2
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:20,430

00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:22,150

5
00:00:26,690 --> 00:00:26,890
Yes.

6
00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:28,450
Commissioner Dixon?

7
00:00:29,410 --> 00:00:29,990

8
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:37,770
I went to make a motion to excuse Mr. Dixon for illness.

9
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:41,710
Second, Mr. Rogers?

10
00:00:43,330 --> 00:00:43,630

11
00:00:43,970 --> 00:00:44,850
Mr. Carpenter.

12
00:00:46,750 --> 00:00:46,870
Yes.

13
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:53,470
Okay, would you please rise for the pledge of allegiance?

14
00:00:53,470 --> 00:00:56,330
I pledge allegiance to the

15
00:00:57,150 --> 00:00:57,670
page.

16
00:00:59,290 --> 00:00:59,990
The public.

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,540
Under an individual liberty.

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,240
Dr. Brown.

19
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:11,620
I make a motion to approve the meeting

20
00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:14,980
minutes of the board of

21
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:16,960
November 9th.

22
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:22,800
Commissioner Rodgers.

23
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:24,120
Yes.

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,300
Was I there at that time or was I

25
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:27,580
She

26
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:32,290
was present.

27
00:01:32,370 --> 00:01:33,070
Okay.

28
00:01:33,290 --> 00:01:33,550
Second.

29
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:36,990
Commissioner Rogers.

30
00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:38,350
Yes.

31
00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:39,610
Commissioner Carpenter.

32
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:41,470
Yes.

33
00:01:42,930 --> 00:01:43,310
Okay.

34
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:47,490
First saying that we have our county administrative report.

35
00:01:48,990 --> 00:01:56,250
Commissioner Rogers, you will address this more specifically at the next section of the agenda under item three public hearings.

36
00:01:56,250 --> 00:02:06,330
But I did want to at least let the public know that the commissioners know that on Friday administration received a letter from the legal consultant of the land of illusion

37
00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:12,430
Representing land of illusion in its world zoning commission zone change case two zero dash zero three

38
00:02:12,430 --> 00:02:21,810
The legal consultant to land of illusion did request the board of commissioners reschedule its November 23rd public hearing until November 30

39
00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:26,130
So, I, you will address that again in the next section of the meeting.

40
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:30,830
Okay, so the redet,

41
00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:34,490
what I have here?

42
00:02:34,510 --> 00:02:35,310
Yes, please.

43
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:36,330
I'm.

44
00:02:38,910 --> 00:02:43,930
In that regard, on a space for Friday, a menstruation received a letter from the legal consultant

45
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:51,630
representing land liitions in its world zoning commission zone change, application, R, Z, C,

46
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:57,030
20-03 requesting the commission's Board of Commission's reschedule.

47
00:02:57,310 --> 00:03:01,590
It's November 23, public meeting until November 30.

48
00:03:02,270 --> 00:03:06,970
The Board wanted to publicly announce the receipt of this

49
00:03:06,970 --> 00:03:10,490
well-animalitions request and publicly dispose of the request.

50
00:03:10,810 --> 00:03:16,650
This request is after the Board of Commissioners had to cancel its November 16th

51
00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:18,730
meeting due to lack of a quorum.

52
00:03:18,730 --> 00:03:25,890
and rescheduled the originally notice public hearing date of November 16th.

53
00:03:25,890 --> 00:03:30,710
The Butler County Board of Commissioners's public hearing for the subject case was initially

54
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:39,010
in lawfully noticed and advertised for November 16th, 2020 at 9.30 a.m. in the Board Chambers

55
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:43,690
at the Government Services Center because the core of the commissioners could not be

56
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:55,130
on November 16th, the public hearing for our ZC20-03 was rescheduled that morning to

57
00:03:55,130 --> 00:04:13,670
an November 23rd, 2020 at 930 at the G.C. G.S.C. and also by WebEx address for a

58
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:20,350
to reschedule the case during November 30th, concern for the health and well-being of the

59
00:04:20,350 --> 00:04:26,870
Board of Commissioners and for learning in the journal news, the Board members were in the

60
00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:33,810
panelial, the letter states, their health, and well-being are much more important than hearing

61
00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:40,870
this zoning application because of that, I believe, they're postponing the hearing on

62
00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:47,290
our ZEC application 20-03 would be in the best interest of the commissioner's health.

63
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:53,690
And also preference to conduct the subject hearing in person and concern for the land

64
00:04:53,690 --> 00:04:58,970
of lesions ability to properly prepare for an all-inversial presentation.

65
00:04:59,610 --> 00:05:06,230
The letter stated, in fact, I believe that my client would be registered by being forced

66
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:11,990
to present this application to the commissioners entirely the video conference without the ability

67
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:14,190
to properly prepare for that.

68
00:05:14,510 --> 00:05:19,150
The statute requires the Board of Commissioners to conduct a public hearing within 30 days

69
00:05:19,150 --> 00:05:24,350
receipt of the World-Zoning Commission, or recommendation, which was presented to the Board

70
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:26,950
of Commission on November 3.

71
00:05:27,790 --> 00:05:33,730
Draining the application request to reschedule the public hearing until November 30th does not

72
00:05:33,730 --> 00:05:43,790
conflict with the board you requirement under ORC 303 dash 0.12. I will entertain a motion

73
00:05:43,790 --> 00:05:50,450
then to grant the applicant's request for the Board of Commission of Public Hearing

74
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:59,570
for RZC 20 dash O3 land of illusion to be rescheduled to November 30 at 9.30 a.m.

75
00:05:59,570 --> 00:06:02,710
On the second floor of the Government Services Center,

76
00:06:02,770 --> 00:06:06,410
315, High Street, and also by WebEx,

77
00:06:06,530 --> 00:06:11,560
address for a virtual participation on the

78
00:06:14,310 --> 00:06:15,450
second.

79
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:19,070
Commissioner Rogers.

80
00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:21,690
Commissioner Carpenter.

81
00:06:23,530 --> 00:06:23,550
Yes.

82
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:31,190
Please note also that this serves as a formal public notice

83
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:33,880
and advertisement for the Board of Commissioners

84
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:44,480
public hearing for RZC2003 Land of Lusion is as rescheduled for November 30, 2020 at 9.30 a.m.

85
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:49,780
in the Board of Chambers at the Government Services Center and also by WebEx address

86
00:06:49,780 --> 00:06:54,340
for Virtual Participation. Okay, with that,

87
00:06:58,180 --> 00:07:01,160
anything else? With that, Judy, then, well,

88
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,480
move on or the finance report.

89
00:07:16,660 --> 00:07:19,660
Good morning commissioners, Angel Burton, finance director.

90
00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:27,620
You should have been provided have before you the finance resolutions for this week's meeting,

91
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:37,180
which also includes the items transferred or moved forward from the from last week's meeting.

92
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:47,600
We do have one cash transfer, and that's for the Mama's House, and then we move on to the transfers and appropriations.

93
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:51,680
There are several for many different offices and departments.

94
00:07:52,880 --> 00:08:01,300
I'll serve with in general fund, including Common Police, the Corners Office, Commissioner's Board of Elections, Treasures, 12 District Court,

95
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:11,420
And the Sheriff's Office, all of these transfers are within current budget and a zero net impact to general fund.

96
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:21,640
We also have several within special revenue funds. Again, many of these are, as we approach the end of year, are cleanups on current appropriations.

97
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:48,600
We do have one increase to general fund that is for $11,450, which will satisfy the commissioners' commitment to the EMA for their 2020 general fund transfer and we do have a relatively large debt transfer out of what, or I'm sorry, debt appropriation increase out of one of the tiff funds.

98
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,100
So again, that's on this week's transfers and appropriations.

99
00:08:53,280 --> 00:09:02,080
We have several requisitions over $25,000, and then just a couple of change orders over $25,000.

100
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,460

Thank you.

107
00:09:14,740 --> 00:09:19,480
With that, I will take a motion to accept the finance report.

108
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,360
report as submitted?

109
00:09:25,610 --> 00:09:27,270

I know the term digitizing is not the popular term, nonetheless it is and the documents

226
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,400

I move that we approve the office holders and agencies resolutions as submitted.

241
00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:59,230

243
00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:02,830
Yes.

244
00:21:03,170 --> 00:21:03,930
Commissioner Rogers.

245
00:21:05,770 --> 00:21:06,270
Yes.

246
00:21:07,450 --> 00:21:07,650
Okay.

247
00:21:07,650 --> 00:21:18,510
And moving on, and at this point, there's any visitors comments now would be the time.

248
00:21:21,060 --> 00:21:29,840
Hearing none, the seeing none, our future meeting schedule will be November 30th, and then

249
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:39,680
December 7th, I want to accept the official report of the recorder for October 20th.

250
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,220
Community Announcements are the Butter County Regional Transit Authority.

251
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:52,620
We'll hold this meeting on November 18th, 2020 at 8am and I want to announce a road closure

252
00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:58,260

253
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:06,040
Liberty Way will close near the Liberty Way and other warm road intersection until November 25th,

254
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,840
for 2020, for the installation and connection of overhead

255
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,500
conductors to the Lerby subsistation.

256
00:22:14,740 --> 00:22:20,740
Upcoming board of agencies, the Defenders Commissioner,

257
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:26,580
the Commission has won the agency and the metepond housing

258
00:22:26,580 --> 00:22:32,300
authority board will have won the agency on February 7, 2021.

259
00:22:33,820 --> 00:22:37,480
Looks like we got through it.

260
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:42,680
If there's no further business, I will take a motion to adjourn.

261
00:22:44,810 --> 00:23:00,150
Mr. Rogers, I would like an update on where we are with the COVID-19 testing and secondary plan to support the rollout of the vaccination.

262
00:23:03,070 --> 00:23:13,630
Jerry. So the contracts for bits under $50,000 has been completed. We are going to be

263
00:23:13,630 --> 00:23:22,450
calling some vendors today with the hopeful acceptance from the Health Commissioner. Also the

264
00:23:22,450 --> 00:23:32,990
RFP for the longer term and much more robust testing and shift to immunization is completed

265
00:23:32,990 --> 00:23:40,390
as well. We have acquired a list of vendors that we would be issuing that RFP next Tuesday

266
00:23:40,390 --> 00:23:44,530
after the commissioners approved the request to advertise for the RFP at your meeting next

267
00:23:44,530 --> 00:23:45,050
Monday.

268
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,440
But documents are ready.

269
00:23:48,460 --> 00:24:01,400
I am not sure if there is a reporter present today, but I would like to ask a reporter

270
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:11,100
someone in the press, so please notify the public that the $50,000 contract through there.

271
00:24:11,460 --> 00:24:19,600
The commissioners are looking for healthcare providers who are willing to do the testing immediately

272
00:24:20,220 --> 00:24:26,360
before the end of the year so that we can get those folks to an inadvertently exposed

273
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:33,860
over Thanksgiving and over the holidays tested as quickly as possible before they spread

274
00:24:33,860 --> 00:24:39,420
COVID-19 to others. So that's the plea that I do have to the press today.

275
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:51,900
Secondarily, I would like to add to the contract or at least have my idea reviewed that we

276
00:24:51,900 --> 00:25:05,980
put a dollar amount on the testing that is completed of $200, which matches the federal contract

277
00:25:05,980 --> 00:25:17,840
that was given very early in this pandemic and also offered $250 for rapid testing for

278
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:26,360
those folks who are emergency responders or health care workers or day care workers or that

279
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:33,800
certain category of individuals who have to be tested on the day so that when they go

280
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,040
to work and they're working very closely with fragile individuals they are not spreading

281
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:39,720
the virus.

282
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:49,780
So, again, my recommendation is simply that we fund $200 per test that takes two to three

283
00:25:49,780 --> 00:25:59,460
days and $250 per test for the direct care workers that does mirror what the federal contract

284
00:25:59,460 --> 00:26:08,400
was and it does make much of the bureaucracy, accounting numbers, finance, easier for everyone

285
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:17,400
involved, so our job can be to rapidly test people and eliminate as much of the paperwork

286
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,280
as possible.

287
00:26:18,860 --> 00:26:23,360
I do realize there are people who have insurance, but I also realize that there's a lot

288
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:29,700
of work that goes into billing insurance, trying to collect insurance, resubmitting insurance,

289
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,580
and that sort of thing, and that's an intangible amount of human resources.

290
00:26:35,580 --> 00:26:40,940
we can't count that because we don't know how much it's going to be involved in each case.

291
00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:50,820
So again, to Administrator Boytow, I'd like to ask you to go back and look at that very

292
00:26:50,820 --> 00:27:00,460
simple way, mirroring what the federal government did to have those tests paid for with the longer

293
00:27:00,460 --> 00:27:11,120
return $6 million money we have set aside for the COVID testing. Those are mine. That's

294
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:16,380
my recommendation and that's what I hope you'll be able to do today. Thank you.

295
00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:33,640
By assigning a cost in the RFP defeats the purpose of the competitive process, the way

296
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:40,820
The RFP is currently drafted as a unit price that the vendor offer would submit the

297
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:50,400
quote, and we could certainly, if the commissioners decide and direct that you do not want

298
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:57,540
private billing or any other form of cost to be to match or cover the cost, and you just

299
00:27:57,540 --> 00:28:00,860
are completely going to pay for the test and sell for girls with the unit price what

300
00:28:00,860 --> 00:28:01,280
they are.

301
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:09,280
We certainly can do that, but right now it's drafted as if there is private pay would actually be

302
00:28:09,940 --> 00:28:16,420
would actually be costed first and then the commissioners' cares act allowance would do it.

303
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:20,060
So I just need direction from the board on how you would like to handle that.

304
00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:24,600
Certainly can remove the third pay or language, that's not a problem at all.

305
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:29,420
It would make it cleaner, it would make it a lot easier, probably, for the offers to do this.

306
00:28:29,420 --> 00:28:35,860
just came for every test that's done. I'm not certain, again, if the board wants to

307
00:28:35,860 --> 00:28:45,980
direct use to remove the competitive portion of it, then in terms of unipricing,

308
00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:48,300
would need that direction from the board as well.

309
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,960
In that scenario, would the board of

310
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:06,500
missioners, the expected to wait until every insurance claim has been completed and funds

311
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:09,300
have been submitted to the selected vendor.

312
00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:13,750
In order to pay for the cost?

313
00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:28,210
Yes, but before the healthcare agency gets funds, would they be required to have the private

314
00:29:28,210 --> 00:29:33,410
to take insurance companies, submit a text to them?

315
00:29:34,410 --> 00:29:39,010
No, they would not have to, they would just need to register the billing and determine

316
00:29:39,010 --> 00:29:43,690
how much they would be reimbursed by that healthcare company and then only bill us for

317
00:29:43,690 --> 00:29:44,230
the difference.

318
00:29:44,230 --> 00:29:59,970
And do we know that, do we know the reimbursement from the major healthcare companies and from...

319
00:30:00,620 --> 00:30:03,520
Medicaid, which is

320
00:30:05,670 --> 00:30:10,450
very large part of our low-income population.

321
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:16,190
No, I do not know. I do not know what those reimbursements are.

322
00:30:17,030 --> 00:30:22,870
But again, based on the unit price that the offer submits is a competitive for the RFP,

323
00:30:24,210 --> 00:30:28,250
we would pay the difference of what they were able to build.

324
00:30:28,250 --> 00:30:33,610
And then they would, if they did not get the reimbursement, then they could always bill us again for that balance.

325
00:30:35,710 --> 00:30:54,000
So the expectation is that the healthcare agency will be adding in their employee spots and overhead into their response.

326
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:03,560
Yes, the unit price would be inclusive of all of the offers cost, overhead, personnel, facility, whatever.

327
00:31:05,890 --> 00:31:19,690
So could you please review for me what the criteria is for rating the bid?

328
00:31:20,250 --> 00:31:24,350
There are five categories, I'm sorry I don't have that with me, but there are five categories

329
00:31:24,350 --> 00:31:32,210
and they range from price to ability and capability of the offer for the, excuse me,

330
00:31:32,330 --> 00:31:38,750
from a staffing perspective, also the locations, they're proposal on how they will do the testing,

331
00:31:38,990 --> 00:31:45,050
the methodology, the financial situation condition of the entity in it in order to be able

332
00:31:45,050 --> 00:31:49,110
to cover this, there are about five different criteria in the RFP.

333
00:31:50,650 --> 00:32:08,910
At this time do we have an idea of what we expect for locations and how many people we expect

334
00:32:08,910 --> 00:32:18,250
per location so that when we get this rolling we're able to handle the volume of people

335
00:32:18,250 --> 00:32:25,550
And we're able to put the testing where it needs to be, where we know that we have outbreak.

336
00:32:26,450 --> 00:32:31,490
Yes, there are two components to the RFP for testing and immunization.

337
00:32:32,530 --> 00:32:47,930
The first form, let me answer your question, is that a primary component of the RFP is for the offer to determine and to present its locations and its methodology in addressing not only stationary testing locations,

338
00:32:47,930 --> 00:32:55,410
but also rapid response testing for strike team, so it's a big component of what the offer

339
00:32:55,410 --> 00:33:00,850
needs to present as part of our F.P. We do not now have those locations identified that

340
00:33:00,850 --> 00:33:07,010
that would be part of the RFP proposal at any end of the presenter. To answer your question,

341
00:33:07,190 --> 00:33:11,430
there are two components of the testing stationary, as I said, and then also the rapid response

342
00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:16,570
that's going to be based on the health commissioners where the machine needs it to go.

343
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:44,740
When we ask for the methodology of the test, do we have a standard we're looking at, or are we just going to judge the bid against each other?

344
00:33:46,890 --> 00:33:55,510
When you say the methodology of the test, it's going to be the test that the health commission has already identified that's listed in there that's

345
00:33:55,510 --> 00:34:12,610
it's generally accepted by CDC and all of the tests that have been out there now, in terms of how they're going to how the offer is going to set up its location, set up how often, how many days a week, are they going to do it at a stationary location.

346
00:34:12,610 --> 00:34:18,970
And this place, this place, with hours, those are all going to be unique to the offer and

347
00:34:18,970 --> 00:34:20,550
the submitter.

348
00:34:21,890 --> 00:34:22,430
And they will be evaluated.

349
00:34:22,750 --> 00:34:25,410
They will be evaluated among each other.

350
00:34:27,970 --> 00:34:42,590
I would like to ask that there is an educational component while the individuals who are being

351
00:34:42,590 --> 00:35:00,550
So that every person that walks away, walks away with some educational material, maybe they test negative for COVID-19, but if something they can take home with them, and share with their families, that is an opportunity I think is priceless.

352
00:35:00,550 --> 00:35:09,890
I know that the tracers are not being successful.

353
00:35:10,810 --> 00:35:18,810
I could say everyone involved understands that the tracing after the fact isn't working

354
00:35:18,810 --> 00:35:29,590
and that people who are sick in fact are not so interested in hearing more about COVID

355
00:35:29,590 --> 00:35:36,830
education. So it's very important to me that part of the RFP is that the medical provider

356
00:35:36,830 --> 00:35:46,070
provides educational material at the time. It's also very important to me that we designate

357
00:35:46,070 --> 00:35:54,570
that we want rapid testing for individuals who need it for their jobs in order to keep

358
00:35:54,570 --> 00:35:56,930
other people as safe as possible.

359
00:35:58,470 --> 00:36:00,330
So that that is.

360
00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:05,540
Sorry, Commissioner, I thought you were completed.

361
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:06,640
I'll wait.

362
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,900
No, that's fine.

363
00:36:12,020 --> 00:36:19,740
So the RFP, the RFP does articulate two times for counseling

364
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,460
at the time the patient is being tested.

365
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,240
Regardless, what that time, of course, will not

366
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:39,120
there was also the test, but the offer must council, the COVID patient at that time, the best

367
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,380
practices, you must do this, you must do that, please be aware of this, please be aware

368
00:36:43,380 --> 00:36:48,340
of that, they will be counseling at the time of the test, and then also within 24 hours

369
00:36:48,340 --> 00:36:56,680
of receipt of the results of the test, the offer must contact the patient as well. And then, again,

370
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,060
if they're positive, recounts all them

371
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:00,500
while they have them on the line.

372
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,900
I would like you to look into that because at this time,

373
00:37:07,140 --> 00:37:11,940
it's my belief that the health department cannot delegate

374
00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:15,660
their responsibility to make that last contact.

375
00:37:17,620 --> 00:37:21,980
I could be wrong, but I think that's what will happen.

376
00:37:21,980 --> 00:37:31,960
And I also believe from my 14 campaigns across the county that if we set up, if we set

377
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:41,520
up standards, semi-permanent locations where they're parking lots, where there is easy

378
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:51,960
access, where there is a landmark building that the public will be able to find those locations

379
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:58,900
And we'll know to go there, so I think that's critically important, and if that happens,

380
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:12,440
the strike course, team can be significantly reduced and go to places like the nursing

381
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:20,680
homes, if necessary, or, as we know, there are senior towers where there are dozens of

382
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:26,060
And we've got six people congregating together.

383
00:38:26,900 --> 00:38:29,160
We know that happened at Miami University.

384
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,160
That's what I envisioned for a strike force,

385
00:38:33,820 --> 00:38:40,340
but I would also envision that 95% of the effort

386
00:38:40,340 --> 00:38:44,860
go into establishing some like permanent locations

387
00:38:44,860 --> 00:38:49,720
so that every community knows where they are

388
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:53,240
And that word of mouth can be spread.

389
00:38:54,100 --> 00:39:02,000
I think doing this systematically is going to help us in the long run.

390
00:39:02,580 --> 00:39:03,760
He is the parking lot.

391
00:39:04,020 --> 00:39:08,880
The key is to get people driving through, getting their test while they're in the car,

392
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:15,700
and having minimal contact, even with the individuals who are doing the test.

393
00:39:15,700 --> 00:39:22,560
So that, those are my comments, Commissioner Glacos, so thank you very much.

394
00:39:26,510 --> 00:39:26,650
Okay.

395
00:39:27,890 --> 00:39:28,450
Got there?

396
00:39:34,630 --> 00:39:35,410
He's a motion.

397
00:39:35,910 --> 00:39:37,350
Do you need a motion to adjourn?

398
00:39:37,810 --> 00:39:38,210
Yes.

399
00:39:39,630 --> 00:39:41,310
I move that we adjourn this meeting.

400
00:39:42,110 --> 00:39:42,410
Second.

401
00:39:43,110 --> 00:39:43,950
Mr. Carpenter?

402
00:39:45,930 --> 00:39:46,130
Yes.

403
00:39:46,410 --> 00:39:47,070
Commissioner Rogers.

404
00:39:48,310 --> 00:39:48,610
Yes.

405
00:39:49,330 --> 00:39:51,750
And thank you all and see you next week.

406
00:39:52,190 --> 00:39:52,610
Thank you.
