I just want to make sure that everything is all in line that you guys have got all your your um site plan and the fire department's got all their codes up-to-date with the food trucks and all this ready to go.

Um we do have our site plan submitted. Um we've been going through the special event permit stuff online. Uh all of our food vendors stuff was over to uh Jordan. And sounds like well, a lot of the vendors are a lot of them are repeats. Although, 19 of the vendors, because of just the way things went and in the every other a lot of the 19 of those vendors are not doing it. So, we're working on backfilling...

Also, we have we have our own we're going to be having our own blockades. I talked to Brian earlier. Um originally I had uh the assumption or had the communication that I thought there were blockades already available, but I mean, blockades like that are pretty easy to make. I mean, I think we could probably pound out a hundred of them in a 4-hour period with our wood shop, so it's not going to be a big deal.

I'm just asking for this fire inspector's position, that that was pro made for an individual that had moved out of our city. And I'm not sure what his status is, if he's going to stay or if he's going to go. But if he's is he going to be getting another person underneath him? Or is it a position that we really because we've never had an inspector prior to this uh firefighter moving out of our district here. Is this something that we need to hold on to? So, that's my question is.

Earlier, the uh that position has been around for a while that we uh added one. There is a separate position that does the fire um or the uh code enforcement. Uh this is going to be um a fire What's the marshal? Not marshal, fire um inspector position. There's always been two of them. Um Brent was upgraded to the fire marshal position. And uh So, this is if uh they're looking to an internal opening of that position for internal I think currently as of now we have one person that qualifies for it with the training that they've had. And then what will happen is another position will be open for the fire inspector. The reason it's in here is a change because the title used to be fire inspector and fire inspector captain position. And uh that's part's going to go away. So, it's actually going to be a downgraded position that doesn't pay what it used to. So, um it'll be a savings for that position.

As a brief review of the council we discussed at that meeting in earlier May that city staff had been approached by developer not developers property owners who wanted to improve their gravel alley with blacktop or bituminous. Unfortunately, we don't have a process or method on the books to say yes you can do that or no you can't. And so that spurred on this whole discussion and research and information that I'm providing to you that I provided at the last meeting and again tonight.

Uh we'd originally called it a license agreement and it's his opinion it's probably more likely an encroachment agreement, but again that's a legal document that the city gives the owners the permission to do what they want to do subject to conditions including that the city can use still use the alley. Uh they put in all the improvements at their own expense uh and it gets recorded the legal agreement gets recorded against the titles of all the affected properties. So future owners in theory should know about it. So, 10-15 years from now, somebody would come back to the city and say, 'Well, this alley's falling apart. You need to improve it.' There should be a recorded agreement says, 'No, it was a private agreement, private improvement. The owners are responsible for that, and the city is not.'

Um one other thing that um I would like you you guys's opinion that I think we should direct staff to add is some sort of a notification process for the alley segments for all the properties that are abutting the alley so they have a period of time to go back to the city to go, 'No, we want to get together and do the whole alley or no, I want to contest this or or whatever reason, but but some sort of notification and period where they could contact the city staff um about their thoughts'
