Or why don't we just come back to 24 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,560 that? People want to just take a little look while we go through presentations. 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,720 Um, and then we can go back and do uh get those 26 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:56,799 formally approved.

Um, so on August 18th is a uh 33 00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:38,160 going to be a workshop with the commission and our Babcock design as 34 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,480 well as Marcus Keller with for the county complex. So that's a public 35 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:50,840 safety tax. So that'll be the public safety tax conversation, not a vote. Um, 36 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,840 some other ways of funding uh this 37 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,840 You're froze. You're froze. 38 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840 » You lost everybody. 39 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,239 Clean it all. 40 00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:33,600 Sorry, we have bad internet today. I don't know 41 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,040 exactly what it is, but we're back. >> Spotty internet 42 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,840 » warning. >> All right. 43 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:44,720 » Yeah. So, so I'll keep talking. Mis will pull up the draft plans. Um, and this is 44 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,520 just a draft. We have sent them back to Babcock to come back with and he'll have 45 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:53,280 a better um thing that will be going on but it's you know it's got retail space 46 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:57,360 that so it can be a public private partnership. So there'll be retail space 47 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,360 probably along you know the road that faces main street. It'll have a parking 48 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,360 complex and then it will have the public safety building with all of the things 49 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,440 that that with the courts hopefully in intact with that and that will leave 50 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,120 this building so that we can expand over into the courthouse area for more office 51 00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:17,360 space because we need that and especially as we move um everybody 52 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:23,280 around because we'll have to get rid of people off out of the mob office of 53 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:27,680 tourism our um uh maintenance chat you know and then also trails and stuff. So 54 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:32,080 they'll they'll have to move eventually into this building and and we'll move 55 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,199 them somewhere else during the during the model if if it's approved by the 56 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:40,759 commission. But it's going to be >> just stopped again. 57 00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:40,759 » Again 58 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:50,680 there >> Oh, there we go. 59 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,680 » I cannot find the word minutes. 60 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,880 portal. >> I'm at the I'm on the 61 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,919 um I went to the agenda center. >> Oh, agenda center is the old one. Just 62 00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:07,039 have to It's the other link. It's agenda center's like 2022. 63 00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:11,720 » You just if you just search for Grant County agendas. 64 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,720 » That's what 65 00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:20,280 » Are you guys able to see my screen? >> Yes. Online. Okay, perfect. 66 00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:25,600 retail space. That's cool. >> Yeah, it's got a lot of cool. So, it 67 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:29,440 won't be all funded. It would cannot be all funded by that public safety tax. So 68 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:34,000 that public safety tax will only be able to fund at the public safety building in 69 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:41,360 the courts, but there can be other other pieces of it that we can use to fund um 70 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,639 » fund the retail space and which is also was going to benefit you know retail 71 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:48,720 space in Moab's hard to find especially downtown and more parking 72 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,840 » and it's it's going to be really cool idea. So, I was just going to give you 73 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:55,360 guys a sneak peek of it for for this because we could use I mean we talk 74 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,440 about county projects >> and you know what do we do with RCOG 75 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:05,120 money? Well, we can use this for like infrastructure as that particular piece 76 00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:08,240 because we won't be able to use the tax for that. So, anyway, so she's got it 77 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,199 pulled up. So, I don't know if we can make it bigger. 78 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,319 » So, I thought I might have made this up. It might be from some other county that 79 00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:20,960 are looking. Um, >> is there a fund somewhere for a new 80 00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:27,400 courthouse, county chambers kind of thing? Like new room? 81 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,400 » No, there's nothing. 82 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:37,440 » What was that, Pamela? >> Sorry about that. My husband cut his 83 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:44,280 hand and I'm >> Oh, no. Oh. 84 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,280 Um, Chris, 85 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:50,080 » so at one point in time our county did talk about building a new like office 86 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:53,120 structure over here, I think when Chris B was here, but I that's not I don't 87 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,039 think that's the intent of our commission at this moment in time is to 88 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:01,280 build a new office space for us. I mean, this office space here, yeah, would have 89 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:06,639 been great, but isn't really needed and should be paid for by taxpayer. But the 90 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:10,720 jail is has a lot of of needs. you know, we don't have medical, we don't have um 91 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:16,639 we have a lot of blind corners. Dispatch is inside of the jail, which dispatch 92 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:20,080 has to um run the jail and dispatch at the time 93 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:25,039 same time, which isn't really safe for our for our officers and inmates. And 94 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:31,120 then we also have like issues with the doors. Um we have a lot of issues with 95 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:35,279 our evidence where evidence is located at. 96 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,800 So all of those things needed need to be highly addressed, but this is kind of an 97 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:45,120 idea. Um >> I also have Mil Creek pulled up like if 98 00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:51,760 you wanted to show kind of what it is modeled after or like 99 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,640 have you guys are you guys familiar with the Mil Creek City? 100 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,240 » I was just there last week. >> Complex. 101 00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,800 » The splash. >> Okay. Yes. All right. Well, then you'll 102 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:04,959 know exactly. So the whole idea is we met with Mike Wender, the Mil Creek city 103 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,959 mayor, and he was able to share performance of all the different phases 104 00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:12,800 of the project and share the capital stack and how it came together. But 105 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:17,680 essentially the way that it works is that all of the city offices, all of 106 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:22,640 their needs are on the top floors with a climbing wall, an ice skating rink, a 107 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:27,680 roller skating rink, lots of activation space, lots of retail and ground level 108 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:34,240 commercial and a parking complex. and the revenues from those activities are 109 00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:40,000 what pay for all of the municipal offices and all their uses up top. 110 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,200 So, it's the whole idea of Grand County is really short on retail space and 111 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:48,399 we're really short on leasable commercial space and we're also really 112 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:53,920 short on parking. So if we were able to combine and say we can put together a 113 00:09:51,120 --> 00:10:00,160 capital staff around providing 365 parking stalls and then have ground 114 00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:05,680 level retail commercial activation space around the outside of that area 115 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,600 then how does that work with the proformata for long-term investment? 116 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,320 » Cool. >> Yeah. So um I'd invite you to join us on 117 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,120 August 18th. >> Yeah. When is it? It's August 18th. And 118 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,640 I don't know if it'll be ear. I don't know what that agenda will look like if 119 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:24,480 it will be before like at 3:00 or if it will just be at 4:00. It kind of 120 00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:29,120 depends. But I don't know if that those time frames in your schedule. And then, 121 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,279 you know, and then the other thing that I've been working on diligently is our 122 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:37,120 Kenya's Healthcare Special Service District is expanding the care center. 123 00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:42,000 And that looks like we're at like a two-year time frame to start possibly 124 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:47,120 start construction on that. And then we had nine proposals for the master plan 125 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:52,079 for the maps campus. It's the eight acres and we did um have interviews with 126 00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:56,000 two of those Monday. We'll have two more next Monday and we'll have decided who's 127 00:10:53,839 --> 00:10:59,920 going to be starting that master plan. So there'll be so with both of these 128 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,360 projects I mean I with the both of these projects for sure the maps master plan 129 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:08,079 is going to have a lot of public engagement and then obviously um the 130 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,120 county complex I don't know so much that it will have public engagement because 131 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,279 it's just a county project but I think that having you know you guys educated 132 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,959 on that would be great and I mean in long term the maps plan or the care 133 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,079 center could also be RCOG funds could help with those too. I mean, those are 134 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,640 just future future looking ad projects that if that was something that the 135 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:30,000 board wanted to >> the care center right now is like the 136 00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:32,800 funding plan for that is to use the the new tax healthare tax. 137 00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:36,320 » Yeah. >> Yep. But they'll have to get a bond. I 138 00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:40,720 mean, it'll be like I think they're thinking about it's about 14 million is 139 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:45,600 what they're expecting that to cost. >> Yes. 140 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:48,720 And I think um oh the other thing is I was just curious have any I know Aaron's 141 00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:52,000 seen the housing dashboard but has anyone else seen the housing dashboard 142 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,240 that Melissa created? I just thought that would be an interesting thing to 143 00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:58,720 share. >> It's like a new one not the not what's 144 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,079 not just the been on the task force website like different stuff. 145 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,800 » It's on the task force but only for a couple months. When did when was that 146 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,440 finished? Few months. >> Yeah. A couple months. 147 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:14,160 » A couple months. So really uh yeah I just wanted to just 148 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,360 show you guys that as well since economic board has had a lot to do with 149 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,880 housing and just see where we're at. So if you 150 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:24,560 go to >> so 151 00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:29,200 basically it shows like this is what the funnel looks like. Then it gives all of 152 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:34,560 the raw data that is populating the funnel and you can preview the gap 153 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:39,600 analysis and see sort of where we are in relation to where we wanted to be in 154 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:44,959 2030. That's all driven by the Moab Area Housing Task Force 155 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:50,880 data that they created. and it just provides all of the projections 156 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:56,880 and then lines up with the priorities so that we're able to see that. But what's 157 00:12:53,920 --> 00:13:01,200 really interesting is where it has been really helpful and really useful is to 158 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:06,639 discover that we're tracking ahead of plan for 2030 in a lot of areas and it 159 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:12,000 shows us exactly where we're behind and then it shows us where our biggest gap 160 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:17,760 is which is really great because it is affordable housing for older adults. And 161 00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:21,519 so that's what we'll be able to correct and address theoretically with the MAPS 162 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:26,000 campus project and the the expansion of the Canyon Lands Healthcare Center. But 163 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:32,680 that's the area where we've got the most amount of red is affordable housing for 164 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,680 older adults. 165 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:41,920 » Cool. >> And then if you if you do break it into 166 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,399 the agenda center, um >> I got there. 167 00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:49,519 » You got there. Okay. And if you look at two two uh meetings ago, the 1st of 168 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:54,959 July, I think it was July 7th, I did roll out a chair's chair's priority 169 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:59,360 statement. So it's got 10 goals of the commission um the commission majority 170 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:03,120 currently. And so it's got those 10 different priorities and if you want to 171 00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:07,600 look at that, it it will be addressed in this board. I think all the part of the 172 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:11,680 our policies and procedures are that all chairs will do this going forward at the 173 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:15,040 county and they'll create this priority statement. they can take mine and tear 174 00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:18,160 it apart or or go from there. And then and then that will be shared with all 175 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,399 the boards so that the boards will know what is the idea. So all the directors 176 00:14:20,079 --> 00:14:25,680 and our county um directors and county staff and our boards all know what the 177 00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:28,959 direction of the commission is so that no one sitting here going well what what 178 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,399 are we supposed to be doing? So that's also on there and I think you'll get a 179 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,480 copy of it. I I know that Dana was working on getting out to all of our 180 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,399 staff first and then she will get it to um 181 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,279 » what are we calling it? Chair >> chair's priority statement. 182 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,040 You know what? That's a good idea. I know I've seen that happen in the past. 183 00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:52,480 That's a good idea. >> So, those are those are my updates and I 184 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,519 mean I'd always take any questions that people have any 185 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,760 » So, is that available already? That was something that was like released or 186 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,920 passed or >> It wasn't past discussion. Yeah. 187 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,920 » Yeah. But it's part of the commission um the agenda documents for that day. 188 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,800 » Yeah. Agenda documents already. >> Yeah. To project that. 189 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,600 » Yeah. Why not? Sure. >> Do you want to send that to me? 190 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,320 » You want me to send to you? >> Do you mind? 191 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:22,880 » I don't know if I have it official or do I clean it up nicer, but she sent it to 192 00:15:19,199 --> 00:15:27,320 the director. So, let's see. I could send it to you though. Sent. 193 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:35,199 I could send it all to you guys. I was just hoping it would come from like not 194 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:38,959 just me, but from the >> through well through Mark, Dana, 195 00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:42,079 whatever. I'm happy to share it to you. Look at it for a sec. 196 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,959 » Yeah. What else can you tell about it? 197 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:57,040 » I thought there was money and dream of a new 198 00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:00,920 » dream. Dreams. >> Yeah. Wouldn't that be nice? 199 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,279 » A window. 200 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:14,240 I've got Dana send it to me too because still says draft on it but she's she's 201 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,720 fixed it all up. Send it to 202 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:27,360 actually none of them have windows. None. 203 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:32,199 So, and Bernal both have really nice fancy pants rooms, but they don't 204 00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:44,480 » form. I'm still back on the county. They have 205 00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:44,480 uh 206 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:54,360 We'll get to the western spirit. [laughter] 207 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,360 » We need that. We need a couple screens. 208 00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:58,680 » Too, you know, >> fishbowl. 209 00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:04,880 » I hope that didn't send you the whole spend. 210 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:09,039 » Are you technically like the tallest building? 211 00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:14,079 » I might send you the whole entire thing, Melissa. Well, 212 00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:17,520 » I sent you the whole entire >> Did you email it to me? 213 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:21,039 » Yeah, >> that could have been like 214 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:26,360 » Oh, got it. >> It might be the whole packet. Oh, no. 215 00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:31,240 That went that fast. 216 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:39,320 No, it's not. Yeah. Here we go. 217 00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:45,840 I can forward it to you guys too if you want to. 218 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:50,080 » Sure. Yeah. >> It's the draft one. So you'll see 219 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:53,720 specific >> the substance is 220 00:17:53,919 --> 00:18:00,200 » it's like substantially the same. >> Yeah. Just formatted. 221 00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:26,720 Did you find it? >> Um, yeah, you sent it to me and I 222 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:33,640 thought that I downloaded it so that I could pop it up 223 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,640 there. 224 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,320 Anybody 225 00:18:43,679 --> 00:18:47,400 online have any questions? 226 00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:58,000 Um, I can't really see anything. I can just hear y'all talking, but I mean I 227 00:18:55,919 --> 00:19:03,840 can see it, but I can't see it. You know, it's too small. Is there a way 228 00:19:01,919 --> 00:19:10,360 we'll get a link or something another so we can actually see? So I can see what 229 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:10,360 this is. 230 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,400 Is everybody frozen again? 231 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,080 Well, 232 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,080 » hey Pamela, I can hear you. Just give you some confirmation that the other 233 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:48,880 Zoomers, we can hear you, but it looks like their um chambers may have dropped 234 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:55,200 off here with connection. We'll see what happens. 235 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:58,400 Oh, you might be muted right now. >> Yes, I was. I was muted. Thank you, 236 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,880 though, Corey. >> Yeah. Yeah, I'm I'm there with you. I've 237 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:07,880 kind of been seeing the same thing. >> It's kind of hard to follow. 238 00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,880 » Yeah. Yeah. 239 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:57,840 Well, I I it's interesting they they're the host chambers and so if they've 240 00:20:56,159 --> 00:21:02,640 dropped off and Deborah, I'm not sure if you're here with us, too. Um 241 00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:06,960 » yeah, I'm here. >> Yeah, that's you that's odd. We 242 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:11,280 sometimes have that with the city system where the host network will drop off but 243 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,559 the Zoom continues. Um but usually that would be that 244 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,720 they're they're logging back in and things just continue to run as normal 245 00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:22,960 but not sure. They may not even >> recognize that they've dropped off. 246 00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:25,120 » Yeah. Before you hopped on Corey, this happened. 247 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,080 » Oh, it did? And they popped back on. Gotcha. 248 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,200 » Yeah. >> Okay. So, I mean that's very odd but 249 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:35,679 kind of typical weirdly enough. >> Yeah. They said that their internet was 250 00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:39,360 in and out today. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay. Well, we'll we'll hang around then. 251 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:43,000 » We'll see. >> Yeah. Thank you. 252 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:42,960 Oh, sorry guys. Okay, so again, we have very bad 253 00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:48,960 internet today. I think what we're going to do is move to the action item uh and 254 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,919 then try to get that taken care of so that if the internet cuts out again and 255 00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:55,760 we have to just adjurnn, we can just adjurnn. Um if we have time for more 256 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,600 discussion, there's some interesting things that have been brought up. We'll 257 00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:59,600 come back. 258 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,600 before it. 259 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,640 Oh Sorry. 260 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:59,279 Is everyone able to see the screen? Yes. 261 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,919 » Oh, okay. Perfect. Okay, awesome. Um, just to go back through the budget, we 262 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:07,200 have >> We we see you, Melissa. We see the room, 263 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:10,159 not the screen you're sharing. >> Oh, thank you. 264 00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:12,559 » There you go. >> Well, I do at least. 265 00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:17,120 » Thanks. >> Now, it should be up. 266 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,039 » Okay. Got it. >> Now, can you see it? 267 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:24,559 » Yes. >> Oh, yay. 268 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:30,480 So, uh, just as a refresher, we had already, uh, voted to spend the $50,000 269 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:36,720 for Kenya Lensfield Airport. And then for the remainder of the 270 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:41,840 budget, what had been proposed was, um, capacity building for staff, 271 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:45,600 memberships, and partnerships, county profile, software tools, and reporting, 272 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:49,559 and then matching funds for economic development project grants. 273 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,919 for a total of 150. 274 00:27:56,799 --> 00:28:03,399 » So, and then with the airport then that gets us to the 200. 275 00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:16,159 » Sorry, what's what's the conference? >> Conferences. So, like the top summit. 276 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,799 Yeah. >> Go to conferences. You're not hosting 277 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:24,799 Oh, yeah. I've done it for $10,000. It's not 278 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:29,760 » um membership partnerships. What is that? 279 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:35,200 » Uh most of that is EDC Utah. So EDC Utah, the work that we do with Z's 280 00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:41,679 public finance, those are the memberships. 281 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,559 » Oh, I don't remember that ever being a thing. But 282 00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:49,520 » it's because we've never paid for it before. It was always paid out of 283 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:54,960 economic diversification funds. But this board has never 284 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:59,279 funded economic development department before. They've just done STEM grant 285 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,279 programs. So all of this is >> okay 286 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,880 to this. >> If I remember correctly, you've also 287 00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:11,520 told us that the we've sort of lapsed on our funding to EDC and have an outdated 288 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,240 page for >> all of those things, 289 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:19,279 » business attraction. It's like that sort of that side that thing. So, it's paying 290 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,919 for trying to recruit businesses to mow it 291 00:29:20,399 --> 00:29:24,960 » along with some other services they provide. 292 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:31,360 » So, yeah, >> they've got a whole package of things 293 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:36,240 that they do for different counties and like for example our sales tax leakage 294 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:42,320 reports, all of the reporting that they do for us, but we're just 295 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:46,720 behind two years. So, it's not going to be going forward 30,000 a year for per 296 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:53,440 se or it is. >> It probably is, but it won't be coming 297 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:57,840 from this group. Theoretically, maybe. >> Okay. And then um 298 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,880 » in the past it came from economic development budget. 299 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:05,000 » Okay. Matching funds for economic development project grants. 300 00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:14,399 Those are the old grants, not new. Like >> this would be any new grants. So for 301 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:20,080 example, if we decided that we wanted to apply for RCOG to do pre-construction 302 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:25,919 costs on the development projects for the county complex, then our 10% 303 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:30,880 required match on that would be $35,000 $40,000. 304 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:34,960 » Okay. So So not grants for giving, grants for applying. 305 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,760 » Correct. Yeah. Okay. 306 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:42,320 » I mean, I think that's smart. It's one thing I've talked to folks about before 307 00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:44,480 is that we should have a budget for match [clears throat] to be able to 308 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,440 match because we don't want to be able to we don't want to run into a position 309 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,960 where we're applying for a grant as a county and not be able to come up with 310 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:56,240 match. >> That's the bucket I wish was higher. 311 00:30:53,200 --> 00:31:00,520 » Yeah. But that said, this is just for 2027, so it needs 312 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:18,640 So just to also go back to last meeting, I 313 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:24,480 mean one thing we talked about was making a recommendation that goes along 314 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,799 with B, you know, this this for this year being a year in which funding the 315 00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:34,320 department. That's a transition here. Yeah. Right. Um, 316 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,360 and I think I brought up maybe that it would be great, I think it would be 317 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:43,760 great to have along with that a statement that going forward we would 318 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:50,399 like to not do this backwards or you know, but rather it'd be 319 00:31:47,919 --> 00:31:56,720 the the preferred way to do this is to have us offer input 320 00:31:52,960 --> 00:32:01,039 before the budgeting process allocates funds 321 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:06,000 so that there can a space for, you know, actual back and forth between the 322 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:11,360 commission and and this board. So, that's what what I would sort of 323 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:16,640 throw out there is that we, you know, we trust Melissa and the team to make the 324 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:19,360 best use of the funding for this year, understanding that this is a transition 325 00:32:18,159 --> 00:32:22,640 year and that we make part of our recommendation. We use that language in 326 00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:26,240 the recommendation that this is a transition year, you know, sort of 327 00:32:24,399 --> 00:32:28,960 suggesting that this isn't the way we should be funding the department going 328 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:35,120 forward. and that the you know the the preferred 329 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:42,480 way to decide how RCG funds are spent 330 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:45,760 with a process from this board that offers a recommendation of commission 331 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:50,320 and then the commission acts on that that's you know that's 332 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:56,480 work outside of that process this board for several reasons 333 00:32:53,519 --> 00:33:00,320 that's what I would put out there is something along those lines what other 334 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,279 people's thoughts are, what you'd like to see in a recommendation to the 335 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:07,840 commission from the sports. >> I got a lot more than that, but so it's 336 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:12,000 kind of a big can of worms, but um I mean I feel like this board could be 337 00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:16,000 more of of a place to get information about how economic development is going 338 00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:20,240 in the community, how business community is doing. It could be a conduit, not so 339 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:24,480 much like the planning commission like we're going to vote on every little 340 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:30,000 thing, but it could be more um could really add value in terms of helping 341 00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:35,679 with economic development decisions that as opposed to um you know just the 342 00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:39,600 grants or just stuff that we were all limited to. So I don't know. I think 343 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:43,919 that if we're if our goal is to get this done today, if we have a quorum, um I 344 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:47,279 mean I think you're right, Chris, that we need to think about what is the 345 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:52,159 purpose of this board going forward and what what are we 346 00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:58,000 you know what is our role and and right now our what do we call it charter uh 347 00:33:56,159 --> 00:34:07,279 bylaws or say just do the just do the um grants 348 00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:11,119 pretty much. And so um and so even though it's because the grants aren't 349 00:34:09,359 --> 00:34:17,760 available this year because county is has needs the funds then it's sort of 350 00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:19,919 like okay. So I don't know I think I think if we were going to add any 351 00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:22,800 language like that we might want to think about it more and work chuck it a 352 00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:28,000 little bit and think about a way to make it palatable to or more productive or 353 00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:30,800 something. But um I just have one question about this but but if you want 354 00:34:29,839 --> 00:34:32,399 to make a motion and you have >> No, I'm not gonna make a motion. 355 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:37,520 » Okay. Go ahead. >> Okay. um on the uh 40,000 if we don't 356 00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:40,159 spend it to apply for some grant this year. Do you guys already have a grant 357 00:34:38,879 --> 00:34:46,560 in mind that you need that matching money for? 358 00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:51,679 » I would like to apply for a lot more. I mean, there's so much I'm shocked at how 359 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:55,440 much we're not funding as a county and how much opportunity is available to us. 360 00:34:53,839 --> 00:35:00,640 And all of those are tied to matching funds. So, the only reason why I 361 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:06,720 budgeted the 40,000 is just because there's not a lot of budget. 40,000 362 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:12,640 theoretically would just be the one RCG match. If it weren't and we had 363 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:17,280 additional opportunities available, I wish that we had more in pocket. So, 364 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:22,560 the reason why I did that one is it's the minimum for what the ask would be 365 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:28,640 probably on the RCOG this year. Deborah, do you know if you can use RCG to match 366 00:35:25,839 --> 00:35:33,079 for RCG? >> I don't know if you're there with us 367 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,079 right now, Deborah. 368 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:40,800 » Um um I will have to get back to you on 369 00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:43,119 that. >> Okay. 370 00:35:41,359 --> 00:35:44,720 » I don't want to say officially and be wrong. 371 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,400 » Yeah, no problem. >> So, I will find out and get back to you. 372 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:53,200 » Okay. I mean, I presume if that's not 373 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:58,800 feasible, then that would be available for either other grants. And if that 374 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:02,480 ends up not being the case, then you'd what? Probably spread that 40,000 among 375 00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:08,640 those other categories up there. >> Yeah. I mean, I would rather use it to 376 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:12,240 apply for grants that aren't RCOD. >> Yeah. Yeah, that sounds great. But yes, 377 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:15,119 worst case scenario, I think that we would go back and 378 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:20,079 » reconfigure that >> in in regardless, you could still, you 379 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:25,440 know, put it in for your application. That's a discussion once it reaches um 380 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:29,680 compliance or James Dixon that we have then also I'll definitely get an answer 381 00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:35,520 before then, but I would suggest you still move forward in your in your 382 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:38,520 process regardless. Okay. 383 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,599 So, I guess the answer was you don't have a specific grant now, but you feel 384 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:50,000 like there's a lot of grants out there that we should be applying for. Is that 385 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,680 » specifically? I'm hoping that we can use it for our COG. 386 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:57,119 » Okay. >> Because that's what we need it for. But 387 00:36:53,280 --> 00:37:01,920 if we can't, then there are USDA community facilities grants that we also 388 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:05,359 want to apply for and several EDA grants that we want to apply for as well. 389 00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:09,839 » Okay. And I guess my question is if you don't if the timing of the grant that 390 00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:15,520 you decide you want to apply for is um off and this doesn't get spent in the 391 00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:20,400 fiscal year or whatever the dates of this are um can it carry over so that 392 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,839 you would be building up a grants matching 393 00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:28,320 or would it go away? >> That's a Deborah question. So obviously 394 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:33,599 it would come back to the board to decide what you wanted to do with it. 395 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:38,320 » Well you you you can encumber them. So, say you do want to use them for matching 396 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:48,200 funds, you can still carry them over the next year as um encumbered funds for 397 00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:48,200 um for matching grants. 398 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:58,560 So, you're still saying that you're going to use it for that reason and you 399 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:04,640 can transfer them over for the same reason. It's really when um you're 400 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:07,280 changing a project, you're going to use the funds for something completely 401 00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:11,000 different. >> Yeah, that makes sense. 402 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:17,079 » Um so, 403 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:25,200 okay. So, given all that, I guess it's fine. I mean, so you need a motion to 404 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:28,160 approve this budget. Well, >> the way Well, the way I' the way I've 405 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,520 thought about it, I just found I had written about potential motion last time 406 00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:34,960 and I'm happy to put it up if you want to see it. But 407 00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:39,359 » I think we should just say that the money be dedicated to the needs of 408 00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:42,880 economic development staff in ways that the county staff dee best to promote the 409 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:47,119 development of greater economic opportunity. We just don't, you know, we 410 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:51,520 don't give it a specific budget like this is the money that the the staff is 411 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:56,160 going to use. It has to, you know, it has to be approved by commission 412 00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:58,800 administrator and Melissa. Like, let's let them spend the money the way that 413 00:38:57,359 --> 00:39:02,400 they think it has the most impact, which is, I mean, we're seeing what exactly 414 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:06,560 what that is, but but that way if the 40,000 doesn't work there and it needs 415 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:09,280 to get reconfigured, it's just their budget. I mean, that's what the whole 416 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:13,800 point is. This is supposed to be the economic development budget this year. 417 00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:20,720 If folks want the spreadsheet, like, I'm not opposed to that. I just kind of 418 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:24,880 think it's cleaner to just say we're just we're going to make that 419 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:28,000 recommendation that it supports them. >> And so you're saying don't even give 420 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,680 specifics and let them do whatever they want. 421 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:32,480 » Yeah. >> Interesting. 422 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:36,160 » Yeah. I mean it's a it's like the same as it would be if it was a budget for a 423 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:40,720 department, >> right? I mean it is our recommendation. 424 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:45,880 So there's nothing wrong with doing it a different way, doing it more specific, 425 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,880 but 426 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:53,760 » I don't Well, it's a tiny amount of money really. And you're right that like 427 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:57,119 if you had something come up, but I don't even know when this time frame is. 428 00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:01,920 I mean, we've already spent the 50,000 for the airport. 429 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:05,599 » This is it's July. It's August and we're approving the budget for this fiscal 430 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:10,320 year. So, that is the calendar and the fiscal the same 431 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:16,520 » calendar 2027. So, October one. Deborah, is it September or 432 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,520 October? 433 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:26,240 So we live with this. This is would be the budget for from October to October 434 00:40:24,079 --> 00:40:30,240 September 1st or whatever. Okay. So this is for the future. 435 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,640 » Is that right? But I mean how we already spent 50,000 in this that wasn't in 436 00:40:33,359 --> 00:40:40,720 October of this year. That was >> because we deferred payment on this on 437 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:45,520 the airport. So the airport is going to get paid off out of this fund. Oh, we 438 00:40:43,839 --> 00:40:50,240 had the cash to pay it. We just >> Correct. So, we deferred it. 439 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:55,040 » So, we put we used future money of this committee. Okay. 440 00:40:52,960 --> 00:41:01,280 » Last year, 2025, >> we ran a subrant program. 441 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:05,440 » 2026, >> that's where it's confusing. So, I just 442 00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:09,040 finished the final reporting and submitted [snorts] 443 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:14,960 last week for fiscal year 2026 RCG. >> Okay. That was all of the correct. So 444 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:22,160 the reporting on it has to be completed by July 30th. So we just completed 445 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:27,839 meaning submitted last week >> on fiscal year 2026 funding. The problem 446 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:31,760 is, and just so that you guys are aware, the the the issue that it causes for 447 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:36,000 subgrant programs, and we need to be aware of this moving forward, and it 448 00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:42,079 caused a few hiccups this year that we've had to deal with, is theoretically 449 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:44,480 this program only allows subgrantees or whoever six months to complete a 450 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,040 project. >> Yeah. 451 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,760 » So, by the time that you are good to go and you know for sure that you're 452 00:41:48,319 --> 00:41:52,480 getting the money, you literally only have six months before your reporting is 453 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:58,079 due, right? >> And it creates a really tight 454 00:41:55,839 --> 00:42:01,359 compressed timeline. It's a little tricky, 455 00:41:59,119 --> 00:42:06,319 » but it's definitely fiscal. This is fiscal 2027. It either runs from 456 00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:08,400 Endeavor would have to check me on this, but it's September. 457 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:15,680 » That's what's weird about this is because the the commission suggested 458 00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:20,560 that the RCG should be paying for I mean the commission budget that was approved 459 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:24,560 was for fiscal 2026, right? It's because we can unc encumber 460 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:31,200 it in 2026 because that's this this year. So our ours goes from January to 461 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:36,240 December, but the grant goes from October to whatever. So 462 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:41,200 » I think I missed a question. I'm sorry. I had a call. I think you were asking me 463 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:47,359 about the the fiscal year. The state's fiscal year is July 1st to June 30th. 464 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:50,560 » And that's that's the fiscal year that this grant follows. Sorry, that's my 465 00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:53,200 math. >> That answers all. 466 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:57,040 » So, we'll so we'll we'll receive this money from the state in our in our 2026 467 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,000 budget. >> Totally. So, I got 468 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,079 » Yeah, it was just the fact that the state 469 00:43:00,319 --> 00:43:07,520 » Yeah, it is it is it is opposite. >> Yeah. 470 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:11,200 » Okay. Um Pamela, Amanda, do you guys have anything that you you know, 471 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:15,000 thoughts about approving this? What you'd like to see in a motion? 472 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:25,839 » Nothing in partic. I mean, it's kind of it's different, but this is transition 473 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:32,599 as you said, but I I like seeing things spelled out, but instead of being loosey 474 00:43:29,599 --> 00:43:32,599 goosey. 475 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:41,440 » Yeah, Erin, Amanda, also if you have anything. 476 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:44,240 » Oh, sorry. Yeah, go for it. >> Go ahead, Amanda, if you wanted to jump 477 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:47,599 in. I was just going to say I like the idea 478 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,960 of the spreadsheet but also like the caveat that um you know if there's the 479 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:56,400 matching funds but there is no grant for the matching funds but then you have 480 00:43:54,560 --> 00:44:01,520 that caveat where rather than bring it back to us they can just move forward 481 00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:07,040 with something in place. >> So somehow kind of giving giving them 482 00:44:04,319 --> 00:44:10,720 that leeway to reallocate funds if need be. 483 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:14,400 » Okay. >> Yeah, I agree with that. 484 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:22,640 So, not just carry it forward, but say if you don't use it for a grant, you 485 00:44:19,359 --> 00:44:27,119 could use it for something else. >> Is that I was thinking I guess I was 486 00:44:25,599 --> 00:44:30,480 thinking that we could build up the grant fund like 487 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,640 » imagine >> that um if we don't spend I mean we're 488 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:40,079 both talking about right if we don't spend it what happens to it? And so we 489 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:43,280 could give both options. We could say if it doesn't happen and you have another 490 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:48,640 priority, you could bring it to us and we could discuss it or we could decide 491 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:52,880 to carry it forward. I mean, I definitely know how hard it is to find 492 00:44:50,079 --> 00:44:55,280 matching funds for grants. And I I definitely think that you're right. 493 00:44:54,000 --> 00:45:00,400 There's a million grants that we don't apply for. So, but if you don't, if 494 00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:04,400 nothing fits the calendar or whatever the specific need right now, it would be 495 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:08,480 great to build that up if that got to be $100,000 or whatever. But I'm not sure 496 00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:12,400 in the world of the county we can actually cling on to that money. And 497 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:16,560 that's what I'm asking. Kind of like >> well, if it's encumbered, if it's 498 00:45:14,079 --> 00:45:19,359 encumbered, then it has to then I mean, it can't be spent on something else, 499 00:45:18,319 --> 00:45:23,599 » right? Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. Do we even have that power 500 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:29,040 to kind of encumber it and say let's keep this going so that in future as 501 00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:36,800 school grants come up we have some money to spend that that was the idea. So um 502 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:40,240 but you could do both. You could say at your discretion I mean so there seems 503 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:45,200 like there's three ideas on the table right now. One is scrap the budget and 504 00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:50,720 say it's all at your discretion and we approve spending the money. Second one 505 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:55,359 is approve it like it is, but say this 400,000 is for matching funds going 506 00:45:53,359 --> 00:45:59,920 forward. You know, I mean, we could always vote to change our mind, I guess, 507 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:04,960 if some compelling thing came up. I mean, we voted to do the airport, 508 00:46:01,839 --> 00:46:09,440 whatever. And then um and then the third one is kind of what you just mentioned, 509 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:14,560 Amanda, that it it Well, I guess that's that's the other the second one. It's 510 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:19,680 it's it's discretionary. So, I don't really Yeah, but you do you need us you 511 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,839 probably need us to do something on this today. 512 00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:25,680 » So, she's I think I I think that the way that it works is that if you guys 513 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:30,160 approve like the budget how it is, that's the paperwork that goes just like 514 00:46:27,599 --> 00:46:33,200 everything else we've had to do. If if you guys recommend it and the commission 515 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,200 says yes, >> right? 516 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:43,280 » Then then they take it and and it's it's a report. So she fills out a report, she 517 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:48,480 sends it to the state of Utah and then anything that deviates from that report 518 00:46:46,319 --> 00:46:50,800 is updated. So you know and and generally comes back before the 519 00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:54,000 commission. So if we have to do anything different than what we do, the 520 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,520 commission comes back before the commission to change it. 521 00:46:55,119 --> 00:46:57,839 » Got it. >> We've had to do that before. 522 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:01,280 » But that's kind of what Deborah was saying is that but if we don't have to 523 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:05,200 if it doesn't substantially change the work that's being proposed, then it can 524 00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:11,119 be done without that without the processes. So yeah. Um, and so that and 525 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:15,119 so I I would imagine that if if you kept a budget that had it in there as grant 526 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,920 money, so I guess that's the point. If you have the money in there as grant 527 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:20,880 money and that's the way that you approve it and that's the way the 528 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:24,000 commission approves it, then that's encumbered and then so going forward 529 00:47:22,319 --> 00:47:27,680 that would say grant money unless it came back. So I mean I think that's your 530 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:32,880 guys's issue is like yeah, do we want to specifically say this or do we want to 531 00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:36,240 give it more of a of a liberal thing? So I think that either either 532 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:40,480 » well given that the commission can override our recommendation if they're 533 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:48,000 like you know what money's tight we don't want disenccumbered they can just 534 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:53,599 say no and then that's it. And so um so I think if if we want to do grants if 535 00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:59,119 you really want to do grants we got to come up with some matching money and 536 00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:03,359 this is a start. So, um I mean I can make a motion to say I approve, but I 537 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:07,920 I'm really not clear on what we want to do. 538 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:12,800 » Well, let's was I I guess what is we keep saying transition is the idea that 539 00:48:09,839 --> 00:48:17,280 like the commission in the next year fully fund this and then use the grant 540 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,119 this grant. Is that what you guys are thinking? 541 00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:23,119 » I would re I am going to recommend that in this 2027 budget that we have a 542 00:48:21,359 --> 00:48:26,880 budget for economic development if we can. I hope so. I don't know where we'll 543 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:33,280 come out with the end of this year's finances, but I I um 544 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:37,680 I'm hoping to have a balanced budget as of July and then we have money at the 545 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:41,680 end of the year that we can create an economic development department probably 546 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:44,240 with more staff than just Melissa, you know, and I think grants are super 547 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,440 important because the grants bring us more money. So, you take that $35,000 548 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,800 and you get a whole bunch more money into it. I mean, it just it makes sense. 549 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:55,599 It would be silly to say we don't want to do that. I think um as any whether 550 00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:59,280 it's this board or the commission that just seems silly and it would be great 551 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:02,800 to have those kind of things built up and and it would be great to have 552 00:49:00,319 --> 00:49:06,400 economic development and then next year you guys would get to do all kinds of 553 00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:09,839 different things with you know um with the RCG money what what direction does 554 00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:13,440 the board want to go with recommendations next year and start 555 00:49:11,599 --> 00:49:16,160 coming with those you know and the RCOG I'm just giving you some ideas of what 556 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:21,440 I'm looking at and what we could possibly use for RCOG funds coming up as 557 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:24,480 well so I think that's important to think about. Yes, it's moment the 558 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:30,319 momentarily there's been some changes, but this board's seen a lot of those and 559 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:33,920 and I do hope to fund them with county money and not economic development grant 560 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:38,240 money. >> Well, it it sounds like from the vibe I 561 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:44,480 get from you, you're not worried about spending that 40 grand. So, like just 562 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:50,960 kind of like, you know, kind of go as is on it. I mean, that's what I would I 563 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:54,400 mean, move to approve this. Yeah. I mean that sucks, right? 564 00:49:54,039 --> 00:49:58,240 [laughter] >> Well, the thing is these grants come up. 565 00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:01,599 I mean, on the chamber, we worked on a lot of grants and they come up and they 566 00:49:59,599 --> 00:50:04,640 have deadlines and you're like, and then you're like, are we going to do this or 567 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:10,079 not? And how are we going to match it? And so having some funds set aside for 568 00:50:07,359 --> 00:50:13,760 that purpose is really important because then when you file the grant, you say, 569 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:18,559 we have the matching funds, which is a whole bunch easier than saying, we might 570 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:22,160 be able to get them. So, I I think it's important and I think there are grants. 571 00:50:20,319 --> 00:50:26,319 Some of them are torture, but some of them are really cool and and it's money 572 00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:29,599 the state is giving out for economic development and Grant County should get 573 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:33,440 it, but I think we need to start building it up. That's what I'm trying 574 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:36,319 to say. It's like it it needs to be compelling the grant we're going to use. 575 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:46,160 We want to make sure it's the right thing. Um, so anyway, I don't know. Uh, 576 00:50:43,359 --> 00:50:52,000 uh, it's up to you, Chris. So, well, let me just read you guys the additional 577 00:50:50,079 --> 00:50:54,640 language besides that. So, I it sounds to me like there's more or less a 578 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:59,280 consensus that we should put a budget in there. Sounds great. Let's do that. Um, 579 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:04,480 tagging it basically as Melissa presented. So, we would just put that 580 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:09,680 straight in a motion. Um, and then I would suggest 581 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:14,880 adding language something along the lines of the 2026 RCG. It's actually 582 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:18,119 2027. The FY2027 583 00:51:18,319 --> 00:51:23,440 RCG was earmarked for county economic development staffing and county economic 584 00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:28,160 development office budgetary needs in the fall of 2025 before the EOAB had the 585 00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:33,200 opportunity to offer a recommendation on the matter recognizing that 2026 the 586 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:38,559 economic opportunity advisory board recommends that for future grants the 587 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:43,200 county seek guidance from EOB EOAB before allocating RCG funding. 588 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:46,079 so that the OAB has the opportunity to complete its statutory responsibility to 589 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,839 recommend to the commission the use of RCG funds the board believes will best 590 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:55,119 create economic opportunity for the residents of Granite County. 591 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:57,760 » I don't know that that gets it Deborah. Does that 592 00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:02,400 » gets what? >> Well, okay. So, 593 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,640 » this isn't about the funding that that language is about. I'm talking about the 594 00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:07,119 motion. >> Yeah. 595 00:52:05,119 --> 00:52:12,480 » What my concern is >> is that this the the letter the 596 00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:16,079 recommendation that goes in the packet for the GOED application. 597 00:52:14,559 --> 00:52:21,119 » This wouldn't be this is for the commission that this I mean so 598 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,319 » we would make we're making a recommendation to the county commission. 599 00:52:23,359 --> 00:52:29,040 » Sure. >> Commission is then going to act on 600 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:33,040 » what you said was is that we didn't get to perform our statutory duty this time. 601 00:52:31,119 --> 00:52:35,760 We would like to perform it next time. >> We I did not say we didn't perform our 602 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,079 statuto duty. >> That was what they took out of the first 603 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,319 two sentences. >> Uh 604 00:52:38,559 --> 00:52:47,240 » doesn't matter, but I'm splitting the hairs to make sure that it hits the 605 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:47,240 statutory requirement for the grant. 606 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:52,800 » Listen to that. >> Well, I don't think this would end up in 607 00:52:51,359 --> 00:52:54,640 the application unless the commission wanted it to. That which wouldn't make 608 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:59,680 sense. >> Motion has to be uploaded in the portal. 609 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:03,200 » This isn't this is not what I'm suggesting. This is our recommendation, 610 00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:06,640 » right? But every motion this committee does has to be uploaded in the portal 611 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:09,280 that goes to the state. >> Funding the funding recommendation that 612 00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:12,800 you make, >> but there's two different things. 613 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:15,200 There's a recommendation to the commission. 614 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:19,119 » That's what we make. We make recommendations to the commission will 615 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:22,880 then take action on it. >> No, it's this board's recommendation 616 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,880 that has to be uploaded. >> Correct. 617 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:28,800 » Just like this board had to do a certification about the reporting for 618 00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:32,720 2026. We have to do that every single year. 619 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:38,160 That's the only reason why I want to be careful. So, for example, if this 620 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:42,160 » board wanted to write a whole letter to the commission and say, "Hey, here's 621 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:46,079 what we believe. This is how we believe the process can be improved and here's 622 00:53:43,839 --> 00:53:48,240 how we would like to see it go, whatever that split them into two 623 00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:52,000 recommendations, >> but the motion, the actual approval of 624 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:56,880 this." >> Yeah. So, we're we're making a re you're 625 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:59,280 making a recommendation that's about if we're going to have an economic 626 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:03,440 development department, we're going to have an economic development committee, 627 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:08,480 which right now's only purpose is to spend this grant. And if you're saying, 628 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:12,359 okay, hey, in the future, 629 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:19,280 um it's it's totally separate from we would run two motions. One to just fund 630 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:24,079 this budget, done and done, whatever. And then um the second motion would be 631 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:30,240 hey in the future we think this is important and the commission can ignore 632 00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:33,440 it or say sure or we can see what happens in the future. But 633 00:54:31,839 --> 00:54:37,200 » does that alleviate your concern if we split it into two recommendations? 634 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:42,000 » Sure. I just want to make sure with her because I know that that is the only 635 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:45,520 piece that needs to get uploaded is your motion and if you're saying hey we 636 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:48,559 didn't get to do it this time but we would really like to get to do it next 637 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:51,280 time. I don't think that would make it past compliance. 638 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:56,000 Does that make sense? >> But it depends on how you're funding it 639 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:59,040 in that sentence. So if we just pass a motion right now, let's let's pass the 640 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:03,359 budget. Let's do that first and then we could come back to this other motion and 641 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:07,440 then we could discuss totally wrong. That's why I'm hoping 642 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:10,800 that >> Deborah might. 643 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:14,800 » Yes. So there are several ways that you could do it and Chris I think has 644 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:19,359 drafted a few of these letters. It could be a letter from the board also saying 645 00:55:17,119 --> 00:55:26,160 that they participated and that they advised the commission and maybe that's 646 00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:32,720 where you typically put your motion. Um, you know, signed by the board chair 647 00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:36,960 or commission meeting minutes. I think you're you're good to proceed however 648 00:55:34,319 --> 00:55:39,440 you guys decide. >> Sounds like there's some flexibility in 649 00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:43,200 terms of how the stuff shows up in the application packet. Then 650 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:47,280 » it just comes from this board, not the commission. And if it makes it easier, 651 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:51,359 let's divide into two. So you can put the the single motion in the packet if 652 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:56,880 that makes it feel better. I think that's totally fine. Um okay. Well then 653 00:55:54,400 --> 00:56:03,119 let's do whoever would like to put forward a motion 654 00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:09,880 um on the budget on anyone want to jump in and make a recommendation for 655 00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:09,880 the board. 656 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,839 » I'm torn. >> Okay, I'll go ahead and make one. I can 657 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:20,880 just it's fine. Um I can still do that as chair on a small board. Um, so I 658 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:24,319 would move to recommend that the county commission uh to the county commission 659 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:30,480 that the remaining approximately $150,000 in 2026 rural county grant 660 00:56:27,359 --> 00:56:34,240 funding 2027, sorry, rural county grant funding 661 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:39,839 be dedicated to the staffing activities of county economic developments 662 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:48,079 uh of county economic development staff, including all of the items listed on the 663 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:48,079 budget on our screen totaling $150,000. 664 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:55,119 So are you is is the way you worded that are you sticking to these specific 665 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,480 numbers or are you giving more freedom? I 666 00:56:55,359 --> 00:57:00,160 » Yeah, it sounds like we wanted to stick to the numbers. That's what I'm 667 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,359 suggesting and then later figure it out. >> We approve this budget. 668 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:07,359 » Yep. >> Okay. I second. 669 00:57:03,599 --> 00:57:12,799 » All right. Any discussion on that? So let's just have a vote. Okay. All in 670 00:57:09,839 --> 00:57:16,720 favor of that motion to support this budget? I 671 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:22,240 » I >> Okay, it looks like it's unanimous 672 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:26,079 uh with the the folks in the room and on Zoom that are important members. So, 673 00:57:24,559 --> 00:57:30,559 that motion purposes >> that uh 674 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:34,319 satisfies the requirement of the grant and the motion that you can put in and 675 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:39,280 we're all good. Now, if we want to make another recommendation that is totally 676 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:42,000 separate about how we think these future things should go, 677 00:57:40,319 --> 00:57:44,960 » just a statement about >> Yeah, it's a it's just a statement about 678 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,720 the process. >> And I suggest keeping it simple. I mean, 679 00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:52,640 I have a lot of feelings that you do actually about sort of like big picture, 680 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:55,599 the role of this board and stuff. I just think that that's like a little bit 681 00:57:53,839 --> 00:57:57,760 we've kind of gotten in a fire about some of I I don't think we should go 682 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:03,040 there because >> um but I do think that just like trying 683 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:07,359 to line up how this fits into the budgeting process would be great to I 684 00:58:06,319 --> 00:58:11,119 think it would be helpful to make recommendations. 685 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:16,799 » Well, the thing is the hope is that it doesn't fit into the budgeting process. 686 00:58:14,319 --> 00:58:20,319 Meaning in the in our dream world, there's a budget for the economic 687 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:25,440 development department and there's the grant money and we get to spend it like 688 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:31,520 we have in the past or some way like that, right? And so there this whole 689 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:35,119 situation doesn't happen where we're told, hey, the county is going to need 690 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:39,359 this money, so we're keeping it. So now you're not doing the grant process. Like 691 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:44,960 we hope that that doesn't happen again. And maybe and if it does if it starts to 692 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:49,119 look like that then we could raise our hand and say well hey can we get work 693 00:58:46,559 --> 00:58:55,359 can we work on this in advance or something like that. So I it doesn't 694 00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:57,750 feel like it's enough of a um [clears throat] 695 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:04,000 I just don't I mean hopefully this isn't going to happen again and if it is maybe 696 00:59:02,559 --> 00:59:06,960 we'll have enough of a heads up to say hey can we go ahead and approve these 697 00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:11,440 things in advance. But I mean, even if the even if the the 698 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:16,400 department is funded and that's separate, you could still see future 699 00:59:14,079 --> 00:59:20,559 world in which the budgeting process starts to make recommendations on how 700 00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:22,319 the grant money should be spent. There's precedent for it. They just did it. 701 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:26,960 » Yeah. >> Right. And so, you know, I I think the 702 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:30,640 » recommendation I think our board should recommend that that's not how it's not 703 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:37,319 the best way to to to manage this, >> right? But since I think I'm pretty sure 704 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,319 that um 705 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:46,720 since this money the county has the final say on this money and so I don't 706 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:51,040 think I just don't I don't I don't know I don't think it 707 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:54,400 » but then it should be exactly that. It should be the final say, right? That's 708 00:59:52,559 --> 00:59:58,640 how it's supposed to work, not the initial recommendation. Well, so what so 709 00:59:56,559 --> 01:00:03,520 you would say, "Hey, we recommend that you uh give us the opportunity to weigh 710 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:07,040 in on >> future grant cycles. The county seek 711 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:11,119 guidance from the EOAB before allocating RCG funding." 712 01:00:09,359 --> 01:00:17,119 » I don't like that because I don't think it's what you really want. 713 01:00:13,839 --> 01:00:22,480 » If I if I'm listening to you and I'm listening to all of you, 714 01:00:20,319 --> 01:00:27,440 it's two separate things. One is how the process worked, which I think was 715 01:00:24,799 --> 01:00:30,720 miserable for everyone, right? Which is, hey, let's make a recommendation about 716 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:36,000 how we spend it. We don't get to spend it on whatever. But then there's also 717 01:00:33,119 --> 01:00:40,799 what you allocate the funds to. And what I'm hearing more from you guys is, look, 718 01:00:38,319 --> 01:00:46,480 we have a preference that RCG funding not be used for county staff and 719 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:49,839 funding. We would prefer that those things be separate. 720 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:54,480 » I think that's a Does that make sense? I think that's true. I think that they're 721 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:58,640 two separate things. So, one is the process. 722 01:00:56,319 --> 01:01:02,960 » The other one is to just say, "Hey, as a board, we would like to recommend to the 723 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:06,559 commission that rule county grant funds not be used to fund staff and economic 724 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:09,839 development departments." >> Okay. Well, that's a separate suggestion 725 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:12,880 and I think it's one that could be considered because I think it's a pretty 726 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:17,280 good one, but I don't think that that has any shows any negatives as to why we 727 01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:21,520 shouldn't consider something about the process 728 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:25,599 » because the process could have been the same. Meaning, you guys could have done 729 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:29,920 this too, right? You could have said, "We have $150,000 left after whatever 730 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,359 and here's how we would like to spend it, 731 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,760 » right? But we didn't have that opportunity." 732 01:01:32,559 --> 01:01:39,040 » That's why we're doing it. We're doing it after the fact right now. Well, she's 733 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:44,160 saying she's saying when we planned when we agreed to the 50,000 for the airport, 734 01:01:41,839 --> 01:01:47,520 we could have at that very meeting or at the next meeting, we could have said 735 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,839 we're going to go ahead and budget the rest of the money and 736 01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:53,200 » it had already been budgeted. >> Yes. 737 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:57,599 » Yeah. >> Yes. Yeah. 738 01:01:55,200 --> 01:02:00,960 » Fall of 2025 is when the budgeting process happened, 739 01:01:58,799 --> 01:02:06,000 » right? But what I kept saying before this allocated the funding for spend but 740 01:02:04,319 --> 01:02:10,480 you're the difference is you're talking about the specifics of how to spend the 741 01:02:07,839 --> 01:02:13,119 other 150. You're talking about the fact that 742 01:02:11,119 --> 01:02:18,400 » we were already told how to spend 150. We're we're giving minor recommendations 743 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:22,160 on within we already know because we were told by the commission that it's 744 01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:25,040 going to the economic development department or staff, right? We were told 745 01:02:24,319 --> 01:02:28,319 that. >> We didn't make that decision. That's 746 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:31,680 true. Now we're like, now we're trying to fulfill our role 747 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:35,599 » because we didn't have the opportunity to do a proper way. 748 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:39,880 » We were never asked, do you think this could go to pay for the economic 749 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,880 development? 750 01:02:46,319 --> 01:02:52,400 » But before the air, I mean, we were told that in 2025. The airport thing then 751 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:55,280 came up in early 2026, >> but we were told in 2025 that we weren't 752 01:02:54,400 --> 01:03:00,000 going to be able to run the >> and we were also told in 2025 that the 753 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:04,400 reason for that was because there was a severe bud budget shortfall and there 754 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:08,880 sort of within that you can understand that that what that implies that 755 01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:14,960 » this is an exceptional year. >> Yeah. And I'm just trying to codify this 756 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:20,640 idea that that should be a one-time thing where this is an exceptional year 757 01:03:17,039 --> 01:03:23,680 and we weren't fully consulted on how to spend the money and so now we're doing 758 01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:27,520 it after the fact. >> Well, I think it's their prerogative to 759 01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:32,240 boss this basically the way this the bylaws of this committee right now. I 760 01:03:29,839 --> 01:03:36,400 don't know that we have the I mean we would say in the perfect world they 761 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:40,079 would have said hey we would like we're going to need your money. would you be 762 01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,960 willing to give it to us? And we could have debated it and said, "Sounds like 763 01:03:41,599 --> 01:03:45,520 you really need it. Here it is." And then we would have felt the carts and 764 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,960 horses would have been in the right order. 765 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,119 » That's the way it's supposed to work. That's 766 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:52,880 » And last year And last year you guys were more than willing to fund the 767 01:03:51,039 --> 01:03:57,280 economic development department because you wanted staff and then this year 768 01:03:54,640 --> 01:04:02,319 you're super angry about it. So I mean we're angry. We're just [laughter] we're 769 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:05,359 having a conversation about process that that 770 01:04:03,599 --> 01:04:08,240 » this board advocated for there to be an economic development staff. We didn't 771 01:04:07,039 --> 01:04:11,359 have any we never made any recommendation on how to fund it idea 772 01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:16,160 which was >> last year when we were looking at like 773 01:04:13,599 --> 01:04:20,799 the $200,000 and we didn't have staff. We talked about like do we do we use 774 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:25,119 some of that money for you know you and I sat down and talked about it and I and 775 01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:27,920 I said no we shouldn't because we've already sent all this money out you know 776 01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:30,720 we've already sent all these have all these grant applicants like and then 777 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:34,240 we're going to pull back money and >> so no we talked Yeah. We talked about 778 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:37,280 doing it for that you you talked about doing it based on this year's grant 779 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:39,440 cycle which is and then that's what happened 780 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:42,640 » and yeah last year cuz I'm like we already sent all of these grants out 781 01:04:41,039 --> 01:04:45,520 that would look really crappy as for the county to say oh never mind we're not 782 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,559 going to give any of you these grants totally we're going to pay for staff 783 01:04:47,839 --> 01:04:52,640 » I agree with >> and so we used money accounting money to 784 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:55,920 hire Melissa but this year we had no county money to hire Melissa and this 785 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,960 year we didn't send out grants to everybody saying hey you want to use 786 01:04:57,039 --> 01:05:02,319 some of this money and then pull it back from them either so yeah last year 787 01:05:00,559 --> 01:05:06,400 whenever I was there. I was like, "Yeah, we probably shouldn't pay any money out 788 01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:09,440 of economic development because we have all these grants out there." I wouldn't 789 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:13,280 have recommended it. I thought it would have looked bad to do that last year 790 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:16,079 with all those all of those grant applicants. 791 01:05:14,079 --> 01:05:20,319 » Yeah. Last year, we were suggested by the commission that we should run a 792 01:05:17,839 --> 01:05:22,319 grant program for small businesses in our community and that's what we did. 793 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:26,240 » Yeah. >> Right. But in that in that case there 794 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:30,480 was some feedback given by the commission and then the board acted on 795 01:05:28,319 --> 01:05:35,680 that feedback you know but also contributing our own ideas to how grant 796 01:05:32,799 --> 01:05:38,799 cycles could be run and then we made a recommendation and then the commission 797 01:05:37,119 --> 01:05:41,440 approved it right that that was like kind of a normal 798 01:05:39,839 --> 01:05:44,480 » you guys could have still and just like to Melissa's point you could have still 799 01:05:43,119 --> 01:05:48,720 even though I told you that it was put in the budget because I'm open and 800 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:53,680 transparent and it happened last meeting in December that was chosen so not like 801 01:05:51,039 --> 01:05:57,359 fall of 2020 25, but it was also it was chosen to use that for there. But you 802 01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,440 guys could have still said we still we're going to put in a different 803 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,160 recommendation. >> Yeah. 804 01:05:59,839 --> 01:06:04,480 » But I mean at that point it would have I mean 805 01:06:03,119 --> 01:06:07,280 » at that point it would be a lot of work to put in a different recommendation and 806 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,319 still have the commission go back and say no. 807 01:06:07,839 --> 01:06:10,960 » Exactly. >> But that's it is one year. It is a 808 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:14,240 one-year thing. >> Totally hopefully that we'll do it in 809 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:18,319 the future. So I mean I think part of you if you want to have that frustration 810 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:21,440 to the whole commission not just to me. >> No it's just it's not about a 811 01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:24,319 frustration. It's really just about communication, 812 01:06:22,559 --> 01:06:28,000 » right? It's because we we've had these conversations, right? You're you're here 813 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:32,559 and we have these conversations. We don't have conversations like this about 814 01:06:30,319 --> 01:06:37,839 the process with other commissioners, but we had that workshop last year about 815 01:06:35,359 --> 01:06:40,480 the RCG and RCG with the commissioners. And that was, you know, that's great. 816 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:47,280 That was like a learning process for everybody. But I there, you know, in the 817 01:06:43,599 --> 01:06:52,000 same way that you all use the you all use the passage of changing bylaws as a 818 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,960 way to communicate to us, like our way that we can officially communicate back 819 01:06:53,359 --> 01:06:58,480 to you, not just you individually, but the commission is through 820 01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:03,680 recommendations, right? And so it's not that I'm not I'm not, you know, mad 821 01:07:01,039 --> 01:07:07,359 about it, but I do think that we didn't get the process right this time or let's 822 01:07:05,839 --> 01:07:11,440 just say there were exceptional circumstances that require that the 823 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:14,880 process, you know, the timeline of the process change, but let's not codify 824 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,359 that, you know. >> Yeah, I don't think we should Yeah, I 825 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:20,720 don't think it should be going forward. I agree. I'm fine with your letter. I 826 01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:24,880 was letting you know that it was like it was definitely conversation. I think you 827 01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:28,319 that there's a lot of conversation and this is the whole reason that I brought 828 01:07:26,079 --> 01:07:32,000 the bylaws back to what the state code has is because I think that you guys can 829 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:36,799 accomplish things that you spend a lot of time talking, you know, talking 830 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:40,880 about, but I and not and not moving forward with it. You know, I think you 831 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:44,960 guys need to be bringing ideas to to what you want to see with this money, 832 01:07:43,359 --> 01:07:48,799 but then you feel like your hands are tied because we already spent the money. 833 01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:53,119 So, I mean, but we have next year. He's saying that he he's just saying that 834 01:07:51,359 --> 01:07:58,079 like we spend a lot of time trying trying to comply with the law and the 835 01:07:55,359 --> 01:08:01,599 regulations and the whole situation and it feels like when you're approving 836 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:06,000 things afterwards you're not really on top of that. I think that's the main 837 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:10,640 thing point that you're making. But I I I don't I think we have bigger fish to 838 01:08:08,319 --> 01:08:17,600 fry honestly. Um, I mean I agree with you, but I just 839 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:24,640 think like really I mean in your 10 priorities nine 10 840 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:29,839 whatever 10 you know you've got two that really relate to economic development 841 01:08:26,799 --> 01:08:35,679 and if you if there's going to be money spent and we have staff and we're doing 842 01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:39,920 things that are aimed at winning in economic development and moving the 843 01:08:37,440 --> 01:08:45,120 needle and actually improving wages and all of the many challenges 844 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:49,759 that our community has. That is a very heavy lift and a very big deal. And 845 01:08:47,199 --> 01:08:54,640 government, it's free market society. So government has very few levers to pull. 846 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:58,799 And when they do pull those levers, they need to be really careful about 847 01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:04,319 unintended consequences and you know, are we doing the right thing and all of 848 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:12,239 these things. And so like I just feel like that that work of 849 01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:16,000 for example the orthopedic center or just as one of the ideas that's out 850 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:19,839 there, you know, if that is going to be something we use our $40,000 to get a 851 01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:23,839 grant for to try to plan for or something or the golf course or any of 852 01:09:22,159 --> 01:09:31,199 the projects that have been brought up that are aimed at improving economic 853 01:09:27,199 --> 01:09:34,480 development. I think that there's there's a lot out there and there are a 854 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:39,199 lot of communities doing really effective work in this space and we 855 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:43,040 should be looking to see what they are and understanding them and figuring out 856 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:48,400 the ones that might work for us. We don't have to reinvent the wheel every 857 01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:51,600 time. But either way, we we just like we do have kids going to school hungry in 858 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:56,080 Grin County. We do have people sticking in their cars. We do have a big service 859 01:09:53,839 --> 01:10:04,000 industry that's not getting paid enough. We have um you know we have these 860 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:07,600 challenges and how so if we if this board is ever going to have the 861 01:10:05,440 --> 01:10:12,800 opportunity or get to work on really moving the needle on those challenges 862 01:10:10,159 --> 01:10:15,840 what what does that look like and right now we aren't 863 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:20,800 » what it looks like is there is there being pathways for a consultation right 864 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:23,840 I mean looks like an advisory board being an advisory board 865 01:10:22,239 --> 01:10:27,520 » right but we aren't in that space right now this commission's made it very clear 866 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:34,000 to us that we are not in that space. And so I just think we got to carry on and 867 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:40,320 think about it. I mean there there's a I I applaud your um priorities and I think 868 01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:47,040 they're great. Now how do we you know put the meat on the bones? And so um and 869 01:10:44,480 --> 01:10:52,000 I think there's so many communities around the west trying to be us trying 870 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:56,880 to get some of the money that we get that comes to us. They want our 871 01:10:54,320 --> 01:11:02,000 customers and so what do we do about that? Do how do we maintain our market 872 01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:05,920 share? Diversify if we can in a real meaningful way which which of these 873 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:10,960 diversification ideas are actually going to move the needle as opposed to be sort 874 01:11:08,159 --> 01:11:14,320 of a wrong turn that we look back and go well that didn't work. Like we don't 875 01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:21,840 want that. We want to do things that are going to matter. So, 876 01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:27,760 um those are the bigger issues that like I was in, uh the press the other day and 877 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:31,600 um I was talking to someone and they mentioned a union for guides and I was 878 01:11:30,239 --> 01:11:37,120 like, "Wow, not even sure that's going to work." And someone started screaming 879 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:41,600 at me. I mean, like things are rough out there to talk about like what does that 880 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,920 mean? like this is and we ended up having a great conversation about it, 881 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,640 but like >> it looks like it's 882 01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:51,360 » there's a lot to there's a lot that we can fix and our committee is trying to 883 01:11:48,719 --> 01:11:56,719 find a way to be useful and positive and productive and help achieve your goals. 884 01:11:53,920 --> 01:12:01,760 » Okay. So, anyone else want to jump in on this? I'm fine leaving it if we just 885 01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:07,239 want to move on to another topic, but we haven't heard from folks around the 886 01:12:04,239 --> 01:12:07,239 table. 887 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:16,800 Okay. I I guess the you know Melody's kind of talking about like yeah we will 888 01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:22,800 fund it through normal budget next year and obviously you guys think it's 889 01:12:18,719 --> 01:12:26,400 important so put money towards it put important so I don't know just hearing 890 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:30,880 kind of Melody's feedback sounds like we're kind of moving in that direction. 891 01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:37,120 I don't know if do you want do you feel like other commissioners need to hear 892 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:41,199 our our echoes of that sentiment like be like oh yeah put this in the budget it's 893 01:12:39,199 --> 01:12:44,400 important guys you know >> I think that you guys can do whatever 894 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:49,360 you want I think if you want to write a letter to the commission on behalf of 895 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:53,199 the board I think that's a I think it's good because like you said I'm the one 896 01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:56,640 that that hears you I mean I can take those concerns back to the commissioners 897 01:12:55,280 --> 01:13:03,520 but it's different when it comes from from you than me you know and I don't 898 01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:07,120 I have a pretty good poll of what's going on with the commissioners. I think 899 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:10,000 that they all value economic development as well. So, I don't think that we're 900 01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,480 going to have I think that when we look at a budget and and if we have 901 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:15,440 shortfalls for next year, it's going to be rough budgeting season. I'm not going 902 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:20,560 to say it's going to be rough budgeting season again. Like we have a we've had 903 01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:24,480 four years of downturn economy and we didn't slow down our spending. So, we 904 01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:28,800 our expenditures of the county were up and our revenues were down and so we're 905 01:13:27,199 --> 01:13:33,440 still at that level. we've come up a little bit, but it's not like that much. 906 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:37,760 So, so definitely looking at balancing the staff and stuff is is challenging. 907 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:40,800 It's super challenging and and what are our priorities? My priorities are 908 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:44,159 definitely economic development. I mean, in every one of my boards, like I look 909 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:48,800 at like every I'm doing economic development in all of the boards I'm in, 910 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:53,520 not just the economic development board, you know, and so it's obviously a huge 911 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:56,880 priority to me and and hopefully to the other commissioners, you know, and I 912 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:59,760 know I'm going to have push back because increase I already have push back on 913 01:13:58,480 --> 01:14:03,679 increase of taxes for the healthcare tax, but that's going to create things 914 01:14:01,440 --> 01:14:07,679 that we need in our economy for our seniors, you know, and the same as as a 915 01:14:06,239 --> 01:14:11,520 public safety comp or the county complex, you know, it's going to it but 916 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:15,600 it, you know, takes revenue. >> Well, that that's the point is that if 917 01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:20,480 if we come up with economic development spends, we're going to spend taxpayer 918 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:24,719 money on economic development and that thing and and the project, whatever it 919 01:14:22,480 --> 01:14:29,600 is, is broadly supported by a diverse group of citizens who are have some 920 01:14:26,719 --> 01:14:35,199 expertise on it. That's helping you and that's how it's supposed to work. 921 01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:40,159 » Yeah. And so that's why I think you know I my hope is that in future this role 922 01:14:38,239 --> 01:14:46,080 this committee could expand and we could be more helpful on actually delivering 923 01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:49,840 on these on these priorities. I mean it takes a lot of people to move the 924 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:52,080 needle. Yeah. And that's why I I mean that's why I'm sharing these things with 925 01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,880 you because >> you know you can't just work in this 926 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,920 group I think and that's what I saw in the beginning when I first came. It's 927 01:14:56,320 --> 01:15:01,199 like you kind of work within this group when there's a lot of other groups doing 928 01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:04,320 things, you know, like that all how do we bring all of those groups together in 929 01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:07,600 the community? The airport, because yes, we have the airport that's doing 930 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:11,360 economic development. We have the car, you know, this group and this group, all 931 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:14,560 these different economic pieces that are working together. So, it's not just like 932 01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:17,600 only this specific board. >> Sure. 933 01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:22,400 » That's something could be doing. There's a lot of ways to 934 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:26,880 to build the coordination and input and have open stakeholder meetings where 935 01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:31,679 people get to, you know, talk about ideas and, you know, some of them get 936 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:37,960 like, well, that's not realistic and some are good. I mean there's a lot of 937 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:37,960 ways to do it and um 938 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:46,159 » anyway we just are you looking for Chris like hey we recommend in the next 939 01:15:43,199 --> 01:15:48,560 budgeting season try to budget >> like do we want to approve something 940 01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:52,239 like that or >> I mean it's a we well we don't need to 941 01:15:50,719 --> 01:15:57,520 do anything more than what we've done what we've done we checked the box that 942 01:15:54,880 --> 01:16:01,040 we needed to check um yeah it's more if this board wants to 943 01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:05,679 » create a statement that they're offering to the commission I I kind of would like 944 01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:09,760 that, you know, kind of gives Malady like little 945 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:15,760 » You mean one on this second topic which is which is really reasonable which is 946 01:16:12,719 --> 01:16:20,000 » that economic development that RCG should be used for I don't know 947 01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:26,320 how you say it basically that the the county should fund economic development 948 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:29,600 » an economic development office. Uh, >> yeah. I don't know. 949 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:34,080 » I mean, I guess I'd move to do that. >> The county should 950 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:36,719 » Yeah. Do we move to make a letter? >> So, you guys don't have that as an 951 01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:39,679 action item on anything right now, but you could put it on for next. I It's 952 01:16:38,239 --> 01:16:43,199 kind of a discussion right now. And then you could put it on so we all those 953 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:47,840 thoughts come for next meeting with just a you know, to approve a letter 954 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:51,040 » and maybe Chris could have been share it with all of you board members in a 955 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:54,800 Google doc and you guys could not have to spend hours talking about it. have, 956 01:16:53,199 --> 01:16:58,080 you know, sign on and vote on or whatever, you know, at next meeting 957 01:16:56,239 --> 01:17:02,239 because we won't start our budget season until um we got a couple more months 958 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,239 until we're going to really get into budget season. So, it's not something 959 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:07,520 that you need to do today. >> The advisory boards were is that 960 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:10,880 correct? Have they started? >> Um our budget 961 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:14,560 » board, but whatever. >> No. So, they we had our budget a budget 962 01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:19,120 advisory board scheduled for this week. It got cancelled. Okay. And so, I mean, 963 01:17:16,480 --> 01:17:20,560 we just for sort of beginning of the project. 964 01:17:19,440 --> 01:17:23,520 » Yeah. And so, we're looking at like mid August now. I just got an email about 965 01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:27,440 that. So, mid August is a budget advisory board. I mean, there's an open 966 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:33,679 position on that, too. Just FYI, there's an open position on budget for um a 967 01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:37,600 citizen. So, I don't know if those you can go online and and sign up for those 968 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:41,199 that I think that's what our order of business will be in that August is 969 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:46,800 picking those two um empty spots and then just kind of over overarching um 970 01:17:45,440 --> 01:17:50,320 stuff and then it will start doing individual departments. 971 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:55,120 » Sure. Uh, okay. Well, if that case, it'll be 972 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:58,480 up to Britney to I mean, we can pass on some information from this meeting to 973 01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:03,280 Britney. It'll be up to her over whether that shows up on the agenda next time. 974 01:18:00,480 --> 01:18:11,679 Uh, presuming that she'll be here during the meeting. Uh, okay. So, we skipped 975 01:18:08,239 --> 01:18:16,000 over any presentation from Melissa. Is there other anything else that you 976 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:20,640 wanted to present on? just the information for the other 977 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:26,320 projects and that the August 18th meeting would probably be a really great 978 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:31,199 meeting to come to that workshop. >> Um and then yeah, Melody shared with us 979 01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:34,159 to everybody's email I think. >> Yeah, I had the priority statement so 980 01:18:32,480 --> 01:18:39,360 you guys awesome. >> Got it. And um 981 01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:44,239 » and really yeah, just really good thing for the county to have. I really 982 01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:46,719 appreciate that. Um it does help provide us with context for where we could be 983 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:50,560 useful. >> Yeah, I think it provides everyone with 984 01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:55,600 I mean it even keeps us on track, you know, I think that we just everyone in 985 01:18:53,440 --> 01:19:00,000 every meeting tends to sway if we don't have like priorities to to move along, 986 01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:03,760 you know, and to and and to check back. And that's something that like Melissa 987 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:07,360 with the dashboards, you know, as we as we say, you know, what do we want to 988 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:10,080 accomplish with these goals? She's a she'll be able to put them. So if you 989 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:13,280 look at like Salt Lake City has a dashboard that say these are our goals 990 01:19:11,679 --> 01:19:16,560 and then they're like red, yellow, green, you know, how well are we doing 991 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,560 to our goals and so the community can see 992 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:22,239 » like >> Yeah. Right. Yeah. Like the housing task 993 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:25,520 force dashboard. So I think those are important and there's if there's simple 994 01:19:23,679 --> 01:19:28,719 visuals for our community to see that yes, we have goals 995 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:34,080 » and are we accomplishing those those goals, you know, and that's and that's 996 01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:38,800 really important to me. So >> uh okay. Well, let's, you know, that can 997 01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:42,239 be if there's people I see you digest it if we have questions.
