[0:00] Okay. No one here. Morning, everyone. It's Tuesday, July 7th, 2026, 8 a.m., Barnes County commission

[0:11] meeting. We do have a little bit of an echo because our sealant is gone because of the

[0:18] for those of you that are listening, a roll call, please.

[0:24] Here.

[0:28] Here.

[0:30] So I'll stand by saying the pledge.

[0:33] The pledge to the United States of America, and to the Republic

[0:39] for which it stands, won the nation, under a doubt, indivisible,

[0:52] In the agenda corrections that anybody's aware of,

[1:00] approval of the agenda.

[1:02] Second.

[1:04] Motion and second. Is there any discussion?

[1:08] All in favor say aye.

[1:09] Aye.

[1:11] Any public comment?

[1:13] No, please.

[1:14] Okay. Auditors office.

[1:17] Everybody's got a coffee in the minutes.

[1:20] Anybody

[1:23] got any questions or any kind of motion?

[1:51] Is there a second?

[1:56] Motion second.

[1:57] Any further discussion?

[2:00] All in favor say aye.

[2:02] Both same time.

[2:06] HVAC system.

[2:27] We're going to set up the calculation, we're going to put it in, and also I had 500,000

[2:53] And then if you touch base anymore, up north at the bank there, I reached out to her,

[3:05] But that's been probably a month ago again now, but why don't you get older, contact her today, or if you get a chance, or long?

[3:16] Might as well start the ball rolling and get it done.

[3:19] So was that a grant coming over to get it for the board or not?

[3:24] Well, we did get 56,000 out of the $500,000 account of that.

[3:32] Yeah.

[3:34] But it all keeps trickling in and all keeps up.

[3:39] So I'll vote to China, but it's still moving in the water.

[3:53] Well, I was going to talk in commission discussion, but I can't allow everybody to do that.

[4:01] Yeah.

[4:02] Yeah.

[4:03] Anything you see is pretty much new, except for like colliding.

[4:09] Yeah.

[4:11] That's units.

[4:15] So they pretty much got this in every office so far.

[4:20] Yeah, she went on a radio and she gone, what are we doing with that?

[4:26] I thought we were going to just leave that alone.

[4:28] I thought we were two.

[4:30] I don't know if that's my name.

[4:32] I like it better without it, by the way.

[4:34] Yeah, I think I thought we were leaving for it, but clearly.

[4:39] See, we had to not be quite getting that plumbing to them.

[4:42] Yeah, that's what's all the need to go in.

[4:44] Is that all part of the cost project?

[4:46] Yeah.

[4:51] Anything else from your joy?

[5:03] So you guys are doing that conference and then you do the conference in the fall with the rest of us, the rest of them don't.

[5:13] Or

[5:17] are we just going to contact banks on the code and see where we're at?

[5:21] Getting our own application there?

[5:23] Yeah, getting made our own application.

[5:24] No, it's just a matter whenever we want to restart it.

[5:27] We're selling it like $200.

[5:30] That's kind of why I was waiting until we got a little closer so we knew exactly what we wanted.

[5:35] I tried to print out this, what you sent us.

[5:39] And this is what it looks like for printing this little bit.

[5:45] that HVAC balance that you sent out, that, yeah, so can I get a copy of that?

[5:51] Sure.

[5:51] Thank you.

[5:53] Yeah, well this is what it looks like.

[5:55] I'm sure that's what it's going to print.

[5:56] It's going to be a type of print.

[5:58] What's that?

[5:59] Maybe it's something that the spreadsheet from where they're at on the whole project.

[6:04] That's what it's going to be.

[6:06] That's what it's going to be.

[6:07] No, for the company, not what we've spent, but where we're at on the whole project.

[6:12] Yeah, it's good like we didn't school and stuff. You get a monthly thing. It's okay, this part, this part is 30 percent.

[6:20] Here's what they all where we're all totally at.

[6:24] When they're changed again.

[6:26] When I mean it'd be nice to see where we're right at.

[6:28] Yeah.

[6:30] Right.

[6:33] Thanks. Still good.

[6:34] That means nothing here, but that's what I think when, if they're having meetings, which I'm sure they're doing.

[6:38] Yeah.

[6:38] I've got to have a project

[6:45] report and we're not stating any of that.

[6:49] So the meeting that I went to was at two weeks ago today.

[6:55] We

[6:57] were having some issues with patient

[7:05] and not getting words back to us

[7:08] which we all the people working here needed.

[7:12] and I called up the main diet headquarters there and I said I need you at the

[7:20] meeting that we're having on Tuesday and I said I will be there that's the day I

[7:25] talked to you there and I'm gonna try to be there and I said no you will be

[7:31] there and he was there so he was both of them were there and we went back and

[7:38] forth over everything and some of the contractors aren't getting the answers that they always

[7:45] need.

[7:45] Chain isn't getting the answers, always any needs, and when I left, I said here's the thing.

[7:54] I said, communication is going to start turning around.

[7:59] I said, you guys failed us the first time.

[8:02] I said we didn't go back with you and I said it needs to change, and this is how it's

[8:08] going to happen. And I guess everything is way better. So they're getting

[8:14] answered when they have questions on what isn't going to work and what is

[8:18] going to work. The day that I was there, they were wondering about some law. And I

[8:24] haven't heard back since. But where internet comes into the building was going to

[8:30] be right where they're going to do some digging outside. And I haven't heard what

[8:34] What they determined to do on that, and I don't know if Shane even has a claim on that yet,

[8:40] but Shane was just getting a little frustrated because he wasn't yet in any answers.

[8:44] And I said, there's no reason that it's got to fall on you.

[8:46] I said, let me know.

[8:47] And that's when I went to the meeting.

[8:49] The engineer, or whatever.

[8:51] Yeah.

[8:53] So anyway, I think we got it all straight.

[8:55] No.

[8:56] Pat was there.

[8:56] I was there.

[8:57] Shane was there from the county side.

[9:01] and we got to where we needed to be.

[9:08] Otherwise, I think we're pretty much on schedule

[9:10] with how everything was going.

[9:13] I can now change, put something together,

[9:15] if everybody wants something in an email quick,

[9:17] or something, tell everybody where the progress is.

[9:21] We heard.

[9:25] So I think we got a lot changed.

[9:28] But I was gonna get on that,

[9:29] during the commission discussion.

[9:35] What do you got for us?

[9:36] over that far away.

[9:38] Okay, 2

[9:45] ,141 miles, 235 calls, seven appointments via 38 rides, and 146 walk-ins.

[9:55] Our van is sitting at a total of 101,000 miles.

[9:58] I went up there and talked to her the other day and talked to Bob.

[10:01] We got the bumper fix from the van, looks fine.

[10:05] Yeah, I seen the bill, I'm curious.

[10:07] Yeah, it's right 5600 bucks. We had to pay over the deductible maybe. I mean just I looked at it.

[10:14] I think we had $500 enough.

[10:17] Looks good. It just took a lot of things apart simply.

[10:21] I talked about it. I said, how you keep it up? Drive in.

[10:24] That we can then slowly only have two days ahead of work.

[10:29] Who have not had any luck getting somebody to drive.

[10:32] So they keep looking and they got up there and down the kinds of stuff, talking to them and I talk to everybody I know.

[10:39] And so far he's deep enough and he's not going over part-time hours.

[10:44] So some are usually slower because he said people get rides for a friend in the air and they go shop and

[10:49] borrow so they get another ride down or something anyway.

[10:53] So I don't know what we're going to do moving forward about another ride, you know, a system.

[10:59] maybe toward the following, or maybe some way to pop up,

[11:02] I don't know, she's had different people, she calls them.

[11:06] And they don't, a lot of it's five, six in the morning,

[11:08] you know, if you get to get to the V8 by six there,

[11:11] you're quite aware that a lot of people

[11:13] just aren't interested in that part of it.

[11:16] So, I don't know what we're gonna do,

[11:18] that's where we're sitting on it.

[11:19] So, like I said, for now, it's slowed down.

[11:22] So, Bob is keeping up, and he's fine with working.

[11:25] as he needs to because one or two of the mornings a week he said he gets his hand done and gets his

[11:31] shorts on so we had an airport meeting yesterday and they they had sold their old big motor and

[11:39] they're getting a new or new one they're all been 30-year-old John here so they sold it and they got

[11:46] 46,000 dollars they put it up for sale and they got one guy called above it and nobody else at all

[11:57] and they didn't have to, some of them have, I'm saying,

[12:00] bought on my grants and stuff, so they checked with everybody

[12:04] they've got a grant from, and it had been enough years

[12:07] they said, just, keep the money and put it towards new.

[12:11] So they're getting a newer use one from general equipment.

[12:15] It's not here yet because it's still being used

[12:19] until there in the market, it's here.

[12:20] but mostly it's no removal, so it's not a big deal.

[12:24] So, uh, they had a good month for gas sales,

[12:28] and people apparently were flying a lot,

[12:31] and the good price of the gas is like $5.30,

[12:34] or something, for that app gas.

[12:37] But I guess that's dropping too,

[12:38] so they don't want to keep too much on hand

[12:42] for inventory in case it drops a lot.

[12:45] And, uh, that fly-in breakfast that the group

[12:48] that was going to put it on did not, so there was no flying

[12:51] breakfast that they had breakfast for the actual people

[12:54] who had just been piloting.

[12:57] Which was disappointing because a lot of people like that.

[13:00] So try harder to find somebody next year.

[13:04] The dance team had been doing it.

[13:05] They didn't want to do it this year.

[13:07] So they thought that somebody else lined up and had fell

[13:10] through a class and then quit the development

[13:17] We had special meeting from the A part of it, and we toured some sites, there's a small feed processing plant looking at an area to set the feed plant, take pellets, and they're looking at some different sites, so we toured a few sites that were possible again.

[13:36] It would push print and see what you get.

[13:39] Nothing would have decided yet.

[13:40] Just push print and see where you get.

[13:43] It gets a little dinged right.

[13:44] Right, I think it was.

[13:45] Clip spot.

[13:46] And then I did sit on the canvas and wore it after a long time.

[13:51] Didn't do it.

[13:52] I actually took quite a while because I put them a while ago

[13:54] with the new stuff in me.

[13:57] I think there was,

[13:58] for a couple of hours we had to look over and

[14:02] appeal, because the signatures weren't great, but it looks possible.

[14:07] I am clear for this to actually gain in most part too late, so we didn't allow that by the law you can.

[14:13] Right.

[14:15] And it's the most similar towards me.

[14:18] Yeah.

[14:18] I think it's what I thought.

[14:20] If they're both part of the election.

[14:22] So that would be difficult.

[14:24] Yeah.

[14:26] Right.

[14:27] This year they're both part of the day out of the election.

[14:29] Right.

[14:30] So, you have a single level of 4.

[14:34] So, what did you do?

[14:36] I think we should say, oh.

[14:38] So, you can make a comment on this book.

[14:41] Click here and you said that the telephone was my streaming.

[14:43] You said the telephone was my streaming.

[14:45] The telephone was my streaming.

[14:47] Yeah, there was just a little A and L on the group that was on it.

[14:52] We had a two or two directors.

[14:54] And all of them doing their job.

[14:56] I already am taking care of it.

[15:00] Where do they have a site where they think they can bump into this building? None of the sites had everything they needed. So, you know, they want natural gas, they want interstate, they want railroad, they want everything, and none of the sites had everything. And everything is expensive to put it. You want to run natural gas, it's million dollars, you want to put a railroad, it's worth millions of dollars, so.

[15:39] I was hearing on the radio this morning that they're increasing the size of the natural gas

[15:45] that's coming from the Boston to here.

[15:49] Sorry.

[15:50] It started on a 36-inch line, and it was 48-inch.

[15:53] No, no.

[15:55] And that's coming right down to the valley,

[15:56] another big part of it.

[15:58] So, about three miles away from the land.

[16:01] So I hope to pay one off.

[16:05] Let's see, two, three years out,

[16:08] two, three, two, three, two, three, two, three, two,

[16:11] Yeah.

[16:11] We're going to have to find the...

[16:21] Sean.

[16:22] and

[16:43] we're dedicating a cake to that. I had to go up to the jail and grab one of those cakes that we had left over.

[16:54] I hope we go to that.

[16:55] So what about second? Social services on work over time.

[17:00] They

[17:19] were more productive when they were actually forced to come into work.

[17:27] Oh, they are. They're not doing normal.

[17:29] Okay.

[18:03] Maybe

[21:49] they're waiting for us to decide what we're going to do.

[22:20] We talked about the rural entry gun this

[22:41] week on the ninth,

[22:42] but they're going to work on that.

[22:44] So we get done Friday's kind of a short service day for them.

[22:49] So they're going to start 30 days, so it really won't affect anything down there.

[23:02] And now we've got 19.

[23:17] And 19 is that how often do they go to those places?

[23:22] It's all on a rotating schedule.

[23:23] I guess I couldn't say if they're every day of age or whatever, but that's what they

[23:28] want to build up, because we went through a bunch of other things here or get to it.

[23:33] Other time we talked about was no, with upstairs, where we're looking to see who we want to

[23:41] rent to, because Miller's out of there as a dream.

[23:44] So we'll start talking about that in the next month.

[23:46] So, what we can do there, and they're trying to find what's the best high that works in that building, you know, who we can rent, too.

[23:55] There's even another little section that maybe could be used, but...

[23:59] Yeah, no bigger room here.

[24:02] One wouldn't be very good.

[24:04] The elevator spot's not real big up there, but then there's a room just down the hall that could go to for different things there.

[24:13] But Bill, if you look at that one up there, it's not great at all, but that it is, not really.

[24:20] What did they move to?

[24:23] They're down and they're done.

[24:24] They're not on the other side anymore.

[24:26] Have you been here?

[24:27] Have you been here?

[24:28] Grandly just kept the office up there.

[24:30] Oh, okay.

[24:31] There might have been one element on that one.

[24:34] That space is available, what we're going to do with that.

[24:38] They had this rim thing upstairs.

[24:40] We're going to move that down the stairs, just because of the staffing right now.

[24:44] because there's a room down right off the,

[24:49] that we're going to try to,

[24:52] is that we can just pull

[24:53] in there and swap the process and run it upstairs and down. So we start looking at a little bit of

[25:01] expenditures where we have made broke down like

[25:10] $975 a month,

[25:18] $1 a month, that's mostly vaccines,

[25:20] where that comes soon. Home health average is $1694 a month,

[25:30] number 33, $100 a month. So

[25:32] They're

[25:35] in with the server and free for service the revenues are down.

[25:41] So they've

[25:46] been a little bit of strain on what they can operate with the flow being and

[25:50] out to them.

[25:56] The payment from many here in the area was late and they were getting none now from April.

[26:00] You know, 50 value members that come up with the cares out there, there's flow getting

[26:04] in.

[26:04] Oh, sure.

[26:05] So how much of a change is going to get in my room?

[26:09] You get the same thing as those, but that's what we're trying to work through again.

[26:14] read in some stuff in the old mouth and that's where they're going to be looking to probably hire their right now is of

[26:22] The last time I talked to me a couple weeks ago. She hadn't had nothing yet. So she's gonna try to read

[26:27] Play with how it was baptized. Maybe it was coming off. It was too big a job and once it was a coordinator not like running

[26:33] Thanks. So she was gonna try to renew the ads for that.

[26:41] They're

[26:42] But right now they have a shorter with one on the turn to leave and in place, yes, so they're short about them right now.

[26:51] That's what it is. They're moving ahead and we're going to have to build them back up a little bit, if we hadn't taken a lot out of them.

[26:57] Or if they take a lot of positions out of there, if we wanted to try to bring it back up, we had to hire a warning.

[27:04] No. That might reflect us when we bring the budget up where we need to add something to keep ahead.

[27:18] So HUD had their budget audit and they had no flaws, which is great, but then the people

[27:29] that had the budget or that were doing audit put paperwork in the wrong folder so they

[27:36] had to go through the folders so they didn't redo stuff.

[27:39] So I thought that was interesting anyway.

[27:44] South Central Regional Council, I just sent you guys

[27:47] a part of that health care grant program thing.

[27:53] They've now individualized different things

[27:56] that are coming out at different times.

[27:59] So if you want to send them on to different things,

[28:04] they're actually opening up.

[28:05] It's a weird system now.

[28:07] So, like right now, the funding for school-based wellness equipment funding and hospital-based

[28:19] wellness equipment in the funding and electronic medical record funding are all out there too,

[28:26] actually, try to apply for.

[28:29] herself. And she's trying to work with the schools, she's trying to go with other community

[28:36] entities to see if something will tie and they could kind of push, run it through there.

[28:41] She's working on some of the stuff that you're sending out.

[28:43] Yeah, but the whole idea is that each time it's kind of individualizing instead of one.

[28:49] So there's great big 500 million that they were given now has been picking along.

[28:55] It still looks like it's weird.

[28:57] You rolled down with it?

[28:59] All impressed.

[29:01] Yeah, it's getting weird.

[29:06] So, hiring department, we went up there,

[29:10] Bill and I went for some interviews,

[29:12] and we hired three.

[29:14] We also fired one.

[29:16] So, now we're going to be ready to schedule with full.

[29:24] We got really good applicants then.

[29:31] Yes, they filled it, but they're going to be running out of here.

[29:34] It's a days off.

[29:37] How did they come on their sail?

[29:41] Actually, pretty good.

[29:43] I can't remember what she said they got for the end or the side down.

[29:49] 14 or 17,000, but I don't see that in a bit.

[29:52] Yeah, and I think we got 10 or 11 for the truck.

[30:00] God, I want to say, it was at 40, we got for that turn, can't be. You know, the bicycle, you know, I'm going to say it was 40, shouldn't we? Yeah, must not have been bad, that's better. No, it was way better. It's like, she didn't look at the end. It looked, yeah, it looked bad, it looked bad. It was 14 or 17 or something. So we didn't go wrong on that. So it was a much better shape than we thought.

[30:28] If somebody else doesn't know what a day for it could have been done.

[30:33] Yeah, that's right I see we had that 21 feet of bill told you the town what happened there

[30:44] You know I don't you'll be charge us we had a bunch of tall

[30:51] I don't remember what you told me just on July 29th it's just a few days before we go

[31:03] I don't know which was the newer ones we got.

[31:07] I don't remember.

[31:08] I don't remember her saying anything to me.

[31:15] Did you have anything else, Becky?

[31:17] I was going to ask about budgets.

[31:20] We were usually spending some of this extra time that we had

[31:23] at meetings to go over budget stuff.

[31:26] Do you have anything for us, June?

[31:28] I worked on it and I did the printouts and I did that once I get those, it will also be ready.

[31:35] Okay, do you schedule in meetings already?

[31:38] Well, that's something I was going to bring up whenever you guys are available.

[31:43] I'm going to bring that up, I'm going to come with you to the special.

[31:46] You see one, we're going to start through the idea of starting.

[31:52] Because they're supposed to have all their stuff in to you by now, right?

[32:13] So how long until you think you got a quarter of you need to be

[32:19] ready after you get back from the union?

[32:25] Okay, and let's get to something for like a five o'clock and we'll see how far we're getting.

[32:30] Any new people try

[32:38] to try to do it after commission meeting to back that a lot spent an hour on the end of the commission meeting.

[32:48] to be able to get back to work if they need to, to, for that, to compete need to work

[32:54] better.

[32:55] Oh, so I said let's shoot at five o'clock some days, see where we go.

[33:05] I mean last year we spent more time on it than we ever had.

[33:13] So you get that going and then let's...

[33:16] I don't know, any of these are not work printing?

[33:21] I'm not crazy about Friday, but that's just because

[33:24] I'm not crazy about Friday, but I don't care.

[33:26] Can we move to the stage and sing?

[33:29] Fine.

[33:30] Well, do we move by and zoning to the only negative display here?

[33:35] There are, I will be having a meeting for the library

[33:38] on a Thursday towards the end of the month, like 23rd.

[33:43] That's the only day that I have right now

[33:45] that I have a meeting.

[33:45] There's

[33:49] 14 to five.

[33:53] Two is there.

[33:54] Next week, Tuesday.

[33:55] Chair, what starter if it works for everybody?

[33:58] I mean, I have to go on the look, but I think I'm good.

[34:04] This is going to look when it could ingest

[34:06] to move that evening as much down.

[34:09] It's going to be small that day.

[34:11] One

[34:20] year or two then.

[34:26] We'll go as far as we can on that day,

[34:28] and then look for another one.

[34:30] Where do you have to publish these in advance?

[34:35] to the 16th I can't because my wife's got a doctor's appointment and we're happy with it.

[34:47] I'm fine with whatever.

[34:49] It's all time the game, but I can miss it.

[34:52] It wasn't interesting, I'm missing it.

[34:53] It's because I couldn't figure it out.

[34:56] Today, two nights on a row, I'm good for that too.

[34:59] Do you want to do that?

[35:00] I don't want to do that.

[35:06] Well, I need to go home and check my calendar.

[35:08] The 15 sounds like there was something on the 15.

[35:13] But that might not.

[35:13] That was during the day.

[35:15] So, yeah.

[35:17] Okay.

[35:18] I think that was during the day.

[35:20] I should be good. 14.50.

[35:24] That's what I just looked at.

[35:26] Do we have anything major?

[35:29] We have like three or four hearings.

[35:31] Do you want to understand five?

[35:34] 30 bills.

[35:35] That's 16.

[35:37] How about?

[35:38] 50.

[35:38] We moved into this.

[35:39] How about six that budget meeting?

[35:43] Which you guys think does like five.

[35:44] You're going to need to five.

[35:46] What do we want?

[35:52] So why don't we just do Tuesday and then Tuesday the 21st?

[35:56] We'd be done by 6.30 anyway, we want to start out late, it don't matter for me.

[36:01] Do you want to do two Tuesday nights a week apart?

[36:10] I'm going with that if you guys want to do the 14th and then the 21st.

[36:17] May night, Tuesday, good, too.

[36:19] Monday nights, good, too. Are you good on the day?

[36:21] Are you ready to roll on next Monday?

[36:23] You know Monday Tuesday.

[36:27] I

[36:32] don't see it probably be better because I'm not thirsty for anything.

[36:35] Right.

[36:36] Yeah.

[36:36] So it would be a scrambler here for TQ shed.

[36:42] Yeah.

[36:43] I mean, I just got granted.

[36:44] It's getting the most nights.

[36:45] I mean, it's like missing.

[36:47] I was a worker on that.

[36:49] Yeah.

[36:49] We just miss it.

[36:51] I think mine and the main thing that I think will be done next.

[36:53] I would think if you were going to have Wednesday, that would give you just a little bit of time.

[36:59] I think we want to check.

[37:00] 13.

[37:01] Well, that's only, why don't we just do the 14th and 2st day, the 21st, a week apart.

[37:11] It's okay with 2 to 6, I don't have bowling yet, so I'm good.

[37:23] Oh, why don't we just do the 14th and decide next week?

[37:27] Let's just start one, see what we're at, everybody can look at their schedule a little bit

[37:31] Yeah, I mean, like Monday to the 20th, I don't have anything.

[37:41] Why did I decide to?

[37:44] If you want to schedule Monday the 20th, then?

[37:47] I'm going to say I'm going to do that.

[37:49] You sobered right then?

[37:51] Am I sober?

[37:53] We can go over.

[37:57] Yeah, I sobered.

[38:00] Don't do any of that stuff.

[38:01] I had one target in.

[38:03] What was it for?

[38:05] If we don't need to do it, you can't do it.

[38:07] Yeah, there you go.

[38:09] Right on Monday at the 20 and then Monday the 20th and the 14th.

[38:13] Okay.

[38:19] Yeah.

[38:21] We've got to get started.

[38:22] Right.

[38:23] We're going to have some other residues to come in.

[38:26] You know, when we're getting funding cuts from everybody,

[38:29] and we don't have any more money to spend.

[38:33] I mean, there's places they're going to have to,

[38:35] we're going to have to start looking at that.

[38:37] If we want to keep your services that we do.

[38:50] We did 20, we didn't have 20 first.

[38:53] 20 is Monday night and 14 is those two days a week before.

[38:58] So we're really working in the 20s right now?

[39:00] Are you good at it?

[39:03] I'm good.

[39:04] 20 first and right now another meeting meeting.

[39:13] Okay, so we got that taken care of.

[39:15] Did you have anything else?

[39:16] No, that wasn't it.

[39:19] I talked about the heating.

[39:20] How

[39:35] was last week? Last week.

[39:41] When did you start your Friday?

[39:48] That's on my hand.

[39:51] How's our December work on December? No, that's not until August, they send.

[39:56] Are we in the middle of the summer? So I talked to Ryan yesterday and there's a house in college.

[40:02] They said they were going to put in quite a few culprits before. I see we had a big bill

[40:07] from night to night room for great reading or mental late. Does that part of the

[40:12] assembly project? No, that's different, besides.

[40:16] Okay, that's a lot more work than I do in the work.

[40:20] Is that a common room?

[40:22] Apparently, I'll speak to a group of eight board members.

[40:26] That's not an area. That's over on that side, don't waste it.

[40:31] Yeah, what's the... That where we go and build up to.

[40:35] Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[40:37] Yes, a lot of rip racks were in over there.

[40:40] We're doing any under there.

[40:42] I don't know exactly what they're doing,

[40:44] but they got the grant.

[40:46] So it's through the, I think, the funding for where...

[40:53] Was that one of those fun projects

[40:56] where you got a lot of money from?

[40:57] Yeah.

[40:58] Okay.

[40:59] Very dog or whatever the heck they got.

[41:03] Flex, there we go, flex.

[41:05] We've been beating that kind of all those programs and coming up pretty good on them, and I'm sorry.

[41:14] Anybody got anything else?

[41:17] That's like a budgeting.

[41:18] It's going to be hard.

[41:19] There ain't just this one expensive.

[41:22] There ain't no car cap in every week.

[41:24] So next year when we do budgeting, we ask each of the departments to cut their budget like 2%.

[41:34] so that we won't have to be the ones that have to be so mean and cut them.

[41:38] Well, you can cut them 2% this year. I mean, I have to do all that for both.

[41:43] I could be here too. For some of you, perhaps it's like AC's where they had all that extra

[41:47] things and stuff. That's a trouble on me.

[41:49] I mean, she doesn't usually have to be the ones that she needs.

[41:54] Right. And I give that. There's about two or maybe three departments that aren't employed.

[42:02] There's a lot of them, don't worry.

[42:06] I've been used a good chair for the jail in highway in this batch.

[42:12] And I know the highway is going to ask for another road for you.

[42:17] And I mean, you can see our jail expenses every month, it's just a pile.

[42:23] So I mean, our specialty is going up and our income doesn't.

[42:27] So where is it going to go?

[42:28] Well, I see what on the news other night,

[42:34] either the Grand Board's commission,

[42:36] the county commission there,

[42:38] I mean, they're talking about cutting,

[42:40] they're recommending development,

[42:41] they're reading, or ones they can cut,

[42:46] because you can't cut, jail, you can't cut the share,

[42:48] or you can't, if he's other ones you're trying to cut.

[42:52] And they're not a big dollar spectator.

[42:55] It's, you can cut by $10,000.

[43:02] I

[43:07] said, it's tough to go through.

[43:16] Motion to adjourn.

[43:20] Motion is on a second.

[43:22] Second.

[43:24] Motion is on a second.

[43:25] Any further discussion?

[43:27] On favor say aye.

[43:28] All right.

[43:29] Both same time.

[43:31] Thanks, everyone.
