Yes. Mayor Dan. Yes. Receiving requests from the general public. Do we have anybody from the general public who would like to speak on anything that is not on the agenda? Hearing and seeing no one, we'll move on to bids and RFQS. And it looks like we
don't have any bids or RFQS at this time. for general business of agenda item 6A. Council to discuss task order for wastewater improvement design and council will take any action deemed necessary this morning because we need
to jump on part of it is with the rift explain how we did the combining the rift match match. Thank you. Um so I don't know if you remember
u the holiday we were asked for some FPV grants uh and did our facilities plan so part of the facilities plan we took out a portion of the project and one of the hard was the water conservation so we
approved our facilities plan and then they gave us money to for engineering we use that engineering money to leverage risk to get ran from rest to the water pump from station. So these two are tied
one will be design of the pump station and uh there are some other INI work that needs to be done and there are two or three lift states that need to be upgraded. So we took the one grant funds
from SRM and use as a match to the which is for construction. So that's identified together the one for the wastewater treatment do have for waste water improvement do have other portions that needs to be designed once those are
designed we can go after. So the two components are designed for the one lift station design for the rest of it and then construction for the water 80% grant design 80% and the red
will be 100%. What's our status of what we had going with the previous engineer and what we've got now? What do we got overlapping? Either they owe us or we owe them. McDonald is
still doing the uh CDBG grant. I mean the first RIF grant we got which was the water man. They're still working on it and they're doing the storm water landscape. They're doing the third if it's sign this. They're doing the third roof we got, which is the Warner lift
station placement. So, we're still working with Mark McDonald on two projects. The uh lift station and this they'll be working on the water list station and the design. The design was that remember the 94 million project had
11 different phases. If I'm not mistaken, this is design and engineering the phase one. Yeah. Which had six total projects in it. So, the uh the design of this was $864,000. And uh did you negotiate
any? That was what was written up in the You can't negotiate. you you've agreed to pay uh for these services based on the standard engineering curve. Whatever it
is, whatever the cost of the project, if you got a half a million dollar project, you're going to pay them a certain percentage of that. And if that project turns out to be a hundred,000, you still pay them the same blessing.
There's no negotiation, no nothing. What they're going to find is a gold mine here. This has already been done. All this pimple creek. All been done. It's either been in stitchy form
or slip line. When you and when you get through with this, when you get through with it, you're not going to have accomplished a thing unless you seal those manhole
covers. If the manhole covers, you wasted our time and somebody's money. You're exactly right. That's what the the slip lining mean. What happens is you're treating this is the first
phase of it and then we have to bid out the 90 unit city also but this is not one this is many projects in there uh also the fee actually is uh DP is based on an
allowance D allow is for a size of a project and whatever you use is you use if you don't use it it goes Well, what is your concern, Bill? The manhole covers been leaking pushing out of the manhole been
done. I mean, the works by Smith and Gillespie. Absolutely. All of it. Well, but if all of this collection system has been done, but if they didn't do it right, I don't know how you start how you slip line or
ins 2 million in get 2 million extra inflow during heavy rain. That's exactly right. And it's coming from the manhole. Sure. That's part of it. Guaranteed. Yeah, it's actually the the pimple creek
repair is a portion of it. There's three lift station that that's part of this also including the water lift station. So it's not we're going to look at uh that section is one small portion of the overall project. So once you look at it
you can decide the manhole as you said and we will inspect all those lines and you have to at that time you if the manholds and manhole cover whatever is outcome of that in investigation that's one portion of it then we'll ask D to
give us funding to do the construction of it if they're good as you know if somebody has already lined it this this A64 has no uh construction construction. No, no. This is that and then you have u
three or more stations that go through. My concern is you got nothing to do except you. Yeah, that's all you can do. They they got good lobbyists in here. talk about that's that's that's
why that bottom paragraph is there. You're agreeing to something you've never seen the other SR functions should be coming. Sure. Yeah. So there is three or four this is all comes tied together. So the report we did we're going to meet with
um D uh in one to two weeks depending on what their availability is and we're going to actually request the funding you know the next phases of those uh we're going to start requesting some funds out of those. So those are already the meeting
is set and there will be lot of construction funds coming in. The state has right now allocated for the hikes. There's two hikes Milson and both they have allocated $1.6 billion for
one in the community is affected by um your um we call you a small community. It's 100%. Okay. So 864 is just for engineering. That's for engineering. Okay. Several of
those projects, not one for those four. Yes. And then you're going back. You're going to go inspect it and find out what else needs to be done. And then you're going back for more money. Is that way for construction? Yeah. Money for construction. Yeah. Okay.
So, so we're we're uh somebody this is one of those things governor would love to get a hold of and get to Senate and whatever you call that but u paying 864 somebody's paying
864 and then there's going to be another 864 plus regarding Mr. My dad is going to be 8 million something. Yeah, the the pump station by itself is million. You already got the grant for that.
Those So that one station grant is already there. So that's just to get that done. Any idea when you might be able to start on this station on one? as we're going
to start tomorrow. Yeah. Because rift is on a city has the rift people are calling for every month meeting. We have to get it done. It's supposed to be every quarter. They change that every month because we're behind on the water listation and we're
just learning about these. So they're they're not they're being nice, but they're not happy with us. Let's make them happy. Anybody care to make a motion? Motion. Council member Rise, yes. Council member
Hampton, yes. Vice Mayor Landry, yes. Mayor Ted, yes. Agenda item 6B, council to discuss task order for Wonderless Station replacement and council to take any action deemed necessary. Pretty much already.
Yes, ma'am. Have a second. Second. Council member Bry. No. Council member Hansen. Yes. Vice Mayor Landry. Yes. Mayor Tedron. Yes. Just
agreed to an unknown number. How much does this cost? This one right here. We also agreed for them to help us find the funds. Do what? that they would help us find the funds to do all of this. Then you say then you
say you're agreeing the engineer owner shall pay the engineer for service rendered as follows and it's blank. How much is that under contract? Whatever contract it's actually the rift
part of the grant is uh for there's no number in it. That's my mistake. There should be a number in there. I think it's part the grant has a number. I'm just not going to vote for something that I don't know what it cost.
Do we know what the number is? Yeah. I think you got 1.37 or something for the whole thing. Yeah. For the construction what you already got the construction level for 100% grander money. It's in there. How much
is it? I'm looking it's blank. How much is it? Because it's only the engineering was 86 part of 864. Then this is a inspection once. It may be in something some document. It may be but it's not in the document I was given to approve. No.
And I do not approve something. I don't know how much it cost. John, this is what we need to add. have everything that we need. So, I got these today. Okay. I'm tired of getting out by
Florida. We waited around two months to hire engineers. We waited around two weeks to look over the contract. We're wasting time. We made a mistake. I can give you the numbers. Yeah, it's on page uh the amount page five.
What is the number? Uh the amount is 5,000 for hitting and inspection is 220 something 230 3.5 no 230 $230 that's for the inspection that is
allowed by RIF already gave you 1.8 1.7 and 1.6 6 million total construction. That's just we don't get We don't we don't have but you have anyway we know the numbers now. So
it's not your responsibility to get to this council. Okay. I'm saying it's not yours. I want to wait until next week, but I want to get long enough on it. Wait too long. They're probably going to
say, "Forget it." I've seen it happen. I got it this morning. Anyway, agenda item 6 C. Public hearing and final reading of ordinances or ordinance to amend the Perry Municipal Police Officers Retirement Trust Fund. Council will take
any action deemed necessary. An ordinance of the city of Perry, Florida, further amending the city of Perry Municipal Police Officer Retirement Trust Fund restated by ordinance number 8.81 81 as sub subsequently

conflict here with providing for authority and manner of adoption, and providing an effective date. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good. How are you? Freddy here. We'll go
to the police board. You guys have any further questions from what was read at the last meeting? I don't anybody. Does anyone in the tenants have any
questions or comments on the ordinance? Guess nobody needs to know anything else about it. Nothing's changed since last meeting. Seconds and for I appreciate it. Do we have a motion? Second council member. Yes. Council member Hansen.
Yes. Vice Mayor Landry. Yes. Mayor Dron. Yes. Thank you all. Thank you guys. Agenda item 6D first reading ordinance to add dental alma to wastewater. Council to take any action
necessary. Apologize I missed one. An ordinance to the city of Perry, Florida amending sewers and sewage disposal of the city to include dental alagam regulations, appealing ordinances in
conflict here with and providing an effective date. Only question I have personally is has it got to do with the mercury or just the metal fillings? I don't know. I'm asking I saw
I saw mercury pop up several times and I had to Google because I didn't know what it was. Mal, they don't use it anymore in Paris, but they do remove it like when they're fixing an old, you know, tooth that's had mercury or it's
mercury, silver, copper, other toxic metals. And and I spoke to the dentist to a dentist office today here in Perry and the state is already regulating them
and inspecting them. I think D has just wanted us to have this in our ordinance. Um they already have a a company come by and inspect the traps, replace the traps. Um,
so after finding that out, I'm a little I'm a little confused as to why D will drag the city in it. I'm going to find that out, but um they already take the necessary precautions to keep the Dylan out out of
the way, right? D was put this language, right? Yeah. something that came out of the DP. They wrote the whole thing. We just changed the section numbers and whatnot. Anybody else have any questions about
it? That's only a question I had. I wasn't sure. Well, this this is the first reading, so you're going to check on it and get back to us. Yeah. will take what he's got, send it to D cuz they may approve or they may want to
change and be added. They wrote the well we they give uh basically a template but you know just my experience with D it could happen.
The only concern I had was that if it's no longer in practice, why do we need this? Well, they don't use it to fill a cavity, but if there's but if there's an old filling that's bad and they pull out
the amalgam, it has to be captured. They use a porcelain filler, but if someone got a toothpick 10, 15 years ago and they removed it, it has to be captured. That that that's that's the
reasoning. So, any other discussion among the board or the public on this first reading? It's going to be here again next or next meeting. there. That's when I'm not actually voting on
it. Very good. Agenda item 6, city managers evaluation and council will take any action deemed necessary. What did you say? But I haven't done it yet.
You haven't done it. Okay, we can circle back around. We can circle back around next meeting or something. We can tell you start this morning. I lost power. Don't tell me another garbage
truck. I hope not. The source of objective he had his power ripped out by one of those. What was it? One of those limb trucks. Yeah. We just we just stay with this to the
next meeting. We'll circle back around the next meeting about it. All right. Agenda 96F resolution 2025-07 budget amendment D&G club kitchen
expansion a resolution of the city council amending the budget of the city of Perry Florida for the fiscal year October 1, 2024 through September 30th, 2025 I updated
um because I added where it says It's for natural gas and the parks fund. The numbers didn't change or anything. I just missed putting in the gas in the original resolution that I sent
out. But this is for what we had discussed a while back. And I just need to put it formally on paper for our budget. Motion. Council Bruns. Council member Hansen, yes. Vice Mayor
Landry, yes. Mayor Dan, yes. Agenda item 6G, resol resolution 2025-08, declaring National Police Week. Motion to open. Council member Ryan. Yes. Council member Hampton. Yes. Vice Mayor Landry. Yes.
Mayor Petry. Yes. Agenda item 6H. And I got to admit, I looked this up this morning. Emily was doing something and she was telling me it was National Police Week. And I looked up just for the sake of it National
Firefighters. Found out it was last weekend. So, we let that one get past us because I just did not I didn't know. But now I do know. I'll forgive you this time. I appreciate it. I figure better late than never. We're not too late.
But, you know, hey. Anyway, agenda item 6H, resolution 2025-09 declaring National Falling Firefighters Memorial Weekend, which was the weekend before last. So move.
Council member Ryan. Yes. Council member Hampton. Yes. Vice Mayor Landry. Yes. Mayor Dress. Yes. Thank you. Agenda item six. I council to appoint two members to the DH board and council take any action
deemed necessary. Yeah. was a mess today. John, we didn't we by our board of law bylaws, we have two city appointees on our board of directors. One of them, NDA Parker Pace is eligible for another term. He would like to be reappointed and then um Deborah McGru with the other city
representative and she has turned out. So, I don't know what your historical process has been. The county usually puts an ad in the paper for a couple weeks, see who applies, and then our board chair would look at them over with you and you all could appoint somebody else. But I don't know if you want to follow that same process, but
I'll just follow you. It works. I did that. I was seeing turn red. I'm glad there's firefighters. This kid. So, I guess there's two things. Having
no reappoint, if y'all are willing to, we'd like to have her remain on the board. Second, Council Bri, yes. Council member Hampton, yes. Vice Mayor Landry, Mayor
Pedron, yes. Yes. Advertising the opening. I get you language for that. Make sure there's no conflicts with whoever applies and y'all can appoint whoever is interested. conflicts. That's gonna be hard to find
in this town. Relatives that that's what I named. We have a great board. Bill can attest to that. So, there are some folks out there that want to help us. It's a volunteer board position. Very good. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Okay. Agenda item 6J. the council to discuss memoranduming of understanding between Perry Police Department and the Monosa Police Department and council to take any action deemed necessary. Um, it seemed like I'm bring a lot ofus before you for cooperation
with other agents. We've had one in the past with Monaceel. Um, with the emergence of violence at some of these festivals, parades, we're starting to collect people that want to help us and we in turn are expected to help them. Um, so we're trying to increase presence
of any of our festivals and parades and are asking for the same thing and this would allow us to do this with motion. Council member rides. Yes. Council member Hans. Yes. Vice Mayor Landry. Mayor Ket. Yes. Agenda item 6K. Council
to approve Kalin Tyler's appointment. It's a fifth me to the fifth member seat on the Perry Pension Board of Trustees. Take any action necessary motion. Have a second.
Council member Ryan. Yes. Council member Hampton. Yes. Vice Mayor Landry. Yes. Mayor Kron. Yes. Agenda item 6L. council to appoint one citizen to serve on the Perry Police Pension Board of Trustees, take any action deemed
necessary. Um, Daniel Everett has voiced interest in this. We've talked to him. Member of the police department has he's agreed to it. Um, so we consider I'd like to consider his appointment. Motion. Have a second.
Second. Council member Ryan. Yes. Council member Hampton. Yes. Vice Mayor Landry. Yes. Mayor Ket. Yes. Agenda item 6 M. Council to appoint one citizen serve on the Perry Fire Pension Board of Trustees and take any actions deemed
necessary. I have talked to Emily Katherine and she had agreed to set on the board as long as no conflicts. Okay. Cuz we're the ones with
responses. If this goes broke, we got to come up with the money. I think it's a conflict. According to the pension board fund lawyer, it's there's no conflict with her sitting
there. But he did say that we needed to uh make sure the city attorney didn't have any conflicts with it. It's my person. I think it's a big conflict
myself. What kind of conflict? I just say I told you if that fund goes through it falls back to this council and this council may decide to sue that
board. Yeah, I think it is a conflict. I mean, there are conflicts that can be waved, but that would be up to the council if they feel like the liability is high. But I do believe that's a conflict. I know in the past there have been not as big of a deal situations
that there hasn't been where the mayor felt comfortable, but I do believe that would and I don't understand exactly what the board does with the pension. Um, it's my first time hearing it, but it does present a conflict. Well, I have to look somebody else. Keep
going now. I mean, I just I don't have anybody else in mind. Somebody else got somebody been looking for what? Three months. Three months. Three months. Question. Would it be a conflict if I
served on their force? I'm a city resident. I'd be eligible based off of that. Long as there's no conflict in me serving on their force. This is for the fire department. Yes. Yes. Again, this is personal I'm hearing of it. I don't believe there would be. I see something. I would offer I would offer if they
would have me, I'd offer my services to them. So, the council if you need to have somebody now if you got time, then I'll wait. You wait. I mean, that's up to the new council. I mean, we have to have you approved through the actual pension board to sit
on it. But when's your next meeting? August the 7 take my name to the board and keep looking and find somebody else that's fine but if you need to fill a seat and it's not a conflict I can based on my role as a city added to our advertisement if
anybody works. We're going to table this. We're just keep it on the agenda for now. All right. Agenda item 6 in. Approval of minutes from the April 8th, 2025 regular
session. second. Sorry, that's the second. Okay, we're going to change that to approval of minutes for the April 22nd, 2025 regular session. Any amendments or anything
needs to be made before we approve it? Do we have a motion? Motion Council member O'Bri. Yes. Council member Hampton. Yes. Vice Mayor Landry. Yes. Mayor, yes. John, I like most
Yeah, this that one and then that one as a throwback road. I wondered about that. I'm glad you clarified. That would only be mean something to some of us. Yeah.
And be nothing to anybody else. Yep. You talking about rose from the roses? Those of us that were born in 1850 would understand it. Those of us that were here in 1850 would understand or whenever it
was you on the street and ask you why you name why you put Ros because we're taking over the rose city. personally on number one. Good morning. Bill, you okay with number one?
I'm good. I'm good with it. Was good. I agree. We kind of see the others, but that one pops. First, okay. Oh. They going to do the little poles and
everything or I believe so. The holder everything that was damaged. Very good. Anything else? Do you have anything? Just a few a couple of things. I'm
almost maybe want to hold off on one, but I would like to get the council's insight, but um good good news, none of it's bad. Um is that the Sailor Manning situation um the fence is up. I know I' asked you all to give them an extension
of a month. The fence around their home um is up with no trespassing signs. They're asking again for um there to be something done in code enforcement regarding bunches. Um, I know there's been a lot of activity at that that
um that convenience store from visual anecdotal evidence. It does seem like there's less activity maybe because of a number of things including the recent um shooting at that store. Um but again, they they have completed
payment everything that was a part of the agreement. Um so we're just finishing and and coming up with the deed. um language to be able to present them um full ownership of that parcel. Um so I think that's a good thing. I'm
glad that that ended up being a a good result and that they followed through with their portion. There is another matter and I guess in the last few weeks it's been like a contract um a contract situation where we've had
a lot of contracts to review. Um this is a um there's one other thing though I was hoping that maybe there could be a brief discussion on um because I know that we have in the past been trying to be responsive to people interested in purchasing surplus land. You know just
finished the agreement for even the lease of surplus land. This is not a surplus land situation, but apparently um a buyer of of a foreclosed property um has bought up in a particular neighborhood. I think the address like
200 Davis Drive and um whoever owned the property actually put on an unpaved city street a small building, but it's like brick and mortar. I'm sorry. It's big. It's like the first part of it is 16 by
24. Second part of it is 20. So yeah. Well, in my head I was thinking like the kind of the type of extra building I would have on a piece of property if I had um and it was it was done improperly.
um and they're trying I guess to connect some of the tracks of land and um when they found out that that particular um structure significant structure is actually on property that they didn't own um and it was not like it wasn't a
situation where it was like misplotted or surveyed. They just chose to put a building there. Um my default response in that was that it was against the um it was a that that
building was done by um the earlier buyer of the property and you know when you get things on foreclosures or you buy one of the steps you have to deal with property as is. Um I didn't realize how big the structure was but um where I
saw where it was um that you know I would say the default would be you would need to remove it. I think their desire is to buy a bunch of those properties and sell it or do something else with it. Um and then they um they were wanting to know if it's possible for
them to buy the land. Um and that particular road I believe ends in sort of like a swampy area. is not a it's not a pastor, right? Um and um and so, you know, again, I just I held firm
to at least what um I feel that the rights are and that if they wanted to um have that further discussed, then we can have more um possible options to consider. But I just thought it was a cautionary tale because we don't
necessarily want people unlike us, you know, trying to get rid of surplus lands for people to go against zoning laws and put things places and then try to back door and um purchase that property. But it does go to like a swampy land. I don't believe it's a drive-thru. I don't
even know what the value would be. But I thought before I get into all of that, I wanted to have the council maybe express an opinion. is further back. It's under the tree cover. It's not the part that you see there. Right there. Yep. Right up back in the middle in the gap of the
road right there. It's right there under that tree cover. This other is a shed and only two that is owned by Mr. Columbus at 200 Davis. There's two different structures there. Well, looks like it was designed to go into a future neighborhood that never came about.
That's what it looks like to me, which is pretty common. You can see it right there. It's a road to nothing. The building is on the road. The street retention area, right? Yeah.
Retention that's owned by the shop or where is this something if you could research and you and city I mean John everybody get together and kind of research and get back to us.
that just wanted to make you all aware just because I know they've been just make sure whatever feedback you did have just mainly is there any utilities or anything in there that we're going anything we need to any reason why we need to keep it okay that's all we got
to answer I think more than anything in it or my opinion it is the other It's a swamp set retention. Yeah, I'm calling a swamp, but it's a retention pond. It's like a swamp. It's
like a swamp. That's a swamp. Swampy retention pond. They work. We've chased people into that. It's a swamp. There's two alligators. There is. There has been a recent survey done and
it is 100% city 100% what city how much city that wide all the way back that whole little pieces road is a
street it's unpaved it's a one of those unique situations they're making they're profitable profit that's why I didn't want they buy it as is they need to accept they deal it deal
with it as is yes that was my holding but again I know there's been and I didn't want to mistake that as to surplus property or create something where like but I I I
took it as um House member Brian says that they're making their problem our problem. But yeah, that happens pretty often with us. Well, that's true. That is true. And I maybe I would have probably felt more um sympathetic if it
wasn't like these big purchasers who are getting land and they get it as it is and then they want us to cure what's wrong with it versus do the research and just tear it down. made or do whatever they need to do to make it right. Um, but I I definitely want to hear
feedback. I thought there was no necessarily right or wrong answer except that they are wrong place, but it's not before. They did it deliberately. So, I'm sorry. And they did it deliberately. Well, probably had it before did it
deliberately. The people who had it before cuz these That's what I mean. Yes. Yes, sir. Yes, your honor. Yes. Can you get you want just you want to do some more research into it and see what you can come up with as far as Thank you for
your feedback though whether or not we could do anything to help them out or not. I don't know. I'm just the last one that came saying is look at it and see. We can look at anything. Don't even have to go along with it. I will say I check with the
property appraisers office and the tax collector's office. The property owners of 200 Davis Drive have been paying the taxes on the structure only. They have not paid property taxes of course on our
property, right? But they have been paying property tax on the actual structure, the accessory structure there. Gota, but I could definitely look into it and give you all more information. I just didn't want to presume that by um that
that may be something that the council want to review and not review because my default would that we don't want to start a precedent where people have unzoneed illegally structured things and then come and try to buy it versus just buy such I can bring more information.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Carly. We're now live completely in our new financial system. Good deal. We're on transition,
but we're getting there slowly. Everyone's gone out yet. Yes, they did go out. Um, they went out last week. They were late. I haven't. Well, well, the the people that we send them to, we didn't send them till like
Wednesday and then they have like a two to three day turn around. They So, we now our process now is we send a file and then a third party mails them out. We're going to be encouraging as many people as possible to go to e
billills because how you're feeling now. Um, it worked. We're like a charge. I I didn't I didn't want to put a whole bunch of people on e bills the first time because we did have a little bit of a glitch of it sending out, but now they seem to think it's fixed because everyone that was on e bills got their
bill as far as I'm aware. Um, but we now send the file to somebody, they mail it, and we don't have any control over how quick the post office gets it there. But it was it did go out late. We extended the deadline and we're not
charging penalties this month. So, where does the mail from, Carly? Do you know? Generally, I would say it's a different state, but I'm not sure. It's a company that partners with our
software. Gotcha. But it's not postcards. No. Letters. We not only had issues with post office, but they had issues with our postcards. Right. Yeah. And it's cuz they send it when we were mailing it ourselves, they
send it all the way to Jacksonville to then send it right back to um but we're going to add onto the utility applications like if people want to get e bills they can now put their email address and say that they want to get emails and hope I think a lot of
people will sign up for that. Thanks. All right. Good job. Thank you. Thank you, Jamie. Thank you for the resolution. Appreciate that. Daniel's not here. Did y'all notice the
clock out here? I talked to Danielle about it and asked her if we could get it painted like we painted all the light poles. And I'm telling it looks like a professional painted. It's got the gold trim on it and everything. It looks great.
Thank Ben Davis for that. Thank you, Ben Davis. He took his time. Did a good job. Got much too much to say. We've been trying to clean the parks up as much as we can.
Hey, both of them are back up running. Good deal. Thank you. Good deal. Appreciate it. Sure. Uh she's done a good a job with
ATVs. Um I still think we need a sign or two at a lock bridge. What was that? They don't know. No ATVs or off road. Got no vehicles beyond this point of now and
they considered a vehicle. I would still like Clint to say no ATV. Some people I'll get some signs that say no ATVs as well. I mean they're going to follow just the same way they do those.
But it would not be an excuse when you stop them the next time. There's no excuse now. I know they're not supposed to be there. That is a view. How many signs you talking about? Are they four or five? Are the kids
allowed to ride? Nobody's allowed to ride in the parks. Period. Nobody. Not truck. And if they thought that it was legal, they wouldn't run. Everybody runs. Everybody. They don't run from me. I
think they come back my house. I can pull my regular city truck out there and then they take off. And there's so many city people in that neighbor. Oh, I agree. We're doing everything we can within reason. We appreciate it. Um, garbage
cans and we go back to requiring that we take them off the right away. The ordinance says 7 am 7 pm. You have to have them out by seven and collect them that evening by 7. Have an ordinance already addressing that.
Okay. Address it. Now we can we can we can start addressing it through citation. No. No. I think that we should make them aware again. Education.
Whatever way we want to do it. Maybe we could put it on the water bill just somewhere in large print. I mean larger. No, you're not bigger. Y gota make a bigger store. We can now
put messages on there so that Well, I've been getting a lot of complaints saying that if we would do that, the city would look a whole lot better. So, we can think about it.
Very good. Um, I can't remember. Thank you. it was landing. A practical question about that. Not that they're there now, but if they were to site, would that be like something that handled like a charge on
their bill? That would go before the magistrate for a violation. Oh, I was just trying to learn all of that. We We would have to look at the fine. See, it probably start at $25 for a violation and go up like the rest of Okay. I I was just practicing or it
could be 250 each. I just have to look at the code and see what it says. Maybe I just make my own single mission as speaker. We can help with a little education piece
on the bills that we can send out. Mr. Landry, how are we addressing the homeless situation? Um, there's not a lot that we can do with that. Um, we tell them where they can and can't be. Uh, that
move. The city doesn't have a stance of allowing them to remain in the city and camp because if we do, under that law that's been established, we have to set up a camp for them and provide utilities. Yeah. So, um we encourage them to find services
elsewhere that way. Would you do that? Would you mention the senior center because they have a program that they can help put back in? Have we have we got our audit adjustments yet? We have not. They're
waiting on a report from the actuaries, the OPED report, and then he said once he has that, it should be able to get it before us to review, but he's saying it's still going to be a couple more weeks based on what the actuary said. Have we have we made an
estimate of uh what our loss of income is going to be next year in water revenue, utility tax, natural gas, property
taxes, and sewer if any. They still are currently using water out at you're talking about GP. You're just talking about don't know we say in that instance we may not
lose it, we may gain, right? But in uh natural gas we're going to lose. Have they already quit using natural gas or are they still Yeah, that is the last one. Um, all we did was pass along invoices and
we made money from FGU um just based on an exam, but that ended last month. So, we were the city was getting about 30 grand a month. 10 grand. 10 grand. Yeah. Gotcha.
Can I ask a question? Back when we had the issue with super fun gas not being paid for, not being bu for and everything and I asked, couldn't we
have seen what they paid the year before and realized that they were not paying enough? And I was told that they don't buy gas from us. Is that still true? They still do not buy gas from us. I guess they do buy gas.
I was going to say if they don't, somebody needs to go and talk to them. Yeah, they they do. Great. Thank you. What you're talking about, first thing you got to do is look. Yeah, that's Yeah.
Yeah. Thank you'all very much.
