1
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,040
810. We'll go ahead and call the meeting
to order.

2
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:20,319
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the

3
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:26,400
republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and

4
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,000
justice for all. Father, we come to you
again to do the business of the people

5
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,120
of Brown County. Father, give us a
measure of your wisdom so that we can

6
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:39,840
make good decisions that benefit the
most people possible. Bring you over the

7
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:44,319
in Jesus name. Amen.
Uh good morning everybody. Welcome to

8
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:48,160
the meeting. Um
we'll go ahead and start with county

9
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,760
personnel or public comment. Is there
any like to come up? Come on up.

10
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:59,040
» I'm gonna turn my
>> Sure. Um Ian Sheets resident. Uh a few

11
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:06,800
weeks ago I approached you guys about a
um request to provide the assessment by

12
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:12,239
evaluation by property class to all the
different taxing entities uh in the in

13
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:15,519
the county so that the different taxing
entities can make more informed

14
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,760
decisions about their mil levies and so
forth. Um this I know from personal

15
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:22,959
experience I'm not I'm coming as a
resident not as beha on behalf of the

16
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,120
school board but as a member of the
school board this is something that has

17
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:33,920
been requested from the appraisers's
office uh for multiple years it's been

18
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:40,400
provided with for a fee. Um in my
opinion it is something that in the name

19
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:45,200
of transparency and being informed as a
voting member of a taxing entity uh and

20
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,200
being accountable to the public. I think
it would be great if the county just set

21
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,280
a precedent that this is provided to the
various taxing entities because all of

22
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,920
the valuation comes through obviously
the Brown County Appraisers office. Um

23
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:02,720
after I last spoke with you, we
discussed it in the meeting. Uh Levi

24
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,319
Thompson, the board clerk, had then um
reached out to Markham's office and he

25
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:13,599
wanted $50 in order to do this. Now,
obviously the school can afford to pay

26
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:19,600
$50 as I would think any taxing entity
would do it. However, um I think that it

27
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:24,000
is first of all something that if it's
only $50, I'm assuming it's probably

28
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:28,240
about an hour hours work for in our case
the template should be built and for all

29
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,560
of these entities once the templates
built it's just a matter of printing it

30
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,440
with the updated information. Um, what I
would ask is while we're willing to do

31
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,960
it, if it's that's what it takes, that
the county commission set a precedent

32
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,919
that this is just something that is
provided to the city of Horton, city of

33
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,199
Haywa, the two school districts, the
cemetery districts, whoever they are,

34
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:54,960
whoever is responsible for setting mill
levies um so that those organizations,

35
00:04:53,040 --> 00:05:00,479
those bodies can make the most informed
decisions about the impact that it's

36
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,440
going to have on the taxpayer. So, uh, I
wasn't planning on coming this morning,

37
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:08,400
but I looked at the calendar. We're
having a budget meeting next Monday, and

38
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:12,320
I thought in order to give time, uh, to
put the wheels in motion, uh, to get

39
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,919
that printed out, I thought I would just
stop up here. So, so I'm a little more

40
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,520
cash than I would normally be, but
anyway, that's the uh, that is the long

41
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,759
and the short of it. So, I would ask for
your consideration.

42
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:27,680
» So, you're talking about the Excel
spreadsheet that has the percent change.

43
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,360
» Uh, yes. Yes. Yes.
>> By by property class. So there's the

44
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:37,280
residential, there's the A, there's the
commercial, etc. You showed me the

45
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:42,400
county's version of that last time uh
and and said this is something that you

46
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,440
guys always have. Um obviously the
>> the uh the scope of it is slightly

47
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:52,400
different between the different
organizations. So the USD415 has a

48
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:58,720
different um taxing body. Yeah. Then
then does this then does USD430 for

49
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,919
example versus the city of Iwa. So these
would be bespoke to the different

50
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:05,120
districts.
>> So they're going to be customized to

51
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,080
» correct.
>> Correct. In order to be relevant. Yeah.

52
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,840
» Customized
>> or the most precise I guess.

53
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,319
» But like you're saying once the
template's built then it's just imported

54
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:19,120
each time
>> I would think. So yeah, let's call

55
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:22,160
» Y. So for example, like the county is
very similar to the school district and

56
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,680
it's got a good portion of residential,
it's got a good portion of a it's got

57
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:29,360
all the commercial. Uh the city of
Haywapa would be very different because

58
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:34,400
there's not agricultural property,
right? And so the the well

59
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:37,840
» there could be there could be a a little
bit but not within the not within the

60
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:42,560
city is going to be mostly residential
and and commercial property. So the

61
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:46,319
balance and how that affects what that
net increase or decrease or so forth is

62
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,360
is going to be different. And that's why
it's important to have ones that are

63
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:56,400
actually precisely designed to match
what that um taxing constituency I'm

64
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,680
failing to get the word if that makes
sense.

65
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,680
» Taxing body.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

66
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:05,440
» School cities and that's need to go.
Well, I think that there's I would say

67
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:11,599
anybody who sets a mill levy. Yeah.
>> Uh and the only other one I can think of

68
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:15,680
is this the townships.
>> Um and then there's cemetery board,

69
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,360
» but that doesn't mean everybody's going
to request it.

70
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:20,880
» No. No.
>> They haven't been. So,

71
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:25,120
» no. Now, I would say that that you know,
you if you started with the big ones,

72
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,080
granted because we've requested it. I
don't think the city of high office has

73
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:33,039
ever requested one. I don't have no idea
about South Carolina. Um, if you started

74
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:38,319
there, I mean, we're going to request it
today regardless of whether there's a

75
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:41,360
$50 fee or not, but uh, once those
templates are built, you could continue

76
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,919
to add to the smaller and smaller ones
like the as time would allow. I would I

77
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,400
would like to think that over the course
between this year's budget season and

78
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:55,039
next year's budget season, probably all
of those could be created, but if you

79
00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:00,720
got the major the major taxing bodies,
that would probably be a great start. So

80
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,280
this is that that's it. Um uh I think
from from our end as far as the group

81
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:10,000
that I'm associated with, they'll make
the request regardless. Um but it's just

82
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:14,000
I think would be good government in
order to provide this to to the

83
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:16,639
different groups as just a matter of
precedent. Okay.

84
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:19,960
» All right. Thank you very much, guys.
Thanks. Ian

85
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,240
public or county personnel comment?
>> Yes.

86
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:33,680
» All right. Come on.
I was at the shop this morning and uh

87
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:39,519
the road superintendent stopped by. Uh
Vicki, do you recall the question?

88
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:43,760
Vicki, the conversation we had about
action had to have had his test done by

89
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:48,720
a certain date
and you told me that it couldn't be done

90
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:51,880
that way because it wasn't writing.
the phone.

91
00:08:52,959 --> 00:09:03,200
» So Jerry gave me a referral for that. He
wrote me up and he also wrote me up for

92
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:06,399
calling that call. We got to go into
session.

93
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:07,760
» Good. So how much time you need?
>> Five.

94
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,200
» Five.
>> Sure. Okay.

95
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,600
» Okay. I'll make a motion we go in
executive session with the commissioners

96
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:21,200
John Salen Road forman John Sen and
county clerk to discuss non-elected

97
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,760
personnel and duties performance.
>> Yeah. Five minutes.

98
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,360
» Is there a second?
>> I'll second it.

99
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,720
» Move and [clears throat] seconded. All
in favor say I.

100
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,560
» I.
>> I. Okay. Motion carried. 5 minutes.

101
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,959
Okay, we're [clears throat] out of
executive session. Back into regular. No

102
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:58,720
binding action taken. However, I will
call for an executive session with the

103
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:02,320
same people for the same reason for five
more minutes. Is there a second? I'll

104
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:08,839
second. Okay, move and seconded. All in
favor say I. I. I. Okay. Motion carried.

105
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,839
Five more minutes. 8:29.

106
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:27,360
All

107
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,679
right. Okay.
>> All right. We're back in regular session

108
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:38,480
out of executive. No binding action
taken.

109
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:42,640
» All right. Thank you for coming in.
>> Okay.

110
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:47,840
Back on schedule. The only thing we had
on here was minutes. Uh things change.

111
00:20:45,919 --> 00:20:54,159
Um let's just look at item number one
just for sake of completion. And it's

112
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:59,799
the minutes from July 31st meeting. Are
there additions, corrections, or

113
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,799
comments to the minutes as presented?

114
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,440
» I didn't have any questions.

115
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:12,000
» I don't either. Bill, did you have
anything?

116
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:15,320
» Yeah, we talked about that too at the
country club

117
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:22,720
around here something 30 about 30 foot
tube or something in it.

118
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:27,679
» Oh, it should Yeah, should be two 24 by
30. So, so I went down the this Can I

119
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,880
get off this a little bit? What about
the country code or what you want to

120
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,400
say? What the minutes?
>> Um, is it the minutes? You see a problem

121
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,320
there,
>> right? That's the only thing I saw on

122
00:21:35,679 --> 00:21:40,640
the minutes.
>> Yeah, let's go ahead and

123
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:47,559
» Okay.
>> It should be uh two 24 by 30s because

124
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,559
it's a 60 foot.

125
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,840
» Does that say anything else you saw in
the minutes?

126
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,200
» Okay. So, if there's no other
corrections or comments, is there a

127
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,200
motion to approve the minutes as
amended?

128
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:05,440
I'll move we or approve the minutes as
amended. Is there a second?

129
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:09,039
» Second.
>> Okay, it's been moved and seconded. Any

130
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:11,600
discussion? Not. All in favor say I.
>> I. I.

131
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,280
» Okay. Motion carry amends are approved.
Yeah.

132
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:20,240
» So, I was just drove down by the country
club and [clears throat]

133
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,559
I'm not sure no matter what size of the
tube you put in there and else you do

134
00:22:22,159 --> 00:22:29,200
something. I mean, looks like a rock
just runs down the driveway and dumps

135
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:33,360
right in in front of a tube. So, it's
always going to do that. And whether

136
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:37,280
it's an 18 inch tube or a 20, eventually
it's going to fill back up in there and

137
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,360
say do something else
>> possibly, Bill. But, um, Tammy called

138
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:46,240
the
ACS office to have them look at the the

139
00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:49,039
drainage. And so by going with the 24
inch tube, it's going to drain better

140
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,000
than it ever has.
>> Before if that makes sense. The tube

141
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:56,320
there is undersized.
>> Okay. But it goes downhill and it

142
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:59,280
flattens out
>> along the road. It's all flat. So

143
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,960
» are you talking about the water that
comes out of the country club?

144
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,039
» Yeah.
>> Towards the ditch, towards the county

145
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:05,840
ditch
>> and comes in on the south side.

146
00:23:05,340 --> 00:23:07,039
[clears throat]
>> Yeah.

147
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:10,159
» They went on it.
>> Correct. So it come down and then then

148
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:13,600
it uses the tube to head
>> right north.

149
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:17,360
» So it's coming down at a fast speed and
all that stuff down there, but then it's

150
00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:20,640
flat going along the road. So there's no
speed in the water going along there to

151
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:25,600
force it on through.
>> So the proper way to do that would be to

152
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:29,200
on we can't tell them what to do, but I
also know that the the person out there

153
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:33,120
doing their maintenance is willing to
come up with some ideas and that's what

154
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:36,880
they've been doing. So because of that,
the proper thing to do would be create a

155
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:40,799
soil on the driveway that would cause
the water to go to the north side of the

156
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,120
tube and not go through the tube without
any kind of a speed. Basically you're

157
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:46,320
saying,
>> right?

158
00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:48,960
» And and if that tube is truly level,
yes,

159
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,600
» if it's if it's got grade to it, it
will, but they're looking at that.

160
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,159
» Okay.
>> Yeah.

161
00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:55,120
» So So there's there's multiple problems
out there,

162
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,440
» right?
>> But but number one, the existing tube is

163
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:02,080
is und sized for the number of acres it
drains.

164
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,679
» Okay. So anyway,
>> I I understand what you're saying.

165
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,960
» Okay. Just so
>> the idea, and I appreciate you doing

166
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:13,039
that, the idea is on these is not to
just replace stuff, but to actually look

167
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:16,640
at what causes the problem and see if we
can come up with a solution so our guys

168
00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:20,880
don't always have to go out there and
try to keep tubes unplugged, then right

169
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,120
be better.
>> In my opinion, if it's doesn't don't

170
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:28,480
change upstream, it's going to just keep
doing that.

171
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,840
» Right. I understand. But I didn't really
I just happened to drive out there and I

172
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:37,200
thought well I look at it while I'm
going by and I didn't question what the

173
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:42,240
plan was.
>> You can do that.

174
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,880
Nobody's going to question you.
>> I appreciate that you do do that though.

175
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,919
I know.
>> So

176
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:51,039
» that's just my input to
>> Right.

177
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,640
» Are you in contact with people out
there?

178
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:58,799
» I will be. I we talked about this at
Friday's meeting. Okay. Right.

179
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:03,440
» And so I haven't contacted them over the
weekend. I didn't think it needed to be

180
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,840
Saturday or something. So I will contact
them this week.

181
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,200
» Yeah.
>> I thought probably hadn't. So I can put

182
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,360
my two cents in.
>> We appreciate.

183
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:20,400
» Hi.
>> The fans brothers just calling me. He

184
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:27,840
wanted to know if we could store
160 cubic yards of ple

185
00:25:23,919 --> 00:25:33,120
at our district one location
or I want the location for their project

186
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:37,120
that they have here in my book.
>> Are they are they the ones doing the

187
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,039
chip and seal for the city on Oregon
Street?

188
00:25:37,919 --> 00:25:43,840
» Yes.
>> Okay. So, this is good because you have

189
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:49,440
John here that that would affect most
>> and that's why I asked you. Okay.

190
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:54,200
» He
Adam said it would be about five truck.

191
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:58,279
Yeah.

192
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:05,000
» So we're are we talking like end dumps
or semi trucks or what are we talking?

193
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:14,480
» Okay.
>> John, does that affect you in a in a

194
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:22,000
negative fashion? Does it does it hurt
your operation? No, scrape scrape ground

195
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:27,600
clean so they can put that down
>> because that lot's kind of a it's almost

196
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:33,760
like a a 3/4 rock crushed rock. It's
like clean gravel in that lot. Correct.

197
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:36,760
» Is that the other lot or the lot using a
lot

198
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:48,960
» and that would be this month.
Well, I mean, unless you have a reason

199
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:52,960
you don't want to, I think it's great to
let contractors work with us because we

200
00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:55,960
may need them in the future to do
something.

201
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,000
» Yeah.

202
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:04,320
» No, it's fine with me.
[clears throat]

203
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,679
» All right.
>> All right. Don't leave me. I got a

204
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:12,400
question for you.
>> What's your question for? So on Friday

205
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:20,080
after I left here, I got a call and
there said there was a tree down on

206
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:25,440
Acorn Road north of 170th. So I think
somebody called evidently maybe called a

207
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,799
shop in Fairview and Jerry was over
there, but they didn't check answering

208
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:35,919
machine. So maybe the answering machine
needs to be changed. So it says to call

209
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:38,919
your number or some other number.
What?

210
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,880
The call would be forwarded to another
phone.

211
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:52,159
» Okay. Something something needs to be
done

212
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:54,880
cuz that tree was there I said at 4:30
in the morning when we went to work. So

213
00:27:53,440 --> 00:28:02,760
it was there sitting there all day
halfway across the road. So we need to

214
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:02,760
better communications there somehow.

215
00:28:03,679 --> 00:28:07,640
» What would you recommend Tammy?

216
00:28:07,679 --> 00:28:11,480
things that have

217
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:17,159
that be.
>> Who would do that?

218
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:24,399
» When you when you say us, you nick. Yes.
Okay. Do you mind doing that?

219
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,200
call.

220
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:40,320
» I was going to say, is it a is it one of
the same phones like right here where

221
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:43,559
you can go into and enter a message or
>> I think

222
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,520
maybe

223
00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:01,840
So, so would it be possible if Bill met
you over there

224
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,919
» because you have a key to the office to
get in there? Obviously,

225
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,240
» with me, would
>> Okay.

226
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,840
» The first office has
>> Okay. So, could Bill meet somebody over

227
00:29:10,399 --> 00:29:17,880
there at a certain time? And if you go
over there, obviously grab a county

228
00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:17,880
vehicle and run over there.

229
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,840
» I I don't know.
>> Okay. know that I need

230
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:24,880
» as long as you know where it's at and
how to get in. I'm just

231
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,399
» Yeah,
>> I I thought maybe he just change a

232
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:31,360
message on there to
>> to call this number.

233
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,080
» Yeah, I still have
>> Well, you're right. You'd have somebody

234
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,919
to do that, but
>> pretty simple.

235
00:29:35,679 --> 00:29:41,600
» Fair enough. So, you you'll do it then
and then if there's any problems, you'll

236
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,799
let us know.
>> Appreciate that.

237
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:50,399
» Thank you.
>> Okay. Anything else on your list?

238
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:54,799
Um,
not this one.

239
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:58,880
» Okay. So, you want to present that? Have
you seen this Mickey?

240
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:02,679
» No. No. I It's just another Bible
reading on square deal

241
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:10,799
signed it
the third Thursday of no third Saturday

242
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:15,600
of the month.
Okay.

243
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:20,320
third time they went from 11:00 a.m. to
1 p.m.

244
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:24,080
» Okay, this is just to reread what he
said. It's it's Is it a continuation of

245
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:27,360
what they've already been doing?
>> So, they did it for two weeks or

246
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:32,720
something. Then they decided they didn't
we did it every week was enough.

247
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:36,960
» Okay. So, we have a property use request
of the courthouse yard. They don't want

248
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,919
to go inside.
>> No, they don't want to go inside.

249
00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:44,640
» Okay. for Bible reading on the square
for the third Saturday of the month

250
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:50,559
11:00 a.m. to 100 p.m. And this is for
the August 15th, September 19th, October

251
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:56,720
17th, 20 which finishes the year
basically December 19th. So that's what

252
00:30:54,240 --> 00:31:00,279
we have here. Is there any questions or
comments on this?

253
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:07,440
Looks like it's filled out completely.
Does someone want to make a motion to

254
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,679
» I move we approve the request for bother
reading on.

255
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:13,120
» Okay. Is there a second?
>> Seconded. Okay. It's been moved and

256
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:15,039
seconded. Is there any discussion? If
not, all in favor say I.

257
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,559
» I.
>> I. I.

258
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,559
» Okay. Motion carried

259
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,240
26.

260
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,799
Okay. Any other business?

261
00:31:30,399 --> 00:31:38,600
» I did. Okay.
>> I did not watch the video. I will say

262
00:31:34,399 --> 00:31:38,600
that, but I read through everything.

263
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:47,760
» Um,
I am, but before we do that, Bill, or do

264
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:51,120
you guys have any comment on it or can
you

265
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,120
» are you familiar with this organization?
>> Yes.

266
00:31:51,600 --> 00:32:01,440
» Okay. That's why I was hoping you'd just
kind of give me a little background. So,

267
00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:05,360
so what they said they do, they kind of
look into what the federal government do

268
00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:11,200
or the state government and seeing
what's going to affect [clears throat]

269
00:32:07,679 --> 00:32:18,720
taxpayers or the land use part of it.
And uh so we joined a couple years ago

270
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:26,559
in the middle of the year and Lucas and
I made the funds for it.

271
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:29,279
» Okay. And so this this year they just
let us go on another year. I think we

272
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:36,799
probably joined in the middle of the
year so we year without any more cost.

273
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:42,640
But I think what she said I think it'd
be good if we could put what that video

274
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:46,600
was so people are watching could see it.
But I don't know how you do that.

275
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:50,399
» Let's say
conflict of interest.

276
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:55,519
» Okay.
>> Okay. That's fair. Anyway, I think it

277
00:32:53,440 --> 00:33:01,519
shows that what they're doing and it's
like it said trying to increase

278
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:07,039
our rights.
>> Do you have a copy of that ballot?

279
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:11,600
» It's on our
>> No, I haven't down that far. I'm sorry.

280
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:17,080
I just remembered the big copy.
>> Is it This is the same thing.

281
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,080
» Yeah, it's the same thing.

282
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:22,720
So, so the reason I was asking is I
trust your opinion on I mean you're

283
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,519
familiar with this organization and you
believe you trust this organization,

284
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:29,440
» right?
>> Yeah. So in the reason we got involved

285
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:34,399
with them had a lot to do with that
corridor the NR

286
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
what was the transmission line corridor
the five mile

287
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,679
» the grain belt
>> grain belt

288
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:43,600
» or the one that was going to be five
miles I forget the acronym now and but

289
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:47,200
they've done some work on on
oh like the lesser prairie chicken

290
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:51,039
things like that in western Kansas that
that makes a pretty good sense

291
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:52,640
» most of the counties are out more in the
west

292
00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:57,840
» right
>> yeah so I mean after I went through it I

293
00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:02,000
I saw no problem in voting to allow them
to excuse me to participate,

294
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,960
» right? Because it would was there a
cost?

295
00:34:03,679 --> 00:34:08,000
» No,
>> there's no cost involved with it.

296
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,520
» So, what I saw when I read through this,
too, is I mean, my personal feeling on

297
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:16,720
this, but I would not be for the
government being able to reclassify and

298
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:22,879
and doing anything that would give a
land owner less u control of his land.

299
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,720
And and the way I I see this is if it
was the pass, if the government was to

300
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:31,359
do this, they would have the it would
have more overreaching power.

301
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:36,000
» Am I saying that correct? I mean, by
reclassifying animals that are from

302
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:38,399
endangered, you
>> that's

303
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:41,440
» it's very similar to when they they uh
what's about a navigable body of water.

304
00:34:40,399 --> 00:34:44,639
Correct. When we went through that
correct at the And so this is very

305
00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:48,240
similar
>> which really affects any land owner that

306
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:54,800
has any kind of creek running through it
problem. So whenever the an agency of

307
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,639
the federal government tries to increase
their powers,

308
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,000
» yes,
>> that's what we're

309
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:04,400
» Okay. So as a member of KNRC, Brown
County, is do we do we have enough

310
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:07,680
information to vote on this ballot so we
can send it off?

311
00:35:05,839 --> 00:35:12,720
» So the the question, should the Kansas
KN&RC be authorized to participate uh in

312
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:16,480
federal litigation defending the repeal
of the US Fish and Wildlife Services

313
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:21,760
Regulatory Definition of harm under the
Endangered Species Act? And yes, we

314
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,320
authorize them or no, we do not. How do
you vote on that?

315
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:29,040
» I vote yes.
>> I vote yes. I vote yes, too. So, we'll

316
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:33,079
just check that box.
>> Okay. Do we have to make a motion?

317
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:37,240
» No.

318
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:44,880
» Okay. Okay. Okay. On question number
two, should KN&RC be authorized to

319
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:50,560
participate in litigation defending the
repeal of US Fish and Wildlife Services

320
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,160
blanket section 4D rule? How do you
vote?

321
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,280
» Yes or no?
>> Yes.

322
00:35:52,880 --> 00:36:01,400
» Yes.
>> I would vote yes. Okay. So, yes. Um, the

323
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,400
date of vote is 8326.

324
00:36:01,525 --> 00:36:05,839
[clears throat] And if anybody wanted to
look in this, there was a reason they

325
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:09,079
broke it into two votes. If you read
through their

326
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:17,440
Okay. Okay. Then I would make a motion
to submit this ballot

327
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:22,320
um to KN&RC
so that they can

328
00:36:19,839 --> 00:36:25,839
count it. Is there a second? I'll second
it. It's been moved and seconded. Is

329
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:31,400

favor say I.
