Bonjour tout le monde, merci d'être avec nous aujourd'hui. It's great to be here in beautiful Shelburne at the Out and About Day Camp. And I'm glad our MP for South Shore of St. Margaret's, Bernadette Jordan, could join us today. Thanks for being here Bernadette, thank you for all the great work you do here in the community. I want to also highlight Colin Fraser, who came down the road to see us as well. Thank you for all the work you guys are doing this summer connecting with the communities, but summer's going to be over soon enough and we'll have you back in Ottawa. So enjoy every minute of it, I know I am. When this is work, I'm doing great. This week I've been visiting communities in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia to chat with folks about an important, exciting new initiative put in place by our government 12 months ago this week. I'm talking about the Canada Child Benefit. Now many of you know what this benefit is all about, but it bears repeating because it really is making a difference in people's lives. You see, the old system used to be set up so that all parents who had kids received help from the government. And that sounds good in theory, but in reality we had a bunch of millionaires getting checks every month that they didn't need while a single parent or lower income family still struggled to get by. We didn't think that was right. In our minds, the folks who need help should get it and those who don't shouldn't. It's as simple as that. So we decided to correct the old system. And a year ago, parents started receiving the new Canada Child Benefit. This new consolidated, non-imposable, monthly, more generous and more equitable system that the old system and millionaires don't receive any more checks for children. The impact on families across the country, including here in Shelburne has been significant. Whether you're using the Canada Child Benefit to buy groceries, enroll your kids in summer camp, or help cover childcare costs, we see the CCB being put to good use. I mean, let's face it. Raising kids is expensive. It's really expensive. So if we can help put some extra money back into the pockets of parents each and every month, we're going to do that because we believe in helping families get ahead while also growing our communities. The CCB means more money for 9 out of 10 Canadian families and it means 300,000 fewer kids living in poverty across this country. Our government is working hard to make life better for Canada's middle class and those working hard to join it. And the CCB is just one more way we're proud to deliver.


Putin to announce he's running for president again at exhibition of his achievements. In November 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin may announce his intention to run for a new presidential term in 2024. This will happen during the exhibition of his achievements, while the Kremlin is already forming a list of confidants. Kremlin-aligned media commissant and RBC reported this. The media sources say that the start of the informal presidential campaign is scheduled for November and is timed to coincide with the opening of the Russia International Exhibition and Forum. Putin may announce his candidature on this platform. The media say that there are other options and only Putin himself will make the final decision. At the same time, it is not exactly specified what options are in question. The exhibition at which the 70-year-old president plans to announce his decision will run from the 4th of November to the 12th of April, that is, during the entire presidential campaign. It is held to demonstrate the most important achievements of the Russian Federation in various sectors of the economy and the positive experience of the development of subjects of the Russian Federation. Putin's decree states, In fact, this is an achievement of Vladimir Putin, another media source explained the exhibition's meaning. The media sources described the presidential campaign as follows. Russia is a separate civilization of family or families. For which traditional values are important is being attacked by the enemies, but thanks to the consolidation of society, they will not achieve anything. These are the theses that the Kremlin and Putin personally regularly use to justify the war against Ukraine.


For whatever reason, it sounded like a great job to me and from that day on, I knew I wanted to go to the DC area, work in public policy, and do research. My name is Brent Scorup. I'm a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center. I was a teenager, middle school, maybe early high school. I was watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and there was a very good contestant on the show, and Regis Philbin asked the contestant what he did for a living, and he said he worked at a think tank, and I remember where it was, what he did, but he described writing white papers and policy ideas and promoting those. For whatever reason, it sounded like a great job to me, and from that day on, I knew I wanted to go to the DC area, work in public policy, and do research, do think tank research, and that's set me on my path. I was just happy to watch that Who Wants to Be a Millionaire episode. In college, I was a psychology major, cognitive science, doing lab work. One of my friends on the wrestling team was taking business classes and econ classes, and he was assigned to the road to serfdom by F.A. Hayek to read, and something about it intrigued me. I saw his book and started reading it, and it was eye-opening for me. Looking back, it's some of a plammical book, this idea that we're headed inevitably to serfdom under socialism, but it was an exciting book. It got me interested in F.A. Hayek and free market economics, and I actually changed my major. I became an econ major after that, and started reading a lot more economics books, started reading blogs, Mars Revolution, and F.A. Hayek, and that eventually brought me to the DC policy point.

Here we go. This is the website. It's Kucho Copper. All right. The website is kucho.ca. As you can see here, Kucho Copper Corp. You can go to home, team, Kucho Projects, ESG, investors, information, news, and contact. You can see they are priced at $0.98 in Canada on the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange and on the OTCQX Highest Tier Exchange in America, currently at $0.78. So this is the website. Everyone should go to their website and subscribe for the latest news and events. Just go to subscribe now. All right. And I'm going to subscribe. There we go. Just like that. All right.  You can see here, Kucho Copper has a clear path to develop its 100% owned high grade copper zinc project. Kucho Copper Corp is a Canadian resource development company focused on expanding and developing the Kucho High Grade Copper Zinc project in Northern British Columbia, committed to social responsibility and the highest environmental standards the company intends to advance the Kucho Project through permitting to a positive construction decision. So these are some of the key points of focus. I'm not going to go through all of the stuff on the website, but you guys are welcome to do that. Okay. What I want to do is I want to go through the stock, we're going to go through the chart, we're going to go through the news, we're going to go through the company deck. So hopefully you guys can learn more about this company and as a community, we can come to a consensus as to whether or not this could be another big winner for our community. Sven Appearance says, thanks Rich, hope TAT will raise next months, it could be a game changer. TAT's already been a game changer for our community and TAT's just getting started. It's an early stage, super hyper growth company and it's going to go through ups and down. So I don't think that TAT's doing poorly, I think TAT's done extremely well, but like all stocks that have gone up a lot, it has to consolidate until the revenues grow and until the next catalyst comes, it could be a NASDAQ listing, it could be a big acquisition, it could be big revenue growth. These are the types of catalysts we're waiting for for TAT and these are the types of catalysts you've got to look for for all stocks. So this is the Kucho Copper website, what I want to do now is we're also going to go through. Let's go through. Now that you guys know their website, let's take a look at some more. We've looked at their website, so let's take a look at the news releases. All right, so here's the news. So here's the recent news that came in that we want you guys to be aware of. All right. So obviously it's important to understand all the news that's going on with a company. So here's the news, Kucho Copper announces results of feasibility study. This is the most recent news that came up two days ago and it looks like this. Kucho Copper Corp is pleased to announce the results of the 2021 feasibility study for the development of the 100% owned Kucho Copper and Zinc project in Northern British Columbia. So these are the stats that are catching our imagination right here. Rebust project economics, base case metal prices, $3.50, a pound copper and $1.15, a pound Zinc, pre-tax NPV, 7% of 737 million Canadian. IRR 31%, after-tax NPV, 7%, 461 million IRR 25%. That is enormous revenue potential. Spot metal prices at 450 a pound copper and 157 a pound Zinc, pre-tax NPV of 7%. Now we're talking 1.367 million. So 1.4 billion IRR 51% and after-tax NPV of 7% or 931 million Canadian IRR of 41%. So the revenue potential is enormous. Low cost production, cash costs of US $1.11 a pound copper, all in sustaining costs of US $1.80 a pound copper, initial cost of 483 million Canadian, initial capital cost of 483 million Canadian. This is a huge project, 11-year open pit and underground mine life, metal production of 533 pounds copper, 841 million pounds Zinc, 10.6 million ounces of silver and 129.7 ounces of gold. Wow, that's incredible potential. High grade mineral resource, 8 million tons grading 2.26% copper, containing 1.1 pounds copper, 764 million pounds copper, and wow, 1 over 1 billion pounds Zinc. In addition, 12.9 million tons grading 1.62% copper, containing 460 million pounds copper in the inferred category, 312 million pounds copper, and 449 million pounds of Zinc. This is just incredible finding stable mining jurisdiction situated in northern British Columbia, Canada. One of the safest global mining jurisdictions located in the traditional territories of the Tautan Nation and Kaska-Dana Nation. Let's hear from Vince Seracci who actually just interviewed this week. Stay tuned to the CO interview. It's coming soon. Let's hear what you have to say about this. Vince Seracci, president and CEO of Kucho Copper commented, The feasibility study represents a major milestone for Kucho Copper as we continue to advance the high grade Kucho Copper Zinc project towards a development decision. The significant redesign and engineering of the project delivers a mine plan that is a predominantly open pit mining operation with the concurrent development of two underground mines. The mine plan has resulted in a technical, robust, and capital efficient project with a minimized footprint. The results of the feasibility study highlight the attractive economics of the Kucho project, which are resilient at lower metal prices, very attractive at base case prices, and exhibit significant leverage to rising prices as reflected in spot prices with a Canadian 931 million after-tax NPV, 7%, and a 31% IRR. We believe that the results of the feasibility study mean that Kucho Copper is now one of the most undervalued copper investment opportunities in North America. That's right, in North America. You can see table one feasibility study headline results, which we broke down so the potential is absolutely outstanding. You can see the project valuation, metal prices, base case, mineral reserves, project technicals, produced metal in concentrate, and operating costs. Capital costs, I mean this is not going to be a cheap project, we're talking about a $589 million project, but the end result could be enormous, absolutely enormous. All right, and you can see here figure one sensitivity of base case after-tax NPV, 7%, and IRR to metal prices, and US Canadian figures, and you can see here the NPV and IRR sensitivity to metal prices, and percentage increase linked to copper price. So you can see here the potential is absolutely enormous, absolutely enormous potential here. So this is a company that has a chance to be much bigger than what it is, and we're going to go through the chart, it's already done extremely well. And you can see the NPV and IRR sensitivity to copper prices, only zinc, silver, and gold at base case prices. So enormous potential, absolutely enormous potential. So let's talk about the project summary. The Kucho project is located in northern British Columbia approximately 100 kilometers east of Deese Lake within the traditional territories of the Taltan Nation and Cascadenna Nation. The project describing the feasibility study contemplates mining the main and SO deposits to extract mainly copper and zinc with minor quantities of gold and silver. The main deposit is designed to be mined primarily as a conventional shovel and truck open pit operation with a deeper remnant mind by underground longitudinal long-hole open stopping. With cemented rock fill, the underground SO deposit is also designed to be mined using LLHOS and CRF. A total of 17.3 million tons is planned to be mined over an 11-year mine life with 14.5 million tons coming from the open pit and 2.8 million tons from the underground mines. A steady state crusher production rate of 4,500 tons per day is expected to be achieved by the end of the first year of operations. After primary crushing at an average steady state rate of 4,500 TPD, an ore sorter utilizing an x-ray transmitting XRT sensor would remove low-grade and waste material from the feed to the sag and ball mills, followed by conventional floating, regrind and dewatering circuits. Approximately 3,900 TPD of ore would report to the milling and flotation circuit after ore sorting. A total of 533 million pounds of copper and 841 million pounds of zinc as primary products and 10.6 million ounces of silver, 129,000 ounces of gold is anticipated to be recovered to concentrate for sale. Huge, huge findings. The project design includes an extensive progression reclamation program, including the backfilling of the open pit and water treatment during operations and for the closure period. The project is located within the traditional territories of the Taltan Nation and Cascadenna Nation. Kucho has a good working relationship with these nations and has started discussions with both to develop economic participation agreements that would safeguard their interests, provide deployment and benefit the nations economically. Feasibility study participation. The study was led by CSA Global and included the support of SIM Geological Inc., All North Consultants Limited, ABH Engineering Inc., Minite Consulting, Terrain Geoscience, Pitau Associates and Onsite Engineering Limited, all of which are independent of the company. So this is the environmental, social and governance environmental. So the Kucho project is designed with environmental protection in mind, final closure and reclamation or key drivers in the design process, various environmental protection and impact mitigations are incorporated with the highlights being. I'm not going to go through all of that. And then they go through the social, which we talked a little bit about, and then they go through the governance. They go through the location and access. The Kucho project is located in northern British Columbia, approximately 100 kilometers east of Deese Lake and 425 kilometers north of Terrace, British Columbia. Access to the site during construction and operations would be via an upgraded 120 kilometer gravel road that joins the Stewart Casier Highway 37, directly south of Deese Lake. In addition, a 1000 meter long airstrip is located about 10 kilometers to the northwest of the mine sites, First Nations and local communities. You have to have a relationship with the local communities in First Nations and Kucho is all over it. You can see here, the Kucho project is located within the traditional territories of the Taltan Nation and Casca Denonation. The closest community to the mine site is Deese Lake. Traditional use of lands and resources in the vicinity of the project have been documented for both the Taltan Nation and Casca Denonation. Kucho Copper is committed to working and consulting with the First Nations following a jointly developed consultation plan. To this end, Kucho Copper and the Taltan Nation and Casca Denonation have already signed several agreements. Kucho Copper has also initiated discussions to develop the access road to the project site in partnership with Taltan Nation and Casca Denonation. The mineral resource estimate for the Kucho project was prepared by Symiological Inc., in accordance with the current CIM standards, definitions and guidelines. With an effective date of 30 July 2021, mineral resources tabulated below are inclusive of mineral reserves. Table two is the Kucho project estimate of mineral resource inclusive of reserves effective the 30th of July 2021. So you can see all the resource classifications measured, indicated, measured plus indicated and inferred. That is the main deposit, the SO deposit, SEMEC deposit and then the combined deposit. The mineral reserve estimate for the Kucho project was an effective date of November 4, 2021 was prepared by CSA Global Limited and reported in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101. The mineral reserves are estimated using current CIM standards, definitions and guidelines. Mineral reserves for the project are a subset of the measured and indicated mineral resource. The mineral reserves are inclusive of diluting material that would be mined and delivered to the processing plant and include suitable discounting to allow for losses typically incurred during mining. This is the Kucho project mineral reserve estimate and this is effective literally this week. So you can see the mine sections, reserve classification, mineral type. So we're talking about sulfide, oxide in this chart here, run of mine, diluted grade, average NSR and contained metal. You can see the SO underground, main underground, main open pit and open pit and underground total reserves. So you can look at all considerations and project development and disclosure plan. So we're not going to go through all of it, it's a huge press release, but clearly these guys have it going on. And you can see here the ore by source and NSR, ore crushed, tonnage sources and NSR in Canadian dollars per ton. So metal revenue is astronomical. So we love finding early stage companies. This is a company that has incredible potential. This is the Kucho project open pit and underground mining statistics, including pre-production.  And the metallurgy and processing, this is the Kucho project flotation feed grades.  And table number five, Kucho project processing and concentrate production. So you can see here ore crushed, copper concentrate, copper grade, zinc grade, silver grade and gold grade, zinc concentrate. So I mean, we're talking about mining some of the best assets all within this one company. This breaks down all the infrastructure, tailings and water management and labor. This is all in the press release. So it's a massive press release. We're not going to go through all of it because it would be here all day, but we're going to go through some of the key points. Capital cost estimate. So the feasibility study aligns an initial pre-production capital cost estimate of 483 million, including an average contingency of 10.6%. Sustaining capital costs, undiscounted, including contingency over the life of the mine are estimated at 90 million. Initial open pit mining capital costs cover site developments for the pits, whole roads and stockpiles and mining to provide construction material and expose ore for processing. Initial underground capital costs include the construction of underground portal development to access the main and SO deposits and other infrastructure. The mobile mining fleets will be leased from the equipment suppliers. The initial deposit on leased equipment, typically 25%, are reflected as a capital cost with the remainder paid off over several years and treated as a mining operating cost. So they break down all the fees and costs. This is table six, the Kucho project capital cost summary. So break down the mine costs, processing plant, onsite infrastructure. Like this is a huge project with enormous potential. And I'm telling you guys with electric electrification of electric vehicles being mandated by countries all over the world to really be at a high level, 50% or higher. Depending on the country by 2030 copper is a key ingredient for electric vehicles and many other things. So I believe right now is the time for everyone to be looking at copper stocks. And that's why I think everyone should be looking at Kucho copper. This is the Kucho project operating cost summary, excluding pre production. So you can see the open pit mining costs, underground mining costs, processing costs and general and administration costs. So very expensive project, obviously mining is very expensive. But when you find a large deposit and you start pulling out those elements and you start selling them, these stocks can go berserk. And the Kucho project cash costs and all in sustaining costs. You can see there breaks it all down and concentrate selling costs. Table number nine, these are the Kucho project concentrate selling costs. Treatment charge, refinement charge for copper, refining charge for silver, refining charge for gold, penalties, transport to port, port charges, insurance and ocean freight. So they got this all figured out and royalties, a 2% NSR royalty held by Royal Gold Inc. over certain portions of the project has been applied to the cash flow models for a total of 26 million undiscounted. They break down taxes and economic analysis. So the economic analysis undertaken for the feasibility study assumes that a copper and a zinc concentrate would be produced. The copper concentrate would obtain value mainly from copper, but also from contained silver and gold. The zinc concentrate would primarily obtain value from zinc, but also gold and sometimes silver. Kucho copper intends to sell the concentrates to either traders or refineries that would not directly produce metals. Appropriate deductions for treatment, refining, transport and insurance costs are applied as summarized in table nine. Penalties for impurities and deleterious elements have been applied to the copper and zinc concentrates as noted in table nine. The analysis assumes that the project is 100% equity finance. The base case metals prices and exchange rate used in the economic evaluation of the projects are copper, 350 a pound US, zinc, $1.50 and a pound US, silver, $20 an ounce US, gold, 1600 an ounce US and exchange rate of 76. When you're comparing US to Canadian dollars, 76 cents to a dollar, one Canadian dollar is worth 76 cents US. There's no guarantee that any of the metal prices used in the base case or sensitivity case are representative of future metal prices. The results of the pre and after tax economic analysis are provided in table 10. So you can see here the contribution of the project economics by metal type is approximately 65% from copper, 23% from zinc, 6% from silver and 6% from gold. So this is table 10 Kucho project summary of economic valuation, NPV no discount with a NPV of a 7% discount and annual average net operating income. IRR and payback period. So you can see the after tax results in millions, very, very lucrative. You can see pre tax results and after tax results are extremely lucrative for Kucho copper. And this is the cash flow summary is what everyone wants to see. So the revenue from concentrate sales copper for the life of the mind could be access to $2.3 billion. Zinc could be $804 million silver, $219 million and gold $225 million. Incredible and then total revenue from concentrate sales, $3.5 billion net smelter revenue, less royalties, $2.9 billion and total operating costs of $1.1 billion with a net operating income EBITDA for the life of the mind of $1.8 billion for stock trading under a dollar in Canada. That's right. Incredible, right? I know. And you can see the net operating income EBITDA with total capital of $589 million with a net pre tax cash flow of $1.2 billion taxes of $422 million with a net after tax cash flow of $841 million. So they've got a precious metals purchase agreement, environmental studies and permitting in place. And the qualified person is Robert Sim, who's the geologist, a qualified person as defined by NI 43 101 is responsible for the estimates of the mineral resource presented in the news release and has reviewed, verified and approved the contents of this news. Huge, huge, huge. And it goes on to talk about more geologists that have also been preparing the documents, technical disclosure. So once again, about Kucho Copper, Kucho Copper is a Canadian resource development company focused on expanding and developing the Kucho high grade copper zinc project in Northern British Columbia, committed to social responsibility and the highest environmental standards. Company intends to progress the Kucho project through the feasibility study and permitting to a positive construction decision. And then it breaks down CSA global. All right, so that was the big news release. Lots of information that we just went through there. All right. Wow, we've got some questions here. Let me just go through this with you guys. Wow, I didn't see all these messages here. KW property manager, please ask SETI how, okay, that's nothing this. Why the star price and the chance to raise? Good morning, Rich TV Live. Good morning, Amanda. Huge revenues, Amanda. My title says TAT. Yeah, I don't know why my title says TAT. It's supposed to say Kucho Copper. We'll get that fixed. I don't know why they're having problems here, but we'll get that fixed. Maybe you can help me with that crypto man. You can put that in the title. That would be very beneficial if you could, because I don't know why it's doing that. All right, let me see. Maybe I can fix that because that's really odd. All right. And let's go to the, all right. I want to go to the chart. Okay, so I'm going to share with you guys the chart now. So this is a chart of Kucho Copper. I don't know what's been going on with Restream, but they've been having a lot of glitches lately. So this is the Kucho Copper chart. I want to show you guys, which is extremely impressive. So August 2020, it was at 19 cents. So this has already been a huge winner, obviously. You could see that this has been trending up from 19 cents last year to where we are today at 98 cents. So obviously that this has already been a huge multi-bagger for Canadian investors. Congratulations to anyone who got into this stock, but I believe this is just getting started because when I just talked about all the stats and broke down all the stats, we're talking about a huge opportunity here for investors. And in America, KCCFF, you could see here, the chart looks really interesting and similar, right? You could see right here, look at the chart, looks extremely similar. That's a six-month chart. If we go to the one-year chart, this is the one-year chart. So it had this huge move up to four hours and then came right back down. If we go to the six-month chart, you could see that it's made this move here from a low, low of 37 cents to where we are today at 78 cents. So clearly it's trending up, right? It's trending up. And then if we look at some other indicators, let's go and look at some other indicators. Let's look at the RSI and let's look at the MACD. So I always like to look at the RSI and the MACD. So you could see here, the RSI is definitely in a good zone, all right? You could see here that the MACD is crossing down, which is actually kind of bearish. And you could see that the RSI is kind of right in the middle of the zone, which tells me that it was up when it went up, came back down, lost steam, and now could be ready for the next leg up. And with news like this coming out and with a company like this in the copper sector, with so many assets to mine, I think we could see this go up multiple from here still. Because we just talked about how they could potentially be mining for millions, hundreds of millions, and potentially billions of dollars of assets in the ground, primarily copper and zinc, some gold, some silver, and other elements as well. But you could clearly see that this is a chart that is extremely bullish and trending up. And that's what we look for. We look for stocks that are trending up, or that are really good growing companies that are on a dip where we can buy at a good price. That's what we're looking for. And that's what we think we have found here with Kucho Copper. So those are the charts. All right. All right, went through the news, went through the charts. Now, what I want to do is we want to go through the fundamentals. Yeah, I don't know why the title didn't update. I've changed the title, but we'll get that changed. We'll get that fixed. Not sure what happened there. A little bit of a glitch here on restream. So this is the Kucho Copper deck we're going to share with you now. I'm going to share with you the Kucho Copper deck. All right. And we're going to get into the specifics and the fundamentals of the company. Okay. The news broke down most of the information on Kucho Copper. Let's go through the company deck. 35 pages. So we're not going to go through all of it, but you can see their Kucho Copper Zinc Feasibility Study headline results, robust project economics. And we went through most of this, but you can see it very clearly. 11 year open pit and underground mine life, high grade mineral resource, 22.8 million tons of copper, 12.9 million tons of inferred copper and 1.1 billion tons of copper and zinc combined 460 million pounds of copper and zinc. So really unbelievably large potential here significant leverage to rising metal prices. You could see the robust economics at base case metal prices. So you could see here the potential is enormous. We've gone through a lot of this already, but this will just reiterate some of the key facts. Now this is where I like to look at here. The economics of the company share price in the last 12 months. You could see that the stock's gone from 25 cents to a dollar and capital share structure, 98 million shares issued outstanding 8.5 million stock options, 15 million warrants. So fully diluted about 120 million shares and share ownership 10% capstone, 7.4% Wheaton big names and 5% management. That's the share structure and breakdown and Wheaton provides over 100 million financing package precious metals stream us 7 million provided to fund the feasibility study us 58 million for development capital up to an additional us 20 million towards development capital if CUTU expands to a 4500 ton PD operation ongoing cash cash payment equal to 20% of the application spot price stream will decrease to 66.67% of gold and silver production and you can see the metal percent contributed to revenue and base case metal prices and a developmental development friendly region with a number of major projects in various phases of development and construction with local skilled workforce. I'm telling you it's a huge huge huge potential here guys. I like I love to bring you guys good quality companies. I'm telling you guys right now this this company is extremely high quality and you can see here a developmental friendly region with a number of major projects in various phases of development and construction with local skilled workforce and I've spoken to the CEO and he's extremely excited about what they're doing and there's a ton of potential. So I think everyone needs to be aware of what they're doing. Everyone needs to be aware of what's going on here. The potential is absolutely outstanding. You could see here the towel 10 and cascan data agreements talked about how they need to be working with the people that are on the land and they're doing that. So that is extremely vital to have good relationships with the people in and around the land that you are mining in. Kucho is an accessible project with onsite and nearby infrastructure situated within moderate terrain. So you can see here we talked about some of this accessibility port facilities existing field camp and First Nations and the feasibility study headline reads and results which we broke down most of these already but you're welcome to take a look at them again. Huge huge huge potential just enormous potential. And an efficient infrastructure layout. So you could see the entire layout of the infrastructure how everything is situated and the Kucho project mine workings look like this and the Kucho copper development timeline feasibility study and construction decision. Kucho project covers 90% of the prospective Kucho formation rocks the Kucho deposit and the Kucho copper strong upside potential which we believe to be extremely extremely undervalued underappreciated and underexposed despite the fact that they've already been a rocket we feel like they can go much much higher. No significant exploration on the property since 1990 multiple repeated VMS sulfide horizons are underexplored which leads the company to believe that they're on the verge of something enormous absolutely enormous copper developers feasibility study reread opportunity so you could see the opportunity here and I am very bullish on copper and upcoming catalyst so obviously when you're looking into a stock you always want to know what are the upcoming catalyst this is a key focus point so obviously they just did their feasibility study that's what we're talking about today upcoming catalyst include opportunities access road funding resource reserve expansion improved application of or shorter technology higher metal prices potential to increase reserve base and permitted milestones permitting process processing progressing with commencement of economic participation agreement negotiations with First Nations near mine expansion planning for near mine expansion program including areas around main and summit lenses to grow the existing resource and illustrate potential for further mine life extension and original exploration planning for ongoing systematic exploration of several underexplored greenfield targets no significant exploration done on the property since 1990 high priority targets identified including documented sulfide horizons V10 conductors and strongly altered volcanic rocks and the management team I've interviewed Vince Sorachi president and CEO and director and very impressed with him stay tuned to the interview it should be coming out soon 25 years of experience in capital markets raised over 250 million in equity and debt financings very impressive prior roles included founder president and CEO of various private and public resource companies so obviously doing a good job and this is the rest of the team all right and the board of directors and advisory board so a very strong team with many many years of success and winners and especially in the mining sector so really really starts at a team and right here Kucho copper a clear path to production so you can see here they have a clear path to production and when you're investing in something you want to know that they're undervalued they're underappreciated they're under exposed and where are they going this breaks down the potential for the company and clearly a clear path to production a clear path to revenue growth and hopefully a clear path to a lot of profitability and price appreciation for you the investors strong financial support major shareholders capstone mining and wheat and precious metals support with financing package of 100 million Canadian over 34 million already invested so my goodness like there's a lot of money already been put into this and obviously they believe that the upside is tremendous all right that's all the contact details if you want to get in contact with the company if you guys have any questions and technical information feasibility study overview we went through most of this already and estimate mineral resources we went through all of this as well through this so just pretty much going through some of the stuff that we ready and we went through this as well so left through most of this stuff already it's just reiterating reiterating everything that we've already talked about and we talked about this as well so so this is a lot of stuff we already went through so left to know what you guys think of Kucho copper very bullish on copper and the potential for this project is absolutely outstanding and that's why they've obviously done extremely well while the stock has done really well the question is where does it go from here and we went through the cash flow summary extremely impressive cash flow summary so definitely the question is where does it go from here I think this is a company that has a long way to go considering they're just getting started and I'd love to know your opinion on Kucho copper I'm a big fan of copper and if you like copper stocks you need to also be aware of Kucho copper KC in Canada KCC FF in America we brought you winner after winner after winner on rich picks daily we've got a rich pick section we break down over picks there we've done about 230 picks in the last couple years our average pick is up over 300% so we've had a really good

copper corp KC in Canada KCC FF in America don't sleep on it it's a big winner and I'm out peace


Today, I want to share with you a really interesting application. This application is called Wiki and it's actually spelled W-I-K-E, at least I think is probably meant to be pronounced Wiki. It is essentially a Wikipedia standalone application. It is a Wikipedia reader designed for the GNOME desktop. That is how the developers of this particular application describe it. It is a Wikipedia reader for the GNOME desktop environment. Although technically, you don't have to be on GNOME to use it. I'm not running GNOME. And honestly, the application looks and feels and runs just fine. I installed Wiki from the AUR, the Arch User Repository. Wiki is also packaged as a flatback. You can find it over on FlatHub. So you should have no problems getting this running on practically in a Linux distribution. Now this is a GTK4 application using lib-add-weta-theming and I got to say it looks pretty sharp. Now I don't really like this blinding white theme and I know those of you watching the video right now are probably hating me showing the default theme. So let's go ahead and get into some of the theming. So that's the sidebar button there. But this one right here, the little I, you can go ahead and choose from the default white theme. Then you've got this yellowish theme or kind of beige color theme. And then you've got your standard dark kind of theme. And this is what I'm going to continue with for the rest of the video. Now one of the cool things about Wikipedia, the site, it's such a large site that has like 300 different languages available as far as translations of the articles and things. You can see 6.6 million articles are found in the English language, which is what we're looking at. But if you wanted to, you could go in here and filter the languages. You could change to any language you want. And of course, you've got the search bar here. So if I search for Linux, let's go to the Linux Wikipedia page. And that's kind of cool. You've got forward and backwards buttons here. So if I go back, I can do that. I can also hit the plus sign here for a new tab. And now I get this blank page here where I can search Wikipedia or I can just click and get the main page back. Or if I wanted to, I could have chosen to get a random page. So let me open another tab. And this time I'm going to choose the random article and the random article that comes up looks like waterfall furniture. I've never heard of that, but apparently it's art deco furniture. Now earlier, when I accidentally hit the sidebar, if I hit the sidebar on purpose this time, you can see that any article that has headings, you can quickly navigate using the headings. So if I want to go down to the references for this page, it'll take me to the bottom. Actually, this is not a very lengthy page. But for some pages in Wikipedia, you will have a very lengthy page. Let's go back to the Linux page because I know that one's quite large. And you have a lot of headings here. So a lot of things we could click on. For example, market share and uptake, I could quickly navigate to that part of the page. Now I've currently got three tabs open. If you want to navigate the tabs with the keyboard, they do have key bindings. There's actually several key bindings available for this application. Control tab will cycle through the tab. So control tab will get me to the next tab. Control tab again will get me to the next tab. Control tab. If you wanted to go in the reverse direction, control shift tab. So control shift tab takes me back the other direction. If you want to get a list of all the available key bindings, do control shift slash. Control shift slash is really control plus the question mark, but the question mark is shift slash. And you can see here are all of the key bindings. Some of the more useful ones is navigating through the tabs and also cycling forward and backwards on the pages. So if I click forward, maybe I want to read the page about desktop computers. If I do alt and then the left arrow, I can go back, it says can't access Wikipedia. I guess it had a problem rendering that page for a second. I don't know if the internet cut out just for a second. But now if I do alt plus the left arrow, I'll go back. Alt plus the left arrow, I'll go back again. Alt right arrow, I'll go forward in the history. If I want a random article, I can do alt R for random. And I get cool, cool tune, which is a music video game. Never heard of that one either. All kinds of things to discover on Wikipedia. Now you will notice that there is not a URL bar here inside Wiki. So you can't really copy the link to a particular page, at least not the traditional way where you go to the URL bar and copy it, but it does have that functionality in the menu here. If you go into the menu, copy link to clipboard. When I click on that, you can see link copied to clipboard. Now if I open a proper web browser like the Brave browser here and I do a control V to paste, you can see it copied that URL just fine. And that did have a key binding, copy link to clipboard. Control U would have done the same thing. So if I hit control U on the keyboard, you can see once again link copied to clipboard. Some other important functionality that I'm sure you're interested in is the ability to print a page you do have in the menu system, the print button. You also have a search text field here. And of course, control F, your standard key binding for finding text also works. So control F and then you can search for anything such as, I'll search for that field just because I knew it was there, SNK, I don't know what that is, but there's how that works. One last thing I want to talk about is the little sidebar here. Now the sidebar does have a key binding. If I do control shift slash again, you can see F9 opens the sidebar. I kind of hate that that uses a function key for that, but I can do that. I can do F9 to get the sidebar. By default, you're going to get your headers for the article, right? So all the headers and sub headers so you can quickly navigate the article. But if you wanted to, you could also change language. So you've got the language tab here. You also have a bookmarks tab, which I don't currently have any bookmarks added, but I could add one. And then of course, you also have history. And you can see I've got the history here. Looks like earlier today I was reading about Jerry Springer. I just learned that Jerry Springer passed away a couple of days ago. That actually kind of, that hurts my heart a little bit. Jerry Springer was a very important part of my life, especially, you know, I say about 20 years ago when his television show was really popular. He was a great man, I'm going to miss him. So that is just a little bit of what you can do with Wiki. Once again, control tab, I can go to the next tab. If I do control W, it will close that tab. Control W again will close that tab. And then of course, you've got your main controls here to close out of the application. Now, is this an application that most people will use? Do most people need a dedicated Wikipedia reader? No, I actually do view Wikipedia a lot. I mean, everybody has to view Wikipedia as such an important website. It's one of the most important websites on the web. But most people don't live in it or use it to such an extent on a daily basis. They probably need a dedicated app for it. But many people do have, especially people that often have to do a lot of research for writing and things like that. Having a dedicated Wikipedia app that actually looks and functions the way Wiki does. And I'm actually really impressed with this application. So guys, check out Wiki again. It's available as a flat pack over on FlatHub. Those of you running Arch or an Arch Linux based system, you'll find Wiki inside the AUR. Now, before I go, I need to thank a few special people.

Is it authentic or inauthentic to hide wrinkles? Now I've actually gone into my Zoom settings. My Zoom video settings has a touch of my appearance. I wanna show you something here. Let me see if it works instantly. Less wrinkles. I just turned up all the way a touch of my appearance. I'm gonna turn it all the way down.  I gotta put it back in the middle. I am slightly vain. To be honest, I've had wrinkles really early on in my life. I'm gonna say that because I was in the old soul because I was born with wrinkles. So I've been self-conscious about wrinkles since I was in junior high, to be honest. So I think I have a complex around that. But those of you who don't have a complex around your wrinkles, you don't have to, wrinkles show an old soul. So, but yeah, if you have a complex like me, then do whatever filters you need to to remove some of your wrinkles. But Zoom can touch up your appearance in the video settings below with your own Zoom.  Or keep your wrinkles and show your wisdom. And you're okay, so.


I wanted to get your take on this here. So this is from the Texas Tribune and you might've seen it, but we failed.  Now we'll dive into the story a little bit, but I just, I wanna ask you, Dylan, how shocked are you by this? Because I'm completely shocked. I thought they would revolutionize the GOP. I thought we were like just a few weeks away from Mike Pence doing a drag queen story hour, honestly, I'm very, I'm very surprised. Look, I've said this time and time again and I'll say it time and time again. If you are a gay Republican, there, it doesn't make any sense to me. The only situation where it makes sense for you to be gay Republican is if you care more about your money than you do, you having the right to marry, you having civil protections, the right to adoption, your taxpayer money not going to adoption centers that won't adopt to you, which is actually a huge issue still ongoing in this country. Any of these issues, you were choosing your tax status over that. So for very rich gays, maybe it makes sense, but for the rest of us homos, maybe not as much. So I guess for me, I'm just not surprised. Every time I see this, it's like the leopard eating, what is it, the face eating leopards party? You voted for it. I don't know how exactly you're surprised. I never thought leopards would eat my face as woman who voted for leopards eating faces party. Exactly. I remember there was this big moment in the Texas U.P. I don't know if you saw the Texas U.P. platform, it was very fanatical to say the least. And it said like being gay, it was like along the lines of being gay is abnormal and it's this and it's that. And he actually stood up and he said, this was a gay Republican at the meeting, he was one of the delegates debating if this was gonna be the platform or not. And he said, look, last time we had this in 2018, we said we weren't gonna do it. We said we weren't gonna have this in here. We negotiated it away. Now you're not. No, you're putting abnormal in here. And I know that you're about to say oh, statistical abnormality, but you're not gonna say that about the Vietnamese. You're not gonna say that about Mormons. You're not gonna say that about other people who are statistical minority when you say abnormal.  I thought we were done. And to him, he thought there was movement in the party and it has either regressed or it never really changed. And for all the people who I think are surprised by this or in the last seven years after gay marriage, the gay marriage ruling during the Republican party, that was only seven years ago.  This isn't like the 1860, like whatever referendum, like where everybody's dead. Those people are still here, right? You only had seven years for people to leave the voting poll. Like those people still exist. They're still in the party. They still have influence and they still have the money. I mean, the evangelical vote is still heavily anti-queer and that is one of the most influential, if not the most influential vote within the Republican party. It is the party that got Trump elected. There's a reason why Mike Pence was his VP pick, the same guy who was in favor of conversion therapy a form of torture for queer people. You should not be that surprised. And that same party doesn't take your interest in the consideration.  At least it's a little bit more consistent. Yeah, that's what I don't get. Like you, I understand not liking the Democratic party. I, as a leftist, do not like the Democratic party.   And here's what I think has happened because there's been debates about whether or not the GOP was shifting and changing and evolving since they haven't talked about it. But really what I think we were witnessing as Mark Joseph Stern put it, is this tactical retreat to where they know that culturally they're in the wrong and they're not gonna win over people by being bigoted and homophobic. But now they've ended that tactical retreat because more savvy fascists like Ron DeSantis have found a way to repopularize homophobia with the don't say gay bill and whatnot, to where even some Democrats in Florida, based on polls that I've seen, think that it's acceptable when they don't realize that it's actually like a modern equivalent of don't say gay, or excuse me, of don't ask, don't tell, which was the military ban, albeit for teachers. And so I think that really now that they see that they can actually say homophobic things again, and it's, I guess, somewhat acceptable, they're letting their freak flag fly. And that's kind of what we're seeing now. And just to kind of go through the subtitle of this, gay Republicans who have fought for acceptance within the Texas GOP over the past three decades, told the Texas Tribune progress has been excruciatingly slow. Many of them have left the party even as the number of log cabin Republicans in Texas continues to grow. This is really just one of those instances of people putting their own, as you said, their own class interests above their identity.  Like if they really had their way, fascism would not allow any of us to exist. So it just, it doesn't make sense to me how they continue to do this. And I wanted to get your take on the 157 Republicans who voted against same-sex marriage, to codify same-sex marriage, the Respect for Marriage Act, but there was 47 Republicans who decided to support codifying marriage equality. Even though I'm not surprised that the overwhelming majority of them voted against it, the 47 honestly did surprise me because I would expect there to be like two. Are you surprised by that or am I just like super cynical? There's one last thing on what you were just talking about with the situation around like, we're all going in a blender. What happened to Ernst Röhm? That's like, whether if you join a movement that is inherently anti-queer, like you are advocating for your own downfall at the end of the day.  And it's not the safe strategy. Now when it comes to, could you say that again in the second part? Sorry, I just, I was Googling what his name was, I forgot. No, so the 47 Republicans who voted to codify marriage equality, I'm curious, did you find that surprising because I found that surprising because I didn't expect more than like two. If you are a Republican in a swing district, I think it's gonna be hard to look a lot of like the moderate centrist types, the actual moderates in the country. Like it's gonna be hard to look them in the face and explain exactly why you voted against it. And I think a lot of this, you're gonna see a lot of Susan Collins types in this list.  You're not going to see Mike Pence or he's not even in Congress, but you're not gonna see those types in this list that just had like an epiphany. You're going to see mostly people who are in swing districts. And there's gonna be people on that list who I assume actually did change their mind. But I think it's gonna be made up of people who understand the political consequences and that even though right now the rhetoric has heated up against queer people, gay marriage was a big milestone for the community in the vast majority of Americans support gay marriage. It is a popular issue for the left gay marriages. And so the right, whether they like it or not, certain sections of it in swing districts have to accept that fact. Whether they like it or not, it's not really negotiable for them, electorally at least. Yeah, yeah. And one thing that I feared at first was that they would take away a lot more of our rights because they're so emboldened. But now there's a lot of polling showing this huge shift in the 2022 midterms from Republicans now to Democrats in terms of momentum. So they're on track to win the Senate. So I'm curious, do you think that they would maybe back off a little bit seeing as how this hurt them politically or do you think they're just gonna steam ahead as Republicans usually do? Because I genuinely don't know. Because I think that maybe some more savvy Republicans will definitely back off. But a lot of them, and we're really talking about the foaming at the mouth, feral Republicans who have barely been domesticated, like Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Green, they're gonna chug full steam ahead. But like collectively as a party, do you think that that is going to scare them or do you think they just won't give up? Okay, wait a second. The same Matt Gaetz has been domesticated as a stretch considering. I mean, don't put him around any children. Yeah, he has been domesticated. But I think for Republicans, if I was a Republican strategist, I would be number one, the devil. But number two, I would say that, look guys, okay, I understand the reaction right now for you guys is maybe to reel it in a bit. But if you guys go from okay, fine, we're kind of chill with the Gaetz now to brah, back to nevermind, we'll chill with them again.   And why they might be trading this issue for more like centristy people, they could end up alienating their enlarged part, not all of them, but many of much of their homophobic base, much of their hardcore right-wing base. If I hate to compare it to a left-wing issue, but if we had like a Democrat, I would say $15 minimum wage, nevermind.  And so, and then that means you get less fundraising, that means you get less people going out to Canvas and you don't have an energetic base, then it's gonna be a problem for you. Definitely when you're running on candidates like Trump, who largely won because of how like devoted the bases that they're determined to go out and vote. So I would say that as a, it's actually gonna be, I don't know what they're gonna do because I think there's an argument from a Republican standpoint to reel it in because you need to get those centristy.  But you don't wanna alienate that base because that base is bringing in big bucks right now. So it's hard. It's hard to know what they're gonna do. Yeah, they're having to do this balancing act and watching them tap dance around this is hilarious to me.  They're all far right. But regardless, you know, the Mitt Romney's or the Josh Hollis who pretend to be populist, they're having to show their cards and admit, yeah, I'm against civil rights. I'm not actually a populist. And I love to see them do that. I love to watch them squirm. That's like the one joy that I get.


I will let members and staff introduce themselves by speaking their names. Martha Smersky, member. Liz Pritchett, member. Dennis Smith, member. Steve Everett, member. Ben Steney, member. And Meredith Crandall, staff. Meredith, would you like to review the remote meeting procedures? I will go ahead and do that. Okay, so, all right. So this is mostly for anybody who's watching via Orca and might want to try and join in the discussion. So first off, if you're watching via Orca, you can participate in the meeting by using the Zoom platform and going to this link. And that should bring you right into the meeting. You can also call this phone number and use the meeting ID and passcode. If you have problems using this information to access the meeting, you can email me. Here I've got my email up at the same time that I'm in this meeting. So if anybody has problems accessing the meeting, please email me as I said. Also, if you're having difficulties while you're in the Zoom video conference, you can message me through the chat function in Zoom. The Zoom meeting is being recorded, but turning on your video is optional. Public testimony will be taken verbally, and the chat function should be used only for troubleshooting or logistics questions. Right now we don't have any public, and I don't believe, but just in case anybody does sign on once we're in progress. If anybody else does come on, please keep your microphone on mute when you're not speaking to reduce background noise. And if you do call in and participate by phone, you can use star 6 to mute within the Zoom feature so we know that you're muted. I'm going to skip over some of this stuff because we don't have any public here right now. If you do log in, sign in or call in and want to participate, please make sure that once the chair has recognized you to speak, that you state your name and address for the record. Oh, there's Eric. In the event the public is unable to access this meeting, and I learned about that through my email that there's people having difficulties, then the meeting will be continued to a time and place certain. If you're having connectivity issues, try turning on your video or closing other applications on your phone or computer. And then also please note that if you want to take a look at the meeting materials, you can go and download them here on this page. Please note that all votes taken during this meeting that are not unanimous will be done by roll call vote. I'll now hand the meeting back over to the chair. You're up Eric. Yes. Okay, great. Steve, there you go. Okay, good. Do I hear a motion from a committee member to approve the agenda? So moved, Eric. Do I hear a second? I second it, Martha. All in favor of the agenda, speak your names. Eric. Yes. Hannah. Anne. Steve. So the agenda is approved. And unless anybody else has anything to add, we can go to a review and approve the meeting minutes of January the fourth. Does anybody have any questions, comments or revisions to the agenda? I'm sorry to the minutes. I'm sorry. No. This is Martha. I moved to admit them the way they are. As they stand. Do we hear a second? I'll second that. Liz. All in favor of the minutes, speak your names. Martha. Eric. Liz. Hannah. Steve. Ben. So the minutes are approved for January the fourth. And unless there's any other business, we can go to 12 Main Street and informal review of the proposed city park. Is there someone there to describe it for us? Everyone, I'm here. I'm Cameron Edermeyer, the assistant city manager, and I'm really excited to review this proposal with y'all today. So the city would like to and has been approved by council to move forward to apply for a grant through ACCD, which is a state department for their better places grant. And what they're really looking for is something that can enliven and activate a space sort of in the downtown core. So one of the things that is required within this grant is that it improves your downtown core. So when staff was looking at this opportunity, we immediately thought of 12 Main, which we are now calling 16 Main just for clarity. Sorry about that. What it is is a conglomerate of three different lots. And so we were just calling it by the first lot number, but the main, the main lot that is going to be impacted is 16 Main Street. Meredith, is it all right if I share my screen to show some pictures? Cameron, before you do that, can you just clarify where that is? I'm having trouble. Yes, I'm going to show you a picture of what it looks like right now. So you'll see where I'm talking about, but it is in front of the drawing board. So if you see this picture here, this is the lot I'm talking about right behind me. This is Shaw's. This is the drawing board building. Here is the Save and Away be multi-use path. And back here is the river in a parking lot. So that's the space we're talking about. And so we've got a pretty big plan for the space. It's only a $20,000 grant, but we have really intense dreams for the space. We really want to activate it by partnering with Montpelier Alive to bring some downtown activities to it. Really thinking of like different types of cold weather activities, like an outdoor fireplace type situation. None of those are quite figured out yet, but they will be removable and temporary in nature. But mostly like a stage, things like that. The biggest issue we have is, the biggest thing that we have is bringing over Gertin Park. So I will show. Okay, that did work. I'm learning to yell. Zoom is the worst. So here are one of our proposed site plans where Joyce has been working with us to come up with a proposed site plan. It has already undergone changes, which is why this is hard to present to you in totality. But the main thing is we want to bring this Gertin Park structure over and repurpose it in this park to really activate the space and make it a welcoming environment when you come into town. Because you all know that space is really on the main drag coming into town. And right now it really doesn't serve any sort of functional purpose. So we're really looking to activate the space as an extension of our parks downtown, create a relaxing, welcoming space to sit and maybe picnic and have a space where we can do small shows or other things in partnership with not until you're alive. Another part of this would be to have a public art bit where we'd ask for local artists to submit something to be put on this building as sort of a mural or other public art as possible. We're going to be taking suggestions, but our thought is a mural to sort of turn this building into something that sort of relates to the space. The most out there suggestion is building a pump track, which is very exciting to us because it doesn't involve moving around the dirt because the site is a brown site. We know that, but we wouldn't be doing any sort of construction to the dirt itself. We wouldn't be moving things. We'd be creating on top of it, and that would be it. So we wouldn't be disturbing any of the dirt, so we wouldn't be running into any of those environmental issues. We'd really just be putting things on top of. You can see in Warren's illustration here that he did put a playground structure that will not be included in our grant proposal. Playgrounds open up a whole host of things that we can't even get to. The only liability with the playground is we just pretend that's not there. Thank you. So another exciting bit is this activates the space in the back of the parking lot as well where you can see a little bench. So Gertin Park is named for Paige Gertin's husband who passed away. So wanting to make sure that we keep the vibe of it being a memorial for Jed, that would be a solid granite bench overlooking the water. So that's still up in the air too. Paige's family is currently looking at that, but she did approve moving Gertin Park to this location. We really do want to make sure that she's involved in all the planning. So I've rambled on quite a bit. I want to just sort of hear y'all's proposed like your questions and thoughts you may have going into this. The grant is due this Friday, so we're really excited about how this timing worked out so that we could like send to y'all and get any questions or feedback that you may have. So I'm going to stop sharing so I can see all your faces while I'm talking. One thing that struck me is that there are no trees or any plantings in it. I'm just showing the plan. Right, so the plan like I said is not quite final so the landscaping is going to be dependent on what does go there. But there does, we do plan on there being some landscaping. Again, some of that is kind of limited because of the environmental impacts of the space. So we're really just going to need to do our due diligence there, figuring out what we can and cannot plan. So do you expect this to be sawed? Yes. Where's Gertin Park now? So you know where the bike path goes past Shaw's and it keeps going towards the transit center? Right before you hit that bridge that goes across the river there's a little out jutting where Gertin Park structure is. So it's sort of off the path in kind of a hidden corner if you will. Okay, thank you. What kind of uses did you have in mind for the little building? So it's a really cute little artsy pavilion type thing that has an open side. So it does allow for some vaguely covered seating. It's not completely covered. Rain can come through it, but it's a nice relaxing space for folks who are shopping who want to take a seat. Or we could also because it's open in the front use it as a impromptu stage as needed. But it's primarily a seating opportunity for folks. Montpelier Alive has also partnered with a local bench maker who uses recycled materials to create colorful benches. And that's who we intend if we get the grant to move forward with. I don't have their name in front of me. I apologize. I would suggest on the benches that particularly the ones that are on Main Street not have a back so that the people can sit facing either direction. Thank you. Interesting. I happen to be that bench maker and they are modeled after the same benches that we created for Northfield. And they do have a back, Eric, and they have an arm rest. So, for what it's worth, it's a design that we have established and created and we're going to reuse. If you have been to downtown Northfield in this past fall, you would have seen them there bright red. I'll take a drive down to look. The reason I said that is so that people that want to sit and look out at what's going on on Main Street can do that. Or that they can look on what's going on on the park because I envision both uses. Are you looking at... Go ahead, Ben. I was going to ask if you're looking at benches and picnic tables. They're both included in the design. We're going to be the most limited by price. We'll see what we can get for the budget that we do have. Making sure we're still being fair to the artists that we want to hire to do work. So that will be most of our budget, I think. But yes, they're both in the site plan. I noticed that it looks like there's a food truck parked at the back of the park. And I would suggest moving the escape ramp to some other location so it's not crowding that area around the food truck. Thank you. If you've ever been near a escape ramp when it's being actively used, it's fairly noisy and it's not a good location right next to where the food truck is. I wouldn't move that somewhere else. You could even, depending on if you're not going to put the playground equipment and the pump track, you might be able to move that into the center of the pump track. Just to consolidate that area so it's not spread out over such a large area of the park. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you. And definitely if we have to prioritize one structure over the other due to financial limitations, we'll be going with the pump track over the escape ramp for sure. And I have to tell you that this was brand new news to me. That they do make new coverings for material coverings for escape ramps and the pump tracks and stuff that are noise absorbing. So they're less loud, which I did not know. And a lot of work has been done, a lot of advancements in skate park technology. You might be able to mute the sound of the wheels on the ramp, but you can't. Not the kids? You can't mute the sound of excited kids on the ramp. Right. That's fair. Which is fine, but if you can separate that from the area where your food truck is. And it might be nice to have one of the picnic tables down near the food truck unless people want to take it and walk back towards the main street. Thank you. I feel like I heard you say this briefly, but you intend to lay sod down over that whole surface? I think that's the idea because right now we want there to be grass as soon as possible, which would be a sod. Or we could get our department to come and help us price out how much that would be. I'm sorry. Who asked that question? I couldn't see anybody. I did. Martha. Okay. Sorry. I was just wondering what all the green was. Yes. Hopefully sod. Grass at least. We'll figure it out together. We'll talk about landscaping. So hopefully, hopefully sod. We want this to be up and running by this spring. I'd like to echo what Eric said. I understand the environmental limitations. But I'd really like to see some trees there. The the pump track pump track designs are pretty designing is pretty sophisticated. And have you worked with any pump track designers? Yes. So Alec is our park director and he's been working with us on this rant. And he has partnered with groups before to make pump tracks for the city. So he has been really great about that design. Is this going to be paved? The pump track. That I can't tell you. I don't think so. Because what the underlying thing about this lot is that this sort of a placeholder for council can decide to do whatever council wants to do with this lot, right? In a couple of years, they might decide they want to sell it to a business or use it for some other function. And so we need to be as responsive to that as possible. So we want this to be an open and engaging space for as many folks as possible. But also understanding that council could decide two years from now that they don't want to do it anymore, right? So anything more permanent like that is probably not the answer. I think a lot of this is going to either be dirt piles that we could very easily knock over or, you know, like the pump track down by what's that road called? Y'all know what I'm talking about, right? The new pump track. Coming through again. Yes, thank you. So we're not going to looking for things like everything can be bolted down because, you know, we've got to be responsive to the plane issue there. But it won't be permanent as a paved anything. Is parks going to take care of it? Yes, parks has a plan to manage it. Yes. Pump tracks require some maintenance. Yes, sir. I was speaking with Dan Groberg about this briefly a little bit and he had mentioned the idea of moving in a bunch of big boulders. I don't know if that idea is thrown out, but I like that as a climbing structure. You see it on Church Street where kids love to climb on them and it's like a fairly, you know, easy to quote unquote build and just artful and interesting kind of way of allowing people to climb and sit and be. But maybe you thought of that and moved it out. Yes, a few boulders are included in this site plan. I think maybe in the one I showed you, there were a little hidden. Let me pull another one back up and we can stare at it together. Hold on. I like that idea, Ben. Do you know the story behind the boulders on Church Street? We have some boulders here. We have some boulders here. We have some boulders here. Mother Earth's reemerging after the weight of the traffic has taken off the street. Oh, Church Street is pretty remarkable. I spent a while understanding all the sort of longitude, latitude cities on Church Street one night. It's a pretty serious piece of art, actually. We've been successful in the country. Yeah. Can we see that site plan again, please? Oh, yep. This drive, is this the way people are going to access the back lot, the Jacob's lot back there? Yes. And so the driveway has no bearing on this application or this plan. The driveway is established by other projects that DPW is finishing up now. And it is too lane, I assume. Yeah, it's an in and out. But the part done by the river is part of the project. Yes. All of these lots are the cities. But the pavement work has already been established by another DPW project. Yeah, I would think more benches down close to the river would be nice. That's probably a cost factor. Yeah, it only is a $20,000 grant. So we're working the best we can. It always expanded, so. Is the placement of Gertin Park intentional for some function like that? No, so like I said, I apologize for talking over you. Sorry. Zoom is very difficult. I can't see here. Anyway, so we actually asked Ward and his final drawing to move the park so that the back of the structure faces the sidewalk. So if y'all are familiar with the structure, it doesn't have a solid back. It has like slats so you can still see through it. So we asked him to turn that towards the sidewalk and then open up Gertin, like the Gertin Park structure to the greater parks as that performance space ad hoc performance space. And so that when you're in the park structure itself, like when you're there in Gertin Park structure, you can see the rest of the 16 main lot. So this is sort of where we engines it being, but rotated facing the park. Yeah, I like that. I think it makes more sense lost the way it is now. And again, I'm sorry. I don't have an updated second plan to show you guys right now. Are we going to get a look at this again when more of the designs are finalized? I believe so. Meredith, can you walk me through what approval steps we'd need? Which approval steps you need really depends on what your final design is going to be. Okay.  That's, you know, even though it's okay to put it one place, we're moving it. I just, it would all depend on what exactly you're doing there. You know, because the, like the pump track out on Cummings needed a permit, but that had to do with its specific location. I would need to look at distances from the river, all of that stuff. Perfect. I think, you know, once you've gotten your grant approval and have a closer to final design, bring it back and I can figure out where, what the actual approval process would require. I think that we'd probably want to bring it back to design review for landscaping at the very least. Once you have those ideas, because landscaping is something that design review has authority over, whether it's a municipal project or not. All right. Well, you heard it from Meredith. And you and I can talk about that too. Once you have some ideas before it even gets through to the DRC process about what actually, you know, makes sense with the rags and any ideas you and I might go back and forth to fine tune stuff too. Great. Thank you. It looks good to me. Thank you. We're very excited about the opportunity. I really hope that we, we are afforded this grant. Yeah, it looks like you're trying to do it. Trying to do a lot with not a whole lot of money. So I applaud your effort there.  So it's hard to be too picky about it at the moment with what, what you're trying to accomplish with the money you have. One advantage of many of the components of the park is that they are movable so that as you set it up and it starts being used, you can tweet with the exception of the pump track. That's a really good observation. Thank you. Yeah. I'm going to sign off because I have another park commission meeting. I want to go to a six o'clock. Okay. Does anybody else have anything to add as far as comments, suggestions or questions regarding the park? Thank you guys so much. I really do appreciate it. I'm going to go ahead and say thank you. Thank you guys so much. I really do appreciate it. I'm going to, I've got another team meeting this week before we turn it in and we'll be discussing all of your suggestions and I really do appreciate it. Thank you very much for coming and good luck with the project. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Did you have anything else and Meredith to add? Nope. Next to me. Next meeting. Then our next meeting is February the first. And do I hear a motion to adjourn? I motion to adjourn. Second, Liz. All in favor of adjournment speak your names. Martha. Liz. Hannah. Stan. Steve. So meeting is adjourned. Have a nice evening. Thank you. Good night. Good night.
