Do I just read it, or is there any introduction you guys want 00:01:40.736 --> 00:01:47.751 - beforehand? Just read it. Okay. All right. It's a proclamation from the town of Ellisville, Monroe County, 00:01:47.751 --> 00:01:54.830 - Indiana. To all present, let it be known. Whereas Chandler Funeral Homes was founded in August 1976 by G.L. 00:01:54.830 --> 00:01:55.486 - Chandler, 00:01:55.586 --> 00:02:02.050 - with a steadfast commitment to providing compassionate, dignified, and professional care to individuals 00:02:02.050 --> 00:02:08.389 - and families during life's most difficult moments. And whereas for 50 years, from August 1976 through 00:02:08.389 --> 00:02:14.604 - August 2026, G.L. Chandler and the dedicated staff of Chandler Funeral Homes have faithfully served 00:02:14.604 --> 00:02:21.441 - generations of families with kindness, integrity, and respect, earning the trust and confidence of Ellisville 00:02:21.441 --> 00:02:23.678 - community and the surrounding area. 00:02:24.258 --> 00:02:30.790 - And whereas Chandler Funeral Homes has compassionately guided thousands of families through times of 00:02:30.790 --> 00:02:37.451 - loss, helping them honor the lives and legacies of their loved ones with dignity, professionalism, and 00:02:37.451 --> 00:02:44.047 - unwavering care. And whereas beyond the professional services, GL Chandler and Chandler Funeral Homes 00:02:44.047 --> 00:02:50.773 - have demonstrated an enduring commitment to the community through their support of local organizations, 00:02:50.773 --> 00:02:51.678 - civic events, 00:02:51.810 --> 00:02:57.673 - charitable causes, and countless efforts that have strengthened the town of Ellitsville and improved 00:02:57.673 --> 00:03:03.420 - the lives and residence.

So thank you very much. Congratulations to Chandlers. 00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:10.478 - For this evening, there are no resolutions. There's an ordinance on first reading, which has me a little 00:04:10.478 --> 00:04:15.805 - bit confused. Ordinance 2026-13 to amend the employee handbook to convert unused holiday hours to floating 00:04:15.805 --> 00:04:20.784 - holiday hours for employees of the police department. Is this not the second time we've heard this? 00:04:20.784 --> 00:04:25.813 - Well, I amended it, and what you have in front of you is the amended version. But since I circulated 00:04:25.813 --> 00:04:30.991 - that, there's been a question about call out time and how that's to be treated. So I need some guidance 00:04:30.991 --> 00:04:32.286 - from the council on that. 00:04:32.866 --> 00:04:38.494 - So the change from last time was, as you're aware, the police department asked or the marshal asked 00:04:38.494 --> 00:04:44.178 - for a change to be made that states that employees of the police department who work 40 hours a week 00:04:44.178 --> 00:04:49.862 - and work a holiday will receive the normal rate of pay. After that, I was asked to add some language 00:04:49.862 --> 00:04:55.603 - about employees who work 40 hours and work on a holiday will receive holiday pay and one and one half 00:04:55.603 --> 00:05:01.456 - times the regular rate of pay. Since then, I've had a question about call out time and where that falls 00:05:01.456 --> 00:05:02.750 - into this, if it does. 00:05:02.946 --> 00:05:11.736 - So. Just how that's handled, if it takes precedence over 40 hours plus holiday or if it makes a difference. 00:05:11.736 --> 00:05:19.875 - It doesn't make a difference and it does take precedence, as far as I'm concerned. We've been doing 00:05:19.875 --> 00:05:28.177 - it for the last 28 years and I didn't know it was a question. OK, so call out pay is just is going to 00:05:28.177 --> 00:05:30.782 - be one and a half times, right? 00:05:30.978 --> 00:05:38.221 - That's beyond the 40 hours. That's right. But when you get called out, if you're only out like 37 minutes, 00:05:38.221 --> 00:05:45.126 - you get two hours. Everything after that is time and a half, which is more than it's two hours in one 00:05:45.126 --> 00:05:51.962 - minute, two hours in two minutes. But you always get minimum two hours to call out. It's always been 00:05:51.962 --> 00:05:57.310 - that. It's a straight rate. It's a straight rate. But it's a move point after. 00:05:58.178 --> 00:06:06.215 - One hour and 37 minutes or something like that. Well, then if you're getting time in half, you're somewhere 00:06:06.215 --> 00:06:13.954 - right in there. You get two hours and a minute. So it makes point of it. I guess I'm not sure. Not that 00:06:13.954 --> 00:06:21.545 - it matters. I'm not sure where that fits in this holiday. It doesn't. I don't know why it's even. OK. 00:06:21.545 --> 00:06:24.670 - Thank you. I was confused about that. OK. 00:06:26.338 --> 00:06:33.598 - We need to let this one float two weeks or since we've already seen it. If you've already seen it, or 00:06:33.598 --> 00:06:40.787 - since you've already seen it, if you're happy with the suggested change, you can pass it as amended. 00:06:40.787 --> 00:06:48.118 - I'm happy. Council, what's your pleasure? We've been dealing with this for a while, so I mean, I just, 00:06:48.118 --> 00:06:52.958 - if we're not, if delaying it is not going to make any changes, then 00:06:53.538 --> 00:07:02.583 - If it's not, does council wish to pass this on the first reading, or do we want to hold it for two weeks 00:07:02.583 --> 00:07:11.369 - just to see? But this is, I know at least the second or third time we discussed it. Yeah. What do you 00:07:11.369 --> 00:07:20.328 - want to add? It's short. All right. I move that ordinance number, I get this here, 2026-13 be submitted 00:07:20.328 --> 00:07:22.654 - for first reading. Second. 00:07:22.850 --> 00:07:33.994 - Motion to second roll call please. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you. I move that ordinance number 00:07:33.994 --> 00:07:45.471 - twenty twenty six dash thirteen be adopted on the same day in which it's introduced motion second roll 00:07:45.471 --> 00:07:48.926 - call please. Scott Holden yes. 00:07:49.058 --> 00:07:57.521 - Dan Swafford? Yes. William Ellis? Yes. Trevor Sager? Yes. Pamela Samples? Yes. Motion passes. I move 00:07:57.521 --> 00:08:06.153 - that Ordinance Number 2026-13 be adopted. Second. Motion second. Roll call, please. Scott Oldham? Yes. 00:08:06.153 --> 00:08:14.532 - Dan Swafford? Yes. William Ellis? Yes. Trevor Sager? Yes. Pamela Samples? Yes. Motion passes. Okay. 00:08:14.532 --> 00:08:15.454 - Thank you. 00:08:15.906 --> 00:08:23.344 - There are no ordinances on second reading. There is no old business. Under new business, it's a discussion 00:08:23.344 --> 00:08:30.505 - about the fire department open position. I'll try to make this as simple as possible. We'll start with 00:08:30.505 --> 00:08:37.526 - I'd like to do both positions tonight if possible, but I'm going to do them separate because I think 00:08:37.526 --> 00:08:44.478 - it'll make it a little easier. So the first one, I would like to bring the name Alex Halter to you. 00:08:44.802 --> 00:08:51.694 - to fill one of our current full-time spots, offer him a contingent offer based on his PERF physical 00:08:51.694 --> 00:08:59.068 - passing. He's got three years with us and been a good employee, no problems. So it's complete PERF packet, 00:08:59.068 --> 00:09:06.029 - not just the physical, right? Correct, yes. Okay. Do you want to do the second one right now when we 00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:13.059 - run separately, or do you want to wait? I think probably we'll want to make them separate. It'll make 00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:14.782 - sense when I explain it. 00:09:15.746 --> 00:09:24.513 - Okay, council. You said it was Alex Holter. Correct. Make a motion to approve Alex Holter becoming full-time 00:09:24.513 --> 00:09:32.315 - firefighter. Correct. Contingent on him passing his complete perf packet. Second. Motion second, 00:09:32.315 --> 00:09:40.680 - roll call. Scott Oldham. Yes. Dan Swafford. Yes. William Ellis. Yes. Trevor Sager. Yes. Pamela Samples. 00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:44.702 - Yes. Motion passes. The second one, I will have a 00:09:45.122 --> 00:09:55.221 - Open full-time position August 14th. I've already received a resignation letter from one of our firefighters 00:09:55.221 --> 00:10:05.227 - was hired up in the Marion County area. And so I would like to offer Amelia Mercer this position contingent 00:10:05.227 --> 00:10:13.566 - on one. We wouldn't send her for per physical or anything until after the 14th of August. 00:10:15.234 --> 00:10:22.662 - Okay, go ahead. Because the position doesn't open until the morning of the 14th and then the PERF physical. 00:10:22.662 --> 00:10:29.608 - So basically this allows me to go ahead and get the PERF physicals scheduled because there's a delay 00:10:29.608 --> 00:10:36.898 - in getting those. Does that make sense? Yes. So for some reason. But you're not asking to hire her before 00:10:36.898 --> 00:10:43.845 - she completes the PERF physical. Correct. It would be a contingent offer. So two things have to take 00:10:43.845 --> 00:10:44.670 - place. One, 00:10:44.834 --> 00:10:52.512 - It has to be the 14th or after, so that would clear out the existing firefighter that is resigning as 00:10:52.512 --> 00:11:00.416 - the end of his shift on the 13th. That's his last day of employment. OK. Seems a little more complicated 00:11:00.416 --> 00:11:08.095 - in my mind, but OK. That's the way you want to do it. I don't know why we need your way. I just don't 00:11:08.095 --> 00:11:11.934 - know why we couldn't approve her tonight for that. 00:11:12.034 --> 00:11:21.057 - Contingent upon an opening of occurring and her passing the purpose. I like that better Said motion 00:11:21.057 --> 00:11:30.261 - made so Yeah I'll second that work for you Darla. Yes If it works for you and works for me roll call, 00:11:30.261 --> 00:11:39.555 - please Yes, yes, yes Trevor Sager. Yes, Pamela samples. Yes motion passes Thank you. I just don't want 00:11:39.555 --> 00:11:40.638 - you have to 00:11:41.794 --> 00:11:49.090 - Let's play that juggling game. Now we'll move to privilege of the floor. Anyone having business for 00:11:49.090 --> 00:11:56.605 - the council not part of our normal agenda? Step up to the microphone, please. Sign in, tell us who you 00:11:56.605 --> 00:12:04.339 - are. You have a three minute time limit. Hi, my name's David Bauer, and I live on the cusp of Ellitsville 00:12:04.339 --> 00:12:10.686 - by Bender Lumber, and we're having an issue with the SIP, the new bar that has opened. 00:12:10.978 --> 00:12:20.759 - We're having a problem with noise pollution and light pollution and also trash and loitering. I kind 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:30.734 - of would like to know what the standard for occupancy both inside the building as well as on the patio 00:12:30.734 --> 00:12:39.934 - is. According to SILCRO 93.45, there's loud and unnecessary noise prohibited as well as 93.46. 00:12:40.098 --> 00:12:47.395 - prohibited noises 50 foot rule. We are a residential area right behind it and when they have their loud 00:12:47.395 --> 00:12:54.552 - music it's just we hear it all the time and when we ask them politely if they can turn the music down 00:12:54.552 --> 00:13:01.780 - they just actually turn it up louder so it's just become this kind of issue that we've been having and 00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:04.446 - I think it started pretty much on the 00:13:04.930 --> 00:13:12.590 - weekend of July, the end of July, where they had karaoke for five hours, and we had to endure this till 11 p.m. 00:13:12.590 --> 00:13:19.497 - So according to Bloomington, they have a noise ordinance till 10 p.m. I'd like to see that happen in 00:13:19.497 --> 00:13:26.267 - Ellsville too, because it is really an issue for us in that neighborhood, so. So. Okay, thank you. 00:13:26.267 --> 00:13:33.790 - Thank you. Anyone else? Step up, sign in. Do I have to sign in? Yes, ma'am. Sorry, I thought I saw you do it. 00:13:40.418 --> 00:13:47.707 - Yeah, my name's Jay Richardson. As you know, my core, I live. This is like a written store. 00:13:47.707 --> 00:13:55.709 - Ingrid's right, the sound level is just off the charts. When they started building this beer pub, it 00:13:55.709 --> 00:14:03.948 - was kind of nice. It was kind of a cool thing. But it didn't turn out like they quite said it was going 00:14:03.948 --> 00:14:08.702 - to be. They suggested that it was just going to be a small, 00:14:09.634 --> 00:14:23.530 - Tap Room, and it's turned out to be Deer Creek. There's music every weekend, both nights. And we live 00:14:23.530 --> 00:14:37.699 - 50 feet from the place. And the karaoke is just a, hello? I'd just like some clarification as to what's 00:14:37.699 --> 00:14:39.198 - permitted. 00:14:39.362 --> 00:14:47.512 - The sound level is, like I said, is really high. I think we might have gotten the lights maybe taken 00:14:47.512 --> 00:14:55.743 - care of as far as that goes. We'll see. But, you know, parking is a situation, is an issue. You know, 00:14:55.743 --> 00:15:04.216 - they park over at Bender Lumber, which I found out today that Bender Lumber doesn't really have an issue 00:15:04.216 --> 00:15:08.574 - with that, unfortunately. But the problem with it is, 00:15:08.706 --> 00:15:16.417 - opens them up to having music venue that, you know, it's unlimited people. How many do you want to have 00:15:16.417 --> 00:15:23.832 - there? But that's our concerns. My wife and I's concerns is, my biggest concern is the sound level. 00:15:23.832 --> 00:15:30.653 - So, I'd like to see that looked at. And the other issue was, I think a couple weekends ago, 00:15:30.653 --> 00:15:38.142 - I warned Greg, one of the owners, that most likely one of the neighbors will call the police on him. 00:15:38.306 --> 00:15:47.073 - with that sound level, and they did. And they issued them a $25 ticket, which did absolutely nothing. 00:15:47.073 --> 00:15:55.753 - They didn't turn it down. They paid the ticket, then find out that they only issue one ticket a day. 00:15:55.753 --> 00:16:04.692 - Well, what's to keep them from just keep playing it as long as they want? That doesn't seem right. $25. 00:16:04.692 --> 00:16:07.614 - I'll pay you that right up front. 00:16:08.194 --> 00:16:14.313 - You know, I don't want to shut them down, obviously, because I don't want the property sitting empty 00:16:14.313 --> 00:16:20.492 - right in front of my house. But by the same token, I'm thinking, you know, with that sound level, how 00:16:20.492 --> 00:16:26.914 - in the world would ever sell my house? You know, it devalued it instantly. So I think it's just something 00:16:26.914 --> 00:16:33.033 - to consider and to look at to see, you know, what should be done or could be done. OK. So. Thank you 00:16:33.033 --> 00:16:34.366 - so much. Anyone else? 00:16:45.762 --> 00:16:53.761 - Tracy Richardson, Jay Richardson's wife. I also have a concern that we do have a permanent easement 00:16:53.761 --> 00:17:02.000 - through the SIP, which causes traffic issues in trespassing. People parking and blocking the easement, 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:10.239 - even though we do have the adjoining easement to from the Bender area to the private drive. But we had 00:17:10.239 --> 00:17:14.078 - put notes, signs, no trespassing because we had 00:17:14.562 --> 00:17:24.294 - A couple weeks ago, people coming onto our property, coming from Bender, and driving through the easement, 00:17:24.294 --> 00:17:33.571 - and it's been a big hassle. And that's a big concern, because when we have a medical emergency, which 00:17:33.571 --> 00:17:42.302 - both my husband and I have, I've had breast cancer, he's had triple bypass. We don't need this. 00:17:42.530 --> 00:17:49.495 - And if we have a medical emergency, the first place they're going to go is right through the easement, 00:17:49.495 --> 00:17:56.663 - that easement there, because that was our primary drive. And also, you know, the privacy of our property, 00:17:56.663 --> 00:18:03.763 - the lights, he thinks they're correct at which they have been shutting them off at night, which is nice, 00:18:03.763 --> 00:18:10.660 - but they still reflect over onto our property. And we can't even enjoy our patio. We can't sit on our 00:18:10.660 --> 00:18:11.742 - patio and enjoy 00:18:12.034 --> 00:18:19.567 - our music, our time, and not have to see everything lit up in our backyard or our front yard as well. 00:18:19.567 --> 00:18:27.025 - And then to top, the trash is not being contained in their trash cans, so when the guys come to pick 00:18:27.025 --> 00:18:32.638 - the trash up, it's flying all in front of the property in the easement. So. 00:18:48.194 --> 00:18:55.243 - I'm Julia Mobley. I'm the newest member of the neighborhood. My husband and I moved in in May of this 00:18:55.243 --> 00:19:02.292 - year. Beautiful little neighborhood. We thought it was quiet, quaint, back off the road. We were told 00:19:02.292 --> 00:19:09.203 - it was a pub, which didn't detour us from buying the property because we thought, okay, it's a pub. 00:19:09.203 --> 00:19:14.110 - How many people can fit in that little building? Well, it's escalated. 00:19:14.338 --> 00:19:21.830 - Oh, every weekend it's getting bigger and bigger. Bigger bands, more people, more noise. I'm the one 00:19:21.830 --> 00:19:29.175 - that called the police because that's what I was told to do by my, I can't remember his last name, 00:19:29.175 --> 00:19:36.815 - I'm sorry, I'm new to the neighborhood. But it's so loud at our house and we're next door to Tracy and 00:19:36.815 --> 00:19:42.750 - I don't know how they stand it. I can hear it in our living room with our TV on 00:19:43.394 --> 00:19:50.385 - And that's the opposite end of our home. And it just, the last Saturday night, the noise just kept getting 00:19:50.385 --> 00:19:56.722 - louder and louder and louder. And then it, I don't know, after they get all drunk or what it is, 00:19:56.722 --> 00:20:03.255 - I don't know. I'm not against people drinking. I'm not against this being a little pub, but it just 00:20:03.255 --> 00:20:09.854 - seems like it's growing and there's more people and I'm worried about security for our neighborhood. 00:20:10.882 --> 00:20:16.636 - You know, we're just right down the road. People get drinking and you don't know what they might or 00:20:16.636 --> 00:20:22.563 - might not do. We're actually gonna install a security system because of this, because I've never lived 00:20:22.563 --> 00:20:28.892 - in a neighborhood where I was concerned about my safety. My husband and I are, we've been in the Ellitsville, 00:20:28.892 --> 00:20:34.761 - our boys went to Ellitsville. We know Ellitsville. We've been in the area and I've never, I just, I'm 00:20:34.761 --> 00:20:39.422 - baffled that this is even happening in right in the middle of 46 in Ellitsville. 00:20:39.906 --> 00:20:46.762 - Because it's not a quiet little quaint place of a pub that we were told it was going to be. So I'm concerned 00:20:46.762 --> 00:20:53.493 - about our security. I'm concerned about the noise and what it's going to do to our property value. Because 00:20:53.493 --> 00:21:00.223 - if I'd have known this, I would have never had the house. I mean, and I hate to say that. It's a beautiful 00:21:00.223 --> 00:21:03.934 - area. I don't know if you know where we are back in there. 00:21:04.482 --> 00:21:14.858 - It's a little gem and Elksfield's a nice community and I hate to see these things happen to the community. 00:21:14.858 --> 00:21:24.749 - Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. Good job, honey. Anyone else? Privilege of the floor. Seeing none, we'll 00:21:24.749 --> 00:21:32.798 - move now to council or supervisor comments, I'm sorry. Starting with town manager. 00:21:34.786 --> 00:21:45.262 - That rounds it out nicely. Council comments. I guess I just, with the public comment, just want to Darla, 00:21:45.262 --> 00:21:55.638 - what's our noise ordinance, the times again? Well, it's 6 to 11 is the quiet time, but the first speaker 00:21:55.638 --> 00:22:00.382 - correctly cited the code section that discusses 00:22:02.018 --> 00:22:09.017 - Prohibition of playing musical instruments, among other things, in such a way as to disturb the peace 00:22:09.017 --> 00:22:16.016 - and quiet and comfort of the neighboring inhabitants at any time with louder volume than is necessary 00:22:16.016 --> 00:22:23.014 - for convenient hearing for the person or persons who are in the room, vehicle or chamber in which the 00:22:23.014 --> 00:22:29.876 - machine or device is operated. And so the procedure is, if it's plainly audible at a distance of 50 00:22:29.876 --> 00:22:31.454 - feet from the building 00:22:31.586 --> 00:22:40.066 - vehicle or structure, it's prima facie evidence of a violation. Okay. And to the police, so $25 is the 00:22:40.066 --> 00:22:48.298 - most we can give? Under the current code section, yes. It's a Class E ordinance violation. Will you 00:22:48.298 --> 00:22:56.531 - say something? Go ahead. Yeah, please. So I'm aware of the problem, and I was made aware of it last 00:22:56.531 --> 00:23:00.894 - week. Yes. Yeah. And so I reached out to the owners. 00:23:01.122 --> 00:23:08.209 - I talked to one owner that I think he's a silent partner, and I guess the other two people that own 00:23:08.209 --> 00:23:15.720 - it were supposed to get back in town, and he was going to make sure they called me. That hasn't happened. 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:22.807 - It's Monday. But I've talked to the police about it. I've talked to planning about it, and I intend 00:23:22.807 --> 00:23:23.870 - to look at it. 00:23:24.162 --> 00:23:30.929 - and see how we can mitigate it. I mean, you know, I agree. It was supposed to be a pub. They've done 00:23:30.929 --> 00:23:37.897 - a really nice job of making the place look nice. But we've got civilians running up against commercial, 00:23:37.897 --> 00:23:44.798 - and it's a problem. So I hope to be able to come up with a solution that'll make everybody happy. I've 00:23:44.798 --> 00:23:51.230 - seen the pictures of the lights, and the lights are off the charts too bright. And so I've just 00:23:51.682 --> 00:24:01.081 - We haven't resolved it. I haven't talked to the owners, but we are working on it, just so you know. 00:24:01.081 --> 00:24:10.667 - OK. There is also fencing on the outside of the pub. That butts up against one of the properties. OK. 00:24:10.667 --> 00:24:20.254 - And I mean, it's right there. There isn't any, other than the easement itself, there isn't any space. 00:24:21.634 --> 00:24:32.050 - So I, too, have looked at it. And so we're hoping that that fencing can extend and maybe hold not only 00:24:32.050 --> 00:24:42.365 - the noise, but the light in that immediate area. And so it's an ongoing situation. We hope to have it 00:24:42.365 --> 00:24:49.950 - resolved as soon as possible. OK. What time does the music start and stop? 00:24:50.850 --> 00:24:58.581 - I live right there too. I think it depends on what they have going on with with with what their program 00:24:58.581 --> 00:25:06.014 - is who they have scheduled as bands, who the bands are. So it's going to vary. I mean, is it mostly 00:25:06.014 --> 00:25:08.318 - weekends or are they doing it. 00:25:15.874 --> 00:25:25.353 - I haven't heard of music, but it's bright, and if it's as loud as it is bright, I can, you know, it's 00:25:25.353 --> 00:25:34.924 - a problem. I live right by tractor supply, so I'll keep an ear out, too, and see if I can hear it. Can 00:25:34.924 --> 00:25:43.102 - I add one thing real quick? If you come to the mic. Yeah. Also, has anyone checked with 00:25:44.034 --> 00:25:51.815 - and see if they've got their outside seating permit with excise. Well, you can bet excise is checkered. 00:25:51.815 --> 00:25:59.821 - Oh, sorry, Mike. Go ahead. I was just going to suggest the issue wasn't really that bad until they started 00:25:59.821 --> 00:26:07.527 - having bands there. When they start having bands with drummers and bass players, that's when the sound 00:26:07.527 --> 00:26:13.438 - levels got to automatically go up. And they're outside? They're outside, yeah. 00:26:13.858 --> 00:26:22.875 - But if they stick to acoustic guitars, which is what we thought it was going to be, a singer-songwriter 00:26:22.875 --> 00:26:31.892 - kind of venue, it's not bad. But I mentioned to Greg, one of the owners, that the cops might get called 00:26:31.892 --> 00:26:40.736 - on tonight. It was a 10-piece band with horns and drums. Really? It was so loud in my house, my walls 00:26:40.736 --> 00:26:41.950 - were shaking. 00:26:42.882 --> 00:26:49.380 - and I'm recovering from his surgery and I was about to explode. But anyways, if they kept it 00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:56.787 - as a singer-songwriter thing, that would be fine, but still keeping the volume in check, but to a certain 00:26:56.787 --> 00:27:03.844 - degree. And Greg mentioned to me, well, he planned on having something that you and I could sit down 00:27:03.844 --> 00:27:10.622 - and have a beer and hear each other and not have to yell over the band. So that's not happening. 00:27:11.874 --> 00:27:19.758 - So I think if they did do that, that would be nice. As far as building the fence higher, you probably 00:27:19.758 --> 00:27:27.333 - weren't around here at the time, but Mike was. I don't want to see cinema west over there either, 00:27:27.333 --> 00:27:35.526 - you know? I don't want to see these 20-foot walls of fence. I don't think those were there for the noise. 00:27:35.526 --> 00:27:41.246 - I agree, they were. I was just talking visually. Well, not even visually. 00:27:41.602 --> 00:27:49.375 - But. Well, I think the proper thing is for the town, which will be me to talk to the owners and then 00:27:49.375 --> 00:27:57.224 - I can see you. OK. Maybe I'll try to make it happen before Friday night. And that's fine. I don't you 00:27:57.224 --> 00:28:05.150 - know, I don't want any argument with them. No, no, I get it. It's it's it's a growing pains of a small 00:28:05.150 --> 00:28:11.230 - town. But I want them to be successful. But somebody that's already lived here 00:28:11.362 --> 00:28:19.776 - and lights are quiet nights, I can see where it could be a problem. I saw the light, the lighting itself 00:28:19.776 --> 00:28:28.190 - was, it looked like close encounters or something. Yeah, yeah, okay. Okay, I'll come see you, I promise. 00:28:28.190 --> 00:28:36.684 - Okay, okay, you go around that. I do. Other council comments? Seeing no further business for the council, 00:28:36.684 --> 00:28:38.046 - we're adjourned.
