[1:30] » Motion passes two.
[1:34] » Morning, Grant.
>> Morning, Grant. Next, we had the highway
[1:38] department. Chris ain't with us here
this morning. Uh we did have a highway
[1:42] meeting this morning and uh Mike Costto
from the shity company was there and uh
[1:48] we went over some the road projects that
they're getting ready to redo out at the
[1:53] Billings mine. That's kind of what we
what we talked about there. Um like I
[1:59] said, Chris couldn't be with us. He does
have an LPA voucher for us to sign on
[2:03] the US50 roundabout. Uh this preliminary
engineering uh it was for the amount
[2:10] Just a second.
>> Yeah, there it is. For
[2:17] 19,73322.
[2:22] » I'll make a motion to approve the LPA
voucher.
[2:25] » Motion by Commissioner Cook. I will
second. All those in favor say I.
[2:29] » I.
>> Motion passes to zero.
[2:37] Next up, uh we got Laura Petty. Yep.
With the community corrections. Good
[2:41] morning.
>> Morning.
[2:42] » She's got a couple grants that she's
wanting to apply for.
[2:48] » I sent um all the documents to Miss Ded
and she probably forward those to you.
[2:55] Correct.
>> Yes. Y
[2:57] » these are the same grants that we apply
for every year for community
[3:01] corrections. It's the Department of
Correction grant and um I have to split
[3:06] it up because we do have a work release.
So part of it's county supervision, the
[3:10] other part is work release. The amount
is the same as last year
[3:15] increase. Only reason I didn't increase
it is because they're major funding cuts
[3:21] right now and we didn't get affected by
it last year. A lot of counties did but
[3:25] we did not and I don't think we'll get
affected by it this year but just to be
[3:31] safe I just asked for the same amount.
>> Yep. and any changes I reflected on the
[3:37] project income side which is our fund um
1122
[3:42] » that went up a little bit just to offset
>> and was this the one I saw that 40 years
[3:48] you
>> 44
[3:50] » 44 years yeah
>> no you guys do some great things there I
[3:54] don't see a problem with it though
>> entertain a motion to uh for her to
[3:58] apply for the grants
>> I'll make a motion for the community
[4:02] corrections and the work release grant
Motion by Commissioner Cook. I will
[4:06] second. All those in favor say I.
>> I.
[4:09] » Motion passes two. Thanks, Laura.
[4:14] » Next, we got uh Lauren.
>> Good morning.
[4:18] » Morning.
>> So, just a really quick overview. Um,
[4:22] our voting machines used to be about
this big. I could easily carry and move
[4:26] them around. Um, in 24 we got new ones
that the cases are much, much bigger,
[4:31] probably this big. They have an extra
side that's encased in steel for
[4:35] security purposes. So, they're big,
they're heavy, they're bulky. So, in 24,
[4:40] we hired Tom's moving to move machines
to and from the locations on the
[4:44] Saturday and election day. Worked really
well. They did a great job. It was very
[4:47] organized. We're very happy with them.
So, we got a quote for this year. And
[4:51] the money's in the budget. I just need
to get the contracts signed.
[4:54] » That sounds great. Yeah. I don't I don't
think I'd want to lug them big old
[4:57] things around. Do you know what one of
them weigh? That Tom say what one of
[5:00] them weigh?
>> 70 some pounds.
[5:01] » Yeah. It wouldn't be no fun.
>> Yeah, it's not pretty. No.
[5:04] » I entertain a motion to approve the
invoice.
[5:07] » So moved.
>> Motion by Commissioner Cook. I will
[5:11] second. All those in favor say I.
>> I.
[5:13] » Motion passes two zero.
>> Thank you guys.
[5:16] » Thanks, Lawrence.
>> Next, we got the virtual
[5:21] academy um
with Julie. Yeah.
[5:31] Good morning. Um, so this is basically
we already have an agreement with this
[5:37] company that we utilize their training
services for our continuing education
[5:41] that we're required to have. So this is
kind of an add-on to what we currently
[5:45] have. Um, this add-on is for policy
management. So this allows us to upload
[5:50] all of our policies and procedures in
there. It retains the old ones that
[5:54] people can go back and reference and
then keeps all those up to date. Has an
[5:58] electronic sign off where it's date
timestamps for when people go over those
[6:02] policies so we can say well you read at
this date and this time all that good
[6:05] stuff. Uh the other aspect of it is the
CTO portion which is our train for our
[6:10] training. We do daily observation
reports. So this allows us to have more
[6:15] statistics and tracking not only for our
trainees but for our trainers. So we
[6:19] can, you know, make sure we are
evaluating not only the traineees but
[6:23] the trainers and getting feedback and
making sure, you know, we're doing
[6:26] everything we can to keep that moving
success successfully. So um
[6:33] » that Yeah. No, that's what I kind of
>> read everything there.
[6:38] » Uh this is the one I just saw that this
had some of the changes that we talked
[6:42] about. So it'll last
>> a year.
[6:45] » A year. Yes. And that's sufficient. And
then we'll have to
[6:49] » okay
>> renew it when the year.
[6:52] » You think I mean you think it'll go I
mean if everything goes well it'll go
[6:57] keep going.
>> Yes. I mean like like I said we already
[6:59] used their their training portal and you
know we've had success with that. Um I
[7:05] don't see us unless we just it gets to a
financial aspect where we have to kind
[7:08] of cut the meat with it and you know it
might be something that we have to look
[7:12] at cutting if we're forced to. But um I
don't see, you know, I I do feel like
[7:16] this would be something that's, you
know, very
[7:18] » But you're okay with that that it it
lasts a year. Okay.
[7:21] » Yeah. And then we just have to
>> You guys have that in your budget
[7:25] already?
>> Yes. Yes.
[7:28] » You saw this coming.
>> Well, it's it's in we have a little
[7:32] extra in case we need it. So, and I've
kind of cut other things out that
[7:37] » this was just kind of an add-on of
something that you already have,
[7:40] correct?
>> Yes.
[7:42] I don't have any more questions.
>> As long as you got the money in the
[7:45] budget, I'm fine with that.
>> All right. I'll entertain a motion to
[7:50] approve the uh
[7:54] what is the virtual academy agreement.
>> So moved.
[7:58] » Moved by or motion by Commissioner Cook.
I will second. All those in favor say I.
[8:02] » I.
>> Motion passes two. Thank you.
[8:08] Next, we got a uh S13 supplement u for
ordinances
[8:15] from American Legal. Uh I think Jen kind
of explained that to me put all of our
[8:20] ordinances online. Is that correct?
>> Anything else to add to that? I mean, is
[8:26] that kind of basic?
>> Yeah, you do it every year. You just got
[8:28] to update it. Okay.
>> It's it's extremely important that we
[8:32] get all the ordinances.
>> Yes. So I I might just ask to make sure
[8:36] that u even our even our zoning solar
all the things need to be in the exact
[8:43] same like in the same local. Um
sometimes they're in different places
[8:49] and it's easy for us to simply then
direct people. They have a solar
[8:54] question we say we'll hop online here's
the link.
[8:58] » Um that was my only only thought. They
they've been very good. So when I first
[9:02] started doing this we had the physical
and I
[9:05] » I think we had like 20 books. Was that I
think Jen kind of said that
[9:09] » I received a ton of questions. Hey, do
we have an ordinance about this? Do we
[9:11] have an ordinance about that?
>> And so they were scattered all over the
[9:15] place. It's a bit simpler now because
it's online.
[9:17] » As long as we get all of them on there
>> in one place,
[9:21] » right?
>> Sounds great.
[9:23] » I'll uh entertain a motion
for the online ordinance.
[9:28] » So moved.
>> Motion by Commissioner Cook. I will
[9:32] second. All those in favor say I.
>> I.
[9:35] » Motion passes to zero.
I believe that's it. That's pretty quick
[9:41] meeting. Well, we got Jen Jen had to be
gone when she didn't make it this
[9:46] morning. Commissioner Cook's going to
Indianapolis. He had to get on the road
[9:48] pretty quick this morning. So, we we
shortened up the agenda a little bit and
[9:52] we got through it pretty quick.
>> Yeah. I got invited uh to be at a
[9:55] commissioner round table with Lieutenant
Governor Michael Beckwith. So, 12
[9:59] commissioners throughout the state and
and I was one of them. So, I thought I
[10:02] should be up there to represent Davis
County.
[10:04] » Absolutely. Absolutely. Get us get us
get us some good stuff.
[10:08] » I'm trying to get that tax dollars back
here, right?
[10:11] » All right. Sounds good. With that being
said, I entertain a motion to pay the
[10:14] claims, payroll, and adjourn the
meeting.
[10:17] » So, move.
>> Motion by Commissioner Cook. I will
[10:20] second. All those in favor say I.
>> I. Motion passes two
