MEMBER SMUCKLER: Can someone tell me approximately how...approximately how much this is going to cost? SERVICE DIRECTOR HIGHMAN: Uh...this...uh...Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: Yeah. SERVICE DIRECTOR HIGHMAN: Okay, so this has got to be a NIP Demo. It’s fully reimbursable. Essentially, what has happened here is...the demo was $51,000.00. The agreement was opened per the Ordinance that was authorized, I believe (Inaudible) for $40,000.00, so the moral ob for the demo piece will be $11,000.00. Then there may be a couple of smaller moral obs for the legal title work that has to take place for a demolition. So, all told, in terms of moral obs, we’re looking probably at somewhere in the ballpark of $11,000.00 to $13,000.00; however, that said, it’s all NIP reimbursable. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Thank you.

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS PRESIDENT SHERER: We’re now under...and I should cover... CLERK DOUGHERTY: Actually, you cover... PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Miscellaneous Business.

MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President, I do have one announcement to make. The...several months ago we passed a resolution here dealing with cell phone ghosts, cell phone number abuse. Well, today I was (Inaudible) an account, and of course the 800 number comes up, and when I leave the account, the number comes up right away. It happened to be my bank and they said, “We didn’t call you”. “You didn’t leave any information on our phone”? Which I didn’t. That’s the bad news. The good news is, we as a community, as a collective community across the united states, make a difference....because I COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -104- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 11, 2019 called the FCC right after that and the FCC ruled last week, unbeknownst to me, that the FCC’s given the phone companies til November to solve this problem and that is ghost calls, the IRS calls, the Social Security calls, all the rip-off spam calls you can imagine. All major phone companies have til November to solve the problem and I think that’s what happens when we deal with national issues as a collective. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you Member Smuckler. Is there any other Miscellaneous Business for tonight? MEMBER SMITH: Mr. President. I’d just like to recognize a young man that always comes down to um...City Council, and he gets so excited when he’s here. And he’s in government class, am I correct? And um...he spends his time...when he has to do an assignment, he makes it a point to comes to City Council. And I just want to recognize him for that. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thanks. (Applause).
