WEBVTT 00:00:03.778 --> 00:00:10.223 - March 9th, 2026, meeting of the Russell County Council. Chief, prayer? I have to follow just one more 00:00:10.223 --> 00:00:16.793 - time. We've come before you, and again, thank you so much for the big blessings you just showed on this 00:00:16.793 --> 00:00:23.554 - little town, the families represented here. We ask you to be with us, that we serve this community better. 00:00:23.554 --> 00:00:30.377 - We ask the same to you, saying amen. Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, 00:00:30.377 --> 00:00:33.726 - and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, 00:00:33.858 --> 00:00:44.526 - under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Scott Oldham. Here. Dan Swofford. 00:00:44.526 --> 00:00:55.773 - William Ellis. Here. Trevor Sager. Hannah Sample. Here. Approval of the minutes for 223 of 2026. 00:00:55.773 --> 00:01:03.774 - So moved. Second. Motion to second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. 00:01:03.874 --> 00:01:12.749 - Any opposed or any abstaining? Next is motion for action to pay accounts, payable vouchers and payroll 00:01:12.749 --> 00:01:21.710 - vouchers. Sorry. So moved. Second. Motion second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Abstaining. 00:01:21.710 --> 00:01:30.757 - Resolutions this evening is one resolution 05, 2026 surplus of equipment for Department of Public Works. 00:01:30.757 --> 00:01:33.342 - This is a slide in type unit. 00:01:33.826 --> 00:01:43.537 - that slides into the back of a bed of a pickup truck and makes a regular pickup truck into a normal 00:01:43.537 --> 00:01:53.443 - dump truck per se. And we don't use it anymore and we're getting smaller, the smaller type built dump 00:01:53.443 --> 00:02:01.406 - trucks. So I'm asking to surplus this by gov deals. Okay. Questions from council? 00:02:04.034 --> 00:02:17.014 - Motions from Council. I make a motion to accept resolution 05-2026, surplus of equipment, DPW. Second. 00:02:17.014 --> 00:02:26.718 - Motion second. You ready, please? Yes. William Ellis? Yes. Pam Samples? Yes. 00:02:30.850 --> 00:02:40.870 - passes. There are no ordinances on first reading or second reading. Under old business is election of 00:02:40.870 --> 00:02:51.086 - a citizen member to serve on RDC. I might have one, but it will be next meeting before I know for sure. 00:02:51.086 --> 00:03:00.222 - Heritage Center. I think I'll talk about it. So we would like to read and pause dealing with 00:03:00.386 --> 00:03:11.675 - insurance instead of a $500 deposit. We think trying to deal with insurance coverage to rent a heritage 00:03:11.675 --> 00:03:22.747 - center is cumbersome. It's hard to decide if it's valid or it covers what we need covered. And at the 00:03:22.747 --> 00:03:29.694 - end, if there's a, if the people that have the insurance have a 00:03:31.586 --> 00:03:42.133 - High deductible. Thank you, high deductible that we're not sure how to operate if the insurance doesn't 00:03:42.133 --> 00:03:52.781 - pay the high deductible and then how do we go after the people. The $500 seems to be adequate for almost 00:03:52.781 --> 00:04:00.894 - all things that we would like to use a deposit to cover and so I just don't see 00:04:00.994 --> 00:04:09.449 - that the insurance clause needs to be in there and we'd like to remove it. Okay. Anything from your 00:04:09.449 --> 00:04:18.074 - side of the house? One thing we also discussed was what if we do go to make a claim and the insurance 00:04:18.074 --> 00:04:26.529 - denies it. And so far, everybody's been paying the deposit. We've been renting it pretty well. Have 00:04:26.529 --> 00:04:29.150 - we had an event there already? 00:04:29.570 --> 00:04:38.902 - We're getting a lot of requests probably get dozen Yeah, we've been reading now I think up through maybe 00:04:38.902 --> 00:04:47.878 - June July graduations busy So far nothing in the evenings during the week But it's been on Saturdays 00:04:47.878 --> 00:04:55.166 - and in this weekend was the first time we had Saturday and Sunday both were in it 00:04:57.762 --> 00:05:04.551 - Just again, I'll ask the question to be sure there is a clause in there that the marshal or the fire 00:05:04.551 --> 00:05:10.803 - chief can end whatever is going on there instantly if they judge it to be a danger, correct? 00:05:10.803 --> 00:05:17.727 - I don't know. I think that goes for anything in town, right? I want to be very clear in the rental fee 00:05:17.727 --> 00:05:24.516 - that if there's too many people and or if it becomes too big of a problem, either the marshal or the 00:05:24.516 --> 00:05:25.726 - chief can end it. 00:05:27.298 --> 00:05:36.312 - Yeah, I thought we had something to and if that happened, they would no longer be allowed to rent. The 00:05:36.312 --> 00:05:45.326 - Heritage Center for future. Yeah, shut it down. We can double check the verbiage, but certainly change 00:05:45.326 --> 00:05:54.252 - it. Mr President, our board met tonight and agreed with removing the. The insurance from the from the 00:05:54.252 --> 00:05:55.390 - application. 00:05:56.962 --> 00:06:03.966 - And originally I pushed for the insurance because I wasn't clear if that was covered in the town insurance, 00:06:03.966 --> 00:06:10.515 - but it is if something big happened. But unfortunately, insurance won't cover somebody who leaves in 00:06:10.515 --> 00:06:17.259 - a mess. I mean, you can't do an insurance claim for that. The deposit obviously could. But I agree that 00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:24.004 - we need to have stipulations in there. And I mean, Darla, do we need to outline that if they do damage, 00:06:24.004 --> 00:06:26.014 - we have the right to sue them? 00:06:27.874 --> 00:06:38.034 - Let's add to paragraph 29, disorderly, unsafe or illegal behavior is grounds for immediate termination 00:06:38.034 --> 00:06:48.096 - of the event without refund, period, and add the sentence, police and fire personnel may terminate an 00:06:48.096 --> 00:06:54.014 - event for disruptive behavior and no refunds will be given. 00:06:57.634 --> 00:07:11.795 - Let's also add a paragraph at the end, 32. Damages not covered by the damage deposit are the responsibility 00:07:11.795 --> 00:07:25.694 - of the renter, and that gives you an out to sue them in small claims if you really want to. Is that okay? 00:07:29.058 --> 00:07:36.351 - Discussion from council on this? Yeah, I do have one question. So on the disruptive, is that also, should 00:07:36.351 --> 00:07:43.301 - something be put in like, like let's say it holds 50, but they try to sneak and cram in 75? Wouldn't 00:07:43.301 --> 00:07:50.319 - that be a problem? Yeah, that's where I was intending is that if there's something that's disruptive, 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:57.681 - if it's not what they represented to begin with, if they're representing a small card party and a thousand 00:07:57.681 --> 00:07:58.782 - people show up, 00:07:59.810 --> 00:08:07.819 - Yeah, I mean, but we get into that. Well, it'll hold 50, but you got 51. You're done. We're not going 00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:15.671 - to go count. I mean, but if it's obvious from going down 46, there's 500 people there when you said 00:08:15.671 --> 00:08:23.680 - there's going to be 10. Exactly. So that language would cover Pam's concern too, correct? I think so. 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:28.862 - And as Mike Farmer pointed out, I think under the police and fire 00:08:30.434 --> 00:08:37.318 - powers. I think they can shut it down even without the language in there, but that just gives the renters 00:08:37.318 --> 00:08:43.942 - an extra right now. Reminder that rule 30 kind of covers it too. Our personnel like to stand on where 00:08:43.942 --> 00:08:50.566 - they can point to in the contract going right there. It says you might have someone arguing with you, 00:08:50.566 --> 00:08:57.190 - right? The paragraph you did was police and fire. Was that police and fire or police or fire and fire 00:08:57.190 --> 00:08:58.814 - personnel? How about or? 00:09:01.666 --> 00:09:10.085 - Okay. That way, if Jimmy takes care of it, he can take care of it. He doesn't need fire to, you know, 00:09:10.085 --> 00:09:18.668 - oversee it too. Or if it's a major occupancy issue, that would probably be you guys that would, whoever 00:09:18.668 --> 00:09:27.582 - gets there first. If it's real bad, I'll call him anyway. Okay. Is there a motion if there's no discussion? 00:09:31.490 --> 00:09:38.276 - How should the motion read, approve the Heritage Center updated agreement as amended? As amended, and 00:09:38.276 --> 00:09:45.128 - is the council inclined to take out the language about the certificate of liability insurance as well? 00:09:45.128 --> 00:09:52.312 - Removing the certificate of liability insurance. And adding the language suggested. And adding the language 00:09:52.312 --> 00:09:58.366 - suggested. For paragraphs 29 and 32. And paragraphs 29 and 32. We did good now. Thank you. 00:10:01.634 --> 00:10:08.473 - Motion to second. Motion to second when you're ready, please. Scott Oldham? Yes. William Ellis? Yes. 00:10:08.473 --> 00:10:15.516 - Pam Samples? Yes. Motion carries. Thank you. The next under new business is the Full Motomy MOU between 00:10:15.516 --> 00:10:22.288 - BPD and EPD. Again, we find ourselves lacking the necessary quorum, since I'm going to set this one 00:10:22.288 --> 00:10:29.195 - out. Or are you comfortable with just two people voting for it? Actually, I think two people can vote 00:10:29.195 --> 00:10:31.294 - because it's not an ordinance. 00:10:31.746 --> 00:10:37.441 - You have a quorum, so if a majority of the quorum approves it, I think that's fine. I would say, though, 00:10:37.441 --> 00:10:43.136 - that this is not what you have before you. It's not the most recent version of the phlebotomy agreement. 00:10:43.136 --> 00:10:48.776 - And I'm sorry you don't have the updated one, but if you take out paragraph two, the command structure, 00:10:48.776 --> 00:10:54.254 - move all the other paragraphs up, and put two T's in Ellitsville, you got it. So you could pass this 00:10:54.254 --> 00:10:59.189 - one as amended, too. As amended, and I would request that it go with the vice president or 00:10:59.189 --> 00:11:01.630 - another councilmember's signature, not mine. 00:11:04.130 --> 00:11:12.783 - The town manager's fine as well. So under new business. You wanna talk about this, Jimmy? The phlebotomy? 00:11:12.783 --> 00:11:21.272 - If everyone's comfortable, if not, then we'll wait. We've used it quite a bit. I mean, we were probably 00:11:21.272 --> 00:11:29.844 - once or twice, maybe a week, but at least four or five times a month we're using it. Can I make a motion 00:11:29.844 --> 00:11:31.966 - to accept the phlebotomy? 00:11:32.290 --> 00:11:41.230 - MOU between BPD and EPD. Should I say as amended, since you're taking that? Yes, please. Thank you. 00:11:41.230 --> 00:11:50.260 - As amended. Second. Scott. Upstain. Yes. Pay him samples. Yes. Motion passes. First business is mass 00:11:50.260 --> 00:12:00.094 - gathering permit discussion. I don't think we need to talk about that after the department had meeting today. 00:12:01.058 --> 00:12:09.528 - We had some concerns about whether we should run this by the board when we have a mass gathering request. 00:12:09.528 --> 00:12:17.758 - And we've decided that from past discussions that you left that to the police and fire. Actually, your 00:12:17.758 --> 00:12:26.067 - ordinance says that the town employees first look at it and then it comes before the council for a vote 00:12:26.067 --> 00:12:30.462 - on the permit. Within 30 days of the application date. 00:12:31.714 --> 00:12:38.189 - We could block, we could okay the blocking of the road without council approval. Yeah, it's more of 00:12:38.189 --> 00:12:44.664 - a notification and approval than it is a permission and approval. Okay. All right, so we'll move on 00:12:44.664 --> 00:12:51.721 - from there as long as that satisfies Ms. Brown. I do just have a question. It's kind of related to spin-off, 00:12:51.721 --> 00:12:59.038 - but the fall festival, somebody's asked, with the construction, are we not gonna be able to do a parade? We are. 00:13:00.290 --> 00:13:06.863 - Yeah, I actually was down during some flooding issues. I talked to their superintendent and they do 00:13:06.863 --> 00:13:13.699 - realize that they have the date and they're gonna try to make it but it's gonna be close and right now, 00:13:13.699 --> 00:13:20.534 - you know, they had to take a couple steps back because they had to take their check dam out and so they 00:13:20.534 --> 00:13:26.910 - was putting it back in today and it's maybe rain again tomorrow night, but they are going to try 00:13:27.138 --> 00:13:32.564 - to be out of there before the parade. And I think they tried the last time when it was eastbound and 00:13:32.564 --> 00:13:37.990 - they made it happen. I told them there's a lot of pressure this year because the Wienermobile may be 00:13:37.990 --> 00:13:43.577 - in the parade, so there's a lot of pressure. It's also the 250th anniversary of the country. Well, that 00:13:43.577 --> 00:13:49.003 - is true. At some time, not just us, but I don't... Is that the theme this year? I don't see a lot of 00:13:49.003 --> 00:13:54.375 - people talking about that. That should be a big friggin' deal. Yeah, I don't even know if... If any 00:13:54.375 --> 00:13:56.094 - of you were around during 1976, 00:13:56.674 --> 00:14:06.176 - But most of the people here. That was major and I don't I mean it just seems to be lost in the noise. 00:14:06.176 --> 00:14:15.957 - Well it would be hard to have the parade if they're still working on. It'll be close. It'll be something 00:14:15.957 --> 00:14:19.870 - we'll know a lot better by August. Route. 00:14:24.034 --> 00:14:31.120 - Go up to the green. Union Valley and down they've broken out and the other lane come through. Down if 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:38.346 - they have one lane open. I think we held the semis on the highway. We'll let it pass and we'll see what 00:14:38.346 --> 00:14:45.502 - we did with them. Just held the semis up. You can't do the semis out. Make that turn and make it grow. 00:14:45.502 --> 00:14:50.782 - We can be creative later if we need to. We can be creative. Yep. All right. 00:14:51.202 --> 00:14:59.753 - Moving on now to septic dumping rate discussion. Oh, exciting. So the current rate is $4 per thousand 00:14:59.753 --> 00:15:08.555 - gallons. We have two types of trucks that dump there, 2,500 gallon tanker trucks and 5,000 gallon tanker 00:15:08.555 --> 00:15:17.022 - trucks. Obviously, I guess we also have 4,000 gallon tanker trucks. So you can do the math. It's $12 00:15:17.022 --> 00:15:18.782 - or $10 currently for 00:15:20.258 --> 00:15:28.942 - 2,500 gallon tank or truck. The bottom is the math, it's real simple. We spend almost $2.3 million a 00:15:28.942 --> 00:15:37.884 - year to treat that many gallons. And if you do the math, it comes out to about 0.006 cents per thousand 00:15:37.884 --> 00:15:46.654 - gallons, which comes out to $6 per thousand gallons. And I propose that we raise it from four to six. 00:15:48.706 --> 00:15:58.675 - which means a 2,500 gallon truck goes from 10 to 15, and a 5,000 goes from 25 to, am I doing it right? 00:15:58.675 --> 00:16:08.644 - Or 30, I'll have to do better than that. 20 to $30. And it also proposed that we raise the sludge that 00:16:08.644 --> 00:16:11.838 - we dispose there from 30 to $35. 00:16:16.482 --> 00:16:24.756 - The money that we make up all the dumping is usually between $75,000 to $100,000 a year, and it pays 00:16:24.756 --> 00:16:33.194 - for all of our slugs to be landfill for the tipping fees. So basically, everybody in town, that sludge 00:16:33.194 --> 00:16:41.551 - gets dumped for free. It kind of neutralizes that expense. Okay, discussion? So yeah, I don't know if 00:16:41.551 --> 00:16:44.254 - this is not a rate ordinance for 00:16:46.562 --> 00:16:53.986 - customers per se, it's just tipping fees for septic colors. Do we need to do anything special with this? 00:16:53.986 --> 00:17:01.056 - I don't think so. I think when we discussed this before, I don't think we put it in ordinance form, 00:17:01.056 --> 00:17:08.409 - did we? No. I think it was just the council approving the rates. I have a question. Yeah. Who all dumps 00:17:08.409 --> 00:17:15.550 - there? I mean, do we have like surrounding counties? I mean, no, we have currently we have allow for 00:17:15.778 --> 00:17:23.785 - Entities to dump there and I can tell you that we don't need to take on anymore We've taken in as much 00:17:23.785 --> 00:17:31.559 - as I think we should be taken in So those people can they Some of its local and but the majority of 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:39.644 - I mean not the majority of but I'd say 50% of it Comes from out of County and that is they have to they 00:17:39.644 --> 00:17:45.086 - have to put down Where it can't originated from every load has to be? 00:17:45.378 --> 00:17:53.031 - itemized on their sheet they send to me. And then I turn it into the office and they turn around and 00:17:53.031 --> 00:18:00.836 - bill them back. So we don't be a few has no don't touch any of the money. This money all goes straight 00:18:00.836 --> 00:18:08.717 - to Eltsville. So yeah, some of it does come from out of county. Here's the unique thing. Unfortunately, 00:18:08.717 --> 00:18:15.006 - I put a lifesaver in my mouth for my turn to talk. Us and Bloomington are probably 00:18:15.138 --> 00:18:22.085 - two of the only entities. I know Bedford accepts some, they're limited as well, kind of like us. And 00:18:22.085 --> 00:18:29.101 - then I don't know of any other, I think you'll have to go all the way to Washington to know. So Green 00:18:29.101 --> 00:18:36.254 - County Regional Sewer District is currently building a brand new wastewater plant to probably be online 00:18:36.254 --> 00:18:42.238 - in a year or so, a year and a half. I've encouraged them to start accepting it because 00:18:42.914 --> 00:18:50.338 - If they can't find a place to dump it, unfortunately some of these people dump it where they're not 00:18:50.338 --> 00:18:58.282 - supposed to. They will find a place to dump it. A lot of times they have to go all the way to Indianapolis 00:18:58.282 --> 00:19:05.854 - to dump some things. I'm sure Tara Hope takes it in places like that. Sideways for the people who are 00:19:05.854 --> 00:19:11.422 - having to get pumped. That's correct. So I mean that's pretty simple math. 00:19:11.746 --> 00:19:17.936 - I mean, that's what it costs per thousand to treat it, and I just kind of used that number. I'm sure 00:19:17.936 --> 00:19:24.065 - that if we wanted to spend a bunch of money that somebody like Baker Tilly would come up with their 00:19:24.065 --> 00:19:30.745 - own equation. I don't know if it'd match mine or not, but you get to set the rate, and that's my suggestion. 00:19:30.745 --> 00:19:36.935 - I would just – does this have to be done tonight, or can we wait until the next meeting? Because I 00:19:36.935 --> 00:19:41.470 - would just like – because it was advertised as discussion. Nobody knew. 00:19:41.602 --> 00:19:49.940 - And I did that, yes, and I would like to, I can initiate the rate whenever you pass it, but I was thinking 00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:57.732 - April 1st. I had a meeting with all the septic haulers and discussed this and they seem to be fine. 00:19:57.732 --> 00:20:05.757 - Well, yeah, but downstream it affects. Believe it or not, I've had a couple people email me about this 00:20:05.757 --> 00:20:11.134 - today in Richland Township, so. Well, it will affect the homeowners. 00:20:11.746 --> 00:20:18.767 - but very minimal. No, I get that. But I'm saying I'd just rather say I'm 100% transparency. Yeah, I'm 00:20:18.767 --> 00:20:25.651 - comfortable. Yeah, I'm comfortable with these increases. I don't think they're that much. Okay. No, 00:20:25.651 --> 00:20:32.672 - and I think they barely do what it needs to do. But I would just rather wait two weeks to vote on it. 00:20:32.672 --> 00:20:40.382 - So that way the public can see. I was gonna be my suggestion. Okay, that that's that gets me to April 1. And if 00:20:40.610 --> 00:20:46.723 - or good, I'd like to implement them on the 1st of April. That way, I don't have to do multiple mass 00:20:46.723 --> 00:20:52.896 - in a couple of months. So I don't have reservations about the numbers. I just want to tell you that. 00:20:52.896 --> 00:20:59.254 - I just. Since this is a discussion, are you comfortable with us just moving on? That's fine. Thank you. 00:20:59.254 --> 00:21:05.672 - Other questions or discussion on this? No, we'll move the privilege of the floor. Anyone having business 00:21:05.672 --> 00:21:08.606 - for the council, not part of our normal agenda? 00:21:10.530 --> 00:21:17.083 - Seeing no one rising in chambers, no one online, we'll now move to supervisor comments with the town 00:21:17.083 --> 00:21:23.895 - manager. I have a comment, actually. So I had sent around to the council on Saturday, I think, a revised 00:21:23.895 --> 00:21:30.448 - MOU between Rogers Group, the township and the town for the construction of the new fire station, or 00:21:30.448 --> 00:21:36.158 - it's the sublease, and Katie Stenberg counseled for Rogers Group after she received our 00:21:36.258 --> 00:21:42.135 - signed copy said she wasn't sure we could do a 99-year lease. She says, I think we can only do a 50. 00:21:42.135 --> 00:21:48.128 - So since it's been before council before, you've approved it. I have no problem with going off agenda. 00:21:48.128 --> 00:21:54.005 - But that is the only change to that contract is, I think it was in paragraph two, from 99-year lease 00:21:54.005 --> 00:21:59.939 - to a 50-year lease. OK. Can we do an auto renewal without objection? Evergreen? I can't remember what 00:21:59.939 --> 00:22:05.758 - the language says. I don't know, Scott. Maybe not. OK. Well, if we can't begin, it's still 50-year. 00:22:06.818 --> 00:22:17.192 - I don't think anybody in this room will be present to deal with it. I plan to be robotic. It may just 00:22:17.192 --> 00:22:27.769 - be a couple of lights that flash by that time, but hey. I think it's just a flat 50 years, Scott. Okay. 00:22:27.769 --> 00:22:33.566 - Do you need us to vote on it? Yes, please, if you would. 00:22:36.482 --> 00:22:48.219 - comments chief. Any motions. I make a motion to approve the updated. An amended. Lease from. 00:22:48.219 --> 00:23:01.092 - Rogers group and. And the township of Richland in the town of Ellisville. Second. Scott. Pam samples. 00:23:01.092 --> 00:23:06.014 - Yes. William Ellis yes motion carries. 00:23:12.002 --> 00:23:19.917 - Well, I was just going to say we have a reorganization meeting Wednesday. I think from now on, we're 00:23:19.917 --> 00:23:27.989 - going to have them every Wednesday until we finalize our plan. People should come to the meetings, get 00:23:27.989 --> 00:23:32.926 - involved, find out what's going on. The simple idea is that we 00:23:33.090 --> 00:23:40.374 - take Richland Township in the town of Ellisville and reorganize into one entity. There's a lot of reasons 00:23:40.374 --> 00:23:47.451 - why we think it's a good idea. There's a lot of moving parts. There's gotta be 100 questions you could 00:23:47.451 --> 00:23:54.597 - ask about it and I think we have most of the answers. We're moving towards a complete plan and it would 00:23:54.597 --> 00:24:00.094 - be good for people to come and be interested. After the meeting at six o'clock, 00:24:01.570 --> 00:24:07.948 - We have another meeting at seven o'clock for fire territory hearing. And so they could stay and get 00:24:07.948 --> 00:24:14.453 - involved in that as well. So people need to come out and start asking questions and get involved. And 00:24:14.453 --> 00:24:21.278 - hopefully they'll be excited about what we're trying to do. That's all I got. Chief. It's my understanding 00:24:21.278 --> 00:24:27.783 - fire territory meeting will be the same as it was the last time. Yeah. Okay. No, I have nothing else. 00:24:27.783 --> 00:24:30.398 - Thank you. Except that what I would like 00:24:31.234 --> 00:24:38.389 - to happen is for the boards to discuss the resolution to be signed by the township, the ordinance to 00:24:38.389 --> 00:24:45.686 - be signed by the town, the agreement, and the prospective equipment replacement fund ordinance so that 00:24:45.686 --> 00:24:52.841 - we can pretty much get it lined out at Wednesday's meeting because I will be zooming in for the last 00:24:52.841 --> 00:25:00.350 - meeting on the 25th. So I'd like to get the agreements pretty well lined out before I leave for vacation. 00:25:03.554 --> 00:25:11.616 - Last Saturday, Seven Oaks hosted the Battle of the Badges basketball game again, and the Fire actually 00:25:11.616 --> 00:25:19.834 - pulled this one out and won it. So I'm not sure that the proceeds all went to Pantry 279. I've not heard 00:25:19.834 --> 00:25:27.817 - how much they brought, but the auditorium was full and everybody was good game. It was close back and 00:25:27.817 --> 00:25:32.670 - forth the whole time. So it was a lot of fun. It was intense. 00:25:33.346 --> 00:25:49.104 - One with the oxygen tank So I myself as well as a couple of the foreman with the DPW we've been Talking 00:25:49.104 --> 00:26:02.590 - with Mike We are needing a vehicle for the fleet manager to be able to run parts and and 00:26:02.978 --> 00:26:11.904 - and such, so under, and I got with Darla, and under the ordinance that we have, or not the ordinance, 00:26:11.904 --> 00:26:20.742 - resolution, I guess, it's less than 50,000, so we got three quotes, and I just wanted to let you all 00:26:20.742 --> 00:26:29.755 - know that we was gonna get a 2025 Ford Ranger, it's a crew cab XL, just a plain XL model is what we're 00:26:29.755 --> 00:26:30.718 - gonna get. 00:26:31.394 --> 00:26:38.971 - and the lowest quote came from Capital City Ford up on Washington Street in Indianapolis. I don't know, 00:26:38.971 --> 00:26:46.475 - I guess that's all I need to do is just let them know what we're doing. I just add that Cody being the 00:26:46.475 --> 00:26:53.979 - fleet manager for the whole town is really working out well with that and the new DPW building and the 00:26:53.979 --> 00:27:00.318 - facility, it's just working out even better than we thought it would. Cody is kind of, 00:27:00.898 --> 00:27:07.954 - funny in a way, but if I'm out in the garage and he goes to get in a truck, somebody's running out there 00:27:07.954 --> 00:27:14.741 - going, no, no, no, no, I gotta go to this job, I need that truck, and Cody will go to another truck, 00:27:14.741 --> 00:27:21.528 - and so that's what it is. He just don't have something to be able to run parts, so now Cody can say, 00:27:21.528 --> 00:27:27.710 - that's my truck, stay out of it, so. Back for council comments. I just wanted to say, if on 00:27:27.710 --> 00:27:30.398 - the reorganization that Mike mentioned, 00:27:30.562 --> 00:27:37.893 - If you go to ellitsfillrichlandinfo.com, there's all the information we have on it in one place with 00:27:37.893 --> 00:27:45.732 - links to every place that has it. We have all the subcommittee reports that have details with the exception 00:27:45.732 --> 00:27:53.063 - of roads and streets. Okay, and sewer. So, and utilities, sewer, stormwater, whatever we phrased it. 00:27:53.063 --> 00:27:58.942 - And this Wednesday, we also have a presentation on the new districts for voting. 00:27:59.522 --> 00:28:07.145 - with maps that people will be able to, that public and the reorganization committee can actually visualize 00:28:07.145 --> 00:28:14.269 - where the new voting districts will be. Probably some of the best information or the most important 00:28:14.269 --> 00:28:20.894 - information to date that we have is how people will be able to be represented in the future. 00:28:25.346 --> 00:28:37.092 - I think there's just a generic thing that says subcommittee reports. And if not, that won't be that 00:28:37.092 --> 00:28:49.073 - shouldn't be a problem. But I keep it short and sweet because we have a hard stop at 10 till 7. We'll 00:28:49.073 --> 00:28:51.070 - stand adjourned.
