250ear flag from the bars bar
[6:09] association.
>> Thank you. Yes. Um, so my name is Ashley
[6:14] Emick. I am the president of the Humble
County Bar Association and I'm here
[6:19] today on behalf of the Iowa Bar
Association and they are presenting um
[6:25] to each of the 99 counties um a
commemorative 250th anniversary flag
[6:31] along with the certificate to the board
of supervisors. Um, and what this says
[6:36] simply is that as the United States
prepares to commemorate its 250th
[6:41] anniversary in 2026, the Iowa State Bar
Association and the Iowa State Bar
[6:45] Association Foundation proudly recognize
the endur enduring role of lawyers in
[6:50] shaping, preserving, and defending our
constitutional democracy. From the
[6:54] earliest days of our nation, um, they
have played a central role in the
[6:57] creation of the Constitution and Bill of
Rights. Many of the framers including
[7:00] James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and
John Adams were trained and committed to
[7:04] the principles of due process, liberty,
and separation of powers. Their insight
[7:09] established a system of government
grounded not in the authority of the
[7:13] monarch, but in the enduring strength of
the law. They continue to safeguard
[7:17] these founding ideals and courthouse
houses across Iowa and throughout the
[7:21] nation. We work to uphold the
constitutional rights, pursue justice,
[7:25] and ensure that the laws of free society
are applied fairly and faithfully.
[7:29] Service helps strengthen public trust in
our legal system, and affirms that the
[7:33] Constitution belongs to all people. In
recognition of this anniversary, the
[7:37] Iowa State Bar Association and the
foundation are honored to present the
[7:40] commemorative 250th anniversary flag to
the courouses of each of Iowa's 99
[7:46] counties. Displayed alongside this
message, the flag stands as a symbol of
[7:50] our shared history and an enduring
reminder of the constitutional
[7:53] principles that unite and sustain our
nation.
[7:57] Thank you for allowing me to come and
present this to you. It is my pleasure.
[8:02] » Oh, we appreciate you coming and doing
it.
[8:04] » Yes. Thank you.
>> Thank you very much.
[8:06] » Thank you. Thank you very much for your
service.
[8:09] » It will be up on Thursday when the high
school kids come up and help put our
[8:13] flags up for with the Veterans Day. our

>> Okay.
[8:31] » All right.
We have the Veterans Associ

Welcome.
[8:41] » Thank you. We had five applications for
the position of veterans affairs
[8:46] director and it was not an easy process.
Um we did have a little bit of
[8:52] conversation about who we were going to
choose but we chose Julie Klener uh who
[8:58] we feel is very well qualified for the
position and we would like your approval
[9:02] for the uh pay and for the position we
are offering her.
[9:10] Okay. Um, I'll make a motion to hire
Julie Kler, veterans fair director, $25
[9:16] an hour for 25 hours a week.
>> I'll second.
[9:20] » All right, we have a motion
[clears throat] and a second and a frog
[9:23] in my throat here that um we make this
higher. Um, any more discussion?
[9:33] All in favor?
>> I oppose. Same sign. Motion carries.
[9:40] Hey, may I ask permission to paint my
>> May you ask permission color
[9:47] » army green?
>> Mr. Gray something so they don't feel
[9:52] like they're going into the this desert.
>> I don't see a problem with it.
[9:56] » Okay. I have the paint. I have
everything I need. Just want to go.
[10:02] » Well,
>> let them know it's a whole new
[10:05] » Absolutely.
>> Okay.
[10:08] You want to give any background? I some
of your
[10:12] » you were telling us easy earlier that
you might drop some of the names because
[10:17] people are listening to give away some
of your relation in town so that they
[10:22] all know
>> I know Jold. The first thing they say
[10:25] are you Jold sister?
>> Okay sister
[10:29] spent 13 years active duty air force.
Loved it. Got out of them because I had
[10:34] twins. I didn't want to wait. something.
>> Well, welcome.
[10:38] » Thank you.
>> Yes, we welcome you.
[10:40] » I like it very much. I wish that it
would your temperature would even out,
[10:44] but
>> it does.
[10:46] » But February evens out
>> then. Then you long for days like this
[10:52] when it's 40 below. But
>> it's here two weeks and so all four
[10:56] seasons.
>> It is a It kind of bites you someplace.
[11:03] But we do appreciate you coming and
helping us out.
[11:08] » I do my best.
>> All right. Thank you again.
[11:11] » Thank you.
>> I have a doctor's appointment I have to
[11:13] get to.
>> All right.
[11:14] » She has work to do.
>> Well, thank you.
[11:22] [clears throat]
>> All right.
[11:25] Looks like Todd.
>> Okay. Um, I think you're all aware it's
[11:30] been a little bit of a bump bumpy ride
with the seasonal part-time so far. So,
[11:35] uh, I would like to bring Ray Matson on
board. Um, Ray worked for Qua for 24
[11:43] years.
I recently he retired, was on the fire
[11:48] department for a long time. And I guess
in talking to the guys that were on with
[11:52] him, uh, they said if they had five Ray
Madsons, they wouldn't need anybody
[11:56] else. So if he comes highly recommended
>> would really like to bring him on board.
[12:08] » Well,
[12:11] » looking for a motion.
>> I make a motion to go ahead Ray Manson
[12:15] for part-time seasonal position with
2150 an hour.
[12:19] » Second it.
>> We have a motion and a second for the
[12:22] hire of Ray Madson.
Any other discussion?
[12:26] All in favor? I
>> oppose. Same sign.
[12:36] » Then we have a
[12:40] a addition on to the
agenda this morning
[12:46] resolution,
[clears throat] excuse me,
[12:50] for the trail. So, I guess I'm trying to
get caught up here. Um, this resolution
[12:58] [clears throat] will take the place of
the other resolution that we had
[13:02] » for the trail.
>> Can we explain that? So, everyone else
[13:07] is on the
>> lean into this, but I'm going to rely on
[13:12] Janet and Trish to kind of coach me
through it if that's okay with both of
[13:17] you. before we had it set up where you
were going to get 50% of the camping
[13:23] funds from [clears throat] the
>> for the next three.
[13:28] » Um, in talking to Janet and Trish,
uh, there was some
[13:35] she had to jump through some extra
paperwork with that type of arrangement
[13:39] that both of them were a little leerary
of, which understandable. Um, I talked
[13:45] to them last week and Trish Trish
suggested
[13:50] maybe kind of pivoting to more of a
letting us keep a 100% of the camping
[13:58] revenue
in lie of the interdep departmental
[14:03] transfer.
It's still kind of departmental, but
[14:09] this way it's
>> kind of I guess I still call it a loan,
[14:12] but it's
>> it's still a transfer within funds is
[14:16] what it is.
>> It just simplifies it from one location
[14:21] primarily
then it was like two. It was still, it
[14:25] still affects the general basic fund
because the camp fees and rentals were
[14:33] going into general basic before.
But this way it
[14:39] it's a it simplifies it for my side and
for the banking side for Janna. And then
[14:45] the funds will go into the land
acquisition
[14:50] fund where you can retain that money and
you don't lose it yearly.
[14:57] And currently there's a $31,000
balance in land acquisition. Rep's
[15:03] 20,000
I think it was. So then that gives you
[15:08] access to about 200,000 for the
easements and acquiring them for the
[15:16] trail. And I know we talked um
you'd be looking at a similar three-year
[15:24] thing, but it would be kind of a I'd
come and report to you annually,
[15:29] let you know what the money had been
used for, let you know where we're
[15:32] sitting financially,
see if our budget's okay to continue to
[15:37] do it so that you're you're not sticking
your neck out three years. You could
[15:42] look at it every year instead. So,
there's a little more flexibility, maybe
[15:46] a little more accountability.
Um,
[15:50] » and seems
>> I guess I did change that. I'm sorry.
[15:54] » Okay, I misspoke. Never mind.
>> Okay.
[15:58] » Um, [clears throat] I have it for 150 up
to 150,000 and then it goes back
[16:05] [clears throat] to the general and then
the board can decide how to allocate.
[16:09] That way they have
there's a clear path through resolutions
[16:14] on how it's done.
>> I'm just
[16:18] trying to cover all bases.
>> So where I'm assuming then the hard pack
[16:25] money will
>> that'll go into his land acquisition
[16:29] » goes into the land acquisition fund as
well.
[16:32] » Talk to them and they're willing to cut
a check after they have a meeting on the
[16:36] 7th. I have roughly 20 grand that grow
into it. At this point proceeds from
[16:45] their ride going forward will go towards
that project. So their goal is to
[16:51] eventually contribute 40,000 to the
project total.
[16:57] And that way I think that this way
clarifies it a little better hopefully
[17:04] and everything has
um
[17:10] » written
track
[17:14] it
>> just a little better than it was before.
[17:17] » Yeah. So we can give you guys miss
receipts to show yes
[17:20] » the money coming in as most the claims
going out. So we will keep a file on
[17:25] that so you guys know exactly what
everything's being spent for and what's
[17:28] coming in as donations and grants and
all that.
[17:32] » It's a better structure for an audit to
be performed without correct.
[17:37] » Yeah. And then you guys can always
revisit it.
[17:41] » So my only question is is when we're
enacting a new resolution, do we resend
[17:48] the old resolution?
>> I would. Or does this one just supersede
[17:53] it and we just go with this one? I'm
asking. I don't know.
[17:56] » I don't either.
>> Correct. When I need all days, John
[17:59] doesn't come. [clears throat]
[18:05] » That's when they start.
>> Every year you guys pass these
[18:09] » resolutions for me to be able to
construction. You never
[18:14] » can Can you guys hear me?
>> There you Oh, okay. Hi there.
[18:21] You [clears throat] know, I I don't know
for sure,
[18:24] Mike, how that works. If it's if the new
one supersedes the old one or if you
[18:29] have to resend the old resolution, I
really don't know.
[18:33] » Well, I don't think we'd be out of line
to just say if we had the number
[18:39] » this this resolution is replacing the
>> Yeah.
[18:43] » current one
>> any previous ones.
[18:47] Can we can we in in the process of this
say this supersedes in in the the
[18:52] comments so it's recorded this
resolution will supersede the previous
[18:55] resolutions and and uh we'll abide by
this one from this day forward. Would
[19:00] that something like that work or hunt
the other one down and and resend?
[19:05] » I I do believe it would work, Mike.
>> Okay,
[19:08] » perfect.
>> I'll second Mike's motion. [laughter]
[19:13] There we are.
>> I wanted to remember.
[19:18] » We have a motion and a second
>> to uh what is the number? I didn't hear
[19:24] the
>> 2026-29.
[19:27] So 29 uh 2026-09
and it will supersede the first
[19:35] resolution for the trails in the 50% and
that argument that we had for quite some
[19:45] time but any other discussion
all in favor.
[19:53] All right, we have Bob.
>> Hi,
[19:56] » Mike.
>> Hi,
[19:57] » uh, Dennis.
>> Hi.
[19:59] » And I think that's Rick on the phone.
>> Yeah. Hi.
[20:03] » And Bruce's eye as well. All eyes.
So,
[20:10] we're good, Todd.
>> Yes.
[20:12] » All right.
>> And as this moves along, if you have
[20:15] questions, don't hesitate to reach out
to me.
[20:17] » Well, I'm guessing that probably won't
have a issue with that.
[20:22] Okay.
>> I mean, there
[20:25] » Corey Benz did some workout on DB62
cross the bike trail by gym days.
[20:31] » By gym days. Yes. I just drove it
[20:35] last week. I don't remember what day.
And there's a where he he crossed it.
[20:40] It's It's kind of rough right there. I'm
just giving you a
[20:44] gonna get a load of rock over there.
Perfect.
[20:47] » Today or tomorrow. It's on the list.
Yes. I know that two last week and I
[20:51] thought boy we got smooth. So yes, thank
you though.
[20:56] » All right. Anything else?
[21:08] » Keep an eye on those two new hires. Just
[21:13] » Yeah.
>> Well, if Ray does what he does in his
[21:16] yard, it'll scare most people on him.
But in the parks because the guy never
[21:20] slows down.
>> No, I don't.
[21:24] » In the fall, he's like the chasing guy.
I think he's three houses down getting
[21:28] leaves. But
>> I play softball, but I
[21:33] » All right, man.
>> You're up.
[21:40] » Rick, we got a I didn't know if you were
on.
[21:43] » Yeah, I am. 250 year flag from the bar
association that we can hang out in the
[21:49] when kids put the flags up on Thursday.
>> Oh, really?
[21:53] » Yeah, it's pretty neat.
>> Oh, cool.
[21:58] » Morning. Morning.
>> Oh, jeez.
[22:00] » Oh, garage door opener.
>> It goes to the
[22:04] » get you into the get the pickup for the
parade. So,
[22:07] » Oh, cool. We'll get it
>> washed and
[22:10] » Oh, you're detailed up.
>> I'll be in my I'll be in my pickup.
[22:14] Okay. Well, I'll drive it. I don't I'll
get it.
[22:17] [clears throat]
>> Just so you all know we're trying to No,
[22:20] we're trying to figure out all of the
>> It'll be It'll be the new one.
[22:24] » It'll be the
>> We're gray one down here at the
[22:29] elevator.
>> You're thinking
[22:31] that way. They don't have to be down.
[22:36] No parking.
>> We'll get to that hopefully.
[22:41] » Okay.
>> Yeah. So, we'll get that washed and
[22:44] washed and detailed.
>> If I brought mine up, would you wash it,
[22:47] too?
>> I can I can have our summer intern do it
[22:52] to the people.
>> Uh, first item that I've got on the
[22:58] agenda is to approve an application to
work in the county's rightway for
[23:03] Mid-Americ Energy to Bore Underground
and Overhead Line uh Southtown on Gosh
[23:10] Park Road. Uh the address
>> 2428.
[23:14] » There you go. 2428 Gosh Park Road.
>> I would think they have everything in
[23:18] order and all everything taken care of.
>> Would the moratorum or the ordinance
[23:23] that we haven't passed apply to this in
any way, shape or form or no?
[23:27] » No. Because the one for electrical you
guys
[23:32] » rescended back
>> rescended back. There's no moratorum for
[23:37] » for electrical. I'll make a motion to
approve the work the kind right away
[23:41] from Mid America at 2428 Gotch Park
Road.
[23:47] » We have a motion and a second.
>> Yes.
[23:50] » Any other discussion?
>> All in favor?
[23:53] » I
oppose. Same sign. Motion carries.
[24:00] Uh but back to that I think even if they
were following through with that that
[24:07] doesn't that doesn't address existing
lines that are already in place. It's
[24:12] mainly for future development.
>> These are the people that I was in touch
[24:16] with me and asked me about this prior to
that. That's why we we approached that.
[24:20] % that's only the reason I'm asking
because um this is why they got up
[24:27] » was to be able to maintain that
>> worried about existence to be able to do
[24:31] what they want to do out there need to
do out there. So thank you.
[24:35] Uh the second item that I've got on the
agenda is to approve an application to
[24:40] work in the county's rightway with uh
Gary Jensen for doing a tile repair
[24:45] there by uh Randy Davis's place on
Colorado. Um
[24:52] Gary reached out to me. I think it was
two Fridays ago. Uh needed to do some
[25:01] repair work and and the tile worked its
way out into the rideway. Um, I told him
[25:08] it was too late for the agenda
to approve on Monday, but
[25:13] he's a contractor in good standing with
the county for doing tower repair. So, I
[25:18] just gave him the permission to go ahead
and do it with the understanding that
[25:22] I'd get the board's permission and then
I forgot to do it last week with all of
[25:27] the
>> uh
[25:30] second reading Yeah.
>> items. So, I'm bringing it to you this
[25:35] week, but he was able to get the repair
done.
[25:41] » I'll make a motion to approve
application work for the county right
[25:44] away for Journey to add Randy Gibson's
residence.
[25:49] » You have a motion.
>> I'll second and a second. Any more
[25:53] discussion? All in favor? I post the
same sign. Motion carried.
[26:03] This is one that I just need a signature
on. This was the fuel quotes that we
[26:08] approved
uh
[26:12] last week.
>> Last week,
[26:14] » the date.
>> Yes. So, it's just the contract that's
[26:19] tied with that.
[26:25] » Thank you.
Uh,
[26:30] next item,
Murray Bridge.
[26:33] » Murray Bridge Dave
is an oversized copy of the bridge
[26:40] inspection
reports with
[26:45] pictures, notes,
uh, etc. Um, I sent you guys an email
[26:52] with the a bridged version,
but uh to summarize, Chuck Britson came
[27:00] on June 10th of this year to inspect
Murray Bridge after the May 5th
[27:09] accident.
Uh, their observations were similar to
[27:13] what we had all seen when we were out
there visiting it. Uh the west rails
[27:18] were hit on uh both sides of the road.
The south beam
[27:24] uh was twisted and failed.
Uh multiple vertical members
[27:32] experienced uh hitting damage without
tearing as well as hitting damage with
[27:39] tearing.
Um
[27:42] there was seven vertical members that
were hit and twisted. Uh an additional
[27:50] seven vertical members that were hit and
showed bowing out away from the bridge.
[27:57] Um a total of eight vertical members
that had
[28:03] uh significant damage to them. Um, I'm
sorry, eight vertical members that
[28:09] showed damage with two showing
significant damage. Uh, Chuck Britson's
[28:14] recommendation is that the bridge
remains closed to all traffic. And their
[28:20] verbiage or their reasoning for that is
according to Iowa when it comes to
[28:26] bridges, you can't load rate a bridge
for less than three tons. and this
[28:31] bridge was already at three tons prior
to the the hitting and damage that was
[28:38] done. Um they did say that uh
repairs could possibly be done though
[28:49] looking at the amount of damage it would
be significant repairs and some of the
[28:54] repairs that would need to be done. you
would almost have to pick up the bridge,
[28:58] move it to dry land, do the repairs, and
then move the bridge back out on
[29:03] to the peers, making it
fiscally irresponsible for us to
[29:10] » Yeah.
>> try and attempt
[29:12] » costwise would not be good.
>> Yeah.
[29:16] » So, you said the eight that
had either bent moved or are those the
[29:23] crisscross or those board on top? Those
are the straight up and down vertical
[29:27] members.
>> So there's eight of them and there's
[29:30] only one, two, three, four, five, six on
each side. So eight of the 12
[29:36] » got hit. So um six of those had minor
hits. Uh two of them were pretty
[29:45] substantial
where they bowed out and twisted.
[29:51] So,
>> do we have any information on that?
[29:56] » Sheriff's department has been looking
into
[30:00] every reported name that's come out. Um,
>> somebody will spill it someday. It'll
[30:07] come out someday.
>> Yeah.
[30:09] » Yeah. I mean, it's
>> delayed by them. But
[30:15] » every time we hear a name, we pass it on
to the sheriff's department and they
[30:21] look into it.
I mean, I I I haven't turned in a
[30:26] certain guy that I know that runs a sign
installation company that
[30:32] has a boom lift
>> was reported in the area.
[30:36] » Yeah. Yeah. I think it was Harry and Bob
signs was
[30:40] » Bob and
Are we gonna make sure that it's closed
[30:45] off well so people cannot go?
>> Yeah. So it is it is closed off nice. I
[30:50] thought I mean I see that
>> the day that we the day that we went uh
[30:56] out on site on the 5th. We had loads of
rock delivered on both sides of the
[31:01] road, dumped on the road, and then we
placed fence and and barricades
[31:06] uh just on the outside of those. The the
public has been very respectful.
[31:14] » Fields anymore?
>> Nope.
[31:16] » Yeah.
>> Nope. I mean, they've been they've been
[31:18] very respectful at uh leaving those
piles of rock and and the signs in
[31:23] place. Um, I do know quite a few people
have gone out there and basically fished
[31:30] off of the bridge since its closure.
>> Is that safe?
[31:36] » It It's safe for for walking pedestrian
traffic. Um my questions for the bridge
[31:44] inspectors
last week when he turned in the report
[31:49] uh stem from
uh more of a moving forward. You know,
[31:57] if if the recommendation is to leave
closed, uh is this still considered a
[32:02] historic bridge with all the damage
that's been done to it? um you know,
[32:10] conversations that we'd had in the past
was possibly getting votes to pick the
[32:16] thing up and move it up trail. Is that
still even feasible with the damage
[32:21] that's been done to it?
>> Probably not.
[32:24] » He didn't know.
>> Um my concern is on the rails part of
[32:29] it,
[32:32] if someone were to fall if they're
liable for that. bridge is closed. They
[32:37] shouldn't be on it.
>> Okay.
[32:40] » So,
>> I'm just just making sure
[32:43] » it's it's the same as uh when when
somebody drives around barricades
[32:49] uh during a construction project and and
ends up damaging their vehicle. They're
[32:54] not supposed to be on it.
So,
[33:00] » well, I know we're going to have people
that are saying that, "Oh, God, just
[33:04] weld a couple of places and
>> you're back and
[33:09] » I think these pictures are fairly
easy to understand how
[33:17] was before and it's still now it's a lot
more."
[33:22] So
>> I would imagine that EMS and fire
[33:25] department all knows about this and they
have different routes need to take and
[33:30] » yeah and with the three ton load limit
most of their equipment wasn't able to
[33:35] actually go across it anyways.
[33:39] » Well I guess hopefully we got our
fingers crossed that we'll be diverting
[33:44] traffic through a new bridge
>> someday. Yeah. I mean, uh, uh, results
[33:51] are due the end of this month, which is
tomorrow. Um,
[33:56] » so that will let us know if we're in
still in the game or if we've been
[34:01] » if we've been accepted.
So,
[34:04] » end of June.
>> End of June. So, usually the the
[34:10] announcement happens within two weeks
after that. So,
[34:15] » and we're waiting back it out.
>> Uh, I did reach out to them after this
[34:22] damage happened to let him know that the
bridge was
[34:26] closed and
for our application that was turned in
[34:30] in February, it was it was too late to
>> add to it,
[34:34] » add to it. But if for some reason we
don't get approved this time around,
[34:42] uh, we'd be able to add that
factor to the next application.
[34:49] So,
>> all right.
[34:57] Um, the other thing I guess I can talk
to you about uh is Senate File 378,
[35:05] which it is, uh, the speed limit change
on hard surface roads. So, effective
[35:12] July 1,
uh, all county paved roads
[35:20] will transition from 55 miles an hour to
60 miles an hour. Uh,
[35:28] we currently do not own any 55 mph
signs. The only locations that you see
[35:35] 55 mph signs are city signs
where they have passed resolutions to
[35:42] reduce the speed in town to anywhere
from 25 to 45 m an hour. So the white
[35:49] and black speed limit 55 mph signs that
you see as you're leaving town actually
[35:55] belong to the cities. Um, as of right
now, I haven't heard from any of the
[36:00] cities
making requests for
[36:06] uh the stickers that they're allowing uh
counties and and states to install on
[36:14] the 55 mph signs.
Um,
[36:18] » do we get them from the from the state
at no I mean, I'm asking
[36:22] » it won't be no cost, but Okay. It would
be um more than likely something that
[36:28] you would order from like Iowa Prison
Industries.
[36:31] » Sure.
>> What would the stick factor on I mean on
[36:36] an old sign that Do you have to would
you have to clean that to
[36:40] » probably have to climb up there and
job? You're going to have to have two
[36:47] guys here. One to hold the ladder. Well,
we we'd probably I would send out Rob in
[36:53] the sign truck where he's got a we have
a platform that he could walk out on and
[37:00] » basically take it off.
>> But we don't but we don't have any signs
[37:03] is what you're telling me.
>> We don't
[37:05] » Okay.
>> We we'd be looking at trying to get some
[37:10] stickers on behalf of the cities. So
>> then there,
[37:15] » but as of right now, we we don't have
anything. But like I said, no cities
[37:19] have reached out to us either. So
there's really nothing for us to do at
[37:24] this point.
>> That's the state man does. The state's
[37:27] mandating this. So is it something that
we need to do? I'm ask them.
[37:31] » We don't own anything.
>> Okay.
[37:35] » Uh the the mandate actually falls onto
the cities
[37:40] at this point. it'd be whether or not
you guys as the board of supervisors
[37:45] want to extend an olive branch to the
smaller communities and look at
[37:50] purchasing stickers to go on their
signs.
[37:54] So,
>> but either way, whether it's whether
[37:57] it's marked as a as a sign of of 55 or
or not, the speed limit will be 60 once
[38:04] you
>> sure
[38:06] » get beyond that point. Um the
recommendation from
[38:12] the state is that no stickers go up
before July 1. Um they've
[38:18] stated that uh the signs can be taken
down and replaced with a uh end speed
[38:26] zone sign. I believe
it's a white and black
[38:33] » Yeah.
>> sign to the other. It just says end
[38:36] speed zone. So, um,
>> or you can get a ticket for driving too
[38:41] slow. Just a joke.
>> I
[38:46] Is that a [laughter] thing?
>> Um,
[38:51] steel coats are to be treated similar to
a gravel road. So, if it's seal coat
[38:57] road, it's still 55.
[39:02] » I don't know.
>> H.
[39:04] » It's a seal coat. Um,
>> tar and chips.
[39:08] » Chip. Yeah, tar and chips. So, drag
strip would be a seal coat road. Um,
[39:15] east of Thor, that mile is a seal coat
road.
[39:20] The north end of Sheldon is Seal Coat.
>> It's a hard thing to distinguish for the
[39:26] general public.
>> Yeah.
[39:32] Well, but I think by Sheldon is already
speed controlled.
[39:37] » I think so.
>> At least the north end.
[39:39] » Yeah.
>> Where the curves are at, I think is
[39:41] already speed controlled.
>> Yeah.
[39:45] » So, cities are interested. We can get a
gallon of white paint and some
[39:49] » go get some Sharpies.
>> Yeah.
[39:54] Uh transitioning into Sheldon
>> is
[39:59] the
uh acceptance of the final plat for
[40:07] Riverbend Estates.
[40:15] The
numbering has been completed uh by Kyle
[40:21] for
uh plat one and eventual plat 2. Um flat
[40:29] one is the smaller section down here on
the south side of the woodland area.
[40:38] That would be
uh a grass lot basically 10 through 20.
[40:46] Um
1 through nine is phase two
[40:52] and depending on
uh the success of phase one and phase
[40:58] two would be whether or not phase three
when phase three gets developed.
[41:05] And mainly that reasoning is because
there's a couple of drainage district
[41:08] tile that run through phase three area
that would need to be relocated which
[41:14] would be costly.
So
[41:18] » yeah, that's what I was hoping that the
the maps would show the drainage tile.
[41:23] » Uh I believe they do.
>> Okay.
[41:27] » There's a private looming. There's a a a
relief there's a a regular county main
[41:33] and a relief main that run through
there.
[41:40] [clears throat]
[41:43] Okay. There was one that comes off
across about halfway
[41:48] section two.
I remember when they were talking about
[41:53] that pond.
So you can see one comes through here
[41:59] and the other one comes through here.
[42:09] But what the what they as developers are
looking for is uh the board to accept
[42:14] and place on file the final flats so
that they can uh start selling lots.
[42:27] Is is there any pond proposal on that
map, Ben?
[42:33] » No.
>> Okay.
[42:35] » It would be my recommendation to not do
one.
[42:39] » Yes.
>> But
[42:44] » I would I would agree with that.
The issue with having a pond in that
[42:49] area would be how it would affect your
drainage district tile that are running
[42:54] through there because they're going to
want something to feed that pond like a
[42:59] drainage district tile
>> which now becomes
[43:03] » an issue down the road.
>> Yep.
[43:08] Or we don't want to use our road as part
of the
[43:12] holding bench for the pond.
Yeah, I
[43:19] you'd have to have the engineering firm
look at it and figure out how they would
[43:24] be able to do a pond and not impede
drainage to those people that are hooked
[43:29] to that main.
[43:33] » Okay.
>> But there's nothing on this uh
[43:36] referencing a pond.
>> Good.
[43:41] So then they're all in compliance with
everything. As far as we're concerned,
[43:45] » as far as we're concerned, uh the the
board of adjustment approved the
[43:52] uh the subdivision
with the understanding that they would
[43:58] submit the final platce completed.
Um they've submitted them. Like I said,
[44:06] the developer has reached out asking the
board of supervisors to accept and place
[44:12] on file the final plats. Um,
and then their plan is to
[44:20] start selling lots.
[44:24] » I'm sorry,
>> I was going to say the board of
[44:26] adjustment has seen these final plats.
Yes, they've been submitted to the board
[44:31] of adjustment, but like I said, it
everything's been approved at this
[44:36] point. It's just accepting them and
placing them on file.
[44:40] » Okay.
>> Like even the board of supervisors have
[44:42] approved the
subdivision.
[44:49] » Okay.
>> We need a motion for an approval. and
[44:53] need to accept and place on file the
Riverbend estate flat one final cornet
[45:00] township section three.
>> I'll make a motion accept and place on
[45:03] file the riverbed states plat one final
corn township section three.
[45:10] » I'll second.
>> We have a motion and a second for that
[45:14] accepting this. Any other discussions?
>> How's the septic systems going to work?
[45:19] Are they all going to have septic tanks
or is this going to be a collection
[45:22] point of some kind? I'm asking. Don't
know.
[45:25] » Don't know.
Uh it's out in the country, so
[45:29] everybody's going to either have their
own septic or they'll share between uh
[45:35] two lots.
>> Okay. I was just reading through it and
[45:39] I haven't come across it. That's why I
was asking. I know that on the other
[45:43] side of the river, I'm pretty sure that
the country club had stuffed down there,
[45:47] but the river um whatever that is on the
north side,
[45:52] believe they or
septic as well. So,
[45:58] » yeah, I'm sure they are.
>> It'll be there won't be there won't be
[46:02] force main sewer over here because
they're not looking at incorporating
[46:06] this portion. So, it is going to be
septic. It is going to be
[46:09] » wells,
>> private wells. Whether that's a
[46:12] community well between lot owners or not
is yet to be determined.
[46:19] » Okay,
>> we have a motion and a second.
[46:24] Any more discussion?
All in favor?
[46:27] » I post same sign. Motion carried.
Okay,
[46:35] » that was because with the with the
requirements for the septic system, you
[46:40] know as well as I do, you got to have
somebody you got to have 100 foot for
[46:43] every bedroom in the place. You got a
four bedroomedroom house that that be
[46:46] quite a big quite a good size chunk. I
was looking at the the denominations of
[46:50] the size of the lots and
>> those got fit in Well, it was a minimum
[46:54] of two acres per lot
>> for requirement, which is what the
[46:58] county's
>> sure
[47:00] » requirement is out in the country is
minimum two acre uh which is what was
[47:05] deemed as the minimal amount of sides
needed to be able to install septic
[47:11] leech field necessary offsets for a well
propane.
[47:17] » That's why I was asking that question.
>> Yeah.
[47:23] All right. Anything else, Ben?
>> I have nothing else. You have anything
[47:28] else for me?
>> Was there a some information on a bridge
[47:33] that was hit north of Hardy?
>> Which time it gets hit about?
[47:38] » Yeah,
>> I just read it in a police report.
[47:42] » Excuse me.
>> Was it Utah?
[47:44] » It's It's uh
It's the bridge up by Borland's hog
[47:49] site. Oh,
>> just off of the black top. Nobody can
[47:53] make the corner.
>> I see.
[47:56] » And they they've found even worse
drivers lately because instead of
[48:01] getting hit every six months, now it's
getting hit every six days.
[48:05] » Um,
[48:08] yeah.
>> Was there any Rhymer's trucks up there?
[48:11] » No. [laughter]
I don't think so. with that if he's
[48:15] hauling hogs. Boy, that guy's really
>> in this type of weather.
[48:21] » Well, that'd be a fun job.
>> Yeah, it uh it got hit again over this
[48:28] weekend. So, um
>> I mean that's just a constant. I don't
[48:34] know how many times that it's been hit.
>> Well, we just fixed it last week and
[48:39] then it got hit again this weekend, so
it didn't even make it a week without
[48:42] getting hit.
>> Well, Most of them are in the night
[48:46] hours that they're doing.
>> Yes.
[48:48] » Loading and unloading.
>> And that's not on the 5-year plan to
[48:51] replace. Has it been?
>> I might have put that one on
[48:58] just because of the amount of repairs
that we've done. Like structurally it's
[49:02] fine, but having, you know, having to
repair repair the the bridge rails
[49:11] » four times a year.
>> We put a pipe in there, you would you'd
[49:15] be able to spread that out and make the
corner a little radius, a little wider,
[49:18] which probably would facilitate four
drivers,
[49:21] » which is, you know, I mean, like you
said, it's a $200,000 fix for drivers
[49:26] that can't drive.
>> Yep. Mhm.
[49:29] » But
>> and as of right now, we're just fixing
[49:32] it on our at our cost.
>> Yes. Yeah. I mean,
[49:38] was it last year the truck driver missed
the corner so bad he had to get a tow
[49:42] truck there. Uh that one we were able to
actually build a guy's insurance. Um
[49:51] otherwise, if it happens during the
night, it just goes
[49:55] unreported. What should be done?
>> Close the bridge.
[50:01] Just I mean, if they can't make the
corner, punish them. Make them drive
[50:05] five miles around on gravel. Um, which
might be what happens next time we close
[50:12] and it gets hit is it just gets closed
for a couple of weeks. Um,
[50:19] yeah, I' I've scheduled it in a
five-year plan. The the long-term fix is
[50:24] like Mike said to tear it out, put in a
box cover in and have it wide enough
[50:31] that
>> even
[50:34] make the corner.
>> Why is my name?
[50:41] » Well,
>> so that even I can make the corner.
[50:45] » I'll throw myself under a bus. with a
pick.
[50:48] » I wouldn't say it's only the livestock
followers that I'm pretty sure there's
[50:53] the feed guys that are
>> feed guys. Yeah. Have some new marks on
[50:57] them once in a while that they don't
know how that happened. So, yeah.
[51:02] » All right. Well, thank you, Ben.
>> Thank you.
[51:08] » Yeah, they get they get filled every
cell, you know. Uh, I put a note on the
[51:16] desk Thursday after you and I talked,
but they didn't work Friday. So, I think
[51:21] the goal is to try and get it sprayed
today.
[51:23] » Um, one that I drove by yesterday, I
don't know it was on your radar, Georgia
[51:28] Avenue, just north of 270th Street.
Used to be a grove of trees there. Um,
[51:38] » oh, that's
Julius.
[51:41] » Is that Ron's now? Okay. Yeah. I drove
by it last night. It's pretty thick.
[51:48] » That's the iron leis.
>> Yeah.
[51:50] » Yeah.
>> Then I' I'd like to ask you a couple of
[51:54] weeks ago, we passed or we
we passed your uh your bill. You had an
[52:01] $18,000 bill at John Deere. And I was
always going to ask you what was that
[52:07] repair bill from John Deere for that
that kind of money. Do you you happen to
[52:11] remember? I'm sorry for bringing it up
late,
[52:13] » but wondering what you had for
>> That was like 18 or 20.
[52:17] » Was that that wasn't that wasn't John
Deere. That was Murphy down in Fort
[52:21] Dodge.
>> That was uh repair to
[52:26] 65. I believe
>> it was uh
[52:32] uh dog legging on the back side
>> as well as I think we had to replace
[52:40] um
was it the differential
[52:43] » on 65?
>> Yeah, I always
[52:46] » Yeah, it was one of our maintainers and
>> they get it all peeled up.
[52:49] » Yeah.
>> Good.
[52:50] » So, we've got 65 back now. It's a It's a
winner machine. Um,
[52:57] it's I feel like this is the second time
we've had 65 repaired for the same
[53:02] problem where all of a sudden you're
driving down the road to be in road gear
[53:06] and then it starts to offset and the
back end starts all died shifting and
[53:11] walking on you. Um, this was to repair
that.
[53:16] » Is this one that's going to be heading
down the road then? Is that what you're
[53:20] planning on?
>> Yeah. So, we've replaced
[53:24] 62 and 63. I think uh 64 and 65 will be
the next ones, but we're looking
[53:35] » two. Yeah, it's going to be two seasons
out because right now our our obligation
[53:41] is for the two dump trucks with snow
equipment that we've got contracts on as
[53:45] well as a a new end loader.
>> Um so, maintainers would be the
[53:54] following fiscal year.
>> Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
[53:58] » Has that uh has that backhoe been
inspected yet?
[54:01] » No, I called and left a message for the
guy last Thursday. He has not been here
[54:06] to evaluate it.
>> Okay.
[54:09] » Um but like I said, the the front and
back windsh glass has been broken out of
[54:14] it and the Rob's cab has
been uh damaged. So,
[54:22] » okay.
>> He'll probably [clears throat] fine.
[54:25] » But you drove it to town.
>> We did drive it to town. We stood it up
[54:28] that Thursday.
Um, let all the fluids drain back down
[54:34] and it fired up and drove back to town.
>> Right.
[54:37] » So,
someone asked me, um, would we consider
[54:44] » putting a reward out on something like
that? I said, I didn't know.
[54:52] Uh I mean I don't reward leading to the
arrest. I'm assuming that's what they
[55:00] meant.
>> I suppose you could put they could look
[55:03] at a reward comparable to what our
deductible is if it lead if it turns
[55:09] into and leads to an arrest.
>> Right. I said I would ask so I've
[55:15] fulfilled my
request. I said I just soon I didn't do
[55:19] it, but
anyway.
[55:24] All right. Thank you.
>> All right. Thank you.
[55:27] » Thanks.
[55:30] » All right, Jana.
Sorry.
[55:38] » Looks like you have some
>> Yeah, I put copies in each of your
[55:43] drawer. These are just we're trying to
clean up some of our bat taxes that
[55:49] aren't going to be paid and they won't
be. Um so Ashley and I have been working
[55:53] on things and these are just the two I'm
going to start with but there'll be some
[55:57] more in the future. So the first one is
um Mellin ammonia pipeline.
[56:04] That one was just a BA fence that was
around some tanks. They removed it. I've
[56:10] tried to contact them and tell them
that, hey, you we're a year behind in
[56:13] taxes. You still need to pay this.
They're not going to pay it. So, I have
[56:19] no nobody's gotten back to me. And
so, I just want to get it off the the
[56:26] records, too. So, um taxes are $18 plus
penalties and cost. Now, it's 24, but
[56:34] it's just going to keep going up and up.
Oh, yeah.
[56:37] » So,
I'd like to get that one done right
[56:41] away.
[56:46] And then the next one,
this one.
[56:49] » You want to do these separate or you
>> still in business? I I guess that's it.
[56:53] First, are they still in business?
>> They are.
[56:57] » Well, my question is what happens if
this is an abandoned one?
[57:01] » No, the be the first one, Mellan.
>> Yeah. What it was is they had some kind
[57:05] of fencing up around and it was assessed
taxes as a BA.
[57:13] It's gone. They took it down. It's not
there anymore. So now it's off the rolls
[57:17] » which is
>> the BA
[57:21] » the which is building on land. Oh, okay.
Building on lease land. Sorry guys.
[57:27] So it's gone.
That wasn't the one out there where they
[57:32] put that giant pipeline in. Not up by
Gary names. Is it? Is that where that
[57:35] Oh,
>> no. This is over where Swans used to be
[57:38] up in that area.
>> Something. It's some It's somewhere up
[57:42] in there.
>> And
[57:46] um the assessors have taken it off the
RO so there's not going to be any more
[57:50] taxes on it. This would just sit and
just accumulate penalties and cost every
[57:54] year.
>> So, what do we do? Just abate it or do
[57:58] we
>> Yeah, just debate it. Get it off.
[58:01] » Make a motion to abate the taxes on
Mellan property for
[58:05] » Yeah. It'd be for 24
>> for 2020. Yeah. $24.
[58:10] » How long do you take before you say,
"Hey, let's let's just
[58:16] » Oh, there's there's
>> there's We're trying to pay more
[58:19] attention to it." So, this is a BA
building on lease land. They're the
[58:25] hardest ones because there's nothing we
can do about it. They can't go on tax
[58:28] sale. So, we can't collect anything on
them. So,
[58:33] we have
>> there's no way to recover it.
[58:36] » Yeah. We just nothing. We can't do
anything with it. The state is trying to
[58:41] do um legislation on if it's over I
think it's 20,000
[58:48] » that we could put it on tax sale. In all
honesty, I don't think it'll ever do
[58:52] anything because nobody in the tax
investors wants a building on lease
[58:56] lane. So, that one I disagree with them
on that. I don't think they should do
[59:02] anything. But, yeah, it's it'll just sit
there and we won't get our money back on
[59:08] it.
>> Did you make a motion on that?
[59:12] We have a motion and a second for the
that parcel the B8
[59:18] owned by Mellan.
>> Any other discussion?
[59:23] All in favor?
>> I post same sign. Motion carried.
[59:30] » Okay. So, the next one is another one
that has been on since 2008
[59:36] and I just want to get it cleared up
because all it's doing is accumulating
[59:41] and accumulating and it's we're not
going to get paid for it. So, it was for
[59:45] Twin Rivers Valley Telephone Company.
They disbanded back in 2008.
[59:52] Technically, they were supposed to pay
those taxes, but there's no way of us
[59:57] holding them to it.
to make them pay it. And so just every
[1:00:04] year it just keeps accumulating
penalties. And um if you see in my
[1:00:10] attachment there,
I mean we're we're up to
[1:00:15] and this one actually is kind of old
16,000 almost $17,000.
[1:00:21] So it was more of like a utility because
it was for the telephone and internet
[1:00:25] system for them.
So there's really not nothing we can do
[1:00:31] to be able to collect it. And so I'd
like to just get it off the books so
[1:00:36] it's not coming up every year that I
have to make sure it doesn't go on the
[1:00:40] tax sale and
all that. So
[1:00:46] » there is no subsidant thing to to put on
tax.
[1:00:49] » No,
>> there's no building. There's no nothing.
[1:00:51] » No, there's not. And if you see, I got
that order cancelling the certificate
[1:00:56] and um cancelling certificate and
cancelling tariff
[1:01:00] that the state did. So
it it would just be nice to not have it
[1:01:09] on anyone.
So,
[1:01:14] but and I think I I didn't make copies
of everything from clear back in 2008,
[1:01:21] but
yeah, it was just one of those that
[1:01:29] it would be nice just to have it off.
>> Well, nice to have it off.
[1:01:34] » Oh, so there's no actual physical land
or anything? No, no. This is this would
[1:01:39] be for the telephone service and
internet service
[1:01:42] » that Twin River Valley Telephone gave to
the people. And then they disbanded
[1:01:48] » um was it 2008? Disbanded back in 2008.
So, and
[1:01:56] um they sent us all the information.
So, we just we just [clears throat]
[1:02:02] didn't do anything with it at that time.
It' just be nice to get it off.
[1:02:10] » Anyone on the line?
>> I don't think
[1:02:16] » I'll second.
>> We have a motion in a second.
[1:02:20] More discussion.
>> All in favor? I
[1:02:23] » I
>> I post same sign.
[1:02:27] That one is off the floor. And like I
said, Ashley and I are working on we
[1:02:33] have a lot of county held a lot. We have
county held tax certificates that we're
[1:02:40] trying to get
either the cities or land owners beside
[1:02:46] them to maybe possibly take them, get
possession of them so that we can get
[1:02:50] them back on the tax role. But at that
time, I'll have to come and talk to you
[1:02:54] because we may have to forgive the back
taxes.
[1:02:59] Yeah.
>> I've tried the reduction part
[1:03:05] » and they're just not like I we don't
want it.
[1:03:09] » If we want it, we want to unfortunately,
you know, let us have it
[1:03:14] » and then at least then we can maybe get
it back on the tax roles where we are
[1:03:19] bringing in the taxes.
>> So,
[1:03:21] » I agree.
>> But we are working on that pulling them
[1:03:23] out and I'm hoping
>> all right
[1:03:28] » to get them cleared up. So, I'll
probably be visiting you again.
[1:03:32] » Well, we're usually in this area unless
it's a reading of an ordinance, then we
[1:03:36] might have to move to another room. But,
>> thank you so much.
[1:03:40] » Yep. Thanks, guys. Have a good day.
>> Appreciate it.
[1:03:45] » All right, we are speeding right along
here towards our drainage party at 10.
[1:03:53] Um,
looks like we have a resolution. Is that
[1:03:58] where we're going to?
>> Yes.

>> our committee reports done.
[1:15:15] » I was at the courthouse. Was it Tuesday
or Wednesday? We came Wednesday the 24th
[1:15:22] as the reporter's office.
And then Thursday I had a E 911 board
[1:15:30] meeting with the executive committee
discussing
[1:15:35] » which we not talking about dispatch
fun stuff. That's all I have for you
[1:15:43] week.
>> Uh Monday was building families um
[1:15:48] working that's going quite well. I'm
kind of surprised about that one but it
[1:15:52] is it is going quite well. Uh Tuesday I
had a weed complaint. Went out and
[1:15:56] looked at it. Uh had a complaint about
junk and debris north of Liverour. Got a
[1:16:00] hold of Dean. He went up and took
pictures. I got it back to him to see
[1:16:04] what he's There's people piling garbage
or junk out north of town. They're going
[1:16:08] to There was an issue about that. So
we'll see what we can get done about
[1:16:11] that. Uh Wednesday called the DOT East
and West to Humble for the Thistle
[1:16:16] issues. um they got rid of their
contractor so they're trying to do it on
[1:16:21] their own and and it's just a it's a
rough start for them and there is a few
[1:16:24] out there that they need to address. Um
decaterization was the last meeting was
[1:16:30] Wednesday. They don't uh no funding.
Basically, it was the last meeting we're
[1:16:35] going to have for that. Thursday, I went
out to DD62 on the bike trail where Cory
[1:16:41] had did that did that repair, looked at
the the repair and the condition of the
[1:16:46] bike trail. And I just addressed it with
with Todd.
[1:16:50] » What was that? I'm sorry.
>> Pardon me.
[1:16:52] » Where was it?
>> DD62 uh east of Jim Day's place. He
[1:16:57] crossed the bike trail completely took
it out but they fixed the fixed the main
[1:17:00] and put it back together and they just
wanted to look at it.
[1:17:03] » Uh stopped by do Ron Collinses altered
by Livermore. I think that's DD11. I'm
[1:17:08] not positive. Um Ron Collins's um uh
what's his name from Manson is taken
[1:17:15] care of. It's over half done. It's
probably a gun now. Calmer Calmer
[1:17:20] finished his working on that when I went
by it. um stopped at the courthouse,
[1:17:24] visited with um
about issues, stopped at Kyle Bissell's
[1:17:31] visited about the 911 meeting, the
executive meeting, seeing what's what we
[1:17:36] need to do, what was going on. Um
another we complain by the museum.
[1:17:43] um
uh
[1:17:47] BN to touch base with him on what needs
to be taken care of that's not being
[1:17:51] taken care of. Uh Friday visited with
Ben was
[1:17:59] » what was the
>> I called BNN or BMW spraying to try and
[1:18:03] get in touch with him to spray things
that haven't been sprayed yet. It's
[1:18:07] that's getting
>> to the point I'd like to get them
[1:18:09] sprayed before they turn to white
because once they once they seed, you're
[1:18:13] going to have 25,000 more of them
>> versus killing them now. That's why I'm
[1:18:17] kind of in a hurry to get them sprayed.
But, uh, Friday I talked to Ben about
[1:18:22] Avery's Hill, the dirt pile up there.
It's got iron weeds and marijuana
[1:18:25] growing. And I addressed that again
today.
[1:18:30] Another
thistle complaint. 19 maybe seven Quebec
[1:18:36] Avenue both sides I got to go look at
after this meeting. So other than that
[1:18:40] nothing
[1:18:44] took care of it.
>> Well, I did have there was a thistle
[1:18:51] issue issue that I I actually stepped
over the line until the farmer get
[1:18:57] helped the weed commissioner out on
260th Street. Uh and he did right the
[1:19:05] next day it was over taken care of. So
uh uh other than that I had a
[1:19:11] cancellation on my
little
[1:19:17] » Yeah. Thank you.
[1:19:24] Kitty cats. I had a brain kitty cats.
They cancelled her, but I didn't have
[1:19:31] anything else other than my student.
[1:19:35] » I had no official meetings.
[1:19:39] » FYI, I was just looking on this
agreement with community family
[1:19:43] resources. The PDM rate is $450. That
includes their physical exam evaluation
[1:19:50] and whatever 3.7 services. So that's
they charge $450
[1:19:57] and there's $5,400 allocated. So you
divide that by the $450, that's 12. So
[1:20:05] that's basically one a month.
>> Yep. that um they would covered for
[1:20:10] Humble County people that
wouldn't have the funds to to uh or
[1:20:17] insurance to be picked up and hopefully
that start them on their road to
[1:20:23] recovery for the CFR. So,
>> all right. Um, Tuesday I had Unmill
[1:20:33] um Zoom
for
[1:20:37] the monthly meeting. [clears throat]
Um, I didn't get back in time to go to
[1:20:43] Fort Dodge.
My uh
[1:20:47] friend that the meal,
[1:20:52] the minute I mention the meal, you'll
know who I'm talking about. They didn't
[1:20:55] have chicken. They didn't have chicken.
He was upset that the pizza wasn't as
[1:21:01] good as the chicken. So, I was glad I
did didn't go.
[1:21:07] Anybody know who I'm talking about?
Nope.
[1:21:09] » I I got an idea.
>> All right. Uh then on Wednesday, Bob and
[1:21:13] I met up here for a brief meeting. Um
Thursday, I did uh CFR um Thursday
[1:21:21] night. Everything seems to be going well
there. [sighs] that new building u that
[1:21:28] they're putting up down there is I mean
I guess as far as uh weatherwise the
[1:21:36] they it's just going gang busters for
you know they haven't had a whole lot of
[1:21:41] rain um to mess things up and they're
enclosing and so they've been doing
[1:21:47] pictures with the drone and and it's
just mindboggling to see how fast it's
[1:21:54] coming together. So, and then uh Friday
morning, my
[1:22:00] trip to Eldora
was uh interesting. Um for the most
[1:22:07] part, we got through we had a um
paperwork that will be coming for
[1:22:16] the 2080 agreements. Um, I reiterated or
they're probably tired of me hearing or
[1:22:23] hearing from me saying that, you know,
when the the counties that opted out, we
[1:22:28] got to make sure that when we get put
this stuff puts back in our board to say
[1:22:35] that, I'm just using Humble County or
Webster County, if they opted out of
[1:22:40] there and we have to vote to get them
back in, we just need to have a template
[1:22:44] so that we all all do it the same every
time so that we don't have somebody cuz
[1:22:51] this has 30-day window once um we
approve them down there then it comes
[1:22:57] back to us we each will okay them coming
back then it goes back to to Eldora then
[1:23:05] we have to get that to the state of Iowa
so that it can be um recorded unlike it
[1:23:12] it wasn't before so
uh other than that um The numbers are
[1:23:18] mind-boggling for the amount of kids
that are down there. I don't they're
[1:23:23] running in the 30s. Um, usually when the
weather warms up a little, things slow
[1:23:30] down, but we've been doing some out of
state holding for uh some people
[1:23:36] [clears throat] or some
state of South Dakota and I think
[1:23:40] they've even had a couple of Nebraska
kids over there that they've u taken
[1:23:46] care of. So,
um, other than that, we're, uh,
[1:23:54] trying to get a grip on our finances to
make and Cassie and and, uh, those guys
[1:24:00] are doing an awesome job down there. So,
everything looks good.
[1:24:08] We're leaving out there by noon. So
anyway, that was it for the and then
[1:24:14] yesterday or last night I talked with
Dave um
[1:24:19] Lee a minute trying to get a number for
the um
[1:24:25] parade and the way it sounds we're going
to I get a call um new co-op because we
[1:24:33] were going to use we're hoping to use
new co-op's loading area to for the
[1:24:39] veterans so they don't have get up
around First Avenue where all the
[1:24:43] congestion is and make make them have to
walk. So, we thought if we
[1:24:48] park them down here, new co-op and then
just go straight up First Avenue North,
[1:24:53] they'd be right to the parade route and
then they could bring them back around.
[1:24:58] The way it looks, there's like Dave said
it's in the
[1:25:03] 48 to 50 range, so we're hoping we can
get them. They talked about putting a
[1:25:09] couple some picnic tables on the these
trailers so that they can just set
[1:25:16] uh with picnic tables. Um I got to get a
hold of Jimmy Kirkoff said he would get
[1:25:23] a couple of trucks. So
um that was the
[1:25:28] the just of that. They're putting the
flags up Thursday night at 5:00. They
[1:25:33] changed that because the kids I don't
remember if it was baseball game or
[1:25:38] something that they
>> baseball game
[1:25:40] » they wanted to uh do it an hour earlier.
So um
[1:25:47] see what else was I
>> Thursday at 5:00
[1:25:50] » Thursday at 5 and then Friday uh Monday
following Monday they'll take them down
[1:25:56] at five.
So, and we thank those kids a lot cuz in
[1:26:03] the weather like this, it's a godsend
for uh
[1:26:10] all of us.
Um
[1:26:13] » you have any tie any idea what time
we're going to meet Saturday for to get
[1:26:19] » Well, um
>> the parade starts at 7. So, usually,
[1:26:25] however,
wherever we get told that the pickup
[1:26:29] will be, and it's usually on that uh
what is it there in front of First
[1:26:34] Avenue to the congregational church
towards uh they just put numbers there.
[1:26:40] I don't know what uh number will be. It
depends when
[1:26:44] » I haven't got any either
>> when uh Bob got notified, but I'm I'm
[1:26:48] going to be between there and hopefully
down at um getting the veterans and then
[1:26:54] I'll run up the jump in the pickup and
um so I'm assuming
[1:27:01] we're going to have to have those guys
getting loaded up before 6:30. So I
[1:27:07] might be cutting it close. Um, maybe
I'll see if I can steal my golf cart
[1:27:12] from my grandkids. And
>> are you running off?
[1:27:16] » Yeah, just run down there. But that's
kind of what I was thinking if we could
[1:27:20] do that. Um, get them loaded and then
I'll run up and ride with whoever's in
[1:27:25] be in our pickup. Um,
>> yeah,
[1:27:30] » we usually they won't [clears throat] I
mean it's 7 o'clock before they take
[1:27:34] off. So, uh, wherever the number is. So,
>> around 6:30.
[1:27:40] » Yeah.
>> 6:30ish.
[1:27:42] » 6:30ish.
>> Do the 630ish. And are we doing candy?
[1:27:46] Are we going to be tight?
>> 10 bucks a bag at Fairway.

[1:29:20] » yeah, I hear it's nasty back there. It
