LET'S CALL IT FRONT ROW WHERE IT
[Town Council Special Meeting on September 21, 2020]
HAS A WORK SESSION TONIGHT OR NOT EACH SEPTEMBER, THE 21ST, 2020, OR SIGN UP TONIGHT ON OUR AGENDA IS VACATION STREETS.HEY MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
UM, THIS IS JUST AN OLD POLICY THAT NEEDS TO BE REVISED.
WE TOOK, TOOK A CRACK AT IT, WENT THROUGH IT, THE KEY POINTS, UM, REMOVED A HUNDRED DOLLARS APPLICATION FEE AND WAS REMOVED AND, UH, REMOVED NEW COUNCIL CODE MY TOWN COUNCIL IN JUNE, 2020, UH, REMOVAL OF QUOTE, ENGAGED IN THE SERVICES OF REAL ESTATE APPRAISER AND QUOTE OVER THE YEARS.
AND APPRAISER HAS BEEN HARD TO FIND FOR GOVERNMENT OWNED LAND.
AND IF ONE WAS FOUND THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT WERE EXTREMELY HIGH IN THE SUGGESTED TO REMOVE REFERENCE TO THE APPRAISER AND HAVE THE TOWN MANAGER USE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OR CONTRIBUTORY VALUE OF A BUDDING PROPERTY.
THIRD ITEM WAS REMOVAL OF SECOND REVIEW OF VIEWING COMMITTEE.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE WAS ADDED.
THE TOWN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SHALL EXECUTE AND, UH, PROCESS FINAL DOCUMENTS AFTER FINAL APPROVAL FROM ME COUNCIL, ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION, THAT'S GOING TO BE PUT ON GODS OR PUBLIC AREAS OR GIVE ANY CONSENT AGENDA.
I GUESS THE CAPSULE NEITHER REVIEW OF TWO TIMES 21 REVENUES.
SO A FEW MONTHS AGO, COUNCIL REQUESTED THAT WE PUT SOME MONEY OVER INTO CONTINGENCY AND REVIEW THE REVENUES MONTHLY WITH TOWN COUNCIL AS WE MOVE FORWARD FROM THE PAYLOAD.
BUT I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT OUR REVENUES DON'T PAY WELL.
UH, ENTERPRISE FUNDS ARE, UM, ALL TRACKING A LITTLE OVER BUDGET.
UM, THE GENERAL FUND, WE HAVE SOME HIT OR MISSES THERE, UH, BUT OVERALL, NO HUGE CONCERNS THAT STANDS OUT.
UH, SOME OF THE SHORTAGES WOULD BE, UM, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO BE TAKEN UP BY OTHERS NOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.
UM, BUT OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE'LL BE CONTINUING TO REVIEW THOSE, THE QUARTERLY REVENUES THAT HAD DISCUSSED LAST MONTH, WE DID RECEIVE THE FINAL FIVE 99 FUNDING FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, THAT COME IN RIGHT ON TARGET RENTAL BUDGETS WITHIN 25 CENTS OF THE QUARTERLY PAYMENT.
THE ONLY QUARTERLY PAYMENT THAT I'M STILL WAITING ON IS THE STREETS.
UM, I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT IT WON'T COME IN AT BUDGET.
UM, BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT I'VE RECEIVED, THE DELINQUENT UTILITY ACCOUNTS, GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF DATA ON THAT.
UH, WE'RE STILL TRACKING DOWN ON THOSE AS WELL.
UH, WE, UH, AS OF AUGUST 31ST, WE HAD 856 DELINQUENT UTILITY ACCOUNTS, UM, TOTAL OF ABOUT 500, $13,000.
SO WE'RE STILL TRACKING DOWN ON THAT.
UH, AS YOU SEE, BACK IN MAY, WE HAD 2022 BRINGING THAT DOWN TO 856 AS WELL.
UM, AS FAR AS THE DOLLAR FIGURE WISE, WE WENT FROM 841,000 BACK IN MAY DOWN TO 513,000, USUALLY TRACKED RIGHT AROUND 400,000 OR SEVEN.
SO WE'RE PRETTY MUCH DOWN TO OUR NORMAL MATT.
I LOOK FOR US TO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, WE'LL STILL SEE THAT, UH, WE NEED TO DROP.
UH, THE OTHER THING WE WANTED TO DISCUSS WAS THE USE OF THE CONTINGENCY FUNDS WITH TOWN COUNCIL.
THE REVENUES ARE TRACKING, LIKE I SAID, IT PRETTY WELL.
UH, SO, UH, WHAT STAFF WAS RECOMMENDING IS TO GO AHEAD AND RELEASE THE THIRD YEAR OF THE COMPENSATION STUDY EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST.
AND THEN, UM, HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS AS YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE, UH, FOR RELEASING OTHER FUNDS OR CONTINUING TO HOLD ON TO HIM FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER, OR TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF A SENSE OF WHAT COUNCIL'S DIRECTION, GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL.
CAN YOU, UH, GIVE US THE AMOUNTS? SO EACH ONE OF OUR DEPARTMENTS ENTERPRISE THAT'S LEFT IN THE CONTAINER IS LIFTING CONTINGENCY.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO AS SO GENERAL FUND, UM, AS IT STOOD AS OF AUGUST 31ST, IT'S 1.3 MILLION STREETS, UH, 200, 4,000 ELECTRIC, 1.1 MILLION WATER, 791,000 SEWER, 491,000 SOLID WASTE.
30, 37,000 OVERALL TOTAL IS ROUGHLY AROUND
[00:05:01]
3 MILLION TO RELEASE THE SECOND PART OR THE SIX MONTHS, I'M SORRY, SIX MONTHS AS A MERIT AND MERIT TO COMPENSATION STUDY.UH, WE WE'LL BE LOOKING AT IT, UH, RELATIVELY, UH, WOULDN'T HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THE CONTINGENCY FILE.
WE HAVE TO TAKE OVER THE CASTLE.
THIS WAS ALL INFORMATION IT'S INFORMATION PURPOSES.
WE'VE DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL ABOUT POSSIBLY, UH, IMPLEMENTING THE MERIT, UM, MERIT INCREASES.
AND, UH, THEY WOULDN'T BE IMPLEMENTED UNTIL JANUARY 1ST IF WE RECOMMENDED IT TODAY.
SO, UM, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WISER TO WAIT A FEW MORE MONTHS TO SEE IF THE IMPACT OF COVID, WHAT IT HAS ON A FUTURE NEXT FEW MONTHS OF REVENUES.
I THINK YOU CAN MAKE THAT DECISION IN DECEMBER AND WE CAN IMPLEMENT IF COUNCIL DECIDES THEY CAN A MINUTE.
UM, SO I WANTED TO HOLD BACK ON THE MERIT PIECE ONLY FOR THE APPROVAL OF IT OR GETTING IT IMPLEMENTED.
UM, AND BJ, HOW ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER CAPITAL ITEMS? UM, PARTICULARLY YOU MENTIONED THE, UH, THE CAPITAL ITEMS, THE, UM, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL OBVIOUSLY IS THE, UH, THE MESSAGE FORWARD, UH, THAT, UH, WE HAVE IN THE CAPITAL ITEMS. SO THAT COULD SURELY BE USED.
LIKE WHAT'S THE, UM, BELIEFS COMING UP.
WE USUALLY USE THOSE FOR THE, TO DIRECT TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT TOWN.
UM, THE, UM, THERE ARE CERTAINLY SOME CAPITAL ITEMS IN HERE, BUT NOTHING, UM, THAT I FEEL WAS DETRIMENTAL.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OF THESE ITEMS, OBVIOUSLY EVERY YEAR PROGRESSES.
UM, BUT THAT'S, UM, UM, CERTAINLY THE COUNCIL'S DISCRETION.
UM, I WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM, UH, ADVANCING SOME OF THESE, UM, THE, THE WAY OUR REVENUE SET, WE HAVE A QUARTER OF OUR FISCAL YEARS PASSED.
SO WE CAN CERTAINLY DIG INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE COUNCIL HAS A WISH TO RELEASE.
SO ALL THESE THINGS THAT WERE IN THE BUDGET, WE TOOK THEM OUT AND PUT THEM IN CONTINUOUSLY.
THAT'S WHAT WE SAID THAT WE'VE BEEN BRINGING THEM BACK AND GO BEGIN TO IMPLEMENT THAT PARTICULAR ITEM, WHATEVER THAT'S GREAT.
SO THAT NONE OF THAT NEEDS ANY APPROVAL EXCEPT OVER THE BIG, BIG TICKET ITEMS. WELL, YES.
UM, UH, THE TOWN MANAGER AND I DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRANSFER THE ITEMS FROM CONTINGENCY.
UH, THE BIG TICKET ITEMS WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO COME BACK FOR COUNCIL FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? YES.
PJM, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IN MY HEAD.
I WAS HOPING YOU COULD JUST HELP ME MAKE IT MAKE SENSE A LITTLE BIT.
YOU KNOW, WE, WE HEARD FROM SOME BUSINESS OWNERS ON MAIN STREET, UH, NOT TOO LONG AGO, ABOUT HOW BADLY A COVID IMPACTED THEIR BUSINESS.
UM, IN SOME CASES BROUGHT TO A STANDSTILL IN SOME CASES, EVEN CLOSED THE BUSINESS.
UM, BUT ALSO I'M TRYING TO RECONCILE IN MY HEAD, UM, THE BUSINESS BUSINESSES HAVING AN IMPACT IN THEIR SELVES, BUT HOW WE'RE CONTINUING TO TREND ON TRACK WITH OUR BUDGET AND REVENUE IN SALES, UM, SALES TAX, LODGING MEALS.
I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S SHORT HERE AND THERE, BUT, UM, I GUESS AGAIN, I'M JUST TRYING TO RECONCILE HOW'S THAT HOW THAT'S POSSIBLE.
SO MANY BUSINESSES ARE BEING IMPACTED BY COVID AND I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S BECAUSE OF THE FLIP OF THE FISCAL YEAR.
UM, AND SO PART OF THAT IS CUT OFF IN ONE YEAR AND NOW WE'RE STARTING ANOTHER, OR HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO FIGURE OUT HOW THAT YEAH, OBVIOUSLY LODGING TAXES DOWN, YOU KNOW, THE HOTELS HAVE BEEN CERTAINLY A MEALS TAX, SO NOT AS MUCH AS I WOULD THINK.
I MEAN, I WAS EXPECTING THAT TO BE QUITE A BIT MORE.
UM, BUT, UH, YEAH, UH, IT IS STILL, YOU KNOW, IT'S TRACKING LOWER, BUT NOT SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER.
UM, THE YEAR TO DATE IS THE FISCAL YEAR.
SO 10,000 DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A LOT.
AND I AGREE, UH, I WAS EXPECTING THAT TO BE MUCH, MUCH LOWER.
SO THE, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME BUSINESSES MAY BE MORE IMPACTED THAN OTHER BUSINESSES, OBVIOUSLY.
UM, SOME BUSINESSES HAVE CHANGED THEIR BUSINESS PLAN TO HELP WITH, UH, THE COVID-19, UM, WITH THE, UH, THE MEALS, YOU KNOW, OR OUR RESTAURANTS.
UH, SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS STARTED DELIVERING TO THE PARKING LOT AS WE WENT THROUGH COVID AND, UM, CONTINUE TO BE.
SO, I MEAN, THEY'VE CHANGED THEIR BUSINESS PLANS UP AND, AND SOME OF THEM ARE DOING VERY WELL.
UH, ALONG WITH THE MEALS, WE ALSO HAVE SOME NEW BUSINESSES THAT HAVE COME ONLINE HERE RECENTLY, YOU KNOW, DUNKIN DONUTS SHEETS, YOU KNOW, SOME OTHERS.
SO THAT CERTAINLY HELPED OUT CAUSE WE, THOSE WERE BASED ON ESTIMATES OF OBVIOUSLY, UH, THE SALES TAX SALES TAX MAY NOT BE, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE STILL BUYING COATS, STILL A FAVOR.
[00:10:03]
I MEAN, I GUESS THE WAY, I GUESS THE WAY I LOOK AT THIS AS EVEN IF WE KEPT ON TREND, THIS IS A PRETTY MINOR IMPACT TO OUR OVERALL BUDGETING.IT IS, IT DOESN'T EAT THE SAME MINOR.
UM, THE, UH, AND THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS, UH, THEY'RE STILL, UH, STILL DOING VERY WELL.
UM, OVERALL, UH, EVEN, UH, YOU KNOW, CITIZENS BEING HOME ELECTRIC, UH, MAYBE SOME BUSINESSES, THOSE KIND OF MAKE SENSE TO ME.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LIKE YOU SAID, MAYBE PEOPLE BEING HOME AND EVERYTHING, UM, IT'S ONLY, YOU KNOW, OVERALL I'M NOT SEEING A HUGE IMPACT AS, UH, AS, UM, I HAD ANTICIPATED, UH, IF YOU'D ASKED ME THIS, YOU KNOW, A FEW MONTHS AGO, I WAS THINKING THE WORST, BUT I MEAN, OVERALL, WE'RE NOT DOING BAD AT ALL.
SO THAT LINES UP WITH OUR LOWEST CASE OR LOWEST SCENARIO THAT WE ACTUALLY LESS THAN OUR LOWER STREET.
LESS, UH, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'M CERTAINLY HAPPY, BUT I'M JUST LIKE LOOKING AT THIS GAME, LIKE, HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE? THE, UM, SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE MAY ENCOUNTER IS, UH, COME MARCH WHEN BUSINESS LICENSES BECOME DEAL.
WE MAY SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A DECREASE THERE FOR THE BUSINESS LICENSE, UH, UH, REVENUE.
UM, THAT'S VERY HARD CAUSE THAT'S A ONCE A YEAR KIND OF DEAL FOR US.
AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO GO OFF OF, UH, FOR THOSE BUSINESSES.
AND AS FAR AS INCOME THAT WE MAY SEE A BIT OF A DECREASE THERE, BUT, UM, UH, BASED ON THE OTHER FIGURES, I'M NOT EXPECTING IT.
YOU WANNA ASK THE QUESTION? UM, I'VE BEEN TOLD BY TWO COUNTY STAFF THAT WE'RE 612 SMILES AND FOR THE I DID WE GOT IT? NO, SIR.
AND ALL THAT CAME FROM THE GENERAL FUND.
IT'S ACTUALLY GONNA BE CLOSER TO EIGHT 73.
UM, YEAH, SO RIGHT AROUND THAT AMOUNT, THAT'S CORRECT.
SO THERE'S TWO, UM, THEY HAD ISSUES ON FRIDAY, UM, FAULT.
THEY WOULD GET IT TO US TODAY.
UH, WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT YET NOR HAVE THEY APPROVED THE SPENDING PLAN.
WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANY FEEDBACK OTHER THAN THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH, UM, THE, UM, ETHAN DCF AND THE SCADA POSSIBLE.
SO YOU'VE GOT ISSUES WITH THE WHOLE SPREADING PLAN.
SO I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK.
WHAT'S THE ISSUE WITH THE FIRST ONE? I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR ISSUE IS.
I MEAN, WE, WE JUSTIFIED IT ACCORDING TO THE CARES ACT.
WE LAID IT OUT VERY SPECIFICALLY WHERE IN THE CARES ACT, IT COULD BE SPENT AS IT RELATES TO THE PEACE APP.
ALL THE JURISDICTIONS ARE USING CARES ACT FOR THE PEACE APP, INCLUDING, UH, SHANDO COUNTY, WHICH HAS BEEN ADVISED BY JASON HAM, THE, UH, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.
BUT YET I'M HEARING THAT THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TOWN SPENDING MONEY IN THOSE TWO ITEMS. SO WE'LL JUST CONTINUE TO PLAY THE GAME AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
WELL, I'M, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING THE $970,000 AS ARE WE, I MEAN, THAT CAME OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.
SO I'D BOOST YOUR GENERAL FUND BACK TO WHERE IT WAS AND YOU'RE CORRECT.
UM, BUT IT WILL CONTAIN, UM, COMMUNICATE WITH THE WARREN COUNTY MAYOR.
MAY I ASK, DID YOU INQUIRE WITH THE WHOLE RUPP ELSA CHECK TOMORROW? I TOLD ME THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET A CHECK FOR 670,000.
AND THAT WAS, YEAH, THAT WAS JUST, THEY WERE HOLDING THAT OTHER ONE.
I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT THEY SHOULD BE GOING FORWARD WHEN THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT, UH, CHECK THAT OUT TOMORROW.
IF YOU COULD ASK, IF YOU DON'T MIND, IF THEY COULD PUT DOWN IN WRITING THEIR OBJECTIONS.
IT'S A LOT OF, A LOT OF, UM, DIFFERENT PLAYERS.
THEY HAVE A COMMITTEE THEY HAVE AT DAILY, THEY HAVE RICK FERAL, UH, RICK FERRELL CALLS, BJ.
YOU KNOW, I THINK WE OUGHT TO GET SOMETHING MORE FORMAL, SPECIFICALLY THE ISSUES THEY HAVE WITH OUR SPENDING PLAN AND THEN GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, EDUCATE THEM ONE RESPOND ANYWAY.
AND I'M ALSO LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND AT THE, I MEAN, I CERTAINLY CAN APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THERE WANTS SOME CHECKS AND BALANCES, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T COMPLETELY AGREE WITH TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY'VE GONE WITH IT.
UM, BUT IF WE'RE COMPLETELY LIABLE, WHICH WE'VE SIGNED AGREEMENTS ON SAYING THAT IF ANY OF THE CARES ACT IS SPENT IN AN INAPPROPRIATE WAY, THE TOWN WILL FUND, UM, OR REFUND.
I, YOU ON MR. MEZA, WE NEVER SEEN HIM SIGN THE ASSIGNMENT AN OPPORTUNITY WE'VE OFFERED TO DO IT.
WE'VE OFFERED, WE'VE OFFERED TO TAKE COMPLETE LIABILITY FOR ANYTHING SPANKING, LIKE OTHER JURISDICTIONS AROUND HAVE DONE.
I WOULD, AS I WOULD LIKE TO RE OFFER THAT TO SAY, I MEAN, IF THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO HOLD UP OR EVEN
[00:15:01]
THE SECOND ROUND OF FUNDING, IF THEY'RE CONCERNED THAT THOSE PROJECTS WE'RE GOING TO HOLD UP, MAN, LET'S TAKE THE LIABILITY FOR IT.AND WE WON, WELL, WE WE'VE OFFERED THAT AND THEY WANT US TO TAKE THE LIABILITY AND THEY WANT TO HAVE APPROVE THE SPENDING PLAN.
AND THEY WANT US TO SPEND THE MONEY OUT OF OUR RESERVES AND THEY WANT US TO SUBMIT THE REPORTS AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO DETERMINE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO REIMBURSE US.
SO IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST VERY CONVOLUTED.
UM, I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I COULD DO TO GET IT PUSHED THROUGH, BUT YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THAT PART.
UM, I GUESS IF, UH, IF A MARRIAGE IS GOING TO TALK TO HIM, UM, ABOUT THAT, AND THERE'S A DELAY IN GETTING THE FUNDS, UM, YOU KNOW, AND THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY.
UM, HAD WE NOT PULLED FROM OUR GENERAL FUND THAT MONEY STILL WOULD BE SITTING HERE MAKING ACCOUNTS, UM, AND THAT MONEY WOULD NOT BE GOING TO THE BUSINESSES THAT, UM, THAT NEEDED IT.
SO I COMPLETELY STAND BEHIND OUR FIRST DECISION, WHICH WAS TO DISTRIBUTE THOSE FUNDS.
I THINK IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
UM, DISAPPOINTED THAT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, GET THE FUNDING REIMBURSED QUICKER, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SUBMITTING ALL THE DOCUMENTATION.
UM, BUT I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT, UM, WE'RE WILLING TO TAKE THE COMPLETE LIABILITY FOR A SIMPLE AGREEMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, WELL, WE'LL SAVE AND, UM, DEMONSTRATE ALL THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION AND WE'RE DONE.
AND THEN DUPERS GOT INTERPRETED.
ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS GO TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE WEBSITE.
WE COULD HAVE GIVEN HIM SIMPLE ADMINISTRATIVE RIGHTS TO TAKE A LOOK.
SECOND, YOU SAID ONE BIG BOX OF PAPER OR PLUS PLUS THE THUMB DRIVE, PLUS A THUMB DRIVE PLUS, UH, UM, SOME CHECKS CANCELED CHECKS, WHICH YOU HAD TO WAIT ON.
AND THE PARK, THE BALL IS MAY, IS OTHER JURISDICTIONS, SUCH AS COUNTIES ARE GIVING TO THE TOWN AND CITY DIRECTLY THE FUNDS NOW, BUT WE'RE BEING PENALIZED TO TAKE IT OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND EXPAND.
AND THEN WE'RE JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS TO PROVE TO THEM WE'VE DONE THE RIGHT THING THAT TROUBLES ME.
I, THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY TOLD ME LAST WEEK THAT WE'D BE SAYING THE MONEY THIS WEEK OR THIS PAST WEEK.
UH, NOW I'M HERE ON MONDAY AND THE FIRST CHECK HASN'T BEEN PROCESSED.
SO THAT, THAT REALLY TROUBLES ME IS, UM, MR. MAYOR, HAVE THEY REACHED OUT TO YOU? OKAY.
AT ALL, TO EXPLAIN ANY REASONS WHY I DID TALK TO WALT DAVE ABOUT IT.
AND THEN HE GAVE ME THE SAME SCENARIO THAT BILL WAS TALKING ABOUT.
THAT CHECK WOULD BE HAROLD THEY'D CONTACT ME ON FRIDAY AND SAID, THIS BETTER ACCOUNTS, PAYABLES PERSON WAS OUT WELL, WE SHOULD HAVE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK PRACTICALLY TO NOT RECEIVE IT TODAY.
CAN YOU STAY STILL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK? THAT'S GREAT.
I DID WANT TO SAY TO, UH, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU TO, UH, STAFFER FOR JUMPING THROUGH THOSE HOOPS.
UM, I KNOW IT'S A FRUSTRATION.
I KNOW THAT WE RAN AROUND ON THIS AND COUNCIL, UM, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, IN LIEU OF SIGNING THE AGREEMENT AND ALLOWED US TO AUTOMATE THIS SIMPLER FOR EVERYBODY, UM, YOU KNOW, I REALLY WANTED TO COMMEND STAFF FOR SPENDING ALL THAT TIME AND PUTTING TOGETHER ALL THE DOCUMENTATION AND STILL, UM, COMPLYING WITH WHAT THE COUNTY ASKS.
AND SO I THINK IT'S, I THINK IT'S, UH, AN ACT OF GOOD FAITH.
I THINK IT'S, UM, AGAIN, WE DID EVERYTHING THAT WAS REQUESTED OF US.
UM, SO HOPEFULLY THE CHECK WILL COME IN IN AN EXPEDITIOUS MANNER.
IN THE SECOND ROUND OF THE CARES ACT WILL WON'T BE, UM, SMOOTH, UM, AS WELL, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THAT COMMUNICATION IN WRITING AS YOU SUGGESTED, MR. TIGGER I'LL CHECK TOMORROW.
ANYTHING ELSE? ANYTHING ELSE WE HERE? OKAY.
THAT COMPLETES OUR AGENDA EXCEPT UP TO CLOSE MEETINGS HERE.
A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE MIRROR.
I MOVED THE TOWN COUNCIL PURPOSES.
