WEBVTT 00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:14.280 The meeting is going to resume to the executive session. 00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:17.160 No action was taken in the executive session. 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:24.420 7.0 is the Department of Reports, Christina, if you would like to start us off with Ann, Nicole. 00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:32.120 For our cat intakes, we had 11 total intakes, 5 were surrenders, 3 were city strays, 3 were 00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:38.680 County strays. Out of those cats, six were transferred to rescue. Four are available for 00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:47.520 adoption and one is on hold. We're doing some more socialization with her. Dog intakes, we took 13 dogs, 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:55.260 nine county strays, which is the mom and seven puppies that were abandoned, five city strays, 00:00:55.260 --> 00:01:24.600 13 are up for adoption we had zero reclaims and zero went to rescue our current animal inventory cats we have seven adoptable one on hold adoptable dogs we have 21 with two and foster we have the two Jessica Jones court case dogs and for the court updates they're actually both on the same day Jessica Jones 00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:49.860 and Andrew Price are on 4-9-26 at 1, courtroom 1. Dr. Connie and I are supposed to be served for Jessica Jones's. Andrew, we're not getting served for that one. Other information, Chase, one of our longest dogs that we've had, was adopted. He's been with us since 9-10-25. 00:01:49.860 --> 00:02:19.560 The website has been updated thanks to Kelsey assisting me with that. We did three different pages updates. I reached out to the fire inspector and the building inspector. The certificate has been done. The fire department will do their inspection on next Friday, 3-20 at 11, but the certificate's been signed off of. 00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:28.460 and should be emailed to us tomorrow. I do have a few people that we will be hopefully interviewing 00:02:28.460 --> 00:02:36.520 next week for the part-time job. And then the ending funds include the deposit that was received 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:47.520 and or money that was received in February but deposited in early March. The February weekly 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:55.500 stuff. The highlighted yellow is what was not on the link due to the fact I just got new votes yesterday. 00:02:55.880 --> 00:03:08.460 So I added that on your guys' copies. Planes-wise, it's the normal stuff. We did need more microchips 00:03:08.460 --> 00:03:38.440 and our shelter boss our program we use for the tags needed their updates and I am looking into a different microchip company that will be way cheaper for us and actually I like the chips better so hopefully we can lower that price the chips are like under $3 a piece where these are costing like $5 a piece. 00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:46.420 piece, I think. So we'll be able to save and the owners can actually scan a QR code and register their 00:03:46.420 --> 00:03:53.020 dog right away where these chips we use are registered technically come back animal control and then they 00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:58.580 have to pay a fee to register where this is all included in the payment they give us. 00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:01.560 That's the Avid? 00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:04.560 The Avid is the one we use right now. 00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:06.140 Okay, but that's the microchip. 00:04:06.260 --> 00:04:09.800 That's the microchip, yeah. So that's what we use right now. And right now, 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:19.260 They just come back to animal control and then we give them the information or they have to register them separately where the new ones are called FI, F-I. 00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:28.280 They're cheaper and they actually have a little card with them that you scan the QR code and it pops up the registration and then you register your dog. 00:04:28.760 --> 00:04:33.020 So I think it will it will help. We won't have to worry about talking. 00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:37.580 You know, if somebody picks up the dog, they can just call the actual owner. 00:04:37.580 --> 00:04:49.640 And then I printed off the list of the Metals Drive donations, including the GoFundMe. 00:04:51.780 --> 00:04:53.980 I think we have a few more coming in. 00:04:54.780 --> 00:04:56.340 Any questions so far? 00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:05.720 And then the last one is the revenues and expense report. 00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:13.600 And we really haven't had any dogs reclaimed, so that one's... 00:05:17.020 --> 00:05:19.140 Yeah, nobody's getting reclaimed. 00:05:20.580 --> 00:05:20.940 I don't think. 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:32.020 Kirsten, the Meadows donations, have all these, all those people been thanked for the generator? 00:05:33.700 --> 00:05:40.980 Other than the GoFundMe, well, the GoFundMe have been thanked through, you can click on it and thank them that way. 00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:45.460 I'm trying to figure out if there's any way I can email them a thank you also, 00:05:45.460 --> 00:05:50.440 but everybody else has been sent a thank you or current on that. 00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:56.360 I actually have some free stuff ready to go so I can just print a label and send it as soon as we get it. 00:05:57.620 --> 00:06:00.580 I worked on that last week or two months ago. 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:01.120 That's great. 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.680 And your website is a much improved thank you. 00:06:06.020 --> 00:06:07.020 Thanks to Kelsey. 00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:13.500 Because Nate, I gave him the letter and he just did the link where I know you wanted more. 00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:20.820 so Pelsy owed me a favor so she was willing to help me because I'm not a computer website person. 00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:22.460 It's much more welcoming. 00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:23.620 Yes, I agree. 00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:24.920 It was very nice. 00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:25.940 She did very good. 00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:28.500 Very, I like it. 00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:29.180 I'm proud of that. 00:06:29.320 --> 00:06:29.500 Yes. 00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:36.320 What's the plan for the funding and the donation drive going forward? 00:06:36.740 --> 00:06:37.360 What do you see? 00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:38.540 What are you planning on doing? 00:06:38.840 --> 00:06:41.900 So I also, I guess I didn't put it on my report. 00:06:41.900 --> 00:07:10.120 I did a the free podcast. I did that a few weeks ago and I also was on big radio a few weeks ago also. So that should be the interview should be out there. I'm gonna try to do like a like a weekly update on Facebook. I like to go to Lena Brewery again and kind of push it on at there too. It's been a little rough lately. 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:18.760 She had a lot to do I don't have my mom currently at the office my grandma came back from Tennessee so 00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:29.080 it's been a lot in the office so hopefully it gets better any questions from the thing the free pod is 00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:38.280 that is it at one of their their separate interviews I think so I think it will be oh you have it it hasn't 00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:47.280 I haven't seen it, I've looked today to see if it was on it, I haven't seen it on yet, but yeah, I think it's going to be a separate one 00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:49.960 And the big radio, Ann, how is that? 00:07:49.960 --> 00:07:55.540 I think the big radio was an interview over the phone, so I don't know, it could be playing right now 00:07:55.540 --> 00:07:59.600 I don't really listen to the radio 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:05.500 And they didn't give you details when you did either of these? 00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:35.180 no and and I know I mean I know in the heat of the moment of you're being a celebrity you neglected to ask no that was celebrity hate interviews happy was the one over the phone but yeah and you know right you forget my little details absolutely I want to listen to it yeah I want to hear it I'm at one site like I said I was on three pod 00:08:35.180 --> 00:09:04.660 this morning, and I didn't see it up yet. Okay. So I'm assuming, I mean, she took a picture, so I'm assuming it's going to be like the other ones that are the picture of the person and then the interview. Okay. Okay. Well, that's good, though. You know, that's not your thing. It is not. It brings me back to the hoarding situations where I was just bathing dogs and they did an interview for TB. I'm like, thanks. I look great. 00:09:05.180 --> 00:09:12.520 Give us an update on the Meadows Drive build-out. Where are you at? Where do you get to go? 00:09:12.520 --> 00:09:32.760 So basically, once we get dog kennels, we can move in. That's what we need. Everything else, they're working on figuring out the best place for the mop sink. The place they were originally in, but it's not going to work. 00:09:32.760 --> 00:10:00.000 so they're gonna probably put it in a different area but it's still not gonna cost us anything the owners are gonna do it so it's just finding the right that whole place is you have to pump the water up and they don't want it I don't know where they were gonna put it wasn't gonna work it wasn't big enough area so they have a second location which they are gonna put it now which will still be a common area 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:28.130 which will still be a common area so do you have any animals there now no no I pulled the puppies out Friday after the meeting so but we're good to go the the fire inspectors was the last person I needed to sign the paper and he signed it and then he's like I just want to walk through it you're good to go but I'd like to walk through it because it's been empty for over two years sure I met we have 00:10:28.130 --> 00:10:45.990 had nothing to hide. Stingures were just replaced, and smoke alarms all work. And all the exits are clear, so it's handicapped, accessible, and all that. So I set that up for the 20th, so he's going to come at 11. 00:10:45.990 --> 00:11:00.410 Chair of your house has mentioned there were say around 30 animals were taken right now. 00:11:01.410 --> 00:11:02.810 Yeah, probably. 00:11:02.810 --> 00:11:09.650 What's your capacity? And what I mean by that is, I guess, at what point do you have to refuse? 00:11:10.170 --> 00:11:11.550 Oh, we've already refused. 00:11:11.550 --> 00:11:12.230 city dogs. 00:11:12.230 --> 00:11:13.110 We have drop-offs. 00:11:13.350 --> 00:11:14.490 And I don't know how it works. 00:11:14.650 --> 00:11:21.690 So maybe the mayor told me a lot of times people will just take them and literally leave them at the door. 00:11:21.790 --> 00:11:27.670 We really don't get that a lot. 00:11:27.670 --> 00:11:32.830 I mean, we have had at the animal hospital people dropping off the cats and that, but we really don't get it. 00:11:32.950 --> 00:11:36.090 Because I don't know if it's our location or what. 00:11:36.090 --> 00:11:47.050 We get a once in a while we'll get the cats dumped, but not want to put this out there. Nobody's throwing a dog over the fence or anything like that. So please don't. 00:11:48.050 --> 00:11:56.690 So what would your currency be? If you get all the kennels you're looking for, how many animals can you safely and effectively house? 00:11:56.690 --> 00:11:58.770 I mean, it all depends 00:11:58.770 --> 00:12:32.550 It all depends on the size of the dogs, too, because if it's a litter of puppies, multiple puppies can be put, I would say probably 20 dogs tops, if they're smaller, little dogs, puppies, and I meant, honestly, 25 to, I meant cats, you can fit two cats in the cage. 00:12:32.550 --> 00:13:02.550 it all depends on resources and that too so 40 50 yeah I would say probably 40 cats I meant I would never want to have that many so 40 cats alone and then us we probably could do 20 dogs if they can be kind of yeah but I unless their puppies are smaller dogs I don't like kind of dogs together so you're looking at maybe 15 dogs I meant puppies are different they're 00:13:02.550 --> 00:13:17.790 puppies. The smaller dogs are different. I won't put two dogs over six months old together. I don't want a risk of fighting over. And cats, you can kind of tell if a cat's going to get along or if not. 00:13:18.630 --> 00:13:21.630 Are you open to have an open house? Invite the public? 00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:22.270 Absolutely. 00:13:22.510 --> 00:13:23.590 After you get up and going? 00:13:23.590 --> 00:13:27.370 Yes. That's a big goal of mine. I would like to have a big open house. 00:13:29.170 --> 00:13:29.570 Thank you. 00:13:31.910 --> 00:13:33.490 You have it in time for Mother's Day. 00:13:34.090 --> 00:13:41.390 Seriously, right, you know, the biggest, so, um, security cameras 00:13:41.390 --> 00:14:05.450 So, um, the guy that, um, gave me a quote, I think we'll do outside with him, but I think just the regular blink cameras will be enough inside, which I already have, but I think outside we want more detailed cameras to get license plates and any movement 00:14:05.750 --> 00:14:35.730 so yeah because you're not going to have the gate to be able to close the driveway that's why I want more detail outside because he says that he can get it where he was telling me how it worked like he would go out and actually walk so it would recognize a person and drive and recognize a car type thing so that we definitely would want outside inside I meant we're going to get them outside and then the inside one is just the 00:14:35.730 --> 00:14:41.490 blink or the ring cameras will be plenty. I mean, my blink cameras at home would be plenty for inside 00:14:41.490 --> 00:14:45.770 because we're only going to have them to see, okay, the dog got out of this kennel, somebody probably 00:14:45.770 --> 00:14:51.890 should go put them back in type thing. It's not, and it will, I mean, it will see a person if they 00:14:51.890 --> 00:15:01.630 break in too, but I think the blink cameras are plenty for inside. And the outdoor pens, I drove up 00:15:01.630 --> 00:15:05.990 I've been there the other day, and the outdoor pens look like they need to be reseated. 00:15:06.510 --> 00:15:06.830 Is it? 00:15:07.590 --> 00:15:11.270 Yes, it's like grab grass. 00:15:11.650 --> 00:15:12.130 Yeah. 00:15:12.750 --> 00:15:13.470 Or mud. 00:15:13.870 --> 00:15:15.730 Yeah, well, yeah, mud right now. 00:15:15.850 --> 00:15:21.130 But yeah, it's, yeah, they'll have to be, I meant they're going to be mud no matter what, 00:15:21.130 --> 00:15:24.870 because I meant my front yard's mud with my five dogs, so. 00:15:26.130 --> 00:15:28.110 Is that something you could do? 00:15:28.250 --> 00:15:31.610 Is that something we can just throw some grass seed and help it grow? 00:15:31.630 --> 00:15:33.970 or else when the spring takes off here next month? 00:15:34.130 --> 00:15:34.290 Yeah. 00:15:36.650 --> 00:15:38.710 Why not look into some artificial stuff? 00:15:38.710 --> 00:15:40.270 Well, that's what I was thinking, too. 00:15:40.810 --> 00:15:43.070 This turf, at least a few of the yards. 00:15:43.870 --> 00:15:45.210 I meant the ones that are there. 00:15:45.470 --> 00:15:47.290 That's a pretty good size area. 00:15:47.590 --> 00:15:48.090 How is it? 00:15:48.590 --> 00:15:51.070 The two that are out there, the one is bigger than the other. 00:15:51.550 --> 00:15:51.990 Yeah. 00:15:52.510 --> 00:15:54.310 Do you know how big? 00:15:54.310 --> 00:15:55.870 I've never measured them. 00:15:55.990 --> 00:15:56.950 Size of this room? 00:15:57.390 --> 00:16:00.450 The ones probably, yeah, they're big. 00:16:00.570 --> 00:16:01.050 Never mind. 00:16:01.050 --> 00:16:20.730 Yeah, I'm already looking to coats for my yard, so yeah, we can throw some seed and see if it, like I said, it was just, I mowed it last year, and it was, it's just pits, weeds, it's not even grass 00:16:20.730 --> 00:16:21.850 It's a cow pasture 00:16:21.850 --> 00:16:26.830 Yeah, pretty much is, it's, yeah, it's like crabgrass and I don't even know 00:16:26.830 --> 00:16:27.670 It's a cow pasture 00:16:27.670 --> 00:16:29.750 Yeah, it's, yeah, it's not pretty 00:16:29.750 --> 00:16:35.050 But yeah, we can do that. Absolutely. Anybody else have a question for Christian? 00:16:35.950 --> 00:16:41.030 And Juan, looking at the registrations, if I'm looking at this correctly, you should look like 00:16:41.030 --> 00:16:46.750 January was up over, or excuse me, February was up over January at $79.95? 00:16:48.190 --> 00:16:48.670 Yep. 00:16:48.970 --> 00:16:55.490 Okay. I guess my question is, are we pretty much on track? We got everything set out, supposed to be 00:16:55.490 --> 00:17:22.350 sent out? Yep. Okay. And I'm actually getting, March is looking really good already. While I was sitting here, I had five come in from, the online has really helped. Okay. Especially for the vets that don't issue our tags, the online. And then I was sending out, like, let's say the certificates I get from the vets this week that didn't get a tag. 00:17:22.350 --> 00:17:51.630 I was waiting like a week to send it out in case they did do online now I'm just sending it out right away if we lose a stamp in case we lose a stamp that way they're like reminded right away so they don't have three weeks out it's right yeah hopefully the mail gets there and it's only a week gap on top of that because yes looks like our main revenue source here so yeah thank you are you able to keep the email addresses that come with those yes yes 00:17:51.630 --> 00:18:20.630 any of the online I've been entering their email right into the program can we get the email from the people who use the vet clinic that's not as easy that's not as easy but I was thinking about talking to the vets to see once if they would because a lot like I know Paws and Claws personally has my email and they email reminders out so I can talk to them and see once if they wouldn't mind writing it on certificates 00:18:21.630 --> 00:18:27.350 I don't expect a free fall in postage rates anytime soon 00:18:27.350 --> 00:18:28.790 No, no 00:18:28.790 --> 00:18:35.990 I know the animal hospital probably wouldn't be able to do that if they were in the hospital 00:18:35.990 --> 00:18:43.950 It's too chaotic there during their walk-in hours that that would be probably over the top for them 00:18:43.950 --> 00:18:47.390 But the other vets I'm sure would do it 00:18:47.390 --> 00:18:51.420 Anybody else? 00:18:53.580 --> 00:18:54.580 Thank you. 00:18:54.580 --> 00:18:55.580 Thank you. 00:18:55.580 --> 00:19:01.580 Next is the highway department 7.2. 00:19:01.580 --> 00:19:11.580 Pretty much the last month we haven't had any weather really so it's been cutting brush 00:19:11.580 --> 00:19:20.080 and two safety meetings one was a flagger meeting for everyone and the other one was a locate 00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:25.320 8-1-1, Julie, Locate type meeting, safety meeting that we go to every year. 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:36.780 A lot of equipment maintenance over the past month, getting everything ready for spring and looking on some of that stuff. 00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:38.720 So that's been about it. 00:19:43.830 --> 00:19:45.670 Where are we at with our soft contract? 00:19:46.630 --> 00:19:51.270 We've only gotten in about half of what we have to. 00:19:51.270 --> 00:19:57.910 We have to take 1,200 ton, we have 00:19:57.910 --> 00:20:04.000 take 1,200 ton. We have taken in 600. And my inclination, we have to take it before October. 00:20:04.820 --> 00:20:13.320 But I would prefer to wait until probably September, October-ish to get it back in for fear. 00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:21.620 You get it in, you stockpile it in our buildings, you get a bad storm, rips the tarp off, now you've 00:20:21.620 --> 00:20:26.320 Yeah, let's solve. At least if they're storing it for the summer, it's their problem. 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.680 Because of my next question, we have a place for 600 tons. 00:20:30.820 --> 00:20:38.180 Yes. Yeah, that won't be a problem. Yep. So we might even get rid of some this weekend. Who knows? 00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:38.800 Stop it. 00:20:40.380 --> 00:20:41.180 I can't. 00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:42.800 I can't. 00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:43.260 You sell something. 00:20:43.780 --> 00:20:44.420 I think it's ever. 00:20:45.280 --> 00:20:46.120 It's like your time. 00:20:47.260 --> 00:20:51.100 But yeah, we have plenty of room for what we have to take. 00:20:51.620 --> 00:21:21.980 so it's not a problem and I like the stop sign at Florence Road in Bolton so very nice. Yeah, it's kind of a trial we're trying to see if we can stop people from blowing that stop sign because it's been a problem in the past. You probably know that being down there. Yeah, I've seen plenty of people blow through that stop sign and 00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:25.800 and some dangerous accidents. 00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:27.480 What have you got there? 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.540 I haven't driven that way. 00:21:30.860 --> 00:21:35.140 It's just an intersection in the middle of nowhere that's wide open, and you should see it 00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:36.540 and watch three miles out. 00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:40.220 People blow through the stop sign after time. 00:21:40.540 --> 00:21:41.940 So what's he got out there now? 00:21:42.580 --> 00:21:45.780 The stop signs with the LEDs around and outside of it. 00:21:45.780 --> 00:21:46.360 Oh, I see. 00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:46.620 Okay. 00:21:46.620 --> 00:21:49.300 Yeah, I mean, it's different gadgets. 00:21:49.620 --> 00:21:51.660 Yeah, we used their solar... 00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:56.320 Um, but we used to have just the flashing red light on top of it. 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.080 Well, it doesn't seem to grab people's attention. 00:22:00.080 --> 00:22:01.840 Like, I'm hoping this does. 00:22:02.340 --> 00:22:03.640 So, we'll see. 00:22:04.760 --> 00:22:10.480 They're not cheap, but if it saves somebody's life, that's well worth it. 00:22:10.540 --> 00:22:10.840 Exactly. 00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:11.520 You know. 00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:15.020 Did you ever do anything with your radios? 00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:19.740 I haven't done anything more yet as far as ordering more. 00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:49.500 We have four of them, and that's, I was just going to probably try them through the summer, make sure everything is good, and then, because they're a renewal every year, so I figure if we wait until they come renewal, if we can get the rest then, sure, and we're towards the end of a budget year then, so if things don't look good then, it's easier to spend it at the end of the budget year than wish you hadn't at the beginning. 00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:59.060 are so great. So, any other questions from the committee? Thank you. 00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:06.640 The Highway Department update in front of you. I've highlighted anything that's changed since our last 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:13.680 meeting. The final plans for the Orangeville Cold Place Recycling have been submitted. Everything's 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:41.520 on board for our April 24th state letting, Cityville Road, we executed the joint agreements last month, it needs to be approved by the state, then we can go to the April 7th letting, I'm hoping there'll be no problem with that, should be, I mean, just wait for them to approve it, so they're wanting to spend that, we got 00:23:41.520 --> 00:24:11.440 got a local project funding for that for 100%. So they're wanting to spend the money. So as soon as they approve it, we can go to letting. I've got a lot of things put up on that April 7th letting. Dakota Road was locally funded, and that's on that April letting. West Point Redwood Crossing, I've been working, we have turning final plans last week, work with the ICC about some changes to the plans. 00:24:11.520 --> 00:24:34.440 and that's set up for May 5th letting. West Point Bridge that's ready to go and are approved and that's ready for April 7th letting. Item F, that's just down the road. It's under design for another West Point job. We have to wait for the first one to get done because they're both on Shippey Road. 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:43.360 The seal code on Orangeville Road, final plan has been approved, that will be on that April 7th relating also 00:24:43.360 --> 00:24:49.900 McConnell Road intersection, I got an update from Fairgram 00:24:49.900 --> 00:24:57.800 a week or so ago and it's in there too to finish with final plans on that 00:24:57.800 --> 00:25:04.000 but I don't know when we'll go relating on that until we have to get the final plans 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.300 into IDOT in their approval. 00:25:06.300 --> 00:25:23.290 So I'm hoping maybe second quarter, so HSIP project, that's all federal funding. 00:25:23.650 --> 00:25:30.050 The engineering agreement is in for approval and it's been waiting. 00:25:30.710 --> 00:25:35.290 So things are coming very slow out of Springfield. 00:25:35.890 --> 00:25:41.170 The Bone Road Overpass Project, that's underdesigned. 00:25:44.770 --> 00:25:49.850 I'm not sure if I told you the latest on Alan when he's retiring. 00:25:50.050 --> 00:25:53.810 It's supposed to be in the middle of next month, but we will be able to get money. 00:25:55.050 --> 00:25:59.690 He'll be retiring with Will Hoffman and work for Will Hoffman over the summer. 00:26:00.330 --> 00:26:05.470 His work during the winter is now being taken care of by IDOT. 00:26:05.890 --> 00:26:30.310 He did all bridge inspections. So Ida is doing those so we can get by this summer, next summer, but we will need to replace them by next year. So that'll be about the same time that Steve, our assistant county engineer, will be retiring. So we will have to do something within a few months. 00:26:30.310 --> 00:26:58.830 So, Spring Grove postings, they're going down tomorrow. So, consistent with Winnebago County, Boone County, Ogle County, is that it? And Lee, Carroll. Lee County? Okay. Lee County, I believe. Okay. Carroll never posted any. Or did they? So, the townships did that are near us, but the county never did. 00:26:58.830 --> 00:27:00.570 It seems a little strange to them. 00:27:01.990 --> 00:27:08.890 Another thing that came up today, it wasn't anything on the agenda, but we got a road use agreement from ComEd. 00:27:08.890 --> 00:27:18.970 I sent that to Carl Larson. He responded back on Monday. We sent his concerns about the agreement to ComEd, 00:27:19.070 --> 00:27:27.790 they addressed those concerns, and we got that from them today. So it'll go on the agenda for the county board meeting next week. 00:27:27.790 --> 00:27:38.280 Any questions? I think it was on E, Dale, you were talking about Shippy Road. 00:27:39.080 --> 00:27:39.420 Yes. 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:43.480 Can you give me a little bit of detail on what's going on with Shippy Road? 00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:54.560 Okay, Shippy Road comes from Allegro over and go down. There's a bridge on the north part of that that we'll be replacing. 00:27:54.560 --> 00:28:02.720 and then another one is like two or three miles south of there that is also scheduled for replacement. 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:13.780 So I'm hoping to attract, get the leadies close enough together that one contractor will just move from one, go to the other one, but I can't let them at the same time. 00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:21.320 So I've got it in the inspection provision for the second bridge that you can't start in this one until the first bridge is open. 00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.640 All right. I'm just curious. Thank you. 00:28:23.760 --> 00:28:23.900 Sure. 00:28:28.470 --> 00:28:32.510 Mr. Newton, are you still considering a five-year contract extension? 00:28:34.550 --> 00:28:35.050 I'm sorry. 00:28:38.050 --> 00:28:39.750 Yeah, that's supposed to be inciting. 00:28:42.750 --> 00:28:46.030 Two years, too much. 00:28:47.610 --> 00:28:48.930 Can we make it at three? 00:28:49.410 --> 00:28:50.230 It's fine, guys. 00:28:50.530 --> 00:28:51.030 No, no, no. 00:28:53.130 --> 00:28:53.750 It's worth it. 00:28:54.510 --> 00:28:56.790 The 70s are hitting me really hard. 00:28:58.470 --> 00:29:11.340 Thank you. Moving on to 7.3, which is the current budget debt status. Do you have Brian's report now? 00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:17.900 No, I wasn't able to talk to Brian before. He was off today, and so I wasn't able to talk to him. 00:29:18.040 --> 00:29:28.200 I went through the report. I didn't see any red flags at all. So there were a few minor things that were over budget this time, but there's minor things. 00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:54.800 So that's early. Yeah, I didn't see the red flags at all. Any questions? Okay, thank you. Moving on to old business. We don't have any old business for tonight. A new business is 9.1 HD 2605, the approval of four. We've got earnest air conditioning units. We have a little bitter with locher. 00:29:54.800 --> 00:30:01.580 was Loesher. There were four bidders in it. I think they should be in their packet. Low bidder 00:30:01.580 --> 00:30:12.380 was $51,000 with rebates. The cost of the county is $30,760. And I recommend going with Loesher 00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:15.740 for the replacement of the heating and air conditioning. 00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:25.180 I had a question on that one. On that second page of that thing, the common rebates were 00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:27.280 are only listed under the one vendor. 00:30:28.300 --> 00:30:31.580 Do the other vendors also get those rebates? 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:33.040 Can we buy it from you? 00:30:34.340 --> 00:30:35.820 That's an answer I can't give you. 00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:36.220 I don't know. 00:30:36.340 --> 00:30:45.820 Okay, because the one on the way far right seems it would be much lower if the comment rebates were in play. 00:30:46.040 --> 00:30:47.000 So that's what I'm asking. 00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:50.120 So, okay. 00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:50.700 Don't know. 00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:52.120 Sorry, we worked on that, Brian. 00:30:52.320 --> 00:30:52.960 Yeah, Brian did. 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:53.200 Okay. 00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:57.200 Okay. All right. I'm just curious. Okay. 00:30:58.360 --> 00:31:01.020 You made it through the heating out. It's the air finish. 00:31:03.020 --> 00:31:09.700 We haven't made the air on yet, so I don't know what's going to happen there. 00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:21.460 But we had a significant problem with the heating this winter. So anywhere from 62 degrees up to 85. 00:31:21.460 --> 00:31:27.140 And wasn't it that one was completely shot, one or two were here? 00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:29.820 One is, I think, is still shot, and the other ones are covered in it. 00:31:32.760 --> 00:31:35.380 Lushers is obviously local. 00:31:35.780 --> 00:31:36.940 Who is champion? 00:31:38.800 --> 00:31:45.560 He's a, I believe he's from down in the Laner area, I believe. 00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:48.700 I think he's from down in Carroll County. 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.160 I have heard of him down in that area. 00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:51.900 Okay. 00:31:53.660 --> 00:31:59.100 I think they all had come and climbed up our rope to take a look at it. 00:31:59.340 --> 00:31:59.620 Right. 00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:05.340 Well, the only thing I was, Larry brought up a point, I'm just wondering if we need to make 00:32:05.340 --> 00:32:13.640 a decision on this tonight to check out if those rebates could be applied to the champions. 00:32:15.540 --> 00:32:16.540 That's my question. 00:32:16.540 --> 00:32:18.440 That was my question, too. 00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:24.420 You can check with ComEd, but you shouldn't be checking with the vendors. They've supplied you quotes. That's what you should be considering. 00:32:25.080 --> 00:32:25.380 Okay. 00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:27.480 Otherwise, you're bid tampering. 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:35.080 Can we talk to Brian? Check with ComEd, not with vendors. 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:37.760 Brian can check with ComEd, yes. 00:32:38.760 --> 00:32:42.720 Without an RFP, you've got responses to the RFP. That's what your disposal can says. 00:32:43.300 --> 00:32:47.940 You can wait to make a decision after you talk to ComEd, who's supplying the rebates. 00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:52.540 But you can't go back to a bidder once everybody's applied. 00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:53.940 So we need to have to check with Combin. 00:32:54.940 --> 00:33:02.120 If the rebates were part of the other bids, why wouldn't they be listed? 00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:04.720 I guess that's my pushback. 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:05.600 That's all. 00:33:06.360 --> 00:33:09.160 I'll talk to Brian. 00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:15.140 He's off tomorrow, too, so he'll be back in Monday, so we'll get an answer to him. 00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:17.420 I guess we'll push it out 30 days. 00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:50.350 Tommy? Push it out 30 days. Okay. We'll approve something tonight. Okay. I mean, yeah, and I don't... Let me try to... Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if, like, it sounds like they have an agreement. I'll just call him and see. He was a few minutes ago. Yeah. My gut would be to just trust the members as they lay and approve something tonight, but yeah, if we can get his input.

You just turn the bulls out, feed them, and turn them back in so it will save time. I don't know, this is my first one. 00:37:45.200 --> 00:37:51.760 The kennel won't really roll because you're going to have the PVC lines in the back that are going to be... 00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.200 No, they'll still be able to roll. 00:37:53.420 --> 00:37:54.080 They will be able to roll. 00:37:54.080 --> 00:37:54.460 Yes. 00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:55.000 Yep. 00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:56.100 Yep. 00:37:57.080 --> 00:37:57.880 With them connected. 00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:02.540 Well, the shot back will be unplugged, so then you can roll them. 00:38:03.720 --> 00:38:06.280 But you'd have to move them all, whatever they're hooked. 00:38:06.300 --> 00:38:07.220 They're hooked. 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:09.860 So we're looking for ones that are like three stall. 00:38:10.020 --> 00:38:11.580 So you'll move like three at a time. 00:38:11.660 --> 00:38:12.440 You won't be able to move. 00:38:13.200 --> 00:38:15.140 And this is enough for 11 dogs. 00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:19.140 This is enough for... 00:38:19.140 --> 00:38:36.920 12, 13. And then we have one, we have one, there is one that's going to be donated to the building that we can also use. 00:38:39.040 --> 00:38:49.900 A dog trainer in Lena is donating a double one. The more expensive one that I like for aggressive dogs, he's donating that. 00:38:49.900 --> 00:39:19.030 so that will add two more petals technically if it's aggressive dog we'll use both sides so we can move them safely but if it's we don't have aggressive dog you can secure the doggy door and then you can use both sides. Any questions from the committee? So I see the delivery is May 13th. Does that mean they'd be ready on like the 14th or how long is the installation? 00:39:19.030 --> 00:39:50.300 so what I've been reading on all the sites is it usually takes like five to six weeks delivery okay so I just put that date but but and then once they are delivered is it like ready to go yeah I cannot it's a symbol so I'm very good at XM1 panels I don't see any proposal for the cats 00:39:50.300 --> 00:39:54.000 The cat cages are under what I would need 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:55.680 The cat pages are under what I would need to do in our B4. 00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:56.800 I see. 00:39:57.340 --> 00:40:02.700 And we actually got some cat pages already, so we don't need as many. 00:40:03.220 --> 00:40:03.460 Okay. 00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:04.340 So, yeah. 00:40:04.560 --> 00:40:07.240 Are you planning a cat condo of a room? 00:40:10.900 --> 00:40:12.100 My Mr. George. 00:40:15.020 --> 00:40:16.260 They have a room. 00:40:16.420 --> 00:40:17.860 They're not going to be loose in the room. 00:40:17.860 --> 00:40:41.260 While you're cleaning, they can be loose, but I'm not one for the big open areas because if you have a disease go through, then all the cats are interacting and then it spreads really easy. They had to go through Friends Forever and a bunch of the other shelters that do the open areas and they can get out and play when you're cleaning, but I rather eat them. 00:40:41.260 --> 00:40:48.500 I suspect that the nicest thing about these kennels are the vaults floor underneath of them and the buildings washed down. 00:40:48.680 --> 00:40:49.020 Yes. 00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.240 Because the room does not have a drain to it. 00:40:53.520 --> 00:40:55.660 So we have an issue there. 00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:57.720 And that's what alleviates some of this. 00:40:57.820 --> 00:40:58.120 Yes. 00:40:58.780 --> 00:41:03.380 That's our main goal is to find one that we can clean and vacuum out. 00:41:04.060 --> 00:41:05.560 Any other questions from the committee? 00:41:08.640 --> 00:41:09.720 It's a pleasure. 00:41:09.720 --> 00:41:19.720 Chair. Move approval. Move and seconded. Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say aye. 00:41:19.720 --> 00:41:21.720 Aye. Motion is approved. 00:41:21.720 --> 00:41:24.280 Give me some money about how to post it. 00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:29.720 Right on to comments from committee members. Anybody would like to have a word? 00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:34.440 No. Do I have a motion to adjourn? 00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:36.600 Motion to adjourn. 00:41:36.600 --> 00:41:42.200 second, all of them in favor, thank you everyone for their time tonight.
