City Council - Regular Meeting

There's an opportunity for anyone to address the council. While we won't respond or engage in discussion during this portion of the meeting, we may follow up afterward if appropriate. If you'd like to speak, please come forward, state your name and address for the record, and limit your remarks to three minutes. My name is Richard Vaughn. I live at 1416 Kingswood Drive in Fulton. I'm here representing BFW again this year for our Fourth of July. I uh handed out a brief little thing. I talk about it a little bit. Since this is a special year this year, the BFW is considering make trying to make this Fourth of July festivity more of an all day event. We're looking to bring in some food trucks. Also have a band to play in the park this year along with some fireworks. We're hoping to do something more special this year with the fireworks. So, I'm here to ask the city to support us again this year. We also would like to have a closure of 10th Street from State Street to the entrance on the north end just in between that block. We'd like to get it closed off and park the food trucks out there. have any other questions I'll try to answer.

We didn't get to that when we hit new business. Mr. Gone, we do have a we do have a part under new business where we're discussing this. Okay. If you would like to stick around, I will. Great. Thank you. Thank you so much.

All right. Next is the consent agenda which includes the following items. City Council meeting minutes from March 24, 2026 and April 14, 2026. An event request for the Wallworth Company picnic which will occur on June the 6. An event request for the Independence Day parade which will occur on July the 4th and an event request for the Cowway County Crop Hunger Walk which will occur on October 11th. Does anyone have want to make a motion to approve the consent agenda or have any issues? Second.

Okay, I had a motion and a second. All those in favor? Any discussion? Okay, no worries. All right. All those in favor? I opposed. The Senate agenda is approved. We have no consent agenda items for discussion. Which brings us to the presentation and acceptance of the March department um DOA report.

All right. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. I appreciate that very much. Uh in March, we had a pretty pretty busy month. Excuse me. Uh so, a few things I want to highlight from my report and then as usual, our city staff are here and available to answer questions. Uh, but I do want to bring a little bit of a spotlight again to the grand opening of HWI's lightweight monolithic facility. Um, we certainly had a group of council members that were there for that grand opening and I think that made a huge impression and showed a lot of community support. So, thank you to those of you who were able to attend. Uh, it was an honor to be able to speak at that event and we're always appreciative of not only our partners at HWI but our partners at the chamber as well who were part of that. Um, additionally, we had uh a number of staff members and members of the public utility board who attended the annual IMGA conference in Springfield, Illinois. That's always a very informative informative conference and uh a lot of long-term planning considerations were brought up at that that conference as well. So, uh just a couple things that that were really big during the month month of March, but again, if you have any questions on my report or anything for the staff, we are here to answer those for you. A second. Any discussion? All those in favor? Please say

I. All oppose. I'm getting the swing of it. All right. March DA report is accepted as presented. Okay, we're now to the presentation acceptance of the March financial statement.

Andy Johnson, CFO. Um the city of Fton has recorded two months of sales tax in 2026. Elections are up 1.9% from fiscal year 2025. Use tax is down 15.2% from fiscal year 2025. March included two payroll cycles and overall performance remains in lines with expectations and we will continue to monitor trends throughout the year. You guys have got a chance to look at the statement. Does anybody have any questions? I have one question personally. Um so on the first page I notice under our loans 1303 Westminster which is our warehouse. We have a balance as of the end of February of $100,000. That's awesome.

It's going to be paid off in June I believe. paid off in June. Yep. And Daryl and I were thinking about doing some kind of a something. We need to have something. Yes. Some recognition of that. Yes. A mortgage bling if nothing else. Okay, great. Anyone else have any questions? I have one. Um, first of all, I want to say I really like how you've got this formatted. It makes very easy to read. Um, on page five, there is a capital outlay and we're at 90.32% of budgeted. Oh, on the airport. Um, we had an encumbrance for the big airport project that's going out there and I think it happened in March. So, that's going to be ma mainly that whole budget. That's pretty much what was budgeted out there. It just kind of stuck out then I would.

Yeah, it does. Yep. It was the big airport project. I think it was five or 600,000. All right. That's the only question I have. Anyone else? I'll entertain that motion. I move that. Oh, okay. I'll second it. Any disc any further discussion of that motion? All those in favor say I.

I oppose hearing none. The uh March financial statement is declared accepted. Okay. We have no unfinished business at this time. So move brings us to new business. All right, the new business is um we have representatives from VFW Post 2657 with us tonight. VFW is requesting financial support, approval for closure of a portion of East 10th Street and permission for food truck sales for Fourth of July firework event. Any uh if you'd like to come back up, Mr. on. So, um you're requesting you're going to trying to have an all day event since it's the 250th grade. Um wanting to bring food trucks in and you said you want to close off part of 10th Street from State to where? Yeah, actually uh we want to leave State Street open and the entrance into the park.

Okay. And close it off right where that little creek crosses. Okay. Up to the driveway of the golf course. Okay. Country Club and set the food trucks along the edge of the road, not not out in it in case we need ambulances or emergency vehicles up there. But then the entrances into the park would all stay open for not to traffic but for people to do the van would probably set up in the theater area at the park. Okay.

And I I say an all day deal. I mean essentially starting off at at the Mr. Von, I know you put this in your request, but I just wanted to clarify. The goal uh for the increased contribution that you're seeking is to add to the fireworks display with this being the 250th celebration. Is that correct? Yes. And Okay. So, that's that's the basis of the 5,000. Yes. And will that cover it?

Uh, no. that I mean that that never covers the far deal but but we get other donations and we've already started collecting donations early this year because of that and and we do have some individuals that's donated and we've got commitments from different construction people step up too. So Mr. what we've always done with our Could you possibly give us an estimate of the grand total of your fireworks? The fireworks usually run 11 to 12,000,

but we're hoping for more this year, right? Or is that where you're going to is that your cap? That's what it had been in in the past. We we plan on going a little over that this year. So, so the very end will have something maybe better than we had. In fact, Mr. Bond, could you uh refresh our memories? Um, last year, what did we give you? 2,500. What was the amount from last year? Yes, it was 25,000. That's what I Okay. So, we're asking increase to 5,000. Is that correct?

Yeah. Just That's hope for Okay. We're just want to do something different. So, I move that we um fund $5,000 and if he needs more, we may he may come back again to ask it if he can't get the support. So, let's go with the 5,000. And so I move that we we give the BFW $5,000 for the fireworks.

I I I don't have any problem of the 5,000, but asking for more is where I have the problem. I think that we we should be that we asking they're giving that increase. I don't have any problem with supporting that. Uh and before we vote on it, uh trying to get a a bearing on State Street. Is that in front of the uh the

State Street? Is that street right in front of Legends? Yes. So, it's not going to go quite that far. It's going to go essentially right between the country club drive and the drive to get into the park. Is that right? Okay. So, that way they can still get safely into the country club for the display. Fire can get in and out and then individuals who are going to be watching the display will be able to safely get in and out park as well. Okay. Thank you. I know in the in the times past dune uh during Junth, we had the uh food trucks up along that State Street, but I got an idea where it's at now. Thank you. Appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Richard. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Any other questions regarding the funding? Don't leave yet, please. The funding for the Any other discussion on the funding? All right. All those in favor? IOT. We had a motion and a second for the funding. Clarify really quickly. It was

and that motion was for $5,000 with the option to potentially come back if he needed additional funding. So that would be what you're voting on now. Okay. Everybody knows what we're voting on. $5,000. Okay. All those in favor, we did this already. We'll do it again. All those in favor, please say I. I. I. All those opposed. All right. Thank you. So, we still and I'd like to make

We still had to talk about the the the closing of the street and the and approval of using the truck of of the trucks on public property selling. So, I'd like to make a motion for that. I'd like to make a motion for the closing off of 10th Street and using the trucks for public property. I'll second it. Okay. Any discussion in there? Okay. Would any of the would any of the food trucks possibly go into Veterans Park or is that are you just We would rather them just stay on Temp and then the van would be physically in the park. Okay. That's why I didn't know my

and that's one of the reason we asked to have the 10th Street. Okay. closed to traffic on just that section. Okay. Okay. All right. Any other discussion? All those in favor, please say I. I. Opposed. All right. Motion clear pass. Thank you, Richard. Richard, before you BFW, appreciate. Thank you, Richard. We appreciate all you do for us.

Richard, I thank you. I appreciate the VFW. They got a lot of good men at the VFW and they're in support of our community and I appreciate that. Thank you. Thanks. All right, that is all our new business. So, we'll move on to council concerns, beginning with Councilman Combmes. Yes, Deputy Mayor. Uh, the Planning and Zoning Commission has not met since our last meeting. Um, so I don't have anything new to add there. Um, in terms of concerns, I've just got a couple things. Um, one just kind of a uh thank you and a shout out to the uh members of the police department that were at the um prom this past weekend. I don't know if an email has come through, but one of the students asked for a card, send an email for speaking about how great it was to have them there and they were engaging with them. Um, and so I just wanted to make sure we publicly said something because they appreciated that. Um, and even got a couple of them to put costumes on for a photo. Um, so it was it was kind of fun just to see the kids actually engaging.

I do. Uh, not with me. Yeah. Uhhuh. Okay.

Um, a second one um is just it's that time of year where we got to kind of focus on the mowing um in in neighborhoods. I know um with a lot of this rain I've been noticing mowing and and yard waste has they burded a lot more water into the road when people haven't taken care of mowing their yards or um leaves the most notably I know of a couple places where leaves clogged up drains and um in yards like the covers and then forced those leaves or water out on the road where it kind of made it hazardous. Um, and then I guess my third one was just a thank you to the staff that really worked on the cleaning up of all the debris and stuff after the the storm that we had the what couple Fridays ago.

Um, I haven't heard whether it's actually been classified as a tornado as it goes through our town. All the diagrams seem to say it stopped, but it knocked over a ton of trees. Yes. which was um kind of just a question and I know I had mentioned this earlier in an email, but like if we could get a kind of a synopsis of what actually happened to our town so that the general public understands like what the city took on um and maybe what else we've seen and noticed because I know um every time I drive Westminster I see more um and I know there's a lot of some trees that almost hit houses and so I know we're thankful they did not hit houses but I also just carrying for that whole stretch of land there. I'm sure they impacted the city in some way, too.

Um, Mr. Dunlap, Mr. Hedges, and Mr. Singh, could you guys come up and provide a little bit of an update on what your departments did uh in regards to that storm and the cleanup? Don't everybody run up at once. The first uh as soon as the storm started uh we had officers out patrolling the area looking for any threats to the community. Trees that were down, we were able to call them out uh to the utility department, street department, fire department. Uh, I went out in my POV on my personal vehicle, was driving around, uh, trying to make sure we didn't have any huge threats, uh, and just helping locate trees that were down and things like that. I believe there was a report from the National Weather Service that said it was VF0 tornado that that actually struck the north end of the town. So, uh, it was an actual tornado, but that's what as far as the police department, that's what we did. And we did have the street lighter stop lights went out industrial north. They directed traffic there until the stop signs no doubt to get stop signs put out to handle that intersection. Yes, there was a deputy sheriff out there that saw the rotation that he reported to. Thank you. All right. Russ fire chief. Um, so we had 17 calls I believe in right at an hour. Um, mainly for trees down, power lines down,

um, trees in roadways. Um, during the tornado warning, contacted the guys, didn't want them out in the warning. Um, but by the time I got a hold of them, we were out of the warning. So we all went out and was removing trees that were blocking the roadway. Called utilities, they came and they also um in street department really got in and helped with those. We made sure every you know no live power lines were down um stuff like that and just from call to call. So that's about all we had. Yeah, I was uh I was out of town. So, uh I was on the phone with with Courtney and uh Micah Harris. Micah Harris, all the electric department. always amazes me because you can have something coming through and he's giving me a report of over by the u the area just west of the power plant where the where the uh pole yard is and the archery range. He goes, "I just found a pole. It's it's still hot. It's, you know, the wire is about 12 feet off the ground." Mike is always so calm. You know, it's like if you ever call me and you're freaking out, this is going to be a bad day. But, uh, we took some damage at the airport, hanger 13, which has not been rented, and we're trying to figure out exactly what to do with it. Do you tear it down? Do you reconstruct it? Uh, the roof went off of it. Uh, there was a lot of trees down in William Woods and in that section of town. That section is what got hit probably the worst. Um, we had scattered outages. Everybody's back on. everybody. I mean, you're the folks that work for the city, they they came through just like they always do.

Yeah. And uh I think uh Jeremy Poston was out at the airport working and Mike has said before he left to go back home, he's going to check on Jeremy, see if Jeremy need anything. So, I mean, they all work together so good. You you can't tell there's department A and department B. It's just it's just the city. And that's great. That's testament to our city staff. Um, I have noticed, you know, some of the trees that were down, people are still cutting them up, putting them up next to the, you know, for pickup for yard waste, but that was this week, but I think there's still I'm still seeing some out there. There's still some out there. A lot of it disappeared over the weekend. Uh, the dumpsters out the warehouse were full, totally full Monday. We dumped them Monday and they're filling up again.

Okay. So some people didn't take it because there wasn't any place to put it, but we've been trying to get those dumpsters empty so they could take stuff out or they can call solid waste and ask, you know, for a pickup. So do we do we still have the drop off at the fire station on Tennessee? Not for limbs. No, limbs are just at the warehouse. There's three out in front of the warehouse that that are not behind the fence that uh residents of the city can use whenever they need to for yard. Great. Thank you. Okay. Could have been a lot worse. I think we came out pretty well. Yes.

Hey, Gerald, before you leave, uh there was a a group of men who from the Southwest Baptist uh disaster uh crew. They they were going around and uh getting uh uh checking with people that, you know, basically couldn't get the stuff and cutting up stuff for them. and they were putting it near the road. Is there any movement on anything like that? I think that was that was starting kind of vetted through the county emergency and uh they're giving us the addresses of those volunteers that came and you know did the work that you're talking about.

Were they going to be picking those? Michelle Kiddwell has been worked with with the city and she is I guess I'm gonna say vetted that they were volunteers. I think that's uh that's a great thing whenever in the city of Fulton if we got if we have a a storm like that that this is we're we're here to serve and help the people in our community and that's a great thing. I appreciate that. Thank you. Courtney, you good?

Yeah, I think you guys covered it all. Now, obviously, kind of like you're saying, Councilman Coms, there were a lot of homes and private residences and areas that were impacted, a lot of trees that were down. Uh, a lot of those have been cleaned up, but kind of like you're saying, Deputy Mayor, there are certainly still some areas I think that we'll have to have to see some attention. Um, but unfortunately, we don't have a good way necessarily of tracking individual uh property damage uh since that doesn't necessarily go through the city, but we certainly know when we saw those trees and sheds, things like that. So, but thank you again to you guys and your staff. Um, you do a great job and again, they were they were on it and I very much appreciate the attention to detail of not going out in the middle of the storm. Uh, keeping everybody safe as well.

Absolutely. You know, my point was I I'm still seeing it out there and my question was, are we still picking picking that up? So, okay. Thank you, Councilman Co. Do you have anything else? Uh, that's it for this time. I just want to say thank you again to all the staff that were involved in that because that was a probably a big undertaking. Absolutely. Did we have anything last night? Yes. I don't think it even got to us, did it? Nothing of significance. Obviously, we had a lot of rain over yesterday. Different areas of localized flooding. Uh but those are those are being addressed. So, nothing substantial to report.

Thank you. That t the season for that, I guess, Councilman Coward. I was impressed with the attendance at the Carver Park groundbreaking and I applaud the council and the staff for moving forward on that whole sensory area. It's a nice view when I drive by every day coming to town from what was there and the improvements. I was also uh pleased with the a number of council council members that attended the community forum. This uh school attendance problem was pretty well defined as being a parent problem, not getting elementary kids to school. I know several school officials spoke to that and Chief Lagwick spoke to that. So, I don't know what the solution is, but I I think jointly we all can kind of figure out a solution over a period period of time. Thank you for the opportunity.

Thank you, sir. Councilwoman Hansen.

Yes. Thank you. Um, I just wanted to um reiterate that the uh historical preservation commission had the pride and preservation awards program um earlier this month and to congratulate Carmen Brandt for winning that award and also for the um Carver apartment project because that's that was just a really great housing project in our community. Um, there is an upcoming community conversations day happening with Central Missouri Community Action and it is going to be held on May 6th at First Baptist Church and um it's a a great day to meet um lots of organizations that work within our county and to talk about problems and what kinds of task forces might need to be implemented in the near future. Um, so I'd love to have some council people there or or anyone.

What time is that? Um, it's an all day thing. I believe it starts at 8:30. Um, and it's with Central Missouri Community Action, but I can get some more information on on the times. Okay, great. Thank you. On the schedule. Anything else? That's all. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Henshi. We have not had a public safety question. I would like to reiterate.

I'd like to reiterate all the hard work that our city workers and utility workers and police and um fire um did during these storms. Um, and I would also like to ask people, you know, as tempting as it is when these storms are going around, go down your basement. Don't go don't go driving around and making yourself in the way of the people that are doing the work. Please respect them and let them do their work and stay home. And you can drive around after it's over, but don't drive around while it's going on. Um, and that's all I have.

All right. Thank you, Councilwoman Realton. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. I don't know if this council knows, but Callaway County and Fulton has a community choir and it will be my last concert May the 3rd and May the 7th as director of the Callaway Singers. And I'd like to invite all of you because I've been doing it for 20 years and I don't believe I've ever seen a council member at one of our choir concerts. So I would like to openly invite you all to attend. May 3rd and what?

May the 3rd, Sunday, May the 3rd at 2:00 at the Brick District Playhouse and Thursday May the 7th at 7 o'clock at the Brick District Playhouse. Anything else? I'm finished. Thank you, Council Member.

Yes. Good. Good evening. Um, it was a tornado as far as I'm concerned. And the reason was uh over my house, you know, I'm south. It came through and uh we went to the basement. We always do have all our little radios and all our little things that we needed. And we were very fortunate. No one was hurt. And I'm agree with everyone else. This community is awesome. I'm not born and raised here, but I love my little community. And I tell you what, this bunch works together. And I just want to thank everyone in the city that helped each other. And that is exactly what our world needs right now. This is people that care. And I just want to thank all of you in the our area, Callaway County, all of us. Thank you very much for being such good people. And that's really all I have.

Thank you, Councilman Washington.

Thank you, Doc. Uh, Deputy Mayor, uh, uh, I know the, uh, park board had a meeting. I'm not able to attend on that on those Wednesdays. We're going to ask if, uh, director of the parks will come up and share any highlights, any points that we need to be aware of what's coming up. And I appreciate her uh, doing this. Charlene McArder, parks and recck superintendent. I'm sorry, Bob. I was looking back at the date of when the park board meeting was last. Um, we did hold a parkboard meeting on Wednesday, April the 15th. Um, we did meet quorum. Um, we discussed several different things. Um, one of the items that we discussed was highlighting um, we have a wall of legends and the concept of um, the wall of legends at the facility is to highlight people of honor in our community. Um, that's kind of how the building's name originated was this concept to highlight significant people in the community and honor them on the wall at Legends. um nothing has kind of progressed or developed over the years since the building has opened. So we kind of made a point to push that forward. Um so we they did nominate two individuals that um I will bring to the council next meeting um and kind of highlight and give you guys information on those two. Um, another item that we discussed is we have entered um an acceptance to utilize survey monkey to gather some information in the community um to get feedback to develop a new

10-year parks and recck master plan. So, um, I put together a trial survey and ask all of the park board members to take the survey and then provide feedback so that we can go ahead and get that pushed out to the community and um, get that available so that we can gather information to kind of push forward. So, those were the two main items. We did go over um general programming and a couple of other things, but those were the two main things that we discussed at that meeting. So, could you give us an update on where we are on Carver Park? Yeah, I sure can. Yes.

Uh the playground has been installed. We're waiting for the uh the groundwork, the rock to be laid so that the company can come in and schedule the pour in place material underneath the playground. The basketball court lining, the individual should be back next week to the latter part of the week to finish the lining and installation of the basketball goals. We have onhand benches that we have to install that'll be installed on the basketball court itself as well as surrounding the playground area. We do have new water fountains that will be um installed on the front side of the restroom concession building. We also have a water fountain that will be installed near the larger shelter. Um we have a current water fountain there, so it's going to replace that one. So, some of that has been weather dependent. It's kind of pushed us further along.

What about the fencing? The fencing, um, we have yet to hear when we're on the schedule for that. Okay. We have accepted a price quote and we've requested to be put on the schedule, but I have not got an update on when when that will take place. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. I mean, you you mentioned the groundbreaking there very later that day or the next day when I saw it, there was already stuff there and going on. It was like that's the fastest groundbreaking I've ever seen. You would think that the playground would be a big convoluted process, but no, they they knocked that out really quickly.

They were there even on Saturday. Was that a contractor putting it in, I guess? Yes. So, we um went through playground consultants and they contracted out the labor of that. Okay. Yeah. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Wow, that was quick. I would, you know, you don't expect something that quickly. Another before, before you move on, I have another

uh just want to uh make council aware of uh there's a program going on called Scare Straight, uh which is um trying to get our youth a program that shows the youth the reality of of the choices that they make. That's going to be at uh Reverend Jackson's church annex is on the May 1st May 1st uh at 6 PM.

And also uh just bring it to our attention there the the other community meeting to supporting our children and family community meeting regarding how we can assist the children and the and the school system. And that's going to be on Saturday, May 30th at 10:00 a.m. Same same location. That's all. Thank you. Great.

Thank you. All right. And then my turn. So for human rights commission has not met since our last council meeting. Uh we are still accepting application for the Jane Beerman bike award. And uh the other thing we didn't cover when we were talking about the storms is everybody was safe. And that was that that was that's always paramount. I mean, property can be replaced. Trees will grow back, but people can't be replaced very easily. So, it's always good to see that. All right. Thank you all. Okay. We'll now move on to resolutions. We have uh resolution 3608. Councilman Henchi, would you please present that resolution?

Yes, deputy mayor. Resolution 3608, rehab of ground storage water tank project number city of Fulton 26-01. A resolution authorizing the mayor on behalf of the city of Fulton, Missouri to sign all necessary documents in relation to the contract with Clearwater Codings Ltd for the rehabilitation of the 1,770,000galon ground storage water tank number six. project number city of Fulton 2601. I make a motion to adopt a resolution number 368 at this council meeting. Okay, we have a motion and a second to adopt resolution number 368. Do we have any discussion? I have one question. And we have the figure here. Um, and it says it's it's in the budget. Do we have is this above or below our budgeted amount?

We had 1.2 million budgeted for water tank maintenance, well maintenance. So, we're under the budget. All right. Awesome. We received six bids. This is the second to the lowest bid is what we're recommending. Okay. you think good good contractor but the reason we didn't take the low bidder was because they didn't have very much experience understood so we took the second bidder and while the city of Fton hadn't worked with them we've been working with B&N inspectors out of St. Louis, they did this south tanks also inspect them for us and they had good good things to say about them. So I feel confident with the second bidder.

Okay. Is this the tank up by the rec by Legends Reclex? No, this is the tank up there by the auto museum. Oh, okay. In the in the the green on green tank. Understood. Okay.

So that's it. I will point out though that you know we've been rebuilding the engineering department and one of the new engineers we threw this in his plate Ryan Young and he answered all the biders questions. He worked with BNN got the bid out he worked with Caddy I think she said he did a good job. So uh just let you all know that you you got some young young folks in engineering too that care. In fact, Brian wrote me this cheat sheet for you all tonight used. So, uh, I have my cheat sheet with me. But the high bid was 1.4 million and then we had a 535,888,000, a 1.177, a 784, and an 894. So, around that 800,000 should have been a good bid number. Throwing out the highs and the lows.

Yeah. Okay. Any other questions for D? All right. Thank you, D. Any other discussion? All those in favor, please say I. I. Those opposed. All right. Resolution number 368 is declared passed. All right. We have no ordinance on tonight's agenda. Announcements. Our next city council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 12th at 6:30 p.m.

I would also like to just give a quick shout out to the Kingdom of Callaway Historical Society and Diane Bur Lewig. Uh the city was honored to receive an award this past weekend for our preservation efforts and the efforts that went into celebrating the 200 years of Fulton. So, uh, we really value them as our our community partners and again, we're very very honored to receive that award from them this past weekend. Any other announcements? Okay.

Excuse me. I meant to ask Darl, what's the uh what's the outlook on our old city warehouse? Are we doing anything? Somebody somebody in my comm in the in the community was asking are we doing anything with that uh old warehouse and what's the latest on the the bridge from uh from the college? Yeah. Any just any update?

Answer the last question first. the Jeep Bridge. We're still working with the railroad owners and we think we're near an agreement with the railroad owners as far as crossing that railroad tracking of the bridge and the old warehouse. We're really not doing anything. We we did revamp one of the sheds and we we got a deal on some top soil and we're always looking for top soil to fix yards with. So, we put some top soil underneath one of the sheds in there. So, when we do fix yards, it'll be dry instead of just pile of mud. So, other than using it for that, I really don't know anything else we're using for

Yeah. I would also just point out, you know, there are some ongoing efforts. Um, nothing really that I can give you a definite answer on right now, but we do also have some of those buildings that are privately rented out. So, it is still in use there on that site. Thank you. Anything else? All right. We do have need for an executive session under section 610.021 for the following legal matters, real estate, personnel, and labor negotiation. I'll I I'll take a motion to enter executive session.
