A
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
after
a
little
bit
of
difficulty
with
our
in
the
technology
department,
we've
got
everything
squared
away,
hopefully
knock
on
wood
and
welcome
to
our
our
work
session
tonight
february
22nd
for
the
city
of
aitkin.
We
want
to
welcome
everyone,
we're
going
to
move
straight
into
our
agenda
and
that
we
lost
a
little
bit
of
time
up
on
the
front
side
of
it.
So
at
this
time
I'm
going
to
introduce
and
turn
the
meeting
over
to
our
city
manager.
Mr
stewart
beatenville,
I'm
mr
beanbow
good
afternoon.
B
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council,
thanks
for
everyone,
letting
us
work
through
this,
this
is
the
first
of
multiple
sessions
of
our
what
we're
calling
new
horizons.
As
you
know,
for
many
years
we
had
a
horizons
planning
session
with
council
and
staff,
and
we
are
ready
to
move
into
this
since
we
had
the
delay
in
time
in
getting
started.
I
will
make
very
brief
comments,
but
essentially
the
kind
of
the
purpose
of
this
is
several
fold
to
get
feedback.
B
B
There
are
challenges,
and
but
I'm
I'm
optimistic
with
what
we're
seeing
with
our
revenues
and
in
a
moment,
our
finance
director
kim
brooks,
will
sort
of
drill
down
a
little
bit
but
a
lot
of
the
revenues.
The
revenues
are
coming
in
at
their
expected
times
and
are
for
the
most
part,
meeting.
Expectations
and
some
of
the
revenues
that
were
hard
hit
by
covid
have
come
in
a
little
stronger
than
we
anticipate.
B
But
again
we
still
want
to
be
very
careful
and
cautious
as
we
move
forward
in
planning
for
next
year's
budget,
as
well
as
continued
revenue
expectations
for
this
year.
One
of
the
other
things
that
we're
going
to
do
is
talk
to
we're
going
to
have
it.
Our
very
next
meeting
presentation
from
our
municipal
development
committee,
commission,
chairman
keith
wood
based
on
the
economic
development
strategic
plan
to
get
some
council
feedback
and
input
and
then
at
the
wrap
up
meeting.
B
We
would
want
to
we're
planning
to
have
tom
hallman,
the
former
usc
again
chancellor
kind
of
sort
of
guide
us
through
setting
putting
a
lot
of
these
priorities
and
objectives
into
some
order,
as
well
as
gleaning
some
goals
and
expectations
from
council
to
to
staff.
So
we
can
work
to
meet
our
citizens
expectations.
B
So
that
being
said,
I've
kind
of
very
much
paraphrased.
My
comments,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
kim
rook's
our
presentation
kind
of
our
financial
situation.
On
where
things
stand,
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
expectations
for
revenues
in
fiscal
year,
2122.,
so
kim,
welcome
and
take
it
away.
C
C
C
For
as
for
hospitality
tax
collections,
I
think
your
this
one
says
five
percent
down
we're
actually
about
four
percent
down
from
this
time
last
year
and
if
you'll
notice,
the
january
collections
for
december
or
higher
than
we've
ever
received,
so
that
that
looks
good.
But
for
next
year
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
budget.
C
Presently,
our
budget
is
going
to
be
about
four
percent
down
from
our
fy20
number,
which
was
a
million
five,
so
we'll
probably
budget
around
one
million
for
440
until
we
have
more
numbers
or
better
numbers,
the
a
tax
is
about
87
of
budget
at
end
of
january
is
still
18
down
from
the
same
time.
Last
year
we
do
expect
it
to
be
upwards
of
maybe
90
to
100
000
over
budget
by
year-end.
C
It's
it's
kind
of
hard
to
tell
with
these
two
revenues
where
we'll
end
up.
But
hopefully
things
are
looking
up
and
and
hopefully
we're
gonna,
it's
gonna
be
brighter
down
the
road,
but
we
also
those
those
budgets
do
not
reflect
the
120
000
increase
that
we
did
in
atex
for
some
parks
and
rec
and
public
service
expenditures.
C
C
We
do
have
a
business
license
ordinance
before
you
tonight
for
first
reading,
which
will
affect
revenue
for
this
year.
It
basically
changes
the
due
date
per
state
law
to
standardize
business
licenses
across
the
state
that
due
date
would
change
to
april
30th
and
we'll
discuss
that
more
in
detail.
A
little
later.
C
E
C
C
E
E
G
G
G
C
C
D
B
H
C
Typically,
after
seven
months,
revenues
do
exceed
expenditures
in
the
general
fund
because
we've,
you
know
collected
most
of
our
taxes
and
at
the
end
of
january,
revenues
did
exceed
by
1.7
million
dollars.
As
of
about
february
10th,
I
think
was
the
the
last
time
I
was
able
to
look
at
this
property.
Tax
revenue
was
at
99.5
percent
of
the
budget.
C
Another
highlight
is
our
health
insurance
claims
are
were
higher
last
year,
but
that
number
has
changed
it's
based
on
claims,
so
it
it
could
change
if
with
new
employees-
or
you
know,
those
kinds
of
things
will
impact
whatever
the
kinds
of
whatever
they
may
experience,
their
spouse
or
their
child.
Things
like
that
will
affect
our
claims,
but
it
looks
better
this
year
than
it
did
at
this
time.
Last
year,
we've
also
received
a
fema
check
for
cable
related,
related
expenses
of
37
000..
We
also
we've
received
some
cares.
C
Fire
revenue
obviously
won't
meet
budget.
We
could
be
maybe
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars
off
of
budget
since
we
rolled
back
the
rates
interest
is
down
in
all
funds.
I
don't
think
anyone
could
have
predicted.
Interest
rates
would
drop
as
low
as
they
have,
but
this
time
last
year
they
were
at
one
point:
eight
one
percent,
our
lgip
interest
rate
and
right
now,
they're
at
0.11,
so
they
have
dropped
very.
B
B
The
the
timing
of
revenue
receipts
has
been,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
in
line
you
know,
most
people
pay
tax,
their
property
taxes
prior
to
the
due
date
without
penalty,
which
is
january
15th,
typically
around
the
15th,
a
lot
of
our
permit
and
license
revenue
comes
in
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
That's
when
we
get
like
the
franchise
fee
payment
from
dominion,
energy.
We
get
the
fee
premiums
on
insurance
that
the
municipal
association
collects
for
all
municipalities.
B
C
C
B
C
C
E
C
E
C
C
D
C
A
But,
but
what
what
councilman
waltz
is
asking
I'd
like
to
know
also
how
I
guess
for
the
water
and
sewer
fund,
how
many
employees
are
that?
So
that's
that's
all
of
public
works
or
a
portion
of
I
mean,
I
think
it's
a
legitimate
question,
because
10
percent
of
the
budget
is
going
towards
non-department,
departmental
expense.
B
C
C
We
look
at
it
several
different
ways.
We
look
at
number
of
employees.
We
look
at
the
actual
cost
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
good
percentage,
and
the
percentages
usually
are
around
70
percent
for
general
fund,
and
this
is,
you
know,
give
or
take
a
percentage
but
70
for
general
fund
20
for
water
and
sewer
and
then
one
to
two
percent
for
storm
water
and
seven
to
nine
percent,
depending
on
what
what
we
use
for
solid
waste.
C
I'm
trying
to
find
my
sheet
that
tells
me
how
many
employees
we
use
for
water
and
sewer,
but
we
we
can
break
those
numbers
up
any
way
that
you
want
them.
I
mean
you
can
see
them
by.
If
you
need
to
see
them
by
account,
you
can
see
them
by
account
and
we
can
you
know.
I
can
tell
you
specifically
what
percentages
we
use
to
break
them
out.
G
E
C
B
E
B
D
E
B
C
We'll
go
back
out
to
other
funds.
We
that's
why
it's
it's
over
budget
now,
but
it
it
and
it
probably
still
will
be,
but
we
we
allocate
a
percentage
of
the
late
fees
to
the
garden
for
the
garbage
in
general,
but
it's
all
collected
in
the
water
and
sewer.
But
it's
allocated
back
out
to
general
fund
for
fire
and
and
water-
and
I
mean
excuse
me,
storm
water,
for
storm
water
charges
and
garbage
for
garbage
lake
garbage.
So
it
is
allocated
back
out.
I
D
G
C
That
we
got
135
000,
it
was
like
reimbursement
for
some
expenses
that
we
had
as
far
as
what
wasn't
covered
by
fema,
and
some
of
that
was
payroll
people
that
were
out
with
co.
You
know
either
they
were
caring
for
a
child
or
an
individual
or
actually
had
coveted
themselves
or
were
asked
by
a
doctor
to
be
quarantined.
We
were
reimbursed
for
some
of
those.
F
G
C
C
C
And
storm
water
is
on
target.
Revenues
are
exceeding
expenses
by
almost
161
000.
At
january
31st
we
haven't
had
any
emergencies
this
fiscal
year.
We
did
set
aside
some
money
from
cary
forward
last
year
to
this
year
for
stormwater
system
depreciation
to
spend
to
be
able
to
spend
on
those
emergencies.
C
If
we
did
have
some,
we
also
started
our
debt
service
payments
this
year
for
bond
and
srf
loans
and
that
totaled
160
775
dollars
and
as
if
I
can
recall
you
can
correct
me
stuart,
but
I
think
there
is
another
srf
loan
for
hitchcock
woods
project
that
could
be
coming
up
for
four
and
a
half
million
dollars.
I
know
that
they
were
talking
about
applying
for
another
one.
B
C
C
C
Just
wanted
to
mention
that
we
are
working
on
fire
fees,
we've
completed,
giving
the
adjustments
back
to
all
of
the
water
customers
that
were
charged
the
other
rate,
and
we
have
rebuild
all
of
the
out
of
city
with
no
water
meter.
So
all
of
that
has
been
taken
care
of
and
we
are
working
on
trying
to
make
it
to
where
it's
more
palatable
for
everybody.
C
The
revenues,
as
I
mentioned
will
you
know,
will
be
down
from
our
estimates,
but
we
are
currently
looking
at
phasing
in
a
three
to
five
year:
increase
to
bring
those
without
water
meters
to
the
average
monthly
amount
being
paid
by
the
water
customers,
but
we're
in
early
stages
of
trying
to
just
figure
out
how
we're
gonna,
you
know,
make
it
more
equitable
and
try
to
keep.
You
know
the
revenue
as
neutral
as
we
can.
B
Yeah
and
again
dave,
we
have
worked
hard
to
come
up
with
options
again
to
kind
of
make
it
more
equitable
for
those
customers,
as
kim
said,
it
will
be
a
multi-year
process
and
then
it'll
just
be.
You
know
we'll
need
direction
from
you
it
to
tell
us
how
best
to
how
long
to
implement
that
over
how
many
years
to
to
get
that
scale
more
equitable.
When
we're
talking
about
our
water
customers,
not
in
the
city
versus
our
non-water
customers,.
A
E
B
C
Maybe
we'll
get
a
better
number
going
forward
with
the
budget,
but
that's
about
three
quarters
of
a
meal
so
that
that's
good
news
we
do
have.
As
I
said,
a
business
license.
Standardization
law
has
gone
into
effect.
We
have.
It
is
a
state
law
that
is
just
to
standardize
the
measures
of
cities
and
counties
with
the
tax
so
that
it's
easy
for
people
to
get
their
business
licenses
and
just
made
it
more
standard
for
all
over
the
state.
So
masc
has
assisted
us
with
this
and
we've.
C
C
So
if
council
agrees
to
that,
we'll
have
that
you
know
coming
forward
and
we've
got
a
lot
going
on,
but
you
know
that's
all
I
have
for
tonight
and
obviously,
if
you
have
questions,
I
can
always
look
stuff
up.
Do
things
different
make
it
a
little
easier
for
you
to
to
see
and
understand
and
I'll
try
to
do
that
next.
D
B
Well,
thanks
and
I
appreciate
the
feedback
on
some
of
these
items
that
have
come
up.
You
know
for
future
reports
that
you
get
as
well
as
just
the
questions
regarding
the
fire,
the
the
breakout
of
the
the
various
users
of
our
fire
service,
our
customers,
that
percentage
and,
of
course,
health
insurance,
which
that's
always
an
issue
that
you
know
we're
no
different
than,
I
guess
any
other
company
or
organization
addressing
health
insurance
costs.
B
So
thank
you
I
if
I
may,
unless
there
are
any
questions
or
anybody
wants
to
comment
further,
I
would
like
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
the
chief
chief
barranco
and
he
can
give
a
sort
of
a
presentation
of
the
of
public
safety
where
we
are
in
the
moment,
as
well
as
moving
forward
as
we
prepare
for
the
budget.
And
this
will
your
22.
J
J
J
So
currently
we
are
looking
to
replace
ladder,
four,
which
is
a
1996
ladder
on
the
south
side
of
town
and
three
engines.
This
will
allow
us
to
put
two
15
year
old
engines
into
the
reserve
status,
which
is
what
is
recommended
and
I'll
and
I'll
give
you
the
exact
numbers
for
that
by
nfpa
recommendations
a
15
year
old,
if
it's
still
in
good
condition
to
put
it
in
a
reserve
status.
J
J
If
you
look
at
the
right
side
of
your
screen,
you
see
capital
project
sales
tax,
four,
there's
two
million
dollars
set
aside
there
with
the
on
hand,
depreciation
that
we
have
the
ladder
truck,
of
course,
is
about
almost
1.1
million,
and
the
purchase
of
three
engines
is
about
1.5
million
to
to
be
able
to
do
that.
We
also
need
to
add
some
equipment
to
these
engines,
especially
the
new
ones
which
leaves
over
holds
over
of
the
depreciation.
J
We
have
about
214
thousand
dollars
and
we
would
recommend
that
money,
there's
two
engines
or
one
ladder
and
one
engine
that
are
not
being
depreciated
at
this
time.
That
is
the
ones
that
have
been
bought
with
capital
project
sales
tax
in
the
past,
so
moving
forward.
We
would
suggest
putting
that
money
towards
those.
So
when
it's
time
to
replace
those,
we
would
have
some
money
set
aside.
J
A
couple
things
has
happened
here:
the
escalation
cost
of
fire
trucks
has
continued
to
rise
as
well
as
we
have
traditionally
depreciated
engines
at
20
years
and
ladders
at
25,
and
so
they're
not
they're,
just
simply
not
lasting
that
long
with
all
the
safety
equipment
that
we
have
on
them
with
the
electronics
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
that
would
be
a
recommendation
to
allow
us
to
upgrade
the
equipment
that
we
currently
have
put
engines
and
ladders
in
reserve
status
and
to
be
able
to
put
some
funding
towards
depreciation.
J
J
I
Okay,
good,
thank
you
for
that
question,
councilman
waltz
and
to
respond
to
your
question
chief.
I
I
appreciate
you
you
putting
this
out
there.
I
think
we
definitely
want
to
get
ahead
of
being
caught
a
situation
where
we
need
to
replace
something
of
this
magnitude
like
the
ladder,
trucks
and
the
three
engines
so
forth
and
so
on.
J
G
J
J
Yes,
ma'am,
we
depreciate
all
of
our
vehicles
at
125
and
depending
on
what
the
use
of
the
vehicle
is,
is
the
like.
Just
an
average
car
would
be
seven
years,
a
patrol
vehicle,
that's
assigned
to
somebody
we'd
replace
every
six
years
and
then
a
fleet
car
we
replaced
because
it's
run
24
hours
a
day.
We
replace
it
every
two
years
and
so
all
of
our
vehicles
and
we're
going
to
talk
a
few
more
a
little
bit
more
about
vehicles,
specifically
patrol
control
vehicles.
J
But
to
your
point:
yes,
we
do
depreciate,
those
and
so
there's
money
cash
on
hand
to
be
able
to
purchase
the
replacement
when
needed,
and
sometimes
we
keep
them
a
year
or
two
longer
as
long
as
they're
in
good
working
condition.
But
the
longer
you
keep
them,
of
course,
the
price
escalates.
So
then
you
have
to
battle.
Do
we
have
enough
money
to
do
that
so
usually
around
those
depreciated
times
or
schedules?
We
do
replace
those.
C
D
Well,
I,
as
chief
when
you
were
talking
about
you,
know
the
escalation
for
the
equipment
and
then,
of
course,
when
you
buy
the
new
equipment,
what
should
I
say
built-in
obsolescence?
Is
there
it's?
You
know
things
are
because
of
the
electronics
and
the
other
things,
as
you
stated,
they
just
don't
last
as
long,
and
I
think
it's
really
wise
to
start
looking
at
doing
this
before
we
get
to
the
place
that
you
know
we're
in
a
bind
and
as
we
all,
I
think,
all
of
city
council
people.
D
D
F
J
Gary
would
you
mind
going
to
the
next
slide?
Please.
These
are
we're
going
to
look
at
patrol
vehicles,
one
of
the
areas
that
we've
talked
about,
and
I've
talked
specifically
with
council.
Numerous
times
is
our
take-home
car
program
and,
as
I
know,
stuart
stewart,
our
city
manager
has
mentioned,
and
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
some
incentives
that
we
have
either
reinstated
or
created.
J
One
of
the
primary
areas
that
we
wanted
to
focus
on
was
the
take-home
car
program,
and
so
this
is
a
capital
investment
and
we
would
recommend,
of
course,
we
we
probably
need
anywhere
around
18.
I
think
to
get
fully
staffed
is
that
for
all
the
positions
that
we
have
but
purchasing
four
additional
vehicles
to
be
added
to
the
fleet?
J
You
know,
of
course,
this
wouldn't
have
to
include
the
equipment
that
goes
into
the
vehicle,
so
they're
about
right
at
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
a
piece
to
our
total
project
of
about
two
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars.
Council
has
been
adamant
about
the
take-home
car
program,
and
so
we
wanted
to
excuse
me
push
this
forward
in
this
budget
to
for
recommendation.
J
J
Yes,
if
we
were
fully
if
we
were
fully
staffed
and
everybody's
out
of
training,
yes,
we
would
need
about
18
to
have
everybody
that
would
have
us
take
home
car
or
assigned
vehicle.
Yes,
sir,
see
currently
we're
using
six
fleet
vehicles
that
are
rotated
basically
24
hours
a
day
along
with
some
take-home
cars.
J
I
J
I
H
J
I
Now
and
and
if
we
can't
take
the
big
bite
at
one
time,
as
chief
stated,
we
we
do
need
to
consider
taking
a
bigger
bite
than
what
we're
looking
at
right.
Now,
because
that's
a
big,
a
big
number
to
be
deficient,
I
mean
we're
never
going
to
be
fully
stopped.
In
my
opinion,
I
mean
I
could
be
wrong.
That
would
be
a
tough
cycle
to
fill
hr
wise,
in
my
opinion,
with
the
training
and
the
schooling
and
everything
involved.
E
B
B
H
I
B
D
D
J
Well,
we
did,
but
with
the
pandemic,
we
are
just
getting
vehicles
in
right
now
to
replace
those
scheduled
replacement
vehicles.
So
we
had
nine
in
this
current
budget
year
that
we're
replacing
and
six
the
year
before,
and
so
we
have
all
the
vehicles
on
site
and
they're
being
scheduled
to
have
the
equipment
put
in
strike
and
then
deployed
into
the
field.
J
G
J
I
don't
have
that
figure
in
front
of
me,
however:
you're
getting
a
couple,
several
thousand
dollars
per
vehicle
I'll,
but
I'll
be
honest.
One
of
our
ladder,
trucks
that
had
some
needs
to
be
upgraded,
we're
we're
hardly
getting
any
bites
on
it,
and
it's
been
on
one
of
those
gov
deal
pages
for
almost
two
years.
G
The
reason
that
I
asked
the
question-
I
don't
know
whether
this
is
a
legal
matter
or
not
the
small
towns
who
cannot
afford
to
pay
for
the
equipment
updated
equipment.
I
just
wondered
whether
there
was
a
a
way
to
work
with
the
and
the
mayor
may
be
able
to
answer
this
question
with
the
state
mutual
association
to
find
out,
if
there's
such
a
program
with
the
state
to
reach
back
to
these
smaller
towns
to
help
them
to
some
degree.
A
I
I
I
don't
know
that
there's
a
program
in
place
right
right
now
miss
price.
I
know
that
there's
obviously
with
the
work
working
with
the
with
through
the
state,
to
get
best
prices
and
from
a
pool,
but
but
I
don't
know
that
there's
any
sort
of
kind
of
passed
down
to
a
small
municipality
is
what
you're
saying.
I
don't
know
that
that
is
now.
D
J
J
Of
course,
we're
looking
towards
and
still
planning
to
move
our
current
city
equipment,
and
we
have
other
than
just
public
safety,
there's
public
works
and
other
departments
on
that
scetv
tower
to
be
able
to
be
taken
down
and
placed
on
the
new
tower.
Once
it's
built,
we
have
some
handheld
radios
that
we
need
to
replace
in
this
upcoming
year.
J
Of
course,
on
whiskey
road.
There
are
several
of
the
computer
parts
that
have
our
original
components
that
we
need
to
get
replaced
for
the
rhythm
or
in
sync
traffic
control
of
whiskey,
road
of
the
17
different
intersections,
and
as
part
of
that,
we're
looking
to
replace
three
of
our
servers.
It's
advise
us
that
they've
come
to
end
the
life
and
the
number
that
you
have
on
your
screen
is
actually
higher.
J
J
J
They've
changed
that
plan
and
we
would
get
you
know
pads
back
from
them.
They
have
gone
to
a
product.
That's
a
lot
more
technically
technology
advanced
when
zoll
they'll
actually
tell
you
if
you're
they're,
compressing
compressions
are
deep
enough
or
and
there's
a
whole
history
that
can
be
passed
on
to
the
physician
at
the
hospital.
So
we
would
look
to
replace
four
of
those
on
a
continual
basis
over
the
next
several
years.
So
those
are
some
of
the
highlights
that
we're
looking
at
in
our.
F
J
Would
yes?
Yes,
it's
lawrence
street
100
block
north
and
south
newberry
street
park
avenue
from
newberry
to
richland
and
richland
avenue.
It
also
includes
the
city
parking
lot
over
there
behind
caldwell
banker,
so
we
have
a
pretty
good
view
and
then
there's
several
and
of
the
alley.
Okay
included
included
in
there.
Yes,
ma'am
and
those
are
up
and
running
already.
We
used
some
transportation
and
public
safety
money
to
get
that
it
was.
The
council
said
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
aside
for
that
and
we
paid
the
first
year
of
the
maintenance
out
of
that.
J
And
then,
lastly,
the
last
page
talks
about
some
personnel
requests.
If
council
sees
appropriate
one
is
we
with
the
retirement
of
captain
burgess?
Recently
we
have
merged
the
two
divisions
of
youth
services
and
investigations
to
hopefully
give
more
support
to
both
we've
done
some
cross
training
there
to
oh
gary.
Can
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
Please?
J
So
we
would
recommend
or
ask
for
a
juvenile
gang
investigator,
as
we
saw
over
the
last
year,
the
heightened
level
of
gang
activity.
This
would
dedicate
somebody
to
track
all
those
different
gangs.
We
have
somebody
that
does
it
on
a
part-time
basis
right
now,
but
this
would
really
focus
their
area
in
the
gang
investigator
as
long
as
well
as
working
with
the
schools,
because
that's
one
of
the
best
information
from
the
gang
activity
that
comes
in
in
the
patrol
and
fire
division.
J
J
J
J
It
would
be
an
investigator
in
our
investigative
division,
but
it
would
be
gathering
information
from
the
school
resource
officers
and
other
areas.
The
two
biggest
places
for
information
for
gang
intel
that
we
get
are
from
the
schools
and
from
the
detention
center,
and
so
they
would
be
that
liaison
to
help
gather
and
from
our
patrol
officers
that
are
out
on
the
street
every
day.
So
it
would
really
be
a
hub
to
have
all
that
information
come
together
and
put
it
in
a
in
a
form,
more
useful
for
extra
patrols,
helping
our
investigators
figure
out.
G
J
Yes,
ma'am,
we
do
have
several
of
those
initiatives
and
I
think
one
of
our
you
know
starting
young
one
of
the
areas.
I
know
that
we've
talked
about
over
recent
years
and
with
this
reorganization
has
been
reemphasized.
Is
that
focusing
on
the
dare
program
there
was
so
big
for
so
long
and
then
it
for
some
reason
it
waned
and
went
away.
J
D
J
That's
correct:
we
had
a
juvenile
investigator
there.
We
do
have
that.
That's
not.
This
would
enhance
with
the
caseload
and
juvenile
that
we
have,
but
also
to
be
able
to
focus
on
the
you
know,
the
increase
in
some
of
the
gang
activity
that
we've
seen
and
to
really
be
able
to
focus,
put
it
in
some
actionable
information
for
our
officers.
D
I
really
I
I
just
think
I
mean
I
think
all
of
these
are
very
worthwhile.
I
have
I'm
completely
supportive,
but
I
think
in
that
area
especially
kind
of
to
follow
on
what
councilwoman
price
said,
you
know
we
just
we
can't
put
our
heads
in
the
sands.
We've
got
to
get
in
there
and
find
out
what's
happening
and
do
what
we
can
to
prevent
some
of
these
things
from
happening.
D
G
G
J
I
H
J
J
B
I
wanted
to
talk,
or
now
we're
to
the
point
to
discuss
engineering
utilities,
our
largest
enterprise
fund,
which
incorporates
engineering,
water
distributions
and
then
also
some
general
fund
of
maintenance
of
streets
and
roads,
and
also
storm
water,
which
is
a
separate
enterprise
fund
on
a
much
smaller
scale.
So
we
have
mike
chris
vilowitz
here.
I
believe
yes,.
D
B
H
C
K
We
can
hear
you
mike
well
good
evening,
thanks
sorry
about
that.
Of
course,
we're
you
know
the
department
or
division
that's
out
of
sight
out
of
mind
and
we
spend
most
of
your
money,
but
with
that
I'd
like
to
just
go
over
a
few
items
or
a
few
projects
that
we
have
done
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
real
quickly.
Of
course,
the
hampton
avenue
sidewalk
project,
the
whiskey
doggery
road
project,
the
chesterfield
street
sewer
project,
doing
the
upfits
of
the
oxygen
injection
at
the
woodside
and
gem
lakes,
lift
stations.
K
K
The
san
hursberry
road
sewer,
lift
station,
of
course,
sewer
extension
out
past
high,
the
i20
and
highway
one
and
then
the
parallel
sewer
line,
we're
doing
and
then
hitchcock
parkway
water
line
relocation.
So,
just
a
quick
summary
of
some
of
the
larger
projects
we've
completed
are
in
the
process
of
completing
in
the
last
year.
K
K
We're
also
looking
in
joel
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
ira
money.
We're
looking
to
do
some
work
over
at
the
recreation
lift
station
to
provide
for
growth
in
that
area.
Also,
the
the
estimated
cost
would
be
broken
up
into
those
years
to
do
some
of
this
preliminary
planning
and
then
would
do
some
of
this
sanitary
sewer
in
stages.
So
we
go
over
to
tool
back
and
do
that
area
first,
to
allow
for
tool
back
in
woodward
drive.
K
If
you
want
to
get
the
next
slide
gary
or
unless
you
have
any
questions,
I
guess
before
I
keep
rolling
on
the
next
thing.
We'd
like
to
do,
and
jim
shelton
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
in
his
last
rendition
of
his
update
on
the
sand
river
sewer
grouting
project
which,
where
we
did
the
49
miles
of
sewer,
grouting
we'd
like
to
do
some
lift
station
force
main
assessments.
K
So
this
is
basically
28
miles
of
force,
main
piping
for
sewer
out
of
the
larger
lift
stations.
Of
course,
shiloh
heights
and
gem
lakes
in
woodside
and
and
southwood
would
basically
camera
and
doing
inspections
of
the
piping
to
determine
the
useful
life
and
then
and
then
up.
You
know
see
if
there's
any
issues
or
you
know
up
upgrades
that
need
to
be
done,
or
you
know
some
aligning,
or
maybe
even
some
grouting
like
jim
shelton
did.
K
K
This
leads
into
the
larger
interceptor
pipes,
so
we
do
have
three
main
metering
stations
before
it
goes
out
to
the
horse
creek
county
psa,
there's
one
at
southwood,
there's
one
at
dibble
road
and
then
there's
one
over
at
middle.
These
are
the
larger
24
to
26
inch
pipe
that
basically
collects
from
all
the
different
basins
and
drains
out
and
goes
over
to
psa.
K
This
would
be
a
video
inspection
of
those
larger
diameter
pipes
that
would
be
broken
up
over
two
years
again
would
give
us
an
assessment
and
provide
us
with
information
on
the
conditions
of
the
the
video
inspections
on
both
of
these,
the
these
large
interceptors
and
then
the
force
main
pipes
would
also
give
us
on
the
most
of
that
is
ductile
iron.
That
would
give
us
some
pipe
thicknesses.
K
One
of
course,
the
parallel
sewer
project
that
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
takes
that
from
that
waffle
house
at
highway,
one
and
I-20
down
to
the
industrial
park
lift
station.
This
here
would
give
us
some
improvements
in
that
lift
station
plus.
That
would
also
help
run
a
parallel
line
down
to
the
shadow
of
heights
lift
station.
K
Of
course,
hopefully
we're
going
to
get
some
media
grants,
and
this
will
start
budget
year
2020
to
23
for
future
projects.
This
here
is
just
giving
you
an
idea
of
what
we've
been
able
to
do
with
some
of
the
esri
products
that
we
have.
We
were
starting
to
use
some
of
the
project
management
software
with
naval.
On
with
the
gis
program.
K
So,
if
someone
calls
in
and
says
hey
I've
had
a
water
leak
for
two
weeks,
we'll
be
able
to
look
on
the
work
order,
software
and
be
able
to
say
yeah.
Well,
we've,
you
know,
we've
got
it
in
the
queue
we've
had.
Somebody
come
out
and
inspect
it.
You
know
we
called
in
for
our
811
locates
and
we'll
be
out.
K
So
that's
some
of
the
stuff
we're
doing
with
our
ezra
product
and
and
our
in-house
programming.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide
garrett,
this
is
some
of
the
storm
water
improvements
that
we're
doing,
of
course,
we're
upgrading
or
updating
the
stormwater
ordinance.
We
should
be
doing
another
round
of
updates,
in-person
updates
in
april
or
where
we
are
with
our
ordinances
and
then
our
design
manual
for
ms4.
K
A
couple
of
the
projects
we
want
to
do
is
saint
andrews
of
perth
court,
the
stormwater
pipe
road
rehabilitation
and
the
kennedy
colony,
storm
water
pipe
and
that's
the
pipes,
the
storm
water
pipes
that
are
in
the
road.
This
would
be
spin
casting.
So
this
would
be
trenchless
inside
the
pipe,
basically
spraying
a
cementitious
liner
inside
to
stabilize
the
pipes
in
any
of
the
cracks
and
joints
outside
of
the
pipe
you
can
go
on
gary.
K
The
other
way,
one
more
there
you
go,
of
course,
everybody's
favorite,
the
shawls
creek
water
plant.
Of
course,
we
we
got
a
little
information
on
that
this
weekend,
with
the
transformer
going
down
and
the
plant
being
down
and
having
to
manually,
run
the
plant
on
one
leg.
Basically,
we
do
have
dual
feeds
out
there
from
dominion.
The
one
side
went
down,
which
is
the
larger
utility,
where
the
larger
pumps
were
running.
K
The
smaller
transformer
was
still
able
to
keep
the
scada
system
and
the
lab
itself
running,
but
we
did
have
to
go
to
you,
know
silver,
bluff
in
town,
creek
and
pine
log
and
up
the
production
in
those
areas
until
the
transformer
needed
to
be
until
the
transformer
was
replaced
come
to
find
out,
it
was
a.
It
was
rodents
that
got
in
and
grounded
out
across
the
lines.
K
K
K
B
G
K
Yeah,
I
guess
storm
water
would
be
in
that
600
000
range,
the
elevated
water
tanks.
The
two
tanks
would
be
in
that.
I
guess
we're
looking
at
about
another
10
million
dollars
for
the
elevated
water
tanks
and
the
looping
of
the
systems,
and
then
the
sanitary
system
improvement
would
be
about
3
million.
K
K
B
K
We're
doing
some
in-house
projects
we're
doing
some
money
with
some
work
with
what
we
have
now
we've.
As
far
as
sewer
line,
we're
we've
done
a
few
projects
like
I
said
on
chesterfield
we're
doing
some
projects
on
well,
that's
not
sewer,
that's
water.
As
far
as
downtown
you
know,
we
did
that.
We
did
that
valve
turning
project
where
we
did
the
499
valves
that
was
about
this
time.
Last
year
and
basically
out
of
the
499
valves,
we
had
11
valves
that
needed
work
for
the
water
lines.
K
K
K
K
K
E
K
Yes,
so
you
know
once
you
know
if
we
find
you
know
areas
that
need
you
know
immediate
attention.
Yes,
we'll
you
know
we'll
put
out
a
you
know
either
get
in
bringing
a
contractor
or
a
crew
or
something
to
come
in
and
fix,
do
point
repairs.
So
we
may
have
a
manhole
that
needs
to
be
rehabilitated
or
we
may
have
some
joints
that
need
to
be
grounded.
K
You
know
our
our
goal
is
to
be
able
to
inspect
everything
that
we
own.
You
know
some
of
these
larger
areas
and
pipes
coming
out
of
these
larger
lift
stations
is
just
too
much
for
our
crews
to
handle
mainly
because
a
lot
of
it
we'd
have
to
do
bypass
pumping
you
know,
because
some
of
that
stuff,
you
can't
do
while
there's
flow
in
the
pipe
to
get
a
good.
You
know
idea
of
the
thickness
of
the
pipe
and
any
you
know
cracks
or
breaks
that
maybe
the
water
is
covering
up.
K
K
For
us
right
now
doing
the
inspections
in-house
that
way,
we
can
say
okay,
these
areas,
we
got
to
call
somebody
in,
or
you
know,
or
we
you
know,
do
another
12
million
dollar
project
where
we
bring
a
consultant
and
their
contractors
in
and
just
you
know,
go
through
the
whole
thing
we
felt
like.
If
we
could
do
the
inspections
ourselves
up
front,
that
would
give
us
some
information
and
then
okay,
these
specific
areas
is
where
we
need
to.
K
You
know,
focus
our
repairs
or
you
know
if
we're
trying
to
maintain
what
we
have
and
trying
to
prepare
for
growth
and
then
upgrade
some
of
the
things
that
we
know
we
have
to
upgrade
with
some
of
the
sizes
of
our
lift
stations,
some
of
the
age
of
our
pumps.
You
know
trying
to
juggle
all
that
and
prioritize
that
we
felt
like
with
the
crews
we
had
in
the
equipment
we
had.
D
B
Or
I
think
so,
and
we
can
start
back.
I
know,
mr
in
talking
with
keith
wood
and
the
and
and
tom
hallman
with
the
municipal
development
commission.
They
suggested
in
terms
of
the
interim
that
we
meet
wednesday
electronically
at
five
o'clock.
I
hope
that
that
time
worked
for
them,
certainly
if
that
works
for
council,
if
not,
we
can
get
a
an
alternate
date,
but
that
was
the
time
of
that
they
selected
in
terms
of
availability.
B
As
part
of
our
second
phase,
we
will
need
to
have
an
executive
session
as
part
of
that
meeting
as
well,
but
otherwise
I
think
we're
ready
to
take
a
moment
to
to
catch
our
breath
and
then
go
straight
into
the
meeting.
I
need
to
go
get
another
machine,
a
computer
to
plug
in,
because
I'm
about
to
go
dark
with
this
one,
it's
about
to
go
dead,
so
I
need
about.
