CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION. SO THE

[00:30:05]

WE HAVE IT UNDER AGREEMENT AND CONTRACT. WE'VE JUST BEEN FIGURING OUT THE SCOPE AND WE'VE AGREED TO THIS, WHICH WAS AN ORIGINAL CONVERSATION IN SCOPE. AND NOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND WE HAVE A DEADLINE, RIGHT WHEN WE HAVE TO COMPLETE THE WORK BY SO THAT WE GET THE REIMBURSEMENT FROM FEMA. YES. AND ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE TIGHT, OUR CONTRACTOR, I SPOKE TO THEM IN ADVANCE OF OF RECOMMENDING THIS AWARD, FEELS VERY CONFIDENT THAT HE HAS ENOUGH TIME TO GET THIS DONE BEFORE THE DEADLINE FEMA HAS SET. AND THAT DEADLINE IS, I BELIEVE IT'S THE END OF SEPTEMBER. AND AT THIS POINT, WE MADE THE CONTRACT DEADLINE THE END OF AUGUST TO GIVE US EVEN A LITTLE CUSHION. AND THE CONTRACTOR HAS NO ISSUE WITH THAT. OKAY. WHAT DOES THAT REIMBURSEMENT TYPICALLY TAKE? IT DEPENDS. WE'VE SEEN MR. SHEA CAN PROBABLY COMMENT ABOUT THAT, BUT IT CAN VARY. I HAD SOME QUESTIONS FOR KIMMY, ACTUALLY.

IF I WELL, I'LL LET HIM ANSWER. OKAY. SO TYPICALLY MOST PROJECTS, THEY WAIT TILL YOU'RE DONE. THEN YOU SUBMIT ALL THE PAPERWORK, THEN THEY CAN TAKE YEARS FOR THIS PROJECT. THEY'VE AGREED TO PERIODIC INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS. SO, SO WE'RE LOOKING TO DO QUARTERLY, BUT THIS PROJECT IS SO QUICK THAT IT SHOULD BE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR THAT THE MONEY COMES BACK.

AWESOME. THANK YOU. SO I KNOW LIKE I REMEMBER THIS FROM WHEN KEN USED TO WORK FOR THE TOWN AND I LOOKED AT SOME PLANS OR WHATEVER, AND THEY SEEMED TO BE KIND OF AWKWARD BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW THE WIND YOU YOU'RE A WATER EXPERT THAT GOES FROM THE SOUTHWEST PREDOMINANTLY. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS WE HAVE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY WAY AROUND IT, BUT THE WAY IT'S SET UP, WE ALWAYS END UP WITH SAND ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THAT, WHICH THEN WE HAVE TO DREDGE, WHICH IMPEDES OUR LAUNCH, PROBABLY BE ON THE SCOPE, BUT WAS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MITIGATE THAT WITH THE CONTRACTOR? OR MAYBE NOT. SO WE TRIED VERY HARD TO GET SOME MODIFICATIONS OR MITIGATIONS, AS WE CALL THEM, APPROVED BY FEMA. AND I BELIEVE IT'S THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE. AND UNFORTUNATELY, EVERYTHING WE SUGGESTED THAT WOULD HAVE IMPROVED THAT SITUATION WAS DENIED. SO THIS PROJECT, WE SPENT A YEAR IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. YEAH. NO, I'M HERE TO HELP. AND THE STATE THINGS, RONALD REAGAN. SO WE SPENT ABOUT A YEAR GOING BACK AND FORTH AND AND TRYING TO SHOW THEM. AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THESE WOULD BE MITIGATION EFFORTS THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE. BUT ULTIMATELY, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SECURE THE PERMISSION TO DO THEM WITH THESE FUNDS. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THE WAY THE PROJECT HAS BEEN STRUCTURED, IT LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN FOR US TO IF WE FIND ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE, ADD ON AND DO WHAT WE KNOW WE NEED TO DO TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE EXACTLY AS YOU SAID, TO. TO PROVIDE THAT MITIGATION.

YEAH. THERE WAS SIMPLE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT JUST INCREASING. LIKE WE'RE REPLACING ALL THE STONE THAT GOES AROUND THE JETTY, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR. SURE. WE HAD TALKED AT ONE POINT ABOUT JUST RAISING IT A FEW FEET, WHICH WOULD PROTECT AGAIN, FROM MORE OF THAT WAVE ACTION THAT WAS DENIED AS BEING CONSIDERED OUTSIDE OF THEIR SCOPE FOR REPAIR OF STORM DAMAGE. BUT AGAIN, WE ARE GOING TO KEEP ALL THAT OLD STONE. SO WE'VE GOT OPPORTUNITY PERHAPS, TO USE IT IN WAYS ALONG THE JETTY THAT WOULD HELP THE TOWN AND HELP THAT SITUATION OR POTENTIALLY DO OTHER THINGS. SO WE ARE STILL LOOKING AHEAD FOR OPTIONS FOR THE TOWN. BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR THIS FUNDING, WE HAVE TO KIND OF STICK TO A REPLACEMENT IN KIND. WELL, I KNOW THAT BECAUSE JUST LOOKING AT THE MITIGATIONS AND FIXING THE PROBLEM, NOT GOING OUTSIDE, AND I THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE PUT IN FOR MEDIATION, BUT IS WITH THAT EXTRA RIFFRAFF AND THAT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THE TOWN COULD DO LIKE THE. YES, EXACTLY. IT'S SOMETHING. AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK, OF COURSE, FOR HIGHWAY AND WHAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DO. BUT WE WOULD THEN HAVE THE MATERIAL, WHICH IS A BIG COST, THAT SAVINGS RIGHT THERE BY KEEPING. WE'VE HAD OTHER CONVERSATIONS, BUT EVEN OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE BEACH WHERE SOME OF THE WAVE ACTION COMES UP, WHERE SOME OF THAT ROCK COULD BE USED. SO WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT OUR OPTIONS. THERE'S A, THERE'S A HILL THERE OF MY PROPERTY AND I JUST PUT IN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LOADS OF CEMENT, BUT LAST YEAR WAS A GOOD TIME BECAUSE IT WAS DRY, SO IT DIDN'T SINK INTO THE THE GRASS, BUT WE HAD TO MOVE A LOT OF THE ROCKS. AND BECAUSE THE ROCKS THAT ARE IN OUR JETTY ARE NOT SECURED, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO

[00:35:04]

I MEAN, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. I MEAN, THE POWER OF WATER IS AMAZING. YEAH. WHEN YOU SEE SOME OF THE POWER AND OUR STORM SURGES ARE ONLY GETTING BIGGER. SO YEAH, HOPEFULLY DOESN'T FREEZE THAT MUCH ANYMORE EITHER BECAUSE OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE. HOPEFULLY THE THE OLD ROCK BEING SAVED WHILE THE NEW ROCKS COMING IN WILL GIVE US SOME OPPORTUNITY PERHAPS TO DO MORE AND PROTECT OUR TOWN BEACH MORE. WOULD THERE BE ANY DISRUPTION TO ANY OF THE BOATERS THAT WHETHER THIS IS UNDER. NO. THE BOAT LAUNCH WILL NOT BE IMPACTED. IT WILL ONLY BE IMPACTED FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT IS REPAVING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THAT BOAT LAUNCH BECAUSE IT IS CHEWED UP PRETTY BADLY THE ASPHALT. SO IT IS INCLUDED IN OUR STORM DAMAGE. ALTHOUGH A MUCH SMALLER PIECE OF THE PROJECT. WE WILL BE DOING SOME REPAVING THERE. SO THAT'S THE ONLY THERE'D BE LIKE A DAY OR SO WHERE WE'D HAVE TO WORK WITH THE BOATERS. BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, WE WON'T INTERRUPT THE BOAT. IT'LL JUST INTERRUPT THE JETTY ITSELF AND WE WON'T INTERRUPT THE BEACH OR THE SAND OR USE OF THE BUILDING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT DOESN'T. I DON'T THINK ANYONE ON THIS BOARD IS SURPRISED THAT YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ABOUT TRYING TO REMEDIATE THE SAND PROBLEM, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE OPPOSITE SIDE, AND THAT UNFORTUNATELY, THEY HAVE VERY STRICT REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO FALL UNDER TO BE CONSIDERED. OKAY. AND THEY JUST COULDN'T WE COULDN'T MAKE OUR IDEAS FIT. BUT OUT OF OUT OF FAIRNESS TO CAMMIE, IT WASN'T THIS WAS A WHEN WE WOULD SIT THROUGH THESE MEETINGS, THERE WERE A LOT OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS AND A LOT OF THEM WERE STATE. IT WASN'T JUST FEDERAL, IT WAS ACTUALLY IT WAS DISHES AT THE STATE LEVEL, AND IT WAS THE COORDINATION BETWEEN THE. SO, BUT, BUT WE REALIZED THAT WE HAVE A PATH FORWARD. WE COULD BUILD UPON THIS PROJECT, AS CAMI SAID, SOME OF THE ROCK THAT'S COMING OFF. WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A FEW OTHER SPOTS WITH THE HILLS THERE WHERE WE HAVE OTHER STRUCTURES THAT ARE IN NEED OF BEING BUILT UP, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT ROCK AGAIN. SO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO TURN IT INTO THE, I MEAN, TO THE TO THE WEST SIDE OF THOSE HILLS THAT ARE KIND OF ERODING, THAT YOU COULD PUT ROCKS THERE BECAUSE THAT THAT PART STRUCTURE, THAT PART LOOKS LIKE IT'S ERODED SIGNIFICANTLY. AND THERE WAS, I MEAN, THERE'S ROCKS IN THE WATER, LIKE NOT ROCKS, BUT THEY'RE LIKE CONCRETE STRUT LIKE STRUCTURE FROM WHERE THERE WAS WALLS THAT ARE NOW WHEN YOU'RE FACING THE BEACH TO THE LEFT, THAT IS RUBBLE IN THAT AREA, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY NOT EVERYONE KEEPS THE CONCRETE OUT OF THE LAKE. AND IT DOES TRAVEL SIMILAR TO THE SAND AND THE DREDGING. WE ALSO DID AT ONE POINT THERE WAS SOME CONCRETE OUT THERE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF WHAT'S IN THE WATER CAME OFF OF THE AREA, CAME OFF, CAME SOMEWHERE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. AND UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE YOU SAID, THE LAKE JUST PICKED IT UP AND CARRIED IT AND WE WILL PRETTY MUCH LEAVE IT ALONE. WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PUT ANYTHING BEYOND THE ROCK THAT WE'RE PERMITTED INTO THE WATER.

IF ANYTHING IS TRAPPED ON THE ROCKS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO REMOVE IT. BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WE'RE NOT REMOVING ANYTHING THAT'S THERE. BUT IN THE END, THOUGH, WE ARE A HUGE AMOUNT OF THIS AND IT WILL BE AN IMPROVEMENT. SURE IS BEING FUNDED SO THAT THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS. SO WE'LL END ON A GOOD MONEY'S A PROBLEM, RIGHT? IF YOU HAD UNLIMITED MONEY, WE COULD DO WHATEVER WE WANT. RIGHT. BUT BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME NEW IDEAS AS WELL ONCE WE ADDRESS THIS. AND, AND WE'VE ALREADY HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE STAFF THAT WORKS OUT THERE AND THE PEOPLE WHO USE THE BEACH REGULARLY COMING UP WITH WHAT THE NEXT PLANS ARE THAT WILL MAKE OUR BEACH BETTER. YEAH. THAT'S GREAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. POLLING LOCATION, LEASE

[4.30. Polling Location Lease Agreement]

WE'RE HAPPY TO. WE'RE THRILLED TO SUPPORT IT. AND I THINK IT'S GREAT FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AND I THINK IT'S GREAT TO, YOU KNOW, TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT HAMBURG HAS TO OFFER. AND IT'S A GREAT TOWN, BUT I DON'T PAST PRACTICE. SURE. I'M HAPPY TO DO IT. YEAH. BECAUSE THEN IT'S ALSO GOOD TO WE CAN'T STOP YOU. RIGHT, RIGHT. THEN WE HAVE THE INVOLVEMENT OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR EMS. IT'S IT PUTS IT ON THE THE RECORD. AND AND WE'D LIKE TO NOTE IMPORTANT OCCASIONS AS THEY'RE BEING PREPARED FOR IN OUR COMMUNITY. SURE. YES. AND I'M GOING TO ASK MADAM SUPERVISOR ON JULY 31ST OF THIS YEAR, DOWN IN THE VILLAGE OF BOLIVAR IS WHEN WE DO A SWEARING IN THAT. AND I START OFF. AS FOR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME DOWN AND SPEAK AND GIVE THE WELCOMING SPEECH FOR US COMING INTO WOODLAWN THE FOLLOWING YEAR, I CAN SIT DOWN WITH YOU. SURE AT ANY TIME.

WE HAVE PAPERWORK BECAUSE OUR MAIN PARADE, WHICH WILL BE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, OUR PLAN IS TO LINE UP EVERYBODY ON THE BRIDGE AT ONCE. OVER 179, AND HAVE THEM GO TO MILE STRIP AND INTO THE BAND

[00:50:06]

OH, I DIDN'T SAY THAT. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? LIKE I SAID, GET A HOLD OF ME, DAN. HERE'S MY PHONE NUMBER. CALL ME, I APPRECIATE IT. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, JAN. ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? YEP. IF YOU COULD. JUST WHEN YOU GET UP TO THE MICROPHONE, JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR ME. YEAH. MY NAME IS JOSEPH SAWILOWSKY. I LIVE IN HAMBURG. I LIVE OFF HOWARD ROAD.

AND WHAT WHAT WOULD BE THE PROCEDURE TO HAVE SPEED BUMPS PUT IN? BECAUSE THEY'RE DRIVING BY FAST AT NIGHT. IT'S NOT DURING THE DAY. WE'RE JUST JUST THINKING ABOUT PUTTING A SPEED BUMP IN, BECAUSE YOU GO FROM SOUTHWESTERN TO DOWN. HOWARD. IT'S LIKE PROBABLY A QUARTER MILE STRAIGHT AND PEOPLE ARE SPEEDING DOWN THERE, AND THEN YOU GET A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THERE. AND SO WHEN YOU MAKE THE TURN ON SOUTHWESTERN TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, YOU PROBABLY HAVE TWO SECONDS BECAUSE THEIR DRIVEWAY IS GOING TO BE RIGHT THERE, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE A SOUTHWESTERN ACCESS. SO SO WE THINK ABOUT, WE HAVE A TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD AND IS HEADED BY MATT GIACOMINI. AND THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD HAVE YOU START WITH HIM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT ACTUALLY REVIEWS ALL OF THESE REQUESTS. SO DO I HAVE TO GET A PETITION OR. NO, I WOULD JUST START OUT BY GIVING MATT A CALL. HE DID THAT LAST YEAR AND HE HE SAID NO, NO CHANCE. SOMEONE SAID, NO CHANCE. I CALLED. I MEAN, I THINK WE'D HAVE TO CHECK WITH THE LAW DEPARTMENT FOR THE SAFETY ON IT. AND THEN PROBABLY THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.

PEOPLE DRIVE DOWN THERE. ACTUALLY, IT'LL START WITH MATT AND HE'LL GO THROUGH THE MUCK AND HE'LL ALSO KNOW WHICH JURISDICTION IT'S UNDER AS FAR AS NEW YORK STATE DOT OR WHICH DOT, AND THEN HE'S A GOOD STARTING POINT, AND THEN HE CAN INVOLVE ANY OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT WOULD NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND POSSIBLY REVIEW. AND THEY BECAUSE THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS THEY TAKE A LOOK AT THE CODE BOOK AND ANALYZE THE AREA. AND THAT'S ALWAYS A GREAT FIRST STEP. WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF NEW FAMILIES THERE AND THERE'S KIDS RUNNING AROUND. I MEAN, REALISTICALLY, THE SPEEDING AIN'T DONE TILL PROBABLY 8 OR 9:00 AT NIGHT. YOU SEE PEOPLE RACING BY COMING OUT OF THAT BAR THAT WELL COMING OUT, WE GOT THE NEW APARTMENTS, YOU GOT THE APARTMENTS, YOU GOT THE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT LIVE THERE.

YEAH, RIGHT. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BECAUSE THEY'VE TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I'VE SEEN THEM LIKE IN CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITIES, LIKE IN THE WEST SIDE OF BUFFALO. BUFFALO HAS THEM. ROCHESTER HAS BUFFALO, ROCHESTER HAS THEM. MY DAUGHTER LIVES IN ROCHESTER. SO BUT BUT I WOULD WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE IN THE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD TOO. I MEAN, I IT'S CRAZY TO ME, LIKE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, LIKE YOU WOULD THINK LIKE IT'S COMMON SENSE THAT YOU WOULD. I DON'T DO 30 IN THERE, YOU KNOW, GO UNDER 30. I GO WAY SLOWER BECAUSE THE KIDS COULD RUN OUT IN FRONT OF YOU OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. JUST I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE FAST, GO ON ROUTE 20 AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING AND GO A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR, LIKE WHO CARES? BUT WHEN PEOPLE DRIVE THROUGH RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THAT, I'VE SEEN THEM IN LIKE, I'VE SEEN THEM. I MEAN, IT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. I MEAN, I'VE SEEN THEM IN, LIKE YOU SAID, SOUTH BUFFALO, THE WEST SIDE OF BUFFALO, EAST SIDE OF BUFFALO, ROCHESTER. I MEAN, IF YOU LEAVE YOUR YOUR PHONE NUMBER WITH THE TOWN CLERK, WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL HAVE THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COORDINATOR CONTACT YOU. HE'LL REACH RIGHT OUT TO YOU. CHIEF, IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THAT SPEED SIGN UP AGAIN? AND THAT'S GOOD. THEY HAD RADAR BEFORE.

IT'S NOT THE RADAR. IT'S AFTERWARDS. MAYBE SOME OF THOSE NEW POLICE OFFICERS WILL STEP UP. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT AT 11:00. LOOK AT. YEAH, RIGHT. WE HAVE OUR DOOR OPEN. WE'RE WATCHING TV. AND. BUT WHEN MATT GIVES YOU A CALL, THOSE. THEY HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS THEY CAN POSSIBLY RECOMMEND, WHETHER IT BE LOOKING FOR SPEED REDUCTION, WHETHER IT'S THE THE SPEED WAGON, WHETHER IT'S, YOU KNOW, SO THAT COMMITTEE WILL BRAINSTORM AND THEY'LL COME UP WITH A PLAN AND THEY CAN DISCUSS WHAT'S POSSIBLE, WHAT'S

[00:55:03]

AND? AND SHE WAS GREAT. I MEAN, I'D HIRE HER BACK LIKE SHE WAS. SHE SHE WROTE MORE TICKETS.

DIDN'T SHE WRITE THE MOST TICKETS? I MEAN, WE COULD PUT HER IN CHARGE OF A TRAFFIC AND LIKE, I MEAN. WELL, SHE GAVE ME A LECTURE AND A TICKET AND ON MY POLICE OFFICER FRIENDS. NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. I JUST WANTED TO EITHER LIKE, ONE OR THE OTHER. AND THEN WE'RE READY TO START THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF PLACES DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE SCREAMING. YEAH. IT'S NOT IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THE CODE. IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. YEAH. PEOPLE THAT ARE YEAH.

GREAT. I WAS OUT DOING RESIDENTIAL PIPE JOBS. THEY'RE CONSTANTLY MOVING, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE STORMWATER DISTRICT COMING TO GET SOME MORE HELP AND WE CAN GET MORE DONE. CURRENTLY WE'RE OUT OF MULCH, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. AT THE END OF THE MONTH, WEST SENECA UNDER SHARED SERVICES, BRINGING THEIR TUB GRINDER IN. AND WE'RE GOING TO START GRINDING SOME NEW STUFF UP. SO WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE ENOUGH FOR THEM BY THE TIME THEY GET HERE TO GRIND UP. SO WE CAN GIVE IT AWAY FOR FREE. WE RIGHT NOW WE STILL HAVE COMPOST. IF YOU WANT COMPOST, WE STILL HAVE THAT FOR FREE AT THE AT THE BARNES GOLF COURSE IS LOOKING TO BAG. THE GOLF COURSE IS LOOKING REALLY GOOD. A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS. TOWN PARK IS LOOKING GREAT. THE NEW STAIRS WENT IN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, WHICH IS. KNOCK ON WOOD, THAT'S A GOOD THING. WE'RE GETTING PRICING FOR THIS, THE THE THE RAILING FOR IT. WE HAVE TO HAVE IT FOR THE FOR THE RAILING ON THE BATHROOMS. WE HAD SOME COMPLAINTS ON THE BATHROOMS DOWN THERE. WE HAVE FOUR ADA COMPLIANT PORTA JOHNS DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW, PLUS THE WHITE ONE, THE THE GRANT ONE, ONE OF THE WHITE ONES DOWN THERE. BUT THE PROBLEM WE'RE RUNNING INTO IS WHEN THEY TOOK THE STAIRS OUT, THEY TOOK OUT EXTRA ELECTRIC OUT THE OUTLET FROM RIGHT THERE TO RUN IT. SO WHEN THE NEW STAIRS GET PUT IN AND EVERYTHING GETS DONE, WE'RE GOING TO GET THE THE BATHROOMS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN. AND THEN FINALLY WE'RE STARTING TO GET CAUGHT UP WITH THE, THE MOWING WITH ALL THE PLAYGROUNDS AND STUFF BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING A LOT, WE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND STUFF, BUT THERE WAS THE GROUND WAS JUST TOO WET. WE WERE GETTING STUCK. SO HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK WE CAN GET ALL CAUGHT UP AND WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. THAT'S IT. THANKS. JILL. SO JUST TO PLAY OFF OF ED, WE HAD OUR FIRST DAY OPEN AT THE BEACH ON SUNDAY. WENT VERY WELL. WE'RE FINALLY THE CORRECT DEGREES AND TODAY WENT WELL. WE DID. THANK YOU FOR HIRING FOUR GUARDS TODAY AT THE MEETING. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE ONLY FOR LEARN TO SWIM, SO WE WILL STILL BE LOOKING FOR OPEN WATER. AND ONE OF THE GUARDS JUST INFORMED US ABOUT AN HOUR AGO THAT SHE BROKE HER ARM. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT IT'S QUICK TO HEAL SO WE WILL CONTINUE LOOKING FOR THEM. BUT ALSO, WE DID HIRE AN EMT FOR US TONIGHT, SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT. OPEN SWIM IS ABOUT 17. YOU HAVE TO BE WE HAVE HIRED AS YOUNG AS 15, HONESTLY, BECAUSE IT'S JUST IN A POOL. SO IT'S NOT AS I MEAN, THE OPEN WATERS. I'M SORRY, OPEN WATER. I BELIEVE WE WON'T DO UNDER 16 JUST BECAUSE THERE'S. I'M SORRY. ANYONE WHO NEWLY WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR IS $19 AN HOUR. SO SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR LIFEGUARDS. WE STILL ARE, RIGHT? YES. SO. A MONETARY THING, IS THAT RIGHT? I MEAN, IF WE RAISE IT TO SAY 24 BUCKS, BUFFALO IS PAYING 25. AND I DON'T THINK THEY'RE THEY CAN'T FIND ANYBODY. WE RAISED WE DID RAISE IT UP ONCE ALREADY THIS SEASON ABOUT. YEAH. $3. I'M JUST TRYING TO BE PRAGMATIC ABOUT IT. BUT WE'RE ALSO IN A UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE TO HAVE AN OPEN WATER, AN EXTRA CERTIFICATION. SO NOT JUST THE PROFESSIONAL RESCUER THAT POOLS HAVE TO HAVE, THEY HAVE TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL OPEN WATER. SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE STRUGGLE WE HAVE. CORRECT, CORRECT. BUT A LOT OF THE GUARDS THAT WE SAW THAT WEREN'T INTERESTED ARE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET THAT EXTRA. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THE OPEN WATER. I GUESS THE TRAINING WE CANNOT WE CAN DO IT IN HOUSE. IF WE REACH OUT TO A CONTRACTOR, LIKE WE CAN CONTRACT SOMEONE TO COME AND DO IT. BUT AGAIN, A DECENT AMOUNT OF THEM JUST I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IS, IS MOVING THE ZONE IN SO THAT YOU, IN A TIME PERIOD REQUIRED LESS BECAUSE CURRENTLY THE WAY THE ZONES ARE SET UP, IT REQUIRES QUITE A FEW LIFEGUARDS. SO THE OTHER POSSIBILITY IS TO

[01:05:05]

SO WE STILL KEEP THE WATER OPEN. CORRECT. AND THE DIFFICULT PART IS REALLY WHEN WE HAVE LEARNED TO SWIM SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE BEACH OPENING. I MEAN, THAT'S JULY REALLY IN THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT TIMES. SO BUT HOPEFULLY FINGERS CROSSED NOBODY ELSE WILL GET SICK AND WE'LL BE GOOD TO GO. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MAYBE KEN WILL TAKE IT FOR A STIPEND OR SOMETHING AND BE A LIFEGUARD. YEAH, YEAH. COME ON MAN. I THINK HE'LL DO IT IF YOU DO IT WITH HIM. MAKE IT A GROUP EVENT. THREE YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. HOW TO DOGGY PADDLE NOW. OKAY, JEFF. FIRST OF ALL, I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT FOR THE HIRE. WE'VE BEEN DOWN A PERSON FOR THE LAST ABOUT 4 TO 6 WEEKS, SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING OUR NEW HIRE START TOMORROW MORNING. THIS IS DEFINITELY GETTING INTO OUR BUSY TIME. SO IN THE MONTH OF MAY, I JUST HAVE SOME NUMBERS. WE WROTE 241 PERMITS FOR A TOTAL OF $73,000 IN FEES SO FAR, YEAR TO DATE, TO THE END OF MAY, WE'VE DONE 869 BUILDING PERMITS FOR FEES OF $307,000.

YOU NEVER YOU NEVER KNOW. AND THEN ACTUALLY, MY DAD GOT A PUBLIC SERVICE JOB. MY WIFE'S TRYING TO GET RID OF ONE. AND YOU'RE. AND THEN WHEN MY FATHER GOT A PUBLIC OR A CIVIL SERVICE POSITION, HE WAS ABLE TO USE THAT TIME AS PART OF THE PENSION RIGHT. TO BECOME TIER ONE. SO THERE ARE ADVANTAGES. YOU NEVER KNOW. YOU MIGHT BECOME A POLICE OFFICER SOMEDAY, OR WORK IN THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT IN SOME OTHER CAPACITY. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, NO REPORT. I AM GLAD, THOUGH, THAT WE DID HIRE NEW POLICE OFFICERS. I WOULD COMMEND THE CHIEF FOR HAVING OFFICERS THAT ARE ALREADY TRAINED BECAUSE IT SAVES US TIME AND MONEY, BECAUSE THEY'RE DEPLOYABLE INSTANTLY, SO THAT'S GOOD FOR US. SO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

SO EVERYONE'S HEALTHY, WHICH IS GREAT, BUT GLAD TO BE BACK. JUMPING OFF WHAT FRANK SAID. I WANT TO COMMEND THE CHIEF. YOU KNOW, GETTING THOSE NEW OFFICERS IS FANTASTIC. PUT TOGETHER A FANTASTIC PRESENTATION THAT REALLY WAS A NO BRAINER. SO THAT WAS REALLY EXCITING.
