[3:43] Five in favor of what team we have standing motion carries.

[3:48] Comments from the public in the question of future agenda items for the Board of Supervisors.

[3:53] Anything you'd like to brought up by the future, meeting not on the agenda.

[3:57] This would be the time to go over that.

[4:00] Good morning, Ms. Safel. Did you even have an address for the record?

[4:04] Margaret Haye, you know, promised to be

[4:18] immediately asked.

[4:19] These are reasons about the upcoming special use permit for advertisements if there was going to be a new commission in the plant.

[4:27] And then you went on to say that they were a dumb idea or a bad idea.

[4:33] Now, everyone that was asked the public hearing for the livestock rates per use say, I don't like decommissioning plants.

[4:43] And being a regular matente at these meetings, either that I don't like this, I don't want that.

[4:51] Since when is there an eye in the word more?

[4:55] One thing I will agree with you on, it is their last day on it.

[4:59] They ought to be able to do with it what they want.

[5:02] But when I go back and I pray to express, I know I was taught that in this country we have the freedom to do whatever we want to do

[5:11] as long as we don't harm others.

[5:15] So when some of these headphones are polluting the water

[5:18] and polluting the air, it's no longer about that it's their length.

[5:23] They are occurring others.

[5:25] And why should those others have to pay monetarily or help wise

[5:30] for the damages that are done by some of these headphones?

[5:34] So that's why maybe a deep commissioning plan

[5:38] for just jet damage, it might not be such a bad idea.

[5:42] Now, I'm going to end with this.

[5:45] Last year, Jim and I went to Philadelphia.

[5:46] We went to the American Revolution, and there was a picture

[5:52] on the wall of General William Hammond, and he had a quote,

[5:57] and that quote really stuck in the book.

[5:59] And that quote, yes, every man's private feelings

[6:03] often devised to the service of the public.

[6:06] And I think that's something that some of you on this board should think of as your private

[6:11] feelings need to be done away to the surface of the public.

[6:16] Is there anything you'd like for us to address on the future agenda?

[6:20] No, I don't really care about that.

[6:21] Thank you, Ms. Hayden.

[6:22] I needed to bring this up now since that just happened on Monday and I didn't want to wait

[6:27] in other two weeks because that's too far down the road.

[6:29] So thank you for allowing me to speak.

[6:31] Yes, thank you.

[6:32] Anyone else like to speak at public comment?

[6:37] Morning sir morning everyone. But name is Kevin Keller. I live at 1070

[6:45] Rosino, Moses Way. Few meetings ago someone here raised up their phone and said

[6:53] this is the reason we need dad as much. I won't argue with that. I think that's probably true.

[7:00] But you know I also have a car which I'm trying to move towards and they use oil.

[7:08] And you know what, I don't want to live by or follow it or find it really important, I don't

[7:11] want to live by a data set.

[7:14] So we really need to think about the impact of those my brain using.

[7:22] And I will deny the necessity for data set, for what I do to ask you to consider.

[7:30] One of the greatest decisions was published in June 2017.

[7:33] And the one that included of both the police have adopted.

[7:41] The allocated decisions I said that were the previous opening.

[7:44] In my opinion, you should be located in previews, leads, phone and industrial areas.

[7:50] Where there are over any large buildings. Lots of noise, lots of lights, lots of traffic and community response,

[7:59] there's a lot of testing.

[8:00] Thank you very much. Thank you, sir.

[8:04] Anyone else from the public like to bring something up to bring up with a future meeting?

[8:09] Public comment. Morning, Mr. Adamicker.

[8:14] Would you please give your name and address for the record?

[8:17] I'm sorry, I may go on 92, 47, the South Times 6-go of atoms.

[8:23] Thank you, ma'am.

[8:25] I just got a sign of the school.

[8:32] You were, we're, we're counting on you every time the South is moved.

[8:37] And I think one thing that was made by, quite recently,

[8:42] some of the two that many of us are feeling right now.

[8:47] And I'm going to read it to the constituent that I heard it says.

[8:54] I'm out of your tipsing, all four members today, and I got this yesterday.

[9:00] Because only one head of knowledge gave you my email that was sent to all of any yesterday.

[9:04] One board member and a minute, I don't look at my computer.

[9:08] Which I'm interested to me, doesn't read any of these emails.

[9:15] It just seems that I know that those who do many of them have put in childless knowledge

[9:22] and encourage input.

[9:25] But here's something like this, only solidifies what many here in the community are feeling

[9:32] that all these meetings and all the public meetings that you have are just a criminal

[9:37] It's just a moment, but it's a moment that's a moment that you probably need to mind up.

[9:43] And,

[9:46] fortunately, one of your votes has the same weight and you put it in the time,

[9:55] but for you too, you have already made your mind up a long time ago regardless of all the information that's out there.

[10:04] And I don't know how to pronounce his last name, but it's totally, I can spell his last name.

[10:13] But he is the co-founder of the, he made technology and for the donation.

[10:19] And he said, we have got to say that on this.

[10:23] Is it China?

[10:24] And he said, we have got to come together.

[10:27] But all of that, the AOM things are coming out, he said, they are pretty good to humans in

[10:37] danger.

[10:39] And it's just that kind of information.

[10:40] It's not being willing to take you too much, but find out more than anything that the

[10:47] statements that basically,

[10:51] you know, people are sending, and to keep hearing that there's a lot

[10:55] I don't see it, I mean, if there's misinformation out there, I would be willing to read it and take the time that defined out a way to bring out the information that supports what we want to do with that sense that's all I have.

[11:13] Thank you, ma'am. Is there anyone else in the audience that likes to speak about what's coming? Good morning.

[11:19] I'm

[11:23] Erin May, I live at a lot of the 70th Crail Front Circle, first.

[11:32] I live approximately two aisles from the proposed natural map and data center site.

[11:38] This isn't an abstract economic development discussion group, this is my home, my property, my community.

[11:47] I'm asking this board to vote guests on the 18 month or four rounds and I'm asking you that they need that 18 months count.

[11:55] Before you vote, I want to go on record with you questions.

[12:00] First on proximity, I understand that this foreign has responsibility to consider the interest of the entire county.

[12:07] But I believe proximity matters. The people who have closed this to this project,

[12:12] those that experience the noise, the traffic, the water demands, the admissions,

[12:18] and the changes in daily life in a way that's different from those you don't.

[12:22] I'd ask this board to weigh that different seriously as you consider regulations for data centers.

[12:31] Second, I want to know that this board considers the ruptuable source of research.

[12:36] We've repeatedly heard information from residents described as misinformation.

[12:41] And the board is going to dismiss research that they then residents deserve to know what research do you consider credible?

[12:51] What methodology are you using to evaluate it? Does the board have the expertise to interpret

[12:58] quantitative data, assess statistical significance, under CM's methodology, and identify conflicts

[13:06] of interest in studies funded by interested parties? Staying so keen that is misinformation

[13:13] is not the same as demonstrating that it's false. I also asked the board to be precise about

[13:20] of these specific.

[13:22] Governor-pilens executive order,

[13:24] pausing, imagine act tax incentives for data centers

[13:27] is not a change in the state law.

[13:29] It's a directive state agencies to not approve new incentives.

[13:34] It can be reversed by this administration,

[13:37] or future one without a single vote.

[13:40] Nebraska data centers have already received

[13:42] and estimated 519 million of property tax exemptions state wide.

[13:48] So as the county considers regulations,

[13:49] I want to know this board require a real county-specific estimate of net local tax revenue

[13:56] before any project is allowed to move forward, or will we be asked to promise and approve

[14:02] something that's no number attached to it? Third, if this board does utilize the next 18 months

[14:09] to write regulations, I want your commitment to those regulations will include real enforcement.

[14:15] That's just standards on a paper who will monitor the compliance.

[14:20] What happens when a company violates the condition?

[14:24] What's the penalty?

[14:25] Will the county actually require me to change this when violations occur?

[14:30] Regulations only protect the community if they're measurable, enforceable,

[14:35] monitored, and backed by rail consequences.

[14:38] Regulating the billion dollar company on paper means very little

[14:45] And finally, I'm going to know what this board's tipping point is, what economic benefit would justify the cost to the people who live here, how much infrastructure investment, how many permanent jobs.

[15:00] How much tax revenue and how will the regulation you write account for what doesn't show up on a economic development strategy? Water, light, air, noise, our property values, emergency services, and long-term demands on this community.

[15:18] So I'm asking this board to use this moratorium for more than just buying time, I'm asking

[15:23] you to answer questions, I love points with the costs of the people who live here, I'll

[15:29] may even have them thought of that. And what is justice, evidence will you use to make that

[15:35] determination. Thank you. Thank you. These public comments for things you'd like to have brought

[15:41] up on future agenda items.

[15:44] I'm asking you to bring about.

[15:47] We do have a more time discussion later on in the agenda.

[15:51] Is there any comment for something that's not on the agenda later for something that

[15:55] would like to be brought up at a later time?

[16:03] With that,

[16:07] we will, and there isn't discussion back and forth here.

[16:10] There's a lot of times we'd like to discuss things back and forth, but we're not

[16:13] allowed to at this part of the meeting.

[16:16] I will say just for public record, and I'll make sure the clerk gets us over to the attorney's office.

[16:23] Mary and Leonard did text all of us on a group text.

[16:26] That would be an up and meeting violation.

[16:31] I responded to that saying, this is up and means that violation.

[16:35] I'm sure it was unaccidate.

[16:39] But I will remind the board that it can't be contact between all of us outside of meetings on group text.

[16:46] We do our business publicly, so dirty, messy, clean or not, our discussions together are in the public, that way you all see our conversations in real time instead of us having them behind closed doors.

[17:04] Come in to your reports, building the grounds when you're like Mr. Gordon.

[17:07] Good day, dear.

[17:10] More Mr. Jones.

[17:16] Thank you.

[17:17] I'd like to go out for the 25 years since September 11th.

[17:21] Very well.

[17:23] Thank you to the South.

[17:24] Please community college, softball team,

[17:26] close show up and lift circles around all of this old guys.

[17:30] This is a good CSF that's a young people involved with that.

[17:35] Thank you.

[17:35] Thank you very much.

[17:39] I was still waiting for parts for that thing and that's been a looping over 12,000 now.

[17:46] That's the notes that you're working on trying to detect.

[17:48] It's as soon as possible.

[17:50] So checking into replacing the second floor, the these doors, possibly the less doors.

[17:57] They have custom made doors to make for the values.

[18:00] Conduct for the generator, also some getting as it's called to the generator closer to the transformer area out there.

[18:10] And LED lights, replace these LED lights, these required lens to get a color to the new ones.

[18:18] They have a setting to where you're just the color of the light.

[18:21] I'm excited to see, I never really cared for the blue color that we had on the control here, but that was our own option.

[18:28] So we should be able to kind of fine-tune and get the color that we want for the lighting of the poor house and lastly

[18:35] by the winter lights, maybe September the 20th period at 10 o

[18:43] 'clock.

[18:43] Thanks Dave. Anything else, Mr. Doer?

[18:48] Equals, and we had a brief meeting this morning.

[18:50] The joint public hearing will be September 23rd at 6 o'clock in the district court room.

[18:57] I'll, like I said before, although we're not required to be there, we are required to host that for the agencies that are.

[19:04] I believe next year, all taxing agencies will be required to be at the joint public hearing.

[19:09] Potentially.

[19:11] But that will be upstairs.

[19:14] Finance and insurance, Mr. Jenkins.

[19:16] large technology services, $13,000, $17,000, $20,000, $40,000, $4,000, $4,000,

[19:44] dollars, region-by-systems, county's contribution, 12,518, standard credit services, appraisal

[19:56] of $10,867.50,

[20:02] Washington County Sheriff, boarding inmates, and medical $15,119,111.

[20:10] The answer to concrete sending gravel, rock and gravel, 97,990,790,480, and 10 cents,

[20:21] our

[20:30] $113.707.07, vote and a prize is the Grigman-Colbert project, $213.044.

[20:41] And $3.131.

[20:42] Thank you, Mr. Jürgen.

[20:47] Even the resources and player relations, we have been talking about the different

[20:52] grievances filed between the FOP and the county and other one went through stage 3.

[20:58] I think there are six currently or more.

[21:04] They keep coming in.

[21:05] These are contracts, corrections, discussions, relating the parties that will look at that

[21:12] decide.

[21:13] What's right if the attorneys can't come to an agreement that goes to a district court, they'll

[21:18] make a decision there, but these are just parts of the new contract at a time, at times

[21:25] different interpretations of the same piece of paper, we'll let those that are trained and

[21:32] legal analysis go through those until us if we're right or if they're right and we'll move forward

[21:38] accordingly. Well, enforcement emergency management planning and zoning, Mr. Lidal.

[21:45] Is he got anything other than agenda?

[21:53] As far as law enforcement, continuing conversations about some of the jail stuff that we've discussed about the city.

[22:04] So, I'm possibly moving forward with some of that next week.

[22:08] So, fantastic.

[22:11] Ron Bridge.

[22:12] Mr. Jurgen's.

[22:14] About three or four?

[22:16] A lot of rain.

[22:20] Well, with that, we'll move on to our first potentially controversial issue, life stock regulation.

[22:30] We visited about this. A couple weeks ago, a public hearing went over some things, made some potential changes to the recommendations of PMZ.

[22:44] The three that stick out in my mind were more administrative. First of all, changing the agency at the state throughout the document just because that changes on a regular basis.

[22:56] The next one, we changed one set back and then added a tree plan back into the permitting process that the PMZ had taken out.

[23:14] Those are the only changes to the recommendation that I remember from PMZ off the top of my head.

[23:21] Just like anything that we get from PMZ, sometimes we take some of what they give us, sometimes we change it, sometimes we get rid of it.

[23:28] And in this case, the tree plan, at least as of the public hearing date, trees were added

[23:36] back to what BMZ said they should not have in the permitting process.

[23:43] So I guess with that

[23:54] resolution number 26-1826-188, which would be the 26-188, which would be

[24:12] So

[24:23] your motion would take the document we have, take the set back back to a quarter mile, from

[24:30] three to the mile.

[24:31] What can you do back in the end of it?

[24:33] But still add in the tree plan and the tree plan, which can be decided upon to sell it

[24:44] these things.

[24:45] The tree plan for me has a long run, but let us put that at the plan trees along the road

[24:50] side of it.

[24:52] As presented with the changes to the quarter mile in lieu of 380 and a tree plan along the

[25:02] side.

[25:06] We have a motion by Adams.

[25:08] Second by Claybaw.

[25:11] I will open this up to the discussion from the board then.

[25:15] That's XB.

[25:24] What are you brought up on number 5,

[25:30] 6, B, I, just adding the words, if needed,

[25:44] I'll

[25:54] You can see any good enough that it is fixed.

[25:57] We have, I thought that was like a spherical change,

[26:00] but just for a comma shift, we did 65

[26:04] at the wording if needed.

[26:06] We have a motion by HACS B to amend the motion.

[26:10] I had 65 if needed to manure distribution area.

[26:16] Motion by HACS B, second by LIDLE.

[26:21] Any discussion on that item?

[26:22] I

[26:25] mean, did I clarify something we talked about that obviously the applicants and the co-authicants as I understood that was correct?

[26:35] That's correct. Give me just one second. We'll deal with this amendment and then we'll go right back to that.

[26:41] Six B-5 to the end of that change the period you have come if needed period.

[26:47] Correct.

[26:48] Exactly that.

[26:50] Most of my hats be second.

[26:51] By a lie, I will do them in that original motion.

[26:55] Discussion.

[26:58] Please vote.

[27:00] Seven in favor.

[27:02] Men carries.

[27:04] back to former item seven on how to stay applicants. In this motion, that is struck. If we

[27:13] would want to add something back, we would have to add that back.

[27:44] I would like to

[27:53] say maybe in private seats after that location and plan and make a plan.

[28:09] I'm in motion to amend the motion on 6b8,

[28:16] which currently reads tree plan for the facility along the roadside.

[28:21] The amendment would add.

[28:24] I think I'd like to change that then I'd like to amend it.

[28:27] I would just like to say tree plan for the facility.

[28:30] Here it is.

[28:31] And then the location plan and

[28:37] maintenance plan.

[28:39] And leave it at that because I like it along the road.

[28:42] I think there's more like important size,

[28:45] especially like there's been a lot of scientific articles

[28:47] saying that direction of wind sometimes other side

[28:50] did better.

[28:52] So, the road is important for individual aspects

[28:54] that I think that trees play a bigger part

[28:56] on certain wind direction size.

[28:59] So, so your motion is to demand six B.A. from trees plan

[29:05] for roadside to tree plan, tree and maintenance plan.

[29:12] I

[29:17] will ask Ms. Reagan, what was the rationale for removing the treatment plan from the regulations originally?

[29:26] Based upon the application, each application could be presented with a condition if maybe after hearing the testimony for whatever points it concerns that were.

[29:40] and that the commission's still unwise and make a fight that can do so.

[29:45] It's just like it should be.

[29:47] So they would use their general rights under the special use permit application.

[29:55] We can still do that. It's just make it a split.

[29:59] Provided for it.

[30:00] I'm opening the

[30:10] two tree plan, the tree and maintenance plan for facility. Motion by tax v2, min6b8 to tree plan, tree and maintenance plan for the facility, was there a second for that amendment?

[30:31] Seconded by juridists?

[30:33] Is it dated?

[30:36] No, it's just...

[30:37] No, it's just...

[30:38] No, wait, it's everything.

[30:39] But everything.

[30:39] Operating, everything.

[30:41] Yeah, okay.

[30:42] So that tree plan could be nothing.

[30:44] It could be nothing.

[30:45] Yeah,

[30:48] but it's just...

[30:49] It's a tree, and all we have with tree plan.

[30:52] Looking back now, like there's more than the thing.

[30:53] Yeah, I go to the tree.

[30:54] This... this would have been in the front of the mountain where it's,

[30:57] to the tree and the tree and the tree.

[30:58] It's a tree and the one that's planted on the floor.

[31:02] Additional discussion on this motion, Mr. Lidel.

[31:04] I think simple and easy tree plan for the facilities enough, I don't think we need to

[31:09] order it up anymore than that, because the tree plan might be there are no trees.

[31:15] All over there going to be on this side or that side or whatever, I don't think we need

[31:20] to order it up anymore than that, so that's sorry.

[31:27] There's no discussion.

[31:28] All right.

[31:29] Now, I see

[31:32] more things here because it has a lot of new things, just that's fine.

[31:36] This would be voting specifically on the amendment to the motion to change it from pre-plan along the roadside to tree and maintenance plan for the facility.

[31:51] Any additional discussion?

[31:54] Please vote.

[31:58] Five in favor.

[31:59] A team in a light-alotting nay.

[32:01] Motion carries.

[32:03] Motion is amended to tree and maintenance plan for the facility for item 6b8.

[32:09] eight

[32:12] additional changes message be.

[32:20] I can't advise out the survey that I put out on Monday.

[32:26] I will let you get that out in a moment.

[32:29] I seem to have a lot of time about everything.

[32:34] So I got it all on Monday.

[32:35] I had 105 responses.

[32:39] So I was going to break down those responses for you guys.

[32:42] And I put all of them in there, all the comments, all the others.

[32:46] Part of me, which I hadn't had as many others in there,

[32:49] but that's just the most part of my survey together last night, really late.

[32:55] So out of that, I'm looking at a hundred people living in each county,

[32:59] like the 70s of property in each county, 90s to live in a rural area,

[33:05] the 70s, six of those responses, operate farm or ranch.

[33:11] This is 53-111 model of a life-stack operation that operates in 16-7-191, a life-stack operation.

[33:19] They didn't follow their operating.

[33:20] Ms. Hacksby, I've heard so much comments on misinformation, not saying that this isn't all.

[33:28] But any time, I just heard a comment this morning that it just annoys me when we talk about misinformation,

[33:36] because anyone that thinks we don't get messed up with patients living in a bubble, because we get from both sides all the time.

[33:44] The only thing I was going to ask about this is, as we're going through this, just as we do seem to decipher through facts.

[33:53] Simply a question, are any of the locations of people or anything else verified so that we know if they're actually whatever they're answering is accurate as we do in any petition or anything like that?

[34:06] That's exactly it is the person that took care of the person.

[34:08] Just the honesty of the person.

[34:10] I mean, if we have to come with five.

[34:14] That was my only question, because I started thinking about who lives where, what's going on.

[34:22] And.

[34:23] Because we received a lot of unverifiable information.

[34:26] Some of it's great.

[34:27] Some of it's not.

[34:29] I just wanted it.

[34:30] That was my only question on this.

[34:36] So, it's not simply, as we've heard a lot of times, acre donors, we don't understand

[34:41] that there's also a lot of these where people that are on the floor have to have their own life.

[34:48] For the facility Aates of 300,500 in multi-nits, you can be the questions that are asked

[34:52] and it's just very straightforward.

[34:55] What it is, like, so 305, I also, maybe you guys have a chart for you to show 305 and 1 million

[35:02] it.

[35:03] When you talk about annual units, that's, you know, up to 500 cows, that's 416 cows, that's 3,557

[35:10] per cow, dairy cattle, 5,000 sheep, 12,500 swine under 55 cows, 50,000 chickens, 25,000

[35:21] So, manually, unit is very different from teaching the species.

[35:27] So, the largest response for the facility A was a half mile of 36 responses.

[35:35] How facility B, the largest response was 3-4-1 mile.

[35:40] Facility C had one mile facility D, one and a half facility E2, and facility F2.

[35:46] And you can see the breakdown of each of those.

[35:49] I can put all of those, all the comments on each one of them,

[35:52] three guests, three.

[35:58] Because I think the last time Terry was here,

[36:00] he told us that he should go with the majority of our constituents.

[36:03] And I had told him at the time that if we did that,

[36:06] he's going to show up a lot bigger.

[36:07] And we're trying to find that balance.

[36:08] And so I just wanted to show you that that is the case.

[36:11] I'm not pulling that out.

[36:12] That's what people are telling me.

[36:16] Another thing in their determining sex,

[36:19] why can't I talk about the four of that animal unit thing

[36:22] is very diverse between species.

[36:24] And so there's a lot of people that thought that it should also,

[36:29] and I don't know how you do this,

[36:30] but consider species as well as the animal unit,

[36:33] just because it's so different between each one of the five thousand

[36:42] I just don't see those as the same thing to me, but I just don't see those as the same thing to me.

[36:48] But Emily, this isn't easy way to do it, but I understand why it's done that way.

[36:52] Allowing neighbors to agree with my step back, one of the things that I found important was that

[36:57] Respondents weren't simply asking for the larger step backs.

[37:00] I had asked if the people that responded that survey, if they would support these

[37:06] set back feeling to a not participating properly, meaning that if somebody goes out and talks to their

[37:11] neighbors, which we do have people in this town that haven't done that successfully, good operators

[37:16] to have a reduced set back, and the majority said, yes, they should be allowed to do that.

[37:23] A tree plan, the majority said yes to that as well, following through being...

[37:30] Commitments may during the permit process, whether we should be strictly reporting those or having some leeway and majority also said yes.

[37:43] The out of state applicant, I did put that as a question on there. I know that there's some legal issues with ramifications or ability to do that, but I just wanted to see what the public really thought about that and what if there is anything that we could do or should try to be,

[37:59] were just, they were then went from the public to do that, just in general, and that was an overwhelming

[38:04] mess from that one as well. Overall,

[38:11] I also said to you, like, what was the view of everybody

[38:14] everybody wanted to have the balance between livestock or other quality life. And the other

[38:20] take away, I wanted to talk about from the comics that I got on there, was that I got you that

[38:26] put listening to the A3 people that want to wine about everything and put others suggest

[38:33] that people who don't like livestock should live in towers for that people raising

[38:36] concerns about livestock should build this part of problem. When we're starting to even call

[38:41] the survey a trouble maker or a divider. And beyond those specific comments, so other sources

[38:48] were simply unnecessary and abusive and bullheaded. I think the way that we approach this

[38:53] conversations as something about the kind of neighbor and producer or operator that we want to be.

[38:59] We don't all have to agree about whether a setback should be six or six to two half mile or a mile,

[39:06] or how we regulate these things.

[39:09] But what we should agree on is that we want to have a good quality of life in the rural area and engage county.

[39:16] The response is a quit-winding, a move to town, don't demonstrate an agricultural industry

[39:21] and interested in being a good neighbor.

[39:25] As an agricultural producer, myself, that is extremely disappointing to me.

[39:29] We spend a lot of times saying that H. County has had time when, and I have said that myself,

[39:34] and I absolutely believe it, I want my software users to be able to build expand and invest here,

[39:40] but agriculture has to be friendly too.

[39:43] But what makes the wine and the agriculture

[39:47] on our comments even more frustrating

[39:49] is that actual numbers don't support that narrative.

[39:53] Three forces, these respondents live on a farm ranch,

[39:58] more than half of these responses

[40:01] operate livestock facilities themselves.

[40:05] So it's not simply acre donors attacking agriculture.

[40:10] We've also heard about the halo setback that we've

[40:12] that you create when you do this around the home.

[40:17] I think that's a fair issue to discuss.

[40:21] And, but I think we need to look at the discussion,

[40:24] and argument for most directions.

[40:26] So here's an awful idea.

[40:28] If you want to take that halo out of the setback

[40:30] calculation, lift there.

[40:33] The operator believes that if there's 60 feet

[40:35] and is appropriate distance between a home

[40:37] and a livestock facility, the operator can be the person

[40:40] the link us up. So you put your residents there and eliminate that. Hey, let's set that.

[40:50] So, do you have a motion message?

[40:54] I do. I think that we should put those setbacks the facility A and facility B, but I'll

[41:01] do them one at a time. So facility B, I think to be at 3A for the mile. It's still well under

[41:09] We have a motion by XB to change facility B set back from 1.4 mile to 3.8 of a mile.

[41:30] To facility B, it's at 1.4 mile with Rex's motions, so this would be a many of the motions from 1.4 mile to 3.8 of a mile.

[41:41] We have a motion by XB.

[41:54] So we're ending the action from a quarter mile to three eights of the mile.

[41:59] So in case there's any doubt here,

[42:02] a question, Rex's motion puts one quarter mile setback,

[42:07] which was the recommendation of the Plan and its own in commission.

[42:10] Miss Hacksby's amendment would change it from one quarter mile.

[42:14] It would increase it to three eights of a mile.

[42:25] But we'd have to amend this motion because the motion is for a quarter mile.

[42:45] We have a motion by Hacksby as there are seconds,

[43:02] so you brought up like May just a little bit of a whole much to build within a step back.

[43:08] a current livestock operator, for instance.

[43:13] We've had that happen other times where that homeowner has gone to that livestock producer

[43:18] and said, hey, can I, can I, can we agree upon a waiver?

[43:25] And it has worked.

[43:27] If that option is in there, that homeowner still has the opportunity to live there,

[43:34] but he has to go through that special use from that process.

[43:38] So, and then, as we have one home, I need them to talk about maybe about eight years ago,

[43:46] whereas they went through a special use permit for that process and not home to treat this if it's not there.

[43:53] This is more for a facility to build if there's existing houses, not for the new homes to come in.

[44:00] Reason, planning is only wanted to shorten that by an eighth mile.

[44:07] Sure, as you remember, just encouraging agricultural growth, especially for those beginning

[44:15] operations, not necessarily beginning farmers on the outside, but if any producer

[44:22] of that needs to, you know, find some type of niche market.

[44:28] We have a motion by HACC is your second

[44:46] vice chance.

[44:49] Motion fails for lack of a second.

[44:52] Exactly.

[44:53] So on facility A, I would like to be able to go back to the point of my life.

[45:00] Motion by Hacksby to change, I'm sorry. Facility A would like to change to the quarter mile.

[45:09] Motion by Hacksby to amend the motion on facility A from one eighth mile to one quarter mile.

[45:25] excuse me, a name of a mile, so they decreased that 50% of the facility A and B.

[45:31] It was a quarter. It was a quarter.

[45:37] Reason for decreasing facility A.

[45:44] Up to 500 A is for facility A and we have this reference.

[45:55] I'm sorry.

[45:57] And you are a grad.

[45:59] Current motion is for Nathan Mile, which would be the PMZ recommendation.

[46:03] Miss Hacksby's motion, which there is a motion on the floor by Hacksby to increase facility A setback from one eighth mile to one quarter mile.

[46:12] Is there a second?

[46:16] Second by Dorn.

[46:19] Additional discussion on changing the setback from one eighth of the mile to one quarter of the mile.

[46:31] need discussion.

[46:35] If not, please vote.

[46:41] Motion fails with tax be and door invoting yes.

[46:49] Adams Claybaw, team in vital, Jurgen's vote in nay.

[47:01] I'm Dr. Bezer and I just take you a survey to show you what majority says.

[47:10] I just, the way people are treating people these day off people mean

[47:17] Apparently, you are rules to be fine.

[47:21] This will change us to the motion or discussion on the motion on the floor.

[47:34] The motion we have on the floor right now is as presented in front of you.

[47:41] Quarter mile setback on facility B, tree plan,

[47:47] I have six B-8 amended to 3 and maintenance plan for the facility,

[48:00] six B-5, if needed

[48:02] added to the end of that motion by Adams, second by Kleeva on the motion.

[48:11] Additional clarification or question on the motion we're voting on.

[48:26] We have motion by Hacksby the postpone, vote for two weeks,

[48:42] the review of her survey.

[48:50] Live stock regulation survey.

[48:54] Is there a second of the conversation?

[48:57] Second, my little

[49:01] question to comment on this amendment.

[49:08] This has to be how many people took this survey, which

[49:13] is more than we have to up here at all.

[49:17] So at least we had people that, and I had a lot of thank you for doing this survey, so that they could participate.

[49:23] Where was the, how did people take this?

[49:27] Oh, my.

[49:29] For how was it distributed, I guess?

[49:30] And I sent it out to send it out as many people as I knew that would take it within the area of the world.

[49:41] Because I keep hearing it.

[49:42] It drives me absolutely crazy when I just hear it.

[49:44] It's all these things for donors.

[49:46] It's not.

[49:47] It really is.

[49:48] But when I look at these, just looking through these briefly,

[49:59] the majority.

[50:00] If we look at strictly majority of surveys taken,

[50:03] We eliminate livestock and gauge county if we would deal with you saying we're looking at a mile five miles to my house

[50:22] I know you

[50:33] All of my teachers have this that vaccine, what they work.

[50:38] They're obviously not eliminating any.

[50:39] I hope some people can do anything this.

[50:42] And one thing that we're adding.

[50:43] So we didn't have prior.

[50:45] Is that after?

[50:46] It says it's that that's actually not.

[50:48] It was a period of dollars.

[50:49] Six people.

[50:50] Two people.

[50:53] Two people.

[50:56] Two people.

[51:01] We have motion by.

[51:03] Hacks be second by.

[51:04] to vote for on this over two weeks to allow for review of the livestock regulations survey.

[51:13] The additional questions are coming.

[51:18] Seeing none, please vote.

[51:26] Motion fails 5-2 with

[51:28] Hacks being door and voting yes.

[51:35] Anything else to discuss?

[51:38] A man change question on the livestock rig motion that's on the floor.

[51:54] Any clarification,

[52:00] if not, we, we have a motion by Adams, second by Claybough, we're voting on, we're voting on, we're voting on Resolution 26, 18, each countywide stock regulations motion by Adam, second by Claybough, quarter mile set back on B,

[52:22] with the tree plan and maintenance added, item 7 has still removed.

[52:35] 6B5, if needed, added to that line.

[52:45] If there's no further comment, question, clarification, this vote will be for the livestock regulation resolution, 26-18.

[52:55] And there's

[52:59] no

[53:02] sex and favor with acts we vote in nay motion carries.

[53:24] You want to do that, sir, for me?

[53:28] Thank you very much.

[53:32] All right.

[53:40] These regulations in 2016 was based in chains upon public hearing input from PNZ as well as the

[53:47] Board of Supervisors, the regulations we have on the table, we've received things on both

[53:56] slides like we always do, and the recommendation and vote of the board is based on information

[54:05] received.

[54:07] Without our next item, a business is specifically on data center, more TORIME extension.

[54:19] We will take a 10-minute recess at 9.39 prior to discussion on that, we'll get back into

[54:26] that potential resolution when we return.

[54:33] We will reconvene at 948.

[54:36] We are going to skip ahead briefly.

[54:42] I'll look right past you, Kaylee.

[54:44] Mr. Fiona is here to talk about the gauge connect app

[54:49] and approving potentially the contract.

[54:54] I guess first, before discussion, I'd ask for a motion to approve

[54:58] The Gates Connect app, assuming contract negotiation approval.

[55:05] Motion by Hacksby, second by Lightell, this is the app we've been discussing and going

[55:13] over that would combine all the entertaining entertainment governments, have things engaged

[55:20] county through all the villages, towns, cities, rural areas, put everything together and put

[55:26] social calendars, so people in our area have a one-stop shop if they want to look to see what's going on.

[55:32] Mr. Fiona, do you want to go over how this is kind of transpired or where we're at with the contract, the

[55:38] dollar amounts have changed, and there's still some potential contract negotiation, but I don't know if there's

[55:44] anything where you want to get into on this.

[55:46] I think

[55:58] I'm going to be a towardment, but I also let civic components of that way are villages

[56:03] can host if they want to have their meetings. It's on the app. You have push notifications

[56:07] and all those are bombarded billion things a day. So I know things are on my calendar.

[56:15] So I'm also very guilty of that. So it's kind of nice reminder, but it's four are counting.

[56:22] So, right there was a little bit of a group of music from a civic perspective, but then also

[56:29] a tailor's tour, the visitors are outside of each county to use it at the corner

[56:33] of the perspective to see what Luke up going on in social calendar has Chairman Tinnon mentioned,

[56:40] but also be able to drive in those tours of dollars that we have people staying in their

[56:44] money and gauge county and hopefully not around this, but at least here.

[56:50] And so through that, we've gone out into the RFP, has had some that came back.

[56:56] The committee had the pause because we were expecting them to kind of be imperable.

[57:02] It was very much apples to oranges on how this worked.

[57:07] The one that we received,

[57:12] it would give us the blueprint to make to have an app.

[57:16] They would do it all.

[57:17] It would all be third parties, so we would be subject to fees over time, and those would move

[57:24] as the contract shifts, so the contract ends, and then the check-up of the fees, so we were nervous about that,

[57:30] so we wanted to nail down that we weren't going to have in fees, but also with third party tech, they could just close it down and not do you a reason,

[57:38] so making part of our app becomes an operable and then we're just scrambling to make it work.

[57:41] being other option with us, build the app and have the rights to it, so we will hold

[57:50] process from building the system itself to maintenance, all this together, I'm sorry,

[57:56] I'm going to keep that.

[58:01] That's something we would own. So that is the one that would

[58:04] be the recommend choice by the committee. We've done some field work. I got some of my colleagues

[58:09] and my or an interest in that type of thing to be able to replicate, but we would have the

[58:16] dive beyond it.

[58:18] So that is to be determined in obviously the lawyer side of the command, and we'll have

[58:23] for you to believe that is not my field of scope, but then if we need to do updates to the

[58:30] applicant, we can work with that company and say we're going to do it.

[58:34] The other positive benefit, less of their locals, about 45 minutes away, so that helps

[58:39] to meet with some of the others within Carolina,

[58:42] one of the Carolina saying we've been as we've come

[58:47] to the contract, we're negotiating that and negotiating

[58:51] the price, and actually filling in our favor

[58:54] and reducing the prices, it's going very well.

[58:57] So we're in that stage, so that's the two problems

[59:00] that we're working on for that community.

[59:06] I think that's the part of the market.

[59:08] The most important part of that is that we're going to

[59:12] are a clear stock of we were able to

[59:15] implement that intellectual cooperation.

[59:18] I think that was the big difference.

[59:20] You did prevent infringing factor to choosing

[59:25] that one over the other ones.

[59:27] I think in a more complete application and even

[59:29] some more complete act when the product is done and then we

[59:32] would own it.

[59:33] I mean, there's still going to be policies that

[59:48] I would also add that the public is always welcome to stop by the office and if they want to see a lot of that version, they may one through.

[1:00:00] I'm not an active developer, so I've leveraged, unfortunately, I leveraged day I do something I can't, and so I gave a so working model on how to use it, and it won't be the final product, but it's something that we look at, if someone's trying to kind of comprehend or wrap their head around what that is, so we'd be more than willing to share that part of us too.

[1:00:20] So I think it'll be good because it'll help connect communities to it.

[1:00:24] It'll like put in all the events, so you want to, I don't want to know why ODL days are or when

[1:00:31] quite totally days are, but then on the civil side of it, it will allow villages to let people know

[1:00:38] where their meetings are or, like, quite totally, it just kind of alarmed one of those, something

[1:00:42] that they could send out with Bushlands to the nation.

[1:00:46] We haven't fully delved into the development piece of emergency management that's still a beast.

[1:00:55] But having that happen, the application, if everything else already tells you that any weather is happening in renegraskin.

[1:01:03] So it's going to be sunny, and it's going to be a tornado, and it's going to be cold in the back of sunny all the same day.

[1:01:08] So we're all kind of risk adverse to weather.

[1:01:10] So that's not one of our big primary concerns to make sure it's also a emergency management

[1:01:17] in its self, this is already things that do that for us, but also at least have that

[1:01:22] as a complementary thing in case something doesn't go on.

[1:01:26] You have a redundant, I think we're done in the same court for emergency management too.

[1:01:31] So we'll offer that.

[1:01:34] We have motion by actually setting my light on the decimal discussion on the gates, connect

[1:01:38] app, pending contract negotiation.

[1:01:54] We have to finish contract negotiation, as this was been out, and different proposals came

[1:02:02] on. There's fine on negotiation to do on the price. The price has come down, but there is

[1:02:07] an potential up to price. That's what's being worked on right now. When we have an actual

[1:02:13] contract, we'll have an actual contract to approve. But this will allow us to start moving forward

[1:02:19] with them.

[1:02:22] Just no questions. If not, please vote.

[1:02:28] Seven in favor, motion carries. Thank

[1:02:31] We'll

[1:02:36] go back to Resolution 26, 19, approve or disprove Resolution 26, 19, specifically

[1:02:47] on data center, more Toriams, and 18 month moratorium, which is what came to us from the

[1:02:55] planning and zoning.

[1:02:57] I guess I would begin here, Lisa, why don't you go over information yet and do three of us

[1:03:04] Again, as you recall, we're planning in Zoey,

[1:03:08] the mission presented to you a letter on June 12th.

[1:03:12] We're working through a commercial portfolio.

[1:03:16] And we've added, at that time, we're hearing their hearing

[1:03:20] the testimony from that night, and also a large amount of information

[1:03:26] that was presented to us.

[1:03:28] The commission was recommended you take the time to have

[1:03:45] I'm sure you guys have been talking to the PNZ guys.

[1:03:49] We've been talking to the public.

[1:03:50] We've had a public hearing on this.

[1:03:54] I usually don't address much of the things I see on Facebook.

[1:03:58] I have a few of gun on some of the pages with the adverse side as well as we've been reading about

[1:04:06] So the other side, I'm sorry, I've been called out for saying there's much information.

[1:04:19] Anyone that thinks there is a miserable, just because information agrees with you doesn't

[1:04:25] make it right.

[1:04:27] I guess I don't have an opinion one way or another on this.

[1:04:30] What I have an opinion on is we need to look at what's right for gauge county as a whole and

[1:04:35] regulations don't only affect the northern tier.

[1:04:38] They affect central gauge, southern gauge, east-west.

[1:04:42] We get misinformation every single day.

[1:04:44] We get misinformation from proponents.

[1:04:47] We get misinformation from opponents.

[1:04:50] As we go through and review data, we look at other agencies in our D here specifically, because water's number one resource in our area other than people.

[1:05:02] And the NRD had studies from experts.

[1:05:07] They were presented on another project not long ago.

[1:05:10] All the studies said this is all fine.

[1:05:12] This will work.

[1:05:13] This is above board.

[1:05:15] It all fits into your regulations.

[1:05:19] After peer review, that information didn't look as good.

[1:05:25] Peer review by other experts.

[1:05:26] Not board members, but experts in those fields.

[1:05:28] We're bombarded as boards, planning and zoning commissions or board supervisors with information from both sites.

[1:05:37] It's not a surprise that if you're in favor or against something, the information that you present shows that you're in favor

[1:05:43] or it shows your side of the coin.

[1:05:48] Ms. May asks how we decipher through that, as carefully as possible, because it's not easy.

[1:05:53] we get all kinds of information, and we try to dig through it.

[1:05:59] We try to see what's real and what's not.

[1:06:02] But there is constant misinformation.

[1:06:06] That doesn't mean it's only on the items that are against what you're thinking.

[1:06:11] It's both sides.

[1:06:12] We get good information, bad information, everything else.

[1:06:15] So that's what we look at.

[1:06:17] Extruts that are non-biased as possible.

[1:06:24] It is, it's, it's tough at times, but this isn't just for a air and air, this is for an entire county.

[1:06:31] I guess I'll stop there, turn it over to Red.

[1:06:33] Well, Monday, in the committee meetings, we talked about the edge of nothing

[1:06:37] development, some that I went to put up by the Chamber of Commerce last week.

[1:06:46] This isn't argue over the right of wrongness to tell you the information

[1:06:50] that they've made us that way.

[1:06:53] The data center of the building offered two of the infrastructure and community impacts.

[1:06:59] One of them is our water museum.

[1:07:11] So the water is unpredictable, they all stayed in there that if you want to talk about the water, that is a water pressure that comes over the ocean.

[1:07:30] Systems, waste water from sewer systems are happening, we need to be put water in the system.

[1:07:36] I'm going to go through my notes to map all of the board to shine at one of the cloud counties within the facility in the browser.

[1:07:44] They want to treat like all developments, terms, negotiable, all uses will adapt to resources.

[1:07:50] What that means is if you have these resources, they will adapt to what you have available.

[1:07:58] whether it's the water usage, whether it may be from that end of it.

[1:08:02] The more dangerous centers they have, the show from their information, as an average

[1:08:08] of creating lower electric waves by 5% degrees.

[1:08:13] Virginia has 226 data centers.

[1:08:19] There are energy rates have been frozen for six years.

[1:08:22] Georgia, they send us the same moment.

[1:08:26] On here, they help infrastructure, investment in all utilities,

[1:08:32] that transmission lines are down, your sewer lines are not good,

[1:08:34] your roads bridges.

[1:08:36] They will help to bring them up to the area they need.

[1:08:43] As far as misinformation, they talked about misinformation.

[1:08:47] They have AI track of all the negative sources on the internet, and AI track from back to

[1:08:57] the E6 individual sites and China.

[1:09:01] This is an information.

[1:09:04] That prompted the question, data centers have been around since 1990, why not any real

[1:09:10] obstructions until last couple of years?

[1:09:13] Okay.

[1:09:13] That was a question.

[1:09:16] In their industrial parks, they don't want any setbacks on their data centers.

[1:09:23] They wanted this close to the others, they can, and then cluster.

[1:09:28] Schools of benefit, the most roads, some of the revenues have been paid up front.

[1:09:35] They replace their servers inside the building every 18 months.

[1:09:40] The state of Nebraska at a personal property tax, if these ever go through, personal property tax needs to be consideration, because they replaced the servers every 18 months.

[1:09:53] Cheyenne's revenue was 140 million tax revenue in New School's hospital use centers.

[1:10:00] They all say the primary jobs when they're building are 1,000 to 1,500 jobs while they're building one of these.

[1:10:08] As they open, said drops down to 30 to 50 jobs all between 80 and 130,000.

[1:10:15] There's different businesses at feed these. They talk about that.

[1:10:19] Okay, they also talk about the negative 1,000 workers coming in their community.

[1:10:26] They're not all bad people because to work on these,

[1:10:29] They said they all need the background check and they have to be drug tested to do it.

[1:10:35] So, percolion,

[1:10:38] the City Administrative Deputy City Administrator says,

[1:10:41] St. Lucas, traffic management, OJLs군, was a policy for them, because they built the

[1:10:48] industry very St. Lucas, quiet, industrial use, no noise, no traffic after they were built.

[1:10:57] They're very clean.

[1:11:01] He stated there that many of the industries in the industrial part for a lot more sounds

[1:11:09] than the data centers have, and after they're up and running, they're in very minimal

[1:11:15] traffic that they generally.

[1:11:18] They pay for their infrastructure all once.

[1:11:20] Sales tax opportunities on selling the products that they, I don't know how you define

[1:11:27] product they make, but it's a sales tax opportunity there.

[1:11:36] When they met up, distance from housing, you know, you've got to set your setbacks

[1:11:43] there based off sound, and some of them are extremely quietness in, met up, puts in closed,

[1:11:52] the sound, the ones that are louder in closed buildings, the sound sounds up, the system

[1:11:56] whether they can hear it and do not know.

[1:11:59] Google has the noise on the side.

[1:12:03] If they're out in a rural area, they put the noise on the car side

[1:12:08] or the way from the home, if they're in the area.

[1:12:12] Life span of deep commissioning these,

[1:12:14] they said there probably is no such thing in Virginia,

[1:12:17] because they've been there since 1999.

[1:12:21] There are neutral source playbooks that put out there.

[1:12:24] They said they can go to.

[1:12:28] And the takeaway is that I came away with from that meeting was regulations, regulations is a key to this game.

[1:12:39] You're not going to please everyone where they go.

[1:12:42] So your setback distance has to be appropriate.

[1:12:46] Your sound levels have to be acceptable.

[1:12:51] Use the verbiage of the most current tech available, whether the closed loop, sewage water system, the perimeter tree plan.

[1:13:03] They don't necessarily like the tree plan, these facilities because they must have stuff on the roof.

[1:13:10] They don't want trees on the roof, but some of them do have tree plans that they block the visual look of the buildings.

[1:13:17] I got closed with water system in the infrastructure concerns.

[1:13:21] They will address your roads, your bridges, your transmission lines, your gas lines, bring your community up to stuff.

[1:13:31] Sales tax, opportunity, if it's outside of the facility, you can sell them whatever they make.

[1:13:38] The personal property tax, the enforcement of violations.

[1:13:46] something that was talked to, Nebraska has to set some state of Nebraska's needs to step up on some of this and step up quickly.

[1:13:58] Right now, the way we've had three different counts as tell us, a moratorium is not successful with challenge.

[1:14:06] The longer you make the moratorium, the less success there is potential.

[1:14:10] potential, potential.

[1:14:14] So, raise, they want a shorter

[1:14:17] more chornium to get regulations in place, the way they describe it

[1:14:22] about. You go to 18 month more chornium. This is not the

[1:14:25] mean, they are, because other kinds of mines in line. They can come in

[1:14:30] and you cannot turn down there for them. By the state of the

[1:14:35] that needs to come in. I'm going to use the added location. That ground has been

[1:14:40] optionally telling me of 30,000 in acre. So that 30,000 in acre, ground is sold. It should not

[1:14:50] to add value even though the papers are buying only the sooner papers and I don't know any numbers.

[1:14:59] I just don't know numbers.

[1:15:00] That should be taxed 30,000 industrial value price of that. And it also will create an unfair farm mortgage across the immediate area across the state.

[1:15:16] I got 30,000 dollars in acre. I got to do a 10-31 exchange. It's currently selling down here. It'll deal for 6,000 acre. I'm going to pay 9 because I can because it's cheaper than paying taxes.

[1:15:30] So, the state, there's a lot of things the state needs to address,

[1:15:36] and now here's where

[1:15:36] I'm going to go into my motion.

[1:15:39] And I have told the people that have contacted me, and most of them have come up more,

[1:15:46] I'm going to make a moratorium motion of 12 months based off of this study in June, which

[1:15:52] you've worked 15 months now.

[1:15:53] I believe the Senate's will get regulations in place the better off we are, and not in the 90s

[1:16:01] and out of much more.

[1:16:03] So my motion is going to be on 26, 19, these are more tolerant of the work 12 months from

[1:16:12] the calendar today, so in additional 12 months.

[1:16:19] Motion by Adams to start a 12-month moratorium as of today in addition to the moratorium that we were in so this will be in this will be a new

[1:16:32] That we thank you

[1:16:35] And start a new

[1:16:37] Calendar 12 month on today. Okay, do we have a second second by Hacksby

[1:16:45] Going along with what you said there, with more of the misinformation, I've received

[1:16:53] things to where there'll be 200 jobs, 250 jobs, not true, not true for

[1:16:58] anything that we've seen. It's more like a 30 job type facility on some

[1:17:04] of these. But without a facility, there's no way to get any information because

[1:17:09] we're talking hypotheticals regardless of what we're looking at.

[1:17:16] I think a pause like that can be very beneficial here, waiting for the state, as you

[1:17:21] said, to catch up on some regulations, as well as we saw the President was talking on some

[1:17:27] things.

[1:17:27] There were some snarky remarks followed by a little more substantive where they're looking at

[1:17:35] to pump the brakes on some of this development for the common good or safety of the information

[1:17:42] it's not so much the data center facilities but the the computing power that they possess.

[1:17:53] So this this is probably going to drop down the next line item but I honestly feel the regulations

[1:18:00] Just in sound, most current check-of-a-valve, 400 tree plants, what is your system, the water plant, the accountability?

[1:18:08] I would ask you to keep that for the next item.

[1:18:11] I just put it in to it in the 12 months.

[1:18:16] There are guidelines out there where there are other communities that have some of these in place.

[1:18:21] And just like all of them, the cherry pickers from somebody else, their copy and face, we get the copy and face and then we change them to fit our needs and desires.

[1:18:32] There is some additional information though, and as a police and I were visiting the other day, Lancaster County has their, it's not their health department.

[1:18:42] Yeah, it's still public health department that does the research and so forth, so sorry.

[1:18:49] It is so Lancaster County has a point to the task force to work on data center regulations.

[1:18:59] And the one thing about Lancaster and what Lancaster is they also have a health department,

[1:19:04] which they review purely due to studies and so forth to help make those educated scientists face

[1:19:11] And that should be done within a few months.

[1:19:15] I don't have it to talk to me.

[1:19:17] Through conversation that I overheard with a couple of months.

[1:19:21] The nice thing about getting this started is that we're started.

[1:19:25] It's locked in the light started.

[1:19:27] And if we need longer time, we can extend.

[1:19:31] So we're better than taking years.

[1:19:33] It's more regulation started.

[1:19:36] A man in that correct and that of everything.

[1:19:39] We've heard of from outside Council whenever we were there.

[1:19:42] I guess I'm putting you on the spot a little bit,

[1:19:44] that we need to get started on.

[1:19:45] That's right, and in order to be appalled against constitutional challenges,

[1:19:51] these types of land restrictions, that's very different in place,

[1:19:55] the better.

[1:19:57] The last time you restrict people's land use,

[1:19:59] that applicable to all those land use, the better.

[1:20:06] You may go have something put out,

[1:20:07] and just somewhere with one statement,

[1:20:08] because it does pertain to that.

[1:20:10] was that more parents should be used

[1:20:12] and would be clearly defined and documented public purpose

[1:20:15] type to legitimate planning, which I think we do.

[1:20:19] We don't have any regulations in place currently

[1:20:22] for data centers, but we do need to take the time

[1:20:25] to make what we have in place prior to the secret improvement.

[1:20:28] So I think that that's very clear reason why they,

[1:20:35] a couple notes just, and all that information I've heard

[1:20:38] to, you know, just for me to put her mother places.

[1:20:41] We, when I was at the National Mago,

[1:20:44] the New Orleans, there was a lot of atomic measure,

[1:20:46] actually spoke there as well.

[1:20:47] He's writing for the National Board.

[1:20:51] He had spoke to us as well.

[1:20:52] The difference between those that we've heard

[1:20:55] that you talked about with Georgia and Virginia,

[1:20:59] their state has different rules.

[1:21:00] First of all, we're a public power.

[1:21:01] So the energy production part is a little bit different

[1:21:04] as well as the property tax.

[1:21:06] So a lot of them said that about 70% of their revenue is personal property.

[1:21:11] Right now we don't have that.

[1:21:13] They say they're going to fix it, but I believe that when I see it,

[1:21:16] because there's a lot of stuff that happens up there and then a lot of stuff that doesn't.

[1:21:20] So I think that that needs to happen for the actually in law rather than just the statement made,

[1:21:27] because that's the fault of this at the moment.

[1:21:29] The sales tax is well, no sales tax exemptions.

[1:21:31] If they're going to be cycling this out every 18 months,

[1:21:34] that would be incredible dollars there so I mean there's a lot of those things that

[1:21:40] we wait and we look at this we get the health report from Lancaster see what they

[1:21:45] come up with we look at the state kind of getting ahead of this as well as the

[1:21:53] fence potentially regulating their out but what's going on there there is a lot of

[1:22:01] in pieces right now that we have to keep reviewing.

[1:22:04] There have been a lot of people get a hold of me that want to 18 month more or more

[1:22:10] tutorial.

[1:22:11] I mean yesterday my phone went crazy because people want to 18 month more tutorial.

[1:22:20] My question I guess would be, as I've heard from people as well, a lot of people have a

[1:22:25] misconception that if we put an 18 month more atorium that will somehow stop a data center

[1:22:36] It could do that. But I think the perception from some is, if we wait 18 months and we look at this and

[1:22:44] re-review it, somehow that will stop a project that if we put five months on or 10 months on or 12 months, somehow

[1:22:52] that wouldn't stop it. So, I mean, that would be my question. Is that the misconception that if there's

[1:22:58] 18-month moratorium, this would somehow end in a different result than a five-month, or...

[1:23:05] Well, they don't want them up there.

[1:23:07] That's the thing.

[1:23:08] I've gotten people that want to ban it, and I've heard that, and it's like, that's not

[1:23:16] what the 18-month moratorium does, if not a van, but that's the real end result that has been

[1:23:22] requested by a lot of folks.

[1:23:24] I'm going to go back there at 12 or 18, the reason I'd be okay

[1:23:28] if going with the club today is that I think it was going to be the past

[1:23:32] and we can always accept it.

[1:23:34] If we're not done, we're going to accept it.

[1:23:39] I mean, just looking at all the other regulation things that we've gone through

[1:23:43] in the past.

[1:23:44] At least if I've met on the board, I don't think we've seen something

[1:23:47] take less than 18 months.

[1:23:49] So I guess we'll see where we get.

[1:23:52] We've had more Koreans in place, and they've taken just as long as one that didn't have a more important place.

[1:23:58] So it's going to take it long as it's going to take to get the regulations in place.

[1:24:03] And I think this is, I believe, it'll end up in a 15-month more terms.

[1:24:07] As I said, it'd be a few months short of that if things get done.

[1:24:13] If they don't get completed, I would agree with Rex.

[1:24:17] that would be, we'd have to just regroup and say, hey, this is a complete,

[1:24:24] not to kick

[1:24:24] the can down the road, but if it's not completed, we just need to ask for more time.

[1:24:31] I think there's just a lot of information to sort through.

[1:24:33] It's going to take a lot of time.

[1:24:35] We have, I mean, just like Lisa had, I mean, we even get information, misinformation, like

[1:24:42] on those potential projects.

[1:24:44] we were told that this project that is being looked at here is going to be in an industrial

[1:24:48] part.

[1:24:49] Well, that's not even possible because it'll be 1261, it says it is a single, private energy

[1:24:56] production.

[1:24:57] It can only be a single use over 1,000 megawatts.

[1:25:01] So, my two centers from where, I mean, I don't want to appreciate getting rolling the

[1:25:06] financial matter.

[1:25:07] So, we do have a lot to sort through, we'll have to make sure that we're really, really looking through to each of it.

[1:25:15] I mean, we got to, I'm just like, the season coming up, some sure things are going to change again.

[1:25:21] Eddie, when you're speaking to those constituents, let's them know that one of the things we're trying to,

[1:25:27] way, or consider engaged kind of, is how do we defend against an attack or a challenge

[1:25:34] to a more courier?

[1:25:36] The more likely, those more couriers that are shorter and sop and duration are more likely

[1:25:45] to be upheld.

[1:25:46] So, if you want something in place to put a pause on applications for data centers, and you

[1:25:53] keep it limited and show some progress. And if you're showing that progress and down the road,

[1:26:00] somebody tries to come in with an application, you say, sorry, we're not taking the applications

[1:26:03] right now because we've done this more important in place, that more terms more likely that

[1:26:08] be upheld. And if you need to extend it because you can show that you're making progress on those

[1:26:12] regulations, it's more likely to happen and has constitutional muster or challenges in the course.

[1:26:23] We are given the benefit of being able to believe everything we need, so we have the responsibility

[1:26:30] to read through the misinformation on both sides and look at what the facts actually are.

[1:26:39] And I know you all do that, it's just we're barred by both sides all the time, so it is digging

[1:26:45] through. For the fear of domestic making this hate man saying, I would still be of the

[1:26:53] opinion that it is a good idea to hold off on this. I think that's the opinion of the board.

[1:27:01] We each have our own opinion though, and I would encourage you to each always give your own

[1:27:07] opinion on this because that's how we get to the board decision. We come at this from a lot of

[1:27:15] agree. But as long as we're all giving our our opinions, we end up with what hopefully

[1:27:22] the greater new to gauges where we all do end up together in the end at a vote, even

[1:27:28] if we don't agree.

[1:27:30] Here's an intentional button for a

[1:27:39] shake. Just for a quick rest.

[1:27:41] You can see the motion that's second to be a moment forward pouring or a further

[1:27:45] resolution, different public more.

[1:27:47] Could we include in that to clearly define the document the purposes that we do not have

[1:27:54] for music just currently and which to get regulations in place.

[1:27:59] If you're both fine with that one, I'd like to read that in motion.

[1:28:07] Thank you.

[1:28:09] Mr. Giergens, the reason why we voted on an eight month board volume, how far are we in the last time?

[1:28:18] Be somewhere around three months.

[1:28:19] Three months.

[1:28:21] And so get your five are added to the 12.

[1:28:27] This will be, this will be 12 months starting today.

[1:28:31] Starting today, so that other, oh, it'll stop or that.

[1:28:36] It'll just be with them, Mr. Lidel.

[1:28:40] And Terry, you know, one of the things that I had not changed

[1:28:45] to talk to Amanda about it, but when we put the eight months

[1:28:47] more authority on mom, we were in a rush to do it.

[1:28:50] And we did it, and I don't recall that we did exactly what Emily

[1:28:54] was just talking about.

[1:28:55] We didn't state the reasons for why we were doing it and everything.

[1:29:01] So it's necessary to go ahead and do this 12 month

[1:29:04] and do it the right way, since we were kind of in a rush

[1:29:08] and didn't be all the things we should have only set the eight months.

[1:29:11] And as Rex touched on this, the next agenda either will give some

[1:29:14] clearer direction to the PNZ as well, Mr. Jones.

[1:29:23] We've got it.

[1:29:24] So tomorrow night we need to get the PNZ.

[1:29:26] We've been filing information for many people.

[1:29:30] Yes.

[1:29:30] We have been compiling information.

[1:29:33] The public has given us a lot of information that our PNZ board needs to mark night.

[1:29:38] They will begin the public side of things, you know, meeting and discussing, reviewing that information.

[1:29:47] We've been looking at definitions, trying to learn more about the industry.

[1:29:52] That's where we're at is finding those subject matter experts that can really share, you know, not only the experience.

[1:30:00] This is but also, you know, again, just disadvantages, things of that nature, that can be the license point. So, their goal certainly to all of the board is to contribute to this task, it's just that you realize that they need specific data regulations and also more information and more guidance statewide and federally.

[1:30:24] We

[1:30:28] have a motion by Adam, second by Hacksby, to approve a 12-month moratorium, which will be

[1:30:36] in the release of 26-19 on data senate permits, because we do not have clear regulations

[1:30:44] currently in place.

[1:30:48] The questions comments,

[1:30:54] if not, I would ask you to please vote.

[1:30:59] Seven in favour of motion carries.

[1:31:03] Next item is discussion and approve or disperse direction of downstair regulations to planning and zoning commission.

[1:31:13] This has been additional parts of our discussion as board and also at the P&Z.

[1:31:20] There are items that we've been asked to regulate that we have no authority over.

[1:31:25] I lean towards as little regulations possible by the government because regulations generally like a cancer.

[1:31:32] It doesn't go away on its own if it's bigger and it grows quickly.

[1:31:37] So we always want to try to provide an environment for any business to grow as well as possible

[1:31:43] and be as unrestrictive as possible while still protecting the residents.

[1:31:49] Some of the things that we cannot regulate, but their agencies that do are water, sewer,

[1:32:00] air discharge, storm discharge, air discharge, there's a lot that we cannot regulate.

[1:32:09] There are some items that we can, and some of those Rex mentioned, setbacks, sound.

[1:32:18] I think it could be a really good idea for our PNZ to talk to other PNZs or regulators

[1:32:26] in areas that have these facilities so that we know what are the issues so that we can address

[1:32:34] them. Also, what are the benefits? If they have benefits, generally it doesn't matter what

[1:32:40] it is, it's going to be something good and something bad that that way they can look at both

[1:32:44] of those and try to get a good overall picture of what we're regulating, Ms. Axby.

[1:32:50] I saw this on the agenda today, and I wasn't quite sure why it was on here, because we already sent a letter back to April.

[1:32:59] It certainly wasn't clear enough.

[1:33:00] You'll look at industry and data center regulations.

[1:33:04] I don't think that's specified, and I think we're almost micro managing what they look at by doing that,

[1:33:09] and I think that we would have to know a lot more to be able to tell them what to look at.

[1:33:15] By leaving it open, they can look at what they think is necessary.

[1:33:18] So I don't think that we have to do this today.

[1:33:20] I don't think it's necessary that we have specific ideas.

[1:33:24] We can pass along to them and we can do that without dealing with another directives

[1:33:28] that we already did that day.

[1:33:29] And I think we can open them in a lot of them and look at it and learn because we don't.

[1:33:35] I'm going to seek for myself.

[1:33:37] I don't know enough to tell them what to look at.

[1:33:39] There's a lot of stuff in dictating what they looked at.

[1:33:43] I think they'd be too late if they could just...

[1:33:45] I think we're kind of hamstringing ourselves in the aspect that everything is verb,

[1:33:54] state of saying we can't have a list of power source stuff, some policies.

[1:33:59] You know, we did say industry and that is something.

[1:34:02] So we just need to keep the focus at this.

[1:34:07] Maybe the industrial park is verb-each because it is going to be an industrial

[1:34:15] I will make a motion to

[1:34:20] give the timing of the zone in some direction these are just ideas to expand

[1:34:26] look at and continue all of this.

[1:34:29] In a regulation of distance, for such that distance in the aspect of small, large medium,

[1:34:37] and make a letter to the column, sound, for all four categories.

[1:34:44] The most current technical uses they can on either environmental and friendly, or

[1:34:53] either a true plan, close loop as a minimum with a water plan and accountability for the

[1:35:01] water plan, which I really don't have to do through the NRD, but we can be included on that.

[1:35:06] If there's a waste water system from where there may be that, I found in the areas the idea.

[1:35:14] You have to structure concerns, roads, bridges, transmission lines, gas lines,

[1:35:21] meaning, public use that could be affected by a thousand people going over for how long it is.

[1:35:34] So those tasks, I know that, is the state of Nebraska,

[1:35:37] a professional property tax, the state of Nebraska,

[1:35:41] enforcement of violations.

[1:35:44] I don't know how we've ever been doing that now, but if you look at it,

[1:35:49] and don't worry about what our emotion is on the pots to start with,

[1:35:53] and that can be related, that can be expanded upon.

[1:35:57] So again, I

[1:36:02] think it's important with that,

[1:36:05] with that motion that it's what Rex said is that it's a start and it's ideas that can be expanded on.

[1:36:15] It's not just exclusively this. Here's some starting ideas and continue to have more knowledge on all of it.

[1:36:26] And that's something to keep in mind too. Some of those that you talked about water usage, things like that as well as

[1:36:34] We may not have things in place to regulate or to enforce those, but if you fall out of compliance on any of those, the state does shut you down and they do enforce that.

[1:36:47] I saw a video last night, and it's somebody with a thermal drone showing pollution.

[1:36:55] Well, it wasn't showing pollution.

[1:36:57] I mean, it could be thermal pollution, but it's showing hot gases going up.

[1:37:02] Is there greenhouse gases any time you're burning anything?

[1:37:04] There is.

[1:37:07] But places do have regulation, whether we deal with it or not,

[1:37:13] everything has to be walked from the state, does regulate that very closely.

[1:37:20] I guess I would encourage B&Z to talk to places that have facilities in place already.

[1:37:27] And if that means us paying for them to take trips to go talk to.

[1:37:30] I wouldn't be opposed to that. I think it's important to have one on one with people so that they can get the real story and sometimes saying in front of someone, you get a better story than over the phone.

[1:37:42] How many of these centers in the office right now?

[1:37:46] At least two.

[1:37:48] You know what I mean?

[1:37:49] These are small spaces.

[1:37:50] They're small spaces.

[1:37:52] I think so.

[1:37:53] I don't know if this necessary to do this as we are,

[1:37:56] except at the time back in April with a letter and everything.

[1:37:59] But if we are going to do that,

[1:38:01] I think that we shall also be including

[1:38:03] at least include electric production.

[1:38:08] As part of that, to look at what it would take to cause these

[1:38:11] And then also leaving it open ended in anything else that we will be necessary.

[1:38:24] New years ago, when these deaths have started, none of this was really negotiable.

[1:38:31] And now everything is negotiable.

[1:38:44] I would also say, depending on what you want to do, these can be regulated to the point where

[1:38:52] they can't be built here.

[1:38:54] And I'm not saying that's a good or bad option.

[1:38:57] It's just also an option we have neighbor in counties that I know are working with companies like this and Lancaster is a good example because we can talk with them really easily.

[1:39:10] They have multiple data centers going in right now.

[1:39:13] Or I should say large scale.

[1:39:15] I don't know if it's a data center.

[1:39:17] We throw that word out is kind of like for my kids just a general term over everything.

[1:39:22] But we do have neighbors that we can visit with about these things.

[1:39:26] When we sat listening about public power, CEO of Omaha Public Power CEO, when they started

[1:39:33] talking about this, and that would have been about a year ago, they talked about our

[1:39:40] prequel infrastructure shortage.

[1:39:43] We don't have enough electrical power right now, our infrastructure is vulnerable, and

[1:39:52] They never really promoted one way or other antibiotics because, you know, they're in public power.

[1:39:58] Whatever builds this, they've got to go into their grid down the road and back off their grid where they were stolen.

[1:40:05] But they did talk about the Texas, the opening number, the ice storm for four years going into that was, and the power of collapse.

[1:40:15] that they want to make it to where the state of the basket.

[1:40:20] And if there's a shortage and we've got a draw-up of the structure of the infrastructure of the grid.

[1:40:26] But these places may not power to the global matter of whether it may be.

[1:40:30] It goes back in to feed the grid to be the rest of the world, not the world, the United States.

[1:40:37] But they're like crazy.

[1:40:38] So the state of Nebraska, we're such a small piece.

[1:40:42] And there's the same bus that you need to step up and get some things coming up.

[1:40:51] Nice accent.

[1:40:51] I just didn't know if I had to make enough, like I, if you were going to, what would

[1:40:54] include it?

[1:40:55] Or if I had to make enough performance, so it would include energy production and anything else

[1:41:00] they'd be necessary.

[1:41:02] If you're okay with adding that to the, to the most, I mean, it's all far to the, to grow.

[1:41:07] It's all part of the animal there.

[1:41:08] So that's all we are.

[1:41:10] You can come to one of the area.

[1:41:11] Are you all right with that, Mr. Lyle?

[1:41:13] address will be the most in the inside of these, the virus oppression, you know, all of

[1:41:18] those of them all who look up, the emergency operation plan, the standard operating plan,

[1:41:22] fire districts.

[1:41:25] Mr. Lido, are you all right with adding that to the motion? Energy production?

[1:41:30] Energy production?

[1:41:35] Energy production? Energy production? Energy production? Energy production?

[1:41:39] they're going to be on their own kind of stand-alone private energy producer, do they want us anywhere?

[1:41:46] Yeah, I have no problems with looking at it.

[1:41:48] And then anything else, they've been necessary.

[1:41:51] That's part of the stock and the P&Z members.

[1:41:56] They felt overwhelmed.

[1:41:58] As I talked to them, they said, well, this is a huge industry.

[1:42:00] There's so many components to it.

[1:42:02] And I said it is.

[1:42:05] You have no authority over the first five things you talked about.

[1:42:09] about. Plus you shouldn't. We shouldn't have so many different groups. I have so much control

[1:42:15] from the government on private industry. Some people like to see things grow through subsidy

[1:42:22] from the government. I would rather see it come from private investment. If we don't have private

[1:42:29] investment, we just have government subsidy, grants, things like that on everything. We need private

[1:42:34] investment that actually pays for everything, while still protecting the rest of the public.

[1:42:40] This is an aggression for PNZ.

[1:42:43] This is just calling the keystone to me about taking valuable egg laying out of production.

[1:42:50] And I just want to counter that with another thought.

[1:42:54] If that is seriously it, why have we not eliminated CRP programs?

[1:43:00] I don't think there's both reductionist group issues.

[1:43:05] The next thing is, if we're serious on taking a plan, I'm going to let you

[1:43:10] learn to make proven sprawl, which they walk away from the inner cities

[1:43:15] and they keep expanding out.

[1:43:18] There's more ground lost that way.

[1:43:24] And all of us go to Lincoln and we'll come in off the south side.

[1:43:28] And there's thousands of acres right there that disappeared in the last 40 years.

[1:43:32] So that's just a thought on.

[1:43:37] It's a scary situation.

[1:43:40] Everyone recognizes what we need it.

[1:43:43] You can't imagine buying a bank or a hospital.

[1:43:45] You can't go to the doctor.

[1:43:46] You can't go to the doctor.

[1:43:47] You can't go to the doctor.

[1:43:48] You can't go to the doctor.

[1:43:49] But none of us wanted to go to the doctor.

[1:43:51] But where do they go?

[1:43:53] They go to where the infrastructure is.

[1:43:55] And that is the gas zones, that is the transmission lines, and if they need to add it, it will add it to some places.

[1:44:04] They're just parts of the county that are not infrastructure friendly.

[1:44:09] I don't know what their business is to add it to take it to those parts of the county.

[1:44:15] What is opportunity to get it to other places in the county and get that infrastructure to those places?

[1:44:25] There's consideration, those are thoughts.

[1:44:27] I think it's not laying past here that the big hybrid scale is because it's the city of Lincoln.

[1:44:33] They pretty much clarified that better.

[1:44:35] I don't mean it was not them.

[1:44:37] But so the city of Lincoln, but they didn't think put in, it was like a few two hours.

[1:44:41] I find it something like that.

[1:44:43] The data center itself.

[1:44:44] Yeah, that's kind of what Rex is saying, the amount of infrastructure, these places,

[1:44:48] put in is almost unlimited at times,

[1:44:51] but that still doesn't make it right or wrong depending on,

[1:44:54] just because they'll spend the money on things.

[1:44:56] doesn't mean that we give them a free pass on anything.

[1:45:04] I don't know if you'll ever find a better location than anywhere. I don't be in this location, I'm talking. I'm going to use the wildly reference, which you guys have heard me reference. There's one out there that's in the middle of nowhere. The nearest house is five miles away. And that is the mantra that sold them. I don't think it's written on the papers out there. It's small.

[1:45:30] But here's the moment, it's sold at home, and there's still a lot of position on where there's no end, and we don't want it out here, so I don't know if there's any place that is the right thing to do.

[1:45:42] And that's the sad part when you look closer to it, the person in fact, the emotions coming to play.

[1:45:50] And we just need to make sure there's regulations set that we feel will protect the majority of the people.

[1:45:57] And that's the hard thing on this, regulations do not protect everyone.

[1:46:04] If a project and I don't care if it's the gentleman brought up an oil refinery, we need

[1:46:12] oil refinery.

[1:46:14] If you were right next door, there could be effects.

[1:46:17] In today's climate right now, we would not have energy atoms.

[1:46:20] The energy atoms is a vital part of our county's production producers' purchasers.

[1:46:30] So without the energy, our queen prices are different.

[1:46:33] Without plants like that, without elevators, our producers are driving forever.

[1:46:42] The thing to keep in mind on this or anything else is we need to try to be fair across

[1:46:48] the board. Whenever there's something that some people don't like, we want to overregulate

[1:46:53] it. When it's something that we want, we want to pull regulations away. We can't do that,

[1:46:59] we need to be flat and fair. We don't impose things on one industry or group that we aren't

[1:47:07] going to impose everywhere else. They heard that on wind regulations. Wind regulations,

[1:47:13] we have wind down to a whisper, but we can have an irrigation motor running with no mufflers

[1:47:20] 24 hours a day. We're going to have bin fans running. We can run equipment. We can do all

[1:47:26] these other things but this one industry we didn't like so we regulated them down to nothing so that

[1:47:32] it's all but impossible to work. That's not fair to that industry either. Now I can't say I'm

[1:47:38] order, wind or anything else. It's just what we need to try to be there if we're looking at

[1:47:44] regulations and not be over a cell of sea there. Anything else for this? We have a motion

[1:47:49] in a second by Adams and Lydal.

[1:47:53] If there are other items that you would like to feed to PMZ,

[1:47:58] I would ask that we do that through Lisa so that she can get it out to everyone.

[1:48:07] With this

[1:48:07] overwhelming to your your commission as several of them have said you may remind them also they

[1:48:15] have no authority over multiple things and there's no reason to make you know they can study those

[1:48:20] but they are not going to set regulations on things that they have no authority on

[1:48:30] it just remind

[1:48:32] them that you know you'll let it go you're not going to need an elephant one by the time take you know

[1:48:38] One little bites or two one thing in a time.

[1:48:41] If it takes 12 months, if it takes 20 months, if it takes 24 months, it doesn't, you know.

[1:48:47] It takes a time we need to get it right, let's try it and do it, let's try it.

[1:48:50] Do it the right way, but it is overwhelming.

[1:48:54] I mean, this is a huge industry and we have nothing on the books right now.

[1:48:58] So it is a huge undertaking to small steps.

[1:49:05] All right, was there's nothing else, please vote.

[1:49:13] Seven of the favors sending that list to planning and zoning.

[1:49:17] Do you want a formal letter from us?

[1:49:22] Could you have rough notes on that, Boris?

[1:49:24] I'm in the already done.

[1:49:25] Thank you.

[1:49:26] Thank you.

[1:49:27] I was taking those as the one.

[1:49:29] I need to.

[1:49:30] I'm not your one.

[1:49:31] I'm not your one.

[1:49:33] Thank you.

[1:49:34] I was usually come back to me.

[1:49:41] I don't know, not really, there's folks here here.

[1:49:45] Approved disapproved resolution 26-20, which would adopt the county budget for fiscal year 26-27.

[1:49:57] We have seen approximately 24.3 million in growth in the county, our evaluation has gone

[1:50:04] by much more than that. The overall valuation of the county has gone up closer to 300 million.

[1:50:17] A lot of that is the reassessment.

[1:50:22] That valuation increase is just under 8% at 7.86.

[1:50:27] Our mill levy will be going down by almost 5% but that equates to a 2.5% increase in property tax.

[1:50:36] I've seen some crazy increases in different areas that is not two and a half percent across the board,

[1:50:42] but overall our property tax asking at the county level will be increasing by two and a half percent.

[1:50:51] This is the most discussion we've had over our county budget that I remember since, well probably for five or six years, maybe seven years.

[1:51:02] We had a split on trying to keep it down or we're almost doubling and increasing it by several more percent.

[1:51:13] We visited through these things and we ended up keeping that down.

[1:51:18] I think that's very important.

[1:51:19] We try to keep our tax asking as low as possible while still being able to operate.

[1:51:26] Our unused property tax request for this year is about $600,000.

[1:51:32] So, I don't know if there's any comment or question from the board on this budget.

[1:51:39] Thank you.

[1:51:40] Motion by Hatsby, second by Lionel, to approve Resolution 26-20.

[1:51:47] Approving fiscal year 26-27 budget.

[1:51:51] Please vote.

[1:51:54] Seven in favour, motion carries.

[1:51:59] Up next, approve a Disapprove Resolution 26-21.

[1:52:03] 21, setting the 26, 27 tax request at a different rate than the 25, 26 tax request.

[1:52:13] Motion by Hector.

[1:52:14] Second by Lightle.

[1:52:17] Any discussion on this item?

[1:52:23] 7 in favor.

[1:52:27] We've already discussed the next item and voted on it.

[1:52:33] We can. We will take a 10-minute recess at 1046. When we come back, we will go into closed session

[1:52:42] ago, depending with litigation. After that closed session, we will have an accident.

[1:52:51] Sorry.

[1:52:57] We will reconvene at 1056, necessary for the protection of the public interest. I'd ask for

[1:53:02] motion to go into closed session to discuss potential litigation motion by

[1:53:07] Donn second by Claybaw.

[1:53:12] Please vote 1047. I'm sorry, 1056.

[1:53:18] 1047. We're 1047. I'm sorry. I read my writing road.

[1:53:25] Motion by Donn. Second by Claybaw to go into closed session 1057.

[1:53:31] five in favor as Mr. Jurgen's and Ms. Hacks be hit left.

[1:53:38] We're in close session.

[1:53:40] It's crazy though.

[1:53:41] All right, you're on.

[1:53:44] I asked for a motion to come out of close session.

[1:53:46] At 11, 21 on the clock zone for potential litigation,

[1:53:50] motion by light.

[1:53:52] Second by door.

[1:53:57] Please vote, six in favour, Ms. Axe, we have returned.

[1:54:05] Last on the agenda, approve a disapprove action on step 3, wages paid on June 14, 26, to June

[1:54:11] 27, 26, for the grievance filed by the FLP, I'd ask for a motion to approve the action

[1:54:18] of the sheriff and instruct, Jerry Pigsley, to write a response.

[1:54:23] So I can move by Adams, second by Dorn, anything else on that, Mr. Pigsley, anything from the board.

[1:54:36] If not, please vote six and favor motion carries. Is there anything else for the good of the order before we adjourn today?

[1:54:48] If not, we will adjourn at 11.22.

Untitled meeting
