IT'S GOOD TO SEE A BIG CROWD FOR, UH, ONE OF THESE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT MEETINGS.

AWESOME.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.

AND I WILL SAY SHOP LOCAL.

WE NEED SALES TAX DOLLARS HERE, OR LOOKS LIKE ZIGLAR'S IS GETTING CLOSE TO BEING READY TO BE OPEN.

AND WE HAVE QUICK TRIP OPEN NOW, SO MAKE SURE YOU'RE, UH, VISITING THOSE, THOSE ORGANIZATIONS.

UM, FOUR B STAFF UPDATE.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANYTHING.

I HAVE SOME DISCUSSION WITH SOME OF THESE ITEMS, OBVIOUSLY, BUT NOTHING FOR STAFF UPDATE.

ALL RIGHTY.

ALRIGHT, WE'LL

[5. CONSENT AGENDA]

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE BY THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND WILL BE ENACTED BY ONE MOTION.

MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND.

ALRIGHT, ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

[6.A. Consideration and possible action to approve an Application for Loan or Grant of Public Money for the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church 2026 Strawberry Festival.]

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE AN APPLICATION FOR LOAN OR GRANT OF PUBLIC MONEY FOR THE HOLY TRINITY EPIS EPISCOPAL CHURCH 2026 STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.

UM, I WOULD JUST ASK ONE QUESTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THE PREVIOUS MEETING.

I APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING MISSED THAT MEETING, BUT, SO WE, WE DID DISCUSS IT AND IT WAS DENIED AT THAT TIME.

UM, ACCORDING TO THE STATUES IN WHICH WERE CREATED, THE FESTIVAL ISN'T, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, MR. NIM, UH, THE FESTIVAL DIDN'T FALL IN THE REQUIREMENTS.

IS THAT WHY WE DENIED THAT? THE ARGUMENT OR THE POSITION THAT A, A FESTIVAL, UH, LIKE THAT, UH, WOULD STIMULATE ECONOMIC, UH, ACTIVITY AND, AND, AND, AND BUSINESS GROWTH, COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY, UH, THAT SORT OF THING? I, I, I DO THINK IT IS ATTENUATED.

UH, I MEAN, I, I THINK THAT IS QUITE A STRETCH AND I THINK IT WAS BASED ON THAT, THAT THE BOARD CHOSE LAST TIME TO VOTE IT DOWN.

SO, SO MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS JUST GIVEN.

IS THERE SOMETHING THAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT NO, THERE'S NOT.

SO THEY, THEY, UM, DID NOT ATTEND THE LAST MEETING.

THERE WASN'T A REPRESENTATIVE, SO THEY WANTED TO COME TONIGHT TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO US AND GIVE A PRESENTATION ABOUT THE EVENT.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

AND, AND I, I THOUGHT I RECALLED READING IN THE MINUTES THAT IT WAS PRESENTED AND WAS NOT APPROVED.

SO MY QUESTION IS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THE PRESENTATION THAT WOULD GIVE US A DIFFERENT, UH, ADDITIONAL THINGS TO DISCUSS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW IT GOT ON THE AGENDA, BUT, OKAY.

I WOULD SAY NO.

LOOK AT THIS OVER ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.

THANK YOU.

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 PERIOD ENDING NOVEMBER, 2025.

THANKS.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? ALL RIGHT.

[6.B. Consideration and possible action to approve the Financial Report for FY26 Period Ending 11/2025. ]

[00:10:04]

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE NOVEMBER REPORT.

AND THIS IS, THIS WAS THE ITEM THAT WAS PULLED FROM THE LAST MEETING, MR. DIETZ, BECAUSE THE FINANCIALS WEREN'T SENT TO US.

SO SECOND, IT'S AWESOME.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT.

NEW BUSINESS

[7.A. Consideration and possible action to approve a budget adjustment reallocating previously approved funds designated for the purchase of one (1) EMS vehicle to instead be used for EMS equipment and medical supplies needed to address immediate departmental needs.]

REALLOCATING PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FUNDS DESIGNATED FOR THE PURCHASE OF ONE EMS VEHICLE TO INSTEAD BE USED FOR EMS EQUIPMENT AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES NEEDED TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATE DEPARTMENTAL NEEDS.

SO, SO WITH THIS ONE, I'D LIKE TO, UH, HAVE, UM, CHIEF ROBBINS HERE.

EXPLAIN, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE HAVE, HOW OUR CHANGE SINCE THIS WAS APPROVED.

AND THE NEW REQUEST.

SORRY.

SO INITIALLY WE, UM, WE WERE ASKING FOR THE NEW VEHICLE FOR WHAT WE CALL OUR SUPERVISOR VEHICLE.

AND IT WAS, WHEN I CAME IN AND, UM, MOVED OVER TO THE EMS CHIEF, I NOTICED WE NEED TWO CARDIAC MONITORS.

CARDIAC MONITORS WERE MORE IMPORTANT THAN A SUPERVISOR EMS VEHICLE TO RESPOND.

UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE CARE OF PATIENTS.

THE TWO THAT WE, WE HAVE A TOTAL OF THREE, TWO OF THEM THAT WE HAVE ARE OUTDATED.

UM, THEY DON'T MAKE THE MOTHERBOARDS FOR 'EM.

SO SOMETHING GOES DOWN, THEY'RE OUT OF COMMISSION, AND THEN WE CAN'T RUN, TAKE CARE OF PATIENTS.

I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO EKGS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO WITH THAT, I, UH, MADE A RECOMMENDATION THAT INSTEAD OF GETTING THAT VEHICLE, WE REALLY NEEDED THE TWO CARDIAC MONITORS WITH PURCHASING THE TWO CARDIAC MONITORS.

I THINK IT CAME DOWN TO, EXCUSE ME, UH, $114,000.

THAT'S ABOUT THE PRICE.

INITIALLY WE HAD APPROVED 140,000 FOR THE ONE CARDIAC MONITOR AND, UH, THE REPLACEMENT OF THE 2014 TAHOE.

SO WITH THAT, EXCUSE ME, MY RECOMMENDATION WAS TO GET THE TWO CARDIAC MONITORS, UH, ELECTRONIC SAFE THAT WE NEED TO FOR OUR NARCOTICS MM-HMM .

TO BE ABLE TO LOCK AND KEEP ELECTRONIC CONTROL OVER 'EM.

'CAUSE ANYBODY, RIGHT NOW, WE JUST HAVE A CODE, WE PUNCH IN WITH A CAMERA TO WATCH.

UH, WITH THIS ELECTRONIC SAFE, THEY'RE GONNA, EACH EMPLOYEE WILL HAVE NUMBERS THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT IN.

IT HAS ELECTRONIC TRACKING.

I CAN LOOK TO MAKE SURE WHO'S GOT IN, WHO TOOK WHAT OUT AND ASPECTS LIKE THAT.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE STATE RECOMMENDS THAT WE HAVE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT TO THE, UH, BUDGET, WHICH WOULD BE 32 11 30 THEN, EXCUSE ME, 32.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THE 14 K PLUS, OR I'M SORRY, 114 K FOR THE TWO AND THEN THE 32 11 FOR THE, UH, SPECIAL SAFE.

THE SAFE.

AND WE HAD ORIGINALLY BUDGETED 140,000 PLUS THE PRICE OF A TAHOE.

NO, THE TAHOE WAS IN THAT A HUNDRED, IN THAT THOUSAND HUNDRED 40.

YES, MA'AM.

SO IT'S THEN THE ONE VEHICLE WAS 140? NO, THE ONE VEHICLE WOULD'VE BEEN 90,000.

OH, OKAY.

AND, AND THEN THE CARDIAC MONITOR, ONE CARDIAC MONITOR WAS BUDGETED FOR, FOR 50,000, WHICH WASN'T ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THE CARDIAC MONITOR.

SO IT WOULD'VE BEEN MORE THAN THAT.

ARE YOU LOOKING AT 57 FOR THE, UH, 50 70 60 CARDIAC MONITOR? YES, SIR.

57 A PIECE.

I, I THINK ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY HERE AS WELL IS THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE NOW THAT WE DID NOT HAVE AT THE TIME THAT Y'ALL, UM, APPROVED THE ORIGINAL BUDGET IS A NEW SUPERVISOR.

AND WHAT WE DID IS WE TOOK THAT THE, THE THREE ROLES THAT THAT GENTLEMAN HAD BEFORE AND BROKE IT INTO TWO THOSE THREE ROLES AND BROKEN INTO TWO PEOPLE, WHICH NOW WE NEED AN EXTRA CAR.

ACTUALLY WHAT WE NEED AS OPPOSED TO THESE ITEMS. AND SO HERE HE IS EXPLAINING AND, AND, AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH WHERE THAT MONEY WOULD, WOULD BE REALLOCATED AS OPPOSED TO JUST SAYING, WELL, THEY GAVE US 140 GRAND, WE'LL SPEND IT ON WHAT WE WANT.

BUT THAT'LL BE DISCUSSED, UM, YOU KNOW, FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT WHAT HE DID IS CHIEF ROBBINS, WHEN HE FIRST LOOKED AT IT, SAID, WELL, WAIT A SECOND, WE DON'T NEED AN EXTRA CAR.

AN EMS, WHICH IS WHAT Y'ALL ASKED FOR, WAS A CAR OF EMS. WHAT WE DO NEED, WHICH MAKES MORE SENSE, ARE THESE THINGS, THE NARCOTICS SAFE.

ONE THING THAT WE HAVEN'T REALLY DISCUSSED ACTUALLY PUT US IN A BIND FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

PART OF THE REASON WHY THE FORMER EMS DIRECTOR IS NO LONGER WITH US, WE'VE CLARIFIED THAT, WE'VE CLEANED IT UP, THANK YOU CHIEF ROBBINS FOR SOME OF THE STUFF THAT HE DID.

AND IN THAT REPORT BASICALLY CAME, HEY, THIS IS

[00:15:01]

NO, I APPRECIATE THAT.

UM, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'LL BE SAVING US $103,000 AND TWO OR $103,211 FROM WHAT WE BUDGETED, CORRECT? ROUGHLY.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S CORRECT.

NO, MA'AM.

I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF ME, BUT SO THE BUDGETING, UM, WHAT I HAVE DOWN HERE IS THE TWO CARDIAC MONITORS WOULD BE $114,273 AND 62 CENTS.

THAT'S WHAT THE COST OF THOSE ARE.

UM, THEN THE SAFE IS 3,211.

AND THE ONE THAT I HAVEN'T GOT TO WOULD BE THE LARYNGOSCOPES.

SO, UH, THE VIDEO LARYNGOSCOPES THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY, THEY ALLOW US TO INTUBATE PATIENTS, UH, PUT A TUBE DOWN THEIR THROAT SO WE CAN BREATHE FOR 'EM IF THEY'RE IN RESPIRATORY DISTRESS.

UH, THE RECOMMENDATION OR THE STANDARD OF CARE CURRENTLY AT THIS TIME IS A VIDEO SO YOU CAN SEE BETTER.

'CAUSE ONCE YOU GET IN THERE, IF YOU HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED ONE, SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T SEE WITH THE VIDEO ONES, IT'S GOT A SCREEN ON IT, WE CAN SEE IT, WE CAN GET IN THERE A LOT EASIER.

THE ONES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, THEY DON'T MAKE THE PARTS FOR 'EM ANYMORE.

MM-HMM .

UH, THEY GOT BLADES THAT GET, UM, GETS PUT ON THEM AND THEY, WE CAN'T PURCHASE THEM.

SO WE HAVE TO GET NEW ONES.

UNDERSTOOD.

MANY.

AND HOW MUCH ARE THOSE? HOW MANY? HOW MANY, HOW MANY OF THOSE? AND HOW MUCH ARE THOSE? TWO OF THEM WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO OF THEM FOR ONE, FOR EACH OF OUR BOXES, FOR EACH OF OUR AMBULANCES.

UH, AND THERE ARE TH UH, TOTAL FOR BOTH OF THEM WOULD BE 3,990 AND 30 CENTS.

3000 WHAT? FOR $3,990 AND 30 CENTS FOR BOTH OF THEM COMBINED.

SO WE'RE STILL SAVING MONEY.

AM I WRONG AT THIS TIME FOR ALL OF THAT? IS MY MATH WRONG, MATT? WE'RE STILL LIKE, YES, WE WERE AT A HUNDRED.

THERE IS, THERE WOULD BE AN EXCESS THERE.

AND I, AND I, AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME NEEDS THAT HE WOULD REQUEST TO UTILIZE THAT MONEY FOR IF POSSIBLE AS WELL.

SO WITH TOTAL OF THAT WOULD BE $123,474 WITH SAVINGS AND CHANGE IS 18,525 FOR THOSE FOUR ASPECTS.

LIKE, UH, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, POSSIBILITY FOR, FOR, UH, FUTURE THINGS RIGHT.

THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ALSO, UH, MY BIGGEST DEAL IS MAKING SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY TAKEN CARE OF AND THE PATIENTS ARE, UH, RESIDENTS GET THE BEST CARE THAT WE CAN GIVE THEM AND HAVE THE TOOLS TO PROVIDE THAT CARE.

AND MS. SARAH, WHAT LINE ITEM DOES THIS? IS THIS PENCILED TO DO YOU OR IS IT JUST OUR GENERAL FUND? NO, IT'S THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

CAPITAL.

I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION IF ANYONE HAS ONE.

GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT.

EXCUSE ME.

PARDON ME.

GO AHEAD.

WE GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT, BUT I, I DID HAVE A A DO WE WANNA DO THAT UNDER DISCUSSION OR, I HAD A QUESTION ON, ON THE V LINE ITEM WAS 450,000 AND HOW MANY VEHICLES WAS THAT FOR? FOUR.

FOUR.

SO THAT'S A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND A VEHICLE.

THE PD UP FITTING IS, AND NOW WE'RE ONLY GONNA BUY THREE.

I THINK YOU COULD JUST RESTATE THE, UH, AGENDA ITEM AS A MOTION AND THAT WOULD SUFFICE.

WELL, OKAY.

YOU MIGHT JUST STAB IT.

YEAH, I, IF YOU WANT ME TO, I, I WOULD MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF THE, UM, BUDGETARY ADJUSTMENTS TO ALLOW THE, UH, EMERGENCY SERVICES TO UPDATE THEIR EQUIPMENT AS REQUESTED.

AND I CAN GIVE THE, YEAH, I'LL GIVE THE SUM.

I MEAN, THE ESTIMATED SUM IS WHAT, 123,407 $4? IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH.

AND DR.

AND WE NEED TO LIST MR. BLACK A SECOND.

I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK IT'S JUST A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.

REALLOCATION, RIGHT.

AND MR. BLACKSHEAR SECONDED.

SO, ALL IN FAVOR OR ANY DISCUSSION? ALRIGHT.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT A PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING REQUESTS FOR DMD FUNDING.

OKAY, ITEM SEVEN B.

THANK YOU GUYS.

[00:20:01]

UM, CONSIDERATION

[7.B Consideration and possible action to adopt a procedure for handling requests for DMD funding.]

SO I HAD ASKED FOR THIS, UM, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE REQUESTS ARE COMING IN AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT MEETING THEIR REQUIREMENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR THE COMMUNITY IMPACT OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT THE STATE STATUE IS SAYING.

SO RATHER THAN WASTE THE PUBLIC'S TIME TO COME AND PUT IT ON AN AGENDA ITEM FOR US TO JUST DENY IT WHEN WE DON'T HAVE FUNDS DEDICATED TO, TO GIVE TO THIS EITHER, UH, IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET, UM, JUST WANTED TO KIND OF HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH YOU ALL.

DO WE STILL WANT EVERY SINGLE APPLICATION THAT COMES TO THE CITY TO COME BEFORE THIS BODY? OR IS, ARE THERE SOME GUARDRAILS OR POLICY PROCEDURE WE COULD PUT IN PLACE WHERE STAFF COULD SCREEN SAY WHETHER OR NOT IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS AND THEN COMES TO US IF IT DOES? AND SO THIS, THIS DISCUSSION KIND OF, UH, COMBINES WITH THE DISCUSSION OF THE NEXT ITEM.

WHICH IS KIND OF TO REVISIT, UH, BYLAWS.

UM, BUT, UM, I DID HAVE APPLIC A, A, A CONVERSATION WITH BOARD PRESIDENT SKI, UH, THE BOARD DID SOME TIME AGO, UH, MAKE THE DECISION THAT IT WANTED TO SEE EVERY SINGLE FUNDING REQUEST FUNDING APPLICATION THAT WAS SUBMITTED.

UH, AND THAT'S HOW WE'VE BEEN DOING IT.

UH, BUT THE THOUGHT, OR A SUGGESTION I HAD IS THAT, UH, WE HAVE THIS DISCUSSION AND SEE IF THE BOARD WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HAVING A PROCEDURE WHEREBY, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, I PERFORM LIKE A SCREENING FOR JUST MEETING THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

AND THOSE THAT I FEEL DO NOT, THOSE THAT ARE TO ME, LIKE KIND OF ON THE FENCE, I WOULD SAY THEY SHOULD GO TO THE BOARD.

BUT THOSE TO ME THAT I LOOK AT THAT I'M LIKE, GOSH, THIS JUST DOES NOT, YOU KNOW, MEET THE CRITERIA, THEN I WOULD, UM, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT IT NOT GO TO THE BOARD.

NOW, UH, I BELIEVE THAT EVERY SINGLE FUNDING REQUEST SHOULD CODE TO THE BOARD SEPARATELY ANYWAY.

SO THE BOARD IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE AWARE OF ALL OF THE FUNDING REQUESTS.

WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT WHICH OF THOSE REQUESTS ACTUALLY MAKE IT ONTO A BOARD MEETING AGENDA TO HAVE DISCUSSION AND, AND, AND, AND SPEND THAT TIME TO, TO, TO LOOK AT.

BUT THEN THAT WAY, IF THERE IS A, UH, A REQUEST THAT I MAKE THE CALL THAT I DON'T THINK THIS MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS AT ALL, THE BOARD WILL STILL HAVE SEEN THE REQUEST.

AND, AND A SUGGESTION I HAD IS HAVE A PROCEDURE THAT WE ADOPT, YOU KNOW, IN, IN A REVISED BYLAWS THAT WOULD ALLOW ANY TWO MEMBER OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD TO ASK THAT ANYTHING BE PUT ON THE AGENDA, INCLUDING A FUNDING REQUEST THAT I HAD GIVEN MY INITIAL SCREENING AND SAID, I DON'T THINK THIS MEETS THE, THE CRITERIA.

AND SO, SO THAT WAS JUST ONE SUGGESTION.

THIS DISCUSSION HERE IS FOR THE BOARD TO KICK ALL IDEAS AROUND.

UH, I'M HOPING AT THE END OF IT TO HAVE SOME GUIDANCE SUCH THAT I CAN START DRAFTING, UH, PUTTING TOGETHER A DOCUMENT, A PROCEDURE, UH, MY THOUGHTS ON IT, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY, UM, IN OUR MINDS, IF IT'S QUESTIONABLE WHETHER IT'S LEGAL OR NOT, WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO, UH, DEFER TO YOUR OPINION.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE'RE GONNA ASK YOU, IS THIS COVERED? IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED IN THIS MEETING TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW, SO I THINK IT MAKES SENSE, YOU KNOW, FOR YOU TO, UH, OR THE, YOU KNOW, CITY ATTORNEY TO REVIEW THE, THE, UH, LEGALITY OF THE REQUEST PER CURRENT STATE AND LOCAL LAW.

SO, YOU KNOW, AND I, AND I AGREE, I, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD PROBABLY STILL WANT TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S COMING THROUGH THE, THE MILL, BUT NOT TO THE POINT OF WHERE IT CONFUSES THE ISSUE WITH .

YOU KNOW, I GUESS, I GUESS IT'S THE FACT THAT IF IT SHOWS UP ON THE AGENDA, THEN IT'S BEEN REVIEWED AND DETERMINED, YOU KNOW, THAT WE LEGALLY, UH, CAN CONSIDER THIS OR TO BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ASKED THAT IT COULD BE PUT ON.

SEVEN D UH, SPEAKS TO ESTABLISHING TERM LIMITS.

BUT, AND, AND, AND THAT TO ME WOULD BE PART OF REVISED BYLAWS.

'CAUSE RIGHT NOW THE BYLAWS DON'T SPEAK TO HOW ITEMS GET PLACED ON A BOARD AGENDA.

AND I THINK THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE BYLAWS.

YOU KNOW, SO IT'S, IT'S VERY CLEAR.

I NOTICED THAT WE DON'T HAVE A, UM, AGENDA ITEM FOR BYLAWS.

WE HAVE A, THE UPDATE, THE APPLICATION FOR FUNDING.

I SUPPOSE IT COULD BE, COULD IT BE IN THE APPLICATION LANGUAGE AND NOT BYLAWS? UH, THE ITEM

[00:25:01]

UH, SO THAT WOULD BE A CHANGE OF THE BYLAWS.

AND WE CAN JUST INCORPORATE WITH THAT, MA'AM.

THAT'S WHERE, GOT IT.

WHERE PREVIOUSLY THERE HAD BEEN A TERM LIMIT, BUT IT WAS TOO SHORT, AND SO IT WAS TAKEN OUT, UH, BY A PREVIOUS BOARD.

SO IT, IT'S THAT BYLAW DISCUSSION.

YES, MA'AM.

SO I LIKE EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN HEARING, BUT I ALSO LIKE FULL DOCUMENTATION AND I, I WASN'T SURE WHAT YOU WERE GONNA END UP WITH ON THE PROCEDURE, BUT I'D, I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE ALSO THAT, THAT WE PROCEDURALIZE EVERY, EVERYTHING THAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, BUT THEN THERE ALSO BE SOME TYPE OF CHECKLIST FOR THE DECISION THAT YOU MADE, WHY YOU MADE THIS DECISION, UH, OF, OF, OF THOSE ITEMS THAT YOU FIRST WENT ACROSS OR THAT THAT, THAT YOU AND AMY FIRST TALKED ABOUT FOR THE ONE EARLIER, AND THEN ALSO A CHECKLIST ITEM FOR IF TWO MEMBERS REQUESTED IT TO BE ON THE AGENDA AFTER YOU HAD DETERMINED IT NOT TO GO TO THE AGENDA.

SO ESSENTIALLY IT SOUNDS LIKE A ROUTING FORM ON TOP OF THE APPLICATION FOR INTERNAL USE, RIGHT? FULL DO, YEAH.

I'M NOT FULL DOCUMENTATION.

TRUE.

AND THAT, THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE, UH, MY INTENTION THAT, UH, IF THROUGH THAT SCREENING PROCESS, IF THIS WERE ADOPTED, UH, I FIND THAT, YOU KNOW, AN APPLICATION DOES NOT MEET MUSTER, THAT WE WOULD AT LEAST DO THE COURTESY OF SENDING THE APPLICANT A WRITTEN REPLY.

ABSOLUTELY, YES.

YOU KNOW, LETTING THE APPLICANT KNOW WHY, YOU KNOW, WE FIND THAT IT DOESN'T MEET MUSTER AND, AND IT WOULD BE ALONG THOSE LINES, SIR, YOU KNOW, A, A FORM THAT STATES CLEARLY THE REASON WHY AND, AND SERVES AS DOCUMENTATION THAT WE WOULD PUT, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT REQUEST IN THE FILE SO THAT WE KNOW HOW THAT REQUEST WAS DISPOSED OF.

I LIKE IT.

SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN OPINION BASED IN LEGAL FINDING? UH, YES, SIR.

ABSOLUTELY.

IT, IT WON'T BE A, NOT REALLY A, IT WON'T BE A LONG OPINION.

THAT WORKS.

WHENEVER, YEAH.

SOMETHING TO JUST DOCUMENT THAT'S A WRITTEN, THAT'S RIGHT.

A WRITTEN OPINION ON, UH, THERE WOULD BE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION.

YES, SIR.

MAY I MAKE AN ADDITIONAL, UM, THOUGHT ABOUT THE DURATION, OR AT LEAST THE SCHEDULING OF WHEN YOU WOULD WANT TO ACCEPT THESE APPLICATIONS? YEAH, I KNOW THAT OBVIOUSLY ON THE COVER OF THE APPLICATION, IT HAS THOSE, DISCUSS THAT DATES.

I'LL LET YOU GET THERE THEN, BUT I JUST, JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP IF YOU'RE GONNA GET THERE.

I'LL LET, I'M SORRY.

NO, IT'S OKAY.

I THINK IT'S, IT'S GOOD TIMING.

I, I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S IN THE DISCUSSION OF THE APPLICATION, YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR OR THE LA THE PREVIOUS BOARD HAD DECIDED TO EX RECEIVE AND REVIEW APPLICATIONS DURING A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD.

AND APPLICATIONS HAVE COME IN OUTSIDE OF THAT AND WE'VE LET 'EM COME IN.

SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF PUTTING IT ON THE APPLICATION, RIGHT? YEAH.

WE'RE EITHER GONNA DO WHAT WE ARE REQUIRING THEM TO DO OR WE'RE JUST GONNA REMOVE IT FROM THE APPLICATION ALTOGETHER.

I MEAN, IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR US AS STAFF TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF IT DID NOT GET SUBMITTED DURING THE TIMELINE THAT'S PUT INTO THE BYLAWS, THEN WE WOULD SAY, UH, YOU MISSED THE TIMELINE, APPLY AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

YEP.

I LIKE IT.

WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FUNDS FOR.

I MEAN, MY THOUGHTS ON, ON THAT GO BACK TO, UH, REPORTING AS WELL, YOU KNOW, IN A TIMELY MANNER.

I, I CAN'T RECALL EXACTLY IS IT LIKE 30 DAYS THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO REPORT THAT? UH, YEAH.

IT, SO YEAH, THAT WAS, UH, IT NARROWS IT DOWN TO, UH, UH, I FEELING THAT LANGUAGE WAS REMOVED FROM HERE TOO, BECAUSE THE LAST APPLICATION HAD A PART IN IT THAT SAID, IF YOU'RE REQUESTING FUNDS AGAIN, HAVE YOU PROVIDED YOUR REPORT FROM THE PREVIOUS? AND I THINK THAT'S MISSING ON THIS APPLICATION.

THE REVISION THAT WE, THE LAST REVISION THAT WE DID, IT GOT LEFT OFF, BUT THE, THE PROCESS OR OR PROCEDURE FOR REVIEW OF THOSE TYPE OF REPORTS AND RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS I KNOW, RIGHT.

DO THEY COME HERE AND GIVE A PRESENTATION WITH A SLIDESHOW? DO THEY TURN IN RECEIPTS AND P AND LS? WHAT IS IT? RIGHT? AND THEN THAT BRINGS UP ANOTHER THING TOO, IS THAT IT'S VERY NARROW IN WHAT'S REQUIRED THAT, UM, IF AN ORGANIZATION REQUESTS, UH, A CERTAIN DOLLAR AMOUNT, THEY SAY THEY'RE GONNA SPEND, SPEND IT ON, UH, HOT DOGS AND BUNS AND JUMP HOUSES AND, AND, UH, ALL OF THAT, THAT MAY TAKE CARE OF

[00:30:01]

BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY GIVE A, A, A, A OVERVIEW OF A GROWTH OF THE EVENT, AN OVERALL PICTURE OF, YOU KNOW, ARE WE, ARE WE TOTALLY FUNDING YOUR FOOD BUDGET? RIGHT? WHAT'S THE BUD OVERALL BUDGET FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT? WHAT ARE YOUR EXPENDITURES? WHAT ARE YOUR RECEIPTS? WHAT WAS YOUR, UH, WHAT WAS YOUR GATE RECEIPTS? WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHERE, WHERE DO WE FIT IN AS TAXPAYERS IN, INTO YOUR, YOUR REQUEST? YOU KNOW, AND WELL, I THINK, UH, WITH THE ITEM THAT WE'RE ON CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT A PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING REQUESTS FOR THE DMD, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE ALL ON BOARD WITH THAT AND HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT WE GAVE TO NIM.

SO I ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THAT, AND THEN WE CAN MOVE TO THE APPLICATION.

ACTUALLY, IT WON'T BE NO NEED FOR A MOTION.

SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE PROCEDURES IN FRONT OF Y'ALL TO ADOPT YET.

THIS DISCUSSION HAS BEEN HELPFUL.

SO JUST DIRECT STAFF TO DEVELOP THE PROCEDURES TO BRING BACK.

I, I HAVE RECEIVED THAT DIRECTION.

NEXT TIME I'LL BRING BACK A PROPOSED, UH, SET OF PROCEDURES AND I SHALL, I'LL SEND IT TO THE BOARD BEFOREHAND SO YOU GUYS HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO LOOK AT IT.

THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM.

MAKE SURE THAT'S IN A MINUTE, SAM .

SEVEN C, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO REVIEW AND UPDATE THE APPLICATION FOR FUNDING.

ITEM

[7.C. Consideration and possible action review and update the application for funding.]

I'M GONNA TAKE, UM, LITTLE PRESIDENT'S P PRIVILEGE HERE.

SO THE PREVIOUS COMMUNITY THAT I WORKED FOR, THEY HAD MORE TOURISM DOLLARS COMING INTO THEIR CITY THAN WHAT DICKINSON DOES.

I THINK, WHAT IS OURS, MISS SARAH? SHE'S STILL IN HERE, LIKE 30,000 OR IT'S IN OUR BUDGET AND IT'S, AND THAT'S ALL WE GET.

AND WE GIVE IT ALL TO THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS.

UM, IN THE CITY THAT I MOVED HERE FROM, THEY ACTUALLY, THE TOURISM DOLLARS, THE HOT TAX DOLLARS GOES TO A TOURISM COMMISSION THAT WAS SET UP BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

AND THEN THROUGH THAT TOURISM COMMISSION THERE IS A GRANT AND MARKETING SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM APPLICATION.

UM, I BROUGHT A PRINTOUT WITH ME AND DAVID FUNK HAD ACTUALLY SHARED, I HAD SHARED IT WITH HIM.

HE'S THE EDC DIRECTOR AND HE SHARED IT WITH SOME CITY STAFF.

SO THEY'VE SEEN THIS.

BUT, UM, ESSENTIALLY IT, IT, UM, DECIDE DESCRIBES WHAT THE PROGRAM OF THE TOURISM COMMISSION IS AND WHAT THIS MARKETING AND SPONSORSHIP APPLICATION IS FOR.

IT GIVES YOU A CERTAIN DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT YOU CAN, UH, REQUEST BASED ON DIFFERENT THINGS.

THEY HAVE A VISIT SUN PRAIRIE GRANT PROGRAM FOR UP TO 5,000 PER CALENDAR YEAR, OR A MARKETING SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM FOR UP TO 5,000 PER CALENDAR YEAR.

AND AN APPLICANT CAN SUBMIT ONE COMBINED TO GET BOTH OF THOSE FOR UP TO 10,000.

THEY HAVE A SUBMISSION DEADLINE, THEY HAVE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE PROGRAMS MUST BE DESIGNED AND PROMOTED WITH THE INTENTION OF GENERATING OVERNIGHT STAYS IN SUN PRAIRIE 'CAUSE HOT TAX ARE SPECIFICALLY TIED TO OVERNIGHT STAYS, UM, AND THE SPENDING OF THAT AND OTHER, UM, ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.

AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE A FORM THAT ONCE THE, UM, EVENT IS COMPLETE WITHIN 30 OR WITHIN 45 DAYS OF THE EVENT, OR BY NOVEMBER 30, AND THEY MAY DO THE INPUT BELOW AND THEY'VE GOTTA DO THEIR, THE PROJECT NAME, THE ATTENDANCE BY DAY, THE MARKETING OUTCOMES, FUTURE PLANS, AND THEN THEY HAVE A CHECKLIST OF PRO PROJECTED, THE STAYS THAT THEY PROJECTED IN THE HOTELS, THE ACTUAL HOTEL STAYS, AND THEN OTHER OVERNIGHT STAYS.

THEY ASK FOR A EXPENSE SUMMARY, UH, WITH ACTUALS INCLUDED RECEIPTS ATTACHED AND MARKETING MATERIALS TO BE SUBMITTED.

AND THEN BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT'S SUBMITTED, THAT'S WHEN THEY AWARD THE MONEY.

SO THEY ALMOST, I THINK THEY AWARD HALF BEFORE AND THEN HALF AFTER, WHETHER OR NOT IT MET THE REQUIREMENTS.

SO I KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT JUST HOT TAGS DOLLARS AND THE, THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE'RE RECEIVING, BUT THERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC THINGS WITHIN THE STATE STATUTE THAT WE HAVE TO MEET.

AND I WOULD JUST ASK THAT THOSE THINGS ARE CONSIDERED WHEN WE ADOPT THIS NEW APPLICATION THAT WE'RE GONNA WORK THROUGH AND CREATE.

DID, DID I HEAR YOU CORRECT IN, IN SAYING THAT YOU COULD PAY HALF UP FRONT AND THEN WHEN THEY PROVIDE THE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE BOARD SEEKS, THEN YOU'LL GET THE OTHER HALF, WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ENCOURAGE THEM TO BRING IN, HAVE MET THE EVENT, HAS TO HAVE MET THE, THE GOALS THAT IT WAS SET TO MEET, ESPECIALLY WITH THE OVERNIGHT, YOU KNOW, SALES.

I THINK IN OUR SITUATION, JUST ASKING FOR THAT FINANCIAL REPORT 30 DAYS AFTER THE EVENT WAS OVER, YOU KNOW, OR

[00:35:01]

PRIOR, I THINK OUR APPLICA, A PREVIOUS APPLICATION SAID PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION OF AN, A NEW RELEASE REQUEST FOR FUNDS.

THE OTHER THING TOO IS AFTER A PERIOD OF YEARS, THEY STOPPED GIVING TO THAT SPECIFIC ORGANIZATION BECAUSE YOU SHOULD HAVE GROWN YOUR PROGRAM TO SELF SUSTAIN BY THAT TIME AS WELL, WHICH GOES TO WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, MR. DIETZ.

AND I JUST HAD SOME COMMENTS ON THE APP.

CURRENT APPLICATION, YOU KNOW, UH, COMPLETED APPLICATION FORMS AND ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION MUST BE SUBMITTED IN PERSON OR BY MAIL TO THE DMD.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE DO THAT.

UM, I KNOW, I THINK THEY CAN DO IT ELECTRONICALLY BY EMAIL AS WELL.

IS THAT CORRECT OR DOES, DO MOST OF THE APPLICATIONS COME IN PERSON OR BY MAIL? ? I'VE ALWAYS RECEIVED MINE, UH, FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT THROUGH EMAIL.

UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW WOW.

HE USED TO RECEIVE THEM, BUT SEE, YOU KNOW, I NOTICED, UH, WHEN I WENT TO PULL THE SUN PRAIRIE, UH, UH, APPLICATION AND INFORMATION, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A FILLABLE FORM ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT YOU COULD FILL ALL THIS INFORMATION THERE OR YOU COULD DOWNLOAD THE PDF AND FILL IT OUT AND TURN IT IN THERE.

DO WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF CREATE, WHEN WE CREATE THIS NEW APPLICATION OF MAKING IT A FILLABLE FORM ON THE WEBSITE, AND THEN EVERYBODY JUST GETS AN EMAIL NOTIFICATION THAT A FORM'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO MAKE IT EASIER ON APPLICANTS? CURRENTLY, WE, WE DO HAVE, UM, OUR PROGRAM THAT WHERE THE, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, THE, UM, FOR THE APPLICATIONS FOR A PLACE ON THE BOARD, ONCE YOU FILL THAT OUT, IT DOES COME TO CERTAIN PEOPLE, IT GOES TO HR AND NOW IT COMES TO ME.

UM, SO THAT, THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE CAPABLE OF.

COOL.

I, I'D SUGGEST THAT ONCE WE GET THIS NEW APPLICATION SET, THAT THAT FOLLOWS THAT PROCEDURE AS WELL.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY INPUT ON THE APPLICATION, THOUGHTS, CHANGES? I NOTICED, YOU KNOW, IT'S WHEN DID, WHEN DID JOHNNY SIMPSON COME OFF THIS BOARD? BUT HIS NAME IS STILL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE APPLICATION, SO WE GOTTA THAT'S DEFINITE FIX.

UM, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WANNA HANDLE THIS.

IF YOU GUYS HAD ACTUAL, LIKE, THINGS YOU WANTED TO RECOMMEND, OR DO YOU WANT ME TO WORK WITH STAFF AND CREATE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD BRING TO THE NEXT MEETING FOR APPROVAL? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A EXCELLENT IDEA TO, SINCE YOU HAVE SOME IN DEPTH EXPERIENCE IN THIS PROCESS, UM, IF YOU CAN GET TOGETHER WITH STAFF, WE CAN DISCUSS IT AT OUR NEXT MEETING AND VOTE ON IT.

THAT WOULD BE, I THINK, APPROPRIATE.

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ESTABLISH TERM LIMITS FOR THE DICKINSON MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.

I LIKE IT.

ALL RIGHT, MR. DEETS.

GOOD WITH YOU? ABSOLUTELY.

OKAY, AWESOME.

ALRIGHT, MOVING ON.

ITEM SEVEN D,

[7.D. Consideration and possible action to establish term limits for the Dickinson Management District No. 1 Board of Directors consistent with the term limits applicable to the City of Dickinson City Council.]

NUMBER ONE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, CONSISTENT WITH THE TERM LIMITS APPLICABLE TO THE CITY OF DICKINSON CITY COUNCIL.

DO YOU WANT A MOTION FOR DISCUSSION OR CAN WE YEAH, LET'S DO MOTION FOR DISCUSSION AND THEN DISCUSS, LET'S FOLLOW ROBERT'S ROBERT'S RULES.

A THREE YEAR GAP TO A ONE YEAR GAP.

SO I'M, I, UH, MOVE THAT WE, UH, UH, ESTABLISHED TERM LIMITS FOR MEMBERS OF, UH, THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT BOARD, UH, TO BE CONSISTENT WITH, UH, THE TERM LIMITS ESTABLISHED FOR CITY, UH, OF DICKINSON CITY COUNCIL.

MM-HMM .

SO THAT WOULD MEAN THREE CONSECUTIVE TERMS. DO I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY? YEAH.

THAT COMES UP UNDER DISCUSSION.

'CAUSE IT'S ON THE BALLOT TOO, RIGHT? TO CHANGE? UH, NO, ACTUALLY IT, IT, IT, IT IS NOT CHANGING.

NO, SIR.

NO, IT, THAT, THAT MEASURE, UM, WOULD NOT CHANGE THE NUMBER OF, OF TERMS THAT A, UH, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER CAN SERVE, BUT RATHER IT SPEAKS TO THE LENGTH OF THE REQUIRED GAP IN TIME, UH, IN BETWEEN COLUMN 10 YEARS OR STINTS ON THE COUNCIL.

BECAUSE THE TERM LIMITS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL IS NOT A, A LIFETIME TERM LIMIT.

LIKE YOU COULD SERVE THREE TERMS AND THAT'S IT EVER.

IT'S, YOU CAN SERVE BASICALLY NO MORE, YOU CAN BE ELECTED TO KNOW MORE THAN THREE FULL TERMS CONSECUTIVE.

SO IF YOU HAVE YEAH, THREE FULL CONSECUTIVE TERMS, SO YOU SERVE THREE FULL CONSECUTIVE TERMS, YOU STEP OFF FOR X LENGTH OF TIME, THEN YOU CAN DO ANOTHER THREE, FOUR CONSECUTIVE AND THAT'S WHAT IS ON THE BALLOT.

IS THAT LENGTH OF TIME IN BETWEEN THE YES MA'AM.

RIGHT? CORRECT.

IT'S, IT'S, THE PROPOSAL IS TO SHORTEN IT FROM

[00:40:01]

IT WOULD BE A, UH, DO YOU WANT ME TO CLARIFY MY MOTION? NO, I THINK IF YOU SAY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT CITY COUNCIL IS, IS GOING, IT'S THREE YEAR THREE YEAR TERM, WELL, THREE YEAR TERMS OR THREE THREE.

NO, THREE TERMS. THREE MORE THAN THREE TERMS, THREE YEAR TERMS, RIGHT? IS WHAT COUNSEL IS, CORRECT? YEAH.

CAN I GET A SECOND? ONE SECOND.

SO, ALRIGHT, ANY DISCUSSION IF I CAN, IF I CAN MAKE A SUGGESTION, LIKE RATHER THAN TAKING THIS VOTE AND JUST ESTABLISHING, UH, THOSE TERM LIMITS KIND OF VERBALLY WITHOUT LIKE A SET OF REVISED BYLAWS IN FRONT OF YOU WITH THE WORDS ACTUALLY WRITTEN ON THEM.

UH, IF THE BOARD DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THERE'S ANY RUSH TO DO THIS, THEN WE CAN WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING WHERE WE HAVE SOME PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE BYLAWS.

THIS CHANGE CAN BE ONE OF THOSE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

RIGHT? SO YEAH, I WAS GONNA BRING THAT UP UNDER DISCUSSION.

UH, UH, AS WELL AS I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THE, UH, WHAT THE BYLAWS STATED IN REGARD TO TERM LIMITS.

UH, RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NO TERM LIMITS IN HOUSE.

NO, I HAVE THAT, BUT PRIOR TO THERE NOT BEING TERM LIMITS, THERE WERE TERM LIMITS.

CORRECT.

SO, AND I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHAT, WHAT WAS DONE AWAY WITH THE TERM LIMITS.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE TERM LIMITS WERE? YES, I KNOW THE TERM LIMITS.

YES.

NO MORE THAN TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS. NO MORE THAN TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS. YES SIR.

SO THERE NEEDS TO BE, UH, DO I NEED TO CHANGE MY MOTION? NO, I THINK WE COULD.

OR IF YOU'RE WANTING IT TO, WELL, IT, IT DEPENDS.

DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR MOTION? BECAUSE IF YOUR MOTION IS TO MATCH WHAT THE COUNCIL DOES, WELL NO, I WANT MADE THE CORRECT MOTION, BUT WHAT I, I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO HAVE, UH, I'M WITH YOU IN THAT.

YOU GO AHEAD AND WRITE IT UP AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE CONSIDER IT FOR FORMAL APPROVAL.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE IN THAT BIG OF A HURRY TO DO IT.

YOU CAN CHANGE THAT MOTION TO MOTION TO AUTHORIZE A DIRECT STAFF TO DRAFT IN OUR MAY MEETING.

PARDON ME? MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS TO, OKAY, SO I AMENDMENT MOTION.

THAT MATCHED CITY COUNCILS.

YOU COMFORTABLE TO A, A AMENDING YOUR SECOND? I I WOULD, I WOULD SECOND THE AMENDMENT.

FANTASTIC.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OH, I'M SORRY.

DOCTOR OR MR. BLACKSHEAR.

TOO MANY SHEARS IN THIS ROOM.

, FROM MY RECOLLECTION OF MY RECOLLECTION OF WHENEVER WE REMOVED THE TERM LIMITS WAS COUNSEL INSTRUCTED US THAT WE COULD NOT HAVE THAT IN OUR BYLAWS.

HMM.

UH, IT IS A NUANCED POINT.

UH, WHAT I ADVISE THE BOARD THEN IS THAT THE BYLAW THAT CAPPED THE TERM LIMITS TO TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS, UH, WOULD BE INCONSISTENT OR IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE STATE LAW.

CHAPTER 3 75 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE GOING TO THREE WOULD BE OKAY.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE THAT EXPRESSLY SAYS THAT BOARD MEMBERS MAY SERVE SUCCESSIVE TERMS, PLURAL.

TWO TERMS I CONSTRUE AS THERE IS THE ORIGINAL TERM AND ONE SUCCESSIVE TERM.

SO IF YOU CAP IT AT TWO TOTAL, THEN YOU'RE SAYING THAT THAT BOARD MEMBER COULD ONLY SERVE ONE SUCCESSIVE TERM, WHICH CONFLICTS WITH STATE LAW SAYING THAT BOARD MEMBERS CAN SERVE CONSECUTIVE, I'M SORRY, SUCCESSIVE TERMS PLURAL.

IF WE DO IT AS THAT THE BOARD ADOPTS A TERM LIMIT OF THREE TOTAL, THEN YOU HAVE ONE ORIGINAL TERM, TWO SUCCESSIVE TERMS, AND THAT WOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW.

SOUNDS GOOD.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT, MOTION CARRIES.

E CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A FUNDING REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF DICKINSON FOR THE, THE REPAIR AND REHABILITATION OF THE ELECTRIC PANEL OF THE HISTORIC DEPOT BUILDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $15,282.

ANY DISCUSSION? UH, SARAH , WHICH, UM, WHICH LINE ITEM WOULD WE BE ABLE TO PULL THIS FROM IF, IF YOU WOULD HAPPEN TO KNOW

[00:45:01]

THIS WOULD ALSO NEED TO GO UNDER PROJECTS SLASH CAPITAL PROJECTS.

AND HOW ARE WE DOING ON THAT SEGMENT OF THE BUDGET THAT IS FULLY, UM, BUDGETED? WE, THAT'S THE LINE ITEM THAT WE DID DO A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS CONTINGENCY FOR, UM, EXTENSION NEEDS, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS LINE ITEM BUDGETED IN THAT.

SO THERE'S A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT YOU CAN, WE COULD USE FOR THESE REQUESTS THAT ARE IN FRONT OF US TODAY? CORRECT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SO THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE A BUDGET AMENDMENT? NO.

DOWN THE ROAD, NO.

NO, VERY GOOD.

JUST THE APPROVAL OF US.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION? YES.

UM, SO I NEED TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE BIDS.

THE, THE, THE THANK YOU SARAH.

THE, THE CONCERN WITH THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE.

UH, FIRST OFF, I WANNA GET THIS DONE, SO THANK YOU FOR OR AT LEAST INITIATING THIS PROCESS.

UM, THE CONCERN I HAVE IS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT MIGHT BE REVERSED BETWEEN THE AIR CONDITIONING AND THE, UM, AND THE ELECTRICAL PANEL.

UM, I NEED TO CONFIRM THAT.

SO, UH, LET ME LOOK REAL QUICK AT THESE QUOTES, THERE ARE MULTIPLE QUOTES.

I KNOW THAT THEY HAD RANGES AND SO THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT I REQUESTED WAS THE HIGHEST DOLLAR AMOUNT.

SO THAT NUMBER THAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE IS A TO IF, IF, IF UP TO THE BOARD APPROVES IT IS A UP TO, AND OBVIOUSLY WE'LL DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO SPEND LESS THAN THAT IF WE CAN.

UM, BUT LET ME DOUBLE CHECK AND SEE.

WE MAY WANT TO AMEND TO YOUR, UM, YOUR APPROVAL WITH A DIFFERENT DOLLAR AMOUNT.

SO LET ME CONFIRM REAL YOU THINK TO DO IS THE MATTERS OR DOES THE DOLLAR AMOUNT MATTER IN THOSE? YES.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT REVIEWING IT NOW? I'M LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW, YES, SIR.

CAN WE DELAY THIS LINE ITEM FOR SO YOU COULD, YES, YOU COULD GO RIGHT? YEAH.

DO YOU WANT US TO MOVE DOWN TO SEVEN G THEN, BECAUSE YOU'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THE AIR CONDITIONING? UH, WE COULD, BUT I DON'T, I MEAN, UM, I NEED TO GIVE A SECOND ON SEVEN G AS WELL.

JUST GO TO EIGHT.

UM, MAYBE GO TO SEVEN.

I COME BACK.

I CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE AN APPLICATION FOR LOAN OR GRANT OF PUBLIC MONEY FOR THE LITTLE ITALY FESTIVAL.

SEVEN

[7.I. Consideration and possible action to approve an Application for Loan or Grant of Public Money for the Little Italy Festival. ]

IS THERE ANYBODY HERE FROM WE DON'T ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE THIS APPLICATION.

UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'VE FILLED OUT THE PDF FORM AND SUBMITTED IT.

UH, THE GENTLEMAN DID EMAIL WALLY AND I, BUT I WAS ASSUMING THAT THAT WAS JUST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO AN APPLICATION THAT HE HAD SUBMITTED.

SO I DID REPLY TO HIS EMAIL THIS AFTERNOON AND SAID, MY APOLOGIES, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THIS IS YOUR APPLICA ACTUAL APPLICATION.

AND SO NOBODY HERE ON THE DIOCESE HAS SEEN THAT APPLICATION 'CAUSE IT'S ONLY EMAILED TO WALLY AND I, SO YEAH, I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T TAKE IT AS A, AN APPLICATION, BUT IT WAS, IT WAS JUST A CONVERSATION, ANYTHING LOBBY.

SO WE NEED TO WAIT FOR AN APPLICATION FOR THIS.

SO, UM, I GUESS WE DON'T NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THIS ITEM.

IF THERE'S NOT A MOTION, THEN NO, I, YOU, YOU HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL THAT SENT THAT TO YOU THAT THIS IS NOT A, WHAT YOU RECEIVED IS NOT THE CORRECT.

I DID.

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

AND I'LL FOLLOW UP TO, UM, MY GUESS IS IT'S NOT GOING TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR US TO FUND IT, BUT THAT'S A GUESS.

COULD BE WRONG.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE YOU WELL, WE CAN HAVE DISCUSSION WHILE WE'RE WAITING.

UH, YEAH, I MEAN IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS, THIS IS WHAT, UH, SARAH GAVE US ON, ON THE HISTORY.

OH YEAH.

OF, UH, THEY JUST KEEP ASKING FOR MORE AND MORE AND MORE.

15,000.

NOW THEY'RE UP TO 20.

SO WE GOT IT STRAIGHTENED OUT.

MATT? YES MA'AM.

IT'S, IT'S CORRECT.

THERE WAS JUST SOME CONFUSION.

ALRIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TABLE FOR SEVEN E.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

F, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A FUNDING REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF DICKINSON FOR THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENTS OF AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT OF THE HISTORIC DEPOT BUILDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $21,000.

SO IF YOU JUST SAY DISCUSSION ITEM.

WE HAVE, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT WITH THE APPROVAL JUST RECENTLY WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S VEHICLES, WE'RE GONNA GET A HAND-ME-DOWN.

AND SO IT'S, IT'S SMART FOR US TO USE THE HAND-ME-DOWN, UM, UNTIL THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE.

BUT I WANTED TO LEAVE IT ON HERE.

UM, PUT IT IN THERE AS TO HOLD THE SPOT AWAITING A QUOTE, WHICH TOOK A LITTLE WHILE AND IN THE TIME THAT WE WERE AWAITING THE QUOTE, WE FOUND OUT THAT HEY, WAIT A SECOND PD ME EXTRA VEHICLE.

SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET THAT VEHICLE WHICH WILL F FULFILL THE OEM POSITION.

RIGHT? OKAY.

THEN WE'LL ASK FOR A VEHICLE IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND.

UM, JUST TO REMIND YOU, UM, THE FORMER EMS DIRECTOR WAS FACILITIES E-M-S-O-E-M.

SO WE HAD ONE VEHICLE AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EMS BUDGET.

NOW WE HAVE AN OEM FACILITIES AND EMS AND SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE NEED FOR A NEW VEHICLE THAT WASN'T BUDGETED FOR.

UNDERSTOOD.

ANYTHING ELSE, GENTLEMEN? YEAH.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE DON'T NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THIS AND THEN WE DON'T NEED TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE CITIZEN EITHER.
