I tried it once. Here, it worked.

0:02Speaker 2

Now we are online. Okay. Is there anything in the consent calendar that you want to add or change?

0:12Speaker 3

Okay. We have a second to do.

0:14Speaker 4

Second. Conduct a roll call. Commissioner Garver. Hi. Peterson. Hi. York.

0:19Speaker 5

Hi. Carlson. Hi. Mayor Lestrom. Hi.

0:22 – 0:39Speaker 3

Okay. Is there anyone here today who has nothing to do with the agenda? Is everyone fine? It's going well. How about you? Oh, no problem. I have two things to talk to you about.

0:39Speaker 4

Who are you?

0:40 – 1:23Speaker 1

Oh, you are from Montgomery, right? Um, I was born and raised in this area. I grew up here, I studied here, but now I live in Sioux Falls. The first thing I have to say is that I have to bring amateur baseball back to Canton. I'm playing for Parker right now. Canton doesn't have its own team. I want to bring it back to Canton. And I need permission to use the ground. The Amateur team will take care of everything. Find the funds. Find the sponsors. We have to start the league. So I want to include this in your agenda. And the second thing is the summer rep program. I don't know if this is the right group to talk about baseball. My brother-in-law is playing baseball. They don't play t-ball now. So,

1:28Speaker 3

We didn't have a t-ball. I thought we would do it this year. Or there were less people. I mean, there was baseball. Are you looking for a t-ball?

1:36 – 2:05Speaker 1

No, I am looking for permission to start the amateur league. Then next year, my brother-in-law was in the AU team, so I helped him. Most of them are playing baseball for the first time. I know how it is. So... But did they use tea? No, it was the coach's pitch. But the problem I felt was, I'm 41 years old now, but Richelastrom had taught me to play baseball when I was a kid. It's the best memory of my childhood.

2:05Speaker 3

We have baseball, right? No. We have summer rec baseball.

2:10Speaker 1

We have summer rec baseball, but not more. We should say that.

2:33Speaker 4

But, isn't it that the T-Ball is below the T-Ball? Isn't it? Aren't they the ones who start the T-Ball below the T-Ball? Yes, that's how they do it. The ones who are below the 8-ball go to the coach's pitch.

2:42Speaker 2

Yes, the ones who are below the 8-ball go to the coach's pitch. The T-Ball is 6 or 6 years old. That's why... It's different from the time I played.

2:49Speaker 1

I'm 41 years old. That's why I played the T-Ball before 18 years. Stop!

2:58 – 3:17Speaker 4

That's why he stopped. Then he said, we don't have anything under 10. You, 8. No, we have 8. They are playing. I have seen my daughter's play. I have seen boys play. That's why I know they are playing. 8. Yes. You have to make him play with a 6-year-old. Yes. The ball started. The ball started. They need to practice early. Yes.

3:18Speaker 3

That's what I feel when I see you as a person from outside. I have played baseball all my life. I still play. That's why.

3:23Speaker 2

But instead of going to Harrisburg and Lenox, my biggest goal was to bring back the amateur ball from Canton itself. That's why. Yes. Yes.

3:31Speaker 3

We have a rake board. That's why. Yes.

3:35 – 3:49Speaker 4

That would be a risk. Anyway. But a rake board is an ordinary amateur ball. Do they have anything to do with the amateur ball? Who is the CET board? Yes, not at this moment, but they will have.

3:49Speaker 2

Yes, this ground is in our facility. It's from the city.

3:53 – 4:11Speaker 4

So this is from the city, but there used to be amateur teams here. I think everyone has lost interest. That's right. But if the Legion people and BFW and BFW people join, it will be a success again.

4:11Speaker 2

That's right. That's right. Canton Baseball is growing again.

4:15Speaker 4

So, with hope...

4:16Speaker 2

If there are people... That's right.

4:18 – 4:30Speaker 4

They are doing it. Those things. Nick was playing when he was married. That was also that team. That's right. That was in 2018. Does the amateur team have a permanent official status?

4:35 – 5:31Speaker 1

He is managing Justin Parker. They are allowing him to use the ground. Okay. But he came to ask. That's why I'm helping Colton. Colton South Dakota is recruiting their amateur team. If they were allowed to use the ground, that would be enough. The city allows it. Then they have a baseball association for the Tri-Valley. They organize schedules and make sure that no one is in trouble. That's awesome. The amateur teams are a little different. Because we are all experienced. So if we start it, I will accept the financial responsibility of the uniform, accessories, and the umpires, and the baseball players will be paid $125 a year. Most of the time, it's the State Line League. We used to be in the Corn Belt, but before they left, we went to the State Line. The State Line is the most suitable for us. I'm thinking about small kids. It will fit them perfectly. The State Line has changed their style this year. 10 teams, 5 home matches and 5 away matches. So we didn't play anyone twice.

5:45Speaker 4

Yes. Okay. My contact details are with you, right? We can talk more about this. Okay.

5:50Speaker 3

That's all I have to say. Thank you, Joey.

5:53Speaker 4

Thank you. Thank you for coming forward.

5:55 – 6:30Speaker 2

No problem. Okay. Does anyone else have anything to say? We can move forward. There are no old issues left. There is an issue in the new business. It is the airport infrastructure grant. The United States Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act project has been granted a grant offer. This is for the Camp Municipal Airport. It is important to authorize the mayor to sign the grant. Do you want to make it clear that this grant is only for the grant to be granted? Yes. Okay, okay. So,

6:40 – 7:42Speaker 4

I don't think this is a part of what we voted for a month ago. I think it was a pre-application. I believe that. The only thing that caught my attention was the amount of money, which I thought was in that list. Yes, if they give all the money, the entire cost of that project or the cost of that project will be determined. The cost of that project, that's what you described, isn't it? We don't have to accept it, do we? That's why... We don't have to move forward, right? Kyle, even if they grant us, we can say we want it. That's the basic principle. What I have understood from what I have read, is that you will get a few years to use it. I don't think so. That is, if you have any wishes, we can wait. Tell me about the email you sent me. I and you both are getting it, right? Yes. Come to me. Thank you for accepting that responsibility. No, this signature is required in the FII's automatic system application. So this is a permit that allows them to request.

7:45 – 8:05Speaker 3

Yes. There are no expenses in this request or the permit, right? Then I suggest you accept it. Okay, we have a suggestion to accept this request. Is there anyone who wants to vote? Anyone? Okay, the vote has been accepted.

8:05Speaker 4

Commissioner Peterson. Yes. York. Yes. Carlson.

8:09Speaker 4

Garbers. Yes. Mayor Elstrom.

8:12Speaker 3

Yes. So, it's passed. And that's it for today, friends. And a small speech from the commissioners. Do you have anything to say? Nothing. Not at all. Everything.

8:25 – 10:04Speaker 4

The Carnival of Varanthiyam was a success. How was it financially? I heard. Um. It will be spent from 33 hands. Twenty-eight. Twenty-eight will be spent from hand. Twenty-eight, if we are responsible for other things in the Porta Contest. I haven't seen that bill, but twenty-eight. Chamber said that they will spend the Porta Contest. Then, we gave twenty-eight. Twenty-eight was correct. What about the other thing? Twenty-eight, that was eighteen. Then, we gave ten thousand in advance. Yes, we are the same. Even if it is not permanent, what else? We got a small response from the Baptist church. The people in the north were a little disappointed. Yes, they were. They did not receive any complaints directly from the house next to the park. They had a big problem with a house next to the school. What car was there in York before? An EV. Yes, an electrical vehicle. It had to be charged. Oh. But Um couldn't get there. But a new plug-in was installed in West Ballfield. So she could charge her car. She got it. Okay. Um, we bought the box earlier. Because it was going to be installed somewhere for the carnival. So it was in our hands. We installed it. So now, Um, who has his own adapter, can charge his car in West Ballfield. Yes. The carnival went well.

10:05 – 12:03Speaker 4

Two things. Alarm. They think they're doing the right thing. But they're still standing. Whose is it? Lincoln County or us? It's ours. It's ours. They're rebuilding the old place or... Yes. New one. A new one will come. That one is destroyed. So... Federal Signal talks about 6-10 weeks. They send a group to set up a new post. Finally, they have to write a medical report on it. That's right. They were waiting for the Excel medical report to be written. So, yes, if that's the case, we have to. Are we bringing things to a state where there is nothing? In my opinion, 6-10 weeks is what I think. There is a possibility of something bad happening in between. We are almost done. Work on the other side. Work on the other side. That's right. Then we do. Then we move as fast as we can. This year, we got a quad from another city that gave us a quad. So, when the siren rings in your area, call me. Because we can't hear it here. I can call you from my house. If you have a mobile phone with you, most of the time, if it is bad, it will come out. It comes through your mobile phone. Yes, I know it will come. I don't get it. Secondly, Chris, do you have anything to say about this? If we see it again tonight, the railway and their trees will be destroyed. That's all we need. They're not going to fix it. Can we fix it? We can save money and send it to them. We can expect them to pay for it. They won't pay for it. That's part of it. You know, the other problem is that you are in control of your federal assets. Yes, that's a hundred percent. But, I have worked 30 feet away from the railway before. Then they will stop that train and really punish you. Kyle, didn't they say that if we want to clean up a few years ago, we have to pay and get it done and then send a bill?

12:08Speaker 3

When we saw him there. Yes.

12:09Speaker 4

But he is not there now. He got it. He lost the promise he made.

12:15Speaker 1

He might have gone to work now.

12:16Speaker 3

That is, Chris is staying near it. I am in that room near it.

12:20Speaker 4

You can see them using the Kalanashini nozzles. They are spraying as far as they can. It is more than a Dolnobi. The length of the spray is different. After that, it is a piece.

12:38Speaker 1

It's clear that they haven't sprayed here.

12:40Speaker 3

It's passing by the side.

12:42 – 13:19Speaker 4

There. I think the trees on the railway are there. Isn't it, Chris? These trees. That thing is Udamastu's. It's not part of the railway. Oh, it came from the big tree under the garage. The same silver maple. It's the fifth time. The same. But there are a lot of dried trees there. The dried ones are there. When I looked up, there were about 130-odd ash trees. Half a mile away. From here to the school. No, I checked the whole railway track. Oh, right. From here to the school. There's a picture there. There's a board. 30. 40. I think there's one of these trees.

13:19Speaker 3

The traffic on Third Street is very slow.

13:23 – 13:39Speaker 4

So we'll have to stop and check. I can't look after him. You have to stop and look after him. I know he talks a lot in the afternoon. But Tiny is not like that.

13:39 – 13:50Speaker 3

It's more difficult when he's on the bike. He can sit in the car. But the railway property of Bonnie is on the bike. I spray those stains myself. They are all on the floor. I don't need much time to do that. I don't need that.

13:50 – 14:20Speaker 4

Some housewives don't understand that. You shouldn't get caught on top of the railway property. They will get very angry. You don't have to pay their people to look after you. I think we should call someone to start. Not us. Yes. We are not going to get any compensation for it. Even though my brother's business in Milton Street had an old depot, the situation is bad. Yes. Even if you stop the car because it's too high, you can't see anything through the cracks. Oh, that's a one-way, isn't it? Yes. Yes. That's why Avideh. That's why Avideh Hour.

14:20 – 14:35Speaker 3

It's a completely safe and safe route. The reason for the cracks. Can you do that for the South Dakota Transportation Department? We can change that.

14:35 – 15:17Speaker 4

That's why. I know they have a state assessment. Because it's a disaster. They are state-assessed utilities. I'm wondering if we can send them a bill. Yes, that person. I think you two can go. When he came, he told us about all the grants that we were entitled to. He told us about the river. He said that if we talk to the right people, things will work out. Oh, yes, we have to do that. We have to clean it up. I'm not against you. I thought we got the answer that day. He said, yes, do it. And then he sent it to us. Send us the bill. I'm thinking. I don't think you'll get permission for it.

15:22Speaker 3

It's over. Yes. Okay, Chris. Um.

15:24 – 17:59Speaker 4

I think the carnival is going well. I hope the civil war days are going well. Um. The sound is not that bad, I said in an opinion. The house suddenly creaked. To tell you the truth, I... I'm telling you a personal experience. I was in my garage. My black lab dog was running back and forth. She left the house, got out of the car through the door, went somewhere in the sun, and when I stood in the garage, she came back with her legs between her legs. I thought she was at home, so there was no problem, but... Civil war was good. There were 1500 people there on Saturday. I think that's how it is. I think Lisa said 1500. They should have it on Sunday. It may be more or less than that. They didn't have that many people two years ago. No, I'm asking. It was more. Lisa said that more people participated than in the past years. Good media attention was given to you. Yes, Kelland gave it. Good. And the other one is, since school starts tomorrow, everyone should know one thing. Yes. We can't believe that time flew so fast. So, pay attention. You are working in the task force for scooters, right? Can they take it to school? Yes. Oh, yes. Because our principal uses it. Yes. Yes. There are many scooters in the bike rack in the morning. No, scooter rack. It's a scooter rack. We moved some of the crosswalks around high school and elementary schools this morning. So, okay, that's good. But you may have moved them. There is one in the corner of Chad, but not in the corner of the street. Did you move it? No, we haven't moved anything. There is one in the corner of Chad. Not one. Since the pool is closed, don't you want to move the crosswalk from Third Street to Elder Lake? Dakota. If we hadn't done that, there wouldn't have been so many people there. No, I told you, there's one in your corner. Yes, there's one in my corner. Then there's another one below. The school is two blocks away, right? On Third Street and Dakota. Right. I thought it was there because it was the main road for the kids to go to school. A-I-S-A-W-E-I-S-W-A-Y-A-A

18:02 – 18:20Speaker 5

What is the name of this bird? What is the name of this bird? What is the name of this bird? What is the name of this bird?

18:20Speaker 1

What is the name of this bird?

18:40 – 19:04Speaker 5

Ae sa insayayabe seas. E a eva. Saob avse e ayaba. Wa isen aswa. Wa awa. E ese e oa. E ese eva. Oya. Oi.

19:09 – 19:24Speaker 5

Sisi. Heaveave. Heaveave. Heaveave. Heaveave. Heaveave. Heaveave. Heaveave.

19:25 – 20:07Speaker 3

Heaveave. Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa What is this? What is this?

20:10Speaker 5

What is this? What is this?

20:13Speaker 3

What is this? What is this?

20:32 – 21:17Speaker 4

M-A-O-R-M-A-O-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A-R-M-A- Even if we give money to all the different supplemental plans, when they change from city insurance, it will help us make a lot of money. Are you still working? Yes, she is still working. Yes. And then you will have to add some new things to the personal manual. Because if we do this now, others will have to give it to us. But this will mostly help us to reduce our expenses.

21:22Speaker 3

Will the insurance we give now still make a difference in our work and health insurance?

21:30 – 23:54Speaker 4

It's not like that in the way we write. Okay. Umm. Because I used to work after I got my Medicare. Then I had to find my own insurance. My company didn't cover it. Yes, I wish it was more clear. If I felt I could fix it, I would have done it. But I don't think it's possible. What we're saying is that we should accept it. If we give it. Okay. Supplements are very profitable. Yes. Yes. Even if we add three supplements that this person is interested in, we can earn about $1,000 a month. Oh, of course. Of course. I agree. Also, this will help that person to get into the game. Without waiting for the game, they will get to know about the previous Medicare. They will get to know more about that program and everything else. Okay. Anything else? No, madam. Oh, you wanted to talk about that. Oh, yes. Yes. Forgive me. Oh, last time we completely forgot about the problems we discussed. In the end, there was a lack of agreements. They got that information last week. They have already distributed new problems. It is in our office. We are investigating it. Oh, okay. So, we will let you know about the problems. The finance officer has to make an official request to you, whether we will do it or not. 101. Right. The 5% of registered voters is 1. Then, OO. The next important thing is whether we can prove it. Is it an easy task or is it necessary to make a special decision at the right time? Okay, what is the final date? We are not 100% sure. We have to testify to our legislators within the 25th date. Oh, August! August! No, the 18th is tomorrow. That's when we have to submit the fees. Oh, is it then? The county needs our details by the 25th to start the strike. Oh, to the commissioner's office.

23:54Speaker 3

Yes. This month, the 25th. Yes, yes.

23:58Speaker 4

We have to submit the fees tomorrow. Then we have to tell the county what the names of the residents in Balat are.

24:10Speaker 3

Has anyone taken the harji? Do we know? I haven't heard anything. Two people. Go. That's good.

24:16Speaker 4

I don't think we are this close. I don't think we are this close.

24:22Speaker 3

You are very close. In fact, we are this close. Only 24 hours down. Okay. I have nothing. So, do you have anything to say? No.

24:32Speaker 4

He did it for me. Thank you. He did it for you. Okay.

24:35Speaker 3

I welcome the promise to break the yoke. Promise? Second call.

24:41Speaker 5

Commissioner Mark York. Hi, Carlson.

24:44Speaker 5

Garbers. Hi, Peterson. Yes, Strom.

24:47Speaker 3

Hi. The call is disconnected. The time is not 7.30.

24:57Speaker 4

It should have been like that.
