1:34 – 2:11•JAJennifer Andress

City of Homewood, October 12th. We are going to start with our old business agenda and item 2307.26, request for consideration to limit locations on EV charging stations. Brought to us from Chief Broadhead without objection. We will carry this item over one more time and we will take this up in two weeks. Next item is 2208.26, a request to annex property at 1587 Mountain Gap Drive into Homewood, brought to us from Mr. Segrist. We were going to hear from a couple of staff members, Chief Broadhead and Conrad Garrison on this item.

13:50 – 14:01•JAJennifer Andress

Right, so to work in the city of Right Wing, you have to get approval from the city and then sign an indemnification agreement. We're fine to sign an indemnification agreement. It's usually done before the work is done.
