hold off and maybe Keith could be here. He was the one that would like to hear
that.
Item 4. Discussion of Locust Grove Overpass Right-of-Way
Reimbursement:
Cowie: We can have the discussion of the Finance Report.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Come: Yes.
Nary: Before we do that thought I know Mr. Mills is here and I wandered if -all
was going to ask him a question was is there a particular person from ACRD that
might want to be here for that discussion about the right of way. We'll set it over
to next -well two weeks. Yourself is fine but if you think there is someone else
more appropriate would you -
Mills: We certainly can I'm not exactly sure what the questions are. Certainly if
knew what those were I could either answer them or take them back.
Nary: Maybe take them back because what we'll do is we'll probably set it over
like I said for a couple of weeks. We had asked at our Joint Meeting for
information as to which pieces of property have already been purchased with the
money that was set aside for that project from the city.
Mills: Okay and -
Nary: And we had some questions about some of the properties. Basically, how
do they fit in the criteria that we had set up for that? Is that a fair statement?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: So I don't know if there is a particular person from ACRD that's - I
remember the gentleman knows the project manager that sort of stood up while
we were there and I don't remember his name. I don't know if he should be here
to have that conversation with.
Mills: It's possible. My limited knowledge is that there are three different projects
between Franklin and Overland and that you're being charged right of way for all
three of those projects, which includes the Overland Locust Grove Intersection.
Then the project that would be from Overland up to 500 feet north up near
Bentley I guess that would include the overpass then one from Bentley onto
Franklin. My understanding is you're being charged for right of way purchased
on all three of those projects. From what I - I have a copy of the agreement and
it's a bit nebulas in whatever the word is. I guess it says that it's between
Franklin Road to Overland Road parenthesis and I-84 Overpass. Is there a

question about that about whether you should be being charged for something
other than the overpass project itself or that's really, what the question is?
Nary: Yes, the document that we received had identified some properties that at
least one particularly I think was on Franklin Road I can't recall.
De Weerd: Probably both
Nary: Yes but it was really fronting Overland and not part of the Locust Grove
project.
Mills: It wasn't fronting Locust Grove it was just on Overland. It wasn't on a
corner or something like that?
Nary: Right.
Mills: Okay.
Come: One of them was the purchasing fronts Overland Road which could be
part of the intersection improvement. That was still (inaudible) about that.
Mills: Okay.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Carrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess it was my impression first that our 1.8 million dollars would be
used for the Locust Grove Overpass not the intersections but the overpass. We
just want some clarity on that and I believe our Public Work's Director had also
brought in question a couple of properties that were being asked for
reimbursement. I totally agree with him.
Mills: Well now I understand what your questions are. Probably it would be
better if I bring someone along that can explain it or at least get all the answers
for you or bring that to you or send it in a letter form. That's my understanding.
You're more concentrated on the overpass not necessarily the other.
Corrie: And we can have that continued to August the 5~". Would that give you
enough time to -
Mills: Sure or even a week is fine
Corrie: We won't be here.
Mills: You won't be meeting next week anyway so that's fine.

Cowie: He won't be here then and I won't be here the 5"' but I don't count
anyway.
De Weerd: Where are you, you haven't asked for permission
Cowie: Yes I did she said okay.
De Weerd: Oh, your wife.
Mills: Well I'll get the answers for you.
De Weerd: Oh sorry the higher authority.
Cowie: Okay thank you. Anything further Mr. Nary?
Nary: No I just thought we would get that taken care of this week.
Item 5. Discussion of Finance Report:
Cowie: Stacy do you want to go and then put him last?
Kilchenmann: I think we've discussed numbers enough in the last few days so I
don't have too much to add to the revenue discussion we already have. I went
through all the expenses and it looks like we're going to come in fine. With the
hold back we did, we should be in good shape expense wise. I did look to see if
we could restore the hold back for the city hall and I think we can. We will have
savings in prosecution expense of 54,000 dollars and we have a line item in
other government called advertising and promotional that we haven't used which
we could probably also use that for volunteers to do something. Will and I talked
about doing something for the volunteers out of that. Then you have about
28,000 dollars left in the Council professional services budget so you would be
okay to go with that. I printed out for everyone the email I sent you with this
summary from the budget workshop just in case you don't have a printer handy
or whatever.
De Weerd: I think (inaudible).
Kilchenmann: Are there any questions?
Corrie: I don't have any right now.
De Weerd: I certainly appreciate you looking into that for the update.
Kilchenmann: If there aren't any more questions then we'll let Teny take over.
