Board of Commissioners - Regular Meeting

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Good afternoon, and welcome to the City of Frankfort community nursing home. This is the City of Frankfort Board of Commissioners, and I am your host for August 16th, August 24th, this time of the year, and I am here to present to you all, on Saturday, August 1st, and on Saturday, August 1st, we're going to be presenting to you Jesus is the leader of life, and the enemy is the sex of the baby, and the freedom of other people, which is serious.

What a nation under God, being invisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. On behalf of the city of Versailles, I'd like to express my gratitude to your departments for your courageous response to the recent fire at the 1-0-6 football in the downtown Versailles. Your team's professionalism, teamwork, and dedication in such a dangerous situation helped many more. Because of the quick action of all of those five departments, our career didn't get as many laws as it was contained, and lives and properties were redemptive. I'm grateful for your care. You show not only the heart and the love, but also our intent in the neighboring departments. This counts for you to know that our community is surrounded by CLU Southwest individuals who are committed to protecting others, offering a great personal risk, and a budget made wholeheartedly. I just extend my heartfelt thanks to every member of your team, like all that you do. You have made this respect and appreciation. Sincerely, R.A. Mayor, City of Deer Springs. Thank you, too. Next up, citizens' comments. We have a couple on the lines. If you need to talk to the audience that you need a reminder, if you give five minutes, they will do you a favor. We'll move forward with the conference call. First, Patricia Walters. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry. I will say, first of all, I'd like to apologize if you do not hear anything. I'm sorry. My name is Patricia Waldron. I'm a resident here in the city of Frankfort. I was the commissioner for six years. I approached him for four, and I just wanted to comment. There's been comments made in regards to flat cameras, and that the last commission approved, and we had one no vote, which was Commissioner Beyer on that board. So with my integrity and when I serve the community, I try to serve with the best of my ability. That did come across my table as a commissioner at the time, and I did vote yes. I voted yes. I felt like the block chambers would do justice for our community in surrounding communities, as well as the state of Kentucky. When we voted, I want to clear up, it was not out of the general fund. It was actually out of asset forfeitures and grant money. So there was not any money in regards to these viewers that should have been staked out, if I'm not mistaken, out of regular funds or general funds. However, in this, I will say that since they've been out, we have solved a huge problem on the side in Frankfort. They were now asked justice for the young woman that was hit by a vehicle and died in a vehicle drive because of that. We also rescued someone that was kidnapped out of Patsy County and rescued them here in Franklin County due to these cameras. And we were able to get the young lady back to her and also arrest, make an arrest and send that person back to Madison. So I think there is a lot of good in these. However, I understand community concerns, and I just wanted to share that maybe we could look at maybe putting cameras on the ins and outs of this community, on the aspects of our community coming in from major places where people are coming in. Maybe we're into politicians in Kaiser versus more of our residential areas. Maybe that's something we can think about, taking them away from the residential areas and putting them on the outskirts of our community. So when people are coming in from other communities, we can help in pursuits, people getting away from, you know, whatever their in other counties, it may be able to be helpful. I also want to make clear that any money that has been spent or set aside for these particular flood cameras would have been a budget proposal, correct? And by my knowledge, when I watched your budget proposal for this upcoming year of 26-27, there was a 5-count for the adoption of that budget. When you look into the budget, you might search some that you have, and maybe you'll dig into it really, really deeply. We sit around, and in this commission, some people say that they didn't vote for it. They went there. Well, technically, every person that sits before me has actually voted for it. Because if you would actually look at your budget, you would understand that under the police area, it says computer and IT services underneath of the police department. And if you look at the other line, it clearly says, well, your system's at $57,000. So each and every one of you has a master budget that supports pain, not with master mortgages and not with great money like I did as a to ensure BNC use of taxpayers' money, each and every one of you, voting for a budget that allows them to allow these floodgaters to come out of general budget, me, taxpayers, and others. So I just want to clarify that it is my integrity to allow you to do that. I want to stand before you to know that I care about taxpayers' dollars. I care about what it goes for. And it was also in our commission that we set the policy. And if you read the policy, it is only supervisors that are allowed to go into the flyer system. To the supervisors in our community, I do trust them. And that is why that policy was very strenuous. We spent a lot of time on that policy to keep them safe. I understand there's concerns in our community. They do need to be on hold and listened to, definitely. But our many women have done well. And I made sure that was part of the policy that protected our community, as well as our many women that are wearing the uniform in our community. I want anyone's child, mother, father, anyone to be protected. And I will yell out in any way. If I can give up a little bit of my privacy, I will get it back.

Thank you.

Yes, ma'am. So, I also want to say that any personal information and understanding black cameras are deleted within 30 days. That's part of the policy. Go and read the policy. Also, know that black camera does not do any personal investigation on any personal person going by one of those cameras. What it does is take a picture of your license plate. It does not come valuable until it is connected to an activity that is in the vicinity. That is the incentive of these departments. It is being put in the NCIS system. for the police department, where they can, our police officers, know who, what, where, and when, because it's already part of an active investigation. So please do take this into consideration. I wanted to make sure I stood by a vote and where I stood with that in the tax payer's dollars. So please look into that, and maybe the option of taking these cameras out of residential areas and putting them in our borderline was where we're putting up against another county. Maybe that's a possibility to come into this. Thank you. Hello, I'm here as a representative of South Frankfort Neighborhood Association as well as Walk Back Frankfort. The first concern I have and we have as a community is the safety, street safety, pedestrians, vehicles, drivers. On second note, Logan and Todd, we've been asking for help to, to improve the situation right in front of Andy's in that corner of the Andy's Bakery. Last week there was an accident and somebody was sent to the hospital pretty well injured. And so we're just asking If there's a problem, I'd send you a letter and thank you for your response. And I'm hoping that we can get something solved because it is a really dangerous area, especially when you're going around that curve. I don't know, Lawrenceburg Road. So I'd like you to check into that. And then also we have a lot of people in the neighborhood who are concerned with short-term rentals and the concentration of those rentals. And there's a 5% cap on short-term rentals, but it seems like there's – some of the houses that are converted into businesses are being counted in that percentage and we're hoping that you can change that ordinance so that it's not including those houses that have been converted into businesses because Anyway, it doesn't need to be counted, and it's unfair to the outcome in the percentages. I handed a letter to Lisa, if you want to look at it. I've got more copies here. And we're also concerned about some of the dead zones in the South Frankfort neighborhood where there are businesses, Airbnbs, and they're taking up the residential areas. It's decreasing the number of houses that can be sold to families, and that is a concern. It's taking away from the sense of the neighborhood. And then another follow-up on short-term rentals, we're concerned about especially absentee landlords that are coming in and buying a property, but they don't maintain the property. And sometimes they will buy, and this is Logan. Logan is a good example. They buy some of these properties with the intent to do a short-term rental on Airbnb. But they don't do anything with it, or it takes them way too long. So we are concerned about that. And then surprising, a private member of the community, Betty Bar, wrote to me. about a situation right behind her. I don't know if you know Betty Bar, but she's one of the long-term residents of South Frankfort. She's close to 90. She grew up in the house that she's living in now, and she really cares about Frankfort, cares about the neighborhood. I'm not going to read all of this, but I'm going to let you have a copy of it so there's some concern for her neighborhood situation with the neighbor. Appreciate you reading it, and I will read it. Thank you. I believe there's been some communication about it. I mean, we're going to have to reflect about this.

Thank you.

Thank you. Well, we'll get both of you to say some comments, and we'll move on to Jessica.

I think that's a good question.

I'm going to make a motion to Uh, move number 11, uh, I'm gonna save some time. First we'll see when you require a 30% design agreement to mention the items. And then, save number 7.

It's all clear if you want to, uh, move that to a future meeting.

That's so incredible. That means, like, we're going to set up a number, so I don't know if that's, like, how we'll do that. I don't think we can do that. I don't think we can do that. Opposed? Opposed? Aye. Aye. Opposed?

Aye.

Opposed? Aye. Item number two, purchase of fire station one, furniture, fire department.

Now, this wasn't much in any sense. Item number four, utility trip replacement for the fire department. This item requires the Board of Commission approval to purchase a new utility trip to replace the fire department's 2002 Ford F-250E for the mayor's Senate apartment documents. Total cost of this purchase is $74,214.79. This item was budgeted in favor. Item number five. aerial man lift purchase. I know Public Works staff are convinced that the Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of the aerial man lift from Equipment Depot and the Mayor decided on all the documents. Total cost, $82,220.50. This could be a 26-27. We budgeted $76,000 for this purchase. I did state to your surcharge that a budget amendment may be needed for $6,220.50 in every additional expense.

Question two. Is there a perfect set time for all the things that you need?

Last one.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. so excited to serve. Brings a lot of knowledge. She was, I think, last year at one point set up here. I just want to thank her publicly. Just being one of them, an example, a great example of one of our community members just helping to serve and give back is obviously, it takes an evolution and she's part of this. I'd like to just follow up, and I think you took care of Ms. Hale, but I'll thank you, and thank Jeremy Richardson as well, for a little mercy, and for helping us out. Thank you. Thank you, Jeremy, for sharing with me, and thank you, Ellen, for your abilities to continue to serve, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Well, that's fun for everyone. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. in acting in this section of City of Frankfort Code of Ordinances, Chapter 70, relating to protection, access, and occupancy on arterial roadways in the State 18 right-of-way in front of the KRS-189.517. The ordinance established an act in the exception of city right for good ordinances, Chapter 7A, regarding pedestrian access and occupancy on arterial roadways. Section 8A writes a way to establish definitions set forth by the new conduct. Establish means for exceptions in a process for discretionary exceptions. List the arterial roadways subject to ordinances and establish them on for violations of coordinates including a civil fine, but not less than $20 or more than $100, via enforcement discretion. I have a question. I have a question.

I have a question.

I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. So ATVs, they find the ones they're not able to, like, anastomize. What does that look like? Pepper. That's good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That's right. This is actually part of the law. So I just want to make sure that all of this is true.

Yes, that is correct.

This is true. I am very aware of what the Supreme Court has ruled on me. So this is an ordinance that mirrors the state law, if I'm correct. Yes, it is. It's very close to the state statute. It allows for us to put a little bit of what we needed to change our roads, but it is about occupancy of the median. It's not a median. So one of the things that's important is about keeping people safe. I mean, it is not unsafe to stand. For example, I see the person all the time between Chick-fil-A and Wendy's. We're in a machine, and it's barely as wide as one of those chairs back there. And he or she has a dog with them, which makes a lot of people nervous. Driving makes me nervous. I mean, it's not that the dog is going to behave, but... to cause a collision. I mean, we're very well on the eagles and dog cars and the rabbits and the voids and so on. I'm going to make this clear because there's been a lot of unusual calls about this. We're not outlawing solar canyons. In fact, I'm going to that utilize their cares where there is fewer homes. If you would like to know, that is a huge push to different people, larger communities, maybe larger homes. If I'm not a city chief, there's less of a community. That's right. And it is a fair assessment that it is, you know, they take care of that. I'm not speaking for cares. I don't want to speak on their behalf. But that is one way the communities are doing it. So I cannot think this is key to me. say this ordinance is designed for this. So I'm just going to point that out. That's all I mean. I don't think there's been this labor. I don't know. I always do point out a little bit in front of them. It's kind of like the seat. I don't remember what we were doing. In fact, we had a great experience. We tend to keep our mind at people. Hey, there's an ordinance. So I would hope that we do that within reason. So we came in with, like, Mr. Smith-Willison, right off the bat, and he didn't sign for this two or three times. I'm sorry, I got a little out of hand there. We have a lot of good questions out there. I think we can get a couple of good ones in here. We'll discuss your questions for Keith. We'll have a nice couple of them sometimes. Question number two. At the Hyde-Holm Street Corridor, phase one of the rightful acquisition of the parcel 87 to the 61 Holm Street in resolution. The third actuate procedure is afraid it's determined that the purchase of investment to the city owns the parcel 87, which is to the 61 Holm Street, and the owner, in the end, if they would like to donate the parcel to the municipality of the city. So, I have a recommendation for approval of the right of the mayor to set up an order for the commission. Motion to approve. Second. Motion to approve. Second. There seems to be a follow-up on this. I'm trying to think of the first section. We're very excited about this.

We're going to do it.

We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it.

We're going to do it.

We're going to do it. But for the other three, we're not going to do it. That's more comfortable. Is there a difference in the average?

Is there a difference? Yes. Is there a difference? Yes.

Is there a difference?

Yes. Is there a difference? Yes.

Is there a difference? Yes. Is there a difference? Yes. Is there a difference? Yes. Is there a difference?

Yes. Is

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I turn it over to the Board of Trustees to see if there's any stance on the forwarding of the training of the society for the next 30 to 30 minutes. I will provide what you hear most of the members will see in order for us to apply for O.R. and L.P. grant funds in October of 2026. The total cost for society is $75,193, and the standard size is about $15,000. I'll ask Barry Kinshaw to come forward. Do you have some thoughts on that with this year?

Sure.

So we have worked to try to move quickly to the implementation of several different components of our broader free plan, which we've been trying to identify. And I don't know if you can see it on the screen. who's deadlines are so little that it's like, well, I have to leave on Tuesday. Knowing that the OMA AD events that are processing TV's are open, consent box checked, and the pay-for-reports that you usually have folks regularly pick up on the events that you're watching on screen and ultimately, of course, to see if it's even an appropriate project for us to also prioritize this linear part component project as part of our initial projects on the airfoil. So we will use the scope from Sasaki, which is an effort to get living quickly, to get basically 30% said, but as you said, we know what it is we're asking for, how much, and tell them to make that application in October. I think there'll be a meaningful connection, you know, with that's one they didn't plan on connecting downtown to New York City or vice versa. I think particularly once the events are there, the hotels being reinvested in Washington, the corridor goes all the way through the bottom to Broadway. You're going to see folks walking up that way. And I think it's going to be a slow day to remind you that there's a car coming here. And also, it will be likely. often use space or some things that allow us to do some things or make things happen and concentrate on that kind of thing. I have an A3 question as well. I don't know if I said it, but the logic was that we can kind of work with them to analyze things that you work on, but they're part of the development of that part, so it's more for you to do some sort of work as well. I'm not sure I hear you. I appreciate you bringing this image and discussing it with us. That's part of why I wanted to do the texture item so that we all think about it. And one of the things that I really like about this is the potential for Some people have heard the term road diet, so maybe taking that part of Broadway and giving us a little bit more usable space on the non-railroad sides where the sidewalk normally would have been, which is not there right now. So it might give us, like you said, a little bit more space there. And it does feel like with everything moving the way it is, like you said, with is awaiting the K-3 board decision. If it all just sort of happened at once, then it could be a really great kickoff to this project. I think one thing that I was sort of wondering about that may not necessarily be included with this would be the riverfront stabilization money. And at what point we would work through that process and that money that may have been afforded. Yes, we've been awarded, we haven't received it yet. We're kind of waiting. I would expect, and hopefully that's the 2027 project that we build, of course, we swear, hopefully actually get those funds awarded in the weekend. We can consult until it's done. So that's one of the three kind of immediate niche projects that we're trying to prioritize. We know we've been awarded the right, but we just haven't gotten it yet. So we're trying to sit on our hands. I'm excited about this. The one thing I'm hearing the most is, look, let's just be honest. You know, you said when this was presented, we didn't say we'll talk. So he's not going to do it. So he said one more step forward to deciding. We already discussed this being the case. So it's one more thing. we can move forward. It's something the budget can handle, right? It's on the CV. This is within our budget. It's trying to make this into a solution. So I trust you're here every day. I mean, not that I don't know about this project, but I'm So that brings up, I mean, it's our job to scrutinize it to some extent, but I don't think it's a way to be able to show who you hold responsible, especially the fact that it's inefficient. We're in a restaurant. We're in a restaurant. We're in a restaurant. I'd like to make a note of Commissioner Richards' comments there towards Senate. And Senate, thank you for your power to us in this. We're sorry. This will be a society we're ready to go in. It is an exciting thing and an eventful thing. We hear a lot of the hard side about those plagues. So let me clean up the old plagues and set up a show for you. Right. We were bad at it when we started this process. This is a man's society's plan. We're getting us the direction we need. Thank you all. Thank you very much. Thank you all for coming. But, one quick question. Looking forward to getting that new gear project in or across the river from it. I'm looking here at about a year and a half. That's 1.2 official kick-off and concept design workshop. Will there be an opportunity? With this one judge, four Canadian members, we didn't necessarily participate, but you listened. Other than in our gallery and meetings, a lot of workshops have been held for both since then. I don't think we got that far, but to know whether we would have done something like that, certainly possible. We can always have, you know, an open house or workshop as we go forward. We'll see if we're able to get funding. We're thankful for what you're doing.

It was one of my questions. I was going to think about what your contractors are doing.

Just from this point of view, you know where it says, we're starting to produce 30% of the plans. Is there a good timeline for people to watch that? I see from our point of view, what does this look like? Can you give us some planning stages?

And for one commission, I said, will there be transparency along the way to have a 30% or to have a 90% completion?

And so this will allow us to be able to move from budget into general scope. And then once we get the funding, that'll finish the gains rather than us paying for construction on over the 50-50 bench. You know, the good thing about doing this quite ahead of time is that we've already had quite a bit of that documented, and the transparency will continue to update the project page and, frankly speaking, k1.com with any implementation updates we have as we go. And certainly, as we get plans or concepts available, certainly we're going to be able to share the project when we have them. My advice is that if you want, if you're going for it, even if there's a problem, share the chat. It's okay.

We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it.

We're going to do it. We had a question on the center, considering the size of the RMP, right? And I guess, I was just wondering if I could take my black ears to make sure the cameras were okay.

I'm out.

And how far east? I'm out. And how far west? I'm out. And how far west is this coming from? Towards the river? Oh, I hit a river. I was... I was thinking the linear part will go along that portion of the partial set. We may have some kind of a new approach we'll all see there. But the rationale of the whole partiality and that sort of component project is probably its own thing. I would think that we would have that block from Washington down to Wilkinson probably some kind of cost of maintenance. That will continue to make that connection. So, it's not an isolated park. It's going to be located in front of the old Farmer's Park inside of the parcel lane. Does this build up over what we're at now? Is it not? I don't know. That would be a different question. I don't know whether it's a concern or not. It is fair to say that we're in fact, we're getting reason to slow down the RCC development. I don't know if you can see this from the bottom of your head, but this is going to get a lot of people into a lot of anxiety. Okay, well, you've got to get it planned together. You've got to have a little ready to show, but a way to see what's going to happen. And I know this should not slow them up, but we've been in contact with them. I mean, we're going to tell you. project as a part of the machine. And so we've had folks at Sasaki, the administrator, also as they're kind of both moving forward with their respectful plans together, we can make sure that we don't give anybody any reason to be delayed either way. So that is one of the other important things about doing this job is that we have the opportunity while they are getting their kids to make sure that I'm going to put everything I can come up with to the degree that we need. You can use insert or properties on the campaign. And try this is what they're trying to do. I guess the other thing we've heard about mental justice is you can get a house and get it to the middle. And just to make sure it works great, you can get a house and get it to the middle. We're going to have a lot of parties on the riverfront right now. A lot of regions. We have a lot of regions that are still forced on. We look down to the square.

Yeah, we don't want to take any more of that parsing than we need to to make this connection.

So, I think I think as Chris mentioned, probably a lot of the people in this meeting don't give any importance to this will be an existing right-of-way decision. And sincerely, while we have this traffic, let it barely apply to this. Not to say that we won't, but I mean, right now, with any other enterprise that we can serve, if I'm going to be playing more of a job of consumer conveyance, that might apply in regard to this, too.

Yes, Mr. Richardson.

I would agree with that. I would just insist that you consult finance. Because I just put it out on the online flowers. We're out for overseas. We're budget-wise, we're looking really good. And right now, I just think, and I know you and I are about to buy it, right? I just want to make sure, because most of these rates have changed for a match, you know what I'm saying? Just to make sure we're moving forward. That's where we're going to do some pieces. That's something you can do is just send it your own. I'm going to add something along. If you play for it, and if you do the same, or you build a little bit of time, that's going to just . I'm just being cautious. I'm going to let down some games and build it in the project. So thinking about finances, I do want to make sure we're continuing to communicate with our underpart state partners, state representatives, and, of course, at the federal level, what we're trying to do here. I know you guys are, but just, you know, making sure they know we're trying to get this thing started. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, you can't put your hands on the floor. I don't know if that's a good way to say it, but it's a good way to say it. I just wanted to ask if there's an update on where we were at in the discussion of this year's degrees. We had a conversation with the county government, but it's a viable piece of equipment. Those are not just, those that use it, but for the community members that are also using it. But here's the idea of when you call 911, you need those that are responding to the other community exactly in the position you need. So I was hoping we could just hear a little bit about where we may be from the city standpoint. There's a few more way around the county government. What we can do ourselves to get the conversation back on the table. And so we're aware of that as far as repairs go, so we do have a very hard request to get it done. We'll be able to work on that in October to help us out with that through the local college office. As far as intended discussions, there might be a few great discussions with the D&D judge on bringing the E-level one remit back out there, and that would be included in those as far as the original remit that we've been discussing for at least three years. That would also incorporate our electric vehicle fix. That would be a city and county issue. change that describes the unit 75,000 feet, 5,000 feet of our unit. So I will continue those conversations. I was hoping to have something in front of you all and speaking with you at the end of the next couple of months as our panel speakers wrap up to 5.1.

I have a question.

I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question.

by the fact that, in this case, it's left over, and you have to get that back out of the cold.

I guess, Steve, that may be a little more today. I guess, if I'm not mistaken, when we were doing the presentation, that was the exact words. And, like, pretty much the price, then, is probably $2 a day. It's not going to be what it is for. So I would agree with Commissioner Maddy. We definitely replacement, I understand, but it is a plan going forward of how we can maintain 29-1-1. I think it's pretty vital. We discussed that when I first got elected, so I think we need to re-up that conversation with the county, and I think if I'm not mistaken, I think they were very open to this. So, you know, Again, I would be curious, and I don't know if anyone will work on you, but I'd like to know if that quote, if that quote sustains where we're at. Assistant Chief Tracy, is that something that's in your purview? I should be curious, I guess, what are the classifications for that one? That one part said to include just the city, or was that city of Kennewick? That was the city of Kennewick. That was not the two other repeaters. Okay. The two other repeaters were going to add, I'm not just asking, roughly $150,000. I think it was $150,000. Maybe, maybe, maybe it was $1,000.

$1,000.

If you'd like, we're going to have an update for you all with the work session and all this. I'll put the calendar as it stands up and hit the arrow and run it back up. And at that point, the chief of the association will do the first roll. Well, that would be nice. I mean, the first roll of the bill, because if anything, it will iron out by this week. It's just closing one. I don't know. I'm sorry. I don't know. I don't know. They didn't say, I don't think it's going to wait until they come back. Is there another way to phase it out? Like, do we have to make it long-term? Or can we figure out a way to, like, portion that first?

We'd like to look at financing as well. But, I mean, I can't. I think we would recommend just paying it out.

Just saying, I don't know about the county, too. Like, I don't know. I just don't know. We're going to have to. We're going to have to. We're going to have to. Okay, and I just wanted to bring up a couple things that people have reached out about lately. Second Street Independent School, because they're back to school, I've had a couple, I know there's been a couple of closer calls of students that are on their way to school, either biking or walking on Second Street due to the private driveway. And I know I just want people to know that we are aware and we are working on that. I think we're setting up a meeting or another meeting Dave said to discuss that and how we can make them safer for pedestrians and cars. And then I did want to bring up what Ms. Holden talked about earlier, the Logan and Todd intersection, just saying, you know, we've received – I've received many calls and emails about that, and people are hoping the state can work with us to potentially turn that into a four-way stop.

I know that conversation has been going on for several years, and you are in contact with

district traffic office. And we are communicating all of these issues. So don't hesitate to reach out. I always say just direct emails, because we need to know what's going on, where you can't be honest all over. So just let us know. And I did just want to bring up Flock and say that renewal is going to be coming up soon. There's been some comments on social media, that sort of thing. But we will be discussing it at some point soon, and it will have to come to a vote for our new one. So I don't know exactly when, but we'll see.

We have a second round on the contract renewal, so we're going to have to wait and see what happens.

If it doesn't get stronger yet, we're going to have to consider this one. back off the cruise earlier, I once spoke to James Ballinger at KYTC about the four-way intersection up on Top Street several months ago, and he asked, of course I did not speak to the commission, they were looking, because there were several people on the street that had to do something, they were looking at a four-way stop They were looking at the crosswalk. They were looking at several different things to help with one intersection. He did ask if it would be something that the commissioner would have an appetite for. I said, well, obviously, if you can come back with something to show that it's going to help the traffic through there, because I know we didn't suggest it. I said, I can't imagine you have any opposition, but I didn't speak for the commissioner, but I did do that several months ago, and I talked to Mr. Bellinger.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I don't know. It's for what we can do to address the new trash situation of some of these. There's going to be more trash than the average. We're going to move these new ones. And I'm going to say, in fact, we're going to do the trash for some of these businesses. And it's in power. So we're going to do the trash several days before New Year's. It's just that because of this COVID-19, it's not just right now. Presidents don't get anywhere. They're all back to where we can be now. communities on each other, on the side of drugs, and on the other side of drugs. And of course, you know, the owners come around to see this, like we did.

So I would like to address that, and celebrate the commission to explore ways either

And not only that, but I know that at least in the applications, we're talking about applications that don't ever come out of group. And I don't want to say that that's a community who are against the externalities that are happening because of the short term rules. So I think we need to do some things in terms of putting a higher price on it. And we've been out of group. We are out of group. It's been a long time since we've been out of group. So we're basically in slow motion. We're going out of group. But going out on the side of this business, I was like, you know, everybody out there did that too.

And that's a success for me.

It was cool. And just to comment on that, I totally am supportive of staff doing that. I also think now that we have funded solid waste for this fiscal year to keep it as is in the house, what else could we do to audit our services and see what other financial gains could be had in terms of revenue? Who else are we serving? It's always a challenge. It's always a challenge. We're good. And earlier in the summer, we proposed or we passed a motion to suspend temporarily the affairs of the trains and buses. And that's how we decided to stop that move. And that number 3 should not be held. It's just extending it longer. I think we don't charge in December any money. I think it's going to be in the year that we get between now and then, when that's something we continue on, or just bring it back to what's important. But I do agree. It's important in motion to continue the suspension of us here, as we've told you, if we have any discussion about when those channels.

Yeah, yeah. That's how it is. Yeah.

I'm going to turn it off. Not much of a reason.

Not much to do. Calls. Do we have those in? Yes.

You may not have it, but I'm just curious how much it's going to satisfy you. Is that the proper term?

Yeah. Satisfy you?

I don't know how much it's going to satisfy you.

I don't know how much it's going to satisfy you.

So you might not fully have to email that.

Send her a letter. Send her a letter.

Yeah, I imagine it's a large spread. That's what we like to do.

Yeah, I understand.

Okay, so you are correct.

We offer, send her a letter.

So every December, regardless of this current moratorium, we do suspended fairs. So all riders are used to getting free fare in December and then starting back up, you know, normal fare in May and January. So if we are going to extend it, I think that that is an appropriate time off time, because I guess we're already used to doing that. Okay, so we started the suspension of fares at the end of June. So I have ridership numbers for July, 2025 and July of this year. 2025, we had 7,068 riders in July of this year, with no fare at 13,015 riders. So that's 5,947 additional riders. which is good and bad, but it's both. It's great to have more people using the service. It's occasionally causing problems with people who are trying to ride before getting to an appointment versus people who seem to be ready to ride. which is not allowed. I mean, it's OK. It's just when it's free, you have more people that are just enjoying the service. So it's both ways. It's a good thing. Which is not necessarily totally negative. If these people like the service they're receiving, perhaps when we get the third backup, they'll continue to be writers. I don't know. But that's really the only information I have about writers' changes, which I only know that this change is going to do what you need it to. What is the signification of that question? That's a question that we don't get. So I'll be honest with you. It's a little disturbing. I would say I don't like one of you. I bet you if you went back two years, that's still going to be double. I mean, I understand. I mean, you've got a generation of folks that need a priority on our transit. So some of the state can see where, you know, the state just brought around a catalog of I mean, I'm sorry. I mean, it's not good. It's full. I mean, it's not good. It changes to get one place or another. And the city's doing it. And so I'm speaking right now to you. Maybe we're going to have to get out of this building. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good.

Yeah.

So that's, yeah, that's, it's a quarter of the right to not do the math on that. I don't, I don't know. Yeah. What I'm saying is just being right.

Yes.

I mean, that's the thing. If I look at my job now in Briggs, it's going to cost me more than gas. Correct. And it isn't about Briggs.

I mean, I just bring, I mean. I don't know.

Sorry. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. If you didn't agree, we could look it back up and see, basically, who are the repeat writers and who are the people that just finally, and I know it's 25 cents, but I can ask you from a place that I just, I can't say, like, I don't know, I have four or so, which is accessibility.

Right.

Is there a person at a different ground state that is quite literally higher up on that level of the ground here that I don't believe I have before? And then, like, they're able to not access the training team. Does that make sense?

Like, I don't really have any holds, I'm sorry.

No, no. But it's just that all of these partners have. I identify that. And so the visioners who point out 100% that they're seeing you just can't drive the bus. But at the same time, for those people that haven't been riding it recently, that have not been able to, where is the accessibility component coming in? Yeah. I don't know the answer to your question, but we do look into it and see if there's anything. But I don't know. I don't know. It's all good. So, I don't know. I guess I have a quarter. I have a quarter, too. So, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. There are programs. I don't know if you haven't seen programs, but there are political organizations that offer assistance. I don't know.

I don't know.

I just want to give you that one. Commissioner Smith-Willis is coming. I'm having a hard time believing that all 65,000, 70,000 people So I'm just sort of running through it. I just think it's, we got rid of a quarter of a million. So I'm curious to dive into that a little bit more and understand what increased it so much and what better thing I would never ghost. I would never ghost, bro.

But if you watch the movie, you should go on the way.

I would never ghost. Is that an individual ride? Those are rides. I mean, those are rides. So the ride is in Utah. So if you get on the bus, your count is one. Your return service count is another one. So if you ride the bus twice a day, they are back in Texas, too. So it's not a body to a county rise. The transfer doesn't count. That's even bigger. So if you get all on the east side, you transfer at the transit center, and get on the west side, that's still just one way. These are public routes that are feeling like both brokers regularly schedule a route with these numbers? Yes. Yes. I don't know if I do any yet. So these are deviated fixed routes. So there's an extended route, but then within a certain distance, you're allowed to deviate from that route as included. Okay. So, yeah, I can ask for mediation numbers. Do we want to do that? Pretty soon, yeah. Right after the end of the month, yeah. That's pretty nice. My biggest problem is someone out there might want to run, and for legitimate purposes, I'm going to see if it's going to be anybody. I think there's a number of exercises. I don't know if there's a Again, I'm not silly, and I don't know why, but for reasons we love, and we really hold on to those that we have right here in Kansas. We're out here doing the good decisions based on it. Again, it's taxpayer money. It's paid for, and it's sold. And I think we have to do this to our friends. And you know how I am on the budget, right? Everything ebbs and flows, and we can pay our five-dayers over. I don't care if it's important, but it's got to be sold. And then you get somebody on the ride, and they don't have a seat. And I know a lot of people in the satellite area who depend on that bus. There's a lot of people that didn't have to go to work. Yes, I understand that it's a lot of time. I think we will continue to think because some of the jurisdictions, Frankfurt, there's a lot of Uber, there's a lot of Uber, there's a lot of taxi that charge $30 and they're just going out on the street and working. So I was just... to the point of taxpayers 100% yes. But at the same time, I still think that there's a way to ask the community if we didn't have that conversation and the data that we do have with spitting affairs, it's just entrainment. So that's just, I would like to look for other kinds of data. And I think there are people that are just, I don't know, less characterized with time. Is there a way we can identify them to be able to charge it at some point versus people that are passionate, maybe just don't want to sit up to work, to have their children, et cetera, et cetera. I thought this was, at least in the fairs the first time, so I'm hopeful. Okay. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. So that's what we've been doing for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. So that's what we've been doing for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time. We've been doing it for a long time.

We've been doing it for a long time.

Do you need it? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I acknowledge that we now take second session for NTI 621.81018.

We move to property. Second session. In terms of working property with the sewer station itself, the property led its economic development, but what was able to do that is still affect the value of the property, and that should be indicated in the whole notation. Second session.

All those in favor of the motion to move to second session, I move to second session. Thank you.

I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
