1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Yes.

2
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:17,085
I just found out I have the house. It's
going to take me half materials.

3
00:00:15,065 --> 00:00:17,085
[laughter]

4
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:29,800
Sorry. Anybody else being hassled?

5
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,559
We'll call the uh Houston County working
session to order.

6
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:54,079
Look like we've got
11 commissioners here.

7
00:00:51,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Got notaries. Next week we'll have a new
one. Miss an Mville, Deborah Kent, and

8
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,680
Brandy Rose.

9
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,159
Any questions on those?

10
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:17,920
Next, you got public comments. Anybody
got public comment? Anybody sign up for

11
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:22,400
public comment?
Come on up. If you signed up, we we got

12
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:28,119
uh
we'll give you three minutes

13
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:28,119
per person.

14
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:48,960
» Come on up where you can address the
commission here. Yeah.

15
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:56,159
» Good afternoon. I'm Natasha Douglas. I'm
here on behalf of Light Path Enrichment.

16
00:01:52,240 --> 00:02:00,079
Um, I wanted to say that the program
that Miss Tabitha and Light Path

17
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:08,560
Enrichment has provided for the
community is

18
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:13,360
at a point greater than anything for our
family that we've experienced on the

19
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:18,319
community level for our family. We've
been a part of her program for two years

20
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:23,599
now. This is our second year um being
part of um multiple programs that she

21
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:30,480
offers um for her enrichment and her
tutoring.

22
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:35,440
Um I want to say that um
her program is very beneficial not only

23
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:42,959
to our family but other community family
members um families because she provides

24
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:50,080
an opportunity for children to be
exposed to different individuals that

25
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:54,720
have different learning um teachings to
help them understand concepts and um

26
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:02,159
subjects that
in a traditional setting um cause them

27
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:07,680
to not be um confident or um
knowledgeable in what they're doing. And

28
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:15,360
what Miss Tabitha then path offers is
the opportunity to expose those children

29
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:20,480
and students and um families to
alternative

30
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:26,080
viewpoints on how to complete a math
problem, multiplication tables, um

31
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:32,720
learning your adjectives or adverbs or
pronouns. Um the benefit that she brings

32
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:38,799
to the community and outweighs
any financial gain. um she uh may be a

33
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:44,799
for-profit
company, but any profit that she would

34
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:49,519
acquire immediately goes back into the
program to build up the supplies and the

35
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:56,879
resources that all these children have
access to. Also with what they have

36
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:01,519
available for um the casual care
tutoring and enrichment

37
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:06,959
um a lot of the other child care
programs and um tutoring require at

38
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,239
least three days to participate in a
program or you have to meet a special

39
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,640
qualification.
This allows those families that may not

40
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,160
be able to financially have a child in
child care for three days a week the

41
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:23,120
option to have it for two for like a
parent day out to help them go

42
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:28,720
volunteer, look for jobs, complete a
job, what may have you. And the

43
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:33,280
enrichment allows other children to get
direction enrichment from other

44
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,960
individuals um to help teach them and
guide them.

45
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,199
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

46
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Give me a chair.

47
00:04:45,840 --> 00:05:00,360
» Anybody else with public comment? Uh,
you got Miss Is Miss Anna Locker here?

48
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,360
» You got three minutes. M.

49
00:05:02,613 --> 00:05:08,240
[clears throat]
>> Okay. I'm gonna talk louder.

50
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:13,280
» Give her a mic up there. Yeah, I'm just
gonna say it out loud. Uh, my family and

51
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,600
I moved to Aaron in November of last
year and our house is just right up the

52
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:24,400
hill up there. You can see it from here.
Um, Aaron has welcomed us with open arms

53
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:29,600
and we have been so grateful. Um, sorry
it's emotional. Life path has been a

54
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:34,320
huge part of that for us. um and Miss
Tabitha Bagot. They have been a huge

55
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:38,720
source of support for us and a growing
foundation for us here in Aaron. My

56
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:44,000
husband and I are both working
self-employed parents um for several

57
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:48,320
reasons like a lot of families in
Houston County. We have chosen to

58
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:54,479
homeschool our daughter. Um and it would
not be possible without Black Pass

59
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:59,360
support. Um we came from Nashville and
in years prior we had a lot of options

60
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:03,600
to choose from. um in the homeschool
support world. Um and when we reached

61
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:08,400
Aaron, we had no idea how we were going
to manage working and having both of our

62
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,919
girls at home with us. Um so we began to
pray

63
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:16,639
uh and we prayed for an option that was
going to be flexible, affordable,

64
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:21,280
available, convenient, align with our
faith, and align with our need to

65
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,680
homeschool. And Light Path was and still
is an answer to that prayer for us. uh

66
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,759
without it we would be making
significant sacrifice in terms of

67
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,199
commute affordability
uh faith in our approach to our

68
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:36,800
daughter's learning
um light path also offers us the

69
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,560
opportunity to have qualified and gifted
teachers spending time with our daughter

70
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,960
and other Houston county students as
well can benefit from this their

71
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:49,520
tutoring programs our oldest daughter is
significantly above her grade level in

72
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,319
several uh subjects and so white path
has allowed us the option of being able

73
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,880
to work with her and meet her right
where she is in her level uh and keep

74
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:02,000
our challenged and stimulated and loved
on as well and that's meant a lot to us

75
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:06,319
as parents. Uh the environment is calm,
small, and collaborative and that's just

76
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:11,120
what we needed. I represent only one
family, but I know I also rep represent

77
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:15,520
many more in this county. Um many others
in Houston County need for the same

78
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:21,280
reasons that we do. Flexibility,
affordability, availability, faith, and

79
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:27,759
a unique educational environment. So,
please consider my words as you navigate

80
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:31,000
life paths um occupancy needs.
>> Thank you,

81
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:38,319
Miss Chris.
>> Childers. Yeah, you're ahead. Um I'm

82
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:45,120
Christa Childers. I have known Miss Taco
for quite a long time. My child has

83
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:51,599
always had a little bit of a struggle
since he was itty bitty, which is how I

84
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:57,039
actually met this type of thing. Um, my
child has struggled all through school.

85
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:01,680
I have debated homeschooling relatively
long time. I work full-time. My

86
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:06,720
husband's a trucker, so me physically
doing homeschool at home was not an

87
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:13,520
option. And then one day I just happened
to see Miss Tabitha's

88
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:21,599
um post or whatever it was at the time
um about her program and I went and went

89
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:26,080
to the orientation and I can honestly
say it's been the best thing for my

90
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:34,640
child. He has caught up to where he
needs to be and should be even though he

91
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:40,719
has never really loved school, but he he
does it and he thrives and he

92
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:47,920
does everything that I need him to do.
His tala has made a world of difference

93
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:56,080
for my child, my family. Um
I mean it's affordable for us. Um,

94
00:08:52,959 --> 00:09:01,440
you know, it's I can't express enough
how much of a difference this program

95
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:08,240
has made for my kids.
Um, I guess that's it.

96
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:12,360
» Thank you.
>> I thank Mr. Rosie.

97
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,839
I have

98
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:25,680
water.
Hey, I do have a question. Uh, it's not

99
00:09:23,961 --> 00:09:30,399
[clears throat] the first time. Don't
listen to me. Nothing wrong. Why we just

100
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:36,480
getting this agenda? I'm reading this
little TCA thing.

101
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:45,040
» Sorry, you're gonna have to speak.
>> My question is why we just now get this

102
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:49,680
agenda. According to TCA 8-44-110
at least 48 hours at least 48 hours

103
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:54,399
before regular meeting a state governing
body or a local but you guys governing

104
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,399
body shall make available to the public.
Now I don't know what's the problem is

105
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:02,720
and maybe we should know but this is not
the first time we have agendas late in

106
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:06,560
the day and I get the agenda which is
great but what are these resolutions

107
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:10,320
about? Shouldn't we as taxpayers able to
look at this prior to the meeting? And

108
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:16,000
so when we come up here, we can ask
questions or give our support or not

109
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:19,360
give our support. It doesn't make sense
to me. I mean, with the new

110
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:24,240
commissioners, you can look into that. I
know you all go to CASS cost of $3 a

111
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:28,640
pop. I don't understand why it's like
this. I mean, we got money going out. A

112
00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:32,560
lot of good causes here. Some I don't
know, but I wouldn't know what to do if

113
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:37,600
I don't read the resolutions and get the
agenda over time. It's a law. That's all

114
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,360
I'm asking. Follow the law. If there's
an issue, then government officials look

115
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,640
into it. If the staff needs help, give
them a hand. They don't work for you. We

116
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:50,519
don't work for you. You work for the
people. You work for the county

117
00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:50,519
employees. Have a good meeting.

118
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:59,760
» Hi, commissioners. I set the agenda. I
passed out. So, um, we are trying to

119
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:04,240
transition into the website where we
don't have to send emails. Um, there's

120
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:08,720
been back and forth with our Outlook
being down. I think I've lost Outlook

121
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:12,640
five, six times over this fiscal year.
Um, which wipes all my contacts

122
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:17,279
completely out. I read manually into
those. Um, we've lost some staffing.

123
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:23,279
But, um, one of our goals of the mayor's
office is to get our county website uh,

124
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:28,240
utilized where I don't have to email you
all. I don't email the public. It can be

125
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:34,240
posted on there. So, um, I I would like
y'all to consider um, helping this

126
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:39,320
office try to do that in the future. So
we will have less of these issues going

127
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,320
forward.

128
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:48,279
» Any other public comment?

129
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:55,320
Next, under old business, uh

00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,920
we uh

131
00:12:02,473 --> 00:12:09,760
[clears throat] first thing I need to do
is do a roll call. Uh

» Got 12 present.
Under old business. Uh

146
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:54,160
it's uh last Friday we received a phone
call and email from ECD.

147
00:12:52,399 --> 00:13:00,160
I reached out to them about three weeks
ago asking for some more money for the

148
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:03,839
parking lot, pay for the parking lot and
asked me how much we needed and I told

149
00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:09,200
them they told us that they couldn't
give us so much. The figure we came up

150
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,480
was about 200,000.
So I told them that would be great if we

151
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:17,839
could get it. So, we got a call Friday.
They gave us 250,000.

152
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:26,320
So, we're going to get another 250 and
that should almost pay for the parking

153
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:29,360
lot, but uh that was good news to get
>> and

154
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:33,839
they're going to put the stone and the
fabric down and all that. They're

155
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:38,800
» the bad dirt out of it.
>> They've already dug the dirt out where

156
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:42,079
the wet spot was at. Uh they've got the
stone. If you look out there now, you

157
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:46,320
can see the stone and I've got the
fabric under it. They're going to pour

158
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:50,880
it Monday or Tuesday next week. They
pour about 12 15 foot section here on

159
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,959
the end. Then they're going to pour all
that next Monday or Tuesday what he told

160
00:13:53,040 --> 00:14:01,680
me today.
And they'll guarantee that to hole.

161
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:06,519
But never would have thought of a wet
spot being there, but it was pretty

162
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:06,519
soft.

163
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:17,199
But um under new business, we got the
resolution 38.

164
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,560
That's the support American Legion be
the one campaign that Mr. Bag is

165
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:26,800
involved with that.
>> Well, yes. Um

166
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:31,680
as everybody should be aware, uh
September is suicide prevention month.

167
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:38,959
And about four years ago, the American
Legion started the Be the One program,

168
00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:43,760
which initially um focused on veteran
suicide. We lose approximately 22

169
00:14:41,199 --> 00:14:50,800
veterans every day. They've since
expanded that program to cover first

170
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:58,160
responders, anybody that anybody that in
a high-risk job or or may suffer from

171
00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:02,800
suicidal thoughts. The amendment that we
are proposing is one that we have sent

172
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:08,720
out to every post in the state. Every
every county in the state has received

173
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:15,760
it. Um, and we're asking to support the
veterans the the the bean program. Um,

174
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:21,040
if you're not aware, we have a a legends
race car up in Nashville and he goes all

175
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:27,120
over. He is our uh [clears throat] Mr.
Ed Boy is our be the one ambassador for

176
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:34,880
the state. uh and he goes everywhere and
talks about suicide prevention. The

177
00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:40,399
Legion has several programs uh for
be the one is intended to be the one

178
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:45,680
they call when they're having suicidal
thoughts. So, uh, we're just asking the

179
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:50,800
county and it it doesn't cost anything
county, uh, to support that resolution

180
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:56,560
and, uh, the state already is the state
legislature has already passed it. And,

181
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:59,800
um, I believe March 1st is the one day
in Tennessee.

182
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,320
That's it. Any questions for that?

183
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:17,199
Uh next you got resolution 39
the cont contract pass student

184
00:16:14,079 --> 00:16:23,040
enrichment and learning center.
Any discussions on that?

185
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:28,800
» Um
looking at the resolution on the second

186
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:35,279
paragraph um it's
the last sentence for purpose of

187
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:42,199
providing nonprofit and public benefit.
I think that needs to be corrected

188
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:42,199
profit because they're not nonprofit.

189
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,320
» I don't know how the committee feels
about that.

190
00:16:54,959 --> 00:17:03,279
» We've actually already had a public
comment there. Ma'am, what where you

191
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:08,000
all she's asking about is a is a word a
couple of words in

192
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,880
» Yeah, I was um given the contract on
Friday and I just had a lot of

193
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:13,880
questions. Should I wait to do that next
week?

194
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:27,600
» She's got to ask her questions.
>> I'm sorry. She has I mean to to satisfy

195
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,679
her she has got to ask the questions if
she's got them.

196
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:34,080
» That a big thing.
>> But uh in my opinion

197
00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:35,919
» I agree but we we have this for a
reason.

198
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,280
» Yeah we do.
>> Um but remember that's a one way.

199
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,440
» Yeah.
>> Attorney isn't here to answer her

200
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:43,120
question.
>> That's right.

201
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:46,320
» So
>> we can't answer for attorney.

202
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:49,039
» Exactly.
>> Go ahead. Go ahead and come up here. I

203
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,120
mean,
>> come on.

204
00:17:53,600 --> 00:18:01,400
» We can't answer legal questions. I know.
>> Okay.

205
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,400
» Yes.

206
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:11,840
» So, originally when I was given my first
contract, it's very small, pretty plain

207
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:15,600
and simple and to the point. Um, I'm
still offering the exact same services

208
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,880
that I was offering when the original
contract was given to me. So, um,

209
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:25,200
there's a lot of things that's in my new
contract that is not mentioned in my

210
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,919
first contract. So, that was kind of one
of my questions is why a whole book now

211
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,520
when at first I was just given this
little thing. I'm doing all the same

212
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:37,200
things. Nothing has changed except I was
a partnership and now I am a sle

213
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:43,280
proprietorship.
Outside of that question, I do have um

214
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:47,440
first of all, as far as the location
goes, and I don't know if this really

215
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:53,200
matters, but it has it listed as 213
College Street. Upon checking with um

216
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:57,200
the tax office, and then actually
Greater Dixon Gas Authority told me when

217
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:03,559
I had the gas put in my name, it
actually should be 235 College Street

218
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,559
instead of 213.

219
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:17,440
under the um [clears throat] reversion
to monthtomonth.

220
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:23,200
I was going to see if somebody can
explain that to me better like if if you

221
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:28,160
guys agree for me to do this. Am I for
sure here for six months or

222
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:32,160
could you end it before the six months
was over? Like I don't understand that

223
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:38,840
paragraph that's on that second page.
reversion to monthtomonth.

224
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,840
I just need that explained to me.

225
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:05,200
Like the mayor said, we cannot answer
legal questions.

226
00:20:03,679 --> 00:20:10,120
» Okay. I didn't know if that was a legal
question.

227
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,120
» Okay, that's fine. Um,

228
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:27,120
it's telling me that I'm going to have
to um do quarterly reporting every three

229
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:32,159
months telling the items set forth
below. Um, but it does not give me like

230
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,559
any type of reporting deadline. It
doesn't say when this will be due.

231
00:20:34,034 --> 00:20:39,600
[laughter]
Um, so I just need to know when exactly

232
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:44,880
am I know three months, but like what
day of the month or when am I supposed

233
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:47,440
to submit those documents,
>> mayor, where our lawyer will be here?

234
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,320
Next Monday night.
>> You'll be here Monday night.

235
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,840
» Let's let's just table this to next
Monday night. We're going to waste time.

236
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,960
» We're not voting on anything tonight
anyway. We're just,

237
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:01,039
» you know, I appreciate the concern, but
I don't know. We are absolutely lost.

238
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,760
» Why don't you get Charles maybe to come
just a little bit early?

239
00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:08,400
» Have you not talked Have you not reached
out to attorney at all?

240
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:12,559
» I have. I've reached out to the attorney
multiple times. Um I asked him if I

241
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:17,280
could come to his office and have a
meeting with him. He did not see he

242
00:21:15,679 --> 00:21:21,280
didn't seem like that he wanted me to do
that. And I asked him about my contract

243
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:25,679
and he said you guys had it. So I was
given the contract Friday evening and

244
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:29,280
then yesterday was holiday. So, I've
just had over the weekend to look over

245
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,400
the contract myself. Therefore, I have
questions. But I didn't know that Mr.

246
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,600
Attorney wasn't going to be here
tonight. So, I thought is Tuesday night

247
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:38,880
not when he's going to be here? It's
going to be Monday night.

248
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:44,240
» It's next Tuesday night when I meet.
>> Okay. I'll just come back in.

249
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:49,200
» I would ask you to reach back out to him
tomorrow if you can't get in call.

250
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:52,559
» Okay. Thank you.
>> Mr. Mayor,

251
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:58,400
» I I too had some questions about the
contract. I did me sent them email to

252
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,799
Charles.
>> Yes.

253
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,320
» I have not heard back from him either.
So,

254
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,400
» okay.
>> I can mention him now or we missed let

255
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,919
Charles wait through it.
>> I think if it's a Charles question, we

256
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:16,000
need to ask Charles.
>> Yeah. One one applies kind of what is

257
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:20,000
the is the is the county remaining
responsible for maintaining the

258
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,000
building? I mean, roof leaks or
whatever.

259
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:33,280
We are okay. So, we've got we're holding
the tenant responsible for mold. Mold

260
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:38,720
generally is a moisture problem.
I I don't think it's appropriate to hold

261
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:42,640
them responsible for mold when it's more
to the county's performance on building

262
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:47,880
maintenance
accounts or absence of mold.

263
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:55,440
» Well,
okay. I'm going to throw my two cents

264
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:59,600
out. I think it's a great program,
but [clears throat] I do not believe it

265
00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:06,960
belongs in the county buildings
because the damage, etc., the potential

266
00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:13,280
lawsuits to the county against the
county if something goes wrong, it's

267
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:18,080
just too great. Understand? And so I
would suggest that, you know, if there

268
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:24,000
be some way that it could go back to a
church or a building, another building,

269
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:29,200
that's fine. And I I think that's great.
But against putting a county building,

270
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,320
all we're doing is opening the door to
for a lawsuit.

271
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:34,640
» I got a question. Did we put them in
that building, the county commission

272
00:23:33,919 --> 00:23:40,520
commission?
>> We gave them access to a temporary

273
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:40,520
basis. So this lay

274
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:47,840
» that's all I want to say.
>> Well, there's some guidelines in here

275
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:53,240
officially now that have to be adhered
to and they're not just ours. They're

276
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,240
also the state.

277
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,679
» That's what I'm saying. We all just seen
this tonight.

278
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:08,159
» What about carry general liability
policy with an umbrella for the county?

279
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:08,159
» That's right.

280
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:19,200
So, there's a termination. Uh, Lacy has
a 45day termination, right? But then you

281
00:24:16,799 --> 00:24:25,600
read the text, it says 60 days notice.
To me, that didn't make sense. I think

282
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:33,440
it should be 45 days notice. Good.
And then if you go to the

283
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:43,919
uh executive lease package summary
on back package uh item one

284
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:49,840
um seems to be in tension with the lease
terms. One it says an automatic in the

285
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:55,520
executive lease package summary. It's an
automatic month-to-month conversion. you

286
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:58,320
can reach the three lease terms. Uh they
only automatically terminates at

287
00:24:57,347 --> 00:25:01,559
[clears throat] the end of six months.
So that

288
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,000
that's not too

289
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,400
Any

290
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,440
other discussion on this?

291
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:40,880
[cough]
[clears throat]

292
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:47,520
Next, you got resolution 40 to transfer
$749 to correct payroll into election

293
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:50,520
part-time personnel election commission.
Any

294
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,440
question?

295
00:25:58,159 --> 00:26:09,400
Next, you got resolution 41 appropriate
14,000 to county buildings maintenance

296
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,400
and repair buildings.

297
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:17,360
Correct.
That's what we paid for the air. That's

298
00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:22,640
actually what we paid for the air
conditioner out of our county buildings.

299
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:26,080
And it's left us with a zero ballot in
our county building. We have to have an

300
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:30,039
emergency at the sheriff's office. We
had to put air conditioners in.

301
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:37,360
We're just asking to put the money back.
>> Replenishing that reserve.

302
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,919
» I'm sorry.
>> This is just replenishing the reserve.

303
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:45,880
» That's correct. their reserves is is
down to almost zero

304
00:26:46,159 --> 00:26:51,640
and I'm sure we'll have some more issues
with housing.

305
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,600
Uh next resolution 42
connected communities facility change

306
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,600
order number eight incorporation of
$13,936.

307
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:13,600
I think Mr. Howard re talked to the
contractor Mr. Ry about that.

308
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:20,400
They had a this was the uh amount that
taking the option we did to resolve the

309
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:25,840
soft spot in the parking area out there.
The other option was to tip deeper and

310
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:30,559
put more rock and all in. That was a
$20,000 [clears throat]

311
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:37,240
option and the contractor would
guarantee this if something falls

312
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,240
through they'll come back. So

313
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:46,960
there is a typo in the third line where
first

314
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:50,279
parking
that area

315
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:06,200
where you say it was Mr. What?
>> Uh first whereas third line check

316
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,679
if parking
be that

317
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:20,919
just whether it's in that area or
something.

318
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:30,520
Get that down right.
Any

319
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:36,240
other [clears throat] discussions on
that?

320
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:44,440
Next, you got resolution 43, approve
FY27 contract for service from the state

321
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:44,440
of Tennessee through UT extension.

322
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,320
Any questions on that?

323
00:28:53,520 --> 00:29:02,320
So Joey, this has got an effective day
of July 1st. I'm the new guy here. What

324
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:08,919
is that normal?
It's always

325
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:08,919
» Yes, it's all right.

326
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,320
» Any questions? Any other questions?

327
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:27,279
Next you got resolution 44 amend FY27
initiative school mobile model grant

328
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:30,520
budgets for both the high school and
middle school.

329
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,840
Any questions on this?

330
00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:47,279
The school superintendent is here if you
need a question. Next we got resolution

331
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:51,640
45 appropriate $78,60
for Tennessee children grant.

332
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,799
Any questions on this

333
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:03,000
question? I know this for middle school

334
00:30:04,159 --> 00:30:07,720
just for elementary

335
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:18,960
school. We apply that all these grants.
We apply for every grant we can. We're

336
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:21,960
managing probably 12 and 15 grants right
now.

337
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:33,760
And I I don't know. I know these are new
commission, but I don't know what Rachel

338
00:30:31,919 --> 00:30:39,720
puts in there, but I try to send a memo
out

339
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:39,720
of grants and stuff.

340
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,399
Good.

341
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:53,919
Any other questions on this?
Next, you got resolution 46, amend

342
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:58,120
transition school to work project budget
amendment $48,539.50.

343
00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:09,360
» Any questions on that?
>> What is that?

344
00:31:06,159 --> 00:31:17,360
» The work to school program. What is it?
gets out and

345
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:21,279
exposed and things like that. But the
reason that 48,539

346
00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:25,080
is there is we thought it was going to
be person.

347
00:31:25,679 --> 00:31:33,039
So we're moving it back into HUD. So
we're actually putting it back into our

348
00:31:31,279 --> 00:31:35,840
» Have you had this before?
>> Yes.

349
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:40,000
» And where would the kids go to
>> different businesses? They make them all

350
00:31:37,919 --> 00:31:42,720
over the place. I get field trips all
the time.

351
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:47,200
» Is it like a visit thing where they work
here after school or something or

352
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:52,559
» I think it's mostly just
>> Okay. Just expose them to industry and

353
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,559
could potentially influence their career
choice.

354
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:09,840
» Any other questions?
Next we got resolution 47 appropriate

355
00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:14,880
$90,000 for the literacy materials
implementation

356
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:18,440
support grant.
That's another school.

357
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,600
Any question on that?

358
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:34,039
Next we got resolution 48,
access for all learning network

359
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,039
appropriation of $50,000.

360
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,360
Any questions on that?

361
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:46,600
Next, we got resolution 49, TVA donation
appropriation of $1,200.

362
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,760
Any questions on that?

363
00:32:54,240 --> 00:33:02,960
Next, you got resolution 50, awarding of
the renaming competition for the armory.

364
00:33:00,159 --> 00:33:08,159
We'll be voting on that Tuesday night.
>> I have the resolution that I'm passing

365
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:14,000
on that that identifies the uh the four
that the tourism committee came up with

366
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:18,919
out of the 30
>> 38 38 days.

367
00:33:19,737 --> 00:33:21,757
[laughter]

368
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,960
We will whittle it down to one Tuesday
night.

369
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:38,159
» This is what
>> this is for the renaming of the armor.

370
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:44,399
Jimmy, uh the tourism committee met at 5
this afternoon and they it was 38

371
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:47,840
entries. They narrowed it down to four.
They're going to let the commit the

372
00:33:45,919 --> 00:33:53,720
whole commission will pick one of the
four for the new name of the National

373
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,720
Army.

374
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,000
» Hey, mayor.
>> Yes, sir.

375
00:33:55,679 --> 00:34:03,240
» I apologize, but stepping back up to 12.
Is it $1,200 for $1,250?

376
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:09,839
» Um, I'm looking at,200, but
>> 1250.

377
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:14,480
» Is it 1250?
>> 1250.

378
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:18,079
» Okay. And I got 1,200 on mine.
>> That's what I've got on the agenda. But

379
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:22,000
when you go to the resolution, it's got
>> 1250. Okay.

380
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:29,520
I need to correct that.
>> Also on the resolution for 50, there's

381
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:34,760
four instead of three names because
I had two that tied. Is that correct?

382
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,760
» That is correct.

383
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,839
» I need to know

384
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:50,440
the resolution. have a third place. Are
they splitting it? Are they

385
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,440
just the fourth not being awarded?

386
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:57,440
» That's a question.
>> That's a good question.

387
00:34:53,119 --> 00:35:04,400
» Yes, the first place was uh 250, second
was 125, third was 75, but we did have a

388
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:09,839
tie between the third and fourth place
names that were there.

389
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:14,960
» Commission choose top three.
>> You will choose the top three. Yes. And

390
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:19,400
of course it's all blind. Committee had
no idea who did what. So

391
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:29,920
» So next week will choose three.
>> Tonight you will vote for one, two,

392
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:33,520
three or four. Whatever you put them in.
That's whoever gets the most votes.

393
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:38,960
That's the one that'll be.
>> So it still just be three places.

394
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:45,920
» We're paying three places. That's what
Rachel's asking is that do we

395
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:53,599
split the third place or keep it like it
is and fourth gets done?

396
00:35:49,280 --> 00:36:00,000
» Well, that's I I think if it's a tie
in third and fourth place, they get the

397
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:03,000
same. If it's a tie
difference,

398
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:10,160
» well, actually, it wouldn't make that
much difference. you know, the full

399
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:16,280
legislative body votes on that because
there may not be a time. You may have

400
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:16,280
one, two, and three. So,

401
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,040
» I think we just

402
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:38,000
» Any other discussion on that?
you will vote one through four and we'll

403
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:44,810
tally votes up and
hopefully we won't have a tie. If we do,

404
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:44,810
we'll go through it again. [laughter]

405
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:54,560
Next, you got your reports. You got your
judicial commission report.

406
00:36:51,520 --> 00:37:00,880
Got your 911 report. You got your
library report

407
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:05,800
and your school portal report.
Judicial commission reports got a lot.

408
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,400
» Any questions on the report?

409
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:29,680
» If no question, I need a motion to
>> I got a question. Mayor, uh, what about

410
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:33,440
the truck from the contractor we talked
about a few weeks ago?

411
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,760
» Yeah. Anything coming to life? Is that
it?

412
00:37:33,839 --> 00:37:40,000
» He told me the end of September 1st,
October.

413
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:43,280
» And
I'm going to hold him to the end of

414
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:46,400
September. I will be calling him
somewhere around the 20th myself if I

415
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:51,079
hadn't heard.
>> He said the end of September 1st

416
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:51,079
October.

417
00:37:51,839 --> 00:38:02,079
and Kender Morgan on that. Kinder Morgan
came last Thursday and they brought a

418
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:08,640
check for us for $20,000 to buy the two
new scoreboards for the school.

419
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:12,400
» We thank them for that.
>> They've done pretty good to our

420
00:38:09,839 --> 00:38:17,040
community and they say they will do more
later.

421
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:22,079
» They're going to be here a while.
>> They put the line in. They will maintain

422
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:28,480
the gas line. And we still will be
collecting tax revenue.

423
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:34,480
» Yes, he's supposed to uh get me a number
on how much we'll probably get the first

424
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:37,680
year. I have not got it yet, but he did
tell me that last Thursday. He didn't

425
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:42,960
get that number for me. I hope we have
it before next Tuesday to let y'all know

426
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,920
about what we'll be expecting.
>> Will that be off the volume of gas that

427
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,760
goes through?
>> No, it's actually will be off the

428
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:56,079
depreciation of the line.
>> Okay. the gas sale will and and I I was

429
00:38:53,280 --> 00:39:02,560
thinking the gas sales but he said it's
a depreciation of the line

430
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:06,359
which evidently
that might be a little more

431
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:15,920
» but u
any if no other questions get a motion

432
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,359
to adjourn.
>> Mr. Fridge is already done. I'll second

433
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,680
it.
>> All in favor?

434
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,880
» Everybody

435
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:45,599
has everybody got their committees.
No.

436
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:45,599
» What have you
