Um, I have a limited report tonight. We are at the 48 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,600 point of engaging an engineer on the property where the um jail is to be. Uh 49 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:24,800 as soon as we get an estimate on that, we can go forward with with the engineer 50 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:29,840 working with Teima and FEMA to to begin the process of filling that property in 51 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:35,680 to prepare it for a building. Um, I'm working on u my plans and goals for for 52 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:39,919 the first 100 days that I'll be presenting to the new commission uh at 53 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,280 the their first work session in September. 54 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:49,360 I'm also working with the folks at Embbridge and the Tennessee com uh state 55 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:55,759 controller to uh expedite the process of of having that uh the Embbridge project 56 00:04:52,960 --> 00:05:00,800 uh appraised so we can uh get the property tax uh before next budget next 57 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:07,280 year. That's one of my main goals and main concerns at this point to expedite 58 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:12,080 that process. That's all I have. >> Thank you, sir. Does anybody have any 59 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,080 questions for the mayor? 60 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,919 All righty, moving on. Committee and board reports. Uh, budget and finance 61 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,720 met on the 17th. Chris, could you please speak to that for us, sir? 62 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:38,960 Yes. Uh, budget and finance met on August 17th. uh reviewed trustee 63 00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:45,919 statements and financial summaries which you know one month in wasn't wasn't a 64 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:52,320 whole lot to the financial summaries. Um uh approved or recommended for approval 65 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:58,000 four of five budget amendments. Um, one we took no action on. That was the one 66 00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:03,520 with the education funding because u the committee wanted to see about getting a 67 00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:09,280 draft policies uh put in place ahead of time before 68 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:14,240 taking any action in that regard. Um, I did send out last Monday evening the 69 00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:19,039 proposed draft policy to every commissioner by email. Uh 70 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,840 hopefully hopefully the ones who will be back had 71 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,520 time had the opportunity to to review that. I'll make that of course available 72 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:32,479 to the incoming ones once they have their emails set up as well. 73 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,120 And that was pretty much it. >> Thank you. Does anybody have any 74 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:42,240 questions for Chris? >> All righty. Codes and zoning met on uh 75 00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:49,440 the 13th. David, can you please speak to that for me, sir? 76 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:54,000 Yes. Um, we use that, uh, since a couple of our members won't be back on that 77 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:59,280 committee, use that as a summary meeting to put together all the information of 78 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,880 what we had worked on so that the next group coming in for codes and zoning 79 00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:10,880 will have at least a starting place of where we left off. Um, the temporary use 80 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:15,120 uh needs to be addressed in the zoning. We had started that process u spent 81 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:21,120 about three months on it. There's some work already done there that needs to be 82 00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:28,000 finished um for whatever that that body decides to do. Um what we did get out um 83 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:34,240 kind of our last big harrah was as promised last month, we did get the uh 84 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:40,319 addition to the PUD for the requirement of the traffic impact studies to be 85 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:46,000 added on any prop any developments 30 and over 30 units and then anything 86 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:53,280 below 30 units the discretion is given to the codes enforcement officer um 87 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:56,160 planning. I always forget what title we actually put on Rosal's office because 88 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:02,400 she holds about three or four different hats now. Um, but that's before us 89 00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:07,160 tonight for the first vote. Thank you. Does anybody have any 90 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,160 questions for David? 91 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:15,479 » Okay. Um, also on August 3rd, uh, Amber, uh, Russell, if you could speak, law 92 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,479 enforcement first responders. 93 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,199 » Sure. with the first responders. We didn't have a quorum, so it was 94 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,560 discussion only and we went over the EMS education policy and deemed that we 95 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:30,080 didn't have enough information to really do any any further action on it 96 00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:34,240 with the law enforcement. Um, one big topic was that the sheriff 97 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:38,479 never heard anything about the law enforcement committee request to move 98 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:43,760 the phone and commissary income into a dedicated fund. I know it was spoke 99 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:47,760 about before we went into um all of the hearings and then um it kind of faded 100 00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:52,640 away so I didn't know if we needed to bring it up again or if there had been a 101 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:56,560 decision that I wasn't aware of. They are now soliciting bids to replace 102 00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:01,360 the roof on the jail. They've got one bid so far. They're receiving two more 103 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:05,680 bids. Um the roof was patched 15 to 20 years ago and it's needing fixed up now. 104 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:10,399 It will require a budget amendment when bids come in. Um the recent rains have 105 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,800 caused leaking into the cells and the generator at the jail has not been 106 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,080 replaced. Cumins out of Nashville has not come out to wire and install new one 107 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:23,200 despite multiple requests from the sheriff. And that's all I have. 108 00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:26,600 » Thank you. Does anybody have any questions for Amber? 109 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:35,120 » Is there any other reports this evening? All righty. Moving on to active 110 00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:39,440 business. Uh at this point we have this for this month. We don't have any no 111 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:42,839 resolutions, no appointments. So, we'll move on to ordinances. 112 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:48,720 So, public hearing. I open the floor for the following two ordinances. Is there 113 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:53,839 anyone here wishing to speak on either of the two ordinances that we're getting 114 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:57,200 ready to discuss? Uh, yes, sir. Okay. So, it's going to be ordinance 115 00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:03,839 351202613, which is the reasonzoning TR-2 to TR-Pud 116 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:08,200 Sulfur College. And uh uh would you like to come up and speak on that at this 117 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,200 time, sir? 118 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:23,760 Hello everyone. I'm Steven Lancaster, the uh design engineer for this one. And 119 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:28,560 uh like he said, this is um the second reading with this one. 120 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:33,360 Uh so I guess let's just start off with this. the traffic impact study contracts 121 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,680 have been signed. Uh that's kind of the thing that we've talked about that's 122 00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:40,880 needing been discussed. Um but I guess that's the only new information that I 123 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:45,519 can bring to you that the traffic impact study is as soon as he can get to it, 124 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:49,839 it's uh officially signed and in contractual agreement. So if you'all 125 00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:53,200 have any questions with this or that y'all kind of come up with, feel free to 126 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,640 ask them and I can go over them with you. 127 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:03,279 » Thank you. Does anybody have any questions for him? 128 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:08,920 Okay, thank you sir. Uh Rosie, did you have anything on this? 129 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,920 Okay, thank you. 130 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:18,240 Then next is ordinance 351 202613. Sorry. 131 00:11:16,079 --> 00:11:22,320 Yes, sir. David, >> I do have a question for Rosalie just 132 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,920 for clarification purposes. >> Sure. Rosie, if you could step up, 133 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,920 please. 134 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:37,200 If this were to to advance on back to planning for the final approval, would 135 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:40,320 that be held until uh planning has the information on the traffic study or 136 00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:43,320 would that be on the next month's meeting? 137 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:51,680 » So, the final uh master plan that they would have to bring back would have to 138 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:56,720 have everything in fact um even all the engineered drawings for 139 00:11:54,240 --> 00:12:01,200 all of that. So the impact study would have to be completed before they could 140 00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:04,200 ever bring back the final plan to planning. 141 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:15,200 » David, >> I just wanted everyone to hear that. Um, 142 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,760 but that does will have to have all the components in place before it goes to 143 00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:24,959 and approved by planning or not approved by planning on its last reading. So, 144 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:28,480 whatever this body does, there is still one more check on that traffic 145 00:12:26,959 --> 00:12:32,320 situation. And for the new commissioners who are 146 00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:36,399 sitting in the audience, this is going to be something that they're going to 147 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:40,079 need to to know about and to learn um as far as the PUDS and how that all 148 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:47,600 functions being different than a traditional resoning. 149 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:52,959 » Right. And if I may, Mr. chair. So the time limit on submitting and bringing 150 00:12:49,839 --> 00:13:00,600 back the final master plan is one year. After that then it resets. 151 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,600 » Thank you for clarifying guys. 152 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:06,160 So at this time I'll take a motion to close the public hearing uh the first 153 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:12,560 hearing on this one. Got a motion from Chris and second from Amber. 154 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:15,519 All in favor? Any opposed? Thank you. That carries. 155 00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:21,440 All right. Next, we're going to move on to ordinance 351202613, 156 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:26,959 which is the reasonzoning of TR2 uh to TR PUD uh which is the Sulfur 157 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:29,959 College and I believe that's the uh annexation. 158 00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:33,320 That's what 159 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,639 » both of those 160 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,839 right. >> Yes. 161 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:55,279 So, it's the we're moving on the second, >> correct? 162 00:13:53,839 --> 00:13:59,560 I had to get my notes straight, guys. Sorry. Um, 163 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:09,360 we are going to move at this point, we're going to move to the second uh the 164 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:14,560 second reading on this. Yes, Chris.

Um, the way the property is 196 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:26,400 set up, uh, it's actually a less dense proposal than the previous that was on 197 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:31,280 this property when it was reszoned back several years ago. So, it being less 198 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:35,520 dense but still developed, planning thought it was a good place for it and 199 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:42,120 that it fit well. >> So, it came favorable.

Does anybody have any 267 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:52,679 questions for Brandon regarding the email you got from the DA? Yes, Beverly. 268 00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:52,679 » Yeah. 269 00:25:52,720 --> 00:26:03,120 resolution or I mean I'm just kind of confused with what we need to do moving 270 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:06,120 forward. Not moving backward, moving forward. 271 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,200 I'm sorry 272 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:19,520 in order to implement it. We don't have any authority. 273 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:23,200 » So just something that we necessarily need to 274 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:27,360 work on. >> It's whatever the will of the commission 275 00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:33,440 is. They want to prevent that with a any type of similar hatch act violations. 276 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,559 They can do that for the next uh election. So it's just whatever this 277 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:40,400 body wants to do. >> I would like I mean I know this is the 278 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:47,360 out moving out and moving in. So, I would 279 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:53,679 like for us as a new body with the new commissioners to evaluate the situation 280 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:56,679 and look at what we want to do moving forward. 281 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:04,400 » Thank you. Does anybody else have any questions regarding 282 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:08,960 » Chris? Not a question. Just want to say I agree 283 00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:12,720 100% with Miss with Commissioner Atwood. This is something that the new new 284 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:20,760 commission should take up and probably as as as soon as we can. 285 00:27:16,799 --> 00:27:20,760 » Thank you. Anybody else? 286 00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:29,159 » Okay. Is there any other business that's uh 287 00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:29,159 coming forward tonight? Yes, David. 288 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:37,360 » Yes. At last month's meeting, it was asked u by several members to have Mr. 289 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:42,480 Scrugs from the highway department come before this body at this meeting and 290 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,520 address some of the issues. Um I didn't see a special spot on the agenda for 291 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:52,080 that. I thought maybe it would fall under under business. Um 292 00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:57,120 I do not see him here tonight. Um he was asked u I have done a little digging 293 00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:01,600 myself to find out some of the issues there. Um, one complaint that we were 294 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:07,039 told why he couldn't do the walking track was because he couldn't pave over 295 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:12,640 gravel. He was a his machine was a repaver. Well, Griffin Hollow Road was a 296 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:17,760 gravel road that the county paved. So, I I'd like to understand a little better 297 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:22,720 of the difference there between a gravel road that he paved and a walking track. 298 00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:27,520 also was told that he couldn't go 10 foot wide, which I happen to know now 299 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:32,960 that the machine they have will actually with the arms folded out will do 13 foot 300 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:38,559 wide. So, there seems to be some gross misinformation from his department and I 301 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:43,120 was hoping to get some answers tonight. Uh, I did notice that after last month's 302 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:48,399 meeting, all of a sudden construction on the widening of Thompson Lane that was 303 00:28:46,159 --> 00:28:52,480 been put off for the last two almost three years now started and the 304 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:56,880 equipment to cut those big trees was automatically appeared and those trees 305 00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:01,039 are now been cut down and they are moving forward on that project. I find 306 00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:04,880 that very interesting that it took that long and something being said at this 307 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,880 committee to finally get him to do his job. 308 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,840 Thank you, >> Mr. Chairman. 309 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,960 » Yes, ma'am. >> If I might address that, Mr. Scrugs 310 00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:21,120 called me this afternoon and and wanted me to offer his apologies to the court 311 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:26,720 because he had an engagement in Nashville tonight that he had to go to. 312 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:33,360 He did explain that that because in in having conversations with with Mr. CI 313 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:38,399 who had offered to do the milling and I don't fully understand milling but if if 314 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:46,320 that were the case then he was certainly willing to to try in his words the to do 315 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:50,559 the 10 foot foot. So he's he is um uh cooperating with us to to try to get 316 00:29:48,399 --> 00:29:56,720 that done but I think this is an issue now that should go to parks and wreck 317 00:29:52,399 --> 00:30:02,720 for them to decide how to go forward. >> Thank you very much. Yes, David. 318 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:08,640 » I still think it's an absolute shame that an elected official meant who is 319 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:12,880 elected to run the road department of Trrowdale County 320 00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:17,200 seems to be in a position where he's going back and forth and oh, he can do 321 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:21,440 it. Oh, he can't do it. While the county is looking at spending twice, almost 322 00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:26,320 three times as much to have a private entity come in and do the same project. 323 00:30:23,919 --> 00:30:31,520 In a time where we're looking at having to raise property taxes, we already have 324 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:35,520 a wheel tax up for referendum. It would, you would think it would 325 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:40,399 behoove an elected official to try to save the county as much money as he can 326 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:45,440 by doing a good job at a lower price than a private organization. It just 327 00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:48,880 seems like it's more of an aggravation dealing with our own county department 328 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:52,880 than having to deal with a private organization. 329 00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:57,039 And I would encourage this committee, this 330 00:30:54,399 --> 00:31:01,919 commission going forward with the new commissioners that you hold these 331 00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:07,520 elected officials responsible beyond just the mayor as they were done 332 00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:11,360 in this last election round. He is an elected official. He does have a 333 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:16,000 responsibility to the taxpayers of Trrowdale County for the job that he 334 00:31:13,679 --> 00:31:22,279 does or doesn't do and he should be held accountable for it. 335 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,279 » Thank you, sir. Chris, 336 00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:29,039 » to speak to the point of of having it go back to parks and rec. I believe this 337 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:35,120 this commission voted last month to go ahead and proceed with with the with the 338 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:41,279 bid in hand. So, don't know that we really need to go back to to the 339 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:47,200 committee, but um with regard to um like I said, Mr. Shrugs was asked to be here 340 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:50,799 and and was not uh should something like this come up again. I guess I'll ask 341 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:58,480 question Mr. Baylor. Do we have the ability to compel 342 00:31:54,559 --> 00:32:01,840 we we've addressed this issue before. You can 343 00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:08,159 sain of them, but they don't have to honor it. 344 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:13,360 And from everything research I've seen, there's no penalty for 345 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:18,480 defying that. I believe there's an attorney general's opinion on it. Now, 346 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,159 um I mean, this body can do what they want to do in the way of censure or 347 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,480 something of that nature, but he's elected official. 348 00:32:26,399 --> 00:32:32,840 Thank you. Anybody else? 349 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:41,279 Yeah. Um, Beverly, please. >> So, 350 00:32:38,159 --> 00:32:48,640 I have a question and I guess it's the big elephant on the back. I don't know, 351 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:51,640 but they're saying that will taxes go to referendum. 352 00:32:54,080 --> 00:33:04,000 Is that a yes or a no? Or is it still in our hands? or is 353 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:07,640 this up for a vote? 354 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:19,799 Um, Mr. Paxton, understood. Mr. Paxton, would you please come and address that 355 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,799 if you would, sir? 356 00:33:22,159 --> 00:33:28,159 » And thank you. >> Sure. 357 00:33:25,919 --> 00:33:33,200 » All right. So, the referendum is a yes or no on the wheel tax. That's what they 358 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:39,679 they're they're opposing the wheel tax. So, that's what it will be. I have 359 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:43,120 almost finished checking signatures and it looks like they're going to have 360 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:48,080 enough. So, I would expect it to be on the November ballot. 361 00:33:45,679 --> 00:33:53,200 And then once once I have enough signatures, I'll work with the state and 362 00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:58,480 we'll come up with exactly how it will be on the ballot. and then I will give 363 00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:02,240 that to the commission so you can see see what it's going to say. 364 00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:08,919 » Thank you very much for your clarification, sir. 365 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,919 Any other business? 366 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:18,760 » Uh public comment. Um Melissa, you've signed in to speak, 367 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,760 please. 368 00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:30,599 » Good afternoon. My name is Melissa Shala from district 2 369 00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:30,599 and 370 00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:40,320 I live less than a mile from Core Civic from the prison. 371 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:46,000 I would like to know how the negotiations 372 00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:53,960 with course civic are going and have they taken any of the recommendations 373 00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:53,960 from the pres prison advisory committee 374 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:08,160 commissioners. I'll address that uh response to you. the current condition 375 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:14,800 of our negotiations with core civot. We have engaged a firm Lewis Thompson 376 00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:21,520 uh Mr. Tom Russell who has assisted us before and other lawsuits. They are 377 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:26,960 working on the contract proposals that we will be presenting to Core Civic. 378 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:30,880 I believe last week uh they made some requests for some other information and 379 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:36,320 we've been providing them certain information that they need with regard 380 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:42,800 to our ongoing discussions with the Department of Corrections in response to 381 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:47,599 a correspondence that I mailed to Commissioner Strada. I believe it was in 382 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:56,560 June. Uh, Miss Elizabeth Foy with her chief of 383 00:35:50,400 --> 00:36:02,079 staff of the the comm of of the TDOC has reached back out to me to try to 384 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:07,520 schedule a meeting in order to discuss the ongoing environment and other issues 385 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:14,079 that we've raised. So, we those meetings are not set yet. Uh obviously it's at 386 00:36:11,359 --> 00:36:19,359 the end of the fiscal year for a lot of us that there'll be more opportunities 387 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:24,079 for us to have those ongoing discussions. This is not something 388 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:27,040 that's going to happen overnight. It's not going to be something that's 389 00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:32,000 quick. I'm sure there's going to be um more 390 00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:36,400 dialogue than probably what we'll wish we would had, but 391 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:41,599 nonetheless, it'll it'll at least continue on, I would imagine, up to the 392 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:49,839 point to where we're bringing ourselves before the state of Tennessee next year 393 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:55,520 or the next fiscal year. So, uh again, core civic didn't happen overnight. Uh 394 00:36:52,880 --> 00:37:00,480 it's not going to be resolved overnight. These issues with TDOC 395 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:06,400 uh have been ongoing. Right now, there's a shortage 396 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:12,480 with prisons in the state of Tennessee and uh it's a it's a 397 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:15,480 statewide problem, not just Tra County problem. 398 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:23,680 » Thank you, counselor. Does anybody have any questions? David. 399 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:27,280 » Mr. Was the sheriff ever able to provide you any numbers of expense of core civic 400 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,359 on >> all departments in Hartzel Trouser 401 00:37:29,359 --> 00:37:34,720 County have been very cooperative with what we've asked them to do and they 402 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:39,400 provided the information we needed in order to assist in these negotiations. 403 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:49,040 » Anybody else have any questions? Melissa, 404 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:57,440 » my second question is I was informed by my um commissioner, Mr. Burton, that the 405 00:37:54,400 --> 00:38:03,280 TDOC contract can be provided to the public, but they were not able to upload 406 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:08,960 it to our website. So, but that if anybody from the public 407 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:16,160 wanted to see the TDOC contract that they can request it from from the city 408 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:21,920 and they will be given a copy of it. But my question is would this notice if 409 00:38:19,359 --> 00:38:26,800 somebody doesn't listen to this meeting today would that notice be posted on the 410 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:33,079 website that they can come and get the TDOC 411 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,079 contract if they wish? 412 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:43,119 counselor. >> As far as I'm concerned, it's a public 413 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:49,400 record and anybody that makes a public records request should be able to 414 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,400 acquire a copy of it. 415 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:56,640 » Okay. I just wanted to make sure that everybody knows that that's public 416 00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:04,079 record and they can look at it. My third point here is that I sent an email to 417 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:11,760 you to you all on July 26 and it has almost been a month and only 418 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:15,440 Mr. Gregory replied to me in regards to it 419 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:22,079 but nobody has answered any of the questions that I had there. 420 00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:30,160 So my question today is would I get will I get my any answers via email phone? 421 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:35,640 I'm coming here in person to try to get some answers because I just hear 422 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,640 silence. 423 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:48,880 um >> answers 424 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:54,400 once we oursself have those and due to the circumstance that we are still in 425 00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:58,320 negotiation and we ourself do not know the physical answers to give you the 426 00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:07,200 proper documentation. We cannot verbally or email or any of 427 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:12,160 that sort give you the answers that I feel that you are wanting or needing if 428 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:17,680 that makes sense. >> Yes, it does make sense. And I do I do 429 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:24,000 » just because we are in the process of negotiations and when you are dealing 430 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:28,400 with and I'm speaking this from being on the inside 431 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:35,200 um not just from county government but from the prison side I will put that out 432 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:41,760 there that it is a procedure and there's a lot of 433 00:40:39,359 --> 00:40:48,240 documentation and a lot of back and forth that has to go through before it 434 00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:56,240 can be set in stone. So, I don't feel that even me as a commissioner myself, I 435 00:40:52,320 --> 00:41:00,640 got your email and yes, I will be 100% honest that I didn't reply to you 436 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:04,640 because I don't have the answers that I feel that you need at the at this given 437 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:09,599 moment. So, once I get those, I don't mind 438 00:41:07,599 --> 00:41:14,480 sharing those with you. >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you for that. Um, 439 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:19,520 but there were some questions that were not 440 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:26,560 that were related to the TDOC contract which you guys already gave thumbs up. 441 00:41:22,319 --> 00:41:31,680 So those I mean that's a done deal. So those questions could have been answered 442 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:38,079 because that's in the past. You guys signed the contract with TDLC. So those 443 00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:45,920 questions are not pending. That is so that's why I'm here again and again 444 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:50,960 understand and from the TDOC contract the TDOC contract and I know a lot of 445 00:41:48,240 --> 00:42:00,000 people don't want to hear this but the TDOC contract is set forth pretty much 446 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:06,880 I don't mean to say it's a cookie cutter but it is somewhat a cookie cutter and 447 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:12,800 it is set the same way with a lot of counties, 448 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:18,319 not just Trdale, other counties across the state. 449 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:25,119 So, your more negotiations are going to be with horse civic, 450 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:30,800 quote, not with TDOC. And I know it's it's hard for a lot of 451 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:34,720 people to understand this, but 452 00:42:32,319 --> 00:42:39,520 I can speak this from being on the inside and maybe I am overstepping my 453 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:44,079 terms as a commissioner, but I'm just going to be flatout honest with you 454 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:50,560 because I've worked for Core Civic. I've worked within TDOC. So I know 455 00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:56,960 being a quality assurance manager and knowing the policies and the procedures 456 00:42:52,480 --> 00:43:04,000 of how things have to be worked, you have more leeway and more negotiation 457 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:07,480 with core civic than you do with the state of Tennessee. 458 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:15,760 I understand and my questions and and my questions on that email were not you 459 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:22,160 know to try to negotiate with TDOC that was not able to be done that wasn't done 460 00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:27,760 so my questions were in regards to that meeting that happened with when you guys 461 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:32,319 approved TDOC you guys said said that it was the law that we needed to sign that 462 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:38,640 contract so my questions were not really oh let's go back to TDOC my questions 463 00:43:35,359 --> 00:43:46,079 were questions of what happened, how you guys decided on that and what law is it 464 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:51,440 that made you uh sign that there was my questions are there. I just would like 465 00:43:48,319 --> 00:43:58,040 to get some answers and um so hopefully I hear from you guys. Uh 466 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:08,880 » uh just to uh to speak to a couple of the qu of the 467 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:13,119 questions in in your email. >> First one, you know, the the county 468 00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:17,599 attorney is doing our negotiating and of course you mentioned that we had had 469 00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:22,319 engaged another firm as well. So that that that answers that question. Uh you 470 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:28,720 know what what authorities are we given? Now this is a legal contract. our legal 471 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:32,480 person is is handling those. You know, it's it's a legal contract what we're 472 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:36,960 negotiating. So, obviously, our attorney is going to be, you know, we've given 473 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:42,240 him the authority to to to 474 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:46,000 negotiate on our behalf in that regard. Um, I said we haven't seen a core civic 475 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:51,040 agreement, so we can't really speak to any anything that may or may not be in 476 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:55,599 that one. Um, I think the next last question, what written commitments? Um, 477 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,880 nothing's been provided to the county commissioners. Now, at least I have not 478 00:44:57,119 --> 00:45:02,240 seen anything u whether the county attorney or mayor have received 479 00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:05,920 anything. I I can't speak to that. You'd have to ask them. But those are the 480 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:11,200 answer pretty much the answers as we have right now. 481 00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:17,760 » Let me reiterate my what I said earlier. We have employed retained a firm to 482 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:22,560 assist in these contractual negotiations with Core Civic. 483 00:45:20,079 --> 00:45:27,920 We're not waiting on Core Civic to offer us something. We're moving forward with 484 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:33,920 them. Okay. On behalf of Hartsville Trousster County to alleviate, as I 485 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:40,480 think Miss Atwood said, some of the cookie cutter provisions of the core 486 00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:45,599 civic contract. But also on top of that, I want to say again, we are still 487 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:50,319 talking with TDOC. uh we're working on relationships with 488 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:59,880 them in order to alleviate some of the problems that we had June 2025. 489 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,880 » Thank you. Thank you, Melissa. 490 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,440 Anybody else public comment? 491 00:46:06,079 --> 00:46:11,440 Okay.
