1 00:00:00,482 --> 00:00:10,813 - Okay, seeing as we have a quorum, I'll call to order this meeting of the Waste Reduction District of 2 00:00:10,813 --> 00:00:21,247 - Monroe County Board of Directors for Thursday, October 8th, 2026. Mr. McClassen, will you please call 3 00:00:21,247 --> 00:00:28,510 - the roll? Edmund Smith. Thomas? Yes. Wilkes? Here. Jones? L? Thompson? 4 00:00:30,370 --> 00:00:41,336 - You have a quorum all four present in the room. Thank you. So for your information, we've included the 5 00:00:41,336 --> 00:00:52,940 - executive committee meeting minutes in the packet from August 4th and September 1st. Are there any questions 6 00:00:52,940 --> 00:01:00,286 - or comments about those? There's a typo on packet page three. Minor. 7 00:01:00,546 --> 00:01:21,347 - It's it says insured instead of ensued. It is under. Find it again. It's under the discussion of resolution 8 00:01:21,347 --> 00:01:29,822 - 2026-09. Yes. And we get that corrected Mr. 9 00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:41,711 - Do you see it? On page three of the package you said? Yes. That's under the executive committee minutes? 10 00:01:41,711 --> 00:01:51,858 - Yes. Those minutes are as approved by the executive committee. We didn't catch it. Sorry. I think the 11 00:01:51,858 --> 00:01:54,942 - meaning can be guessed though. 12 00:01:58,242 --> 00:02:08,218 - We'll move on to the minutes of the board of directors meeting from August 13th, 2026. We did not have 13 00:02:08,218 --> 00:02:18,097 - a meeting in September. So these are the most recent board meeting minutes. Are there any comments or 14 00:02:18,097 --> 00:02:26,910 - corrections? All right. We get a motion please. Move to approve the board meeting minutes. 15 00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:38,510 - Okay we have a motion and a second. All those in favor please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right that 16 00:02:38,510 --> 00:02:48,153 - passes. Next we'll move on to the controller's report and we'll start with the cash flows that were 17 00:02:48,153 --> 00:02:56,542 - emailed out yesterday Mr. Arnold. Okay on the operating budget is the end of September 18 00:02:56,834 --> 00:03:12,672 - $5,163,328.66. The debt service fund was $241.76. And the capital fund was $1,057.03. And the landfill 19 00:03:12,672 --> 00:03:22,206 - post closure report was $838,048.53. Are there any questions? 20 00:03:24,034 --> 00:03:35,698 - Are there any questions from members of the board about the cash flow statement? Okay, we can move on 21 00:03:35,698 --> 00:03:47,134 - to the payroll and claims, please. Okay, on page 25 of the packet, there's a summary of the claims. 22 00:03:47,650 --> 00:04:02,163 - Since our last meeting, claims of $365,866.73 has been approved. And there was no payroll this last 23 00:04:02,163 --> 00:04:11,742 - week, but we had claims of $76,012.21 for a total amount of $441. 24 00:04:15,010 --> 00:04:28,192 - All right, that was seconded by Commissioner Madeira. I don't know if we can hear her from where she's 25 00:04:28,192 --> 00:04:41,374 - sitting, but thank you for putting that motion on the table. Are there any questions about the payroll 26 00:04:41,374 --> 00:04:44,830 - and claims? I'll note that 27 00:04:45,122 --> 00:04:54,182 - The claims that were emailed yesterday included $65,400 for 10 new drop-off containers. So that was 28 00:04:54,182 --> 00:04:56,990 - a big purchase, but necessary. 29 00:05:09,506 --> 00:05:16,552 - If there are no comments or questions from board members, we'll go to the public. Is there any member 30 00:05:16,552 --> 00:05:23,459 - of the public who would like to comment on payroll and claims? There's nobody here in the NatU Hill 31 00:05:23,459 --> 00:05:30,367 - Room. I don't see any hands raised online. So do we need to do a roll call for this, or can we do a 32 00:05:30,367 --> 00:05:37,481 - voice vote? The voice vote is fine. All in favor of the motion, which is to approve payroll and claims 33 00:05:37,481 --> 00:05:39,070 - as presented, say aye. 34 00:05:39,682 --> 00:05:47,834 - Aye. Any opposed? All right, thank you, Mr. Arnold. We'll move right along to resolution 202608 for 35 00:05:47,834 --> 00:05:56,149 - a public utility easement. Mr. McClassen. Yeah, I'll refer you to the memo on page 107 of the packet. 36 00:05:56,149 --> 00:06:04,382 - As you can tell by the number, this is a resolution that's been in the works for a little while now. 37 00:06:04,482 --> 00:06:14,768 - We've been working with the National Guard Recruiting Office as well as Duke Energy as a part of the 38 00:06:14,768 --> 00:06:25,054 - recently completed renovations to the recruiting center. They did install four EV charging stations. 39 00:06:25,154 --> 00:06:32,076 - that the National Guard has indicated will be available to the public. I believe two of them are metered 40 00:06:32,076 --> 00:06:38,866 - and will be available for public use. But unfortunately, due to the location of those, in order to get 41 00:06:38,866 --> 00:06:45,722 - electric service to those, they need to cross the northeast corner of our property. So that's what this 42 00:06:45,722 --> 00:06:52,578 - easement grants is Duke Energy the right to run electrical service through that portion of our property 43 00:06:52,578 --> 00:06:54,622 - to these EV charging stations. 44 00:06:57,954 --> 00:07:05,858 - All right, can we get a motion on the table, please? Move that we approve resolution 2026-08. Second. 45 00:07:05,858 --> 00:07:13,606 - All right, we have a motion and a second. Are there any questions or comments from board members? I 46 00:07:13,606 --> 00:07:21,355 - have a question. Yes, Commissioner Thomas. Mr. McClassen, this is not going to impact at all any of 47 00:07:21,355 --> 00:07:25,694 - the current operations at the Waste Reduction District. 48 00:07:26,114 --> 00:07:33,576 - No, as I mentioned, this is the northeast corner of the property and it is, in essence, a corner of 49 00:07:33,576 --> 00:07:41,113 - what right now is just a grass field between a creek that runs just to the north of our building and 50 00:07:41,113 --> 00:07:49,470 - our recycling center and the armory. So it's just wanted to verify. Thank you. Any other questions or comments? 51 00:07:54,242 --> 00:08:04,066 - Let's go to the public. Is there any member of the public who would like to comment on resolution 2026-08 52 00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:13,704 - granting a utility easement to Duke for the National Guard EV charging stations? Seeing none. All those 53 00:08:13,704 --> 00:08:23,806 - in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right. I believe that passes. Was that four ayes? Very good. 54 00:08:25,890 --> 00:08:34,987 - The next resolution is 2026 13 leachate hauling agreement. Yes, and refer to the memo on page 115 of 55 00:08:34,987 --> 00:08:44,174 - the packet. As indicated in the memo and since 2019 binafano utilities has been hauling leachate from 56 00:08:44,174 --> 00:08:52,190 - the landfill that's generated in excess of what we have the capability to treat on site. 57 00:08:52,354 --> 00:09:00,744 - hauling that and disposing of it at the Ellisville wastewater treatment plant. They have asked for a 58 00:09:00,744 --> 00:09:09,134 - price increase I think is understandable given fuel costs and the current economic environment. I've 59 00:09:09,134 --> 00:09:17,773 - provided in there some information on the city of Bloomington's Dillman Road wastewater treatment plant 60 00:09:17,773 --> 00:09:19,102 - and some of the 61 00:09:20,066 --> 00:09:29,101 - that were proposed to be imposed on us by CBU back in 2019 that ultimately led us to seek alternatives 62 00:09:29,101 --> 00:09:38,223 - for managing that leachate and I think you can see that based on the current industrial waste rate that 63 00:09:38,223 --> 00:09:47,258 - they charge which our leachate would be subject to and the hauling rate we were paying to our previous 64 00:09:47,258 --> 00:09:48,574 - vendor in 2018 65 00:09:48,706 --> 00:09:57,450 - Uh, even with the price increases proposed, we're still seeing the cost savings over, uh, that amount. 66 00:09:57,450 --> 00:10:06,788 - All right. Can we get a motion on the table, please regarding this resolution? We have approval of resolution 67 00:10:06,788 --> 00:10:15,871 - 20, 26, 13. Second that. Thank you. Are there any comments or questions from directors? I have a question. 68 00:10:15,871 --> 00:10:18,078 - Yes. Commissioner Thomas. 69 00:10:18,626 --> 00:10:31,930 - It's a little confusing because it appears that the new price to haul is actually $70 for the 4,200 70 00:10:31,930 --> 00:10:45,767 - gallon. And then the $200 is the fee that they're charging themselves back to themselves for the actual 71 00:10:45,767 --> 00:10:47,230 - treatment. 72 00:10:47,394 --> 00:11:05,434 - is that correct? Because it says on page 118, it says that's the price and it says including disposal 73 00:11:05,434 --> 00:11:16,222 - fee. But then when you go further into the page 120, it says 74 00:11:17,378 --> 00:11:27,411 - under item four that the cost is $200. And then it says this cost shall be itemized separately. But 75 00:11:27,411 --> 00:11:38,147 - if it's included in the price of the hauling, I'm not sure I understand why it would be listed separately. 76 00:11:38,147 --> 00:11:43,966 - So the hauling is actually 70. So I guess the $270 figure 77 00:11:44,226 --> 00:11:53,958 - is for hauling and disposal of leachate from the landfill. Under Exhibit A on 120, that $200 is the 78 00:11:53,958 --> 00:12:04,274 - cost for them to bring us what's called a mixed liquor, which is actually a seed load from the Ellisville 79 00:12:04,274 --> 00:12:07,486 - treatment plant to the landfill. 80 00:12:07,714 --> 00:12:13,748 - Like right now, the water. The other side going back, right? The water treatment plants not running 81 00:12:13,748 --> 00:12:19,843 - right now. So when we start that up, we need a seed load. We need a bloat of water that has the bugs 82 00:12:19,843 --> 00:12:26,059 - in it for the treatment process. That's that mixed liquor. And that's and that's $200 total, including 83 00:12:26,059 --> 00:12:32,153 - hauling. Correct. OK, all right. That makes sense. All right. Thank you for that. Thank you for that 84 00:12:32,153 --> 00:12:35,774 - question. That was a good one. I didn't catch that earlier. 85 00:12:46,338 --> 00:12:55,795 - Any other questions or comments about the agreement or the resolution? Seeing none, we'll go to the 86 00:12:55,795 --> 00:13:05,915 - public. Is there any member of the public who would like to comment on resolution 2026-13 and the attached 87 00:13:05,915 --> 00:13:16,318 - agreement? All right, seeing none, I think we can vote. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? 88 00:13:17,538 --> 00:13:27,313 - All right, that resolution is adopted and we'll enter into that new agreement with Bynum-Fanio. I believe 89 00:13:27,313 --> 00:13:37,456 - next we have departmental reports cruising right along here. Yeah, I'm going to start with the administration 90 00:13:37,456 --> 00:13:43,358 - report. The memo on page 121 is a report in detail to summarize 91 00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:51,083 - the budget was presented at a work session to the county council on september the 16th there were some 92 00:13:51,083 --> 00:13:58,603 - some questions you know regarding potential property tax changes that may come down the pike and what 93 00:13:58,603 --> 00:14:06,270 - impact that might have on the district's financing and if there would be if the district has considered 94 00:14:06,270 --> 00:14:12,094 - requesting any local income tax dollars at this point obviously you know we've 95 00:14:12,226 --> 00:14:20,433 - We have not discussed that as a board. But and then some questions regarding the cost of living adjustment. 96 00:14:20,433 --> 00:14:28,107 - I believe that we are. Well, I know our budget passed a three point five percent increase. I believe 97 00:14:28,107 --> 00:14:35,934 - the county is looking at a two percent increase. So there's some questions about that. But ultimately, 98 00:14:36,034 --> 00:14:44,844 - the budget was as presented was moved forward on a six to one vote from the county council. We did have 99 00:14:44,844 --> 00:14:53,485 - the public hearing on that on just this past Tuesday the sixth and there was no public comment at the 100 00:14:53,485 --> 00:15:01,278 - public hearing on the budget and the council does not vote at that public hearing so it was 101 00:15:01,442 --> 00:15:12,607 - it will it awaits adoption on I believe the 20th that sound right but at this point given we're how 102 00:15:12,607 --> 00:15:23,102 - things have gone I don't anticipate that there'll be any issues with the budget being adopted 103 00:15:23,298 --> 00:15:29,856 - I will let Mr. Paulson report on the waste tire amnesty day. The Association of Solid Waste, Indiana 104 00:15:29,856 --> 00:15:36,414 - Solid Waste Management District is having its annual conference next week. We have a number of staff 105 00:15:36,414 --> 00:15:43,167 - and CEC members that are planning to attend one or both days of the conference. And then also that last 106 00:15:43,167 --> 00:15:49,790 - bullet point under the general updates, kind of want to expand on that a little bit. As I did attend, 107 00:15:49,922 --> 00:15:59,295 - a conference put on by Circular Indiana on Monday, and the entire morning was devoted to battery, was 108 00:15:59,295 --> 00:16:09,218 - termed EPR, Extended Producer Responsibility, and Representative Miller was in attendance. He has indicated 109 00:16:09,218 --> 00:16:19,326 - that he does plan to submit another battery recycling EPR bill as he did last session, this upcoming session, 110 00:16:19,490 --> 00:16:29,477 - and is agreeable and in fact kind of requesting working with a number of you know interested parties 111 00:16:29,477 --> 00:16:39,860 - including the Association of Solid Waste Districts, Circular Indiana, Professional Battery Manufacturers 112 00:16:39,860 --> 00:16:46,782 - Association, Waste Haulers Association. On that bill you know there's 113 00:16:46,978 --> 00:16:54,757 - we've seen a lot of these fires. Aside from the you know the environmental importance of battery recycling, 114 00:16:54,757 --> 00:17:02,032 - there's a public safety component to this. I think we're of all seen the news reports of some of the 115 00:17:02,032 --> 00:17:09,379 - fires that have occurred either in facilities or on vehicles traveling on interstates that are loaded 116 00:17:09,379 --> 00:17:16,798 - with predominantly lithium lithium ion batteries and. They do pose a significant hazard if they're not 117 00:17:16,930 --> 00:17:25,306 - The bill last year had near unanimous support, really was kind of derailed due to a procedural issue 118 00:17:25,306 --> 00:17:34,180 - because it was a short session and because it involved funding that the state would have to make available 119 00:17:34,180 --> 00:17:39,902 - to either the battery service organizations or the collection sites. 120 00:17:40,066 --> 00:17:47,997 - It needed to go to the Ways and Means Committee, and by the time it got out of the Environmental Affairs 121 00:17:47,997 --> 00:17:55,550 - Committee, there was not time for that to happen. So we do anticipate another bill coming this next 122 00:17:55,550 --> 00:18:03,179 - session and are hopeful, confident in its ability to move forward and get passed in some way, shape, 123 00:18:03,179 --> 00:18:06,654 - or form. Thank you very much for that update. 124 00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:21,077 - Are there any questions for Mr. McGlassen about the administration report? All right. We can then move 125 00:18:21,077 --> 00:18:33,802 - on to the recycling reuse and hazmat report from Mr. Long. Is he online? Make sure to enable him to 126 00:18:33,802 --> 00:18:35,838 - show his video. 127 00:18:36,258 --> 00:18:45,830 - It will need Joey Long and Lee Paulson to be able to participate electronically. There is. All right, 128 00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:55,309 - hi everyone. I will start off with the recycling and reuse report. We've completed completed another 129 00:18:55,309 --> 00:19:02,910 - clothing shipment to Martin County 3850 pounds of clothing, 412 pounds of shoes. 130 00:19:03,554 --> 00:19:11,789 - 382 pounds of purses for a grand total of 4,644 pounds. And all that clothing and stuff will be used 131 00:19:11,789 --> 00:19:20,106 - in Martin County for their area. What is not taken there will then be shipped out to be recycled. Our 132 00:19:20,106 --> 00:19:27,934 - green business network, been working great with our waste reduction specialist, McKenna Conway. 133 00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:35,980 - We've had seen an increase in recycling. Some of our businesses are asking for extra pickups throughout 134 00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:43,704 - the week for the remaining of the year. So that's a plus. She's been doing a good job meeting with everybody 135 00:19:43,704 --> 00:19:50,790 - and increasing our numbers. Our household hazardous waste, our sharps program has really taken off. 136 00:19:50,790 --> 00:19:57,310 - We're seeing a lot of people coming in asking for sharps containers for their used needles. 137 00:19:58,306 --> 00:20:06,294 - And we are getting a lot back, so we're constantly working with people every day on that. So we're very 138 00:20:06,294 --> 00:20:14,205 - happy to report that the sharps program is increasing a lot. The rural sites, we have received all the 139 00:20:14,205 --> 00:20:22,654 - new boxes that we paid for. So anybody out of the site should start seeing nice pretty blue boxes showing up. 140 00:20:23,842 --> 00:20:30,028 - have good reports on the ones that's already there. You know, people have commented how nice they look 141 00:20:30,028 --> 00:20:36,093 - and it's nice seeing the stuff. And with winter coming, we do have some fall parking lot gravel work 142 00:20:36,093 --> 00:20:42,279 - planned at the sites. I've been talking to the vendor. We plan on getting the parking lots in the best 143 00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:48,284 - shape that we can before all the ice and snow is hit. That's all I have. If you have any questions, 144 00:20:48,284 --> 00:20:50,206 - I'll do my best to answer them. 145 00:20:52,674 --> 00:21:01,183 - Thank you, Mr. Long. Are there any questions for Mr. Long on the recycling, rural centers, Hazmat? A 146 00:21:01,183 --> 00:21:09,691 - quick question. When you talk about improving the lots, the drive-through lots at the rural sites in 147 00:21:09,691 --> 00:21:18,368 - advance of winter, is that just gravel? Yeah, it's gravel. Because the ground is soft, we get potholes 148 00:21:18,368 --> 00:21:21,822 - quite a bit, so we pack gravel in there. 149 00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:30,637 - quite a bit. We do try to degrade it in a way to get the drainage to run off. We are working with that. 150 00:21:30,637 --> 00:21:39,077 - We've met with a couple of different vendors at different sites for drainage as the ice and snow melts 151 00:21:39,077 --> 00:21:47,682 - where the water's gonna run to. Yes, Councilor Bolts. Thank you. In Martin County, and I think you might 152 00:21:47,682 --> 00:21:50,878 - have said this at a different meeting, 153 00:21:51,778 --> 00:21:58,883 - is it or what agency is it that we're delivering to? It's Martin County Solid Waste so we actually don't 154 00:21:58,883 --> 00:22:05,649 - deliver they come and pick it up so when we have a truckload full they come and pick it up for free 155 00:22:05,649 --> 00:22:12,551 - because they don't have as many organizations that can get you get clothing like that so they take it 156 00:22:12,551 --> 00:22:17,694 - and go through it and let the surrounding counties down there go through it 157 00:22:18,242 --> 00:22:24,995 - And whatever can be reused in that area they take, then they ship off and everything else to be recycled. 158 00:22:24,995 --> 00:22:31,556 - All right. That's good to know. And do you have any idea how much utilization they have of those items 159 00:22:31,556 --> 00:22:37,927 - and how much they end up then forwarding off to recycling? I can find out. I honestly don't know on 160 00:22:37,927 --> 00:22:44,552 - this shipment. This is what the numbers that they reported back to me, but I can ask them how much they 161 00:22:44,552 --> 00:22:46,654 - actually got to use out of that. 162 00:22:47,074 --> 00:22:55,454 - Just in general, it would be good to know. I get a lot of questions around fabric and clothing recycling. 163 00:22:55,454 --> 00:23:03,518 - If it's just not good enough to go to someone else, what do I do with it? Would this be a good option 164 00:23:03,518 --> 00:23:11,582 - for folks? It may be. We do separate different stuff. So we have one big box that we put clothing in. 165 00:23:11,582 --> 00:23:16,958 - But inside that box, we separate stuff. So the shoes get separated. 166 00:23:17,378 --> 00:23:23,144 - the purses get separated, you know, like suspenders or something like that. I know we was separating 167 00:23:23,144 --> 00:23:28,854 - socks and I think we were separating rags. Now the animal shelter, we do ship to the animal shelter 168 00:23:28,854 --> 00:23:34,677 - too. They always look for towels, rags and stuff like that for the animals. So we also do that on the 169 00:23:34,677 --> 00:23:40,387 - side, but I don't track how much we give them because it's kind of like an as needed basis. So when 170 00:23:40,387 --> 00:23:45,982 - they say we need some, we collect it for them and we get it to them. And they walk down the hill. 171 00:23:46,594 --> 00:23:55,566 - we take that load to them. So we depend on how much we run a forklift up the hill to them. Okay, 172 00:23:55,566 --> 00:24:05,001 - thank you. So along those same lines, I'm wondering how long it took to gather all these donations of 173 00:24:05,001 --> 00:24:15,454 - 4,644 pounds. Is that like over six months or a year? It really depends. This is our, I believe, third shipment. 174 00:24:16,450 --> 00:24:23,137 - If you count in some from last year, you're probably looking about every four months. It's a lot. Yeah, 175 00:24:23,137 --> 00:24:29,824 - but that could go up and down like in the wintertime. We're definitely going to slow down. We slow down 176 00:24:29,824 --> 00:24:36,382 - in the wintertime and some of this stuff. People hold it up and bring us a large amount in the spring 177 00:24:36,382 --> 00:24:43,326 - so we get it. It's just how often they bring it to us. Alright, thank you. Any other questions or comments? 178 00:24:47,074 --> 00:24:57,286 - Thank you, Mr. Long. We can move on to Mr. Paulson's report, Landfill and Environmental Compliance. 179 00:24:57,286 --> 00:25:08,009 - Good afternoon. Lee Paulson, Environmental Compliance Landfill Director. The report is what it is. We're 180 00:25:08,009 --> 00:25:16,894 - still waiting for items response to our May 26 groundwater sampling event, which is an 181 00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:23,824 - Unusual usually we get it anytime from this time to the end of the month before we start on November 182 00:25:23,824 --> 00:25:30,594 - sampling event. There wasn't anything that was out of line or anything like that that would have raised 183 00:25:30,594 --> 00:25:37,233 - any eyebrows or anything like that. So it's just more of them taking the time to get through a pretty 184 00:25:37,233 --> 00:25:43,742 - lengthy report before they report back to us. But I would anticipate that document coming any time. 185 00:25:45,154 --> 00:25:51,191 - in the next couple of weeks, so we'll kind of go from there, but pretty much operation is normal here. 186 00:25:51,191 --> 00:25:57,286 - We've been shut down at the landfill, so we've been trying to spot clean the weeds that are in the pond 187 00:25:57,286 --> 00:26:03,557 - a little bit here or there, Marybeth and I, while the pond is still low. Our plan is to turn the treatment 188 00:26:03,557 --> 00:26:09,594 - plan on next week. We have a new computer system that we're putting online that is just different than 189 00:26:09,594 --> 00:26:10,942 - what we've had before. 190 00:26:11,106 --> 00:26:19,492 - So we're going to try to go slow and play with it, make sure we understand it before the weather gets 191 00:26:19,492 --> 00:26:27,796 - pretty ugly and need it, need it. And then Tom had mentioned the tire amnesty numbers. Those are the 192 00:26:27,796 --> 00:26:36,017 - last page of my part of the report. We saw less people this time around, but we still took out over 193 00:26:36,017 --> 00:26:37,086 - 1,200 tires. 194 00:26:37,314 --> 00:26:44,039 - Any tire we're taking off the side of the road or somebody's property that's not ending up that we have 195 00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:51,024 - to go pick up somewhere is an extremely positive thing. It was still a nice day, which may have contributed 196 00:26:51,024 --> 00:26:57,555 - to not as many people coming just because it had been not good. Then it was a beautiful day out that 197 00:26:57,555 --> 00:27:04,087 - Saturday. But we're still pleased with the turnout. I still think it's a very positive thing for the 198 00:27:04,087 --> 00:27:04,798 - community. 199 00:27:04,930 --> 00:27:12,023 - As long as we can keep getting that grant money, I know the core of us are all happy to do the work 200 00:27:12,023 --> 00:27:19,117 - to make it happen. If you guys have any questions, I'm happy to answer. Let me know. Thank you very 201 00:27:19,117 --> 00:27:26,352 - much, Mr. Paulson. Yeah, it is great that we can offer that event to preempt some of the cleanup that 202 00:27:26,352 --> 00:27:33,374 - you would have to deal with later. Yeah. Yeah. Are there any questions or comments on this report? 203 00:27:43,170 --> 00:27:55,954 - I think then we can go on to general public comment. Does any member of the public want to give a general 204 00:27:55,954 --> 00:28:08,255 - comment? I don't see anybody. All right. Comments from directors. I just wanted to mention, we talked 205 00:28:08,255 --> 00:28:12,958 - about this in the executive committee, 206 00:28:13,314 --> 00:28:20,590 - Starting at our next board meeting, we'll have our, and actually probably sooner than that, we'll have 207 00:28:20,590 --> 00:28:27,796 - our claims in a new easier to read format. So both the claims that are emailed each week and then the 208 00:28:27,796 --> 00:28:35,143 - summary of claims for the next board meeting. So thank you to Mr. Arnold for working on the new format. 209 00:28:35,143 --> 00:28:41,854 - I think it'll be. You're welcome. I enjoyed doing it. I think it'll be much easier for us all. 210 00:28:42,850 --> 00:28:51,026 - Yeah, we show templates, examples to the executive committee. We do think that it will be simpler to 211 00:28:51,026 --> 00:28:59,283 - read and understand. But obviously, if any board members have any questions or problems understanding 212 00:28:59,283 --> 00:29:07,459 - it, feel free to reach out to John or myself. And then I wanted to ask, is the CAC scheduled to meet 213 00:29:07,459 --> 00:29:12,478 - this month? Yes. We haven't heard from them in a while. Yeah. 214 00:29:13,058 --> 00:29:20,685 - They have not said anything to me about canceling next Thursday's meeting. I'm not sure what they have 215 00:29:20,685 --> 00:29:28,386 - planned as far as an agenda, but I have asked them to meet because we still have not approved the joint 216 00:29:28,386 --> 00:29:36,087 - meeting minutes from July. They need to get that done so they can be presented to the board. All right, 217 00:29:36,087 --> 00:29:42,974 - so hopefully we'll have a CAC update next time. Any other notes or questions from directors? 218 00:29:45,986 --> 00:29:50,366 - Seeing none, we can adjourn.
