All. Opposed. Motion carried. Okay.
Before we turn it over to the road

15
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,400
department, we need to do the oath of
office for the auditor. Since she was an

16
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,400
intern. She needs to take office
immediately.

17
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,000
Could you speak please?
Sally Whan. do solemnly swear that I

18
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:38,240
will support the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitution of

19
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,880
the State of North Dakota and faithfully
discharge the duties of the office of

20
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:48,920
auditor treasurer of the county of Dunn
and the state of North Dakota to the

21
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,920
best of my ability. So, help me.

22
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:58,040
Congratulations.
Okay, now we'll turn it over to Terry

23
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,040
with the road department.

24
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:06,000
I guess we're finishing up graveling
right now and depending on weather we

25
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:13,599
might start hauling a little skoria
mowing. They got about one day left

26
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:19,360
and I guess I don't know the other thing
I wanted to bring up is the 103rd Avenue

27
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:24,000
on the east side of Kilder there. The
pavement's marked at 35 and the city was

28
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,840
talking maybe we could go to 45 on that.
So, I guess I don't know if you guys

29
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:33,680
want to entertain a motion to do that
pending the city's results.

30
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:38,959
I think that's a good idea.
I move that we follow whatever the city

31
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,120
sets for a speed limit on 103rd off of
200.

32
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:43,360
Is there a second?
Second.

33
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:49,120
Motion made by Commissioner Pelton,
second by Commissioner Marsh to set the

34
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:53,680
speed limit on 103rd uh following uh the
city's recommendation.

35
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,000
Any discussion? Any discussion? Hearing
none. All in favor say I.

36
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,120
I.
All opposed. Motion carried.

37
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:05,480
I guess we can move on to the engineers.

38
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:19,239
Morning.
Morning. Should be fairly brief for you

39
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:19,239
guys today. um

40
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:28,159
uh the 86th Avenue and 82nd Avenue
projects uh kind of in the same well I

41
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:32,560
guess they're not really in similar
conditions at 86th Avenue we're we're

42
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:37,519
trying to work with Shipo to uh see what
we have for an avenue going forward. Uh

43
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,959
92nd Avenue
um that is planned for 2025

44
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,480
construction. We do have the permit for
that project. We're currently working on

45
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:49,360
easements
uh for that roadway. So, we just need to

46
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:55,040
get those wrapped up this winter and out
for bid. Uh 100th Avenue uh permit has

47
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,879
been secured on that. We do I do have a
few meetings set up to finalize the

48
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:04,480
easements over the next couple weeks. Uh
do expect to have this wrapped up soon

49
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:08,799
as well. Planning for 2025 construction.
Uh I started putting together

50
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:13,439
advertising for uh December meeting
potentially uh depending on how these

51
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:18,720
last uh easement meetings go with land
owners.

52
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:23,360
Uh 12th Street and 16th Street, the
grading designs are are pretty much

53
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:29,440
complete on those. We do have a couple
cultural sites that we're working around

54
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:34,800
uh on those as well. So that'll be
another topic of discussion with shipo

55
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:40,160
and I can get a sit down with them.
Uh we have been we'll start working on

56
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,040
those easements as well as we progress
through that.

57
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:52,960
Any questions so far
on the 2025 projects uh 20th Street,

58
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:56,320
86th and 9th and 98th Avenue. We uh did
get all the field surveys done this

59
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:00,000
summer including the cultural and
wetland. We are working through the

60
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,320
grading designs on all those projects
and made some good progress so far. Um

61
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,840
we're going to begin evaluating our
disturbances and impacts to

62
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:14,280
environmental and cultural sites.
Any question on any of the design

63
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:14,280
projects

64
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:22,080
the construction golf course road
project uh that work has all been

65
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:28,080
completed. We did do a final inspection
back in on October 24th. Uh the fencing

66
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,560
work has begun on the project. They are
working on the north side of the road

67
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:37,520
early this week. Um with the weather,
they've they've held off now the last

68
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:41,120
couple days. Uh they intend to finish
this year, but that'll all depend on the

69
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:46,160
weather if they can get the fencing
done. Um and they're working through

70
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,560
that with the land owners. So, no
surprises there.

71
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:56,080
Uh the final estimate is out in the
contractor's hands still currently. So,

72
00:05:52,880 --> 00:06:00,000
uh, they're waiting on, um, uh, some
review from their subcontractors on

73
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,039
their work. So, they did not get that
back to us in time to get on this

74
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,440
meeting, but he assured me that he would
have it, uh, approved prior to the next

75
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:14,720
meeting so we can get that final payment
made and close out that project. So,

76
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:22,360
uh, there's about $150,000 remaining,
which is mostly just retainage. So,

77
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,360
any questions on that?

78
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,360
Thank you. Thank you very much.

79
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,560
Morning.
I also have some brief updates for

80
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,560
everyone.

81
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Can begin with Second Street Northwest
and 84th Avenue Northwest. So we

82
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:58,240
conducted a final inspection on 11124.
We had members of Greytech Barland West

83
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:02,639
and Dun County road department and road
portfolio holder of the commission

84
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,400
project was generally accepted. We did
come up with some punch list items that

85
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:11,360
were relatively minor. Had some rock
picking and some additional seating etc.

86
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:15,840
Um, with that said, we've compiled a
semifinal pay request number 10 and

87
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,840
recommend payment in the amount of
$588,43368.

88
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,639
We are still holding 2% retainage until
completion of the punch list items.

89
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:39,400
Mr. Mr. Chairman, I move that we pay uh
the estimate number 10 on the second

90
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,400
84th amount of 588,433.68

91
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:44,000
to Greytech.
Is there a second?

92
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:49,120
Second. Motion made by Commissioner
Pelton, second by Commissioner Marsh to

93
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:52,680
approve pay request number 10 in the
amount of 588,433

94
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,639
and68
to Grey Tech Construction on Second

95
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:03,440
Street Northwest and 84th Avenue
Northwest. Any discussion?

96
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,800
Any discussion? Hearing none, roll call
vote.

97
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:06,400
Commissioner Marsh,
yes.

98
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,160
Commissioner Dall,
yes.

99
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,680
Commissioner Pilton, yes. Commissioner
Boer,

100
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:16,160
yes.
And Mr. Chairman, you do have those in

101
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:22,000
your what I
on. So the 2024 projects

102
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:26,879
117th Avenue Southwest is complete and
off the list. 14th Street Southwest, we

103
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:32,240
had a pre-construction meeting on that
same day, 11124 with Schwarz. Um there

104
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:36,880
was a tragedy out there. The foreman of
their box sculver crew passed on a

105
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:41,680
different job that week. So it's kind of
left them strategizing and reorganizing

106
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:45,200
for the installation of this box. If you
guys recall, they wanted to get that box

107
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,560
covered in here. I'm not sure what this
weather's going to do, but that is still

108
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,399
the plan and we still have proceeded
accordingly. Uh we've st temporary

109
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,000
fencing out there and working with land
owners and the fencer. It's brown

110
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,360
fencing and we're proceeding as they're
still going to attempt to install the

111
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:04,560
box this year, but uh we haven't heard
differently, but again that that passing

112
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:07,839
of their box cover for this kind of let
them scramble to figure out how they're

113
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:13,519
going to get it done.
Um, next item on 119th Avenue Southwest.

114
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:18,160
Uh, we collected right away a while ago.
That's all been filed. U, we've been

115
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:23,279
waiting for responses on utilities out
there. Right now, we're down to McKenzie

116
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:28,480
Electric Consolidated and and Marathon.
Vince was here. McKenzie last commission

117
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:32,240
meeting getting permits. I asked him
again about that and thought we were

118
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,959
going to get something. I still have not
gotten anything. consolidated said that

119
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,200
um they were supposed to they're really
busy right now and as soon as snow snow

120
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:46,640
flies or they get freeze up they can
address it thinking maybe that'll be

121
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:52,000
today um or at least get the process
started but they just haven't been very

122
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:55,040
responsive any of these three remaining
we're pushing to hear back from them

123
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,399
we've got plans ready to go but it
doesn't really pay to to bid this thing

124
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:03,200
until they actually give us their input
in case any redesign is required but uh

125
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:08,600
once we get that we want advertising
this thing. So, any questions on 119th?

126
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:16,160
Okay. Last but not certainly least, 99th
Avenue Southwest. So, we're about 90%

127
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:22,000
complete on those plans and we've been
struggling with cultural items out

128
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:25,440
there. Um, so the DOT also has a major
project on Highway 200 and struggled

129
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,839
with the same items, culturally
sensitive items and mainly tribal

130
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:33,200
culturally sensitive items, but they had
to come up with and they were on hold.

131
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,680
We just talked with some here the other
week. Um, basically any of those

132
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,160
culturally sensitive areas, they were
allowed to just put fill dirt on top of

133
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:46,240
it and not do any excavation. That may
be a way to proceed with that in order

134
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,519
to get clearance or to get cultural to
sign off on that. I've got some

135
00:10:48,079 --> 00:10:52,320
preliminary plans if anybody's
interested. And I kind of started

136
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:58,000
discussions with the road department
yesterday about it. The only downside is

137
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:02,000
it require requires borrow because we
have balanced design that they're not

138
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,360
signing off on or having given us go
ahead. So that would that would mean

139
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:08,320
having a borrow source and then putting
borrowed dirt on top of any of the

140
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,839
culturally sold sensitive areas and
that's what the DOT has done. But we'll

141
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,200
have more discussions with the road
department and see if that's the way you

142
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,200
want to see
questions.

143
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:25,040
Okay, moving along. Uh for Manning,
we're still navigating through the

144
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:29,440
easement process with Southwest.
I think we're going to get somewhere on

145
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:33,279
that. Um
that means Terry has to bring donuts

146
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,800
next meeting.
Good.

147
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,279
So, uh we've got we're trying to get
schedule some more meetings with

148
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:44,560
Southwest representatives. There's been
some holdups on their end, but uh once

149
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:50,640
we navigate through that, I think it
should should go pretty quick. Um,

150
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:54,399
moving on to our 2025 projects, uh, both
Seventh Street project and Third Street

151
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:58,000
projects. Same update on all those.
Everything is moving forward and

152
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:00,720
progressing with with no major hiccups
yet to this point. Trying to get to a

153
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:06,639
point where we can start collecting
right away out there. So,

154
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:11,079
any questions on anything?
All right. Thank you all. Thank you.

155
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:24,800
Mr. Chairman, commissioners, good
morning.

156
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:28,480
Good morning.
Like to start off with our construction

157
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:32,880
project.
Uh final walkthrough took place on

158
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:36,560
Thursday, November 14th.
We are awaiting confirmation from the

159
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,560
contractor on erosion control items and
we'll have the final estimate prepared

160
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:43,200
for the December 4th commission meeting.
They actually got back to me this

161
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,880
morning and said that everything was
good. So, we'll be good to go in two

162
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:51,680
weeks.
Any questions on that one?

163
00:12:50,079 --> 00:12:58,040
It looks good.
Thanks. I think so. Contractor was

164
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,040
great.

165
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:06,399
109th. Uh, little movement. Easing
documents are currently in review by the

166
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:11,040
two major businesses on the route. We
did receive an access agreement template

167
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:14,560
from one of those businesses which is in
review.

168
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,639
Once they comply, we'll revisit the
residents

169
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:24,560
uh pushing our targeted bid date of
December 18th, two months to February

170
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:27,959
19th, 2025 in hopes that we can continue
good communication.

171
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:36,000
On 27th,
we're told that the deed of the one

172
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,279
remaining property is now split and
we're just days away from being able to

173
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:43,839
confirm that and they get it all
recorded. Both parties are in favor of

174
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,920
the project.
Core approval should also be only days

175
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:52,480
away. However, if it's not received
within the next week, we'll be forced to

176
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:59,320
push our bid date from December 18th
into the new year.

177
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,320
Any questions on those two?

178
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:05,440
Okay, on to 82nd South. Finishing
touches are taking place on plan

179
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:09,920
production. Temp easement descriptions
are being finalized with some minor

180
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:14,800
revisions. We had to adjust some
approaches, so we have to adjust our

181
00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:18,720
temp easement. We have submitted the
core, been working with them on review.

182
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,600
Bid opening is still currently targeted
for February 5th.

183
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,240
And north segment
corridor design continues for this

184
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:32,720
project. designers are sizing pipe,
placing approaches and working on

185
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:38,560
wetland mitigation.
We have targeted a core application

186
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:42,680
submitt date of November 27th with a bid
date of March 19th.

187
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,680
Any questions on any second or anything
else?

188
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,920
Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks, Jim.

189
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:55,399
Morning

190
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,320
commissioners.
Good morning.

191
00:15:03,199 --> 00:15:12,720
Got a couple uh final
estimates to present.

192
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:19,440
Um starting with Seventh Street uh being
built by Martin Construction. We have uh

193
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:26,519
prepared pay estimate number 17.
It's the final pay estimate.

194
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,519
Um the amount is $21,768

195
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:36,000
which we would recommend uh payment to
Martin Construction for that project.

196
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:41,839
Mr. Chairman, I move that we uh pay pay
estimate number 77

197
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,839
to Martin Construction in the amount of
21,768.

198
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,040

00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,759

This one is number seven. Uh the amount

207
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:22,519
is $25,6468

208
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,279
which would be payable to Jensen
Brothers Construction.

209
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Mr. Chairman, I move that we pay pay
estimate number seven on 110th Avenue in

210
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:38,920
the amount of $25,6468

211
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:45,040
to Jensen Brothers Construction. Is
there a second?

212
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,279
Second.
Motion made by Commissioner Pelton,

213
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:54,519
second by Commissioner Dozel to approve
uh pay estimate number seven in the

214
00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:54,519
amount of $25,6468

Yes. Commissioner Pelton? Yes.
Commissioner

219
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:14,480
Yes. Motion carried.
So, the other project that's uh under

220
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:20,319
active construction, the construction's
complete, but we'll still have to uh

221
00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:24,559
have one more pass for 114th Avenue.
That'll be presented at at next meeting.

222
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:28,319
We're still resolving some quantities,
but the construction's done and it's

223
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:32,799
been approved. We just need to final the
quantities, but that'll be done at the

224
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,919
next meeting. Um, same with the seal
coat. The project's done. We're just

225
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:40,320
working with the DOT on their final
documents. As far as design projects,

226
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:46,799
I'll kind of lump them together. We're
getting easements and core permits. Um

227
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:51,120
this week, I think we got um so far this
week, I think we got seven parcels

228
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:54,880
signed up on different projects and
three or four more parcels pending. So,

229
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,600
I think we're making pretty good
progress on easements. There's always

230
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:05,280
going to be um some that are a little
more difficult than others, but so far

231
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:10,000
it's it's going fairly well um on the
different projects. So, um I think at

232
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:17,280
the next meeting I'll try to assign some
target dates for um bid opening times or

233
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:21,600
dates, but right now we're just a little
uncertain on some of these core permits,

234
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:29,120
but I think by next meeting we'll sign
some target dates for bid opening dates.

235
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:33,559
Any questions on anything?
Thank you very much.

236
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,559
Okay, thanks

237
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:41,160
Jerry. Do we have utility permits?
No, there's no utility permits this

238
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,160
time.

239
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,880
And that's it with the road. No.
Okay. Thank you. Sally, do you want to

240
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,840
kind of go through the list here of an
election update first?

241
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:56,640
Sure. I just wanted to give you an
update on election. We did have our

242
00:18:53,520 --> 00:19:01,760
canvas board on Monday. Um they did um
confirm the election and certify. So

243
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:07,280
those um official election results are
on our website and they will be posted

244
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:12,720
in next Wednesday's paper. Got that
taken care of. Um all the um

245
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:17,919
postelection audits have been done and
we are balanced. So I just want to give

246
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:20,640
everybody an update on that.
Um the first commission meeting in

247
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,919
January
and I just wanted to let you guys know

248
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:30,320
that um the 1 of January is Wednesday.
So, I just wanted you guys to be

249
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,600
thinking about um the the first meeting
since we're closed that day. Um, of

250
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:39,360
course, we don't have to make any
decisions today, but it'll have to be

251
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:42,640
either after um Thursday or Friday or
it'll have to be the following Monday

252
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:49,440
that we do that first commission meeting
of the year. So, just keep that in mind.

253
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:54,799
We might as well decide now. Um, you
think Thursday, the date next day?

254
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:58,240
It's fine with me. Second
a motion to do that.

255
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:04,640
Probably.
I move that we switch the first meeting

256
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,559
in January to January 2nd 9:00 a.m.
There. Second.

257
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:11,039
Second.
Motion made by Commissioner Pelton,

258
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:18,080
second by Commissioner Dozel to uh move
the January 1st meeting to January 2nd

259
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:21,600
at 9:00 a.m. Any discussion? Any
discussion? Hearing hearing? None. All

260
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:26,600
in favor say I.
I. All opposed. Motion carried.

261
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:33,000
We want to the extension office
statements.

262
00:20:36,159 --> 00:20:46,159
Okay. So, in the past years, we have
given the two extension agents a stipend

263
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:51,120
to bring their um
salaries up to what they would be if

264
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:58,240
they were a Dun County employee. This is
a practice done by most counties um with

265
00:20:54,159 --> 00:21:04,720
extension agents. So, um I I we don't
have any numbers yet. Um Jim Gray just

266
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:09,320
contacted me and asked me if we um would
like to continue that throughout 2025

267
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:15,600
and then we will have some numbers to to
approve

268
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,840
maybe. So, we don't have numbers. It's
like a consensus that or do you want a

269
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:24,000
motion?
So Jim is asking that if we're going to

270
00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:29,200
continue,
right, if we're going to continue to

271
00:21:25,679 --> 00:21:32,159
give um Chris and Kirsten stipens,
but we don't know the numbers.

272
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:36,400
We do not know the numbers. He wanted to
know get the consensus first if you guys

273
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:43,080
wanted to do it and then he will come up
with the final numbers.

274
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,080
Yeah, I I think so. I mean, I agree.

275
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:49,520
And then we would we would just enter
into theou and approve that.

276
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,640
Yes. Correct. What are everybody else's
thoughts?

277
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:58,919
I'm fine.
Yeah, we're going to need to continue.

278
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,919
Okay, I agree.

279
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Um Will, is it too early or are you
ready?

280
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Okay.

281
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:25,799
Thank you.

282
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:40,080
Good morning.
Good morning.

283
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:47,039
Morning.
All right, Mr. Chairman and Commission.

284
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:52,320
Um, I apologize in advance if this
kind of doesn't make sense or if it

285
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:59,039
needs clarification. I tried my best to
kind of explain what I'm I'm here

286
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:04,240
proposing and why I'm proposing it. Um,
we've talked throughout the year about a

287
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:12,799
possible restructure in my building and
grounds department. Um this is kind of a

288
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:19,600
generalized uh direction and basically
how I'll start this is by saying the

289
00:23:16,159 --> 00:23:25,840
building of grounds over the past
8 to 10 years has seen exponential

290
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:30,799
growth and demand in what its scope of
work has been. So obviously it was a

291
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:38,640
department of one and now it's a
department of four and we are looking to

292
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:43,520
have a clear structure moving forward.
Um and

293
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:50,480
it's basically growing pains of a
growing department and this is my uh

294
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:55,760
proposal to move forward with a clear
hierarchy of how this uh department

295
00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:01,840
could be structured based on your
approval. So, uh, backing up just a bit,

296
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:07,120
uh, one of the roles that and
responsibilities that has kind of come

297
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:11,840
to the forefront, um, that that that
isn't traditionally something that we

298
00:24:09,679 --> 00:24:19,360
would do in the building and grounds is
handling park board park business. Um

299
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:26,159
it's it's something that the park board
and I as as um a park board member have

300
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:31,440
discussed and we came up with the
conclusion that it wouldn't it would be

301
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:37,360
a good move if I resigned from the park
board and became more of a um director

302
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:42,559
of parks. That's the recommendation of
the park board to move forward. Um, I

303
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:48,960
would still be the building and ground
supervisor, but we're looking to house

304
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:55,200
the administrative work, the work that
is done with the different agencies that

305
00:24:51,600 --> 00:25:00,480
handle um park board business,
the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US

306
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:06,559
Fish and Wildlife, a liaison, and
somebody to handle meeting minutes, uh,

307
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:11,279
agenda, that kind of thing, handle the
administrative work that was being

308
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:15,679
handled. by a separate department prior
to now and that's kind of not in their

309
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,799
scope of work anymore. So there is a
need for that. That's the first thing.

310
00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:30,960
Um the second thing is um there's always
been a need where we're currently

311
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:36,559
staffed completely busy. Our current
um group of people that are working in

312
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:40,720
my department are are are busy. And if
anybody is gone in that current

313
00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:46,000
structure, it makes it very difficult
and it's a quite a strain. Um, so

314
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:50,400
basically to come back to the proposal
and what I handed out, the current

315
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:55,760
structure is obviously building and
grounds and then I dictate and oversee

316
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:59,679
the department as a whole. Okay, so
there's two janitorial workers and a

317
00:25:57,919 --> 00:26:05,520
maintenance assistant currently that are
full-time. Um, I kind of go through some

318
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:09,600
of the important points on this. um you
know basically there's issues if you

319
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:16,320
look at this hierarchy in the current
structure with if I'm gone or if um one

320
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:21,039
of the other people are gone it really
does impact what we're able to

321
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:25,520
accomplish as a department. So in the
proposed hierarchy

322
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:29,520
what I'm what I'm proposing and one of
the requests that was made is that I

323
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:35,039
come up with a kind of generalized what
would my department look like if we were

324
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:41,919
to restructure it. So currently um my
plan for a a hierarchy is to have two

325
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:47,919
separate groups janitorial and
maintenance and have a lead in each of

326
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:52,799
those almost a supervisory role where
they take over certain aspects of the

327
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:57,840
building grounds department with
maintenance and janitorial and I still

328
00:26:55,120 --> 00:27:04,240
supervise but also act as park director
to fill in for some of those um needs

329
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:09,120
from the park department. My ultimate
goal is to continue to grow the park

330
00:27:05,919 --> 00:27:14,080
department and I think if that is going
to be part of the the goals moving

331
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:20,080
forward, there needs to be a clear
person in charge of that area. So that's

332
00:27:18,159 --> 00:27:25,760
those are some of the key things that I
wanted to point out. Um I do have some

333
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:31,520
budget impacts for the new proposal. Um
it will increase department payroll. Um,

334
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:36,640
that was, you know, and and I do want to
back up too. This is something that I've

335
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:39,840
had in the works for a while, but we've
all kind of had to wait and see what the

336
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:45,440
election results were going to be before
I came to you and proposed something

337
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:50,320
that would may may require, you know,
um, changing of the budget and I didn't

338
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:57,840
want to do that with the election and
possible changing of things in general.

339
00:27:53,360 --> 00:28:04,240
Um, so um, increased department payroll.
um there would be an increase in hourly

340
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:09,520
uh wage based on the janitorial lead and
maintenance lead moving up into a higher

341
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:16,000
pay scale. I met with Desessie um and if
it means anything to you A13 and B21

342
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:22,320
would be where those new positions would
land on the uh pay scale. Okay, so I

343
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:26,880
have done that much. Um, I kind of know
where that that falls, but I haven't

344
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:31,120
haven't put any actual hard numbers
because I wanted to discuss this with

345
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:37,840
you, see if this was something that the
commission would be in favor of. Um,

346
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:41,360
also, uh, hiring an additional full-time
maintenance tech to assist the

347
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:46,720
maintenance lead would be my
recommendation. Um and then uh giving uh

348
00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:52,399
the maintenance lead authority to take
home a county vehicle similar to what I

349
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:57,600
have authority to do. Um just in the off
chance that if they're going to be the

350
00:28:55,679 --> 00:29:03,279
maintenance tech lead that they would
have the ability to in the case of an

351
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:08,640
emergency or whatever go from home to uh
wherever needs uh any sort of addressing

352
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:13,919
on the maintenance side of things. Um so
goals is to really provide continued

353
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:19,840
excellence uh in my department to the
county uh improve as a team uh grow the

354
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:24,159
parks department um have clear defined
goals and responsibilities in my

355
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:29,039
department um allow more time for
continued education and to retain our

356
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:32,799
current employees.
Um,

357
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:36,640
then I go kind of go through and it it's
it's clear. I don't need to go through

358
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:41,200
every point. Um, unless there are
questions. Um, but we've got 11

359
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:45,039
properties that we take care of. Um, I
have them all listed out there. Um, some

360
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:50,720
are more than others. Obviously, the
courthouse is is obviously more of a

361
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:56,399
higher responsibility than say like the
the new addatic trailer that we end up

362
00:29:53,440 --> 00:30:01,760
taking care of from time to time. So, it
it's I guess it's all relative, but um I

363
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:08,559
kind of go through some generalized
responsibilities for each of the new

364
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:16,720
areas and that really encompasses what
I'm proposing. Um I don't know how to go

365
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:21,360
about a motion if you guys are wanting
to move forward with a decision like

366
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:27,799
this, but I'm open to questions and I
hope it all makes clear sense. Any

367
00:30:24,799 --> 00:30:27,799
questions?

368
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:36,080
How many more people are you looking at
adding right now?

369
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:40,720
Just just one. Just one. Uh one
full-time um maintenance assistant. And

370
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:46,720
we had kind of talked about that in my
budget. I actually proposed this for a

371
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:50,799
possible full-time or part-time person.
Um, so it has been approved in my

372
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:57,600
budget, but
um, I wanted to give you a clear

373
00:30:54,799 --> 00:31:01,919
um, outline of what my goals are and
what my thoughts are with the department

374
00:30:59,919 --> 00:31:06,880
without getting into real real
specifics. I wanted to to kind of show

375
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:10,720
you what my thoughts were as best I
could on paper. And if they if they

376
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:15,679
don't make sense, I apologize. So
So the janitorial lead and maintenance

377
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:20,399
lead that would be going to a different
p uh on the pay scale.

378
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,559
Yes. They would basically what I'm
looking to do is

379
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:32,000
on your on your sheet is that your
janitorial worker or the department

380
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:36,240
which sheet are you looking at?
Nothing.

381
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:41,519
And like I said, I'm sorry.
So So the bottom two people on the list

382
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,679
would go higher in the pay scale.
No. No.

383
00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:49,440
Second.
No. the the the the leads would would

384
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:53,440
end up becoming more of a supervisory
role.

385
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:58,559
And and what I'm really looking to do is
give the maintenance and the janitorial

386
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:03,360
a
a point of contact besides myself,

387
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:07,360
right? Um if there's something wrong
with the buildings, will I still be

388
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:14,080
involved? Absolutely. But I'm looking to
have more than one person as a point of

389
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:20,240
contact so that if in the case that I or
who whoever is gone, it it provides more

390
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:26,640
than one person to be able to handle the
work that needs to be done. It also

391
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:32,640
really improves our secession plan um by
spreading the supervisory

392
00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:36,640
um role a little bit besides just
myself.

393
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:42,760
I think it it it definitely gives more
people some power to make decisions in

394
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,760
the case of people being absent.

395
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:49,840
Any other questions?
Mr. Chairman, well, thanks for putting

396
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:54,559
all this together.
Very good job.

397
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:59,919
um part of the the lead maintenance
tech. Are we talking

398
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:04,240
besides the title tech? We're talking
tech as far as it helping with that sort

399
00:33:03,679 --> 00:33:07,039
of thing.
Well, I mean tech was just the work I

400
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,279
know.
Yeah. It's just a it's just a it's a

401
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:15,360
working title to try and explain the
best we could because it you can only

402
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:19,840
have so much like supervisor, director,
lead, you know what I mean? So that

403
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:25,679
that's a way of basically giving them a
title of ownership. But go ahead.

404
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:32,080
But my question is would that person be
able to assist us with the some of the

405
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:36,799
IT things that we we definitely need
some help in this building? Well, across

406
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:39,600
the buildings,
apartments

407
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:44,320
and that's something that has evolved. I
mean in six months ago I will tell you

408
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:49,039
honestly no, that was never part of the
deal. But now that we've got a person

409
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:54,640
that's got some experience in that,
I definitely see that being

410
00:33:51,519 --> 00:34:01,919
housed under our umbrella of department
is being able to assist. And it's just

411
00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:07,039
it's slowly kind of taken shape. And the
that's the other justification for me

412
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:14,879
looking to hire an assistant in
maintenance is because if the lead is

413
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:19,599
handling IT stuff and and different um
wearing many different hats, that's the

414
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:23,359
that's the the crux of this department
is there's many different hats that

415
00:34:21,919 --> 00:34:28,079
somebody has to wear and you have to
find very good individuals and this is

416
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:32,399
also a way for me to try and retain
those individuals that are valuable to

417
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:38,240
the county. So yes, to answer your
question, uh, Commissioner Dozal is is

418
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:41,800
it yes, I see that being part of the
scope of responsibility.

419
00:34:52,320 --> 00:35:00,000
Mr. Chairman, I
I I kind of like the proposal he's put

420
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:08,560
forth. I don't know if
the rest of you want to, you know,

421
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:14,480
consider it further um or um have Will
and Desessie um put together some of the

422
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:20,240
the costs or impacts and bring it back
to us at the next meeting.

423
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:25,119
Yeah, I I'm not against it, but I'd like
to know more about it and kind of know

424
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:31,599
where the numbers are going to be at
that.

425
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:37,040
Yeah, I I I know that
there is without getting into specifics,

426
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:43,520
there will be an increase in hourly
based on the the what does she call it

427
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:48,320
the DVM or DBM model.
So, there are some of those things and I

428
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:54,000
and she gave me those numbers and if we
need to flesh out exact numbers, I'm I'm

429
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:58,560
okay with that. Um, I will say that I I
I know we're in the midst of a new year.

430
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:02,800
I know we're in the midst of a different
commission taken. I the reason I'm here,

431
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:07,839
I would have been here the day after the
election, but I felt like that was too

432
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:12,320
soon. Um, so I gave it a couple, you
know, two weeks, but I'm really looking

433
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:18,079
for direction here. I know I will
provide direction to my department, but

434
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:22,720
I would like to have my proposal either
approved or or not simply from the

435
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:26,960
standpoint of that my department needs
to have a goal or outlook moving

436
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:32,880
forward. So, I don't want to push
anybody, but I do want you to understand

437
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:42,400
that I'm really looking to run with this
January 1st and and start with this in

438
00:36:37,839 --> 00:36:47,520
mind. I'm not I'm I'm not sure if hiring
a full-time employee right away. I don't

439
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:51,760
see myself doing that, but at least
having a framework to where when I talk

440
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:56,480
to my employees and say this is where
we're headed that that it's approved and

441
00:36:54,079 --> 00:37:02,560
that that because I I've hinted at this
for six months and I I really would like

442
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:05,680
to have a clear answer if if if
possible.

443
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:10,960
Yeah. Like I said, I'm not against you.
just got to absorb it and and try to you

444
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:16,240
got to know the numbers too. So like
just the the the

445
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:22,560
texts or the the two leads are going to
go up in wages. Is yours going to change

446
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:26,560
that? I didn't even Desessie was um she
was right before she was leaving. She

447
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:30,400
did this kind of as a favor to run
through the DMV to kind of get an idea

448
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:35,440
because I didn't know where we were
going to fall. Haven't even looked at

449
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:39,760
where I'm at. haven't even and in fact
I'm I'm okay if I stay where I'm at. I

450
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,760
just simply want
it's part of the equation. We got to

451
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,920
know
true 100%.

452
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,359
You know what I mean? That's kind of
what the numbers game like.

453
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,400
What does that do to your department?
Does everybody I mean like how did your

454
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,359
kind of changing structure of it?
Exactly. And that's

455
00:37:53,280 --> 00:38:00,400
not saying it's bad but you got to know
the details small details.

456
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:07,760
Agreed. And that that's really why I'm
here too is to be transparent about what

457
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:11,520
my goals are and to get a clear
framework laid out. So

458
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:17,760
what is everybody else's thoughts
Mr. Chairman? So we did put into your

459
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:21,520
budget was approved for an additional
person already. Right.

460
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:25,680
Correct. Right. So if if that is
something, you know, depending on how

461
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:29,520
how things go, like you mentioned, it
may not be something we do right away,

462
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:36,400
right?
And see how things go. The money is

463
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:42,079
there for these adjustments um already.
and whether we decide to go with an

464
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:50,320
additional person, you know, say in four
or five months when whatever

465
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:56,079
um by by doing this um changing the the
structure to the lead text and their um

466
00:38:53,359 --> 00:39:03,520
DBM changing
that money is already in his budget.

467
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:06,480
So, um I guess you know I'm fine with
waiting till the next meeting and and I

468
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,760
guess one other thing I wanted to say
when you talk about the election you're

469
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,560
talking about measure four
measure four

470
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,680
that was aund if measure four wouldn't
have been on the table and there

471
00:39:13,839 --> 00:39:21,359
wouldn't have been
real risk at the at the county level

472
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:26,079
being changed 100% and then me adding
another wrench and I would never have

473
00:39:24,079 --> 00:39:34,560
waited this long. I would have put this
forth way before that. But yeah,

474
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:40,480
you know, and the way I I I see it is
when we really ramp up and there's a

475
00:39:37,599 --> 00:39:46,640
demand on time for the maintenance
department is when the grass starts

476
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:51,920
really, really growing. So June, July,
those guys have always been on a mower.

477
00:39:49,359 --> 00:39:57,119
Well, with two mowers, that definitely
changes their work. And so I probably

478
00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:04,240
wouldn't move forward with that second
maintenance person until,

479
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:09,040
you know, summer, spring, and maybe that
person is a seasonal until I find the

480
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:13,359
right person because if I open it and
there's not the right fit, I don't want

481
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:20,480
to hire someone until I find that
person. So it could be a temporary

482
00:40:15,599 --> 00:40:25,040
position or a seasonal position for
the whole next year. So, I just want to

483
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:28,240
make sure that that's clear as well.
Yeah. And again, I'm not against that

484
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:31,520
because that was in your budget, but now
you're taking everybody else and kind of

485
00:40:29,839 --> 00:40:34,160
going to different levels, right? So,
how does that look, right?

486
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:37,200
All I'm saying, I mean,
y

487
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,839
it's not a bad thing. You had somebody
else hired, but now you just want to

488
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,760
take everybody else.
Yeah.

489
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:46,640
And put structure to it.
Yep. a hierarchy of of how the

490
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:52,640
department operates and then make that
widely known so that if

491
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:58,880
another department needs assistance and
I don't pick up my phone or whatever,

492
00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:02,720
they've got contact information and they
everybody should be able to communicate

493
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,880
with one another. So,
you probably have enough money in your

494
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:06,079
budget right now.
Yes.

495
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,240
Right. Yeah,
I do. I do.

496
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:12,000
I think
I think you can go ahead and run your

497
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:16,640
Okay. Okay.
I I agree. Um it's in the it's in the

498
00:41:14,319 --> 00:41:21,119
budget now. It it would come down to
whether we feel it's justified to add

499
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:24,240
another person either seasonal or
full-time um down the road.

500
00:41:23,839 --> 00:41:30,640
Yeah.
Um I the other thing I like about this

501
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:35,280
is the succession part of it. That's
something in our strategic plan and

502
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:38,560
we've all agreed that's important and we
should have that and

503
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:42,480
to have the right person to be able to
step in in case

504
00:41:40,319 --> 00:41:47,599
um you decide to go to work at
McDonald's or something.

505
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:53,760
I know I know it has been a risk.
Yeah. I think too if if uh that gives

506
00:41:51,200 --> 00:42:01,200
you you have a fairly new person on so
that gives you time to adjust where that

507
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:06,000
person best fits your situation. So you
know 3 months from now when

508
00:42:03,599 --> 00:42:08,240
you need a seasonal person or whatever
that gives you some time to adjust all

509
00:42:07,839 --> 00:42:12,800
that.
Yeah. Yep. Yep. It does. And and the

510
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:19,119
other thing too is it provides a
framework that maybe in the near future

511
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:23,760
there's a need for an you know who knows
what the additional impact may or may

512
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:29,040
not be at least there's a hierarchy of
where those that person may fit in this

513
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:34,560
current setup instead of just we need
another person well in what way and what

514
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:40,520
in what avenue do they fit. This helps
kind of delineate that very very a lot

515
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,520
more clear.

516
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:46,960
Mr. Yeah. Um I think do we need a motion
right now or just

517
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:52,160
I think you can just go ahead and run
ahead. He's got the money there. Yeah.

518
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:57,760
Okay. And as far as like the park um the
park board um I know that they'll

519
00:42:54,400 --> 00:43:03,440
probably be we felt like if I'm going to
be acting as answering to the park board

520
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:08,560
and having their marching orders so to
speak um even though I'm I was a park

521
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:14,079
board member me stepping down and and
filling that with another person

522
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:19,440
starting in January that's so as long as
we're covered by that like it doesn't

523
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:25,680
require a motion and then I would wear
that different um hat so to speak with

524
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:30,319
the park director. Um and that includes
handling all the basically it's it's

525
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:34,720
running the campground, handling all the
calls, run running web reserve, all the

526
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:41,440
the other things that are involved in
that that were being handled by someone

527
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:48,079
else that you know now falls on us. So,
as long as everybody's aware of that and

528
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:53,359
that that does impact me moving forward,
it is something that my department has

529
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:56,800
kind of enveloped. So, I just want to
make sure that that's clear and if we're

530
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:01,920
good, I'll do my thing and we'll just
continue to um do it. So,

531
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:06,680
okay. Thank you.
Thanks, Will. Yep. Sarah, are you

532
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,680

533
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:16,040
I'm pulling into the parking lot.
Oh, okay. We'll do vouchers until you

534
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,040
get here.

535
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:54,200
Do you know what the repairs to the
wheat building were for?

536
00:45:55,839 --> 00:46:02,359
500 roughly
under buildings.

537
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,599

Good morning, commission. How are you

Good.
Um, I just uh would like to come before

551
00:47:49,599 --> 00:47:58,880
you about rescending the total burn ban
requests that we had put in place first

552
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:03,760
part of October when the wildfires
went out and then revert back to the

553
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:08,880
restrictions
the restrictions as we had established

554
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:14,520
in April. So
and that is I have discussed it with the

555
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,520
fire chiefs.

556
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:23,839
questions.
Mr. Chairman, I'd move that we reser

557
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:28,559
resend our current burn ban and revert
back to the burn ban we had before we

558
00:48:27,359 --> 00:48:30,480
put that in place.
