ANYWAY. ALL RIGHT. STARTING OUT WITH 1868 DESIGN SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR CULVERT PROJECT. 
          PUBLIC WORKS SEEKS APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT WITH LHU ENGINEERING TO PREPARE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS TO REPLACE THE CULVERT OVER SHERMAN BROOK IN KIRKLAND, PART OF THE BRIDGE, NEW YORK PROGRAM THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A HUNDRED DIFFERENT TIMES. NO COUNTY DOLLARS INVOLVED. QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE HAVING NONE. WE'LL CALL THE VOTE ON 1868. 
          ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY. OKAY, SIR. MAN, I, I DRIVE OVER THAT BRIDGE OFF AND THE BRIDGE ITSELF, AS YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, BUT I NOTICED JUST IF YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN TOWARDS KELLOGG STREET, THEY'RE ABOUT 15FT AWAY. THERE'S IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S CLOGGED WITH ALL KINDS OF STUFF. IS THAT A DC THING OR IS THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A TOWN PROJECT THAT WE'RE SPONSORING? THAT'S WHY IT'S SO WE WE'RE SPONSORING FOR THE TOWN AND HELPING WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE PART OF RUNNING THE BRIDGE NEW YORK PROJECT, SO I COULD BRING THAT UP TO JOHN SCOTT, JOHN SCOTT, AND WHAT I'LL MENTION IT TO HIM, TOO. BUT AS YOU COME TO THE COUNTY ROAD THERE, WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE KEPT GOOD CONDITION OF THE END OF CRAIG ROAD IS VERY DECREPIT. 
          AND I JUST, YOU KNOW, HEAVY EQUIPMENT IS GOING TO BE UP THERE OR WHATEVER. IT'D BE NICE TO SEE IF THAT COULD BE FIXED. BUT. YEAH. AND I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'LL WE'LL TALK WITH THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, LOOKED AT AND PROBABLY AFTER THIS PROJECT IS DONE SO WE DON'T FIX IT THEN BECAUSE WITH THE PLOWS ARE GOING TO RIP IT UP EVEN WORSE THIS WINTER.

          [b. 2025-1966 – PUBLIC SAFETY RE:     APPROVAL OF A MASTER TEMPLATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY AND VARIOUS MUNICIPALITIES FOR ROADSIDE MOWING  ]
MOVING ON TO 1966, THIS IS THE MOWING TEMPLATE WE DO ANNUALLY FOR THE MOWING SERVICES THAT MUNICIPALITIES DO. $450 A MILE FOR 2026, 455 FOR 2027. ANY QUESTIONS? KEITH? I DIDN'T SEE YOU IN THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT THE 2026 CONTRACT COMPARED TO WHERE WHAT IT IS NOW? WAS THERE AN INCREASE FOR NEXT YEAR? YEAH, THERE'S $5 PER YEAR. YES, $5 PER YEAR. YEAH. I SAW FROM 26 TO 27. I DIDN'T KNOW IF 26 WAS. YEAH. WE YEAH WE TRY TO KEEP UP. WE, WE LOOK AT THAT. WE BASE OFF OF LIKE FEMA RATES FOR EQUIPMENT USAGE AND OTHER THINGS OF WHAT IT TAKES TO DO THE MILEAGE. SO WE TRY TO, YOU KNOW, BE AS FAIR AS WE CAN WITH THE TOWNS AND SEEING WHAT THE ACTUAL COST IS OF OF DOING THE SERVICES. I GUESS ANOTHER ONE WOULD BE ON USAGE OF, OF HOW MANY TOWNS ARE NOT USING IT. THAT WOULD BE TYPICALLY MOWING. WE ARE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE MOWING AND DITCHING BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOME TOWNS HAVE MORE, YOU KNOW, COVERED DRAINAGE VERSUS MORE HAVE DITCHING. SOME REQUIRE MORE MOWING SOME. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, SOME WE MIGHT NEED TO BOOST UP A LITTLE MORE AND SOME THAT DON'T NEED AS MUCH OF A FUND FOR THAT. BUT THAT'S I MEAN WE HAVE I THINK WE'VE GOT PRETTY GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH TOWN RIGHT NOW. WE'RE WORKING PRETTY WELL TOGETHER. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE TOWN ASSOCIATIONS AND, YOU KNOW, HELPING THEM WITH BIDS AND OTHER STUFF.

MATT, JUST THIS CAME UP AT TOWN MEETING. IS THERE A CERTAIN TIMES OF YEAR THAT WE REQUIRE THE TOWNS TO ACTUALLY DO THE MOWING? NO. SO MOW THE MOWING AND THE DITCHING CONTRACTS ARE BASICALLY LIKE KIND OF TNM. SO IT'S NOT LIKE THE PLOWING WHERE THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR PLOWING. 
          IT'S, YOU KNOW, AS NEEDED. YOU KNOW, IF IT'S WE MIGHT DO IT, THEY MIGHT DO IT. IT'S IT'S STILL OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE IT'S DONE. BUT IT'S WE WORK WITH THE TOWNS AND, YOU KNOW, FOR DIFFERENT AREAS AND THEY HELP US AND, YOU KNOW, IT JUST MAKES MORE SENSE DISTANCE FROM, YOU KNOW, SHOP AND EVERYTHING ELSE. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANKS. HAVING NONE. WE'LL CALL THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? 1966 PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON

RESOLUTION. WATER QUALITY REQUEST. THE PASSAGE OF THE BONDING RESOLUTION CONTAINING THE TOTAL PROJECT COST FOR THE SEQUOYAH CREEK PUMPING STATION. RESILIENCY ENHANCEMENTS. 
          REVISED ESTIMATE IS NOW 19.8 MILLION. PREVIOUSLY, THE LEGISLATURE APPROVED 11 MILLION IN BONDING. THE CURRENT REQUEST IS AN ADDITIONAL 8.8 IN BONDING. HOWEVER, THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DESIGNATED TO RECEIVE MORE THAN 8.3 MILLION TO COVER A BIG PORTION OF THAT IN GRANT MONEY. 
          QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE. MR. JULIAN. THANK. CARL, OBVIOUSLY. AND THIS TIES INTO 2033. YES. 
          ALSO VERSUS THE ACTUAL BOND RESOLUTION. AND IN THERE YOU'RE KIND OF REVISED ANNUAL ESTIMATE COST OF SUCH INCREASE IN THE TYPICAL PROPERTY. AND FED DISTRICT IS $20 FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND $30 FOR A TWO FAMILY HOME. GENERALLY YOU PUT THAT IN AS PERCENTAGES. WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE WOULD YOU SAY WOULD INCREASE AN AVERAGE WATER BILL WOULD INCREASE? I'D HAVE TO I'D HAVE TO GO FIGURE THAT ONE, THAT ONE OUT. BUT FOR FOR PURPOSES OF BONDING, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO IS WHAT IS WHAT IS THAT ANNUAL INCREASE GOING TO BE. SO THAT THAT'S WHAT WAS DONE DONE IN THIS CASE THAT BUT THAT'S BASED ON THE BORROWING, THE FULL $19.8 MILLION. BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE 5.6 MILLION IN FEDERAL MONEY, 2.7 MILLION IN STATE MONEY, PLUS WE'VE KIND OF WE'VE BUNDLED SOMETHING ELSE INTO THIS PROJECT, WHICH WE ABOUT $4 MILLION THAT WE INTENDED TO PAY FOR OURSELVES OUT OF, OUT OF FUND BALANCE. SO WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING? THE ORIGINAL BOND AUTHORIZATION THAT WE HAD INCLUDED SOME GRANT MONEY, BUT WE WERE GOING TO BE FINANCING ABOUT 8.2 MILLION. BUT WHEN WE'RE ALL SAID AND DONE, EVEN THOUGH THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT INCREASED, THE AMOUNT THAT WE ANTICIPATE FINANCING IS GOING TO BE ABOUT 7.4 MILLION. SO BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT, WHAT YOU QUOTED FOR THE ANNUAL COST, WE HAVE TO SHOW THAT BASED ON THE FULL VALUE OF THE PROJECT, JUST BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT EFC REQUIRES US TO DO. THEY REQUIRE THAT WE HAVE A BOND RESOLUTION FOR THE FULL VALUE OF OF THE PROJECT, BECAUSE WE WE PAY FOR EVERYTHING UP FRONT, AND THEN THE GRANT MONIES KICK IN AT THE TIME WE DO OUR LONG TERM FINANCING. SO WE'LL HAVE THAT PERCENTAGE. I CAN I CAN GET THAT MONEY, GET THAT PERCENTAGE FOR YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
