[0:00] I'm not going to break the meeting of the girl attending four on board March 16, 2020, six or four.
[0:07] Roll call, madam court.
[0:09] Lloyd Cohen, Jason Cox.
[0:13] Here, Steven Johnson.

[0:26] Donna Staten.
[0:28] Here.
[0:28] How's pitch come to you, Widgets? Kevin Arnold? Kevinville.
[0:39] You have 10.
[0:40] And Coran? Yes.
[0:43] So you received in your packet the minutes from the regular meeting in February 17th.
[0:48] If you have a chance to look out.
[0:51] Just a second.
[0:52] Just a second. Just a second.
[0:54] any discussion? All in favour? Any opposed? We also have the minutes from the budget,
[1:04] technology and health and welfare.
[1:09] Well, just this morning, just a substantial second on most. Any discussion? All in favour? Any opposed?
[1:20] You received your reports in your packet.
[1:25] Mr. Wolf Adam, Justice Morgan, six.
[1:30] Justice Johnson, second.
[1:32] Any discussion? All in favor?
[1:36] Any opposed?
[1:39] Committee reports?
[1:43] I don't know if this is exactly the proper place to do this,
[1:47] but I'll talk about a couple of things in committee.
[1:49] One thing I know of, you all know I believe it was last year that the VFD and the time to us want to work at purchase or lease of some property that's up behind the health department.
[2:03] And there's still how to do that.
[2:05] After speaking with Mr. Holmes, I don't know if it's legal, we could sell it to them.
[2:12] open it up so we can possibly waste that to them so that they can build them and who
[2:17] they have to build the facility and I think in the plans what they want to do, they're also
[2:23] going to make that, when they build it, make it a storm shelter open for people to, so that
[2:27] they can access to the community. So, yes, can we legally lease it to for an hour?
[2:35] That was coming.
[2:36] Yes, sir.
[2:39] And, you know, I'll wrap it to you.
[2:42] Or I'll have a legal perhaps, a contract to look into that, you know, dollar here at least.
[2:51] 99 years or whatever, you know, to look at doing it.
[2:55] If everybody's good with that, it's it.
[3:00] If you look at that, it says it's about 12 acres of the feet.
[3:03] If you draw out, it shows it's about an answer, we'll probably get a survey on it, just a note exactly what it is,
[3:12] and we can have that discretion to build up in the contract as well.
[3:15] So you did have a source here for self-defense.
[3:18] Yeah, it's a total error.
[3:20] So it's all work on, yeah, it's something to wrap it up for that.
[3:24] Thanks for tuning in.
[3:26] Also, I've been in conversation with Baptist Health on our hospital, on the leash, you know,
[3:33] that leash is kind of in 2028, I've been talking about the amount of time to see where
[3:40] they stand on things, you know, they're really, they don't like the leash that we have,
[3:48] and for my understanding, talking to different ones, it is for a 30 exceptional leash, most
[3:53] voices don't have a least of that magnitude, you know, what they give us for that hospital.
[4:00] So they'd like to try to do some sort of negotiation on that, you know, possibly over a few
[4:05] years period, even mentioned, you know, we're trying to help us out maybe, come 2028, at least
[4:13] another year of extension on the least, you know, try to work on some things.
[4:18] So we're still in negotiations with that, you get to say that, you know, there is something
[4:23] needs to be upgraded in that building, you know, there are a lot of maintenance and stuff
[4:28] of that, but I told you, you know, we'd like to meet and take a look at it and see what they
[4:34] have done and what still needs to be done, look after, see if there's any type of funding that
[4:39] can help on that to help, to help up, great it. So, I know some of you have shown interest in
[4:45] maybe doing a tour of the place and he is open for that, so anybody would like to get together,
[4:52] You know, we could, we could set it after hours, you know, so I'd like to be there if you think
[4:57] I was interested in, and doing a sort of silly, and talking with them and seeing what they
[5:02] have and what they need.
[5:05] So, this, the contract has to pass the on-board, well, it has to be upgraded, yes, I mean, the contract
[5:15] at least it's up between 28, so yeah, I mean, in fact,
[5:20] oh, sorry, yeah, I just have to come here to the bottom.
[5:23] So they have just the emergency room and that down to the top.
[5:26] And my knowledge that's all they're using right now,
[5:29] and I mean, there's a lot of the facilities
[5:31] that they're not using, sorry, I think.
[5:33] And we are looking at some other avenues as well,
[5:37] but we certainly want to work with them
[5:40] that they're all possible.
[5:41] So it's like they can get this medical college
[5:43] to make it work with, and they have to work with the Mercy Room that have their students working in them.
[5:51] I don't know.
[5:51] All right, are you all interested in having sure of the facility?
[5:56] Sometimes, my kids have been in America, but I've had the tour.
[5:59] I don't know.
[6:01] I've used the fire out of that emergency room.
[6:05] Well, I'll get with him, and I'll get a few available dates that he had, and send it out and see who's there.
[6:13] we'll take a look at it and see what we can come up with in the village here in San Francisco.
[6:23] Comments from the public on the agenda.
[6:29] I want to ask a question out of this.
[6:31] I want to ask a question out of this.
[6:34] Yes.
[6:35] Is that it?
[6:38] It's 775.
[6:47] Judges now, it's got a few things here to mention that we have to...
[6:51] road department or still fixing
[6:55] potholes in the heart lane, you know, we're fixing you kicked off on the asphalt
[6:59] for the years, just a few things that we're always doing this year.
[7:02] They're in the process of widening out a ding road.
[7:06] The cuts through from ding springs to ball, we're going to overlay that road,
[7:11] make it a wide road. We're going to finish connecting freedom rally road to ball road.
[7:17] Through their with hard surface, we're on hard surface, two miles, kind of sour, a north chest
[7:23] route, a run-to-bed, another half-mile cross-range, revenue to the bottom, and then a few
[7:30] Or situations we have on non-banned OVA, Union Town Road. And that's just a few names of what they're going to do, but I kind of give you the scope around the county of what you're doing this year.
[7:42] Does anybody have any questions on any thing to do it on that?
[7:51] I mean, those two, I guess, on the pitch, what's one of the crossroads, I think I was sending one of them to finish all their boring under there.
[8:08] Yes, they finally come back and we had a meeting with them, they reconquered all their big officer, everything they had on that.
[8:17] Is that up?
[8:18] This is a can't even do, but they're going to overlay that person.
[8:21] We're looking at end of doing that because-
[8:24] What's the length of this?
[8:25] It's an old patch though.
[8:27] We were on for quite a while to get that completed there.
[8:32] Well, there have been their meeting tomorrow, and I just want to raise it up.
[8:34] Hell yeah.
[8:35] Ask.
[8:36] The question right come up.
[8:39] Another deal that speaks to them.
[8:42] We did have a meeting with them a couple of months ago.
[8:45] We're going to show the Belmont Road down the bridge and when we got our clear down and they're going to move the line, they're going to walk over to the edge of the right way.
[8:58] Sort of the road and anything.
[9:01] And we'll work with any sleeves that need to go across the road or anything.
[9:07] So they've been very good at work with that.
[9:11] Another thing we've mentioned in the minutes is we received our legislative joint
[9:17] audit back on that.
[9:21] Everything went pretty well.
[9:23] I'll just say they did have one finding in here and that slipped through the cracks and
[9:29] will not happen again.
[9:31] Back in 2024, we released some duck trucks from local company and we also bought
[9:39] one, two. The least drugs was run through HDAC, which is a buying source where you don't
[9:46] have to bid it. It felt through the cracks that they did not run, the one that we bought
[9:52] through HDAC, and we did not bid it. So that was a written finding on an alleged way to buy it.
[9:58] So it was a hit, but I can assure you that it won't happen again, and they know that too.
[10:05] So everything else I'll say went through it through pretty good. I don't know if any of you had a chance to look at it
[10:12] Is there any questions on the audit?
[10:16] All right, it comes off, okay?
[10:18] I mentioned several times about our counting method. It's legal in the state. They recommended using the
[10:29] CAP standard
[10:34] I'm not sure where's that at
[10:38] In here
[10:43] I'll make a note of what
[10:49] says that we're using a regulatory basis as it's almost like a cash base of a county.
[10:53] We have standards.
[10:56] That's more like an accrual type of county.
[11:01] And I just took a question here.
[11:02] How hard is switching to that standards?
[11:04] And the adverse opinion was to cure lower interest rates for the county.
[11:09] If we have this to different county methods.
[11:15] Okay.
[11:16] So, you know, we could go with that.
[11:20] Did you have another one?
[11:27] The bond in debt?
[11:28] Do you know, have any bond in debt?
[11:29] Is that real?
[11:31] That's correct.
[11:33] This is what we could have.
[11:35] Up to 89.69 in the bond of debt.
[11:37] We don't have any of these.
[11:39] That's right.
[11:39] In our short term.
[11:43] 24 million.
[11:45] And then we could have a total of three million.
[11:47] Like a total of three million.
[11:48] Like a total of three million.
[11:49] Like a total of three million.
[11:49] You can hear a melody, right?
[11:53] That's any equipment.
[11:55] Now, I will tell you, they speak specific things out to look at in that.
[12:01] I know we have more equipment than three million dollars worth of equipment.
[12:05] That's what's out in the money that I'm so sorry.
[12:12] Anyway, I was impressed with that.
[12:17] The manager's actually, that's our whole debt.
[12:19] That should be correct.
[12:21] Now if you want to run a low, I'm just a big owner, I have the ability to borrow 100 million dollars.
[12:33] Sorry, 3 million dollars with that.
[12:35] How did you get your own water bottle at that far?
[12:38] Yes.
[12:39] There you go.
[12:44] Our grandkids aren't strapped.
[12:46] That's it.
[12:47] As it forms there,
[12:53] we think I had any more questions on the office.
[13:04] One other thing that I would like to mention in your prayers,
[13:13] I mentioned later, prayer, I'm probably seeing here what he passed away this weekend.
[13:20] He's a former owner installed a state representative from 1999 to 2004.
[13:26] He was 25 years on Crock County Board of Education, and he also worked at the road department
[13:32] today's statement. Many, many years of his life in public service, so we'll do appreciate
[13:37] him and just remember his family and thoughts on prayer.
[13:46] Okay. Moving on.
[13:54] After our meeting, we had with the owners and the people that were the gentleman,
[13:58] there was happy to find how it to make an attention to it for all ordinance 2026.
[14:03] There was a motion to pull orders of 2026.

[14:15] All in favor?
[14:17] Any opposed?
[14:25] Since the place of the next 2026.
[14:27] There were three.
[14:31] That's the second reading of that, right?
[14:36] That's the second reading of that, right?
[14:38] That's what you'd like.
[14:40] Okay.
[14:41] We have motion to withdraw.
[14:42] We're in this 21st station.
[14:44] We're out for four.
