Good afternoon, everybody. I'd like to call to order July 10th meeting for environment of the environmental matters committee. Let's see, let's take uh roll call. Alderman Arnett here. Present. All right, thank you. Um business miscellaneous. Did I get a motion to approve the missed? Yeah, approval of the agenda. Second. All the favor, please say aye. Aye. Is there motion to approve the minutes from June 12th? Move approval of the minutes from the June 12th meeting. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. All right. Aye. Carries. Thank you. First up legislative item 02024. Um I think we're like to we also have a presentation from we have staff here present, but we also have the heritage commission. So I guess if staff, either city managers or public works whoever wants to give us a breakdown on the legislation. Yes. We'll do introductions real quick. I'm Burvogel, Director of Public Works. Matt Flinner, Director of Central Services. Thank you. So can you just break down of O 2025? What the purpose is? I can kick it off and just yeah, it so uh very briefly we are conveying uh the spa road property to the county uh to move forward with the environmental remediation. So this is just a step we have to do to comply with the grant uh and complete the remediation work. Um, and then we intend to get the property back from the county and then do other development. So sorry, one one correction uh the transfer will be to the resilience authority. Oh, thanks, Burf. Sorry, in Anorono County. The resilience authority, and then um we'll be getting it back and then we'll use it for future development after sites remediated. All right, anything else to add? That's it. And this is for uh both sides or one side. It's for both sides. It'll be for 932 and 935. 935 is we'll go through a subdivision to Weems Well and Field and the back will be done separately, and then the front piece will all be for the remediation for a brown fields grant. Okay, so to clarify then it's the north, northwest and southeast side by or west and whatever. We generally refer to um the side with the salt dome as the west side, the side with Weems Wayland Field is the east side, and so uh 935 is the east side. 935 is the east side, 935 is the east side, it will be split into two parcels, and it will be the westernmost parcel that uh we're transferring here. Okay, so it's only the westernmost parcel of the east side, 935. And the west side, oh and the west correct. So one parcel from the east and then one part. Correct.
