1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:30,220
It's been about a year since I was out there, maybe a little more than a year. It's been a lot of work, a ton of work. We just had a ribbon cutting in May, and we had roughly 250 people come to the ribbon cutting. Good turnout, a lot of. And interestingly, even with our businesses that rent, space in the building, they've now hired several employees

2
00:00:30,220 --> 00:00:39,940
each and we now have I think 115 key holders that work in the building for the

3
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:42,920
businesses that we're incubating there. Wow.

4
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:47,410
So how many members stand? You have

5
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:53,490
62 clients that use the key virtual kitchen. I didn't explain how that works.

6
00:00:53,770 --> 00:00:59,770
You have 62 clients using a commercial kitchen. How many

7
00:00:59,770 --> 00:01:09,690
understand. Yeah that's a real calendaring challenge. I have people that come and say I was thinking about

8
00:01:10,490 --> 00:01:18,790
creating a commercial kitchen as a business and I say good for you please do good luck with that.

9
00:01:19,750 --> 00:01:28,790
I wish you the best we'll do what we can to help you but I would never do it personally. It's a lot of work and a lot of logistics we have

10
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:32,610
We pay for a scheduling program that helps.

11
00:01:33,050 --> 00:01:41,170
They pay by the hour, so it's a $100 a year annual fee to keep their key current and

12
00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:45,390
to keep them current in the kitchen, and then it's $20 an hour.

13
00:01:46,110 --> 00:01:51,250
And they have the entire kitchen to themselves, which is about 1,000 square feet currently.

14
00:01:52,250 --> 00:01:58,750
And they can bring employees in to help with that, but they as the business owner need

15
00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:02,530
to be compliant with the health department and you taught the Department of Agriculture

16
00:02:02,530 --> 00:02:11,590
and Food and we line them up with those inspectors so that they can be compliant there and

17
00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:21,230
then they sign the kitchen contract with the whole bunch of rules and then they use the

18
00:02:21,230 --> 00:02:28,710
have a queue that gives them 24-7 access to the kitchen, so we calendar time 90-70s a week.

19
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:40,190
With the volume of users that you have now, you have a transitional strategy or an official

20
00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:51,450
strategy, or just as far as them, you know, transitioning out of that center and it's

21
00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:53,330
a good way to break in order, for example.

22
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:55,590
Yeah, that's a good question.

23
00:02:55,950 --> 00:03:01,690
So we have a transition strategy for our office spaces.

24
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,640
We don't for the kitchen.

25
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:13,980
Our offices start low at $300 a month, and by the sixth year, they're $600 an hour.

26
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,200
And so we just raise it every year, and they typically will transition themselves.

27
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:22,960
We used to do that with a kitchen.

28
00:03:23,460 --> 00:03:30,080
It just became an administrative nightmare to track who was paying what per hour.

29
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:46,960
And even though we would plug it into spreadsheets and different things that still go just taking too much time on what we've discovered with the kitchen is they tend to graduate themselves or go out of business.

30
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:58,740
Food-based businesses are an awesome inexpensive business to get into if you have access to a kitchen like this.

31
00:03:58,740 --> 00:03:59,420
And

32
00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:06,740
so it saves people a lot of money from going and trying to purchase their own equipment

33
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:14,080
or they can do the cottage permit and do it at home if they meet compliance because

34
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,220
you can't have like a cat in the house, you can't, there's rules of that.

35
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:26,380
So you can do a cottage permit up to a certain level, but if you want your product and Lee's

36
00:04:26,380 --> 00:04:30,880
marketplace, they're not going to take it from a cottage kitchen that has to be a commercial

37
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,500
was verified in Inspector Petition.

38
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,920
So we give them that opportunity to come in and use it,

39
00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:40,900
but some will fail quickly.

40
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,360
When they start really producing,

41
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,640
they take grandma's recipe for cinnamon rolls,

42
00:04:48,780 --> 00:04:51,360
and it's really good for Christmas time.

43
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,700
But when you start trying to mass produce those

44
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:57,160
and make a margin on those, they quickly

45
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,340
learn that I would have to charge $8 a cinnamon roll,

46
00:05:01,340 --> 00:05:07,060
it's not worth it and I can't get help or whatever the case may be and they go up quickly.

47
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:19,120
Those that grow tend to move on and get their home facility or, you know, for example,

48
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:26,500
we had one and it just recently ended badly but it was a good success story from my standpoint.

49
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:36,320
point. It was a business called Hokito, the turn into NUM, and we helped grow them from

50
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:45,240
an idea through, in our kitchen sheet, probably had a dozen employees in there helping her

51
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,420
produce protein-based snacks.

52
00:05:51,860 --> 00:05:57,680
And then central milling became the financial partner for her.

53
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:01,640
And she moved out of our facility on to Sixth West,

54
00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:05,300
kind of like just south of Cafe Support,

55
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,220
by the train tracks there, where central milling owns a building

56
00:06:09,220 --> 00:06:09,480
there.

57
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:12,860
And that's when they changed her name to NUM.

58
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:23,100
And then a few years ago, Centribillion wanted out, but she, by that time, had 20 employees

59
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:24,220
and all of her own equipment.

60
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,280
It was really a success story.

61
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,300
They also got into some issues, I believe, with the name.

62
00:06:33,220 --> 00:06:41,140
They got into issues with the name of Centribillion, her chose because it was Oakito, which was her

63
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:41,440
name.

64
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:49,700
and it was fine. But they wanted to use NUM and I thought, that name's already being used.

65
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:58,940
You might want to check on that. They went full. Anyway, between the, it was a good example

66
00:06:58,940 --> 00:07:08,020
of with money, you know, they move out of here and become real. Our kitchens been used by,

67
00:07:08,020 --> 00:07:12,220
We probably need to put together a portfolio of success stories.

68
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,280
There's several that moved out.

69
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,820
I think stack pancakes used to it when they first started.

70
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:24,610
There've been several that kind of moved out.

71
00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:25,770
Sorry, the hummus.

72
00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:28,250
Part of those guys making hummus.

73
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:31,270
Yeah, they used to sell it in the stores.

74
00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:32,970
We've done Salt Lake, I think.

75
00:07:33,610 --> 00:07:33,810
Yep.

76
00:07:34,190 --> 00:07:36,870
How many users did you have say a year ago?

77
00:07:37,690 --> 00:07:39,010
You had 62 now, right?

78
00:07:39,010 --> 00:07:51,590
Yeah, I would say 40, and then if there was a full saturation point of weight you could handle there, what number would that be?

79
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:53,030
I know they vary from that.

80
00:07:53,030 --> 00:07:58,170
Yeah, the hard part is some may come in to use it for 10 hours and some may use it for an hour.

81
00:07:58,650 --> 00:07:59,950
It's in the ballpark though.

82
00:08:00,950 --> 00:08:02,270
Average operation maybe.

83
00:08:02,930 --> 00:08:06,810
As it currently stands, probably we're

84
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,980
getting pretty close because you run the 24-7.

85
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,980
So if you've upsized it, Mark, would that borrow that from 80 to something different?

86
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,100
I think so.

87
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,620
I mean, plus we want to, the way we want to expand up, we want to divide the kitchen essentially

88
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:37,020
into kind of three segments so that we can utilize, rather than, let's say, we have a company

89
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:42,080
that makes protein powder and then sells it online.

90
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:47,280
So like you go to the gym, you work out, you have your protein drink, they make the powder,

91
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:54,020
they partnered with someone from the university, they went through a series, and their bags

92
00:08:54,020 --> 00:08:55,100
are very professional.

93
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:57,280
They market it through online sales.

94
00:08:57,860 --> 00:09:00,520
They also have a coffee creamer that's done really well.

95
00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:05,620
I think they've got it in blocked rifle coffee shops and etc.

96
00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:13,860
So they sell this all over, they do this protein powder and all they do really is they use

97
00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:21,640
our space so that it's legal to produce in cell and they use mixers, like a big floor

98
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:27,080
mixers and they have a thing that looks kind of like a concrete mixture made out of plastic

99
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,520
that tumbles out and they bring it into the space that makes all this stuff up but while

100
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,960
they're doing that it ties up the entire kitchen. So even though they don't use

101
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,680
the ovens and the stoves and the kind of thing, it ties it all up because they're

102
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:50,900
using the entire serving. So in our thoughts for design, we're creating a

103
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:56,260
production and packaging segment of the kitchen that is separate from the baking

104
00:09:56,260 --> 00:10:01,440
and cooking section of the kitchen. And then we're also dividing that into the

105
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:08,500
the cooking, deep fry grill, whatever side of the kitchen and the baking side of the kitchen.

106
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:14,920
So it should make it at a minimum that we can have three separate

107
00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:20,390
genres of people using

108
00:10:20,390 --> 00:10:21,050
the kitchen.

109
00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:29,870
So I think it will, besides being able to add capacity in general, I think will help in several

110
00:10:29,870 --> 00:10:38,190
different ways. We're going to run up against an administration wall I think once we get that in

111
00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:44,850
before we run into a spatial wall because we're already pretty we've got you know there's we have

112
00:10:44,850 --> 00:10:51,650
very little help there and we you know very little we don't really get any funding from city and

113
00:10:51,650 --> 00:11:02,750
county and all of our funding now or state other than through BTEC for salaries. So we're

114
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:08,210
pretty much dependent on taking the money that's generated and putting it back in to keep

115
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:17,700
it operational. So maybe as we gather more mass with rental income, we might be able to hire

116
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:25,580
a part-time person, just to manage the kitchen, to be honest with you, thank you very

117
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,040
much.

118
00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:30,880
Thank you.

119
00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:33,180
Sorry, more than you want to probably.

120
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:38,940
Well, you have your own item number nine, so if you just merge the two together, I think it's great.

121
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:39,320
Cool.

122
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:42,900
And based on questions, I think you got a lot of us.

123
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,740
You and I can talk with great frequency.

124
00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:49,080
I thought of new questions right here versus the tours.

125
00:11:50,140 --> 00:11:55,600
two tours in the last one percent and with different boats, so we learned something

126
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,460
that I really appreciate.

127
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,140
So, Mr. Chairman, more coming back to this slide here, you can see on the screen these three

128
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:09,440
boxes, which now is the spirit or something, I don't know where he's at, they should back

129
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,720
up for some mooner.

130
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:17,040
That is what we advanced for with this particular 27 allocation and what has been approved

131
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:26,780
If I could note, Sean, just for the audio record, I was not present to vote on that.

132
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,980
That's true, that was not swayed by me.

133
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:30,720
That is a fair point.

134
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:31,620
Thank you.

135
00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:37,160
It is reflective of your absence in the last meeting by the minutes of the group tonight.

136
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,380
So that is worth knowing.

137
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:44,220
And if I get asked by the county council, not that I think a little is already approved it.

138
00:12:44,220 --> 00:12:50,460
but I can say for the number of the audio recording that is good, that we could increase on the amount of points.

139
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:54,060
So, there you have that.

140
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,300
Mr. Chairman, can I note to item number 8?

141
00:12:58,460 --> 00:12:58,600
Yes.

142
00:12:58,780 --> 00:13:02,000
Any other questions about this in your 27th?

143
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,560
Yes, please. I don't think about that here.

144
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:11,280
Rick, so here in our county, Brian knows full well because he was here during the creation of Genesis.

145
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:19,080
of the cash sum. And as I understand, actually, I'll defer to you, Mr. Chair. But you want to talk about the

146
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,960
chances when I can talk about how it would change you to be a agenda that you see there.

147
00:13:23,020 --> 00:13:29,900
Yeah, yeah. Sure. 10 years ago, I was part of a partnership with a private firm in the cash

148
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:38,900
county to put together a forum to talk about development issues in the county, particularly finding ways

149
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:50,200
to find common ground between the administrative planners and land use managers of the county

150
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:58,220
and municipal jurisdictions and the private sector builders and developers that were providing

151
00:13:58,220 --> 00:14:06,680
housing stock generally and trying to find ways to facilitate the development of a wider

152
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:13,860
variety of housing and development styles within the county. It evolved over time to include a

153
00:14:13,860 --> 00:14:20,180
wide variety of development concerns including agricultural preservation, water conservation,

154
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:31,520
infrastructure efficiency, and even to a point business and economic success and sustainability within

155
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:39,160
county and you know that program has gone on for I think we had our 11th annual meeting last year

156
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:50,660
and so it's you know been slowly evolving to address hot topics and and items of concern

157
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:58,350
throughout the county and we've got a new name which I'm okay with because to be honest I never

158
00:14:58,350 --> 00:14:59,810
Relic to the incassion when it photos.

159
00:15:01,180 --> 00:15:07,960
Well, we've worked out, man. Wimpy way to approach it, but you know, it got the job done, so I can't, I can't complain.

160
00:15:09,380 --> 00:15:11,400
Do you recall that?

161
00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:25,300
Yeah, that was a, that was a regional economic development conference. I believe when did that start around 2005, 2006? And that ran for 12, 13 years.

162
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:32,260
And that changed something similar to the cash summit, and then that ended up changing

163
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:34,000
to be like the cash business summit?

164
00:15:34,420 --> 00:15:41,140
Yeah, yeah, the cash so that the what's up, what's going down up north was kind of a, it

165
00:15:41,140 --> 00:15:49,000
was at the time the clever play answer to what's up down south, which is a big economic development

166
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,480
and real estate conference in St. George.

167
00:15:51,480 --> 00:16:00,040
So we had one for Northern Utah, and yeah, yeah, after the kind of regional three county plus

168
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:05,980
southeastern Idaho, what's going down up north kind of ran out of steam, Cash County,

169
00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:12,700
Chamber of Commerce picked up the torch and started running a program that turned into

170
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:21,140
the Cash Business Summit, which is now kind of the Cash Chambers Economic Development Conference

171
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,860
So I think the brick helps different year.

172
00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:27,520
Yeah, definitely.

173
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:28,500
Thank you.

174
00:16:30,540 --> 00:16:32,340
And it was partly for that.

175
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,140
So thank you very much for that, that, you know,

176
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,380
Janice, for last year we started

177
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:40,080
audibly calling it the brick summit,

178
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,400
or it's in the Bragg summit,

179
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,980
because we were trying to fulfill desires.

180
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,220
So Bragg's going more, everybody here probably already knows

181
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:51,340
it's not Bragg's going more than 15 individuals.

182
00:16:51,340 --> 00:16:52,940
They're all elected officials.

183
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,740
There are three representing each county,

184
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,100
and then there are two mayors for each county.

185
00:16:57,500 --> 00:16:58,860
So each county has five seats.

186
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,180
The two that have county commissions

187
00:17:01,180 --> 00:17:02,900
with the three person commission form,

188
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:05,140
they have all three of the commissioners as members.

189
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,440
This county because of our seven member county council

190
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,360
and the county executive being separately elected,

191
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,660
they have two council members and the county executive.

192
00:17:13,220 --> 00:17:15,700
And then again, each one has two mayors.

193
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,580
Well, we've heard for the last few years

194
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:24,540
that cash and box elder particularly want greater regional coordination and it kind

195
00:17:24,540 --> 00:17:30,240
of started with an ag airport which I'm teasing up and I'm going to talk to Brian about

196
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,980
being in our next agenda when we have more members to constitute it because I think it will be

197
00:17:34,980 --> 00:17:39,600
really interesting for them to see, I'll make a quicker mention about that here in a minute.

198
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,860
But that really kind of became the genesis of these counties saying that if we truly want

199
00:17:45,860 --> 00:17:50,700
to look different and build out differently than on the prolobe we need to do some things

200
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:50,940
different.

201
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,200
Which was the cash sum, but it was just the cash sum.

202
00:17:54,920 --> 00:18:02,120
So this year we'll represent the third year of the box other sum, and that's what

203
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,620
she wanted to talk to me about and we're going to wait on the can.

204
00:18:05,140 --> 00:18:05,940
Sidebar conversations.

205
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:06,580
Sorry guys.

206
00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:07,100
I need to talk.

207
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:08,080
I need to talk to you about that later.

208
00:18:08,540 --> 00:18:10,720
But they too are.

209
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,540
Well, let's emulate the same kind of success

210
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:14,060
that cashed on as that.

211
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,800
But it still keeps them as two separate things,

212
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,560
and they really have a lot in common.

213
00:18:21,740 --> 00:18:23,840
It's funny that I say that after being

214
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,100
pitchforked and torched together with John Drew

215
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,060
this last year, Truman, because they said, yeah.

216
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,780
We don't want to be like the big city of Logan.

217
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
We don't care if we have to say.

218
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,480
We were asked by city leaders, though,

219
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,140
I'd go for some of the workshop that was not

220
00:18:38,140 --> 00:18:43,120
But, rare city council meeting, but one set up at the city council was about housing.

221
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,780
And, oh my gosh, did we learn that they think we are the threat.

222
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,080
And we're like, well, that's funny because we think we have a lot more common

223
00:18:52,420 --> 00:18:54,220
and loaded things up to the threat.

224
00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:57,600
So, it's just funny how that changing the perspective goes, right?

225
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,220
But, anyway, so, the idea was, last year we started calling it the drag summit

226
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:05,120
because we wanted to do know that it was more reachable.

227
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:06,840
but we still advertise it as a cash flow.

228
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,020
And with both the projected timeline

229
00:19:09,020 --> 00:19:11,700
to be able to execute and knowing the human capacity

230
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,140
to only absorb so much change in time,

231
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:16,160
we made some changes last year,

232
00:19:16,580 --> 00:19:18,820
and we admittedly punted some of it to be this year.

233
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,240
And the name changed as one.

234
00:19:20,860 --> 00:19:24,360
So this year, again, we workshopped the heck out of this,

235
00:19:24,540 --> 00:19:25,980
immediately following the conclusion

236
00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:29,080
of last year's cash-slash-brack summit.

237
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,080
We had a post event survey that went out,

238
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,240
was great information that we got back.

239
00:19:35,860 --> 00:19:40,800
It's funny how literally, an example of one person,

240
00:19:40,940 --> 00:19:43,220
one presenter, was what somebody just loved,

241
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,700
we gave five stars, and like 14 responses later,

242
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:49,000
that same presentation got one start

243
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,460
from something totally different, right?

244
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,260
So just interesting, where that kind of importance

245
00:19:55,260 --> 00:19:57,460
of getting feedback can come into play.

246
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:05,340
And we threw out on the last session, we threw out, hey folks, we're thinking about reading

247
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:05,760
this.

248
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:08,980
And we, so we let everybody that was in attendance last year, no.

249
00:20:10,020 --> 00:20:13,800
Boxellers feel, boxellers, they just feel like they have more common with the night county

250
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:17,060
than they do the southern part of we were coming.

251
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,780
Let alone anything further south.

252
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:23,520
And the cash county has, cash county leaders just said that they feel the same way about

253
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:29,760
framework. And as we all know here, they're very important to our workforce. As a matter

254
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:36,620
of fact, 52% of the adult age workforce at Franklin County, their residents, 52% coming

255
00:20:36,620 --> 00:20:41,260
to the Utah side of the border, they can reach our businesses and our strip malls with their

256
00:20:41,260 --> 00:20:46,520
lunch and grocery store purchases before they go back home. We meet them to be successful too.

257
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:52,660
So, we started workshopping, you know, what the name would be.

258
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,900
So Brick stands for Bareware Innovation Commerce and Knowledge Law.

259
00:20:56,940 --> 00:20:57,660
I don't love it.

260
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,860
I'm just being honest with you.

261
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:04,960
I don't love it, but there are all sorts of critiques that I don't want to give you because

262
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,540
I don't want you to have them if you haven't already thought of something.

263
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,040
But, at the same time, we couldn't find anything that would just be unanimously loved.

264
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,960
and we've come to learn folks and I don't know apparently think that we're a big

265
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:23,020
brother and that we're always demeaning and telling them what to do and so we've

266
00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:27,500
tried really hard to not have what's going down on the north because then we

267
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:32,260
immediately tell them that it's well they're soft so that must not plan them and we

268
00:21:32,260 --> 00:21:38,300
want them to show up so thus the name and building what matters is a little bit

269
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:39,960
to understand that I wish we were a little bit bigger,

270
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,400
but one brick doesn't do anything,

271
00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:46,440
but you have a lot of bricks and you can build something.

272
00:21:46,820 --> 00:21:48,660
And that's kind of what the tone of the leaders

273
00:21:49,020 --> 00:21:49,900
will talk about it.

274
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,420
So that being said, the southeast side of the counties

275
00:21:53,420 --> 00:21:54,000
are invited.

276
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,340
It's going to be two days.

277
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,720
You see there on the screen October 14th and 15th.

278
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,100
14th, first half of the day is going to be mobile tours.

279
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:01,300
This is going to look different.

280
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,720
Cash sum that last year, and when we were working in

281
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:05,980
concert with the Chamber of Commerce,

282
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,980
we had some mobile tours.

283
00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:12,980
Connect was really good to let us use a bus in the driver, but it maxed us out of 40 people that could get on the bus.

284
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:24,960
And reasonably, if we had a bus, we could really only pick one route, and to go between all six of those counties, or even free, dummy, it's just not reasonable.

285
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,640
So we're going to rip off something that we've seen C-Shock to be deployed in another conference

286
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:39,660
where folks will drive to their own destination of a cafeteria plan, of sites where folks work with us to say

287
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:48,140
Sure, we'll get one minute or we'll get three when it goes for one hour in between that night and clock and one o'clock kind of time for it.

288
00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:52,200
And then your attendees can just show up and they recognize we're going to have to figure this out.

289
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:58,680
How it goes and if it's successful or not, you know, maybe one of those tours is really interactive

290
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,240
for two people and one host and the next hour is 20 people and one host.

291
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,880
We don't know what we don't know yet, but we want to showcase the communities

292
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,640
that we're trying to drop the women from.

293
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,820
So that's going to be first part of day one and then this worked out really well.

294
00:23:14,820 --> 00:23:17,200
This is one of the changes we instituted last year.

295
00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:21,220
We had after hours because the cash fund has always been

296
00:23:21,220 --> 00:23:23,580
like for government employees during business hours.

297
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,140
But we found that we kind of maxed out

298
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,560
the audience that we were getting.

299
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,860
And we wanted planning and sewing commissioners to show up

300
00:23:33,860 --> 00:23:36,000
because after all, some of the first blush,

301
00:23:36,140 --> 00:23:38,060
the first touches, whether it's economic development,

302
00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:39,880
and Kirk and I are bringing you something to somebody.

303
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,440
We could be as business-friendly as we want

304
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,680
right in front of the fine design feels like it's pre-cooked before it comes to them. I'm seeking

305
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,380
partly a rhyme, too. My own days when I was planning to design a commission, you're like, well, I'm

306
00:23:51,380 --> 00:23:56,380
I'm not sure I understand. And so we want them to be involved in the process, too, but if they're

307
00:23:56,380 --> 00:24:01,440
working a full-time job, and they're volunteers, and I can use a PTO to come to this sort of stuff

308
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,240
musically. And then we have a bunch of small town mayors that also help the time jobs, and it's a very

309
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,200
of our time job to be mayor or council member.

310
00:24:08,860 --> 00:24:12,120
So we did after hours and we made folks with dinner,

311
00:24:12,740 --> 00:24:13,700
keynote, and a breakout.

312
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,160
Well, we had two concurrently,

313
00:24:15,260 --> 00:24:16,960
three concurrent breakout sessions,

314
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,180
the one block of time.

315
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,480
And it was really well attended.

316
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,300
We had like 70 to 90 people,

317
00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:24,260
which we thought was higher than we expected.

318
00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:26,880
So we're gonna do that again this year.

319
00:24:27,020 --> 00:24:29,240
That's day one and then day two looks very much to say,

320
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:30,680
typical content of breakfast.

321
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:31,840
And the morning when we began,

322
00:24:32,060 --> 00:24:33,220
it goes until four o'clock,

323
00:24:33,420 --> 00:24:34,560
we have three keynote speakers,

324
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,660
breakfast, lunch, dinner.

325
00:24:38,380 --> 00:24:44,220
and then we'll have a total of two breakout sessions on the night and three breakout sessions

326
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:48,920
during the day. And each one of those will have four concurrent tracks. Those four concurrent

327
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:54,880
tracks are economic development, community development, municipal governments, which I'll

328
00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:01,180
talk about here in a second, and historic and cultural preservation. I don't know everything

329
00:25:01,180 --> 00:25:04,440
about how Kirk sells low in city free money development.

330
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,180
But one of my things that I sell is not what most landowners

331
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:09,520
immediately come to me and say,

332
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,860
hey, but we've got cheap land.

333
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,980
Up and down the African Corridor

334
00:25:13,980 --> 00:25:15,640
or another rural community stay at cheap land.

335
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:18,180
And particularly here at Cash, they might

336
00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:19,140
mean that's the freeway.

337
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,280
Logistically, that's the way they better sense

338
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,160
to come to Cash and come over so they can get there.

339
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,660
Corridor Rich County is there even further from the freeway

340
00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:30,280
and they even have less work force like it.

341
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:35,120
But that's not going to be a subtle feature, and I argue around the lake they don't have

342
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:35,580
cheap land.

343
00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:41,160
You know, we have more water, but certain parts of it are on the bear root, or in the

344
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:41,780
great salt lake.

345
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,680
They can say they have water from the bear root, too.

346
00:25:43,820 --> 00:25:48,800
So I sell our community with the quality of life, the historical and cultural preservation.

347
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:50,660
Wendy is going to be a great asset.

348
00:25:50,820 --> 00:25:53,920
She's grouped by the county county because she can speak with that.

349
00:25:54,380 --> 00:25:59,340
We know that for communities our size Washington County doesn't have what Wendy is doing here.

350
00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:01,640
and they have a bigger population than us.

351
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:04,920
And so, you know, there's going to be some really great

352
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,840
opportunity to be shaken when to the conversations.

353
00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:10,120
But historic and cultural preservation is about that.

354
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,560
Let me go back to that, that other of the four tribes

355
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,640
called municipal governments.

356
00:26:13,820 --> 00:26:16,540
It doesn't really matter to us, but those small town mayors

357
00:26:16,540 --> 00:26:19,140
and councils that have no full-time staff,

358
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:22,480
there's a government program where I know it's called

359
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,100
community advisor, and it's been funded by the legislature

360
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:26,280
for the last three years.

361
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,760
and it embeds somebody at an A of G like what rag is,

362
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,960
the A.G. as Association of Governments.

363
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,580
So everyone at A of G's throughout the state

364
00:26:35,580 --> 00:26:38,500
has one or more community advisors.

365
00:26:38,740 --> 00:26:41,520
They go out and they help those small communities

366
00:26:42,140 --> 00:26:43,920
and act as fractional employees.

367
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,680
So unfortunately for us in a three-county area,

368
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,520
we have a 40.

369
00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:51,020
So that's a lot for just two part timers

370
00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:53,800
to try to help, but it's not policy and ordinance

371
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:59,620
development, it's been really interesting since Ryan's departure, working with a

372
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:05,480
rather department. One of those team members mentioned, do we know how to say,

373
00:27:06,660 --> 00:27:12,740
Rooster Farm, for the lack of battery, call the 800 Roosters? There's a municipality

374
00:27:12,740 --> 00:27:18,500
with no full-time staff that this community advisory role is helping and finding out

375
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:24,540
the challenges between an ag-protected business and being a neighbor in a

376
00:27:24,540 --> 00:27:31,740
municipality to 800 roosters. So, you know, it's about trying to help sometimes

377
00:27:31,740 --> 00:27:37,360
in the year, the other night, because I acknowledge all about truth and

378
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:41,940
taxation, one of our community advisors just left for another career path very,

379
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,940
very recently. I got to go to one of these communities that this function

380
00:27:47,940 --> 00:27:50,020
and teach some about truth and taxation.

381
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,020
And because they were unfortunately one of the communities

382
00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:55,680
last year that tried to pass probably taxes across T,

383
00:27:55,940 --> 00:27:58,140
but maybe the dotted eyes did everything else

384
00:27:58,140 --> 00:28:01,380
and they were told, sorry, didn't quite meet it everything.

385
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,140
Other boxes were checked.

386
00:28:03,380 --> 00:28:05,260
So on this year, they're trying to do it

387
00:28:05,260 --> 00:28:07,860
and maybe to get that presentation

388
00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:09,680
for the benefit of the public behind you

389
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,780
with the bill I was looking at the City Council, right?

390
00:28:12,340 --> 00:28:13,960
So that's kind of what that track is about.

391
00:28:14,180 --> 00:28:15,820
The other two, I think, are pretty self explanatory

392
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,860
We're hoping to have a targeted audience of 150, which isn't much more than we have last year,

393
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,600
but we'll see how those will came up to 200.

394
00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:32,620
We have a keynote speaker for voicing, because we're trying to draw on these Idaho folks,

395
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,240
and they did not just be fostered.

396
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:40,240
We also have a panel of commissioners who are going to speak about a national program

397
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:41,620
on rural development.

398
00:28:41,620 --> 00:28:46,880
development. So my hope is that those kind of main dropping things to the southeast side of the

399
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,280
communities can get them to the county. Very least hurt for me to do bump up a couple of hotels

400
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,680
days. We'll see. For all of us, we're more local and sure we won't be staying overnight at the

401
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:01,860
rear of the expel. We'll see. So that's that, Mr. Chairman. Great. Thank you.

402
00:29:02,020 --> 00:29:08,220
Yeah. Things are on sale now. The website is still a little bit under development. I don't

403
00:29:08,220 --> 00:29:11,800
I don't think we need, yeah, we don't have anywhere to do it.

404
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,180
I'm going to look at that thing.

405
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,240
I'm looking at Cambria because she is on the set committee for branding.

406
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,260
We haven't agenda kind of occupied with many of the spots yet, but we haven't.

407
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,140
So there's going to be that outlining.

408
00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:31,550
When break-ups, you see things like that.

409
00:29:31,910 --> 00:29:33,550
If you do that, you would be paid for it.

410
00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:35,010
I don't know basically what it's not.

411
00:29:35,010 --> 00:29:41,910
But we're still looking to lock down some of those, but I would say roughly speaking, we have half of the agenda already.

412
00:29:43,770 --> 00:29:45,630
So I'm some of that here shortly.

413
00:29:46,750 --> 00:29:51,600
The closing keynote, I'm hopeful for a kind of big name.

414
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,000
So we'll see whether or not we can make this happen.

415
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,340
There are some people that are very, very challenging.

416
00:29:57,180 --> 00:29:58,360
All right, so there's that.

417
00:29:58,580 --> 00:29:59,800
And I think it's germane here.

418
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,880
As we're trying with this economic development approach, we'll look more regional. Again, I'm kind of teaming out the Ag Report. I'll just talk about an Albright. This is my, hey, heads up at a subsequent meeting where we have more of these newly constructed members. For everyone else's benefit, we'd be calling it the, you know, going on tour. The Ag Report study is done that we got a rural community's opportunity grant for a number of years ago. We came an under budget.

419
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,500
So that's fantastic, and I want to commend Brian and his team.

420
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,680
He brought in a lot of the town folks with different perspectives of J.B., but even some external

421
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:45,140
partners to validate the economic development on numbers so that it's not us just pocketing

422
00:30:45,140 --> 00:30:48,420
and looking at the look at it, and really taking a look at that.

423
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:50,680
So that will be for him.

424
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:51,480
All right.

425
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,400
So we are on that.

426
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,520
How much would it take?

427
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,140
It's 150, 150 years.

428
00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:02,860
Thank you for asking.

429
00:31:04,420 --> 00:31:06,160
And as anybody knows, there are many small trips

430
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,660
that we like to meet from the group.

431
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,440
We're happy to help them get a part of the tiered levels.

432
00:31:12,620 --> 00:31:14,860
And I don't think any of that is on the website, it is.

433
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,920
It's not, and something else to know is ticket pricing

434
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:23,720
is that when, over, interversations, whatever that would be,

435
00:31:25,420 --> 00:31:32,940
The ticket pricing will break out until you're able to only buy access to a solid evening event

436
00:31:32,940 --> 00:31:40,180
or a solid risk data if you do have books that you can't make it to get the time on.

437
00:31:40,220 --> 00:31:41,240
The whole thing will go down.

438
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:46,760
I want to give you a question about the most beautiful line because we do recognize some books

439
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,920
that will be probably came to that evening, such as you and I will take a video.

440
00:31:53,630 --> 00:31:54,490
Thank you for that.

441
00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:58,530
Mr. Chairman, any questions about that?

442
00:32:00,670 --> 00:32:05,890
questions? No. Okay, I can move on. Update on the Logan Airport and I'm going to ask if we can

443
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:10,030
then need to agenda to answer something before I'm kind of wondering what I'm

444
00:32:10,030 --> 00:32:15,390
turning here next working. So number 10 I kind of reviewed a lot of it and the

445
00:32:15,390 --> 00:32:18,350
biggest moving parts of that earlier when I noticed that the county's now

446
00:32:18,350 --> 00:32:23,110
and so you're older and viable for the finances. Kirk is there anything you want to

447
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:26,730
add to that because I know you are intrinsically evolving the city side of things.

448
00:32:26,730 --> 00:32:29,830
No, that's, you've stated it well.

449
00:32:30,270 --> 00:32:34,830
And Kirk and I are like Almanair here in Cambridge as

450
00:32:34,830 --> 00:32:36,850
ex officio, you know, where we've seen nothing.

451
00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:40,950
That's kind of what Kirk and I are on the year 4th, 4th, 4th, 4th, 2.

452
00:32:41,050 --> 00:32:43,710
They're going to create a bifurcated board system,

453
00:32:43,930 --> 00:32:47,190
two components, or anything, like I know a little bit of some of that.

454
00:32:48,270 --> 00:32:50,850
I just know that they were going to have a board meeting

455
00:32:50,850 --> 00:32:55,050
recently, or in the next few days, or a couple of weeks,

456
00:32:55,050 --> 00:33:04,350
but they're still working on board, so they're coming at the sponsor board, which is

457
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:09,590
elected officials, and that's where the true check writing authority would come from.

458
00:33:10,090 --> 00:33:15,230
They really want to clear it off, but operating in my enterprise, I don't even know what that

459
00:33:15,230 --> 00:33:15,450
means.

460
00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:21,510
And then there'll be kind of an advisory board that would have more subject matter of folks,

461
00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:26,590
And I won't spend much more time on that.

462
00:33:27,230 --> 00:33:35,250
I will say that, though, there is, general, somewhat specific interest in the airport,

463
00:33:35,870 --> 00:33:37,170
for economic purposes.

464
00:33:38,170 --> 00:33:39,770
I'm not trying to be coircute.

465
00:33:39,950 --> 00:33:46,650
You all likely know how these things work, where certain interested parties try to deal a little

466
00:33:46,650 --> 00:33:50,510
about it, they don't want it to nearer to your competitors and then what they're up to.

467
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:56,370
And so there's not a lot of public discourse and talents like to know, you know, things are

468
00:33:57,270 --> 00:34:03,230
pretty well-maped and kind of long, but there are a number of entities that are looking at

469
00:34:03,950 --> 00:34:08,570
a jace of property for the Arab world because it's specifically like aircraft taxiway.

470
00:34:10,530 --> 00:34:12,110
What's on the screen is one of these.

471
00:34:12,110 --> 00:34:13,670
This came in just yesterday afternoon.

472
00:34:14,030 --> 00:34:17,570
It's only one of just a few, but it's one nonetheless.

473
00:34:18,570 --> 00:34:20,890
And it's, by the way, this is the new portal

474
00:34:20,890 --> 00:34:24,590
that Goet has created for project submission

475
00:34:24,590 --> 00:34:27,030
for those who are RFI's request for information.

476
00:34:27,530 --> 00:34:29,930
It's in partnership with the ECU tile

477
00:34:29,930 --> 00:34:34,570
that's up here in the top left of the webpage.

478
00:34:35,730 --> 00:34:37,390
So the two of them are working in concert.

479
00:34:37,690 --> 00:34:39,450
For those of us that have been in this game for a while,

480
00:34:39,450 --> 00:34:44,670
ECU has largely, for 40 years, been the ones to go out and outwardly market the state,

481
00:34:45,830 --> 00:34:51,770
specifying their interests on the foreign industries that go ahead, or the state has told

482
00:34:51,770 --> 00:35:00,090
them that they want more out, biotech, finance, financial technology, advancements, actually

483
00:35:00,090 --> 00:35:02,010
aerospace defense, just to make it clear.

484
00:35:02,010 --> 00:35:07,590
And so, East Utah is then the one to go out and procure and develop those warm leads.

485
00:35:09,010 --> 00:35:10,990
And it was a pay-to-place system.

486
00:35:11,330 --> 00:35:16,170
This county and this board a few years ago actually used some of the rural

487
00:35:16,170 --> 00:35:18,310
county grant money to pay for a membership.

488
00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:20,610
And then it was two years ago to sign it.

489
00:35:20,930 --> 00:35:22,790
Let's shift that to a couple of other offices.

490
00:35:24,010 --> 00:35:27,230
Mostly because we were aware of the East Utah building.

491
00:35:27,490 --> 00:35:29,190
We're looking to reframe your relationship.

492
00:35:29,610 --> 00:35:31,690
We weren't really sure how it was going to play out.

493
00:35:31,810 --> 00:35:34,850
I'm already telling you today, I'm still not sure that I know how that's going to play out.

494
00:35:35,330 --> 00:35:39,810
Kirk, do you feel any better about knowing how that's going to play out in the long term?

495
00:35:42,190 --> 00:35:43,590
Sorry, I'm sorry, you're busy.

496
00:35:43,930 --> 00:35:44,930
Sorry, I was distracted.

497
00:35:45,370 --> 00:35:45,730
It's OK.

498
00:35:45,970 --> 00:35:46,550
Tight into that.

499
00:35:46,670 --> 00:35:47,990
It was just EEC talk.

500
00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:51,780
You prompted me to do a prompt of my own to gather information.

501
00:35:52,590 --> 00:35:54,090
So we've got three.

502
00:35:54,470 --> 00:35:55,950
Just in my way again, sorry.

503
00:35:55,950 --> 00:36:00,890
Just EDC talk about, and like, who knows, really in charge of who's out there marketing it,

504
00:36:00,950 --> 00:36:05,190
like, it used to be pretty clear, it was EDC talking about, I think it's a little less clear.

505
00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:10,190
And I don't think, I mean, EDC talk, I mean, they're

506
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:13,920
surviving, right?

507
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,460
I mean, they want to endure a clarity.

508
00:36:17,860 --> 00:36:21,140
So I just think, I know organizations had a great track record.

509
00:36:21,420 --> 00:36:23,220
They've been around for years and years.

510
00:36:24,020 --> 00:36:31,460
So I think just the handshake and working closely with the Governor's Office of Economic Development.

511
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,280
I see that going forward.

512
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,180
How do you come in in your turn?

513
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:40,040
Yeah.

514
00:36:41,380 --> 00:36:43,080
So what's still that still kind of evolving?

515
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,300
But Goethe has gotten me into the RFI business as well.

516
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:52,460
And so they've encouraged us to respond to requests for information RFIs through this portal.

517
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:54,200
and I'm just showing you for transparency,

518
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,200
so you can give the boards a mission

519
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,860
that this is what the board looks like.

520
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:00,580
One of these that came across history

521
00:37:00,580 --> 00:37:02,140
is called Project Alps Atlas.

522
00:37:02,940 --> 00:37:05,580
And what I want to note here is Project Atlas

523
00:37:05,580 --> 00:37:08,420
is an international aerospace defense company

524
00:37:08,420 --> 00:37:10,960
seeking its North American headquarters.

525
00:37:11,620 --> 00:37:13,280
Project includes precision and machining.

526
00:37:13,580 --> 00:37:15,480
We're pretty darn good at that by industry,

527
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:18,140
with a sector here in the valley.

528
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,900
Advanced materials aircraft assembly

529
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:25,200
and center of excellence for continuing education.

530
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,240
I don't know, Mark, is there any component

531
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,480
with technologists in the state for center of excellence?

532
00:37:33,540 --> 00:37:36,580
I'm not sure, but it is definitely like the,

533
00:37:37,260 --> 00:37:39,460
on the usual side of this university system.

534
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,900
I would think so, although I would say that BTEC had, you know,

535
00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:45,820
with their automation department,

536
00:37:46,220 --> 00:37:50,430
their welding department and the other things,

537
00:37:51,450 --> 00:37:53,450
would lead him to this quite well.

538
00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:56,210
So this is the sort of thing that under

539
00:37:56,210 --> 00:37:58,910
business retention recruitment, they go and is like,

540
00:37:59,030 --> 00:38:00,570
yeah, we don't know that we love

541
00:38:00,570 --> 00:38:02,430
working in these positions to get paid for

542
00:38:02,430 --> 00:38:04,030
at this European grant money and we,

543
00:38:04,350 --> 00:38:05,810
and the other two counties, by the way,

544
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:07,470
strongly pushed back and argued,

545
00:38:07,710 --> 00:38:09,130
well, we think this retention recruitment

546
00:38:09,130 --> 00:38:11,810
is a project and it happens all year long,

547
00:38:12,070 --> 00:38:14,430
and so there's, there's some pushback.

548
00:38:14,950 --> 00:38:16,450
Not necessarily coming from this board,

549
00:38:16,730 --> 00:38:18,650
thankfully, you know, you're elected officials,

550
00:38:18,650 --> 00:38:22,210
that you recommend things to our constituents and that push back.

551
00:38:22,790 --> 00:38:27,030
I don't know, you know, the state is obviously the problem with any argument

552
00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:28,850
with the political subdivision itself.

553
00:38:29,310 --> 00:38:31,690
But these are the kind of things that Kirk and I will respond to.

554
00:38:32,250 --> 00:38:35,230
And so you can see here their estimated capital expense is $8 million,

555
00:38:35,710 --> 00:38:39,270
their operation, and everybody kind of shoots quick on it.

556
00:38:39,730 --> 00:38:42,010
I think you can think 24 months probably with the best.

557
00:38:42,590 --> 00:38:44,150
But I thought this was interesting too.

558
00:38:44,570 --> 00:38:46,850
I'm sorry, this is going from Monday or on my screen,

559
00:38:46,850 --> 00:38:49,470
to be a true blue set by 100 total jobs.

560
00:38:51,010 --> 00:38:55,430
Now, there's plenty that could be said, well,

561
00:38:55,830 --> 00:38:58,270
what is that averaging end of the wage per employee

562
00:38:58,270 --> 00:38:59,630
because notice that it's empty there?

563
00:39:00,610 --> 00:39:02,630
They're looking for a quarter of a million square feet.

564
00:39:03,830 --> 00:39:05,290
They're looking for about 40 acres.

565
00:39:06,270 --> 00:39:08,790
And this, too, doesn't really make sense to me.

566
00:39:09,430 --> 00:39:10,670
Kurt and I were talking about this,

567
00:39:10,970 --> 00:39:13,130
that they're looking for a wastewater of 10,000 animals

568
00:39:13,130 --> 00:39:14,610
that are currently only bringing in eight.

569
00:39:14,970 --> 00:39:16,250
So that seems a little bit weird.

570
00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:21,710
normally that's hard is going to be 10-10 or 8-8-8 because what comes in goes out. Maybe there's a little

571
00:39:21,710 --> 00:39:26,690
bit of loss through, might as well expect or something. Anyway, these are some rough numbers,

572
00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:33,230
and then there's four metal hours that they're looking for, but they want to be immediately

573
00:39:35,550 --> 00:39:36,970
direct runway access.

574
00:39:40,970 --> 00:39:43,870
If not an option to exist for this set up, the project will be

575
00:39:43,870 --> 00:39:47,210
interested in leasing land within the airport.

576
00:39:48,470 --> 00:39:51,190
And there's another entity that has some other interests,

577
00:39:51,310 --> 00:39:53,030
by the way, not this one.

578
00:39:53,530 --> 00:39:54,750
And so there is some interests,

579
00:39:55,010 --> 00:39:56,390
and we are immediately situated.

580
00:39:57,150 --> 00:39:58,650
Again, within our three-county region,

581
00:39:59,090 --> 00:40:00,330
this could also be by Britain.

582
00:40:01,370 --> 00:40:03,170
Britain has our own current shop,

583
00:40:03,530 --> 00:40:06,030
and sometimes we, you know,

584
00:40:06,250 --> 00:40:08,490
talk, and sometimes we have a little bit

585
00:40:08,490 --> 00:40:11,550
protected trade on our global losses, say.

586
00:40:11,730 --> 00:40:13,790
But I don't know yet if there was

587
00:40:15,310 --> 00:40:23,090
I think that's great. With the machining aspect, everything that's involved there.

588
00:40:24,370 --> 00:40:34,650
S-D-L, there's a lot. Tell me what is our airport view? I know they own quite a large piece

589
00:40:34,650 --> 00:40:42,130
of land. What is there view with leasing the land and allowing someone to build a structure

590
00:40:42,130 --> 00:40:49,530
do they want because that's something of interest to them or I would

591
00:40:49,530 --> 00:40:53,870
Uncrack me up my wrong and I'm just this is my opinion I mean I

592
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:58,240
would

593
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:03,720
think it'd be a good revenue generator. Kirk is very wet. I used to

594
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:07,460
sit on the saltwater here and say they're purple and I'll tell you this that when

595
00:41:07,460 --> 00:41:12,000
they did the rebuild they're framing road resources that are almost a third

596
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:19,280
each. Car rental fees and like Uber and Lyft like registrations to be

597
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,240
be able to come to the airport if people love it.

598
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:23,100
It's almost a third of their operating equipment.

599
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,800
Just the car was all like land lease spaces.

600
00:41:27,580 --> 00:41:29,320
The restaurants were retailers inside.

601
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,340
The land side, they call it, is another third

602
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,120
and then the employment.

603
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,220
So I can put a certain amount of fee

604
00:41:36,220 --> 00:41:37,660
that you and I paid for to your press.

605
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:40,040
And those are roughly each a third.

606
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,880
Ground leases are very important to airports

607
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,360
to be able to make a break in.

608
00:41:46,740 --> 00:41:48,900
Problem is, we don't have the kind of traffic.

609
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:53,800
We have the second busiest airspace going on, the second busiest foot traffic, the

610
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,080
behavior traffic for our airport, so it does make it challenging to be able to get any

611
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,200
kind of anchors out there.

612
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:05,520
I think many of us are probably going to get to minor with Professor Barron, the university

613
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:12,660
if he, when he loves to see a conference-ish-style building built there in a terminal, I'm here

614
00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:15,760
to support it, but that's easy for me to say for somebody else's money in time.

615
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:24,060
but I think that it's probably going to be one of those things to build it and they'll come but we better have a really great business case.

616
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:30,400
That is the foundation of what Dr. Jones's study is really hinting and pushing forwards, by the way.

617
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,780
Because we all know that we only have one rental car company in town and it's not even close to the airport.

618
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,960
We don't have a hotel close to the airport. We don't have much meaning space at the airport.

619
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,680
And so our report does look functionally very narrowly about the airport.

620
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,540
It's got conflict in aerospace.

621
00:42:46,860 --> 00:42:50,360
It will always be attractive to the national security needs of Hill Air Force Base,

622
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:53,960
which means by FAA standards, the moment you're on a taxi,

623
00:42:54,140 --> 00:42:57,060
you have to have your engine off way.

624
00:42:57,580 --> 00:43:00,680
You're burning through jet fuel while you're just sitting there.

625
00:43:01,260 --> 00:43:06,320
And one time, with a friend of mine, you love steel flying as a little four-seater.

626
00:43:06,820 --> 00:43:07,680
That's all kind of national.

627
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:14,260
We sat there, and I know you can tell because of my stature, I'm a big moment and those are the real things.

628
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:23,100
We were sitting there for 45 minutes. There's no AC without air movement, sitting there waiting because those commercial jets, they have first preference.

629
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,940
That air space in that runway, that belongs to the commercial jets first before it does.

630
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:33,360
My friend and his little four-seeker, right, and it's the same thing in Oregon with the earlier four space.

631
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,340
But even they had a really nice building with office space and meeting space.

632
00:43:37,820 --> 00:43:41,220
And if you've been there, you know, I'm going to force close by to add a lot of other things

633
00:43:41,220 --> 00:43:43,580
that you're going to need to walk campus and grab a light to eat.

634
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,820
We don't really have anything like that next to ours.

635
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,940
So we have some real great opportunities.

636
00:43:49,740 --> 00:43:52,260
But my end of the lease is we're going to be the way that we're going to need to

637
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,000
to extrude that budget gap.

638
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,740
And it's probably going to come from commercial type development first

639
00:43:58,740 --> 00:44:02,640
before we get to hang there exceeding a tournament kind of development next.

640
00:44:04,910 --> 00:44:06,630
I feel like a good one to go after.

641
00:44:07,410 --> 00:44:10,650
So I wanted to tell you a little bit about that, so that's the other thing I'm going to look at.

642
00:44:10,770 --> 00:44:14,010
This is just representing one that's fresh, I should be asking that for you.

643
00:44:14,270 --> 00:44:19,570
But there's another entity that is very similar to this.

644
00:44:21,070 --> 00:44:21,830
Very similar.

645
00:44:22,030 --> 00:44:22,650
Akron wants.

646
00:44:27,260 --> 00:44:28,680
We know them, they know us.

647
00:44:28,780 --> 00:44:32,040
I think that's probably what I need to kind of say about that.

648
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,260
It's going to be fantastic.

649
00:44:33,260 --> 00:44:42,600
we don't, like we have a first full position, we don't take care of it, we need to go somewhere out, so contracts they've recently been over, so they need to be building out.

650
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,720
So some great opportunities.

651
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:53,380
With that, then Mr. Chairman, might I have the opportunity to report in between 10 and 11, just a couple of other quick updates?

652
00:44:53,820 --> 00:44:59,180
Sure. I do want to let you know I've got to be, I need to go in 10 minutes, but...

653
00:44:59,180 --> 00:44:59,820
Yeah, I do too.

654
00:45:05,170 --> 00:45:12,770
So, this will be your 27th. We asked, because we put in the fiscal year 26 report, we'd be

655
00:45:12,770 --> 00:45:17,610
for the deadline of August 1st, and our committee is on the message of names, dates, and yesterday

656
00:45:17,610 --> 00:45:21,710
is saying, hey, no one that's going to be open, because they have to approve that before

657
00:45:21,710 --> 00:45:27,070
the next fiscal year's application of opens. And this is just full transparency. He responds

658
00:45:27,070 --> 00:45:29,950
on its body yesterday afternoon said we have several concerns

659
00:45:29,950 --> 00:45:32,770
with the management of the grants in that area.

660
00:45:33,190 --> 00:45:33,910
I don't know what that means,

661
00:45:34,070 --> 00:45:35,850
but it sounds pretty ominous and ambiguous to me.

662
00:45:36,570 --> 00:45:38,510
So we ask the staffer when we saw first,

663
00:45:38,990 --> 00:45:41,270
in person this morning, what kind of what that means,

664
00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:43,210
and they were like, I actually don't know what that means.

665
00:45:44,130 --> 00:45:46,330
I think I thought of it as I was on the way down

666
00:45:46,330 --> 00:45:47,990
the canyon from Randolph's cover this weekend.

667
00:45:48,190 --> 00:45:50,130
I think part of it is fueled in your meeting minutes.

668
00:45:50,590 --> 00:45:52,730
It shows the councilman heard and Keegan

669
00:45:52,730 --> 00:45:54,850
were still on air after July 1.

670
00:45:54,850 --> 00:45:56,470
And that's the end of this week.

671
00:45:56,810 --> 00:45:58,790
I think that might be part of it.

672
00:45:59,130 --> 00:46:02,050
Because what he said is we shared that with leadership

673
00:46:02,550 --> 00:46:03,690
and we'll let you know.

674
00:46:04,110 --> 00:46:05,510
And I was like, man, that sounds pretty dark.

675
00:46:06,050 --> 00:46:08,670
But I'm also going to absolutely follow the story

676
00:46:08,670 --> 00:46:10,690
on something else here that, again, came written

677
00:46:10,690 --> 00:46:12,290
to her credits, and she's been with us.

678
00:46:12,690 --> 00:46:13,390
It was fantastic.

679
00:46:13,690 --> 00:46:17,350
And that is I had Zoom recording the background

680
00:46:17,350 --> 00:46:19,990
for the last year, the CEO were meeting.

681
00:46:20,670 --> 00:46:22,710
But what I do do right apparently,

682
00:46:22,710 --> 00:46:24,770
and I don't know where, it didn't record, record,

683
00:46:24,950 --> 00:46:25,970
it tried to scribe up.

684
00:46:26,590 --> 00:46:28,430
And that's why the meeting minutes of the last time

685
00:46:28,430 --> 00:46:30,890
I brought them didn't have who was there

686
00:46:31,390 --> 00:46:33,810
because the transcription is only what transcription

687
00:46:33,810 --> 00:46:34,510
is gonna have.

688
00:46:34,770 --> 00:46:35,890
It's not the audio recording.

689
00:46:36,490 --> 00:46:39,130
And by op-na, the meetings need to be advertised,

690
00:46:39,950 --> 00:46:42,390
need to be held, need to be audio recorded,

691
00:46:42,910 --> 00:46:44,210
and the minutes proved.

692
00:46:44,930 --> 00:46:46,130
That's one hour or so on me.

693
00:46:46,330 --> 00:46:48,890
So yesterday, I remember that I had to get my bucket

694
00:46:48,890 --> 00:46:51,530
for that, this is me letting you know right now,

695
00:46:52,310 --> 00:46:53,990
that probably has something to do with it,

696
00:46:54,050 --> 00:46:55,110
but that's what's going on in Canada.

697
00:46:55,750 --> 00:47:00,690
Again, boxholder and cash had been a little resistant

698
00:47:00,690 --> 00:47:02,850
for their, like, the officials to be okay

699
00:47:02,850 --> 00:47:04,110
would not be on board anymore,

700
00:47:04,590 --> 00:47:07,110
but that happened for us and our last meeting happened

701
00:47:07,110 --> 00:47:09,970
for boxholder and the last meeting rich, though,

702
00:47:10,330 --> 00:47:14,050
they were okay with it back at the end of winter, so.

703
00:47:14,570 --> 00:47:16,390
That took place, and that wasn't concerning,

704
00:47:16,570 --> 00:47:19,510
that was expressed by Mr. Dixon and Dwight Vox here,

705
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:26,210
So I just teamed that up, we'll see, because we've got two weeks until the deadline, September 1st,

706
00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:31,670
we're listening to 27 complications that we submitted, and until they accept last year's

707
00:47:31,670 --> 00:47:36,510
that doesn't get open, so we have all the approvals we need, we're just going to have to see how

708
00:47:36,510 --> 00:47:39,010
that goes. Any questions on that?

709
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:45,560
I apologize, and we will be back. Thankfully, we already have

710
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:50,460
two months track record, it would only be better before we get that museum today, but it

711
00:47:51,460 --> 00:47:57,160
is what it is for what we have to do for this through 26. The next update is

712
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,760
something you all probably know too, and that is that our EDA representative Trent

713
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:07,980
Thompson has not been any talk for six years, seven years, and he was coming out

714
00:48:07,980 --> 00:48:11,960
now that they had some budget for last year and a half. They haven't had much

715
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,100
much budget for travel training.

716
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,700
And with that not a little bit about him,

717
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,420
he wanted to kind of meet several of us,

718
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,280
like Brian and I, and these kind of capacities,

719
00:48:19,860 --> 00:48:21,460
the curbs throughout the state,

720
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,480
because you thought it's part of his territory.

721
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,800
So he wanted to hit us pretty easily

722
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:27,780
at the one you thought so.

723
00:48:27,900 --> 00:48:29,180
Since so many of us go to that,

724
00:48:29,540 --> 00:48:31,120
don't let us view you and see your sitting.

725
00:48:31,780 --> 00:48:33,360
So he let us know on a monthly call

726
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:34,980
that he was gonna come out for that.

727
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:36,580
And I twisted his arm and said,

728
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,620
hey, any chance that if I, you know,

729
00:48:38,740 --> 00:48:39,900
can get you to come up here,

730
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:42,740
I'll show you around before you head down, he said sure.

731
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,860
So he came out and he, this is a couple of

732
00:48:45,860 --> 00:48:47,840
one days ago, he landed about midday.

733
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,480
He got here, Mark was one of those sites

734
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,960
that we showed him in Cache Valley on that Monday afternoon.

735
00:48:55,060 --> 00:48:57,500
Then we had a meeting later on in the evening

736
00:48:57,500 --> 00:49:00,500
with some leaders in the community.

737
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,520
I'd actually invited Boxel there in Cache,

738
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:03,840
there's some Boxel there in Rich.

739
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,580
Leaders joined us as well.

740
00:49:07,140 --> 00:49:08,900
We wanted it to be a small enough group

741
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:14,620
that he could talk and be heard and not make like a big deal about it, and I was also trying to be mindful of my budget,

742
00:49:15,020 --> 00:49:22,100
because we set up a nice meeting over at Elements and had their slideshow presentation that I over prepare for,

743
00:49:22,220 --> 00:49:27,460
and then ended up not giving because then this partner had some risk, but I talked a lot,

744
00:49:27,820 --> 00:49:32,040
and so we could really have a lot of that. And Paul talks a lot, and you all know what Paul is talking about,

745
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,840
and others, and so, like, not to make it a longer night, which is kind of a couple of reasons.

746
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:46,300
But you went over what the EED economic development district is, what a sense is, and why our

747
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:50,880
grad governing board being the EED board should probably look a little bit different,

748
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:57,240
and how that can help set us up for other grants that I leave to earlier, where if it's

749
00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:59,440
a 40% match, that's a lot of money.

750
00:49:59,860 --> 00:50:04,100
If we need a couple of million dollars to extend a water and sewer line from the terminus

751
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:06,900
where it currently is to new parcel that can be developed

752
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:08,860
and somebody's knocking on our door saying,

753
00:50:08,860 --> 00:50:11,400
can I like to buy this parcel and creep out our jobs?

754
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,060
But I don't want to pay you for eight

755
00:50:15,060 --> 00:50:17,560
of the money out to get where it's at to my property

756
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,760
and by the way, you're going to make me up size it

757
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,420
because you're pretty sure at the moment I put it

758
00:50:21,420 --> 00:50:23,560
in the ground, these other parcels are going to develop too.

759
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,320
I don't want to pay for all that.

760
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:26,940
And then we, of course, are going to say,

761
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,140
well, we just actually are going to pay for it.

762
00:50:29,740 --> 00:50:32,700
And so if not for you, it stops where it's at right now.

763
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:33,260
It's good enough.

764
00:50:33,260 --> 00:50:37,740
And so then we, of course, used taxing for the financing to usually make that gap work.

765
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:43,040
But EPA grants could also be an option, but then they required 40% of that.

766
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,040
So we went over that for the benefit of those elected leaders that were gathered for that

767
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:47,600
evening meeting.

768
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,680
And it was very helpful for them to hear from the nurses around the kind of how that works.

769
00:50:51,860 --> 00:50:56,060
But it was also kind of an optimistic way if we plan far enough for the future, if we get

770
00:50:56,060 --> 00:51:00,780
real community grants that we used for the agriculture study, but now the next time we

771
00:51:00,780 --> 00:51:04,280
to apply for it, to extend water as super lines in a very specific place.

772
00:51:04,820 --> 00:51:09,540
These are options that become disposable for us, possible for our session.

773
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,040
We're disposable tax dollars, but you know what I mean.

774
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:18,440
The next day, we toured a couple of places in Fox Elder, and then he would be on down to the one we touched up.

775
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,260
So I just wanted to give you that update.

776
00:51:21,460 --> 00:51:22,840
He was very impressed with our area.

777
00:51:23,660 --> 00:51:26,460
In the six or seven years since he was in Utah, but he hadn't been up here.

778
00:51:26,460 --> 00:51:31,040
And so I was pretty proud to act as your agent to show off our community.

779
00:51:31,740 --> 00:51:35,400
And again, Mark hosted us.

780
00:51:35,820 --> 00:51:36,940
Brian was at the dinner.

781
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,040
Kirk and Mayor Anderson were at the dinner meeting as well.

782
00:51:41,660 --> 00:51:44,720
And so just thank you all of you for participating and showing up.

783
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,480
As you can tell, he was impressed by how many people we had.

784
00:51:47,940 --> 00:51:52,220
I would have turned the time over to you if you wanted to add anything about the tour and his conversations.

785
00:51:53,060 --> 00:51:54,060
The dinner conversation.

786
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,260
Did you ever end up sharing about the tour?

787
00:51:57,820 --> 00:51:59,380
No, well, nice guy.

788
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,740
I've worked with Trent.

789
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:05,400
He's been with the EDA and when I was in,

790
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,160
over a brag I worked with him probably since,

791
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:15,280
boy 2015, 2016, maybe even a little longer than that.

792
00:52:15,780 --> 00:52:20,080
But he was a program manager over there

793
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:28,800
who helped with grant compliance and things before he became an economic development representative

794
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:35,040
for our state. But he's been a great guy to work with. It was, I think it was a really

795
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:40,220
great opportunity to meet with him for dinner. I'm great to introduce him to some of the local

796
00:52:40,220 --> 00:52:48,480
leadership and for them to see, you know, just how hard he is working to make sure that our

797
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:49,860
Can you please have a chance to succeed?

798
00:52:52,860 --> 00:52:53,780
Yeah, thanks, Sean.

799
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:54,920
Thank you, guys.

800
00:52:55,260 --> 00:52:58,340
I mean, you made it possible to show off.

801
00:52:58,580 --> 00:53:00,220
So thank you, really appreciate it.

802
00:53:01,820 --> 00:53:04,480
That said, Mr. Chairman, that's that item.

803
00:53:04,780 --> 00:53:08,360
And then knowing the time, and everybody's raised here

804
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:09,720
still around the song.

805
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:11,980
Last time on your agenda, Mr. Chair?

806
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:13,080
Yeah.

807
00:53:14,340 --> 00:53:15,760
When shall we meet again?

808
00:53:16,380 --> 00:53:20,300
Sounds like the county council may have some new names

809
00:53:20,300 --> 00:53:26,520
for us, or new members for us in a week, would

810
00:53:29,180 --> 00:53:33,840
it, I mean we don't need to meet monthly

811
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:41,720
year, I think for a while we've been meeting quarterly, but I wonder, could we have a meeting

812
00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:49,520
next month and get the new membership on the role and up to speed on activities and responsibilities?

813
00:53:51,160 --> 00:54:04,440
I don't like that very much if you guys are going to, I like to get them on board and feel like I feel like with one of our previous board members, he wondered after three months of being approved, you know, just one of those he had said yesterday because we were working together.

814
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:10,940
And so, with that being said, I think that would be fantastic, and it would really help

815
00:54:10,940 --> 00:54:14,040
to bring them on board before the marathon meeting.

816
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,480
Now, Mark asked a great question, our mayor, about what it looked like as I talked to

817
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:19,160
these individuals.

818
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,180
And I told him at the time that I said, the state really wants us to have a minimum quarter

819
00:54:23,180 --> 00:54:23,580
of it.

820
00:54:24,060 --> 00:54:26,320
I said, Rich County needs much more freedom than that.

821
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,440
Part of that is the way that they were pulling their real county grant money.

822
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,640
But frankly, Boxel and their cash are very similar

823
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:35,800
if they know anything about it.

824
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,220
In the U.S. they'll agree to see what we can do.

825
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,420
And so, the state wants that it is a minimum.

826
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,580
But I think with a hint that I'm trying to give softly,

827
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,060
just probably try to talk about that over six years.

828
00:54:47,860 --> 00:54:50,040
If two of those are immediately, like the review,

829
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,820
the 20-year review, the last year for the grant report,

830
00:54:54,980 --> 00:54:58,320
and then another one within an altitude for the grant application,

831
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:03,060
there's two of them down. And I know they're all busy, but I think tonight is a

832
00:55:03,060 --> 00:55:08,940
perfect example. We round table for two hours every that day, but just things. And I

833
00:55:08,940 --> 00:55:12,600
take for granted because I'm talking to you guys all the time in between these

834
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:18,220
meetings. And I take for granted you all probably have this conversation soon, and I

835
00:55:18,220 --> 00:55:21,880
thought the questions that were asked back and forth and it just proved me that. I

836
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,700
think, you know, that's a perfect example of this and what it's supposed to be. And

837
00:55:25,700 --> 00:55:29,860
And when we don't have them, we will get that cross-fall distribution of everything that's going on.

838
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,640
So, I know we don't need to have meetings for being safe, but I'm just here to tell you.

839
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:39,620
I mean, of course, that the state would like us to be at least quarter-e, I would suggest maybe we can add those up a little bit.

840
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:41,480
And maybe they're briefer.

841
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:46,500
How's the last week of September?

842
00:55:47,740 --> 00:55:50,480
Because we're at the 19th of August right now.

843
00:55:52,740 --> 00:55:57,120
So the past of the 19s would probably be better than anything.

844
00:55:59,260 --> 00:56:02,940
Yeah, and I did tell him that, hey, right now, this is what we typically mean.

845
00:56:03,020 --> 00:56:04,240
It's like 5'36 o'clock.

846
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,760
I mean, today's an exception of work.

847
00:56:07,100 --> 00:56:11,820
We're here before we end the work day, but oftentimes we end up in the work day.

848
00:56:12,420 --> 00:56:14,820
And some of them are like, well, I think I can have them.

849
00:56:15,260 --> 00:56:18,480
And I said, listen, with as many members as we're about to get,

850
00:56:18,660 --> 00:56:22,000
I probably need to be directed to send out a win as good a poll or be a poll.

851
00:56:22,860 --> 00:56:29,100
find out. So I think they're all kind of teed up to know that they'll be able to get some

852
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:33,200
of their input to, you know, but let's be honest, there's some of them that are pointed,

853
00:56:33,460 --> 00:56:37,620
but then we choose dates that just don't work for one or two members, that might be out of those,

854
00:56:37,780 --> 00:56:40,780
and you know, they show their interest that they're just going on the way.

855
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:47,460
So Mark, back to you, when you guys want to have a look at the weekend of the 28th,

856
00:56:47,460 --> 00:56:48,240
is that what you were suggesting?

857
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:55,980
Yeah, so I would just throw it out there as a proposal of September 30th, which is a Wednesday.

858
00:56:56,780 --> 00:57:04,960
It may be 4, 430, because if we have lots of people, it could be another 2 hour meeting.

859
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:10,780
I think people would like to be heading home by 6630 at the latest.

860
00:57:12,180 --> 00:57:22,940
What about my own business? I was not off to this, but I feel like I'm just talking about myself out of it, but what about a workshop meeting before an official meeting to kind of introduce them to one another?

861
00:57:23,620 --> 00:57:35,900
It doesn't have to be the whole work, but I mean, it's really the three of you. If we started officially at 4.30, which can't come to 5.30, I'm not trying to speak to you guys, I was just trying to think about how to accommodate not having an American.

862
00:57:36,420 --> 00:57:41,320
If you guys have been doing this for years, you don't need to move on prior to the day of the call.

863
00:57:46,910 --> 00:57:52,590
Yeah, I think the 30th would be great. We give everybody something to shoot for.

864
00:57:54,070 --> 00:58:01,250
And yeah, if we could do 4-4-30, that would be great. I typically have a conflict at 6-30 on Wednesdays.

865
00:58:07,190 --> 00:58:13,050
But we can do a poll to see if that works for everybody.

866
00:58:17,410 --> 00:58:19,630
Great. Thank you.

867
00:58:20,230 --> 00:58:25,590
Any other comments, business? Shall we adjourn?

868
00:58:31,690 --> 00:58:35,590
I don't know where the gavillon there's the gavillon.

869
00:58:39,490 --> 00:58:44,350
Don't tell George I was playing with his gavillon.

870
00:58:44,430 --> 00:58:46,010
I guess it's not George.

871
00:58:46,010 --> 00:58:47,590
That should, Santa, you can send you.

872
00:58:48,850 --> 00:58:49,450
Okay.

873
00:58:51,190 --> 00:58:52,030
Thanks everybody.

874
00:58:52,510 --> 00:58:53,330
It's Danielle again.

875
00:58:53,870 --> 00:58:54,450
Just a few minutes.

876
00:58:55,310 --> 00:58:56,730
You can see the shoulder.

877
00:58:57,050 --> 00:58:57,150
Yeah.

878
00:58:57,730 --> 00:59:01,130
I'll look at the gallery on what Golan tells me about that.

879
00:59:01,590 --> 00:59:06,910
I might expect a, you know, hand slide.

880
00:59:07,130 --> 00:59:09,490
So we'll fire it and we'll fire it back.

881
00:59:11,050 --> 00:59:11,130
Wow.

882
00:59:12,490 --> 00:59:13,390
Well, yeah.

883
00:59:14,230 --> 00:59:14,770
Okay.

884
00:59:15,310 --> 00:59:16,290
You need a, um,

885
00:59:16,290 --> 00:59:19,550
Can you breathe? Do you need a signature on the policy?

886
00:59:21,110 --> 00:59:24,330
So how long are we going to take to take a toilet

887
00:59:24,330 --> 00:59:26,430
in that table? Innovation hub.

888
00:59:26,990 --> 00:59:28,090
One that you want.

889
00:59:29,290 --> 00:59:34,370
I think that if we walk fast and cover the whole building

890
00:59:34,370 --> 00:59:35,490
in about 15 minutes.

891
00:59:39,150 --> 00:59:41,370
If you want to plan a half hour,

892
00:59:42,770 --> 00:59:43,690
that would be great.

893
00:59:43,690 --> 00:59:51,400
I don't know who that is, but I think it's something that I'm going to be able to say to you.

894
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:51,720
That's right.

895
00:59:51,980 --> 00:59:52,660
It's about everybody.

896
00:59:52,860 --> 00:59:54,420
You just got to bend down and kiss one.

897
00:59:54,500 --> 00:59:54,980
I see that.

898
00:59:55,700 --> 00:59:56,100
That's right.

899
00:59:56,420 --> 00:59:57,000
Let's see you guys.

900
00:59:57,020 --> 00:59:57,500
See you, Brian.

901
00:59:57,700 --> 00:59:58,420
We'll see you on the ground.

902
00:59:58,700 --> 00:59:59,080
Thank you.
