Howdy everyone today is Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026, and the time is 5 30 p.m. We're here for the regular session of the Copeland City Council. We do have a meeting, or we do have a quorum presence, so I'm going to call the meeting to order. We will be convening into executive session in the first floor conference room. At the end of the executive session, I'll come back out and announce work session at which time the public is invited and encouraged to attend us. And as a personal note, I wanted to wish my wife a very happy anniversary. Today is our 42nd anniversary, and she is very forgiving, knowing that I am here at a council meeting instead of at home taking care of her. So happy anniversary. Good afternoon. The time is 6 35 p.m. We have adjourned from work or from executive session, and we'll move into work session in the first floor conference room. The public is invited and encouraged to join us. Thank you. We're going to move into work session. First item is discussion of the agenda items. Anyone have any questions? I have one comment. We will be pulling item Q off the agenda. Remesch? Yeah, I had the question on Q and on the item R. The question I had is is the US digital design by Honey Will was it the only provided answer? Josh. So US Digital is probably the only legitimate vendor out there for fire station alerting. That is what all the other four fire students use. Fire station three is on a revolved, so this is to replace the one that was there that's been installed 15, 20 years ago, how long it's been. It's also the same model that's used by all the other tech cities. Any other questions on uh consent? Are any of the other agent items? Yes, sir. Um item key one on the consent agenda is the approval of near local agreement with the toll of authority. Um the agreement that's proposed is uh to assume responsibility for first responder services on uh MTT or roadways and our office is working with a number of other cities and similar agreements. We propose certain certain revisions to the agreement. The Telegram Authorities Council has been um I don't want to say belligerent, but non-responsible. Um the agreements on the agenda because uh I think uh PD just tapped it on without being reviewed. Um we're in the process of trying to renegotiate that agreement with terms that are a bit more favorable, not just the copil but to all the cities. Um I reached out to the council yesterday and asked her told her that it was on tonight's agenda. That I may if I don't hear back, ask council to pull it from the agenda. Um so if it were pulled from tonight's agenda, my guess is that you would see it on the next available uh consent agenda hopefully with changes. So I'm not exactly sure of where the negotiations are going, not just for COPL, but for anything of other cities rather than Richardson Sachs and Farm French. Um we're working on it. Okay, if you put this night, then you guys are out of next. Um I already said we were gonna pull up, so okay. I was I didn't know where you were going. All right. Any other on uh item Q uh question that I had is that I thought I thought they were going to they're offering 50,000. I wanted to ask I would chief what our cost will be to cover that on a monthly basis. So future reference. Okay.
