So we may need to construct something in 55 00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:26,420 that building or the home building. But overall we talked about the truck, we 56 00:03:26,420 --> 00:03:33,720 talked about and the fire chief was there so we were able to be clear and he understood. 57 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,380 We'll hope.

We need the green 59 00:03:47,140 --> 00:03:57,020 needs to come from us to them, how they can use the building. So I think Carr is going 60 00:03:57,020 --> 00:03:59,960 to get with you and try to talk about my agreement. 61 00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:04,180 We also talked about use of vehicles and 62 00:04:04,180 --> 00:04:04,560 insurance. 63 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:20,960 You know, they only owe $200 or $200, sorry, $177 on the building and when, you know, 64 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:28,860 we have Camille here and she has a lot of institutional knowledge, like knowing that it was 65 00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:32,900 a municipal building authority building, we didn't know that until Camille brought that 66 00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:33,060 out. 67 00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:48,960 She said the original intent was once the bonds are paid for but we would turn the building 68 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,100 over to them and they're completely responsive. 69 00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:55,740 And I have a proposal to talk about that. 70 00:04:56,060 --> 00:04:56,880 We can talk about that. 71 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,960 Yeah, we can discuss that, and I have some ideas as well. 72 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:09,360 Okay, I just, you know, those kind of things you just don't want to escape, because that's, that's important. 73 00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:12,440 Yeah, there's several things like that are going to clean up before you do. 74 00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:19,940 Okay, ten of the one in Utah summit is only able to get one day in, but, 75 00:05:19,940 --> 00:05:25,600 It was excellent. They talked about, there's a lot of mining going on around the country 76 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:35,000 around the state. They're in Green River and a lot of areas and springing some economic 77 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,650 development areas and some resources into the state. It's great to listen to those. 78 00:05:50,910 --> 00:05:51,590 They're 79 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:59,550 electrical components were in Enoch, and so anyways, and then they talked about public 80 00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:05,590 land with Representative Alois and her with Red Johnson, and they just stubbed a 81 00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:11,690 lot of the propaganda that's going on and told Jerry I said I wonder because he was 82 00:06:11,690 --> 00:06:17,190 attending too, but I said I wonder how do you see it hopefully? Well, and so the new talk 83 00:06:17,190 --> 00:06:22,910 because you hear so much crap on the internet, just attacking them, saying they're going to sell 84 00:06:22,910 --> 00:06:28,090 private lands. Her opponents saying that there's some public lands that they laid it out, 85 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:34,330 that they don't have for sale, they're still protected under the Dinger Species Act, 86 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:40,670 the Wilson Assacks, the Footland, everything. All the protections are there, but the posing views 87 00:06:40,670 --> 00:06:48,890 to this monument reduction continue to pop propaganda, and it is propaganda because it's not based in truth. 88 00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:59,770 It's still public land, it's still protected under red list of probably 15 protection acts that protect public land. 89 00:06:59,770 --> 00:07:02,470 And so, but I thought it was great, 90 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,220 and then they received well. 91 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,060 So, good. 92 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,340 That's the truth. 93 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:10,240 Good. 94 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,800 A lot of elected officials there, that reflects the people. 95 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,220 So, I thought that was really well. 96 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,540 And other than that, I don't have anything else right now. 97 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Thank you, Commissioner. 98 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,000 I'll start with propaganda. 99 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,000 And I've been saying this my entire career, 100 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,060 because one of the first things I learned, and I'm sure that commissioner-elect 101 00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:42,020 Birch will learn, is what you see in the media and what the special interest group 102 00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:46,980 say is absolutely opposite of actual on-the-ground facts. 103 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,560 Fact 1, when we reduced it the first time, all of the businesses in Canabbe 104 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,080 was crying, we were going to go bankrupt, this is terrible. 105 00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:04,540 on and on when I testified in Washington, DC with a business in Eskland, and one in Can 106 00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:10,700 I have been on the end of the world, the visitation went up when we reduced it the first time. 107 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,980 I think because nobody even knew that it was there. 108 00:08:15,020 --> 00:08:20,240 But visitation in the Vista Center's went up, not in a little bit, a lot. 109 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:30,120 So, that's one big one. The problem I have with the propaganda is they have a money machine. 110 00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:35,020 They're an industry. They're a multi-billion dollar industry. And that's it. 111 00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:45,980 So, Sierra Club, Wild Utah, wilderness society, they are an industry. 112 00:08:45,980 --> 00:08:49,140 and people, that's what we need to educate the public. 113 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,440 These people are in business. 114 00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:52,100 This is their money, cash cow. 115 00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:55,880 They have to have hate, misery, and discontent 116 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,560 towards us and what we do on public lines, 117 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:01,980 because that's what pays the membership bills. 118 00:09:02,420 --> 00:09:04,000 I mean, that's what brings people in. 119 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,580 So, I'm glad you did that, but I am gonna recommend this to me. 120 00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:14,020 He didn't add a while back and they put it on TV, 121 00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:19,980 We're talking about vegetating treatments and the value and it was a huge success. 122 00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:27,120 What regularly needs to focus on is the state needs to once again do that and come out 123 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,920 with fact versus fiction, put it on TV, put it on social media, get it out there, especially 124 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,280 about this grand staircase. 125 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:42,220 So and the good thing about the grand staircase, these lands are protected, they're managed 126 00:09:42,220 --> 00:09:48,440 by the same agency, the Bureau of Land Management still manages the lands. It's just the way they 127 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:54,360 should be managed on the multiple use lands versus the canyons of the Escalanti, which was the 128 00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:01,040 180,000 was all it should have ever been. That was even proposed by Garfield County in the early 90s. 129 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,480 And the reason they put the other end, this is not propaganda. Bill Clinton admitted this 130 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,520 to stop the parallax, coal mine, period, end of discussion. 131 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,580 So, I do have some good news on mining. I'm not going to say exact locations, 132 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,740 but we have some mining coming back to Garfield County. 133 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:28,360 Thanks to the Trump administration and his initiatives on mining, on public lands, 134 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:36,820 93% of this county is federal, 3.5% state, so there are some mines coming back. 135 00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:43,120 And one that was closed in the 1970s due to economic conditions is coming back because 136 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:51,580 of the demand for rare earth minerals and batteries and such, you know, these things. 137 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,160 So I've been working with a few groups trying to educate them. 138 00:10:55,180 --> 00:11:00,420 They have questions, and I've spent a lot of time on that as I should as in my administrative 139 00:11:00,420 --> 00:11:01,740 role as a commissioner. 140 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:28,100 I have a good announcement I like because I'm pro sawmill any kind of management, active management 141 00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:34,880 to the forest is good, period. We've got to start managing our forests correctly, like they used 142 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:41,900 to be managed before these horrendous build-ups of fuel, which creates, once the fire goes, you've 143 00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:46,840 got all this fuel, what's going to happen? You're going to have a catastrophic event like on the 144 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,680 Cottonwood Fire, Brian Head Fire, all over the state of Utah and all over the western United States. Now 145 00:11:52,680 --> 00:12:00,620 Now, the company, as announced, I won't go into any details that they have been awarded 146 00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:03,380 a grant from USDA to do pilots. 147 00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:11,360 The good news about pilots is there's really an unlimited resource of, the reason USDA 148 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:17,640 is involved is because they're over the forest service and they have all this resource out 149 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160 there that nobody can use on the commercial market. 150 00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:23,660 It's not the case with pilots. 151 00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:26,300 Once they make a pilot, they can sell it. 152 00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:30,380 There's the hot market and it's not going to go down. 153 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,180 The demand is not going to go down. 154 00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:38,700 So I'm happy to announce that, that we have a company that's 155 00:12:39,340 --> 00:12:43,100 starting that congressional tour. 156 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,180 Commissioner Taylor and Commissioner Pearson from Beaver County 157 00:12:48,180 --> 00:12:49,620 do a wonderful job with that. 158 00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:55,420 We bring these, they bring them, we bring them, we'll tour them tomorrow up to Powell Point. 159 00:12:55,900 --> 00:13:01,020 We bring them into our county and we bring them into the state Commissioner Ted said on the fires, 160 00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:03,920 I'm sure they're going to tour a fire scene. 161 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,200 And these are Washington DC people that they live in their own little bubble back east. 162 00:13:10,340 --> 00:13:12,700 They don't even know we exist out here. 163 00:13:13,220 --> 00:13:18,860 And when they do come out here, they come out to see a rice canyon, grand canyon, Zion, whatever, and go home. 164 00:13:18,860 --> 00:13:25,620 Well, these folks tour for a week through the state, and specifically Garfield County and 165 00:13:25,620 --> 00:13:32,080 probably Beaver County, and they get to see what this is all about, public lands. 166 00:13:32,380 --> 00:13:38,180 And I've been on several tours, and I tell these young folks, their staff members, mostly 167 00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:42,740 of Democrats back in DC, that they're blown away. 168 00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:48,680 They've been told so many, back to propaganda, so many lies about forest fires and climate 169 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:54,940 change and you know and you just show them and they're blown away so I think that's we need 170 00:13:54,940 --> 00:14:03,040 to command Commissioner Taylor and Commissioner Pearson. However, Kaden, Dave, and Fallon, she's not here. 171 00:14:03,860 --> 00:14:07,660 Will you be on standby tomorrow or if you are then recruited? Do 172 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,660 we 173 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,480 have any ATVs do we have now? 174 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,860 side by side.

They might want to look just up above the pine lake for 179 00:14:47,630 --> 00:14:49,870 You can get through, but it's nasty. 180 00:14:56,660 --> 00:14:59,140 He's the specialist. He's not there. 181 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,740 And it's an emergency. 182 00:15:03,460 --> 00:15:07,760 Anyway, and he doesn't like to walk equipment very far so he can touch 183 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:13,860 it up, I'm sure with whatever.

Back to the forest 187 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:37,460 Just with having another meeting with the State Forestry and Forest Service in Garfield County, 188 00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:44,060 we're coordinating on a good neighbor authority agreement and we've got some good things 189 00:15:44,060 --> 00:15:44,460 happening. 190 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,020 I have 2 p.m. today. 191 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,520 It's an administrative meeting day. 192 00:15:48,020 --> 00:15:54,740 If you want to attend Dr. Birch 2 p.m., Commissioner-elect Birch. 193 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:05,660 And that's on the new plan we have to deliver the resource for pallets, green timber and everything else to the sawmill scheme speak. 194 00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:11,200 With that, that's all I have. Let's go to public works. 195 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:11,820 You 196 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:24,960 know the new group was able to help out with the firm they've finished the parking lot. 197 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,000 Well you tell them we really appreciate them and their help with the commissioners there. 198 00:16:39,410 --> 00:16:49,310 Yeah, they were working on the parking lot for the airport, so they did just a gravel parking lot, expansion for the air show, those types of things. 199 00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:54,430 We had a little bigger events there, and the parking was limited, so we had the road to Trudeau. 200 00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:59,050 Spatting that out, they had their own gravel pit right there, so it wasn't too big. 201 00:16:59,050 --> 00:17:07,390 but we got them. They have an outtropic, we talked about the spring projects, we had a 202 00:17:07,390 --> 00:17:13,650 spring that was dry, there's going to be that out and go a little deeper, put a new 203 00:17:13,650 --> 00:17:20,030 appropriate pipe in and hopefully a little bit more water out of that spring. We had a 204 00:17:20,030 --> 00:17:24,750 quite a few washouts with these rain events, but the road crews been out, getting things 205 00:17:24,750 --> 00:17:30,410 back open, we just have some more rain in the forecast for this week. I'm assuming that 206 00:17:30,410 --> 00:17:36,970 we'll probably have, especially with all of these recent fires, France Canyon has created 207 00:17:36,970 --> 00:17:46,350 issues for old town hatch, those types of areas. So we're seeing some bigger washouts where 208 00:17:46,350 --> 00:17:52,110 we haven't had them historically just because of these burning scars. So yeah, anytime 209 00:17:52,110 --> 00:18:00,110 train will probably be fixing the roads a little bit more of this next week with the 210 00:18:00,110 --> 00:18:07,590 forecast.

So, to come and say, we have to pay out all of the 508 00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:50,520 employees that all of the employees have, consider a point. 509 00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:55,660 So that's my ability to carry the long-term. 510 00:37:55,720 --> 00:38:06,300 Yeah, that's a PES 1.6, but the cotton can say to that, since it will carry the PES 870.000. 511 00:38:06,580 --> 00:38:09,320 That's a lot of cotton. 512 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:16,980 That's a sickly reputation and confiding all the bad. 513 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,140 I just have to clarify that we have no debt. 514 00:38:22,740 --> 00:38:24,860 That's a big deal with me. 515 00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:28,340 That looks good. 516 00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:36,800 I study this every month right here. 517 00:38:37,140 --> 00:38:40,380 Any finding or recommendations that we're concerned? 518 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,400 Well, it's all concerning. 519 00:38:44,400 --> 00:39:02,200 Well, I mean, the very back, that new legislation makes us do the TRT and the TRCC and we worked 520 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:09,540 up together with the EMS, with the search policy, with the Sheriff's Office, they worked 521 00:39:09,540 --> 00:39:18,980 with this down. And kind of, and I worked on it to get those forms filled out. And it has to be included in the audits. 522 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,040 That's very massive. 523 00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:27,100 Doesn't look like that. 524 00:39:31,980 --> 00:39:44,860 Okay, so there were some vehicles that were, yeah, there were some vehicles left on that asset list, and I take responsibility for it. 525 00:39:44,860 --> 00:39:57,160 The last year, yeah, in 2025, we rebuilt the trash compactor at the Josh Valley Land 526 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:02,320 and it was all $1 million, it was $970,000. 527 00:40:02,620 --> 00:40:10,120 I did not put it in as a new asset because it was repaired to our old habit and they wanted 528 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,040 me to put it in as a new asset. 529 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:20,680 So that's the main thing because if that value needed to be added and start 530 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:26,180 appreciation because the old one had been completely depreciated, that was my 531 00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:34,580 bad. It's big enough that they bought it. I feel like you're the same thing. 532 00:40:34,580 --> 00:40:37,200 And it is what it is. 533 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:44,520 And then, when this is me too, I missed getting the minutes 534 00:40:45,180 --> 00:40:48,040 on the public notes website within a three days, 535 00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,700 a couple of times, so they wrote stuff on that again. 536 00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:53,280 This one makes me happy that I'm going to do something 537 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:53,960 about this year. 538 00:40:54,860 --> 00:40:57,000 We were caring too much for us. 539 00:40:59,460 --> 00:41:00,300 Good problem to have. 540 00:41:01,140 --> 00:41:03,180 But we did some transfer to the capital 541 00:41:03,180 --> 00:41:05,140 for the capital approval fund, right? 542 00:41:05,140 --> 00:41:15,000 Well, you mentioned a half of it this year, so it was mostly carryover, but we'll make sure 543 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,040 that it's taking care of you for the end of the year. 544 00:41:17,220 --> 00:41:19,660 But that's a good problem to have. I don't mind that at all. 545 00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:26,020 There was one comment in the M-madement discussion now. 546 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,420 So this is because of our great clerk on stage 9 at the very bottom. 547 00:41:30,420 --> 00:41:37,500 Dr. Kennedy continues to employ conservative debt management practices and maintain that 548 00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:43,040 levels that are manageable relative to financial resources, operation needs in the long-term 549 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:43,600 obligation. 550 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:54,120 And that's because this good clerk, she does represent the serve mechanism. 551 00:41:54,540 --> 00:41:57,340 I thought I was conservative time at the middle of the morning. 552 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,700 Well, these banks, that's a good thought round at the barbershop. 553 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,100 They can't be seen in Vietnam. 554 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,280 We could weather a storm. 555 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,820 We weathered one in 2020 and we were in this vision. 556 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:18,500 How would you like to be a corporation and have a business portfolio like that? 557 00:42:19,020 --> 00:42:20,460 There's not one in Utah. 558 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,680 No debt, surplus money. 559 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:32,600 a lot of it, a strong fiscal responsibility each year to keep things tight. I mean, it really 560 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:39,680 is run like a business. We really have. I mean, there's no question it helped to have 561 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,400 three business owners. 562 00:42:45,060 --> 00:42:49,560 I think the people of Garfield County need to know, and they need to know, 563 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:54,280 So they get a tax increase and they think that the commissioners have raised taxes no. 564 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,180 I've never raised taxes. 565 00:42:57,660 --> 00:43:05,680 If the commissioner has to raise taxes 95% of the time, it's because the budget doesn't 566 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,920 balance at the end of the year and you have nothing to take out a surplus to cover it. 567 00:43:10,380 --> 00:43:11,660 You have no other choice. 568 00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:17,680 So as far as spending goes and everything, I really appreciate the team we've had here 569 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:25,060 because we have the commissioners thanks to our good auditor, business manager, 570 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,940 whatever. We've never raised taxes. That tax increased last fall. I have nothing 571 00:43:30,940 --> 00:43:36,040 to do with the commissioners. So I'm hoping going forward we'll be able to keep 572 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:42,580 that model because Camille and I both know 16 years ago we didn't know. We really 573 00:43:42,580 --> 00:43:49,120 did. We had some tough times. It's not like this just happened overnight. But we've worked 574 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:54,280 hard and we've got to a good place and it really is nice. You don't have to worry about 575 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:59,340 going through truth and taxation and going with your hat and hand to the public and saying, 576 00:43:59,540 --> 00:44:03,180 we've got to raise taxes because we can't balance our, we're not running things right 577 00:44:03,180 --> 00:44:03,820 basically. 578 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:09,160 Well, you know, you know, we paid cash for the remodeling in this building. 579 00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:10,280 Thanks to you. 580 00:44:10,780 --> 00:44:12,000 You stored that. 581 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,860 You saved that long before I come around. 582 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:23,960 And we're prepared to pay cash, hopefully, with some grant funding to do the expansion on the jail. 583 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:29,760 And we just paid cash for the remodel at the hospital. 584 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:38,160 We're doing what needs to be done, we're not bonding for any of those projects, we're 585 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:43,620 not letting things go, we're not doing what we need to do to keep things up, we just 586 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:51,580 save and we can't catch them, that makes a huge difference to be able to do that and 587 00:44:51,580 --> 00:44:58,960 And people, what person in particular, it has the issue with our self plus. 588 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:31,230 But if we don't have the surplus, we can't, we won't be able to maintain doing what we can do with it. But if you look at the revenue that comes into our county, most of its intergovernmental sales hacks are tier t tied to tourism, which, if you have a dip in those, you don't have the funding and property tax, but just based on the property tax. 589 00:45:31,230 --> 00:45:35,350 How many weeks could we operate the county in the 16th? 590 00:45:35,790 --> 00:45:37,290 No, about 20 days. 591 00:45:37,610 --> 00:45:38,590 20 days. 592 00:45:38,910 --> 00:45:39,190 20 days. 593 00:45:39,690 --> 00:45:42,090 Yeah, so remember that part of the merch? 594 00:45:42,270 --> 00:45:46,770 And Jerry had to do that. 595 00:45:47,790 --> 00:45:50,110 Do a figure and we figured it out. 596 00:45:50,230 --> 00:45:54,270 And it was within one or two days of what you've already overstepped. 597 00:45:54,410 --> 00:45:55,690 I think it was 18 days. 598 00:45:55,710 --> 00:45:59,850 Well, originally all we did was take the operating cost and go, 599 00:45:59,850 --> 00:46:04,790 So, what does it cost us per day just to keep the doors open throughout the county? 600 00:46:05,710 --> 00:46:10,030 But I'll add something to that too, and I don't want to, because we get criticized 601 00:46:10,030 --> 00:46:12,810 so often, but I want the public to know. 602 00:46:13,610 --> 00:46:23,350 Also, a lot of these counties get their funding from mineral resource money, oil, gas, mining, 603 00:46:24,430 --> 00:46:26,130 and that's up and down. 604 00:46:26,770 --> 00:46:31,610 And so they go out and bond, which you didn't do and I didn't do when we built this 605 00:46:31,610 --> 00:46:34,750 courthouse, because we lost a million dollars a year, remember? 606 00:46:36,130 --> 00:46:38,470 So you say we will never get that back. 607 00:46:39,230 --> 00:46:44,590 A lot of counties will go out like you and a county did, and they spend like drunk and 608 00:46:44,590 --> 00:46:45,170 safe person. 609 00:46:45,610 --> 00:46:50,790 They have all this debt and then all of a sudden all that money, millions of dollars goes 610 00:46:50,790 --> 00:46:51,190 away. 611 00:46:51,670 --> 00:46:52,510 Well where do they go? 612 00:46:52,510 --> 00:46:56,910 they go to the taxpayers and say we have to do that or they've got what they're doing. 613 00:46:57,670 --> 00:47:02,450 Some counties have done that. Some counties have raised up to 70 percent in one year. 614 00:47:03,370 --> 00:47:07,030 So that's my soapbox speech for today. Thank you, Camille. Do you have anything to add? 615 00:47:07,810 --> 00:47:14,490 No, just for your information. Here today, on those funds that we got well over a million 616 00:47:14,490 --> 00:47:21,510 dollars a year from those minimum spending that we're at, traded out. This year, July 3rd, 617 00:47:21,510 --> 00:47:25,010 We had received $5,699. 618 00:47:25,690 --> 00:47:27,570 That's another trigger word with me. 619 00:47:28,190 --> 00:47:30,810 That's the land exchange distribution account 620 00:47:30,810 --> 00:47:33,510 where they took 280,000 acres 621 00:47:33,510 --> 00:47:36,310 when they created this monument, Commissioner Birch. 622 00:47:36,630 --> 00:47:39,530 280,000 lucrative acres. 623 00:47:39,830 --> 00:47:42,050 I mean, the Adelix coal mine was in part of it, 624 00:47:42,090 --> 00:47:45,650 Cain County, but still, they took all of that 625 00:47:45,650 --> 00:47:47,610 and they traded it to other counties 626 00:47:47,610 --> 00:47:53,930 based on the hope that the donating counties would be compensating. We were 627 00:47:53,930 --> 00:48:00,470 compensated for five, six years, and it's all gone away. So, more world of the 628 00:48:00,470 --> 00:48:06,910 story is, don't trust the federal government, don't ever trade out land and 629 00:48:06,910 --> 00:48:12,510 get it to the federal government, including for the Indian school. Don't ever do 630 00:48:12,510 --> 00:48:16,910 that because that was exactly what was going to happen. Governor Levitt said, 631 00:48:16,910 --> 00:48:19,990 Oh, you're going to get all this money and you can't do any of it. 632 00:48:20,290 --> 00:48:23,810 Well, the truth of the matter is maybe we couldn't have done some of the mining activities 633 00:48:23,810 --> 00:48:29,410 but we could have for sure done range improvement and water development on that 280,000 acres 634 00:48:29,950 --> 00:48:33,670 helped the wildlife and the ranchers and all the way around. 635 00:48:33,910 --> 00:48:34,890 So, thank you for me. 636 00:48:35,250 --> 00:48:36,510 Anything else, Commissioner? 637 00:48:42,900 --> 00:48:44,660 We have to have... 638 00:48:44,660 --> 00:48:45,540 We've already done that. 639 00:48:45,540 --> 00:48:45,600 Yeah. 640 00:48:49,030 --> 00:48:51,130 Yeah, this is just just for years. 641 00:48:51,770 --> 00:48:54,570 I was wondering why that point is so difficult to read it. 642 00:48:54,990 --> 00:48:56,370 I'm worried about it. 643 00:49:00,060 --> 00:49:02,680 Human Services Board Appointment. 644 00:49:04,820 --> 00:49:06,980 I think that that is last to eight. 645 00:49:08,140 --> 00:49:10,160 I haven't talked to anybody yet. 646 00:49:10,620 --> 00:49:11,300 Better name? 647 00:49:14,500 --> 00:49:16,840 I see a new person in the audience. 648 00:49:17,020 --> 00:49:18,780 Maybe she wants to be able to do that. 649 00:49:19,420 --> 00:49:21,100 That'll teach you to come to meetings. 650 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:27,260 It's like going to church and you have to get up and bury your testimony when it's not testimony meeting. 651 00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:32,800 No agencies here to report imagine that. 652 00:49:35,100 --> 00:49:38,660 They don't like to come in when the buyers are aging, do they bury? 653 00:49:41,060 --> 00:49:43,840 Okay, executive session is the only thing remaining. 654 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,840 I'll entertain a motion to go into executive session regarding personnel, 655 00:49:49,580 --> 00:49:53,520 potential litigation in the executive session we're going to invite 656 00:49:53,520 --> 00:50:00,580 Commissioner-elect Birch and all of us we need the tie Ramsey with Rice Gang in 657 00:50:00,580 --> 00:50:07,840 our port.
