 It is 5.30, and I will call the meeting in order. I'll start with a call on the person height of me. Here. I'll do it for you. Here. I'll call the person wrap. The person's bells are as excuse me. So that was probably it. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I'm a leader just to see the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, liberty, and justice for all. Okay. I see everyone knows that Steve's been here quite a few times. Get an introduction of staff. Let's say there's any objections. I'll start with approval of the minutes from December 12, 2023. I move to approve. I'll second. I'll smooth the second. Any discussion? I'll spin it. All those in favor? Aye. The chair votes aye. Those are approved. Okay. Members of this resolution or 1923-24 resolution to authorizing the apartment city officials to file an application with cons and emergency management for hazard mitigation grant program HMP to protect the wastewater infrastructure of the city of Chicago. And specifically this system intercepted to execute documents necessary to set grant funds to designate the director public works as the city's authorized representative and designating $1,788,962.00, which presents a working matching as required by program. Right? Yeah. Chair, this is basically a requirement by FEMA to do $4,000,000 for C9 million. So they need a representative from the city to be authorized to do this work. So it's just authorizing it. All the paperwork that we, Ryan and our staff, have been working on this. This is a Lakeshore interceptor and getting that protected. We're close. This is one of the last final pieces of things we need to get approved. They want us to get out and get set and we'll hope that the money gets released to be able to build the project. Nice. So looking for your approval. Any questions? Okay, on this project, and I know we all wanted that. Are other communities trying to get the same amount of money for other products or is it just all these late communities? You had to be after this grant through Wisconsin Emergency Management. There was only certain eligible communities. There's other community sites outside of Wisconsin that have opportunity. But this grant is, we're not necessarily competing. It's ready to go. It's in their system. It's earmarked. It's just a matter of getting the proper paperwork and everything approved to get it released. If there's no possibility we're going to get less than $9 million? At this age. What about more than $9 million? It actually has gone up. It went around 7.8 and now it's up to 9. Which has been, we were concerned because, if you recall, we've been talking about this for three years. Prices have changed. Prices have changed. And it's good to see they have adjusted with the budget. Move to approve. Thank you. Any discussion? I'm going to close the chair website. That's approved. Resolution number 131-2034. Authorizing your purchasing agent to purchase the issuing purchase order for 2020-2024. Model E-CR-145-SEL. With bucket and trailer. That's for the works. Yes, Mr. Chairman. This has been in the capital improvements. This has been approved. And I have Rick Nye, our motor vehicle supervisor over here to answer any questions. This is a important piece of equipment. Typically we've had all wheel excavators that have wheels. But some of the work we've experienced track excavator at least one in our fleet. We provide better stability and better reach in many of the applications that we're working on. So, yeah. We've got a crypto clock. So any questions? Rick, for the details. Anyone else have questions? Do we have one already? We've got a wheel excavator. It's just a wheel for 2001. Oh, sure. Yeah. Used and abused. I move to approve. Second. Any other discussion? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Chair votes aye. It is approved. Resolution number 1362324. Authorizing bridge stage two. Order for a thorough ground master. Why three more accessories for the department of work works. Again, Mr. Chairman. This is another piece of equipment. That was budgeted in the 2024 capital improvements. Motor vehicle. This is basically our wide area more. So in other words, we're doing large areas, large fields. So it has decks that come down. It's used every day. It's part of the main stage in our mowing fleet. And it's replacing a 2010 model. And currently, we have a simplicity. We've demoed the Toro and it's much to our satisfaction. We're looking forward to this unit. Again, I have Rick here. Rick to answer any of the details.
