city came to them and said, "Hey, we want to just issue appeal for say half of it now or maybe half for the future." You know, they risk a chance that that half in the future never materializes. We don't we have a good relationship with GPD, so I'm sure they're that wouldn't be their concern. >> Well, we have a better relationship now. They just moved their their uh division into lieutenants and they're they're um they also just added and I just got a call last week they added another 20 engineers to their payroll. So they're growing into the space and we're and by the way all the concert you're invited to if you want to go to GPD's new new uh uh office area on uh on Oak Tree. You're mostly more than welcome. suits. They did a wonderful job of transitioning that uh I think it's the third floor, the fourth floor of the uh former CI, whatever you want to call it, it's interior uh radio, but they've done a really you got to really go up there and appreciate the what they've done and the the uh engineers they brought on board are really it's really a nice interesting dynamic And I haven't tried the coffee machine, but I was there to see it when they install it. And I gota can't wait to go try it. It's I'm not a big coffee guy, but this machine was so exquisite. It was like, wow. So, if you if you ever want to go or have a chance to stop up and see their offices, they're really nice. >> One of the engineers may pay for itself, man. Yeah, >> you're right. Uh, so how do you want to proceed with this burn? We authorize it. We have to have the council >> authorized the whole amount. I'm sure that's GPD is looking for, but then John and I could could talk to the GPD rep and see about breaking the PO up into smaller increments. >> Did we bump to the amount? Would that help you at all just to say, "Hey, there's trepidation about the timing or something." >> Look, if if they need to hold the yellow, we'll move money around and make it happen this year. >> Well, they're not they'll give the they'll limit the PO to uh they'll be they'll be because they're not going to do the work the whole thing right away. There's plenty of other work we've got going with them right now. So if we pass this, it'll be with the understanding that we're not going to issue a PO until the additional funds are managed in 2026. Is that fair? Is that okay, Vern? Are you comfortable with that? >> Yeah. If not, I think your comment said engineering 2026, construction 2027, 2028. So maybe you're just getting ahead of the curve here, unless they intended to actually start doing engineering work here in fourth quarter 2025. they can focus on our water line. Okay. Any objection to uh let's see uh any objection to putting 2025-113 on consent agenda. >> They just had a question about the uh ongoing construction with the city of Seven Hills. Will they be adding additional traffic lights to the corridor west of Bombardo? I I don't know what they're they're they're they're doing what they know the construction. We're familiar with the construction and we've had cons conversations with uh Seven Hills uh concerning Lombardo Center. Uh but we can ask that's a good that's a fair question to ask. >> Yeah. All should be coordinated. >> So anything that they add should be part of that process. >> Exactly. cross view and then there's one further up by the nursing home I believe too which wouldn't impact but still it should be coordinated. Don will you confirm that? >> Sure. >> And report back to council at the next streets committee meeting. >> Yes. >> Okay. We'll get that answered. Any other questions? Objective and put that 2025-113 on the consent agenda. Oh, let's see. We have 2025-114 public works commission issue one issue two um for road phase two and three water replacements and service improvements spray rocket everyone council we've been reporting the significant cost of this infrastructure upgrade the of our capital planning to be able to absorb these sort of cost. So this application is I think this sort of project is perfect a perfect candidate for for that project which is infrastructure for the water manes and for the roadway it's point it's preliminary scoring based on last year's points and awards that that program issued we feel like we have a decent application of course it's very out last year and of course getting shift from year to year but We do believe we had a good shot. We did that dire fund. So it's $13 million overall infrastructure cost and so the breakdown was 4060 identified that that would give us the best scenario securing funds 40% grant 60%. Nearly 2 million of that is committed by services. So a lot of times when those we show the support from different funding sources, it does tend to prioritize a project. So they're helping us the application is this literate. So it's critical to get this consent legislation adopted to support the application. >> Any questions from D on that one? I just had a question about these figures that were supplied um as part of this application on page 147 of our 300 page packet. If you look at the number of lead connections on Rexville Road, it is a truth that there was 87 homes that are connected with a lead connection and that that data to dispute that it's probably a main and I I know I mentioned that throughout the city as we've had occasion to do a lot of water replacements, we very rarely come across lead connections. record show that would need to be replaced and they don't want to be replaced as we mentioned over the last year of these big infrastructure project. So the intent here is to early combine early combines but only one We talked about the funding we're it includes some of the work we talked about on the downtown streetscape curve repairs and the infrastructure in the water. So all those things that we've talked about is kind of that's what that 13 million represents really address all those. >> Yeah, I'm not quite sure about the concrete work. Um definitely the water man service the details of the applications processing them but it's definitely a comprehensive project that one way considering breaking the wiring up into three different segments three different projects combining still committed to get out with phase one which was from spray valley that was still that out over the winter really out of the gate 26 get that constructed review next year. But then two and three, we're trying to combine them and do resurfacing upon the completion of that water. So that definitely would be probably a two-year two-year construction project process, but probably line up in 26 27 actually 27. Any other questions? Any objection for the consent agenda? 14 and going for agenda. We have 2025-115. This for the authorizing the to negotiate the purchase of 6066 Rexville Road agenda. >> Why? I have no intention of selling this property. And if you read the legislation, it reads that I desire to sell the property and I agree to enter into a purchase and sale agreement. Both of which are untrue. >> Well, the city's blind with on who owns property in the city, especially when it comes to it looks at infrastructure projects. I'm confident that we could come to some understanding. So, I would agree leave that first reading. So, motion. So let me understand the language in which so that I not it's not transaction you take two tango So I'll just leave it on first reading. >> So I guess the question well I know a question if the ordinance is not accurate based upon do you leave that first remove it because at some point that's my question. So if the ordinance is represented this is an arms length transaction that was negotiated and agreed to going to be a settlement. It's not the case then you get to the end of the legislative process and you wouldn't have a willing. So >> so then what happens and the city can modify its position that point. >> Yep. >> So when we get to that point >> if we don't if we don't agree to something then we come back to city council. city has its options undertakings clauses and whatnot as the other option property which require appraisal so on and so which is what we've done in the past. >> Okay. So I still think we leave it on first reading and then we can begin the process of coming up to something that we need the property at some point. So, it's a matter of uh for the city's blind when it comes to Holen's property. We've bought those two houses on 21 and uh work that deal out and uh so but if there's a motion and a second call the role on uh removing from the agenda because the first question is if you kept an refer to public finance. >> Yeah, exactly. a workshop a workshop workshop or public buildings lands either one that's what I would recommend we do that way there's at least it gets it it it makes us everybody aware of what's going on because we we're going to move forward with that project at some point and uh I'm confident we can come to some arrangement but uh we won't know until we have the process in play so you just can't not do anything you got to have some communication. So, uh I suggest we leave that first reading and we we begin the process. Then we consult. The only people we can ever acquire or take land is city council. So, but without discussions, negotiations, you're not going to do anything. And we still got to get those those properties in order to uh do that northern project at some point. So that's the long and the short of it. So I would just leave it on first reading. We're not taking any action other than getting the ball rolling. That's all we're doing. So I've got a motion second on the uh I'll call the ROS. I obviously know the property cities. Well, we can sit down and see what comes of it. And the only reason to say that because maybe this comes back to standard ement of a couple of feet in front of the property. Maybe that would be more satisfactory of the building owner. That was something that, you know, could work out. I know we've got several of those properties are fairly close to the road there, but we should have pause about a year ago. Um, and I thought that was a pretty clause and there's some ways that all the building owners can kind of work together to find something that works with the city and that rather than maybe you know you know talking through people. Let's just kind of get together and see if there's a way to do that. >> Sure. I think this is the first step to try and do something though. At least it it gets it gets it gets the situation in progress. You're starting moving forward. At least you're not sitting still. So we have a motion, a second on to remove it from the agenda is the first motion. Then the second one would just leave it on first reading. So >> So you want to negotiate with the city at all? >> No, I have no intentions of selling. >> Okay. So >> express that in emails to the mayor council very surprised legislation appeared. >> Well, you can't stop city hall from just moving forward with infrastructure projects either. Call the RO and then we'll move forward. Call the RO and we'll move forward one way or the other. >> Day. >> Sorry. What's the motion? >> Motion is to remove it from the agenda. >> Yes. >> Dean. >> Nuzzi. >> No. >> Tagliotti. >> Yes. >> Traus. >> Hi. >> Leverka. >> Yes. >> Wanowitz. >> Yes. >> It's removed from the agenda. Okay. Someone's going to have to negotiate something. Oh, it doesn't go away. Guys, we have words of 2025-116 received a notice just late last week Thursday preventive maintenance program scheduled in 202.6 They just need adopted by every participating community which is us valley view and kind of heights. This is sort of segment of pretzel road basically clover 571st street because we're clo the old river that the project we have a small piece of we try to upload the exhibit show council general limits of the job impacts but it's of no consequence from a financial standpoint that is not asking for financial participation from the city to get this project I think it's very similar to the grand resurfacing project that occurred last year or two that impacted heights and valley. So very similar in nature. They are in a hurry and gave us very short notice. They apologize but they were hoping for quick turn around legislation. Any questions on one 1 Z 2015 2516 on the consent agend ordinance that non bargaining fire department supervisor >> recording in progress >> it's some of the benefits of focused hand to hand with 17 18 and 19 17 language with the same uh injury duty language language and then that's what on we just got this I haven't had an opportunity that is there and then We have a chance to do I do um very good chance to look at but we just got them ready yesterday. So that's fair. That's fair. Would that be okay if we ke? Sure. I mean is that >> that goes for all three of them 17 18? >> Yes. And that is and if we meet next month and approve it because that's so we can have time but I'm sorry that would be fine. Okay. >> So we're going to leave 17 18th and 19th on first reading.

Uh simply just uh council affirming the 2.2 mills that the city asked for the county budget commission commission and the 202026 tax budget. You can see it's it's kind of drafted in a little different format than the department doing. This comes right from private county budget commission and see that we asked for any objection to putting this on consent agenda. Nothing's changed. and we'll put that on the consent agenda. [Music] There's an ongoing effort uh through a company called Talent Sense to interview candidates for the HR positions open. My understanding that we reached the uh the budget of that the $15,000 that cycle expenditure and I would like a motion to approve the about $25,000 additional dollars recal cents so they can pay for the job to do the city director. >> So we're going to pay a firm $40,000. >> No, no, no.
