96
00:20:12,530 --> 00:20:24,740
I have a support this is Commissioner
Scott I'll support thank you any

97
00:20:21,530 --> 00:20:34,240
questions Commissioner Scott I have one
question for Kevin stack I don't know

98
00:20:31,370 --> 00:20:45,440
how many more bids we have to open but
on a bid two three and four so far our

99
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:51,800
wreaths Riley is in the running for the
lowest possible bid my question is how

100
00:20:48,890 --> 00:20:57,140
do we differentiate that with work that
has to get done I mean and all of that's

101
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:01,310
my question can all of these people can
wreath Riley or its pick are they going

102
00:20:59,540 --> 00:21:06,890
to be able to get all of those jobs done
on a timely basis because if you go with

103
00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:11,300
the lowest most qualified bid and they
happen to be the lowest most qualified

104
00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:16,670
bid then it it depends on whether or not
they can get the jobs done if you have

105
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:23,110
any problems with that Kevin at this
time we're evaluating exactly how you

106
00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:34,400
said it because of last year strike
three projects with them they had to be

107
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:37,780
completed last year we're gonna start
looking at these and this is what we

108
00:21:35,450 --> 00:21:43,970
wanted to see is how close these core
okay see that we do have the option for

109
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:49,730
example like Pokagon we're within five
thousand dollars of two bids that's

110
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:54,320
reasonable to start looking at schedules
and time to complete all right thank you

111
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:59,220
that was my only question thank you so
much I have I have a question mamie

112
00:21:56,900 --> 00:22:06,809
Yarnell of
also is the whatever it was the strike

113
00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:13,320
or disturbance is that over no it is not
but from what we understand wreaths and

114
00:22:10,289 --> 00:22:18,690
Riley has hired back from when are say
almost all of their employees after they

115
00:22:16,110 --> 00:22:22,260
have crossed the Union line so they've
got a full staff ready to go and we

116
00:22:20,970 --> 00:22:31,289
probably should be starting to see
asphalt here in the next two weeks okay

[Music]

143
00:27:32,890 --> 00:28:50,990
I would like to ask are there any other
things that we should do okay so we've

144
00:27:46,789 --> 00:28:59,809
already put out the meeting okay okay so
what we will do is Thursday I'm sorry

145
00:28:53,510 --> 00:29:04,299
the 16th at 9:30 correct okay
and if a board meeting it would be at

146
00:29:01,789 --> 00:29:04,299
10:30

147
00:29:08,390 --> 00:29:11,589
[Music]

148
00:29:11,730 --> 00:29:22,790
Anette yeah
and that maybe this is for you or for

149
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:30,270
Braden I had received something from
somebody a text message basically

150
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:38,010
stating that they could view our other
YouTube finance but they could not chat

151
00:29:34,170 --> 00:29:42,720
and ask a question if they did not have
a YouTube account

152
00:29:39,780 --> 00:29:47,730
now is there something that they have to
do differently or something we have to

153
00:29:45,900 --> 00:30:02,010
do differently because maybe that's why
we're not getting any public comments so

154
00:29:59,820 --> 00:30:10,410
that is probably if we're gonna use
YouTube all right but that was my

155
00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:16,010
question because if that's the case I
just don't want us to be in violation

156
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:23,970
especially on a board board meeting
whereas even though we have it we're not

157
00:30:20,690 --> 00:30:31,470
we're not allowing the public then to
make comments due to the fact they can

158
00:30:27,630 --> 00:30:38,490
it I mean it's got me we are allowing
them to do it they just they just have

159
00:30:34,050 --> 00:30:42,780
to use YouTube's system which means they
have to say yes to the parts that

160
00:30:40,830 --> 00:30:50,100
YouTube says you have to have to be able
to do public comment and chat the only

161
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:52,909
thing commissioner scours I put in my
email

162
00:30:50,659 --> 00:30:58,009
my name and then it allowed me to do
that and remember that if somebody wants

163
00:30:55,999 --> 00:31:01,639
to address you in public comments no
differently then you would have them do

164
00:30:59,570 --> 00:31:04,789
that at a regular meeting they would be
able to have to say who they are their

165
00:31:03,289 --> 00:31:08,929
first and last name and they have to say
where they're from and we're still going

166
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:13,399
with that with that guideline and in
addition our public comments are never

167
00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:18,440
intended even even in the in face to
face for them to have a back and forth

168
00:31:15,409 --> 00:31:22,369
between the board and the company so we
are still allowing them to have an

169
00:31:20,179 --> 00:31:26,840
opportunity and really that's all you
would have to do is put your name and

170
00:31:24,649 --> 00:31:32,899
your email address and you are able to
check it was very easy I did it very

171
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:37,039
quickly okay okay I was just wondering
because I had heard that I don't

172
00:31:34,639 --> 00:31:41,599
understand this and I'm not getting
involved in a YouTube thing because I am

173
00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:47,840
at a zoom meeting I don't know what
happens in the peripherals with YouTube

174
00:31:44,059 --> 00:31:53,090
I just wanted to make sure that it was
available and how easy it was for them

175
00:31:50,509 --> 00:31:59,899
to get to it otherwise you know that was
the only reason I brought it up there is

176
00:31:56,749 --> 00:32:10,580
