WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.679
beings it's 530 you call the meeting to order madam clerk if you could call the

00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:14.640
roll please Mayor Miller here Alderpersons Klemm here Johnson here Simmons is

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:22.879
absent Parker here Stacy is absent Shadle here Sanders and Sellers are absent but

00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:51.599
Alright, we're down to approval of the agenda.

00:00:51.600 --> 00:01:15.599
Got a motion by Klemm, second by Johnson. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? That's approved in public comments on agenda items. There was nothing listed, nothing there, and we'll move to discussion of the capital improvement plan by Manager Boyer and Director Richter.

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:22.600
Yes, sir.

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:36.120
All righty.

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.320
So many of these projects we've talked about and you have knowledge of, but I'm just going

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:57.520
to hit the major ones. So as you all know, Hancock Bridge Deck is one of our major projects

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:03.120
for next year. We need to get the guardrail and the bridge deck replaced. So we've budgeted

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:08.000
for that in the capital plan as well as the viaduct. They go hand-in-hand. Viaduct should

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.759
would have been done already, but due to various delays, whether it was some of our outside

00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:20.800
shareholders permit reviews and working with other utilities, it's taken some time, but

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.180
we're getting together on the viaduct, but we've included that. There's work left to

00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:29.759
do in 26 for the viaduct. So once the viaduct's done, then we'll start work on the Hancock

00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:37.920
Bridge. Also, we've listed funds in here for crack sealing and repair work and hot mix.

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:43.200
So this is one of the items we want to make sure we protect that investment that we've made in our transportation system

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.720
The street maintenance plan obviously we've discussed that this is the 1%

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:57.520
Transportation tax that we currently collect on on sales of items except for food and medicine and medical equipment

00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.760
We've got the municipal lot that is included in this year's capital plan

00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.079
Mann, so that's a mill and overlay of the municipal lot. It's been needing it for quite

00:03:09.079 --> 00:03:14.759
a few years, so we'll get that done early next year. And then we've included the police

00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:20.280
department alley. This has been an item that's needed to be addressed for a very long time,

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:26.919
and right now, this would be the time to get that done in 26. Also, you'll see the sidewalk

00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:34.760
Park Project, South and West, with ADA ramps. That one is funded through a HISP grant, $2.4

00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:39.760
million that were outside funding, but we won't be working on that until 27, but we

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:47.800
wanted it reflected here in the capital plan. Walnut as well, Walnut from South to Empire,

00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.560
that's approximately going to be a two-year project, and we're working with IDOT STU funding

00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:03.360
for that project. Stevenson, Locust to Sunset, we're planning two years there, $750,000

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:11.520
for 26 and 27. That is also using STU iDOT money. And we're also looking at Lincoln

00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:18.759
Street, Locust to West, about $800,000 in two years, but in 26 we'll be utilizing about

00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:26.000
We've got $400,000 next year and that will also be STU funding through IDOT.

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.519
We've got South Street programmed.

00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:34.839
We've added $250,000 here for our design work and that, but we have approximately anywhere

00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:35.839
between $4 and $7 million.

00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:42.639
I'm not entirely sure the total amount, but this was through John Cabello, who oversees

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.639
IDOT, who IDOT had come to him and said, hey, we don't have enough people to deploy all

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:57.639
and all the funds. And he said, well, I've got some communities that could deploy the funds themselves. Why don't you just give them the funds? And that is how South Street, we will begin work on South Street next year.

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:13.639
Walnut, Empire to Maine, we've put that out there at year 28. That's going to be a fairly expensive realignment and a lot of right-of-way work because the road itself is narrow, too narrow for modern day standards, I-DOT standards.

00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:18.539
Sanders, so we're going to be working on that in 28.

00:05:18.539 --> 00:05:20.800
As well, we have Galena in here listed.

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.479
We put some funding in here for various engineering that we might need, but this is an IDOT project.

00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:30.479
It's in the five-year plan, and next year they should start the project.

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:35.879
It would be resurfacing Galena from Clark to Park, which is a pretty significant undertaking.

00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:43.240
Again, they'll be working on ramps next year and then paving surfaces, potentially next

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:48.759
and then the following years. And then we've also had a West Galena to Empire that we've

00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.540
added here. Essentially, we just wanted an item to track it here in the capital plan

00:05:53.540 --> 00:05:59.740
moving forward. So, that's everything on the road projects. Do you have any questions

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:08.360
on the road projects so far? Now, this includes the five-year plan. So, when we go to the

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.060
We see the 5-year plan down at the bottom of the page.

00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:18.259
Those are our local roads that we'll be doing and those are accounted for under the Street

00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:19.520
Maintenance Plan.

00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:24.040
So just so you know, just because you don't see the streets from the 5-year plan for next

00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.759
year on here, they are included in this.

00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:36.720
Under Buildings, Police Department Facility, continuing to keep that top of mind.

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.440
That one is a fairly expensive challenge after some research.

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:45.080
We came up with that it's going to be pretty expensive.

00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:50.180
So we're tracking that in the capital plan with the intention of getting things together

00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:53.800
and getting outside funding to help us with that.

00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.400
We've also included about $100,000 for Tuck Pointing City Hall this year.

00:06:57.400 --> 00:07:01.580
We had originally planned to do that this year, but we went ahead and did storm windows

00:07:01.579 --> 00:07:06.419
Mendes instead due to the fact that single pane, it's very cold in the wintertime in

00:07:06.419 --> 00:07:11.300
Northern Illinois, the building has a hard time keeping up with heat, and storm windows

00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:13.060
would have the most impact there.

00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:18.899
So we've kicked the tuck pointing to 26, and this won't be the entire thing.

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:23.259
This will be probably just a portion of City Hall.

00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:28.219
Moving down here a little further for 26, we've got renovations budgeted for Island

00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:33.420
Good Avenue. If you haven't been down there recently, the building itself is just fully

00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:40.740
depreciated and in need of just some maintenance and some cleanup down there. In addition, we've

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:48.020
got the $800,000 in for the salt sheds. We've talked about this at various times, but just

00:07:48.020 --> 00:07:54.060
open it up tonight. We have two large salt sheds that are a pole construction and both

00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:32.379
capacity of our salt sheds. So that's planned for next year. We've got the airport terminal building.

00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:38.779
So we currently have some estimates out here, about 1.8 million total, but our match would be

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:45.419
about 190,000. We budgeted for the match, and this would be built out largely with FAA money

00:08:45.419 --> 00:08:53.179
and state money with a 5% match from the city. We're also budgeting for the PAPI lighting system.

00:08:53.180 --> 00:08:57.420
that's the approach light or some of the approach lights again that's been in the

00:08:57.420 --> 00:09:01.820
capital plan for the airport for a number of years next year we'll be

00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:07.700
completing that we've also budgeted for 400,000 for the fire department for new

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:13.820
windows and just we have several different items there on the fire budget

00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:17.500
for ensuing years you can look at those if you have any questions on those

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:27.240
Thomas, please let me know. If we could move on to water infrastructure. So the first one

00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:34.120
there is water main, water main replacements. So that's essentially whenever we do a road

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.200
program we evaluate the water main. If it needs to be replaced then we replace that

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.960
water main. It also gives us an opportunity to budget for that and that's reflected here

00:09:41.960 --> 00:10:00.040
and

00:10:00.040 --> 00:10:04.780
serviceline replacement program which is our final phase and we should be completing that

00:10:04.780 --> 00:10:12.840
hopefully in 2026. So very excited about that. Again, the lead service line is 100% loan

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:19.360
forgiveness to the EPA. Water structures, Phase 3, which is Well 12. We've talked about

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:26.480
it many times. And Well 12, we've recently drilled the test well down to I think about

00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.380
but we have over 1,800 feet, 1,300 feet and taken a sample and so those are being evaluated

00:10:33.380 --> 00:10:37.520
now, if all goes well we should be moving forward on construction there.

00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:44.320
With the two years of $15 million we've secured I think at least $13 million of this in forgivable

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:53.360
loans, emerging contaminants, and also some outside, congressionally directed money.

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.760
We're hoping to get the rest of it covered but we do not have an announcement this time

00:10:58.760 --> 00:11:02.000
but we should have soon.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.840
Also you'll see here we've got water main phase four, phase five, that's just us keeping

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.040
track of as we go through and do the road program that we have enough money here to

00:11:11.040 --> 00:11:13.240
do the water main.

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.040
Obviously if we don't replace the water main, we don't want to invest in the transportation

00:11:18.040 --> 00:11:20.360
infrastructure and then have the water main ruin it.

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:29.280
So we do have about 60% of our city is comprised of this low-grade spun-cast water main, which

00:11:29.280 --> 00:11:34.100
is notoriously weak and is old and is in many cases corroded.

00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:37.280
So every time we do those roads, we're going to evaluate that, make sure the water main

00:11:37.280 --> 00:11:38.280
is quality.

00:11:38.280 --> 00:11:39.360
And if it is, we'll leave it.

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.820
If it's not, we'll replace it.

00:11:42.820 --> 00:11:47.400
Backup generator for Carroll, that's in the plan for next year.

00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:52.420
As we've discussed, I have certain utility infrastructure remote sites like Carroll that

00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:57.600
provide, I think in this case, about 1.7 million gallons per day of water to the city, but

00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.960
there is no backup capacity there.

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:05.560
We essentially have one large towable generator that we would in an emergency, maybe an ice

00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:10.360
storm, have to take around to each of all of our remote sites, and to me that's inherently

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:13.400
unsafe and not a great plan.

00:12:13.400 --> 00:12:19.600
So we are slowly but surely upgrading our remote sites with backup generation capacity.

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:26.040
If you skip down to cold storage Brick Street, that's an extension to the Brick Street storage

00:12:26.040 --> 00:12:28.200
shed that is necessary.

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.780
We've consolidated due to the work at the wastewater treatment plant.

00:12:31.780 --> 00:12:35.040
We've had to move equipment up to Brick Street.

00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:43.080
With that, we need an extension on that building so that we can keep our cold storage materials

00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:50.040
Undercover and then lastly here on the water side we have the Willow Tank Rehab. We're budgeting

00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:56.440
about a million dollars for the Willow Tank. It's a ground level storage tank that runs off

00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:03.320
of booster pumps when it was originally purchased and installed. The appropriate man hatches and

00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:08.040
things that are required for maintenance were not put in at the time so the only hatch in it is at

00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:13.680
at the very top and we need to upgrade that so that it's safe for our personnel to get

00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:18.560
inside and do the appropriate maintenance that it will require over the years.

00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:20.760
Any questions on the water infrastructure side?

00:13:20.760 --> 00:13:21.760
Yes.

00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:32.880
The airport water main extension, what is that?

00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:39.760
Well one of the challenges out here is for anything to happen at the airport, we need

00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:46.640
to supply water to the airport and sufficient volume and flow for fire suppression.

00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:51.800
So one of the things we're hoping to work on here moving forward in the ensuing years

00:13:51.800 --> 00:13:57.480
is getting water from the utility out to the airport so that we have sufficient volume

00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.880
and flow for fire suppression in the hangar buildings.

00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:08.200
As we go along, fire code is becoming more and more restrictive, and if we hope to make

00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:13.960
the airport into a regional maintenance facility, then we need to have sufficient volume and

00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.360
flow of water for those fire suppression systems.

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:22.840
And you've already set aside money for this?

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:29.040
Well this is the capital plan, this is what we're looking to do, and every year beyond

00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:34.680
26 will change slightly depending on the facts on the ground so this this could

00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:41.040
move out a year this could happen it depends on the other priorities at that

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:48.840
time. Okay so is this capital plan four million? Right now yes we put four

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.600
million dollars in the capital plan for the water main extension to the airport.

00:14:52.600 --> 00:15:17.880
and when do you plan on doing this? Well we have it programmed for 2027 and I'm

00:15:17.880 --> 00:15:20.960
available if you have any other questions on that we can we can definitely talk

00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:28.640
about that. But in the interest of time, I'd like to move on to wastewater infrastructure.

00:15:28.640 --> 00:15:37.040
We're coming to the end of phase one, which is the SEP system, the headworks, the UV disinfection,

00:15:37.040 --> 00:15:45.040
the new lab and offices at Hancock. As you'll see there, we need to start planning for future

00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:50.680
point-of-mouth presentation is that we have just started doing another half a year's work,

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:56.140
and we're just building new streets that are going to be completed during the next few years

00:15:56.140 --> 00:16:03.940
related to phase two, which is going to be sludge handling, and nutrient removal.

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:10.140
So those are some things that we'll talk about a little later during the council meeting.

00:16:10.140 --> 00:16:15.800
We're planning about $500,000 for sewer lining. Again, when we do the street, we want to make

00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:22.140
sure that those sewers are lined so that if there's a material breach of the sewer lateral,

00:16:22.140 --> 00:16:28.700
it doesn't cause degradation to the road. We also have some manhole rehab there, and

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:33.300
then we're looking as we move forward, we're going to be needing to upgrade and update

00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:39.940
our final clarifiers at the wastewater treatment plant. So you have flocculation, sedimentation,

00:16:39.940 --> 00:16:47.940
and those clarifiers perform that work as it ends the treatment process and they haven't

00:16:47.940 --> 00:16:52.760
been updated in many years and we're going to be moving forward with some upgrades to

00:16:52.760 --> 00:16:56.180
those in ensuing years.

00:16:56.180 --> 00:17:02.300
We've also got lift stations remodeled, so we've got approximately $2 million programmed

00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:06.100
for the park in Galena lift station.

00:17:06.100 --> 00:17:12.740
There's new drivers, motors, and pumps that need to be replaced at three of these next

00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:13.740
year.

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:17.120
So we're working on that now.

00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:22.900
Coming to the end here, again, Walnut Loaf Station is in here, 2.7 million, so this would

00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:27.940
also be upgrades, necessary upgrades and updates to the Walnut Loaf Station.

00:17:27.940 --> 00:17:33.420
And then we have the blower boiler room piping at the wastewater treatment plant.

00:17:33.420 --> 00:17:39.600
I believe we've got issues there in terms of the heat exchangers, the things that keep

00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:46.920
the sludge digesters working properly, so we've accounted for some upgrades there.

00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:51.820
And then we have $1.2 million budgeted for the Meadowbrook sewer expansion, so that is

00:17:51.820 --> 00:18:01.220
from La Cresta and then connecting, going north and south along Meadowbrook and then

00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:05.380
and potentially connecting into Oak Hill.

00:18:05.380 --> 00:18:10.920
So we had been waiting on outside funding for this, but we've been waiting for five

00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:17.740
years and at this point the road is degraded to a sufficient point where we really just

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:23.760
need to get the gravity sewer done and then we can resurface that road.

00:18:23.760 --> 00:18:29.780
And the same thing, we've got West Demeter, that needs a sewer upgrade as well.

00:18:29.780 --> 00:18:41.180
I just want to know how many lift stations do we actually have in?

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:42.660
I want to say seven.

00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:43.660
Nine.

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:44.660
Nine, okay.

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:48.820
And how often do they need this type of repair?

00:18:48.820 --> 00:18:53.220
Well these are the bigger ones, Joy, so probably every twenty years.

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:54.220
Yep.

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:55.220
So.

00:18:55.220 --> 00:18:56.220
Yep, go ahead.

00:18:56.220 --> 00:19:04.460
So the stations that we're upgrading this year, Park and Laurel were built in 1967 and we've done

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:10.060
some small mechanical work now and then but this will be the first major overhaul of these since

00:19:10.060 --> 00:19:19.019
their inception so they've lasted quite a long time. And I will comment that a lot of these remote

00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:25.180
sites, they generally function pretty well during normal operation. The challenge comes in when we

00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:55.180
We have heavy rains and we have I&I making its way into the wastewater plant. It can cause a serious backup in a large section of a drainage shed pretty quickly. So when we are spending some money upgrading these, what we are doing here is ensuring that folks with basements, floor drains, net will be much more capable, able to handle any kind of storm surge in out in the collection system. A couple other things

00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:59.940
Moving on to stormwater. We have a handful.

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:05.039
We have a handful of projects here. We've got the storm inlet replacements. We're

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:11.460
planning to do, how many was that? Was that about 30? About 30 this year or 26? Yeah,

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:17.299
okay. Obviously all around town and I think Alderman Parker noted one just

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:21.900
over by him that had a bed, a field grate. We have a lot of brick structures out

00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:26.940
there that a mortar gets eroded away, the bricks fall in and then what you have is

00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:56.940
Debris

00:20:56.940 --> 00:21:26.940
We've been, for years, we've been planning on a downtown storm water upgrade that includes repairing of the large, I guess it's a viaduct. It's a big, a large storm way down at Benton and Jackson. It's made out of wood and the wood is getting old. And I would not want that structure to create a problem for drainage during a heavy storm. So that's been on the plan for probably five years.

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:37.340
Moving into some street vehicles, we've currently, in 26, we're not planning to purchase any new 10 or 5 yards, at least out of the street department.

00:21:37.340 --> 00:21:48.660
We are going to be purchasing two dump bodies for the hook lift trucks. As everybody remembers, we ordered two hook lift trucks back in 2019, I believe.

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:57.660
We then take delivery to like 2021 and those were only outfitted with salt boxes so they basically sit in the shed for most of the year.

00:21:57.660 --> 00:22:03.660
This year we're going to install or we're going to order dump bodies so we can use them in construction projects.

00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:09.660
Also, we're planning to purchase a new roller. We need an additional roller for the street department.

00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:13.660
And so that's included here. Any questions on street vehicles?

00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:24.100
So, it's like a dump truck, except these two trucks, their chassis is fitted with like

00:22:24.100 --> 00:22:33.860
a hydraulic hook. And you back up to the, let's say the salt, you know, the spreader

00:22:33.860 --> 00:22:38.700
and the salt box. It just reaches up under there, hooks it and then pulls it up on the

00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:43.220
chassis and then locks it down. So whenever you buy any kind of it, so these trucks are

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:47.700
Great because they're flexible. They could do salt in the wintertime with a V box

00:22:47.700 --> 00:22:51.700
splitter and a spreader. Then you take that off, you put the leaf box on, and you

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:55.860
use them for leaf, you know, removal. And then in the construction season, you put

00:22:55.860 --> 00:23:00.460
the construction or a large 10-yard box on them, and they can haul rock and that

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:02.460
kind of thing.

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:07.460
What did you say about the two that were sitting?

00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:27.460
Yeah, we ordered two new trucks in 2019. We received them in, I think, 21. And because they only have the salt, they have the V-Box and the salt spreader and then a leaf box, we'll use them for a few months every year. So by getting these two dump bodies, we'll be able to utilize them all year.

00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:30.460
How much did we pay for those that we are not even using?

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:43.460
Well, I mean, they're about $225,000 or so each. And, and like I said, we use them in the winter and we use them in the fall. But by getting these two boxes, we'll be using them all year.

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:51.460
Okay, but what are we going to do with the equipment we have setting? Is this something we could get some money back on or?

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:56.420
Actually, this would be adding to, so we'd be making adding to the capabilities of these two trucks.

00:23:57.220 --> 00:24:05.460
We've taken them from a leaf machine or a salt box to a utility box where we can haul rock and

00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:12.660
things for the construction. Okay, the equipment that is sitting, will we ever use it? Yes,

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:17.860
we use it every year. But when we get these two that you're wanting,

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:22.860
Will we use that other equipment?

00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:25.180
Yes.

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:28.019
These are dump bodies.

00:24:28.019 --> 00:24:33.780
So in the summer we can have dump trucks out of these trucks and it gets to the winter.

00:24:33.780 --> 00:24:38.059
They'll take the dump box off and put the salt spreader box on.

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:39.059
Yes.

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:40.780
And then we'll use that.

00:24:40.780 --> 00:24:42.700
I understand that part.

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:47.460
I just don't understand the two from 2021 sitting.

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:22.460
and introduce you to the vehicles and maybe we can go for a ride.

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:27.380
With that, we're itemizing, as you can see in the capital plan, we're breaking this out.

00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:30.740
We're being more thorough about what's in it.

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:34.019
So we've broken out the utility vehicles this year.

00:25:34.019 --> 00:25:36.220
That's kind of a change from previous years.

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:41.519
So we're budgeting for a 10-yard dump truck for the water and sewer department for 26.

00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:47.880
also a mulching head for our mini excavator that helps us keep right of ways clear from

00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:50.680
trees and bushes and things that grow up.

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:56.440
And then the crew cab truck, we've got two service trucks that are in the budget for

00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:57.920
the utility this year.

00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.880
So any questions on any of that?

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.420
Obviously, the next one here is police vehicles.

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:12.259
So we've itemized four police vehicles.

00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:16.059
That's kind of a standard every year we need to replace four.

00:26:16.059 --> 00:26:20.900
Then we've added a golf cart for the police because when they do events and things, this

00:26:20.900 --> 00:26:26.180
is so they can get around and be more effective in their patrols.

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:34.259
We've also added a live video camera trailer and radar trailer, as well as 20 additional

00:26:34.259 --> 00:27:01.759
운 what is a live videocamera trailer and radar trailer?

00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:14.759
So this is a trailer where you park, crank up the boom, and it's got multiple cameras on, and so if you're having a particular issue with high crime area, you can deploy this, and you can kind of maintain surveillance on the area.

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:19.759
We already have this? Yeah. Is that what's on Galena right now by?

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:25.759
That I couldn't answer that. By the store?

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:47.759
Yeah, so with this we are actually getting a couple of different things. One is a trailer that's like a speed trailer and an LPR and the other one is a surveillance trailer where we would also use it for major events, study Baker days, things like cruise night where you can monitor a crowd from one point so that we can see what's going on.

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:55.759
Okay, well I'm speaking about this trailer looking thing that's on Galena as I speak with a blue light.

00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:04.759
Okay, and then moving on to fire, and that should wrap it up for this evening's capital plan.

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:15.759
We've got a budgeted VHF radio network, replacing hose nozzle appliances, firefighter turnout gear, that's the more expensive item.

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:22.759
Some of the turnout gear for the firemen contain forever chemicals. So we want to retire the

00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:28.039
turnout gear that that has those chemicals and replace it with the

00:28:29.360 --> 00:28:31.920
one new new designs that don't and

00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:37.400
then the other items, you know, we've got an ambulance some chair for your ambulance and

00:28:38.280 --> 00:28:41.599
In some environmentally friendly firefighting foam

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:45.320
So that pretty much covers the capital plan for 26

00:28:45.760 --> 00:28:49.760
So any other questions on that?

00:28:49.760 --> 00:28:53.760
I had a question.

00:28:53.760 --> 00:28:57.760
On the first page

00:28:57.760 --> 00:29:01.760
Terminal,

00:29:01.760 --> 00:29:05.760
Airport Terminal

00:29:05.760 --> 00:29:09.760
Updates. Yes. Something about

00:29:09.760 --> 00:29:13.760
5% matchable

00:29:13.760 --> 00:29:21.300
from the city. What does that mean? So we're budgeting 1.8 million for the terminal building

00:29:21.300 --> 00:29:27.280
update. So the building is there. The interior needs to be built out. Our estimates based

00:29:27.280 --> 00:29:31.760
on Crawford Murphy Tilly, who's our airport engineers, they're estimating it's going to

00:29:31.760 --> 00:29:41.960
be about 1.8 total. 90% of this 1.8 will come from the FAA itself. And then 5% will come

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:48.280
from the state and then 5% would be a city match and that would come out to around $190,000.

00:29:48.280 --> 00:29:58.320
And so where do this 5% come from? Texas? Yes. Okay, so that's 5% for the airport and

00:29:58.320 --> 00:29:59.320
and others.

00:29:59.320 --> 00:29:59.340
Thank you.

00:29:59.340 --> 00:30:04.340
and 4.94% for the library.

00:30:05.620 --> 00:30:09.020
Well, that's, those aren't connected.

00:30:11.180 --> 00:30:13.340
5% of that project.

00:30:14.300 --> 00:30:15.140
Yeah.

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:19.060
The project total, it's 5% of that.

00:30:19.060 --> 00:30:21.420
And when do we plan on doing this?

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:22.260
Next year.

00:30:23.380 --> 00:30:24.860
So we're gonna put water

00:30:24.860 --> 00:30:37.860
and an additional terminal work all at the airport.

00:30:37.860 --> 00:30:41.860
Well, the terminal needs to be finished and yes, we're going to do that.

00:30:41.860 --> 00:30:47.860
And we're budgeting for 2027 for water to go out to the airport, not for the terminal specifically,

00:30:47.860 --> 00:30:52.860
but for basically for fire suppression needs at the airport in general.

00:30:52.860 --> 00:30:59.260
We haven't had it in all these years. Now, all of a sudden, we need water at the airport.

00:31:01.260 --> 00:31:04.160
Well, I have actually been working on that for a number of years.

00:31:06.660 --> 00:31:18.360
So, can I clarify something? So, the number that's put in for 2027, if you look at the note, we're just researching grant opportunities for that water through

00:31:18.360 --> 00:31:25.400
the aviation mechanisms or other programs that's not specific money that's coming

00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:49.400
I know you talked about the Police Department and you said that's going to be a pretty big budget. Is that what's on, what are we all looking for for the Police Department? Are we looking new, are we looking fix up, or what is all that going to be?

00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:30.840
So that would be more than doubling what we have now in square footage. Part of the

00:32:30.840 --> 00:32:36.000
reason for that is policing techniques, the way things are set up, this is the

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.200
way things are done today and have been for many years. So we've been kind of

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:44.520
making do since the 70s, but when we move, when we take it to the next level,

00:32:44.520 --> 00:32:48.320
we're gonna bring things up to speed to where they need to be, what modern

00:32:48.320 --> 00:32:53.200
policing requires today. Did I answer your question, Joy?

00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:58.700
Just wondering if you are, you know, looking at new, are you looking at reconstruction, what are we?

00:32:58.700 --> 00:33:06.200
I think we're looking at the most feasible thing to do, and it's probably gonna be retrofitting an existing structure.

00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:12.700
That'd probably be the most likely. However, it's completely dependent upon funding and where that funding comes from.

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:18.200
If tomorrow we get congressionally directed funding for something, it might change the whole thing.

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:20.200
Okay. Thank you.

00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:33.320
Okay. Thank you. Thank you. We'll move on. Any public comments, agenda or non-agenda items?

00:33:33.320 --> 00:33:45.400
Seeing none, I would take a motion for adjournment. Motion by Seller, second by Johnson. All in favor?

00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.200
Aye. Opposed? Thank you.
