Nothing 50 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,160 major. I mean, there's always some 51 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,680 changes, but uh, nothing to really talk 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,160 about or incur extra costs on the 53 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,000 citizens that I found. 54 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,160 Um in our resolution 55 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,640 we 56 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:50,150 basically 57 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,760 we added two amendments 58 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,280 were the two big changes to our 59 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,480 resolution. So the first one 60 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,280 we spelled out we've never allowed EMT 61 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,400 to be in the ground. We just clarified 62 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,680 it in in a in an amendment. Um, we had 63 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,280 somebody try to do it, so we thought 64 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,280 we'd better put it in. The code does 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,200 allow EMT in direct berry. U, we 66 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200 consider the ground around here to be 67 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,200 corrosive, so we don't allow it. 68 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,560 >> No one uses it. Everybody uses PVC, 69 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,480 but we figured we had to put that in 70 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,800 there. The other one is, uh, for mobile 71 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,519 homes, uh, we've never allowed your 72 00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:33,599 service to be mounted to a mobile home. 73 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:37,200 It's really confusing in the NEC, not 74 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,319 really nailed down. Um, so we wanted to 75 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,599 clarify that and define an actual mobile 76 00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:46,000 home and state that yeah, you cannot 77 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 mount the service to a mobile home. You 78 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,959 can manufactured uh modular home, but 79 00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:53,280 not a mobile home. And the mobile home 80 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,239 is defined as a 81 00:03:56,239 --> 00:03:57,760 being built on a permanent steel 82 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,000 chassis. So, we basically just clarified 83 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,599 that. 84 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:04,799 Other than that it was just uh uh 85 00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:08,000 atalysicis atalicizing 86 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,760 uh terms that are defined 87 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,110 um 88 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,239 I think that's about it. 89 00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:22,629 Is there any questions on that? 90 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:24,720 Any questions? 91 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,199 >> Looks good. Next. 92 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:33,199 uh the attorney county contractor 93 00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:36,240 licensing rules and regulations. So, the 94 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,240 last time this document was touched that 95 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120 I could find was in 2020 96 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,759 um or uh 2000, I'm sorry, the um the 97 00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:48,639 year 2000. 98 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:50,880 So, it's been 26 years since uh 99 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,479 anything's been changed in this 100 00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:55,040 resolution. Uh we have been we have 101 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,479 implemented and previous building 102 00:04:56,479 --> 00:04:58,000 officials have implemented different 103 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,120 contractor's licenses that we've offered 104 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,520 um past few years that's never been 105 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,840 nailed down in this resolution. So I 106 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:07,600 figured it was time we had to go through 107 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,320 it and just update it. Um, 108 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,720 the majority of the big changes in the 109 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,360 regs would be the new licenses that we 110 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,160 offer and a few different definitions of 111 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,720 licensing and just updating a lot of uh verbiage and getting everything in 112 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,960 line to the way we're actually operating 113 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,320 because um it was pretty outdated. 114 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,240 Um, 115 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,240 did anybody have any specific questions 116 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,280 or anything I need need to point out in 117 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:46,150 it? 118 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,960 Uh, so with these changes, are there 119 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,790 going to be any 120 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,400 changes to the document? Are there going 121 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,720 to be any changes to how you operate at 122 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,919 all? 123 00:05:57,919 --> 00:05:58,800 >> No, sir. 124 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,360 >> Okay. 125 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,720 >> No. Um, it was basically getting the 126 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,840 contractor's licenses that we offer in 127 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:06,960 the resolution. 128 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,120 >> Oh, okay. 129 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000 >> We've been offering new licenses for 130 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,840 different contractors for quite a while 131 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,400 now and it didn't reflect in the 132 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,639 resolution. So, 133 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:21,280 and chairman, if I may, a lot of what we 134 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:26,720 did in this was um I'm just trying to like 135 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,840 get what what they actually do on paper. 136 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:31,360 um because it was missing certain 137 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,280 things. We were also trying to define a 138 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:36,479 lot of the stuff um and that's pretty 139 00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:37,919 much what we were doing. That was the 140 00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:38,800 main focus. 141 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,120 >> Okay, sounds great. Thank you. 142 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,199 >> Hey Brad, on that on the contractor 143 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:46,720 licency 144 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,400 with the changes that came out of the 145 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,440 state as far as reciprocal 146 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,840 licenses and everything like that, and 147 00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,600 this is more for the record so everybody 148 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,199 knows what's going on. Um, 149 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:02,080 how are we now within Nrona County and 150 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,039 with other counties as far as that that 151 00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:07,680 portion of it goes? 152 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,639 >> As far as the recipro 153 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:13,360 the reciprocal law that the state um 154 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,639 requires. Now, uh we basically always 155 00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:21,680 done it that way. 156 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,680 Um so there wasn't really any change 157 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,759 there. It is spelled out a little more 158 00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:28,639 clear in our regulations now about that. 159 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:31,360 >> Um but really no change. We've al we've 160 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,680 always reciprocated licenses that we 161 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,840 felt were equal to what we require 162 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,639 within the state. So no real change but 163 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:43,599 clarified. 164 00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:46,880 >> Okay. Well, like I said that basically 165 00:07:46,880 --> 00:08:02,869 just so it would be on the record that was the case. Okay. Thanks. 166 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:07,039 Then we'll move on to 167 00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:10,960 our permit fees. Now, we didn't change 168 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,000 any fees. We're still on the same fee 169 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,080 schedule that we've always been on. Um, 170 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,440 I think this was changed back 171 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,360 in 2020, if I remember right, is when uh 172 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,919 these fees went into effect. The big 173 00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:28,560 thing was we've always charged a $25 174 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,800 application fee. It was never on this 175 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,800 document. 176 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,719 And then we added in the zoning 177 00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:36,800 certificate fee and the temporary 178 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,959 dwelling permit fee that we've always 179 00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:40,959 charged. It was just never spelled out 180 00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:43,919 in our in our resolution, in our 181 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,320 document. So, it's basically getting 182 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,959 that on paper 183 00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:52,320 that was never there or got missed. 184 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,630 So, the fees all just stayed the same. 185 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,590 » Any questions on the fees? 186 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,200 » Sounds good. 187 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,959 >> U Mr. chairman and commissioners. Also, 188 00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:08,720 regarding fees for the planning 189 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,440 department, we uh did both of our fees 190 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,600 together uh because ours needed cleaned 191 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,200 up a bit on the planning and zoning 192 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,120 side. Uh some of the subdivisions that 193 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,320 uh the processes that we have were just 194 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,480 clumped under one and so it was really 195 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120 difficult to see what it actually was 196 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,399 supposed to be charged. Another um place 197 00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:31,760 that was clumped under was the 198 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,920 conditional use permit. And it looked 199 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,720 like if you needed a a conditional use 200 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,480 permit, then you had this fee. But if 201 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,399 you had a project and you didn't have a 202 00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:44,320 conditional use, you could argue that 203 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,920 you didn't have to pay that fee just 204 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,000 because the way it was listed um 205 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,839 previously. So we kind of extrapolated 206 00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:52,080 all that out. We did increase the fees 207 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,240 for the wind, like a wind farm and a 208 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,600 solar farm.

So, I 806 02:44:48,240 --> 02:44:50,399 want to find that out because I know 807 02:44:50,399 --> 02:44:52,319 there's a 808 02:44:52,319 --> 02:44:54,319 possible request going to show up 809 02:44:54,319 --> 02:44:56,160 wanting to put a data center in this 810 02:44:56,160 --> 02:44:58,960 county. I don't know when exactly. I've 811 02:44:58,960 --> 02:45:01,600 talked to the people though about it. 812 02:45:01,600 --> 02:45:04,399 And uh they tell me they have it located 813 02:45:04,399 --> 02:45:06,160 in a place where it won't bother 814 02:45:06,160 --> 02:45:11,040 neighbors or upset people.

And they say 819 02:45:20,560 --> 02:45:22,319 that if they get it running the way they 820 02:45:22,319 --> 02:45:24,160 perceive it, it would mean a hundred 821 02:45:24,160 --> 02:45:25,920 million dollars a year in taxes to 822 02:45:25,920 --> 02:45:29,200 Atrona County, which if we got that, we 823 02:45:29,200 --> 02:45:31,279 would be flush. 824 02:45:31,279 --> 02:45:33,200 So, I want to go down and find out if 825 02:45:33,200 --> 02:45:37,920 this is true and if that if if it's uh 826 02:45:37,920 --> 02:45:41,279 going to happen maybe and uh just to 827 02:45:41,279 --> 02:45:43,200 find out more information because a lot 828 02:45:43,200 --> 02:45:44,880 of people don't even understand what a 829 02:45:44,880 --> 02:45:48,319 data center is. But if you watch Netflix 830 02:45:48,319 --> 02:45:49,840 comes through a data center if you have 831 02:45:49,840 --> 02:45:52,000 a credit card and you pay it comes 832 02:45:52,000 --> 02:45:55,120 through a data center.
