Thank you, council. First item is going to be dispersement of permit fees paid by server form. Uh I think in your packets there should be a breakout of that. So we met with the staff and we talked about the uh the real need in the in the budget right now with Lisa. We'd ask for a good vote on this one. What we're talking about is the $2,90,000 that was paid by server farm for their construction permit. And we what do we do? 1 million for street improvement to replenish some of that that we spent on the ball field. Uh 500,000 for aquatic maintenance since we've spent so much on the aquatic facilities. And then uh parks improvements.

What was it? I think it's 130 parks improvements. 170 is what's on here? Yeah. Parks improvements. So, you guys got that list there. Yeah, it should be. Yes. Could I ask a question before? Yes, ma'am. Um I know that uh this is from the permitting fee from server farm, correct? Is there any way that Cody maybe could just inform us about how those permitting fees are charged and and uh collected?

Ask your question. Could you just expand on how those permitting fees are charged? And

so in Yeah, in our ordinance and planning zoning um is a breakdown. we either use the IBC or we go off of um what the fair market value is of what they give us what they're spending. So on this we broke it off of um the ICC which is set by the state and then we have a breakdown. It's 500,000 or $1675 for the first 500,000 then $2 per thousand after that. So after you figure it all it was 314 million per building. So after you get it all together, that's that's your numbers you come up with. Okay. So it's based on the con the square footage. Yeah. Construction cost, classifications, things like that. All businesses

all businesses in Clark's buildings treated the same. Yeah. Yes. So there was there was no discount so to speak. No, on this permit. No. No discounts at all. I just wanted to make that very clear. Yeah. It can't without your permission. And at some point we're going to bring a community benefits agreement to you that would include something like that. Yes, ma'am. But not until you approve it. Y So one one quick question. I'm sorry. Uh is this the complete project or just a section of the project? That's just those sections of the project going on right now. That's I wanted to make make sure that that was clear as well. Right now they're building four buildings. So thank you. Thank you, Cody.

Yeah, you better. Well, I don't have any problem with us spending some some of that money, but I I would like to see $1 million put in our reserve fund. So, to cover what we've already taken out. You me this one again? Yeah, go ahead. So, we um on the phasing of this Eddie, we're actually here coming up not too long from now, will be another phase of this uh construction where you will have more money coming back to you also. Then we put the half half in them, too. So, I mean I mean I I'll help Stanley out on this one. I mean what we spent out of street improvement and at the aquatic center I mean you know they they need it back in there for sure. Are are we out of money?

No doubt the street improvement is a lot lower than I understand that aquatic deadline is it? Yeah. Yeah. Aquatic. I I have to agree with Eddie about saving. Um we have cashed in a CD recently and we have spent a lot. Um I would I would like to see some of it saved. I agree that we do need to put some things back into street and aquatic but um well we need to save some money. Let me offer you this. Uh general fund is about 1.6 6 million. How much do we have in CDs right now? 5 and a half million.

5.2 million. So basically we've got roughly three and a half years of reserve. It's it there's a fine line between when you we're a service organization. The money you bring in, you're supposed to be using for services in the community versus stockpiling money and using it to draw make money. and we're getting close to the threshold where folks are saying if you've got that much tax money, you know, to set back, then you need to reduce my taxes. So, I would say because we do have the need in street improvement and aquatic center and parks that since we do have it in reserve, I I would suggest that we go ahead and spend this money as opposed to setting it back when we have five million in reserve.

What if we have a tornado? So you combine how much would it take for to rebuild the city after we had a tornado. So general fund right now is 1.6 million. All in's 4.2. But you're not going to lose. But you know I was thinking at one time we had like $8 million. Never. Not in my time. Yeah. In street improvement.

Oh seven. Yeah. 7 million. When I came in you had 356,000 in street improvement. We built it up to 7.4. But if you have a tornado come through, you're going to have number one, you're going to have emergency management. You're going to have insurance. You're gonna have Adam help you out. Then you've got five million in reserve to fulfill 1.6. So you'll be able to replace the 1.6 million for three and a half, four years while you rebuild. Then you you put in your your emergency uh management support, your atom support. We are perfectly fine at this point. literally could run the city. I if I don't have any problem with it, but I I would still like to see us save a little bit, put some some of it back in.

No. And and I respect that. I just think after looking at it, we saved plenty and we're getting to the point where, you know, we need to start reducing taxes if we're saving that much money. So, yeah. How much was that other CD that we cashed in? 400,000 was the one we cashed in last year. And was that the ARPA money that the federal government gave us? That wasn't Honestly, I don't know. It was It was the ARPA dollars that the federal government provided us. Did the budget committee didn't meet on this, did they? No. Just as a staff looking at the needs, this is this was the real need.

May I ask a question, Mayor? Sure. Uh Cody, u the future u permits and stuff. Do we have any idea of what amount amount that? I mean, I'm not going to hold you to anything, but I I I don't. Okay. It would it be somewhere you're thinking half of this or in the neighborhood of this? I I I can't answer that one. Okay. What we could say, Rob, is that it's it's of no concern. How do you how do you mean that? I just mean it's of no concern. That's,

you know, we still have we still have a we're going to get to in a minute a $2 million um project for Grizzly Ammo to talk about. And what he what we can talk about legally is only what we can talk about is on paper. And we don't have anything else on paper at this point. Yeah, that that was really my the intent of my question is if we have anything in the works right now. It's a fine line. Okay. Not officially. No. Understand?

Well, the thing about it is if we put a million dollars in in the in the in our surplus fund, we can always take it out. I mean, we we've drawn from surplus for years, but uh but the street improvement needs it now. Well, that parks needs that now and it's money that was injected from outside that we didn't have to impose a a burden on anybody. Lisa, are we low on our on our budget or are we over budgeting on anything?

Our budget's good except for aquatic. If we don't put some money in aquatic, then we're just going to have to transfer it from general anyway because we've spent so much money on improvements and it doesn't bring in that much. It doesn't bring in Right. It doesn't pay for itself. It's a community service, but it's a Can you remind me how much we took out of street improvements to finish the ballparks? I don't remember how much that was. 6.8 million for the ballpark. 6.8.

That would be the total. They're they're almost done with it. I think we owe them a little over a million dollars. So street improvement does need some money. Yeah, we have several projects and stuff that we do and we were doing our paving streets out of that fairly low street improvement. Seems like it maybe it's 1.9 and we still 1.6 And we still horny on that.

We still have the parking lot, the lighting and stuff on that as well.

Will we do we need a like a motion to allow for this dispersement to go forward as it is? Yes. Well, I make that motion. Do we have a second? Second. Miss Lisa, would you call the RO? Ringinger? Yes. Crystal Thompson? No. Baker? Yes. Bradley? Yes. King? No.

Thank you, council. Item B is going to be settlement for the Summerland vehicle damage. Stanley, you want to come up and This damage happened on Interstate Drive. We had There's only one way in and out of this. Stanley backup. Do you need a Do you need a an affirmation vote from the council on that last Well, we need a question because I said it passed 32, but she said you'd have to have it doesn't require twothirds majority vote, so it should pass. 32. Okay.

This incident happened out on Interstate Drive. There's only one way in and out of that subdivision. We had flaggers there and everything and they had the car stop and of all the cars, this is the only car that had any damage to it. So, you have to dig so much out to put your asphalt in and hot mix. You have to do it all at the same time. So, when they let her come on, I think she went a little fast while I was told I didn't see it and she damaged her car dropping off into that. Could things been done a little different? I'm sure they could have, you know, but that was the only car we did get damaged, but I think it tore the spoiler on the front of her car. And and where was this come where's this coming from?

It would have to come out of the street improvement on that project. We were doing that the drainage council just need a good good motion to approve that from street improvements. How much? It's 185750. Well, do you have it? Do they did you put that in their packets? Yeah. Yeah. For that amount, 1857. I make a motion to spend 185750 out of the street improvement project. Second. Miss Lisa. Crystal Thompson. Yes. Baker, yes. Bradley,

yes. King, yes. Risinger, yes. Thank you, council. Next is going to be the planning and zoning nominations. Um it's tough to get somebody to volunteer for these boards, but we had two two good nominees there. And uh Matt Bey and um Josie, he made me put her official name on it. Good. Josie Lee. Just need a motion to approve that those nominees. Make a motion we approve the two nominees for planning and zoning. Second, Miss Lisa Baker, yes. Bradley, yes. King, yes. Yes. Thompson,

yes.

Thank you, council. 6D is going to be Drake Estates ordinance. Miss Lisa, could you read that ordinance, please? An ordinance approving the final plat of Drake Estate subdivision phase two and accepting the dedication of the streets therein to the city of Clarksville, Arkansas and for other purposes. Whereas the final plat of Dra Estate subdivision phase 2 to the city of Clarksville, Arkansas was prepared by Alan Miller pls dated the 13th day of April 2026. And whereas the final plat was approved by the city of Clarksville planning commission on the 26th day of March 2026. And whereas the city engineers reviewed viewed the plat documents and res acceptance of the dedication of streets, rightway and easement shown on the plat required by Arkansas code annotated 14301102 before such dedications become effective as public streets are under the care or control of the city council. I therefore be it ordained by the city council of the city of Clarksville, Arkansas, section one, the final plan of Dragon Estate subdivision phase two to the city of Clarksville, Arkansas as shown by the plat made by Alan Miller BLS on the 13th day of April 2026 and approved by city of Clarksville planning commission on the 26th day of March 2026.

Thank you. We'll open discussions. I know the the builders here, Cody, Salem, Travis, you guys want to address the council with anything or Sure. I just know this. It is good news to see that houses being built cuz we we we're going to need them. We are definitely going to need them. So,

well, I'm Travis Horn. I know most of you fairly well in here. I think it's a it's a small town. Obviously, been building here for 25 years. I think you guys got some challenges that uh are coming ahead of you with some things that are happening in the city and that I think this is the only second subdivision that's been put in for R1 since I've been building in this city and I did the other one as well since Steuart Place. I think this is it. But I think there's a need for it. The problem is is the infrastructure cost that go into a project like this. I'd also like to say there should be an easier way to do this. I think I've been working on this about a year. Uh, you know, it took seven months to come to futation where we could even start on it. And for a person that just does work like this, it's hard. I mean, there's a there's a hard process to go through. There's a lot of hurdles you run into. I feel like we should have been to this stage months ago, and we're not. A lot of it is ignorance on my part, but there should be some some easier ways to make this happen. I think with some of the funds that are coming in, you guys should should consider possibly helping developers, not necessarily myself, any developers that wanted to come in and do any kind of development like this to where you have subdivisions for R1 and nice homes in the area because they're not happening and it's because of the cost up front. I think a lot of cities cost share some of that stuff either utility companies or the cities and I don't think Clarksville has um taken in any of that uh for sure thus far with me on this project for uh in any way and it just costs a lot. I know you guys got the plats there in front of you. You know, this is uh been back and forth with Stanley and Cody. I think everything uh we we've crossed all the tees and dotted all the eyes as far as all that goes. And uh we still got a little bit of hurdles. We're 95%

complete with uh the water, sewer, and electric right now. Um we're holding off to put the streets down until we start building some of the homes just because we put so much heavy trucks on them immediately that it's really hard tears the streets up. So we've come to an agreement that, you know, we'll start the homes and get them to a certain stage and then we'll put the black top down and it should be nice and new whenever the homes are done and shouldn't have all that heavy traffic on them right then. But if you guys have any questions, uh, I'm here to answer anything you guys have for sure. If not, appreciate you guys. One thing I'll add is, uh, usually on this we would do a continuous on the letter of credit or bond, but I do have Travis's letter of credit, so um, that was the only thing we was missing. So, I'll give this to Lisa. legislative audience okay with that?

Yeah, that's because they weren't on the bike trails on the streets either credit or council questions. Is there a motion to suspend the rules and place on second reading? Second. Second. Miss Lisa Bradley. Yes. King. Yes. Risinger. Yes. Crystal. Yes. Baker. Yes. Could you read by title, please?

An ordinance approving the final plat of Drake Estate subdivision phase two accepting the dedication of the streets there into the city of partial Arkansas and for other purposes. Okay. Is there a motion to suspend rules on the third reading? So move. Second. Second. Miss Lisa King. Yes. Ringinger. Yes. Crystal Thompson. Yes. Baker. Yes. Bradley. Yes. Could you read by title one more time, please? An ordinance approving the final plat of Drake Estate subdivision phase 2 and accepting the dedication of the streets there to the city of Clarksville, Arkansas, and for other purposes. Is there a motion to adopt the ordinance? Move.

Second. Second. Okay, Miss Lisa. Rosinger, yes. Thompson, yes. Baker, yes. Bradley, yes. Yes. Thank you, council. There's not an emergency clause in that, is there? There is. Is there section five? Is there is there a motion to find that emergency exists? Second. Second, Miss Lisa. Crystal Thompson. Yes, Baker. Yes, Bradley. Yes, King. Yes, Russinger.

Yes. Thank you, council.

I I would just, you know, Travis, to your point, I would say um like for for instance, and for the council's knowledge that we require sidewalk on on these developments. That's that's an added expense to these where I wish we would just get to where planning and zoning would require an easement for us to come back and build the sidewalks. That cuts down quite a bit of cost. But outside of that, it's life safety and we don't fudge on them at all. And we make sure those things get done. Uh, Miss Lisa, could you read the ordinance 6E ordinance for sign code?

An ordinance to amend article seven signs of designing code of the city of Clarksville, Arkansas to allow one additional freestanding sign on qualifying double bridge lots near interstate highways and for other purposes. Whereas the city of Clarksville, Arkansas desires to promote economic development and enhance business visibility for properties adjacent to the interstate highway corridor. And whereas double frontage lots located near interstate highways present unique opportunities for improved signage that can benefit local businesses while maintaining the overall purposes of the sign regulation set forth in article 7 of the zoning code. Nor as a city council finds that the limited exception provided hearing is consistent with the goals of article 7.1 purpose to promote an visual environment foster public safety and support the local economy and complies with all applicable state and federal regulations governing on premise signage. Now therefore be it ordained by the city council of the city of parts Arkansas section one article seven signs of the zoning code of the city of parts Arkansas is hereby amended by adding a new section 7.14 entitled additional freestanding sign and double fring lots near interstate which shall read as follows section 7.14 additional freestanding sign and double fridge lots near interstate notwithstanding any other provision of this article property properties qualifying as double fridge lot shall be permitted additional freestanding signs subject to the following conditions. One, eligibility. The property must be a be legally recognized as a double fridge lot with frontage on two public rideways and B be located within 400 ft of the rideway of an interstate highway. Two, measurements of 400 ft shall be measured in a straight line from the nearest property boundary line to the nearest interstate highway rightway line. Three, location of additional sign. The additional freestanding sign should be located along the secondary branch or oriented toward the interstate corridor provided it complies with all applicable setback height and visibility requirements of this article. Four,

compliance with existing standards. Additional signs shall comply with all other applicable regulations governing freestanding signs including but not limited to maximum height, surface area elimination, spacing, and safety requirements unless otherwise specifically modified. period. Five, limitation in no other event shall more than two freestanding signs be permitted on a single lot under this provision. Six, permitting required. A signed permit shall be obtained prior to installation of any additional freestanding sign authorized by this section. Section two, severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional, invalid for any reason, such holdings shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. Section three, repeal or all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict here with or hereby repeal to the extent of such conflict. Section four, emergency clause. Due to the need to promote economic growth and business development within the city limits of the city of parts, Arkansas, which will aid in the city's financial and economic stability and promote the health, safety, and welfare of its residents, the emergency is hereby declaring this ordinance shall be effective immediately upon passage and approval.

Thank you, Lisa. We're open for discussion. Cody will address the council on what this is about.

This has been something going on for a long time. We keep on um have people come to us for variances. So typically whenever you keep getting requests for variance over and over and over, you know, it's time to go look at your code book. So we looked at this where right now you're only allowed one freestanding sign anywhere inside the city. So what we done is just took the interstate corridor all the way down I40 on north and south side of the interstate um with double frontage lots be allowed to have two signs. Height restrictions still require for example Brahms. Um they're fix have to come back to us for another variance for the height restriction. So what they'll come in, they'll fly the blimp, do their drones, be able to look down the interstate and say, "Hey, you know, going westbound, that sign's got to be 105 ft for me to be able to see it, be able to time break in time to be able to take the exit." So that's why this is in front of you today.

I have a question. Why do we have an emergency clause attached to it? So I in in in in two weeks bronze will have their variance because right now their sign builder is just waiting to build their sign and it is a timesensitive uh matter. Well I know you don't like mercy clauses. Well I can see maybe for financial and economic stability but to promote health, safety and welfare of its citizens. That's that's a clay question there. I understand that's that's in all of them but in this particular case I I don't see that. It's just regular verbish. I'm gonna run with Ed on that one. Said first all the time.

That's my only question. On this one there there truly is a a genuine reason to have it um passed immediately because we're probably got to get those signs up. How long has P&Z been working on? I I know we had discussed three two months year back years ago. We started on this two months ago. We're on month three. If you remember Rob, when you were on there, we had Jim Bon Tungland come in. The one thing he said, if you keep having variances, you need to change your code. And this thing has got variance upon variance upon variance. So, it it does need to change. We, you know, we gave him a variance month and a half ago on, you know, our height is 35 foot. The one they're putting on Rogers, they wanted 40 foot. So, we still had to give them a height uh variance on that one and size.

And you're easing restrictions down the I40 corridor only. It's more commercial than any other part of town. Not it's not like you can do it in downtown Bar. So it's pretty reasonable in my opinion. So for them to like I said for them to get the height they're going to fly the like Loves did with their big sign. Yeah. They'll fly it. They'll bring us the the draw in saying hey this is how far we was when we had to hit our brakes. Any other questions? Do we have a motion to suspend the rules and place it on a second reading? So move. Second. Second. Miss Lisa Baker. Yes. Bradley. Yes. King. Yes. Risinger. Yes. Thson. Yes. Could you read my title, please?

An ordinance to amend article 7 designing code of the city of Clarks of Arkansas to allow one additional freestanding sign on qualifying double lots near interstate highways and for other purposes. Do we have a motion to suspend the rules and place it on its third reading? Move. Second. Second. Lisa Bradley, yes. King, yes. Ringinger, yes. Thompson, yes. Baker, yes. Is there is there a motion to adopt the ordinance? So move. Second. Second. Miss Lisa King. Yes. Risinger. Yes. Miss Thompson, yes. Baker,

yes. Bradley, yes. Is there most to find that an emergency? So move. Second. Second. Miss Lisa. Risinger. No. Thompson. Yes. Baker. Yes. Bradley. Yes. King. Yes. Thank you, council.

And I really appreciate playing the zone with getting outside the box and trying to free up enterprise, especially on the interstate. on the meth is going to be wave the bidding for the PD. Lisa, could you read that when you're ready? See if I can get an ordinance lading competitive bidding requirements and improving the soul source procurement for taser body cameras, incar video systems, and associated digital evidence storage services for the Clarksville Police Department and for other purposes. Whereas the city of Clarksville, Arkansas is authorized under ACA 1458303b to weigh competitive bidding requirements in exceptional situations where such procedures are deemed not feasible or practical. And whereas the city where the Carson Police Department currently utilizes an integrated law enforcement technology platform provided by Exxon Enterprises Incorporated, including conducted energy devices, tasers, bodywn cameras, incar video systems, and cloud-based digital evidence storage. And whereas Axon Enterprise Incorporated is a sole provider of its propri proprietary hardware software and evidence.com digital evidence management system and no other vendor can provide equipment and services fully compatible with the city's existing system. And Rosa City has made a substantial prior investment in Exxon Enterprises Incorporated's ecosystem, including equipment, training, and the accumulation of digital evidence critical to law enforcement operations. And whereas the continuity, integrity, chain of custody, and accessibility of digital evidence are essential to criminal investigations, prosecutions, and compliance with evidentiary standards. And whereas transition to another vendor would result in one significant risk of loss, corruption, or inaccessibility of existing digital evidence. Two, inability inability to seamlessly transfer or convert historical data due to proprietary formats. Three, disruption of law enforcement operations and officers for safety. And four, additional cost associated with system

replacement, retraining, potential duplication of services. And whereas the city council specifically finds that one, Exxon Enterprise Incorporated constitutes a sole source provider for these goods and services. Two, competitive bidding would not result in functionality functionally equivalent system. And three, competitive bidding is therefore not feasible or practical under these circumstances. Unless the total estimated contract value for said equipment and services is $21,772.86 for term of 60 months to be paid from the police maintenance fund. And as it is in the best interest of the city to ensure and rein interrupted law enforcement operations, preserve critical digital evidence and maintain officer and public safety. Now therefore, be it ordained by the city council of the city of Clark, Arkansas, section one, waiver of competitive fitting pursuant to ACA 1458303b. The city council hereby determines that competitive bidding for the procurement of tasers, body warn cameras, and incar systems and associated visual evidence storage services is not physical or practical and hereby waves the requirement for competitive building. Section two, soul source procurement approved. The city council hereby finds and declares that Exxon Enterprise Incorporated is a sales source provider for the required equipment and services due to the proprietary nature of its integrated system and the necessity of compatibility with the city's existing digital evidence platform. Section three, authorization of contract. The mayor's hereby authorized to enter into agreement and execute all necessary documents with Axon Enterprise Incorporated for the purchase, lease, maintenance, and ongoing service of such equipment services with a total estimated contract value to exceed $21,772.86 over a 60-month term funded through the police maintenance fund. Section four, justification. The waiver and soul source procurement are justified based upon one compatibility and integration with existing systems. two, preservation

and accessibility of existing digital evidence. Three, the proprietary and soul source nature of the provider. And four, the determination that competitive bidding would not yield a functionally equivalent or practical alternative. Section five, emergency call is hereby family determined that the immediate continuation of law enforcement equipment and digital evidence systems is essential to the preservation of public peace, health, and safety. Therefore, the emergency is declared to exist and this ordinance shall be in full force in effect from and after its passage of approval.

Thank you. C chief, you want to come up with in the meantime, council, I just want before he starts, I want to point out something right here to you in this ordinance. And of all the times I've been there, I always wondered how this would how this would apply. There's always been questionable times, but I've never seen a statement applying towards a a competitive bid waving more relevant than that one right there. Transitioning to another vendor would result in significant risk of loss, corruption, or inaccessibility of existing digital evidences towards ongoing cases. That is a that is a huge statement and our prosecutor can tell you there it's putting all that evidentiary stuff at risk. That is a that is one of the strongest reasons I've ever seen for waving a competitive bid. So, Chief, I'll let you

How many other vendors are there? There's only one. That's Motorola. Yeah. Now, the the reason for the uh for that statement is if we were for whatever reason to switch to Motorola, we would still have to pay Axon to maintain our records for the past seven, eight years. So, that's that's kind of why it makes sense for us to stay where we are at. we'd have to it they won't transfer over and it's it's evidence so it has to we need it to stay and that's why we need this uh sole source waiver and what is Axon what are those

Axon is uh what we use it they provide tasers they provide the bodywn cameras they also provide the incar cameras and they also provide the uh the docking stations the taser cartridges, which is a big deal because you got to train with them every year. Those things cost $40 a shot. And uh and also the memory backup, the cloud-based memory where we secure all of our videos from our patrol. It's it's every bit of our media and uh video evidence comes from the

drones. The the drones are on a separate system all together. Yeah. I do not the the price on that. I want to y'all have all that, but I want to break it down for you real quick. It's going to be paid out yearly on this page here. Uh, and y'all should have it. It's going to break down what the yearly cost is to the city. Uh, 394 for the first year, 4591, 4591, 459. That's how that's how we will actually pay that out by the year.

So, Chief, just for the record, how do you how do we address the fact that this council cannot budget for future council's budgets? We can't we can't future budget. How did you account for that? We can we can set that money aside if we need to the total amount. U if if that's what we have to do, then we'll be happy to do that. But I was if we can't do it, we can't do that. You can allocate it this year and you carry it over year to year, right? We can do that. Okay. Is that right, Lisa? Just to be clear, if we were to change systems,

I'm being hypothetical here. This 2011770286 would basically be a drop in the bucket to what it would cost us to convert, retrain, re-equip it. It would be an overhaul of the light switch. I've never seen now and also to your point this emergency clause. I always think of you and then you brought it up. All right. The reason why the emergency clause, we have secured rebates from Axon to get that price right there. All right. We we've been working on this for two months. All right. Uh, and you can see it in the paperwork. We're we're getting a a a nice rebate, a nice savings to the city that was given to us in the first quarter of this year. All right. If we don't secure this, then we will not receive those rebates that that they have allotted to us for this.

That's the reason for the emergency call. That's the reason for the emergency call. Thank you for an explanation. That's fine. Well, Travis explained his earlier and I was going to kind of ask the same. Thank you very much.

And and what it what it does, it gets us, we have been doing this kind of allocart down through the years. What this does, this gets all of our equipment back on the same replacement cycle. This the uh gets us back on the same contract, same license. It ties everything back in together to where we can not have to come to y'all year, you know, time and time again for this piece, for that piece. Um, it just it's going to replace all our older taser units, all our older camera units. It'll put them on the same replacement cycle. Don't have to buy them all a cart. Uh, and by getting on the 5-year plan, it it actually because it's a bundle, that's what it is. The units cost less because we're bundling them together than buying them piece by piece. Yeah.

Thank you, Chief. Any motion to suspend the rules and place it on it second reading? So move second. Miss Lisa Chris Thompson. Yes. Baker. Yes. Bradley. Yes. King. Yes. Yes. Could you read my title, please? an ordinance waving competitive bidding requirements and approving a soul source procurement for ters bodywn cameras and car video systems and associated digital evidence storage services for the Clarksville Police Department and for other purposes. Is there a motion to suspend the rules and place it on its third reading? So move second. Miss Lisa Baker, yes. Bradley, yes. King, yes. Ringer,

yes. Chris Thompson, yes. Could you read my title, please? An ordinance waving competitive bidding requirements and approving a soul source procurement for tasers, body warn cameras, incar video systems, and associated digital evidence storage services for Clark Police Department and for other purposes. Any final questions, concerns? Not entertain a motion to adopt the ordinance. So move second. Bradley, yes. King, yes. Russer, yes. Crystal Thompson, yes. Baker. Yes. We have a motion to find that emergency exist. So move second.

King. Yes. Risinger. Yes. Crystal Thompson. Yes. Baker. Yes. Bradley. Yes. Thank you, council. Uh, next is going to be payment of attorney fees for transmission lines. Clay, I'm gonna let you You want to address the council just on what's going on here? We've got the settlement in the Yeah. Yeah. There's two items in there. There's a settlement that uh settlement agreement that needs a vote of affirmation, just a yays and nays from from the council and then a reimbursement policy settlement.

So So the first one is a settlement with the city and the mayor. um were sued along as well with Tyson last year regarding a federal court case for Judge Brooks regarding a taks issue. Um there has been negotiations and ultimately a settlement agreement has been reached by all the parties. Um Tyson is basically going to pick up the tab on all of the damage that the city was included because it was a necessary party due to an ordinance that was developed in easement that was developed back when Valac came in. There was a bond issued and that line was initially run back I believe it was the 80s. And so anyways, this settlement agreement that you have um basically memorializes that um the plants are are offerings of Tyson essentially in the city a little bit of an extended easement outside of the original one. And um lots of attorneys have looked at this and gone over it and I've looked at it too. I believe that it is in the best interest of the city um that that would be approved. There is also an original lease that was about 48 pages long

in small text that was grainy because it was Xerox on a scanner from 1972. Um there was a indemnity clause but that Tyson is going to pay the attorney fees if there was everything that anything that was ever going to arise from that. Again, we utilize that clause, but you will see that Tyson is willing to limit their exposure. So, they've asked for a settlement on that. So, they're going to pay the attorney fees that the city has incurred. And um so, this should put this issue to bed and we can move on. Lisa, we could pay for the adjust general fund professional services to pay this initially and then with the reimbursement back from Tyson, this amount was

the 44,16785 adjust professional services account to include this and then we'll pay we'll pay that out and then Tyson will reimburse us. Yeah. So, so the city will pay it and then Tyson for the settlement agreement is going to pay us back. It's a little bit of a shell game, but that's where we end up.

So, just need a motion to make that adjustment and then we have to make another motion on the on the settlement. One would be to approve the settlement agreement between the plaintiffs Tyson and the city uh for David to essentially sign off as exeicio to approve it. So that needs a motion and affirmative vote and then there needs to be another motion and affirmative vote on the indemnity agreement between Tyson and the city. So those are two separate agreements. So if when y'all are ready um believe the mayor would entertain a motion on the first settlement agreement.

So move second. Miss Lisa. So is that two different agenda items or one agenda item or let me ask one question. Where where is this going to come out at professional fees?

Yeah we need to adjust general fund reserves into the professional fees and pay it from there. So that's just for the at the indemnity portion to pay back the attorneys, but there's nothing coming out of the city's budget for the first settlement. So that motion would be a settlement to authorize the mayor to enter into and execute the settlement agreement as proposed that we supported tonight. Um basically ratification of that agreement and we can do that just by motion and approval. Doesn't need a full resolution. I make a motion we approve the settlement agreement. Second.

You Somebody made a motion. Yeah. Yes. M second. I thought I thought it was you. Same thing.

Roll call. Could you call roll, please? Baker. Yes. Bradley, yes. King, yes. Risinger, yes. Crystal Thompson, yes. Now we need a motion to adjust general fund reserves into professional services by 44,16785

with the reimbursement back from Tyson when it comes in. I'll make that motion. Second, Miss Lisa Ringer. Yes. Crystal Thompson. Yes. Baker, yes. Bradley, yes. King, yes. I think it's okay. One, one more final issue. There would need to be a motion for the mayor to enter into and execute the indemnity agreement with Tyson. Uh basically saying this we're we're accepting this and this settles our our claim with Tyson regarding the inde. So move second. Second, Miss Lisa,

still right. Yeah, she's she's trying to catch up on where she was on. Crystal Thompson. Yes. Baker, yes. Bradley, yes. King, yes. Risinger, yes. Thank you, council. Thank you.

I still and that's you know this council met during all that and the city had no fault in this. None whatsoever. Zero. Um but when this is all settled and done at some point maybe maybe we'll have a good conversation publicly about it. So I appreciate the council getting this thing closed get some closure on it and I appreciate your vote of confidence way back when we first did this. That's a city line owned by the city leased to Tyson's basically bac when I was in the sixth grade St. Joseph Catholic school. So uh six I is going to be Wade 4500 in community projects for ACCO software. You want to come up to uh this would go to cover uh the remaining balance due uh for our shelter management software. uh that was specially created for shelters and not uh just kind of copy and paste from something else like code enforcement. Uh we originally had only 3,000 budgeted uh asking for an additional 4500 to come out of community projects. So the total between what you had budgeted and this 4500 is like 7500 be 7500. Yes.

And what a wagging tail bundle is talking about that was removed. This is this is what does this software do exactly? uh that would allow us to like go online and u manage all of our dogs that have come in. So like if we see new behavior exhibited, you know, that would go on their permanent file. Uh so it would be like if um so like if they were transferred to one of our partners um that would follow them. We would you know kind of send this file as a PDF and send it to them. So they would have Do your partners use this software?

They do not. This was specially created. They had to Red Point had to create this because there wasn't much available for shelters. Is this something that a number I mean I know this one is created specifically for us but are there systems like this that other shelters are using around

uh from what I understand they some of them use I work um which is more code enforcement based uh but they're you know more costly every year and you have to do uh like a certain number of years you know per contract. Will this have a renewal fee each year? Uh it'd be 2500 just a year after this initial year. So you'll budget that? Yes. We will budget that. So you just need 4500 more. Yes. In this line. Yes.

Motion we approve 4500 software. Is there a second? Second, Miss Lisa. Crystal Thompson. Yes. Baker, yes. Bradley, yes. King, yes. No.

Thank you, Councilman. Uh, S, the HPW final bill, HPB. I think this is the final from all their evaluations. This is the final architect bill based on the changes and everything. That was on the NPV, right? On the NPV, right? NPV. Yeah. It was completed late last year, but we and the invoice date said November 3rd, but I actually just got it in March. So, it was just after it wasn't budgeted, so we just need to adjust the budget to pay this last bill. Okay. From the general fund, MPB roofing track.

Is there a motion to approve that? Move. Second. Second. Baker. Yes. Bradley. Yes. King. Yes. Ringer. Yes. Crystal Thompson. Yes. Thank you. Council um 6K A3 acco project and aquatette. Let's have a conversation with the council. She's got the numbers. I don't have any I don't have any of the data.

This is our Apers the state retirement. If if even if you have part-time employees, if they work 20 or hours, if they work 80 hours and 90 days, they have to be added to our retirement program. And we have a few employees recently with that have worked over due to some staffing issues. So we owe they go back. So we owe on three employees 45 47 38 457 79 185875 who are the three in

I crossed out their names because I don't know if you are aquatic well the three are aquatic I don't have the ACL right now they they haven't gi that one we'll have just come back later. I don't need their name. I I just I just need to know where it's coming from. Three lifeguards from aquatic and then we will have one come back later for our So that's one one area we just don't know for sure in the part-time people. Right. And we're going to do a better job. Right. Right. And we only we have less than 10 part-time people, but it's it's actually going to just take us to sit down and

and try for them not to work that much. And if they do, once they're signed up, it doesn't matter if that time they work 80 hours that month or 15. They have they they contribute their part and we contribute their part. Um but on these back ones, we're just going to pay it. I think what happened we were thinking 20 if they hit 20 hours it was fine if you went over it, but it's not. You cannot get 20 hours 20. We'll just we'll just say you take that out aquatics, right? Yes. Aquatics. And it's uh what eight 9,000 a little over 10,000 almost 11 12

and yeah the rule the rule what this is the rule is no more than 80 hours in a 90day period. Yeah. And a manager out there managing well what's that person do 20 hours a week? you know, that's that's going to get them to their their u their threshold. Well, APR looks at it. Well, no, when you hit 80 at 30 days or 90 days, then you you violate it. So, they have to work 19 and a half hours a week and 79 or was it 29 and a half days. That's all they get. So,

but the thing is if you're at work at six o'clock and you've already got 79 hours, I mean, it's it's incredibly incredibly difficult to keep an eye on it. So, that's pretty hard to understand. I think they only do 19 and a half a week. Yeah. And then right in the middle of the shift, you got to send them home or something. Did you come up with a figure? 10,91392. I make a motion we approve $10,913 from the aquatic center. Second, Miss Lisa Bradley. Yes. King, yes. Ringer, yes. Mr. Thompson,

yes. Baker, yes. Thank you, Council Cu. How are you? Good. Dana Fzelle, CCU. Um, I wanted to introduce you to Eric Henriks. Hinrix. Hinrix. Hinrix. Sorry. He's the new general manager. Uh, today was his first day, so go Hinrix.

Yeah, it's okay. They've misspelled my email, too. So, it's been all day fixing. Um, I'm a engineer. I used to work for North Little Rock Electric. Was there for 15 years. Um I was last role there was their director of engineering. Um a lot of the experience I'm bringing here is you know long-term planning to disaster management. Um we've been through tornadoes, ice storms. I help with specs metering. I mean if it was a electric utility I was part of it at some point and my 15 years there. Um I'm excited to be here. for me and my wife. We've got a 15-month-old uh boy and a little girl on the way. And uh

it's been uh nothing but uh comfort, I think it's the best word I could say. Moving here, getting to know my neighbors, co-workers have all been very supportive, all very knowledgeable, and um I've got quite uh the support staff behind me to do a good job here. Um, I hope to be, you know, a year from now a lot more comfortable firstname basis with everybody in here. So, uh, appreciate this opportunity and hope to, uh, better the community along with the rest of you. So, welcome. Thank you. Were you Were you at North Rock when Car was there?

Yeah. I'm sorry. Well, for what it's worth, he was no doubt on you, right? Oh, no. Okay. that. Don't hold it against me. Um, you have our reports. Did y'all have any questions? No, I'm not coming back to work. Thank you. Yeah, good to meet you all, too.

Sorry. the uh just a couple things. You've got the report, but uh the applications for the revitalization grants are open and if you guys would help us. We're making some personal contacts with people, but if y'all could talk that up a little bit. We've had a couple of applications and we got some interest. So, we need to get that going. The other thing we're doing is we're going to host a historic tax credit seminar. Gentleman from Little Rock, Rivas Edmonds, is going to come up on the 23rd at five o'clock if anybody in town has an interest on some of that. So y'all have the rest where at the chamber. It's going to be at the chamber 5:00. Any questions? Thank you. Thank you.

23rd at the chamber.

I have the March numbers for the uh police department activity. We've had 578 offense violations for the month of March, 103 ticketed violations for the month of March, 470 warning citations, 117 incident reports, 58 arrests, 20 accident reports were completed, nine CD cases were assigned, and five CD cases were closed.

Do you have any questions? Cody,

I got my report. I just want to point a couple things out. You notice Brahms is really rocking and rolling. Um couple months away. Can't wait. Uh second thing, uh on Roger Street, we're fixing to get a putt putt golf. Um 18 holes. Really nice facility. Uh Mr. Hobs back here, so it'll have a pretty nice party room. Um, architects just finishing up a few little details on that. Um, other than that, on my report I gave y'all, I just want y'all to know that is the largest permit I think the city of Clarkville has ever seen. So, yeah. Uh, I want to highlight that definitely. So, any anything else? Greg, did you authorize him to release that information?

He asked me. So, I walk back there first. Steve, I saw Steve Fisher come in. Where'd he go? I snuck in late. I don't know if you all I brought my report in late. I don't know if you all got a copy of it. Oh, you're getting it now.

Um, ordinarily I just have you read my report, but I think I really need to bring you all up to date on some things. First of all, um you know, we were working on an alternative, cheaper, simpler route to get to that weather reporting facility. And um we we don't know exactly whether FAA is going to require that we uh oh have we the mayor and I discussed this. They they may end up requiring that we work things out with the armory because we have a lease right now with the armory. We may have to have an easement to go through that. They may require that. We don't know what we what I told Garver to do is just go ahead and see whether they'll go ahead and accept it. Don't say anything about it. And if they just say uh if they don't question that then we won't need an attorney for to draw us up something draw us that

that's all city property and even though that armory section is only we're on the top of 50 people. So, because it is leased to the armory, we'd have to potentially amend the lease with the armory or just can we get them to approve off on an easement across it? It's outside the fence. It's outside the fence. Yes. The only thing that I'm kind of hung up on is it's all controlled by FAA stuff. So, there may be something.

Well, we're gonna we're gonna run it through and if they don't question it, then then we're okay. And he and actually, I talked to Kathy on a meeting. she came by. She's a head ASO. She's in charge of the for projects for this whole area and she she seemed to think in retrospect that it's not going to be a problem. What where it came a problem because they thought it was a Forest Service property and we got that corrected. But go ahead. I'm sorry. You were getting ready to say something. Are they improving it any or they just using? They're going to put uh you know row base on there to go on the other side of the parade grounds. Let's talk about it after.

Okay. Yeah, I've got a few things I need to talk to you about. I was hoping I'd catch you at the beginning, but I got here too late. So, okay. So, the taxiway extension. uh don't need to talk about this very much, but we ran into a little bit of a snag because of uh an electric line and as of last Friday that got taken care of. We're hoping that it doesn't create uh a situation where Redstone, who is the is the um contractor,

you know, they may be able to say it's going to cost us something because we stopped. I mean, if we stop for a reasonable amount of time, that's one thing, but we stopped them for quite a while and then may require us to there may be some reparations involved there because they took their crews away and they got to bring them back again. So, we we don't know yet. We're hoping we can just flip that by. I've been dealing with this deal about this guy named Higgby um who has wanted an easement to get to his property for over well over a year now. And um the last time the mayor and I talked about it, he came up with a really good idea. And that is

not I haven't talked to him yet about it. Okay. But but it's an idea. It's not we we haven't uh we haven't we haven't drawn anything up, but there's a little tiny finger of land. And boy, it'd be nice if we didn't have to. We don't have to do anything, but it'd be nice if we didn't uh uh end up having an easement across airport property. I I you know, none of us like that. There's two penetrations in a secure area. I looked at it last year. Yeah. So, I have an idea and I ran it past him. If they weren't, we all

the tr trouble is is that it's probably not city property over there on the other side of that. Okay. Okay, it's Lamar or county or something. So, anyhow, okay, we'll we'll talk about that later. Council, but we just got to put together good legal data and let's see what they want to do.

So, I keep throwing one thing after another at you, Clayton, but uh we're going to have to come up with a a le a long-term 30-year lease with this uh in the soccer fields. Uh it's just there's a reason why we need to do that. But we'll we can do that simply in exchange for us building uh the extra the runway extension. Who's who's going to operate on who's going to be the stuff?

Oh, it's just inner city. It's just it's just something so if their land people come in, we can we can say we had an official contract, official lease to do that. Okay. And uh another thing I'm throwing at you is that we have been trying to have we have not had uh a private hanger land lease uh in place. We just been doing kind of an honor system thing. You know, you guys send everybody uh that is leasing land but not actually according any contract. Did

I not draft a form? Well, we did but we got it back. We we actually didn't have you draft it. I sent a boiler plate to you and I and I think that Wette has given that to you. I drafted one. You drafted one and then I sent it back to you. David had some questions on it. Oh, okay. So, we we we probably need to get that done.

And the last thing I want to talk to you about is that and it's something that the mayor and I talked about. Again, we're not making any assumptions and no decisions were made or anything else, but we at some point need a new terminal building. And I think I'm just introducing this tonight and I'd like to come back at some point and um you know make a better presentation because you know our terminal building is like 75 years old. It you know it's a it's not ADA um qualified. It's not it's not energy efficient. We don't have a pilot area for pilots to to rest. You know that's just status quo. That's that's the standard of practice for a comm community our size. There's no meeting rooms. U and again that's that's a um pretty much a standard thing for a community our size. Our parking lots in horrible horrible shape. And um so about three years ago, the airport commission was authorized to go ahead and spend $37,000 on uh design contract or design plans with HCW over in Russellville. And we we've got a plan and we base that plan on. I went around to a whole bunch of airports that are airports that are comparable to our community and saw what what is the standard and we're kind of the standard of Paris, Ozark, Danville, and Paragold. I mean, that's that's what our our uh terminal building is kind of compared to. And we're we're not those communities. We're a lot more sophisticated than those communities. We weren't maybe in the beginning 75 years ago, but we sure as heck are now. We're we're up there with Ardadelphia, Jonesboro, Pocahontas, and they have

some nice facilities. So, anyhow, um I think that I need to uh you know maybe at some point uh figure out a time either during this meeting or having some sort of committee meeting or something. I don't know where I can where I can make a presentation to you guys and and we can make some long-term plans. We're trying we we tried to get money from FAA. Uh it's probably not going to be available. We had a few months ago there was something that came across my desk and and we applied for it and we're not going to get that. And um so anyhow, I think that uh it's almost better to stay away from uh the engineering Garver and it's almost good to stay away from the FAA and just handle this project on our own. It'll be a lot cheaper, especially the parking lot. The the parking lot is like this much expense if we include those people and it's this much expense. Stanley will tell you if if if we handle it ourselves. So, at some point, I'd like to come back and and do some sort of presentation to help you appreciate where we're at. And that's this is kind of uh based on the Pocahontas FBO. We liked it. We we looked at a whole bunch of them and and we have 90% construction ready plans and and um I think it's appropriate for our community. And I can show you you know the you know what looks like on the inside of that and it has has a kitchen, it has a place for the um the airport manager to be. It has meeting rooms. It has pilot area and and it's, you know,

energy efficient. It's ADA compliant. You know, it's it's it's what our community is going to ultimately need. And I know that the data pro data center is not going to be the answer to everything that we have, but I think it's a good time to bring this up because I think we're going to have maybe some funds and and it's also, you know, it the data center kind of raises up a notch on what our is designed to be able to be providing, you know, business-wise in this area. So hopefully, you know, we'll be able to do something about this in the future. Do you all have any thoughts or questions about this that I need to be looking at before I hopefully do a presentation to y'all in the future?

What size of fuel truck does a municipal airport your size typically operate off of? We we found out recently that uh I'm asking a question. How many how many gallons? 5 10 20,000 gallon truck. Uh probably 10,000 gallons. So last week I sent a request over to your to your commission. have heard nothing back. Right. So, those typically $150 $200,000 or something like that. Yeah. Had someone willing to pay for it and I've heard nothing back from the commission. I'd like to get a response from that. Okay. So, I can actually let them know um that

there was some discussion about it and part of the discussion, you know, we try to look at things objectively and it's even if you get a truck for free, there's still kind of upkeep keep and trouble associated with it. You know what they say about a gift horse, right? I know. I understand. Don't look in the mouth. Let's take the gift horse and move on. I understand. Then we'll worry about this one. Okay. Okay. That that was something we were going to talk to you about this month. That's Yeah, I did that. Yeah. It made me look bad. I was supposed to feed them. We weren't ignoring it. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you,

Taylor. You guys have my reports. You have any questions? I'll be happy to try to answer them. If not, what's going on with Pond Park?

Oh, we're building a bridge pond. We're we're actually we're widening the pond out. We're going to stock it with fish for the kids to continuously fish. You know, I want to The idea is if we do that to stock it is to put catch and release and let the kids always fish. When we drained that one pond, we probably didn't catch 15, 20 fish out of there. It's been fished out. And the whole point of that is for the kids to be able to enjoy and learn to fish and have outdoor opportunities. So, in the meantime, it'll have a fountain and it'll have that uh bridge going across it. I found some lumber pretty reasonable. I think we can look at make it look good like a a covered bridge that would you would see in a area that would look a little better to me than the the conic sitting there.

The idea is to have like a little sleepy hollow bridge there. that's that's kind of waterproof and protection. But we were taking in those swamp area that was full of mosquitoes and snakes and turn it into something good so that the peach festival fishing derby that fifth grade team or schools can come and fish there and maybe in the in the winter time stock it with trout for a month or so and kind of turn that that swamp into something useful. We did utilize the dirt that we dug out and filled up the lowlying areas there that they got stuck in all the time. I don't know what he's talking about. A swamp. That used to be a pond. Yeah, we found a lot of old lumber and everything that was buried under there to fill. We found bicycles in the bottom that the pond

that that's the new pond. We found several bicycles in the pond existing pond. That was one of the best hockey rinks in the whole town. So, back when it got cold, right? Yeah. Yeah. Back in 80. But we we will make it look good. I know it's a little bit of an isol right now, but I promise you when we're done, we will make it look good. And we're getting a new roof on the aquatic center, right?

That the the materials are supposed to be here this week when I talked to her last week and hopefully they will start as soon as they get here. We want it done before the outdoor aquatic center opens. That way we don't have construction mingled with the outdoor center. She promised us she would. I'm trying to hold her to that, but and hopefully when that's done, that's that insurance claim and we'll have that done and still have a hundred,000 left over what we saved on the MPB roof when we redone it. So,

hey, listen, u I really appreciate um what you got, what your crew is doing on spring clean up. I went by a house this morning. I I don't know how many couches can be in one house. I never heard nothing. I never saw my line. There had to be two dump trucks loaded couches come by one house. Our first our first stop this morning was two big dump trucks.

So there must be there must be a lot coming in from outside the city. I guess that's fine. We're still honored to do it for those that that actually need it. But in the future, I'll tell you, I would think about looking at a joint thing with the county to where cleanup is where it's at a location and they bring this stuff to us. Um, if that's the way it's going to continue because it would it would save us a lot of money honestly in the fuel and all of that. That was that was that was amazing to see that pile. I think there's how many how do you get that many couches in one house? Crazy. Well, I think a lot of the problem is people do go through the stuff and that's even though if they're bagged up nice and it's scattered everywhere and we can't sit there and clean up people's yards all day trying to rake everything back up. So,

well, we do appreciate it because y'all get there at 5 in the morning, work till late. They just for note if they've already went down your road they are not coming back. We do not come back out public at large but this is played in Facebook or wherever else if you see them go down your road they're not coming back. No tire you're going to get tickets. You're going to get tickets. No tires. Long metal rocks brick anything concrete dump will not take it because it goes in the trailers and it tears up the trailer. That's right. We're we're bound by the landill rules. Landill rules. It's not like we're trying to be controlling. We have rules. So, thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate let you know that. Um,

we don't have a report. Uh, Miss Ma,

the only thing I have is there's a copy of our year in financial report that was published in the paper at the end of March. It has to be in the paper every year by April 1. Well, before you before we take the motion journ, let me just take an opportunity to let the council know that in the next 90 days or so, you're going to be faced with some challenging decisions to make, but they're going to be the decisions that change our lives for the better and the lives of our people for the better. It's very important what's about to what's about to be brought forth to you. We'll do our best to get you every bit of information as we can as quick as we can. But when I tell you and I'm telling the public for the better for for those that need opportunity, the day is here. As of Friday, as of last Friday, the bell toll and things are about to start shaping in a good way. And we have gone through four years of due diligence on this business. They've been put through more scrutiny than any business in Clark's history. And so we're going to be fine and our lives are going to be a lot better. So

we have a motion to adjurnn. So move. So move.

We are. Oh, don't hold no before you back up. Back up before you turn it. Let me tell you in your packet, there is a cost benefit analysis on Grizzly ammunition. Short term that is the $2 million investment that you got set aside with your money. That that equates to $23 million year one in construction revenues, $24 million year two construction revenues and long-term 14 to$16 million year um uh revenue to the city county over that span of that of that for that grizzly anal. So they we've done their cost benefit analysis. We've got that done. You guys have funded that. We've got the uh the location and all that set up. We've got um their AEDC is doing their intake form and doing their due diligence forms right now. So I expect in in June we'll bring that full complete packet to you. You're talking a $90 million investment, 90 new jobs. And after five years of hard work, we got it pulled off right in the middle of all this data center. So it's pretty stressful in city hall right now. So motion to

adjourn. So move. Thank you.
