00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,040
starting.

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,800
>> Okay. Um we're going to start with

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,799
opening remarks by council member Nolan

5
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:16,960
Denim.

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,039
I'm

7
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:18,720
>> going to give my opening remarks in the

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,310
form of a prayer.

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,320
Our father in heaven, we come before

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,000

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,800

12
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,640
government and this freedom and nation

13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,719
which we have

14
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:34,559
>> during this month of July. We recognize

15
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:36,399
our freedoms and those who have

16
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:38,239
sacrificed so much and we pray thy

17
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:41,040
blessings upon them who have served in

18
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,719
the past and those who are serving now

19
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:44,640
and their families as well as they are

20
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,559
away.

21
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:48,239
I pray that we will do the things in

22
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:51,680
accordance and that we will

23
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,520
be able to give consideration to all

24
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,440
things that are placed before us. We ask

25
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,039
for these things and do this in the name

26
00:00:57,039 --> 00:00:58,960
of thy son Jesus Christ. Amen.

27
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,800
>> Amen. Now, if you'll join me in a pledge

28
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,590
of allegiance, please.

29
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,560
» I aliance to the flag

30
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,840

00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,960
the republic for which it stands, one

32
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,479
nation under God, indivisible, with

33
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:25,270
liberty and justice for all.

34
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,240
» Thank you, Nolan. Appreciate that. Um,

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,479
has anyone had a chance to review the

36
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:31,920
agenda and would like to make a motion

37
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,920
about the agenda?

38
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,960
>> So, move.

39
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,479
>> Second. It's been moved and seconded

40
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:38,640
that we approve the agenda. Those in

41
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,840
favor say I.

42
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,439
>> I. Any opposed?

43
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:43,280
>> Okay. What about the minutes from the

44
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,000
last council meeting?

45
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,360
I would accept a motion about that.

46
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,280
>> I'll make a motion to approve them.

47
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,040
>> I'll second that. It's been moved and

48
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,720
seconded that we approve the minutes

49
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,720
from our July 14th council regular

50
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,479
meeting. Those in favor say I.

51
00:01:58,479 --> 00:01:59,119
>> I. I.

52
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:02,399
>> Any opposed. Okay.

53
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:04,079
All right. Move on to the report of the

54
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:05,200
county executive.

55
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,920
>> Um I have some matters involving

56
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,840
appointments, but it's entangled with

57
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,440
the fireboard and what's happening

58
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,520
there. And I have a discussion item

59
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,760
involving the fireboard. So I'll explain

60
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,239
what we're dealing with on appointments

61
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:20,720
there. I don't have any anything to

62
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,800
suggest an action on uh tonight. I do

63
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,720
have um a report on our efforts ongoing

64
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,879
with Powder Mountain and I would ask

65
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:35,599
that you allow my deputy Mr. Web to give

66
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:38,480
you an update on

67
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,080
excuse me that's [snorts] not Powder

68
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,480
Mountain that bear river

69
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,319
health department.

70
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:45,840
>> Okay.

71
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560
>> There's much health department didn't

72
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,319
even have to say his name three times to

73
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,830
summon him. [laughter]

74
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,840
» We've talked a number of times about the

75
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,680
interlocal agreement for health.

76
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,519
>> Can you identify yourself for the

77
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:00,560
recording?

78
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,879
>> Kurt Web executive.

79
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:04,000
>> Thank you.

80
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,760
>> And Jordan will explain what we've

81
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,959
agreed to. There are some and where we

82
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:10,480
are on it. There are apparently a few

83
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,760
details that still need to be worked

84
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,080
out, but they're mostly administrative

85
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,670
and I'll let him discuss it.

86
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,680
Yeah, thanks. Uh Jordan Matthysse,

87
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,800
director of the Bear River Health

88
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,400
Department. So, we've been in

89
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,959
discussions with uh Weaver Morgan Health

90
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:30,480
Department. Um just some historical

91
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120
background with regards to Powder

92
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Mountain. We've already had some um I

93
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,280
would call them uh gentleman's

94
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,680
agreements with with them on food

95
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,640
service for for Powder Mountain for

96
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,599
years. um meaning it was really

97
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:49,760
expensive for us to pay for a ski pass

98
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,040
and ski to the ones that were in um Cash

99
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,959
County. So, we just said, "While you're

100
00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:56,720
doing the others, go ahead and take care

101
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,000
of the others and permit them." So,

102
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,080
they've been doing that for years. But

103
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
now that the development's growing, uh

104
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,840
we did feel like it was appropriate to move towards a a formal interlocal

105
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,840
agreement between

106
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,120
um between the two agencies for public

107
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,720
health uh programs and and regulations

108
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,160
um of the development. Um so the

109
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,680
duration it the you have a copy of this

110
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,960
and on page three

111
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,360
well let me go on page two um the the

112
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,000
things that we're really delegating um

113
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,040
and asking them to take care of are food

114
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,000
service any on-site wastewater

115
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,040
permitting um public swimming pools and

116
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,919
spas general public health complaints

117
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:48,639
and emergency um response

118
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:50,960
Uh that would be something like say in

119
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,360
the development there's a diesel spill,

120
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,440
we would expect them to address that

121
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,960
rather than us addressing that. Um as

122
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,199
well as they would address any of the

123
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,320
fees. Um they would also be responsible

124
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,360
for any grievance or appeals to permits

125
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,039
or things like that. Um and then the

126
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:13,840
other question was can we really

127
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:16,400
delegate legal action? The answer was

128
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,240
probably not. and that we would um we

129
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,280
would each have responsibility for um

130
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,440
legal representation

131
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,639
um and but that we would coordinate. So

132
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:31,280
if somebody's not if somebody's actually

133
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,520
breaking public health law in Cash

134
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680
County, we're going to have to take care

135
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,680
of that, but it's probably going to be

136
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,240
picked up by them. And so then there's

137
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,600
going to be that coordination and

138
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,680
handoff uh with us. Uh section four

139
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,240
talks about the funding. Um there is no

140
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,800
exchange uh between the parties with

141
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,120
regards to to any sort of money. Um all

142
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,720
these things are based off a permit. Um

143
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,039
and so uh all the food, swimming pools,

144
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:05,600
wastewater, they're all based off of a

145
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,080
permit. Uh the only thing

146
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,759
>> according to their fee schedule. Yeah,

147
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:10,800
that's what I was going to ask because

148
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,880
it just says the fees will be decided by

149
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,800
the board of set by the board of health.

150
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,840
Is it their board of health?

151
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:16,720
>> It's their board of health.

152
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,600
>> Okay. That wasn't

153
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,759
>> the board of health has by by law their

154
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:21,360
board of health has the responsibility

155
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,639
to set their fees.

156
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:22,960
>> Okay.

157
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,039
>> Um and they will set them according to

158
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:28,400
that. Uh so they'll be uh they are

159
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,240
different from the fees that we have set

160
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,600
by our board of health. Um but the uh

161
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,080
the only issue that would ever run into

162
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,440
is on those spill related issues um or

163
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,280
emergency response, but then there's

164
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:44,960
going to probably be some sort of legal

165
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,800
action and then we'll get involved and

166
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,000
we'll we'll take care of that. Um so

167
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,960
there should not be any exchange of any

168
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,240
sort of funds between the parties. Uh

169
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,120
that's that's the gist of it. where it's

170
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,080
at currently is they had some other

171
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,319
priorities. The attorneys in in Weber

172
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,560
County had some other priorities said

173
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,160
that they would get their redlinined

174
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,759
version back to me tomorrow. Um so I'm

175
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:13,520
anticipating that. But the things that

176
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,160
they said that would be in there was

177
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,039
some language from their risk uh from

178
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:21,440
their insurer that they wanted to be put

179
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,440
in there that would cover them by their risk insurance. So it it seems

180
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,360
like it is more administrative changes

181
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,280
that they just need to feel feel

182
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,759
comfortable with with regards to theirs.

183
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:35,919
It has been reviewed by Cash County

184
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:38,400
Attorney's Office and given the green

185
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,240
light as it stands right now. So I'll

186
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,319
get those changes over to them once I

187
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:45,599
have them.

188
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:47,440
>> So I have a question Jordan. Then when

189
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,240
it when we get a final version with the

190
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,160
red lines and we both parties are

191
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,599
comfortable with it then it is a

192
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:56,000
legislative action to approve it like do

193
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,240
or signatures from us

194
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,840
>> according to the interlocal agreement

195
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,160
you've designated that administrative

196
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080
ability to me so I would be the

197
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,720
signature on the interlocal agreement

198
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,360
>> that I

199
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,440
>> this interlocal agreement because you

200
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,680
approved the other interlocal agreement

201
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,039
so does that make sense?

202
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:14,879
>> Yep.

203
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:16,960
>> Perfect. Thank you. Who else? Ash County

204
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,400
attorney will still sign it.

205
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,319
>> Yeah. Anybody have questions for Jordan?

206
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:25,280
>> Kurt Webb, deputy executive. Again,

207
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,039
that covered what I was going to say,

208
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:28,639
but I want to make sure it's clear is

209
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:30,879
that that

210
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:33,120
because this doesn't because everything

211
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,479
is fee based and it it won't affect our

212
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:40,479
budget, then it then the signature on it

213
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:42,959
is just an executive thing. This

214
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:44,480
isformational.

215
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,360
However, uh Sheriff Jansen is here later

216
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,720
on because the agreement with the with

217
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,839
the uh with law enforcement may have an

218
00:08:53,839 --> 00:08:56,720
impact and so that takes the resolution.

219
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,160
>> Okay. Thank you.

220
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,760
>> Thanks, Kurt. Anybody else have any

221
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,590
other questions about that?

222
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,200
» All right. Um Elma, you're next on the agenda. Request to the council to

223
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,800
approve a change in the scope of the

224
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,870
restaurant tax for 2025.

225
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,080
Elma Burgess, uh, Cash County, uh, grant

226
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,399
administrator. So, the fairgrounds

227
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:24,720
received a an award in 2025 for $25,000.

228
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Uh, this was to support their suicide

229
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,000
and mental health awareness. Um, they

230
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,720
had asked for those funds for a concert

231
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,040
in the park. Uh, the reason that we're

232
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,560
coming uh this evening is because that

233
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:40,320
is going to change a little bit for this

234
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,120
uh coming year. um instead of a concert

235
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,399
in the park, they're going to they have

236
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:49,279
found a uh organization. It's called One

237
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:51,360
Degree of Separation.

238
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,839
They provide uh suicide prevention

239
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:58,080
training and uh comedy along with

240
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,959
lifesaving education.

241
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:03,920
So, this award in 2025,

242
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,839
um they need to spend that by December

243
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:09,680
31st, 2027. and they want to change from

244
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:12,720
the concert in the park to this um other

245
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,320
training program. And that anticipated

246
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,200
that it will be held uh later this fall

247
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,160
around August, the end of August. And

248
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,240
they anticipate the event to be about

249
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,320
$10,000. They have spent some of the

250
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,800
money from that award. Um approximately

251
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,880
half of it has been spent. So they have

252
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,040
that those funds available. So, they're

253
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240
just asking um for a change in scope, if

254
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,000
you will, and just wanted to get

255
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,160
approval from the council if uh if you

256
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,279
desire to approve that. And Bart is here

257
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:51,279
if you have any specific questions.

258
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:54,800
>> I had a lot of questions about this. Um

259
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,320
and I can't remember I don't know if I

260
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,240
asked did I ask you to get answers for

261
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,600
me, Andrew? Were you able to do that

262
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,560
yet?

263
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,360
should be available on your iPad on the

264
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,240
original grant application.

265
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,079
>> Okay. Yeah. The question I had was when

266
00:11:08,079 --> 00:11:09,519
they applied for the grant for the

267
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:12,560
$25,000, what was the scope of that? Was

268
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:15,120
it supposed to be all for that um

269
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,839
concert? And then how much of it did

270
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:18,959
they spend

271
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:23,440
>> for the concert? And um then did they

272
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,440
apply for more money in 26? Have they

273
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,399
did they apply for wraps money in 2026

274
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,120
for any kind of suicide concert for that

275
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:31,519
year?

276
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:35,360
>> So, no, they didn't apply in 2026

277
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,120
and the scope of work and I sent the

278
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,800
application um to Andrew. Um so, the

279
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,600
scope of work was basically that concert

280
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,480
and some um what they've spent it on is

281
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,200
some advertising.

282
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,000
They did hold an event um I think it was

283
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,200
on Thursday of last year of the rodeo

284
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,880
affair weekend and um they did have an

285
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,839
event but this other one would be for

286
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:03,360
this year but they didn't apply for

287
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,600
another um award.

288
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,320
>> Okay. Okay. Thank you. That was that was

289
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,079
the questions I had was how how did they

290
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:13,920
what was the scope of the original grant

291
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,560
application?

292
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:18,560
Okay. What else? Somebody have questions

293
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:19,600
about this?

294
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,600
>> I this [snorts] one degree of

295
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,000
separation. I've never heard of it.

296
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,600
>> I'm on their website right now.

297
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,959
>> Neither. I looked at the website and

298
00:12:26,959 --> 00:12:30,399
it's a they have a comedians do a

299
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:32,800
stand-up routine that's brief um and

300
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,279
they emphasize that it was clean comedy

301
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:37,360
and then they organize a panel of these

302
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,240
comedians to talk about just mental

303
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,399
health awareness type things. And the

304
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:45,680
premise is that comedy is often a venue

305
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:49,600
that um anything can be discussed. And

306
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,639
so they're trying to lead the by example

307
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:55,600
in discussing potentially taboo topics

308
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,399
in an open type forum. So I didn't know

309
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:00,160
much about it either. I guess I still

310
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,040
don't. But

311
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,680
>> is this event going to be tied in with

312
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:07,360
other events too at the rivers or is it

313
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,440
a standalone?

314
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,600
I Mark can probably answer that.

315
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,320
>> Yeah,

316
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,160
>> because I know there's a lot of several

317
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,519
other organizations that have been

318
00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:17,760
trying to get off, you know, their their

319
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,200
feet off the ground and have tried some

320
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,959
things and I was wondering if these they

321
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:22,880
were all coming together.

322
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,000
>> So, um, thanks for for letting me speak

323
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,320
to this a little bit. Um, I met I

324
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,160
brought and I have with me Adam Vald

325
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,120
Valdez is with one degree of separation,

326
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,800
so he can answer any of the more

327
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,560
specific questions. Um they held an

328
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,600
event in Spanish Fork just a few weeks

329
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,000
ago and some of our committee members

330
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,680
went down to this event. Uh Jill

331
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,839
MacArthur from Bear River Health

332
00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:52,880
Department and and some others and come

333
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,000
back um quite impressed with what they

334
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,920
had seen down there. Um we're still kind

335
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,519
of playing with this. They do have an

336
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,760
event scheduled for um August 29th

337
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,360
and that's kind of our target. But the

338
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,320
goal, my goal would be to try and

339
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,000
um do this event when we can target some

340
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,720
influencers, you know, the people that

341
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,279
um can get them into to uh school

342
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:26,320
assemblies and businesses and those

343
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,240
things to expand the reach because uh

344
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,079
any of you that have known me for very

345
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:34,800
long know that this is a a passion of

346
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,880
mine, suicide, mental health awareness.

347
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,240
this um and I you know it's important

348
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:45,360
that we get the word out. So whether we tie in with this event at the

349
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,120
Riverwoods or we do something um later

350
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,959
on is still a little bit up in the air.

351
00:14:52,959 --> 00:15:00,160
Um we're just asking for the change of uh funding or or permission on our

352
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,480
wraps application. So we have a little

353
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,880
bit of mobility to to kind of figure

354
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,160
that out and go whichever way works out

355
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,880
best.

356
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,079
>> Is the venue change just more compatible

357
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:16,880
at the Riverwoods versus

358
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,600
Adam come from Wasatch Properties. So he

359
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,399
has ties there and uh before he met with

360
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:27,680
me he had they kind of had set something

361
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,079
up at the Riverwoods. We could certainly

362
00:15:30,079 --> 00:15:31,760
hold an event like this at the event

363
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,880
center, too. Um, you know, we could hold

364
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,320
it inside or outside or

365
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,160
>> It may be hard to book that on that on a

366
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:38,880
weekend, though.

367
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,279
>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Weekends are pretty

368
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:41,760
tough.

369
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,199
>> Yeah.

370
00:15:43,199 --> 00:15:45,040
>> So, either way, you're not exactly sure

371
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,000
which which date or what how you're

372
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,199
going to spend that money, but it has to

373
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:50,959
be spent by December 31st.

374
00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:53,440
>> I think we have December 31st of next

375
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:53,839
year.

376
00:15:53,839 --> 00:15:55,360
>> Oh. Of next year. 2027.

377
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,240
>> 27th.

378
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,839
>> Okay.

379
00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:00,800
>> Yeah. But I I think it's important that

380
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,440
we try and target those influencers that

381
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,600
could then push it out and get more

382
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,279
people involved. And um you know 29th

383
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:11,279
that's right after school's starting.

384
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:11,759
>> Yeah.

385
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:13,440
>> Might be hard to get some of the people

386
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,800
from the school systems to attend at

387
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,480
that point where maybe a little later in

388
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,519
the year um we might have better luck.

389
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:23,040
So

390
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,079
>> yeah. Okay.

391
00:16:24,079 --> 00:16:27,440
>> Any other questions for Bart?

392
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,240
Yes, Matt.

393
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,079
>> Esteemed auditor.

394
00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:35,040
>> Thank you. F County auditor. Um my

395
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,800
concern when we had other applicants

396
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,759
request scope changes. Um a couple of

397
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:42,160
cities come to mind. Uh we've we've told

398
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,320
them they need to go back through the committee process. And I I suspect

399
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,320
that and and maybe Mr. Murray, the

400
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,240
county attorney could opine here, but I think we're probably maybe at that

401
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,519
point where we we should probably send

402
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,120
this back through the committee process

403
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,360
and process that that scope change.

404
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,639
>> Okay. Thank you.

405
00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:03,759
>> Those of you that are on the wraps

406
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:05,919
committee, what is your thoughts about

407
00:17:05,919 --> 00:17:06,160
that?

408
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,720
>> That would actually be really hard to do

409
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,720
right now.

410
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,640
This close to

411
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,959
>> tying into that event, it would be

412
00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:17,760
really hard to do right now.

413
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,679
come back,

414
00:17:19,679 --> 00:17:22,079
>> but

415
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:24,079
I know in the future things change. I

416
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:25,839
imagine next year's application would

417
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:28,319
probably be dramatically different now.

418
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:29,120
So,

419
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,799
>> think of when River Heights has come in

420
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,840
and they've changed their we

421
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,160
>> and those have been very capital kind of

422
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,000
a capital expenditure type things you

423
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,240
know that we've worked with versus

424
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,559
>> comes to mind first of all is when they

425
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:45,679
change from one park to the other park.

426
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:47,440
Yeah, let's define the scope change

427
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,200
because I think that's a valid concern.

428
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,720
But what I think what we're talking

429
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,559
about is there was going to be a

430
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:55,200
concert, some form of entertainment with

431
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,880
the topic of suicide awareness and

432
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,720
they're switching it for something

433
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,000
>> with same idea of suicide awareness. I

434
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
mean, I don't know.

435
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,919
It's apples to apples, I think.

436
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:07,919
>> So, is it going to use all the funds

437
00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:10,000
this year, do you think, or just a

438
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,360
portion?

439
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:14,240
>> Well, they have 11. I thought that said

440
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:14,640
17

441
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,880
>> and this would cost 10.

442
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,200
>> Yeah. So, it it may well we'll we'll

443
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,120
certainly still try and get some

444
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,559
sponsorship. We've done a lot with

445
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,679
sponsorships in the past and we do have

446
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:29,039
roughly $17,000 that's earmarked in the

447
00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:31,120
foundation account also for this

448
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:35,120
purpose. So there there's other options.

449
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,679
Um but this is the option with a time

450
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:40,640
limit on it. Right. So that [snorts] was

451
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,480
kind of the thinking behind that. Yeah.

452
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,400
Bart, I I think I'm confused. Is there

453
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,400
another event that you're trying to

454
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,640
piggyback with at the Riverwoods or it's

455
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,240
just a venue change?

456
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,400
>> Um, just a venue change and that's not

457
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,240
for sure yet. We may still do it at the

458
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,200
event center. Um, I I I want to leave

459
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,760
those options open.

460
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,400
>> So, it might not even happen in August.

461
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,039
>> Correct.

462
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,039
>> Okay.

463
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:07,679
Do we um This one we need to take

464
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:12,549
a vote on. Correct, Andrew?

465
00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:16,559
That's a good question. Uh I think first

466
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:18,799
and foremost I think not to put Mr.

467
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,120
Murray on the spot but if he could opine

468
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:25,440
on to I haven't seen what the actual

469
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,720
what you're actually looking at for

470
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,320
scope. Just sitting here listening when

471
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,520
I'm hearing concert versus comedy show

472
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,520
I'm not really seeing a big difference

473
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,760
whether it's someone singing or someone

474
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,400
out there

475
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,640
>> social

476
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,559
I'm not necessarily seeing a change in

477
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:42,960
the scope of what we're doing

478
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,400
entertainment event for suicide

479
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,919
prevention so I'm not sure if this is

480
00:19:45,919 --> 00:19:48,000
even actually necessary but I haven't

481
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,360
seen the

482
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:50,880
>> that that's just scope shooting from the

483
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,960
hip a little bit on what's been talked

484
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,600
about you're not seeing the actual scope

485
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,120
>> so maybe we don't even need toote vote

486
00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,200
on it that it's

487
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,799
>> that's my question. Do we need to take

488
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:02,160
an official vote or not?

489
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,679
>> Well, if your intent is to approve what

490
00:20:05,679 --> 00:20:07,600
is being requested, I think just to be

491
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,360
safe

492
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:10,240
to make a vote,

493
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,480
>> I would I would move that we go ahead

494
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,840
and support this change for this year

495
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:21,360
and uh to keep this uh uh event and this

496
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:23,760
purpose going strong.

497
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,679
>> I'll second it. Okay, it's been moved

498
00:20:25,679 --> 00:20:27,200
and seconded that we approve this

499
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,919
request um from the county fairgrounds.

500
00:20:29,919 --> 00:20:32,400
Is there any further discussion?

501
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,000
>> Is it possible to listen to the

502
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,159
gentleman from one degree of separation

503
00:20:36,159 --> 00:20:37,679
just so we have more information on

504
00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:38,080
that?

505
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,799
>> Absolutely.

506
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:42,799
>> Is is he the comedian? [laughter]

507
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:43,840
>> No, you're the comedian.

508
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,840
>> The first two minutes is is the bit and

509
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,600
then the next two is a question.

510
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,840
>> Would you please state your name?

511
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,760
>> Adam Valdez with one degree of

512
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,880
separation. I I'll keep it brief. Um

513
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,000
just to give you some a snapshot of the

514
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,559
presentation that one degree has done in

515
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:02,320
the last eight months. They've been to

516
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,360
all 50 states, 12 countries. The

517
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,640
Pentagon invited them to present at Camp

518
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,840
David. That's not public. Well, I guess

519
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,440
it is now. Sorry. But uh it can't be

520
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,320
advertised, but great organization,

521
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,360
great presentation. It's it's gotten a

522
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:23,919
lot of traction. There's ties that the

523
00:21:23,919 --> 00:21:28,159
founder has ties to Cash Valley. So, he

524
00:21:28,159 --> 00:21:30,960
wants to see this brought to the valley

525
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,200
and so,

526
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,280
uh, yeah, happy to answer any questions

527
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,360
if you have, but that if that helps you

528
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,600
get kind of comfortable with the

529
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,360
presentation.

530
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,039
>> Anybody have any other questions for Mr.

531
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:43,919
Valdez?

532
00:21:43,919 --> 00:21:45,440
>> Maybe just give them the opportunity to

533
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,679
correct what I said earlier. If there if

534
00:21:47,679 --> 00:21:49,520
there was anything inaccurate in my

535
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,280
description earlier, I will give you the

536
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,520
opportunity to correct the record.

537
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,799
>> No, I I think it was uh fairly accurate.

538
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:59,360
It's uh it's it's a different approach

539
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:04,000
to some a very sensitive uh subject,

540
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,440
right? So um there there's evidence that

541
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:15,679
uh to make the case that talking is um

542
00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:17,679
the it's the first step, right? So

543
00:22:17,679 --> 00:22:20,080
mental health it's complex. There's a

544
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,480
lot of you know everybody's been touched

545
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,120
by it in some capacity

546
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:28,320
and uh so they're very careful to stay

547
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,559
in their lane. All they're doing is

548
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:33,760
advocating uh and and providing tools

549
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,480
for people to feel comfortable to start

550
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,280
the process and talk about uh you know

551
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,440
if they're struggling.

552
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,559
>> Is that helpful?

553
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:44,000
>> Yes. Thank you.

554
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,080
>> Okay. I have a motion and a second. Is

555
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,400
there any further discussion? Those in

556
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,000
favor say I. I.

557
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,240
>> Any opposed?

558
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,799
>> Thank you so much.

559
00:22:54,799 --> 00:23:00,870
Okay. Sean Mil,

00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,440
» are we setting a timer? [laughter]

561
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,400
>> Thought that was gonna come from

562
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,640
Councilman Eric.

563
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:06,799
It's

564
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:08,720
>> the only guy we beat up over there.

565
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,280
>> I know,

566
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,400

569
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,919
>> Well, good evening council. My name is

River Association of Governments or

573
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,640
Bragg. Um, this evening I'm just looking

574
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,000
to give you a

575
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,320
annual report on the activity from the

576
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,159
last year in succinct uh form as I can

577
00:23:42,159 --> 00:23:45,120
and to preface the CEO board's

578
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:46,960
recommendations for the ensuing fiscal

579
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,039
year 27. So last year you'll uh you know

580
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:52,799
you're reminded that this is what you

581
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:54,799
had authorized the application that was

582
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:58,159
approved by GOED later was uh retain and

583
00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:00,880
recruit um which I can explain a couple

584
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,640
of activities here um update the

585
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,320
county's economic assessment and

586
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,120
strategy which was last done in 2020

587
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:13,440
and uh should be updated which will be

588
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,840
conducted later this year by the uh end

589
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,520
of Q127. seven and then a matching grant

590
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,039
for the airport that there is a call

591
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:23,600
sign for the airport LGU. Uh you'll

592
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:31,350
recall that Dr. Jones uh with S Swubar

593
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,000
oh goodness with a consultancy of a name

594
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,760
who I cannot pronounce right now from

595
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,919
memory. I can see it spelled. But

596
00:24:37,919 --> 00:24:39,679
anyway, he had made a number of

597
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:41,360
recommendations to improve the

598
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:43,600
operational efficiency and fiscal

599
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,000
feasibility of the airport, of which the

600
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,760
county has undertaken several of those

601
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,840
steps in the last couple of years. And

602
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,919
you had set aside some money as

603
00:24:51,919 --> 00:24:53,840
recommended by the CEO board, which for

604
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,480
the audio record and uh to remind you is

605
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,200
the county economic opportunity advisory

606
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,919
board aka CEO board. They are advisory

607
00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:03,360
to you only. you have the ultimate

608
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:05,760
authority and they had recommended that

609
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,440
to the extent that you could utilize

610
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,840
that funding to help progress some of

611
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,159
those recommendations to do so. Um what

612
00:25:14,159 --> 00:25:15,440
I' I've already mentioned that the

613
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,880
county's economic development assessment

614
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,919
and strategy uh will take place here

615
00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:22,320
shortly will begin shortly and and go

616
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,960
through Q1 of 27 when it's expected to

617
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
be updated. A number of you will

618
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,960
obviously be uh sought out for input so

619
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,440
that you can give your guidance on what

620
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,360
your observations for the economy are,

621
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:37,279
where you'd like it to be, as well as a

622
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:38,480
number of other stakeholders throughout

623
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,799
the county. As far as the airport growth

624
00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:43,440
goes, um this was envisioned and held

625
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,240
aside for the

626
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,440
selfserve fuel farm. Uh that was a

627
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,600
recommendation made

628
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,200
by Dr. Jones uh for reasons that I would

629
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,960
rather defer to the county executive if

630
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,840
he would like to expand on that is

631
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,240
likely going to go into next year and uh

632
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,400
I can speak more about that in another

633
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,440
subsequent slide.

634
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,240
Uh just a number of just photos of some

635
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,320
of the activity that has expanded in the

636
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,240
last calendar year that you're familiar

637
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,320
with. Shriber there in the upper middle

638
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,720
uh you may have heard is expanding in

639
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,760
Logan City. their production capacity

640
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,320
and that was approved with a a red tiff

641
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,840
which is a rural economic development

642
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,720
tax incentive financing. Uh it is the

643
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,880
state's contribution for increment tax

644
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,840
increment financing or tiff and uh did

645
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,520
not require county participation to uh

646
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,159
facilitate the company growing in our in

647
00:26:42,159 --> 00:26:44,720
our county. Of course the airport you'll

648
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,960
notice Greenfield Meling was in there as

649
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,400
well as um Pepperage Farms etc. The CEO

650
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,880
board met recently and has proposed the

651
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,799
following for the subsequent year's

652
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:56,480
application which is due by September

653
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,679
1st. Um there are a couple of changes

654
00:26:59,679 --> 00:27:02,000
this year that I'll speak about uh real

655
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,679
quickly in tandem with the next agenda

656
00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:06,480
item. But before I do, the proposal is

657
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,000
to keep the contract with Bragg the

658
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,520
same. That is the same dollar amount

659
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,320
allocation for the last four years. Um

660
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,200
no inflationary adjustment or otherwise.

661
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,799
Um I'm going to skip over the special

662
00:27:16,799 --> 00:27:18,400
projects. I'll come right back to that.

663
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,799
And I alluded to a moment ago, LGU, a

664
00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:23,840
matching grant um that was approved this

665
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,080
last year was not able to move forward

666
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,799
because the project uh didn't have uh

667
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,039
sufficient full funding and the funds

668
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:32,720
alone from this grant would not be

669
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,840
enough. the CEO board, uh, which at any

670
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,559
time I invite council members Mark Herd

671
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:41,279
and Keegan Gerity to chime in if they'd

672
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:43,919
like as members of the board, uh,

673
00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:46,559
recommended that another $18,000 be

674
00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:48,559
allocated to that. Combined with fiscal

675
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:51,360
year 21's uh, unspent funds, that would

676
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,440
be a little over $30,000 to go towards

677
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,720
that same project to uh, fund a tank

678
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,559
replacement and other hardware necessary

679
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:01,120
for the self-s served fuel farm. Now to

680
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:03,840
come back to special projects. The first

681
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,159
couple of years of this uh grant program

682
00:28:06,159 --> 00:28:08,720
a number of years ago in the west campus

683
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,679
of Bridgerland Technical College a a new

684
00:28:11,679 --> 00:28:13,600
project or a new program was being

685
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,320
created called the business innovation

686
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,120
yeah business and innovation center led

687
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:21,679
by Mark Alexander and it was all about

688
00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:23,520
helping entrepreneurs become market

689
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,679
ready and increasing their chance and

690
00:28:25,679 --> 00:28:29,440
likelihood of surviving and growth. and

691
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,840
he did such a fantastic job and was able

692
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,760
to show year-over-year growth on job

693
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,840
numbers that you guys had decided to

694
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,600
fund it for a second year. And then

695
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,360
there was even consideration for a third

696
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,440
year, but he politely declined it having

697
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,159
secured funding elsewhere uh within

698
00:28:44,159 --> 00:28:46,000
their institution

699
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,559
in order to keep the the program going.

700
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:50,480
You may and are likely aware of this,

701
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,240
but it's become so successful they

702
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,640
bought the old Hurf Jones building or um

703
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,399
Transchill building across the street

704
00:28:56,399 --> 00:28:58,720
from West Campus and now completely

705
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,200
outfitted that into a super duper

706
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,279
expanded version of the business and

707
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:04,640
innovation center which they're now

708
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,279
branding the hub. And the idea is that

709
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:09,200
for up to two years, he helps these

710
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,679
entrepreneurs through guided mentorship.

711
00:29:11,679 --> 00:29:14,159
Some of it is projects with one another

712
00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:16,880
and requirements to to meet together and

713
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,640
as well as his own professional coaching

714
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,720
with he and his team to help them get

715
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,440
off the ground and help boost organic

716
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,679
homegrown businesses.

717
00:29:25,679 --> 00:29:28,240
Well, as part of their expansion efforts

718
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,919
and the growth of the campus's other

719
00:29:29,919 --> 00:29:31,360
programs, they're hoping to move the

720
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,559
commercial kitchen, which is still

721
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:35,679
located in the old West Campus location,

722
00:29:35,679 --> 00:29:37,919
across the street into Herf Jones. But

723
00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:39,679
as you can imagine, and anybody who's

724
00:29:39,679 --> 00:29:41,039
ever opened a restaurant knows,

725
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:42,880
stainless steel and all of that kitchen

726
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,200
equipment is fairly expensive. So he's looking for a means of bridging a

727
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,080
gap of $80,000 to move that over. The

728
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,440
good news is he has 60 clients, that 6

729
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,039
clients that are using the commercial

730
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:58,000
kitchen to grow their homebased kitchen

731
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,480
uh business. So the um CEO board met and

732
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640
I've met with Mark Alexander as a

733
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,159
follow-up since that CEO board meeting

734
00:30:06,159 --> 00:30:07,919
and he's told me that specific number of

735
00:30:07,919 --> 00:30:10,320
80,000 is a gap that he'd like to have

736
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,360
bridged and so that 20,500 is proposed

737
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,880
for there. At this point I'll pause

738
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,480
before going over the last slide which

739
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,320
is a series of recommendations that

740
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,760
forecast into the future.

741
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,480
>> Any questions?

742
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,880
>> Thanks for Sean. I I think the what

743
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,840
Bridgerland is doing is amazing and the

744
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,240
amount of small businesses they can help

745
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,039
in in that for $20,000. I think that's a

746
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:38,399
pretty big bang for the buck um for to

747
00:30:38,399 --> 00:30:40,559
affect small businesses in this county,

748
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:42,960
which we all like to see. I'd like to

749
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,840
see um if we're going to do economic

750
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,840
development to help the the smaller

751
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,950
businesses, too. So, I like that.

752
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,360
Anybody else have question?

753
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,919
comment. Okay.

754
00:30:57,919 --> 00:30:59,360
>> Felt like there was a Ben Stein

755
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,320
opportunity for Ber Beer there. Um the

756
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,279
next agenda item then I if if you were

757
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:07,120
to approve before I go to the next

758
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,360
agenda item. This is the CEO board's

759
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,440
recommendations for next year. As noted

760
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,960
earlier, the application is due by

761
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,960
September 1st, but there are a couple of

762
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,360
changes. One of those changes is the

763
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,720
next agenda item, but I'm going to leave

764
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,919
this here for a moment because I want to

765
00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:22,559
go back to the last slide. But um

766
00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:25,840
council members uh Keegan and Mark as

767
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,240
well as executive George Danes need to

768
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,600
be removed from the CEO board. Goed has

769
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,440
um updated their administrative rules

770
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,200
and one of those rules is they no longer

771
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,960
want to have any elected official or an

772
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,519
official that could possibly vote on the

773
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:41,200
recommendations that come before you and

774
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,480
this body as county council um be on

775
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,440
that advisory board. Um that change has

776
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,039
already been implemented in Cash, excuse

777
00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:51,840
me, in Rich County. Uh Boxelder, uh

778
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,919
we're still working on as well because

779
00:31:53,919 --> 00:31:55,279
all three of the counties here in the

780
00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:57,279
Bragg Service Area had a member of the

781
00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:58,799
legislative branch that was a part of

782
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:00,720
that. Uh for reasons that I think you

783
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,559
guys have well noted repeatedly that you

784
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:05,120
like to have a member. Um one of the

785
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,600
things that I've ensured with them that

786
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,360
you could have an exeicio that doesn't

787
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,760
vote. Uh but again all of our meetings

788
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,000
are always public and so any of you all

789
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,840
of you would be welcome to the CEO board

790
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,679
meetings where you could get a feel for

791
00:32:17,679 --> 00:32:20,399
the robust discussion that takes place

792
00:32:20,399 --> 00:32:22,960
with the group on various economic

793
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,960
development updates. At this point I

794
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,519
would defer to Keegan or Mark if you'd

795
00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:30,000
like to opine or say anything further

796
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,080
about that.

797
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,960
>> Uh I made my comments and my opinion on

798
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,640
this matter clear last meeting if you

799
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,240
remember.

800
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,679
But I'm grateful for the opportunity. I

801
00:32:39,679 --> 00:32:42,640
have been a part of the CEO board. But I

802
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,480
can I can get behind the state's

803
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,799
initiative given most counties have

804
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:48,399
commissioners, which is a different

805
00:32:48,399 --> 00:32:50,640
function than what we as council members

806
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,679
and the separate executive fulfill. But

807
00:32:53,679 --> 00:32:55,679
it's a it's a rule from the state that's

808
00:32:55,679 --> 00:33:00,310
one size fits most.

809
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,000
» I'm done. Sorry, Sean.

810
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,017
>> I'm just not taking your bait.

811
00:33:04,017 --> 00:33:05,440
[laughter] You're my boss and I agree

812
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,292
with you, but Yeah, sometimes

813
00:33:07,292 --> 00:33:08,559
[clears throat] a blunt instrument is

814
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:12,080
used instead of a scalpel. So, yep.

815
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,679
>> So, what that means functionally for

816
00:33:13,679 --> 00:33:15,279
that second agenda item tonight that I'm

817
00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:17,919
listed for is that you need those three

818
00:33:17,919 --> 00:33:19,840
and then another CEO board member in the

819
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,240
last month has mentioned some personal

820
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,320
complications that would preclude them

821
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,039
from being an active participant. So,

822
00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:29,360
that member would like to be excused and

823
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,360
that'll be four members that need to be

824
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,799
replaced. Now, I don't have any

825
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:34,480
suggestions for you this evening. The

826
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,880
CEO board discussed some folks in their

827
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,360
last meeting. Um, I think we still need

828
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,840
to met those out according to how they'd

829
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,559
like to. Uh, I will tell you that Brian

830
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:46,640
Carver, formerly with Bragg, now with

831
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,640
JUB Engineering, has been the vice chair

832
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,720
for the last couple of years, while

833
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,480
Councilman Mark Herd has been the chair.

834
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,720
He now is the chair, and they're waiting

835
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,720
to assign a vice chair until we get

836
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,519
those other seats occupied with folks.

837
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:01,200
um for the time being because of the

838
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,559
quantity of folks that you've had on

839
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:04,960
that board, we can still operate and

840
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,360
still have uh enough that meet the state

841
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,399
requirements, you've had in excess of

842
00:34:10,399 --> 00:34:13,679
those five minimum seats. So, um you now

843
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:16,240
have five seats with the four vacancies.

844
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:17,520
They've also as part of those

845
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,200
administrative rules updated that the

846
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,960
terms are no longer two years, they are

847
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,520
four years. And so, I will come before

848
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,879
you uh before long. I'd like to do it in

849
00:34:26,879 --> 00:34:29,119
the next month if you would permit. uh

850
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:30,879
come before you with some names for your

851
00:34:30,879 --> 00:34:34,639
consideration and approval and thereby

852
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,800
reestablished a staggered times and

853
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,879
terms so that some would end uh you know

854
00:34:40,879 --> 00:34:43,679
two years in between the others. Uh any

855
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:46,480
questions on those or any input for me

856
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,560
or the CEO or board members to consider

857
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,119
for membership? Um, you know what, Sean?

858
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:52,960
I think it might be helpful if you sent

859
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,200
us a list of the current makeup of what

860
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,040
board members are left so that we could

861
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,359
say, "Oh, I think I have a suggestion."

862
00:34:59,359 --> 00:34:59,760
>> Perfect.

863
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:00,880
>> For someone else, that would might be

864
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:01,760
helpful.

865
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,599
>> You okay if I send you the primer from

866
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:05,119
the state as well as to what those five

867
00:35:05,119 --> 00:35:07,200
minimum seats need to have as a

868
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,320
perspective? Perfect.

869
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,400
>> Yeah. Send it to Andrew and he'll get it

870
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:10,800
to us.

871
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,320
>> We'll do. [snorts]

872
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,640
Okay. So, then I come back. Um, oh, one

873
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,480
of the other administrative rules. I say

874
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,000
O as though it was an afterthought, but

875
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,359
it's kind of a big one. They want to

876
00:35:19,359 --> 00:35:20,800
make make sure that there's a formalized

877
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,200
contract. What we've had is an open

878
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,119
transparent process here in these public

879
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:26,720
meetings since this grant was

880
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:29,200
established a number of years ago in

881
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,839
2020. But now GOED would like to see

882
00:35:31,839 --> 00:35:34,480
that actually codified. And so I would

883
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,720
like to work with attorney uh Dane

884
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:39,040
Murray to put together at least a

885
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,960
rudimentary contract that addresses

886
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,880
things that I believe well I know some

887
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,400
of you and I don't know if all of you

888
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,440
saw certainly council members uh Keegan

889
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,599
Mark and I believe executive Danes may

890
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:52,160
have received an email from James Dixon

891
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,560
about six or eight weeks ago that noted

892
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,160
what some of those expectations are to

893
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,320
be in a contract. Overarchingly you need

894
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,920
to have an objective. what is it that

895
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,599
you want to accomplish from economic

896
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:03,680
development goals for the county and

897
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,839
then what are some metrics to make sure

898
00:36:05,839 --> 00:36:07,520
that you're holding me accountable in

899
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,599
this function that I serve for you. So

900
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:11,680
we will need to have that adopted and as

901
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:12,880
part of the application that gets

902
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,839
submitted September one as well. So with

903
00:36:15,839 --> 00:36:18,320
your permission I'd like to reach out to

904
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,160
attorney Danes and get something like

905
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,200
that put together for your review.

906
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,200
Okay. Then the last element are just

907
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,680
some future recommendations that the CEO

908
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,280
board has suggested um that you know

909
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,520
again they're an advisory board to you.

910
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,119
have the ultimate authority in what

911
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:37,280
I uh submit on your behalf in the

912
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,200
application for each year's annual

913
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,720
funding.

914
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:42,240
uh some of those and I'll read them

915
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,160
aloud here for the benefit of the audio

916
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,000
recording. Following an update of the

917
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,880
strategic plan, renew the living on edge

918
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,720
marketing or branding campaign that was

919
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:53,599
engaged some 10 years ago roughly.

920
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:55,359
>> I think it was called Logan on the Edge.

921
00:36:55,359 --> 00:36:57,520
>> Oh, Logan on the edge. Okay.

922
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,880
>> Yeah. Probably has a very different

923
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,839
meaning than living on the edge. Um all

924
00:37:01,839 --> 00:37:03,520
right. The second one is study of

925
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,839
economic impact of specifically league

926
00:37:05,839 --> 00:37:07,760
sports and outdoor recreation. I noticed

927
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,520
that you have an agenda item related to

928
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,839
recreation centers this evening. I say

929
00:37:11,839 --> 00:37:13,760
nothing more, but you know there is a

930
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,760
significant um tourism aspect to league

931
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,760
sports if you have the facilities for it

932
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,839
and the season. The third one is

933
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:23,280
continued progress on furthering the

934
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,040
airport upgrades which you've seen last

935
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,200
year and this year. Next one is

936
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,119
horizontal up infrastructure or capital

937
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:31,520
improvements. This would be akin to like

938
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,720
extending water, sewer, uh broadband,

939
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:37,280
electricity, things of that nature that

940
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,400
might make bare ground or green field

941
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,920
attractive to commercial investment. The

942
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,119
next one, small business or

943
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:47,760
entrepreneurial revolving loan funds to

944
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,160
recapitalize those payments. Uh some

945
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,680
folks might know this is like a micro

946
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,480
fund, a microloan fund. uh there's a way

947
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,440
that uh payments could also become

948
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,440
future principal to then loan out again

949
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,280
in the future and kind of repeat the

950
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,040
cycle. This would go along with what

951
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,880
chair Sandy mentioned about

952
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,280
entrepreneurial support. And then the

953
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,560
last one is targeted corporate

954
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,960
recruitment campaign. So like Logan on

955
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,960
the edge, but this one is are there

956
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,320
particular industries that you would

957
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,240
like me to go out and specifically go

958
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:19,280
target and woo to Cash County? Maybe

959
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,520
it's food processing, value ad

960
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,119
processing, or something of that nature.

961
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:24,160
>> Trader Joe's.

962
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:24,880
>> Say again.

963
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,800
>> Trader Joe's.

964
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,880
>> Got Costco. Got Target. You know, it's

965
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,800
the next one in the cross.

966
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:31,280
>> Sorry.

967
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,720
>> No. No. It

968
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:35,280
>> maybe the last text you received for me

969
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:35,920
or text.

970
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,520
>> Yep. Yep. Uh, very fair. We do have some

971
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,400
challenging um demographics for

972
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,400
discretionary spending per household for

973
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,680
Trader Joe's. We don't.

974
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,280
>> But I don't think it's What's that?

975
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,200
>> We don't. just make it happen.

976
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,839
>> Okay. Noted. And ma'am, yes, ma'am. Uh

977
00:38:53,839 --> 00:38:56,320
so it would be things of that nature. Uh

978
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,079
one that's coming up as an example. I'm

979
00:38:58,079 --> 00:39:00,240
not scheduled to go to it or attend it.

980
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:03,359
Um but it's a manufacturing conference

981
00:39:03,359 --> 00:39:04,960
that's advanced manufacturing in

982
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,520
Chicago. Happens every other year. You

983
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,680
might, for example, decide that that's

984
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,680
something you want me to try to get

985
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,680
particular companies that the CEO board

986
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,079
and others uh could help vet and be

987
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:17,440
like, "Okay, they're expected to be

988
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:18,640
there. Want you to go make an

989
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,040
introduction given the metrics, uh,

990
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,320
demographics, um, you know, supply chain

991
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,000
elements of our community and tell them

992
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,240
that we'd really like them to be here."

993
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:30,079
So, that's that. That's the annual

994
00:39:30,079 --> 00:39:32,320
report. Um, council members, I really

995
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,760
appreciate again the time to to give

996
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,480
this to you each year and to take away

997
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,640
from you uh your guidance and how you

998
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,640
might want me to start working on an

999
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,000
application between now and the next

1000
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,560
meeting before you. So, I welcome any of

1001
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,880
that feedback at this time.

1002
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,720
>> So, back to the the the three that you

1003
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:52,720
want us to approve that so that you can

1004
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:54,400
put that in the application or give you

1005
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,240
a different idea if we have one.

1006
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:56,960
>> Yes, ma'am.

1007
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,119
>> Okay, perfect. And we need to do that by

1008
00:39:59,119 --> 00:40:03,119
a vote, a legislative vote. Okay. I'm

1009
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:06,240
always not sure. Okay. Does anyone have

1010
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:08,320
some ideas or discussions about that? Do

1011
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,359
we want to um wait two weeks to do it?

1012
00:40:11,359 --> 00:40:13,359
Um think about it. You want to give that

1013
00:40:13,359 --> 00:40:14,800
some more thought or is someone ready to

1014
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,880
make a motion

1015
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:17,599
discussion?

1016
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:19,200
>> Two weeks would be good because he's

1017
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,480
going to come up with a contract, right?

1018
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:23,520
>> Oh, I don't know if they'll have it in

1019
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,640
two weeks, but

1020
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,880
>> Well, two weeks will help. Yeah,

1021
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,767
>> that's all I'd recommend.

1022
00:40:28,767 --> 00:40:29,200
[clears throat]

1023
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,280
>> Okay,

1024
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,720
we can certainly continue it. This is

1025
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:35,920
the first time we've um looked at this.

1026
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:36,560
>> Great.

1027
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,000
>> And I'll see what kind of work I can do

1028
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,079
with Trader Joe's. And then

1029
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:42,560
>> you've got two weeks.

1030
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,040
>> Okay.

1031
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,160
>> Thank you very much.

1032
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,400
>> Thank you, Sean. I appreciate it. Okay.

1033
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,640
It is a little past 5:30. I think we

1034
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,000
need to do our public hearings. Um,

1035
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,829

00:40:57,839 --> 00:41:01,040
» Yeah. I move to set the public hearing

00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:14,880
presentation from Jason Slight.

1088
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,800
>> Is it Slight or Slate?

1089
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,720
>> Slight.

1090
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:21,040
>> I'll say it different every time. I'm

1091
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,880
sorry.

1092
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,960
>> My name is Jason Slight. I'm an audit

1093
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,640
partner with Jones Simpkins. Uh we'll go

1094
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,040
over the audit quickly tonight. Um, our

1095
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,880
firm based here in Logan, Utah, just

1096
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,880
about a mile west of here, had the

1097
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,240
opportunity to work with the county on

1098
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:36,160
its uh, financial statement audit again

1099
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,440
this year. I presented it um, two weeks

1100
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,880
ago to the audit committee. We had a

1101
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,000
lengthy discussion about um, various

1102
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,200
information in your financial

1103
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,280
statements, how the county did, and the

1104
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,960
reports that we issued today. I'll just

1105
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,440
go over those reports really quickly.

1106
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,280
Um, we issue four reports in a

1107
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,200
governmental audit in in this case at

1108
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,520
least. Uh the first is found on page

1109
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,280
one. Uh it's a auditor's report that

1110
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,560
includes our opinion um regarding the

1111
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,000
fairness of the presentation of the

1112
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,440
financial statements, the information in

1113
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,240
the financial statements. Um that

1114
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:12,400
opinion is across all opinion units. The

1115
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,480
county has multiple opinion units. Um

1116
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,200
these financial statements include

1117
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,280
um 20 separate funds um which are a set

1118
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,960
of self-balancing accounts. There's your

1119
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,640
general fund, CCC CCCOG fund, and then

1120
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,640
several non- major funds. There's um

1121
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,800
>> two custodial funds that are included.

1122
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,960
Um there's your entitywide governmental

1123
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,119
activities, and then your aggreate

1124
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:38,640
aggregate discreetly presented component

1125
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,400
units, which is which consists of three

1126
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,839
component units, the health department,

1127
00:44:41,839 --> 00:44:45,920
the airport, and the NPIC. So that first

1128
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,040
report on page one encompasses all of

1129
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,599
those opinion units. And as you can see

1130
00:44:51,599 --> 00:44:54,319
in in the very first second paragraph of

1131
00:44:54,319 --> 00:44:56,079
page one, we issue an opinion that these

1132
00:44:56,079 --> 00:44:58,000
financial statements are presented in

1133
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,359
accordance with generally accepted

1134
00:44:59,359 --> 00:45:01,440
accounting principles. That's based on

1135
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,599
the audit that we performed in

1136
00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:04,800
accordance with generally accepted

1137
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,720
auditing standards which include

1138
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,440
performing risk assessments. Uh focusing

1139
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,920
on the riskiest areas. Um we'll use

1140
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,079
sampling approaches to less risky areas

1141
00:45:14,079 --> 00:45:17,280
or to smaller areas. Uh we'll look at uh

1142
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,760
supporting documentation for your larger

1143
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,280
more significant risky items. Um we also

1144
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,040
look at the county's design of its

1145
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,800
internal controls, the functionality of

1146
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,880
those controls, whether or not we see

1147
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,560
any deficiencies or weakness in the

1148
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,880
controls or in the design or function of

1149
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:38,079
those controls um and u and then and

1150
00:45:38,079 --> 00:45:40,800
then report based on materiality. Uh

1151
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,079
materiality is um an interesting term

1152
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:46,240
but basically what it means is if

1153
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:47,680
something is being omitted from these

1154
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,280
financial statements and a reasonable

1155
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,040
user of the financial statements were to

1156
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,599
change their opinion um based on the

1157
00:45:55,599 --> 00:45:57,280
understanding that something was omitted

1158
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,040
that would be considered material. Um

1159
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,760
as of as I mentioned earlier we didn't

1160
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,880
identify anything that would be

1161
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,480
considered material that's been omitted

1162
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,079
from these financial statements. So

1163
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:09,839
that's the first uh auditor's report.

1164
00:46:09,839 --> 00:46:14,880
The second one is um on page 104

1165
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,119
um which is a report that's issued in

1166
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:19,440
accordance with governmental accounting

1167
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:20,800
standards or governmental auditing

1168
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,079
standards [clears throat]

1169
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:24,240
um where we we will let you know if we

1170
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:25,920
identified any weaknesses or

1171
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,000
deficiencies in your controls or any

1172
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,400
non-compliance with grants or other

1173
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,119
agreements um throughout our audit

1174
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:35,040
process. And I'll get to that later, but

1175
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,640
I just quickly we did not have any

1176
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,079
findings this year and I I'll highlight

1177
00:46:38,079 --> 00:46:40,240
that in a little bit. Um the third

1178
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:45,440
report is um on page 106. It's a report

1179
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,560
regarding the county's compliance with

1180
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,520
um specific federal audit compliance

1181
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,400
requirements um associated with federal

1182
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,880
expenditures. Um when the county spends

1183
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,400
more than a million dollars in federal

1184
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,920
funds, it's required to have what's

1185
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,079
called a single audit in accordance with

1186
00:47:02,079 --> 00:47:03,760
the uniform guidance which which is

1187
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,839
issued by the Office of Management and

1188
00:47:05,839 --> 00:47:09,280
Budget or the White House. Um, we are

1189
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,319
required to test 40% of your federal

1190
00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:14,000
expenditures. You have 14 million in

1191
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,400
federal expenditures across all units

1192
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,880
this year. Um, we tested three programs

1193
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,240
actually all at the health department

1194
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:24,400
this year. Um, and we have no findings

1195
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,720
related to those. Those were uh the WIC

1196
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:29,280
program, substance abuse, and an um

1197
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,480
epidemiology grant. And then finally on

1198
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,680
page um 113, the state of Utah requires

1199
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,480
us to test the county's compliance with

1200
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,240
various compliance requirements and

1201
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:44,880
statutes, various state law items. Um

1202
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,800
those there are certain requirements

1203
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,560
that we test every year like your

1204
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,160
budget. Are you are you passing a

1205
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,160
budget? Are you passing amendments

1206
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,160
appropriately? Are your expenditures

1207
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,240
exceeding your budget? Things like that.

1208
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:58,960
Um and then certain things that rotate

1209
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,520
um whether or not your cash management

1210
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,400
process is is appropriate. Um we have no

1211
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,640
findings with with that um state

1212
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,680
compliance um requirement. Um if you'll

1213
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,400
turn to page 109, it's basically a

1214
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,079
summary of what it's it's called the

1215
00:48:14,079 --> 00:48:15,680
schedule of findings of end question

1216
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,920
costs. Um it's basically a summary of

1217
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,319
what I just went over and all the

1218
00:48:20,319 --> 00:48:22,480
different um

1219
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,559
uh reports that we've issued. It lets

1220
00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:27,440
you know that we've um issued unmodified

1221
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,760
opinion on your financial statements and

1222
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,720
that we've identified no no um

1223
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:34,400
weaknesses that would be considered

1224
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,839
material weaknesses in your internal

1225
00:48:35,839 --> 00:48:38,000
controls or in your controls over

1226
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
compliance with your federal programs

1227
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,359
and we haven't identified any

1228
00:48:41,359 --> 00:48:44,160
significant deficiencies. Um that's an

1229
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,680
improvement from last year. Last year we

1230
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:46,880
had one material weakness and one

1231
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,319
significant deficiency. Um, I mentioned

1232
00:48:50,319 --> 00:48:52,160
this in our audit committee meeting, but

1233
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,680
the county's policies and procedures

1234
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:58,319
have always been really well written and and in really good shape. Um, the

1235
00:48:58,319 --> 00:48:59,839
material weaknesses and deficiencies

1236
00:48:59,839 --> 00:49:02,000
have been because of a significant or

1237
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,599
material adjustments that were required

1238
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:06,079
to bring these financial statements to a

1239
00:49:06,079 --> 00:49:09,760
material correct position. Um, those adjustments weren't required this

1240
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,000
year and I attribute a lot of that to

1241
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,480
your your team. We work a lot with Matt,

1242
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,040
Britney, um, in the finance department,

1243
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,880
um, and then Craig in the treasur's

1244
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,800
office and then several other groups

1245
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:25,200
within throughout the county. Um, but we didn't have any significant

1246
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:30,319
adjustments this year. Um, and uh, I

1247
00:49:30,319 --> 00:49:32,720
think a lot of it was was attributed to

1248
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:34,480
just turnover that was happening.

1249
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,319
There's been quite a bit of turnover the

1250
00:49:36,319 --> 00:49:38,720
last few years, some changes um, in in

1251
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:40,559
how the uh, county has approached its

1252
00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:42,960
financial reporting.

1253
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,559
um the roles and um so I think that was

1254
00:49:46,559 --> 00:49:48,000
what was causing most of it, but your

1255
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,440
policies and procedures have always been

1256
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,960
good and so no findings there this year.

1257
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,680
Um and I think I'll leave it at that as

1258
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,359
far as the highlights of how the county

1259
00:49:57,359 --> 00:50:00,640
did county had a good year. Um, when you

1260
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,000
look at the county as a whole and you

1261
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,280
include all of its assets and its

1262
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,040
liabilities, including like its capital

1263
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,960
assets, which would be like roads,

1264
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,640
buildings, and things like that, you

1265
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,640
added $3 million roughly to the bottom

1266
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,319
line. Um, from like a budget basis, um,

1267
00:50:14,319 --> 00:50:17,359
were more break even. So, your your

1268
00:50:17,359 --> 00:50:19,280
expenditures pretty much matched the

1269
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,119
revenues that came in if you're looking

1270
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:23,839
at it more like a cash basis or or a

1271
00:50:23,839 --> 00:50:27,599
budget basis. So, um, uh, property taxes

1272
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:30,000
and and sales taxes were pretty big

1273
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,760
increases this year, but you had

1274
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,720
expenses go up as well. Um, open space

1275
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:37,280
purchases, things like that. So, all the

1276
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,880
break even year from a budget

1277
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,069
perspective.

1278
00:50:42,079 --> 00:50:43,200
» Any questions for me?

1279
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:44,880
>> I I have some questions.

1280
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:53,109
>> Okay. Did you go to page 81?

1281
00:50:53,119 --> 00:50:56,079
I was what I was interested in is

1282
00:50:56,079 --> 00:50:59,520
comparing our budget to the original

1283
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,839
budget, then the final budget, and then

1284
00:51:01,839 --> 00:51:03,599
the actual

1285
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:05,920
>> and then the variance.

1286
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,800
Um I I think I understand what those

1287
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,839
terms mean. Um

1288
00:51:11,839 --> 00:51:14,720
but the substance of it is is we

1289
00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:18,319
projected that we would in our final

1290
00:51:18,319 --> 00:51:22,079
budget for 2025

1291
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:26,640
we would show a loss of 5,189.

1292
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,720
>> Mhm. But but this reports that our

1293
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:35,440
actual was not a loss but a gain of 929

1294
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:40,000
increasing our fund balance by 929,000.

1295
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:40,319
Correct.

1296
00:51:40,319 --> 00:51:41,520
>> Is that correct?

1297
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,040
>> Yeah, that's within the general fund

1298
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:43,680
only.

1299
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,640
>> Okay. What I don't understand is is some

1300
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,000
math. I can't I can't make the numbers

1301
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,480
seem to get there. Let me start with the

1302
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,920
one in change in fund balance. If we

1303
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,920
have a negative 5189, we go to a

1304
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:02,720
positive 929.

1305
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:06,079
You show a difference of 4,114.

1306
00:52:06,079 --> 00:52:08,800
I don't see how that correct. It would

1307
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,680
be larger than that.

1308
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:18,400
>> I could see that. Yes, it might be a formula. And then the the preceding

1309
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,079
line which [snorts] says uh total other

1310
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:26,800
funding sources that 476 also seems to

1311
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,920
me to be in error.

1312
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,760
>> Okay, I can look into that and see.

1313
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,920
>> And then the preceding line total

1314
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,119
transfer out seems to be an error as

1315
00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:39,680
well.

1316
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:44,400
And I I don't I mean I'm I just want the

1317
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,800
numbers so we know where we are. And I

1318
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,760
don't know whether the 929's wrong or

1319
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,480
which of these is right or wrong, but

1320
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,200
the math doesn't work in the bottom part

1321
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:56,720
of that sheet.

1322
00:52:56,720 --> 00:52:59,520
>> The 929 is not incorrect. The final

1323
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,200
budget column is not incorrect. It looks

1324
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,720
like it's a it's a u formula issue in

1325
00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:06,880
the variance column.

1326
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,319
Well, I I thought that too, but when I

1327
00:53:10,319 --> 00:53:14,960
look at total transfer in of 2,445,

1328
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,760
total transfer out of 13

1329
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,960
213, and then a negative 10611.

1330
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,720
>> That's the sum of the net of those two

1331
00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:27,920
is the 10611.

1332
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:28,480
>> Pardon me.

1333
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,000
>> The net of those two numbers is the

1334
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:35,270
10611.

1335
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:36,240
Why?

1336
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:39,359
I I don't think my calculator will agree

1337
00:53:39,359 --> 00:53:41,359
with you on that

1338
00:53:41,359 --> 00:53:44,000
>> of the 132 and the 24.

1339
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,760
>> Yeah, I don't don't think that's

1340
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:46,079
correct.

1341
00:53:46,079 --> 00:53:48,160
>> It's also going to include the 156 up

1342
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:49,200

00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,800

1346
00:53:54,800 --> 00:54:00,312
differential there.

[snorts]

1348
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,319
Maybe it does, but I I'd like you to

1349
00:54:06,319 --> 00:54:09,200
correct that page if you would. So I it

1350
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,440
for my purposes in figuring out where we

1351
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,599
are financially

1352
00:54:13,599 --> 00:54:17,599
because I'm in the middle of the um 26

1353
00:54:17,599 --> 00:54:19,599
budget and I want to know where we were

1354
00:54:19,599 --> 00:54:22,960
last year and I you got to get that math

1355
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,520
correct on that. So you want to just

1356
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,319
substitute a page for that when you run

1357
00:54:28,319 --> 00:54:30,960
those calculations again, please?

1358
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,510
>> Yep.

1359
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:36,800
Thank you.

1360
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,880
>> You bet. Any other questions?

1361
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,160
>> Anybody have questions for Jason?

1362
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,800
>> Okay. Thank you so much. We appreciate

1363
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,760
>> all your hard work.

1364
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,280
>> Okay.

1365
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,200
Um, we need to take a take a vote on

1366
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,000
this. Um, do we want to hold off on that

1367
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,119
until we get that page corrected?

1368
00:55:01,119 --> 00:55:04,079
I I think it's just math. I think if if

1369
00:55:04,079 --> 00:55:07,440
the 929's correct, I don't think the

1370
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,240
variance numbers are significant. Do you

1371
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:11,680
I don't I don't

1372
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,079
>> supplementary information. So, no, it

1373
00:55:14,079 --> 00:55:15,359
doesn't.

1374
00:55:15,359 --> 00:55:19,119
>> As long as the 929 is correct, I think I

1375
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:20,480
think you should go ahead and approve

1376
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,960
it. Would you I don't see any reason not

1377
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,920
to approve the audit. I read it.

1378
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,920
Excellent audit. Most of it is just

1379
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,599
>> Okay. Does someone want to make a motion

1380
00:55:31,599 --> 00:55:33,839
on that?

1381
00:55:33,839 --> 00:55:36,720
>> I move that we accept the 2025 annual

1382
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:39,520
external audit report as presented by

1383
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,040
Joan Sim Simkins.

1384
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:41,920
>> I'll second.

1385
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,680
>> So we moved and seconded that we accept

1386
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,480
the presentation of the 2025 external

1387
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,440
audit. Is there any further discussion?

1388
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,520
Those in favor say I.

1389
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:51,920
>> I.

1390
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:58,640
>> Any opposed? Okay. Thank you. All right.

1391
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,160
The next is 6E. That would be our

1392
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,280
executive.

1393
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,839
>> Okay. Do you want me to address you from

1394
00:56:05,839 --> 00:56:07,599
this seat or do you want me to address

1395
00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:09,760
you from the podium? I think it's going

1396
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,160
to be a 10 or 15 minute back and forth

1397
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:12,880
on this.

1398
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,319
>> I think the podium might be easier for

1399
00:56:14,319 --> 00:56:17,200
those at home to hear and for us to so

1400
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,520
we're not all looking straight across.

1401
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:19,920
Okay.

1402
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,920
>> Is that okay with all of you guys?

1403
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,423
>> Yeah.

» George Danes, County Executive. Um, I've

1406
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,799
kind of found myself in the role of

1407
00:56:42,799 --> 00:56:45,040
assisting the

1408
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,440
fire board and the county council with

1409
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,760
their uh effort to create the fire

1410
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,319
district and to move forward. Um,

1411
00:56:54,319 --> 00:56:56,400
there's a number of subjects that are

1412
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,359
all in active consideration and I I

1413
00:56:59,359 --> 00:57:01,760
think if I walk through them in the list

1414
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,839
that there's there. First of all, the

1415
00:57:03,839 --> 00:57:09,359
fire district status and the board. Um,

1416
00:57:09,359 --> 00:57:12,480
in the course of trying to

1417
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,030
uh amend the bylaws,

1418
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,400
we went back and forth about issues of

1419
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,319
selection of the board members. Um,

1420
00:57:24,319 --> 00:57:27,440
there was some turmoil. Um, Amy Hugi

1421
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:32,559
resigned. We um asked attorney Mark

1422
00:57:32,559 --> 00:57:36,000
Anderson, who's experienced with to pick

1423
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,200
it up and and my directions and request

1424
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,680
was that he go back to the beginning and

1425
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,240
see what we needed to do to fix the

1426
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,920
fireboard. His initial report to me was

1427
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,720
we we have a fundamental problem with

1428
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,280
the way the fireboard

1429
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:58,160
is organized. The statute requires

1430
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,200
an appointment process for all fireboard

1431
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:05,359
members. What we had allowed to happen

1432
00:58:05,359 --> 00:58:09,680
uh was that for example when a mayor was

1433
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,720
replaced by a new mayor, we just assumed

1434
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,640
that the new mayor became the

1435
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,880
replacement on that. So that

1436
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,160
disqualified two of our board members.

1437
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,359
uh Lindseay Peterson's selection didn't

1438
00:58:25,359 --> 00:58:29,680
follow the statutory rules either. So

1439
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,960
because of those problems, his

1440
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,559
recommendation to me was that we

1441
00:58:36,559 --> 00:58:38,880
reconstitute the board and we go through

1442
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,880
the process of selecting the board

1443
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,480
members again because you can't pass

1444
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:50,400
bylaws without the board being in place.

1445
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,880
So that's that's the fundamental. So we

1446
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,319
have to kind of start over. Um the

1447
00:58:56,319 --> 00:58:59,760
process and I appreciate Andrew helping

1448
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,599
me with this. The process for

1449
00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:03,760
appointment the board is set out in the

1450
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,720
statute and it requires that you

1451
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,920
advertise for 30 days.

1452
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:14,720
And so to get a jump on that process,

1453
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,559
we have started the advertising as of

1454
00:59:18,559 --> 00:59:23,520
>> Friday. Friday and we put out a request

1455
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,920
um for

1456
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,680
uh people to apply to that board.

1457
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,480
The way that will then work is I will

1458
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,880
make u

1459
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,680
a proposed set of appointments to the

1460
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,880
county council and the county council

1461
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,440
with with the advice with your advice

1462
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,760
and consent then I will appoint members.

1463
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,799
we'd have to hold the period open for 30

1464
00:59:48,799 --> 00:59:52,880
days. So until that time, we don't have

1465
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,640
a board that can take action. The two

1466
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,440
county council members who are members

1467
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,400
of the board, Dave Ericson and Katherine

1468
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,400
Bu do not need to go through that

1469
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,160
process.

1470
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,839
So they they are appropriate board

1471
01:00:09,839 --> 01:00:12,720
members. Um I believe that Larry

1472
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:16,559
Jacobson would also be u went through

1473
01:00:16,559 --> 01:00:19,920
the correct process and so he's also an

1474
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,480
appropriate board member. But rather

1475
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,880
than worry about that

1476
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,400
what we've done is requested that uh

1477
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,359
people apply and so I will come back at

1478
01:00:33,359 --> 01:00:37,119
the end of 30 days with a proposal to

1479
01:00:37,119 --> 01:00:41,040
make appointment. It is my intent,

1480
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,079
not a decision, but it's my intent to

1481
01:00:44,079 --> 01:00:47,280
ask the mayors who have been serving and

1482
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,160
who were elected to those positions to

1483
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:54,559
serve on the fire board. Um, and the

1484
01:00:54,559 --> 01:00:58,880
fireboard group has suggested that we

1485
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,319
enlarge the number of mayors and so I

1486
01:01:02,319 --> 01:01:05,359
will come back with a list that matches

1487
01:01:05,359 --> 01:01:08,400
what they had proposed in their bylaws,

1488
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,200
but the bylaws will have to be approved

1489
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,680
after we have legal appointments to the

1490
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,920
board.

1491
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,720
So, any questions about that? You

1492
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:22,240
enlarge the enlarge the number of

1493
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,839
members,

1494
01:01:23,839 --> 01:01:26,319
but we are not specifically advertising

1495
01:01:26,319 --> 01:01:28,079
just for mayors.

1496
01:01:28,079 --> 01:01:28,559
>> Right.

1497
01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:29,280
>> Okay.

1498
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:33,680
>> Yeah. What what I'm hopeful, Dave, is

1499
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,520
that we'll get um

1500
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,520
applicants that would fill the slots

1501
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:47,839
by city and by um district. and that we

1502
01:01:47,839 --> 01:01:50,640
can then appoint from that. Uh I'm

1503
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,160
actively recruiting mayors to file

1504
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:55,760
applications

1505
01:01:55,760 --> 01:02:00,000
and um but that will be my decision and

1506
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,240
yours when we have our full list of

1507
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,760
applicants.

1508
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,400
Um I at this point I know I have four

1509
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:10,400
applicants which is um

1510
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,480
>> I would not don't disclose those yet.

1511
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,040
>> Okay. All right. Anyway, I have four

1512
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,280
applicants at this point.

1513
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,559
the the budget

1514
01:02:20,559 --> 01:02:23,839
>> the budget awaits the the appointment of

1515
01:02:23,839 --> 01:02:26,880
the fire board. Um

1516
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,200
>> George, may I? So, first is the

1517
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,520
appointment of the fire board, then the

1518
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,960
approval of the bylaws from this body.

1519
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,520
>> Well, um actually it's the fire board

1520
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:38,799
that will approve the

1521
01:02:38,799 --> 01:02:40,720
>> Okay. Okay. And so we this body does not

1522
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:41,760
need to approve the bylaws.

1523
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,839
>> Yeah. I I think what we'll do is we'll

1524
01:02:43,839 --> 01:02:46,400
show you the bylaws to to get your

1525
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,799
commentary about them, but the bylaws

1526
01:02:48,799 --> 01:02:51,119
are typically done by the organization

1527
01:02:51,119 --> 01:02:54,480
whose bylaws they are.

1528
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:55,599
>> Okay.

1529
01:02:55,599 --> 01:02:58,559
>> So, how many board members do you need?

1530
01:02:58,559 --> 01:02:59,119
>> Well,

1531
01:02:59,119 --> 01:03:00,400
>> you have a number.

1532
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,319
>> The proposal is 11, but that again is

1533
01:03:04,319 --> 01:03:09,040
for the board to decide how many. Um,

1534
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:13,510
I will make u

1535
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,240
a recommendation

1536
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,280
for the number that would accumulate to

1537
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,720
a total of 11 because that's what I

1538
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,440
anticipate the bylaws will be. But until

1539
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:30,400
the bylaws are passed, I'm kind of

1540
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,640
chicken or the egg sort of a situation.

1541
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:33,440
Joanne,

1542
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,760
>> what's the minimum number right now?

1543
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,839
>> Pardon me. What's the minimum number

1544
01:03:37,839 --> 01:03:40,559
right now?

1545
01:03:40,559 --> 01:03:41,280
>> Isn't it three?

1546
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:41,680
>> Three.

1547
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:43,920
>> There isn't a minimum number in the

1548
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,319
state statute. There neither a minimum

1549
01:03:46,319 --> 01:03:49,280
nor a maximum in the state statute.

1550
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:50,559
>> But if we go back to our original

1551
01:03:50,559 --> 01:03:53,119
bylaws, it's the three members.

1552
01:03:53,119 --> 01:03:55,039
>> Yeah. I mean, you you could go back to

1553
01:03:55,039 --> 01:03:59,680
that three or you could um Anyway,

1554
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,359
that's that's to be dealt with later.

1555
01:04:03,359 --> 01:04:05,359
And we do have three right now at least

1556
01:04:05,359 --> 01:04:06,799
because you mentioned Dave, Katherine,

1557
01:04:06,799 --> 01:04:07,599
and Larry.

1558
01:04:07,599 --> 01:04:09,440
>> The executive and the executive.

1559
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,480
>> Oh, so four.

1560
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:11,359
>> No. Yeah.

1561
01:04:11,359 --> 01:04:13,839
>> Or the bonafide ones right now.

1562
01:04:13,839 --> 01:04:15,520
>> I think so.

1563
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,630
>> Okay.

1564
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:28,079
Okay, with respect to the budget, of the current county fire department

1565
01:04:28,079 --> 01:04:31,440
would would be the budget for the

1566
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,079
remainder of this year. They will set a

1567
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:37,280
new budget for when the fire district

1568
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,240
takes over the county fire department,

1569
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:44,240
which we anticipate could be as early as

1570
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,960
October or as late as sometime next

1571
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,839
year. But until that time, the county

1572
01:04:49,839 --> 01:04:54,870
fire budget will govern their budget.

1573
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:59,359
Um, the levy, provided we get a legal

1574
01:04:59,359 --> 01:05:01,520
board appointed

1575
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,319
by the August September period, they

1576
01:05:04,319 --> 01:05:06,799
will be in a position to set the levy

1577
01:05:06,799 --> 01:05:12,000
for the 2027 tax year. We're we're our

1578
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,960
schedule is such that unless there is a

1579
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,520
problem, we think we will make that

1580
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,200
standard. [clears throat] And right now

1581
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,400
the U north committee and the south

1582
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,760
steering committees are working to work

1583
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,160
on that budget. They're they're meeting

1584
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,160
and they're actively involved in doing

1585
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,280
it. We haven't stopped the process while

1586
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,440
we get this board problem straightened

1587
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:42,000
out. But um I spent

1588
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,039
six hours beginning at 9:00 until about

1589
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:47,920
2:30 today working with the south

1590
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,760
committee. That's the third or fourth

1591
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,720
meeting I've attended there. I've I've

1592
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,839
also attended meetings in the north. So

1593
01:05:55,839 --> 01:05:59,039
they're actively working on their budget

1594
01:05:59,039 --> 01:06:02,240
on what the levy will be, what personnel

1595
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:05,039
are needed. Uh, Chief George has been

1596
01:06:05,039 --> 01:06:07,520
involved with that and been very helpful

1597
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:11,359
to everyone and I must say he's he's

1598
01:06:11,359 --> 01:06:13,440
done a very good job of providing

1599
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,640
information that's helping them decide

1600
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,680
how the fire district would operate and

1601
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,440
what the alternatives are.

1602
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:27,280
Um, it it also says establishment of a

1603
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,599
county municipal services tax. Let me

1604
01:06:29,599 --> 01:06:33,039
explain what we're talking about there.

1605
01:06:33,039 --> 01:06:34,720
Um,

1606
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,359
right now

1607
01:06:37,359 --> 01:06:40,799
the fire district or the county fire

1608
01:06:40,799 --> 01:06:44,880
department covers all of Cash County

1609
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:46,960
outside of Logan. Now, some of the

1610
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,839
cities have contracted to provide

1611
01:06:49,839 --> 01:06:52,319
services to obtain their services from

1612
01:06:52,319 --> 01:06:55,680
Logan City or other cities, but the fact

1613
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,920
the matter is is everything outside of

1614
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,520
Logan is um

1615
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,319
involved in the fire district. But

1616
01:07:04,319 --> 01:07:07,440
there's a there's a taxation problem in

1617
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,680
that if you're in a city, you're paying

1618
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,799
taxes to the city for your municipal

1619
01:07:14,799 --> 01:07:17,280
fire department and you're paying a

1620
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:21,200
county um taxes for the county fire

1621
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:23,200
department. So there's there's two

1622
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,680
levels of taxation

1623
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,319
that are occurring. But if you're in the

1624
01:07:28,319 --> 01:07:31,119
unincorporated area, you're not paying

1625
01:07:31,119 --> 01:07:33,039
the same amount that a person in the

1626
01:07:33,039 --> 01:07:35,520
city is, but you're receiving the same

1627
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,200
service.

1628
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,240
So for example, if you live within the

1629
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:44,640
boundaries of Mend City, you're paying

1630
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:50,160
um Mend City uh 400 mil, 300 mil,

1631
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,000
something like that on your property

1632
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,160
taxes that would go and you're also

1633
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,720
paying an assessment with your water

1634
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:00,799
bill every month for fire and EMS

1635
01:08:00,799 --> 01:08:05,029
service.

1636
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:08,799
But residents of Manden city are also

1637
01:08:08,799 --> 01:08:12,720
paying the county tax. People who live

1638
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,119
right outside the boundary of Mendon are

1639
01:08:15,119 --> 01:08:17,359
paying the county but not paying

1640
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:19,920
anything toward the city. But the city

1641
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,199
covers both areas equally.

1642
01:08:23,199 --> 01:08:26,159
So that's that's a problem. And what

1643
01:08:26,159 --> 01:08:30,239
we're proposing is that the county levy

1644
01:08:30,239 --> 01:08:34,080
a municipal services tax that's roughly

1645
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:38,400
equivalent to what citizens inside the

1646
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:43,199
city pay for fire service.

1647
01:08:43,199 --> 01:08:46,080
So so that it would equalize between the

1648
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,159
incorporated and the unincorporated

1649
01:08:48,159 --> 01:08:51,040
areas. So that if you're in the Mend

1650
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:55,199
fire area, which includes both Mend City

1651
01:08:55,199 --> 01:08:59,279
and the area around Menden, you'd pay

1652
01:08:59,279 --> 01:09:02,400
roughly the same amount. Not exactly,

1653
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,960
but roughly the same amount. The same

1654
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:09,600
thing would be uh around Paradise. If

1655
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,319
the same situation exists there, there

1656
01:09:12,319 --> 01:09:15,839
are more citizens in the Mend fire area

1657
01:09:15,839 --> 01:09:18,799
that live outside of Mendon than live in

1658
01:09:18,799 --> 01:09:21,440
Mendon. But Mendon serves the whole

1659
01:09:21,440 --> 01:09:25,440
group equally. Same thing with Paradise.

1660
01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:28,799
Same thing with your area Nolan is

1661
01:09:28,799 --> 01:09:31,199
you're covered by either Wellsville or

1662
01:09:31,199 --> 01:09:34,560
High. Same situation. So what we would

1663
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,759
do with the municipal services tax is we

1664
01:09:37,759 --> 01:09:40,799
would take the unincorporated area and

1665
01:09:40,799 --> 01:09:43,679
levy a tax that's roughly equivalent to

1666
01:09:43,679 --> 01:09:45,679
what you would pay if you were within a

1667
01:09:45,679 --> 01:09:48,799
city. Now we'll determine

1668
01:09:48,799 --> 01:09:51,199
the council will determine what level of

1669
01:09:51,199 --> 01:09:54,320
that is but that gives us a mechanism to

1670
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,520
equalize the two groups.

1671
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:05,030
Any questions about that?

1672
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,360
Okay. Anything else that you have

1673
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,199
questions or you'd like to ask about

1674
01:10:09,199 --> 01:10:12,080
what we're doing? U I should just say

1675
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:16,560
that um again, Chief George is providing

1676
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,520
is a is a primary source of information

1677
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,960
about alternatives and how it's being

1678
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,679
run. Um, both areas of the county are

1679
01:10:27,679 --> 01:10:30,480
working on it and I think they'll have

1680
01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:32,880
proposals ready

1681
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,880
um in late August, early September and

1682
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,199
you're you're going to get a chance to

1683
01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:41,520
look at all of that before it goes into

1684
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,480
effect.

1685
01:10:44,480 --> 01:10:48,400
So do you anticipate this will be an

1686
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,440
increase for the citizens like in Mendon

1687
01:10:51,440 --> 01:10:55,199
or outside of Mendon or will it be a

1688
01:10:55,199 --> 01:10:56,400
decrease?

1689
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,760
>> It it depends on on the level of fire

1690
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,960
service they want. Our rough

1691
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:04,480
calculations

1692
01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:07,360
are that it will be pretty close to the

1693
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:10,159
same but the revenue will be

1694
01:11:10,159 --> 01:11:12,719
reallocated. That is the the amount of

1695
01:11:12,719 --> 01:11:15,760
money we spend on fire will be roughly

1696
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,520
the same the total dollar spent but it

1697
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,520
will be reallocated

1698
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,840
be between who's paying it. For example,

1699
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:30,480
I have a property in Logan City

1700
01:11:30,480 --> 01:11:32,719
and another property that's in Cash

1701
01:11:32,719 --> 01:11:34,640
County. I just got my notice of

1702
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,400
valuation

1703
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:40,239
on my Cash County uh

1704
01:11:40,239 --> 01:11:43,040
notice. I have a thing called the Cash

1705
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,520
County Fire Fund.

1706
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:47,760
That fund doesn't exist on my Logan

1707
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,960
City. So that

1708
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:51,760
um

1709
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,840
>> it's kind of hard to equate it. Right.

1710
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,320
>> Right. But but it isn't that the county

1711
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,040
has increased the bill, but they're no

1712
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,840
longer charging Logan for county fire

1713
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,560
service. So the the same dollars are

1714
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,000
being spent, but they're going to be

1715
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,960
reallocated. That's also true to some

1716
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:12,400
extent in the unincorporated area, which

1717
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,920
has underpaid compared to the cities

1718
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,560
outside of Logan. So there's going to be

1719
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,120
reallocation. So there people are going

1720
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,600
to see differences in their property

1721
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:28,800
taxes because of this. Um,

1722
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:32,640
my cash county general fund has gone

1723
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:36,800
down. That is what I pay

1724
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,159
to the cash county general fund has gone

1725
01:12:40,159 --> 01:12:43,199
down because you've separated the fire

1726
01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:45,199
to just the unincorporated. So, one has

1727
01:12:45,199 --> 01:12:49,520
gone down and one has gone up. Joanne,

1728
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:52,000
>> if you only have land in the county and

1729
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:53,679
it's in the unincorporated area, you're

1730
01:12:53,679 --> 01:12:56,719
going to see a pretty good tax increase.

1731
01:12:56,719 --> 01:12:59,840
>> If you're in a city which has been

1732
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,560
>> supporting a regular fire department, I

1733
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,040
don't know that it'll change that much,

1734
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:06,880
but it just depends.

1735
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,360
>> But it doesn't specify how much is going

1736
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:15,360
to fire in the Logan City one, right? It has the amount of our county fire

1737
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:19,280
budget is set right in the tax notice at

1738
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,550
3,99370.

1739
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,880
That's that's that's

1740
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,159
what has been allocated to the Cash

1741
01:13:28,159 --> 01:13:29,440
County Fire Fund.

1742
01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:31,520
>> Or did you mean in Logan City? What

1743
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,520
percentage of our taxes are being

1744
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:35,840
allocated specifically to fire services?

1745
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:38,400
if it indicated or if it's a lump sum

1746
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,360
including other things or if the fire is

1747
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:44,560
separated on your bill so that you know

1748
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:45,199
how much.

1749
01:13:45,199 --> 01:13:47,600
>> Yeah, there's a specific line that says

1750
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:48,320
>> Okay,

1751
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:53,040
>> Cash County Fire Fund and my my

1752
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:54,640
assessment

1753
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,120
for the general fund of Cash County has

1754
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,440
gone down.

1755
01:13:59,440 --> 01:14:02,320
Okay,

1756
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,320
>> I just need some clarity. You mentioned

1757
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,920
that we would decide the tax that's in

1758
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,000
the unincorporated,

1759
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,239
but where does the district decide that?

1760
01:14:12,239 --> 01:14:13,760
Is that

1761
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,480
>> Can you well clarify between the two,

1762
01:14:16,480 --> 01:14:17,920
the fire district and the council?

1763
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:22,239
>> Yeah. Yeah, I will. The um the cities

1764
01:14:22,239 --> 01:14:24,239
decide what they're going to tax their

1765
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:27,760
citizens for fire. We're going to make

1766
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,560
the same decision for the unincorporated

1767
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:34,080
area, but it will it will be just that

1768
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,280
slice that is roughly equivalent to what

1769
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,159
the cities are doing. But then the

1770
01:14:40,159 --> 01:14:43,440
entire unincorporate or the entire area

1771
01:14:43,440 --> 01:14:46,719
outside of Logan is taxed on the fire

1772
01:14:46,719 --> 01:14:49,440
district. The fire district includes the

1773
01:14:49,440 --> 01:14:52,239
cities and the unincorporated area where

1774
01:14:52,239 --> 01:14:55,120
our municipal services levy if you

1775
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:58,239
choose to do this will only include the

1776
01:14:58,239 --> 01:15:01,199
unincorporated county. So essentially,

1777
01:15:01,199 --> 01:15:04,000
if you take a mendon citizen, he's going

1778
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,719
to have his a portion of his fire and

1779
01:15:06,719 --> 01:15:09,199
EMS costs going to be paid through the

1780
01:15:09,199 --> 01:15:12,159
city general fund and a portion is going

1781
01:15:12,159 --> 01:15:14,960
to be paid the cash county and they're

1782
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:16,960
going to put those two together to take

1783
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,000
care of the citizens in Mend. The

1784
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,440
citizens who live in the men fire area,

1785
01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:24,080
>> Petersburg,

1786
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,360
>> are now going to pay a a municipal

1787
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:30,480
services levy to Cash County

1788
01:15:30,480 --> 01:15:33,040
and the county.

1789
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,840
So, so they will be roughly equivalent

1790
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,239
and and that money will come to Cash

1791
01:15:38,239 --> 01:15:40,640
County and we will go to Mend and say,

1792
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,320
"Mend, you need to provide equivalent

1793
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,719
fire service for those unincorporated

1794
01:15:46,719 --> 01:15:50,000
citizen that are in the Mend fire area

1795
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:55,600
that are not within your city that and that will be money under your

1796
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:59,040
control to do that with."

1797
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,440
>> So, I have a question. So is this

1798
01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:03,920
arrangement predicated on the assumption

1799
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,000
that all the cities will continue to

1800
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:07,840
participate

1801
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,880
or are there is there a possibility that

1802
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,520
some may say we don't want to contribute

1803
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,600
to this district anymore we can do it

1804
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,480
ourselves and would that change the

1805
01:16:18,480 --> 01:16:20,159
calculation by which all the other

1806
01:16:20,159 --> 01:16:22,480
participating cities would pay into it?

1807
01:16:22,480 --> 01:16:25,520
The the answer is is because we're using

1808
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,880
vouchers, it won't change much because

1809
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:32,400
if for example, North Logan said we want

1810
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:35,920
out of the fire district. Okay, that

1811
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,159
means we would no longer they would no

1812
01:16:38,159 --> 01:16:40,960
longer pay into this fire fund, but we

1813
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:42,719
wouldn't be giving them a voucher for

1814
01:16:42,719 --> 01:16:44,560
the money that was collected from them

1815
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,520
either.

1816
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:49,760
>> So, it's up to them to decide how they

1817
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:50,960
want to reallocate.

1818
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:54,159
>> We only have one city that seems to be

1819
01:16:54,159 --> 01:16:57,280
considering that right now and and it's

1820
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,040
really up to them what they choose to

1821
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,239
do. That that city is um buying the

1822
01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:05,360
services from Logan. We're going to turn

1823
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,760
over virtually everything we collect to

1824
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,360
that city in a voucher because we're not

1825
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,320
providing fire service to them. So if

1826
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,800
they feel like they're better off to be

1827
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:18,960
out, it's not going to change the

1828
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,280
financial metrics that we're working

1829
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,840
with because we're not planning on using

1830
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:27,120
the money collected in that city to run

1831
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,440
the fire district.

1832
01:17:29,440 --> 01:17:32,239
It's the operation. We would be taking

1833
01:17:32,239 --> 01:17:35,120
that money and giving it back. I've got

1834
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:38,080
a well, let's see if I've got it here.

1835
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:42,159
I've got a big sheet here of

1836
01:17:42,159 --> 01:17:45,600
that's a year and a half of the budget

1837
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:50,080
for the prospective fire district. And

1838
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:51,679
um

1839
01:17:51,679 --> 01:17:55,199
I guess I should turn it right side up.

1840
01:17:55,199 --> 01:17:57,280
Probably so small you can't see it, but

1841
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,000
essentially it shows a great deal of the

1842
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,480
money that's coming in is going to go

1843
01:18:02,480 --> 01:18:04,640
back out to the cities because they're

1844
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,440
providing their own service.

1845
01:18:07,440 --> 01:18:10,400
For example, Smithfield doesn't get much

1846
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,320
in the way of fire services from the

1847
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,120
fire district. So, they're going to get

1848
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,040
almost all of the money that's collected

1849
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:18,560
in Smithfield will go back to

1850
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,280
Smithfield. Same thing with Providence

1851
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,719
and and so forth.

1852
01:18:24,719 --> 01:18:26,480
>> I see. It's It's like you're in a

1853
01:18:26,480 --> 01:18:28,000
cafeteria and everyone has a meal

1854
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:29,600
ticket, but if you bring your own lunch,

1855
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:31,040
then you get credit for the

1856
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:32,400
>> Yeah. lunch.

1857
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,679
>> That's way it works. And it's not down

1858
01:18:35,679 --> 01:18:38,400
to the penny. Keegan, but it it's

1859
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,800
designed to be roughly fair

1860
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:42,320
>> and

1861
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,880
the hope is there's enough cities that

1862
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,120
want to participate in it that it's

1863
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:49,440
efficient and coste effective to

1864
01:18:49,440 --> 01:18:53,040
continue to provide the service. Um,

1865
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,199
Chief George and I spent the morning on

1866
01:18:55,199 --> 01:18:58,640
this trying to go through how much it

1867
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,159
would cost to provide EMS service

1868
01:19:02,159 --> 01:19:04,800
through the district in the southern

1869
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,800
area and how much would have to be

1870
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:10,880
collected to make that work and um it

1871
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,880
it's kind of coming together keen is

1872
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,080
what I would say. So, George, we have a

1873
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,760
meeting of the fire board. I don't know

1874
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,400
who it's it constitutes right now, but

1875
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:26,400
it's scheduled for August 6th. Um,

1876
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:28,880
it it will still be in open public

1877
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:30,560
meeting or

1878
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,960
>> I don't think we can take any action at

1879
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:34,880
that meeting, but I don't think it's a

1880
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,360
bad idea. They they should all listen, I

1881
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,040
think, and hear all of this information

1882
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:40,800
as well

1883
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,520
>> because they will eventually many of

1884
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,199
them may be members of the board.

1885
01:19:45,199 --> 01:19:48,560
>> Yeah, Katherine, I'm I am taking this

1886
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:50,400
information to them. They are aware of

1887
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:53,520
what I'm explaining to you today, but I

1888
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,159
think it's a good idea to do that. I

1889
01:19:56,159 --> 01:19:58,880
think we put out a public notice so the

1890
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:01,440
public can be there. the fact that we

1891
01:20:01,440 --> 01:20:03,600
don't take any action. There's a lot of

1892
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:05,120
times you have a meeting and don't take

1893
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:07,120
any action. And I think that's what we

1894
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:10,239
ought to do is we ought to take the uh

1895
01:20:10,239 --> 01:20:12,640
mayors who have been serving on it, who

1896
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,360
are knowledgeable, put them on, put them

1897
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,600
up and talk through it and explain what

1898
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,520
we're doing and get input.

1899
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:21,840
>> Will Mark Anderson be able to be in

1900
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:23,360
attendance to build some of our

1901
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:23,840
questions?

1902
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:25,440
>> I think he will be able to be in

1903
01:20:25,440 --> 01:20:27,840
attendance. He's he's given us some

1904
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,320
opinions already. He's he's encouraged

1905
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:33,920
us to get the application process out.

1906
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:37,280
Um it's it's really rather simple the

1907
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,000
appointment process.

1908
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:40,480
>> Yeah.

1909
01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:43,199
>> And and like I've said, I my my

1910
01:20:43,199 --> 01:20:46,400
disposition depending on who applies is

1911
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,360
to probably use the mayors as the

1912
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:53,120
initial board, but I think over time it

1913
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,120
will make sense for some of those people

1914
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:59,440
to be replaced by fire professionals.

1915
01:20:59,440 --> 01:21:01,760
And by the way, the group that I met

1916
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:04,640
with this morning, which was the the

1917
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,360
group in the south, are really anxious

1918
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:11,520
to have Chief George be re retain the

1919
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:14,159
title of being the district fire chief

1920
01:21:14,159 --> 01:21:17,199
and assist them in operating the fire

1921
01:21:17,199 --> 01:21:18,719
district.

1922
01:21:18,719 --> 01:21:20,239
Um

1923
01:21:20,239 --> 01:21:23,280
he is wellliked and well respected. So I

1924
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:26,080
think I think things are are coming

1925
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:29,120
together in that effort.

1926
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:30,800
Dave,

1927
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,840
>> Matt may be the one might answer this

1928
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,199
question. And on the municipal on this

1929
01:21:37,199 --> 01:21:42,000
possible county municipal services tax,

1930
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:46,400
is this only is this only applied to uh

1931
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:50,000
improvements or is it applied to raw

1932
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:53,199
land? It it it's it uses the same

1933
01:21:53,199 --> 01:22:00,229
taxable value as your property taxes do.

1934
01:22:00,239 --> 01:22:01,199
» That right, ma'am?

1935
01:22:01,199 --> 01:22:01,920
>> That's right.

1936
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,639
>> Okay. Because I thought I was wondering

1937
01:22:04,639 --> 01:22:06,320
if it was something that went to

1938
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:07,679
households,

1939
01:22:07,679 --> 01:22:11,280
>> you know, and uh you know, and and it

1940
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:15,040
basically uh collected via per

1941
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:16,480
household. No,

1942
01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:20,000
>> but it is it is basically based on

1943
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:21,040
property taxes.

1944
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:24,320
>> Yeah, it it isn't perfect because you

1945
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,880
have the green belt situation,

1946
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,199
>> but if you think about land that's in

1947
01:22:29,199 --> 01:22:31,440
green belt, land in green belt doesn't

1948
01:22:31,440 --> 01:22:34,880
use much of the way of fire. So, in in

1949
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:36,960
some ways, it it's actually a pretty

1950
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:40,239
good measure as to what's fair.

1951
01:22:40,239 --> 01:22:43,280
Businesses are going to pay 100%

1952
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,960
of their assessed value. That seems fair

1953
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,280
as compared to residences which are

1954
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:54,159
going to pay 55 or 54. What is it?

1955
01:22:54,159 --> 01:22:55,120
>> It's 55.

1956
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,280
>> Is it 55 or 54?

1957
01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,280
>> 55.

1958
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,320
>> Okay. So it it would be the taxable

1959
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,080
value.

1960
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:08,320
If we put our municipal services tax at

1961
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:11,360
a range that's comparable to the cities,

1962
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,880
it will give us quite a lump of money to

1963
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:19,280
use to um make the right decisions in

1964
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:21,920
the fire district.

1965
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,400
And and that money will not be under the

1966
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,520
control of the fire district. It will be

1967
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:35,030
under the control of the county.

1968
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:36,800
» Okay. Thank you.

1969
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,600
>> Thank you for the update. Lot lot going

1970
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,120
on.

1971
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,199
Okay. Initial proposals for

1972
01:23:43,199 --> 01:23:45,360
consideration of action.

1973
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,239
The resolution 2026-24

1974
01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:50,159
opening and amending the Cash County

1975
01:23:50,159 --> 01:23:58,149
budget fifth amendment.

1976
01:23:58,159 --> 01:24:01,360
Good evening, council members. Um, the

1977
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:03,440
auditor is scheduled to do the main

1978
01:24:03,440 --> 01:24:05,520
presentation answering of any questions.

1979
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,360
But, um, you all received a memo at the

1980
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,080
beginning of this meeting. Essentially

1981
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,480
uh due to a legal opinion that was

1982
01:24:14,480 --> 01:24:18,080
issued, one of the proposals on the

1983
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:20,719
budget amendment is

1984
01:24:20,719 --> 01:24:23,520
um was not done through the correct uh

1985
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:25,920
process that we have in code and

1986
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,560
requirement from state law. So in the

1987
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:30,080
meantime, we can get that fixed. But

1988
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,560
what I'm trying to say is

1989
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:36,159
uh I would heavily advise you all to

1990
01:24:36,159 --> 01:24:37,679
specifically

1991
01:24:37,679 --> 01:24:40,400
uh amend resolution 2026-24

1992
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,199
by replacing the original exhibit A with

1993
01:24:43,199 --> 01:24:45,920
the revised exhibit A. Uh the revised

1994
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:49,360
version removes item six as uh it's it

1995
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,679
was listed in the original. So I would

1996
01:24:51,679 --> 01:24:54,719
advise someone to make that motion

1997
01:24:54,719 --> 01:24:56,960
before proceeding

1998
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:58,480
on the consideration of the rest of the

1999
01:24:58,480 --> 01:25:03,110
resolution.

2000
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:06,560
And for those of you looking in your uh

2001
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:08,480
your file sharing system, if you can't

2002
01:25:08,480 --> 01:25:10,480
see it, go to the top and just refresh

2003
01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:12,639
the system.

2004
01:25:12,639 --> 01:25:13,120
>> This?

2005
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:17,189
>> Yes.

2006
01:25:17,199 --> 01:25:18,719
» Does someone want to make that motion

2007
01:25:18,719 --> 01:25:21,440
before we get started discussing this? I

2008
01:25:21,440 --> 01:25:23,440
will go ahead and I move to amend

2009
01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:25,679
resolution 2026-24

2010
01:25:25,679 --> 01:25:28,560
by replacing the original exhibit A with

2011
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,080
the revised exhibit A dated July 28,

2012
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:35,120
2026, which removes item number six as

2013
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:36,480
presented.

2014
01:25:36,480 --> 01:25:37,120
>> Second.

2015
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:38,639
>> Okay, it's been moved and seconded that

2016
01:25:38,639 --> 01:25:41,920
we amend resolution 2026-24

2017
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:45,040
by replacing original exhibit A with the

2018
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,360
revised exhibit A. Is there any further

2019
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,920
discussion about this? Those in favor

2020
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:51,520
say I. I.

2021
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,280
>> Any opposed?

2022
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,800
>> Okay, that motion passes. So now

2023
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,040
our auditor will go through these one at

2024
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,310
a time.

2025
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,080
» All 37 pages.

2026
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,960
>> There's not 37 pages. There's two coming

2027
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:07,520
out.

2028
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:11,199
>> There are 14 uh items here. Uh one has

2029
01:26:11,199 --> 01:26:13,360
just been struck. Uh it's it's still

2030
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:14,560
numbered there, but the amounts have

2031
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,520
been taken out. Um let's uh let's look

2032
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:19,040
at those 14. We'll start with number

2033
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:23,199
one. Um the executive

2034
01:26:23,199 --> 01:26:26,239
suggested uh and I agreed that we

2035
01:26:26,239 --> 01:26:27,520
discuss with the appropriations

2036
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:30,080
committee the removal [clears throat] uh

2037
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:33,040
of the fuel canopy project from the 2026

2038
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,440
public works budget. The appropriations

2039
01:26:35,440 --> 01:26:37,920
committee uh approved that and we bring

2040
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:41,120
that uh to you today tonight uh for your

2041
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:45,280
consideration. Uh number one would um uh

2042
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:49,440
remove from from being constructed the

2043
01:26:49,440 --> 01:26:52,960
uh proposed uh fuel canopy at the Hyram

2044
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:59,040
Roadshed um for a savings of $175,000

2045
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,400
to the general fund and $58,800

2046
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,520
to the municipal services fund. Uh are

2047
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,280
there any questions that I can answer on

2048
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,709
number one?

2049
01:27:10,719 --> 01:27:12,639
And this was approved a couple years

2050
01:27:12,639 --> 01:27:13,760
ago. No,

2051
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:15,040
>> this this is a new one.

2052
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:16,320
>> This was approved. Well, it was approved

2053
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:17,600
last fall.

2054
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:17,920
>> Okay.

2055
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,159
>> Uh in the 2026 uh budget,

2056
01:27:20,159 --> 01:27:20,880
>> this year's budget,

2057
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:22,320
>> and this would amend that and take that

2058
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:27,110
out.

2059
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:31,920
Number two, um, in the the 2026 Cash

2060
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:35,120
County budget, we had a line item in

2061
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:39,120
there for the airport fuel farm that was

2062
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:40,719
based on the assumption that they would

2063
01:27:40,719 --> 01:27:44,480
get a $1.1 million grant from uh from

2064
01:27:44,480 --> 01:27:47,120
Wraps. That proved to be a little

2065
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:50,239
optimistic. Uh, WAPS declined to to fund

2066
01:27:50,239 --> 01:27:51,520
that. I think that was the appropriate

2067
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,560
decision. Uh and so for number two, we

2068
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,760
would ask that we remove uh that $1.1

2069
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:02,239
million uh fuel farm uh expense as well

2070
01:28:02,239 --> 01:28:04,960
as the the grant revenue which we're not

2071
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:08,149
going to receive.

2072
01:28:08,159 --> 01:28:09,840
Are there any questions I can answer on

2073
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:13,040
number two?

2074
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:16,159
Number three. Number three, four and

2075
01:28:16,159 --> 01:28:20,159
five all deal with the fixed guideway

2076
01:28:20,159 --> 01:28:21,840
tax. Now, this is something the Cash

2077
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:24,560
County Council uh approved several years

2078
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:28,159
ago. It's a sales tax that can be used

2079
01:28:28,159 --> 01:28:31,440
uh either for transportation uh or for

2080
01:28:31,440 --> 01:28:33,600
public safety or any combination uh

2081
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,639
thereof, but the appropriate uh name for

2082
01:28:36,639 --> 01:28:40,880
it is fixed guideway. Number three, uh

2083
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:43,360
we've gone back and

2084
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,199
with with the benefit of additional

2085
01:28:45,199 --> 01:28:47,040
hindsight and with the benefit of more

2086
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:50,159
months of of those appropriations under

2087
01:28:50,159 --> 01:28:52,560
our belt, we realize that we uh

2088
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:54,719
undersshot the amount of fixed guideway

2089
01:28:54,719 --> 01:28:56,880
tax that we uh think we're going to

2090
01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:58,320
collect. We think in fact that we're

2091
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:01,360
going to collect uh more fixed guideway.

2092
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:04,800
And we realized that uh in the 2026

2093
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:06,639
budget that we approved last fall, we

2094
01:29:06,639 --> 01:29:09,280
didn't quite have the allocation set

2095
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,760
appropriately between public safety and

2096
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:15,840
fixed guideway. So number three will

2097
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,719
increase uh the amount estimated for the

2098
01:29:18,719 --> 01:29:22,080
fixed guideway revenue for 2026 to

2099
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:29,590
8,961,936.

2100
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:32,080
That's for 202. That's what we received

2101
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:33,600
in 2025.

2102
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:36,159
>> No, this is what we expect to receive in

2103
01:29:36,159 --> 01:29:37,920
2026.

2104
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:39,600
Okay.

2105
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:43,189
>> Okay.

2106
01:29:43,199 --> 01:29:45,840
» Number four,

2107
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:50,080
uh, deals with just the transportation

2108
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,960
portion of the fixed guideway tax. Now

2109
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:56,800
the county council in the past has set

2110
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,360
uh the allocation of fixed guideway so

2111
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,199
that 40% of it goes to transportation.

2112
01:30:03,199 --> 01:30:06,159
That is that is unchanged. What number

2113
01:30:06,159 --> 01:30:10,159
four proposes to do though is to uh

2114
01:30:10,159 --> 01:30:12,880
allocate uh

2115
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:17,120
70% of that transportation portion to

2116
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:18,800
COG

2117
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:23,199
and allocate 30% of that transportation

2118
01:30:23,199 --> 01:30:27,920
portion uh to uh county use, county road

2119
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:33,110
department, public works department use.

2120
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:34,239
This is basically

2121
01:30:34,239 --> 01:30:36,719
>> so just to be clear of the 40 of that

2122
01:30:36,719 --> 01:30:39,760
slice of the pie that slice is going to

2123
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:40,880
be

2124
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:44,080
>> 7030 of that 40 will be be allocated.

2125
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:44,960
Yeah.

2126
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,280
>> So what it comes down to in reality is

2127
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:51,760
12% of the total tax comes to the county

2128
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:55,040
and 28% goes to COG if you look at it as

2129
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:55,520
a big

2130
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,080
>> if you look at it as as the

2131
01:30:58,080 --> 01:30:59,920
>> entirety of the fixed guideway revenue

2132
01:30:59,920 --> 01:31:04,400
stream. But um uh I I think I like the

2133
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:06,480
you know the 40% that we're allocating

2134
01:31:06,480 --> 01:31:09,679
to transportation 70% of that would be

2135
01:31:09,679 --> 01:31:13,360
COG. 30% of that would would be uh

2136
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:15,679
staying with the county.

2137
01:31:15,679 --> 01:31:17,600
>> Could you go back to number three?

2138
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:18,159
>> Yes, ma'am.

2139
01:31:18,159 --> 01:31:20,000
>> And give me those numbers again.

2140
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:20,320
>> Yes.

2141
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:22,159
>> So are they higher or lower? I was

2142
01:31:22,159 --> 01:31:23,600
trying to keep track. We believe we're

2143
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:27,040
going to collect more uh fixed guideway

2144
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:29,760
sales tax revenue than we had previously

2145
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:34,000
estimated when we passed the 2026 budget

2146
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,600
last last fall, last winter. Uh we

2147
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:40,159
passed a budget assuming how much we

2148
01:31:40,159 --> 01:31:42,159
were going to receive. We now believe

2149
01:31:42,159 --> 01:31:45,199
that that was low. We believe that we're

2150
01:31:45,199 --> 01:31:47,199
the correct amount of what we think

2151
01:31:47,199 --> 01:31:50,400
we're going to receive in 2026 would be

2152
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:54,149
8,961,000.

2153
01:31:54,159 --> 01:31:57,040
» So number three then proposes to amend

2154
01:31:57,040 --> 01:32:00,080
the budget to increase that expectation

2155
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:03,360
to 8,900,000.

2156
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:07,350
>> Thank you.

2157
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:10,800
» Could I just take a one second in in

2158
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:15,280
that presentation, Matt? the 12%

2159
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:18,159
or the

2160
01:32:18,159 --> 01:32:22,800
30% 12% of the whole 30% of the 40 same

2161
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:24,400
dollar amount.

2162
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,320
>> That 12%

2163
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:29,120
that we retain at the county would go

2164
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,920
into the capital projects

2165
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:34,560
for our road department

2166
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:36,800
and it would also

2167
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:38,960
one of the things it's it can be used

2168
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:43,040
for is airports. So that becomes a tied

2169
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:46,560
funding source that we can use for both

2170
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,760
capital projects for roads and for the

2171
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:53,199
airport without funding those two things

2172
01:32:53,199 --> 01:32:56,000
from our general fund.

2173
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,040
That that's the goal we have of trying

2174
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:02,560
to move the guideway monies that are

2175
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,800
limited to transportation

2176
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:07,199
to take out some of the transportation

2177
01:33:07,199 --> 01:33:09,040
things that we typically put in our

2178
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:13,270
general fund.

2179
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:15,040
Yeah, that fixed guideway money can be

2180
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:17,199
used for the the design, the

2181
01:33:17,199 --> 01:33:20,239
maintenance, the construction of uh of

2182
01:33:20,239 --> 01:33:23,040
those transportation airport uh or or

2183
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:26,149
roadways.

2184
01:33:26,159 --> 01:33:29,840
Number uh five, following up on what

2185
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:32,480
George just said, as you will probably

2186
01:33:32,480 --> 01:33:34,639
well remember, every year Cash County

2187
01:33:34,639 --> 01:33:37,120
takes from its general fund and supports

2188
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:39,600
the Cash County Airport, C Logan Cash

2189
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,199
County Airport. Well, with the fact in

2190
01:33:43,199 --> 01:33:45,280
mind that we can actually pay for that

2191
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:48,400
out of the fixed guideway tax, what

2192
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:51,840
number five proposes to do is go back

2193
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:54,639
and undo the the general fund allocation

2194
01:33:54,639 --> 01:33:58,480
that we made last fall and replace that

2195
01:33:58,480 --> 01:34:00,800
with with $200,000

2196
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:03,600
coming out of fixed guideway. So, that's

2197
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,560
going to be a $200,000 savings to the

2198
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,360
general fund, which is is very

2199
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:11,840
desirable. and we'll we'll replace it

2200
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,560
with that fixed guideway revenue.

2201
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,440
>> And because we're

2202
01:34:17,440 --> 01:34:19,920
basically the county is now responsible

2203
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:21,679
for their portion which went from

2204
01:34:21,679 --> 01:34:25,040
100,000 to 200,000, we've now found a

2205
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,440
funding stream through the guideway to

2206
01:34:27,440 --> 01:34:28,320
take care of that.

2207
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:34,070
>> Yes. Yes. Exactly.

2208
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:35,520
» Are there any more questions on the

2209
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,440
fixed guideway portion of the budget

2210
01:34:37,440 --> 01:34:41,360
opening? Matt, weren't we also going to

2211
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:46,320
roll out the the capital portion of the

2212
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:48,560
road budget and replace that with

2213
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:50,639
guideway money as well?

2214
01:34:50,639 --> 01:34:52,719
>> Not in this opening, but we we we are

2215
01:34:52,719 --> 01:34:54,239
going to do we will get to that

2216
01:34:54,239 --> 01:34:57,280
>> for the 26 or for the 27 budget if we

2217
01:34:57,280 --> 01:35:00,239
don't do it earlier. But yes,

2218
01:35:00,239 --> 01:35:02,719
>> six is gone.

2219
01:35:02,719 --> 01:35:08,159
>> Okay. Um number six has been struck.

2220
01:35:08,159 --> 01:35:10,719
uh six, seven and eight uh all focus on

2221
01:35:10,719 --> 01:35:12,320
wraps. As I said, number six has been

2222
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,400
struck, but seven and eight we need to

2223
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:16,080
do a little ministerial, a little

2224
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:19,280
clerical uh correction.

2225
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:27,840
uh we did not carry forward um from the 2024 budget the appropriation that

2226
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:30,719
we need to pay for the feasibility study

2227
01:35:30,719 --> 01:35:33,920
for the recreation center that was uh

2228
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:36,960
awarded and appropriated from wraps in

2229
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:40,480
2024. We're now ready to pay that bill.

2230
01:35:40,480 --> 01:35:42,639
So we need to reauthorize that in the

2231
01:35:42,639 --> 01:35:44,239
2026

2232
01:35:44,239 --> 01:35:46,800
uh budget. And that's what number seven

2233
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:51,350
and number eight do.

2234
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:54,480
Number nine, also uh a small ministerial

2235
01:35:54,480 --> 01:35:57,120
uh clerical item. Uh we had the same

2236
01:35:57,120 --> 01:36:00,080
issue with $2,826

2237
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:03,280
of ARPA money that was previously uh

2238
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:05,360
authorized, but needs to be rolled

2239
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:07,920
forward into 2026 so that it can be

2240
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:14,310
spent on the TV translator equipment.

2241
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,360
All right. Now we move into um some

2242
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:19,280
items for the sheriff. You may remember

2243
01:36:19,280 --> 01:36:21,840
that the last time that that that we

2244
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,239
were discussing the budget uh that that

2245
01:36:24,239 --> 01:36:25,679
I had mentioned that we needed to

2246
01:36:25,679 --> 01:36:28,960
replace the uh the fire control panel uh

2247
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:33,679
in the jail. Um if I can steal a line

2248
01:36:33,679 --> 01:36:36,800
from Cool Hand Lo Luke, what we had here

2249
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:39,440
was a failure to communicate.

2250
01:36:39,440 --> 01:36:42,000
Uh the sheriff uh had had given us

2251
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:43,600
instructions and we just misunderstood

2252
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:44,560
them.

2253
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:48,159
Um, number 10 proposes to go back and

2254
01:36:48,159 --> 01:36:50,400
roll back that mistake that we made in

2255
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:53,520
the June uh, budget opening. What we had

2256
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:56,239
thought we were doing was taking money

2257
01:36:56,239 --> 01:36:58,880
from subscriptions and memberships, from

2258
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:01,280
fuel, from professional and technical

2259
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:04,000
and special department supplies, and we

2260
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,480
had thought that we were uh allocating

2261
01:37:06,480 --> 01:37:08,239
those to the fire control panel. That

2262
01:37:08,239 --> 01:37:09,920
was that was a misunderstanding on our

2263
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:13,119
part. That 133,000 in fact needs to go

2264
01:37:13,119 --> 01:37:16,000
to repair and maintain patrol vehicles.

2265
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,480
So number 10 rolls back that mistake.

2266
01:37:18,480 --> 01:37:22,800
Number 11 puts that 133,000 uh where the

2267
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:24,719
sheriff actually needs it so he can he

2268
01:37:24,719 --> 01:37:28,480
can maintain his his equipment.

2269
01:37:28,480 --> 01:37:31,360
Then that gives us number 12, which is

2270
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:34,560
where we ask for $110,000

2271
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,199
for that fire control panel that we had

2272
01:37:37,199 --> 01:37:39,679
previously discussed.

2273
01:37:39,679 --> 01:37:41,199
That comes out of the improvements

2274
01:37:41,199 --> 01:37:41,920
budget.

2275
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:43,920
>> It comes out of the uh the capital

2276
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:49,430
projects budget.

2277
01:37:49,440 --> 01:37:52,719
» Okay. Number uh number 13 and number 14

2278
01:37:52,719 --> 01:37:55,040
both relate to to development services

2279
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:58,880
trails. Um, number 13, the under state

2280
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:03,679
law, we collect um fees from uh

2281
01:38:03,679 --> 01:38:05,280
homeowners that are requesting building

2282
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:09,440
permits and we can use that fee revenue

2283
01:38:09,440 --> 01:38:13,679
only for services that relate to those

2284
01:38:13,679 --> 01:38:15,760
building permits, building inspections,

2285
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:18,560
what have you. Uh, every so often we go

2286
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:20,400
through and and true up our accounts.

2287
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,360
And in this case, we realized that um uh

2288
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:26,080
Mr. Phillips department uh had rendered

2289
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:28,159
uh $61,500

2290
01:38:28,159 --> 01:38:32,800
of services uh in that effort in the

2291
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:36,000
building permit phase that uh that his

2292
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,159
department needs to be reimbured for. So

2293
01:38:38,159 --> 01:38:41,360
that allows us to take 61,000 out of

2294
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:44,239
that highly restricted fund and move it

2295
01:38:44,239 --> 01:38:46,159
over to the general fund where uh

2296
01:38:46,159 --> 01:38:47,760
particularly to roads where it can be

2297
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:51,199
more readily utilized.

2298
01:38:51,199 --> 01:38:56,960
Uh finally, number 14, uh Deep Canyon.

2299
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:58,159
This is a project that we've been

2300
01:38:58,159 --> 01:39:01,520
working on for several years, and

2301
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,719
previously Wraps had uh allocated

2302
01:39:04,719 --> 01:39:06,639
$100,000

2303
01:39:06,639 --> 01:39:09,360
to uh pave the Deep Canyon Trail Head

2304
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:12,239
parking lot. Uh we need to do two things

2305
01:39:12,239 --> 01:39:14,480
here. We need to reauthorize that for

2306
01:39:14,480 --> 01:39:16,560
2026.

2307
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:18,800
But in the entering uh intervening

2308
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:23,760
several years, uh the costs for that parking lot have increased and we

2309
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:26,400
think in fact instead of $100,000, we're

2310
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:29,840
going to need 150. So this reauthorizes

2311
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,440
the $100,000 from wraps and allocates

2312
01:39:33,440 --> 01:39:36,320
$50,000 from municipal services to

2313
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,880
finish that uh that parking lot at Deep

2314
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:40,560
Canyon.

2315
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:45,119
>> Is Deep Canyon our bridge to nowhere?

2316
01:39:45,119 --> 01:39:46,480
>> It is.

2317
01:39:46,480 --> 01:39:48,159
No, the bridge to nowhere accomplish

2318
01:39:48,159 --> 01:39:49,600
nothing. I guess deep canyon, if you're

2319
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:51,119
a trail person,

2320
01:39:51,119 --> 01:39:53,040
>> will accomplish something.

2321
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:54,960
>> This is what some of the locals call

2322
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:57,280
Wayne's Loop, and it's also a way to

2323
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:58,560
access the Wellsville.

2324
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:00,639
>> Yes, it's a way to access access to

2325
01:40:00,639 --> 01:40:03,119
>> popular trail. Anyone that goes up there

2326
01:40:03,119 --> 01:40:04,880
>> and and I'll be honest, the nice thing

2327
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:06,800
about this is we get people coming from

2328
01:40:06,800 --> 01:40:09,199
outside of Cash County coming up here to

2329
01:40:09,199 --> 01:40:11,440
Cash County to hike that trail. and and

2330
01:40:11,440 --> 01:40:13,440
we do appreciate that tax revenue when

2331
01:40:13,440 --> 01:40:15,600
they stop at a convenience store or

2332
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,719
whatever. And and so that is nice. And

2333
01:40:18,719 --> 01:40:20,480
most of that Deep Canyon money, of

2334
01:40:20,480 --> 01:40:22,960
course, was was provided by the state.

2335
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:24,719
And if the state wants to spend its

2336
01:40:24,719 --> 01:40:33,270
money that way, then we'll certainly won't say no.

2337
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,000
» Okay. Thank you very much, Matt, for all

2338
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,800
that information. Um, I don't know if

2339
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,840
you guys want to make a motion to accept

2340
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:43,360
these as a whole. If there's some that

2341
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:45,280
you want to pull out and discuss further

2342
01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:48,639
and um, talk about those one at a time.

2343
01:40:48,639 --> 01:40:50,480
Um, I need some direction from the

2344
01:40:50,480 --> 01:40:53,440
council how you want to proceed on this

2345
01:40:53,440 --> 01:40:56,159
budget amendment.

2346
01:40:56,159 --> 01:40:59,040
>> I [clears throat] I'm very Matt is very

2347
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:02,239
good and very clear in in his concise

2348
01:41:02,239 --> 01:41:06,080
descriptions. It's logical. It's I I

2349
01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:08,320
love these corrections.

2350
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:11,440
So, as amendment four, is it it we we

2351
01:41:11,440 --> 01:41:14,639
we're not even We never really I thought

2352
01:41:14,639 --> 01:41:17,760
did anything with amendment four.

2353
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:19,280
So, we're going to jump over to

2354
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:22,159
amendment five, which then includes all

2355
01:41:22,159 --> 01:41:25,199
of what we were looking at previously.

2356
01:41:25,199 --> 01:41:27,840
Okay. That's what I I want that's how I

2357
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:29,600
saw it, too. I just uh

2358
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:32,400
>> I just want to make sure we're not,

2359
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:34,239
>> you know, jumping past something.

2360
01:41:34,239 --> 01:41:35,360
>> No, no, no, no.

2361
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:38,960
>> And with that, I I would move that uh we

2362
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:41,760
go ahead and accept uh I believe it's

2363
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:46,470
resolution 2026-24,

2364
01:41:46,480 --> 01:41:50,639
uh the budget fifth amendment.

2365
01:41:50,639 --> 01:41:51,679
>> Second.

2366
01:41:51,679 --> 01:41:53,280
>> Okay. It's been moved and seconded that

2367
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:56,800
we accept resolution 2026-24.

2368
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:58,560
Is there any further discussion?

2369
01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:00,560
>> I just have a question. Yes, this is

2370
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,040
kind of a stupid one, but

2371
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:06,159
>> So, does that actually increase any

2372
01:42:06,159 --> 01:42:09,679
taxes? It sounded like it's just trading

2373
01:42:09,679 --> 01:42:12,480
>> going from fun to Is that what it is?

2374
01:42:12,480 --> 01:42:14,880
There's no increase in there, right?

2375
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:16,719
>> Or is that 100,000

2376
01:42:16,719 --> 01:42:18,159
>> spending? I I suppos Well, there's a

2377
01:42:18,159 --> 01:42:20,560
couple. There's the Deep Canyon uh

2378
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:21,360
parking lot

2379
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:24,880
>> for 50 and the sheriff's fire panel for

2380
01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:27,840
110. Uh those are the ones that come to

2381
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:30,000
mind, but I submit to you that both of

2382
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:35,040
those are needed. Certainly the fire panel

2383
01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:37,199
>> and and the way it works like we passed

2384
01:42:37,199 --> 01:42:39,360
a solid budget for this year. Anything

2385
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:42,239
that changes that has to go through this

2386
01:42:42,239 --> 01:42:44,560
process, Joanne, but also it's not going

2387
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:46,320
to increase taxes. It would just if

2388
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:47,679
there's extra money, it would come from

2389
01:42:47,679 --> 01:42:51,280
our reserve fund. Um but our tax late

2390
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:54,000
does not do anything to the tax that we

2391
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:56,320
have already passed for this year. Okay.

2392
01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:58,960
>> It's just just accounting for it, making

2393
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:00,719
sure that every especially because with

2394
01:43:00,719 --> 01:43:02,480
the county, we want to make sure every

2395
01:43:02,480 --> 01:43:04,480
dollar is accounted for in the right

2396
01:43:04,480 --> 01:43:06,560
place. Um so that we can be really

2397
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:10,159
transparent and um Matt's done a really

2398
01:43:10,159 --> 01:43:13,440
great job of doing that. So, okay, I

2399
01:43:13,440 --> 01:43:15,440
have a motion and a second. Anybody else

2400
01:43:15,440 --> 01:43:17,280
have any questions or discussion?

2401
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:18,960
>> Maybe just if they're going to be more

2402
01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:21,760
budget amendments than Rocky Movies or

2403
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:24,000
if we'll be about the same. No, here

2404
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,960
here's the we we the schedule we have is

2405
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:29,280
to do one per quarter. This puts this

2406
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:30,880
one is a little off schedule. So, we

2407
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:32,400
will have another budget opening in

2408
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:34,560
September. Um that'll go to the

2409
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:37,360
appropriations committee in late August

2410
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:40,560
and um hopefully it's very minimal.

2411
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:40,880
We'll see.

2412
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:42,080
>> But that'll be Yeah, we'll be back at

2413
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:43,600
that point back on our regular regularly

2414
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,360
scheduled schedule.

2415
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:46,800
>> That's the third quarter amendment.

2416
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:47,679
>> That's the third quarter.

2417
01:43:47,679 --> 01:43:48,159
>> Okay.

2418
01:43:48,159 --> 01:43:48,880
>> Excellent.

2419
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,679
>> All right. We have a motion and a

2420
01:43:51,679 --> 01:43:54,480
second. Those in favor say I.

2421
01:43:54,480 --> 01:43:56,800
>> I. Any opposed?

2422
01:43:56,800 --> 01:44:00,320
>> Thanks so much, Matt. Okay,

2423
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:16,229
Andrew 8B.

2424
01:44:16,239 --> 01:44:24,550
Again,

2425
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,080
good evening members of the county

2426
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:28,480
council. Before you is resolution number

2427
01:44:28,480 --> 01:44:30,159
2026.

2428
01:44:30,159 --> 01:44:31,119
This [clears throat] is appointing

2429
01:44:31,119 --> 01:44:32,800
members to the Cash County Regional

2430
01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:34,960
Recreation Center feasibility study

2431
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:37,600
committee. So, they would oversee and

2432
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:40,080
direct countywide recreation initiatives

2433
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:42,800
in terms of the study.

2434
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:44,960
So, a little bit of background. During

2435
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:46,880
the last county council meeting, it

2436
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:49,360
resolution 2026-25

2437
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:51,440
was passed that established the

2438
01:44:51,440 --> 01:44:53,440
recreation feasibility study committee

2439
01:44:53,440 --> 01:44:56,080
itself. The resolution set up and

2440
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:58,639
defined a legislative study committee

2441
01:44:58,639 --> 01:45:00,800
composed of up to three members of the

2442
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,760
county council as well as six advisory

2443
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:06,000
members from geographically defined

2444
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,960
areas in the county. uh this resolution

2445
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,440
itself 26-26

2446
01:45:11,440 --> 01:45:13,280
would be the one that would appoint

2447
01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:15,199
members to the study committee so it can

2448
01:45:15,199 --> 01:45:18,159
conduct its business.

2449
01:45:18,159 --> 01:45:19,920
Right now the names that are currently

2450
01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:24,480
in the resolution uh again this is these

2451
01:45:24,480 --> 01:45:25,920
names are placeholders and can be

2452
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:27,520
stricken and replaced with other names

2453
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:30,480
if the county council so desires. But

2454
01:45:30,480 --> 01:45:32,960
right now, the current names listed in

2455
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:35,760
the appointing resolution are are

2456
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:37,360
council member Katherine Bu, council

2457
01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:40,080
member Karity. Uh, from the county seat,

2458
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:42,159
Melissa Dahi,

2459
01:45:42,159 --> 01:45:45,280
>> sorry, apologies. Uh, with the

2460
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:47,360
unincorporated county, it would be

2461
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:49,840
Nathan Player. From municipality north

2462
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:51,199
of the county seat would be Emily

2463
01:45:51,199 --> 01:45:54,080
Schmidt. The other north would be John

2464
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:56,480
David Jorgensson. From the south, you

2465
01:45:56,480 --> 01:46:00,719
would have Nathan Larson and JD Jensen.

2466
01:46:00,719 --> 01:46:02,080
Um, [clears throat]

2467
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:04,800
if there is any desire to strike any of

2468
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:07,360
the names or replace them with any, now

2469
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:09,280
would be the time. But otherwise, this

2470
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:12,000
resolution is is ready for passage. Do

2471
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:14,800
you have any questions?

2472
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:16,560
>> Which part of the unincorporated county

2473
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:18,080
is Nathan from?

2474
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:21,280
>> That's a good question. I

2475
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:29,990
>> Nathan uh player lives in Petersboro.

2476
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:34,310
Where does JD Jensen live?

2477
01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:36,400
» I also believe some of the proposed

2478
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:38,560
names are here if anyone has any

2479
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:44,550
questions for them.

2480
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:47,040
» Okay. I' I'd be happy to discuss this or

2481
01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:50,239
take a motion. Um if they're here and

2482
01:46:50,239 --> 01:46:51,760
they've sat this long in the meeting and

2483
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:53,360
they have something they'd want to say,

2484
01:46:53,360 --> 01:46:55,920
uh chair, would you be immunable to

2485
01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:57,840
them? That would be great.

2486
01:46:57,840 --> 01:46:59,440
>> That would be great.

2487
01:46:59,440 --> 01:47:01,360
>> Yeah, I know John David's here. Um,

>> I have questions.

2494
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:18,069
>> Save your comments for the committee.

2495
01:47:18,069 --> 01:47:19,679

>> Melissa, is it would you

01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:22,800
>> I have to say

01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:24,880
>> Okay. Thank you for your willingness to

2499
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:25,920
serve.

2500
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:28,000
>> Does this committee uh is there any bud?

2501
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:29,360
Do they have a budget that they work

2502
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:31,520
with at all? Okay. So, it's

2503
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:32,880
>> will they volunteer?

2504
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:36,400
>> Are they our study that we pay tens of

2505
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:37,920
thousands of dollars for? Is that

2506
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:39,679
something that they look at?

2507
01:47:39,679 --> 01:47:41,199
>> They would be directing the staff on

2508
01:47:41,199 --> 01:47:43,119
that and giving them answering questions

2509
01:47:43,119 --> 01:47:45,040
for them. So, it's already paid for.

2510
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:47,040
>> Okay. I just don't want the funnel

2511
01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:48,000
approach.

2512
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:49,119
>> So,

2513
01:47:49,119 --> 01:47:50,800
>> Joanne, did you have something? Yeah. I

2514
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:53,840
just have I would like to find out from

2515
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,960
them their involvement in government

2516
01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:59,119
currently or previous.

2517
01:47:59,119 --> 01:48:01,199
>> Perfect. Great. Are you guys willing

2518
01:48:01,199 --> 01:48:02,400
John David you want to start us out?

2519
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:04,000
>> That gives you an idea of what you could

2520
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:05,199
say up here.

2521
01:48:05,199 --> 01:48:07,849
>> My checkbook my involvement with

2522
01:48:07,849 --> 01:48:09,119
[laughter]

2523
01:48:09,119 --> 01:48:10,000
>> pay tax.

2524
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:12,560
>> So would it be reading it out?

2525
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:14,159
>> Can introduce yourself please.

2526
01:48:14,159 --> 01:48:16,719
>> My name is John David Jorgensson. Uh I'm

2527
01:48:16,719 --> 01:48:19,119
from Smithfield. I think the most

2528
01:48:19,119 --> 01:48:22,639
relevant uh uh piece of information for

2529
01:48:22,639 --> 01:48:24,880
this is that there's been an ad hoc

2530
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:26,639
committee that I'm sure you're aware of

2531
01:48:26,639 --> 01:48:28,159
and I have been a member of that

2532
01:48:28,159 --> 01:48:30,239
attending the meetings uh meeting with

2533
01:48:30,239 --> 01:48:33,920
the VCBO uh representatives and learning

2534
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:36,239
uh about the process what's gone into

2535
01:48:36,239 --> 01:48:37,760
this and so have a lot of background

2536
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,960
information there. uh have also talked

2537
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:46,239
to the the my mayor in Smithfield uh uh

2538
01:48:46,239 --> 01:48:53,119
extensively about this and also the uh the director of the Smithfield Rec

2539
01:48:53,119 --> 01:48:54,719
Center to make sure that's part of the

2540
01:48:54,719 --> 01:48:58,719
discussion and would continue that.

2541
01:48:58,719 --> 01:48:59,600
>> Thanks for that.

2542
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:02,400
>> Thanks John David. Appreciate it.

2543
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:13,030
Melissa just say

2544
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:15,840
Okay. My name is Melissa Deli. Um, I

2545
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:17,119
don't know how far back you want me to

2546
01:49:17,119 --> 01:49:18,880
go, but [laughter]

2547
01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:21,760
I have been involved on Logan City Parks

2548
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:24,560
and Wreck Committee or advisory board

2549
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:26,480
for probably

2550
01:49:26,480 --> 01:49:29,520
I don't even know, six years maybe. Um,

2551
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:32,639
I being part of that board, I started

2552
01:49:32,639 --> 01:49:34,400
the discussion throughout the county of

2553
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,000
trying to get a rec center here in the

2554
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:38,800
county. Um, and I'm currently serving on

2555
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:41,520
Logan City Council. So, that's where I'm

2556
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:42,080
at.

2557
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:43,280
>> Thanks.

2558
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:53,910
>> Thank you, Melissa Nathan.

2559
01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:56,880
» Hi, Council. Excited to serve. U

2560
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,600
currently in my second term uh as a

2561
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:01,920
council member in Nimby City was a big

2562
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:04,719
part of their committees and things of

2563
01:50:04,719 --> 01:50:07,600
our own feasibility study um and have

2564
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:09,920
personally benefited from recreation

2565
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:11,600
organized or unorganized throughout the

2566
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:15,600
county my whole life. So

2567
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:17,119
>> thank you. Are there any other members

2568
01:50:17,119 --> 01:50:20,480
that of this committee here tonight?

2569
01:50:20,480 --> 01:50:22,400
>> Um Emily had mentioned to me that she

2570
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:23,440
was not going to be able to be here

2571
01:50:23,440 --> 01:50:27,600
tonight. She asked me to express her um

2572
01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:29,360
interest in serving her gratitude to be

2573
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:31,760
on the list and apologies for not being

2574
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:35,199
able to be here. And I will just add to

2575
01:50:35,199 --> 01:50:36,800
Joan's question. Emily is currently

2576
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:41,760
serving on the North Logan City Council.

2577
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:42,000
>> Okay.

2578
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:44,239
>> Anyone know Nathan Player well or JD

2579
01:50:44,239 --> 01:50:46,400
Jensen that could speak to their

2580
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:50,239
experience or Yeah. So, I know Nathan

2581
01:50:50,239 --> 01:50:54,080
Player. Um, he lives out in the

2582
01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:56,719
unincorporated. He has I feel like what

2583
01:50:56,719 --> 01:50:59,520
I know about him, he has six kids. Um,

2584
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:03,280
he, uh, grew up in Hollow Road. He's

2585
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:04,800
just always wanted to be involved in the

2586
01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:06,239
county and I thought this was, as soon

2587
01:51:06,239 --> 01:51:07,920
as I text him, he said, "Absolutely, I

2588
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:09,760
will." And so I thought he would just be

2589
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:11,600
um being in the un incorporated I

2590
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:14,239
thought would be an added benefit where

2591
01:51:14,239 --> 01:51:16,560
he doesn't belong to a specific

2592
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,119
municipality.

2593
01:51:19,119 --> 01:51:22,560
>> JD is associated with Mend. Um he's

2594
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:24,719
involved in their recreation site, runs

2595
01:51:24,719 --> 01:51:26,639
the softball program which is huge in

2596
01:51:26,639 --> 01:51:30,320
Mend. So, um,

2597
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:32,239
he

2598
01:51:32,239 --> 01:51:34,560
was hesitant because he's very busy at

2599
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:36,960
work, but I hope they have the meetings

2600
01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:39,679
after work. So, I imagine all of you are

2601
01:51:39,679 --> 01:51:43,040
involved in work. So, that was his point

2602
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,840
and I said, I hope that works out. So,

2603
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:48,000
>> so just to be clear, everyone whose name

2604
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:49,920
is here has been asked by someone if

2605
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:51,040
they're willing to or not.

2606
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:51,760
>> Yes.

2607
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:53,119
>> This won't be a surprise.

2608
01:51:53,119 --> 01:51:55,440
>> That's great. And I apologize for not

2609
01:51:55,440 --> 01:51:56,800
having got clarification on this

2610
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:59,360
question before the meeting, but usually

2611
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:01,520
we do appointments, advice and consent

2612
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:03,760
and that kind of process.

2613
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:05,840
Explain to me why that is not why we're

2614
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:07,199
how we're doing it this time. And I

2615
01:52:07,199 --> 01:52:09,119
figured Andrew would know that off the

2616
01:52:09,119 --> 01:52:10,719
top of his head.

2617
01:52:10,719 --> 01:52:14,960
Um, so the reason why this would be

2618
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:17,760
appointment via resolution is it if you

2619
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:20,800
look at the C cash county optional plan,

2620
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:22,960
I believe it's under

2621
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:25,440
section 3.10, 10. It enumerates the

2622
01:52:25,440 --> 01:52:27,119
powers of the county council and one of

2623
01:52:27,119 --> 01:52:30,159
them essentially states the ability to

2624
01:52:30,159 --> 01:52:33,199
investigate um any matter of county

2625
01:52:33,199 --> 01:52:37,360
business or to contract external um

2626
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:39,599
external parties for consulting on how

2627
01:52:39,599 --> 01:52:41,119
to best conduct certain county

2628
01:52:41,119 --> 01:52:43,760
businesses. Long story short, this would

2629
01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:46,000
be it says it in the resolution. It this

2630
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,719
would be a legislative uh study

2631
01:52:48,719 --> 01:52:51,840
committee because ultimately what this

2632
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:53,679
committee would be bringing back to the

2633
01:52:53,679 --> 01:52:56,080
county council would be a report and

2634
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:58,800
recommendation for you all to consider.

2635
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,760
So the idea being uh if the county

2636
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:03,520
council wants to establish its own

2637
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:06,000
committee to conduct or expedite its own

2638
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:07,599
business, that is the business of the

2639
01:53:07,599 --> 01:53:11,280
county council. But um does that answer

2640
01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:12,639
your question?

2641
01:53:12,639 --> 01:53:14,320
>> Yeah, it does. I mean that's that's

2642
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,239
essentially what I thought was the case.

2643
01:53:16,239 --> 01:53:18,880
I just wanted to be sure.

2644
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:20,080
>> Okay. Does someone want to make a

2645
01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:21,199
motion?

2646
01:53:21,199 --> 01:53:22,639
>> So I'm unclear.

2647
01:53:22,639 --> 01:53:24,080
>> Okay.

2648
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,239
>> We have a

2649
01:53:26,239 --> 01:53:28,560
piece of legislation you passed a few

2650
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:31,199
weeks ago that has a process for

2651
01:53:31,199 --> 01:53:35,199
appointing people so that we vet them.

2652
01:53:35,199 --> 01:53:37,199
Are you saying that when you appoint a

2653
01:53:37,199 --> 01:53:38,480
committee, you're not going to go

2654
01:53:38,480 --> 01:53:41,679
through that same process?

2655
01:53:41,679 --> 01:53:43,440
>> I don't know.

2656
01:53:43,440 --> 01:53:45,280
>> Well, I I mean I

2657
01:53:45,280 --> 01:53:46,719
>> Yeah, that's an legitimate question,

2658
01:53:46,719 --> 01:53:50,000
George. Um I believe when we passed the

2659
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:52,000
resolution to say that we were going to

2660
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,639
form this committee, it was unclear how

2661
01:53:54,639 --> 01:53:56,480
the appointments would be made. It was

2662
01:53:56,480 --> 01:53:58,480
not clarified in that.

2663
01:53:58,480 --> 01:54:00,800
>> I don't object to to you doing that. But

2664
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:02,800
I just want to call it to your attention

2665
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:04,320
because

2666
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:07,440
when you appoint a study committee,

2667
01:54:07,440 --> 01:54:11,360
you you will have people who want to

2668
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:13,760
discuss whether that's a good idea or

2669
01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:16,639
not. And that's very similar to other

2670
01:54:16,639 --> 01:54:18,960
committees that we organize and go

2671
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:22,800
through. So, this this is a meaningful

2672
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:25,760
thing and we're talking about a rather

2673
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:27,920
large sum of public money that might be

2674
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:30,560
devoted to this. And I don't want to get

2675
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:34,800
halfway down and then have someone say

2676
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:39,040
your process didn't didn't make for

2677
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:44,629
public application. It was

2678
01:54:44,639 --> 01:54:47,280
» Yeah. And I because this is the we have

2679
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:49,599
never done a committee like this before.

2680
01:54:49,599 --> 01:54:52,320
But I think that um some clarification

2681
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:55,280
on that we could we could um continue

2682
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:57,119
this for two more weeks and talk about

2683
01:54:57,119 --> 01:55:00,080
that process um because I know there

2684
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:01,840
were a lot of questions people asking so

2685
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:03,360
how are you going to choose that

2686
01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:06,880
committee and it wasn't clarified in the

2687
01:55:06,880 --> 01:55:09,520
statute or the ordinance that we passed

2688
01:55:09,520 --> 01:55:12,880
and so um it's a

2689
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:14,719
>> excuse me could the council also give

2690
01:55:14,719 --> 01:55:16,800
some guidelines because the executive

2691
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:19,599
pointed out some things a couple council

2692
01:55:19,599 --> 01:55:21,760
meetings ago as

2693
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:23,360
where is this going to be located and

2694
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,000
who's going to run it and all of those

2695
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:28,719
things I think some clarifications as

2696
01:55:28,719 --> 01:55:30,560
that committee comes point can we bring

2697
01:55:30,560 --> 01:55:32,159
those together and this continuation of

2698
01:55:32,159 --> 01:55:34,400
the two weeks does that make sense

2699
01:55:34,400 --> 01:55:36,159
>> yeah like I would think that they would

2700
01:55:36,159 --> 01:55:37,679
designate their first meeting and choose

2701
01:55:37,679 --> 01:55:40,960
their own leader um but this is such a

2702
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:43,679
this is just such an advisory comm it's

2703
01:55:43,679 --> 01:55:46,080
just a committee to look at the

2704
01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:48,400
information that is already being ga

2705
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:51,199
gathered by BCBO and then bring a

2706
01:55:51,199 --> 01:55:53,440
recommendation to the council if they

2707
01:55:53,440 --> 01:55:56,159
can come to a conclusion of this would

2708
01:55:56,159 --> 01:55:59,280
be the best choice for the county. Um,

2709
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:01,760
and so it it it ultimately it is our

2710
01:56:01,760 --> 01:56:03,760
decision whether we accept their

2711
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:05,119
recommendation or not.

2712
01:56:05,119 --> 01:56:06,719
>> Understand, but I just like to give them

2713
01:56:06,719 --> 01:56:07,280
some

2714
01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:07,599
>> Yeah.

2715
01:56:07,599 --> 01:56:09,040
>> clarification points.

2716
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:10,800
>> I think that would be really helpful.

2717
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:12,480
Um, Andrew,

2718
01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:14,480
>> I believe the county executive is right.

2719
01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:17,199
Under Cash County Code 12, sorry,

2720
01:56:17,199 --> 01:56:20,629
2.12.270,

2721
01:56:20,639 --> 01:56:24,159
uh, I believe there has to be at least

2722
01:56:24,159 --> 01:56:28,480
one week of time for members of the

2723
01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:30,800
county council to be able to see the

2724
01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:32,320
name and then request any information

2725
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:34,239
that they may so want. So, I would

2726
01:56:34,239 --> 01:56:36,239
suggest moving it to the next meeting.

2727
01:56:36,239 --> 01:56:38,400
>> Okay. I think I feel comfortable with

2728
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:40,480
that. We have to buy a diet coke for the

2729
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:42,400
executive for [laughter]

2730
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:44,400
>> I I brought a I brought a case

2731
01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:46,080
>> say I think these are excellent people.

2732
01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:49,440
I think the idea is good. I just

2733
01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:52,560
>> when we make rules we we probably ought

2734
01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:54,000
to

2735
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:56,719
>> Yes. And and I I think that's the most

2736
01:56:56,719 --> 01:56:58,320
important thing and I've been saying it

2737
01:56:58,320 --> 01:56:59,920
all along. So, I really appreciate you

2738
01:56:59,920 --> 01:57:01,520
bringing that out in this because I

2739
01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:04,800
think we have to follow the codes and

2740
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:07,520
follow the rules and do things according

2741
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:09,119
to the books at all times.

2742
01:57:09,119 --> 01:57:11,119
>> Is there is there a time frame from this

2743
01:57:11,119 --> 01:57:12,320
for this committee?

2744
01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:16,159
>> Yes, March 1st of 2027

2745
01:57:16,159 --> 01:57:17,280
is when the

2746
01:57:17,280 --> 01:57:17,679
>> Okay.

2747
01:57:17,679 --> 01:57:20,719
>> So, yeah, there is a there is a set time

2748
01:57:20,719 --> 01:57:23,599
frame.

2749
01:57:23,599 --> 01:57:24,560
>> Okay. So,

2750
01:57:24,560 --> 01:57:27,360
>> I just have a question well or a comment

2751
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:30,159
I guess. I'd like to see kind of an

2752
01:57:30,159 --> 01:57:34,709
unbiased

2753
01:57:34,719 --> 01:57:37,760
member or few members maybe. Does it

2754
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:40,000
have to be could we enlarge it to

2755
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:44,560
include some unbiased ones because

2756
01:57:44,560 --> 01:57:45,760
>> that we would have to change the

2757
01:57:45,760 --> 01:57:47,440
resolution that we passed two weeks ago

2758
01:57:47,440 --> 01:57:48,719
or the last

2759
01:57:48,719 --> 01:57:50,800
>> I think in yeah in that question there's

2760
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:52,960
an implication that maybe the names on

2761
01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:55,760
here biased.

2762
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:58,880
Um maybe you could define that more.

2763
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,840
>> Well, just um

2764
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:05,679
sort of neutral because I'll bet if I

2765
01:58:05,679 --> 01:58:08,480
ask these people what they thought, they

2766
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:11,040
already have an opinion from their

2767
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:14,400
experience. It sounded like and maybe

2768
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:16,320
somebody that doesn't already have an

2769
01:58:16,320 --> 01:58:19,040
opinion that' be helpful on the

2770
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:23,199
committee. I don't know that they they may have come with certain

2771
01:58:23,199 --> 01:58:24,560
experiences, but I don't know that

2772
01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:26,320
they've already formed an opinion.

2773
01:58:26,320 --> 01:58:28,000
Several of them have not looked at the

2774
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:32,560
any of the information from BCBO. They may their experience might help

2775
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:36,560
them to form an opinion based on what

2776
01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:38,560
they what they learn, but I don't know

2777
01:58:38,560 --> 01:58:41,040
that that comes as a as a given that

2778
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:43,119
they already have an opinion. They just

2779
01:58:43,119 --> 01:58:45,119
come with certain experiences, and I

2780
01:58:45,119 --> 01:58:46,719
think that a lot of those are really

2781
01:58:46,719 --> 01:58:49,280
valuable. Um I don't know how you I

2782
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:50,480
don't know how you judge bias

2783
01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:52,080
>> or if they do have an opinion once they

2784
01:58:52,080 --> 01:58:54,480
find out the cost and financing of it

2785
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:56,719
that the opinions may very well change.

2786
01:58:56,719 --> 01:58:57,440
>> Yes.

2787
01:58:57,440 --> 01:58:58,080
>> Yeah.

2788
01:58:58,080 --> 01:58:59,199
>> So

2789
01:58:59,199 --> 01:59:00,960
>> I don't think anything's a foregone

2790
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:01,520
bias.

2791
01:59:01,520 --> 01:59:03,679
>> Yeah. There's no foregone conclusion.

2792
01:59:03,679 --> 01:59:05,760
>> I don't think of any of them. But I

2793
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:06,880
don't know how you would I don't know

2794
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:08,800
how you would judge bias anyway. That's

2795
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:11,440
not it's pretty intangible.

2796
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:13,040
>> It's kind of like going to your

2797
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:14,880
mother-in-law saying who is your

2798
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:18,400
favorite son-in-law and why am I?

2799
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:20,159
you know, serious. That's that's that's

2800
01:59:20,159 --> 01:59:22,159
kind of how people look at things like

2801
01:59:22,159 --> 01:59:23,679
that. And that's when they ask they all

2802
01:59:23,679 --> 01:59:26,960
everyone's got some a little agenda

2803
01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:30,719
sometimes sitting inside them or their

2804
01:59:30,719 --> 01:59:33,119
experiences. Uh the one thing I've been

2805
01:59:33,119 --> 01:59:35,440
really disappointed in was that one

2806
01:59:35,440 --> 01:59:37,760
questionnaire that went out. I thought

2807
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:39,199
that was the stupidest thing I've ever

2808
01:59:39,199 --> 01:59:41,520
seen in my life. It was the funnel

2809
01:59:41,520 --> 01:59:43,840
approach. And that's what I was hoping

2810
01:59:43,840 --> 01:59:47,360
that this this committee

2811
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:49,119
its diversity would probably grow a

2812
01:59:49,119 --> 01:59:52,639
little bit. So, but uh I think that I

2813
01:59:52,639 --> 01:59:54,400
think that we'll be able to get to an

2814
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:56,159
answer.

2815
01:59:56,159 --> 02:00:00,639
So, but I like the time frame, too. So,

2816
02:00:00,639 --> 02:00:02,239
>> anybody else want have something they

2817
02:00:02,239 --> 02:00:04,080
want to discuss on that before we move

2818
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:06,800
on? We'll we'll bring that up next in

2819
02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:08,639
the next two weeks. And I don't know,

2820
02:00:08,639 --> 02:00:12,239
Andrew, if we need to um refine the

2821
02:00:12,239 --> 02:00:14,560
appointment process in the next two

2822
02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:16,560
weeks or how we what what exactly are we

2823
02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:18,159
going to accomplish in the next two

2824
02:00:18,159 --> 02:00:20,239
weeks before our next meeting?

2825
02:00:20,239 --> 02:00:23,599
>> Yes. I believe the point of having that

2826
02:00:23,599 --> 02:00:25,920
timeline available is for any member of

2827
02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:28,239
the county council to request specific

2828
02:00:28,239 --> 02:00:30,000
information from any or all of the

2829
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:30,960
proposed names.

2830
02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:33,520
>> Got it. Okay. So, that's up to us if we

2831
02:00:33,520 --> 02:00:36,480
if anyone has any concerns to have those

2832
02:00:36,480 --> 02:00:38,639
conversations. And would you maybe

2833
02:00:38,639 --> 02:00:41,760
supply us with um contact information

2834
02:00:41,760 --> 02:00:44,000
>> if you all send it to me? Yes.

2835
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:45,199
>> Okay.

2836
02:00:45,199 --> 02:00:47,199
>> I think we're referring to the members

2837
02:00:47,199 --> 02:00:48,080
of the proposed.

2838
02:00:48,080 --> 02:00:49,760
>> No, he but he doesn't have their contact

2839
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:50,800
information is what he's saying.

2840
02:00:50,800 --> 02:00:52,080
>> I'll send it to you. [laughter]

2841
02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:54,320
>> Half of them you could get it from.

2842
02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:57,510
>> We have

2843
02:00:57,520 --> 02:01:00,159
to I can get a hold of.

2844
02:01:00,159 --> 02:01:02,000
>> All right. We have one more thing on our

2845
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:05,679
um agenda. The resolution 2026-27

2846
02:01:05,679 --> 02:01:06,960
approving the Powder Mountain Law

2847
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:08,719
Enforcement and Search and Rescue Enter

2848
02:01:08,719 --> 02:01:11,599
local agreement with Wever County. Um

2849
02:01:11,599 --> 02:01:13,119
Kurt and Chad, are you guys going to do

2850
02:01:13,119 --> 02:01:14,480
that together? Who's going to take the

2851
02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:24,390
lead on that presentation?

2852
02:01:24,400 --> 02:01:26,400
» Okay. Well, thanks. I'll keep this

2853
02:01:26,400 --> 02:01:28,239
pretty short. Kurt asked me to come and

2854
02:01:28,239 --> 02:01:30,320
talk about theou with Powder Mountain.

2855
02:01:30,320 --> 02:01:34,719
If you guys probably already know, the theou we had before was from like

2856
02:01:34,719 --> 02:01:36,239
1994

2857
02:01:36,239 --> 02:01:38,159
and we've been operating under that ever

2858
02:01:38,159 --> 02:01:39,679
since this whole thing with the fire

2859
02:01:39,679 --> 02:01:40,960
district came up and it needed to be

2860
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:44,400
redone. Um so in my mind it was easier

2861
02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:46,080
to to peel the law enforcement piece out

2862
02:01:46,080 --> 02:01:47,599
because I can just deal directly with

2863
02:01:47,599 --> 02:01:49,599
the Weaver County Sheriff and and not

2864
02:01:49,599 --> 02:01:50,719
get it wrapped up in all the other

2865
02:01:50,719 --> 02:01:53,199
things. Um, so theou that I think you

2866
02:01:53,199 --> 02:01:56,320
have seen, um, he he did put a a value

2867
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:59,040
to things if we needed those services

2868
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:01,679
over there. Um, but I don't expect that

2869
02:02:01,679 --> 02:02:02,960
there's going to be anything that's

2870
02:02:02,960 --> 02:02:04,239
going to change in the way the process

2871
02:02:04,239 --> 02:02:07,199
has been working for the last 25 years

2872
02:02:07,199 --> 02:02:09,040
with any funding or any billing going

2873
02:02:09,040 --> 02:02:10,960
back and forth between Cash County andor

2874
02:02:10,960 --> 02:02:12,800
Weber County as it deals with law

2875
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:14,880
enforcement services provided over

2876
02:02:14,880 --> 02:02:19,040
there. there's such just a tiny piece of Cash County in the Weber side that

2877
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:21,520
would generate calls for service. Um,

2878
02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:24,080
and him looking back over I I I wanted

2879
02:02:24,080 --> 02:02:25,360
to be fair with him. I'm like, look and

2880
02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:27,360
see what the cost is. I don't want to

2881
02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:29,520
stick you with something that because

2882
02:02:29,520 --> 02:02:31,440
we're friends. Um, but he looked back

2883
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:32,800
and looked at the addresses in the

2884
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:36,000
geoence on where the people are mostly

2885
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:38,080
in Powder Mountain from the Cash County

2886
02:02:38,080 --> 02:02:40,000
side and he can't come up with two or

2887
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:45,599
three reports in the last 25 years that actually would be something for

2888
02:02:45,599 --> 02:02:47,760
them. Um, we already split search and

2889
02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:52,000
rescue calls between Cash and Weaver.

2890
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:53,360
When somebody calls from the mountains,

2891
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:55,040
it depends on which tower it hits off of

2892
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:57,119
and which which search and rescue gets

2893
02:02:57,119 --> 02:02:58,800
called out. So, we share resources back

2894
02:02:58,800 --> 02:03:01,280
and forth already as it gets closer to

2895
02:03:01,280 --> 02:03:03,119
the border. Um, so I really don't

2896
02:03:03,119 --> 02:03:05,920
anticipate any cost coming from Weber um

2897
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:07,920
by signing this. It just really lets us

2898
02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:10,320
work back and forth like we've done for

2899
02:03:10,320 --> 02:03:12,639
the last 25 years.

2900
02:03:12,639 --> 02:03:13,840
>> Phil, any questions I can

2901
02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:16,639
>> Is there a time frame on this how this

2902
02:03:16,639 --> 02:03:17,280
stands?

2903
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:20,080
>> Was it four, five years or or I think it

2904
02:03:20,080 --> 02:03:21,360
was four or five years and it's

2905
02:03:21,360 --> 02:03:23,520
renewable with the signature.

2906
02:03:23,520 --> 02:03:25,440
>> I thought it was three and then reviewed

2907
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:28,639
annually. I thought it

2908
02:03:28,639 --> 02:03:30,080
was what I was trying to understand on

2909
02:03:30,080 --> 02:03:31,840
it. So

2910
02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:34,000
>> yeah, I think the la the lastouou that

2911
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:36,560
we had that has long since been out of

2912
02:03:36,560 --> 02:03:38,800
place. I think the the deal made is long

2913
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:41,119
before my time was the county would pay

2914
02:03:41,119 --> 02:03:42,639
Weaver County forfeit the taxes

2915
02:03:42,639 --> 02:03:44,000
collected on those properties that are

2916
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:45,679
in Weber County and that was the payment

2917
02:03:45,679 --> 02:03:48,880
towards the the services. We've never

2918
02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:51,520
paid Weaver County a penny in 30 years

2919
02:03:51,520 --> 02:03:53,280
for the services, but we've always

2920
02:03:53,280 --> 02:03:56,320
worked great together back and forth.

2921
02:03:56,320 --> 02:03:58,320
What really creates a bigger issue is we

2922
02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:01,119
can't get over there in any timely

2923
02:04:01,119 --> 02:04:03,440
manner in the winter. Um, and if an

2924
02:04:03,440 --> 02:04:05,760
arrest happens in at Powder Mountain,

2925
02:04:05,760 --> 02:04:07,360
it's in our county. They're part of the

2926
02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:09,679
first district, which is backing cash,

2927
02:04:09,679 --> 02:04:11,760
not in Weaver, which is the second

2928
02:04:11,760 --> 02:04:13,679
district. So, if there's a case over

2929
02:04:13,679 --> 02:04:14,960
there that needs an arrest made or

2930
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:17,119
something, they can do the keep the

2931
02:04:17,119 --> 02:04:19,119
peace. We can always go over and do it.

2932
02:04:19,119 --> 02:04:20,639
But he's they will be the first

2933
02:04:20,639 --> 02:04:22,000
responders and they're happy to be a

2934
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:23,760
good partner.

2935
02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:25,840
Is there, and maybe Kurt can answer

2936
02:04:25,840 --> 02:04:31,199
this, you or or Chad, is there any um

2937
02:04:31,199 --> 02:04:35,199
anything in here that addresses what if like there's two or three houses

2938
02:04:35,199 --> 02:04:36,639
that get built up there? They're in Cash

2939
02:04:36,639 --> 02:04:38,800
County and they're just rowdy houses and

2940
02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:41,040
they're like all of a sudden the the

2941
02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:43,360
calls are going to exceed any kind of

2942
02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:45,199
taxes that we would

2943
02:04:45,199 --> 02:04:47,440
>> Well, I think the way the the way theou

2944
02:04:47,440 --> 02:04:49,119
reads now, it's not it's nothing to do

2945
02:04:49,119 --> 02:04:50,480
with the taxes anymore. or it's on a

2946
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:52,239
billable hour by Weber County for

2947
02:04:52,239 --> 02:04:53,920
specific services.

2948
02:04:53,920 --> 02:04:56,000
>> Um so I think if if things got build

2949
02:04:56,000 --> 02:04:58,239
over there and things were creating a

2950
02:04:58,239 --> 02:04:59,840
lot more work for Weber County then we

2951
02:04:59,840 --> 02:05:01,520
might have a discussion about what the

2952
02:05:01,520 --> 02:05:03,599
cost of this truly is going to be. But

2953
02:05:03,599 --> 02:05:05,760
um with the newou it takes the taxes and

2954
02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:07,840
in lie of taxes and all that stuff out

2955
02:05:07,840 --> 02:05:09,760
of the mix and it's just right down to a

2956
02:05:09,760 --> 02:05:10,800
cost per hour.

2957
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:12,400
>> Okay.

2958
02:05:12,400 --> 02:05:14,159
>> That kind of stuff be addressed in a

2959
02:05:14,159 --> 02:05:16,000
three-year that's why the

2960
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:17,679
>> that's why has a term of three years,

2961
02:05:17,679 --> 02:05:18,000
right?

2962
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:19,360
>> Yeah. There there were a couple things

2963
02:05:19,360 --> 02:05:23,599
in there that maybe I'm I read a lot of

2964
02:05:23,599 --> 02:05:26,159
it. I made notes, but I can't access

2965
02:05:26,159 --> 02:05:27,599
them now, so I'm going to go off memory,

2966
02:05:27,599 --> 02:05:31,040
but I want to say there was a 180day

2967
02:05:31,040 --> 02:05:32,560
cancellation

2968
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:34,480
>> notice, which seemed long. I don't

2969
02:05:34,480 --> 02:05:36,639
>> I think it was 90. I think it was just

2970
02:05:36,639 --> 02:05:38,400
it might be 180. I thought it was 90

2971
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:39,760
like a general out clause in most

2972
02:05:39,760 --> 02:05:40,159
contracts.

2973
02:05:40,159 --> 02:05:41,840
>> Yeah. So, I was just thinking maybe we

2974
02:05:41,840 --> 02:05:43,360
want to tighten that up. And then also

2975
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:45,760
there was no um well maybe there was

2976
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:49,520
some but I don't remember a a process

2977
02:05:49,520 --> 02:05:52,320
for renewal or what happens if you don't

2978
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:55,599
renew like it just terminates

2979
02:05:55,599 --> 02:05:57,199
>> like are the are the

2980
02:05:57,199 --> 02:06:00,480
>> are there I don't know guidelines set

2981
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:02,320
forth to how to renegotiate that and

2982
02:06:02,320 --> 02:06:04,880
what happens if there isn't one.

2983
02:06:04,880 --> 02:06:06,400
>> I don't have it in front of me. I I I

2984
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:08,080
think if I if I remember the reading of

2985
02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:10,400
it is um it's either three or four years

2986
02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:13,119
is the expiration date to it and that we

2987
02:06:13,119 --> 02:06:16,320
have to contact them if we want to

2988
02:06:16,320 --> 02:06:18,800
renegotiate or continue on with theou as

2989
02:06:18,800 --> 02:06:20,880
it as it as it spills. Is that correct

2990
02:06:20,880 --> 02:06:21,440
Andrew?

2991
02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:24,800
>> Y three years for the initial agreement

2992
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:26,800
and then

2993
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:30,960
essentially a yearbyyear renewal which

2994
02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:32,560
can include

2995
02:06:32,560 --> 02:06:33,840
>> a renegotiation.

2996
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:34,239
>> Yes.

2997
02:06:34,239 --> 02:06:35,760
>> Yeah. But we have to instigate

2998
02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:37,760
>> just maybe defining that a little bit

2999
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:39,440
more on what the renegotiation looks

3000
02:06:39,440 --> 02:06:42,000
like and what happens if it doesn't. Um,

3001
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:44,960
and then the other thing was insurance,

3002
02:06:44,960 --> 02:06:47,199
which is probably a small thing with the

3003
02:06:47,199 --> 02:06:49,280
volume of calls, but if it got bigger,

3004
02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:52,079
like if one of their guys goes out and

3005
02:06:52,079 --> 02:06:54,079
it's on our property, is it covered by

3006
02:06:54,079 --> 02:06:56,079
their workman's comp and their insurance

3007
02:06:56,079 --> 02:06:57,840
and everything like that? Okay.

3008
02:06:57,840 --> 02:07:00,480
>> Yeah. Yep.

3009
02:07:00,480 --> 02:07:02,000
>> Cool.

3010
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:03,840
>> Okay.

3011
02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:06,560
Just to clarify so we make sure we're

3012
02:07:06,560 --> 02:07:08,159
giving clear direction to the sheriff

3013
02:07:08,159 --> 02:07:10,960
and to the executive's office. Keegan,

3014
02:07:10,960 --> 02:07:13,679
you're saying you want something

3015
02:07:13,679 --> 02:07:15,599
more concrete than section.

3016
02:07:15,599 --> 02:07:18,320
>> Well, I'm just I'm I I'm pointing it out

3017
02:07:18,320 --> 02:07:19,520
because we're going to be on the hook

3018
02:07:19,520 --> 02:07:21,280
and I've I've learned the hard way on

3019
02:07:21,280 --> 02:07:23,199
contracts, you know, in in my

3020
02:07:23,199 --> 02:07:25,199
professional career that sometimes the

3021
02:07:25,199 --> 02:07:27,040
same people aren't in the room who made

3022
02:07:27,040 --> 02:07:29,040
the agreement and sometimes if things

3023
02:07:29,040 --> 02:07:33,040
are vague, it gets complicated. um in

3024
02:07:33,040 --> 02:07:34,719
the event of an incident.

3025
02:07:34,719 --> 02:07:37,199
>> So I'm just making sure we're you're

3026
02:07:37,199 --> 02:07:39,280
what you're saying is you want section

3027
02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:40,400
five changed because

3028
02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:43,520
>> I think I think three-year term with

3029
02:07:43,520 --> 02:07:47,679
annual renewal and then um termination

3030
02:07:47,679 --> 02:07:51,280
is agreement of this agreement will be

3031
02:07:51,280 --> 02:07:53,840
um excluded anything less than 60 days

3032
02:07:53,840 --> 02:07:57,440
prior to expiration of the regular term.

3033
02:07:57,440 --> 02:07:58,800
You have to make indication you want to

3034
02:07:58,800 --> 02:08:00,000
do something different.

3035
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:03,199
>> 180 you got no you got 60 days to let

3036
02:08:03,199 --> 02:08:04,639
them know whether or not we want to make

3037
02:08:04,639 --> 02:08:05,679
a change

3038
02:08:05,679 --> 02:08:07,520
>> and then the next paragraph is either

3039
02:08:07,520 --> 02:08:09,520
party may terminate this agreement for

3040
02:08:09,520 --> 02:08:12,560
any reason upon no less than 180 days of

3041
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:14,159
written notice.

3042
02:08:14,159 --> 02:08:14,800
>> Well then number

3043
02:08:14,800 --> 02:08:16,639
>> you have the 60 days to say yeah we want

3044
02:08:16,639 --> 02:08:19,920
to just renew it and you have 180 days

3045
02:08:19,920 --> 02:08:22,000
to say no we don't want to renew it.

3046
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:24,400
Here's what you got to do. So that

3047
02:08:24,400 --> 02:08:26,719
starts the clock in two different ways.

3048
02:08:26,719 --> 02:08:27,360
Okay.

3049
02:08:27,360 --> 02:08:28,880
>> Probably addressing what your concern

3050
02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:29,119
is.

3051
02:08:29,119 --> 02:08:32,000
>> Yeah, I think it does. I wish I had my

3052
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:34,800
notes because I it's more clear there.

3053
02:08:34,800 --> 02:08:36,960
>> Yeah. On line four says you can

3054
02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:38,880
terminate the agreement immediately upon

3055
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:40,800
written notice if the other party

3056
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:42,880
materially breaches any provision within

3057
02:08:42,880 --> 02:08:44,560
30 days of receipt of written notice.

3058
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:46,239
So, there's several different back

3059
02:08:46,239 --> 02:08:48,800
stops, too. Um,

3060
02:08:48,800 --> 02:08:50,960
>> I don't disagree with your sentiment at

3061
02:08:50,960 --> 02:08:51,599
all,

3062
02:08:51,599 --> 02:08:54,000
>> but I felt like this was really pretty

3063
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:56,480
tight for the concern that I would had.

3064
02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:58,560
And so I just don't want us to chasing

3065
02:08:58,560 --> 02:08:59,520
around if we didn't need.

3066
02:08:59,520 --> 02:09:00,079
>> No, that's good.

3067
02:09:00,079 --> 02:09:01,599
>> I I think with the liability piece of

3068
02:09:01,599 --> 02:09:03,520
it, and that's a good point to make. Um,

3069
02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:05,679
but it's a really a statewide thing is

3070
02:09:05,679 --> 02:09:07,119
because we're law enforcement, we have

3071
02:09:07,119 --> 02:09:09,119
statewide jurisdictions, so to speak,

3072
02:09:09,119 --> 02:09:10,400
because that's where our license comes

3073
02:09:10,400 --> 02:09:13,440
from, post. Um, if I'm on my way I-15

3074
02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:15,520
and I stop for a crash and I get run

3075
02:09:15,520 --> 02:09:17,520
over by a car and I'm acting in some

3076
02:09:17,520 --> 02:09:20,560
official capacity

3077
02:09:20,560 --> 02:09:22,400
and I'm and I'm on duty at the time on

3078
02:09:22,400 --> 02:09:24,880
the clock, so to speak, the liability is

3079
02:09:24,880 --> 02:09:26,400
going to fall with Cash County. No

3080
02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:28,320
different than Weaver County task force

3081
02:09:28,320 --> 02:09:29,599
that comes up here and helps us with the

3082
02:09:29,599 --> 02:09:31,760
SWAT rate or something.

3083
02:09:31,760 --> 02:09:33,199
That's part of just being general

3084
02:09:33,199 --> 02:09:35,440
postcertified is you could take law

3085
02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:36,880
enforcement action anywhere in the state

3086
02:09:36,880 --> 02:09:39,199
and be impossible to have anou with

3087
02:09:39,199 --> 02:09:42,960
every every community. So every agency

3088
02:09:42,960 --> 02:09:44,719
just takes that risk if you venture

3089
02:09:44,719 --> 02:09:46,800
outside of your of your jurisdiction.

3090
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:48,320
>> Okay.

3091
02:09:48,320 --> 02:09:49,599
>> So are you comfortable with that?

3092
02:09:49,599 --> 02:09:51,360
>> Yeah, I think that clarifies the

3093
02:09:51,360 --> 02:09:52,719
concerns I had. That's great.

3094
02:09:52,719 --> 02:09:53,840
>> All right. Does someone want to make a

3095
02:09:53,840 --> 02:09:58,629
motion on that?

3096
02:09:58,639 --> 02:10:01,599
» Make a motion that we adopt resolution

3097
02:10:01,599 --> 02:10:03,199
2026-27

3098
02:10:03,199 --> 02:10:05,040
approving the Powder Mountain Law

3099
02:10:05,040 --> 02:10:06,560
Enforcement and Search and Rescue

3100
02:10:06,560 --> 02:10:10,079
Interlocal agreement with Weaver County.

3101
02:10:10,079 --> 02:10:10,880
Second.

3102
02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:12,239
>> Okay. It's been moved and seconded that

3103
02:10:12,239 --> 02:10:15,199
we adopt resolution 2026-27.

3104
02:10:15,199 --> 02:10:17,599
Is there any further discussion? Those

3105
02:10:17,599 --> 02:10:19,119
in favor say I.

3106
02:10:19,119 --> 02:10:21,040
>> I. Any opposed?

3107
02:10:21,040 --> 02:10:24,159
>> Okay. All right. In other business, the

3108
02:10:24,159 --> 02:10:25,920
our September 8th county council

3109
02:10:25,920 --> 02:10:27,520
meeting. Um I thought we were going to

3110
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:30,800
take that off the the agenda, but here

3111
02:10:30,800 --> 02:10:34,000
here's the situation. UAC starts the

3112
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:35,760
night of the 8th, which is our county

3113
02:10:35,760 --> 02:10:37,920
council meeting, but the only activity

3114
02:10:37,920 --> 02:10:39,520
that night is the board meeting, which

3115
02:10:39,520 --> 02:10:42,560
would take um Councilman Ericson away

3116
02:10:42,560 --> 02:10:44,639
from our regular meeting so that he can

3117
02:10:44,639 --> 02:10:46,880
attend the board meeting on our behalf.

3118
02:10:46,880 --> 02:10:50,159
And then the next day, the next two days

3119
02:10:50,159 --> 02:10:52,960
um the UAT conference is in Provo. And

3120
02:10:52,960 --> 02:10:56,000
so, do we want to The thought was, well,

3121
02:10:56,000 --> 02:10:57,840
maybe we need to reschedu our meeting on

3122
02:10:57,840 --> 02:11:00,880
the 8th, but I think if we can have a

3123
02:11:00,880 --> 02:11:02,880
meeting without Dave here for that one

3124
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:05,119
night and then go down early the next

3125
02:11:05,119 --> 02:11:06,719
day, it would save a lot of hotels. We

3126
02:11:06,719 --> 02:11:08,239
wouldn't have to reschedule. But how

3127
02:11:08,239 --> 02:11:09,920
what do you guys feel about that?

3128
02:11:09,920 --> 02:11:11,760
>> I want to sleep in my own bed.

3129
02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:14,000
>> Okay. [laughter]

3130
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:15,280
>> But that's just one voice.

3131
02:11:15,280 --> 02:11:16,560
>> Yeah. Tell us what you tell us what you

3132
02:11:16,560 --> 02:11:18,079
think because we can reschedule that

3133
02:11:18,079 --> 02:11:19,840
meeting on the 8th. We can move it.

3134
02:11:19,840 --> 02:11:21,280
Well, that's what I was going to ask is

3135
02:11:21,280 --> 02:11:22,719
the alternative dates would be

3136
02:11:22,719 --> 02:11:24,400
>> the 15th.

3137
02:11:24,400 --> 02:11:26,560
>> we meet on the 15th and the 22nd of

3138
02:11:26,560 --> 02:11:27,360
August.

3139
02:11:27,360 --> 02:11:28,719
>> Regardless, I'm not going to go down

3140
02:11:28,719 --> 02:11:29,840
September.

3141
02:11:29,840 --> 02:11:32,560
>> On the go ahead and meet and I'll I'll

3142
02:11:32,560 --> 02:11:33,760
zoom in or something.

3143
02:11:33,760 --> 02:11:34,239
>> Yeah.

3144
02:11:34,239 --> 02:11:39,360
>> See, I could just add my two cents here.

3145
02:11:39,360 --> 02:11:41,040
If you could postpone that meeting, it

3146
02:11:41,040 --> 02:11:42,800
would give me a little longer to get my

3147
02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:45,520
fireboard set up, get the budget, get

3148
02:11:45,520 --> 02:11:46,639
all these [laughter] things done.

3149
02:11:46,639 --> 02:11:49,280
>> In that sense, no, we're not

3150
02:11:49,280 --> 02:11:51,360
If you can put it off a week, it would

3151
02:11:51,360 --> 02:11:53,280
be helpful.

3152
02:11:53,280 --> 02:11:54,800
>> That's the September meeting, not

3153
02:11:54,800 --> 02:11:56,079
August. We're talking

3154
02:11:56,079 --> 02:11:57,840
>> Well, that is the September meeting. You

3155
02:11:57,840 --> 02:11:59,520
were talking about sliding that another

3156
02:11:59,520 --> 02:12:01,760
week. That would be helpful.

3157
02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:03,280
>> Okay. What What do you guys

3158
02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:05,119
>> I'm not going to have a board at the

3159
02:12:05,119 --> 02:12:08,400
best until August 28th, I think.

3160
02:12:08,400 --> 02:12:10,639
>> So, so our August meetings are the 11th

3161
02:12:10,639 --> 02:12:13,280
and the 25th, and then so September,

3162
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:16,159
we'd either have to do the first, move

3163
02:12:16,159 --> 02:12:19,920
it up, or do the 15th after. that.

3164
02:12:19,920 --> 02:12:23,760
>> Yeah. And the let's see September. So,

3165
02:12:23,760 --> 02:12:28,069
let me get my calendar up here.

3166
02:12:28,079 --> 02:12:33,280
» Yeah. I just need to know what you guys are thinking. Um,

3167
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:34,800
do you want to move that meeting to the

3168
02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:37,199
15th? Councilman Counciloman,

3169
02:12:37,199 --> 02:12:40,950
>> two meetings in

3170
02:12:40,960 --> 02:12:43,360
» there's a there's a lot of September 8's

3171
02:12:43,360 --> 02:12:46,719
a very important date for us because

3172
02:12:46,719 --> 02:12:48,480
>> tax if you're going to do a tax

3173
02:12:48,480 --> 02:12:51,599
increase. Um we we have to get to the

3174
02:12:51,599 --> 02:12:54,960
printer with that information

3175
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:57,840
midepptember. September 15th would be a little late.

3176
02:12:57,840 --> 02:12:59,440
>> I remember that now. We would we would

3177
02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:02,400
really prefer a decision if possible on

3178
02:13:02,400 --> 02:13:03,599
September 8th if that's

3179
02:13:03,599 --> 02:13:05,040
>> I think our treasurer would appreciate

3180
02:13:05,040 --> 02:13:07,360
that too that if we met on the 8th

3181
02:13:07,360 --> 02:13:09,599
>> I'm gone

3182
02:13:09,599 --> 02:13:12,719
>> I'm not going to have a fire board until

3183
02:13:12,719 --> 02:13:16,960
August 28th. Isn't that the

3184
02:13:16,960 --> 02:13:17,520
>> 25th?

3185
02:13:17,520 --> 02:13:21,520
>> My job 30 days and I have a fireboard

3186
02:13:21,520 --> 02:13:23,840
and one of those entities that we're

3187
02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:26,560
talking about the tax level

3188
02:13:26,560 --> 02:13:31,199
is is you're talking about in one week.

3189
02:13:31,199 --> 02:13:33,520
>> Yeah, it it's we're we're in a tight

3190
02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:35,360
spot there. We're up against a printer's

3191
02:13:35,360 --> 02:13:36,880
deadline and we're up, you know, we've

3192
02:13:36,880 --> 02:13:38,719
got the fireboard issue and I'm not sure

3193
02:13:38,719 --> 02:13:41,040
there's a a resolution that makes

3194
02:13:41,040 --> 02:13:44,560
anybody really happy.

3195
02:13:44,560 --> 02:13:46,159
you

3196
02:13:46,159 --> 02:13:49,040
I realize you only have two meetings a

3197
02:13:49,040 --> 02:13:58,239
month, but you could keep the ETH and pencil in the 15th as well.

3198
02:13:58,239 --> 02:13:59,760
>> Good.

3199
02:13:59,760 --> 02:14:00,800
The council meeting

3200
02:14:00,800 --> 02:14:02,480
>> so much fun. Why don't we do it more

3201
02:14:02,480 --> 02:14:04,159
often? [laughter]

3202
02:14:04,159 --> 02:14:07,679
>> We can move it to Friday night. No.

3203
02:14:07,679 --> 02:14:09,440
>> Yeah.

3204
02:14:09,440 --> 02:14:12,320
>> I want a description of your idea of

3205
02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:15,350
fun.

3206
02:14:15,360 --> 02:14:17,840
Okay. So, so the general idea for now is

3207
02:14:17,840 --> 02:14:19,360
to keep the ETH so that we can make sure

3208
02:14:19,360 --> 02:14:21,599
and meet our tax obligation. If we want

3209
02:14:21,599 --> 02:14:24,560
to um as as things progress towards

3210
02:14:24,560 --> 02:14:26,560
there, if we need to talk about another

3211
02:14:26,560 --> 02:14:27,920
meeting,

3212
02:14:27,920 --> 02:14:29,119
>> um

3213
02:14:29,119 --> 02:14:33,280
>> we can certainly have that discussion.

3214
02:14:33,280 --> 02:14:33,760
>> Yeah.

3215
02:14:33,760 --> 02:14:34,480
>> Anybody?

3216
02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:35,119
>> That's fine.

3217
02:14:35,119 --> 02:14:35,760
>> Is that okay?

3218
02:14:35,760 --> 02:14:36,400
>> Yeah.

3219
02:14:36,400 --> 02:14:38,000
And I don't know that I I might

3220
02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:39,920
even be out of town September 15th. I

3221
02:14:39,920 --> 02:14:43,840
I'm trying to figure that out. So, okay.

3222
02:14:43,840 --> 02:14:46,400

>> I enjoyed the the 250 anniversary

3226
02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:55,599
events. I went to several of those. They

3227
02:14:55,599 --> 02:15:00,079
were excellent. That's my only thing.

3228
02:15:00,079 --> 02:15:01,599
>> I don't have anything that needs to come

3229
02:15:01,599 --> 02:15:03,679
before the council.

3230
02:15:03,679 --> 02:15:05,199
>> Me neither.

>> Yeah, we're going to be there. Um,

3245
02:15:29,360 --> 02:15:31,840
Lamont Pollson called me. He's got a big

3246
02:15:31,840 --> 02:15:33,360
wagon with horses and he's

3247
02:15:33,360 --> 02:15:35,119
>> It's the same wagon that we used out

3248
02:15:35,119 --> 02:15:37,520
there. It's really

3249
02:15:37,520 --> 02:15:38,400
>> in Louis.

3250
02:15:38,400 --> 02:15:40,000
>> Tell him to add another Clydesil if

3251
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:41,119
we're all going to be there.

3252
02:15:41,119 --> 02:15:41,840
>> Another what?

3253
02:15:41,840 --> 02:15:43,360
>> Clydesil.

3254
02:15:43,360 --> 02:15:44,320
>> What are you saying?

3255
02:15:44,320 --> 02:15:47,360
Kegan?

3256
02:15:47,360 --> 02:15:49,440
>> You'll be pretty proud of with all of us

3257
02:15:49,440 --> 02:15:49,920
on there.

3258
02:15:49,920 --> 02:15:51,520
>> I think Keegan was going to bring his

3259
02:15:51,520 --> 02:15:53,360
wallet and that's why he needed some

3260
02:15:53,360 --> 02:15:54,560
extra cooling power.

3261
02:15:54,560 --> 02:15:57,679
>> Yeah, we had my

3262
02:15:57,679 --> 02:16:01,360
>> Oh, there's a there's a fair dinner and

3263
02:16:01,360 --> 02:16:03,840
>> they're having fair. It's just it's for

3264
02:16:03,840 --> 02:16:06,320
the people that are involved in the

3265
02:16:06,320 --> 02:16:08,000
fair.

3266
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:09,280
>> I'll give that one to you.

3267
02:16:09,280 --> 02:16:11,199
>> It's the rodeo dinner 7 o'clock on

3268
02:16:11,199 --> 02:16:13,440
Tuesday, August 4th. And they've asked

3269
02:16:13,440 --> 02:16:17,440
for an RSVP if you can make that.

3270
02:16:17,440 --> 02:16:18,719
So, I don't know if you all got that

3271
02:16:18,719 --> 02:16:20,400
invitation, but check your check your

3272
02:16:20,400 --> 02:16:22,800
emails for that.

3273
02:16:22,800 --> 02:16:25,920
Okay. I the only thing I have to is just

3274
02:16:25,920 --> 02:16:27,520
that we continue to meet with the

3275
02:16:27,520 --> 02:16:29,280
executive on Monday mornings and I think

3276
02:16:29,280 --> 02:16:32,960
those are very um productive meetings.

3277
02:16:32,960 --> 02:16:34,880
We're able to gives us a chance to

3278
02:16:34,880 --> 02:16:36,399
really flesh out and talk about some of

3279
02:16:36,399 --> 02:16:40,880
the things that are going on and I'll try and do a better job of giving

3280
02:16:40,880 --> 02:16:42,719
you all a report like here's what we

3281
02:16:42,719 --> 02:16:44,639
discussed and here's kind of where some

3282
02:16:44,639 --> 02:16:46,559
of the where we're at with some of those

3283
02:16:46,559 --> 02:16:48,880
things. That was my intent all along. I

3284
02:16:48,880 --> 02:16:50,319
just haven't done a good job of that. So

3285
02:16:50,319 --> 02:16:52,960
I'll do better.

3286
02:16:52,960 --> 02:16:56,000
Funny story is do you know how Janine

3287
02:16:56,000 --> 02:16:58,479
and the county put all the flags out

3288
02:16:58,479 --> 02:17:00,000
front?

3289
02:17:00,000 --> 02:17:04,399
So we have a picture of an individual

3290
02:17:04,399 --> 02:17:07,040
coming and turning them all upside down

3291
02:17:07,040 --> 02:17:09,040
and poking them in the ground.

3292
02:17:09,040 --> 02:17:09,840
>> Oh no.

3293
02:17:09,840 --> 02:17:12,800
>> Then then the we have a camera on the

3294
02:17:12,800 --> 02:17:15,040
thing. Couldn't identify the person that

3295
02:17:15,040 --> 02:17:18,639
did it. But about 30 minutes later, two

3296
02:17:18,639 --> 02:17:21,840
men in work clothes are jump out of

3297
02:17:21,840 --> 02:17:24,080
their truck and go along and turn every

3298
02:17:24,080 --> 02:17:25,519
one of them back up.

3299
02:17:25,519 --> 02:17:26,160
>> Good job.

3300
02:17:26,160 --> 02:17:27,519
>> That That's

3301
02:17:27,519 --> 02:17:27,920
>> Yeah,

02:17:27,920 --> 02:17:28,639
>> good for them.

02:17:28,639 --> 02:17:31,040
>> Good for Cash Valley citizens. That's

02:17:31,040 --> 02:17:34,559
