[12:39] Yes.
[12:41] They said a.
[12:53] We reap I ask
[13:37] least your
[13:39] meeting here today. Second terms matters of business. That are not
[13:43] our minds and spirit of fairness, right thoughts and speech. And parts of Supreme
[13:47] with them on our activities that are very, very successful conclusion. In Crossland, we pray.
[13:52] And we're going to make it happen. Please join me in a very big hands.
[13:55] I would love to be the president of the Library of the United States of America.
[13:59] And I'd like to read a lot of different research things. One of the many people,
[14:03] under God, in the physical, with the liberty of God, is for all. And now the Texas flag,
[14:09] on the protection flag.
[14:11] I would like to lead you to the taxes.
[14:14] One state under dollar on the news.
[14:26] In that, I'm going to forward,
[14:27] discussing the public matters of public participation.
[14:30] I have to Larry your first.
[14:35] Right.
[14:36] Black is heavy.
[14:38] You're definitely.
[14:40] So we are very proud that this is the second national red
[14:46] a historic place is black, received by Calming County, and this land was originally
[14:57] you get this is I think it'd be two
[15:00] Who the lighthouse, but the lens that we're going to put this on over as the mission, both unanimously, to place this flag at the museum. And because we have a lens there from 1872, that cost $12,000 from France in 1852. That's a pretty serious money. 1872. So anyway, we're proud to
[15:29] had this, we wanted to highlight it, and so forth. So, you know, we're going to have this at the
[15:38] museum, right? And then,
[15:45] we also, Vicky Cox, our museum curator, has arranged for
[15:54] Indian Ola exhibit to be at the library, if you haven't seen it. In 1875 Indian Ola
[16:02] had 5,000 people. It was the 5th largest city in Texas. It was Rowan and anyway and we have
[16:11] this exhibit. So we want to make sure you're aware of that, be here for 15 more days.
[16:19] And so anyway, you want to highlight the Indian Ella exhibit, it was what things were
[16:26] rocking and counting candy, that's for sure. So anyway, we've
[16:36] done in the historical
[16:37] commission this year that I think what we need to have seen is Team Stone Tuesday.
[16:49] So we
[16:50] every biography that we have shared in this year and we actually started in February of 25 so we
[17:01] shared these and to kind of remind everyone we have thirsty threads or for people that have
[17:11] in fact it definitely can't go around very well.
[17:15] And we have a podcast called Beyond the Tombstone.
[17:18] And Beyond the Tombstone, and the Tombstone Tuesday folks
[17:23] that really deserve credit are Jennifer Wyatt,
[17:27] Cheryl Quayar, and Jody Weaver.
[17:30] They do this every week and has thousands and thousands of views.
[17:36] And so we just want to give you a summary
[17:38] of who we've covered so far.
[17:39] And that is actually only when Tom enough the way he can pull up any one of these on the way so anyway, the commission is is
[17:51] Rock and we just want to share with you and let you know that this is a
[17:57] National Register to us is a big deal. So we wanted that one you said it's a
[18:03] Let you know where it was. It's an interesting way to come and show you out in the museum
[18:09] Thank you, Mr. Baker, Mr. Smith.
[18:13] Yeah.
[18:19] Mr. McGrath's taking us all.
[18:21] I just wanted to take the moment because Friday is a commemorative day.
[18:27] So this time, 25 years ago, I was looking for something to make sure my kids understand this stream.
[18:33] So, you know, came up to Carla.
[18:35] So, all my headlines, all the newspapers, head to Carla's.
[18:38] We're going to be discussing that.
[18:40] 7th grade English flashings.
[18:44] So this morning, we were going to get started on that,
[18:47] course, you know, the world changed in a moment. 13 days before I sit my son
[18:52] in Fort Sealed, Oklahoma, 18-year-old. So that day hit me doubly large in a lot of ways.
[19:01] I had teachers at the library, it was really good, they could have some
[19:05] television and stuff. We had a lot of teachers already talking to the kids about
[19:09] I'm like this is the wrong way to go with this. So during the day we put words on the
[19:16] words, terrorist, national, al-Qaeda, all of these words,
[19:21] and I started talking to kids about what those words meant.
[19:24] And I told them that day that we don't know
[19:26] what the tomorrow holds, we know today.
[19:29] And the days to come, letting things sink in,
[19:35] those words stayed on the board for over a week.
[19:37] And we just kept adding to it, trying to understand
[19:39] what was going on.
[19:41] Of course, on the other side, I was like, oh, right.
[19:45] My sense of poor sale.
[19:47] I didn't get to hear from him for 18 hours.
[19:50] He had looked at the cockiness of an 18-year-old, he says,
[19:54] Hey, mom, they let us call because you know,
[19:56] we can't, you can't converse with them.
[19:59] They let us call, just tell you, I'm OK.
[20:01] And I said, you know what's that?
[20:02] Because it's going to be OK, mom.
[20:04] We're good.
[20:05] But where I'm locked in, I've got to go.
[20:07] There's a big line here.
[20:09] So of course, I didn't hear we could get to hear from him
[20:11] until right at graduation.
[20:13] He's right.
[20:14] He did go to Iraq. He went to Mosul. He bought the world for this country.
[20:21] But at the same time, years later, we went to New York. It really wasn't changed to experience.
[20:28] You go to New York and see, I'm sorry, I'm going to take just a little bit longer if the bell goes off,
[20:32] but going to New York, watching the fire now, seeing the firehouse is still there,
[20:37] seeing the new freedom towers. One of the things that we forget now is to remember on Friday
[20:42] when we do the collaboration, this was a great tragedy, but it's also the world's greatest
[20:47] rescue operation. They say so many people. They say to them not to bring the votes in and
[20:54] they'd be evacuating them. When we went across the bridge that we saw on TV walking out of that
[21:00] desk, we saw, I think it was maybe a Burger King and the Stacks or whatever, all of these businesses
[21:08] is the turnage to regard centers. We saw the stairs which way most of those people came down.
[21:14] And when you go to the memorial, you see that everyone doing fools stuff going down,
[21:18] you see people that while they were lost, they're so many more regressed youth.
[21:23] I just want us to remember that while we have a great loss in our lives, there's always hope,
[21:28] there's always a good education because when we come together as American citizens,
[21:33] we love our brothers, love our sisters and we love this world. We can make
[21:37] We're all in a better place, but I remember that in great tragedy, here is great rescue.
[21:41] And just like the consciousness of the 18 year old, it's all going to be okay, well, we're good.
[21:48] Great, thank you.

[26:05] $13.00 and $1.00. Second. The motion of the second, however, the outline, I have the
[26:12] total same sign, motion periods.
[26:24] You and I, the number nine, consider and take
[26:26] necessary action to allow POCOA to sell beer, wine, and mixed beverages. We'll
[26:31] set them with the 26th, 20th, 26th, to give a domestic violence to the blue
[26:37] fundraiser at the Kingfish and Beach Park, a billion, and four kind of taxes
[26:41] and authorized, got a gesture sign, got our approval to the TABC. I spoke with Commissioner
[26:49] Rees. They have actually we've approved this couple of weeks back. They're actually going
[26:56] to change the name of that. That's all they've done on the licensure. So we've already approved
[27:04] this, but we're going to put it in under different names. They have all the insurance and security
[27:10] that thing has been taken care of. So move it.
[27:14] In a motion, in a second, all the members say aye.
[27:19] Both same side. Again, it isn't approved.
[27:25] Again, I remember TN.
[27:31] Is it an effectiveness action to approve updates
[27:34] to the Calvin County Furniture Stability Item 8, 9, and 12?
[27:39] Listen.
[27:40] We updated a couple of sections. Section number A was referenced way back in the day when
[27:49] we used a three-part purchaser, and so we just updated the wording of that to current
[27:58] procedures. Number nine, updated a little bit more information about the department being
[28:07] responsible for checking their budgets to keep line items funded and more
[28:20] or less just saying that they can't spend more than they've been appropriated.
[28:26] And number 12, we added a section for constables volunteer
[28:34] fire departments and other county operating operations without a county office to use the
[28:41] auditor's office as the billing address. We also included a county auditor email address.
[28:52] So things don't slip through the cracks. We've had something recently happen in that same past
[28:59] The last two invoices were not identified and instead were just requiring certain elected officials that don't have county offices to use our address as billing address.
[29:17] I move to approve the updates to county purchasing policy, I was eight, nine, and twelve.
[29:23] Second.
[29:24] The motion of the second.
[29:25] I would favor say aye.
[29:26] Aye.
[29:27] Opposed time, time.
[29:29] Here's none.
[29:30] It's the past.
[29:34] Again, the item 11.
[29:38] It's hit or it takes necessary action on the rise of Beverly Smith with first assembly of
[29:42] We've got a church to seek to do a reserve at the committee and a biosandre's Memorial Park on Sunday, October 26th, so we'll move to the second.
[29:53] We've got a motion at a second, all in favor say hi.
[29:56] All right.
[29:56] Oh, same side.
[29:58] Hear him down.
[29:59] Let's do it.
[30:05] Item number, well, consider and take necessary action to approve preliminary flat of four, four, four, four, five, four, five,
[30:14] three, seven, division, number, one.
[30:17] You ready? Well, I wish they had exciting news, but this is very simple, just like that.
[30:23] that most of them are. This is part of Steve Bell's estate in Fort O'Connor, the work
[30:29] for that brought to combine pieces of the property that were purchased and set into one law.
[30:39] All the infrastructures in place, water and sewer, is provided by what kind of
[30:44] district, the rooms are in place. There will be no check, so I'm trying to reach forward
[30:51] by as this. I don't think the happy to answer any questions, is there anything you'd like?
[30:58] I spoke with Commissioner Rees and he was a paper developer, so I'm going to get a motion
[31:06] in a second. All I'm going to say have, I'm going to say inside, take care.
[31:12] Thank you.
[31:18] Again, item number 13, consider and take necessary action to approve the preliminary flat.
[31:24] For the counter-counts, that brought 37.
[31:27] Reset division number two.
[31:31] This, actually, we're making one larger lobby to some of our classrooms.
[31:39] There's a existing residence on one of the blocks.
[31:41] it has sewer service water service in place, a water and some of it is available for
[31:48] more than $500,000 to $15,000 to $15,000 to be vacant while a drainage will not be affected.
[31:55] Payable avenue was in place, but lots of access, existing access to pay or anything.
[32:05] And again, I spoke with Commissioner Reece and he was in that problem with this area or so.
[32:11] second. In a motion of the second, all of their is the eye eye eye. Those same sign.
[32:18] We pass. Thank you.
[32:20] Thank you.
[32:25] Jim bottom number 14.
[32:29] Considering that they passed the action to approve the specifications.
[32:32] The contract documents will be at number 2026.
[32:37] at column 7, Gownont County Gestures and the reading room, the Calvin County text and
[32:43] the author of GMW Engineers and Co-operated and the county author have advertised the
[32:48] BIDs.
[32:49] A mandatory preview shall be held at TNAAM.
[32:53] FUSA said there were 20, now a 2006 at the Christmas Forum.
[32:57] Healed BIDs are scheduled to be due before 2PM or Thursday.
[33:01] I'll fill with a 22nd, 2026, and Cal, if the county gets it out.
[33:07] It's time.
[33:08] Yes.
[33:08] Good morning.
[33:09] I'm like I said, well, like it reads, we've prepared the plans and contract documents for
[33:16] Lord of the Dote Indigenous Interrupt, approximately 30,000 square feet or so of roof that it doesn't
[33:24] need to be replaced.
[33:25] I believe it ever can speak to the fact that it is in the budget.
[33:30] And so we'd like to go out for bids for this project this year and try to see if we can get started on it.
[33:36] So, I'm not sure if there's any other questions or comments and Anthony and Everett are here in case there is.
[33:45] We're ready to go. We've kind of fact checked this thing since it all authorized it and got stuff going so we can get it started this year.
[33:56] That's good.
[33:57] Good.
[33:59] We've got a motion on a second.
[34:01] All the papers say aye.
[34:02] All right.
[34:03] Both same sign.
[34:05] Good kids.
[34:06] Thank you.
[34:10] agenda item number 15.
[34:12] Consider an essay action.
[34:14] Do I have the right agenda of the engineers to release any.
[34:17] And then.
[34:18] Necessary.
[34:19] You've been bidding not enough.
[34:20] It's approved by the county judge.
[34:22] That is related to bid number 2026.
[34:25] That's everything.
[34:25] I mean, gallon kind of jail, free room,
[34:28] or gallon kind of deck.
[34:30] You wanna speak on that?
[34:33] I don't know what's, I took it.
[34:35] I would like to make sure it's the word fast track a lot.
[34:40] So that kind of goes along with this,
[34:42] we want to be able to get the items out
[34:46] and also shorten down the window of as much as we could
[34:54] it, as far as from the time you advertise put in the paper to the time we open bids.
[35:00] So this allows us to make sure that we get to bids.
[35:04] We want to definitely get on me number four Thanksgiving and all that kind of stuff.
[35:09] And so with this in place, it's approved.
[35:12] We can make sure that we try to keep on the scale for this title as possible.
[35:16] We can get it.
[35:17] And Scott.
[35:18] Yes.
[35:18] Okay.
[35:18] So move.
[35:19] Thank you.
[35:20] and a motion in a second, a fair say out.
[35:24] So at the same time you know that it's,
[35:26] you included that,
[35:32] weird a pass on the board.
[35:36] It did an out of number 16 and 17.
[35:40] So I needed a motion to do aerve.
[35:42] A motion in second all fair say out.
[35:46] Your vote needs to be fair.
[35:47] Thank you.
[35:49] We passed to the fair judge,
[35:51] it was time,
