Okay, you're on. Thank you. Good morning. We'll call one of the June 9th, 2026 meeting of the Board of Public Works and Safety. We'll begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. We'll call on you later in the meeting. Hutchins Telecom. Anyone here from Hutchins Telecom? Good morning. No, I'm here on behalf of Scott Hewen for Hutchins Telecom. Um we are the con uh consulting engineering firm that they use. Uh my name is Kathleen Ford of Yates Engineering Services. Um and basically Hutchins is proposing to build for charter communications some fiber internet to a local business at nine ninety nine Park Place. Um they're wanting to overlash their fiber to existing strand. It's a very simple and easy um process. They basically have their fiber and they run a lashing uh somebody walks a lashing uh machine across the fiber on the on the existing poles. Um very minimal um flagging will be used along the roadway of uh Hausfelt and begins at uh the pole at one thirty one Hosfelt and continues to park place. There's photos attached of the sign that starts there as you said at one thirty-one Hosvel continues down around goes to uh park place where it comes down the pole and goes underground to the uh business. What kind of cable is it? Uh last photo show is where it can't underground there from that phone. Uh flaggers are though you use flaggers where they have to be uh well, but hospital is wide enough that uh that they can go without closing anything. Okay traffic on you see the issues there. No, it's like you say it's pretty this one's pretty simple, it's overlash an existing uh cable that's already there, so the machine just goes wraps it. So they don't affect any resonance or anything. No, no. Make a motion to approve second. Motion's been made to move by second. All those in favor signify by saying aye. All right. Thank you. Anyone from another pipeline or send a point? Do you want to be the response? Yeah. Okay. This is for um a uh gas main relocation, uh retired, uh, old main gas main and installing a new one on uh Pearl. This is part of the city's uh O Street project. Photos are attached. This was part of the um extended uh closure request that I had a week or so ago on Pearl was for for this activity. It just is a 400 feet of new guys, but it's in that closure already. Yes, it's that there is a little bit of it that's outside, and you can see from the first picture of it uh it'll start about that driveway, which is before the closure, but they'll be able to do it without closing that section. Second motion's been made to move by second. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. All right, that will oppose motion carries. Thank you.
