| All right, so let's see here. | 00:00:34 | |
| Looks like we have everyone present but. | 00:00:39 | |
| Mayor Graham. | 00:00:41 | |
| So all right. | 00:00:43 | |
| First item on the agenda is going to be the approval. It's January 21st minutes. | 00:00:45 | |

| Dignity? OK, Same here. OK. And Mr. Hope. | 00:01:06 | |
| That's still. | 00:01:11 | |

| OK, approval of February claims. | 00:01:17 | |

| Were those already reviewed outside of the meeting? Yeah, those those were already reviewed. | 00:01:57 | |
| Okay. | 00:02:17 | |
| Thank you for that clarification. | 00:02:19 | |
| OK, any further discussion? | 00:02:22 | |
| So the Amazon claim was just normal. | 00:02:25 | |
| Office related items, right? | 00:02:29 | |
| Yeah, I'll make a motion to approve those 3. | 00:02:31 | |
| OK, I got a motion by Mr. Dickey and second by. | 00:02:37 | |
| All right. | 00:02:41 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:02:42 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:02:44 | |
| Aye, any post. | 00:02:47 | |
| All right. Curious. | 00:02:48 | |
| Approval of Resolution 2025-01. It's my understanding that we have a few new vendors that are added to the list and that's why | 00:02:51 | |
| they're seeking. | 00:02:55 | |
| The approval of the resolution. | 00:02:59 | |
| So it's my recollection that that was passed last month. | 00:03:02 | |
| Can we have one? | 00:03:07 | |
| That we had every month. OK. | 00:03:08 | |
| So then it should be the next resolution number. | 00:03:13 | |
| Should be on 02 then. | 00:03:17 | |
| OK. | 00:03:20 | |
| Unless you're doing, it will still be an amending resolution 02. | 00:03:21 | |
| OK, do we need to? | 00:03:29 | |
| Just just for the record, is the. | 00:03:31 | |
| Is the 2 Highway Press and designed by Dana. | 00:03:34 | |
| Yes. | 00:03:37 | |
| I'll make the motion. | 00:03:42 | |
| OK. | 00:03:43 | |
| Kind of motion by Mr. Dickey. Can I get a second? | 00:03:45 | |
| I'll second. | 00:03:47 | |
| So point of words that's. | 00:03:48 | |
| Approve as amended. | 00:03:51 | |
| Resolution 2025-02 Yes, Sir, that's correct. | 00:03:52 | |
| All right. | 00:03:56 | |
| Mr. Hope. | 00:03:59 | |
| All right, got a motion in a second. Is there any further discussion? | 00:04:01 | |
| All right, all in favor for signify by saying aye. | 00:04:05 | |
| Any opposed? | 00:04:08 | |
| That carries. | 00:04:09 | |
| Directors report. | 00:04:11 | |
| Good evening. | 00:04:15 | |
| A lot to talk about tonight. | 00:04:16 | |
| Including the weather. | 00:04:20 | |
| You know that. | 00:04:21 | |
| A rough month. | 00:04:23 | |
| They're keeping things open but we've managed to stay open, although we've got four days. | 00:04:26 | |
| So I'll just start with the top marketing communications. | 00:04:31 | |
| Our viewership is above average right now. | 00:04:37 | |
| So that's good. | 00:04:39 | |
| You know, we have detached alerts that go out to the. | 00:04:41 | |
| Neighborhoods. | 00:04:43 | |
| Along with we're using. | 00:04:45 | |
| Facebook and Instagram, which has been. | 00:04:48 | |
| Pretty successful. Not everyone is on Instagram but. | 00:04:51 | |
| We feel like we're. | 00:04:54 | |
| Or touching people that. | 00:04:55 | |
| That may not be on Facebook and so forth, so we're just trying to hit as many. | 00:04:57 | |
| Social medias as we can. | 00:05:01 | |
| The group on a positive note. | 00:05:04 | |
| The team has been. | 00:05:06 | |
| Utilizing the Jeffersonville library. | 00:05:08 | |
| Makerspace. | 00:05:11 | |
| To uh. | 00:05:12 | |
| Make decals. | 00:05:13 | |
| And signage that we. | 00:05:15 | |
| Have desperately needed for the annex. | 00:05:17 | |
| In both Greenville. | 00:05:19 | |
| This includes. | 00:05:23 | |
| An issue that we're trying to address with people. | 00:05:25 | |
| Dumping on days that were closed. You've had a big issue in Greenville with. | 00:05:28 | |
| People leaving their cardboard and. | 00:05:34 | |
| Also with people. | 00:05:36 | |
| Breaking into our dumpsters. | 00:05:38 | |
| In putting trash in our dumpsters. | 00:05:40 | |
| Not. | 00:05:43 | |
| Recycle related. | 00:05:44 | |
| So I've reached out to Steve Bush. | 00:05:47 | |
| On how to. | 00:05:49 | |
| Control this better. | 00:05:51 | |
| But we did not have signage up there. | 00:05:54 | |
| So we do now. | 00:05:56 | |
| And we'll be putting more signage. | 00:05:57 | |
| Up in the future. | 00:06:00 | |
| So did did you happen to request any extra patrols up there? | 00:06:02 | |
| You know, for the sheriff, we haven't yet, but once I let him know that we have the signage. | 00:06:07 | |
| We do have a library that's next door, so we actually have a video of this. | 00:06:11 | |
| This happened, OK, right. We, we know who's doing this, sure. But again, until we have the signage up there saying it's illegal to | 00:06:15 | |
| do this. | 00:06:20 | |
| It's kind of hard to. | 00:06:24 | |
| To do anything about it right? | 00:06:26 | |
| OK. So thank you. | 00:06:28 | |
| Operation initiatives. | 00:06:31 | |
| January has been a very busy month. | 00:06:34 | |
| We've increased our count. | 00:06:37 | |
| You know, year to date. | 00:06:39 | |
| We also. | 00:06:42 | |
| Galena, we've had some record. | 00:06:43 | |
| Days we had one. | 00:06:45 | |
| Wednesday where we had 474 patrons. | 00:06:47 | |
| Come through there and I was up there that day. | 00:06:50 | |
| It was back-to-back. I mean cars backed all the way up. | 00:06:53 | |
| Through the library parking lot, so. | 00:06:56 | |
| Extremely busy right now. | 00:06:58 | |
| We've had some weather related closures. | 00:07:02 | |
| January the 7th through the 10th. | 00:07:06 | |
| We were closed in January 21st and 22nd. | 00:07:08 | |
| And I know that conversation with you. | 00:07:13 | |
| Jason, that the next two days we may be closed just because of the. | 00:07:15 | |
| Cold temperatures and because our people have to be outside so much. | 00:07:19 | |
| So. | 00:07:23 | |
| Also, we've been dealing with the. | 00:07:25 | |
| People being out sick. | 00:07:27 | |
| So it's been a challenge to keep our. | 00:07:28 | |
| Our roster full. | 00:07:31 | |
| With all that going on also. | 00:07:33 | |
| Equipment and building overview. | 00:07:38 | |
| So here today, you know, we continue to. | 00:07:40 | |
| Bail cardboard and I really can't say enough about our team and how they. | 00:07:43 | |
| Jumped on this. | 00:07:48 | |
| And you know, we, we shipped out 26. | 00:07:50 | |
| 28 more bells this morning. | 00:07:53 | |
| So it's 56 miles. | 00:07:55 | |
| For year to date. | 00:07:58 | |
| And right now? | 00:08:00 | |
| This is pretty impressive. We're pretty much bailing. | 00:08:01 | |
| 100% of the cardboard. | 00:08:03 | |
| That comes into. | 00:08:05 | |
| Our grant line location. | 00:08:06 | |
| And we do try to build the cardboard that comes in through Lena also. | 00:08:08 | |
| So very little of our cardboard is being shipped loose now. | 00:08:13 | |
| Which is good for everybody. | 00:08:16 | |
| Couple things that we're pursuing. | 00:08:20 | |
| As improvements. | 00:08:22 | |
| I know at one time we talked about the. | 00:08:24 | |
| Our fire hybrid. | 00:08:27 | |
| That's at the annex. | 00:08:30 | |
| That is non working. | 00:08:31 | |
| Apparently there was a water leak several years ago. | 00:08:33 | |
| And at that time, they did not. | 00:08:36 | |
| Fix the leak. | 00:08:39 | |
| We just shut the water off to the whole. | 00:08:40 | |
| Building up. | 00:08:43 | |
| Up on the hill. | 00:08:44 | |
| I'm kind of I'm talking with American Water. | 00:08:46 | |
| Right now to try to see what it would take to get that. | 00:08:49 | |
| Fire hydrant back up and running. | 00:08:52 | |
| I think we would we. | 00:08:55 | |
| It's something that we should have up there. | 00:08:57 | |
| Because it sits right beside our chemical building. | 00:08:59 | |
| You know we have cardboard stacked up there now. | 00:09:01 | |
| So if we ever had a fire. | 00:09:05 | |
| You know they would have to come all the way from the road. | 00:09:08 | |
| Is it currently marked out of service or painted black? | 00:09:10 | |
| It is Mark Addison service OK. | 00:09:14 | |
| Where is where? Which location is that? | 00:09:16 | |
| This is at the ground line Rd. | 00:09:18 | |
| Location. | 00:09:20 | |
| OK, it's all the way back at the. | 00:09:21 | |
| Garage building, right? It's like, yeah, if you come all the way up the driveway. | 00:09:24 | |
| You'll see there's a garage straight ahead that you see our chemical building beside that. | 00:09:28 | |
| In the fire hydrant is right there. | 00:09:33 | |
| Are they, are they asserting that that is? | 00:09:37 | |
| Our responsibility or. | 00:09:40 | |
| Their responsibility. | 00:09:43 | |
| I don't. I've only talked to American Water once, so I'm still trying. | 00:09:45 | |
| Figure that out. | 00:09:48 | |
| Yeah, we know. | 00:09:49 | |
| Kind of where the league is at. | 00:09:52 | |
| Where it was turned off at. | 00:09:55 | |
| That's really all I know. | 00:09:56 | |
| That was waiting for my time. | 00:09:57 | |
| So we're also pursuing. | 00:09:59 | |
| Trying to widen the doors on our Baylor building. | 00:10:02 | |
| To accommodate us being able to back. | 00:10:05 | |
| Our trailers in without. | 00:10:07 | |
| Depression against the sides, you know, we have 8 foot trailers in the doors, like 8 foot 4 inches, so there's not much room to | 00:10:09 | |
| get in. | 00:10:13 | |
| So I think we can do that. | 00:10:17 | |
| Fairly cost effective. | 00:10:19 | |
| So that's another. | 00:10:22 | |
| Improvement we're looking at. | 00:10:23 | |
| Let's see. | 00:10:26 | |
| And we continue to monitor our. | 00:10:28 | |
| Aging fleet of vehicles you know right now. | 00:10:31 | |
| I have trucks ever. | 00:10:34 | |
| Pushing 110,000 miles. | 00:10:35 | |
| So it makes it challenging with them. | 00:10:37 | |
| The budget that we have for maintenance, I think it's about $2000 a month. | 00:10:40 | |
| You know 1 repair. | 00:10:44 | |
| We'll take that up. | 00:10:46 | |
| So you know. | 00:10:48 | |
| Again. | 00:10:49 | |
| That's going forward. You know, maybe in a year or so we can start looking. | 00:10:51 | |
| OK, so. | 00:10:57 | |
| Education. | 00:11:00 | |
| Due to the weather for. | 00:11:03 | |
| Education. | 00:11:04 | |
| We didn't get to do a lot of. | 00:11:07 | |
| Business to the schools. | 00:11:08 | |
| So hopefully. | 00:11:09 | |
| That picks up once the weather cruise. | 00:11:10 | |
| Special projects. | 00:11:16 | |
| See, we continue to work with hope. | 00:11:19 | |
| The partnership with Hope and that has been. | 00:11:22 | |
| Pretty positive we. | 00:11:25 | |
| Usually every Friday will take. | 00:11:27 | |
| Are you know what? We've collected the hope. | 00:11:30 | |
| Down to them, and they've also. | 00:11:33 | |
| Started doing a single string program. | 00:11:35 | |
| Where they I'll take. | 00:11:38 | |
| The food to them then will pick up their single stream and bring it back. | 00:11:41 | |
| And put it in our. | 00:11:45 | |
| In our container, so it's kind of. | 00:11:46 | |
| Partnership there. | 00:11:48 | |
| We also for 25. | 00:11:50 | |
| Since we have a lot of patrons that come into glean us. | 00:11:52 | |
| That bring their animals. | 00:11:55 | |
| You know, that's kind of a. | 00:11:57 | |
| I guess a community. | 00:11:59 | |
| Thing we have. | 00:12:01 | |
| Are trying to develop a. | 00:12:03 | |
| 2025 dog calendar. | 00:12:05 | |
| Which features some of those animals. | 00:12:07 | |
| And those will will give to those patrons just kind of, you know, keeping the community involved. | 00:12:09 | |
| The Waste Tire grant. | 00:12:15 | |
| It's in progress. We are on the list. | 00:12:18 | |
| Of approval. We're just trying to finalize all the paperwork for that. | 00:12:20 | |
| Also been talking with the. | 00:12:26 | |
| Northside Christian Church. | 00:12:27 | |
| About pursuing a partners partnership. | 00:12:29 | |
| In the with their recycling there. | 00:12:32 | |
| We have Ace Hardware, we just dropped a trailer there. | 00:12:36 | |
| So we're now. | 00:12:39 | |
| Partnering with them in. | 00:12:40 | |
| We're bailing that cardboard when it comes back to the hanging. | 00:12:43 | |
| So that's pretty much all of the operations and so forth. | 00:12:47 | |
| The budget troops is next. | 00:12:51 | |
| I'm gonna let Marin Kernan. | 00:12:54 | |
| Go over those with you. | 00:12:55 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 00:12:57 | |
| All right, If you guys don't have any further questions for Dave, I'm just going to jump right ahead to the 2024 year end | 00:13:03 | |
| financials. | 00:13:06 | |
| With everybody, these are the trips that were voted on electronically. | 00:13:10 | |
| I think this is the third month of us attempting these so. | 00:13:15 | |
| These are what we were able to. | 00:13:18 | |
| Finalize with our controller at Monroe Shine. | 00:13:20 | |
| So. | 00:13:23 | |
| For the start, operators was over budget by 4. | 00:13:24 | |
| 524 dollars. | 00:13:28 | |
| That was pulled from recycling services. | 00:13:30 | |
| Operating Manager. | 00:13:32 | |
| By 1159 from the second services. | 00:13:34 | |
| Director over by 6437. | 00:13:38 | |
| Pull from advertising. | 00:13:41 | |
| Office supplies over 1231 dollars pulled from recycling services. | 00:13:43 | |
| Gasoline was over by 2133, pulled from recycling services. | 00:13:48 | |
| River Link was over by $90.00, pulled from postage. | 00:13:54 | |
| All insurance was opened by $1119 that was pulled from recycling services. | 00:13:57 | |
| Dues and services was over by $175 that was pulled through recycling services. | 00:14:03 | |
| Controller was over by 1200. | 00:14:10 | |
| Dollars that was pulled from marketing and communications. | 00:14:13 | |
| And imagine Grant was over by. | 00:14:16 | |
| 59,616 That is offset by the grant income, but since we couldn't pull back from income, we had to pull from equipment building per | 00:14:18 | |
| health recycling services and transporter. | 00:14:24 | |
| OK, I got a question. | 00:14:32 | |
| So all these expenses were over budget, is that correct? | 00:14:35 | |
| They were over budget for the line item that they were a part of, so they were over budget in that specific. | 00:14:40 | |
| However, for the entire budget we were under by I believe, 16,000. | 00:14:46 | |
| So. | 00:14:51 | |
| Still goes to. | 00:14:52 | |
| The average citizen out here is going to say, Oh my gosh. | 00:14:54 | |
| You were over budget by $60,000 on one thing even though we had the money over here. | 00:14:59 | |
| That shows that. | 00:15:06 | |
| To me it shows that we didn't budget correctly. | 00:15:10 | |
| So that was. | 00:15:13 | |
| Whenever Scott had made the budget, that was before we were accepted for the grant, so that money that went into the matching | 00:15:16 | |
| grant line item had to be added afterwards. | 00:15:20 | |
| So we had somewhere to put the money that we spent on the grant before we got reimbursed. | 00:15:25 | |
| So did you have to root so? | 00:15:31 | |
| The grant covered. | 00:15:33 | |
| All this, but did you have to resubmit a budget for the grant? | 00:15:34 | |
| Or just fixed. There was. We had to fix it, which is what we're doing. | 00:15:38 | |
| Right now, yeah. There was never, Frank. There was never a budget amendment. | 00:15:41 | |
| To the original budget taking into the grant. So that's why then because of where it came in now we're forced to do the true up as | 00:15:45 | |
| opposed to a regular budget amendment. Gotcha. That OK, that explains it. | 00:15:51 | |
| I was wondering if there was an amended grant amount? | 00:15:58 | |
| In there, OK. | 00:16:03 | |
| Thank you. Then of course it took a little while to extrapolate this from row shot. | 00:16:04 | |
| Yeah. | 00:16:09 | |
| Controller, but we were able to, yeah. | 00:16:10 | |
| See if I have any questions. Further questions. Not anymore. | 00:16:18 | |
| All right. So we're going to have to approve these, so I'll seek a motion to approve. | 00:16:21 | |
| Make motion to approve as submitted. | 00:16:29 | |
| Tonight's summary. | 00:16:34 | |
| OK, so you have a motion. | 00:16:37 | |
| And a second by Dale. | 00:16:39 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:16:42 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:16:45 | |
| It carries. Thank you. | 00:16:49 | |
| Thank you. | 00:16:51 | |
| I just want to add this. | 00:17:00 | |
| Obviously as we're going through the year. | 00:17:03 | |
| If we see like we're going to be. | 00:17:06 | |
| Short. | 00:17:08 | |
| Based on projections. | 00:17:12 | |
| Let's flag that, you know, at the midway point or at the two third. | 00:17:14 | |
| 2/3 point. | 00:17:18 | |
| Because I do think to Franks bigger point if. | 00:17:19 | |
| We can make these adjustments before. | 00:17:23 | |
| It would look, I think, better for the public. | 00:17:26 | |
| All right, well we are be able to have a picture now. | 00:17:29 | |
| What this year is going to look like, right? | 00:17:33 | |
| Now that we know what last year looked like. | 00:17:36 | |
| We should be better. | 00:17:39 | |
| Pretty close. The budget that was approved is just a projection of what? | 00:17:40 | |
| We had last year and what we will spend this year. | 00:17:46 | |
| I mean, there's still some unknowns. | 00:17:49 | |
| Sure, you're always going to have some unknowns and some adjustments, but. | 00:17:52 | |
| The budget that that you submitted last year? | 00:17:55 | |
| Did it include these overages? | 00:18:00 | |
| Or is it still going to be short 25? | 00:18:03 | |
| No, it should not be short in 20 minutes. | 00:18:06 | |
| So it did include these over. | 00:18:09 | |
| So the budget that was submitted for 25. | 00:18:11 | |
| Should have included these numbers, correct? | 00:18:16 | |
| With the grants, the grants is what kind of throws us off of that. | 00:18:20 | |
| Because a lot of those are 5050, we have to. | 00:18:24 | |
| Put the money forward before we get the money back. | 00:18:27 | |
| And sometimes it takes. | 00:18:29 | |
| Time for that to happen. | 00:18:31 | |
| I'm familiar with grants, yeah. | 00:18:34 | |
| So we should be in line for 20. | 00:18:38 | |
| OK, If there's anything that comes up that we see that we're. | 00:18:40 | |
| Maybe potentially going over we will. | 00:18:44 | |
| Alert Board. | 00:18:46 | |
| Yeah. | 00:18:48 | |
| All right. Any further questions for Dave? | 00:18:51 | |
| Thank you. | 00:18:53 | |
| Thanks, Dave. We appreciate you. | 00:18:54 | |
| Public comment. | 00:18:57 | |
| All right, seeing none, I'll take a motion to adjourn. | 00:19:00 | |
| Have a great day everybody. | 00:19:04 | |
| Thank you. | 00:19:06 | |
| Al and then Dale. | 00:19:10 | |
| Yeah. | 00:19:17 |

| Aye, any post. | 00:02:47 | |
| All right. Curious. | 00:02:48 | |
| Approval of Resolution 2025-01. It's my understanding that we have a few new vendors that are added to the list and that's why | 00:02:51 | |
| they're seeking. | 00:02:55 | |
| The approval of the resolution. | 00:02:59 | |
| So it's my recollection that that was passed last month. | 00:03:02 | |
| Can we have one? | 00:03:07 | |
| That we had every month. OK. | 00:03:08 | |
| So then it should be the next resolution number. | 00:03:13 | |
| Should be on 02 then. | 00:03:17 | |
| OK. | 00:03:20 | |
| Unless you're doing, it will still be an amending resolution 02. | 00:03:21 | |
| OK, do we need to? | 00:03:29 | |
| Just just for the record, is the. | 00:03:31 | |
| Is the 2 Highway Press and designed by Dana. | 00:03:34 | |
| Yes. | 00:03:37 | |
| I'll make the motion. | 00:03:42 | |
| OK. | 00:03:43 | |
| Kind of motion by Mr. Dickey. Can I get a second? | 00:03:45 | |
| I'll second. | 00:03:47 | |
| So point of words that's. | 00:03:48 | |
| Approve as amended. | 00:03:51 | |
| Resolution 2025-02 Yes, Sir, that's correct. | 00:03:52 | |
| All right. | 00:03:56 | |
| Mr. Hope. | 00:03:59 | |
| All right, got a motion in a second. Is there any further discussion? | 00:04:01 | |
| All right, all in favor for signify by saying aye. | 00:04:05 | |
| Any opposed? | 00:04:08 | |
| That carries. | 00:04:09 | |
| Directors report. | 00:04:11 | |
| Good evening. | 00:04:15 | |
| A lot to talk about tonight. | 00:04:16 | |
| Including the weather. | 00:04:20 | |
| You know that. | 00:04:21 | |
| A rough month. | 00:04:23 | |
| They're keeping things open but we've managed to stay open, although we've got four days. | 00:04:26 | |
| So I'll just start with the top marketing communications. | 00:04:31 | |
| Our viewership is above average right now. | 00:04:37 | |
| So that's good. | 00:04:39 | |
| You know, we have detached alerts that go out to the. | 00:04:41 | |
| Neighborhoods. | 00:04:43 | |
| Along with we're using. | 00:04:45 | |
| Facebook and Instagram, which has been. | 00:04:48 | |
| Pretty successful. Not everyone is on Instagram but. | 00:04:51 | |
| We feel like we're. | 00:04:54 | |
| Or touching people that. | 00:04:55 | |
| That may not be on Facebook and so forth, so we're just trying to hit as many. | 00:04:57 | |
| Social medias as we can. | 00:05:01 | |
| The group on a positive note. | 00:05:04 | |
| The team has been. | 00:05:06 | |
| Utilizing the Jeffersonville library. | 00:05:08 | |
| Makerspace. | 00:05:11 | |
| To uh. | 00:05:12 | |
| Make decals. | 00:05:13 | |
| And signage that we. | 00:05:15 | |
| Have desperately needed for the annex. | 00:05:17 | |
| In both Greenville. | 00:05:19 | |
| This includes. | 00:05:23 | |
| An issue that we're trying to address with people. | 00:05:25 | |
| Dumping on days that were closed. You've had a big issue in Greenville with. | 00:05:28 | |
| People leaving their cardboard and. | 00:05:34 | |
| Also with people. | 00:05:36 | |
| Breaking into our dumpsters. | 00:05:38 | |
| In putting trash in our dumpsters. | 00:05:40 | |
| Not. | 00:05:43 | |
| Recycle related. | 00:05:44 | |
| So I've reached out to Steve Bush. | 00:05:47 | |
| On how to. | 00:05:49 | |
| Control this better. | 00:05:51 | |
| But we did not have signage up there. | 00:05:54 | |
| So we do now. | 00:05:56 | |
| And we'll be putting more signage. | 00:05:57 | |
| Up in the future. | 00:06:00 | |
| So did did you happen to request any extra patrols up there? | 00:06:02 | |
| You know, for the sheriff, we haven't yet, but once I let him know that we have the signage. | 00:06:07 | |
| We do have a library that's next door, so we actually have a video of this. | 00:06:11 | |
| This happened, OK, right. We, we know who's doing this, sure. But again, until we have the signage up there saying it's illegal to | 00:06:15 | |
| do this. | 00:06:20 | |
| It's kind of hard to. | 00:06:24 | |
| To do anything about it right? | 00:06:26 | |
| OK. So thank you. | 00:06:28 | |
| Operation initiatives. | 00:06:31 | |
| January has been a very busy month. | 00:06:34 | |
| We've increased our count. | 00:06:37 | |
| You know, year to date. | 00:06:39 | |
| We also. | 00:06:42 | |
| Galena, we've had some record. | 00:06:43 | |
| Days we had one. | 00:06:45 | |
| Wednesday where we had 474 patrons. | 00:06:47 | |
| Come through there and I was up there that day. | 00:06:50 | |
| It was back-to-back. I mean cars backed all the way up. | 00:06:53 | |
| Through the library parking lot, so. | 00:06:56 | |
| Extremely busy right now. | 00:06:58 | |
| We've had some weather related closures. | 00:07:02 | |
| January the 7th through the 10th. | 00:07:06 | |
| We were closed in January 21st and 22nd. | 00:07:08 | |
| And I know that conversation with you. | 00:07:13 | |
| Jason, that the next two days we may be closed just because of the. | 00:07:15 | |
| Cold temperatures and because our people have to be outside so much. | 00:07:19 | |
| So. | 00:07:23 | |
| Also, we've been dealing with the. | 00:07:25 | |
| People being out sick. | 00:07:27 | |
| So it's been a challenge to keep our. | 00:07:28 | |
| Our roster full. | 00:07:31 | |
| With all that going on also. | 00:07:33 | |
| Equipment and building overview. | 00:07:38 | |
| So here today, you know, we continue to. | 00:07:40 | |
| Bail cardboard and I really can't say enough about our team and how they. | 00:07:43 | |
| Jumped on this. | 00:07:48 | |
| And you know, we, we shipped out 26. | 00:07:50 | |
| 28 more bells this morning. | 00:07:53 | |
| So it's 56 miles. | 00:07:55 | |
| For year to date. | 00:07:58 | |
| And right now? | 00:08:00 | |
| This is pretty impressive. We're pretty much bailing. | 00:08:01 | |
| 100% of the cardboard. | 00:08:03 | |
| That comes into. | 00:08:05 | |
| Our grant line location. | 00:08:06 | |
| And we do try to build the cardboard that comes in through Lena also. | 00:08:08 | |
| So very little of our cardboard is being shipped loose now. | 00:08:13 | |
| Which is good for everybody. | 00:08:16 | |
| Couple things that we're pursuing. | 00:08:20 | |
| As improvements. | 00:08:22 | |
| I know at one time we talked about the. | 00:08:24 | |
| Our fire hybrid. | 00:08:27 | |
| That's at the annex. | 00:08:30 | |
| That is non working. | 00:08:31 | |
| Apparently there was a water leak several years ago. | 00:08:33 | |
| And at that time, they did not. | 00:08:36 | |
| Fix the leak. | 00:08:39 | |
| We just shut the water off to the whole. | 00:08:40 | |
| Building up. | 00:08:43 | |
| Up on the hill. | 00:08:44 | |
| I'm kind of I'm talking with American Water. | 00:08:46 | |
| Right now to try to see what it would take to get that. | 00:08:49 | |
| Fire hydrant back up and running. | 00:08:52 | |
| I think we would we. | 00:08:55 | |
| It's something that we should have up there. | 00:08:57 | |
| Because it sits right beside our chemical building. | 00:08:59 | |
| You know we have cardboard stacked up there now. | 00:09:01 | |
| So if we ever had a fire. | 00:09:05 | |
| You know they would have to come all the way from the road. | 00:09:08 | |
| Is it currently marked out of service or painted black? | 00:09:10 | |
| It is Mark Addison service OK. | 00:09:14 | |
| Where is where? Which location is that? | 00:09:16 | |
| This is at the ground line Rd. | 00:09:18 | |
| Location. | 00:09:20 | |
| OK, it's all the way back at the. | 00:09:21 | |
| Garage building, right? It's like, yeah, if you come all the way up the driveway. | 00:09:24 | |
| You'll see there's a garage straight ahead that you see our chemical building beside that. | 00:09:28 | |
| In the fire hydrant is right there. | 00:09:33 | |
| Are they, are they asserting that that is? | 00:09:37 | |
| Our responsibility or. | 00:09:40 | |
| Their responsibility. | 00:09:43 | |
| I don't. I've only talked to American Water once, so I'm still trying. | 00:09:45 | |
| Figure that out. | 00:09:48 | |
| Yeah, we know. | 00:09:49 | |
| Kind of where the league is at. | 00:09:52 | |
| Where it was turned off at. | 00:09:55 | |
| That's really all I know. | 00:09:56 | |
| That was waiting for my time. | 00:09:57 | |
| So we're also pursuing. | 00:09:59 | |
| Trying to widen the doors on our Baylor building. | 00:10:02 | |
| To accommodate us being able to back. | 00:10:05 | |
| Our trailers in without. | 00:10:07 | |
| Depression against the sides, you know, we have 8 foot trailers in the doors, like 8 foot 4 inches, so there's not much room to | 00:10:09 | |
| get in. | 00:10:13 | |
| So I think we can do that. | 00:10:17 | |
| Fairly cost effective. | 00:10:19 | |
| So that's another. | 00:10:22 | |
| Improvement we're looking at. | 00:10:23 | |
| Let's see. | 00:10:26 | |
| And we continue to monitor our. | 00:10:28 | |
| Aging fleet of vehicles you know right now. | 00:10:31 | |
| I have trucks ever. | 00:10:34 | |
| Pushing 110,000 miles. | 00:10:35 | |
| So it makes it challenging with them. | 00:10:37 | |
| The budget that we have for maintenance, I think it's about $2000 a month. | 00:10:40 | |
| You know 1 repair. | 00:10:44 | |
| We'll take that up. | 00:10:46 | |
| So you know. | 00:10:48 | |
| Again. | 00:10:49 | |
| That's going forward. You know, maybe in a year or so we can start looking. | 00:10:51 | |
| OK, so. | 00:10:57 | |
| Education. | 00:11:00 | |
| Due to the weather for. | 00:11:03 | |
| Education. | 00:11:04 | |
| We didn't get to do a lot of. | 00:11:07 | |
| Business to the schools. | 00:11:08 | |
| So hopefully. | 00:11:09 | |
| That picks up once the weather cruise. | 00:11:10 | |
| Special projects. | 00:11:16 | |
| See, we continue to work with hope. | 00:11:19 | |
| The partnership with Hope and that has been. | 00:11:22 | |
| Pretty positive we. | 00:11:25 | |
| Usually every Friday will take. | 00:11:27 | |
| Are you know what? We've collected the hope. | 00:11:30 | |
| Down to them, and they've also. | 00:11:33 | |
| Started doing a single string program. | 00:11:35 | |
| Where they I'll take. | 00:11:38 | |
| The food to them then will pick up their single stream and bring it back. | 00:11:41 | |
| And put it in our. | 00:11:45 | |
| In our container, so it's kind of. | 00:11:46 | |
| Partnership there. | 00:11:48 | |
| We also for 25. | 00:11:50 | |
| Since we have a lot of patrons that come into glean us. | 00:11:52 | |
| That bring their animals. | 00:11:55 | |
| You know, that's kind of a. | 00:11:57 | |
| I guess a community. | 00:11:59 | |
| Thing we have. | 00:12:01 | |
| Are trying to develop a. | 00:12:03 | |
| 2025 dog calendar. | 00:12:05 | |
| Which features some of those animals. | 00:12:07 | |
| And those will will give to those patrons just kind of, you know, keeping the community involved. | 00:12:09 | |
| The Waste Tire grant. | 00:12:15 | |
| It's in progress. We are on the list. | 00:12:18 | |
| Of approval. We're just trying to finalize all the paperwork for that. | 00:12:20 | |
| Also been talking with the. | 00:12:26 | |
| Northside Christian Church. | 00:12:27 | |
| About pursuing a partners partnership. | 00:12:29 | |
| In the with their recycling there. | 00:12:32 | |
| We have Ace Hardware, we just dropped a trailer there. | 00:12:36 | |
| So we're now. | 00:12:39 | |
| Partnering with them in. | 00:12:40 | |
| We're bailing that cardboard when it comes back to the hanging. | 00:12:43 | |
| So that's pretty much all of the operations and so forth. | 00:12:47 | |
| The budget troops is next. | 00:12:51 | |
| I'm gonna let Marin Kernan. | 00:12:54 | |
| Go over those with you. | 00:12:55 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 00:12:57 | |
| All right, If you guys don't have any further questions for Dave, I'm just going to jump right ahead to the 2024 year end | 00:13:03 | |
| financials. | 00:13:06 | |
| With everybody, these are the trips that were voted on electronically. | 00:13:10 | |
| I think this is the third month of us attempting these so. | 00:13:15 | |
| These are what we were able to. | 00:13:18 | |
| Finalize with our controller at Monroe Shine. | 00:13:20 | |
| So. | 00:13:23 | |
| For the start, operators was over budget by 4. | 00:13:24 | |
| 524 dollars. | 00:13:28 | |
| That was pulled from recycling services. | 00:13:30 | |
| Operating Manager. | 00:13:32 | |
| By 1159 from the second services. | 00:13:34 | |
| Director over by 6437. | 00:13:38 | |
| Pull from advertising. | 00:13:41 | |
| Office supplies over 1231 dollars pulled from recycling services. | 00:13:43 | |
| Gasoline was over by 2133, pulled from recycling services. | 00:13:48 | |
| River Link was over by $90.00, pulled from postage. | 00:13:54 | |
| All insurance was opened by $1119 that was pulled from recycling services. | 00:13:57 | |
| Dues and services was over by $175 that was pulled through recycling services. | 00:14:03 | |
| Controller was over by 1200. | 00:14:10 | |
| Dollars that was pulled from marketing and communications. | 00:14:13 | |
| And imagine Grant was over by. | 00:14:16 | |
| 59,616 That is offset by the grant income, but since we couldn't pull back from income, we had to pull from equipment building per | 00:14:18 | |
| health recycling services and transporter. | 00:14:24 | |
| OK, I got a question. | 00:14:32 | |
| So all these expenses were over budget, is that correct? | 00:14:35 | |
| They were over budget for the line item that they were a part of, so they were over budget in that specific. | 00:14:40 | |
| However, for the entire budget we were under by I believe, 16,000. | 00:14:46 | |
| So. | 00:14:51 | |
| Still goes to. | 00:14:52 | |
| The average citizen out here is going to say, Oh my gosh. | 00:14:54 | |
| You were over budget by $60,000 on one thing even though we had the money over here. | 00:14:59 | |
| That shows that. | 00:15:06 | |
| To me it shows that we didn't budget correctly. | 00:15:10 | |
| So that was. | 00:15:13 | |
| Whenever Scott had made the budget, that was before we were accepted for the grant, so that money that went into the matching | 00:15:16 | |
| grant line item had to be added afterwards. | 00:15:20 | |
| So we had somewhere to put the money that we spent on the grant before we got reimbursed. | 00:15:25 | |
| So did you have to root so? | 00:15:31 | |
| The grant covered. | 00:15:33 | |
| All this, but did you have to resubmit a budget for the grant? | 00:15:34 | |
| Or just fixed. There was. We had to fix it, which is what we're doing. | 00:15:38 | |
| Right now, yeah. There was never, Frank. There was never a budget amendment. | 00:15:41 | |
| To the original budget taking into the grant. So that's why then because of where it came in now we're forced to do the true up as | 00:15:45 | |
| opposed to a regular budget amendment. Gotcha. That OK, that explains it. | 00:15:51 | |
| I was wondering if there was an amended grant amount? | 00:15:58 | |
| In there, OK. | 00:16:03 | |
| Thank you. Then of course it took a little while to extrapolate this from row shot. | 00:16:04 | |
| Yeah. | 00:16:09 | |
| Controller, but we were able to, yeah. | 00:16:10 | |
| See if I have any questions. Further questions. Not anymore. | 00:16:18 | |
| All right. So we're going to have to approve these, so I'll seek a motion to approve. | 00:16:21 | |
| Make motion to approve as submitted. | 00:16:29 | |
| Tonight's summary. | 00:16:34 | |
| OK, so you have a motion. | 00:16:37 | |
| And a second by Dale. | 00:16:39 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:16:42 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:16:45 | |
| It carries. Thank you. | 00:16:49 | |
| Thank you. | 00:16:51 | |
| I just want to add this. | 00:17:00 | |
| Obviously as we're going through the year. | 00:17:03 | |
| If we see like we're going to be. | 00:17:06 | |
| Short. | 00:17:08 | |
| Based on projections. | 00:17:12 | |
| Let's flag that, you know, at the midway point or at the two third. | 00:17:14 | |
| 2/3 point. | 00:17:18 | |
| Because I do think to Franks bigger point if. | 00:17:19 | |
| We can make these adjustments before. | 00:17:23 | |
| It would look, I think, better for the public. | 00:17:26 | |
| All right, well we are be able to have a picture now. | 00:17:29 | |
| What this year is going to look like, right? | 00:17:33 | |
| Now that we know what last year looked like. | 00:17:36 | |
| We should be better. | 00:17:39 | |
| Pretty close. The budget that was approved is just a projection of what? | 00:17:40 | |
| We had last year and what we will spend this year. | 00:17:46 | |
| I mean, there's still some unknowns. | 00:17:49 | |
| Sure, you're always going to have some unknowns and some adjustments, but. | 00:17:52 | |
| The budget that that you submitted last year? | 00:17:55 | |
| Did it include these overages? | 00:18:00 | |
| Or is it still going to be short 25? | 00:18:03 | |
| No, it should not be short in 20 minutes. | 00:18:06 | |
| So it did include these over. | 00:18:09 | |
| So the budget that was submitted for 25. | 00:18:11 | |
| Should have included these numbers, correct? | 00:18:16 | |
| With the grants, the grants is what kind of throws us off of that. | 00:18:20 | |
| Because a lot of those are 5050, we have to. | 00:18:24 | |
| Put the money forward before we get the money back. | 00:18:27 | |
| And sometimes it takes. | 00:18:29 | |
| Time for that to happen. | 00:18:31 | |
| I'm familiar with grants, yeah. | 00:18:34 | |
| So we should be in line for 20. | 00:18:38 | |
| OK, If there's anything that comes up that we see that we're. | 00:18:40 | |
| Maybe potentially going over we will. | 00:18:44 | |
| Alert Board. | 00:18:46 | |
| Yeah. | 00:18:48 | |
| All right. Any further questions for Dave? | 00:18:51 | |
| Thank you. | 00:18:53 | |
| Thanks, Dave. We appreciate you. | 00:18:54 | |
| Public comment. | 00:18:57 | |
| All right, seeing none, I'll take a motion to adjourn. | 00:19:00 | |
| Have a great day everybody. | 00:19:04 | |
| Thank you. | 00:19:06 | |
| Al and then Dale. | 00:19:10 | |
| Yeah. | 00:19:17 |
