Please stand up for a moment to swear for prayer and nationality this morning while turning on the microphone. We will also have some time to meditate for our soldiers, police, and emergency services tonight. Thank you. I swear my loyalty to the Republic of China and the Republic of China. A nation under God. A nation that cannot be divided. A nation that has freedom and justice for all. Thank you. Senator Teresa, please check your attendance. Chancellor Hensley. Hello. Senator Davis.
Hello, Mr. Waterman. Hello, Mr. Hudson.
I'm here, too. And Mr. Molinardo and Mr. Seosu requested to attend today. Thank you very much.
The next case is an employee introduction. Mr. Spencer, who would you like to introduce?
Hello, hello. Tonight, we will introduce you to Kimberly Holmes. She joined on the first day of the first week of August. She came from New Berkshire and graduated from Oregon University. I don't remember what you were taught in 2018. Oh, you majored in PR and majoring in English.
Yes, she is our new business expert.
She is already adapting at a tremendous speed and is leading me in many ways. I'm really looking forward to it. Is there anything else you want to say? I'm really happy to be here. I'm happy to be able to contribute to Hami and I'm going to look around the city.
I'll have to take a look around the city in a moment. Yes, I'm so happy to be here. Nice to meet you all. What role did you play in Newberg?
Yes, I was in charge of public administration in the Public Business Department. Yes, yes. If you're getting used to your work so quickly, Spencer will definitely be grateful. Spencer is in charge of many roles. Yes, welcome to the team. Thank you for choosing us. It's really good.
It's not easy to take care of these children, but you did a great job.
All right. The next item is the citizen opinion hearing. It's time to make a public statement on any unsubstantiated or local social announcement. If you want to make a public statement on any unsubstantiated or local social announcement, please write a white card in the back row. You can make a public statement in three minutes if you submit it to the city authority or department authority. There is no card. Is there anyone who participates online? No. All right. Let's move on. There are no declarations or special announcements this evening. The sixth item is a consent form.
Mr. Mayor, we suggest that you approve the consent form, including the approval of the Senate meeting on July 15, 2026. Second, Chairman Hensley made a statement.
I was going to call you Paul, but the Waterman committee re-invited me. It is to approve the consent. It's taking a while this week. I've been planning for a week. July 15, 2026. It includes a regular meeting. Do you have a discussion or opinion? No. Who agrees? This is the first vote. Next is the request and resolution. Today is the 8th case of the night. They are all first-degree suspects. Request No. 1677 is a request to approve a cooperation improvement contract between the temporary city administrator Kami and Apex City to support $ 1952,618 for the UV disinfection project. Hello, Mr. Mayor. Hello again. How are you? Yes, I'm fine. How are you, Mr. Mayor? All right. Patrick, what are you talking about? Please wait a minute. Then would you like to start? I'm uploading the slide right now. Yes. Tonight, Mr. Mayor and all of you. And I'll tell you about the 1677 request. When I left my seat in August, I think it was August 15th. I gave you a brief briefing. This is a UV project. I'll explain when we can start the project. Wait a minute. As you know, we are dealing with the problem of intercontinental sewerage in the budget formation process. To compare intercontinental sewerage to a house, there are three pillars. One is sewerage, the other is water treatment, and the last is rainwater treatment. Tonight, we are going to discuss the lower water treatment part. Well, if the technical conditions allow it, there are a few cool pictures that can accurately show where the product is located in the process of processing. And I'll show you some budget figures. Yes, thank you. Um, let's go back to the first slide. Here's a picture of our Hanryu-sik Seawall. As you may remember from the budget meeting, we are running three different funds. Spencer and Patrick are in charge of different tasks. Spencer is in charge of water collection and rainwater management, and Patrick is in charge of sewerage. Next is a picture of the beautiful sewerage site seen by the Public Business Department. This is the next slide. This is the entrance to manage the lawn. It's not too old, but it's a picture of a nice office. This is the picture I took today. I can see the blue sky. Next slide, please. Yes, this is a wide picture taken by the Public Business Department. Now let's get started. Yes, this is the next slide. As you can see, the finance director, Dennis, organized the data. The initial fund-raising budget for the intercity budget is about $11,000,000, which was approved in this year's budget. We are expecting a profit of about $5.2 million to run the intercity management and water management of the intercity account. Next, you can see the human resources, self-sufficiency, and utility bills. There is a capital expenditure forecast for indirect interest items and some reserve and project projects that are distributed as a general fund. In other words, it reminded us that Dennis is competing with the same profits as Patrick and Spencer. The next slide shows the SDC balance, which is basically the system development burden for two low-cost SDC and two high-cost SDC. The budget is not that high. Because the budget is limited. As you can see, it costs about 1.3 million dollars for sewage treatment, and about 731,000 dollars for rain treatment. It's about 1.9 million dollars in total. All of this budget is used for capital projects that are carefully devised for the CIP capital investment plan. Yes, that's right. Next, I will show you the process of entering the first processing facility that you can see in the photo of the water lily collected from all over the city. Patrick, can you explain? Then, briefly explain the process of processing facilities. What you see here is the waterway that enters the processing facility. Passing through one of the two waterways, the equipment in front of you, that is, the processing facility, flows into the initial purification device. Remove all items such as weapons or other trash that should not enter the sewer. And then go out the door. Mic. Oh, here it is. Is it on? No, you have to press the button.
Yes. It's on. No one's coming in. Oh, I guess my eyes aren't good.
I'm sorry. It's on. Yes. Yes.
I'm sorry. Then move to the bedrock system.
After removing the large debris, come out here and remove sand, sandstone, stone, etc. And if you go down a little bit more, all the things that are left over gather in the trash can. In this process, everything is removed and transported to the landfill. We are working three times a week at a company called KAUT. It is really important to protect all the equipment. So the water treatment facilities play the role of protecting all the facilities of the day. In fact, at this stage, the wastewater treatment is not carried out at all. All of this is a means to protect the facilities. Therefore, it is very important that these facilities work properly. Next, we move to the first storage unit. The water is drained and the storage is removed, then moved to the first storage unit. At this time, as the flow slows down, the heavy solid water sinks to the floor and the light oil components rise up. The high-level water is removed and completely excluded from the process. The important thing here is pure water. This water flows along the outer ring, and the water contains contaminated high-level water and other substances, so it is colored. Next, we move to the secondary storage. You can see the difference in color between this slide and that slide. Yes, what you just saw is the microorganism process of wastewater treatment. When the sewage is in contact with the microorganism, the microorganism decomposes all the sewage and finally creates clean water. The microorganism gets heavier and sinks to the floor as it consumes toxic solid and other chemicals in the water, and this is what promotes the purification process in the secondary storage. Therefore, this secondary process is very important. And this is where the solid water is released in the secondary storage. It manages the health of the sewage treatment plant here and maintains the balance of all elements such as microorganisms and food. Therefore, this part plays a very important role in the sewage treatment plant. The orange pipe is called the RAZ pipe, and it is used to continuously return the sludge stored in the secondary storage unit to the storage unit where the microorganisms can re-eat the food. And some of the microorganisms are removed from the red pipe over there. The microorganisms are growing, and if there are too many, there is not enough nutrition to feed all the microorganisms, so the balance is broken. So I'm managing the balance of the water tank in this room. It plays a very important role in this process. You are processing about 1 million gallons a day, right? Yes, that's right. It's 1 million gallons a day. For us, it's a very normal amount. Whether it rains or sunrises, we process 1 million gallons a day. We have a very thorough collection system. Yes, I'll give you a question. It's a simple question.
Do you have a device to monitor the number of microorganisms? Or do the employees check and monitor themselves? Yes, the employees check and monitor themselves.
There are many ways to distinguish whether it is a microorganism or not. So we carry out these tests. Through this, we can actually figure out how many microorganisms actually exist.
Yes. Um.
After the second charge, most of the pollutants, such as nutrients and pollutants, have been removed. Then we move on to the disinfection stage. After the nutrients are removed and the water is purified, it must be sanitized before it flows into the river. We check the microorganisms in a specific membrane. For example, large bacteria can only survive in warm bodies. Therefore, if large bacteria pass through the entire waterway, It means that there is a problem with the process or that the disinfection is not properly carried out. It is very important for various reasons for this process to work properly. First, it protects public health. It protects everyone who contacts water with the process of treatment at the very end of the water tank. And it's probably one of the easiest ways to get a fine from the Department of Environment. We do a colorectal test every week, disinfect thoroughly, and take necessary measures, but this system is becoming more and more difficult to operate. That's why I'm here to request a TV project today. This system is no longer supported, and it costs too much to operate, so we are trying to replace it. If you look at the right slide, there are existing channels that we are trying to reuse. We are planning to add a third channel here to expand the broadcasting range. This is the existing system, and this is where the new system will be installed. And this is an example of a new system. I'm just showing you the top of the installed system. This is a control device, a fusion device, and an electronic device. And this is... Because of the UV rays, you can't take pictures without a special camera. This is just a digital rendering. This is the exact look of the system to be installed. You can see that the people standing in the control unit are the same as the people here. Along the entire length of the channel, there are several long tubes in the cassette. You can lift each cassette individually to maintain it, so you can work without completely disassembling the channel. This is also one of the advantages of the system. This is the system we're going to install and reuse on the channel, and we're going to replace the container in the existing blue pipe. This is what we're pushing for. It's definitely going to be a big upgrade for us. In the past, we used the channel UV system. And in the past, the existing system worked very well, but as we switched to a new system, a lot of problems occurred. So the goal is to return to the system that was effective and expand the system. Patrick, could you briefly explain the problems that have been encountered in the existing system? I know that there was a lighting problem and the operating cost came out more than expected. How much will these problems be solved with this improvement? Well, just by looking at the lamp life, it's about 2,000 hours now, but it is expected to be able to be used for about 12 hours in the new system. In other words, the electricity replacement cost is 6 times less. Since the electricity price is almost the same, reducing the replacement number by 6 times has a considerable cost reduction effect. In addition, in the existing system, it had to be operated with a higher output to achieve sterilization effects. The biggest cost in the factory is the management of the UV system. The biggest part of our energy consumption is the UV system. The energy consumption increases every time we have to operate the UV system to get the sterilization effect. Lamp life, energy consumption, and the crew required to maintain the system operation are all burdened. However, if you introduce a new system, these problems will be solved. It will be a great help. All right. Thank you. Yes, Mr. Lawyer, I may have missed it. How long is the life of this system? Generally, it can be used for a period of time supported by the manufacturer.
If you use it for about 20 years, new products will be released from the manufacturer, and the support for existing systems will begin to decrease. So, after about 20 years, it usually starts to lack support. Generally, that is the average case.
It will take about 20 years to replace it. It could be.
Yes, it depends on the vendor's support. As long as the vendor continues to produce parts, it can be replaced, reassembled, and repaired. After all, it's a support problem. Yes, that's right.
In the case of IT hardware, manufacturers are known to guarantee at least a life span. Then what about this equipment contract? Is there a minimum guarantee period for system support? How new is this design of the system manufacturing company I'm reviewing? When will it be replaced with a new product? I asked. I've seen new products come out after a few years after buying the equipment. Yes, I've asked you, but at least in the near future, there is no plan to redesign or release a new system. But I think I can understand their answer to that question. I'll contact them and get their answer. I think it's important to know how long our investment will last and what kind of support they will provide. Because I'm sorry, but two years after you bought it, the support ended and there was a situation where you had to upgrade again. I've heard that before. I've seen that too. So I'll contact them and get a clear answer. Thank you. Yes, I'd like you to let me know what it is during the second review.
Thank you. We are also looking at such a situation. In the current situation where they do not support regular and rapid maintenance, this is one of the reasons why we are trying to change direction. Yes, it is said that they will no longer support the currently installed system.
What's the next project when this project is over?
Yes, it's a dewatering work. You have to buy new dewatering equipment at the wastewater treatment plant.
What is dewatering work? Yes, it's dewatering work. When you say dewatering, you usually think of water. But we also have high-end waste in our treatment plant. You have to deal with high-end waste in the process. Water is easy to process. You can purify it and send it to the river. However, high-end waste must be left on site and processed. So we reduce the weight as much as possible. Reducing the weight of the water. We are trying to reduce the cost of transportation by drying the sludge. It is not only the cost of transportation that depends on the weight of the water. After the dehydration of the sludge, we are removing the sludge from the site. Currently, we have signed a contract for the work of HUD-PAMS and ROSEBUG-Y. Therefore, this is not something like a 2.0 dryer. Absolutely not.
We do not consider any kind of dryer. We are reviewing the screw press, which is very similar to the way we currently have. Yes, I understand. Yes, Mr. Patton. Thank you for your presentation.
Thank you, Mr. Patton. As far as I remember, there seems to have been some problems with the equipment of the lower water treatment plant in the past. There was a powder drying problem, and there was also a current UV system problem. There were many other problems. Well, so... If the lamp life is suddenly different from expected or does not work properly, I wonder what kind of guarantee this company gives us. For example, you said this, but it's working like that now, so please fix it so that it works properly, or remove everything at your expense and return the money so that you can buy a new product. Is there such a guarantee? Is there such a condition? We haven't confirmed the details yet, but there will be a guarantee of equipment specifications in the company and contract. If they fail to meet the specifications, there should be a contract that will solve the problem. It's usually stated in the contract, but it's true that you have to guarantee a certain level when providing a specification. That's right. So if we can't meet the specifications, the most important thing for us is the log reduction, or vector reduction. If we can't meet it, their equipment can't meet the specifications, and we need compensation in any way. I didn't forget about that problem. The current UV system seems to have been controversial because it did not work properly. I've heard a lot about the background. I don't know how we reached an agreement. But I'm going to keep what they said. If it's about the system, if they say they're doing something, we have to do it. So, um, maybe... I think it will be resolved by the agreement between our lawyers. They won't want to burden the cost with mercy. But if necessary, we will file a lawsuit against them. They have to be honest about what they said they were providing us. That's what the last system felt like. As if they weren't honest, they weren't properly designed, they miscalculated the capacity, and we ended up taking on all the responsibility. But I'm sure this system won't happen. Because it has the appropriate capacity to be designed with a larger capacity than it is now. I don't know who designed it at the current UV system manufacturer, but in the end, it was miscalculated. So we had to work with additional maintenance. After I became the manager, I called the managers several times to explain the system in detail and solve the problem. Everyone guesses the cause, but there is no one who can explain the exact cause. It's a mystery to everyone, but what I found out is... This system is going to replace the existing system. Yes. I see.
Then the next question is, is this a customized system for our existing channels? Or is it a product that can be used immediately like a standard system? Is it a method that can be expanded depending on the channel size based on a specific model? You're saying you can build it to the size of the channel, right? But there's a limit to the channel land capacity and processing capacity. So we need a third channel. We can't just make a stronger system and install it in the same place. Because there's a limit to capacity. By adding a third channel, you're securing more space. Then... This system is close to a customized system to some extent. How many other localities use equipment in the North and South Pacific and the West? And did you find out how it is running while talking to them? Yes, of course. This system is quite a common system installed on open waterways. We visited a place called BAUZ in Hood River, Hood River. Oh, I'm sorry. It was all Woozi. I visited him in person, looked at the system, and asked him what problems he had in the installation and operation process, and what kind of support he received from the company and the contract company. Everything went smoothly. There was a problem with the existing UV system like us, and it was said that it was having a great effect after introducing the Trojan Trojan system. So I went and checked it myself, and I thought it was a suitable and correct direction for our situation. Yes, good. And the last thing I want to tell you is, as you know, we've talked about plans for the future. Our budget is limited. In this conversation, there was a story that the system might be able to be used for 20 years, maybe 25 years. So, I think it would be good to set up a plan for the future and introduce a way to organize it little by little every year like a land fund. This UV system and other systems will be replaced in a similar way, and in 15 to 18 years, we will be able to provide the amount of 75 to 80% of the cost of installing a new system. And this is adjusted to the industry standard. Then, we will review the budget once every few years, You can check whether the cost is rising or not. You may need additional investment over the next few years. However, I think it would be better to determine this equipment as a future budget. That way, you can prevent funds from becoming insufficient later. It's because it's a very important equipment. I don't want to spend too many pollutants on the river and get fined. Finally, by doing this, we can reduce more costs. This is my opinion. In addition, I am happy that this business is going smoothly. Thank you.
Is the company that will run the construction tonight the same company? Or is it another company? Yes, Apex is in charge of the construction, and a third-party company called Godion manages the business in the middle. It's a kind of project manager. I see. So they're supporting us through the project. By the way, was the company we worked with last time Apex? No, Apex has never worked in our factory before. Yes, I see. So the equipment to be installed this time is another company's product. Yes, so we're using a product called Trojan, a UV system that hasn't been installed yet.
Currently, there is no such equipment in our factory. I have used it in other facilities, but it was a good equipment. But not now. Yes, I understand. Considering the problems experienced in the current system, I think it will be difficult to expect other results by leaving it to the same company.
Currently, I have discussed with many UV system manufacturers, and I want to stop cooperation with them. Yes, that's good. I see. As far as I know, we are reviewing ways to make the delivery process more efficient. It's the same in the city. Is the process of reviewing the contract from the legal team already underway? It's reviewing things like support and responsibility. If I understood the question correctly, Yes, we will review the contract from the legal team. We will definitely review what you pointed out tonight. And after you approved the process of handling, with Dennis, I have already taken measures to introduce a professional delivery person to some projects. Yes, this is the reason. Yes, good. Thank you. Thank you for the budget. Next is project management. Good. Do you have any other questions for Patrick? Patrick and staff. Do you have any questions? I agree. If you don't have any questions, I'll agree. I suggest that the temporary city administration approve the application for approval of the application for approval of the application for approval of the application for approval of the application for approval of the application for approval of the application for approval of the application for approval of Mr. Davis proposed, and Mr. Patton re-appointed, to approve a contract for cooperation improvement for the 1952,618-dollar UV sterilization project between Mr. Cambian and Mr. Apex on September 2, 2026. Do you have any additional discussions? Who agrees? Thank you, Patrick. Thank you so much. Thank you, Patrick. Oh, the next case is no. 1678. It is a case in which the temporary administrative officer approves the Summit Stepping and the Summit Stepping contract. You're Randy, aren't you? And there's Pete Nass. This is a contract for a swimming pool employee approved by the City Administrator. Yes, hello. Last year, we signed a contract with Summit Stepping. The contract will be completed at the end of September. The reason why we are here today is to ask you to extend the contract period by a year. Also, The amount of the contract that was approved after the discussion in January was $250,000. I would appreciate it if you could increase the maximum amount of the current contract to about $312,000. This will extend the contract period a little longer and the contract will be valid until September 30 next year. Thanks to this, we have been able to save enough time so that we do not have to contact again when we have to proceed with new delivery procedures or RFP procedures, and in the way of managing the staff at the swimming pool. In other words, I am relieved that there is enough money in my account on the human resources side. So far, I have maintained a good relationship with the human resources company. Unlike the previous company, it is a very stable company, It was easy to work together, and they are taking good care of the swimming pool staff.
I heard you've been successful in hiring recently, right?
Yes. Then, can you tell me about the new employee? It's an important position. Yes, I hired a person named Noel Lea. I don't know how to pronounce the island. I have to ask you. Noelia recently joined us at Yujin. She worked as the head director of the park and recreation department. Before that, I worked for a long time on the Tour Hills Park and the Net Creation Earth. Yes, she is a really great talent. Yes, it's a really good body. I'm happy to welcome her. I think I'm going to work from Monday. Yes, I've already started the boarding process, and I'm about to get into the job. Good. Then there is only one official seat left in the swimming pool, which is the second head of the rescue team. This week, we suggested a recruitment for a candidate who applied for the position. I hope that the position will be well recruited. Yes, good. Perfect. Do you have any questions? Yes, Mr. Patton. Rather than a question, I suddenly remembered what you said about park and recreation. As we begin to prepare to achieve our goals, I think we will mention what we really have to do and what we have been talking about for years. We have to seriously discuss the requirements for park and recreation, not the earth, but the earth, taxes and so on. I wanted to prevent this problem from just getting buried, and I wanted to continue to raise it so that there would be no discussion. It is an important matter that has been discussed for a long time, and it must be resolved now. Yes, Ms. Woman. This award is not a cost award, but an extension of the period. Yes, both. Yes, both are a little bit. And this contract is valid until the end of next year. That's right. And this contract will continue to be used by swimming pools, civil servants, and this company. It will be a way to maintain the status quo. Yes. The contract is until September 30 next year. Yes, there is a limit, but in the end, before you reach that limit, you have to go back to the general bidding process. Other companies can also bid freely. However, it is a plan to continue to use the company that has been a great partner so far. So, there is no intention of changing this type of general procedure for the time being. Yes, we are satisfied. In terms of working with the viewers, it seems to reduce the burden on the staff. That's right. Yes, I understand. Thank you. All right. Do you have any more questions? If you need it, I'll do the case listing. Yes, I understand. Mr. Chairman, let's see if I'm doing it right.
Oh, I suggest that Mr. Lim sign a contract with Summit Step on September 2, 2026, to approve Act 1678, which approves the extension of the contract. Thank you.
Mr. Patton agreed to approve the petition No. 1678, and Mr. Waterman re-appointed it. This petition is to approve the case that the temporary city administration will extend the contract with Summit Step until September 2, 2026. Do you have any additional discussions? Is there anyone who agrees? It has passed as a consent letter. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, next is the 1679th order to approve the purchase contract of O&E Kim Munt and 442,812 dollars. Yes, it's to buy a new road cleaner. Spencer, hello. Hello. I don't remember well before I got this job. Oh, but we're going to replace it, so the cleaner is a 2009 model. Have you ever... Were you at the demonstration when you applied? I might have applied in the past. Yes, that's right. I was at the demonstration from 2009 to 2011. Yes, I don't remember who's still here. Anyway, I'm going to replace the 2009 Elzen cleaning car in the picture. This car has been a very useful equipment for us. However, it is currently used as a spare for more time in the garage than in the road. So far, I have spent $ 29,000 on the replacement of parts of the car. I don't know exactly, but I think I bought a car for $ 220 in 2009. Most cities operate cleaning cars for about 7 years. We have been operating this cleaning car for 17 years, so we think we have been managing it quite well. But now it seems to be time to replace it. We currently have two cleaning cars. This car is for prepayment. In the fall harvest season, you have to operate two cars to clean again. And this car is a prepayment for when a sudden storm comes down or when another house is under maintenance. It is better to have several units in case of an accident or emergency. So my plan is to convert the main cleaning car, which is currently in operation, into a prepayment for purchase in 2020. It extends the lifespan of 17 years. Now, this is a kind of standard picture that shows how new cars look like. Instead of white and red, I'm going to use a camouflage color to make it look better. It was a new car in 2009, and it was $200,000. $220,000. I don't think I was here, but I think the person in charge said it was that price.
The perm and clips are all off. Yes.
You can fix it with black tape and a binding string. Yes. I don't like to see the car go out of the garage. Because they know that 19 will come to their maintenance center in a few hours. Yes. This car will be sold as a part-time vehicle after moving to government-owned goods. It could be. But there is a high possibility that there are small cities that need these cars very much. Yes, that's good. Do you have any questions? Yes, that's right. First of all, I want to tell you one thing. The employees are doing a great job. I saw you working on a regular basis, and you're doing a great job. I just wanted to compliment you. The second question is, do you have any reserve funds for this equipment replacement? Yes, we do. It was reflected in this year's budget. Yes. As Jason said, I have a certain amount of money for this equipment replacement. He said it would probably take about 7 years. In most cities, cleaning cars are replaced every 7 years. But as the price of the equipment is increasing, I think it would be okay to replace it for 10 years. If you use two cleaning cars alternately, it will help to extend your lifespan. Thank you. I think 7 years is too short. That's right. This equipment is expensive, and it is exposed to a poor environment full of dust and foreign substances, so the noise is inevitable. Well, that means it's running at 3 miles per hour. Mr. Mayor, wait a minute. Mr. Chairman, do you have any questions? Well, we're going to sell this car and make money. Will that money go back into the next vehicle purchase fund? Or how will it be used? I'm looking at the financial director. That's a good question. Mr. Chairman, nod your head. Yes, I see. Thank you. Yes, Mr. Hensley, thank you.
Yes, Mr. Mayor, I am the temporary City Executive Officer, O.N. Equipment, O.N. Equipment, and $ 442,812 to sign a contract to purchase a new road cleaning vehicle. I suggest that the 1679th be approved on September 2, 2026. Second,
The House of Representatives of the House of Representatives of the House of Representatives of the House of Representatives of the House of Representatives of the House of Representatives of This is to have a re-election on September 2, 2026. Do you have any opinions or things to discuss? Yes, Mr. Ben.
There are a few questions. First of all, I'll check to see if I understand the content more accurately. Oh, then the broken vehicle was repaired, right? That's right. That's a new vehicle. That's right. How many years has it been?
in June 2020.
So, to talk about the replacement in the 6-year or 7-year cycle, it will be much faster than this car. So, except for the main role of driving that car every day,
I'm trying to use it for a long time. Oh, I see.
Then, in about 7 years, this car will play that role, and then I'll get a new car. All right. I like it. Did you find out why it was broken?
It was because there was a foreign material piled up in the exhaust. Was it because of the diesel exhaust gas regeneration system? Oh, I see. It's interesting. I thought you were sucking in something like a battery. Yes, I see. Can you install a road-packing rating system for this car later if you need it? You mentioned the AI system. Yes, it is possible.
Good. Well, one of the things we talk about every year is the leaves. Yes, when I grew up in Dongbu, there were a lot of leaves. At that time, instead of sucking leaves with a road cleaner, I sucked leaves while carrying something like a vacuum cleaner to break the leaves in the city. Have you ever thought of such a method instead of giving a burden to the road cleaner because people blow the leaves anyway? When I was driving, I saw people flying leaves on the road, and I shouted, I can't do that. Then he cursed. And... In my job, one of the biggest causes of killing plants is giving too much water.
Changing the soil is much easier than teaching you not to give too much water. So, Instead of complaining about people blowing leaves every year, can we think of a way to absorb leaves? I've thought about that problem a few times. So far, we haven't been able to find the right equipment for us in terms of purchase cost, usage frequency, maintenance and maintenance costs. I'm looking for the equipment we need for our park. There is a small leaf blower, so I break the leaves into small pieces and plant them in the truck. However, there are not many places that have equipment that can be planted in the truck according to the size of our village. Yes.
Well, I don't know if I'll just look at this problem. Let's see what happens.
No, in my opinion, we need to design and patent it ourselves. Then you can retire as a rich man. If you need it, you can contact the public business department of New York's Andover City.
Andover City is full of 100-year-old maple trees. So, I think it's probably a weird device made at home. And, yeah.
Is the road cleaning schedule posted on our website? Yes, it is. I see. I have to look for that schedule. Unfortunately, I park my car on the street and run out to move the car when I hear a car coming. That way, the car can pass in front of my house. So I have to add it to my calendar. So you clean the house every first week of the month. Every first week of the month. Yes. You've tried your best. I wish my neighbors would do the same. Everyone, if you park your car on the street, you should check the cleaning schedule and move the car. Thank you.
If you don't move the car, the speedometer will come and mark it with a pen on the tire. If you can't move it, we'll move the car for you. Now, this is how you do it. Yes, it's really good. It's the first week of this month. All right. That's all I have to say. Thank you. All right. Would you like to sign the contract now? May I ask you a question?
Are you okay? Is it all over? I'm fine. Good. I gave you a question. Is there anyone who agrees? Me. Is there anyone who disagrees? I agree. It was passed with 4 votes. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Spencer. You're trying to make sure the meeting isn't too late. You're definitely trying to do it. Yes. Next question. The next case is Clause 1685. This is an order to approve a contract of $1,112 with the city administration to sign a contract with the Pacific Group. $111,230 was invested in the 992 highway and Wallet intersection project. There's no need to mention this part. Yes, let's skip this part. There's no need to discuss it at all. Spencer, it's you, right? Yes, that's right. All right. Please tell me. There was an opening ceremony last Tuesday. 13 companies participated in the opening ceremony. Among them, Pacific Excavation and Pacific Excavation offered the lowest price. It was selected as a responsible opening ceremony. Personally, I have never worked with Pacific Excavation, but I have seen it enter into several projects. We hope to finish this project smoothly and have a road opening ceremony. Yes, could you briefly explain how the project will be carried out?
This project is
expand Route 99 on Waller Street to create a slip lane that can be entered by a left-rotating lane on Route 99. Crossroads and guardrails such as signals will also be installed. This part is relatively small in project size. There is no important construction such as a high-altitude pipe. All you have to do is install it with road packaging, expansion, and traffic lights. The purchase date is expected to be around mid-October through pre-meeting and contract signing. If everything goes smoothly, traffic lights, It is expected that it will take about 6 months to self-order. I heard that there is a 6-month preparation period so far. However, it is limited to the middle of March, so there is no need to worry about it. Well, I don't know exactly how much work will be done. However, realistically, it seems that it can start around the middle of October. But by the end of March or early April when the weather gets better, it will be able to finish. Then is this the last step? Yes, it's the last step. When the traffic light turns on, the road will open and the vehicle. Thank you, Mr. Davis, Mr. Patton. So, what was the position of the Pacific in the process of entry? Was it the lowest entry? Yes, it was the lowest entry. Yes, then have you checked the form? There was a problem when I used the lowest entry company before. There was a problem with other companies. I didn't call them in person, but what I found out was that Pacific is a good company. Yes. I want to know more about this company. I know, I've checked the board, and I think I'll be relieved to see the work they've done. A million dollars is a million dollars. Rather than choosing a company like LOID, it may be more expensive to choose a company that has worked several times. So I'm not sure about this company. Secretary Patton
Yes, I thought so too.
Mr. Mayor, Mr. Davis, we will complete the evaluation survey before the second trial. Yes, that's good. I'll give you a few more questions. Yes, we estimated how much with the budget. I don't remember the exact amount, but was the actual cost higher than the budget? Was it low? The engineer's estimate for the second stage was 1.5. Most of them were 1.2.5, and Pacific was a little over 2. And the next question is, another company is in charge of all the other works on Waller Street. How will the collaboration with the company be made?
This work started at a different time from the other company, and this part is a very small section. Do I have to wait until the other company is done? Or do I just need a little bit of adjustment right now?
Chemex is finishing very well, so I think it will end earlier than expected. I have to finish all the work by November of the contract. So if I need adjustment, I just need a little bit of work, and I think I'll be transferred to the next company. Yes, and... I suddenly thought of something while you were talking about time promises. I don't think I've cared about it so far, but if the project exceeds a certain period of time, should I put a clause in the contract that I have to pay a fee?
Yes, that's fine. Um, so can I make a suggestion?
There is a contract company that is already familiar with the area and is already working on it, but it seems that the evaluation is good and the work performance is good. In this project, I wonder if you have already considered the continuity of using the equipment and personnel on the site.
In terms of cost, as you said, even if the cost is a little higher, it is a company that is already working on the site, so we can reduce the problems that may occur later. Also, they are already familiar with the project.
Yes, Kim Noon participated in the stage survey and ranked 3rd. Yes, but we went through the interrogation process, but I'm not a lawyer, so it's hard to tell you exactly. I don't know all the laws, but we went through the public interrogation, that is, the official interrogation process. Therefore, all companies had a fair opportunity to interrogate. Randy, to explain the background of the question I'm listening to, we are working very hard. Before I came to KAMI, I prepared a contract proposal that would allow law enforcement officers and department heads of law to execute the minimum number of protesters. It's a very limited proposal, but as far as I understand it, the procedure is being carried out now. We are currently discussing publicly about other entry rights, and we will tell you more about this in a meeting that will be held soon. Therefore, the provisions are included in our standard contract. Spencer and I have kept the problem for a while. I wanted to review it again to make sure. If we have a solution that can exclude minimum entry rights, please let us know anytime. But I'd like to do some evaluation first. Yes, if you look at the contract, Even the top three companies seem to have offered a much lower price than the budget. Yes, the project budget is 1.5 billion dollars. It's something to think about. Yes, Mr. Davis, what was the camber? Was it number one? Was it number two? Yes, it was the top three. It was 1.23 dollars. 1.2 dollars is lower than the budget. As Mr. Waterman said, I agree with you on the chemistry of the No. 1 company. We are currently in the process of construction, but we have not yet heard the specific evaluation results, and we do not have enough information about the company. So I'm a little nervous and I think we have to wait until the second round. Based on the evaluation results, the procedure may be delayed if the decision is made at that time. Anyway, it's not going to work, but there's a possibility. But I'm a little nervous about not knowing the information about Pacific. Who is it? Spencer. I don't have any data in front of me right now. Where's the second company? Eagle Yo. Yes. Eagle Elder Yo. Who was it? Eagle Yo. Yes. It's a well-known company, both Canvix and Eagle. Yes, lawyer Ben. Now that we've come this far, I think we need to be careful with what we're saying. The contract hasn't been signed yet. There's a legal problem, too. I think we need to keep that in mind. But if... If there is a condition that the company that offered the lowest bid for the contract can be excluded, the company will move on to the next bidder, but in this case, N can't do the construction. So, you're saying that the next important thing is to move on to the responsible bidder. Oh, the responsible bidder.
So, as you know, the equipment is already on site, so it is true that there is a cost reduction effect. However, if the specific bonding work is so, the cost will be higher than the bonding work of a company that already has equipment. So it's obvious that it would be cheaper for Canvix to work, but looking at these numbers, you can see that it's not because the equipment has already taken third place even though it's already on the scene.
I thought it was more important to maintain the continuity of the project than to start two different projects from the beginning, not just the cost problem. That's what I wanted to tell you. Of course, we'll decide what to make, but I wanted to reflect my opinion on the decision process.
As Mr. Davis said, and as other people have said, I would like to continue this case and ask if we will wait for the second trial, or if we will completely cancel it, or if there is another plan. The next meeting is on September 2nd. There are only a few weeks left.
The second round will be postponed to mid-June. Yes.
And I would like to say that there is no emergency response to this case. You can add an emergency response and proceed with the procedure quickly. Oh, I'm writing this right now. What did you say?
President Tracy also said that there is no second round meeting right now. So if necessary, you can shorten the time.
In the end, the important thing is that there is already a minimum bidder. If the minimum bidder submitted a great recommendation, there is no need to do anything. But if that's not the case...
Yes, so... You mean to proceed with the first trial and then take action in the meantime, then take the second trial or dismiss it, right? I'm fine with that.
If that's the case, let me add one more thing. I didn't participate in it myself, The engineering company went through that process, and they were recognized as an active participant and completed the part. Yes, it's perfect. Thank you, Mr. Patton. Then, I was going to submit a consent form, and I will add this opinion. You can tell me when you submit your consent form, but please tell me first. Yes, it's okay. Would you like to make a call? No, sir. All right. Mr. Mayor, I agree with the approval of the 1680 bill. I'm really looking forward to it. For the second trial on September 2, 2026, the City Administrator was awarded $1,100 to $11,230 for the purchase of the Pacific Excavation Incorporated, the 99th Expressway, and the Wallet Interchange. It was decided that the petition, which was approved by the Petten Committee and the Waterman Committee, would be submitted to the second hearing on September 2, 2026, in order to sign a contract for the construction of Highway 99 and Wallock intersection with the amount of $112,230. My opinion is that we sign numerous contracts every year, but if the minimum doesn't choose a patent company, it's so small that it can be used as a finger. Because I decided not to repeat such mistakes through past experience. Yes, this is a really important project. And you're looking forward to it, too. I'm really happy, too. So, at least a few more projects. Check it out again. Thank you for giving us feedback on how they did it. They've never worked here in the Kami area, so we don't know much. Eagle Elmer knows well. It's a company that does a lot of packaging construction, and it's been popular for a long time. It's a Kami X regional company, and I like it because it's a family business. I just don't want to make a hasty decision because I don't think it's a company that can complete its high-quality and excellent work in my time or faster. I think we need to be careful about that part of the business. This is what I think. If you get caught up in the lawsuit, there's a risk that everything will go wrong. Yes. Do you have any other opinions? Yes. Do you have any other opinions? All right. Is there anyone who agrees? Yes. Yes. Is there anyone who disagrees? Yes. The case has been passed with 31 votes. Thank you. Spencer, thank you. Um, thank you. Um, the 8th case is another case, but there is none. The 9th case is a report on the work and staff of the city administration. Randy, I'll give you an hour to explain in detail about all the work going on. I want to hear your report. Um, to save time. Um, wait a minute. I would like to thank Chairman Henry. Chairman Henry has spoken. Jamie, thank you for preparing the opening ceremony of the new park a few days ago. It was really great. Was it yesterday? Time flies so fast. I really liked the soccer ball kick idea. I'm thinking of posting that picture on the Kemi landing page. It's a really cool picture. Yes, the participation rate was good. Yes, let's move on to the next slide. There are Mr. Davis and Mr. Hansley. I made a few commemorative paintings, and I gave everyone a small souvenir related to the construction of the park. Yes, tell me. The person over there is the chairman of the committee. The venue was well decorated and it was a really good afternoon. Let's move on to the next slide. A contractor or engineer said a few words. Mr. Jim Sim-rae of the Park and Road Management Department said that he has a family who used to own this land. Thank you for your good words to your family. And of course, I gave you snowflake bingsu from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Jane, do you have anything more to say? You did a great job. Yes, let's move on to the next topic. It's a picture. Now, let's see what kind of pictures there are. Today, we looked around Wallace Spencer Park. It is said that all the base facilities are located underground. This is what it looked like on the highway, but I think it was launched last week or this week. It's getting better and better. The next picture is a little interesting. It's because it shows how big the stones are. It's using a big stone for a big truck. Now, let me show you the progress of the gas station project estimated in the budget. There's a building that looks like a small gas station near the public business center, and it looks pretty good. I think it's a good idea to put a camera in there. Next is a picture of three tanks. There are two 12,000-gallon tanks. Toad is looking for a partner to share the fuel with us. So that emergency rescue staff can use it. Yes, I see. Next. Today's Ivy Street. Take a few pictures in North Ivy Street. This is the next project that Spencer will start. I can't think of any words. Yes, thank you. Uh, road maintenance compensation and fuel, that is, local fuel will be new. So this project will cover a fairly long section from the top to the bottom of the territory. Yes, look at the next picture. As you can see while driving, the entire road is covered with asphalt. I'm working right now. Let's move on to the next picture. Next picture. And the next picture is... This is the last picture. It looks good, right? The next picture shows the condition of the road packaging that will be carried out by the DECIU construction company. I gave it to the mayor, and I'm working on future plans. There's a picture in front of me. So on September 2, the mayor suggested that we start the expansion-related work meeting at 5.30 p.m. We are working hard to officially end this problem, and the date of the public hearing will be announced soon. and questions are also being received. Today, the city councilor called a resident and asked him to answer the question, and we called him. The resident owns a house in the northern region. Yes, so this is the main thing to deliver to you this fall. You will go through the public hearing, the first and second trial. September 2nd, September 9th, September 16th, September 9th, September 16th, September 9th, September 16th, September 9th, September 9th, September 16th, September 9th, September 9th, September 16th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, September 9th, I will carefully choose the words, but it contains the content that the planning committee is authorized and the employees are allowed to interpret. So, each city mayor and city councilors are gathering to think about how to solve the problem. I'm going to get a detailed briefing on all the situations and things that Kami can do in the Oregon Federation. Yes, I understand. When Patrick talked about the UV project, I forgot to tell you something. This project is an infrastructure project of 2 million dollars. The governor has created an infrastructure fund of 10 million dollars, and the governor, Chang Mo-jin, is actively contacting each city and recommending applications. I attended a web seminar related to this, and it seems that our project may also be eligible for support. It could be 50 out of 50 matching support. It used to be 2 million dollars, but now it has decreased to 1 million dollars. Our district congressman, Mr. Bunch, contacted us and said he would help us. He asked me to contact him if there was a project, and he said he would write a support letter and help promote it. Sandy, Malala, and Estikada will meet for lunch tomorrow and talk about similar cases, especially about the sewerage project they are pursuing. So I'm going to meet with Jung-ho and Sandy and talk about it. But I can't apply for it myself, so I need your help. The project for September 2 may be added to the bill. I hope this project can be recognized as an appropriate project. Good. Jae-in, is there any important event news about Kami? I'm not asking you all of a sudden, but if there's an important event for Kami. Next weekend is a very important weekend for Kami.
There's a street dance event at 5 p.m. on Friday night, August 28th. The two bands are going to perform, and Brandon Leonard, who was the headliner last year, was also invited again. He did a really great job. The reaction was very good. We're going to show you the dance performance again. The two bands will go up and down the stage and have a fun performance. And the grand street dance party consists of three elements. It is to invite local merchants, play live music, and provide free activities for children. As you saw at the opening event of the park yesterday, it is a really precious memory to provide activities and fun time for young residents to participate. It is to create a reason for people to stay and grow in Kani and further root here. On Friday night, the Kurtz Force Cruising event will be held, and on Saturday, Saturday, the Saturday Market will be held. The Swan Island Dahlia Festival is also underway, and various events are prepared every day from Wednesday to Sunday, so be sure to visit. And in the middle of September, there is the Cami Dahlia Run and Cami Dahlia Run, which are held at the Peptoberfest, Peptoberfest and Kami Area 30 conference center held at the Clackmas County Park and Event Center. I can't believe it's coming. I know almost everything.
The mayor said next week, so I checked the calendar. I can't believe August has passed so quickly. Summer itself is right. Yes, that's right.
Mayor, that's all for the report. Are you sure you heard everything?
Yes, I want to hear it quickly. I have a question.
Yes, Mayor. Can the police report it on a regular basis? Yes, I know that's still a big problem. While I was in the park and talking to the temporary administrative officer, I almost collided with four young men who were speeding at Maple Street 16. They didn't stop and ran across Maple Street. I want to know what efforts are being made to solve this problem at the police station for educational purposes. Of course, Mr. Davis. And there's something I didn't tell you. Right before the meeting, Mr. Murphy passed the order. So far, all the warnings have been warning measures in terms of information supply. Until tonight, not a single overpayment has been paid. The situation could change in the future. I'll attend the next meeting and provide you with the latest information. I'm really thankful for the educational aspect, but one man has already been transferred to a special hospital. So the point is that they don't want people to get hurt. That's right. Today, I followed a young man from Territory All, and he was riding an electric bike with the whole Territory All in front of him. I thought he was really talented. I'm never going to be able to do it.
Actually, a few days ago, a young man was riding an electric motorcycle in my neighborhood, and I didn't want to throw anything or scream at him. I didn't want to be arrested.
But now it's just the beginning. That's what I thought. Yeah, just. Oh, yeah. I'll think about it a little bit more. Yeah, yeah. Jason, you're still young to be that rough. Oh, of course. I don't have a child and I live alone. I think it's already half the time. Someday, I'm looking forward to the day I'm going to sell my grandpa's TV show ticket.
Don't pass in front of Patton's grandfather's house. I might throw Zenki. Zenki is a small manual machine.
All right. All right. Oh, Randy. Thank you. I'm glad you got all the reports today. You didn't say market work, did you? Now, let me tell you a few things. There was a meeting of the Regional Transportation Commission a few weeks ago on Monday. I spent a lot of time on the summer 보수공사. There are a few important things. Road 205 and Evernash bridge are still under construction and a lot of work is underway. Wilsonville's bridge is repairing small rubber or metal connectors on the bridge. This part seems to be broken and damaged, so the Oregon Transportation Department is repairing it during the summer at ODOT. So the bridge is closed in the middle of the night. And in the north, the Rose Quarters will be closed because of the construction. That's why the traffic will increase. The Clarka-Moose County Board of Directors heard the announcement of electric bicycles at West Lynn and Happy Valley the night after they approved the electric bicycle request. They introduced the projects they had implemented, and it was not much different from ours. One of the things we did at Happy Valley was, if you look back, I think it would have been nice to hold an event to communicate with the local residents, such as the announcement of the various bicycles at the Gonzales Police Station. So that the general public can know about electric bicycles in advance before we pass the order. I think it will be a good opportunity to refer to when discussing this. The promotional activities are not too much. Happy Valley also made a lot of effort in terms of education. We received approval a few months ahead of us. We distribute a lot of flyers, and we carry out active activities such as giving them to the police officers. The response was very good. It was the opposite situation with us. In our area, children and families said, Don't do this, but in Happy Valley, many people said, Please do this. It's dangerous, and children ride bicycles and go around here and there. The interesting thing is that the Happy Valley police chief said he filed a complaint in the first week. Randy, did I tell you I'm 60 years old? Yes, that's right. At the Happy Valley Police Station, children were given 60-year-old stickers, but most of them were irrelevant to their age. Willy, get on the front wheel. I'm using my electric bike inappropriately. There was a very interesting conversation about that. I think there were a lot of talks about urban development regulations, maintenance fees, and expansion last week, right? Yes, thank you. There was a meeting with real estate owners who would be affected by the Kurtz bug. There was a lot of discussion about what kind of housing will come in and what kind of facilities will come in, and a meeting will be held in two weeks. We had a lot of conversations, and the participants actively participated. When the results of the meeting come out, I want to hear everyone's thoughts. For your information, we are going to conduct an interview to select the successor of Judge Graf, who is retiring from our committee. will be held in the future. After talking to Maya, it seems that some people have already submitted their applications and presented their opinions. So, it is expected that it will be held within a fairly short time from the application to the final interview. I will let you know the details later. Randy, I will ask you a question about our city's redevelopment. How is the current situation? June pass June pass How was the final end of the global business? Did the last budget pass? Are all the procedures complete? I'll call Jamie, too. Thank you. Mr. Mayor, this is a good question. The financial director is here with us. The first budget review confirmed the impact of the tax rate. It's going smoothly. It's expected to have been applied to the fire department, but I haven't confirmed it to the general manager yet. Yes, that's right. All right. That's why we did it. Now, to talk about the last project, Jamie will be able to report on the work content and current progress with the engineers.
Yes, we are carrying out the last redevelopment project with KD Sun & Associates. Once again, this project is a section between 1st Street and 2nd Street. And we continue to expand along 2nd Street in the direction of Elm Street to complete the work on 2nd Avenue. Regarding redevelopment, We have already received 30% of the plan and are currently writing a 90% plan. Once this plan is completed, we will report it to you and proceed with the procedure. We know very well that the engineer is running the business within our set budget, As you said, the engineer told me that he had no intention of using any other budget for the project. So, as you know, they're basically making a package that says, if you have this much budget, you can do this. As you know, there are times when it's less than the budget. So if you don't have enough budget, you can add a certain part. They know that situation well, and they're trying to proceed with it. All right. What is the expected schedule? When do you expect to start the project? And the second question is, Can we finish the project without completing it? Yes. Regarding the project, we expect that 90% of the plans will be completed in early October. Then we will proceed with the entry and report the results to you and then start construction. The site is relatively small, so the size of the construction is not large. And we're going to discuss how to end the city, redevelopment, the earth, or the institution. I think we'll be able to negotiate after the project is completed. That's the goal. Because if we think logically, if we stop operating mechanically, we have to legally return $1,000,000 to the county.
So I want to use that $1,000,000 for the project. If you understand my question correctly. Yes.
So I think we can finish the project by the spring. Yes.
However, we are not waiting for the city redevelopment fund to be used for the final project. And as you all know, I've mentioned it before, but let me say it again. The city no longer receives tax-added finance, TIF. Therefore, there are no more funds prepared separately for urban redevelopment. It's just a fund to complete the final project. And the last payment of the loan has also been completed. Yes, I see. As far as I know,
In the case of this urban redevelopment and land tax business, I heard that the responsibility of completing the funding collection is transferred to the city.
However, in my opinion, it seems to be more applied to assets. For example, things like Grant Street Arch become assets of the city, and when the business is completed, it seems to be transferred to the city. Yes. However, in order to use the remaining funds, the relevant institution must continue to exist.
And that asset is... Yes, sir. This is what I want to tell you about this problem. Many people know that they want their business to be completely bankrupt. Of course, that's possible, but without this project, the achievements we've achieved so far would have been impossible. And the urban redevelopment of the earth itself is actually over. The fire station and city taxes have already been paid, but the school situation is a little different. In fact, it's already over. Whether it's spring, summer, or fall, it will eventually be over. If you want to continue to raise questions about something that's already over, you can do that. But I hope that the achievements we have achieved have been excellent and that we will be able to achieve the same achievements again in the future.
We are working hard to promote the business as quickly as possible. Because we know that there is a priority in finishing the business completely. We will take all necessary measures to finish the last project of the city redevelopment region that everyone will be proud of. Yes, good. Thank you. Jane.
Yes, I will tell you a few last things. I couldn't attend the opening ceremony of Daphne Glen Park, which we talked about a little while ago, but I would like to say thank you to the members of the Park Advisory Committee. Thank you for your hard work to create a new park. Members of the advisory committee have achieved a lot of small but meaningful things, even if they can't always see the big results with their eyes, and I hope you will know that they will achieve more in the future. This is just an example of hard work, and sometimes if you take a step forward, you will eventually reach your goal. Lastly, I think this meeting is the last meeting in August. The chemistry school will sign the contract before the next meeting. So, yes, the kids will come out on the street again and wait for the bus or walk to school, so be prepared. Yes, be careful in such a situation and reduce the speed in the school area. Oh, for the past few years, Mandy, I remember that the police force in the school area increased in the first week. So, I would appreciate it if you could have a conversation with the temporary police chief of Gonzales. Well, that's it for now. Now we will begin the opinion and contact report of the city council. Thank you, Chairman. I have a few things to tell you, but I will not make it too long so that I can finish it early tonight. First of all, I... I was too busy with my business trip, so I couldn't handle a lot of contact work. But, um... There's one seat empty for the Cultural Heritage Committee, and one of the applicants is trying to set up an interview schedule. So I hope there will be one more seat for the committee. I attended a book tour event called Crossing Passes, which was hosted by Cammy Pride a while ago, and it was really good. It was really cool that 25 to 30 people came. And since I was in town, I attended the Grill & Chill event. Thank you to Cammy Pride, who hosted the event for the past few years. It was very hot, but a lot of people came. Especially the backpack-like line was very long. I think the name of the event was Together Cammy.
It went really well.
Yes, dog. Creed shows off his work. However, I just hope that he didn't eat what was on his stomach. I don't want a poor guy to get surgery again. Anyway, that event was really good. There were a lot of participants. It was really nice to see. On the last day of this year's Big Night Out event, the last day of the Far West Show, I hope I can participate in the event. Usually, you can't attend because you have to remove the booth. Yes, and I would like to hear feedback from those who will come here in 30 to 60 days in relation to electric bicycles. About speed restrictions on parks or potholes, and I'll be waiting for your opinions. Oh, and there's one more thing I'd like to tell you. I'm going to do some public advertising. I talked about the sewage treatment plant this evening. The wet tissue that melts in the water should never be washed away. Don't throw it away or use it at all. Wet tissue is one of the main crimes that clog the sewage treatment plant. So please be careful. Oh, and... I have one thing to ask you about the plan. I've been looking at the recent updates and I've got a question. I went to Denver not long ago, and I took a walk in the morning and passed through a neighborhood. It was a large-scale planning and development area with a single house and apartment complex, and you could see people communicating with each other and the walkway was good. I don't know why we, Kami, can't do that. You'll let me know the reason for the money easily, right? That's possible, but I think the system should be built in that direction. I think it's better to create a neighborhood with a variety of residential types rather than an area with only individual homes and apartments. So, I would like to review such a proposal. Lastly, I would like to say that the Davis Committee would sympathize with me. Because the weather is too dry these days and because of the last spring weather, there are a lot of flora and fauna such as weeds and mulberry. Whether you smoke or not, whether you carry a trailer, do not throw cigarette butts out of the window. Be careful not to drag Chae-in to the ground. You have to be careful. This is why I went to the Grants Pass last week. On the way from Medford to Grants Pass to take the employee to the headquarters, a fire broke out on the I-5 highway between Grants Pass and Medford. The fire started just now. When I was passing by in the car, it was about 20 acres. About an hour and a half later, on the way back to the hotel in Medford from Grants Pass, it was over 100 acres. When I woke up at 10 o'clock that night, it was over 400 acres, and the next morning it was almost 1,000 acres. You have to be careful about what you do. A very small mistake can cause a big problem for people. Many houses were in danger of fire. So you have to be really careful about what you do outside. This situation will continue for the next few months. It can be a big help even if you are a little careful. That's it. That's all I have to tell you tonight. Thank you. Thank you.
I've already talked about Daphne Glenn, but since Jamie is still here, I wanted to tell you that it was much more fun than the ribbon cutting ceremony. It was really good to see 12 children get permission and kick the ball to the adults. The children were so happy. It's really fun. So That was a really cool idea. Good job. Have a good dream. And the historical ribbon-cutting ceremony at First Avenue I attended instead. It was a really special event. Carol Palmer also attended, and she gave a lot of good information about the history of the Keiler Building. It's really fun. When we celebrate and accept history, that's what protects the charm of our little town. So it was really nice to be able to attend. Mark White, a new member of the Transportation Safety Committee, joined. Thank you to Gary Bryant, who has been volunteering in the committee so far. Mark is a law enforcement officer. So he not only brought a lot of experience to this society, but also brought ideas for regular bicycle education curriculum. Our contact person, Chris Davis, will deliver the data to the police station and cooperate to integrate it into bicycle education. The Traffic Safety Commission is also reviewing this problem. We are also planning to discuss the DASH-E States project, which was suspended due to the replacement of the chairman and another chairman's resignation. All related cases were forgotten, but I will remind you again, so I decided to deliver all the cases to the new committee. After the new committee recognizes the situation, we will discuss the speed limit problem of the DASH-E States region again. It seems to have been avoided to this extent. The mayor gave a good point about the school problem, but many people visit our village because of the 박람회 this week. There are many people who don't know where to go. So be careful. On the first day of the 박람회, a traffic accident occurred on the 990th street and the Pine Street intersection. The first day is not the opening time yet. So be careful and keep a sufficient distance from each other. The weather is hot and everyone will be tired, and among the visitors, it is not only the residents of the area. Drive safely. That's all.
Thank you. Mr. Davis, thank you. Mr. Mayor, there was no report at the last meeting. Kami prepared a report on the adult center. I will tell you as briefly as possible about the current situation of the adult center. The remodeling construction started on June 22, and most of the removal work is complete and going smoothly. There are only a few finishing works left. The installation of a fire sprinkler has actually started. It is to complete the work for the school to continue to use the building space. Castle As Catherine Cash mentioned, the approval process with the county has been going very smoothly so far, and we are very grateful to Siwa County for the approval process. We send our condolences to Siwa County regarding the approval process. The fundraising campaign is going well. Spirit Mountain, Spirit Mountain has been re-registered. You will soon be able to hear about Spirit Mountain's fundraising campaign or funding support. The Mariron Foundation, the Mariron Foundation, the Guarier Family Foundation, the Lear Family Foundation, and the important CDBG, the Regional Social Development Block Supplementary Fund, submitted their proposals. There was not much progress in relation to CDBG. Yes, so I contacted the county manager and heard that the business has been going well since then. It seems that the business is progressing with the help of the county manager. Cash is very satisfied. Royal Cox Ardondo also supported project funds from putting river chocolate, emerald credit combination, cornerstone asset management, and night hunter. So far, the total deposit is about $269,000, and the account balance is about $320,000. In fact, the Kami Adult Center business is going smoothly. Cash is leading the business very well. Thank you to Landy, the temporary manager, who attended the meeting of the Recreation Advisory Committee and the Park last night. Yes, several new members of the Park Advisory Committee have joined, and they are playing a very good role in catching up with the current projects. CARA reported about the Artisan Park behind Fred Myers, and it is said that they are working there every week or every few hours a month to plan and clean. The public business department is also helping to organize the trees, so the park looks very good. It's a place we couldn't care about, but we've recently become interested in it. Volunteers started organizing the Frisbee golf course, and looking at the photos today, it seems that cleaning has also started. Thank you to the volunteers who work hard to organize the Frisbee golf course. We are planning to hold a workshop on park and facility improvement. It's a workshop with Mr. Im Sisi. It will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on September 11. The goal of this workshop is to look at all the projects that are currently underway and decide the priority ranking. We need to provide some information about the projects to the newly joined protestors. This workshop was prepared under the suggestion of Mr. Im Sisi, and I actively support it. Randy also announced the budget in 2627, and reviewed the budget contents and unused budget items. For example, like the Maple Street Park related business, it was not completed last year, but there are projects to be carried out next year. So, yes, that led us there, and of course, Daphne Glen Park. Jamie, you did a great job preparing for that event. It was a great opening ceremony and it was a really beautiful park. I only heard a positive response. Everyone there, mothers, children, everyone loved it. And I hope that the playground facilities there can be used according to the disability approach standard. The ocean cushion is also great. There was a little opinion that the grass was getting too hot. Yes, it's getting a little hot. So that's something we need to look at. Until next summer, we'll have to see if we can install more shade barriers in certain areas. But I think we can take care of those small parts and improve them. But I think we can focus on moving some of the ideas discussed at the park to Maple Street Park. Landy's temporary administration played a big role in combining the projects we discussed and setting priorities for Maple Street Park. Thanks to this, we were able to properly organize our budget and carry out the necessary projects. The first was the parking problem. We proposed a few ways to increase parking spaces in Maple Street Park, and finally agreed on one plan. Next is the problem of bathrooms. Currently, there are only one bathroom per person. We have suggested three ways to increase the number of bathrooms. 1. Expand existing bathrooms and add more. This ensures that there are enough bathrooms not only for daily visitors but also for various events. The tree roots of the walkway around the park are causing safety problems by lifting asphalt. That walkway is used quite a lot. So we discussed whether to improve that part or promote future improvement. And about the rides, while maintaining the natural theme of the park, we are considering a plan to harmonize with the Maple Street Park rather than the artificial feeling like the newly installed Daphne Glen rides. In other words, it is to install rides using natural elements such as maple trees so that young children and older children can enjoy them together. We are also reviewing whether there is enough budget to provide a second playground for Maple Street Park in the future. We talked about re-packaging the basketball court. And about installing a fence around the baseball field to strengthen security. It is planned to strengthen the security by hitting the fence and installing a door that can be locked, and to prevent bicycle-like items from entering new grasslands. These are the projects we discussed. It was really great to see the park managers. Let's look at some of the park related information that I've been thinking about.
I'll tell you because I think it would be nice to discuss it with you after the barbecue party. I was passing by the skate park and a few people were using it. So I talked to them about the state of the skate park. We're going to use the park for a while, so concrete. I told you that cleaning and waterproofing are necessary. If you do that, I think you can use the park for a little longer. I was wondering if you could consider this part. And I often see it when I pass by the Northwood Dino Park in Northwood Estate. Dinosaur sculpture surrounding materials I think it's hard because it's been a long time. I was wondering if anyone knew this part.
I told you. Spencer is also attending the meeting. I'm here tonight, so I'll find out. It's called Northwood Dino Park.
It seems to be called Northwood, but I think it's called Dino Park because of the stone sculpture that looks like a dinosaur. Google calls it Northwood Dino Park.
If we go and lobby, we'll be able to name the park Walt Daniels Park. Oh, that guy.
Not because I like this dinosaur, but because I love dinosaurs.
I strongly supported the construction of the park. So on the 14th. Yes, good. Thank you, Mr. Waterman. Wait a minute, Mr. Waterman. It's 8 o'clock and 47 minutes. Hurry up and tell me.
I have to go out at 9 o'clock. It's almost over. Yes, Waterman. Mr. Waterman, please continue.
The bicycle and pedestrian committee, no, I'm kidding. The bicycle and pedestrian committee. Finally, it's organized. Mr. Mark Johnson joined the bicycle and pedestrian committee. Now all seven members are here. Last meeting was not held due to city development plan, maintenance fee, meeting and time overlap. So the committee decided to attend the maintenance fee meeting. Oh, so the members of the committee attended the UB planning meeting. Good. Yes. In relation to the library, The employees provided an update system for the management of library storage data, library selection and entry procedures, and not only library statistics, but also for the use of popular libraries and unpopular library statistics in the North and South Pacific regions. We provided clear information on how library employees actually import books and how to process books that are of high quality. It was a good update. Regarding the operation of the library, we are planning to make some policy changes and minor adjustments. There seems to be some problems with the current staff's job description. Well, if you look at the library-related content, according to the government's announcement, the library advisory committee and the library committee, we call it the committee, I think they're all there. There is also a committee that advises the law, and there is also a planning committee that can actually make decisions, and there is also a committee that simply acts as an advisor. This advisory committee seems to have no clear definition of the role, so we are working on organizing the relevant content. It is planned to organize the role and responsibility of the committee, not the role of an advisor, in a subcommittee. I will focus on this part in the future. And since the library is the center and activity space of the local society, we discussed the idea of providing regular bicycle education by providing the library with space and data and cooperating with the police station. The police station already supports families and children. We also discussed the idea of providing an independent public space for education. This is the end of the discussion at the library meeting. Thank you. The next issue is the time for citizens' opinions and public statements. Are there any citizens who would like to speak? No. All right. Mr. Teresa, I will finish the case review.
You have approved the consent. You have approved the application of 1677, 1678, 1679, and 1685 to be submitted to the second hearing on September 2, 2026. That's all. All right. Mr. P, would you like to agree to hold today's meeting? I'm not going to submit such a consent because I'm insisting on this final decision.
Thank you. Mr. Kelly had to follow the rules. Members, it wasn't my idea, it was Jim's idea. All right. Waterman and Davis proposed and re-elected. Is there anyone who agrees? Is there anyone who disagrees? All right. Kami, we're leaving. Good night. Thank you so much for putting up with us tonight. Have a great time at the festival.
