00:06:58,979 --> 00:07:07,380
okay moving on to item number four the
consent agenda

47
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:12,120
are there any comments discussions
questions or Mr Barton would you like to

48
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:15,840
give an explanation with that I would
thank you madam chair on the desk before

49
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:19,979
you there's a letter that just came in
the mail today from Cumberland Plateau

50
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:25,259
it's an additional Bill that'll have to
be paid this month for five thousand one

51
00:07:22,259 --> 00:07:29,220
forty five eighteen and this is for the
annual of Virginia DEQ Financial

52
00:07:27,539 --> 00:07:33,240
Assurance for the Dickinson County
transfer station Mr Peters uh you

53
00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:37,259
probably share more about it since you
are

54
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:43,979
remember on the community yeah so so
what this is is we have to keep funds

55
00:07:40,979 --> 00:07:50,639
on deposit to cover in case we had to
close down the transfer stations

56
00:07:46,919 --> 00:07:56,699
and this year there was an increase of
about nineteen thousand dollars

57
00:07:53,099 --> 00:07:59,759
so we're part of an authority with two
other counties

58
00:07:58,020 --> 00:08:04,800
they're taking the remainder of some
funds they had left over

59
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:08,520
and adding that to it so then our
contribution because it's split equally

60
00:08:06,539 --> 00:08:13,160
it's an administrative cost each of the
counties has to pay

61
00:08:10,139 --> 00:08:19,680
and that that's um
5144 one to four 145 and 18 cents are

62
00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:22,440
laughed at that thank you Mr Peterson
looking at the letter it shows the

63
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,319
authority paid three thousand seven
eighty nine out of your balance and

64
00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:30,060
looks like the each of the Three
Counties is paying the 51.45-18 so

65
00:08:27,740 --> 00:08:34,620
that's the only addition we had as far
as with the bills it just came today so

66
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,339
playing attend any other questions
everyone has of course the Gin is a

67
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,880
little bit different layout we have the
consent agenda so all these items the

68
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,839
approval of expenditures County
administrators report the drug core

69
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:49,920
Community work program report the animal
control report and the fire rescue

70
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:54,300
report would all be approved together uh
with one motion and the new reports that

71
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:58,019
are in there from drug court animal
control and fire rescue we will have

72
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:01,440
more information on those next year next
month there's some items that we would

73
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,940
like to have that they're going to be
tracking and providing

74
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:08,459
in future months so any feedback you all
have on those reports or anything else

75
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,800
you'd like to see on them please let me
know and I'll make sure it gets included

76
00:09:09,899 --> 00:09:13,980
so
there's also as we move along some

77
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,080
additional reports that'll be added to
this from other departments as we move

78
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080
along so

79
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:24,320
I make a motion that we approve all of
the

80
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:31,519
a b c d e
including the

81
00:09:26,779 --> 00:09:31,519
5145-18 to be paid also

82
00:09:33,959 --> 00:09:38,959
okay thank you and uh a second for that

83
00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:49,800
did we approve the agenda
yeah we did okay you made the motion

84
00:09:44,820 --> 00:09:54,660
yeah okay well so we added that one the
revolution yeah so uh at least where I

85
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:59,660
think we are we're still approving the
agenda

86
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:59,660
we're not she's I think Miss Wilson

87
00:10:05,540 --> 00:10:09,320
the items in this

88
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:34,019
no problem
the way I understand a consent agenda

89
00:10:32,220 --> 00:10:38,040
they're all in there for our knowledge
or our records and once they're approved

90
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:43,200
or whatever they become public records
that anybody can see them but we vote on

91
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:47,279
them as a group in the consent
consistency yes and if there was a

92
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,980
concern that you've identified you
should bring it up right recurring

93
00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:51,980
non-controversial items yeah

94
00:10:53,330 --> 00:11:00,360
[Music]
uh expenditures this is the expenditures

95
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,880
in the green sheets that we have to go
over yeah yeah and I've made a motion

96
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:10,260
for the extra
5145 18 that we need to pay yes okay we

97
00:11:08,579 --> 00:11:17,579
have a motion on the floor and a second
to approve the consent agenda a through

98
00:11:13,019 --> 00:11:22,680

159
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:55,680
workshop so I just wanted to know if
there's another one scheduled or what

160
00:16:53,639 --> 00:17:00,480
may have come out of the the previous
one right and on the previous Workshop

161
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:05,760
we don't have another one scheduled yet
we will be scheduling one and we did

162
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,240
consider all the requests I think for my
memory I don't have my stuff with me but

163
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:14,640
you had a couple in one for a truck and
one for something else

164
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:18,540
but at this time I don't think that we
approved anything on Sandy Ridge right

165
00:17:16,439 --> 00:17:23,520
now okay well the most important would
be the SCBA is because we still haven't

166
00:17:20,939 --> 00:17:28,559
heard anything from FEMA right on the
grant that we sent in

167
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:32,580
and um so that's something that you know
I'll be checking on right I just I just

168
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,179
want to touch base with you and see if
there was any if you had an idea when

169
00:17:34,679 --> 00:17:38,940
you might be having another one right
now let's just says we get one scheduled

170
00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:43,980
so we don't have anything on the books
right now though okay thank you correct

171
00:17:41,220 --> 00:17:48,480
me if I'm wrong so thank you
your requests are still there

172
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:53,400
right it's because they're not approved
yet doesn't mean they may not get

173
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:58,020
approved later right we've we're
carrying things on those books because

174
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:02,400
we we've got a while to spend this money
right and we got to be careful that we

175
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:08,280
don't just
use it all up in case something happens

176
00:18:05,220 --> 00:18:12,360
that's more critical or and generally
speaking the fire departments is one of

177
00:18:10,679 --> 00:18:16,679
those areas where we have more critical
things right and you know I can also

178
00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:21,120
tell you straight off that Wise County
is not going to try to contribute

179
00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:26,520
anything to that effort as far as the
cbas go

180
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:30,660
because we're not located in Wise County
so I have a lawyer checking in on that

181
00:18:28,679 --> 00:18:35,220
to see what the legal part of it is that
I might be able to pursue

182
00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:39,000
of actually putting in a substation in
Watts County

183
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:42,419
then they can't say we're not located in
Wise County

184
00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:44,539
thank you all thank you thank you thank
you

185
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:50,039
Colleen

00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,840
clothes

187
00:18:57,539 --> 00:19:04,200
I'll make a motion that will close the
public comment Madam chair

188

favor please say aye aye aye as well in
your pose okay

191
00:19:15,660 --> 00:19:26,400
down to item number six which is so we
have three people here for our meetings

192
00:19:23,820 --> 00:19:31,280
um the first one is Rachel Patton with
Southwest Virginia Workforce Development

193
00:19:28,980 --> 00:19:31,280
board

194
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:38,100
good evening thank you all for having me
here tonight

195
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:43,080
um as you all are aware uh last year
Dickinson County awarded the Southwest

196
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:48,059
Virginia Workforce Development board
some arpa funding to cover a number of

197
00:19:46,020 --> 00:19:52,320
initiatives I know that you've talked to
some of my co-workers this summer about

198
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:56,820
the youth initiative and the cars to
work program I'm here tonight to talk

199
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:03,360
about the small business empowerment
expansion grant you all gave us fifty

200
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:08,220
thousand dollars uh to uh administer
that Grant in Dickinson County and it's

201
00:20:05,460 --> 00:20:13,020
modeled after another initiative that we
have in a couple of other counties that

202
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:16,500
we serve with Foundation funding and the
foundation only serves those two

203
00:20:14,460 --> 00:20:20,700
counties and we've long looked for a way
to replicate that program in other

204
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:26,940
counties because it's been so successful
and so this the SB program as we call it

205
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,660
focuses on small existing businesses
because in my role as Director of

206
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:33,960
Business Services as I'm working with
businesses that's more of the things

207
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,440
that I was repeatingly repeatedly
hearing from small businesses is listen

208
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:40,919
there's a lot of funding out there to
help with startups and there's a lot of

209
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:45,059
funding out there to help with the big
guys when they go to expand but I've had

210
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:49,740
my small business here you know for five
years for three years for 10 years and I

211
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:53,100
could bring another product or service I
could hire someone I could expand my

212
00:20:51,780 --> 00:20:58,500
business if there was a little bit of
funding and so that's how we developed

213
00:20:55,500 --> 00:21:04,559
the SB initiative and so in Dickinson
County we had fifty thousand dollars

214
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,740
um to provide assistance to small
businesses and so what we did is we

215
00:21:06,179 --> 00:21:14,280
worked with the Dickinson County Chamber
of Commerce and uh Rita Sarat we set up

216
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:17,820
our application process like I said our
definition of small business was a

217
00:21:16,020 --> 00:21:22,140
business located in Dickinson County
that was an existing business with 50 or

218
00:21:20,460 --> 00:21:27,720
fewer employees
and we opened up the application process

219
00:21:24,539 --> 00:21:34,440
in October November of last year we had
13 applicants for that funding we were

220
00:21:31,380 --> 00:21:38,700
able to provide seven Awards there were
four businesses that received the entire

221
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,960
ten thousand dollars and there were
three businesses that got partial Awards

222
00:21:40,919 --> 00:21:46,919
so we tried to stretch that funding as
far as we could to help as many

223
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:51,179
businesses as we could and so when I say
expansion there's a number of things

224
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:57,120
that that funding can be used for it can
be used for equipment purchases it can

225
00:21:53,520 --> 00:22:03,360
be used for technical assistance types
of things or capacity building so think

226
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:07,740
marketing HR accounting practices you
know purchasing a piece of equipment to

227
00:22:04,919 --> 00:22:13,799
add a new product or service and so some
of the things that we did we helped an

228
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:18,720
accounting firm purchase a tax software
and equipment to be able to expand their

229
00:22:16,260 --> 00:22:23,460
services to provide Tax Services to
businesses and individuals in Dickinson

230
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,500
County so that's a new service that you
know if you're going to live in

231
00:22:24,059 --> 00:22:30,620
Dickinson County or have a business in
Dickinson County you need to have access

232
00:22:27,419 --> 00:22:36,900
to we helped another business
be able to purchase equipment a health

233
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:43,080
and wellness business purchase equipment
to expand their facilities to to include

234
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:46,679
occupational therapy so it's my
understanding are they currently done

235
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:51,360
Physical Therapy but for occupational
therapy folks were having to travel

236
00:22:48,419 --> 00:22:55,340
outside of the outside of the the county
and so now those Services they're

237
00:22:53,700 --> 00:23:00,120
currently working to hire that position
but they're going to be able to offer

238
00:22:57,299 --> 00:23:05,600
those Services here in Dickinson County
we helped a couple of businesses be able

239
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:10,500
to purchase QuickBooks
software and and the things that they

240
00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:15,179
need to use to be able to manage the
accounting for their business because we

241
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:19,500
know that to be able to to scale a
business you know sometimes I find that

242
00:23:17,460 --> 00:23:23,880
small businesses are you know using
notebooks or Excel sheets to be able to

243
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:28,320
do accounting when you start hiring
folks and having to do payroll you

244
00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:34,559
really need to have QuickBooks in place
to be able to to manage that we've also

245
00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:38,340
helped with a couple of other equipment
purchases a loader for a Logging company

246
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:42,500
that was going to increase production
and allow them to hire additional

247
00:23:40,260 --> 00:23:48,179
additional people
so I just wanted to come tonight to just

248
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:53,100
express my things to you all for
providing that funding the businesses

249
00:23:50,820 --> 00:24:00,360
that I have talked to have asked that
I've expressed their gratitude they were

250
00:23:57,179 --> 00:24:04,380
as founded and just honored that you all
recognized how much that their

251
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:09,000
contribution meant to Dickinson County
and were able to provide some funding

252
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:13,980
for them to provide more products and
services and jobs in Dickinson County

253
00:24:11,179 --> 00:24:18,059
I'd like to also think Rita Surat with
the Dickinson County Chamber of Commerce

254
00:24:15,659 --> 00:24:22,980
one of the requirements that we have for
the grant is that if you are awarded we

255
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:27,120
ask that you join the digital Chamber of
Commerce simply because that we think

256
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:31,919
that helps you get connected with a
network of other small businesses that

257
00:24:29,220 --> 00:24:36,539
can help you and also we know that Rita
is a terrific resource for helping UK

258
00:24:34,740 --> 00:24:40,919
get connected to other grants and to
help your business grow and so but she's

259
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:44,760
been a tremendous partner in this as
well

260
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:49,380
and I guess lastly I just want to add
that I just appreciate your all Support

261
00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:54,120
over the years I've been with the
Workforce Development for nearly a

262
00:24:51,179 --> 00:24:58,559
decade and I cannot think of an instance
when we have ever approached Dickinson

263
00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:04,620
County with a project or an initiative
or an idea that you all have not jumped

264
00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:08,460
on board and been eager participants in
and we've been able to do some great

265
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:13,380
work in Dickinson County because of that
and so we just really appreciate your

266
00:25:11,460 --> 00:25:18,900
support of our efforts in the region and
in Dickinson County and um you know look

267
00:25:16,679 --> 00:25:24,900
forward to seeing what else we can do to
help Dickinson County be successful we

268
00:25:21,659 --> 00:25:29,100
do our best work in the counties that
partner with us as closely as Dickinson

269
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:33,539
County does
so I'd be glad if you all have any

270
00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:38,000
questions that I can answer
I have one sure

271
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,000
um

272
00:25:38,340 --> 00:25:45,960
I am very happy and I think it's a great
investment in which the work you guys

273
00:25:44,159 --> 00:25:50,520
are doing is awesome but what I was
going to ask is

274
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:54,600
are we collecting any data on
how many people are being employed and

275
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:58,919
stuff like that because it might be good
metrics for you to have that'd be good

276
00:25:57,299 --> 00:26:02,520
to justify
other things coming down the road

277
00:26:00,659 --> 00:26:07,440
because there's other funding agencies
that are involved in this community

278
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:12,779
we're in four counties that we might be
able to apply for for other things yes

279
00:26:10,260 --> 00:26:17,220
so we actually do return on investment
for this typically I allow them a year

280
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:20,700
out and to be able to kind of start
measuring some of those metrics so I'll

281
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:23,760
be approaching them next year and asking
for those metrics like what was your

282
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,120
call savings
um you know where we've increased

283
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:31,919
efficiency or built capacity in areas
how many employees how many jobs does

284
00:26:29,220 --> 00:26:36,659
this retainer add how did your sales
increase and see if we can measure some

285
00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:40,440
of those things we will be gathering
that data and we'll be glad to share

286
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:44,760
that back with you all and you know to
see if that can be helpful in bringing

287
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,720
additional funding to Dickinson County
for small businesses

288
00:26:49,460 --> 00:26:56,460
you said you awarded seven is that
correct

289
00:26:53,840 --> 00:27:00,120
did they did they all get the same
amount of money or is different no there

290
00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:03,240
were four that got the total ten
thousand dollar award

291
00:27:01,860 --> 00:27:06,840
um you know based on the things that
they asked for and then we did three

292
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:10,440
partial Awards
um to try to stretch the funding as far

293
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,679
as we could so you have used all that
fifty thousand dollars we have about

294
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:18,659
five thousand dollars left that's
encumbered but not spent out I'm working

295
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:22,440
with the the last few businesses to get
those things those items purchased and

296
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:29,220
get that spent out we're just something
that I don't know if they uh the marina

297
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:32,700
down here has uh I have been down there
two or three times and I'm trying

298
00:27:30,659 --> 00:27:38,880
because I see it on the vceter board
they have applied for a C Grant uh which

299
00:27:36,299 --> 00:27:43,440
is a ten thousand dollars I think unless
they lower it down some because I'm

300
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:48,179
getting so many requests but I assume
they didn't apply for that they had been

301
00:27:45,539 --> 00:27:55,440
granted a permit to sell food
so that is a good for the marina we you

302
00:27:52,140 --> 00:28:00,179
know we need to really stress the marine
and the John Flanagan Dam because that

303
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:04,440
that sound Marina within Seven Counties
I guess so I would be glad to reach out

304
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:08,220
to them and see if there's ways that I
can get them connected I wish you could

305
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:13,080
help them if you can it's Sarah and
Michael o'quian that are running the

306
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:16,440
marina and they're really trying they
put everything they have into that

307
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:22,860
Marina they sold their homes they're
living in a camper and uh I would really

308
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:27,840
like to see it Prosper I mean I think
they had last time I was down there had

309
00:28:24,539 --> 00:28:34,200
50 uh boats that were moored there for
the summer and they can do as high as

310
00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:39,240
96. I believe it is but uh they they
really need finally I believe in

311
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:44,340
November they will be awarded the VC to

we're here to bring you up to date as
best we can on the things that's been

336
00:30:40,980 --> 00:30:48,000
going on with Spearhead
we recently had the official opening of

337
00:30:45,419 --> 00:30:51,179
our Sportsman's complex complex in
snowball holler

338
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:56,100
he's well attended
we had delegate loftner

339
00:30:53,760 --> 00:31:01,620
and senator hackworth
people from all over the region

340
00:30:57,659 --> 00:31:06,360
including a delegation from Lee County
if you all haven't had an opportunity

341
00:31:04,140 --> 00:31:12,299
to go up to see the Sportsman's complex
so I certainly invite you to do so

342
00:31:09,419 --> 00:31:17,279
is changing all the time
for the better

343
00:31:14,399 --> 00:31:22,860
we're very very proud of it
it's something it's increasingly drawing

344
00:31:19,980 --> 00:31:28,740
people from throughout the region
like about two months ago

345
00:31:26,399 --> 00:31:33,919
we had a young man
from Bluefield

346
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:42,179
who had been a three-time state champion
help me out Joe what was he shooting

347
00:31:37,340 --> 00:31:48,000
trap shooting and keep them all straight
first time he did it

348
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:52,100
he shot 198 out of 200.
I don't know what the second time was

349
00:31:50,340 --> 00:31:57,059
third time
199 out of 200. oh good shot he just

350
00:31:56,220 --> 00:32:02,880
went
to the Nationals Indiana

351
00:32:01,140 --> 00:32:09,360
amen second
we sponsored him young man I think now

352
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:15,600
has turned 15.
it's remarkable what talent that we have

353
00:32:13,140 --> 00:32:21,299
in our own area
and no matter where a person falls on

354
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:26,520
the Second Amendment
I think it is wonderful to have a place

355
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:31,980
dedicated
that is safely managed

356
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:37,140
and in a good area where it's not going
to be obtrusive to anyone the noise any

357
00:32:35,460 --> 00:32:43,080
of that
but I'm going to get Melissa and Joe

358
00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:46,700
bring you up to speed on other aspects
that we're working on in the area

359
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:54,840
foreign
Melissa thanks for having us um one

360
00:32:52,980 --> 00:32:59,940
thing I'd like to mention is that we are
in the running for a big Grant to finish

361
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:03,360
that up there I think we should know
something maybe within the next couple

362
00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:08,220
weeks that would allow us to everybody
that comes up there and I know Josh and

363
00:33:05,220 --> 00:33:11,940
Ron have have shot up there
um says it's it's a diamond in the rough

364
00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:14,640
and that we just lack that little two
percent which is where we need to be and

365
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:19,019
hopefully that Grant will let us get
golf carts finish putting in the

366
00:33:16,620 --> 00:33:23,100
shooting stations we need we're doing uh
we started on

367
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:27,779
what is it called
uh shooting matches I have to think I

368
00:33:25,740 --> 00:33:32,220
don't know all these terms I'm learning
um so it's a lot that we have going on

369
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:36,360
up there uh the Andy Rose if you are
familiar with a d he has come to work

370
00:33:34,260 --> 00:33:39,960
with us a great asset
so I encourage everybody to reach out to

371
00:33:38,399 --> 00:33:43,559
Andy he's helping with events and he's
managing the facility up there Andy has

372
00:33:42,539 --> 00:33:48,600
done great we've been working with
running in prison we've recently worked

373
00:33:46,140 --> 00:33:52,620
and been approved with camp 18.
uh they are going to provide us a

374
00:33:50,580 --> 00:33:56,640
spearhead crew five days a week so
that's going to be tremendous for us two

375
00:33:54,899 --> 00:34:00,840
of those days I think at least one maybe
two will be spent at the Sportsman

376
00:33:59,159 --> 00:34:04,500
complex helping us in and finalize
everything up there the other three they

377
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:08,879
can even go on the trails with us
so that's another thing that we we want

378
00:34:06,779 --> 00:34:11,820
to talk about update you on the Trails
um I'll let Joe kind of tell you a

379
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:15,020
little bit about our meeting with uh
Joey Mullins the other day

380
00:34:16,919 --> 00:34:26,099
we met uh had a meeting with joy and
there's a couple proposals that they're

381
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:30,060
working on for ATVs and stuff uh
we talked about some additional roads

382
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:35,460
done in the hayside area
I think some of those will go through

383
00:34:31,980 --> 00:34:42,000
real easy uh
they've been talk about some other

384
00:34:37,740 --> 00:34:47,280
routes around that he's trying to work
with and get speed limits and stuff with

385
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:53,700
to try to get some of those
yeah and I think um if I may Madam chair

386
00:34:50,940 --> 00:34:58,920
I think like Sand Lake Area because it's
a 35 all the way through there down to

387
00:34:56,159 --> 00:35:03,359
Lazarus Branch it's Lazarus branch is in
it they get their open

388
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:08,220
the one I mentioned briefly to you
before we started tonight

389
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:11,579
the other idea the mayor had down there
was

390
00:35:09,060 --> 00:35:15,420
an alternate trail that went that
bypassed some of that that maybe it's

391
00:35:13,980 --> 00:35:19,980
possible to work with through a
right-of-way to take it up to those two

392
00:35:17,460 --> 00:35:25,020
places they want they want to kind of
get up to the old VFW and the old uh and

393
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:29,339
Martha's Place because they're looking
at putting some businesses in there

394
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:33,599
possibly a hotel and a
another business

395
00:35:30,839 --> 00:35:37,140
Larry actually sent us a map of The
Proposal of those trails and Joe's going

396
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:41,700
to map those on onyx to see the
landowners to kind of see where that

397
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:45,780
would go I understand so we've got that
one and then we're working on the one

398
00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:51,599
with um where we lost the Federal Branch
down into town yeah we're working with

399
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:55,260
um Johnny villager with the jail we're
going to go to that board meeting about

400
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,680
an alternative route that will go on the
outskirts of that property from the

401
00:35:56,820 --> 00:36:01,920
Kiwanis Park down in the tank
so we're looking at a couple options

402
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:07,740
that and we had a good discussion with
Larry last week good yes why to put a

403
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:13,200
plug in and then also
I'd love to see something in Clintwood

404
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:17,099
you know we eventually have trail
running through here and we've got

405
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:20,940
there's been talk I know and
but one thing that we would like to do

406
00:36:19,020 --> 00:36:23,700
is um
we've got we've got a lot of people

407
00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:26,940
that's approached approached us with
projects but what we would like to do I

408
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:31,859
think a lot of people think of spearhead
they just think only of trails of the

409
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,500
ATVs but I I don't know how many of you
all know but we've got we've purchased

410
00:36:33,060 --> 00:36:38,640
the covert Home Center
uh we're doing a soft opening this

411
00:36:36,660 --> 00:36:43,500
weekend of the ash room we have an ax
Boeing facility that we're opening over

412
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:48,240
there rock climbing wall uh JMU we've
worked with them in Harrisonburg at the

413
00:36:45,780 --> 00:36:52,320
University they're giving us tons of
stuff they gave us basketball goals

414
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:57,060
bicycles anything recreation office
equipment they've donated we took four

415
00:36:54,780 --> 00:37:01,140
trailers and have went to get the free
stuff they're giving us and it's

416
00:36:58,380 --> 00:37:05,099
donating that to help us I don't know
what their plans are or anything and I'm

417
00:37:03,420 --> 00:37:10,220
not trying to interfere with it but I
know like the town

418
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:16,020
we're going to put a splash pad up here
the town's also planning on putting some

419
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:21,720
other recreational stuff there I don't
know what else if there's any needs um

420
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:24,720
his name is Mark uh kalopy and he says
if there's any needs that we have just

421
00:37:23,220 --> 00:37:28,380
to let him know and he'll look for stuff
because they're always redoing the dorms

422
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:33,420
and they like their culinary programs
they had plates and you name it they had

423
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:37,260
it up there we got four vending machines
that we're going to be able to use at

424
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:40,680
our facilities so that that's been a
good relationship but what we want to do

425
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:44,220
is try to get our name out there to let
people know where are more than the

426
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:47,400
trails so we would like to have and we
want your guidance On This Town Hall

427
00:37:45,839 --> 00:37:51,599
meetings kind of like what you're
talking about to go we've talked about

428
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,260
going to each Community or do we have
one as a whole

429
00:37:52,859 --> 00:37:58,140
and kind of educate people as to what we
are

430
00:37:56,220 --> 00:38:02,220
and and maybe get some more buy-in
because you know we're at the we're at

431
00:38:00,359 --> 00:38:04,560
the the discretion of the landowner
whether they let us use that or not

432
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:10,079
because we don't purchase the property
no I understand we provide liability

433
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:15,599
no we don't purchase the property what
about um

434
00:38:11,579 --> 00:38:18,660
on Navidad issue for putting ATVs on the
roadways

435
00:38:17,099 --> 00:38:21,960
what has been
the feedback you gotten from VDOT is it

436
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:27,660
pretty much
only 35 and Below areas or is that they

437
00:38:25,740 --> 00:38:34,619
give any guidelines that they're looking
at right now that's what it is yeah they

438
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:39,240
are looking to change some of that into
stipulations on

439
00:38:36,540 --> 00:38:42,720
ATV or Brook roads one of the things
that that is the main thing and you

440
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:46,079
brought it up is in order for a road
really to be looked at right now it

441
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:50,579
needs to have Trail access
it needs to make sense ens is perfect

442
00:38:48,420 --> 00:38:54,300
they sell our permits they they have
access to the campgrounds so that that

443
00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:57,900
would be perfect to have that access all
the way out to there it makes sense yeah

444
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:02,160
yeah so it's things like that that we
see that make sense together they want

445
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:07,140
to ride their four-wheeler to go get
groceries and whatever and that would

446
00:39:04,020 --> 00:39:11,640
open up a couple right facilities so so
we want to to go and you know initially

447
00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:15,660
without each town so that each Community
felt involved or but we want your

448
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:21,300
guidance what what do you all suggest
the other thing I would say is Rhonda

449
00:39:17,700 --> 00:39:26,760
briefly a minute ago mentioned the
marina it would be as that progresses it

450
00:39:25,020 --> 00:39:30,359
would be good to be able to reach that
somehow

451
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:35,760
for uh you work with the core there and
that's going to be difficult but I I

452
00:39:33,660 --> 00:39:41,220
certainly I you know I wanted to contact
you and and talk about I went up

453
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:46,560
yesterday to
I went up to look at where the

454
00:39:44,339 --> 00:39:50,700
above the greenway football field where
the strip job is where they practice of

455
00:39:49,140 --> 00:39:55,980
course they had it blocked there's a
gate there I could act difficult to turn

456
00:39:53,160 --> 00:40:03,359
around but nevertheless uh
I I'm quite I I understand that you want

457
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:08,760
to that you're more than ATVs but right
now they're very popular and and I'm

458
00:40:06,839 --> 00:40:12,540
very glad that hayside has what they
have and they have a good good trail I I

459
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:18,780
would
like to see something in the Clinton

460
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:26,040
area that would draw in some ATVs uh
I've been up to the dicks and Dixon uh

461
00:40:21,839 --> 00:40:33,180
Johnny Dixon property and uh it is a
fantastic and I enjoy it and uh put my

462
00:40:30,660 --> 00:40:36,900
my nephews love to shoot skeet shooting
and so forth but they've been down to

463
00:40:34,740 --> 00:40:42,000
Mike's place and then okay Jacob's been
Hammers and ski shoes as well so is

464
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,839
there have you ever looked into the
birth knob is that something you could

465
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:49,920
never could get an ATV trail to Birch
knob because of the Jefferson National

466
00:40:48,060 --> 00:40:54,060
Forest or something
we talked to uh Brandon Olinger I know

467
00:40:52,859 --> 00:41:00,359
they have a new director can't remember
his name is it Mark Grimes Amy I can't

468
00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:03,060
remember that that's what I didn't email
um what was her name before

469
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:07,619
um
Michelle Davis is who we worked with

470
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:11,460
before uh but she has she took a new
position so we talked but Brandon

471
00:41:09,420 --> 00:41:15,420
Olinger is like her second I guess the
second in command and he said it's not

472
00:41:13,020 --> 00:41:20,520
out of the question for ATV trails to be
on U.S forest property but we have to go

473
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:23,940
through they have called frog meetings
and they have plans that we can go

474
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:28,200
through and make proposals and if it
makes sense and things that we can can

475
00:41:26,220 --> 00:41:31,980
show like The Trails and what impact it
would have and of course people are

476
00:41:30,599 --> 00:41:36,900
writing it today we know that and they
know that so if we can maybe show that

477
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,720
we can help lessen the impact and Patrol
it I think it could be an option but it

478
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,859
would take a little while to get done
well that's something I think you all

479
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:49,079
need to look into in the future and then
I do hope that you will look at the I

480
00:41:47,460 --> 00:41:55,020
get I know you've been up there because
it's not far from the uh spearhead Trail

481
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:59,640
there in snowball holla from where the
where they practice up there above where

482
00:41:57,599 --> 00:42:03,119
an old strip job is I don't know the
connection you all do you probably

483
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:09,540
connected it out it goes all the way
into Baker Ridge I believe that that

484
00:42:05,820 --> 00:42:14,820
does and uh I know Glenwood they're
they're my third is 25 miles per hour at

485
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:22,500
the town in Glenwood he's not 35 he's 25
but nevertheless uh I I hope you know

486
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:28,560
Peggy and I attended a
I don't know it was you I talked to it

487
00:42:24,900 --> 00:42:34,740
seemed like it was up at UVA wise and I
asked about spearhead and I'd got a

488
00:42:31,140 --> 00:42:38,700
definitely no said what'd you that they
was not looking at anything in Dickinson

489
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:44,420
County a form that they had up there
yeah that's what I was thinking yeah I

490
00:42:41,220 --> 00:42:48,900
definitely know yes it's always options
pardon me I would like to clarify it's

491
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:52,040
sort of it's sort of disappointed me
when I heard that you know

492
00:42:54,060 --> 00:43:00,359
at the college
was talking to you not in the meeting we

493
00:42:58,020 --> 00:43:04,079
were talking about ATV trails yes sir
and we're working with The Nature

494
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:10,020
Conservancy
they now own the property and they had

495
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:16,800
told us at this time pertinent to the
ATVs that they do not anticipate anymore

496
00:43:13,940 --> 00:43:20,359
as of now
but now that may be something different

497
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:24,300
if you're looking about
non-motorized trails

498
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:28,319
horse trails
bicycle hiking

499
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:35,339
all that and that would be able to
connect downtown with non-motorized that

500
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:40,800
was what my intent to convey was not
that we're not getting planted on any

501
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:44,880
Trails but we must uh abide with their
wishes and their guidelines

502
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:50,700
and that's what they have told us about
the ATV trails at this time now down the

503
00:43:48,839 --> 00:43:55,859
road there may be more
but uh but you know there's something to

504
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:59,400
think about where the the CSX closed
down

505
00:43:56,540 --> 00:44:03,140
they no longer run from Fremont to Lake
far which is 13 miles

506
00:44:03,180 --> 00:44:08,119
um and of course you know the track's
still there but uh

507
00:44:08,420 --> 00:44:15,960
we did
um I don't know what the status is do

508
00:44:13,980 --> 00:44:19,579
you know what the status is actually one
of the things we've got to talk about

509
00:44:16,980 --> 00:44:25,740
during our Economic Development
yeah yeah we had uh started that Madam

510
00:44:23,579 --> 00:44:29,220
chair and I if you're done Ronda I don't
know I appreciate everything you do I

511
00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:34,500
think you're running to great I
apologize for any misleading you in any

512
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:39,900
manner I understand about the nature of
the nature conservancy and so forth and

513
00:44:37,859 --> 00:44:45,359
you have to do what they you know they
they basically all more land anybody in

514
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:51,660
the county but nevertheless I do think
it would be a good idea if you look

515
00:44:47,460 --> 00:44:56,960
in the future to First knob and and so
what we could do to link things exactly

516
00:44:53,700 --> 00:45:01,740
snowball Hall yeah
sir if you know any Property Owners

517
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:06,079
private landowners that's willing to
work with us we've got the first knob I

518
00:45:04,619 --> 00:45:11,760
don't know I mean
around town well all I know is that that

519
00:45:09,420 --> 00:45:14,339
that land up there is on by I believe in
town Clintwood owns that don't think

520
00:45:13,319 --> 00:45:18,619
Larry
uh they own a portion of it yeah they'd

521
00:45:16,980 --> 00:45:24,319
mentioned
the county makes up is what they are I

522
00:45:22,140 --> 00:45:29,400
think about great landowners
I think

523
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:34,680
three landowners I think Dr Ratliff
didn't him there

524
00:45:31,619 --> 00:45:38,040
uh that's something in the future you
know it would be good to connect that up

525
00:45:37,079 --> 00:45:42,839
there where you've got the shooting
range and and the archery and it's just

526
00:45:40,500 --> 00:45:47,640
a it's exactly the only thing that's in
my district there and I've had some the

527
00:45:45,420 --> 00:45:53,940
thing that I with the hope that you know
that's been stripped up there and water

528
00:45:50,339 --> 00:45:58,140
pours off of that strip job and it the
people down below it and it affects you

529
00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:01,380
all too people getting up there I mean
sometimes you've got to go through like

530
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:05,940
a creek to get up there I mean it just
pours out and of course VDOT doesn't

531
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:10,500
clean out the ditches you know we all
know that so but nevertheless I've been

532
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:14,819
up there for Waters just shoot and you
have two words just shooting off there

533
00:46:12,839 --> 00:46:20,400
there's something to look into with the
Reclamation if they can you know you can

534
00:46:17,940 --> 00:46:24,420
apply for Grants with a Reclamation to
help with that water it might help with

535
00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:30,920
other parts of it that's just something
I'm you know sort of going on and

536
00:46:28,020 --> 00:46:36,140
they're supposed to get back with us um
I've got so much money for Reclamation

537
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:41,940
and that would be one of the biggest
places I think that Reclamation could

538
00:46:39,359 --> 00:46:45,359
occur and would be beneficial but one
thing I guess I want to reiterate though

539
00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:49,980
is just how to work nature conservances
work for work

540
00:46:46,819 --> 00:46:54,119
good and in that group we can't ask for
better relationship we're good I'm glad

541
00:46:51,660 --> 00:46:59,819
to hear that yeah having a chair I got
one more thing and I'm sorry there's a

542
00:46:57,060 --> 00:47:03,960
millions of requirements money and other
things working through the landowners is

543
00:47:01,740 --> 00:47:09,000
a more difficult task
but I would be remiss if I didn't

544
00:47:05,819 --> 00:47:14,819
mention we we have a trail from Grundy
to hayside we don't have anything to

545
00:47:12,540 --> 00:47:18,780
Saint Paul yet do we and it would be
good if we had something to clinch gold

546
00:47:16,740 --> 00:47:22,460
bro you know up through Caney Ridge or
or those areas too

547
00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:28,420
[Music]

548
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:39,720
and they've talked to them about hockey
so far and and we know this is a lot of

549
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:45,300
this we're discussing may be a long long
time before yeah you guys have done an

550
00:47:43,020 --> 00:47:50,640
awesome job and like you said
Shooting Complex is amazing

551
00:47:48,359 --> 00:47:53,240
I think that until you go up there the
wow factor

552
00:47:57,540 --> 00:48:02,339
and once you come up on that Hill is
that effect of what you see when you get

553
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:05,880
up there and I think what would it
should be very proud you know the wow

554
00:48:04,140 --> 00:48:10,920
factor for me was when they said all
those um

555
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:14,940
Sporting Clays at in the woods and stuff
like that and I ended up hitting only

556
00:48:13,260 --> 00:48:18,599
three of the birds that was a wild
factor for me

557
00:48:16,579 --> 00:48:22,079
but we just would like your own
suggestions of how handling that I mean

558
00:48:20,460 --> 00:48:26,280
reducing her community which is being
one County meeting

559
00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:30,540
what's wrong how would you like to see
it handled

560
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:33,180
oh I see you have a farm and invite
people in let's hear their opinions and

561
00:48:32,339 --> 00:48:38,280
yeah
one Central meeting

562
00:48:35,460 --> 00:48:42,900
throughout the county well I don't I
don't know if that work or not but uh

563
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:47,220
I think if you're going to hit each of
those areas you're going to have to have

564
00:48:44,460 --> 00:48:51,420
one in each year yeah each each place I
would think because

565
00:48:49,020 --> 00:48:57,420
you know High staff so much father above
us in that regard and clinch cut clinch

566
00:48:55,140 --> 00:49:02,400
God needs and and then Clintwood does
too you know I just want to say that

567
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:08,579
it's very it's very
very nice place to go to

568
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:12,720
well I wanted to relate we found it to
be very effective

569
00:49:10,260 --> 00:49:17,339
when the members of a community reach
out to their neighbors to get their

570
00:49:14,819 --> 00:49:22,680
input on the right-of-ways in the
easements across the property it works

571
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:29,160
out a little bit better coming from the
neighbor than it does from us many times

572
00:49:26,460 --> 00:49:34,980
because everyone knows their name those
it gets to feel their sentiments off but

573
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:40,319
I wanted Melissa to tell you about the
forthcoming hopefully Grant

574
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:45,960
for the enforcements complex
and about our headquarters because she

575
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:49,560
has worked so diligently on these
projects

576
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:54,660
and talking about how far this has come
I've been there since the first meeting

577
00:49:52,140 --> 00:49:59,579
and it's so gratifying to see where it
is today

578
00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:03,780
and how far it's come we've had over 40
some projects in requests on the board

579
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:08,099
right now
and it's hard to get to everything some

580
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:11,700
of them are small others are quite
monumental

581
00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:17,520
and the Rails to Trails project is one
of them love to see that go that would

582
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:23,460
be such a boon for the whole area
oh would it even be been discussed about

583
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:29,040
rail pedal cars
something we don't even have in our area

584
00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:32,099
there is a few of them up in Northern
New York

585
00:50:30,060 --> 00:50:37,680
and they've been very successful that'd
be something totally different

586
00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:42,480
but we are open to suggestions that you
all may have

587
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:46,440
on anything any thoughts or questions
that's why we're here you all have any

588
00:50:44,579 --> 00:50:50,579
further comments
not to belabor this but money marketing

589
00:50:49,140 --> 00:50:54,240
you all got to Market that shooting
range

590
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:58,760
whether that's TV advertisements whether
that's Billboards whether that's a

591
00:50:55,859 --> 00:50:58,760
social media blitz

592
00:51:01,460 --> 00:51:10,740
uh you just got to Market it and I love
Andy Rose he's a wonderful Ambassador I

593
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:14,280
love Joe I love Melissa wish Joe would
make them easier y'all doing a great job

594
00:51:12,300 --> 00:51:18,599
but you got to put your board Mr
mclennan's got to put money into

595
00:51:15,780 --> 00:51:24,240
marketing and I don't know if all the
counties need to join in with that but

596
00:51:20,660 --> 00:51:28,020
thank you for helping us to help us with
tourism

597
00:51:25,500 --> 00:51:32,520
and to help we got to have marketing I
think that's what you're missing help is

598
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:35,760
the events now yeah three big events
coming up that we're getting ready to

599
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:41,819
market for next year we're planning that
far ahead yeah

600
00:51:38,579 --> 00:51:47,040
IBO uh the ASA all of that different
stuff we're in we're doing um the IDPA

601
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:50,880
and we're going to different ranges Iron
Mountain I don't know if I've heard of

602
00:51:48,059 --> 00:51:53,220
them in several uh it's a Sporting Clays
range and they're going to help us they

603
00:51:52,020 --> 00:51:56,640
said they would help us like we could
take our materials up there they're good

604
00:51:54,780 --> 00:52:00,780
that's right that's what I'm saying they
have a huge crop because they're right

605
00:51:57,780 --> 00:52:04,500
at the exit 407. but if you could run a
some kind of commercial or get a

606
00:52:02,460 --> 00:52:10,079
billboard say in Tazewell or saying run
to your say in Lebanon because that's

607
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:14,099
what helps us is not necessarily my
neighbor going to shoot but it's us

608
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:16,579
getting other counties people you know
people yeah

609
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:22,079
that's my two cents but I appreciate
what y'all do and you've done a

610
00:52:20,940 --> 00:52:27,800
wonderful job
Madam chair I I promise I'm not trying

611
00:52:25,260 --> 00:52:34,260
to dominate the conversation here but
Josh's input made me thinking you guys

612
00:52:31,319 --> 00:52:38,819
did get some marketing through
part of Appalachia

613
00:52:36,540 --> 00:52:42,960
on the trails themselves because I sat
in Illinois northern Illinois on the

614
00:52:40,740 --> 00:52:47,700
Wisconsin border and I watched our Trail
being advertised on TV so the same thing

615
00:52:46,020 --> 00:52:53,099
with the shooting range if you've got a
bed see whether you can get with them to

616
00:52:50,099 --> 00:52:57,240
work that too and Kim Davis with friends
has been great to reach out to us now so

617
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,359
that that's been good and then of course
the lieutenant Governor's visit was good

618
00:52:58,740 --> 00:53:05,160
and the Attorney General will be here
next month so I think those those are

619
00:53:04,020 --> 00:53:08,339
bringing some
some attention it's just the marketing

620
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,920
you're around we need to capitalize on
more marketing opportunities gosh it's

621
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:15,300
all right
yeah her being there was good because it

622
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:19,619
was on TV and everything right it was
and and I think I think prompted the

623
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:25,380
Attorney General's visit too because I
think that that helped that

624
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:31,319
yeah and also we send two people and I
think Dana went did you go and come back

625
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:34,220
uh to the marketing that Jack and
Burlington goes to

626
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:43,260
you need to send some stuff with them
because they Market Dickinson County

627
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:46,859
down there yeah she messaged me on
Facebook and asked me to give her some

628
00:53:44,460 --> 00:53:51,780
stuff to take personally okay so I need
to get that to her we uh send them down

629
00:53:49,319 --> 00:53:54,200
there we pay their motel for the sharing
on there

630
00:53:57,619 --> 00:54:00,740
supervisor's office

631
00:54:01,380 --> 00:54:10,020
and another place as far as trying to
connect to Saint Paul uh I'm not very

632
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:14,640
familiar when you go up I think it's at
Phillips holler to tremel Gap

633
00:54:12,420 --> 00:54:22,380
if that would take you off towards Saint
Paul or uh Roaring Fork uproar Fork I

634
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:25,740
know Roaring Fork will take you up on
the Hazel Mountain which will put you up

635
00:54:24,059 --> 00:54:31,440
on that side which will take you off
down Cheney Creek to Russell County but

636
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:35,220
Trammell Gap is on the right hand side
up through there that might be a place

637
00:54:33,420 --> 00:54:39,440
to look for for that end of the county
we're actually working on the Main

638
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,440
Street

639
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:49,920
into St Paul and that could be a next
step okay

640
00:54:46,500 --> 00:54:52,400
small projects at a time okay it seems
to work really

641
00:54:59,940 --> 00:55:07,440
okay very good from memory
thank you thank you

642
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:12,059
I had never been up there I came up
there when the lieutenant governor was

643
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:17,460
up there uh ended up shooting a couple
of times which I hadn't it's been years

644
00:55:15,059 --> 00:55:21,960
and years since I shot uh I don't know
that I've ever shot a shotgun but I've

645
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:25,400
not been back but I'm not saying I'm not
coming back I might go back up

646
00:55:32,119 --> 00:55:39,900

the kind of fair that we had in
Dickinson County so we want to give you

all a big hands
and we appreciate a lot of you all

669
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:46,680
coming up to the fair but Larry Barton
spent all day Saturday helping us with

670
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:54,240
traffic and he knows that the committee
we were the workhorses definitely we did

671
00:57:49,559 --> 00:57:58,140
it all but we so appreciate that
um

672
00:57:54,839 --> 00:58:02,940
what I wanted to kind of go over is some
data from the fair before I turn it over

673
00:58:01,140 --> 00:58:09,059
to a couple of these other folks because
you all need to know when you gave us

674
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:13,920
money to fund the fair our number one
goal was to try to get rides back to the

675
00:58:11,460 --> 00:58:19,740
fair and we had a really difficult time
doing that we went a bunch of us went to

676
00:58:16,980 --> 00:58:24,900
the state convention in Williamsburg and
we met with the

677
00:58:21,359 --> 00:58:29,040
rad people there and they said uh no we
don't have we don't have the workforce

678
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:34,079
we used to have and we can't come to
Dickinson County

679
00:58:30,540 --> 00:58:37,859
but the RC Cole who has they've been
doing Russell County for years he gave

680
00:58:35,819 --> 00:58:41,220
us a couple of phone numbers and we came
back

681
00:58:38,819 --> 00:58:48,059
and we called a fun time Family
amusements that is owned by uh Garth

682
00:58:45,420 --> 00:58:52,020
nicely and
um

683
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:58,020
you know they brought about 10 rides and
I was very impressed with their rides

684
00:58:54,540 --> 00:59:02,579
and I've been a message of Mr nicely and
I said you know can we get an assurance

685
00:59:00,540 --> 00:59:08,160
that you all come back next year and
maybe bring two or three more good rides

686
00:59:05,700 --> 00:59:14,700
because we had long lines especially on
Friday and he messaged me and he said

687
00:59:10,940 --> 00:59:20,280
yes I'm going to send you dates soon and
please thank everyone for treating us so

688
00:59:17,099 --> 00:59:25,799
good so that's that was
I was happy which we knew he would come

689
00:59:23,460 --> 00:59:31,859
back he was happy he made a really nice
profit a very nice Prophet at the

690
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:36,059
Dickinson County Fair
um

691
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:44,160
we have tried kind of tried to gauge our
attendance based on ticket sales based

692
00:59:40,559 --> 00:59:49,559
on ticket sales at our gates but also
with the ride company and then we had a

693
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:55,920
pass gate we had a lot of people that
were you know volunteers and vendors and

694
00:59:52,980 --> 00:59:59,720
so forth our biggest attendance day of
course was Friday where every kid got in

695
00:59:58,500 --> 01:00:07,319
free
and we still had a huge day at the gates

696
01:00:04,079 --> 01:00:11,940
we had a lot of paying people so we
would estimate based on the data that we

697
01:00:09,780 --> 01:00:18,359
have that the 10 attendance would fall
anywhere for the week between eight and

698
01:00:15,420 --> 01:00:23,099
eleven thousand people with the highest
attendance being on Friday and of course

699
01:00:20,819 --> 01:00:29,579
Saturday was another big day
I want to before I get into any

700
01:00:27,359 --> 01:00:35,220
real data
I'd like to ask Whitney to come up if

701
01:00:31,980 --> 01:00:39,480
she would and read just a few of the
many testimonials we had about the fair

702
01:00:37,980 --> 01:00:45,960
[Music]
I got one fought with you girls

703
01:00:42,839 --> 01:00:52,020
why can't you pick one from Dixon County
I knew that would already be an issue

704
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:57,660
she's a pretty girl don't get me wrong I
completely understand

705
01:00:54,500 --> 01:01:02,220
girls here in Dixie we absolutely do um
I know we've had a few comments on that

706
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:06,540
concerns so per Virginia Association
Affairs their guidelines all that it has

707
01:01:04,559 --> 01:01:12,359
to require is the woman has to be a
resident of Virginia Okay so

708
01:01:09,420 --> 01:01:16,500
if we only if we closed it down and I
only did Dickinson County we would

709
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:22,020
probably have maybe five people in all
the pageant from zero to 22 years old

710
01:01:19,500 --> 01:01:25,200
maybe five people this year we had the
biggest attendance in Miss for Dickinson

711
01:01:24,119 --> 01:01:30,780
County people and it was still only
three really so

712
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:35,640
if we did that we went and sitting near
the numbers that we did yeah it's okay

713
01:01:33,599 --> 01:01:38,880
you're allowed to so but now I
completely understand that and there's a

714
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:43,260
lot that goes into it you know it's not
just looks it's the interview and the

715
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:48,020
aspects of it all but of course we would
love to see a Dickinson County girl win

716
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:53,280
it as well but I understand
family and spend money yeah yes

717
01:01:51,059 --> 01:01:56,640
absolutely and that was one thing yep
and I'm gonna read the testimonies and

718
01:01:54,960 --> 01:02:00,799
then I'll make Allison let me get back
up here and we'll talk a little bit more

719
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,799
on the page it

720
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:07,920
yeah so this is just some things that I
grabbed off Facebook people that had

721
01:02:06,299 --> 01:02:10,980
posted and share different things this
is just post I didn't dig into the

722
01:02:09,599 --> 01:02:14,099
comments but
um throughout the week I was just trying

723
01:02:12,119 --> 01:02:16,920
to screenshot stuff because I saw so
many people just really share a great

724
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:20,099
post
um the first one says I've had a blast

725
01:02:18,599 --> 01:02:24,299

Dickinson County Fair by far the best

every Entertainer all the contributors

753

things happen when everyone works for

754
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:31,020
the common good and no one cares who
gets the credit that's my observation of

755
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:35,579
exactly what happened here but the real
heroes here are the people the people

756
01:04:33,180 --> 01:04:40,319
showed up they were given a wonderful
opportunity but so many times people in

757
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:44,220
our County don't take advantage of what
we do have to offer as a county to the

758
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:49,440
people who brought their kids themselves
to the fairground and supported the fair

759
01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:52,920
you deserve a real pat on the back this
image captures it best look at this

last one I went to bed completely pooped

769
01:05:28,559 --> 01:05:35,940
last night and so tired but it was so
worth it Caitlyn with the Johnny B deal

770
01:05:33,359 --> 01:05:40,619
library and I with Haystack Community
Library represented at your libraries at

771
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:44,400
the fair yesterday and we're so thankful
and blessed to see all the support you

772
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:48,780
gave us I saw Caitlyn's post this
morning and it inspired me to make one

773
01:05:46,260 --> 01:05:52,200
of my own I love seeing Smiles on the
faces of all the kids in our community

774
01:05:50,220 --> 01:05:56,819
and I love to see them laughing and
having so much at the fair fun at the

775
01:05:54,780 --> 01:06:01,440
fair we were supposed to leave at three
yesterday but we tattooed glittered hair

776
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:05,579
colored and airbrushed until after six
many kids either offered us money or

777
01:06:04,020 --> 01:06:10,079
were in shock that our services were
free I was happy to let them know that

778
01:06:07,500 --> 01:06:13,799
our services are always free support for
us is not with money but just being

779
01:06:11,700 --> 01:06:18,000
inside of our buildings we are Beyond
thankful to the fair community and

780
01:06:15,660 --> 01:06:21,420
Allison Mullins O'Quinn for letting us
be a part of the wonderful fair that

781
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:25,020
they had this year so you came to see us
on the mountain now come see us at the

782
01:06:23,220 --> 01:06:29,039
library Sarah Rose
so that's just a few of the testimonies

783
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:32,880
that I found when scrolling through
Facebook and I'm sure if you're on

784
01:06:30,420 --> 01:06:37,440
social media you saw them too and
um knowing that not only the hard work

785
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:42,660
that that I've put in it personally but
knowing all the hard work especially

786
01:06:39,359 --> 01:06:46,380
Allison that she's put into it just it
just really gives you just peace of mind

787
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:49,859
and you just feel really blessed to see
that people appreciated what came

788
01:06:48,359 --> 01:06:53,599
together on the mountain this year so
I'll turn it back over to Allison thank

789
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,599
you

790
01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:02,039
yeah and one other testimony that I'll
summarize uh Celeste Kellogg who is one

791
01:07:00,359 --> 01:07:08,339
of the entertainers that came Saturday
she's from the other end of the state

792
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:13,559
a family that is big fans of hers the
Collins family they came from Chicago

793
01:07:10,079 --> 01:07:18,299
Illinois and they stayed uh in the
breaks at a cabin in the breaks and Mike

794
01:07:16,260 --> 01:07:22,980
Collins messaged me a couple of days ago
he said I hope that Celeste you all can

795
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:30,720
bring Celeste back but even if you don't
next week we're going to spend a week at

796
01:07:27,180 --> 01:07:34,980
your fair and stay in the brakes and uh
that that's what one of the things that

797
01:07:32,940 --> 01:07:38,539
I was really happy about is that people
could see what Dickinson County has to

798
01:07:37,380 --> 01:07:46,020
offer
and they love it you know they loved it

799
01:07:42,119 --> 01:07:52,200
and so we're very thankful but I want to
give you guys just a little packet and

800
01:07:48,839 --> 01:07:56,059
I'm sorry I only have seven copies so
one of you may have to share

801
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:05,700
yeah
Josh was talking about marketing and the

802
01:08:03,420 --> 01:08:10,559
spearhead Trail I loved your history and
I'm on it often

803
01:08:07,859 --> 01:08:15,180
but we didn't get the marketing grant
that we applied for uh we didn't have

804
01:08:13,020 --> 01:08:20,640
enough data from
years past about you know how many

805
01:08:17,699 --> 01:08:26,640
people came and we wasn't able to be
specific enough so we didn't qualify for

806
01:08:22,980 --> 01:08:32,339
the grant but the Chamber of Commerce
helped us out with a billboard and we

807
01:08:29,219 --> 01:08:37,199
were very appreciative of that but I
just got

808
01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:42,420
I just got a message yeah Harmon
Junction I just got a message on our

809
01:08:40,259 --> 01:08:47,339
Facebook account this morning
that for August 30th through September

810
01:08:45,900 --> 01:08:51,900
26th
we reached 48.7

811
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:59,160
000 people
on our Facebook account

812
01:08:53,960 --> 01:09:07,440
we had 33 000 post engagements in that
28-day period on our Facebook account

813
01:09:03,359 --> 01:09:14,819
we went from having under 500 follows
and likes to having over 3 000 followers

814
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:19,219
and likers on our Facebook account and a
lot of that is due to that first page in

815
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:25,980
that packet that I just gave you all
which is or a lady that did design for

816
01:09:23,100 --> 01:09:33,120
us Autumn Hutchinson no pay
she's on the team she's on the fire

817
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:39,540
committee uh her design in my opinion
will be award-winning this year at the

818
01:09:36,540 --> 01:09:45,540
state fair convention our slogan was
meet us on the mountain and we put in

819
01:09:42,779 --> 01:09:50,339
that picture things that we have to
offer things that we're proud of are

820
01:09:48,179 --> 01:09:57,120
coal mining or music
a part of our Legacy and that is what

821
01:09:54,660 --> 01:10:02,100
was on everything that we sent out for
marketing was that logo meet us on the

822
01:09:59,580 --> 01:10:06,719
mountain and one of our other slogans
was something for everyone and that's

823
01:10:04,860 --> 01:10:11,760
what we tried to provide with something
for everyone and

824
01:10:09,420 --> 01:10:15,239
um so
I have given you all

825
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:20,699
um
our profit and loss

826
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:25,620
on the first on the profit and loss it's
front and back

827
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:29,880
two-sided but you can see I'm not going
to announce it but you can see at the

828
01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:32,880
front that's what is in our checking
account

829
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:39,480
as we speak
I remember Mr Peter saying when he voted

830
01:10:36,659 --> 01:10:43,679
in favor to help us out that hopefully
this will be

831
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:49,560
something that we can eventually get on
our own and I think we can

832
01:10:46,679 --> 01:10:54,719
so this you've done an awesome job I'm
impressed I knew you could do it thank

833
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:58,920
you very much this is what we have in
our checking account we still have

834
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:04,620
expenses to come out and the big
expenses we will have is the water and

835
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:08,219
sewer bill at the Kiwanis that'll be our
biggie but we still think we'll have a

836
01:11:07,260 --> 01:11:14,400
pretty good
start for next year in our bank account

837
01:11:12,199 --> 01:11:19,320
and um
this is the profit and loss goes from

838
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:26,400
January to current
and so we're in the Plus for this year

839
01:11:22,380 --> 01:11:30,659
even after having the fair yes I thought
I'd mention something because of

840
01:11:28,020 --> 01:11:33,300
something you said you said sewer
because you have to have it pumped right

841
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:37,739
right
in the near future we won't have to do

842
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:40,739
that anymore because come on Plateau
just

843
01:11:38,699 --> 01:11:45,600
obtained a hundred thousand dollars for
us to do that yeah that's awesome good

844
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:51,260
to the public server that's great look
to the public store how do you not have

845
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,260
it anyway the Jail's on public sewer

846
01:11:56,719 --> 01:12:05,159
yes that'll help you tremendous yeah
that'll help a lot but the other page

847
01:12:02,820 --> 01:12:10,460
that I gave you all is just our team and
what we had to do because we had such a

848
01:12:07,440 --> 01:12:16,679
big task and when you all gave us money
we took that responsibility very

849
01:12:13,380 --> 01:12:21,300
seriously we we wanted to make the
county proud and we wanted to have

850
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:25,920
something that the kids especially could
be proud of and that they could look

851
01:12:23,100 --> 01:12:30,300
forward to every year so when you
entrusted us with that money we wanted

852
01:12:27,780 --> 01:12:35,940
to be good stewards of it we think we
have been good stewards of it

853
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:39,360
um you know we came up with ideas of how
to get people to come and we didn't have

854
01:12:37,620 --> 01:12:46,199
any money we didn't have any marketing
money so we we did it you know so the

855
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:52,739
team that you have the next page
in your packet is just our uh we had to

856
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:58,199
divide into subcommittees because we
have very specific things that people

857
01:12:55,380 --> 01:13:03,179
had to do in order to accomplish all
that had to be accomplished

858
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:09,480
and we have a great team and our team
works together and you know we just

859
01:13:06,620 --> 01:13:12,780
we're appreciative the board appointed a
lot of the people on the team and then

860
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:18,360
other people have said we'd like to help
too and we have to have people that will

861
01:13:16,020 --> 01:13:24,900
help we can't just do it with eight or
ten people we have to have and it takes

862
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:29,640
I've had two people that work at
Behavioral Health say we would like to

863
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:34,100
be on the Fair Community next year we'd
like to maybe do a zone for special

864
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:42,179
needs kids and other things like that
but we have the best marketing team on

865
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:47,400
zero budget and I think the county
really needs to look at the model that

866
01:13:45,719 --> 01:13:52,080
the fair committee has used for
marketing why in the world can't we

867
01:13:50,219 --> 01:13:56,699
Market everything we have from the
shooting range I mean we're reaching 50

868
01:13:54,659 --> 01:14:00,840
000 people here we're having people from
all different states come to Dickinson

869
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:05,520
County and get excited about Dickinson
County we've got so much to offer I

870
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:11,580
would recommend that the county look at
hiring Autumn Hutchinson as a marketing

871
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:17,100
designer I really would she did this she
did she did all of her she did right I

872
01:14:14,699 --> 01:14:25,320
mean this is great and this is all free
and I can tell you where does she live

873
01:14:19,980 --> 01:14:29,840
she lives uh Bartley yeah she
um I will tell you she does all the

874
01:14:27,420 --> 01:14:29,840
pictures

875
01:14:30,980 --> 01:14:39,719
the kids they flyer that we put in the
paper Josh Evans sponsoring the kids day

876
01:14:36,659 --> 01:14:43,800
she did that every flyer that we have
and I'm telling you social media is the

877
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:49,739
way to go you don't need to spend a
fortune in marketing but we have got you

878
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:54,300
know Celeste Kellogg came here from the
other end of the state and she's in love

879
01:14:51,300 --> 01:15:00,060
with with Dickinson County overnight
we just have to get people to come and

880
01:14:57,480 --> 01:15:05,040
so I'm not going to go on and on about
the fair we're very appreciative of you

881
01:15:03,060 --> 01:15:11,640
all what we would like to see moving
forward we would like to have two or

882
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:18,120
three more rides next year we would like
to be able to afford to have during Kids

883
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:23,040
Day something that was missing we had
some 4-H kids doing a little bit of

884
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:27,780
entertainment during kids day but while
those lines are really long for the

885
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:33,360
rides it would be nice if we had like a
variety act going on throughout the day

886
01:15:30,300 --> 01:15:39,420
on the main stage so that parents and
kids could take a break we just didn't

887
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:44,100
have enough we didn't we had no idea
this many people would come we had zero

888
01:15:41,699 --> 01:15:47,460
ideas they did though yeah I'll tell you
what I've my experience when I went to

01:15:49,620 --> 01:15:57,179
didn't think they rented any people so I
stood I stood in line an hour and a high

891
01:15:54,179 --> 01:16:00,840
for a funnel cake well I know I mean and

898
01:16:29,820 --> 01:16:37,679

01:16:46,860 --> 01:16:51,140
much did the fair our the horse show
take in

902
01:16:51,719 --> 01:16:58,940
probably seven or eight thousand dollars
yeah well the big the big draw was the

903
01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:04,260
truck pull I would say the truck
yeah

904
01:17:00,679 --> 01:17:09,420
our special events our special events
were dirt days we had ATV events

905
01:17:08,100 --> 01:17:15,900

uh truck pull

906
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:20,580
um horse show the beauty pageant you
know those types of things we'd like to

907
01:17:18,179 --> 01:17:24,600
have one more what we would call special
event

908
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:29,520
Kids Day kids day so they'll have
something to do during the day we just

909
01:17:27,179 --> 01:17:34,020
we did not
I mean it's like

910
01:17:31,260 --> 01:17:39,420
I'm not saying it is everything's a God
thing everything is but you know when

911
01:17:37,500 --> 01:17:44,820
you're looking out at all these people
you have to feed with two fish and Five

912
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:50,640
Loaves we had no idea I mean people just
kept kids day they were lined out the

913
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:54,179
gate for three or four hours who knew
that parents would and I'm so thankful

914
01:17:52,739 --> 01:17:56,719
that the school board did the early
dismissions

915
01:18:00,500 --> 01:18:08,340
but also the other thing is hopefully
next year we can have just no school on

916
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:12,480
that day and we didn't have a football
game that night you know so that worked

917
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:19,440
out good but anyway we don't want to go
backwards with the fair we want it to go

918
01:18:15,659 --> 01:18:25,199

she'll be in Nashville you know but who

923

927
01:19:04,440 --> 01:19:13,980
in sponsors from our local businesses we
had three pages Rita Surat read them off

928
01:19:10,739 --> 01:19:19,260
every night before the entertainment the
most sponsors they've ever had had for

929
01:19:16,380 --> 01:19:26,100
the fair and this was County Wide it was
all over the county businesses responded

930
01:19:22,140 --> 01:19:29,520
we were overwhelmed by that and a lot of
that on this page Allison your sponsor

934
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:42,980
um

935
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:52,800
one thing I don't see if I may uh is
member compensation were you all

936
01:19:50,100 --> 01:19:57,120
compensated for this no may I ask how
many hours do you think you put in not

937
01:19:55,140 --> 01:19:59,600
just during the week but in preparation
for this

938
01:20:06,020 --> 01:20:14,840
well I probably had it Saturday but I
wouldn't test till after the fact sorry

939
01:20:11,900 --> 01:20:19,199
her immune system
and I'm not going to sit and say you

940
01:20:17,460 --> 01:20:23,699
needed this or you needed that or this
should have been that you all did a

941
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:27,000
great job for free for this County this
was a wonderful investment this board

942
01:20:25,260 --> 01:20:31,020
made and I can't thank you enough for
what you've done and I'm not trying to

943
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:34,620
speed you up or I bet I I know what
you've done because I've seen your

944
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:39,600
meeting I know when you met I know you
did it for free and it was a home run

945
01:20:36,900 --> 01:20:44,940
hit success and I can't thank you all
enough and um I I think he was perfect

946
01:20:42,780 --> 01:20:51,179
so I'm not going to say or critique
anything about it well we did we did

947
01:20:47,100 --> 01:20:56,280
meet in uh we had our meetings in
Clintwood clinchco and hayside and we

948
01:20:53,580 --> 01:21:00,840
rotated them and you know we have
committee members from all throughout

949
01:20:58,199 --> 01:21:06,239
the county it takes a village when you
have a small place like a population

950
01:21:02,580 --> 01:21:11,280
like we have but I want to tell you that
the reward we got I'm speaking for

951
01:21:09,179 --> 01:21:17,520
myself and I thank everybody of
listening to those kids laughing

952
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:21,199
uh listening to them just say I'm so sad
that the fire's over and some of them

953
01:21:19,380 --> 01:21:27,420
don't ever get to do anything
where can you get in free and ride all

954
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:32,219
day long for ten dollars and not have to
leave hayside and not have to leave the

955
01:21:29,159 --> 01:21:37,020
county I mean that was worth a million I
would have put a million hours into it

956
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:41,580
if I needed to well yeah
I want to commend our lady I was

957
01:21:39,900 --> 01:21:46,800
thinking what John said I'll commit you
Allison I know you've worked your butt

958
01:21:43,860 --> 01:21:51,840
off because I want to have denied the
two nine signs there you would you was

959
01:21:48,719 --> 01:21:55,800
Hands-On yeah you knew what was going on
uh it wouldn't have been successful

960
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:59,520
without you I don't care what anybody
says

961
01:21:57,140 --> 01:22:05,040
that's what I believe I know you had a
lot of good help and I think each of you

962
01:22:01,380 --> 01:22:11,219
ladies but without your
energy and your sacrificing your time it

963
01:22:09,239 --> 01:22:17,699
would not have been success and it was
successful thank you and I I I we as I I

964
01:22:16,020 --> 01:22:22,620
thank you very much well you're welcome
I thank you and uh Celeste Kellogg kept

965
01:22:21,480 --> 01:22:27,900
saying

966
01:22:25,620 --> 01:22:32,460

and saying uh and Allison let me do

967
01:22:30,300 --> 01:22:38,159
where is Allison I only got to listen to
one son but I did go back but I want to

968
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:41,820
bring up just real briefly and I know
we're taking up probably too much time

969
01:22:39,780 --> 01:22:46,500
but I want you all to know that we have
if you decide you're going to provide

970
01:22:43,860 --> 01:22:50,940
any support to the fair next year we
can't wait until

971
01:22:48,480 --> 01:22:58,520
you know we have to start booking things
probably in at least by January at least

972
01:22:54,480 --> 01:23:04,340
so that's just to let you on a and um
Nancy will come up just briefly and then

973
01:23:01,679 --> 01:23:09,600
be and I think that too much
yeah

974
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:14,820
Nancy's my mom in case you didn't know
you know it's not Locker or anything

975
01:23:12,780 --> 01:23:18,360
um but I'll be really brief too
um so you guys gave us three thousand

976
01:23:16,860 --> 01:23:22,800
dollars this year for the pageant which
meant the world to us

977
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:27,540
um Mom and I took the pageant over the
year that I crowned we took it over for

978
01:23:25,020 --> 01:23:32,040
the next year and so this is our fifth
year having the pageant we didn't have

979
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:36,420
it one year because of coven but this is
the biggest turnout that we've ever had

980
01:23:33,719 --> 01:23:42,480
for the pageant ever and I've been
involved in pageantry for upwards of 20

981
01:23:39,540 --> 01:23:47,760
years and this is the biggest turnout
we've ever seen at the Dickinson County

982
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:53,340
Fair for a pageant we had 63 contestants
um in the whole entire pageant just to

983
01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:56,520
kind of compare that we had 32 last year
um one of the first things that we did

984
01:23:54,719 --> 01:24:02,340
whenever we received the three thousand
dollars from you all is we we went ahead

985
01:23:59,159 --> 01:24:07,080
and lowered our entry fee so in the past
we were able to drop it by 15 so that

986
01:24:05,699 --> 01:24:10,739
way we were hoping we would be able to
reach more people to be able to do the

987
01:24:09,300 --> 01:24:14,820
pageant
um we also were able to give away a two

988
01:24:12,900 --> 01:24:18,840
thousand dollar scholarship and that was
sponsored by Belcher insurance and jnr

989
01:24:17,219 --> 01:24:21,540
Furniture
um and so we're kind of already in the

990
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:26,000
works for talking about things that
would be popular for next year as well

991
01:24:23,940 --> 01:24:30,239
oh and Johnson's and Johnson Chevrolet
I'm sorry John Johnson don't I hope you

992
01:24:28,440 --> 01:24:34,980
don't can't hear me you know
um and then Western Pharmacy gave us 500

993
01:24:32,580 --> 01:24:39,719
so we use that for cash prize for our
winners as well so

994
01:24:36,780 --> 01:24:43,440
um 0 to 12 year old kids that won got
fifty dollars back so they got their

995
01:24:41,340 --> 01:24:47,340
entry fee returned to them
um and then our team and Miss winners

996
01:24:45,179 --> 01:24:51,420
got 100 cash
um so something we're kind of talking

997
01:24:48,659 --> 01:24:56,159
about is how we can involve people from
Dickinson County more you know maybe it

998
01:24:53,880 --> 01:25:00,900
will be an option that Mom and I can
hand pick somebody who can receive an

999
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:04,500
additional scholarship maybe they didn't
win the pageant but they had really

1000
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:08,820
impressive background and could really
use the scholarship

1001
01:25:06,659 --> 01:25:13,920
um but the pageant means a lot to me um
I was Miss Dickinson County in 2016 and

1002
01:25:11,699 --> 01:25:18,600
then I went on to win Miss Virginia
Association Affairs so there's only been

1003
01:25:16,739 --> 01:25:23,400
two people ever to win from Dickinson
County and so we're hoping to bring our

1004
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:28,140
third one back this year so we go the
third week in June January so what

1005
01:25:26,159 --> 01:25:32,880
little bit of money we brought in and
have left over we will use up there on

1006
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:37,320
our trip to help pay for our Queen to go
and entry fees and all of that but and

1007
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:41,640
I'm sure part of our community will go
and so we're just really thankful for

1008
01:25:39,420 --> 01:25:43,920
you guys and all that you guys did it
really means a lot to us to have you all

1009
01:25:43,199 --> 01:25:47,029

West Virginia that part of Virginia part
of the Southwest Virginia that we

1027

cannot extol

1035
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:06,960
enough gratitude to everyone
thank you Vicky you worked hard

1036
01:28:04,739 --> 01:28:12,239
I'd just like to say that
it takes as Rita said in that I mean as

1037
01:28:10,139 --> 01:28:16,760
Allison said and as others have said it
takes a village to put stuff together

1038
01:28:13,980 --> 01:28:22,860
for kids it takes everybody being
cooperative with one another give and

1039
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:27,120
taken with one another Allison had to
drive

1040
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:32,040
to get this started back to take this
over to get help from the committee I

1041
01:28:30,060 --> 01:28:36,239
appreciate that
um

1042
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:41,840
but it touched my heart
when we was down there on Friday night

1043
01:28:39,239 --> 01:28:47,639
and talking to Vicki when we was leaving
how tears rolled up in her eyes

1044
01:28:45,540 --> 01:28:52,920
to see the kids
to be so appreciative

1045
01:28:50,219 --> 01:28:57,540
to having a day off from school and a
place that they could go get in free and

1046
01:28:55,560 --> 01:29:01,020
ride so many rides
Man Hunter talked all the way off of the

1047
01:28:59,940 --> 01:29:07,020
mountain
how touched that she was that if

1048
01:29:04,739 --> 01:29:10,860
everybody seen that
then you know the fair was a was a

1049
01:29:10,139 --> 01:29:15,480
winner
you know they may have been things that

1050
01:29:12,719 --> 01:29:19,260
people didn't like I don't ride rides I
didn't get out and walk a whole lot but

1051
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:26,699
I enjoyed listening to the kids holler
and laugh and people eating and having

1052
01:29:22,860 --> 01:29:29,360
things that they enjoyed and and I and
I'm glad

1053
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:39,540
could support you
when we went to the school board meeting

1054
01:29:36,179 --> 01:29:44,699
um Allison and Judy Compton you know we
talked to the school board and I first

1055
01:29:42,300 --> 01:29:48,900
was was not going to say anything then I
thought it's burning on my heart being a

1056
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:53,760
retired teacher that you know you got to
say something

1057
01:29:50,040 --> 01:30:00,060

play to them on behalf of us the

committee I pled on behalf of the
children

1059

needed

01:30:58,679 --> 01:31:07,679
wonderful person not related to okay

minutes we located her but that was the

just uh moving on to item number eight
which is our new business

1103
01:34:13,139 --> 01:34:20,340
and our first one is
um a letter that Mr Barton has received

1104
01:34:17,940 --> 01:34:25,620
from the Cumberland our airport
Commission

1105
01:34:22,139 --> 01:34:28,920
I think it was if you sure thank you
madam chair the later before you and

1106
01:34:27,239 --> 01:34:36,480
your packet is one that was received it
was dated August 25th and basically uh

1107
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:41,219
Dickinson County uh uh back in 1958 by
the accident the Virginia General

1108
01:34:37,739 --> 01:34:45,120
Assembly of through the enabling acts of
of the

1109
01:34:42,780 --> 01:34:49,320
criminals airport commission was named a
member as well as other local counties

1110
01:34:47,639 --> 01:34:53,940
and all the townships right now the
commission is

1111
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:56,580
trying to update those enabling acts
with the general assembly and they're

1112
01:34:55,139 --> 01:35:00,600
basically asking if we still want to be
a part of the commission I know each of

1113
01:34:59,460 --> 01:35:04,139
the towns and each of the counties
represented by the Cumberland airports

1114
01:35:02,940 --> 01:35:08,100
commission received this same letter
because I've spoken with the towns in

1115
01:35:06,659 --> 01:35:15,179
the county
um on this we had a doctor Center that

1116
01:35:12,239 --> 01:35:19,440
served recently in this role and done a
very good job representing Dickinson

1117
01:35:16,500 --> 01:35:23,400
County and he has moved and so you know
if we decide to stay in the commission

1118
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:28,139
we will need to add that to a future
agenda to get that

1119
01:35:25,139 --> 01:35:32,360
did he give a resignation he told me
that he had to resign from right he

1120
01:35:30,540 --> 01:35:36,739
didn't give an official resignation
but he told me he had really enjoyed

1121
01:35:34,980 --> 01:35:42,000
serving them right he did a good job
representing us on that I know this is

1122
01:35:40,679 --> 01:35:45,420
the first year we've actually provided
funding we've provided five thousand

1123
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:51,739
dollars in funding this year
um they had requested 32 000 from us and

1124
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:56,159
we funded them five thousand dollars so
I I don't know a whole lot more than

1125
01:35:54,060 --> 01:36:00,360
that I don't know if it's something we
need Mr Rose to come to a future board

1126
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:03,900
meeting to answer any questions that you
might have

1127
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:07,980
this budget we did the first time we
ever had we need to put somebody on

1128
01:36:05,460 --> 01:36:11,100
there then Madam chair I'd like to speak
um

1129
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:17,760
I find what I found interesting is
reading the bylaws and um what I would

1130
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:22,440
um say I'm not against it but we are in
two commissions and we're in the Grundy

1131
01:36:19,980 --> 01:36:26,760
airport one it might be good that we
invite them to come speak to us but I

1132
01:36:24,239 --> 01:36:30,300
found interesting is reading this one
they're supposed to submit to the

1133
01:36:28,679 --> 01:36:35,699
governing bodies of the respective
counties and cities towns for which

1134
01:36:32,580 --> 01:36:38,880
they've it is formed for their approval
of budget now I don't think we've ever

1135
01:36:37,440 --> 01:36:45,600
seen their budget
it's on uh Quest it's paragraph six

1136
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:48,860
right so and I know I agree with you
totally and I don't know why we even fun

1137
01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:54,540
to do just to be
honestly now Grundy we don't find

1138
01:36:52,199 --> 01:36:58,679
anything as of yet but I'm just I'm not
against it what I'm saying is we maybe

1139
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:04,440
should get a briefing from both of them
I'm not trying to play unfair here I

1140
01:37:00,659 --> 01:37:08,460
want to I know the Grundy one and it's
still working through the wickets of FAA

1141
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:13,320
and all that because they're strip
mining the coal to expand that airport

1142
01:37:10,639 --> 01:37:19,380
and all the expenses have been paid
really coming what they're paying is

1143
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:22,679
coming up without grant money coming out
of seven stack for the cold under the

1144
01:37:21,659 --> 01:37:27,179
airport
but I guess think it'd be good to get an

1145
01:37:25,020 --> 01:37:31,320
update from them as well because at one
point James Keane was going to come to

1146
01:37:28,980 --> 01:37:34,679
you but in this one I'm seeing things
that they're specifically

1147
01:37:33,060 --> 01:37:39,540
supposed to do
and maybe we need to get that before we

1148
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:42,300
go ahead with this I'm not saying it's a
bad thing I may have that with the

1149
01:37:40,980 --> 01:37:45,600
bedroom request we have to go back for
our bedroom information when they sent

1150
01:37:43,620 --> 01:37:48,540
the request to us for funding and look
through our stuff they may have sent

1151
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:55,560
their proposal it may help they may have
I just don't remember that and um

1152
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:59,400
and then you know there's
it would be good to get some feedback

1153
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:03,659
from it
all right

1154
01:38:01,500 --> 01:38:09,600
I'm just suggesting we table it and go
back and get some information if we can

1155
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:14,880
if time allows for it and then um I'm
not saying we should get out of it

1156
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:19,320
and I and I would like to have Grundy
come and talk to you about theirs as

1157
01:38:16,440 --> 01:38:23,880
well miss Wills go ahead you can I think
the reason that we support this is if we

1158
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:29,340
ever develop red onion
any CEO is going to fly into the wise

1159
01:38:27,060 --> 01:38:36,000
Airport and I think that's the
importance of staying in with wise is if

1160
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:38,600
we get the red onion developed in any
way at all

1161
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:48,120
Shelby I agree wait a second
I said that's my opinion that we should

1162
01:38:45,540 --> 01:38:52,920
continue to support it is because of the
Red Onion product

1163
01:38:50,580 --> 01:38:56,940
no that's great and I I agree with you
I'm just saying let's um let's get a

1164
01:38:55,440 --> 01:39:00,480
briefing for a moment let's get
something from each of them you know

1165
01:38:58,980 --> 01:39:07,580
that's why I threw the other one in
there too not contingent to this but it

1166
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:07,580
would be good to get some feedback

1167
01:39:08,159 --> 01:39:15,659
and I believe that might have been
mentioned by Miss Willis or something in

1168
01:39:12,420 --> 01:39:22,880
our budget discussions of of making that
contribution was uh the use of red onion

1169
01:39:19,620 --> 01:39:28,920
yeah it is
my refuting saying we need to get rid of

1170
01:39:26,219 --> 01:39:33,179
it but what I'm saying let you know I I
don't remember seeing these bylaws

1171
01:39:30,719 --> 01:39:37,260
before and I thought that's good they've
done they've submitted some so we

1172
01:39:35,340 --> 01:39:41,100
already give them the check that's my oh
yeah that's a done deal this isn't a

1173
01:39:39,300 --> 01:39:47,639
request for money well I just won't say
it right with July so Appropriations

1174
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:51,600
I mean we're what happens to the money
if we were to check notes

1175
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:54,360
that's what that's all I care about I'm
wondering the same thing so we didn't

1176
01:39:52,620 --> 01:39:57,780
send the check so why don't we just kick
yes and finish out the year and I I

1177
01:39:56,400 --> 01:40:03,600
don't disagree with what Miss Willis
said but they've done got her check so

1178
01:40:00,540 --> 01:40:07,940
I mean why would we just say yes and
well I'm not I'm not trying to say no

1179
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:11,880
what I'm saying
they've done got our money so I think

1180
01:40:10,500 --> 01:40:16,139
you should be able to ask him to come
talk to us whether or not they suggest

1181
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:19,560
to give us a briefing well let's ask
them yeah

1182
01:40:17,639 --> 01:40:24,840
I don't think we need to table this or
on that though maybe we should ask them

1183
01:40:21,719 --> 01:40:29,100
to come at our workshops when we have
our next year's budget

1184
01:40:27,179 --> 01:40:34,820
since we've already yeah I mean they've
got the check now so this don't even

1185
01:40:30,900 --> 01:40:34,820
matter really I mean if you ask me yeah

1186
01:40:35,699 --> 01:40:42,300
so we are here for a year aren't we yeah
well they've got our money for a year so

1187
01:40:40,679 --> 01:40:46,860
why would we not just say yes they've
done a lot of money again I wasn't

1188
01:40:43,980 --> 01:40:52,199
trying to say turn them down what I was
trying to say and have them provide us

1189
01:40:49,380 --> 01:40:56,639
up you've not we don't have any you you
and I do not know anything about what

1190
01:40:54,600 --> 01:41:00,300
this Airport's discussed but yet we give
them five thousand dollars that they've

1191
01:40:58,199 --> 01:41:04,199
already got so that's what I'm saying it
don't matter well if it means we're

1192
01:41:02,100 --> 01:41:10,460
gonna be kicked out next month I guess
yes but if not why not have them come

1193
01:41:07,139 --> 01:41:10,460
speak to us well I agree

1194
01:41:16,639 --> 01:41:23,400
and then let's just check my vote would
be yes on this because they've done

1195
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:27,239
cashed our check
okay do we

1196
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:32,060
are there any more discussion or are we
ready to move on to take a motion and

1197
01:41:29,219 --> 01:41:37,920
second if we're ready to go with this
discussions done okay our move that we

1198
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:43,800
desire on this box to continue to be a
member of the airport commission with

1199
01:41:40,619 --> 01:41:49,800
the uh caveat that I agree with Ron that
we need to invite them here to see what

1200
01:41:46,139 --> 01:41:55,380
our five thousand dollars has gone for
a second I'll second it

1201
01:41:52,800 --> 01:42:01,020
have a moving second on the floor to
stay to check yes to still continue to

1202
01:41:58,860 --> 01:42:06,119
be a member of the Cumberlands airport
commission and ask them to come and

1203
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:14,179
attend a meeting all in favor please say
yes yes yes yes yes for me okay moving

1204
01:42:10,739 --> 01:42:14,179
on to item number B

1205
01:42:14,659 --> 01:42:22,860
item number B is a resolution to the of
the Dickinson County Board of

1206
01:42:20,699 --> 01:42:27,719
Supervisors declare in Dickinson County
to be a pro-life County

1207
01:42:26,460 --> 01:42:33,060
um
that we have discussion or who who has a

1208
01:42:31,380 --> 01:42:37,400
discussion that may have brought this
before the agenda or

1209
01:42:35,460 --> 01:42:43,139
I I
sponsored it but I um I just thought

1210
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:47,400
once more neighboring counties are doing
this I thought we should state where we

1211
01:42:45,540 --> 01:42:51,360
are on this issue
and that's the reason I brought it

1212
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:54,780
forward well I guess I co-sponsored it
with you and I agree and I'm very glad

1213
01:42:52,980 --> 01:42:59,699
you did it was something that was on my
radar as well

1214
01:42:56,239 --> 01:43:04,739
and the Crux of this resolution
maintains that our County that we have

1215
01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:09,980
absolutely no interest
in supporting

1216
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:16,920
or allowing any sort of abortion
Provisions services to be done inside

1217
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:21,000
this County and I'm very proud to have
co-sponsored this on our agenda with you

1218
01:43:19,139 --> 01:43:24,900
Ron and I'm glad you brought it to our
attention so

1219
01:43:22,260 --> 01:43:29,940
I don't have I like Mr Sturgill actually
drafted this

1220
01:43:26,340 --> 01:43:33,139
he took a I think the template we had
um and he drafted it specifically for us

1221
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:40,040
so
who else was on that email I think um I

1222
01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:40,040
think I was you

1223
01:43:41,820 --> 01:43:51,420
so I'm fine with it unless someone wants
us to read it we have Mr Sturgill's

1224
01:43:46,860 --> 01:43:54,840
approval yeah yeah he is premium word

1225
01:43:53,159 --> 01:44:00,540

01:44:42,420 --> 01:44:49,619
signs on the uh Dickinson County Board
of supervisor resolution

1236
01:44:47,239 --> 01:44:53,639
regarding signs on Dickinson County
property

1237
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:58,020
you expect I'll explain that Madam chair
thank you uh this we had this on the

1238
01:44:56,159 --> 01:45:02,699
agenda last night at the Ida meeting the
Ida owns the property here at the diesel

1239
01:45:00,300 --> 01:45:07,500
and they approved this uh resolution as
well all of our local counties around us

1240
01:45:04,619 --> 01:45:12,600
have similar resolutions and this is one
of theirs that Mr Sturgill adapted for

1241
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:16,260
Dickinson County on this basically what
it's saying it don't mean they can't fit

1242
01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:19,619
uh campaign signs up on Election Day
that's fine as they can in any other

1243
01:45:17,820 --> 01:45:24,600
polling place interest in the time
during the early voting that's going on

1244
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:28,320
now it started last Friday between then
and election day they can't be putting

1245
01:45:26,580 --> 01:45:32,880
election signs on the diesel property
here on the informational signs that are

1246
01:45:29,940 --> 01:45:37,380
placed by County Employees so
okay

1247
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:41,760
and Madam chair I'd make a motion unless
you're further discussion uh subject to

1248
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:45,780
further discussion that we've made some
resolution everybody has the right to

1249
01:45:44,580 --> 01:45:50,100
campaign
I'm I'm saying you know I put signs up

1250
01:45:48,480 --> 01:45:56,820
everywhere
I put them up on the highway department

1251
01:45:52,800 --> 01:46:03,199
right away than everybody else has too
but you know they're early voting so

1252
01:45:59,639 --> 01:46:03,199
many people don't know who is running

1253
01:46:07,260 --> 01:46:16,860
I have an issue
with them being everywhere or like 25 of

1254
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:20,639
one person
I would be

1255
01:46:18,659 --> 01:46:25,400
I would be happy if
everyone who's running has the right to

1256
01:46:22,679 --> 01:46:25,400
put up one side

1257
01:46:26,159 --> 01:46:36,380
because early voting is as important and
to me as going to my polls to vote and

1258
01:46:33,719 --> 01:46:36,380
putting up science

1259
01:46:40,020 --> 01:46:46,380
so whatever the pleasure of the board is
well I mean they both have one time well

1260
01:46:44,100 --> 01:46:51,659
I guess my thing is if we bring a
prospect here

1261
01:46:49,020 --> 01:46:55,560
um we bring you know other groups here
to this building this is our government

1262
01:46:53,280 --> 01:47:00,300
building
um and they don't maybe necessarily know

1263
01:46:57,719 --> 01:47:04,280
that we do our early voting here and
they see a bunch of

1264
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:09,540
campaign
stuff right at the entrance of the

1265
01:47:07,199 --> 01:47:14,159
government center The Hub of our
government and our Hub of our Ida I mean

1266
01:47:12,540 --> 01:47:17,639
why not
I'd like to have them down personally I

1267
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:21,239
don't think we need them right here in
the interest of our Hub of our County

1268
01:47:19,450 --> 01:47:27,119
[Music]
I think it looks awful and I just don't

1269
01:47:25,020 --> 01:47:33,619
know if you're sample they're not on
that property but there's several and

1270
01:47:29,699 --> 01:47:33,619
and I don't I don't personally

1271
01:47:34,159 --> 01:47:40,800
taxpayer home property
I think the signs and reptiles are now

1272
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:44,219
who's popular they are that's our tax
that's our other County property yeah

1273
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:48,960
they're all through towards the Boating
trailers

1274
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:52,320
now the early early voting signs and
stuff like that can stay right about

1275
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:56,340
their informational signs about many
employees

1276
01:47:54,780 --> 01:48:00,540
yeah says the informational stance
placed on digital property by counting

1277
01:47:57,840 --> 01:48:03,659
set are permitted so
the informational sounds like we have

1278
01:48:02,100 --> 01:48:07,980
the quilt show here that's an
informational sign advertising that

1279
01:48:05,100 --> 01:48:13,380
there's a quilt showing things those are
all permitted so

1280
01:48:10,440 --> 01:48:17,300
okay we have a motion on the floor
bye Josh is there a second

1281
01:48:18,540 --> 01:48:21,619
I'll second it

1282
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:33,000
moving second is on the floor to pass a
resolution to have only informational

1283
01:48:28,820 --> 01:48:37,679
signs only on the diesel property until
election day because then it's a polling

1284
01:48:35,699 --> 01:48:43,500
place
um I will in favor please say aye

1285
01:48:40,679 --> 01:48:49,460
aye as well any opposed I won't vote no
on it

1286
01:48:45,060 --> 01:48:49,460
so four yeses and one no

1287
01:48:51,060 --> 01:48:53,360
okay

1288
01:48:54,719 --> 01:49:07,020
okay moving on to item number D
uh new lease

1289
01:49:01,940 --> 01:49:12,060
uh regarding the uh some property up at
the truck shop I think

1290
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:16,080
in that vicinity is that where it is
okay I'll explain this

1291
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:20,580
um what this is right now currently
hillcom has a Tower located on truck

1292
01:49:18,480 --> 01:49:24,119
shop property right now and of course
that acquired that through their

1293
01:49:21,719 --> 01:49:27,840
purchase of DC wind and the other towers
that they bought some they acquired the

1294
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:31,400
land and some that maybe on County
property you know lease was given to

1295
01:49:29,699 --> 01:49:36,840
them for those Towers
they intend to construct a new tower

1296
01:49:34,580 --> 01:49:41,400
beside of the current Tower a better
Tower to service their customers better

1297
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:45,480
and during the process of that they were
looking to see what their lease said as

1298
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:49,500
far as how much land could they build a
new tower beside of their existing Tower

1299
01:49:47,219 --> 01:49:52,860
leave the existing one in service until
the new one's built and remove the

1300
01:49:51,060 --> 01:49:56,340
existing one and they realize they do
not currently have a lease for that

1301
01:49:54,480 --> 01:50:01,440
Tower that's there right now it must
have been an oversized something during

1302
01:49:57,659 --> 01:50:07,080
the process of the sale of DC win I have
a question and I apologize I called you

1303
01:50:04,500 --> 01:50:13,940
on this and I didn't cover this one
talks about utilities on page five or

1304
01:50:10,860 --> 01:50:19,320
page two number five
do we pay for any utilities there no I

1305
01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:23,940
don't think we did but I would think
don't we have equipment on there does

1306
01:50:21,540 --> 01:50:28,560
that get distributed somehow no it does
not even this allows us to look at our

1307
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:35,179
equipment on there at no charge then the
other question I got would be

1308
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:35,179
Insurance on page four

1309
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:43,679
what are we covering because it says
landlords shall attain and keep informed

1310
01:50:40,820 --> 01:50:46,820
keep in force
and shirts

1311
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:58,460
who directed this one they're keeping us

1312
01:50:58,820 --> 01:51:04,580
do you see why I'm asking I see you
because

1313
01:51:04,619 --> 01:51:07,400
on that

1314
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:16,139
but I do see what a good thing is they
said they'll list us we just need

1315
01:51:12,780 --> 01:51:21,000
confirmation as a payee but if I'm
reading that right we're the landlord

1316
01:51:18,719 --> 01:51:25,020
but shouldn't it be the least e well
you're reading it right I know what

1317
01:51:22,260 --> 01:51:29,760
you're exactly what you're saying yeah
and I'm sorry I didn't cover this one by

1318
01:51:27,420 --> 01:51:33,600
talking he's at the tower that we're
talking about or is it the property

1319
01:51:31,260 --> 01:51:40,860
we're talking about that's what we need
to be sure on well it's the property

1320
01:51:37,159 --> 01:51:45,000
hours from the real estate would be
covered by vancore

1321
01:51:42,420 --> 01:51:49,860
so maybe it's not an issue I don't know
a man it's not but I know what your

1322
01:51:48,239 --> 01:51:56,340
question is yeah and that's why the only
reason I asked is just to make sure and

1323
01:51:52,440 --> 01:52:02,100
then there's um then go to page five the
bottom of number 16.

1324
01:52:00,119 --> 01:52:06,320
um landlord shall be responsible for any
and all taxes related to the premises

1325
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:11,960
um
we don't pay taxes on it true

1326
01:52:12,440 --> 01:52:17,100
is there any and that the only reason
I'm bringing this up is there anything

1327
01:52:16,020 --> 01:52:22,440
that
I know the real estate's ours

1328
01:52:19,739 --> 01:52:27,540
is there anything equipment wise
what's premises means the real estate

1329
01:52:24,420 --> 01:52:31,920
yeah yeah no I understand that but I
just wanted uh there's been just through

1330
01:52:29,340 --> 01:52:36,659
the question is there any other taxes
involved in this business

1331
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:40,440
wouldn't be on us no it shouldn't be and
nothing Machinery tool on the equipment

1332
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:43,500
itself it would be assessed differently
it wouldn't be deemed the premise we

1333
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:47,040
don't pay any taxes because it's
tax-free that's the only reason I

1334
01:52:45,119 --> 01:52:52,679
flagged it yeah they would probably pay
a business personal property tax or

1335
01:52:49,440 --> 01:52:59,219
Machinery tool tax on the towels and
sale yeah so I don't know if any of that

1336
01:52:55,320 --> 01:53:05,010
matters I just wondered because um of
the uniqueness of it um

1337
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:08,510
foreign
[Applause]

1338
01:53:11,119 --> 01:53:19,560
but I know I'm not worried about it I I
think we're okay I just wanted to

1339
01:53:16,199 --> 01:53:24,659
clarify when it said property promises
just means the real estate

1340
01:53:21,780 --> 01:53:29,179
and utilities
they should pay the utilities for their

1341
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:29,179
equipment

1342
01:53:29,480 --> 01:53:36,480
they have a separate meter and stuff on
there yeah and they bill us for that so

1343
01:53:34,500 --> 01:53:44,580
that for our piece of that okay that's
all I want I want to make sure

1344
01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:49,639
I meant to cover that before this but
I'm fine with it if you guys feel safe

1345
01:53:47,219 --> 01:53:49,639
on it

1346
01:53:51,239 --> 01:53:56,179
all team to answer any of the questions
anybody else may have on this

1347
01:54:05,719 --> 01:54:15,900
okay no other questions do we do I hear
a motion moving forward to approve this

1348
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:21,480
lease
would we have to do it approve this

1349
01:54:18,480 --> 01:54:26,840
lease based on a couple of word changes
from landlord to Lisi

1350
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:32,400
like he mentioned there on page
before under the insurance I don't think

1351
01:54:29,820 --> 01:54:35,520
so because Dixon County uh in the
initial word of firmware called the

1352
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:40,380
landlord according to the definitions in
the first paragraph so oh okay oh is

1353
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:45,300
there any mowing up there
uh just be what we need to do anyway our

1354
01:54:42,780 --> 01:54:50,360
guys doing number five we're good I'll
move I'm good I guess okay

1355
01:54:51,960 --> 01:55:00,239
I noticed on page one in paragraph one
about premises it says

1356
01:54:57,659 --> 01:55:07,020
um as shown in red on the attached map
Mark to exhibit a and is part uh here

1357
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:12,119
too there is no exhibit a there was no
nothing else in there will that be

1358
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:17,159
an attachment to the lease or anything
is that supposed to be a map attached to

1359
01:55:14,639 --> 01:55:21,000
this loose my guess is there was an
original and this is just a renewal

1360
01:55:19,500 --> 01:55:26,280
that's my guess and that exhibit is
going to be with the original no this is

1361
01:55:22,679 --> 01:55:30,239
this is it wasn't original so um we did
not this is what we received in the

1362
01:55:28,199 --> 01:55:33,800
email from Miss Garrett from Freddy's
office

1363
01:55:31,679 --> 01:55:33,800
um

1364
01:55:34,639 --> 01:55:42,840
and wills looked at this and he's good
with it yeah that's all

1365
01:55:40,380 --> 01:55:49,280
okay well we should have the map there
it's referencing it yeah that's that's

1366
01:55:46,020 --> 01:55:49,280
one thing I asked Rick

1367
01:55:49,500 --> 01:55:54,360
okay
[Applause]

1368
01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:59,520
what is the pleasure of the board do we
have a motion to prove this lease with

1369
01:55:57,780 --> 01:56:05,300

Will Baptist Church
comments

1376
01:56:35,460 --> 01:56:44,340
yeah I got some um and I and this is
kind of pertaining to the rest of them

1377
01:56:41,460 --> 01:56:49,080
too and some of them we identify who's
responsible for mowing and stuff like

1378
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:51,560
that some of them have insurance some of
them don't

1379
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:58,980
um
one key thing with this next one

1380
01:56:55,739 --> 01:57:03,440
is it indicates that if there ever comes
a time where the it reverts back to us

1381
01:57:01,679 --> 01:57:10,739
as ownership
we have to if they've repaved the

1382
01:57:07,500 --> 01:57:16,020
the parking lot we have to
with um considering um what a

1383
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:20,520
depreciation appreciation pay them for
that night I just don't think we should

1384
01:57:18,060 --> 01:57:23,880
be doing that I think if they choose to
make improvements we're we're giving it

1385
01:57:22,380 --> 01:57:28,860
to them
Bargain Basement because there's no

1386
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:33,960
money really involved it just if they
want to make improvements

1387
01:57:31,380 --> 01:57:38,599
they're there with improvements and
and they they very much got to leave it

1388
01:57:40,940 --> 01:57:48,300
but but I also mention those other
things because I think that these other

1389
01:57:46,139 --> 01:57:52,199
leases we should thank our knees we
should have

1390
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:57,060
will look at them and we need to clean
them up to make sure we've covered all

1391
01:57:54,300 --> 01:58:03,619
those areas mowing if it's applicable
and state if it isn't it

1392
01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:09,179
insurance first
what's that it says they will not do

1393
01:58:06,840 --> 01:58:12,960
anything without approaching us they
give the

1394
01:58:10,980 --> 01:58:18,860
I would love to make a motion that we
approved to clinchco Free Will Baptist

1395
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:18,860
Church property at least to them

1396
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:33,719
okay we have a moving second on the
floor any comments

1397
01:58:31,679 --> 01:58:38,639
no I I really think we should be
cleaning this stuff up

1398
01:58:35,699 --> 01:58:43,139
as we go through this
that's you know and that's the reason I

1399
01:58:40,739 --> 01:58:48,239
pointed these things out um
is there any insurance requirements not

1400
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:55,139
in this one there's not what if someone
falls on the pavement worthy landowner

1401
01:58:52,500 --> 01:58:59,659
you know those kind of things
we have a responsibility to protect the

1402
01:58:57,480 --> 01:58:59,659
county

1403
01:58:59,960 --> 01:59:07,159
what's it going to hurt if we let our
lawyer clean these things up and get

1404
01:59:05,340 --> 01:59:12,659
them right
if that's necessary we'll probably clean

1405
01:59:09,900 --> 01:59:17,280
them up and get them right
see the same problem with himself let's

1406

1409
01:59:31,020 --> 01:59:38,340
we didn't um realize it or then we read
through it and we doesn't mean we

1410
01:59:36,119 --> 01:59:43,679

we we didn't know we had gas tanks

1411

1453
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:27,239
that was in our budget I pull it back
sure the six thousand dollars is what we

1454
02:03:24,239 --> 02:03:31,139
uh before but I just split into two
there's two different parts one is for

1455
02:03:28,980 --> 02:03:36,060
the uh like the college one is for the
senior citizens that's ASC and the other

1456
02:03:34,139 --> 02:03:41,699
locks for the college but since in two
different places on our budget so okay

1457
02:03:39,420 --> 02:03:46,920

that but these are people that are
transporting our citizens

1462
02:04:01,619 --> 02:04:08,639
are they involved in some kind of drug
testing program just a question

1463
02:04:06,659 --> 02:04:11,880
I honestly don't know but I would think
well I don't know because it's not

1464
02:04:10,500 --> 02:04:15,560
matching in there that's the only thing
if they have to have a CDL then they

1465
02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:21,420
would have to be said yeah
page two under drivers number two all

1466
02:04:19,500 --> 02:04:26,820
drivers will be subject to the drug and
alcohol testing program by the Federal

uh if I'm out on this uh and speaking

1478
02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:24,060
with Mr wood from ASI volunteer fire
department he has sent me two request uh

1479
02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:29,520
this one was urgent in nature as the
reason it's included in our package

1480
02:05:26,219 --> 02:05:34,560
other uh Hill to our next Workshop but
as you know they were involved in an

1481
02:05:31,860 --> 02:05:37,920
accident back in May I think it was and
they thought that their pumper was

1482
02:05:35,940 --> 02:05:42,420
totaled but it actually done 103 000
worth of damage to the truck uh it is in

1483
02:05:40,860 --> 02:05:45,119
Roanoke right now to be repaired and
they're trying to get parts for it

1484
02:05:43,800 --> 02:05:49,139
there's a delay in getting parts the
county received a check from the

1485
02:05:46,380 --> 02:05:52,619
insurance company and uh Mr wood
indicated to me that you know let's hold

1486
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:55,860
that until the truck's repaired in
Roanoke and he'll coordinate that with

1487
02:05:54,000 --> 02:06:00,540
me and we can send payment directly to
the shop doing the repairs on that at

1488
02:05:58,860 --> 02:06:05,340
the same time so they're down one truck
there their tanker truck is also down

1489
02:06:02,699 --> 02:06:12,000
right now and the estimate is about 5
thousand dollars to get it repaired and

1490
02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:16,500
basically they don't have funds to
get their other truck out and they're

1491
02:06:13,619 --> 02:06:20,219
basically half of a fleet right now
in trying to respond to fires and do

1492
02:06:18,840 --> 02:06:24,360
things I know this morning the fire on
breaks Park Road I think you all had a

1493
02:06:22,739 --> 02:06:29,940
chair for Scotty I think Prater
responded and along with Hasa and is

1494
02:06:27,540 --> 02:06:33,540
that rod
and apply parade real place we had three

1495
02:06:31,679 --> 02:06:37,619
that responded to that to help because
Hayes down on equipment right now they

1496
02:06:35,400 --> 02:06:41,340
really need their tanker and what kind
of put them in a bind too they had to

1497
02:06:39,239 --> 02:06:46,320
put a new roof on their station which
cost them eight thousand dollars

1498
02:06:43,260 --> 02:06:51,000
and uh their air packs are due a test
right now and it's going to cost them

1499
02:06:48,179 --> 02:06:56,400
four thousand dollars to have them
uh retested and approved and and

1500
02:06:54,960 --> 02:06:59,099
basically they don't have the money to
do these things they're asking for

1501
02:06:57,599 --> 02:07:01,440
seventeen thousand dollars for us to
help them out

1502
02:07:00,119 --> 02:07:05,159

02:08:52,020 --> 02:08:55,580
any opposed

1525
02:08:55,739 --> 02:09:05,639
okay moving on to G
aveco annual conference approval which

1526
02:09:03,239 --> 02:09:11,520
is being held I think in Richmond this
year around November

1527
02:09:08,719 --> 02:09:14,960
13th 14th range somewhere through there
never think many Church November 13th

1528
02:09:13,679 --> 02:09:19,020
through the 15th
it is uh in your packet there the

1529
02:09:17,580 --> 02:09:24,840
information that came the registration
form uh we included it in the packet and

1530
02:09:22,500 --> 02:09:28,199
I know our clerk Miss Lyle has sent an
email out a couple times asking you know

1531
02:09:26,639 --> 02:09:32,460
if any members would be interested in
attending this and uh to date I think Mr

1532
02:09:31,080 --> 02:09:36,960
Peter is the only one that responded
that was interested in attending the uh

1533
02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:41,219
the conference this year uh Miss less
indicated to me that you know she might

1534
02:09:39,480 --> 02:09:47,239
have an interest in it as well is that
greatness you don't know about

1535
02:09:43,440 --> 02:09:47,239
it was not the current situations

1536
02:09:47,520 --> 02:09:58,440
to go because my husband and so forth
I would like to go but I don't think I

1537
02:09:54,900 --> 02:10:01,860
can right now or then and So based upon
our uh

1538
02:09:59,940 --> 02:10:06,540
updated travel
um policy that we done last year or

1539
02:10:05,099 --> 02:10:11,340
actually things earlier this year maybe
January February something like that any

1540
02:10:09,719 --> 02:10:14,880
travel within the county it goes through
kind of a two-step process there's a

1541
02:10:13,199 --> 02:10:19,199
forum an authorization form that's
completed it's signed off by the

1542
02:10:16,860 --> 02:10:22,739
supervisor in that department and then
is forwarded to me for approval and my

1543
02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:26,480
approval is basically looking to make
sure we have budgeted funds to cover

1544
02:10:24,239 --> 02:10:30,719
those trips
then it's returned and once they take

1545
02:10:28,980 --> 02:10:36,840
their trip and come back they submit a
reimbursement form that shows what their

1546
02:10:33,719 --> 02:10:40,860
actual expenses were and all everything
is verified that it's an eligible

1547
02:10:38,280 --> 02:10:44,760
expense but if it's a board member
travel uh on that that's kind of above

1548
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:48,300
my head that I can't approve and we
decided during our policy that those

1549
02:10:46,139 --> 02:10:53,280
would come back to the full form for
consideration on that so looking at the

1550
02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:57,679
conference it would be
um November 13th through the 15th but it

1551
02:10:56,040 --> 02:11:02,639
would be two nights
and attending the conference for two

1552
02:10:59,940 --> 02:11:08,040
days the 14th and 15th and the total
estimated cost uh or maximum cost

1553
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:13,139
basically would be the registration the
fuel for a County vehicle uh two nights

1554
02:11:10,679 --> 02:11:19,139
in a hotel and then the mules based on
the meal allowance would be 928 dollars

1555
02:11:16,199 --> 02:11:23,639
on that and if Mr Peters goes then I
guess I will go with him on that we

1556
02:11:22,080 --> 02:11:28,739
route the same vehicle and things so
mine would be a little less but um

1557
02:11:25,980 --> 02:11:33,179
except for the board's consideration
this is one conference that I attended

1558
02:11:30,960 --> 02:11:36,480
last year I think it was and you have no
free time

1559
02:11:34,199 --> 02:11:40,320
I mean meetings are eight o'clock in the
morning until five in the evening and

1560
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:46,560
then if you're going back to the dinner
it's at six you you you don't you're not

1561
02:11:43,679 --> 02:11:50,280
outrun the roads and there's meetings
there's meetings from one room to one

1562
02:11:49,080 --> 02:11:55,800
room
I mean it's

1563
02:11:52,860 --> 02:12:00,239
they keep you busy and you can't go to
everything no because there's more

1564
02:11:58,139 --> 02:12:05,820
there's two or three things going out on
at once so what we do is we split up so

1565
02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:10,320
one goes to one meeting and now there's
those the other

1566
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:14,639
I just think they should move it back
halfway through the stage we used to

1567
02:12:12,840 --> 02:12:20,159
have it in Bath County all the time that
wasn't too bad for us

1568
02:12:17,219 --> 02:12:24,000
but now they're having an enrichment in
Norfolk and I don't think that's right I

1569
02:12:22,380 --> 02:12:29,699
think isn't Norfolk still under
renovation I thought I heard that yeah I

1570
02:12:27,060 --> 02:12:34,440
thought Norfolk uh or not Norfolk but I
mean it's still under Renovations

1571
02:12:32,119 --> 02:12:39,599
did they say last year that it would
probably go back there in another couple

1572
02:12:36,719 --> 02:12:42,420
of years once Renovations was done they
thought Richmond this year and then back

1573
02:12:40,980 --> 02:12:46,760
to Homestead next year is what they
thought last year so that's what I

1574
02:12:44,099 --> 02:12:46,760
thought that they said

1575
02:12:46,920 --> 02:12:49,920
foreign

1576
02:12:56,840 --> 02:13:04,380
motion and a second to approve
Mr Peters and possibly

1577
02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:10,560
um
Mr Martin attending this

1578
02:13:08,280 --> 02:13:15,840
I attended last year but I'm having knee
surgery and I can't go

1579
02:13:13,679 --> 02:13:18,380
there's not even thought of me trying to
go this time

1580
02:13:22,320 --> 02:13:27,920
they're very informative meetings but I
don't want to go

1581
02:13:30,239 --> 02:13:40,800
being there done that I don't want to go
do we have a move in second to approve

1582
02:13:37,860 --> 02:13:46,020
I'll make a movie approve it
for those two those to attend

1583
02:13:43,619 --> 02:13:51,540
we're members we paid those into the bay
code yes

1584
02:13:48,900 --> 02:13:56,480
Rebecca
do I hear a second

1585
02:13:53,400 --> 02:13:56,480
I'll second it

1586
02:13:57,179 --> 02:14:03,780
have a moving second on the floor to
approve the vaco annual conference to be

1587
02:14:01,860 --> 02:14:11,880
held in Richmond on November 13th
through the 15th all in favor please say

1588
02:14:06,719 --> 02:14:11,880
aye aye aye as well India post opposed

1589
02:14:12,360 --> 02:14:21,420
okay four yeses and one no
moving on down to number eight the

1590
02:14:18,239 --> 02:14:24,920
transfer station schedule
happened

1591
02:14:23,340 --> 02:14:31,199
okay
you have

1592
02:14:27,900 --> 02:14:35,219
dude let me read this off or you got
comments I didn't know Madam chair I

1593
02:14:33,360 --> 02:14:39,659
think Mr Evans requested to put this on
the agenda and after that I don't know

1594
02:14:38,219 --> 02:14:43,139
if he talks about the transfer station
or whatever but Toby sent me this report

1595
02:14:41,639 --> 02:14:46,860
so maybe you talked to the guys or
something they'll be rich out to me and

1596
02:14:45,659 --> 02:14:52,980
wanted to share the last time they were
open on Saturday what their volume was

1597
02:14:48,659 --> 02:14:59,040
uh on that so and I understand those
numbers and it's hard to correlate

1598
02:14:56,940 --> 02:15:04,980
the grapping and complaining in the
community with these numbers nonetheless

1599
02:15:01,500 --> 02:15:09,480
I do it just seems to me to be common
sense to offer at least a half a day

1600
02:15:07,020 --> 02:15:13,440
Saturday option I mean I don't you know
I work all day I don't know if I needed

1601
02:15:11,639 --> 02:15:18,239
to go to the transfer station I couldn't
go on a weekday it's either miss a court

1602
02:15:16,320 --> 02:15:24,119
appearance or miss something and have to
go so as a suggestion I would say and

1603
02:15:22,440 --> 02:15:27,119
this is the other thing I want to point
out

1604
02:15:25,079 --> 02:15:30,540
the other concern here is if someone
comes in Friday and fills it up the

1605
02:15:29,040 --> 02:15:34,619
truck
then if they can't take no more well I

1606
02:15:33,179 --> 02:15:39,320
mean then you shut down I mean I get
that well why can't guarantee that a lot

1607
02:15:40,440 --> 02:15:45,540
we can support our ferment according to
what Toby tell me is or for me it's the

1608
02:15:44,219 --> 02:15:51,119
way we're permitted we can't leave trash
on the floor we can't have a place for a

1609
02:15:48,060 --> 02:15:54,060
dumpster like outside the gates or or we
could have the truck shop have you

1610
02:15:52,679 --> 02:15:57,000
studied the schedule piece of this
anymore

1611
02:15:54,980 --> 02:15:59,760
as far as looking at beyond what we
talked about I think we'd have to have

1612
02:15:58,199 --> 02:16:07,980
like a part-time person to float out
like a regular another idea would be off

1613
02:16:03,480 --> 02:16:13,920
maybe we flexed the one Friday night or
whatever day of the week a month and so

1614
02:16:10,860 --> 02:16:18,420
it's open later what do we have to do we
have to change I don't think where I go

1615
02:16:16,079 --> 02:16:24,239
and again it's hard for me to correlate
and well this was 14 years ago right

1616
02:16:23,280 --> 02:16:26,820
um
so it's hard to believe it's been that

1617
02:16:25,440 --> 02:16:30,840
it's been that long since I did Saturday
so I don't think it's been that long ago

1618
02:16:28,199 --> 02:16:34,200
yeah Dale I was there at the meeting I
wasn't on the board then when they

1619
02:16:32,700 --> 02:16:38,280
opened it up
and then uh after and Shelby you were on

1620
02:16:37,260 --> 02:16:42,479
the board
you guys carried it for a while and then

1621
02:16:40,439 --> 02:16:47,340
it became evident that it really wasn't
utilized very much Madam chairman speak

1622
02:16:45,540 --> 02:16:54,120
yes
my idea is to have a walk through they

1623
02:16:52,200 --> 02:16:59,399
could walk through
just a small walkway to walk through to

1624
02:16:56,880 --> 02:17:05,760
take household garbage only
not back a truck up and unload Lumber or

1625
02:17:03,540 --> 02:17:14,639
whatever household
uh messy house so well just uh trash

1626
02:17:10,500 --> 02:17:19,380
only just bag trash on a walk through it
that's what we have at Yates Chapel

1627
02:17:17,099 --> 02:17:25,200
playground we have a walk through and we
keep the gate locked keep ATVs out

1628
02:17:22,740 --> 02:17:30,359
and are you suggesting this at the truck
shop yes I'm suggesting maybe

1629
02:17:27,359 --> 02:17:30,359
transportation

1630
02:17:30,620 --> 02:17:38,639
I mean at the transfer station well no
that would be something important maybe

1631
02:17:36,120 --> 02:17:43,859
up at the truck shop itself they have a
garbage bin out there yes

1632
02:17:40,679 --> 02:17:47,639
if they had just a small walkway in that
you can't get a vehicle through you have

1633
02:17:45,359 --> 02:17:52,139
to walk through and put a bag of garbage
in

1634
02:17:49,679 --> 02:17:58,880
yeah are you talking about at the
transfer station I'm talking about

1635
02:17:54,559 --> 02:17:58,880
they have a garbage can up there

1636
02:17:58,979 --> 02:18:00,979
um

1637
02:18:04,260 --> 02:18:10,320
uh problem is somebody getting in there
and

1638
02:18:07,920 --> 02:18:13,320
it's a Mischief I guess
well that's the only thing that Madam

1639
02:18:12,420 --> 02:18:18,420
chair
I and I like the idea but

1640
02:18:16,080 --> 02:18:22,920
I don't know that
it may solve some of it but I think

1641
02:18:20,880 --> 02:18:27,899
we're going to see most of this need is
is if someone's working a project that

1642
02:18:25,380 --> 02:18:32,160
they're exactly right and they um and
they have to be able to now for this to

1643
02:18:30,359 --> 02:18:36,179
have a walk through in the transfer
station we'd have to check because

1644
02:18:33,780 --> 02:18:40,080
there's probably some security things
and we get we you know because those are

1645
02:18:38,399 --> 02:18:45,540
under alarms
and stuff that we would have to

1646
02:18:43,019 --> 02:18:50,460
approach and I don't know I think we
could always put up a camera chair at

1647
02:18:47,939 --> 02:18:54,780
this point I'm making a motion that we
instruct our County Administrator to

1648
02:18:52,679 --> 02:19:00,620
open the transfer station a half a day
on Saturday that's my motion

1649
02:18:57,780 --> 02:19:05,460
and then if it does work in three months
well that's what I'm saying

1650
02:19:03,540 --> 02:19:09,179
do we know that I know it's a problem
because I have more attraction out of

1651
02:19:07,320 --> 02:19:13,679
everything I hear about it
and we're trying to find I don't want it

1652
02:19:11,040 --> 02:19:17,219
hanging around my garage that long
so

1653
02:19:14,939 --> 02:19:21,420
you know a lot of people sleep over here
in Clintwood and use theirs and it's a

1654
02:19:19,260 --> 02:19:26,160
mess up there I haven't been up there I
don't use it but nevertheless I think we

1655
02:19:24,420 --> 02:19:32,040
could try it for a little while see how
it goes

1656
02:19:28,019 --> 02:19:36,439
how often I said every Saturday from 9
to 12.

1657
02:19:34,679 --> 02:19:40,740
for three months
I said we just leave I mean we could

1658
02:19:38,580 --> 02:19:44,519
always bring it back on the agenda I
wouldn't put any if it doesn't work yeah

1659
02:19:42,840 --> 02:19:48,439
I mean it could all anytime be put back
on the agenda if it does we can extend

1660
02:19:46,200 --> 02:19:48,439
it

1661
02:19:48,920 --> 02:19:54,479
is
[Music]

1662
02:19:51,620 --> 02:20:01,439
coordinate with uh Toby with the Waste
Authority because our families

1663
02:19:57,740 --> 02:20:04,859
that's the other thing the permit to
four minutes and Friday is what he just

1664
02:20:03,240 --> 02:20:07,560
sent me a message or just a second ago
but we'll tell them to check it I mean I

1665
02:20:06,479 --> 02:20:10,500
don't know let's check on it I'm seeing
we can do it we'll check because this

1666
02:20:08,640 --> 02:20:15,859
process you know whatever oops we have
to jump through and we do like what an

1667
02:20:12,479 --> 02:20:15,859
h12 maybe to give them a four hour

1668
02:20:16,460 --> 02:20:24,240
got to hire someone too
uh if it's just a half day then it's

1669
02:20:21,359 --> 02:20:30,060
possible we could uh one and a part-time
we can list my off you know Mr if we had

1670
02:20:27,840 --> 02:20:33,600
to reduce the holidays because they
didn't want to work on holidays so

1671
02:20:31,620 --> 02:20:38,819
they're not going to work on Saturday
either well we had three off today I

1672
02:20:36,960 --> 02:20:43,859
miss you have to have two people there

1674
02:20:46,800 --> 02:20:53,580
off a half day on Monday or something
the same week you could do something to

1675
02:20:52,080 --> 02:20:57,479
get your people there on Saturday
without having to try to hire additional

1676
02:20:55,020 --> 02:21:02,100
help so why can't we I know we went over
this

1677
02:20:59,640 --> 02:21:06,840
ad nauseam and I don't want to start it
now but at least right now Waukee we

1678
02:21:05,280 --> 02:21:11,100
have a community service worker down
there with a an employee do they do that

1679
02:21:09,660 --> 02:21:13,460
on weekends yeah they'll do whatever we
tell them to or whatever the case tells

1680
02:21:12,720 --> 02:21:17,760
them
to tell someone from the sheriff's

1681
02:21:15,720 --> 02:21:22,080
department to have to watch it no it
doesn't okay I'm just asking

1682
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:26,640
Derek Eric
I think you could you just have to have

1683
02:21:23,520 --> 02:21:28,880
you know a certified operator there in
the scales and smack them running the

1684
02:21:27,899 --> 02:21:34,040
letters
with I guess bony or whoever's or I

1685
02:21:32,040 --> 02:21:38,580
guess maybe uh Toby
and they'll work out those details but

1686
02:21:36,479 --> 02:21:42,899
he can do it on a Saturday well the
reason I brought that up is a few years

1687
02:21:40,319 --> 02:21:48,120
ago we talked about using those guys or
something and there was a snag with the

1688
02:21:45,120 --> 02:21:52,859
weekends that's why as far as it because
they know something wrong which I'll

1689
02:21:51,060 --> 02:21:56,399
admitted if I am but they will do it
again

1690
02:21:53,720 --> 02:22:01,800
I'm not sure of anything we tried we
talked about it had to do with um

1691
02:21:59,460 --> 02:22:05,939
it was your idea of Josh you wanted to
handle the bathrooms

1692
02:22:03,720 --> 02:22:10,140
but we've got go ahead I'm sorry you you
wanted to use those guys for something

1693
02:22:07,620 --> 02:22:13,859
that would involve oh it was the cleanup
of the parks the bathrooms that's where

1694
02:22:12,359 --> 02:22:17,340
the grass yeah that's what you're saying
yeah

1695
02:22:15,240 --> 02:22:22,380
and that because the problem with the
weekends I know for a fact they're

1696
02:22:19,500 --> 02:22:25,979
begging for locations and things for
these people to do so

1697
02:22:24,120 --> 02:22:28,859
I don't see
if that I mean I don't see it being a

1698
02:22:27,840 --> 02:22:32,580
problem but
everything we do seems like there's a

1699
02:22:30,660 --> 02:22:36,080
problem but I don't see it as I'm
sitting here how it could be a problem

1700
02:22:37,319 --> 02:22:45,420
and I'm not trying to enter with that
but I mean it was a problem so well I'm

1701
02:22:43,380 --> 02:22:50,399
just saying let Larry and Derek and Toby
figure it out I'm saying I want and my

1702
02:22:48,180 --> 02:22:54,600
motion is that we offer a Saturday hours
for our taxpayers and people that work

1703
02:22:52,979 --> 02:22:59,160
full-time jobs to be able to take their
trash if it comes up in six months they

1704
02:22:56,880 --> 02:23:04,220
don't use it or we can't man it then
okay we'll put it back on the agenda but

1705
02:23:01,020 --> 02:23:04,220
that's my motion Madam chair

1706
02:23:05,899 --> 02:23:13,460
Larry and Derek
figure out how and told me how to figure

1707
02:23:10,680 --> 02:23:16,620
out it may take two or three weeks
you know y'all voted in then we'll

1708
02:23:15,600 --> 02:23:19,920
definitely find a way to make it work
it's definitely a problem because I live

1709
02:23:18,120 --> 02:23:24,479
on County Ridge and I think ran overs
are you know sit your garbage out once a

1710
02:23:22,319 --> 02:23:29,100
week I do but something about honey I
got more garbage now they ever had I

1711
02:23:26,880 --> 02:23:32,640
don't know why it is okay we have a
moving second on the floor uh to

1712
02:23:32,100 --> 02:23:39,720
um
uh allowed the transfer station or work

1713
02:23:35,880 --> 02:23:44,760
out an agreement to get the or a plan to
get the transfer station open to Hypha

1714
02:23:41,760 --> 02:23:49,680
day on Saturday from 8 to 12 right nine
my suggestions nine to twelve nine to

1715
02:23:47,040 --> 02:23:53,220
twelve okay but I would like to if I
made Madam chair and we don't have our

1716
02:23:51,240 --> 02:23:57,540
Council here but I would leave it that's
my suggestion but subject to Mr Barton

1717
02:23:55,680 --> 02:24:01,740
he may figure something out that's
better or I don't want that to be in

1718
02:23:59,939 --> 02:24:07,500
concrete half a day maybe half a day
however Mr Martin can coordinate it okay

1719
02:24:04,280 --> 02:24:14,840
all right all in favor please say aye
aye aye as well I don't know until I see

1720
02:24:09,420 --> 02:24:14,840
how that comes back my words no answer

1721
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:24,840
three yeses and two no's on that we'll
get started on that and see what we can

1722
02:24:21,899 --> 02:24:32,939
get worked out as quickly as we can
okay uh I the added item for the

1723
02:24:30,240 --> 02:24:36,300
resolution for come on Plateau planning
district Commission

1724
02:24:34,800 --> 02:24:43,500
and that's a loose item that was
attached to the adhesive yeah

1725
02:24:39,500 --> 02:24:48,240
this is uh uh probably kicking a dead
horse that I've kicked every meeting for

1726
02:24:46,439 --> 02:24:53,040
three years but I'm going to continue to
kick it and stomp it uh this is a

1727
02:24:51,120 --> 02:24:57,240
resolution that I drafted there's typos
in it because I was in a rush to get it

1728
02:24:54,720 --> 02:25:03,120
to Teresa by Friday or excuse me by
Thursday this

1729
02:25:00,420 --> 02:25:07,020
uh piggybacks on the problem that we
faced as a board collectively since we

1730
02:25:05,700 --> 02:25:11,819
all took office
and that's internet connections to our

1731
02:25:09,300 --> 02:25:15,180
families in Dickinson County and I'm not
going to be a broken record you all

1732
02:25:13,380 --> 02:25:19,800
heard this we've all heard this we've
done everything we can do to try to get

1733
02:25:17,640 --> 02:25:24,960
information to Citizens and families
about when where

1734
02:25:22,319 --> 02:25:30,319
and what provider is available to
families in Dickinson County and as I

1735
02:25:27,660 --> 02:25:37,260
sit here today being a almost three-year
member of this board I can't

1736
02:25:33,420 --> 02:25:44,640
tell any of my constituents any concrete
information about when where what kind

1737
02:25:41,640 --> 02:25:51,720
what provider is going to come to their
residence on pound River in bar pan on

1738
02:25:47,640 --> 02:25:55,260
Camp Creek in 6 on 611 in tivis three
years

1739
02:25:52,859 --> 02:25:59,580
we've spent money we spent our own money
we've done everything we can do we

1740
02:25:57,300 --> 02:26:04,920
brought Scotty Wampler here he told us
nothing I like Scotty this is not a shot

1741
02:26:01,620 --> 02:26:09,479
of Scotty we've I've wrote letters I've
withdrawn from the board I've done

1742
02:26:06,840 --> 02:26:14,640
everything that I know to do to help my
people and that's what I took an oath to

1743
02:26:11,819 --> 02:26:18,780
do and that's what I'm trying to do so
this resolution we give Cumberland

1744
02:26:17,220 --> 02:26:23,040
Plateau planning district commission
almost ten thousand well almost nine

1745
02:26:20,460 --> 02:26:26,160
thousand dollars quarterly we get and I
know you that was a swipe you done

1746
02:26:24,479 --> 02:26:31,439
earlier that the sewer the sewers run
right by Kiwanis for a hundred years

1747
02:26:28,859 --> 02:26:35,939
they've had sewer and hayside since so
you're excited let me finish

1748
02:26:33,899 --> 02:26:39,200
and they're getting and we can pay out
of that nine thousand dollars for you to

1749
02:26:37,560 --> 02:26:45,600
go to Portland for you to go to Alaska
and we get nothing

1750
02:26:42,060 --> 02:26:49,859
why can we why can't I tell my family on
bearpen when they can have internet for

1751
02:26:48,120 --> 02:26:55,140
their kid to go to school why can't you
get me that answer for 500 a month and

1752
02:26:52,979 --> 02:26:59,880
trips across to Alaska and Florida and
Portland everywhere else why can't I

1753
02:26:56,819 --> 02:27:05,760
learn that so my resolution is that we
actually do something take action send

1754
02:27:03,720 --> 02:27:13,380
them a resolution and say we want this
information we want to know when you our

1755
02:27:09,960 --> 02:27:18,240
citizens that pay taxes that fund this
planning district commission when we're

1756
02:27:16,200 --> 02:27:22,680
going to get the internet that you took
our grant money from that we've tried to

1757
02:27:20,580 --> 02:27:27,120
get for three years when are we going to
get it that's a formal concrete move

1758
02:27:24,720 --> 02:27:31,319
that this resolution doesn't take the
money away it says though if we don't

1759
02:27:29,520 --> 02:27:35,220
get the information we are going to take
the money away

1760
02:27:32,700 --> 02:27:40,140
and so with this board is too cowardly
or if you like your Portland trip so

1761
02:27:37,380 --> 02:27:44,220
much or your 500 a month stopping so
much and are too scared to do it then

1762
02:27:42,060 --> 02:27:49,200
that's fine but I'm not going to sit
back and be critiqued for three years

1763
02:27:46,859 --> 02:27:54,000
I've told my citizens I'm going to try
to get you internet and for three years

1764
02:27:51,240 --> 02:27:58,200
the board you sit on that pays you 500 a
month that sends you across the country

1765
02:27:55,620 --> 02:28:01,280
hasn't given so that's my movement that
we approve this resolution

1766
02:28:03,800 --> 02:28:09,319
Shelby you can go first Ron you follow
Shelby you know

1767
02:28:09,800 --> 02:28:17,939
one Broadband is a private organization
they have the grants for all Dickinson

1768
02:28:16,140 --> 02:28:23,100
County the Four County
no one can get a grant in Dickinson

1769
02:28:20,460 --> 02:28:29,160
County other than Point Broadband they
have body one body one is a two-year

1770
02:28:26,100 --> 02:28:34,080
grant that
they use the body one first then they

1771
02:28:31,979 --> 02:28:39,080
use body two and I want to clarify who
contracts with Point Broadband body one

1772
02:28:36,660 --> 02:28:46,280
yeah
I couldn't care less I'm speaking to you

1773
02:28:41,580 --> 02:28:46,280
well who contracts with Point broadband

1774
02:28:46,399 --> 02:28:50,540
who contracts with Point Broadway

1775
02:28:51,260 --> 02:28:59,240
it's a private company they give us lots
of information you

1776
02:28:56,520 --> 02:29:06,060
and we're supposed to have body one
completed by

1777
02:29:01,939 --> 02:29:11,819
2024. am I correct and two by early 20s
and then the next is Marty two they have

1778
02:29:08,580 --> 02:29:15,479
two years to do body two but they are
way ahead of schedule I can tell you

1779
02:29:13,740 --> 02:29:20,100
that
um

1780
02:29:16,260 --> 02:29:25,979
internet is not fast I can tell you I
was born five years getting it in my

1781
02:29:22,920 --> 02:29:30,120
district from one didn't you say your
son just got starlink and he's on Kenny

1782
02:29:28,020 --> 02:29:36,780
Ridge you don't have nothing is that not
an embarrassment no because it would be

1783
02:29:32,760 --> 02:29:41,100
to me Scott County's Grand only did not
allow them to cross another

1784
02:29:39,240 --> 02:29:48,420
uh provider
my son lives were Comcast is

1785
02:29:44,880 --> 02:29:54,720
uh Scott County could not cross them
with their Grant because they their

1786
02:29:51,180 --> 02:29:59,040
Grant would not allow them so uh I know
your frustration but it's just like me

1787
02:29:57,120 --> 02:30:04,620
asking you to give me a list of all your
clients no that's confidential

1788
02:30:01,939 --> 02:30:09,300
Cumberland plateau and point Broadband
get taxpayer money

1789
02:30:06,680 --> 02:30:15,180
from the Virginia telephonic
communication initiative is tax money

1790
02:30:11,780 --> 02:30:19,380
and you and your board vote to contract
with Point broadband and they do nothing

1791
02:30:17,240 --> 02:30:24,660
and you're sitting here defending it
where's body one where is that going can

1792
02:30:21,720 --> 02:30:29,640
you tell me that for 500 a month where
is Body one where's that being get 500 a

1793
02:30:27,600 --> 02:30:34,859
month how much do you get 200 a month
okay we're there four times a month

1794
02:30:32,760 --> 02:30:40,080
we've been there four times a month well
where is Body one connecting families in

1795
02:30:37,319 --> 02:30:43,319
Dickinson County can you or Ron tell me
that

1796
02:30:41,100 --> 02:30:46,399
well I do know that they've connected
some in Ron's history

1797
02:30:48,560 --> 02:30:55,200
is that a coincidence
the Yankton River like not 611. they're

1798
02:30:53,939 --> 02:30:59,760
not tivas
bad term America

1799
02:30:56,660 --> 02:31:03,060
yes I flush right with two I stopped
these fillers and asked them what

1800
02:31:00,960 --> 02:31:06,840
they're doing and they're they're part
my Brad has contracted out to a

1801
02:31:05,100 --> 02:31:11,580
contractor they contracted out to
another contractor that's what they're

1802
02:31:08,819 --> 02:31:16,920
doing to get it done Josh you can't get
no you can't get no clear answer to save

1803
02:31:13,620 --> 02:31:22,020
your life I mean I I found River I'm not
compound River barefoot in Cave Creek uh

1804
02:31:19,439 --> 02:31:25,740
Miss slush you missed the last common
Plateau meeting that we had in the

1805
02:31:23,819 --> 02:31:30,479
breaks that we sponsored well there's no
point you can get information I don't

1806
02:31:28,200 --> 02:31:34,560
know why I Shelby but I had to go back
look I didn't miss it when that's my

1807
02:31:32,939 --> 02:31:38,960
turn you've missed a lot of meetings
this weekend and I've been a lot of

1808
02:31:36,300 --> 02:31:41,960
things this weekend as I recall
okay

1809
02:31:43,160 --> 02:31:51,240
but I try to participate and you're
gonna throw up something like that City

1810
02:31:48,080 --> 02:31:58,140
I did I had I have sickness in my family
shelving but nevertheless uh I'm not I'm

1811
02:31:55,560 --> 02:32:03,540
not this I'm not I don't think there's
my law that we can withhold money can we

1812
02:32:00,800 --> 02:32:08,040
absolutely we are and we don't I can
call the attorney we appropriate the

1813
02:32:05,520 --> 02:32:14,100
money we can vote to withhold we pay
them every month uh Larry it's 35 000 a

1814
02:32:11,520 --> 02:32:17,939
year we divide that into four payments a
little less nine thousand dollars each

1815
02:32:15,479 --> 02:32:22,620
year I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not
going to get I'm not getting mad about

1816
02:32:20,160 --> 02:32:28,740
it I'm just saying that it is very
frustrating I'm like Josh that we can't

1817
02:32:26,040 --> 02:32:33,200
get no answer from from them it is
frustrating I'm gonna let Ron's because

1818
02:32:33,500 --> 02:32:41,819
let me just clarify some things yes
Scotty Wampler came and spoke and he

02:32:39,720 --> 02:32:48,180
explained everything then oh we didn't
yes he did no we didn't and here's the

1820
02:32:44,819 --> 02:32:53,520
thing okay I'm speaking though okay
now listen

1821
02:32:50,880 --> 02:32:58,200
I'll point you know you said you beat a
dead horse for it's now three years two

1822
02:32:56,819 --> 02:33:01,140
years of that you were on the board and
you didn't show up to any of the

1823
02:32:59,340 --> 02:33:05,960
meetings hardly because it was a waste
of my time yeah

1824
02:33:03,260 --> 02:33:09,960
that's your best opportunity to voice
now some things I'm going to point out

1825
02:33:08,760 --> 02:33:14,340
to you
in your resolution

1826
02:33:11,600 --> 02:33:18,920
CPC holds millions of dollars a grant
funding awarded through the Virginia

1827
02:33:15,859 --> 02:33:25,560
telecommunications initiative
CPC facilitated the graph but it's

1828
02:33:22,380 --> 02:33:31,200
coming it is point Broadband that gets
those monies the CPC just manages it as

1829
02:33:29,340 --> 02:33:35,399
a pay down they're not holding on to any
money

1830
02:33:32,100 --> 02:33:41,760
and then you go on to the next page you
want to withhold their money

1831
02:33:37,939 --> 02:33:47,640
and and here's the thing last month we
just got a hundred thousand dollars from

1832
02:33:44,220 --> 02:33:51,660
CPC for Water Project up on low gap you
go to the corner low gap and Edwards

1833
02:33:50,160 --> 02:33:57,660
Ridge and there's a big sign that's
going to help that project

1834
02:33:54,000 --> 02:34:05,819
in the last since CPC has been on the
book since 1962 1968 to 2022

1835
02:34:03,180 --> 02:34:13,380
for the four counties it's helped
facilitate over 200 million dollars 202

1836
02:34:10,319 --> 02:34:18,420
201 million dollars to the four counties
for water projects and part of this

1837
02:34:16,500 --> 02:34:26,399
internet thing that you're talking about
it was CPC that worked with the Economic

1838
02:34:23,399 --> 02:34:31,920
Development Authority to get the funds
to initially put the fiber highways

1839
02:34:29,760 --> 02:34:36,780
through the four counties now the thing
was when they did that they were not

1840
02:34:34,800 --> 02:34:42,720
allowed to give it to Citizens it was
for businesses only Economic Development

1841
02:34:40,080 --> 02:34:47,460
park it they had a 10-year relationship
with bvu where they were supposed to be

1842
02:34:45,420 --> 02:34:54,359
getting revenues and it wasn't happening
so that or this started to shake loose

1843
02:34:52,140 --> 02:34:58,979
and they reached out to a private
company

1844
02:34:55,800 --> 02:35:03,660
to run this and that private company to
get a private company to come in they're

1845
02:35:01,680 --> 02:35:07,680
contractually not required to give us
any information

1846
02:35:04,920 --> 02:35:13,920
body one was lit and I explained this
last time with no contingencies for them

1847
02:35:11,340 --> 02:35:20,340
to develop anything when body two starts
they are going to require

1848
02:35:16,500 --> 02:35:24,899
Point Broadband to provide kind of a
dashboard that shows us where they're

1849
02:35:21,780 --> 02:35:30,540
hooking up we are all frustrated that we
haven't seen a lot of activity

1850
02:35:27,720 --> 02:35:34,080
on this because they're they're going
around four different counties

1851
02:35:31,979 --> 02:35:38,280
installing and they haven't sat in one
District they've been doubting clinchco

1852
02:35:36,180 --> 02:35:44,760
they've been over in Clintwood have
installed cabinets and stuff

1853
02:35:41,660 --> 02:35:51,240
which way I'm not done yet but you're
you're sitting there making these

1854
02:35:47,220 --> 02:35:55,979
accusations and he told you that that
last meeting Scotty briefed you 10

1855
02:35:53,100 --> 02:35:59,760
million dollars worth of money came to
this County in the 10 years they've been

1856
02:35:58,319 --> 02:36:05,160
there
so they've been working these things all

1857
02:36:02,580 --> 02:36:09,660
along and you mentioned the sewer pipe
running alongside the road

1858
02:36:07,500 --> 02:36:14,220
did you ever ask yourself if that sewer
pipe was it big enough to carry the

1859
02:36:12,060 --> 02:36:17,880
activities of the fair versus the prison
system

1860
02:36:15,840 --> 02:36:22,080
there's a little more cost involved in
that day and that's why I mentioned that

1861
02:36:19,859 --> 02:36:28,680
they got a hundred thousand dollars to
expand sewer over there so you're trying

1862
02:36:25,319 --> 02:36:32,960
to attack these but water and sewer but
it's mainly sewer look at it

1863
02:36:33,140 --> 02:36:37,640
we gave them a hundred thousand hours

1864
02:36:38,600 --> 02:36:46,859
the thing is
come on plateau

1865
02:36:43,380 --> 02:36:51,540
has been working diligently for all our
four counties for all those years and

1866
02:36:49,380 --> 02:36:57,060
you're wanting to withhold their funding
and cut our hands off from it yes and

1867
02:36:54,720 --> 02:37:02,120
and you're at you're mad because if
you're gonna do this your resolution

1868
02:36:59,460 --> 02:37:06,780
should go to point Broadband because
contractually cover a plateau cannot

1869
02:37:04,680 --> 02:37:11,220
stop it can I ask a question and then
and the other one I would send it to is

1870
02:37:09,000 --> 02:37:16,920
dhcd
because they're the ones managing body

1871
02:37:14,040 --> 02:37:21,840
and I think dxc's you know you mentioned
my conference as I told you this before

1872
02:37:19,800 --> 02:37:26,819
one of the key things I brought up in
those conferences to those funders if

1873
02:37:24,300 --> 02:37:31,500
it's taxpayer money going into this
we should be able to see what's going on

1874
02:37:29,340 --> 02:37:34,859
and you know what they're listening
because that's going into body tubes

1875
02:37:33,479 --> 02:37:40,020
contract
but there's also the other piece that

1876
02:37:37,080 --> 02:37:43,979
point broadband's got millions of
dollars invested in this too so they're

1877
02:37:42,420 --> 02:37:48,720
a private entity
and more power to you if you're going to

1878
02:37:46,380 --> 02:37:52,500
try to force their hand my ask Mr
Peter's a question yes

1879
02:37:50,399 --> 02:37:56,880
true or false Cumberland Plateau
contracts with Point broadband no they

1880
02:37:55,140 --> 02:37:59,160
don't have that track so we're having a
contract

1881
02:37:57,899 --> 02:38:03,300
with
you're going to sit here's a boardwalker

1882
02:38:01,140 --> 02:38:08,160
so you don't have contracts we go back
and forth with them there was a contract

1883
02:38:05,220 --> 02:38:13,020
for the fiber Network and who got to
take that over and that happened last

1884
02:38:10,620 --> 02:38:17,040
time so you're telling me that the 16
million dollars that was just awarded

1885
02:38:14,939 --> 02:38:22,439
the Cumberland Plateau planning district
commission from vadi that you have

1886
02:38:19,920 --> 02:38:29,280
discretion on who to award that to
no we have to award at the point pursue

1887
02:38:25,920 --> 02:38:34,140
it to what a contract agreement that you
voted on the agreement of the network

1888
02:38:31,200 --> 02:38:39,780
it's a joke the people of this County
end up and this is what I'm doing to

1889
02:38:37,080 --> 02:38:44,640
this nonsense you just talked for 30
minutes in a circle you as a Cumberland

1890
02:38:42,899 --> 02:38:49,020
Plateau planning district executive
member voted to go into contract with

1891
02:38:46,680 --> 02:38:53,220
Point Broadband Point Broadband has our
money they're not telling us anything

1892
02:38:50,640 --> 02:38:57,720
our citizens and our children and our
families are suffering and you're the

1893
02:38:55,500 --> 02:39:02,640
root cause of it and I'm putting forth
this resolution to try to do something

1894
02:38:59,220 --> 02:39:07,819
about it okay let me tell you when that
contract was left the Tobacco Commission

1895
02:39:05,760 --> 02:39:14,340
was at every meeting
the legislators were there and VRA was

1896
02:39:11,399 --> 02:39:21,060
there because this whole bvu deal had
people going to jail

1897
02:39:16,319 --> 02:39:26,520
and it when it came down to was a oh
the they had they came down because they

1898
02:39:24,240 --> 02:39:29,340
needed to get this moved out of bvu's
hands

1899
02:39:27,479 --> 02:39:33,600
can you tell me how many connections
have been done this year can you tell me

1900
02:39:31,380 --> 02:39:38,340
that I didn't bring that with me it was
2 000 I think they said 2 000

1901
02:39:35,700 --> 02:39:42,420
connections passing in Dickinson Kansas
because that's different than

1902
02:39:40,080 --> 02:39:48,180
connections what's the difference it
means they they write the infrastructure

1903
02:39:45,600 --> 02:39:53,399
to go into the house you know so how
many residential connections

1904
02:39:50,300 --> 02:39:59,520
residents and they're they're going back
as they can hook and hooking them up now

1905
02:39:56,220 --> 02:40:04,680
you also implied that I had a say on
where they go I have no faith we have

1906
02:40:01,859 --> 02:40:08,220
nothing if you tell me that you have a
question on someone I can reach out and

1907
02:40:06,540 --> 02:40:12,120
see if they can tell me about that a
million times and never gotten any

1908
02:40:09,540 --> 02:40:17,220
information I've seen them answer you
some emails

1909
02:40:14,120 --> 02:40:21,660
Mr Barton can I ask a question to do a
comparison to say if I'm understanding

1910
02:40:19,740 --> 02:40:26,939
this
Cumberland Plateau is awarded the money

1911
02:40:24,780 --> 02:40:31,200
and they get the money on a drawdown
yeah

1912
02:40:27,780 --> 02:40:36,899
went from dhcd or wherever it comes from
when Point Broadband turns them in a

1913
02:40:34,080 --> 02:40:43,380
bill so they're basically the manager of
the the money right just the same way as

1914
02:40:39,720 --> 02:40:49,040
the county is on the tremel project
no not I mean you're lost

1915
02:40:49,399 --> 02:40:56,220
we have to prepay and then we get real
yeah

1916
02:40:53,420 --> 02:41:01,800
I was just doing a comparison to see how
it operated but but no come on Plateau

1917
02:40:59,640 --> 02:41:06,300
is not sitting there with 16 million
dollars in their checking account to pay

1918
02:41:03,899 --> 02:41:10,560
Point Broadband Excuse me yes they are
no they're not

1919
02:41:08,280 --> 02:41:14,780
or is the 16 million dollar body grant
that they got then they just got the

1920
02:41:12,479 --> 02:41:18,780
grant they have to drop down the money
does the work no that is percent but

1921
02:41:17,340 --> 02:41:23,340
that's my understanding
and this is what is going on no matter

1922
02:41:21,840 --> 02:41:26,700
if it's a drawdown or not they still got
the money

1923
02:41:25,080 --> 02:41:30,359
what do you mean my bank account's a
drawdown account I don't draw it down

1924
02:41:28,080 --> 02:41:35,220
until I spend it but they can't drop
down to a point Broadband or whoever the

1925
02:41:32,640 --> 02:41:39,660
contractor is gives them a bill and says
we have done this work and who enters

1926
02:41:37,020 --> 02:41:44,580
into the contract with Point broadband
do you think that just magically happens

1927
02:41:41,460 --> 02:41:49,080
that's fine I think it's not I think
it's going to dhtv camera plateau and

1928
02:41:46,680 --> 02:41:53,760
point Broadband Cumberland Plateau was
the applicant on the body they are and

1929
02:41:51,840 --> 02:41:57,720
they are they listed on their
application and I'll be happy to find it

1930
02:41:55,620 --> 02:42:02,460
right now because it's real Handy they
listed Point Broadband as their provider

1931
02:41:59,880 --> 02:42:06,899
on the application it is because they're
showing the network so they're in

1932
02:42:04,200 --> 02:42:11,100
control they have half ownership into
all that fiber it's called This is

1933
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:15,420
called Buck passing it's what you're
doing passing the buck and not having a

1934
02:42:13,620 --> 02:42:23,160
backbone to do something to help your
family I brought it up numerous meetings

1935
02:42:19,640 --> 02:42:28,020
and we'll listen to me hard by now we we
harp on it every month and well so why

1936
02:42:26,280 --> 02:42:31,979
don't we do something about it this is
doing something about it you can't force

1937
02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:37,140
what you're trying to do is attack the
organization it is trying to help us and

1938
02:42:35,460 --> 02:42:42,000
you need to go after Point Broadband
maybe dhcd and ask them

1939
02:42:39,600 --> 02:42:46,200
okay what if I rephrase the resolution
to ask them to contract with somebody

1940
02:42:43,800 --> 02:42:51,300
besides Point Broadband will that please
you that's already been signed then it's

1941
02:42:49,500 --> 02:42:57,120
it's not going to help because right now
the fiber infrastructure that goes

1942
02:42:53,819 --> 02:42:59,960
through our counties is 50 well I have a
motion Madam chair

1943
02:43:01,020 --> 02:43:09,960
then this like they say not to come to
Plateau but to point broadband

1944
02:43:06,960 --> 02:43:09,960
solution

1945
02:43:14,399 --> 02:43:20,340
oh
I know we can't say that I wouldn't want

1946
02:43:18,240 --> 02:43:25,319
to see him made for a Broadband I guess
I'm just I'm obviously utterly

1947
02:43:22,740 --> 02:43:29,520
embarrassed to have sat here for three
years and not be able and I'm I'm really

1948
02:43:27,899 --> 02:43:33,720
frankly shocked that none of the rest of
y'all are

1949
02:43:30,420 --> 02:43:38,520
uh that I can give constituents who pay
taxes in this County that supported me

1950
02:43:36,180 --> 02:43:42,420
in this office information on whether
their children can do their homework

1951
02:43:40,080 --> 02:43:46,020
online and what am I doing about it now
I'm going to show this is what I'm doing

1952
02:43:44,399 --> 02:43:50,220
about it and I'm getting totally
rejected for about the millionth time

1953
02:43:48,120 --> 02:43:52,920
since I've sat on here but I'm not going
to stop I'm going to show them I'm

1954
02:43:51,600 --> 02:43:57,240
trying to do something about it the only
thing I know to do about it

1955
02:43:54,620 --> 02:44:00,359
well there was one other thing you could
have done about it you could have been

1956
02:43:58,680 --> 02:44:05,700
there hollering with us at the meeting
wasting my time today my family you were

1957
02:44:03,899 --> 02:44:08,880
chairman and we didn't do get nothing
done

1958
02:44:06,600 --> 02:44:13,220
you were there and you didn't you didn't
speak up and you were rarely there and

1959
02:44:11,100 --> 02:44:19,260
here and that was your Avenue to really
pursue this but the bottom line is

1960
02:44:16,439 --> 02:44:24,479
they're a private company you can't tell
them written down you contract if I've

1961
02:44:22,680 --> 02:44:29,300
got a private person working on my house
and they're not doing it the way I want

1962
02:44:26,280 --> 02:44:29,300
it done I fire them

1963
02:44:31,040 --> 02:44:37,680
you know and here's the other thing I
was going to mention you're real good at

1964
02:44:35,280 --> 02:44:42,359
Howard in front of the audience here
but you're never saying anything

1965
02:44:39,540 --> 02:44:46,260
somebody is coming on Plateau somebody
needs to holler for the people of this

1966
02:44:44,040 --> 02:44:52,280
candy because you're not oh
I don't waste my time on getting stuff

1967
02:44:50,100 --> 02:44:56,939
done wasted on an airplane to Portland
yeah that's

1968
02:44:54,720 --> 02:45:01,500
so we sat through well I ain't gonna go
there because it's a whole different

1969
02:44:57,960 --> 02:45:06,060
topic but I work diligently on these and
I was involved in those contract

1970
02:45:03,120 --> 02:45:12,720
negotiations and we had our Southwest
delegation driving where that discussion

1971
02:45:09,240 --> 02:45:18,840
was going to go because they needed if
you none of you knew this we the

1972
02:45:15,420 --> 02:45:23,700
Commonwealth was in danger of losing its
credit rating because they loaned bvu

1973
02:45:20,880 --> 02:45:28,560
too much money that's why VRA was at
every meeting

1974
02:45:24,899 --> 02:45:34,080
so was the Tobacco Commission driven by
our Southwest delegation

1975
02:45:30,840 --> 02:45:37,859
so we we got the provider that we were
going to get and then it wasn't the one

1976
02:45:35,939 --> 02:45:42,420
that we had been negotiating the whole
time lo and behold it ended up being

1977
02:45:40,020 --> 02:45:47,939
Point broadband and again so you were
meeting to negotiating with Point

1978
02:45:43,740 --> 02:45:47,939
Broadband thank you finally

1979
02:45:48,899 --> 02:45:56,939
very good
which and and the poor kids and bear pen

1980
02:45:54,660 --> 02:46:02,880
and Cutter Creek and pound River and 611
and tivus still don't have internet and

1981
02:45:59,580 --> 02:46:08,700
you admit to wanting to take 35 000 a
year from the organization that's done

1982
02:46:06,300 --> 02:46:11,939
nothing produced 202 million dollars
flowed into these four counties in the

1983
02:46:10,740 --> 02:46:15,319
lab
10 20 years yes

1984
02:46:18,720 --> 02:46:26,000
after much much much discussion we have
a motion on the floor is there a second

1985
02:46:29,880 --> 02:46:36,359
one more time a motion on the floor is
there a second can I ask is there

1986
02:46:34,560 --> 02:46:40,020
suggestions from any of the for you on
what to do

1987
02:46:37,979 --> 02:46:43,080
Rhonda you've got families on Camp Creek
I sure do so what is your suggestion

1988
02:46:42,240 --> 02:46:46,880
then
nobody's brought any alternatives other

1989
02:46:45,180 --> 02:46:51,960
than me coming in here
what you're doing I don't I I agree with

1990
02:46:49,920 --> 02:46:56,220
what Ron says because they have spent
the common Plateau has been responsible

1991
02:46:54,240 --> 02:47:01,319
for a lot of sewer and water lines in
this County we now have 99 people on

1992
02:47:00,120 --> 02:47:08,000
public water
but I don't know if this is going to do

1993
02:47:04,140 --> 02:47:08,000
any good really a resolution

1994
02:47:09,979 --> 02:47:16,620
here's the thing I don't think it hurts
anything but I don't think about it I I

1995
02:47:14,640 --> 02:47:22,319
probably would be for the resolution if
you take that money part out of it they

1996
02:47:18,600 --> 02:47:25,500
are withhold our money Pro I probably
they don't then you know what happens

1997
02:47:23,760 --> 02:47:30,439
when there's no money tied to it water
doesn't throw it in the trash just like

1998
02:47:27,120 --> 02:47:30,439
every email I've seen yeah

1999
02:47:32,240 --> 02:47:38,640
and we would get nothing from broad
broadband no I don't

2000
02:47:36,600 --> 02:47:44,300
know here's the thing you guys are in
the same spot

2001
02:47:40,819 --> 02:47:44,300
for the resolution

2002
02:47:46,460 --> 02:47:57,680
2025 they've already told us many times
by the first quarter 2025 90 of this

2003
02:47:53,580 --> 02:48:03,060
county is going to be like 20 24.
they slipped before you guys been told

2004
02:48:00,240 --> 02:48:06,439
that 2020. I thought when Scotty Walker
was here he said 2020.

2005
02:48:08,300 --> 02:48:15,720
most percentage was he said that the
citizens of Dickerson Academy would make

2006
02:48:13,439 --> 02:48:20,460
a naked today they told us 23 at first
yeah

2007
02:48:17,540 --> 02:48:24,920
Mr Barton even confirms it and do you
mean 23 we were told 95 coverage

2008
02:48:25,160 --> 02:48:33,420
of the people oh yeah
they're building out the county they're

2009
02:48:30,899 --> 02:48:37,680
building out here they sure are I I'll
go for the resolution if you'll take out

2010
02:48:35,340 --> 02:48:42,660
the part about withhold of them oh my
motions as it is I don't care well I'm

2011
02:48:40,319 --> 02:48:46,500
doing what I can do I mean I sort of
feel that

2012
02:48:45,060 --> 02:48:51,060
I mean
we can't do anything with VDOT to clean

2013
02:48:49,260 --> 02:48:57,660
our roads up and fix our roads that's
how we're going to make them do this

2014
02:48:53,479 --> 02:49:04,319
state tax dollars this is tax dollars I
mean you can't make you can't make

2015
02:49:01,740 --> 02:49:11,160
people well they that has a business
that is working it the best they can to

2016
02:49:08,160 --> 02:49:14,720
do it your way when you want it how you
want it at that very minute all I want

2017
02:49:13,680 --> 02:49:18,540
some information
I think I think the whole board I think

2018
02:49:17,220 --> 02:49:23,700
you know my assessment the whole board
is very frustrated with the situation

2019
02:49:20,580 --> 02:49:27,000
with the broadband and you know it
appears that we're not going to get a

2020
02:49:25,020 --> 02:49:31,439
second on this resolution so we do you
know if we might some discussion on

2021
02:49:28,800 --> 02:49:35,520
possible other options I don't know uh
if it's the board's pleasure if we could

2022
02:49:32,819 --> 02:49:38,880
try to facilitate a meeting between even
the full board and Cumberland Plateau

2023
02:49:37,500 --> 02:49:43,460
representative and point Broadband
representative or something to try to

2024
02:49:40,920 --> 02:49:43,460
get some information

2025
02:49:45,260 --> 02:49:50,939
if we don't do that let's try to do
something to try to help the citizens I

2026
02:49:49,140 --> 02:49:56,700
mean I understand that and that's fine
and then yes I agree but we've done that

2027
02:49:54,200 --> 02:50:02,399
I've sat down here with with
Joseph

2028
02:49:58,460 --> 02:50:07,620
and God it's muddy rabbits and rainbows
and Scotty I love Scotty I really like

2029
02:50:05,100 --> 02:50:12,660
Scotty law but it's bunny rabbits in
room we don't get any concrete

2030
02:50:09,180 --> 02:50:18,359
information ever from anybody
and so when I again have the parent

2031
02:50:16,200 --> 02:50:23,420
asking me in my district
can you tell me when I might be able to

2032
02:50:20,460 --> 02:50:23,420
have some kind of Internet

2033
02:50:24,180 --> 02:50:29,880
and I'm a three-year member of this
board

2034
02:50:27,180 --> 02:50:34,800
it's embarrassing and it's not right we
should have answers it is embarrassing

2035
02:50:31,740 --> 02:50:39,359
it makes us look stupid and maybe I've
done a good job enough to that now but

2036
02:50:36,359 --> 02:50:44,460
by God I'm trying I'm going to try for
people in my district to get them

2037
02:50:41,340 --> 02:50:47,939
answers I feel as a board y'all worked
very hard on this you put money you've

2038
02:50:46,740 --> 02:50:51,780
done your own body application
originally put a lot of research and

2039
02:50:50,220 --> 02:50:56,640
money and time into that and of course
we lost out to yeah Point Broadband

2040
02:50:54,720 --> 02:51:00,960
you've worked with hillcom on some
projects uh thank you successful with

2041
02:50:59,580 --> 02:51:04,800
some others never came to fruition
because of not getting the additional

2042
02:51:03,180 --> 02:51:07,380
grant money
um

2043
02:51:05,580 --> 02:51:10,560
the starter link you know we tried the
starlink you if you all done that I've

2044
02:51:09,060 --> 02:51:14,100
worked hard for it but I understand the
frustration and we need to do something

2045
02:51:12,479 --> 02:51:18,060
else we need some other steps that we
can try to bridge this Gap to try to get

2046
02:51:15,960 --> 02:51:22,680
more information well you mentioned
something that is good as a reminder we

2047
02:51:20,399 --> 02:51:28,920
did try to do our own body
and we did not have the capacity to do

2048
02:51:25,859 --> 02:51:34,140
what this other company so we lost which
is nothing no wrong well I've not done

2049
02:51:31,080 --> 02:51:38,040
nothing they've done some they've been
up and down the roads in there and it's

2050
02:51:35,819 --> 02:51:42,540
coming out quite a bit of the county
it took you're talking about a contract

2051
02:51:40,200 --> 02:51:48,180
that took the entire four years the last
term to negotiate and get finished

2052
02:51:45,319 --> 02:51:53,220
because of what about a legal letter
from our attorney to Paul broadband

2053
02:51:51,780 --> 02:51:55,380
I think we can do that but I think at
some point we're gonna have to have

2054
02:51:54,120 --> 02:52:00,319
Community have to have communication
with him in order to well I think to

2055
02:51:57,479 --> 02:52:00,319
have them share with us

2056
02:52:01,640 --> 02:52:10,580
this is not a swap okay but we have two
executive board members here shouldn't

2057
02:52:07,859 --> 02:52:10,580
you know this stuff

2058
02:52:19,640 --> 02:52:24,600
was there anything the Border likes in

2059

2061
02:52:30,779 --> 02:52:38,100

2064
02:52:43,819 --> 02:52:52,080
fighting two is required Point Broadband
is the next contract did have something

2065
02:52:49,560 --> 02:52:55,700
in it and they're requiring them to
build a dashboard they'll tell us

2066
02:52:57,740 --> 02:53:05,700

been a problem Statewide with the body

Madam chair I would like to find the one

2095
04:28:14,699 --> 04:28:19,460
issue I'd like to give the treasurer a
chance to speak to that

2096
04:28:20,460 --> 04:28:25,319
um do I need to make that in a form of
emotion

2097
04:28:23,279 --> 04:28:29,340
as far as we're speaking Yeah I don't
think so

2098
04:28:27,080 --> 04:28:33,720
that's really the pleasure of the board
yeah

2099
04:28:30,739 --> 04:28:37,199
yeah okay
well we didn't want to call her in

2100
04:28:35,580 --> 04:28:39,439
because we didn't want to talk to her so
why

2101
04:28:40,640 --> 04:28:44,000
I wanted to

2102
04:28:46,199 --> 04:28:54,239
go ahead yes
um

2103
04:28:50,960 --> 04:28:58,439
Andy what's been brought up is were they
on their regular duty hours during the

2104
04:28:56,760 --> 04:29:03,060
time that they are doing this and and
stuff like that so

2105
04:29:00,300 --> 04:29:11,279
anything you could shed some light on
yes they are on the regular Navy hours

2106
04:29:05,819 --> 04:29:19,020
but it is extra work it's not stuff that
past Treasures have done and defeats

2107
04:29:14,520 --> 04:29:23,220
have done and this is excess funds that
was brought in and would not have been

2108
04:29:21,359 --> 04:29:27,359
brought in had we not done all this
extra work

2109
04:29:25,199 --> 04:29:32,040
um there's other offices that bring in
excess money and they're allowed to use

2110
04:29:30,000 --> 04:29:37,819
their money and I don't see why my
office should be treated any different

2111
04:29:34,020 --> 04:29:37,819
than any other office

2112
04:29:41,060 --> 04:29:49,979
money that gets their people a bonus uh
Richard hazley

2113
04:29:47,100 --> 04:29:56,220
really how does he get uh extra money
they I think they do work like for maybe

2114
04:29:54,300 --> 04:30:00,659
attorneys
um citizens and stuff and that you have

2115
04:29:58,680 --> 04:30:06,140
to pay for it and that goes into an
extra fund

2116
04:30:02,040 --> 04:30:06,140
and they're allowed to use it

2117
04:30:06,260 --> 04:30:12,319
I'm not arguing with you about it you're
educating me here yeah

2118
04:30:16,640 --> 04:30:23,040
it would be a funnel through a check
like through your office it would be

2119
04:30:20,760 --> 04:30:27,779
it's a separate change you know what I'm
saying I mean no this this money does

2120
04:30:26,040 --> 04:30:32,520
not come into our office this is a
separate account and so like a citizen

2121
04:30:30,300 --> 04:30:35,060
like if I needed help with a deed I'm
assuming that's what

2122
04:30:36,439 --> 04:30:44,279
again I'm not right right arguing with
you about that I'm just curious about it

2123
04:30:40,859 --> 04:30:47,939
I just know it's an extra account
and they're allowed to do that I don't

2124
04:30:46,680 --> 04:30:51,359
know where he gets that money from I
would too that's I didn't honestly

2125
04:30:49,739 --> 04:30:56,939
didn't know that you know they charge
you to record a d so they'll do like if

2126
04:30:54,659 --> 04:31:01,920
I'm understanding if I'm understanding
your understanding is that

2127
04:30:59,340 --> 04:31:08,120
a private person will pay them to do
something for them while on County time

2128
04:31:04,260 --> 04:31:08,120
and they get extra money I'm assuming

2129
04:31:11,720 --> 04:31:18,359
I'm sorry I mean I'm just I don't I
don't remember enough of this to know

2130
04:31:15,899 --> 04:31:22,020
what it was but I I kind of thought
maybe the concealed weapon from it or

2131
04:31:20,159 --> 04:31:28,220
something to do with fines you guys get
a piece of that Richard and I thought

2132
04:31:24,779 --> 04:31:28,220
maybe Richard's office guys

2133
04:31:31,580 --> 04:31:39,779
but in that scenario like what you're
saying it would pass through our

2134
04:31:37,640 --> 04:31:45,239
Coffer she's saying whatever that is
doesn't pass through our no I think it

2135
04:31:42,300 --> 04:31:47,960
comes from us thank you so much
and I just want to

2136
04:31:49,020 --> 04:31:56,460
wanna well wouldn't they have to would
they have to be on their paycheck or

2137
04:31:53,699 --> 04:31:59,939
would it have to would if a bonus it'd
have to come through our office on a

2138
04:31:57,899 --> 04:32:04,140
paycheck
correct yes

2139
04:32:02,460 --> 04:32:08,880
that he reimbursed the county for the
cost of it yeah yeah how does that work

2140
04:32:07,020 --> 04:32:14,159
how much is it about probably brought a
chicken you know and and to your

2141
04:32:10,560 --> 04:32:20,279
question Shelby another example but it
comes out of other funds from the state

2142
04:32:16,080 --> 04:32:22,760
we approved uh some raises for the
rental office

2143
04:32:23,159 --> 04:32:28,100
so that was where we took some money and
it went back

2144
04:32:31,460 --> 04:32:39,060
this is County taxes that should have
been collected they worked on the

2145
04:32:36,239 --> 04:32:43,500
regular working hours to do it
extra work besides all the other stuff

2146
04:32:41,760 --> 04:32:50,159
that we do Shelby but you had eight
hours to work no matter what you did

2147
04:32:46,620 --> 04:32:55,199
that that you are a Corinthian but my
girls pushed themselves every day to do

2148
04:32:52,800 --> 04:32:59,159
all this extra stuff that we really I
mean you know back in the day the

2149
04:32:57,120 --> 04:33:05,939
treasurer's office hired a delinquent
collections person in the office and an

2150
04:33:02,340 --> 04:33:10,320
extra employee that collected taxes just
delinquent taxes

2151
04:33:07,500 --> 04:33:16,980
I mean it's a lot of hard work to
collect the current taxes and do all the

2152
04:33:13,561 --> 04:33:22,500
reconciliation for not only the general
County the school the social service

2153
04:33:19,859 --> 04:33:27,480
community service I mean all the money
comes through our office all of it I

2154
04:33:25,439 --> 04:33:31,020
know I work there I know what I work for
the county I know what the treasurer's

2155
04:33:29,459 --> 04:33:37,500
office did I don't think you know
everything the treasurer's office says

2156
04:33:33,799 --> 04:33:42,480
it just you know observe all the extra
stuff my girls do I mean there's no

2157
04:33:39,719 --> 04:33:47,760
downtime whatsoever so that's one thing
I learned is um I mean a couple things

2158
04:33:45,299 --> 04:33:51,779
but that one you it used to be done with
an extra person great I didn't know that

2159
04:33:51,119 --> 04:33:57,359
um
and we do know that for many many years

2160
04:33:54,299 --> 04:34:01,141
people were not really diligently going
after these back then because a lot of

2161
04:33:59,160 --> 04:34:05,939
them were falling off the books
so that was a big plus and we're talking

2162
04:34:03,779 --> 04:34:09,660
about taking a fraction of it to give a
one-time bonus

2163
04:34:07,920 --> 04:34:13,561
because we really don't get all that
money back anyways by the time the

2164
04:34:11,760 --> 04:34:17,279
properties don't sell for what the back
taxes are because they are allowed to

2165
04:34:15,359 --> 04:34:20,420
improve I guess my concern is I'm sorry
I didn't interrupt you yeah well you did

2166
04:34:18,840 --> 04:34:25,080
yeah
okay so the commissioner revenues I'm

2167
04:34:23,039 --> 04:34:31,820
just using that as an example and I'm
not again trying to argue or be ugly but

2168
04:34:27,660 --> 04:34:31,820
when they do income taxes from

2169
04:34:34,820 --> 04:34:42,420
seized up and they're doing in person
and then they want a 1500 bonus or is

2170
04:34:40,020 --> 04:34:46,740
that the president we're sitting
and I'm just saying and I I'm not saying

2171
04:34:44,760 --> 04:34:50,641
I'm before I she's a constitutional
officer she's advocating for employees

2172
04:34:48,420 --> 04:34:54,779
she's doing what she should do I'm not
blaming her bit fresh and I'm not and

2173
04:34:52,619 --> 04:34:59,340
that may be something we have to look at
because

2174
04:34:56,000 --> 04:35:04,379
we already have it I'm just that's my
thing we have I'm not faulting her for

2175
04:35:01,799 --> 04:35:07,439
asking I mean yeah as much as we may not
kids these are her people and she's

2176
04:35:06,061 --> 04:35:11,039
trying to get them money and that's what
I mean that's what you do

2177
04:35:09,279 --> 04:35:16,080
[Music]
for two years and if nobody from that

2178
04:35:13,740 --> 04:35:21,900
family comes in and claims those funds
it comes their office

2179
04:35:19,100 --> 04:35:27,359
there's the treasurer's office that's
all masses these excess funds that we

2180
04:35:24,600 --> 04:35:32,000
brought in that nobody's claimed that
I'm asking a one-time

2181
04:35:29,219 --> 04:35:37,619
is that about six thousand dollars yes
is this which is nothing to what another

2182
04:35:34,980 --> 04:35:41,840
office like and how much is in there
right now

2183
04:35:39,359 --> 04:35:47,400
um right now we have
22

2184
04:35:44,359 --> 04:35:50,699
398.33 did you can I ask you on the
other offices at the same office you

2185
04:35:49,260 --> 04:35:54,180
were talking about yeah
yeah it was on the check like that was

2186
04:35:52,740 --> 04:35:58,379
deposited
you know what I'm saying did he bring

2187
04:35:55,859 --> 04:36:01,400
you a deposit this which like I said
I'll let him consider office

2188
04:36:05,480 --> 04:36:15,000
who's on the check like who's the who's
saying a personal check well I mean it

2189
04:36:11,939 --> 04:36:20,820
was a Richard Edwards Clark I mean not
him personally but yeah I got you

2190
04:36:17,100 --> 04:36:24,119
officially yeah so his office has a
separate checking account besides what

2191
04:36:22,500 --> 04:36:28,379
comes through the county and you would
have access to that account well you

2192
04:36:26,400 --> 04:36:32,000
need to see where that much
because it doesn't come through her

2193
04:36:29,820 --> 04:36:32,000
office

2194
04:36:32,641 --> 04:36:37,740
that much
thank you

2195
04:36:36,359 --> 04:36:42,539
this shouldn't close session if you're
going to mention other offices names and

2196
04:36:40,379 --> 04:36:47,520
how much they paid their employees well
I guess In fairness well I don't think

2197
04:36:44,699 --> 04:36:52,760
he's specifically I mean whatever I
don't know we didn't say did we say

2198
04:36:49,561 --> 04:36:52,760
something a little vote on it

2199
04:36:54,619 --> 04:37:05,100
with another constitutional law he said
well how many thousand did he pay it was

2200
04:37:00,240 --> 04:37:11,219
uh almost 13 000 13 000. 12 500 and that
was distributed in who so who determined

2201
04:37:08,100 --> 04:37:15,719
who had got how much of that being
what do you I mean I guess your office

2202
04:37:13,141 --> 04:37:20,580
issued the checks though then right
Karen did okay all right so you wouldn't

2203
04:37:19,320 --> 04:37:24,180
know all right
if I said it'd have to go through the

2204
04:37:22,141 --> 04:37:28,619
favor with it
because taxes have to be taken out of it

2205
04:37:26,279 --> 04:37:32,939
yeah have you ever got this before Angie
have you ever got this before have we

2206
04:37:30,900 --> 04:37:36,199
ever got this before bonus before have
you ever paid your employees about this

2207
04:37:34,379 --> 04:37:39,799
before no never this is the first time
first time it's happened

2208
04:37:40,699 --> 04:37:48,260
I know that because I started the same
time so I know we've never dressed why'd

2209
04:37:45,660 --> 04:37:48,260
you think of these

2210
04:37:48,420 --> 04:37:54,500
I knew we had these
had these that we brought in and I know

2211
04:37:52,379 --> 04:38:00,020
how hard my girls were
and that's something I wanted to do

2212
04:37:57,299 --> 04:38:04,500
still especially after you know
sorry go ahead I'm sorry can you find

2213
04:38:02,699 --> 04:38:11,160
out somebody else being sick you know
and My Girls work hard so how so the 26

2214
04:38:08,279 --> 04:38:15,600
000 is not just delinquent taxes it's
what do you keep saying it's excess okay

2215
04:38:13,379 --> 04:38:22,080
let's say for instance
um we have a land sale and

2216
04:38:18,600 --> 04:38:28,920
the delinquent taxes are paid the
attorney fees the auctioneer fees any

2217
04:38:25,619 --> 04:38:32,760
fees that's out there let's say there's
a

2218
04:38:29,939 --> 04:38:37,619
all that comes up to be twenty thousand
let's say the land gets sold for twenty

2219
04:38:35,279 --> 04:38:42,561
six thousand that six thousand dollars
is excess funds so the delinquency so it

2220
04:38:40,260 --> 04:38:47,641
is extra money the attorney's paid
everybody's paid I understand that's

2221
04:38:44,699 --> 04:38:51,779
another good clarification point the six
thousand dollars well I'm more

2222
04:38:48,959 --> 04:38:57,199
interested now I'm about ten times more
clarity on what you're saying but I'm

2223
04:38:53,699 --> 04:38:57,199
more that's kind of why the other thing

2224
04:38:59,779 --> 04:39:08,340
I just want my office treated
equally and if you don't advocate for

2225
04:39:06,119 --> 04:39:12,359
them exactly because you are their boss
so to speak and I'm not asking for

2226
04:39:10,260 --> 04:39:17,600
myself and we were told it was excess
but I didn't it didn't click until you

2227
04:39:14,760 --> 04:39:23,400
just explained that there you know
this is money that

2228
04:39:21,180 --> 04:39:27,240
what after everybody's paid this is
excess money and it's held in account

2229
04:39:25,561 --> 04:39:34,260
for two years
and so if somebody in the family doesn't

2230
04:39:30,799 --> 04:39:40,680
go in and claim that money then that
money comes back to us and under her

2231
04:39:36,359 --> 04:39:46,200
leadership and this um this office has
done something historically we've never

2232
04:39:42,420 --> 04:39:51,958
done Madam chairman remember yes
you know the commissioner brought in

2233
04:39:48,420 --> 04:39:58,080
about 400 and some thousand dollars
extra

2234
04:39:54,120 --> 04:40:03,780
back a few years ago it was Mike Yates
and I don't care to mention his name he

2235
04:40:00,298 --> 04:40:09,480
brought in some excess funds that he
audited the severance

2236
04:40:06,420 --> 04:40:14,580
you know he didn't ask that his
employees get a big bonus

2237
04:40:12,298 --> 04:40:19,740
we divided the bonds between every
employee in the county

2238
04:40:17,160 --> 04:40:24,180
we didn't ask for an individual in the
commission I didn't work there but

2239
04:40:21,780 --> 04:40:28,500
anyway he did not ask
that his employee get a special bonus

2240
04:40:26,878 --> 04:40:34,020
just because he brought in all this
extra money he brought it to the county

2241
04:40:30,958 --> 04:40:39,060
and the county willingly gave every
employee in the county a 500 bonus from

2242
04:40:37,440 --> 04:40:43,520
that
that was a lot of money well I guess you

2243
04:40:41,100 --> 04:40:50,760
don't care as long as you get your six
here well that's why I'm saying that so

2244
04:40:48,540 --> 04:40:55,280
that's another example where we've done
something similar but you know six

2245
04:40:53,340 --> 04:40:59,180
thousand dollars
well what I say is yeah

2246
04:41:00,958 --> 04:41:11,000
if we Grant Miss Rex's request then I
would say but then we divvy the rest of

2247
04:41:06,240 --> 04:41:11,000
the 20 amongst our sanitation workers

2248
04:41:12,000 --> 04:41:18,240
I would say we should look at I didn't
think we need to give that you ain't got

2249
04:41:16,680 --> 04:41:21,840
it I'm saying you're just you're not
asking for the whole amount right

2250
04:41:20,520 --> 04:41:26,760
I mean you're just asking for the 15
each just for the bonus yeah the money

2251
04:41:24,360 --> 04:41:31,940
the rest of it would go to the general
fund it's in the general or we'll we'll

2252
04:41:28,920 --> 04:41:36,360
watch it right the time
basically I don't have my own

2253
04:41:34,680 --> 04:41:40,920
personality no no that's not what I'm
saying yeah but it's it's but other

2254
04:41:39,120 --> 04:41:46,860
things that our office needs because our
computers are good you know there's not

2255
04:41:43,680 --> 04:41:51,958
a lot of money for office supplies I
know that so the rest of that money I

2256
04:41:50,400 --> 04:41:57,958
think you know we should be able to use
when we need new computers our printers

2257
04:41:54,298 --> 04:42:02,280
are going out on us you know
that makes it a lot clearer we weren't

2258
04:41:59,760 --> 04:42:07,400
really clear yeah because the Delinquent
Tax so the County's owed or paid what

2259
04:42:05,040 --> 04:42:10,878
it's owed the property
in most cases

2260
04:42:11,840 --> 04:42:20,458
delinquent taxes Tacs all the legal fees
that was paid out the auctioneer any

2261
04:42:18,540 --> 04:42:26,520
monies that was paid out
this is excess over that In fairness to

2262
04:42:23,638 --> 04:42:32,878
us I mean that's your off job like what
was Ben said I agree but like I said we

2263
04:42:29,580 --> 04:42:39,298
take on a lot of extra stuff that the
other Treasures did not

2264
04:42:35,940 --> 04:42:44,520
how many years has that been accumulated
um I think the first first one we got of

2265
04:42:42,000 --> 04:42:51,780
course I had land sale in 16 and it's
held for 18 years so after that then

2266
04:42:48,600 --> 04:42:58,340
with the sheets yeah so 18 then when you
had a landsat if you had one in 17 then

2267
04:42:54,060 --> 04:42:58,340
you got that in 19 which got added to it

2268
04:43:00,860 --> 04:43:05,780
November if nobody in the family claims
it

2269
04:43:11,958 --> 04:43:19,798
does the families know they can claim
this money I'm sure they I mean I'm

2270
04:43:16,620 --> 04:43:25,260
guessing do you uh let people know that
do you send them a letter that

2271
04:43:22,138 --> 04:43:29,520
this money is standing here you haven't
existed to do the sale though they would

2272
04:43:28,138 --> 04:43:33,540
have had to have been given some sort of
notice notice yeah and then and it's

2273
04:43:31,378 --> 04:43:37,920
like but I'm sure they don't know
they've done it for excess well you're

2274
04:43:36,360 --> 04:43:41,360
right but I guess they had they were
notified as being sold though

2275
04:43:44,000 --> 04:43:53,218
true do you ever have a family from a
sale to ever come contact you back to

2276
04:43:50,160 --> 04:43:58,138
say did that property sale we actually
the land that Josh bought

2277
04:43:55,440 --> 04:44:02,060
uh that family came forth yeah oh really
okay well I know Jay don't they get a

2278
04:44:00,360 --> 04:44:08,340
letter because I know my mother-in-law
the Flemings we got a letter on my

2279
04:44:05,280 --> 04:44:13,320
mother-in-law's place later that maybe
they sold it for excess

2280
04:44:10,440 --> 04:44:17,940
that you were in town what what's that
did you get a letter saying that it is I

2281
04:44:16,440 --> 04:44:21,298
don't you know and I don't
these are you're talking about families

2282
04:44:20,400 --> 04:44:25,860
that
a lot of times didn't pay their taxes

2283
04:44:23,340 --> 04:44:30,360
for 20 years that you're you what she's
saying is so for excess the family can

2284
04:44:28,378 --> 04:44:35,280
come back in and reclaim some of that
did you come back see if it's so

2285
04:44:32,340 --> 04:44:40,378
francaise no we didn't bother with them
that's a good I mean that's a good point

2286
04:44:38,520 --> 04:44:44,580
but you're not legally required to do
that yeah no

2287
04:44:42,180 --> 04:44:47,878
and after a certain time it's released
right you

2288
04:44:45,958 --> 04:44:51,200
know you're coming to us now because
this Money's been released

2289
04:44:52,700 --> 04:45:01,378
I mean you got to look at everyone gets
mailed a tax statement every year but we

2290
04:44:58,320 --> 04:45:07,280
somehow we have to orchestrate these
sales and all this legal work to go get

2291
04:45:04,260 --> 04:45:07,280
taxes that people

2292
04:45:07,760 --> 04:45:17,000
every year
it's only for excess

2293
04:45:12,900 --> 04:45:23,458
well they opted to check into this
right if so this 26 000

2294
04:45:21,718 --> 04:45:27,900
it's not like we've got this in a
special account this is what's the extra

2295
04:45:25,260 --> 04:45:33,440
over this period of time yeah so this
has already come into the general fund

2296
04:45:29,638 --> 04:45:33,440
and been spent or been whatever

2297
04:45:33,660 --> 04:45:41,940
so this so this extra money so it's
already in the general account

2298
04:45:39,420 --> 04:45:47,820
yes yeah you follow what I'm saying so
if like you sold a piece in 16 and it

2299
04:45:45,360 --> 04:45:51,360
garnered a thousand extra dollars then
that money would have done as she did Us

2300
04:45:49,620 --> 04:45:56,520
in 18 right
yes Chris so did we not spend that

2301
04:45:54,600 --> 04:46:00,780
hypothetical thousand dollars already is
what I guess I'm saying

2302
04:45:59,340 --> 04:46:06,000
do you follow what I'm saying have we
budgeted

2303
04:46:03,060 --> 04:46:10,680
side separate you know
correct is that what it's designated I

2304
04:46:09,060 --> 04:46:15,840
think you know kind of like his own line
item it's a line item this shows the

2305
04:46:12,718 --> 04:46:19,200
balance in it designated as excess funds
but it's in the general fund part of the

2306
04:46:17,700 --> 04:46:24,180
journal fund
well I don't have any other questions Mr

2307
04:46:21,000 --> 04:46:28,560
chair as far as um
you guys better get the word out but

2308
04:46:26,280 --> 04:46:32,400

yeah it must be 13.

2325
04:47:56,218 --> 04:48:06,000
okay before I ask
um for supervisor's comment to close out

2326
04:48:02,940 --> 04:48:10,260
or to start getting down to the end the
thing that I had said a while ago Mr

2327
04:48:08,160 --> 04:48:14,718
Sturgill that I would wait and ask later
when you was here whether it was tonight

2328
04:48:12,600 --> 04:48:19,138
or next month
last month there was a request for

2329
04:48:17,160 --> 04:48:24,660
information about a conflict of interest
for April Collins to serve on the DSs

2330
04:48:21,900 --> 04:48:29,160
board and I was wondering do you have an
update on that because that was they

2331
04:48:26,580 --> 04:48:34,500
wanted attorney general's opinion yeah
you have an update for that yeah

2332
04:48:32,040 --> 04:48:40,560
um if you all want an attorney's
General's opinion I would ask for

2333
04:48:37,280 --> 04:48:46,500
emotion and approval from the board to
get that but I've reviewed the code

2334
04:48:43,638 --> 04:48:52,680
extensively on this I I think it's
pretty clear that there's not a conflict

2335
04:48:50,040 --> 04:48:58,980
of interest hope for the overall border
Point appointment for DSS

2336
04:48:55,020 --> 04:49:05,160
however I can't state that
that she would have a conflict would not

2337
04:49:02,638 --> 04:49:10,320
have a conflict of interest depending on
the case or the situation and I can't

2338
04:49:07,680 --> 04:49:14,820
really specify or go into it without
knowing the specific case or situation

2339
04:49:12,840 --> 04:49:19,620
and I think that would be up to in that
case required to abstain Korean like

2340
04:49:17,760 --> 04:49:26,280
what Josh has to do on Social Services
exactly yes and so

2341
04:49:23,840 --> 04:49:32,280
based on my review I think it's pretty
clear that again she can serve however

2342
04:49:29,340 --> 04:49:37,740
that there may be a conflict depending
on certain circumstances that would have

2343
04:49:35,100 --> 04:49:43,440
to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis
okay did she submit her letter did she

2344
04:49:41,458 --> 04:49:48,900
submit a letter from her boss saying
that it was not a conflict

2345
04:49:45,120 --> 04:49:53,280
that that is true that that her employer
which which of course is the state of

2346
04:49:51,000 --> 04:49:59,700
Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice
declared that it's not a conflict

2347
04:49:56,400 --> 04:50:05,160
um did receive that reviewed it and what
I would say to that is

2348
04:50:01,820 --> 04:50:10,798
again I've already given my opinion on
it but at the end of the day it's

2349
04:50:08,100 --> 04:50:17,040
whether there's any conflicts that occur
within her role with Department of

2350
04:50:14,638 --> 04:50:22,138
Social Services on the board of whether
there's a conflict of interest or an

2351
04:50:19,500 --> 04:50:28,320
appearance of impropriety for for
whatever reason for dealing with her

2352
04:50:25,440 --> 04:50:33,180
role if it comes in and again to me that
would be on a case-by-case basis okay

2353
04:50:31,020 --> 04:50:37,320
all right thank you
okay

2354
04:50:35,218 --> 04:50:43,820
supervisors comments
starting with Mrs Willis which I usually

2355
04:50:40,440 --> 04:50:43,820
start on that end all the time

2356
04:50:45,360 --> 04:50:55,798
you have comment Miss Lewis
I have a comment about give it to myself

2357
04:50:51,600 --> 04:50:59,638
okay well I got a couple of comments uh
Shelby brought it to my attention the

2358
04:50:57,958 --> 04:51:05,218
last meeting I said I wouldn't not take
my grandchildren down to the uh fair if

2359
04:51:02,400 --> 04:51:12,540
beer was served and I did take them to
the fair so I I want to accomplish that

2360
04:51:09,718 --> 04:51:18,240
I did go around and look for the beer
garden was and I saw nothing out of

2361
04:51:15,480 --> 04:51:23,458
uh I did not see anybody drinking any
beer and when I went around to the booth

2362
04:51:20,520 --> 04:51:27,840
it there was very few people there so I
had to go back and replenish so they

2363
04:51:25,200 --> 04:51:32,878
sold a lot well they might have I don't
know about what they saw but I don't

2364
04:51:29,580 --> 04:51:37,980
want people to think that I told a plea
and lies lies the lies board many many

2365
04:51:35,700 --> 04:51:42,180
because I did take my grandchildren down
there one night

2366
04:51:39,840 --> 04:51:48,660
Friday night so uh
I want to make that clear I also want to

2367
04:51:46,080 --> 04:51:53,218
say that the Clintwood Hooten in the
holler I did attend that and that was

2368
04:51:50,940 --> 04:52:00,718
very I think for the first time they did
a good job and I I think it was uh

2369
04:51:57,020 --> 04:52:05,040
the band was really good and uh I
enjoyed it and I think that that will be

2370
04:52:02,820 --> 04:52:08,580
successful in the years to come and I
appreciate the Town Council and the

2371
04:52:07,020 --> 04:52:13,740
mayor of what they did
I also would like to I did come at that

04:52:23,580 --> 04:52:30,360

very proud of the band the cheerleaders

2377

the team is and I I hope for a wonderful

Mr God bless you
yes Madam chair lot it's been a very

2380
04:52:52,560 --> 04:53:00,260
long meeting don't want to make it any
longer we had a very

2381
04:52:56,638 --> 04:53:07,500
good day today and I know
that the decision we made to

2382
04:53:04,378 --> 04:53:13,378
develop the high school property was not
missed on any of the five of us and what

2383
04:53:10,378 --> 04:53:18,718
I said at our uh groundbreaking I meant
that it's kind of a rare thing that we

2384
04:53:16,260 --> 04:53:23,580
were together on that and I'm proud of
what we've gotten accomplished in

2385
04:53:20,340 --> 04:53:28,740
bringing the largest non-energy non-coal
private investment to Dickinson County

2386
04:53:25,320 --> 04:53:33,780
in the history of our County so uh I
meant what I said and I congratulate

2387
04:53:30,420 --> 04:53:38,700
that you and and us and our staff and
getting that done that to me as much

2388
04:53:36,780 --> 04:53:44,700
maybe
I don't know uh sarcasm and poking that

2389
04:53:42,298 --> 04:53:49,080
the public may give us on that no other
board no other Ida no other

2390
04:53:46,740 --> 04:53:55,080
Administration has ever brought
12 to 15 million private dollars

2391
04:53:52,680 --> 04:54:01,920
to be invested into this County so I'm
very proud of it and I will defend it to

2392
04:53:59,218 --> 04:54:07,320
anybody so I'm very happy we got that
done Larry I know and I maybe failed to

2393
04:54:05,298 --> 04:54:11,218
articulate it as good as I should have
today that could tie this ain't up and

2394
04:54:09,660 --> 04:54:16,500
finish that you've done a lot of work
and I appreciate it

2395
04:54:13,680 --> 04:54:22,260
um apologize publicly to Miss Willis and
Mr Peters for losing my temper earlier

2396
04:54:18,660 --> 04:54:27,120
however frustration is not
that's the easy word on my feelings on

2397
04:54:24,780 --> 04:54:31,860
this internet I mean I'm inundated and
have been inundated

2398
04:54:28,798 --> 04:54:38,100
daily with people asking in my district
when is the internet coming

2399
04:54:34,200 --> 04:54:43,138
and I don't know and I sincerely mean it
what to tell them and it doesn't feel

2400
04:54:41,458 --> 04:54:45,660
like I don't feel that you all can tell
me what to tell them and it's very

2401
04:54:44,580 --> 04:54:50,340
frustrating
should I yell and scream no but that's

2402
04:54:48,900 --> 04:54:54,958
what I feel like doing
and I don't know what else to do so you

2403
04:54:53,218 --> 04:55:01,680
should have got several people hooked up
or signed up last week well where where

2404
04:54:58,920 --> 04:55:07,440
I don't know where tell me where
I agree but anyway I hope you'll accept

2405
04:55:04,980 --> 04:55:11,458
that it is what it is or not necessarily
sorry for bringing it to you I'm being

2406
04:55:09,958 --> 04:55:16,500
booked
um I don't know what else to do so but

2407
04:55:13,500 --> 04:55:20,340
anyway I used to be big
my job it's very good to hear your

2408
04:55:18,540 --> 04:55:25,500
report I appreciate it very much the
fire we've done said was an amazing

2409
04:55:22,798 --> 04:55:29,700
success Beer Garden or not I'm very
proud that we funded that and I'm going

2410
04:55:27,718 --> 04:55:35,820
to hope that we will continue to fund
that and so I hope we can take this

2411
04:55:33,000 --> 04:55:40,020
positive energy like Rhonda said Hooten
in the hauler wildly successful in my

2412
04:55:37,740 --> 04:55:43,240
opinion uh we've got a lot of positive
energy and I'm very proud of what we got

2413
04:55:42,000 --> 04:55:46,620
done today
[Music]

2414
04:55:44,298 --> 04:55:49,798

don't Mr Peters might mentioned but we

2416
04:55:51,660 --> 04:55:59,160
little shaky but
um okay um

2417
04:55:55,940 --> 04:56:04,138
I'll peggyback guys what Josh talked
about the food city project

2418
04:56:01,740 --> 04:56:09,360
is really
a tremendous opportunity for this County

2419
04:56:06,600 --> 04:56:15,420
and it's coming together
we finally got movement on Earth as Josh

2420
04:56:12,060 --> 04:56:19,620
said earlier today that what you folks
don't understand is that's the

2421
04:56:16,980 --> 04:56:25,500
culmination of work that started all
during last term by both boards

2422
04:56:23,100 --> 04:56:30,480
and then started to take hold and we got
it moving in our term

2423
04:56:27,240 --> 04:56:35,760
so it you know we and you know yes
there's other ideas

2424
04:56:32,458 --> 04:56:39,840
but we tried to advertise out there for
other things this was our best option

2425
04:56:37,798 --> 04:56:43,440
and it goes
um for those that are wondering about

2426
04:56:41,760 --> 04:56:50,100
internet
it all I can tell you is we cannot force

2427
04:56:47,340 --> 04:56:55,260
the Private Industry to tell us
or their schedule

2428
04:56:51,780 --> 04:57:00,780
we've asked I've hollered about this
don't test the only information I got

2429
04:56:58,080 --> 04:57:05,580
that I can tell you is right now
they're saying it's first quarter 2025

2430
04:57:03,840 --> 04:57:11,100
the majority of our County should be
hooked up to fibers

2431
04:57:07,378 --> 04:57:16,860
will that slip possibly I had won
several about six months ago

2432
04:57:14,218 --> 04:57:21,298
that I was told they'd be there in next
month and it was two months later that

2433
04:57:18,840 --> 04:57:27,240
they came you know because things slip
they're they're dealing with issues with

2434
04:57:23,820 --> 04:57:31,580
supply chain stuff as well as they're
not going to hire an entire staff to

2435
04:57:29,458 --> 04:57:38,040
populate four counties at one time
they've got to move around and

2436
04:57:34,440 --> 04:57:43,320
and and I have no control over where
they go they they did a little bit in

2437
04:57:40,680 --> 04:57:46,920
dick in at my end of the county when
they first started because they were

2438
04:57:44,760 --> 04:57:52,138
working across the border
in Buchanan County at the time they just

2439
04:57:49,138 --> 04:57:55,920
came across and then they stopped and I
had continuous calls from the guy that

2440
04:57:54,180 --> 04:57:58,798
was 500 feet away and he didn't get
hooked up

2441
04:57:56,940 --> 04:58:03,718
so in a couple months
took about four months and he finally

2442
04:58:01,260 --> 04:58:07,378
got hooked up so I I have no control
they and they're not just they didn't

2443
04:58:05,638 --> 04:58:10,580
just start there then they jumped I
think over towards um

2444
04:58:13,820 --> 04:58:22,320
they've been in various places so yeah
and I you know but they don't there's no

2445
04:58:19,620 --> 04:58:28,400
control that we have on where they go
and I I think it's ridiculous too but

2446
04:58:25,560 --> 04:58:33,540
that's just the way it is
thank you you're welcome I just want to

2447
04:58:31,860 --> 04:58:39,180
thank everybody that came tonight the
presentations that was made

2448
04:58:36,240 --> 04:58:43,340
um I think Larry for what he has done
since he has come on board with this

2449
04:58:41,458 --> 04:58:50,878
Food City Department
we thought we was close over a year ago

2450
04:58:47,160 --> 04:58:55,920
and got the next stove in the pot that
Murray had to spend a lot of time on and

2451
04:58:52,940 --> 04:59:01,620
Lehman Lehman has been a wonderful
engineer I know food City's got their

2452
04:58:59,040 --> 04:59:08,280
own Engineers but Lehman has done a
wonderful job

2453
04:59:03,000 --> 04:59:13,200
uh I just think I'm like Ron and Josh I
get very few calls from my people

2454
04:59:10,798 --> 04:59:18,240
uh I mean every now and then somebody
sent me an email or sent me a Facebook

2455
04:59:15,180 --> 04:59:23,218
message asking about internet but I get
very few but when I'm asked and I can

2456
04:59:21,240 --> 04:59:28,320
find out where they are
I let people know I answer these

2457
04:59:26,040 --> 04:59:32,580
people's emails I send them to come on
Plateau sometimes it takes two or three

2458
04:59:30,298 --> 04:59:37,260
days to get an answer but I tell it to
people you know uh

2459
04:59:35,040 --> 04:59:44,700
I try to be there for you
we're not all 100 percent accurate

2460
04:59:41,878 --> 04:59:48,780
or on top of things but we I think we
have all tried

2461
04:59:46,920 --> 04:59:53,580
um
just to add to us anyone that needs to

2462
04:59:51,900 --> 05:00:00,540
know in their area
I this doesn't work 100 of the time but

2463
04:59:57,660 --> 05:00:04,980
if you if I get the address I can and
any of us could do that send it to

2464
05:00:02,638 --> 05:00:11,520
Scotty Wampler and he can kind of get an
idea when they plan to be there

2465
05:00:08,160 --> 05:00:15,298
not guaranteed in every case but like in
well he has it and I'm not going to get

2466
05:00:13,378 --> 05:00:19,320
back into this but I've not been
successful with that so God he asked

2467
05:00:17,340 --> 05:00:23,480
last week and and
lo and behold he came right back he got

2468
05:00:22,260 --> 05:00:30,120
it right away
on your question Scott Scotty Owens

2469
05:00:26,940 --> 05:00:34,920
asked last week on his house and I sent
it to Scotty Wampler and he while we

2470
05:00:33,298 --> 05:00:38,878
were talking about other things that
came back and he said you're not till

2471
05:00:37,080 --> 05:00:43,680
body too and they haven't started body
two it's does that give you all I can

2472
05:00:42,180 --> 05:00:50,520
tell you is by the first quarter of
2025. that's all body two doesn't start

2473
05:00:47,040 --> 05:00:54,900
until the end of 24. what's that money
two doesn't start until the end of 24

2474
05:00:52,500 --> 05:01:00,958
does it no I think it's supposed to roll
in pretty soon or 2023 sometime but they

2475
05:00:58,920 --> 05:01:04,560
haven't finished the contract yet I
don't think I think they're supposed to

2476
05:01:02,400 --> 05:01:11,040
have everything done because they said
90 or better they told me and Larry 95

2477
05:01:07,820 --> 05:01:16,200
initially that's something one well I
know they could include body too okay

2478
05:01:13,378 --> 05:01:21,298
well is that all yeah I'll entertain a
motion too

2479
05:01:18,298 --> 05:01:28,458
has two more years on that second
anybody we have a moving secondary

2480
