questions on any agenda items president um I don't know whether or not I have not had an opportunity to meet with a newers American Water regarding 14 v3i American Water Fest there's some issues with the road closure stuff so I don't know if we can
table that or whether needs to be done tonight they they just wanted to know if it was I think they were looking for early approval to start their planning yeah okay I mean I don't have an issue with the date or anything like that the only thing is with the road closure Stu yeah I think that could be worked out as long as Council approves it you can do
whatever you want so you're saying we could go ahead with it yes sir okay all right anybody else all right uh next we would have the mayor's report number seven on the agenda okay so just a couple things um I spoke to Chief Kinsley the fire
department um and he expressed that the people parking on the sides of the streets either north or south or north um you have to pick one side and Council he's recommending for the sake of the
fire trucks getting through those streets that you clo you um restrict thank you that's the word restrict parking on one side of the street because when there's two and Joe you're fireman I I don't believe you can
get through there on the on the streets not the Aven not the Aven yeah like Camp Street and some of them there may not be houses on I don't know we'd have to look at that but I'm sure um so that said you have to pick either the North or South
part of the street I don't know if there's a need to do that in an ordinance or yeah City already has an ordinance section which restricts parking on one side of the street on multiple streets so if we want to go through and figure out what ones we want to add to that it
wouldn't be hard to update the ordinance to just add additional streets that section so Ryan could that be done selectively or would you have to just say every every one on the South Side he said some are already yeah you can approach it however you want you want do some North some South um different
sections I mean right now it's literally like peace meal it's like two blocks here and a block there so I can think of some places where it would be a problem for some of the residents yeah if it they could park in front of their house yeah agree some blocks would be on one side others the other right okay so somebody's gonna have to review this
because you know committee yeah it would be a safety issue so or Ryan I mean you have that Google Earth thing maybe you can yeah street map a recommendation and then bring it back
to one of the Committees to the ordinance committee and and then Joe you'll know specifically which ones if he did or didn't identify okay yep and then um obviously we've had another fatal accident on White Horse
Pike this past week like adults is to the families I think that it may be prudent to petition the state once again to reduce the speed limit on on the waiver Pike we had tried one time but uh
with no success and I don't know what the rules are on that but normally with County Roads it depends on how many motor vehicle accidents and fatalities unfortunately that there are some of you that have been here a while recall that
we finally got a four-way stop on brayman and deer street that was a big one and also um Moss Mill and bramman so what what's your anybody have any thoughts on that Ryan you look like you want say well I mean it's not going
to happen so stop dreaming well the last time we petitioned dot they said based on our study we should increase this sweet limit so I mean we can ask again but my guess is they're going to hold up the same study or maybe conduct a new one come up with similar results how do
they do that sheap is a b like the county roads the fatalities or is that well that so you you can petition on safety grounds typically they look at what's called the 85th percentile speed so you monitor everyone's speed and the speed limit should be at the 85th percentile of everyone was driveway that
worked like 60 years ago but now a road drives 5 to 10 miles hour over the speed limit so if you did that speed study just about anywhere you get a higher speed limit than what you're you know the current ones so um I mean personally I think it's a flawed approach but that's the nationally accepted guidance
still that District so just what about asking them to restripe the road and make it one lane in each Direction with a center turn lean so we did that too um that's called a road diet typically um the the generally accepted guidance is
anything greater than 16,000 cars a day it's probably not going to be appropriate with a hard cap of around 18 to 20,000 um the last vehicle counts that they had on Route 30 um at the approaches for Carver City was like 22,000 cars a day so when we brought
that to Do's attention they said we don't think it's a good fit um you know it's sort of well beyond what the normal established limits are so they didn't they didn't really want to dive into it further than that I we can ask for anything the wor they can say is about 15 years ago they gave us that option to
go with the three lanes to the four lanes right and city council took a vote and voted to keep it the way that it is and uh maybe it's worth looking into again because I think it would slow cars
down yeah definitely ask again um I mean even even if it doesn't slow cars down it gives you the opportunity to have like pedestrian islands and to control the flow of traffic you know any time you have two lanes of traffic you have to cross you have the potential for a larger vehicle to be in the left lane and a smaller vehicle to be in the right
lane and they stop and the other car can't even see um so it's it's just about conflicting movements and sight lines I would I would reach out again yeah you can certainly ask and we have that issue with the um breast areas for the drainage corre that are
have a little problem that would solve that yeah be off the curve my only concern with that is traffic backup and I think that was one of their arguments because we have so much traffic um not to mention the Train the
intersection of Philadelphia in Route 50 when the Train's there that traffic's backed up and then you know cars can't get through I mean I don't know I would like to you know I would think it would be nice for for that one section from the Philadelphia Avenue to at least the
next light St Louis to do something creative there without causing that much of a disturbance but to to go from two lanes to one lane on that block those two block three blocks right I don't know if that would even be a solution
but no I think that would have to be the whole I agree um yeah I mean to put together ACC records and approach the state from that angle not just to say hey people are speeding and say look this is a public safety concern it's happening in our
town and we'd like to do something more signage like a flashing sign slow down whatever yeah we talk about Flash vegans um I think did they find I think they added the enhanced lighting along that that section um but
yeah they they definitely respond more positively to public safety concerns than they do to speed problems and we did talk about this with the Safe Streets to school meeting that we had with the school too I think they on that as one of our requests but I'm I can't swear to it because I don't know how
many kids use a lot of a lot of the kids from Atlantic Avenue use um might might use the pike to get to school and then cross over at the corner of Philadelphia to you know where the crossing guard is so but I don't know
we'll F we'll find that out soon I hope y um and we had a meeting with American water today Joe and I and and ran Joe and I we we met with them to talk about their plans going forward and a particular issue that's going on on
Cincinnati and and dwig with a customer so we're trying to coordinate it with the um upgrades that we're making to the water and sewer lines that are going to eventually produce new
streets I say that r and then just just to thank uh the Public Works they did a great job of preparing for the snowstorm with ala Brine and they also did a great job plowing and clearing the streets I got so many compliments um people that live
in ventner they're like wow how come ventner can't do this with all the taxes I pay like so it was nice to hear and I think everything went well hopefully we won't have any more snow storms but who knows and that's all I have thank you
okay thank you um start with the committee reports for city council uh councilwoman Hess you w to do Safety Code and rotary okay I have nothing for
safety I have nothing for rotary but for code I do have we had a meeting on February 4th and um few things we're working on uh we're working on updating our Solid Waste ordinance uh it has not
been updated since the municipality collected trash so it definitely has to be updated before we do any kind uh moving forward with anything uh the second thing we have also been working with the code department on rental registrations and scheduling
inspections the uh department will be TR trying out an online scheduling system and a bill pay for um for the convenience of the landlords and the department uh Jody is there any has
anything um can you elaborate on that I know Jody was working on the online bill pay as well as the scheduling anything do you have Bill Pay just admins right now we have it for tax and utility so we're just working to add um for the Construction office and also we're going
to try to add the clerk's office as well so um to give people a little more opportunity they can pay online without having to come into city hall or credit card and credit card so we'll hopefully have a resolution for the next meeting so um I did contact Ed them so I guess they're just in the process of setting
it up on their end um so um once I have more information from Edmond I'll pass it along and the scheduling hopefully next week we'll get a chance to finish getting that set up and maybe I suggested that we just we can do a trial of it so we're going to try to just do like a small sample rather than blast it
out and then in case it doesn't work um we'll just try on a small scale and see how it goes so everyone posted us that P out will the credit card processing fees be paid by the tax it would get pass on to whoever pays the whatever that's how tax utility
works right now it'll be the same and it won't be the only way you want to pay you know we will accept cash or it's just for convenience sake if people want to do that uh thank you Jody uh and then we will be re reviewing the code enforcement applications at our next
meeting and uh the next committee meeting will be on March 4th at 6:30 it's all I have Joe thank you thank you uh next we have public works and Highway councilman Doby yes um I want to also commend the
staff of the public works department who are down one other staff person resigned in the last couple weeks and they did a terrific job with this preparing for the storm and very impressive uh Jerry has done a great job in getting
everybody geared up and trained and U we appreciate the the work they did uh we had a meeting last week to go through the applicants for Public Works director um we narrowed it down to seven
and next Friday we'll have interviews with the seven candidates um and then we'll go from there that's it okay thank you uh next we have property uh and
sustainable a caror city okay El woman well nothing for property but we uh are going to go out and look at some properties next week with uh uh Di austino and um I'll report back on that um what was the other one sustainable
sustainable well I I think I should I don't have anything for sustainable but you're going to make a report for um ordinance I mean uh yeah ordinance and I'll elaborate on that okay all right that's it yeah okay so
we'll go right to that um ordinance committee as a councilwoman hessie spoke we did re uh some proposed orenes for a solid ways um however we were looking at other towns saying how they how they had
addressed it um at this point uh we're not moving forward because we still have some revisions to make um we also did look at um uh the ordinance for for tree removal um we looked at it we U proposed
some changes um and I I believe nette said you know she would speak on that more thoroughly um we uh listened to the public at the last meeting U that we had uh here at Council was January 23rd and
we did have a an ordinance committee meeting on the 27th that following Monday and the committee agreed to remove the application fees and the replacement fees that would be charged for Replacements not undertaken by the property owners the committee felt that
as long as the city had outside funding to replace trees the property owners would not need to be affected the next day the Green Team hel held a public meeting to educate the public about the requirements of the ordinance the meeting was posted on YouTube channel
and has since received about 25 views uh also that same day we learned that the person you elected as president Froze all funding awarded through the inflation reduction act approved by Congress in 20 uh 2022 we've been instructed by our plus
gr partner which is Hispanic access Foundation to stand down on any tree activity provided through the grant which would include hiring a contractor to perform tree maintenance to extend the life of our healthy trees remove ones that are at high risk and plant new
trees to eliminate the islands adopting the ordinance would result in taxpayers being responsible for maintaining our street trees which would be burdensome on the taxpayers without outside funding the taxpayers of a Harbor City cannot afford to incur
additional costs not currently budgeted will hold off adopting the ordinance and doing any tree related activities until the president decides if the funds will be released it okay um I have a finance and Redevelopment report uh for the tax
collector uh for the month of January she collected so $629,999 2016 and other activities that have happened since our last meeting we've been
working on that meeting for February 19th to have property owners for the main street come in and we're going to have a a guest speaker I'll ask Mr doy when I'm done here to comment on that
but um we're hoping to get as many Property Owners from the Main Street to come in talk about their properties whether they're they have tenants in them or uh they're vacant and we want to talk about what we need to do as a community
working along with them to bring businesses that we've identified um types of businesses that we've identified to try to match them up with those properties we also have been working with the uh Atlanta County
Economic Alliance and they have offered to take pictures and get information about some of the or all of the bacon properties doing inventory put a booklet together
and pass it around and get it out to their contacts to try to attract businesses to come into AC corber City so between working with the business owners and property owners and working with the alliance and our local
EDC uh we're hoping to stir up some some good press and good comments and feelings about come into AC Carver City and opening up a business so U the other thing that we talked about is signage
you know we're we're talk they're marketing our town on the Main Street through the accea but we need to do some things about that too and um one thing if you drive down a road and you look at go through a town and there's a little sign
there said welcome to whatever city um we have that too but ours is old and it's kind of worn and we want to try to Spruce that up a little bit so when people we would hope to have the rot 30 Carter looking better than it does now
to identify that it is a corporate City but uh we do feel that an attractive sign and that's just an example of something that we could uh could possibly put up so we're going to look into that a little further get prices
and and ideas on the design and and where to put them and uh and even uh one of the comments on the committee was to have an identity for our town by the signage and in some towns you see that where it there's a welcome sign coming
into the city and then there's a sign somewhere down the street that says City Hall this way or the a harbor lake or the schools you know different things like that they W have a similar type sign that identifies with that town and
and we're looking to do the same thing so we'll be working on that and then um coming up on the 20th next Thursday we have a gentleman coming from New Hampshire who's a developer of single
family homes and he's somewhat interested through a video conferencing we have with him on the a corber North property and the uh phases that are still left to be developed so he's actually coming down with his crew and
we're going to walk the site with them and uh try to gain some interest there of uh of that project and there's so much that can be done out there and uh he seemed pretty interested when we talked to him on the phone so again
another area that we're trying to stir up interest in a corporate City to get some development and um I guess that's it for now at least already talked about the New Jersey water American water and they were very
helpful very uh informative they've done a lot of work already as we've seen and we asked them about the water tower you know what's going to happen there and that that's that's on their list to Spruce that up too is there any other commit reports
anybody else School Board School Board sorry School Board um the school board uh meeting for the caror city uh School District was changed from yesterday they were they canceled it yesterday because of the snow um but it'll be on the 19th
and then uh the greater e Harbor Regional High School District will be having there on the 24th and I should have a more thorough report at the next meeting okay thank you L use board okay L use board L use board will be uh held on the
18th uh if anyone wants to attend that okay thank you U chief of police Marcel Allen okay so just a few numbers for you from the last two weeks we've had one burglar call Four theft eight motor vehicle
accidents 18 traffic stops 30 flat summons is issued one DUI arrest and total four arrests um including with DUI four business alarm three residential alarm 67 crime prevention activities three domestics 31 EMS incidents eight
uh Firearms ID applications four follow-ups 21133 property checks 10 public Public Service um calls uh we did unfortunately have a fatal motor vehicle accident on Friday involving a uh an SUV and a motorcycle I
can't really comment too much more on um the specifics of it however it was a um accident and you know I know that speed is an issue or a big concern um unfortunately the data that we do have
regarding accidents is a lot of times the recent fatalities that we have had have been pedestrian incidents and left turn incidents um I'm not saying speed's not a factor uh but I think the state will probably you know as Ryan said come
to the conclusion that with the 8 percentile that you know they would recommend to raise the uh speed limit one thing that has happened and this is prior to the prior to the accident that happened on Friday the Atlanta County prosecutor's office
um in conjunction with all of the municipalities is looking to do combined efforts for targeted traffic enforcement to help reduce the number of fatal accidents I do believe I spoke about the high number of fatal accidents that have happened throughout the state happened
throughout the state last year um and so we are trying to have a targeted effort on the county and Municipal level to help uh combat that um through not only targeting enforcement but also educational um things that you may see
on our social media we do get information from the state to put out about different traffic enforcement Traffic Safety distracted driving so you will see some of that coming up um otherwise
um one of the things that uh mayor Jim Petty brought up I did to Chief Kinsley about a fire chief Kinsley about the parking on the streets and um he asked how I felt about that it is an issue when you do have folks parked on both
sides of the street just so that everybody understands the streets that go what we call east to west so arago Beethoven Burger Camp Claudius dter WG those streets um make it very difficult for larger Emergency Equipment
ambulances and fire trucks to get through if people are parked on both sides of the street I do think you're going to have an uphill battle because there are residents who do park in front of their streets and some although they're not as common as the ones on the Avenues there are folks who Park on um
Claudia Street or not CL on those streets having lived on Claudia Street I know that I used to um so you might get some blowback there but um other than that we have uh we were not as busy as we anticipated I do have to say I kind
of wish that the snow stuck around a little bit longer so that we could enjoy the great job that Public Works did they really did an incredible job so kudos to public works for being out there um and you know it's it's a shame that we couldn't enjoy the clear roads with some snow on the side some more but um I'm
not complaining it's about 50 degrees uh I believe that is all I have unless there unless there are any questions for you you have a thought about the three lanes versus four lanes I don't I have not given it much thought um you know I'd have to take a
look at it's it's amazing to me that there are areas for example on Tilton Road I can't imagine that Tilton Road um by Weeble and between um The Bridge coming that over the expresso I can't imagine that they have less than 20,000 cars going there and that is one of
those um one of those three Ling things so I'm I'm not sure but uh do you know what I'm talking about Ryan the stretch of tilt I'm thinking about is actually five Lanes to an each Direction with the com so I'm talking about so you know where the C the not Circle so you can
turn right to go between the airport and the between yeah between the airport and the light there where you make the right to go to you pass the Rex Motel you pass yes that's yeah that section yeah I know talking about so that I believe is three
lanes correct so um but see the ad I'm guessing that when they did that the traff was not yeah there's that too like refence offered to do it 20 years ago traffic counts are low enough and now well they they did a traffic study
in 2009 and they brought it the study here was on the TV and it showed that the only traffic you would have to wait uh for a light to turn more than once was going towards hamton front of the
diner on Fridays in the summer on July and August from 4 to 7 every other time you would only have to wait for one turn of the life um yeah in 2009 a concern there with that is for me is the the waa entrance
there on the Terrace you know we've seen an uptick in in in traffic there because of that entrance on the Terrace um because anybody coming south on Philadelphia Avenue will usually get into the left turn lane because chane
goes first um and but so you may have some backup there and then with the Auto Zone and the diner traffic you know there there may be some issues there in terms of backup but um no I haven't really thought about it I haven't really looked at after the traffic study that was done a few years ago where they're like oh no we we we would recommend
increasing the speed of much they already go fast enough right they really did um but yeah any other questions concerns could could I just mention something um could they consider did they consider the shoulders
since we have no no shoulder whatsoever and it really is that's part of I think the problem I mean I don't know you would know more than than I would what causes these these accidents but I know myself coming out when I'm coming out by the bowling alley I can't see in my car
I can't see and especially with you know with the um fence that they have over there but other streets as well you don't have enough time because there is no shoulder so can they take that into consideration R yeah I mean the the configuration that they have they're
they'll be the first ones to tell you is not a desirable layout you have substandard wi Lanes um you have no shoulder you have the curb right up against the the right hand lane um so I mean the dot is the first to tell you that they would not lay out a new road like this but they're limited by their
RightWay they only have a 66 foot RightWay I think it is um so they there's just not much room behind the curb to do anything um they'd have to totally eliminate any sidewalks or any of that they have to move all the utility polls back I mean it would be a
you know 20 plus million dollar project probably to try to out a shoulder so so it wouldn't help if they were to go uh three lanes down to three lanes no that that would potenti that would probably help from a safety standpoint I think Dot's concern is volume and level of
service they have to do um calculations at specifically at intersections to make sure that they're providing um what they call an acceptable level of service which is how much time you have to wait at the light before you can get through it which is sort what counc president
was indicating so when he's saying that they would get to a point where you'd have to wait more than one light cycle when you get to that point that's considered a level of service F and that's never something that they want to design for so right now they have acceptable levels of service at all the
traffic lights but they have a safety concern that we're going to bring back to their attention that we'd like to weigh like them to weigh against that um so I you know maybe they would do another study yeah yeah I mean it's certainly possible everything they've done has been to this point has been
kind of Peace meal for lack of a better way to put it um you know maybe we sort of request that they do a comprehensive study not just of individual traffic traffic volumes or speed study but you know a more comprehensive look at the problem and looking at the traffic safety records and all that stuff too so
thank you anybody else okay thank you um you good things um well one good thing I hope everybody can and will participate in uh read Across America if anybody has reached
out to you the police will of course will be out at sprad reading um our favorite Dr Seuss uh books um on a sad note in addition to the fatal motor vehicle accident that we did have here the Atlanta County prosecutor's office um one of the
detectives who has worked with egg haror City unfortunately took a life-threatening fall down some stairs earlier this week um so just like everybody to keep his family in their prayers um not a good situation I'm
feeling particularly grateful having taken me spill uh last month and knowing just how lucky I was to not have any serious injuries you know a little ping cuss but you know that's that's fine um but yeah he's in intensive care so um
please just keep him in your prayer all thank you very much all right number 10 CFO report Joe thank you okay uh City Clark okay um engineer sure so I'll just
go through the sort of more active stuff if you got any questions about anything I can Circle back um so Archway green we had our preconstruction meeting at the end of January um contractors now providing submittals um you know once they get some material I think he said they'd be starting demo either next week
or early the fall week um so you'll start to see like the the fence along the back of the sidewall come down on things like that um the Lake Campground improvements um I believe we did now submit the application I wasn't able to confirm with the guy was on vacation but apparently did not get it out before he
left so I believe that's it now um City Hall Ada improvements we're working through the design there um scheduled a bid that this spring uh ibank project our survey is almost complete we have a couple of gaps to fill in um but we're working on the design of that so we can get that out to bid and award it before
the end of June um the tennis courts and pball Court the base Paving is now complete over there um there's a couple puddles and stuff that are still there don't panic um there's still a whole another layer of asphalt to go down and that's where they correct that kind of stuff um
so they'll have to pay close attention when they're doing it but certainly have the opportunity to fix those little puddles um white Becker demo is not on this list but it's on the agenda um probably on this list for next meeting so so um we bid this twice last year um
it was much higher than the original quotes that we received U but it's still there it's not going away so um I believe that you guys are going to discuss authorizing us to rebid that again see if we can get you know hopefully some lower pricing on that um
and then we're going to follow on a recommendation for parking on one side on one streets so that's it let's see what any questions I do have one question so if it is approved atantic electric approves your application how long do you think it would be before it's it's going to
depend on lead times um I believe that the panel we're specifying is not anything out of the ordinary so that shouldn't be a huge lead time but I can tell you we just had switch gear for a project at a school that the lead time is like 62 weeks so um I don't I don't
believe we're using anything that'll be at that level but the electrical lead times are all over the back so I don't want to make any promises okay and you took into consideration what Gary suggested the last meeting yeah so we actually I reviewed it with um the electrical engineer he got back he
actually is requesting a new poll be set at a new Transformer to try to avoid the situation where if we request a second they' recommended underground um because it would be a lot cheaper for them to just drop a new pole and put in a Transformer and feed it from a different location rather than putting another panel right where the existing ones are
so um yeah that that approach should avoid them you know coming back with the sky underground service request but we'll see I don't want to get that phone call when it's suff it's not the right thing no it should be good okay thanks
Ryan sure I have a question what's going on with the EV charging stations anybody so I finally got one of the two there's two vendors that have kind that are on who did you contact one is Brian energy who you probably have seen cars
and different comples um they're both on the es MJ Co-op so um he sent me the two now that the count is going to do the transit had to update it just for City Hall and for Philadelphia Avenue and I'm going to send that to
Ryan but I was kind of waiting because I have the other company trer electric that's on the co-op because I found even when it's the same Co-op that the prices still can be different so still yeah so I still want to get you know a price so I actually sent a followup email I'm
going to try to call it's point on there I believe yeah I I'll double check I want to say it is a charge Point charger let me see if it says in his charge points an equipment vendor they don't actually do installations I think the one quote that Jody sent me month this ago was
charge Point equipment because I actually recommended yeah so I actually recommended a different model that I thought being worked on I just I'm hoping because for year I said we got to spend some of their free money and now
we don't have free money I'm hope it well hopefully we will I mean the you know we'll see what happens anyway um I'm hop I don't know if I was originally hoping to be able to maybe award the next council meeting but I think some of the other grants that go along with it
like the pays to play and um it's the electric we might need to like apply for those before we can like approve a purchase order so I'll get the timing so hopefully if not the next meeting maybe first March meeting we can
a so the problem is you're not getting any responses is that what it is it must be nice to like sell literally the most expensive products and not need to like get back to people yeah I mean I you I like housing them and you please send me
a quote the state came out with additional funding for EVS and they're looking at uh trucks and stuff for like public works or whatever yeah yeah there's another one coming in so but I like I said if I don't hear from the other one then we can probably just move
forward with the one that we have but you know I'd rather I'd like to i' like to have the other companies you know just to kind of make sure because it's pretty much assuming that we get the max amount for the other it'll almost be exactly what we need okay good thank you
I have a question for Ryan Ryan this is this is regarding the streets and just going on one side side of the street parking um is there any chance um as what the um Chief said that there's some areas that there's people both sides of the street they need to be parking
because it's right in front of their homes it's it's would be a major inconvenience is there any way that we could possibly Mark out and have it staggered so they aren't directly across from each other in those areas I mean just I don't know it might be too much
work I I I mean I'm not sure but I just figured I don't think there's that many areas that there's homes directly across from each other that people would park so maybe we could stagger them in those areas that direction the blocks are only
150 feet long coming out of intersection you have to have a 25 foot clearance from the intersection so that brings you down to 100 feet parking space is 22 feet long okay down to 56 in
between well four five four right right so you what I'm getting is essentially you'd end up with like one spot and then a gap so that you'd have like a leaving SE and then one spot on the other side so I don't know you're probably better to just have four spots on the opposite
side of the street I mean I can't imagine people are going to be too upset it's only 24 foot wide street by the time you get out of your car you're 20 feet away from where you would been okay you know I can't imagine that's too big of lift I mean some people are got to be upset don't get me wrong but yeah um
unless their was burning then they'll be up yeah always thank you any other question for uh Ryan yep ke wreck yes so um I guess I'll send out an email I was kind of just waiting to hear back on
availability but I'll send an email to try to get um from the people that would like to attend the pre-application meeting um I didn't want to just send it up and like just me though because I don't know exactly what you guys want to do um I know it's difficult to make a day meeting inform um and a few others
so maybe I'll reach out to the commission staff and see if they can accommodate a virtual meeting like after hours like a five o'clock virtual or something like that okay because I know it's going to be hard to get the right people there in the middle of the daytime right one thank you um kre the
the expansion of the snack stand and um the topad for the port potties and a couple other imprints um but we got to have a prea because there's an existing violation on the other side that I just got to figure out how hard they're going to be on us what we're going to need to
resolve it is that the parking issue parking lot over there yeah ex Park you know there is a piece of ground across Buffalo Avenue at Kyra owns yeah
can that be turned into parking um yeah we we did a site plan for it a little bit before the water treatment plant was uh constructed because there was discussion of moving the former duckin duck out building right to that and
using it for kre um it didn't work out because it was like falling in on itself and never much to discuss this but um but we do have a site plan for that site so yeah any anything is possible over there that's where they wanted the um Community Center remember or meetings right that's what saying that that
building was had the potential to to move there Gary cleared it all but then what something they didn't have the money to put it on put it when we started to dig into the building it was going to be more cost to to relocate it than it would have been just build new just for
par just clear it well yeah but if when you create drivable imp perious surface you got to deal with storm water and you got to do boardings and all that fun stuff so possible but not okay anything else for Ryan or
