Just one question. When we bought the automated sanitation trucks the first time, was our plan to replace them sequentially or all at once?
So unlike things like fire trucks, we'll just do these one lump sum? Correct. Okay. Commissioner Root?
Okay, let's start with Commissioner Remp.
Thank you. Any questions or comments from the public? I'm assuming none online. Okay, thank you. I'll bring this back. I'm sorry, I just couldn't hear you.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
Thank you for your comments. Okay. Bring this back to the commissioners for any action.
Okay, it's been moved and seconded to adopt ordinance number 26-11302. I'm sorry, we need a roll call for this. Thank you.
Aye. That motion carries 4-0. Thank you. And we can move to 6.2.
All right. Thank you. Any questions or comments from the public? Seeing none online. Thank you. Any action to be taken from Fellow commissioners.
All right. It's been moved and seconded that we will again require a roll call.
Aye. That motion carries 4-0. Thank you. I just have one question for the city attorney. It has nothing to do with the motion. But under the four qualifications, I mean four possible actions that the commission could have taken, had there been two of us who had to recuse, what number would have been required to send this back?
Okay. Yeah. So it is something that could be figured out on the fly.
All right, thank you. We can move on to 6.3.
Any questions? None. Commissioner Lenkowitz, any questions?
Okay, thank you. Any questions, comments, concerns from the public? Okay, move it back to the commission for action.
They moved and seconded to approve the final plat of the Auburndale District Edition. And I'd have to get you to read. I lost my place in all these papers, but I don't know if you need me to read the whole thing or not. No. All right. All right. All in favor? All in favor? All in favor? Say aye. Say aye. Say aye. AYE. AYE. AYE. AYE. It wouldn't be any opposed. It wouldn't be any opposed. It wouldn't be any opposed. The motion carries 4-0. The motion carries 4-0. The motion carries 4-0. Thank you. Thank you.
What they were asking us okay I'll didn't matter I'll start any anything else Commissioner Davis I just have one thing I'm gonna partially reading today is October the 12th I just as background the term Native American as a designation is not used to refer to original inhabitants of some of our states and territories such as Hawaii, Alaska, or Guam because there was no concept of being an American before these lands were appropriated. Indeed, many sources refer to what we now call North America as Turtle Island before it was renamed. Similarly, on what we know as North and South America,…
that she's not actually presenting something for us to take immediate action on, but to discuss a type of plan or a project?
I don't think Commissioner Linkwitz is here.
I think if someone was bringing us a proposal for any other, well, I hate to use getting a homeless initiative going, but as an analogy, this would be for a slightly different purpose. At some point, we would listen to a proposal for, well, in fact, we did have a proposal, and I forget her name, but the director from Upstate Jersey or New York who came, not necessarily for us to vote on starting her program, but to let us know what was available, you know, with no obligation, but to see, you know, if there's something that we would want to do or if the program presented, you know, is already…
I'll talk to you later. That's a separate issue.
Over a like they say a 20-year period but that's also a discussion whether that's doable for some community so a lot of discussion about lead service line replacement yet and who's going to burn the cost yes so we do have I'm sorry go ahead well follow up to your question were you referring to potential federal government assistance for the public and private either or either yeah so the discussion was The federal government, is it looking at helping with the private side as well?
The part that he was referencing that I don't agree is that those of us who live here have to pay that same tax. And if you walk into a store and 10% of your money is gone before you even pick your item off the shelf, I think there's something psychological about breaking that 10% barrier. But I always thought water would be the perfect solution. use of property tax because it's, I mean, between fire, police, sewage, water, I mean, there are not many basic things that governments need to provide or take care of. But we're trying to get something for nothing. And these are 100-year-old pipes.…
Quick question. Off the top of your head, what's the financing cost for $120 million?
Yeah. The issue of non-dog, non-cat animals being picked up, it looked like that went kind of back and forth in this issue.
