A

A

He's doing yeah 10:30.

C

Selling something.

D

I got something.

E

There's some highlights from the period of Governor March this year.

E

B

Of those were basically just.

E

Name, changes attrition.

E

Major projects ongoing this Bernardin at that time, a.

E

Great burger king should be open tomorrow for lunch.

E

Listed there we hundred forty one thing: that's for business, license, processing plants processes and cos I've seen Markham control the city day. When you remove see twenty six signs from the roadway. That number is down a little bit. Normally we pull a lot more science, but during the election cycle we have a.

E

Little bit, but the city marshal 1108 repair cleanup orders did respective on those issue for citations and represent the city and municipal for preservation, issue fruits, the Oh ladies Planning Commission, heard of reasons and annexations that better patent citizen.

E

F

Thank you very electric is turning pretty much as we expected to the weather residential uses down a little bit. The good thing is Liggins. Might our industrial customers around.

F

Points of interest, our usage through the internet has jumped some endlessly in the past couple days. Even since we did this. Since I did this report, we increase the capacity to our cmts, which increases the customers and we're trending around 2.5 2.6 gig every night, which is good. We are going up in the numbers and touching those internet customers, but that is seems to be the trend. More and more people cutting the cable wire and go into streaming. That is really pushing that Internet. We scratch! That's us where our best customers are.

F

We will be giving bullying wire and Charlotte round sometime in the next week. With that power line, we just got on an encroachment permit on the power line right there, where 78 it ends in to troll around 130.

F

So we've got to encroach on the meeting column out a little bit. We just got that permit today, Lag about six.

G

Days so we should start.

F

Pulling wire in the next week or two that.

G

F

Is gonna restrain the past? All the wooden poles are set except the one at highway 11. We can't set it until we get the wire to. We start stringing wire and it is moving a lot next project you'll see they will come.

F

Every month, I'm going to keep you updated on our vegetation I'm, trying to expand on South Prague little areas around South Side, and now they moved north problem. So if you have any questions about what's going on, they are cutting the vegetation away from the power lines.

F

They should be moving north north of the city limits down our power lines out for a walk or over the next few days, and let's say we increase the throughput to moments, and that is really really thick enough and we hope to have our doctors, three CIP project before y'all in June or July, hopefully Juna a commodity lie and what that does is allows even faster throughput for the customers, homes and in reversible. We always talk about through the to the capacity for the customer.

F

Come back unsure or moment fast, especially for businesses, send out larger files, bigger bombs and for us to be able to sell, sell little packages and open up our internet anywhere from you know, someone's very little addition to an email. Somebody was an extreme video for their church. That's all I have.

H

A few where we are.

H

P-Cards are going off like 98% roll all the department, it's a good thing. They tested well Bailey.

H

Implementing knows that process.

H

I just wanted to circle back on something else brought up at the last meeting about our billing cycles. Some.

H

H

So now this happens just periodically billing cycle the way, weekends and the elite year works out. Occasionally two of those cycles will end up with two bills.

H

Caveat is that, following month there is no bill, so it really balances out. In some cases it can create confusion, we're working to find us a cost-effective solution to that issue.

H

Sitting down manually.

H

Moving into the reports just briefly I'll hit the highlights on our former Cindy fingers. Customer Gert is good.

H

Tv, even internet customers, which brought touched on Mikey, said the Internet is very friendly. We've seen a lot of girls with wireless deployments through areas that were previously. There cannot be served by tremendous birth capability for us, cable, TV, that's been solid, we've seen a lot of growth. There come February people moving into the digital platform, so taking some of our losses previously,.

H

Financial status.

H

Briefly, looking at the general fund governmental fund cash on page one checking this down about 240,000 from this time last year, that's something I'm gonna keep an eye on just generally. What that is surprise. All this is higher self insurance claims that we've seen over the last few points really dating back, which is taking a farm.

H

We do have aggregate stock, Walston, insurance or really catastrophic health insurance claims, but that only takes in at a pretty high level, so we're open that we get our plumbers back in order.

H

Moving forward into the general fund income statement here, our.

G

H

Are a little bit below budget? That's primarily because we've not looked at our taxes, yet through December.

H

Our expenses are right on point and again the general government shows a little bit over budget back in those health insurance claims.

H

All in all, we're in very good shape and revenue-wise licenses of apartments in the building permits that practically every machine that was really solid forward. That's just another indication of good room continuing throughout the city. What a rooftops doing! Oh there's, a good thing: charges for services, that's also good.

H

Combined utilities revenues are right on point.

H

Main item gears we're holding down costs, we're at about 21% of our total expenses.

H

D

One course is going on and.

B

I understand in.

D

Church you measure individual claims and may be large, but the last two.

B

I

D

Consultant spoken to us has been said.

I

D

Care cost been maintaining low, so we wouldn't not necessary to make a great increase. Is that still overall.

H

Overall, it was because, when we went through the renewal cycle, some of those claims that we had will say December through February had not really sure through that process. So we might see some adjustments in the next year, based on our claims from the last three months that may affect us all on the next renewal cycle, but.

D

On this end, you are flying home, we're.

H

Looking back at that previous 12.

K

Information Thank.

I

You Mira, we have a couple items under this evening: the first one being approval for the fiscal tax, digest and collection agreed with.

H

County tax, commissioner.

H

As you know, we currently send out our own property tax bills.

H

Tax office and that's all they do is collect taxes.

H

Training techniques there, although they have the best software- that's updated every year. So basically what I've done is book for you, a collection agreement.

H

H

City taxes, your bills, going to be the same way. That's all we do at the same time.

H

That's probably the thing we're also going to eliminate some of the duplication. The city pays and gamma phase in processing the taxes, processing.

H

Both gonna pay, the one vendor for both currently.

H

What that means is an estimated 67,000 $120 like a lot of money to give up. First, did you realize the Tax commissioner's office have a much better collection.

H

He's in the very hot lines, more money to the city without upsetting I go through the hassle of sitting out tax bills.

H

We bloody answer any question: you have.

A

What's our annual tax digest of the city roughly.

A

H

A

We don't have anywhere now where you can get online and look at our tax bill, pull it up real, quick in the county. That's a very I've seen they can merge those.

H

A

That be a benefit to the general public.

H

A

It cost us that much to implement that system on the web, somehow probably I, don't know.

A

We have a dedicated person that would, with their job change,.

A

The County charge of the school board 2.5% all that- and it's all- is that the annual contract.

C

Decided to do this and Logan's already looked at this, we'll have to bring back these ordinance changes some black book changes so that our timing, comports and our fees that are fines and so that it all matches because right now their structures different than our structure. Of course, you know how they're you know we're due December 20th. It is change that have changed.

H

Essentially, what that means we'll have to push it up our military adoption by a couple weeks.

H

A

If they're able to take us from a eighty percent collection rate to 82.

H

Using basically and we're just asking if these be declared surplus, put them on with state law and our.

H

Matching 2/3.

I

To full council next Tuesday concludes.

A

Mr. mayor layer, hustle was I unable to make it tonight. Oh, he wanted me to relay was that they are seeking a buyer for air devil. Air devil aviation aggressively when he just recently advertised it in a couple magazines, but.

A

K

Don't have anything.

H

To replace the steel gas lines during a recent leaks early that the fight along the drive is completely.

H

Protected so chose to put it replace, it would go back and plastic line stops to.

H

See you there to read acceptable, CP grief would be at least we got a negative 500 533 negative to Sindhi language.

H

H

To replace it is.

K

Okay, discussion.

A

Motion to approve.

K

Probably maybe pose that faxes say we.

B

K

Time make economic.

N

So that's a great sign, just small business growth here.

B

Or also seeing some larger.

N

Interest at the national level, these members know you're aware the number of sites around the city that are harder to reach our potential parcels that are getting attention from buyers and retailers brokers out there surrounds.

B

Me to have those meetings working.

N

Really closely with no grants VCG and his contacts with brokers on number of parcels that pass or larger big bosses all these outlets through asking for signed, Aryan citizen, all those details to make it before. But that's a.

B

Great time in her fight.

N

About it also because of the 15, the George addition for community housing, that just seems like the timings perfect for us to start assessing what we have to better assist an attractive element.

N

B

N

Concert this Friday excited about that. The sponsorship is.

K

I have upcoming public hearing on recon 506, south wall street sure.

E

Thank mr. maryk, all I said you mentioned. This is one of those options coming to town.

E

At 5:06 South groceries listed and then all the other addresses the parcels that are concerned solicited as an application. There's five or six on this mobile addresses are listed there, which are.

K

These are variants inside yes,.

E

Sir, and that's just a request by.

E

Wall Street there's only three there. They have several requests for variance one still out for a wider driveway than our CEO has allowed for until after a maximum apartment across the front of the parking lot, and also have a fifty square foot sign 35 square feet. Considering the context of the area.

E

Recommendation from Planning and Zoning answered calls for that. One also I think I just wanted to mentioned. They did ask for a variance on the amount of perfect impervious service they would be allowed to have, and we came to the conclusion the best to just start incorporating some pervious concrete or a pervious asphalt developments to allow for parking that will increase so they're going to do that. Instead of asking for the increase of that.

K

The maximum is a variable sign in 1557 south wall street. Yes,.

E

Sir, this is a request by horizon roofing they're, asking to utilize a sign that was in front of this address: deputy 37 South Broad Street. That was the old the minister's the sign. That's currently not conformed, and due to the fact that we change their form inspect in 2014, it's a pile on approval, with conditions.

E

A

D

So they're looking moving officers at them.

A

They want they've already moved over there yeah, but.

D

They're still using the Spring Street, no.

A

They've been working out of self broad yeah.

A

They need to go ahead and take spray straight down anyway, right if they're out.

K

Meeting schedule need to change absolutely just need to combine the first and second leading.

K

K

Hopefully, all those down.

K

Bring about safe travels.

K

Yeah yeah I was looking. City was going on.

N
