Dear Heavenly Father, we want to bless our new expanded town, but make sure that we're humble 00:00:16.695 --> 00:00:23.739 - enough to listen to those voices and make sure that we have enough wisdom to steer through this process 00:00:23.739 --> 00:00:30.782 - and rely on you, not our own methods. In your name, amen. Birthday boy. I pledge allegiance to the flag 00:00:31.042 --> 00:00:41.266 - of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, 00:00:41.266 --> 00:00:50.740 - with liberty and justice for all. Whenever you're ready, roll call. Scott Oldham? Yes. Dan Swafford? 00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:57.118 - Here. William Ellis? Yes, here. Trevor Sager? Pamela Samples?

Aye. Any opposed? Any abstaining? Abstain. It wasn't here. Action to pay 00:01:12.094 --> 00:01:19.312 - accounts payable vouchers and the payable vouchers. So moved. Second. Motion to second. All those in 00:01:19.312 --> 00:01:22.814 - favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstaining? 00:01:23.682 --> 00:01:31.176 - There is one resolution this evening, which is 27-2026, a transfer of funds for the police department. 00:01:31.176 --> 00:01:38.525 - So the police department made a request at the end of October to transfer $1,000 from their 374 arms 00:01:38.525 --> 00:01:41.726 - radar and equipment maintenance. Currently, 00:01:41.826 --> 00:01:49.065 - That line has $15,595.13, so if we were to transfer $1,000 out of it, it would bring the total down 00:01:49.065 --> 00:01:56.594 - to $14,595.13. It's gonna be going into their building maintenance, which is 234, and currently in that 00:01:56.594 --> 00:02:04.339 - appropriation line, we have $1,306.92, so that will bring that appropriation up to $2,306.92. Any specific 00:02:04.339 --> 00:02:10.782 - questions about what that'd be used for, I would please direct to the police department. 00:02:12.738 --> 00:02:20.201 - speak to this? I had an air conditioning problem over the summer, and so money was used to fix that, 00:02:20.201 --> 00:02:27.737 - and that ran that line short, and then we had a maintenance for our generator. That's why it's short. 00:02:27.737 --> 00:02:35.126 - Okay. All right. Questions from council? That is involved in transfer of funds from the public. And 00:02:35.126 --> 00:02:36.382 - back to council. 00:02:39.362 --> 00:02:46.695 - motion to approve resolution 27-2026 transfer of funds for police department motion second roll call 00:02:46.695 --> 00:02:54.028 - please Scott Oldham yes Dan Swafford William Ellis yes Pamela samples yes motion passes there are no 00:02:54.028 --> 00:03:01.651 - ordinances on first reading on second reading there is no old business under new business is the release 00:03:01.651 --> 00:03:06.878 - of developer bonds for developer bonds for value-built LLC good evening 00:03:07.394 --> 00:03:17.244 - Ernest C., the developer for value-built construction and a developer of prominence fields has completed 00:03:17.244 --> 00:03:27.470 - his phases one, two, and three, which are all phases of the subdivision. They've been inspected by planning, 00:03:27.470 --> 00:03:36.382 - DPW, and the MS4 inspector. All conditions have been met to complete that subdivision pursuant 00:03:36.610 --> 00:03:46.165 - to the plans. So we are requesting his cash bonds, which were in the form of certificates of deposit, 00:03:46.165 --> 00:03:54.783 - be released and ask town council approval for the same. How much money is we talking? State 00:03:54.783 --> 00:04:04.337 - total $601,034.74. Okay. Mike, do you have any issue with this? No. Okay. Questions from council? Any 00:04:04.337 --> 00:04:06.398 - motions from council? 00:04:08.962 --> 00:04:17.736 - motion to release developer bonds value dash bill LLC motion a second roll call please Scott Oldham 00:04:17.736 --> 00:04:26.948 - yes William Ellis and Pamela samples yes motion passes moving not a privilege of the floor anyone having 00:04:26.948 --> 00:04:31.774 - business for the council not part of our normal agenda 00:04:34.466 --> 00:04:42.150 - No one rising in chambers, no one rising online. We'll now move to the supervisor comments beginning 00:04:42.150 --> 00:04:49.985 - with the town manager. I would like to comment on prominence field and the bond that we just released. 00:04:49.985 --> 00:04:57.669 - We sure appreciate people like Ernest and their company coming into our town and putting effort into 00:04:57.669 --> 00:05:03.070 - making a nice subdivision, literally a small development village type. 00:05:03.298 --> 00:05:12.153 - Anyway, I just really appreciate the builders and the developers that we have in town right now. It's 00:05:12.153 --> 00:05:20.922 - one of the prime needs of our community, of the whole county, if not the whole nation, of affordable 00:05:20.922 --> 00:05:30.558 - housing, housing that looks good and is well built, and the subdivision looks good, so I really appreciate it. 00:05:30.882 --> 00:05:38.404 - And it's part of the reorganization effort that we keep this going on. People need a place to live. 00:05:38.404 --> 00:05:46.001 - Everybody's friends, family, especially their kids. And someday their kids' kids will need places to 00:05:46.001 --> 00:05:53.975 - live. And so I think it's a big deal. So I really appreciate the efforts that our developers and builders 00:05:53.975 --> 00:05:56.382 - make in LSO. Anything else? No. 00:05:59.458 --> 00:06:05.695 - Just a quick update on our open school resource officer spot. We're interviewing this week. We'll have 00:06:05.695 --> 00:06:11.750 - officers from the department and RBB on the panel for that. I believe there's an interview tomorrow 00:06:11.750 --> 00:06:17.805 - and an interview Thursday. So hopefully by the end of the week, we can have somebody picked and get 00:06:17.805 --> 00:06:24.103 - somebody started as soon as possible. And the only other thing I got is happy birthday to Chief Patton. 00:06:24.103 --> 00:06:29.310 - Birthday boy, no cupcakes for the crowd? No. No, okay. Do you want us to sing to you? 00:06:29.986 --> 00:06:37.280 - Kip's already done it. Okay. So I just got a notification that our Black Cat traffic slash radar counters 00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:44.367 - are in shipment right now, so we should have them any day. So as soon as myself and some of the office 00:06:44.367 --> 00:06:51.248 - staff gets trains on them, we'll get them out there and going hopefully within the next week or so. 00:06:51.248 --> 00:06:58.335 - Also, I just like to remind the public to try to get their leaves out as close to the edge of the road 00:06:58.335 --> 00:06:59.230 - as they can. 00:06:59.394 --> 00:07:06.904 - Some days we run one crew, some days we run two crews. So we try to get around the whole town within 00:07:06.904 --> 00:07:14.488 - one day, depending on how many leagues are out there. We'll be doing this until probably the first of 00:07:14.488 --> 00:07:21.775 - December or weather permitting. So if they've got any questions, they can call the office. Great, 00:07:21.775 --> 00:07:28.542 - thank you. Okay, council comments. I'd like to congratulate the Edgewood Marching Mustangs 00:07:28.866 --> 00:07:36.510 - for placing first at state. For the fifth year in a row. Yes, five years. Five years. They've tied two 00:07:36.510 --> 00:07:44.229 - others for that record. Five years. That is a wonderful accomplishment. I just want to thank the voters 00:07:44.229 --> 00:07:51.799 - for trusting us with the vision of moving forward with Ellisville reorganization. I know those and it 00:07:51.799 --> 00:07:57.662 - was a very close race in the township part and we are going to do every effort 00:07:58.242 --> 00:08:06.428 - to win your trust and win your belief that this is actually something that's gonna be good for the entire 00:08:06.428 --> 00:08:14.229 - community and just we had record turnout and I just wanna thank you.

It's very complicated. There's a lot of people have been putting a lot of 00:08:31.261 --> 00:08:36.911 - time and effort into this and it shows and Think in the years to come you're going to see where this 00:08:36.911 --> 00:08:42.506 - is a absolute turning point in the development of this town So again, thank you and congratulations 00:08:42.506 --> 00:08:46.590 - to everyone With that anyone else having business? We'll stand adjourned
