1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:15,240
If I look on the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, on the nation, I'm under the indivisible with liberty and justice for any

2
00:00:19,050 --> 00:00:25,530
church and mosque, any? Where do we see the Canadian Order? Task 123.

3
00:00:29,110 --> 00:00:37,070
That's as long as it's going to get. I have to talk loud. Yeah, I've never been accused of talking quiet, but.

4
00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:42,790
all right do you have a motion to approve the minutes I'll make the motion

5
00:00:43,690 --> 00:00:51,250
motion do we have a second second they take it and that's each party yes any

6
00:00:51,770 --> 00:01:00,270
further discussion all those in favor say aye those opposed minutes are approved

7
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,280
Thank you, Scott.

8
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:05,320
You're welcome.

9
00:01:06,860 --> 00:01:08,680
Do you want to just go ahead, Jessica?

10
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:11,300
Sure.

11
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:13,100
Good morning, everyone.

12
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,760
Thanks for letting me call in today.

13
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,580
One, it's probably best for all of you,

14
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,180
because I've got some kind of bug here,

15
00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:21,420
and better not share, best to not share.

16
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:24,320
And just wanted to touch base.

17
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,880
Unfortunately, I was hoping we'd have more things to talk about by now,

18
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,660
but we're still waiting to hear on the Flex Road

19
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,240
applications, or flex for the road project applications and prairie dog applications.

20
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:47,420
But it sounds like you did get good news on your one bridge removal bridge bridge flex project.

21
00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:53,920
They granted you a removal of that structure just kind of south of Florida there actually

22
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,760
on the Cheyenne.

23
00:01:56,220 --> 00:01:58,760
So I just wanted to touch base a little bit on that.

24
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:07,080
I know you guys are waiting actually to hear more from the state, I would assume that hopefully they'll be getting a hold of Scott here soon on that.

25
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,680
And then we can talk about bid dates and all of those things.

26
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,580
It's not federal dollars, but we'll still have to do cultural and wetlands.

27
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:26,740
So we're going to reach out to our, because preliminary engineering is all in the county.

28
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:35,640
If you guys are okay with it, I'll reach out to our sub-consultants for those items and get a price estimate or cost estimate together for that.

29
00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:41,060
And then we can get a number together for the preliminary for you guys to proceed with.

30
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:50,790
It should be pretty not very complicated set of plans anyway, as far as an engineering standpoint

31
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:55,730
for the rainbow book, but we will have to do cultural and wetlands.

32
00:02:56,670 --> 00:03:01,450
It's a trust bridge, so there's potential that they might want to look at.

33
00:03:02,490 --> 00:03:05,590
It could possibly be eligible for historic.

34
00:03:06,830 --> 00:03:09,870
So we might end up going through adoption process.

35
00:03:09,870 --> 00:03:14,250
I don't know that yet. Well, no more once we have a cultural survey completed, but

36
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:20,630
because it is a trust bridge, there's a chance of it. With that being said,

37
00:03:21,590 --> 00:03:26,030
I would guess that the students we could probably have something prepared and ready for bed would

38
00:03:26,030 --> 00:03:33,430
be, you know, shoot for spring of 27. So just to give you guys kind of a heads up of where we're at

39
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:39,850
on things with that, of course, we can discuss that further if it's something different you want to

40
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:50,890
environmental pieces I don't see us getting it ready for bid probably any sooner than winter of this this year December, maybe for a spring bid. So, excuse me.

41
00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:55,950
Any questions on that? On that bridge removal for me?

42
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,740
which bridge that's down in West Ham a little,

43
00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:07,800
it's actually out in the middle of a pasture.

44
00:04:08,660 --> 00:04:11,840
The city may just go out there about two years ago

45
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,640
and barricaded it.

46
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,900
So it hasn't been used in,

47
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,020
I knew what you wanted me to do.

48
00:04:19,140 --> 00:04:20,640
It's way out in that pasture.

49
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,180
Yeah, I had no idea when the last time it was ever used.

50
00:04:25,180 --> 00:04:33,620
was, that basically came about the states and an email and said, list this to be ready

51
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:41,740
to say you may want some work done on versus started to bore it down. And they said,

52
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:48,580
oh, it'll fix this one. That's stupid. We get a report and stand and that's how we ended

53
00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:49,060
up here.

54
00:04:51,320 --> 00:05:04,780
Yeah, so it's because it's a large stretch or over 20 feet, it's listed through the DOT as an eligible bridge, which means you're paying for an inspection every whatever their inspection cycle is four or five years for them.

55
00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:14,360
They're basically well inspected and say, hey, you have to need to be close. You can't use it so by going through this removal process that removes it off your books that removes it off of the state's books.

56
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:23,940
You don't have to pay for those inspections anymore, and then it, you no longer have a bridge that's listed as in back condition or critical condition.

57
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,000
I'm looking at a decent amount of money every year on bridge inspections.

58
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Yep.

59
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:32,440
Yep.

60
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,380
And I guess something that we haven't really talked about Scott, but I kind of assumed because it's in the middle of nowhere.

61
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:45,400
it doesn't look like anybody's used it for many many years. I would assume that it's just a

62
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:55,440
removal and it isn't going to be an issue, but um is it a road to live at all? No, it's nothing

63
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,880
across the path really.

64
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,140
Maybe once a fauna guy might be able to find.

65
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,500
So yeah, it's all

66
00:06:08,020 --> 00:06:15,540
barricaded, and nobody can get across it or use it. Which is a good thing. Yeah, and so you were

67
00:06:15,540 --> 00:06:21,200
awarded select funds for it, which means that the state will pay 100% of your construction and

68
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,620
construction engineering to remove the structure.

69
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,520
The preliminary, like I said, the preliminary

70
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:35,960
engineering would be on the county, but with it being a removal, it's not going to be as elaborate

71
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,260
of a process as just as a replacement would be. So with

72
00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:57,900
that, I guess the only other thing that I was thinking of touching base on here was the contract for Brown's road overlay there.

73
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:10,020
Well, you guys signed with Knight River. The next step that you have is to go through the RFP process to select a project engineer for the construction engineering.

74
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:16,440
And I believe Bonnie started the documents for advertisement and so that's kind of where

75
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,040
that's at as we'll go through that that hoop there.

76
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:26,220
And then once the project engineer or an engineering firm is selected they can reach out

77
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:29,960
to Knife River and kind of get some timelines for you when they're thinking they're going

78
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,700
to be there and and stuff like that so

79
00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:40,240
anything else that I'm think that I'm forgetting.

80
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,100
And now we're kind of on the holding pattern on the rest of it.

81
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:52,380
Yeah, so the last we heard, we just emailed the state last week because we had gotten stuff.

82
00:07:52,760 --> 00:08:07,120
You know, everybody had heard on their bridges, but we hadn't heard anything on roads and what we heard from Brandon by key down there at the DOT was that the projects have been selected and moved on to their next level of approvals whatever that is.

83
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,580
and so he's hoping we hear something soon.

84
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,220
What soon means is everyone's best guess.

85
00:08:13,540 --> 00:08:16,740
So hopefully we're hopeful it's by the end of this week.

86
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:19,820
This is a long way to push this out.

87
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,700
Two and a half minutes late right now.

88
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:26,540
Yeah, yeah, they told us to end of December at one point.

89
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:30,860
So we're a little bit behind here, but hopefully,

90
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,220
hopefully as soon and hopefully you guys get some good news.

91
00:08:34,220 --> 00:08:42,360
we had applied for a couple of township projects and then the chip seal that you guys had talked about

92
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,940
last month, countywide chip seals. So once we hear on that countywide chip seal, then you guys can

93
00:08:47,940 --> 00:08:54,760
make that decision about whether or not you need to consider county funds for any chip seals with

94
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,580
here or not. So

95
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,160
we'll wait for this baited breath to hear on those and as soon as you hear something or

96
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,020
we hear something we'll be back in touch.

97
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:05,660
That

98
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,060
one's good.

99
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,900
So you got Jessica?

100
00:09:11,740 --> 00:09:13,540
That's all I have unless you guys have something

101
00:09:13,540 --> 00:09:14,940
I appreciate you letting me call in.

102
00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:22,220
What else you got Scott?

103
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,260
Oh, I just have a couple quick things.

104
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,340
You may have noticed in the bills,

105
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,140
we have a matter of construction for gravel,

106
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,200
that will finish out any of the gravel bills for 2026.

107
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:46,200
So it's not Greg and this stuff on and on, 45 to me, or 25 to excuse me, that would be nice for those of us.

108
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,320
You're not going to grab all the jerk.

109
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,420
You're not going to grab all the jerk.

110
00:09:52,300 --> 00:10:00,500
And we do have a few piles out there stockpiled that will already paid for for next year or so.

111
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,360
So everything else is done for last year or so right now.

112
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:16,280
The only other thing I really have, the guys are just right now, they're working on trailers

113
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:23,600
in the shop, the black guys go out occasionally and they're directly about all they've been

114
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:23,920
doing.

115
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:27,500
They're driving the roads today just to see.

116
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:39,640
As far as the MPG grant, everything has been approved, but they haven't released the funds yet.

117
00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:50,700
So until they do, I won't be getting any quarter of the reimbursement until the state gets the money, so we're just kind of...

118
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:58,340
They said there was the waiting and we'll see what happens, but the grant itself has been

119
00:10:58,340 --> 00:10:58,780
approved.

120
00:11:01,350 --> 00:11:04,130
That's pretty much all we've got waiting

121
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,660
on the flights and stuff.

122
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:11,980
Sounds good.

123
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,820
With the state, that's the way to do.

124
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,000
Any questions?

125
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:25,340
I found a sander that goes in a pickup box on, aren't it, please put marketplace for $1,500.

126
00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:33,060
know if I don't know if you guys have a use per one. Pretty good price. I thought it would open

127
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:40,840
you up to all kinds of phone calls from the standard sidewalks. Well, if they're going to do that,

128
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:48,520
yeah, but I didn't know if you guys have a need for anything like that for intersections or something

129
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,880
Instead of running that product out there, something to think about.

130
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560
The odd things you might need at the time.

131
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,880
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

132
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,080
What's in a while you get.

133
00:12:02,380 --> 00:12:04,880
Because usually you're going to end up doing most of the road.

134
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,160
Right.

135
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:07,580
It's definitely an intersection.

136
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,980
And this happens to be over by, you know, a woods rut near something.

137
00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:25,100
and Frank Green has one that I have to do is call him and he

138
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:29,520
lives over there, so he'll run out and do it, you know, if we don't

139
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,260
have time for the Sanders busy someplace else because that's

140
00:12:34,260 --> 00:12:37,340
just sort of way out on its own over there.

141
00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:43,410
He said he would do

142
00:12:43,410 --> 00:12:46,070
do a load's grout and then brown road if we did them too.

143
00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:55,370
But yeah, this way we can launch it at it.

144
00:12:56,190 --> 00:13:02,630
Well, if it fits in, or if it does it, if it doesn't find it.

145
00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:04,910
Just kind of like, what the heck would you put it in?

146
00:13:05,610 --> 00:13:07,930
Yeah, take a three-quarter time to pick up at least.

147
00:13:08,490 --> 00:13:13,850
Yeah, on the one we have left on to the old bank and on

148
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,260
it in the new one.

149
00:13:29,180 --> 00:13:30,380
All right,

150
00:13:32,420 --> 00:13:32,700
thank you.

151
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:40,740
I would entertain a motion to re-point Dick Horner to the Benson County School Reorganization Board for three years.

152
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:42,900
I'll make that motion.

153
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,000
I'll second task.

154
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:48,120
We have a motion and a second any further discussion.

155
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:52,000
All those in favor say aye.

156
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,040
Okay.

157
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,260
I've got it.

158
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,500
Those opposed?

159
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,160
Motion carries.

160
00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:01,640
Benson County Transportation report, is that just FYI, Bonnie?

161
00:14:02,060 --> 00:14:02,920
It is, yeah.

162
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:03,660
Okay.

163
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,080
There's something about the county financial report, C.

164
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,060
It's just for your review.

165
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,520
It's the year end, one end, it's the one for December.

166
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:15,540
Okay.

167
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,760
And there's the versions going from 50,000 to 100,000 for parks and recreation?

168
00:14:25,530 --> 00:14:39,210
Well, yeah, it's a matching recreation grant program if you're interested in applying for it. I don't know if there was any projects that would follow that or not, but all of you in the country have been notified, right?

169
00:14:40,330 --> 00:14:41,290
I'm sorry to say that again.

170
00:14:41,950 --> 00:14:44,450
All the entities in the county have been notified of this.

171
00:14:44,970 --> 00:14:46,190
I don't send it out.

172
00:14:46,410 --> 00:14:51,050
Garrison sends it out to whoever they think would benefit from it as the way I understand it.

173
00:14:51,150 --> 00:14:53,550
Yeah, I think they can send it out all over.

174
00:14:58,530 --> 00:14:59,890
Anywhere we're discussing on the Garrison.

175
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,480
President one,

176
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:19,120
do you want to do sheriff's report right away? Or are we trying to figure this out? That's the county transportation director Elvani. Let's do Laura. I think she's here. Okay. She doesn't have to sit through the other. She doesn't want to.

177
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:28,420
Um, I'm thinking to updating this week, I met with Sean Ruin with the Lake Region

178
00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:35,020
Agone Service, he's the director, with trying to get some grants approved for equipment

179
00:15:35,020 --> 00:15:35,880
for my office.

180
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,760
I have yet to hear back yet, just with the holidays and things like that.

181
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,040
I'm sure he's in busy too.

182
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:51,920
We had an interview last week with the new higher option that they need to get some

183
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:57,960
stuff sorted out at their home agency before possibly moving here or accepting a position.

184
00:15:59,020 --> 00:16:06,600
So hopefully, for good news with that, I went to the middle of the walk-in city council meeting

185
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:15,540
last week, met with board with concerns of the red apartments and stop sign violations in town.

186
00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:23,580
I also plan on resigning the contract for your city controlling policing with recommendations

187
00:16:24,540 --> 00:16:31,880
of not requiring a deputy to live here as much as I want to. I push for it but with housing

188
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:38,620
limitations, I did advise the board that it's something I do want to have happen. It's just right

189
00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:46,420
now as I don't have that person yet, or availability of a house option. So the only way to go in the

190
00:16:46,420 --> 00:16:53,500
word age would be recommended not required, but it's still something I plan to push forward if we get

191
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:54,080
someone hired.

192
00:16:56,260 --> 00:17:02,020
All the swaths are now outfitted within your decals. The only one that will have the

193
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:08,160
goals lettering is that I drank okay nine units start knowing what the future

194
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,580
lays with it. I don't want to spend the money on it to change that up.

195
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,620
How do I need to get all of them to do this?

196
00:17:16,180 --> 00:17:23,680
I had a Cali Astid last week who assisted HP with a favorite resident who needs that

197
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:31,570
past wave injuries and also had a stabbing on the reservation resulting in a

198
00:17:31,570 --> 00:17:38,510
death with the world members involved. That subject has been apprehended. You

199
00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:43,950
just the juvenile, so they will be at the end of the investigation. Maybe that

200
00:17:43,950 --> 00:17:47,430
matter. The motive is unknown at this time.

201
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,540
I'm out of free, Sheriff. We're closing

202
00:18:01,540 --> 00:18:02,100
them out of count?

203
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:09,180
Yes, I have that on. I think I'm watching count. Yeah, Lord, maybe

204
00:18:09,180 --> 00:18:13,480
that's something that we're going to close out way back with Steve Roar was here, because

205
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,620
I don't think they're doing that program anymore. So the money is just kind of sitting there.

206
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:29,100
You know, it should be closed down. It's a few years ago. So I spoke with Brian Lane and

207
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:32,080
Ramsey counting about what he may think it is.

208
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:36,560
We know that statistics with crimes with BCI in our area,

209
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,940
but with our new caste system,

210
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,840
we use a different statistic company.

211
00:18:42,180 --> 00:18:45,160
So I don't feel where we need to be spending

212
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,580
the money on crime watched,

213
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,000
and neither does we share plenty.

214
00:18:54,620 --> 00:18:55,660
What's going on in the account?

215
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,680
It was like 2000 something, wasn't it 2000?

216
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,480
and it wasn't, I give you a shot of luck.

217
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:06,060
Where are you going to roll that money into then?

218
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:06,740
What's that?

219
00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:08,300
That isn't the old one.

220
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,520
Oh, yeah, no.

221
00:19:11,060 --> 00:19:12,120
Let me look here.

222
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:13,220
I'm missing.

223
00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:15,340
Well, I don't have to see where it can go into.

224
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,720
Probably just acting on the general fund.

225
00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:24,420
Or if Laura has some expenditure that would correlate with what the money was intended for.

226
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,520
Was it probably use it that way to get it closed out?

227
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:41,100
Yeah, I'm not sure we have to look into that to see where it could be sent out.

228
00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:43,740
But do you need a motion to close this account out?

229
00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:44,900
Yes, I do.

230
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:47,540
No, I'll make a motion to close the account out.

231
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:54,340
And if it can be transferred somehow to the sheriff's budget, Soviet otherwise general

232
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:54,940
plan.

233
00:19:56,180 --> 00:19:56,460
Okay.

234
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,880
We have a motion.

235
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,840
Seconded. Any further discussion?

236
00:20:04,290 --> 00:20:05,130
You good with that, Sheriff?

237
00:20:06,130 --> 00:20:07,130
I'm good.

238
00:20:08,990 --> 00:20:12,230
Any further discussion? Here and none. All those in favor? Say aye.

239
00:20:12,790 --> 00:20:12,930
Aye.

240
00:20:13,910 --> 00:20:16,650
Those opposed? Motion carries.

241
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,280
Anything else, Sheriff?

242
00:20:23,060 --> 00:20:24,300
No, I'm not for me.

243
00:20:26,820 --> 00:20:27,780
Ready for the cold weather?

244
00:20:29,950 --> 00:20:32,670
Unfortunately no, but it's common.

245
00:20:36,850 --> 00:20:50,870
We have time to do the transportation Bonnie. Yeah, that's fine. Okay, there's 825 we have the public comments. Yeah, anybody comes in. I'm not sure if anybody will be in, but I haven't heard of anybody, so.

246
00:20:52,930 --> 00:21:00,310
Okay, let's go ahead and do the acknowledge the resignation letter. We've already gone through this. We don't need it motion to accept it or not.

247
00:21:02,910 --> 00:21:13,250
Jim, do you have a motion to accept it, she was appointed by the board, but, I acknowledge it, except, I guess you can accept it, get Baker, come back to work.

248
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:13,830
Right.

249
00:21:16,830 --> 00:21:19,530
It's a few days, if you want motion on it, we can certainly do that.

250
00:21:20,630 --> 00:21:22,110
I don't think we need one, do we?

251
00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:24,210
Okay, we got a motion, let's go forward then.

252
00:21:25,890 --> 00:21:26,290
Second.

253
00:21:27,950 --> 00:21:28,330
Second.

254
00:21:29,390 --> 00:21:34,870
We have a motion in a second. Any further discussion on the resignation letter?

255
00:21:36,210 --> 00:21:38,190
Hearing none, all those in favor, say aye.

256
00:21:38,670 --> 00:21:38,930
Aye.

257
00:21:40,030 --> 00:21:44,710
Those opposed? Motion carries. Okay, and what are we doing to replace?

258
00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:48,290
I saw you had a couple different options for us, Bonnie.

259
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:51,270
Yes, I did. We have some options coming in, so.

260
00:21:51,770 --> 00:21:53,910
What's the first recommendation you would think?

261
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:05,780
Um, well, um, it's, to me, it's nice to keep, uh, keep jobs within Benson County. Um, so to me,

262
00:22:05,860 --> 00:22:10,960
it's nice that we can, you know, either hire a new director or orphan buying with, um,

263
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,400
like Benson County housing, something like that. Yeah, I see that on the first option was

264
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,000
Benson County, Halsey, and they're willing to do it for a waiting on a state to make sure that

265
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,520
that we can do this lawfully. Yeah, but she did send the, uh, email back. I don't know if you

266
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:31,580
seen that in your documents, but Becky Hanson did reply back, you know, thinking that as a

267
00:22:31,580 --> 00:22:37,340
viable option is to provide them, you know, the housing authority director position.

268
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,060
Thank you, thank you.

269
00:22:40,380 --> 00:22:42,080
I say we move forward with that option.

270
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,180
Yeah, David, did you read that email?

271
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,020
I did. It didn't really say for sure, though. It said that they liked the idea.

272
00:22:51,020 --> 00:23:01,420
Well, there's another email that she lays out some steps that we'd have to complete, I guess, if I have it here.

273
00:23:05,220 --> 00:23:05,680
One

274
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,740
of those emails from Becky Anninson.

275
00:23:12,340 --> 00:23:14,180
There's two, right? Yeah.

276
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,880
Yeah, it's one that says email from Becky Anninson, it's document number five.

277
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,720
So there were some thoughts and discussions for the upcoming board meeting.

278
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:30,660
what board will manage the Benson County Transit. So I'm guessing she's wondering whether

279
00:23:30,660 --> 00:23:33,820
it would be the housing authority board or if it would still be the commission.

280
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,740
Okay, the cost allocation plan would be required.

281
00:23:41,260 --> 00:23:42,000
That's your note.

282
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,500
Yeah, and we do, I

283
00:23:48,710 --> 00:23:52,690
know we do a cost allocation plan for the county. I'm having social services

284
00:23:52,690 --> 00:23:58,130
and that type of thing. So I'm guessing it could just kind of be combined into that maybe,

285
00:23:58,310 --> 00:24:00,790
or they could have done however it would work the best.

286
00:24:03,060 --> 00:24:03,900
I'm on a how

287
00:24:06,910 --> 00:24:09,110
Laura, when I say Laura,

288
00:24:09,130 --> 00:24:18,330
Laura went some up for sure. So she's willing to do it. She's an organized person.

289
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:26,590
And to me, transportation and housing, they kind of fit together. They do have somebody on the

290
00:24:26,590 --> 00:24:31,670
phones, I can ask the phones are pretty regularly. So that might take care of the

291
00:24:31,670 --> 00:24:37,270
boy there. If we do something else, we probably have to have some kind of

292
00:24:37,270 --> 00:24:47,630
oversight board set up too. And on dickhead, and doing things, running

293
00:24:47,630 --> 00:24:49,990
I mean, the administration was housing.

294
00:24:50,090 --> 00:24:53,690
She'd been there about a long 15 years.

295
00:24:54,250 --> 00:24:56,090
Oh, yeah, she'd been there a while.

296
00:24:56,790 --> 00:25:04,520
And she told me that having the transportation there,

297
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,700
many times as a factor of having a resident

298
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:10,460
in one of the facilities, that they need rides

299
00:25:10,460 --> 00:25:15,900
and one of these last ones letters that we had done,

300
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:19,380
and the person not being able to get the ride they needed,

301
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,240
when that person came into the housing units

302
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,860
wherever they're at, that was one of the things

303
00:25:26,860 --> 00:25:29,820
that they were pretty much insured

304
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:32,720
that was gonna happen that the ride would be available to them.

305
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,240
So, they do have that issue or discussion

306
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,600
with potential residents in our only house.

307
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,760
And so, there's a lot of things to go hand in hand with them.

308
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:55,300
And so, and especially in the Maddox, any walk-in area and she's very familiar with a lot

309
00:25:55,300 --> 00:26:00,240
of the people that potentially could be drivers or whatever, and also civil rights.

310
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:08,520
And also it'd be quite, we talked last time about inviting housing or getting rid of

311
00:26:09,220 --> 00:26:17,760
office or something like that cost saving, you know, this would be a good opportunity to do some cost saving for the county.

312
00:26:20,250 --> 00:26:21,810
Where is Lori's office now?

313
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:24,070
In West Bay, right here, right?

314
00:26:27,340 --> 00:26:34,300
That's what the main thing is in the apartment building, so we're here, you know, which in the direction we have to get to.

315
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:35,820
You drove by it, but you came to it.

316
00:26:36,420 --> 00:26:37,380
No, I couldn't.

317
00:26:37,620 --> 00:26:38,140
For us to leave.

318
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:38,860
Oh.

319
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:40,960
That's good.

320
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:41,140
That's good.

321
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,800
He came to it.

322
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:44,540
Let me ask everybody.

323
00:26:44,780 --> 00:26:46,660
So are we in favor of moving forward with this,

324
00:26:47,180 --> 00:26:48,260
if it's worth a ball?

325
00:26:49,780 --> 00:26:51,160
I'll make a motion that we,

326
00:26:51,340 --> 00:26:53,200
that we move forward with it.

327
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:55,640
Now, if we get a second,

328
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,620
then we can discuss it all second.

329
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,480
Okay, we have a motion and a second.

330
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:01,580
Any further discussion?

331
00:27:03,380 --> 00:27:04,240
That's the time.

332
00:27:07,420 --> 00:27:13,300
I think Laura would be willing to do that during the interview that we had earlier.

333
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:23,080
It seems like she's kind of at a time in her life where she's maybe looking for something new to add on or something and a little bit more challenging.

334
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:32,500
Certainly, I think we could save some money and provide better services because that's what we want.

335
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:36,280
is to provide better services, obviously.

336
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:44,060
But you mentioned staving money by clothing and office

337
00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:47,440
and which office are you thinking that?

338
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,500
Well, transportation has.

339
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,780
They've got a building in Maddox.

340
00:27:54,020 --> 00:27:57,960
We have the big building in Maddox

341
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,420
and then she has an office.

342
00:27:59,620 --> 00:28:03,560
Is there a reason, is she need to be in Maddox?

343
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,580
at this office,

344
00:28:07,610 --> 00:28:15,530
I think just the way it's set up in design, it has an office in there.

345
00:28:16,010 --> 00:28:21,190
I don't know how much time she spends in there, but there is an office in there.

346
00:28:21,370 --> 00:28:26,530
That office would stand empty if she were to operate out of the different office.

347
00:28:27,030 --> 00:28:32,530
But my guess is she functioned somewhere out of Maddox also because I think she spends

348
00:28:33,070 --> 00:28:37,490
a bit of time doing whatever her job is over there as well.

349
00:28:37,870 --> 00:28:39,610
It's probably a site visit service.

350
00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:43,350
But regardless, we have to keep the buses somewhere.

351
00:28:43,770 --> 00:28:44,830
Well, that's got the building to go.

352
00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:45,750
I don't know.

353
00:28:46,190 --> 00:28:46,490
It's up.

354
00:28:46,790 --> 00:28:50,950
I think we found a building that the vehicles are in now.

355
00:28:51,290 --> 00:28:51,430
All right.

356
00:28:51,570 --> 00:28:52,730
Thank you to the correct game.

357
00:28:52,730 --> 00:28:59,490
But how big is that office? Is there really it gets it's a little office in the side of the shop basically?

358
00:28:59,910 --> 00:29:04,350
So basically we have still the storage and maintenance facility for our

359
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:07,410
competition vehicles that can be stored there

360
00:29:08,510 --> 00:29:11,010
So the office really I

361
00:29:14,660 --> 00:29:16,700
don't think what we do I think what we do

362
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:19,240
And as we move to the buses over to the

363
00:29:20,180 --> 00:29:24,480
I don't think we do this building when really would need to close that and maybe there'd be

364
00:29:25,820 --> 00:29:37,360
We wouldn't be able to be in bleeds maybe for a couple of weeks while drivers are in depends on the depends on how she runs the so that's it move do things like that and I wouldn't

365
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:45,200
worry so much about what happens with the actual buildings until you know we've got another one or two second we haven't figured out yet so

366
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:52,220
it would get some kind of plan after we see how the program runs and write the ships and things like that could

367
00:29:53,780 --> 00:29:56,900
I don't know, are we even covering a lease from Jeff Holdon?

368
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,640
Sort of.

369
00:29:59,160 --> 00:29:59,740
So I'm happy.

370
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,420
That's just a question, basically. But we do have another pay and the leads shop, don't we? So if we did have somebody bus driver and leads, we've got a place we can put it inside. So, yeah. So those are options that we need to have somebody evaluate. But we could have another meeting for a deer, so the figure all itself. I was going to say maybe we should have yours.

371
00:30:29,420 --> 00:30:35,320
First up to our next meeting and we can discuss some things and give her a little bit of time to go into some options.

372
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,860
If we do go forward with the motion on the floor.

373
00:30:39,780 --> 00:30:41,800
I do agree with you Tammy.

374
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,100
That way we let Laura get involved and see what kind of plans she wants to do.

375
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,340
What works best for her and what.

376
00:30:50,340 --> 00:30:59,980
Yeah, I don't know what time we go out on our needs, but the salary and where we're planning.

377
00:31:00,220 --> 00:31:01,100
Yes, things, yeah.

378
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:02,040
Where you're planning.

379
00:31:03,380 --> 00:31:10,880
Lower is a planner, so that you can get your plan on any further discussion.

380
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:17,060
I'm planning to learn to call earlier this morning when we were in his applications with

381
00:31:17,060 --> 00:31:19,720
And I said, you guys will be going over some of the stuff.

382
00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:22,660
You know, your options this morning.

383
00:31:22,660 --> 00:31:25,580
So right now I'm guessing it's just kind of on old and less.

384
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:26,600
You're thinking of the ways.

385
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:29,360
Yeah, we don't have a director.

386
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,760
So we can't really make a decision.

387
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:32,520
All right.

388
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:35,900
Okay.

389
00:31:36,820 --> 00:31:37,980
Any further discussion?

390
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:45,000
What do you want to make a decision on this?

391
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,820
And there's a motion to move forward with combining the position with men's and coming housing

392
00:31:50,820 --> 00:31:54,920
for you is what I have on the blows.

393
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:56,460
So there's a promotion.

394
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,040
Laura Winston, what coming to the next meeting to discuss combining the departments?

395
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,560
Are we going to have a special meeting?

396
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,420
You know, to deal with the issue is we don't want to be without a director too long.

397
00:32:10,780 --> 00:32:12,160
We wait till next meeting.

398
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:18,080
I agree with you all, and the planning process could get going.

399
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,220
But we need to get feedback from Laura.

400
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:32,040
We need to check into offices and space.

401
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:39,940
You know, for us to just make a decision, now we don't have enough facts.

402
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,740
I don't think we have enough facts to make a decision right now.

403
00:32:44,620 --> 00:32:50,580
I think we'd probably better off if we do say we'll go with transplant holiday, but

404
00:32:50,580 --> 00:32:58,360
that organization plan to be put together by them, and so we, you know, it's the time

405
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:04,160
split, you know, that's a salary split, it's, you know, it's, which office are you going

406
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:14,400
to occupy, are you going to eat other health along the way, you know, if you're doing two

407
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,380
two budgets if, you know, do you need a secretary or something?

408
00:33:19,460 --> 00:33:21,260
Yeah, it's going to be, I would think,

409
00:33:23,290 --> 00:33:26,090
together, I don't know if you need two offices,

410
00:33:26,090 --> 00:33:28,650
because I don't think transportation, a lot of that's by phone.

411
00:33:29,470 --> 00:33:31,130
All for rights and organizations.

412
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:34,210
If they have an office that would have to go, could close.

413
00:33:35,010 --> 00:33:35,450
We

414
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,280
have a motion on the floor, any further discussion?

415
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:46,840
We're just moving forward with this plan.

416
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,220
And it could change.

417
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,260
Moving forward with it.

418
00:33:50,260 --> 00:33:53,700
Yeah. Okay, and for the discussion.

419
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:57,160
All those in favor say aye.

420
00:33:57,540 --> 00:33:57,860
Aye.

421
00:33:58,020 --> 00:34:00,520
Plus goes opposed.

422
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:05,140
Motion carries when we're moving forward right now and we'll see all goes.

423
00:34:05,580 --> 00:34:07,180
Laurel come in later on.

424
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:08,640
If we have to.

425
00:34:09,180 --> 00:34:14,860
Meeting or do a lot of until the next meeting on February 3rd.

426
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,460
Probably we do this, Bonnie.

427
00:34:16,620 --> 00:34:17,260
We have Laura.

428
00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:20,820
If Lauren thinks we need a special meeting, then we'll call one.

429
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:22,600
How's that sound?

430
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:23,760
That sounds good.

431
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,060
Actually, by the end of this time, just to figure out where it's headed.

432
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:30,040
Right.

433
00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:34,000
Now we're actually going to talk about the next few things here now.

434
00:34:35,340 --> 00:34:39,360
I said, I'm sure it's come up with lots of ideas that we have to think about.

435
00:34:40,260 --> 00:34:40,580
Oh, yeah.

436
00:34:41,060 --> 00:34:44,540
So, Mr. Chairman, can I enter up?

437
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:45,360
Sure.

438
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:50,120
Because I don't know, I'm not sure you guys know, but you're much brighter than me.

439
00:34:50,940 --> 00:34:59,860
I don't think this board is comfortable with what assets, transportation assets, your transportation service actually has.

440
00:35:00,220 --> 00:35:07,520
I agree, call a few weeks ago, whether you had a wheelchair left accessible van or not, nobody really knew.

441
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:16,880
So I am, you know, you have a brand new department now, just being stood up or reorganized.

442
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:26,060
I would like to email the author of this, maybe an audit, just a specific audit of that presentation resource.

443
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:29,980
Find out where you're at the set of books.

444
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,640
But in addition to the books, plant and equipment,

445
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:40,420
Who's been doing the maintenance on these vehicles, whatever the vehicles are, those kinds

446
00:35:40,420 --> 00:35:48,020
of things need to be ongoing, and I think as you plan for either combining or identifying

447
00:35:48,020 --> 00:35:54,940
and being director, you need to know what do we have in our toolbox to what resources do

448
00:35:54,940 --> 00:35:55,420
we have.

449
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:02,340
So maybe not at all it says, I don't even know who that is.

450
00:36:02,340 --> 00:36:04,320
That's a very good point, Mr. Wang.

451
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,060
I think Bonnie, who would we get to audit,

452
00:36:07,260 --> 00:36:09,120
so we know what kind of inventory we have,

453
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,180
all that stuff.

454
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:13,560
Well, the county has a variety of marks

455
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,500
and associates do our county audits,

456
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,920
and when we are county audits, the housing authority,

457
00:36:20,940 --> 00:36:22,040
not housing authority,

458
00:36:22,340 --> 00:36:26,860
that's county transportation is in on those audits.

459
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,820
So that is a combined audit.

460
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:29,780
We only have it then.

461
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:35,660
Well, we do, but we don't have it up. I mean, we would have to, we're not on 20, 25

462
00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:40,260
a lot of yet. So if you want something done, it would probably have to be a

463
00:36:40,260 --> 00:36:44,220
separate audit that's done right away because you want to get up and

464
00:36:44,220 --> 00:36:48,160
moving again with that department. They have a way for the county out that they

465
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:56,180
will be waiting while. Yeah, but I think it's essential that we have an audit.

466
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:08,000
your DOT coordinator by ants and I think was her awesome. She actually may have the inventory

467
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,180
and equipment listed because I know this kind of made that something to do with either

468
00:37:13,180 --> 00:37:19,240
money passing through a grant several years ago to buy some bad under transportation assets.

469
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,560
So what vehicles you cut?

470
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,140
Well, it needs to go over there and see if there's a file cabinet.

471
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,980
Is there maintenance records on the vehicles?

472
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,780
And that's the things that need to be done.

473
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:36,080
Who has the key to the office?

474
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:36,420
Right.

475
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:37,900
When Susan left.

476
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,960
What could Laura do that?

477
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:44,960
As she's already an employee of the county.

478
00:37:45,860 --> 00:37:47,980
And we did vote to go forward with this.

479
00:37:48,340 --> 00:37:50,420
Would it be appropriate to ask her to go?

480
00:37:50,420 --> 00:37:57,560
I think the one of the commissioners should be part of it, you're over it.

481
00:37:58,180 --> 00:37:58,940
I am.

482
00:37:59,540 --> 00:38:02,920
I sort of eyes lose on the ground and what do we got here?

483
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,980
I'm sorry, I just haven't gotten any rides ever, so I don't know what.

484
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,460
I'll go over and talk to the lawyer.

485
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,040
And I know there's equipment.

486
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,500
There's vehicles.

487
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:14,740
Look and see what I say.

488
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,580
Did Susan turn in keys and...

489
00:38:18,580 --> 00:38:24,200
She said that she didn't give me the code to get in and then she says the key is on stuff or inside the office

490
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:31,600
There was some notes on different things. I would meet Laura over there and we can look through and see what's there

491
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:39,160
If you want to raise that with her and then just call me and I'll give you the door code when you're ready to go over there the vehicle their own

492
00:38:40,740 --> 00:38:42,580
It's kind of

493
00:38:42,580 --> 00:38:48,840
the DOT controls because they have a lead on the title. So they still control them. They're

494
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,520
probably in our name so that we get to pay the insurance, I imagine, on the bills, whatever

495
00:38:53,520 --> 00:39:01,840
the plan is. And every three months, I believe it was, there was a report that went in the DOT for

496
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:10,900
reimbursement. So then Susan did hire a CPA. I forget her name right now. She lives in

497
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:18,400
and that I can believe so that there is, I agree with the audit, but we do have some

498
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:23,700
controls here, it wasn't just somebody ready to check off and decide about themselves.

499
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:26,500
So we, but it's good to do.

500
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,700
I'm not so concerned about what this may or may not be.

501
00:39:29,820 --> 00:39:36,500
I just don't know you guys need to know what assets, resources do you have as well.

502
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:45,200
And Laura Winston or housing whoever takes on that position, I think kind of needs to know that.

503
00:39:45,740 --> 00:39:45,880
Yeah.

504
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:47,020
Yeah.

505
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,060
Good question.

506
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,260
Who would service them?

507
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:51,880
Who would then serve us in?

508
00:39:52,540 --> 00:39:55,320
Well, there's a lot of questions that think we don't know anything.

509
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,260
That's we shouldn't know a lot more.

510
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:58,540
We should have.

511
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,940
And I can't see what coming to Susan Fawton gave you the reports and things like that.

512
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:10,040
And, you know, when the ship is sailing fine, we don't ask questions.

513
00:40:10,540 --> 00:40:15,960
So, now it's like, oh my gosh, we got to figure out how does this thing work.

514
00:40:16,620 --> 00:40:18,960
That one there is a change administration. I agree with Jim.

515
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,120
This should be an audit so we go.

516
00:40:22,020 --> 00:40:24,420
You're starting here and everyone can want our full film.

517
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:30,940
If you can hold a great mark and see if they're able to do it soon, if not, I'll find some

518
00:40:30,940 --> 00:40:34,560
other accounting place that will do it if that.

519
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,360
So what's worse, asking, I'm good.

520
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:40,600
Sounds good.

521
00:40:41,580 --> 00:40:43,360
Keep lower in the process too, Bonnie.

522
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:44,660
Sure.

523
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:47,640
Okay.

524
00:40:48,060 --> 00:40:49,720
I think care of that transportation.

525
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:55,640
Moving on, we have some financials.

526
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,380
We read a letter from the State Historical Society.

527
00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:02,980
I did not review that when I have it, but is that just FYI, Bonnie?

528
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,560
I think it's just for your information, yes.

529
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,000
We read a letter from the Auditor of the President dated January 20th regarding the designation

530
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,100
of the depositories.

531
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,420
What's that one about, Bonnie?

532
00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:24,480
That is just all the places that we deposit funds for Benson, Bonnie, the financial institutions

533
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:25,200
that we use.

534
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:39,850
So yeah, I saw that one. We got four banks. Yes, it's kind of the players of security deal with the elite. It kind of takes a place of it. We used to have to do a pledge of securities and now we just have to do a letter to basic positive.

535
00:41:40,690 --> 00:41:41,470
Once you hear.

536
00:41:42,510 --> 00:41:43,210
Okay. Yeah.

537
00:41:43,790 --> 00:41:44,870
I was learning a question.

538
00:41:45,130 --> 00:41:45,250
Yeah.

539
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:51,340
Okay. Do you have anything else for us, Bonnie?

540
00:41:53,500 --> 00:42:00,600
Um, just the bills. I guess that we got to say the start.

541
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:07,080
decided to get. Yeah, he did. He did. He did. Yeah, it wasn't for your information type thing.

542
00:42:07,220 --> 00:42:12,580
I think unless you see something in there that needs action. Well, say two months of make you

543
00:42:12,580 --> 00:42:19,740
help paint over there. I did get a letter and I assume you got a two that the Harrison diversion

544
00:42:20,860 --> 00:42:27,960
grant has been raised to 100,000 instead of 15. The matching grant. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was

545
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,300
in our documents there.

546
00:42:29,940 --> 00:42:32,550
We have a lot of money.

547
00:42:36,710 --> 00:42:38,950
Could that be something Scott would park for?

548
00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:44,910
Not only depends upon the projects that are able to be used for it.

549
00:42:46,810 --> 00:42:47,610
Here's a diversion.

550
00:42:48,310 --> 00:42:49,110
Here's a diversion.

551
00:42:49,550 --> 00:42:52,510
Some of it go into our like amount of events center,

552
00:42:52,810 --> 00:42:53,990
originally I think.

553
00:42:54,310 --> 00:42:56,410
Is for recreation.

554
00:42:58,230 --> 00:42:59,470
And they had priority.

555
00:43:00,170 --> 00:43:03,250
They kind of squeeze, I guess, he'd been centered into that for.

556
00:43:04,190 --> 00:43:06,150
Well, I think at that time, sewing pools

557
00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:08,690
brought by the existing block list.

558
00:43:10,510 --> 00:43:13,630
Sorry, I think that's what it was comfortable.

559
00:43:14,590 --> 00:43:18,670
But I mean, like the city park or something, what should be applied?

560
00:43:19,150 --> 00:43:20,750
Absolutely, many walk and park.

561
00:43:20,910 --> 00:43:21,410
City parks.

562
00:43:22,010 --> 00:43:26,110
Sort of the city of Manawaque and Manaka.

563
00:43:26,730 --> 00:43:28,510
or they know, are they aware of this?

564
00:43:28,690 --> 00:43:28,950
And you should.

565
00:43:29,470 --> 00:43:30,350
They get...

566
00:43:30,350 --> 00:43:30,530
Okay.

567
00:43:31,450 --> 00:43:32,590
They get some sense at all.

568
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:35,350
I guess, but maybe use it for the little part they had

569
00:43:35,350 --> 00:43:36,110
with the campsite.

570
00:43:36,510 --> 00:43:38,630
No, they probably got money for that before.

571
00:43:39,370 --> 00:43:42,370
And that's what the programs for it's at the South Park soon.

572
00:43:43,790 --> 00:43:46,310
Really isn't for like indoor facilities, I don't think.

573
00:43:46,690 --> 00:43:46,970
All right.

574
00:43:47,470 --> 00:43:49,370
So it's for outdoor recreation.

575
00:43:50,010 --> 00:43:52,330
And they're looking for extra money to help

576
00:43:52,330 --> 00:44:00,690
the cost share for the recreation component of the garrison diversion project, which is a 50-50 local match.

577
00:44:02,130 --> 00:44:04,410
So that's what they're looking to cover a lot of that.

578
00:44:05,270 --> 00:44:12,230
They're still going to pay off Graves Island State Park, the 50% on that, so local match.

579
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,060
And it's a great local program for the counties that are in the garrison diversion.

580
00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:20,740
It's quite a lot of good.

581
00:44:20,740 --> 00:44:27,140
If you go to the Garrison Diversion website or just Google them, there will be a category

582
00:44:27,140 --> 00:44:32,800
and you can see what you can use the grant for and what takes priority.

583
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,740
It's an easy read.

584
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:41,100
I think, certainly, there will be a tribe we had applied for the Grants Island School

585
00:44:42,420 --> 00:44:48,820
restoration project. We were denied, but anyway, it's not difficult to apply and think there

586
00:44:52,940 --> 00:44:58,560
But the last four rounds wasn't too long, it was over 200,000, I think they gave out.

587
00:44:58,940 --> 00:44:59,420
Could be.

588
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,900
On the side of the abolishment grant, they break that up. Where is it? Just one month, one grand.

589
00:45:07,300 --> 00:45:13,840
Well, let's, let's circle. So they split it out pretty good. Well, each county's got a director at the

590
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,620
dearest in the version. So they, they watched with it what they came for for each of their

591
00:45:18,620 --> 00:45:25,620
counties. So yeah. And Dave Johnson, who is third, Pennsylvania Commission, he was on, I don't

592
00:45:25,620 --> 00:45:32,440
on the rest of the year, but he used to be for a lot of years, so they watched these company.

593
00:45:33,220 --> 00:45:38,820
He got to watch it early, got to get the line here, took many years of the roller cast,

594
00:45:39,140 --> 00:45:39,460
far more.

595
00:45:40,340 --> 00:45:46,940
He got to make sure that this, let's properly come and jump in there to get there, little

596
00:45:46,940 --> 00:45:49,840
annoying at the pile because he's bald, so.

597
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:56,960
No, you just need a city auditor with a gift and gold to apply for the grant.

598
00:45:57,180 --> 00:46:01,520
It's relatively easy and that's pretty much it.

599
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:04,560
That you're going to get the grant.

600
00:46:04,740 --> 00:46:11,280
I mean, there's other people applying, but they've got a lot of money that they want to give away.

601
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,240
They do it every year.

602
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,280
Yeah, several times a year at least.

603
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,320
It used to be quarterly, but at least every six months.

604
00:46:21,220 --> 00:46:27,120
But you just need somebody to pick it up and vote and wants to write up a branch with an idea.

605
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:36,440
And I don't think the paperwork afterwards is that cumbersome really so I think it's pretty

606
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:43,320
be, you know, why, and then like Jim said, and then also the follow-up that paperwork they

607
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:51,180
need for their cost share program. And I think a lot of them look at it. The expend of

608
00:46:51,180 --> 00:47:00,280
this comes from the one mill, let me say, each colony, I think it's still one mill, for each

609
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,860
of each colony pays to the Firm and Sea District.

610
00:47:06,540 --> 00:47:12,600
I have a question on the bills for the Sheriff's Department

611
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:18,160
and I'm sure how it made Billing is not related to,

612
00:47:19,860 --> 00:47:23,460
related to the Stabbing, or is that a different?

613
00:47:23,460 --> 00:47:32,160
It would be different that juvenile stabbing would help us federally, we have nothing to do with it.

614
00:47:33,950 --> 00:47:38,290
Does they know isn't there quite a sort of shortage of juvenile places

615
00:47:41,010 --> 00:47:44,390
that are qualified to hold juveniles?

616
00:47:45,070 --> 00:47:48,370
We have grant works and board companies.

617
00:47:49,350 --> 00:47:55,590
And maybe there's something far ago, but there is one in board that you've actually purchased

618
00:47:55,590 --> 00:48:04,190
and have spent some of, right now we're typically Grand Forks, or mine not, and we have picked

619
00:48:04,190 --> 00:48:04,590
them up.

620
00:48:04,790 --> 00:48:05,990
Who could be shadowed?

621
00:48:06,070 --> 00:48:06,650
Grand Forks.

622
00:48:06,770 --> 00:48:07,470
I'm from Willis.

623
00:48:07,650 --> 00:48:08,390
It is Mark, too.

624
00:48:09,870 --> 00:48:17,330
And while there's Willis, too, but that's a treatment for some of the, but juvenile detention

625
00:48:17,330 --> 00:48:23,370
and prevents accounting, we're either, if grant fortune's open, it's not under renovation

626
00:48:23,370 --> 00:48:29,190
or something, that's where they go. So that's the building you're seeing. And then, and

627
00:48:29,190 --> 00:48:34,030
or, or accounting. You really got one with Arraja?

628
00:48:36,500 --> 00:48:39,260
Boys and girls ranch. Yeah, but again,

629
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:46,100
that is a, that is not a, a detention center. That would be more of a treat. That's good,

630
00:48:46,100 --> 00:48:51,220
can't have said setting the lower gets glitter once a lot of it is necessary.

631
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,960
That wouldn't benefit me to code a voice of guilt for a while. I don't know what it looks like.

632
00:48:58,140 --> 00:49:01,460
They would disvolve and go there. We were there just for a week.

633
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:08,060
Basically, the bill is daily fees for how many days after you're not sent in with

634
00:49:08,060 --> 00:49:13,980
detention for the facility. So like a jail they cost extra amount of dollars to do not

635
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:45,260
I don't think you have any currently in detention, Laura's

636
00:49:49,710 --> 00:49:53,130
wife still working good, but like it's

637
00:49:53,130 --> 00:49:57,330
like I'm sitting down like it's just right. She's a paper. See it. See the

638
00:49:57,330 --> 00:50:01,710
table. I have every one of the ideas to show who's

639
00:50:01,710 --> 00:50:03,310
going to be

640
00:50:09,130 --> 00:50:11,730
dividing us at some point. But I read for

641
00:50:11,730 --> 00:50:15,730
monthly reports on mileage for vehicles and officers and

642
00:50:15,730 --> 00:50:18,970
that sort of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Starting next month since

643
00:50:18,970 --> 00:50:21,170
the month is not over this. I'll

644
00:50:23,890 --> 00:50:26,550
make a motion to pay the bill

645
00:50:26,550 --> 00:50:30,450
small. Yes. Exactly. No motion to pay the bills. We have a

646
00:50:30,450 --> 00:50:37,870
second. Second. We have a second. Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye.

647
00:50:39,370 --> 00:50:43,550
Those opposed? Motion carries. And they know us, Bonnie.

648
00:50:44,850 --> 00:50:52,990
I have anything. That's crazy. Oh, did we have public comment? I saw that and I text Bonnie right away.

649
00:50:52,990 --> 00:50:54,030
What is this?

650
00:50:54,630 --> 00:51:01,310
But I didn't remember after you told me that, nobody here showed up for public comments.

651
00:51:02,590 --> 00:51:06,570
And then I get to be able to adjust how much time they get to stuff like that.

652
00:51:06,570 --> 00:51:11,710
Yes, I think, yeah, in the past, we've allowed five minutes per speaker, so I think the board

653
00:51:11,710 --> 00:51:12,810
is happy with that.

654
00:51:13,030 --> 00:51:14,070
I think we can continue that.

655
00:51:15,710 --> 00:51:16,190
So.

656
00:51:16,910 --> 00:51:18,250
And by the way, we're all famous.

657
00:51:18,510 --> 00:51:20,490
We were on Facebook live last year.

658
00:51:21,250 --> 00:51:21,970
Last meeting.

659
00:51:21,970 --> 00:51:23,530
