1
00:07:39,410 --> 00:07:47,130
At this time I'd like to call the meeting to order, if we'd all stand please, and the Reverend

2
00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:51,790
Melvin Simpson from the First Church of God and Christ and Coffinville lead us in the morning

3
00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:52,470
invocation.

4
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:57,530
First kind of graces, Father God, we thank you, God, for all your many blessings.

5
00:07:58,490 --> 00:08:01,710
God, we thank you, God, for all to see this day that we had never seen before.

6
00:08:02,470 --> 00:08:06,550
God, we ask your blessings to the keepers, God, that send our will, bless our homes

7
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:10,930
our schools, bless our towns, our counties, bless each and every one of us, Lord.

8
00:08:11,370 --> 00:08:15,850
And God, we do thank you, God, for all your many blessings. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

9
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:24,910
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which

10
00:08:24,910 --> 00:08:30,730
it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

11
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:46,110
Commissioners, if you had a chance to look over the agenda for the July meeting and voices.

12
00:08:47,250 --> 00:08:49,230
I move we accept the consent agenda.

13
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:50,690
Second.

14
00:08:52,190 --> 00:08:54,770
Got a motion and a second call for the vote.

15
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:55,950
Yes.

16
00:08:57,610 --> 00:08:58,170
Yes.

17
00:08:59,270 --> 00:08:59,410
Yes.

18
00:08:59,410 --> 00:09:11,830
On today's agenda, commissioners, on data concerns, we have Kiana Kroger, old business,

19
00:09:12,490 --> 00:09:19,490
we have Corey White, county administration regarding the janitorial services, new business

20
00:09:19,490 --> 00:09:29,270
can affect with director on juvenile services, or JCAB board appointment, and

21
00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:34,470
then after today's meeting we'll go immediately into a budget work session.

22
00:09:35,690 --> 00:09:39,750
Mr. Is there anything else you'd like to add to the agenda or any questions?

23
00:09:41,070 --> 00:09:42,070
Motion to accept.

24
00:09:42,390 --> 00:09:47,230
Motion in a second. Call for the vote.

25
00:09:52,090 --> 00:09:56,860
Is Diane Grozier here by chance?

26
00:10:00,410 --> 00:10:03,250
She was on the agenda here, so we'll start her off.

27
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:03,590
Corey.

28
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:17,350
Good morning.

29
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:27,490
Last Monday at our regular meeting, I was asked to bring forward some quotes for outsourcing

30
00:10:27,490 --> 00:10:32,930
janitorial and we went over those quotes and it was just a discussion to

31
00:10:32,930 --> 00:10:40,710
review them and on Thursday I was asked to bring some more information regarding

32
00:10:41,470 --> 00:10:46,990
if this would be a potential savings and what it would look like and in

33
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:51,490
between Monday and Thursday I met with department heads and elected officials

34
00:10:51,490 --> 00:10:58,650
officials. And I also met with the facilities maintenance staff. And as I said, on Thursday,

35
00:10:59,290 --> 00:11:05,870
the elected officials and department heads really very much value having our in-house

36
00:11:05,870 --> 00:11:12,070
janitorial services. They not only provide janitorial services, but they also do a

37
00:11:12,070 --> 00:11:18,610
lot of maintenance as well. And after talking to them, I presented the pros and cons

38
00:11:18,610 --> 00:11:26,210
of outsourcing and as you can see in the packet there are more pros to keeping

39
00:11:26,210 --> 00:11:34,710
janitorial in-house and there's also more savings as our current director of

40
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:39,570
facilities will be retiring and the assistant is moving up so that is the

41
00:11:39,570 --> 00:11:51,270
savings. So the total savings to keep janitorial services in house from this

42
00:11:51,270 --> 00:12:00,330
year of 2026 going into 2027 would be 114,000 which is more savings than

43
00:12:00,330 --> 00:12:01,090
outsourcing.

44
00:12:07,150 --> 00:12:11,530
So I'm basically just asking would you guys prefer to keep

45
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:19,050
our janitorial staff in-house or proceed with getting informal bids that

46
00:12:19,050 --> 00:12:25,490
would be posted as a publication? I think in my opinion it I think it's better to

47
00:12:25,490 --> 00:12:31,770
have it in-house keeping our personnel on and I know the janitorial crew help

48
00:12:31,770 --> 00:12:35,510
other departments when they need to move or when they need something they call

49
00:12:35,510 --> 00:12:40,130
them and and they they do that you get a contractor in here they're not

50
00:12:40,130 --> 00:12:44,030
going to be here they're not going to you know be willing to do that kind of

51
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:50,710
thing. I feel like it's better to keep it in house. Okay. Yeah I'm in complete

52
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:54,890
agreement too we need just keep it in house with the complexity of the

53
00:12:54,890 --> 00:12:59,410
different services I think it gives us a little more diversity to have them

54
00:12:59,410 --> 00:13:04,730
there to pick up daily. And I understand you guys are looking at ways

55
00:13:04,730 --> 00:13:09,690
to save money which is what we're supposed to do but I also would agree

56
00:13:09,690 --> 00:13:16,110
that we want to keep staff well as much as we can understand that right in

57
00:13:16,110 --> 00:13:22,630
house was going to be how much savings 114,000 and Corey I just want to say

58
00:13:22,630 --> 00:13:25,630
we're looking at all avenues to save money yes you are that's that's the

59
00:13:25,630 --> 00:13:29,910
reason we looked at this it was not a done deal we were just looking at it

60
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:37,750
that's right that okay anything else on that so noted action take them we'll

61
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:42,230
Like we're going. Yep. Okay. Thank you.

62
00:13:42,510 --> 00:13:43,070
Okay.

63
00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:46,020
Good

64
00:13:54,120 --> 00:14:08,960
morning. I'm here for JCAP appointment because as, as you may know, Chris Williams is my chairperson of the JCAP board and he is retiring on September 30th.

65
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:17,480
And so I have a recently opened J.C.A.B. general position and Chris is wanting to stay on the board.

66
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:22,700
And so I'm asking that you appoint him to that position because right now he represents the sheriff's office,

67
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,180
which Ron has been made aware of that we would need a replacement.

68
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,460
He has time because our next meeting is not until January.

69
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:41,940
But I'm asking that you appoint Chris to the open, recently opened general position so he can run on board and remain my chairperson on my board.

70
00:14:49,970 --> 00:14:50,870
That's your recommendation.

71
00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:51,730
Yes, sir.

72
00:14:51,950 --> 00:14:55,030
With that, I'll make a motion to accept that recommendation.

73
00:14:56,090 --> 00:14:56,210
Second.

74
00:14:57,190 --> 00:14:58,090
Motion in second.

75
00:14:58,590 --> 00:14:59,170
Call for the move.

76
00:14:59,170 --> 00:14:59,970
Thank you.

77
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,600
Yes.

78
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:01,920
Yes.

79
00:15:02,980 --> 00:15:03,160
Yes.

80
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,780
How long is that term for? What do they say? This term will be for three years.

81
00:15:10,540 --> 00:15:10,940
Yes, sir.

82
00:15:14,020 --> 00:15:15,640
Anything else? That's all I've got.

83
00:15:16,340 --> 00:15:16,400
Oh.

84
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,300
All right. Thank you.

85
00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:28,120
I do have chats in the audience. Chad, can you come forward? I do have question. I've been contacted

86
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:34,760
and by a few of the citizens wanting to know how

87
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,780
on this planning and zoning,

88
00:15:38,140 --> 00:15:41,780
if there's gonna be like a board or a steering committee

89
00:15:41,780 --> 00:15:44,480
or what we're kind of headed towards.

90
00:15:44,660 --> 00:15:45,700
I know we do have a plan.

91
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:47,440
For the zoning planning that's coming up,

92
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:48,320
starting in January.

93
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:52,200
Whether there's already a planning and zoning board,

94
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,840
which by the way,

95
00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:55,760
we need an appointment from Coffeeville.

96
00:15:56,220 --> 00:16:04,980
I've got a name for you. That's why I was calling you yep all the other positions are filled that there's one vacancy in your district

97
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,320
Which I was going to talk to you about as soon as I got a chance

98
00:16:11,340 --> 00:16:17,040
Tomorrow there's a meeting of Cory and I and and the company that's been hired

99
00:16:18,020 --> 00:16:23,000
So we can start getting a plan as you know, I'm really new into this. Yeah, so I don't know a lot about it

100
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,680
So I'm hoping to learn a lot more tomorrow

101
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,460
But I know we did state that we will have some public

102
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:37,420
Comment times that meetings to where they can come up and in the evenings and visit on that

103
00:16:37,420 --> 00:16:42,120
But I've had a couple of them that were showing interest on sitting on the

104
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:49,160
Steering committee or board if we did have anything of that nature there there is a meeting coming up

105
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,080
I can't remember the date for our cell phone towel. Do you remember the date?

106
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,420
Second, August 20th.

107
00:16:58,060 --> 00:16:58,520
27th.

108
00:16:58,920 --> 00:16:59,380
27th.

109
00:16:59,420 --> 00:16:59,800
27th.

110
00:16:59,820 --> 00:17:00,580
Look at my calendar.

111
00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:01,080
It's Thursday.

112
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:11,560
And it is for the August...

113
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,280
Yeah, 27th is a Thursday.

114
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,580
I believe that's the right day.

115
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:15,320
Yeah, 27th.

116
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,640
It's been the paper of record twice.

117
00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:19,450
It's been...

118
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,300
I think we're going to put it out on social media.

119
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:28,620
This is for request zoning in a three mile zone for a cell phone tower on 4,000

120
00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:37,460
just east of 3,900 and that meeting will be here in the basement at 7 p.m. on the

121
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:44,020
27th but it has been published or actually it will be published tomorrow in

122
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:48,560
the reporter and then again the following week actually I think it was

123
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,260
last weekend in this tomorrow.

124
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:55,880
Are we getting a lot of petitions on cell phone or cell towers?

125
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,360
This is the only one that I'm aware of.

126
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,600
Here in the lab?

127
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:07,120
And this one I inherited, they actually had a zoning meeting for it in May.

128
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:08,480
That's what I was going to say.

129
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,200
And they didn't have enough board members for a quorum, so they had to cancel the

130
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:13,500
meeting.

131
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,340
So we're trying it again.

132
00:18:17,820 --> 00:18:19,140
Yes, I'm Mr. Beaver.

133
00:18:20,540 --> 00:18:23,760
I noticed Kenneth walked in the meeting you're having tomorrow.

134
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,880
Hopefully, of course, Kenneth is on your board with that.

135
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,620
Does he have him involved tomorrow, if all possible?

136
00:18:30,060 --> 00:18:30,520
Who's that?

137
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:30,980
Kenneth.

138
00:18:31,260 --> 00:18:31,540
Okay.

139
00:18:32,740 --> 00:18:35,660
And that was one of the conversations we had about a month ago,

140
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,040
Jonathan, I did with Kenneth, not being informed on some of what's

141
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,940
happening and the changes and that type of thing.

142
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,340
So he needs to be 100% involved.

143
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:51,220
involved. Glad you made it, Kenneth. And maybe visit with him afterwards. Maybe you

144
00:18:51,220 --> 00:18:55,300
guys already have, I don't know. I know you're hitting this thing running. So,

145
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:01,740
Kenneth, if we would wrap you in chat and have conversation today sometime or

146
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:07,820
something, if you would, go ahead. That's all I got. I appreciate it. I don't know

147
00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:11,560
the process. I think that you just nominate someone and then you guys

148
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,280
vote on, yeah, or maybe just to point them, I'm not sure how that works.

149
00:19:15,660 --> 00:19:24,080
You'll bring someone to us that you recommend and then we'll approve them or just approve them.

150
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:24,520
Okay.

151
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,360
And you just have the one position.

152
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,500
One position in my district.

153
00:19:27,740 --> 00:19:28,820
And we have that filled.

154
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:29,360
Yes, sir.

155
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,240
We can do it.

156
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,320
Yeah, thanks, Chad.

157
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,140
Okay, commissioners, any other questions before we start

158
00:19:40,730 --> 00:19:41,870
the budget work session?

159
00:19:44,380 --> 00:19:44,620
No.

160
00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:53,390
motion. Okay. With that, we need a motion to close the regular meeting. Second.

161
00:20:05,550 --> 00:20:06,310
Motion
