1
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,840
Good morning. We're going to call
meeting to order.

2
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,880
Uh sheriff, can you give us an
invocation

3
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:35,600
and Brad, give us a pledge, please?
Thank you.

4
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,320
» May we bow our heads. Father, we thank
you for this day and thank you for this

5
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,079
meeting and thank you for constantly
being our joy and our strength. Lord

6
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:46,079
God, as we go forth on this day, Lord
God, we pray that you lead us, guide us

7
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:50,160
every step of the way. Uh keep our minds
open to whatever is going to be said

8
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,960
here and be receptive of what what's
whatever is going to be returned, Lord

9
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,680
God. [snorts] But more importantly, let
us keep the business about Adams County

10
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,440
and keep it about you more importantly
than anything. And as we do that, we'll

11
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,960
continue to give you all the glory, all
the honor, and all the praise. In Jesus

12
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,360
name we pray. Amen.
Face the flag. [cough]

13
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:12,799
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to

14
00:01:11,395 --> 00:01:18,880

it stands. One nation under God

indivisible with liberty and justice for
all.

MAS with Trust Insurance.

31
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,840
» Hello.
>> How are you?

32
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:42,239
» Good. Good morning.
>> Um uh thank you uh for allowing me to

33
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:50,080
speak to the board today. Excited to be
here. This is my first time in town. Um

34
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:54,480
so my name is Ranada Ranada Scanell. I
work for the Mississippi Association of

35
00:02:51,680 --> 00:03:01,200
Supervisors and specifically on the MAS
insurance trust. Um the MAS insurance

36
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:08,879
trust is a member-owned governmental
pool made specifically for county

37
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:14,480
government. Um I am very much interested
in um providing a vote to Adams County

38
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,000
if uh there is interest there. So, I did
want to talk a little bit about what

39
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:25,519
that post process would look like um and
see if we can get things started. Um so,

40
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:30,799
we require a 60-day window from when we
have a complete submission and when the

41
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:34,720
renewal date for coverage is and that
does seem like a long time, but there

42
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,879
are some other requirements that we need
to kind of step through. Um, and it does

43
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:44,000
take some time to get everything
reviewed by our board of trustees, by

44
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:48,080
our reinsurance carriers, and just
making sure that we've done a very

45
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,760
thorough review of all of the
application information, the

46
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:58,000
underwriting information, the loss
history. So, it is an involved process,

47
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:03,920
but um, usually it's quite worth it for
our members. Um right now Masset is

48
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:11,680
providing coverage for approximately 70
counties across the state and our um

49
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:16,720
what we want to do is make sure that
we're continuing to be able to provide

50
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:21,199
that coverage. So financial stability is
very important to the nature of how we

51
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:25,680
fund the program and how we're
evaluating all of our members. So if

52
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,800
there are any questions, I definitely
welcome that. Um, I would love the

53
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,800
opportunity to write a quote to y'all if
that

54
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,639
» I know I spoke to you all last year
about it and I know Mr. Burns had came

55
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:44,720
here about some uh insurance quotes and
stuff like that and he was supposed to

56
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:50,400
gap with you all last year in regards to
this. Have you all been making contact

57
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:55,680
about the insurance quotes on this? Yes.
So, I communicated all of our

58
00:04:52,560 --> 00:05:01,120
requirements back in December. Um, and
that does include um a request from the

59
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,840
board saying, "Yes, we want a quote and
this install the agent." Um, it does

60
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,759
include the application, the lawsuit,
all of that information that was

61
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,360
communicated back in December. Um, and
another part of our quoting process is

62
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:17,600
we sit down with the leadership of the
executive folks at the counties, have a

63
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,360
talk, answer all the questions. There's
a lot of little things that might be a

64
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:25,199
little different with a pool than it is
from commercial insurance and we want

65
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:31,120
everyone comfortable with the decision.
So, we do ask that we we meet

66
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:36,320
separately. Um, so we've reached out
several times about that, asked when was

67
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,880
a good time. Um, I just have not had any
um initiation um from from the agency

68
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,080
move forward. And that's why I really
wanted to come and speak today because I

69
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:48,080
didn't know if the board was aware of
all the requirements and all the steps

70
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,199
involved with getting a book.
>> Okay. Yeah. I recall you giving us an

71
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:58,479
application last year uh in December of
last year. Uh [clears throat] and I uh

72
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:04,720
spoke to Mr. Burns about it also after I
spoke with you um up in your office in

73
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:09,199
regards to that. So, um,
>> I'm just trying to find out where we are

74
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,479
here cuz I know the 60 day now has
passed.

75
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:17,440
» Yes.
>> Because October 1 is the deadline for

76
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:24,960
our insurance, but I I know I understand
I got something that you all can also do

77
00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:28,000
it for November also. So if we are able
to get all the meetings done, get the

78
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:35,840
approvals done, get all the information
in by September, we be able to write

79
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:40,880
coverage for November 1st. Okay. But
that is a a short amount of time to get

80
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,160
a lot of that all kind of ironed out,
but I'm willing to do it if you're

81
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,639
willing.
>> Anyone else have any questions? Any

82
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:51,360
regards to this?
>> Um, what kind of insurance you provide?

83
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,919
Is it for vehicles or buildings or
>> Yes, it's property and couching. So, um

84
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:00,319
county's operations. So, that's law
enforcement, public officials,

85
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:06,160
unemployment practices liability,
general liability,

86
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:09,759
automobile, automobile physical damage.
>> Mr. Burns, did you say something last

87
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:13,520
year about the vehicle insurance like
the sheriff vehicle insurance

88
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,639
» that you
>> Well, no, the problem wasn't in the

89
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:20,800
vehicle insurance for the sheriff's
department. uh although I think they had

90
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:26,240
some claims but the problem the main
problem was in the law enforcement

91
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:30,560
liability and in that because of claims
uh last [laughter] year we were forced

92
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:37,280
because travelers had nonrenewed the law
enforcement we were forced to place that

93
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:43,199
with another carrier. Um we uh we had
gotten a proposal from Mesa a few years

94
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:49,199
back and the county reviewed it and
decided at that time not to go with

95
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:55,680
Mesa. Uh we have reached out to Mesa on
several occasions uh including this year

96
00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:01,199
uh we started I don't recall back in
November uh unless those were provided

97
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:07,520
directly to the county but we were
provided an email from Ranada in March

98
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:12,080
because Deborah in our office is the
person that handles the county and she

99
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:17,199
was going to be out for a couple months
with knee replacement but we brought

100
00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:22,560
Kitty Simpson who some of y'all know uh
back in she used to handle the county

101
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:27,759
and she was working for us for the two
months that Deborah was out. So um we

102
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:33,120
had reached out to Rada on a couple
occasions and she of course sent us back

103
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:37,760
all of the requirements that have to be
met you know which is uh a meeting with

104
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:44,159
the supervisors or one or more of the
supervisors to be sure that y'all want

105
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:48,240
them to quote it. And uh every time we
reached out to Ranada, she would provide

106
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:53,279
us with the requirements which we in
turn provided to the county and said

107
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:58,880
here's what's got to happen if y'all
want a quote from Mason which we we

108
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:03,680
started actively working on it back in
March which is you know six seven months

109
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:10,160
before the expiration of the current
policy. None of those things were done

110
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:14,720
or provided us. Uh and you know that's
that's all we did you know was just try

111
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:19,600
to provide it and say but I mean there
was a lot of transition going on in the

112
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:24,000
county with the county supervisor and
and of course Miss Williams is doing it

113
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:29,120
now but at the time that all this was
going on. I think uh Mity was that she

114
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:33,519
may have already had decided she was
leaving. So, uh, you know, I'm not

115
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:39,040
trying to point the finger to anybody,
but I'm just saying that every time we

116
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:43,360
requested the information from Mesa, we
provided it to the county so that, you

117
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:47,040
know, and we explained and and a lot of
this had to do with the fact that

118
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,320
Deborah was going to be out. So, she
actively started working on it. You

119
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:55,519
generally don't start working on a
renewal until maybe 4 months before the

120
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:59,839
expiration date, but she started 6
months before. But each time we asked

121
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,399
for this information from Mesa, they
provided it and we in turn provided to

122
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:08,959
the county. But all that's the history.
I mean, you know, the the thing we

123
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,720
probably need to concentrate on is if
the board wants a proposal, which I

124
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:17,600
assume you do because you've always said
you wanted one and uh and for us to move

125
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:22,800
forward and and try to get this
information together for Mesa and do

126
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:26,079
whatever they need done to provide y'all
with a proposal to look at.

127
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,640
» Okay. Well, we have a new county
administrator now, so um she'll be on

128
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,200
top of that. Won't you all just get back
together with the new county

129
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:36,720
administrator
>> and um we'll try to get that taken care

130
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,480
of and [clears throat] see what we can
get by November or something.

131
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:46,000
» One thing I would like to mention um
we're still in need of some uh

132
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:50,240
additional information uh regarding even
if Mason is not quoting, which I mean I

133
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:53,920
assume Mason's not going to quote for
the renewal date because their their

134
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,399
time period has already come and gone.
So, uh, we still don't have all the

135
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:02,160
information that's needed to provide a
renewal quote from Travelers. Now,

136
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:06,959
Travelers has indicated that they're
going to offer renewal, uh, but they

137
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:11,040
still need all this information, but
it's updates and things like that, but

138
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,920
you know, we're we got a month and a
half left until expiration.

139
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,240
» Okay. So,
>> have you spoke to Miss Williams about

140
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:21,040
that? Have you spoke to Miss Williams?
Okay. Okay.

141
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,320
» It's been I've only spoken to her once,
but it's been mainly through emails.

142
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,360
Okay. Okay.
>> But, you know, we need to we need to get

143
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,200
that information probably first and
foremost

144
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:34,079
» just to be able to have that.
>> Yeah. Okay. I'll talk with her after

145
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:40,079
this also.
>> Okay. Thank you. All right.

146
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:47,279
» Let me let me ask a question. Uh, Mard,
I'm listening to what you saying and I'm

147
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:51,839
listening to Mr. Burns and uh I just
want to make sure everybody on the same

148
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:56,800
page. Uh, do you
uh feel comfortable and you going to

149
00:11:53,600 --> 00:12:00,399
have enough information from B Mr. Burns
to do what you got to do?

150
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,839
» I really won't know until I have the
information. I literally cannot do the

151
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:07,519
first thing without an application,
without loss rooms, without schedules. I

152
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:12,079
have nothing.
>> So, Mr. Barren, what do you need to send

153
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:14,560
her where she can start doing whatever
she got to do?

154
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:18,800
» In order for us to send it to her, we
have to receive it. So, we've got to get

155
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:22,959
it from the county before we can send it
to her. I can assure you once we have

156
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,120
our hands on it, it's going to mess it
that day.

157
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,360
» Okay.
>> Thank you.

158
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:36,959
» Okay. Thank you.
>> Okay. Next, we have the NAAC, Miss Joyce

159
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:40,200
Arsenal.
She did

160
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:47,959
» give your name and address for the Thank
you.

161
00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:58,480
» Good morning.
>> I'm not Mrs. Joyce Arsenal. I'm Fel

162
00:12:55,839 --> 00:13:05,040
210 St. Catherine Street here in Natches
and I'm a member of the NAACP.

163
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:10,560
I'm currently coordinator for the build
grant we received

164
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:17,920
uh back in February. We received a bill
grant and that grant was to allow us to

165
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:25,680
focus on trying to reduce some of the
youth crime here in our city. The grant

166
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:31,600
was in the amount of $25,000.
And as a part of that grant, we were to

167
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:36,720
first of all have a stakeholders
meeting, which we did. We met with

168
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:41,839
numerous
uh entities here in the city and we

169
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:47,920
presented information to them and asked
for input from them. Basically, as we

170
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:53,200
met with them, they gave us some things
that they felt we needed to start

171
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:59,199
looking at. A little while ago, I think
it was around September of 2025,

172
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:04,320
the mayor had written an article that
was published in the Natchez Democrat.

173
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:10,320
And that article itself talked about
youth crime in Natches and in some of

174
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:15,920
our surrounding areas. And he too was
asking if we could come together and

175
00:14:12,959 --> 00:14:22,000
look at what we might be able to do.
Just recently, the uh chief of police

176
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:27,600
presented some statistics to the mayor
and board of alderman about that same

177
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:34,480
kind of thing. So, this is something
this is a crisis for us and we need to

178
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:38,320
see what we can do in order to try to
curtail some of the situations we're

179
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:45,519
having.
When we did our meeting in April, we met

180
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:50,480
with people from all over. We had uh
school people there. We had people from

181
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:56,880
the board of supervisors. We had people
from the alderman uh mayor and board of

182
00:14:52,959 --> 00:15:01,839
alderman. We had people from all other
uh

183
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:06,959
places here in the city that met with us
and they talked about what they felt

184
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:13,920
needed to be done. And one of the things
they asked that we do was to meet with

185
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:19,680
different agencies and just mention to
them what we're trying to do and see if

186
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:25,600
we could come up with a group with a
task force that would come together,

187
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:31,680
look at what's going on in our city and
surrounding areas and then put our heads

188
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:37,040
together and see if there's anything
that we can do to try to help the police

189
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:41,839
of the sheriff department and cutting
down on the number of crimes that we're

190
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:48,320
having difficulty with. So, we're here
today requesting you to become a part of

191
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:55,040
that group. We know that as the old
saying go, it takes a village to raise a

192
00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:59,600
child. And these are our children. It
doesn't matter what color they are, what

193
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:04,639
their background is, who their parents
are, what schools they go to. They're

194
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:10,480
our children. And so we want to do
whatever it is that we can do to try to

195
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:15,839
turn our children around and get them
back on the right track. So as we form

196
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:21,120
this task force, we're hoping that you
will become a part of it, that you will

197
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:27,279
be willing to work with us to see if
there's anything that we can do. Now,

198
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:32,480
$25,000 is not a lot, but one of the
first things we're going to do, we're

199
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:37,440
going to have a conference for our young
people. We've already met with some of

200
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:43,600
the agencies who's willing to come and
do presentations to them and we want

201
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:48,399
them to understand what is happening
with them in their lives. You all see

202
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,040
the statistics. You see the number of
young people in jail. You see the number

203
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:58,160
of young people in prison. you we
constantly hear that they are building

204
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:02,880
more prisons but we're not getting
anything for schools. So these are some

205
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:07,280
of the things that we need to look at.
What is it if anything we can do right

206
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:11,760
here in the city of Natches to try to
help our youth. Our first task force

207
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:18,400
meeting is going to be scheduled in
September. And we are here today asking

208
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:22,559
you when you receive the information
because we will be sending out a notice

209
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:27,199
letting you know when and where in the
time that that meeting will be held. But

210
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:32,400
all we're asking is for you to join
forces with us and let us try to save

211
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:37,280
our children or some of our children
before it's too late. Thank you. And if

212
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,559
you have any questions, I'll try to
answer them for you.

213
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,960
» That's great. Anybody have any
questions? Uh, Madame President, I don't

214
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:52,640
have no questions, but uh, I think it's
a great idea that the NAACP got a grant

215
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:58,000
to uh, deal with this. Uh, I just want
to say this.

216
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:05,760
Uh, we just left a conference in
New Orleans, uh, Nate Co conference and

217
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:12,320
the incoming president, President George
Dunlap, uh, the first thing he mentioned

218
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:17,120
was how important it was and we as a
county have a responsibility to the

219
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:23,360
youth. So all this going to tie in
together because uh this is happening

220
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:27,600
not only in Adams County but it it's
happening all over the country that we

221
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:34,480
having problems with our youth. That's
why the president uh incoming speech

222
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:39,919
mainly dealt with what we going to do to
try to help the youth. So uh I think we

223
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,200
going to be on board with whatever y'all
trying to do.

224
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:50,080
» Thank you. normal.
>> Also, I like to say is um I got an idea.

225
00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:57,360
Um I reached out to
a well a commissioner from Florida and

226
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:02,720
he wants to come here cuz he has
experienced some of all those things

227
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:07,919
that are going on and um I got an idea
for that. So, he is willing to come here

228
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:12,799
and do anything to help us with that.
Well, we thank both of you and any of

229
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:16,640
the rest. Yes, sir.
>> I was going to n my president when she

230
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:20,559
finished talking. I said, "But it's a
great idea that you coming together

231
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:24,960
because what a lot of people don't
realize any crime in our community

232
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:30,080
affects our whole community. It's not
just one side of town. It's every side

233
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:36,080
of town." And of course, you know, we
are definitely not alone. It's if you

234
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:42,080
look at TV, you look at anything, it's
all across the country and I always

235
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:46,799
believe in so you got to start at home
before you can go anywhere else. You got

236
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:50,720
if you can't teach your kids at home to
respect you, it's hard for them to

237
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:56,160
respect somebody when they go somewhere.
And just my idea, we're coming out of a

238
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:59,520
a former educational background. Also,
it's just a few ideas that we'll be

239
00:19:57,919 --> 00:20:04,400
there. We definitely need to start with
our younger children. There sometime by

240
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:09,039
the time they get to teenagers, they
already lost and it's hard to get them.

241
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:13,919
We can save more of them if we start the
younger we start and instill the right

242
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:18,480
things in them. I think that'll be a
great deal. So, we looking forward to

243
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,640
partner with u with y'all to help our
community get better.

244
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,440
» Thank you, too,
>> M. Newsome. Uh about a year and a half

245
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:29,120
ago, we brought a speaker in. He spoke
at ACCS. He spoke at Cathedral. We

246
00:20:27,679 --> 00:20:33,600
wanted him to speak at the high school,
but they they couldn't work it out for

247
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:38,720
some reason. But but it he was talking
to the sixth graders through the 12th

248
00:20:35,919 --> 00:20:43,280
grade. There was three or 400 people in
at each school in the stand.

249
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:47,520
They never opened their mouths. They
never picked up a phone. They [snorts]

250
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,960
paid attention. This guy was sitting on
top of the world at one time. Spoke one

251
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:54,559
joint
and spiral downhill from there. ended up

252
00:20:53,120 --> 00:21:02,000
in prison
>> u for robbing his best friend's

253
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:06,559
grandmother at gunpoint for her meds. Um
he's got a awesome he's got an awesome

254
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:10,480
story and we've asked him to come back
and I think he might come back and if he

255
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,679
does I think he needs to go to to the
middle school and he needs to go to the

256
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:18,640
high school.
People need to know

257
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,760
their consequences. Their actions have
consequences. And and this guy knows all

258
00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:28,320
about it. Now, he eventually got out of
prison. Um

259
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,919
u he was a BMX racer going he was going
to go to the Olympics, blew a knee out.

260
00:21:29,919 --> 00:21:35,039
I guess God just didn't want him there,
you know, not for that anyway. But he

261
00:21:33,679 --> 00:21:38,400
ended up coaching a girl in the
Olympics. So, he did get it to the

262
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:42,320
Olympics. But now he's a motivational
speaker because he realized that's what

263
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:48,400
God had laid on his heart. and he was he
was just awesome. Some of the faculty

264
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:50,960
from uh Natches High did come over to AC
and watch that and they were so

265
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:56,640
impressed. But I don't know why they
didn't never followed up with that

266
00:21:53,520 --> 00:22:03,039
because they just need to know how fast
it can turn around. One just one mistake

267
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:08,480
can turn a life around and and not in a
good way most of the time. want to thank

268
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:12,400
all of you for your m real quick. Uh I
just want to say that there's there's

269
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:16,720
children all over the United States and
especially in Athens and Adams County,

270
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:21,360
no matter what class they're from, they
lack discipline and leadership. And like

271
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,960
a couple people said, it does start at
home. And as a leader in this community

272
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,880
and and everybody else sitting at this
table, I think we're failing if we don't

273
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:33,039
do our best to take care of the future
of our our future generation. And that's

274
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:37,919
what they are. So,
>> as a retired educator myself, I could

275
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:42,159
stand here for hours and talk to you
about some of the things that I

276
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:48,480
personally have experience, some of the
things I've seen. And, uh, we don't have

277
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:55,360
that kind of time, but some years ago,
uh, Budweiser used to do a presentation

278
00:22:52,159 --> 00:23:00,240
for us every year. They brought a young
gentleman in here named Michael Jackson

279
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:06,400
a couple of times and he was awesome.
Uh, Budweiser no longer does that. But

280
00:23:03,679 --> 00:23:11,760
it sounds like something, Mr. Wilson,
along the line of what you mentioned.

281
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:17,280
But we would love to get together, talk
about these kinds of things, see what we

282
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:22,720
can do because we've got to try to reach
our children and get them to understand

283
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:26,000
what is going on with them.
>> I I will definitely get in touch with

284
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:30,799
you because this person too is
phenomenal. As a matter of fact, he has

285
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:36,720
a movie out now of it. So, I would
definitely get in touch with you and um

286
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:41,679
get him here. Let's get him here.
>> And Mr. Wilson, if you can get that

287
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:46,640
information as well. And any and all of
you who would like to be a part of this

288
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:52,480
task force, please respond when we send
this invitation out because we would

289
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:57,600
love to have you on board. Miss New, uh,
being an educator like yourself and and

290
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,799
whatever other ones are in the room, I
congratulate y'all on what you do

291
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:06,320
because it
>> you the job is 10 times what it used to

292
00:24:03,919 --> 00:24:09,360
be probably. Yes. Cuz there are so many
PE kids in need. You used to be only two

293
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,480
or three in a classroom maybe that
really needed some extra help cuz

294
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,600
they're not getting anything at home.
But now it's uh it's probably a 70 or

295
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,480
80%.
>> Yes.

296
00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:22,880
» And and it's tough.
Well, that that's why we need all of us.

297
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:26,159
» We need all of us to come together and
work together to try to solve this.

298
00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:31,600
» Madam President, let let me put
something on on this board, man, because

299
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:37,679
uh I was going to say this during my
report, but the pro poverty rate in

300
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:45,360
Adams County is over 24%.
33% in Nachas. The highest child poverty

301
00:24:41,627 --> 00:24:52,880
[snorts] rate is at 27%.
And I said that to say this. Every time

302
00:24:47,919 --> 00:24:58,559
I look on the news, all the programs
that help our community, low income

303
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,840
kids, they cutting them.
>> They cutting Head Start. They cutting

304
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,200
Title One.
>> Yes.

305
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:11,840
» It's making even harder for us to help
our kids when you don't have the

306
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:19,279
resources and they cutting them out. So,
uh, our president, George Dunlap, pretty

307
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:24,559
much said when they cut the resources,
the county going to have to step up.

308
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:28,400
» So, I'm just wanting to see how we going
to step up. Thank you.

309
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:33,600
» And let me just say this and then I'm
going to snap. uh as federal programs

310
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:41,679
director for a number of years in the
public school district. We serviced

311
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:47,279
Cathedral Trinity AC because they those
children our children regardless and we

312
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:52,480
would provide services to them. The
poverty rate that you are talking about

313
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:57,440
Mr. Gray it's much higher than that.
When you get those statistics, they have

314
00:25:55,279 --> 00:26:03,279
gone through so many hands and so many
changes that they really aren't up where

315
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:08,960
they should be. The poverty rate here in
Natches is way higher than that. And

316
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:14,880
that's why we have got to see what we
can do. And again, I thank you so much

317
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:19,360
for your time this morning. and I'm
looking forward to you all being a part

318
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:22,960
of our task force and helping us to see
what we can come up with to help our

319
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:31,013
children.
>> Uh why while y'all here as the NAACP, I

320
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:34,960
got a point
[cough] statement to make. I'm going let

321
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:39,840
the president make or you going to be
made. Uh [laughter]

322
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:44,720
Rosco, what his name?
>> Barnes. Barnes

323
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:49,679
» decided that he was going to that man
right up over Miss Ronaldo's head, the

324
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:54,320
first black supervisor in Adams County.
They're going to put a plaque out here

325
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:58,640
» and we going to let everybody know where
everybody can attend that event cuz

326
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,480
that's a big event in Adams County to
recognize the first black supervisor of

327
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:09,080
Adams County.
>> And I'm going to ask if all of the

328
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,080
members of the NAACP will please stand.

329
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:19,080
Thank you all so much and thank you for
your support this morning.

330
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,679
» Miss Dome.
>> Yes, sir.

331
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,520
» That guy's name is Tony Hoffman. You can
Google him and you'll see.

332
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,600
» Tony Hoffman.
>> Tony Hoffman.

333
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:37,039
» Okay. Thank you. I need to write it down
because I'm of that age now.

334
00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:42,200
» All right. Next on the agenda is Miss
Monaco leader with triate mapping.

335
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,640
» Good morning. Thank you for allowing me
to come. Can you hear me? Okay.

336
00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:00,559
» Yes.
>> Okay. Um, currently we do the parcel

337
00:27:57,919 --> 00:28:06,720
mapping for Adams County. We work for
the tax assessor's office and it is time

338
00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:12,159
to renew our contract and I submitted uh
our contract renewal and I understand

339
00:28:09,039 --> 00:28:17,279
there were some questions um about that
contract renewal and so just briefly I

340
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:22,960
just wanted to kind of go over a few
things and kind of go over the history

341
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:28,399
of how why TriState was brought on board
and what we have accomplished since we

342
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:34,080
were brought on board. So in 2020 we
were approached and um I want to mention

343
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:40,559
that we do parcel mapping in Mississippi
for 40 counties in the state. We also

344
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:45,120
work with another uh 15 on the website
and web hosting. So we were approached

345
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:50,960
and asked if we would come in and
evaluate the situation that was present

346
00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:57,520
at the time and it seems there were
about 150 deeds that had not been

347
00:28:54,320 --> 00:29:01,760
worked. they were just sitting. Um, and
the land roll for that year could not be

348
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:08,159
closed out. The appraisal could not be
done on time. So, we were brought in and

349
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:12,480
asked to get the work up to, you know,
caught up and we did that on time and

350
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:18,399
they could get their land roll
published. So preceding that, we entered

351
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:25,120
into a contract to continue to do the
parcel mapping at an estimate of about a

352
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:30,799
thousand deeds per year for the next
four years. Um, which we have done. I

353
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:36,399
have went back and looked and we have
actually averaged closer to 5,000 deeds

354
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:42,640
that we have worked over the past four
years. Um, the increase, you know, is

355
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:48,320
about 200 from our original estimate.
We're working more deeds than we

356
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:55,600
originally thought we would have. Um we
also when we started we did a reconcile

357
00:29:52,080 --> 00:30:01,360
report which a reconcile report is is
what is required by do Mississippi

358
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:06,559
Department of uh revenue to identify
parcels on the land roll not on the map

359
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:14,399
and parcels on the map not in the land
roll. And ideally, you want to be at,

360
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:19,520
you know, less than 10, 15 parcels.
There's always going to be a few. When

361
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:25,279
we started, there were 520.
So, over the past four or five years, we

362
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:30,559
have went through that list tackling a
little bit each year and we have now

363
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:36,480
gotten that list down to four. There are
only four parcels that cannot be mapped

364
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:42,480
due to bad legal descriptions or no
legal description at all and one is an

365
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:46,640
old church um which is exempt from taxes
anyway. Uh but it's still on the lamb

366
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:52,480
roll. We just don't know where to map
it. Um so those are just some things

367
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:58,080
that we have accomplished over the last
uh four or five years working for Adams

368
00:30:55,039 --> 00:31:04,240
County. We have also
I have personally done the the parcel

369
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:11,520
mapping for Adams County myself. Um I'm
an I dealo certified mapping specialist

370
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:18,480
and due to the challenges that we were
faced with. I felt like um y'all deserve

371
00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:22,960
the most experienced person in our staff
to do that. And so I have personally

372
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:28,640
worked on Adams County and it is a very
challenging county to map in. There are

373
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:36,320
a lot of old historical plantations that
the documentation is just not there. Um

374
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:42,796
we have gotten about 500 requests over
the past six years to correct mapping

375
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:47,760
discrepancies, review mapping
[clears throat] um and trying to get it

376
00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:53,919
as as close to accurate as parcel
mapping can be and we have taken that on

377
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:59,679
and that is not a small task. Each uh
item that was sent to us requires hours

378
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:06,080
of research. We've contacted Miss
Lewis's office. We've had to go back and

379
00:32:01,679 --> 00:32:10,799
do deed research back to the 1800s to
try to figure out what how are these

380
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:16,320
property lines supposed to be
represented and to the best of our

381
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:22,080
ability have accurately done that or is
all the parcel mapping perfect at this

382
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:27,360
time? No. But we tackle the issues as
they are brought to us at the same time

383
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:34,399
working all the deeds that we get for
the regular tax role. Um those deeds are

384
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:40,159
required to be worked by March so that
the uh land roll can be done, the

385
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:46,480
appraisal work can be done. An accurate
parcel map is the foundation for

386
00:32:43,679 --> 00:32:51,760
accurate appraisal. They have to know
where the property is located in order

387
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:58,000
to go out and do the appraisal. So that
is the base, right? Um, I also want to

388
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:03,360
mention that Tri-State is a member of
the team that is doing the uh

389
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:08,559
orthophtography, which is the flyover,
and Adams County is in the south

390
00:33:05,919 --> 00:33:13,360
one-third of the state. So, as part of
that program, and Tri-State is a member

391
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:19,519
of that team, the county will receive at
no cost to the county free orthophy that

392
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:22,880
was flown in 2026.
We [clears throat] are a member of that

393
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:27,760
team. So we will have our hands on that
photography and on behalf of the county

394
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:34,240
we [snorts] will update the website
which is the TSC maps at no charge to

395
00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:39,840
the county. So the county is required to
fly I believe it's every 10 to 12 years

396
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:45,120
and this is not going to cost you
anything. So, that's going to save you

397
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:49,200
about $40 $50,000
uh to not have to do that flyover

398
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:54,640
because it's being provided to the state
or to the county at no cost. Um so,

399
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:59,919
they're just a few of the things that
that we've done uh over the past six

400
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:04,000
years to, you know, do the best we can
to bring Adams Countyy's mapping a

401
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:09,200
little bit more accurate. There are
still lots of issues. Uh Kim can attest

402
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:13,280
to that. I think that, you know, I've
gotten emails from Mr. Slover and

403
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:17,599
Grayson Lewis. You know, when you look
at this, can you look at that and see if

404
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:22,399
you can figure out, you know, what's
going on? And and we've done our best to

405
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:26,800
to try to do that.
You have any questions for

406
00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:32,800
» Have you read over the contract?
>> I don't know if I've read over the

407
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:36,560
renewal. It's probably the same that he
had before.

408
00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:41,919
» It's the same. It's a it is it is the
same scope of work. Um that scope of

409
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:46,560
work also includes the web hosting which
from what I understand combining the

410
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:49,520
parcel mapping and the web hosting did
save the county money [clears throat]

411
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:55,440
when we entered into that agreement
because the county was paying a separate

412
00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:00,800
contractor to do a web hosting for the
parcels. Um, and so we were able to save

413
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:06,560
the county, you know, money by combining
the two together at the same time,

414
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:10,960
keeping the work up to date.
>> Do I have any questions?

415
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:16,720
» Madam President, my own question, uh,
Scott, maybe you can help me out with

416
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:18,320
this is is uh, we still paying
>> GIS.

417
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:25,440
» GIS,
>> GIS and and that's mapping too, right?

418
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:31,119
» Correct. So is is it the same kind of
mapping? Is they duplicating or whatever

419
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:35,599
the case may be? Because if it is,
her mapping is for the tax assessor's

420
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:42,079
office and they're required to do it as
part of the assessments. I believe they

421
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:49,119
try to use the tax maps GIS does put it
on on the Atlas system that we have. And

422
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:54,079
I y'all have your own
system that you access online. is that

423
00:35:51,119 --> 00:36:00,240
» well we do all the work in in GIS format
and we upload it to TSC maps. The other

424
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:05,200
GIS mapping from what I understand
you're you're talking about is for the

425
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:10,720
911 center lines and
>> that's there's like three. So we have

426
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:17,119
one that's GIS, one that's for 911 in
your tri state for your tax man.

427
00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:22,320
» Okay. And we do GIS. So, uh, I'm not
familiar with the other GIS you're

428
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:28,960
doing, but we we do GIS for the tax
assessor's office. Um, we also, you

429
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:33,839
know, are able to do multiple layers
depending on what other GIS work you're

430
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:43,040
doing. And I do have a meeting with Mr.
Bradford after this to discuss how we

431
00:36:37,359 --> 00:36:47,359
can combine our GIS with their GIS to
try to save the county some money by,

432
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:52,800
you know, combining those together and
only having one. Now, I'm not familiar

433
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:56,800
with the other GIS you're referring to.
What's the base

434
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:02,079
for that?
Madam President,

435
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,680
uh I guess before they contracted with
y'all.

436
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:09,760
» Yes, sir.
>> Y'all was some other guy. Peter

437
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:12,320
» Peter Dale was working out of your not
out of your office but with your office.

438
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:18,400
» Was my office
>> working with his office? My only

439
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:23,119
question was was that the same thing
that you doing that he's doing?

440
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:28,480
» We we took over what he was doing with
the tax assessor's office. So he's no

441
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:33,200
longer providing that service for the
tax assessor's office.

442
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:39,440
» That that is one of the questions we
had. Are we doubling up services and and

443
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:44,240
wasting money?
>> I can send over

444
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:48,160
the GIS website, maybe hop on a call
with her and see what's whether there's

445
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:52,720
different services.
>> There seems to be I don't know the

446
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:58,320
extent of the scope of work that Peter
uh is currently doing. for the county,

447
00:37:55,359 --> 00:38:04,800
what he's under contract. I know that
once a year he gets the parcel data from

448
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:10,800
us and we get the address points and
center lines from him and we update our

449
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:18,560
website with the address and center
lines and he updates his website for the

450
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:24,720
uh the parcel, but that's only one time
a year. um

451
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:29,599
to say that you're duplicating it. It
does appear that you are just on the web

452
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:35,760
hosting and the GIS, but again, I don't
know the extent of the scope of work um

453
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:41,119
that he is doing currently for the
county. I did go out and look at the um

454
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:48,960
geo portal, I believe is what it's
called, and it's being hosted by another

455
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:54,320
company called GCT out of Louisiana. Um,
so I have talked to Mr. Bradford. I'm

456
00:38:52,400 --> 00:39:00,640
going to meet with him after this to see
how we can combine

457
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:06,480
everything onto TSC maps and not
duplicate that effort and save the

458
00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:11,599
county quite a bit of money.
>> Madam President,

459
00:39:07,839 --> 00:39:16,800
» so uh, Mr. Bradford, do you use Geo
Porter or what which one you use?

460
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:21,280
» Yeah. Uh way it works is uh long time
ago before I got here the county

461
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:26,240
purchased easy 901 and it was set up
where everybody uses that but over the

462
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:30,640
years uh we had four different users. Uh
the tax system went their way. Uh Peter

463
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:34,720
Dale went his way and I think he was on
the board with 91. We had an issue with

464
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:38,640
that because we're duplicating because
my office issued the 911. We were the

465
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:42,480
ones going out doing the road doing all
the mapping and what he was doing just

466
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:48,079
taking that information putting it on
the layer and we paying. So it's like

467
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:52,880
we're doing the work. He's just doing it
which they can do. And the the what the

468
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:57,920
plan is to put everything under one
umbrella because what's happening is

469
00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:02,640
when we issue the 91 numbers by we still
don't pay by the time it gets to

470
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:06,720
sanitation to the tax assess office
addresses get changed people inputting

471
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:10,720
stuff data. So you having problems where
you don't know who owns what. So we're

472
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:14,480
trying to alleviate that by everything
going to generate at the 91 office that

473
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:19,760
we'll know who's on that property who's
doing that. So sanitation know who send

474
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:23,680
the bill to because right now we just
got three different operating systems

475
00:40:21,359 --> 00:40:29,119
and we just throwing money away. What's
going to happen is once we align with if

476
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:33,359
the board approves CSC this information
we use we'll be able to send it to

477
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:36,720
dispatch as a layer. So everybody going
to be on the same sheet of even tax

478
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:41,119
systems. They won't have to try to input
stuff in and AS400 that all generate

479
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:45,280
from our office. So you won't have
multiple people trying to put different

480
00:40:43,359 --> 00:40:49,040
numbers in the system where a lot of
stuff get confused on homeowners because

481
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:53,119
what we run into is people have these.
They say my address is this and we're

482
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:56,720
showing a different thing and it may
just be an error where that person

483
00:40:54,720 --> 00:41:00,160
entered a eight instead of a five. So
and they have legitim say no this my

484
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:05,440
address. So we're running to a lot of
that now. So this would alleviate that

485
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:09,520
and like I say they do the same thing as
when you go to geopore people can see

486
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:12,720
that that information. We're just
cutting out a lot of middle man to try

487
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,960
to save money.
>> Okay.

488
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:19,599
» The reason I asked the question was
because I go on both of them and both of

489
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:24,000
them look the same. I mean I get the
same information

490
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:29,280
off of both of them. So uh
>> so we maintain the parcel layer which is

491
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:33,680
the ownership parcel pin number. That's
the layer that we maintain in the for

492
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:39,440
the GIS.
Um, from what I understand, the 911

493
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:45,200
office does the mapping and just gives
that information to Peter Dale. He just

494
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:52,960
turns around and I think gives it to GCT
and they just upload it to the GEO

495
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:59,200
portal. He's not actually doing any 911
mapping. And I'm I just that's just from

496
00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:05,119
my conversations with Mr. Bradford. Um,
so we're doing the parcel mapping,

497
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:09,040
working the deeds. Sounds like 911 is
doing the mapping, assigning the

498
00:42:07,359 --> 00:42:12,560
addresses, [clears throat] you know,
doing what they're doing, what they need

499
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:19,200
to do in order to get the correct
address, and then it's just being handed

500
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:24,480
off to him to update the GIS on the
website. So, it is a duplication. Well,

501
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:30,319
well, the only thing I was saying since
this budget period, we need to call Mr.

502
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:33,839
Peter Dale in and and and have a serious
conversation with him if we going to

503
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:39,119
decide we're going to go in a different
way where it won't be no surprise to uh

504
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:41,839
Gio Porter.
>> We typically take that one up when we do

505
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:47,440
appropriations.
>> Yeah, cuz they appropriations.

506
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:52,079
» Yeah, but lately we just been automatic
doing it cuz I haven't seen him in a

507
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:56,000
while. I was just simply asking if you
could get invited for that.

508
00:42:53,440 --> 00:43:02,160
» Yes. Yes.
>> Thank you.

509
00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:06,160
» Um, excuse me. We are very concerned
with Tri State contract

510
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:11,280
and making sure that we [snorts] get
everything taken care of. Uh, mine has

511
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:15,140
driven a long ways to come here and do
this this morning.

512
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:19,760
I'm trying to alleviate her having to
[snorts] come back and do what she's

513
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:26,079
doing now to compare what Peter Dell is
doing in his office because we still

514
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:30,859
trying to work with um Mr. Bradford
and we're trying to put everything under

515
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:34,720
the same umbrella at one time and that's
[snorts] what we're trying to do here

516
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,800
today.
>> You sent your request and we approve the

517
00:43:36,319 --> 00:43:40,560
contract.
>> Yes. Yeah, that's a request.

518
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,680
» That's a request.
>> You heard the request. Can I get a

519
00:43:42,319 --> 00:43:46,079
motion?
>> So moved.

520
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:47,280
» Got a motion by Supervisor Wilson. Can I
get a second?

521
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,920
» Second.
>> Second by Supervisor Gang. Any

522
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,680
discussion?
>> The only discussion I have is what what

523
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:57,200
was the difference in the contract from
the last four years to the one year.

524
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,440
Now
>> we increased $2,500 a year for a total

525
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:07,359
of $10,000.
And like I said, when we entered into

526
00:44:03,839 --> 00:44:12,800
the agreement, we were what? Okay.
We weren't really sure, you know, the

527
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:18,079
extent of the challenges and uh we
estimated we would be doing about a

528
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:24,079
thousand deeds a year. We're doing way
more than that. We're doing an average

529
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:30,880
of 12,300 a year plus fixing outstanding
issues and the cost of living

530
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:36,000
unfortunately for everyone is uh we see
it everywhere which increases our

531
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:39,599
overhead. Uh we have a staff of 13
mappers who are very very experienced.

532
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:44,880
We have an office in Philadelphia,
Mississippi, Gazdon, Alabama. And I was

533
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:49,599
venture to say that we're the best in
Mississippi at what we do. And we like

534
00:44:47,359 --> 00:44:53,839
to keep our staff. We do not have
turnover. And we have to accommodate for

535
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:58,720
the increase in cost of living.
Unfortunately, it's it's a sad

536
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:03,280
situation, but when you're paying four
$5 a gallon for gas, it's just it's sad.

537
00:45:03,216 --> 00:45:06,640
» [snorts]
>> So, every time there's a piece piece of

538
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,599
land sold,
>> a lot or whatever, you you'd have to

539
00:45:08,456 --> 00:45:11,119
[snorts] update
>> Yes.

540
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,640
» every deed that comes through the
courthouse.

541
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,480
» Yes, sir.
>> Okay. I was just trying to be clear on

542
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:15,839
that.
>> Yes, sir.

543
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:20,079
» Thank you.
>> Any other discussion?

544
00:45:17,839 --> 00:45:23,520
» All in favor say I.
>> All oppose.

545
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:28,040
» Eyes have motion carried.
>> Thank you for your time.

546
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,040
» Thank you.

547
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:38,480
Next on the agenda,
we have any city government business.

548
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:43,880
Any city government business?
None. We'll move forward. Departmental

549
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,880
reports.

550
00:45:44,481 --> 00:45:49,599
[snorts] Might as well go ahead and
finish ours out. How are we this

551
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:54,960
morning?
I have one board this morning for Mr.

552
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:58,000
Johnny Ray Jackson at 45 Sarah Gosa
Road.

553
00:45:56,240 --> 00:46:01,359
Um,
when we went back and reviewed it,

554
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:06,160
appears that we picked his home up in
the 2025 year and we picked it up too

555
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:11,040
soon. It was not completed until the end
of 2025. So, it should not have gone on

556
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:15,760
the roll until 2026. So, I have a board
order to remove his house and have him

557
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:19,599
land only and the amount of that is
$2,5954.

558
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:24,640
» You heard the request?
>> So, got a motion by supervisor Gains,

559
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,960
» second by Supervisor Militin. Any
discussion?

560
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,960
» How much was in there?
>> $2,59.54.

561
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,200
» All in favor say I.
>> I.

562
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:38,200
» All oppose. The eyes have the motion
carried.

563
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:43,079
» That's all you have.
>> That's all I have this morning.

564
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:56,720
» Not right now. Not sure as a capital.
>> Okay, sir.

565
00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:05,520
» Madam President,
>> so with the deduction on Mr. Jackson,

566
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:08,720
would that have any uh outcome on what
he filed?

567
00:47:07,359 --> 00:47:11,760
» I'll have to take a look and see if that
affects his whether that addresses his

568
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:15,680
objection or not.
>> Thank you.

569
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:21,440
» That addresses this. It is his objection
>> and then it's going to go up. And then

570
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:24,720
we actually after the meeting last week,
Mr. Wilson said that he wanted he felt

571
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:28,720
like everybody who presented their
objection to be looked at. We did go

572
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:32,079
back and begin pulling those property
parts to see if we could find

573
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:36,960
discrepancies and Mr. Jackson's did have
a discrepancy and Mr. Hugh has already

574
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:42,437
addressed that. It's been sent to Mr.
Har to have that corrected.

575
00:47:40,417 --> 00:47:42,437
[snorts]

576
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:49,359
» Yes.
>> Good morning board.

577
00:47:45,359 --> 00:47:55,119
I have one simple request today. Uh
>> after over 60 years in healthcare in our

578
00:47:52,880 --> 00:48:00,720
community, Miss Benny Boone has decided
to fully retire. I would like to try to

579
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:05,280
get if the board would do so a
resolution for her acknowledging her

580
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:09,280
years in community health uh to our
community and would like to try to do

581
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:13,599
that at next the next meeting if we
could to where I could plan it out and

582
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:17,839
get her in here. Heard the request. We
have a motion by Supervisor Miller and a

583
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:23,520
second by Supervisor Wilson. Any
discussion? All in favor say I.

584
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:28,288
» All oppose.
Eyes have it. Motion carried.

585
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,288
» Thank you. [snorts]

586
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,359
» Good morning. Just giving a report.

587
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,680
I'm going to approve $3,49610.

588
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:53,839
That's from last board meeting to this
board meeting.

589
00:48:51,839 --> 00:48:58,400
» Um the amount that we have made was
$3,49610

590
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:03,920
and that's from last board meeting to
this meeting. So third up to now. Oh,

591
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:09,520
that was the month of
>> August 3rd up until

592
00:49:07,599 --> 00:49:13,440
not including what was deposited this
month.

593
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,599
» Okay. Have a nice time.

did find out that this is something that

611
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:43,599
we're going to have to ask for approval
for the engineers to take over. So I

612

would like to ask for authorization to
issue a task order and our general

622
00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:28,480
Good morning board. Brad graph of Adams
County Emergency Management Director

623
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:34,480
Fire Coordinator. Uh just got one thing.
Uh the we have in possession uh a lot of

624
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:39,200
generators that we purchased uh through
mitigation grant and one in particular

625
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:44,240
we have a 400KW generator. Uh I know in
the past we uh that generator used to be

626
00:51:41,839 --> 00:51:49,040
at uh Parkway Baptist Church as a
shelter. Uh that entity no longer want

627
00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:54,880
to be part of the shelter. So, right now
we just had a generator setting up. Um,

628
00:51:51,839 --> 00:51:59,145
and that's a nice generator. It's going
to waste. Uh, I I know we got it through

629
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,599
a mitigation grant. So, I want
[clears throat] to get the board

630
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:05,359
permission. See, can we sell it because
right now he just send the bar going to

631
00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:09,359
waste and if you don't run those
generators, uh, we still have to do

632
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:13,440
maintenance on it. That maintenance is
very expensive on that type of generator

633
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:18,319
that's not being used
monthly [clears throat] on that. Um, so,

634
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:22,160
uh, like robbing them to try to crank
it. You know, the old guys try to crank

635
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:25,839
it once a week, but it still needs to
get put up under load and we don't have

636
00:52:23,839 --> 00:52:29,119
anything uh to put on [snorts] the load.
At first, we was going to talk about

637
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:35,359
putting it at the courthouse over here,
but they didn't I don't know what

638
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:38,000
happened with that plan on that. Uh, so
we need to figure out what we're going

639
00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:44,240
to do with it because it's just sitting
there not being utilized and it's just

640
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:49,920
costing us money.
Anybody have any discussion?

641
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:54,160
» I I just wonder um you gonna put it out
for a bid or or buy back or

642
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,200
» Yeah, that's why I want to get my
options. I'm going to get with Lima

643
00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:01,760
first and we got on a mitigation grant
and let them know that, you know, we no

644
00:52:59,359 --> 00:53:06,160
longer have no purpose for it. And like
I say, it's it's on a big trailer. You

645
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:10,079
got to have Bully and we still have to
keep maintenance on our sense

646
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:15,520
maintenance. [snorts] So, I'm trying to
see if the county will sell it or we

647
00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:22,240
want to hold on to it.
>> Where would that money go?

648
00:53:17,839 --> 00:53:26,317
» Go back to back to general fun.
>> Nice try.

649
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,317
» Well, I tried. [clears throat]

650
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:35,200
» I got a question to ask.
>> Uh, Madam President, you say First

651
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:38,319
Baptist, who you say?
>> Yeah.

652
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,079
» That they didn't want to.
>> Yeah. They don't want to be in shelter

653
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:45,559
anymore.
>> So, let me ask a question.

654
00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:45,559
» Uh,

655
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:52,559
can we before we sell it find out do
anybody else want to be a shelter?

656
00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:56,240
Because if something happened in the
community, a lot of [snorts] people used

657
00:53:54,240 --> 00:54:00,160
to go over there, right?
>> Yeah, they did. But they changed. They

658
00:53:57,839 --> 00:54:03,680
didn't uh the leadership changed and
they didn't want they was only going to

659
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,480
house people with Red Cross. They was
going to house evacuees.

660
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:11,599
» Well, I'm going to take them out the
scenario. I'm saying if we have a crisis

661
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:16,319
right a crisis right now you don't think
we need to try to locate somebody else

662
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:20,240
that want to
>> be a shelter before we set

663
00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:25,760
» yeah we we have other alternates we
already you know like some of the

664
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:30,640
schools that so we have areas but that
type generator need to be in place where

665
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:35,040
it can operate and run u that's the
whole intent of it putting it in a

666
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:38,720
building uh to be stationary where it
can be you utilized instead of just

667
00:54:37,359 --> 00:54:42,559
trying to pull a plug and play.
>> I just wanted to make sure

668
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,559
» Brad was that at when it was at Parkway,
was it set up on a weekly test?

669
00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:48,319
» Yep.
>> It ran every week.

670
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:53,119
» And so when the lights go out, it would
automatic put a load on. See, now ain't

671
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:56,520
a load on it and it's just sitting up,
you know. So

672
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:04,800
I say I can if another county can use
it, we can see you if they got need for

673
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:08,960
like that's a big general
for that size.

674
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:12,160
» Yeah, if you can sell it to directly to
a county makes it easier. We don't have

675
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:16,760
to advertise,
>> but I don't think we give it away.

676
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,760
» No,

677
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,200
I don't.

678
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:26,960
» Do you know what our monthly fee? Are we
paying it monthly, yearly fees?

679
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:31,200
» Quarterly the service it quarterly.
>> Well, it depends because we have to run

680
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:34,319
it because like I said if it right now,
you know, if you're not being exercise,

681
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:38,480
those parts in there, they they wear and
tear and the alternator on there. You

682
00:55:36,319 --> 00:55:42,319
don't want that, you know, cuz it's not
being used. So, uh, you know, I was

683
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:48,359
hoping, you know, sher get a new
building, we put it over there. I just

684
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:48,359
put the plug in.

685
00:55:48,559 --> 00:55:56,258
So, but you know we not it need to be
utilized and exercised. So,

686
00:55:55,119 --> 00:55:57,760
» all right. You heard the request.
[clears throat]

687
00:55:57,119 --> 00:56:05,240
» So, move
>> got a motion by supervisor Wilson.

688
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,240
» Yeah, that's

689
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,599
no discussion. It's just to give him
access to

690
00:56:10,559 --> 00:56:14,640
give him permission to sell.
>> No, not yet. Depending on who he's going

691
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:18,240
to sell it to.
>> Yeah. I'm just going I need to go out

692
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:22,000
there and throw away and not come back
and say, "Hey, this county won't

693
00:56:20,494 --> 00:56:24,160
[snorts]
need a motion for that."

694
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,599
» Okay.
>> Okay.

695
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,599
» Thanks. That's all right.

696
00:56:33,839 --> 00:56:37,599
» Good morning.
>> Good morning.

697
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:43,920
» My name is Johnny Williams. I'm the man
supervisor for the county. Come for you

698
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:49,440
today. Uh beginning out of year I hired
two employees

699
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:53,599
uh Roosevelt Johnson and Jordan Edmond.
Uh both of them has done a wonderful

700
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:59,760
job. Everything I asked them to do no
problems. I started one hour with 16 an

701
00:56:56,720 --> 00:57:06,079
hour and the other one at finishing but
I'm impressed with both of them. I would

702
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:10,160
like to move Jordan up to 16 an hour if
possible.

703
00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:14,000
So I'm asking that up the board today. I
think that was something he that last

704
00:57:11,599 --> 00:57:18,960
meeting we discussed it. I think Tijana
submitted it and um I think I talked

705
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:24,640
with Johnny after that. I did tell him
that we do not do raises until budget

706
00:57:21,119 --> 00:57:28,079
time but I think his intent back then
was kind of start both off at the same

707
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,200
kind of doing the same thing and
everything.

708
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:36,599
» Correct.
>> So uh he was just making sure that they

709
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:36,599
both paid was at the same rate.

710
00:57:37,359 --> 00:57:40,359
Um

711
00:57:40,799 --> 00:57:49,359
I I don't have a problem with getting
employees for crazy budget. Uh we we in

712
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:54,000
the budget period and I don't want to
open up a can of worms when Johnny come

713
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:57,680
up here now and then another department
head come and try to do the same thing

714
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:03,760
right after Johnny. We [snorts] tell
Johnny yes and then tell them no. So you

715
00:58:01,359 --> 00:58:07,119
got to be real real careful how you how
how we going to handle this situation.

716
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:10,319
did not me.
>> Yeah. Any budget request are supposed to

717
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:13,119
go first to the county administrator.
She has like a little form that they

718
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,839
fill out and then she brings it before
the board that's going to change their

719
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,880
[clears throat] race.
>> Right. And I think she she did that last

720
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:22,880
meeting.
>> Yeah, she did that last meeting.

721
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:26,839
» Do we know if it's in her bud? In his
budget? Do you have enough money?

722
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:33,839
» Excuse me, Madam President. So, Johnny,
what what was your other guys? The guys

723
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:38,559
that left before was at 16. You know,
you you hired two guys before.

724
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:42,079
» Both of them was at 16. So So basically
I got what you're doing. Your budgets

725
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:45,680
were there. One of them you wasn't sure.
So you started him a dollar list. It's

726
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:48,880
not going to affect your budget at all.
>> So this was just like a

727
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:53,765
» probation basically.
>> That's what Yeah. So that's what it

728
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,000
you know
[clears throat]

729
00:58:54,079 --> 00:58:59,760
» basically I understand what supervisor
Grace said cuz two years we had this

730
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:04,000
problem had a real big problem with
this. So, you know what we need to do?

731
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:07,839
If you going to hire somebody, you
already got that money in your budget

732
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:12,640
and you don't give them what's maxed
out. If you would, when you come back,

733
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:16,400
start them out at 15, give them a six
month probation period, and that way

734
00:59:14,799 --> 00:59:19,599
people won't think we giving folks
raises, anybody can come. So, that's

735
00:59:18,319 --> 00:59:22,640
just basically what we're trying to do.
Not trying to knock what you're doing,

736
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:25,520
but we trying to keep order.
>> All right. Thank you.

737
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:31,119
» I appreciate you.
>> All right. So, we got a request. I got a

738
00:59:28,319 --> 00:59:35,480
request. Did you have the phone?
>> I think she want

739
00:59:38,559 --> 00:59:46,799
you.
>> I'll make a motion legal for motion by

740
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:52,680
supervisor second by supervisor. [cough]
All that say

741
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:52,680
» only discussion I have is

742
00:59:53,680 --> 01:00:02,240
he did give the second employee less
than he gave the other employee. So he

743
00:59:59,940 --> 01:00:07,760
[snorts] going to bring him back us to
where he's paying the other employee. So

744
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:12,000
that's going to
all in favor say I.

745
01:00:09,839 --> 01:00:17,760
» All oppose.
Motion carried. Have anything else?

746
01:00:14,079 --> 01:00:17,760
» No. Thank you very much. Okay.

747
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:33,040
All right. Good morning, board.
>> Good morning.

748
01:00:30,319 --> 01:00:37,119
» Um, just updates. Um, the contractor is
is currently pouring concrete driveways

749
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:42,000
along Morgantown Road. So, they said
they're progressing with that project.

750
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:45,280
Um, we did submit those quantities for
the rib wrap and the ditches as well as

751
01:00:43,599 --> 01:00:48,880
the slopes and the guard rails to the
contractor. We're working on their

752
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:52,480
official proposal. Um, they said they
just got their final quote in from their

753
01:00:50,559 --> 01:00:56,799
guard rail contract subcontractor on
Friday. But he did tell me that he plan

754
01:00:54,799 --> 01:01:00,079
he thinks the quote [snorts] proposal
going to be somewhere in the ballpark of

755
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:05,359
$550,000
for that work. But I won't know for sure

756
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:10,319
until I actually get the actual proposal
from. Um so that's just where we

757
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:14,960
carrying on with that right now. Um as
it relates to the EWP projects uh EWP

758
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:19,280
ZC021
which is K road site number two and the

759
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:22,240
Jerusalem church uh the contract is
preparing to complete that project.

760
01:01:20,799 --> 01:01:27,119
They're currently dressing up the site
and getting it back u pre-construction

761
01:01:25,359 --> 01:01:33,839
in pre in pre-construction uh
conditions. Um last board meeting we

762
01:01:30,559 --> 01:01:40,960
requested authorization to um prepare
reimbursement for EWPC021

763
01:01:37,359 --> 01:01:46,032
and that's the same project uh EWPC045
which is 13 Johnson Circle and EWPC011

764
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:48,640
which is Upper Kingston Road. Uh
[snorts] we prepared those. So we

765
01:01:47,359 --> 01:01:52,160
requested now on the board's
authorization to allow the board

766
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:56,559
president to sign those three
reimbursement requests so that we can

767
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:59,680
submit them to NRCS.
request. Got a motion by supervisor

768
01:01:58,319 --> 01:02:02,240
Gangs. Can we have a second?
>> Second.

769
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:05,119
» Second by Supervisor Miller. Any
discussion?

770
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:09,119
» All in favor say I.
>> I.

771
01:02:05,599 --> 01:02:13,520
» All oppose. I have it. Motion captured.
>> Just a reminder site number one, the bid

772
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:19,200
open. It will be Tuesday, September the
8th. Um during that board meeting, um

773
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:21,839
Burke Road, we submitted all the uh PSC
assembly documents.

774
01:02:20,748 --> 01:02:24,960
[clears throat and cough] U they sent me
an email, told me they're currently

775
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:27,599
reviewing that. So once I get um
response for that, I'll let the board

776
01:02:26,319 --> 01:02:32,240
know about that. But they have all the
documents that they need as of right

777
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:36,559
now. Um as far as the state a project is
concerned um all the survey is done and

778
01:02:34,799 --> 01:02:40,880
we completed all the field data on last
Thursday and so we're now progressing

779
01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:45,638
with the design and totally we have 10
sites that's covering about 20 hours. Um

780
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:49,440
so we anticipate to put in there
[clears throat] for this to be submitted

781
01:02:47,119 --> 01:02:53,680
state by the 31st of this month. Um
usually when that sub is done we're

782
01:02:50,799 --> 01:02:59,599
about 80% complete the drawing. So the
subsequent submitt will be quick. So

783
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:03,280
she anticipates submit that on the 31st.
>> Okay. You say you have 10 sites?

784
01:03:01,359 --> 01:03:07,599
» Yeah. 10 sites. Yes ma'am. About 20
miles.

785
01:03:05,599 --> 01:03:11,920
» We have 10 sites.
>> We have all the 10 sites that have you

786
01:03:10,079 --> 01:03:15,280
submitted those 10 sites to us?
>> Yes.

787
01:03:13,839 --> 01:03:18,799
» The same sites
>> because I know he was looking at some

788
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:22,720
other sites to see if they would meet
state aid. But I think what he does,

789
01:03:21,119 --> 01:03:26,960
some of the sites that we had on the
list that we was doing hadn't had a

790
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:30,319
state project yet. We didn't change
anything off the site. What he did is

791
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:36,240
went in and looked at them to make sure
they had state a regulation. So if

792
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:39,760
whatever we put on that list, your roads
and stuff for that, those are the roads

793
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:44,160
that they did was [clears throat] not
already state a Friday.

794
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:46,240
» That's what I'm am I saying that
correct?

795
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:51,799
» Yeah. So the 10 site that you all signed
a program form for

796
01:03:48,559 --> 01:03:51,799
10 sites.

797
01:03:53,039 --> 01:04:01,359
» Are there any questions for
>> Yes, m president. So uh George, I know

798
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:06,240
they in the concrete uh stage on
Morgantown and once you get concrete

799
01:04:03,359 --> 01:04:10,319
laid, it's going to mill and once you
start milling the asphalt and it's not

800
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:17,039
going to take, you know, hard any time.
That's right. So is it and so we do have

801
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:23,039
the the money the 550,000 that
approximately we had that is the what we

802
01:04:20,799 --> 01:04:29,440
asked for on the extra money that was
left. So the money is already there. So

803
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:34,880
I'm just asking a question. Do we need
to make a motion

804
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:39,839
um authorizing anything so it won't be
two weeks later and you come back and

805
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:43,760
they start they get approved they get
their pricing in and by this time they

806
01:04:41,839 --> 01:04:46,720
going to be milling and they'll be
through with the project and whatever

807
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,880
come close. So do you need
pre-authorization or is it best for us

808
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,359
to
>> Well, you can go ahead and approve it

809
01:04:50,079 --> 01:04:55,280
because I think our next board meeting
is three weeks from now [clears throat]

810
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:58,640
in there. So we can go ahead because
what going to happen is once I get that

811
01:04:56,720 --> 01:05:02,480
quote I'm going to prepare that
supplement agreement based on MD's

812
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:06,720
format and then submit it. I won't have
to come back to the board to get any

813
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:13,200
signatures. That's right 550 that was
left the money that was there was about

814
01:05:09,119 --> 01:05:15,599
1.3 million left this $550
need to do [snorts] the milling.

815
01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:19,680
» Yes.
>> Have you heard the request guard rail?

816
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:27,520
» The guard rails. Yeah. I I'll make the
motion of that we move forward with the

820
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:40,400
right there ditch roll right there
that's going to be the back slope and I

821
01:05:38,799 --> 01:05:43,599
asked about you know we they did some
good grades on the ditches and it was

822
01:05:42,319 --> 01:05:47,920
looked like they was going to be pretty
deep you know over a period of time um I

823
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:51,039
knew it was going to end up washing so
that's why we asked to go back and get

824
01:05:49,359 --> 01:05:53,839
riff wrapped so we won't end up having
problems.

825
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,599
» Got a motion by supervisor gains. Can I

894
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:09,199
All oppose. The eyes have it. Motion
car.

895
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:15,520
» Other thing I have is uh 329 Southmore
Drive. Uh the pictures and the folks Mr.

896
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:20,400
Slovel this morning. It was adjubated
lot. Uh

897
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:26,159
we have to go back to the forward this
morning. We did so he had that

898
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:31,679
information with pictures.
$539.7

899
01:12:28,159 --> 01:12:36,320
on 329 Southport Drive. Make a motion to
place that on their assess assessment.

900
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:39,280
» You heard the request. Got a motion by
supervisor Gangs and a second by

901
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,679
supervisor. Any [clears throat]
discussion? Mr.

902
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:45,600
» President,
>> how many times have we put it on the

903
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:50,000
test? At least the first
>> last. No, we done it. No, sir. It's not.

904
01:12:48,159 --> 01:12:54,480
We done it already one time this year
early on real bad. [snorts] Was a little

905
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:57,440
It was more expensive last time it was
this time.

906
01:12:55,520 --> 01:13:01,360
» So when they get ready to pay their
taxes, they have to pay that, right?

907
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:05,600
That's right.
>> Do do have anybody tried to get in touch

908
01:13:04,239 --> 01:13:08,400
with them?
>> We put get in touch with them. Yeah.

909
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:10,960
They get noticed. They had a sign in
their yard.

910
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,320
» Yeah. [clears throat] But don't nobody
live there. [snorts]

911
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:16,560
» No.
>> Do we have the right information?

912
01:13:14,159 --> 01:13:20,800
» We send it to the tax.
>> Whoever paying the taxes.

913
01:13:17,679 --> 01:13:24,800
» Whoever paying the taxes.
>> Let me clarify that. Don't buy know who

914
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:29,120
the house belongs to. Somebody tried to
buy the house. It was belong to a real

915
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:33,280
company. Then it was supposed to be
belong to an individual. They didn't own

916
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:37,280
it. And we actually had somebody trying
to buy Miss Harrave. I brought it to the

917
01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:41,040
board before she was trying to buy it.
They couldn't find who it belong to. So

918
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:46,960
I think everything is going to a
relative company uh for the bill right

919
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:50,719
now because the young lady who was
supposed to own the deeds, we contacted

920
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:56,560
them. She said she didn't own it
anymore. And so we did make a effort to

921
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:59,840
contact the owner and if I'm correct
correct what I'm saying

922
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:03,080
» we would have made efforts through the
tax record

923
01:14:04,239 --> 01:14:11,040
» not necessarily owner it's a little bit
more sophisticated who exact owner is

924
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:14,480
but but that's not the law that require
us to do it and we do the best we can

925
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:18,480
because we don't want the last thing we
want is Robbie to be out there cleaning

926
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:26,679
we run him on the road anyway so we
don't like it we have to do usually

927
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:26,679
we get some report with the owner. So

928
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:38,560
» next thing I have uh supervisor Wilson
carried the motion. All in favor say I.

929
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:42,960
» All oppose guys have a motion carried.
>> Next thing I have supervisor Wilson

930
01:14:40,239 --> 01:14:49,920
contacted me last week about uh country
club drive in broadmore. I mean I'm

931
01:14:45,199 --> 01:14:53,400
sorry broke uh 6/10 of a mile. um got
when I imagined

932
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:06,640
or what?
>> Yeah, we had the money set aside for uh

933
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:09,040
Kingston Road and I don't know at what
point we're going to be able to do that.

934
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:13,520
So, I want to go ahead and put some of
the money towards this project so I can

935
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:19,920
at least get something done.
>> So, based what project is there? It's

936
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:26,800
Country Club Drive is 610 of a mile from
the highway to the seven columns that's

937
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:32,080
there. Um I measured it off uh to do
this. Like I said, he get permission

938
01:15:29,440 --> 01:15:37,520
before the board with the money that he
said he had that we were out of 48.

939
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:43,920
» Uh
Mr. Dollar,

940
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:45,520
you got the word that right. We in a
unit system.

941
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,560
» Correct.
>> So please wear that right before

942
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:53,840
somebody get
>> correct. But I'm saying the money I

943
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:58,880
guess may get approved before the board
to advertise

944
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:05,360
to do the project.
>> Okay. And where funding coming from that

945
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:08,640
opera money that was what what money?
>> Yeah. That that I never did spend on the

946
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:14,400
» Kingston project.
>> Yeah. It's should be only what

947
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:22,640
140,000 15,000
>> should be I'm guessing 485 it off and

948
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:29,440
measuring it somewhere
>> I don't think that road's been overlaid

949
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:32,840
since it was laid 25 years ago or so
it's pretty rough

950
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:43,199
got to get approval for the board to
advertise for the

951
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:45,840
is what I'm going to be asking for.
>> Advertise till we find where all the

952
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:52,560
money is. Right.
>> Yeah. Cuz it's all in general funds now.

953
01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:56,159
» Yeah. It's all in general funds now.
>> So, we need to see how much we have in

954
01:16:54,239 --> 01:17:00,560
general funds in there.
>> We got it from the board. We get it

955
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:03,840
approved to be advertised.
>> Yeah.

956
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:08,880
» So, we get a
>> pending.

957
01:17:04,480 --> 01:17:14,000
» Pending. Yes. I'll make a motion to um
get started pending the money being

958
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:17,600
where it's supposed to be in the general
fund.

959
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:21,760
» You heard the request and I've got a
motion by supervisor Wilson. Can I get a

960
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:24,480
second?
>> Second.

961
01:17:22,480 --> 01:17:28,239
» Second by supervisor Millin. Any
discussion?

962
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:33,120
All in favor say I.
>> I.

963
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:36,880
» All oppose. I have it. Motion carried.
>> Okay. So, Mr. slow. You going to check

964
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:40,239
county administrator on there. You want
me to check with her?

965
01:17:37,679 --> 01:17:46,040
» You should check on that.
>> Just want to make sure.

966
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:46,040
» All right. That's all I had.

967
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:58,480
» Good morning, boy.
>> All right. I do have a couple of things

968
01:17:55,440 --> 01:18:01,520
this morning.
First of all, I want to congratulate the

969
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:06,480
pickle ballers on getting their court
down there. They invited me to the uh to

970
01:18:04,719 --> 01:18:10,159
the to the grand opening of them, but I
couldn't make it cuz my son been ill for

971
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:13,360
the last two weeks. So, I want that on
record saying that's the only reason I

972
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:17,199
didn't show up to support them. And
that's not a shot at the tennis players

973
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:20,880
either cuz we love them too. I just
wanted to say that. But, uh I do have

974
01:18:19,199 --> 01:18:27,679
something for you all this morning
board. Um Jerome Tims III, he graduated

975
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:32,320
from police graduated from law
enforcement academy basic training and

976
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:36,560
he's completed his FTO. So, we do need
to do his pay change, which is the

977
01:18:34,719 --> 01:18:40,400
probation area here that you all talked
about this morning. It's already in my

978
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:46,400
budget and that's how the sheriff office
been operating about 10 years now. Uh,

979
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:50,400
so the pay change needs to be changed to
1964 [clears throat]

980
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:55,360
an hour. 1964 an hour. That's Jerome
Tim. And it is signed already.

981
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:58,400
» I do have the paperwork. Can I get a
motion?

982
01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:02,400
» Have a motion by Supervisor Wilson and a
second by Supervisor James. Any

983
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:06,080
discussion?
All in favor say I.

984
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:11,520
» All oppose. [clears throat]
Eyes have it. Motion carries.

985
01:19:08,159 --> 01:19:15,120
» Second thing I have I'm not sure the
name when you talk about those four

986
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:18,800
roofs is that just county business uh
county buildings or is the range roof

987
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,880
included in that? Probably not.
>> No.

988
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:24,640
» All right. So, I'll be getting with you
on that then. Our roof at the range has

989
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:27,679
been leaking and we do have quotes, but
I told them we need to get with the name

990
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:31,600
first. So, I'll bring that up and we'll
deal with the name after just on that.

991
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:35,520
Um, the other thing I wanted to bring up
to the board, and I hate that the county

992
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:38,880
administrator is not here, but we've
been through this with several county

993
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:42,480
administrators. Right now, they're
changing how we have to pay for

994
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:47,600
training,
um, travel, and everything. And I really

995
01:19:44,719 --> 01:19:51,760
need the board to consider hard changing
that credit card where you can pay for

996
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:58,000
at least training with the credit cards
because like Axon, Taser, all those

997
01:19:55,280 --> 01:20:02,880
guys, you cannot get a PO. They won't
take like POS anymore. They'll only take

998
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:07,199
a credit card. So, I really need the
board to consider that because we're

999
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:11,000
getting shut down a lot on the training
right now because of that.

1000
01:20:12,159 --> 01:20:20,080
» Can you do that on that credit card?
>> Uh training for tables and stuff.

1001
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:24,159
» Um we should be able to on the
procurement card. You can't?

1002
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:28,560
» No, you can't. Not unless you all change
what it can be utilized for. If you all

1003
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:33,760
change it can but what I'm saying is
like taser Axon and it's certain it's

1004
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:38,080
certain trainers that we have that
cannot be paid for a check or a PO but

1005
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:41,280
if you
>> I'm talking about the procurement credit

1006
01:20:39,440 --> 01:20:44,080
card we still that's the way we're going
to have to pay I pay for a lot of

1007
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:49,120
trainings with that.
>> Yeah. Long as long as the board allows

1008
01:20:47,440 --> 01:20:57,199
that [clears throat] change. That's what
you say. That's what you say. Long as

1009
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:57,199
long as you allow Yes. It can be. Okay.

1010
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:04,960
As long as it's um under $5,000 because
>> as long as it's under $5,000,

1011
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:08,880
» you can't do anything else.
>> Okay.

1012
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,345
» I just have to let you know. I just have
to let you know. [clears throat]

1013
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:19,840
» Yes, that's I don't think so because
it's you can always do that with the

1014
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:22,719
card.
>> That's why I'm asking though cuz we ran

1015
01:21:21,440 --> 01:21:26,080
into that problem. That's why I'm up
here now asking. So Scott, what is this?

1016
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:29,600
» So what problem did you run into with
using

1017
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:33,520
» like training like Taser? Taser has sent
us letters and stuff saying like they

1018
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,440
will no longer take POS. So
>> okay, we're not talking about POS

1019
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:39,760
anymore.
>> Okay, we on the credit card.

1020
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:42,000
» All right. Long as y'all good, then I
credit card.

1021
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:44,880
» I'm going stay on the record. Y'all
approve. I'm good to go. Moving on.

1022
01:21:44,159 --> 01:21:48,560
» Okay.
>> All right.

1023
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:52,560
» I'll take it. Okay. The other thing I
wanted to bring up to the board is back

1024
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:59,440
in May, you all approved for us [music]
to switch our GPS systems on the cars

1025
01:21:55,679 --> 01:22:05,360
from what we have now to enterprises.
That will save us $200 a month

1026
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:10,080
as GPS's go for all the units that we
have. But the problem is we never got

1027
01:22:07,679 --> 01:22:14,800
signature on it and we are still asking
for the signature. I have the paperwork

1028
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:18,560
here
and I emailed it to you all to look

1029
01:22:16,639 --> 01:22:21,440
over, but I'm asking for you all to go
with this geo tab so we can save that

1030
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:25,840
money.
>> It's already been approved.

1031
01:22:24,239 --> 01:22:29,920
» It's been approved, but we need a we
need a signature on it. We need an

1032
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:32,567
actual signature on it. Okay,
we got it. [clears throat]

1033
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:47,719
» All right, we need a motion for this.

1034
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:55,440
» Okay, we we'll take care of that.
>> All right. The other thing I was going

1035
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:59,920
to ask the board to consider as well is
when we go out of town, anytime we leave

1036
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:03,440
the state of Mississippi, we cannot use
our gas cards. Some people can afford

1037
01:23:02,719 --> 01:23:09,760
it,
>> some people cannot, and that is a

1038
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:17,040
struggle. So, I'm asking the board
to consider switching to Wix, which is

1039
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:20,560
another fleet management system that
allow you to go anywhere you need to go

1040
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:26,880
without having to come out your pocket
to pay in county paying county card. So,

1041
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:30,320
I'm telling y'all, we've tried it has
happened to me every single time I went

1042
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:35,840
out the state of Mississippi. You just
have to pay on. But um if we switch from

1043
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:39,600
Fuel Man to Wix then
>> to who?

1044
01:23:36,719 --> 01:23:42,320
» Wix. It's uh Wex
>> nationwide. It's got to be something in

1045
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:46,560
the account.
>> I'm telling you, I've been to Florida

1046
01:23:44,639 --> 01:23:50,800
and everywhere else for training.
>> So Mississippi.

1047
01:23:49,199 --> 01:23:52,560
» Yeah. Yeah. And that's what I'm telling
you.

1048
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:55,880
» Certain stations don't take them, but
fuel man.

1049
01:23:56,159 --> 01:24:02,320
» No, but I'm I'm talking to you even I
know what you're saying.

1050
01:24:00,480 --> 01:24:07,600
But take is like if you stuck at a stop
at a truck stop and they say they take

1051
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:11,418
it. For us, whatever's in our system and
we have been on the phone profusely with

1052
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:14,159
people, arguing with people
[clears throat]

1053
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:17,679
or having spiritual discussions, let me
say people connect the pumps and it just

1054
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:21,199
don't work.
>> So you need us to do what?

1055
01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:25,679
» I I really want the board to switch to
Wix.

1056
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:28,960
» Wix is another fuse fuse system that
doesn't have those issues that we've

1057
01:24:27,199 --> 01:24:32,719
been dealing with. And I brought this up
before even back with Joe Mur here.

1058
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:37,679
That's how long we've been dealing with
this issue with few man. When you go out

1059
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:42,400
state of Mississippi, once you get down
that path luxy, that's it. You cross

1060
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:47,520
over, you not getting any gas.
>> So,

1061
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:52,000
we need to look into that.
>> I mean, I know there's I had fuel in the

1062
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:55,600
past and I I'm very familiar with ran it
10 years. There are certain stations

1063
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:59,360
that don't take it, right? Fuel man's
nationwide. And so it's got to be

1064
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:03,679
something in the account.
>> And that's what I'm telling you. We I

1065
01:25:01,199 --> 01:25:08,239
promise you if I cross over here and all
our perks and people get to it, sheriff,

1066
01:25:06,159 --> 01:25:12,000
» it will be a problem. You can't go past
Texas. You get you get Texas over

1067
01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:15,760
Sheriff. It happened to us.
>> I know it.

1068
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:21,280
» We We work our fuel man car once or
twice a year. We get fuel for the boat.

1069
01:25:19,440 --> 01:25:25,199
They wouldn't take it to Louisiana. I
had to pay 90 bucks out of my pocket

1070
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:29,920
boat. M
>> and that's what I'm telling y'all. That

1071
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:34,159
happens every day, especially when we go
and transport prisoners back and

1072
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:35,520
everything and them guys, you know, like
I said,

1073
01:25:34,639 --> 01:25:39,040
» looking into it.
>> Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor. I'll

1074
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:44,719
move on.
I do want you all to know that the the

1075
01:25:41,679 --> 01:25:49,040
the air I know the maintenance crew is
still working on, but it's still out.

1076
01:25:46,719 --> 01:25:52,880
So, they're suffering over there. I am
too because it's been out for couple

1077
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:57,760
months now. this even after they came
and tried to repair it. But I'm going to

1078
01:25:55,199 --> 01:26:01,679
say this now. The guy said that it was
two different ways you can fix it. He,

1079
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:04,880
you know, you had the cheaper route and
then you had the other route. And he

1080
01:26:03,199 --> 01:26:08,320
said that if you if you [snorts] take
the cheaper route, it was going to

1081
01:26:06,239 --> 01:26:15,040
break. And that's exactly what it did.
So the air is out. Elevator still out.

1082
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:20,080
And I'm asking the board again. You all
approved that mold removal. Can we

1083
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:25,840
please move forward on it? Because the
heat mixing with that having to send

1084
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:32,000
people home every day over there.
>> Why hadn't that started?

1085
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:34,480
» We we approved it already. We gave Ly to
go ahead to contact the company and get

1086
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:38,719
it started.
>> It may have got lost in transition. You

1087
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:43,199
might think it might say lost. I'm going
just say put on the back.

1088
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:46,960
» That's the board's approved it. So maybe
check with Tana and see if she's got

1089
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:50,080
anything from Vinc. [clears throat]
>> Hey, I know who they are. You calling me

1090
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:57,400
through?
>> I mean, I has to be the board. But

1091
01:26:54,159 --> 01:26:57,400
» it's approved.

1092
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:02,120
» All right.
>> Um,

1093
01:27:02,239 --> 01:27:09,000
» that's about all that for you all.
Unless you all have something.

1094
01:27:11,545 --> 01:27:14,220
[laughter]
[clears throat]

1095
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,840
Yeah.

1096
01:27:19,440 --> 01:27:24,000
Thank you.
>> I actually told them I actually told

1097
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:28,400
Nancy to uh check with the company to
get with Robbie's cuz uh road department

1098
01:27:26,159 --> 01:27:31,840
office has mold as well.
>> They going to fix all of them

1099
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:36,320
» cuz I had told her that was months ago.
>> It's it's it's all they they name

1100
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:39,520
several builders in there. I'm just
asking for somebody from the county

1101
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:43,679
going get trigger pulled on so we can
get that deal

1102
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:46,480
» cuz it's about
Thank you.

1103
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:50,159
» Any public comments? Any public
comments? Any public comments?

1104
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,865
» Okay. I'm pretty sure
>> coming to the table. [clears throat]

1105
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,800
» Yeah. I got a whole lot

1106
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:11,800
insurance going up.

1107
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:21,480
And the last street
says [sighs]

1108
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,480
right here

1109
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:29,080
section 29-472

1110
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:34,360
state's

1111
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:46,639
personal position above the
be

1112
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:52,080
ain't going to do and you can't do it
because

1113
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:58,159
I do try to be nice and come to this
table and people

1114
01:28:54,800 --> 01:29:04,480
I say you can't
discuss it.

1115
01:29:01,440 --> 01:29:07,840
» Just wanted to clear myself cuz people
saying that Rick Gray did something.

1116
01:29:06,239 --> 01:29:12,239
Rick Gray ain't do nothing. That's what
Ricky Gray did. So when you print in

1117
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:15,760
your little thing that what Ricky Gray
said, Rick Gray didn't say that. I don't

1118
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:22,400
know where you get it from, but you will
be hearing from me. Uh

1119
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:27,840
I just want to say I've worked with
quite a few Republicans

1120
01:29:24,719 --> 01:29:31,679
in my life. I sit beside one or two in
the Senate.

1121
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:38,840
On the state level, I had to work with
Republicans. I ain't never had a

1122
01:29:33,199 --> 01:29:38,840
problem. on the federal level. Uh

1123
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:48,880
I have brought back millions of dollars
with other people to this community with

1124
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:52,960
Republicans. So I ain't never had a
problem with Republicans.

1125
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:55,960
Uh
respectfully

1126
01:29:58,159 --> 01:30:07,760
I just want people up here on this board
to know you do not determine my worth.

1127
01:30:05,199 --> 01:30:15,400
Only God determined
and the people of district folk

1128
01:30:11,679 --> 01:30:15,400
who vote for me.

1129
01:30:18,159 --> 01:30:25,040
I ain't changed since I've been on the
board.

1130
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:31,679
I'mma follow the rules.
But what one thing I'm not going to do?

1131
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:38,159
I'm not going to bow down to nobody.
Period. Government is supposed to be for

1132
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:42,760
the people and by the people.
We got a lot going on on this board.

1133
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:51,360
And
I just played that back for to let you

1134
01:30:48,239 --> 01:30:54,302
know I was lied on. The second lie when
you say that [clears throat]

1135
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:07,360
Ricky Gray took a bribe and you just was
talking about two supervisors when three

1136
01:31:04,719 --> 01:31:15,760
supervisors voted for it in the top of
the in the opinion section. Gray and

1137
01:31:10,639 --> 01:31:23,880
Gains did a top of the morning saying
how we voted for

1138
01:31:18,480 --> 01:31:23,880
the trash deal. So that's another lie.

1139
01:31:30,639 --> 01:31:34,520
We got a lot of problems.

1140
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:46,960
And like I said before, the new
president of of Nico

1141
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:53,520
saying how we need to help these kids.
And I said this here in every policy I

1142
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:59,440
read from SNAP benefits
to public education dealing with Title

1143
01:31:56,560 --> 01:32:06,400
One, which is the largest federal
program for K through 12 in the US. Head

1144
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:09,400
Start, which they trying to cut Head
Start.

1145
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:17,840
I don't understand.
This This is what I want people to do in

1146
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:25,199
this community.
Continue to watch the meetings.

1147
01:32:22,480 --> 01:32:31,440
Do not pay attention to what coming out
people mouth. Pay attention to their

1148
01:32:28,239 --> 01:32:37,679
actions cuz anything can come out their
mouth. They might say they for you, but

1149
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:41,560
every policy that they represent is
totally against you.

1150
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:47,480
» I feel like our community is under
attack.

1151
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:57,400
And we have a few people trying to tear
our community down. It's like a virus.

1152
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:57,400
It's destroying our community.

1153
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:08,199
I even tried to talk this out,
[snorts] but it didn't work. The next

1154
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:08,199
meeting I get attacked.

1155
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:19,520
Since I've been on this board,
I've been not only me, but we've been

1156
01:33:16,719 --> 01:33:23,719
accused of taking a bribe.
The school district been attacked.

1157
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:30,159
The circuit clerk been attacked.
The former district attorney been

1158
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:35,520
attacked.
The Adams County Port been attacked. And

1159
01:33:33,199 --> 01:33:40,239
the only thing we got in common is all
of us black.

1160
01:33:37,679 --> 01:33:46,639
» But we've been attacked.
But it ain't all about black because one

1161
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:52,320
of the prominent white citizen in this
community got attacked too

1162
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:58,560
because of a proposed development of
oilfield waste landfill near Civic. She

1163
01:33:55,600 --> 01:34:05,040
got arrested. So it ain't all about
black and white. It's all about money

1164
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:12,280
and power. That's what it's all about.
People need to be paying attention to

1165
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:12,280
that. And my dear supervisor over here

1166
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:20,960
said that he was going to commit
$500,000 to a new KLW

1167
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:24,639
pack. This effort is more than a
campaign is about building something

1168
01:34:22,719 --> 01:34:30,560
that'll last.
Wonder where I heard that from.

1169
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:34,960
» Building something that'll last.
District 4 like to choose their own

1170
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:40,880
supervisor. They don't need nobody in
the community paying somebody where they

1171
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:47,040
can choose their supervisor for them. We
don't need that.

1172
01:34:43,679 --> 01:34:52,560
Per example
the voting's right act. Ain't nobody up

1173
01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:58,239
here saying nothing about it.
63 US Supreme Court decision in youth

1174
01:34:55,600 --> 01:35:02,719
Louisiana versus counties watered down
section two of the voters's right act.

1175
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:07,440
The voters's right act serve as a
backbone of federal protection against

1176
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:12,080
racial discrimination in our election
extension guard rail ensuring that every

1177
01:35:10,239 --> 01:35:16,800
American
regardless of race has a meaningful

1178
01:35:15,199 --> 01:35:23,280
opportunity to participate in the
political process.

1179
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:30,880
They struck that down.
You know what it sound like to me?

1180
01:35:27,199 --> 01:35:36,800
Sound like project 2020 25. That's what
it sound like to me. And it's targeting

1181
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:42,320
black people.
So

1182
01:35:38,719 --> 01:35:47,199
I just want this community to wake up
and I'm calling on all the clear

1183
01:35:45,199 --> 01:35:53,600
thinking citizens.
That mean black, white churches,

1184
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:59,440
sorority groups, Eastern Stars, Masons.
Y'all need to go register. Everybody,

1185
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:04,000
you can go register before October the
3rd

1186
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:07,520
because after October the 3rd, you ain't
going to be able to register nobody

1187
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:10,800
else.
And

1188
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:16,199
you need to make sure they get to the
poll

1189
01:36:13,199 --> 01:36:16,199
because

1190
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:27,040
I was young, but I know my history
and it wasn't real good.

1191
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:32,560
And if we don't be careful,
our history going to repeat itself. And

1192
01:36:29,679 --> 01:36:36,840
it's going to be way worse this time
than it was the last time.

1193
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:45,280
I never been the one to be silenced to
the things that [clears throat] matter.

1194
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:52,360
But guess what?
When you are right,

1195
01:36:48,239 --> 01:36:52,360
God will help you fight.

1196
01:36:53,600 --> 01:37:03,760
My sympathy goes out to the Ford family,
the Miner family, the Hunter family, the

1197
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:10,639
Robinson family, the Rob family,
the Mosby family. Uh for you educators,

1198
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:16,239
Robert Mosby died yesterday.
the Owens family, the Woodfall family,

1199
01:37:13,679 --> 01:37:25,920
the Hudson family,
the Mard family, the McNeel family, and

1200
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:30,320
my dear classmate, Lar Robinson, the
Robinson family, and that concludes my

1201
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:35,679
report.
>> Supervisor G.

1202
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:42,800
» Oh, yes. And I just like to see extend
the um off center of everybody lost. Uh

1203
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:50,080
uh it's been a lot going on and Mr. Cory
Robinson was in the school system for

1204
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:55,119
uh so many years. I think 44 years. She
was in there a long time and believe it

1205
01:37:52,239 --> 01:38:02,400
or not, she was also my cousin.
>> Yeah. My grand my grandmother and her

1206
01:37:59,920 --> 01:38:08,639
grandfather was brothers and sisters.
>> So she is she she that's so that's our

1207
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:15,600
family also. So, you know, we just asked
to uh you know, pray. I want everybody

1208
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:19,440
uh so and I want to touch back on when
we was talking about the payment.

1209
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:23,679
Supervisor Hudson always has been asking
for a while. But when our county

1210
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:27,360
administrator get back uh I think just
there was some funds that left if they

1211
01:38:25,679 --> 01:38:31,920
was dealt with going to try to find them
and you know [snorts]

1212
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:36,639
a few small roles that we came up with
and I said we should probably try to

1213
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:44,239
find them and you know we can see what
we need to do because I know it was like

1214
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:48,639
Robinson and one of I forgot the one bra
couple roads got left off but it's

1215
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:52,560
funding that we need to probably look at
and see what we can do as a [snorts] do

1216
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:57,600
to get that covered. And another thing I
do want to move forward, I want to um I

1217
01:38:55,440 --> 01:39:02,159
think we talked about it a couple times,
but um I don't know if it's in the form

1218
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:07,679
of motion, but if not, I want to put it
in the form of a motion. We did a

1219
01:39:04,239 --> 01:39:12,800
renovation to our parks. Uh back a few
years ago, we all talked about uh

1220
01:39:10,480 --> 01:39:17,440
getting a plaque of some sort for our
buildings uh sign for our parks with all

1221
01:39:15,679 --> 01:39:21,760
of our names. We did the update and
renovation on them. And so, you know, we

1222
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:28,159
talked about it several times, but if
not, I mean, I want to make a motion on

1223
01:39:24,480 --> 01:39:33,440
record to move forward, find somebody to
um put our parks um put all of our names

1224
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:37,360
on here, the board that did it on all of
our parks. I think we did the ball

1225
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:41,440
field, Liberty Park, Rodeo Arena. We did
some at all of them. Lraange Rock at all

1226
01:39:40,719 --> 01:39:43,600
of them. We
>> did.

1227
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:47,320
» We didn't do nothing. We didn't do
anything on the

1228
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:47,320
» ground

1229
01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:55,199
just with all our matter of fact
renovation. I seen

1230
01:39:52,639 --> 01:39:58,679
on the building on the building
>> just like they did

1231
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,960
» like

1232
01:40:02,719 --> 01:40:08,800
that different time
>> and we had a upgrade under this board.

1233
01:40:07,119 --> 01:40:11,600
That's basically what I want. So
>> because we supposed to have been

1234
01:40:10,159 --> 01:40:15,440
» Yes. Right. And so I want to make that
in formal motion so we can move forward

1235
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:17,360
if we don't pass. So that's in the form
of a motion.

1236
01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:19,760
» Second.
>> Got a [clears throat] motion by

1237
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:24,400
supervisor Gains and a second by
Supervisor Militin. Any discussion?

1238
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:28,639
All in favor say I.
>> I.

1239
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:32,880
» All oppose. Um
the motion carried. Only thing I want to

1240
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:36,960
do is make sure they're looking to see
what price ranges they're running.

1241
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:40,400
» Oh, that's [clears throat] all I'm
doing. Just kind of getting it

1242
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:42,880
» getting it moving. You know, once we get
a price, stuff like that, we can go

1243
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:46,320
back.
>> Yes, we can go back down.

1244
01:40:44,480 --> 01:40:49,360
» Still sitting there.
>> The name check some plaques for each

1245
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:54,080
park.
>> Okay. And each park probably has not

1246
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:56,560
that you know for unit system or all.
>> Yes.

1247
01:40:54,480 --> 01:41:02,520
» Each parks district usually. So just ask
that supervisor what they prefer on that

1248
01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:02,520
plaque and we'll try to make a little

1249
01:41:04,719 --> 01:41:09,600
» approval and it's a unit system. So we
got to put everything. We

1250
01:41:08,239 --> 01:41:12,159
» she's just going to give us all the fin
what you want and get quotes back and

1251
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:15,199
then that'll be finally
>> approved and have a line item and

1252
01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:19,920
objection at that point.
>> So let me clear this up Mr. N right now.

1253
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:24,480
So we won't be uh I think everybody I'm
hearing the consensus of everybody here

1254
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:27,199
basically we want a plaque and upgrade
when we upgrade it with all of our

1255
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:30,800
names. Is that correct?
>> That's correct.

1256
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:35,600
» So that's and that's for our part that
way I don't want Mr. Mean to be C had

1257
01:41:33,679 --> 01:41:40,239
think she got to call each supervisor. I
think we in unity, not about just trying

1258
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:42,800
to get a price on what we want in our
names that we

1259
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,840
» in the rodeo arena or the ball field.
>> Yeah.

1260
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:47,760
» Excuse me.
>> In the rodeo arena and the ball field.

1261
01:41:46,159 --> 01:41:50,480
» Do we have one now?
>> No.

1262
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:53,199
» So, we probably going to have one like
the one at the safe room. Like the one

1263
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:58,000
at the safe room. Okay.
>> Yeah. It's like uh now I did see one

1264
01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:02,880
long time ago was out at the rodeo ring
and somebody had welded welded something

1265
01:42:00,480 --> 01:42:08,159
up like some names up like that and so
it's just dead at uh maybe I'll try to

1266
01:42:06,159 --> 01:42:12,320
» I thought I'll get with you. I'll show
you how it's supposed to

1267
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:18,080
» one more question. I was um Wes said
rodeo arena and what was

1268
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:19,760
» all that was done at St. Thomas Park?
>> Yes. Just

1269
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:24,639
» let me ask
>> I know that um

1270
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:27,840
» the engineer was telling me we was going
to do the one at the ball field but he

1271
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:30,239
wanted to make sure everything was
complete.

1272
01:42:28,639 --> 01:42:32,000
» Everything should be we got all
>> Is it complete now?

1273
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:34,719
» Yeah.
>> I mean final punch list but for the most

1274
01:42:34,480 --> 01:42:37,119
part.
>> Yeah.

1275
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:39,440
» You say the engineer.
>> Yes.

1276
01:42:38,239 --> 01:42:43,920
» Um
>> from Baton Rouge

1277
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:48,480
charges.
>> No part of his

1278
01:42:45,679 --> 01:42:53,199
» Oh, it's part of his job. I think it is
because I think it's included because um

1279
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:56,320
when Corvette was here, she was asking
me um where we going to do it and he

1280
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:59,920
told me that we were going to get
together and get everything done once

1281
01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:03,600
everything is complete and find a
location where we're going to put the

1282
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:07,280
play.
>> Yeah, I think he's paying for that

1283
01:43:05,679 --> 01:43:11,119
platform. I don't think that's included.
It was just

1284
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:14,560
» who everybody names that needed to be on
it. That's what it is. You need to find

1285
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:19,119
out
>> with that.

1286
01:43:15,199 --> 01:43:25,520
» But I yield for M. I for
>> Okay. Um

1287
01:43:21,679 --> 01:43:32,800
Robin, we talked about uh Brian Lees on
calling drive and and u I think this uh

1288
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:38,480
Jim Betty Sue Taylor on Pin Po they said
they had a somebody came and looked at

1289
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:43,520
their yard maybe EWP. I don't know if
you know who I'm talking about. Uh they

1290
01:43:41,199 --> 01:43:48,480
I just saw the church and they asked
where

1291
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:53,760
they
looked across the street and then this

1292
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:58,600
one's on the right side.
They said it was like two foot

1293
01:44:13,199 --> 01:44:19,400
» 25 What is that?
>> Is that

1294
01:44:29,679 --> 01:44:35,760
I think that about covered fine.
Everybody everything else pretty much

1295
01:44:32,719 --> 01:44:40,239
covered um in the meeting.
>> Okay.

1296
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:45,199
» Can I do this?
Uh, Madame President, uh, the last

1297
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:52,960
conference we had, I got a package from
this law firm, the KKK organization,

1298
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:57,600
and they deal with air properties and
and and stuff like that. I I told

1299
01:44:55,199 --> 01:45:03,679
Matthews I was going to get one for the
NAAC NAACP,

1300
01:45:00,719 --> 01:45:10,080
but uh
I think they do it for free.

1301
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:14,800
If you got air property and you don't
understand what's going on or you got

1302
01:45:12,159 --> 01:45:18,480
all these errors in it, they would do
this for free.

1303
01:45:16,480 --> 01:45:24,560
» So
the name of it is the KKK

1304
01:45:21,679 --> 01:45:28,800
organization.
Okay. Yeah, if you can get that

1305
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:32,880
» scanned in and distributed out, that'd
be helpful to attorneys, too.

1306
01:45:30,719 --> 01:45:37,360
» I sure did. Okay.
>> Um, as Mr. Dollar discussed, and I think

1307
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:42,000
Supervisor Jane said he wrote down
there, those those potholes are really

1308
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:45,760
bad at the port. Um, Mr. Dollar, we're
going to patch them for now until we

1309
01:45:43,440 --> 01:45:49,119
figure out this, including that state
aid. And I mean, it's it's really bad

1310
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:54,320
right there in the curb when you come
past the way station. Um, the only thing

1311
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:58,719
I want to talk about on when we talk
about tri-state and and GIS mapping,

1312
01:45:57,280 --> 01:46:02,800
kind of [snorts] like Supervisor Dre, I
use both of them, especially more now

1313
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:08,639
than I used to, but um, one thing I
always used um, GIS for was the

1314
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:11,040
political layers um because I have
people call me all the time want to

1315
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:15,040
know.
>> I know. Well, and she said they can do

1316
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:18,159
multiple layers. So Scott, just make a
note of that when we talk to whoever

1317
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:22,960
that that needs to stay in there because
it's not only for county and city, it's

1318
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:27,119
state offices. Um they pull up their
address and show where they vote, who

1319
01:46:24,719 --> 01:46:30,639
they vote for and which if I had a lot
of calls countywide and I look it up for

1320
01:46:29,199 --> 01:46:32,960
people. So we just need to make sure we
still have access to that.

1321
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:38,320
» Yeah, there's a couple other things too
like the zoning like regulations is

1322
01:46:36,159 --> 01:46:43,040
really useful for too, right?
>> So I just don't want us to lose I don't

1323
01:46:40,480 --> 01:46:47,440
want to lose the tool there. Correct.
Um,

1324
01:46:45,040 --> 01:46:49,360
» and I think that concludes my report.
>> Okay,

1325
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:52,560
» Madam President, the sheriff had
something he wanted to bring up.

1326
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:58,560
» Yes, I'm sorry. I knew it was one thing
I was forgetting. We need to return some

1327
01:46:55,119 --> 01:47:02,800
C's funds and
accounting already has the information

1328
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:07,360
over there in accounting funds back to
Justin King. And I need I just need the

1329
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:11,920
board to approve us doing it. DA's
aware, counter prosecutors. County

1330
01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:15,840
prosecutors aware,
but we need to return it to who?

1331
01:47:14,159 --> 01:47:18,320
» Justin King.
>> Do they have to go through the docket,

1332
01:47:17,600 --> 01:47:21,520
Scott?
>> Yes, it does. It's already It's already

1333
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:23,679
on the dock.
>> Oh, it's on the dock.

1334
01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:27,520
» Yes, sir. It's already on the dock.
>> It's approved, but I just need to make

1335
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:31,360
sure that Well, I didn't see the docket,
but I know it's on there since I got the

1336
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:35,280
email. I seen somebody else on there,
but I don't think I

1337
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:38,239
» don't think I seen

1355
01:48:33,679 --> 01:48:38,639
It showed that that uh was docketed on
the 7th. So that should have been on

1356
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,639
today's docket.
>> All right. Thank you.

1357
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:45,199
» Yes.
>> I appreciate you all. Thank you all.

1358
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:48,639
» Okay. Chancer,
>> I just have two items. Um need to spread

1359
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:52,000
across the minutes. The certificate from
the department of revenue um

1360
01:48:50,480 --> 01:48:57,440
acknowledging that we have submitted the
recap or that the assessor has submitted

1361
01:48:53,760 --> 01:49:00,239
the recap. Um and
for the 2026.

1362
01:48:58,719 --> 01:49:03,280
» You heard the request. Can I get a
motion?

1363
01:49:01,119 --> 01:49:09,199
» Got a motion by supervisor Militin and a

discussion? All in favor say I.
>> All oppose. The eyes have it. Motion

1365
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:17,920

>> And then I have an order from

1366
01:49:15,040 --> 01:49:21,360
Judges Ward and Davis. I need to spread
across the minutes. It is the

1367
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:25,920
resignation for Cherry Johnson, the
court administrator. Um, and it's dated

1368
01:49:23,679 --> 01:49:29,760
August the 7th, 2026. You heard the

1369
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:33,119

01:49:35,199 --> 01:49:40,639
» All oppose. Have the motion car. That's
all.

1372
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:45,760
» Okay. [snorts]
I'm trying to stop.

1373
01:49:43,440 --> 01:49:49,600
» There's a request for the National
Festival of Music for funding. I'm going

1374
01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:56,000
to get it over to the county
administrator for the appropriation

1375
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:59,000
sheet. She also has left me.
with

1376
01:49:59,440 --> 01:50:09,920
a couple of budget amendments.
One is to move $10,000 from fund. This

1377
01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:18,159
is sheriff's department
from fund I'm sorry, department 205

1378
01:50:14,639 --> 01:50:21,840
42 supposed to be fund 01 department 200
542

1379
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:27,679
into two different accounts. 5,000 for
tires and 5,000 for other equipment. So

1380
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:31,600
instead of repairs and maintenance,
you're moving to mobile equipment and

1381
01:50:30,480 --> 01:50:35,760
tires and tubes. You know what they're
talking about, Sheriff?

1382
01:50:33,440 --> 01:50:40,480
» Um I know they talk about the tires and
the other mobile equipment. They're

1383
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:47,239
working with dispatch over there. So I'm
not sure what specific piece of

1384
01:50:43,119 --> 01:50:47,239
equipment they're trying to trans.

1385
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:57,679
» Okay. There's another
for adult drug court. They want to move

1386
01:50:54,000 --> 01:51:01,920
$20,000 from travel and other substance
into two different accounts. A,000 into

1387
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:06,400
tires and tubes and 19,000 for
professional fees and services.

1388
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:10,960
There's a request
on the financing of some bids. We

1389
01:51:09,119 --> 01:51:16,000
received two quotes, one of them from
Concordia Bank,

1390
01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:22,560
one of them from Trustmark.
This is for the least purchase of a John

1391
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:30,080
Deere 544G wheel loader.
>> Okay. Don't we need those transfers?

1392
01:51:26,639 --> 01:51:33,040
» Yeah. Um believe that's the only
transfer. So

1393
01:51:31,119 --> 01:51:37,320
» could you repeat that transfer? Uh
please.

1394
01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:37,320
» Yeah. Okay. You're moving

1395
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:44,639
$10,000 from repairs and maintenance of
vehicles and putting 5,000 into tires

1396
01:51:42,159 --> 01:51:47,599
and tubes and 5,000 into other mobile
equipment. And that's in the sheriff's

1397
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:52,800
office.
>> Actually, Scott, I do know who that is.

1398
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:57,760
Our handheld radios, we have several
that are broken. So, we have to get them

1399
01:51:54,880 --> 01:52:01,440
repaired. So, we use that repair.
>> Okay, you heard the request. Going to

1400
01:51:59,199 --> 01:52:06,239
get a motion. Got a motion by Supervisor
Gang. Second by Supervisor Wilson. Any

1401
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:11,280
discussion?
>> All in favor say I.

1402
01:52:08,159 --> 01:52:16,800
» All oppose. I have it. Motion carried.
And then you have moving $20,000 within

1403
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:22,560
the fund or within within the department
of adult drug court travel and other

1404
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:27,760
substance. Uh you're taking $20,000 from
travel and other substance putting a,000

1405
01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:33,119
into tires and tubes and $19,000 into
professional fees and services.

1406
01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:35,599
» You heard the request.
>> So move.

1407
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:38,000
» Got a motion by Supervisor Wilson.
>> Second.

1408
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:40,719
» Second by Supervisor Gangs. Any
discussion?

1409
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:45,280
» Yes, ma'am. Uh, it's got professional
fees and service. What What does that

1410
01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:50,560
consist of over there?
>> I hate to be smart, but it's typically

1411
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:54,639
for some sort of professional such as,
you know, counselors or something of

1412
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:57,760
those nature. Doesn't say what it is.
This is it's just a request from your

1413
01:52:55,840 --> 01:53:02,159
county administrator. Usually, your
adult drug courts are grant funded and

1414
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:06,080
they have to get approval from their
grant source before they do any of this

1415
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:08,080
stuff. And it's they typically we we pay
the money and they reimburse us. That's

1416
01:53:07,599 --> 01:53:10,560
it.
>> Thank you.

1417
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:14,400
» All in favor say I.
>> I.

1418
01:53:11,119 --> 01:53:19,679
» All oppose. I second. Motion carried.
>> And then there's a request for lease

1419
01:53:16,480 --> 01:53:29,360
purchase financing.
And there's a 5-year term at 4.75%

1420
01:53:26,159 --> 01:53:34,920
with Concordia Bank and Trust. You want
to go the 5year or the three-year? You

1421
01:53:31,599 --> 01:53:34,920
think, Robbie?

1422
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:46,719
Threeyear. All right. It's a 4.5% on a
threeyear.

1423
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:50,040
I've saw the quotes over there.
Here they are.

1424
01:53:59,440 --> 01:54:02,480
» Motion.
>> That's good.

1425
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:06,000
» Can I get a motion?
>> Got a motion by Supervisor Wilson. Can I

1426
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:10,800
have a second? Second,
>> second by supervisor Gangs. Any

1427
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:15,880
discussion? All in favor say I.
>> All oppose have motion carried over.

1428
01:54:17,199 --> 01:54:20,920
And then we have a

1429
01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:30,040
Delta Bank
here.

1430
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:30,040
The lower

1431
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:42,000
we have three year
uh 2026 GMC 2500

1432
01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:49,840
year for Delta is 3 point I'm sorry
4.32%. The next lowest was 4.5%.

1433
01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:52,320
Motion to accept that as lease purchase.
So moved.

1434
01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:55,280
» Got a motion by Supervisor Wilson. Can I
get a second? Second.

1435
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:58,480
» Second by Supervisor Gains. Any
discussion?

1436
01:54:56,560 --> 01:55:04,480
» All in favor say I.
>> All oppose. Have it. Motion carried.

1437
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:11,360
» She's proposing for budget hearings that
we could hear

1438
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:15,040
on Monday, August 24th at 9:00 a.m. I
guess that's where we start. We do

1439
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:19,599
thank you
>> an hour before we have road departments

1440
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:23,920
and sheriff's department. So you'd have
meet at Monday at 9:00 and then the road

1441
01:55:22,560 --> 01:55:27,440
department would meet at 10:00 and
sheriff's department would meet at

1442
01:55:25,199 --> 01:55:31,280
11:00. That'd be August 24th. They all
want to do that.

1443
01:55:29,679 --> 01:55:34,480
» No, we don't have we can wait till
recess to decide.

1444
01:55:33,360 --> 01:55:38,400
» August 24th.
>> Yes, sir. My guess is that first hour

1445
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:43,320
you'd also handle your appropriations,
too.

1446
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:43,320
I'll get on.

1447
01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:51,920
» I get on the phone.
>> You want to get on?

1448
01:55:51,280 --> 01:55:55,239
» I get on the phone.
>> Is it 9?

1449
01:55:56,080 --> 01:56:00,000
» Is that okay with you?
>> Yeah. What time is it?

1450
01:55:58,639 --> 01:56:05,239
» 10.
>> Sheriff, is that okay with you?

1451
01:56:02,239 --> 01:56:05,239
» Yes.

1452
01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:16,560
make sure to call.
>> And if we did that, she'd have a

1453
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:21,280
finalized budget on August 25th.
>> And we finalize. We can run over all the

1454
01:56:20,239 --> 01:56:24,000
budgets. We're going to be able to run
over all the budgets. That mean

1455
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:29,119
» That's right. Because they're we have to
submit for advertising by August 26.

1456
01:56:27,599 --> 01:56:32,800
» But when we going with the other
departments?

1457
01:56:31,280 --> 01:56:35,360
Um,
the only ones we have set are for the

1458
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:40,239
road department and the sheriff's
department and then a an hour with the

1459
01:56:37,679 --> 01:56:43,520
with the uh board.
Y'all want to see the other departments?

1460
01:56:42,159 --> 01:56:47,119
Is there any other department?
>> If any other departments ain't got no

1461
01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:50,159
increases or decreases, we got to find
out if there's any increases or

1462
01:56:48,719 --> 01:56:55,119
decreases in
>> I think so. So I think she's under the

1463
01:56:52,320 --> 01:57:01,119
impression that our goal is to reduce
millage like we had talked about and so

1464
01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:06,719
there's not really going to be a lot of
increases. It's going to be trying to be

1465
01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:10,159
cuts. So I'm not
speaking out of order. I'm not I'm just

1466
01:57:08,320 --> 01:57:12,000
telling my impression of withdrawal and
what she's talking about.

1467
01:57:11,119 --> 01:57:15,840
» I agree.
>> So I don't really see reason to have a

1468
01:57:14,080 --> 01:57:19,360
bunch of departments march in ask for
raise and us tell them KP raise last

1469
01:57:17,679 --> 01:57:22,480
year can't this year. So, have the
school district submitted whatever they

1470
01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:25,199
had to submit to us?
>> Yeah, that's an item or that that's

1471
01:57:23,840 --> 01:57:29,920
something I wanted to talk about, too.
Is so August 24th, you can be available

1472
01:57:28,159 --> 01:57:33,360
by phone, Madam President, and that's
that's good for the rest of you. Okay,

1473
01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:38,480
I'll let her know that that's when we
can we can set it and do it if that's

1474
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:45,280
good.
And that would leave us with a August 26

1475
01:57:42,159 --> 01:57:53,119
budget advertisement be ready be
submitted over to uh Democrat and that

1476
01:57:50,719 --> 01:57:55,440
will set us for a September 15th budget
hearing and we can finalize it on that

1477
01:57:54,880 --> 01:57:58,800
day.
>> Okay.

1478
01:57:57,280 --> 01:58:06,719
» Um
so I know that the school has did a

1479
01:58:03,679 --> 01:58:13,520
resolution asking for additional money.
They asked for, you know, approximately

1480
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:20,320
400 more $400,000 more dollars. I asked
Brandy if she had received that uh

1481
01:58:17,119 --> 01:58:24,320
request yet. She said she had not. I
had, but I've seen with my own eyes the

1482
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:30,080
the document. I know that that they had
given it over to u

1483
01:58:27,440 --> 01:58:36,080
what's it called to
>> upstairs one, I'm sorry.

1484
01:58:32,719 --> 01:58:40,800
Uh so we could reach out to them and say
we need the certified copy of the

All in favor say I.
>> All oppose. Eyes have it. Motion.

Okay.

Yeah, this is a new high

rate increase. This must be from one
thing to another. I got a rate increase

I need a motion.
Move.

That's all I have here. Oh yeah, I need

1514
02:01:17,199 --> 02:01:21,840

02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:26,960
» Second.
>> Second by Supervisor Gray. Any

1516
02:01:23,679 --> 02:01:32,599
discussion? All in favor say I.
>> All oppose. The eyes have it. Motion

1517
02:01:29,599 --> 02:01:32,599
carried.

1518
02:01:33,119 --> 02:01:42,320
I heard this I I want to say this. I
heard this phrase at a conference

1519
02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:48,400
um the last conference we went to
and

1520
02:01:44,320 --> 02:01:53,599
it kind of hit Natches a little bit.
It says

1521
02:01:50,480 --> 02:02:01,119
we live in a world today
where there's so much wrong being done

1522
02:01:57,280 --> 02:02:08,239
until people do not accept the ones who
are doing right.

1523
02:02:03,840 --> 02:02:13,520
is so much wrong being done
to people do not accept the ones who are

1524
02:02:11,199 --> 02:02:21,040
doing right.
And then it says

1525
02:02:16,080 --> 02:02:27,480
there are so many lies being told
until the people don't believe the truth

1526
02:02:24,480 --> 02:02:27,480
anymore.

1527
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:41,960
» That is sad. That's true
>> to people are not believing the truth

1528
02:02:36,960 --> 02:02:41,960
because of the lies being told.

1529
02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:50,239
I don't know why
[snorts]

1530
02:02:47,520 --> 02:02:54,679
we're doing this
or trying to kill people characters.

1531
02:02:55,679 --> 02:03:00,719
But still the truth will hold some
weight.

1532
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:11,239
And people understand
and I just had to bring that back when I

1533
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:11,239
heard that

1534
02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:23,320
people are dying today
and it's hitting closer and closer to

1535
02:03:20,320 --> 02:03:23,320
home.

1536
02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:33,000
Instead of us tearing this community
down, we need to be building it. We had

1537
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:33,000
a

1538
02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:42,320
more like ground breaking
of a expense [snorts]

1539
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:48,320
$5.75
million

1540
02:03:44,239 --> 02:03:57,040
last week with fishery industry.
is spent is spending for an expansion.

1541
02:03:53,520 --> 02:04:03,760
And when people hear this and read
all these lives,

1542
02:03:59,520 --> 02:04:07,679
that kills this community.
We need to be building this community

1543
02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:13,599
and as leaders, we definitely need to be
building instead of taking it down. I

1544
02:04:11,119 --> 02:04:21,199
just want to say
>> madam president

1545
02:04:16,320 --> 02:04:27,920
uh last meeting this is August and on my
chart it says

1546
02:04:24,159 --> 02:04:36,360

and fund balance code 19125. Have we

1547
02:04:32,239 --> 02:04:36,360
ever got a fund balance?

1548
02:04:36,400 --> 02:04:44,119
» Is this from the clerk's office? Now

1549
02:04:40,639 --> 02:04:44,119
is on my

1550
02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:57,920
» I saying it come who does it come from
this

1551
02:04:56,159 --> 02:05:00,920
» what's the number 191
>> 1911

1552
02:05:00,960 --> 02:05:05,880
» 1911
>> 23

1553
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:05,880
» 23

1554
02:05:12,239 --> 02:05:17,480
That's one of the reports we supposed to
receive.

1555
02:05:27,920 --> 02:05:31,719
It's been slow today.

1556
02:05:49,599 --> 02:05:53,159
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

1557
02:05:57,760 --> 02:06:03,280
» Okay.
>> I can ask.

1558
02:06:02,239 --> 02:06:07,280
» Okay.
>> I need a motion for reset. Not recess.

1559
02:06:06,239 --> 02:06:10,159
Close.
>> Close determination.

1560
02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:15,679
» Something we'll say. Have a motion by
supervisor G. Second by supervisor

1561
02:06:12,400 --> 02:06:20,679
Miller. Any discussion please? All say
