We ask you to be with us tonight, lead our thoughts and guide our thoughts 00:00:19.402 --> 00:00:25.322 - in the way you see fit. We ask these things in Jesus' name, amen. I pledge. I pledge allegiance to the 00:00:25.322 --> 00:00:31.070 - flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, 00:00:31.298 --> 00:00:40.782 - indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Roll call when you're ready. Here. Here. Here. And again, 00:00:40.782 --> 00:00:49.906 - if you'll pay attention, Pam was going to try and get in on the internet. I don't know whether she's 00:00:49.906 --> 00:00:59.390 - having issues or not, but if you can just make sure that we're kind of paying attention to that, please. 00:01:02.306 --> 00:01:09.011 - Starting off this evening, action to approve minutes from the October 17th, 2025 meeting. So moved. 00:01:09.011 --> 00:01:15.851 - All second. Motion to second, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstaining? Action to 00:01:15.851 --> 00:01:22.623 - pay accounts of payable vouchers and payroll vouchers. So moved. Second. Motion to second, all those 00:01:22.623 --> 00:01:26.110 - in favor say aye. Aye.

This is through the EMA Director's Office through FEMA. It's, well, it's loud tonight. It's updated 00:01:45.451 --> 00:01:54.564 - every five years. It's basically a roadmap that tells the local government how to proceed with disasters 00:01:54.564 --> 00:01:56.734 - so we can get reimbursed 00:01:56.930 --> 00:02:06.716 - Should FEMA need to come in? Okay. I'm sorry. As a side note, I think you have attached to your materials 00:02:06.716 --> 00:02:16.225 - an edit sheet. There are a couple of minor mistakes in the plan that you have provided, and those will 00:02:16.225 --> 00:02:25.642 - be changed, or those mistakes will be corrected, but the plan is in substantially final form, but not 00:02:25.642 --> 00:02:26.750 - final form. 00:02:26.850 --> 00:02:34.338 - But Jamie Nibel sent your clerk treasurer a reminder e-mail a couple weeks back and reminded us that 00:02:34.338 --> 00:02:41.899 - we needed to, or the town council needed to approve a resolution agreeing to participate in this plan 00:02:41.899 --> 00:02:49.387 - in order to get reimbursement from FEMA. Questions or concerns from council? I'll ask both Jimmy and 00:02:49.387 --> 00:02:55.614 - Kevin and anybody else involved, do you have any concerns with the plan as written? 00:02:57.346 --> 00:03:07.777 - fire department actually participated in helping review this and so we're good with it. Okay. So you'd 00:03:07.777 --> 00:03:18.107 - have a positive recommendation for us? Okay. Okay. Anyone else with questions, comments? Okay. Anyone 00:03:18.107 --> 00:03:23.070 - from the public? And back to council for action. 00:03:24.482 --> 00:03:32.272 - I'll move to approve Resolution 34-2025 to adopt the Monroe County Multihazard Mitigation Plan. Second. 00:03:32.272 --> 00:03:39.388 - Motion to second. Roll call, please. Scott Oldham. Yes. William Ellis. Yes. Trevor Seger. Yes. 00:03:39.388 --> 00:03:46.204 - Motion carried. Next is Ordinance on First Reading, Ordinance 2025-25, Creating a Separate 00:03:46.204 --> 00:03:50.174 - Vehicle Replacement Fund for the Stormwater Utility. 00:03:51.234 --> 00:03:59.574 - What we are wanting to do is establish like what the sewer and the water has already is having a vehicle 00:03:59.574 --> 00:04:07.755 - purchase line in the storm water. We've got equipment in storm water that's creeping up on us. We want 00:04:07.755 --> 00:04:16.254 - to start being able to put money into that budget so we can budget in the future for purchasing equipment. 00:04:16.930 --> 00:04:23.378 - So make sure I'm understanding, you're wanting a non-reverting fund established rather than a separate 00:04:23.378 --> 00:04:29.951 - line item. Yes. Okay. I mean, it would be a separate line item, but okay, I get it now. Sorry, Domenico. 00:04:29.951 --> 00:04:36.524 - So it just makes it easier for us to build plan and budget ahead. And like I said, we got a street sweep 00:04:36.524 --> 00:04:43.159 - for the 2008 model, so I'm going to be coming up here shortly with you to try to replace that eventually. 00:04:43.159 --> 00:04:45.726 - So we want to get something established. 00:04:45.858 --> 00:04:53.680 - The new models are to have CD players instead of cassettes. Yeah. So yeah, that's what we're wanting 00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:02.199 - to do. This is Norton's own first reading, so it'll be published so everyone can see it. And we'll reconsider 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:09.246 - it again on second reading in two weeks. I do have a question on that, if that's OK. Sure. 00:05:09.538 --> 00:05:16.193 - talent, because we didn't approve this for the budget, so where would you be moving money from? I was 00:05:16.193 --> 00:05:22.914 - gonna mention that a minute ago, as money is allowed, we're gonna put money back into that fund. Jeff, 00:05:22.914 --> 00:05:29.504 - can you help me with this, how you guys do that? If you got a little bit each month, then you add to 00:05:29.504 --> 00:05:36.682 - it, is that how it is in the state of New York? For the reverting fund, for non-reverting fund for purchases, 00:05:36.682 --> 00:05:39.422 - equipment line? Yeah, we'd pay into that. 00:05:39.714 --> 00:05:48.293 - Every month, right? Yeah. So right now it is, it is a reverting fund reverts to the general union one 00:05:48.293 --> 00:05:57.376 - to convert it to a non-reverting fund. They don't revert to the general. I mean, it's, this is the utility. 00:05:57.376 --> 00:06:05.871 - This is stormwater utilities. Right. This is fee based. It's not general fund based. Yes. Okay. So I 00:06:05.871 --> 00:06:08.478 - guess I'm just saying if this, 00:06:10.114 --> 00:06:17.100 - The fees right now are going somewhere, and they're going to be going into this fund. So where are they 00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:24.086 - now going? It just stays in the cash balance, I guess, is that where it stays, is that right? It's more 00:06:24.086 --> 00:06:30.804 - of a tool for, I mean, it's part of our budget. Currently, if we wanted to use money on stormwater, 00:06:30.804 --> 00:06:37.118 - we come to you, move the money out of materials or this, that, and the other, and instead of, 00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:45.798 - Having to do that, we want to have a fund where a portion of the collections of stormwater fees goes 00:06:45.798 --> 00:06:54.430 - directly into this mine. And you'll be able to see it always as it grows and we're ready to purchase. 00:06:54.530 --> 00:07:01.279 - we'll be able to come to you and say, we want to buy this, that, and the other, and it'll come out of 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:08.028 - that fund. And it just makes it more transparent. So we don't have to move from three different funds 00:07:08.028 --> 00:07:14.778 - to be able to get a vehicle or whatever. But on the other hand, even though it would be in that fund, 00:07:14.778 --> 00:07:21.196 - if we found that we needed a project finished and we needed extra money and we had, say, $30,000 00:07:21.196 --> 00:07:22.718 - in this fund, we could 00:07:22.850 --> 00:07:31.765 - we could transfer it back and patch a hole, pun intended, in a stormwater project. So it's really more 00:07:31.765 --> 00:07:40.506 - for, it's more of a bookkeeping thing. So you can look at our budget, and when we come to you and we 00:07:40.506 --> 00:07:49.594 - say we have $35,000 in this fee, we want to buy a pickup truck. It's there. It's very similar in Canada, 00:07:49.594 --> 00:07:52.190 - fire and police, CCD and CCI. 00:07:53.250 --> 00:08:02.583 - Further questions? Okay, moving on. We have no ordinance on second reading. There is no old business. 00:08:02.583 --> 00:08:11.733 - Under new business this evening is the 2026 Monroe County Interlocal Agreement with Animal Control. 00:08:11.733 --> 00:08:20.883 - This is the proposed annual agreement between the city, the county, and the town of Ellitsville for 00:08:20.883 --> 00:08:22.622 - the animal shelter 00:08:23.010 --> 00:08:31.158 - and management interlocal agreement. And so what you have attached to your materials is the projected 00:08:31.158 --> 00:08:39.225 - costs, which shows the animals picked up from various county sources, as they say, and then you also 00:08:39.225 --> 00:08:46.654 - have a spreadsheet that shows where the animals are coming from in terms of their surrender. 00:09:03.842 --> 00:09:15.668 - Okay, so looking at this, it's saying there's 1,423 total number of Monroe County animals. And then 00:09:15.668 --> 00:09:27.966 - that's the number that's multiplied by $364 per animal for the animal interlocal amount. But Ellisville 00:09:27.966 --> 00:09:33.406 - alone just has 103. So why would we be paying 00:09:34.594 --> 00:09:43.553 - 4.3% of the total budget, 3.02% of the total budget. Right, and it says numbers here. So if they're 00:09:43.553 --> 00:09:52.064 - saying the total cost is, am I right, it's 517,972? That's what they're wanting us to pay? No, 00:09:52.064 --> 00:10:01.649 - it's 37.492. Okay, am I missing a page or something? That's on the second page of the agreement, paragraph 00:10:01.649 --> 00:10:03.262 - five. I see here. 00:10:03.394 --> 00:10:14.952 - two separate sections. Okay. All right. Question withdrawn. And I'm sorry, where was this considered 00:10:14.952 --> 00:10:26.854 - from this year? Is it up or down? Pardon? It's in 2025, we were to pay $22,150. We have a budget amount 00:10:26.854 --> 00:10:30.974 - in our budget of $28,350, but we do 00:10:31.202 --> 00:10:46.848 - additional funds so we can make this one. Okay. Questions, concerns from council? Anyone from the public 00:10:46.848 --> 00:10:57.278 - have questions or concerns they want to address? And back to council. 00:11:01.090 --> 00:11:08.232 - then move to approve the 2026 Monroe County Interlocal Agreement Animal Control. Second. Motion second. 00:11:08.232 --> 00:11:15.237 - Roll call, please. Scott Oldham. Yes. William Ellis. Yes. Trevor Seger. Yes. Motion carried. The next 00:11:15.237 --> 00:11:22.174 - is the Appointment to Monroe County Animal Management Commission. Do you want to continue with this? 00:11:22.174 --> 00:11:25.470 - I do. I don't know why. They just need Darla to 00:11:25.954 --> 00:11:31.713 - give them a form to say that I was appointed because we did this in January. I thought we did. Yeah, 00:11:31.713 --> 00:11:37.528 - they're not recognizing it though, so. Okay. Then we don't need to do anything with it. We don't need 00:11:37.528 --> 00:11:43.287 - to do anything with it, so I guess they just need something that say that we've appointed me. Darla, 00:11:43.287 --> 00:11:49.160 - do you want some type of vote again or? If you wouldn't mind. Okay. Is this council or president? Yes. 00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:55.033 - Pardon me? Is this council level or president level? I don't remember who did it. I think it's council 00:11:55.033 --> 00:11:55.774 - level. Okay. 00:11:56.226 --> 00:12:05.172 - Yeah, please. Make a motion to appoint William Ellis as the Monroe County Animal Management Commission 00:12:05.172 --> 00:12:14.206 - member from Ellisville's town council. Scott Oldham? Yes. William Ellis? Yes. Trevor Seger? Yes. Motion 00:12:14.206 --> 00:12:23.239 - carried. Congratulations again. Privilege of the floor. Anyone having business for the council not part 00:12:23.239 --> 00:12:25.150 - of our normal agenda? 00:12:27.458 --> 00:12:34.131 - No one's online, no one rises in chambers. Moving on to supervisor comments. I had nothing. I'm good, 00:12:34.131 --> 00:12:40.738 - thank you, sir. Well, something just popped into my head. It's bouncing around in there, so. Is this 00:12:40.738 --> 00:12:47.346 - where I say of course it did? Yeah. I just thought that I would like to mention that we just started 00:12:47.346 --> 00:12:49.374 - the LEAF pick up here in town. 00:12:49.602 --> 00:12:56.873 - We started, we went around again today. Just want to let all the residents know to get them out along 00:12:56.873 --> 00:13:04.143 - the edge of the curb, not in the streets or in the drainage ways. And we'll be around periodically to 00:13:04.143 --> 00:13:11.414 - get them picked up from now until somewhere around Thanksgiving. Okay. Sounds good. Anything? I don't 00:13:11.414 --> 00:13:19.326 - have anything. Okay. Moving to council comments. Nope. Seeing nothing. No further agenda? Items on the agenda? 00:13:19.874 --> 00:13:20.446 - Okay.
