of America and to the republic for which
[0:26] it stands. One nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice
[0:32] for all.
>> Father God, we thank you for all
[0:36] everything that you give us and bestow

[0:54] » Amen.
>> Thank you, K.
[0:57] Okay.
[1:01] Okay. The consent agenda is on the board
and I say Jeff on on the two-year hire
[1:06] and they're replacing people. It's gone.
>> Yes.
[1:10] » Okay.
>> I make a motion we accept the consent
[1:14] agenda.
>> I'll second that. Any questions?
[1:19] » All in favor? I
>> I
[1:22] Okay, moving on.
[1:29] Yeah.
>> Okay. On on the website, we kind of uh
[1:34] uh took this under adisement last week
because we didn't have the prices, but
[1:38] the prices on that are 10,000.
>> We aren't going to talk price because
[1:42] it's an RFP.
>> Oh, okay. So, they're going to I I'm
[1:46] going to make a motion that we accept
the RFP for the to Moss Media for the
[1:51] website and we don't talk prices in that
because when we take the RFP then
[1:56] they'll bid that out later on. So,
>> no, you've already done the RFP.
[2:00] » Yeah, we've already accept
awarding
[2:04] » $10,745
setup and $375.
[2:09] » I'm sorry.
>> We're wanting to award
[2:11] » I'm going to catch up on email.
>> Thank you. I'm sorry. Carrie. Yeah,
[2:14] Carrie, you're writing.
>> We've already done it. Yeah.
[2:18] » So, uh, I'm going to make a motion that
we approve the award for the RFP for the
[2:23] website Moss Media. $10,745
and setup and 375 and this was budgeted
[2:33] » out of it.
>> Thank you, buddy. I'm going to second
[2:36] that.
>> Okay. Any questions?
[2:38] » Yeah, I want to make a comment on on
this this our website. We started it u I
[2:44] don't know if it started before 8, but
it was pathetic when we
[2:47] » got here. We took money out out of our
department's budget because we had a
[2:50] little money to get it started and it
was a nice first effort, but there
[2:54] hasn't been anything brought up to date
in that last eight years. This should
[2:58] bring it up. So, which makes it easier
for the people that want to get on
[3:02] because people talk about uh
transparency. Every expense is on there.
[3:07] every uh minutes from every meeting for
the past I think it's 15 years is now on
[3:12] there there lots and lots of information
and it needs to be easier to get to and
[3:18] when when election times come and people
want to get up a s sample ballot it
[3:22] should be easier for them to go to that
directly and pull it up rather than have
[3:26] them come to our office and get get a
sample we're happy to give it to them
[3:29] but we needed to be more user friendly
uh especially for some of our seniors I
[3:34] know and he did a great job working with
the elections to try I get the word out.
[3:38] So, uh,
>> this helps your office. It actually you
[3:41] can go on there and the calls you get,
it's already on there so they can pick
[3:45] it up.
>> And a lot of them are like that and if
[3:48] you know somebody wants to see something
in the budget, the it's all on there and
[3:52] it's has been for a few years. Um, it's
helped us with some of the sunshine
[3:56] requests because people say, "Well, we
need to know when this was passed."
[4:00] Well, it's
it you you said it was passed in in
[4:05] whatever 2024.
[clears throat] So, you can look up the
[4:10] minutes and see what was patched just as
well soon as as we paying somebody here
[4:14] to look up those same minutes. So, uh it
hopefully the result will make it a lot
[4:18] more user friendly, easier to get
results for election, easier to find out
[4:22] if something was bid on or expens
expense was made or anything like that.
[4:28] » It's just making our system better. Yes,
abs.
[4:30] » Absolutely. Most people are are looking
at stuff first on the internet to now to
[4:36] to get their answers. So,
>> and if you guys have noticed, Chris has
[4:40] already done some things to it that
>> it's a lot faster. I don't know if you
[4:44] guys noticed that, but I have uh getting
on the website and using it. It's It's a
[4:49] lot faster. And just the little stuff
he's done, just things with this.
[4:51] » Well, this this is just one thing we're
doing really with the county to help
[4:55] update in the future the way the county
is going to operate. So it it helps us
[4:59] out. Any other questions?
>> All in favor?
[5:03] » I
>> I
[5:04] » Okay.
[5:08] Okay. This is permission to purchase it.
It's not a mower. It's a mower part.
[5:13] Brian talked about it last week. We had
a mower that had an arm broke on it. We
[5:17] had to We had to uh soul source this to
>> and it come out of a what? A northern
[5:24] state.
>> South Dakota.
[5:26] » Yeah. And uh I'm I'm going to make a
motion for permission to purchase the
[5:31] mower part so we can get the mower
going, finish uh finish the job.
[5:39] » Price on that.
>> Uh I'd say the actual price of the part
[5:43] $2,459.
I would say I don't know what the
[5:48] shipping's going to be from South
Dakota. I'd say not to exceed 3,800
[5:54] because I don't know what cost. You
never know what the shipping's going to
[5:57] be for a part. And it's a it's a good
size part. So,
[6:01] » yeah,
>> we want to make this when we make this
[6:04] uh on there, just put not more than so
much.
[6:08] » I make a motion to purchase the part not
to exceed $3,800
[6:14] from the soul source side.
>> I will second that.
[6:20] » Any questions?
>> Yes, I do.
[6:22] » Okay.
Why wouldn't this come out of their
[6:25] normal maintenance budget
>> and and why would we why would a vote
[6:31] have to be taken for a part like this?
Well, Rich, we tried to duplicate it and
[6:38] we we couldn't. We we tried to make it
oursel to say but he took it off. We
[6:43] just the inside of it built so strong we
could not. And we're getting behind on
[6:49] mowing down in the south end, right? I
think the question might be is is uh is
[6:55] » how are we paying for this department?
>> It's coming out my budget just the way
[7:00] we
>> purchase. So legally we could have just
[7:02] bought the part. It it's an expensive
part but they thought they better do it
[7:07] outright since it was just a sole source
one person. We weren't shopping around
[7:12] because they're the only one that had
the arm. Uh so that was but legally
[7:16] you're right. We could have just taken
out of his money and went on.
[7:19] » My thing was just I couldn't go to
who manufactured this diamond. They
[7:24] wouldn't sell it to me.
>> No, understood.
[7:26] » It has to go to John Deere, then I have
to buy it from
[7:28] » the points. Understood.
>> So, it's just it's a soul source.
[7:32] » That answer your question, Rick?
>> Thank you.
[7:34] » Okay.
>> Okay. Any other questions? All in favor?
[7:39] » I I
[7:43] Okay. Permission to hire a new employee
collector. I know, Angie. What this is,
[7:48] we have a gal that's on disability,
right?
[7:52] » She's been out on
>> She's been out two years.
[7:55] » Been out a year, but the accident
>> the accident happened two years ago.
[8:01] » She is definitely informed you she's not
coming back. Now, normally we probably
[8:07] would not do this until it was
completely gone, but you're needing to
[8:10] get somebody in and train. season is
coming and we will be missing a person
[8:14] like we did last year and it really put
the office and the taxpayers
[8:19] » well we we normally we've been against
doing this but we know you got to train
[8:23] them you you're you're actually fill on
a window when the taxpayers come in so
[8:28] uh I'm going to make a motion I know we
normally don't do this I I think you're
[8:33] in a situation uh to hire the new
employee for the collector to fill the
[8:39] slot
uh for actually help public than the
[8:43] taxpayer
>> because otherwise we'll have to close
[8:45] the window again and taxpayers were not
happy last year because we were missing
[8:50] a person up there to wait on them.
>> Yes.
[8:52] » Amen.
>> I second.
[8:54] » Okay. Is there any questions?
Okay. All in favor?
[9:00] » I I All right. Moving on. Okay. This is
another one here. This is actually
[9:07] the end of our ARPA money, right,
Bridget? This is it. And what we did, we
[9:12] went ahead out out and and he's got a
disc harl grapple bucket, augur, stump
[9:18] grinder for a total of 32,417.
That pretty well spends all of our offer
[9:24] money. Yep.
>> Now, the reason we do this, we got two
[9:26] guys out there. No labor. The equipment
we have is really efficient with two
[9:32] guys. They can do their job. uh they do
do the labor, but uh I'm going to make a
[9:40] motion that we approve the purchase,
reimburse remaining ARPA money funds,
[9:44] and the total is 32,41787.
[9:50] » I'm going to second that.
>> Any questions?
[9:52] » When did that ARCA money have to be
spent by?
[9:54] » End of the month.
>> Yep. End of this month.
[9:57] » We've looked at something that would fit
the thing and and could use the money
[10:00] before the end of the month. And if you
actually go out and walk the park,
[10:04] you're starting to see now where they
planted. They've got their fields, the
[10:08] uh uh I forgot what they told me they
call it for the wildlife. It's natural
[10:15] grasses. Uh they've eradicated a lot of
cedars. And if you started at the first
[10:20] of the parking lot watch and you go out
there now and you can see it all opening
[10:24] up and the equipment they run like any
other job when you got good equipment
[10:30] you don't need all them people working
they can actually do it by theirel uh
[10:35] you know equipment don't come and argue
with you if you just hook it up and work
[10:39] it. So you know it's actually a good
thing you don't have to argue with
[10:43] somebody about what you're doing.
I agree with it and them guys are doing
[10:48] a good job. Rich,
>> uh, I'd just like to comment that it was
[10:52] very fortunate we've got these funds to
work with.
[10:56] » Yes,
>> I know other other local are fortunate
[10:59] making use of this money and uh, appears
to me you put it to good use. And not
[11:05] only this, I mean, I'm for there's some
of this stuff that Roen Bridge, we can
[11:11] function when they have an issue, they
can go over and get this equipment and
[11:16] and it makes the job. So, anytime you're
out there on a job and you have
[11:20] equipment, you're saving money because
the equipment works hard and you don't
[11:25] have to have all that labor out there.
So, this is a road and bridge. if they
[11:30] need stump grinder, we've got uh uh
stuff that we can use that we can swap
[11:36] around and it actually helps on the job.
So
[11:39] » to your point though, a lot of entities
spent money on things that are going to
[11:44] be a continuous expense,
>> and they did a pretty good job of
[11:48] looking at one-time expenditures that
needed to be done and use the federal
[11:52] money appropriately, not creating a a
monster that has to be fed now, you
[11:58] know, and no money to feed it. That's
going to be happening a lot. You're
[12:02] going to hear cuts all over the state
and and that didn't happen. So,
[12:06] » one thing that really tickles me about
the arbit money when I first come in, I
[12:12] know you toured the jail.
>> The jail was like a dungeon.
[12:19] » You go out there now, it's like school.
I mean, Jeff and them, I mean, it's
[12:23] painted, it's up to date, and and
believe me, that money was spelt well,
[12:29] spent well, and then, you know, we took
the juvenile two different places. We
[12:34] added on the juvenile. They're in one
section now. They got 14 new offices. We
[12:38] took that money and did a really good
job for the county in the future. I
[12:42] mean, we've adapted to it and updated
our buildings. Never stops, but but I
[12:48] mean, that was well spent.
>> Okay. All in favor?
[12:51] » I I
[12:58] did. I put two on there. I don't know.
Did I even put the next one?
[13:02] » Sorry, guys. There you go. Okay. This
sheriff's department purchased two cars.
[13:06] Jeff, tell them how you done this.
>> What we're doing is we're asking
[13:10] permission to purchase two cars. I
believe uh sign for to be two Ford
[13:15] Explorers. Um this will be paid for uh
through the 287g
[13:22] contract we have. Um they allowed us and
that'll be on state bid I think through
[13:27] Sizzles. Um Buck should have sent over
the exact dollar amount. I think it's
[13:32] 46,000
>> and some change.
[13:36] » Linds in that
>> per car.
[13:38] » Great.
>> 46,000 and some change per car.
[13:43] » Um,
>> I do not have that exact number. Linda,
[13:46] do you have it?
>> Mr. Auditor, would you prefer them to
[13:50] make it not to exceed 40 whatever the
next?
[13:54] » Not to exceed 50,000.
>> Not to exceed 50,000. Is this is this
[13:59] and and this is with your lights all
everything?
[14:02] » No. Uh then we'd have to upfit it. I
think he said about 15,000.
[14:06] » Tell you what, why don't you give your
report? Let me see if we I can get a
[14:09] hold of him and get an exact number.
>> Yeah, we'll need the dollar amount on
[14:12] the equipment upfitting and each
vehicle.
[14:15] » Now, what' you say? 247G.
>> 287G.
[14:19] » Tell them what that is.
>> Okay. That's our agreement with ICE, uh
[14:22] where we have a task force of four
deputies. Uh this is when you encounter
[14:26] somebody in a uh roadside or something
and you determine that they may be here
[14:31] illegally. We have one of our uh
deputies, it's a task force officer, uh
[14:35] respond. They know what questions to
ask. They know what documents to look
[14:39] for and they have a direct line with
ICE. So it helps ICE, our nearest ICE
[14:43] office is out of St. Louis. U instead of
us possibly removing somebody who is who
[14:49] is here legally, we have the ways to
figure that out and to get a direct line
[14:53] to ICE. So, that was an agreement we
went into.
[14:57] I forgot how long ago that's been, but
uh
[15:01] we finally got all the money through
parks. Is that correct that that did
[15:04] come through? Correct. That check. So,
we got reimbursed for our participation
[15:09] in this program and it it allows us to
buy buy cars. So, it's no additional
[15:14] cost to the taxpayer. This is all
through the assistance from the federal
[15:18] government. Well, and then another thing
I I really agree with. We've talked
[15:23] about it before. This is something they
created. They created money for theirel
[15:28] and I'm for keep doing it cuz every time
you create money for yourself, which you
[15:34] wrote the grants, you did it all
yourself. Uh
[15:38] it it allows them to do this and and I'm
all for that. That that helps.
[15:42] » Well, it also trains our deputies to do
it the correct way where we don't do
[15:46] something that might violate somebody's
rights. So, it's it's it's a good
[15:49] program. We've utilized it and uh now
it's paying off for us.
[15:52] » Yep. Yes. I mean, job well done.
>> If you want me to come back, get the
[15:57] totals, I can do that.
>> Well, we can probably uh let me see
[16:01] here.
>> I think this is the last thing we have.
[16:05] If we want to continue with the meeting
and take a minute, just do the meeting.
[16:09] Sorry about
>> Well, why don't we do this?
[16:12] » You want to Nothing yet.
>> I back there. Uh the amounts for the
[16:18] cars are just under 92,000. So you can
for two for two and [clears throat] for
[16:23] the equipment is just under 24,000
something you know changed and things
[16:28] » and I believe I believe we received
$130,000.
[16:33] » I believe that's correct. So you're
you're under that. So we'd be under
[16:36] that. But I think you'd be safe if you
approve it for not to exceed 93 for the
[16:41] two vehicles, not uh
>> I would say approve it for under
[16:45] 120,000. We're at 117.
It'll be under
[16:49] » and I believe in that contract that that
money has to be spent for vehicles and
[16:54] equipment.
>> That's right. And then Buck said he was
[16:57] not he was servicing something someplace
else. So he wasn't at his office, but he
[17:01] knew the amounts. He didn't know the
>> the pennies and the exact. It was just
[17:06] just under 93 and just under 24. So
Bridget's got some
[17:09] » Bridget
>> just a suggestion like on the equipment
[17:13] you might just want to wait to approve
that at a later date because I know last
[17:18] time
Buck thought it was under state contract
[17:21] and it wasn't. So he might need to do
>> some bidding out.
[17:26] » I think he's worked on that but you're
you're correct.
[17:28] » So maybe just do the vehicles and then
if you don't mind like do the equipment
[17:34] like next time. That way we know like
who they purchased from.
[17:38] » Just just do the vehicle not to exceed
93 and then go ahead and have me get the
[17:43] exacts on the equipment and we can get
that exact on this week. Anyway,
[17:46] » I do know one of the cars is going to be
equipped as a K9 vehicle. So that has
[17:50] some additional expense over the other
car because it has to have a special
[17:53] cage and some special equipment.
>> What was that? What was that called? The
[17:57] money you got, Jay? What was the
>> 287g?
[18:00] » 287g.
Okay. And that's the grant
[18:05] for say
>> it's a contract grant.
[18:07] » Okay.
>> So I make a motion that we uh give
[18:10] permission for the uh sheriff's
department to buy purchase two cars not
[18:14] to exceed $93,000
and for that to come out of the 287g
[18:21] agreement
whatever you want to call it. And we're
[18:26] going to do the equipment just
>> Yeah, we'll take under that on the
[18:31] agenda for next week and have him get
the exact amounts of equipment.
[18:35] » That'd be perfect. Thank you.
>> Okay, we're just going to take that
[18:38] under adisement for next week and we'll
have it on next week's.
[18:42] Okay, you I'll second that. Any
questions, Rich?
[18:45] » Yeah. Uh Jeff, this is a net ad to the
amount of equipment you now have. Two
[18:51] more vehicles.
>> Yes. So, how does this impact your
[18:54] maintenance costs?
>> Well, we keep wrecking them and so every
[18:59] time we we take wreck one, we don't have
to maintain it anymore.
[19:03] » We have a lot that are hell damaged that
we're not on the insurance.
[19:06] » So, this will help us and we're our
fleet is getting older and we need to
[19:11] keep that. Uh,
>> but the number the total number in the
[19:14] fleet has is not been growing.
>> I just don't want you to overwork, you
[19:18] know.
>> No, I don't think we
[19:20] » How many do we have total with the hail?
It was
[19:26] » I gave you a number. I'm going to give
you the wrong number. I
[19:27] » think there's 12.
>> I think the sheriff department has 12.
[19:32] » Yeah. So, we we uh eliminated a lot of
remnants.
[19:36] » Well, 12 are the 12 of the ones that are
being fixed that we're going to get.
[19:41] » Some of them are old enough that it's
not worth
[19:44] » turning the claim in. And we'll have
>> and we're trying to get some of that
[19:47] money back through FEMA.
>> We we may as get be able to get as much
[19:52] as 85% of that back. Maybe uh we filed
it all, but some of them were below. We
[19:58] just had liability and stuff on it, but
we can
[20:02] » take the the 85% from FEMA on the damage
for the hail.
[20:05] » Yes.
>> Thank you.
[20:09] » It's always dry nice to drive a new car
instead of one that's got 300,000 miles
[20:14] on it.
>> Well, this this helps you also be able
[20:17] to rotate those bottom ones out that
>> aren't worth fixing. Okay. Is there any
[20:21] other questions? We'll move on here.
Okay. All in favor?
[20:25] » I
>> I
[20:27] » Okay, that's uh that's getting us down
to the meeting. Uh next meeting will be
[20:34] next week, September 15th,
Tuesday. And uh
[20:40] shut
>> Louie
[20:44] » commissioners. uh audit bids were to be
open at this meeting and we requested it
[20:50] to be on the agenda for this meeting. It
was not. So, we will award the bids next
[20:53] week.
>> Okay. Thanks, Louie. Thank you.
[20:58] » Okay.
Other business. Is there any
[21:01] correspondence?
[21:05] » Public comments?
[21:09] » Sure. Tonight at 6:30 at the North
County Middle School, there's a data
[21:13] center town hall meeting. Um there will
be representation of all views on data
[21:20] centers and uh everybody's invited to
come and share their views.
[21:25] » When was that? At
>> it's at 6:30 tonight at North County
[21:29] Middle School, which is the old high
school that I went to.
[21:32] » Okay. There'll be a data center meeting

>> County Middle School, aka the old North
[21:40] County High School.

[21:44] » Uh they're going to be I think Becky
Lobinger will be on there, Mike Costlo
[21:52] um and a couple of others. uh and also
someone representing the anti-data
[21:59] center view
>> some representatives from Amaran
[22:04] » are going to be basically presenting
>> I I can fill in the blanks a little bit
[22:08] she's right on the representatives
>> Jeff Meyer and Mike Costello will be
[22:13] there is supposed to be there were going
to have a list of questions they had
[22:18] sent to the department of natural
resources answered and back so they
[22:22] could read those to the crowd because
the natural resources people said we
[22:26] don't do those uh town hall meetings but
that list has not come back yet so they
[22:32] probably won't have that tonight and
there may be another one or two people
[22:36] speaking I'm not sure of but that's the
latest from this morning's conversation
[22:40] I had with Stephanie city administrator
of the exploratory there are no real
[22:46] proposals right now
>> it's informationational
[22:49] » yeah the city wants to see what they
need to do to be able to regulate this
[22:54] if if there is a proposal. You know,
Perryville has the best regulations that
[22:59] I've seen from any city. So, they may
want to look at their they've been
[23:02] adopted in the last month or two. Their
their attorney actually
[23:06] uh spent lots of time in the military
besides being an attorney on sound. He
[23:13] was sub, you know, so that things so
tight on the noise ordinance part of it.
[23:19] So the other stuff there's things on
water usage and power, but but that was
[23:25] the best one I've seen far as sound
because it differentiates exactly what
[23:30] the different levels and and and so they
for a small town they've done a real
[23:34] good job of getting that's
>> and and I will say yesterday I was over
[23:38] at the picnic which went great. I had a
lot of people ask me about it and I have
[23:44] not heard anybody approached us on a
data center or anything. Not not here.
[23:49] Nothing's I don't know about they I mean
we haven't been approached or talked to
[23:53] about any kind of data center in the
county.
[23:56] » Hey, does Perry County have planning and
zoning?
[23:59] » Does Perry County have planning and
zoning? They don't. Do they?
[24:01] » It's the city that is adopting because I
was
[24:04] » I'm just curious. I know we were talking
about the city.
[24:07] » I was with the county's uh clerk this
past week for the weekend. They do not.
[24:11] That's the the same issues facing them
is we we can't stop it with them and
[24:17] neither does Cape. And that's what he
was lamenting. He said they were talking
[24:21] about are you going to do planning
zoning? Well, it's going to be pretty
[24:25] difficult between the two bigger
counties next to us, St. Francis and and
[24:29] Cape, and neither one of them had
planning zoning. He said the city, he's
[24:32] with the county. said the city's doing
that's where I got to know about this
[24:37] this has really tightening up their
stuff making sure but the county has no
[24:44] » well then I've had a couple
>> thing from my friend in Perryville so
[24:48] yeah but they they're that they're
getting serious about it but we're in a
[24:52] heavy that's even more agricultural than
we are in St. Francis County.
[24:56] » Yes.
>> And I hear that, you know, data centers
[24:58] have had an adverse, you know, effect on
livestock,
[25:02] » you know, not to mention the water that
farms need to irrigate.
[25:08] » Well, I guess if that'd be
veryformational then if they want to go
[25:12] and listen to
[25:16] » Rich,
>> uh, I'm going to belabor my point. The
[25:20] elephant in the room is planning and
zoning. And I know it's not nice to talk
[25:27] about, but it will be when a data center
shows up next door and we can't do
[25:32] anything about it. So let please keep
that in the back of your brain. It's not
[25:39] a happy thing to do, but at some point
in time, let's fight it before it bites
[25:45] us.
>> Thank you. Well, and then like I said,
[25:48] if we get into planning and zoning,
we're talking about, you know, a whole
[25:53] different part of the county that'll
have to be added to on planning and
[25:58] zoning. Plus, I've been getting a lot of
calls recently, and matter of fact,
[26:03] probably next week, maybe the week
after, there's going to come in and
[26:07] speak on these yards that are getting
full of
[26:12] more or less filled with uh uh items for
sale or whatever. We're starting to get
[26:18] more and more.
>> You don't know if they're yards for sale
[26:20] or they're having a yard sale.
>> Yeah. You don't you don't know if it's a
[26:22] yard sale or they're just dumping stuff
off. But the problem we're going to run
[26:26] into when the county gets I mean with
road and bridge I I I understand their
[26:32] point. I'm going to let her come in and
talk because we're going to have to look
[26:36] at either ordinances some way to start
combating it. But I mean a lot of people
[26:42] just look at their neighborhood. I look
at the whole county
[26:46] » and and when we go to make an issue to
clean something up, it's just not that
[26:51] area. We're talking about countywide is
going to be very expensive.
[26:55] » Don't tell me.
>> And who's gonna clean it up?
[26:57] » Don't tell me how rich my yard
>> for two decades.
[27:02] » Vice versa.
>> For two decades, I've been far more than
[27:05] that for planning and zoning. Going back
to the mayor days and stuff because the
[27:10] problem we had on the edges probably was
voted on I think twice 2 to one. I went
[27:14] and looked it up the other day. 7
something,000 votes to 3,000 against it
[27:19] and vote against it. We did surveys at
the time and it's very interesting
[27:23] because the survey said that the people
wanted the ability to tell their
[27:29] neighbor restrict their neighbor but
they didn't want their neighbor had the
[27:32] ability to restrict them.
>> Uh and that that's where in St. Genevie
[27:38] faced the same thing. They passed
planning zoning to keep a the dump that
[27:42] went to Richwoods out and then the next
year they they everybody said we don't
[27:47] want anybody telling us hey and they
passed it and threw it out.
[27:51] » So it's interesting dynamic.
>> Sorry. Uh how long ago was it last voted
[27:56] on?
>> It's been 20 years at I look it up to
[28:01] see how close we were
>> because I'm thinking 20 years have gone
[28:05] by. There's been a lot of development
out in the rural areas and I used to get
[28:10] calls all the time from people out in
the county saying, "Well, why can't we
[28:14] do anything about this?"
>> Well, Kevin, what you're saying, I see
[28:17] what you're saying. It'll have to come
for the people in the vote.
[28:20] » Oh, absolutely.
>> Yeah.
[28:21] » Right.
>> It'll be their choice. I
[28:24] » I'm a little surprised that people
haven't [clears throat] directed that a
[28:26] little bit more because the likelihood
of a data center coming to this count
[28:30] in the county is a lot higher than in a
city.
[28:34] Well, maybe planning and zoning on
coming back up again.
[28:40] » Okay. Any other any other public
comment?
[28:44] » Okay. Department reports. Sheriff
Sheriff K.
[28:52] Sheriff,
we're still in the meeting. Sheriff, if
[28:56] if you would like to inform them that
the equipment's cost is $26,985,
[29:01] you all can still act on. And that's to
the he went back to the office to get
[29:05] the exact amount.
>> 26,000
[29:08] » $26,985.
So you can take that up since we're not
[29:14] close the meeting out. If you choose if
you want to wait till next week, that's
[29:17] totally fine. Since we've got the exact
amount,
[29:19] » I would say if we got the exact amount,
let's run it.
[29:22] » Yeah, let's get it done.
>> So I will make a motion that we purchase
[29:27] the vehicles at 26,000.
>> Hold on. Hold on. Go ahead.
[29:31] » So who are we purchasing it from? is in
his on the state contract.
[29:35] » You know that
>> I don't know.
[29:37] » Okay. Wait till next week.
>> And please inform whoever we have to
[29:41] have that stuff.
>> Good answer.
[29:43] » Good question. Yes.
>> This kind of came together quick check
[29:46] came in.
>> That's that's why we really appreciate.
[29:50] » Okay. Let's continue.
>> Okay. Just some quick numbers. Uh again,
[29:54] uh our yearly calls for service are
stand at 14,335.
[29:58] That was up by about 19 to 458 per last
week. Inmate population is up two to
[30:07] 138. That's 120 males and 118 females.
This weekend's totals will be on next
[30:14] week. We have a very busy and tragic
weekend in the county. So, got a lot
[30:20] going on, but deputies are still out
there.
[30:23] » They were very busy over the weekend. I
know. Well, I don't know if you've ever
[30:26] noticed that on 67 was closed down
twice. So, last
[30:29] » week, yeah, we had some incidents that
uh working with some other agencies on.
[30:34] I can't discuss that, but uh yeah, it's
been a busy weekend.
[30:38] » Great job.
>> Okay, J. Thank you, Ryan. Ro Bridge.
[30:48] Last week we had a send a crew out on
Russell Road that did a lot of ditching
[30:53] out there along had some erosion. Place
some rip wrap clean up some several
[30:57] crossroad pipe that had stuff clogged
clogged up in the pipe. Let them blow.
[31:02] Uh we did some prep work out on uh
Pinville Road which is an upcoming
[31:07] project we will probably try to do next
Monday. Uh the road will be shut down.
[31:12] We'll probably let the school bus go
through in the morning and we'll let 911
[31:16] know that it'll be probably closed down
for most of that day. Like I say, it's
[31:20] we went out and did the saw cutting
ahead of time to save time, but it's a
[31:24] 60in crossroad pipe we're going to have
to replace out there. So, just be
[31:27] advised if you're traveling that way on
next Monday. It will be out. Um it's
[31:34] closer towards the uh St. Joe State Park
entrance sign near that location if
[31:39] you're traveling that way. Uh crews
trimmed olive road. We had a lot of low
[31:44] hanging limits, opened it up with our
bucket truck, trimming it back entire
[31:49] route. Crews graded several uh gravel
roads in the area since we was unable to
[31:54] get asphalt from our asphalt plant was
down last week. They graded Old St.
[31:58] Louis Valley Mines, Robinson, Waffleman,
Adam Cemetery. Also did some ditch work
[32:04] on Olive and uh graded along that route.
Like I say once again, our mowing crews
[32:10] are out in the north and south. We do
have one tractor down with that arm. Uh
[32:15] trying to wait to get our parts in for
it. Hopefully they'll be in soon to get
[32:18] it back up and running. Uh we got most
of our salt order in last week. We had
[32:22] an order of 500 tons. They should uh
finish it up tomorrow getting that in.
[32:28] Our barn at the jail, it's currently
full with 300 tons. We should be pretty
[32:33] good on our salt material and the braces
for the winter. Uh, our crews went out
[32:38] and pothole patched Berry Road from Cash
Lane south and we had a large list of
[32:44] roads and nippy pothole patch got over
most of the county. Last week we
[32:49] installed 80 ft of uh 15-in pipe on
College Road for a new driveway
[32:54] entrance. Our prison crew, we eated
areas along Bismar Lake, Buck Mountain
[32:59] Road, Watson, Russell Road, Grider,
Loftboro, Lake Avalon, Arnaldi, O
[33:04] Vandergriff, Hampton Road. Picked up 280
lbs of trash. Uh, like I say, our
[33:10] mechanics were a lot of time trying to
see if we could fix that uh for the part
[33:15] that was damaged but was unable to. So,
that's it for now.
[33:20] » Okay. Thank you,
>> we're about to run out of meeting. And I
[33:24] did want to say um Louie, go ahead. No.
Uh I wanted to thank all the employees
[33:31] for filling out theformational
uh on the insurance. I know it was kind
[33:36] of difficult or a lot of them got it
done. I want to tell them all thank you
[33:41] for filling out that information on the
insurance. Uh go ahead.
[33:48] So,
everyone knows this Friday marks the
[33:52] 25th anniversary of the attack on the
United States. In the lobby of this
[33:58] building, as you come through by the
elevators, there's two large American
[34:02] flags. And I bet you passed by that and
you never stopped to actually read the
[34:07] letter that accompanies those two flags.
It mentions, one flag mentions all of
[34:13] the names of the civilians that perished
on that day in Shanksville at the
[34:19] Pentagon, the two World Trade Centers.
The other flag represents all of the
[34:23] emergency responders that pass on that
day.
[34:28] Flag was presented to Sheriff Dan
Bullock on the 15th anniversary of that
[34:33] Christian motorcycle ride. And I think
everyone here, I think, probably
[34:40] remembers where they were on that day,
on that beautiful Tuesday morning 25
[34:45] years ago.
This Friday, we should reflect on the
[34:49] events that happened 25 years ago and
think of the events that are going on in
[34:53] the world today. Stop by and take a look
at those names.
[34:58] » Thank you.
>> Thanks for that, Lou. And I I I I'm glad
[35:01] you said that. But I I also heard on the
news that after it's over now, more
[35:07] people have died after than happened
during during the attack that the
[35:13] medicals
>> have surpassed what actually died on on
[35:18] that day.
>> Kevin,
[35:21] » couple things. Um was at our meetings
last week, mandatory meetings, and uh
[35:26] big discussions on the election. We
don't know what the hell is going to
[35:30] happen. we'll decide something go in the
Supreme Court, but fortunately it does
[35:34] not affect us.
Senator, I mean, Congressman Smith's
[35:39] territory did not change either way. So,
there was no change in the the
[35:44] August election,
>> right?
[35:46] » So, but four or five others changed. So,
they voted on people that aren't don't
[35:52] live in those districts now. Now,
they're going to vote on uh So, I don't
[35:56] know how they're going to do that. and
like Boone has to change their whole
[36:00] county, everybody's codings on which uh
congressional district they're in. And
[36:06] we start voting um
in two weeks, the 22nd. So uh that's the
[36:14] first uh voting you can start absentee
balloting them and October 7th is the
[36:20] last day to register. Uh so those are
the two days coming up that are
[36:24] important.
>> Thank you. Thanks, Kevin.
[36:29] » Okay.
>> Yeah, I just took his picture.
[36:33] » I make a motion we journ that. Thanks
everybody for coming.
