Is there any discussion? >> City Council has worked with
007the administration on this. We've had four meetings, gone over the line items in the budget as we always have done for the the past many years. So, we understand what it is we're doing with the taxpayers' dollars. And I think again we've done a very good job. The belt tightened a little bit this year. We had to make some cuts. And um, they were more of the uh, uh, what do I want to say? The uh, wants versus the needs uh, came to the top this year. And uh, some of the wants that we want in the community wants, we're going to have to slide on a couple of those smaller things this year to get us where we need to be. Um, but uh, otherwise I believe we're doing very well. Any other comments?
008Any public comments? Back to the table. All in favor of the motion signify by saying I. >> I. >> Against? Motion does pass. Item number two, consideration approving fiscal year 2026-2027 fee schedule. Mr. City Manager. >> Council is scheduled to consider adopting the 2026-2027 city fee schedule.

Uh, and some of the different technology changes that uh, have um, come come to be. Uh, the recreation department, we have Camp Richmond swim lessons that
009all needed to be increased due to the increase in minimum wage uh, uh, and and costs associated with that.

010years. Some that >> haven't been raised in 10 and >> uh, still uh, going to be looking through those. >> I think one of the big things that, uh, you brought to us, John, was the fact that the, uh, the, uh, minimum wage had increased so much, uh, on a lot of our part-time, um, uh, seasonal, I should say. More of the seasonal. It cost caused quite a increase in, uh, uh, areas, uh, of the budget.

Under the under Under an agreement entered into by both the TIFA and city, a portion of the captured assessed value can be shared by TIFA with the city. As we have discussed during the budget approval in previous years, uh, administration worked with Miller Canfield, uh, to receive a legal opinion on the sharing of a portion of the TIF capture. The attached agreement proposes a 25% sharing of the general fund capture for the 26-27 fiscal year. Again, as the mayor mentioned, having to go through this budget with a little little closer eye on revenues and expenses, it's administration's recommendation
012to do this uh tax base sharing agreement, which will leave about $191,408 in the general fund versus in the TIF fund. >> Thank you, sir. Is there a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve the captured assessed value sharing agreement between the city of Richmond TIF and the city of Richmond for fiscal year 2026 2026-2027 and authorize the mayor to sign the agreement. >> Support. >> Motion made and supported.

The city has entered into previous five-year agreements with Richmond-Lenox EMS to provide emergency medical services. The current contract will be expiring in June 30th, 2026. And EMS uh captain Jeff White uh the uh con- proposed contract uh to the city. Uh it matches uh previous contracts, and Jeff is here to answer any questions you may have. >> Mr. White. Mr. Mayor, members of council, um you know, um this never gets old. It is really just an absolute privilege uh always to come before this particular council. Uh and it's a a privilege to to stand here and and represent uh what is now 80 uh young men and women that serve
014uh at the EMS, whether in our emergency medical service division or in our transit division. Tonight, we're just here to talk about the EMS. Council was uh kind enough to move the uh transit funding forward at their last agenda. I I would just share with you tonight, cuz I think it's uh relevant for the public to be aware, uh in the city of Richmond, we average uh just over 100 uh 911 calls per month uh in your community. And our average response time is under 6 minutes. That's um unheard of in by any standard uh actually, whether it's urban, suburban, or rural. Um it just does not happen uh in in uh in in the world of our of our industry. So, um I think we all have uh much to be very proud of
015in this community, and uh and and in those young people who who serve us so well. Thank you. >> Thank you, Jeff. Is there a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve the contract with Richmond-Lenox EMS for emergency medical service from July 1st, 2026 to June 30th, 2031, and authorize the city manager to sign the contract. >> Support. >> Motion has been made and supported.

So, we really appreciate that, and the people that work for you, uh they're Very kind people. So, any
016other discussion? Any other audience participation? Back to the table? All in favor of the motion, signify by saying I. >> I. >> Against? Motion does pass. >> Thank you all. >> Good doing business with you, Jeff. Item number six is consideration of special event request, Richmond Band Booster pumpkin sale. Mr. City Manager. >> Uh pumpkin sale. >> Oh, did I skip one? >> Yep, five. >> Special event. Uh where am I? >> Five. >> Oh, text amendment. I'm sorry. Consideration second reading and adoption of text amendment 156-36, site plan review. Mr. City Manager. >> Council scheduled to consider giving second reading and adoption of ordinance 156-36, which amends section 18.02, site plan review, to adjust how temporary special event and other uses are reviewed by the city. As the council is aware, planning commission from
017time to time looks at sections of the zoning ordinance, uh specifically those that haven't been looked at in quite some time. Uh planning commission recently reviewed uh the site plan review section of the ordinance, uh and realized that we weren't kind of following uh how we handled uh temporary uh you uses on private property. Uh >> [snorts] >> Temporary uses on or special events on public property always do come to the council uh per charter, but uh those events that occur completely on private property had been going through administration. Um and the planning commission uh felt it was better handled through adminis- administration than coming to a planning commission meeting when they only have one a month and uh uh timing can be uh sometimes problematic with that. Uh so, this actually matches up with
018how we've been handling it uh over the years. Um at the last council meeting, uh council did give introduction and first reading to this ordinance, and our city planner is here if you do have any questions tonight. >> Thank you. Troy, you have anything to add to that? >> No, I think uh the city manager covered everything. Planning Commission did go over it, and uh it would be problematic to make it a lot of these events go through Planning Commission or wait for a Planning Commission meeting. So, I do believe it's a fair uh compromise and change. >> Okay. Is there a motion? >> I make a motion to give second reading and adopt ordinance 156-36, which amends section 18.02 site plan review required to adjust how temporary, special event, and other uses are reviewed
019by the city. >> Support. Motion is made and supported. Is there any discussion on this item? All in favor of the motion, signify by saying aye. >> Aye. >> Against? Motion does pass. Now, we're on to item number six, consideration special event request, Richmond Band Boosters pumpkin sale. Mr. Sayed Manager. >> Council is scheduled to consider a request from the Richmond Band Boosters to have a banner across Main Street and temporary signage that would advertise and direct people to their 13th annual pumpkin craft and vendor sale, which is scheduled to be held the week weekend of October 3rd from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and October 4th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Uh we've approved this request many times. Uh it often comes in the end of the school year as they transition from
020the outgoing senior parents to the new senior parents. >> Thank you. Is there a motion? >> I'll make motion to approve the special event application from the Richmond Band Boosters for an across-the-road banner from September 18th through October 4th in conjunction with their annual pumpkin extravaganza on October 3rd and 4th. >> Support. >> Motion made and supported.

All in favor of the motion, signify by saying aye. >> Aye. >> Against? Motion does pass. Item number seven, consideration of special event request, Overflow Cafe. City Manager. >> City Council, Scott Dudley has a special event request from Overflow Cafe to use the Festival Field in BB Park for our worship night in the park on July 18th, 2026 with an uh an alternate date in the future. Uh Overflow Cafe holds a weekly Bible study at their coffee
022shop. Uh but uh they would like to do one in the park outside. They would like to set up a tent kind of towards the east end of of the uh concrete slab there. They'll have a small 10 by 10 tent with where the speakers and the performers will be and then I think the intent is to have people in the audience set their lawn chairs up on the concrete. Um Their alternate date of July 25th is the same day as the patriotic cruise that Pete Lucido and others are putting together. So, I did notice in the motion I would just say alternate date in August versus July 25th and I'll work with them on finding a suitable date. Hopefully they'll have good weather and July 18th will work out for them, but just due
023to the congestion that's going to be in the park that day, I don't think July 25th will work. Um, the owners did apologize they can't be here tonight. I believe they're in Sweden traveling and they did say they could come back at the next meeting if there was any questions or wanted clarification. I did talk to them about meeting us out there either myself or myself and representatives of of the festival to kind of look at the grounds prior to their event. Is there a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve the request from Overflow Cafe to use festival field to put up a tent to hold a worship night on July 18th, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. with an alternate date in August. >> Support. >> Motion made and supported. Any
024discussion on this? I would remind administration that Good Old Days Festival could be doing a little bit of work around that area towards you know, because it gets real low in there. So, we may you know, we usually try to fill that in a little more closer to the festival so it doesn't go away. >> Okay. So, just so it's earlier in August would be fine. >> Okay. >> And we will make sure that they can get electricity from our uh our panel there. >> Any other discussion on this item? Any audience participation? Back to the table. All in favor of the motion, signify by saying aye. >> Aye. >> Against? Motion does pass. We hope they have good weather. Item number eight, consideration approving purchase for the skid steer. Mr. City Manager. >> Council
025has scheduled to approve the purchase of a new skid steer [clears throat] for DPW. Uh funds were just approved in the 2026-2027 budget for the purchase of the skid steer. Uh the city of Richmond is in the process of installing a new sludge screw press at the wastewater treatment plant. Uh the press will generate material that needs needs to be handled. Uh the press also uses a polymer that is shipped in 250-gallon containers. Uh we currently don't have equipment out there to handle this. Uh so the idea is to uh purchase a new uh skid steer for the DPW and then sell the old skid steer to the wastewater plant uh in the sewer fund. Um we had originally intended to bid this out through the grant, uh which is why we did all the
026work already. Uh but as we uh progress through the grant, we realized there was other needs at the plant that needed the grant funding more than this. Um there is a chance that should we get to the end of the grant process that we might be able to reimburse uh the city for uh some of these funds. Um uh paid for by the uh DPW equipment replacement fund. Uh and so we're still wanting to follow all of the uh bid requirements that the EPA has. Um the uh lowest qualified bid received was for a Case SR 210 B and Jim Gutzinger, our public service director, is here to answer any questions. Jim, anything to add? >> [snorts] >> Uh, no.
