| #5. | 00:01:00 | |
| OK, public forum. | 00:01:02 | |
| Do you have anybody for public forum? | 00:01:04 | |
| Come on, join us. Give me some. | 00:01:09 | |
| No, Mike, here we go. | 00:01:10 | |
| And we need approval of resolution 2603-03. | 00:01:15 | |
| Don't know if you want to give us a. | 00:01:21 | |
| Yes, ma'am, the resolution. | 00:01:23 | |
| Required to apply. | 00:01:26 | |
| For local solar access. | 00:01:29 | |
| And the first one is going to be. | 00:01:32 | |
| Over the wastewater treatment plant because it's our largest consumer of electricity. | 00:01:34 | |
| And the second and third will be the swimming pool, which was mentioned at the. | 00:01:39 | |
| New Mexico Tech. | 00:01:44 | |
| Public input. | 00:01:45 | |
| Meeting about the swimming pool, that's one of the things they requested. | 00:01:46 | |
| And the third one, I believe is going to be Finley. | 00:01:49 | |

| What do you on the 5th? | 00:01:55 | |
| Paragraph starting with whereas. | 00:01:57 | |
| I made it plural. | 00:01:59 | |
| So we don't have to bring this back to the county for all three applications. | 00:02:01 | |
| It's specifically says solar systems designs. | 00:02:05 | |
| OK. And the application in your packet and the resolution also states that you're approving the application. | 00:02:11 | |
| And Ruby provided. | 00:02:18 | |
| Her input. | 00:02:19 | |
| On the application. | 00:02:21 | |
| And as you'll see on that, it is for the wastewater treatment plant. | 00:02:23 | |
| Is this all grant or grant loan? | 00:02:29 | |
| This one, the first part is for $50,000 and it's. | 00:02:31 | |
| For permitting applic. | 00:02:35 | |
| Submission. Uh. | 00:02:38 | |
| Site Analysis. | 00:02:40 | |

| And then once we have a design. | 00:02:46 | |
| Actually, we can. | 00:02:48 | |
| Apply for design in another. | 00:02:49 | |
| Side of this fund. | 00:02:51 | |
| For further design and then for purchasing the equipment and installing it. | 00:02:54 | |

| Madam Mayor, Derek's here if you want to give her a minute. Oh. | 00:06:01 | |
| Hi, did you? | 00:06:04 | |
| Want to come and talk? | 00:06:05 | |
| OK. | 00:06:07 | |
| Yeah. | 00:06:13 | |
| This is a long time coming. I've had this in my back pocket for about 8 years. | 00:06:18 | |
| And if you guys want to get a taste of it, I backed my sister-in-law and carries those. | 00:06:22 | |
| So first place is called. | 00:06:27 | |
| Again, sweet spot. | 00:06:29 | |
| And it's going to be a lot of the similar stuff. So it's been. | 00:06:30 | |
| Since the. | 00:06:34 | |
| Hitting the Go button. | 00:06:36 | |
| It's been about almost a year and a half and we finally got to break ground. | 00:06:37 | |
| A couple weeks ago, CID were held up at CID again. | 00:06:43 | |
| I believe they got ahold of the city. | 00:06:47 | |
| Either yesterday, today. | 00:06:49 | |
| And so we'll be moving forward. | 00:06:50 | |
| And it'll be located at 601 N California Street, where the old Shirley's Drive in was. So we're hoping to. | 00:06:52 | |
| Really spruce that place up and. | 00:06:59 | |
| I remember I got laughed out of A room. | 00:07:03 | |
| Trying to get funding for Your Mama's Grown. We never got it. | 00:07:06 | |
| I opened that on my credit cards. | 00:07:09 | |
| And some investment brokers and bankers were there and I said I want to create jobs for my community. | 00:07:12 | |
| And they laughed because they're not into that. It's just the money. | 00:07:19 | |
| With this one I'm hoping to create a minimum of 10. | 00:07:22 | |
| And up to 16 to 18 jobs. | 00:07:26 | |
| Of people here in town from all across the ages. I do have a kitchen manager and a general manager already. | 00:07:28 | |
| So that's really promising. | 00:07:34 | |
| And so it's just a matter of. | 00:07:35 | |
| Adding water. | 00:07:37 | |
| I mean, but thank you guys for the opportunity and if you guys need anything from me. | 00:07:38 | |
| Let me know. | 00:07:43 | |
| All right. Thanks. Thank you. | 00:07:44 | |
