>> Thank you. Uh the federal office of

47
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,000
management and budget has proposed a
governmentwide rewrite of the

48
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:58,319
regulations governing federal financial
assistance of under two CFR part 200.

49
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:02,400
Nicole recently submitted comments on
the proposal, raising concerns about

50
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:07,360
increased administrative requirements,
uncertainty surrounding federal funding

51
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:12,640
commitments, and potential financial
exposure for counties. Uh, these changes

52
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:17,280
could create significant uncertainty for
counties that enter into contracts,

53
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:21,519
limit local resources for or advance
funds based on a federal award. MAC is

54
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,560
urging county commissioners to contact
your house member uh to write support to

55
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:32,560
the Senate uh including the provisions
delaying the OM's uniform guidance rule

56
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:36,880
until December 11th. A group went out to
Pine Pioneer Trail Park to examine the

57
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:41,919
proposed path for the non-motorized
connection between Eskanaba uh Wells

58
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,800
Township in Gladstone. It was determined
to be a feasible plan by the engineers

59
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:50,560
that were there and uh in attendance for
the walkthrough. At this point, the

60
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:55,440
county has funds through the Hannibville
2% grant to be able to start on

61
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:59,600
preliminary surveying of the area uh to
see if there's any necessary easements

62
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,479
that are going to have to be discussed
um and put in place. So, there will be

63
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:09,840
more to come with that in the future.
Um, I would like to formally thank Brad

64
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Nelson and Joe Burby who uh were helpful
and instrumental um after the OB Fuller

65
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:20,479
Park tornado uh for their quick response
and huge help that they lent the

66
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,880
maintenance crew that night um right
after it had come through. They jumped

67
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:28,800
into action as an emergency response to
help open up the roads, get the campers

68
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:33,680
who were trapped in the park uh to be
able to um exit the park if necessary.

69
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:37,280
So without their assistance, I know in
talking to our maintenance department,

70
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:41,440
it would have taken a lot longer time in
order to get those roads opened up. So

71
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:46,960
we really appreciate uh their assistance
in that and their volunteerism.

72
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:50,320
Um as the fair was underway last month,
the fair authority held a ribbon cutting

73
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,919
ceremony for the new bath house that was
finished as part of the DNR trust fund

74
00:05:52,160 --> 00:06:00,320
grant that was administered by the
county. That grant was originally put in

75
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:04,639
place in 2019. Um so officially the bath
house is done. It's finished. It's

76
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,479
operational. Um, so thank you to Dan
Black with Dynamic Design and Matt

77
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,880
Balakut with the chamber for helping to
see this grant through and finish off

78
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:16,000
the project. We will just have one final
reimbursement that I will help

79
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,720
administer through the grant and then we
can officially close that grant out um

80
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:22,880
with the trust fund. So I'm happy to
announce that. Thank you.

81
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,600
» Perfect.
>> Okay. Thank you.

82
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:28,800
» Can I get a motion to put the
administrator's report on file?

83
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:33,840
» So moved.
>> Support. Any questions? All in favor?

84
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:42,319
» I.
>> Anybody opposed? Motion pass.

85
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:46,400
Number two, finance minutes of 8 20.
>> So, Commissioner Williams and I met

86
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:52,800
along with our administrator and
controller. Um we will be discussing

87
00:06:49,840 --> 00:07:00,080
both of those items as it was uh the
motion was set and carried to bring both

88
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:05,840
the RFPs forward which are items five
and six in our agenda.

89
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:11,919
Can I get a motion to put the finance
minutes on file?

90
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,080
» So move support.
>> All in favor?

91
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:18,639
» I.
>> Anybody opposed? Motion passed. Number

92
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:26,479
three, departmental updates. Any
departmental updates?

93
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:33,280
Any departmental updates? Seeing none,
we will move on to unfinished business.

94
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,280
Number one is the airport resolution and
bylaws.

95
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:11,560
just a lot to to look at here.

96
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:19,760
There's two options. Is there is do we
know if there's one option over the

97
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,680
other? That's
um

98
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,080
Yeah. Yeah. Is that okay if we if we
haven't come up?

99
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:30,720
» I'd like to make a motion that we put
aside Robert's rules of order u for the

100
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:39,360
discussion and uh hopefully completion
of um the uh bylaws and the um

101
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,760
» resolution
>> resolution. [laughter]

102
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:48,480
Thank you. I also just wanted to say
it's like halfway through that packet of

103
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,920
information on that there's is agenda
item request form that kind of

104
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:55,839
summarizes and then there are three
different options following that that

105
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,240
were presented from the airport advisory
board.

106
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,240
» Okay,

107
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:06,240
got a motion. We had a second.
>> Mhm.

108
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:09,440
» All in favor?
>> I

109
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,720
» welcome. [laughter]
>> Thank you. I I was just sitting back

110
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:17,279
there. I wanted you guys to kind of read
through it and digest it before I come

111
00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:21,600
up here and start talking. Um, so to
answer your question, Commissioner

112
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:26,560
Williams, we really don't have a
preference. We kind of brainstormed and

113
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:30,880
laid out options for the quandry were in
now where through a combination of

114
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:35,279
districtricting and a move, we now have
two members on the advisory board, both

115
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:40,640
from your district, and we as of today
with one open seat have two

116
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:46,560
unrepresented districts. So the advisory
board along with Ashley and Gina, we

117
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:52,399
came up with three options.
The the first option

118
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:58,000
basically leaves the board how it is
with the one caveat is

119
00:10:55,839 --> 00:11:03,200
making the five appointed members at
large with the goal of filling

120
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:09,040
economic development, frequent
travelers, general aviation, commercial

121
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:12,720
aviation, the travel industry, which
today we have three of those five

122
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:17,519
covered. In the past, we had all five
covered, but in all reality, I don't

123
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:22,079
know that we ever will be able to fill
all five simultaneously.

124
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:25,640
Um,
option two

125
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:37,279
adds two seats to the board. So, it
would be two commissioner members,

126
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:44,800
one from each district, and then two at
large to fill in skill gaps.

127
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:50,800
Option three
removes one commissioner seat and adds

128
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:55,440
in an atlarge. You know, and the reason
why we threw that in there is there are

129
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,760
other advisories or andor authorities in
the county that only have one

130
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:02,000
commissioner on them.
>> Mhm.

131
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:05,920
» Um I don't have Steve's research with me
prior to our last advisory meeting. For

132
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,920
those of you that know Steve, do you
know he's a pencil and paper kind of

133
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:14,720
guy? So he had a whole bunch of notes
written down. And one of the things he

134
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:21,120
found is that a lot of the small
community airports such as our own that

135
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:27,680
created advisory boards at the same time
Delta County created the advisory board

136
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:33,200
that did one from every district, which
is the law for the authority because the

137
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:40,240
authority is spending money. But in the
KC advisory, we're not we're not

138
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:45,040
spending money and the state law that
dictates

139
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:49,360
creation of the advisory states that the
advisory fill skill sets that you need.

140
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:53,920
You know, so for example, some of our
larger airports have 10 15 advisory

141
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,279
boards and they all focus on their one
little part of the airport. Obviously,

142
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:02,240
we don't justify that. So, we have one
advisory board that focuses on the

143
00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:07,600
entire airport. But a lot of those
airports, Pelston,

144
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,440
um, Tra, believe it or not, Traverse
City created an advisory board at one

145
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:16,240
point in time. A lot of those smaller
airports have went from the we're going

146
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:21,200
to have someone in every district
because you take a county like ours, we

147
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:24,160
have a couple districts that are pretty
small geographically, and we have one

148
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,519
district that's like two-thirds of the
county because they're split up by

149
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,240
» population.
>> Population. So, you know, some of these

150
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:37,279
areas it's hard to find people that want
to serve. So, you know, the idea was is

151
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,839
that
we find people that fill the, you know,

152
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:45,839
fill fill the knowledge gaps we have,
you know, that gives us the point of

153
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:50,240
view that we're looking for,
you know, and obviously we don't want to

154
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:54,000
pack the board with people from the city
of Eskanaba because they're all willing

155
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:59,360
to serve because it's a 15-minute walk
from their house to the airport. But,

156
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:05,199
you know, we do need to have the
flexibility to make sure we keep people

157
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:08,639
with the skill sets we have in place,
you know. So, we're we're throwing these

158
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:14,160
out here as three options for you guys
to pick one. And then, you know, we had

159
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:18,720
our joint meeting last month and went
over bylaws and we decided we're going

160
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,679
to put a pin in the bylaws until, you
know, because really you have four

161
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:26,160
options. you have these three
[clears throat] before you or your other

162
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:31,040
option is no action which will lead to
someone leaving the board. Um,

163
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:35,519
you know, so it's kind of your choice.
We really don't have a preference. I

164
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:42,560
know some of you have preferences one
way or the other, but that's for you to

165
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:46,800
decide. H um I I like option two myself
because I like the fact that there still

166
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:53,120
would be a representative potentially
from one of the districts, but it leaves

167
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:57,920
open these two at large members that can
be a skill set they're looking for. Um

168
00:14:56,079 --> 00:15:04,560
so it kind of leaves in place what we
have but adds two members. And if we

169
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:09,440
want, if our goal is to, you know,
develop our airport, grow our airport,

170
00:15:06,959 --> 00:15:13,440
really see our airport, move in a in a
new direction, I think having additional

171
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:18,720
people around the table might be a good
thing. Um, so I like option two myself.

172
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,800
» Same.
>> So the the one tidbit

173
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:26,720
that I want to throw out there is if we
do option two, it makes it a nine person

174
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:30,399
board. It moves the quorum threshold
from four to five.

175
00:15:27,839 --> 00:15:35,920
» Mhm. which in the last couple years has
not been a problem, but in the past I

176
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:41,199
have had problem meeting a fourperson
quorum. So if we if we get them filled,

177
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:46,160
great. I don't see an issue. My concern
is if we say, "Okay, we're going to go

178
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:49,920
nine and then we wait six months to fill
the three open the now three open seats

179
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:53,199
because people don't come forward."
>> I think we have several I think we have

180
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:55,920
several applications that have come
forward in the last couple of months.

181
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,880
We've had several
>> and we have commissioners that are very

182
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:03,571
dedicated.
>> Yeah.

183
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,571
» I'm going to bite my tongue. [laughter]

184
00:16:04,171 --> 00:16:09,680
[snorts]
>> Yeah. Yeah. If you if you have a list of

185
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,639
people want to serve, I that issue goes
away.

186
00:16:10,079 --> 00:16:14,160
» Yeah. Yeah.
>> But I know in the past we've had

187
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,560
trouble, you know, we've had seats sit
open because we have a hard time getting

188
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:21,680
someone to come forward.
>> I would like us to consider um going

189
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:29,120
down to one commissioner. I don't feel
it necessary to have two commissioners

190
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:33,839
on our boards. Um,
you know, we have one commissioner on

191
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:38,959
the planning commission. We have one
commissioner for plenty of our other

192
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:41,759
boards. Correct. VS.
>> Well, some are statute. It's two

193
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,240
commissioners. And I don't know.
>> Is this by statute?

194
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,199
» Yeah. I don't I don't know off the top
of my head. Do you know if I think it

195
00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:51,600
was in statute?
>> Um, I can look it up real quick, but I

196
00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:55,120
don't mind. thought it actually was.
>> But like parks and wreck is too because

197
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:59,759
it's statute. I think
>> I'll have to say advisory if it's an

198
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,120
authority there maybe, but I'm not sure
if with the advis if it's an advisory.

199
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,039
» Yeah, I don't think the aeronautical law
stipulates any.

200
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,319
» Okay.
>> Okay.

201
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:09,319
» I won't look it up then.

202
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:19,439
Again, I would just go back to, you
know, developing our um airport and and

203
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:23,280
really wanting to focus energy on the
airport. I actually like the fact that

204
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:26,959
there's two commissioners on it. Okay.
But, you know, that's that's my opinion

205
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:29,600
as of right now. I just I feel like
we're really moving in the right

206
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:34,799
direction with the airport right now.
And I I like I like the representation

207
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:40,320
» on the board. I like the fact that we
would be adding additional people to to

208
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,240
really help um just move it, you know.
move the needle there. So,

209
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:48,799
» okay, great.
>> I wouldn't say that. I was also kind of

210
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,799
leaning towards three just because of
the try to thin it down, try to be

211
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,760
budget-minded. But, um, Commissioner
Williams, I do see your point as far as

212
00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:59,200
like, hey, if we have the people that
are willing in the spots, like that's

213
00:17:57,679 --> 00:18:02,160
awesome.
>> Yeah.

214
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,559
» Especially Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I was
going to say

215
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,320
» neither Michigan law or federal law
require two commissioners.

216
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:12,880
» Okay. Thank you. I was going to say the
especially since we're how we've already

217
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:19,600
looked at wanting to be able to expand
and develop um as we move forward that

218
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:26,520
also brings in those additional
resources knowledge base wise to help

219
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,520
help facilitate that.

220
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:37,200
» Well, I would make a motion that we
adopt option two to uh edit.

221
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,320
Oh, we have to [laughter]
>> do we have to have a motion to come out

222
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,440
of
>> Yeah. Could Could I make that motion to

223
00:18:41,679 --> 00:18:45,520
come back into Robert's rules of order?
>> Support.

224
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,720
» All in favor?
>> I.

225
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:55,600
» And then I would make the motion to
adopt option two, which would edit our

226
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:59,919
um resolution that created the airport
advisory board

227
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:04,600
to, and I'm just going to grab the
language real quick so I get it right.

228
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:18,000
uh that would consist of nine. The
airport advisory board would consist of

229
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,039
nine members, two of whom shall be
members of the county board of

230
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,440
commissioners, two of whom shall reside
in Delta County and fill one of the

231
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:29,440
skill sets in the above forementioned
resolution and five other

232
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,760
non-commissioners who are citizens and
current residents of Delta County. And

233
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,200
then the five members are one from each
district.

234
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:40,200
» So basically it would be option two as
presented.

235
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:49,480
» Nope.
>> Any more discussion?

236
00:19:45,919 --> 00:19:49,480
Roll call, please.

237
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,200

» Thank you. We are going with option.
>> Thank you for your work, Brian.

243
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:16,600
» Oh, let's see here.

244
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,559
Down to number two. Or is there another
motion on that?

245
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,559
» No.
>> Bylaws.

246
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,200
» No, that was it.
>> That was it.

247
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:35,360
» Okay. Now they'll come back now that we
have that part and now we'll uh work on

248
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:39,679
the resolution and the bylaws getting
them all squared away.

249
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:44,480
» Number two, appointment to
uh airport advisory board. One opening

250
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,440
now there's
>> now there's two opening. Three

now
>> on the airport advisor?

253
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:59,919
» Yeah. So we have the two at large
members. Correct. And then

254
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,480
» Okay. Thank you, Brian, cuz it's just
been so

255
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:06,320
» so scrambled.
>> The current people we have on the board

256
00:21:03,919 --> 00:21:11,039
now are myself and Will K who are in
Christine's district.

257
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,080
» Dee is in your district and Steve is in
Pat's.

258
00:21:11,679 --> 00:21:14,480
» Okay.
>> So, that leaves John and Matt's

259
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,640
districts open.
>> Don John and Matt's and which numbers

260
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,280

>> One and five.

261
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:25,039
» One and five. And we have we have an
applicant from district five

262
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:29,280

three.
>> Oh, I'm sorry. There are Yes.

265
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:41,200
» But we already have one of the members
who is going to be considered the

266
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:46,880
atlarge member for district 3. So we
have a district one, a district five,

267
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,039
and a district three opening. Mhm.
>> And we have an applicant from district

271
00:21:56,159 --> 00:21:59,159

>> Chalissa is not here. No, I don't think

315
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:13,039
there's anything we can do about this.
This is kind of like we just [laughter]

316
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:22,400
accept this and move on. Yeah.
>> Um, yeah. So, I would uh move to set the

317
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:25,400

>> Support.

And this is for uh
>> yeah, this I and um I would just move to

322
00:25:51,840 --> 00:26:00,320
approve. It's a pro it's $600 to cover
from start to end of project that they

323
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:04,640
can grade that corner by the um the
Chamber of Commerce. It's it's basically

324
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,520
just allowing them to grade that and it
starts the beginning of the project, it

325
00:26:06,159 --> 00:26:10,159
ends at the end of the project and
they're just paying us for that. So, I

326

would move to approve.

five, RFP audit.

329
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:31,760
» So, this was forwarded from the finance
committee. It was our recommendation

330
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:40,720
that we put an RFP out for auditing
auditing services um for the fiscal

331
00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:45,440
years 26 through 28 um the attached RFPs
with it. Uh the biggest rational is that

332
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:49,039
it's it's one of those that it's
recommended periodically just to change

333
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:55,600
up your auditor so that you have
different sets of eyes looking at it.

334
00:26:52,320 --> 00:27:02,000
Okay. I'll move to put out the RFP as
recommended by the finance committee.

335
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:06,559
» Support. Okay. Any discussion?
>> Just one question. Um, do I understand

336
00:27:03,919 --> 00:27:09,440
that in this RFP we have a little bit
more dates, so we have a little more

337
00:27:07,679 --> 00:27:10,720
teeth as far as like you get this done
at a certain time.

338
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,720
» Yeah.
>> Perfect.

339
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:21,760

340

Number six, RFP investigator invest

341
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:34,960
» investor. Sorry.
Let me pull that bone back here.

342
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:40,080
Sorry, grabbed the wrong one. Um, it was
the recommendation the finance committee

343
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:45,039
has sent forward um to pursue an RFP for
an investment firm. Um that's to assist

344
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:51,760
in taking over identifying [laughter]
benefit uh accounts um from the former

345
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:56,080
employer which we previously asked our
administrator to look into. This would

346
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:59,799
be part of that step
or part of that process.

347
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:07,360
» You make a motion.
>> Sure. I I'll move that we um accept the

348
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:12,000
RFP
accept putting out an RFP for an

349
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:14,960

the agenda uh so that we could extend

355
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:51,600
the date of accepting um RFP submitts
due to uh an issue we had getting the

356
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:56,320
grant on or the grant application on the
website. Uh I spoke with uh

357
00:28:53,919 --> 00:29:04,080
administrator Dalvo and this will not
interrupt any of our um processing any

358
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:09,360

I see the prosecutors here. If we have
any questions, we can

373
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:21,760
I thought this was a a great way to
solve a problem trying to find someone

00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:26,240
locally and being able to use the
resources that we have to connect uh

375
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:32,440
remotely and and get the work done. So,
I I thought this was a great solution to

amended.
>> I would recommend that we table this

394
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:53,931
until the next meeting. Um the Veterans
Affairs Board did meet last week. They

395
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:59,039
discussed this, but what
[cough and clears throat] came about is

396
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:05,120
that we do have um a termination from
the original adoption of the committee

397
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:11,840
and of the bylaws. But what the bylaws
are lacking are actual term limits for

398
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:16,480
newly uh appointed or renewed um uh
placement on the committee. So we need

399
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:21,679
to adjust that and we also need to
define what a vacancy is because per the

400
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:27,039
statute for that committee uh they have
very particular um requirements for how

401
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:31,519
we go out and advertise for that
committee. So we need to include that as

402
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:35,360
well in the bylaws. Um that portion of
it was not included for the Veterans

403
00:32:33,679 --> 00:32:40,320
Affairs Committee to take a look at at
their last meeting. I would just request

404
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:43,600
that we extend it until um our October
meeting so that they have a chance to

405
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,240
look at that and give a recommendation
to the board.

406
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:51,440
» That sounds good to me.
>> Yeah. I would move to table the Veteran

407
00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:55,760
Affairs Committee bylaws amendment until
after their October meeting

408
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:59,360
» September. They meet the last Thursday
in September. So your first meeting in

409
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:03,200
October, we will have a recommendation
by that time.

410
00:33:00,159 --> 00:33:06,880
» So then I'll have it for our Let me
correct that motion then. I would move

411
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:11,760
that we defer the Veteran Affairs
Committee bylaw amendment until our

00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,960

um I had a lot of fun in the fair booth.

433
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:50,079

there's a lot of information that I

434
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:54,879
think we can add for next year that we
didn't have information that people had

435
00:34:52,159 --> 00:35:00,000
asked for. So, I think that we uh can we
can just continue to improve it. Uh but

436
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:05,440
I do want to thank the employees and uh
either their friends and spouses who
