contract modifications up to $5,000 may
[20:12] I have a support this is Commissioner
Scott I'll support thank you any
[20:21] questions Commissioner Scott I have one
question for Kevin stack I don't know
[20:31] how many more bids we have to open but
on a bid two three and four so far our
[20:39] wreaths Riley is in the running for the
lowest possible bid my question is how
[20:48] do we differentiate that with work that
has to get done I mean and all of that's
[20:55] my question can all of these people can
wreath Riley or its pick are they going
[20:59] to be able to get all of those jobs done
on a timely basis because if you go with
[21:04] the lowest most qualified bid and they
happen to be the lowest most qualified
[21:08] bid then it it depends on whether or not
they can get the jobs done if you have
[21:13] any problems with that Kevin at this
time we're evaluating exactly how you
[21:18] said it because of last year strike
three projects with them they had to be
[21:26] completed last year we're gonna start
looking at these and this is what we
[21:35] wanted to see is how close these core
okay see that we do have the option for
[21:41] example like Pokagon we're within five
thousand dollars of two bids that's
[21:46] reasonable to start looking at schedules
and time to complete all right thank you
[21:52] that was my only question thank you so
much I have I have a question mamie
[21:56] Yarnell of
also is the whatever it was the strike
[22:03] or disturbance is that over no it is not
but from what we understand wreaths and
[22:10] Riley has hired back from when are say
almost all of their employees after they
[22:16] have crossed the Union line so they've
got a full staff ready to go and we
[22:20] probably should be starting to see
asphalt here in the next two weeks okay
[22:25] thank you any other president would you
call the roll please
[22:33] Commissioner Garber I abstain mr.
Harrison yes yes I do yes okay okay

[27:01] oh do you call the roll and that is that
what yes
[27:10] mr. Harrison yes yes yes thank you
[27:28] [Music]
[27:32] I would like to ask are there any other
things that we should do okay so we've
[27:46] already put out the meeting okay okay so
what we will do is Thursday I'm sorry
[28:53] the 16th at 9:30 correct okay
and if a board meeting it would be at
[29:01] 10:30
[29:08] [Music]
[29:11] Anette yeah
and that maybe this is for you or for
[29:15] Braden I had received something from
somebody a text message basically
[29:26] stating that they could view our other
YouTube finance but they could not chat
[29:34] and ask a question if they did not have
a YouTube account
[29:39] now is there something that they have to
do differently or something we have to
[29:45] do differently because maybe that's why
we're not getting any public comments so
[29:59] that is probably if we're gonna use
YouTube all right but that was my
[30:07] question because if that's the case I
just don't want us to be in violation
[30:13] especially on a board board meeting
whereas even though we have it we're not
[30:20] we're not allowing the public then to
make comments due to the fact they can
[30:27] it I mean it's got me we are allowing
them to do it they just they just have
[30:34] to use YouTube's system which means they
have to say yes to the parts that
[30:40] YouTube says you have to have to be able
to do public comment and chat the only
[30:47] thing commissioner scours I put in my
email
[30:50] my name and then it allowed me to do
that and remember that if somebody wants
[30:55] to address you in public comments no
differently then you would have them do
[30:59] that at a regular meeting they would be
able to have to say who they are their
[31:03] first and last name and they have to say
where they're from and we're still going
[31:06] with that with that guideline and in
addition our public comments are never
[31:10] intended even even in the in face to
face for them to have a back and forth
[31:15] between the board and the company so we
are still allowing them to have an
[31:20] opportunity and really that's all you
would have to do is put your name and
[31:24] your email address and you are able to
check it was very easy I did it very
[31:28] quickly okay okay I was just wondering
because I had heard that I don't
[31:34] understand this and I'm not getting
involved in a YouTube thing because I am
[31:39] at a zoom meeting I don't know what
happens in the peripherals with YouTube
[31:44] I just wanted to make sure that it was
available and how easy it was for them
[31:50] to get to it otherwise you know that was
the only reason I brought it up there is
[31:56] no charge many yard girl no charge for
YouTube right okay thank you are there
[32:08] any other feeds administrator wolf
anything you wanna know
[32:24] okay thank you what we're done we're
done
