staff and 54 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,520 everyone at Carver County happy New Year any other public announcements commun 55 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:52,000 announcements Mr chair commissioner I myself on uh given my reasons for my 56 00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:55,520 vote so I use a few minutes to talk about that now uh on the nomination 57 00:05:54,039 --> 00:06:00,240 process the last three years and you'll see it also in the um packet for today 58 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,639 for proposed agenda an announcements you're see an increased movement of 59 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,240 other County boards um other City councils other townships to move towards 60 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:12,240 a rotation process to take the politics out of who's going to hold the Gabel to 61 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:18,080 create Clarity for staff so you can anticipate the future so in the course 62 00:06:14,599 --> 00:06:22,599 of the last 20 two years now um one commissioner district has been notably 63 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,199 uh uh absent from holding the gavel I think everybody who dly elected should 64 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,800 have the same burden and benefit of holding that gavel I also think that six 65 00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:33,080 out of the last nine years years the vice president has moved to the chair 66 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,880 creating again a chance for the staff to know who's going to be the leader and 67 00:06:34,599 --> 00:06:40,280 hold that gabble throughout the course of the year so for those reasons I did 68 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:43,759 not vote for the nomination because Tom should have moved into the chair role 69 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,360 and then either District Four or District three should have moved in the 70 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:51,120 vice chair role to be here for 2025 other announcements that I had over 71 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,880 the course of the holiday I had a chance to be out in about in a number of our 72 00:06:52,599 --> 00:06:58,879 buildings and talk to a lot of our staff had a see chance to see the new Paradise 73 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:03,759 Commons building at Lake ponia it looks beautiful signage is up um that's been 74 00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:06,960 quite an Endeavor not only for the acquisition of that property over the 75 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:11,919 course of 20 some years but also the development of it and Marty and his team 76 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:15,440 have led that I'm perfect at times but um it's a beautiful building and I hope 77 00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:17,919 our community gets great use out of that had a chance to go to the First Street 78 00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:21,639 Center that sometimes we forget about it's our mental health facility and I 79 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,840 know that that's on the horizon for when it comes to space planning but um that 80 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:30,520 business that building was active out of necessity around the holidays and uh 81 00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:33,840 pardon me said say that in this sense that it's a necessity throughout the 82 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,759 holidays some of us had the luxury of stepping away from the office taking 83 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,919 some time off being with our families um the instances of mental health and 84 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,120 mental health challenges um elevates at this time of year so appreciate the 85 00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:47,919 staff that were there had a chance to be at the government center and meet with a 86 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:52,039 ton of people the DMVs and the libraries libraries were packed and the DMV was as 87 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,960 well and so um Dave and your team thank you for that um scheduling has been a a 88 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,879 chance for us to to get more people through that door um in as much as I 89 00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:02,759 would have liked that to be an empty room where people in and out there's a 90 00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:06,319 high demand because I know that we're delivering good service there so thank 91 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,319 you to your teams had a chance to be a lot of gatherings and I think a lot of 92 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,520 times we go to a lot of things right we go to the alliance club we go to the 93 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,080 legion we go out and about in the community um but it's what we bring back 94 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,639 to this boardroom and make an impact of and the two common themes that I heard 95 00:08:17,479 --> 00:08:23,840 among all the Gatherings that I was is number one overall affordability 96 00:08:21,159 --> 00:08:28,000 including taxes not just um the taxes that we decide the city taxes Township 97 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,840 taxes and otherwise and how it's impacting Our Youth and our Next 98 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,440 Generation being simply unaffordable for people to live here and the second theme 99 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:40,120 I heard over and over and over and over and over again was mental health in our 100 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:44,720 in our um world um not just from a perspective of HHS but also from law 101 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,600 enforcement attorney's office families Etc it's something that's pling us in so 102 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,600 many ways our county is the gold standard when it comes to addressing 103 00:08:49,959 --> 00:08:57,640 those things um I want to wish Happy New Year to all the staff um and the people 104 00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:01,440 that are watching the community and also wanted to underscore the importance and 105 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,040 the impact of not for-profit Civic organizations Faith organizations and 106 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,519 the Partnerships that we have a number of those were elevated through this 107 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,200 holiday um one of that I'll elevate my daughter and I volunteer every couple 108 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,720 weeks at the Bountiful Baskets U their demand is up almost two times from last 109 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:21,680 year that doesn't mean that there's two times more people um that are trying to 110 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,720 find a a way for free food it means that there's two times more need in our 111 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,720 community and so I think it's Our obligation and opportunity as a board um 112 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,600 to address those and again in so many ways we done that with a good standard 113 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,839 and all those people in the room right now I've done that I'm looking at 114 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,200 Heather I'm looking at Sheriff camon I'm looking at Sarah these are not easy 115 00:09:36,839 --> 00:09:42,800 things to do and their needs within our community that will get bigger not 116 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:47,839 smaller in the next year so thank you chair thank you commissioner urman any 117 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:53,519 other public announcements this morning um with that we'll continue on with our 118 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:57,519 oh wish everybody a Happy New Year um and hopefully

with the the switching of 123 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:24,160 item what 8.2 to 9.2 any second we have a motion add a 124 00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:27,720 second motion by commissioner udman second by

from the amendment thanks okay we do have that in front of us um any 129 00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:55,160 discussion on that motion all in favor of the motion uh as 130 00:10:50,279 --> 00:11:00,600 stated say I I I oppose motion carries item number three 2024 board operating 131 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:07,160 rule rules with that I'll turn it over to administrator hemp thank you Mr chair 132 00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:14,240 as we ask you to do every year and you required to by State Statute we have the 133 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:20,920 proposed operating rules in your packet the only changes that I 134 00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:24,240 proposed are listed on page five of your packet by the way there are a couple 135 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:29,839 page numbers so I'm referring to your packet page page five of your packet 136 00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:33,519 where we're clarifying that outside of the metro area overnight expenses 137 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:38,040 associated with conferences are eligible for reimbursement that's the way we've 138 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:42,639 been handling it we just added that clarification to make sure everybody 139 00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:47,800 understands that and then on page 11 of your packet there's a change related to 140 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:53,800 the youth Library board appointment to clarify the timing on the age 141 00:11:51,440 --> 00:12:00,120 restriction 18 and under which we bumped into this past year so those are 142 00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:03,680 relatively simple changes and then again you should you should have a hand out in 143 00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:09,120 front of you and that was distributed proposing other changes that 144 00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:13,920 those proposed changes were made by commissioner wman so I'll stand for 145 00:12:11,959 --> 00:12:21,240 questions any questions for administrative he on proposed 146 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:28,519 changes if not um is there we can either take it the mo have a motion for the 147 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:35,040 whole uh accepting the whole operating rule or we can um talk about each 148 00:12:31,839 --> 00:12:35,040 section by 149 00:12:35,959 --> 00:12:40,440 themselves what's the wishes of the board at this 150 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:50,839 point I think there excuse Mr the relatively minor changes I would move 151 00:12:48,839 --> 00:12:56,600 approval okay we have a motion by commissioner Lynch is there a 152 00:12:53,720 --> 00:13:00,839 second go ahead just for discussion we're well we should have a second 153 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,839 before we have 154 00:13:01,199 --> 00:13:09,800 discussion I I second including the um proposed changes that were 155 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:15,000 presented okay we have a motion and second to approve the operating rules as 156 00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:19,240 for presented by m administrator hamy now discussion commissioner F yeah I I 157 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:25,120 just wanted to make that clarification it's not what's on the agenda propos 158 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:29,920 agenda amendments that are in front of us we talking about what's in our 159 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,600 back I believe that's correct because those are coming up at 160 00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:40,480 9.2 my second uh was to include the items that were number three um and pull 161 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:44,320 them in in totality for the board operating if that wasn't your intent Tim 162 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:51,680 then I withdraw so I will second Mr Lynch 163 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:56,880 motion okay we have a motion made and second I there discussion on the 164 00:13:53,880 --> 00:14:02,519 proposed operating rules as presented by administrator hem Mr ch just seek a 165 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:07,079 Clarity um if if these were to be passed as proposed and seconded um would these 166 00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:10,880 be on the table as well they would not uh Mr chair commissioner they would not 167 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:16,000 if you want them on the table that would be an amendment to the main motion you 168 00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:20,040 can do that in a few ways one would be to just propose the whole list of 169 00:14:18,079 --> 00:14:26,199 changes or you could propose one at a time or a couple at a 170 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:29,720 time but U the key is that you're amend you're proposing to amend that main 171 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,240 motion so I'll use a few minutes to explain 172 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:39,440 these um they shouldn't come as any surprise because them multiple times um 173 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:44,000 in E under officers I'm proposing to take the politics out of the rotation 174 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:47,880 for officers I give the staff ability to plan ahead see a natural rotation that's 175 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:52,759 predictable and and some points that were made in our last board meeting 176 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:59,279 quest for transparency um the full full uh context can be shared there under G 177 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:02,880 monthly expense allowance um again it was brought up in a previous meeting 178 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:07,639 about prudent use of taxpayer dollars and transparency at that time we 179 00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:12,040 Revisited a um policy that was established before my agenting the board 180 00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:17,480 in 2008 where every commissioner was uh granted $4,000 of expense on a yearly 181 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,800 basis and if they put those items on the agenda um in the beginning of the year 182 00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:24,519 we didn't have to drag those throughs on an individual basis that also applied to 183 00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:29,639 any other elected office U and their ability to put those items down that 184 00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:34,240 item passed um but what did not pass and was not accepted um was the transparency 185 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:38,839 of the monthly allowance that we use or each issued a monthly allowance um to be 186 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,360 used out of leisure The Proposal says each commissioner shall be allocated an 187 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,040 annual conference and training budget with an amount to be determined 188 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,720 according to the annual budget process conference and training funds not used 189 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:52,240 by an individual commissioner during each respective budgetary year will be 190 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,959 returned to the general fund at current There's an opportunity if for instance I 191 00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:00,639 didn't use mine I could offer it to Tim if he was using double the amount and so 192 00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:05,680 that's my my proposed amendment another language is uh current um we each get a 193 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:09,360 stien for our cell phone a number of board members utilize uh additional 194 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:13,720 dollars above and beyond our stien for printer cartridges and other expenses my 195 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,560 proposal says cell phone expenses printer cartridges along with any 196 00:16:15,319 --> 00:16:21,839 expense $50 or less are not eligible for reimbursement and can be paid for out of 197 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:25,480 that monthly allowance next item is broadcasting it's come to my attention 198 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:29,639 that there's a growing number of cities townships and counties that are using a 199 00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:32,920 best practice that gives um board work sessions the ability to be observed um 200 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:37,160 from people that don't have an ability to get get to the boardroom um and can 201 00:16:35,319 --> 00:16:40,000 be seen and so my language on that one is all regular meetings of the Carver 202 00:16:38,839 --> 00:16:44,279 County Board of Commissioners are streamed live and recorded for on demand 203 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:48,079 viewing via YouTube All Work sessions are streamed live with the option to 204 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,880 join remotely I'm calling to order to the meeting and to the adjournment of 205 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:55,120 the meeting's regular session again a best practice it's seen by a lot of 206 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:58,600 others next up is preparation and distribution I think we talked about 207 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,240 this on a couple of occasion my proposed languages the County Administrator shall 208 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,880 include an item on the proposed agenda at least three days prior to the meeting 209 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:09,319 for which the agenda is to be prepared any person for any reason at any time 210 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:13,919 may move any consent item to the agenda and then a duly elected official may add 211 00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:18,480 any agenda item that may have material impact or requested by the district or 212 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:21,400 uh County stakeholders at current I believe we're only the only city 213 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:25,240 Township or county that doesn't allow anybody to pull anything off consent and 214 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:28,919 needs a first a second and a majority vote I believe that that flies in the 215 00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:35,280 face of a representative democracy um and then finally if we move 216 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:39,120 down uh to the last item which is uh proposed uh to move ahead the board 217 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:43,840 packet you know sometimes we talked about um transparency we also talked 218 00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:47,160 about uh being able to have a chance to adequately review couple times during 219 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,760 the course of the year that wasn't the case for reasons that were Beyond us um 220 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,360 but what I'm proposing is the board agenda packet including meeting agenda 221 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,240 and supporting materials shall be received digitally by each member of the 222 00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:01,440 board no later than Friday preceding the regular Tuesday meeting I think far too 223 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:05,640 often we receive some items on Monday or Tuesday that could have been received on 224 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:10,039 Friday with adequate time to digest so I will ask that a friendly Amendment be 225 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,559 inclusive of these things that were uh put the taxpayer first Le transparency 226 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,360 they're predictable give us a chance to plan ahead and give some certainty for 227 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,360 our 228 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:32,200 staff is there a motion that is a motion um to accept all those after a unit 229 00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:38,960 excuse me we have a motion and a second to accept those as a unit any more 230 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:43,039 discussion on the now discussion on the amendment yeah I guess I'm confused 231 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:46,720 because there was a motion second on the floor then there's another motion second 232 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,159 do we have two on the floor I thought a Bard Opera rules am if I understand 233 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:56,360 commissioner urman is amending the original motion oh okay I do not wish to 234 00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:02,400 accept the amendment you wish to come in this 235 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:10,720 no I at this point uh we have a second to the amendment so now we're having 236 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:17,799 discussion on the amendment the amended motion and your point is you 237 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:22,440 would uh commissioner uh Lynch what are you saying on original motion maker I do 238 00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:27,320 not accept the amendment I believe these are unnecessary we've operated without 239 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:32,200 these uh rules yeah but at this point commissioner Lynch uh you don't have to 240 00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:37,039 accept oh okay yeah it's we're going to vote on the proposed 241 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:41,919 amendment and it's any other discussion on the 242 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:47,559 proposed amendment all I can say is there's a lot 243 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:54,440 of these items that are listed there some that have um more in my mind 244 00:19:51,840 --> 00:20:01,440 legitimacy than others but as a whole unit um I can't support the whole unit 245 00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:06,720 being passed at that point any other discussion on the proposed amendment 246 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:15,600 seeing then all in favor of the proposed amendment say I I I oppose I I motion 247 00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:22,200 fails the amendment fails uh on a two to three vote now we're back to discussion 248 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:28,919 on the original amend the original proposed 249 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:34,000 um moot main motion thank you motion any more discussion on the propos 250 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:43,320 uh the main motion seeing none all in favor of the M 251 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:48,799 motion say I I I

unable to attend that meeting okay is there an 285 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:58,640 alternate that or somebody else would like to take commissioner Workman spot 286 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:05,000 on that kitchen cabinet do you commissioner Workman can you tell 287 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:13,240 us when those meetings probably would be meeting right now about every week at 3 288 00:24:09,159 --> 00:24:18,440 o' what day any other day of the week uh let me check Mr chair I'm I I've 289 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:23,720 been participating in those by the way and I will continue to do that and they 290 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:29,880 will be wrapping up once the task for I think once the task for once the main I 291 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:37,399 what the call the the main panel makes our recommendations to the 292 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:43,320 legislature double checks if I have remind everybody M commissioner 293 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:50,000 Workman what the the kitchen cabinet what their main goal 294 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:56,600 was uh this this was an expanded group uh to create input into the legislative 295 00:24:53,799 --> 00:25:02,960 request to review the Metropolitan governance uh 296 00:24:59,159 --> 00:25:07,360 they I think AMC appointed Bingham from Washington County if I'm correct so this 297 00:25:05,919 --> 00:25:13,000 so this group the intent of this group was to have a voice by the remaining 298 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:19,240 Metropolitan counties to in particular bangham as she is it bigam as she uh 299 00:25:16,919 --> 00:25:24,520 provides direct input into the into the main group making recommendations to the 300 00:25:22,399 --> 00:25:28,880 legislature so I think it is important to have uh for me to have some 301 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:33,919 assistance from a board although you don't need to participate in every one 302 00:25:30,399 --> 00:25:40,279 of these but other Commissioners are attending anybody showing interest uh Mr 303 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:44,679 chair I do see at least one meeting January 304 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:51,320 22nd it's a Monday at two o'clock I think they time had 305 00:25:49,000 -->

00:26:23,399 --> 00:26:31,520 also if not we'll leave that one open for now 313 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:36,080 yeah Mr chair what I would do then is I prer back to who's ever on the 314 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:40,640 legislative committee or for guidance if needed we'll see where that that group 315 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:43,919 ends up they're getting into some pretty uh they're getting the weeds some the 316 00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:47,480 issu so I I feel like I'm venturing a little far sometimes so I'll I'll Circle 317 00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:54,080 back to the legislative committee if we don't have an appointment there sounds 318 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:59,880 good um that board of directors I'll stay on that commissioner udman you want 319 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:07,799 to be alterate that's fine um Arts committee order R and Workman that's 320 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:12,760 fine okay uh CDA Fe you know before we do that one yes Mr chair um this is such 321 00:27:11,159 --> 00:27:16,200 an important board and and I know that we're in a state of flux for a lot of 322 00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:20,240 reasons and it's probably the most dynamic decade if CDA is not only 323 00:27:18,919 --> 00:27:24,919 because of the dollars and the things that have been approved um but also the 324 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:29,360 the future need that's here and I just did a quick look um our lays on in the 325 00:27:27,679 --> 00:27:33,200 last half of the year um did not attend half of the meetings for that CDA I 326 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:37,559 think we deserve better there so I'd be happy to step up and be that role for 327 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,559 the CDA this 328 00:27:38,399 --> 00:27:46,600 year Well commissioner F you were on there um you want to give that up or you 329 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:53,799 want to stay on the CDA at this point I would like to stay on it um Mr chair and 330 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:59,519 yeah just unfortunate with the schedule and other meetings that took place 331 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,880 definitely do enjoy the the CDA 332 00:28:05,159 --> 00:28:13,080 and um with your long history on the CDA and you're right uh CDA is going through 333 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:19,080 some obviously uh important times in the for 334 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:25,440 the county uh we'll point point we'll keep 335 00:28:21,559 --> 00:28:31,000 um we'll point fahe to that and keep udman commissioner udman as alternate at 336 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,480 this point Mr chair I just ask I think it's just inferred and assumed but 337 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:40,440 professional courtesy to let me know if you're aable to attend JP thank you that 338 00:28:36,679 --> 00:28:45,080 is correct if if the man person man commissioner is unable to for whatever 339 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:51,960 reason uh that's why we do have alternates and uh we should utilize them 340 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:56,960 that's for sure and also Mr chair if there is any other board member that's 341 00:28:54,919 --> 00:29:02,919 interested in being the alternate for the seat da if uh I would be open 342 00:29:00,399 --> 00:29:08,720 for any individuals that would like to do that okay thank you I will keep that 343 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:14,000 on the list uh CDA has always been obviously an 344 00:29:10,279 --> 00:29:19,519 important issue for the county Mr shair just a point of clarification this is a 345 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:24,559 required vote for these appointments and you typically do that as a 346 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:30,880 slate if there is disagreement I would suggest removing any any individual 347 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:36,360 items and that would require a motion second and and majority vote okay let's 348 00:29:34,000 -->

Commission F Lynch Mr chair I just want to bring it 446 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:22,359 to the attention of the people that the back half of 447 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:25,560 2023 our lay on missed 60% of the meetings are we sure that that's the 448 00:39:24,079 --> 00:39:28,440 individual that we want representing us on the Planning Commission 449 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:42,920 at this point we'll leave it that way uh but let's make sure that uh we 450 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:48,240 have the communication out there that um somebody can fill in if the regular 451 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:52,240 person is gone I mean these are important things commissioner dler I 452 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:57,040 agree I mean economic development is tied to that um we've been reminded many 453 00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:01,560 times that it's largely a function of the rural community and it just it just 454 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:05,599 seems like 60% of the time we're missing our meetings are we really at service of 455 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:09,000 the people I just have to ask that I I don't know that I could support um I 456 00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:11,280 don't know if I could support the current 457 00:40:11,319 --> 00:40:19,520 appointment and since I'm excuse me Mr chair since I'm the chair or the liais 458 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:25,319 on to that committee and there again with various conflicts with the 459 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:32,440 scheduling just with the knowledge base and I bring to that board and just to be 460 00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:38,560 able to work with the staff in a very positive way and I I don't think it 461 00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:46,520 would be very helpful with uh the disrup disruption that take would take place 462 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:50,400 if okay at this point the appointment is commissioner FEI and alternative 463 00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:55,800 commissioner Lynch Mr chair it's not just a lay on it's the only um sizable 464 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,960 board that it's a voting member so it really puts our our staff at a 465 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:03,720 disadvantage when we're looking for a quorum or a number of votes so um I I'd 466 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:09,000 like to take that one to a vote if you don't mind okay 467 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:13,440 um do we have a motion I'll make the motion to appoint commissioner fahe with 468 00:41:11,359 --> 00:41:21,119 alternate commissioner Lynch is there a second second any 469 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:31,079 discussion uh all in favor of the motion uh say I I I oppose I I motion carries 470 00:41:26,839 --> 00:41:36,920 on a three to2 vote uh the point made on all of these we've uh gone through a 471 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:41,440 bunch of the Committees that um yeah it's important that people um if you're 472 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:45,720 appointed to the committee show up to the committee and I think maybe that's 473 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:53,599 something we should probably put on our regular agenda we've had it in the past 474 00:41:48,839 --> 00:41:58,240 years that we have um basically reports towards the end of our meeting and what 475 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:03,359 committees we've been able to attend what committees uh and what some of the 476 00:42:01,359 --> 00:42:09,800 major work that these committees have done um it's something that has was 477 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:16,319 actually taken off our agenda a number of years ago because for a lack of time 478 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:20,200 or lack of whatever uh we just didn't get to the reports but I think we all 479 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:26,880 have um Diane put that back on so that we all 480 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:31,760 when we go to our regular me meetings that we can report back some of the 481 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:37,200 things that are going on at these committees because uh commissioner udman 482 00:42:34,319 --> 00:42:43,800 is very correct on pointing out many times uh Carver County in a lot of 483 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:50,040 meetings I'm ask the same thing hey where is your other appointees to not 484 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:56,440 only the committee that I have to be sitting on but at some of these other uh 485 00:42:52,720 --> 00:43:05,480 board meetings and uh it is important uh we were um and we should be continuing 486 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:10,119 to go uh our work isn't just today it's our work is um out of these committee 487 00:43:08,319 --> 00:43:15,800 meetings that we attend um with that Mr 488 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:21,079 chair agree it's important but uh you do have an 489 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:25,000 agenda the format listed in your operating roles so if you go back to 490 00:43:22,319 --> 00:43:25,000 page 10 of your 491 00:43:25,079 --> 00:43:32,960 packet item Item B the board wants to formally change 492 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:40,280 that that was formally changed well it's been quite a while I don't

just as 497 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:10,000 a as a time place saver that a person reports 498 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:15,160 back as to something but good point that we already approved the order our 499

00:49:23,640 Mr chair uh commissioner F I would be uh in favor of making a motion 550 00:49:20,359 --> 00:49:28,720 to accept the application from J Ro and also Troy Williams to fill the CDA 551

I'll support that but I 557 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:12,319 also want to know that it's somewhat unconventional for somebody to go 558 00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:16,280 outside a district um it seems to be something that commissioner FY has done 559 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:20,400 regularly in my time on the board anyway and I think the professional courtesy is 560 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:24,319 is that if it's your District um you you lead that appointment so I 561 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:28,119 enthusiastically support J row to the CDA I think it's more prudent that we 562 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,920

point uh Sheriff camon I think you're 657 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:15,640 gonna take that take it away Sheriff Mr chair members of the board thank you for 658 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:20,440 having me today and giving me a few minutes to talk about this I think that 659 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:28,480 the uh the board action narrative that's in your packet sufficiently outlines 660 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:34,400 what uh what I intend to do and and uh the rationale for it um but I I do want 661 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:39,359 to provide just a little bit of added context and and a little bit of backdrop 662 00:59:36,839 --> 00:59:44,079 frame it up for you the decision making process yeah explain to the public who's 663 00:59:42,039 --> 00:59:51,200 listening that have doesn't have the background information that you provided 664 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:56,640 to us uh what you try to do so there are in in the law enforcement World there 665 00:59:53,000 --> 01:00:04,119 are typically as a Rel to Firearms programs there are agency issued 666 00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:11,000 Firearms it's really common and employee owned Firearms is also really comp and 667 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:16,920 so there's really not a right or wrong way to do it it's just agencies make 668 01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:23,240 decisions based on what seems to work for them larger agencies typically have 669 01:00:20,039 --> 01:00:28,799 agency issued Firearms smaller agencies typically are 670 01:00:26,119 --> 01:00:34,839 employee so looking at Carver County going back to the 90s you might remember 671 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:41,280 in the 80s and earlier cops all carried revolvers around the late 80s early 90s 672 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:47,559 then semi-automatic kind of became the norm and and in caror County we had 673 01:00:44,359 --> 01:00:54,319 employee owned revolver semi owns I can only go back to 1990 because that's when 674 01:00:49,559 --> 01:00:57,520 I started I I remember this um and so we went went with that and we had employees 675 01:00:55,880 --> 01:01:04,039 who carried revolvers all through the 90s and Bud Olson was elected sheriff in 676 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:11,880 98 began his term in 1999 and and somewhere around the 677 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:17,760 2000s uh he drove the agency to get out of the revolvers entirely and every 678 01:01:15,359 --> 01:01:23,720 employee uh or deputy sheriff would carry a sem my auto we did some work 679 01:01:20,359 --> 01:01:27,599 internally and decided would be two models 680 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:32,559 from each of two manufacturers for a total of four right Sheriff I hate to 681 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:37,400 interrupt but some people don't know what's the difference between a revolver 682 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:42,799 and a semi-automatic yeah well I I appreciate that uh you know um I'm not 683 01:01:40,319 --> 01:01:49,160 really sure how to explain it other than one is a firearm that has a cylinder 684 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:55,319 with bullets in it and as you pull the trigger the cylinder rotates and 685 01:01:52,200 --> 01:02:00,799 presents the next like you movies like you would see in the in the Spaghetti 686 01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:05,599 Westerns right and a semi-auto it feeds the bullets from the bottom typically 687 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:09,760 and as the slide comes back it ejects the spent cartridge it loads a new 688 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:18,559 cartridge and and you fire it it that way um both basically have the same 689 01:02:14,359 --> 01:02:22,359 function though in so far as uh you know there's the there's the grip end of it 690 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:26,640 and there's the dangerous end of it and pull the trigger bullets come out the 691 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:32,799 dangerous that's that's a gross simplification but to just help with 692 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:38,880 that so so anyways going back um Sheriff Olson drove bu Olson that is drove the 693 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:46,720 policy to two manufacturers two calibers of ammunition 694 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:51,880 and um so that that narrowed it down quite a bit for us and everybody was 695 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:56,880 carrying semi-auto it was also Deputy owned and well if you for those who work 696 01:02:54,520 --> 01:03:00,640 with bu and he really liked a freezed in approach to things so he would set 697 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,559 things out and it would take a couple of years to get to the end game of 698 01:03:02,119 --> 01:03:08,160 everybody there but that was Bud's methodology and it worked and and 699 01:03:08,279 --> 01:03:17,000 uh and so that's how we got to where we are today with employee owned semi AAS 700 01:03:14,079 --> 01:03:23,200 now what happened over the years is technology Chang manufacturers came out 701 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:27,839 with different products uh employees started to you know they like this 702 01:03:24,839 --> 01:03:33,599 firearm over that and and frankly they're all pretty good Firearms it's a 703 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:38,839 Chevy Ford Dodge pickup argument if you ask me they're they're all pretty good 704 01:03:35,799 --> 01:03:43,279 today and um 705 01:03:40,559 --> 01:03:48,559 we so because that happened and this was over B Olson and Jim Sheriff Jim wison 706 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:51,799 we started to add more firearms and add more and more and more and the deputies 707 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:57,880 were coming every year with oh we want this and we want and so I made a a 708 01:03:55,880 --> 01:04:05,000 policy decision shortly after being elected that I really just want to 709 01:04:00,839 --> 01:04:13,039 regulate the ammunition because the that's the part that is the most 710 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:18,520 concerning on the if there's a youth is the ammunition that actually does the 711 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:24,799 creates the wound cavity and and um whatnot and it also then ended the 712 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:30,599 argument of should I have a Chevy or afford or you know pick your brand right 713 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:36,200 and um it also as we were recruiting one of 714 01:04:34,119 --> 01:04:42,079 the things that we hear when we hire new employees is yeah great come work for us 715 01:04:39,799 --> 01:04:47,680 now you got to go buy this firearm that they may not already own and so their 716 01:04:44,599 --> 01:04:52,079 startup cost to be a new employee is over 717 01:04:49,039 --> 01:04:56,920 ,000 give or take depending upon which make and model they choose 718 01:04:54,920 --> 01:05:02,920 and so that's a that's a little bit of a a hit when when you're hiring um and so 719 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:07,760 by allowing them to bring in a firearm they Pro they may very well have already 720 01:05:04,799 --> 01:05:14,119 owned um and it opened up options on the price scale too by adopting that policy 721 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:24,839 U that seemed to be an okay solution at the time so fast forward so 2022 is uh 722 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:31,880 2023 there there's the one of the more common popular law enforcement 723 01:05:28,079 --> 01:05:38,039 firearms um is currently in litigation over the firearm 724 01:05:33,799 --> 01:05:43,400 discharging um without operator input and generally speaking when we H when we 725 01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:49,279 see an unintentional discharge we almost always assume it's operator air and you 726 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:53,160 know the gun doesn't go off unless your unless your finger or something else 727 01:05:51,079 --> 01:06:01,000 pops the trigger right I mean that's just the general mechanics of and 728 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:06,760 um and so we left it at them said okay they'll sort it out if it's a design 729 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:12,119 flaw whatever it'll get sorted up and then we started seeing videos on 730 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:17,079 YouTube uh where it's this is actually a pretty good video where a young woman 731 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:23,160 it's a cop in somewhere in the south is carrying her firearm she asserts 732 01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:28,559 bolstered in her Duty bag she's walking through the the uh police parking lot 733 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:33,520 and the firearm goes off in the back shoots her in the 734 01:06:29,799 --> 01:06:39,520 pelvis um and it's the security camera from the police parking lot is how we 735 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:43,680 captured this or how they captured that well she asserts it's in the holster 736 01:06:42,359 --> 01:06:47,559 everybody else says it couldn't have been it wouldn't have happened I don't 737 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:53,279 know it's under litigation there's 100 PL DS against the manufacturer so but it 738 01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:57,279 but because I saw this video of clearly I mean you can see she's just carrying a 739 01:06:54,920 --> 01:07:02,039 bag and it goes off so that prompted me to go all right well now what because I 740 01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:07,960 know more than half of our deputies carry that particular 741 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:14,640 model so I talked to a risk management who consulted with 742 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:21,960 mcit and mcit being risk averse says well The Prudent action is to not 743 01:07:17,599 --> 01:07:28,480 allow fire okay fair enough now would so I went to the um 744 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:32,599 employee relations Mr Hemy and uh we contacted the union because they're 745 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:37,559 employee owned we went and said look we we have 746 01:07:35,079 --> 01:07:42,760 this problem we're not interested in any uh unintentional negligent discharges of 747 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:50,079 these Firearms more than half of you carry them uh and we made an offer to 748 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:54,720 either provide uh early uniform allowance because uniform allowance is 749 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:59,319 paid in July we said we would pay in January and you 750 01:07:57,319 --> 01:08:06,559 could use that money to purchase a new firearm the idea is to get these out of 751 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:12,039 our inventory and sooner than later or alternatively we offered to provide an 752 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:16,040 interest free loan where you will give you the money go buy the firearm will 753 01:08:14,079 --> 01:08:21,640 withhold whatever the amount is out of your check to get it paid off in 18 754 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:25,839 months or whatever you agree to uh and the 755 01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:25,839 union um 756 01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:36,080 declined I guess is how to say you know there's uh in in their estimation there 757 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:40,719 is no problem so big that it cannot be resolved with giving their members more 758 01:08:38,199 --> 01:08:47,640 money and I didn't want to just hand over money to the Union to the 759 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:49,960 membership uh without getting even a a if you're going to own it we're going to 760 01:08:48,679 --> 01:08:59,120 do it that was going to be a quick easy S no added cost to the taxpayers 761 01:08:55,040 --> 01:09:04,759 and I I looked when they declined that that prompted me to before I made that 762 01:09:01,759 --> 01:09:10,960 decision really look into it and decide and and figure out where we were 763 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:17,000 at so what I learned is uh and you probably won't hear many 764 01:09:13,799 --> 01:09:21,480 elected officials uh make this admission but the policy decision that I made to 765 01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:26,120 regulate ammunition and not makes in models of 766 01:09:22,719 --> 01:09:30,480 firearms got away from me was probably not the best decision I ever made and we 767 01:09:28,279 --> 01:09:35,000 looked at the numbers of firearms and what they're carrying and the calibers 768 01:09:32,199 --> 01:09:41,920 and what that means for training uh because now if if uh if I'm the Firearms 769 01:09:39,480 --> 01:09:46,679 instructor and and commissioner Workman is having problems shooting or has a 770 01:09:44,679 --> 01:09:52,120 problem with the firearm now I kind of have to learn how his firearm functions 771 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:57,000 to help him get through this training glitch or or whatever and so there's 772 01:09:54,800 --> 01:10:04,120 just some inefficiencies in there that that I failed to anticipate but 773 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:11,440 um still had the same issue with new employees uh walking at the startup cost 774 01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:18,159 um because whether it's a, firearm or $500 firearm still come work for us go 775 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:21,840 spend your own money first um also I have some employees who are proficient 776 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:27,159 Shooters but they're swapping they're in and out carrying this gun that gun 777 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:34,679 uh periodically throughout the year and I find that to be a problem 778 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:40,040 so having that's what brings us here today recognizing that we have an 779 01:10:37,199 --> 01:10:46,520 obligation to provide our deputies a safe reliable firearm program looking to 780 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:52,040 move to agency issued Firearms um I think what it does is it 781 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:57,960 standardizes the uniform equipment uh issue sort of thing it standardizes the 782 01:10:55,239 --> 01:11:05,719 ammo purchase we currently buy three different types of ammunition calibers 783 01:11:01,480 --> 01:11:12,280 that is 94045 or the three that we carry we'll limit that to just one which 784 01:11:08,480 --> 01:11:15,840 creates some efficiencies and savings because we're buy we always buy in bulk 785 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:21,800 but when you buy more of one in the bigger bulk it's gets a little bit 786 01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:29,520 cheaper um standardizes the maintenance I you know I don't have uh a number that 787 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:33,840 I can put on it but when if we all have the same 788 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:39,719 firearm I can have one or two employees who are armors who are able to 789 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:44,440 disassemble repair replace the the typical parts that break I can do all 790 01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:50,440 that really easily inh housee when I have eight 10 12 different manufacturers 791 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:54,159 having people who are trained and certified for all of those different 792 01:11:52,159 --> 01:12:01,520 manufacturers gets to be a little bit of a glitch and um I don't really have an 793 01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:08,360 appetite to send them all out for third party repairs uh Min uh minimize the 794 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:14,080 startup cost for new employees I think that's a pretty big deal uh retention 795 01:12:10,679 --> 01:12:19,920 for evident evidentiary purposes uh this sounds silly and hopefully we don't ever 796 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:26,520 have to do this but when an officer involved is involved in a shooting and 797 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:32,280 this person dies it's ruled a homicide as a matter of 798 01:12:28,159 --> 01:12:36,560 routine we retain all evidence of homicides 799 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:42,600 forever we don't dispose of it what I learned in a in a different 800 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:49,159 officer involved shooting was we don't have the lawful authority to do that 801 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:55,719 with other people's property so the if the employee 802 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:59,400 says I want my firearm back we have to give that to them I mean we could 803 01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:03,440 litigate it but we're going to lose is I think is the direction the county if if 804 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:09,800 the last case is an indicator uh perhaps in a change in the 805 01:13:06,639 --> 01:13:16,320 law we're going to lose that and um I think it's important to keep to retain 806 01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:22,719 that evidence for 807 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:27,600 uh you know for trials for defending ourselves civil action but also you know 808 01:13:25,639 --> 01:13:33,159 save it forever in criminal cases because of the appeals processes and uh 809 01:13:30,679 --> 01:13:37,560 you know the any allegations wrong F Brit any of those sorts of things so 810 01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:47,880 um if we own the Firearms it's ours we can take and put it on a 811 01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:53,440 shelf and so anyways um it eliminates Arguments for increasing allowances uh 812 01:13:51,000 --> 01:14:00,679 in for uniform allowances to maintain equipment one of the things we do is as 813 01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:05,360 we ask employees to add components like this we there's a as technology improves 814 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:09,120 there's a sighting system so we call it a red dot sighting system basically it's 815 01:14:07,440 --> 01:14:15,159 a head up heads up display you look through a loop and it there's a Red Dot 816 01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:19,480 in that Loop and once it's cited in wherever that red dot is is where the 817 01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:24,600 bullet is going to go um pretty accurate it's really fast it improves the 818 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:30,000 shooting accuracy speed in proficiency so we asked our employees to put that on 819 01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:35,920 well we're 500 bucks 300 bucks whatever they are and of course the employees 820 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:41,280 walk at having to add that even though they have a generous uniform allowance 821 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:48,560 they even done as argum to increase that so um and it's a fair argument because 822 01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:48,560 it is an expensive thing so 823 01:14:49,199 --> 01:14:59,080 anyways all of that combined um I just think that it it agency you know has to 824 01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:05,040 weigh these decisions personal Firearms agency owned I think the there's no 825 01:15:01,679 --> 01:15:12,280 right answer um but it's a judgment call and in my judgment I think we are best 826 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:18,320 served through agency Firearms now that was a long way to get to I'm asking for 827 01:15:15,199 --> 01:15:24,400 in the board in the the RBA $992,000 to uh from and it's there's a 828 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:29,719 typo in here it's actually 20 22 year end savings we don't know what 2023 is 829 01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:34,520 yet because we're only the second day into this year it hasn't been 830 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:39,639 calculated um but I'm asking for the board to approve the funding from that 831 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:46,000 piece which gives me some budgetary flexibility in 832 01:15:41,639 --> 01:15:51,080 2024 and with that stand for S questions for the sheriff Mr CH a couple question 833 01:15:49,239 --> 01:15:53,760 CH I learned a lot I guess I'm guessing the audience did as well I didn't I 834 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:57,639 didn't know a lot of that so thanks for the history thanks also as a leader that 835 01:15:55,440 --> 01:16:01,760 says I might not got it right and now you're getting it right that's rare 836 01:16:00,239 --> 01:16:07,239 three questions one what happens the old guns um two um the replacement cost is 837 01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:11,280 that something we should budget and plan for and three if this is typically a 838 01:16:09,679 --> 01:16:15,280 bucket that comes out of the uniform are we able to pull back dollars associated 839 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:19,920 with that because we'll now be Furnishing the firearm uh three 840 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:26,080 different questions no excellent question so uh the Firearms currently in 841 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:30,800 play are employee owned and so they would continue to own them and and they 842 01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:37,000 can do whatever they choose with with those Firearms 843 01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:42,040 um this there was one about the pulling back I I think that you know that's a 844 01:16:39,480 --> 01:16:46,520 the the uniform allowance is a collective bargaining issue um and I 845 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:51,679 think that would be something we would have to have that that the negotiating T 846 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:55,440 how that's going to shake out uh you know I don't I don't believe 847 01:16:53,800 --> 01:17:01,560 then the plan for replacement costs and then the the plan for replacement costs 848 01:16:58,440 --> 01:17:08,280 um you know yes we will have to have uh some of that built in I would anticipate 849 01:17:04,639 --> 01:17:14,360 we would work with uh Mr Hemy and Mr frisman to build a plan not unlike we do 850 01:17:11,639 --> 01:17:19,760 for radios where we look at what the what we expect the life expectancy to be 851 01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:23,639 and then we just uh squirrel away a little bit 852 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:27,480 annually to to build that and roll it year over-ear until we are on the 853 01:17:25,719 --> 01:17:30,920 replacement schedule what is a typical replacement and my understanding is is a 854 01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:35,280 lot of firearms hold their value at least maybe even increase is there is 855 01:17:33,480 --> 01:17:40,639 there a notion that this is a break even so the newer models actually cost less 856 01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:45,280 than their yeah you know they're um they're not uh the price of them is not 857 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:50,239 a budget Buster sorts of things they do hold their value it's all it's a common 858 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:57,760 practice to upon retirement sell the firearm to the employee who will take it 859 01:17:53,800 --> 01:18:02,480 with them um like badges are another one that's kind of a common 860 01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:09,159 practice um I don't know what the retention or what the the longevity is I 861 01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:15,679 mean they last a long time uh I mean you know my my dad has all of my 862 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:20,800 granddad's firearms and it's you know from years and years ago uh I think 863 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:27,040 what's more likely to happen in this circumstance is um 864 01:18:24,159 --> 01:18:32,239 technology um is going to drive that and so they will likely be cycled out more 865 01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,239 so because of 866 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:39,920 changes because of the AG is wearing Care thank you other questions for the 867 01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:46,239 sherff Mr chair thank you Sheriff definitely very 868 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:50,520 thorough and the information is there um are the deputies on board with this 869 01:18:48,440 --> 01:18:54,120 change you know that's that's hit or miss and that's a great question Mr Hemy 870 01:18:52,360 --> 01:19:01,159 and I have talked about that quite a bit because we've worked very hard to uh 871 01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:07,560 keep the the work group happy and um you know we're going to have some employees 872 01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:13,639 who are uh just married to that whatever they 873 01:19:11,679 --> 01:19:20,040 have it's they bought it because they like it probably and um but I also have 874 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:26,320 some employees who have just flat out said if I wasn't a cop I wouldn't own a 875 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:35,360 hand income and the only and so they would be happy to receive it um you know 876 01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:42,320 that the policy has not been finalized yet I think that uh as I look I there's 877 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:47,560 a while there is agency issued and employee issued there's always the the 878 01:19:44,679 --> 01:19:53,159 hybrid model there are some agencies who here's the here's the firearm that we 879 01:19:49,360 --> 01:20:01,120 issue if you want your own under policy here are the approved models 880 01:19:58,440 --> 01:20:06,199 and it would be but then through policy it's up to you to own it maintain it we 881 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:10,040 assume no responsibility for fixing it we a spring breaks or the extractor 882 01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:16,600 breaks or any of those sorts of things that's on you and uh you know I haven't 883 01:20:12,719 --> 01:20:23,080 ruled that out yet as a as a policy decision so we're going to approve the 884 01:20:19,719 --> 01:20:27,679 agency issued handguns and and the polic is going to come after well you're 885 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:32,199 approving the money uh you you might recall sir that the the setting 886 01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:37,679 Sheriff's Office policy is the sheriff's responsibility your responsibility 887 01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:46,120 relates to the budgeting and so I I'm looking and what this does is it gives 888 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:53,320 me the flexibility I'm going to do this um in 2024 what I would like to be able 889 01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:57,520 to do is use money from 2022 year and to do 890 01:20:54,199 --> 01:21:05,199 that thank you any other questions commissioner Lynch um great 891 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:09,120 great thorough um my my first I think he answered it already but normally when 892 01:21:07,480 --> 01:21:15,920 someone leaves employment you usually sell it to the individual or or you just 893 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:20,159 turned it in what what is it uh agencies we haven't decided what we're going to 894 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:25,760 do yet because we don't do this um some agencies upon retirement will allow the 895 01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:32,120 person to purchase the firearm and take it with him a three-year employee um 896 01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:37,040 would be expected to return the firearm okay and then to Gail's question about a 897 01:21:34,719 --> 01:21:41,120 revolver or semi-automatic and the sheriff was very accurate it's a 898 01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:45,480 cylinder that spins around but there was a shootout in 899 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:50,880 Florida an FBI shootout and that's why the revolver is very difficult to reload 900 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:56,280 whereas a semi-automatic uh you slap a new magazine into it it could SP quick 901 01:21:53,040 --> 01:22:02,400 that's why they switched over to that um I think JP had a great question but 902 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:05,440 um my only question is do you really want to go there because you're going to 903 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:12,000 have some push back because when you get a a cops coming all different sizes 904 01:22:09,199 --> 01:22:17,159 people shoot 9 millimeters and 45 and just get used to what you have um you're 905 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:22,080 not going to be have a happy person who's a Avid 45 shooter who's going to 906 01:22:19,679 --> 01:22:27,199 have to shoot a 9 millimeter now but it's it's a your decision sir I would uh 907 01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:31,199 I can see the advantages of having everything all the 908 01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:36,960 same yeah I and I appreciate that and those arguments are not lost on me what 909 01:22:34,159 --> 01:22:41,120 uh what I have found is that those who are average 45 Shooters and are good at 910 01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:49,679 it they're pretty good with 9 millimeters and 40s and 357 and they 911 01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:56,120 figure it out right and uh um I look at you know agency issued firearms are the 912 01:22:53,159 --> 01:23:01,120 norm um with you know let's use the military they got people all different 913 01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:07,719 shapes and sizes and uh and they pull it off and but you know and that is uh part 914 01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:14,360 of the reason I'm looking at the Hybrid model of policy is because there there 915 01:23:11,199 --> 01:23:18,239 will be people who have uh you know perhaps smaller than you know the 916 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:23,000 Firearms are generally manufactured for averages right and you might have people 917 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:27,480 smaller than average hands it just doesn't fit for them so I have 918 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:33,159 to have a workable program for them but I'm trying to get back get it contained 919 01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:41,360 because as I pointed out earlier it it just it just got away from 920 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:45,560 me when Sheriff uh couple anybody else have a question if not I'll wrap it up 921 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:53,080 here um when is this policy going to take effect if we approve this to you 922 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:58,320 yeah well um would you get these well it's a you know Supply Chain's an issue 923 01:23:55,040 --> 01:24:04,080 right so we'll have to see to get all of the components um we would have to buy 924 01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:11,320 the the firearms and and all the components that go along with it um and 925 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:16,360 then we have to have a training program for that so that we can get people 926 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:22,840 trained up to this firearm um you know it'll it'll take the 927 01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:26,960 better part of this year to do that okay management and is this just the 928 01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:32,800 beginning you're talking fire handguns now uh how about rifles and whatever are 929 01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:38,920 their agency issued rifles and stuff shotguns excellent question and uh we do 930 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:46,639 have um the fire the handgun is the 931 01:24:43,480 --> 01:24:53,400 only defensive weapon that we do not provide the employee we provide them 932 01:24:49,760 --> 01:25:02,639 with their chemicals their batons the taser the the rifle uh we just 933 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:09,159 we we provide every other weapon and the holsters and all that stuff that goes 934 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:11,600 along with it um just not the handgun and 935 01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:19,199 uh you know I can't speak to to how or why that is I I do want to make one 936 01:25:16,719 --> 01:25:23,800 point of clarification though to make sure that people understand that the 937 01:25:21,239 --> 01:25:30,840 policy to open up the the Firearms was uh is not what is totally 938 01:25:28,159 --> 01:25:37,000 driving this and was not at an added cost to any it's just when I looked at 939 01:25:34,480 --> 01:25:44,280 this whole thing in the totality you just learned some things 940 01:25:41,239 --> 01:25:48,480 that how it how the policy impacts hiring how the the numbers got a little 941 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:52,639 bit out of control I'm trying to shrink that back down a little bit and so 942 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:57,600 there's it's the totality of the circumstances not just one issue and 943 01:25:55,920 --> 01:26:04,199 this is all public knowledge but I don't think you actually mentioned what 944 01:26:00,639 --> 01:26:08,320 revolver are we looking at um is this something that you want the public to 945 01:26:05,480 --> 01:26:15,679 know what our Deputy of the carrying around or not sure the intention is to 946 01:26:10,719 --> 01:26:20,239 go with with a a Glock 459 millimeter I know that sounds weird because 45 also 947 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:27,560 happens to be a caliber but it's the Glock model 45 in 948 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:34,520 9mm and uh little bit of trivia for you Glock when they make a new 949 01:26:31,119 --> 01:26:40,320 firearm apply calls the model sequentially with their patent numbers 950 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:44,800 so this is the 45th Glock patent if anybody 951 01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:51,840 cares and just a little have for Trivial Pursuit somay is Glock an American uh 952 01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:57,080 product it's an Austrian made firearm that is is uh very common in law 953 01:26:54,040 --> 01:27:01,960 enforcement and military service globally commission Workman well Mr 954 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:08,600 chairman I think more importantly what is the firearm that didn't want to 955 01:27:05,480 --> 01:27:16,080 behave and kind of caused this I think important to the public is that readily 956 01:27:11,480 --> 01:27:21,679 available uh it is it it is a uh 6our P320 is the the firearm and the model 957 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:28,600 and I want to be very clear on this point that it is it's an allegation it's 958 01:27:25,199 --> 01:27:35,880 in litigation sigar is saying there is no problem with the firearm the 100 uh 959 01:27:32,679 --> 01:27:40,840 plaintiffs are asserting that there is I don't know there's a question mark next 960 01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:45,960 to it there is not a question mark adjacent to any of the designs 961 01:27:43,480 --> 01:27:51,800 of the other models that are currently in use in 962 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:57,360 in I think we all learned more way more about revolvers and Firearms than I ever 963 01:27:54,679 --> 01:28:04,520 anticipated but I appreciate you all reminding me that I am for 964 01:28:00,199 --> 01:28:08,520 BS with that we're looking for a motion second motion by commissioner Workman 965 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:13,719 second by commissioner rudderman to approve the fundings for the purchase of 966 01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:17,960 agency issued handguns and accessories any more commissioner work well Mr 967 01:28:15,440 --> 01:28:23,920 chairman I need motion I'm I'm all for this uh but I will not 968 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:31,600 uh take any phone calls from deputies who don't want to drive a Dodge 969 01:28:26,199 --> 01:28:37,040 rate what nobody so noted sheriff and County 970 01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:44,199 attorney any more discussion all in favor of the motion say I I any opposed 971 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:49,800 seeing none the motion passes unanimous thank you oh sure before you 972 01:28:46,679 --> 01:28:55,159 go um it was in the paper are we going to have to spend more money changing our 973 01:28:52,159 --> 01:29:01,840 logos on your patches because the state feel and State uh flag might change well 974 01:29:00,159 --> 01:29:06,840 you know it's it's funny to mention we've been talking about that internally 975 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:13,480 about what this impact is to us because uh our badges support the state seal our 976 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:19,280 shoulder patches do we have things like that in throughout our office uh the uh 977 01:29:17,239 --> 01:29:24,880 the lettering on our squad cars has the badge with the state SE and 978 01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:32,639 so it we will absolutely if they make the change um prompt us 979 01:29:29,480 --> 01:29:38,560 to look at all of those sorts of things unintensive consequences always B we'll 980 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:43,920 sort that out once the legislature gets done with it thank you Sheriff thank you 981 01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:49,600 with that it brings us to 9.2 uh creating a Communications 982 01:29:46,719 --> 01:29:54,719 Department Mr Nick kavi our assistant County Administrator Nick uh good 983 01:29:52,679 --> 01:29:57,719 morning Mr chair and Commissioners 984 01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:13,440 your see Justin can you pull it up on the 985 01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:27,679 screen we got some time Tom you can run down 986 01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:31,639 Dodge Rams some more the sheriff just bought one 987 01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:47,440 after this brings up another fact that we're gonna be changing some of our Audi 988 01:30:43,719 --> 01:30:54,440 visual correct Tech Yeah March can't come soon enough 989 01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:56,520 right H should we take a five minute I think 990 01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:03,400 he all right well thank you again Mr chair and Commissioners I'm here today 991 01:31:01,639 --> 01:31:08,360 to talk about the creation of a Communications Department within our 992 01:31:06,119 --> 01:31:13,360 Public Services Division this has been a little while in the coming uh I've been 993 01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:18,320 working on many different plans on how to fill a vacancy and looking forward on 994 01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:24,800 how we can best serve uh Carver County residents really the goals of this uh 995 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:28,800 change are three uh one is to enhance overall County 996 01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:32,320 communications one uh the second is to Foster consistency and communication 997 01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:36,920 across our organization then the third is to 998 01:31:34,480 --> 01:31:39,600 leverage a higher level of expertise in communication 999 01:31:39,719 --> 01:31:47,320 strategy with that uh the main item I'm proposing today is to elevate the 1000 01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:52,480 currently vacing Communications manager position that was held by Eric 1001 01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:57,840 previously to the chief Communications officer to manage this new Department 1002 01:31:55,000 --> 01:32:02,679 within public services division other Staffing would include two new positions 1003 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:08,280 that were included in the and approved in the 2024 budget that includes the 1004 01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:12,760 part-time communication specialist and then a full-time communication 1005 01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:18,480 specialist within the public uh works department two existing employees would 1006 01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:23,679 also report to this department that would be the Public Works communication 1007 01:32:20,679 --> 01:32:27,040 manager that's Sarah position currently and then the planning and water 1008 01:32:25,440 --> 01:32:31,159 management senior Outreach and engagement specialist That's mine's 1009 01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:37,800 position for reference today's request does not 1010 01:32:34,639 --> 01:32:41,159 increase the total FTE allocation what I'm looking to do is to elevate one of 1011 01:32:39,679 --> 01:32:46,000 the existing positions all the other ones are currently approved in the 1012 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:52,400 budget it actually slightly decreases because I'm looking to our stock funding 1013 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:56,880 for this so overall wanted it would slightly decrease that t allocation but 1014 01:32:55,119 --> 01:33:01,320 again within this area of more moving things around an elevating 1015 01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:06,080 position so with that elevating of the position from the communications manager 1016 01:33:03,119 --> 01:33:12,199 to a chief Communications officer that has a fiscal impact of an increase of 1017 01:33:10,159 --> 01:33:17,560 $3,841 79 with that I am providing funding 1018 01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:22,560 options within the Public Services Division this includes $122,000 for my 1019 01:33:20,639 --> 01:33:26,960 Professional Services line the reason for that that I'm 1020 01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:30,719 proposing that is we have not utilized those funds in several years 1021 01:33:29,119 --> 01:33:35,600 historically some of those funds have been used for Architects and space 1022 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:40,840 planning but since we did a massive space plan my thinking is we won't need 1023 01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:44,760 those funds going forward then also some of those funds include cable casting and 1024 01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:49,520 with our am upgrade we're going to be bringing that cable casting service in 1025 01:33:47,239 --> 01:33:52,520 house once we have that upgrade made so there'll be some cost savings there as 1026 01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:57,880 well in addition I've proposing 1027 01:33:54,280 --> 01:34:04,000 $715 to come from the facility stock stock is seasonal temporary 1028 01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:11,080 onf if you remember earlier last year we did a reor within facilities this $ 1029 01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:16,040 7,155 was the savings for that we put that in stock to hold that for future we 1030 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:20,119 were thinking maybe getting a seasonal at this time I don't think we'll utilize 1031 01:34:17,639 --> 01:34:24,840 those funds so I propose that we utilize them for this instead 1032 01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:27,600 then the last one is a extension stock with 1033 01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:34,600 $468 79 if you remember several years ago we 1034 01:34:30,440 --> 01:34:40,320 had two admin support staff within uh extension we reduced that down to one as 1035 01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:45,320 part of that budget move we move some funds to the stock budget that way if 1036 01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:51,159 that person's off on vacation or needs extra help we can utilize uh those funds 1037 01:34:48,440 --> 01:34:55,639 for that looking at historic Trends we haven't been using all those funds so my 1038 01:34:53,440 --> 01:35:01,360 propos propos us to take some of those funds and to utilize it to help P this 1039 01:34:58,440 --> 01:35:06,719 position for this change so with that Mr chair my uh 1040 01:35:04,119 --> 01:35:11,679 recommendation is a motion to create a Communications Department of Public 1041 01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:17,320 Services eliminate the vacant 1.0 FTE Communications manager create a new 1.0 1042 01:35:14,639 --> 01:35:20,400 FTE Chief Communications officer and approve the associated budget amendment 1043 01:35:19,159 --> 01:35:27,639 request form any questions for Mr kabi Mr chair 1044 01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:30,600 m i I think this is the right move I think it's an indication of the growth 1045 01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:35,040 of our County and and stepping into the next area I know that you spent a lot of 1046 01:35:32,679 --> 01:35:37,960 time in diligence looking at this one of those being you know is it a competitive 1047 01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:41,719 wage should track the right candidate so I appreciate all the effort on it I know 1048 01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:44,560 that um particularly in lyndon's group there's a lot of money spent to let the 1049 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:47,600 public know tell our story right what are we doing how are we doing it I know 1050 01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:52,880 chasa just went through a significant amount of that and it's hard to measure 1051 01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:55,679 that savings you know like when when the community is engaged and they're not you 1052 01:35:54,360 --> 01:36:00,440 know pounding your front desk with a bunch of calls because they're proactive 1053 01:35:57,719 --> 01:36:05,320 is there a way that um that we can make this partially unfunded by Levy by way 1054 01:36:03,440 --> 01:36:09,520 of billing it back to a road project or billing it back to a different 1055 01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:14,239 project you know I defer to L I can't remember it's part of the exting sales 1056 01:36:12,679 --> 01:36:20,800 is coming from the sales ta okay s's this but like the can we do 1057 01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:24,440 a part just make sure we get this on uh yeah yeah could you please come up 1058 01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:29,639 explain how the public work some of that is maybe would you practi pay for the 1059 01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:33,679 chief Communications officer I guess is the question oh right yeah I know that 1060 01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:38,800 Mr chair Commissioners that the new position funded in 24 1061 01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:43,920 specialist that one is funded with Road and Bridge CIP funds okay as well as 1062 01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:46,880 cers as you know okay yeah so like net I think the taxpayers are getting a better 1063 01:36:45,440 --> 01:36:50,440 at a benefit and they're not paying the full cost of it I mean directly through 1064 01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:53,040 Levy guess that's the point thank you lynon um the other things I kind of 1065 01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:57,199 wanted to point out when we looked at goals we had talked about it in work 1066 01:36:55,080 --> 01:37:01,679 session um uh in June I think this role is partially to 1067 01:36:59,639 --> 01:37:06,600 help promote a robust Talent pipeline too we Face a lot of headwinds and tell 1068 01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:13,040 our story as a community two years ago um we hosted the first um rural or out 1069 01:37:10,639 --> 01:37:17,119 outstate um cver County Commerce Corridor to where through greater MSP in 1070 01:37:15,639 --> 01:37:21,280 Greater MSP the number one recommendation they said was is tell 1071 01:37:18,840 --> 01:37:25,040 your story because part of our story is we don't tell our story much because 1072 01:37:22,679 --> 01:37:29,920 we're the ASU kind of County folks but I also think that through um our strategy 1073 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:33,719 documents um we said well it look like for this first thing for this person to 1074 01:37:31,719 --> 01:37:36,679 do is to take a look at telling our story particularly to an audience of 1075 01:37:35,440 --> 01:37:39,679 Juniors that may be considering where they're going to go to work in the 1076 01:37:37,639 --> 01:37:44,080 future and telling the story Cross functionally of collectively what do we 1077 01:37:41,239 --> 01:37:48,800 do as a county um so so promoting a robust Talent pipeline um I I think is 1078 01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:51,639 part of the goals as well so fully support this I think it's a step in the 1079 01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:55,000 right direction other counties and cities are doing the same and they're 1080 01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:58,920 seeing huge benefit from it so thanks for the work on it any other questions 1081 01:37:57,320 --> 01:38:06,199 for Nick if not is there a motion move 1082 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:09,639 approval as requested uh to fund um the chief
