January 28th, 2025 Meeting

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which

it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Chair? Chair. Okay. And you hit the go button, right, Sonya?

I don't know if you want to move it forward, it's to the front, not the speaker.

Now, maybe we can leave it. Okay.

In your packet is the agenda for today's meeting.

I'd entertain a motion to adopt.

Make a motion to adopt. Second. Okay, motion made, seconded. Any discussion?

Okay, hearing none, all those in favor? Aye. Aye.

Okay, also in your packet are the minutes from the January 14th meeting.

I would entertain a motion to approve. I'll move. I'll second. Okay, motion made, seconded. Any discussion?

Additions, deletions, corrections? All looked good to me.

Okay, all those in favor? Aye. Aye. No comment. No public.

Utility clerk, did Janet want to do that or no? Okay, that's fine.

We'll maybe have something next meeting.

Public works, Steve finally made a 2025 meeting. Thanks for being here.

No, I have no problem.

Library and construction started working on the building, the shop.

They got it all roughed out, now they're waiting for an electrician to get in there to rough his work in.

And then I don't know if we want to discuss giving the McGuire iron contract to the attorney

or not, since we never got our yearly maintenance.

When do they bill us?

Is that first of the year, is it coming?

I think they bill us fiscal week, don't they? Yes.

So, like, coming up in June or July then?

But I don't know if their yearly maintenance goes off at January to January.

Yeah, because that's 20-ish grand, right?

Sounds like it's... 16? 14? Wasn't all chaos.

But aren't we in a contract with them until we pay that off?

Yeah, basically, yeah, we're in a contract for 10 years or whatever, but it's always, it does,

it's just automatically reused, too, I think.

I'll have to pull it. Okay.

Yeah, I don't think we can have Samantha take a look at anything.

I think at any time we don't need that on the agenda.

So, Zach, would you mind taking a look at this contract?

And then offline we can maybe get into the weeds as to what's going on.

But this has to do with the water tower in the middle of town. Okay.

Okay, Steve, anything else? I don't think so.

Is Gordy giving you, I know we're waiting on an electrician now, but any sort of a completion date?

No, yeah, that all depends on... basically the completion date depends on Mr. Wire.

That's scary. Supposedly, does Border States come on Wednesday, Seth? Yeah, I believe so.

He said that there should be some wire coming on Wednesday that they're going to drop here.

Yeah, it's either Wednesday or Thursday. Mr.

Wire thought it was Wednesday. Okay.

Okay, anyone have any questions for Steve?

Oh, and while we're here, can we discuss removing some of those stop signs? Yes.

I'd like to eliminate some of the four-ways around the school. Can't. Why?

It's a safe zone for children.

But not when people don't stop.

Yeah, I know. I mean, not all schools don't have four-way stops.

Yeah, those are the newest stop signs in town.

Steve did a, not this Steve, but Top Steve did a traffic survey, and I think Dwayne, Dwayne

was sheriff, Steve was the under sheriff, right? Correct.

And he came and did a traffic survey and suggested it, and we thought, sure, you know, whatever.

I know one of the things that I hear complaints about the most is if you're heading south on

A Street, you have to stop on that hill, Tennis Court Hill, whatever you want to call it there

on the far east end of the school.

So then that, you know, as soon as your first vehicle's tires break loose, then it's just, you

know, in effect, then everybody else is spinning out.

You know, there hasn't been any accidents there, but.

Because we did remove one by the mortuary to make it a three-way stop, so the buses can just

go basically for the buses.

Yeah, that way the buses can go through there and everybody has to stop for the buses.

I know that the one that you're talking about there, the southeast, I guess it would be.

In the southeast corner of the school, that one's a pain because you're on that hill, and I

know the one that's right there next to the fire department is also bad because it never really

melts, and when it does melt, it turns into a puddle.

It never sees the sun right there in front of the fire hole.

If it's up to you, it's basically your stop signs.

We were just told it's a safe school zone, so.

But those are going to be your ones that are split to the west.

And the one that's right there, what is it, I guess it would be the southwest corner as well. Is that Timmons? It's Timmons. Yeah, Timmons and...

Right next to Mortuary, people slide through that one as well, too.

When I look at it, if they're actively braking and trying to stop, I've slid into that intersection in those three areas.

And I know you're supposed to be going 15 on those streets.

It doesn't matter if you're going 15, you're going to slide down that hill anyway.

Yeah, even at 5, I've slid through that one on the upper side.

That's up to you guys on how you want to put them around your school.

I can't force the city to...

Yeah, I mean, I feel we could reach out, get the school's opinion as well, and go from there.

I do know that they, well, if you keep the ones that run north and south near the fire hole,

that'll help keep the kids safe, too.

And that's why I know they start right across that road.

That's why I suggest keep those north and south ones by the fire hole.

Back and forth to the library and kids club.

They move quicker than some of the vehicles.

Thank you for my suggestions.

Okay, anything else for Public Works? Okay, zoning.

Steve, you got any zoning? No.

We didn't even have a quarter mid-August.

This is the time where it's nice to go through the zoning regulations and identify things to

change, but that's the least favorite part of the job.

So, the next meeting will be mid-February sometime? Or is it quarterly? Quarterly, but we have... A couple permits?

We have short-time rentals that have to be approved.

Okay. Plus we need a little more direction with those. Who's doing what? Yeah.

And I did bring that book in. For codes?

Okay. I called Perry's office and it sounds like based on where we are currently, we don't need

to adopt the newest International Fire Code, but it's probably good just to have it anyway.

Well, we should have access to it. Okay.

On the state fire inspection, if there's a code that's required, it's actually listed on that inspection sheet. On that check sheet. List. List and sheet.

And I picked the wrong front and backs of the words.

I had a minor stroke there. That dislikes you. I know.

So, do you... You gave us a copy of that after you completed it, right? Yeah.

Did you send Cam a copy of it too? She did. Okay. Okay.

So, how many of those have we done? Just two?

You did one and Neil did one?

Only three, because I didn't know Neil did one. Oh, yeah.

Was it 502 Wall Street?

Right next to the dog room? Oh, yeah. Or a little...

Okay.

Yeah. Short-term rentals has been fun.

So, how many do we have right now?

One, four, five. On locations?

Because there's Stantoff's, there's one next door.

Stantoff's haven't turned anything in. Oh, you just mean... Just name it. Active right now. Yeah, active ones.

So, we got one next door, Stantoff's, Laura Lobos, Frederick's, and... Yeah, Rochelle and Josh. Oh, yeah. And I don't know...

We don't know what the guy... Jeremy, right?

But Jeremy's the one over here.

Because he was signed up for short-term rental, but I haven't heard anything from him since we...

I think his in-laws are living in that house right now. Jeremy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jeff Jones. Yes. Oh, sorry.

Yeah, because he had originally... Yeah. Applied for it, right?

We haven't heard anything from him since...

He got approved last year, but we haven't heard anything back after the letter was sent.

I don't think anybody else has lived in there other than his in-laws or whoever's in there.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Okay.

Because Farver's isn't one anymore. Yeah. And then... And Aubrey Summers. Yeah, yeah. Stopped hers, too.

Yeah, because Farver's turned into a commercial. Backed commercial.

Did you say Frederick's, though? Julie's. Julie's. Julie's.

That's the one over there, right? She sold that. Yeah.

Okay. Moving on. Anything else for zoning?

I guess we'll have to...

We should maybe try to have a February meeting, then, if we need to go through those.

What date will the February one be?

It's probably the Wednesday after our... 12th? It's the second Wednesday. Yeah.

I should be able to make that one.

That's at 2 o'clock? I think they've been at 2, right? I think they did.

They changed it to 3.

Is there an agenda right there? That's the law enforcement.

Yeah, I think it's 3. Okay.

I think it got changed to 3. Okay.

Originally, it was 2, and then it got changed to 3.

Okay. Moving on. Study commission report. Well, not much. Not much there.

They're going to meet again here in February.

There were some rumors going around that we were going to have...

Wyatt, are you going to resign? What?

What was your question?

From the study commission? Okay, good.

There's rumor going around that we might have some people resigning, but nobody told me about it.

You don't want me to hold it, I don't know.

At least you don't know about it.

Maybe you were voted off. Yeah.

It just breaks my heart.

Okay, so enough of the report.

They're meeting coming up here in the first part of February.

Wyatt, we'll keep it with you with the fire chief's report. Not much with this.

I know they put some new lights up in the hall.

I don't know if you received a bill on that yet, Sonia.

I didn't know they were putting lights up, but apparently they did. Nice. Yeah.

Is there a switch for that flag pole light?

Because it's just on all the time.

I talked with Collin about that, about just bending that light over so it shines on the sign. Okay.

So we're going to just take a ladder so it points to that metal sign that's above the door,

rather than straight in the air. Yeah.

Because it's pointing at nothing. Yeah. It's the bat light. Well, it's true.

You could probably put a photo eye on that thing, huh?

I think it doesn't have a photo eye. I don't think so. I don't think so.

I looked at it one day.

It is an LED bulb, though. Is it?

I don't even think it's on the timer, is it?

No, I think it's just on.

I think it's just on.

Probably switch right inside the door for it. Probably.

You've never found it before.

You know, we'll get it turned so it faces the sign, so at least the sign will be lit up at night.

Another net net for us.

The county did acquire a semi. Yeah, saw that.

I guess the goal is to get a tanker and have their own water tender instead of using pro-co-ops. Oh. So.

Where did he keep it? That's a good question. I don't know.

I think the idea is to leave it somewhere around the fertilizer plant.

Then Nick Dighans can grab it as he comes through.

So it doesn't cost anything.

It costs us to ship it here. Yeah, that was it.

But it doesn't cost anything.

After three years, we take ownership of it. Cool.

And it was a government surplus situation.

So it's not geared for the highways now.

It came from that marine base there over in California. Pendleton? Camp Pendleton, yeah.

They have some dump trucks there, but they're all spoken for.

I mean, it seems to be a pretty nice truck.

We get a trailer, it makes sense. Yeah.

Yeah. More flexibility with water.

We could have two points of refill rather than one.

But other than that, we have nothing. Okay.

This ain't the fire department, but Lions had their thing this weekend. 60 kids showed up for this one. Good.

Probably the largest turnout we've had.

It's a really good one.

It's definitely getting used.

Cool. Good deal. Free hot dogs and hot chocolate? Yeah. Ran out of both. That's a good day.

Some of these kids can eat.

Okay. Thanks, Wyatt. Oh. Actually, one more. Oh, jeez.

Because I didn't know anything about this.

So this fee you're doing for this inspection thing, one, personally, I don't want it. I don't want that. It takes 20 minutes. That's no big deal.

If you take that money and put it somewhere else that could be used, that's not something I

need, nor do I want it. Oh, okay. So, yeah.

Thank you, but I would put that towards something else. Okay.

Yeah, it was just, you know, if we're going to have these, you know, you guys in these part-time

positions have more and more duties, and if it takes away from the paying job and family time

and stuff, we just try to be fair.

You know, everybody who's volunteering for something is already on another board or two, so...

I do it on the clock.

All right. Well, can I say thanks now, Wyatt? You done? Okay.

You got one more thing, Wyatt? Yeah. All right. Sheriff's report. Sheriff Lowe. All right. All right.

So, Pauly, you're still in jail.

Deputy Tuggle is on day two of training, so we're moving there.

I did sit down with our new city attorney, and we were talking about some of this stuff for,

I guess, like the fees for citations for in the city, and how we can probably, or talk with

city council, see if we can get you guys to adopt some of the fee schedules from the state itself,

from the MCA, just so they're not like...

Moving forward, there is a bond for citations within the city.

I spoke briefly with you about it, too.

With that being said, the interlocal agreement, did you guys get a copy of that?

I signed a copy of that from... Yeah. I haven't seen it.

Because I signed that before the last meeting that we had for the Law Enforcement Advisory Board. I signed that.

But I noticed there was a city attorney.

I don't know if Ben signed it, or did you sign it? I haven't seen it.

I wonder if Ben signed it.

Okay, so I know the commissioners.

Kristy still had a copy of it.

I signed a copy there.

So I'm surprised you guys haven't gotten that local agreement back.

I thought we signed it last time.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's all signed.

We might not have our copy yet. I just noticed it's...

When we had the Law Enforcement Advisory Board meeting, it was in there, but there wasn't any

signatures, so I figured it was just a blank one.

But I did sign that one.

Other than that, I mean, the safety zone around the school, that's up to you guys.

If we remove the stop signs, that's cool, I guess.

We can put them somewhere else.

But I have noticed that... I don't believe...

Steve, were there any speed limit signs I didn't see? I don't know.

I'm might want to look at that, because even though we do 20, 25 miles an hour, people coming

off the highway here at 45, they stop, and they think it's a 35 mile an hour zone.

That would be state, though. Oh, is that...

You mean coming into town from over here, then you turn south?

The Canadians will do the 35.

I'm pretty sure there's a 25 before you hit... There is.

There's one, there's a 35 by Nemont, and then there's a 25. Yeah, going north. I'm talking heading south.

I'm pretty sure there's one over here. From up north? Yeah.

There's two, it's a step down. Yeah, there is.

It may have been... because we pulled them over the day that the snow was blowing pretty bad,

so those signs may have been covered. I have no idea.

I didn't see them when I drove through there.

But those are all state highway signs.

Yeah, but that was still considered part of the highway, even though it runs through town.

I'll get with the state and talk to him about it then, too.

Would he be in charge of the U-turn signs, too? Yep.

All the signs on Main Street are...

The only one that's ours is the radar sign.

Because I keep getting asked that same question when we stop people for doing U-turns.

They're like, well, it's not posted. Yeah, it is.

There's something up there, because when you...

But it says no U-turn in this intersection.

There used to be one by the Pioneer.

I was going to say...

Yeah, that's where it's at, facing. If you're driving south.

If you put a sign that says no U-turn right there, they figure that's the only place they're

not allowed to do a U-turn.

Because if you read city code, it says you can do it within certain areas.

But they're not understanding that Main Street is still considered a highway.

Well, and there's double yellow there.

You can't cross double yellow.

You turn left to cross double yellow.

You're not supposed to do an U-turn.

And so that's just some of the things that we're coming up against right now.

But I still cite them for doing a U-turn, because it's not supposed to do a U-turn on a highway.

And then... I think that's pretty much what I got.

Unless you guys have anything from my office.

No, so Clint and I did meet about a week ago or so.

In my free time, I'm trying to do a little research on citations that are issued versus what

happens to them as they go through the court.

I was pretty disappointed in what I found so far.

Clint did bring me a stack.

You know, yay, thick, going back a year, a year plus.

I know there were some issues.

Tammy and I, a couple attorneys, the judge, the sheriff.

We all had a Zoom conference call.

And tried to get everyone on the same page with how citations are supposed to be filled out

if it's in the city.

I think there was some confusion slash different opinions.

Might be the better explanation.

So I think that was, and this was, what was it, two months ago now probably?

Anyway, so yeah, going through these, I just, I'm having a hard time paying for a city judge

if we don't have one.

So I just want to try to hold him accountable.

If he's doing something, I guess wrong or whatever, let's get to the bottom of it.

If it's not his fault and all these tickets are getting thrown out because they are filled out

incorrectly, let's get to the bottom of it.

So Tammy did spearhead that meeting.

Thank you for that because it was much needed.

So I got my eye on a couple right now that just went to court.

So I kind of want to see what happens there and then go from there.

I did learn that if there is a mistake on the citation, the judge can correct me if I'm wrong,

both of you guys, give it back to the officer or to the sheriff and say, hey, you need to do this instead of this.

They can correct it and then they can still be cited, right?

Well, the city attorney can file an amended complaint.

Essentially, basically, you know, after consulting with law enforcement, tweak it a little bit.

That the judge's refusal doesn't necessarily mean a dismissal with prejudice.

It would be without, meaning the same comment could be recharged properly. If that makes sense. Okay, yep.

So anyway, just, you know, I'm trying to look into as much stuff as I can.

This is all Greek to me.

I don't know the inner workings of citation to judge.

If they fight it, if it's thrown out, how it, you know, whatever.

I've been going through, I guess it's the full court program.

You can do a citation search.

You can do a name search.

You know, there's some privileged information that's not there.

But there is enough information there that you can kind of see what's going on.

So anyway, that's what I've been doing.

I appreciate my meeting with Clint when he brought up all that stuff.

He brought more than I thought he was going to.

So I'm kind of bummed that I've got to go through that much stuff. But it's fine.

And Clint, I guess the only thing I would say is, you know, like just another, even if it's

handwritten or even if you orally give it, you know, number of citations, some heavy hitters.

You know, keep the privileged information out, obviously. But things like that.

You know, the five-minute cliff notes of, you know, the last month.

That way we kind of got a pulse as to what's going on.

I wonder if you can print dockets, and Tammy might be able to answer that.

Can you print like a docket of outstanding tickets from full court? Do you know? I don't know.

I'd have to look at what the public can see.

Yeah, it is really limited.

But at least just cause numbers and parties anyway.

And I wonder, since the turnover, how much of it's been entered so far. Yeah, that's true.

But, you know, I just kind of wonder if, you know, I talked with Shauna earlier, and I know

they've got a lot on their plate, but somehow it would be nice to have a tracking system at

the sheriff's office as well, and maybe they're able to print something. We can print.

Our CAD system allows us to print out what's gone through. Okay.

It gives you a citation number, it gives you a date, it gives you a time, basically.

We can do one for a public version, which will eliminate a lot of information on that.

But citations, I mean, citations are pretty much.

Once they, correct me if I'm wrong, once they hit court, they're public knowledge, right? Correct.

So whether the dissemination from the court was to dismiss or to, you know, fine, it doesn't

have to be a public docket.

It's a public docket at that point.

But the ones that are proceeding in court before they get there, it could be, yeah, you've got

this citation that's been issued, or this case that's been issued.

You might not be able to know the names or the, you know, of who's behind it or who's involved with it.

But we can print stuff like that, even if we have to put it into a different thing.

And to follow up with that, I even need to know, because our system is tracked federally too.

If we don't turn in, like, felonies, you know, we turn everything in.

Our computers get read, whether it's a case or a citation or whatever.

If it's a felony DUI, yeah, we could, the city, the county, the division, you know, the office,

they could potentially be receiving money from the feds.

It's called a NIBRS program.

I'm sure you're familiar with it.

You know what NIBRS is, right?

We got to turn this stuff in and the state reviews it and says, okay, yeah, your NIBRS compliant.

It opens it up for potential grants for the city and the county.

But without getting the information back from the court on what the outcome was, I can't track it.

And there's another step in between there as well.

Once you issue the ticket, the person can go up immediately and pay that ticket.

And so even though you would see that you had written maybe that their appearance date was,

you know, two weeks from today, if they go up this afternoon and pay it, there's no way to know

without going in that they're not going to be seen.

I mean, I guess that's another level of it. Yeah, I know.

I mean, it's just, there's little holes, little bridges that have got to be crossed.

I guess my question is, is once you issue the citation, if nothing happens, how does Samantha

know that she could look at the, that's the gap to me that's the most important.

How do we track that gap?

That would be part of the program that I'm trying to get installed into these tough books that we received.

It's called NOAA Programs, which means it would allow me to do e-citations.

I can print one and give it to the, you know, the individual that got the citation.

And at that point, I can email it straight to the county attorneys, city attorneys, and the

judge's inbox to where it's already there, just like Highway Patrol does. That would be great.

But then again, that puts, you know, a $95 charge on each computer per month to run Internet.

You can't run it from a hotspot. How many computers? Five computers. Four, at the least.

You can't take a computer out of a vehicle.

It stays with the vehicle.

How do I do it out in the field, 30 miles from the shop?

You're clever, you can figure it out.

You need to follow around with your hotspot in your car.

All right. What I've got to get with NEMON, if I can actually put a different SIM card into,

would it be like a cellular one instead of just a regular data one?

Chances are if it takes a SIM card, you probably can.

Because I know that cell phones are, your first cell phone is, what, $75 a month for the phone,

and everything else is $35 for that?

I've already got five phones or four phones.

Why shouldn't I put an unlimited Internet on these computers for $35 a month instead of $75 a month?

Yeah, I don't know what that plan would be, Clint, just Internet data only, but I know we do offer it.

Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, I heard.

One is like $75 and it's like 10 gigs of Internet. Yeah.

I'm going to use that, you know, my first transaction.

We have to check that out. Okay. Thanks, Clint. I'm kidding. But wait.

We'll call you guys the Sham Wow Guys.

The Sham Wow Guys, yeah.

Probably not a good idea. Yeah. Okay,

so in your packet is a copy of the draft law enforcement advisory board minutes.

Those will be approved at the next law enforcement advisory board meeting, but for your viewing pleasure, there they are.

Moving on here, I guess the next thing would be the approach application.

Steve, do you want to just explain kind of from start to finish what's going on here?

Who it's for, why we're doing it, why the city is maybe getting tagged with it?

Well, for Dry Prairie, we bought some land just north of the grits addition that borders the

city street, and they went to put an approach permit in, and they were denied their approach

permit because they want them to have the approach come off the city street that borders them.

And that approach was never put in when the streets were put into the grits addition. So, I don't know. I don't know.

It's back to the grits addition thing.

So, it's Art's and Ron's fault. There you go. Okay, good.

I'm just signing it off.

And I'm just, I would have thought the place that's doing this for Dry Prairie would have called

here or talked to us or something after they got this letter back, saying they wanted to coordinate with the city's approach.

That's not there, so, you know.

And then now I know when you put new approaches in, they got to be paved and everything for the state, so.

But maybe if Dry Prairie was going to put one in to their building, maybe they'll put the city's

in for Park Street, or Pine Street. Yeah, Pine Street.

Is that the furthest north street that runs east and west?

Yeah, it ties on to Daniels.

So there's no approach there for Pine Street?

Currently there is not an approach there.

And I believe when they were told they could put those streets in, they were supposed to complete

the streets with approaches at streets and everything. So.

So how would they, where are they going to access, you're leaving town, heading north, where

do they make their first left turn at? Right there.

So you know where Pine Street comes straight out from behind the constructions.

The north side of those quonsets. The last quonsets.

Yeah, it's staked out there, the property line is staked, and that would just come straight

over to the highway from behind those quonsets.

And that's basically where you would turn on to Pine Street, and I'm sure then you would take

a right into Dry Prairie's building.

So is there any equipment that's going to have to be moved?

Is there stuff parked on that road?

No, there's nothing parked on that road. Everything's off the road.

It's just that the road was never finished all the way in to where the approach goes.

Basically it was put in line with the quonsets basically, and that's where it was stopped.

So is this something we could do ourselves, or would we have to hire it done?

Well the paving would definitely have to be hired.

I mean, and I'm sure the approach has to be engineered to state specs. I would assume. I just wonder.

I mean, you know, we should visit with Dry Prairie, see if, you know, we can...

That's what I would say.

Maybe they're thinking it's designed and we can cop share it. Yep.

And then we got, was it hard drives coming up?

You know, maybe they're going to have all that equipment up here anyway.

Maybe they could spend three more days...

Or if Dry Prairie is going to asphalt their parking lot, you know, they would have an asphalter here too.

So who's your contact with Dry Prairie on like stuff like this?

Well, I could call Joni and talk to her, so.

And I don't know if she'll just have me contact that firm that put their approach permits in or not.

Because the main guy, the operations manager guy, he had, he moved to the other side of the

state, and I think Mike Nelson is in charge of it now out of Osco.

But I could just call Joni and ask her. Okay.

Yeah, if there's a way, I mean, if we have to do it, I guess it is what it is.

But if we can figure out a way to cost share it, you know, work together.

I mean, it'd be cheaper for both MDs if you could cost share it.

Yeah, because they were going to have to put an approach in.

Yeah, they were going to have to put an approach into their building anyways.

But we can't annex them into the city limits. No.

No, we can't offer them any services over there. Except for garbage.

I'm pretty sure you can't annex them in just for garbage.

No, because they're going to tie into their own.

Yeah, and they have to put a septic in because you'd have to have a lift station for sewer over there. Yeah, okay.

Okay, well, I guess there'll be more to come on this.

Hopefully, we can get pretty efficient with it.

Not blow a bunch of money.

Steve, traffic control signs. You got a quote?

Yes, these are for signs so we can close Main Street for the reunion thing. Our permit was approved.

We had to submit a traffic plan.

And these are basically the signs the state's requiring us to put up.

And those are just for the signs.

We'll make some temporary sign holding stands just out of some square metal tubing.

Okay, so about $2,800 plus $500 shipping.

And I just submitted them our plan that we submitted to the state.

And that's what they came up with what we needed. Okay.

Okay, so I guess I'd entertain a motion that we approve this quote to buy the necessary street

signs for closing, I guess it'd be Highway 13 slash Main Street.

And add one block of Highway 5.

Oh, yeah, from the hardware store to Car Quest. Car Quest, yeah.

Which you can use these for any street closing.

Well, that's, yeah, something I discussed is, you know, any time they want to close the streets, we'll have the signs.

Or next time they want to close the streets, we'll have them for signs.

Well, we're pretty much doing that. Somebody drove through there.

It'll also work if we have waterline breaks or anything else.

I mean, it's something we probably need.

Okay, yeah, so I'd entertain a motion to approve.

I'll make a motion to approve. I'll second it.

Okay, motion made seconded to purchase these road detour closure signs.

Is there any further discussion?

Okay, and there's Burl slash Buddy.

Can't do this any cheaper.

Have you looked for Salo? Salo makes signs, too. I got his card.

Oh, these are, yeah, these are pre-made ones, basically, you're buying.

They're not, you know, no.

Okay, and they're the high viz for state highway requirement or whatever it is. Effectiveness. Okay, any other discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor? Aye. Okay. Okay, motion carries.

We will purchase the signs.

Boy, I guess that brings us down to consent items.

Thanks, Wyatt. Thanks, Wyatt. Thanks, Wyatt.

I would entertain a motion that we approve the consent item.

Second. Okay, motion made, seconded. Any discussion?

Okay, hearing none. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Okay.

Please get rid of the public comment.

Do you have any public comment?

You should have been here earlier. I was early. I did.

That's the beginning of the meeting.

Yeah, I did skip over that. We did that.

I'll come back to it. What do you have?

So, I just wanted to kind of put a bug in your ear.

Yesterday, I was on a webinar with the National Association of Counties.

One of the speakers there was from the Federal Economic Development Group.

Before I left office, Biden refunded them, which hadn't happened since 2004.

And as such, there's quite a few grants.

And for communities smaller than 10,000 people, which I have to check, but I'm pretty confident

we fit into that, they're federal matching or federal almost 100% coverage on those.

So, just to watch out for those grants.

They did mention things like solid waste and kind of recycling efforts.

So, just a heads up.

I know there's still comment periods and yada, yada, yada.

But I would expect something coming out on that pretty soon. Okay.

Well, we will take the free money if we qualify for it. Good to know.

Oh, and one more thing.

Poor Wyatt. Yeah, that's going to be...

Well, we needed a joke theme for 2025 and we got it.

Gotta have a theme with these meetings.

Okay. All right. At this time, I would entertain a motion to adjourn. Motion to adjourn.

That's a record, I think. And that's staying close. Staying close.

Meeting adjourned until February... something. 11th? 11th, yeah.
