It's going to get stripped out and equipment installed. Uh Dr. STE and Officer Rice once again be coaching the track or the farm to track shooting team at the school. And Officer Rice is now state certified trainer for the department. There's three of us currently that can train our own officers so we don't have to go anywhere for some of the trainings.

Opposed? That carries. All right. Uh we do not have any old business. Um I have a little bit of new business. First item is I have um discussion possible action. A CEDC recommendation. This is a bounceback. Needs to be reapproved because it crossed a fiscal year. This is smashing assets. They have a um residence on by you, Alex. Um East Vernon. It's it's Ashlin Capus. Um, they had a tree removed and a fence repair that finally got completed due to some contractors. I'd like to make a mo motion that we approve the CDC recommendation.

I second that. Thank you, Joey. Second by Alex. That's a roll call, please. Gillis, yes. Bogs, yes. Fleming, yes. Rose, yes.

All right. Next item I have, um, I actually have two items here that are both for the community center. But first one, um, in conjunction with putting air conditioning in, we got to get some more power. So, um, Roy Keith Electric gave us a bid of $4,410 to, um, get us more power to run the air conditioners on top of the building. And this tube would come from TIFF. Is that going to also separate the electricity from this building? Okay. All building is run off of this building. All electricity is run off of this building.

Yeah. The solar goes to these panels then feed that. And this how how is that going to work when we demo the middle here? We already went around. We went around it. We already went underground. You'll see the the front yard there. It's all done. Perfect. That's what I wanted to make sure it wasn't we need to go and put a new leather head or something up. No, no, they they went underground. Okay. Um I make a motion that we approve $4,410. Second. Thank you, Alex. A second by Nate. That's a roll call, please. Gillis, yes. Bogs, yes. Fleming, yes. Rose,

yes. And Dave, do you want to talk about this next one? The next it's a discussion possible action fans for the community center.

So we have three fans more towards the would be the east side. They're going to add three more fans to the west side. Um the temperature at the elevation because the heat rises is actually almost 90 degrees. And we had a heck of a time keeping that thing warm because everything was up up. So they made a decision the best thing we should do is add three more. So we'll have six fans pushing that back down. It will help us tremendously on the actual heating and cooling for future. What does our what's our HVAC contractor think? Do they agree with this? They agree wholeheartedly. The less the more the more heat that we can push down,

the better we're doing. They're also putting um boosters in the vents. Um and they're segmenting the gym into three different zones. Three zones with three thermostats. The original thermostat was put in the foyer. I don't know if you knew that or not. It's a good place for it. Great place for it. She closed the doors and it had no idea what the temperature over here was. Don't know how that happened. Yeah, but this is a 4,295 and it's tiff eligible expense as well tying this all the HBAC together.

Okay. Yeah, I I think we make make a motion to approve the 4,295 to get those fans put in. I have a motion from Alex, second from Joey. That's a roll call. Gillis, yes. Bogs, yes. Fleming, yes. Rose. Yes. All right. That is all the new business I have this evening. Belrums of January behind us. Um leads me to committee reports. Jenny's not here tonight. Leslie is not here tonight.
