1
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:12,800
It's joining the flesh leeches.
>> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:18,880
United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation

00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:21,880
under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,960
» Good morning, everyone.

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:36,440
We'll start in on the agenda and it's to
approve the minutes of Monday, June

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,440
15th, 2026.

7
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:45,320
Second.
The motion is moved, Barker seconded.

8
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,000
All in favor, any discussion? Second.
All in favor, say aye.

9
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,520
» Aye.
>> Any opposed? Passes 5-0.

10
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:59,440
» I'll give that a second and reconsider
that after.

11
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:05,840
» We have some miscellaneous motions. Uh
Looks like the first one we have to

12
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:09,200
essentially change uh
resolution number

13
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,400
» Yeah.
>> from from last week.

14
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,640
» Yeah.
>> Looks like it should have been

15
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,640
resolution 2026-979

16
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:30,120
instead of 978. So,
I will move to rescind paragraph seven

17
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:34,880
in the June 15, 2026 minutes.
And the paragraph reads,

64
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:03,160
ready for our first agenda item, Tourism
and Visitors Board.

65
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,960
2027 budget request.
>> All right. Good morning.

66
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,560
» Good morning.
>> Jenny.

67
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,880
» So, uh just to give you guys a little
bit of uh updates what we've been doing

68
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,560
with the uh Coffee County Tourism and
Visitors Board.

69
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,840
Um
our board since I came on last year has

70
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:27,520
been uh fairly active. We've been
meeting just about quarterly um as per

71
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:29,640
their request um to discuss
uh

72
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,720
you know, uses for the transient guest
tax fund and other

73
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,360
um things where the Tourism Board might
be uh helpful with our county.

74
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,520
Um
I'll just kind of give you an update on

75
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:47,000
the transient guest tax fund.
Uh

76
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:53,840
since January 1st, 2026, we've had a
income from state from the transient

77
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,840
guest tax fund for of $11,161.

78
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,320
Um
and this year the

79
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:05,720
uh tourism and visitors board has
approved um funds outgoing of about

80
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,720
$6,264.

81
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,120
That leaves us a total in that fund of
$52,567.

82
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:19,120
So, we have had a little bit of outgoing
this year. Um most of that has been um

83
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:23,320
the board has approved um
some funds for

84
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,160
um some events that they felt would be
bringing in people from outside of the

85
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:31,520
county. So, we do have a form now if
somebody wants to request some of those

86
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:35,400
funds, um they fill that out and then I
send that out to the board for approval

87
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:40,280
or denial or sometimes they have
questions from whoever's asking for the

88
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:43,320
funds. So, we go through that process.
Um

89
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,800
but I think it's I think it's been going
pretty well.

90
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,080
Um
We did meet

91
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,680
last
month. I'm trying to No, the

92
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,929
beginning of this month.
>> Just a couple weeks.

93
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,400
» Yes, okay. We met on June 3rd.
>> [laughter]

94
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:03,840
» My months are just going pretty fast. Um
to discuss

95
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:08,800
kind of recommendations for expenditures
for 2027.

96
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:14,560
Um pretty similar to what they suggested
for uh this last year. Um We've got a a

97
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,480
letter. I'm not sure if you
want me to read the letter. I think you

98
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:23,720
guys might have gotten copies of
the proposed letter.

99
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Um it's just one of these, but um
they submitted uh recommendations for

100
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:33,320
expenditures of the transient guest tax
revenues for the calendar year 2027.

101
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:38,480
These recommendations were discussed and
approved by the board during their

102
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:43,880
regular meeting held on June 3rd, 2026.
Um based on their assessments of

103
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:48,280
priorities, that tourism and visitors
board recommend. The train they

104
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:52,960
discussed tax revenues be allocated
towards the following key areas,

105
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:56,160
local and regional tourism and marketing
promotions.

106
00:07:54,440 --> 00:08:00,360
They believe investing in targeted
marketing campaigns across various

107
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:05,520
platforms to promote Coffee County as a
desirable destination including efforts

108
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:10,800
to erase awareness of attractions,
events, and unique characteristics among

109
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:14,840
potential visitors within Kansas and our
surrounding states.

110
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:18,600
They also want to see continued support
of community events

111
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:23,700
by providing support which could include
financial assistance, promotional

112
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:27,560
resources, or logistical aid to
[clears throat] community events that

113
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:32,320
are specifically designed to attract or
have a proven track record of attracting

114
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:36,080
significant visitor attendance from
outside of Coffee County.

115
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:40,880
And then also just kind of another
bucket of other activities with a direct

116
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:45,120
positive impact on tourism
could be funding projects or initiatives

117
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:49,839
that directly contribute to improving
the visitor experience and increasing

118
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:54,760
visitation to Coffee County.
This could include but not limited to

119
00:08:52,080 --> 00:09:00,080
supporting visitor information services,
enhancing tourism related signage or

120
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:04,360
infrastructure, providing funding
or community members to attend tourism

121
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:09,160
related training.
We did have one of our tourism board we

122
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,320
helped pay for her to go to the state
tourism conference this last year. So,

123
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,920
things like that if we can
help get people to some of those

124
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:21,120
trainings I think would be good. And
other efforts clearly aimed at fostering

125
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:25,040
tourism growth.
Um

126
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:28,760
So, that's kind of our
recommendation. I think last year you

127
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:33,760
guys just
voted to approve that recommendation.

128
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,560
There wasn't kind of a specific dollar
ask with that.

129
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:44,280
Didn't know if there was any questions
or anything with the tourism board.

130
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,561
» I have no questions.
>> Okay. [laughter]

131
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,840
» It's been doing a lot.
>> Yeah, I think

132
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,480
» It's moving forward doing a lot more
seems like more active than it ever has

133
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,360
been.
>> I would agree.

134
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,840
» That's good.
We've got a good group and I think it

135
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:08,760
does sometimes those just small amounts
to help pay for some advertising or for

136
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:13,280
an event or
um I think one of them we helped pay for

137
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:17,400
like the insurance cost like event
insurance or something like that. Um

138
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:21,040
seems to have a pretty good impact on
those events where we know people are

139
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,520
putting in a lot of hard work to
organize them, so.

140
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:29,280
Um
the other thing I had and um

141
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,680
it doesn't have to be approved today,
but I wanted to bring this to you guys.

142
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:37,320
Something else that's come up in several
of our meetings with our uh tourism and

143
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:43,480
visitors board, we've talked about the
transient guest tax rate for Coffee

144
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:49,240
County. Um currently the the transient
guest tax rate um we get to decide this

145
00:10:46,839 --> 00:10:53,520
a county can decide it or even cities
within a county can can decide what they

146
00:10:51,160 --> 00:11:01,640
want their rate to be. Um currently
Coffee County's is at 3% which uh has

147
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:05,160
been effective since April 1st, 1998 um
that's I believe when that was

148
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:09,240
last updated.
Um

149
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:13,600
in looking at comparisons, you can print
out kind of the transient guest tax

150
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:17,440
rates for the state. Um
looking at some of our surrounding

151
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:25,000
counties, I know Franklin County's
there's is at 6%, Osage County's at 6%,

152
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:29,080
uh Woodson County's at 6%. A lot of our
surrounding counties are either at five

153
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:33,240
or six. There's a few that are at two or
three which are where ours are at, but

154
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:37,840
some of the more active
were definitely around six.

155
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:41,920
Um and then also for like some cities
that are kind of in our area, Shinnston

156
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:45,120
sits at 6% and Cory is all the way up at
8%. I know they have a lot of hotels

157
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:50,240
there.
Um Garnett sits at 6%, Iola sits at 6%,

158
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,680
um
what the the tourism board is

159
00:11:51,960 --> 00:12:00,760
recommending that Coffee County increase
the transient guest tax from 3% to 5%.

160
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:04,880
Um
I know we're not taking in a a ton of

161
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:09,400
revenue from
um the transient guest tax. Like I said,

162
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,520
we're looking at
Oh, what did I expect?

163
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:17,880
Um
somewhere [clears throat] around four to

164
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:22,080
six thousand dollars a quarter. Um but
again, we have been turning around and

165
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:26,440
trying to use those funds to promote
people coming here that would have a

166
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:31,080
direct positive impact on our um motels
that we have, our Airbnb's. So, trying

167
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,360
to get more people to come here
um

168
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:40,200
to increase those stays. So, that was
their recommendation. I did um

169
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,480
send Angie a resolution draft.
Um

170
00:12:40,839 --> 00:12:47,040
if you guys want to take that into
consideration or think it over and maybe

171
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,560
we could discuss it again next week. Um
if that's something

172
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,920
you guys
would like to

173
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:59,200
discuss.
Um the other thing in the resolution I

174
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:04,839
did put, and this was after going back
through our previous resolutions for the

175
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,680
tourism and visitors board, um is a
suggested change to

176
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,520
the um
appointments.

177
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:18,040
So,
what I was looking at, our previous um

178
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:22,600
resolution that has required positions.
So, currently we've got um county

179
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:28,560
commissioner on the board, myself,
chamber of commerce director, and two uh

180
00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:33,960
just community members.
Technically, in the bylaws, it says the

181
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:38,600
required positions are a representative
of the Board of County Commissioners or

182
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,320
Coffee County Economic Development
Department, one position. A

183
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:46,640
representative of the Coffee County
Chamber of Commerce,

184
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:51,720
a representative of the hotel and motel
industry, which must be reside in Coffee

185
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:57,400
County, and then
um two optional at-large positions that

186
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,960
are community members.
Um

187
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:04,000
So, technically, according to our
bylaws,

188
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:09,040
we're not we don't have a direct
representative of the hotel or motel

189
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,640
industry, and we've got myself and a
commissioner on there.

190
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:17,800
My suggestion
to change the language of the bylaws

191
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:23,120
just a little bit would be um
Tourism and Visitors Board Composition.

192
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:27,440
Um still have no more than five voting
members.

193
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:31,200
We would have a representative of the
Board of County Commissioners,

194
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,440
a representative of the Chamber of
Commerce,

195
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,880
a representative of the hotel or motel
industry, and then two optional at-large

196
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:44,600
positions.
The change would be to add an ex-officio

197
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:48,960
non-voting member. So, Coffee County
Economic Development would serve as

198
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,640
ex-officio non-voting member of the
board, would serve as the liaison

199
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,120
between the board, the county, and the
community. Um she'll be responsible

200
00:14:54,740 --> 00:14:59,640
[clears throat] for facilitation of
meetings and administrative

201
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:04,200
coordination, which is what I do anyway.
I typically, you know, I take in the

202
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,240
funding requests, I organize the
meetings.

203
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:12,480
Um
But, I think this way we can still keep

204
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,560
the representation on the board.
Um

205
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,640
» So, you'd be changed from a voting to a
non-voting

206
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,720
» Yes.
>> position.

207
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:21,160
» So, basically,
I would feel comfortable with that since

208
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:25,240
I'm organizing everything anyway. A lot
of times I'm the person between

209
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,320
whoever's asking for funding and the
board.

210
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:33,480
Um
That would just be my suggestion.

211
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Um if we change that, I could still stay
on as admin, but

212
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:42,400
we wouldn't be losing representation
representation from the county, and we

213
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,800
could look at adding somebody from
you know, [clears throat] hotel, motel,

214
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,720
or Airbnb, which I think would be a good
fit.

215
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,760
» And right now you don't have that
position filled up for the for the

216
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,960
hotel.
>> There's nobody in that position. We have

217
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,960
five people.
Um

218
00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:01,440
But we have myself and a commissioner,
two community members, and chamber.

219
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,880
» How many are you looking to
just one or two?

220
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,760
» So, we would still keep five members on
the board, but we would need to add

221
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,920
someone from the hotel or motel
industry, which our bylaws say we're

222
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,320
supposed to have anyway, and just move
myself to ex officio.

223
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:20,640
» Okay. So,
would there be anybody that fit fit that

224
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,120
with looking at the the county?
>> I think we could find somebody.

225
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,839
Um
Sherry and I have already kind of had

226
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,880
that conversation. I haven't reached out
to them yet, cuz I wanted to see what

227
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:33,360
you guys have thought about
this word, but I think there's several

228
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,520
people who might be interested.
>> That'd be good to have somebody

229
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:41,240
represent their side of it too.
>> So, I figured since we're we're talking

230
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:45,160
about the resolution for the
guest tax rate, we could just throw that

231
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,560
in there
as well. So,

232
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,760
um
my recommendation would be to

233
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:55,920
have you guys uh Angie can get that in
your packets for next week. Um give you

234
00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:01,600
guys some time to think about that, and
then um we can discuss and

235
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,240
approve if you guys so choose.
Does that sound good?

236
00:17:03,121 --> 00:17:06,920
» [clears throat]
>> Casper, could you

237
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,160
uh between now and then could you reach
out to somebody to see if if

238
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,400
» Yeah.
If there's some interest?

239
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,280
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. I'd be happy to do that.

240
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:19,800
Cool.
Um that is all I have for tourism and

241
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,800
visitor board.

242
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,959
Thank you guys.
>> Sounds good.

243
00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:27,000
» Thank you. Thank you.
>> All right.

244
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,960
» Okay.
>> All right.

245
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:33,520
» It's not quite 9:20 or do you have
everybody here, Christy? You're

246
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,920
» Yes, this is Kelsey Knight today.
>> Okay, so we have conservation district

247
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,560
2027
budget request. [clears throat]

248
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,960
» And the budgets are in your notebooks.
>> Budgets are in the books.

249
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:47,040
» Yes, I apologize. I didn't put them in
here.

250
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:52,320
Um
For those who don't know me, I'm Christy

251
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Vote. I work for the Coffee County
Conservation District. Um and also with

252
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:03,840
us is Kelsey Porter. She is the district
conservationist for NRCS. That's um

253
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:09,520
in
uh

254
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:14,840
USDA service centers here in the county.
The conservation district is a public

255
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:19,480
entity. Um we get our funding from
the county commissioners as well as the

256
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:25,720
state of Kansas. Um but we are also a
partner um with the NRCS or Natural

257
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:30,760
Resource Conservation Service that's
housed in USDA. Um

258
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,720
Oh, sorry. I'm on page
>> Page 56.

259
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,760
» Yes, okay.
Well, there's two.

260
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:39,920
» For 10.
>> Yeah, there are there are two budgets.

261
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,920
» One's for general fund and one's for

262
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,640
the conservation district.
>> What are the entries we're looking at?

263
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,240
» Uh you're looking at
>> 34 and

264
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,960
56.
>> Yeah, 34.

265
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,960
» So 34.

266
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,360
Sorry.
>> Thank you. No, you're good.

267
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:02,560
And through our partnership, we provide
um technical or we excuse me, we provide

268
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:08,320
clerical assistance as well as
educational outreach opportunities and

269
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:13,920
then um NRCS's side, they offer us the
technical assistance to to our

270
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:17,480
cost-share programs. And um they work
with us in a whole host of other

271
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:23,120
different ways.
Um if you look back at our

272
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:28,200
office in the last 10 years, we had
seven employees in our office. And as

273
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:33,320
budget cuts have come along,
um we are currently in

274
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:37,720
down to just Kelsey and I in the office.
So, if there's farmers and producers

275
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:40,960
needing technical assistance,
um

276
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:46,040
it's us. Um
we do have assistance coming from

277
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:50,040
Greenwood and um
Wilson County, but we just learned that

278
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:55,960
the technician in Wilson County is
retiring in July. So, we are just down

279
00:19:53,320 --> 00:20:00,280
to one person that is able to to offer
that to us.

280
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:04,600
Um I'm coming The reason for such a
large increase, we typically stay at a

281
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:09,960
3% increase,
is because we are seeking assistance to

282
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:14,320
hire at least somebody part-time. Um we
feel this is important um

283
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,800
to get somebody trained
>> fill that position.

284
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:21,840
» to help fill that position that is um is
lacking. Um

285
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:28,080
we're hoping the hiring freeze is going
to lift. Um we can get um we've had a

286
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:33,760
candidate here in Coffee County County
that would be ready to step in um and

287
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:36,400
apply for that federal position, but we
just need a little help just trying to

288
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:40,400
get us
that direction.

289
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:44,720
Um just to kind of give you some dollars
um on the federal side, we're

290
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:52,760
technically um looking at like 30
projects rolling in for about 338,000.

291
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:57,840
That's just this year. Um CRP annually
we're running at 628,000

292
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:01,640
is what they're getting this year. Um
and that's over 10,000 acres of CRP in

293
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:08,720
the county.
Um state cost share, we get over $30,000

294
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:11,280
from the state that we administer the
um

295
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:15,920
a little over 30 here in Coffee County
that the commissioners allocate for us

296
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:20,240
to to use for our land owners. We mirror
those cost share projects or

297
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:24,560
cost share programs the same as the
state, so there's no confusion or

298
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:28,120
overlap with our
um producers.

299
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,560
Um
but when you look at it, um

300
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:36,720
the numbers come down to
we have

301
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,960
Coffee County will impact CRP here is
fifth in the state of Georgia with the

302
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:44,280
number of contracts.
So, we have

303
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,880
over what?
We're looking at

304
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Sorry, I lost my my spot. Um
the

305
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:59,040
contract that we have, we have um
it takes the amount of hours to do one

306
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:03,720
contract that's a half an acre versus
somebody that has a contract of 200

307
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:11,200
acres. So, going out this year, we're
looking at 120 field reviews to do, plus

308
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:15,960
um another 60 contracts or more that
have been re-enrolled or um signed up

309
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:21,400
uh for
for a new uh contract. So, numbers are

310
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:25,720
there, manpower is not, and that's where
we're coming just to seek some

311
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:29,800
assistance. And we get the the approval
to have an opening in our county, we'll

312
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:34,640
reduce that, but we're just needing some
assistance to get us by in this pinch.

313
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:39,600
So, I just thought it was important to
come up. Usually, we just go with a 3%

314
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,960
um
increase in our budget, but we felt that

315
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:48,520
it was needed this year.
Do you guys have any questions, concerns

316
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,320
that we need to have
to address?

317
00:22:52,895 --> 00:22:57,520
» [clears throat]
>> You say needed this year, you're talking

318
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:03,080
about next budget year?
>> Yes, in Yeah, yeah, it for 2027. We have

319
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:08,920
enough that we're we're able to make it,
but we're definitely for 2027, that's

320
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:13,320
where we're needing some assistance. And
hopefully we're able to make that hump

321
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:18,320
um
in the the next year not to come back

322
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,800
and ask for that much more.
So.

323
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:28,480
I just felt it was important and I I
know you guys have a lot to do and um we

324
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:32,040
just wanted to come up and
share with you

325
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,880
our justifications for that.
>> Exactly.

326
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,640
» So, but thank you guys for your time.
And and again, I'm not trying to rush

327
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,880
you. If you have any questions or
concerns

328
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,000
um or anything you'd like to see us do
differently,

329
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:50,640
let us know. Um
always happy to have conversations.

330
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:55,520
» Sounds like your personnel has been cut
drastically over the last 20 years.

331
00:23:52,320 --> 00:24:00,080
» Yeah, it has. I mean, we look around to
the dark office. [laughter]

332
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:05,440
» Work hard to get all the federal money
>> that you can.

333
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:08,840
» That we we're trying. Um and you know,
and

334
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:12,040
as producers, you guys know that I mean
the restraints that are there. I mean

335
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:17,440
» Yeah.
>> they're getting tighter and tighter, but

336
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:21,000
we're trying to make do the best we can.
>> You guys are doing a good job.

337
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,360
» Well, we appreciate your time. And if
you have any questions, you know where

338
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:25,120
to find us.
>> Yes.

339
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,040
» All right. Thanks, guys.
>> Nice to see you too.

340
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,960
» How are you?

341
00:24:46,212 --> 00:24:48,232
» [snorts]

342
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:54,480
» What are you saying we're going to do?
>> We have to wait.

343
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,480
» Till 9:35.

344
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:02,280
Oh.
Well, it's uh

345
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:06,720
It's not 9:40, Jody, but uh
we have to wait till 9:35 before we do

346
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:10,920
our bid opening. That's 10 minutes, so
we could probably go ahead and take you,

347
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,160
interview you right now. That would
work, okay?

348
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,520
» Interview me now?
>> Yeah. Okay.

349
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,720
» Sure, I can talk to you.
>> How are you, Jody?

350
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:26,200
» I'm good. How are you, Steve?
>> Good. So, you're back to kind of have a

351
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:29,360
vacant hospital board position that uh
expires [clears throat]

352
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,560
the end of the year, right? So, this is
for

353
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,240
6 months.
Anyway.

354
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,000
» Anyway.
>> You want to You want to tell us a little

355
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:42,200
bit about yourself again?
>> I can. So, I'm Jody Thomas and I'm from

356
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,800
Waverly.
Um

357
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:50,520
I
have um over 40 years in health care

358
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:56,520
background. I worked
at Coffee County Hospital for 18 years

359
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:59,520
and then I left hospital. I worked for a
health care software company in Kansas

360
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:05,120
City that
I worked with over 50 different

361
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:08,600
hospitals throughout the United States
and the Cayman Islands. I got to go

362
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,480
there, too.
Um

363
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:15,800
and
I

364
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:21,880
Health care is hard, but I enjoy health
care. I always have and

365
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:26,360
I feel like I like to put what I have
into what I know and how I can help,

366
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:32,160
too.
Um so, in 2022,

367
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:36,760
I retired, so
it's a nice to just still have that

368
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:41,120
piece of health care and I had two kids
born at Coffee County. We've been here

369
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:46,880
for over 40 years, so I just feel like I
have a stake in the game, too and I'd

370
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:46,880
like to bring more to it.

371
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:56,400
» So, I guess you
semi-answered it, but why do you want to

372
00:26:54,560 --> 00:27:00,520
serve on the hospital board?
>> Well, I served on for 9 years.

373
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:05,040
Um
My term ended in December of this year,

374
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:09,720
and
I

375
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:14,960
It helps me be a part of health care to
still understand what the struggles and

376
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:18,920
trials and tributes are of health care.
Um

377
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:24,400
I feel like I I know a lot of the people
that still work at the hospital, and I

378
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,960
just I just feel like
with my knowledge and stuff, I I still

379
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:32,200
can bring
something to health care, to our

380
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:37,360
hospital.
>> Do you know what challenges the hospital

381
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:43,160
board faces?
>> I understand being a lot about like the

382
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:48,320
finances and stuff that's going on and
what's going on up in Topeka and, you

383
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:51,840
know, up at up
federally and stuff. Those Those are the

384
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:56,720
biggest challenges is to know where you
need to go to help dig. But, you know,

385
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,040
our leadership that we have at the
hospital today are

386
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:04,160
so good
to help keep the

387
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:06,760
board apprised on what's what's going on
in our world.

388
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:16,960
» Can you commit to regularly attending
meetings, reviewing materials

389
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:19,960
beforehand, and participating actively?
>> Absolutely.

390
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,080
» Um

391
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:34,840
So, with the board as a board member, um
you have to make decisions that uh not

392
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:39,320
everyone agrees with.
Um how do you approach difficult or

393
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:43,120
unpopular decisions?
>> Right. Yeah. You have to agree to

394
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:47,240
disagree as a board member. It's just
like any of you guys that, you know, You

395
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:53,360
to agree to disagree and and state your
case and um bring forward what your your

396
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:56,960
beliefs and and thoughts are.
And listen to what others have to

397
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:04,880
» How about transparency? What what does
that mean to you in in public service?

398
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:10,520
» I think
over the over the past few years the

399
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:15,880
hospital has and and the board have been
very transparent within the community

400
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:20,160
bringing information to you guys to open
up information. The only way you can

401
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:23,760
understand is if you understand all that
that transparency is

402
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,680
down and you can
understand more about what's going on.

403
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:33,360
» What about conflicts of interest? Do you
have any conflicts of interest serving

404
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,040
on the hospital board?
>> I do not.

405
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,440
» So, any other questions?
>> I believe so. You could cover everything

406
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,280
pretty well.
>> Do you think there are any other

407
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,800
questions we should ask you that we
haven't?

408
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,520
» I don't think so.
>> [laughter]

409
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:58,400
» I think you did pretty good job covering
everything.

410
00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:04,240
» One of the biggest complaints I hear
the community about the hospital

411
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:07,680
is the billing department.
I

412
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:11,480
that's always the first topic of
conversation when the hospital gets

413
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:16,480
brought up.
Um

414
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:20,720
people go to get their services,
take them 6-7 months to get their first

415
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:25,880
bill. First time they get their bill, it
says you're going to lawsuit.

416
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,880
What do you think the hospital can do to
fix the billing department?

417
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,920
» Well, I
>> It's been an issue for a long time ever

418
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:37,040
since it was outsourced.
>> Yeah, a long time.

419
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:41,320
Um this has been something that's been
for years and years. I know that.

420
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:45,240
I feel like
with

421
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:51,240
a lot of it kind of depends on your
software, your electronic health record,

422
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:55,960
how that all comes to play. So,
when you get a bill out the door, it all

423
00:30:53,960 --> 00:31:01,320
starts when you register
at the front desk. So, going through the

424
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:06,840
process, if you don't have the if you've
got fingered just one character in the

425
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:10,480
social security number or your
insurance number, that can throw

426
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:14,600
everything off and do like things
because you've got somebody back here at

427
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:18,080
the end that's got to scrub that stuff.
So,

428
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:22,000
part of that is is problematic and if
you don't have the most up-to-date

429
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:26,360
software
to help bring that those bills through,

430
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:30,040
that makes a difference, too. And I do
know that there was a problem

431
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,840
um
at one point with

432
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,440
um
I was getting a call after a month after

433
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:42,600
I gotten a
had my appointment and that was that was

434
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:48,240
way too soon. I wasn't delinquent. It's
just that was a delay in the process and

435
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:53,000
I think those things are getting better.
Um

436
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,000
» So, a lot of times these little

437
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:59,520
late billing
getting calls after the bill's paid

438
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,840
this has got to the point where it's run
some of the customer base from the

439
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:06,400
hospital off.
They've they've moved elsewhere. They've

440
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:09,840
gone to other doctors. How do you get
that customer base back to support the

441
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,600
hospital?
>> Well, I think we just do it through

442
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,800
transparency and helping people
understand. I know there's been meetings

443
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,400
in the past to help understand even
through the community how that kind of

444
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,480
the billing goes and stuff like that.
So, I think we just have to keep

445
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,560
keep
moving forward with that.

446
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,880
» I think you've got a wonderful facility
there. You've got some people up there

447
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:33,400
that are just
fine employees. You've got a good

448
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:37,720
facility.
It's It There's always that anchor of

449
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,880
that billing department at the that that
causes the rift with

450
00:32:39,127 --> 00:32:41,280
» [clears throat and cough]
>> Yeah.

451
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:45,040
» But I'm not
But I'm not so sure that that's not a

452
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,920
problem with all hospitals to a certain
extent, Mike.

453
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,040
» Well, I mean, I I know all of them.
>> No, no, no. I Talk to me about this one.

454
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:55,040
» No, no, no. I know that What I'm saying
is that

455
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:59,400
my experience in the last 2 or 3 years
was

456
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:04,360
I I'll just use St. Luke's for instance.
That billing may not come out for 5 or 6

457
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:07,200
months and then all of a sudden
And that's just from my my experience.

458
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,800
» Okay.
Uh

459
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:13,640
I think some of this is with a 25-bed
hospital there could be more of a

460
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:17,360
personal touch to it instead of just all
computer programs and random numbers and

461
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,320
things like that.
>> can call the person.

462
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:24,360
» They They might still I understand that
sitting in a meeting and I I still think

463
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,880
there needs to be a personal touch to
other than billing sent out the door

464
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,280
just from a computer.
>> Yeah.

465
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:34,360
» And you said with transposing a social
security number, those things need to be

466
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,440
looked at.
Just

467
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:40,200
» I mean, I I agree.
And there's just it just happens. You

468
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:44,680
know, it doesn't happen all the time.
But I agree with you, Mike, too. But

469
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:49,400
like you said, it does happen and it
works because I've seen it. I've I've

470
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,320
did the give me the patience for that.
>> But we're still not St. Luke's though as

471
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:58,520
small as we are.
>> No, no, but my point was was that was it

472
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:02,320
I I used St. Luke's just because that's
who I was

473
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:05,960
familiar with. I'm just saying that 6 or
7 months down the road I still still was

474
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:10,520
getting bills and that had to do with
Medicare. Uh that that was my point.

» That's true.
>> And even with myself with the county

478
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,440
insurance with I don't I haven't had a
real complaint about the county

479
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:24,000
insurance after all the bumps that that
went through going through a bankruptcy

480
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:28,200
and everything. It's working good for me
now. But

481
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:34,320
that has been part of the problem for me
is is when they decide trying to decide

482
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:38,120
who's responsible for how much.
You know, what whether they're going to

483
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:41,720
pay or whether they're not and
that's been some of my experience.

484
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:45,280
» The concerns about that stuff all need
to be brought forward. I mean, I can't

485
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:49,000
answer all of those questions. It has to
be a group, you know, within the board

486
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:53,280
meeting or whatever to discuss the
problems. And if community brings it

487
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:56,679
forward, anybody's welcome to come and
sit in to the meeting.

488
00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:01,600
Um, if they have a complaint, they can
call Ray at you know, call anybody at

489
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:04,200
the hospital to discuss it.
>> Well, they're not here to throw you

490
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:09,600
under the bus by any means. We're here
to discuss the hospital. But that's just

491
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:13,880
that that's out there. I mean, that's
in the community. That's the billing

492
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:16,800
department has made a lot of people
mad at this hospital and it's run them

493
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:21,120
off.
>> And for a lot of years, there wasn't a

494
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,960
very good billing system at the hospital
cuz people didn't think they had to

495
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:28,920
really, you know, make sure that their
payments were taken care of and stuff,

496
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:34,560
too. I think we have another problem
with reconditioning from last year, too.

497
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:38,920
» And and there's a fine line between
people thinking that that

498
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:44,640
I get the bill and then I get talked
about collections, but you've got to try

499
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:47,880
to move that through the system because
some of these people, obviously, some of

500
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:52,360
them will never pay.
You know, we know we've seen what the

501
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:55,240
numbers are on self pay, but regardless,
they need to be pursued to try to

502
00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:57,680
collect what money
>> We do that for we got to keep them going

503
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,040
for sure.
>> Oh, yeah, right, right. That's what I'm

504
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:05,320
saying. I mean,
it's a fine line between people thinking

505
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:08,560
they're they're being sought after too
hard and

506
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:12,480
a lot of those people are never going to
pay till they're pushed, you know.

507
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:15,120
» And and that's what I've heard is, you
know,

508
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:19,880
we give them
$4.2 million this year for a budget for

509
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:23,560
'27.
And and I get these people that come up

510
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:28,200
that do faithfully pay their bills and
they're mad because it's like, why am I

511
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:32,320
giving them tax money
to the hospital? It's needed, don't get

512
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:36,640
me wrong. We need the hospital, but
there's just a lot of people

513
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:41,840
in this society have a lot of questions
about the billing department. It's

514
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:46,160
» And those people need to be directed to
come and talk to Stacy and Ray to see

515
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,400
what the problem might be.
>> Yeah, yeah, and then that's my

516
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:54,120
suggestion. I don't run the billing
department. I don't know. You need to go

517
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,080
» Do we Do we have any other questions for
>> No, I've got

518
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:00,160
The north end of the hospital,
everything seems to be working really,

519
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:04,760
really good.
The south end in the actual hospital

520
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:10,560
department, morale seems to be
not the best in the world. How would you

521
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:15,000
suggest improving that?
>> Well, I think we have to understand what

522
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,760
or what the morale problem is. Is it
leadership? Is it I mean, they need to

523
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,440
address their managers. Like, you know,
walk through this

524
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,320

that doesn't work, then you go to the
next step, but

528
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:36,000
you know, that'll have to be handled
like

in appropriate in appropriate way. And
sometimes you can't please everybody.

00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:03,440

wasn't a part of the original bid, so I

I don't know that.

But
if it needs to go back out, that's

556
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:23,560
something that probably needs to be
a part of that bid.

00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:42,680
my impression from those
groups that sent me emails is they may

560
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:46,400
not be companies that actually would
bid, but they are

561

>> Okay.

631
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:06,080
» Maybe the Pony Express is better to help
them.

632
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,080
» So this is just giving them maybe a few
weeks to do that.

633
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:25,680
And so
So that was a

634
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:28,760
an advertisement for bids,
legal notice.

635
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:35,000
» We have to redo that.
>> I was going to say we want to just

636
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:40,200
change it.
>> Extend the bid on it.

637
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:47,240
» My my question is, I mean, do we want to
do the same bid procedure, the same

638
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:51,480
legal notice, or do we add to it the
what the questions were, you're letting

639
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:57,040
them know how to get get their hands on
whatever plans or

640
00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:01,520
» Well, I mean, couldn't they
couldn't they come in and look

641
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,000
and see what information they need?
>> That's what I'm That's what I'm

642
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:07,120
wondering. I mean that's not for what
you asked.

643
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:11,160
» Because well
What can they

644
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:14,800
What can they have done that before?
>> Or they can reverse engineer and get

645
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:17,120
that information on their own.
>> Yeah.

646
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:27,280
» Maybe they feel they've already made
their offer.

647
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:30,720
» I just hesitate to put the same
information out there if nobody

648
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:35,760
» It'll generate the same
>> outcome the same response. Yeah.

649
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:40,840
» If we can maybe
pass this until the end and Tom and I

650
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:44,600
can see if we can get
>> Okay.

651
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:49,800
» some some more details And
I'd like to be able to tell you what you

652
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:53,320
need to put in it but that's not my
not my area. What's the

653
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:57,160
» Yeah, it'd be nice to get moving along
with it too. They're struggling with

654
00:46:55,200 --> 00:47:02,520
dealing with this issue all the time
sounds like.

655
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:04,480
It'd be nice to get something done.
>> What day can you We can do it here for

656
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:09,480
once.
>> There's May 4th or May 11th and I don't

657
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,480
mind the

658
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,920
» Okay.
And we'll

659
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:23,920
» Cole will be able to look at
Cole will be able to help me with what

660
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:26,120
they're asking for what he brought.
>> Have you answered some of their

661
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,800
questions?
The phone?

662
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:32,080
» Yeah.
>> Right.

663
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,760
Oh, okay. I'm talking about the the the
bidders

664
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,960
» What should we put in the bid if we
could do something like that?

665
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:43,000
» You always have to ask.
>> Should we use his name as a contact?

666
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:48,840
People seeking information for the bid?
>> We should ask him maybe. I don't know.

667
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:52,680
» We can check with him. So
the

668
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:56,280
the goal was to have an even playing
field

669
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:59,600
across the board. So whatever happens
for one needs to be able to happen for

670
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,120
all so that
that's whatever information comes in

671
00:48:01,378 --> 00:48:05,920
[clears throat] that's why I couldn't
just send

672
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:09,760
somebody asked a specific question
regarding something that's missing and

673
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:15,120
then they get additional information and
the others don't then it's not an equal

674
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:20,280
playing field so that's that's the goal
here. That's true that they're all free

675
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,280
to ask these questions.

676
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:28,800
Okay we'll revisit at the end of the
meeting and

677
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,800
figure out how to proceed to go.

678
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:36,960
Okay
we can go ahead and take our

679
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,960
take a break right now. Um

680
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:43,360
Just
return at 10:00.

681
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:06,080
All right it's 10:00 we're back in
session.

682
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:10,360
10:00 appointment we have with Gerald
and Kraus about property damage.

683
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:14,960
You want to
come on up here?

684
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:21,800
Do you have my meter now since I've been
using that thing? Okay I'm Jerry Kraus.

685
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:27,560
I live at 2215 US Highway
75

686
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:32,680
and on April 14th of this year I was
sitting up actually reading and when the

687
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:39,360
Sheriff's Department called me and said
that somebody had went through my fence

688
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:42,560
along 75 instead of turning to go on to
75 they went through my fence and

689
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:48,040
destroyed it
and I had been up already outside with

690
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:53,360
my dogs cuz they were throwing a fit and
then I heard a guy go by really fast but

691
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,520
I thought it was on 75 not on my
frontage road. Well, it was on my

692
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:01,360
frontage road.
And uh eventually what happened was the

693
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:07,360
guy was fleeing from the
the sheriff's department.

694
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:12,280
And they went out there. He went through
the 75 fence, then he went through

695
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:16,080
taking two wires with him all the way to
the next

696
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:21,240
quarter mile fence, a quarter mile past
that. Strong wire all the way through

697
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:28,680
that. Went through that fence.
Did a U and came back and hit

698
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:32,800
these H's and gates that literally we
had installed 10 days before that from

699
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:37,800
Paul Blair.
That bill was 50-some hundred dollars

700
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:42,080
just to do that.
And um

701
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:46,720
I assumed and that and the sheriff's
department all kind of let me believe

702
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,880
that this man was the one that did this
all.

703
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:52,360
Well,
I could not figure it out. Paul Blair

704
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:58,000
came out. Him and I were looking at
this. We could not figure out how this

705
00:50:55,040 --> 00:51:03,240
guy that was in the north
northeast section, 40 acres,

706
00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:11,280
and how he came back and he hit the
gates on the north side of this T, which

707
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:16,800
had H's, gates, gates, gates, gates,
so we could get everybody rotated.

708
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:20,040
And um
and so he was stuck there, this

709
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:26,440
criminal.
And um

710
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:32,560
when we finally got subpoenaed on um
June 10th to go in, I'd been asking and

711
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:37,360
asking for paperwork. I wanted help on
trying to either get Enterprise, cuz the

712
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:40,520
car was a rental car. We were trying to
get somebody to pay for some of this

713
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,960
damage.
Nobody would help me. Nobody would give

714
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:48,680
me paperwork, nothing.
Finally, that day they gave me

715
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:52,800
paperwork. In the paperwork
I see there's eight people that

716
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:57,960
responded. I knew there was a ton of
cars out in my pasture that day. They

717
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:03,760
had to go from 22nd Road all the way
across my ground field which consisted

718
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:09,520
of 15 brand new babies that weren't even
2 weeks old and their mothers.

719
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:14,160
And then each one of these had 15
and their babies. And I take very good

720
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:18,840
care of my cows.
And I don't want them killed.

721
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:24,800
And I was very upset when I saw that
many people out in my field.

722
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:30,960
And then come find out
in their paperwork it shows not only was

723
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:35,040
the Mis- Mitsubishi involved in it,
there was a 27

724
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:40,000
2017,
I think it was, car that actually

725
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:42,520
belonged to
I'm sure

726
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:47,520
our
sheriff's department.

727
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:56,480
So now Paul Blair and I decided we
figured out how all the gates, all the

728
00:52:51,600 --> 00:53:01,480
the pole post, which was a 5-in post,
all got bent northeast because this was

729
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:05,240
guy was on the north side. How could he
hit it from the south

730
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:09,400
and go through that? There was no way.
But we saw all the tracks and everything

731
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:15,720
else. And now I know that the sheriff's
department is the one that actually did

732
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:21,160
all that damage. I want retribution for
the $3,400

733
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:25,680
that I'm out on that. I will go for the
the guy that's in jail or prison,

734
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:32,640
whatever he is at,
for the rest of it. But this I feel like

735
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:37,800
this is the third time in 2 years and 2
months that we have had massive damage

736
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:43,360
on our properties.
Maybe y'all don't know about March 30th

737
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:50,360
of 2025 when they ran through
the property along 75 and wiped out 450

738
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:54,600
ft of it and had me come up there at
3:00 in the morning, told me that

739
00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:58,440
hydroplaned, but the thing was I was
already up again that morning cuz I get

740
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:05,080
up about 2:30.
And it was light mist and rain. He

741
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:09,800
barely missed a big culvert which he
would have got killed in.

742
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:16,360
Totaled the car
and wiped out 450 ft of that. Which they

743
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:21,400
did pay, the county did pay. Your
insurance paid that.

744
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:27,400
And the year before that was when the
two young men got killed

745
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:31,720
on the highway right north of there.
And we had all kinds of debris, big

746
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:35,680
tires, everything else that got thrown
into our pasture.

747
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,840
We called the sheriff's department
again.

748
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:45,680
Nobody ever came out to help pick up
that mess. We picked it up ourselves.

749
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:50,720
So, I [clears throat] am asking
to see if you guys would help us out on

750
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:56,000
this. I I am really upset
with um

751
00:54:52,880 --> 00:55:01,160
I I feel like we've we've went over
bounds on chasing people.

752
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:05,480
There are several of us neighbors that
live on 75 and we are very concerned

753
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:11,760
that someday somebody's going to be
killed because I understand the sheriff

754
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:19,080
needs to to chase a car. I understand
that, but I don't believe at 100 mph.

755
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:24,080
Because somebody will get killed
eventually.

756
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:31,040
And um
Wade, he's representing, you know,

757
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:35,480
I I I want this guy and I would prefer
Wade to have this guy as this guy

758
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:39,640
actually in the subpoena had told the
other

759
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:43,120
attorney that he was um
>> I just

760
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:48,680
So,
the danger zone we're in right now is we

761
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:52,360
have an active criminal case.
And when we have an active criminal

762
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:57,960
case, where
it's still moving through the system,

763
00:55:55,880 --> 00:56:01,800
there are certain
rules and responsibilities. One of those

764
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:07,880
responsibilities,
especially from the prosecution side, is

765
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:10,013
to not have extrajudicial
statements made

766
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,033
that
>> [clears throat]

767
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:19,080
» could influence. So, this is on YouTube.
Someone will come back, and I don't want

768
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:22,280
there to be an issue with the case
moving forward. We've had that

769
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:28,040
conversation.
I'm I'm understanding that because under

770
00:56:27,044 --> 00:56:32,000
» [clears throat]
>> Kansas Rule of Professional

771
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:36,960
Responsibility Rule number 3.8, which
ties to special responsibilities of the

772
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:40,560
prosecutor,
I'm required, and

773
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:44,360
I just need to make sure it's stated,
and you can do with it what you want.

774
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:48,880
But,
prosecutor in a criminal case shall,

775
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:53,440
except for statements that are necessary
to inform the public of the nature and

776
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:58,640
extent of the prosecutor's action, and
that serve a legitimate law enforcement

777
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:03,600
purpose, refrain from making
extrajudicial comments that have a

778
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:08,400
substantial likelihood of heightened
public condemnation

779
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:13,000
of the accused, and exercise reasonable
care to prevent investigators, law

780
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:16,200
enforcement personnel, employees, or
other persons

781
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:21,120
assisting or associated with the
prosecutor in a criminal case from

782
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:24,760
making an extrajudicial statement that
the prosecutor would be prohibited from

783
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:30,280
making under
uh Rule 3.6. And then in the comments,

784
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,920
it ties to
uh

785
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:35,560
other
other persons.

786
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:40,360
I understand your frustration. We've
talked about it. I don't

787
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:43,800
I
>> And I could bring up what you said, but

788
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,800
I will not bring it up.
>> I

789
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,160
appreciate that.
>> Hm?

790
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:51,000
» I said we appreciate that.
>> Yeah.

791
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:56,080
» So, you know, if it's a concern like
this, we won't we won't do anything to

792
00:57:53,440 --> 00:58:01,960
jeopardize this case, you know.
>> And you know, um

793
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:05,760
I'm concerned about what I lose. I I am.
>> Totally would be, too. And the shoes.

794
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:11,120
» I'm starting to get really tired of
what's happening in our county.

795
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:14,320
And I I like the cops. I want them to be
there.

796
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:17,520
But
I'm going to ask you point-blank, who

797
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:22,560
would have paid my cows if they would
have ran over my cows and calves that

798
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,560
day? Who would have?

799
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:30,480
Can any of you say?
Would you guys have?

800
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:34,520
Would the county have paid?
>> Well, [clears throat] I guess it'd be a

801
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:37,400
case-by-case deal. In my That's what I
would think. But

802
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,120
I don't know what the legal
>> Because right now, I'm not getting paid

803
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,920
by anybody.
>> All right.

804
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:46,400
You haven't Have Have you been able to
collect any of the other money from

805
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,520
» From nothing.
>> from the other So, the rental car

806
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:53,040
insurance would
not have

807
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:58,760
» Because because nobody will look into
this. I'm the only one that looked into

808
00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:00,640
it and found out that the car was rented
by a girl in which

809
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:05,560
» No.
>> I asked them point-blank, why don't you

810
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:10,880
She says the car was stolen, but she
called it in at 3:29 a.m. He went

811
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:15,480
through my fence at 3:15 a.m. She got a
phone call. All you have to do is

812
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:20,360
subpoena her. Get her phone records.
Find out where she got the phone message

813
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:25,560
that she had to call in to the cops that
it was stolen at 7:00 the night before.

814
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:29,640
I don't believe that. I believe she
loaned it to him.

815
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:34,040
But, because I don't have any help of
getting that knowledge,

816
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:39,520
I can't go after Enterprise. If I had
that knowledge, Enterprise would be

817
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,520
responsible for everything.

818
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:45,840
» So, do you have any expectation of when
this

819
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:48,760
might go to court or be done with court?
Wait, I Well, it's it's hard to predict

820
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:54,520
when it'd be done.
>> It's It's moving through the system um

821
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:58,440
in
I guess it's a case that

822
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:02,640
for lack of better wording is in its
infancy and

823
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:07,680
I I'm not sure where it's going to go.
I'd like to have it resolved, but I

824
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:11,040
don't get to make that decision.
If they want to have a trial,

825
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:19,880
we're months and months out.
So,

826
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:24,000
I just want to make sure that
I'm I'm doing what I can for Ms. Kraus

827
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:30,360
and and her husband. I know she doesn't
feel that way, but I

828
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:34,640
I don't I don't control the the tone and
tempo and pace of of the system.

829
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:38,720
That's uh
That's That's outside

830
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:44,280
I guess it's within my control, but it's
outside of my control at the same time.

831
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:48,720
» Well, then would it be fair, Jerry,
talk to me a little bit about it after

832
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:53,120
the solution of the wheels of justice
get done, we revisit this here if you

833
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:57,920
have not been compensated for all your
losses and that's the commission, we

834
01:00:55,160 --> 01:01:01,200
could look back in on that and see if
what we can do at that point.

835
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:04,600
» That's what I'd be comfortable
>> with if

836
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:08,720
» And I would have appreciated the
sheriff's department telling me that

837
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:12,920
they were the ones that ran into it.
>> Jerry, is is your uh homeowner's

838
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:18,320
insurance does it cover anything?
>> No. Fence 250 ft from my house.

839
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:22,120
That's the only thing.
They will only cover fence 250 ft from

840
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:25,520
my house.
>> That's it.

841
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:29,480
» I did not know that.
Because because they told me if I went

842
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,840
through them, they would have to go
through

843
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:36,880
Fight Enterprise.
But

844
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:41,080
but they called me up and said, "Hey, we
don't do that. So, we're not Fight

845
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:47,200
Enterprise because we won't pay it."
So, nobody is Nobody's helping me.

846
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:52,440
Nobody's helped me find anything out.
And um I'm doing all my investigating on

847
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:57,320
my own.
And like I would I would like to see the

848
01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:01,840
dash cameras
of all the cops.

849
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,840
That's what I would like.

850
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:11,520
So, I guess I made my point here.
>> I understand your frustration and

851
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:14,800
getting hit three times in
2 years is pretty

852
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:18,128
» That's quite a bit.
>> You'd like to think your odds are going

853
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,720
to get better. You should
>> [clears throat]

854
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:23,680
» Oh.
>> Well, and Paul Blair could not believe

855
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:29,480
he built this all and 10 days later is
completely demolished.

856
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:34,440
And that's what it looks like now.
That's what it did I had not even taken

857
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:40,160
a picture of it before.
I do have all the damage if you want

858
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:43,000
those pictures, but uh
but

859
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:48,200
and Wade, you've done a good job. I'm
not I'm not mad at you.

860
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:52,240
Um I'm just I'm aggravated at the
system.

861
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:55,680
And I feel like the person that got the
damage

862
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:59,680
doesn't get any help.
>> Yeah.

863
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,680
» Thank you.

864
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:06,360
» Thank you.
>> Jerry, when this is

865
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:08,080
brought to an end judiciously with him,
please come back.

866
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:12,680
» Okay.
>> And we'll revisit this again.

867
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,680
» Okay.

868
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,960
» Okay.

869
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,920
Thanks, David.

870
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,800
Excuse me. Thank you.

871
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:38,720
» Emergency Management Director Amber
Presley, department update.

872
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:45,640
» Good morning.
>> Good morning.

873
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:50,680
» This will be short and sweet.
I have a lot.

874
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,680
» What's that, Floyd?

875
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:59,840
» Uh I did reach out to Stan Luke about uh
all the resources that the county has to

876
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:04,960
offer during any kind of emergencies or
situations, and um

877
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:09,600
I haven't heard back yet, but uh I'll
keep trying to get with him.

878
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,600
Uh

879
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:16,720
as far as weather, we didn't have
too much, but a lot of rain and

880
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:20,520
lightning this weekend. Lyon County, I
noticed was in a flood warning for one

881
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:25,280
of their creeks, but so far we don't
have any watches or warnings or

882
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:30,240
advisories for flooding as of right now.
And it could change. Um we were in a

883
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:33,400
flood watch over the weekend, but it got
canceled because they didn't get all the

884
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:38,480
rain that they thought
we would get. Um

885
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:43,520
some places in Kansas got 4 in, and
we didn't, though.

886
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:47,080
Um I did check John Redmond to see their
lake levels to make sure

887
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:51,800
that we were sitting good there. They're
not quite even halfway through

888
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:55,280
in between commerce conservation and the
flood stage, but they are 12 ft above

889
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:58,960
normal.
So, [clears throat] and but they're not

890
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:02,160
releasing much. I think there's one
one of the little gates open, not

891
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:05,280
releasing a whole lot, so I think
they're feeling pretty confident with

892
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:08,920
everything, so.
But I like to keep an eye on that. Um

893
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:13,560
towers,
so towers are progressing. Um all towers

894
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:17,560
are up.
Uh, all the fiber is ran, all the

895
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:21,040
generators are hooked up. They still
have some civil work to do at all

896
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:25,040
locations.
Um, all the fences around the towers are

897
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:29,960
done and
mainly the work is being done on the

898
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:34,480
interior of the building and then the
um, the racks that go in that have all

899
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:38,280
the radio stuff and all the
um, internet communications, all all

900
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,880
those things.
Um,

901
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:44,120
they did
Uh,

902
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:50,480
the contractor did have some people that
they lost to go work on stuff at

903
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:54,520
FIFA at the World Cup.
So, that set us back a little bit that

904
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:58,720
they aren't getting everything done as
much as they needed.

905
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:01,520
Um, it was like FIFA's putting
a hold on all kinds of things, but

906
01:06:01,485 --> 01:06:06,160
» [clears throat]
>> um, so we're kind of looking at pushing

907
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:10,960
back our completion date to probably
August where we were thinking we were

908
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:15,040
going to be done done in July. So,
August looks like our new completion

909
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:20,880
date on the towers.
Um, I participated as SimCell for the

910
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:24,360
Wolf Creek drill last Wednesday.
Um,

911
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:28,320
I played the entire county.
Uh, dispatch also got involved. They

912
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:32,800
participated by taking notifications
from Wolf Creek as they would do in a

913
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:37,120
real event or in a drill where they
everybody was participating. Um, that

914
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:40,760
gets them
some practice on taking those

915
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:45,120
notification forms and it also gives the
Wolf Creek communicators practice in

916
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:48,880
talking to dispatch. So,
um, that's a good practice.

917
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:52,800
Still don't have any
um, drills or exercises this year. We

918
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:57,520
plan on doing
uh, Wolf Creek training

919
01:06:55,120 --> 01:07:01,200
sometime late summer, maybe into the
fall a little bit.

920
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:05,440
And that's all I have.
>> Is that what was going on Wednesday up

921
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:09,600
at the building at Beaver Junction?
>> Yes. Yeah. The National Guard goes up

922
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:12,840
there and stations and
um

923
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:16,840
sometimes they go up there and just do
training and sometimes they participate

924
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:20,440
in those exercises. So, they'll go up
there and set up like it was a real

925
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:23,520
event
and run through the motions and then

926
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:27,640
take everything down.
>> I didn't see any military or National

927
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,320
Guard vehicles in the parking lot, which
really fooled me. That's kind of

928
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,680
» Oh.
>> one of the most memorable ones there.

929
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:35,840
» Yeah.
Usually National Guard.

930
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:42,160
Any questions, issues?
Comments?

931
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:45,040
I think Okay.
>> Nothing.

932
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:51,600
» Okay. All right.
Oh, we did get the um backup power bid

933
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:56,480
in. Mark voted in for me last week.
And we should be ready to roll. That'll

934
01:07:54,600 --> 01:08:01,160
run the 18th,
25th, and the 2nd. And then there's a

935
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:05,240
holiday that week, so I put the due date
on the following Monday, which is July

936
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:09,520
5th.
So, then uh we'll open the bids and I'll

937
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:12,240
look over them with everybody
um

938
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:14,400
with Adam and
um

939
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:21,440
and Austin. We'll kind of look at
what we like and then we'll bring it to

940
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:25,960
you on the 13th with a recommendation.
What we like.

941
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:28,880
Do when I come with that, do I bring all
the bids or just the one that we decided

942
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,960
on?
Cuz I know you guys probably would like

943
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:35,040
to look at
the bid prices and what else

944
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,640
» mind seeing all the bids.
>> Okay.

945
01:08:35,799 --> 01:08:37,640
» I just thought you meant
>> Okay.

946
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,720
» Okay.
>> Yeah, I can do that. I can put together

947
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:43,480
all the bids together
and the companies and everything. And

948
01:08:42,319 --> 01:08:46,640
then if you want to look at them
specifically, I can give them to you.

949
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:52,799
But, I'll still come with a
recommendation for what we like.

950
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:56,600
» Let's put it on the agenda for the first
>> For next week? Uh no, the 13th.

951
01:08:55,440 --> 01:09:00,040
Oh. Okay.
>> That's when you're auditing those

952
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,040
computers.

953
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:05,440
» So, y'all all can me out of the way
first. Yeah.

954
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:09,000
» Well, we don't plan to have her in the
meeting today, so

955
01:09:06,759 --> 01:09:12,200
» Okay.
All right. I know.

956
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:17,160
Right after
approval of the minutes.

957
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:20,160
Yes. Okay.
Thank you guys.

958
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,160
» All right. Thank you.

959
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:31,240
Heidi
planning and zoning

960
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:34,120
comprehensive plan project
>> Good morning commissioners.

961
01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:39,120
» Good morning.
>> So, as you are aware, we've been working

962
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:43,319
on the plan since beginning of middle of
last year. They kind of kicked it off

963
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:47,560
about July and did all of the town hall
meetings and did the focus groups. Then

964
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:53,040
they started writing the plan. We've
been slowly getting the document and due

965
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:56,960
to circumstances beyond both of our
controls, we're not as far along as I'd

966
01:09:55,080 --> 01:10:02,480
like to be right now.
So, what I'm asking us to do today is to

967
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:06,680
look at a possible extension because the
right now the contractual completion

968
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:11,840
date would be September 30th of this
year.

969
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:16,160
To be honest, we have about at least
seven more chapters to review, but then

970
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:20,840
we got to go back and look at goals and
goals and objectives in each chapter and

971
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:25,640
talk about the public hearing for this
for this planning board plus the ones

972
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:28,760
for you guys plus communications.
So, I don't think we can get that done

973
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:33,200
in three months.
Being realistic on that, the way that

974
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:38,040
we're reading the document and going
over it and making changes is great. I'm

975
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:41,200
glad that we're taking the time to do
that, but it's going to take us more

976
01:10:39,440 --> 01:10:44,800
time than three months.
So, my um

977
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:47,920
suggestion would be to extend it to the
end of the year and then we see where

978
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,960
we're at there.
Um

979
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:54,400
I have kind of been talking to the board
about maybe doing possible other

980
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:58,160
meetings on top of it where we're not
just doing comp plan. There's other

981
01:10:55,840 --> 01:11:01,600
projects that can come up between now
and then, too. So, we can specially do

982
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:04,920
that and then do at least a chapter on
the comp plan. They've been kind of

983
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:08,480
agreeable to that.
But, so I've been trying to help

984
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:12,000
push it through that way. And I know
that the document is getting longer now.

985
01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:15,760
So, the next chapters that we're going
to come up on are going to be like 30

986
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:19,680
plus pages
on their own.

987
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:26,240
So, um that's a lot to get through for
you to read as well. So, I have brought

988
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:26,240
a motion with me today.

989
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:33,560
Did you guys just look at
um

990
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:37,280
I did prepare a letter.
You want to highlight for me one of your

991
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:41,600
copies.
If you guys decide to

992
01:11:39,480 --> 01:11:45,800
go with the motion
It It is a draft letter, of course, if

993
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:50,240
it's not
what we want. Um Keith did ask that he

994
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:53,600
be on it and sign it along with the
chairman of the new board.

995
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:09,640
What's one of the motions she just read?
>> You got substantial

996
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:12,960
in there. That'd be anticipated
or something to give us leeway if we

997
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:15,280
have to extend it in the end on the
first of the year or

998
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,400
first of the year.
>> Okay.

999
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:22,600
So, you said it's on the new board.
>> That's what he's

1000
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,480
talking about.
>> I didn't hear you.

1001
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:31,120
» It's just having it where it's
anticipated date or something where in

1002
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:35,280
case cuz I sit in on them. I didn't make
the last one with the harvest and

1003
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:38,440
everything, but it's really bogging down
on them with a lot of questions,

1004
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:41,440
corrections.
>> They worked hard on it.

1005
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:47,240
» They've been working really hard at it.
And just so we talked earlier

1006
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:52,000
with Martin's that and Wade was in on
that

1007
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:57,000
We had a date, but it is anticipated
that if we needed more time, we could

1008
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,000
take more time.

1009
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:05,360
» The reason why I'm putting something in
writing and having the board and Marvin

1010
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:10,840
sign it
is the original contract the end date

1011
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:15,200
or substantial completion date of
September 30th. If it wasn't completed

1012
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:20,040
by that time, we
at the commission's request, we built a

1013
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:22,160
penalty phase into it, which is
>> I think this takes care of that.

1014
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:26,240
» This takes care of that.
>> That That was my understanding from

1015
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:29,880
Marvin's concern.
If they didn't get it done by that date,

1016
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:33,840
then they'd be responsible for a
penalty. So,

1017
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:37,880
as everything that's been said it is
exactly true.

1018
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:40,520
Taking taking their time to deal with
this and not

1019
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:43,960
push it through.
And then you have

1020
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:48,400
I was a part of one of the earlier
meetings where

1021
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:53,200
for lack of better wording, but
there was frustration on the part of the

1022
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:57,160
planning board because
they're volunteers and

1023
01:13:55,560 --> 01:14:00,800
multiple meetings to get this thing
pushed through by that that due date.

1024
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:05,000
That's not fair to the volunteer board
members. So, that For For those reasons,

1025
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:10,280
this is
a request that's being made. So,

1026
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:13,520
» if we approve this extension, then I
mean, the compensation does not change,

1027
01:14:12,440 --> 01:14:16,440
right? I mean,
they're still

1028
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:19,280
It eliminates the penalty phase, but the
compensation remains the same.

1029
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:22,040
» Correct.
>> Okay.

1030
01:14:20,480 --> 01:14:25,360
» I need to correct me.
I may be wrong on this, but I thought

1031
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:30,240
Marvin's was supposed to come down to
some of these work sessions personally

1032
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:33,480
instead of doing it on the Zoom.
>> So,

1033
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:41,040
due to the unforeseen circumstances on
their end, too, they've picked up some

1034
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:41,040
more work. That's not our concern.

1035
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:48,760
But, uh
So, one of them is going to be able to

1036
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:53,040
attend. Um they are claiming to come to
at least the

1037
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:57,720
land use sections. I feel like the land
use section should be done in person and

1038
01:14:55,360 --> 01:15:02,080
the golden objectives plus the public
hearing presentation.

1039
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:06,040
They are going planning to come. It's
just

1040
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:09,840
schedule has
The one that would be doing that would

1041
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:15,480
be Keith and he has been on other
projects, not just ours. So,

1042
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:21,600
that's why Mason's been the one doing it
on their behalf. But, they do plan for

1043
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:21,600
those to be in person.

1044
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:28,920
» So, on this motion that you were talking
about the word substantially,

1045
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:32,920
do we need to reword that?
>> Yes, sir.

1046
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,920
» Should it stay or

1047
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,440
We used to put it in time for a word.

1048
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:42,480
It's just going to be all right there.

1049
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:47,800
It's your job.
Okay, I'm sorry.

1050
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,920
» No, it's okay. It's on the bottom line
there.

1051
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:54,680
With this motion that might work, you
know.

1052
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:58,320
I was reading on their letter.
>> Oh, okay.

1053
01:15:56,200 --> 01:16:02,480
» Okay, so that's just a draft. With the
noise, I haven't It's not set in stone.

1054
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:05,960
Just wanted to bring that with it so
that I could get your

1055
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:09,680
opinions and advice of how to have it
written so that you can get it out.

1056
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:13,800
» One other thing, Heidi, this is not
taking a shot at you, but with Morbiz,

1057
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:18,480
when we made this a deal, we looked at
some other people in the Kansas City

1058
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:21,720
area and we were afraid that we'd be put
on the back burner for other people

1059
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:26,640
coming in.
And I know that they had some

1060
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:30,360
circumstances there and I think to me
it's feeling like maybe we're kind of

1061
01:16:28,480 --> 01:16:33,000
getting pushed off the burner to another
one.

1062
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,520
» We were before.
We aren't now.

1063
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:39,200
» Okay.
>> No, they are They're very responsive to

1064
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:43,080
our requests that are being made and
they're very responsive on the changes

1065
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:47,320
we want made. I'm keeping them month to
month, so that way I'm not giving the

1066
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:51,560
board too much at a time cuz I feel like
that'd be a lot of information overload

1067
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:54,600
if I gave them two chapters plus have
the old

1068
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:58,640
um draft
that they were looking at before. So, we

1069
01:16:56,480 --> 01:17:03,920
are going at a very good pace.
>> Well, I'm talking about Marvin and their

1070
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:07,240
overload that they're seeming to have.
>> They're They're able to They're managing

1071
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:10,120
it better now.
>> Okay.

1072
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:13,600
» A couple months ago, it's a little bit
of a struggle, but

1073
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,680
they're They're doing better now.
>> Good.

1074
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:20,640
» So, yes.
>> The other night, I felt that the Zoom

1075
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:20,640
with Russ and with Marvin

1076
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:26,680
it it worked pretty close to them being
in the room. Not not maybe not as good

1077
01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:30,880
as Todd, but it it it seemed to work
pretty good the other night.

1078
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:34,840
There's times that
with lag between

1079
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:38,960
the Zoom, the computers, and everything,
some things get missed and have to be

1080
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:42,440
repeated. It's not the best to hear in
there.

1081
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:45,520
The one last meeting I was at,
we couldn't see what was his name?

1082
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:49,360
» Mason, yeah. He was having
>> And Mason was a huge talking on black

1083
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:52,760
screen on a black screen.
>> Well, then at the end of last meeting,

1084
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,000
we were having issues with our camera.
>> Yeah, I

1085
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:57,480
» So,
>> messed up the whole meeting. There's a

1086
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:59,920
lot of money that's been laid out there
thinking they were going to be there in

1087
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:03,520
person.
So, that's where I'm coming from.

1088
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:12,760
So, wait, did Did you have any
recommendations on the motion?

1089
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:15,080
We good the way it is?
I mean,

1090
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:23,480
I think it's fine for what
what you're wanting to do right now. I

1091
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:27,000
think it it could always
be worked a little bit, but

1092
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:33,880
in essence, it covers the substantial
completion date that September 30th

1093
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:38,600
extends that to
December 31st, and if there are any

1094
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:42,240
issues, it be
re-addressed at that time.

1095
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,320
So,
go ahead and use it.

1096
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:51,200
Take this with
>> I think it's fine.

1097
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:55,720
» Okay, I would entertain the motion based
upon the recommendation of the planning

1098
01:18:53,240 --> 01:19:00,040
and zoning director and approval as to
form by the county attorney

1099
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:05,400
to authorize and direct the chairman of
the Coffee County Commission

1100
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:09,600
to sign the letter of extension
to extend the existing contract with

1101
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:15,880
Marvin Planning Consultants to complete
Coffee County's comprehensive plan and

1102
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:21,640
estimate to be substantially complete on
or before December 31st, 2026.

1103
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:24,640
» I'll make a motion. [clears throat] I'll
second that.

1104
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:29,200
» Okay, Curry moved.

1105
01:19:26,440 --> 01:19:31,040

1107
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:40,320
» Okay, I'll go ahead and
make that correction on the letter and

1108
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,880
then we'll bring it back up to the next
meeting.

1109
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:44,400
Thank you.
>> Thank you, lady.

1110
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,880
All right.

1111
01:20:02,440 --> 01:20:05,920
Well, we have a few things to

1112
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:10,720
or community assistance block grant.

1113
01:20:16,480 --> 01:20:22,000
» Okay, everything that I've got is going
to be going that way.

1114
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:29,080
» She's not on the
Did she back out or is it

1115
01:20:28,480 --> 01:20:31,360
Yeah.
>> Yes, she's there.

1116
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:35,280
» 10:50
That's the part your

1117
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:38,280
» Right after Heidi.
>> Oh, it's not on the end of the bar.

1118
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,520
» Oh, on the screens?
>> Yeah.

1119
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:44,320
» Okay.
>> Oh.

1120
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,320
No.

1121
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:59,360
» She saw it on earlier. I don't know what
happened.

1122
01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:01,440
She said it's on the speeder.
>> I'll put it

1123
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,720
» It's on the printer.
>> Yeah.

1124
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:09,120
» It was on the one I looked at last
night.

1125
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:13,960
» On the internet?
>> It was.

1126
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,960
» That's what I thought.

1127
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:41,960
» It's fascinating.
>> Yeah, it was on the

1128
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:46,640
What's that last night?

1129
01:21:47,971 --> 01:21:49,991
» [clears throat]

1130
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:02,360
» Do you want me to call Amelia to come on
up?

1131
01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:04,680
» If she can come up earlier, that would
be fine.

1132
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,000
» The number you have dialed

1133
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:33,960
» How are you doing, Tony?
>> Best day ever.

1134
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:33,960
» All right.

1135
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:40,080
» How about you?
>> Same.

1136
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,080
» There you go.

1137
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:47,760
» Just gets better and better.
>> So you

1138
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,760
» All right, start.

1139
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:55,840
» Second day of summer
and for the next 4 or 5 days the highs

1140
01:23:53,880 --> 01:24:00,760
only going to be in the 70s.
I've never seen it this cool in the

1141
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,760
summer.

1142
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:06,600
» But that's all right. 90 and 100 degree
days are coming.

1143
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:26,880
» Wait, and you are running a
bit ahead, so

1144
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:32,560
So yeah, really if you want good

1145
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:39,560
So do we have to actually meet as a uh
board of health?

1146
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:43,640
» Um
>> For this or what do we

1147
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:50,080
» I mean it's for our WIC um update
agreement, so it's

1148
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:50,080
the medical side that we have to do

1149
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:55,160
» Do we officially need to do anything? I
mean

1150
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:58,280
As a board of health, do we need to
officially go in and

1151
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,560
» I suppose you probably should.
>> Okay.

1152
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:04,800
» Um
yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't have that

1153
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:04,800
ready. I didn't read that.

1154
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:11,720
And here's the I know that it was sent
over, but

1155
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:13,600
I did highlight the changes on the
handout.

1156
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:16,000
» Okay.
>> You're welcome.

1157
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:22,760
» Hey, we're going to
I will move to

1158
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:25,840
» Convene at 4:35,
right?

1159
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,840
» Yeah. Yeah.

1160
01:25:26,440 --> 01:25:34,880
I would move to convene as a board of
health

1161
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:38,520
at [snorts] 10:36
a.m.

1162
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:44,400
I'll second.
Okay. I move to 10:36.

1163
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:45,600
Any discussion? All in favor?
Say aye.

1164
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:49,040
» Aye.
>> Any opposed?

1165
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,000
Passes 5-0.
Okay.

1166
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:53,040
» I have a
>> We are adjourned.

1167
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:58,680
» And I thank you for taking the time to
meet today. Um so, I went ahead and

1168
01:25:56,200 --> 01:26:03,640
printed off our previous one from 2022.
So this is our WIC um Women, Infants,

1169
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:09,080
and Children program agreement.
So currently

1170
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:12,960
Ryan County Care Arc, um they are the I
guess you could call parent for the

1171
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:16,080
county, so they do all of the federal,
the primal, the reporting, and all that

1172
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:19,680
in our region.
So that's the current Kids as Great

1173
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:24,280
Start Management System.
Um They have been managing our WIC

1174
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:27,600
clients for over 20 years.
They just have to have an updated

1175
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:32,040
agreement every so often. Our last
agreement was from 2022 to 2023. So

1176
01:26:30,440 --> 01:26:35,720
that's the first attachment and I did
highlight the changes.

1177
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:42,800
Some of our responsibilities have
changed.

1178
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:47,200
We are no longer billed by hours
for the monthly registered dietitian

1179
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:52,480
expense. So that comes directly from the
WIC funds that they receive. So we're no

1180
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:56,360
longer billed that.
We

1181
01:26:54,000 --> 01:27:01,320
no longer have to employ a registered
nurse for them to do like the heights

1182
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:04,920
and the weight once we
move to the health department basically

1183
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:09,080
the nurses well.
And then we no longer have to employ the

1184
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:12,600
clerical person. So that would be like
the check-in

1185
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:17,400
individual.
The ones that will distribute the cards.

1186
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:22,880
The ones that work.
And then we no longer have to reimburse

1187
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:27,040
for their fiscal officer's time. That's
all from their um

1188
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:32,360
grant funds as well.
And then same with the registered

1189
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:32,360
dietitian. We'll put it on their grant.

1190
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:38,880
So the second one is the actual updated
agreement.

1191
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:42,640
So this one is presented to you guys to
make sure you guys don't have any

1192
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:47,520
questions or concerns and for
authorization to go ahead and sign the

1193
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,520
agreement. So I'll turn it back over.

1194
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:54,040
And that will be for 2026 to 2027 grant
cycle.

1195
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:07,360
And the reason why we haven't held the
WIC

1196
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:11,760
program within Coffee County, why it's
contracted out to Glynn County is just

1197
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:13,600
because the registered dietitian
portion.

1198
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:18,440
Um
for the individuals who need recertified

1199
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:23,120
or initial certification for WIC
services, um there has to be a

1200
01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:26,640
registered dietitian that performs those
assessments.

1201
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:30,240
And unfortunately, we are a rural
community and lack

1202
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:34,320
um
the availability of registered

1203
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:34,320
dietitians.

1204
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:45,080
But they do come on site.
Um there was a little bit of a funding

1205
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:48,280
um shortage on the federal side. They
did cut funds

1206
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:53,480
temporarily
um in 20 25, so they did have to do them

1207
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:58,200
virtually, but they are back on site
doing the services.

1208
01:28:56,200 --> 01:29:03,080
Any questions?
>> This has worked out well in the past?

1209
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,080
» Oh, yeah, absolutely.

1210
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:07,720
» Any other questions?

1211
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:13,680
I don't know if we can approve this.
>> It's like something we need.

1212
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:16,840
» Yes.
>> Do you have an idea about how many

1213
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:21,720
people this serves in our county?
>> Um I do not, but I can get those numbers

1214
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:25,440
for this year
and send it over to you guys.

1215
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:33,240
I mean I
I'm not even going to give you an

1216
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:35,760
estimate because we don't see all of the
patients. So typically, whenever they

1217
01:29:34,480 --> 01:29:38,880
come in for their WIC appointments, they
come upstairs to see us for their

1218
01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:40,200
immunization appointment.
>> Yeah.

1219
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:41,560
Okay.
>> Yeah.

1220
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:44,880
» Just kind of curious.
>> Yes, I can get those numbers.

1221
01:29:43,440 --> 01:29:46,800
» Pretty substantial, though, I would
guess.

1222
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:50,520
» Um
I think you guys would be surprised on

1223
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:50,520
the numbers.

1224
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:54,960
They're They're pretty busy down there.
>> Yeah.

1225
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:57,120
I mean, I would
Yeah.

1226
01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:06,120
All right. I will I will move to approve
the Women, Infant, Children Program

1227
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:10,000
Agreement {slash} budget between Care
Arc and Emporia and the Coffee County

1228
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:18,120
Health Department

1229
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:22,480
through September 30, 2027
to ensure that the eligible citizens of

1230
01:30:20,440 --> 01:30:25,520
Coffee County are provided with wick
services.

1231
01:30:24,440 --> 01:30:31,480
I'll second.
>> Kevin Drawl seconded.

1232
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:34,880
» I move and can't drawl second.
>> Any discussion?

1233
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,920
All in favor say aye.
>> Aye.

1234
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:42,360
» Anybody oppose?
>> Passes 5-0.

1235
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:47,800
» So that is approved.
>> All righty, we get a copy of that

1236
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:50,480
agreement once it's fully executed.
>> Sure.

1237
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:55,200
Give it to Angie at least.
>> Okay, sounds good.

1238
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:57,440
» Okay, so you don't have anything else as
far as Board of Health?

1239
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:59,960
» No,
nothing else.

1240
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:06,720
» Okay,

1242
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:14,640
Commissioners.
I'll second that.

» Okay, Commissioner Thompson seconded.

» Aye.
>> Passes 5-0.

1245
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:23,480
Okay.
>> All right, that's all I have for today.

1246
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,320
Thank you for your time.
>> All right, thank you very much.

1247
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,640
Appreciate you coming out.
>> Thank you.

1248
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,600
» Okay.

1249
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:40,120
So let's continue here.
You guys are still signing and stuff,

1250
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:43,428
right?
Let's continue here.

1251
01:31:41,408 --> 01:31:43,428
» [clears throat]

1252
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:48,840
» You know what I mean?

1253
01:31:54,840 --> 01:32:00,960
Clayton, are you still working on the
water software thing?

1254
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:05,200
» I'm working on it. Yes. Um
so what I've suggested

1255
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:09,760
Tom is
going to get a copy of the

1256
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:18,520
room where this particular water
softener will be placed, so they have

1257
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:24,040
what what it looks like in that room.
And then there was a brochure that River

1258
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:30,080
City sent out when I ordered one of the
requests to

1259
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:36,720
them from whoever this entity was.
So attach that that brochure, the design

1260
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:41,400
plan, and then keep everything else the
same. Bring that back.

1261
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:46,600
Update the notice, and then those will
be the documents that will be available

1262
01:32:43,440 --> 01:32:51,960
to anybody who
wants to request information. That way

1263
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:56,560
it's fair across the board. That seems
to be

1264
01:32:53,680 --> 01:33:00,840
internally consistent with what some of
the requests were for. What does that

1265
01:32:58,440 --> 01:33:05,120
room look like? What what space is
available? I don't know how big these

1266
01:33:02,480 --> 01:33:09,960
things are, but maybe that makes a
difference in what what they'll put as

1267
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:14,120
part of their bid. And then the scope of
what

1268
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:20,680
the brochure is that is kind of the
design

1269
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:23,600
for these water softeners.
I don't know what else to do.

1270
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:28,480
So he's working on that right now.
>> Okay.

1271
01:33:35,480 --> 01:33:39,680
» Are you all
done signing?

1272
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:42,640
» I have everything I need and I'm done.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

1273
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,520
» Well,

1274
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:54,400
I want to do round table real quick
before we do budget work session.

1275
01:33:55,000 --> 01:34:01,000
Thank you.
Do you have to say for round table?

1276
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:07,160
I'm just handing
these out. The uh

1277
01:34:05,240 --> 01:34:11,160
Coffee County Cancer Support Group came
by my office. I think they

1278
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:15,880
thought they were on the agenda for
today.

1279
01:34:12,480 --> 01:34:22,200
I indicated to them, and this is
maybe me speaking out of turn.

1280
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:26,470
I was already providing some diversion
money to the Cancer Support Group.

1281
01:34:25,480 --> 01:34:28,240
Um
>> [clears throat]

1282
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:32,280
» I think nobody will deny it's a
noteworthy cause and and group, the

1283
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:34,160
effort that they
uh

1284
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:37,800
put forward.
But, if

1285
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:41,120
my understanding is correct from what
you've indicated previously, that that's

1286
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:45,800
not
a good utilization of taxpayer money.

1287
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:49,280
Diversion money is not taxpayer money,
and that's why I

1288
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:51,600
contribute to them.
Um

1289
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:55,880
so,
she wanted me to hand these out to each

1290
01:34:54,120 --> 01:35:02,240
of you. This is matters for you to do
with. Do with it what you what you want.

1291
01:34:59,920 --> 01:35:02,240
» Okay.

1292
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:11,320
All right. Thanks.
Anything else?

1293
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:15,360
» I actually got a couple things.
>> What?

1294
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:18,240
» Well, so one
one is on the North property.

1295
01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:23,400
» Uh-huh.
>> I have the as I indicated last week, I

1296
01:35:20,480 --> 01:35:27,640
have the completed uh three-person
appraisal

1297
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:33,000
appraiser opinion of value, which
includes not only the residence, but the

1298
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:37,560
uh agricultural property, and then that
final figure.

1299
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:40,080
That has not been provided to
each of you.

1300
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:45,640
Uh and that's
done intentionally. The only thing that

1301
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:49,600
you've seen so far is the agreement that
contemplated what the scope of work was.

1302
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:54,120
Just And that's for
those two out there as well.

1303
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:59,720
What we're waiting on was the completed
full appraisal from Jeff Clark, which I

1304
01:35:56,360 --> 01:36:05,240
received on either Friday or Saturday. I
can't remember which one. It It's

1305
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:10,240
probably 30
30 pages, maybe. Maybe just a little bit

1306
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:15,400
less than that. That That has been
completed. So,

1307
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:18,880
now we're at the stage where
you need to figure out how you want to

1308
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:21,160
move forward.
Um

1309
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:28,200
You You probably need to consider
setting a a reserve then

1310
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:33,480
um because I have the advantage of
having the the documents to

1311
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:37,400
to talk about, I think,
for

1312
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:42,000
purposes of setting
sort of the structure on how you want to

1313
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:45,600
move forward.
You may consider

1314
01:36:44,520 --> 01:36:48,920
uh
It It may be something that we need to

1315
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:53,360
talk about
as a consultation with with your

1316
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:57,840
attorney to move forward. We don't have
to do that right now. You can maybe chew

1317
01:36:56,120 --> 01:37:01,760
on that and then
from there,

1318
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:07,160
all of the all of the information at
some point will have to be disclosed.

1319
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:11,840
But, right now, so that somebody does
not have a competitive advantage to move

1320
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:15,840
forward, um
because that

1321
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:21,360
you want this to be just like anything
else and you've done this before.

1322
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:24,880
You go back in time when you were
uh

1323
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:26,760
selling other property, you came up with
a

1324
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:31,720
a
a a figure

1325
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:36,080
and that figure, for for this purpose,
you need to set up

1326
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:40,600
your your reserve
and you don't want that reserve

1327
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:44,280
disclosed publicly because if all you're
going to do is set a reserve and do it

1328
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:48,440
publicly, then you might as well just
say here's what what your figure is

1329
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:53,120
because if it goes out to
an auction or on the market, then

1330
01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:58,280
somebody already knows what your what
your bottom line is. So, that that's

1331
01:37:56,520 --> 01:38:01,040
sort of the the point of that, but you
need to know

1332
01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:07,200
sort of what you're working with and
what you have uh regarding these

1333
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:07,200
appraisals. The appraisal is

1334
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:13,120
a benefit to
you as a board so that it doesn't look

1335
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:15,840
like from the outside looking in, maybe
it will anyways, I don't know,

1336
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:21,000
um
that you just pulled a number out of the

1337
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:25,800
air. It actually is a number that has
been that is by professionals in that

1338
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:30,320
industry who
uh came up with the those numbers. So,

1339
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:33,760
then somebody wants to assign blame or
scrutiny to you later on down the road,

1340
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:35,760
then
it's

1341
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:41,720
the [clears throat] these are figures
that are used in the courtroom. These

1342
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:45,000
are figures that are reasonable and uh
would withstand that that scrutiny if it

1343
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:51,120
comes.
Benefit to the board, so that's it.

1344
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:53,440
That's number one. Number two,
I have two

1345
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:57,280
um
executive sessions that I need to

1346
01:38:55,640 --> 01:39:01,480
request. One
is I need to provide you an update

1347
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:05,760
regarding
ongoing litigation against the county.

1348
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:11,320
Um
that's number one. Number two

1349
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:16,080
would be similar except for in case
potential litigation against the county.

1350
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:20,760
And those are two
issues that I'm not going to talk about

1351
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:25,160
in the open. You need to be
um advised of what what's happening

1352
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:30,640
regarding each scenario.
>> I will.

1353
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:35,600
» This one e- each of them 10 minutes.
>> Before we do that, real quick, can she

1354
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:40,080
call?
Do you have enough

1355
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:41,920
update on uh wholesale 12?
>> Yeah, I think

1356
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:44,600
» It's short update.
>> Okay, it has to be long.

1357
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:47,000
» Yeah, I have to be.
You want

1358
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:53,120
» give that to us real quick before we
move into this other stuff. Maybe also

1359
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:56,840
» Um last Wednesday I went up and
took her letter took letter up to him

1360
01:39:54,920 --> 01:40:01,280
talked to him and it was it was very
well received. Um they have the same

1361
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:05,640
basic philosophy that we do we need to
secure water out of Mountain Reservoir

1362
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:10,000
for the to secure future public water
supply 12 in the region.

1363
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:13,040
They're very much willing to
press forward. They're in the middle

1364
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:17,680
they want to send a letter back with
support uh for a mutual meeting.

1365
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:22,080
Richard Hines their lawyer will be
reaching out to Wade to talk about the

1366
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:25,840
legal issues we need to get worked out.
The only worry they have is the same one

1367
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:30,480
we did is making sure that we all agree
on the verbage so no uh future

1368
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:33,600
commission or board water board have to
worry about what we've done.

1369
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:37,280
So but it was it was terrifically
received. So

1370
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:40,000
uh they did receive a little update as
far as what it would look like the

1371
01:40:38,480 --> 01:40:44,520
general outline
from Men West and Engineering. Uh I'll

1372
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:48,040
be working with Jenny to work with them
to bring them the information back up so

1373
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:52,840
we can give you that same same
information so people see we can keep

1374
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:55,960
everybody on the same page.
Any questions?

1375
01:40:54,720 --> 01:41:00,080
» Very good.
>> Oh no it was it was terrific. It was

1376
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:02,360
really up beating.
>> I appreciate the update.

1377
01:41:02,094 --> 01:41:05,880
» [clears throat]
>> Thank you.

1378
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:05,880
» Thanks Carl.

1379
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,880
» Okay.

1380
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:18,240
Move back to executive session.
You said 10 minutes, right?

1381
01:41:15,480 --> 01:41:22,880
» 10 minutes for each.
>> I would entertain a motion to enter into

1382
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:27,920

>> I'll move.

1408
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:23,520
» Oh, did you move?
>> No, I I moved.

1409
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:26,120
» So McCrary moved, Parker seconded.
Any discussion?

1410
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:28,400
All in favor, say aye.
>> Aye.

1411
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:31,840
» May oppose?
>> Passes 5-0.

1412
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:36,760
» Yes, at 11:19.

1413
01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:58,960
» Back in open session.
No action taken [clears throat]

1414
01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:58,960
following that executive session.

1415
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:12,047
Do you have anything else on the round
table waiting for me to do?

1416
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:17,160
» I I think [clears throat] we may

1417
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:21,200
» after a while may go ahead and
do the attorney client

1418
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:23,120
concern
up north.

1419
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:27,240
» Okay.
I'm going to go and

1420
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:31,720
see if I can get the documents from Palm
on the

1421
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:36,880
the water softener so that can
can re-advertised.

1422
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:43,960
And just so you know, I mentioned last
week the issue regarding the the air

1423
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:51,640
handler and actuators and updates.
The estimate came in under $10,000.

1424
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:51,640
So

1425
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:58,960
I plan on
going ahead and giving the green light

1426
01:44:55,680 --> 01:45:04,360
to to make that happen.
Otherwise, if you don't do that

1427
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:08,680
somewhere in the very near future is a
$250,000

1428
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:13,840
uh replacement and this [clears throat]
will extend the life of what you have

1429
01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:13,840
currently. So

1430
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:16,560
» That's good.

1431
01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:24,640
» Okay. Tom, do you have anything?
>> Yeah, um

1432
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:27,840
I think this is doing budgets and stuff
and everything. I

1433
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:32,280
would like some time
maybe guys are in and care or anything.

1434
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:35,560
An update from
the jail and sheriff's department on how

1435
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:40,440
much money we're taking out of the
federal prisoners. That was supposed to

1436
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:43,400
offset and then on the bond issue, see
where we're at.

1437
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:49,400
What we're going to have to decide to
come up with money for payment if

1438
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:49,400
anything's being made towards that yet.

1439
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:56,280
Just being updated a little bit on that.
Kind of help us

1440
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:59,280
I was thinking about that last week
myself and

1441
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:08,640
Well, I mean since he switched switched
to Benchmark, wasn't that just to save

1442
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:10,200
quite a bit of money?
the kitchen. Yeah.

1443
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:14,120
» Yeah.
>> Yeah, there was a lot of money

1444
01:46:12,568 --> 01:46:19,080
» [clears throat]
>> Yeah, that's $13 a meal that

1445
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:22,720
every or whatever it was. I had those
figures.

1446
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:22,720
Yeah, so.

1447
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:31,360
» All right.
>> You got anything on the top?

1448
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:34,800
» I think that's all I got.
>> All right, okay.

1449
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:40,160
» Uh only thing I've got, uh Darren did
get back with me and the tenant at the

1450
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:44,320
airport is willing to go ahead and lease
that at the rate. I don't know if we may

1451
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:48,880
have to get more definite definite
acreage. 25 to 55 acres was his initial

1452
01:46:47,440 --> 01:46:51,600
thought. So,
when we get that, I suppose we'll need

1453
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:55,960
to
give those something in the contract as

1454
01:46:53,360 --> 01:46:55,960
far as

1455
01:46:56,160 --> 01:47:02,400
Just what I had in mind.
That's all I got.

1456
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:05,960
» Okay.
>> Mike?

1457
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:10,200
Only thing I really got was same thing
kind of Wade's talking about the

1458
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:13,480
airport, that industrial park and then
Heidi said it's progressing pretty good,

1459
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:18,360
the platting of it.
Um here's She talked to me

1460
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:23,160
a couple weeks ago
and

1461
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:27,440
apparently the architect or engineer,
whoever plotting it out wanted to name

1462
01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:33,360
for that subdivision.
So, I think preliminarily

1463
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:38,880
the name Prairie Grass Industrial Park
was established for that little airport.

1464
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:44,280
And then she hit me up last week about
naming the road because she had asked

1465
01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:50,200
name for the road so EOC could issue
calls addresses for each one of them.

1466
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:56,480
And I sent her back a suggestion of
Meadowlark Street or Meadowlark Lane.

1467
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:59,280
» Would it tie Could it tie into Meadow?
>> Or to Meadowlark Lane?

1468
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:01,400
» It doesn't have
>> So, I didn't know if you

1469
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:06,640
» It's [clears throat] small.
>> Yeah.

1470
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:09,560
» Yeah, that one's over to the east, so.
>> But it sounds like it's progressing

1471
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:11,120
pretty good. That ought to be It'll be
pretty quick.

1472
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:15,360
» Good.
>> So.

1473
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:16,560
» Cuz this has been going on for like a
about a year.

1474
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:18,040
» About a year.
>> Yeah.

1475
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:18,840
» Good deal.
>> Yeah.

1476
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:22,280
» Good.
>> Yeah, it's almost the park will have

1477
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:23,560
legal descriptions for those building
sites and

1478
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:26,040
» Good.
>> an official industrial park.

1479
01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:27,520
» Good.
>> So.

1480
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,960
» By the county.
>> And we've got some infrastructure

1481
01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:32,240
already out there, so that's a good
thing.

1482
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:37,000
» Yeah, he's working towards the water.
>> Yeah. Yep, that's the next big obstacle.

1483
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:39,040
» Okay.
>> Sounds good.

1484
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:42,080

Cuz I don't see any reason to go out

1531
01:52:02,080 --> 01:52:07,920
advertise any longer on that cuz that's
already been out quite a bit.

I don't have anything additional to add.

Wade is uh

1538
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:44,400
trying to gather up something so we can
make a motion on the water softener

1539
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:47,240
again and then
probably also

1540
01:52:47,480 --> 01:52:54,640
discuss something more further.
>> But in the meantime, we can look at

1541
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:57,600
budget stuff, I guess.
Oh, Angie, I never asked you if you had

1542
01:52:56,640 --> 01:53:02,880
any ideas.
>> Um I don't believe I do right now. Uh

1543
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:11,280
We are missing a few budgets,
not very many, but um one of the

1544
01:53:09,480 --> 01:53:16,920
hardest. So I don't know if we submitted
those, but

1545
01:53:12,640 --> 01:53:16,920
we'll just do what we can and and we'll

1546
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:21,800
make sure that we get any changes or
whatever.

1547
01:53:22,840 --> 01:53:31,000
And I can mark things down.
>> How about the

1548
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:33,240
Oh, hopefully
Andy, do you have anything you want to

1549
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:36,640
say?
Any comments?

1550
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:36,640
» Sure.

1551
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:41,360
And you made notes.
>> Oh, you actually have something?

1552
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:44,440
» Yes.
>> I was just going to I just thought since

1553
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:46,160
you're there, I'd ask.
>> Okay.

1554
01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:49,200
» Sorry.
>> It's all right.

1555
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:52,840
» Yes, you like Mark Twain said, "If you
get what you ask for, you might get it."

1556
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:57,000
» Yeah, so what you got?
>> I'm just going to go back to

1557
01:53:54,760 --> 01:54:02,240
having been a recent recent patient out
here at the hospital and also worked a

1558
01:53:59,720 --> 01:54:07,720
few years in health care. The billing
question thing we were talking about uh

1559
01:54:04,600 --> 01:54:11,920
I was reading the paper
the other night and there were like four

1560
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:16,618
columns of 10
filings in the court system for overdue

1561
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:18,680
bills. That's the

1562
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:23,680
» a hassle that every small hospital that
I ever worked at, which was Concordia,

1563
01:54:20,920 --> 01:54:28,080
Parsons, Iola,
everybody has that issue. So that's part

1564
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:33,360
of what they're fighting with the
billing problems there is that they have

1565
01:54:30,440 --> 01:54:36,200
a whole bunch of self-pay, no-pay
people.

1566
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:42,720
You know,
I had my stuff done in really April and

1567
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:46,200
already have my bill
and they were very helpful at the

1568
01:54:43,960 --> 01:54:50,480
billing office. So I was surprised
because I'd heard yes, all the stories

1569
01:54:48,920 --> 01:54:57,200
about it that I needed to set up a
payment system since with no income I I

1570
01:54:53,720 --> 01:55:01,280
couldn't get paid check for a while. But
but they were very helpful and got me

1571
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:05,160
with the people I needed to be. So I
think things are better, they're not

1572
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:12,120
perfect by any means, but uh I think
there's been a lot of improvement with

1573
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:15,920
the current CFO billing system. I
the bill, when I look at it, it's

1574
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:20,640
doesn't provide a lot of information
that I'd like to see there as a previous

1575
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:24,000
practitioner, but as far as details
>> Details, yes.

1576
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:28,200
» He They talked about that the last
meeting I went to, and if you were to

1577
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:31,240
call up there and speak correctly, they
will give you a MRI

1578
01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:33,255
» I didn't get a bill
>> Right.

1579
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:37,680
» I found a request, yes, that's right.
[clears throat]

1580
01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:42,520
» But most bills most bills will have that
detail in it and you don't have to go

1581
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:46,280
making extra efforts to track them down,
but uh

1582
01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:50,080
good point though. Okay. Um so
>> And that was And that was brought up at

1583
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:51,200
the last meeting on on on the Catholic
board

1584
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:54,560
» The board meeting, yeah.
>> Yeah.

1585
01:55:52,280 --> 01:55:58,800
» Good. Okay. Yeah, that was where my only
thoughts as a follow-up of my speaking

1586
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:01,960
for myself like Steve, you know, having
dealt directly with

1587
01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:06,640
» And I said St. Luke's and I realize
that's a larger hospital, but I I guess

1588
01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:10,400
my point was was that if if
it's like that, it seems like in every

1589
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:13,160
» Every All hospitals
>> All hospitals

1590
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:16,760
» In the smaller hospitals in general, all
suffer with a high number of people with

1591
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:19,000
no insurance.
>> Yeah.

1592
01:56:17,120 --> 01:56:22,400
» And you know, I worked for about 8 and
1/2 years helping at a clinic up in

1593
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:25,320
Shawnee Kansas.
You know, you think of Johnson County as

1594
01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:28,000
affluent
>> Uh with the

1595
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:32,320
» as it is, a clinic it is still there.
I'm just not there.

1596
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:37,400
Um that was for people with no or poor
insurance. For $40 a visit, they could

1597
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:41,040
come in and see a practitioner for
health care. And And but they had to

1598
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:44,320
pay, you know, had to pay the bill.
>> Because if you go into emergency room, I

1599
01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:47,400
mean
>> You're looking at $1,000 or more or more

1600
01:56:46,600 --> 01:56:50,280
or several thousand.
>> And they've got And they've got to

1601
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:54,520
They've got to take care of that person.
>> Yeah, they have Yeah, because of the

1602
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:58,520
HIPAA requirements and all of the you
know, you've got to provide care or you

1603
01:56:56,040 --> 01:57:01,320
can't turn HIPAA away. Anything else?
Well, that was my

1604
01:56:59,960 --> 01:57:04,840
» of the things I thought of.
>> Okay.

1605
01:57:02,120 --> 01:57:06,240
Careful what you ask for. That's
>> Thank you.

1606
01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:12,240
» Yeah, Mark.
>> I'm kidding.

1607
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:15,000
» No, he was just making us aware
She

1608
01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:20,720
She went and talked to him before the
meeting and and he is making

1609
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:24,520
some kind of determination that
non-taxpayer funds

1610
01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:31,480
» Okay.
>> So, going through this budget stuff.

1611
01:57:32,720 --> 01:57:39,000
» So, on the wage increase
you guys did not

1612
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:41,920
We you had it in there last year, but we
took it out because we were trying to

1613
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:42,960
get
reduced

1614
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:46,520
» Okay.
>> things down. So, I went ahead and put it

1615
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:52,680
back in
but you can remove it if you choose.

1616
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:52,680
So, that's why it's back there.

1617
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:59,840
» But that has to come from somewhere, so
>> Right.

1618
01:57:58,320 --> 01:58:03,720
» Is that something we want to wait for a
draft to come through with her study?

1619
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:10,880
They'll come They'll They'll probably be
after the auditor, so

1620
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:15,080
So, we'll be doing the audit doing the
budget stuff before the draft.

1621
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:17,840
» Okay.
>> We'll just have to anticipate I don't

1622
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:22,200
think it'll make that big a difference
anyway.

1623
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:26,440
So, the commission and nothing in the
spring

1624
01:58:22,360 --> 01:58:29,960
» I reduced it a little bit just because
I'm looking at

1625
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:32,600
what happened then. I felt like I could
take it off a little bit.

1626
01:58:31,480 --> 01:58:37,840
» Okay.
>> If you want to put the wage the same

1627
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:37,840
» Yeah, so we're

1628
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:42,000
we're down, so
>> That's good.

1629
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:47,880
» Any questions on the commissioner part
of it?

1630
01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:57,240
» This is for general wage increases.
>> That's just for the budget for missions,

1631
01:58:55,440 --> 01:59:02,760
including
all the other stuff you see there, but

1632
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:06,520
advertisements,
fuel,

1633
01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:06,520
uh

1634
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:12,840
lodging, leases, personal services after
the year.

1635
01:59:12,027 --> 01:59:19,560
» [clears throat]
>> Wages, training expense.

1636
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:19,560
We don't have a whole lot.

1637
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:25,320
JSD

1638
01:59:26,640 --> 01:59:32,840
So, that's up
a thousand.

1639
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:32,840
» Yeah.

1640
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:40,680
» I assume a lot of that has to do because
of

1641
01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:46,080
number three.
Maybe insurance costs.

1642
01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:50,320
» Insurance.
>> Uh insurance.

1643
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:50,320
» Utilities, maybe. I don't know.

1644
01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:58,800
» We're planning to replace some fixtures
and do garage door work in

1645
01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:58,800
2027.

1646
02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:16,000
Any questions there or anything?

1647
02:00:20,320 --> 02:00:26,560
» And Jay, I think I asked you sometime
about the utilities.

1648
02:00:24,440 --> 02:00:29,560
When was the uh I mean uh
>> Oh.

1649
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:33,200
Oh.
>> Uh

1650
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:36,080
» Didn't I give that to you already?
>> The evaluation?

1651
02:00:34,120 --> 02:00:38,000
» The evaluations on on utilities.
>> That just came out not long ago, didn't

1652
02:00:37,960 --> 02:00:39,520
it?
>> Yeah, I thought I gave it

1653
02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:42,920
» I'll get it to you.
>> Maybe I didn't. I'm sure I did.

1654
02:00:41,120 --> 02:00:45,040
» I I I haven't seen it.
>> You know?

1655
02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:49,520
» Uh
>> I could have just all We have them.

1656
02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:51,360
» Oh, wait. Okay. I didn't know if that
was later on.

1657
02:00:50,760 --> 02:00:55,240
» 1st.
>> Do you have your season then?

1658
02:00:52,480 --> 02:01:01,413
» Oh, yeah. Um and I think Bruce
I don't know.

1659
02:00:57,440 --> 02:01:05,560
I think we just kept on rolling.
>> [clears throat]

1660
02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:05,560
» Yeah, that's what I was

1661
02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:09,560
» Um
>> I couldn't remember if it came out the

1662
02:01:07,720 --> 02:01:10,720
last year or
>> Well, it's

1663
02:01:10,080 --> 02:01:15,080
» July.
>> When you first put in the position and

1664
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:20,960
Casey, I think we might have missed
getting that for the first time.

1665
02:01:18,040 --> 02:01:20,960
No big deal, though.

1666
02:01:28,280 --> 02:01:36,520
» So, in the clerk's office, yeah, the
increase $4,100.

1667
02:01:34,120 --> 02:01:36,520
» Yeah.

1668
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:45,000
» Is there anything specific on that?
>> No, just

1669
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:47,720
any increases or steps or
>> salaries.

1670
02:01:45,720 --> 02:01:47,720
» Yeah.

1671
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:54,960
» Any questions, sir?

1672
02:02:01,200 --> 02:02:04,840
Election department.

1673
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:17,720
» So, I just want you to know that
not next year, but the year after

1674
02:02:14,040 --> 02:02:24,760
our software for our election system is
going to increase dramastically.

1675
02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:29,320
Our our contract we've had with ES&S has
been in place for a number of years and

1676
02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:32,560
we were informed that that is going to
be expiring.

1677
02:02:31,200 --> 02:02:37,320
So,
we will see some big numbers coming for

1678
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:41,240
that. And the the state covered a lot of
the cost last time, but now they're

1679
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:44,800
going to be
putting it on us.

1680
02:02:42,360 --> 02:02:47,920
» For 27 or for 28?
>> Uh 28. So,

1681
02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:49,680
I just [clears throat] want to kind of
just put it in your mind

1682
02:02:48,880 --> 02:02:54,720
» Sure.
So, no state help?

1683
02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:59,720
» Not Not I don't know if we'll get any at
all.

1684
02:02:55,920 --> 02:02:59,720
If we do, it will be very minimal.

1685
02:03:09,520 --> 02:03:16,920
» And then precinct is just basically
personnel.

1686
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:20,720
The personnel services
on the election in the end.

1687
02:03:25,720 --> 02:03:28,720
Any questions, sir?

1688
02:03:29,240 --> 02:03:32,920
» Yeah, you're good.

Election precinct there

1690
02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:53,000
How do you do this quicker? Pay that
balance.

10,816.

1692
02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:13,800
I got

>> On the treasurer?

1695

This year 381 576.

1697
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:41,760
» That's treasurer.
>> 381 576. Okay, I'm I was having a little

1698
02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:41,760
moment with that.

1699
02:04:52,080 --> 02:05:04,080
» Contracts will actually went down.
Capital outlay went down and personal

1700
02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:04,080
services went up so

1708
02:05:46,760 --> 02:05:51,000
I think it's the way they filled out the
form.

1709
02:05:48,600 --> 02:05:51,000
» Yeah.

1710
02:06:24,280 --> 02:06:27,960
» Any questions on the Chamber?

1711

» I mean we don't have a little Chamber
set thing right now.

1712

» Stephen,
wait.

1713
02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:49,920
In the past, I just want to know that
you were talking about the tourism and

1714
02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:57,120
part of that up to possibly five.
>> In the past, it's some of the chamber

1715
02:06:53,720 --> 02:06:57,120
comes from tourism.

>> I'm sorry, I don't.

1717

chunk if it did, but but I didn't know

if that

» In In the past, I mean, several years
ago,

I didn't know if some of that came from

02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:40,080
the
bed tax.

1727
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:50,040

just started supporting the chamber like

Yeah, I can't remember.
>> Yeah, I don't want to

I don't want to take anything away from
the tourism and you know, what I'm

this year
>> Up?

1736
02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:14,240
» Mhm.

1737
02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:19,240
» That's good to hear.
>> Yeah, that's good to hear.

1738
02:08:17,040 --> 02:08:19,240
» Yeah.

1739
02:08:19,400 --> 02:08:23,520
» It had been down. [clears throat]

3 years ago that it was

» dropped a chunk.
>> You a big chunk.

1742

» Yeah.
>> Okay, Kansas legal Sorry, I'm probably

1743
02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:37,760
way behind you guys, but legal services
500 increase.

1744
02:08:35,360 --> 02:08:39,680
That's probably a
No problem.

1745
02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:42,120
» Yeah.
>> That was tied

1746
02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:47,000
» Yeah.
>> Anybody has any concerns?

1747
02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:47,000
» Yes.

» Oh, we're lacking Kaylee Kemp.
>> He said

1750
02:08:55,600 --> 02:09:00,360
» Yeah, he said that he
>> He doesn't do with him not about that,

1751
02:08:58,640 --> 02:09:02,120
but in the discussion he said he was
about that at that time.

1752
02:09:01,360 --> 02:09:06,640
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

1753

Register of deeds.

1754
02:09:09,280 --> 02:09:15,560
» Yeah, I know she has an little bit of an
increase.

1755
02:09:14,040 --> 02:09:19,160
So, there'll be
some possible changes coming in that

1756
02:09:17,440 --> 02:09:22,400
area at some point.
So.

1757
02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:24,120
» What Which one is that?
>> 11.

1758
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:26,840
» 11.
10,000. [clears throat]

1759
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:29,360
700.
>> Yeah, that's right.

1760
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:36,304
» Which
is not huge in the magnitude.

1761
02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:36,304
All right, good. [snorts]

1762
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:44,520
I would say that
the majority of these increases are

1763
02:09:42,800 --> 02:09:47,000
personal services.
>> Yeah.

1764
02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:56,280
» I might get that.

1765
02:09:57,800 --> 02:10:01,200
So, wellness program.

1766
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:09,560
Yeah, this is wellness for this year.
>> Okay, no. No.

1767
02:10:08,080 --> 02:10:11,640
We need to remove that one. There won't
be one there.

1768
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:17,600
» Okay.
>> We had a department in general, we moved

1769
02:10:14,600 --> 02:10:21,160
it back to its own fund so Amelia could
monitor that. So, that one will come

1770
02:10:19,520 --> 02:10:23,760
off. You You draw a line through that on
your index.

1771
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:25,440
» No.
>> Yeah.

1772
02:10:24,080 --> 02:10:27,995

» The 13th District Court.

Municipal Court.
>> Never good.

1776
02:10:39,120 --> 02:10:42,520
» Writ of habeas corpus.
>> What?

1777
02:10:43,760 --> 02:10:48,840
» District Court you guys really can't do
anything about.

1778
02:10:57,480 --> 02:10:59,960
» Thank you.
>> Thank you, AJ.

1779
02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:01,360
» I gave you all
>> All right.

1780
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:05,920
» 25 and
>> 26. Thank you.

1781
02:11:02,920 --> 02:11:05,920
» Now, you can see

1782
02:11:09,400 --> 02:11:14,400
» So, it went up about 23 million.
>> Yep.

1783
02:11:16,920 --> 02:11:19,400
Nothing there.

1784
02:11:32,960 --> 02:11:35,240
Yeah.

1785
02:11:35,280 --> 02:11:39,320
» So, scratch 12 and
>> Yeah.

1786
02:11:43,080 --> 02:11:47,000
» District Court.
Mhm.

1787
02:11:50,520 --> 02:11:57,280
So, District Court
>> went up $47.

1788
02:11:54,840 --> 02:11:59,440
» History $47.
Yeah.

1789
02:12:00,320 --> 02:12:03,400
» That's non-qualifiable.

1790
02:12:04,720 --> 02:12:07,680
I don't have any more.

1791
02:12:10,200 --> 02:12:12,720
What is this?

1792
02:12:13,120 --> 02:12:15,440
Mhm.

1793
02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:21,240
» Okay.

1794
02:12:26,280 --> 02:12:34,080
» So this wing, this chapter you have
asphalt, you have

1795
02:12:31,760 --> 02:12:39,680
equipment.
There's three pages.

1796
02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:44,200
But there's like two budgets.
And this is that extra

1797
02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:47,040
department in general that burden bridge
uses for

1798
02:12:49,200 --> 02:12:57,200
» Asphalt unchanged.
Oh, I guess that is.

1799
02:12:53,880 --> 02:12:57,200
Two and a half million.

1800
02:12:58,840 --> 02:13:02,960
Equipment maintenance 50,000.

1801
02:13:20,720 --> 02:13:28,120
It'll be okay with the
asphalt and equipment.

1802
02:13:25,480 --> 02:13:32,320
I wouldn't send for you crazy here.
We're not saying these are set in stone

1803
02:13:30,040 --> 02:13:34,520
that we're okay with. We're just looking
at them. We're looking at them right

1804
02:13:33,720 --> 02:13:37,800
now.
We have any questions or whatever. This

1805
02:13:36,480 --> 02:13:40,520
is the time that we're going to have
some cuz everything seems to be going

1806
02:13:39,760 --> 02:13:43,400
up.
>> Yeah.

1807
02:13:40,920 --> 02:13:47,880
» And we're going to have some questions
or I'm going to have some questions on

1808
02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:50,360
» I'm keeping everything in mind.
But the cost of doing business is not a

1809
02:13:49,360 --> 02:13:52,520
problem.
I mean, D, I know that.

1810
02:13:51,920 --> 02:13:56,480
» Well, I'm just saying
>> But I'm saying also we took a butt

1811
02:13:54,400 --> 02:13:58,840
kicking with the people about their
increased prices.

1812
02:13:57,840 --> 02:14:02,480
» Of their taxes.
>> I know that, but I'm just saying that

1813
02:14:00,200 --> 02:14:05,200
the cost of cost of doing business
continues to

1814
02:14:03,040 --> 02:14:09,600
» I understand that. I'm not a dummy.
>> I know that, Todd. I didn't say that.

1815
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:16,760
» So well, basically, if we have any
questions now on anything, then we'll go

1816
02:14:14,440 --> 02:14:21,800
ahead and go back. Well, bring bring
them in here before the auditor comes on

1817
02:14:19,480 --> 02:14:25,880
the 13th of July.
Try to get our answers

1818
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:29,320
any questions we have answered before
then.

1819
02:14:27,280 --> 02:14:33,200
And then then when we work with them,
then we'll have to figure out

1820
02:14:31,680 --> 02:14:36,800
Hopefully hopefully we don't have to
work too hard.

1821
02:14:34,200 --> 02:14:40,560
» And and it actually would be helpful if
there's one you have a question on now,

1822
02:14:38,920 --> 02:14:46,080
I can mark it
so we can go back to it. That would be

1823
02:14:42,320 --> 02:14:51,040
helpful because otherwise we're just
you're kind of telling me

1824
02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:54,240
okay on this one, okay on this one.
Doesn't mean it's set in stone cuz it's

1825
02:14:52,520 --> 02:14:55,840
not set in stone until the auditor gets
here, but

1826
02:14:54,800 --> 02:14:59,440
» I see what you're saying.
>> It would be helpful to say, "Ah, let's

1827
02:14:57,360 --> 02:15:01,200
call that in later." And then I'll mark
it.

1828
02:15:00,720 --> 02:15:04,680
» Okay.
>> So.

1829
02:15:02,720 --> 02:15:08,760
» Okay, courthouse budget.
>> Okay.

1830
02:15:06,600 --> 02:15:13,520
So, last year
I budgeted what I budgeted because we

1831
02:15:11,040 --> 02:15:17,480
were going to be paying for utilities
and all kinds of things for the jail

1832
02:15:16,000 --> 02:15:22,640
or the law enforcement center out of
this.

1833
02:15:18,920 --> 02:15:27,400
And based on where we're at as of May
um is how I came up with my number for

1834
02:15:25,080 --> 02:15:31,040
2027.
Um

1835
02:15:28,560 --> 02:15:33,440
so that's that's how I came up with
that.

1836
02:15:34,720 --> 02:15:42,520
» So
So, the 82,000 over increase

1837
02:15:40,040 --> 02:15:42,520
» Yeah.

1838
02:15:50,640 --> 02:15:57,320
» When you said paying for the jail
>> Right. We Yeah, cuz see, we started with

1839
02:15:55,000 --> 02:16:01,320
the brand new building
and we had no history on how much it's

1840
02:15:59,360 --> 02:16:04,960
going to cost or anything to run.
>> Mhm.

1841
02:16:02,080 --> 02:16:09,160
» So, we budgeted what we budgeted and
based on how we've been running for the

1842
02:16:07,320 --> 02:16:13,240
past 5 months
is I what I projected for the rest of

1843
02:16:11,520 --> 02:16:16,920
this year then to come up with a number
for 2027.

1844
02:16:15,800 --> 02:16:20,080
» Got you.
>> I'm at 15.

1845
02:16:22,400 --> 02:16:25,360
» Current house general.

1846
02:16:25,440 --> 02:16:32,679
» Mine I don't have any county support on
this that the 82,000.

1847
02:16:30,120 --> 02:16:35,639
» No, no. It's the 1.8.
>> 1.8?

1848
02:16:33,719 --> 02:16:38,960
» Yeah, it's the difference between last
year and this year's budget.

1849
02:16:41,599 --> 02:16:45,800
» Last year was a guess and this is

1850
02:16:49,864 --> 02:16:55,800
» [clears throat]
>> four months for the different ones.

1851
02:17:02,360 --> 02:17:10,880
I guess basically that one.
It is what it is, I guess.

1852
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:14,519
Cuz we didn't know last year for sure.
>> Yeah, cuz last year was an unknown.

1853
02:17:19,120 --> 02:17:21,880
» Wellness

1854
02:17:22,200 --> 02:17:25,000
and
>> and we gained

1855
02:17:23,559 --> 02:17:27,400
» Did it actually go down?
>> Mhm.

1856
02:17:35,880 --> 02:17:39,960
» Angie, back up 15 there.
>> Mhm.

1857
02:17:39,080 --> 02:17:42,480
» What else department?
>> Yep.

1858
02:17:40,400 --> 02:17:47,400
» On that back page it's got
insurance / loans $40,000.

1859
02:17:48,960 --> 02:17:52,599
Down there about halfway.
>> Mhm.

1860
02:17:53,000 --> 02:18:01,200
» Is that actually a loan payment?
>> I think that's what we put in there

1861
02:17:57,840 --> 02:18:01,200
for last year's budget.

1862
02:18:01,400 --> 02:18:03,760
Oh.

1863
02:18:05,400 --> 02:18:10,719
» Kind of goes back to what Tom mentioned
a little bit about how much has been

1864
02:18:08,800 --> 02:18:13,760
received for the bond team which is
going to be due for the jail.

1865
02:18:12,120 --> 02:18:17,719
» Right. Right.
>> So.

1866
02:18:15,280 --> 02:18:22,200
» And these bonds for the jail and the
courthouse were tied together or were

1867
02:18:19,840 --> 02:18:26,519
they separate?
>> No. Uh the bonds for the jail should be

1868
02:18:25,080 --> 02:18:28,719
being paid out of the
>> Sheriff's office.

1869
02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:33,355
» Sheriff's jail, yeah.
>> But they were issued as separate bonds

1870
02:18:30,880 --> 02:18:35,280
or is it one? No, it's
>> [laughter]

1871
02:18:34,280 --> 02:18:37,480
» Yeah, it's [clears throat] one.
>> It's just the project that's in two

1872
02:18:36,920 --> 02:18:39,760
phases.
>> Okay.

1873
02:18:41,480 --> 02:18:46,280
» Okay, that's what I was questioning if
that 40 or so of bond for the jail or

1874
02:18:44,960 --> 02:18:52,120
» No, cuz that's going to be like a
million dollars.

1875
02:18:48,160 --> 02:18:56,880
» And I had a question I asked Richard um
a month or two ago

1876
02:18:54,679 --> 02:19:00,440
and I was concerned about the
shortage of maybe revenue from the from

1877
02:18:59,760 --> 02:19:03,679
the
inmates

1878
02:19:01,920 --> 02:19:09,040
and he said the amount of interest that
was made on investments is

1879
02:19:07,160 --> 02:19:11,840
pretty good. So, I mean we ought to have
some kind of cushion there. So, that's

1880
02:19:10,880 --> 02:19:14,000
going to help out.
>> Yeah.

1881
02:19:14,280 --> 02:19:21,080
» It's good news.
That's not to say in the future things I

1882
02:19:19,120 --> 02:19:22,920
mean they might start
>> creating revenue.

1883
02:19:22,480 --> 02:19:25,200
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

1884
02:19:23,599 --> 02:19:30,679
» But I don't know where we stand for sure
on the on the jail at the moment until

1885
02:19:26,960 --> 02:19:33,960
we get some better figures.
>> I like what Tom mentioned earlier even

1886
02:19:32,360 --> 02:19:37,200
though
deal with the the meals is going to be

1887
02:19:36,559 --> 02:19:39,639
» Yeah, but
>> make a fair amount.

1888
02:19:38,160 --> 02:19:40,920
» I'm just curious how that's all going to
shake out.

1889
02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:43,599
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

1890
02:19:41,559 --> 02:19:46,599
» Yeah.
>> Should make a

1891
02:19:44,800 --> 02:19:50,040
» But well, speaking of this, I don't know
if you need you guys to see the Anderson

1892
02:19:48,240 --> 02:19:53,440
County
paper. I don't know what it's called.

1893
02:19:52,080 --> 02:19:57,080
The commissioner [clears throat] stepped
up and said either close the jail

1894
02:19:55,400 --> 02:20:00,680
» Fill it or sell it.
>> Yeah. so

1895
02:19:58,760 --> 02:20:04,760
if they shut it down, we're going to get
some people there, but they were

1896
02:20:02,600 --> 02:20:07,120
complaining about all the new
jails in the area.

1897
02:20:06,360 --> 02:20:10,720
» I read that.
>> They were taking people in there for

1898
02:20:09,160 --> 02:20:13,320
places like that before.
>> Yeah.

1899
02:20:11,760 --> 02:20:15,920
Is that a new jail over there?
>> Mhm.

1900
02:20:13,560 --> 02:20:17,920
» No, they refurbished there.
>> just refurbished it.

1901
02:20:16,960 --> 02:20:20,800
» Well, it's
it's been like 10 or 15 years, I think,

1902
02:20:20,080 --> 02:20:24,320
but they
>> Okay. I couldn't remember. There's so

1903
02:20:22,440 --> 02:20:26,440
many There's a lot There's a There's a
lot of new jails

1904
02:20:25,040 --> 02:20:29,480
» going up around, but
>> Yeah, but then they need some more.

1905
02:20:28,637 --> 02:20:32,680
» [laughter]
>> Oh, that's bad.

1906
02:20:31,120 --> 02:20:34,800
But But But they were counting on
inmates to help.

1907
02:20:33,400 --> 02:20:38,680
» Yeah, that's right. That's right.
>> And now I don't think there's not as

1908
02:20:36,080 --> 02:20:38,680
many, so

1909
02:20:39,040 --> 02:20:42,240
is my understanding, anyway.

1910
02:20:42,320 --> 02:20:46,760
So, general capital outlay

1911
02:20:47,000 --> 02:20:54,080
at 50,000.
>> Which way do you want?

1912
02:20:50,400 --> 02:20:54,080
» Uh Beach Haven, 17.

1913
02:20:54,680 --> 02:20:57,920
Is there a reason going up 50,000 on
that?

1914
02:20:57,480 --> 02:21:00,320
» Um
>> Just Just

1915
02:21:03,080 --> 02:21:05,680
» I'm not

1916
02:21:06,760 --> 02:21:12,720
sure.
>> That just That just goes into the

1917
02:21:10,480 --> 02:21:17,080
capital improvement fund.
>> No, it's in the general. So, like if

1918
02:21:14,200 --> 02:21:20,720
anything major to the building happens,
that's where we pay generally out of the

1919
02:21:18,840 --> 02:21:22,960
general fund capital outlay.
>> Okay.

1920
02:21:21,240 --> 02:21:26,480
» You put an asterisk by that one.
>> Okay.

1921
02:21:24,160 --> 02:21:30,080
I'll put an asterisk
I'll go back and review that one.

1922
02:21:31,800 --> 02:21:38,440
» I guess we'll
If it's going in that fund though, then

1923
02:21:36,120 --> 02:21:40,680
at least we're not committing to spend
it if that's right.

1924
02:21:39,160 --> 02:21:42,520
» Right. Right. No.
>> It's only 50,000, too.

1925
02:21:42,120 --> 02:21:46,640
» Yeah.
>> Cuz that fund is we depleted in the

1926
02:21:44,960 --> 02:21:50,000
» Is that fund that
We depleted it somewhat.

1927
02:21:47,640 --> 02:21:52,480
» Yeah. Right. Right.
>> Oh, yeah, it is. That's right.

1928
02:21:51,960 --> 02:21:55,720
» What?
>> you for reminding me, Steve.

1929
02:21:54,320 --> 02:22:00,280
So,
we [clears throat] used to budget like a

1930
02:21:56,800 --> 02:22:03,880
million something in this one, 1.25.
>> For capital outlay, and then we would

1931
02:22:02,160 --> 02:22:06,840
transfer out to the capital improvement
plan.

1932
02:22:05,120 --> 02:22:11,000
And I thought I would maybe increase it
a little because you still need to fund

1933
02:22:08,640 --> 02:22:13,920
that plan. We've got to keep that that
plan funded.

1934
02:22:12,400 --> 02:22:15,000
» Because that particular one has been
deleted.

1935
02:22:14,560 --> 02:22:18,240
» Yes.
>> So,

1936
02:22:15,720 --> 02:22:20,640
» Yeah. We didn't have it in 2025. You
guys took it completely out because we

1937
02:22:20,080 --> 02:22:25,560
have
>> trying to keep things down.

1938
02:22:22,520 --> 02:22:28,440
And then last year we put 750, and I
thought, "Well, maybe I'll just bump it

1939
02:22:26,720 --> 02:22:32,920
up a little bit." And then that's what I
>> are we doing in it as of now?

1940
02:22:31,040 --> 02:22:35,880
» As of the capital improvement plan?
We're we're going to fall short if we

1941
02:22:34,720 --> 02:22:40,200
don't
over the next few years keep trying to

1942
02:22:37,760 --> 02:22:44,440
put more money in there. Yeah, I've got
I can pull that plan up.

1943
02:22:41,600 --> 02:22:46,880
» We're pretty close then.
>> Yeah.

1944
02:22:44,879 --> 02:22:53,120
» [clears throat]
>> Yeah. And I I've kind of planned it out

1945
02:22:49,760 --> 02:22:56,840
for 7 years instead of the five because
I like to pull it up a little bit more

1946
02:22:55,520 --> 02:22:59,800
looking at that plan.
>> Mhm.

1947
02:22:58,800 --> 02:23:02,200
» I don't know.
I got I can pull it up here.

1948
02:23:00,880 --> 02:23:05,640
» Do you have this
>> fund sheet? Did you have that still?

1949
02:23:04,528 --> 02:23:08,880
» [clears throat]
>> Mhm.

1950
02:23:06,560 --> 02:23:11,600
» What's what in this one again?
>> I haven't gotten to

1951
02:23:09,880 --> 02:23:15,880
» 5.7
or something.

1952
02:23:13,480 --> 02:23:15,880
» Yeah, there's

1953
02:23:17,920 --> 02:23:22,840
5.7
and

1954
02:23:27,720 --> 02:23:31,360
that'll fund it for

1955
02:23:43,560 --> 02:23:51,840
still about 2028. That's 3 years.
>> That's 5.7.

1956
02:23:52,120 --> 02:23:57,640
» So, we really need to focus on
getting some money in there.

1957
02:23:57,960 --> 02:24:01,960
So, we're not even funded for 5 years
right now.

1958
02:24:07,080 --> 02:24:11,280
» Okay, that's 19

1959
02:24:14,640 --> 02:24:21,520
16
Oh, 18. It was unchanged. Sorry.

1960
02:24:24,080 --> 02:24:27,720
Tech training equipment.

1961
02:24:29,960 --> 02:24:37,120
» Next one's Conroy 8. Conroy 80.
>> Oh, that's what it is. That's what it

1962
02:24:35,080 --> 02:24:37,120
is.

1963
02:24:50,200 --> 02:24:53,960
Is this Conroy Associates

1964
02:24:54,800 --> 02:25:01,760
They've got somebody else in there now
that's

1965
02:24:58,160 --> 02:25:01,760
that's managing but he's still

1966
02:25:01,880 --> 02:25:08,520
He just got He's still still uh He had
that all in his own.

1967
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:13,480
God, I think it's still ongoing.
>> Okay.

1968
02:25:09,200 --> 02:25:13,480
» That There's new There's new uh

1969
02:25:15,320 --> 02:25:18,840
Conroy was
acting

1970
02:25:18,120 --> 02:25:23,040
uh [clears throat]
director there.

1971
02:25:20,600 --> 02:25:29,880
He's still the treasurer but they've got
someone else in there that's that's

1972
02:25:25,760 --> 02:25:32,080
that's that's acting in there.
Uh

1973
02:25:42,280 --> 02:25:46,800
» When you do this, they're requesting the
same as last year.

1974
02:25:45,280 --> 02:25:52,400
» They're coming back to you guys, yeah.
>> Yes, that's what I'm

1975
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:52,400
interpreting so far.

1976
02:25:54,176 --> 02:25:56,195
» [clears throat]

1977
02:25:57,360 --> 02:26:02,920
» Without saying too much, I think that
>> We're still playing some catch-up.

1978
02:26:01,880 --> 02:26:06,160
» It's in the process.
>> It's in the process, so

1979
02:26:04,960 --> 02:26:11,040
I guess what I'm saying is that that
budget appears to be on down here.

1980
02:26:11,320 --> 02:26:17,120
» Correct. I mean, it's
Or that's my feeling on it.

1981
02:26:18,560 --> 02:26:21,240
» So

1982
02:26:21,480 --> 02:26:27,080
So there's several different requests
within this, right? I mean, there's one

1983
02:26:25,240 --> 02:26:32,680
for each each of the senior centers,
there's one for East Central

1984
02:26:30,080 --> 02:26:36,840
Kansas area aging senior on aging.
>> Right. They

1985
02:26:34,760 --> 02:26:40,720
The Council on the Aging
take the budget request from the

1986
02:26:38,320 --> 02:26:44,000
different entities, and then they
present that as

1987
02:26:43,080 --> 02:26:46,920
» That one sheet on
>> That one sheet on the back, and then

1988
02:26:45,640 --> 02:26:50,880
they disperse that and then they
disperse that out to

1989
02:26:49,560 --> 02:26:54,000
» Each each individual
>> Each individual.

1990
02:26:52,680 --> 02:26:55,520
Isn't that right,
Andy?

1991
02:26:54,600 --> 02:26:59,400
» Yes.
>> The aging

1992
02:26:57,160 --> 02:27:02,040
Council on the Aging is the
main entity, and then they sub

1993
02:27:01,880 --> 02:27:10,000
They
>> Well, we pay them that 50,500.

1994
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:13,600
And then we pay Burlington
>> Right. Right. Right.

1995
02:27:15,720 --> 02:27:21,280
» So which has them all totaled, the
Central Kansas or is there something

1996
02:27:19,160 --> 02:27:25,960
else that has them totaled together?
>> Uh it's the second page.

1997
02:27:24,520 --> 02:27:28,720
It's the second where she totaled all
the

1998
02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:33,960
cities.
And then

1999
02:27:30,240 --> 02:27:39,520
East Central is separate, so it's 50,500
and then the 68,455, which is a total of

2000
02:27:36,520 --> 02:27:39,520
118,955.

2001
02:27:39,560 --> 02:27:43,360
» And
I mean maybe I'm wrong.

2002
02:27:57,960 --> 02:28:01,000
Oh, 11.

2003
02:28:07,840 --> 02:28:12,160
17
100,000

2004
02:28:12,920 --> 02:28:20,080
80,000
>> So, on the very front page is

2005
02:28:17,320 --> 02:28:23,520
uh has my name and Sewer Genie.
And the second page shows county support

2006
02:28:22,080 --> 02:28:25,720
request.
>> Right.

2007
02:28:24,360 --> 02:28:28,560
» And that's what we're looking at. Do you
not have that?

2008
02:28:28,840 --> 02:28:33,600
» Yeah, there's a lot of pages in there.
>> I know, cuz she put them all in there.

2009
02:28:31,920 --> 02:28:36,440
» That's the only one I've got.
>> That's what?

2010
02:28:34,160 --> 02:28:39,440
» That's total money into the AG. It's not
on there.

2011
02:28:37,120 --> 02:28:42,720
» No, that's that's just for the city.
>> Senior centers.

2012
02:28:40,880 --> 02:28:47,280
» So, that's 68,055,
exactly.

2013
02:28:43,840 --> 02:28:53,720
And then the last four pages
in that packet is the Council on Aging

2014
02:28:50,360 --> 02:28:53,720
and Nutrition.

2015
02:28:56,960 --> 02:29:06,120
One's for 25,005 and one's for 25,000.
>> Okay.

2016
02:29:01,640 --> 02:29:09,280
» And we gave the 50,500 to Ottawa.
The East Central Aging. They they

2017
02:29:08,160 --> 02:29:11,520
distribute the food.
>> Right. They distribute

2018
02:29:10,240 --> 02:29:14,120
» And there was an issue with the food a
long time ago, so that's why it got

2019
02:29:13,280 --> 02:29:16,680
separated. [clears throat]
>> I see.

2020
02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:18,800
Is this a Meals on Wheels program?
>> Yes.

2021
02:29:17,160 --> 02:29:20,760
» Yes, and then the
uh

2022
02:29:19,840 --> 02:29:26,080
what they
uh they have a different uh

2023
02:29:22,800 --> 02:29:28,960
sites in the county and they'll pick up
provide meals

2024
02:29:27,760 --> 02:29:34,080
this uh
on specific days.

2025
02:29:31,240 --> 02:29:37,440
So, as far as the East Central Kansas
Area Agency

2026
02:29:43,680 --> 02:29:51,560
Those budgets are unchanged from last
year, right? The nutrition and the

2027
02:29:49,120 --> 02:29:55,880
» It looks like they did the same for us
these two years.

2028
02:29:53,360 --> 02:30:00,160
Which surprising cost of groceries in
there.

2029
02:29:56,600 --> 02:30:00,160
» But but looking at the

2030
02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:07,840
looking at the individual senior
centers, I was

2031
02:30:05,200 --> 02:30:12,680
I'm having trouble
I think there's some increases in there.

2032
02:30:12,760 --> 02:30:16,960
Minor increases if there are any.

2033
02:30:19,960 --> 02:30:24,200
Nearway, they increased 1,000.

2034
02:30:26,880 --> 02:30:30,480
Waverly increased

2035
02:30:31,080 --> 02:30:35,440
13 to 1400.
>> Yep.

2036
02:30:46,800 --> 02:30:52,600
» And they all seem to be
modest increases anyway.

2037
02:30:58,920 --> 02:31:01,120
» Yep.

2038
02:31:18,320 --> 02:31:21,760

>> Yeah.

2041

» It went up to $1,000.
>> $1,000?

2042
02:31:47,080 --> 02:31:53,240
» $1,300 it was selling
>> Yeah.

2043
02:31:49,720 --> 02:31:53,240
» About $1,300 selling it?

2044
02:31:53,320 --> 02:31:59,480
And utilities is the same?
>> Um whatever it was the subject of the

2045
02:31:57,480 --> 02:32:01,720
email that said
>> Okay.

2046
02:32:02,080 --> 02:32:08,520
And utilities looks like it's insurance
and repairs and maintenance, exactly?

2047
02:32:06,880 --> 02:32:11,200
» Yeah.
>> It's probably across the board that

2048
02:32:10,360 --> 02:32:13,480
would mean
>> Yeah.

2049
02:32:13,640 --> 02:32:20,920
» And whatever it was
that $1,300

2050
02:32:18,200 --> 02:32:20,920
increase.

2051
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:28,000
Utilities.

2052
02:32:31,800 --> 02:32:35,560
Do you want to discuss the interest?
>> Yeah.

2053
02:32:40,360 --> 02:32:44,280
» Any questions on any of those?

2054
02:32:53,760 --> 02:32:59,120
And then you total these insurance and
rent.

2055
02:32:56,120 --> 02:33:00,920
» I don't have utilities yet.
Are you tracking that? Are you tracking

2056
02:33:00,400 --> 02:33:04,680
that now?
>> As soon as you

2057
02:33:01,600 --> 02:33:04,680
» Oh, yeah. Okay.

2058
02:33:08,400 --> 02:33:11,840

Also, we don't have cost yet.

>> Uh I emailed but I hadn't heard anything

2062
02:33:27,360 --> 02:33:34,400
so I'm going to
reach out, call, or something.

She had called me last week. County
Resource Council.

02:33:52,840 --> 02:33:55,760
You don't have anything from them on
this.

2068
02:33:54,400 --> 02:34:00,000
» Nope.
I got to find out who I got to contact

2070
02:34:01,320 --> 02:34:05,840
» I found out seven months ago from the
previous

Which one was that one?
>> County

originally talked about Tasha. We don't

2073
02:34:17,800 --> 02:34:25,880

been trying to find out who to contact

2074
02:34:22,040 --> 02:34:25,880
on the County Resource Council.

2075
02:34:26,560 --> 02:34:31,960
I don't know if Janet Waltmire's a
contact on that or not.

2076

Waltmire's

2077

office but she wasn't here the other day
so

2078
02:34:38,360 --> 02:34:42,720
she might be here today.
>> She's not here today. [clears throat] I

2079
02:34:41,240 --> 02:34:44,760
don't think they do anything
anymore but

Um so, you don't have utilities

Your reports.

This is the same. Same as the last one.

2097
02:35:44,480 --> 02:35:49,320
need that for me.
>> You adjusted to $1?

Uh Council for the Arts.

It's cuz it looks like they lost their
longevity pay.

» You went from 2,400

02:36:24,680 --> 02:36:27,520
» Yeah, I believe it.

2106

» Well, just
adding some in there now, so

2107
02:36:36,240 --> 02:36:40,960
and they don't have a new one spinning
around there after

2108
02:36:38,600 --> 02:36:40,960
» Right.

2109
02:36:42,040 --> 02:36:47,560
» Council for the Arts had an increase
3,000.

2110

» Great.
>> Yeah.

2111

» 6

Professional expenses bringing
performers, events, and activities to

2113
02:36:59,360 --> 02:37:05,960
the communities
received an increase in charges due to

as has the funding awarded.
Council for the elders, your

2119
02:37:27,200 --> 02:37:32,320
consideration of switches has been very
much appreciated.

2120
02:37:54,440 --> 02:37:59,560
Any questions,

dollars.
>> Okay.

2125
02:39:30,040 --> 02:39:34,840
» It's like most of those are personal
services.

2126
02:39:37,360 --> 02:39:42,440
What's the budget for personal services?
Is it 3%?

2127
02:39:43,560 --> 02:39:48,120
» How much for this year?
>> Yeah.

2128

2130
02:39:52,960 --> 02:40:00,640
letter went out for budgeting for
for next year?

2131
02:39:58,360 --> 02:40:03,920
Wasn't there something in the letter?
>> 3.5%?

2132
02:40:01,720 --> 02:40:08,040
» What did it say? 3.5?
>> 3 or 3.5

2133
02:40:05,800 --> 02:40:11,640
One of the two, not both.
>> I know that everybody has an increase in

2134
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:14,400
personal services and I can't hardly
remember.

02:40:12,160 --> 02:40:14,400
» Yeah.

2136
02:40:14,440 --> 02:40:18,600
» What was told?
>> Yes.

2137
02:40:17,040 --> 02:40:20,840
» So all the students will see increases
this year.

2138
02:40:29,080 --> 02:40:35,040
Did we uh have to pay anything back from
that vehicle on the highway that was

2139
02:40:32,720 --> 02:40:35,040
totaled?

2140
02:40:36,800 --> 02:40:43,240
» I don't know.
>> Okay, thank you.

2141
02:40:40,240 --> 02:40:43,240
» I can find out.

2142
02:40:44,080 --> 02:40:50,120
» You know that was talked about paying
for that vehicle and then getting

2143
02:40:47,400 --> 02:40:50,120
reimbursed.

2144
02:43:06,468 --> 02:43:12,000
» [snorts and clears throat]
>> Do you want me to read it again?

2145
02:43:09,000 --> 02:43:18,400
» Vehicle repairs and maintenance.
And then we got vehicle expenses.

2146
02:43:15,840 --> 02:43:21,200
And then we've also got vehicle tires
and parts.

2147
02:43:28,440 --> 02:43:33,720
» Well,
so when we sat when we had to break out

2148
02:43:31,760 --> 02:43:37,360
of these individual line items like
this,

2149
02:43:34,680 --> 02:43:42,120
we tried to make line items that would
fit for everyone.

2150
02:43:39,800 --> 02:43:45,600
And
then we had departments come back and

2151
02:43:43,680 --> 02:43:50,440
say they wanted it named something else
or wanted it to be something else that

2152
02:43:47,720 --> 02:43:53,960
they needed to see things listed out.
So, that's why you're going to see some

2153
02:43:52,000 --> 02:43:59,040
of that.
>> Just cuz we need it. Well, there's one

2154
02:43:56,160 --> 02:44:02,560
that says vehicle expenses $285,000. We
got several others that seem to be

2155
02:44:00,240 --> 02:44:09,120
redundant and that's that's an increase
of $285,000 plus another $40,000 plus

2156
02:44:05,840 --> 02:44:09,120
another $85,000.

2157
02:44:09,520 --> 02:44:12,960
» I don't disagree, but

2158
02:44:28,120 --> 02:44:35,080
» And commodities, is that groceries?
>> Um

2159
02:44:33,000 --> 02:44:40,600
typically it's
anything you can touch.

2160
02:44:37,600 --> 02:44:45,080
So, office chairs,
uh office supplies,

2161
02:44:42,640 --> 02:44:48,840
things like that.
What commodities generally are.

2162
02:44:52,720 --> 02:44:55,080
» 31

2163
02:45:17,240 --> 02:45:21,040
» What's the difference between the two

2164
02:45:21,560 --> 02:45:27,040
Uh
expenses.

2165
02:45:24,880 --> 02:45:29,600
» I got now. I have to ask them
what they

2166
02:45:28,680 --> 02:45:32,280
I have to ask them if they have
something else.

2167
02:45:32,440 --> 02:45:39,800
Different fuel usage, I don't know.
I would have to ask them.

2168
02:45:42,040 --> 02:45:48,560
I guess they have like road fuel in one
and something else on another, I don't

2169
02:45:46,280 --> 02:45:48,560
know.

2170
02:45:52,560 --> 02:46:00,080
I guess they got a bunch too.
Question, so

2171
02:45:57,000 --> 02:46:00,080
» something this afternoon?

2172
02:46:11,440 --> 02:46:18,920
» Probably vehicle expenses, purchasing a
vehicle and capital outlay.

2173
02:46:16,600 --> 02:46:24,800
That's capital outlay.
And then you have vehicle fuel.

2174
02:46:21,920 --> 02:46:24,800
And then commodities

2175
02:46:25,120 --> 02:46:31,160
Repairs and maintenance and I have
listed as

2176
02:46:27,920 --> 02:46:31,160
and contractual and then

2177
02:46:39,000 --> 02:46:45,760
» And then the cruiser
There's a fuel here expense of 25,000.

2178
02:46:43,880 --> 02:46:49,800
And then down here is fuel expense of
140,000.

2179
02:46:47,560 --> 02:46:49,800

» Extradition is four times as high.
>> How do you compare that? It's like when

2182
02:48:21,600 --> 02:48:27,520
you need
other than obtaining extra items out of

2183
02:48:25,560 --> 02:48:30,440
our own municipality that we're bringing
in

2184
02:48:27,800 --> 02:48:30,440
» I don't know.

2185
02:48:31,400 --> 02:48:35,640
» Pick them up in other states, bring them
back.

So,
the transport secure transport expense.

2187
02:48:38,400 --> 02:48:44,240

that much of an increase.

» What was the

2189
02:48:45,200 --> 02:48:49,800
» From 5,000 to 20,000.
>> 15,000.

2190
02:48:50,320 --> 02:48:55,200
» I think that probably has to do with the
number of people

2191
02:48:53,840 --> 02:48:58,360
over the last
couple years who have been

2192
02:48:57,360 --> 02:49:02,640

02:49:15,440 --> 02:49:20,400
remembering.
We've gone to Vermont, we've gone to

2197
02:49:18,400 --> 02:49:22,960
California.
It's a

2198
02:49:21,560 --> 02:49:25,960
» Right.
>> It just

2199
02:49:23,880 --> 02:49:30,160
depends on on the year. I don't know how
you can

2200
02:49:27,120 --> 02:49:30,160
truly project that.

2201
02:49:31,360 --> 02:49:39,240
And then that's on the back end, once
somebody is

2202
02:49:35,080 --> 02:49:44,520
convicted, I request reimbursement
for the extradition costs, but

2203
02:49:42,160 --> 02:49:47,560
» It's like transferring them to
federal or state prison then or

2204
02:49:45,960 --> 02:49:52,080
something.
>> Um no, they

2205
02:49:49,360 --> 02:49:56,280
Let's say somebody has a criminal
charge, they leave the jurisdiction

2206
02:49:54,560 --> 02:49:59,777
before their court date,
then it doesn't just go away. They end

2207
02:49:58,560 --> 02:50:02,120
up having to
>> [clears throat]

2208
02:50:00,400 --> 02:50:05,240
» come back and
and face responsibility at some point.

2209
02:50:05,018 --> 02:50:08,920
» [clears throat]
>> It has to be

2210
02:50:06,640 --> 02:50:15,280
to extradite out of state, it has to be
a felony offense. So,

2211
02:50:11,400 --> 02:50:19,920
certain felony offenses and depending on
what it is and what I know about the

2212
02:50:16,960 --> 02:50:24,760
individual, I'll request either
Kansas and surrounding or nationwide

2213
02:50:22,040 --> 02:50:24,760
extradition.

2214
02:50:26,320 --> 02:50:32,160
» So, you get reimbursement on some of
that, is that right?

2215
02:50:29,760 --> 02:50:34,640
Oh, you request reimbursement.
>> I request reimbursement.

2216
02:50:33,560 --> 02:50:38,720
» Okay.
Okay.

2217
02:50:35,520 --> 02:50:38,720
Does it always come through?

2218
02:50:38,760 --> 02:50:46,720
» Not always. I mean, it ends up being a
a cost at times that's turned over to

2219
02:50:44,520 --> 02:50:51,440
collections and then the the court
system has their own collection system.

2220
02:51:03,800 --> 02:51:11,200
I think it would depend on a given year.
Like one year it might be low.

2221
02:51:08,600 --> 02:51:15,600
A good example would be juvenile defense
attorney.

2222
02:51:12,920 --> 02:51:22,800
I usually ask for $10,000
and in some years it's

2223
02:51:18,400 --> 02:51:28,320
well below that and 2 years ago it was
40 some thousand and

2224
02:51:25,760 --> 02:51:33,000
it had to be that based on the type of
offense and level of offense that we

2225
02:51:30,280 --> 02:51:33,000
were dealing with.

2226
02:52:30,600 --> 02:52:35,120
» And your reduced commodities would
consist of

2227
02:52:33,520 --> 02:52:38,960
» Anything that you could physically
touch. Yeah.

2228
02:52:36,480 --> 02:52:42,040
So, I'll just under
Oh, under

2229
02:52:43,680 --> 02:52:49,760
number is, but
>> There's that under number like $1,000 or

2230
02:52:47,960 --> 02:52:52,160
something and then it goes to capital
outlay.

2231
02:52:50,320 --> 02:52:53,354
» Okay. And that would be considered a
large

2232
02:52:52,840 --> 02:52:55,374
» Okay.

Yeah.

Thank you for the question. Can I come
back to

>> Crayons.

Total operating expenses.
Okay.

02:56:43,840 --> 02:56:46,040
Yes.

2250
02:56:48,920 --> 02:56:55,680
And then we have assets.
And some land assets.

And did she say something about wanting
to buy a new van or something that she

2252
02:56:59,720 --> 02:57:05,240
was looking for?
Well, they they're always rotating and

it can't all just stay on the black bus

She's got a 25,000 proposed increase
this year.

2256
02:57:14,960 --> 02:57:22,000
» Yeah.
>> So, in her letter it says uh

2257
02:57:20,040 --> 02:57:26,640
their request uh
they're requesting an approximate 9%

2258
02:57:23,960 --> 02:57:28,600
increase in the county subsidy.
>> Yeah.

2259
02:57:26,920 --> 02:57:32,800
» Per KDOT, the amount of funding
requested statewide greatly exceeded the

2260
02:57:31,200 --> 02:57:34,840
funds available.
>> Right.

2261
02:57:33,360 --> 02:57:38,640
» Which resulted in Coffee County
Transportation's operating budget being

2262
02:57:37,560 --> 02:57:41,680
underfunded.
>> Yeah.

2263
02:57:39,520 --> 02:57:41,680
» So.

2264
02:57:42,280 --> 02:57:46,360
They have a million dollars in assets.

2265
02:57:47,960 --> 02:57:50,600
A lot of assets.

2266
02:58:08,360 --> 02:58:14,280
And this is a pretty vital service to
our county taxpayers.

2267
02:58:12,760 --> 02:58:17,240
A lot of taxpayers.
>> There is a lot of damage.

2268
02:58:22,120 --> 02:58:28,360
Is there any way you can write that down
for me CDs down there that she's got

2269
02:58:25,520 --> 02:58:28,360
listed as well as the

2270
02:59:17,960 --> 02:59:24,440
» Yeah, I just
>> So they're like you're about personal

2271
02:59:21,640 --> 02:59:27,600
services to make that
both of that and then

2272
02:59:34,920 --> 02:59:38,480
good portion of that I guess and then

2273
02:59:40,480 --> 02:59:45,240
And it's only 3.2% increase so

2274
02:59:49,840 --> 02:59:58,280
So the zone just went up
$34,000

2275
02:59:54,480 --> 02:59:58,280
in fees and they lost

2276

03:13:10,200 --> 03:13:15,480
When
When you want that through?

2359
03:13:13,640 --> 03:13:20,920
Here's a picture of
a map or a diagram from the interior

2360
03:13:19,480 --> 03:13:25,280
where it would be in the mechanical
room.

2361
03:13:23,120 --> 03:13:28,160
It's two different maps.
An actual

2362
03:13:28,680 --> 03:13:37,120
picture
in the area that's being proposed.

2363
03:13:34,280 --> 03:13:37,120
And then

2364
03:13:39,200 --> 03:13:42,280
an example

2365
03:13:42,600 --> 03:13:49,400
Well, I'll just pull out the the
relevant sheets.

2366
03:13:47,400 --> 03:13:55,920
Eco water systems commercial water
softening sort of their their handouts

2367
03:13:51,760 --> 03:14:01,560
for sure and then specific
items that are highlighted that give the

2368
03:13:58,000 --> 03:14:05,560
examples for
uh flow rate and pressure.

2369
03:14:07,640 --> 03:14:14,720
Nominal
nominal resin tank diameter,

2370
03:14:11,760 --> 03:14:20,400
height, inlet outlet height, overall
height, brine tank diameter, brine tank

2371
03:14:17,760 --> 03:14:25,080
height, service
all concepts. I don't I can read it off,

2372
03:14:22,720 --> 03:14:30,040
but I have no idea what that means.
Um

2373
03:14:26,160 --> 03:14:36,360
operational flows, flow rate, pressure.
It's highlighted on the sheet, so

2374
03:14:33,760 --> 03:14:42,240
Hopefully that will be enough.
Um and then the only other thing is

2375
03:14:39,560 --> 03:14:47,120
that there is a
I don't know if it needs to be

2376
03:14:44,120 --> 03:14:47,120
written in here

2377
03:14:47,280 --> 03:14:50,640
anywhere. Um

2378
03:15:02,080 --> 03:15:09,880
Service coming in is a 4-in copper line
and I don't know if that makes a

2379
03:15:07,520 --> 03:15:14,640
difference or or not.
So, if you can

2380
03:15:11,480 --> 03:15:21,320
just take a look. I think that the bid
sheet with those attachments hopefully

2381
03:15:17,440 --> 03:15:21,320
will answer some of those questions.

2382
03:15:23,000 --> 03:15:30,200
» So, they request this and then
>> So, anybody who's interested, this will

2383
03:15:27,800 --> 03:15:34,920
be available here in the clerk's office
and then it'll get sent to

2384
03:15:32,760 --> 03:15:38,280
Ronald True Love down in
uh

2385
03:15:35,960 --> 03:15:42,840
the economic development. She'll post it
on the county website under the bid

2386
03:15:40,680 --> 03:15:47,440
advertisement section.
That's where a number of the

2387
03:15:45,160 --> 03:15:52,840
emails that I was receiving were I think
being generated from cuz they go in and

2388
03:15:49,480 --> 03:15:52,840
see the bid advertisement.

2389
03:15:57,840 --> 03:16:02,200
And then it has
the bid under the

2390
03:16:01,120 --> 03:16:05,840
bid advertisement. It has general
parameters what they're looking for and

2391
03:16:04,000 --> 03:16:10,200
references
in paragraph two, for example, or in the

2392
03:16:07,800 --> 03:16:13,800
project description. The system will be
installed in the Coffee County Law

2393
03:16:12,000 --> 03:16:18,000
Enforcement Center in the mechanical
room 184. Well,

2394
03:16:16,960 --> 03:16:22,160
that's
probably why that's generated questions

2395
03:16:20,160 --> 03:16:25,960
about well, what's
mechanical room 184 look like?

2396
03:16:24,760 --> 03:16:28,320
Now, there's
it's

2397
03:16:27,320 --> 03:16:29,320
So,
that

2398
03:16:28,825 --> 03:16:35,680
» [clears throat]
>> has at least a

2399
03:16:31,520 --> 03:16:35,680
picture of the mechanical room.

2400
03:16:38,760 --> 03:16:44,200
» Well, I mean, I think if anybody needs
more information than what you're

2401
03:16:41,640 --> 03:16:46,680
supplying there, then they can look. I
mean, that's going to be

2402
03:16:45,400 --> 03:16:48,600
» They can come and check it out.
>> Yeah, they can check it out.

2403
03:16:48,000 --> 03:16:52,400
» Yeah.
>> it out.

2404
03:16:50,160 --> 03:16:55,200
You know, I would expect it. If I'm just
bidding it, I want to anyway.

2405
03:16:54,080 --> 03:16:58,480
» Yeah.
>> I mean, that is just common

2406
03:16:59,040 --> 03:17:03,080
sense
and common courtesy.

2407
03:17:06,320 --> 03:17:10,400
Did you even put in more information in
these books

2408
03:17:09,520 --> 03:17:13,680
for us?
>> Um I will if I can get some more budget

2409
03:17:13,280 --> 03:17:16,680
» Okay.
>> to include that. But if you want to take

2410
03:17:14,960 --> 03:17:20,720
it, you can and I can set up a time
>> I'll just wait and then get it the next

2411
03:17:18,760 --> 03:17:23,960
or not let's finalize this next meeting
or what?

2412
03:17:20,960 --> 03:17:26,560
» No, no. It'll be in another
>> Well, I'm so tired.

2413
03:17:24,960 --> 03:17:29,086
» Uh oh, bad my aunt.
>> Yeah.

2414
03:17:27,320 --> 03:17:31,105
» Okay.
>> [clears throat]

2415
03:18:01,920 --> 03:18:08,680
» Do you do you still have a
word document this cover sheet that we

2416
03:18:06,720 --> 03:18:11,640
can
modify or adjust it?

2417
03:18:10,120 --> 03:18:15,720
» I can actually see it.
Did you email it to me, do you think?

2418
03:18:13,520 --> 03:18:19,240
» I I don't know actually. I don't
remember where

2419
03:18:17,320 --> 03:18:22,680
where it came from. I I can tell you it
didn't come from me.

2420
03:18:20,960 --> 03:18:27,080
Did you email it?
I have no memory of that part, yes.

2421
03:18:25,600 --> 03:18:32,720
Yeah, but that's the one we That would
be the one we need to

2422
03:18:29,200 --> 03:18:36,440
change the the date.
That includes

2423
03:18:35,000 --> 03:18:38,720
additional
>> These are

2424
03:18:37,240 --> 03:18:42,360
» documents that need to be part of this,
too.

2425
03:18:40,440 --> 03:18:49,360
Bid advertisement.
And it may be of value to include a

2426
03:18:46,200 --> 03:18:49,360
a sentence that says

2427
03:18:49,760 --> 03:18:57,960
reach out to the county to us
to request

2428
03:18:55,120 --> 03:19:02,200
an inspection of the reviewing of the
proposed site or something like that.

2429
03:18:59,720 --> 03:19:02,200
That way

2430
03:19:07,992 --> 03:19:10,012
» [snorts]

2431
03:19:14,200 --> 03:19:19,680
» So,
we're going to republish it again. It

2432
03:19:18,200 --> 03:19:23,760
also
need to go two times, three times.

2433
03:19:25,000 --> 03:19:31,200
» I don't remember when that was sent.
That was originally published.

2434
03:19:30,000 --> 03:19:36,080
» Do you mean to go check with the case
people cuz I don't show anything here?

2435
03:19:34,400 --> 03:19:38,280
She might have.
I'm okay.

2436
03:20:08,640 --> 03:20:13,240
» Is there a date on that top one of
those?

2437
03:20:10,800 --> 03:20:16,800
» She took both of them.
>> I think she took both.

2438
03:20:40,560 --> 03:20:43,520
This is June 3rd.

2439
03:21:00,760 --> 03:21:02,920
» See?

2440
03:21:03,280 --> 03:21:05,920
What is this?

2441
03:21:16,800 --> 03:21:24,520
Okay.
It came from Lisa.

2442
03:21:21,120 --> 03:21:24,520
I'm getting them to mix those shoes.

2443
03:21:27,240 --> 03:21:32,160
» Soak that grain three times four.

2444
03:21:46,720 --> 03:21:48,920
» Okay.

2445
03:21:51,600 --> 03:21:59,520
» So, what kind of wording you want on the
motion?

2446
03:21:55,400 --> 03:21:59,520
Like what we had before or

2447
03:21:59,600 --> 03:22:03,240
we need to modify it any?

2448
03:22:06,440 --> 03:22:13,680
» Um
the only thing that you might add is now

2449
03:22:10,560 --> 03:22:13,680
you're including

2450
03:22:16,760 --> 03:22:26,000
drawings and a picture of the mechanical
room and just an example

2451
03:22:23,560 --> 03:22:26,000
of

2452
03:22:27,000 --> 03:22:30,440
from whatever that company is.

2453
03:22:36,680 --> 03:22:39,520
He got water.

2454
03:22:40,200 --> 03:22:48,760
And then that'll all go as part of
somebody requests a big big packet and

2455
03:22:45,480 --> 03:22:48,760
then they can get a copy of that.

2456
03:23:02,200 --> 03:23:09,200
Oh, if you want
and I did find out the question about

2457
03:23:06,320 --> 03:23:09,200
McElroy's.

2458
03:23:09,960 --> 03:23:15,120
They they thought what they had
previously

2459
03:23:13,720 --> 03:23:19,000
turned in would
qualify and

2460
03:23:16,800 --> 03:23:23,800
they were informed that it did not cuz
they didn't

2461
03:23:20,680 --> 03:23:29,360
turn it in pursuant to the
the application process.

2462
03:23:27,320 --> 03:23:32,400
» Okay. That's what I figured might have
happened there is I figured it would

2463
03:23:30,760 --> 03:23:34,960
surely still be anonymous.
>> Yeah, it was.

2464
03:23:33,600 --> 03:23:37,080
» Good.
>> So

2465
03:23:36,440 --> 03:23:40,040
» So [clears throat]
you actually have a a bid

2466
03:23:38,800 --> 03:23:44,400
» I don't know if I have the right one.
>> Yeah, you're going to get one

2467
03:23:42,320 --> 03:23:48,200
» Yeah, un- unfortunately they were
advised that

2468
03:23:45,960 --> 03:23:52,360
would not uh qualify cuz they didn't
follow the procedures.

2469
03:23:51,120 --> 03:23:55,800
» But we at least have somebody that's
interested in for sure.

2470
03:23:53,840 --> 03:23:59,471
» Yep.
>> Okay, sir several things here. Num-

2471
03:23:58,200 --> 03:24:02,840
number one
>> [clears throat and cough]

2472
03:24:01,000 --> 03:24:09,800
» as long as I can get
the actual advertisement to bid by the

2473
03:24:07,200 --> 03:24:14,280
middle of the afternoon today, well
couple of hours

2474
03:24:11,760 --> 03:24:20,560
I can get it in this week's paper and if
you wanted to run it three times

2475
03:24:17,560 --> 03:24:24,200
then uh the last run would be on July
9th

2476
03:24:21,840 --> 03:24:31,000
which means that you could make the bids
due 5:00 p.m. Friday, July 10th.

2477
03:24:28,520 --> 03:24:34,840
If you wanted to go that fast on it. Or
if you wanted to push it off a week,

2478
03:24:32,640 --> 03:24:41,080
just push it off a week.
>> That the 10th is is fine.

2479
03:24:38,240 --> 03:24:45,400
Once Angie has the document
I think it's just a matter of

2480
03:24:43,720 --> 03:24:48,440
changing the dates, adding the
information, printing it off, signing it

2481
03:24:47,520 --> 03:24:52,880
and then it
being sent to [clears throat] uh

2482
03:24:51,200 --> 03:24:56,680
sent to you cuz you have the rest of the
packet.

2483
03:24:54,520 --> 03:25:00,320
And then sent out to
Rhonda and Economic Economic Development

2484
03:24:59,000 --> 03:25:03,160
to upload it.
>> It's [clears throat] already been

2485
03:25:01,080 --> 03:25:07,640
advertised once so that deal that should
be adequate. You know, basically giving

2486
03:25:05,400 --> 03:25:13,320
two weeks notice even though that would
be three notices.

2487
03:25:10,320 --> 03:25:13,320
» I feel it is.

2488
03:25:15,640 --> 03:25:20,691
» And July 10th?
>> Yeah.

2489
03:25:18,727 --> 03:25:22,711
» [sighs]
[clears throat]

2490
03:25:23,200 --> 03:25:26,560
» Okay, and then

2491
03:25:30,360 --> 03:25:35,680
» So basically I guess motion
[clears throat] be the same as before,

2492
03:25:33,640 --> 03:25:38,377
just change the
bid due date.

2493
03:25:37,040 --> 03:25:40,396
» Yeah.
>> [clears throat]

2494
03:25:41,240 --> 03:25:46,440
» And change
And then change some of the wording on

2495
03:25:43,800 --> 03:25:50,520
the actual invitation to bid.
>> What are you changing it to?

2496
03:25:48,640 --> 03:25:54,120
» Well, whatever. That
you'll be able to

2497
03:25:52,600 --> 03:25:58,520
be able to see the
>> What did you say with that what will be

2498
03:25:56,080 --> 03:26:03,440
included?
>> I just have something

2499
03:26:01,160 --> 03:26:09,280
reach out
to request an opportunity to view

2500
03:26:07,200 --> 03:26:11,960
the proposed location or something to
that effect.

2501
03:26:49,400 --> 03:26:54,600
» And then you want to publicly open and
read it July 13th?

2502
03:26:55,480 --> 03:27:01,760
» Yes. Yes.
>> At

2503
03:26:58,840 --> 03:27:04,560
9:05 and that way then you can move on
with Emily.

2504
03:27:07,520 --> 03:27:14,040
» We We just
We just sent somebody else in.

2505
03:27:12,720 --> 03:27:18,160
» Um
well, we were going to do Emily and

2506
03:27:17,640 --> 03:27:20,000
» Yeah.
>> Amber.

2507
03:27:19,320 --> 03:27:25,520
No.
>> You did the interviews?

2508
03:27:22,160 --> 03:27:27,880
I mean, we're going to Well, we could
>> That's next Monday.

2509
03:27:26,560 --> 03:27:32,560
» Right. Okay.
>> Um but now the 13th, we put them on on

2510
03:27:30,320 --> 03:27:35,760
the calendar.
That was

2511
03:27:36,278 --> 03:27:41,600
» [clears throat]
>> Oh, yeah, Amber. At

2512
03:27:38,800 --> 03:27:41,600
» At 10:00.

2513
03:27:41,720 --> 03:27:46,760
» So, we could do her
9:00.

2514
03:27:45,200 --> 03:27:50,920
7:00.
>> Yeah. Open these bids and then go right

2515
03:27:49,760 --> 03:27:54,680
into Amber.
>> Yeah.

2516
03:27:52,560 --> 03:27:54,680
Okay.

2517
03:27:55,560 --> 03:27:59,160
And then 5:00, we'll say.
