Okay. Today is August 27th. Oh, this evening at 5 pm, the budget and the benefactors have called to make a meeting order. We are now accepting six roles. Oh, please make an arrangement. Okay. First, it should be the announcement of the sixth number in the agenda of school budget discussions. It will be J. Sartin Road in the new business. In that case, I have a request to accept the agenda. I have a request to accept the agenda. A request from Hirshman. The second one.
The second one from Stubblefield.
Do you have any comments or suggestions? All that is in accordance with the IAEA. Okay. Oh, I didn't put minutes in between. Make a promise to accept the minutes of the last meeting in your pocket. A promise to accept the minutes. A promise to accept the minutes of the set field. The second one is Humane. Okay. Everything is fine. Okay. Okay. Okay. There are no general opinions. Then Mariana Budget Dispensaries.
Yes, there are two eggs, but they are added together. Everyone will get one.
Yes.
Okay. Okay. The first one is 17 crore 12 lakhs 2701. These are three different patterns. And these are the patterns that are still going on. We are investing from the last year to the new year. So we can complete it. And There are a lot of things that haven't been completed yet, but... October is coming to an end.
So... That's the Health Department. Yes.
And we have the General Administration Project. Those are the roof projects. And there's one that's going on in the Justice Center. We'll have the next library soon. Um, Pudhu Sureksha was a place where we were doing some of the things we were doing instead of reinstating HVAC in the jail. Um, we allowed 1,50,000 people. Of that, there are 9,882 left. Oh, next is Pudhujan Aarogivam Kshemavam. They are still continuing two CDBG grants. They are extending those grants. That's when the funds were spent. Oh, next. It's a animal protection center. The $14.37 that was not spent in that way is left. Oh, next. Oh, tea deck. She was in pain. It seems like it took a long time for them to move forward. Oh, like I heard Westbourne and Viola, I heard that they are working on it. Yes, but that's the whole budget. We haven't spent anything from our part. Which is to be completed in Hillsville? We have to get the bill for that. Which is to be completed in Water Malinajala Authority? Yes. Then at the end is the health department, the construction of the bridge. There are 3,56,207 left. Do you know when all this will be budgeted? According to my calculation, the fund that has not been assigned as $ 2,98,563 to lend is returning to the balance. Thus, the monthly estimate is 95,212.
Okay, you both want to do it together.
We can do that. Next. This is not what I want to distribute, but I need it. And this is number 1, Poojam 1, 2, Poojam 2, 7, 2. The first one is $7,500, which the Manchester Library receives from Manchester City. The fund balance of the general fund will have to be reduced to $4,18,484. I have given an estimate of how much each one of these deposits is. The biggest thing I have found now is the commissions in the jail phone. S.E.C.E. passed the order that commissions can no longer be accepted from the phones of fraudsters. I didn't know about it. Shady. When I started looking at the way payments that we received in June during the budget, two weeks ago, when I started looking at it, what happens in the jail, you know they have FCC. So I wanted to bring that issue to light now.
This year, the revenue expected from the budget is declining. Okay.
Some of the other expenses, some of the things that had to be processed, had to be given to me as if I had been forced to do so, and I had to pay a huge amount of money, and I had to pay a huge amount of money, and I had to pay a refund. We had to make a refund. Oh, we got an oh, I understood. I wanted to give something to Maravesh. Oh, Homeland Security Grant. I wanted to increase that $11,000. But anyway, I can do it later. Um, we got a Homeland Security Grant. That's $11,672. Then $12,000 for it will be managed by utilities. We haven't looked at it until that contract opens. According to my best calculation, it would be Rs. 18,000. That's water, tap water, gas.
It's called medicine, isn't it?
Yes. It's not bad for a year. Next is operation policy. Then it's reduced. Okay. Then telephone commissions.
Okay, does anyone have a question? Do we have to make them act at the same time? Yes, let's make a promise to approve both of them.
We will make a promise to approve both of them.
Haman's promise. I will make a second one. Mr. Toad's second one. Any discussion? Everyone who agrees with Ayu. Okay. Okay. Mr. Benton. Hey, can you tell me something? Do you know what kind of profits Bono is going to make next year? Do you know? Of course. Okay.
Who is Bono? Do you know? It won't happen this coming year.
I'll talk about the next year next year. 2028 budget.
Okay. That's confirmed. Bono tickets can be sold for 8 lakhs to 1 pound for 20 pennies. Then, There are other small things you haven't seen. Let's look at the history when you get the money.
I want to. I don't want to. I won't look at it first.
The problem will be the schools. Yes, yes. They will get the first half. The second half goes to the place where the money is spent.
When Manchester City Bonnaroo closed, I was convinced that our sales were not good. Yes.
But yes, but when people come to Bonnaroo, petrol pumps, dollar stores.
You were all very small. Yes.
At that time, I felt that hotel and motel occupancy tax would be the most important, but administrative. Because people come to the motels to spend the night before the week, I don't know if it will break the bank.
But I don't think that if sales tax, Manchester CET does that, we will feel that way. I think they are right. Because three school systems do that, they get half of that point, right? They get half of our sales tax of 2.75%.
That's right. Then it's that. Then it's 1.375. And then you count the total amount of money in each city or town and they distribute that money. So, you know, that's why we need to start educating people. If you can, that's the reason why I suggested it. Yes, if you can spend money here, if you are shopping in Kroger or Murfreesboro, shop at home, because you are still helping the school system. If you like Publix, if you like food here, but if we help by shopping at home, we can come out of this. Yes, if we sit at home and shop at home, it can come by itself. I know you can't buy everything, but that Ulbava Srodas. If I order something from the internet and it comes from Memphis, will the sales go to Memphis permanently?
No, it's delivered.
Okay. Because under the state law, if it is a Tennessee state, it goes to a different state. Okay. Okay. So, if I order something from the internet, it comes to Coffey County without a sale.
Yes. If you have delivered it,
Okay, so it helps me a lot. Because I order from Walmart too. It comes from here. So, if I order online from Walmart and they deliver it to my house, the sales will go to the rural coffee county.
That's right. The rural sales are very strong. I meant that... It's my wife.
I'm not trying to take money from a county. It is easy for me to order from home. It will be displayed in my house. Since I live under that law, even if it is done here in Manchester, I help people with my law by ordering it. Okay, what is that? Okay. Yes, I meant the first half of that dollar. Yes, the first half of 50 cents even now. Definitely. Anyway, if you order anything online, you will help the three school systems in Coffey County. So, if you are buying anything online now, you will help Coffey County Schools, Telium, Manchester and County. Okay, that's one thing we can teach people. Yes. Okay. That's a good thing. Okay, Mr. Hart. Yes, that's a good question. I would like everyone who is interested in the budget and the charity to understand that we need to move forward. To be precise, all Christmas shopping should be online.
Or in the city or in the city or in the city.
Yes, you can choose your city. That is, if you are shopping, you are still helping the schools in Coffey County. If you are shopping in Manchester, you are still helping the schools in the city. Because of that sale, you know, the first half of it goes to the school system. So, if we are shopping at home, we are helping ourselves. Yes, okay, okay, Mr. Bartlett, forgive me.
Okay, it was nice to hear about the gas station, because if you buy gas... That station goes to a pool.
You don't understand.
I don't know where you buy gas in Tennessee, but we get the same fare. Even the trucks that come through the road don't buy gas in Tennessee. They still think that they can afford to drive. Wow! Tennessee is the state of the road. Anyway, I'm here. In the County Highway Department, I am Benton Warklett. I am here for the two grants we received and for the few grants we received. For a short time, Dave Kappa, who was here, worked for me in the same grant that CR Engineering worked for me. Thus, we received only two equal grants of $2,65,000. From $530 to $5,300,000. That's 20% of the money. I'm here to help you with that 20%. Each grant will cost $53,000. That's $1,600,000. Those grants. One SS4A grant. It's safe for everyone. It can't be used to make money. It can't be used for walking. Oh, we've started using this as a scan of our roads. It tells us the condition of the streets, roads, lanes, and roads on the right-way. If you want to see an example of that scan, I spoke to a company called Sivil, that is, CYVL. I started bringing my laptop, but it didn't look that good on it. On a big screen, you can see it very well. But it shows the scan, what the scan gives you, and all the details. You can go there and click on us. It will show you exactly what to do for Askan County. There is a way to plug numbers into different tables. If you need, you can do it on each side of the road and you will get a cost. We are going to use the second grand for things like gardens, bridges, stone walls, and so on. It's the same thing on the ground floor. They walk around and see how good they are, what kind of work they have to do, and so on. I didn't really plan to get two grands. That's it. I think it's a good idea to spend 5,30,000. It's not a scam. It's very easy to spend money like a scam on a scam. But I wanted to ask you a little help in that 20%. It will be difficult for us to find that money. We can do it. It will be difficult. We will have to take something else to complete it, I think. But I still can't make sure. The company I want to scan roads with hasn't given me one so far. It's in the civil engineering department. They will give you cameras on civil matters. You can scan your road as many times as you want when you go out. Or it's something that only happens once in a while when you call. It will be very difficult. It will be very difficult to get a bad spot on the road. The next year it will be more difficult. The next year it will be more difficult. It is an effort to use a scan once every five years. If you want, use a scan every day. You will be able to better understand how fast that road breaks and the other roads, roads, and bridges under the road. You will be able to better understand how fast it breaks and what kind of money you need. It's better to spend your money. That's why a dollar is so expensive. Because, you know, money is the problem. Okay, that's all I have. That's all I have. That's all I have.
That's all I have. That's all I have. That's all I have. That's all I have. That's all I have. That's all I have. You can click on that area. It will tell you what kind of situation it is. Do you know this different, just, bad road? Do you know the type of road? So you can know if this is a hot mix or cold mix road. Also, you can determine how much it will cost to repair that small section road, or you can know or wait for the whole road. Or it would be very good if you know exactly what is there. I don't know what the difference in price is, but it's everywhere. If it's not the stuff in the car, it's just to absorb the power of the pumps.
Kaveri's Heidegg is the most Heidegg. This does more than the other ones. This is a dwarf, so it works just like it does in the moon. But he only does it once for you. He only does it once. And that's 200.
It is impossible to find another quarter of a billion dollars to scan every year. That's what you have to do. So, if Civil gives you other benefits, you can do it every year using your vehicles. We can connect it to anything we get. Oh wow!
In any of our vehicles, there is a radar and a radar. I think this is beneficial. I don't know about registering terrorism with bombs and things like that. But... What did you say? You can't use it without money. Without money.
So what is the definition of a roadblock? Meaning?
Now, a few roadblocks have been completed, and in other counties, a few roadblocks have been completed. We are one of the few counties in this grant. There was another thing I wanted to tell you earlier, but you were right. If they find a safety measure that helps with paving, they will do it. But it's a little difficult. You really have to do it. That's why I asked if it's really difficult to complete paving.
If paving is not done, I can understand that you can't build a new road or that road. But what about reconditioning? Paving is not prohibited, is it? But...
We were in a kind of confusion. About a year ago, we talked about this. We did that. I remember you saying the same thing.
Then, I thought we were all going to give me 20% of the first grant. I have a file in it.
Somehow, it got stuck in the sea.
After some time, we had to do our papers again. We received 2024 and 2025 OGEs, about a month ago. We found out that we had received money. So we changed that money. We haven't done anything. I know I didn't know what we were talking about. It went through this committee and accepted it. I have a file I need.
Yes. But I want to review it again. But yes, you have this. What about the other grant? Same thing. They are both the same. She did these things at the same time.
And what do you have before that? FW whatever it is. Oh, let's see.
What would it be? It was a road trip.
Was it not the things I did in school? There was something, but I don't remember what it was. We are not talking about your money here. They set up the barriers. They did a few jobs on the guard rail. Two of them. We got three of them. They ran about 1,53,200. That's it. Yes, yes. I thought they did three or four things. Okay. They were independent. They had no responsibility. Okay, okay.
This is here.
I have another file for safe streets.
It is very difficult to operate using federal grants and federal grants.
It was very difficult for me. But in the end, we got it.
We tried to ask for your money.
Kaapka was working at the same time. I didn't understand why he asked me about it. Yes. Yes. We helped him with the paperwork. Yes.
Okay. We got both of them. It's a lot of money to spend.
I wish it was all in Kadalas. It would have taken us about five miles. If you get this, even if the public opinion is negative, do you think I can do one part of this road and use the other part? Yes, that's the problem there. Because it's not like that. It's not good to do what you don't want to do.
But if you show that it's good and it's not necessary, you're throwing away something that you don't have to pay for. That's something we can use. Yes. What we don't have now. That's why he used it correctly. It will be a cost that can be made in terms of cost. Yes. Does it include roads?
In other words, the things related to bridges, roads, roads, and roads are almost the same.
I came here a month ago. I don't really know what we can do with the money. But they walk around and see their situation. From their situation, we will get a price. Most of them don't have to be relocated immediately. But there are some bridges that need to be relocated. It doesn't say that more than 20 feet long or more bridges will be inspected. There are even smaller rivers next to us. Look at the bogs. Oh, they are in a bad condition.
Most of them are made up of rubble. Instead of finding ways to find things that we can use. But they are being destroyed. Oh, because it rained a lot here a few years ago. When those pipes are filled, they experience a lot of depression.
Especially in concrete tiles, water flows to the side of the tile. These tiles are like bark-filled rock. Two small rock-crusher runs. There is a support in them. When the support comes, that stone will come back through the cracks and flow down. Next, as you know, there is a type. This is how a sinkhole is made. It is on top of a tile. We have many things in it. There is a hill which is slightly steep. So, there are a lot of places for us to travel. We tried to make an overpass. It's not that good. But we have a lot of bridges like that. So, that's what I need. We are here. They are putting more and more turning trucks on top of them.
And... They are beating them up. Highway 108 and 108 are being run by RO Crusher.
Mum, is this Rattoy's nest?
I mean, it's an open-air place with small trucks and Timsley's crusher. It actually operates in the prairie plains and other places in the county. They are now sending a lot of rocks to the prairie plains.
When we talk about roads, they make it easy to build 127 bridges. So it will create a problem in our county roads. They are trying to remove them from major roads like the Matta MLA. Local people. They will use it. The roads that go back. Yes. Yes. Rockdale. Rockdale and Osprey will play together. Yes. Do you know when you should know when we can do something or how much we can do something? Do you know when it will end? I have one year. If I haven't done anything in one year, I have a chance to get an extension.
Okay. But I can't. When? One year means when it will end.
One year is a time to make a plan to spend money. Okay, that is... I got a loan from the government.
Think about it.
It will be exactly $2,65,000. You can believe that. Yes, that's for sure.
That's why I'm talking to other people.
I have a question, Ven.
Okay.
So, when you get a grant, do you want to get 20% of what you promised to get? So, when you get money, do you get it or not? When we spend our money, we get 20%. So, do you know that when we get 20%, we don't have to give it immediately?
When we started to close the bills, I thought we should reach up to 20%. But if you want to get a grant, you have to get up to 20%.
This is just an excuse. We have a grant, and we have to pay for it to use the entire amount.
20%. If you don't get 20%, if I don't get 20%, I will have to somehow reduce it. Okay, it will be 20% more than what I use. Okay.
At that time, I think we thought it was a grand. I think I remember that we voted for one. But now you're saying there are two.
But that's good. I meant it. I have to do it. That's good. We found a way to spend it. I'm sure we can. I think we voted for a lot of people.
Ask me if I have a way to spend your money for you. Everyone does that. I have a question.
If you get a grant and start spending it, will it last for one year or two years? Will it last for more than two years?
If you get a job, you can sign it yourself.
I think we can get extensions on the basis of the project.
Okay. Don't take more than one in a month. Oh, okay. Then,
I was trying to give it within two years. No, it will happen very quickly. Yes, if we get it, if we go ahead and accept it. Another thing I didn't know, I may need Mariana's help in this. But, do we have to call Lelam for these things? Yes, we have to call Lelam for this. It creates another small confusion. So it will take a little time. Yes, it will take a month or three times. So if you get it, we will get one more. Then he will say no. You go with those two, right? Yes. Sometimes it will be difficult for you to get it.
If this is the only special thing. Yes.
Like an ambulance. Okay, I did it. Then you won't get it for a year. I think we agreed to help you. I'm just looking at it. If I do that, it's 53,000 for one of them. We agreed. If you sell those 53 items for two years, can you make it work? Are you sure you'll take it from your fund balance and give us money in two years? If that's the case, we're not going to take any action because we're going to be in Mon Bonro for 26,500 years. Does that make sense? I have a question. What if it doesn't have to be in his fund?
Okay, because it's your specialty. I have to find it.
Are you saying that we can't do it? Do we have to do it? His fund should have 20% of it. That's why we have to cover it. I'm just saying that Malsara should be in another fund.
It's better to do everything in another fund. So? You will have problems that Malsara can't pay. Yes, right. This fund. So you have to secure another fund. I think a small part of this is because of you.
When you use money, if you give only 20% of it, the state grants will operate. I think that's how it works.
You can't. Even if you stay elsewhere, we don't have the right to transfer money to your fund.
That's why we have to consider it as a special account.
Use a fund that is a role fund.
Because it will be a role project, right? We got another fund. It's good that everything is the same. But what I mean is that you have to change the match part.
Yes. No, I want to make it clear. Yes, yes.
I can do it. Yes, sir. Mr. Mayor. Okay. I think Benton knows that I have a problem with this. Because this is not noticeable. When we spend this money, we are not holding anything in our hands. This is not going to change a bridge. This is not going to change the asphalt. This is not going to change anything. That's the first number. Secondly, we are spending $1,600,000. In a budget we have agreed to so far, the bus budget is low. That's right. That's right. We spend the money that goes to companies that are not even in Coffey County. We do not care about our local economy at all. Oh, I think I'm joking. If you think our roads are using mobile phones and cameras to tell you where to fix them, I promise that some of our old road superiors will lie in their graves. We never needed it. He has been there for a long time to find out where the roads should be repaired.
I needed him until now. Yes. Anyway, we... I would like to see him get $1,600,000.
It's not a grand. Let him use it to do something right. That's what I see. This... There is a great need for a walking path, not just for our veterans. When one of our old veterans fell down while traveling, there have been many tests. That is, it is in Coffey County. It is in Coffey County. This has to be made of stone, so I'm working as Steve Simberman. We're talking about putting Manchester in it. You can't grow it yourself, can you? I can. You can do that. Okay. I want you to see what we need to build a hot-pave driveway in our VFW. Because I want to see the money spent on it. I don't want to see us. We have passed a budget that says we don't get the money we need to spend, so we are now subject to public investigation. Certainly, we know that. We have explained that there is a difference between low-budgeting and low-spending. We are trying to prevent it from becoming low-spending. If we reach a budget, we cannot continue accepting more expenses. Therefore, be careful. What I mean to say is that the whole board and the committee will be in your control, but I personally want to see the local government spending money on full-fledged items. That's how I feel about it. I don't want you to think about it. I know what I feel.
I know we have to go back and investigate. But I think we have already accepted 20% of it. First, the grant. But was it in a budget that was announced in the entire legislature?
I think so. But like I said, we have to go back and look. I don't know. Not that. Then you will have to accept the whole thing.
The only reason I went through all three stages was that if I did, I would lose it. I'm not saying I didn't say it. But I remember talking about it. Yes, I remember going back and looking. I know it's not tangible. But I think it's worth seeing things that you can't see far ahead and things that you can't see. I know everyone.
What can I say, Mom? Um, no one knows how much the money is now.
Roads now cost $1,50,000 per mile. As I said, if we can use it to make a living, we won't get this money here. We won't get it even for four miles. They are sitting. They are sitting here for $5,30,000. It will cost $1,00,000. I don't have $1,00,000. I really don't have the money. I can't. I can't. If this helps me make money in any way, I can decide it myself. Oh, but the $5,30,000 sitting here will cost $1,00,000. I'm looking for help to find money to use this money. Oh, this is something I can never do without that grant. Like Dennis said, I'm looking for roads. Now we're making calls. I haven't had to use this for 12 years, but it's new to me.
Will you use it? Will I use it? Of course! Okay, you are now in Shelton Town. How many Kalkeri Mix roads will it take?
I did two miles in Posampavu. There we put Kalkeri Mix. On top of that we did Thar Chippu. It was a road that was about 17 to 18 feet wide. It's like Chippu Seal roads because we don't like putting Chippu Seal in hot mix.
We don't do that. But... It was $79,000 for the materials. If you have to use the same materials in hot mix and CW mix as you do in county roads, it's not a great deal. Heat mix is the best. CW was $1,21,000. Then, the cost you pay on Shelton Town Road will be the same. That's the CW. The items I pay on Shelton Town Road are Kalkeri Mix and Chippu Seal. Okay. So, if you can earn 3 miles of Chippu and Seal in a year, that would be 1 lakh rupees. You can earn 100 rupees. Okay. You know, I don't want to ask you for help, but...
I want to go to a school. I want someone to look at my book and ask me if I can get any advice. I always stand up for you. I tell people that they and them, they are spending their own money.
They have other things to do. I say, friends, not even one percent of your own money is going to our highway. Even so, when you go to the gas pump, you are at a standstill at that time, but only the Formula God knows that it will return to the Tennessee state. There may be 100 gas stations in Coffey County, but they are using our money as these small counties with 10 gas stations. So he is protesting against it. That's why I want to see whether we are going to spend the money of the innocent. It should be the only thing we hold in our hands. Like Commissioner Morris said, like Radar said, like Ayalkar said, I don't know how it will happen. But I didn't go to my driveway. I have problems. I will get $1,00,000 for a 2-mile cold trip to Kalkeri Misrutham and a 2-mile char trip to the road.
But I don't mind if you build places that I don't want you to use or want to build. I don't want to buy it. I can't do it again, so I don't really need it. Yes. If I can give you that equipment, I'll scan it whenever I need it.
I'll get an idea of where to spend the money. Yes. You can't tell someone that you don't have a passport by scanning it. Yes. I know that door. I know it's there. It's... It's been there for two, three years now. I can use it. But how long will it take? How long will it take for you and your car to break down completely? If I get it, I think it will be worth the money. I just need to get one. I don't think it's worth it if you scan it for a year. As I said, $16,000 is a lot of money. It's not that big of a deal until you start working. Is this something you can wait for? We can wait until the next meeting.
Yes, yes, yes. I don't know how much time I have. But you must have more information about Apollo and that company. Yes. I'll call them back and they'll come. Okay.
We can book a demo.
That's it. My suggestion is, we can wait until the next meeting. Make it a promise. Oh, yes. Make a promise that we did well. Until the next meeting, stop it here and make a decision about it. Yes, I think it will be worth it.
As they pointed out, the county will not receive a lot. You will not receive money from the county until then. There may be more details.
What should we buy? What is their price? What do they want? Yes, I don't want it.
You need to get more details in the next meeting. Yes, right.
We agreed that we would give you time to think about it for a minute until September. I opposed everyone who agreed. Okay, next time I will have a better idea of what I can do next time. I hope I can know more about what I can do. Okay.
Hey, when I went to Benton, I wanted to talk to him about a few things. We had a problem with the chain that protected our animal control facility outside Lingveli. When the driveway was closed, people were pulling into the driveway. They turned around and went to our new walkway. Benton and his team went there and found one of the concrete slabs outside the house. They dug up the mud on the top, cut down a few trees, and made more parking and a turnaround point. So we want to thank Benton for helping us. Okay, I thank you for that, Dennis. We're trying. We can help everyone we can. We can't. To be honest, I want you to look at that driveway in the VFW building and tell me what you want to do to complete it. You know, when I first got to the office, I saw it. Scott St. John drew a little drawing on it. Before they get the money, they have to do a lot of dirty work. So I expect everyone to keep that in mind. There is no waste there. It is flowing. The dam is now below the driveway. It has to be cut down. And it has to be cut down properly. Because there is no way for the water to go like this. To stop it, it should be a really dirty job to remove the water from it. Steve Simber has given an answer to Roger. That is, we have a dollar bank. Kim has contacted me about this. What is the answer? What is the answer? I don't know. I think it's me. I don't know now.
We don't have to talk about it when we call Lelum. To be precise, yes. I am Nandi Ullavan on 24th September. Yes, I am Nandi Ullavan. I will make you stand in front of the school. I can do it. I am waiting for you. Yes, we can come here and come back. I am waiting for you to give me more details. I am Nandi Ullavan on what you are saying. Yes. Yes. That is a new thing. Is it a new thing for someone else? September 24th is that Sunday. The school board wants to conduct a demonstration in front of us of the new Hickerson School, the East Coffey's Kooticherkal, and their other architects. On that day, things began. Oh, yes, we got J Business. Forgive us. Okay, Mr. Itty. I would like to talk about the Jessarton water line to see where we are. I don't know if we can handle it because it's been going on for six years. It's a very long one. So what can we do tonight? Should we do anything? Or should we handle it? Should we do it or use it? I think where we are now. I was in HWR. Even now, I came here from 16th model to Karthi Ridge. That is, to go all the way through J Sardhan Road, I bought money for 4 in-pipeline. Many of us, as Mayor and everyone else, went in front of the Manchester Water Committee. They don't want to set up 4 in-water lines. They want to set up 6 in-water lines with all valves and loop systems. Yes. That project is about $30,000 less for us. I thought we only need $15. Okay, if Mr. McMahon makes a decision, what if he doesn't have a record? I don't know if they can count what they did. But if Mr. McMahon gives money to his part, they will allow him to pay taxes. Kenneth will pay a lot of money for this part of the Orange line from Carthy Ridge to Jessarton Road, and that will reduce the cost. Yes, but that's not written. Yes, this is something that was developed long ago in my time, but I've never heard of it in our conversation so far. Yes, we did. Yes, we took it to Manchester City, because it is closed. Most of the lines there are 4-inch water lines. Okay. The two that connect it are 6 inches. But most of the people living there are also 4-inch water lines. My road, Oak Hill Road, those roads are all 4-inch water lines. Some people think we are a unique creation. Twenty years ago, we threw a lot of grants at it. We got all kinds of USA, USDA grants. We bought a pipe. Manchester gave it to us. Oh, we also got a grant. It was a grant given to Water Tower Coffee County on Deep Land and Shepherd Road. Then we gave it to Manchester City. Anyway, we got it from them. We got a grant that day. Then we gave it to them. It became part of their water system. Oh, now we are on our way down the road, and there are five of us on this road. That's all. But we have given the plan a chance to make it happen, or at least we have given it a chance to make it happen. That's why I'm asking you not to create a monopoly.
Yes, but at the same time, this whole thing is driving me at the beginning of the whole thing.
Somewhere, this board has done something that we need to fulfill now. I feel that the ability of this body is in a state of emergency, and that we are unable to do anything about it, and that we are going backwards and backwards from fulfilling it. I don't like it when we say that we will fulfill the duty of a person or a body. Yes, but at the same time, we can make the effort to fulfill that duty. If anyone wants to increase the line by 2 inches, and if they want to make it a 6-inch line, they have to make a difference. But what's less is our responsibility as representatives. We are there. We are currently in that group, TOM. Now, Manian, the commissioner of Manchester County, was their representative. Okay. He and I agreed that it would be 4-5 inches of water supply. I think it is the double of what is actually needed.
Okay, but this is the answer they want to do. It would be equal to everyone else. You would be equal.
They expect to grow plants. It was not in that area. Have you ever been there? Yes, I have. I know what you are saying. Yes, okay, most of it is agricultural land. Yes, it will be agricultural land in the next 30 years. But we did what we said we were going to do. It's still there. It's ready. Yes, but we still have money to do 4 inches. Water line.
I think our part is over. The city has changed the goal line. Yes, the city has changed. Not us. Then the city has to make a difference. The city is not going to do that.
But the least we can do is fulfill our duty. But if it is necessary to build a 6-inch line, we have to do something. That's what they want. I'll tell you why it costs so much. Why do you have a 6-inch line on this side? You have a 6-inch line on this side. They have two different powers. That's why the valves can't be the same. Otherwise, everything will break. That's why it made the cost crazy. They told the CM County to pay for it. Then we brought in 15,000 more. That's not 15,000. That's 15,000. That's 15,000. I was in a meeting. That's how it is in Canada. If Kenneth is doing part of it, then we can talk about it if he makes it written. Okay, if we agree to it, then I can make it written. I don't agree. I don't agree.
I don't agree with anyone for more than 35 minutes until something is written from the side. Because everyone is talking there. They are not willing to give it. But we agree to the least.
Yes, that's what we did as a municipality. If they don't want to do it, we won't give it to them. But they won't do it. This is going to go on for a long time. We have to end it. That's all.
All the counties and municipalities feel that this is the reason for the flood. That's right. That's right. Villagers have to go back to all the water systems in the history of groundwater. If you use it, all expenses are very low according to the individual's opinion. We are talking about spending $7,500 or more on a house that should be given to someone else in the county. Other non-governmental organizations have a bet on their own money. This is more than a family expense. More than that. I think it's a good example that we've accepted it. Also, Manchester City needs a reason. It's not a trivial matter. But if we fulfill our duty, we'll fulfill it. We haven't changed. We haven't changed. It's still there.
Yes. That's why... Manchester has to bring it together. So, I would like to request a loan from Ken McMahon. If we pay the remaining Rs. 15,000, he will pay Rs. 15,000. For that, I will not say that a loan is required. Okay, okay. I want to do it by acting as a part of the body. Do that. I will make a loan of Rs.
15,000 that he will pay. Then we can bring another Rs. 15,000. How?
Then we may not be able to handle this well. Go forward. That is, if you want to do it, it will be right.
I don't think so. It's like you said. It's not a promise. If he goes and does it, it's enough. He can bring it. You will have something to do something. If you go, then you will have something. Continue, everyone will agree with the 15th principle. Continue, we can talk about it. Okay, we can say tonight.
That is, we can say here tonight. Yes, it feels good. I'll go and buy it tomorrow. Double Quote, Double Quote. I'll have to agree to what Manchester City wants in terms of taboos. Okay. Okay. The reason is Kenneth. I have to go and see Joey Hopes tomorrow. Okay. I'll take care of everything tomorrow.
Okay. You know that our growth problem and other things are causing a lot of trouble. Our planning commission has taken a lot of steps. Most counties are now saying this through REGA. Developers are saying this through REGA. Developers are saying this through REGA. Developers are saying this through REGA. Developers are saying this through REGA. Developers are saying this through REGA. Developers are saying this through REGA. Fire flow is required for the development of the properties there. It will be a 6-inch water line. We made a decision to use a 4-inch water line to help those people, but it costs a lot of money for the developers in Bavi. It is against the government to try to accept it as a private property. It can be seen everywhere that developers have to pay money for residential facilities. If you want to develop those properties, you need to build a 6-inch water line and the developers themselves have to pay for it, not the existing developers. That's why McMahan is going to build 15,000. Because, as Tim said, on both sides of the farm, the kids of McMahan will be on one side and the kids of the other on the other side. So it's not going to be developed. Their kids are going to be a homeowner there. Do you think that's what we're thinking?
I want them to need water. I think it's going to take a long time. Okay. I'll get a letter from Ken McMahon tomorrow. I'll get one from Joey. Okay. Then we can expect this to happen at the next meeting. Okay. The next meeting will be at 5 p.m. on September 24th. The first meeting of the school board is on September 24th. September 24th. Then the school board is going to conduct an announcement about their school. What are their needs? Do I have to ask them to do that?
In this case, are you asking for one or the other for the lower part or are you just asking? Do you think there will be a new board meeting where this announcement can be implemented? Do you think we can hear the same board meeting they held in September? Yes. I don't know.
Yes, I think we can see a new announcement together. Okay, if they leave, we can call them back. Yes, but I got her. I have promised Mr. Schultz that I will set her up in September. Can I ask if this was in front of their school board? Yes, their school, today's school board. Okay, is this the school board that was sent? Okay, they moved it today at 5 o'clock in the morning. They changed it. No, they are coming. No, it was just their budget differences. Okay. She is going to make an announcement to the developers, to the architects, to the engineers, to the engineers, to the engineers, to the engineers, to the engineers, to the engineers, to the engineers, to the engineers, to the engineers, to the engineers,
One thing that everyone needs to remember before that announcement is that they are doing this as a part of a plan that was carried out before our zoning changes in the rural areas. I don't think I know the company they used. I am sure they will share it with us. But I asked our director Harovin, do they think that residential development will be reduced by our new zoning regulations? He said, no, in fact, I don't know if they did that. But I will ask them. Then I hope they will get that answer. Also, as you said, we will lose 165 acres to take to the city. Yes, that's right. Those students, those children living in that area will go to the city.
Kikkelsen station is very important because it is completely surrounded by the urban development of the city.
So it can be attracted to their system. That's possible. Yes, build them a school. Yes, we will build a new school for him. They have already made an announcement. This will be the same.
This will be a comprehensive announcement about Hickerson. The reconstruction that will change one of them.
Very complete. It was a dream. September 24th, 5 o'clock. Exactly. Keep it away. I'm warning you. We're keeping it away. Is everything okay? I...
