there's going to be some free hot dogs and beverages for anyone who turns out 5:30 Thursday night and then also a little reminder about uh Friday night is a Lohan night and uh hope people turn
out for that it's a really a fundraiser for our um fund for New Park equipment that's uh play equipment at Central Park going to be warm too so nice warm a nice
night I have an item I just want to assure the council and the public that the community center work group has been meeting weekly and that we are pursuing looking at buildings and um for like
Remodel and I guess in lie of looking at a new build so that's meeting weekly moving on thank you for that update I'll keep it right under your mayor in Council Communications um with the passing of Rosemary Martin left a a
large hole within the city in many ways um but you know not only if she's not here but she was involved in so many of the the uh um groups that we have the work groups that we have put together you know she was part of the Planning Commission she's part of the charter
commission she was a part of the police commission um am I missing any that she was a part of that's it airport airport airport commission so we will be looking you know that's four four uh groups that she was on and and uh so we're going to be not that you know it was it's very
fresh in our minds but not that we're trying to push our way through that CU we're all saddened by her passing but the fact is is is we uh there's a big hole left in the city but we need to fill those SP so is there a special big hole in the charter cuz didn't she a
trater well but she held some certain didn't she have something that made her be able didn't she go through some training boy I don't know well yeah she had all kinds of training but I I don't know that there was anything in particular for her having that position
but she was the the chair of that yes yeah I know she was the chair but I thought there was something she had done that helped us meet some well we have to have file a report annually and is it like in October or November before the
end of the year for sure a year ending report has to be filed on and she often anybody that applies the charter has to go to the courts and the courts have to approve it and all of that so there is a process
there but to my knowledge okay that was it okay you know in actuality we should have did a moment of silence for Rosemary so we should do that now if you all are okay with that sorry so first we'll do
Rosemary's moment of silence to remember all the things remember her okay and our next problem is that blue Peak is still a black screen evidently still black screen okay well it was working last week when I looked
and I probably walked by it 50 times today and didn't even look up to see if it was was even working but the other one is we're hoping that vast is is I think it was uh blue Peak was the one that was that is blue we is but it was but it was no sound last last week right no this time they said the screen is
black screen is black so they can't see you but at least they can hear you now so we're going to have to get can they hear us I don't know I didn't she didn't say my Scout said the screen with with the power outage that I had for a while probably screwed things up a little bit yep and then we also Our IT person that
um um isn't around right now he's off right now too so we will we will work on that this week and before our next meeting again but we had them up and running so we apologize for that is it still recording though so
people can go on YouTube yep the recording will be out there you'll still have it you just won't see it live okay may anybody else have anything okay um mayor if we can this through staff reports I'm just going to be the only one that's going to have a
couple things for tonight just to put uh um a couple things on the table for you to start thinking about the first one is and if you read your your Council packet there was uh a list of all of the grants that Val has written in the last um in
the last four years along with the large one which will be about 400,000 when we do the uh um the safe routes to school she's going to have totaled in the last four years since 2020 and this next one will come in 2025 some sometime the big
one she'll have accumulated over $800,000 in monies that she's brought to the city not that we wouldn't have got some of that without her but we'd had to pay for it you know we made her fulltime and everything so um she doesn't like attention drawn to herself so that's why I brought it up now and if you get a
chance send her a note and she couldn't say anything to me by not by not doing it when she's not here to uh stick up for herself but she does a fantastic job with that and and and we ow we owe a lot to her thank you Val um next thing that
you've seen on there is something I just want to talk about a little bit so we we've mentioned it before srdc has come in and we'd like to we'd like to change the zoning of the city of Tracy we have some things that
are are wrong and so it's also $99,000 to get it fixed through ordinances through through the work the srdc would go through it'd be about 90 hours worth of work um it's it's what I'm running into right now is is we're you know a third of the
way through the budgeting process or a half way through the budgeting process there's so many so many places to put $99,000 so that's what we're kind of trying to work through now so we're probably not going to make a decision on whether we're going to let them help us do our zoning until probably at Mid
mid-september when we have a better idea of uh of what we're going to have for a budget for 2025 if that's okay with everybody I'm just we're not going to really talk about it we're going to push it off I'm going to tell Chad that uh we're not going to make any decisions on that till
later and he was all right with that wasn't it Chad was that his name yeah yeah so we'll we'll do that just put put it on delay a we are we're just going to table it for now and and keep it out there and as it need to be done you know there's nothing that's forcing us to do it it would just be nice that you know
remember like for the two new houses out on Front Street we had to go through a public hearing and we had to go through the Planning Commission to get special permission to to build those houses in a what is now an industrial Zone you know we were trying to get all those things fixed but it's it's tough figuring out
where to spend the money and where not to spend the money so we are we're we'll have a little bit better idea of that after the the August 12th meeting that we have as a group which again you will have the preliminary budget to you well
probably 10 days in advance of that okay go ahead weren't some of the things with the zoning discussed and developing the our comprehensive plan and didn't the Planning Commission kind of address some
of that they addressed some of it but it was it should have been done at the same time in fact srdc asked why didn't we do this during when we paid the you know you have to have the account plan done every 10 to 15 years so we paid a great amount of money to do that but that wasn't a part of the zoning process
now in hindsight would have possibly been cheaper to have them do it at the same time possibly but it didn't get done then and when money's tight it's it's hard to but then you start nickeling dime and having to you know put things in you know you know out there where we
have to you know start changing rules and regulations one at a time when we could have changed a lot of them all at once so we we will we'll have a better idea they couldn't do it till 25 anyway um they even if we wanted them to do it in 24 they couldn't have done it
so so I just didn't want you to be sitting out there waiting for me to um to be talking about that okay um then also I was going to bring up same thing that Seth did alohan night is this Friday night please come out and support
the uh the uh the Parks Board um we will you know we'd really like to give those that group that has worked so hard on the parks to make you know especially censor Park look so good we'd like to give them a little boost and they've already done so much and they worked so hard themselves we just want to give
them a boost with that with that some extra cash there so what locations can people go and buy tickets at beforehand um you can go to the city office here um Tom Dobson is selling them you can go up and ask for Diane and then at the liquor
store also you can buy tickets swimming pool and the swimming pool yes I'm sorry and at the swimming pool yep so they'll be swimming $15 $15 ahead a Time $20 at the door that gives you a great meal and we had a great meal last year and we'll have a great meal again this year great
entertainment and we had some very generous um businesses here in town donate for the raffle and there's karaoke this year karaoke swimming games games all the food
usually the what you can eat so does the city administrator have any veto authority over who sings karaoke I should you you were there last year you heard it h all right um mayor you can we can move
into new business now if you want please okay all right this is where our changes are going to come in the first one we have on here is resolution 202 2467 amending the city of Tracy handbook so this would be for the June 19th that would be the new holiday so we had made
the changes with the uh um with the Union on this but we didn't make the changes in the handbook so this is all this is doing is making the change if you see it if you read through your packet it just adds June 19th as a as a
holiday as a Federal holiday I'll make motion to approve resolution 2024 d67 to amend the handbook second roll call please TS hi arisu yes
yes yes shs hi land hi mayor Corman I okay next one we got on list we're going to do number three first then we'll end with the uh the task order um resolution 202 2469 approve off-site gambling permit
for Tracy Eagles Club and alohan night at the Tracy Aquatic Center for this Friday night um pretty straight and forward we had to go through the Eagles like we have every year CU we have a raffle which is considered gambling so if we could approve that that would be
perfect I'll make that a motion 20 24- 69 second roll call please Henri hi land hi
arisu yes TS hi hi Schmid yes shon hi mayor Perman hi all right the last one we got on the list for theight would be resolution 202468 task order number three bag engineering I'm going to kind of Set uh
Tom up here if you want to come up um for the uh this went through the Eda and was recommended by the Eda to go through this task order and we're going to explain it now but we're making uh tremendous amount of of uh just just our future out there is
going to have that as a housing out there but we've got you know we've got the water issues out there yet we have uh we you know we we have to plot out that whole area out there there's plenty of work that needs to be done out there and now that we've got two houses started and another lot out there that
is uh um surveyed already it's just the right time to start moving forward with uh um with plotting that whole thing that whole area out there into housing we want to be ready we'd like to put another house out there right away next
year so it's uh it's we asked Bali to come down and and talk a little bit about uh you know what they could do out there and what it would cost us for um to get everything developed out there into where we can start building at will if we need to so Tom you want to talk a
little bit about uh the the steps in this process and then the the money itself please sure so um the this a four-step plan I think you have this in your uh packet as well and
the uh first phase of this would be a survey uh we're not entirely sure where the lot lines are particularly the northernmost lot line that follows kind of the railroad tracks Direction there um there is a fence line there that's
where the existing drainage ditch terminates and does not pass through and so it does not actually drain anything and and the reason why why that was done from what I'm understanding is that they did not want to drain on to another
owner's property we're not sure whether that it looks like in looking at the County's website that our line may be farther north than what that fence line is anyway um they
already had uh got a contact from Chris that U they wanted to come down and was kind of like well what is it that you want to talk about thinking of a number of other things and uh this was what they wanted to bring up evidently Brian bolig himself had already been uh
instrumental in working or talking with the county concerning our drainage issues not only this particular site which has a drainage issue but the bigger issue on that whole southwest corner of town where two
um what uh they call it the the water shed convert and are directed onto the schools property on the southwest side of the schools property and all of that then underneath both of those
roads uh swells to the underneath the schools property and that um driveway all the way through Greentown and basically is one of our biggest issues out there and it was once again very apparent this last rain that
that's a that's a bigger ISS issue that we need to tackle so this kind of comes within this bigger part we need to know what we have out there and then the next part would be to kind of come up with a concept plan which would involve where
is that drainage going to go through the property and once we know that then we can kind of start dividing up lots and even Lots right along Front Street so no additional really um uh work to be done as far as streets and sewer and water
that but we hesitate to make any kind of lot division up and down Front Street until we know biggest issue is where the drainage is going to come through there will it come through the existing ditch and that'll get remodeled
or where um and then a part of this would be then the preliminary and final plat so until we can have a preliminary plan it's not necessary to have the final but at least a preliminary plan we
cannot really go after some both Federal and State dollars in Grants without that um what that does is that indicates to the um sources which would be our Senators and and representatives that we
are serious about this project and that we have as a council and as a city agreed to move forward with this project and then the Grant dollars uh can go through their process um they did speak
of a couple instances where um congressmen and senators were out visiting and a city and started asking questions and the council said we're really not sure about whether or not that's where it's going to be or that
we're really going to go through with this and that was the end of that so this is kind of this next step to get to a place where we not only have buildable Lots but we also have an idea of how the infrastructure is going to be supported I was getting on that list too wasn't it
Tom getting on the list um the or state and federal know how important housing is we're in a housing crunch getting call it a crunch it's a crisis um throughout the the whole country and you got to have you got to start the process to get onto a list hopefully if not the
first year get into the second year so we can get some of the infrastructure done up there as what we'd really like is to be able to be able to you know even if we had to put some of our own money in there and make that a project but if we can do a 50% match with some kind of grant program to get us a street
out there where we or a culde act that type of thing we were assured that these dollars that we're spending now we can keep track of and those would go towards any of our input so let's just say that um
you know we did apply for a grant and there there was some matching of funds if this is what you've approved we would already have 16,000 in matching funds that would count towards our contribution this isn't money that would be necessarily lost in that
process talk a little bit about the budget amendment that we put forward so where's the money coming from would be a natural question and initially the um first two parts of this um the 4,000 and
3,000 would come through the Eda uh Grant funds that we have we have only spent 1,000 of the 10 uh we don't have any applicants I I don't have any hints of an applicant for
a grant uh coming in 2024 yet and so this would uh use 7,000 of those funds uh leaving us either 1,000 or 2,000 depending upon if we went for seven or eight and then we do have uh dollars
within our housing budget as well actually deposits in our housing fund would uh handle the balance of that and the Eda realizes this is city-owned land but it would be an Eda project to build houses on the city owned
land and the city did or the uh um Eda did um vote to support the program too Tom will any of the engine engineering work that the city did after uh it acquired a Central Livestock
property what maybe 20 years ago and developed that Swale and uh I mean the drainage structures that are there now and I think there was also a preliminary plat done of showing what a residential
development on that land could look like is any of that going to be able to be usable uh yeah yeah they have uh so I contacted isg and they forwarded um to
the county a copy of uh that drainage study for that area of town um and then bolig has a copy of that as well and they do have prints of the it kind of was a artist rendition or
I guess a um a concept plan and there were probably that I've run across about six different ways of bringing either one called the sack or two call the sacks and different ways and shapes through there um one of the sources of
funds that we would go after uh comes in the form of per lot and I believe the number was $30,000 per lot for infrastructure we want to make use of as much of that as we can and and uh you
know and and with the land get as many Lots as we possibly can but also probably put in it such a way that we don't have any more infrastructure than it's necessary a great big long street that maybe connects all the way through potentially wouldn't be as necessary as
just getting the number of lots and make him the right size this was instigated by or initiated by without us asking for it we knew we know we had I talked about a little bit but it was Brian bag from from uh bag
engineering is the one that actually contacted the county and did the pre-work for us before we even got involved in it Tom when you mentioned the adjoining property owner that's affected um or
could be affected is that that are you referring to the Tracy Development Corporation that bought the old hog buying station no it would be to the north of there so there's kind of a rectang or a diamond pattern that kind of comes through there
or a triangular pattern that goes all the way over to um Fourth Street and so we're not entirely sure it's it's it's cut up rather odd and nobody exactly knows I think where those
lot lines are CU we'll know at least where ours is and where it terminates and we'll need that for the Plaid anyway yeah okay and it's just it's a problem that we have out there and whether we put houses out there or whatever we're going to do out there it's created a problem
with broken tile and and it's not flowing into our drainage ditch the way it's supposed to then it backs up and and we've had that problem for ever okay ever wow so and it's really you know you know it's not just digging a trench I
get that but it's not a lot more and and that's that's kind of what we need a little help with with the survey and figure out how we can get that moving through there quickly quicker we get it to move through I'm sorry go ahead no no go ahead the quicker we can get it to move there quicker the less problems we're going to have on the northwest end
coming from out of town across by the bus garage and the the vet clinic out there we don't want another Fiasco like we did 5 years ago we know of anybody in the area doing any dirt work this year that we could start getting some fill out there for
the third lot essentially um if that's where the third lot is going to go you know we got it surveyed but now it didn't cost us a whole lot to get it surveyed cuz we were going to do the other two and we kind of got the the discount rate but now where is the drainage ditch where do we put it
through there is what we need to find out right now but you know Pro I guess I'd have to ask Shane what kind of projects that we've got going going on that that get some dirt somebody within 20 mil and they're hauling the dirt 40 miles it's like well stock ping yeah
we'll take some I'm wondering if we won't accumulate some dirt at the airport project oh could be that too some of that I'm sure it wasn't pretty exciting for us to know that that the two lots that were putting houses on with all the rain we've had they they
stayed dry so but yeah there'll probably be some think there' be some excavation yeah we'll have some in that Second Street project too you know digging that basement out we won't use all of that for filling back in so we'll be taking
some of that out there yeah we'll we'll keep Shan we might as well take what we can get absolutely yeah we'll need some for filling in the hole across the the street too over at the liquor store is that started yet the liquor
store project yeah well no it hasn't started yet no no any other questions anybody have anything else before we vote on that do you want a um
motion I would that okay I would um offer a motion that we pass resolution number 20 24- 68 approving task order number three with buing
engineering first and second last time for any other questions all right roll call please shon hi land hii yes T hi Henri hiu yes mayor cor
hi did you have something that you wanted to um no you're just saying making sure we behave thought there was going to be trouble tonight no sure you don't want to come up and pause trouble talk about this weekend
okay this weekend all good all right motion all right second all those in favor I oppos motion carries good to see on
