WEBVTT

00:00:22.580 --> 00:01:07.880
Yeah, vote to leave executive session, no action was taken during that time. Pick up where we left off, which is 6.2, the highway. Want me to go first? Yeah, please. The last month, we, there was a couple times we plowed and spread the roads, it was real light snow, not a whole lot, and then most of it's been, we've been cutting a lot of brush, and

00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:14.760
If you recall, we got that new boom mower last year, that's worked out real well, we've been

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:21.340
done a lot of smaller stuff with that, so, and we've been working on Orangeville Road, because

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:28.020
that gets redone this summer, so, we're cutting everything from fence to fence, clearing everything

00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:35.900
that we can, so, all the way in Burnham, so, fixed a few potholes, it's been so cold that

00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:37.060
they don't.

00:01:37.880 --> 00:02:08.610
father a lot. So other than that, that's about done brush mostly. I haven't been up north on 26, but you've been able to kind of tidy up our little corner up there a little bit. Yeah, we got all the guardrail cleaned up. We were burning the brush pile there. We've got some big stumps that we tore off. So we've been trying to, we keep burning a little bit, but those houses are close there. So I only burn one. There's a west

00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:23.450
South or East Wind, but mostly, mostly West or South because I don't want this stuff going in their houses. So I try to be good to them about that. I don't, I wouldn't want to sit there and read smoke all that long.

00:02:23.450 --> 00:02:35.450
Yeah, so yeah, there's not, there's not a whole lot left there. There's a little bit, there's a pile of stuff that I, I want to get out of there, but it's froze. So when it thaws out, we'll get that.

00:02:35.450 --> 00:02:46.290
and it's mainly dirt, rocks, and I wouldn't say garbage, but like just stuff from when we tore a building down as a corner.

00:02:46.810 --> 00:02:51.210
They had like, I would say like drywall piled up in an area there.

00:02:51.630 --> 00:02:55.390
Not a lot, but enough that it kind of mixes in with dirt.

00:02:55.570 --> 00:02:58.090
You don't notice it, but you got to get it out of there.

00:02:58.470 --> 00:03:01.170
So other than that, there's not a whole lot there.

00:03:03.370 --> 00:03:05.050
Any questions for Scott?

00:03:05.450 --> 00:03:07.650
Thank you, sir.

00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:10.730
Okay, you get the highway update in front of you.

00:03:11.230 --> 00:03:18.090
I plan on having a super letting on March 3rd, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th project.

00:03:18.210 --> 00:03:23.470
We're going to be letting March 3rd, but I don't have final approval on three of the projects from the IDOT yet.

00:03:23.470 --> 00:03:26.350
So our super letting is going to have to be delayed about a month.

00:03:26.550 --> 00:03:30.430
So I think I've got it set up for April 6th, I think.

00:03:32.350 --> 00:03:35.350
And it wasn't all IDOTs, but one took a while to get out.

00:03:35.450 --> 00:03:38.210
right away cleared from one of the highway commissioners.

00:03:38.750 --> 00:03:46.110
And the other one, well, the joint agreement that's on the agenda, that has to be approved

00:03:46.110 --> 00:03:47.910
by IDOT first before we even go to letting.

00:03:48.110 --> 00:03:52.210
So once you guys sign it, it goes to IDOT, they'll sign it, and then we can go to letting.

00:03:52.210 --> 00:03:58.210
So we won't be ready for March 3rd, I don't anticipate yet.

00:03:58.330 --> 00:04:00.470
So other than that, everything else is on schedule.

00:04:01.450 --> 00:04:05.350
The only other thing is Alan McNutt, originally said he was going to retire in February.

00:04:05.450 --> 00:04:07.770
He's changed it to mid-April now

00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:09.170
So

00:04:09.170 --> 00:04:12.770
There was some misunderstanding about

00:04:12.770 --> 00:04:15.050
Working for an I

00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:17.790
He went with it

00:04:17.790 --> 00:04:18.810
He talked to IMRF

00:04:18.810 --> 00:04:22.890
He said he couldn't work for anybody for another 60 days after he retires

00:04:22.890 --> 00:04:25.770
But it's only for IMRF employees

00:04:25.770 --> 00:04:26.150
So

00:04:26.150 --> 00:04:30.630
He planned on working for Willard Hoffman

00:04:30.630 --> 00:04:32.370
When he retired from us

00:04:32.370 --> 00:05:02.930
and then we'll hire him to do construction for us so it's it's it's a win-win for for them for us so so uh that's all I've got any questions for Dale okay you know thank you sir Brian current budget and debt status but uh budgets beginning of the year so it's still looking good um um we have the water heater from building went off with a

00:05:02.930 --> 00:05:32.690
it was a thousand bucks so and then the HVAC was on the agenda to offer the crossword proposal so and that's budgeted in with our that we budgeted and it came in I originally went out for a bid like just to kind of pull just kind of see where we stood and if we put if we just

00:05:32.690 --> 00:05:43.450
from different companies. If we replaced one of them, it was going to be like $15,000, but if we replaced all four of them, and two of them are, one's actually not working at all right now.

00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:55.850
There's two other ones that we've had quite a bit of work into it, but if we replace all four of them, it was going to be like around $30,000 to $35,000.

00:05:55.850 --> 00:06:23.190
Jason. So we'll see if you guys approve to go out for proposal. We'll see where they come in at. Hopefully they come in pretty good. And then Sony was going to help us out with some of that. So that will help with some of our budget and stuff like that. So other than that, on the excess sick time, that's a one time a year. So that's why it's like at 50% right now.

00:06:23.190 --> 00:06:27.910
So, other than that, the budget is looking good.

00:06:27.910 --> 00:06:29.910
Questions from Brian?

00:06:29.910 --> 00:06:35.280
Brian, thank you.

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:36.280
No business.

00:06:36.280 --> 00:06:45.320
We'll move on into new business in 8.1, which is the local funding project there, and Seedville,

00:06:45.320 --> 00:06:46.320
right?

00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:47.320
Yeah, this is for Seedville.

00:06:47.320 --> 00:06:53.160
Well, this is one of the grants we got for local funding, it's 100 percent funding, but

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:58.320
we have put a dollar value in there in case it goes over budget they want to make sure we'll

00:06:58.320 --> 00:07:04.000
cover it so the budget it should should be covered so I don't I don't see any problem with

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:12.300
this so I have a motion to accept the HG 2603.

00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:18.940
So move from the Mr. Ritero seconded by the district of the championship.

00:07:18.940 --> 00:07:22.600
So this one's a short mile for that right before building a road?

00:07:23.020 --> 00:07:28.340
It'll be the end of the project, the last section, other than the intersections.

00:07:28.760 --> 00:07:31.240
So the intersection, I don't have funding.

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.200
My plan is turning that into a roundabout, but I don't have funding for that yet.

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.060
Figured it'd be on that end somewhere.

00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:39.540
If it never happens, it won't happen.

00:07:40.820 --> 00:07:45.340
We have a grant out there right now looking for funding for the engineering forward.

00:07:45.340 --> 00:08:11.740
We submitted HSIP funds for the roundabout, got rejected, but you can reapply every year, so I'm going to reapply next year for HSIP funds for it, and there's a rural and tribal assistance grant out there that we applied over the engineering for it, and that grant was only for engineering, not any construction, so we're going to look for it, we'll get it paid for it somehow.

00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:12.460
Thank you.

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.160
Any other questions or discussion?

00:08:15.340 --> 00:08:55.530
See none. All those in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.

00:09:59.680 --> 00:10:13.890
All right, moving on to 8.2, the RFP for four HVC students on campus.

00:10:13.890 --> 00:10:21.790
That was my mistake before we sent, we sent out the RFP already, but we have to get this

00:10:21.790 --> 00:10:26.850
county's, or this committee's approval before we sent the RFP out, so we canceled it.

00:10:27.430 --> 00:10:29.830
How many did we get, how many came out and looked at?

00:10:29.830 --> 00:10:54.350
Yes. There's been five. Okay. We had several come out and look at it, so we've canceled it. So after you got the approval, we'll send it back out. We've actually never had any come in yet, but we're still good. So we need to get our heating system fixed because it has been anywhere from 61 degrees to 85 at the time.

00:10:54.350 --> 00:11:02.150
Is the money for it all going to come out of your budget or is it going to come out of some

00:11:02.150 --> 00:11:09.290
zoning? The zoning department is going to pay for 50% out of their foundations. Thank you.

00:11:09.450 --> 00:11:14.170
So it's not even county funds. Move to approve.

00:11:14.650 --> 00:11:19.290
I have a motion to approve the RFP. Second. I'll do a second.

00:11:19.290 --> 00:11:41.230
I'm seconded by Mr. Schultz, I'm sorry, so I know it's done to RFP as in carrier, R2, R2, I don't know if it is R2, R2, R2, R2, I think qualifications is for consultants, so is that you want to, you ask for their qualification, but both as a bid price, you already know that you need anyway

00:11:41.230 --> 00:11:43.710
Yeah, so specified carrier is that

00:11:43.710 --> 00:11:49.870
Yeah, but if I believe on the top of it, it says like or equivalent, so whichever

00:11:49.870 --> 00:11:57.750
I guess I could, I should have taken carrier out of that, but I think I think the last one we went out or

00:11:57.750 --> 00:12:07.470
the last one I viewed from the county had a carrier on it, but in the description it says or equivalent

00:12:07.470 --> 00:12:13.350
and we had a budget of one unit.

00:12:13.350 --> 00:12:35.210
We had a budget of $15,000 and we could have like, you could make like $20,000, we could have gone a little bit over but now they came in so, it came in so much cheaper and then with the zoning stepping up, it really helps.

00:12:35.210 --> 00:12:37.330
Yeah, I agree that it's a thing to do.

00:12:37.470 --> 00:12:41.950
It's just the budget is capable of handling 50% of...

00:12:41.950 --> 00:12:48.710
Yeah, and I mean, if all those fails, if the committee doesn't agree that we get all fours,

00:12:48.770 --> 00:12:51.330
then I guess we don't have to.

00:12:51.530 --> 00:12:55.030
I don't know if it's still probably just one, but it'd be probably significant anymore.

00:12:55.230 --> 00:12:56.410
What's the age on those?

00:12:57.130 --> 00:12:58.670
22 years.

00:12:58.670 --> 00:13:02.870
I think it was 2003 was when the building was one of the...

00:13:02.870 --> 00:13:13.110
and they're definitely, I mean, the one that controls our cabin, my office, Kristen's office

00:13:13.110 --> 00:13:15.530
and Dale's office is no longer, doesn't work.

00:13:15.710 --> 00:13:18.590
But yet you go in the girl's bathroom and there's like a sound of your screen.

00:13:18.590 --> 00:13:21.390
Yeah, if you want to warm up, you just go into the bathroom for a little while.

00:13:21.630 --> 00:13:22.230
It's like 80.

00:13:24.070 --> 00:13:30.470
But luckily the other three, when they're running properly, they kind of maintain the,

00:13:30.470 --> 00:13:37.970
You know, I heard that the shredding contract was up.

00:13:38.070 --> 00:13:41.090
We wouldn't need to send all that energy away.

00:13:41.190 --> 00:13:42.630
We could just burn it in our heat.

00:13:42.850 --> 00:13:44.010
There you go.

00:13:44.270 --> 00:13:46.070
Like burn it in your wood stove.

00:13:46.190 --> 00:13:46.910
Yeah, there you go.

00:13:47.170 --> 00:13:48.050
Just eat a wood stove.

00:13:48.370 --> 00:13:48.850
Yeah, exactly.

00:13:49.190 --> 00:13:50.630
And you guys are coming to your job.

00:13:50.630 --> 00:13:53.430
I get done loads of wood up in the front of the building.

00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:59.090
Every day, just open up Kristen's window and we'll just throw all the wood chips in there.

00:13:59.090 --> 00:14:24.050
It's been moved and seconded to approve the RFP. Is there any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Motion. Moving on to 8.3, 26-04, the tandem cabin chassis, resourceful. I don't know, man, so I'm going to turn it over to Scott to talk about cabin chassis.

00:14:24.050 --> 00:14:50.070
That's the, it's a chassis for a new snowplow. In 2020, I guess what I should say is it's going to be a 2027 modeling year. But when they start building chassis in 27, the emissions changes and the prices can go up dramatically. I thought maybe it would change.

00:14:50.070 --> 00:15:06.030
I talked to the salesman a couple weeks ago and he said it's going to stay the same and he says everybody's trying to do what we're doing, just get one before and then maybe wait a year or two and see how things work out with the new emissions.

00:15:06.030 --> 00:15:37.340
even though we get this it probably wouldn't be till the end of this year and if if we Monroe truck like if we had bid it out for them to equip it we're looking at 400 days out so that's from when you would let them know that hey we've got the chassis tied up go ahead and get us on the list so we would be looking at the earliest getting

00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:44.640
that the earliest, probably the third quarter of $20,000, so amazing.

00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:53.300
And the cabin chassis, we have that in the budget for this year, this year, $20,600's budget.

00:15:53.580 --> 00:15:58.900
It actually, the price actually is a little lower than it was the last one we got a year

00:15:58.900 --> 00:16:06.840
ago because I, well, I changed one thing a little bit so it lowered the price of $2,000 or $3,000.

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:14.200
and he wasn't, yeah, total price, yeah, so that's the scoop of that.

00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:21.620
Do you know which funds, do you remember which funds, operational equipment and construction equipment, both in that $100,000?

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:31.460
Well, we got a supplemental for $100,000, and then the construction is for $100,000, so it's coming out with construction,

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:37.820
construction equipment, and then the balance will come out of the subliminal that we got.

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:41.280
So that will take either way our $35,000 of that.

00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:43.760
And you're not trading in Gen 1?

00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:50.960
No, but I might likely try to sell one, like on an auction site.

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:55.120
When I talk to them about trading in an old dump truck, there's no problem.

00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.900
They kind of look at me like, no, they prefer not to.

00:16:59.900 --> 00:17:05.520
Do you remember what year the truck is that you're replacing?

00:17:08.800 --> 00:17:14.700
I knew it would be 99, 99, yeah, it says.

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:19.240
Yes, Chairman Helms.

00:17:19.260 --> 00:17:25.340
If you are going to dispose of it, it has to be declared surplus property before you can put it on an option site.

00:17:25.860 --> 00:17:26.140
Okay.

00:17:26.540 --> 00:17:28.560
So George can help you with that.

00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:33.380
Just, yeah, don't get rid of any equipment without clearing.

00:17:33.580 --> 00:17:47.040
We haven't even thought about it because we have that old oil truck that I'd like to do at the same time and get rid of the bill. So it would probably be a good time to get rid of two pieces.

00:17:47.040 --> 00:17:49.920
So even if we go to auction with what we want to declare?

00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:54.920
The board has to declare surplus properties before it can be.

00:17:55.140 --> 00:18:00.040
Is that just the one time of a year? Or can you do it like each month as soon as you want?

00:18:00.100 --> 00:18:00.300
Okay.

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:03.520
But just make sure you declare it first.

00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:33.200
Okay. Yeah. That's good. Even something like a copier. So, like, you know, when we did the copier assisted. Oh, really? That's the process we just got. I had the copiers declared surplus property and then did it all right. We've done copiers, we've done desks, we've done... It's a state statute. You've got to file this. Maybe a paper little bit. Probably not. But, you know.

00:18:33.580 --> 00:18:34.320
Big fix.

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:40.700
So, I guess, if I sold used guardrail.

00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:43.920
You're talking hypothetically, right?

00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:45.740
Yes.

00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:46.500
Yes.

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:46.920
Okay.

00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:48.080
I haven't.

00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.520
We haven't, but so we have all that used guardrail up on the guardrail stick.

00:18:52.620 --> 00:18:53.340
It's laying there.

00:18:53.820 --> 00:18:58.540
I've had farmers that want to buy it for their cattle, you know, for cattle yards.

00:18:59.860 --> 00:19:01.820
That needs to be the same way.

00:19:02.300 --> 00:19:02.420
Okay.

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:32.300
that's what I want to know, so I need to make that before, that's good to know, I mean, I wasn't sure where you're headed there, so that's why I was asking you, hypothetically speaking, hypothetically, yes, it was, hypothetically speaking, still lying back, I know, yeah, most recently, that was a copy, I was kind of declared surplus property, and I went out for seeking false vids for that, I believe I was just, and the whole board needs to make this declaration, not the committee, so it's a board and then committee,

00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:34.080
and you can do it.

00:19:34.080 --> 00:19:36.020
You can do it.

00:19:36.020 --> 00:19:37.520
You can do it.

00:19:37.520 --> 00:19:39.520
You can do it.

00:19:39.520 --> 00:19:44.520
Anything that holds any value is on the statute of practices.

00:19:44.520 --> 00:19:47.020
It's very subjective as far as value.

00:19:47.020 --> 00:19:49.320
It's valuable or not.

00:19:49.320 --> 00:19:50.520
Well, some farmers want that.

00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:51.920
So you just declare it all.

00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.520
Can I just say everything we own?

00:19:54.520 --> 00:19:56.520
Can you just say everything?

00:19:56.520 --> 00:19:57.920
We best like this.

00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:08.280
I do have a motion and a second to approve this, any other final discussion, I'm sorry, we didn't

00:20:08.280 --> 00:20:15.680
move, no, I don't think, I didn't write anything, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:25.600
motion for accepting 2604, so moved, moved by Mr. Maduro, second by Mr. Jogerst,

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.720
Now, is there any final discussion?

00:20:28.540 --> 00:20:30.080
That's the only bit we have.

00:20:31.460 --> 00:20:53.340
It's through Swordswell, and I got another quote from Kenworth, which was, and this was back in the fourth quarter of 25, when he gave me one, and it was, let's see, $149,000 compared to $132,000.

00:20:53.340 --> 00:20:55.740
Yeah, we've got Freightliners now, right?

00:20:55.740 --> 00:21:02.580
And we've got mostly freight liners that's kind of nice to keep everything uniform parts wise. Sounds good.

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:25.700
And I did contact administrators earlier today about the RFP about this with using a source well. We've done it before. I think it was a John Deere tractor or something. And since that time, we've asked for Mr. Larson's approval on this.

00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:43.300
and he again blessed it and thinks everything's fine so I think we are good to go with that sorry I should have mentioned it earlier discussion. Seeing none all those in favor say aye. Motion is approved.

00:21:43.300 --> 00:21:48.060
Oh, okay

00:21:48.060 --> 00:22:47.220
So it is

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:48.980
That's good

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:54.920
I was going to say

00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.640
Are we only two copies here?

00:22:57.640 --> 00:22:59.660
Oh, then that's even

00:22:59.660 --> 00:23:03.660
I was not sure

00:23:03.660 --> 00:23:33.660
Mayor Mrakas, Steve, William, Scott, Steve, William, Scott, Steve, William, Scott, Steve, William,

00:23:33.660 --> 00:23:36.220
to Executive Session.

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:42.900
We talked about, you mean review them, you can either go into Executive Session to do so,

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:46.680
and if we do, you should probably go into that room since Nursing is going to be starting

00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:47.500
here pretty soon.

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:53.700
If you're not going to deliberate, you can adjourn, you can go into that room and you can review

00:23:53.700 --> 00:24:00.300
the documents, as long as you don't converse amongst one another about the documents.

00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:01.960
We can't take them like this.

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:03.360
No, absolutely not.

00:24:03.660 --> 00:24:20.240
okay so it's up to you guys you want to do executive session all right I was just thinking out loud and it might make more sense not to like us the decisions to be made or anything so correct it's just information getting correct

00:24:22.560 --> 00:24:25.440
I I think um just

00:24:27.040 --> 00:24:32.880
reviewing them roster by ourselves I think it's fine it'd be no different if you went up to george's office

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:58.750
so we're back looking for a motion to adjourn motion to adjourn second we've been seconded session all those favorite agents turn and thank you fall for making that message
