1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,000
Okay, we'd like to welcome everybody out

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,599

00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:13,040
appreciate you being here in attendance

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,200

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,160
an opening prayer uh given by myself

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,920
after which Glenn Thirstston from the

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,119
attorney's office will give us the

8
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:24,630
pledge.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,279
Our

10
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:28,720
dearly father, as we bow before thee

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,160
this day, we are grateful for thy many

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,880
blessings. Father, we're grateful to be

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,200

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,800
the county to visit and and to listen to

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,360
the uh needs and the things that will

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,079
come across our table this day for our

17
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:46,000
uh county. Father in him, we ask thy

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,239
spirit to be with us this day. Please

19
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:49,760
bless us to be kind and understanding

20
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,920
one to another that we might understand

21
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,239
those things which will be presented.

22
00:00:54,239 --> 00:00:55,680
Father in heaven, we're grateful for the

23
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,160
many blessings that uh thou provides

24
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,680
unto us. We're thankful for the moisture

25
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,280
which we've received and ask that they

26
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,440
will provide more. Please bless us,

27
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Father, that our uh hills will be uh

28
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,200
wet, that we will not have uh any more

29
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,000
fires. Please bless uh those uh

30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
firefighters and emergency services

31
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,560
folks who are uh working at this time to

32
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,799
put other fires out throughout not only

33
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:20,400
the state, but the nation that they will

34
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,560
be watched over and kept safe. We're

35
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,920
grateful, Father in heaven, for the

36
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,080
freedoms we enjoy in this country. We're

37
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,280
grateful, Father, for uh those men and

38
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,640
women in our uh military and also our uh

39
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,880
police and fire and emergency services

40
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,280
folks who protect us and keep us safe.

41
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,720
Please bless and watch over them and

42
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,200
their families. Father in heaven, please

43
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,200
bless and watch over each and every one

44
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,799
of us and our families in this county.

45
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:48,240
Bless us with health and strength and

46
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,240
those things that we need. Father,

47
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,240
please bless those who are struggling or

48
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,720
having uh that have illness or have

49
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,560
struggles at this time that they will

50
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,479
bless them and boy them up and help them

51
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:00,560
through uh the struggles that they are

52
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,560
going through. Know of our love and

53
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,240
gratitude for thee and for thy son

54
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,840
father and we ask for this prayer and do

55
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,759
so in the name of thy son Jesus Christ.

56
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:17,030
Amen.

57
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,840
To the flag of the United States of

58
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,120
America and to the republic for which it

59
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,560
stands. One nation under God,

60
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,280
indivisible, with liberty and justice

61
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,710
for all.

62
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Thank you, Glenn uh Thirstston for the

63
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,000
pledge of allegiance. We appreciate you

64
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,840
helping us with that today. Uh

65
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400
administrative review uh reports and

66
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,480
future agenda items. Commissioner Perry,

67
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,680
do you have anything?

68
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,080
>> Uh no, we'll be doing one for mineral

69
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,560
lease committee next time, add adding a

70
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,599
person there, but other than that,

71
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:56,239
that's it.

72
00:02:56,239 --> 00:02:58,239
>> Okay. Commissioner Bingham, do you have

73
00:02:58,239 --> 00:02:59,519
anything?

74
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:00,640
>> Nope, not today.

75
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,519
>> Okay. I have nothing either. Uh do we

76
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:06,022
have any anything from staff attorney's

77
00:03:06,022 --> 00:03:07,920
[snorts] office?

78
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:08,959
>> Remind reminder this is the only

79
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:10,080
commission meeting we'll have during the

80
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,280
month of August because of the fair

81
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,840
though.

82
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,640
>> All right. Very good. Um

83
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,680
e emergency management issues. Mark,

84
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,400
we're good to go. Our fires are all out.

85
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,000
We're all doing good. Kevin's

86
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,840
>> people been doing a great job.

87
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,280
>> Okay. Well, let's hope we continue to

88
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,720
get more rain and no no lightning.

89
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,879
uh Charlene

90
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:38,959
uh ARPA or LTCF.

91
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:41,360
>> Nothing new on the agenda for

92
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,599
>> Okay. Thank you.

93
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:45,840
Okay. Uh Boxelder County employee

94
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,440
recognition and Commissioner Perry's

95
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,120
going to take care of that. Okay. We

96
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,799
received a nomination that uh I'm going

97
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:52,000
to read the whole nomination because it

98
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,959
is very impressive. Um, so our

99
00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:56,720
nomination was for Lieutenant Alexander

100
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,560
Evans of the Boxar County Sheriff's

101
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,920
Office. And it said, "For more than 20

102
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,200
years, he has been one of those rare

103
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,120
leaders who quietly keeps his agency

104
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,640
moving forward. He never looks for

105
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,400
attention or asks for recognition.

106
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,080
Instead, he simply sees what needs to be

107
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,680
done, takes responsibility for it, and

108
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,239
works until it is handled. The recent

109
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:14,319
agencywide uniform transition is one of

110
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:15,599
the clearest examples of that

111
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:17,759
dedication. This was a massive project

112
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:19,440
that affected employees across the

113
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,959
entire sheriff's office. It involved

114
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:22,240
coordinating vendors, managing

115
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,560
individual fittings and logistics, and

116
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,919
addressing countless questions and

117
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:28,479
concerns. Lieutenant Evans took his took

118
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:30,639
this responsibility seriously because he

119
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:32,240
understands that uniforms are not just

120
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,400
clothing. They directly impact employee

121
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,320
comfort, safety, confidence, morale, and

122
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,080
how deputies represent the agency every

123
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,240
day. He spent countless hours working

124
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,520
through the complex details,

125
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,000
prioritizing getting it right over just getting it

126
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,320
done quickly. He listened to employees.

127
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,600
He worked through uh through the

128
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,600
inevitable problems and willingly

129
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,360
absorbed a tremendous administrative

130
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,720
burden so the process would be

131
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,199
stress-free for the POS for stress-free

132
00:04:57,199 --> 00:04:59,680
as possible for everyone else. He

133
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,040
brought that same level of operation

134
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,560
dedication to the recent transition to

135
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,800
the new inmate phone provider. Again,

136
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,800
much of the complex work happened out of

137
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,800
sight, requiring deep coordination,

138
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,720
patience, problem solving, and following

139
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,039
through. By taking on the most difficult

140
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:14,479
pieces and doing the heavy lifting

141
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:15,919
behind the scenes, he helped make the

142
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:17,360
transition as smooth as possible for

143
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,440
both staff and daily operations.

144
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,199
Lieutenant Evans also leads the honor

145
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:22,720
guard with a profound amount of respect

146
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,360
and care. He recognized the amount

147
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,440
immense importance of his respon this

148
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,280
responsibility. Whether the team is

149
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,360
handling a routine flag detail or

150
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,880
representing the agency during times of

151
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,199
profound grief, his steady leadership is

152
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:36,960
absolutely critical over the past year

153
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,560
as our law enforcement family faced the

154
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,520
heavy reality of honoring one of our uh

155
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,840
one of our own recently fallen officers.

156
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,400
Whether he was leading the team through

157
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,919
the local funerals last August or

158
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:49,280
representing the agency at the memorial

159
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:51,120
ceremony in Salt Lake City in May or

160
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,479
standing vigil during the National

161
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:54,720
Police Week in Washington DC, he ensured

162
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,880
our fall and were honored with utmost

163
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,800
dignity. He approaches these assignments

164
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,560
with genuine kindness and he expects a

165
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,919
high level of professionalism during

166
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:04,080
these details. But he balances that with

167
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,600
a deep understanding of the emotional

168
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,000
toll that they take. Always making sure

169
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,680
his team is supported and cared for

170
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,759
throughout these demanding deployments.

171
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:13,360
What stands out most about Lieutenant

172
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,280
Evans is the way that he makes employees

173
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,960
feel important. He genuinely notices

174
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,400
people, takes the time to listen,

175
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,000
recognizes their contribution, and

176
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,080
reminds them that their work matters.

177
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,840
With over two decades of experience, he

178
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:27,600
is deep has a deep understanding of the

179
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,680
people here. He has a unique ability to

180
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,919
identify potential in others, mentor

181
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:34,000
future leaders, and quietly step in to

182
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400
help balance workloads. He holds people

183
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,160
accountable, but he never makes them

184
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,880
feel disposable. He makes them feel like

185
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,400
an essential part of the agency's

186
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,639
success. Most importantly, he actively

187
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:46,400
builds morale by creating an environment

188
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,919
where people feel genuinely supported

189
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:50,160
and valued, especially during difficult

190
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,240
periods. His leadership is rooted in

191
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,919
service, humility, and true desire to

192
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:55,919
see others thrive. So much of what

193
00:06:55,919 --> 00:06:58,000
Lieutenant Evans does is not highly

194
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,800
visible. It is it is the problem he

195
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,800
solves before it becomes a bigger issue.

196
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,560
The employee he takes a moment to check

197
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,039
on, the workload he quietly helps carry

198
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:09,039
or the detail he catches that keeps

199
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:11,280
something running smooth.

200
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,120
The those things may not always draw

201
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,639
attention, but they make a very real

202
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:15,840
difference in our daily culture.

203
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Lieutenant Alexander has spent his

204
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,840
career supporting this agency, his its

205
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,520
employees and the people of Boxer

206
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,520
County. The extraordinary effort he put

207
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,280
into the uniform transition, the inmate

208
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,639
phone system, the honor guard, and the

209
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:28,400
daily unwavering support he gives to our

210
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,400
staff makes him highly deserving of the

211
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,520
recognition as employee of the month.

212
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,720
And so therefore, we'd like to invite

213
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,880
Lieutenant Ale Evans to come forward and

214
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,400
be recognized as our employee of the

215
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,505
month for this month.

216
00:07:38,505 --> 00:07:45,700
[applause]

217
00:07:45,710 --> 00:07:48,309
» [applause]

218
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:53,350
» And it's also your birthday this month.

219
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,160
» I'm trying to forget.

220
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,730
>> Thank you.

221
00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:04,000
[cough and clears throat]

222
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,960
>> Okay, perfect. We don't have any

223
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,759
>> I know, right?

224
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:10,319
>> Watch on my wrist. I got you.

225
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:11,520
>> Turn off his

226
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,039
>> smile.

227
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:15,520
Okay, now we'll just glare.

228
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,360
We got you.

229
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:24,790
>> Thank you.

230
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:36,070
» Oh, hey.

231
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,159
» Thank you, Lieutenant. And you notice a

232
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:39,760
lot of his employees were here because

233
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,880
that's how they're the ones that

234
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,479
submitted him for this is the folks that

235
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:43,919
work with him. So that shows you the

236
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:45,120
care that they have and they appreciate

237
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,200
his efforts. So

238
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,440
we really appreciate our law enforcement

239
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,866
and all that they do for us. Uh

240
00:08:51,866 --> 00:08:52,800
[cough and clears throat]

241
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,399
so thanks for all that they do. We

242
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,040
appreciate all of our employees. Um

243
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,640
we're very blessed in this county to

244
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,040
have great employees.

245
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,839
Um,

246
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:06,320
auditor's office approval of the update

247
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,399
to the consolidated fee schedule

248
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:11,680
resolution number 2624.

249
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,000
Shirley Larson and this has been a big

250
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,870
job. Thanks, Shirley.

251
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,600
» I think we've got a final version we

252
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,240
hope of consolidated fee schedule. There

253
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,581
are always some fees that get missed

254
00:09:26,581 --> 00:09:28,800
[clears throat] as we tried to combine

255
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,320
everything and make sure we had a

256
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,360
complete list and also some adjustments

257
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,839
to fairgrounds fees. So if there's any

258
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:37,519
questions regarding that was a big

259
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:40,000
endeavor like you say between attorney's

260
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,839
office and and all the departments truly

261
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:45,200
>> well and everything that everything it

262
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,959
touches it's all of us and so yeah it's a quiet job.

263
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:53,269
>> Yeah.

264
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:55,279
and entertain a motion if you're okay

265
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:56,959
with it. I've read through it. I

266
00:09:56,959 --> 00:09:58,399
>> I've looked through it as well. So, I

267
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:00,560
would make a motion that we adopt or

268
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:02,720
approve the update to the consolidated

269
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,240
fee schedule has been presented in

270
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,399
resolution 26-24.

271
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:07,360
>> Second.

272
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,760
>> We have a motion by Commissioner Perry

273
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,800
to approve the updated consolidated fee

274
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,839
schedule resolution number 2624 and a

275
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:18,000
second by Commissioner Bingham. If

276
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,760
there's no further discussion, all in

277
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,120
favor say I.

278
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:27,430
>> I. Motion passes. Thank you so much.

279
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,240
» Okay. Uh, Bragg Box seller services

280
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,519
update by Lucas Martin.

281
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:35,040
How you doing, Lucas?

282
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,150
>> Well,

283
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,760
so Lucas Martin, I'm the executive

284
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,279
director with the Bear River Association

285
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:47,600
of Governments. Uh, Bragg receives,

286
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,720
well, Bear River Association of

287
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,360
Governments is a regional um voluntary

288
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,800
form of government. now receive

289
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,240
contributions from each of the three

290
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,720
counties boxer cash and rich each year.

291
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,640
Um those county contributions are an

292
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,959
important piece of matching funds for

293
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:02,480
federal or state dollars that allow us

294
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,800
to deploy social services throughout the

295
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,200
three counties. Um so this report

296
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,760
touches on each of the uh departments

297
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,200
within the bare river association of

298
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,360
governments and highlights just services

299
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,760
rendered in Boxiller County and shows in

300
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,600
proportion to total services in those

301
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,720
same areas um across the region. The

302
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,079
only department it doesn't address is

303
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:23,440
economic development because you'll be

304
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,440
hearing from Sean after me and he'll

305
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,279
address kind of those those pieces

306
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:29,920
there. So the first page looks at the

307
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,880
area agency area agency on aging uh

308
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,040
department there at Bragg. Uh so you can

309
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,800
see 619 households assisted in Boxeller

310
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,399
County. Um total for the region is 18 uh

311
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:44,160
1,883.

312
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,200
So roughly 32% of the clients assisted

313
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,839
were in this area. Um you can see a lot

314
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:51,440
of those activities around the embudsman

315
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,040
activities, significant number of

316
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,040
veterans and Medicaid enrollments that

317
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,000
happened uh in the region as well. The

318
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,320
dollars down below are are actually a

319
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,240
little more heavily weighted towards the

320
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,079
Boxel County area. So even though

321
00:12:04,079 --> 00:12:06,560
there's 32% of the clients assisted,

322
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:09,040
you've got about 36% of the dollars for

323
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,279
the region deployed. There's some pass

324
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:14,320
through dollars that go through to your

325
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,160
um and that's in addition to the

326
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,040
onbudsman program has also brought in a

327
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,120
volunteer um to help manage the

328
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,800
increased number of calls associated

329
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,000
with that. You can see on the next page

330
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
um the senior citizen services and

331
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,360
service dollars. So there's a

332
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,279
significant number of past $3 that come

333
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:33,040
through the area agency and aging

334
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,200
two-year senior programs on the Barry

335
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,680
River Senior Citizen Center and Treemont

336
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,000
and also the services deployed out of

337
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,440
the Brigham City um community center. So

338
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,880
$310,000 that's about 34 um percent 35%

339
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,399
of the dollars deployed throughout the

340
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:52,639
region. Uh a couple of highlights there.

341
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:56,320
Um Box County served 81,656

342
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,040
meals. That's approximately 50% of the

343
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,959
meals served across the entire region.

344
00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:02,720
So really kind of highlighting the

345
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,360
efforts in providing food uh towards our

346
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,279
elderly adults. Um it mentions there

347
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:09,680
that you know in a survey 70% of rural

348
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:11,680
seniors indicated that senior center

349
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,680
meals are the only meal they eat for

350
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:16,399
that day. Um which reinforces other data

351
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:18,240
we have around one in five seniors

352
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,399
reporting skipping meals and kind of a

353
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:22,240
sign of that heightened vulnerability.

354
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,079
We'll actually kind of see this later as

355
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:25,920
well when we talk about the mobility

356
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,240
vouchers program and how in this region

357
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,839
a lot of those are utilized actually to

358
00:13:29,839 --> 00:13:31,839
get to senior centers and access some of

359
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:34,639
these services. So that's kind of our

360
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:36,480
highlight there of the aging services

361
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,279
programs and deployment. Do you want me

362
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:40,800
to go through all of them and then deal

363
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,000
with questions or do you want me to

364
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,880
address questions as we go?

365
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,000
>> I think just go through it.

366
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,240
>> Okay, let's do it. Uh the next

367
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,560
department is section 8. Well, it's the

368
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:51,839
housing department. the housing

369
00:13:51,839 --> 00:13:54,000
authority, also known as section 8. Um

370
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,680
section 8 provides long-term rental

371
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:57,279
assistance to households that are in

372
00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:00,800
need. Um we have 619 total vouchers.

373
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,040
They'll serve more than that uh over the

374
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,079
course of the year because you have some

375
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:05,440
vouchers that turn over and they may

376
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,040
serve, you know, a couple families. So

377
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,040
you can see in Boxeller County there's

378
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,839
241 households that were assisted as

379
00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:13,519
well as one household assisted with HUD

380
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:16,160
VASH vouchers. Those are um vouchers are

381
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,399
specific for homeless veterans. Um so

382
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:21,120
about 35% of the clients that are served

383
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,720
in the region are tied to um Boxeler uh

384
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,279
county. You can also see that there's uh

385
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:29,440
housing units. Currently Bragg only owns

386
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,560
housing in uh Boxeller County and in

387
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,959
Bigham City and in Tmont. Um and so

388
00:14:34,959 --> 00:14:36,959
those units provide important resources.

389
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:38,480
There's especially in in smaller

390
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,000
railroad towns like Tmont. There's not

391
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,240
as many um affordable properties that

392
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,480
can be utilized. You can see the total

393
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,199
deployment. So $1.2 2 million paid out

394
00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:49,839
on behalf of households in the area

395
00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:52,639
about 33% of the region. So again,

396
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:54,720
slightly higher than the roughly 30% of

397
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,959
the region the population represents. Um

398
00:14:56,959 --> 00:14:57,839
I think this [clears throat] is really

399
00:14:57,839 --> 00:15:00,399
important. Uh HUD vouchers are usually

400
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:02,320
used are often utilized by elderly

401
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,560
disabled clients who have fixed incomes

402
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,320
and don't have other alternatives. And

403
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,760
so many of those 241 households could be

404
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,519
facing homelessness or significant

405
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,279
challenges uh without some form of

406
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,120
assistance. So, a really crucial program

407
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,959
in your area, one that makes a big

408
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:19,199
difference. Um, those dollars also, you

409
00:15:19,199 --> 00:15:21,440
know, are revenue to landlords and then

410
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,720
obviously the properties that are

411
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,800
rented. Um, property taxes and things

412
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,920
come back to the county. So, there's circulation of those dollars as

413
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,440
well, um, with how they're deployed.

414
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,360
Um, the next section is our residential

415
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,880
resilience, formerly known as the

416
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,399
weatherization department. They've

417
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:38,560
pulled some other programs in. So, we

418
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,160
have emergency home repair as well as

419
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,360
weatherization. You can see that they um

420
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,199
well that household count is not right.

421
00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:49,519
It says 619. Um

422
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:52,480
yeah, I'll have to look and see what the problem is there. The the

423
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,639
numbers up above are correct on the on

424
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:57,120
the household count. So um but the total

425
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,040
is not. So you can see that the majority

426
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,560
of the clients are being served by the

427
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,000
program are actually being assisted here

428
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,240
in Boxeler County. Um there's a couple

429
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,120
reasons for that. Um you can see 48% of

430
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,720
our emergency home repair clients are

431
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,880
actually here in Midbox Southern County

432
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,759
and 35% of our weatherization slightly

433
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:15,440
lower on weatherization crisis clients

434
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,360
at 34%. Um but overall on the county

435
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,320
it's 32% so almost 33 um so again just

436
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,639
slightly higher than the 30% average in

437
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:26,399
the context of dollars it closely

438
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:28,480
matches um that deployment and so you

439
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,839
can see the majority of those dollars

440
00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:32,639
emergency home repair 46% going to

441
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,120
clients here. Part of that is because we

442
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,880
uh offer slightly higher amounts, the

443
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,519
maximums of 20,000 as opposed to 18 in

444
00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:41,759
cash. And that's because Box County is

445
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:43,519
very large geographically and you've got

446
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:45,920
a lot of rural area. Um and so it can be

447
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,240
more expensive to go and make a repair

448
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,920
further out, especially for bringing in

449
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,920
a contractor for something. So those

450
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,519
grant amounts were, you know,

451
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,440
intentionally raised to reflect some of

452
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,360
those needs and allow us to still serve

453
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,279
clients that are out in in places like

454
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:01,680
Stand Rod and other rural rural areas.

455
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,160
Um, a couple points on that too with the

456
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,839
weatherization piece. Significant

457
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:07,280
savings for those families. It doesn't

458
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,480
cost them anything to have the homes

459
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,319
weatherized. They have to meet meet a

460
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,400
certain age requirement. Um, but whether

461
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,760
they're being rented or owned by the

462
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,839
homeowners, that utilization can save

463
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,400
them uh quite a bit. So about 35% on

464
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,000
average of their energy costs can be

465
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,439
reduced over the course of the year

466
00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:23,839
after the home's been weatherized. So

467
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,000
some real opportunities for for them as

468
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,520
well. Uh, the next section is our human

469
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,080
services department. uh that human

470
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,960
services focuses on uh fighting poverty.

471
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,280
It's community action arm of the agency.

472
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,400
And so you've got a couple different

473
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,720
elements tied within that. The first is

474
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,440
utility assistance. Um so one of the

475
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,280
primary programs that Bragg is is known

476
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,080
for. You have 396 households that

477
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,240
received assistance uh here in Boxeller

478
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,400
County uh for out of a total of 1300. So

479
00:17:54,400 --> 00:18:00,559
about 30% which is very close to your population um for the region. Um,

480
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:02,320
the next one is VITA, so the voluntary

481
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,320
income tax assistance. Those are when

482
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,000
free tax preparation for low-income

483
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,440
households at 231. That's about 24%.

484
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,640
It's a little bit lower. You'll notice

485
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,640
there's an asterisk next to that. And we

486
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,160
point out that there's two VITA sites

487
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,160
here in Boxelder County. Um, one at the

488
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,320
Bear River Senior Center and one at the

489
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,080
community center kind of matching the

490
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,760
deployment actually of the senior

491
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,559
dollars we talked about before. um those

492
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:26,640
fill up very quickly and so often we

493
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,640
have folks from Boxel County that come

494
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,799
to cash as well to have taxes prepared.

495
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:32,799
So these numbers reflect where the where

496
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:35,679
the return was prepared at rather than

497
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:37,919
where they actually live. So we just

498
00:18:37,919 --> 00:18:39,520
have indicated that it's likely that

499
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,039
number is actually higher, but that's

500
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:43,039
not how the IRS tracks the returns on

501
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:45,760
that end. Um you can see there's

502
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,160
significant savings there under the the

503
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,080
payments about $195,000 that was paid in

504
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,160
um on behalf of of residents of the

505
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,080
county. Um those dollars [clears throat]

506
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,919
in many cases you have you know Brigham

507
00:18:57,919 --> 00:18:59,440
City themselves that are utility

508
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,679
provider and so in some cases it it

509
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:04,080
supports those municipalities. Um and

510
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,760
again [clears throat] he prioritizes

511
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,840
elderly disabled and households that

512
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,520
have children under the age of six. So

513
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,880
that focus on vulnerable households. Um

514
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,720
it's also unique in that it utilizes a

515
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,160
lot of volunteers and so it's an

516
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,200
opportunity to engage um both volunteers

517
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,720
uh in the sense of the site that's being

518
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,039
used as well as the tax preparers and so

519
00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:26,160
Bragg works very actively to um train

520
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,360
those volunteers and help them meet

521
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:28,720
those certifications and that's one

522
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,000
space where obviously there's some

523
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,679
opportunity for growth here in Boxiller

524
00:19:31,679 --> 00:19:34,640
County. The next one is the start

525
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,320
department. Uh that is the short-term

526
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,640
assistance for rent. uh start is focused

527
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,960
on assisting clients that are homeless

528
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,880
or at risk of becoming homeless. That's

529
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,600
the the target group for those programs.

530
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,000
Um you can see the process 210

531
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:55,520
applications um that's about 30% of the applicants in in Box County um had

532
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,640
52 households that were assisted with um

533
00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,200
the [clears throat]

534
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,000
emergency shelter hotel stays or excuse

535
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,280
me 92. my glasses are adjusted for a

536
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,200
longer range than the short range and

537
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,559
then 48 for our emergency response um

538
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:13,919
hotel stays out of a total of 157. So

539
00:20:13,919 --> 00:20:15,600
you'll notice that the year round

540
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,080
shelter stays are 100% Boxelder clients.

541
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,480
That's by design. And so we pursued

542
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,320
funding specifically to meet those needs

543
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,840
over the course of the year for Boxeler

544
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,520
County and then a portion of those

545
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,039
dollars in the winter response came to

546
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:30,320
Boxelder and a portion go to to cash. So

547
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,559
619 total clients assisted during the

548
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:37,760
year um out of the 1,800 total start

549
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,919
clients. So about 32% again assisted

550
00:20:41,919 --> 00:20:44,400
there. Um down below you can see the the

551
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,080
dollar deployment. Uh you can see the

552
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,440
$42,000 in rent and deposit assistance

553
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,159
um coming into Boxeler County and higher

554
00:20:52,159 --> 00:20:55,679
amounts about 46 almost $47,000 tied to

555
00:20:55,679 --> 00:20:57,280
emergency hotel stays for a total of

556
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,880
$89,000.

557
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,039
Couple other notes there. New Hope

558
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:03,520
Crisis works closely with Bragg um as

559
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,120
part of our coordinated entry process.

560
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:06,720
Um they currently don't have staff that

561
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,240
are certified to perform spat

562
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,559
assessments, the service prioritization,

563
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,799
data assessment, uh tool assessments and

564
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:14,880
so Bragg staff does that that work for

565
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,640
them and we help with those coordinated

566
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,640
entry meetings.

567
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,320
Uh the next section is looking at our

568
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,760
community development clients that are

569
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,360
forward- facing. So this is primarily

570
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,000
our mobility vouchers. Um, for the

571
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,919
mobility vouchers, we have 41 households

572
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:30,159
that were assisted in in Boxeller County

573
00:21:30,159 --> 00:21:32,400
out of a total of 52. So, the vast

574
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,480
majority of those are in fact located in

575
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,914
Boxeller County. Um, 1300

576
00:21:36,914 --> 00:21:37,919
[clears throat]

577
00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:39,840
one-way trips, again, the majority of

578
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,679
them here in Boxiller County. You can

579
00:21:41,679 --> 00:21:43,679
see the dollars deployed there primarily

580
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:45,760
went to Boxiller. This program is

581
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,039
specifically trying to help people who

582
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:48,320
don't have access to public

583
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,320
transportation and can't get themselves

584
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,919
to things like medical appointments or

585
00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:55,120
food. um cash has more access to

586
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,919
transportation through uh CVTD. So, it's

587
00:21:57,919 --> 00:22:00,000
pretty natural to see higher amounts of

588
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,600
those dollars coming into Boxelder

589
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,760
County. Um and that's pretty clearly

590
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,480
reflected in the services as deployed.

591
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,240
Um some things that they highlighted

592
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,559
last year from boxell recipients using

593
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:12,080
trips for things like diialysis to

594
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,200
improve the quality of life while

595
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200
extending it and significant number of

596
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,200
them assisting seniors to access those

597
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,720
senior centers especially on the north

598
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,720
end of the county uh coming in to be

599
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,480
able to to reach the bear river senior

600
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,559
center for those meals and activities.

601
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:26,960
Um and then we just noting that we have

602
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,799
significantly more demand of ox county

603
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,240
for this particular program than we have

604
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,280
funding for. So another opportunity for us as far as growth goes.

605
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,200
Um the last page looks at a few things.

606
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,480
So we're kind of looking at regional

607
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,000
demographics um based on 2025 estimates

608
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,159
and um poverty numbers and then looking

609
00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:45,760
at each of those departments as a whole.

610
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,600
So you can see the the total uh

611
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,520
deployment of dollars across the board.

612
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,520
Um so you can see that box of the county

613
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,880
is about 30 30.5% roughly of the

614
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,000
population that matches the uh brag

615
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,440
contribution exactly of $28,000 500

616
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,400
that's provided by um the council or the

617
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,480
commission. Uh Cash counties comes in

618
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,440
about 68% and Rich County is 1.26. They

619
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,919
actually give about 2% so slightly

620
00:23:11,919 --> 00:23:13,120
higher than their population would

621
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,600
reflect. Within those, we've listed the

622
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,840
poverty totals on the side as well as

623
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,200
the total number of households in

624
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,960
poverty. So, you can see the boxer has

625
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,799
about 4,400

626
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:25,200
um individuals in poverty and 14,000 in

627
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,000
cash and 228 in rich. That's one of the

628
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,159
strengths honestly in Boxeler County. Um

629
00:23:30,159 --> 00:23:31,440
you've done well with your economic

630
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,120
growth. We're providing highpaying jobs

631
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:35,200
with benefits um through a lot of the

632
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,400
different factories and different

633
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,559
opportunities here and it's reflected in

634
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:40,640
those numbers. You can see the largest

635
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,200
population centers some of the um

636
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,080
poverty data there. 11.2% in Brigham

637
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,720
City. So you can see about 2,300 out of

638
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,640
the 4400

639
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,880
uh live in Brigham that are in poverty.

640
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,559
So you're tend to be more dispersed.

641
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:58,480
Whereas in Logan 12,000 out of the 14 uh

642
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,039
live in in Logan. So much more

643
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:03,520
concentrated poverty as opposed to in

644
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,280
Box other county where again it's spread

645
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,360
out among some of your other uh smaller

646
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:08,880
municipalities.

647
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,320
And then the total distribution of

648
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,279
dollars across all three counties. Um

649
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:16,159
the $2.3 million uh dollars that was

650
00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:20,240
deployed out of six and a half at 36.41%

651
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,080
and kind of a a distribution when

652
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,159
comparing the county contribution to the

653
00:24:24,159 --> 00:24:26,960
ratio of services. You're at $1 invested

654
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,080
by the county for $83 in deployed

655
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,159
services on behalf of residents of Oxel

656
00:24:32,159 --> 00:24:34,559
County. So, um, I noticed a couple of,

657
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:36,320
like I said, errors on some of the the

658
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,679
household numbers that I'll get an

659
00:24:37,679 --> 00:24:39,679
updated, uh, copy for you on that just

660
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:41,919
as I went through this again. But I

661
00:24:41,919 --> 00:24:43,840
wanted to kind of turn the time over to

662
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,679
you for questions about kind of how

663
00:24:45,679 --> 00:24:52,549
those services are deployed and and what that looks like for our region.

664
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:54,960
» Any questions, commissioners?

665
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,840
>> Yeah, I I have a question. And um we're

666
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,279
talking about the services that are

667
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:00,880
provided for people that are down on

668
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,400
their luck, I guess, is the best way to

669
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,799
say it. Is there any kind of program

670
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:07,840
that uh provides education or job

671
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,679
support or something like that that

672
00:25:09,679 --> 00:25:11,120
would help them to improve their

673
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:12,000
situation?

674
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,600
>> I love that you asked that. There's

675
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,760
actually one that uh I didn't touch on

676
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,600
that I could have. So, benefits

677
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,320
navigator. Um it's part of the human

678
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,080
services department. It's actually

679
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,000
working with families with children and

680
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,679
it's trying to help them prepare to take

681
00:25:25,679 --> 00:25:27,840
that next step actually to move beyond

682
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,520
being on government benefits and being

683
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,279
able to to to move forward without

684
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:33,200
those. So has financial education

685
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,360
components. It helps them identify, you

686
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:43,919
know, ways to to access education and jobs to move forward. Um so that's kind of the the primary piece is trying to help them connect with

687
00:25:43,919 --> 00:25:45,760
those resources. It doesn't actually

688
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,360
directly deploy a resource to them.

689
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:48,960
That's a requirement from the state. can

690
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,039
only provide the education and support

691
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:53,679
to those clients. So there's uh

692
00:25:53,679 --> 00:25:56,720
currently 10 in box elder out of 31

693
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,559
households that are being assisted uh in

694
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:01,279
our region. So about 32% of those that

695
00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:03,919
are there. So programs like that tend to

696
00:26:03,919 --> 00:26:05,200
require a little bit more case

697
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,559
management support, a little bit more

698
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:08,480
time inensive and so they generally work

699
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,080
with smaller groups of people. But

700
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,120
that's what we're currently doing.

701
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,440
>> So is that education provided by Bragg

702
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,200
or is it routed through some other

703
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:15,919
entity?

704
00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:17,120
>> Yeah, that's a great question. So,

705
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:18,480
there's a couple ways they can do that.

706
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,240
Um, we have and we we [snorts] actually

707
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,240
have our human services director here

708
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,400
with us today, Diana Newold, and so she

709
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,760
can speak to that more specifically if

710
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,679
she'd like, but the the case case

711
00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:31,013
managers um do actually um

712
00:26:31,013 --> 00:26:32,240
[clears throat] have training or been

713
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,000
receiving training in in a few different

714
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,919
areas. So, several of them are community

715
00:26:35,919 --> 00:26:37,679
justice advocates. So, understanding

716
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:40,000
specific needs around uh budgeting and

717
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,320
debt uh tied to the the clients

718
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,720
themselves. um received some resources

719
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,559
from the state through TANF and training

720
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:49,200
and then at my trade is actually in in

721
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,520
financial education originally and so

722
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,799
we've worked with them as well and

723
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:54,080
trying to develop what that looks like

724
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,240
and how that can best assist assist our

725
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,120
clients there. So heavily focused on

726
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:02,000
trying to access education services and

727
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,960
um and financial pieces. the education

728
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,159
part. I mean, that's so important that

729
00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:08,159
we, you know, rather than just we're

730
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:10,159
just giving money, right? We have people

731
00:27:10,159 --> 00:27:11,623
are having a hard time that we

732
00:27:11,623 --> 00:27:12,799
[clears throat] have them come in and we

733
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:15,679
educate them and help them to because

734
00:27:15,679 --> 00:27:17,360
most people don't want to just have a

735
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,520
handout. They they they're in a tight

736
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,440
spot. They've had a hard time and and so

737
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,279
as we help educate them, help them find

738
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,360
ways that [clears throat] they can

739
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:27,200
better theirelves and and better their

740
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,679
situation and and so really the

741
00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:32,080
education part of it is huge. it is

742
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,880
helping them to the point where they can

743
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,039
um get some help to get to get going,

744
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:38,640
but also helping them get good

745
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,400
employment and making sure they

746
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,159
understand budgets and making sure they

747
00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:44,559
understand expenditures and and how we

748
00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:47,200
do those things. And and really that's

749
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,640
what makes uh citizens strongers is they

750
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,039
learn that and and and all of us that

751
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:54,880
you know as we work and we accomplish

752
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,480
stuff, we feel better about ourselves.

753
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,799
And so, not only does it help us to be

754
00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:00,880
self-reliant, but it also helps us as

755
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,799
far as, you know, having feeling

756
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:04,480
self-worth and feeling like that we're

757
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,799
accomplishing things and that even

758
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:08,720
though we've had a hard time and we've

759
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,840
had to receive help um by that training

760
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,520
and and being able to have some

761
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,600
education and help us to to figure out

762
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,679
how to budget and and get our feet on

763
00:28:17,679 --> 00:28:20,720
the ground again is is huge.

764
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,080
>> Yeah, absolutely. And I I think that's

765
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,919
another place to like I said, give kudos

766
00:28:23,919 --> 00:28:25,600
to Boxiller County. You can see from

767
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,840
those poverty numbers that you've been

768
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,440
much more successful, right, in trying

769
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,440
to to to build that opportunity for

770
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,720
folks to um to to grow their um their

771
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,559
income and meet their their needs. So,

772
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:38,240
position themselves well, and that's to

773
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,440
be commended.

774
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,120
>> Yeah. Thanks for your help. We

775
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,120
appreciate it.

776
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:43,919
>> Commissioner Perry, do you have

777
00:28:43,919 --> 00:28:44,480
anything?

778
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:45,279
>> Thank you.

779
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:47,600
>> Appreciate it. Thank you.

780
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:53,750
>> Thanks, Lucas.

781
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,600
» Sean

782
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:02,630
You're up.

783
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,320
» Good evening, commissioners.

784
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,240
>> Thanks for the opportunity to revisit

785
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,919
you. May I connect your mic?

786
00:29:11,919 --> 00:29:14,559
>> Sure.

787
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,120
>> Do you have any viruses?

788
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,200
>> Uh, none that I know of.

789
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,630
>> Good.

790
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,480
» And I'm sure that Keith would say it's

791
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,240
probably still too soon to talk about

792
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,080
anything else.

793
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:36,070
>> Yep.

794
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,919
» Well, good evening. For the record, I am

795
00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:40,000
Sean Mill,

796
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,159
Fair River Association of Governments,

797
00:29:42,159 --> 00:29:44,640
and I am your economic development

798
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,240
director

799
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,840
by contract. And that is why I'm here

800
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,029
this evening. [clears throat]

801
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:54,720
Tell that person to call me back at a

802
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,360
less inconvenient time. All right.

803
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,660
>> Don't hand it to me. I'll take care of

804
00:29:58,660 --> 00:30:00,640
[laughter]

805
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,760
>> I want them to call me back, sir. Uh,

806
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,320
all right.

807
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,039
So, you may recall that I was here uh at

808
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:11,760
your last meeting to give you a fiscal

809
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,200
year 26 update as well as a review of

810
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,520
the CEO board's fiscal year 27

811
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,039
recommendations.

812
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:20,799
Uh again for the benefit of the audio

813
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:22,559
record as well as anybody else here this

814
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:25,200
evening the CEO board is the county

815
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,279
economic opportunity advisory board and

816
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:29,440
as the namesake uh implies they are

817
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,279
advisory to you. You are the ultimate

818
00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:33,200
authority on how to spend certain monies

819
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,600
that come from the state of Utah through

820
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,080
the state legislature via GOED

821
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,200
governor's office of economic

822
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,720
development.

823
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,679
Boxelder County is a county that is

824
00:30:43,679 --> 00:30:46,000
classified as rural.

825
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,600
Um,

826
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,360
uh, as a county of the third class and

827
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,440
your population numbers, you are

828
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,919
considered rural. And so this county,

829
00:30:53,919 --> 00:30:56,240
uh, can apply for these the rural county

830
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,320
grant or RCG that was set up a number of

831
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,480
years ago. and for the last three years

832
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,120
had has utilized Bragg uh me

833
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,720
specifically and some other team members

834
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,240
a fraction of their time throughout the

835
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,399
year uh to perform certain economic

836
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:10,880
development services. As part of that,

837
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,399
you have utilized some of that rural

838
00:31:12,399 --> 00:31:14,320
county grant or RCG money, a total of

839
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,679
$200,000 per year or up to

840
00:31:17,679 --> 00:31:19,919
uh to pay for those services through

841
00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:23,840
Bragg, which um my boss um Lucas Martin

842
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,919
moments ago had said I'd come up

843
00:31:25,919 --> 00:31:27,200
separately because it is a separate

844
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,520
monetary contract than than the body of

845
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,480
work that he just presented on.

846
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,720
Over the last year,

847
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,399
what you had approved last year were a

848
00:31:36,399 --> 00:31:37,760
total of four different pots of money

849
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,480
for dispersement. Uh, by the way, um,

850
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,159
the slide deck, I don't know if it's

851
00:31:42,159 --> 00:31:46,000
been provided to you. Uh, oh, it's not

852
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,320
showing up there. Well, then that's

853
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:57,110
super inconvenient. One moment, please.

854
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,880
Was it up there at all at any time?

855
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,360
>> Oh, there you go. When you click

856
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,320
slideshow, it disappears.

857
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,720
>> Well, isn't that awkward? Okay. All

858
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,679
right.

859
00:32:09,679 --> 00:32:13,519
Well, so with that, the pots of money

860
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:17,120
last year are exactly what the CEO board

861
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,840
has recommended for Frisco 27. So notice

862
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,360
that the boxes don't really change, but

863
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,880
you can see some other text change

864
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,760
because the recommendation is to uh do

865
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,760
the exact same, which is small business

866
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,240
grants, infrastructure grants, which are

867
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,320
also intended to go to small uh

868
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,600
businesses, as well as uh the chamber of

869
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,080
commerce for a particular data set that

870
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,480
shows up natively on their website.

871
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,399
There's some back-end geeky stuff that I

872
00:32:42,399 --> 00:32:44,559
love from a previous uh career path in

873
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:47,039
life. It just pops up organically from a

874
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:50,080
bunch of different sources and um

875
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,320
provides companies that might be looking

876
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,120
to locate here whether in cities or the

877
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,880
unincorporated county as to certain

878
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,360
demographical and financial information.

879
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,279
The middle two unless you have questions

880
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:03,440
on the first the contract with Bragg or

881
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,279
the website dashboard at this particular

882
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:08,399
moment. Okay, hearing none. Then the

883
00:33:08,399 --> 00:33:11,600
middle two are um what the CEO board

884
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,320
recommends to support smaller

885
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,919
businesses, homegrown if you will,

886
00:33:15,919 --> 00:33:18,320
cottage industry businesses.

887
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,120
There are tools that already enable

888
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,559
large businesses, large scale

889
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:24,880
enterprises to grow in our midst. Um

890
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,880
many of us might know those by PIDs,

891
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,480
CRAAS, RDAs. And so they have a whole

892
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,360
suite of tools at their disposal that of

893
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,600
course you know from our interactions

894
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,559
that they'll engage. And so the CEO

895
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:40,720
board is recommending for your approval

896
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,679
again this coming year to recreate these

897
00:33:43,679 --> 00:33:45,600
small business grants. You'll notice

898
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,360
that it says onetoone matching grants

899
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,679
for both of them. Uh it's because they

900
00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:51,440
want the companies to have some skin in

901
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,799
the game. They don't want to increase

902
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:54,399
your risk. They want them to realize

903
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:56,799
that their money can also be put into

904
00:33:56,799 --> 00:34:00,000
this pot. Um and it could be used in a

905
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,440
number of different ways. Whether it be

906
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,960
parking improvements, whether it be

907
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,760
facade improvements, lighting, ADA

908
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,359
capacity, uh excuse me, ADA compliance,

909
00:34:09,359 --> 00:34:11,760
utility capacity. Some main street

910
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,679
businesses

911
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:15,679
are owner, the owners are different than

912
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:17,760
the landlord. And sometimes there's a

913
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,280
bit of a cat and mouse as to who's going

914
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,119
to do certain improvements to make those

915
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:24,159
older properties a bit more compliant

916
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:26,079
either with

917
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:29,119
standard consumer patterns or increased

918
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:32,240
electricity capacity. So the 1:1

919
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:34,079
matching grant on the one hand on the on

920
00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:36,399
the left side is a little bit more

921
00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:39,919
discretionary. The second pocket, the

922
00:34:39,919 --> 00:34:41,599
50,000 that you see on the right hand

923
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:43,760
side is intended specifically towards

924
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,879
utility upgrades. some uh that we would

925
00:34:46,879 --> 00:34:48,480
think of in smaller communities

926
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,000
throughout the county,

927
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,679
some of the reasons why those

928
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:55,359
storefronts or those old business

929
00:34:55,359 --> 00:34:57,839
locations sit vacant is because they're

930
00:34:57,839 --> 00:35:00,560
just prohibitively expensive and it

931
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,320
becomes kind of a catch 22. Do you

932
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,560
preserve it to look like it's historical

933
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,160
yester year? Um or do you raise the

934
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,160
building down to the ground and then put

935
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,880
something new on top? And often times

936
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,960
businesses and landlords might just say,

937
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,240
"Gosh, you know, it's it's kind of

938
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:17,920
expensive for a fledgling business

939
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,200
that's going to go in there because

940
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,359
often times the big books retailers that

941
00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:23,920
are national brands we all know and shop

942
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,160
at, they're looking for bare ground, not

943
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,280
to come in and rehab uh rehabitate uh

944
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,520
rehabilitate

945
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,200
>> rehabilitate. Thank you very much.

946
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,119
Rehabilitate old expensive buildings

947
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:36,560
because it just makes it that much more

948
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,480
expensive."

949
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,280
So that's one agenda item. the two kind

950
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,800
of go hand in hand. Um

951
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,359
the other item, let me change my view

952
00:35:47,359 --> 00:35:51,750
here real quick,

953
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,560
is the need for a contract that is in

954
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,040
writing. That is the first time that the

955
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,960
state has required such. I've sent this

956
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,960
over to Glenn in the uh attorney's

957
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
office for review

958
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,680
and I would defer to a head nod from him

959
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,040
if it's good to go or if he has any

960
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,040
questions or concerns.

961
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,280
>> Excellent. But it basically seeks to

962
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,200
codify what has been the traditional

963
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,040
approach of this county as well as the

964
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,640
two other counties that Bragg serves for

965
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,359
economic development services. Uh the

966
00:36:19,359 --> 00:36:21,200
different body of work and to enumerate

967
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,800
it and to proportionalize where that

968
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,079
dollar amount that is your grant is

969
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:30,880
conceived to go in our best estimates

970
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,640
because we've not tracked it previously

971
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,680
before by this breakdown in this column.

972
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,839
And at year's end, we will give a report

973
00:36:37,839 --> 00:36:39,760
as to where the proportionality then

974
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,160
actually falls.

975
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,079
And so

976
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:46,800
it just seeks to memorialize in writing

977
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,640
what has been agreed to by the pre by

978
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,560
the counties previously. And that is a

979
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,520
new um administrative rules requirement

980
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,240
as is as previously noted that no

981
00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:58,560
elected official from this body to serve

982
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,359
on the CEO board which again previously

983
00:37:01,359 --> 00:37:03,440
had addressed. It also makes another

984
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,200
minor change in administrative rules and

985
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,800
it takes your CEO board appointments

986
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,560
from two-year appointments to four-year

987
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,800
appointments, which I'll discuss at a at

988
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,520
another agenda item at a later date. Not

989
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,000
prepared to do that tonight. So, you

990
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,400
have before you two requested votes.

991
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,440
One, approval of the contract as

992
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,680
presented and reviewed by the attorney's

993
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,079
office and the ability to apply on the

994
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:30,560
county's behalf for the rural county

995
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,480
grant. according to

996
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,119
the recommendations that one moment I'll

997
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:42,069
go back to

998
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:46,230
that I showed a moment ago.

999
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:47,760
So at this time I'll pause for any

1000
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,200
questions.

1001
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,880
>> Yeah. The question I've got is okay. So

1002
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,280
you've got up there matching grants etc.

1003
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,040
So what happens if nobody applies for

1004
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,280
then what happens to that funding

1005
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,720
>> if nobody applies for them?

1006
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:02,560
>> Yes. I would be shocked but the the CEO

1007
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,560
board would come back to you through me

1008
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,040
in this kind of forum and ask to

1009
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,839
redeploy the monies in another manner. I

1010
00:38:09,839 --> 00:38:13,440
will tell you that by example here I'm

1011
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,040
going to go to another tab and Lucas can

1012
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,040
herang me later for all the tabs that I

1013
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,599
have open. This is an actual list of

1014
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:26,160
applicants from a similar small business

1015
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,560
grant that the box elder CEO board is

1016
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,599
recommending to you and you approved for

1017
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:33,280
this year which will be released here

1018
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,359
shortly that they've been doing for a

1019
00:38:35,359 --> 00:38:38,640
number of years. They do put more money.

1020
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,720
They put 90,000 in this pot for this

1021
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:42,079
last year. This is the number of

1022
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:44,400
applicants that they had and not all of

1023
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,440
those were awarded. I would be surprised

1024
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,480
with a more robust economy such as box

1025
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,200
eldelders versus riches, meaning overall

1026
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,880
population, the amount of registered

1027
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,040
businesses that you have in the county,

1028
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,119
I I would be surprised if you didn't

1029
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:01,280
have four times more of the requests

1030
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,760
than this recommendation seeks to put

1031
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,800
money in.

1032
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,520
>> Okay.

1033
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,760
>> And working with U Monica in the

1034
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,000
chamber, she too is a member of the CEO

1035
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,480
board. uh she has long been advocating

1036
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,119
for this kind of approach uh because she

1037
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:16,960
feels that in conversations with some of

1038
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,200
her smaller chamber members that there

1039
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,000
is definitely that demand there. But to

1040
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,240
your question, sir, if there weren't

1041
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:25,760
then we would come back with another set

1042
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,680
of recommendations from the CEO board to

1043
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,079
you and ask to reallocate it. I would

1044
00:39:30,079 --> 00:39:33,200
then also ask go or go as they've now

1045
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,760
rebranded themselves. I would ask them

1046
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,359
to acknowledge your desire to shift that

1047
00:39:39,359 --> 00:39:42,160
funding which in the past that they've

1048
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,839
been more than willing to do.

1049
00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:48,480
>> So,

1050
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,079
>> okay. Entertain a motion to approve uh

1051
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:54,880
the development contract.

1052
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,000
>> I'll make a motion to we approve

1053
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,400
economic development contract 2643 as

1054
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,520
explained.

1055
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,760
>> Second. We have an approval for the

1056
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,079
economic development contract uh number

1057
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:05,680
26-43

1058
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,599
by Commissioner Perry, a second by

1059
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:09,599
Commissioner Bingham. There is no

1060
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:11,839
further discussion. All in favor say I.

1061
00:40:11,839 --> 00:40:12,480
>> I.

1062
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,960
>> Motion passes.

1063
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,000
>> Want a second motion?

1064
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:16,640
>> Yes, sir.

1065
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,440
>> I'd make a motion that we approve

1066
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,320
um Bragg to file for the rural county

1067
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,520
grant authorization.

1068
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,400
>> Second. We have a motion by Commissioner

1069
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,480
Perry to

1070
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,200
uh allow Bragg to apply for the rural

1071
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,079
county grant and a second by

1072
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:38,480
Commissioner Bingham. All in favor say

1073
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:39,200
I.

1074
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:46,550
>> I.

1075
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:47,760
» Thank you gentlemen. Appreciate it.

1076
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:48,240
>> Thank you.

1077
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:51,829
>> Thanks Sean.

1078
00:40:51,839 --> 00:40:54,950
» Okay.

1079
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,640
We need to visit a little bit about the

1080
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,040
Utah Education Initiative fall

1081
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,560
extravaganza

1082
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,920
and it's going to be a request for a fee

1083
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,599
redu reduction and facility access for

1084
00:41:07,599 --> 00:41:08,880
the fine arts building at the

1085
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,079
fairgrounds for the end of September.

1086
00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:15,680
And Marvin Hawkins

1087
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,440
actually Nilson.

1088
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,960
>> Okay, we'll have Robert Nelson come and

1089
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,720
visit with us. Good to see you, Robert.

1090
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:24,710
>> Thank you for your time.

1091
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:27,599
Can you hear me fine? So, the Utah

1092
00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:30,880
Education Initiative is is actually uh

1093
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,640
we'll explain that a little later, but

1094
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,240
that's who I'm actually representing

1095
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:37,200
tonight. And [snorts] uh we are propos

1096
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,000
we have scheduled an education

1097
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,400
extravaganza scheduled for September

1098
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,760
23rd, 2026, 5 to 8:00 p.m. at the

1099
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,240
Fairgrounds Fine Arts Building. We have

1100
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:51,280
paid a million dollar.

1101
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,599
The $3 million liability insurance has

1102
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:56,240
already been purchased. That's done.

1103
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:58,800
Over over 20 trade schools and

1104
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,119
universities will be participating for

1105
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:04,400
prospective students. 18 months ago, we

1106
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,040
held one of these events and we had over

1107
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,760
550 students participate at a different

1108
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,000
venue.

1109
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,640
invitations to the invitations will go

1110
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,599
to Boxelder County residents and anyone

1111
00:42:17,599 --> 00:42:19,920
else interested. This year is expected

1112
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,079
to be much larger. That's why we're

1113
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:24,880
looking at a larger facility with larger

1114
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,400
parking.

1115
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,720
We are requesting a fee waiver for the

1116
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,040
state sanctioned high impact educational

1117
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,440
activity.

1118
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,599
This is a directive from Governor Cox

1119
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:39,359
and the Utah system of higher education.

1120
00:42:39,359 --> 00:42:42,319
The Utah Education Assoc in Initiative

1121
00:42:42,319 --> 00:42:45,440
is a network across the entire state of

1122
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,480
volunteer mentors who assist potential

1123
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,480
language skills and higher education

1124
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,280
students. Target groups identified for

1125
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,440
specific assistance. non-traditional

1126
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,880

1127
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,960

1130
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,400
employment opportunities,

1131
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,480
immigrant population to assist in

1132
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,240
English skills and productive

1133
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:15,599
assimilation, high school students, and

1134
00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:17,520
we will be supporting the traditional

1135
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,640
high school counselor activities.

1136
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,800
coordinated efforts between the UEI and

1137
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,960
the interfaith organization group to

1138
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,920
ensure widespread advertising in businesses advertising

1139
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,160
all religious organizations to ensure

1140
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,160
maximum exposure to those needing ueI

1141
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,280
assistance. I appreciate your time. Any

1142
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,560
questions,

1143
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:41,599
>> commissioners?

1144
00:43:41,599 --> 00:43:44,560
>> Yeah. Um, okay. I I just was checking

1145
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,400
talked with our fair director and

1146
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,400
according to what I got back, you said

1147
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,839
you're holding the event on the 23rd and

1148
00:43:49,839 --> 00:43:52,000
it shows from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. What I

1149
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,440
was initially told is that you were

1150
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,680
hoping to get the fine arts building the

1151
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,480
day before for 4 hours to set up and

1152
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,480
then wanted the the facility for the

1153
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,440
full day of the 23rd. Is that correct?

1154
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:03,920
Do you know?

1155
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,800
>> I I believe that is what uh Marvin

1156
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,359
scheduled and failed to give me those,

1157
00:44:09,359 --> 00:44:11,200
but I I think that's what they have done

1158
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,839
to to be able to get it. uh organized

1159
00:44:13,839 --> 00:44:15,200
and set up for that evening.

1160
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,240
>> I was just trying to figure out where

1161
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:17,440
you got that evening, why they couldn't

1162
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,280
come in the day of rather than tie the

1163
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,119
building up a whole night before or the

1164
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:23,200
day before. Why we couldn't if you were

1165
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,040
to just just do the 23rd and have them

1166
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,319
set up during the day because if you're

1167
00:44:26,319 --> 00:44:28,400
only going to be operating from 5 to 8,

1168
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,839
why they couldn't come during the day to

1169
00:44:29,839 --> 00:44:30,480
set up this

1170
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:31,920
>> I believe that's something that probably

1171
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,640
could be arranged.

1172
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,359
>> Okay.

1173
00:44:35,359 --> 00:44:36,960
>> Sorry, I don't have better information.

1174
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,400
>> So, we're not tying the building up for

1175
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:39,680
an extra day is what I'm trying to

1176
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,359
figure out costwise. I I think we could

1177
00:44:43,359 --> 00:44:44,560
make that happen.

1178
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,240
>> So the folks that are involved in doing

1179
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:47,839
this, they're all volunteers.

1180
00:44:47,839 --> 00:44:49,440
>> Yes.

1181
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,520
>> So there's no funds moving through this

1182
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,560
operation.

1183
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,640
>> Correct.

1184
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,760
>> And this is for Boxhelder County and

1185
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,200
anybody else who wants to come to

1186
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,200
>> anybody else who wants to come. We are

1187
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,920
this group is basically organizing it uh

1188
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,146
from a small area and inviting all of

1189
00:45:07,146 --> 00:45:08,960
[clears throat] the other areas to be a

1190
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,119
part of it. So you're inviting

1191
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:13,280
universities, trade schools. What are

1192
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:13,920
you inviting?

1193
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,319
>> Yes, the universities, the trade

1194
00:45:16,319 --> 00:45:20,640
schools, um reg, you know, all uh

1195
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,319
>> according to the flyer, you have 18 of

1196
00:45:22,319 --> 00:45:23,280
them and they've all committed to be

1197
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,480
there. Is that what I'm understanding?

1198
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,160
So those 18 that are listed will be

1199
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:26,560
committed.

1200
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,079
>> They've all committed to be there.

1201
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:28,960
>> Committed. That's

1202
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,680
>> they have committed. Like I said, 18

1203
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,000
months ago, they we we had one of these

1204
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,720
and had that many people and we had over

1205
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:38,000
550 people.

1206
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,000
>> What was the one 18 months ago?

1207
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,800
>> It was held at uh a Church of Jesus

1208
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,400
Christ Latterday Saints building.

1209
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:45,680
>> Okay. So, we didn't we didn't provide

1210
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,960
the facility. This is the first time

1211
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,240
you've ever asked for us.

1212
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:49,760
>> This is the first time we have the

1213
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,240
parking was limited. uh and and there

1214
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:53,839
were other things involved that we felt

1215
00:45:53,839 --> 00:45:56,319
like we wanted to to move out because it

1216
00:45:56,319 --> 00:46:00,240
is a it is a state sanctioned uh

1217
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:04,550
activity that we are doing.

1218
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,390
» Okay.

1219
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,160
So I would uh make a motion that we

1220
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,000
approve the Utah Education Initiative

1221
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,839
fall extravaganza

1222
00:46:15,839 --> 00:46:18,079
fee reduction and facility access for

1223
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:19,200
the fine arts building at the

1224
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,960
fairgrounds.

1225
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,440
on September 23rd with the caveat

1226
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,680
that you try to limit it to the 23rd.

1227
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,200
Prepare in the morning and have your

1228
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,400
activity in the evening.

1229
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,720
>> How much of a reduction are we talking?

1230
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:34,960
>> Because it's it's cost it's $700 is what

1231
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,319
I was told from Jan.

1232
00:46:36,319 --> 00:46:36,880
>> Yeah.

1233
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,800
>> If we just do the full thing or are we

1234
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,920
talking half or what are we talking?

1235
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,319
>> I was I heard the amount five. So I

1236
00:46:44,319 --> 00:46:46,480
don't know. I

1237
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,160
we're asking a waiver.

1238
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,079
>> That was two days was 700. So if they

1239
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:52,880
went to one day, would it be 500, Jan?

1240
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,119
Okay.

1241
00:46:55,119 --> 00:46:56,960
So you want to do the full 500 or you

1242
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,119
going to

1243
00:46:59,119 --> 00:47:04,319
your motion? So um the question is

1244
00:47:04,319 --> 00:47:05,920
uh Jan and the question then you're

1245
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,319
going to have to have people there to

1246
00:47:08,319 --> 00:47:09,760
set up. What are you going to have to

1247
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,400
have require from county employees?

1248
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,079
>> We'll just have the building ready. They

1249
00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:16,079
have to set up themselves. They'll have

1250
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:18,720
to set up the tables and take them down.

1251
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:20,720
So, are you requiring them to sweep and

1252
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:22,160
clean up after themselves? What are you

1253
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:22,560
requiring?

1254
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,720
>> Correct. Yes,

1255
00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:25,440
>> that'd be good.

1256
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,760
>> So, then I I would say let's wave the

1257
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:28,720
whole fee.

1258
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:30,880
>> Okay, I'll second that motion.

1259
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,440
>> Okay, we have a motion by Commissioner

1260
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,280
uh Bingham to wave the fee uh for the

1261
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,839
Utah Education Initiative fall

1262
00:47:39,839 --> 00:47:41,760
extravaganza

1263
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:47,200
uh as requested on September 23rd, 2026.

1264
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,440
uh and that they will use the building

1265
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,680
that day only

1266
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,319
and second by Commissioner Perry. All in

1267
00:47:54,319 --> 00:47:55,440
favor say I.

1268
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,440
>> I.

1269
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,000
>> Thank you. I will pass on the word that

1270
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,359
the 23rd is it.

1271
00:48:01,359 --> 00:48:02,000
>> Okay. Thank you.

1272
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:02,960
>> Thank you for doing this.

1273
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:13,190
>> Okay. Thank you.

1274
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:23,910
» Resolution for the

1275
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,720
Okay. Um,

1276
00:48:26,720 --> 00:48:30,720
number E, uh, agreement number 26-44

1277
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:33,359
to terminate contract for mental health

1278
00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:35,119
services between Boxelder County and

1279
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:38,720
Bever uh, mental health

1280
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:40,319
incorporating the commissioners.

1281
00:48:40,319 --> 00:48:41,839
>> This is this is basically what we we've

1282
00:48:41,839 --> 00:48:43,599
already done. um beer mental health has

1283
00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:46,319
ceased to exist basically. Now we have

1284
00:48:46,319 --> 00:48:47,839
Barver

1285
00:48:47,839 --> 00:48:50,480
um behavioral health I think is the new

1286
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,400
name. So that's why we have to go

1287
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,800
through the contract to cancel because

1288
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,559
Barber mental health is now become as of

1289
00:48:56,559 --> 00:48:59,119
July 1st bear

1290
00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:03,440
health or bear behavioral health. So

1291
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,640
that's what this contract is

1292
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,319
and we do need to change if we're going

1293
00:49:08,319 --> 00:49:09,680
to do the contract. It's got the wrong

1294
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,400
signature on there. So it's currently

1295
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:13,680
we'll have to change the signature on

1296
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,520
there if we did make the motion.

1297
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,079
>> Okay. So that's that's what it is. It's

1298
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:19,760
just to terminate that contract because

1299
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,040
Bever mental health doesn't exist

1300
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,359
anymore. So my motion would be to

1301
00:49:23,359 --> 00:49:26,319
approve that uh agreement 2644 to

1302
00:49:26,319 --> 00:49:27,680
terminate the contract for Bever mental

1303
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,760
health services between Boxer County and

1304
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,599
Beverent mental health services.

1305
00:49:31,599 --> 00:49:34,559
>> Second. We have a motion by Commissioner

1306
00:49:34,559 --> 00:49:38,559
Perry uh to terminate contract number

1307
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:40,240
26-44

1308
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:41,920
for mental health services between

1309
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,920
Boxelder County and Bar River mental

1310
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,920
health services and a second by

1311
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,640
Commissioner Bingham. All in favor say

1312
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:49,280
I.

1313
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,640
>> I. Motion passes.

1314
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,240
>> Just remember to cross that out when you

1315
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:55,119
sign it.

1316
00:49:55,119 --> 00:49:58,230
>> Okay.

1317
00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:01,599
uh public entity affidavit to receive

1318
00:50:01,599 --> 00:50:04,720
conveyance of land and Glenn's going to

1319
00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:07,040
come visit with uh with us for that.

1320
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:08,079
>> Glenn Thirstston from the county

1321
00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:09,280
attorney's office and I'm going to try

1322
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:10,480
to be quick because I know there's a

1323
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,000
high school rodeo club that really wants

1324
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,559
to talk to you and not not be here any

1325
00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:15,599
longer.

1326
00:50:15,599 --> 00:50:18,000
>> Um so afraid they're gonna rope you or

1327
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:18,640
something?

1328
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,000
>> I don't know. I don't know what they're

1329
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,400
going to do. They're a wy bunch. Uh so

1330
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:28,480
out um off of I 84 between exits 30

1331
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,240
I had it pulled up between 36 and 37. Um

1332
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,480
there's a parcel of land that the

1333
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:35,760
treasur's office actually brought up

1334
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,040
that they hadn't been they'd been

1335
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,640
delinquent in their property tax

1336
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,880
payments is actually owned by the bank

1337
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:45,040
of Utah. Um and it was a weird thing. It

1338
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,559
wasn't included in a deed and it turns

1339
00:50:46,559 --> 00:50:48,400
out that the entire parcel is underneath

1340
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,800
a county road. And so they said, "How

1341
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,160
about instead of paying property tax on

1342
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,440
a county road, we just give you the

1343
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,599
county road?" Um, so it's at the

1344
00:50:55,599 --> 00:50:59,760
intersection of 136 North and 108th

1345
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,160
West. Um, and in order to do that,

1346
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,760
according to state statute, they have to

1347
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,240
give us a deed. And then we have to

1348
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:10,559
provide this affidavit saying that we

1349
00:51:10,559 --> 00:51:11,599
actually [snorts] want to receive the

1350
00:51:11,599 --> 00:51:14,240
property before it can be recorded.

1351
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:16,079
>> And who's given us the deed?

1352
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:17,280
>> The Bank of Utah.

1353
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,319
>> Utah. Okay.

1354
00:51:20,319 --> 00:51:21,839
>> Okay. Hey, I will make a motion that we

1355
00:51:21,839 --> 00:51:23,680
approve the public entity affidavit to

1356
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,440
receive conveyance of land.

1357
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:26,720
>> I'll second it.

1358
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:29,599
>> We have a motion by Commissioner Bingham

1359
00:51:29,599 --> 00:51:32,640
uh to approve public entity affidavit to

1360
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,960
receive conveyance of land and a second

1361
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,359
by Commissioner Perry. All in favor say

1362
00:51:37,359 --> 00:51:37,920
I.

1363
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,680
>> I.

1364
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:40,480
>> Very good.

1365
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:41,119
>> Thank you.

1366
00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:44,549
sir.

1367
00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:46,720
Wow.

1368
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:49,200
You guys are up.

1369
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,520
Bever High School Rodeo Club requests a

1370
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,480
fee waiver, a reduction for the

1371
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,720
fairgrounds.

1372
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:58,800
Michelle Sorenson is going to visit with

1373
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,520
us about that.

1374
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,760
Oh yeah, my name is Ty Hiplo and I'm one

1375
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,040
of the members. I'm actually the vice

1376
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:09,040
president of our club. And so a little

1377
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,440
bit about our club. We are one of the

1378
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,640
oldest rodeo clubs in high school rodeo

1379
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,559
history. We were established in the

1380
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:19,920
early 1960s, which makes us over 60

1381
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,359
years old.

1382
00:52:21,359 --> 00:52:22,880
>> How about get that a little closer to

1383
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,599
your mouth. Thank you. We're all deaf up

1384
00:52:25,599 --> 00:52:27,280
here, so [laughter]

1385
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,599
>> No, that's good. Uh, thank you for

1386
00:52:29,599 --> 00:52:31,040
giving me a couple of minutes to speak

1387
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,440
with you guys today. U, we are here to

1388
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,000
ask you consider

1389
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,680
uh a reduced offering rate for stalls

1390
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,359
and facilities for the high school rodeo

1391
00:52:41,359 --> 00:52:43,760
contestants during our rodeos.

1392
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,440
Um,

1393
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,599
typically we only require the facilities

1394
00:52:47,599 --> 00:52:49,599
for about a day and a half. It's only a

1395
00:52:49,599 --> 00:52:51,680
day this year.

1396
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,200
High school rodeo is much more than just

1397
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,680
a sport. These kids spend countless

1398
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,280
hours caring for their animals,

1399
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,160
practicing, traveling, and competing

1400
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,760
while also keeping up with school and

1401
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,839
other responsibilities.

1402
00:53:03,839 --> 00:53:06,559
We learn lots of important things like

1403
00:53:06,559 --> 00:53:08,400
responsibility, hard work,

1404
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,119
sportsmanship, respect, and how to win

1405
00:53:11,119 --> 00:53:13,119
and lose with grace.

1406
00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:16,480
But rodeo is an expensive sport.

1407
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,280
Families are already paying for horses,

1408
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,480
feed, fuel, entry fees, equipment,

1409
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,800
veterinarian care,

1410
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,680
and travel. Facility and stall fees are

1411
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,160
just another expense that make it hard

1412
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,040
for some families to participate.

1413
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,559
And we are not asking the county to

1414
00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:36,559
provide facilities for free, although

1415
00:53:36,559 --> 00:53:39,040
that would be amazing. We're just simply

1416
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,760
asking you to consider a reduced rate

1417
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,440
for these youth events, particularly

1418
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,200
because we only use it for a short

1419
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,280
amount of time.

1420
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,280
These events also bring people into our

1421
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,280
communities.

1422
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,760
Uh families purchase fuel, they eat at

1423
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,280
local restaurants, shop at local

1424
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,520
businesses, and often stay in the areas.

1425
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,760
So, by supporting the high school rodeo,

1426
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,040
you're also supporting the local

1427
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:02,720
economy.

1428
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:05,280
Most importantly, we believe in

1429
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,160
investing in opportunities for our youth

1430
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,480
is an investment into our community.

1431
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,119
These are hardworking kids who choose to

1432
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:14,880
spend their weekends competing, taking

1433
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,240
care of animals, supporting their

1434
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:19,200
teammates, and developing skills that

1435
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,760
they will use throughout their lives.

1436
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,480
We hope you will consider creating a

1437
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,440
youth or high school rodeo rate that

1438
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,400
makes the county and facilities more

1439
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,240
affordable while still covering your

1440
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:36,240
costs. Uh a small reduction in fees from

1441
00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:38,640
the county also combined with the

1442
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,760
improved RV infrastructure can make a

1443
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,200
meaningful difference to the kids and

1444
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,319
their families while also benefiting the

1445
00:54:46,319 --> 00:54:51,750
county financially.

1446
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,040
Commissioners.

1447
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,319
>> Well, I want to thank you for the

1448
00:54:54,319 --> 00:54:57,280
presentation. Um,

1449
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,119
so one of the things that most people

1450
00:54:59,119 --> 00:55:00,319
don't understand, I understand the

1451
00:55:00,319 --> 00:55:02,000
economic development.

1452
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,760
>> That economic development goes to the

1453
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,359
state, goes to the local municipalities,

1454
00:55:07,359 --> 00:55:10,079
not usually to the county. Not very much

1455
00:55:10,079 --> 00:55:12,400
of it. What is your offer? You said a

1456
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:16,720
reduced offer. uh like half where we can

1457
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:20,480
talk to my secretary Relle about that.

1458
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,359
>> Are you talking Okay, originally I was I

1459
00:55:23,359 --> 00:55:25,040
was showing that we had two days. So

1460
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,079
you're only going to need it for the

1461
00:55:26,079 --> 00:55:27,520
September 12th day. Is that correct?

1462
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:28,800
>> Yeah. So

1463
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:29,680
>> Oh, no.

1464
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,640
>> So we have to rodeo on Friday the 11th.

1465
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,960
And so to have time to set up, we have

1466
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,359
to set up on the 11th in the morning.

1467
00:55:37,359 --> 00:55:40,640
Rodeo the 11th and then we will rode on

1468
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,520
the we'll run our rodeo on the 12. We

1469
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,599
actually need almost two full days

1470
00:55:45,599 --> 00:55:47,440
because if our kids are going to rodeo

1471
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,760
at the Oregon rodeo

1472
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,720
on the 11th, we'll have to be set up so

1473
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:54,960
we can start at 8 a.m. on Saturday

1474
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,079
morning.

1475
00:55:56,079 --> 00:55:56,640
>> Okay,

1476
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,559
>> that makes sense. And so um but um in

1477
00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:03,440
previous years we haven't needed it that

1478
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,319
long because we just ran a rodeo which

1479
00:56:06,319 --> 00:56:08,400
was morning and night we were in and

1480
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,119
out. This year we're going to have the

1481
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:14,000
full Utah rodeo. association at Tree

1482
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,920
Mountain because Morgan does not have

1483
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,880
stalls and so they're everybody's going

1484
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,559
to move from Morgan to Treemont for the

1485
00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:21,920
whole evening. It's going to bring a lot

1486
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:23,920
of people in.

1487
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,599
>> So I have another question. When you

1488
00:56:25,599 --> 00:56:27,680
have uh participants, you said they have

1489
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,599
entry fees. What are the fees?

1490
00:56:29,599 --> 00:56:33,040
>> Um the fees you pay like a certain

1491
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,000
amount for each event. Isn't it like 50

1492
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:36,960
bucks?

1493
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:37,760
>> Yeah, 50.

1494
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,799
>> Depends on that event. Oh yeah, but like

1495
00:56:40,799 --> 00:56:44,000
mostly around 50 bucks per event. So it

1496
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,240
honestly just depends on how many events

1497
00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:48,880
the kids do. Like I personally do four

1498
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,079
events. So I goat tie, I pull bends, I

1499
00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:54,640
breakaway rope, and I barrel race. So

1500
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,960
all that combined is $200 just in entry

1501
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:57,440
fees.

1502
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,000
>> So that goes to livestock rental. What

1503
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,599
does it go to? you know,

1504
00:57:01,599 --> 00:57:05,040
>> um, for most of it, it just goes to like

1505
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:12,400
the association for like and the club for putting it on

1506
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:13,359
>> judges.

1507
00:57:13,359 --> 00:57:15,680
>> Yeah, that we do pay for judges and

1508
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,480
that's why um the rough stock events are

1509
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,079
more because they have to pay the

1510
00:57:20,079 --> 00:57:21,760
livestock.

1511
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,440
>> Okay.

1512
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:24,960
>> So,

1513
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,760
I I I checked with our fair director. I

1514
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,079
mean, it looks like right now the cost

1515
00:57:30,079 --> 00:57:31,920
that the total cost would be around

1516
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,280
$2,100 is what it would cost the county.

1517
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,480
Um, plus tractor fee. And I'm not sure,

1518
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,559
Jan, what what would the tractor fee be?

1519
00:57:40,559 --> 00:57:42,319
Do you know for something like that for

1520
00:57:42,319 --> 00:57:43,760
It sounds like it'd only be one day of

1521
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,280
tractors, but I'm not positive. Is it

1522
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,040
two days of tractors or not?

1523
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,280
>> It be one day. Well, we'd have to dig

1524
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,040
for their barrel racing. Okay.

1525
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,359
>> So, it would be a tractor fee is $50

1526
00:57:53,359 --> 00:57:54,160
extra.

1527
00:57:54,160 --> 00:58:02,870
>> $50 extra. Okay.

1528
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,720
I'd be willing to make a motion to to

1529
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,119
give them what we've been talking about

1530
00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:10,000
um for nonprofits. And so I would say I

1531
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,960
would give it to them at 50% off. So it

1532
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,160
would be half of whatever. So if it's 21

1533
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,040
if it comes up to 2150 or 2,200, it

1534
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,640
would be half of whatever the total

1535
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,280
amount would be. It' be my proposal. I'd

1536
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,119
be willing to give it to them. um the

1537
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:30,640
use of facility for half of what a full cost would be for this event.

1538
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:31,680
That's my motion.

1539
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,640
>> I'll second it.

1540
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,160
>> Okay. We have a motion by Commissioner

1541
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:41,200
Perry to approve um a fee waiver of half

1542
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,160
of the cost of the rental uh for the

1543
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,960
fairgrounds and a second by Commissioner

1544
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,680
Bingham. All in favor say I.

1545
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:50,880
>> I. I.

1546
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,319
>> What was your name?

1547
00:58:52,319 --> 00:58:53,119
>> Ty Hipple.

1548
00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:56,079
>> Will you spell that for me? Yes. T A Y C

1549
00:58:56,079 --> 00:58:57,119
E

1550
00:58:57,119 --> 00:59:02,160
>> and then H I P W E L L.

1551
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,319
>> So I have another I have another quick

1552
00:59:04,319 --> 00:59:05,760
question.

1553
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,920
>> Do you charge admission?

1554
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,599
>> No, we don't.

1555
00:59:09,599 --> 00:59:11,760
>> Oh, we only do that at state finals.

1556
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,200
>> Oh.

1557
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,119
>> So I can come and watch for nothing?

1558
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:16,079
>> Yes, you can.

1559
00:59:16,079 --> 00:59:17,680
>> How about if I contribute or something

1560
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:18,640
like that, right?

1561
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:19,200
>> Yep.

1562
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,680
>> Okay.

somebody wanted to to contribute to that

1576
00:59:52,799 --> 00:59:54,400
and wanted to maybe contribute to pay

1577
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,760
for the tractor fee, could they do that?

1578
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,200
>> Is that something they could do? Just do

1579
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,040

the barrel racing

1587
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,680
after so many barrel racers they have to

1588
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,079
come in and dig the track or the dirt so

1589
01:00:20,079 --> 01:00:23,520
that it's a clean slate so they can race

1590
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:23,920
again.

1591
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,400
>> So is it $50 an event?

1592
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,880
>> It's $50 for the tractor fee for the

1593
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:29,359
day.

01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:33,119
$50.

1598
01:00:33,119 --> 01:00:34,799
>> I'd be willing to pay that, too. Yeah.

1599
01:00:34,799 --> 01:00:36,480
>> All right. Just wanted to follow up on

ambulance service for the Northwork

1613
01:01:01,839 --> 01:01:03,359
Grumman

1614
01:01:03,359 --> 01:01:07,760
uh site. Uh going back to uh for history

1615
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,760
on this Senate Bill 2000 uh 2025, Senate

1616
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,000
Bill 215

1617
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:15,760
uh it's titled the emergency medical

1618
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,480
services modifications modified some of

1619
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,599
the some of the Utah rules. To put it in

1620
01:01:21,599 --> 01:01:25,920
a nutshell in my words, prior to this uh

1621
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,319
these modifications, all ambulance

1622
01:01:28,319 --> 01:01:30,559
service areas were dictated by the Utah

1623
01:01:30,559 --> 01:01:33,280
Bureau of EMS. They worked with county

1624
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,640
EMS uh councils, but they would come in

1625
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,520
and decide who could go to what areas.

1626
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,720
It was their administrative rules. This

1627
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:44,240
changed and made it now the

1628
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,640
responsibilities of each municipal

1629
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:50,000
entity, the county or each city to go in

1630
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,920
and designate

1631
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,640
and to provide the 911 service as well

1632
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,480
as interfacility transfers. And it seems

1633
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,559
that this this particular modification

1634
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:01,680
was heavy on inter facility transfers.

1635
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,119
Personal opinion, I think this was

1636
01:02:03,119 --> 01:02:06,000
reversing some control that uh one

1637
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,200
particular private agency had on this

1638
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,240
entire system. So this is reversing it.

1639
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,400
So this request that I have submitted to

1640
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,000
you is due to my relicensing uh to relic

1641
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,160
my ambulance.

1642
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,559
I think they have us come at it this way

1643
01:02:22,559 --> 01:02:25,040
is now for Boxelder County. This would

1644
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,200
be for you to request me to provide

1645
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,280
ambulance service being a licensed

1646
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,680
agency for the Northwork Grumman site.

1647
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,119
And you're going to find this with all

1648
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:35,200
agencies that need to come that provide

1649
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:39,359
it for Boxer County. So, this is going to be from Fielding, from

1650
01:02:39,359 --> 01:02:42,400
Plymouth, from Tmont, from Bighgam. Uh,

1651
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,319
Snowville has already done it for you,

1652
01:02:44,319 --> 01:02:46,319
but each one of them is going to need to

1653
01:02:46,319 --> 01:02:49,119
receive from you a a bid for proposal to

1654
01:02:49,119 --> 01:02:52,240
cover that specific area. So, in other

1655
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,079
words, I'm coming at this backwards. I'm

1656
01:02:54,079 --> 01:02:57,040
requesting for from you to request for

1657
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,839
me to provide ambulance service to my

1658
01:02:59,839 --> 01:03:02,799
area and the paperwork that I gave you

1659
01:03:02,799 --> 01:03:05,280
basically to let you know we are a a

1660
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,799
private entity. We do support offsite as

1661
01:03:08,799 --> 01:03:10,640
requested from the county. We'll take

1662
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,119
our ambulance offsite help where we can.

1663
01:03:13,119 --> 01:03:15,680
We're there to to support the community.

1664
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:17,680
um by the previous licenses that we've

1665
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,839
had, we are a licensed transport agency

1666
01:03:19,839 --> 01:03:23,280
911 on our site and we are a first

1667
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,920
designated as a first responder offsite.

1668
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,240
Um the two ambulance areas, two

1669
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,160
ambulance services that we support would

1670
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,720
be Tmont and Brigham and at their

1671
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,480
discretion, if we happen to be on site

1672
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,160
and they want us to transport, we're

1673
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:37,599
then allowed to transport. But that's

1674
01:03:37,599 --> 01:03:40,640
based on their their request, not ours.

1675
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,480
>> Transport means what?

1676
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,240
>> Hauling a patient from the scene to the

1677
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,039
hospital. Okay. So, to flip that around

1678
01:03:47,039 --> 01:03:48,400
just a little bit, if there was another

1679
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,000
entity out there and they came out to

1680
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,760
North Grumman and said, "Hey, we we

1681
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,039
heard there's a problem. We want to come

1682
01:03:53,039 --> 01:03:55,039
on." Could they even get on your

1683
01:03:55,039 --> 01:03:56,799
>> Yeah, they could. And we could request

1684
01:03:56,799 --> 01:03:59,760
it. Just like the we had a a significant

1685
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,839
fire at our facility last year. We had

1686
01:04:01,839 --> 01:04:03,839
county responders coming in. If we had a

1687
01:04:03,839 --> 01:04:05,520
mass casualty event, we are going to be

1688
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,200
calling and requesting help to come in.

1689
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:07,520
Okay.

1690
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:08,319
>> Absolutely.

1691
01:04:08,319 --> 01:04:10,000
>> Y

1692
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,079
looked at your boundaries.

1693
01:04:12,079 --> 01:04:14,480
It's this isn't an exact the state said

1694
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,880
I could use this uh if you would prefer

1695
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,920
I could go and pick all of the specific

1696
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,240
plots of land by number and put it on

1697
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,960
there. It it basically we do not cover

1698
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,799
the highway. The highway belongs to

1699
01:04:26,799 --> 01:04:28,880
Tmont or to Brigham Ambulance. We are

1700
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,920
everything with inside our fence. So it

1701
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,079
follows the highway a little bit of

1702
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:38,720
section off of Highway 102 onto Highway

1703
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,680
83. It follows around from the south

1704
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,520
down the west side of our facility up

1705
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,760
around to the north. Uh covers a little

1706
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,920
bit of Foss Valley Road and then follows

1707
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,559
our perimeter fence along our fire

1708
01:04:50,559 --> 01:04:51,920
breaks all the way back.

1709
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,119
>> Blue section in the middle.

1710
01:04:53,119 --> 01:04:55,119
>> The blue section is actually auto leave.

1711
01:04:55,119 --> 01:04:55,440
Okay.

1712
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:56,960
>> So we are not responsible for auto

1713
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:57,440
leave.

1714
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:58,640
>> You don't respond. You won't respond

1715
01:04:58,640 --> 01:04:59,119
there. Then

1716
01:04:59,119 --> 01:05:01,039
>> we will if requested and we have before.

1717
01:05:01,039 --> 01:05:01,520
>> Okay.

1718
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,359
>> So if they request us to come in auto

1719
01:05:03,359 --> 01:05:05,839
leave actually has an unlicensed

1720
01:05:05,839 --> 01:05:07,599
ambulance and they can do that as a

1721
01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:08,400
private business.

1722
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,319
>> Okay. So, they do have an ambulance

1723
01:05:10,319 --> 01:05:12,720
there, but because they're not licensed,

1724
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,520
they can only haul their employees. If

1725
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:16,960
they have a contractor up on site, and

1726
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,880
we've had this before, there was a

1727
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,440
contractor, they called us to go up and

1728
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,200
help. We went up, it was a burn victim,

1729
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,799
and we had Lifellight land at our

1730
01:05:24,799 --> 01:05:26,000
facility to home.

1731
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:27,440
>> Okay, that's good to know.

1732
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:28,960
>> But technically, that is actually

1733
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,200
Tolton's area, but we will go to help.

1734
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,160
Um what about you have property that I

1735
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:35,680
don't know if I mean county I think

1736
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,839
handles it right now or through Karen um

1737
01:05:37,839 --> 01:05:39,760
where the train route

1738
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,480
>> nope that is not ours. So that Karen

1739
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,039
belongs to Brigham City and Karen is the

1740
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:46,880
first responder there as well as the

1741
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:47,839
ranch.

1742
01:05:47,839 --> 01:05:49,920
>> So this this does not include

1743
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:50,880
>> Okay. Good to know.

1744
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,200
>> No that still falls and that's based on

1745
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,039
what was originally established by the

1746
01:05:55,039 --> 01:05:56,240
Utah Bureau of EMS.

1747
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:56,720
>> Right.

1748
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,680
>> So yeah this is just for our core site

1749
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:00,960
that promontory. I just want to make

1750
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,880
sure Newore was interested to be

1751
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,160
interested in hearing if they wanted to

1752
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:05,440
do something like that. But that would

1753
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,680
be a long ways for you guys to respond.

1754
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:08,400
>> Yeah. No.

1755
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:09,440
>> And you don't you're not there that

1756
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:09,920
frequently.

1757
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,559
>> So, in fact, when we had the uh they had

1758
01:06:12,559 --> 01:06:14,720
the train unveiling there,

1759
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:16,559
>> um I talked with Brigham City Fire

1760
01:06:16,559 --> 01:06:18,240
Chief. We had our ambulance there on

1761
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:19,920
standby. They said, "If it's a critical,

1762
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,280
haul it, but if it's not, let us know

1763
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:22,480
and we'll come pick them up."

1764
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:23,599
>> Okay, good to know.

1765
01:06:23,599 --> 01:06:25,680
>> We have those verbal agreements in

1766
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:26,160
place.

1767
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,160
>> Great.

1768
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:29,920
Well, I'd make the request that we have

1769
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:34,240
Northrup Grumman Fire Department. Uh we you know ask that you provide

1770
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:35,839
services there and that we would provide

1771
01:06:35,839 --> 01:06:38,000
you with a letter support to continue to

1772
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,400
provide services on your facility.

1773
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:41,119
>> Second.

1774
01:06:41,119 --> 01:06:43,200
>> We have a motion by Commissioner Perry

1775
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,760
to provide support to Northwick Grumman

1776
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,640
Fire Department uh request for the

1777
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,680
request of a proposal and a second by

1778
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:53,520
Commissioner Bingham. If there's no

1779
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,000
further discussion, all in favor say I.

1780
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,359
I.

1781
01:06:57,359 --> 01:06:58,000
Thanks, Jim.

1782
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:59,440
>> Thank you very much.

1783
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:03,039
>> This sign of that

1784
01:07:03,039 --> 01:07:13,190
Chrissy.

1785
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,640
Okay. Peach day schedule for the county

1786
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:21,670
building.

1787
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,440
» We'll just close the whole day.

1788
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,240
>> Okay. So, no, we won't. peach day

1789
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,760
schedule. Um as as as you're all aware,

1790
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,531
every year peach days we provide um

1791
01:07:32,531 --> 01:07:35,039
[snorts] the facility over here to our

1792
01:07:35,039 --> 01:07:37,440
um south um the front part of our

1793
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,440
parking lot is taken up. The chamber of

1794
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,440
commerce is asked and they put in uh

1795
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,039
some of the food trucks and food vendors

1796
01:07:43,039 --> 01:07:45,039
and things in that parking lot starting

1797
01:07:45,039 --> 01:07:47,359
Friday morning. Um makes it very

1798
01:07:47,359 --> 01:07:48,960
difficult for people to get in and out

1799
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,280
of our facility on that Friday of peach

1800
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,559
days. And then over at our DMV office,

1801
01:07:54,559 --> 01:07:56,880
we have a similar situation where people

1802
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,280
can't get into the DMV office because by

1803
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,599
3:00 in the afternoon, people are coming

1804
01:08:01,599 --> 01:08:03,280
early to get ready for the parade and

1805
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,039
the youth parade. And so that parking

1806
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:07,119
lot fills up and nobody can get in to do

1807
01:08:07,119 --> 01:08:08,799
any services there. And we have a

1808
01:08:08,799 --> 01:08:10,160
similar situation over our county

1809
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,480
attorney's office and the courts um

1810
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,480
because again parade and we shut

1811
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:15,920
everything down along Main Street here

1812
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,319
where all the county facilities are. So,

1813
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:19,920
and knowing Brigham City's done it in

1814
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:21,839
the past and we did it last year, my

1815
01:08:21,839 --> 01:08:24,239
proposal and my motion would be that we

1816
01:08:24,239 --> 01:08:27,600
um shut county offices down at 3 p.m. on

1817
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,560
the Friday of Peach Days um to make the

1818
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,120
facility available and get our employees

1819
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,040
home safely and out of the parking lot

1820
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:36,799
so that we can open that facility and

1821
01:08:36,799 --> 01:08:38,960
use it as necessary.

1822
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:40,239
>> Second.

1823
01:08:40,239 --> 01:08:42,719
We have a motion by Commissioner Perry

1824
01:08:42,719 --> 01:08:45,440
uh to shut our buildings down at 300 PM

1825
01:08:45,440 --> 01:08:48,719
on uh peach days and a second

1826
01:08:48,719 --> 01:08:50,239
>> the Friday of peach days. Saturday,

1827
01:08:50,239 --> 01:08:52,799
>> excuse me, the Friday of Peach Days. Um

1828
01:08:52,799 --> 01:08:54,799
and a second by Commissioner Bingham.

1829
01:08:54,799 --> 01:08:56,000
All in favor say I.

1830
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,560
>> I.

1831
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,560
>> Okay. A review of victim services

1832
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:05,199
offered and victim

1833
01:09:05,199 --> 01:09:09,279
demographics through 126.

1834
01:09:09,279 --> 01:09:12,960
uh 126 through 6:26. Cheryl Bergen's

1835
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,520
going to visit with us about that.

1836
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:16,560
>> Hi, Cheryl.

1837
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:17,199
>> How are you?

1838
01:09:17,199 --> 01:09:19,120
>> Good. How are you?

1839
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:19,520
>> Good.

1840
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:20,480
>> It's great, isn't it?

1841
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:21,920
>> Great. [laughter]

1842
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,759
Doing great. Um,

1843
01:09:25,759 --> 01:09:26,400
>> should

1844
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,719
>> push the arrow with the

1845
01:09:28,719 --> 01:09:29,120
>> Okay,

1846
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:30,880
>> look at that.

1847
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,679
>> It works. Okay, I I won't even use my

1848
01:09:33,679 --> 01:09:35,839
computer. All right, we've done this

1849
01:09:35,839 --> 01:09:40,799
before, right? Um so this is just a a

1850
01:09:40,799 --> 01:09:43,920
look um from January through June of

1851
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,719
this year. Um and as you know we do

1852
01:09:46,719 --> 01:09:51,359
receive some funding from UOVC. So got

1853
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:54,400
to mention them. All right. So as you

1854
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,800
can see total served in in quarter 3 was

1855
01:09:56,800 --> 01:10:00,159
317 quarter 4 314.

1856
01:10:00,159 --> 01:10:03,199
You can see um out of that those numbers

1857
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:05,600
the new clients and the continuing

1858
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:09,600
clients. Okay, any questions? Okay, I

1859
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,600
know you guys have a really long agenda

1860
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,480
today. Um, this is just kind of breaking

1861
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:17,360
down some of our demographics. Um, and

1862
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,640
this is of those new victims served.

1863
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:25,600
Okay, so I believe it was 272 total new

1864
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,480
victims from January through June. So

1865
01:10:28,480 --> 01:10:30,800
that gives you kind of that breakdown of

1866
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:35,440
um the ages that we're looking at.

1867
01:10:35,440 --> 01:10:38,880
Um this also breaks down um by gender.

1868
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,560
As you can see, we have a few more um

1869
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,719
female victims than we do males.

1870
01:10:46,719 --> 01:10:47,920
And then these are some of the

1871
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,320
victimizations. So this is a total. So

1872
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,400
this isn't just on new victims, it's for

1873
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,880
all of the victims that we served during

1874
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,520
that time period. And you can see with

1875
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,560
the domestic violence, we've got 160. So

1876
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,280
what we find is that most of the time a

1877
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,360
domestic violence is associated with

1878
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,400
another charge, could be assault, could

1879
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,000
be criminal trespass. There's could be

1880
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:11,360
there could be a lot of things with the

1881
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,880
DV tag. So that gives you an idea of how

1882
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,520
many cases related to domestic violence

1883
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:18,719
or interpersonal [cough]

1884
01:11:18,719 --> 01:11:21,280
um uh violence that we're dealing with.

1885
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,080
So quite a bit. We've got 34 sexual

1886
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:27,199
assault. That's for adults. Um 43 child

1887
01:11:27,199 --> 01:11:31,679
abuse. um 146 like I mentioned multi-

1888
01:11:31,679 --> 01:11:34,159
victimizations if it's not domestic

1889
01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:36,159
violence sometimes we see assault um

1890
01:11:36,159 --> 01:11:39,600
with other with other crimes right

1891
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,199
um here we've got the 58 child sexual

1892
01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:48,560
abuse um 166 adult physical assault 31

1893
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,440
identity theft fraud or financial and

1894
01:11:51,440 --> 01:11:53,520
then 42 protective order or stalking

1895
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,520
injunction violations that's a lot

1896
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,600
um I wanted to give you an idea because

1897
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,360
as as I've mentioned before when I've

1898
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,840
come is that I spit out all of these

1899
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:07,120
numbers, but the reality is every number

1900
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:10,159
there's a person. Um, and this is a

1901
01:12:10,159 --> 01:12:12,080
little bit of an overview of the process

1902
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:16,080
for them because when a case gets going,

1903
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:17,840
yes, it's the state versus the

1904
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:21,760
defendant, right? But there is a person

1905
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,640
also that is involved and they often get

1906
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,280
overlooked and that's why we're there is

1907
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:28,800
to make sure victims are not getting

1908
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,120
overlooked and we're there to make sure

1909
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:32,239
that they're getting the help and

1910
01:12:32,239 --> 01:12:34,400
support that they need throughout that

1911
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,719
process. And so

1912
01:12:36,719 --> 01:12:39,280
it all starts with them making a phone

1913
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,600
call reporting or maybe it's a family

1914
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,000
member that's reported and having to

1915
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,239
tell their story to the police. um

1916
01:12:46,239 --> 01:12:47,920
there's an investigation and that there

1917
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,719
could be pretty invasive medical exams

1918
01:12:50,719 --> 01:12:53,520
depending on what's happened. So they're

1919
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:55,520
getting retraumatized just by going

1920
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:59,600
through this process, right? So

1921
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,040
there's a lot of times we're getting

1922
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,360
called out to help during an

1923
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,679
investigation to help a victim. Um but

1924
01:13:05,679 --> 01:13:06,960
most of the time we're getting involved

1925
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:08,880
once the case has been referred over to

1926
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,600
our office. So then it gets over to our

1927
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:13,840
office, right? and it's there for

1928
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:15,840
screening and depending on a whole lot

1929
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,640
of factors that could take days to

1930
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:24,640
months um before a decision is made on charges. And so in the meantime, we

1931
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,920
have victims that are in limbo um not

1932
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,679
sure what's going on. Um and so for us,

1933
01:13:31,679 --> 01:13:33,199
we really want to make sure that we're

1934
01:13:33,199 --> 01:13:36,000
getting information to these victims of

1935
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,080
the resources that are available and of

1936
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:39,440
course letting them know when charges

1937
01:13:39,440 --> 01:13:42,000
have been filed um and when charges

1938
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:46,080
haven't been filed on some cases. So um

1939
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,760
we want to make sure that throughout

1940
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,560
that process they're being heard.

1941
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,280
Court is

1942
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:54,880
slow

1943
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,440
there. I I know everybody has a right to

1944
01:13:57,440 --> 01:14:00,560
a speedy process, but it's not speedy

1945
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,280
and victims get extremely frustrated

1946
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,760
when it's just continuence after

1947
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,080
continuence and they don't understand.

1948
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,239
Um, and so this could drag on for

1949
01:14:10,239 --> 01:14:13,760
months. Um, and so it's trying to help

1950
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:15,920
them understand the court process,

1951
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:17,440
what's happening. Most of them have

1952
01:14:17,440 --> 01:14:19,840
never been in court, don't understand

1953
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,719
it, and so that's why we're there. So,

1954
01:14:22,719 --> 01:14:24,560
as you can see, um, educated and

1955
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,320
notified victims regarding the court

1956
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,679
process happened 1,823

1957
01:14:29,679 --> 01:14:35,760
times. Um, we attended a,084 hearings.

1958
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,560
Um, most of our victims do not want to

1959
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,800
be there. They don't want to see their

1960
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,120
perpetrator. Um, but they, a lot of them

1961
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,840
do want to know what's going on. Um, and

1962
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,320
so there's a lot of communication. I

1963
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:49,840
would say the biggest part of my job is

1964
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,080
communication between vict the victims

1965
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,719
and prosecutors.

1966
01:14:54,719 --> 01:14:56,239
Um

1967
01:14:56,239 --> 01:14:58,000
we finally get to the end of a court

1968
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,760
process, right? Whether that's a

1969
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,640
defendant has entered a plea or they

1970
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:06,400
have been found guilty by a jury. Um and

1971
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,080
we finally get to sentencing. And at

1972
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:09,920
sentencing, it's one of the few times a

1973
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,560
victim really can speak openly in court.

1974
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,800
And there's various ways that they are

1975
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,440
able to get that statement um heard by

1976
01:15:17,440 --> 01:15:19,920
the judge. Um so we help them through

1977
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,760
that process of trying to get a victim

1978
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,000
impact statement. It is important for

1979
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,000
the judge to hear from them and to know

1980
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,560
how whatever has happened has impacted

1981
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,440
their life. Um so we really try to to

1982
01:15:31,440 --> 01:15:33,520
get them to at least do a statement.

1983
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,280
There's times that we are reading the

1984
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,199
statement for them. Sometimes we're able

1985
01:15:37,199 --> 01:15:39,840
to submit it um with the the presentence

1986
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,000
report. Um, but we want to make sure the

1987
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,640
judge gets their side um and how it's

1988
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,800
impacted them. And along with that is

1989
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,760
the financial restitution. Not all cases

1990
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:51,679
are asking for restitution, but many

1991
01:15:51,679 --> 01:15:54,000
are. So, we're working with victims to

1992
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,199
try to get the documentation to verify

1993
01:15:57,199 --> 01:16:00,800
what h they've had to spend um or um

1994
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,320
estimates of what they're going to have

1995
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:05,280
to spend. And so, um with impact

1996
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:06,719
statements and restitution, that

1997
01:16:06,719 --> 01:16:10,400
happened 169 times. And then we finally

1998
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:11,840
get to the, you know, we're done with

1999
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,560
sentencing. And um if we get to

2000
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:16,880
sentencing, sometimes we we don't get a

2001
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,920
guilty verdict. Sometimes um things

2002
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:21,760
happen where a case may may get

2003
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:23,199
dismissed. And so one of the biggest

2004
01:16:23,199 --> 01:16:25,040
things that we try to do is to help them

2005
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,360
understand that the court process is

2006
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,239
just one piece of the puzzle and helping

2007
01:16:30,239 --> 01:16:33,679
them heal. um and trying to empower them

2008
01:16:33,679 --> 01:16:35,920
to to move on and to be able to get the

2009
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,320
help and and the resources because some

2010
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,239
of these victims, it's going to be a

2011
01:16:40,239 --> 01:16:43,120
lifetime impact that they have. So, we

2012
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,679
want to empower them. And then through

2013
01:16:45,679 --> 01:16:48,400
all of this, we continue to work quite a

2014
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,239
bit with law enforcement. Like I

2015
01:16:50,239 --> 01:16:52,320
mentioned before, we're um they're doing

2016
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,800
really well in giving us calls on

2017
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,120
domestic violence. that law changed a

2018
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,040
few years ago where now if a victim

2019
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,760
screens in um high on the lethality

2020
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,480
assessment that they get to call two

2021
01:17:04,480 --> 01:17:06,719
victim advocates advocates over at New

2022
01:17:06,719 --> 01:17:08,560
Hope and then they get to call us as

2023
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,040
well. Um and there's lots of reasons why

2024
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:12,719
but it's they've been doing really well

2025
01:17:12,719 --> 01:17:15,040
with that and of course uh children's

2026
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,440
justice center. I'm also the the

2027
01:17:17,440 --> 01:17:21,040
Boxelder County uh forensic interview in

2028
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,360
interview specialist. There we go. So I

2029
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:26,560
continue to do that. um had 99

2030
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,520
interviews um over the last six months.

2031
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:33,040
Um way too many interviews, right? Um

2032
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:34,800
and then of course we continue to work

2033
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,719
with DCFS. So that's the gist. Any

2034
01:17:38,719 --> 01:17:40,560
questions?

2035
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:44,159
>> Yeah, I mean just uh viewing

2036
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:46,000
some of the description you have about

2037
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:47,360
uh some of the crimes that have been

2038
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,320
committed. Um can you give me an idea of

2039
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,239
these folks and what kind of a support

2040
01:17:52,239 --> 01:17:53,840
group they have?

2041
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:55,760
Seems like to me that in this situation

2042
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:57,920
they don't have much of a support group.

2043
01:17:57,920 --> 01:17:58,960
>> Is that true or not?

2044
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:03,280
>> It just depends. Um for some um they

2045
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,000
might have been isolated by um their

2046
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,080
perpetrator and they may not have a lot

2047
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:10,159
of family or friend support and then we

2048
01:18:10,159 --> 01:18:12,320
have some that have a great support

2049
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:17,120
system. Um we're there to just help

2050
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,520
where we where they need us um and meet

2051
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,239
them where they are. Um, so it just

2052
01:18:22,239 --> 01:18:23,040
depends.

2053
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:24,800
>> But even if they have a great support

2054
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,640
group, they're probably not familiar

2055
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:27,600
with the legal

2056
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:28,239
>> No.

2057
01:18:28,239 --> 01:18:29,440
>> situation at all.

2058
01:18:29,440 --> 01:18:31,440
>> Most of the time, no. Yeah. Most of the

2059
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:34,719
time it's um sometimes it's their first

2060
01:18:34,719 --> 01:18:36,239
time, sometimes they've been down this

2061
01:18:36,239 --> 01:18:40,320
road before um as a victim. And so it

2062
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:41,920
just it depends, but most of the time

2063
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:43,440
they they don't know, they don't

2064
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:46,000
understand. Um and that's why I say

2065
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,640
communication is such a key part because

2066
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,640
I'm a social worker. I'm not an

2067
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,600
attorney. Right? So, that's why it's so

2068
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,560
important that as as we staff cases and

2069
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,560
we are talking to the prosecutors,

2070
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:00,400
they're helping us understand what the

2071
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,719
legal aspect of things are and we're

2072
01:19:02,719 --> 01:19:04,960
helping the prosecutors understand where

2073
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,960
this victim is and and the social aspect

2074
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:08,640
and the trauma that these victims have

2075
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,159
gone through. So, that's why I say

2076
01:19:10,159 --> 01:19:12,000
communication is such a key part of what

2077
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:12,719
we do.

2078
01:19:12,719 --> 01:19:14,400
>> Yeah. Well, sometimes you just need

2079
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:15,679
someone to talk to that'll listen to

2080
01:19:15,679 --> 01:19:16,880
you, too.

2081
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,600
>> Yes. I'm on the phone a lot. Yeah.

2082
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:20,800
>> Yeah. Yeah.

2083
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,280
>> And you didn't mention your dog.

2084
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:24,960
>> You got an emotional support dog that

2085
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:25,440
helps, right?

2086
01:19:25,440 --> 01:19:27,040
>> Oh, well, yeah. Maggie.

2087
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:28,320
>> Okay. Just making sure.

2088
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,920
>> Yes. Yeah. No, I um Maggie Maggie's

2089
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,719
doing great. I have taken her into the

2090
01:19:34,719 --> 01:19:37,920
CJC and the kids. Um not all kids are

2091
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:39,760
fond of dogs and Maggie's not a small

2092
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,040
dog. Um but we do ask about that before

2093
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:44,560
um they get there and if they've said

2094
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,880
you I don't want to see Maggie, we just

2095
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:48,560
keep her in another room. But for the

2096
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:50,960
most part, um, they want it they want

2097
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:51,920
the dog there.

2098
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:53,199
>> Can we track to see how many times

2099
01:19:53,199 --> 01:19:55,600
Maggie's being used and how

2100
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:56,000
>> I mean,

2101
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,920
>> I haven't been tracking that. Lee,

2102
01:19:57,920 --> 01:19:59,360
>> I'm just Well, I'm just asking because I

2103
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:00,560
know that they're doing that so many

2104
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:00,800
things.

2105
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,400
>> You USU has been doing that a little bit

2106
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:04,400
with Sage, which is a similar dog over

2107
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:05,520
there. And so, I know they've been kind

2108
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,440
of trying to see when they use Sage in

2109
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:08,719
the public versus when they're using

2110
01:20:08,719 --> 01:20:10,400
Sage for for those purposes. And I just

2111
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:11,440
was kind of curious.

2112
01:20:11,440 --> 01:20:14,000
>> I have not been tracking that. Um, I

2113
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:14,400
could

2114
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,040
>> I just just curious just to see because

2115
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:17,840
I think it's

2116
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:19,920
>> the rest of the 181 things that you have

2117
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:20,560
to track.

2118
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:21,760
>> Yeah. You know,

2119
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:22,159
>> yeah,

2120
01:20:22,159 --> 01:20:24,320
>> let's add one more. It's all good. It's

2121
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,719
all good. But yeah, um, we do take her

2122
01:20:26,719 --> 01:20:29,280
over there and and frankly, she's

2123
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:30,960
probably a support animal for her

2124
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:32,640
office.

2125
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:33,360
So,

2126
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:36,080
>> well, these are when we talk about this,

2127
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:39,199
Cheryl, it's very sad,

2128
01:20:39,199 --> 01:20:41,120
>> but thank goodness that we have a

2129
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,920
facility and and a place where they can

2130
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:45,760
go and and that they can visit with

2131
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:48,080
people and get help and and that is so

2132
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:48,880
critical.

2133
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:50,000
>> Yeah, we appreciate what you do.

2134
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,840
>> We really appreciate what you guys do.

2135
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:53,840
>> Sure. Thank you. Appreciate it.

2136
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:55,040
>> Thanks for the report.

2137
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,280
>> Yeah.

2138
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:00,480
>> Okay. Resolution

2139
01:21:00,480 --> 01:21:02,000
26-20

2140
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:06,159
25 consenting to Utah United States Fish

2141
01:21:06,159 --> 01:21:08,800
and Wildlife Services acquisition of the

2142
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:12,239
state lands for the use by within the

2143
01:21:12,239 --> 01:21:13,520
boundaries of the Bear Riverver

2144
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,159
migratory bird refuge and our attorney

2145
01:21:16,159 --> 01:21:18,400
is going to visit with us about that was

2146
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,800
contacted by Joel Ferry. Uh he said he'd

2147
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:22,000
spoken to some of you I don't know if he

2148
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,040
has or not

2149
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:24,640
>> about the dispute that's gone on between

2150
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,760
the state of Utah and the bird refuge.

2151
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:29,760
interesting because the bird has treated

2152
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,159
as their property for so many years and

2153
01:21:32,159 --> 01:21:33,600
uh discovered that it didn't belong to

2154
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:35,440
them. So they've entered into an

2155
01:21:35,440 --> 01:21:37,199
agreement. They're in the process of

2156
01:21:37,199 --> 01:21:38,560
entering into agreement. It's not done

2157
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,440
yet of transferring the land from the

2158
01:21:41,440 --> 01:21:43,040
state to the refuge that could be used

2159
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:44,480
in the bird refugees the way they've

2160
01:21:44,480 --> 01:21:46,800
always used it. The refuge will will

2161
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,640
access some federal funding to pay for

2162
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,040
that which the state will then use for

2163
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,679
the Great Salt Lake and other things u

2164
01:21:53,679 --> 01:21:55,600
to help the state. the federal

2165
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,159
government requires that the county

2166
01:21:58,159 --> 01:22:00,639
where the property sits at least say

2167
01:22:00,639 --> 01:22:02,159
that they're okay with the process. And

2168
01:22:02,159 --> 01:22:03,920
so that's what this resolution does is

2169
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:05,360
saying that we're okay with this

2170
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,360
happening. Uh we think that it's the

2171
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:08,880
benefit of the interests of the citizens

2172
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:10,960
of the county. So that's all this is is

2173
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,880
a resolution saying that. Okay.

2174
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,040
>> So, uh when I talked to Joel, he was

2175
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:16,960
talking about a meander line between the

2176
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,199
Great Salt Lake and a bird refuge.

2177
01:22:19,199 --> 01:22:21,120
>> Do they have a map showing that?

2178
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:23,520
>> I have not seen one. I know the area and

2179
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,080
I don't know how it all came about, how

2180
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,159
the dispute came about, but I I know the

2181
01:22:28,159 --> 01:22:29,440
area they're talking about. It's it's

2182
01:22:29,440 --> 01:22:32,400
basically just a lot of area out there

2183
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,320
with no real landmarks to mark what's

2184
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:34,719
what.

2185
01:22:34,719 --> 01:22:36,400
>> So, he sounded like kind of anxious

2186
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:37,920
about that. I kind of like to see a map

2187
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,560
before we get too carried away.

2188
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:41,760
What do you think?

2189
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:45,120
>> Um, I'm okay with that. I I mean, um,

2190
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,040
>> you would think in today's world of GPS,

2191
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,120
they could generate something. See, from

2192
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:51,040
our perspective, whether the state owns

2193
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:52,719
it or the refuge owns it, it's going to

2194
01:22:52,719 --> 01:22:54,560
be treated the same way from our

2195
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,080
perspective. So, the fact that they're

2196
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:57,440
transferring it to the refuge indicates

2197
01:22:57,440 --> 01:22:58,960
that it's going to be used by the refuge

2198
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:00,560
for refuge purposes and not for anything

2199
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:01,600
else.

2200
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:02,480
>> So, I'm [clears throat] not real

2201
01:23:02,480 --> 01:23:04,719
concerned about where it's located,

2202
01:23:04,719 --> 01:23:06,159
>> but it has been for years. I mean, it's

2203
01:23:06,159 --> 01:23:07,600
just

2204
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,520
>> and it it's been used by the refuge for

2205
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:11,679
years. That's the kicker is it's just

2206
01:23:11,679 --> 01:23:12,880
that they should have been they should

2207
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,239
have bought it from us. I mean it's not

2208
01:23:14,239 --> 01:23:15,120
they should have bought it from the

2209
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:16,639
state because it sits within the whole

2210
01:23:16,639 --> 01:23:18,159
meander line and part of this is it has

2211
01:23:18,159 --> 01:23:21,120
to do with uh state sovereign lands and

2212
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:23,520
they can't own state sovereign lands and

2213
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,199
that's part of why this is all

2214
01:23:25,199 --> 01:23:27,199
>> if you go out on the bar the auto tour

2215
01:23:27,199 --> 01:23:28,639
out there and get on the very far side

2216
01:23:28,639 --> 01:23:31,920
and look out as far as you can see and

2217
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:33,600
it's out in that area yeah is where it's

2218
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,000
located.

2219
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:39,430
So,

2220
01:23:39,440 --> 01:23:41,600
» I don't know. I'm comfortable um

2221
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,280
promoting it passing it at this time. I'

2222
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:44,960
I'd make a motion we pass resolution

2223
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:46,480
2625

2224
01:23:46,480 --> 01:23:49,040
as presented.

2225
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:50,960
>> I'll second it. We have a motion by

2226
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,400
Commissioner Perry to uh approve

2227
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:57,520
resolution number 2625 consenting to the

2228
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:01,199
Utah United States Fishing Wildlife

2229
01:24:01,199 --> 01:24:04,000
Service acquisition of state Utah State

2230
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,199
Lands for the use by the by and within

2231
01:24:07,199 --> 01:24:11,040
the boundaries of the bird refuge

01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,159
migratory bird refuge and a second by

2233
01:24:14,159 --> 01:24:16,239
Commissioner Bingham. All in favor say

2234
01:24:16,239 --> 01:24:17,840
I. I.

2235
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,560
>> Motion passes. Thank you.

2236
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,360
Gner Community Development

2237
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:26,639
uh review and approval of the River

2238
01:24:26,639 --> 01:24:29,679
Vista Subdivision Improvement Agreement.

2239
01:24:29,679 --> 01:24:31,280
And Scott's going to come visit with us

2240
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:32,560
about that.

2241
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,080
>> Explain what that all means.

2242
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,159
>> Good evening. Scott Lions Community

2243
01:24:36,159 --> 01:24:39,520
Development. Uh the River Vista

2244
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,159
Subdivision is a subdivision located at

2245
01:24:42,159 --> 01:24:47,840
4165 West, 5600 North. Uh it is west of

2246
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,080
Bay River, sorry, east of Bay River

2247
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:52,719
City. It is just a one lot subdivision,

2248
01:24:52,719 --> 01:24:54,560
1.471

2249
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,920
acres in size and uh anytime a

2250
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,480
subdivision is done or not not every

2251
01:25:00,480 --> 01:25:03,920
time but often when subdivisions um as

2252
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,480
part of the approval process is an an

2253
01:25:06,480 --> 01:25:08,239
improvement agreement is required for

2254
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:10,480
any improvements that are uh that take

2255
01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:12,480
place associated with that subdivision.

2256
01:25:12,480 --> 01:25:14,320
In this particular case, it's a small

2257
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:18,960
one. It's uh I think it's $15,400

2258
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:20,639
uh that they are required to put up as

2259
01:25:20,639 --> 01:25:23,600
security to ensure that the water line

2260
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,679
and fire hydrant are put in place in

2261
01:25:25,679 --> 01:25:28,320
association with this single lot to uh

2262
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:29,920
provide fire protection.

2263
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,120
>> So um then they will get that those uh

2264
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,280
utilities from Bear River City.

2265
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:37,360
>> Uh no, this is across the river from

2266
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:38,000
Bear River City.

2267
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:39,360
>> Oh, on the east side of the river.

2268
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:40,960
>> Yeah.

2269
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,600
So their water uh I'm trying to remember

2270
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:44,480
off the top of my head. But I think

2271
01:25:44,480 --> 01:25:46,159
their water is through

2272
01:25:46,159 --> 01:25:46,880
>> is it Elwood?

2273
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:48,639
>> West uh Acme.

2274
01:25:48,639 --> 01:25:50,159
>> Acme water.

2275
01:25:50,159 --> 01:25:51,440
>> So that's who provides water.

2276
01:25:51,440 --> 01:25:53,280
>> Acme does provide to bear river. Yeah.

2277
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,040
>> So it's an acme service area. That's

2278
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:56,960
who's providing their water. Um

2279
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:58,560
>> and they'll be on a septic tank then.

2280
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,639
>> They would be on a septic tank. Correct.

2281
01:26:00,639 --> 01:26:05,199
So once that um water line and hydrant

2282
01:26:05,199 --> 01:26:08,560
are installed, Acme would inspect it and

2283
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:10,480
uh if it meets their standards, they

2284
01:26:10,480 --> 01:26:11,760
would send us a letter saying we've

2285
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,320
inspected and accept this improvement uh

2286
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,960
and the infrastructure. At that point,

2287
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:20,400
we would uh instruct the escrow officer,

2288
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:21,840
in this case, I believe it's Heritage

2289
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:25,360
West Title, to release those funds back

2290
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:29,040
to the um property owner or developer.

2291
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:29,520
So,

2292
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,080
>> so I mean I've lived in this county all

2293
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,880
my life. How do you get there?

2294
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:36,159
>> Uh to this property.

2295
01:26:36,159 --> 01:26:36,560
>> Yeah.

2296
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,400
>> So, this is the one uh you've got the

2297
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:41,679
bridge that comes out of uh Fair River

2298
01:26:41,679 --> 01:26:44,239
City comes out on the kind of southeast

2299
01:26:44,239 --> 01:26:45,040
side. Okay.

2300
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,280
>> Um and it's just a little bit south of

2301
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:47,920
that bridge.

2302
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:49,440
>> Okay, that makes sense.

2303
01:26:49,440 --> 01:26:51,440
>> Kind of got that windy area after the

2304
01:26:51,440 --> 01:26:53,440
bridge. So, yeah, it's right there.

2305
01:26:53,440 --> 01:26:56,239
>> Okay, I do know where it is. Sorry.

2306
01:26:56,239 --> 01:26:58,880
>> Yeah, no problem.

2307
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:01,360
I'll make a motion that we approve Boxar

2308
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:02,880
County subdivision improvement agreement

2309
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:04,639
26-41.

2310
01:27:04,639 --> 01:27:05,760
>> I'll second it.

2311
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:08,239
>> We have a motion by Commissioner Perry

2312
01:27:08,239 --> 01:27:11,679
to approve uh River Vista Subdivision

2313
01:27:11,679 --> 01:27:15,120
Improvement Agreement number 26-41

2314
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,600
and a second by Commissioner Bingham. If

2315
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,280
there's no further discussion, all in

2316
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:20,320
favor say I.

2317
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:25,945
>> I.

2318
01:27:25,955 --> 01:27:28,390
[snorts]

2319
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,040
Okay, our second item tonight, uh, this

2320
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,280
relates to, uh, if you recall, the

2321
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,120
planning commission came before you in

2322
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:38,080
November of last year regarding zoning

2323
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,639
the unzoned areas of Boxiller County.

2324
01:27:40,639 --> 01:27:43,440
So, this has been a reoccurring theme or

2325
01:27:43,440 --> 01:27:46,719
reoccurring con concern from from the

2326
01:27:46,719 --> 01:27:48,560
planning commission. Um, and it's

2327
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:50,320
something that we've frequently dealt

2328
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,840
with as county staff as well. We we uh

2329
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:55,600
feel similar to the county or the

2330
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:59,440
planning commission that um zoning these

2331
01:27:59,440 --> 01:28:02,239
areas is consistent with the county's

2332
01:28:02,239 --> 01:28:05,440
general plan. Um that it is to the

2333
01:28:05,440 --> 01:28:08,080
benefit of the land owners and uh and

2334
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,080
community as well that it provides

2335
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:12,320
predictability for those land owners and

2336
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:16,390
communities uh throughout the county. Um

2337
01:28:16,390 --> 01:28:17,760
[clears throat] in fact the planning

2338
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:19,440
commission as part of their presentation

2339
01:28:19,440 --> 01:28:23,520
that they made uh was to clarify that uh

2340
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:27,199
without zoning it's difficult for them

2341
01:28:27,199 --> 01:28:29,679
to perform the duties that they were uh

2342
01:28:29,679 --> 01:28:34,080
appointed to do. Uh state code outlines

2343
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,000
what their what their appointed duties

2344
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:37,600
are and those are to prepare and

2345
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,440
recommend a general plan to the county

2346
01:28:39,440 --> 01:28:47,280
commission which they did in 2021. That general plan was adopted. Um and to

2347
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,239
quote that general plan directly

2348
01:28:50,239 --> 01:28:54,790
um

2349
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,840
the following uh let's see our goals and

2350
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,000
strategies that should be undertaken.

2351
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,000
Create an agricultural heritage area

2352
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:03,920
that supports ongoing farming and

2353
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:07,199
ranching and zone unzoned areas with a

2354
01:29:07,199 --> 01:29:09,040
flexible agricultural zone to help

2355
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:11,040
reinforce the agricultural heritage

2356
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:17,920
area. Um so with with those uh things in

2357
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:22,000
mind um and we've seen a lot of often

2358
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,280
what happens is people don't

2359
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,360
most residents don't realize if they're

2360
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,840
in an unzoned area. They assume that

2361
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:33,440
their area is zoned for agriculture

2362
01:29:33,440 --> 01:29:35,199
because that is what's taking place in

2363
01:29:35,199 --> 01:29:36,639
that area.

2364
01:29:36,639 --> 01:29:39,360
uh what's what the use is and what the

2365
01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:42,159
zoning is are two two different things.

2366
01:29:42,159 --> 01:29:46,159
And um so what then when a project is

2367
01:29:46,159 --> 01:29:48,000
proposed, whether that be some sort of a

2368
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:50,400
commercial project, uh whether that be

2369
01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:53,440
some sort of an industrial project, um

2370
01:29:53,440 --> 01:29:55,600
we had a phone call just a few months

2371
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,960
ago uh about a salvage yard. And you

2372
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,199
know these things the neighbors they

2373
01:30:01,199 --> 01:30:04,320
start to call in they're concerned they

2374
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:06,159
think oh I'm in an agricultural zone.

2375
01:30:06,159 --> 01:30:08,480
How can a salvage yard be allowed? And

2376
01:30:08,480 --> 01:30:12,000
it's you're actually in an unzoned area.

2377
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,639
Um and

2378
01:30:14,639 --> 01:30:17,520
salvage yard is allowed. Um just because

2379
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:19,199
the surrounding area is generally

2380
01:30:19,199 --> 01:30:20,800
agriculture doesn't mean that that is

2381
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:23,679
your zone. Um so we've seen it with all

2382
01:30:23,679 --> 01:30:27,679
sorts of things. Um and for that reason,

2383
01:30:27,679 --> 01:30:30,800
the planning commission again would like

2384
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:35,280
to uh see some support from the county

2385
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,880
commission to proceed with uh this

2386
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:43,520
zoning effort. Um and doing some solid

2387
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:46,080
outreach, education,

2388
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,719
um and working towards getting the

2389
01:30:48,719 --> 01:30:51,360
unzoned areas of the county into that

2390
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:56,159
flexible agriculture zone. uh in in the

2391
01:30:56,159 --> 01:30:57,920
next couple months.

2392
01:30:57,920 --> 01:30:59,920
>> So, do you need a motion for that?

2393
01:30:59,920 --> 01:31:02,639
>> I I think I propose that we we send it

2394
01:31:02,639 --> 01:31:04,080
back to the planning commission. I think

2395
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:05,520
if you guys can come back to us with a

2396
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:06,960
proposal

2397
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:08,560
>> um that would be the ideal situation

2398
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:10,239
because I think I really appreciate I do

2399
01:31:10,239 --> 01:31:11,600
recall the conversation they had with

2400
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:13,600
us. Could we direct you to just take

2401
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:15,199
this back to the planning commission and

2402
01:31:15,199 --> 01:31:16,560
come up with a proposal that you can

2403
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:17,840
bring back to the commission that we can

2404
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:18,400
support?

2405
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:19,760
>> Yeah, I don't think in motion is

2406
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:21,760
necessary, but direction's fantastic.

2407
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:23,440
then we as staff can move forward with

2408
01:31:23,440 --> 01:31:25,760
that with the planning commission and bring that

2409
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:26,800
>> Yeah, if you guys can move forward and

2410
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:28,719
then like I said, we want we want our

2411
01:31:28,719 --> 01:31:30,480
planning commission to feel like they're

2412
01:31:30,480 --> 01:31:32,400
being heard and so I think that if they

2413
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:33,440
could come back with some sort of

2414
01:31:33,440 --> 01:31:35,360
proposal that would be beneficial to us.

2415
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:36,560
>> Fantastic.

2416
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:37,520
>> Thank you. Thanks, Scott.

2417
01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:38,400
>> Thanks, Scott. Appreciate it.

2418
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:41,120
>> Appreciate it.

2419
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:43,040
>> Carson, you're going to come and visit

2420
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:46,560
with us about ordinance 665 prohibiting

2421
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,520
the use of bicycles on the landfill

2422
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:52,639
road? Yes sir. Carson Riser Walker

2423
01:31:52,639 --> 01:31:56,080
County Landfill. Uh this ordinance

2424
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:58,080
would designate the landfill road as a

2425
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:00,480
controlled access road and in doing so

2426
01:32:00,480 --> 01:32:02,320
would prohibit bicycles on that road.

2427
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:04,880
And the reason for doing that is uh in

2428
01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:06,719
the summertime we get a sub a

2429
01:32:06,719 --> 01:32:08,800
substantial amount of people on bicycles

2430
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:10,480
coming up and down that road. And we

2431
01:32:10,480 --> 01:32:13,280
have cross traffic all both directions

2432
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:15,120
with big trucks, large trucks and

2433
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:17,760
trailers with very few spots with an

2434
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:19,760
actual shoulder. and it's just creating

2435
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,639
a safety hazard. And also at times I've

2436
01:32:22,639 --> 01:32:24,239
gone out there after hours and caught

2437
01:32:24,239 --> 01:32:25,520
people that will park at the bottom of

2438
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:28,080
the hill and throw their bike up over

2439
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:29,879
the fence, go over the fence and then

2440
01:32:29,879 --> 01:32:32,320
[laughter] bike up and down that and

2441
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:34,239
>> just leave their bike on the inside till

2442
01:32:34,239 --> 01:32:35,360
the next day.

2443
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:38,400
>> That is an option. [laughter]

2444
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:39,760
So what this would do would just

2445
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,239
prohibit bicycles there. Um I brought

2446
01:32:42,239 --> 01:32:43,920
this I don't know Glenn wrote this up if

2447
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:45,440
you guys have had a chance to look it

2448
01:32:45,440 --> 01:32:47,440
over, but it does make bicycles as the

2449
01:32:47,440 --> 01:32:49,040
state does. So you're talking about

2450
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:52,880
above the gate or the whole road out to

2451
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:54,480
>> That's a good question. Um right there

2452
01:32:54,480 --> 01:32:57,040
where the bottom gate is. So is 6800

2453
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:59,040
north turns and goes up the hill. It

2454
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:00,480
would just be from that

2455
01:33:00,480 --> 01:33:02,880
>> control access point where the bottom

2456
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:04,159
gate is from that point.

2457
01:33:04,159 --> 01:33:06,239
>> Shut the gate. It would be hor there and

2458
01:33:06,239 --> 01:33:07,520
crashes. Now you can't you know we got

2459
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:09,199
to get you guys out so we can get an EMS

2460
01:33:09,199 --> 01:33:11,360
up there. There's all kinds of that. So

2461
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:13,440
yeah,

2462
01:33:13,440 --> 01:33:14,719
>> I'll make a motion that we pass

2463
01:33:14,719 --> 01:33:18,159
ordinance 665 as presented. So, I'll

2464
01:33:18,159 --> 01:33:19,120
second it.

2465
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:21,520
>> We have a motion by Commissioner Perry

2466
01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:24,000
to approve ordinance number 665

2467
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,159
prohibiting the use of bicycles on the

2468
01:33:26,159 --> 01:33:28,159
landfill road and a second by

2469
01:33:28,159 --> 01:33:30,080
Commissioner Bingham. If there's no

2470
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:32,400
further discussion, all in favor say I.

2471
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:32,719
>> I.

2472
01:33:32,719 --> 01:33:34,560
And are you guys going to put the

2473
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:35,760
sign up or is Darren going to put the

2474
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:37,120
sign up that tells them that it's

2475
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:37,840
prohibited there?

2476
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:38,960
>> Put some signs there for sure.

2477
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:39,520
>> Somehow

2478
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:41,520
>> we'll get together on that.

2479
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:42,880
>> I just know that it needs to be signed.

2480
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:44,159
We can't just pass it, but we need to

2481
01:33:44,159 --> 01:33:45,280
put make sure we got signage there.

2482
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:46,239
>> Sure. We'll make sure there's

2483
01:33:46,239 --> 01:33:49,199
>> Thank you. Thanks, Carson.

2484
01:33:49,199 --> 01:33:52,400
>> All right, weed department. Wyatt, how

2485
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:53,360
are you doing?

2486
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:54,320
>> Good. How are you guys?

2487
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:55,920
>> Good. You're going to talk to us about

2488
01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:59,440
approved Todd Gibbs appointment the

2489
01:33:59,440 --> 01:34:02,239
appointment to the county weed board.

2490
01:34:02,239 --> 01:34:07,440
>> Uh yes, sir. So, um the

2491
01:34:07,440 --> 01:34:09,280
Boxiller County Noxious Weed Control

2492
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:14,400
Board, uh always has five members. they

2493
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:18,159
s uh plus a representative from amongst

2494
01:34:18,159 --> 01:34:19,120
you three.

2495
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:20,800
>> Sorry, I missed the last couple minutes.

2496
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,040
>> Oh, it's okay. [laughter] Not much has

2497
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:26,960
happened besides us, but um and they

2498
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,600
serve four-year terms and they also have

2499
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:31,679
a chairman from amongst those five that

2500
01:34:31,679 --> 01:34:34,320
serves a um a two-year two-year term.

2501
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:36,800
So, at our second quarter meeting, our

2502
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:40,400
chairman uh Max Huggins, his term of

2503
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:44,159
service came to fruition. And so, um,

2504
01:34:44,159 --> 01:34:48,880
they needed to, um, let him go and they

2505
01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:53,360
voted, uh, Ryan Adams from Honeyville as

2506
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:57,040
the, uh, new chairman. And so, in doing

2507
01:34:57,040 --> 01:35:00,880
that, they needed to replace, uh, Ryan

2508
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:04,159
um, and fill fill that vacancy. So after

2509
01:35:04,159 --> 01:35:07,360
discussing a couple names, a couple

2510
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:09,360
candidates of people throughout the

2511
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:14,320
county, they voted on having Todd Gibbs

2512
01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:18,000
be their uh suggestion to you

2513
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:21,280
commissioners to be appointed to fill

2514
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,760
that vacancy. So Todd wasn't able to

2515
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:27,360
make it tonight, but um he uh just a

2516
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,080
little history of him, he lives in the

2517
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:34,080
Portage area. Uh he runs farm ground up

2518
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:38,719
there. He also he retired from UD do. He

2519
01:35:38,719 --> 01:35:41,120
was the Riverside shed manager and so he

2520
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:43,199
has a lot of uh noxious sweet experience

2521
01:35:43,199 --> 01:35:44,880
from that. I think that's why they kind

2522
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:46,880
of chose him just all that together. So

2523
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,080
anyways, um so I can answer any

2524
01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:52,880
questions about Todd or or anything

2525
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:54,800
else. And other than that, yeah, the

2526
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:57,679
board's just request or

2527
01:35:57,679 --> 01:35:58,880
>> he's not here, but he's willing to do

2528
01:35:58,880 --> 01:35:59,280
it, right?

2529
01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:00,880
>> Yep. He's willing to I've talked to him.

2530
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:02,560
before we make the most.

2531
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,320
>> Yes, I I've talked to him multiple

2532
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:08,239
times. Actually, it took me a minute to get a hold of him. That's why I

2533
01:36:08,239 --> 01:36:09,600
haven't been here before because we

2534
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:11,040
actually already had our third quarter

2535
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:13,440
meeting. But, um, yes, he is very

2536
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:15,840
willing and and able to do that. So,

2537
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:17,440
>> I think Todd's a good choice. So, I'd

2538
01:36:17,440 --> 01:36:20,000
make a motion we have appoint Todd Gibbs

2539
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:21,679
to be on the county weed board.

2540
01:36:21,679 --> 01:36:22,719
>> I'll second it.

2541
01:36:22,719 --> 01:36:24,480
>> We have a motion by Commissioner Perry

2542
01:36:24,480 --> 01:36:27,440
to appoint Todd Gibbs uh to the county

2543
01:36:27,440 --> 01:36:29,280
weed board and a second by Commissioner

2544
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:32,159
Bingham. All in favor say I.

2545
01:36:32,159 --> 01:36:33,120
>> I.

2546
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:34,000
>> Thanks.

2547
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:35,280
>> Thank you. I'll let them know.

2548
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:36,000
>> Have a good day.

2549
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,360
>> Thank you. You too,

2550
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:43,110
>> Janica.

2551
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:45,679
» All right. Several human resource policy

2552
01:36:45,679 --> 01:36:47,119
updates.

2553
01:36:47,119 --> 01:36:49,440
>> It won't be that bad.

2554
01:36:49,440 --> 01:36:52,719
>> Um, the first one is to change the

2555
01:36:52,719 --> 01:36:54,800
volunteer policy.

2556
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,600
We have created a volunteer policy that

2557
01:36:57,600 --> 01:36:59,679
stands on its own. So, I need you to

2558
01:36:59,679 --> 01:37:02,560
amend section two to remove 2.7. That's

2559
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:05,440
the volunteer section. And then approve

2560
01:37:05,440 --> 01:37:07,760
policy 29.

2561
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:09,760
That's the new volunteer policy. In that

2562
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:13,440
policy, some changes that it has um we

2563
01:37:13,440 --> 01:37:15,119
now only have to approve the volunteers

2564
01:37:15,119 --> 01:37:17,600
every fourth year. So, that would say

2565
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:19,280
they sign up one year and it's good for

2566
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:21,840
two subsequent years and then the fourth

2567
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:23,360
year that starts over. I know that's

2568
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:25,920
been an issue in our fire departments.

2569
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:28,320
Um so, we're looking to resolve that.

2570
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:29,040
And then it

2571
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:30,400
>> apply also to the fair.

2572
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:30,800
>> Yeah.

2573
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:31,600
>> Oh, good. Yeah.

2574
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:33,679
>> Yep. All volunteers. So, it'll be a lot

2575
01:37:33,679 --> 01:37:34,239
better.

2576
01:37:34,239 --> 01:37:34,719
>> Yes.

2577
01:37:34,719 --> 01:37:38,080
>> From their standpoint. Um, it updates

2578
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:40,560
how we're doing things. It allows like

2579
01:37:40,560 --> 01:37:42,080
after this commission meeting, you don't

2580
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:43,520
have a commission meeting again before

2581
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:45,280
the fair. We still don't have all the

2582
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:47,280
volunteers signed up. It allows me and

2583
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,199
the commission chair to sign off on

2584
01:37:49,199 --> 01:37:51,679
those and then we'll ratify them at the

2585
01:37:51,679 --> 01:37:53,920
following commission meeting

2586
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:55,600
um to make sure that they're covered if

2587
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:59,360
there's anything that happens. So, just

2588
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:01,360
helps with the timeline on that. And

2589
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:03,199
then the last policy that I would ask

2590
01:38:03,199 --> 01:38:06,239
you to approve is in our road

2591
01:38:06,239 --> 01:38:07,760
department, we have several on call

2592
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:09,280
policies. We have an on call pool. We

2593
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:12,080
have snow removal. We do have a need for

2594
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:15,040
a wildfire response on call pay for our

2595
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:16,960
road department.

2596
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,719
Um they're the ones that

2597
01:38:20,719 --> 01:38:22,719
stop your like they build your fire

2598
01:38:22,719 --> 01:38:25,840
lines um and help the fire department.

2599
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:27,920
So, we do have a need for them to be

2600
01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,320
called out and be available

2601
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:33,840
for the summer months. Um, that specific

2602
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:36,400
policy does rely on the state fire

2603
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:40,239
marshall's office to give us the dates

2604
01:38:40,239 --> 01:38:42,960
of what they expect fire season to be.

2605
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,040
So, it's typically June through like

2606
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:48,639
October 1st. Um, if he determines that

2607
01:38:48,639 --> 01:38:50,480
it's a different set of dates, like

2608
01:38:50,480 --> 01:38:51,920
we're running early, we're going to run

2609
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:53,360
late, then we need to be able to

2610
01:38:53,360 --> 01:38:55,760
accommodate that. So, we'll run off of

2611
01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:58,560
his dates and if we need to, we can

2612
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:00,480
adjust. But that's kind of what we're

2613
01:39:00,480 --> 01:39:01,679
looking at.

2614
01:39:01,679 --> 01:39:02,400
>> Okay.

2615
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:04,239
>> So, those are the three policy changes

2616
01:39:04,239 --> 01:39:08,790
that I would ask you to approve tonight.

2617
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:11,600
» I need a motion.

2618
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:13,600
>> I'll make a motion that we approve the

2619
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,840
policy changes as has been explained to

2620
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:16,960
us.

2621
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:18,960
>> I'll second it.

2622
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:20,880
We have an uh we have a motion by

2623
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,560
Commissioner Perry to approve um the

2624
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:28,480
ordinance changes as presented um by

2625
01:39:28,480 --> 01:39:30,639
Janica and a second by Commissioner

2626
01:39:30,639 --> 01:39:32,960
Bingham. All in favor say I.

2627
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:33,280
>> I.

2628
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,280
Motion passes. Thank you.

2629
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:37,920
>> Here are your PAs. A little bit early.

2630
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:44,229
Sorry, one item early.

2631
01:39:44,239 --> 01:39:46,320
» Okay, we're to our public comment period

2632
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:48,080
of our meeting.

2633
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:50,400
Those wishing to make a public comment

01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:52,880

outlined in the county commission rules

2637
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:58,080
and procedures.

2638
01:39:58,080 --> 01:39:59,840
Speakers will have one three minute

2639
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:01,840
opportunity to speak regardless of the

2640
01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:03,440
numbers of items they wish to address.

2641
01:40:03,440 --> 01:40:06,400
Speakers shall address their comments to

2642
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:08,880
the county commission only. This is a

2643
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:10,560
time to be heard. There will not be a

2644
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:12,000
back and forth dialogue with the

2645
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,520
commissioners. Speakers may file

2646
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:17,520
uh their remarks or supporting

2647
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:19,679
information with the county clerk. The

01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,280
available on the available to the county

2650
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:26,560
commission. And our first uh public

2651
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:28,880
comment period or comment person is

2652
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:43,189
Deanna Hardy.

2653
01:40:43,199 --> 01:40:46,560
Okay. Diana Hardy Bigham. The Boxilla

2654
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,480
Committee of Liberty reminds the Boxella

2655
01:40:48,480 --> 01:40:50,000
County Commissioners that when we

2656
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:51,760
separated from our former mother

2657
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:54,239
country, Great Britain, and gained our

2658
01:40:54,239 --> 01:40:57,360
independence 250 years ago, there were

2659
01:40:57,360 --> 01:40:59,600
running bets on how long our country

2660
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:03,119
would last. We have lasted 250 years,

2661
01:41:03,119 --> 01:41:05,119
but our Constitution is hanging by a

2662
01:41:05,119 --> 01:41:07,520
thread because our representatives have

2663
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:09,954
failed to keep their oath of office. The

2664
01:41:09,954 --> 01:41:11,679
[snorts] constitution is to restrain

2665
01:41:11,679 --> 01:41:14,880
government, not the people. Sadly, the

2666
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:17,040
government is restraining the people and

2667
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:18,960
not itself.

2668
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:21,280
Remember the states were created first

2669
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,040
and then the states created the federal

2670
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:25,840
government only delegating a few and

2671
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,639
defined powers. James Madison defined

2672
01:41:28,639 --> 01:41:31,760
them as war, peace, negotiation, and

2673
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,639
foreign commerce primarily external

2674
01:41:34,639 --> 01:41:36,960
things. Our founders were focused on

2675
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,360
liberty and they said that liberty must

2676
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:42,400
be supported at all hazards. As you go

2677
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,719
through history, you can see who usurp

2678
01:41:44,719 --> 01:41:47,600
power. Here are a few examples.

2679
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:49,520
President Franklin D. Roosevelt brought

2680
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,920
in the retirement program. Social

2681
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:54,159
Security will eventually end being

2682
01:41:54,159 --> 01:41:56,639
bankrupt. President Jimmy Carter brought

2683
01:41:56,639 --> 01:41:58,960
in the Department of Education.

2684
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:02,080
President Obama brought in healthcare.

2685
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:04,320
There are many more usurpations of power

2686
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,800
throughout our history. We must go back

2687
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:08,960
to our founding father's own words.

2688
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,679
Quote, the meeting of the minds. Have

2689
01:42:11,679 --> 01:42:14,080
you heard of the word hermeneutics?

2690
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:16,159
is the fine art of finding

2691
01:42:16,159 --> 01:42:18,560
the meaning of the author's words and

2692
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:20,800
phrases and then explaining it to

2693
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,760
others. Document interpretation.

2694
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:25,760
You cannot take the words alone on the

2695
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,159
paper to translate their meaning. You

2696
01:42:28,159 --> 01:42:30,080
not only have to read the words but you

2697
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,239
have to know why they were written, the

2698
01:42:32,239 --> 01:42:33,920
culture and the history in which they

2699
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:37,199
were written to the full understanding.

2700
01:42:37,199 --> 01:42:39,760
George Washington said, "If to please

2701
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:42,159
the people we offer what we ourselves

2702
01:42:42,159 --> 01:42:45,119
disapprove, how can we afterwards defend

2703
01:42:45,119 --> 01:42:48,000
our work? Let us raise a standard to

2704
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:50,960
which the wise and honest can repair.

2705
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:53,840
The rest is in the hands of God. Our

2706
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:55,760
republic needs repairing so that we can

2707
01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:57,920
keep it, that we may continue to have

2708
01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:00,560
liberty. He further stated, "The

2709
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:03,040
Constitution is the guide which I will

2710
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:05,679
never abandon. Truth will ultimately

2711
01:43:05,679 --> 01:43:07,920
prevail where there is pains to bring it

2712
01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:10,560
to light, guard against the impostures

2713
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:13,280
of pretended patriotism. The sole

2714
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:14,880
function of government is to protect

2715
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:17,040
life, liberty, and property. And

2716
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:19,119
anything more than this is usurpation

2717
01:43:19,119 --> 01:43:21,520
and oppression. We pray the Lord will

2718
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:24,800
save our republic. if it is his will.

2719
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:26,320
Thank you.

2720
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:36,310
>> Thank you, Don Pool.

2721
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:38,719
» Um, thanks for taking the time. I'm here

2722
01:43:38,719 --> 01:43:40,800
to talk to you about that contract that

2723
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:43,920
dissolved with Bay River Mental Health.

2724
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:45,679
When my attorneys and I saw that, we

2725
01:43:45,679 --> 01:43:46,800
thought maybe you all came to your

2726
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:48,719
senses and decided to take a close look

2727
01:43:48,719 --> 01:43:51,440
at addiction in real time. Bay River

2728
01:43:51,440 --> 01:43:52,960
doesn't have any sober livingings. I

2729
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:56,960
have 22 beds. I'm only uh here because I

2730
01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:58,320
think you all are going to be giving a

2731
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:00,000
new contract to Bay River and I think

2732
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:00,960
that contract is probably going to

2733
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:03,360
include substance use disorder. Up until

2734
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:05,199
recently, Bay River wasn't qualified or

2735
01:44:05,199 --> 01:44:08,080
licensed to do substance use disorder

2736
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:10,000
and they were doing so illegally as per

2737
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:11,920
the ASA. I tried to meet with you all. I

2738
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:13,360
can only assume it's this attorney here

2739
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:14,800
that advised you not to talk to me. I'm

2740
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:16,800
here to talk to you again. I still want

2741
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:19,199
to talk to somebody in this county about

2742
01:44:19,199 --> 01:44:20,719
what's happening in this county in

2743
01:44:20,719 --> 01:44:24,000
reference to Bay River

2744
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,000
and their inability to serve this county

2745
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:29,840
and our constituents together. So, if

2746
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:31,199
what I think is going to happen is going

2747
01:44:31,199 --> 01:44:33,199
to happen and you intend to issue a new

2748
01:44:33,199 --> 01:44:36,800
contract, I want Beacon Recovery, who is

2749
01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:38,960
more than qualified to handle all mental

2750
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:40,639
health and substance use disorder

2751
01:44:40,639 --> 01:44:43,199
patients in this county. Beacon Recovery

2752
01:44:43,199 --> 01:44:44,880
leads the nation. We are number one in

2753
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:47,440
recidivism. We have a 37% recidivism

2754
01:44:47,440 --> 01:44:49,440
rate that I can prove. Mr. Perry, you

2755
01:44:49,440 --> 01:44:51,199
asked for those that those numbers and I

2756
01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:52,639
gave those to you, but nobody from your

2757
01:44:52,639 --> 01:44:54,159
office or any of the offices, including

2758
01:44:54,159 --> 01:44:56,239
this attorney, contacted me to say,

2759
01:44:56,239 --> 01:44:59,280
"Hey, do you really have a 63% success

2760
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,199
rate?" If that's the case, and I can

2761
01:45:01,199 --> 01:45:03,440
prove it, the numbers that I can save

2762
01:45:03,440 --> 01:45:05,040
monetarily to this county are

2763
01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:06,719
staggering. Not to mention the human

2764
01:45:06,719 --> 01:45:08,880
lives that can be saved and the families

2765
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,280
that won't be decimated. I can prove my

2766
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:13,600
numbers. Can Bear River Does Bear River

2767
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:15,199
know what their recidivism rate is? I

2768
01:45:15,199 --> 01:45:16,719
know what mine is and I can prove it.

2769
01:45:16,719 --> 01:45:18,320
And I keep waiting for somebody to say,

2770
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:20,239
"Tony, we don't believe you. We don't

2771
01:45:20,239 --> 01:45:22,880
believe that Beacon Recovery has a 63%

2772
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:24,239
success rate with the people that are

2773
01:45:24,239 --> 01:45:26,560
graduating their program." And yet, as

2774
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:29,760
many times as I asked county officials

2775
01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:31,760
to question me, say, "Do you really have

2776
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:34,159
those numbers? Do you really have a 63%

2777
01:45:34,159 --> 01:45:36,880
success rate?" Nobody's asking me.

2778
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:38,880
Instead, they're forcing people to go to

2779
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:40,800
Bear River mental health that is not

2780
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:42,800
equipped to treat this disease that is

2781
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:44,800
decimating lives and families. I am

2782
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:46,639
begging this commission to consider

2783
01:45:46,639 --> 01:45:48,639
taking a serious look at what Beacon

2784
01:45:48,639 --> 01:45:51,360
Recovery can do for this county and our

2785
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:52,880
constituents. These are human beings

2786
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:54,239
that deserve better than what they're

2787
01:45:54,239 --> 01:45:56,960
getting. Please ask me to prove my

2788
01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:00,800
numbers of a 63% success rate. Thank

2789
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:02,239
you.

2790
01:46:02,239 --> 01:46:11,750
>> Thank you, Cassie. pool.

2791
01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:13,440
» Would she be able to go ahead? She has a

2792
01:46:13,440 --> 01:46:14,560
meeting.

2793
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:15,119
>> Pardon me.

2794
01:46:15,119 --> 01:46:16,719
>> Would she be able to go ahead? She has a

2795
01:46:16,719 --> 01:46:18,320
meeting at

2796
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:19,119
>> Sure.

2797
01:46:19,119 --> 01:46:19,600
>> Thank you.

2798
01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:27,030
>> You betcha.

2799
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:31,040
So, I am Jenny Lynn McKinnon and I am a

2800
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:33,199
nurse and a therapist, hypnotherapist

2801
01:46:33,199 --> 01:46:37,119
with Beacon. And I am here to just

2802
01:46:37,119 --> 01:46:39,920
remind you that as we move forward with

2803
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:43,440
Beerver Behavioral Health, the rising

2804
01:46:43,440 --> 01:46:46,719
tide raises all shits. And what I've

2805
01:46:46,719 --> 01:46:49,360
seen is that there is a space, there is

2806
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:52,080
place in this community and we need Bay

2807
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,639
River Behavioral Health. I also see that

2808
01:46:54,639 --> 01:46:57,440
they are very overloaded. We have people

2809
01:46:57,440 --> 01:46:59,360
that come out of the prison are supposed

2810
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:00,960
to go to they get sent to Bear River

2811
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:02,639
mental health or bear river behavioral

2812
01:47:02,639 --> 01:47:04,239
health and they're told you can come

2813
01:47:04,239 --> 01:47:06,480
back in 30 days and get treatment. By

2814
01:47:06,480 --> 01:47:08,880
then they've relapsed and this has just

2815
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:11,280
happened just recently in the last week

2816
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:17,199
with a personal friend. they there's problems, there's challenges

2817
01:47:17,199 --> 01:47:20,880
there and we're asking uh from Beacon

2818
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:23,520
Recovery to have a seat at the table in

2819
01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:26,159
negotiating with the contract so we can

2820
01:47:26,159 --> 01:47:30,239
both coexist and raise the level of

2821
01:47:30,239 --> 01:47:33,440
recovery in Brigham City. Thank you very

2822
01:47:33,440 --> 01:47:34,639
much for your time.

2823
01:47:34,639 --> 01:47:41,750
>> Thank you.

2824
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:47,109
» All right, Cassie.

2825
01:47:47,119 --> 01:47:50,000
Okay, thank you for letting her do that.

2826
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,159
Okay, commissioners, as you know, I'm

2827
01:47:52,159 --> 01:47:55,040
Casey Pool. Um, I'm here today because

2828
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,360
our community deserves answers about the

2829
01:47:57,360 --> 01:47:59,760
single source Medicaid behavioral health

2830
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:02,320
and substance use treatment decision.

2831
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:04,080
Providers and patients were led to

2832
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:05,760
believe that Medicaid patients were

2833
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:07,520
required to transfer their treatment to

2834
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:11,119
Bear River Behavioral Health. And if

2835
01:48:11,119 --> 01:48:13,119
that was not actually mandatory, I want

2836
01:48:13,119 --> 01:48:15,040
to know how that information was

2837
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:17,520
communicated and who was responsible for

2838
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:19,520
correcting it because we were all led to

2839
01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:21,520
believe that all Medicaid patients were

2840
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:26,400
mandated to go there. Um, sorry.

2841
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:27,840
Treatment centers were giving

2842
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:30,320
approximately 19 days notice as well as

2843
01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:32,000
the patients before the change took

2844
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:34,560
effect. 19 days to make decisions

2845
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:36,800
involving people fighting addiction,

2846
01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:38,480
trying to stay sober, keeping their

2847
01:48:38,480 --> 01:48:40,080
housing, staying out of jail, and

2848
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:43,679
rebuilding their lives. They have um we

2849
01:48:43,679 --> 01:48:45,360
have already seen consequences from

2850
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:47,600
this. I personally know one patient who

2851
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:49,520
relapsed during this disruption, and

2852
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:52,159
that would be my own child.

2853
01:48:52,159 --> 01:48:55,040
Um Tony at Beacon Recovery has continued

2854
01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:56,639
treating some of the Medicaid patients

2855
01:48:56,639 --> 01:48:59,119
for completely free because they did not

2856
01:48:59,119 --> 01:49:00,639
want to leave the program where they

2857
01:49:00,639 --> 01:49:02,880
were stable. Many of these patients have

2858
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:04,400
already been through the Bay River

2859
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:06,560
system, some multiple times, and they

2860
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:08,239
chose Beacon because they needed

2861
01:49:08,239 --> 01:49:09,840
something different. They needed a

2862
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:11,920
different approach. And that should tell

2863
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:14,320
us something. Beacon also has three

2864
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:16,960
sober livingings, as you may know, in a

2865
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,760
community with extremely limited sober

2866
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:22,400
living resources. This is a necessity.

2867
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:24,880
We need this. We can't lose our sober

2868
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:28,159
livingings. Um,

2869
01:49:28,159 --> 01:49:30,639
sorry. So, I do have some important

2870
01:49:30,639 --> 01:49:32,639
questions. Why was a single source

2871
01:49:32,639 --> 01:49:35,360
arrangement chosen instead of um a

2872
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:37,040
competitive bidding process where

2873
01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:40,239
qualified local providers such as Beacon

2874
01:49:40,239 --> 01:49:42,239
um or Renaissance Ranch, for example,

2875
01:49:42,239 --> 01:49:44,560
could be considered? When did the county

2876
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,000
officials know that this was going to

2877
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:47,679
happen? And why weren't treatment

2878
01:49:47,679 --> 01:49:50,480
providers brought to the table sooner?

2879
01:49:50,480 --> 01:49:53,280
Like, why did we only get to know 19

2880
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:57,040
days before? And most importantly, um,

2881
01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:59,920
was Bear Rivers's capacity evaluated

2882
01:49:59,920 --> 01:50:02,000
before directing such large number of

2883
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:06,080
Medicaid patients into one system? Um,

2884
01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:07,840
if people were already struggling to get

2885
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:09,600
timely appointments, adding hundreds of

2886
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:12,239
patients doesn't solve an access

2887
01:50:12,239 --> 01:50:15,119
problem. It makes it worse. Um, we

2888
01:50:15,119 --> 01:50:16,880
should be asking why a valuable

2889
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:18,560
community resource like Beacon and all

2890
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:21,679
the other recovery um,

2891
01:50:21,679 --> 01:50:24,719
sorry guys, why all the other recovery

2892
01:50:24,719 --> 01:50:26,960
centers were not even considered? If our

2893
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,119
goal is reducing relapse, homelessness,

2894
01:50:29,119 --> 01:50:30,639
recidivism,

2895
01:50:30,639 --> 01:50:32,239
um, shouldn't we be using every

2896
01:50:32,239 --> 01:50:34,400
qualified resource available? Can't we

2897
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:37,440
work together as a community to to help

2898
01:50:37,440 --> 01:50:41,199
save these lives? Um because these

2899
01:50:41,199 --> 01:50:43,280
decisions aren't just about contracts or

2900
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:44,960
Medicaid dollars. They affect whether

2901
01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:46,800
someone stays in treatment, stays sober,

2902
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,840
stays housed, and stays out of jail. Our

2903
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:51,920
community deserves transparency about

2904
01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:54,480
how this happened and the people who and

2905
01:50:54,480 --> 01:50:56,159
the people's lives who are directly

2906
01:50:56,159 --> 01:50:59,360
affected deserve a voice in in what

2907
01:50:59,360 --> 01:51:01,360
happens next.

2908
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:03,840
Lastly, we were all led to believe that

2909
01:51:03,840 --> 01:51:05,520
only Medicaid pays up.

2910
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:07,360
>> Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Tyler.

2911
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:09,760
>> You bet.

2912
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:12,800
All right, Sydney.

2913
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:15,199
I'm gonna completely massacre your last

2914
01:51:15,199 --> 01:51:16,480
name, but

2915
01:51:16,480 --> 01:51:18,080
>> Miley.

2916
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:19,600
>> it's not that hard.

2917
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:21,840
>> It just spelled weird. [laughter] When I

2918
01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:23,280
got married, I asked my husband, "Am I

2919
01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:24,320
going to be telling people how to say

2920
01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:26,971
that forever?" And he said, "Yep."

2921
01:51:26,971 --> 01:51:29,270
[laughter]

2922
01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:34,149
» Okay.

2923
01:51:34,159 --> 01:51:36,480
My name is Sydney Forsin Miley and I sit

2924
01:51:36,480 --> 01:51:37,760
in front of you today as a concerned

2925
01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:39,679
citizen of Boxelder County. I'm sure

2926
01:51:39,679 --> 01:51:40,960
you've all heard the controversy

2927
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:42,800
revolving around the Flock AI powered

2928
01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:44,800
security cameras. I've recently become

2929
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:46,239
aware that there are already six of

2930
01:51:46,239 --> 01:51:47,760
these cameras in Bigham City. They are

2931
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:49,520
currently the only ones in Boxelder

2932
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:51,280
County. When I was out of town last

2933
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:53,199
week, there was only three. I wanted to

2934
01:51:53,199 --> 01:51:54,960
come speak to you all before smalltown

2935
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:56,800
America Tranquility is gone forever in

2936
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:59,280
Boxelder County. As a longtime resident,

2937
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:02,000
meaning my whole life, this makes me and

2938
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,239
many other citizens very uncomfortable.

2939
01:52:04,239 --> 01:52:05,440
There is one of these cameras on the

2940
01:52:05,440 --> 01:52:06,719
route I used to take to work. And the

2941
01:52:06,719 --> 01:52:08,800
key word there is used to. I add a time

2942
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:10,400
to my commute to take an alternate route

2943
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:12,000
in order to not be recorded by a

2944
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:14,080
privately owned AI camera where I don't

2945
01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:15,679
know what data it's taking, storing,

2946
01:52:15,679 --> 01:52:17,920
analyzing, or who can access it. The

2947
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:19,040
Fourth Amendment under the Bill of

2948
01:52:19,040 --> 01:52:20,719
Rights reads as follows. the right of

2949
01:52:20,719 --> 01:52:21,840
the people to be secure in their

2950
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:23,679
persons, houses, papers, and effects

2951
01:52:23,679 --> 01:52:25,119
against unreasonable searches and

2952
01:52:25,119 --> 01:52:26,960
seizures shall not be violated, and no

2953
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:28,560
warrant shall issue but upon probable

2954
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:30,480
cause by oath or affirmation, and

2955
01:52:30,480 --> 01:52:32,000
particularly describing the place to be

2956
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:33,599
searched and the persons or things to be

2957
01:52:33,599 --> 01:52:35,760
seized. It has become precedent under

2958
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,599
the fourth amendment that there is an in

2959
01:52:37,599 --> 01:52:40,320
fact an a lesser expectation of privacy

2960
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:41,760
while one is driving a vehicle on a

2961
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:43,280
public roadway. This was established in

2962
01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:44,960
Supreme Court case Carol versus United

2963
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:47,760
States in 1925. This isn't a new idea.

2964
01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:49,360
Its precedent set by a Supreme Court

2965
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:51,520
case that stands over a century later. A

2966
01:52:51,520 --> 01:52:53,199
lesser expectation of privacy while

2967
01:52:53,199 --> 01:52:54,800
driving is acceptable because you are in

2968
01:52:54,800 --> 01:52:56,239
fact generally in public while in your

2969
01:52:56,239 --> 01:52:58,800
vehicle. Lesser doesn't mean none.

2970
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,119
Something that has no precedent under

2971
01:53:01,119 --> 01:53:02,719
that diminished expectation of privacy

2972
01:53:02,719 --> 01:53:04,320
is being monitored by a system that can

2973
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:05,679
track your car from place to place

2974
01:53:05,679 --> 01:53:07,840
through aworked private database. I have

2975
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:09,280
researched the ins and outs of SCOTA's

2976
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:10,480
precedent surrounding privacy

2977
01:53:10,480 --> 01:53:12,239
expectations in vehicles. Most current

2978
01:53:12,239 --> 01:53:14,719
case law in regards to this is being

2979
01:53:14,719 --> 01:53:16,239
stopped and searched. There is not much

2980
01:53:16,239 --> 01:53:17,760
about being photographed or recorded

2981
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:19,840
inside one's personal vehicle. And there

2982
01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:22,239
is definitely no case law about AI

2983
01:53:22,239 --> 01:53:24,080
cameras analyzing every move of private

2984
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,000
citizens. What all that means is with

2985
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:27,599
these AI cameras, we are all in

2986
01:53:27,599 --> 01:53:30,239
uncharted territory. It has been stated

2987
01:53:30,239 --> 01:53:32,159
by their manufacturer that these cameras

2988
01:53:32,159 --> 01:53:33,840
are capable than more of automated

2989
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:36,880
license plate readers. They are being

2990
01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:39,199
put in place under the guise of safety

2991
01:53:39,199 --> 01:53:40,800
instead of what they really are, which

2992
01:53:40,800 --> 01:53:42,320
is mass surveillance. that includes

2993
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:44,639
facial recognition. A regular old

2994
01:53:44,639 --> 01:53:46,639
traffic camera on a pole does not zoom

2995
01:53:46,639 --> 01:53:48,800
in close, analyze activities inside the

2996
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:50,400
vehicle or faces, and compare them in a

2997
01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:52,639
database. They simply record, "We, as a

2998
01:53:52,639 --> 01:53:54,239
community, are being stalked by these

2999
01:53:54,239 --> 01:53:56,639
devices, and I recommend you review Utah

3000
01:53:56,639 --> 01:53:59,520
code 76-5-106.5

3001
01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:01,840
subsection A.

3002
01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:03,920
Until there are laws enacted on what

3003
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:05,760
data can and can't be collected and

3004
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:07,360
accessed by private companies such as

3005
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:09,280
Flock on citizens just minding their own

3006
01:54:09,280 --> 01:54:12,159
business, I humbly ask you to consider

3007
01:54:12,159 --> 01:54:13,920
banning them in Boxelder County or at

3008
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:16,159
least considering a moratorum until

3009
01:54:16,159 --> 01:54:18,320
there are more regulations. Many cities

3010
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:19,920
have already banned them. Many counties

3011
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:21,280
have paused their usage and are

3012
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:23,199
considering doing the same. Let us as

3013
01:54:23,199 --> 01:54:25,280
proud Boxhelder County residents, please

3014
01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:27,599
set an example to the rest of Utah and

3015
01:54:27,599 --> 01:54:29,599
join the trailblazing cities that have

3016
01:54:29,599 --> 01:54:31,119
already outlawed this dangerous,

3017
01:54:31,119 --> 01:54:33,440
invasive, and unregulated piece of tech.

3018
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:35,119
We're not a flock to be hurted. We are

3019
01:54:35,119 --> 01:54:36,639
Americans who stand on freedom. Thank

3020
01:54:36,639 --> 01:54:38,080
you for your time.

3021
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:43,030
>> Thank you.

3022
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:45,280
» Okay,

3023
01:54:45,280 --> 01:54:48,159
we got the warrant register done. Uh

3024
01:54:48,159 --> 01:54:50,800
personal action vote, that's done. We

3025
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:52,239
need to move into a close session.

3026
01:54:52,239 --> 01:54:53,760
Commissioners,

3027
01:54:53,760 --> 01:54:55,840
>> I'll make a move motion that we move

3028
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:57,280
into close session.

3029
01:54:57,280 --> 01:54:58,000
>> Second it.

3030
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:00,000
>> Have a motion go into close session by

3031
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,000
Commissioner Bingham and a second by

3032
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:04,639
Commissioner Perry. All in favor say I.

3033
01:55:04,639 --> 01:55:24,550
>> I. We are now on close session.

3034
01:55:24,560 --> 01:55:31,189
Okay.

3035
01:55:31,199 --> 01:55:34,360
Thank you.
